《Sealed Divine Throne》 Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Knight Examination (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Odin Town, containing 3,000 households, was located at the southern border of the Temple Alliance and counted itself as one of the biggest viges under the jurisdiction of the city of Haoyue. As the morning sun was rising, its bright and warm touch carefully nurtured the earth, as if calling for everyone to wake up. At that time, at the center of Odin, in a rtively big two-story building of more than a thousand square meters, an examination was going on. A vigorous, powerful, and somewhat rough voice rang out. Tell me, why do you want to be knights? To defend humanity! To defend the kind hearted! To defend the Temple Alliance! To defend our families! The voices that answered the question sounded young and were coordinated. Clearly, it was not the first time they had answered that question. That two story building was the Knight Temple Hall of Odin Town, abbreviated as Odin Hall. It was the ce where children with potential were selected to undergo training to be knights. Today, a little more than thirty children were attending the selection test to be the most basic knight, the Knight Squire. Only after they became a Knight Squire could they continue studying and cultivating there. The owner of the vigorous voice was a tall, burly, strongly-built, middle-aged man. His name was Balza and he was the Chief Knight Teacher of Odin Hall. Reportedly, he was in his prime, and reputed to be very, very close to bing a Genuine Knight. Balza red severely at the bunch of kids ranging from eight to ten years old, Tell me, what are the standards of a knight? Once more, the answer was coordinated, Modesty! Honesty! Compassion! Courage! Fairness! Sacrifice! Honor! Perseverance! Humility! Justice! Balza nodded, satisfied, Good! All of you here have already been training for one year. Today, we will hold the examination. Knight Squires are ssified from the 1st to 10th rank, corresponding to a spiritual energy between 10 and 100. Your task today will be to attain a spiritual energy of at least 10 and thus be a Knight Squire of the first rank. All those who sessfully pass this exam will be able to remain here and train for three more years before participating in a final assessment to be an official knight. Only after you be an official knight, like me, can you be considered a genuine member of the Temple. Now, lets begin! Jiang Hu! Yes. A youth with a big stature walked forward as he removed the wooden sword that was strapped to his back. All these youths had the same equipment: a wooden sword that was a meter in length, with a width of ten centimeters and a thickness of six centimeters. The examination for bing a Knight Squire was simple: in front of Balza was something that looked like a big wooden block connected to a stone groove. Within that stone groove was a stone bead. By hitting the block of wood, the stone bead would vibrate and the amount of spiritual energy one has would be determined by how high the stone bead jumped. This could be considered an outdated method to evaluate ones spiritual energy, but it was very precise when evaluating spiritual energies below one hundred. In Shengmo Dalu, spiritual energy was the main factor used in evaluating everyones rank in their upation. It didnt matter if they were knights, magicians, or any other profession, the level of the spiritual energy being used was the main factor for assessing ones strength. Ten was generally the average spiritual energy level for normal adult males. Aahh! Jiang Hu shouted loudly, with both hands grasping the wooden sword as he fiercely swung it against the wooden block. Bang! The stone bead moved up, then down. Balza nodded, satisfied, and registered his name on a sheet of paper as he dered, Jiang Hu, spiritual energy level: 13. You pass! Next one The examination was quickly carried out and, in an instant, half of the people had already finished. Those who seeded were about half of them. Long Haochen. When he called the name, Balza unconsciously lowered his head. Before him was the figure of a thin young boy. Inparison to the others, the young boy looked a little malnourished. He was quite thin, but had a handsome face. He had naturally supple eyebrows, big eyes, long eyshes, a straight nose, white skin, and thick lips. Even though he was only eight or nine years old, he was beautiful enough to make women jealous of him; especially because of his ck hairbined with his pair of dark blue eyes. If he were to cross-dress, he would be a nation-level beauty. Long Haochen went up in front of Balza, but did not take out his wooden sword like the others. Instead, he ced his right hand on his chest and bowed, saluting Balza. Teacher. Balzas originally serious look softened slightly. He nodded, and instructed, Start! Yes! Drawing his sword, Long Haochen took a deep breath and suddenly swung it with all his might, hitting the wooden block. With a puff sound, the stone bead bounced; but it obviously did not reach the tenth division. Balza immediately frowned, Spiritual energy level: 9. You dont pass. From the speed of the sh that he saw from Long Haochens sword, he could see that Long Haochen truly did use all of his power and had gone all out; but he still could not pass the examination to be Knight Squire. Long Haochens pretty face became flushed and, while looking at Balza, he said pleadingly, Instructor, I I Balza sighed slightly and said, Go down. Long Haochen eagerly repeated, Teacher, give me another chance. I will definitely pass! Balza scowled, saying, But, that would be unfair to the others who didnt pass. Long Haochen suddenly became silent, but the determination in his eyes persisted. Balza noticed the expression in his eyes and, at the same moment, he couldnt help staring nkly at Long Haochen. What is that? Perseverance? The Perseverance described in the Ten Standards of a Knight? The Ten Standards of a Knight are the ten essences of the knights. Even some Genuine Knights are unable to disy some of these ten essences, but this kid before my eyes While Balza was lost in his thoughts, Long Haochen turned to face the other examinees and, using a very sincere tone towards the ones who trained alongside him for the past year, dered, I beg of you, give me another chance. As he pleaded, he had, unexpectedly, knelt down. Balza was bbergasted. The youths were also bbergasted. To these kids that were eight to ten years old, it was fundamentally impossible to understand why Long Haochen was so persistent. Balzas eyes widened, if it was another kid, he would have believed that the kid was greedy or cowardly, but that couldnt be the case for Long Haochen. Because, even though Long Haochen may seem thin and weak, during that past years training, he was the most assiduous amongst all of the kids. Not only did he perfectly aplish the mandatory training everyday, he also came an hour earlier and left an hourter. Balza was a Standard Knight of the 10th rank, but he had already been an instructor for ten years and Long Haochen was the most diligent student he had ever seen. That boy never needed to be supervised. Not only did he train hard every day, he was also good to everyone and helped his fellow trainees whenever they asked him for help. That was also why, when it was Long Haochens turn, Balzas look became gentle. But the fact that Long Haochen didnt pass the exam took him aback. If such a diligent child didnt pass the examination, the only exnation would be a totalck of talent. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Knight Examination (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Teacher, please let him be evaluated once more. The one who said that was Jiang Hu, the first one who passed the examination, as well as the oldest in this group of children. Yes! Instructor, please give Haochen one more chance. Teacher, Haochen works every day with such diligence, please let him try again. At that moment, pleas for Long Haochen came from almost all of the children. That was the result of his poprity. Add in that they were just a bunch of kids that did not have the notion of a benefit-based rtionship, and it showed that they were merely being concerned for him and had no hidden purpose. Balzas voice rang out, Silence! Everyone in the hall calmed down. Balza said, Okay, I will give him a chance; but, for this to be fair, Long Haochen, you will first have to defeat Jiang Hu in a one-on-one duel. The same applies to anyone who failed, those who can beat Jiang Hu within three days starting from today will be evaluated again. Long Haochen was overjoyed. He thanked his ssmates before turning towards Balza, Thank you, Teacher. Looking at the stunning boy with a bright face and a pure smile, even if Balza was a man, he couldnt help feeling startled. Putting aside Long Haochen, he looked at Jiang Hu, and lightly said, Go all out, or else, I will cancel your promotion as Knight Squire, understood? Yes. Jiang Hu agreed. As he pulled out a wooden sword from his back, all the other youths scattered away, creating an empty area. While holding the wooden sword, Jiang Hu performed a knight salute to Long Haochen. Haochen, be careful. I will show no mercy. Long Haochen, likewise, saluted, Brother Jiang, please. Jiang Hu let out a sound as he took a step forward with his hands gripping his wooden sword, going straight towards Long Haochen and aiming for his left shoulder. Long Haochen appeared very calm, as if he was observing him in slow-motion. Until the wooden sword in Jiang Hus hand split the distance between them in half, he didnt move. Then, at that instant, he swung his sword towards the bottom of Jiang Hus sword. With a quiet Duh! sound, in a situation where Jiang Hus spiritual energy was far greater than Long Hachens, Jiang Hu was, unexpectedly, the one being swung at. Seeing that blow, Balzas eyes shed, showing his surprise. Jiang Hu was being swung at, but his reaction was quick. He rotated his body, and as he used the power of his waist to drive the force of his hand, the wooden sword in his hand circled once, cutting horizontally. Jiang Hus adaptability was brilliant. At his age, the fact that hes able to have such a good level of mastery was pretty good. However, Long Haochens answer was even more surprising. By the time Jiang Hu swung his sword, he had already advanced forward. The distance between the two was already pretty close. With a few steps, Long Haochen arrived at Jiang Hus side, as Jian Hu rotated his body. How does he n to attack? Doubt appeared in Balzas mind. The wooden swords were a meter long and, at such a close distance, Long Haochen would not be able to attack openly. But at that moment, Long Haochen unexpectedlyunched an attack using the swords hilt. As his body sunk downwards, simultaneously his swords hilt went up, aiming right under Jiang Hus rib. Although that attack from Long Haochen contained no force, Jiang Hus body still became unsteady and was swept to the side of Long Haochens wooden sword. Stop! Balza shouted. Balzas eyes shed and he said in a heavy voice, Bnce loss. Jiang Hu, you lost. If Long Haochen really did use his force, you would be lying down on the floor right now. Jiang Hu embarrassedly scratched his head, Haochen, you are so cunning. Long Haochen withdrew his sword, looking apologetically at Jiang Hu because he had difficulty standing firm. Balza nodded towards Long Haochen, You can try the assessment for a second time! Back in front of the wooden block, the look on Long Haochens face changed, bing more dignified and giving off an unusual feeling. Both hands holding the wooden sword, Long Haochens eyes looked imposing, his body looked like it was producing light. In particr, his eyesthose clear blue eyeswore a firm look. Suddenly, Long Haochen turned back fiercely, taking hold of his wooden sword, he looked far more obsessed than his peers. Bang! The stone bead went up as Long Haocheng was being repelled by the shock and took a step back. The wooden sword in his hands almost fell, and there was a trace of blood on his hands. Spiritual energy: 11. You pass! Balza shouted with a shocked voice. Going from the 9th spiritual energy level to the 11th sounded just like a little difference of two levels. However, in his previous assessment, he estimated that Long Haochen was already going all out. To produce such an increase meant that his potential had been stimted to its limit. After a brief surprise, Balza came back to normal, and letting Long Haochen go to the infirmary to bandage his wound, then continued the next assessments. The assessments are finished. Those who failed, donte again tomorrow. Those who passed will be assigned to new instructors tomorrow. After receiving some Elemental Training Liquid, you can go back home. Now, dismissed! The youths shouted in unison, Thank you, Instructor! Long Haochen, you stay a little longer. The youths cheerfully left. At that age, whether they passed or not, they easily found joy and happiness. There were only two people left in Odin Hall: Long Haochen and Balza. Haochen, tell me, why did you choose to attack that way during your duel against Jiang Hu? Balza asked seriously. Long Haochen replied without hesitation, Because my strength doesnt match Big Brother Jiang Hus, so I could only look for his weaknesses. You taught us that, when attacking, the strongest point is at the tip of the sword and that the closer you get to the handle, the weaker the strength gets. Thus, at the time he attacked, I located his center of gravity on his waist, and closed the distance between us. By aiming for his center of gravity, I prevented him from using his full power so that he had no way to continue his attack. Balzas eyes were full of surprise, So, you are saying that all of this was aplished through observation? He had never taught these kidsbat because, at their age,ying the foundation was more important than to spend time training. Okay, you can go home. Balza waved. He felt that that child had potential that the other children didnt have. Wearing that beautiful face and showing a moment of shyness, Long Haochen tentatively asked, Teacher, todays portion of Elemental Training Liquid Oh, go take it. Goodbye, Teacher. Long Haochen happily left. As he watched from behind as the boys figure jumped away, Balza could not help revealing a smile on his face, This child he is well behaved, works hard, and it looks like he has a very promising talent forbat. He is a really rare good seed. Do you know how he managed to find the opponents weak point so easily? At that moment, a cool and bright melodious voice sounded around Balza. Because that sound came so unexpectedly, Balza was suddenly scared stiff. He didnt know since when he had been there, but at Balzas side was another middle-aged person. He looked to be in his thirties, d in a simple and in robe, but he had a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars. In the depths of those eyes appeared an ounce of disappointment, a radiance of memories, as well as a feeling of pain that could be felt by others. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Knight Examination (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Senior, I dont know. As soon as he saw that middle-aged man, Balza hurried to salute him. This middle-aged person came to Odin Hall a few days earlier, so he was not sure of this mans identity and circumstances, and only knew that he was a figure from the group of knightsing from Haoyue city. The middle-aged man looked back, saying indifferently, It is because his mental capacity is different from ordinary peoples. Otherwise, how do you think he could disy that kind of talent? Long Haochen was happily holding a small ss bottle in his hands and jubntly ran towards his home. For the other kids, the liquid in that bottle was just a hard-to-drink medicine, but for him, it was actually the reason why he joined the Knight Temple. As he walked, he said aloud, Big brother Jiang Hu was right, this Elemental Training Liquid is a really good thing. Ever since she started drinking a bottle of this each week, Mothers health has been getting better. Sorry, Mother. You taught me that, as a man, I cant beg other people, but if I couldnt pass the examination today, I would never be able to bring you another Elemental Training Liquid to drink. If Balza heard Long Haochens remark, he would be staring at him in astonishment. To the Knight Temple, the Elemental Training Liquid was a kind of medicine that had a special effect on children under fifteen years old. It would help enable them to strengthen their basic cultivation results, assist in their training, andy their bodys foundations. The reason why Long Haochen had almost failed the examination today was that he didnt drink any Elemental Training Liquid at all! All of it was given to his mother. One year ago, he was just a thin and weak little boy, and today, he had to make intense efforts in order to break through the tenth spiritual energy level since he had given to his mother to drink the Elemental Training Liquid that was supposed to support his spiritual energys cultivation. To that nine year-old kid, in terms of difficulty, going through that trialpletely surpassed the hurdles of the examination to be a Standard Knight. The sunlight fell on Long Haochens body which shone with a golden luster that seemed to have emerged from the bottom of his heart. Long Haochens home was located on the western side of Odin; he even had to cross a river to reach it. Quickly, he passed over the wooden bridge. However, he didnt go straight home, but went along a little road that gave ess to a forest that was west of Odin. Every time he got the Elemental Training Liquid, he would first pick up some vegetables. Before he could give it to his mother to drink, hed mix the medicine with some wild vegetables, producing a soup with a strong taste. As he went through the forest, he quickly got to work. Thesest few years, Long Haochen and his mother depended on each other. Even in Odin Town, their household was the poorest one and, as the child of a poor person, he had to take care of the chores early on, whereas a lot of children of the same age only knew about ying everyday. He needed to help his mother so he could help share in some of her pains. Although mother and child were relying on the mothers meager ie from sewing some clothes every day for their life expenses, Long Haochen felt that his life was still quite happy. After a while, quite a few herbs were piled up. Long Haochen had be quite familiar with them, and, although they were only wild herbs, their vor was not so bad. He knew that because, since infancy, he had eaten a lot of them. As Long Haochen was preparing to pack these up before going home, he suddenly heard a low pitched Puff! sound that startled him. Actually, the forest was not so peaceful: there were asionally some wild animals in it. Long Haochen looked in the direction from which he heard the sound, and saw a faint, small figure that seemed to have fallen down. Urged by his curiosity, he cautiously walked towards it. After several steps, he saw that the shadow that had fallen in the forest was actually no wild animal, but was, unexpectedly, a little girl. The little girl seemed to be seven or eight years old, had a very delicate appearance, and short purple hair. Her clothes were damaged, and blood wasing out from at least six or seven ces on her body. Although she had fallen on the ground, she still maintained her consciousness. She tried to get up, but was having some difficulty. Long Haochen hurried towards her, tried to help her get up, and asked her, Are you okay? The little girl looked surprised and she unconsciously moved back, looking at him from the side. At that moment, Long Haochen saw the appearance of the little girl. A lot of dirt was on her beautiful cheeks, and the corner of her mouth was letting out a thread of blood. She looked very embarrassed, but her delicate features would still easily shock people. However, her beauty was different from Long Haochens. Long Haochens gaze was gentle, giving people a feeling of intimacy. That little girl, however, had a stubborn and cold gaze, and as she suddenly stared at him, Long Haochen couldnt help shivering. Seeing Long Haochen, the little girl looked surprised. She didnt know if it was because her affinity for Long Haochen was good enough, however, she had quickly calmed down. Are you okay? Long Haochen asked one more time. The little girl lifted a hand reluctantly and wrote a line of words: I cant speak, bad people are chasing me, they will arrive soon. Sister, save me! Looking at the words written in front of him, Long Haochen was shocked, but when he read thest words she wrote, a few ck lines appeared on his forehead. It is brother, not sister. After defending himself with one sentence in a depressed tone, he lifted the little girl up, full of determination. Since he was able to pass the Knights examination, his strength was already at the level of an adults. Plus, the little girls body was especially light, so when he held her, he did not find her heavy at all. After lifting her up, Long Haochen went back to the spot he was at, using a rough rope to pick up the wild herbs. But at that moment, the little girl anxiously pulled thepel of his clothing. Long Haochen gawked at her as he hurriedly ced her on the ground, and the little girl wrote quickly on the ground: I feel their presence, they will arrive soon. They can track my scent. Go, quickly! Otherwise, it will be toote! Long Haochen wrinkled his brows and firmly shook his head, dering: Out of the question! As a man, I must protect you. Even though he was only nine years old, as he said those words, his beautiful little face contained an incredible resolution. Your scent? The expression in Long Haochens eyes changed. Very quickly, he extracted some parts from some nearby wild herbs and pressed them with his hand before he quickly rubbed them on the little girls body as well as his own. Afterwards, he ran to the side, carrying her towards bushes, and ced her carefully in the middle of the bushes. At that point, hey on his stomach, using his elbows to support his body. He didnt notice that while he was doing that, the little girl he was protecting stared at him with a strange look, without moving at all. When Long Haochen stopped moving, he heard some noise from beyond the bushes. From a gap between the bushes, he secretly looked out, and saw a group of men in ck clothes. The mens figures were very tall, and seemed a little fishy. Among these people were some specialized in smelling odors. Why does the scent trail end here? Did that little girl get someone to rescue her? An unpleasantly husky voice resounded in the woods. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Knight Squire Examination (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Making use of the sunlight that passed through the space between the trees, Long Haochen clearly saw one of the ck-d guys appearances and almost cried out in rm because his face was, unexpectedly, totally covered with ck hair. His yellow eyes looked especially ferocious, and his nose was ceaselessly twitching, as if he was trying to smell the odors. It was also at that moment that an ice-cold voice resounded throughout the woods, Dont go any further! Since you chased her, dont think of returning. Then, a sparkling light appeared silently in the sky, taking a graceful shape it rapidly twinkled a few times, like lightning in the middle of the woods. The seven or eight ck-d pursuers stiffened up and then fell to the ground the very next instant. Long Haochen could only see the bushes before him when a white-clothed person with a covered face suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Before that white-d mans movements were even seen, from his chest, multiple specks of light flew out. In the next instant, it seemed as if the whole forest was shaken by those rays of light. Long Haochen was dazzled and wasnt able to keep his eyes open. When he could finally see the scenery before his eyes, he found, to his astonishment, that the ck-d men had all disappeared. Only the white-d man, who was standing calmly on the ground, was left. Everything happened too quickly. The only thing in front of Long Haochen now was the bushes. Everything else was turned into dust. It looked as though the ferocious looking people were never there to begin with! The white-d man slowly turned around, looked at the direction of Long Haochen and the mute girl, and calmly said, Come out. Long Haochen felt tense. Obviously, he had been discovered. Just then he saw that white-d mans pair of eyes. Those eyes appeared emotionless, with ck pupils that seemed grey. His long ck hair grew from the back of his head, reaching his shoulders, and he was d in a simple, white attire without any decorations. The formidable white-d man made Long Haochens heart tremble. After all, he was only nine years old; however, as he lowered his head and saw the messy and pale face of the little mute girl below him, his blood was surging within his body, turning into a surge of courage. Calmly shaking his head towards the little girl, hinting to her to not make any noise, he supported himself with both of his hands strength, and jumped out from the bushes. At the same time, he took out his wooden sword from his back. The white-d man stood there without moving; but even like that, Long Haochen could instinctively feel that the man in front of him was stronger than any wild beast he had ever met, as well as far more dangerous. Long Haochen calmly took hold of his wooden sword, and firmly looked at the white-d person. He only hoped that the man didnt discover the little mute girl. We should go back. Even though the white-d mans voice was still emotionless, these simple words made Long Haochen sweat, drenching his body. Also, at that moment, with a whiz sound, a lovely silhouette appeared in front of Long Haochen. He shockingly discovered that the one that moved at a speed that his eyes couldnt even follow was the little mute girl that he was protecting a moment ago. She is really fast! Long Haochen stared nkly at her. The little mute girl stretched her arms out, using her thin and weak little body to block Long Haochen. Her firm gaze was stubbornly directed at the white-d man before her, as she energetically shook her head. It looked as though the expression in the emotionless eyes of the white-d, long-haired, expressionless man changed. In the next instant, his body moved, twinkling like a graceful white light. Then, unexpectedly, and at an iparably fast speed, the little mute girl in front of Long Haochen moved as well. Long Haochen had much better observation skills than most people his age, but he could only see something that seemed to be a little knife in the small hands of the mute girl. Her body had made several irregr movements, like those of a fierce and tough little tiger. That speed was something only someone with a spiritual energy higher than 20 could possibly have. Unfortunately, the disparity of power between the two of them was insurmountable and before one could take a single breath, everything was finished. The mute little girls dagger couldnt be seen anymore, and she was caught under the armpit of the white-d person. The white-d person had taken hold of her, though Long Haochen basically didnt see what had happened. Free her! Long Haochen shouted. Using a very standard posture for knights, the wooden sword in his hand faced the white-d man. At that time, he hadpletely forgotten the intimidating nature of the person before him. He only thought about saving the little mute girl. Going all out, Long Haochen held his wooden sword, preparing to attack, but his consciousness suddenly sank into darkness, as the white-d man lifted an arm. Under his armpit, the small mute girl struggled violently. The white-d man was surprised by that sudden action, because he felt that under his armpit, the whole body of the little girl started to send out a scorching heat, and ayer of dark red radiance was alsoing from her skin. Calm down, I will not injure him. The white-d mans voice finally sounded like a humans, though he looked helpless. The little mute girl stopped struggling, and raised her head to look at the white-d man. The white-d man nodded, looking at her, then took a step forward, before arriving directly in front of Long Haochen. He picked up Haochens body using a single hand, and held his gaze. After a short while, the white-d man slowly wrinkled his eyebrows, His innate qualities belong to the upper ss, but his bones growth is insufficient. His temperament and innate qualities make him suitable to bing an outstanding knight. As he said that, he loosened his hold on the mute little girl. She quickly made several hand gestures. The white-d man said, His future prospects? It is hard to say. Looking only at his natural qualities, he can be an outstanding knight. Hes only eight or nine years old, but already possesses some qualities of a knight:passion, courage, perseverance, and sacrifice. His possibilities are limitless, he will be an outstanding knight who will protect the people around him and this mindset will be even more important than his natural talent. The little girl pointed at her own body, then pointed at Long Haochens, making several hand gestures. The white-d man nodded and said, Alright, the courage he just showed does deserve a reward. A group of white lights surged out from the white-d mans chest, forming a shape simr to a small white stove, a stove from which thin blue mes shone. A momentter, the blue and white light disappeared, merging with the white-ds mans body. He was clearly exhausted. Alright, I just used the Spiritual Stove of Power to help him sort out his twelve standard channels, it will allow him to develop his potential to a good extent. Now that your trial is finished, lets head back. After he spoke those words, the white-d man calmly stood up, and waved to the little mute girl. However, against all expectations, the little mute girl ran towards Long Haochen, took off a blue ring with a golden band from one of her fingers, and she put it on Long Haochens middle finger on his left hand. Strangely, when that ring was ced on Long Haochens finger, it erged itself by a bit and, in the end, fully fit itself around his finger. Caier, you The white-d man cried out in a small voice. The next thing he saw was the inflexible stubborn gaze of the mute little girl. She also reorganized the wild herbs beside him before heading back to the white-d mans side. The white-d man, who had stayedpletely silent for a long time, wrinkled his brow, nodded slowly, then pulled the mute little girls hand and disappeared with her into the depths of the forest. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Mysterious New Instructor (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Mmm Long Haochen slowly regained consciousness and blinked several times. From the looks of it, those long eyshes of his could really make any girl jealous. He gradually came back to his senses. After he suddenly turned over and sat on the ground, he uttered Am I alright? Looking at his unharmed body, he couldnt help feeling relieved. He was surrounded by total silence. In the woods, the only sounds present were the cries of birds. When he lowered his head, Long Haochen found the wild herbs neatly put in order by his side. Stupefied, he rubbed his own temples. Did I really fall asleep? Was all that just a dream? Oh, whats this? He noticed a ring on his finger. It was a blue-colored ring that emitted a slightly glowing luster. It wasnt a kind of metallic brightness, but a porcin or jade-like glow. The decorative circr pattern was covered with gold, with a gem the size of a grain of rice embedded on it. The precious stone waspletely embedded in the ring and he could feel its smooth little surface with his hand. The rings inner circle was entirely golden. When it was pressed close to his finger, it seemed to stick out a little, giving him a strange feeling. Long Haochen nkly stared. He immediately realized that everything that happened before hisa was real, but he was still confused. His mind was full of questions. What was the rtionship between the little mute girl and the white-d man? Also, how did the white-d man make those ferocious-looking people chasing her disappear? And whos the owner of this ring? For the nine year-old Long Haochen, these issues were just tooplicated and he had absolutely no clue about the answers. After standing up, he unconsciously went to the ce where their pursuers had vanished. He immediately discovered that there was something strange in this ce. After a few steps, Long Haochen saw that the ground, which was originally full of green grass, had turned into a barrennd and that the area had obvious defects in some ces. Farther out the grass only had traces of ck burns that eventually turned into the same color as the dark-greennds. Well, lets stop thinking about this, its better that I quickly return home and give Mother her wild herb soup. After Long Haochen checked on himself and made sure that the Elemental Training Liquid was still there, he steadily departed. He went to pick up his wooden sword before heading towards the direction of his home. However, he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon and stopped in his tracks the moment he picked the wooden sword up. The wooden sword felt like it had be lighter, as if it was the weight of a feather! The truth was, the wooden sword in his hand was not what Genuine Knights used. It was lighter and wasnt made the same way. The sword was made of hardwood and weighed 3.5 to 4 kilograms. Despite that, he had needed a full month of training before he was able to use it. At that time, he had entered Odin Hall. Did the wooden sword be lighter? Wrong, it still has the same appearance! Is it possible that it is my strength that has improved? When he thought about it, both of Long Haochens hands took hold of the sword and he dashed forward, using the sword to sh the air in front of him. Immediately, a sound rang out. The swords power really scared him, but his hands remained stable. He clearly felt that his limbs and bones strengths had increased tremendously. He jumped several times, and felt as though his body was now as light as his wooden sword had be. This is at least the strength of someone with a spiritual energy level of 20, right? In his mind, Long Haochen remembered the indifferent and stubborn face of the little mute girl and muttered, Are you the one who gave this to me? Tomorrow, Ill appraise my spiritual energy level at the Hall by hitting the wooden block again. A youths heart cant be veryplicated. Although a lot of matters today left Long Haochen perplexed, after a single thought about his mother being able to drink Elemental Training Liquid again, he cast everything else aside. After all, the little mute girl was someone he just met, so he could only inwardly pray for her safety. There is a ce with a little courtyard, two thatched rooms, a few shelves entangled in vines, and some vegetables drying under the sun. This was Long Haochens home. Mother, I am back! The door to the thatched cottage opened and a peasant woman came out. Long Haochen looked at her outward appearance, then immediately revealed a smile as he ran to her. She was Bai Yue, Long Haochens mother. Long Haochens appearance was very simr to hers, as if he was carved out based on her appearance. Although Bai Yue was simply dressed and had undergone a lot of hardships, her exceedingly beautiful appearance would still intensely shock anyone who saw her. The only thing that separated her looks and Long Haochens was her eye color. Bai Yues eyes were ck, whereas Long Haochens were a dark-blue color. However, because of their beautiful appearances, they had an even harder life. Because of her beautiful appearance, Bai Yue, as she was bearing her son, was frequently harassed by others. Though those issues were somehow resolved, its amazing how one was able to live such a life. Although they came to Odin Town under an agreement, she was forced to live in a remote corner of the town, and was made to wash other peoples clothes as her job, which enabled her to gain a meager ie that was only barely enough to sustain her household. Chenchen, you came back. How was the examination? Bai Yue, brimming with joy, ran to her son, picked him up, and held him in her arms. The nine-year-old Long Haochen was barely at the top of her stomach in height. Affected by his mothers soft and pure fragrance, Long Haochen jubntly answered, Mother, I passed it. Bai Yue faintly smiled, I knew it, Chenchen is the best. Quickly washup, Mother will prepare your lunch right now. Long Haochen jumped away from his mothers bosom, Let me go prepare it. I picked some edible wild herbs that I can use to prepare a soup for you to drink. As he said that, he went straight to the thatched cottage. When he reached the entrance, he couldnt help turning his head towards his mothers direction. He didnt know why, but he believed that she seemed really happy today. In fact, his mother generally didnt speak much during the day. Bai Yue continuously followed her son with her eyes as he went to the kitchen, while murmuring, Chenchen, you are having such a hard time, but She sighed lightly as her eyes revealed signs of internal struggle, but in the end, she was able to finally restrain her inner feelings that were about to surge out. The night silently passed. The next day, Long Haochen woke up early and he went to eat the breakfast that was prepared by his mother before he proceeded to Odin Hall. When he was sound asleep, his dreams had showed the scene that had urred during the day, and even showed the moment when that little mute girl gave him the ring. It fired him up to such an extent that, in the morning, as he woke up, he was too impatient to wait much longer, and left in a hurry to confirm how much his spiritual energy grew. Because he came so early, when Long Haochen got to Odin Hall, no one else had arrived yet. There was nothing valuable at Odin Hall, so there was basically no one monitoring the ce, not even Balza, the Knight Instructor who lived right behind it. After hurrying to yesterdays examination ce in front of the wooden block, Long Haochen drew the wooden sword from behind his back. He came early today to prove that his guess was correct by taking a spiritual energy test. With the wooden sword slowly raised, Long Haochen concentrated. His foot was umting his power as he took a deep breath and, from his hands, the wooden sword went down at full speed.

Chapter 6: Mysterious New Instructor (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Puff!Swish!Ping! Three sessive sounds directly resounded, all of which soundedpletely different. The first one came from the chop. The second one was from the sword, snapping from the impact. The wooden sword couldnt withstand the power of Long Haochens attack and snapped from the middle. Fortunately, it wasntpletely divided into two parts, or else the upper part may have flown towards him and hurt him. Thest sound was that of the collision with the stone bead. While he was still in the middle of his motion, Long Haochen clearly saw that the bead had impressively bounced up to the twenty-fifth division, the highest one! Is this for real? It was. The fact that the wooden sword had snapped like that proved it. Balza once told him that the wooden sword they used could bear, at most, the twentieth spiritual energy level. Long Haochen didnt have a lot of knowledge in regard to knights, but the fact that, in an evening, he improved from his state of Knight Squire of the first step to be a Knight Squire of the second step made him very shocked and pleasantly surprised. Hm? Then Long Haochen came back to his senses. Uttering a quiet noise, he turned his head around subconsciously, and was shocked to discover that, without his noticing, a middle-aged man was right behind him. Long Haochen was surprised, but not scared at all. Instead, he was curiously looking at him. The middle-aged man had a tall and thin stature, ck hair, ck pupils, handsome looks, and bright eyes. It cannot be said that he looked eminently talented, but he definitely looked dignified. After showing a moment of surprise, the middle-aged man quickly came back to his senses, wrinkled his brows and looked back at Long Haochen. Who are you? Long Haochen asked, full of curiosity. The middle-aged man answered with a faint voice, You just passed the Knight Squire test yesterday; so, starting today, I am your new Instructor. You can call me Teacher Xingyu. Long Haochen hesitatingly said, But, this is the first time Ive met you. Xingyu faintly said, You are called Long Haochen. You are nine years old this year, and your mother is called Bai Yue, am I right? Long Haochen nodded. Xingyus stare suddenly sunk down. Then, wait for Balza and we will see. After he said that, he suddenly stopped speaking and stared at a certain direction, with his lips slightly sulking. After a little time, rapid footsteps could be heard and Long Haochen saw Balza running towards them at a fast pace. His face looked greatly shocked and respectful. Hello, Instructor. Long Haochen immediately presented his Knights salute to Balza as he saw him arrive. Strangely enough, Balza didnt return the salute as usual. Instead, he hurriedly went in front of Xingyu and respectfully said, Senior. Xingyu nodded, Tell him that I am his new Instructor. Right. Balza hurriedly turned towards Long Haochen and said, Senior Xingyues from Haoyue Citys Knight Hall and, from today onwards, he will be your Knight Instructor for the next three years. You will listen to every order he gives you. Senior Xingyu is a Genuine Knight. Yes, sir. Long Haochen politely answered. In fact, he had no idea about what the difference was between a Standard Knight and a Genuine Knight. He simply knew that since hes his new instructor, he had to practice with him. Teacher Xingyu. As he thought about that, he kindly saluted Xingyu. Long Haochen was truly far more mature than the others that were the same age, and more steady, as well. En,1 we have to go. Xingyu said that as he grabbed Long Haochen by the hand and headed for the entrance to Odin Hall. Before he stepped forward, his obscure gaze stayed fixed on Long Haochens beautiful face, showing an upset face. When they exited Odin Hall, Long Haochen couldnt help asking, Teacher Xingyu, shouldnt we stay here to practice? Xingyu replied, This ce isnt suitable. Affected by Xingyus cold expression, Long Haochen didnt dare to ask him any further. Balzas gaze was directed towards their figures as they left; he was shocked and said aloud, Doesnt that Senior know his own status? For him to send his greetings to someone like me To be so powerful, he must at least be an Earth Knight. No, maybe he is a Radiant Knight? Heavens! As Xingyu was taking Long Haochen away from Odin Town, Long Haochen suddenly felt a surge of warmth. A simple and honest feeling came from Long Xingyus hand, and, in the next moment, a strange scene urred. Everytime Xingyus tiptoes touched the grounds surface, they would cross at least thirty-three meters2 and, after a few breaths, Odin Town was already far from sight. For Long Haochen, this traveling speed was incredible. It could be described as, as swift as the wind and as quick as lightning. All Haochen could do was strongly grip Xingyus hand, for fear of otherwise falling. They passed through the ce where Long Haochen picked the edible wild herbs in the forest, and climbed a mountain peak that was in the same direction. Long Haochen was familiar with this ce; it was where he grew up, after all. The mountain was called, by the people from Odin Town, Odin Mountain. But before the mountain, there was a forest where wild beasts would often appear, and sometimes even magical beasts. Therefore, few people go there. He also went to the foot of Odin Mountain half a year ago out of curiosity. There, he discovered a famous wild beastkin, but he ran away, frightened, upon seeing it. From that day onwards, Long Haochen never prated the forest so deeply again, not to mention Odin Mountain. Teacher, there are wild beasts here and maybe even magical beasts! Long Haochen reminded him with good intentions. Xingyu looked like he heard him, but went even faster, and started to ascend Odin Mountain. Even during the process of climbing the mountain, his speed never decreased. The scenery quickly passed by as they were brushed by strong winds and their hair dispersed. Odin Mountain was not very high, just 666 odd meters.3 Only after a little while did they arrive at the summit. Three log cabins appeared before Long Haochens line of sight. They didnt have courtyards, just three solitary log cabins; however, they looked brand new. They were clearly built recently. When they arrived at the log cabins, Xingyu stopped moving, then led Long Haochen to the biggest one that was in the middle. They pushed on the door and entered. The log cabin had a thin timber section and emitted a strange smell, but not an unpleasant one. On the contrary, it emitted a sweet smell. The central log cabin was the biggest, but the inner rooms had a simpleyout. There was only a wooden bed, a wooden desk, and two wooden chairs. As simple as that, but still more than Long Haochens home. Sit. Xingyu pointed to a chair and pulled out the other one to sit on. Long Haochen sat down. Although hes young, he could feel that his teacher was quite formidable. He was quite nervous, but somewhat excited at the same time. Tell me what happened to you yesterday. Why did your spiritual energy level increase so much? Xingyu calmly asked. His face was expressionless, but from Long Haochens point of view, his words were filled with an invisible pressure. What happened yesterday was Long Haochen didnt feel like he had anything to hide, so he told him everything that happened at once. During the whole time he was listening, Xingyu only wrinkled his face once, slightly, but, except for that one time, his expression didnt change at all. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Mysterious New Instructor (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen couldnt help asking, Teacher, do you think that the girl may be in trouble? Xingyu shook his said, and answered. No, she should be on the same side as that white-d man, both of them probably belong to the Assassin Temple. Assassin Temple? Long Haochens eyes were full of curiosity Xingyu pulled on the hand that wore the ring, thinking aloud, Isnt this an interspatial ring? As he said that, Long Haochens finger suddenly emitted a small light, and, as his fingertip touched the ring, it caused a thin blue halo to appear. Xingyu looked astonished and told him, Youre quite lucky. It must have been that little girl who left this to you. It has incredible value, dont forget that. That little girl is quite interesting. Long Haochen scratched his head, his beautiful face looked quite doubtful. He actually didnt understand what his teacher meant at all. Teacher, do you know how that white-d man made those fierce-looking people disappear? Xingyu showed a smile, They disappeared because he killed those people by using the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove, thats used by those from the Assassin Temple, to break them into pieces, then burn them into ashes without leaving a single trace. It was also through the use of a spiritual stove that the spiritual energy in your body grew. It helped you break through in your twelve spiritual energy channels by burning some impurities, causing changes in your body. This is no small favor, you have to keep it in mind, and, if you have the asion in the future, return the favor to the other side. You cant owe them forever, unless Normally, he wouldnt interrupt him, but Long Haochen himself didnt notice that he did so because he found a lot of interest in Teacher Xingyus words. Teacher, what is this Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove? Was it the white lights that appeared at that moment? Xingyu nodded, saying, You can interpret it like that. Using simple words, it is a smelting furnace that uses spiritual energy, making it undergo several transformations. Each spiritual stove is exclusive to a particr person. However, you dont need to study the knowledge regarding spiritual stoves yet, so I can only tell you now that a spiritual stove is extremely rare. By possessing a spiritual stove such as the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove, one will not be a great powerhouse for certain, but without any, one will never be able to stand at the peak of power. Oh. Listening to him, Long Haochens heart immediately let out a feeling of envy. If in the future he could get a spiritual stove, how would he feel? Looking at the ring on his finger, he couldnt help recalling the little girl he met that day. Xingyu said, I already had Balza inform your family, you will be allowed to go home once a week. The other times, you will be staying here to practice with me. Long Haochen was startled and asked, somewhat anxiously. Teacher, can you still give me some Elemental Training Liquid? Xingyu nodded, and answered, I will do so every time, right before you go home. If your performance is good, I will even give you some better medicine that will have a very good effect on anyones body. On the other hand, if you dont meet my expectations, then I will drive you away from the mountain and you will not be a Knight Squire from the Knight Temple anymore. As he said those words, Xingyus eyes looked profound, showing a small apologetic look. However, he concealed it very well. Basically, Long Haochen didnt even see it. The moment young Haochen heard Xingyus words, he immediately nodded, and showed a firm and inflexible gaze. For his mothers health, he will seriouslyplete everything that was instructed by his teacher. Moreover, he knows that its for his own good that his teacher was teaching him. Xingyu nodded with satisfaction, and said, From today onwards, I will instruct you in all kinds of knowledge in the morning. In the afternoon and the evening, you will practice. You must remember the knowledge I instruct you in. For each thing you forget, I will deduct one portion of Training Elemental Liquid. He obviously knew the weak point of Long Haochen; with only a little warning, he scared the little guy up to the point where he was now just repeatedly nodding. Xingyu said, Tell me what you know about the Temple Alliance. Long Haochen replied, Instructor Balza taught us that the Temple Alliance is an alliance that includes the Knight Temple, the Warrior Temple, the Assassin Temple, the Mage Temple, the Priest Temple, and the Spiritual Temple. These six temples are united in order to guard thest territory of humanity. Xingyu nodded and added, You are right, but these are merely the most basic facts. During ancient times thirteen thousand years ago, mankind gradually gained control of Shengmo Dalu. At that time, in the maind, tens of human countries were formed: they ruled the continent and caused humanity to dominate Shengmo Dalu. Each country developed their own technology and agriculture, in addition to their own intellectual knowledge. It was during this period that mankind developed the fastest. People lived at peace, at ease, and the continent was flourishing. After those peaceful days passed, wars began to appear. Among themselves, the ten countries were involved in ceaseless warfare, and, due to these confrontations, the number of countries lessened and the situation became a confrontation between three big countries. Nobody dared to act rashly towards these three countries and this bnced situationsted for several thousand years. We call this period mankinds glorious seven thousand years. Thissted until six thousand yearster, when this brilliant period suddenly ended because of the arrival of the demon race. At that moment, Xingyu showed a gaze full of horror and hatred. As humans continued their normal lives, nine stars aligned, and an enormous void ripped open in the sky over the eastern part of the maind. Seventy-two demon gods emerged from the rift, bringing with them gues that came from their demonic breath. During the hundred days that followed the first appearance of these demon gods, all living beings, regardless of whether they were wild beasts, magical beasts, or humans, immediately experienced enormous biological variations once they were infected by the gas, and became demonic beings that belonged to the demon race and obeyed all of the orders issued by the demon gods. After a hundred short days, the seventy-two demon gods had an army of several million soldiers. Fortunately, these demon gods demonic breath was only sent out continuously for no more than a hundred days, else Im afraid humanity would have already gone extinct. Long Haochen was only an early youth, he did not have a lot of responsibility and he knew it, so he listened to Xingyus narration as if he was listening to a tale. However, he didnt forget how Xingyu had just threatened him and, as he listened, he tried to keep the tale firmly in his memory. Seventy-two demon gods, and each one has, truly, an almost imprable defense. They are ranked ording to their strength and are the ones who led the armies of mutated demons to assault humanity with the intent to wipe us out. From the day these seventy-two demon gods arrived onwards, humanity entered into a dark age that hassted until this day. After the six thousand years of mutual strife, mankinds countries were already destroyed and, although we saved important wealth and forces, when facing these demonic armies, we were still in a disadvantageous position. We were even nearly extinct until mankinds strongest powers, the six Temple Halls that appeared three thousand years ago, after a lot of struggling, managed to stabilize our situation, stopping the demons progress. However, our Temple Alliance only upies a little area, only one quarter of the maind. When he arrived at that point, Xingyus tone clearly rose up, both of his eyes were sending out a bright radiance, Thus, today I will instruct you in your first lesson that will keep in mind the pain and shame that the demon race has brought us. As Knights, we must guard our homnd, our dear ones, our race. You must recite these words every day, and get enough power to protect the people we must guard. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Mysterious New Instructor (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The demon race has already murdered tens of thousands of ourpatriots, causing thesepatriots blood to stain the ground. Over thest three thousand years, we six temples have never shown remorse for them, and have done the most that was possible for the survival of mankind so that, one day, we would be able to recapture the lost territory and expel those cruel and vicious demons. We will work until ourst breath. Long Haochen, you must keep firmly in mind that the demon race is the enemy we have the most intense and deep-seated hatred towards. Xingyus voice was full of power, and even the nine year-old Long Haochen was incredibly influenced by his words, his blood seething with excitement. The demon race is the enemy we have the most intense and deep-seated hatred towards. Long Haochens firm tone copied the way Xingyu said this sentence. Xingyu nodded, We will concentrate all of our efforts to expel them from our homnd, to recapture our lost territory, and to protect our important ones. Ask yourself this: if, one day, we cannot block the demon races progress anymore, what will happen to Odin Town? Your friends, your mother, what sort of catastrophes will they face? As the clever Long Haochen did so, he shivered uncontrobly, and his look became ferocious. Looking at him, Xingyus eyes revealed a satisfied expression. He could naturally see that the little child had already kept everything he told him firmly in his mind. Today, I will teach you only this much historical knowledge. From tomorrow on, I will tell you about the origin of the six temples. Then, I will teach you about writing, as well as some knowledge regarding the demon race. After a whole morning, Long Haochen was immersed in the various stories that Xingyu told him. Compared to his former Instructor, Balza, the things the new Instructor taught him werepletely different. He taught every kind of lesson to him, sometimes in an allusive way, sometimes in a straightforward way. It was as if his knowledge was boundless. After only one morning, Long Haochen found out that he had already learnt a lot, which made him instantly like his teacher Xingyu. Tomorrow morning, I will give you an examination about everything I told you today. Now, lets eat. You will have a half-hour rest afterwards. Saying that, Xingyu seemed more normal than usual, and he walked immediately to the wooden table. A scorching hot energy surged out from Xingyus hand and, under Long Haochens dumbfounded gaze, the food immediately sent out some hot and dense steam. Arge bowl,pletely filled with rice, seemed to look as if it was sparkling. There were also four veryrge portions of cooked dishes: two of meat and two of vegetables. Because his family had always beencking in money, Long Haochen had never eaten such a good meal. After seeing that, Long Haochens eyes seemed dazzled. Xingyu took out two pairs of chopsticks, Eat. When you are finished, you can rest for a little while. Long Haochen suddenly hurried to stand in front of Xingyu and suddenly knelt before him, letting out a Puff! sound. What are you doing?! Dont tell me that you dont know men have gold under their knees, how can they easily kneel down before others? Xingyu scolded him with fury. Long Haochen lowered his head, speaking haltingly: Teacher, I I What I I? After a little favor, you will kneel down before others like this? Dont tell me I am teaching a submissive bug? Xingyus voice became even stricter. Long Haochen nodded. Teacher, I want to make a request. Can I eat less every day, so that when I go home I can bring some food for Mother? Mother has also never eaten such good food before. Xingyus ferocity suddenly became dull. From his original anger, there was nothing left, and he now seemed somewhat sluggish. Because Long Haochen was still lowering his head, he didnt notice that, at that moment, the mysterious new teachers lips unexpectedly trembled slightly, with both of his eyes sparkling even more. Slowly standing up, Xingyu pushed the door and was about to leave, then sent his voice back, Stand up and eat. I promise you that as long as you seriously follow my practice and meet my requirements, I will have someone deliver a meal for your mother every day. Thank you, teacher! Long Haochen was overjoyed, as his teacher rotated his knees towards the door, which made some Ping! Ping! Ping! sounds before closing. Then he got up, about to start eating that attractive meal. Xingyu stood right behind the door, looking up to the sky. He was the only one who could hear these words he let out, Modesty, honesty,passion, courage, fairness, sacrifice, perseverance, humility, justice, just what does heck? Is he such an inborn knight? When he returned to the cabin, Long Haochen had already finished eating lunch, but each of the meals had half of it left, and a bowl of rice was put in front of Xingyus seat. As he saw hime back, he hurried to stand up and respectfully greeted him. The room behind the next door is yours, go there and rest. I will call you when its time. Yes. Long Haochen truly thought that Teacher Xingyu was a gift brought by the heavens to him, and went to rest in great delight. After a half hour, Xingyu called for Long Haochen. From the afternoon to the evening, you will practice. This is for you. Xingyu gave Long Haochen a pair of dark green bamboo swords. The bamboo swords were way lighter than any wooden swords Long Haochen had ever used before and the handles, although light, were quite tough. Xingyu dragged him by the arm, jumped once more towards the mountain peak and, after a little while, he and Long Haochen were some ce half-way up the mountain. Pointing at arge rock in front of them, Xingyu said, This is a natural owl-ant nest. Inside, there are thousands of owl-ants. Although these insects are not magical beasts, they are very aggressive, particrly to intruders. Dont forget to use these bamboo swords to protect yourself. With such a simple exnation, and without even waiting for Long Haochen to understand the matter, Xingyu kicked him towards the huge rock and Long Haochen cried in rm as he fell into a pitch-ck cave. Long Haochens bodynded on something soft and, although he fell from a height of five meters, he was still conscious. Therge rock that was used to block the entrance, until Xingyu moved it to push Long Haochen inside of the cave, was put back, and now Long Haochen could only see barely ten meters around him. Also, at that moment, with a buzzing sound, Long Haochen could tell that numerous creatures were flying towards him from every direction. At that moment, he understood what Teacher Xingyu meant and brandished the pair of bamboo swords in front of him. However, what he had learned at Odin Hall was only the most basic cuts, chops, and thrusting skills, and before him were uncountable owl-ants that were in a frenzy. In an instant, his body was bitten and stung by a lot of them. A violent pain was transmitted to his whole body, making the young Haochen utter some pitiful cries and the bamboo swords in his hands immediately scattered. This is one of the practice methods Ill instruct you in and also your first examination. If you are unable to withstand this, you can leave tomorrow. Xingyus voice spread to Long Haochens ears, making him panic and lose his firmness, but the severity of his bodys pain was even greater than the effect of these words. His clothes couldnt restrain the bites of the owl-ants any longer and the bamboo swords in his hands, that were waved in disorder, were clearly hitting arge number of bodies. I can withstand this. Long Haochen shouted. Thinking of his mother and of Xingyus words, his courage began to exceed his fear and he went all out and kept waving the bamboo swords in his hands, trying to drive away these owl-ants that were attacking him ceaselessly. The current you cannot see, but you have merely lost your sense of vision. You still have your sense of hearing, your sense of touch, and even your sense of taste. Use everything that can assist your abilities to feel your surroundings. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 9

Chapter 9: The Teacher who came from Hell? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Xingyus voice was conveyed to Haochen once more, but he just exined some simple sword techniques before he disappeared. The merely nine year-old Long Haochen had to stay alone in that pitch ck cave with those frenzied owl-ants and an intense pain that incessantly spread throughout his body. Because of the severe pain, his speed shot down multiple times. However, as he thought about his mother, courage surged up from within his heart. The owl-ants only brought him severe pain; so he clenched his teeth to suppress the pain and waved his bamboo swords over and over again. Xingyu stood outside of the hole. Feeling each minute that passed, his facial expression constantly changed. Not only once did he raise his hand with the intent to push the huge rock before him, but he resisted. If it was another kid from Odin Hall, he would have fainted soon after getting into that hole. However, Long Haochen was still conscious, constantly exerting himself to fight those owl-ants. They are not poisonous, but can easily bring violent pain to people. Their bodies, only one-third of a decimeter long,1 were not only extremely hard, but they also had an incredible attack power. The expression in Xingyus eyes was constantly changing. He really was training Long Haochen with extreme methods. So long as Long Haochen could bear that, his mental strength, which was very different from ordinary peoples, would be able to develop at the fastest speed possible. The training also had numerous other benefits. Primarily, it would forge in him an iron will. After half an hour, a whole half hour! Long Haochen felt like a century had passed here. His whole body was already numb because of the pain; he couldnt wave the swords in his hands anymore, and his weakened body sank into aa. At that moment, the stone covering the entrance of the cave was pushed aside and a great force was exerted on Long Haochens body, pulling it up as the uncountable owl-ants were repelled by a strange power, without any way to fly out to avoid it. That was all done by Xingyu. As he looked at Long Haochen, he took a deep breath. It could be seen in his gaze that he couldnt control his feelings anymore. At that moment, Long Haochen hadpletely worn out his whole body. His body was swelling from the stings, his beautiful little face couldnt be recognized at all, and traces of the impacts with the owl-ants bodies could be seen on the set of bamboo swords. Xingyu hurriedly made Long Haochen inhale a special red medicine and, after a sh, he carried Long Haochen back to the log cabin at an immeasurable speed. There was a total of three log cabins. Apart from the master and his apprentices log cabins, there was also another one Long Haochen had never gone into. At that moment, he was brought into that log cabin that by Xingyu. Upon entering the log cabin, a dense hot steam could be seening out. In the wooden cabins interior was a rock that had a pool dug out from it. To say it urately, the pool was here first, and the log cabin was built around it. The pool water was overflowing. The water inside the pool was brown colored, and had numerous medicines floating inside it. Xingyu quickly stripped off Long Haochens ripped clothes, then carefully ced his body inside the pool. Only the part around his nose was outside of the pool. The hot spring was, in fact, dug by Xingyu, but Long Haochen, who was still in aa, didnt know that. In the pools water, he soaked in these medicinal materials that had a value that even 10,000 bottles of Elemental Training Liquid could notpare with. After half an hour, Xingyu saw that the swollen parts on Long Haochens body were gradually disappearing. Afterwards, he left the log cabin. The sunlight was gradually disappearing, leaving room for the dim light of the night, before, unbeknownst to Haochen, it had already became dusk. It hurts. WaaaaC! Long Haochens shouted, waking up from hisa, while being soaked in the hot spring. His body moved, but naturally he could not keep his bnce. The water in the pool wasnt deep, but he drank some and suddenly spat it out. From the pool, a loud coughing sound could be heard. Where am I? Long Haochen ignorantly looked at the surrounding steam and the water around him. The intense pain he originally had was already gone and, except for the fact that his whole body waspletely cleaned and naked, he feltpletely natural. Opening the door, and holding clothes, Xingyu entered from outside. Wear these clothes ande out. After letting out a simple sentence, he left again. A bit confused, Long Haochen came out from the water and grabbed the towel that was next to him before putting the clean clothes on. Then, he thought back to the events that happened in the owl-ants nest. When he remembered the severe pain he felt at that moment, he couldnt help shivering intensely. At that time, he relied entirely on his courage to bear it, but after thinking back about it, he felt the severe pain of that moment once again. After he pushed the door open, he discovered that he was in the third log cabin and, upon entering the middle cabin, he discovered a rich meal arranged on the table. Come and eat. Xingyu, acting as if nothing had happened, pointed to the meal on the table and started to eat. Looking at his teacher, Long Haochen haltingly spoke, Teacher, I Come and eat first. Xingyu looked at him with a stern gaze. Long Haochen didnt dare to say anything else, hurriedly sat down, and started to eat as if he hadnt eaten anything for a long time. He was especially hungry tonight; his appetite was three timesrger than usual. After a little while, Long Haochen had eaten everything that was edible on the table except for the little portion Xingyu ate. Xingyu didnt let him tidy up the table yet. Instead, he calmly inquired, Tell me how you felt today. It was very painful. Long Haochen sincerely answered. Can you only do this much?! Xingyu coldly spoke. This was only the beginning. Come out with me and bring your bamboo swords with you. Okay. The master and his apprentice left the wooden cabin, arriving at the summit of the mountain. Two simr bamboo swords appeared in Xingyus hands, The sword is known as the king of weapons. It can attack as well as defend. If you want to defend others, you have to be able to defend yourself first. I am going to teach you close quarters tactics now. Watch carefully. As the bamboo des moved, they let out some afterimages. These sword rays that looked so unreal were shining on the summit of the mountain. The exnations that apanied these sword rays ceaselessly entered Long Haochens ears. Today, his hellish practice had just begun. As the days passed by, Xingyu instructed Long Haochen in various subjects including astronomy, geography, and history, on a daily basis. After a day of instruction, there would be an examination about the courses from the day before. To Long Haochen, that was the happiest moment of the day. In the afternoon, hell began. The owl-ants nest was a required daily course, with the final result being the same every time. That inhumane pain made Long Haochen almost want to die, but every time his heart thought of giving up, Xingyu would remind him that he would be able to go home after only a few days. Every time he was in the owl-ants nest, he trained until the moment he fainted, and once he woke up, he would find himself in the middle of the hot springs, with the pain already gone. After dinner, training started. Xingyu passed some skills to Long Haochen and let him do practical memorization to learn a few things. Only when the night was veryte would the training end. The most painful thing for Long Haochen was the fact that Xingyu didnt permit him to sleep. When it waste at night, while he waspletely exhausted, Xingyu would teach him a seated meditation method that Long Haochen called sleeping while sitting. And in the morning, Xingyus sword would, without a doubt, hit him to wake him up. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Teacher who came from Hell? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Just like that, seven days passed by. Long Haochen, who could only stay in the owl-antsir for half an hour in the beginning, could now stay inside for a quarter of an hour longer. After soaking in the hot spring, he would eat his dinner. Long Haochen, who was well behaved, would wait for Xingyus guidance. After a week of practice, he was not only respectful towards Xingyu, but was also sincerely afraid of him. No need to go on for tonight, go home. But the seated meditation mustnt be broken off. Come back here tomorrow, early in the morning. Xingyu threw a bottle of Training Elemental Liquid towards Long Haochens hands, hinting for him to leave. Long Haochen felt relieved after seeing Xingyus salute and flew out of the log cabin. I can finally go home! Looking at his figure leaving, Xingyu revealed a smile that Long Haochen didnt see. Stupid boy, did you forget where you are? Three years, I can only stay for a mere three years; during this time, I will teach you everything I can. The light feeling in Haochens body was truly excellent. Long Haochen ran down the mountain while feeling the changes in his body. After a mere week, he realized that his senses were way sharper than before. Although he had really been tormented in the owl-antsir, he had different sensations every time he went there. He could finally, after a week, feel each of the owl-ants attacksing from each direction. His reaction speed had also evolved incrediblypared to where he was the moment he first arrived. Although he hadnt tested it yet, Long Haochen was sure that the biggest change in his body was his spiritual energy, which had undoubtedly risen. It was at least two levels higher, and that was after only a mere week! Although he had to go through painful training every day, going as far as depriving himself from sleep, his originally thin and weak body clearly became somewhat stronger after the past week. His face also looked way ruddier.1 That was because, in addition to having healthy meals, he had soaked in the hot spring every day. Long Haochen didnt know that thebination of the hot spring and the medicinal material affected his body quite a bit. That was called a bone marrow forging bath. As he excitedly went down the mountain, a fishy smell suddenly caught his attention. The week he spent taking on crowds of owl-ant attacks wasnt wasted. Instantly, Long Haochen stopped his steps and jumped to the side. At the same time, he removed the bamboo swords from his back. With a Wizz! sound, a jet-ck shadow appeared on the path he was about to cross. At that time, although it was almost dusk, Long Haochen easily saw the surprise attacking. The creature was 1?2 meters high and had a pitch-ck body that was supported by four sturdy little limbs and had ceaselessly trembling scales on its back. A magical beast? Long Haochen couldnt help letting out a cry. He felt, at that moment, extremely nervous. Xingyu taught him a variety of subjects on a daily basis, and amongst them was included the presentation of the different kinds of magical beasts. Luckily, he studied the magical beast varieties like the one that was currently before his eyes a few days ago. It was a Scorpion-tailed Lizard, an elementary level magical beast. Its power was the same as a human with a vocation that uses spiritual energy between the 3rd and 5th rank. Magical beasts were divided into four levels: elementary level, intermediate level, high level, and peak level. The biggest difference between magical beasts and wild beasts is their ability to use spiritual energy power to enhance themselves, and to attack the enemy that only the former category has. Magical beasts of the first step are rather weak. They cannot use spiritual energy abilities to attack their enemies, but they can use them to strengthen themselves. The Scorpion-tailed Lizard is of that kind, a carnivorous magical beast. The scales on its back have great defensive abilities, its tail has a poisonous hook, and its weak point is on its stomach. However, because that beast attacks while crawling on the ground, its belly is rarely exposed. The Scorpion-tailed Lizard fiercely looked at Long Haochen, while its big mouth exposed its thick white teeth. It looked as if it was wondering how long it had been since it hadst eaten a human. Facing a magical beast for the first time, Long Haochen felt chills running down his back. His hands were both tightly gripping the bamboo swords, but he didnt act rashly; much less turn around to run away. To keep calm in such a situation was already quite hard for a nine year-old child, but he was behaving like that because he still remembered what Xingyu told him about the Scorpion-tailed Lizards sprint speed being quite fast. At the same time, he taught him to never show his back to the enemy. Wizz! The Scorpion-tailed Lizard didnt give too much thought and its four sturdy and strong limbs rushed straight towards Long Haochen, its teeth directed towards Long Haochens thighs. At that moment, the hellish training from thest seven days revealed its results. Almost instinctively reacting, Long Haochen took a step to the left and, at the same time, used the pair of bamboo swords to hit and cut towards the Scorpion-tailed Lizards head. The reason behind that side-step dodge was not to draw back, because Xingyu taught him that he couldnt easily draw back, unless he was sure to die if he didnt do so. Otherwise, he could easily be attacked from behind and lose without any possibility of fighting back. Dodging to the side was different, because he could dodge while, at the same time, keeping his enemy in his sights. Two Pu! sounds rang out. Although the bamboo sword was tough, it was also very light and its destructive power wasnt up to much, so it hit the Scorpion-tailed Lizard like some decayed leather. However, the current Long Haochen wasnt a newly assessed Knight Squire. His spiritual energy level, being close to 30, was enough to knock the Scorpion-tailed Lizard back on the ground. But the Scorpion-tailed Lizards attack didnt stop at that. As its body fell on the ground, the poisonous-hook on its tail swept towards him. Relying almostpletely on his reaction speed, Long Haochen leapt vertically. Raising himself in the air by one meter, the sword in his right hand blocked the attack that wasing from below him with a swing. After that simple exchange of blows, which resulted in Long Haochen stopping two of the Scorpion-tailed Lizards attacks, he discovered that that magical beast was surprisingly not so scary. At that time, the oppressed feelings of resentmenting from the depths of his heart for those seven atrocious days were mostly dispelled. Compared to seven days earlier, his current strength and reaction speed were higher. Without a doubt, he owed that to Teacher Xingyu. He had never made such fast improvements before he met him. Although the experiences in the owl-ants nest were nightmares to him, he had no choice but to admit that they had a truly great effect. The Scorpion-tailed Lizard didnt give up so easily, though. After its failed attack, it rushed at Long Haochen once more and, this time, it looked as if its body had somewhat expanded. Because Long Haochen was a bit distracted by that sudden attack right after the first round, his reaction became slightly slower; but he still managed to use the bamboo swords to chop towards its body to block it. However, the Scorpion-tailed Lizard didnt fall onto the ground this time. Not good, this is his Body-Strengthening skill! Long Haochen was startled, his bamboo swords were repelled and, at the same time, his body lost some of its bnce and was falling backwards. The Scorpion-tailed Lizards big mouth was right before his eyes. Long Haochen felt the danger he was in and his pupils quickly shrank. It seemed as if something exploded inside of his head. At that moment, he suddenly felt as if the Scorpion-tailed Lizards movements became slower. As he was falling on his back, he could very clearly see each of its movements. If someone could see Long Haochens current pupils, they would discover that the pupils in the middle of his blue-eyes had contracted to the size of a needle and that he was, surprisingly, in an extremely calm state; the hardness that appeared in ordinary peoples eyes didnt appear in his. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 11

Chapter 11: The Teacher who came from Hell? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales As he was inserting the sword he held in his right hand directly into the ground, exerting his backs strength, the sword in his left hand thrust forward with full force. During that instant, Long Haochen felt that his spiritual energy broke into a new boundary. The sword ruthlessly hit the lower part of the Scorpion-tailed Lizards jaw, and, although it was in its strengthened state, that attack made it fly backwards and caused its ferocious mouth to close. At the same time, Long Haochens whole body jumped on a curved path with the support of the bamboo sword in his right hand that was pushed into the ground, and his left leg kicked the Scorpion-tailed Lizards lower jaw upwards. With two strikes in a row, both chained together extremely well, the Scorpion-tailed Lizards body was unable to keep its bnce and lifted up from the ground because of the kick. Meanwhile, Long Haochen, who still had the support of the bamboo sword he had pushed into the ground, let go of the sword in his right hand, which enabled him to jump back to the ground. The bamboo sword in his left hand took the form of thin white lightning striking upwards. With a Bang! sound, the upper part of his body rose towards the Scorpion-tailed Lizard and its belly was prated by the bamboo sword, simultaneously causing its body to fall down. After a sad, shrill, miserable, yell, the Scorpion-tailed Lizards tail swept around as ast intent of struggling before its death. However, Long Haochen had already expected that possibility and, using his sword smoothly, he directly countered thatst attack. He jumped aside before pulling the sword that was stuck in the ground out with his right hand, and entered into a defensive posture. Ping! The Scorpion-tailed Lizard fell on the ground, its body violently squirmed and repeatedly cried out miserably because of the pain from its belly. Long Haochen looked calmly around him and didnt discover any other magical beasts in the area. Then, he found arge tree to lean on. His breathing had be quite heavy. In a split instant, his whole body became drenched with sweat. His physical power seemed to bepletely depleted. Since the instant he vanquished the Scorpion-tailed Lizard, only a few seconds had actually passed. During that moment, at the edge of death, it could be said that histent potential had beenpletely stirred up. Before he broke through that new level, all of his abilities were used to their utmost limits. His final attack used the only skill that Xingyu had taught him: Pure-White Edge. By momentarily concentrating all of his spiritual energy at a single point of his sword, he was able to attack with 110% of his full-power. Before Long Haochen linked these moves, a certain person, hidden in the dark, was watching him without making a single noise. Even if Long Haochen had lost consciousness at the end of the exchange of blows, that man could easily get rid of that kind of magical beast. But, in the end, Long Haochen didnt make a single mistake. With the two swords he carried, he got rid of the Scorpion-tailed Lizard. Meanwhile, his spiritual force also broke through the 30th level, entering into the 3rd rank of the 1st step of knighthood. That was the reason why Long Haochen had felt that sudden rise in strength at that moment. In any vocation, as the rank grew, the feeling of a breakthrough would be more obvious. After panting a few more times, Long Haochen noticed that the sky had already begun turning pitch-ck, and felt that his energy had returned while the Scorpion-tailed Lizard was lying on the ground, motionless. Looking at the dead Scorpion-tailed Lizard, the 9-year-old Long Haochens eyes revealed a glow. Teacher, you were right. It is after enduring hardships that one can be a great man. I should not bear resentment towards you. If not for your teachings, Im afraid I would have be unable to meet Mother again. Teacher, I wont everin again, even secretly in my heart. As he said those words, Long Haochen turned towards the summit of the mountain, bowing with respect, and passed, with great care, the Scorpion-tailed Lizards body. Generally speaking, the most elementary magical beast had a lot more value than any wild beast. Even that kind of low-level magical beast was worth at least one gold coin. Long Haochen was not willing to waste that opportunity. He looked around carefully for a stone, and used it to deprive the Scorpion-tailed Lizard of its hooked tail and used two vines to tie it, with the intent to bring it home. He didnt meet any more danger on the road. He went straight to Odin Town, ran towards a shop, and exined that he wanted to sell the corpse of the magical beast that his teacher had in. After he got a gold coin and two silver coins, he finally went home. It looked as though Bai Yue knew beforehand that her son woulde home that day. When Long Haochen passed the entrance, he saw the richest dinner he had ever seen at home. His teacher had abided by his promise and brought tasty food to his mother. Looking at that, the young Haochen couldnt help feeling even more grateful towards Xingyu. Mother, I give this to you. Long Haochen handed Bai Yue all the money he had as a gift. Bai Yue was bbergasted, Where did you get this money from? Because he didnt want his mother to worry, Long Haochen told her a lie out of goodwill. Teacher gave me this money to give to you. He said that upon bing a Knight Squire, I could also receive a sry. This is my first years remuneration, but if my improvements are fast, I will, perhaps, have some more rewards like this. Unexpectedly, Bai Yue didnt persist in asking. She smiled, took the money, and said: Haochen, you must listen to your teachers words, understood? Yeah. Long Haochen repeatedly nodded. Bai Yue pursued, Is practice hard? Before he killed the Scorpion-tailed Lizard, Long Haochen would surely have replied differently to that question. After all, the fear of the owl-ants nest was held strongly in his heart. But, at that moment, he shook his head and replied without the slightest hesitation, Mother, it is not hard at all. Teacher teaches me well, gives me good food to eat every day, and lets me soak in a hot spring. Hearing these words, Bai Yues face looked relieved. She stroked her sons head, Hurry up. Go eat some food. After having eaten dinner, Long Haochen didnt forget to use the Elementary Training Liquid to boil a wild herb soup for her before going back to his room to sleep. He was very pleased with himself. On the morning of the next day, he returned to Odin Mountains road. He didnt meet any magical beasts on the road, so he quickly headed back to the summit of the mountain. Teacher, Im back. Long Haochen excitedly entered the log cabin. Xingyu looked like had been waiting at the same ce for a long time and lightly said, Before we continue with todays course, I will give you an examination to see if you forgot what you have studied up to now. Tell me about Knight Squires, Standard Knights, as well as the requirements to grow in rank as a knight. Long Haochen answered without the slightest hesitation. Knight Squires are graded between the 1st and the 10th rank. After breaking through the 100th spiritual energy level, they can be promoted to Standard Knights. Standard Knights are graded the same way: they gain one rank every 10 spiritual energy levels and upon breaking through the 200th level, one can take the Genuine Knight examination. The knight examination does not only require spiritual energy, it also requires one to have the ten standards of a knight. After bing a Genuine Knight, one can be promoted from the 1st rank after 10 spiritual energy levels as well; only upon surpassing the 210th spiritual energy level will someone be a 2nd rank Genuine Knight, and, after that, each of the eight other ranks are promoted every 30 spiritual energy levels. At thest rank, one can reach the 4th step of the vocation after umting 50 more spiritual energy levels and surpassing the 500th spiritual level. Xingyu carried on with his examination: Why are the spiritual energy requirements to promote to each rank different after bing a Genuine Knight? Long Haochen answered: Because it is only after entering the 1st step of knighthood that one can be said to be a full-fledged knight, so each rank is merely an adaptation. You also taught me that regardless of the step, the 3rd step, the 4th step, the 5th step or afterwards, the ranks between the 1st and the 2nd are always the easiest to pass. Xingyu pursued with a bunch of other questions, whichsted for half an hour, before finishing that examination. Long Haochen answered all of these questionscorrectlywithout making the slightest little mistake, because of his astonishing memory. Good, you remembered everything quite clearly, we can now begin todays course. But beforehand, I have to ask you, do you think that, for a knight, the most important thing is to attack? Or is it to defend? *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 12

Chapter 12: The Teacher who came from Hell? (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales After listening to Xingyus question, Long Haochen couldnt help but be somewhat shocked, and, after thinking deeply for a short while, he shook his head with a face of ignorance. Xingyus face revealed a rare smile. You are quite honest. You dont try to give a casual answer just to satisfy me. Not to mention you, even the Knight Temple cannot easily answer this question. Precisely because of this question, regarding Genuine Knights, there are two branches of knights differentiated by the Knight Temple: the Retribution Knights, and the Guardian Knights. Retribution Knights focus on attack. They wield dual weapons and fight with thebination of their mounts and their offensive arts. Their fighting capabilities are very high and their strength in the battlefield surpasses the strength of soldiers and assassins of the same rank. Guardian Knights give priority to defense. They wield a weapon in one hand, a shield in the other, and are the core of teams. They are proficient with assisting and recovery arts. Their fighting capabilities are perhaps weaker than a Retribution Knights, but in coborations, the Guardian Knights utility is way higher than a Retribution Knights. At that point, Xingyu stopped for a moment. Still looking at Long Haochen, he asked, Do you believe that there are more Retribution Knights, or that there are more Guardian Knights? Long Haochen thought, then said: There should be more Retribution Knights. You just said that the Retribution Knights offensive power was better. Xingyu shook his head. It is the opposite, the Knight Temple has a Guardian Knight ratio of 10:1,pared to Retribution Knights. Oh? Such a difference? But why? Long Haochen asked, puzzled. Xingyu answered, Because we belong to the Temple Alliance. As the head of the six great Temples of the Temple Alliance, the Knight Temple mustnt consider only our own individualbat capabilities. We have to consider our partners as well. The reason why it is called the Temple Alliance is that it is only once people belonging to these six vocations fight together that they can have the greatest fighting efficiency. But, as the teams core, the knight does not only have to consider his own attack and defense, but the protection of his allies, as well. Thus, there are way more Guardian Knights than Retribution Knights. Long Haochen understood some of his words, Then, Teacher, in the future should I be a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight? Xingyu lightly answered, You are the only one who can make the suitable choice. In this aspect, I cannot help you. Seeing your disposition, it would probably be more suitable for you to choose to be a Guardian Knight, but I am, personally, a Retribution Knight. The vast majority of what I can pass on to you are abilities and skills used by Retribution Knights. Teacher, I Dont be impatient to answer. Xingyu instantly interrupted Long Haochen, You have a year to think deeply over this. A yearter, you will tell me your answer. Yes. One yearter, in Haoyue City. Walking on a wide street of Haoyue City, Long Haochens eyes looked curious and surprised. What a big city! The street was at least sixteen meters wide, with shops that stood on both sides of the street. There was an incessant stream of horses and it was extremely noisy. That citys burst of people couldnt possibly bepared with Odin Towns. It was as the difference between heaven and earth. In the southern part of the Temple Alliance, Haoyue was a medium-sized city. But that was the first time Long Haochen, who lived his childhood in Odin, got to see a city of that scale. Long Haochen was full of curiosity towards Haoyue City, and the people on the road seemed just as curious about him. He was dressed in simple clothing, but his face was simr to a porcin dolls. Today, after one year, Long Haochens face did not look unhealthy anymore and he had also grown up a lot. Although he still looked like a kid, his appearance merely looked slender. The most surprising thing was that such a beautiful youth carried on his back two intersecting long swords. They were clearly two swords with refined-iron handles with a length of one meter, a width of a decimeter, and a thickness of more than 3 centimeters. Although they didnt look like edged swords, they didnt look light at all! They looked like a miniature version of a knights heavy sword.1 Could such a small kid possibly use that kind of heavy sword? These people didnt know at all that, if not for the sake of keeping a low profile, Long Haochen would not have any problem carrying two Genuine Knight heavy swords and would easily use them. A year of bitter practice caused incredible changes within him, as if he had been reborn. On the eighty-third day in the owl-ants nest, he could finally rely on the bamboo swords topletely block the owl-ants attacks that came from all directions. However, he still had to practice in the owl-ants nest, but he swapped the weapons he brought with him. From the lightest bamboo sword, to a wooden sword, then an iron sword, a refined-iron sword, and finally a heavy sword. He had to adapt to pairs of swords of all kinds of weights. After he adapted to the knights heavy sword, he had to return from the heavy sword to the refined-iron sword for one more month, then to the iron sword, the wooden sword, and finally the bamboo sword, aplishing a fullp. After he aplished all of that, a full-year had already passed. This time, he went to Haoyue City because Xingyu gave him two assignments as an evaluation of the years bitter training. Upon entering the city, Long Haochen asked a few people where the Knight Temple of Haoyue City could be found. After passing through a few wide streets, arriving close to the center of Haoyue City, he identified his destination because of the symbol consisting of a shield and sword. The Knight Hall of Haoyue couldnt bepared to Odin Hall at all. From outside, it looked at least five stories tall and big buildings were erected there, upying a very wide area. At the entrance stood two young knights in armor. When Long Haochen arrived at the entrance of the Knight Temple, a young knight, who was smiling as he stood there, asked him, Little friend, who are you looking for? Having no choice but to answer, Long Haochen, who had an appearance of a pretty boy, advanced. Hello, brothers. I am looking for the Hall Master, Nn Shu, Long Haochen politely spoke to the two knights. Youre looking for the Hall Master? The two youths looked at him, and asked, Why do you need to meet him? Long Haochen said, My teacher told me to look for the Hall Master Nn Shu, and then to deliver a letter to him. Then, hand the letter to me, said the young knight on the left. Long Haochen shook his head. Teacher said that I had to hand it to Hall Master Nn Shu personally. The young knight awkwardly retorted, I am afraid that I cant let you do that. This is Haoyue Citys Knight Temple Hall, only people from the Temple, like us, can enter. Long Haochen, showing some anxiety, said, But I am also from the Knight Temple! Ie from Odin Hall. The young knight said, That still wont do, little brother, it is like this. As a kid from one of those halls, you can only enter for the examination that happens every three years. Give the letter to me; I will help you to pass it. Then, if the Hall Master is willing to meet you, you will be able to enter. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, Xingyu warned him several times that that letter had to be personally delivered to Nn Shu. At that moment, a pleasant voice echoed, What are you doing? Why are you embarrassing a little child? That voice came from someone in the Hall. That person was a lightly-dressed teenage girl, her neatlybed pink-dyed hair formed a ponytail and her beautifulrge blue eyes looked attentively at Long Haochen. She looked to be eighteen or neen years old. Her body moved gracefully, and behind her shoulders were exposed, on each side, a handle of a sword. Senior knight! In fact, both youths had just be knights recently, so they respectfully saluted her. The young girl arrived in front of Long Haochen, curiously looking at his face, then said to the two young knights, I heard everything you said, but you should know that there is no general rule without an exception. Plus, this little brother is also from one of the sub-temples of our Knight Temple. I will take him to meet Uncle Nn.

Chapter 13: Standard Knight Examination (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Very well. The two young knights didnt dare refute her at all, they only answered her respectfully. The teenage girl extended her right hand towards Long Haochen: Little brother, I am Li Xin. Lets go! Ill take you to see Uncle Nn. Long Haochen rejoiced greatly and took her hand. Thank you, Elder Sister, I am Long Haochen. Li Xins tender palms grip was strong, her skin was clearly somewhat rough, obviously because of her sword training. However, Long Haochens hand gave her a different feeling. For someone of his age, Long Haochens hand was quite smooth and, to Li Xin, it felt soft andfortable to hold. Upon entering Haoyue Hall, Long Haochen immediately felt a quaint atmosphere. The ground was covered by grey tes and a total of twelve thick pirs were supporting the entire Hall. In front of them, there were six huge stone chairs; each one was 3? meters high and each of them had numerous decorative patterns drawn on them that Long Haochen had never seen before. Long Haochen pointed at the six stone chairs as he asked, full of curiosity, Elder Sister, what is that? Li Xins look became solemn, This is the symbol of our Knight Temples supreme glory, the Divine Thrones. Only a Divine Knight can possess one of them. Little brother, do you know about Divine Knights? It is the highest rank that we, knights, can attain: the ninth step of the vocation. All of our senior Divine Knights are legendary. It is said that they faced, by themselves, the seventy-two legendary demon gods in battle. It was the first time Long Haochen had heard about the title of Divine Knight. Xingyu never told him anything regarding Divine Knights. Big sister, how formidable are Divine Knights? Why are they called Divine Knights? Li Xin replied, Thats because they possess a divine throne. Only after one is approved by the throne can one be a Divine Knight! You cant consider them as mere chairs, each of them is a genuine artifact left by the gods. My goal is to one day be a Divine Knight! Long Haochen, who seemed unconvinced, said, But there are only six of these divine thrones, what if there arent enough? Li Xin chuckled, Silly boy, how can it be so easy? What do you think Divine Knights are? How can I exin to you that we, the Knight Temple, have at present only three Divine Knights. To turn into a Divine Knight truly is incredibly difficult. As she was speaking, Li Xin had already brought Long Haochen to the second floor. The face of Haoyue Hall was very high, but, in reality, it was because every floor was very tall, so there were only three auxiliary floors. Both of them went to a spacious room on the second floor and Li Xin said: This is Uncle Nns room, but it is still early. He hasnt arrived at the hall yet. He should arrive quickly, though. After she said that, Li Xin lowered her voice and her face approached Long Haochens ear: Long Haochen, should I call you, Little Brother? or Little Sister? Eh? Long Haochen was a little frightened by that sudden act and gave her a perplexed look. Li Xin grinned: You can stop pretending. I originally ran away from home, cross-dressing with male attire, toe to the Knight Temple, or else they wouldnt have easily epted a girl like me. You are the same as Elder Sister, right? How can a boy possibly look as beautiful as you? Plus, after a few years, once your body starts to develop, especially here like Elder Sisters, you will not be able to conceal yourself anymore. As she spoke, she pulled Long Haochens hand to her chest. Although she wore a soft armor, a soft feeling still entered Haochens hand. He originally wanted to refute her words, but couldnt say anything at that moment. His face became incredibly flushed. As far as he remembered, he hadnt even been so intimate with his mother! Even if he didnt understand the meaning of a man groping a woman, he subconsciously let out his bashful feelings and his shy face looked as if it was bleeding at that moment. Yah, such timidity! Little Sister, you are really lovely. Rest assured, I will properly look after you in the future, in this Haoyue Hall. As she said that, Li Xinughed while holding Long Haochens little face between her fingers. Long Haochen reacted, Elder Sister, I am really a boy, not a little sister At that moment, his hand was still being pushed against Li Xins chest, his brain waspletely heating up and his voice became really low. Eh? Li Xin understood all of a sudden, You are really a boy? Long Haochen desperately nodded. Moving his hand away, he looked like a little child who made a mistake, and took a few steps back. Li Xin looked a little vexed: But how can your hand be so soft? And how can you look so beautiful? Did I really misunderstand? Argh! I got groped! Little Brother, tell me, how will youpensate me? She wanted to leave the Hall back then, but at that moment, she saw Long Haochen at the entrance. After a single look, she was reminded of the scene of herself arriving for the first time at the Temple Hall, and she had a good first impression of Long Haochen, who tried to enter. But, at that moment, she realized her own mistake of taking the initiative to hold that little boys hand. Wasnt that an excessively indecent act? In her heart, Li Xin was depressed. Luckily that little boy in front of her looked only about ten years old. I-I really dont know. Long Haochen said frankly, but, in his heart he thought, It was you who pulled my hand to make me grope you, I didnt really want to grope you! Li Xins face was white and red and after having spent a long time thinking, she said helplessly: Okay, Ill let you go, little guy. But you have to keep this a secret! You cant let other people know. In the future, I will be your Elder Sister; an Elder Sister who had let her little brother hold her is no big deal. To be able to run away from home to choose to be a knight, that girls disposition wasnt weak. She quickly found ame excuse to deal with that twisted situation. Xiner,1 what are you doing here? at that moment, a growling voice resounded. Long Haochen and Li Xin turned around at the same time and found a huge giant entering the Hall. No mistake, he was really a huge giant. His body was at least two meters tall, but more exactly, he was 266cm tall, a 2? meters tall strong-man. Even in a solid building such as Haoyue Hall, the ground could be felt shaking under his weight. Uncle Nn, you should really lose some weight; otherwise, you will hardly leave the first floor. If you dont, Im afraid of the day when Haoyue Hall will copse from the inside. Li Xin snappily said. That strong-man was Haoyue Hall Master, Nn Shu. Nn Shu, who just heard her words, didnt get angry. Heughed out and simply said, Even by only drinking I will gain weight, what can I do? Yi, are you the one who brought this little girl? Shes your family rtive? I am a boy! To be misunderstood as a girl by Li Xin was still okay, even if she made him grope her, but upon hearing that fatty uncle speak like that, Long Haochen, who was depressed and discontent towards him, immediately protested. Um? Nn Shu seemed distracted, while Li Xin refrained fromughing upon seeing Long Haochens behaviour and told Nn his goal. What kind of letter is it? Show it to me. Nn Shu directed his hand towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen took a deep breath and calmed down his depressed heart, then he ced the letter in Nn Shus hand. Upon opening the letter, Nn Shu looked pleased, but, after a little look, hisplexionpletely changed. His tall body stood straight; and when he finished reading the letter, he wore an extremely serious look. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Standard Knight Examination (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Li Xin was standing off to the side, full of curiosity. Nn Shu wasnt just Haoyue Halls master, but also a genuine Earth Knight, the 5th step of the vocation. In the Temple Alliance, people that could match him were not plentiful. If a simple letter could make him so reverent, there ought to be an exnation. While she thought about that, Nn Shu, who had already read the letter, nodded towards Long Haochen, and said, Come with me. As he said that, he headed outside. Long Haochen followed Nn Shu to the third floor, apanied by Li Xin, who was full of curiosity. Haoyue Halls first floor was the main reception. The second floor was the one where all kinds of affairs were handled, and the third floor was known as the ce where examinations took ce. All the knights who belonged to Haoyue Hall lived in a dwelling ce in the area behind the Hall. The third floor had a dome at the top of the hall of the first building. As he entered, Long Haochen felt a kind of discouraging atmosphere. The third floor was an extremely broad hall that was approximately five meters high, and was without any decorations. On the surrounding walls, there were some symbols and lines, forming a faint brilliant array. Nn Shu, who continued to advance, arrived at that examination hall before he stopped. A soft blue light was sent out from his right hand and, from the ground surface, a stone pir had immediately risen up. It was pitch-ck, and the nature of its material was hard to identify. Nn Shu faced Long Haochen and said, Do you know for what purpose your teacher told you toe here? Long Haochen shook his head. Teacher said that you would tell me. Nn Shu nodded: Senior Xingyu wanted you to undergo the Standard Knight Examination. Lets start now. Hit this ck stone with your full force, from whichever side you want. Hearing the words Standard Knight Examination, Li Xin, who was off to the side, thought she had misheard him. How old was Long Haochen? Eleven or twelve years old, at most? She, herself, was called Haoyue Halls greatest genius, and it was when she was thirteen years old that she passed the Standard Knight Examination. Nn Shu didnt seem like he was joking, and hearing his tone, she realized something. Could Long Haochens teacher be even above Hall Master Nn? Could he be a 6th step Radiant Knight? Heavens! Radiant Knights could be called the elites of the Temple Alliance! Why would he have his disciple go to Haoyue Hall to undergo the examination? As Li Xin had her heart filled with uncertainty, Long Haochen had already gotten himself prepared. Long Haochen removed one of his refined-iron swords, shing a ck color, from its sheath. The moment he gripped that sword, his temperament suddenly seemed to have undergone an incredible change. From that originally shy-looking child, a stern atmosphere suddenly appeared. His gaze became firm and inflexible as his whole body gave a feeling close to a steady rock and was sending out a powerful intent. Where had his characteristics of a ten-year-old child gone? A step forward, and a cut: this attack consisted of the two most basic movements for a knight. A *Ping!* sound echoed, the refined-iron sword ruthlessly hit the ck stone block. With a *Buzz!* sound, a gentle shining blue mist wasing from the surrounding walls of the Hall and on the ck block of stone, a number appeared. 107 A spiritual energy of the 107th level! Nn Shu and Li Xin both, at that instant, couldnt help opening their eyes wide. A spiritual energy level of 100 meant the 2nd step of the vocation. So even though the 107th spiritual energy level only corresponded to the 1st rank of the 2nd step, it was still the 2nd step! However, it shouldnt be forgotten that Long Haochen had not used any skill to improve his bodys capabilities. It was only a pure cut! It wasnt just them, Long Haochen was also shocked. My spiritual energy has already reached the 107th level? Thest time he was in Odin hall, his spiritual energy was only at the 25th level. It was the first time he had tested it since then, but he didnt imagine that there would be such a result. A Standard Knight I have, unexpectedly, already be a Standard Knight! An excited feeling ran through his whole body. In that instant, Long Haochen felt that all of his efforts over the past year had just gotten rewarded. Xingyu enabled a little child to grow, within a single year, from the 25th spiritual energy level to over the 100th level, breaking through to the 2nd step of the vocation. Even though it couldnt be spoken of as a unique case in Shengmo Dalu, it could nheless be described as a miracle! Long Haochen made undeniably great efforts by himself, but it was also because of the assassin from the Assassin Temple, and that Xingyu allowed him to soak in the hot springs, that brought incredible benefits to his body channels. Without soaking in the hot springs, how could Long Haochen possibly continue such a strict training regime? A singlea would have been enough to force him to rest for a long time! In a single year, his bodys foundations had already be solid. Nn Shus look gradually recovered. The gaze with which he looked at Long Haochen underwent an incredible change, as if he was seeing a rare treasure. His plump face revealed a somewhat ttering expression. Your name is Long Haochen, right? How old are you this year?1 Long Haochen answered without even thinking, Ten years old. Nn Shu and Li Xin took a deep breath once more. A 10-year-old Standard Knight? The word genius couldnt even be used to describe him, it should be called a talent thats even greater than genius! Hall Master Nn, I passed the examination, right? asked Long Haochen. Nn Shu replied, It looks like it. ording to the procedure, you only need a spiritual energy level of 100 to pass to the 2nd step, but your teacher said, in the letter, that you ought to challenge a Genuine Knight2 in battle, and stand this knights attacks for fifteen minutes or else it wont be considered passing the examination. In regards to that demand, Nn Shu believed that that condition was too harsh. Even a 5th rank Genuine Knight may not be capable of withstanding a Genuine Knights attacks for a quarter of an hour, let alone a youth like Long Haochen, who had just entered the Standard Knight step. Okay, then please assign someone to this task. Long Haochen said that as he unsheathed his second refined-iron sword. Ill do it, Ill do it! Li Xin didnt show the least bit of hesitation as she advanced. Her charming eyes, small and pretty, couldnt hide her overflowing curiosity. A ten-year-old Standard Knight, what kind of concept was that? She absolutely had to test that little knights fighting capabilities. Nn Shu gave a look to Li Xin and nodded his head. Take care! Li Xin smiled. Rest easy Uncle Nn, I am not willing to injure him, he has just be my little brother, after all. As she said that, Li Xin also took out the two swords from her back. Compared to Long Haochens, her pair of swords looked more magnificent. On each swords body, a golden brightness was sent out. Each swords length was just over 1.06 meters long,3 and a strong sacred atmosphere was issued by the engraved symbol. Li Xin, holding her two swords, looked at Long Haochen. She was secretly surprised because, as he gripped his weapons, his temperament clearly changed from his past appearance of a shy youth. His current appearance looked rather fierce and, unexpectedly, the pressure he sent out faintly affected her. Nn Shu moved back a few steps, and said in a low voice, Start! By acting as the referee, he had confidence that he wouldnt let them injure each other. Elder Sister, take care. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Standard Knight Examination (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Elder Sister, be careful. When Long Haochen warned her, his foot had already moved. The distance crossed by each of his steps wasnt much, but his pace was high. What he just executed was a knights short distance charge. Both of his swords, the first in front of Long Haochen and the second one behind his back, almost arrived in front of Li Xin in a sh. A fast and strong thrust went straight towards Li Xins left shoulder, filled with the power of the sheer momentum concentrated in the charge. Li Xin showed a smile as she quickly raised the sword in her left hand, blocking Long Haochens attack. She then calmly attacked with her other sword. She wanted to see if that little guy could be harmed by an attack of that level. Bang! Without any sign, Long Haochens right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, causing him to cancel its previous motion, forcefully ending his all-out charge, and making his body float for a moment. Meanwhile, the thrust out refined-iron sword was quickly retrieved along with the motion, just in time to counter Li Xins provocation. Nn Shus eyes shined. Skill interruption? Long Haochen took back into his hand the refined-iron sword at this moment. The edge of his sword momentarily shined and, right afterwards, with at least twice his prior speed, a light shined on the edge, aiming for Li Xins left shoulder once again. Pure-White Edge, Thorny Charge. He was using two knight abilities and, practically perfectly, mixed them together, which created an opening in Li Xins offense. The knight skill called Thorny Charge was able to raise the speed of the attack and, at the same time, gather spiritual energy. Coordinated with the second ability that condenses the spiritual energy, Pure-White Edge, that hits power had already greatly outstripped Long Haochens 107th spiritual energy level. However, Li Xin was not a Standard Knight, she was a Genuine Knight, and the instant the sword moved, she was already prepared to guard against it, with her right hands sword arriving in front of her body in that critical situation. No matter how much Long Haochen enhanced his attack, it couldnt be enough to pierce her defenses. Ding! When the two swords met each other, Long Haochens thrust hit near the top of the de. The power of the thrust wasnt reallyckingpared to a cross cut; however, because of the superiority of Li Xins spiritual energypared to Long Haochens, she blocked the attack but couldnt help drawing two steps back. Pa! The sword in Long Haochens right hand was repelled, but his movements were not stopped so easily. The sword in his right hand was raised at the same time he took a step forward, unexpectedly continuing his assault. A second charge, and at such a close-distance! But it was repelled, even though that attack was the second one in a row. Long Haochens tough right hand was swept in from the side. The second charge only consisted of three steps, but during those three steps, his body seemed very stable. Then, his foot rotated, shifting his body into a swift whirl. The sword in his left hand was raised, and the thin, shining white light of Pure-White Edges severe chop was directed straight towards Li Xin. Li Xins eyes were filled surprise, but she showed her inborn talents of a genius knight at that moment. Her right foot was directed towards the back, her body taking a stable posture. Then, bending forward with a sword in each hand, she stabbed ahead letting out a sort of lightning which took the shape of ten sword shadows aimed at the front of Long Haochens body. Lightning Thrust, a 3rd step knights skill. A defense and counter-attacking move. But the next scenepletely dumbfounded Nn Shu, who was standing to the side. A sound rang out and Long Haochens full-force attacking sword immediately collided against Li Xins sword. Although there was a difference of almost 100 levels between Long Haochens and Li Xins spiritual energy, that attack of his was supported by skills and managed to draw force from the momentum. As both swords met, the result was surprising: No one had the advantage. However, Li Xin was the one who was slightly repelled. Suddenly, Li Xin used Lightning Cut, which quickly headed towards Long Haochen. At that moment, Nn Shu thought about interrupting the fight and Li Xin was already preparing to stop her hand. But Long Haochens right hand, that was just repelled by the attack, suddenly moved. A sort of illusion was emitted by the sword, sting the area in front of his body and with a loud noise: Lightning Cut waspletely blocked. Because she was afraid of harming Long Haochen, Li Xin didnt go all out and her attack was not only warded off, but also countered at that moment. Wielding both swords, one horizontally and one vertically, was a sign of the knight skill Instant st Cross Cut. There was already nothing left of Li Xins previously amused look. After she had released her Lightning Cut, she had no power left. Additionally, because she didnt expect Long Haochen to be able to block her previous attack, she didnt prepare any response to that counterattack. A thin golden light started shining from Li Xins body. Her right hand was ced on the ground and a golden ray suddenly burst out, rising to two meters in height. With two Dang! sounds, Long Haochens Instant st Cross Cut was stopped by ayer of golden light and bounced back. At that moment, he also drew back a few steps, taking a defensive posture. The energy consumption of the previous session of attacks wasnt small. Li Xin shot a serious look toward Long Haochen, who just drew back. Little guy, youpelled Elder Sister to use the Heavenly Battle Array to deal with your attack. Be careful, now Elder Sister is going to attack. Heavenly Battle Array, a 3rd step Retribution Knight skill that draws support from the holy light of the knight and takes the shape of ayer of light, with an effect thats simr to an all-out defense formed of spiritual energy. With her foot pushing on the ground, Li Xin jumped as the sword in her right hand chopped straight towards Long Haochen. She was truly somewhat depressed at that moment because to defend against his attack, she was forced to act shamelessly by using the Heavenly Battle Array against Long Haochen. Her face was starting to look hectic. The important matter was to reim the face she just lost. This time, Long Haochen didnt strike back. He lifted his right hand, and, in a split second, he seemed like a venerable sculpture. Even though it was only for a little moment, it made Nn Shu widen his eyes. With a neat Dang! sound, Li Xin was shocked and was moved back, stupefied. Her spiritual energy was at least twice Long Haochens. Not only that, she had jumped into the air. So even if she was showing mercy, her attack force would still be considerable. To Li Xin, Long Haochen should be the one to draw back; however, she was the one who was forced back. Her right hand, which still held the sword, waspletely paralyzed. I cant attack, how is that possible!? Li Xin fell to her knees with a depressed look. It could be seen on her face that she didnt understand Long Haochens current defensive posture. Seeing that Li Xin stopped, Long Haochen sheathed his own pair of swords. Feeling embarrassed while seeing Li Xins depressed look, he didnt know what he ought to do at that moment. Uncle Nn, please tell me, what is all of that about? Long Haochen is only a 1st rank Standard Knight, so how is it possible? How was he be able to repel me? As she said that, Li Xin saw the expression on Nn Shus shocked face. This time, he was the one who looked like a sculpture, standing there while showing a stupefied appearance. Uncle Nn, what is up with you? Li Xin asked with an expression full of doubts. Divine Obstruction? Xiao Haochen, quickly tell me, was what you just used the Divine Obstruction? Nn Shu made a few steps before arriving in front of Long Haochen, his eyes full of impatience and showing a shaken expression. Li Xins heroic face was immediately struck dumb with amazement, Uncle Nn, arent you mistaken? That was a Radiant Knights Divine Obstruction? Thats impossible, absolutely impossible! Arent Radiant knights the only ones able to use Divine Obstruction? Radiant Knight, the 6th step of the vocation. Divine Obstruction was a skill that was their trademark and also the skill known to cause the most changes to a knights body. *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Standard Knight Examination (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales TL Note: On thest chapter, Li Xin said she couldnt attack (because of the Divine Obstruction), but it could also be understood as I cannot harm him/pierce his defense at all. The way she said it was ambiguous. Well interpret this yourselves in this chapter. Long Hao Chen replied showing a somewhat confused look: I dont know what [Divine Obstruction] is, Teacher only told me that this was an obstruction skill. Nn Shu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and muttered: No mistake, it is without a doubt [Divine Obstruction]. Xin Er (kid Xin), I did not see [Divine Obstruction] only once. Whether they are Retribution Knights or Guardian Knights, once at the level of a Radiant Knight, they will all practice this skill. If it wasnt for the [Divine Obstruction], Hao Chen couldnt possibly have kept off that earlier attack of yours. No wonder, no wonder senior Xing Yu would let him challenge a knight to battle. With the [Divine Obstruction], withstanding a knights attacks for a quarter of an hour is not impossible. The threshold to the [Divine Obstruction] is, without a doubt, the grade of Radiant Knight, but this is merely our Knight Temples threshold, it is not the threshold for the study of the ability. Provided one has the inborn talent, enough ability, and the necessary reaction speed, a sixth step knight can pass any ability onto him, but this premise needs the authorization of our Temple Knight to be done. There was formerly a great knight who because of his great merits, got the authorization to break this rule and be able to pass them on. Nn Shu is an Earth Knight so he knows much more than Li Xin in regard to the skill [Divine Obstruction], but because of that, he became even more shaken. The [Divine Obstruction] is a skill that can be easily described. It enables one to momentarily transform his defense entirely. Simply said, it causes ones defense to be like an iron rock so that only attacks that exceed the defensive power of the skill can break through it. However, if the attacks use weapons of the same volume and hardness as an iron rock, when attacking, it cannot possibly break this defense. [Divine Obstruction] is like the process of the transformation of an ore of iron into a bar of iron. It is easily exined, but extremely hard to do because it takes a lot of talent. Though, if [Divine Obstruction] is trained to a certain level, it can use at least a part of the power of the opponents attack to be its own force and use it for attack as well as defense. Practiced to its utmost potential, [Divine Obstruction]s defensive power is worthy of being called divine. To possibly break [Divine Obstruction]s defense, one must have at least three times the spiritual force of the user of [Divine Obstruction]. Nn Master, can we consider that I have passed the examination? Long Hao Chen didnt know what startled these two people before him, and simply asked. Naturally, you passed. Wait a little, I have to look for the thing senior Xing Yu wanted you to bring back. Nn Shu turned around and left, but he didnt show signs of having calmed down yet. Li Xin looked at Long Hao Chen as if he was some kind of monster, Little brother, tell me, what was this skill that you used to repel my [Lightning Stab]? Long Hao Chen shook his head and answered: No no! I only used pure physical force. You broke my [Lightning Stab] with only your physical power? Li Xin couldnt help raising her voice. She naturally didnt know that Long Hao Chens attack had been enhanced a lot. Over thest year, the torment in the owl-ants crypt didnt go to waste. In addition to that, he soaked in the hot spring and had his spiritual energys twelve standards enhanced, its impurities dispelled. That year of practice equaled at least three years of practice for an ordinary person. After a short time, Nn Shu came back, handing two things over to Long Hao Chen, a circr badge with a sword and a shield engraved on it and a golden yellow gem the size of an egg. This is your insignia of a Standard Knight. On it, there is a star that symbolizes the fact you are first ranked. Once there are all the stars, will you be able to once more take an examination. This awakening stone is something Senior Xing Yu told you to bring back. You must keep it well. Thank you. after receiving these two items, Long Hao Chen respectfully saluted Nn Shu. Nn Shu asked: Should I have Xin Er apany you out of Hao Yue Hall? Long Hao Chen shaked his head, answering: No. Teacher gave me another task to aplish. I should hurry up. Nn Shu didnt insist and asked Li Xin to send him directly to the entrance. Xin Er elder sister, how can I go to the adventurers guild? Long Hao Chen asked Li Xin right before leaving. Li Xin replied: The adventurers guild isnt far from here. Look, go to the front and then turn at the right. After about a kilometer, there will be an intersection where you should finally turn left. Thank you, Xin Er elder sister, I am d to have met you. I have to go first. Nn Shu hall master, goodbye. After bidding farewell to both of them, Long Hao Chen took the route shown by Li Xin. Looking at his leaving figure, Li Xin cant help asking Nn Shu: Uncle Nn, from where does this little guye from?! It is impossible to find another such outstanding talent of his age in our Knight Temple. And how could he learn the [Divine Obstruction]? What kind of person is his teacher? Nn Shu let out a sigh, shaking his head, and replied: I cannot tell you that yet. All you need to know is that towards the fact that he already learnt the [Divine Obstruction] is in ordance with the rules of our Temple. In the near future, I expect that it is unthinkable that our Hao Yue Hall stays unknown. Xin Er, did you see, you are not the only genius in this world! You have to practice seriously or otherwise, you will fail the Alliances hunting beast selection in four years. Li Xin quietly nodded, I wonder when Ill see this beautiful little brother again. Nn Shu revealed a smile: There is something I can tell you; in two years, he wille back. He will at least stay for the duration of the magical hunt of the Alliance. Long Hao Chen moved ording to the direction given by Li Xin and quickly found the ce of his second task, the adventurers guild. Compared to this ce, the Knight Temple of Hao Chen was rather calm: the surroundings of the adventurers guild were in a total mess. Numerous people came in and out of this ce and people dressed in every kind of outfit could be seen. His eyes shone, he had already found the ce he was looking for. Not far from the left side, on a counter, was where assignments were taken. By chance, there was someone at the counter. Long Hao Chen advanced towards it and looked at a woman in her twenties: Elder sister, I want to receive a task. Ah? The young woman at the counter saw someone who was only a head taller than the counter. She couldnt help but be distracted by Long Hao Chens pretty face. Haa, our adventurers guild really epts anyone! Even this little thing ran looking for an assignment, it is really hrious. A severe voice resounded near them. Long Hao Chen turned his head around, only to see a strong statured, full beard manughing as he looked at him with a face full of disdain Long Hao Chen wrinkled, not understanding what is up with him, and asked once more to the young woman: Elder sister, I want to receive a task. The youth behind the counter looked full of curiosity, Little brother, what kind of task would you like to receive? Without letting Long Hao Chen have the time to speak, the loud voice already rang for a second time, What little brother, she is clearly a little sister. Little sister, how about this uncle buys some excellent lollipops for you, haha This straightforward mans speech caused a stream ofughter in his surroundings. I want to receive a second step assignment. The best would be one that consists of killing magical beasts. Long Hao Chen wrinkled even more, but the girls answer wasnt very satisfying. She answered, with a little awkward tone: Little brother, Im afraid that it is impossible. Second step assignments require you to be at the second step in a vocation to be received. Then, quickly go back home to suck the breast of your mother. Or is it that you dont know if she still has milk to give you. If she still has some, what about letting me drink two sips of it? Looking at your pretty appearance, I guess your mother should be not bad. If you could also have an elder sister, it would be even greater. It was the same voice. Hearing it again, Long Hao Chens expression suddenly became cold. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 17

Chapter 17: The Knights Sacred Mountain (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The girl behind the counter hurried to tell him in a low voice: Little brother, make haste to go please. This isnt the kind of ce where you shoulde. Ignore them, these adventurers are blood thirsty people, they often disy that they are up to no good. But they shouldnt do anything bad to you, we are in the guild after all. After she said this, the girl suddenly discovered that the youth in front of her had a clear firm gaze. You shouldnt insult my mother. As he said this, Long took something out from his bosom to hand to the girl and left her. The ten years-old Long Hao Chens height wasnt even at this brawny man Luo Sai Hus stomachs height, but his steps were very steady. Huu, huu, huu, quickly take a look everyone, this little fledgling is still angry. Tch tch, look at these pretty cheeks! This delicate tearful face. Even if shes a little chick now, after being sent to the brothel, shell just be a first ss girl there. In Luo Sai Hus hands were a pair of edged battle axes that he struck the floor with, giving a yful look to Long Hao Chen, his body leaning on one of the axes. Long Hao Chen moved and arrived 3.3 meter (1 Zhang) in front of Luo Sai Hu. His face was tranquil, and his back was perfectly straight. He clenched his left hand into a fist, cing it on the right side of his chest, performing a knights salute. The next instant, he took out a white glove and threw it at the other party, meanwhile taking out the pair of swords from his back, the tips of the swords pointed downwards. Saying in a little voice: If you dare insult my mother, I, Long Hao Chen, challenge you ording to the Knight Alliances rules by throwing my glove down. This is a fight to death. Long Hao Chens voice was clear. The nearby people could all hear it clearly, and at this moment, the guild members who had exploded inughter a while before had calmed down. Luo Sai Hu also became stupefied. However, Luo Sai Hu quickly came back to his senses: Haha, Im dying fromughter. Look quickly, everyone! This little bastard can say a lot and also learned the challenge of a knight, and is also a Standard Knight. Did your breasts hair already grow ? I ept your challenge! Come! Come to snap at me! Hahahaha. Long Hao Chen lifted his right hands sword, coldly facing the exit, Please. It is the first time he came to the adventurers guild, but he knows they cannot fight inside, even if it was an official knights challenge to battle. As he had said this word, he already left first. The axe-wielding warrior Luo Sai Hu also came outside without hesitation, and a group of excited people followed. The girl behind the counter was left alone; she was staring nkly at the badge in her hand. First ranked Standard Knight, could it be that he really is a Standard Knight? Leaving the adventurers guild, the exposure to the warm sunlight doesnt solve the dejection in Long Hao Chens in his heart. At this moment, Xing Yus teachings resound in his heart. You dont need to say anything to your foe. Use the sword in you hand and your foes blood to wash your shame. Luo Sai Hu also left, carrying on his shoulders the pair of edged battle axes, raising his finger towards Long Hao Chen, Come! Little bastard, this grandpa is gonna teach you a lesson. After this grandpa has beaten you, he will not kill you, but rather sell you to a brothel, earning some Gold Coins With the sound of the roars ofughter ringing out, Long Hao Chen moved. Charging, his hurried steps resounded and in a slight moment, Long Hao Chen elevated his speed to its utmost point and people from either side could tell with a nce that the refined-iron swords in both his hands showed a white glow. [Pure White Edge] was actually regrly used by low-level knights belonging to the Knight Alliance. Instantly, the intense sound ofughter stopped and Long Hao Chen already arrived in front of his opponent. Upon seeing Long Hao Chens charge, Luo Sai Hu was a little frightened. He also knew about [Pure White Edge]. Hisplexion temporarily changed. How could he have known that this little child was really someone from the Knight Temple? To offend the head of the Six Great Temples, the Knight Temple, how could an ordinary adventurer dare to do that ? No matter what, he had to get rid of this little kid first and afterwards, in the worst case, he would just immediately run. Thinking about that, Luo Sai Hus felt a great hatred. His hand swung the pair of edged axes, using his [Heavy Chop] against Long Hao Chen who wasing. Regarding his vocation, he was a second step, third rank warrior. His spiritual energy was at the 120th level. His full-powered strikes used the damage potential of his wooden weapons to the maximum. However, Long Hao Chen had encountered magical beasts almost every time he came back home, so he wasnt a novice in fighting. The result was that at this moment, he kept his calm as usual. He stomped his right foot on the ground before using the skill that had the effect of breaking off his charge, as he did when he was facing Li Xin. However, he linked it up with another skill this time. Holding both swords, in the instant before the pair of axes was going to fall down, hepleted a [Divine Obstruction]. It required incredible uracy to be done! Without his mental capacity, which was so different from ordinary peoples, Long Hao Chen couldnt possibly aplish the linking of these skills. A huge sparkling sound rang and the pair of edged axes crossed with the pair of enhanced swords during their ruthless chop. A lot of people couldnt help but shut their eyes. The contrast between Long Hao Chens body and Luo Sai Hus was, after all, too big. From a lot of peoples point of view, he should have chosen to parry the attack because he had no other choice. How much Spiritual Energy could such a young boy have? In addition, Luo Sai Hus [Heavy Chop] was simr to [Pure White Edge] in the fact that it also increased the power of the attack, but was a skill for heavy weapon users. However, the reinforced-iron sword in Long Hao Chens hand didnt snap. To Luo Sai Hus surprise, with a snapping sound, the pair of edged war axes fell and his chest was wide open. Long Hao Chens [Divine Obstruction] couldnt be broken by a third step knight, Li Xin, so how could this second step warrior possibly break it? It seemed that a faint light had appeared on Long Hao Chens body as the ovepping swords in his hands took advantage of this moment tounch an [Instant st Cross Cut]. With two _Puff_ sounds, the pair of iron swords cut through the top of Luo Sai Hus leather armor and the sound of bones shattering behind the leather armor could be heard. Luo Sai Hus eyes widened as blood flowed thick and fast out of his body Long Hao Chens [Divine Obstruction] wasnt at a profound level. The proof was how he couldnt make use of Li Xins spiritual energy against her, but this Luo Sai Hus force was only slightly superior to his, just at the right level at which Long Hao Chens [Divine Obstruction] could borrow 20 levels of spiritual energy. In addition to the boost of [Pure White Edge], Long Hao Chens attack exceeded, by 100 levels, his actual spiritual energy. This attacks power greatly outstripped Luo Sai Hus strength. How could the ordinary leather armor that covered his body withstand such an attack? Third brother! Two voices cried in rm. Two big fellows came out from the the middle of the crowd, they were clearly partners of Luo Sai Hu. Being an adventurer was a dangerous job so, people generally formed a team. However, it was already toote when they came out. _Puff_ C, after the [Instant st Cross Cut] wounded the opponent, Long Hao Chen didnt show the least hesitation and linked it with a stab and the iron sword sharply prated into Luo Sai Hus throat like a lightning bolt. Asshole! The two robust men ran straight towards Long Hao Chen. Stop. A cold voice rang and golden rays of light followed, rising from Long Hao Chens back, stopping the two adventurers froming. Li Xin coldly stood there with her two swords hanging on the side of her body; thin golden spiritual energy threads emanated from both sides of her body, clearly showing her strength as a third step knight. Ah, it is the Hell Rose The crowd suddenly cried in rm. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 18

Chapter 18: The Knights Sacred Mountain (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales If you want to court death, I dont mind helping you join the one who just passed away. Li Xins cold voice was full of murderous intent. The two robust men were also warriors; the first one held a greatsword and the second one a sword and shield. Looking at Li Xin, they showed uncertain faces. They knew that they couldnt intervene: Long Hao Chen had just killed Luo Sai Hu in a duel, so even the defense of the city did not have the right to interfere. The warrior that held a greatsword shouted in anger: My third brother merely joked a little, but this little kid killed him. Is this your knights kindness? The first of these warriors was a third step, second rank war master and the second was a second step, eighth rank warrior. Although, together, they didnt fear Li Xin, they couldnt disregard the Knight Alliance backing Li Xin. Li Xin said, full of disdain, Are you blind? My brother is a Retribution Knight, not a Guardian Knight. The Retribution Knights norm is to get rid of their enemy, and knowing my little brothers temperament, if not for yourpanion speaking horribly to him, how could he have possibly lowered himself to kill him? If you are not convinced, thene at the same time. As she was speaking, the pair of long swords in both of Li Xins hands ran through a series of strange paths, thin golden energy gushing out from her body. Lulu. With an extended sound, this strange light took the form of a tall and robust horse with a pair of wingsing out from its back. This winged horse was of an extremely rare pink color, its body was 2.66 meters (8 chi) long and 2 meters (6 Chi) tall. The wingsing out from its back were not really wide, it looked as if it didnt enable it to fly. At some ce atop of its head, something stuck out. Its eyes were rose colored and a strong smell came out from its body. Both rose colored eyes gave a dignified feeling. Li Xin mounted on the horses back and looked at the two knights with eyes full of contempt and disdain. Li Xins nickname, the Hell Rose, came from this horse, a young fully rose colored unicorn. Even if it was not fully grown yet, it was still a real fifth step magical beast. Against it, a third or even a fourth step warrior wasnt a worthy opponent. To begin with, even humans of the same step werent a match for magical beasts. Shes a knight from the Knight Alliance? eximed the man holding a shield. Both exchanged looks and didnt say anything else, fleeing while carrying theirpanions corpse. A lot of nearby adventurersmented in a low voice, These guys are, for sure, outsiders for not knowing the greatest genius of Hao Yue Hall, the Hell Rose. Serves them right. But shes still Elder sister. Long Hao Chen was standing by Li Xins side all this time, but after having killed someone, his face still didnt show the slightest change. Li Xin descended from the Rose Unicorn, smilingly saying: Little idiot, why did youe to the adventurers guild in the first ce? She had previously asked someone from the guild about Long Hao Chen because she wasnt at ease letting him go alone to such a snake nest-like ce, so she followed after him and came at just the right time to see the previous scene. Long Hao Chen answered: Teacher wanted me to ept a second step mission. Li Xin answered, somewhat speechless: This teacher of yours must really trust you. Lets go, Iming along with you. Entering once more into the adventurers guild, the look the adventurers gave Long Hao Chen changed. Not to mention about the powerful sister by his side, the disy he showed by killing, in a few seconds, that axe-wielding warrior showed that his strength was, without a doubt, a Standard Knights. They didnt know about [Divine Obstruction], but looking at Long Hao Chens age, they guessed the Knight Alliance ought to protect such a treasure. They didnt dare act rashly anymore. Knight, Senior Knight, I have to give you back your badge. The girl who was behind the counter advanced hurriedly as soon as she saw theme back, respectfully giving back to Long Hao Chen his badge. After she took a look at this badge, she immediately ran out and saw the whole fight from afar. The current gaze she gave Long Hao Chen was full of curiosity. Now that he had taken care of the matter, Long Hao Chen chose a mission that was north of the city of Hao Yue that consisted of killing ten second step magical beasts. Little brother, let mee with you or else I wont be at ease. Although there arent high step ranked magical beasts around Hao Yue, there are still third step ones and sometimes even fourth step ones can appear. Plus, you will be able to go faster if Ie along. I cant, elder sister. Teacher wanted me to aplish this mission alone. What is the problem? You will be aplishing it alone! You will be killing magical beasts while I will only be in charge of making sure that you are not caught off-guard by others. Now that its decided, lets go. As she spoke, Li Xin pulled Long Hao Chen out of the adventurers guild and immediately left the city on the Rose Unicorn. Long Hao Chen was very excited as this was the first time he was riding a mount. The rose mounts back was very smooth and Li Xin was right behind him. He could smell a thin scent of rose, but didnt know whether it came out from elder sister or the Rose Unicorn. They both left quickly. Long Hao Chen was surprised that as they were leaving the city, not only did Li Xin not stop at all, but in addition, she was saluted by the guards at the entrance. Leaving the city of Hao Yue, the Rose Unicorn elerated even further, shaking Long Hao Chen who discovered a red radianceing out from the Rose Unicorns body that clearly was raising the temperature nearby and increasing its speed. However, he didnt feel any pressure from the wind because of the protection of the red barrier. The Rose Unicorns wings often stretched, bing more steady; the travel speed was as fast as a flying engines. So fast! Elder Sister, your mount is awesome. How can I possess such a mount?! Long Hao Chen was, after all, still a kid; how could he not be excited by this kind of new sensation? Li Xin smiled: If you answer one question, I will tell you. Long Hao Chen said: Please ask, elder sister. Li Xin: Was it the first time you killed someone? If it was, how arent you disturbed at all after that? I have never forgotten the pain of the first time I killed someone; I threw up for three days and three nights! Long Hao Chen scratched his head, saying: I havent killed anyone else before, but I have killed magical beasts. Teacher said that killing foes was just like killing magical beasts, I cannot show the slightest mercy and as long as they arent dead, I cannot rx. Since he is like a magical beast, why should I feel ufortable? I have killed many magical beasts. And after I delivered thest blow, I didnt take a single look at his appearance. Actually, he didnt know himself that because of the bitter training in the owl-ants crypt, his fear of this kind of situation was now nonexistent. Li Xian couldnt help but react: I really dont know if he has an extremely pure heart or is cold blooded. But it is as his teacher said, evil must bepletely eradicated. Long Hao Chen was truly eager to have a mount as good as this Rose Unicorn and anxiously asked: How did you acquire this Rose Unicorn?! Li Xin answered: Dont be in a hurry. In fact, even if I didnt tell you, you would still know in the future. Because, like me, you will need to go to the Knights Sacred Mountain to choose a suitable magical beast. What kind of ce is this Knights Sacred Mountain? In our Temple Alliance, the vast majority of knights have to select a mount or to tame a magical beast to serve them as a mount. But there is an exception; it is regarding exceptionally gifted young knights. Those who pass the Genuine Knight examination before hitting twenty years and thus be third step, first rank knights have the qualifications to enter the Knights Sacred Mountain. You are a ten years-old Standard Knight, so you should have no problem bing a Genuine Knight before hitting twenty years-old. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Knights Sacred Mountain (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Knights Sacred Mountain is a ce where our Knight Temple raises various kinds of magical beasts. In the Knights Sacred Mountain, there is a peculiarity discovered by our ancestor from the Alliance three thousand years ago. That ce is very good for the growth of magical beasts and will reduce their wild nature. Taming them bes really easy. A young knight just needs to be approved by one of them and then he can take it away, making it his mount. It is also one of the best privileges our Knight Temple has, just like the enchanted equipment that a young genius mage from the Mage Temple can receive. But you should know that among those in our Knight Alliances top ranks, all of them visited the Knights Sacred Mountain. Long Hao Chens dark blue eyes immediately lit up, What if all of the magical beasts from the Knights Sacred Mountain are tamed? Li Xin couldnt helpugh: How can it be so easy?! In our entire Knight Temple, if there are a few tens of Knights below 20 years old in the same year, it is already not bad, and sometimes, there are not even ten knights. Also, at the Knights Sacred Mountain, there is a great summoning array that seems to be able to connect to a particr ce from which a magical beast will be summoned from after a time interval. Thus, you dont have to worry about the Knights Sacred Mountain having a shortage of magical beasts. That said, on the mountain, there are even ninth step magical beasts. If one can get a ninth rank magical beast, it can be considered equivalent to having reached at least the seventh step of the vocation. Long Hao Chen asked: Elder Sister, at which step is your Rose Unicorn? Li Xin proudly answered: My Rose is, at the moment, a fifth step magical beast, but it isnt mature yet. After it has grown up, it can attain the seventh step at the least, with power equivalent to someone with a sixth step vocation . Your elder sister will also be at least a sixth step Radiant Knight, so you should double your efforts too haha. Yeah, then Ill double my efforts with my first goal set to bing qualified to visit the Sacred Mountain. The mission was easy toplete. With the protection of a Genuine Knight who had already visited the Mountain: it wasnt a difficult task at all for a second step knight who could use [Divine Obstruction] to kill ten magical beasts. After only half a day, the task was aplished. He got 25 gold coins and his first entry ofpleted mission on his adventurer certificate. Sometimes, a new meeting was truly a wonderful thing. That was how Li Xin felt: she really liked her new little brother; not only did she help him with his mission, she also apanied him to the Town of Odin located more than 100 kilometers (200 Li) apart from Hao Yue City and they were both very reluctant to part. It would soon be night and, looking at the red-colored sunset at the horizon, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but show a triumphant smile: Teacher gave me two days toplete a mission, but I only needed one. Lets go back home to see Mother, and then Ill go back to the summit of the mountain tomorrow morning to surprise Teacher. Thinking about it, he jubntly headed home, but at the same time, his head is filled with envy, reminiscing about the beautiful reddish silhouette of the Rose Unicorn. How fantastic would it be if he could, in the future, have a magical beast as his mount! Long Hao Chen clearly knew that it would have been impossible for him to pass the examination if Li Xin had ridden her Unicorn. Filled with this sentiment of admiration, he quickly saw his cottage. To give a good surprise to his mother, he gently and stealthily opened the entrance door. But after a single step inside, he became dumbstruck. His pair of blue eyes instantly became dull and his whole body couldnt help trembling. Because of his mental strength that is different from ordinary peoples, Long Hao Chen had, generally, a calmer attitude than people of the same age. But at this moment, he couldnt control himself at all. In from of him was the most unimaginable scene he could ever dream of. Bai Yue was in the courtyard, but was seated on a mansp. This man was the one who had a ce second only to his mothers in his heart; the one who enabled him to be, within a single year, a Standard Knight. Teacher Xing Yu. You, you Long Hao Chen stood there,pletely speechless; his mind waspletely nk at this moment. Chen Chen. Bai Yue tried to stand up from Xing Yusp, but he suddenly held her in his arms and a thin light appeared, making her seemingly unable to move and even to speak. Xing Yu stood up, moving Bai Yue on the side, and gave a cold look to Long Hao Chen. Why? Why are you bullying my mother? Long Hao Chen stood there, shouting hysterically. Right after, he took out his pair of refined-iron swords. His eyes had be very red. Xing Yus wrist slightly moved and used a mysterious trick. In his right hand appeared a bamboo sword. With his left hand ced behind his body and his swords tip turned towards the ground, he faintly said: Come. There was nothing left of the excited mood Long Hao Chen had been in; instead, despair, agony, hate, and all sorts of negative feelings were rising in him. Aah!!! Long Hao Chen let out a cry, charging towards Xing Yu. This time, he didnt use any skills, just swinging his both swords, going all out against Xing Yu. He didnt know Xing Yus actual strength nor his speed at all; in fact, it was impossible for him to match his teacher. _However, Teacher bullied Mother_ and because he discovered that there was this kind of matter between the two people who had the biggest ces in his heart, there wasnt an ounce of reason left in him. _Bang_ With a little swipe from the bamboo sword in Xing Yus hand, it was as if Long Hao Chen was crushed by a mountain; he was sent flying backwards, falling in the courtyard. What did I teach to you? Regardless of what kind of foe you are facing, even if it is me, you have to remain calm. said Xing Yu faintly. At this moment, Long Hao Chen still listened to his lesson: his body crawled and rolled on the ground; his heart was filled with hate and he felt betrayed; all the blood in his whole body seemed to be burning. He charged once more without the least bit of hesitation. [Pure White Edge], [Thorny Charge]. Using an enhanced charge, heunched his most powerful attack. However, it waspletely useless. Xing Yu used spiritual energy at the same level as Long Hao Chens. He had a mere bamboo sword in his hand, and it was a very thin one, but it hit at the weakest spots on Long Hao Chens sword that was swung at full power. The bamboo sword collided and the shock reached both of Long Hao Chens hands. His iron swords fell on the ground, letting out two _Puff_ sounds. Long Hao Chen also fell back, his bottom sitting on the ground. Argh C It didnt stop at that. Long Hao Chen, still in pain, even without weapons, charged like a mad tiger once more towards Xing Yu. Xing Yus brow wrinkled, the bamboo sword thrust forward straight towards Long Hao Chens stomach. However, Long Hao Chen didnt even try to avoid it and directly jumped towards the sharp point of the sword. Xing Yu had a fright; although it was only a bamboo sword, it was still sharp. Without anything protecting Long Hao Chens body, even if he wasnt killed, he would still be greatly wounded. Thus, he subconsciously stopped the bamboo sword and let Long Hao Chen dash against his body. Without hesitation, Long Hao Chen bit Xing Yus arm. At Xing Yus level, it would have been easy to get rid of him, but he didnt move. Letting Long Hao Chens teeth ruthlessly sink into his arm, his only reaction was the one of wincing slightly. , 1. I am sure I didnt mistrante. But isnt it contradictory, then, will you ask? Because magical beast are supposed to be stronger then humans at the same step. Well two suppositions: -either magical beast that can qualify to be a mountpanion are (sometimes) weaker; seems legit because to be tamed, it is logical that the beast shouldnt be too ferocious. -or higher step vocations be stronger than magical beasts of the same step. 2.

Chapter 20: Knights Sacred Mountain (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Affected by Xing Yus scent that gave him an intimate feeling, Long Hao Chen started crying, he couldnt control his tears that suddenly started to drip. Then, he let his mouth loose. Looking at the ce on Xing Yus armpit where he bit, it was bleeding and had a bite mark. He shouted with a hoarse voice: WHY? WHY DONT YOU KILL ME? Because I am your father. With that simple sentence, Long Hao Chens face that was full of anger suddenly calmed down, he stood there motionless, his eyes looking straight at Xing Yu. What, what did you say you were? Long Hao Chen showed an ashen face that was gradually being filled with disbelief. Long Xing Yu sighed and took a step forward, pulling him into his bosom and tightly hugging him, I am, I am your father, the father you had never met before. Xing Yu is my name, you have your surname from me, we both are from the same Long family. After he said these words, his hand released a white light, untying the restriction on Bai Yues body. Bai Yue quickly rushed at them, pulling Long Hao Chen from Long Xin Yus bosom, ring at him, Are you mad? You just frightened me to death. Long Xing Yuughed: I just wanted to test Hao Chens ability to keep his calm during fights in all circumstances, but from what I saw, you are his biggest weak spot. Mother, he, is he really? Only at this moment did Long Hao Chen react, all his negative emotions turned into shock, and he gave his mother a bbergasted look. Bai Yue gently nodded, I am sorry, Chen Chen. Mother didnt tell you until now, but a year ago, your father found us. He hoped that you could be a knight as formidable as him and thus we hid from you the fact that he came back. Long Xing Yu acquiesced and nodded, It seems that no matter how much one ns things out, life always intervenes. I was afraid that after you knew that I am your father, you wouldnt put in anymore effort, and that I wouldnt be able to discipline you. Long Hao Chen gave his mother a lifeless look. The words his father just said were the most unexpected things he had heard in his life. For as long as he could remember, he only had his mother by his side. Bai Yue gently caressed her sons head, unable to stop her tears, Sorry, Chen Chen. In the past, you mother didnt say anything to you regarding this matter. Ten years ago, a very painful thing happened to your mother and she didnt know at all how to face your father, so she had to leave her native ce ande here. At that moment, I discovered that I was already pregnant with you. Dont me your father, everything is my fault. He had to painstakingly look for us for nine years. If you have to hate someone, hate me. The expression Long Xing Yus eyes showed to this mother and son wasplex as he gently said: Yue, this is already over. All the pain has already left us. Dont think about these painful memories anymore, okay? Bai Yue nodded, she was sobbing: Last year I promised you that for your sake, for Hao Chens sake, Id free myself from those unbearable memories. I will devote my future life only to the both of you. During these years, Hao Chen must have suffered a lot because of me. Honestly, I dont really want him to be a knight like you, I just want him to live safely. Long Xing Yu frown, showing once more aplex expression in his eyes, unconsciously clenching his fists, seemingly in an intense internal struggle. Long Hao Chen gradually came back to his senses and took a look at his mother, then at his father, his eyes revealing a fiery look. No, Mother, I want to be a knight. To be a formidable knight. Long Xing Yu was stunned. He was previously really wavering, wondering whether what he was doing was right. He was well aware that for both Bai Yue and Long Hao Chens sake, a peaceful life would be, by far, the best choice possible. Xing Yu showed a wry smile: Will you recognize an irresponsible father like me? No, you are not responsible at all. Its my fault, everything is my fault. Bai Yues tears, which had just stopped, immediately resumed flowing. Father! Breaking free from his mothers embrace, Long Hao Chen fiercely threw himself on Long Xing Yus bosom. At this moment, he only felt true happiness. He was a mere child, a ten years old child. Although he never said it to Bai Yue, every time he saw those little kids and their fathers together in Odin Town, how could he not feel envious? But now, his father was back. They had been separated for so many years, but his father was even more formidable than those other kids: he was a formidable knight. In Long Hao Chens heart, all the past anger turned into joy. Hearing this shout, Long Xing Yu didnt disy his excitement. He just stood there, expressionless, before using his firm arms to gently hold his wife and his child in his embrace. However, neither Bai Yue nor Long Hao Chen noticed this: the current him looked as restrained as before. After having rushed for a day, and experiencing both sadness and joy upon arriving home, Long Hao Chen went to bed early. It was the first time in a year that he didnt spend the night seated, but in a deep sleep. Long Xing Yu hugged Bai Yue by their sons side, Yue. Bai Yue gently nodded, shutting both her eyes, You dont need to say more. Chen Chen is like you, he cannot simply live a quiet and peaceful life. You were both born like this, with a need to cause big issues. He has already made his choice, thus I can only support him. I have one sole wish, it is for him to live well. Regardless of what you will teach him, the most important matter will be to protect him, okay? Un, I promise you. Long Xing Yu slowly nodded, gently caressing Bai Yues long hair. On the next morning, Long Xing Yu brought both Bai Yue and Long Hao Chen to the mountain peak. Since he had already been exposed, he didnt have anything left to hide. Bai Yue went to tidy up Long Hao Chens room while Long Xing Yu called his son in front of him. Hao Chen, you still chose to continue to follow my practice despite knowing the rtionship between us. For this reason, I will be only stricter than in the past. You have onest opportunity to change your mind. Long Hao Chen replied without hesitation: Father, I understand that you are only strict for my sake. This time, I experienced a lot of things when I went to the City of Hao Yue. Father, I have to ask, are you even higher ranked than a Radiant Knight? Long Xing Yu took a step back, standing still for a moment and looking unsure, then lowered his head in front of Long Hao Chen. Wa, so cool. Long Hao Chen excitedly hop, Father, I will, in the future, be a knight as great as you. Long Xing Yu smiled: How do you know that your father is a great knight? Long Hao Chen stubbornly said: It must be so. Long Xing Yu added: I see. You will learn how great fathers prowess is in the future. But if you want to be a great knight, you cannot ck off. From today onwards, you wont need to go to the owl-ants crypt anymore. The type of practice that you will have to do is going to changepletely. I wont need to go? Even though he went for a year nonstop, it was still a very dark ce. Long Hao Chen was still somewhat afraid of this ce Long Xing Yu nodded: In the past year, the main goals of the practice were to enhance your reaction speed, your mental capacity, and improve your body as well. Soaking every day in the hot spring filled with medicine was also done with the same motive. Now that your spiritual energy level is above hundred, we can start to train your inner spiritual energy. Inner spiritual energy? Long Hao Chen gave his father an uncertain look. During the past year, everything Long Xing Yu taught him was regarding history, skills used by knights, and various knowledge, but he never mentioned the matter of internal spiritual energy. , 1.Chinese idiom 㲻 , are thements of the part 1 *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Sacred Awakening, Scion of Light (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Xing Yu said: Two kinds of spiritual energy exist: the external and the internal. External spiritual energy is used to cause changes to the body and to enhance it. Simply said, it is generated in the body with physical practice and enables the power and the toughness of your body to be enhanced, attaining a new level. But since it is the bodys power, it has its limits. This limit is the 200th spiritual energy level. Like I have already taught you, the division between the second and the third step is the watershed moment in any vocation. The majority are unable to break through the second step throughout all their life, not even speaking about entering the third one. For knights like us, it is impossible to train inner spiritual power, just like for mages it is impossible to change the mastery element. Your current external spiritual energy still has room for progress, but if we were to wait until you reach the 200th spiritual energy level by external practice, it would just be a waste of effort. I had you sit in a meditative posture for a year to get your internal energy ready for this moment. You have to know that along with the growth of his inner spiritual energy, the strength of ones body will also grow. When ones spiritual energy is higher,pleting skills will require him to use his inner spiritual energy together with his external spiritual energy. Give me the awakening stone you brought from Hao Yue Hall. Long Xing Yu extended his hand towards Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen handed the yellow rock to his father. Long Xing Yu told him: For the next two years, I will make you cultivate your inner spiritual energy and, at the same time, practice to get your external spiritual energy to the peak level and you will have to study the secrets of spiritual stoves as well. Right now, I have to make you first aplish the most solemn ceremony for us, knights, the Sacred Awakening. Long Hao Chen listened carefully. On this early morning, he was very clear-headed because he had slept earlier the day before. He pledged that he wouldnt let his father down, and that he would train even more seriously than before, for the sake of this father he troubled so much. Long Xing Yu continued: From some points of view, we knights belong to the magical swordsmanship school. Those swords skills I taught you use your spiritual energy. The next step is the cultivation of the inner spiritual energy, and we have a single mastery element and it is the holy attribute. This awakening stone that I told you to bring will transform the light attribute of your body. The higher your innate mental capacity is, regardless of your physical condition, the more effect the awakening stone will have. But you have to know that our holy arts and the magic from the mages are not the same. Mages use the power of magic elemental spells, but we, the knights, directly use the spiritual energy in our bodies to form our holy arts. But in fact, there is an important factor. The deeper one grasps the Ten Rules of A Knight, the stronger his holy magic will be. Understood? Long Hao Chen pondered for a moment before replying: Father, are you saying that knights like us only need to seriously practice our inner spiritual energy to be able to master sword skills and holy magic, these two different styles? Hearing these words, Long Xing Yu was surprised. He didnt expect Long Hao Chen to understand so quickly. Thats right. You can interpret my words like that. The spiritual energy of knights is used for sword skills as well as magic. This is what makes uspletely different from warriors who cannot use magic. Okay, lets begin the Awakening now. Come out together with me. Part 2: With these words, Long Xin Yu brought Long Hao Chen out of the log cabin and they headed towards the peak of the mountain. Long Xing Yu waved his left hand and a thickyer of golden light spread out from his body, forming a golden mantle that was quickly growing, from 16.5 meters (5 Zhang) to 33 meters (10 Zhang), enveloping both father and child. This rich light seemed as if it tried to fill Long Hao Chens soul; when bathing in this golden radiance, his whole body felt stronger. The [Heavenly Battle Array] that Li Xin used released a holy light, butpared to the golden mantle that Long Xing Yu formed, it was simply the same asparing a firefly to the moon. This is the [Bright Blessing], a high ranked defensive skilled used by high step knights. Hao Chen, close your eyes and stay focused. Regardless of whatever you feel, you must stay calm, and quietly feel the changes in your body. Specifically, try toprehend the light, understood? Yes. Long Xing Yu looked at the kid in front of him, took a deep breath, and slowly lifted the awakening stone in his right hand. He didnt tell Long Hao Chen at all that,pared to an ordinary knights [Sacred Awakening], his [Sacred Awakening] was going to be way more painful and hard to bear. Because his spiritual energy didnt reach the 110th rank yet,pared to the peak Standard Knight who went through this awakening, the burden that was going to be put on his body was immeasurable. Naturally, it was by this way that Long Hao Chens potential would develop the most. ording to the Knight Temples rules, taking the [Sacred Awakening] in advance like this was strictly forbidden for fear that it could permanently injure the knights body. The risks of failing the awakening could go as far as endangering his life. Of course, Long Xing Yu didnt want at all to put Long Hao Chens life at stake. But no one understood better than him the mysterious process of the [Sacred Awakening], and Long Xing Yu didnt care at all about the Knight Temples rules. Originally, Long Hao Chens mental capacity was far higher than ordinary peoples and, at the same time, he had a caring and almost wless heart. In addition, he had already grasped most of the Ten Rules of a Knight, and he had the support of Long Xing Yu, so it was almost guaranteed that he would sessfully bear this pain. A twinkling golden radiance rose from Long Xing Yus hand; its brightness surpassed the rising suns. However, this radiance was motionless, it waspletely blocked from spreading out by the [Bright Blessing]s shining mantle. At this very moment, the shining mantle covered the father and his son and their silhouettes disappearedpletely. Long Hao Chen suddenly felt that his own body became hotter; his bodys temperature was in fact raising and he felt like a nucleus formed in the middle of his internal organs (Footnote: authors metaphor; since its very hot, this nucleus ispared by the author to a sun һ̫һ㡱). At this moment, he clearly discovered that his own body contained countless channels, and each of these channels was an extension of the newly formed internal nucleus. Shutting his eyes, he saw a bright golden color. It was the golden color from the insides of his body. A violent pain emerged at this moment. A thin grey colored gas violently emerged from Long Hao Chens body, disappearing in the golden radiance; it was the internal impurities in his body. This was one of the results of the [Sacred Awakening], a purification effect. During this purification, Long Hao Chen felt that his own body was pierced by a myriad of sharp arrows. Meanwhile, this scorching hot sensation became even more violent than during the beginning. The [Sacred Awakening] does not only enable the knight to transform their spiritual energy into holy light useable with magic. At the same time, it purifies his soul and his body. Therefore, knights who went through the [Sacred Awakening] rarely went against their own beliefs and convictions. Long Hao Chens body is violently shaking. If someone could see what happened inside the [Bright Blessing], he would discover that at this very moment, Long Hao Chens whole bodys pores were all bleeding from inside. But precisely by this process, on his chest, a golden ring of light gradually appeared and was bing more and more imposing. , , is the pre published part 1 (likely slightly modified afterwards). *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Sacred Awakening, Scion of Light (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Persevere! For our beliefs, for protecting everyone we care about! Long Xing Yus voice clearly resounded in Long Hao Chens mind, making his pain gradually reduce and his spirit rise. The awakening stone in Long Xing Yus hand was being dissolved, continuously being refined in his hand before finally taking the form of a drop of pure golden liquid floating and heading towards the pit in the middle of Long Hao Chens stomach. Compared to the awakening of ordinary knights, with Xing Yus refining, this drip of Holy Liquid didnt have a trace of impurity. It was only golden colored and it merged with Long Hao Chens body. _Puff_ C, in the instant after the drip of Holy Liquid merged with Long Hao Chens body, an intense golden light shone on his forehead. The golden light reacted with the [Bright Blessing], slowly heading towards the top of Long Hao Chens head, then growing up little by little. Long Xing Yu nervously looked at this golden pir. It would determine Long Hao Chens future potential regarding the use of the holy attribute. During the [Sacred Awakening], knights would acquire the holy attribute in their inner spiritual energy and during this process, their innate quantity of internal spiritual energy, one of the most important standards for determining the potential of a knight, would be determined. Generally speaking, if ones innate internal spiritual energy level couldnt even exceed 10, then that knight would have no way to break through the third step. From the top of Long Hao Chens head, a golden thread was suddenly growing before falling backwards; it had quickly already reached the length corresponding to the tenth spiritual energy level. His body was suffering and shaking as violently as before, but the growth speed of the golden thread was really astonishing. 10, 20, 30, 40 At the moment the spiritual energy level reached 40, Long Xing Yu couldnt help clenching his fists. When ones innate internal spiritual energy reached 40, he was already a rare genius in the Knight Temple. But this golden column was still growing at the same speed. _Such a formidable innate mental capacity_ , Long Xing Yu couldnt help but secretly sigh. He suspected beforehand that Long Hao Chens mental capacity was abnormal, but he had no way to be sure before performing the [Sacred Awakening]. At that moment, he would be able to see how formidable Long Hao Chens mental capacity really was. 50, it exceeded 50! 55, 58, 60. It surprisingly even exceeded 60. Long Xing Yu remembered that he was known as the greatest genius of the century in the Knight Temple, and during his [Sacred Awakening], his internal spiritual energy peaked at the 77th level. Although he took care of Long Hao Chen during the past year, building his foundation by making him sit in meditation, the fact his spiritual energy exceeded 60 meant a lot of things, and this golden pir of light was still continuing to grow. 65, 67, already 67! Long Xing Yus pupils violently shrank. For innate internal spiritual energy, every 10 levels corresponded to a step and if Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy exceeded 70, his capacity for using holy magic would not be inferior to any light element mages. 70, it really was 70! At this instant, Long Xing Yu couldnt help but hold his breath; when Long Hao Chens innate internal spiritual energy broke through the 70th level, he stopped shaking. With another _Puff_ sound, numerous golden threads of light burst out of Long Hao Chens body. The pain was, at this moment, all gone and Long Hao Chens clothes disappeared because of these golden lights. His fair white skin shone like a crystal, the thin golden threads wandering about, piling up on his whole body, covering it of a gold color. The golden ring of light was gradually drawn into the middle of Long Hao Chens chest before finally taking the form of a little soybean. Part 2: Long Hao Chen had a very strange feeling when his innate inner spiritual energy reached 70, he felt as if the pain carried by his whole body had disappeared, reced by a heavenly sensation. Everything became clear and transparent, including his heart and his soul. This rich divine atmosphere improved his body. The inner spiritual energy was still growing, though, and Long Hao Chen seemed to have somewhat changed, influenced by thews of light. Heavens! 80, his innate spiritual energy actually even exceeded 80! Long Xing Yus body shivered once more. This frightening innate spiritual force actually didnt make Long Hao Chen formidable for the moment, but it would definitely have a great influence on his potential. 81, 83, 85 The golden light rose as before, even after having surpassed the 70th inner spiritual energy level. In the history of the Knight Temple, there were 17 records of this aplishment. Among these 17 people, except for six of them, all of the others became the most formidable Divine Knights of history. However, his inborn spiritual energy outstripped 80. This happened only three times in history. Among those three knights, two did not manage to rise up: only one seeded. On the year of his 36th birthday, that one broke through the threshold of the ninth step of the vocation, the 10,000th spiritual energy level, the divine achievement. Heavens! 90, really 90?! The only one in the Knight Temples History who reached the 90th spiritual energy level! Long Xing Yu struck dumb with amazement. A pure heart, a mental capacity different from ordinary peoples, a good grasp on the Ten Rules of a Knight, and such a terrifying innate internal spiritual energy level. The golden pir seemed to have reached its bottleneck, its growth clearly reduced by a great amount. Now, it was rising slowly. An innate internal spiritual energy of 70 was known as giving a physique of angel, one of 80 was known as having a physique blessed by Gods, and above the 90th spiritual energy level, even though this case never appeared in the Knight Temple, in the original Knight Temples records written by the ancestors, the physique associated was known as the physique of a Scion of Light, the purest holy body that could exist. With it, he would innately be able to use any holy weapon and be friendly with any magical beast of the light attribute. In the end, the golden pir wasnt able to keep raising and stopped at the position of the 97th level. Innate spiritual energy level, 97. The golden light became gradually weaker, revealing the silhouette of both father and son. It feels so good! Long Hao Chen just came back to his senses, released from this special holy atmosphere. Opening his eyes, Long Hao Chen discovered to his surprise that the father in front of him showed a shocked expression on his dull face. Father, whats wrong? Long Hao Chen made haste to ask. Long Xing Yus body shook, anding back to his senses, he looked at Long Hao Chen in the eyes. Long Hao Chens originally dark blue colored eyes changed into a peculiar gold color. Light gold colored eyes were not somethingpletely unusual, but it was the first time Long Xing Yu saw this kind of transparent gold colored eyes. Scion of Light, it is really a Scion of Light! God bless the humanity, God bless the Knight Temple. Long Xing Yu couldnt control his slightly trembling voice. As he spoke, he took back his [Bright Blessing]. Father, what is the Scion of Light? Ah, and what about my clothes? The wind blew from the mountain and Long Hao Chen felt a chill, discovering that he became unexpectedly naked. He immediately cried out in rm. Long Xing Yu reacted at this moment, his right hand trembled and from it, a long gown appeared, covering Long Hao Chens body Carefully looking at his son, Long Xing Yu discovered that Long Hao Chens skin now had a golden luster that could only be noticed because of the sunlight. But the strange fact was that there wasnt as much holy atmosphere left on his body as the other knights after their [Sacred Awakening]; all the holy atmosphere was in fact in his body, and no slightest amount spilled out. Only Long Xing Yus eyes could notice such a special phenomenon. , , are thements of the part 1 *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Sacred Awakening, Scion of Light (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Due to the fact that in the Knight Temple, there were less than 10 people who truly knew the profound mysteries of the Scion of Light, Long Xing Yu wasnt worried at all about his sons inborn gifts being exposed. Hao Chen, your [Sacred Awakening] has just beenpleted. Did you realize that after taking into ount your internal spiritual energy, you are already a Genuine Knight? Oh? So easily? Long Hao Chen was surprised, but he could feel in his body a kind of warm air current that reacted to his thoughts and movements. Easily? Long Xing Yus face revealed a forced smile, thinking that this little fellow didnt know hunger or famine. After a knights awakening, it was already praiseworthy if one gained from it, 20 spiritual energy levels. Your innate gifts are not bad, but this is merely what the [Sacred Awakening] brought you. Regarding your practice in the future, you will not only have to make efforts as great as before, but possibly even greater. Understood? Lets head back and talk over this matter. Father, I will make great efforts for sure. Upon seeing Long Xing Yu holding Long Hao Chens hands as they came back to the log cabin; Bai Yues face revealed a smile and she silently looked at this scene, standing close. She didnt know much about swordy, but she understood her husband well. She could also see clearly from Long Xing Yu face that he was somewhat shocked. By the fact that her formidable husband was unexpectedly shocked by her sons innate gifts, it seemed that Chen Chens choice to walk on the road of chivalry was the correct one. However, if one day, they, father and son, really had to face _that person_ Heading back to the log cabin, Long Hao Chen donned the clothes he had brought before continuing to listen to Long Xing Yus instructions. Long Xing Yu said with a heavy voice: Now you ought to tell me what your choice is, do you want to be a Retribution Knight or a Guardian Knight? Long Hao Chen answered without dy, in a firm voice: Father, I want to be a Guardian Knight. A Guardian Knight? Long Xing Yu was stupefied, So you are unexpectedly willing to give up on the formidable attack power andbat effectiveness of the Retribution Knights? Long Hao Chen rigidly answered: Father, you told me that to be a match against the demon race, we needed the power of the humanity as a whole, that the power of a single person is, in the end, insignificant. I want to turn into a Guardian Knight to protect the people I want to protect even better and, at the same time, to assist the people fighting beside me in the battlefield even more. Long Xing Yu was clearly somewhat disappointed and he sighed: But to finally battle the 72 Demon Gods, what we will need will be the greatest force humanity can bring. Long Hao Chen immediately asked: Then is it impossible for Guardian Knights to battle the demon gods? As he listened to this question, Long Xing Yus eyes revealed a glow, Thats it! With your innate internal spiritual energy of 97, your [Sacred Awakening] as the Scion of Light, and your incredible mental capacity as a support, why cant you learn some more things? Retribution and guardian are just ssifications, maybe you will be able to create a miracle. Perhaps the correct choice for you is to train in both specializations at the same time, in order to bring out the most of your innate potential as the Scion of Light. Long Hao Chen seemed to have understood something and asked with a shocked voice: Father, are you saying that I should study at the same time, the skills and abilities of a Retribution Knight? Thats right. From now on, I will train you as a retribution knight, and in two years, you will leave for Hao Yue Hall, where you will train as a guardian knight. This may reduce the cultivation speed of your spiritual energy, but as long as you are able to advance as both a Retribution and a Guardian Knight, in the future, you will be a formidable knight without precedence in history. Time passed day by day, the training as a knight at Odin Mountains peak continued, and in a blink of an eye, a year and a half passed. _Dang_ a neat chime resounded and the youths body suddenly shone a golden color before condensing just like the brilliance of the rising sun, as a shining de broke through space. A bamboo sword was lightly waved, its edge shone of a golden color as the space before this bamboo sword with a little handle was shattered. Not bad, your [Shining Sr Cut] is already at its peak mastery level; it onlycks in duration and degree of heating, and spiritual energy level for the moment. Long Xing Yu was impressively using a bamboo sword to parry this dazzling cut, and the youth putting this shining de to good use was Long Hao Chen. After a year and a half, Long Hao Chen was 12 years old, andpared to his original life in Odin Town, he underwent changes that could torn heaven and earth upside down. The only 12-year-old Long Hao Chen had already grown close to 1.60 meters. He didnt look muscr at all, his slender figures proportions looked wless. His ck hair fluttered on the back of his head and his sparkling gold colored eyes were dazzling. His originally beautiful little face had be quite heroic, but his appearance looked as wless as before. Looking at his physical dispositions, if he were to say that he was 14 or 15 years old, there would definitely be people who would believe that. At this moment, Long Hao Chens hands both surged up, each of them holding an epee, the standard weapon for a knight; they were 2 meters long (6 Chi), 16.5 centimeters wide (6 Cun) and an impressive thickness of 12.3 centimeters. The weight of this kind of knights epee was 25 kilograms (50 Jin) but they looked very light, as if they were nothing in his hands. During a year and a half, Long Hao Chen had learned a lot from his father. His internal spiritual energy didnt improve much from its innate 97th level, as it had only grown to the 120th level; but his external spiritual energy grew to the level of a peak third step knights, a total level of 200. Altogether, it amounted to a total level of 320, the level of a fourth ranked knight. He wasnt far from the 330th spiritual energy level of the fifth rank. If it wasnt for the fact that Long Xing Yu tried to build solid foundations in him, his growing speed would have perhaps been even more fearful. Even if Long Xing Yu was strict, when looking at an 11-and-a-half-years-old youth who reached the fourth rank as a knight, he could only reveal a satisfied smile. In the history of the Knight Temple, this was absolutely unprecedented. He had, himself, only reached this level of practice at the age of 15. However, with his external spiritual energy reaching the peak level, the speed of growth of Long Hao Chens spiritual energy significantly reduced. He could, after all, only rely on the strengthening of his inner spiritual energy to practice it. Only after reaching the next step of the knight vocation would he be able to keep practicing his external spiritual energy. Listening his fathers praise, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but reveal a big smile,Papa, this [Shining Sunlight Cut]s power is so high, but it consumes 50 units of internal spiritual energy and even consumes some external spiritual energy. My spiritual energy is still toocking. Long Xing Yu revealed a smile: You are still eleven years old. You should know that the [Shining Sunlight Cut] is a skill that any great knights ought to master. You cannot be impatient, you should try to progress step by step. Okay, get ready, lets see how long you will be able tost today. After having heard his father, Long Hao Chens expression immediately became serious. His hands took a tight grip on the swords. Long Xing Yu moved, his body seeming weightless, and in a sh, the bamboo sword in his hand arrived in front of Long Hao Chen. After the epee in his left hand was pushed back, Long Hao Chen quickly took a step back, dodging the bamboo swords attack at the same time. Though clearly, Long Xing Yu didnt use any spiritual energy in his bamboo sword. However, in the next instant, countless bamboo shadows appeared in front of Long Hao Chens body, just like drops of water. Long Xing Yu was already gone and there were only endless bamboo shadows that came from all directions, aiming to stab Long Hao Chen, but Long Hao Chen looked already used to these kind of situations. The pair of epees in his hands danced in the air with a fast speed. Puffs that sounded like banana leaves in the rain rang unceasingly. , , is the prepublished part 1, the crazy games we yed, and thements. 1. , I yed the game of slightly changing the sentence if youre interested. 2. metaphor from the author, it means that he underwent formidable changes 3.

Chapter 24: Sacred Awakening, Scion of Light (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Sorry, its not that Ipletely mistranted the word, but that the word ؽ could have these two meanings, so since it was generally dual-wielded by Retribution Knight, I misinterpreted, guessing that it would probably be a sword that is rather not so voluminous. Thus consider that the epees were from the beginning heavy swords. Thanks a lot to Bagelson & Njonjo for the remark & sorry about this sudden change. Ill change from now on from epee to heavy sword, & do when Ill ~~not be toozy~~ have the time, the changes on the earlier chapters. The change has been applied to this chapter I hope it sounds good. Long Hao Chen used the edge, the t part, and even the handle of the heavy swords in his hands; it seemed to be able to deal with all the opponents bamboo sword attacks. Momentarily, the swords shadow glimmered, coating his whole body just like a huge ball of light. Sacred light capabilities were continuously used, coordinated with his defense using the pair of heavy swords. When facing Long Xing Yus attacks, if Long Hao Chen showed the slightest w, the bamboo sword would immediately fall on his body and hurt a lot more than the owl-ants attacks. However, the strange thing was that Long Hao Chen managed to resist: although Long Xing Yu looked quite serious, at the same time, he wasnt able to break through Long Hao Chens defense. After a quarter of an hour of continuous battle, Long Xing Yus bamboo sword suddenly shone. A white radiance expanded and thousands of swords appeared in front of Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen was still waving his pair of swords. He didnt expect this attack from Long Xing Yu, but this was clearly not the first time this kind of situation had urred. The handle of the heavy sword in his left hand was knocked against the one in his right hand, then he shed before him with the heavy sword in his right hand, while swinging the one in his left hand. With a sh of golden light, a [Thorny Charge] was used towards the bamboo sword. A soft tinkling sound rang. The swords were swung but the bamboo sword that was in the path of the charge didnt show the slightest change. Using the momentum from his previous block, Long Hao Chen advanced. With a neat ringing sound, ayer a golden light immediately undted from Long Hao Chens body, it was the [Divine Obstruction]. Against Long Xing Yus stab, he had to use all the spiritual energy he had left to form a [Divine Obstruction], enabling him to withstand it. Great, you did well this time. You were able to act calmly. I see that the actualbat training we did on a daily basis did not go to waste. Taking his bamboo sword back, the smiling Long Xing Yu nodded in front of Long Hao Chen. However, Long Hao Chen was panting, his clothes soaked in sweat. Even though his father didnt use spiritual energy rted attacks, Long Hao Chen was still overwhelmed by his power. Long Xing Yu went in front of Long Hao Chen, patting his shoulder, and said with a smile: Lets go home to rest for a little while, your mother should soon be done with the midday meal. Okay. Long Hao Chens face was also joyful. Despite the fact that during this year and a half, he painstakingly trained everyday, it was still the happiest period of his life. His mothers face was always smiling, and his formidable father instructed him. This kind of life was far from a dull one: it was, on the contrary, full of happiness. When both father and son arrived in front of the log cabin, Long Xing Yus foot suddenly stopped, his eyes revealing a severe gaze. Long Hao Chen also felt the change in his fathers breath: he gave a terrifying almighty ancient-dragon-like feeling that prevented him from breathing calmly. Long Xing Yu loosened his grip on Long Hao Chens hand and slowly turned back, taking light steps and, in the next instant, Long Hao Chen opened his mouth wide: from his fathers body, a dense gold colored radiance spurted, raising his body into the sky and enabling him to fly. Despite having trained for more than two years with his father, Long Hao Chen didnt know at all, at which level his fathers true strength was. At this very moment, seeing that his father could go as far as to be able to rely on his spiritual energy to soar in the sky gave him an extremely big shock. At the same time, two golden lights could be seen in Long Xing Yus eyes as he gazed from afar towards Odin Town. Without waiting for Long Hao Chen to recover from the shock, he went down to the ground, his eyes revealing a cold expression. The demon races armed forcesunched a sneak attack, we have to go. Simultaneously, he grabbed Long Hao Chens arm and soared once more in the sky. His fully condensed spiritual energy took the form of a pair of golden wings spreading out from Long Xing Yus back. Spiritual energy transformation was an ability used by 6th step Radiant Knights, but Long Xing Yus wings were over 10 meters wide, covered by dozens of gold colored feathers that looked just like real objects. How could an ordinary spiritual energy aplish such a feat so easily? As the enormous pair of stretching wings appeared, a gold-colored aura enveloped Long Xing Yu and his son. The pair of wings suddenly fanned and they both immediately headed straight in the direction of Odin Town with the speed of a meteor. What Long Hao Chen didnt notice was that, upon seeing Long Xing Yus pair of wings, all the beings from Odin Mountain, to the insides of the forest, regardless if they were magical beast or wild beast, all crept on the ground: they were so rmed and hopeless before this sight that they did not dare move in the slightest bit. The scenery turned into a gold-colored world, the dense sacred energy wrapped everything around them and Long Hao Chen could feel his internal spiritual energy boiling. During this short moment, his inner spiritual energy raised a lot, but this was only because the light-attribute energy temporarily produced around them at this moment was too formidable. This showed how powerful the sacred energy released by Long Xing Yu was. It felt as if only a few seconds had passed when the golden light suddenly scattered and Long Hao Chen could see the outward situation. _Odin Town, we are actually already back in Odin town. After such a small amount of time?_ Long Hao Chen couldnt believe his own eyes, but the fact was that before his eyes, below his feet, wasnt this the Odin Town where he grew up? The current Odin Town had lost its originally calm and quiet atmosphere. A lot of ces were burning, sounds of crying resounded nonstop, miserable shrieks and destruction sounds flooded each corner of Odin Town. Long Hao Chen saw at least thousands of ck armored, tall, and big monsters with robust bodies. They were the ones wreaking havoc in Odin Town. These monsters were at least 1.8 meters tall. Each had the head of a wolf and the body of a human at the same time. They waved curved swords. Odin Towns inhabitants were currently being ughtered by them; sad and shrill cries could be heard everywhere, but these ferocious wolves were also unceasingly howling even louder. More than 3,000 households were supposed to be living in the town of Odin, making 20,000 inhabitants, but at this moment, it had be a sea of blood and corpses, dense blood was scattered everywhere, the scene could make anyone feel like vomiting. Father, what are they? Long Hao Chens voice was filled with anger, this is the ce where he grew up! He had seen just now with his own eyes one of his former littlepanions being cut into two parts by a wolf-headed monster wielding a curved sword, the front part of his body was lying on the ground and after he let out hisst agonizing sad and shrill cry, his internal organs started spreading all around. Werewolves from the demon race. Long Xing Yu answered with a cold voice, an impressive pressure could be felt released from his body. The people below,pletely terrified by the werewolves, subconsciously looked up. Seeing the two enormous wings spreading from Long Xing Yus back, they couldnt help but feelpletely astonished by his appearance. Father, let me go down, I am going to kill them! Long Hao Chen shouted excitedly. Your strength is far from sufficient. Long Xing Yu said in a low voice: Hao Chen, didnt you always want to see your fathers actual strength? Then, take a good look. A gold-red ring of light surged out from Long Xing Yus back: an enormous bright gold throne shone with a magnificent brilliance, slowly appearing from the gold-red ring of light. , , is the prepublished part 1 (likely slightly modfied afterwards). *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Divine Throne of Doom and ughter (1)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The enormous throne was 33 meters (10 Zhang) high; on its back, countless precious stones were set and a man could faintly be seen floating behind this chair, spreading severity, dignity, and even terror out all around. At the top of the back of the chair, there was a semicircr bright red gem that seemed like the sun looking over mother earth. But its brilliance was dark orange colored, giving the impression that it was bringing doom and terror. At the height of the chest of this figure, also at the back of the chair, an intensely dazzling golden red diamond gem could be spotted. Each crest line drawn on it seemed to try to show the mans formidableness; a huge part of it released a bright brilliance. At the front of this wide chair, two crawling lions were carved on the left and right sides, seeming as if they were roaring. Countless magnificent decorative patterns seemed topletely fill the back of the throne. At the moment this throne appeared, a golden column of light arrived on Long Xing Yus body,pletely enveloping both him and Long Hao Chen. As the golden lightpletely enveloped both of them, Long Hao Chen disappeared and Long Xing Yus body erged ten-folds before slowly sitting on the throne. In Odin Town, whether they were the werewolves or the former inhabitants, no one could move under this tremendous disy of power. The inhabitants were all panic-stricken while the werewolves gazes were filled with despair. A golden yellow haired werewolf who looked much more robust than the others of his race said in a trembling voice, This, this is the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. The immense Long Xing Yu was slowly sitting straight on his throne, his cold gaze was endlessly awe-inspiring, and at the moment he was seated, the gold red diamond gem at the back of the chair suddenly appeared on his chest as the whole sky started to be gold red colored. [Judgement]. A cold word came out from Long Xing Yus mouth. An orange luster gushed out from his back, turning into an immense sword that floated in the sky, right above his head. The gold haired werewolf had already given up all hope, he couldnt imagine why such a big shot could appear at the border of the Temple Alliance. Even though these werewolves wanted to run away, it wasnt possible now. A myriad of reddish orange colored rays of light fell from the sky, they seemed to grow as they grew closer, falling on each of the werewolves. No matter how much they struggled, they were unable to do anything against it, and all the werewolves sadly disappeared from this world, just like that. There wasnt a single trace left of them, they had simply vanished. [Salvation]. The gold red radiance turned into a heavenly scene, and the werewolves disappeared from the world. The people from Odin Town started to get up from the shock. Only a handful of people stood in this warm, gold red colored radiance, but the wounds on their body were being healed at an astonishing speed. The ces that were burning were also already extinguished. The only things that couldnt be restored were the lives of the people who had already died and the destroyed buildings. With a sh of golden light, Long Xing Yu who was still seated on the throne was already in front of one more person, the gold haired werewolf. In regard to demon race monsters, humans ranked them the same as magical beasts. This gold haired werewolf was at least a fifth step demon. However, in front of Long Xing Yu, he was like a little ant who couldnt even struggle the slightest bit. Besides him, each of the demons had already been eliminated. What is your goal by invading the southern part of the Temple Alliance? Long Xing Yus cold voice sounded full of suspicions. This gold haired werewolf still put up a tough front, even though by his gaze, it could be seen that he was despaired and unwilling, he still didnt answer. This Divine Throne of Doom and ughter You, arent you the Adjudicator, the Divine Knight, Long Xing Yu? Part 2: Long Xing Yu faintly answered: Thats right, Im in charge of adjudication and judgement. Now, answer to my question. The gaze of the gold haired werewolf became ferocious, Even if you are a Divine Knight, the demon gods areing soon: our senior demon gods will avenge us. Even if I die, I wont tell you anything. Long Xing Yu, with a cold gaze, In that case, go to hell. The golden light disappeared together with this gold-haired werewolf. Long Xing Yu was still seated on the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter, revealing a somewhat anxious look. A short whileter, after the golden light faded away, his Divine Throne was turning into yellow stars as it disappeared. The survivors of Odin Town had thrown themselves on their knees earlier, thinking about the golden light that disappeared in the sky. They didnt know who Long Xing Yu was, but from their point of view, this judgement that overpowered all the werewolves was really a divine act. After a sh of golden light, there were immediately two more people at the peak of Odin Mountain. Long Xing Yu looked just like before, dressed with a simple robe, his ck hair fluttering. After the gold colored banishment, he had restored every inhabitant their original appearance. Long Hao Chen stood by the side of his father, but he couldnt say anything at this moment: even though he had hundreds of guesses rted to his fathers actual strength, he could not imagine that his own father could unexpectedly pull out such a godly move. The act a moment ago had truly shaken him way too much. After two years of practice, Long Hao Chen had some confidence in his own power, but at this moment, he felt thatpared to his father, he was still nothing more than a little grain of dust. Long Xing Yu gently patted his shoulder, Here, I am only a husband as well as a father. Demon invasion? Bai Yue was, also at this moment, at the mountain peak. This ce wasnt so close to Odin Town, but she could also distinctly see the Divine Throne that Long Xing Yu unleashed. Its bright radiance could even be seen from Hao Yue City that was 50 kilometers (100Li) away. Long Xing Yus brows wrinkled and he briefly nodded, This was an exploratory attack, no real demon powerhouses appeared. It looks like I have to shift my return to the Alliance to an earlier date. Bai Yue lightly nodded, holding Long Xing Yusrge hand. Long Hao Chens inner shaking didnt disappear yet, Father, you, you are a Divine Knight? he courageously asked. Long Xing Yu nodded, You should have heard it during this attack from the werewolves. In the Knight Temple, I am known as the Adjudicator. I am in charge of the crusades of the Temple Alliance. Long Hao Chens face was full of worship: Father, what is exactly a Divine Throne? Is, is it possible for me to be as formidable as you through training? Long Xing Yu nodded, sternly answering: Of course it is possible. I achieved my rank of Divine Knight during the year of my 47th birthday, even before I met your mother. As long as you try your best, I believe that you will be able to achieve this stage even earlier than me. , , is the prepublished part 1 (likely slightly modfied afterwards). 1. refers to the instant ughter of the werewolves 2. the holy battles against the demon race *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Divine Throne of Doom and ughter (2)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Looking from afar, Long Xing Yu let out a sigh, It looks like the demon race ising back. Hao Chen, remember, the demon race is powerful, but we mustnt yield to them. As knights, we have to protect our homnd until thest drop of our blood is exhausted. Em! Long Hao Chen nodded as he gave this answer. In his heart, his father wasnt a mere teacher, but a target of his worship. Without personal experience, he couldnt imagine that a Divine Throne was so formidable. In this vast sea of spiritual energy, he ravaged the heavens and the earth. This bright [Judgement] left in Long Hao Chens heart, an indelible mark. Father, do we have to leave this ce? Long Hao Chen asked Long Xing Yu lowered his head towards him and said: Yes, but, you are noting with us. Ah? Long Hao Chen was astonished, giving a look full of iprehension to his father. Long Xing Yu faintly said: A little chick who never leaves his parents protection will never be able to reach the heights of the heaven in the great sky. I had nned to guide you for 3 years, but it looks like we will have to part earlier. I will take your mother back to the Temple Alliance to deal with a few matters and to honor an agreement of mine. The Temple Alliance isnt a suitable ce for you. If you are toe along with us, I am afraid you will never turn into a Divine Knight like me. You have to walk on your path, step by step, relying on your efforts to gain everything, and you will possess your own honor as a knight. Father, I dont want to part with you and mother. Long Hao Chen suddenly held his fathers waist, his gaze looking very sad. Bai Yue looked at Long Xing Yu with an imploring gaze. Long Xing Yu stroked Long Hao Chens head, Silly boy, if you stay by the our side from beginning to end, your heart will forever be filled with a feeling of dependence and concern. And even if you were toe with us to the Temple Alliance, you wouldnt be able to stay forever by my side. Thus, I have to leave you for a few years, I have too many matters to handle. I have already made this decision: you have to remain here. Long Hao Chen was still shocked, he tried to control the tears that were dripping from his eyes. Bai Yue had already returned to the log cabin, crying uncontrobly. Long Xing Yu pulled Long Hao Chen in front of him, and told him in a low voice: Hao Chen, before we leave, Father has to teach onest thing. Long Hao Chen answered absent-mindedly: What is it? Long Xing Yu said in a low voice: Spiritual stoves. Spiritual stoves? Hearing these two words, Long Hao Chens body couldnt help but shake. During these 2.5 years he trained by his fathers side, he heard Long Xing Yu speak about Spiritual Stoves countless times. But at those moments, Long Xing Yu didnt give him directions regarding his training in the use of spiritual stoves. Long Xing Yu nodded: Spiritual stoves are spiritual smelting furnaces. Learning to use them is not really about ability. It is rather one of the most valuable magical treasures in nature. There are a lot of knight abilities that can be chosen. But except from a few that will depend on your inner talent, most will be acquired from practice. But spiritual stoves are not the same. The vast majority of the spiritual stoves enable you to use abilities that cannot be acquired through practice, and spiritual stoves are all different. Each of them has unique properties, and even if different people practice using the same spiritual stove, the result produced will be different. There are many kinds of spiritual stoves, a total of 74 types have been catalogued at present. Each of them are only suited to some vocations, and there are a total of 23 that are suited for the knight vocation. Some are more suited toward knights, but warriors can also use them. Long Hao Chen was gradually bing more and more fascinated by his fathers exnation about spiritual stoves, Father, where can I acquire a spiritual stove? Part 2: Long Xing Yu answered: Generally speaking, they can only be found in ces where a lot of spiritual power has gathered or in ancient ruins. In whichever vocation, there is, on average, only one person out of 1000 who possesses a spiritual stove. That also applies for knights. However, spiritual stoves are amon goal seeked by all vocations. It is because only by possessing a spiritual stove, can one really be more formidable than those of the same step. Speaking these words, Long Xing Yu took out the ck colored ring on the index finger of Long Hao Chen. As if it had synchronized with his finger, this ck ring had contracted enough to be a perfect fit. This is a sixyered seal. I sealed, in your ring, all the powerful skills used by Retribution Knights from the 4th to the 9th rank. Every time your spiritual energy reaches a high enough rank, you will be able to break through a part of the seal and study each of these skills one by one. Then, he drew out a book and passed it to Long Hao Chen, All you have to know regarding spiritual stoves is exined in detail in this book. I dont have the time to show you in person, so you will have to learn by yourself, understood? Father Long Hao Chen let out this word, his eyes uncontrobly red. Do not forget the favor you owe to the one who gave you this ring. Long Hao Chen gently nodded; after he awakened his inner spiritual energy, Long Xing Yu had told him to what extent he had to be grateful towards the mute girl who left him this ring. As spiritual energy was poured into it, the thin golden pattern on the ring looked almost alive, and a thin blue light appeared, shining strongly. Long Hao Chen took the book recording the mysteries of the spiritual stoves. This ring he received was an extremely valuable space ring; inside, up to 10 cubic meters of various articles could be stored. It originally only contained a defensive ability that created a thin blue shield when stimted. As long as spiritual energy was poured into this ring, the shield would always exist, and its strength would increase together with the spiritual energy. Long Xing Yu said that it was a rare kind of enchantment. Looking at Long Hao Chen who was packing his book, Long Xing Yu lightly sighed: Hao Chen, although I have a lot of pretty good equipment, I dont n to give it to you. It is because weapons and equipments are only valuable when you obtain them by relying on your own efforts: this way, you will really be able to treasure them. Father, I dont want to separate from you. Long Hao Chens tears finally stopped dripping. Long Xing Yu held his son in his embrace, sighing: Hao Chen, your emotions are your strong point, but also your weakness. Remember, neither Father nor Mother will be by your side in the future; you will have to be a taciturn person, you cannot wear your heart on your sleeve. Dont cry, this is only a temporary separation. Father hopes that the next time well meet each other, you will be able to make me look at you with new eyes. Father and mother are going to leave. I cannot leave you any equipment, but there is a gift that I prepared for you a long time ago. As he said that, Long Xing Yu let go of his sons hand, putting his right hand on his own chest. Tightly pressing, a strange white light was released. The white light was gentle, followed by a particr energy undting before pulsing, giving a dizzy feeling to the ones who looked at it. This was definitely neither the energy from the Sacred Light nor Long Xing Yus spiritual energy. Long Xing Yu slowly stretched his palm under the gaze of Long Hao Chen who looked quite impressed; in his fathers palm, there was a white radiance. A three foot long little cauldron appeared in Long Xing Yus palm. The white radiance was emitted from this white cauldron, softly moved up and down, creating a mesmerizing sight. , , is the prepublished part 1 (likely slightly modfied afterwards). 1. kind of groaning agreeing sound like Umu in Japanese 2. <=> the pinnacle level of training (metaphor) 3. idiom, you have to be a person with a big heart. 4. more precisely a /a ding, an ancient cooking vessel with two loop handles and three or four legs) *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Saint Spiritual Stove (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Despite the fact they were going to leave each other soon, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but be fascinated by the sight of this little white-colored cauldron. Father, what is that? Long Xing Yu answered: This is a Saint Spiritual Stove. Father has prepared it as a gift to you. There are a lot of different kinds of spiritual stoves and each one has specific properties as well as a specific ssification, but the more formidable the spiritual stove is, the bigger the price to pay to use it will be. This Saint Spiritual Stove is the 68th spiritual stove among the 74 types, but in terms of rarity, it belongs to the top ten. The utility of the Saint Spiritual Stove is detailed in the book I gave you. Simply said, the Saint Spiritual Stove has neither offensive nor defensive abilities, but is able to help the cultivation of your Spiritual Energy. It is ranked among the top 20 spiritual stoves and can evolve at least three times.. And for knights, it has an enormous utility. When using the Saint Spiritual Stove, you can attract the enemys aggression so that enemies will only attack you instead of yourpanions.Unless you die or you choose to deactivate your Saint Spiritual Stove, the enemy will only be able to target you. Perhaps you are unable toprehend this mysterious effect at this moment, but you will, in the future,e to understand how amazing it is. At the same time, the biggest benefit of the Saint Spiritual Stove lies in the fact that it doesnt put a burden on your body when you are using it and, at the same time, its consumption of spiritual energy is really low. In addition, it wont influence your absorption of other spiritual stoves in the future. Therefore, father chose it as your first spiritual stove; I hope you will like this gift. As for the other abilities it will acquire after evolving, father doesnt know either; I can only tell you to try to find out by yourself. Also, you have to keep this firmly in mind that Spiritual Stoves are not omnipotent at all. The most formidable one is absolutely not always the most suited one. The ones in the top ten ranks all require their user to pay a big price. Some of these costs are really hard to bear. In regard to spiritual stoves, it really isnt the more you have, the better: you have to absolutely carefully think before deciding if you should fuse with a new spiritual stove. Long Xing Yus tone was really severe, each of his words came from the sum of his own experience. Then, Father, how many spiritual stove can someone fuse with? Long Hao Chen asked. Long Xing Yu shook his head: I dont know. In theory, there is no restriction of quantity, but spiritual stoves easily conflict among themselves. If that happens, you will risk death in regard to the fusion. The record until now was five spiritual stoves being fused. I personally fused with three, but it isnt necessarily better to fuse with more of them. And you have to continuously make great efforts if you want your spiritual stove to evolve. After a spiritual stove evolves a few times, its power will surpass the power of several spiritual stoves put together that have not evolved. Alright, I exined you the most important basics. Hao Chen, dont forget what your mother told you: whatever the circumstances are, you have to give priority to your own security. As he said these words, Long Xing Yus left hand rose and was ced on Long Hao Chens chest and, at this moment, his body became enveloped by a misty gold-colored brilliance, preventing him from moving. Long Xing Yus left hand scintited and on Long Hao Chens chest, four lights appeared. Long Hao Chen felt as if his body was being prated and his internal spiritual energy was ignited, circling around his father. Pulling Long Hao Chen with his right hand, he carefully cut a bit of the skin of his fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood from it. The fresh blood floated in Long Xing Yus spiritual energy before precisely falling onto the Saint Spiritual Stove. At this moment, the little cauldron released a soft white brilliance, shining brilliantly . A white light was then released by it, reaching Long Hao Chens chest. A warm feeling stimted all the pores on Long Hao Chens whole body. His circling inner spiritual energy spread out and scattered, as if it was an invader in his body. With a white radiance, the little white cauldron shining with a white glow slowly flew to the level of Long Hao Chens chest, entering his body little by little. The originally warm feeling became scorching hot just as if an iron skewer had entered his body. Long Hao Chen couldnt help but let out a miserable shout. It frightened Bai Yue who suddenly ran to him from the log cabin. Fortunately, the burning feeling didnt continue for long: after a few breaths, the white colored little spiritual stove had disappeared. A thin white radiance was emitted from Long Hao Chens body, making his skins surface gradually appear a smooth jade-colored luster. Part 2: Long Hao Chen felt the capabilities of the incredibly hot energy diffused in his chest. It was spread to each corner of his body, including even his cerebrum. This hot energy included countless mysterious energies that entered his mind. All of his senses were stimted and Long Hao Chen was stiff like the summit of a mountain, his body shining with a white-colored radiance. His chest shone especially, a little mark of spiritual stove appearing on it. This Saint Spiritual Stove was fusing together with Long Hao Chen, using the essence of heavens and earth, with his fresh blood and his spiritual energy as an intermediary to form a magical spiritual, the stove fused with his body, bing a part of it. When looking to fuse with a spiritual stove, the most basic requirement was the starting point of the third step of the vocation: 200th spiritual energy. Long Hao Chen had surpassed it a long time ago. Long XIng Yu stood there, quietly looking at his son, his eyes gradually revealing a few signs of disappointment. Bai Yue silently went to Long Xing Yus side, and as she was holding his hand, her tears couldnt help but drip, Do we really have to leave Chen Chen? I, I am not at ease. From childhood to now, he never left my side. Long Xing Yu held her in his embrace, Rest assured, I arranged the safest n possible for him. If he doesnt leave our side, he will forever be unable to be a real man. The confrontation between us and the demon race is going to be harder and harder as time passes. With such an outstanding inborn talent, our son will inevitably be the central pir of the Temple Alliance in the future. If you really love him, let him spread out his wings and freely soar in the sky. This agreement, do you have to fulfill it? Bai Yue let her tears fall. She clearly knew that this was the first reason why her husband had to leave their son. Long Xing Yus eyes revealed a determined spark, The warrior Anan and I cannot avoid this. I have already waited too long for this. If we can get rid of him , this will be a blessing for mankind. Be at ease. For the sake of both of you, I will try my hardest toe back alive. Everything was as in as before, but there wasnt a single other silhouette. Long Hao Chen was confused and lost in his thoughts for a long moment, his heartpletely in discord. With a _puff_ splitting sound, he fell on his knees, his tears flowing dramatically. Even though they had just parted, he seemed, at this moment, as if he was alone in the world. , 1.

Chapter 28: Saint Spiritual Stove (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Father, even if you took me by your side, I wouldnt have stopped putting in efforts! Choking back the sobs, Long Hao Chen painfully curled up, ruthlessly digging into the ground with his hands, feeling the pain of being alone for the first time in a long time. Meal time had already passed and Long Hao Chen started crawling on the ground. He was actually a resolute kid, but his mood just took control of his whole heart. _Without notice, Dad and Mom suddenly left_ , this fact was too hard to ept in his heart. As he stood up, Long Hao Chen looked around, at aplete loss. From his gaze, scenes of all sorts of events that happened in the past 2 years appeared unceasingly in his mind: his fathers seriousness, his mothers gentleness. Why are days of joy and happiness so brief? His tears fell once more, and at the same time , Long Hao Chen noticed two letters on the nearest table. After taking two or three steps, he grabbed the letters. On the envelopes containing the two letters, it was written that they were respectively designated to Hao Chen and Nn Shu. Obviously, one of the letters was for him and the other one had to be given to Nn Shu Hall Master of Hao Yue Hall. Long Hao Chen calmed down and slowly took apart the envelope that contained the letter that was written to him. Hao Chen, when you will have noticed this letter, I would have already left with your mother. We didnt want to bear the pain of separation. It is only a temporary farewell: you are already a grown up, and now that you are a man, you have to stand strong because the only thing you will be able to rely on in the future will be your own power. After reading this letter, you should go directly to Hao Yue City. In Hao Yue Hall, there is a ce where you can study all kinds of Guardian Knight skills, and there is an Instructor that is particrly outstanding. Keep in mind that, unless it is absolutely necessary, you mustnt easily expose your situation as being both a Retribution Knight and a Guardian Knight. I will also warn Nn Shu about this fact. Nn Shu is someone worth trusting, you can ask for his guidance. Also, you must learn all of the skills used by Guardian Knights from the first to the fourth step and be able to use them proficiently before you leave for the Sacred Mountain to get your mount. Regarding the Spiritual Communication in the Sacred Mountain, if you cannot resist the aura emanated by strong beasts, you will be unable to get a suitable mount as apanion. Meanwhile, studying the abilities used by Guardian Knights should also help you to grow even more tremendously. Remember, remember. You should unceasingly train with spiritual stoves. After owning a spiritual stove, it will turn into an intermediary for the practice of your internal spiritual energy and thus raise your training potential. Now that you have already fused with a Saint Spiritual Stove, your internal spiritual energy will most likely drop due to the fusion. However, there is no need to worry, this is a process between your internal spiritual energy and your spiritual stove. In half a month, or at most one month, it will be back to normal. Saint Spiritual Stoves are especially suited to be used by Guardian Knights and you should be able to learn this fact through personal experience in the future. Hao Chen, Father and Mother also hate the fact that we have to part with you, but Father hopes that the next time we meet with each other, you will show us your outstanding ability. If Mother and I donte to look for you, then it will mean that we are busy with very important matters. Only when you are able to reach the seventh step as a Knight of the Temple, pass through the examination, and are able to get a Silver Foundation Warrior Armor; only at this moment can you look for us. Arriving at the end of the letter, Long Hao Chen gave a agonizing look. His heart, filled with motivation, already aimed to reach the highest heights. Suddenly, he turned around, fleeing from the entrance of the log cabin and shouting at the top of his lungs: FAC THER C, MOC THER C! Long Hao Chen did not immediately leave Odin Mountain. He stayed there for 3 more days until the log cabin did not have the fragrance of his parents left. He then put in order his depressed feelings due to the separation and descended from the mountain with his luggage. On the road to Odin Town, he saw that, in the town, the rebuilding job was in progress and that at least 2,000 private troops of the Temple Alliance were stationed in the area. Part 2: It was already high noon when he arrived at Hao Yue City, and it looked like there wasnt much change. The instant he crossed the threshold of the city, Long Hao Chen secretly pledged that he would absolutely make the greatest of effort so that he could be a seventh step knight as soon as possible. Hao Yue City looked like it was not in disorder because of the surprise attack of the demon race. From what he could remember about its location, Long Hao Chen went back to the Knight Hall, Hao Yue Hall. Please, I want want to see Hall Master Nn Shu. said Long Hao Chen as he handed his badge of a Standard Knight. The two people who guarded the entrance changed and although they didnt know him, they could clearly see that he was a ten-something-year-old youth who unexpectedly already owned a Standard Knight insignia. They didnt dare treat him brashly and hurriedly reported his arrival. After a little while, apanied by a thin fragrance, a silhouette arrived from the inside of Hao Yue Halls. Lil Bro Hao Chen, you finally came. The one who came out from the Hall was Li Xin. She was dressed the same asst time with light armor, a pony tail, and looking quite heroic. A year and a half didnt leave any significant change on her body except her expression which looked even more imposing than in the past. It was obviously due to training; like him, she made great progress since thest time they had met. Big Sister Xiner. Looking at her, Long Hao Chen immediately had an a feeling of intimacy; his depressed feelings from thest few days almost faded. Under the stupefied look of the two guards, he threw himself directly into Li Xins bosom. Li Xin gave him a big hug and, affected by Long Hao Chens sentimental behaviour, she hurried to ask: Hao Chen, what happened? Anything bad? Long Hao Chen choked with sobs: Father and Mother left. They left me alone. Li Xing was astounded, Are you saying that during the demon races surprise attack? Long Hao Chen suddenly heard her misunderstanding and hurried to clear it: No, Father and Mother went to another ce and left me to join Hao Yue Hall to continue my practice. Li Xin lowered her tall and erect posture; she looked relieved, I was really scared. You jumped at me so suddenly! Whats the problem? I personally have no problem with the fact that Im separated with my parents. In the future, Hao Yue Hall will be your home. Whoever dares bully you will hear from me. Come, lets go in and then talk in more detail. As she spoke, Li Xin pulled Long Hao Chens hand and took big steps towards the center of Hao Yue Hall. The two guards at the entrance exchanged a nce, revealing to each other their shocked expressions. Who is this youth? How can he be so affectionate with our Hell Rose Knight? Be quiet, you dare inquire about the private life of Miss Li Xin? Even if you can turn into someone handsome and as talented as her, it is not set in stone that she will possibly view you in a new, favorable light. Li Xin pulled Long Hao Chen inside of Hao Yue Hall. This ce looked the same as before except that the six Divine Thrones in the center of the Hall shone in a different light in the eyes of Long Hao Chen: the feeling he had upon looking at them waspletely different. With a proud and, at the same time, somewhat sad feeling, he found with a nce, the second throne from the left symbolizing the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. _This is Fathers glory!_ There will inevitably be a day when he will, for sure, possess one of these six Divine Thrones. Long Hao Chens eyes had a certain kind of fire in them. The steps he took with Li Xin felt like they were bing slower before their pace had both halted: Lil Bro, in thepse of a whole year, you grew up so much! Two years from now , Im afraid that you will have already surpassed this Big Sister. Em, you will even be better looking. Its a tragedy. After you have grown up, I wonder how many girls would get confused and disoriented. Li Xins figure straightened. Despite the fact that Long Hao Chen grew up a lot, she was, nevertheless, still one head taller than him. However, when she looked at Long Hao Chen, her heart couldnt help but admire him, going as far as showing signs of an increase in her heartbeat. , 1. Its your chance Li Xin!

Chapter 29: Saint Spiritual Stove (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Hao Chen, who would soon be 12 years old, was different from a year and a half ago: his pretty face and his delicate cheeks looked tougher. From his formerly weak and beautiful appearance, he now looked quite robust. His body was still slender and well proportioned, and his shoulder also grewrger. His appearance was basically wless. _Li Xin, whats up with you? Hes your Lil Bro and hes eight years younger! Dont tell me you want to be like the old cow that eats soft grass_? She rebuked herself in her mind; she was supposed to be quite a resolute person but, at the same time, she was quite fond of Long Hao Chen. In fact, she was the youngest at home and had always yearned for a younger brother, so even though she hadnt been with Long Hao Chen for a long time, in her heart, she felt unusually close to him. Wow, Lil Bro, from what I can remember, your eyes didnt have this color! They should have a dark blue color, so why have they taken this golden color? Long Hao Chen came back to his senses and scratched his head: Father helped me undergo the Divine Awakening and then they became like that. Li Xin became stupefied, Divine Awakening can result in a change of color of your eyes? How is it that I have never heard about this? Ah! You have already undergone the Divine Awakening you say? Then your spiritual energy has already broken through the 200th level! Quickly tell Big Sis, how high is your innate internal spiritual energy level? Long Hao Chen nodded and said: Big Sis, I dont want to fool you; the truth is that my father forbade me to reveal it. Suddenly, Li Xin looked as if she realized something and covered her own month before muttering in a low voice: Heavens! A third step knight below 12 years-old. Lets go, Im bringing you to see Uncle Nn Shu; he will be absolutely frightened by your progress. What is going to frighten me? Hearing a voice that seemed a bit yful, Long Hao Chen and Li Xin turned their head, only to see that Nn Shu has juste down the stairs. Upon seeing Long Hao Chen, Nn Shu was quite surprised, but he quickly took an earnest expression. He hurried in front of Long Hao Chen, looking at him from top to bottom, before asking without restrain: That day that day, wasnt it your teacher that Long Hao Chen was a little surprised, but he quickly understood what he meant and proudly nodded. Nn Shu took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a scorching hot feeling of adoration, I knew it! I knew it! Li Xin answered, unconvinced: Uncle Nn, what are both of you talking secretly about? Nn Shu took a serious expression before asking her: Why havent you already left for practice? You are already a seventh rank knight, so whether you can participate in the Magical Hunting Selection and Competition prior to breaking through the level of Grand Knight will rte to how well you will be able to do in this magical selection. Li Xin stuck out her tongue and looked at Long Hao Chen: Lil Bro, I am going to practice first. In the evening, dinner will be my treat, Ill invite you to eat arge meal. Hihi. As she finished, she turned around and ran out. Nn Shu said with a helpless smile and, at the same time, doting tone: This kid, shell soon be 20 but is still so mischievous. Those whoe from normal households are supposed to marry by this age. Turning back, Nn Shu took a look at Long Hao Chen before nodding and said: Hao Chen,e with me. Long Hao Chen went together with him to his office on the second floor, where Nn Shu couldnt hold back his feeling of anxiety any longer: The Divine Throne of Doom and ughter! Hao Chen, do you know how big this surprise attack of the demon race was? But with a single move from your teacher, their five army forces simply fled from the Alliances border. Hes your teacher right? Would it be possible to let me meet Senior Xing Yu? Long Hao Chen shook his head: Nn Hall Master, he left. This is for you. As he spoke, he took out the letter that his father left to him, passing it to Nn Shu. Nn Shu couldnt hold himself back and took apart the letter before taking a look, and a surprised look quickly appeared on his face. Still looking at the contents of the letter, he revealed a look full of disbelief as he looked at Long Hao Chen, You, you were actually Senior Xing Yus son? But, why would Senior Xing Yu let you study abilities used by Guardian Knights together with us? Why is it not the path of a Retribution Knight? Senior Xing Yu is the number one Retribution Knight of the Knight Alliance! Long Hao Chen said: Nn Hall Master, Father did not want me to reveal everything, so I cannot tell you anything that was not written in his letter. Nn Shu took a deep breath and, while putting the letter away with a great care, he said: Okay. Regardless of his reasons, I cannot disobey Senior Xing Yus instructions. From now onwards, you will be a genuine member of Hao Yue Hall. I will give my best in training you. In his letter, Senior Xing Yu exined that he wanted you to participate in the magical selection. Em, I will follow your guidance. Long Hao Chen straightened his posture and faced Nn Shu with a basic knight salute. Nn Shu pped his shoulders and said: In the future, you will be like Xiner, so call me Uncle Nn. Honestly, the knight skills I will pass on to you are, from my honest point of view, rather imperfect; but I believe that in the near future, you will definitely be able to be the biggest glory of our Hao Yue Hall. Come, I will bring you to a nearby location that I have arranged for you to stay at. Thank you, Uncle Nn. Hao Yue Hall upied an enormous area. It was definitely not limited to what Long Hao Chen could only see: from behind the hall, there was also a big region. Among the three main parts, there was one where knights could rest as well as a public square where they could practice as knights and be passed on knowledge and skills belonging to the Knight Hall. At the center of Hao Yue City, the scheduled arrival of the group of Knight Squires from the viges and small towns to Hao Yue Hall for their examination would happen in three years. Those who were sessful at bing Standard Knights would be able to remain in Hao Yue Hall to study and practice. If they could break through the third step within five years, they would then turn into genuine members of Hao Yue Hall as well as genuine members of the Knight Hall. If they couldnt, the alternative for these Standard Knights would be to join the army or take up another kind of upation in the Knight Temple. Actually, what Long Hao Chen saw was only the facade of Hao Yue Hall. The real Hao Yue Hall was actually hidden behind this facade; 100 Knights and 2,000 Standard Knights lived there, but ording to Nn Shus presentation, besides its outward appearance, Hao Yue Hall actually also had an Earth Knight as well as seven Grand Knights. All those who could advance to the step of Grand Knight would sooner orter leave for the Knight Temple to begin a new journey. Together with the differences in rank, the living conditions also varied. Standard Knights had to share a room among four people, but each Genuine Knight had his own room. Nn Shu arranged Long Hao Chens room to be next to Li Xins room, and after eating, Nn Shu told Long Hao Chen to rest for the remainder of the day. The next day, he woulde back for practice. When people reached the third step, no matter from which Temple they came, they would be treated well because they would be the main force against the demon race in battle. Long Hao Chens room was currently inside of a three-story monastery reserved for Genuine Knights. It was a suite. There was a bedroom, a quiet meditation room for practicing, and a private bathroom for personal hygiene. Inside the meditation room, there was a simple Magic Circle surrounded by a few Light-based magic crystals. Since the light-element affinity inside the room was much higher than outside, it had a supplementary effect when practicing inside. Unaffected by the generosity he received, Long Hao Chen just took out his clothes from the space ring before sorting himself out a bit and went into the meditation room to practice. Practice made time pass quite faster, a whole afternoon quickly passed. Before night fell, a clear yet calm knocking sound on the door could be heard. Who is it? Long Hao Chen regained consciousness from his quiet practice. Lil Bro, its me. Long Hao Chen opened the door and saw Li Xin standing at the entrance. At the moment, she did not wear her light armor but had changed into a white-colored attire, looking as though she had just taken her bath. Her pink colored hair that hung down to her shoulders level was still somewhat wet. Her current appearance looked quite less heroic and much more charming. Come with me, Uncle Nn wanted me to take you to test your spiritual energy, but before I take you there, lets have a good wee dinner. , 1. Idiom, interpretation: The old cow is supposed to be eating old grass and leave soft grass to be eaten by the younger ones, I guess. 2.

Chapter 30: Saint Spiritual Stove (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Oh? Long Hao Chen, who was still immersed in the practice of his internal spiritual energy and studying the knowledge regarding spiritual stoves, gave a simple reply before heading out together with Li Xin. Li Xin had arranged her long hair, using a blue ribbon to tie it into a ponytail; then she left together with Long Hao Chen, going back to the main hall and heading straight to the third floor. Nn Shu was already waiting for them: upon seeing them, he came to Long Hao Chen and said, with a smile, How was your rest? Were you satisfied with the residence? Long Hao Chen first gave Nn Shu a salute, then replied, I really liked the residence. Thank you Uncle Nn. Nn Shu faintly smiled. He was liking this child more and more: he had such a formidable father but didnt show the slightest bit of arrogance. You have alreadypleted the Sacred Awakening, proving that you have the potential to be a knight; however, in order for you to join our Hao Yue Hall, we have to carry out your registration. Therefore, it will be necessary to test your current spiritual energy. Tomorrow, you will have to start studying in the knight ss to learn the skills and abilities of a Guardian Knight. If there is anything that you dont understand,e to me and ask me directly. Yes. Long Hao Chen replied, moving his wrist and slowly drawing the heavy sword from his back. Because his father did not want him to reveal his abilities of a Retribution Knight, he only carried a single heavy sword on his back, the other one was, naturally, stashed inside the spatial ring. Lil Bro, you want to be a Guardian Knight? Li Xin looked puzzled. Long Hao Chenughed, I made this choice aftering back from thest test. The tool used for the test this time was the same as thest time, still that ck stone pir. Start now. Nn Shu nodded at Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen focused his gaze and took one step forward, the heavy sword on his right hand chopping and unleashing a sort of lightning; severalyers of golden light obviously surrounded the de. This was not a skill, but a phenomenon caused by pouring spiritual energy into the de. A _Ping_ sound muffled, and a blue glow softly rose from the walls of the examination hall; whether it was Nn Shu or Li Xin, both nervously stared at the top of the ck stone pir. 268. A huge number appeared there. Nn Shu and Li Xin both gasped at the same time,pletely speechless, and she cried out: You are only two spiritual energy levels away from being a third rank Genuine Knight. Lil Bro, are you really a normal human? A third rank knight whos not twelve years old yet. As a matter of fact, a year and a half ago, when Li Xin met Long Hao Chen for the first time, she also had just reached the level of Genuine Knight. In merely a year and a half, Long Hao Chen had more than doubled his spiritual energy level. Although this growth speed was closely rted to the fact that both his inner and outer spiritual energies had been cultivated, it could be still described as terrifying talent. Long Hao Chen put his sword away and stood motionless; he was not surprised at all by his spiritual energy ranking, but this was obviously not the real spiritual energy he had reached. After fusing the Saint Spiritual Stove, his inner spiritual energy dropped by over fifty levels. Otherwise, his spiritual energy level would be at a level surpassing a fourth rank and almost at the level of a fifth rank Genuine Knight. Genius, a real genius., Nn Shu murmured. Li Xin blinked her big eyes, fiercely looking at Long Hao Chen, and said: Its such a pity that you are so youngpared to me, otherwise, this Big Sis would definitely have chosen to seize you. Looking at her, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but blush. He could still clearly remembered the scene that urred more than a year ago, when Li Xin had grabbed his hand, making it grope some highly located ce that was soft. Lets go, its time to eat. Li Xin pulled Long Hao Chens arm and said some greetings to Nn Shu before running out. Getting out of Hao Yue Hall, Li Xin dragged Long Hao Chen to one of the biggest restaurants in the neighborhood and entered. As soon as they entered, a waiter immediately came to serve them: Wee, Miss Xiner. Li Xin nodded and said: Get us something to eat. The waiter looked somewhat surprised upon seeing Li Xin pull Long Hao Chens arm, Both of you, please follow me onto the second floor. Li Xin shook her head and said: No need, the two of us will be fine in the main dining hall. We will be sitting there, close to the window. Bring out the menu, Im starving to death. While talking, she pulled Long Hao Chen before sitting down. Around this time, the main hall of the restaurant was fairly crowded. Immediately after sitting down with Long Hao Chen, Li Xin ordered food, but she did it in a way that broadened Long Hao Chens horizons. Receiving a menu from the waiter, Li Xin pointed at five or six dishes on it. While Long Hao Chen was still wondering why the waiter did not record her choice of dishes, Li Xin said: Except for these, bring out everything. That was almost a full menu: there were twenty to thirty dishes! Big Sister Xiner, there is really too much. Theres no way we can finish it. Long Hao Chen made haste to say, having understood more about this new older sister. This easygoing side of hers made him feel veryfortable staying around her. Li Xin put on a serious face and said: How can there be no way we can finish? Youre still growing, so you need to eat quite a bit. Come on, what is that? Making people eat more? Clearly its just you who are a big eater. After Li Xin finished ordering food, a somewhat cold, mixed with mockery, voice reached her. Long Hao Chen turned around and saw two men and a woman, three people who had also just entered the restaurant. When the three of them passed near them, they stopped advancing; more exactly, it was the girl who spoke. This young girl was wearing a dark blue robe. It seemed as if elemental energy loomed around the robe, making it glow in a light blue color. On the left side of her chest, there was a three-starred emblem surrounded by six golden stripes. _A magical Robe. Is this a Mage?_ Long Hao Chen only knew about mages through his Fathers teachings, this was the first time he saw one in his life. Three stars plus six stripes, that was the mark of a third step, sixth rank vocation. So this was a Genuine Mage. The three first steps of the vocation of mage were named Mages Assistant, Magical Student, and Genuine Mage. _Bang_ , Li Xin who violently pounded the table stood up, and angrily said: Lin Jia Lu, who didya describe as a big eater? Lin Jia Lu snorted, Who is the one who eats so much? Long Hao Chen, who at first paid principally attention to the magical robe, took another closer look at the mages looks. Lin Jia Lu and Li Xin could be described as rare beauties, yet their styles werepletely different. Li Xin, straightforward and full of vigor, was a kind of robust beauty. On the other hand, Lin Jia Lu had a moredylike, clever look. White skin, medium build, long light blue colored hair letting loose behind her back, graceful eyebrows, beautiful nose, a pair of perfect, identical blue eyes, and her gentle face; all of those easily made people feel like treasuring her. However, she was holding a 0,66 meter (2 Chi) long magic ck wand made of wood in her hands, on top of which sprouted branches shaped like a small hand, just big enough to hold a fist-sized blue water gem. The magical elemental power that could be felting out of the magic wand was much more intense than the one from her robe. Are trying to pick a fight or what? With anger sparking in her eyes, Li Xin stepped in front of Lin Jia Lu. The two young men who arrived together with Lin Jia Lu rushed two steps forward, one on each side of Lin Jia Lu, looking rather nervous. Both of them were leather-armor-d warriors, obviously Lin Jia Lus bodyguards. What mages feared the most was being attacked. Despite possessing with magic a formidable destructive power, they were very vulnerable. Therefore, a good mage would always have attendants following to protect them. You twodies, please calm down. Exactly a month ago, you two received punishments from the Head Officer and the Minister. The warrior on the left nervously reminded. Hmph! Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu reacted almost at the same time, ring at each other. , 1.

Chapter 31: Radiant Shield (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Li Xin voice trembled with anger: Last month? You dare speak aboutst month? If my father and Uncle Lin had not arrived so quickly, I would have killed you with a single sh. Lin Jia Lu sneered: If my father had not protected you, I wouldve turned you into an ice statue. Li Xin disdained: If you have the skills to beat me, then dont use any magic equipment. Lin Jia Lu contemptuously rebutted: If you have the skills, dont summon your unicorn mount. Seemingly not able to stifle her anger anymore, Li Xin moved her palm towards her back, drawing out one of her two swords she challenged the other girl, Lets go outside. This time I will not summon Rose, lets see if you can do anything against me. Lin Jia Lu then handed her wand to the warrior apprentice next to her, Well then, I will not use my wand either, Ill let you see thisdys casting speed. Youngdies, the Head Officer and the Minister have already warned you that if the two of you were to raise a ruckus again,then both of you will be getting detentions. Cold sweat broke out the warriors face as they stood between the girls who showed forced smiles mixed with frustration, having no choice but to agree. Upon hearing the word detention, Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu immediately showed signs of restraint, once again a Hmph escaped their lips. Li Jia Lu sneered: Consider yourself lucky this time. Lucky? Thisdy is a seventh ranked knight, unlike someone here whos only a sixth ranked mage. Im not sure whos the lucky one here. Are you looking for a fight? Alright! Lin Jia Lu, would you dare make a bet with me? Lin Jia Lu grunted and said: What bet? Li Xin pointed at Long Hao Chen standing behind her, This is my little brother, hell go for me. You also send someone from your side. Since we are not duelling directly, the problem of getting detention does not rise. Long Hao Chen had been hidden by Li Xins body before, but now that Li Xin had moved aside, Lin Jia Lu could finally see him. Up on seeing the boy, Lin Jia Lus eyes sparkled. Long Hao Chen had a beautiful, near-perfect face and a unique pair of rare clear golden eyes, it felt like he had some more imperceptible qualities that were enough to make her dumbstruck. Looking at Long Hao Chen, then at Li Xin, Lin Jia Lu toned down a bit, asking Li Xin: Is she a girl crossdressed as a guy like you? Long Hao Chens face twitched, he dropped his hair and his brows wrinkled: Im a boy. He thought to himself, _why cant you people stop being like that?! Why does everyone see me as a girl? Cant you people not see that I have an Adams apple? Cant you have a littlemon sense?!_ Li Xin triumphantly said: So? My little brother is handsome, right? Have you ever seen anyone as handsome as he is? Lin Jia Lu, curling her lips, said: So you have this kind of hobby. You like them younger, eh? However, you are much older than he is. Dont you have any shame? You Li Xin angrily said: Tell me, do you want to bet or not? Let me tell you the truth: my little brother is also from Hao Yue Hall. He just joined today. Lin Jia Lu was somewhat surprised, Arent you making a mistake? You want to send him out? How old is he? Is he even fifteen years old? Li Xin said: Dont worry about that, just tell me if you want to bet or not. If you dont dare, quickly go away; dont ruin your Aunts eating mood. Whose Aunt? Lets bet if its what you want. Isnt he just a little kid? Xu Tiankong, you go. Lin Jia Lu didnt know herself why she and Li Xin were always at odds; it was obvious that they could not stand each others provocation. Li Xin said: Lets duel outside so as to not affect other peoples business. Also, since its a bet, lets put something at stake. Lin Jia Lu said: What do you want to bet? Li Xin who had clearly decided long ago what she wanted to bet, pulled out a white-colored crystal and said: Ill bet this magic crystal from the light-element fifth ranked beast Elegant Gold Tiger against the Radiant Shield from your houses business. Lin Jia Lu fretted, Are you crazy? She also vaguely felt that something was off. An Elegant Gold Tigers magic crystal was fairly rare. Among the fifth-ranked magic crystals, it was one of the best ones. Even though the Radiant Shield was good, its value was not as high as this magic crystal at all. So why was she so confident? The magic crystal kept bouncing in Li Xins hand, she looked at Lin Jia Lu and sneered: If you are afraid to bet, then get out of my sight and from now on, remember to take another path when you meet me. What is there for me to be afraid of? Fine, Lets bet. Lin Jia Lu impulsively agreed. Long Hao Chen had been standing next to them, without saying anything. He did not know what caused the tension between Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu. But he realized that even though these two were really noisy, they still had managed to keep their cool, and they were not really enemies either. Li Xin had been very nice to him. For the sake of his Big Sister, he could not refuse. The group then got out of the restaurant together. Li Xin, pulling Long Hao Chens arm, whispered: Lil Bro, Im so sorry for making you do this even though you havent eaten yet. However, you have to try your best! Sis did it with good intentions, you must win. Long Hao Chen clearly saw there was some slyness in Li Xins eyes, so he quickly nodded: Big Sister, Ill try my best. On the other side, Lin Jia Lu was also cheering her own attendant: Xu Tiankong this little kid seems to have some skills, but you have to win. If you win, Ill give you a good sword. However, remember not to hurt him. Xu Tiankong helplessly said: Miss, can you promise me that after the duel ends, regardless of the oue, you wont cause problems with Miss Xiner anymore? Otherwise, I will have to report it to the Head Officer. Lin Jia Lu impatiently replied: I know. In front of the restaurant, there was an empty lot reserved for parking carriages; at this time, there werent many carriages so there was just enough space for them to hold the duel. Long Hao Chen stepped forward with a heavy sword already in his hand. On the other side, Xu Tian Kong also moved forward. Long Hao Chen looked at Lin Jia Lu and said: Sister Lin, Ive never faced a mage. Im looking forward to your guidance. Huh? Both Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu were stunned. Li Xin quickly said: Lil Bro, calm down. She had seen Long Hao Chen fight. She knew that his fighting experience was not bad and his spiritual energy ranking wasnt low either. Lin Jia Lus two guards had, at best, just reached the third step as warriors. If the two had not mastered any sacred skills, it would be difficult for them to win against Long Hao Chen. However, Lin Jia Lu waspletely different. She and Li Xin were considered prodigies of Hao Yue City. Looking at Li Xin, Long Hao Chen said in a serious tone: Big Sister, my father told me that first hand experiences, in many cases, are more important than training. I want to try dueling a mage. So please guide me well! Lin Jia Lu went around the puzzled Xu Tian Kong and suspiciously asked: Kiddo, you want to duel me? If so, your sister Xiner will surely lose. Long Hao Chen slowly lifted his heavy sword, shook his head, and replied: One cannot know if one does not try. Big Sister Xiner, may I? Li Xin looked at the calm and decisive posture that seemed to belong to someone much older than Long Hao Chen. She then smiled: Good, thats my Lil Bro! Show her how strong you are. Lin Jia Lu, dont cry when you lose. Im gonna lose? Lin Jia Lu stared at Li Xin, without taking out her wand, she pointed at Long Hao Chen and said: Thene. Sister Lin, please. Long Hao Chen spoke, lightly tapping his heavy sword on his right shoulder, exercising a knights salute, pointing his toes downwards; he started charging towards Lin Jia Lu. Not retreating, Lin Jia Lu quickly and quietly recited her spell,. There was ayer of pale-blue light spreading out from her body. Pointing her right index finger at Long Hao Chen, an [Ice Ball] was shot straight at him, all of this happening in less than a second. , 1. gunainai; a Chinese way of speaking, to insist on the fact shes superior *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Radiant Light Shield (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen slightly lowered his brows and, without trying to dodge, he approached the Ice Ball, intending to meet it head-on. However, as if it knew what Long Haochen was trying to do, the Ice Ball suddenly sank. With a cracking sound, the attack targeted the ground. A blue halo of light immediately covered an area within a two-thirds of a meter diameter, and Long Haochens charge was interrupted simultaneously. With a chilling sensation on his foot, his steps halted. Long Haochens body stumbled as if he had lost his bnce. Lin Jialus face revealed a smile filled with self-confidence as she chanted another incantation, and a thin blue light enveloped her. That was the 2nd step mage spell Ice Mantle. But her smiling face quickly became filled with surprise. Long Haochen had arrived before her in an instant, and, suddenly, a golden radiance appeared below her with a cracking sound. Ayer of the ground was unexpectedly frozen below his foot before being broken by his foot stepping on it, letting his body return to a steady state. He resumed his charge, but his speed, surprisingly, was not dramatically reduced. Instead, it had tremendously increased. His hand began executing a Thorny Charge, as he prepared to pierce the cover of ice with a stab. A 3rd step Knight! Regardless of whether it was Lin Jialu or the two retainers, all of them became bbergasted. To be able to use the Sacred Light element internal spiritual energy was something only a 3rd step knight was capable of. Was that youth, who looked like he was probably not even fifteen yet, unexpectedly already a 3rd step knight? Puu! Puu! Puu! A series of sounds of something hitting ice echoed. Although Lin Jialu was extremely frightened, she did not stop her actions. Nheless, an Ice Ring made of white colored ice appeared all around her body and Long Haochens formidable thrust merely pushed her back. The Ice element spell, Ice Ring was the spell mostmonly used by Ice Mages to deal with closebat vocations. Even without using her magic wand, Lin Jialu could still cast the spell swiftly and consistently; that made her well suited to her title as a genius. Long Haochen, who was just released, became startled. He realized how different a fight against a mage waspared to fighting a warrior. At that very moment, ten icicles rose at lightning speed by his side, blocking his route from the left as well as the right. The frozen air made Long Haochen feel a chill and he felt as if the speed of his internal spiritual energy had slowed somewhat. Lin Jialus fort was her calm mind. She was almost equal to Li Xin. What she didnt know was that, although this little fellow was a 3rd step knight, she would not necessarily be a match for a person as gifted by the Heavens as him. From the point of view of Li Xin, who was standing at the other side, it appeared that while being caged, Long Haochen would definitely be restrained by ice magic, thus reducing hisbat ability. And, even before he could escape from the surrounding barrier, Lin Jialu would have probably beaten him. However, at that moment, Long Haochen had already jumped up. This silly kid. Li Xin could not help but whisper. While dueling a mage like her, why did you jump up while you are still within her range? Isnt that making yourself a perfect target? Lin Jialus purpose when casting Ice Cage was to make him jump up. It seemed that he really didnt have any experience inbat against a mage. Seeing the boy predictably leap into the air, Lin Jialu showed a knowing smile. She started bombarding Long Haochen with Ice Balls aimed straight at him. She was already going easy on him. Had she not used the first rank Ice Ball but the second rank Ice Edge or Ice Cone instead, the attack would have been even more powerful. However, the next move of Long Haochen surprised the audience once again. Long Haochens body emitted a pale-gold aura, which spiraled upwards. He held the heavy sword with both hands to lift it over his head, setting off a golden aura that added a kind of divine feeling to his already handsome face. Every single Ice Ball that was flying at Long Haochen disappeared around 33 centimeters away from him. Even the cold air that each of them released was unable to pass through that golden aura. Lightning Cut, two words instantly popped up in Lin Jialus mind. Her smile immediately froze. She then cast another Ice Mantle without hesitation. Long Haochen dropped down from the sky. Brandishing his heavy sword, the pale-gold aura suddenly became more intense, forming a 33-centimeter-wide light-edged de around the sword. Lightning Cut was a 3rd step knight skill practised by both Retribution Knights and Guardian Knights and consumed 50 units of spiritual energy. By withdrawing holy power from the body, one can condense it into a de to attack enemies. The attacking distance and power are proportional to ones own level of spiritual energy. This was the first long-range offensive ability relying on internal spiritual energy that knights could use. Even though it consumed the same amount of spiritual energy as Shining Sr Strike, its power was a lot lessparatively. The reason was that Lightning Cut was a long-range ability that could be used as both an offensive and a defensive measure. Even so, only Genuine Knights who were 5th ranked or above could use Lightning Cut to its full potential. As a knight ranked up and had more spiritual energy, the power of the skill also increased. The golden de of light collided against the icy shield as a snapping sound rang out. The Ice Mantle instantly broke, and, simultaneously, the de of light emitted by Lightning Cut also disappeared. Long Haochens actions did not stop at that. As soon as hended on both of his feet, he immediately initiated another charge towards Lin Jialu. As she realized that her Ice Mantle had managed to block the Lightning Cut, Lin Jialu felt relieved. She thought to herself, Fortunately, this kids spiritual energy level isnt that high. Otherwise, it would have been hard to stop that one attack. Ive underestimated him! However, as she blocked the Lightning Cut, another smile appeared on Lin Jialus face; she cast Ice Ring once more to stop Long Haochens assault. Since Lightning Cut consumed 50 units of spiritual energy, it was obvious that this kid did not have much internal spiritual energy left, so as long as she could stop another one of his attacks, his loss was confirmed. The Ice Ring appeared in a blink and Long Haochens stance suddenly changed. His right foot stomped strongly on the ground, interrupting his charge and stopping him, as he lifted the heavy sword up in front of him. Ice Ring split around Long Haochen; however, he was not pushed back this time. A pale gold-coloredyer of light now epassed his entire body. The heavy sword arrived, gently stopping right above Lin Jialus shoulder. Hiss! Lin Jialus retainers both gasped almost at the same time. Lin Jialu, who was prepared to continue, also froze in space. Although Long Haochens heavy sword did not hit her, she could clearly feel the touch of its divine aura. Sister Lin, please give in. Long Haochen took a few steps back, standing there with his sword withdrawn. Impossible This is simply impossible! Even 4th step vocations would be pushed back when facing against my Ice Ring! Lin Jialu had a look of disbelief on her face. Looking at Long Haochen, her smile from before had changed into a shocked look filled with iprehension. I Have lost? Being Haoyue Citys genius female mage and losing to someone so much younger than her, how could she continue to live without feeling ashamed? Even though she had been lenient to the boy by not using any magical equipment, she had lost even with the strength of a 6th rank 3rd step mage. It wasnt only Lin Jialu herself; even Li Xin was puzzled at what had happened. However, because she knew more about Long Haochen than Lin Jialu did, after a brief moment, she hade to an understanding. Divine Obstruction! As soon as Lin Jialu used Ice Ring for the second time, Long Haochen had used Divine Obstruction! *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Radiant Shield (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Compared to what he could do a year and a half ago, it was safe to say that, now Long Hao Chen had acquired a higher degree of technical proficiency in [Divine Obstruction]. In fact, even though [Divine Obstruction] was a powerful skill, perfect timing was crucial when using it. His use of the skill onlysted for a brief moment, therefore, it was necessary for him to predict urately the opponents move to effectively use it. By using [Divine Obstruction], Long Hao Chen was able to resist [Ice Ring] hence was not knocked back. Lin Jia Lu never expected such a move, ultimately leading to his victory. If Lin Jia Lu had decided to use her magic equipment, or if she had been more careful from the beginning, Long Hao Chen could hardly be considered as an opponent, considering that he had been depleted of a lot of internal spiritual energy to fuse with the Spiritual Stove. However, Long Hao Chens young age confused her, plus he was using the heavenly countering spell, [Divine Obstruction], so Lin Jia Lu met a tragic end. Li Xin was shocked at how well Long Hao Chen had used [Divine Obstruction], but what she did not know was that it was the result of his extreme daily training with Long Xing Yu. Thanks to the daily two hours ofbat exercises, Long Hao Chen could already use intuitively the [Divine Obstruction], and predict perfectly the opponents moves based only on his intuition. Looking at the nk and troubled Lin Jia Lu, Li Xin broke out of her initial shock andughed: What are you calling impossible? You know nothing. If you cant even beat my Lil Bro, dont even think of challenging me. Come on, you lost, so fulfill your end of the deal. Haha, that felt good. While speaking, Li Xin grabbed Long Hao Chen and gave him a forceful kiss on the cheek. Long Hao Chen was stupefied; the next moment, his handsome face suddenly flushed with embarrassment. Li Xin couldnt help but smile, Lil Bro, you look so cute when you are embarrassed. Though, you look cooler when you are fighting. Lets get back to eating. With Lin Jia Lus retreat, Li Xin was in a good mood. Together with Long Hao Chen, they had a scrumptious meal. They ordered a lot of food, but the portion she ate was unexpectedly a lot bigger than Long Hao Chens, even though he was still growing. The two of them unexpectedly almost finished everything on the table by themselves. Woah~, Im so full, Lil Bro. If we have dinner together every day from now on, Sis will definitely gain weight. Long Hao Chen had already recovered from being so suddenly kissed. The warm feeling when her cold, soft lips touched his cheeks onlysted for a little moment, but this feeling was deeply imprinted in his mind. After his parents left, that was the first time he felt the warmth of having a family. _It is so nice to have a Big Sister_. Big Sister, what exactly happened that caused such friction between you and Sister Lin? Long Hao Chen curiously asked. Li Xin grunted and said: I get pissed off just at mentioning it. Originally, when we were young, we did not talk to each other much, but we were still good friends. About five years ago, we fell in love with the same guy, someone from the Mage Temple. He was not as handsome as you, but he was still good-looking. He was also talented. At that time, Lin Jia Lu and I were still good friends. When I knew that she also liked him, I was ready to give up on him. However, that guy came up to me, saying that Lin Jia Lu used her familys power to force him to be with her and that for his future advancement, he had to yield. Since then, I have yet to see that guy again. I then went to ask Lin Jia Lu about it, and we had a quarrel. She said that I was a liar, that I was despicable and all other sorts of things. The more we quarreled, the angrier we became; then we came to blows. Since then, our rtionship has be like what you just saw. Who is the despicable one now Long Hao Chen said unconfidently: It might just have been a misunderstanding. Big Sister, I think you should talk it out with Sister Lin one more time. Li Xin said: Misunderstanding? That guy has disappeared. She must have harmed him. Well, lets not talk about that anymore,remembering these things of the past will only annoy me more. However, this Lin Jia Lu, although annoying, always keeps her word. Haha, we won big time. The Radiant Light Shield will be a very suitable shield for you to use, even after youll reach the fifth step as a knight. Are you giving it to me? Long Hao Chen seemed a bit surprised. Li Xin said: Of course its for you! Why else would I make a bet with her? I dont need her things. Didnt you want to be a Guardian Knight? What kind of Guardian Knight does not have a shield? There arent many decent shields you can get from Hao Yue Hall. However, with this Radiant Light Shield, your defense will be improved by a huge margin. Long Hao Chen suddenly felt as if his heart was bursting with warmth. He really did not expect that the fact she made him fight and the bet she made against Lin Jia Lu were to get him a decent shield. Li Xin sighed, ying with her fingers, somewhat embarrassed: It is all my dads fault. He refused to give me more pocket money. Otherwise, I would directly have bought you new equipment. Why would I have to use this method? Big Sister C Long Hao Chen let out a soft cry. Li Xin smiled, Whats wrong? Why have your eyes be red? Ahhh, you are such a sentimental little boy! Come on, lets go back. You have to start school tomorrow, and Big Sis still has some advice to give you. When they arrived at the entrance of the Knight Hall, there was a middle-aged man who was respectfully waiting for them there with a huge bag in his hand. Miss Xiner, my Lady ordered me to bring this to you. The middle-aged man gave the bag to Li Xin, then turned away. Looking at the man leaving, Li Xinughed: I cant imagine how regretful Lin Jia Lu must have felt about this. It looks like she does not have much more pocket money than I do. After returning to Hao Yue Hall, Li Xin followed Long Hao Chen directly to his room. Lil Bro! Look! It is the Radiant Shield. Li Xin spoke while excitingly opening the bag in her hand, then gave the shield to Long Hao Chen. It was a circr shield about 0.83 meters (two chis, five cuns) in diameter, a medium-sized shield. The whole shield was dark silver colored, making it look somewhat ancient. At the center of the shield, there was a round gem about the size of an egg of pigeon. The gem gave off a pale gold color. Using the crystal as the center, a sun was engraved on the shield with patterns fanning out all the way to the edge. It appeared that the shield was not too heavy. There was, however, a pure light aura emitting from it. Quickly try it on. Li Xin handed the Radiant Light Shield to Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen did not decline. When he recognized someone as one of his loved ones, he would never refuse a present from them; at the same time, he would be willing to give his all for them. Having received the Radiant Shield, Long Hao Chen realized that, behind the shield, there was not just a simple handle; it was something simr to a gauntlet. He slid his left hand in. The gauntlet seemed to be a bit too big, covering his entire arm. His hand reached all the way inside the gauntlet, just enough to grab a metal handle that was inside the gauntlet. As a result, the shieldpletely covered his arm. One could say it fit him in general. The shield, and especially that faint light aura that it released, gave a veryfortable feeling to Long Hao Chen. Li Xin came forward to adjust the gauntlet on his arm. Inside the gauntlet, there were a series of buttons to adjust its size so that it would fit Long Hao Chens arm better. After adjusting, it seemed as if Long Hao Chen and his shield were a unified entity when Long Hao Chen waved his arm again. The Radiant Shield was not that heavy. After gently waving his arm and feeling its weightless nature, Long Hao Chen immediately fell in love with it. Li Xin said: The Radiant Shield, by itself, can defend against direct attacks of opponents with a spiritual energy level lower than 300. After pouring inside your internal spiritual energy, it will be enhanced. The light auraing from the shield can protect you against negative effects from most magic spells, for example, the freezing effect of Lin Jia Lus ice magic. It is also very powerful whenbined with some of a Guardian Knights skills. Look at this gem, it is a Harmony Crystal. With such a crystal, as long as the shield does not take too much damage, it should be able to repair itself. This shield might not be the strongest shield under the fifth rank, but it is definitely the most practical magic shield. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Radiant Light Shield (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Hao Chen tried to transfer some of his spiritual energy into the shield and at that moment, the sun pattern in the center of the Radiant Shield shone brightly, making the entire exterior of the shield emit a thin gold radiance, but this light aura didnt consume much of Long Hao Chens spiritual energy. Big Sister, thank you so much. said Long Hao Chen from the bottom of his heart. Li Xin smiled: What are you thanking me for? You are the one who won this. Okay, Ill have to tell you about what you will study in our Hall. After staying for an hour in Long Hao Chens room, she finally left. After her introduction, Long Hao Chens knowledge about Hao Yue Hall improved drastically. Bright morning. After Long Hao Chen took a simple bath, he ate the breakfast that was brought to him; only Knights were treated with such a preferential treatment, on the other hand, Standard Knights had to go to the dining room. After having his breakfast, he went to the Knight Main Hall on this early morning. The Knight Main Hall consisted of two floors, it was not too big at all. The first floor was used for the Guardian Knights lectures and the second was for the Retribution Knights. When Long Hao Chen came, the ssroom where lessons were supposed to be given to Guardian Knights was absolutely empty. He put down his heavy sword and his Radiant Shield in a corner of the room and calmly waited. Other knights began to arrive one after another to the ssroom, and in a little while the room becamepletely full. Long Hao Chen counted; there were about 80 knights around him, but there were a lot more Guardian Knights than Retribution Knights. Long Hao Chen was sitting in the corner, but he still paid attention, just like the others who focused their attention on him. These numerous knights all wore imposing attire and couldnt help but look at him with a strange eye. It was because he was much younger than them. Take a look, whos this little guy? Wow, that cant be a Radiant Shield? His family must be quite rich! But one shouldnt be able toe to our Knight Main Hall just because he has money, can it be that hes the rtive of an instructor? Its hard to say. I heard yesterday from my little brother who was on duty that our Hell Rose brought a good-looking guy. Probably this little fellow here. Only, how can the Hall Master permit him to take ss together with us? Arge young knight came in front of Long Hao Chen and gently asked: Little brother, arent you at the wrong ce? This is the Knight Main Hall, the ssroom of the Standard Knights is on the other side. From these knights point of view, Long Hao Chen could be considered a great genius if he was already a Standard Knight at this age. Long Hao Chen got up hurriedly and politely turned towards his side, performing a knight salute: Hello, I came to the Knight Main Halls ss. My name is Long Hao Chen. As the knight looked like she still had something to say, a hoarse voice could be heard: ss will now begin. The knights were quite frightened, and as if they feared this hoarse voiced master, they hurried to turn away and get back to their seats. Long Hao Chens gaze turned to the direction of the speaker; there stood a tall and thin middle-aged man with a circr shield on his back. This middle aged man also looked at him. Do you have a problem? The middle aged man calmly asked. Long Hao Chen quickly shook his head. The middle aged man continued in a serious and powerful voice: Then why are you standing there? Long Hao Chen was startled by this unexpectedly loud voice and hurried to sit down. The whole ssroom waspletely silent; each of the knight looked respectfully at the middle-aged man. The gazes directed toward him seemed to bepletely filled with fear. Little neer, I am Ye Hua, the main Instructor of Hao Yue Hall. I dont care how much of a genius you are, but as soon as you have arrived here, you have be an ordinary knight. If you cannot reach my expectations, I will chase you back to the Standard Knights ce. Understood? Yes. Long Hao Chen stood up once more and performed another authentic knight salute in the direction of the head Instructor. An ordinary knight? These few words created an uproar among the knights in the room. This youth, who was not even 15 yet, was a Knight? Wasnt this a mistake? Everyone, stand up! Ye Hua suddenly shouted. As a reaction to this sharp voice, all the knights rapidly got up. Ye Hua coldly looked at them, Do you have so few prospects? What did I teach you? What is the most important thing to be a Guardian Knight? To stay cool-headed in whichever circumstances. The crowd of knights loudly agreed. And what have you aplished up till now? Ye Huas gaze intimidated these knights. This time, no one answered. Ye Hua said: Put on your heavy equipment and run 50ps around the training field. Otherwise, you wont remember this lesson. Right now, hurry up. Yes. No one dared refute. The Guardian Knights started trotting one by one out of the ssroom. Long Hao Chen was also quite intimidated. He did not expect this Head Instructor to be so hot-blooded. Why on Earth are you standing still? Arent you a part of their group? Go together with them. Ye Hua pointed angrily at Long Hao Chen as he shouted. Yes. The equipment warehouse was in the basement of the Knight Hall. After Long Hao Chen received a set, he couldnt help but feel like crying. Since he was too young, his body was far from having grown enough. The heavy armor that was intended to protect ones whole body was heavier than 50 kilograms (100 Jin) and could not be worn because his body was too small. He could only use it to cover his body, wrapping it from above, and he still had to use both his hands to carry the armor from both sides if he did not want it to fall down. A metallic ringing sound resounded from afar. The training field was circr and 666 meters (200 Zhang) long. In addition to the requirement of having to wear heavy equipment, even for these 200th external spiritual energy level knights, this was not an easy feat. Ye Hua who stood in the middle of the training ground, looked at him running, Dont fall behind. The ones who drop out will have to run fifty moreps. Long Hao Chen,e this way. He obviously knew his name from Nn Shu. Yes, Instructor. Long Hao Chen dragged the heavy armor as he ran in front of Ye Hua. Ye Hua said lightly: You are a neer, so you still dont know the rule here: I am going to give you a chance and as long as your attacks can push me back, you wont have to run together with them. Hearing these words, the knights who were running in circle clearly hastened their pace, no one dared to look towards Ye Hua. A lot of looks, however, were filled with pity. Yes. Long Hao Chen quickly stripped off the heavy armor on his body; he had his shield on his left hand and his sword on his right hand. He had a first-ss practicalbat experience, had experimented enough pressuring situations, and could utilize his internal spiritual energy. The key point was that he did not fear losing. At worst, he would just have to runps. Ye Hua picked up his shield and, without paying attention to the impressive Radiant Shield that Long Hao Chen was using, he coldly said: You can attack first. Yes, please give me pointers, Instructor. The left-handed shield and right-handed sword didnt seem to suit Long Hao Chen too much. After all, it was the first time he was using a shield and that gave him an awkward sensation. Still, from his point of view, having a shield was better than being empty handed. Long Hao Chen had decided beforeing to Hao Yue Hall that he would not rashly fight using dual swords against people. Only when he would be practicing by himself would he use the abilities of Retribution Knights. Long Xing Yu gave his son a very important practical pointer when training him: he had to be careful never to let the opponent realize his weaknesses. He rushed with a neat charge; Long Hao Chens pace raised and, just like a little leopard, he rushed towards Ye Hua. His speed wasnt the best, but his steps were quite steady. His pupils locked onto Ye Huas body and, using his first ss observation skills, he analyzed the Instructor. Last evening, if we put aside the fact that Lin Jia Lu went easy on him, the most important assets that enabled Long Hao Chen to achieve victory were his excellent judgement and calction capabilities that were both built with his excellent mental strength. , 1.

Chapter 35: Asura Ye (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Looking at Long Hao Chen who was facing him, Ye Hua nodded to himself, _This kids assault has not only met the standard, but he has also an excellent attack rhythm; he is not going all-out, and this way, his attack power is a little weaker, but there are more patterns in his attacks._ While shifting his body, taking advantage of the powering from his assault, Long Hao Chen pointed the heavy sword in his hand forward; he then made an ordinary thrust. A silver-white aura seemed to have appeared almost instantly on the heavy sword and at the same time, a [Pure White Edge] wasunched. When the heavy sword was only less than a third of a meter (1 chi) away, Ye Hua moved. His movement was very swift; right hand behind his back, he lift the shield on his left hand to block in front. He did not directly block Long Hao Chens heavy sword; instead, he slightly tilted his shield on contact. _Dang~_ , Long Hao Chen only felt that the sword grazed the shield, there was no direct hit. His sword just slipped past the tilted shield. The [Pure White Edge] grazed the face of Ye Huas shield, bringing out a series of sparks. The next moment, he saw a big shield closing on his face. _Bang_ , Long Hao Chen was knocked flying back seven or eight meters away and he fell terribly on the ground. During this whole process, he protected his body by using the Radiant Shield just in time before being sent flying away in the next instant. Before standing up, Long Hao Chen started crawling on the ground, with apletely stupefied face. Ye Hua wasnt holding any weapon, he only had a shield, but this shield was enough to end the battle and beat him. Trash. Ye Hua coldly spit out this word. Long Hao Chens gaze was frozen; as soon as he picked up his heavy sword, he saluted once more Ye Hua, Instructor, please give me your guidance. After saluting him, he charged once more. The knights who were running in circles were all peeping at this exchange of blows, and seeing Long Hao Chen get up after being beaten up like that, they could only look at each other in nk dismay. This little fellow is quite capable! It is the first time that I see someone in our Hall who dares challenge Asura Ye twice in a row. How could they know how cruel his training with Long Xing Yu was? Falling down once was nothing to him. In addition, it was his Radiant Shield that had absorbed most of the strikes power. Long Xing Yu had trained him to be more and more courageous every time the boy tasted defeat; he was taught to learn from each defeat and find ways to improve himself. Long Hao Chen charged once more, his steps briefly adjusting; his speed had clearly lowered, but his steps were even steadier. This time, the skill he used was not [Thorny Charge], but [Lightning Thrust]. With a sh of golden light, the internal spiritual energy from his Sacred Awakening burst out. The difference between [Lightning Thrust] and [Thorny Charge] was that [Thorny Charge] was a simple charge forward, whereas [Lightning Thrust] could easily change directions. Internal spiritual energy? Third step? The knights who were running in circles were bbergasted. There wasnt any change on Ye Huas face. He moved as before, his shield preparing to parry him the same way as before. The heavy sword sent out a crisp sound as it came in contact with the shield but, this time, it was retrieved by Long Hao Chen after having just been in contact for a short moment and his bnce hadnt been lost yet. However, the shield on Ye Huas hand was drawing nearer to Long Hao Chen. It was just like his previous move, a bump. Lunge and shield block; Long Hao Chen raised his Radiant Shield, firmly blocking in front of him. _Bang_ , Long Hao Chens body was sent flying away once more. This time, he fell much more brutally than thest instance, panting for a few seconds before standing up once more. Do you know why I could beat you just now? asked Ye Hua in a deste tone. Long Hao Chens brows wrinkled as he answered without hesitation: Because you have trained much more than me. Ye Hua nodded: Correct. And do you believe that it is unfair that I am relying on my internal spiritual energy to fight you, even if I am not using any skills? Long Hao Chen nodded once more after hesitating for a little moment. Ye Hua snorted, full of disdain: Fool. On the battlefield, if you meet a foe that is much more powerful than you, will youin like that? If so, you will only be able toin in Hell. Facing a much more powerful foe, what you need to do is to surpass your limits to make up for the gap. Defeat the opponent by all means, even unfair ones, in order to defend yourself. Long Hao Chen briefly pondered before showing a determined look on his talented face and strongly nodded: I understand, thank you Instructor. As he said that, he faced him once more, performing a salute, Please give me your guidance, Instructor. Ye Hua answered in a calm voice: Do you really understand? Come at me once more. This time, I will be using even more strength to push you down. Please give me your guidance, Instructor. Long Hao Chen shouted. His gaze was brimming with a stubborn and persistent radiance in contrast with his cute appearance and pretty face. Come. As before, Ye Hua showed a cold expression. Charge and jump. This time, Long Hao Chen had leapt very high, and his heavy sword which shone brightly moved towards Ye Hua. Fool. Ye Hua gave an angry look to Long Hao Chen. Knowing that the opponent is far stronger yet jumping into air? Wasnt this the same as seeking for death? But the anger that filled Ye Huas eyes quickly became surprise instead. Because at this moment, Long Hao Chen who had jumped, had unexpectedly arrived above Ye Huas head, the heavy sword in his hand targeting Ye Huas back. But it looked like Long Hao Chen had already lost his bnce. Still, Ye Hua couldnt possibly expect his next move because he was looking at Long Hao Chens eyes. The eyes of Long Hao Chen who had just failed naturally did have a look that was as inflexible and firm as before. Making a half turn, Ye Huas shield swept in the air. Right then, Long Hao Chen who looked as if he had lost his bnce a while ago suddenly moved. The shallow light that was, till then, emitted by the heavy sword in his hand suddenly vanished. The Radiant Shield was ced in front of his chest, and he made a little curving movement in the sky. The spiritual energy issued by Ye Hua was enormous; his shield looked as if it had changed color, even though he moved it slowly, he could easily manage to block Long Hao Chen. His whole body had rotated at the same time. _Puff_ , the heavy sword was pushed into the ground as an imposing light appeared around Long Hao Chen. [Heavenly Battle Array], a third step knight skill. Ye Hua didnt imagine that Long Hao Chen would use such a method at close quarters. His body was strong and flexible enough to forcibly change his stature while still in the air. At the same time, he raised his shield. A spiritual energy of the level of this [Heavenly Battle Array] couldnt possibly harm Ye Hua, but the impact was on his shield arm, making him unable to adjust his shields position. He also let out a huge burst of gold color energy from his body to form a protective aura. Using the heavy sword buried into the ground, Long Hao Chenpleted the [Heavenly Battle Array]. At the same time, he stabilized his body and used the Radiant Shield on his left hand to make a horizontal strike. With a burst of bright golden lighting from the Radiant Shield, the brightest one used since he first attacked, Long Hao Chen struck at Ye Huas waist. _Pa_ Ye Huas right hand that was behind his back all this time finally moved, grabbing the Radiant Shield, but the surprise look in his eye suddenly became that of astonishment. A dazzling golden light came from his hand. He also released a body-protecting spiritual energy. However, upon the impact with the golden light, he was pushed back half a step momentarily. Long Hao Chen was also surprised; he had done everything he could. The burst of lighting from Radiant Shield was [Shining Sunlight Strike], a fourth step knight skill. This was also his strongest skill so far. Because the shields edge was not sharp, Ye Hua could grab it with a single hand; this showed how big the gap between them was. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Asura Ye(II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Ye Huas right hand was directed forward; but Long Hao Chen had moved three, four steps back. Okay, you won. I underestimated you because of your outward appearance. This was my fatal mistake. Thank you for giving me this lesson. Saying this, Ye Huas right hand formed a fist against his chest as he performed a knight salute, facing Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen made haste to return the salute, Thank you for your guidance, Instructor. The knights who were still running hadpletely stopped, eyes wide and mouths opened on the side. Even though they did not see how Ye Hua lost, they were still surprised at the scene, especially when they actually saw this Asura Ye salute a student. It was weird, as inconceivable as seeing a cat kissing a mouse. What are you doing?! Taking your Fathers words as farts?! Go back to running, fifty moreps! In the next instant, the Asura Ye as they remembered him deep inside reappeared. His threatening roars frightened the other knights who all made haste to resume theirps. You,e with me. Asura Ye said this sentence in a cold voice before turning back and starting to walk. Long Hao Chen hurried to follow him, entering in the Knight Main Hall after Ye Hua. A huge person seemed like he had been waiting there for a long time. Watching theme in, he smiled and asked: How was it? Just like I said, right? Nn Hall Master. Long Hao Chen said in a somewhat surprised tone. The huge person present there was Nn Shu. This time, he appeared like an old fox, showing his beaming face to Long Hao Chen and Asura Ye. Fat bastard. Asura Ye coldly let out a loud _Hmph_. Nn Shuughed and said: Zombie face, this time we are at Hao Yue Hall, but are going to stay so proud. By the way, I forgot to tell you about his age. Hao Chen, are you twelve yet? Long Hao Chen shook his head and answered: Ill be twelve years old in four months. What? As the originally cold Ye Hua heard him, some changes finally appeared on his face, it looked as if his expression revealed shock and fanaticism at the same time. Not twelve yet? You are not twelve yet and you can still use [Shining Sr Strike]? How could he not have noticed the shield skill that Long Hao Chen had previously used. Nn Shu proudly answered: Didnt I tell you that a peerless genius came to our Hao Yue Hall? Do you understand the word peerless? Idiot. Ye Hua looked as though he didnt notice Nn Shus taunt at all. His ice-cold face was incredibly serious, as he fixed his gaze at Long Hao Chen: Since you can use both [Shining Sr Strike] and [Heavenly Battle Array], then all you have studied up to now were Retribution Knight abilities right? Why didnt you continue practicing as a Retribution Knight, but instead chose to be a Guardian Knight? Long Hao Chen replied without hesitation: I hope to have the ability to protect everything I want to protect. After all, Father told me that the power of a single person was limited. When fighting against the demon race to protect our homnd, a Guardian Knight has a much more important role than a Retribution Knight. Ye Huas eyes lit up; he smiled, slowly nodding and said: Good, starting from today, you will follow me alone in learning the Guardian Knight skills. Without my permission, you are not to duel with other knights. Do you understand? Long Hao Chen was stunned for a moment, then said: But if I have not enough realbat experience, will that not affect my training? Ye Hua coldly hummed, Say that after youve beaten me. Go to the practicing field and wait there for me. Yes. Long Hao Chen replied with a somewhat puzzled expression, then after saluting Nn Shu, he turned around and left. Looking at him leave, Ye Hua gradually looked fired up, Fat bastard, where did you find such a treasure? Nn Shu triumphantly said: Zombie face, did you get served yet? You did not believe me when I told you all of this yesterday, do you believe it now? With this little guy joining us, in the future, our Hao Yue Branch Hall will shine, and maybe its status will be promoted to that of Chief Hall. You will also be able to show those who scorned you how powerful your disciple is. Ye Hua simply ignored Nn Shus showing off. He pondered for a moment and said: Do you know how high the innate internal spiritual energy of this little kid is? Nn Shu nodded and answered: I dont know. I tried to ask him, but he wasnt willing to tell me. However, I tested his spiritual energy and it was at the 268th level. Thus, it looks like this little fellows innate internal spiritual energy cannot be lower than 40; it may be even higher. But why are you asking this? Didnt you hate to deal with those with a high innate internal spiritual energy? Ye Huas ice-cold face suddenly took a somewhat unusual expression, If the inborn could be changed, the current me wouldnt be limited to the level of a mere Earth Knight. If my innate internal spiritual energy was 50, I would inevitably be a Divine Knight. However, the abominable Heavens that decided to give me wisdom and understanding deprived me of inborn capability. Nn Shus plump palms patted his shoulder: Okay okay, dont me everyone and everything but yourself. Didnt the arrival of this child, Hao Chen, give you an asion to put your talent to use? Even if you cant aim to sit at that ce, your disciple can. Isnt it the same? Ye Hua took a deep breath, excitement appeared on his cold face that gradually became redder, Thank you fat bastard. Nn Shuughed: Youre still calling me this way? Originally, if it wasnt for you, I would have left these 150 kilograms (300 Jin) of fat meat on the battlefield. Ye Hua said in a little voice: You will have to help me take care of a few matters. First, from today onwards, except for carrying the knight examinations, I want to be independant from the other Alliance obligations, apart from the examinations. Second, block the news; I especially want the news about this childs age to be tightly hidden. In particr, we cannot let other hall masters or branch halls know. During the Magical Selection and Tournament that ising in two years, I want to shock and amaze the world with this childs feat. Okay, no problem. Only, Zombie Face, I dont want you to be too impatient and eager on your quest for sess. Regardless of the circumstances, you cannot harm this child. After all, being excessively enthusiastic will only have the opposite effect. Ye Hua said in a thin voice: This child is stronger than you can imagine. I can see in him my hope, not because of his age and his talent, but because of his perseverance. From the Ten Standards of the Knight, he has at least already grasped courage and perseverance. Plus, he is a kid who never admits defeat, and moreover, he has a different sense of observation and an imagination beyond limits. Although a duration of two years and a half is brief, I believe that he will shock the whole temple as much as he did me. Nn Shu faintly nodded: I still have the same words, dont be too impatient and eager. I can not tell you of this kids origin but, in the near future, he will be able to be our humanitys new hope. Ye Huaughed, a smile was finally drawn on his ice-cold face; it was honestly uglier than his crying face, but Nn Shu could be sure that he was smiling. On his face, a smiling expression that did not appear for almost ten years was finally revealed. As he wasughing, Ye Hua left, and his voice was resounding onest time in Nn Shus ears, I treasure this kid even more than you. He is the continuation of my dream. Long Hao Chen had no way of knowing that after being freed from the tigers den that was his fathers training, he was going to enter in the clutches of a biased devil Asura. From that day onwards, the head instructor of Knight Temple Hao Yue Hall, known with the nickname of Asura, Ye Hua, finally quitted his position of chief instructor Knight Main Hall, letting Nn Shu personally take over this job of head instructor. And the short-lived legend of the juvenile genius knight also disappeared, together with him. , 1. Common Chinese expression, the meaning of the word Father is in this context closer to Uncle 2. 97. Be careful, innate internal spiritual energy is the internal spiritual energy he starts with after his Divine Awakening, and unlike the internal spiritual energy, it is something innate: it cannot be changed throughout all ones life, and determine his internal spiritual energys potential. As long as ones IISE is higher than 10, he can be considered as talentuous in this regard.

Chapter 37: Asura Ye (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A lot of people conjectured that this young knight was probably the descendant of a big shot, but got bullied by Ye Hua. And this important figure became furious and fired Asura Ye from his position. Either way, it was a joyful thing for the knights that they finally did not have to see that zombie face everyday anymore, nor undergo that hell-like training anymore. Time passed day by day and even the person Long Hao Chen was the most familiar with, Li Xin, did not see him often. All she knew was that he was receiving Asura Yes guidance. Even when they saw each other, Long Hao Chen avoided to disclose the training method used by Asura Ye. The food served in Hao Yue Hall was pretty good, not to mention that Long Hao Chen himself received special treatment; training improved his physique, he received a sufficient andfortable nutrition, and as a result, his body grew very quickly. The fact that could surprise anyone was that his face had be even softer and more morous. Two yearster. Hao Yue Branch Halls examination ground. _Dang, Dang, Dang_ , weapons were colliding against each other as a sacred atmospherepletely filled the examination ground that was protected by a magical barrier. Its exterior wouldnt be affected either. _Peng _ A figure could be seen. It was knocked back and continuously flew towards a wall more than twenty meters away before slowly falling down. The figure that was sent flying away had a height of approximately 1.7 meters. It looked quite robust, but at the same time, very slender. The figure wore a blue-colored attire, had ck hair, yellow-colored pupils, bright red-colored lips, its eyebrows looked extremely soft, and it had white delicate skin where the slightest pore could not be found. If this figure were to crossdress, its appearance would absolutely look natural. Long Hao Chen, get up! You trash, what did I teach you?! When your opponent is far stronger than you, a direct confrontation is the most unsuitable choice. Dont tell me that because I just said you were a wimp, you cannot keep going anymore? A Guardian Knights most important trait is supposed to be patience! Once more! Yes. This youth who was sent flying was, undoubtedly, trained individually by Asura Ye. The astonishing growth he underwent during these two years was due to training: Asura Ye had no way topare with Long Hao Chens father but, while training under his guidance, Long Hao Chen could faintly feel that this Asura Teacher was different from his father in a lot of ways, especially regarding their field of specialization; regarding understanding and mastery of the skills, he was not as good as his father at all, but he lent priority to practice. Of course, following Ye Asuras guidance was not a joyful thing at all. Asura Yes temperament regarding training made him worthy of his title. He always looked quite discontent, immediately beating him up nonstop. Regarding Long Hao Chensbat experience, Asura Ye was fully satisfied. The kind ofbat training that Asura Ye gave to Long Hao Chen was different from the one given by Long Xing Yu. Long Xing Yu did not use spiritual energy at all, training his skills by relying only on technique to attack Long Hao Chen. However, this was not the case with Asura Ye. He seemed as if he was a teacher from hell, going all out at every fight, at best showing little mercy. However, he would still never harm Long Hao Chens bones and muscles for real, a typical case of the strong bullying the weak. In such an oppressive environment, Long Hao Chens speed of growth was astonishing. Everyday, he would end uppletely worn out before seated meditation training, but his bodys potential wasing out little by little. Nheless, the gap between this master and disciple was really too big: a mere two years couldnt possibly make up for it despite the following cultivation training that happened daily. Even though Long Hao Chens speed of cultivation was gradually bing faster and faster, the enormous gap between him and Asura Ye was still present. In fact, Genuine Knights who want to reach the tenth rank are required to cultivate their spiritual energy from the 201th to the 500th level; but for Earth Knights, the requirements extend from the 2000th to the 4000th. The disparity between the two steps is close to being tenfold and this applies to any vocation. The reason for this disparity is that as the step grows higher, the difficulty to grow in ranking increases tremendously. For example, Long Hao Chens father, the Divine Knight Long Xing Yu, had a 9th step vocations spiritual energy level of at least 10,000. DangC. Hum? Time is up. Two sessive colliding sounds resounded practically at the same time, and the fight on the examination ground finally came to a halt. The reason of the two sessive sounds was simple, it was that Long Hao Chen relied on his Radiant Shield to block Ye Huas heavy sword. A thick golden aura was emitted by both master and disciple; although Ye Hua said that the time was up, Long Hao Chen did not show the slightest bit of negligence. This teacher frequently surprised Long Hao Chen by his acts, such as sneak attacking. For you to be able to block this frontal attack, even if you relied on the Radiant Shield, means that your spiritual energy has already made a breakthrough. Rest for an hour, and then we will test your spiritual energy. As he said these words, Ye Huas ice cold face couldnt help but show a smiling expression. Every time Long Hao Chen was sent flying, he would reveal a smiling face intentionally. Of course, Long Hao Chen never treated his expression as a smile, he just thought that his stiff faces muscles were simply suddenly twitching, and apart from the fact his face looked even more ferocious, it had also another effect Yes. An hourter. BangC C A dazzling light momentarily brightened the whole examination ground, as if ayer of gold was coating it. Ye Hua silently nodded: 1,014. Very good, you finally broke through the 1,000s, just like me. I had already stopped my progression at the 5th step 5th rank six years ago. My current spiritual energy level is approximately at the 3,000th level. If someone were to see this scene with his own eyes, and knew Long Hao chens precise age, he would most likely be so shocked that his jaw would drop. With each spiritual energy round number level bing a bottleneck, breaking through thest rank of each step was truly hard. Ye Hua was personally stopped by the bottleneck of the 3,000th level and, for six years, he wasnt able to pass it! Regardless of his efforts, and his cleverness, he was just unable to breakthrough. However, he clearly remembered that approximately one week ago, he tested Long Hao Chens spiritual energy and it was still roughly at the 980th level that time. In other words, within a week, his spiritual energy grew and gained thirty levels despite the fact that he just broke through a bottleneck. Hao Chen, these few days, when you practiced, did you feel any sluggish feeling? Ye Hua asked. Long Hao Chen shaked his head: I didnt. It was as usual. Ah C Ye Hua, who didnt expect this answer, let out a kind of nervous cry. Long Hao Chen stood on the side unperturbed, looking at him; this was clearly not the first time he got to see this kind of expression on his teachers face. After quite a while, Ye Huas mind recovered to a somewhat stable state, and he coldly said: Go back and pack up your things, you will go out with me tomorrow. Yes. Long Hao Chen put away his Radiant Shield and his heavy sword, respectfully performing a knight salute in front of his teacher before turning around. As he looked towards Long Hao Chen who was disappearing from the entrance, Ye Hua looked up and loudly bellowed, filled with grief and indignation: The Heavens have no limit; evil Heavens, you bastards, you are just inhuman! This brat actually did not even feel the bottleneck, what kind of level will these innate gifts make him reach?! In two years, he broke through the 1,014th spiritual energy level from the 268th! Holy shit, didnt these bastards from the Temple say that below 20 years-old, the spiritual energy growth couldnt be very fast, and only after 20 years old would it be truly faster?! Bunch of divine cocks, did you see that?! 13 years-old and has a 1000th spiritual energy level, fuck it, a fourth rank Grand Knight! Im not a fifth of this kind of genius; I, your Father, am not even a Radiant knight! Long Hao Chen came back to his room, washed his whole body, and changed into clean clothes. He ate a simple meal and was about to head back to practice before a knocking sound could be heard , 1.

Chapter 38: Asura Ye (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Sis. The one who wasing was Li Xin. Although they could still asionally meet each other, the way Li Xin looked at Long Hao Chens charming appearance had not changedpared to before. She couldnt help but nkly stare at him, especially since his body still let out a faint fragrance from the bath he just took. I just finished my practice and happened to see you return, so I decided toe over and visit you. Li Xin showed a beautiful smile as she spoke, caressing Long Hao Chens wet hair. Long Hao Chen had a shy reaction: Sis, you shoulde inside, Ill serve you a cup of water. Dont be so formal. I just came to see you. Li Xin held Long Hao Chens shoulder in a very natural way as she entered. Although Long Hao Chen had already a height of 1.7 meters, Li Xin was 1.75 meters. Her slender thigh, her slim waist, as well as her round butt could excite to death an unimaginable number of people. Only, no one dared to approach her, the woman known as the Hell Rose. After she patted Long Hao Chens shoulder, she started pinching his arms, and said with an amused smile: It looks like results are finally showing up. You are bing more and more tempting. Sometimes, Big Sis really wants to eat you. It would be so great if I had a skin as nice as yours! Long Hao Chen spoke helplessly: Sis, here we go again. Do you think that I feel the same way? My appearance was given to me by my parents, I cannot do anything about it. I just resemble Mother, nothing more. Li Xin fell intoughter: Okay okay, Im stopping, lets have a proper talk. After half a year, the Magical Hunt and Selection Competition will take ce. I have already broken through the second rank of the step of Grand Knight so, this time, I will work hard to be selected as a participant of the Magical Hunt. I have already told Uncle Nn to bring you along for your personal experience, to experience this scene. Five yearster, you, who are not even 12 years-old yet for the moment, will also be able to advance to the Magical Hunt and Selection. You will already have some first-hand experience at that moment. Only, we still need Asura Yes agreement. It is better that you tell him yourself. At worst, Uncle Nn will just order him to let you go, and he will not be able to do anything about that. Long Hao Chen chuckled: Okay, I will tell him. Sis, I am going out with Teacher Asura tomorrow. I will tell him at that time. He felt quite helpless because Asura Ye was really too uptight, he would never permit him to show the results of his training to anyone else, including Nn Shu. Using Nn Shus words, this zombie face could be described as the most troublesome thing possible, with his resolution fixed at amazing the world with Long Hao Chens brilliant feat. Li Xins eyes had an astute feeling, Lil Bro, you are not allowed to tell me about your training, but since you are following this Asura Ye, it shouldnt becking. This time, when we from Hao Yue City participate in the Magical Hunt and Selection Competition, there will be several people, like this fucking servant Lin Jia Lu who also intended to go. So you should help your big sister. Long Hao Chen was somewhat speechless: Sis, you have been babbling for so long, forget about it. From what I can conclude, although the both of you quarrel whenever you meet, in reality you consider each other like a friend. _Peuh, peuh, peuh_ , who considers this girl like a friend? Alright, Im leaving, you have to train hard for this half year too. This girl was the high-paced type. Looking at her leaving figure, Long Hao Chen felt a very warm feeling: after he left his parents, the only affection he could receive came from this big sister. In his heart, Li Xin had long ago be his dearly loved big sister that he was willing to use his life to protect. Long Hao Chen was not good at all at expressing his feelings, but deep inside, he was very grateful towards her. Returning to his quiet room, Long Hao Chen sat cross-legged; he seemed like he was finally going to enter the meditative state. Gifted people werent always meant to be sessful. Countless geniuses fell down during their period of practice, and even more of them died because of their temperament. Long Hao Chens training speed was incredibly fast, but his mental state was as important as his innate gifts. Going step by step, with a serene mental state, he didnt have any distracting thoughts during his practice: his state of mind was much better than average peoples. It looked like a supple wave of spiritual energy rippled around him. A faint shining light could also be faintly seen, spreading out from his body. On his chest, another light shone even more brightly, the pulsation and fluctuation of this light seemed to be matching the pace of his heartbeat. The pure holy aura released from Long Hao Chens body, with his physique of a Scion of Light, absorbed a great part of the essence from Heaven and Earth, and way more easily than average people. The most important thing was that his internal spiritual energy was unceasingly increasing as he trained; Long Hao Chen discovered that the sacred light element internal spiritual energy he had was purer than the other knights. This was something he discovered as he was practicing using the Guardian Knight skills. When he used a skill taught by Asura Ye that was supposed to consume 50 units of spiritual energy, it used only 30 units. This was, however, a secret he didnt even reveal to him. In his heart, although he was fully aware that Asura Ye deeply care about his well-being and, at the same time, considered him as the person he was the closest with, the ce Asura Ye upied in his heart was nowhere close to the ce he held Long Xing Yu. As a result, he never forgot his fathers words that he should neverpletely expose his talent. In addition, the details were somethingpletely inconceivable from the point of view of ordinary people. The gold color faintly discernible on his chest was the Saint Spiritual Stoves undting energy. This Saint Stove inside of his body floated quietly, and, around it, his internal spiritual energy was rotating, acting like a funnel. This internal spiritual energy shaped like a thin gold colored mist that was spinning quite slowly, but could be stimted by meditating: it would increase its rotation speed. Even without stimtion, the time needed toplete a whole cycle was only two hours. It looked like the cultivation of the internal spiritual energy was extremely slow, but even though this process looked full difficult toprehend, it could be simply summarized: every time the golden light rotated six times around, Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy increased a little bit. In other words, even if he didnt do anything, his internal spiritual energy would still be cultivated a bit everyday. This little quantity of spiritual energy should not be underestimated; a bit every day would be 365 bits in a year. In fact, even if he only spent all of his days sleeping, after three years, he would still promote from a Grand Knight to the realm of an Earth Knight. This period of countless bouts started a month after he arrived in the city; his internal spiritual energy was constantly being used up and refilled. At the beginning, Long Hao Chen could not sense the rotations at all and could only go all out while fighting, he was full of ws. What differed back then,pared to the present in which he had broken through the 1000th spiritual energy level, was that he could now control these rotations. Long Hao Chens current cultivation speed waspletely astonishing. Long Hao Chen by nature couldnt spend all of his days sleeping, his diligencebined with Asura Yes training were bringing great results together. Perception, attraction, absorption, assimtion, filtration, condensation, this was the process of the cultivation of Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy; it was very fast, especially when he entered this peculiar state. Bright morning. Long Hao Chen arrived in time in front of Asura Ye. Time for us to go. Asura Ye still had his zombie face. Teacher, where are we going? To the Knights Sacred Mountain. For my mount? Yeah. An intense feeling of excitement appeared in Long Hao Chens heart. With this bright red fiery feeling, hoping that a mount that was as fast as the Rose Unicorn could belong to him, Long Hao Chen shouted from inside, _I want my own mount too!_. , 1. hes 13 actually, atm.

Chapter 39: Knights Sacred Mountain (I)1

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales That day, Asura Ye was wearing a different outfit than usual. He had put on a suit of silver coloured light armor, covering his whole body. Apart from the shield he used when he trained Long Hao Chen, there was also a heavy sword on his back. His portable luggage was thrown on to Long Hao Chen who ced it into his spatial ring, Forget-Me-Not. Long Hao Chens attire was very inpared to his teachers. He did not even wear his armor suit, he only had a sword and a shield, the shield being the same Radiant Shield that Li Xin gave him. Teacher, arent we going to the Knights Sacred Mountain? Long Hao Chen asked with a puzzled look as he came back. It seemed as if he was heading to the rear of Hao Yue Hall. Just follow me. Asura Ye said rxedly. His response was like so only because Long Hao Chen was the one who asked. If it was another person, he would just have been discredited while being cursed. When they entered into the training ground, the knights training had not started yet. Most of them were still probably having breakfast in the cafeteria, so it was really quiet inside the training ground. Asura Ye stopped and like a double edged sword, he thrust his right hand suddenly into the void. Pale gold glows gathered together to form golden patterns that moved in the air. Long Hao Chen had seen these actions before. Li Xin had used them once, _isnt this the method to summon a battle mount? Could it be that this teacher also became a Genuine Knight before the age of twenty, and furthermore, visited the Knights Holy Mountain?_ Golden light rose and bright golden glows formed a gate that shone with a bright light. Together with a loud scream that could be heard, a figure came out from the golden light. Seeing this figure clearly, Long Hao Chen could not help but stare at it. He had been training with Ye Hua for two years, but this was the first time he had seen Ye Huas battle mount. It was a big bird with its whole body colored light yellow. It came out from the golden light, its height was over two and a half meters, its yellow feathers were in exotic circr shapes, and its head was also perfectly round. Its body looks very rough and tough, and there seemed to be a faint earth-element yellowyer of light emanating from it. During his practice with his father, aside from the everyday training, Long Xing Yu also taught him all kinds of knowledge; that naturally included knowledge about magical beasts. After a brief moment of surprise, Long Hao Chen recognized this was a rare earth-elemental flying magical beast; its name was Vibrant Mountain Bird, a sixth ranked magical beast. Generally speaking, the majority of flying magical beasts belonged to the wind-elemental system, the rest were in other elemental systems, but earth-elemental system flying magical beasts were the most rare of them all. The Vibrant Mountain Birds speed might not be very fast, but whether in terms of loading limit or defense, there was no flying magical beasts of the same rank that could match them. Teacher, so you are an Airborne Knight. Long Hao Chen said with admiration. Among fifth stepped knights, only one who had a flying battle mount could call himself an Airborne Knight, otherwise he could only be called an Earth Knight. Without a doubt, within the same rank, Airborne Knights were naturally the stronger ones. As Asura Ye revealed rare gentle eyes, the Vibrant Mountain Bird lowered its head, letting him pet it a little before expanding its huge wings wide, five meters across, and slightly crouching down. Asura Ye pulled Long Hao Chen, slightly jumped up andnded on top of the Vibrant Mountain Birds back. Before Long Hao Chen could react, fierce wind rose up, the Vibrant Mountain Bird did a short head start, strongly pped its two wings, then took flight into the sky. This was the first time Long Hao Chen traveled on a flying magical beast; feeling a little nervous, he grabbed the Vibrant Mountain Birds feathers subconsciously. The scenery below quickly became smaller, and soon, the Vibrant Mountain Bird was already high into the air. Ayer of yellow-colored earth essence was released from this Vibrant Mountain Birds body, it wrapped Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua, making sure that they wouldnt be blown away by the wind. Its pair of wings was still pping, advancing towards the horizon. Long Hao Chen knew that magical beasts mounts were spiritually connected with their master, so this Vibrant Mountain Bird naturally knew where they were headed. _So fast_ , Hao Yue Town was gradually bing smaller under them as the Vibrant Mountain Bird rose in the sky until reaching an altitude close to a kilometer, the height for flying. Being seated on its wide back gave one an unexpectedly smooth feeling. After all, Long Hao Chen wasnt fourteen years old yet, it was the first time he got to see such a fantastic scene. This Vibrant Mountain Bird was clearly a fully grown magical beast, the feeling when flying on its back was truly wonderful! _When we will arrive in the Knights Sacred Mountain, it would be awesome if I could get this magical beast!_ Ye Hua reacted: So envious? Long Hao Chen nodded without the least restrain. Ye Hua told: You will also have the opportunity. I am gonna to tell you about the ces at the Knights Sacred Mountain where you can look for a magical beastpanion, you have to remember what Ill say. Yes. Ye Hua continued: The Knights Sacred Mountain is the magicalnd our Knight Temple was established on. This mountain range is a cornerstone that several generations established after great efforts. More precisely, the Knights Sacred Mountain is, in itself, a huge magical array. Inside of its range, all the magical beasts be friendly with humans, while their power is restricted. In the Knights Sacred Mountain, the oldest magical beasts can evenmunicate mentally. Each human who enters the mountain has to be below 20 years old, his spiritual energy must have reached the 200th level, he must have undergone the Sacred Awakening, and he must also have the approval of the Knight Temple to get close enough to these magical beasts. You have to keep in mind that, there, what you will be looking for is apanion for life, not simply a mount. He will be your most loyal friend and, unless you die, he will apany you for your whole life. He will even be more reliable than the futurepanions you will have. When looking for a mount in the Knights Sacred Mountain, there is a big factor of luck. By chance, you will perhaps find your suitable mount after your first step. But if you dont have this chance, I am afraid that even if you wait for ten years or a hundred years, there will be no magical beasts that will pay attention to you. Thus, entering the Knights Sacred Mountain, in some kind of meaning, is a process consisting to seek chance. Hearing up to this part, Long Hao Chen asked: Teacher, how can I seek this chance? Ye Hua let out a sigh, gently caressing the feathers on the back of hispanion, Everyone has a different fate. At that time, when I met my Vibrant Mountain Bird, it wasnt a third of a meter high yet, and yet the first time I saw it, my heart had an intense feeling of intimacy with it. The vast majority of the magical beasts in the Knights Sacred Mountain wont attack humans, but there are some with a violent temperament that will warn you as soon as you step into their territory. If you meet this kind of magical beast, the tile provided by the Temple will inform you to some extent. Dont rashly enter in the range of its territory. If both of you are brought together by fate, it will naturallye to you. These kinds of magical beasts are oftenparatively powerful existences in the Sacred Mountain Knight. Long Hao Chen kept in mind Ye Huas pointers: he wouldnt dare be the slightest bit careless. _Apanion, Teacher is right, in the future I will have my own mount andpanion. But what kind of mount will it be?_ Teacher, will the kind of mount that I am destined to tame be rted to my innate potential? Long Hao Chen curiously asked. Ye Hua nodded and answered: Of course it will be rted. Simply said, to a mount, acknowledging you is kind of like acknowledging your innate potential. The more formidable the magical beast, the more exigent it will be regarding itspanions abilities. About this matter, my luck was very good at that time. , 1.

Chapter 40: Knights Sacred Mountain (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales While he was speaking, Ye Huas look became very gentle. Hao Chen, do you know how high my innate internal spiritual energy is? Ye Hua asked. At this instant, his voice sounded as cold as ice. Long Hao Chen shook his head. Ye Hua said: My innate internal spiritual energy is only nine. Ah? Only nine? Long Hao Chen clearly remembered his fathers words: if ones innate internal spiritual energy could not even reach ten, it would be very hard for him to break through the third step to enter the fourth step. Ye Hua said this with a smile, but this smile looked even uglier than a crying face. Yeah, only nine. At the time the evil Heavens gave me a smart brain, they also gave me a poor innate potential. Even if I wracked my brainpletely, thought of countless training methods, in the end, I will never bypass the rank of Airborne Knight. In the end, I am afraid that I will never reach the stage of Radiant Knight in my life. On the year of my fifteenth birthday, Ipleted the cultivation of my external spiritual energy and became a Knight. The me of that time was very ambitious, acimed by everyone around as a genius. However, on the day of my Sacred Awakening, to me, it was as if thunder fell from the clear sky: innate internal spiritual energy, nine. The worst trash possible. The teachers who had valued me werent willing to teach me anything anymore. They didnt even let me know where the Knights Sacred Mountain was located. The 15-year-old me wasnt willing to believe that at all! It was impossible impossible that a low innate internal spiritual energy could prevent me to be a formidable knight. I was really not willing to believe that at all! I was convinced that, as long as I could rely on hard word, I would be able to break through and ovee this restriction from Heaven. As a result, I relied on my own two legs to go to the Knights Temple to request permission. And then, I relied on my own two legs to go to the Knights Sacred Mountain, before finally arriving. Every Knight below 20 years old who entered could only remain for a month after entering, and if he didnt find his opportunity within a month, he would be forced to leave the mountain by the Temples authorities. I was looking for the opportunity day after day, persistently looking for it day after day. Every time I met a magical beast, even if it was a second or a third ranked small and weak one, I was willing to interact with it, but even these small and weak fellows didnt ept me. Time passed day after day. Finally, as a month had passed, it looked like I was going to be ordered to leave. I was really unwilling, really really unwilling! As I looked up high in the sky, I was so frustrated that my bitter tears flowed. I knew that if I was forced out of the mountain like that, I could only remain as a trash. Losing the little thread of hope to be a formidable knight that I had, I would not have any more opportunity. However, at this moment, I met him. He heard my cries and before I noticed him, he had appeared on my shoulder. It was as if he could read and understand the pain in my heart. Since then, he became my only close rtive, my best partner. I am willing to protect him with my life, because he is like a little brother to me. At this point, from the ice-cold Ye Hua, a drop of tear flowed as the Vibrant Mountain Bird slowly turned its head, looking at it with a gently look, as if trying tofort it. Ye Hua calmly patted his back, Dont worry, old partner, Im okay. Long Hao Chen, I am an orphan. In this world, I have never experienced what familial love felt like. In the past, I would never imagine that I would one day feel such an unreal thing. That was until I met him, this little brother. And then, I realized that fate really existed. This affection that he let me feel, unceasingly encouraging me to try all kinds of training methods. And then, after twenty years, from trash, I managed, little by little, to break through the realm of an Airborne Knight. I suffered countless bottlenecks. I am afraid that a little genius like you will never be able to understand it, this feeling. After having said so much, there is onest thing Teacher wants to tell you. It is that, after you possess your ownpanion, you have to treat him well, consider him as a member of your family. This kind of opportunity is something that will appear only once during your whole life: you have to grab it. Protect him well; otherwise, when you lose him, you will regret it for your whole life. Hearing such an emotional speech from Ye Hua, Long Hao Chen unconsciously tightened his fists. He was full of respect for both this teacher and this Vibrant Mountain Bird under him. The personal efforts he made were not few, but how could theypare to his teachers? If he had the same innate talent as his teacher, would he be able to, like him, spend a few dozens of years as if it was a single day, to try toplete an impossible goal, and struggle so much for it? Teacher, dont worry, I understand. I will put my life at stake to protect mypanion. Ye Hua slowly nodded, This fat bastard, Nn, doesnt want me to ask you, but, Hao Chen, I really want to know how high your innate internal spiritual energy is. This is for the sake of looking for your suitable mount. The most formidable magical beasts are also the most proud ones. I have not been able to estimate your innate talent up to now. During this trip, you will perhaps be able to show Teacher a really nice surprise. Teacher, I Long Hao Chen looked at Ye Hua somewhat hesitantly. Long Xing Yu clearly told him that his innate internal spiritual energy was something extremely important to keep secret. Moreover, this teacher before him, who was known by others as Asura, couldntpare with him at all in terms of innate internal spiritual energy. However, did he really have to conceal it to such stubborn teacher? Ye Hua waved his hands, letting out a light sigh: Let it be. It is your private matters, and even the fat bastard, Nn, doesnt know. No need to reveal it, I dont want to seem irritating to you. Teacher, I want to let you know. Long Hao Chen blurted out these few words. He had never been moved as deeply as just now, with Ye Huas lonely eyes revealing the pain engraved deeply in his heart. Mh? Ye Huas eyes shone, looking at him with a burning gaze. Long Hao Chen took a deep breath and said: Teacher, since two years ago, you devotedly taught me all kind of things regarding Guardian Knight knowledge and skills. You were very strict, forcing me into a life full of beating and scolding, but deep inside, I knew that you did all of that for my own good. When I followed Father to train, his guidance waspletely different to yours. Without you, I wouldnt have grown so much. I heard Nn Hall Master say that I was your sole disciple. You did not hold back any of the knowledge you acquired in your many years when teaching me. How could Hao Chen be unable to recognize your good intentions? In Hao Chens heart, you are a father as well as a master. To others, my secret will forever remain secret, but to you, I am willing to reveal it, as you are like a father to me. Looking at Long Hao Chen, the muscles on Ye Huas face started to rx as he hurriedly shook his head: he didnt want to let him see the sparkling tears that began to flow from his eyes. He didnt expect at all that, on such an ordinary day, such a clever kid, usually silent but never refusing whichever hard training, his innately gifted disciple with the appearance of beautiful kitty, would speak out these words. Behind such a delicate outward appearance, he apparently had a veryrge heart. Such fantastic words came out from Long Hao Chens mouth, before a pure gold colored radiance enveloped Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua inside of it. [Divine Light Mantle], a third step defensive skill used by Guardian Knights isting him while producing a sound effect. A defensive skill acting like a monomer . With Long Hao Chens current spiritual energy, he could barely use [Divine Light Mantle] to fully envelop him and his teacher inside. , 1.

Chapter 41: Knights Sacred Mountain (III)

Hm? _Such caution?_ Ye Hua gave a puzzled look to Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chens voice rang out at this moment. Teacher, my innate internal spiritual energy level is 97. Mh. Ye Hua let out a little reaction; he was still thinking about Long Hao Chens words, describing him as a teacher as well as a father. His heart felt warm and his joy could not even be described anymore. He lived his whole life as an unmarried man. Having such a sensible treasure as a disciple, it was natural that he regarded him like his son. 97. Eh? Whadidyasay? Ye Huas look suddenly became overly fierce, the tears that were flowing from his eyespletely disappeared. His tone hadpletely changed, he could only yell. Long Hao Chens face showed a faint smile: Thats why I was reluctant to tell you. I knew you would show this kind of reaction. Ye Huas body was clearly somewhat drawn out, forcefully gulping a mouthful of saliva as he suddenly waved his hands, creating a much more imposing [Divine Light Mantle] that spread out from his body, covering both master and disciple inside with one moreyer. You, you said, your innate internal spiritual energy is 97? Ye Huas eyes were wide opened. Long Hao Chen nodded. No, thats impossible. Ye Hua said resolutely, When you just came to our branch Hall, Nn Shu, that fat bastard, told me that your internal spiritual energy was only at the 268th level. When you underwent the Sacred Awakening, you should have had a 200th level external spiritual energy, so even if your innate gift is so formidable, your innate internal spiritual energy shouldnt be higher than 68. Long Hao Chen scratched his head: At that time, my internal spiritual energy was much greater than 100. Only, I had fused with a spiritual stove, so my internal spiritual energy was temporarily depleted. Had you not noticed that during the first month we trained together, my internal spiritual energy was cultivated at a phenomenal speed? It was the restoration of the spiritual energy depleted from fusing with the spiritual stove. Spiritual stove you, you even have a spiritual stove Ye Hua almost plucked the feathers of his Vibrant Mountain Bird out of surprise as he frantically looked at Long Hao Chen. Stinky little kid, do you know what I really want to do right now? Ye Huas eyes revealed an ominous glint. Long Hao Chen gave him a surprised look, Teacher, what do you want to do? Ye Huas cheeks were streaming with tears, I really want to kick you down. Fucking shit, why did you have to tell me?! You have just injured me mentally, why did I have to ask?! A disgrace, this is simply a disgrace! After a full hour, Ye Huas emotional state was finally stabilized. But every time he turned around to look at Long Hao Chens gentle jade like face he could almost see a nine written on his left cheek, and a seven written on his right cheek, with a spiritual stove drawn on his nose After another full hour, as Ye Huas mind could finally be considered as stable, Long Hao Chen requested: Teacher, Ill depend on your help to find a magical beast that is suitable to be mypanion. Ye Hua nced at him, Naturally, the higher is the cultivation level, the better it is, but with your potential, even the 7th or 8th stepped magical beasts can only be ashamed at their inferiority upon looking at you, there is no way they will be self-confident enough to be yourpanion. At best, we could find a ninth stepped young magical beast. Right, what kind of spiritual stove did you get? As he asked, he took out a water gourd to drink a mouthful. Saint Spiritual Stove. PuffC The mouthful of water that Ye Hua just drank sshed out. You, you, are you even human?! Please dont be so cruel to me! Ye Huas face was full of grief and indignation. Long Hao Chen distractedly asked: Teacher, are you alright? The Saint Spiritual Stove should be a spiritual stove that is suitable for us knights to fuse with, ranked at the bottom of the ranking, right? Ye Hua took a deep breath, I am going to tell you this once more, this uncles heart has just been vited! You dont understand at all, dammit! Thats right, Saint Spiritual Stoves are at the bottom of the ranking, but did you know that among the three Grand Divine Knights, two of them are old Guardian Knights, and they both possess a Saint Spiritual Stove? I didnt know. Long Hao Chen gave a sincere answer. Ye Hua angrily said: A Saint Spiritual Stove can be described as the most optimal spiritual stove in coborative battles. A knight who has fused with a Saint Spiritual Stove will be able to take care of all of his teammates at the same time, and increase their security by at least 30%. Fortunately, you told me all of this; after wee back from the Knights Sacred Mountain, I will properly teach you how to use this Saint Spiritual Stove. The Vibrant Mountain Bird continued to fly towards the south: even if its flying speed was slowpared to most magical beasts of the sixth step, it was still a lot faster than travelling on the ground. The Knights Sacred Mountain was located in the northeast of the Temple Alliance; it was bordering the Knight Temple. From Hao Yue City, it was very distant; more precisely, Hao Yue City was in the southern part of the Temple Alliance. It thus required travelling across almost all the Temple Alliances region before reaching it. The positions of all of the Six Great Temples were at the borders of the Temple Alliance,pletely surrounding it and protecting its territory. The headquarters of the Knight Temple was actually at its center, and the six Temples were approximately at equal distance to the center of the territory. Because of the apprehension and the protection brought by these Six Great Temples, for so many years, the demon race was unable to proceed with their invasion of the humannds. Among the Six Great Temples, the Knight Temple was the most formidable, the Warrior Temple had the most people, and the Mage Temple was the richest. The strength of the Knight Temple and the Warrior Temple was known in almost each vige. The influence of the Mage Temple also extended to most towns, from little ones to big ones. The Assassin Temple, the Priest Temple, and the Spiritual Temple, because of their lesser number of members, only had branch halls in big cities: even in a medium sized city like Hao Yue City, there was only a Priest Temple, and the most mysterious ones, the Assassin Temple and Spiritual Temple, never set up a branch hall there. However, this didnt mean that these three Great Temples, with fewer people, were not powerful. Their capability was something the Temple Alliance could not do without. The Vibrant Mountain Bird kept flying unyieldingly: he only needed to go back to the ground to rest once. Long Hao Chen had already told his biggest secret to his teacher, and every day, as they were flying on the back of the Vibrant Mountain Bird, he cultivated his inner spiritual energy. Ye Hua could clearly feel Long Hao Chens spiritual energy rising. 15 dayster. We have finally arrived, old partner, lets go down. Ye Hua said with a happy voice. Long Hao Chen, gazing from afar, was startled as he discovered that far away them, a drizzling gold-colored brilliance shone, but because of the hazy fog before them, this brilliance could not be clearly seen at all. This faint golden envelop had an extremely wide range, and inside, it seemed that a mountain peak could faintly be seen. The Vibrant Mountain Birdnded on the ground, his wings intensely pping before resting on the weeds below. Long Hao Chen jumped to the ground together with his teacher. This 15-day journey was not tiring at all for him; he was cultivating everyday, and during this trip, his spiritual energy increased by approximately 50 levels. Old partner, go back first. The Vibrant Mountain Bird lowered its head, it seemed reluctant to part with Ye Hua, and as it was rubbing against him, Ye Hua canceled his summoning to send it back. Teacher, does the Knights Sacred Mountain have a protective barrier? Why do we have to walk more than fifty kilometers, instead of directly entering from the sky? Long Hao Chen asked. Ye Hua answered: There is no protective barrier, but you have to keep in mind that, in the Knights Sacred Mountain, there are countless magical beasts. These magical beasts wont take the initiative to attack people, but a foreign magical beast flying above them can be interpreted as a taunt. Only if your mount possesses the strength to deal with all of the magical beasts here, can you enter from the sky; otherwise, dont even try. Lets go. Both master and disciple advanced, facing the Knights Sacred Mountain, when suddenly, a gale of wind blew as an enormous silhouette descended from the sky. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Knights Sacred Mountain (IV)

Long Hao Chen moved his arm and took his Radiant Shield out; he was taught that all knights were required to stay on constant alert. This enormous silhouette was slowly nearing the ground, currently at a distance of 3.3 meters (10 zhang). This incredible figure was a flying magical beast. However, this flying magical beast was even more imposing than Ye Huas Vibrant Mountain Bird. With its appearance of a divine enchanting horse; its height of roughly six meters, and its whole body emitting a faint golden light, it was a dragon-headed beast with a body of bird. Its head as well as its tail was covered with long feathers with five different colors. Afternding on the ground, it slowly folded its wings and raised its head; what a beautiful creature! Seventh step magical beast, Dragon Eagle. Long Hao Chen instantly recognized the specie of the beast. A Dragon Eagle is a light attribute flying beast. To knights, light attribute mounts are the most valuable ones, because they are able to substantially increase their fighting capability. Two people jumped down from the back of this Dragon Eagle, a middle-aged man apanied by a young boy. They just got down from its back, so they didnt see Long Hao Chen yet. Oh! Look who it is. It turns out that it is Elder Brother Ye Hua, long time no see! Looking at Ye Hua, they were a little surprised at first, but quickly wore smiles on their faces as they approached. Ye Hua looked as cold as before and he did not even bother to wee them. This middle-aged man wore golden armor, clearly letting out a holy aura. He didnt have any weapon, nor a helmet, and his long golden hair was spread out behind. He seemed a little younger than Ye Hua, his face looked a little feminine, specially his pair of sensual eyes, giving off a vague impression of someone who thinks he is hot stuff. The youth beside this middle-aged man resembled Long Hao Chen a lot: he looked approximately 17-18 years old from his appearance, and his body was quite tall. His face was clearly showing some arrogance. The middle-aged man approached, asking with a smile: Whats wrong? Doesnt elder brother Ye Hua recognize me? Even though it was only six or seven years since thest time we met? Still, we grew up together. I just saw this Vibrant Mountain Bird from afar and although it is only a sixth step magical beast, its species is quite rare so I deduced that it was most likely yours. Ye Hua coldly talked back to him: Gui Ying, you are still as arrogant as before. The expression on the face of this middle aged man changed, and the youth beside him could not help but blurt out in an angry voice: What did you just say?! Shut up! The middle-aged man faintly smiled; his faces expression was already back to normal, Ye Hua, Teacher really misses you, you know? It has been a while since you left our Xiu City, but you havent evene back once to visit Teacher. Teacher for one day, father for life, have you forgotten that!? Ye Huasplexion became colder than ever before, I dont need you to teach me that. We will leave. While speaking, without paying the slightest attention to Gui Ying, he grabbed Long Hao Chens hand and they left together in the direction of the Knights Sacred Mountain. Looking at their leaving figure, the youth couldnt help but ask Gui Ying: Dad, who is he? How can he be so insolent? Gui Ying unenthusiastically answered him: He is nothing more than a trash. This time, it looks like he came with this youth to the Knights Sacred Mountain to help him in getting his mount. After entering the Mountain, if you have the chance, you have to cause trouble for him. The young guy excitedly nodded, I will make him understand what power is. Lets see what kind of magical beast will be willing to get close to him after I break one of his legs. Gui Ying narrowed his eyes, they looked as if they were intensely shining as his memories from a few dozens of years before shed little by little before his eyes. Big Bro Ye Hua, youre gonna turn into a Knight soon. How are you cultivating your spiritual energy so quickly? Do you have any kind of secret? Is it okay to teach it to me? You have to rely on your own efforts and practice diligently, there isnt any shortcut. Hmph, Im sure Teacher favored you and taught you a special training method. Otherwise, how could you turn into a Knight while you are only three years older than me? _PowC_ You dare hit me? You dare hit me What if I hit you? If you dare tell it to Teacher, Ill just break all the limbs in your body, and the Hall Master of Xiu City will lose his interest in you. Get lost, I never want to see you again. That year, he was twelve years old, while Ye Hua was fifteen years old. Gui Wu, if you have the asion, go ahead and break all the limbs of this little boy. With a cold sneer, Gui Ying took big steps forward. An air of arrogance appeared on Gui Wus nk face, To break all his limbs! Isnt that too ruthless? Never mind, I like this idea. A fierce expression was drawn into his face. Ye Hua silently stepped forward, his face was as cold as before, and Long Hao Chen, who was so familiar with him, could feel that his state of mind was currently quite unstable. Teacher, is this person an enemy of yours? Long Hao Chen asked in a calm voice. Ye Hua gave him a quick nce, We were formerly from the same ce; Xiu City, a city adjacent to the headquarters of the Temple Alliance, the biggest city of the Alliance. My teacher was a Temple Knight. He possessed a Silver Foundation Warrior Armor. I joined the Xiu Chen Chief Hall at 13 years old and broke through the third step at 15 years-old. I was acimed as the best genius of the 100st years in Xiu City. I was Teachers direct disciple. But after taking a step into Heaven, I took a step into Hell. When we discovered that my internal spiritual energy was nine, from a genius, I became a useless individual in their eyes. I trained with great efforts for two more years in Xiu City, but the cultivation of my internal spiritual energy was iparably slow. As a result, Teacher drove me away from Xiu City Main Hall, and the among the few people responsible for driving me out, Gui Ying was included. The one who ridiculed me the most, calling me a useless trash nonstop, was him. After he finished speaking, Ye Hua becamepletely silent. It almost seemed as if all he said waspletely unrted to him. And the pace of his steps suddenly sped up. He was relying on his spiritual energy to speed up, as if an arrow was shot at him from behind. Long Hao Chen couldnt refrain from clenching his fists as he pledged that the disgrace of his teacher, would be cleansed. Although Ye Hua exined his situation casually, he could imagine that his teacher of those days had surely suffered a lot from this situation too, and that Gui Ying was the first person who provoked this situation of his. Turning his head to peek a nce at Gui Ying and his son, a third of a kilometer away, Long Hao Chens golden colored eyes shone brightly from afar. A distance of fifty kilometers was nothing at all for them, and after an hour, Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua were already near the Knights Sacred Mountain. As they approached the Knights Sacred Mountain, the light-element aura became even stronger. A haze filled with light element aura was being emitted from behind. The mountain peak was faintly visible, towering in the sky. Clearly, the Knights Sacred Mountain was not a single mountain, but a mountain range. The haze scattered as they approached it, so the sight was not as unclear as one may think. Slowly walking across this haze that faintly shone, Long Hao Chen discovered, to his surprise, that this haze was imbued with a very pure light attribute, and after entering the haze, the light attribute was at least five times superiorpared to outside, and did not contain any impurity. Feel it. The light element attribute here is a lot stronger than outside. The Knights Sacred Mountain is actually, in itself, an enormous magical array that extends throughout an entire mountain range. This light essence is also issued out by the magical array, and if knights like us cultivate here, it will be, as a result, twice more effective, but obviously, this is impossible because as long as these light essences exists here, the violent nature of these magical beasts will be suppressed. Thus, no knight is allowed to stay in the Knights Sacred Mountain to cultivate. None of the elders that guard it would allow it. Otherwise, the bnce of the light attribute magical array would be destroyed and it would likely result in the rebellion of the magical beasts that reside here. Upon entering the mountain, the self-rotations of ones internal spiritual energy will not matter anymore, and obviously, you will be forbidden from meditating to increase your cultivation speed. , Gui Ying means sly shadow Xiu City literally means Cultivation City.

Chapter 43: Starlight Unicorn (I)

After listening to Ye Huas advice, Long Hao Chen felt a little regretful. However, when he entered the area, he clearly felt in his body that the rotation speed of his internal spiritual energy around his spiritual stove elerated significantly. Even without meditating to elerate his cultivation speed, the rotation of his spiritual energy would not be much slower. Your name? asked a deep, hoarse voice. Long Hao Chen was startled; with the increase of his cultivation speed, his mental capacity also became all more formidable here. At this moment, he did not know that the fact using skills depleted less of his spiritual energy was not only because of his physique as a Scion of Light, but also because of his excellent mental capacity. Despite all of that, he still did not detect this person who was approaching. Gui Ying, the Hall Master of Xiu City Hall has brought his son Gui Wu to the Sacred Mountain to choose apanion mount. A shadow shed: Gui Ying and his son, who were behind them all along, came close, standing next to Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua. The figure of an old man slowly came out in front of them; his body was like a part of the pale golden haze, and his breath waspletely overshadowed by the haze. This elder had a hunchback posture and, inside his armor, he was d with simple grey-colored clothes. He was mostly bald, but still had a few sparse and fragmentary strands of white hair. A simple wrinkle of his brows was a weapon that could catch mosquitoes and the yellow color of his eyes was very pure. The appearance of the old man is like someone who is in hisst days and seemed like a gust of wind could end his life. Ye Hua from Hao Yue Branch Hall, I came with my disciple, Long Hao Chen, to the Sacred Mountain to choose hispanion mount. Ye Huas voice sounded as cold as ever. Even here, his old habit did not change at all. The old man slowly approached them. When Long Hao Chen clearly saw his appearance, he couldnt help but feel somewhat startled. The old man had a single arm: his left arm was cut off, and he was blind in the right eye. He even had a veryrge scar on his face, extending from his lower jaw to the top of his head. It was as if his head had been split open. When he could clearly see the appearance of this old man, Long Hao Chen also discovered that his teacher with a usually ice-cold temperament unexpectedly had a respectful look on his eyes at this moment. He was slowly bowing down before this elder, and Gui Yin was doing the same at the other side. Long Hao Chen didnt dare to ck off and hurriedly gave his respects as well. Although Gui Wu was bowing down like his father, a disapproving look could be seen in his eyes. Since his childhood, he had been the proud son of the Hall Master of Xiu City. Regardless of whether they were people from the Knight Temple or Xiu City, everyone was polite and courteous with him. He was really unwilling to bow down to a disabled old man in histe days. The gaze of this elderly man swept in front of these four people, before saying in a hoarse voice: Take out your certificates. Yes. Gui Ying and Ye Hua answered simultaneously, and Gui Ying, a step faster, handed over a scroll to him. Ye Hua shot him a cold nce before handing over a scroll at his turn. The elderly man first gave a look to the scroll handed by Gui Ying and nodded. When he next gave a look to the scroll handed by Ye Hua, he couldnt help but look at Long Hao Chen, analyzing him from top to bottom. Long Hao Chen vaguely knew already that this scroll recorded everything about the time after he joined Hao Yue Branch Hall, naturally including his age and his cultivation records. Being stared by this elderly man, he felt a huge pressure in his whole body, as if a formidable power had prated his inner being. The elderly man gave him another look before waving in his direction, Come. Gui Ying pushed his son, giving him a meaningful nce. Gui Wu quickly took a step forward, showing a respectful expression. The elder lifted his hand, consciously moving it on Gui Wus shoulder. As a reaction, Gui Wu subconsciously shook with his entire body, struggling, but when the dried up and old-looking palm touched his shoulder, he instantly became stiff andpletely unable to move. A drop of sweat flowed from his forehead: he could clearly feel that the palm of this elder was as imposing as a mountain, and he felt as if he was disappearing without hope of returning. Hm, 18 years-old. You have my approval. You may enter. was the next sentence he told to Gui Ying. Turning his hand, he grabbed a long ck colored tile. He handed it to Gui Wus hand before telling him: Upon meeting magical beasts of different levels, this token will take on a different color. In the Knights Sacred Mountain, the weakest beasts are at the second rank, corresponding to a red color. In a simr fashion, the others colors are yellow, green, dark green, blue, purple, white, and silver. Ninth is the peak level here. If a shining golden color appears, it means you have encountered an aggressive beast. Unless you feel apatibility between the both of you, you are to stay as far from it as possible. If you cannot initiate a link among the both of you, keep searching until you find your target. The time limit is 30 days, you have 30 days to look for the suitable magical beast for yourself. Also, you will be transported out of the mountain 20 seconds after this tile shines with a pure gold color. Is everything clear? Yes. Gui Wu answered. Then, the scroll that was in the elders hand suddenly turned into ashes as a grey colored energy was sent out, covering the ck colored tile in Gui Wus hand. The tile quickly shone before going back to normal. Thank you very much, senior. Gui Ying respectfully saluted this elder before heading back to the mountain. Gui Wu did not dare be negligent, and shot a nce at the nearby Long Hao Chen before moving forward and stepping in the haze, disappearing inside. The elder faced Long Hao Chen and beckoned, Come, little fellow; let this old man take a closer look to you. I want to see if you can really amaze an old man like me. Yes. Long Hao Chen gave a nce to this teacher before approaching him at a slow pace and respectfully standing in front of him. Like before, the elder ced his hand on his shoulder, and a warm feeling was instantly transmitted. Long Hao Chen didnt move the slightest bit, and calmly stood there. After a short moment, the elder opened his eyes wide, and after withdrawing his hand he stared at Long Hao Chens face once more. Hao Yue Branch Hall. the old man murmured in a deep voice. This young one is listening. Ye Hua took two steps forwards, respectfully saluting him. The old man turned his head, looked at Ye Hua, and said: Where did you find such a little freak? He is really not 13 yet, but he is already a Grand Knight. Moreover, his spiritual energy is above 1,000, ten years earlier than that little fellow Long Xing Yu, whose innate talent cannot evenpare to his. This is a genuine genius! You can report my approval to the executive of the Temple and let him directly pursue his cultivation in the Temple. Ye Huasplexion faintly changed: he didnt expect this elder before him to be so fond of Long Hao Chen, and a thought came to him, _it seems that even within a century, such a prodigy will not appear for sure._ Senior, it is not that this young one is unwilling, only, in half a year, there will be the Magical Hunt and Selection, that majorpetition. And this young one firmly believes that his teachings are definitely notcking. The old man pondered for a little while, before nodding: Alright. This old one will not meddle in your affairs. He will simply leave you be. Kid, did you clearly hear what I said earlier? Long Hao Chen respectfully answered: I heard clearly. The old man nodded, Then you can go. However, as you broke through the step of Grand Knight before you turned 20, you can have one more privilege. If after 30 days, you havent found a fitting mount for yourself, you can enter the Sacred Mountains summit to summon a magical beast to serve as your mount from another ce. Only, if we have toe to this, it means we are leaving everything to chance: it will be for sure a suitable mount for you, but it is hard to say whether it will be a strong one or a weak one, and it can even be a first step magical beast; hence, you have to make great efforts when searching during these 30 days.

Chapter 44: Starlight Unicorn (II)

Thanks a lot for your instructions, senior. Hm, you go too. The elder waved his hand, and the scroll was consumed and assimted into a tile that was then handed to Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen turned towards Ye Hua and performed a knight salute. Go. Ye Hua returned the salute. His face disyed a smile that seemed kind of forced, but his gaze was as fiery as before. Long Hao Chen faced the other side before going through the haze and fading away inside. After looking at his leaving figure, Ye Hua wanted to take his leave as the handicapped elder told him : This kid is a very rare good seedling. Young fellow, to be able to foster this kind of disciple, you are pretty good. Ye Hua looked pleasantly surprised by this praise, Many thanks for seniors praise. The elder indifferently told him, I never praise others, I just state the facts. You go too. Yes. Ye Hua withdrew into the haze; he still looked as respectful as before. Beforeing here, he never told Long Hao Chen about the kind of existences that were the elders here, because when he came before, he was actually not qualified to know about them. These guardians of the Knights Sacred Mountain were all at least seventh step knights from the Alliance whopleted their personal task, got a suit of Secret Silver Foundation Warrior Armor, enjoying their life in retirement here. There were even some eighth step Saint Knights here. And if not for the fact that Divine Knights could only hand over their Divine Throne upon dying, there would perhaps be some who would appear here. With the Knight Temple being the head of the Six Great Temples, the power gathered at the Knights Sacred Mountain could only be described as an absolute terror. Except from the Divine Knights, no one knew how many formidable knights this mountain range contained. However, no matter from where one entered, he would always run into a guardian immediately upon entering the mountain. The elder who appeared at that moment seemed quite feeble, he was still at least a seventh step powerhouse! Even though he was handicapped, even Ye Hua together with Gui Yin could not possibly be a match for him. Besides, the scars and deformities on his body were all brought by battles against the demon race. It could be said that the guardians of the Sacred Mountain were all genuine heroes. Even if the three Divine Knights of the Knight Temple showed up, they had to salute these elders who deserved respect. They were the pride as well as the glory of the Knight Temple. Thus, even a strange phenomenon such as Ye Hua was respectful when facing the elder they met earlier. You also came out, Elder Brother Ye Hua? It looks like this disciple of yours is really young. Such a young knight is really a rare thing. I wonder what his current rank as a Knight is. Gui Ying hadnt left yet, and looking at Ye Hua who just appeared before his sight, he asked with a serious tone. Ye Hua answered in a cold voice, What does it have to do with you? Gui Yingughed out loudly: It naturally has nothing to do with me. Only, we will have to wait here for a while, so how about we make a bet? Between this disciple of yours and my son, which one will get the highest ranked magical beast as a mount? If I win, I wont even bother you, just let me give you a good p like in those days. If you win, as the loser, I will give you 3,000 gold coins, how about it? The purchasing value of gold coins was considerably high. With 3,000 gold coins, he would be able to buy a pretty good magical equipment. Ye Hua coldly looked at him, Then lets wait until the Demon Hunt Selection Competition and then bet. After all, mounts cannot decide everything. Let uspare their rankings during the Demon Hunt Selection Competition; would you have the guts to dare? If I win, I dont want your gold coins, just let me give you a p. Gui Ying showed a cold expression, You are still as arrogant as before. Look at the age of your disciple, how could such a young kid even participate in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition? This is just so ridiculous. Can it be that you forgot that the upper age limit for the Demon Hunt Selection Competition was 25 years-old? Ye Hua indifferently answered: All you have to do is to give me your reply, whether you dare or not. Gui Yings pupils shrank, I dare, what is there to fear? I originally also wanted Gui Wu to participate in this Demon Hunt Selection and Competition to temper himself. He will participate in this Demon Hunt Selection and Competition at 23 years-old and amaze the world! My son is already an eighth rank Knight, so he may even be able to fight his way to reach the final phase of thepetition before bing a Demon Hunter. Ye Hua said: Lets wait for that moment then. Wash your face well for that moment, I dont want to make my hand dirty. Gui Yingsplexion changed, but he didnt dare be rash here; they were in the territory of the Sacred Mountain, so in the case that the guardians acted, his position as the Hall Master of Xiu City would not be enough to excuse him. Long Hao Chen stepped into the haze. Feeling the surrounding light attribute bing increasingly dense, it gave him an indescribablefortable feeling. Deep inside, even if he managed to find his magical beastpanion earlier, he would still want to stay here for thirty days. After all, he could clearly feel that the speed of the cirction of his internal spiritual energy was doubled here, not much lesspared to when he meditated. In these circumstances, he would gain at least three or four spiritual energy levels daily. Walking forward, he suddenly paused. Looking at the scenery before his eyes, it seemed that he had already passed through the haze, as this scenery had be much more distinct. Lifting up his head, he discovered to his astonishment that what he could see waspletely different from the past haze: the sky was clear and blue. With a warm feelinging from the bright sunlight, before his eyes there was a tree swaying to the breeze, letting out a fresh and sweet natural sound, restoring his energy and alleviating his fatigue. At this moment, he arrived at the foot of the mountain range; he could only see a mountain forest before his eyes. There were thick and solid trees, at least 40 or 50 meters high. There were many kind of trees in this diverse mountain forest, and there wasnt a single straight path. Holding the Radiant Shield in his left hand, drawing out the heavy sword with his right hand, and clenching the ck-colored tile together with the hilt of his sword, he was ready to react to any circumstances. _Whoosh_ , a yellow colored figure appeared in front of him, it was a monkey specie magical beast. It was lurking near a tree, but grinned upon seeing Long Hao Chen before turning around and running away. _What a miraculous magical array!_ Long Hao Chen sighed loudly. In the outside world, the majority of magical beasts were hostile to humans. In eight cases out of ten, they would immediately take the initiative to attack upon meeting a human. They were friendlier here, because of the influence of the Knight Temples magical array and the holy aura it emitted. _The Knights Sacred Mountain is really a miraculous ce._ Lowering his head to look at the token in his hand, he saw an orange colored glint, symbolizing that this magical beast was of the third rank. Without dy, Long Hao Chen advanced and entered the mountain forest. A sound was emitted as a powerful defensive [Divine Light Mantle] was released, enveloping him inside. As he was advancing forward, he carefully observed his surroundings. Ye Hua told him earlier that after entering the Knights Sacred Mountain, if he wanted to reach his objective, the first thing he had to do was to climb the mountain and advance towards the interior of the Sacred Mountain. While approaching the center, the magical beasts he would meet would be more powerful. The vegetation in this mountain forest was really dense; it went to the extent that Long Hao Chen had to use his heavy sword to make his way through quickly. After half an hour ofbor, he had finally climbed to the summit of the first mountain. On the road, he also met several magical beasts, but they were all low ranked, at most third or fourth step magical beasts. Upon seeing him, these magical beasts didnt show any desire to get close to him. Climbing over the mountain, the scenery before his eyes suddenly became clear and open, and after continuously moving up and down this mountain range, he was respectful before this scenery. It was a green colored ocean, and from the distant peak, some trees appeared especially tall. Even from his current position, they could be clearly seen. , *[advantage]: by having their erection in contact with her *[ cent bills]: China has cents in bills called jiao *[Guoshu]: Guo here means country and shu means technique *[ 190 centimeters]: Over 6ft tall *[Lake Cui]: Cui Hu, also means Green Lake *[hundred dyuan bills]: 100yuan is their biggest bill *[Daoist Fierce Tiger]: The author of this novel *[Noodles]: made of wheat *[Rice Noodles]: made of rice *[Zhang Tian Tian]: Tian means sweet *[Bajiquan]: Also known as Eight Extremities Fist, but Bajiquan sounds nicer to me *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Starlight Unicorn (III)

So beautiful! Long Hao Chen couldnt refrain from gasping in astonishment. Such a magnificent wide-opened scenery could only rx him and add a beautiful feeling of rity to his mood. Taking deep breaths, he felt the abundant light attribute whirling all around him. Resisting, with great difficulty, the urge to enter into seated meditation, he simply took a look around, then directly advanced at a high pace toward the direction of the core of the Sacred Mountain. The Knights Sacred Mountain was enormous, and covering it was challenging. Five days passed in a sh. Long Hao Chen had climbed to the peak of dozens of mountains, and had discovered that he had only covered a third of the total distance. He was still far from the core of the mountain. In addition, the deeper one went, the higher the peak of the mountains would be, and climbing it would ordingly be harder. However, he still advanced unceasingly, and the grade of the magical beasts he met also increased ordingly. Fifth and sixth step magical beasts seemed to appear endlessly. Sadly, none of them expressed any will to approach him. In the Forget-Me-Not ring, a sufficient amount of food and water was stored. Long Hao Chen would rest for approximately three hours every day, and although he did not meditate here, he could clearly feel the progress of his spiritual energy. Pfiou, need water. After reaching the summit of another mountain, Long Hao Chen could see to his astonishment that on the other side of this mountain, there was ake. From a height, thiske looked like a huge block of sapphire embedded in the mountain, reflecting the shining sun. It looked just like the entrance to a wondend in this human world. Excellent. Teacher said that there would be a lot of strong water type beasts in this kind of region. Maybe I can find my destinedpanion here. Without a single pause, he hastily went down the hill. Maybe it was because he had a goal set, but this time he sped up a lot, and descended the mountain in little time. From afar, he saw that some magical beasts were drinking water on thekeside, and halted his steps, advancing slowly, approaching them from the front. He could quickly see a marvellous scene and Long Hao Chens heart skipped a bit. _What is that?_ More than ten unicorns were lingering near thekeside. These unicorns were clearly amunity, they all had a snow white body, gold-colored mane, and a spiral pattern could be seen drawn on the front of their proud faces. Each one of them had a pair of enormous wings, pure-white colored wings with gold-colored feathers at the edge. _This, this is_ __ _Starlight Unicorns?_ Unicorns were certainly the mounts knights were the most fond of. Regardless of whether on the sky or on the ground, they were extremely powerful. They were really formidable magical beasts on the surface as well as the air. In addition, unicorns were gentle beasts, and rtively docile. Without a doubt, they were also arrogant. Only by conquering one, or if it took a fancy toward a person, would it perhaps consider concluding an agreement. Starlight Unicorns are among the mostmonly known kinds of unicorns. A fully grown Starlight Unicorn is a peak eighth step magical beast. Its strength is just a step away from that of a ninth step magical beast, second only to the ninth step Divine Unicorn. A Starlight Unicorn was, in addition, a light attribute magical beast, so if a poll was to be done, inquiring _What kind of mount do knights desire the most as theirpanion?_ , at least half of those who were asked would have chosen it. Looking at these Starlight Unicorns, Long Hao Chen ceased breathing while approaching them, they were indeed even more formidable than his big sisters Rose Unicorn! They were so pretty, their body simply looked beautiful as well as powerful. The rich holy aura they released was very pure, as if they seemed to havepletely merged with theke, their bodies emitting a faint golden rippling radiance. Taking a deep breath, Long Hao Chen took out his heavy sword as well as his shield, he knew that the opportunity hade. He did the best he could to stay tranquil, slowly walking towards these Starlight Unicorns. Even if it wasnt in the Knights Sacred Mountain, the kind-hearted Starlight Unicorns would probably not rashly attack humans; besides, they werent influenced much by the magical array here. In this group of Starlight Unicorns, there was an especially big one; its body was 6,6 meters (20 feet) long, 4 meters (12 feet) high, and its horn was, in itself, two-thirds of a meter (2 feet) long. Also, it had a pair ofpletely dazzling gold-colored eyes. While the other Unicorns were drinking water, it was the only one who calmly stood there, observing the surroundings. Without a doubt, this unicorn was their king. Seeing Long Hao Chen slowlying towards it, this Starlight Unicorn looked a bit surprised, its right leg lightly hitting the ground. Long Hao Chen hurriedly stood in front of it, and sincerely requested: Respectable Starlight Unicorn, I am a knight from the Knight Temple. I came here to seek apanion. I wonder if it is possible for both of us to initiate an exchange? High leveled magical beasts were generally extremely wise creatures, not the slightest bit inferior to humans, and gaining their acknowledgement was ordingly difficult. Establishingmunication was the first step. This Starlight Unicorn King stared at Long Hao Chens figure with its pair of golden eyes and upon seeing Long Hao Chens golden eyes that were even more limpidly dazzling than his, could not help but feel surprised. An intense light was emitted by the horn at the top of its head, spraying out some gold colored powder that started to envelop Long Hao Chens body. Simultaneously, a faint gold color was released from Long Hao Chens body, especially his chest that was sparkling in golden light. Such an abundant holy aura came from Long Hao Chen, giving a warm and intimate feeling; he immediately felt exalted form the bottom of his heart, this Unicorn King was willing tomunicate with him, it was the proof that he had gotten an opportunity to gain its acknowledgement. It gave him in addition a cordial feeling. Hello there, human. A gentle, manly sound resounded in Long Hao Chens mind. Although Long Xing Yu had told Long Hao Chen before that all high-ranked magical beasts had the ability tomunicate with humans, it was the first time he encountered this kind of magical telepathy, he was thus quite nervous. He hurriedly answered, in his thoughts: Hello there, Starlight Unicorn. The Starlight Unicorn then said: The holy aura released by your body is extremely pure. It is clearly above the level of mine, it makes me feel veryfortable. Long Hao Chens heart skipped up a beat, In that case, can I be yourpanion? The crucial moment arrived. If this Starlight Unicorn gave his agreement, in that case, Long Hao Chen would obtain a peak eighth step formidable magical beast as his mount. Exactly, a young unicorn! If he was to possess such a formidable mount, even Earth Knights would not necessarily be a match for him. The Starlight Unicorn became silent upon hearing Long Hao Chens question. The golden radiance it released became even more intensely strong, and under its influence, Long Hao Chens eyes became even more sparkling, clear like crystal, reflecting this unicorns silhouette. I really want to agree to thine request. The Starlight Unicorn suddenly started using respectful tone, But, I dont want to deceive thee. Long Hao Chen was stunned, What what do you mean by that? Respectable Scion of Light, I can clearly see the source of your light. I would really like to be your mount, yourpanion. If I did so, in my lifetime, it would probably be possible for me to be a ninth step magical beast. But I cannot do that. For the simple reason that we, unicorns, are honest beings. With my innate talent, I do not have the qualifications to serve the Scion of Light. I am sorry, I can only decline your offer. Oh? You dont have the qualifications? Long Hao Chen suddenly gasped. _Even if this Starlight Unicorn says he doesnt have the qualifications, he cannot be so much in awe. Before my eyes is a peak eighth step formidable being after all! If he doesnt have the qualifications, what kind of magical beast would be suitable to be mypanion?_ I am afraid that this time, you went on an errand for nothing. From what I know, inside of this Knights Sacred Mountain, I am not the only one who doesnt have the qualifications, but even the other ninth step magical beast as well as their descendants dont have the qualifications to be yourpanion. The Starlight Unicorn spoke to Long Hao Chen in a helpless tone. , He calls him nin (respectful you) instead of ni (regr you), like he called him in the beginning.

Chapter 46: Starlight Unicorn (IV)

Reminder: The feet used here are Chinese feet: 1 feet = ? of a meter. Long Hao Chen was bbergasted, Then, what kind of magical beast should I seek to be mypanion mount? The Starlight Unicorn answered: You need apanion with the same innate talent as you. How can there be that kind of existence in the scope of this mountain range? Although this environment is not bad, unless we make a contract, we have no real freedom here, and we are forever unable to leave. Long Hao Chen showed a forced smile, Then, how am I supposed to look for a panion? The Starlight Unicorn answered: You may still have some chance. Inside of the great array of this Sacred Mountain, there is a magical core array. Every so often, new magical beasts will be transferred through it. If those humans can let you directly pick a beast from a fresh transfer, then you may be able to get a fitting partner. However, it is also possible that what you will get will be a low level partner. Thank you. Long Hao Chen said, somewhat disappointed. Withdrawing his light aura, the Starlight Unicorn nodded once more in the direction of Long Hao Chen before shifting his gaze to his ns members. The disciple of trash is also trash. Being deluded enough to attempt to get a Starlight Unicorn as a mount, its so ridiculous. A voice full of disdain could be heard. From the middle of the forest, a figure came out. Long Hao Chen stared attentively, his expression immediately bing filled with anger. What came out from the forest was an excessive 6.6 meter (20 feet) long figure on a 5 meter (15 feet) tall magical beast. This magical beast had a red colored body and was entirely covered by thick scales, making it very sturdy. On its back, a man was seated, but wasnt that the person who entered a step earlier than Long Hao Chen into the Knights Sacred Mountain, Gui Wu? A Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, a seventh step magical beast belonging to the inferior-dragon species. However, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm before his eyes was clearly underaged. It couldnt fly but, on the ground, it was extremely powerful in terms of fighting capability. It was a beast of the fire attribute. After no more than a few days, this Gui Wu had surprisingly already found a personal mount. In terms of potential, this Scarlet Shelled Earthworm was an existence of the same rankpared to his fathers Dragon Eagle. I wont allow you to insult my teacher! Long Hao Chen shouted loudly. Gui Wu snorted before saying in response, full of disdain, Unconvinced? Very well! Come and duel me then. Dont worry, I will not kill you, At most, I will just break all your limbs, nothing more. At the same time, something shone in his hand, and on his left hand appeared a shield while on his right hand appeared a 6.66 meters (twenty feet)nce. There were two kinds of weapons generally used by knights: heavy swords andnces. Without considering that he had gotten a mount, even if there wasnt this Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, Gui Wu was confident enough in his ability to defeat Long Hao Chen. Not stepping back, Long Hao Chen, holding his shield and drawing his sword, faced Wu Gui who was riding this Scarlet Shelled Earthworm. Right when he was about to ept Gui Wus challenge, suddenly, a beam of golden light was shot out from the side. This dazzling beam of light enveloped Gui Wu together with his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm inside. The previous Starlight Unicorn appeared by Long Hao Chens side, upright and unafraid. Fear appeared in the eyes of this Scarlet Shelled Earthworm; Gui Wu also felt a formidable oppressing power, he waspletely aghast at this scene. _Can it be that he really got acknowledged by a Starlight Unicorn? No, that is impossible!_ However, Gui Wu was no fool, he wouldnt dare contend against a peak eighth step formidable magical beast; he had practically instantly used his spiritual energy to stimte his tile. A rich shining golden light was emitted and he fled together with his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm. The changes before his eyes caused Long Hao Chen to be astonished, this Starlight Unicorn King slowly lowered its head, its shoulder shaking down, gently looking at him. It apparently wanted to say, _The dignity of the Scion of Light is not something that can be offended by such a clown._ With a respectful cry, the Starlight Unicorn looked once more at Long Hao Chen before suddenly moving out, closely followed by the group of Starlight Unicorns that were previously drinking thekes water; they spread out the wings on their back, gracefully flying through the sky, leaving a golden luster behind and disappearing behind the mountains in a blink of an eye. Standing lifelessly at the same location, Long Hao Chen looked disappointed for a long time because the Starlight Unicorns were magical beasts that were the most suitable to be knights mounts. Both Long Xing Yu and Ye Hua had described to him the features of this kind of magical beast. Starlight Unicorns were a symbol of the light element; they were naturally kind-hearted, gentle, truthful, they treated theirpanions well, and were sure to defend them with their life, but never killed their foes mercilessly. In the Temple Alliance, young girls often fantasized about a Prince Charming on his white horseing to get them, the white horse being this kind of Starlight Unicorn. _If it didnt deceive me, then I will not have any result this time. I can only leave it to my luck and rely on the magical array, or hunt magical beasts by myself in the future, with the goal of taming it._ Both routes were uncertain but, without a doubt, the former one had a higher chance of sess. After all, if he relied on the magical array to gain apanion magical beast, it could potentially result in summoning a quite formidable one. However, taming a magical beast was impossible, as his current cultivation level would only enable him to confront a magical beast of the fifth step at most. If a peak eighth step Starlight Unicorn said that it could not match his innate talent, how could a fifth step wild magical beast be willing to see itself as Long Hao Chenspanion? Moreover, his current goal was his own father, chasing after his fathers steps to be a Divine Knight. If a future Divine Knight were to have a mere fifth step magical beast acting as hispanion, how could this not be as ridiculous as the heavens turning upside down? After pondering for a little moment, Long Hao Chen made his ultimate decision. He chose to take the bet. Although he had already made his decision, Long Hao Chen did not immediately convey the leaving message. After all, he could not inform this elder, a guardian of the Sacred Mountain, of the Starlight Unicorns words. In that case, he would just expose the fact that he possessed the body of a Scion of Light. Therefore, he decided to simply remain in the mountain, until thirty days had passed. In addition, even though he believed the words of the Starlight Unicorn, in the end, he still wanted to leaving it to luck try onest time. What if a ninth step magical beast took a fancy for him here? The reality is always cruel; the words of the Starlight Unicorn werent the slightest bit biased. During the following twenty days, Long Hao Chen had crossed almost the entire mountain range constituting the Knights Sacred Mountain, even entering into the domain of several ninth step magical beasts. However, after a single nce, they only drove him out. There was even a very aggressive magical beast that almost seriously wounded him in the process. Thirty days passed in a blink of eye, and the tile in Long Hao Chens hand undted while shining in a pure gold color. The spreading radiance turned into a light mantle that enveloped him inside, and at the next instant, with a sh, the scenery before his eyes changedpletely. The scenery became once more distinct. The first thing Long Hao Chen saw upon opening his eyes was his teacher. Ye Hua was waiting, showing an anxious expression on his face. Thirty days. During the whole thirty days, Long Hao Chen did not take the initiative to convey the leaving message. It could only mean that he did not find a suitable mount. But how was that possible? After all, he possessed the physique of a Scion of Light. How could it be that no magical beast expressed the desire to get close to him? The handicapped elder was also here, looking at Long Hao Chen all along after the leaving message had been conveyed, he slightly scowled, looking at him with a look filled with doubts. A knight who is not fourteen yet, but is a Grand Knight in terms of cultivation training. Those magical beasts should be fighting among themselves to be hispanion! Could it be that he was too high from their scope? , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Long Hao Chens Companion Mount (I)

Besides Ye Hua and the elder guardian, Gui Ying and Gui Wu were, unexpectedly, also there. Gui Wu was so frightened by the Starlight Unicorn that he immediately used his tile, though hearing afterwards about the bet with Ye Hua and its stakes frightened him even more. He hastily told his father everything that happened when he met Long Hao Chen. Gui Ying was also bbergasted. If that Long Hao Chen got a mount like a Starlight Unicorn, his son had absolutely no way to even be a match for him. Therefore, the father and son decided to remain, cultivating outside of the Sacred Mountain while waiting for Long Hao Chens return, to see what kind of mount he would get. The waitsted twenty days in total; seeing that Long Hao Chen didnt show up at all, Gui Yings smile became wider and wider day after day, and he asionally provoked Ye Hua with a few sentences. At this moment, Gui Ying couldnt help but feel as if he was in heaven upon seeing Long Hao Chening back empty handed. Heughed out loudly, looking at Ye Hua, Elder brother Ye Hua, dont forget the stake of our gamble. I look forward to meeting you at the Demon Hunt Selection Competition. Wuer, lets go. At the same time he was speaking, Gui Ying made Gui Wu summon his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm on purpose. Showing on his face an expression full of disdain, Gui Ying left with the arrogant Gui Wu at high speed. Long Hao Chens gentle jade face was filled with anger, he coldly looked at Gui Ying and his son who were leaving as he engraved this disgrace in his memory. You didnt find apanion? Ye Hua showed a bitter face. He absolutely did not think that his disciple would follow in his steps; this time, he did even worse than him. Long Hao Chen lowered his head, Sorry Teacher, I disappointed you. The elder, puzzled, reacted: With such an innate talent, how is it that you couldnt find a mount? Dont tell me that all of these magical beasts are blind? Its so strange. Long Hao Chen showed a forced smile, I dont know why it went like that either. I crossed the entire Sacred Mountain, meeting a variety of magical beasts, but none of them was willing to let me approach it. The elder let out a sigh, You dont have to care so much about that. A lot of warriors who didnt have a formidable mount either, still became powerhouses. A mount is very important to knights like us, but it isnt everything. What is your final choice? Do you want to tame a magical beast by yourself in the future, or do you want to try out your luck here? Only, you have to know that if you use the magical array to summon a mount, you will have to conclude a contract with it, so the magical beast that will be summoned will only be able toplete a contract with you. We, knights, can rece regr mounts, but when summoning itpleted with a contract of equals, the contract is only nullified when thepanion mount dies. Your teacher and I can dirty our hands and take care of this little matter for you, but if we are to do it, it will, for sure, be likely to leave a traumatic experience in your heart, which will be detrimental to your future cultivation. Long Hao Chen gave his reply without hesitation: Elder, I am willing to try out my luck. The elder nodded, Then its okay. However, dont get your hopes up too high. The more one expects, the bigger his disappointment will be. At this point, he seemed as if he was speaking about his personal experiences, as the handicapped elder showed a disappointed and frustrated face. A golden tile appeared in the elders hands, and with little gestures, he created a golden colored light that enveloped the three of them inside. High overhead, six bizarre symbols appeared, twisting the space around it. Long Hao Chen vaguely understood that the elder was using the power of the magical array, using a peculiar method to control the inner power of the Knights Saint Mountain. Apparently, the reason why some mysterious phenomenons urred here was inextricably linked to this magical array. The golden light was glittering, causing Long Hao Chen to keep his his eyes shut; he discovered to his astonishment that during this teleportation, the self-rotations in his chest had be more and more fierce, moving with at least tenfold the ordinary speed. This process onlysted for roughly ten seconds, after which the self-rotations immediately slowed down, recovering to its original speed. Long Hao Chen then opened his eyes, discovering that the scenery around him hadpletely changed. They were, to his surprise, inside of a cavern, and in its walls, blocks of precious stones were iid. An insipid golden light illuminated the entire cavern. Inside the cavern, the light attribute was not strong. It couldntpare to the Knights Sacred Mountain at all, it was just at most a little stronger than outside. This cavern was enormous. Lifting his head, one could see that the roof was 66,6 meters (200 feet) high, the cave had an irregr circr shape as far as one could see, and its diameter was at least 333 meters (1000 feet) long, just like a sort of enormous public square. However, this ce was absolutely empty, no one else other than them was inside. Long Hao Chen looked at the ground and discovered, to his astonishment, that there were on the ground some kind of trapezoidal pattern, tightly linked to each other, forming an enormous ring with the shape of a symbol he did not recognize. These patterns were darkly colored. No need to look, and neither do you need to say you are unable to recognize it. Even old geezers like us dont recognize these patterns. It is a spiritualnguage from ancient times, thenguage used by an ancient race that is already extinguished. Our ancestors from the Knight Temple wondered what kind of mystery it was upon discovering it too, but around this enormous magical array in the Knights Sacred Mountain, a lot of areas existed since an ancient time, drawing their power from mysterious spiritual incantations. This is the first transportation array. Through it, a link can be established to a parallel space for a little moment. To activate it once consumes a huge energy, so it will onlyst fifteen minutes. If, within fifteen minutes, you cannot find andplete a contract with apanion who is willing to get close to you, I am afraid that you will really have to return empty-handed from this trip. The elders voice sounded like he felt quite sorry for a genius such as Long Hao Chen; he had never met such a genius in his life before. If such an outstanding young child could not obtain a formidable mount, it would really be a pity. Thank you elder. Long Hao Chen respectfully saluted the elder. The elder shook his head, Come in the transporting array and sit down. After I activate it, you should be able to feel it to some extent. Yes. Long Hao Chen acted in ordance to the elders instructions, takingrge strides towards the center of the array. It was shaped like a circle with a diameter of 10 meters (30 feet) and there was arge symbol in its center. This symbol looked somewhat simr to the word 硱, but it had a kind of distorted appearance, and for an unknown reason, when Long Hao Chen saw this enormous word, the Saint Spiritual Stove in his chest began throbbing all of a sudden. Sitting cross-legged, Long Hao Chen got rid of all of his distracting thoughts. This was hisst opportunity. Ye Hua was almost as nervous as Long Hao Chen. He tightly clenched his fists to the extent that the veins could be seen, his fingernails almost digging in his palms. The elder slowly raised his hand with the gold colored tile inside. Ye Hua clearly saw that at this instant, his right hand turned into a golden colored prating light, his palm seemingly bing just like a sort of precious stone. It was [Brilliant Body], the symbol of seventh step knights, turning a portion of their body into light. Temple Knights with a formidable level of cultivation could even turn their entire body into light. In this form, the holy attribute spiritual energy they could use would double. Even though it could only be maintained for a short time, it would double the defense of the body against any type of attack, what kind of notion was that? , means as *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Long Hao Chens Companion Mount (II)

Soon enough, Ye Hua discovered that it was not only the hand of the elder that turned into a body of light, but even his head and his few sparse specks of white hair that suddenly became gold colored, his head bing transparent. As if it was soaking in an enormous ocean of holy aura, his hair was rising; Ye Hua, feeling surprised, was falling back, leaning his body against the stone wall at a side of the cave. A [Complete Brilliant Body]? Ye Hua cried out in rm. [Brilliant Body] was, after all, something only knights of at least the seventh step, Temple Knights, could use. But in a higher cultivation level, the range it could cover would be increased. Only when the appearance of ones whole body turned into something simr to a crystal could the ability be called [Complete Brilliant Body], symbol of a ninth rank Temple Knight! In other words, the elder before their eyes could be an eighth step Saint Knight, or at least a ninth rank Temple Knight. This kind of existence, in the outside world, could be the Hall Master of a regional Knight Hall. The effect of [Brilliant Body] could not go to the extent of affecting an entire area. At most, it could double the offensive power, and the higher ones cultivation level, the longer [Brilliant Body] couldst. The elder coughed before suddenly pouring the light elemental spiritual energy into the golden tile; at this moment, a rich bright light spread out. The bright light spread out in every direction, the ancient trapezoids on the ground were all stimted, shining one after another while an imposing magic undtion started urring. As Ye Hua was leaning against the wall, looking at this scene, he felt as if his eyes were drawn into the scene, and he had a strange feeling as if he had finally broken through the threshold of the 3,000th spiritual energy level. _PshC _ All the ancient symbols were set ame in a split second, the multitudinous patternsposing of ancient symbols turned into ripples of light, intensely shining throughout the room. At this moment, Long Hao Chen felt that the Saint Spiritual Stove in his chest was wriggling violently in his body. The dense external light attribute element seemed to stimte the Spiritual Stove in his body, passing through Long Hao Chens body with a part of it remaining inside, stimting the self-rotations in his body. The myriad of golden bright patterns soared and began to whirl in this process. What it formed looked like a huge tornado that did not have the slightest bit of air inside: this huge and terrifying shape was made of light element. Long Hao Chen suddenly felt his body shake. It was as if an inexhaustible source of light energy had filled his body, boosting the self rotations that urred in it. _Mh_ A sound simr to a bird humming could be heard as the light pattern converged at a point, making a golden circr vortex of light appear, while simultaneously, from this vortex, a golden light grew suddenly bigger and bigger. Long Hao Chen, seated upright in the middle of the great array, was being enveloped by this vortex. The voice of the handicapped elder reached Long Hao Chens ears, The selection may now start. You will be able to feel the aura of countless magical beasts. From these auras, you have to find the one that seems the most intimate and suitable to be your equal for a contract. Keep in mind that you have to find the one that seems the most intimate to you, otherwise, the contract will be impossible to make and there will be no way to bring it to our world. Long Hao Chen could clearly hear everything the handicapped elder said, but he did not give a single reply because a bizarre feeling was already filling his body. At the moment this golden light dropped, Long Hao Chen felt as if his soul was already far away, entering in another mystical world. This world was filled with countless specks of light. These specks of light converged to form an essence of light element that surrounded him. The current him seemed as if he was the center of this world; the light essence contained countless specks of light that followed his gaze, as if they were under his control. However, the specks of light were really too numerous and brilliantly colored. Each speck of light had a different aura. A quarter of an hour, he firmly kept in his mind that he had only a quarter of an hour. He had a single chance at this. Unwilling to spend too much time pondering, even more unwilling to waste time, Long Hao Chen began casually looking at the numerous specks of light, filtering the aura of each one of them. He had no way of knowing that each one of this essences of light was a parallel space, and these specks of lightposing it were the auras emitted by magical beastsing from this parallel space. This location, the antique great array, was precisely a formidable existence that included this parallel space. It was also the core of the Knights Sacred Mountain. Coldness, fear, opposition, wrath he could feel countless states of emotions, each one of themunching attacks against him mentally. Only, these attacks were not powerful at all. Relying on his formidable mental strength, he increased his perception. It seemed as if every split seconds, dozens of golden specks were filtered out. The benefits of having an exceptional innate mental strength were undoubtedly manifesting right now. If it was someone else, he would perhaps not even be able to examine a tenth of these specks of light. Time passed, minute by minute, second by second, and Long Hao Chen could not help but feel more and more anxious. He could feel that the auras that were affectionate to him were way too few, the overwhelming majority of these specks of lights was transmitting terror, as if they were afraid of him. The quarter of an hour was going to soone to an end, and Long Hao Chen could feel that everything before his eyes gradually looked more and more illusionary. _No, no, I have to find mypanion!_ Long Hao Chen unwillingly bellowed. At this moment, his perception of the surroundings suddenly became a bit clearer. Inside of the cave, the elder kept observing Long Hao Chen. The reason why the time limit was only set at a quarter of an hour was that the extreme limit of time Long Hao Chens spiritual energy enabled him to bear this was precisely a quarter of an hour. It was also the reason why only young talents under 20 years of age could use this method. If the age exceeded this number, the magical array would instead harm the user. At this moment, a quarter of an hour had passed, but the golden light Long Hao Chen emitted had not disappeared yet. His face was very pale and he was clenching his teeth in pain. _What formidable willpower!_ The elder secretly gasped in admiration. He clearly knew that when too much spiritual energy had been consumed, and the body could not stand the process anymore, the magical array would send the person back. Only formidable willpower could enable one to endure it longer and stay for a few more moments. I found it! The scenery before Long Hao Chens eyes became unreal. He was in a fuzzy state and subconsciously shifted his look at the direction of the light essence. An intense feeling of affection and happiness waspletely filling his soul. Without hesitation, Long Hao Chen initiated the contract of equals. The stamp that Ye Hua handed him earlier used his mental strength to connect the two souls. As long as both sides agreed, it would seed, but otherwise, it had no way to seed. It was a kind of peaceful magical contract. As time was running out, he did not even have the time to show his excitement. With a bright radiance, the link waspleted in a sh, and as he was filled with joy and cordiality, his breath seemed to have elerated intensely. Both sides had agreed to the contract in a split second. The light specks disappeared together with the wide area of light essences and everything turned back to a golden color. In the middle of this zing gold color, Long Hao Chen felt that another presence was together with him. It was an aura that was brimming with affection. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Long Hao Chens Companion Mount (III)

He seeded! The handicapped elder called out, pleasantly surprised. His [Brilliant Body] was gradually reverting back to normal as the bright colored lights that filled the whole cave ordingly disappeared. The elders forehead was already full of sweat; clearly, supporting this enormous transporting magical array was a huge burden for him. Hearing about the situation, Ye Hua hurried together with the elder to the center of the cave. As the bright light became weaker, Long Hao Chens figure gradually appeared before them. Except for the fact his face was somewhat pale, there wasnt any other change on him. As his soul returned, Long Hao Chen feltpletely empty, inside as well as outside. Almost all of his internal spiritual energy had been consumed, making his originally slow-moving self-rotations almost stagnate, together with an important dimming of the light emitted by his Saint Spiritual Stove. Fortunately, as a knight, he still had his external spiritual energy. Although he felt empty inside, it still did not affect his ordinary movements. Subconsciously, Long Hao Chens vision shifted towards the presence that was in front of his body. The fact that he exerted so much mental and physical strength, that it was precisely a month ago that he came to the Knights Sacred Mountain, wasnt that just for his sake? However, when Long Hao Chen saw thepanion he concluded a contract of equals with facing him, he was immediately astonished; the nearby Ye Hua and handicapped elder were astonished as well. The reason why they looked so sluggish wasnt that Long Hao Chenspanion magical beast looked too formidable, but it was actually that It was a lizard, a little more than a meter tall, with ayer of thin ck scales covering its skin. These scales formed an exotic shape somewhat resembling a trapezoid. Two arcs were formed from both sides and linked together, forming a final shape quite simr to that of a tower shield like those used by heavy armored knights. Its head did not look specialpared to ordinary lizards, its pair of little red colored eyes winking while looking at Long Hao Chen, expressing an indescribable familiarity. It was sticking out its tongue ordinarily, seemingly able to feel Long Hao Chens vor under his foot. If it was only that, Long Hao Chen would not look so dull, the fact it was at most a second step Earthfire Lizard was no big deal for him. However, on the body of this lizard, there were dozens of crip-crossed scars, its blood was flowing all around, and a big bulge could be seen on its neck, buckling upwards; this bulge was almost as thick as its neck. Using the word ugly to describe the scars on its body would almost seem like apliment. Long Hao Chen didnt expect at all that all those hardships he went through to finally manage to summon hispanion would result in summoning a seemingly handicapped creature. Additionally, it was a second step evil mutated Earthfire Lizard. Since the time Long Hao Chen began cultivating, everything went smoothly until now; this was the first blow he ever received. Woo wooC The Earthfire Lizard seemed like it enjoyed Long Hao Chens smell: it was rubbing against his body, showing intimate little red eyes. A sort of forced smile appeared on Long Hao Chens face: through the pact of equals, he could feel how strong this lizard was. It had a cultivation level corresponding approximately to the second step. _Starlight Unicorn King, did you deceive me? You told me that because of my body of Scion of Light, you werent qualified to be mypanion, but then, what is it that I have before my eyes right now? A second step Earthfire Lizard!_ Ye Hua silently walked to Long Hao Chens side, pulling him from the ground. He unenthusiastically said: What you have to bear is nothingpared to what happened to me. You couldnt find a satisfactorypanion mount in the Sacred Mountain, so you will simply have to rely on hunting magical beasts to find one in the future. If you can reach the step of Divine Knight, even making an enormous dragon to yield will not be impossible. With the sound of jingling metal, Ye Hua took out the heavy sword from his back, preparing tounch a powerful blow. The Earthfire Lizard seemed to be able to sense its life being threatened, and although it was covered all over in scars, it hid behind Long Hao Chens back, exposing only its drum-shaped head, shooting terrified looks at Ye Hua. Teacher, what are you doing?! With a _Dang_ sound, Long Hao Chen took out his sword and used its handle to block Ye Huas chop. Ye Hua didnt expect that, Little fool, dont tell me that you want to keep this useless cripple? You have to know that if it is not killed, the contract with you will bepleted and you will never be able to conclude another contract of equals with another magical beast. Long Hao Chens look was unwilling, helpless, and even angry, but he did not show the slightest murderous intent. Teacher, do you remember the story of you and your Vibrant Mountain Bird? In that extremely difficult moment, he chose you, and as a result, you regarded him like your closest rtive. Dont you know that it was at thest moment that this little guy answered to my call? Despite the fact that hes not powerful at all, that hes handicapped, hes the one who epted making a contract with me at the veryst moment. We arepanions, so I want to protect him, to keep him safe, even if I cannot get a genuine mount for the rest of my life. I cannot give up on him because of what he is. It is not by fear of being haunted by a traumatic experience. It is because at the moment we concluded the agreement, he already became my dear rtive. As he said this, Long Hao Chen slowly crouched down, gently patting this Earthfire Lizards head. He could feel that its scales were covered in a kind of silk-like material that did not feel thick at all. The Earthfire Lizard did not move the slightest bit. It was as if it had turned into a statue, looking attentively at Long Hao Chen with its two red colored eyes. Dont worry little guy, I will not abandon you. Neither will I require you to fight with me. I just wish that you could be my friend, is that okay? The Earthfire Lizard recovered its ability to move, and gently stretched out its tongue, licking Long Hao Chens hand. Ye Hua withdrew his heavy sword and sighed, Kid, you are really too soft-hearted, your feelings are too deep. Long Hao Chen gave his teacher an apologetic look, Teacher, trust me, I will cultivate very seriously, so even if I dont have apanion mount to assist me, I wont lose to this Gui Wu. Teacher, my internal energy is nearly exhausted, can you please help me treat the injuries on mypanions body? What else could Ye Hua say? He simply silently nodded, Okay. Using holy light in his hands, he released a recovering skill, while the handicapped elder, who didnt say anything until now, suddenly interrupted him: Wait a moment. Mh? Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua turned towards him at the same time. The handicapped elder said in a deep voice: If you dont want him to die, dont treat him. Long Hao Chen stood, doubtfully asking, Senior, why? The handicapped senior gave him a serious look, showing a sincere smile: You are a good person, a really good person. I can see in you the standards of a knight that are pity andpassion. Unfortunately, although you are kind-hearted, you must bring yourself to abandon this little guy. I am afraid that you cannot take him away, for the simple reason that he possesses a physique with the darkness attribute. If you are to use holy light skills to treat him, it will only harm him instead. Darkness attribute! Long Hao Chen was astonished. The elder nodded, answering: When summoning a magical beast through the magical array, some wille from a ce simr to the abyss. Regardless of their elemental attribute, those ones will innately have a physique with the darkness attribute. All the darkness attribute magical beasts, upon leaving this cave, will get killed by our great holy light array. But here, you cannot send him back to cancel the contract and any kind of magical beast has no way to affect this magical array. Although it looks strange to me that a a magical beast with this kind of dark attribute physique could be attracted to you, and furthermore make an agreement with you, I have no other option but to tell you that by choosing to answer to your call, he followed the path of his own demise. WhaC? Long Hao Chen was shocked. It seemed as if this Earthfire Lizard had understood everything, as it pressed up against Long Hao Chens body, trembling and showing a pair of little red eyes brimming with fear. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Long Hao Chenspanion mount (IV)

The elder bitterly said: Give it up. I know you are really unwilling, but it will not influence your future cultivation. Even through the option of taming a magical beast yourself, you would get a much more powerful mount than this mutated Earthfire Lizard. Long Hao Chen lowered his head and saw the Earthfire Lizards pair of eyes. They were linked by contract, so he could feel the current state of mind of this Earthfire Lizard. This little guy seemed like he could understand the content of their conversation. His current face was full of fear, loneliness, pain, and unwillingness. Long Hao Chen naturally wanted a formidablepanion mount, but seeing the changes on this Earthfire Lizardsplexion, he was reminded of the time when his parents left Odin Mountain. That time, did he not experience the same feelings? _Hes mypanion! How can I abandon him like that?_ Elder, is there really no other solution? I dont want to abandon him. Long Hao Chen stooped, and hugged it without avoiding the slightest bit the parts of its body that were dirtied and full of dark, red-colored blood. Held in Long Hao Chens embrace, the Earthfire Lizards mood became better, moving its head on Long Hao Chens bosom. Just like a kid who found a close rtive, its two thick and solid ws were holding Long Hao Chens shoulder, tightly hooking his clothes. The elder hesitated for a moment, and lightly sighed, You are actually such a kind-hearted kid. Its not that theres no solution, but it will be enormously harmful to your body. Long Hao Chen held the Earthfire Lizard, weighing 25 kilograms, and feeling his heartbeat, pursed up his lips, Please give me your pointers, elder. The elders voice sank down, If you want him to leave this ce alive, there will only be a single solution: to change his physique. Turn its attribute from darkness to light. Only then, he will be able to safely leave. Ye Hua was bbergasted, Elder, it doesnt seem very realistic. How can a darkness attribute body turn into a light attribute? The elder answered, Of course it is impossible for us, but it is possible for him. Relying on the existence of this contract of equals, this Earthfire Lizard receives a lot of power from you. And using your body which possesses a strong light attribute, you may transmit your blood into the Earthfire Lizards body, to wash off its darkness attribute. Ye Hua took a deep breath, his ice-cold face showing a look full of iprehension, How much blood would be needed to aplish that? The elder shook his head, I dont know either. It depends on how much of Long Hao Chens blood the Earthfire Lizard will reject during the process, as well as the quality of the light attribute energy contained in his blood. Regardless of whether it seeds or not, the vital energy of this kid will be reduced. In my opinion, it is really not worth saving a second step magical beast of this kind. Hao Chen. Ye Hua turned at the direction of Long Hao Chen, he was shocked like never before. Teacher, no need to say it, I have already made my decision. Since we entered into an agreement, this is the destiny that links me to him. If I am to abandon such a little guy and forsake his life, how can I deserve to be called a Guardian Knight? Long Hao Chen, full of determination, tightly held the Earthfire Lizard in his embrace; bowing little by little, he performed a salute to the elder, I await the Elders guidance on how to do it. The elder sighed, A kid with your temperament is really a rare thing; even though you didnt get a formidable mount this time, your future aplishment will be limitless. The method is simple: make use of your contract of equals and let your blood pass through your agreement mark to enter his body. Many thanks, elder. Long Hao Chen quickly replied before slowly crouching down, facing the Earthfire Lizard on the ground. The Earthfire Lizard lifted its head, gave a look to Long Hao Chen, unceasingly letting out Boo hoo sounds. Dont be afraid, I will do all I can to save you. I am already yourpanion, if I cannot protect you, how can I be considered a Guardian Knight? Long Hao Chen sat cross legged, facing the Earthfire Lizard; before thinking, he had already pulled and brought the marks of equals on both sides closer. A contract of equals, also known as the summoning contract of equals, required a human initiating a link andunching the request, enabling him to summon the magical beast. A drop of purple-colored radiance lit on Long Hao Chens forehead, the purple light gradually growing to the size of a fingernail, faintly discernible on his forehead. Yi. The handicapped elder gave Ye Hua an astonished look, Its so strange, his agreement contract mark seems extremelyplex. Normally, the more formidable the magical beast that agreed to the contract was, the moreplex the agreement contract mark would be. Ye Hua looked full of doubts, What?! Isnt that a mere speck of light? The elder shook his head, answering, No, it is nowhere so simple: the agreement contract mark is just covered by this purple light; even though I cannot see how it is shaped, it is for sure not so simple. Look at this Earthfire Lizard. Apanying the activation of Long Hao Chens contract, a contract mark appeared on his forehead as well as on the body of the Earthfire Lizard. Generally speaking, the human as well as the magical beast were supposed to have the contract mark appear on their forehead, but it was not the case with this Earthfire Lizard. An excessivelyrge bright purple-colored pattern was slowly appearing on its back until it almost covered the lizard entirely. This dense bright purple color looked like ayer of mist, covering its back. Although it was many times bigger than Long Hao Chens head, they could not see clearly the pattern of the purple-colored mist enveloping its back. Long Hao Chen told the Earthfire Lizard in a calm voice, Little guy, dont be afraid. I will use the light attribute in my blood to change the attribute of your body. I dont know if it will be painful, but you have to endure, okay? Upon hearing his words, the Earthfire Lizard unexpectedly nodded, showing a look full ofprehension, its pair of red eyes filling with gratitude and affection. Long Hao Chen lifted both of his hands, and a thin ball appeared in his left hands forefinger. Immediately, a gold-colored light appeared from his fingertips that released a golden light about 6.6 centimeters long. Externalizing the internal spiritual energy, this ability was the symbol of knights of the fourth rank. Third step knights could, through the use of [Lightning Cut], externalize their spiritual energy, but fourth step Grand Knights did not have to use a skill to externalize their spiritual energy. With a spark of golden light, Long Hao Chen cut open his right wrist and, at this moment, fresh blood gushed out, funneling into the big mark on the Earthfire Lizards back. Woo- Thepanion screamed; the Earthfire Lizard lifted its head, its body violently shaking. Its four ws exerted a lot of physical force, grabbing the spiritual mark on the ground to stabilize its own body and keep itself from moving suddenly. The handicapped elder disyed an astonished face once more, This Earthfire Lizard is really mentally capable. It seems that he is more mysterious than his appearance would suggest it. Ye Hua showed a smile that looked kind of forced, I hope its true. He really wanted to prevent Long Hao Chen from proceeding with this; a second step Earthfire Lizard was really not worth it at all! Besides, the Demon Hunt Selection Competition was going to take ce in half a year. With his vital force decreased at this moment, it was uncertain whether Long Hao Chen would be able to handle thepetition. However, could he really block this disciple of his? Long Hao Chen did not lose his spirit yet; he did not give up hope and, from Ye Huas point of view, this was something even more precious than the title of _Demon Hunter_. Long Hao Chens blood dripped onto the mark on the Earthfire Lizards back, instantly melting into it, and golden halos spread all around this purple mark, covering the entire body of this Earthfire Lizard. As each halo of golden light flowed around, and the Earthfire Lizards body shivered violently, as if its body was withstanding electric shocks. However, like before, it did not move. In a simr way,yer afteryer of golden halos flowed around, as a terrifying darkness attribute gas was being emitted from the Earthfire Lizards body and progressively dispersed. , Little reminder, [Lightning Cut] is the ability of Genuine Knights that can be used both in close quarters and at a range *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 51 - Evolution (1)

Chapter 51: Evolution (1)

Long Hao Chen observed the evolution of the Earthfire Lizard carefully; his right hand was clenching into a fist. Despite the fact that his blood was still being drained, he looked quite stable. Layer uponyer of gold-colored halos were unceasingly cleansing the body of the Earthfire Lizard as it emitted a white smoke, the wounds on its back bing vestiges of the past. Clearly, the dark energy of this Earthfire Lizard was being attacked by the holy energy, and it looked painful. If not for the contract of equals between them, therge amount holy energy released by Long Hao Chens physique as a Scion of Light would have already destroyed it. Veins appeared on the Earthfire Lizards face; blood was continuously seeping out from its mouth as it violently shivered, its four ws tightly dug into the ground from beginning to end to prevent it from making sudden movements. It lifted up its head towards Long Hao Chen, and human and beast looked at each other with looks filled with determination and affection. Thats right, their eyes were filled with the affection family members would have for each other. With his blood still being drained, Long Hao Chens face became paler and paler, and signs that he was bing feebler were appearing. Even though he was already above the 1,000th spiritual energy level, he was still human in the end. If a human lost a third of his blood, he would die, and at the rate he was losing his blood, it would not be long before this kind of fatality would ur. Time passed, minute by minute, second by second, and both Ye Hua and the handicapped elder were, at this moment, extremely nervous. The handicapped elder, guardian of the Sacred Mountain, was not young anymore, and it was not the first time he had seen this kind of situation. It looked like this was likely to be sessful. In the first scenario, the Earthfire lizard would not be able to bear the holy blood baptism and would die. In the second scenario, after the holy blood baptism was done, it would be magical beast with a physique of light and Long Hao Chen would have reached his goal. In the third scenario, the Earthfire Lizard would not be able to stand the pain and would run away from the baptism. All of the effort would have been for naught in this case. In the fourth scenario, the one that the disabled elder and Ye Hua were the most unwilling to see, Long Hao Chen would be unable to persevere because of the blood loss. If it got to that point, not only would the Earthfire Lizards baptism not bepleted, but Long Hao Chens life would also be endangered because of the blood loss. Long Hao Chens right hand that was originally steady began to gradually shiver more and more. His fair white skin had already turned pale, the original luster and moisture had disappeared long ago. The speed of the blood flowing in his wrist was also gradually slowing; besides the external harm to his body, he had also lost arge amount of blood. However, the strange thing was that, right now, the body of the Earthfire Lizard was not shivering. On its originally pitch ck colored scales, a faint golden luster was forming little by little. The rotted wounds were healing at an astonishing speed. Clearly, the hard times were over, and its body was transforming at an astonishing speed. The most peculiar changes were on the contract mark on the bodies of Long Hao Chen and this Earthfire Lizard, simultaneously acquiring, little by little, a purple-gold color. It was already purple-colored in the past, but with the addition of this faint golden luster, the whole mark appeared a lot more dazzling. Theyer of purple mist also became duller, and behind it, astonishinglyplex patterns could faintly be seen. Long Hao Chens body shook, almost falling down. Not good, Hao Chen cannot persevere. Ye Huas heart was beating quickly. He could not refrain himself from rushing to his side. Keep waiting. The handicapped elder lifted his hand, blocking Ye Hua from rushing forward. Long Hao Chen lifted up his left hand, pressing it on the neck of the Earthfire Lizard to support his own body. He was already unable to see anything before him clearly; the blood loss gave him a dizzy feeling that could make him fall down at any time. _Do not abandon, do not renounce._ Long Hao Chen gritted his teeth and bore the pain, silently remembering these six words. Despite the fact that he had not spent a significant amount of time together with this Earthfire Lizard, it was the first time he experienced the effects of this contract of equals. The fact that he felt as familiar with it as a close rtive, while hating the idea of having to leave its side, showed that it already had an important ce in his heart. Long Hao Chen had no siblings; these few years, Li Xin was like a dear sister to him. A moment ago, he made this ultimate decision because he thought if such a cmity were to fall upon him, would Li Xin not have chosen to do the same? Companion, what is apanion? Together in life and in death, that is what a genuinepanion is. Vaguely seeing the Earthfire Lizard in his sight at this moment, Long Hao Chen did not find it ugly at all. At this moment, more than a third of Long Hao Chens blood was already drained out; his situation was critical. The handicapped elder had stopped Ye Hua, but made preparations to intervene at any time. In the case Long Hao Chens vitality was exhausted to the very limit, he would immediately make his move HOUUC A roaring sound full of excitement resounded while a golden luster was being emitted from within the Earthme Lizard. The darkness attribute aura vanishedpletely, together with its fierceness. A golden light shot out from the hands of the elder directed at Long Hao Chens wounded wrist, healing it instantly. Long Hao Chens body felt weak: he had already fallen down, but he still did not lose consciousness because he wanted to see whether he had seeded or not. A wet tongue was gently licking his face; the pair of red little eyes brimming with health and vigor were just like two embedded rubies. The gold-purple-colored agreement mark on its back was quietly disappearing, and the wounds on the Earthfire Lizards body had already disappeared as its scales took the shape of a shield and a golden luster was being emitted all around. Ye Hua let out a sigh and advanced at a stroll, with the intent of having Long Hao Chen take some medicine. He knew that Long Hao Chen had seeded, but he had paid a great price for that. Having lost so much blood, he would, unfortunately, take about a year to recover. HOUUC The Earthfire Lizard suddenly approached Ye Hua, letting out a deep roar and looking at him with its pair of healthy little red-colored eyes. A big fireball was released from its mouth, aiming to bombard Ye Hua directly. Mh?! Ye Hua really did not expect that action as a [Divine Light Mantle] wrapped around him, aiming to block the iing fireball. Lets not approach him for the moment! It seems like he is trying to do something! The handicapped elder shouted loudly. The Earthfire Lizards little fireball stopped Ye Hua in his tracks, and its gaze was directed at Long Hao Chens weakened face once more. Right afterwards, a purple-colored brilliance suddenly appeared, emitted from its back and directed at the top of the cave. This purple ray was aimed straight; it was as if its back was suddenly split open, letting bright patterns appear, before the Earthfire Lizard lifted its head once more. Only, at this moment, a purple-colored brilliance appeared in its pair of red eyes. These purple shrouded eyes seemed ice cold and noble. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 52 - Evolution (2)

Chapter 52: Evolution (2)

Purple-colored patterns extended on its back from its tail to neck, and from there, starting to extend in a non-straight line into two paths: the first one going to the top of its head and the second one going to the bulge above its neck. A peculiar spiritual energy was calmly undting. The Earthfire Lizard suddenly seemed to be in pain, but it was mostly excited. Its body started to shake violently. This unstable spiritual energy was still surging out in the shape of purple-colored lines, but the level of these undtions clearly exceeded what an average second step magical beast could do. Evolution?! This Earthfire Lizard wants to evolve! The handicapped elder cried out in rm. A magical beast evolving was not a rare thing, but generally, only magical beasts above the fifth step had the possibility to evolve. This Earthfire Lizard was merely a second step magical beast, but right after having received Long Hao Chens blood, it wanted to evolve! With a _Pu_ sound, intense purple-colored turbulences suddenly appeared in the air, and immediately, its one meter tall body started to grow at an intense speed that could be seen with the naked eye. The evolution was not just about the size of its body, the scales also underwent fantastic changes: from their originally t and slippery appearance, they became sharper and longer, visibly thicker. The most peculiar change was on the bulge above its neck: this bulge, unexpectedly, expanded together with the rest of the body. With a _Puchi_ sound, the body of the Earthfire Lizard suddenly became stiff, and immediately afterwards, from the bulge on its neck, a brand new head started forming, appearing by the side of its former head. At this moment, its body grew two meters long from its former length of a meter. A purple light suddenly shone and it was as if everything became motionless. The purple colored patterns extended to its second head, a few traces of bulges forming above this second head; it looked much fiercer. It seemed that after the evolution, there was no difference between the second head and the first one. The only thing that was not simr was the color of the eyes. This second head had a pair of gold-colored eyes. After the evolution of the Earthfire Lizard, its four main limbs became much thicker and the shell on its back more resistant. Its new appearance after the evolution, resulting in this pair of heads, did not look handicapped anymore like it used to because of the former bulge on its neck. After having evolved, by the root of the neck of the second head, a new bulge appeared again. Only, it was not as big as the former bulge, it was just the size of a fist. Fourth step middle rank? Ye Hua and the handicapped elder looked at each other, face to face; in their eyes, there was a look of extreme shock. Each magical beast step was divided into low rank, middle rank, high rank, and peak rank. To jump from the middle rank of the second step to the middle rank of the fourth step was an eight-stage evolution! Not even speaking about having seen that in the past, they had not even heard about this kind of phenomenon. Ordinary evolutions of magical beast were supposed to make only a few changes to the body at most, increasing strength by a bit and raising from the middle rank to the high rank. A step evolution was something they never heard of, but it was just aplished by this Earthfire Lizard before their eyes. No, it could not be called an Earthfire Lizard anymore: the second heads attribute waspletely different, emitting a holy aura. A dual-headed dual-attributed lizard race magical beast, what kind of species was that?! In particr, after the breakthrough that urred during this evolution, the new appearance of this Earthfire Lizard was not that of a good-for-nothing magical beast anymore. Ye Hua paid special attention to the new bulge that appeared from its new head; could it be that a third head would appear in the next evolution of this Earthfire Lizard? Ye Hua swallowed a gulp of his saliva and asked the elder by his side, Elder, do you recognize this kind of magical beast? The elder bitterlyughed as he shook his head, Not in the least. There is no one who can identify all the kinds of magical beasts, especially those summoned from different dimensions. It looks like this little guy had picked up a treasure! So long as this lizard can evolve once more, Long Hao Chen will possess an outstanding mount. Yi , what is he doing?! While they were speaking, the two-headed lizard who justpleted its evolution lowered its pair of heads. Long Hao Chen watched attentively, also shocked by the evolution. The long tail was swung from behind to the front and the second head bit into it, effusing an insipid purple colored blood. With this evolution, the color of its blood had also unexpectedly changed. The agreement mark appeared once more, but this agreement mark on the back of the lizard did not grow bigger together with the evolution; this time, the lizard was the one who triggered its apparition. The long tail slowly moved forward, purple blood flowing at the edge of its tail, directly aiming for the mark on Long Hao Chens forehead. Long Hao Chens body remained stiff as he felt a warm zing current flowing, pouring into his forehead, and instantly spreading through his entire body. Returning the favor. Hes using his own blood to transmit it to Hao Chen. Ye Hua was amazed at this scene. The higher the level of a magical beast, the more intelligent it was supposed to be. Magical beasts above the sixth step were supposed to have an intelligence superior to that of humans, but this two headed lizard before their eyes seemed excessively intelligent; it had even learned the method Long Hao Chen used to help him to make up for the deficiency of Long Hao Chens blood. Two heads, four eyes, two red and two golden colored, warmly gazed at Long Hao Chen, the body of the two headed lizard lightly shaking. Veins started to appear, going from Long Hao Chens forehead to the rest of his body; he felt as if his whole body was a kind of forge and was unable to say if he felt painful orfortable. He could only vaguely sense his blood vessels filling with a scorching hot feeling, undergoing changes capable of turning heaven and earth upside down. His dull feeling gradually disappeared in this scorching hot feeling. The insipid blood was flowing out from the two headed lizards body, taking the shape of a red halo, slowly converging and then gathering into the agreement mark on its back. Long Hao Chen and the lizard shook simultaneously, and both sides sensing a vague familiar feeling. Their blood contract is even deeper than the rtion between master and servant. The handicapped elder involuntarily shouted out, Starting a blood link to save his master! This two-headed lizard is really repaying Hao Chen for his kindness. Ye Hua also knew about the blood contract, a rare kind of extreme contract: as long as Long Hao Chen was the slightest bit harmed, this two-headed lizard would be harmed too. And if Long Hao Chen was to die, then it would undoubtedly die as well. However, if he was the one to die, that would not affect Long Hao Chen the slightest bit. A blood contract was said to have a lot of other uses: it was even possible for one to transmit his capabilities to his master through it. Though generally, no magical beast was willing to enter this kind of contract; thus, the mysteries of blood contracts were something known by only a few people. The handicapped elder took a deep breath, speaking slowly: Whether this lizard can or cannot evolve once more in the future, he will be far closer to your disciple than any other knightpanion. This is, perhaps, something beneficialing from this setback. The radiance gradually vanished and the purple veined patterns on Long Hao Chens body were slowly disappearing. The two-headed lizard took back its tail, advancing to Long Hao Chens side, using its two heads to gently stroke his leg. I have such a greatpanion! My name is Hao Chen, and I will give you this name, Hao Yue , cry of surprise The Hao bright from Hao Chen, the Yue moon from Bai Yue, and the whole word is the same as the name of the city. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 53 - Entrance Examination and Equipment (I)

Chapter 53: Entrance Examination and Equipment (I)

_Ping, ping, ping_ The door was being knocked. Lil Bro, we have to set off. Are you ready? Li Xin was hitting the door in an udylike fashion as she called out. Im ready, Im ready. Opening the door, Long Hao Chen came out from the room. Li Xins eyes shone, Wah, so handsome. Long Hao Chen wore a white warrior outfit, neat and functional. A silver dragon was embroidered on it, covering the two sides of the cloth including the cor. At the center of the belt, a shining stone was iid and holy energy was spread around it. Long ck hair was scattered on his shoulder, and it was as if a starry sky could be seen through his limpid golden eyes. Red lips, white teeth, skin emitting a luster of gems and as moisturized as jade, a high nose, and a deep gaze: a single w absolutely could not be found on his appearance. Barely six months had passed but, once again, Long Hao Chen had grown a little: he had a tall and thin build without any excessive fat built up. It was a well shaped and perfectly proportioned body. Ordinarily, Long Hao Chens appearance with regr clothes was already stunning; but now that he changed his clothes into this gorgeous warrior outfit, he could simply make any girl jealous of him. Long Hao Chen felt somewhat awkward wearing these clothes, Sis, theres no need to be dressed so formally. Im really not used to it. These clothes were specially made by Li Xin for him, so Long Hao Chens clothes were quite different from the standard clothes of Hao Yue Halls knights. How can you remain ufortable with it? Lil Bro, the color white is the one that suits you the best, you are a hundred percent handsome like that! Ai, why werent you born a few years earlier? A shame, a shame. We spent a long time together, and this old sis range grew bigger. In the future, if I cannot find a man, then Ill just seize you. Li Xin sized Long Hao Chen up with her gaze, as she clenched her fist menacingly at him. At this very moment, two heads came out from Long Hao Chens back, gently stroking his leg, producing a _Wu Wu_ sound with their mouths. Long Hao Chen bent down, patting the two heads of lizard, You cannote tonight, stay home to look after the house. Be obedient, Ill bring dried fish for you to eatter. This two-headed grotesque lizard was clearly the magical beastpanion Long Hao Chen had brought home from the Knights Sacred Mountain, that was given the name Hao Yue. Hao Yue became a new species recorded by the Knights Sacred Mountain, and half a year had already passed since the time Long Hao Chen had brought him home. Ordinary magical beast mounts lived in a specific ce of their own. Only when the knight needed them would they be summoned from their side through the contract. However, this little Hao Yue was different, he shamelessly wanted to stay by Long Hao Chens side no matter what, and whatever he was told, he would remain unwilling to go back to his original ce. Due to the blend among their blood vessels, because of the fact that he did not discard him at that time, because of the feeling of not being abandoned, the degree of familiarity between the both of them had far surpassed the rtion between the others knights and theirpanions. The first good deed brought by the blood contract was that from the time he came back, Long Hao Chen could already feel that their hearts were interlinked. With an ordinary contract of equals, only the magical beast could sense the feelings and intents of the knight. However, the blood contract brought to each one the awareness of the other. Hao Yue could not speak, but Long Hao Chen could always feel each change in his mood. Even if they were far apart, it would be the same. Hearing the two words dried fish, Hao Yues two heads opened their eyes wide, giving each other an extremely human-like look, raising their noses, and repeatedly nodding while advancing towards Long Hao Chen. It looked like even his saliva was flowing out. Long Hao Chen held both heads in his embrace, telling them: Then Im leaving first, I will returnter. As a member of Hao Yue Hall, Long Hao Chen received a monthly ie of five gold coins, but he had basically no money left because all the money he received was used to buy food for Hao Yue. This little guy was extremely voracious and especially liked to eat fish, his favorite meal being five spice seasoned dried fish, to the extent that Long Hao Chen became the kind of person who spend their monthly ie even before they earn their next sry. Along with the increase of the duration of contact, Long Hao Chen discovered, to his astonishment, that each one of Hao Yues head could actually think on its own. When he just came back from the Knights Sacred Mountain, he did not feel it in the slightest bit; but half a yearter, he had figured that the nature of the red eyed head was a little more violent, whereas the golden eyed head was a lot gentler. Obtaining Long Hao Chens promise, Hao Yue went back to the room in high spirits, swinging hisrge tail to effortlessly close the door. Li Xin said, somewhat envious, Hao Chen, this Hao Yue is extremely intelligent even if he seems like a kid, sticking close to you all day. Long Hao Chen chuckled in great delight: Thats right! Hes just like my little brother; no, I should say my two little brothers, theres really nothing that can be done about them. Sis, lets go. The two people left Hao Yue Hall and, while walking on the street, Long Hao Chen asked: Sis, what is happening today? Why does Uncle want to treat us to a meal? Previously, when Li Xin gave Long Hao Chen the clothes, she only told him that, today, her father wanted to treat him to a meal and had some things to tell him. After they spent so much time together, Long Hao Chen already knew that Li Xins father was, in fact, Li Ao Xiao, the chief minister of Hao Yue City, and Lin Jia Lus father, Lin Yin Jia, was the conste of Hao Yue City. All the cities inside of the Temple Alliance had a conste in charge of government affairs as well as a chief minister in charge of military affairs, twoplementary roles. Li Xin smiled, It is not only my father who is going to treat us to a meal today. There will also be Uncle Lin, Uncle Nn, as well as the Hall Master of the branch hall of Hao Yue Mage Temple, Uncle Bai Yu, and finally the Hall Master of the branch hall of Hao Yue Warrior Temple, Uncle Chun Hua. Long Hao Chen was bbergasted: these five people were all extremely important figures of Hao Yue City, filling the most important positions of the city. Hao Yue City was a mid-sized city and, in it, only three of the six great temples had a branch hall established. With the addition of the conste and the chief minister of military affairs, they handled almost all of the decisions rted to the city. These five big figures actually wanted to treat them to a meal; how could Long Hao Chen not be shocked? Sis, for what reason are we invited? asked Long Hao Chen, puzzled. Li Xin answered: We are obviously convened for the eve of the Demon Hunt Selection Competition. We are allpetitors and they gathered us to bother us with their lectures. While they were talking, they had already arrived at Hao Yue Citys office hall, and Li Xin led Long Hao Chen directly to the third floor. Specialized staff members weed them and guided them inside to a reception hall When Long Hao Chen and Li Xin arrived, it was already night; dishes were arranged on a round table with only two seats left, obviously prepared for the both of them. Long Hao Chen swept before him with his eyes, discovering that, among everyone present, there was none he recognized apart from Nn Shu and this Lin Jia Lu he had formerly dueled. Li Xin naturally saw her as well. Their eyes met each other and, simultaneously, they turned their head around with an excessive motion, each of them both ignoring the other one. However, when Lin Jia Lus look swept past Long Hao Chens figure, she could not help but stare at him nkly. On the seat of honor was seated a dignified middle-aged man who gave a stern look, Li Xin, you are not allowed to act rudely. Clearly, he was Li Xins father and Hao Yue Citys military affairs head minister, Li Ao Xiao. Li Xin stuck out her tongue before giving her greetings to the others who were already seated, Greetings Uncle Lin, Uncle Nn, Uncle Bai, Uncle Chen. The middle-aged men nodded in session and Long Hao Chen called right after Li Xin to these few important figures of Hao Yue City, giving them his greetings. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 54 - Entrance Examination and Equipment (II)

Chapter 54: Entrance Examination and Equipment (II)

Apart from these several people and Lin Jia Lu, there were also two sturdy youths present. They took the initiative to give their regards to Li Xin, which led Long Hao Chen to return the courtesy. Between these two youths, one was a little taller and was called Chen Si; the second one, a little shorter, was called Chen Chen. They were a pair of brothers, both from the Warrior Temple. Li Ao Xiao looked at Long Hao Chen and was very pleased, I have heard Li Xin mention you before; as expected of a genius, you are so young and yet you look brave and talented! In reality, after Long Hao Chen and Li Xin arrived, all the gazes seemed to be focused on him. Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu were beauties, but Long Hao Chens appearance was so dazzling that it seemed to conceal them. Uncle Li is just ttering me. Long Hao Chen half rose out of his chair, politely replying. Elder Brother Li, we should start the banquet first. Let these children get something to eat before getting to business. said Lin Yin Jia. Li Ao Xiao said, Right, we should proceed like that. No need to be polite everyone, eat without restraint. Excluding Long Hao Chen, everyone else knew roughly what would be discussed today; even though the mood was far from being enthusiastic, it was stillfortable. In particr, the two brothers Chen Si and Chen Chen were devouring the food ravenously. Their portion was even more astonishing than Li Xins. Of course, Long Hao Chen would never mention that to Li Xin After simply eating and not drinking alcohol, everyone was quickly almost full. Almost the entirety of the food had entered the bellies of these few youngsters. Li Ao Xiao spoke: The Demon Hunt Selection Competition is about to start, and you five are the elites of our Hao Yue City that have been selected to take part in thepetition. This food has been prepared to nourish you and, at the same time, for us to warn you. Now that the time hade, Long Hao Chen put down his hand and attentively listened. Lin Yin Jia continued: The Demon Hunt Selection Competition is very important to our Temple Alliance; this tradition has existed for a very long time. It can be said that during these thousands years, our Temple Alliance not being annihted by the demon race, is due to the benefits of Demon Group Hunts. We will proceed this way: let the three of our branch halls introduce us the circumstances of these children you selected. Elder brother Chen, please. The Hall Master of the Warrior Temple was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man. Hearing Lin Yin Jias words, he nodded, Chen Si and Chen Chen, you two have been the elite of our Warrior Temple for these few years. Chen Si will be 24 years old this year, right under the age limit of 25 years old for the Demon Hunt Selection Competition. Hes a second rank War Grandmaster, an orthodox shield warrior with a very good defense. The Soldier Temples ranking system was simr to the Knight Temples, the step of War Grandmaster was the fourth step of the vocation of warrior, equivalent to the step of Grand Knight. Chen Si and Chen Chen were two brothers who seemed quite straightforward; hearing the word of Chen Chun Hua, they immediately stood up. Chen Chun Hua was clearly fond of these two disciples, and said very proudly: Chen Chen is two years younger, Chen Sis little brother, a berserker adept in offense. Li Ao Xiao and Lin Yin Jia looked quite pleasantly surprised. Only youths below 25 years old were allowed to participate in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition, and they had to have reached the third step of their vocation to be admitted. These two youths from the Warrior Temple had both reached the fourth step, it was indeed impressive from them. To any city, having one of their youths be selected to join the Demon Hunt was a high honor. If he could get a good rank during the selectionpetition, the conste, the military head minister, as well as the branch hall masters would be awarded. Li Ao Xiao looked extremely pleased: Very good, very good, young and promising. I really wish for you to enter thest stage of thepetition. The hall master of the Mage Temple, Bai Yu, showed a smiling face: Fourth step in their vocations, there shouldnt be any problems with them; with the protection of these two children, they shouldnt have any problems getting the right to enter the qualifiers. Everyone here should be familiar with Jia Lu, shes the absolute genius of our Mage Temple. 21 years old, a mage specialized in ice binding, and already a fourth step Grand Mage. Although Lin Yin Jia had been trying his best to control his emotions, he could not conceal the pride in his look upon hearing Bai Yus presentation. At his turn, Li Ao Xiao said, This child, Jia Lu has really a great potential, shell absolutely be the future hope of our Hao Yue City. Hearing her father praising Lin Jia Lu, Li Xin was immediately dissatisfied and could not help but retort: Father, please dont make another ones spirit seem bigger than it is while lowering your own prestige. In any case, your daughter is already a third step Grand Knight despite being three months younger than her. Li Ao Xiao red at her, Only babbling. Li Yin Jiaughed: You two girls! Even after such a long time, you could not forget your disagreements in the slightest bit? You have to keep in mind that, this time, in participating in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition, you will have to join forces if you want to obtain the qualifications topete. Its really dangerous, so when the momentes, you cannot let your disagreements hinder you. Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu exchanged a nce before suddenly turning their head away with an excessive motion. Nn Shu chuckled, Xiner has already said everything about her own cultivation, she specializes as a Retribution Knight. As for Hao Chen, I have to keep his cultivation level a secret, but I can tell you his age. Hao Chen will be, this year, 14 years old, specialized as a Guardian Knight. 14 years old? Except from Li Ao Xiao who knew some facts in advance, everyone else could not help but gasp. Lin Yin Jias brows were puckering up as he said in a low voice: Nn Hall Master, are you joking? How can we let a 14 years old child participate in the Selection? Dont tell me that you dont know that they have to kill at least five demon race soldiers per person to have the qualifications to participate. Nn Shu answered, calm and unhurried: The teacher of this child is Ye Hua, the zombie face known as Asura Ye in our branch hall. Everyone knows his character, and he said that his treasured disciple was qualified to participate to the Demon Hunt Selection Competition; there is no way he was telling lies. Also, our Knight Temple could not possibly risk the life of such a young genius simply to y a joke. Lin Yin Jias brows were wrinkling as before,while looking at Li Ao Xiao, Chen Chun Hua, and Nn Shu without saying anything. Bai Yu calmly looked at Nn Shu, Fatty Nn, you have to know that this doesnt only rte to his life. If anything holds the team back, it can go as far as to lead to them being wiped out. Nn Shu snorted loudly, before speaking back: Dont worry, dont worry. Even though I dont know at what level Hao Chens cultivation have reached, I can tell you all that he will certainly enter the finals of this Demon Hunt Selection Competition, shining upon the splendor of the Five Great Temples. Nn Shu bluntly said these words without any hesitation, his face showing enormous confidence. Long Hao Chen sat there without a single word. Ye Hua had warned him repeatedly that he could not easily divulge his cultivation level at the present time, that he had at least to wait for the formal participation to the Demon Hunt Selection Competition to reveal it, so he could currently only shut his mouth. At this moment, Lin Jia Lu unexpectedly spoke: Father, Uncles, I believe Uncle Nns words. This is because I have formerlypeted against little brother Long. He is very strong. Hearing Lin Jia Lu speak in support of Long Hao Chen, Li Xin instantly became on the alert, shifting the chair she was seated in to advance towards Long Hao Chen. Li Ao Xiao nodded, I have also heard Xiner speak about Hao Chens strength, and I believe that he really has the ability to participate in thispetition. The examination to see if they have the qualifications required to participate in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition is really harsh. If one wants to participate to it, this one has to obtain the right to enter thepetition first. A moment ago, elder brother Lin said so. We five have to do our best, join forces, and be qualified to leave for the Temple Alliance to participate in thepetition. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 55 - Entrance Examination and Equipment (III)

Chapter 55: Entrance Examination and Equipment (III)

To make sure that you have the qualifications topete, the Alliance will be taking responsibility for supervising our grouping from Hao Yue branch hall. During this process, no matter what kind of danger you will encounter, the supervisor will not intervene directly: he will only let things run their course, even if you are about to be wiped out. That is unless you take the initiative to ask for his help. However, in that case, youll lose your qualifications to participate this time. Our Hao Yue City is located in the southeast of the Alliance, only roughly 200 kilometers (400 Li) far from the territory of the demon race. A route has already been nned for you to infiltrate it. You have to bear in mind that, sometimes, one has to retreat instead of persevering. If you encounter a crisis you really cannot contend against, in that case, it is preferable to lose your qualifications to enter thepetition by asking for the help of the supervisor. Your lives are the highest priority. We have already handed the map to the senior supervisor, so you will set off tomorrow. You are the representatives of our Hao Yue Hall, as well as Hao Yue City. Here, we will congratte you beforehand and hope you will be able to get great result during this greatpetition. As they were speaking, Li Ao Xiao, Lin Yin Jia, and the three Hall Masters stood up, lifting up the teacups in their hands. The group of five including Long Hao Chen saluted the five leaders and everyone drank their cups of tea together. Lin Yin Jia said in a low voice: Ever since six thousand year ago, when the demon race appeared and we entered the dark age, we, humanity, kept struggling to prevent ourselves from being driven to extinction. We needed more than 2,000 years for our territory to achieve its current stability. The demon race is our arch-enemy: each enemy killed is a contribution to the safety of humanity. Although our Hao Yue City isnt really a big city, participating in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition is a major event that urs only once every five years. This is your chance to easily obtain great achievements at the earliest possible time. And we prepared a few gifts to help you to get great result. As long as you can pass the qualification test and enter thepetition, this present will not be wasted on you. Come with me. Hao Yue Citys office hall contained a total of four floors. Led by Lin Yin Jia and Li Ao Xiao, the group arrived in a room at the top floor guarded by ten warriors. There was not a single furniture inside of this room, only a few wide wooden tables with numerous equipment arranged on them. Looking at the equipment, the breathing of the two brothers, Chen Si and Chen Chen, became hurried. Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu were quite normal: their families were rich, so they were not short on equipment at all. Long Hao Chen appeared pleasantly surprised, but he stayed calm. Previously, Long Xing Yu told Long Hao Chen that, to any powerhouse of the Six Great Temples, equipment was only a part of their strength. Regardless of the equipment, only through relying on ones own efforts to acquire it could one really treasure it. The Radiant Shield could be considered as the first equipment that was really treasured by Long Hao Chen, but it was clearly the first time such a set of equipment was gathered before his eyes. On the table was a lot of equipment: there was not only a set per person, but a great deal of choice. Lin Yin Jia said with a smile: This equipment is not high ranked, but it is still a lot better than those the public can get on the market. Considering your current level of cultivation, the overwhelming majority of equipment we selected for you is amplification equipment, so that your fighting capability can be increased. Pick the ones you want by yourselves. However, you may only take a single piece of equipment for each body part. Lin Jia Lu shook her head, saying: I have my own equipment, no need for me to choose. As the daughter of the conste, in addition to the fact that her family owned a magical equipment shop, she naturally did not need more equipment. Li Xin shook her head as well, at the same time as Lin Jia Lu, stating that she did not need it. Lin Yin Jia and Li Ao Xiao had guessed long ago that this would happen; this equipment was originally bought for the sake of the preparations of Long Hao Chen and the two Chen brothers. The Chen brothers were quite impatient, and with the signs of Chen Chunhua, the Hall Master of the Warrior Temple, they both hurried to step forward and choose. Li Xin bumped Long Hao Chen, hinting that he should make haste to go choose to prevent the others from choosing all the good equipment. To judge the quality of an equipment, there are three major aspects to look at. First, the quality of the material: the better the material, the stronger the equipment created with it will be. The second aspect is the quality of the fabrication, as cksmiths of different skills craft items of, more or less, different quality. The third aspect is, of course, the magic aspect. The value of a piece of magical equipment is at least five times that of an ordinary one. If the infused supplementary magic is powerful enough, the difference may be even more considerable. Equipment was divided into different tiers from bottom to top: ordinary equipment, alloy equipment, magical equipment, spiritual equipment, glorious equipment, legendary equipment, epic equipment, immortal equipment, and mystical tier equipment. For these few youth to participate in this Demon Hunt, Hao Yue City took out this very carefully selected equipment. They were all magical equipment and, although they had the mostmon magical amplification properties, any one of them would amount to a hundred of gold coins on the market. A tier above magical equipment, there was the spiritual equipment that that contained at least a single skill. This tier of equipment amounted to at least 1,000 gold coins. As a defensive warrior, Chen Si picked, without the slightest hesitation, a heavy armor that covered his whole body together with a thick tower shield. On the armor and the shield were magical patterns that strengthened it, making them, presently, the equipment with the greatest defensive power. The weapon was, however, a lot simpler: it was a long de with an effect that increases speed. Chen Chens choice ced emphasis on a different aspect of the warriors talents, he chose a fire attribute light armor together with a pair of fire attribute long des. With them, if his spiritual energy was stimted, his body could emit a zing aura, enabling him to use fire attribute attacks with a power further amplified because of his offensive specialization of berserker. Long Hao Chen also chose a light armor made of fine iron and heavy iron alloy, resulting in an extremely thin te that mainly covered his upper body, elbows, and knees joints. It was a silver-colored armor that did not look overly shy, but emitted a holy aura around it. The light attribute magic equipment was harder to findpared to the magical equipment of other attributes; thus, he did not have a helmet. While he was d lightly and conveniently, he still had a certain defensive power.. Soon after, he chose two heavy swords. Between them, one was a light attribute heavy sword while the second one he chose had a fire attribute. The appearance of these two swords was not different from the standard appearance of the heavy swords used by knights: on the des were carved distinct magical patterns, and a core crystal of a fourth step magical beast was iid in the center of the des. These heavy swords weighed between 20 kilograms and 25 kilograms. To Long Hao Chen, who had a 200th level external spiritual energy, this weight was negligible. Lin Yin Jia showed a curious reaction, Long Hao Chen, arent you a Guardian Knight? Why did you choose to take two heavy swords? Long Hao Chen answered, a bit embarrassed: I already have a shield, so I wanted to take one more sword. Is it okay? Li Yin Jia humbly smiled, Of course it is okay. Li Ao Xiao spoke: After going back, you will have to familiarize yourself with your new equipment. You will set off tomorrow in the early morning. If you want to aplish your task and be qualified to enter thepetition, you will have to directly leave for the Alliance. Our Hao Yue City will also have a specialist who will arrive at the Alliance in advance to arrange all matters regarding your participation in thepetition. Yes. After returning to the residence, Li Xin repeatedly warned Long Hao Chen to rest well after returning. Long Hao Chen bought 2.5 kilograms (5 jin) of dried fish on the road for his goodpanion, the two headed lizard Hao Yue, before impatiently trying on the new equipment he had just obtained. , ce where the conste wields his power, Im assuming, because office hall is ִ, and conste is ִ *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 56 - Entrance Examination and Equipment (IV)

Chapter 56: Entrance Examination and Equipment (IV)

As soon as he put on the light armor, he immediately noticed that the quantity of light element around his body had increased, naturally rotating around his internal spiritual energy. Ayer of gold-colored brilliance rippled around his light armor, and although it wasnt a part of the spiritual energy Long Hao Chen could use tounch his skills, it strengthened his attack as well as his defense. The crucial point was that this armor was very light and convenient, not obstructing Long Hao Chens movements in the slightest. He liked therge sword even more; as he infused it with his spiritual energy, the tworge swords shone brightly. The Light Sword seemed to be verypatible with his natural attribute, forming a bright edge a third of a meter long. The amplification effect of the Fire Sword was only a little lower: fire did not reject light. Pouring in it his holy elemental internal spiritual energy still resulted in at least 80% of the attack power of the other sword. Long Hao Chen calmly analyzed: the equipment on his body raised his fighting strength a level higher. Moreover, by relying on his ring, Forget-Me-Not, he could switch between a left handed sword and a shield at anytime, which was the equivalent of being able to switch between being a Guardian Knight and a Retribution Knight depending on the situation. Hao Chen. An ice-cold voice could be heard outside the door. Teacher. Long Hao Chen moved in haste to open the door, weing Ye Hua to enter. On the side, Hao Yue was biting the dried fish. Upon seeing Ye Hua enter, he showed some ill feelings _woo woo_ ; he seemed to still hold a grudge against him for the past events. While Long Hao Chen brought his teacher inside, Ye Hua looked at the light armor on his body: Hao Yue City is quite big, but they dont even have a single spiritual tier piece of equipment? What a difference in treatment. Long Hao Chen smiled: The fact I have a set of magical equipment is already plenty. Teacher, didnt you say that a genuine powerhouse shouldnt rely on equipment excessively? Ye Hua snorted, That was at the time I was teaching you. The current circumstances are different: the Demon Hunt Selection Competition is not a simplepetition, but it can be said to be a real war, with deaths. Long Hao Chen said: Teacher, do you have so little confidence in me? Ye Hua answered: To have confidence in you is one thing, but to prepare for a rainy day is another. You will set off tomorrow, while we will also be leaving for the Temple Alliance, waiting for you to participate to thepetition. This is for you. As he spoke, Ye Hua took out a grey-colored metallic wristguard. Looking at its outwards appearance, this wristguard seemed pretty ordinary, but as soon as Ye Hua took it off, the wristguard seemed to emit a thin gold color from inside, forming a golden gem at least the size of a hundred grains of rice . Long Hao Chen was not adept at equipment creation at all, but having no idea what the value of this gem was did not influence the value this piece of equipment was to him. In fact, the light attribute emitted by this wristguard was higher than his former equipment. Your teacher is poor, so he doesnt have anything good to offer you. Once spiritual energy is poured into this Divine Light Wristguard, it will create a [Holy Light Mantle], up to three times a day,sting a minute every time. [Holy Light Mantle] was a defensive skill that Grand Knight level Guardian Knights were capable of using. The defensive power was not as great as [Divine Light Mantle]s, but [Holy Light Mantle]s greatest benefit was the possibility to control the range of the mantle; the bigger the chosen range, the more its defensive power is reduced. More importantly, [Holy Light Mantle] had a supplementary healing effect inside of its range, which made it one of the most useful skills to Guardian Knights. The only defect would be that it consumed an enormous amount of spiritual energy;unching this ability consumed 50 units of internal spiritual energy, and each second sustained would add 5 units to this count. It could be seen as Ye Hua conveniently throwing a very precious piece of equipment towards Long Hao Chen. Every activation was the equivalent of saving 350 units of spiritual energy! In addition, it could be used up to three times every day; having an absolute guarantee to be able to save lives in whichever circumstances was always a good thing. Even among spiritual tier equipment, this one was umonly valuable. Teacher, this is too precious. I cannot ept it. Ye Huas face sank, Not good enough for you? If you dont want it, just throw it away. Im heading back. As he spoke, he stood up and began leaving. Long Hao Chen said with a helpless face: Teacher, that is not what I meant. These Divine Light Wristguards are just too precious for me, I Arriving at the door, Ye Hua stopped and immediately interrupted him, I have no rtive, only a disciple. Having spoken these words, he waved his hands to Long Hao Chen, hinting that Long Hao Chen did not have to send him off, and left by himself. Looking at the wristguards in his hands, Long Hao Chen felt warmth in his heart, Teacher, I will not disappoint you. Bright morning, Hao Yue City east gate. This ce was where they gatheredst night. Li Xin rode her Rose Unicorn, which had grown to the peak fifth step within these two years, heading along with Long Hao Chen to the east entrance. After these two years, Long Hao Chen was not a child anymore, so he naturally felt too embarrassed to ride a mount together with Li Xin. Also, Nn Shu gave him a fine horse, so he rode it while advancing by Li Xins side. Hao Chen, what about Hao Yue, that guy? Where has he run off to? Li Xin looked all around, but could not find the pair of heads that were usually sticking together with Long Hao Chen all day. Long Hao Chen smiled: Sis, hes around. He will naturally appear once well be leaving the city. Li Xin curiously spoke back: I really think that Hao Yue is a lot more intelligent than my Rose Unicorn, even though hes only at the middle rank of the fourth step. Quickly, sister and brother arrived at the east gate and, at that moment, they saw the pair of excited brothers from the Chen family waiting impatiently, while Lin Jia Lu had yet to arrive. Little brother Long, youngdy Xiner. Chen Si took the initiative to greet them. Both of them held Li Xin in high regard. As for Long Hao Chen, they considered him as a subordinate of Li Xin at most, after Nn Shu revealed the day before that Long Hao Chen was only 14 this year. What could the ability of a 14 year-old child be? Li Xin was, however, different. Not only was she superior to them in terms of talent, but in addition, she possessed a formidable magical beast such as the Rose Unicorn. This mount was, by itself, superior to these two brothers in terms of strength. The status of knights was also superior to that of a warrior, so they naturally wished to stay on good terms with Li Xin. To be selected to participate in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition already required outstanding innate talents, but before confronting the test, they needed the cooperation of everyone here. Li Xin nodded at them, Lin Jia Lin hasnt arrived yet? Chen Si smiled, It isnt the time yet. Lets wait a moment. Li Xin calmly nodded. Chen Si and Chen Chen were both riding fine horses. While they were speaking, a cart slowly approached, stopping beside them. When the cart arrived, Lin Jia Lu jumped down from it, and stood respectfully there. Immediately afterwards, an elder came out from the cart. This elder looked 60 to 70 years old, his grizzled hair were meticulouslybed, and he let out a slight fragrance of pomade. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes looked a bit gloomy and cold, and his lips were fine and thin. His character was arrogant and noble at the same time, giving people a bad first impression. He wore a thin blue-colored magical gown, with a material made of golden threads sketching outside, emitting a metallic luster; it seemed that the wind element was gathered around it, revolving around his body. He held in his hand, a dark green-colored magical staff with a pale gem the size of an egg above it. Lin Jia Lu respectfully told him: Senior supervisor, please. The elder nodded. Looking at her, his arrogant expression became a bit softer, Go. Lin Jia Lu apanied him towards Long Hao Chens group. Everyone hurried to dismount from their horse; without a doubt, this elder was a supervisor from the Temple Alliance, a mage. Although his body did not give off the air of a mage, Lin Jia Lu obviously could not bepared to him at all. The elder went in front of their group and simply said, in an indifferent voice: Set off. , Credits to: -Zeke for having the idea of counting the rice -Paul for having the idea of releasing the counting-rice-image -Toto for counting the rice *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 57 - The Dragon Rises And Sets Sail (I)

Chapter 57: The Dragon Rises And Sets Sail (I)

Set off. Themand of the elder who was acting as their supervisor was passed down. At this moment, he waved the magical staff in his hand, covering his whole body in a blue light, and left the ground just like that, floating a meter above the ground while advancing forward. You can act as if I didnt exist, and I will not help you the slightest bit as well, unless you n to withdraw from this Demon Hunt Selection. The elders voice fluttered in front of them. The blue light suddenly became more intense and, to their surprise, in a split second, this supervisor and senior disappeared without notice. Upon seeing that this supervisor had suddenly disappeared, everyone else was surprised; only Long Hao Chens eyes slightly moved, subconsciously shooting a nce at the rear. This is the map. Lin Jia Lu took out a map made of sheepskin from her bosom, unfolding it in front of everyone. We will have to head straight to the east before infiltrating the territory controlled by the demon race. This is for you. As she spoke, she took out five round tiles from her bosom and, after keeping one for herself, she gave the rest to the four others. Long Hao Chen took the tile and gave it a look. It looked very delicate, was entirely made of silver and had a purple gem iid in it. It emitted insipid magic undtions. This is the license te for our participation in the Demon Hunt Selection Competition. On its reverse side is our identity, origins, as well aspetitor number. If we cannot pass the entrance test, the tiles will be retrieved back by the elder. Because of this tile, we will not be bothered by the garrisons of the Alliance, but we will not be able to get their help either. Entering the territory of the demon race, we will only be able to rely on ourselves. The best would be for us to meet patrol soldiers belonging to the demon race. As long as we can kill a total of 25 demons, we will have aplished our task and will be able to retreat. At this point, Lin Jia Lu came to a halt, meticulously sweeping her eyes over Li Xin before continuing: In regard to our cultivation level,pleting this task should be no problem at all. But since we are acting in a group, we will have to disy some cooperation. The snake cannot have a missing head. So, before attacking, the best thing to do would be to pick out a leader to stay synchronized when we run into battle. Li Xin coldly snorted, Are you saying that you are intending to be our leader? Lin Jia Lu shot her a nce. Withoutpromising the slightest bit, Why would it be impossible? I am the one with the highest cultivation level here and, in addition, as a mage who fights at the rear, I have the best position to observe the battlefield, so I am the most suitable tomand the team. Li Xin wrinkled her brows, pondering a little before unexpectedly nodding, telling her: Okay, we will follow your directions. Lin Jia Lu stared at her nkly. She did not expect to hear those words from Li Xin. She could not help but give her a doubtful look. Li Xin snorted once more, What are you looking at? This youngdy is dissociating the public from the private; for the sake of keeping my little brother safe, I will not fight with you this time. However, if, on the battlefield, your directions appear to be mistakes, this youngdy will not show any restraint in depriving you of your authority. Lin Jia Lu directly chose to ignore Li Xins threats and looked at the Chen brothers, Do you have any objections? Chen Si and Chen Chen shook their head at the same time. These two brothers were straightforward; they recognized themselves as being inferior to these twodies, so they naturally did not have any objections. Okay, with it being this way, let us set off. Lin Jia Lu issued her firstmand as the leader. Long Hao Chen stood at the side of Li Xin, a bit depressed and thinking to himself, _Why is it that they didnt even ask for my opinion?!_ At this moment, Lin Jia Lu faced him and approached, Little brother Long, I am wearing a robe so I am unable to ride a horse. Please look after me, I will sit behind you. Ah? Long Hao Chen looked dumbstruck at the gentle, sweet, and smiling appearance of Lin Jia Lu before noticing that Li Xin, at the side, had be as cold as ice and frost and could not decide how he should reply. Lin Jia Lu was still smiling and didnt took a single nce at Li Xin, asking once more: You are a Guardian Knight! Dont tell me you wouldnt ensure the safety of a mage? As she spoke, she directly extended her hand toward Long Hao Chen, hinting him to get her on his horse. I will ride together with you. Stretching her hand and pulling Lin Jia Lu directly from the back of her horse; the one who did that was precisely Li Xin! Lin Jia Lu was surprised and reacted angrily, Who wants to ride together with you?! You are a Retribution Knight, can you really protect me that well?! Li Xin replied very fiercely: You can choose either Chen Si or his little brother Chen Chen if thats the case. Dont try to use my little brother to your convenience. Youre dreaming, Ill never give you that opportunity. As she spoke, Li Xin knocked the belly of her horse and the Rose Unicorn flew upwards, letting Lin Jia Lu resentfully cry out in anger, just like a sort of red-colored arrowunched forward. Long Hao Chen and the two Chen brothers gave a nce at each other, their faces disying a helpless feeling, before hurrying to whip their horses, chasing after them. A pitch ck silhouette tightly followed after them, sticking to the ground with its two heads following around, showing a very excited expression on its faces. A distance of about 200 kilometers, to the Rose Unicorn, was at most two hours of travel, but Long Hao Chens group could not keep up, with their ordinary horses. After traveling from early morning tote night, they finally arrived at the vicinity of the frontier. Relying on their Demon Hunt Selection tiles, the five people smoothly passed through the area defended by the Temple Alliance forces, leaving their horses there, and after eating simple meals, they were finally going to enter the territory of the demon race. To decrease the probability of being discovered, Li Xin had her Rose Unicorn scout in the sky. Taking advantage of the dim light of night, they passed through a hill. They could already saw from afar territory of the demon race. Lets stop here. Lin Jia Lu called out to everyone toe to a halt and took out her map. Even though she could be considered as having tacitly agreed in riding together with Li Xin, her current face looked unpleased, as before. Everyone squated down, encircling Lin Jia Lu as she unfolded her map. Pointing at it, she said: We are currently at this location. The main troops of the demon race are stationed roughly 100 kilometers in front of us. Directly raiding their army camps isnt realistic, and there will be noing back if we choose to do so. Thus, we willplete our task by wiping out scouts from the demon race during the uing few days. From now on, everyone will have to keep a good formation. Li Xin, you are in the front. Chen Si and Chen Chen, you are on both sides. Little brother Long, you are in the rear, and I will be in the middle of the formation. In the case we meet the enemy, you will have to listen to my orders, understood? Even though herplexion was not good, Lin Jia Lu kept a calm face, her elegant face looking quite dignified. Including Li Xin, everyone nodded in session. After Lin Jia Lu put her map away, everyone stood once more. They could not help but look in the direction of the demon races territory. Nervousness, excitement, anxiety; this was their current state of mind, but all of them stood on the alert. On the verge of facing the biggest enemy of mankind, they were filled with heroic emotions that excited, more or less, all of them. Hao Yue, pleasee out. Long Hao Chen shouted loudly. A shadow shed and the two-headed lizard, Hao Yue, came quietly in front of Long Hao Chen, his appearance immediately frightening the hell out of the little group of youths. Everyone, dont be nervous, this is mypanion. Look Hao Chen quickly exined in a low voice. Everyone could not help but observe Hao Yues appearance carefully. The most astonished among them was, without a doubt, Lin Jia Lu. As a mage, her mental capacity was, naturally, much superior to those of close quarters vocations. Her perception was even more formidable, but shepletely failed to notice Hao Yues existence. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 58 - The Dragon Rises and Sets Sail (II)

Chapter 58: The Dragon Rises and Sets Sail (II)

Is this yourpanion mount? Lin Jia Lu asked, full of doubt. Long Hao Chen nodded. Lin Jia Lus eyes were filled with a bit of pity, Well, his figure cannot be clearly seen at all. Lets set off for now. Long Hao Chen took out the Radiant Shield as well as the Light Sword, silently walking at the rear. The five people formed a rhombus battle formation, crossing the hills before finally entering into the territory of the demon race. There was a wide in ahead, but their sight did not even reach its boundaries. When wind blew, a faint scent of blood could be smelled in the air. From the time that the demon race appeared and humanitys history entered the dark age, 6,000 years had already passed. Lin Jia Lu held the magical staff that she did not use in the duel against Long Hao Chen, lifting it slightly while chanting a magical incantation. A bird shaped transparent light soared in the sky, flying forward at a high altitude. A faint radiance could be subsequently seen in Lin Jia Lus pair of eyes. [Eagle Eye Method], this magic spell was a required skill for any mage, enabling one to look down from the sky and observe far distances. The higher ones cultivation level, the further the range of the spell increased. Li Xin slightly frowned and said: The terrain is too open. It is unfavorable for us to set up an ambush here. Look for a ce where we can hide. Li Jia Lu slightly nodded and said: 2.5 kilometers ahead, there are hills at the left. The hills are ahead, shrubs are densely clustered there, we should go in this direction first, slowly advancing. There are no enemies in a 5 kilometers radius around us, lets go. Li Xin lowered her head. Everyone advanced forward at a slow pace under Lin Jia Lus instructions. Long Hao Chen discovered to his astonishment that these two prettydies that used to quarrel every day back in Hao Yue City did not show the slightest sign of dispute this time. The party of five was precisely led by the both of them with Li Xin at the front and Lin Jia Lu in the middle of the formation, scouting. The Chen brothers and Long Hao Chen were quite rxed, they just had to follow after them. Under themand of Lin Jia Lu and her [Eagle Eye Method], everyone was quite cautious. For a duration of one hour, they made use of the few bunkers on the field that were found approximately every 5 kilometers (10 li) and advanced. Every time they found a ce where they could be concealed, Lin Jia Lu would leave a mark on the ground before continuing to head forward. They entered the route through of the demon race territory that the leaders of Hao Yue City selected very carefully for them. From the demon race territory, the nearest garrison was only 100 kilometers (200 li) away. Although the terrain was not the most favorable, the garrison was quite close, making it very convenient for retreating while maintaining their guard when it is needed. Night fell little by little, and after continuing to advance for 40 more kilometers (80 Li), Lin Jia Lu found some shrubbery and gave the order to rest here. We cannot continue to approach them for now: if we keep going forward, we will enter the range at which the demon mages can detect us. said Lin Jia Lu in a low voice. Li Xin nodded, speaking at her turn: I also heard from Father that the demon barracks contained some powerful mages that have a range longer than 50 kilometers using the [Eagle Eye Method]. If we keep advancing, we will likely be detected, so we should wait here for our opportunity instead. They started eating to replenish their physical strength, and calmly waited at this ce. All along, Lin Jia Lu unceasingly used her [Eagle Eye Method] to detect any movement in the surroundings. A full night passed very calmly. The sky was gradually lighting up. They had already waited for a night, but they did not even spot half of a demon patrol, so the five youth could not help but feel disappointed. It was especially the case for Lin Jia Lu, who was already quite tired because she kept using her [Eagle Eye Method]. Strange, where have the demon patrols gone? Chen Si asked in an uprehending tone. The five youths looked at each other in dismay, their faces showing helplessness. They were the best of the young generation of Hao Yue City, but they had never participated in a war before; this task that seemed to be quite easy had be a little more troublesome. To gain the qualifications to enter, they also had a time limit. Altogether, they only had three days. If they exceeded this time limit, they would not have the time to leave for the Temple Alliance to take part in the Selection Competition. Li Xin frowned and said: That wont do. I will ride Rose and enter further, investigating in their range. In that case, they should react to some extent. Lin Jia Lu immediately reacted: Impossible. Its too dangerous. Your Rose Unicorn is too obvious. If you try, theres a risk that you attract some enemies that are so powerful that well bepletely wiped out. While they were talking among themselves about the countermeasures for dealing with the situation, Long Hao Chen who was listening to the surroundings all along suddenly said in a loud voice, Be careful, there is an enemy! As he spoke, he held the Light Sword and suddenly lifted it. A gold-colored mantle instantly enveloped the five people inside. It was a [Divine Light Mantle]! Almost instantly after this, a violent shock was transmitted from under their feet and, with a _puh_ sound, the [Divine Light Mantle] was shattered. Also, at this very moment, another [Divine Light Mantle] wasunched right under their feet, obstructing this attack that came from below. A 1.5 meters tall entity attacking with an extremely thick thorn was stopped by the [Divine Light Mantle] surrounding them; if Long Hao Chen had reacted a stepter, they would have endured this attack with their bodies. It had a total of seven or eight thick and sharp stings. They were purple ck colored and emitted faint purple ck colored ripples in the air around it. The secondyer of [Divine Light Mantle] was actually not sent out by Long Hao Chen: the time it took him to use the skill twice in a row was not so quick. It was naturally Hao Yue who was beside him, using its gold-color eyed lizard head to spread the skill, perfectly imitating Long Hao Chens [Divine Light Mantle] and covering everyone in this defense. The Luke n. These five youths were the elite of their generation in Hao Yue City, but they were so shocked that they could not react at all in this brief moment. When Li Xin shouted in a loud voice, a red-colored radiance glinted in her longsword that she used to ferociously stab at the ground. Long Hao Chen, Chen Si, and Chen Chen reacted the same way. Continuous _Pu Pu_ sounds rang, violently shaking the ground. Lin Jia Lu lowered the magical staff in her hand a little, shooting a blue ray toward the ground while simultaneously calling out: Take out your weapons! As the thick, bloodied weapons were pulled up from the ground, immediately afterwards, everyone felt a chill under his feet; the ground had already been frozen with ice that was as thick as steel. Lin Jia Lus [Ice Wall Method] was directlyunched under their feet. A group of thick and solid sharp stingers encircled the five youths of the group and, immediately afterwards, new figures jumped out from the ground, encircling the group of five including Long Hao Chen. They had a fierce and evil looking appearance, quite simr to monstrous abominations that were shaped like humans. Their height was roughly 1.7 meters, they were naked, and on the lower part of the body were meticulous ck-colored scales. On the upper portion of their bodies, their skin was purple ck-colored and the head had three eyes; but the fact they had four arms was the most peculiar. Thats right, each of these monsters had four arms and each of these arms were shaped simrly to a needle: their little arms ended in a point. Their sharp tips of these stingers emitted a cold light. Despite the fact that everyone in Long Hao Chens group had sufficient knowledge in regards to demons, when confronting one for real, they could not help but feel somewhat nervous. 6,000 years earlier, the 72 Demon Gods suddenly descended on the maind of Shengmo Dalu, leading to the mutation of a great amount of life forms which were mutated into demons of various strength. The demons that appeared before their eyes belonged to the Luke n, one of the 20 major ns of the demon race. , form of a losange with Lin Jia Lu at its center *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 59 - The Dragon Rises and Sets Sail (III)

Chapter 59: The Dragon Rises and Sets Sail (III)

Compared to humans, the most frightening aspect of demons was their innate fighting capabilities. Every one of them, without exception, could fight since birth. Their innate talent in this regard was far beyondparison with humans; even without undergoing any form of training, they could still be formidable warriors. The innate peculiarity of the members of the Luke n was that they had four stinger-shaped hands. Their frontal fighting strength was not too high, but they were experts at mounting sneak attacks. With their four arms simultaneously held high above their head, they were capable of drilling underground with a high speedparable to sprints. Their attack arrived suddenly from underneath, causing people to be taken off guard and leaving them unable to defend effectively against it. At this time, Long Hao Chens group of five was surrounded by 16 or 17 Luke n soldiers. Some among them were, at this moment, lying on the ground. They had clearly perished from being repelled directly to the ground because of Long Hao Chens counter. These Luke nsmen had burst out from the ground, and immediately rushed at Long Hao Chens group of five. The warriors looked iparably tyrannical with their thick and sharp stingers that gave off a cold feeling. For the reason that the enemies came from all directions, with the exception of Lin Jia Lu, each of the others turned to a different direction to face the iing storm. Deep inside, they were a little nervous, but having reached the fourth step of their vocation, they had enough experience to know to not immediately rush into action. They kept their formation, each one brandishing his weapons, protecting Lin Jia Lu in the middle. The first who acted was the one at Long Hao Chens side, Hao Yue. His two heads pointed in opposite direction. Little me gathered a small ze in his mouth and shot forth a fireball. Little Light showed no moment of weakness and shot a very fast bolt of light, even faster than the fireball. Because each of Hao Yues heads could think independently, Long Hao Chen gave them different names ording to their attributes, Little me and Little Light. The light arrow that Little Light fired was a third of a meter long, and extremely fast. It was directly aimed at a warrior from the Luke n. It did not even have the time to react when, with a _Pu_ sound, its head was already pierced and its four stingers fell down on the ground. Immediately afterwards, with a _Boom_ sound, another Luke nsman tried to use its stingers to block the fireball and stopped it, but was sent flying away by the explosive force of the fireball. There was a total of about ten enemies. Long Hao Chen was only facing four of them, and in addition, two of the enemies had already been subdued by Hao Yue, so naturally he did not feel the slightest bit of pressure. He chanted a kind of muffled chant at lightning speed, and lifted up the Light Sword in his hand with an exaggerated motion. A fantastic symbol shone at the top of his head, and as if it was contagious, this symbol immediately split apart, appearing atop the heads of the other four. Immediately following, a golden ring of light undted under the feet of the five people in its range, causing a faint golden radiance to appear around them. Before Long Hao Chenpleted these two holy magic spells, the two Luke nsmen had already dashed in and arrived close to him. He held up the Light Sword, but there was also the Radiant Shield in his left hand, and with two _peng peng_ sounds, the sharp stingers of the two Luke nsmen were blocked by the Radiant Shield. A golden mark appeared at the top of his head. It was the Guardian Knight ability, [Guardians Favor]; when the enemies attacked, [Guardians Favor] would immediately increase his defensive capabilities, reducing the attack power of the enemy to a certain extent. The golden ring turned the nervousness in Long Hao Chens group of five into determination, this was the [Faith Halo]. Just like [Guardian Favor], it was a Guardian Knights support skill. While these two abilities were activated, the Light Sword in Long Hao Chens hand had started to shine, and a third of a meter long edges of de made of light prated them, easily beheading the bodies of the two Luke n members. Little Light and Little me, who shot once again a fireball and a light arrow,pletely getting rid of the twost Luke nsmen. The four enemies Long Hao Chen and hispanions were facing were entirely wiped out just like that. Lin Jia Lu, located at the middle of the formation, hadpleted a magical spell at the same time; Long Hao Chen was so young that she naturally wanted to take care of the enemies at his side first, but just as her magic waspleted, Long Hao Chen had already finished the battle. Not only that, he had also used two area effective assisting skills on everyone. [Ice Spear]. Four blue rays were unleashed in the air, falling like meteorites and transforming into four two meter long ice spears that were aimed at four Luke n soldiers that immediately fell to the ground, their eyes bing lifeless. In the next instant, the enemies on Li Xin and Chen Chens sides were also wiped out; as a Shield Warrior, defense was Chen Sis specialization. However, the aid of Lin Jia Lus spears had already settled the fight. The Luke n soldiers fighting capability was weak: they were, in fact, like second step first rank human warriors. Without the opportunity ofunching a surprise attack, how could they be an opponent for these four formidable fourth step youths? Seeing the corpses around them, everyone let out a breath at the same time. These enemies from the Luke n were just too unexpected. Although they did not have high fighting capabilities, they had mounted a sneak attack from underground, so if they had not reacted at time, Long Hao Chens group would have been bound to have had great casualties. Little brother Long, thank you. Lin Jia Lu told Long Hao Chen with a somewhat pale face. She was a mage with a weak defense; in the case that they did not discover this sneak attack, the most likely to have died would have been her. The way the two brothers Chen Si and Chen Chen looked at Long Hao Chenpletely changed. Although Long Hao Chen had Hao Yues help in the previous fight, it should not be forgotten that it was not only him who discovered the enemy, but he had also used three holy magic spells, one more than Lin Jia Lu did as the mage of the team. [Divine Light Mantle], [Faith Halo], and [Guardians Favor]; even though they were all skills used by second step Guardian Knights, he used them in an extraordinary way. In addition, he had also used two clean [Lightning Cuts] to get rid of two enemies. Seeing such a quick link speed, Chen Si and Chen Chen could not help but gasp in admiration. Without a single doubt, Long Hao Chen was already quite strong, he was a Grand Knight and not simply Li Xins attendant. A fourteen year-old Grand Knight! Just by thinking about it, the two little brothers of the Chen family felt a chill in their hearts. The forte of a Grand Knight was not the continuous use of his skills externalizing his spiritual energy. Although Long Hao Chen did not have this kind of ability, he had, just now, continuously used andbined his skills to the extent that his strength could not be doubted the slightest bit. While everyone was looking at Long Hao Chen, bbergasted, Long Hao Chensplexion suddenly changed and he shouted once more, Be careful! A light glinted: it was another [Divine Light Mantle]. However, this time, the [Divine Light Mantle] was instantly smashed to pieces right after it appeared, and at the moment it was smashed to pieces, everyone could see a lightning fast silhouette appear at Lin Jia Lus side. A thick ray of light went straight toward Lin Jia Lus neck, about to pierce it. A surprise attack! Lin Jia Lu was located at the center of the four-man formation: as her role as a mage, she was the central point of protection of the team. However, at that moment, her partners did not expect this faintly discernible figure to break the [Divine Light Mantle] so suddenly; it had already prated the formation, passing through the small gap between Chen Chen and Li Xin. The speed of this enemy was really too high, the majority of the people here could only stare nkly in reaction. Using the [Divine Light Mantle] was already the most Long Hao Chen could do in this situation: in terms of distance and speed, he had no way toe to the aid of Lin Jia Lu in time. JIA LU Li Xin shouted out. But no matter how anxious she was, she needed time to attempt to save her. How could she make it at time? A cold, sharp de arrived at Lin Jia Lus neck and finally reached her trembling skin; from the moment when Long Hao Chen shouted loudly to be careful, she could already feel this cold feeling. Omitting the fact that she was a Grand Mage, she was, before everything, a vulnerable mage; in such circumstances, there was no way to save her. Had the time of her deathe? At this instant, Lin Jia Lu could not feel anything: no joy, no sadness. Only endless denial. It seemed as if this sharp de had already cut her throat apart, and all that she could feel was her soul leaving her body , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 60 - The Dragon Rises and Sets Sail (IV)

Chapter 60: The Dragon Rises and Sets Sail (IV)

DONGC A clear and loud sound echoed, and just like a rippling wave, a silhouette stood firm, three steps away from Lin Jia Lus figure. What happened? Regardless of whether it was Li Xin or the Chen brothers, everyone had their eyes opened wide because they just saw a scene they could notprehend at all. When [Divine Light Mantle] was cast, a white light had simultaneously started to glow from Long Hao Chens chest; the light was not intense at all, but it caused this sharp-edged de to stick at the skin of Lin Jia Lus neck as the invisible silhouette suddenly became motionless. The strangest thing was that a white glow instantly appeared from this figure, exposing its silhouette. The sharp de slowly receded from Lin Jia Lus neck and did not split her neck open at all; instead, it was suddenly aimed at Long Hao Chen. With a _Dong_ sound, Long Hao Chen obstructed the attack with the Radiant Shield, the parry sending out a sound. Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong The sounds of the parries repeatedly rang from Long Hao Chens Radiant Shield. A drizzling white light was propagating on the invisible figure that wasunching attacks that were as powerful as howling wind and torrential rain against Long Hao Chen, which Long Hao Chen steadily blocked. The Radiant Shield in Long Hao Chens hand kept parrying, receiving each of the enemys frenzied strikes without taking a single step back, just like an insurmountable mountain. AH- Lin Jia Lu cried out at this moment. Her neck hurt slightly and a little cut had opened, making a few drops of blood flow out of it; but above all, an intense feeling of fear was filling her entire body, making it feel limp and painful. Shepletely forgot to lead the others. Regardless of whether it was as the genius who showed outstanding performances during her cultivation period in Hao Yue Mage Hall, or as a mere girl who was going to the battlefield for the first time, her mind almost fell apart from experiencing her life hanging by a thread. The fastest to react was Li Xin. Without the slightest of hesitation, she used an [Instant st Cross Cut] from the rear to repel the invisible figure. This invisible enemy was indeed a terrible opponent: his body slightly twisted in the air, easily dodging Li Xins attack. However, it was truly strange. It was as if he only saw Long Hao Chen, aiming all of his attacks at him. What are you doing? Attack immediately! Li Xin shouted with her delicate voice, rousing the two brothers and bringing Lin Jia Lu back to her senses. Hao Yue, who was under Long Hao Chens feet, also attacked: [Fireballs] and [Light Arrows] wereunched in session, immediately exploding on the invisible enemy. At this moment, everyone could clearly see that this invisible enemy was shaped like a human; besides the ability to make himself invisible, he was not that differentpared to a human. Both of his hands grasped simr sharp transparent des, the first was pointing at the sky and the second one at the ground. All of the attacks shot by Hao Yues two heads were repelled by the pair of sharp des, they were simply ineffective against him. [Whirlwind Strike]! Chen Chen bursted out. Each of his hands grasped a fire attributed longsword, and a whirlwind of fire turned around him as he advanced toward the invisible figure. Li Xin lept up, performing an [Instant st Cross Cut]. The two swords in her hands merged together and then separated as a cross in the sky. Chen Si was a Shield Warrior, an expert at defense. He moved by Long Hao Chens side, attempting to help Long Hao Chen by taking a share of the attacks, but from beginning to end, the invisible enemy only attacked Long Hao Chen and no one else. During thisbined frontal assault, the body of this invisible enemy strangely halted, and his body suddenly erupted, emitting a bloody aura that shone with a dark-red color. The first to be affected was Chen Chen. His [Whirlwind Strike] intersected with this red colored radiance, and with a groaning sound, his [Whirlwind Strike] was stopped and he fell down on the side. At this time, the difference in Li Xins level of cultivation with the rest of the group manifested. With a _Bang_ sound, her pair of swords ruthlessly chopped at that dark red radiance, and although it clearly hit the target head on, this invisible enemy was only shaken a little. Taking advantage of this little period, the pair of sharp des in the enemys hands became red-colored. His tiptoe danced on the floor, and like a tornado, he sprinted straight for Long Hao Chen with the pair of sharp pointed des. An ear-piercing sound bursted out aloud. If one could see the scene from a distant location, he would see that the invisible enemy had be a sort of dark red-colored bolt of lightning. Long Hao Chensplexion did not change the slightest bit; his handsome face was expressionless and his crystal clear golden eyes looked at the enemy very calmly. He did not look like a 14 year old child at all. Parrying stance, shield held firmly, Long Hao Chen stood there like a stone. [Divine Obstruction]. _DongC_ , with a violent noise, Long Hao Chens entire body emitted a golden light and the invisible enemy was repelled back into the air. Long Hao Chen then finally moved his right hand that he did not use at all until that moment. The Light Sword shone with a dazzling light and struck down, a golden radiance appearing simultaneously all around his body and instantly pouring into the Light Sword in his hand. [Bright Vengeance] and [Light Thorn]. Because his attack had just been blocked, the invisible enemy could not make it in time to block the attack with his dark-red de. With a _Bang_ sound, the invisible enemy violently smashed down onto the ground, traces of blood appearing on his face. The ground waspletely deformed by his fall. And at the next instant, a ball that shone like the sun appeared behind his back. Shining a rich golden red light, the force of light and fire fell from the sky. [Shining Sunlight Strike]. AaahC With a scream, everything stopped for a split second. The invisible enemys body was split into two by Li Xins [Shining Sunlight Strike], a dark green blood sshed in all directions and this formerly invisible being finally became visible. Chen Si reacted very quickly. He went by the side of the pale Lin Jia Lu, lifting the shield in his hand and emitting a yellow-colored light to enclose and protecting himself and Lin Jia Lu inside. What are you doing?! Li Xin shouted at Lin Jia Lu. If Long Hao Chen had waited a little more a moment ago, before obstructing the enemys attack against Lin Jia Lu, they would have dealt with this invisible enemy even easier. Lin Jia Lu was gasping for breath, mouth wide opened. She was shaking in fear, but she finally came back to her senses under the effect of Li Xins shouting voice. Sis, let it be. Long hurriedly pulled Li Xin back. The crisis was notpletely finished. Who knew if another unexpected enemy could suddenly appear? Li Xin turned around and looked at Long Hao Chen. She was stillpletely astonished. Without a doubt, if not for Long Hao Chens amazing intervention, Lin Jia Lu would have died. Although Li Xin was the one who finished off the enemy, Long Hao Chen was the one who resisted his all-out attack. If not for his defense, which was as solid and steady as the Mount Tai, and the [Divine Obstruction] he relied on to wound the enemy using his [Bright Vengeance]bined with his [Light Thorn]. Considering the ability of this invisible demon, there was no way [Shining Sunlight Strike] would have killed him like that. Chen Si silently said: We dont have a priest, so we have no way to use a detection eye skill. If another invisible opponent of this kind reappears, it will really be dangerous. What should we do? Lin Jia Lu lowered her head, she waspletely ashamed. She was not remarkable at all; what had just happened was too unexpected. Little brother Long, my mind is already in disorder, I am not fitting tomand you. Either you or Li Xin should lead everyone. Li Xin answered without the slightest hesitation: Hao Chen, take themand. Age had never been a criteria in evaluating strength. These two times, it was Long Hao Chen who had discovered the opponent first and prevented everyone from being harmed. Although the others did not know how he did, all of them were absolutely willing to obey his orders. Long Hao Chen did not decline and silently said: The enemies must have a special method to detect us. This attack wasunched by the Luke nsmen, and right afterwards, we were immediately attacked by this invisible enemy. There were 20 demons from the Luke n in addition to this invisible demoning from the Dike n. We have already killed 21 enemies, so we only have four left toplete the task. The distance from here to the border of the Alliance is quite far and the enemies have already discovered us. They must already know about the failure and will be bound to dispatch another attack against us. We have to leave and prudently retreat to the direction of the Alliance. If we have a chance toplete the task, well take it. But if we dont, our priority should still be to head back to the Alliance. We need to find how to keep ourselves safe, before thinking about going in battle. , Di means earth/ground and Ke is a random word. I thought of Dick n as a westernized name, but was stopped by the proofreaders. I wonder why. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 61 - Dark Green Dual Bladed Demon (I)

Chapter 61: Dark Green Dual ded Demon (I)

Although Long Hao Chen was young, Long Xing Yu and Ye Hua had taught him their vast knowledge and the lessons they learned on the battlefield. To stay calm was the key, and self-preservation was more important than prevailing over the enemy. Lin Jia Lu could not help but look once more at the corpse of the invisible enemy. The Dyke n was ssified as a middle-ranked n of the demon race, proficient at utilizing their invisibility skill, speed, and attack power. Their appearance did not differ much from humans except they had long and narrow faces, grey colored skin, and longer arms than humans. Their attack power was also quite deadly, especially when they approached while under the state of invisibility, preventing their opponent from noticing and blocking their attack. They were the nemesis of mages. Most importantly, while they are invisible, the only way to reveal them is to hit them with abilities with holy attribute or the [Eyes of Truth] of a priest. In every war, making use of their invisibility, a great amount of Dyke nsmen would target the parties mages. The mostmon invisible enemies from the Dyke n had the power equivalent to that of a fourth step human warrior, and that was only the weakest of them. As a middle ranked member of the demon race, they could also enhance their strength through cultivation, which the Luke n could not do. Lets depart. Long Hao Chen said in a low voice, And keep our original formation, however I will be at the rear. Sis, dont summon Rose. Our stealth is our advantage right now. If the enemies are to dispatch troops to pursue and attack us, we will have a lot of options. All right. Li Xin gripped her pair of swords and after quickly sweeping her eyes over Lin Jia Lu, she started advancing with quick steps. Lin Jia Lu took a deep breath and felt the ice cold atmosphere. Steadying her mind, she used the [Floating Method] on herself to catch up with Li Xins pace. The Chen brothers and Long Hao Chen also started to move, keeping their original formation and advancing towards the Temple Alliance at a high speed. While walking, Long Hao Chen thought to himself about the previous attack. He had discovered that the first two enemies that attacked them because of the simple reason that his perception was sharper due to his unusual mental strength. When he came back from the Knights Sacred Mountain after blending his blood with Hao Yues blood, he discovered that on top of the fact his external spiritual energy kept showing signs of growth, his perception had also be even sharper than in the past. The invisible Dyke nsmen also had the ability to conceal their smell and their breath. The Dyke nsman was only discovered by Long Hao Chen when it was very close, which was proof that his perception was formidable. During the previous fight, Long Hao Chen could also determine that the invisible Dyke nsmans strength was already at the fifth step. More importantly, during that previous fight, Long Hao Chen had used the ability of his Spiritual Stove for the first time. A split second after he discovered the Dyke nsman, he had casted the [Divine Light Mantle]. At that time, he did not even know what kind of enemy it was, but he was sure that the defensive power of the [Divine Light Mantle] would not be able to fend off the enemy. Thus, at the same time heunched the [Divine Light Mantle], he stimted his Saint Spiritual Stove for the first time, emitting a white light from his chest. In the instant the Spiritual Stove targeted the opponent, Long Hao Chen could clearly feel that the other sides spirit was locked onto him. The spiritual stove had neither offensive nor defensive capabilities, but the Dyke nsman did not have any other option but to target him, his all-out attack shifting to aim for Long Hao Chen instead. This pulling ability of his Saint Spiritual Stove was what enabled him to save Lin Jia Lus life. Otherwise, considering Long Hao Chens current level of cultivation, he basically had no way to save her. Under Ye Huas guidance during this half-year, Long Hao Chen learned how to use the Saint Spiritual Stove. Ye Hua exined to him the mysteries and the various kinds of ways to use it. The range at which Long Hao Chen could currently use the Saint Spiritual Stove was roughly 200 meters. If the distance from the enemies exceeded this distance, the Saint Spiritual Stove would have no effect. Lin Jia Luunched another [Eagles Eyes] into the air. Although it could not detect enemies like the Luke nsmen or the Dyke nsmen, the threat of the Luke n was not very high and the Dyke n was considered as an umon existence in this part of the demon race territory; a second one was unlikely to appear. Apart from these two ns, the majority of the demon ns would be spotted by the [Eagles Eyes]. Enemy. Lin Jia Lu said in a low voice. Everyone stopped moving and Li Xin asked: How many? One. Lin Xin turned her eyes, What are we squawking for if theres a single one Lin Jia Lu did not quarrel with her this time and said in a low voice: Its a dark green Zelin nsman, a Dual ded Demon. Hes fast, and it seems that hes pursuing us. Hes headed in our direction. Hearing her words, including Long Hao Chen, everyonesplexion changed and they gasped with surprise. The Zelin n was arge n within the demon race; they were the most numerous in terms of quantity, and ording to the investigations conducted by the Temple Alliance, the Zelin ns total poption was at least 3 millions. About 100,000 Dual ded Demons from the Zelin n would perish on the battlefield every year. The Zelin ns Dual ded Demons were the mostmonly seen demons. They were not a mutation of humans, but a mutation of a kind of magical beast among the ones that became mutated at the moment the 72 Demon Gods descended. Originally, their fighting strength was only equivalent to that of a second step warrior and were among the less numerous kinds of demons. However, with their astonishing reproductive capability, their poption kept increasing, gradually bing the most popted demon n several thousand yearster. If it was merely a normal Dual ded Demon, Long Hao Chens group could cope with dozens of enemies of their level without any problem. However, the problem lied in the fact Lin Jia Lu said it was a dark green-colored one. Normal Dual ded Demons from the Zelin n were ck-colored, their whole body covered by a carapace, and describing them from the human standards, it could be said that they had only external spiritual energy and no internal spiritual energy, a demon specie that relied on their physical strength for close rangedbat. However, when a ck-colored Dual ded Demon from the Zelin n turned dark-green, it meant that they went through an evolution. In that case, they became equivalent to Kings within the Zelin n. Among 10,000 Dual ded Demons, there would only be a single Dark Green Dual ded Demon. The power of the Zelin n King was that of genuine fifth step powerhouses. They were extremely tough opponents: other fifth step fighters were generally not a match against them. The powerful Dyke nsman who attacked them previously was close to the fifth step, but he was actually not a real fifth step demon. For humans as well as demons, the fifth step was a borderline. The difference for demons of the fourth step and the fifth step was equivalent to the difference between a Grand Knight and an Earth Knight. Between a Grand Knight of the ninth rank and an Earth Knight of the first rank, there was an insurmountable gap. Without a doubt, this Dark Green Dual ded Demon that suddenly appeared was powerful enough topletely annihte them. What should we do? Lin Jia Lus eyes were locked on Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen hesitated for a little moment before asking back: Did you discover any other demon? Lin Jia Lu shook her head and answered: I didnt discover others of them, this one is alone. Even if the demons know our location, they will not dispatch their main army to cope with us: after all, dispatching a single Dark Green Dual ded Demon, with its status of being a Demon Gods bodyguard, an invisible Dyke nsman and twenty slinking soldiers from the Luke n is already thinking highly of us. From my estimations, at least for now, no other demon wille to help this one. Long Hao Chen took a deep breath, his eyes were filled with a firm look, To hide is just a temporary measure. The speed of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon isnt something we canpare with, it will catch up with us sooner orter. Everyone should calmly recover their spiritual energy, and Big Sis, summon Rose. We will fight it to death. If we pass this obstacle, we will have the opportunity to retreat to the Alliance. Good. Li Xin was definitely a newborn calf that did not fear tigers. Immediately summoning Rose, she turned around and climbed onto the Rose Unicorns back, showing a mighty appearance. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 62 - Dark Green Dual Bladed Demon (II)

Chapter 62: Dark Green Dual ded Demon (II)

Rose was already a fifth step magical beast, only a bit away from the sixth step. Strictly speaking, at this stage, magical beasts were as strong as humans one step below them. So in her original form, Rose was equivalent to a peak level Grand Knight in terms of cultivation level and was a lot more powerful than the others present. As long as they had her help, their odds in dealing with this Dark Green Dual ded Demon were indeed a bit better. Lin Jia Lu had already be calmer, and she kept using [Eagles Eye Method] to observe. In at most three minutes, it will be in sight. Long Hao Chen made prompt decisions, We will be facing the opponent very soon. I do not want to keep this fact hidden, but what I previously used to attract the Dyke ns invisible demon was an ability from my spiritual stove, the Saint Spiritual Stove. After I block this Dark Green Dual ded Demon, but before I get killed by it, use your most powerful attacks and go all out against it. I dont know how long Ill be able tost either, so you will have to unleash your most powerful attack as soon as possible to get rid of this enemy. Their group of five included only three vocations: a knight, a warrior, and a mage. In addition, this was the first time they have worked together. Thats why, when facing the invisible demon, they were so uncoordinated. As a result, Long Hao Chen had to make them function cohesively. Hearing the three words Saint Spiritual Stove, the others could not help but show awed eyes, especially Lin Jia Lu. Being the daughter of the leader of governmental affairs in Hao Yue City, she was a lot more knowledgeable in regards to spiritual stoves than the two Chen brothers. She immediately understood that the Saint Spiritual Stove was what saved her life. Li Xin,pletely shocked, looked straight at Long Hao Chen, Hao Chen, you stinky brat, why is it that you concealed this from your Big Sis? Long Hao Chen showed an apologizing look, Sorry, Big Sis, teacher didnt permit me to reveal it, so I Li Xin smiled: Its okay, now is not the time to speak about it. Lets get rid of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon, and then Ill settle the bill with you. Chen Si and Chen Chen exchanged nces, their expressions somewhat wooden; a 14 year-old Grand Knight who also had a Spiritual Stove, something they did not even dare to dream about getting. Chen Si said: Hao Chen, Ill provide assistance to help you defend against it. If you do this alone, I am afraid that Long Hao Chen nodded and told him: Big Brother Chen,ter on, I will need you toe from the side to block and gain some time for me. I will use [Divine Obstruction] to conduct the defense, but everytime I block, I will need some time to concentrate my spiritual energy before I can use [Divine Obstruction] once more, so I want you to defend and resist during these short moments. If we are well coordinated, this Dark Green Dual ded Demon will have no chance to get through my defense before my spiritual energy is entirely used up. Chen Si gulped, Earlier, was it the [Divine Obstruction] that enabled you to block the all-out attack of the invisible enemy from the Dyke n? At that moment, I didnt dare be sure of it, but was it indeed that? Long Hao Chen gentlyughed, winking before him: Please keep it a secret for me, elder bro Chen! Chen Si gave an understanding look. From his point of view, Long Hao Chen had be 2 meters tall. Even if they have not cooperated together in the past, everyone here was a well-known figure among the youths of Hao Yue City. With Long Hao Chen as their core, it would be a lot easier to coordinate themselves. With Lin Jia Lu retreating back to the rear and Li Xin and Chen Chen on both sides, the five people calmly waited together. It could be said that they had the possibility to challenge the Dark Green Dual ded Demon precisely because Long Hao Chen possessed a [Saint Spiritual Stove]. Otherwise, only Long Hao Chen with his [Divine Obstruction] would be able to resist when this powerful fifth step opponent had the opportunity to attack. Despite the fact it was the first time he had relied on the Saint Spiritual Stove inbat, Long Hao Chen already had a profound knowledge on this impressive tool; the defensive power of the Spiritual Stove had an immense utility in coborative battles. Looking at the Light de in his hand, deep inside, Long Hao Chen became gloomy. His father was right, it was during real battles that one could improve himself the fastest. In terms of robustness, Long Hao Chens body had no way topare to that of Chen Si and Chen Chen. However, even though he was only 14 years old, he was currently the cornerstone of this five-man team. Facing a powerhouse at the fifth step, he was not afraid in the least. Even if there was only him present among the five youths, he would still try to face and ovee this fifth step powerhouse at all costs. At this moment, the sun was already rising from the east, shining brightly onto the earth and on the horizon, with the shining sunshine illuminating everything, the silhouette of a Dark Green Dual ded Demon gradually appeared in the field of vision of these five. At this moment, Long Hao Chen slowly shut his eyes, adjusting the internal spiritual energy revolving in his chest. [Saint Spiritual Stove]. _It does not only draw the enemy in, but also my internal spiritual energy! In thest fight, when I used the spiritual stove, the recovery of my internal spiritual energy was at least 20% slower than normal._ Long Hao Chen was gradually bing more and more interested in these mysterious treasures. The dark-green-colored demon was constantly advancing towards the group. Li Xin, Lin Jia Lu, Chen Si, and Chen Chen all took the same action without prior discussion: they gripped their weapons firmly in their hands. This was not a friendly practice, they were facing a powerful enemy with a fifth step cultivation level for real. Defeat would not be eptable, because it would mean their death. Atst, they could finally see the appearance of the dark-green-colored figure clearly. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon looked two meters tall, but was actually approximately three meters tall. Its thick limbs were stepping on the ground, and it rushed, covering 15 meters in a split second. At its back, a narrow winged shell could be seen. This winged shell was not for the purpose of flying but enabled his majestic body to keep its bnce while running. Its fierce and evil face resembled that of a lizards, but was much wider, revealing its thick teeth, and the most impressive thing was that a couple of forelimbs were growing on its shoulder. These forelimbs were 1.5 meters long and extremely thick, but unlike its other four limbs, they did not support the creatures body. They were raised up in front of its face, each one was a stinger with three long, sharp des: the first, the sharpest of the three, a de that was half a meter long; the second, a third of a meter; the third, a little shorter still. Together, these forelimbs had six des glittering with a jade green light, essentially forming a group of magical des. But ordinary magical des would not be so long, nor so sharp; they would be much smaller than the Dark Green Dual ded Demons forelimbs. When this Dark Green Dual ded Demon was a hundred meters away from the group of five, Long Hao Chen opened his eyes wide. His long eyshes jumped up slightly, showing his crystal clear golden eyes. It was to the extent that the silhouette of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon could be seen reflected in them. An intense fighting spirit exploded throughout his whole body. Prepare to fight! To this Dark Green Dual ded Demon, a distance of a hundred meters was something it could cover with a few steps. Lowly humans, you had the impertinence to kill my demon soldiers. Go to hell! The Dark Green Dual ded Demon spat out these words, its voice extremely loud, and even before it finished speaking, its enormous body had already charged forward. With a white glitter, the Saint Spiritual Stove was activated. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon, locked in on Long Hao Chen, instantly rushed and covered twenty meters. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon was slightly dyed, but directly charged toward Long Hao Chen without the slightest hesitation. The dark green shell shone as the Dark Green Dual ded Demon charged at a high speed like a dark ray of light, arriving at Long Hao Chen and chopping towards him using its enormous forelimb. HongC The first thing that it collided with was not actually Long Hao Chens body, but the magical spellunched by Lin Jia Lu. Four long ice spears were barreling towards the body of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 63 - Dark Green Dual Bladed Demon (III)

Chapter 63: Dark Green Dual ded Demon (III)

Surprisingly, the five people could simultaneously see that these four ice spears were immediately broken into pieces upon colliding with its shell. As a result, countless ice crystals were scattered in the air, fluttering like little petals. Only a few white traces were left on its body. What a solid defense! As expected of a big shot from one of thergest demon ns. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon could not use any abilities, but with it being of the fifth step, how could it not be powerful? ng, Cling the Radiant Shield on Long Hao Chens hand violently emitted a golden light and [Divine Obstruction] forcefully blocked the blow of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon with a metallic sound. A rich gold color was simultaneously sent out from Long Hao Chens body, and at the same instant, Long Hao Chens pupils suddenly shrank. The body of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon had an offensive power that he could not even imagine. Even though Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy had already reached the 1600th level, making him an eighth ranked Grand Knight, this opponent waspletely overwhelming. With his current level of cultivation, even a peak ranked Earth Knight could not break his [Divine Obstruction] without using skills, because even if the opponent was a ninth ranked Earth Knight, he would have a spiritual energy below 4000; if it was above 4000, he would be a Radiant Knight. [Divine Obstruction] could stop anything up to an offensive power with a spiritual level three times superior. If not for this fact, it would not be called the most mysterious knight skill. Just like this, the heavy blow of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon was stopped with this magnificent disy of Long Hao Chens [Divine Obstruction]. He stood as firm as before, only drawing two steps back, and at the same time, he discovered that in front of his Radiant Shield, this Dark Green Dual ded Demon only had used a single heavy de. In this instant, the difference between the fourth step and the fifth step could clearly be seen. Previously, when the invisible opponent from the Dyke n was stopped by Long Hao Chens [Divine Obstruction], its body showed a time of dy, but this Dark Green Dual ded Demon was not stopped the slightest bit, its other heavy de instantly sweeping in. Facing this attack, Long Hao Chen was a bit dazed. Due to his mistake in not anticipating this attack of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, Chen Si instantly moved, but was too slow. After blocking the blow, Long Hao Chens body was still shaking a bit. He had no choice but to lift up the Light Sword in his hand, drawing support from the condensed light released by [Divine Obstruction] to form a [Bright Vengeance], to resist the power of the sharp de near his neck. PingC In the next instant, Long Hao Chens body was sent flying away like an artillery shell. He was sent flying 10 meters away, crashing onto the ground. With this tyrannical impact, he felt as if the webbing between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand was split open, his Light Sword sent flying out. Long Hao Chen spat out a mouthful of blood; he was already wounded. [Divine Obstruction] was not absolute; Long Hao Chen could not disy the real might of [Divine Obstruction] at the level of a Radiant Knight. Because he had never encountered a demon as formidable as this Dark Green Dual ded Demon before, he did not imagine that this opponents attack power was so fearful. Nheless, the fact that Long Hao Chen received the blow was not without benefit at all. The instant after Long Hao Chen was sent flying by this Dark Green Dual ded Demon, Chen Sis heavy shield resolutely struck its body. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon was pushed away a little bit by this shield bash. In contrast, Chen Si was pushed back 7, 8 steps away and had difficulty standing firm. Li Xin and Chen Chens attacks arrived at this instant. Chen Chen had lept into the sky; two dazzling ming heavy swords, filled with a scorching hot spiritual energy, shed and ferociously chopped at the body of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. A [Jumping Chop] plus a [zing Chop] of a Warrior. This was abo that did not fear any defense. As a Berserker, his power was erupting wildly. With a Boom sound, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon was hit and its body almost immediately fell down, the zing pair of swords leaving two ck marks on its body. In this moment, the Rose Unicorn descended like a red cloud, a fiery light appearing around its body. She was concentrating her spiritual energy around her. [Multiple Images Attack], an innate talent of Rose Unicorns. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon that almost lost its bnce was forcibly sent flying by this attack. Its pair of powerful forelimbs were thrusted into the ground, restoring its bnce and its whole body slightly curled up before it rose once again to aim at its target, Long Hao Chen. Due to the pull of the Saint Spiritual Stove, even if the others had a superior offense power, the opponent had to get rid of Long Hao Chen first before shifting his attack. This was the effect of the spiritual stove. And at this moment, Long Hao Chen had just stood up from the ground. A gentle white glint appeared around Long Hao Chens body. A warm influx of spiritual energy surged into his hand, rapidly healing his wounds. Under the effect of this warm energy that was pouring into him, even his injured internal organs felt better. [Curing Light] was cast by one of Hao Yues heads, Little Light. Meanwhile, five [Fireballs] wereunched in session towards the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Although the rapid session of [Fireballs] didnt have enough power to kill or wound the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, it could push its body that was still flying in the air. Hao Yue was already back by Long Hao Chens side, standing on his vigorous limbs and raising his pair of heads as he stared at this Dark Green Dual ded Demon without the slightest of fear. A charge. Long Hao Chen did not simply stand at the same ce for long, waiting for the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. He instantly dashed to the side: he had to meet up with hisrades if he wanted to deal with this enemy. While dashing, he easily picked up his Light Sword on the way. The Dark Green Dual ded Demons body was really durable. Even continuously attacking him did not seem to have an effect in the least. With its four limbs on the ground, its body instantly threw itself into the sky, pouncing toward Long Hao Chen. OUUUC It was at this time that Hao Yues pair of heads simultaneously bellowed at this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. It was truly strange. When attacked from all sides, this enemy was not stopped the slightest bit, but with a single roar from Little Light and Little me, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon fazed, its cold face suddenly bing somewhat bewildered. Taking advantage of thispse, Long Hao Chen reunited once more with hisrades and gave a nce to Chen Si before they stood once again, shoulder by shoulder. After Lin Jia Luunched her ice spears, she stood there, and at lightning speed started chanting another spell incantation. This incantation seemed extremely long, and she lifted her magical staff high into the sky, quickly generating mysterious blue symbols. The water element around her body was being transformed, bing more and more pure. Li Xin was riding the Rose Unicorn, with a sincere face. Both of her hands were hung at both sides, holding her swords as it assimted the dense golden light that was gathered from the scarlet-colored zing aura emitted by the Rose Unicorn at high speeds. Hao Yue and the two pretty women agreed by chance on the fact that there was no need to conserve power. If they could not inflict a fatal injury to the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, even if Long Hao Chens Saint Spiritual Stove and his [Divine Obstruction] were quite mysterious, they had no way of escaping from their fate of being exterminated. All of them had already taken out their trump cards, their best abilities. Compared to the two of them, the two brothers Chen Si and Chen Chen were clearlycking. They did not have a background such as Lin Jia Lu and Li Xin and were extremely nervous. Big Bro Chen, lets do the same as before. You do not need to prepare too much in advance. Long Hao Chen said in a calm voice, rxing the both of them. A [Faith Halo] was released by Long Hao Chens body, enveloping all five youths into it without exception. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon that was interrupted for a moment leaped at them once more, its two imposing des chopping straight towards Long Hao Chen. This time, Long Hao Chen did not stand there simply using [Divine Obstruction]. Instead, facing this Dark Green Dual ded Demons two magical des, he took a step forward. In a simr fashion to previously, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon jumped, chopping with the first de. Long Hao Chens pace suddenly elerated, dodging on the side. Immediately following, the Radiant Shield on his left hand leaned, a white colored light instantly appearing on the Radiant Shield. Taking the shape of thick white patterns appearing on the surface, it instantly collided with the first de of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. , the author uses quotations to refer to the two main des of the dual ded demon. (I think they are a part of its body) *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 64 - Dark Green Dual Bladed Demon (IV)

Chapter 64: Dark Green Dual ded Demon (IV)

[Holy Filter Shield], a Guardian Knight shield skill that filled the shield with a divine light made of spiritual energy. PuC Just like that, the Dark Green Dual ded Demons first de was unexpectedly parried, hitting the ground. Long Hao Chens body shed, instantly bing steady and once again activating the rock-firm and unyielding [Divine Obstruction]. With a crashing sound, the second de hit the Radiant Shield, golden light scattering all around; Long Hao Chen finally managed to stop the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Normally, a mere [Holy Filter Shield] would not be able to block the strike of the Dark Green Dual ded Demons first de. However, by further adding the shield technique [Leaned Shield Unloading Power] that Ye Hua had passed onto him, he could block the opponent albeit with difficulty. The Light Sword was lifted up. It sparkled with the light of the halo that expanded from Long Hao Chens body. [Imposing Ring], a Guardian Knight skill with the effect of increasing the overall spiritual energy power by 10%. Drawing support from [Divine Obstruction] and [Bright Vengeance], and by fully utilizing his abilities, he could save his internal spiritual energy while increasing the effect of his skills. The other four were surrounded once more by a holy ring. This time, Chen Si did not repeat the same mistake. He resolutely struck on the Dark Green Dual ded Demons side with his shield and, with the amplification effect of the Holy Ring, heunched an all out attack, repelling the Dark Green Dual ded Demon back by a meter. Chen Si let out a grunt while falling back and tumbling on his butt. A glint appeared on the red colored longsword that came from the side like a bolt of lightning. A zing red aura made the de of the sword turn red. With a Pu sound, the sword entered the small crack a sixth of a meter wide in the the Dark Green Dual ded Demons shell, aiming for its neck. As a response, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon cried out in pain, the two des frantically sweeping about. Chen Chen entrusted everything to one throw. Launching a [Skyfire Thrust], his most powerful attack at the fourth step cultivation level, he finally split open the small crack in the defense of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. With Chen Sis aid, Long Hao Chen could take a little breather before firmly gripping his Radiant Shield and using [Holy Filter Shield] once more. PuC , the first de was parried by the [Holy Filter Shield]; Long Hao Chen had steadily taken the hit. He wanted to give his partners an opportunity to attack. After withstanding this blow, he dropped the Radiant Shield and once again spat a mouthful of blood. The Light Sword reced the shield and [Divine Obstruction] was used once again. With a Bang sound, golden light was scattered as he managed to resist. From Long Hao Chens mouth and nose, more blood flowed. A me Sword that glowed a golden red light seemed to cut the entire world apart as it ruthlessly struck the Dark Green Dual ded Demons vulnerable body, producing an intense sound. HOUUC The Dark Green Dual ded Demon was bellowing even though the me Sword had not prated into its body. The one whounched this attack was precisely Li Xin. This attack was one thatbined light and fire, the Rose Unicorns skill with hers, [Heavenly Dance of Light and me]. A dark blue light silently appeared at this precise moment, aiming right in between the gap of the Dark Green Dual ded Demons two des. Pu chi. The blue light prated its head and exited out from the back. Lin Jia Lu kept ahold of her magical staff; her face had be pale. This [Dark Ice Needle] seemed to have exhausted all of her spiritual energy. Long Hao Chen then heroically used the Light Sword in his hand, a golden colored aura erupted around his body. This was a Retribution Knight skill, [Heavenly Battle Array]. The golden light attack aimed at the gap between the two des of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Having retrieved the Radiant Shield, he also used it to strike above its chest, and pushed it back. A white-colored healing light was once again shining onto Long Hao Chens body; Hao Yue had already appeared beside Long Hao Chen and the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. A red-colored ring of light appeared on Little mes forehead, [Resisting Ring of Fire], simultaneously affecting the bodies of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon and Long Hao Chen. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon had only been pushed back one meter, but Long Hao Chen, whose wounds were not light, had been pushed back five meters. Chen Si was getting up from the ground, standing beside Long Hao Chen with his heavy shield. The Dark Green Dual ded Demons body became stiff, standing there, but unceasingly shaking. As a powerful mutated magical beast of the fifth step, it had an incredible endurance which made it extremely hard to defeat. Even if the two me Swords hadpletely pierced him, they would not have taken its life. However, the [Dark Ice Needle] of Lin Jia Lu dealt the final blow. When Long Hao Chen obstructed the Dark Green Dual ded Demons second attack, Lin Jia Lus [Dark Ice Needle] was already prepared. She used the [Dyed Cast] skill, waiting for the opportunity. She had a single chance to strike, so if she could not hit the target at the crucial time, she would have wasted her attack. After Li Xin inflicted serious damage to the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, the opportunity had finally arrived and the [Dark Ice Needle] pierced its brain. Even if the Dark Green Dual ded Demons body was incredibly robust, it could not possibly survive this. ThudC Just like a mountain of gold, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon fell on the ground, its body repeatedly twitching with a dark-green-colored blood unceasingly flowing out of its wound. Breathing heavily, Long Hao Chen used the Light Sword to support his own body. Despite the fact that Little Light had healed him twice using [Curing Light], he had taken all of the Dark Green Dual ded Demons attacks. An intense pain was filling all his body, and he had even internal injuries. After he murmured a long spell incantation, gold-colored ripples of light appeared on his body and a golden cross appeared at the top of his head. It was [Holy Mantle], a fourth step Guardian Knight skill. In the previous battle, Long Hao Chen had not used this ability because the attack power of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon was just too violent. A rich divine aura entered his unsteadily shaking body, arousing LHCs internal spiritual energy as a scorching hot feeling filled itpletely. Lin Jia Lu looked at Long Hao Chen as if she was looking at a monster and asked: You still have the internal spiritual energy left to use [Holy Mantle]? Really, how much spiritual energy do you have? From her point of view, after he used so many skills, there should be practically no spiritual energy left in him even if his spiritual energy was 2000, the amount Earth Knights had. However, seeing Long Hao Chens strength, it was obvious that he had not reached the step of Earth Knight yet. Long Hao Chen smiled reluctantly and told her: I have a method to consume less spiritual energy when using skills. Of course, he did not reveal his secret that rted to his physique of Scion of Light. With Li Xin and Chen Chen approaching, the five of them were gathered. Looking at each other in dismay, they showed expressions of fear. To them, this was the calm after the storm. Anyone could see that, among the five of the group, the only one who sustained injuries was Long Hao Chen. But what if he did not have his Saint Spiritual Stove? Except for Long Hao Chen who could use [Divine Obstruction], who among them could resist the attacks of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon? Even Li Xins Rose Unicorn could not resist these attacks! Chen Chen was usually less social, therefore his elder brother, Chen Si, was the one who generally took the initiative. However, this time, he was the one who extended his hand to Long Hao Chen, Take it. Long Hao Chen showed a faint smile. With the warm feeling caused by [Holy Mantle], he felt a lot better, but he would need at least three days to recover his full strength. Lets leave first before talking. Sis, take big sis Lin, we should hurry. Thinking of the possible dangers, they could not stay here any longer. Hao Yue, what are you doing? Long Hao Chen just remembered Hao Yue and called for him, but discovered that he was lying near the body of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, his two heads pushing against the head of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon and tearing its shell apart. From time to time, he would use some fire or light control magic. Pa. Hao Yues right w violently pped the Dark Green Dual ded Demons head from the side, and simultaneously, a crystal clear green thing suddenly fell out. Little Light grasped it in his mouth and, without any hesitation, swallowed it. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 65 - Demon Hunt’s Secrets (I)

Chapter 65: Demon Hunts Secrets (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Was that a magic crystal? Lin Jia Lu asked with a shocked expression. Li Xin suddenly said: Thats right! Demonized magical beasts have magic crystals, and furthermore, its a fifth step magic crystal. Hao Yue, youre a bad boy for having suddenly eaten it. That could have been sold for at least a thousand gold coins. What a waste! Lin Jia Lu groaned and spoke back: If I were to have apanion like him, I would be willing to let him be as wasteful as he wants. Hearing her words, Chen Si and Chen Chen both nodded and expressed their agreement. During the previous battle, Long Hao Chen was, without a doubt, the cornerstone of their little group and had the biggest contribution. Still, hispanion didnt slow him down: Hao Yues performance was stunning as well, especially his coordination with Long Hao Chen. Regardless of whether it was in regard to his healing, assistance, or attacks, he was worthy of praise and did not make the slightest mistake. The most enviable thing to Lin Jia Lu was that both of Hao Yues heads could use at least five or six kinds of magic! Even though it was only low level magic, generally speaking, for a magical beast that can innately use magic, two or three spells was already great. However, the middle ranked fourth step Hao Yue could already use so many kinds of magic, or control spell; even ordinary magical beasts of the fifth step had no way topete with him on this side. Hao Yue ate the magic crystal and eagerly ran to Long Hao Chens side, advancing while letting out _wuu wuu_ sounds. Little Light, who had just swallowed the magic crystal, lowered his head, showing a very human-like behaviour, as if he felt a bit embarrassed about what he did. Long Hao Chen gentlyughed. Crouching his body and ignoring the blood on both heads, he gently pat them, Its nothing, if its eaten, its eaten. You are still the most wonderfulpanions I could dream of. Lets leave quickly. Li Xin told him: Lil Bro, recover the corpse of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. It is said that a Dark Green Dual ded Demons shell can be used to make medicine; it should be profitable. She knew that Long Hao Chen had a spatial ring. Long Hao Chen nodded, Okay, I will store it, and we can split the profits amongst ourselves. I dont need it. Lin Jia Lu said without the slightest hesitation. Chen Si and Chen Chen nodded in session. Chen Chen retorted: Hao Chen, we cannot ept this, theres no way we would have survived if not for your presence. You are the one who protected us on top of being wounded the most. No matter what you say, these spoils of war should belong to you. Long Hao Chen advanced and stored the corpse of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon into the spatial ring before turning around and dering to everyone: How could I have killed it by myself? It is impossible. No matter who exerted themselves the most, we are currently a team. Lets head back before continuing this discussion, its time we set off. Li Xin carried Lin Jia Lu and the five people advanced at high speed towards the Temple Alliance. Even after 10 kilometers of walking, they did not encounter a single soldier chasing after them. Li Xin rode her Rose Unicorn at full speed with Lin Jia Lu sitting at her back, they took brought back two other horses, and Li Xin carried the wounded Long Hao Chen while Chen Si and his brother rode the horses. Like that, they were finally back under the shining sun at the Temple Alliances garrison. A group of people received them at the garrison. Because they were rted to the Demon Hunt Selection Competition, the captain was extremely polite to them and they were given a huge tent to rest inside. Currently, we have yed 22 demons, three less than the requirement. And, in my case, I am afraid that I will need three more days of rest to heal and recoverpletely. Long Hao Chen calmly said. After the cmity, they could finally rx. Everyone felt as if they lost the control of their body, including Li Xins and Lin Jia Lus who were resting inside the tent, leaning against its sides. Hao Yue was curled up under Long Hao Chens feet, his pair of heads using his tail as a pillow. Only Long Hao Chen, who was in a blood contract with him, could vaguely feel that Hao Yues body had undting energy inside, as if he was digesting the magic crystal he got from this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Chen Si reacted: Although we didnt sustain any injuries, we should at least rest until tomorrow to be in our optimal condition. Tomorrow will be the final day. It seems that demons are tougher opponents than we had expected. Lin Jia Lu dered without the slightest hesitation: I wouldnt suggest that we attempt to hunt for demons again, especially at this time, because we still do not know of what method theyre using to track us; making an attempt would be acting blindly. In case they find us once more, theres no saying what kind of monster those demons would send against us. Li Xin knit her brows, But our task has not been aplished yet. Lin Jia Lu took a deep breath and got to the point: Let me drop out. This time, if not for Long Hao Chen, I would not have made it back alive. After thest fight, I clearly understood that I amcking. Even if I obtain the qualifications to participate in this hugepetition, there is no way that I can obtain good results. Li Xin stared nkly at her, seeing her gentle expression. None of you have to withdraw, you have already passed the examination. An aged voice rang out. Holding his magical staff, an elder opened the door and entered. However, wasnt this elder their senior supervisor? Lin Jia Lu shot a meaningful nce to everyone else, and hurried to stand, body straight and politely saying: Senior supervisor. The elder waved his hands and pursued: Sit down, all of you. My name is Feng Yangmu, you may call me Teacher Feng. From now onwards, you are participants of the Demon Hunt Selection Competition and I will n everything rted to your participation. Compared to the first time they had met him, he was now a lot more gentle. His look was especially focused on Long Hao Chens body. Lin Jia Lu respectfully asked: Teacher Feng, you just said that we passed the qualifiers, right? Feng Yangmu nodded, Thats right, you have already passed the qualifiers. The five youths looked at each other in astonishment before simultaneously bing exuberant. Not having to enter the territory of the demon race again was clearly the best option. After they faced real demons for the first time, a fear of demons was instilled deep within them. Long Hao Chen hesitated, But we killed only 22 demons. Feng Yangmu looked at Long Hao Chen, smiled, and said: The numerical count doesnt represent everything. You killed a Dark Green Dual ded Demon. That was, in itself, enough to let you qualify for the Demon Hunt Selection Competition this year. The requirements were for you to kill five demons per person, but that was for demons below the fourth step. A fourth step demon is equivalent to five of them. In other words, when you killed the invisible demon from the Dyke n, the task was alreadypleted. When the Dark Green Dual ded Demon appeared, I was really afraid for you, but in order to test your strength, I never intervened. However, I didnt expect that you would really manage to kill it. Chen Si energetically brandished his fists, Very good. This time, we can leave together for the Temple Alliance to participate in the Selection. Feng Yangmu nodded, Right. You passed the examination, so you have the qualifications to know some details concerning the Demon Hunt Selection. Ill tell you, so you have to listen carefully because this will be all the aid I will give you in regard to your participation in the Demon Hunt. All of them shivered simultaneously. Sitting straight up, they concentrated all of their attention onto Feng Yangmus exnation. The demon hunt selection is apetition that takes ce every five years. Each middle sized town will dispatch a supervisor. When carrying out the entrance examination, he will be the one who will decide whether or not you are qualified to participate in the Selection Competition. Upon reaching the Temple Alliance, you will be divided into various temples before advancing to the preliminary contests. There are, altogether, a total of 127 seats that can be filled by the towns in our Temple Alliance. Each seat will be filled by the most outstanding youths dispatched to thepetition. As a result, each of the temples will hold a preliminary contest that is an extremely ruthlesspetition in itself. Particrly for the Knight Temple, the Warrior Temple, and the Mage Temple because these three Temples will have the mostpetitors. Now that I mention it, the other three temples have a lot lesspetitors, especially the Spiritual Temple. Thepetitors from that temple only need to undergo one or two rounds before entering the main stage. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 66 - Demon Hunt’s Secrets (II)

Chapter 66: Demon Hunts Secrets (II)

The preliminary contest will select the top ten from each Temple to participate in the finals. Also, everyone who passes through the preliminaries will have the right to be a new participant of the Demon Hunts. During the final stage, your ranking will help determine both your groupings for uing Demon Hunts as well as your rewards. 60 people will participate in the final stage and lots will be drawn to decide the matchups. Thus, luck will be an important factor for the finals. For example, assassins drawing a mage opponent or knights drawing an assassin can be considered strokes of luck. The sixty people will be ranked at the end: the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards. The top threepetitors can each select a teammate to be grouped with to precede the others during the next Demon Hunt roulette. Hearing that, Li Xin could not refrain herself from asking: Teacher Feng, what is the Demon Hunt roulette? Feng Yangmu faintly smiled and gave his reply: The Demon Hunt Selection, as its name implies, selects the youths that are the most suitable to join a Demon Hunt Squad. Each Demon Hunt Squad includes a powerhouse from each of the Six Great Temples, which is why 60 people are participating in the finals. How will they be divided? That is what the roulette selection of the Demon Hunt is here for; we let the Heavens decide how the teams will be formed. After all of the Demon Hunt Squads have been created, there will be another grandpetition to ultimately determine and reward the best Demon Hunt Squad of the year. Long Hao Chen asked: Teacher Feng, what is a Demon Hunt Squads task? The Demon Hunt Selection Competition organized by the Alliance is so grand, it must be extremely important, right? Feng Yangmu answered without the slightest hesitation: Of course. The Demon Hunt Squads can be said to be our most important force against the demon race. The Temple Alliance will give them various missions, almost all of them rted to demons. A powerful Demon Hunt Squad is arger threat to the demon race than a magnificent army of thousands of men and horses; it can even kill a Demon God. At the present time, there are over a hundred active Demon Hunt Squads acting as the main force of the Alliance against the demons. I wont say anything concerning the kinds of tasks that are carried out by the Demon Squads, but if, by chance, you manage to be one of the chosen ones, you will naturallye to know everything. You can consider what I am going to reveal to you next as a kind of reward. Outside of the various abilities typically taught by the Six Great Temples, there are other exclusive secret skills. For example, the [Divine Obstruction] of the Knight Alliance. At this point, he deliberately shot a nce at Long Hao Chen. These secret skills cannot be learned by ordinary members of the Temples. Even if they reach an incredible cultivation level, they will remain hidden to them. To learn these secret skills, one has two options. The first way is to receive an inheritance ring. Powerhouses that make incredible contributions to the Alliance can obtain the right to pass them on and teach these secret skills to their personal disciples. The second way is by exchanging contributions. When a Demon Hunt Squadpletes missions, they can exchange their contributions for goods stored up by the Alliance. These goods include various formidable pieces of equipment, secret skills, and so forth. Long Hao Chen had a sudden thought, he looked at the ck-colored ring that his father had left him. This must be an inheritance ring. No wonder father wasnt worried about others questioning my ability to use skills like [Divine Obstruction]. It looks like all inheritance rings have the same appearance. The ring on his hand contained most of his secrets. More precisely, all of the Retribution Knight skills, including the various secret skills, and even skills created by Long Xing Yu himself, were sealed in this ring. Long Hao Chen never cked on his Retribution Knight training. In his capacity as a Guardian Knight, he functioned as the core of the team and had a big role in the fight against the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Even if he did not have to conceal his ability as a Retribution Knight, and faced it directly with his two swords, he wouldnt have much confidence in winning, even if he was fighting it alone. But thanks to the fact he had hispanions by his side, it was possible for him to face this Dark Green Dual ded Demon, matching the opponent and giving it a hard time. Looking at the five ck-jawed youths before him, Feng Yangmu calmly smiled and said: Isnt it a bit too early to think about the rewards for your future achievements? Now then, I am going to tell you another secret rted to the Demon Hunt Selection. This secret should be enough to attract your attention. One of therger rewards for the final stage of thepetition will be three Spiritual Stoves. AH! Including Long Hao Chen, the five youths cried out in shock at the same time. What did the words Spiritual Stoves signify? Their power was clear just from looking at the way Long Hao Chen relied on his Saint Spiritual Stove to lead everyone safely. Even more astounding was that his Saint Spiritual Stove was only ranked 34th among the 36 kinds of Spiritual Stoves that knights could use. To any vocation, possessing a single spiritual stove is the equivalent of potentially bing a major powerhouse. They were the most valuable treasures in nature, and one was enough to change the whole life of a single person! Feng Yangmu felt all five children starting to breathe more heavily and smiled: Every participant has equal chances, but you will have to do your best! His words of encouragement clearly had an effect, as the five youths before him seemed to have already cheered up; their expressions were full of spirit. Feng Yangmu sighed to himself; ending up in the top 3 of the Selection Competition is easier said than done. Even though Long Hao Chen possessed, despite his rank, a Spiritual Stove and could use [Divine Obstruction], he still was not very likely to seed. However, he should be able to at least enter the final stage of thepetition. As for the others, I am afraid that Teacher Feng, I have a question for you. Long Hao Chen respectfully asked Feng Yangmu. Feng Yangmu answered: Please ask. Long Hao Chen said, When we previously entered the territory of the demon race at night, we were extremely careful. Why could the demons still discover us? Even the mighty [Eagles Eyes] cannot not see more than 50 kilometers. Feng Yangmu smiled, That is because you have never experienced a fight against the demons before. Among them is a kind of demon called Demonic Shadow. Their stealth capabilities are even higher than that of the Dyke nsmen. They can literally turn into a dark shadow. They are the demons scouts and only priests above the fourth step can detect them. Im pretty sure that you were discovered by a Demonic Shadow, and thats why you were raided by so many demons. Its fortunate that you managed to adapt yourselves quickly enough to the changes. At this point, Feng Yangmu stood up and said, Alright, please rest well. Tomorrow morning, we will start our journey and leave for the Temple Alliance to participate in the grandpetition. After sending off Feng Yangmu, the five youths fell on the ground,pletely exhausted; both Chen Si and Chen Chen were about to lie down and head off to dreand but were pulled by Long Hao Chen. You cannot fall asleep, we have to meditate after the battle. We have to reflect on the newbat experience we just acquired while strengthening our body and cultivating our internal and external spiritual energy; this is the perfect asion. To spend this time asleep is a waste of your life. Li Xin nodded, Hao Chen is right. If he insists on training despite the fact hes wounded, dont tell me we cannot do the same? As a result, despite being quite tired, the five of them started resting in a meditative posture. A silent night passed. On the morning of the second day, Long Hao Chen gradually awoke from his meditative state, his internal organs still aching as before. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon from the previous day was really too powerful. His all-out attack had a power that definitely surpassed the 3,500th spiritual energy level. Despite the healing effect he received from the [Holy Mantle], his internal organs injuries were recovering very slowly. To rely purely on the healing effect of the light element magic was not enough, and this injury would affect his physical capability. It really was a significant loss. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 67 - Demon Hunt’s Secrets (III)

Chapter 67: Demon Hunts Secrets (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Though his injury had not yet healed, Long Hao Chen was pleasantly surprised due to discovering that both his internal and external spiritual energy had increased by a noticeable amount. He was currently a Grand Knight of the eighth rank; the sum of his internal and external spiritual energy was above 1600. His external spiritual energy was at least at the 240th level. After the previous days struggles, his external spiritual energy had increased by approximately ten levels, while his internal spiritual energy had gained twenty levels. At the present time, he was almost a Grand Knight of the ninth rank. Facing a situation of life or death had awakened his potential. Omitting the intense fight he had against the invisible enemy from the Dyke n, the Dark Green Dual ded Demoning from the Zelin n had directed almost all of its attacks at Long Hao Chen, so his spiritual energys growth naturally increased at a substantial rate. Of course, this progress was only a rough estimation from Long Hao Chens point of view. Only after finally breaking through to the next step could he be sure of the actual progress made. Until then, he would have to go by his impression, with no way of distinguishing a concrete change in spiritual energys nature. The other four awakened in session, and right after, they looked pleasantly surprised. Each of them felt an increase in their level of cultivation. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they had breakfast. When the five people were ready to leave, Feng Yangmu appeared once more before them. Set off. Like when you werepleting the previous trial, I will be by your side. After he finished speaking, a blue light shone and Feng Yangmu could not be seen anywhere anymore. Li Xin stuck out her tongue, softly whispering: Does this Teacher Feng have the cultivation level of a Chief Mage of the sixth step? After the yesterdays bitter struggles, Lin Jia Lu and Li Xins rtionship had obviously improved. Lin Jia Lu calmly nodded, and answered: Teacher Feng is indeed a fourth ranked Chief Mage of the sixth step, an attendant of our Mage Temple. After the five thanked the people in the garrison, they immediately set off, Lin Jia Lu naturally riding Li Xins Rose Unicorn together with her, and as fast as lightning, they advanced towards the temple alliance in the northeast. In a circr room inside of an imposing dark-gold-colored hall, 16.5 meters tall. There was not a single window, and yet, an unusual gloomy light shone onto someones hair. It was a dim blue color, or more precisely, a dark blue brilliance. Golden lines were drawn on the ground, intertwining and forming a hexagram. Countless inscriptions extended from this hexagram throughout the hall. Whether it was the ground, the wall or the roof, everything was covered with these mysterious inscriptions. If Long Hao Chen could enter, he would definitely have recognized that these inscriptions were exactly the same as those drawn in the Knights Sacred Mountain, a mysticalnguage used in ancient times. The difference was that the mysticalnguage used here was dark-colored, unlike back at the Sacred Mountain where it was filled with an austere, bright atmosphere. These were entirely different from the ancient patterns written in a mysticalnguage in the Knights Sacred Mountains great array. These dark blue-colored inscriptions created a restrictive atmosphere, as if forbidding something. In the middle of the main hall, by the side of these hexagrams, a dagger quietly floated in mid-air. It had a pitch ck color without emitting any luster. If not for the surrounding dark-blue radiance, this dagger could basically not be perceived. There were no signs of spiritual energy, but this profound dark-colored item seemed topletely dominate the entire area, as if the blue-colored signs were only here to pay their respects toward it. Under this pitch ck colored dagger in the middle of the hexagrams, a person squatted. A youngdy. She was seated cross-legged. Her long purple-colored hair was spread out onto her shoulders, as if emitting ayer of dark-blue-colored light. She had pure white skin, but this white color seemed a little unhealthy. Her nose, eyes, lips, tongue and ears didnt look like those of a living person, but were closer to those of a statue. Her eyes slowly opened, and her pupils could be seen. They were entirely ash gray-colored, and her face looked empty of thoughts, just like a closed window. She was stunning enough to make any other woman sigh with envy. We should set off now. An ice cold voice sounded within the hall from all directions. En. A soft puff of air blew from that beautiful, statuesque young girls jade-like nose. She slowly stood up and turned in the direction of the ck dagger suspended in midair, raising her head to look up. A dim light shed, and the floating ck dagger suddenly dropped down, directly passing through the space between the young girls eyebrows, disappearing without a trace. In the next moment, all of the mystical inscriptions in the hall grew dim, quickly losing their dark blue radiance. Ten dayster. Aimei City. The most flourishing of the big cities belonging to the Temple Alliance. Because it was located within the Temple Alliance, thisrge city almost never suffered from the baptisms of war. The extent to which this city flourished was second only to the Temple Alliances Holy City. The distance from Aimei City to Holy City was only about 400 kilometers or so, and two days worth of fast-paced travel on horseback was enough to reach it. Long Hao Chen and his fourpanions had arrived at this bustling city early in the morning. Inparison with Aimei City, Hao Yue City was equivalent to the significance of a simple city block. However, ten days of rushed travel had exhausted Long Hao Chen and hispanions, and they were in no mood to appreciate this disparity. They first located a hotel to stay in, ate a good meal, and then returned to their respective rooms to take a warm bath. To loosen up and rx, nothing felt better than this. ording to the reported deadline, there were still four days left before the Demon Hunt Selection. Thus, the five decided to rest in Aimei city for a day, before setting out early in the morning the following day to continue their rushed travel. After a days rest, everyone became a lot morefortable. Long Hao Chen was currently in his room meditating, when a knock could be heard from the door. Hao Chen,e with Big Sis, lets go for a walk. Li Xins voice sounded through the door. Dispersing the internal spiritual energy revolving within him, Long Hao Chen slowly stood up. Coming. Following the growth brought through training, his bodys internal spiritual energy had already be considerably pure. Training whilebining the effects of the Spiritual Stove located at his chest and the mild golden radiance within him, his spiritual energy graduallypressed and showed signs of congealing. His internal spiritual energy condensing into liquid form would signify that he had crossed the boundary to be an Earth Knight. It would seem that he onlycked around three hundred units of spiritual energy. However, in truth, it was definitely not so easy to break through the gap between the fourth and fifth step. Sis, what are we going to do? Long Hao Chen opened the door to a casually dressed Li Xin leaning against the doorframe outside, sweetlyughing as she looked at him. Li Xin wrapped her arm around him, saying: Dont ask, juste with me. Hao Yue, you stay and watch the house. In a while, this big sis will buy dried fish for you to eat~. As she said this, she pulled Long Hao Chen out of the room. Little Light and Little me both swallowed their saliva and promptly leapt onto the bed, proceeding to sleep. Ever since Hao Yue had eaten that magic crystal, his daily sleeping duration had increased significantly. It was only these past few days that he had gotten a bit better. Reaching the hotels entrance, Long Hao Chen was surprised to find that Lin Jia Lu was already there waiting. Seeing him, sheughed faintly, and said: Lets go. You two, what exactly are we going to do? Long Hao Chen asked suspiciously. He could tell that both Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu had a goal in mind. Lin Jia Lu covered her mouth and giggled, saying: Havent you been wanting to sell the corpse of that dark green dual ded demon? Aimei City hosts a veryrge auction house, and that dark green dual ded demon can also be auctioned off with very little difficulty. Well go auction it off and then split the profit; your big sis also has some stuff she wants to buy. Eh. Long Hao Chen replied with disapproval. In his mind, training was clearly much more important. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 68 - Demon Hunt’s Secrets (IV)

Chapter 68: Demon Hunts Secrets (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Jia Lu said with a smile: Little boy, dont be dissatisfied. The auction house is a ce you will frequently visit in the future. Inside, we can find almost everything we may need. Of course, the first issue is whether or not you cane up with the money. If you can be the member of a Demon Hunt Squad in the future, you wille into contact with auction houses several times. Lets go and explore this ce, to avoid getting lost in the future. Li Xin nodded and simultaneously answered: Shes not wrong, a lot of good things can be found in the market district. In addition, the biggest auction houses within our Temple Alliance and belonging to the Holy Union have the backing of the Six Great Temples, and only the ten major cities have one. This Aimei City is among the first few built. The experience you acquire here will be good for you; in the future, whether to sell or buy goods, the Holy Unions Auction Houses will be the most suitable ces. Long Hao Chen asked: Then why is it that we didnt call the two Chen brothers? Lin Jia Lu answered: They dont have any goods to buy or sell, so there was no need for them toe. Now lets hurry up, I was informed that an auction is going to be held tonight. The biggest city Long Hao Chen had ever been to was Hao Yue City. In fact, since he had met his father, the absolute majority of his time had been spent training, and he had rarely interacted with the outside world. Now that he was 14 years old, he was naturally very curious in regard to all kinds of new things. In addition, both Long Xing Yu and Ye Hua told him that the strength of a person would increase by relying on external factors to boost it. For example, there were weapons, equipment and pills. At the very least, it was a very good thing to increase ones knowledge. Aimei Citys Auction House was located in the most bustling section of the city, in its center. An enormous white oval building could be seen in the distance. This enormous oval building was 6.5 kilometers away. It was a dome that seemed to be made of a special material; the twilight shone from the building and distributed its radiance upon itself. So huge. Long Hao Chen gave a somewhat dull look to this enormous building. The walls surrounding the auction house made people feel as if they were the walls of the city, that were extending endlessly. Li Jia Lu gave a smile: Aimei Citys Auction House is not thergest in the Holy Union: the Holy Citys Auction House, which is at least twice its size, can hold 20,000 people at the same time during auctions. This auction house, from my estimations, can hold roughly 10,000 people. Long Hao Chen was amazed and asked: With so many people at the same time during auctions, wouldnt the prices reach heavenly levels? Lin Jia Lu shook her head and gave him her answer: This is impossible. The prices during the auction are already considerable, so unless people really have an urgent need for some item, no one wastes their money during the auctions. The highest priority of the Holy Unions Auction Houses is not to collectmissions. Because they are big enough, all they rely on to make their profit is the entrance fee. Ordinary tickets cost a single coin, and the ticket price for seats that are nearer to the front are more expensive. The seats closer to the center of the auction site are said to cost a thousand gold coins each. Li Xin went to buy the tickets, and came back with three cards, giving one to both Long Hao Chen and Lin Jia Lu, and telling them: Lets go in. Hao Chen, we should have the corpse of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon appraised so that we can sell it today. As they entered the auction house, the first thing they saw was arge hall with a ssicyout. Going through, on both sides of the group there were high sales counters, each one containing at least ten guards. There were not only warriors among these guards but also several ones d in mage attire. Through Lin Jia Lus presentation, Long Hao Chen already knew that the counters on both sides were respectively for the appraisal of the goods and the retrieval of the gold gained through auction. To cope with the scattering streams of people, there were a total of eight counters of these kinds in this auction house. The auction house organized auctions daily, and as a result, the ce was constantly bustling with noise and excitement. The rtively wealthy went so far as to participate in the auction as a form of entertainment. After all, all kinds of items could be found here! Also, being informed had a lot of benefits. Li Xin brought Long Hao Chen to the left side to take a look at the articles on the sales counter. There werent a lot of people lined up here, so they quickly advanced in session. Hello, I want to auction the corpse of a magical beast belonging to the demon race. Long Hao Chen said directly to the middle-aged man behind the sales counter. The middle-aged man activated an unknown device as he raised his head to take a look: the walls in the sales counter were slowly changing shape, taking the form of a three meters wide tform. Please approach. The middle-aged man said indifferently. Thank you. Long Hao Chen poured his spiritual energy into his Forget-me-not ring, and a faint blue light glittered all around the ring. The Forget-me-not ring seemed to be alive, as it directly emitted a dark green-colored luster, while something rapidly appeared on the tform. Yi! The middle aged man behind the counter was bewildered, Dark Green Dual ded Demon. What a rare sight. As he spoke, he stood up, approaching the corpse of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon while carefully looking at it. After a short period of time, the middle aged man wrinkled his brows and said: Too bad, theres no magic crystal. Otherwise, it would have been twice the regr price. In this situation, the price will start at 800 gold coins. A Dark Green Dual ded Demon is umon, so it should not be directly bought. The middle-aged man handed a ck-colored tile to Long Hao Chen, with a magic crystal embedded in the center. Behind the crystal, there was a number, 26. When the auction is finished, please show us this as proof to receive your gold coins. Be careful not to lose this tile, we only identify by tile, not by person. 800 gold coins was the initial price, everyone could then only raise the bid by 100 gold coins. In Long Hao Chens eyes, this was a lot of money. It would be at least enough to feed Hao Yue dried fish. This little guy ate gradually more and more, which ended up consuming the majority of Long Hao Chens money. Wait a moment! Just as the middle aged man was about to put away the demons corpse, a rushed voice could suddenly be heard from Long Hao Chens back. Immediately, a person approached with quick steps. Please do not proceed yet. I want to directly purchase this item. Long Hao Chen looked at him, shocked by his appearance. This person was a youth that could not be much older than himself. At most 20 years old, he stood roughly half a head taller than Long Hao Chen. His deep green-colored hair reached his back, and even hung down as far as his waist. His skin was sparkling and translucent, milky white-colored. He looked almost as handsome as Long Hao Chen. Only, because of his long hair reaching his waist, he looked even more like a girl than Long Hao Chen. Fortunately, his Adams apple could still clearly be seen. The white-colored long gown of a mage covered his slender figure, and his build looked like a mages as well. Only, he was not carrying a magical staff in his hands. The most peculiar thing was this persons eyes. Faintly green-colored, they expressed a kind of yful and mischievous intent but they could easily make others feel like he was full of affection towards them. Simultaneously, he lowered his head, looking at the Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Seeing its fierce appearance, the facial expression of this young mage immediately changed. He looked absolutely bewitched, to the extent that he started to gently caress the shell of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. A good item, what a good item! I want it, little brother, please tell me your price. As he spoke, he straightened his waist, looking at Long Hao Chen, face to face. Clearly seeing Long Hao Chens appearance, this youth with a deep green-colored hair couldnt help but stare nkly at him, his eyes were shining, and he appeared absolutely amazed as he rumbled: How can there actually be someone even more handsome than me in this world? Its impossible. Puhu. Li Xin stood at the side, and couldnt help but fall inughter. This youth was handsome. Only, his character was as different to Long Hao Chen as ck and white. He was narcissistic, and was far beyondparison with Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chens face became rigid, as he said: I have already entrusted it to the Holy Unions auction house, so I am afraid that I cannot sell it to you directly. The youth continued to give a few nce to Long Hao Chen, his eyes filled with envy, Impossible, this is impossible! How can someone more handsome than me exist? As he spoke, his hands adjusted his deep green-colored long hair. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 69 - The Mysterious Stone Orb(I)

Chapter 69: The Mysterious Stone Orb(I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Hao Chen furrowed his brows and, without paying any attention to the youth with long hair in front of him, turned around and told both Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu: Big sisters, we should go. No, no, dont go. I really want to buy it, I will pay 2000 gold coins, how about it? The youth, seemingly full of remorse, hurried to speak. Hearing this number, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but halt his steps: saying that he did not care would be a lie. 2000 gold coins, this was more than twice as much as the starting price. It may even not be sold for the starting price during the auction. The middle-aged man with the auction house looked unconcerned, and said in a low voice to the long haired youth: Do not cause a scene and disturb the peace here, now hurry up and leave. The long haired youths mouth twitched, and he took out a ck card from his waist, handing it to the man: Brother, it seems like you are new here. You dont even recognize this master. The middle-aged man instantly reacted upon seeing this ck card, his face instantly bing stiff; he inspected the card in his hand very carefully, looking at it from different angles, before respectfully handing it back to the long haired youth. Respectable distinguished guest, you have the right to purchase this merchandise immediately, all you need is the sellers consent. The long haired youth looked extremely proud of himself as he took the card back, before turning once more to look at Long Hao Chen, saying: How about it, young junior? You see, I didnt vite any rules of this auction house. Sell it to me. It will be no lower than 2000 gold coins. I need the body of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon to use a part of it to make some medicine. Lin Jia Lu blurted out, amazed, Youre an alchemist? The long haired youths face grew dark, Who said that I was an alchemist? I am a mage, a very, very powerful mage. Making medicine is a mere hobby of mine. I will tell you that this great master is going to participate the Demon Hunt Selection Competition. Have you heard about demon hunts before? It is the sword of our Six Great Temples. As if he didnt hear his words, Long Hao Chen pointed at this green-colored Dual ded Demon, and said: 2000 gold coins? Sold to you. He was ice cold to him; his first impression of this babbling narcissistic was not good at all. Alright, alright. Take out your magic crystal card, Ill transfer the gold. Saying so, he waved his left hand, and a red light shed as the dark green Dual ded Demon disappeared in the blink of an eye. Long Hao Chen looked at him with astonished eyes. Clearly, this youth before him also possessed a storage type magical tool. I dont have a magic crystal card, Long Hao Chen shook his head and said. Just set up an ount then. You can do it here, at the front. Lets go, Im taking you there. The youth pointed at a counter on the other side. As he said this, he stretched out his hand and grasped Long Hao Chens shoulder amiably. Long Hao Chens shoulder instantly moved, shaking off the youths hand. The long-haired youth didnt mind, andughed: Hehe, dont be so cold. Look, weve both grown so handsomely and we are such a beautiful sight to behold. We should get to know each other more instead. Im called Lin Xin, whats your name? Long Hao Chen. A good name, a good name. Lin Xinughed openly and brought Long Hao Chen over to the other side to go set up a magic crystal card. Lin Jia Lu looked at Li Xin and warily said: Can it be that this fellow is a swindler? Li Xin answered in a low voice: Just watch him closely. As a mage, do you think he can just run off? The middle aged man behind the counter rolled his eyes, saying: You two misses, no need to worry like that. The ck card that that young master just took out is actually our Holy Union Auction Houses highest ranking VIP ck card. This kind of VIP card cannot be purchased under any circumstances, and can only be received as a gift. The people that possess this card, whenever they wish to purchase anything in our auction house, will receive a ten percent discount as preferential treatment. The ten percent difference will be covered by our auction house. Furthermore, at any auction house headed by the Holy Union, they can receive help covering expenses that exceed their budget within 100,000 gold coins. The two girls sucked in a breath of cold air, their expression immediately changing. Even with their background, they had actually never even heard of the existence of such an honored VIP status within the Holy Unions auction houses. Setting up a magic crystal card was more trouble than Long Hao Chen had thought. Furthermore, he needed to pay 100 gold coins up front. Where would Long Hao Chen have such arge amount of money? However, Lin Xin shed his card yet again, and the setup cost was annulled. The size of a magic crystal card was only about half a palm, and it was iid with four gems cut from the same gemstone. In the process of setting up the magic crystal card, one needed to funnel in their internal spiritual energy for it to be fully functional. As such, only people in the third step of their vocation could set one up. Every single persons spiritual energy had their own unique qualities, and when using a magic crystal card, it was necessary to input your own spiritual energy within it. Thus, no one would worry about losing a card or someone else taking it for their own use. Transferring money over was an even simpler matter. In the center of the magic crystal card, there was a specific area where one would simply stick a needle shaped rod with the sum of money written on it. Both parties would then input spiritual energy into the cards, and the two cards would dock together, resulting in a sessful transfer. Over a time period of about halfway through a lighted incense stick, Long Hao Chens magic crystal card had attained two thousand gold coins. Its been settled. Putting away his magic crystal card, Lin Xin patted Long Hao Chens shoulder, saying: This brother should be attending the auction. As I dont n on treating this as just an idental encounter, lets go attend it together. Come with big brother, and you can get a discount on the stuff you buy. After receiving two thousand gold coins, Long Hao Chens mood had gotten a lot better. Nodding, he answered: Then lets go together. Calling Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu over, the four people entered the auction house together. Entering the auction house, Long Hao Chen was immediately astonished by the scene before him. In the auction house, there were rows and rows of seats ced in a circle. Every five rows, the seats would be a different color. ording to Lin Jia Lus exnation, different colors signified different ticket prices. Seats closer to the inner area of the circle would be substantially more expensive. In the area closest to the center was a circle of soundproof booths. At the center of the auction house was a circr tform, which was obviously for the auctioneers to use as a means to sell goods. Once they had entered the auction house, Long Hao Chen immediately felt a dense umtion of magical elements assaulting his senses. Clearly, this ce implemented a good amount of magical instations. Our tickets are for the back row. Looking at the number te Li Xin had given him, Long Hao Chen turned and informed Lin Xin who was currently working his way towards the front of the auction hall. Lin Xin paused his steps, saying: Never mind. I have a booth in the front, and Im by myself anyway. The interior of the booth is very spacious, so how about you juste with me. Long Hao Chen hesitated a bit, only to have Lin Jia Lu gently nudge him and tell him to ept Lin Xins offer. In regard to this long-haired youth, Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu were both quite curious. One must know that alchemists were extremely rare, and their status was far beyond that of mages. Although this fellow didnt admit that he was an alchemist, he still stated that he had this kind of hobby. Furthermore, he possessed a ck card. To make friend with this kind of person was not a bad idea at all. Alright, Long Hao Chen obligingly answered him. Under Lin Xins guidance, they followed the stairs, heading down lower and lower. After reaching the booth area at the front, there were female professional attendants there to help serve them. These attendants all wore silver dresses and had slim figures with beautiful, elegant appearances. Master Lin, youvee. Seeing theme, a female attendant hastily approached Lin Xin and greeted him with a smile and a curtsy. Lin Xin spoke in a straightforward manner: Xiao Nuo, these few people are my friends. Take us over to the booth please. Yes. The youngdys gaze flitted over Long Hao Chens face and expressed slight astonishment. Lin Xins appearance could already be considered to be one of the most outstanding among males, but inparison with Long Hao Chen, he fell a bit short. With both of them standing side by side, Lin Xin would immediately bepared to Long Hao Chen. However, the female attendants were quite ssy here, and her vision only lingered for but a moment before she brought the four people across the red carpet to the interior of booth. , *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 70 - The Mysterious Stone Orb (II)

Chapter 70: The Mysterious Stone Orb (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin had the 6th booth, and its location was nearly perfect, directly facing the auction tform. The female attendant, whom he called Xiao Nuo, pushed open the door, allowing them to enter the booth. The booth had a surface of 100 square meters with a brown carpet lying on the floor; stepping on it gave afortable feeling. It was elegantly decorated; green nts were ced on both sides, and a semi-circr white sofa dominated the center of the room Even if ten or more people sat down, it still would not feel crowded. On the right side were transparent windows of crystal through which the auction tform could be clearly seen. On the small table in front of the sofa were various kinds of fruits and desserts. Lin Xin started to speak: Brother Long, you two beautiful women, please sit, please sit. Xiao Nuo, bring two bottles of Sweet Nectar Red Devil. Right away. Xiao Nuo revealed a sweet smile, and left while closing the door. Lin Xin sat beside Long Hao Chen, and told him: Brother Long, do you still have other magical beasts to sell? It doesnt matter whether they are dead or alive. Its too hard nowadays to find magical beasts like your Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Truthfully, I needed it very urgently this time. Long Hao Chen shook his head, giving his reply: I only had this mutated-magical beast from the demon race to sell. What do you need the body of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon for? In regard to alchemy, he was very curious. Lin Xin faintlyughed, and said: Take a look. With a red glint, a crystal vial appeared, and three scarlet red pills could be seen through the crystal. These are energy pills I made. One of the main materials is the powder milled from the shell of a Dark Green Dual ded Demon. It is an excellent item! Long Hao Chen was surprised, Energy pill? What is it used for? Can it increase external spiritual energy? Lin Xin mysteriously shook his head, and answered: You will know in just a few minutes. The auction is about to start, lets watch. Xiao Nuo entered the booth once more, with two bottles of fruit wine. She ced them down, before calmly pouring a cup for each person. Clearly, it was the Sweet Nectar Red Devil that Lin Xin had spoken of a little earlier. Taste it, this thing is not bad, its a specialty in the south. After he lifted and drank a cup, his eyes turned towards the auction tform. Long Hao Chen lifted a cup as well, but as soon as he drank a gulp, bitterness hit his tongue, and a heavily scented fruit tastepletely filled his mouth, spreading its vor all around. An overly warm feeling entered his stomach, before quickly spreading throughout the rest of his body. Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu sat on the side, looking at Lin Xin and Long Hao Chen conversing. After drinking a single gulp of this Sweet Nectar Red Devil, their looks changedpletely. It had been the first time Long Hao Chen had seen this sort of fruit wine, however this wasnt the case for the two girls. Lin Jia Lus father had a bottle in his collection, and kept it as a treasure that he was unwilling to drink. This Sweet Nectar Red Devil was said to be made using the sweet nectar of a type of rose flower, after it had been passed through 99 processes; only 20 bottles were produced every year. Lin Xin had actually gone as far as to take out such a treasure to entertain them. In fact, the cup of Sweet Nectar Red Devil in their hand had cost even more than the Dark Green Dual ded Demon Long Hao Chen just sold. This fellow was really too wealthy. On the auction tform, a beautiful woman led the auction. At this moment, the number of people seated outside had increased by at least fifty percent. The auctioneer was gorgeous. Dressed in a long pure-red-colored skirt, tall and well developed with her long ck hair fluttering behind. She gave the feeling of someone capable and experienced. Walking to the center of the tform, she lifted up both her arms, and slightly bowed. Her gentle and beautiful voice was extremely pleasant to listen to, To all guestsing from Aimei City, Wee to this auction house of the Holy Union. My name is Xing Xuan and I am pleased to serve each of our honoured guests present today. Cheering voices resounded, and whistling sounds could be heard everywhere. Clearly, this auctioneer was very weing. Now, lets see our first article. The auctioneer didnt excessively stir up the crowd with her speech, but rather directly acimed and saluted the participants before directly entering the main event. Seated beside Long Hao Chen was Lin Xin, his eyespletely flowery, Sister Xing Xuan is still so beautiful, shes truly ssy! If not for the fact that I am only 18 years-old, I would definitely try to woo her. Little brother Long, what do you think of her? Beautiful, isnt she? Mh. Long Hao Chen lowered his head, flustered. Another attendant, dressed simrly to Xiao Nuo, appeared, approaching the tform while pushing a cart containing something covered by a red cloth. Xing Xuan smiled and said: We think everyone here has guessed which article we will be auctioning first; it is in fact the goods of our mysterious master Lin. A lot of people have been asking me how they can buy master Lins pills. Now, I will give you all the answer. Master Lin is working together with our auction house and selling all of his pills through us. It means you wont be able find these anywhere else. Long Hao Chen almost immediately looked at Lin Xin next to him, Is she speaking about you? Lin Xin answered quite proudly: I am precisely this master Lin! Being young is truly great! Outside, even if I say that I am the one who made this pill, no one will believe me. But this is for the best, it would be too troublesome if my identity were to be known after all. Long Hao Chen was quite surprised, Are you saying that you arent worried that I might tell others? Weve just met after all. Lin Xin, full of mysteries, smiled: Of course Im not worried. Lets take a look at the auction. The red cloth was uncovered, and a beautiful bottle made of crystal appeared on the golden cart. The view from the booth was quite good, and Long Hao Chen could see with a nce that this crystal bottle contained a red pill, exactly the same energy pill as the ones Lin Xin had shown him earlier. However, this bottle only contained one of them. This is an item produced by master Lin, the Jade Body Protection Pill: a pill at the peak of the third steps level. After using it, for a quarter of an hour, the external spiritual energy dedicated to the bodys defense will be increased by 500 units. The skin of the user will became as hard as steel, and it will improve physical attacks as well as magical ones. This is not the first time the Jade Body Protection Pill has been up for sale, so I wont say much to introduce it. In the battlefield, possessing a pill of this kind is almost equivalent to having another life. The starting price will be a thousand gold coins. Each bid must be at least 50 gold coins higher than the previous. The external spiritual energy dedicated to the bodys defense could be increased by 500 units? Even if this amplified spiritual energy couldnt be used to attack, what did 500 extra units of external spiritual energy imply? It implied that almost any attack of the fourth step or lower could be rendered ineffective. To top it off, this effectsted for a quarter of an hour. Long Hao Chen was somewhat affected but Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu werepletely astonished. The value of such a little pill, was a thousand gold coins! No wonder magical alchemy was known as the most lucrative vocation. This master Lin was truly extraordinary. Quickly, bids were called one after another, and after a moment, the price of this Jade Body Protection Pill reached 1500 gold coins. Long Hao Chens heartbeat quickened; this auctioneer Xing Xuan was right. By having such a pill, as long as he wasnt facing powerful enemies above the fourth step, it was equivalent to having another life. Essentially, if he had had one of these pills when he faced the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, he wouldnt have ended up so wounded. Ultimately, the pill was auctioned for the price of 1800 gold coins. Lin Xin seemed unsatisfied of this price, Only 1800? It was sold for 2000st time. It looks like I should sell less of this product to increase the value. This master shouldnt spread them like beans, making them easier to get. Brother Long, would you like to make a deal with me? Long Hao Chens heart skipped a bit, What kind of deal? Lin Xin revealed a smile and took out a crystal bottle with three Jade Body Protection Pills, progressively reaching it out towards Long Hao Chen, exining: You only need to answer a question, and these Jade Body Protection Pills are for you. , 1. refers to the fact the Dark Green Dual ded Demon is actually a mutated magical beast *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 71 - The Mysterious Stone Orb (III)

Chapter 71: The Mysterious Stone Orb (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Hao Chen looked at him,pletely astonished. Each pill had a value of at least 1800 gold coins. Three pills were worth more than 5000 gold coins. What kind of answer could be so expensive? Li Xin said with a yful tone, No need to act so surprised. This thing is quite expensive to purchase, but for me, the cost of production only amounts to a few dozen gold coins. Do you know how many of them I could make with a single Dark Green Dual ded Demon? So many that I wouldnt dare announce it. Even making 180 of these pills is doable for me. In fear that Long Hao Chen might be getting swindled, Li Xin immediately said Tell us first what your question is and even if we can answer it, we reserve the option to withhold our answer. Lin Xin gentlyughed, Its a simple question. You will definitely be able to answer it. All I want to know is whether or not you were the ones to kill this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Li Xin was speechless, Such a simple question? Lin Xin unfolded his both arms and answered, What if it is so simple? Whats up with that, we are the ones who killed it. Lin Xin raised his hand and threw the crystal bottle into Long Hao Chens hand, as he said, Alright, as promised. Long Hao Chen didnt dare believe his own ears, Lin Xin, this is too valuable, I cannot ept it. It was worth 5000 gold coins! Up till now, he had never even seen so much money. Lin Xin rubbed his own forehead with a look of helplessness, Little brother Long, this is a mere deal. I didnt give it to you and gain nothing in the exchange. In addition, I have another request for you. Long Hao Chen was a pure and kind-hearted boy, so when taking such precious items, although he was happy deep inside, he still couldnt bring himself to ept it, What? Lin Xin showed a humble smile and hardened his chest as he said: If I am not guessing wrong, you must be heading to the Holy City to participate the Demon Hunt Selection Competition, right? Li Xin said, astonished, How did you guess? Lin Xin exined, Its not too hard to guess. From the south, those heading to the Holy City must pass through Aimei City. Your youthbined with the reply to my previous question are both proof that youre qualified to participate in the Selection. How could it be more clear? The main reason why I said I wasnt afraid of you revealing that I am master Lin was simply that no one would believe that someone of my age can make pills of the third step. The other reason was that there was no way you would stay in Aimei City for long, since you will immediately be leaving for the Holy City to participate to the Selection. Am I right? Li Xins brows were raising, What? Do you want us to fight in regard to thepetition earlier than scheduled? Lin Xin hurried to shake his head and replied, How can it be! I just want us to cooperate. Little brother Long, my request to you wont harm you in any way. I only wish that if during the Demon Hunt Selection, the two of us enter the final stage and you ultimately enter the top-three, you choose me as a member of your squad. Hearing him say that, Lin Jia Lu could no longer control herself, Why should he choose you? I am a mage as well! ording to the rules of the demon squads, each team of six had to include six people from different great temples. In other words, a demon squad could only have a single mage. Lin Xing said, Older sister, I will only say the truth; from my point of view, considering your cultivation level, I am afraid that entering the final stage of thepetition will be a little hard to you! Lin Jia Lu was startled, Can you see my cultivation level? Lin Xin smiled faintly, and said, This is my little secret. Little brother Long, how about it, will you make this promise? If you only ept my request, we will be a pair of good brothers in the future, and without hesitation, I will supply pills for you, free of charge. Honestly, I dont have much for myself, beyond pills and money. He was quite handsome, but his current face looked more like that of a big bad wolf, eyeing a small, white rabbit with evil intent. Long Hao Chen looked full of doubt, as he replied: But how can you be so sure that I will enter the top 3? Lin Xin said, I am betting on you. Even if you dont, I wont be harmed. Making this promise will be no trouble for you either, and in addition, you can receive my three energy pills with no qualms about them. Suddenly, Long Hao Chens body violently shook, and all of a sudden, a purple golden colored symbol appeared and shone on his forehead. The symbol was quite unusual, as it initially appeared with purple golden-color but quickly spread out, forming nine purple-colored shining symbols. Each was a third of a meter long, and faint traces of spiritual energy fluctuation could be seen above. The purple-colored faint light scattered, and with a sh, a figure appeared in front of Long Hao Chen. It was Hao Yue. At this moment, Hao Yue was in a clearly abnormal state, as he continuously stuck to Long Hao Chens body while letting out some _Wuu Wuu_ sounds, as though he was trying to convey something. Besides Long Hao Chen who couldmunicate with him via telepathy, other people couldnt understand Hao Yues words, Hao Yue, calm down, I will try my best for you. As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the auction tform. At this moment, another cart reced the previous one on the auction tform. An enormous stone orby atop the golden cart. He could vaguely see that this stone orb was covered with several dark green-colored veins. The host, Xing Xuan, still standing on the tform, was introducing the item. The following auctioned article is somewhat special: even our best appraiser was unable to identify it. But the seller wanted us to sell it at the starting price of 10,000 gold coins. Our auction houses doctrine is to be impartial and not let our guests be extorted the single gold coins, so our chief appraiser is going evaluate this article. Looking at it, it seems that this article has nothing special, it just looks like an ordinary stone orb. No traces of magic can be discerned inside. In addition, the interior of this orb ispletely isted. No one, not even a powerhouse at the ninth step could know what is hidden inside unless he splits open the surface of this orb. The only thing we can be sure about is that there are some fluctuations of spiritual energy inside. The patterns appearing on the surface are due to this fluctuating spiritual energy. However, this chief appraiser can predict that an unusual metal is very likely to be present inside. That said, it may be somethingpletely different. Everyone, let the auction start, you may rise the price from ten thousand gold coins, but each of you, think carefully, because after the product is sold, we wont take it back. Without a doubt, because this item didnt really stand out, and because the starting price was so high, this auctioneer Xing Xuan was trying to make it seem better than it actually was. In reality, it was obvious that they did not look favorably on this item. Ten thousand gold coins. It was really ten thousand gold coins! At this moment, Long Hao Chen was internally struggling. When Hao Yue appeared, it was not because Long Hao Chen summoned him, but rather Hao Yue whounched the summon. This kind of instance already far exceeded the limits of their contract of equals, and was evidently the effect of the blood contract. Hao Yue appeared right when the stone orb was being pushed onto the auctioneering tform and sent signals of urgency towards Hao Chen. It seemed that this stone orb was quite important to him. Because their bloodstreams were interlinked, what Long Hao Chen saw, Hao Yue could sense it as well, even if he was not beside him. Thus, as soon as he came to the booth, he immediately started jumping up and down, obviously desiring that stone orb. Exorbitant! Too exorbitant. Looking at Little Light and Little mes eyes and their unyielding, dogged expression, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but feel a sense of helplessness. He had just received 2000 gold coins but he had to split them up evenly with the others. Where would he have 10,000 gold coins to buy this item! Long Hao Chen stared at the stone orb on the tform, but Lin Xin was instead focused on Hao Yue. When Hao Yue had appeared, Lin Xins face had expressed astonishment. He had seen so many species of magical beasts, even rare ones, but he had never before seen one like Hao Yue. Previously, Lin Xin had paid a high price to purchase the magic skill, [Identification Method]. Relying on this magic, he could detect the circumstances of any one, regardless of his vocation, and even if it was a magical beast. The only prerequisite was that the level of the target investigated could not exceed his own. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 72 - The Mysterious Stone Orb (IV)

Chapter 72: The Mysterious Stone Orb (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Clearly, Hao Yue was at most a fourth ranked magical beast, and not even at the peak of the fourth rank, which was equivalent to a human fighter of the third step. And yet his [Identification Method] had failed. Furthermore, it was not the first time the skill had failed today. Why was he trying so hard to get close to Long Hao Chen? He had specifically used the [Identification Method] to investigate Long Hao Chen, but beyond his current strength and age, there wasnt anything else he could find. It was the reason why he was so interested in Long Hao Chen. How strange. What kind of magical beast could Hao Yue be? Lin Xins heart was full of doubts. At this moment, outside the booth, the whole audience became silent. Ten thousand gold coins was not a small amount by any means. One must know that a single gold coin was enough to feed a family of three for a month, and ten gold coins was enough to buy ordinary armor. Ten thousand gold coins was sufficient to arm a regiment of a hundred knights down to the teeth. Certainly, this stone orb had the possibility of containing a rare metal, but how many rare metals could have such a high value? Furthermore, heaven knows how big the piece of metal was. If it was only fist-sized, even if it was a magical metal like mithril, it still wouldnt be worth much. Xing Xuan had already asked for the third time: Are there any distinguished customers who are interested in this item? As before, there were no responses. The people who normally attended the auction were rarely impetuous. If the price was one hundred gold coins, there might have been someone who would take the gamble and just buy it. However, for ten thousand gold coins, few would risk the purchase. Brother Lin. Long Hao Chen suddenly called out. Seeing Hao Yues exceedingly hopeful look, he finally made a decision. Ah? Lin Xin was still in the midst of pondering over Hao Yues origins, and he only reacted after being called. Brother Lin, if you are willing to lend me money to buy the item before our eyes, I will fulfill your request, Long Hao Chen said in a voice like iron. You dont need to borrow money from him, Big Sister will buy it for you. Lin Jia Lu, who had been silent for quite some time suddenly spoke up. Furthermore, she hastily stepped forward and swiftly pressed the number, ten thousand, on the auctions apparatus. On the auctioneering tform. Xing Xuan said a bit apologetically: It seems that article number two will have to be put away. Ah! Wait a second, the VIP of booth number 6 has offered a price of ten thousand gold coins. Ten thousand gold coins going once. Seeing that someone had put forth a price, she immediately became pleased. However, once she saw that it was booth number 6 that had given a price, she couldnt help but knit her eyebrows together and shoot Lin Xins booth a reproachful nce. The booths water crystal ss was a special kind of manufactured material. From the outside, one could not see inside. Only from the interior could one see outside. Outside, there was a hugemotion in the auction area and no small amount of jeering could be heard. But what they didnt know was that within booth number 6, there was a person presently shrieking. The person shrieking was exactly Lin Xin. This sister, you cant do this! Brother Long already proposed to borrow money from me, how can you just snatch away this opportunity? Lin Xins face was all gloomy. Lin Jia Lu giggled sweetly and said: Hao Chen is my little brother. Isnt it normal for a big sister to buy things for his little brother? Long Hao Chen was scared out of his wits, Big Sister Lin, how is this eptable. The price is ten thousand gold coins! Lin Jia Lu stood up and walked towards Long Hao Chens side. Her expression was gentle as she said: Hao Chen, if you were at least twenty years old, this big sister would have no qualms and would definitely snatch you up. Even if I would wrong Xiner, it still wouldnt be a bad choice. Its a pity that the gap between our ages is far too wide, and I can only be your big sister. I will never forget the events of that day when twice, a whole two times, you saved my life. The second time especially; as I had already caught the scent of the Grim Reaper, it was you who pulled me from the brink of death. If you dont give big sister a chance to repay you, then big sisters heart will never be at peace. Big Sister Lin, I Long Hao Chen still wanted to decline her offer, but Lin Jia Lu had already raised her hand to press over his mouth, Dont say anything more. Do you really think that Big Sisters life is not even worth ten thousand gold coins? Ive already consulted with your Big Sister Xiner, and she also agreed. If you are unwilling to ept, then in the future, dont even think about calling me big sister. Ever since the day when they finished their training mission, nearly every night, Lin Jia Lu had been awoken by nightmares. She could never forget the moment when the member of the Dyke n had pressed an icy, sharp de against her throat. Her saving grace was Long Hao Chen! If Long Hao Chen hadnt been there, she would have died without a doubt. She was a person who knew gratitude. These past few days, her rtionship with Li Xin had also gotten a lot better. Originally, there hadnt been the slightest hint of anything keeping them from singing the same tune. After opening up about their past incident, they had gone back to being old friends. She had the idea of going to Aimei Citys auction house to buy something for Long Hao Chen several days ago. It was a big auction house, and the amount of goods werentcking. She believed that buying something useful for Long Hao Chen right before the Demon Hunt Selection would be the best way to pay him back. Long Hao Chen took a deep breath, and finally nodded his head, saying: Big Sister, thank you. Extremely pleased, Lin Jia Lu rubbed his head, saying: This, is big sisters good little brother. Li Xin said a bit jealously: Hmph, Im going to earn a lot of money in the future as well. Third time, sold. This mysterious stone orb goes to the distinguished customer in booth number 6. From outside, Xing Xuans voice floated through. With nobody making a sudden bid, it was finally sold for ten thousand gold coins. Lin Xin said gloomily: Brother Long, keep looking. If there is anything that catches your eyes, let me know. Ill gift it to you as long as you agree to my request. Long Hao Chenughed faintly and shook his head, saying, I dont have anything else I want. However, I will still consider your proposal. But remember, we have to enter the final rounds of the Demon Hunt Selection to make that possible, no? At this point in time, Hao Yue had finally calmed down. The thirst in his eyes, however, did not decrease, rather, it actually increased. Leaning on Long Hao Chens foot, Little Light and Little me rubbed unceasingly against his leg. Lin Xin sat there as if pondering something. Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door. The door opened, and the youngdy Xiao Nuo entered, pushing the golden cart that was previously on the auctioning tform. On top of ity the mysterious stone orb. Seeing the stone orb, Hao Yue almost directly threw himself at it. Only when Long Hao Chen gave him a look did he show some restraint, but his body was still slightly trembling. Ever since they had left the Knights Sacred Mountain, it was the first time Long Hao Chen had seen him so excited. To Long Hao Chen, ten thousand gold coins was an astronomical sum. The money Lin Jia Lu had taken out was a favor he would firmly keep in mind, and one that he would definitely pay back to her in the future. If it was someone else, they would definitely not be so willing to buy the stone orb. Ones money wasnt something that ought to be wasted just because of a magical beastpanions sudden costly urges. But Long Hao Chen was different; Hao Yue was very dear to him. They shared a blood contract, and the blood of the other flowed in each of their own bodies. Long Hao Chen almost considered him as his own little brother. Seeing Hao Yue so eager, he decided to trust the intuition of this little brother, and had resolved to buy the stone orb. He was also firmly convinced that he would definitely be able to earn this amount of ten thousand gold coins in the future. Lin Jia Lu advanced and took out her own magical card to wholly pay. After Xiao Nuo pushed the cart in, she had originally wanted to make some conversation with Lin Xin. However, upon seeing him seated and pondering deeply, she leftpletely baffled. Xiao Nuo had never seen Master Lin without a smile on his face. Long Hao Chen didnt directly hand the stone orb to Hao Yue. Instead, he stored it in his ring forget-me-not. Lin Xin was an outsider, after all. Regardless of whether or not this stone orb was a special item, this auction house clearly wasnt a suitable ce to disy it. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 73 - Violent Priest (I)

Chapter 73: Violent Priest (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales _Pa._ Lin Xin abruptly pped his thigh, Ive taken a gamble. He seemed resolute as he raised his head and looked at Long Hao Chen, telling him: Little brother Long, although it is the first time we meet, I believe in my foresight, and I will bet on you. Long Hao Chen shook his head and replied: Lin Xin, I dont gamble. Lin Xin shook his head, and said: I dont want you to bet with me, I want to bet with myself. Here are three bottles of pills, take them. There are instructions in each bottle. As he spoke, his hand twinkled with a red light, and three bottles of pills appeared in his hands. They were all bottles made of crystal and in each bottle, there were 10 pills about the size of a soybean. In terms of color, however, they had nothing inmon. Long Hao Chen didnt directly retrieve these three bottles, he looked at Lin Xin with an inquiring look. Lin Xin let out a small sigh, and said: Little brother, these pills are not for free. I will say it once more, I want you to agree to the request I made earlier. Give me your promise. Long Hao Chen was shocked and looked at him, Your pills are so valuable, but for a mere promise, you Lin Xin faintlyughed: Thats why its a bet. I believe in my intuition, furthermore, if I really win this bet, I will be the one to profit. Of the things I produce, these are the ones I am most proud of. Its even better than the energy pill to some extent. Furthermore, theyve never been avable for sale. In regards to manufacturing pills, I have confidence in my abilities. Truthfully speaking, I dont really want to be an alchemist. My lifes biggest goal is to walk and explore the whole continent, to discover mysterious relics and ancient remains. In order to fulfill this goal, my greatest chance would be to be a member of a demon hunt squad. I have a natural talent towards manufacturing alchemic medicine but in regards to magic, Im quitecking. Im strong with auxiliary type spells, but with offensive spells, I am inadequate. Thus, even if I possess an abundant amount of magic power, I cannot put forth sufficient power when battling. This time Ive registered for the Demon Hunt Selection, and within the Mage Temple, I am confident in my ability to pass the qualifiers. However, concerning the final rounds between the six great temples, Im afraid I cant guarantee anything. Especially because my fighting power is insufficient, I need a strong squad. If you can be one of the top three in the finals, then youll have the opportunity to choose me as one of the members of your squad. You only need to promise to give me that chance and these three bottles of pills will be yours. In the case that you cannot enter the top three, then just consider it as if Ive wagered wrong. I can kind of glimpse at your level of strength. Relying on your level of training, Im afraid rushing to the top three will be a difficult task. But, when you factor in the pills I give you, the chances are no longer the same. It might really be that youd have a chance. Brother Long, how about both of us give each other a chance? Right at this moment, Hao Yue ambled over. After Long Hao Chen stored the stone ball into his forget-me-not ring, his mood had calmed quite a bit. In a very human like manner, he rose up on his hind legs and pushed his nose towards the three bottles in Lin Xins hand to take a whiff. After doing so, he turned to Long Hao Chen and nodded. At this instant, a thought sent from Hao Yue appeared within Long Hao Chens heart, This person has no malicious intent. You can trust him. What Hao Yue transmitted to Long Hao Chen was a type of feeling. Long Hao Chen didnt know where it hade from. However, when he was on the battlefield, out of the two times Long Hao Chen had noticed the enemies intent of ambush, when they had detected the Dyke n member during the second battle, it was actually due to Hao Yue. Long Hao Chen was actually slower than him at discovering the enemys presence. Alright, I ept your proposal. Long Hao Chen took the three bottles in Lin Xins hands as he answered solemnly. In reality, this decision was painful to make for Lin Xin. He was well aware of the value of these three bottles of pills: they were nearly equivalent to a third of his savings. The reason he made this decision was due to that intuition of his. What convinced him was foremost the mystery surrounding Long Hao Chen and Hao Yue. The second, was Long Hao Chens personality. Only after using once more his [Identification Method] did he make this decision to gamble. There might be an existence stronger than Long Hao Chen who would also attend the Demon Hunt Selection. However, after utilizing the [Identification Method] so many times, Lin Xin finally realized that there was a mysterious Spiritual Stove within Long Hao Chens body. To a mage of the same squad, a guardian knight who possessed a Spiritual Stove could be considered to be his lifeline! Furthermore, in such a short period of time, Lin Xin could not possibly find another elite from one of the great temples to cooperate with. Of course, Lin Xin also had his crafty aspects. He hadtched onto an important point, Long Hao Chens age. Participants of the Demon Hunt Selection had to be 25 years of age or younger. Even if Lin Xin couldnt make it this time, how about five yearster? Long Hao Chen was already at the fourth step. What level could he reach in five years? At that point in time, to take a risk as for whether he would be one of the top three would most likely no longer be a problem. Furthermore, Lin Xin himself was only eighteen years old. Five yearster, he would still be within the age range to be eligible for the Demon Hunt Selection. However, at present, he did not know what his decision entailed. In his lifetime, Lin Xin had produced countless pills. However, the ones that were worth the most on the market were in these three bottles. When he had made his final decision, Lady Luck was already on his side. The auction outside continued without ado. None of thetter items werecking in quality, but nobody was still interested in watching. As such, they excused themselves in advance and left the Holy Unions auction house. Brother Long, I guess well meet at the Holy Union then. Lets both do our best. Lin Xin didnt linger much longer, and using his two hands to slightly brush his long, green hair behind his back, he showed Long Hao Chen a handsome smile and turned to leave. Looking at his receding figure, Li Xin said in an using manner: Little Bro, you were a bit too rash. We dont even know what kind of person he is! Long Hao Chenughed lightly, saying: He shouldnt be a bad person. Hao Yue told me by intuition that I could trust him. Little Light and Little me nodded then bit and pulled on the hem of Long Hao Chens pants. Clearly, they were still thinking about this mysterious stone orb. Li Xin and Lin Jia Lu shared a look and didnt say anything further. After all, this Lin Xin was still an alchemist; it was not bad for Long Hao Chen to befriend this kind of person. Returning to the hotel, Long Hao Chen had barely closed the door when Hao Yue could not refrain himself from hopping up and down. Long Hao Chen sighed helplessly: You are so impatient.. As he spoke, a soft and thin golden radiance was being emitted from his body, his [Divine Light Mantle]. Immediately, this [Divine Light Mantle] enveloped the rooms interior. In regards to defense, [Divine Light Mantle] wasnt that great. But its soundproof characteristic as well as the powerful aura emitted were extremely practical. Afterpleting the [Divine Light Mantle], Long Hao Chen took out the stone orb from his forget-me-not ring, handing it to Hao Yue. Little Light and Little Fire exchanged a look, and suddenly, Little Light opened his mouth wide and swallowed the stone orb with a single gulp. One must know that this stone orb was the size of a human head. Although Hao Yue was two meters tall, his heads werent so big. Upon swallowing such a big stone orb so abruptly, Little Lights neck protruded out, and, with difficulty, the stone orb gradually entered his belly. You ate it just like that? Long Hao Chen gave a startled look to Little Light and Little me. Wuuwuu, wuuwuuwuuwuu Little Fire let out whimpering noises at Long Hao Chen. Although they werent able to speak, they could still transmit their thoughts to Long Hao Chen through their blood contract. Long Hao Chens heart was abruptly startled, What? You want to go back to your original world? *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 74 - Violent Priest (II)

Chapter 74: Violent Priest (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Little Fire transmitted this message to Long Hao Chen, saying that he wouldnt be back for a long time, nor could he be summoned. As for how long it wouldst, they did not even know. Ever since Hao Yue had arrived at Long Hao Chens side, he had never once thought about going back to his original world. But at this moment, clearly, the stone orb had caused some changes to appear within him, creating this necessity. Looking at them, Long Hao Chen nodded, but seemed quite reluctant to part,and replied: It seems that this stone orb was really quite important to you. Since things are this way, you should head back. Dont worry about me, I wont encounter any kind of danger during the Demon Hunt Selections qualifiers. In reality, since he was preparing himself to participate in the greatpetition, it was precisely now that Long Hao Chen needed Hao Yue the most; even though their cultivation level wasnt very high, Little Light and Little Fire could use a variety of magical spells and had perfect coordination with Long Hao Chen in fights. Their impact was no small matter. But Long Hao Chen didnt want to drag Little Light and Little Fire down; back then, he clearly felt Little Light and Little Fires thirst for the stone orb. Little Light and Little Fire revealed disappointment in their eyes: they clearly knew that this was not at all the right time to leave Long Hao Chen. Two heads rubbed against Long Hao Chens leg as whimpering sounds could be heard. However, their firm look didnt change in the slightest. They were obviously full of determination. On Hao Yues back, some purple colored veins slowly began to shine, forming a thin purple-colored light that covered the inside of his whole body. As he looked deeply at Long Hao Chen, this purple light vanished, and in a split second, Hao Yues body immediately shrank before disappearing, thus heading back to his original world. Looking at the ce where Hao Yue had disappeared, Long Hao Chen tried to suppress his feelings of unwillingness as he took out the three bottles given to him by Lin Xin from his forget-me-not ring. Opening them, he took out the slips of paper that were inside. They looked unimportant, but upon discovering its contents, Long Hao Chen instantly opened his eyes wide. His first reaction was, _Is this for real?_ The three slips of paper were quite simple. On the first one was written, _Below the fifth step, take one pill per day and begin training; each will increase the users spiritual energy by 10._ On the second one was written, _You may use these pills in any circumstances, they will replenish 200 units of internal spiritual energy within ten seconds._ On the third one was written, _These will instantly release your hidden potential and increase yourbat capabilities by 20 percent and will persist for 30 seconds. After the effect wears off, the user will be weakened for 12 hours._ Even though Long Hao Chen had no idea that these pills were the best pills of the fourth step, he could see how valuable these items were. For this reason, he felt greatly indebted towards Lin Xin. Regardless of whether it was for his promise to Lin Xin or to reach the cultivation level required to seek his parents even one day earlier, it was necessary for him to exert as much effort as possible. Immersed in his thoughts, Long Hao Chen took out one of the pills in the first bottle and swallowed it before sitting cross-legged to cultivate. The next morning, Long Hao Chens group of five continued their journey, heading straight for Holy City. After a days rest, everyone was in high spirits. The Demon Hunt Selection was about to start, and deep inside, they were all determined and full of anticipation. Without a doubt, they were all extremely motivated. After two days of travel, they were quite close to Holy City, so Long Hao Chens group slowed down and took their time advancing. Thepetition would only start in a day and a half, so there was no need for them to rush. Walking forward, they suddenly heard some people arguing ahead, attracting their attention. Since the beginning, this baldie has been an eyesore . Its convenient that we havent reached Holy City yet; it seems that you dont even need to attend. Hand over your number te, then piss off and return to Xiu City. A priest who cant even heal actually wants to lead us? You guys want to rebel? A deep voice sounded. This sudden mor had attracted Long Hao Chens attention because the first voice sounded extremely familiar. After passing through a small grove, Long Hao Chen, Li Xin, and the rest of them could see the two parties quarrelling before them. There was a total of six people behind the grove. Long Hao Chens judgment wasnt mistaken: one of those people was unexpectedly that familiar person. That person whom he had met by chance at the Knights Sacred Mountain: Gui Wu. At this moment, Gui Wu was mounted atop his fiery, red-bodied Scarlet Shelled Earthworm. His right hand gripped ance as he sat tall, seemingly well above the rest. These six people were split into two sides: Gui Wus side, which unexpectedly amounted to five people, and surprisingly on the other, one lone figure. That lone figure was a hulking bald man. He was extremely tall, at least two meters or more, had a broad back, and his bulging muscles stretched his clothes taut. With a slightly unrefined appearance, his bald head gleamed like a lightbulb. His sword-like eyebrows covered ferocious, tiger-like eyes, and his face showed a straight, tall nose with a squarish jaw, seeming very imposing. But what made Long Hao Chen and the others curious was that this heavyset baldie was surprisingly dressed in a white robe. This white robe was something that only a priest would wear! Taking into consideration what they had just heard, the expressions of Long Hao Chen and the others exuded astonishment. Was this robust person whose physique even surpassed average warriors and knights really a priest? Correct, the guy was a priest. Did he not hold a magic staff in his hands? If one could call that a magic staff This heavyset baldies right hand gripped a pitch ck staff fully 3 and a half meters long and as thick as a persons arm. The material of the staff was indiscernible, and at the very tip of the staff was iid a glittering, dim yellow gem. Without this gem, one would truly think that this staff was simply an iron rod. Because the area through which Long Hao Chen and the others passed was on the mountains incline, they could clearly see these six people, but the other party could not see them. The group of five currently confronting this bald priest was clearly led by Gui Wu. He pointed hisnce towards that bald priest and said: Sima Xian, give me your number te, then piss off so we can abandon you here. At Holy City, a fellow like you would only serve as a disgrace to our Xiu City. That bald priests eyes gleamed coldly, I, your father, will not hand it over. How about you bastards try and take it from me? Gui Wuughed sinisterly, Then well beat you until your own mother cant even recognize you. Attack. Saying so, he urged on the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm as it roared and hurtled forward, charging rampantly towards that bald priest. Among the group of four on Gui Wus side was a warrior charging alongside him, two mages who began to chant incantations, as well as a spindly figure wearing a ck veil that seemed to be an assassin. His body flickering, he ran out and circled around from the side. It seemed that there was a deep understanding within the teamwork of these five. Watching this ur, Long Hao Chens face immediately expressed indignance. Regardless of which side was wrong, five people were actually executing an attack from all sides against a priest. Already, Long Hao Chen couldnt tolerate this despicable conduct. But, just as he rushed out to help that priest, he was held back by Li Xin who stood beside him. Lilbro, look before acting. Dont you see that the priest doesnt even show a hint of fear? He should be capable of defending himself. Facing the all-round attack of those five people, this bald priest Sima Xian let out an angry shout. Not only did he move back, his steps were extremely quick, and he swiftly retreated backwards. At this moment, that gigantic staff in his hands began to light up. Both priests and knights were considered to bepanions of light because all their skills utilized holy magic. The only difference was that the holy magic of priests focused more on healing and auxiliary affects. Raising his staff, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth, bing a golden pir that enveloped that bald priest, Sima Xian. This was both an offensive and defensive skill of priests, [Sacred Light]. It effectively protected oneself while simultaneously releasing a killing force against all enemies close by. 1. ten Chinese feet *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 75 - Violent Priest (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Although Sima Xians retreating speed was quite fast, and his body in no way weak, it couldnt possiblypare with a Scarlet Shelled Earthworm. Gui Wusnce was thrust forward, a golden light surrounding the edge of this longnce. This was the skill [Light Thrust]. A golden light shot straight towards Sima Xian. Gui Wu was a Guardian Knight, but he didnt use a shield at all: both his hands were instead holding hisnce. At the same time [Light Thrust] wasunched, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm rushed forward towards the bald priest. Stamping on the ground to its front right side, it used a trampling energymonly used during fights by magical beasts. An intense shaking spread all through the ground, attacking and sinking the surroundings. Exactly as Li Xin said, Sima Xians face didnt show the slightest change; on the contrary, the face of this robust priest held a ferocious expression. With a _Buzz_ , [Light Thrust] was immediately blocked and dispelled by [Sacred Light]. The Scarlet Shelled Earthworm stampedyer afteryer of ground, spreading a pure white light all around as the charging beast aimed [Breaking Charge] under its foot, . HaaC Sima Xian shouted loudly, whirling therge magical staff in his hand, directly weing Gui Wusnce. As a loud metallic sound echoed,pletely stunning Long Hao Chens group, on the hillside; Gui Wusnce was unexpectedly blocked by Sima Xians attack, and the upper part of Gui Wus body was immediately knocked away. Right after the colliding sound could be heard, it was evident: the magical staff of this bald priest was indeed made of metallic material. One must know that Gui Wu was a Guardian Knight! Inbination with this fact, his use of the charging power of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm created an attack that was obviously quite powerful. Still this collision concluded with his loss. At the same time that Sima Xian resisted Gui Wus attack, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm was immediately pped to the side, a thick palm colliding with its sharp, shining ws. Sima Xian was not the slightest bit disturbed, and while partially turning around, he swung the magical rod. With a _Peng_ sound, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm was hit. Gui Wus Scarlet Shelled Earthworm unexpectedly stumbled from the attack, losing its bnce. Instantly, Sima Xians body changed direction, the magical staff in his hand sweeping around, directly smashing the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm on its side. Gui Wu instantly corrected his posture and hurriedly used thence in his hand to parry. _Peng_ The next scene astounded everyone! Gui Wusnce was smashed back towards the Scarlet Shelled Earthworms face: with a painful cry, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm was pushed two meters back, almost falling to the ground. A priest, facing the forte of the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, its full force charge, apanied in addition by a Guardian Knights support, was actually winning in this situation No matter who watched this scene, he would bepletely astounded. However, Sima Xians adaptability wasntcking at all. Gui Wus two warriors immediately rushed forward, simultaneously arriving before him. At the same time two enormous fireballs appeared. The fireballs formed unexpectedly, directly blocking Sima Xians way out. The two warriors, one on the left and one on the right, were both armed with huge swords in each hand, and simultaneously initiated jumping attacks on him. But then, there was an astonishing scene. As he was being attacked from both sides, Sima Xians decision betrayed all expectations. He took two steps back, and atop his magical staff, a white glow appeared, turning it into a veryrge hammer which he instantly smashed behind him. Taking two steps back enabled him to evade the attack of the two warriors, but unfortunately thrust him into the path of the two fireballs. PingC An imposing blood-curdling sound was made as he ferociously wielded the milky white-colored hammer, smashing it onto a ck figure nearby. This was precisely the assassin who hade from to attack him sneakily at his back. [Sacred Hammer]! He used the most powerful offensive skill priests could use below the fifth step. Frankly speaking, a priests offensive skills were extremely limited; they had only three options below the fifth step, [Sacred Light], [Sacred Hammer], and the white halo, [Sacred Knock], which Sima Xian used previously. The assassin was sent flying by [Sacred Hammer] at the same time as Sima Xian was hit by a fierce fireball passing through his [Sacred Light], and knocking him six or seven steps back while scorching his priests gown. ArgC Sima Xian roared. His two arms shook, as his body was revealed, revealing an extremely heroic appearance. Instantly, he raised his magnificent body, and with a _Puff_ sound, his priest robe immediately shattered, revealing his bronze-like muscles. His muscles towered like mountains; they had the thickness of a python and the shape of a dragon. A reddish glint could be seen; they were the burn marks on his body that hade from the previous attack. From the hillside, Chen Chen, who usually didnt speak much, eximed, [Madness], a priest that can use [Madness]! [Madness] was a skill that was not even necessarily possessed by berserkers. It required a very robust body, and was a secret skill of the Warrior Temple that couldnt be learnt normally, only rewarded for great merit. Even Chen Chen who was a berserker couldnt use it. And yet. this bald priest before his eyes apparently could. With the two sounds _Bang, Bang_ , the two warriors who had been abruptly repelled by Sima Xians magical staff began to rush, but Gui Wu was already charging, his Guardian Knights [Faith Halo] skill spreading around himself. Thence in his hand emitted a golden glint, as it turned into dozens of spears aimed at Sima Xian. In [Madness] mode, Sima Xians body was even sturdier, and his magical staff whipped up and down before directly attacking the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm without even taking half a step back. A solid attack with a solid defense. At this moment, Gui Wus face had already be quite ugly. He knew that Sima Xian was quite a tough opponent, but he didnt expect him to have such a level. Even if he grouped with the two warriors, he could only barely be a match for Sima Xian. Attack persistently, his [Madness] wontst for too long. Gui Wu shouted, as the golden light covering his body intensified, while the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm helped block a good portion of Sima Xians attack. At this very moment, behind Gui Wu, a three meter long enormous red light appeared in the air, emitting fiery-red-colored clouds all around. The two people behind Gui Wu, who looked like mages, lifted up their magical staves, and produced an enormous red-colored radiance. Joint magic, [Glorious Scattering Fire Dance]. A powerful offensive spell of the fifth step. These two mages were like brothers; subtly relying on joint magic, they used a spell with an incredible offensive power. The bald priest Sima Xiansplexion changedpletely. He was extremely valiant, but in the end, he was no more than a single man, with a fourth step cultivation level. Facing Gui Wus groupposed of youths that were also at the fourth step in their vocations, 5 versus 1, even this valiant priest wanted to surrender in such a situation. Suddenly, as the [Glorious Scattering Fire Dance] rose in the sky, locking onto Sima Xian, two specks of light filled the sky, forcing themselves into the middle of the battlefield. In a sh, a reddish speck of light arrived at Sima Xians body, and instantly, Sima Xians whole body was covered by ayer of reddish gold inscriptions, increasing his strength, attack power, and defense. Still in [Madness] mode, he lifted up his magical staff, and violently shook the two warriors. The second speck of light, that was white-colored, was flying in the direction of the mages when a strange scene took ce: the [Glorious Scattering Fire Dance] that was originally locked onto Sima Xian suddenly changed direction and aimed instead at his side. HongC With a sh of red light, there was nothing left but scorched earth in a ten meter radius. Astoundingly, a youth sparkling with a gold-colored radiance remained, standing proudly at the center of the zone hit by the [Glorious Scattering Fire Dance]. He didnt even seem the slightest bit affected by it. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 76 - Violent Priest (IV)

Chapter 76: Violent Priest (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The youth with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand was no other than Long Hao Chen. With the Light Sword in his hand oriented towards Sima Xian, he had used a [Bright Vengeance] with [Divine Obstruction], turning it into a healing light aimed at his body. This warm energy soothed Sima Xian, calming the paining from [Madness] while raising his spirit. Stop. Riding the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, Gui Wu fiercely lifted hisnce, as his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm took a few steps back together with his two fellow warriors, stopping their attack. Its you. Gui Wu stared at Long Hao Chen with gloomy eyes. Long Hao Chen indifferently answered: Its me. So you still remember this bet between Teacher Ye Hua and your esteemed father, right? Gui Wus expression changed faintly, he had personally seen how Long Hao Chen had actually managed to repel the offensive spell of the fifth step, [Glorious Scattering Fire Dance]. His original self-confidence had been weakened by a wide margin, Naturally, I remember. We will meet during the selection. Well be leaving. Seeing Long Hao Chenspanions group with the violent priest Sima Xian, they could only calmly leave. The two Warriors and the Assassin, who had sustained a good amount of injuries, gloomily left, advancing together with Gui Wu towards Holy City. Long Hao Chen didnt stop Gui Wu. There was no use attacking him now: he would still have to fight him during the uingpetition. Half a year before, Gui Wu was an eighth ranked Knight. By this point, he was already a first ranked Grand Knight. Further adding the fact that he possessed his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, Long Hao Chen was not necessarily a match for him. What an act, peuhC Looking at Gui Wus group that was leaving, Sima Xian spit out these words, full of disdain. Long Hao Chen turned towards him and said, Hi! Nice to meet you, I am Long Hao Chen. Sima Xian stroked his bald head, and with a lightugh, he said in return, Thanks younger brother, I am Sima Xian. Are youing to Holy City to participate to the selection as well? Long Hao Chen nodded and answered, Yes, wee from Hao Yue City in the south. What happened just now? Could it be that all of youe from Xiu City? Sima Xians face became depressed, Dont bring it up, these guys dont have anything good. Especially that Gui Wu, hes full of evil tricks. At that time, I refused toplete my task together with them, so they thought about preventing me from participating in this selection, saying that I would humiliate Xiu City and so on. How can it be that just because the great I cannot heal, I would make Xiu City lose face? From my point of view, it just looks like they are worried that I might bring back good results from this selection, and because of that, this Gui Wus father, the conste of Xiu City, wouldnt be able to win against my teacher. This is the right exnation. A priest that cannot heal! Long Hao Chens heart twitched. This guy was really a strange one! Sima Xian was quite straightforward, as he said, Younger brother Long, you have helped me today. I will keep this favor I owe you in mind, and in the future, I will return it for sure. I am leaving first, I have to hurry up to meet my teacher in Xiu City, so as to tell him how they tried to prevent me frompeting. I am leaving, good bye! As he finished, this bald violent priest left towards Xiu City, takingrge steps and carrying his magical staff. Li Xin arrived at Long Hao Chens side, and couldnt help but fall inughter, Puhu, this baldie is quite interesting. It is the first time I meet a priest that cannot heal. Long Hao Chenughed as well, Right, what a strange person! We should go as well. Holy City, in the Temple Alliances headquarters. The city had been progressively constructed after humanity entered the dark age; it was basically the Temple Alliances center ofmand. The Temple Alliance was not exactly like a nation, this was ce with the highest authority in its territory, while the power was being wielded by the Six Great Temples. Each of these temples had a powerhouse of the ninth step keeping watch over its headquarters, supervising all operations rted to the demon race and the internal affairs of the Temple Alliance. Holy City was not an ordinary city with a shape of square, it was shaped like a hexagon, symbolizing the Six Great Temples. And this Holy City was the most bustling city of the Alliance, where no branch halls were set; only the Alliance held the power. In Holy City, there were three famous buildings: the Alliances Office Pce, the Alliances Head Auction House, and the Alliances Great Stadium. These three ces were located in the center of Holy City, standing like threepeting rivals. Among them, the Alliances Great Stadium was the ce used for the Demon Hunt Selection, as well as the ce where Demon Hunt Squads took their missions. It was so important that its influence was equivalent to that of the Six Great Temples. It could be said that all of the Six Great Temples powerhouses had, together, the same influence as the Demon Hunt Squads. Among the three extremely famous buildings, the Alliances Examination Stadium was also the building that covered the widest area in the city. It was a circr building with a diameter of 300 meters that covered the six areas of the city. Furthermore, it included the Demon Hunt Exclusive Missions Tower, the Demon Hunt Transactions Center, and the Temples Treasure Vault. When Long Hao Chens group arrived at the door of Holy City, the supervisor Feng Yangmu appeared in front of them once more, and made them enter Holy City, before directly heading to the Alliances Great Stadium to report their arrival. Arriving at the ce where the Six Temples were in charge of receiving visitors, the five people in Long Hao Chens group had to split up. They had to head to their respective temples to participate the event. Big Sister Lin, eldest brother Chen, second brother Chen, do your best. We have to strive in order to meet in the finals of thepetition. Long Hao Chen said with a smiling face. Chen Si lightly sighed, Lets try our utmost! Looking at his younger brothers face, he felt clearly unconfident. The Warrior Templespetition was the most intense, and as juniors of the fourth step, at the second rank in terms of cultivation level, it would be extremely hard for them to enter the top ten. Lin Jia Lu humbly smiled, and spoke back, Hao Chen, both Li Xin and I will try our best as well. The five people felt reluctant to part, as they went to each of their respective temples to report their arrival. When Long Hao Chen and Li Xin arrived in the Knight Temple to make their report, they could immediately see Ye Hua who was standing there. Seeing Long Hao Chen and Li Xin, Ye Hua didnt show a pleased expression; he had faith in his personal disciple, and considering that Li Xin possessed her Rose Unicorn and had a high cultivation level, it would be abnormal for them not to be able to pass the test. Teacher. Looking at Ye Hua, Long Hao Chen immediately became excited as he went up to his side. Ye Hua replied, Go, you have to register first, well talk after that. You will have a day of rest, and the day after tomorrow, in early morning, the preliminary contest will start. His face looked a little grim. Registration was very simple. You would hand in your official tile and receive another number te marking you as a participant of the Knights Temple, then the registration would conclude. For the participants that did not seed in the trial missions before, the official tile would be taken away by the supervisors. As such, one would only need to investigate the authenticity of the official tile to proceed. After the report, Ye Hua took Long Hao Chen and Li Xin to the Knight Temple to make the arrangements in a hotel near to the Alliances Great Stadium to check them in, before directly taking them to their rooms. Thispetition will be pretty intense, please prepare yourselves mentally. Ye Hua said, with a gloomy face. Li Xin and Long Hao Chen gave a nce to each other, internally shivering at the same time. Ye Hua coldly said, I did my research. At least a hundred people will participate in thispetitions preliminary contest, and the concrete number will depend on the results of tomorrowsst report. Among those who have already been reported, three Earth Knights have also appeared. What? Li Xin cried out in surprise; Earth Knight, Earth Knight of the fifth step? There wasnt a huge discrepancy between Ye Hua and them. In addition, upon entering the fifth step, the spiritual energy would start to liquefy, improving the power of each of their abilities, without exception, by a huge margin. There was a single word of difference between the title of an Earth Knight and a Grand Knight, but they were as different as earth and sky. In contrast to Li Xin who waspletely shocked, Long Hao Chen was a lot more steady, and although he barely managed to control his emotions, the look in his eyes was as unyielding as in the past. 1.

Chapter 77: Battle start (1)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Calm down. Ye Hua stared at Li Xin, All the talents from the entire Temple Alliance will gather here to participate in the Demon Hunt Selection. Why are you surprised that there are a few Earth Knights appearing here and there? There may be at least one person for each Earth Knight rank. Do not forget, the Knight Temple is the strongest out of the Six Grand Temples. Furthermore, its not only our Knight Temple that sent knights at the fifth step, the five other temples also sent their own fifth step powerhouses. In the previous Demon Hunt Selection, the final rounds of the top tens were full of contestants with fifth step vocations. You should not be arrogant about being strong here even if you were strong within Hao Yue City. With your current status, your task is to finish in the top 10 of the qualification, before trying your best during the final stage, aiming to join a Demon Hunt Squad. Even though a lot of formidable youths were participating in the current Demon Hunt Squads Tournament, Ye Hua wasnt anxious. _Long Hao Chen is only fourteen years old, he can participate in two more Demon Hunt Selections. This time, our main goal is to let him experience it once. As for his ranking, we will see that in the next tournament. In five more years, Long Hao Chen should be able to reach the step of Earth Knight, right? Hmpf, he will probably be at least a peaked Earth Knight._ Of course, Ye Hua would not say those words to Long Hao Chen now, as he did not wish to make his apprentice lose his fighting spirit. Apparently, the fights in the preliminary round are even more brutal than those in the final rounds. It will be a knockout tournament. However,petitors at the fifth step or above will not have to fight for the first two rounds. Furthermore, the Temple will arrange for them to have the opportunity to be in top 10. This is to ensure that our Knight Temple will have better rankings in the final round. So, you two will have to prepare yourselves, do not make any mistakes. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be eliminated in the first round. Yes. Long Hao Chen and Li Xin respectfully replied. Ye Hua said: Good, now you should return to your rooms to rest. Before the tournament starts, do not go out; if you can increase your spiritual power by even a little bit, you will have better odds of winning against your opponents. Long Hao Chen returned to his room; when he was about to start his practice, Ye Hua arrived. Teacher. Long Hao Chen respectfully saluted Ye Hua. Ye Hua waved, meaning to tell him to sit down: Tell me what you have been going through since the trials started. Naturally, Long Hao Chen did not hide anything. He reported everything in detail., including the fact that their team had sessfully hunted down members of the Luke n, the Dyke n, and finally a Dark-Green Dual-ded Demon. He also did not hide either the fact he ran into Lin Xin and Sima Xian the violent priest, after these events. When he heard Long Hao Chen say that they had sessfully killed a Dark Green Dual ded Demon, Ye Hua could not help but crack a smile. But this smile quickly turned into anger. You fool, why did you agree to make this promise? Youve been tricked! Long Hao Chen was surprised for a moment, then said: Teacher, Lin Xin looked quite sincere, and in addition, he gave me some pretty good pills! Ye Hua patted on his own forehead, sighed loudly and said: You little kid, you are still too naive. You thought that your chance of entering the top three was not high, so this promise was no big deal, didnt you? Long Hao Chen did not say anything but at that time he had indeed that thought. You, ah, you, let me tell you what happened. He had definitely used the [Identification Method], so he could see through your age and spiritual level. Youre only fourteen, so even if you dont seed this time, will it still be that difficult for you to get in the top three next time? Im pretty sure that this kid is not be at most twenty years old, so he will be able to participate in the next tournament. Moreover, his magic skills should not be that simple. Long Hao Chen bowed his head: I am sorry, Teacher. I was wrong. Ye Hua sighed heavily: Well, you cant take back your promise, since you already gave it. A real man keeps his promises after all. Let me take a look at the medicine he gave you. Long Hao Chen quickly took out the three types of special pills and the energy pills from forget-me-not, and handed them to Ye Hua. Hmph, that little bastard still had some conscience. All of them are fourth tier pills. If you are to sell these bottles, ten thousand gold coins may not even be enough to buy all of them. If he was really the one who cooked these medicines, even if he is a bitcking at magic, he should still be qualified to be your teammate. Keep these well, youll need to try your best during these days. Ill give you a simple goal: to enter the final round. There was no audience during the Demon Hunt Selections because in the future, members of the Demon Hunt Squads had to fight against the demon race. Their informations had to be kept confidential. Thus, to ordinary people, even though they were aware that the event happened, they had no knowledge of its process or result. Long Hao Chens te number was 97, the same as his innate spiritual power, Li Xins te number was 98. The day of thepetition arrived. Early in the morning, Ye Hua took the two to the Alliances Great Stadium. The whole Great Stadium was built while taking the Six Temples into ount. Therefore, inside the stadium, there were six smaller trial grounds belonging to each of the Six Temples. Long Hao Chen and Li Xin, using their number tes, directly reported to their arrival to the Knight Stadium. Ye Hua, as their teacher, presented an introduction letter written by Hao Yue Citys conste, allowing him to apany them. Of course, there could only be a single representative teacher for each vocations of a city. Since they hadpleted the bone age test the day before, they only needed to check in using their number tes starting from today. Brother Ye Hua, we meet again. Gui Ying and Gui Wu, father and son, happened to arrive as Long Hao Chen was checking in. Ye Hua lightly said, with cold eyes, You better pray that your son does not run into Long Hao Chen. Finishing the sentence, he then went inside with Long Hao Chen and Li Xin. Gui Ying coldly said: The one who should be worried is you. Ye Hua came to a halt, and without looking back, he said: Also, go wash your face so as not to dirty my hands when the momentes. You Gui Yings face contorted with anger, almost starting to attack. But Ye Hua had already gone in alongside Long Hao Chen and Li Xin. The Alliances Great Stadium was not in the open, each of the 66 square meters long sub-stadiums were under a huge dome, measured at 300 meters in diameter, and covering the whole stadium. If one was to look at the stadium from above, he could see that on its ground, there were six huge semi-circr projections. Entering the Knights Arena, there was sting from the fluctuations of powerful elemental magic. Here, the elemental magic almost seemed to materialize. Although it didnt have offensive purposes, it still produced some kind of invisible pressure. Above the dome, huge magic symbols could be vaguely seen. There were differentplex magic spells everywhere; they clearly had their own unique functions. In the middle of the stadium stood an enormous za with a diameter of 200 meters. The ground was covered by ayer of sandy soil. Reportedly, a powerful magic was cast below the ground, so that no matter how badly this sandy soil was destroyed, it could be restored in a short time. There were audience stands around the za; in the middle of those, a location stood out prominently: it was the stadiums podium. What strong fluctuations of elemental magic! Li Xin eximed. 1. this idiom (һŵǧ) literally means a promise is worth a thousand gold coins. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 78 - Battle start (2)

Chapter 78: Battle start (2)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Ye Hua said: This Great Stadium is full of magic formations, and they are powerful enough to withstand the attacks of people at the ninth step of their vocation. How can the elemental fluctuations not be strong? Under the guidance of the stadiums workers, they came to the contestants seating area. At this time, a lot of people had alreadye, and the participants were all fully dressed in martial attire, every one of them exuding a valiant air. Not long after, the dome of the stadium started to light up, and a circle of golden light began to swell and spread out. Because there were no spectators, the area around the stadium was full of empty space. Ten-some people had already arrived on the arenas podium, but because the podium was much too high, events up there couldnt be followed from below. A forceful voice sounded from the podium, Report concluded. This Demon Hunt Selections preliminary rounds begin now. We hope that participants of each city will put forth their best effort. Thepetitions regtions prohibit deliberate disabling of an opponent. If the opposing party receives a mortal wound, then the other party is automatically disqualified, and the responsibility of subsequent investigation will fall on the respective cities to whom the participants belong to. All the preliminary matches are knockoutpetitions. Today we will proceed with the first round of preliminary matches. There is a reported number of 138 contestants, including four participants of the fifth step. Those four will not participate in the first two rounds. The drawing will now begin, all contestants get ready. It wasnt known how things in the stadium were manipted. In the air at the center of the dome, a huge golden ball of light slowly appeared. Immediately, the ball of light began to sh as digits flickered. Li Xin muttered: For such a famous event as the Demon Hunt Selection, its actually this simple! Theres not even an opening ceremony. Ye Hua indifferently replied: This is an elite selectionpetition, not a show. What would it do with a ceremony? There are one hundred thirty-something participants, and on the first day, there are already more than sixty matches. If you waste time, when would thepetition end? Right as they were speaking, that golden ball of light that was suspended in midair and shing with digits all of sudden stopped. Tworge numbers appeared and were projected into the air. First battle, #29 versus #97. Both parties enter the arena. Those that do not enter the arena within a period of ten breaths will be disqualified. _#97?_ Long Hao Chen abruptly started, _Isnt that me?_ Ye Hua and Li Xin also received a big scare. Who would have thought that Long Hao Chen would actually be drawn for the first match. The rest of the participants in the surroundings simultaneously turned their gazes towards the excessively handsome youngster, Long Hao Chen. Ye Hua had already recovered from shock and hastily said: Face the opponent calmly, go steadily and strike firmly. En. Long Hao Chen answered and didnt dare to linger, already striding forward with big steps. Following the stairs, he entered the arena. Long Hao Chens opponent was a youth, seemingly around twenty years old, fully clothed in silver armor. Just like Long Hao Chen, he was a Guardian knight: his left hand carried a shield, while his right held a sword. Following the two contestants into the arena was a middle aged man dressed in white clothes that were easy to move around in. He was obviously this matchs referee. Without any superfluous words, once the two contestants were in the center of the arena and roughly fifty meters away from each other, the referee announced in a loud voice: Match begin. You are prohibited from disabling the opponent. Once one side concedes or loses their ability to battle, they have lost. Following the referees deration, ayer of golden light surged upwards from the arena, barring it from the spectators. Right as Long Hao Chen was about to begin his very first match in the Demon Hunt Selection, something was urring in another dimension. Pitch ck. This was a pitch ck world. Wild gales blew ferociously, and the moon in the sky gleamed with an eerie luster. There was rushingva and highly toxic gas as far as the eye could see. In a deep and distant cave, Hao Yue quietly crept around. Little Light and Little mes eyes flickered with a dazzling sheen. Before them, the stone orb, which had been bought for ten thousand gold coins, had already split and cracked. Threads of bright, emerald light were currently spreading out with no sign of stopping. Little Light and Little me continually took deep breaths, ingesting these emerald strands of light into their stomach. The three gleaming purple veins on their back shed unceasingly, and their body exuded a fierce, bloody air. The sharp ws of their four limbs dug fiercely into the ground. Looking through the cracks in the stone orb, one could see that there seemed to be an emerald sphere inside. The surface of the sphere was actually all scaly. Following the shimmering of emerald light, one could faintly see that there seemed to be a lizard-like shape, and it was this emerald sphere that radiated an incorporeal majesty. This was a dragons might. If Lin Xin could see the emerald sphere inside this stone orb, hed likely regret it until his innards turned green. This was, quite impressively, a dragon pill! This dragon pill was a seventh tier medicine The dragon poption was extremely small, but every genuine, giant dragon was at least a powerhouse of the eighth step or higher. The most powerful would be a Dragon King, who was actually at the tenth step, which was equivalent to a human expert at the ninth step. The greatest issue of the dragon n was the matter of giving birth. Only once in a great while, after a thousand something years, would there be a chance to breed a new generation, and this was the cause of the rarity of dragon pills. The reason was because dragon pills were dragon eggs that couldnt hatch. Only after incubating for a millennium and absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth would one be formed. Seeing how difficult it was for the dragon n to bear seeding generations, one could imagine how much the dragons treasured their eggs. Therefore, acquiring a dragon egg that had be a dragon pill was really too hard. On rare asions, a dragon pill might even surpass eighth tier medicine. Dragon pills were of use to both the human race and magical beasts. If a human ingested it, then they would possess the blood of dragons, and their inner and external spiritual energy would shoot up by at least three hundred units. Furthermore, their limit of external spiritual energy would be promoted to five thousand units. Using a dragon pill basically guaranteed that one would have the capacity to reach the seventh step. If a magical beast wanted to use a dragon pill, the prerequisites were much higher. First and foremost, it had to be of dragon lineage in order to digest the pill. Next, their level had to be lower than the sixth rank. This way, taking it would enable them to evolve, and in terms of efficacy, it would increase its level by a step. Hao Yue was taking and absorbing the spiritual aura contained in a Dragon Pill, and looking at him, it looked as if he didnt fear any negative effect the Dragon Pill could have. HouuC Little Light let out a low pitched howl, and looking at him, Little Fire calmly nodded. A faint purple light was emitted from the summit of their heads, slowly giving birth to a violet-colored horn, and immediately, as Hao Yue charged with the horn, a _pa_ sound could be heard as the Dragon Pill was being embedded in the hard part of his horn. His pair of heads, below the hard part under their purple-colored horn, seemed as frail as tofu, as instantly, dragon scales came out from the location of the dark-green-colored dragon pill. At this moment, Little Light and Little Fires eyes changedpletely from their gold and red color, taking a deep purple color. Lifting up his heads, they looked far ahead, longing for his other world, the world of hispanion. _Big Bro, wait for our return!_ Little Light ferociously lowered his head, opening wide his mouth, and swallowing the dark-green Dragon Pill at once. Instantly, an intense green color surged out from his body, as the bulge in the neck in the side of Little Light violently squirmed, an intense and deste power surging out from its body 1. the word for tier is the same as the word for step in Chinese, so you can consider that it is a medicine of/for the seventh step. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 79 - Caier, the blind girl (I)

Chapter 79: Caier, the blind girl (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In the first round of the Demon Hunt Selection, Long Hao Chen, as thepetitor #97, faced a young knight bearing the number #29. With a word of the referee, this match officially started. As soon as the #29 knight that wore a silver armor heard the referees start signal, he stood at the same ce without the slightest hesitation, his hand emitting a golden light as he summoned his mount. To participate in the Demon Hunt Competition, the requirement was to be a youth below 25 years old who reached the third step of his vocation. For that reason, all participating knights had the experience of having visited the Knights Sacred Mountain. But Long Hao Chens actionpletely exceeded the expectations of all spectators. He stood still, as if he were a nail, but didnt summon his mount. With his left hands shield in front of his chest and his right hands heavy sword pointing at the ground, he looked at his surroundings, as a fog of golden light was created around him; it was a fantastic sight from outside to see this elegant fog rise up in the sky. Guardian Knight and Retribution Knight shared skill, [Power Storing]. Seeing him use this skill, the people in the crowd couldnt help but cry out in surprise. It was because [Power Storing] didnt belong to the fourth steps category, and could normally be only learned by fifth step Earth Knights or Airborne Knights. Apanying the fog surrounding his body, the Radiant Shield in Long Hao Chens hand brightened, together with his Light Sword, creating strong fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air. Under this golden fog, he looked the same as a brick of gold. From thepetitors resting area, Ye Hua lookedpletely amazed; after all, he never taught this skill to Long Hao Chen. Frankly speaking, even him, who was at the level of an Earth Knight, couldnt use this skill. [Power Storing][s wasnt an average ability that any knight could learn to use; it was one of the secrets of the Knight Temple. Simultaneously, Long Hao Chens opponents mount was summoned. It was an entirely white steed with four snow-white-colored legs, a Spiritual Snow Horse, magical beast of the fourth step. In itself, a Spiritual Snow Horses greatest feature was its speed; it could run at a flying speed and in addition, possessed two innate skills of the ice attribute. Among magical beasts of the fourth step, it was one of quite a high level. Looked at the fog surrounding Long Hao Chen,petitor #29 was startled, _What is this skill?_ He didnt know the skill Long Hao Chen was using at all. Among the secrets of the Knight Temple, [Power Storing] was ssified as one with rtively little interest, and as a result, among knights who umted some aplishments, few chose to learn this skill. Facing this skill he didnt know the slightest bit,petitor #29 became cautious. Rising like a bullet, the Spiritual Snow Horse charged at Long Hao Chen, but it didnt charge straight at him. It rushed at flying speed, aiming for the nk. Long Hao Chen seemed as if he didnt pay the slightest bit of attention to it, standing at the same ce as before; without even turning his body around, he kept umting golden light in his body, as before. After the time of a few breaths,petitor #29 had already arrived by Long Hao Chens side, and seeing that his opponent didnt move the slightest bit, he felt worried from the bottom of his heart. Atst, he chose to charge. A white fog was scattered under the Spiritual Snow Horses feet, as it suddenly elerated, just like white ray of light, directly charging at Long Hao Chen from the side. Competitor #29 raised the heavy sword in his hand, andunched [Faith Halo] and [Guardian Favor] to strengthen his own body, and simultaneously, the heavy sword in his hand brightened. [Bright Radiance], a skill that concentrated spiritual energy in the tip of a sword, taking it in and out. It was the proof of a cultivation level at the fourth step. A short momentter, the distance separating him from Long Hao Chen was still more than 10 meters. The Spiritual Snow Horse suddenly deviated from its path, and as the distance to Long Hao Chen reached five meters, it changed directions once again. At this moment, the heavy sword in his hand was lifted high up in the sky. Chopping out, an edge made of light was created. It was precisely the skill [Light Thrust], aiming straight for Long Hao Chen from the side. This knight #29 was really cautious since he didnt know what kind of ability Long Hao Chen was using; he initiated a probing attack In addition, directly after heunched this attack with restraint, the Spiritual Snow Horses feet let out a mist, as it rushed towards Long Hao Chen. This was an innate skill possessed by Spiritual Snow Horses, [Ice Mist]. It reduced the speed of the opponent and impacted his offensive capabilities. Used against someone with a cultivation level much inferior, it could go as far as to freeze him. At this very moment, the still calm and motionless Long Hao Chen finally started moving. With a little turning motion, he ced his shield. With a _Dang_ sound, the [Light Thrust] ferociously hit Long Hao Chens shield, while a glitter of golden light scattered over Long Hao Chens entire body. [Divine Obstruction]. Almost at the next second, Long Hao Chen also created a golden edge made of light,unching it. It was a [Light Thrust] as well. Simr skills, when used by different people, would have different effects. The [Light Thrust] issued out by knight #29 was of an insipid golden color, it was the regr color for ordinary [Light Thrust]. However, the Long Hao Chens cut was extremely brilliant. This brilliant-gold-colored edge made of light was in addition at least twice asrge. The ice fog in front of him seemed as if it had been split open by Long Hao Chens attack; the brilliant golden light edge had a perfect angle, aiming straight at the Spiritual Ice Horse. Competitor #29 turned pale with fright, and lowered his body, as a huge gold-colored edge made of light wasunched at him. To knights,panion mounts were like a second life. Seeing Long Hao Chens [Light Thrust] that was bigger than any other he had seen before, how could he not feel the danger? _Ping_ The shield in the hands ofpetitor #29 was inclined to the side of the Spiritual Snow Horse, the horse letting out sad calls, taking an anglepletely different than before while leaning in the right side. #29 was about to make an all-out effort. He was really worthy of belonging to the elite of those who participated the Demon Hunt Selection: at the crucial moment, he was able tounch a [Holy Filter Shield]. But this blow from Long Hao Chen was really too powerful, as it could already not be categorized as a [Light Thrust] anymore, and [Holy Light Filter Shield] was instantly broken through, a crack appearing on the shield ofpetitor #29. He also spat out some blood in response. A charge. Long Hao Chen seemed as pure as a maiden as he moved in maximal speed, going all out in his charge, just like a golden bolt of lightning charging into his opponent. The Spiritual Snow Horse was indeed an amazing spiritual horse: in this circumstance, it still forced its body to stay steady, only stumbling a few steps forward. Its body was shaking intensely, but it didnt copse until the end. Unfortunately, at this moment, Long Hao Chen arrived. [Shield Charge]. Competitor #29 struck with his heavy sword, trying to hold Long Hao Chen back, but he was already wounded because of the previous attack, and with his left hand holding his shieldpletely numb, he waspletely outstripped by this attack power. _ng_ , the heavy sword was parried by the Radiant Shield raised up, and instantly, the Radiant Shield ruthlessly struck the Spiritual Snow Horse from the side. _Bang_ The Spiritual Snow Horse ofpetitor #29 loudly fell to the ground because of the power of this blow, and was even knocked several meters back. Putting to use the power from the charge, Long Hao Chen halted suddenly, and changed his direction, his twinkling figure arriving in a split second before his opponent. His heavy sword was directed forward, before the chest of his opponent. Competitor #29 seemedpletely dull. As the Spiritual Snow Horse fell to the ground because of the previous bump, its master was further injured as well. More importantly, he already didnt try to resist the slightest bit. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 80 - Caier, the blind girl (II)

Chapter 80: Caier, the blind girl (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The reason whypetitor #29 was so shocked was that he never thought that he would lose the battle so quickly. Furthermore, the opponent seemed to be a lot younger than him. It was even harder to ept that before his opponent even summoned his mount, the match had ended. First match, #97s victory. #29, out. The referee suddenly appeared in front of the two, announcing in a low voice. Long Hao Chen withdrew his sword, stood there and performed a Knight salute topetitor #29 and the referee, and headed back to the lounge. From the beginning to the end, this match onlysted for a total of less than a minute. Before many of the spectators watching the battle could even see what happened, the match had already ended. The young and handsome Long Hao Chen won. When Long Hao Chen got back to the lounge, the attitudes of the other knights towards him had changed significantly. There were more than a dozen people sitting at the podium. An old man sitting in the center nodded: This kid is pretty good. I just wonder what his mount is. At his side, another old man said: He seems to have a Heritage Ring on his hand. It seems that this times selections are worth watching after all. Those little guys at the fifth step of the vocation didnt appear yet, but we already got to see [Storing Power] and [Divine Obstruction]. Thats quite interesting. The elder in the middle faintly smiled, and said: The key point isnt the skills one can use, but his ability to remain cool-headed. From the instant thepetition began, this kid with the number 97 had already nned on how to deal with his opponent. This #27 didnt even know the skill his opponent was using: otherwise, theres no way he wouldnt have attacked from the beginning. The more the skill [Storing Power]sts, the more the spiritual energy will be amplified, and the might of the skill as well. But it will onlyst for an attack, and the effects of [Storing Power] will onlyst for three seconds. After that, the spiritual energy stored up will go to waste. The elder by his side showed arge smile, Thats right! This kid went so far as toplement [Bright Vengeance] with [Divine Obstruction]. And [Storing Power]bined with [Light Thorn] is his second mighty move. This blow had already the firepower of an Earth Knight of the fourth or the fifth rank. Looking at him, hes definitely under 20 years old. It looks like the results of our Knight Temples selections that will take ce five yearster are already set in stone. Investigate and find out from which town this kides. Yes. Seated in his back was a man, a middle-aged man respectfully responded before quietly leaving. Hao Chen, youre awesome! Li Xin saw Long Hao Chen single handedly win this match and she was even more happy for him than he was himself. She was so exuberant that she made Long Hao Chen blush. Ye Hua emotionlessly said, You revealed your assets too early. Even if you didnt use [Divine Obstruction], thispetitor number 29 would probably not have been your match, his cultivation level didnt even reach the fourth step of Grand Knight. Long Hao Chen bitterly smiled, Teacher, I forgot to tell you that Hao Yue had some matters, he had to go back to his world first. Eh? Ye Huas heart skipped a bit, Hao Yue is not here? In such a crucial moment, what the hell is he doing? Isnt he usually always sticking to you? Long Hao Chen replied: It was for this stone orb I told you about earlier, it seems that he regarded the thing inside as important, and thats why he brought it back to his space. Ye Hua furrowed his brows, No wonder you made this choice; you puzzled your opponent, not to letting him know what your real cultivation level is, and making him be cautious about the fact you can summon your mount at any moment. This is also a good thing, as not having your mount will train your personal abilities even better. However, Im afraid that theter stages of thepetition will prove to be difficult. And the preliminaries are supposedly even more ruthless than the main contest, considering that during each round, you will be facing an even fiercer opponent than in the previous one. It is even possible that you face an opponent at the fifth step, so you should prepare yourself mentally. Long Hao Chen unyieldingly nodded, Teacher, I will definitely enter the top ten! Ye Hua said: Okay, go back and cultivate. Long Hao Chen originally wanted to watch Li Xins match before leaving, so he immediately seemed in a daze upon hearing these words. Ye Hua said indifferently: Theres no need to keep watching. Combat experience has to be gained personally. If its only watching, theres no need. In addition, today is merely the first day. Theres no need for you to worry about Xiner, she has her Rose Unicorn. If she cannot even win her first match, that fatty Nn should just resign. During the time he was speaking, the second round had already begun. Just like Ye Hua said, because there were a lot of fights on the first day, they were all incredibly close to each other. A match would start right after another ended. Long Hao Chen gave an apologetic nce to Li Xin before leaving her, about to return to the hotel. Leaving the Great Stadium, Long Hao Chen took a deep breath. Although thest fight looked quite easy, in reality, he was quite nervous. This fight enabled him to pass the first round, and gave him some self-confidence at the same time. Today was an extremely cloudy day; it seemed as if rain could fall anytime. Long Hao Chen looked at the sky before heading straight to the hotel. The medicine Lin Xin gave him was excellent. He had already eaten four pills that increased his internal spiritual energy by ten units; the paper presenting the pill stated that he should take one of them everyday, during his cultivation practice, to give them the maximal effect. But to Long Hao Chen, the pills didnt increase the internal spiritual energy by ten units at all; the effect was even greater! He didnt know the exact value, but when taking this pill after starting his cultivation, the effect of the cultivation practice on his internal spiritual energy was at least doubled. And during these few days, further adding to the stimtion of his potential that urred as he got rid of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy had already broken through the threshold of the 1750th level; he was sure that he was currently a ninth ranked Grand Knight. Thest rank of every step was actually the one for which the most spiritual energy was required before reaching the next step. To Grand Knights of the fourth step, only 150 spiritual energy levels were required to break through the ninth rank, but to break through the next step of Earth Knight from the ninth rank of Grand Knight, they needed a whole 250 spiritual energy levels of growth. Ye Hua gave Long Hao Chen goals to reach, but he gave himself other goals to reach as well. His current goal was to try his best to enter the top ten of thepetition, as well as the top ten of the preliminary contest. Only, Long Hao Chen felt unfortunate: if he had Hao Yue, he would be confident enough about his ability to reach the finals. But at the current time, he could only rely on himself. As he advanced towards the hotel, Long Hao Chen was pondering over the tactics he would use during the rest of thepetition. At this very moment, he heard a strange noise. _Du, du, du, du, du_ Unconsciously looking upwards, Long Hao Chen saw someone. It was more precisely a young girl. The young girl had purple-colored hair, tied back behind her head, and her face was covered by a ck cloth, hiding her appearance. Her eyes werent covered, and were ash-grey-colored, not revealing the slightest emotion. This strange noise was in facting from her blue-colored bamboo cane that was hitting the ground. This young girl was a little smaller than Long Hao Chen, and she was especially thinner than him. While using her bamboo cane and producing this sound, she took a step forward very cautiously. Looking at her, this action seemed to be veryborious. Little sister, where are you going? Ill help you. Long Hao Chen took quick steps,ing by the side of this young girl as he asked her, feeling quite concerned about her. As he saw the ssy eyes of this young girl, Long Hao Chens heart started to ache. If someone lost his sight, as it seemed to be the case for her, the entire world would be monochromic. What a sad thing! Looking at this young girls appearance, Long Hao Chen felt full ofpassion. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 81 - Cai’er, the blind girl (III)

Chapter 81: Caier, the blind girl (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales As Long Hao Chen spoke, his left hand was holding his sword, and his right hand was about to take the bamboo cane in this young girls hand. The young girl was motionless, when suddenly, she felt a chill,ing from the bottom of her heart as Long Hao Chen was standing by her side, and she almost subconsciously let go of her bamboo cane. Theres no need. The young girls voice was somewhat cold, but it was not the same coldness as the one exuded by Ye Hua. Ye Hua was only cold on the outside, while being warm inside, but Long Hao Chen felt that this girl was almost as cold as death itself. It seemed as if she wasnt the slightest bit alive. Let me help you please, I will escort you home. Long Hao Chen tried to make his voice as gentle as possible. I told you theres no need. The young girl coldly said, continuing to walk forward. Long Hao Chen stood in ce, looking at the figure of this young girl that became gradually more and more distant. He suddenly felt depressed from the bottom of his heart, without knowing whether it was because he didnt give some help to this young girl, or for some other reason. Slowly shaking his head, Long Hao Chen sighed from the bottom of his heart, as the forget me not ring on his finger emitted a bluish glitter, storing his Radiant Shield and his Light Sword. He headed back to his hotel withrge strides. But at the moment he stored his weapon, the difficult girl in front of him suddenly stopped, and turned back. Hey. The young girl called out with a calm voice, the previous coldness that used to fill her voice seemed to have weakened. Long Hao Chen took the same direction as her; he was about to pass through her position, as he heard her call him out and instantly stopped his steps. The young girl lifted up her right hand, pointing it at Long Hao Chen, Can you escort me for a little while please? Long Hao Chen was dazed by her sudden change of behaviour, as he instantly replied: Yeah. As he spoke, he lifted up his own left hand, holding the young girls little white hand. This young girls hand was quite soft; this softness was quite simr to that of tofu soaked in water and her five slender fingers seemed as if they were sculpted from jade. Grasping her palm, he felt a mild and warm sensation. Long Hao Chen had never felt such a cozy feeling in the past. On the other side, when the young girl held Long Hao Chens hand, her soft and tender fingers lightly rubbed the forget-me-not ring in his hand. Long Hao Chens face was quite red; he had indeed already reached the age of the first awakening of love. As he was holding the young girls soft hand, his heartbeat unconsciously elerated. The young girl was wearing her veil, so he couldnt see the current expression on her face, but at the instant she touched his forget-me-not ring, she tightly clenched her other hand, bracing her delicate body all of a sudden. Because of this peculiar change in Long Hao Chens heart, his perception had declined. Unexpectedly, he didnt even notice the subtle changes in this young girls mood. Where do you live?Long Hao Chen restrained with difficulty his hearts emotions, as he asked the young girl. The young girl replied: 250 meters forward, then 125 meters after turning on the right and finally 66 meters after turning on the left, and well have arrived. Long Hao Chens heart skipped a beat. It wasnt because he was astonished by the fact this girl knew these distances so urately, but because he felt really pitiful for her. To know these distances so precisely, how much effort did she have to put forth? Instantly, he felt as if the softest ce in his heart had been stirred up. Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the girls hand, slowly advancing forward. The two of them quietly advanced; their speed was slow, but without knowing why, Long Hao Chen felt reallyfortable, deep inside. This was the first time he walked hand in hand with a girl; despite the fact that it was to help her, he had a kind of desire to keep walking while holding this hand forever. The young girls attitude was quite cold, but she was calm, smoothly and steadily advancing, she simply blindly followed Long Hao Chen, as her purple-colored hair was being brushed by the wind, Long Hao Chen felt something akin to a gentle feeling from her. You, whats your name? The young girl suddenly asked. Eh? Long Hao Chen was surprised, and slowly shifted his sight on this young girls face. Despite the fact that he knew that she was blind, he felt at this moment quite shy. My name is Long Hao Chen, and you? I am Caier. The young girl answered quietly; no one else than Long Hao Chen could hear her quiet voice. What a beautiful name. Caier, do you live in Holy City? Caier lightly shook her head, replying: I live in a town in the east side of the Alliance. It is not here. This time, I came to handle a few matters. Long Hao Chen frowned slightly, remarking: And the people from your family? How can they be at ease when youre out on your own? Caier calmly answered: I can take care of myself. Seeing her eyes that didnt contain the slightest emotion, Long Hao Chen felt that his heart was choking. He waspletely speechless. Whats up with you? Caier didnt hear Long Hao Chens voice for long, and turned to his direction, somewhat surprised. Long Hao Chen calmly shook his head, Nothing. He blurted out these words, practically without thinking. He wanted to be considerate when speaking to her, but in the end, he could not control himself. He had neither this kind of ability nor this kind of qualification, and in addition, it was too bold for him. And deep inside, the sympathetic feelings he had for thisdy who had lost her sight, Caier, had evolved. Caier halted her steps, and Long Hao Chen, who was trying to suppress his inner feelings, stopped as well. Whats going on? Long Hao Chen looked at her. Caier said: I arrived. Long Hao Chen was startled; he discovered that as he was apanying Caier, she had be the one who took the lead. I am so sorry, I Long Hao Chen embarrassedly said. Caier calmly shook her head, her hand slowly separating from his, Thank you. Long Hao Chen raised his head to take a look, this was a hotel as well, and it was very close to the one he resided in. Ill take you inside. Long Hao Chen said. Caier frantically shook her head, No need, I can go by myself. Long Hao Chen scratched his head, Good bye. Be careful on the way. He was fully aware that Caier couldnt see, but he still waved his hand to her, before heading to the hotel, leaving her. Caier didnt return directly to the hotel. She calmly stood there, at the ce where Long Hao Chen left her, and her lips secretly drew out an arc from behind her veil. It is really him. This idiot! Right! After so many years, how could he recognize me? And at that time, I had lost my basic ability to speak, although now, its my vision that is lost. Oh, Long Hao Chen, Long Hao Chen! She had firmly kept this name in her mind before her hand was tightly grasped by Long Hao Chen. Making use of her blue-colored bamboo cane, she headed back to her hotel. Long Hao Chen was back in his room, but the appearance of this young girl was deeply engraved in his mind. Even as he was seated crossed-legged, he didnt manage to enter the meditative state at all. It appears that my choice to turn into a Guardian Knight was really right: in this world, a lot of people need protection. Long Hao Chen sighed lightly before eating one of the pills Lin Xin gave him. Calming his mind, he slowly entered the meditative state. Like that, the first day of the Demon Hunt Selections preliminary contest started. And when Long Hao Chen headed back to his hotel, even morepetitorspeted vigorously in regards to these preliminaries. After the first day of thepetition, half of the people had already left, eliminated from thepetition. In the Mage Temples stadium, Lin Xin was resting on a seat, looking at the ongoingpetition. He wasnt the slightest bit nervous, and seated there, he observed the surroundingpetitors. The ce he chose was in the first row. There were two people beside him, a male and a female. You two, would you have interest in some pills? Lin Xin smiled and turned towards the two, asking this question. These two young mages looked at him with doubtful looks, showing cautious expressions *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 82 - Cai’er, the blind girl (IV)

Chapter 82: Caier, the blind girl (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin showed a faint smile, Hey you two, nice to meet you, my name is Lin Xin. Ie from Aimei City. The three of us are all at the fifth step, so lets be good friends. Anyway, considering our strength, entering the top ten shouldnt be a problem to any of us. Besides my outwards appearance of mage, I also happen to be an alchemist. Look, these are the pills I made. As he spoke, Lin Xin took out a crystal bottle from his bosom, and his astute eyes stared at them. He was inwardly thinking this: _Big Brother has drugs, hes without equal in the whole world!_ Priest Temple Stadium. _Ping._ The heavy magical staff in Sima Xians hand waspletely overwhelming, ruthlessly smashing his opponent, as his [Sacred Hammer] directly smashed his opponent head on. I concede. His opponent was a youth whose face had already be pale, looking with disbelief at Sima Xian, You, are you really a priest, or are you a warrior? Referee, this is unfair. Regardless of whether it was the people in the priests resting area, or the seniors in the tform of the stadium, everyones faces were filled with disbelief. If I dont concede, I will be smashed to death. The [Sacred Hammer] was slightly sunken down. I, I concede Sima Xian retrieved the staff in his hand, andyer uponyer of the ground let out a muffled explosion, as the referees face changedpletely. Sima Xian touched his own bald head, without heading back to the rest area yet. Warrior Temple Stadium. Chen Chen stood there with an agonized face, he simply couldnt believe what had just happened. Although he didnt feel extremely confident in his own abilities and didnt have much hope, after suffering such a crushing defeat in the first round, how could he feel at ease? More importantly, he lost against a Shield Warrior! It wasnt that he couldnt break through the opponents defense, or couldnt attack him, but he had already conceded after merely three moves. The Shield Warrior Chen Chen was facing was a young girl. She was roughly 1.7 meters tall, her ck hair wasbed neatly in a ponytail, and she looked tall and thin. The space between her eyebrows made her look quite threatening. If it was only in terms of outwards appearance, who would have thought that this slender girl would be a warrior? But beside her, her shield was 1.8 meters high, 1.2 meters wide, and looked just like arge tower shield. And it was her only weapon, a heavy shield that didnt seem any lighter than 250 kg. Just a moment ago, as she faced Chen Chen, her arms moved freely and effortlessly, flying up and down without problem. On the tform of the Warrior Temple Stadium, an elder that seemed full of power and grandeur remarked,pletely dumbstruck, Is this girl a Shield Warrior or a Berserker? Eh, no, she looks rather like an Axe Warrior, did you see, just now, her tower shield was employed just like a heavy axe. Who was actually able to raise such a little freak? The Demon Hunt Selections first day of preliminariessted untilte night and had concluded. Thest ones to finish werent actually the Warrior Temple that was the most popted, but instead the Mage Temple. After the first round of knock-outpetition ended, each judge from the Great Temples were seated and discussing their observations, more precisely, the most freakishpetitors were especially numerous this year. It was only the first day, but a great part of them were out of the ordinary. Reportedly, on the side of the Spiritual Temple, to everyones surprise, there was a fourth step summoner that used an unknown method to summon an enormous Three Headed Hell Dog of the eighth step, causing their opponent to faint. Only, the elite youths of the Six Great Temples didnt have the mood to examine the information. Instead, each and every one of them simply headed back to their dwelling ce to rest. The preliminaries were simply a knockoutpetition. More importantly, it was a continuouspetition. No matter when your first match concluded on the first day, you would have to keeppeting on the second day. It also tested the ability of thepetitors to recover their energy. Faint streams of golden air were rotating around, emitted by the three milky-white foot of the Spiritual Stove and were bing gradually more and more bright. Just like a tiny thread, the faint golden internal spiritual energy was unceasingly circting and rotating around his bones, spreading around his whole body. It seemed as if a golden gloss had passed through his whole body. Long Hao Chen had been cultivating for a full day since returning yesterday morning. In this cultivating state, he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, replenishing his body, and decreasing his need for food. He had only eaten a bit in the evening of the previous day. Apart from this short time, he had spent all his time cultivating from morning to night. Stirred up by the medicines, the growth speed of Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy seemedpletely stunning. After a single day, his internal spiritual energy had been increased by at least 20 levels. Going at such a speed, hed break through the fifth step in at most ten days. Of course, a bottleneck should appear right before the fifth step, and it would be hard to say how long it would take to break through it. From his first cultivation to this moment, by relying on his physique of a Scion of Light, Long Hao Chen had never encountered a real bottleneck. Hao Chen, we should depart. With knocking sounds on the door, Li Xins voice could be heard from outside. The golden light vanished, together with the white light from his chest. Long Hao Chen was awake from his cultivation state, I aming. Opening the door, Long Hao Chen looked at Li Xin, who was excitedly smiling. Sis, you won yesterday, right? Long Hao Chen immediately guessed the reason of her excitement. Li Xin nodded her head, I won, and effortlessly. Only, I didnt win as quickly as you. Lin Jia Lu also passed through this first round. Pity, though, Chen Si and Chen Chen were Long Hao Chen was rmed, Eldest Brother Chen and Second Brother Chen both lost? Li Xin softly sighed, answering: Thepetition within the Warrior Temple is more fierce and intense than ours. Almost all those who are capable ofpeting are fourth ranked powerhouses, so breaking through this obstacle is easier said than done. Lets go, we should grab something to eat. Lets try our best together during the second round of thepetition that will take ce today. Only thirty people will be left after this. Each round ofpetition will be even more challenging than the previous one. Lil bro, you cant be careless. You must rush into the top ten. After eating simple food, and joining up with Ye Hua, the group of three went once again to the Alliances Great Stadium. Ye Hua gave Long Hao Chen a deep look, secretly nodding. This kid had been cultivating nonstop since he returned on the previous day, otherwise, he wouldnt be able to release such an imposing vital energy. He hoped that his luck today would be as good as that of the previous day so that he could have an early fight. After passing through thepetition of the first day, the number of knightspeting was going to be once again reduced by a half. Although the number of people had decreased, the atmosphere had clearly be more tense. After thepetition of the previous day, the young talents that werepeting saw the cruelty of thispetition, and all of them cautiously watched the otherpetitors, their potential future opponents. After all, no one could predict what the results of the lottery would be. On the previous day, Long Hao Chen was the first one to appear on stage, and as a result, the participating knights were especially cautious against him. Long Hao Chen observed as well, but he only noticed a single person. In the lounge, Long Hao Chen noticed this knight. It was a youth that seemed to be about 20 years old. This youth was quite tall: he was at least 1.9 meters tall, he had wide shoulders and a wide back, and short golden hair that stuck up like a long needle of steel. He had a handsome appearance and was extremely manly. His facial lines looked as sharp as a chisel. He didnt wear any armor, but instead, wore only a ck outfit. Entering the lounge, he directly sat down on the central seat of the first row. What a calm demeanor! Long Hao Chen was secretly in awe. This youth looked like he was only 20 years old, but he gave the impression that he was as steady as a mountain. In particr, his stoic look kept his state of mind hidden. Sitting perfectly straight, he didnt move in the slightest. He stood there,pletely immobile. Teacher, who is that person? Long Hao Chen asked Ye Hua at his side in a low voice. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 83 - An Alarming Sword (I)

Chapter 83: An rming Sword (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Looking at that youth, Ye Hua also showed an impressed demeanor, I dont recognize him, but I am sure hes at the fifth step. In ordance to the rules of the selection, onlypetitors at the fifth step can sit on the first row. This time, there are a total of four people at the fifth step from our Knight Temple. He should be among them, as he came to look at the fights, unlike the other three, even though fifth step fighters are exempt from the participating in the first two rounds. This person is frightening, youd better pray not to meet him during thepetition. Hearing his teachers words, Long Hao Chens look gradually changed, bing as sharp as a knife. His look was previously gentle, and normally, this change would only ur when he held a weapon. But at this moment, his stubborn self had been aroused. Steadily and sharply, Long Hao Chen instantly became an unsheathed sharp sword. Teacher, I want to challenge him.Long Hao Chen said in a low voice. Ye Hua was startled. As he was thinking about what to say, this seated ck d youth seemingly noticed Long Hao Chens gaze, and slowly turned around. And at the moment he saw Long Hao Chen, his eyes immediately filled with astonishment. However, it wasnt known whether he was astonished by Long Hao Chens age or his handsome appearance. Slowly raising up his head, a deep nce suddenly burst forth; his look was full of fighting spirit. Long Hao Chen stood there without moving, but his eyes werent weakening the slightest bit. The two peoples gazes intersected, as if arousing sparks. The corners of the ck-d youths mouth gradually drew an arc, and while facing Long Hao Chen, he moved his lips. He immediately turned back after this. What is he saying?Li Xin asked, perplexed. Long Hao Chen answered in a low voice, He is saying that he is waiting for my challenge. Taking a deep breath, Long Hao Chen slowly sat down. In this instant, he only felt that his innermost being had been igniting, bing as ming as a fireball. Basically, aftering to Holy City, it was the first time his fighting spirit had been aroused so much. His mental capacity was innately different from ordinary peoples, making his perception exceptionally good. He could clearly feel that this ck-d youth was powerful, extremely powerful; he seemed even more formidable than Ye Hua. And as this pressure filled his heart, Long Hao Chens fighting spirit was bing stronger and stronger. At this time, the same vigorous voice as the previous day could be heard from the tform. After the first day ofpetition, only half of thepetitors remain. In yesterdayspetition, somepetitors didnt lose in terms of fighting capabilities, but they lost to themselves. Be careful, if one is careless in the battlefield, he will not only lose, but will also be unable to move forward. Therefore, I hope that you will be able to learn from your defeats. No loser is pathetic, and only one person can be the winner. Thepetition of this second day will still be a knockoutpetition, as before. Start. An enormous golden ball appeared little by little atop the dome, instantly drawing everyones attention. Number changed very quickly as all thepetitors became tense. Quickly, two numbers appeared in the air. Immediately, two knights appeared on the battlefield, and the contest began anew. Today, Long Hao Chen wasnt as lucky as yesterday; after three draws in a row, neither his number nor Li Xins appeared. Long Hao Chen stood there, motionless. An indiscernible light was twinkling in his body. Seated not far way was Gui Wu who was disdainfully curling his lips, What use is there to rub your spear before the battle begins? To meditate here in spite of everything, he really doesnt fear identallyunching magic, wasting his internal spiritual energy. Gui Ying coldly shot a nce at his son, I am starting to pray that you dont meet him, it would really be for the best. Gui Wu protested, Papa, how can you be impressed by another, drowning your own sons ambition. His strength is not bad, but he doesnt have a mount after all, I am not as foolish as his opponent from yesterday. Gui Yings face became an ugly sight to behold, Your talent is not bad, but you are too impatient. It is my fault, I pampered you too much when you were young. No one can be sessful because of sheer luck. In such circumstances, even if I let you meditate, would you manage to do so? Gui Wu became silent , and rightly so! This stadiums atmosphere was quite enthusiastic, and full of pressure as well. How could he possibly calm his heart enough? However, this youth managed to do so. Gui Ying was staring at Long Hao Chens arm. During the fight of the previous day, he clearly saw Long Hao Chen use [Power Storing] and [Divine Obstruction], two great secret skills. A Heritage Ring, this youngster definitely had some background. And considering Ye Huas cultivation level, he fundamentally couldnt possess a Heritage Ring. A skill like [Divine Obstruction] was something Ye Hua himself couldnt use. In fact, from a young age, Long Hao Chen was capable of entering cultivation state like that, relying not only on his innate talent, but also on his great efforts and his willpower that were stronger than normal peoples. A single persons innate talent wasnt so frightful, but also a person who had innate talent and perseverance at the same time was. Simply said, Long Hao Chen had followed his fathers instruction in regards to his cultivation for five years. He had never slept for real and all his time was devoted to cultivation instead. It could be said that during these five years, he basically never really rested. Regardless of whether it was his fathers requirements or theter requirements of Ye Hua, this Asura teacher, he fulfilled all of them. This hellish training trained his willpower to an astonishing level. His innate talent was being gradually coaxed out and made use of during this process. #98, #46, enter. Apanying this call, these words disyed in a gold-color, and the new match was about to be carried out. Li Xin was shaken; standing straight, she took a deep breath, and started takingrge strides, heading forward. Today, she appeared on stage earlier than Long Hao Chen Upon hearing this number, Long Hao Chen who was standing at the same ce, silently cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, ending his short meditation. Li Xins opponent was a knight with a sturdy build. As soon as thepetition, or more precisely the second day of the preliminary contest restarted, there was no one who judged the opponents by their external appearance. Despite the fact that he was facing a female knight, this sturdypetitor #46 was extremely cautious. The referee immediately made a sound to start the match, and the two parties simultaneously summoned their mounts. Rose Unicorn, no matter where she was summoned, would be the focal point. Not only because shes a powerful magical beast, but also because shes a bright and beautiful creature. Under the red-colored Rose Unicorn, Li Xins beautiful face stood out even more. Leaping on her horse, her swords were inclined toward the ground on either side. A rich golden radiance of light was emitted from her holy internal spiritual energy, as the Rose Unicorn emitted a red radiance, rapidly fusing together with it. Mh? Seeing Li Xin seated on her Rose Unicorn mount, Long Hao Chen let out a gasp of surprise. Ye Hua gave Long Hao Chen a suspicious look, Whats going on? He saw the change in his disciple. His perception was particrly astonishing, he could notice little changes that ordinary people would never find out. Long Hao Chen said in a low voice: It looks like Big Sis Rose evolved. Ye Hua was startled, You mean, sixth step? Long Hao Chen calmly nodded. He revealed an excited expression: the fact that Rose evolved to an early sixth step beast implied that Li Xin had better odds to break through the top ten. Ye Hua looked pleasantly surprised as well. The day before, after Long Hao Chen left, he watched all the others matches, and although a lot of potentially very powerful mounts appeared, they were all young ones, there wasnt a single magical beast that had broken through the sixth step. A sixth step magical beast was equivalent to a fifth step human powerhouse! *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 84 - An Alarming Sword (II)

Chapter 84: An rming Sword (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Li Xins opponent waspetitor #46. His face changedpletely upon seeing the Rose Unicorns face that seemed to be emitting red sparks. His magical beastpanion was an extremely imposing Austere Frost Bear. After maturing, the Austere Frost Bear would turn into a magical beast of the sixth step, and it wouldnt be long before it became a full grown adult. It was roughly 1.5 meters tall and looked small and cute. Judging by its appearance, it was a beast that was approximately at the middle-rank of the fourth step. _Cha_ , Li Xin let out a warcry, her hands holding her two swords, while the Rose Unicorn below her immediately charged like a red lightning bolt towardspetitor #46. #46, still shocked, took arge stride forward. The shield in his left hand was covered in the white glow of [Holy Filter Shield]. Sternly and calmly, #46 stood beside his Austere Frost Bear. With a smug look on its face, it released a blue light and immediately erected a little [Ice Wall] before him. Li Xin was madly charging, her pair of swords lifted high in the sky, spreading gold-colored light all around. Looking at her current appearence, she was like a hero that had made many great aplishments in his life. #46splexion immediately became grim. The golden ray was rushing at him uninterruptedly as he relied on various Guardian Knight abilities to enhance himself. He clearly knew that when facing the Rose Unicorn, he had basically no way to win in terms of speed. If he couldnt block Li Xins first attack, he would have no chance to win this fight. Three thick ice spikes appeared from underground, trying to obstruct the assault of the Rose Unicorn. It was at this very moment that the vast difference in terms of abilities between the two magical beasts appeared. Roses legs turned into a red blur, and facing the flurry of ice thorns appearing from the ground, she jumped above without the slightest hesitation. These ice thorns that jutted up from the ground were, without exception, melted by the red-hot me attribute released by her body, and had absolutely no effect at all. Right after #46 concentrated all of his power to try to block Li Xins next attack, Rose suddenly leaned in and swept to his nk. This Competitor #46 waspletely bbergasted, he didnt understand what Li Xin was trying to do. However, this Austere Frost Bear of his was quite smart, and as its figure shone, it immediately avoided her, dodging to the other side while not letting Li Xin have the opportunity to attack. Rose rushed from her originally distant location, and the red light on her body kept amplifying, gradually turning the spiritual energy released by Li Xin into a gold-red color. From the lounge, Long Hao Chen revealed a faint smiling expression, before shutting his eyes once again, thinking to himself, _Big Sis, youve be quite crafty! Theres no point in watching more of this match, I should resume meditating._ Joint spell. Turning around and dashing out, Li Xinpleted her joint spell with Rose. Before, she had relied on the same mode to defeat the Dark-Green Dual-ded Demon. Without a doubt, this mode of hers was her most powerful asset. Especially now that Rose had evolved, the power of the joint spell had increased by a wide margin. Ye Huas face revealed a rare smile, _When did this girl, Xiner, be so crafty?_ Not only did she give herself the time to prepare this joint spell, she also wasted the spiritual energy the opponent had spent on his all-out defense. At this point, there wasnt any mystery for the oue of this match. As fast as lightning, the Rose Unicorn turned back and kept running. Competitor #46 was on the verge of crying: he had already used all his defensive skills, and their effects had already dissipated. His spiritual energy was pitifully consumed in vain. Launching out ten ice spikes, the Austere Frost Bear gave Li Xinspanion a furious look, waving his bear paw. It was too bad, these ice spikes didnt have any effect. They vaporized and disappeared upon entering the range of the red-gold light emitted by Li Xin and her Rose Unicorn. [Thorny Charge], [Instant st Cross Cut], [Lightning Thrust], [Light Thorn] Retribution Knights most tyrannical offensive abilities instantly broke out, continuously aimed at #46 one after another. Under the joint spell mode, Li Xin already possessed a cultivation level of the fifth step, so in addition to her dual attribute of light and fire, her offense was extremely overwhelming. Although in terms of raw power, thispetitor #46 was stronger than Li Xin, he had no way to fight back at all. A Retribution Knight had the advantage in thispetition. Under her joint mode, Li Xin was even more dominant. She continuously broke the opponents defense, and when the pair of swords in her hands started to sh against the Austere Frost Bear and #46, Roses charge suddenly stopped. Staring full of envy at the Rose Unicorn facing him, #46 helplessly said: I lost, but the one that outdid me was your mount, not you. Li Xin nodded at him, and taking back her two swords, she performed a knight salute before turning back. This was the ssic case in which the mount carried the fight. Regardless of whether it was in terms of speed, offensive power or defensive power, a Rose Unicorn surpassed an Austere Frost Bear by far. Li Xin perfectly exploited Roses superiority to crush her opponent. #97, #99, next fight. As Li Xin just left the stadium, upon hearing these two numbers, her heart skipped a beat, and she gave an astonished look to Long Hao Chen at the lounge. Ye Hua disyed an ugly smile, coldly looking at the nearby Gui Ying. Gui Wu was close to Long Hao Chen and Li Xin when checking in, so without the slightest hesitation, thepetitor #99 ought to be him! Gui Ying looked at Ye Hua, as his eyes disyed a strong look, No matter how, theres no way for you to win in normal circumstances. Remember to use this thing I gave you. I will definitely win. Gui Wu was somewhat sinisterly looking at Ye Hua and Long Hao Chen, who were not far from his position, but Long Hao Chen didnt even nce at his direction. Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua were looking at each other, with Long Hao lowering his head. He didnt promise anything to his teacher, but let Ye Hua see the fighting spirit in his two eyes. Summoning the Radiant Shield and the Light de from his forget-me-not ring, Long Hao Chen headed out to the stadium with big strides, full of determination. But Gui Wu was a bit faster than him, going into the stadium first. Tightly pursuing his lips, he red at Long Hao Chen. The match may now begin. With themand of the referee, Long Hao Chen did the same as before as a sort of fog of light was circling around his body, [Storing Power]. Gui Wu coldly smiled while quickly summoning his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm. His left hand held a circr bright shield with red patterns on it, and his right hand grasped thence he used that day against Sima Xian. To break the skill [Storing Power], the best method was to immediatelyunch an attack, preventing the [Storing Power] from beingpleted. But Gui Wu came up with another choice. His mount, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm ran to the ce at the furthest distance possible from Long Hao Chen. [Storing Power] was in reality a process that consisted ofpressing spiritual energy. Afterpression, spiritual energy could bring out a formidable offensive power. Naturally, the consumption whenpressing spiritual energy was as great as the amplification. The reason why this skill didnt have much interest was because the spiritual energy afterpression wasnt very stable, so even if [Storing Power] waspleted, a skill had to be used within three seconds, and if not, the previouslypressed spiritual energy would be scattered quickly. Not only would hispressed spiritual energy be unusable, all the spiritual energy consumed by [Storing Power] would also go to waste. The whole stadium was 200 meters long, and Gui Wu was retreating to the stadiums edge, increasing the distance between Long Hao Chen and him to roughly 130 meters. Within three seconds, could he cover a distance of 130 meters? _I will let you waste your [Storing Power], using up your spiritual energy for nothing_ , thought Gui Wu. A cold sneer was faintly drawn on Gui Wus lips, who was standing behind, holding a circr shield in his left hand and thence in his right hand. Slowly lifting them up, both the shield and thence were taking and sending out arge quantity of golden light. The armor on his body also issued an intense bright luster. He just stood at that ce, calmly waiting for his opponent. In this kind of circumstance, Long Hao Chens apparent goal would be to immediatelyunch an attack using thepressed energy. However, what he actually did was against all expectations. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 85 - An Alarming Sword (III)

Chapter 85: An rming Sword (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Standing there, as deeply concentrated as in thest fight, Long Hao Chen calmly used [Storing Power], locking it onto the opponent. Since the preliminaries had started, this was the most peaceful fight of the wholepetition: both sides didnt attack, but motionlessly confronted each other. The mood wasnt softened either, because even if there was no confrontation, the referee didnt intervene at all; [Storing Power] couldnt persist forever after all. Once his spiritual energy was used up, thispressed energy would have to be used, and Long Hao Chen would be forced tounch an attack. But as time passed, Gui Wus face became more and more anxious. Long Hao Chen was storing power as before, and two entire minutes had passed. As everyone knew, the longer [Storing Power] was used, the more mighty it was, but the spiritual energy consumption would increase as well. To counter this skill used by Long Hao Chen, Gui Ying gave his son a piece of advice, giving him a detailed breakdown of how [Storing Power] worked. Under the fifth step, each minute of [Storing Power] would consume 500 units of spiritual energy. Two minutes had already passed, so basically, Long Hao Chen had alreadypressed at least 1000 units of spiritual energy. _Is he insane? Dont tell me hes preparing an attack. But at such a distance, how is that possible?_ Gui Wus heart was full of iprehension, and he was extremely anxious. But, at this very moment, he couldnt stop halfway. He had already lost his chance to interrupt Long Hao Chens [Storing Power]. 1000 units of spiritual energy stored! He could alreadyunch an incredibly powerful attack, and all Gui Wu could do was to wait, as he didnt dare approach Hao Chen. Time slowly passed, as in a nightmare. Three minutes, already three minutes. It was not only Gui Wu, but each and every one of thepetitors in the lounge had almost stopped breathing. 1500th spiritual energy level? That was already the level of a seventh ranked Grand knight, a power that no youth younger than 18 years-old could possibly have. More importantly, Long Hao Chens [Storing Power] was still ongoing! When four minutes had passed, the whole lounge was already in an uproar. Gui Wu couldnt help but re at the referee, loudly saying, Its impossible, he cannot have possibly reached the fifth step 2000th spiritual energy level implied that he was an Earth Knight, but also implied a liquified spiritual energy. But the spiritual energy he had released up to now hadnt shown any signs of liquefaction. Still, his [Storing Power] had already persisted for 4 whole minutes! It had far exceeded Gui Wus expectations. How could he know that the same skill, when relying on a physique of Scion of Light, was consuming a lot less of Long Hao Chens spiritual energy? Gui Wu stood there, looking at the referee, shouting loudly that _ITS IMPOSSIBLE_ , as Long Hao Chen suddenly started to move. His right feet loudly stepped on the ground as he rushed with all his strength, just like a golden arrow that was beingunched at Gui Wu. The three seconds of [Storing Power] had started at this very moment. Because he was in the middle of questioning his predicament, Gui Wus reaction was slightly dyed. Regardless of the difficulty, he had to resist this attack. Resisting it was akin to winning, as Long Hao Chens spiritual energy was already wasted up to its limit. A scarlet light shone from his shield, and a red light directly entered his Scarlet Shelled Earthworms body. In a split second, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm roared as it looked up at the sky. His eyes were colored in a crimson red, and his whole bodys aura instantly became tyrannical and chaotic. The shield Gui Wu held was equivalent to a piece of equipment at the Spiritual Tier, with a supplementary ability, [Blood Thirst]. Under the effects of [Blood Thirst], the Scarlet Shelled Earthworms attack, defense and speed were all instantly increased by ten percent for a whole minute. Meanwhile, thence in Gui Wus hand emitted a dazzling light. It was a Spiritual Weapon as well, with [Body Pration] as its supplementary ability. Immediately acting, Gui Wu instructed his Earthworm to go at the fastest speed possible. Charging at mad speed to theteral side, he was doing his utmost to pull open the distance separating him from Long Hao Chen, to waste time. His sole goal was to make his skill [Storing Power] go to waste, to make this matchs victory inevitably belong to him. In barely a second, Long Hao Chen had rushed 30 meters forward, and was currently only 100 meters far from Gui Wu. His right feet once again stepped energetically on the ground, and with the help of hispressed spiritual energy from the previous [Storing Power], he slightly changed direction, dashing towards Gui Wu even more rapidly. 35 meters, in the next second, he had actually covered 35 meters. The distance between Gui Wu and him had been reduced to 60 meters. There were 60 meters left, and Gui Wus face was already exposing a victorious smile. To knights below the fifth step, the limit distance of attack was only 15 meters. In thest second, no matter what happened, Long Hao Chen could never cover 45 meters of distance and enter the attack range. In addition to that fact, Long Hao Chen wasnt charging straight at him! _Peng_ , as Long Hao Chens left foot fell on the ground, a shallow hole appeared forcibly on the ground. Further elerating, he covered a distance of 40 meters almost instantly. In 3 steps, within 3 seconds, Long Haco Chen covered more than 100 meters. To a knight of the fourth step, this was a sprint exceeding all records. But at this very moment, he still had 30 more meters to cover, as he was madly dashing towards Gui Wu. 3 seconds passed, and the spiritual energy that he stored should be scattering. The word stupid appeared in the thoughts of almost all spectators. Even a part of the honorable seniors seated at a location far away from the tform thought the same. From their point of view, Long Hao Chen was going to be defeated without the slightest doubt. To choose such an offensive style, could it be that he was simply dumb? From the first row of the lounge, the ck d youth that was looking face to face with Long Hao Chen earlier had a puzzled look, and on his resolute face, his brows were wrinkling, as he murmured, What is he doing? _PingC_ At this very moment, Long Hao Chen used his actions to answer those who were questioning him. Taking a fourth step, he didnt even slow down one bit. _But, will this be of use?_ Every spectator wondered the same thing. [Storing Power]s spiritual energy was already scattering, so what if he charged? It would only make him the sandbag for his opponent. This time, Gui Wu didnt run, the Scarlet Shelled Earthworm stopped moving and suddenly lifted its head. Its tyrannical body was weing Long Hao Chens strike. Two golden halos blossomed one after another on Gui Wus body, and both were amplification skills of Guardian Knights. Thence in his hand thrust towards Long Hao Chen like a lightning bolt, and his round shield was ced before his chest. The current him had his face blossoming with a victorious smile, as he looked disdainfully at Long Hao Chen. And at the same time, Long Hao Chen who was rising in the air finally made his move. His sparkling Radiant Shield and his glittering Light Sword were heroically thrust forward. An iparably dazzling bright light shone upon the edge of the stadium, and a substantial golden de edge made of light wasunched. Gui Wu couldnt believe what he saw, as hisnce struck it. [Light Thorn], the first long range skill learned by knights. But Long Hao Chen fully used the potential of [Light Thorn], to the extent that this attack obviously outstrippedpletely the realm of [Light Thorns]. The substantial bright de edge even had the texture of real metal, and as it closed the distance, it seemed as imposing as if it could split the whole Earth open. _Hong_ The spear snapped in half, the shield was broken into pieces, the armor was destroyed and Gui Wu was sent flying It seemed as if Gui Wus body was hit head-on by a kind of enormous mad dragon, and together with his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, he was sent flying. They smashed ruthlessly against the protective mantle of light located above the stadium, before bouncing onto the ground. Gui Wu and the Scarlet Shelled Earthworms mouths simultaneously spit out blood. Including the referee, among the spectators, few were those who could clearly see what happened at the instant when the [Light Thorn] collided against Gui Wusnce. At that moment, a little change urred: the de edge of light simply struck Gui Wu directly, on his side. But thence didnt stop it the slightest bit. _Pu_ Long Hao Chen steadilynded on the ground, as the substantial bright light scattered slowly around him, ordingly. Looking at his face, it seemed that he didnt have the slightest changepared to his state at the beginning of the fight. 1. idiom ﻢ; it is hard to get off when riding a tiger. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 86 - An Alarming Sword (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In the lounge, Li Xin, who was standing, and had watched him this entire time, resolutely clenched her fists and waved them, He won, Hao Chen won! What a formidable strike! Ye Hua calmly told her, Sit down. Li Xin stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly sat down, quietly asking Ye Hua, Teacher, with such a high level of cultivation, it looks like Hao Chen wont be in danger this time. Can it be that he might even have a chance against _that guy_? Ye Hua gave her a nce, seeing that Li Xins look was brimming with excitement, he replied, If I am not guessing wrong, that guy should be concealing his strength right now. It is a tactic as well. As he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, and looked at Gui Yings direction. On the stadium, Gui Wu was still spitting out blood. Looking at his armor which had beenpletely broken, he lifelessly dered, Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could [Storing Power] not have been scattered earlier? Hes at the fifth step, hes definitely at the fifth step, he vited the rules of thepetition! The referee looked at Gui Wu and then turned towards Long Hao Chen, _Fifth step? Is he really at the fifth step? Such a young child?_ At this very moment, a vigorous voice echoed on the tform, This match has settled with the victory ofpetitor #97. Test his spiritual energy; if it is really at the fifth step, we will have him forfeit. Yes. The referee respectfully saluted him before making some gestures to instruct Long Hao Chen toe. Long Hao Chen nodded and followed the referee who moved ce. Gui Wu and his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm were naturally carried by staff members out of there. In the lounge. Gui Ying was sitting at the same ce, his face was blue one minute and red the next minute as he looked straight at Ye Hua. At this very moment, he was filled with agonizing pain. Each step Ye Hua took was akin to his feet violently trampling on his heart. This ce was filled with so many new talents, especially among young knights. From afar, he could clearly see that scene. But the one who lost was his own son. The bet, the bet Ye Hua unhurriedly approached Gui Ying, directing his ice-cold look at him, The bet, you lost it. Gui Ying ferociously clenched his teeth, standing upright and unafraid, Come. As a knight, he could lose a bet, but he could absolutely not show dishonest behaviour. Seeing the peaked ugly face he currently showed, Ye Hua loudly sighed, and spat out these words, A master for a day is a father for a life, once back, lets see him, I still have things to ask him. Leave first. You Gui Ying looked at Ye Hua,pletely with a nk face. He didnt p him at the face, ordingly to the bet. Ye Hua indifferently told him: You should thank Hao Chen, I was actually influenced by his good nature. Your sons injuries are not light. Gui Ying clenched his teeth and gave Ye Hua a perturbed look, with his five senses inplete disarray. With his foot heavily stamping on the ground, Ye Hua turned around. Turning around as well, Gui Ying headed to the location of the wounded Gui Wu, with a thought filling his mind: Teacher, in those days, you were in the wrong A short time after this match ended, a firm voice could be heard,ing from the tform, In the match betweenpetitors #97 and #99,petitor #97 has emerged the victor! An instruction was given without exnation. The order was to keep Long Hao Chens cultivation records secret, and to let allpetitors know that Long Hao Chen spiritual energy was under the 2000th level and that he had yet to reach the fifth step. On the tform, an elderly man was seated upright. He smiled with a pondering face and said: Hees from Hao Yue City, has an Inheritance Ring, his spiritual energy is at the 1803rd level. A ninth ranked Grand Knight whos only 14 years-old. It looks like another astonishing genius showed up in our Knight Temple. Pass this order, any information regarding #97 is to be sealed off. No information of him should ever be leaked out. In particr, his age. Eh, no, alter directly the information we have on him. Dere his age to be 18 years-old, and notify Hao Yue Hall to bring representatives on my orders. Yes. People in the rear naturally carried out his orders. As long as this child can smoothly mature, our Knight Temples ce among the Six Great Temples will definitely remain stable for the next century. What I am curious about is how high the innate internal spiritual energy of this kid is. And from whom he got his Inheritance Ring. Another elder seated beside him showed a smile and said: What a rare thing to see, this Saint Knight acting out of fondness. Can it be that you want to personally raise this child? The elder that was called the Saint Knight shook his head, still smiling, and replied, Demon Hunts are a better training than any kind of teachings. I wish for him to be capable to enter the top ten this time, to set earlier on his journey in the world of the Demon Hunts. Long Hao Chen went back to his lounge, silently looking at Ye Hua who was sitting at his side He once again became the focal point of the lounge. But he didnt pay attention to anyones look. He just sat, contemting with his head lowered. His fight with Gui Wu seemed quite thrilling, but what only Long Hao Chen knew was that nothing was left to luck; he had calcted everything beforehand. Gui Wu lost mainly because he relied too much on his fathers information about the skill [Storing Power]. Long Hao Chen possessed the physique of a Scion of Light, so any ability would show some slight changes when used by him. These changes include changes in power, a lower spiritual energy consumption, and a longer duration. After he used [Storing Power], the duration of the amplification was not three seconds, but four seconds. This difference of one second is what fated Gui Wu to this tragedy. This [Light Thorn] was the formidable result of more than 1500 units of spiritual energy belonging to Long Hao Chenpressed in it. And these 1500 units of spiritualpressed were equivalent to more than 2000 units of the spiritual energy belonging to an ordinary knight, contained in a single attack. There was no need to mention the fact that Gui Wu relied on two pieces of Spiritual Tier Equipment: even a regr Earth Knight would not necessarily be able to resist this attack. [Storing Power] was a skill that has little interest, but if enough time was given to umte the energy, the effects of this skill would be extremely frightening. A formidable skill using the equivalent of 2000 units ofpressed spiritual energy! It could be said that the previous strike of Long Hao Chen could match the power of the attacks of a Radiant Knight. The only difference was his spiritual energy was in a gaseous state instead of a liquid state. If not for Long Hao Chen holding back upon releasing his attack at thest moment, there would probably not be much left of Gui Wu. This was the first time Long Hao Chen had used [Storing Power] to such an extent. Consequently, he was contemting deeply, pondering over the positive and negative effects of using the strategy of [Storing Power]. During the time his spiritual energy was beingpressed, he could clearly feel that his spiritual energy was undergoing qualitative changes. In particr, in the area surrounding his Saint Spiritual Stove, the rotation speed suddenly plummeted, and he could see that the golden gloss that was emitted all around weakened by a huge margin. Spiritual energy liquefaction. Long Hao Chen clearly felt that this process was taking ce in him. For a powerhouse, regardless of his rank, during the time of breaking through, a moment of insight was extremely important. At present, Long Hao Chen grabbed this opportunity and was seated,pletely motionless, reflecting on his past experience. Ye Hua sat by Long Hao Chens side, and didnt ask him anything from beginning to end, and went as far as to prevent Li Xin from speaking to him. To this disciple of his, Ye Hua was full of envy. He had definitely gained some benefits from the previous fight. Teacher, I am going back to proceed with my cultivation., Long Hao Chen whispered at Ye Huas ear. Ye Hua nodded while looking at him, proudly patting his shoulder. Long Hao Chen still had the wonderful feeling that came with the insight he had a moment ago; he went as far as to forget to greet Li Xin, as he hurriedly moved away from the stadium. HuC Taking a deep breath, Long Hao Chen moved both of his hands rhythmically, imitating the changes in the internal spiritual energy flowing in his body. Grasp this chance, he definitely had to grasp this chance! Long Hao Chen was in ecstasy: he knew that theprehension of this concept was even more important than cultivating his internal spiritual energy to reach the 2000th level. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 87 - Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (I)

Chapter 87: Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Mh? He was about to head back to his hotel as quickly as possible, in order to cultivate and to meditate on his previous insight. But with a nce, not far ahead, he saw a blue bamboo cane lightly hitting the ground, making harmonious _du, du, du_ sounds. It was her! Long Hao Chens heart skipped a bit and instantly, his joy from the insight almost disappeared, and instead, a tingling and confused feeling filled his heart. Quickly advancing, Long Hao Chen called out in a low voice, Caier. Caier who was walking forward immediately stopped her steps, Long Hao Chen, is it you? Long Hao Chen had already arrived by her side, Its me. Caier faintly smiled. Although she was wearing a veil, as before, and her face couldnt be seen, Long Hao Chen was absolutely sure that she was currently smiling. Take me home, okay? She took once again the initiative to lift up her hand. Yeah. Long Hao Chen discovered to his surprise that his own hands, which were burning hot in the previous instant, had be cold because of the nervousness. He gently and cautiously held Caiers hand. It was as if he was afraid of being disrespectful towards her. Her hand was as soft as before, but this time, it also felt warm, and the cold atmosphere that was previously emitted by her body had disappeared. Long Hao Chen led her, still taking her hand, and they advanced little by little. They walked slowly, even more so than on the day before. At this very moment, his brain waspletely empty, and he didnt have a single thought rted to his cultivation. He only felt calm, full of eagerness, andpletely filled with a happy feeling. This tactile sensation gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure. Regardless of how slow they were, the road had an end. Whats more, Caiers dwelling was very close to the ce where they met up. Long Hao Chen went as far as to think, deep inside, _Why doesnt she live further away?_ We have arrived. Long Hao Chen stopped on his tracks. In his eyes, it could be seen that he was somewhat reluctant to part with her. Caier lightly retrieved her hand, Thank you. Long Hao Chen hastingly shook his head, but right after that, he suddenly realized that Caier could not see it. Right at this time, Caier quietly said, Tomorrow, I will have some matters to handle, so I will probably be a bitte. Will you still be willing to apany me back? Yeah. Long Hao Chen answered almost instantly. The next day, he will enter the third round of thepetition. In the Knight Temple, the number of people that were stillpeting was already reduced to thirty-something, and thepetition would definitely be finished quickly. Caier waved her hand in his direction, and with her bamboo cane touching the ground, she turned towards her hotel. This time, Long Hao Chen was continuously following her figure with his eyes until she disappeared from his field of vision. He really liked the feeling he had when he was together with this girl. Long Hao Chen, who had only been cultivating for five years straight, was quite ignorant in regards to emotions between males and females. He didnt even know what he was supposed to do. But just by thinking about the fact that he would be able to see her again on the next day, his heart was full of expectation. Back in the residence, Long Hao Chen sat cross-legged on his bed. This time, he wasnt as unsteady as on the previous day. Instead, he directly entered the state of meditation. His mind was calm. It could even be described as serene. In Long Hao Chens mind, cultivation had already be a kind of pleasure. He didnt know why it became like that either, all he thought was that he was influenced by Caiers special qualities. An insipid gold-colored fog was surrounding Long Hao Chens body, [Storing Power]. Surprisingly, he used the skill [Storing Power] in his own room. This time, because he didnt have to observe the opponent or fight, his spirit waspletely focused on observing the skill [Storing Power]. Long Hao Chen could clearly see that the internal spiritual energy within his body was passing through numerous different paths. With the rotations in spiral patterns in his chest, it seemed as if everything was frozen. It was no longer slowly rotating; it only calmly stopped there, like a gold-colored sharp cone. Like a silk thread, the spiritual energy was uninterruptedly circting. Arge amount of internal spiritual energy softly moved ordingly to a particr tempo. No matter how formidable the amount of surrounding spiritual energy in the external world was, the volume of cone-shaped energy that was rotating didnt change from beginning to end. Only its color would be even purer. Thats right, its the color. A mild gold color, this was the color of his own internal spiritual energy. And it became a bright gold color afterpression. On the surface of his body, changes of color appeared as well, because of thispression that urred within his body. In a split second, a new insight appeared in his mind. The gaseous and liquid states of the spiritual energy were actually due to a difference ofpression of the spiritual energy. Exactly! Liquid spiritual energy was in reality spiritual energy which had beenpressed to a certain extent. The main problem was how to keep this liquid state steady. As [Storing Power] proceeded, the gold-colored rotations also became more and more intense, and a gold-colored fog appeared once more, surrounding the Saint Spiritual Stove. Only, this time, Long Hao Chen didntpress 1500 units of spiritual energy before stopping, but went all-out,pressing all the spiritual energy in his body. He used [Storing Power] at its maximum might. It was apression with a duration of four minutes, but without a doubt, his spiritual energy had been consumed until thest drip. In fact his spiritual energy was only a bit higher than 1800, so with his external spiritual energy that was a little higher than 200, afterpleting thepression of 1500 units, there was already not much left. Long Hao Chen could clearly see that, closely around his Saint Spiritual Stove, a thin fog was undting. As his internal spiritual energy keptpressing, this fog gradually became thicker and thicker. One drop of gold-colored liquid after another appeared, starting to surround his Saint Spiritual Stove. And at this moment, from his originally milky-white-colored Saint Spiritual Stove, a faint white light was suddenly emitted. Ever since he obtained this spiritual stove, this was the first time Long Hao Chen discovered this phenomenon: as these drops of gold-colored liquid formed, a white glow appeared together with it, and simultaneously, the rotation around the Saint Spiritual Stove slowed down. This, this is At this very moment, Long Hao Chens body suddenly shook, all the spiritual energy in his body had already beenpressed, and the rotations violently elerated. Thepression reached his psyche. It was precisely because of Long Hao Chens mental capacity that Long Xing Yu dared include [Storing Power] among the skills unlocked at the fourth step, when he gave him the Heritage Ring. Taking a deep breath, Long Hao Chen stopped [Storing Power], letting the enormous quantity ofpressed spiritual energy to scatter ordingly. But he didnt end his observations at that, he watched the changes of his Saint Spiritual Stove, as calmly as before. This feeling was marvellous, Long Hao Chen feltpletely empty from inside, but in this state, his thinking was even quicker. The rotations in Long Hao Chens body showed gradual changes, before the immense quantity ofpressed spiritual energy began to scatter at a very quick pace. Immediately following, the fine drops of liquid around the Saint Spiritual Stove gradually dissipated. But Long Hao Chen clearly noticed that the droplets of gold-colored liquid surrounding the Saint Spiritual Stove were a lot slower to dissipate than his spiritual energy. Was this the benefit of the liquid state of the spiritual energy? Long Hao Chen was startled. Clearly,pared to the spiritual energy in its gaseous state, the liquid spiritual energy was a lot more pure. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 88 - Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (II)

Chapter 88: Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Gradually, these droplets of liquid disappeared, and Long Hao Chen waspletely emptied of his spiritual energy. There wasnt even the slightest bit of spiritual energy left inside him. In the moment when his internal spiritual energy finished scattering, Long Hao Chen felt a little shiver reverberate throughout his entire body. The air was filled with the holy element, and to his astonishment, the rotations in his body had elerated by a wide margin. It was as if silk threads were rapidly gathering around the Saint Spiritual Stove in his chest. Almost instantly, it took the shape of a small vortex, simultaneously recovering at least 10 units of internal spiritual energy. The rotations slowly resumed in that small vortex and his internal spiritual energy started to recover automatically. Long Hao Chen didnt do anything, but he was rapidly restoring his energy. Was it actually possible that after his internal spiritual energy had beenpletely depleted, there would be this kind of change? His internal spiritual energy was recovering at least twice as fast as normal! However, Long Hao Chen discovered that soon after, the recovery speed of his internal spiritual energy was gradually getting slower. After about half of his internal spiritual energy was restored, his recovery speed had returned back to normal. No, in reality, it seemed a little faster than his original recovery speed. Long Hao Chen slowly opened his eyes. It seemed that he had discovered a brand new type of practice method! Generally speaking, nobody, regardless of their vocation, would let their own internal spiritual energy bepletely exhausted. It was just too dangerous. As a result, the people who had experienced what Long Hao Chen had experienced earlier were few in number. Furthermore, his light element affinity was almost perfect, so his perception was far superior to ordinary people. What Long Hao Chen didnt know was that the skill [Storing Power] was originally an almighty tool of cultivation, a skill that was used as a training method to help spiritual energy to be transformed. And on this day, he discovered that pushing [Storing Power] to the limits was a training method as well. This training method had never before been recorded by the Temple Alliance. Perhaps it wasnt the best training method, but without a doubt, it was the best choice possible to make his spiritual energy break through from the gaseous state to the liquid state. What Long Hao Chen did next was to wait for his internal spiritual energy to recover to its peak, beforepletely using it up again through the means of [Storing Power]. Around the Saint Spiritual Stove, his internal spiritual energy constantly transformed from the gaseous state to the liquid state. Long Hao Chen also discovered that right after every attempt, right after his spiritual energy turned into a liquid state, his spiritual stove reacted. _Could it be that this was the evolution that father told me about? My Saint Spiritual Stove actually wants to evolve?_ Long Hao Chen could still clearly remember what his father told him in the past C that the Saint Spiritual Stove could evolve at most five times. But he still couldnt clearly remember what his father had said regarding how it would evolve. In reality, Long Xing Yu had not told him that. Up till now, there had never been someone who managed to make his Saint Spiritual Stove evolve five times. Li Xin and Long Hao Chen had smoothly passed through the second round, but Lin Jia Lu had been defeated. On her second match, she had beenpletely dominated, losing to a seventh ranked Grand Mage. Lin Jia Lu didnt n to remain in Holy City. On that evening, she bid farewell to Li Xin and left, together with Chen Si and Chen Chen. Because Long Hao Chen was still cultivating, Li Xin didnt disturb him with this matter. In the early morning, possibly due to the preliminaries entering their crucial stage, when Long Hao Chen and Li Xin followed Ye Hua and left the hotel, he could feel that the atmosphere of the whole Holy City had be somewhat tense. It was the third day of the preliminaries. It was already the middle stage, and there were a total of 138 participants left. The four powerhouses at the fifth step would finally appear for the first time in thepetition. In reality, there were, up to now, only 134 people. After two days of fiercepetition, only a few fortunatepetitors remained. In total, there were only 34 people left, so including the four powerhouses at the fifth step of the vocation, it made a total of 38 people. Today, among the 38 people, only 19 of them were going to remain. The next day of thepetition would be thest day of knockoutpetition. During these two days of preliminaries, from beginning to end, Ye Hua watched all the matches and gave some advice to Long Hao Chen. The matches that would take ce today were going to be even more intense. The fact that today, only the best 19 people could remain implied that among the top ten, there would be a vacancy. As for this vacancy, it would be filled after this day of thepetition. The one who would disy the most strength today would obtain this ce. After being approved by themittee, they would gain the right to enter the top ten, and grab this tenth ce. More importantly, on the previous day, the evaluationmittee announced that because the powerhouses at the fifth step didnt participate to the two previous rounds, this vacancy would not be obtained by them. Without the slightest hesitation, this decision was going to make todayspetition even more intense. Who would not want to seize this ce? Seizing it implied to be directly included in the top ten of the Temple Alliance, and also signified that one would obtain the qualification to enter a Demon Hunt Squad. This was an honor, and also a gateway to the most extreme door. In the history of the Demon Hunt Squads, there had never been a Demon Hunt Squad member that didnt surpass the sixth step. And in terms of fighting strength, Demon Hunt Squad members were a lot more powerful than other powerhouses of the same step. They were also the core force of the Temple Alliance. As one could imagine, members of the Demon Hunt Squads were an important resource to the Temple alliance. As such, they had a higher probability of bing one of the strongest of their generation. Up until recently, the overwhelming majority of the higher ups of the Six Great Temples, including those legendary powerhouses of the ninth step, came from Demon Hunt Squads. As members of the Demon Hunt Squads, afterpleting missions for ten years, they could choose to withdraw from their Demon Hunt Squad to hold a post in the Temple. They would then be heroes in the mouths of ordinary people. After entering the stadium, Long Hao Chen unconsciously looked forward. They hade early today, but a lot of thepetitors that won their second matches had already arrived. Long Hao Chen gave the fourth man in the first row a nce. The day before, this ck-d youth was seated on this seat as well, and had exactly the same attire. It was as if he didnt judge it necessary to wear his armor in advance. As for the three others, Long Hao Chen could only see their figure from behind. All of them were males. Actually, within vocations like knights or warriors, the quantity of females appearing was low. At the present time, in the Temple Alliance Stadium, among the 38 people who remained, Li Xin was actually the only female knight. Today, Long Hao Chen didnt conduct meditation because the count ofpetitors was quite low, so he was likely to be among the first ones. Everyone here, including Li Xin, was quite nervous. The overwhelming majority was silently praying, praying not to run into one of these four fellow seated in the first row. They were at the fifth step! Running into them was almost akin to lose the chance to enter the top ten. Only, Long Hao Chen was an exception. While sitting, the first thought that came to his mind was that after his match, he would get to meet Caier, and to send her back home. In that moment, Long Hao Chens mild-gold-colored eyes showed an excited look. As Li Xin saw Long Hao Chens unperturbed appearance, she secretly thought: _Hes only 14 years old! He still had a stable mind in such circumstances. I am 20-something years old, dont tell me that I cannotpare with Long Hao Chens attitude?_ As she shut her eyes, calming herself down, her nervousness started to disappear. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 89 - Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (III)

Chapter 89: Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Mage Temple Stadium. Twopetitors numbers were being disyed on the board, and everyone in the lounge of the Mage Temple waspletely silent. Among these two numbers, the first one that was disyed was #61, and the second one was #1. #1, the number 1 mage was about to appear on stage. In the preliminaries of the Six Great Temples selection, the first ten numbers were set aside forpetitors at the fifth step. If there werent enough ofpetitors at the fifth step, the other spots containing these numbers would remain vacant. The fact that #1 appeared implied that the first fight of the third day of thepetition would involve a Magic Leader of the fifth step. A young, stupefied girl stood up from the resting lounge, advancing in the field. She was precisely that unluckypetitor #61. In the first row, Lin Xin, wearing a red gown, slowly stood up. Thats right, thepetitor holding #1 was him. Lin Xin was tall and handsome. In particr, he had deep, green-colored hair that was especially bright. He wore a fire-red-colored gown releasing iparably rich fire elemental ripples. The present mages could clearly feel that this gown contained an important fire elemental power that leapt around excitedly. . Gold-colored inscriptions covered this mage gown, and when Lin Xin moved, they seemed to be almost alive. Lin Xin turned around, his handsbing his long hair, while facing the otherpetitors with a graceful smile. To everyones surprise, he was full of self-confidence, unhurried. The heartbeat of the nearby female mages clearly elerated. Lin Xin slowly walked away, and while heading to the field, a rich me element started to envelop his body, not because he was using some magic, but because of the effects the gown seemingly produced. Lifting his left hand, he made a quick motion forward, searching for the fire element in the air, and gathering it in his hand. One drop after another of fiery red liquid appeared, gradually forming a fantastic pure gold-colored magical staff. This magical staff wasnt big, but it appeared in a sh. It seemed as if itpletely filled the Mage Temples atmosphere with its aura of the fire attribute. Impressive, so that was the power of a Magic Leader? Thepetitors couldnt help but open their mouths in astonishment. Looking at Lin Xin who proudly entered into the stadium, the otherpetitors were full of envy and jealousy, but the main feeling that filled them was fear. Looking atpetitor #1, it was obvious that he was a mage of the fire attribute that had an incredible mastery in thews of fire. The young girl bearing #61 had a deathly paleplexion. She was really too unlucky! Not only did she draw a powerhouse at the fifth step as her opponent, but in addition, thispetitor at the fifth step before her eyes could possibly be the most powerful of those selected to participate to the Mage Temple qualifiers! She could clearly feel the fire attribute aura, so much that it frightened her to the extent of making her mentally unstable. The referee was an elder. ording to the rules of the Demon Hunt Selection, when apetitor at the fifth step appeared in a match, the referee had to be someone of at least the seventh step. He gave Lin Xin a nce, Stop showing off, before I announce the matchs start, you are not to use any skills, and that includes your equipments amplification abilities. As you wish. Lin Xin showed a faint smile, and the gold red glow in his hand vanished. After a little sigh, he thought aloud, _I originally didnt n on using my magical staff, but since things are this way, I shall use it._ Hearing him, theplexion of the young girl facing him became even uglier. She went as far as to curse this referee for meddling in other peoples business. He was already so powerful, but if in addition, if he used his magical staff, how much would his power grow? With a red glow, a magical staff quietly appeared in Lin Xins hand. Frankly speaking, it couldnt really be called a magical staff, but it was closer to a grotesque red-colored crystal. This crystal was 1.65 meters long, with its thickest location having a diameter like that of a fist. Its main body looked somewhat distorted, its appearance wasnt the slightest bit close to a standard magical staff, and there was nothing iid on it. However, the referee who was previously reprimanding Lin Xin actually started to stare at him with widely opened eyes, and involuntarily let out these words, Such a big fire cloud crystal, you want to use it to make a magical staff? Lin Xin faintly smiled, acting as if it was a very ordinary thing, I bought this a few days ago, but I didnt find the time to look for a jewelry master. This fire cloud crystal isnt top notch material, so its fire-condensing property is only at a passable grade. The refereesplexion instantly changed as he criticised him in his head, _This little kid is really quite wasteful._ A fire cloud crystal wasnt a magical crystal, but a kind of natural mineral. It contained an extremely pure and captivating fire element. It could only appear after being soaked in magma for more than 1000 years. Even an egg-sized fire cloud crystal, after being iid in any kind of magical staff, could turn it into a Spiritual Tier piece of equipment with a fire attribute. Lin Xin had such arge crystal in his hand so that even if it wasnt worked yet or used in abination with a magical array, his magical staff would at least double his spiritual energys might. This was something a piece of equipment under the Radiant Tier would have no way to aplish. If a powerful mage used a magical array inbination, this fire cloud crystal could even have a chance to turn into a piece of Legendary Tier equipment. A magical staff created using only fire cloud crystal, what kind of concept was that? Even with a lot of money, this kind of thing couldnt be bought, it would cost at least 50,000 gold coins at the market! Lin Xin was facing the young girl bearing the number 61, already showing a dull, lifeless look. She was a dual element mage who could use magic of the wind and fire elements. In her hands, she was holding a magical staff that had one fire cloud crystal as well as one wind spirit crystal, although both were of the size of a fingernail. Taking a look at his hand, before giving another nce to her own hand, the young girl bearing the number #61 really wanted to hide her own magical staff. Start the match. The referee resisted his inner thirst for this fire cloud crystal, and loudly shouted to announce the start of the match. Lin Xin smiled at the young girl facing him and said, Beautiful girl, how do you feel about working together? Magic spells have no eyes, and with a spell at the fifth or the sixth step, my control is not so great. It wouldnt be good if I were to hurt you. All of us are people from the Mage Temple, and as a man, I want to behave like a gentleman. Lets do it like this: It looks like you can also use magic of the fire attribute, so lets have a simple contest of fire control, if you can at least be at my level, then lets consider this as your win. Lets save ourselves from a dangerous and bloody match, and settle this amiably, how about it? Hearing his words, the young girl facing him let out a breath of relief. It was clear to everyone that the gap between her and Lin Xin was too wide to ovee. Hastily nodding, she felt extremely grateful, Please give me your guidance, senior. Lin Xin was calm and rxed; faint, tiny magic rings were surrounding his body, gently undting. It made him give off a very influential image. Looking at the girl, Lin Xin revealed a faint smile. Lifting up the fire cloud crystal in his hand, he slowly gave shape to a fiery red halo. This halo was fiery red-colored, but it didnt emit the slightest bit of fire. It was closer to a mark that appeared in the air, and its fiery red illumination was quite imposing. Liquid spiritual energy. Only spiritual energy in the liquid state could result in such an impressive sight. And looking at that sight, the control of this liquid spiritual energy had at least attained the level of perfection; it didnt belong to a neer who had just reached the fifth step. As Lin Xin returned the fire cloud crystal back to its starting point, this fire-red-colored halo becamepletely shaped, quietly floating on Lin Xins side, and suddenly, all the fire essence vanished, without the slightest amount left over. The fire-red-colored halo didnt show the slightest change in its color. The girlsplexion was alreadypletely pale, looking at this scene that she could by no way reproduce. The elemental essence surrounding him had so easily vanished? Let alone the control of his own spiritual energy that he showed earlier, in fact, Lin Xins halo currently didnt have the slightest w. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 90 - Possibility of Evolution for the Spiritual Stove (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Take a clear look, I am going to start now. Lin Xin showed her a gentle smile. _What? You havent begun yet?_ The young girl was already on the verge of copsing. Raising the fire cloud crystal once again, he lightly used it to hit the center of the halo. With a sort of _Ding_ metallic sound, the fiery red ring instantly dispersed, turning into countless fiery red dots, lighting the air and floating in midair, At this point, allpetitors were focused on Lin Xins body, but no one could guess what he was about to do. Transform. Lin Xin said in a low voice, and everyone could clearly see that the fire cloud crystal in his hand started to shiver. He seemed to be muttering a kind of incantation, but his chanting speed was just too fast, neither his opponent or the referee could clearly hear it. The fire motes in the air started to transform and grow. The strangest thing was that, during this process, they looked like flower buds that were slowly blooming. One fiery-red-colored rose after another appeared in midair without any foundation, revolving around Lin Xins body, slowly rotating. This scene was simply excessively shocking! The originally handsome Lin Xin was surrounded by a bunch of roses, filled with solidified fire essence; he looked just like a fairy. Looking at this scene, almost all of thepetitors had their breath taken away. They simply couldnt believe their eyes. There were at least a hundred of these fiery red roses. How good was his control, for him to be able to manipte so much fire essence as meticulously as he did?! Lin Xins opponent, a girl that didnt pass easily the two first days of qualifiers, was no longer pale. Instead, she started to blush intensely: as she was extremely close to him, she could see this scene extremely clearly. All girls seek beauty. Even without mentioning his exquisite magic control of the fire element, her eyes were already empty of all bitterness, and were filled with admiration instead. But Lin Xin wasnt done yet. Pointing at the fire cloud crystal before him, he ordered, Split. Instantly, all the fiery red-colored roses seemed to react, and gathered together, forming a fiery red shape. This dazzling fiery red color belonged to a perfect rose that appeared at this moment. Lin Xin pointed toward the left side of his chest, and instantly, a sound could be heard, Thump, Thump; Thump, Thump. It was the sound of a heartbeat, and it apanied this heart-shaped roses appearance, together with these pulsations that seemed just as if they belonged to a real heart. The fire cloud crystal ignited once again, astonishing everyone. This huge heart flew straight in the direction of the female mage facing Lin Xin. How could the shocked and shaken girl have the time to react? Looking at such a huge ze flying at her, her face instantly changed, but she didnt even have the time to think about dodging it. Looking at this zing rose shaped like a heart, her brainpletely nked out. And at this very moment, all the roses quietly faded away while the heart grew, turning into an enormous heart-shaped ring with the girl inside. It didnt have any offensive effect at all, only quietly surrounding this womans body. It produced a fiery red brilliance encircling this female mage, and reflecting her deep red-colored blushing face. The girl stood there, staring nkly at him. She didnt have the slightest idea about what she should do, but among the observingpetitors, almost all the female mages were full of envy. So cool, so romantic. So mages could actually give birth to such a beautiful scenery. My demonstration is finished, please. Lin Xin courteously said, looking at his opponent. Ah! #61 cried out in rm, almost falling down. She hadpletely lost control and her cheeks were blushing deep red. I, I cant I concede. As she finished her sentence, she could feel her heartbeat speeding up. As she didnt dare look at Lin Xin, she escaped, at near the peak of her running speed. Without needing to mention this girl that waspletely stunned by the sight of this scene, even the referee of this match, a Grand Magic Tutor of the seventh step, waspletely dumbstruck. He was utterly confused, He could himself achieve such a delicate control, but was absolutely unable to be as fast as Lin Xin, while remaining so calm. Such a great magic control could already not be described as genius anymore, it was simply a peerless talent! On the tform, an old mage seated at the first row loudly groaned, Vulgar nonsense to please the crowds; a handsome exterior but hollow inside. To his astonishment, the mages to either side of him were in awe, and the old mage seated at his left spoke back, Old Lin, you cannot describe him as like that. Such an exceptionally beautiful scene held an incredible ingenuity and control. This childs sentiments in regards to magic are simply astonishing. In the future, he will definitely be a leading figure of our Mage Temple. Old Lin groaned in fury, Old geezer Ge, your eyes have a problem. A leading figure? Bullshit, hes closer to a vulgar buffoon only suited for pleasing the crowds. Old Ges face was ck with rage, Old Lin, you cannot speak in this manner. We are already at this age, dont tell me that you are jealous? Although you are a Magic Regiment Leader, if you want to harass a young talent of this kind, I wont give you my approval. Old Lin suddenly stood up, Okay, then I wont keep watching this; I am so furious. You think I will beat down this little bastard? Do you think he has anything that I cannot match? Old Ge was indignant, Why are you cursing at people? Do you not have a little bit of the demeanor of a magic sage? Old Lin snorted, What if I am cursing at my own grandson, is it your problem? As he was done speaking, he angrily left. As before, his eyes were fiercely wide opened, ring at Lin Xin who was wearing a smile while beckoning all the otherpetitors. Lin Xin felt a shiver, and didnt dare keep showing off. He hurriedly returned to the lounge. After Old Lin left, Old Ge revealed a peculiar expression, Turns out that this youngster was Old Lins second grandson, that legendary freak. Its no wonder that this old fellow wanted to tick him off. Assassin Temple Stadium. In the Holy Unions Great Stadium, the Assassin Temples stadium was really the strangest one:pared to the five other stadiums, it bore no resemnce to their well-lit environ at all. Instead, it was somewhat dark, and could even be described as sinister. Today, thepetition in the Assassin Temples stadium started a littleter than in the others, because of the decorations they set up. Enormous ste were towering in the middle of the stadium. These ste had ayout that seemed somewhat random. Each stele was thick enough that two people would be needed to reach around it. It seemed that they had just finished to put them in order. A cold voice came from a sort of remoted tform, This year, there are a total of 48petitors. After the two first days, there are 12 people left. Today, to determine the top ten, you will enter the stadium together, and have a contest. You may use any means, all those who are not in state to fight will be eliminated. The first four eliminatedpetitors will be drawing lots as a final step to eliminate two of them. Allpetitors enter; after my countdown of 10 seconds, the match will begin. Ten. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh A stream of noises sounded, and the participants in the resting area all shot out like arrows. The assassins of the Assassin Temple were a lot more mysterious than other temples. Every persons face was covered with a veil of some sort, and some even had their foreheads covered, only revealing their eyes. Their actions were swift and nimble, and that gloomy voice had not even counted to three when the participants who shot out seemed as if they had all disappeared into thin air. Du, du, du, du, du The quieter it was, the easier it would be for some sudden noise to catch the attention of other people, just like it was at this moment. Not all of the participants had moved at the very first moment; there was one exception. Long, purple hair draped smoothly over her back, her nk pupils gave people a sort of solitary feeling. The blue bamboo stick lightly tapped on the floor, its master moving slowly, step by step, towards the center of the arena. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 91 - Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (I)

Chapter 91: Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales _Who is this person?_ This question appeared simultaneously in the minds of almost all the assassins hidden in the shadows. _Is she apetitor? But how can an Assassin possibly be blind?_ At this moment, a thought dawned upon all the assassins. In the previous contests, the total number of contestants amounted to forty-seven people, not forty-eight people as that gloomy voice had just announced. This ce that was vacant on the two previous matches, could it be 5th step? But, what would it matter if she was at the 5th step? What percentage of an assassins power could a blind, female assassin disy? Du, du, du Caier silently walked towards the arena. Her movements werent fast, to the point that they were slower than the average persons walking pace. It looked as if she was the walking dead, no signs of life arose from the coldness that radiated from her. The gloomy voice that sounded from the tform totally ignored Caiers actions and continued to count down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Begin. Caier reached the center of the arena just as that voice called out Begin. The ce where she was standing was approximately in the center of the stadium, and this area, void of any ste, was quite wide. She waspletely visible to the hidden assassins. Silence. The whole arena was temporarily silent, and no assassin rushed to act first. Twelve people, and the first four to get knocked willpete in an additional match. In other words, the eight people that kept from getting knocked out in this match would automatically enter the top ten. Under these circumstances, no one would rashly make the first move. However, just because others didnt move, didnt mean that Caier didnt move. She quietly stood there for just three seconds, then her blue bamboo stick again began making _du, du_ sounds towards one direction. Coincidentally, that direction led straight to a stele, and furthermore, there was a assassin hidden right behind it. Caiers appearance didnt even disy a hint of defense. Her whole body was littered with openings, not to mention that her pace was extremely slow,pletely relying on that green bamboo stick to advance. _Pu_ Finally, the green bamboo stick in her hand bumped into that stele. Caiers feet abruptly halted, and it was just at this moment that the hidden assassin made a move. The assassin leapt out from the middle section of the st, taking advantage of his agility and his light clothing, and without letting out the slightest sound, ncing at Caiers head, he aimed his pitch ck dagger at Caiers shoulder. If not for the fact no one was to be killed during thepetition, he would have aimed at Caiers neck. The other assassins, hidden in the shadows, didnt move the slightest bit. They calmly observed their surroundings; everyone clearly wished to see someone else initiating an attack to deal with Caier. A piercing blow! All the assassins could clearly see that this ck d assassins dagger was aiming for Caiers shoulder. But in the next instant, all the observers pupils suddenly shrank. Because they could see two Caier. The Caier that was hit by the assassins stab was standing in ce,pletely motionless, but the pitch ck dagger didnt manage to spill out any blood. And the second Caier that appeared was two meters tall. Caiers soft hand, the same one that was held by Long Hao Chen the day before, was ced at the quarter length of her bamboo cane. Her palm that didnt seem more than a sixth of meter long was slowly reaching forward. The assassin discovered that, unexpectedly, what he stabbed was the air. Unfortunately, he couldnt bypass natures rules, and thus, his body could only fall down. With a numb feeling behind his neck, he lost consciousness. The others assassins only saw a flower before their eyes, as she stood before the stele, at the same ce where she was supposed to be hit by her opponents piercing blow. The bamboo cane swept across the ground as she softly aimed at the ck-d assassins waist. Immediately, this ck-d assassins body crumpled, just like a rag, directly falling on the ground. #18, eliminated. A cold voice sounded from the tform. [Shadow Doppelganger]! All the assassins had their heartbeat quicken, grasping their daggers as they were soaked in cold sweat. [Shadow Doppelganger] was a secret skill of the fifth step, and the one that required the most achievements to be learned at this step. It seemed that there was no way to differentiate this girls clone from the original. Her [Shadow Doppelganger] seemed practically perfect: it went as far as giving a sensation of illusion, and when she used this splitting skill, no one could know which one was real. Fifth step, she was at the fifth step for real, in addition to being such a powerful assassin of the fifth step. _Du, du, du._ The blue bamboo canes sounds rang once again. Caier changed direction, and slowly advanced. Seeing the bamboo cane in her hand, eachpetitor went to the defensive, as if continually pressured. It felt as if the sound of this bamboo cane could control their heartbeat. No one dared belittle this slim figure, even if it belonged to a petite blind girl. _Du, du, du._ A leaping sound could be heard,ing directly from this figure, as the assassins fled at flying speed. None of them wanted to be Caiers next target. Only, the stadium was not so huge and there were only so many ste that as soon as she moved, they would naturally run into each other. Daggers collided with _ding, ding_ sounds. The former silence waspletely destroyed by Caier and her havoc. Hearing the daggers colliding sounds, Caier halted her steps. She silently stood there, motionless and in the eyesight of all the assassins. Only, there wasnt a single assassin that dared approached her. Everyone could clearly see that even though she was blind, her other senses were without doubt developed at a terrifying level. If I finish earlier, I will be able to go wait for him. I wonder if todays match went well for him. The ice-cold atmosphere around Caiers body quietly faded away. Knight Temple Stadium. #97, #4, enter the stadium. It was the seventh match of the Knight Temple. Long Hao Chens number was finally called, but at this very moment, Li Xin and Ye Hua both revealed extremely ugly expressions. Among the four knights of the fifth step, a single one had already crossed the stage; to describe this match, it wouldnt be exaggerated to use the four words, strong bullying the weak. When facing a knight of the fifth step as his opponent, the fourth step knight didnt have the slightest chance. With a mere charge, the unlucky knight had already beenpelled to surrender. #4 was the second knight of the fifth step that had been called out today. And his opponent was precisely #97, aka Long Hao Chen. A total of 38 contestants had to enter this third match, and among them were four knights of the fifth step. In other words, only 4 of the 19 matches would involve a powerhouse at the fifth step. And Long Hao Chen was now one of these four unfortunate youths that had to face them. Standing up, Long Hao Chen revealed a sun-drenched smile, as told Ye Hua, who was standing at his side, Teacher, as you instructed me, no matter what kind of powerhouse Ill be facing, I wont lose my self-confidence. Ye Hua was startled, before nodding energetically at Long Hao Chen, Go. You are the disciple I am proud of. Long Hao Chen walked at a good pace, advancing towards the stadium. All the knights in the lounge had calmed down, attentively looking at the match that was about to start. It was the same for this ck-d youth that had been provoked by Long Hao Chen on the previous day. He was tranquil and gave a cold nce to Long Hao Chen, as if trying to say: _Only if you pass this hurdle, will you have the qualifications to be my opponent._ Long Hao Chens opponent was a knight with a tall figure, around 190 centimeters, with a broad back, and short, thick brown hair that slightly curled. His right hand gripped a sword that was wider than most, and his left hand a shield that was squared at the top, and tapered down to a point at the bottom, certainly not like the rounded shields of most knights. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 92 - Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (II)

Chapter 92: Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The most astonishing thing was that this number 4 knight didnt wear any armor. Clearly wearing a proud face, he carefully looked at Long Hao Chen, who was facing him. Ive heard that during the two previous days, you have only been using [Storing Power] to prevail over your opponents. Dont use this trashy skill against me, otherwise, you will only hideously lose. said the knight bearing the number 4, full of disdain. Long Hao Chen indifferently answered, Theres no trashy skill, only trashy people. The knight bearing the number 4 narrowed his eyes, speaking loudly: Very well. Because a knight of the fifth step participated in this match, the referee was reced with a Saint Knight of the seventh step. This referee had the appearance of a middle aged man. His impressive figure stood proudly, simrly to a huge mountain, as he coldly snorted, We dont care about your bullshit, this ce is not one to show off with your clever talk, match start. There was no differencepared to the two previous matches; as soon as the referee dered the start of the match, Long Hao Chens body was immediately surrounded by a gold-colored fog. It was, as before, [Storing Power]. #4s eyes becamepletely cold, clearly filled with wrath. Unlike the other knights, he didnt immediately summon his mount. He loudly knocked the broadsword in one of his hands against the shield in the other one, producing an enormous _bang_ sound. He seemed almost stuck to the ground before, after a small period of time, charging at Long Hao Chen. [Assault], a skill used by knights of the fifth step that relied on a formidable spiritual energy, enabling the user to charge with a faster speed while steadier than [Charge]. While he wasunching [Assault], an intense bright light was being emitted by his body, but this light was entirely different than the one Long Hao Chen was emitting. They were beyondparison, it looked as if a thin armor covered his whole body. This was precisely the result produced by liquefying the spiritual energy. This change had simultaneously appeared on the weapon he was wielding. The distance of thirty meters was almost instantly cut in. The broadsword, emitting an intense glittering light, aimed straight at Long Hao Chens head. He used his actions to tell Long Hao Chen that [Storing Power] was useless. He went as far as not to summon his own mount. _BangC_ The Radiant Shield urately blocked the broadswords path, and with a loud sound, Long Hao Chen was pushed a step back. His body started to emit the radiance belonging to [Bright Vengeance], as his Light Sword chopped towards his opponent. Although he didnt charge [Storing Power] for long, including [Bright Vengeance]s might, this blows power was amplified by 100%; only, Long Hao Chen was currently not using any other abilities. As he sneered, full of disdain,petitor #4s broadsword was indeed blocked by [Divine Obstruction]. Only, at the moment Long Hao Chen brandished his sword, chopping at his opponent, he had alreadyunched a skill, [Shield Charge]. Pushing the heavy shield forward, he outrageously aimed at Long Hao Chens heavy sword. _BangC_ A tyrannical explosive force immediately sted into him. Long Hao Chen looked almost as if he had been knocked out by an elephant, as he was directly sent flying backward. This was the gap between the fourth and the fifth step. Long Hao Chen was already a ninth ranked Grand Knight, but against a knight at the fifth step, who possessed a liquid spiritual energy, if the contest simplypared their spiritual energy, he would have basically no chance of winning. [Assault]. Thispetitor #4 was arrogant, but really had the qualifications to be so conceited. His skill had attained a perfect cadence; as he sent Long Hao Chen flying, he immediatelyunched another [Assault]. As a brilliant glow appeared on his sword, a [Light Thorn] directly aimed at Long Hao Chen. This [Light Thorn] was filled with liquefied spiritual energy; the deunched was simply extended. It couldnt even be recognized as spiritual energy: it looked extremely real. It directly aimed at Long Hao Chen, who used the Radiant Shield to stop it. His body was still unsteady, but he hadnt fallen on the ground yet. Long Hao Chen could basically not re-use [Divine Obstruction] yet, but he was able to use a [Holy Filter Shield] to enforce his defense in time. _HongC_ , [Holy Filter Shield] was broken and Long Hao Chen spat out some blood, and was ruthlessly smashed on the ground. His Radiant Shield was sent flying as well. Competitor #4 wasnt hurried to pursue the attack; he simply coldly swept his eyes over the lounge, as if wanting to say, _look here, this is the strength of the fifth step_. Suddenly turning over, Long Hao Chen stood up, his chest uninterruptedly moving up and down, while his mouth still had some bloodstains on its corner. The wounds he had received were clearly not light. But he didnt dare pick up his Radiant Shield, as he stared fixedly atpetitor #4 while staying on guard. #4s disyed an expression full of disdain, I told you earlier that you mustnt use this trashy skill [Power Storing] in front of me. Before absolute strength, everything is futile. Admit your defeat, and get lost! Because of his wounds, Long Hao Chens face was somewhat pale, but he resolutely shook his head, without the slightest hesitation. His body was still slightly dazed, but he hurried to use the Light Sword, sticking it in the ground to stabilize his own body and releasing at the same time a white [Healing Light] on himself. #4 was ring at him, Refusing to be convinced until meeting the hard reality head-on? I will help you to ept it then. This time, he didnt even use [Assault], and simply advanced, step after step, towards Long Hao Chen. A rich holy light shone once again, as the broadsword aimed directly for Long Hao Chens shoulder. Each of his steps left visible footprints on the ground. Long Hao Chens hands grasped the Holy Swords hilt, bracing his whole body, and he looked focusedly at thispetitor #4. His eyes contained a firm and stubborn look that didnt weaken the slightest bit, even after sustaining so much damage. The majestic referee was still tightly observing the twopetitors. In case #4 was about to threat Long Hao Chens life, he would immediately interfere. In the lounge, Li Xin, extremely nervous, grabbed Ye Huas arm, Teacher, stop him, this bastard is about to kill Hao Chen. Hao Chen is already so wounded. Ye Hua firmly clenched his fists, Trust him, he will win. At this moment, the knight bearing the number 4 was already only 3 meters away from Long Hao Chen. Grasping the broadsword, he slowly raised his head. He deliberately moved slowly, because he loved seeing his opponent showing a helpless expression in the sight of his absolute strength. Unfortunately, Long Hao Chen didnt show this kind of expression. From beginning to end, Long Hao Chens eyes were unflinching. Lets end this. Competitor #4 was pissed off by Long Hao Chens persistence. Lowering his broadsword he went straight at Long Hao Chen, aiming to smash him. Because of the greatpetitions rules, he didnt dare kill him in the end, but he was sure that Long Hao Chen would inevitably lose his fighting capabilities because of this blow. But at this very moment, in Long Hao Chens limpid clear gold-colored eyes, a severe look appeared abruptly, seemingly piercing his opponent like a spear. This severe look had already appeared on the day before, when he faced the ck d youth. But it was the first time it appeared in a match in the selection. _Bzz_ , a glittering bright light suddenly surrounded Long Hao Chens body, rushing out from the ground. It was the Retribution Knight skill, [Heavenly Battle Array]. The descending broadsword was abruptly stopped by [Heavenly Battle Array]. In its fall, it instantly slowed down drastically, and immediately following, a mantle of light burst forth from Long Hao Chens body, [Holy Mantle]. He had been preparing these two abilities for quite some time, starting from when he stood up from the ground. Facing a knight of the fifth step that possessed a mount as well, Long Hao Chen knew that he wouldnt have a lot of opportunities. Thus, he could only endure silently, waiting for the opportunity. Clearly, chance was on his side though, seeing that thispetitor #4 didnt even try to summon his mount. When Long Hao Chen was in Hao Yue City, every day wasbat practice against Ye Hua, an Airborne Knight. How could he be unable to block the attacks of a knight of the fifth step for a mere round? He was indeed wounded, but this was because he was far from having gone all out. He was only enduring silently, showing his opponent a weak self, while waiting for the opportunity, the very opportunity that had appeared before his eyes right now. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 93 - Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (III)

Chapter 93: Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Based on Long Hao Chens current strength, to prevail over a fifth step knight with a mount was extremely hard, almost impossible. Even if his innate talents were high, his opponent was after all one that had trained until the fifth step and beyond. As such, he could only rely on tactics to give himself a chance at winning. Strength would forever be a crucial part of winning, but it wouldnt be the only one. With clever tactics, even a child could kill an adult, let alone Long Hao Chen whose disparity with #4 wasnt even thatrge. Even though [Holy Mantle] was already a fourth step guardian knights skill, it still couldnt block the liquid spiritual energy of the fifth step. But without a doubt, [Heavenly Battle Array]bined with [Holy Mantle] had already won him more than enough time. He pulled out the Light Sword that was pierced into the ground with a dense, golden radiance, and simultaneously swept out horizontally, with the sword in his left hand in a zing, red arc. This fiery red radiancebined with the golden radiance to form an intersecting [Instant st Cross Cut]. At this point in time, Long Hao Chen was already within Knight #4s reach. But he had never imagined that this Long Hao Chen, who seemed topletelyck any means of resistance, would suddenly break into offense. Furthermore, it was so explosively fierce. At this moment, he had already missed the opportunity to utilize any skills, and could only raise up his shield with difficulty to defend himself. Boom Light and fire crossed, forming an [Instant st Cross Cut] and fiercely hit #4s shield. The number 4 knight was indeed excellent, deserving of the title of powerhouse at the fifth step. In such a disadvantageous situation, he was only forced to take two steps back by Long Hao Chens attack. It was, once again, because of the superiority of the liquid spiritual energy. However, this was only the beginning. The intersected [Instant st Cross Cut] struck againstpetitor #4, who lost all opportunity to strike back. Long Hao Chens swords didnt stop, even for half a second, immediately delivering another blow. But this time, his pair of swords shone with a bursting radiance. A dazzling gold-colored light, together with a dazzling gold-red shine. The pair of swords actually immediatelyunched a [Shining Sr Strike], the most powerful skill of Retribution Knights of the fourth step. Having just recently parried an attack,petitor #4 was in a shocked and angry state. Long Hao Chens two swords immediately chained with another blow, shining with an intimidating brilliance. _BangC_ This time, knight #4 resisted, but wasnt as rxed. Under the powerful force of [Shining Sr Strike], his shield was pushed back and he almost lost his bnce, stumbling forwards and backwards in session, but still managing to stay on his feet. The advantage Long Hao Chen gained was not small. The me Sword in his left hand was thrust forward, carrying a red glow, and a [Lightning Thrust] was directly aimed at #4s chest. The Light Sword in his right hand wasnt attacking together, but was lifted above his head. Above it, an incandescent luster shone, instantly amplifying. But there was a fundamental difference with [Shining Sr Strike]. It was that the Light Swords radiance wasnt scattering, butpletely concentrated in the sword. It seemed that the Light Sword was bing immaterial, and could break through anything, as a holy aura was emanating from the Light Sword. Long Hao Chen recited some incantations in a low voice, and this Light Sword revealed a change. At first nce, it looked like a [Pure White Edge], butpared to [Pure White Edge], the current Light Sword was superior by far, regardless of whether it was in terms of quality and purity of the spiritual energy, in terms of density of the holy aura emitted, or in terms of burden to the user. In the tform, the Saint Knight that was sitting waspletely astonished and dered, Good boy, so he had this kind of secret. Turns out that he was not a Guardian Knight at all. No wonder he had been continuously using [Storing Power] and [Divine Obstruction]. He was from the beginning a Retribution Knight! What a good fellow, this is the ambidextruous high level retribution skill that can be learned at the fifth step of the vocation. #4 waspletely dispirited: Long Hao Chens counterattack was something beyond his expectations. Furthermore, Long Hao Chens series of bursting attacks didnt give him the slightest opportunity to counterattack. [Heavenly Battle Array], [Holy Mantle], two [Shining Sr Strike] and a [Lightning Thrust]. He didnt even have the time to transfer his internal spiritual energy to obstruct these attacks, let alone tounch skills or summon his mount. He waspletely caught in these attacks, and could do nothing else other than passively take them on. To stop Long Hao Chens chained attacks, he had to wait for a tiny gap, an opportunity to strike back. Using his broadsword, he tried to contain these attacks as much as he could. Jingling sounds rang repeatedly on the surface of the stadium. Long Hao Chens [Lightning Thrust] was extremely fast, giving him the opportunity to use [Shining Sr Strike]. Competitor #4 couldnt possiblypletely stop these attacks. A gold-red light swept past his left arm, instantly leaving a ck scorched mark. A real powerhouse wouldnt let pride blind him in the midst of the battlefield. Competitor 4, who didnt even bother to wear any armor, had clearly vited this golden rule. He was hit by the me Sword that left a painful wound on his left arm, which becamepletely numb. In fact, until that moment,petitor #4 had never thought that he could lose; even if Long Hao Chen was a Retribution Knight and could use so many abilities, wouldnt his timing normally have a small gap after using them? As long as he had the chance to strike back, he was confident in his absolute superiority in terms of cultivation level to prevail over Long Hao Chen. At this very moment, as Long Hao Chenpleted [Lightning Thrust], a dazzling gold-red-colored radiance suddenly erupted. It was another [Shining Sr Strike], only, this time, it wasnt used as a strike, but a stab. It didnt have [Lightning Thrust]s speed, but it had [Shining Sr Strike]s might. Competitor #4 had no choice but to block with his shield once again. An explosive sound could be heard, as he fell five steps back. His shield and his broadsword had both turned dull by then. As he took a deep breath, while falling back, #4s eyes were full of rage. With his entirely liquid spiritual energy, although he was currently unsteady, this fall back could also be described as an opportunity. Using a little bit of internal spiritual energy, he released a gold-colored [Holy Mantle]. It healed the injury in his left hand while taking shape and forming a powerful defense. [Assault], Long Hao Chen dived with his sword, and in a split second, nothing else other than a white electric light could be seen as his outline became shapeless. A single sword shape appearedC, but was it the Light Sword, or the me Sword? A crystal clear pure-white bright sword created ripples in the air, instantlying close. _Puu_ The [Holy Mantle] created by the power of the knight of the fifth step unexpectedly couldnt withstand this thrust of the Light Sword. With an ear-piercing sound, the Light Sword forcibly prated this [Holy Mantle]. [Holy Sword], the ultimate Retribution Knight skill of the fifth step. While possessing a tyrannical offensive power, this skill had a supplementary effect on creatures with a dark attribute, doubling the damage. Competitor #4 waspletely astonished, hastingly lifting up his Victorious Shield, but Long Hao Chens linking speed was just too high; he only had the time to use a [Holy Filter Shield] to enhance his shields defense. And at this very moment, on the Light Sword, a white glow appeared, and ruthlessly struck #4s shield, followed with a thrust from the Light Sword. _HongC_ Under the gaze of the shocked spectators, #4s shield was split open, finally broken by the Light Swords blows. However, the huge force of impact wasnt limited to that, as he tumbled onto the ground. The fiery-red-colored brilliance quietly approached, fearlessly falling on his shoulder. A scorching hot temperature approached #4s neck,pletely terrifying him. Using the support of the Light Sword to prevent himself from falling down, he stuck the me Sword to #4s neck. As he took big gasps to breath, Long Hao Chens mouth was covered in blood, blood that kept flowing out. But his eyes were still full of resolution, that didnt change at all. To use so many abilities to such an extent while wounded, the burden on Long Hao Chens body was obvious. But it was precisely this series of dangerous attacks that made him victorious. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 94 - Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (IV)

Chapter 94: Retribution Knight Long Hao Chen (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Compared to the peak of the fourth step, the fifth step was fundamentally different! If not for the fact that he had used so many formidable abilities, and relied on his innate talents enabling him to naturally exceed ordinary knights speed, intuition, and his tyrannical Retribution Knight abilities, there was no way he could have won this. Surprisingly though, as he was defeating his opponent, he had made sure not to injure him. I lost. I actually lost? Knight #4 dazedly sat on the ground, his face ashen. Even as an Earth Knight, he hadnt been able to enter into the top ten of this Demon Hunt Selection. Consequently, he couldnt be a genuine member of a Demon Hunt Squad. He had already reached the maximum age eligible for this Demon Hunt Selection, and could no longer participate in another. In an instant, this defeat hadpletely removed him from bing one of the Knight Temples core members. When Long Hao Chen heard the words I lost, he had already put away his two swords and silently walked over to pick up the Radiant Light Shield at the edge of the arena. Although he had won this battle, he had not won easily. The pressure which was brought upon him by Knight #4 was enormous. No, I cant ept this and I wont ept this! Knight #4 suddenly leapt up from the ground, his eyes red as he looked towards Long Hao Chen. I havent even summoned my mount, nor am I fully armored. I have a set of Spiritual Tier armor. How then could you even be my opponent? How? Referee, I dont ept this. I want to have a rematch. The referee coldly looked at him and stood between him and Long Hao Chen, saying indifferently: Youve lost. Knight #4 desperately said: I havent lost. How could I have lost to a brat of the fourth step? An aged voice rang out from the tform, full of anger, I ask you, what are the Ten Standards of a Knight? Knight #4 looked nky. These rules were something every knight had to learn since a young age, and he almost subconsciously answered: Modesty, honesty,passion, courage, fairness, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, humility, justice. That aged voice said in a low voice: Then where is your humility and honesty? Rather than saying you lost to #97, instead you should say that youve lost to yourself. Not even armoring yourself or summoning your mount was your own decision. You cant evenply with the two most basic standards of a knight. Your nature isnt even fit for a knight. Come, throw him out and expel him from the Knight Temple. Knight #4 shook violently and his face turned deathly white in an instant. What did expulsion from the Knight Temple mean? It meant that a person was no longer a member of the Knight Temple. At the same time, Knight #4 also knew who this aged voice belonged to. Even the three highest ranked elders of the Knight Temple had to express the utmost courtesy when facing this person. A thudding noise rang out as Knight #4 knelt onto the ground. Facing the tform, he said in a trembling voice: Senior Saint Knight, Ive done wrong. I know the wrongs I havemitted. Please give me another chance. I dare not make the same mistake . The Chief Saint Knights voice slowly sounded: That you can be an Earth Knight before 25 years of age, it is evident that your innate talent is extremely good. However, you should also know that what our Knights Temple emphasizes is not level but character. As a chief member of the six Great Temples, if any core knight of a Demon Hunt Squad cannotply with the Ten Standards of a Knight, he can only bring shame to the honor of the Knights Temple. Tell me, what is honor? All the knights of the stadium stood in one body and shouted in unison: Honor is life. The Saint Knight Head calmly said: #4, you have now heard. Honor is life. Do you still possess the honor of a knight? Knight #4 trembled violently. But even as he knelt there, he couldnt utter a single word. He could tell that the Senior Saint Knights temper had already been ignited. Senior Saint Knight. Right at this moment, a clear voice sounded out. Everyones line of sight couldnt help but turn. The one who spoke was precisely Long Hao Chen. He fisted his right hand and ced it over his left breast, respectfully giving a Knights salute in the direction of the tform. Speak. The Saint Knight Heads voice was clearly gentler and didnt at all conceal the fondness he had towards Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen nced at Knight #4 who was still kneeling on the ground beside him, then respectfully said: Saint Knight Head, when I was very young, my mother told me: no one is perfect. Knight #4s mind is only a bit unstable right now because of this defeat. His arrogance was indeed a mistake. However, that his life mustpletely change just because of this matter, I think it is a bit unfair. Development of character and maturation are interlinked, and he cannot totally be med. Please give him another chance. After learning from this matter, I believe that he will correct himself. Hearing Long Hao Chens words, Knight #4 raised his head and looked towards him, stunned. His eyes even possessed a peculiar light. The tform suddenly went silent, and all the spectators also paid attention to the tform. After all, a genius like Knight #4 who had broken through to the fifth step before 25 years old was also extremely rare within the Knights Temple. Only after a while did the Senior Saint Knight let out a sigh from the tform. Alright. Because youve requested it, I will give him a chance. Listen closely, #4. If you wish to continue staying in the Knights Temple, then from this point on, you are #97s retainer knight. If you can carry this duty until the start of the next Demon Hunt Selection, then I will permit you to return to the Knights Temple. #4 first stared nkly, then rejoiced at this good news, Many thanks to the Senior Saint Knight for giving me another chance. After saying so, he stood up and turned towards Long Hao Chen. After a momentary struggle shed through his eyes, a thud was heard as he knelt on one knee before Long Hao Chen, Master, I, Han Yu will obey yourmands. I still do not know your name. Long Hao Chen didnt know whether tough or cry and said, Th-this His name is Long Hao Chen. A cold voice sounded from the resting area. Long Hao Chen turned to look, and the voice that spoke belonged precisely to Teacher Ye Hua. Han Yu respectfully said:,God of Light above, I, Han Yu, will henceforth serve Long Hao Chen as my master for five years. My masters honor is my honor. If I break this oath, then may the gods punish me. Long Hao Chen was ever level-headed in battle, but he was, after all, only fourteen years old. Under these circumstances he immediately became flustered and hastily said: Quickly get up. Saying so, he held out an arm to pull Han Yu up. Han Yu respectfully said: Master, I still have some affairs to take care of at home. I will return now to manage them, then return tomorrow to look for Master. From this day forward, I vow to follow you. After the previous setback, there was no longer any evidence of pride on his face. Although his eyes still gave hint of unreconciliation, after thinking about almost getting expelled out of the Knights Temple, he finally overcame his reluctance and turned to leave after saluting Long Hao Chen. Although he was conceited, he was highly ambitious. Once he was expelled from the Knights Temple, how could he ever achieve his aspirations? Although Long Hao Chen couldnt clearly make sense of the situation, there had to be a reason why Ye Hua would let him ept. After covering himself with [Holy Mantle] he returned to the resting area. Lil Bro, youre so awesome. Li Xin immediately rushed over and gave him a big hug. As for the other knight participants, when they looked at Long Hao Chen, their expressions all revealed a bit of fear. Within these one-on-one matches, retribution knights were clearly superior to guardian knights. Although Han Yu had ultimately lost because of his pride, do not forget, Long Hao Chensst stream of offensive skills hadnt even given him a chance to react. Was this something an ordinary retribution knight could achieve? That instant, exploding force, especially that finalbination of skills paired with [Holy Sword], was the real reason for Long Hao Chens victory. Even a fifth step knight couldnt block his attack! *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 95 - Actually, I am very ugly (I)

Chapter 95: Actually, I am very ugly (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Ye Hua nced at Long Hao Chen, and said with a snort, Stinky kid, so this was your background. Long Hao Chen lowered his head, Teacher, I Ye Hua waved his hands and said, No need to tell me. In fact, when that fatty Nn let me teach you, I already knew that you had a peculiar background, otherwise, how could you have attained this level of cultivation at such a young age? Is this background your father? Long Hao Chen nodded. Ye Hua patted his shoulder, No need to overthink this, I dont me you. Besides, your luck is indeed quite bad, to meet an opponent of the fifth step in this match. Although you won, your secret has been exposed. Long Hao Chen gave Ye Hua a concerned look. His mind in disorder, he approached Ye Huas ear and told him something in a very low voice. Ye Huas eyes were instantly wide open, and he looked at Long Hao Chen, astonished. Long Hao Chen nodded at his direction. Ye Huas ice-cold face revealed a smile even uglier than a crying expression, before giving him a thumbs up. Teacher, what is a retainer knight? Long Hao Chen asked, full of curiosity. Ye Hua answered, What you gained this time was quite convenient. A retainer knight is like the retainer warriors of a mage. The sole difference, is that ones retainer knight can be considered as his servant, rather than a regr partner of his. The fact he made an oath implies that if you are to meet a dangerous situation, he will have no other choice than to risk his life by your side. Its like a human shield. ording to the rules and regtions of the Demon Hunt Squads, this kind of existences called retenues are normally not allowed, but knight retenues are the exception. If a knight is a Retribution Knight, then he is permitted to have a training Guardian Knight as his retinue. It is because in regard to Demon Hunt Squads, Guardian Knights are extremely useful. Only, there is almost no knight that is willing to be someones retinue. Consequently, you can be said to have picked up a treasure. And this retinue is in addition a knight of the fifth step! When you will enter a Demon Hunt Squad in the future, in terms of sustainability, he will be extremely useful. Furthermore, for having reached the fifth step before his 25 years-old, his background cannot be so simple. Long Hao Chen scratched his head, and said, But, his cultivation level is higher than mine, he may not necessarily ept this. Ye Hua showed a mysterious smile, You are looking down on the oath of a retainer knight. No matter how proud he is, under this oath, you will be his everything, his master. Even if deep inside, he doesnt ept it, all his thoughts will have to be directed to your sake. Teacher, Ill be returning first, I have already fully recovered and I also have to rest for tomorrows match. Long Hao Chen hadnt forgotten the promise he made to Caier, and now that his match had ended, he felt an urge to fulfill it as soon as possible. Ye Hua nodded, and gave his agreement, Go. However, dont be over-hasty, there will be no need for you to participate in tomorrows match. Huh? Long Hao Chen stared at him,pletely astonished. The nearby Li Xin was smiling, Foolish brother, did you forget about the vacant ce? If no one else other than you can beat a knight of the fifth step today, how could it run out of your palm? Long Hao Chen suddenly realized that now that he had defeated Han Yu, he should be able to seize this vacant ce! If thepetition was the only issue, he wouldnt be particrly rejoiced, because he hoped to increase hisbat experience against powerful opponents, while arousing his potential. But thisst day was different. He was indeed on the verge of having his spiritual energy liquefied, after figuring out how [Storing Power] could be used as a training method. In such circumstances, what he needed the most was some time of quiet practice. Exiting the Knight Stadium, Long Hao Chen impatiently headed at running pace to Caiers location. In a distant ce, he saw Caier who calmly stood there. She had stood at the same ce of the street as before, for a long time, just like a sculpture, and was dressed up the same way as thest times. The sunlight was sprinkled across her body, and under its warm rays, her purple hair seemed to have acquired a crystal-clear gloss. Caier. Long Hao Chen called out, running at full speed toward her. As soon as she heard his voice, Caier was shaken, but when she felt him approaching, she felt an intense chill scattering all over her body. Caier, whats up? Long Hao Chen was startled, suddenly stopping. Caiers voice didnt have the slightest coldness, You are injured? Who was it that injured you? As she was speaking, she lifted up her hand, naturally grabbing Long Hao Chens. Long Hao Chen had a curious look, How do you know that I am injured? Caier said, I could hear it. Although I cannot see, my hearing is a lot better than ordinary peoples. Your breathing is unnatural, so it is clear that you have been wounded. At this moment, the chill she felt in her body had appeased, and she let go of Long Hao Chens hand. Long Hao Chen chuckled, Its nothing. I am participating in the Demon Hunt Selection of the Alliance and today, I encountered a powerful opponent, so I have received minor injuries, but nothing serious. However, I won. Right, I havent told you yet, but I am a knight. Today, I had a good match, and since there will be a vacant ce tomorrow, I should already be in the top ten. Mh. Caier lightly nodded, and her body wasnt sending out chills anymore. Lets go, Im sending you back. This time, it was Long Hao Chen who took the initiative to grab her little hand, slowly pulling her in the direction of her hotel. The two youths slowly walked. The atmosphere was very quiet, and Long Hao Chen advanced slowly, just like a kid first learning how to walk. As the sunlight sprinkled across their bodies, a pleasant, warm feeling filled them as their heartbeats sped up. However, no matter how slow they were, the path would finally meet its end. In the instant they stopped in their tracks, a change appeared in Long Hao Chen; he was inwardly reluctant to part with her. After feeling the warmth of when he was holding her hand, he was unwilling to let it go. Rest quickly when you return. I will be waiting for you tomorrow. Caier quietly said. Okay. I will definitelye early, tomorrow Ill be taking the vacant ce, so Ill be able toe first and wait for you. His heart couldnt bear to separate from her, Go in first, Ill wait for you to enter before leaving. But Caier shook her head and said, I want to hear your footsteps as you leave, is it okay? He didnt know why, but every time Long Hao Chen saw her expressionless eyes, he was unable to decline her, Okay, then be careful when you go back, okay. Dont try to take risks like you did today, in your future matches. Caier suddenly said. Long Hao Chen chuckled, I am not taking risks, I am being diligent. If I dont try my utmost to be more powerful, who will be here to protect you? At this point, he clearly felt that his heart was beating a lot faster. He didnt dare stay here any longer, and left Caier, quickly running. Listening to the sound of his steps as he was leaving, Caiers face became ice-cold once again, He was wounded. Fortunately, its nothing serious. Her body suddenly shed with an intense killing intent. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 96 - Actually, I am very ugly (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The third day of the Demon Hunt Selection was still ongoing, and because the number of people that were left had decreased, the results of the Six Great Temples Selection were already out by the afternoon. Li Xins luck was clearly not as poor as Long Hao Chens: she faced a strong opponent, but his mount was iparable to hers. Once again making use of Roses superiority and her advantage as a Retribution Knight, she passed through this third match. This was something Ye Hua didnt expect at all. Just like everyone expected, the three others knights of the fifth step won, and Long Hao Chen became the main candidate for the vacant ce. In the office of the Knight Temple An elder was seated in front of a business table, calmly looking at the data in his hand. This elder had silver hair, and even though he was seated there, it could clearly be seen that he was quite tall. His shoulders were especially wide and his age didnt affect his dignified appearance. This elder was the highest graded policymaker in the Temple Alliance and its general quarters within Holy City. Within the whole Knight Alliance, he was second only to the three great Divine Knights who were the holy chiefs of the knights. This person was the one who was previously seated in the middle seat of the tform of the Knight Stadium, surrounded by other elders. _Toc, toc, toc._ Someone knocked on the door. Enter. The Saint Knight slowly lifted his head, and indifferently said. Opening the door, and entering from outside was someone with a strong figure with a well-built physique and brown hair, Han Yu. Only, his face didnt have the slightest bit of its previous arrogance, it was only filled with nervousness, pain, and other gloomy feelings of this kind. Looking at him, the Saint Knightsplexion suddenly changed, as he conveniently threw the data on the 19petitors of today that he was reading on the table. _BangC_ , Han Yus clenched fist was pressed against his own chest, as he respectfully performed a knight salute before this elder. The Saint Knight Head coldly red at him, without saying a single word. Han Yus forehead was full of sweat, as he silently lowered his head. Kneel down. The Saint Knight Head ferociously kicked a desk, his hair and his beard were tossed around, and an intense oppressive pressure instantly filled the whole room,pletely twisting the air inside. Gulping, Han Yu kneeled, and his face was in this moment, extremely pale. Under the oppressive power released by this Saint Knight Head that stood before him, as fierce as a mountain, he seemed like he could be broken into straw at any moment. The Saint Knight Head slowly stood up and walked from behind the table. He pointed his finger at Han Yu, Great! You are truly great. Arent you a bit too conceited? Didnt you say that you were the best youth of your generation? Are you satisfied now? You didnt pass the preliminaries, and furthermore, you were beaten by an opponent at the fourth step! What a hero! Han Yu lowered his head, miserably scowling, Grandpa, I was in the wrong. It waspletely my fault, please punish me suitably . Dont call me grandpa, I dont have such a disappointing grandson. The Saint Knight Head lifted up his leg and kicked Han Yu, Even now, you still dont know why you were in the wrong. You believe that I am angry because the fact you lost todays match made me lose face, right? You are wrong. Let me tell you, I, Han Qian, am angry because my grandson didnt even bother summoning his mount and yet lost,pletely disgraced. This disgrace is something you brought upon yourself! The senior Saint Knight Head was seething in anger while shouting, Do you think that back then, in the stadium, I wanted expel you from the Knight Temple just because I was angry? No! I wanted to expel you because you werent even close to being qualified as a knight! The first of the ten rules of a knight is modesty, but tell me, is there any part of your worthless self that is modest? Your heart is only filled with arrogance. Do you think that, as a 22 year-old kid who broke through to the fifth step, youre special? That youre a genius? Well, guess what? The child you fought today is only 14 years old. 14 years old! Compared to him, youre just a little piece of sh*t that got stuck on the bottom of his shoe. Hearing the three words 14 years-old, Han Yus expression waspletely nk, No, thats impossible. Han Qian coldly looked at his grandson, Impossible? Do you think the bone age test can be wrong? I have personally sealed off the information on his age. Wasnt it your dream to be a Divine Knight? With your current moral integrity, even if one day, you obtain this title, you will still be no more than a corrupted knight. Full of arrogance and self-satisfaction, considering everyone else beneath him, still acting shamelessly even after having lost the match. You didnt make me lose face, you made the entire Knight Alliance lose face. If it wasnt for the other elders who held me back at that time, I would have beaten you to death. Han Yus body started slightly shaking. Since his childhood, even though he was extremely diligent in his training, he was naturally a very arrogant kid. Since he was a kid, this was the first time he received a setback. Today, with this defeat, he had discovered that he was toocking. Long Hao Chensbo crushed all his arrogance, and he suddenly discovered that he was actually not as formidable as he imagined at all. Han Qian still spoke with a cold voice, You have only two possible choices, now. First, to let me seal your spiritual energy, and expel you from the Knight Alliance. You are still my grandson, so I will give you some money, to let you pursue a prosperous life as an ordinary man. If you choose this path, I will personally, on your behalf, appear before Long Hao Chen to cancel your oath. As for the second path, you already know it. Han Yus body suddenly shook, as he slowly raised his head, Grandfather, he hes really only 14 years old? Han Qians previously angry mood had calmed down a bit, and strongly nodding, he answered, From these three days ofpetition, I can tell that this child, Long Hao Chen, has a persevering, kind-hearted, honest, courageous, and brave disposition. In him, I can see the honor of a knight. If you stay alongside him, youll be able to learn about the attitude a knight should have. Dont think that bing a retainer knight is a loss of face. As long as he doesnt die, he will definitely astonish the whole Alliance in the future, and even the most powerful figures of the Demon Race. Apanying him, as his supporter, will only have advantages for your progress. If you dont take this choice, five yearster, his back will be absolutely out of your reach. Han Yu kneeled down once again, facing Han Qian, knocking his head three times against the floor, Grandpa, in five years, I will definitely make you acknowledge me. At this point, he stood straight, performing another knight salute toward Han Qian, and withrge strides took his leave. Looking at his departing figure, the anger in Han Qians face suddenly disappeared. Instead, it changed into a faintly discernible smile. Long Hao Chen, I should really thank you today. Actually, I had noticed little Han Yus problem before. Only, I had never found a good asion to give him a big lesson. Yuer is a very arrogant kid, but hes very determinated. Obstructing him will only make him more brave. And being together with Long Hao Chen will only be advantageous for him. Furthermore, they may really both be divine knights together. Only, I wonder from whom Long Hao Chen inherited. He uses Retribution Knight abilities, learned [Holy Sword], the most powerful skill of the fifth step. And his family name is Long! Dont tell me that At this point, Han Qians face suddenly became astonished. The real reason why he had Han Yu follow Long Hao Chen was that when he lost in thepetition, he had lost the qualifications to enter in a Demon Hunt Squad. In regard to his future aplishments, it could be described as a fatal blow. And although by name, bing Long Hao Chens retainer knight could be called a fatal blow, it still enabled him to be a part of a Demon Hunt Squad. And Han Qian had a very favorable opinion of Long Hao Chen. Having Han Yu protect him would definitely make Long Hao Chen more likely to survive these experiences. Also, he would naturally easily grow closer to Long Hao Chen within five years. If Long Hao Chen really reached the Divine level, it would be extremely advantageous for his grandson to be close to him. This old geezer was full of ulterior motives Ye Hua could never possibly guess! Naturally, if not for this arrogant personality of Han Yus that was so detrimental to him, how could Han Qian let his grandson, blessed by the Heavens, be someone elses retainer? *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 97 - Actually, I am very ugly (III)

Chapter 97: Actually, I am very ugly (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Demon Hunt Squads preliminaries were at their third day, and most Temples were already at their final stage. The Assassin Temple, the Spiritual Temple and the Priest Temple already had their top ten designated. The rest of thepetition was only there to determine ranking orders. Because of the vacant ce in thepetition, Long Hao Chen didnt go to the Stadium. Since morning, he silently waited for Caier at the usual ce where they met up every day. Assassins Stadium. There were only ten people left in the lounge, but nine of them had their gaze focused on thest one. Caier was seated calmly; her oppressive eyes had a great influence on the nine otherpetitors. On her hand was a blue cane that seemed harmless at the first nce. Assassin of the fifth step; secret skill [Doppelganger Shadow]. The favorite, and sole Assassin of the fifth step of thispetition. As all nces were focused on her, Caier was seated on the first row, facing the tform. Standing straight up, with an especially cold voice, she said, I concede for the rest of thepetition. When she said these words, the nine otherpetitorspletely nked out. She used her blue bamboo cane, making _Du, du, du_ sounds as she left the Assassin Hall. Standing on the street, waiting for Caier, was Long Hao Chen. For the first time since he arrived in the biggest city of the Alliance, his heart waspletely at ease. At the two sides of the street, there were countless buildings. The overwhelming majority of these were heavily decorated, resulting in a very medieval atmosphere filling the city. His wounds from the previous day had alreadypletely healed. From the start, Long Hao Chen had not been heavily wounded, and in addition, he relied on his healing skills of Guardian Knight to recover. Thus, he was already in perfect shape. During the fight against this knight of the fifth step, his potential was further stimted. After a day and a night of cultivation, his spiritual energy increased by a tremendous amount. It was especially because of the use of the skill [Storing Power] that had a great influence on his cultivation, making his liquid spiritual energy even deeper. Long Hao Chen was confident on the fact that if he continued to cultivate like that, he would definitely break through the threshold of the fifth step within ten days. Du, du, du. A familiar sound pulled Long Hao Chen back from his thoughts. Caier. Seeing nearby Caier who was slowly approaching, he immediately became extremely joyous. Long Hao Chen ran at her, and hastily to grab her hand. Caier smiled and asked, Have you been waiting for long? Long Hao Chen shook his head, No, I just arrived a little moment ago. Are you arriving so early every day to wait for me? Caier shook her head as well, No, theres no fixed time on when I head back home every day. But in the next days, I should be here earlier. Holding her soft little hand, Long Hao Chen felt warm. This warm sensation waspletely different from the sensation he had when he was together with his parents. He didnt know at all what Caier had renounced, just to avoid making him wait for too long. Hand in hand, with this hazy feeling, this extremely pure feeling, their silhouettes gradually disappeared under the sunshine. Caier, for how long will you remain in Holy City? Long Hao Chen separated his hands from Caiers, and courageously asked this decisive question. Caier was silent for a moment, What are you asking me this for? Long Hao Chen was shaken, and extremely embarrassed, he answered, I all I want to know is for how long I can walk you back. Caier fell silent, and the two youths were standing face to face. Long Hao Chens hands were sweating, as he waspletely disappointed. Feeling his hands sweat, Caier said in a low voice, I am just a blind girl, is it really so important for you to walk me back? Long Hao Chen was startled, and sincerely answered, I I dont know. Caier was startled as well. Even though young girls are said to start to understand love earlier than boys, she had even less experience than Long Hao Chen in life. Have you grown tired of me? Caier dropped her head and asked. Long Hao Chen was instantly filled with dread, and pulling her hand before him, he dered, How can I possibly grow tired of you? He didnt know why, but the current Long Hao Chen was extremely nervous. He felt that if he gave the wrong answer, this girl maypletely disappear from his sight. Caier, actually actually, I am very ugly. How can someone whos as ugly as me be qualified to reject you. Long Hao Chen was full of panic, as he made this deration. Caier nked, Very ugly? Yup, very ugly. Long Hao Chen hastily confirmed. Caier smiled. Even though her face was covered by a veil and he couldnt see it, Long Hao Chen unconsciously felt that her smile was beautiful, extremely beautiful. Then if if I wanted you to look after me forever, would you be willing to ept? Caiers voice was soft, and she mumbled, speaking haltingly. As she finished to say these words, her slender white face was already bashful, andpletely red. I am willing. Long Hao Chen was in an odd mental state as he gave this answer; it felt as if he didnt have the slightest bit of hesitation. This time, it was Caiers turn to be flustered. Taking her hand back from Long Hao Chens, she said, I I am heading back first. Long Hao Chen anxiously said, Th Then tomorrow, I will send you back as well. Okay. She lightly nodded, but the blue bamboo cane was hitting the ground at least twice as fast as usual. Caier headed to her hotel to rest. These words resounded without interruption in her heart, _He went as far as to say that hes very ugly? This same boy who looked as pretty as a girl?_ Never in the past had she felt this kind of warmth in her heart. How could she not understand that he said this tofort her? Hehe. Long Hao Chen couldnt help butugh. He was still young, and didnt understand anything in regard to rtions between boys and girls, but his senses were a lot sharper than ordinary peoples. He could clearly feel that a change appeared in Caiers attitude towards him, a good change. With this cheerful mood, Long Hao Chen went back to his hotel. Without waiting for his heart to calm down, he started to cultivate. But then, someone eagerly knocked at his door. Hao Chen, Hao Chen. Li Xin waspletely excited as she called him out. Long Hao Chen was surprised, but hurried to open the door. Li Xin was in a really pitiful state, her appearance waspletely messy; the armor on her body was pierced at least at three ces, her hair was in disorder, and a bloodstain covered her mouth. But she was clearly in an excited state. As soon as she saw Long Hao Chen, she immediately hugged him and said, full of excitement, I won, I won. Hao Chen, I am in the top ten. We, brother and sister, will be able to participate to Demon Hunt Squads together! Eh? Long Hao Chen instantly reacted, he was also extremely overjoyed at these unexpected news; Sis, you won? Youre really awesome. Congrattions! Li Xin, immensely proud of herself, said, Thats right! I was so lucky. Today, I did not encounter an opponent at the fifth step. Haha, your sister is so awesome. It was a close victory, but in the end, I still won. Father will be immensely proud of me. In terms of personal cultivation, Li Xin didnt stand out at allpared to her peers in this knightspetition. She could even be counted amongst those at the bottom. But she trained as a Retribution Knight. Above all, she had her Rose Unicorn and good luck. She managed, with a lot of effort, to pass through these preliminaries, together with Long Hao Chen. Li Xin smiled, What a pity that we are both knights. Your sister will not have the possibility to enter the same Squad as yours, otherwise it would be even more perfect. Long Hao Chen chuckled, Whats the problem, you will be my big sister forever. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 98 - Actually, I am very ugly (IV)

Chapter 98: Actually, I am very ugly (IV)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Well have to celebrate this. This evening, Ill be treating you to a good meal. Ye Hua said with a gentle voice, entering from outside. He was in a good mood; Long Hao Chen was in the top ten and his objective was reached. Actually, he hadnt expected that Li Xin would enter the top ten as well. To Hao Yue Citys Knight Temple, this was an enormous achievement! A lot other people were full of excitement as well; aside from the Warrior Temple, every temple had already designated their top ten. Lin Xin, drinking red wine in his luxurious hotel, was extremely happy. Feeling the strong but bitter fragrance, he started to feel an intense desire. On the previous day, with his mystical magic show, he had intimidated all the other magepetitors. In this fourth round ofpetition, there were, altogether, 16 participants. Consequently, they werepeting to enter the top ten, and yoffs would take ce afterwards, to determine the top ten. The first matches of the day would determine the top six. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xins opponent conceded. After all, he still had the yoffs to have the asion to enter the top ten. Who would be willing to fight a guy with such absurd magic control? As a result, Lin Xin entered the top six without fighting and received the qualification to be the member of a future Demon Hunt Squad. The bald male was excited as well. Because of his appearance, the Priest Temple was in chaos during these preliminaries, and wanted to establish new rules. But after all, the tournament had begun and rules couldnt be changed. Therefore, relying on the show of of his tyrannical violence, this bald man didnt only end up on the top ten, but because the Priest Templespetitors werent numerous, he had already entered the top three. Furthermore, in these circumstances, no one could possibly fight with him for the first ce. On the fifth day of the preliminaries, the atmosphere in the Alliances Great Stadium had already eased up. Except for the Warrior Temple, all temples already had their top ten designated. The rest of thepetition was to determine the order of ranking. The further rankings in the great temples preliminary contests didnt only grant an even greater glory, somepetitors would be rewarded depending on their ranking, in addition to receiving more or less money. The reward for the top three was a piece of equipment of the Spiritual Tier. This was something the Temple Alliance did to incite Demon Hunt Squads toplete missions. If they received a good reward, how could they ck off in the future when the time of missions came? In the Knight Stadium lounge, thepetitors appeared cold and cheerless. There were only ten people left; including the squadron teachers, it didnt even amount to twenty people. The best harvests of this Demon Hunt Selection didnt belong to the main cities, but the unknown Hao Yue City. The little Hao Yue Hall unexpectedly gave birth to two outstanding youths who entered the top ten. This was something that never happened before, in the long and glorious history of Hao Yue Knight Hall. As a result, even the ice-cold tempered Ye Hua was a lot more spirited than on his former days. You dont have to take the rest of thepetition excessively seriously. The final stage of thepetition will, after all, have an even greater importance. It is more important to keep yourself in good shape. Seeing Ye Hua repeatedly nod, Li Xin, who was previously full of fighting spirit, could not help but giggle. For her, entering the top ten and having the possibility to be the member of a Demon Hunt Squad was already the greatest harvest she could expect. It implied that she would, in the future, have the possibility to be a higher up of the Knight Temple. And it also signified that she would be able to reach the higher stages of the world of knights. She basically did not even think about raising her ranking in addition to that. Long Hao Chen was silent, looking at his teacher, he pondered deeply before saying, Teacher, if I run up against that man, I hope to fight against him with my utmost. Ye Hua looked unconvinced, Is that really necessary? Long Hao Chen nodded without hesitation, and replied, Teacher, fighting against an extremely powerful opponent will arouse my potential even more effectively. The fight against Han Yu had great benefits to me. Ye Hua muttered to himself hesitantly, before saying Okay, okay, since this is your own decision, teacher wont stop you, but youll have to weigh your abilities and act ordingly. You will have the asion to try to fight against other powerhouses during the final stage of thepetition after all. Mh Long Hao Chen let out a groan of agreement. What he didnt tell Ye Hua was that he was gradually growing closer and closer to the fifth step, and in this moment, what he needed the most was the asion to arouse his potential through battles. Going through uninterrupted fights would stimte his senses, and give him the asion to break through the final bottleneck. Long Xing Yu was currently the strongest Retribution Knight of the Alliance, and although he only taught Long Hao Chen for two little years, he passed on to Long Hao Chen the equivalent of a whole lifetime worth of experience as a knight. Among the most important things he told him, there was the fact that every time he would meet a bottleneck, challenges against opponents stronger than him were the best opportunities to break through. Long Hao Chens fathers words were deeply engraved in his mind; fights were a sort of test. Every time he faced a powerful enemy, his spiritual energys growth was tremendously increased, improving his use of his abilities and his grasp on them. In addition, unceasingly challenging powerhouses could further strengthen his determination. At that moment, the drawing of lots had already started. Long Hao Chens gaze was focused on the three knights seated in the first row. Slowly taking deep breaths, with a firm look, as firm as a boulder, he sat. The other people were praying not to face these opponent of the fifth step, but he only wished he could face these kinds of powerhouses. #1, #97. In the air, two huge numbers gradually became distinct. In the split second these numbers appeared, Long Hao Chens eyes went wide. With a _shua_ sound, he stood up. In a split second, there was nothing left of his formerly gentle look that became, instead, extremely strict. Without the slightest doubt, these two numbers had appeared in front of them. Another powerhouse of the fifth step. The other knights who managed to remain werentcking will or persistence, but now, these knights of the fourth step gave Long Hao Chen bewildering looks. To face two opponents of the fifth step in a row, his luck was really too In the first row, a youth slowly got up. Slowly turning around, he looked at Long Hao Chen. This knight bearing #1 was precisely the ck d youth who formerly gave Long Hao Chen a provoking look. He was the very firstpetitor who realized Long Hao Chens threat. The two exchanged nces, as they simultaneously concentrated on each other. #1 made a gesture towards Long Hao Chen, before taking the lead, taking big strides and heading towards the stadium. Intimidating fluctuations of spiritual energy were emitted each time he took a step, bursting out. At this moment, Ye Hua didnt bother Long Hao Chen further with his warnings. He didnt want to let his mood influence Long Hao Chen. On Long Hao Chens face, he had immediately seen his unwavering determination. Even during his previous fight against Han Yu, such an intense fighting spirit didnt appear. At the corner of the stadium, Han Yu calmly stood there. He came in the early morning; no matter how unwilling he was, deep inside, there was nothing he could do to change his destiny in the uing five years. Instead, he wished in this very moment for Long Hao Chen to prevail over his opponent, and wanted to take a good look, _After everything Grandfather said regarding this fourteen years old genius knight, lets see at what level his talent really is._ Walking into the stadium without hurry, although Long Hao Chen wasnt very sturdy, his steps were quite firm. With every step he took, he appeared more and more imposing. His look was extremely sharp, and staring at this youth who was already standing in the middle of the ground, his gaze became fiery. Do you have a mount? The ck d youth calmly asked. Long Hao Chen shook his head, and without trying to conceal himself, he told him the truth, For the time being, I dont have it. The ck d youth nodded, and answered, Okay, then well fight without summoning mounts. Lets have a fair battle. When these same words were spoken out by this ck d youth, Long Hao Chen could feel that it wasnt arrogance, but self-confidence. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 99 - Clash of Retribution Knights (I)

Chapter 99: sh of Retribution Knights (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales When he saw this ck-d youth for the first time, Long Hao Chen had immediately felt that he would be an extremely powerful opponent. Even when the three other knights, including Han Yu, appeared, they hadnt left him with such a big impression. It was an intuition of danger. When the ck-d youth told Long Hao Chen that he wouldnt summon his mount, he let out an extreme aura of self confidence. Ones pride had to be coherent with his abilities. His eyes firmly stared at Long Hao Chen, but from them, Long Hao Chen was unable to tell what this youths state of mind was. As they faced each other, Long Hao Chens eyes were filled with a burning fighting spirit. Even though he was only 14 and his build could clearly not match this ck-d youth who was in his twenties, in terms of vigor, he wasnt losing in the slightest. These two characters temperaments were as different as the sky and the earth. Long Hao Chen was like a sharp de who showed his abilities by unceasingly raising his fighting spirit, as if he was a volcano that could erupt at any moment. The ck-d youth was extremely calm, appearing like a bottomless abyss that swallowed Long Hao Chens fighting spirit. A big coincidence was that their referee was the same one who was in charge of ruling Long Hao Chens match with Han Yu. He calmly walk ahead and said, The match may begin. My name is Yang Wenzhao. I believe that you are perhaps going to be a good rival of mine in the near future. The ck-d youth had a smile on his face, and it seemed as if a change appeared in his temperament; he was previously extremely calm, but Long Hao Chen had no way to determine his current feelings. My name is Long Hao Chen, and it is now that I am your opponent. Long Hao Chen calmly said, Before the match starts, its oue cannot be decided. It is alsopletely fine if you summon your mount; it is your own power. Yang Wenzhao nodded, Lets start. As he spoke, his hands suddenly moved to the sides of his body, and a golden radiance appeared simultaneously from his two hands. They turned into two identical ymores. Without the slightest doubt, he possessed a magic storage item as well. A Retribution Knight! Long Hao Chens pupils suddenly shrank and started to sparkle intensely. He took out his two swords as well, a Light Sword and a Fire Sword that instantly appeared in his hands. Right, this was a confrontation between two Retribution Knights. A strong spiritual energy broke out, and Long Hao Chen and Yang Wenzhao moved at the same time. Long Hao Chen charged like an arrow towards Yang Wenzhao; it was the first time during the Demon Hunt Selection that he took the initiative tounch the offense. [Faith Halo], [Guardians Favor], [Imposing Ring], three amplification Guardian Knight skills appeared simultaneously. While fighting as a Retribution Knight, Long Hao Chen drew support from his Guardian Knight skills. The reason why there were no knights who chose to train in both the Guardian and Retribution paths was that there would be far too many abilities to learn. To fully use ones abilities required the knight to rely on his spiritual energy. The higher the cultivation level was, the stronger the ability was, but the spiritual energy consumption would increase as well. The path of training as both a Guardian and a Retributor Knight at the same time would lead one to uninterruptedly use arge quantity of skills and consume his spiritual energy far too quickly. Furthermore, to embrace the two specializations at the same time could lead one to be unable to use the skills of both specializations to the best of their potential. But Long Hao Chen was an exception; his innate internal spiritual energy was at the 97th level, something unprecedented in history! This terrifying innate internal spiritual energy led him to use far less spiritual energy than the other knights. Not only that, he could alsoprehend every skill rted to the light attribute much more easily. Over the past five years, Long Hao Chen studied under Long Xing Yu and, immediately afterward, Ye Hua. His enormous amount of hard work was also backing his outstanding innate talent. In all of Hao Yue Hall, it was absolutely impossible to find another knight as diligent as Long Hao Chen. Sess demanded 99% diligence and 1% talent. This 1% of talent was the most important part, but simrly, no one could be sessful withcking efforts. But Long Hao Chen had both. His Light Sword and his me Sword simultaneously turned white, [Pure White Edge]. In ordance with the rules of thepetition, before both sides started attacking, there had to be a distance of 30 meters separating them. In other words, while Long Hao Chen was charging to cover these 30 meters, he used four skills one after another. These four skills didnt have a high consumption of spiritual energy, but adding them up, the total cost exceeded 150 units. Naturally, this was for ordinary knights. The crucial point was that he fully used these abilities together; his Retribution Knight skills and his Guardian Knight skills were interacting together appropriately, without the slightest w. It wasnt only the eight remainingpetitors who were looking attentively at this match, but on the tform, those seniors of the Knight Alliance were simrly watching with their whole attention, without blinking an eye. As there was still a distance of three meters separating him from Long Hao Chen, Yang Wenzhao started to move. His left foot took arge step forward and his whole body immediately followed. The ymore in his left hand was still at his side, but he inclined the one in his right hand, lifting it up diagonally. With a single move, Yang Wenzhao disyed his formidable power. He didnt use any skills, but the edge of his de was covered with a 66-centimeter golden glow, making his ymore appear longer than it was originally. In his next action, the ymore swept past the ground and shed forward. Stop! Long Hao Chen suddenly stopped in the middle of his charge and his body seemed as if it had struck against a wall. His left foot stamped on the ground as if he had lost his bnce and was about to fall to the side, but the me Sword in his left hand ruthlessly hit the ground, sessfully throwing his body in the air. He avoided this attack of Yang Wenzhao just in time. He seized the opportunity tounch a stab using his Light Sword, and using the skill [Thorny Charge], he aimed straight at Yang Wenzhaos chest. Thats right, his opponents spiritual energy outstripped his own by far, so Long Hao Chen didnt choose to fight recklessly, but he instead chose to use his skills! Good! Yang Wenzhao shouted out loudly; he hadnt expected Long Hao Chen to use such a troublesome technique in the middle of his attack. Lifting up the sword in his left hand and simultaneously kicking his right foot with his left foot, he went against all expectations and interrupted his previous motion, even more suddenly and effectively than Long Hao Chen. _Ding._ Long Hao Chens Light Sword and the ymore in Yang Wenzhaos hand collided. Thistter knight discovered to his astonishment that Long Hao Chens sword didnt contain much power. Pulled up by the ymore in his left hand, Long Hao Chen seized the opportunity to make his body spin even faster. Simultaneously swinging his two swords, he chopped towards Yang Wenzhao. Yang Wenzhao didnt move, nor did he attempt to avoid this attack. He used his two ymores, simultaneously creating little ripples in the air. With nking sounds, a series of explosions sounded in the air. In the time of a breath, Long Hao Chen and Yang Wenzhaos weapons collided numerous times. Long Hao Chens swords were like meat grinders, but more importantly, he attacked continuously, using Yang Wenzhaos defensive power to increase his own spinning speed. It further raised the frequency of his attacks. Gradually, a gold-colored halo scattered on Long Hao Chens body, and his figure became blurred. Yang Wenzhao started to show a surprised expression; his attacks frequency could only barely keep up with Long Hao Chens uninterrupted assault. But Long Hao Chens attacks were only bing fiercer; they seemed as if they were endless. In this shortpse of time, he had already lost track of the number of attacks he had to withstand. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 100 - Clash Of Retribution Knights (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales I tried to italicise the skills, instead of using [brackets] in this chapter, please let me know whether you prefer italicizing or brackets. _Ive been fooled._ This was Yang Wenzhaos first reaction. He immediately understood that these attacks from Long Hao Chen were all out efforts, without any restriction. His main purpose was clearly to overwhelm him. In the lounge, the Saint Knight Head muttered to himself, This is _Condemning Revolving Sword_. As expected, he inherited this skill as well; as expected What a shame that this _Condemning Revolving Sword_ is far from perfect. Without enough spiritual energy, he cannot disy the murderous power of this purely offensive retribution skill. _PuC_ Yang Wenzhao suddenly braced his sword against the ground, and an intense gold-colored glow was emitted by the ground, ruthlessly attacking Long Hao Chen who was in the middle of his _Condemning Revolving Sword_. It was _Heavenly Battle Array_. _Heavenly Battle Array_ couldnt really shake Long Hao Chen; as he fully used _Condemning Revolving Sword_ , Long Hao Chens fighting spirit was already at its peak and bursting out. Under these rotations, his spiritual energy was taking the shape of a frightening whirlpool around him. Even if Yang Wenzhao had a liquid spiritual energy, a mere _Heavenly Battle Array_ had no way to stop Long Hao Chen. But liquid spiritual energy was after all liquid spiritual energy, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but feel sluggish as his body kept rotating so quickly. Immediately, Yang Wenchao stuck the ymore in his left hand into the ground, as the liquid spiritual energy surrounding his body vibrated with an astonishing frequency broke out with a whistling sound resembling a dragons hiss. Immediately afterwards, in the eyes of the spectators, Yang Wenzhao instantly took the shape of a gold-colored dragon who was soaring in the sky, ferociously striking Long Hao Chen who was still executing his _Condemning Revolving Sword_. _Ascending Dragons Strike_ , the Retribution Knight skill of the fifth step with the most important offensive potential. In front of the pressure of _Condemning Revolving Sword_ , Yang Wenzhao had no choice but use his most powerful skill to turn the situation around. _BangC_ The enormous gold-colored dragon disappeared and emitted dusts of bright light. From there, Yang Wenzhao appeared. His both feet fell on the ground, as he drew three steps back, and stood firm. On the other side, Long Hao Chen who was previously spinning at a fast pace suddenly stopped. After having whirled for such a long time the air, as he reached the ground, he stumbled 7 or 8 steps back and could only stand on his feet with difficulty. Byparing the changes in their breaths, it could clearly be seen that Long Hao Chen used up more spiritual energy than his opponent. His _Condemning Revolving Sword_ was powerful, but it was also extremely exhausting to him. Furthermore, Yang Wenzhaos liquid spiritual energy truly had an overwhelming effect. However, Yang Wenzhao was instantly astonished by the fact that even though he could barely stand on his two feet, Long Hao Chen held his two swords on both sides and a gold-colored fog was emitted around him in a sh, _Storing Power_. What an unyielding fighting spirit! Yang Wenzhao felt the blood in his body raising; he naturally understood that Long Hao Chen was in no way better than him, but under such circumstances, he still chose to immediately put to use the same skill as before. Since a few days ago, Long Hao Chen had been using continuously _Storing Power_ to quicken his own cultivation, whileprehending the profound mystery of the liquid spiritual energy. Unceasingly deepening his understanding of this skill made him master it even more than in the past; _Storing Power_ s speed had clearly increased. _Assault_. Yang Wenzhao made the same choice Han Yu did on the previous day. Seeing him storing power, he immediatelyunched _Assault_ without the slightest hesitation. His movements were even swifter than Han Yus; with his two swords on his two sides, he threw himself at Long Hao Chen, covered by a strong gold-colored light. His body was rushing forward, as this gold-colored light be deeper and deeper, and the rich liquid spiritual energy surrounding his body also became denser. Without the slightest change of expression, Long Hao Chen calmly stood at the same ce, motionless, looking at Yang Wenzhao who was ruthlessly charging. _Thorny Charge_. Using a simple skill, Yang Wenzhao simply tried to interrupt Long Hao Chens _Storing Power_. Seeing from his previous _Condemning Revolving Sword_ , Long Hao Chen for sure possessed a lot of secret skills. _Condemning Revolving Sword_ was a kind of skill that made Yang Wenzhao absolutely envious, it wasnt even something recorded in records of the Temple Alliance, but had to be a skill personally created by a formidable knight. _Dang_ Raising his me Sword, and using _Divine Obstruction_ , Long Hao Chen moved as soon as his opponent was extremely close to him. As he parried his opponents attack with his left hands sword, the Light Sword in his right hand was already chopping at him. All spectators could clearly see that when the light sword in Long Hao Chens hand approached, the little golden light that wrapped it grew brighter, until ultimately bing a dazzling glow, it was _Shining Sr Strike_. _Storing Power_ was absolutely not ineffective; even if the time of _Storing Power_ was short, it still increased the efficacy of a part of his spiritual energy. This _Shining Sr Strike_ of Long Hao Chen gave a sensation of justice and fairness; this gaudy sunlight seemed quite mild, and the golden core of this _Shining Sr Strike_ seemed frozen. _Bang_ The two attacks met up, Yang Wenzhao lifted up the sword in his left hand, blocking Long Hao Chens _Shining Sr Strike_ with a simple _Pure White Edge_. But he waspletely astounded. It was because from this _Shining Sr Strike_ , he could clearly see that Long Hao Chens spiritual energy had reached the threshold of the transformation into liquid. Actually, from the beginning of the battle, Yang Wenzhao hadnt gone all out. He wanted to see the worth of this youth who seemed a lot younger than himself, to evaluate his level; he had, after all, prevailed over Han Yu. The fact that Long Hao Chen was at the same time a Guardian Knight and a Retribution knight aroused his interest even more. He was absolutely sure that Long Hao Chen was no match for him, so he had held back his attacks up to now, only attaching importance to testing his opponent. But as his test went on, he was more and more shocked, and his previous attack was actually using all his strength. If it wasnt the case, even with his cultivation level, how could a _Pure White Edge_ be a match for a _Shining Sr Strike_? _Puh_ , Long Hao Chen took a step back while Yang Wenzhao didnt move the slightest bit. However, the intense sunlight shone a second time in the row, it was, as before, a _Shining Sr Strike_. Despite his fragile appearance, Long Hao Chens current expression was extremely heroic. Tightly gripping his Light Sword, he initiated a _Divine Obstruction_ , together with the _Shining Sr Strike_ with his me Sword. _What a fast linking speed!_ One should know that _Shining Sr Strike_ is actually the most powerful skill at the fourth step. _Bam-_ This time, Yang Wenzhao didnt dare be careless. Swinging his two ymores, he parried once again Long Hao Chens attack. Only, this time, Long Hao Chen didnt fall back. His feet seemed to be moving in slow motion, but had a special cadence. While staying on the move, Long Hao Chen brandished his two swords. Under the astonished look of the surrounding observers, he continuously attacked,unching 18 blows of _Shining Sr Strike_. Each attack was vigorously executed, but more importantly, each of his blows was even more imposing than the previous one. Full of confidence, he made use of his momentum to oppress Yang Wenzhao who didnt even have the chance to use all his strength. However, this Yang Wenzhao was indeed formidable; standing at the same ce as before, he didnt even take a single step back after blocking 18 blows of _Shining Sr Strike_. So satisfying. Long Hao Chen cried out loudly. With this loud shout, he took a step back. Because as Yang Wenzhao blocked hisst attack, he used _Divine Obstruction_ , the gold-colored light forming _Bright Vengeance_ rapidly gathered in his two ymores,unching an _Instant st Cross Cut_. Long Hao Chen suddenly stopped his retreat and crossed the swords symmetrically in his two hands, _Divine Obstruction_. Rumble, rumble. Long Hao Chen stood on his two feet after having retreated a meter back, hepletely blocked his opponents offense. The Light Sword in his right hand was suddenly lifted up, and a rich holy aura appeared with a white glow; it was _Holy Sword_. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 101 - Clash of Retribution Knights (III)

Chapter 101: sh of Retribution Knights (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The skill [Holy Sword] actually needed to be charged with [Storing Power], or at least this is the case at Long Hao Chens current cultivation level; he needed to prepare it for at least a few seconds to possibly use [Holy Sword]. But this time, after he borrowed [Divine Obstruction]s might to parry his opponents attack, he immediately used the skill [Bright Vengeance], and used it to form [Holy Sword]. His use of this formidable secret skill showed how astonishing his background was. [Holy Sword] was not even among the secret skills recorded by the Knight Temple. Good. Yang Wenzhao suddenly smiled; he didnt expect Long Hao Chen, who could temporarily only use a single sword, to take advantage of this situation to counterattack. Stretching his two arms in front, he, like Long Hao chen, emitted a holy aura from his whole body. The only difference was that his swords both started to emit a dazzling holy light. Clearly, he was nning on using [Holy Sword] with his two swords to answer to Long Hao Chens single [Holy Sword]. Hmpf. Long Hao Chen snorted coldly,pletely ignoring Yang Wenzhao. He lifted his head, looking at his Light Sword upraised, filled with a dazzling holy radiance. At this very moment, a peculiar red color filled his eyes. With his astonishing perception, how could he not feel that Yang Wenzhao wasnt going all-out in this battle against him? This was something Long Hao Chen couldnt ept, even more than defeat. Huh? From the tform, the first one to see that something was wrong was the Saint Knight Head Han Qian. He suddenly stood up, and said, full of astonishment, This child is really determined to win by all means. He is going as far as to use the skill of the seventh step, [Sacrifice]. Is Long Xing Yu mad? Dont tell me hes not afraid of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm? Having seen Long Hao Chens performances of thest days, he had naturally already guessed from whom his Inheritance Ring came. [Sacrifice] was a skill that could be learnt by both specialities, Guardian Knights and Retribution Knights. It was a secret skill for knights of the seventh step. However, what Han Qian didnt know was that Long Hao Chens innate internal spiritual energy was at the 97th level. If it wasnt the case, how could Long Xing Yu possibly do something that could harm his own son? He had carefully thought before putting the seals on this Retribution Ring. Yang Wenzhao was a genuine knight of the fifth step, so it was naturally a lot easier for him to use [Holy Sword]. However, being the closest to Long Hao Chen, he discovered at the same time as Han Qian from the tform that something was wrong with the current Long Hao Chen. _What is he doing?_ Yang Wenzhao was startled, and he didnt dare ignore this threat; he had faintly sensed the crisis that was facing him. [Assault]. Yang Wenzhao instantly broke out, with a three times faster speed than previously. Feeling that the situation was getting dangerous, he decided without the slightest hesitation to go all out! Directly using all his strength, he immediately made this decision. Two swords were crossed, it was a [Radiant Cross Cut]. In the middle of his [Assault], Yang Wenzhao simultaneously waved his two swords, forming a cross with them; it was a [Radiant Cross Cut]. It could be considered as abinatorial skill. Long Hao Chen had previously relied on [Holy Sword] to break through the defense of the knight of the fifth step, Han Yu, so one could imagine how powerful this [Radiant Cross Cut] that used [Holy Sword] as its foundation was. A milky white-colored [Radiant Cross Cut] filled with an iparable holy aura appeared, directly aiming at Long Hao Chen. Where it passed, a fragrant odor was transmitted in the air. In terms of power, this skill was already nearing the sixth step. And at this very moment, an overwhelming golden-red-colored radiance filled with sadness, desperation, and sharpness loudly erupted from Long Hao Chens body. This gold-red light was actually not a mixture of light and fire at all. It felt as if the current Long Hao Chen was all alone, confronting countless enemies. An isted knight. Filled with his self confidence and with the purest fighting spirit going through his blood, this gold-red radiance waspletely filled with madness. cing his me Sword horizontally, he used [Divine Obstruction]. The sharp gold-red radiance instantly turned into a [Divine Obstruction]; it seemed as if a sort of gold-red mantle was entirely covering Long Hao Chens body. One has to know that [Divine Obstruction] is excellent to resist physical attacks, and it is very hard for it topletely block attacks made of energy, but the current Long Hao Chen actually did it. _BangC_ The gold-red radiance glittered even more intensely as Long Hao Chen unexpectedly took on the [Radiant Cross Cut] without taking a single step back. It only caused a mouthful of blood to appear in the corner of his lips. Taking a step forward, he appeared like an enormous lump of bright light. Charging straight towards Yang Wenzhao, the Light Sword chopped down, as a blood-colored [Holy Sword] filled the atmosphere. Yang Wenzhao didnt expect his own [Radiant Cross Cut] to be so easily broken. And at this very moment, he recognized the skill Long Hao Chen was using. [Sacrifice]? So he could unexpectedly use [Sacrifice]? To dare use [Sacrifice], can it be that hes not afraid of dying from having his blood depleted? To knights, the skill [Sacrifice] was used as ast resort; for one to sacrifice himself to protect hisrades; to sacrifice himself to deal with his enemies. If he wanted to use this skill, one had to be determined enough to put his life at stake, and as a requirement, he had topletely grasp the Ten Rules of a Knight. Upon using it, ones blood willpletely fuse with his spiritual energy, forming a single entity, andpletely bypassing the actual strength provided by his cultivation level. But the duration was short, and a single mistake could cause him to die from his blood beingpletely dried up. At least, it would greatly deplete his vitality. From Yang Wenzhaos point of view, this was nothing more than a littlepetition, but Long Hao Chen went so far as to use an ability like [Sacrifice] for the sake of victory. Why did he do so? He did it for his honor as a knight. At the moment Long Hao Chen felt that his opponent wasnt fighting with his full strength, he becamepletely obstinate; his thirst for victory as well as the humiliation he felt from this act pushed him to use this ability, even though he had never really managed toprehend it. ngC Yang Wenzhao used [Divine Obstruction] as well, to block this blood-colored [Holy Sword], but was knocked five steps back. He could clearly feel that this blood-colored [Holy Sword] contained a willpower that reached an extremely frightening level. Considering the intensity of his spiritual energy, even after using [Sacrifice], he was only at most at equal level with him. However, his astonishing willpower made Yang Wenzhao feel as if he was somehow inferior. At this very moment, from Long Hao Chens chest, a white glow of light appeared, and immediately following, a simr red glow appeared on Yang Wenzhaos body. Knight skill used by both specialities, [Lock]. Skill of the sixth step. A Saint Spiritual Stove! From the tform, Han Qian cried out in astonishment. With a single nce, he saw that Long Hao Chens [Sacrifice] aftereffects were suppressed by his Saint Spiritual Stove, as heunched the skill [Lock]. Just like [Storing Power], it was an auxiliary skill, but [Target Lock] was an extremely practical skill that all knights who reached the level of Radiant Knight could learn. In the case that an opponent was locked on, all the attacks of the knight who used [Lock] would automatically target it. Even [Assault], [Charge] and this kind of abilities aiming in straight line would have the effect of pursuing the target. The sparkling golden red glitter surrounding Long Hao Chen rose in the air as he used [Lock]. Waving his two swords, he whirled, aiming straight towards Yang Wenzhao. It was [Holy Sword]bined with [Condemning Revolving Sword], and under the effect of [Sacrifice]. With Long Hao Chens current cultivation level, his [Sacrifice] could onlyst at most 10 seconds. As a result, he didnt waste time and directly used his most powerful attack. A dragon cry sounded; facing [Sacrifice], how could Yang Wenzhao dare be careless? He once again used [Ascending Dragons Strike]. After all, he had noticed that [Condemning Revolving Sword] was at its weakest when it was justunched. As time passed, its power would just unceasingly increase. The speed of this [Ascending Dragons Strike]unched by Yang Wenzhao, that just followed his [Divine Obstruction], was iparable to his previous one. _Bang_ The same skill as the one he used previously had an entirely different result this time. In the instant the [Ascending Dragons Strike] apanied with a dragon cry collided against [Condemning Revolving Sword], it was smashed in the ground. Furthermore, [Condemning Revolving Sword] chased after him immediately after he fell. _So powerful._ Yang Wenzhao was shocked. Facing an opponent whose cultivation level was far from equalling his, he was suppressed to an extent he would never have expected. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 102 - Cai’er’s Wrath (1)

Chapter 102: Caiers Wrath (1)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Hao Chen, under the effect of [Sacrifice], had entered a new boundary, facing death without fear. He hadpletely gone all out and unleashed all his potential. Actually, after he received Lin Xins medicine from him as a present, he could rely on it to temporarily improve his cultivation level. However, seeing that his opponent didnt even summon his mount, how could Long Hao Chen ept to rely on medicine to contend against him? Under the pressure of Yang Wenzhaos enormous might, hisprehension of [Sacrifice] had burst forth. At this very moment, after his five years of training the abilities used by Retribution Knights surged out, it could be said that hisprehension was at its peak; he could be called almost aplete master of all the abilities he studied. Yang Wenzhao sighed to himself and from his chest, drops of blue light floated out. Each of these drops were filled with a sparkling gloss; it seemed as if they were some sorts of blue-colored treasure stones. And suddenly, it collided against Long Hao Chen. A spiritual stove! He was confident in his ability of resisting Long Hao Chens attack, but if he directly took it on, he would definitely end up wounded. And Yang Wenzhaos ambitions werent limited to with this first round; what he aimed for was the first ce of this knightpetition, and the first ce of the final stage of the Demon Hunt Selection. At such a moment, how could he let himself end up wounded? _An, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang_ Repeated explosions unceasingly sounded on the revolving spiral formed by Long Hao Chen. Each dot of sparkling blue crystal flew out, colliding with his body, and producing intense explosions. Each of these explosions reduced the intensity of the gold-red radiance surrounding Long Hao Chen by a little bit, together with his rotating speed. When Long Hao Chen drew close to Yang Wenzhao, his [Spiraling Revolving Sword] could already not be maintained anymore. _Bang._ The two people fell back simultaneously; Yang Wenzhao took three steps back while letting out a golden fog around him,ing out from his chest, as he took a little breather. From afar, Long Hao Chen stood, leaning on his swords. The red color on his eyes started disappearing, and almost all his spiritual energy had melted. But as before, he stood straight, gazing at Yang Wenzhao, with a face like golden paper, with blood continuously spilling from his nose and mouth. Topel me into using my Starsea Spiritual Stove to stop your attack, my respects. It wasnt easy to beat you. Yang Wenzhao gave Long Hao Chen a thumbs up, I look forward to when youll obtain a mount, we will have another spar at this moment. The match is over, #1 victorious. The referee eagerly called out, and immediately following, from the podium, from the direction of the VIP tform, a small amount of silver whitish light dropped down, illuminating Long Hao Chens body. [Holy Heal], Guardian Knight skill of the seventh step. The minuscules drops of silver-colored glorious light fell on Long Hao Chens body, entering it, purifying his body and blood and healing his internal injuries. Hao Chen. At the same time the referee dered the match over, a protective mantle appeared from around the stadium; it belonged to Ye Hua, who immediately rushed into the stage, standing there with difficulty, beside Long Hao Chen. Still, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Despite the effects of [Holy Heal], Long Hao Chen fell unconscious in Ye Huas bosom. However, no one paid attention to the fact that on his chest, a white glow was faintly undting. From the corner, Han Yu still stood there, he had been motionless for a good amount of time. Long Hao Chen had finally ended up losing against Yang Wenzhao, but even if he lost this match, he was still full of honor! A spiritual stove! They both unexpectedly had a spiritual stove, this little detail was enough to make Han Yu breath with difficulty. _What was this skill Long Hao Chen used?_ He knew about [Sacrifice], but he didnt have any idea about what this skill that made Long Hao Chen seemingly whirl was. He wondered; what if it was him? Without relying on his mount, could he win against Long Hao Chen going all out and using the Sacrifice mode? Han Yu didnt wish to think about it further, because he clearly knew the facts. The fact is that he lost against Long Hao Chen in a fair fight. And this was without mentioning the crucial point; he was only 14, only 14 years-old! Often, ones nature could determine his sesses and failures. If it was someone else, he would probably have been discouraged upon seeing such an attack, but Han Yu, having the nature of someone who bes braver when facing hardships, had instead realizing something important. He suddenly realized his grandfathers scheme. Thats right, if this year, he was only 14 years-old, but could already match knights of the fifth step, what could his limit possibly be? He was himself 8 years older, so he was older by a wide gap. How challenging was it to chase after him! Simrly, he possessed an incredibly high potential. In regard to his future experiences and improvements, it was obvious that staying by his side would not only enable him to became a part of a Demon Hunt Squad, but would also enable him to umte a lot of experiences. Perhaps, it could even be the best choice possible for him. The previous painfulness and bitterness in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving behind a firm look; full of resolve, he kept his goal firmly in mind to never lose sight of it again. The existence of a super-genius like Long Hao Chen was a steady source of encouragement for him. Caier calmly stood in the street, she was there since early morning and felt that the sunlight which was shining upon her was bing more and more intense, as she showed a gentle face. Thinking about her conversation with Long Hao Chen on the previous day, she couldnt stop her heartbeat from elerating. As an assassin, this kind of feelings was something that should never appear in her, but she couldnt refrain from thinking about him. Her hand was slender, vigorous; her palm was wide, and everytime he held it, it felt to her as if her palm was about to cry out, begging forgiveness: she liked this feeling of being protected. Since her early childhood, it was the first time she experienced this. She could never forget that time when they met, long ago. At that time, Long Hao Chen was only nine, but he used his feeble body to protect her. During the event, he was very little, but his courage and his kindness were beyond limits. Even if it was an adult instead of Long Hao Chen, would they have protected her like he did? She decided to offer him the forget-me-not ring which was iparably important to her, because at that time, little Caier trusted her intuition. Actually, she hadnt expected that she woulde to meet Long Hao Chen once again, but she happened to recognize the ring she had offered him, full of resolution, forget me not. She didnt know whether she wanted to keep this secret for herself or wanted him to discover it by himself. From her early childhood, she lived her life in an ice-cold world. To her, warmth was a hostile feeling, and also a feeling that only Long Hao Chen managed to make her feel. Led along by his hand everyday, walking on a short road was the happiest period of Caiers life. She was looking forward to this moment even more than him. Compared to this happiness, even something like the Demon Hunt Selection was no big deal. Thinking about the Demon Hunt Selection, Caier couldnt help but reveal a smiling expression from behind her veil. _He said that he would hold my hand forever, and protect me. During the final stage of thepetition, I will lend him a hand._ To an ordinary blind person, losing his sight was undoubtedly painful, but blind peoples inner worlds were a lot richer than ordinary peoples, to the extent that their imagination power couldnt possibly bepared. Calmly reminiscing every little detail of their story, Caier was soaked in happiness while waiting for him. A littleter, she would once again let him take her hand and lead her to this road filled with warmth andfort. Time gradually passed. She was calmly waiting, still standing at the same ce. Facing the suns heat, that was gradually bing an afternoons tepidness. She wasnt the slightest bit fretful, and only calmly waited. _He hasnte, he still hasnte._ As the suns heat disappeared, a burst of cold wind brushed her face, and Caier suddenly felt a shiver. _How long? This is a cold breeze that should only be produced in the evening._ Having stayed in Holy City for so long, this was something she was absolutely sure about. _He didnte? Why didnt hee? Can it be that he is already regretting?_ Sincere and painful faint tears gradually flew down from Caiers eyes, about to inundate the surroundings. _He wille, he will definitelye._ Caier grasped her bamboo cane, gradually tighter and tighter. It could clearly be seen that her knuckles were already turning white. The twilight of the sunset gradually dissipated, and the night scene was filling the scenery of the whole Holy City, lowering the temperature further, but it couldntpare with the coldness of Caiers heart. This petite girl looked like she felt incredibly lonely, and silent, it looked almost like her shadow waspletely covering her. _Why? Why didnt youe?_ Drops of tears followed from Caiers face, quietly sliding along. _He wonte, its already deep night._ Slowly turning around, Caier turned around, towards her hotel, as she started walking unsteadily to return back. Suddenly, her steps stopped, and she opened wide her eyes. _He He had a match today. Could it be that it is because something happened to him that he couldnte?_ Having this thought, Caier suddenly became anxious from the bottom of her heart. She didnt know why, but she would have prefered to go back on yesterdays promise rather than having any kind of ident happening to him. _He definitely had an ident._ In the next instant, Caier waspletely sure about this supposition. Thinking back about what happened between them earlier, she immediately felt ashamed. To make such stupid suppositions, she was really shameful. Considering his nature, the first thing that should havee to her mind wasnt whether he could have gone back on his promise; even if he really went back on his promise, was it really worse than if something happened to him? No, definitely not! The bamboo cane hit on the ground in sessions as her unsteady steps disappeared. In an astounding speed, she disappeared in the middle of the boundless night. Half an hourter. Caier was calmly seated on a chair, in her room, her hand still grasping her cane. But her bodys coldness filled the whole room, turning it at least ten degrees colder than the outside of the building. Three meters afar, in front of her, a fully armored ck-d person said in a low voice, Its as I said. Long Hao Chen has been healed by the [Holy Heal] of a powerhouse of the Temple, so his life shouldnt be harmed, but his vitality is likely to be depleted. Whether he can participate in theter stage of thepetition or not is still unknown though. You may withdraw. Caiers ice-cold voice seemed topletely freeze the air. Yes, this subordinate is taking his leave. The ck-d man left the room withrge strides, and after he left, he could clearly feel that his own blood had been frozen by the murderous intent released by Caier. *[Long Taos]: side characters in Chinese operas who perform acrobatics and fight scenes *[12.47 to 13.07]: dont ask me about the tree sap Chapter 103 - Cai’er’s Wrath (2)

The temperature in the room dropped down once again and astonishingly, the cane in Caiers hand pierced the floor of the room. Yang Wen Zhao. A pitch-ck ring appeared and twinkled from Caiers chest, and in the next instant, she, who was previously seated on the chair, started to disappear, little by little. More precisely, it was her afterimage that was gradually fading away. Yang Wenzhao was just having dinner; after having beaten Long Hao Chen, he had already entered the top five, and he was now one step closer to his final goal. Only, this fight left him with a feeling of unease. It was the kind of feeling that hadnt arisen in him for several years. _How old is he exactly?_ After the match, Yang Wenzhao investigated on this matter, but didnt get any answer. One should know that even though some matters have kept him froming, he still had an important position within the Temple. Hes at least four or five years younger than me. Yang Wenzhao murmured to himself, Only, I dont know whether it is his innate talents that are better than mine or his efforts. Perhaps, in a couple months at most, he will break through to the fifth step. And I am currently only at the third rank of the fifth step. If he keeps improving at such a rate, he will most likely be my greatest rival in the future. At this point, Yang Wenzhao revealed a faint smile, Its good like that, having this kind of rival will be a source of motivation for me, it will have beneficial effects on my future progression. This kind of person finally appeared in the Knight Temple; only, I hope that his mount wont disappoint me. During his spar with Long Hao Chen, he was greatly shocked, especially when Long Hao Chen used the skill [Sacrifice]. Even though the consequences were unknown to him, after he used it, Long Hao Chen became an extremely hard opponent to deal with. If not for his Spiritual Stoves ability, even though he could normally hold out for the duration of [Sacrifice], he would definitely have ended up wounded. Saint Spiritual Stove? Theres still a wide gap between it and my Starsea Spiritual Stove. The Starsea Spiritual Stove was ranked 18th among the spiritual stove that knights could fuse with. It surpassed by far the Saint Spiritual Stove in terms of ranking, and could evolve up to three times. Yang Wenzhao had currently alreadypleted the first evolution: it was what he had mostly relied on during his previous match. Ga ap? Suddenly, these two words echoed in Yang Wenzhaos room. What made him turn pale with fright was that this voice could be heard from all directions, he could basically not determine its source at all. And even with his good senses, he didnt feel this persons arrival at all. The window trembled, and in the next instant, a slim silhouette quietly emerged in front of Yang Wenzhao. Yang Wenzhao swiftly took a step back. As one of his hands glittered, two ymores appeared in his hands and a strong radiance erupted from his body, instantly lighting the whole house. In such a crisis, he calmly reacted to the situation, but inwardly, his fear was far from having disappeared. If not for the fact the person before his eyes had revealed herself voluntarily, there was no way he would have detected her arrival, so if she had mounted a sneak attack Yang Wenzhao didnt dare think any longer about that, and focused on the perilous situation he was currently facing. An assassin? He calmly voiced out, while carefully observing the person he was facing. A ck long skirt, a part of her face was hidden by a ck veil, her right hand was grasping a blue cane, and her feeble body was blowing like a gust of wind. Her purple hair hung behind her body, but the thing that astonished Yang Wenzhao the most was that her eyes, which were not hidden by the veil, didnt contain the slightest emotion. You shouldnt have wounded him. Each word Caier let out was causing Yang Wenzhaos heart to palpitate. Magic sound waves going through the mind? Yang Wenzhao instantly became careful, the radiance surrounding his body materialized, forming after condensing a faint armor covering his whole body and from his chest, drops of blue shining rings were released. Facing this girl he never saw before but who was about to threaten his life, he could only go all out. PfC Caiers hand was still gripping her cane at the same ce, as she stood there,pletely motionless. Completely sensing his surrounding, Yang Wenzhao suddenly lifted up the ymore in his right hand. With a Danng sound, a gold-colored radiance appeared, it was [Divine Obstruction]. A ck silhouette instantly leaned forward, it was the Caier who still stood at the same location; she started to progressively disappear. [Shadow Doppelganger]. Yang Wenzhao waspletely astonished, thrusting the ymore in his left hand into the ground, he immediately made [Heavenly Battle Array] break out, and simultaneously, ten minuscule blue-colored balls of light came out from his chest. These minuscule blue-colored balls of light didnt need hismand to instantly head towards the direction of the enemy and explode. Caier appeared by Yang Wenzhaos side; [Divine Obstruction] blocked her first blow, and Yang Wenzhaos reaction speed was extremely fast, the blue-colored balls of light released by his Starsea Spiritual Stove immediately exploded, covering her in their range. But without even letting Yang Wenzhao the time to take a breath, an unimaginable scene took ce. Caiers right hand that was put aside from beginning to end still didnt move the slightest bit, and on her right hand, a gold-colored dagger appeared, brutally creating sparkles. Then, Yang Wenzhao could clearly see that each of the Starsea Strikesunched by his Starsea Spiritual Stove were unexpectedly shattered. Caiers speed was so fast that Yang Wenzhao hadpletely lost sight of her. Each swing of the dagger in her right hand destroyed a ball of lightpletely scattering it as if they were clouds. In the next instant, all these minuscule blue balls hadpletely vanished. After everything that was said, Yang Wenzhao was still a true genius who had beaten Long Hao Chen, and in addition, a Retribution Knight; as such, he had already calmed down. When facing an assassin, a knight had a natural advantage, because knights defensive capabilities were high, and their offensive power wasntcking either. In addition, they had a lot of powerful abilities that could restrain assassins. Assassins had powerful offensive capabilities, but their defense was their fatal weakness: as long as they could be hit once or twice by the knight, they were very likely to lose the ability to keep fighting. Simultaneously shaking his two hands, heunched a pair of [Light Thorns]. A great amount of light energy surged out from the two ymores, turning into numerous sword shadows aiming at all directions. Considering the speed of this assasin, this attacking pattern was the most effective possible. Caier let out a cold snort as her frail body started to move ording to a peculiar tempo. It appeared that her body only moved slightly and with simple movements, but she avoided all these gold-colored sword shadows aimed at her that had basically no way at all to hit her. From Yang Wenzhaos point of view, the current Caier was like a ghosts shadow, as she easily avoided all his attacks. But wasnt this the secret skill that could be used by assassins of the fifth step, [Spectral Dodging]? Yang Wenzhao didnt manage to hit the enemy at all. A strong gold shine suddenly erupted from within his body, and a dragon cry could be heard, it was [Ascending Dragon Strike]. Only, this time, [Ascending Dragon Strike] wasnt directed upward, but forward. [Ascending Dragon Strike] wasnt only a skill with an extremely powerful firepower: it was an ability thatbined both attack and defense in one. With the help of the [Light Thorns] aimed forward, he took the opportunity tounch [Ascending Dragon Strike]. At that moment, his Starsea Spiritual Stove glittered once again, and another dozen of minuscule blue-colored balls of light rushed forth, aiming this time to defend him, rather than attacking. They revolved around his body at a great speed. Yang Wenzhaos aim was to take advantage of [Ascending Dragon Strike]s momentum to break out of the room, because in this narrow space, he had no way to bring out the most of his capabilities. Once he was outside, he could at least summon hispanion mount. At that moment, he would not be forced to stay so passive anymore. Caiers sparkling figure suddenly froze; she suddenly stopped to dodge and stood right in the middle of the path of [Ascending Dragon Strike]. Her delicate figure slightly stretched forward, and in a split second, a pitch-ck shadow appeared. This shadow was shapeless and looked like a reflection of Caier. _BangC_ The bright light disappeared and Yang Wenzhaos soaring figure was forcibly pushed back. His [Ascending Dragon Strike] technique that gave Long Hao Chen a lot of trouble had simply been blocked off by the overwhelming effect of this ck shadow. Yang Wenzhao stumbled back, he had never encountered a force such as the one that had just appeared in front of his very eyes. It was so imposing that it left a dozen of marks on his two swords. [Despotic Stab] was another assassin skill of the fifth step, but more importantly, Caiers body emitted a sort of cold air that seemed as if it contained death itself, making her opponent feel as if he was about to be stabbed by a sharp de. This frightening sensation was extremely hard to take. However, at that time, Yang Wenzhao didnt even have the time to analyze the situation. By chance, he had his Starsea Spiritual Stove to partly protect him. Even this tyrannical Starsea Spiritual Stove could not even disy its mighty power, and could only be suppressed under the influence of Caiers dagger. Suddenly, Yang Wenzhao woke up to reality. _This is the particr assassin skill known as [Sly Stab], if I remember well. I think it is aimed at countering magic effects, including the effect of the opponents spiritual stove._ This female assassin is clearly extremely young, but she was an incredible threat to him. It would be so great if he could use the skill [Lock]. If it was the case, he could at least deal with her [Spectral Dodging] with it. As he was thinking to himself, Yang Wenzhao didnt stay idle: [Assault], [Thorny Charge], [Shining Sr Strike], these three abilities wereunched at one go, and a blue radiance was emitted from the Starsea Spiritual Stove in his chest, turning into a blue topaz armor covering his whole body. This was the ability his spiritual stove gained after its first evolution, [Starry Spiritual Armor]. Yang Wenzhao clearly understood that if he kept fighting in such a narrow space, he would have to fight more and more passively. He would rather let himself be hit by the opponents attack if it enabled him to rush out. Although this assassin was quite formidable, as long as he could summon his mount, he should be able to match her. Caier was blind, but her attacks were even more tyrannical than thoseunched by assassins who could see. Her dominance was absolute. Actually, she had a lot of ways to attack him and achieve better results, but she remembered what her subordinate told her about the way Long Hao Chens match took ce, and the fact Yang Wenzhaos and Long Hao Chen fought head on from beginning to end. Head on? Then lets go head on too. Dang. The ck glow amplified, taking the [Shining Sr Strike] head on. Her strategy waspletely un-assassin-like, but rather warrior-like. Yang Wenzhao felt that his [Shining Sr Strike]s piercing power waspletely taken away as this radiance as dazzling as the sun disappeared. In terms of spiritual energy level, Yang Wenzhao could feel that his opponent wasnt a lot stronger than him, but her spiritual energy waspressed to a frightening extent. It felt as if she hadpletely fused with her deathly aura. _BangC_ Yang Wenzhaos body ruthlessly collided with the wall, shaking the whole hotel. In the next instant, thousands of hundreds of white lights suddenly appeared before his eyes. Block them? He had no way to block, and in a split second, Yang Wenzhaos mind becamepletely nk. If Long Hao Chen was there, he would definitely have recognized that the white light that came out from Caiers chest was corresponding to the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stoves. _Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut_ A series of meat cutting noises resounded, as countless blue rays sshed down from the air. An ice-cold voice directly echoed in Yang Wenzhaos ear, You used your spiritual stove to wound him, so I will use my spiritual stove to break yours. _Tut-_ All these dots of lights suddenly stopped in midair; Caier stood extremely close to Yang Wenzhao, sticking her sharp knife into the middle of his chest. As the direct victim, Yang Wenzhao felt as if the spiritual energy in his body waspletely depleted. And from beginning to end, Caier had only used her right hand. Chapter 104 - Saint Daughter of Samsara (I)

Chapter 104: Saint Daughter of Samsara (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales It started to be hard to breath for Yang Wenzhao; his voice also started to be rougher. He had never felt so close to death before that moment. She hade for his sake, for Long Hao Chens sake. Caiersst attack pierced through the right side of his chest and left him a shred of hope because she didnt aim for the middle of his chest. If she did so, she would definitely havepletely destroyed the Starsea Spiritual Stove, and if it was instead the left side of his chest that was prated, it would simply have led to his death. How could such a skilled assassin miss her target? She was actually just being lenient towards her opponent. Feeling her tant killing intent, Yang Wenzhao revealed a bitter smile, The Six Temples are originally a whole entity, and yet you Caier turned the dagger in her hand around, and instantly, Yang Wenzhao became speechless. So you know that the Six Great Temples are originally a whole entity? Then as someone whos from the same Temple as yours, why did you still seriously injure him? Everyone feared death, especially geniuses. Yang Wenzhao tried, with difficulty, to exin himself, He started it, by using the ability [Sacrifice], and anyway, its just apetition. Caier coldly answered, I dont care; anyway, youre the one who hurt him. If not for thispetition, you would already be a corpse right now. At this very moment, her ear moved slightly, and she retreated back, retracting her dagger. Immediately, blood surged out from Yang Wenzhaos chest, but with her astonishing speed, Caier didnt evene in contact with his blood. Her shadow twinkled, and in the next instant, she disappeared into the night, together with her blue cane. Yang Wenzhao tried to force himself to treat his wound. He currently looked extremely dull, and his body was still leaning against the wall, slowly slipping down. Deep inside, he wasnt really resenting her, but he mainly felt powerless. He couldnt help but feel that he had just avoided an even worse cmity. Perhaps, even with his mount, he wouldnt have been a match for this female assassin. By chance, the [Starry Spiritual Armor] had blocked the overwhelming majority of her attacks, but still, her Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove had left dozens of wounds, each one of them being an inch long deep cut, and in addition, he was severely wounded on his chest. He felt already dizzy because of the huge amount of blood he had lost. Graduallying back to his senses, Long Hao Chen opened his eyes with difficulty. He felt that his throat waspletely dried up, as if he was currently inside of a smelting furnace. He was, from the head to toe, filled with a scorching hot feeling. After struggling for a little while, Long Hao Chen finally felt that all the pain in his body had disappeared. Looking around with difficulty, he found out to his astonishment that there wasnt even a drop of his internal spiritual energy left, and as before, the Saint Spiritual Stove was motionlessly hovering in his chest. However, its brilliance had dimmed. What an overbearing skill this [Sacrifice] is! It only has a duration of 10 seconds, but it weakened him to such an extent. Fortunately, there wasnt any harm done to his internal organs, and he could feel that a gentle holy aura was uninterruptedly moistening his body. He didnt know it, but it was the effect of [Holy Healing], a healing ability used by powerhouses of the seventh step that acted on his internal organs, preventing heavy seque. Even though he was currently weakened, there werent any injuries left on his body! It was also because of his Scion of Light physique, possessing the most pure spiritual energy made of holy light possible. Even though [Sacrifice]s consumption was frightening, because of the purity of his internal spiritual energy, this consumption only had the effect of arousing his potential and igniting his senses. It was also one of the reasons why Long Xing Yu dared include this ability to those that were unsealed at the fifth step. He originally prepared it for him to use it in case he was in an extremely dangerous situation. But he didnt expect that as Long Hao Chen was on the verge of having his spiritual energy liquefied, during the fight against Yang Wenzhao, he would make such an all-out effort. Actually, in the Inheritance Ring, the seal for the abilities unlocked at the fifth step, were unlocked during the time of breakthrough, so he managed to use this ability even though he was only at the fourth cultivation step. If not for [Holy Healing]s effects, he would have had to stay lying in bed for a whole month. As he recovered his consciousness, the pain Long Hao Chen was feeling gradually weakened. He could vaguely feel that within his Saint Spiritual Stove, a sort of autonomous spiritual energy had been umted. He had no idea about how to control this spiritual energy, but he could feel that it hadntpletely disappeared from his own body. His spiritual energys recovery was only a question of time now. A smile was being drawn in the corners of Long Hao Chens mouth; even though he lost his match against Yang Wenzhao, he was still quite carefree. Long Hao Chen was convinced that after this struggle, by the time his spiritual energy was recovered, he would really break through to the fifth step. This Yang Wenzhao was an extremely tough opponent; he even had a spiritual stove, and furthermore, an offensive one. In this situation of a 1v1 fight, his Starsea Spiritual Stove obviously had a lot more utility than Long Hao Chens Saint Spiritual Stove. _Father was right, the best method for a Retribution Knight to progress is to go through unceasing battles, to feel andprehend everything in the middle of them. By the start of the next stage of the Demon Hunt Selection, I should havepletely recovered. ording to the days count, the Six Great Temples should have at least three days of preliminaries left, because there should be a lot of people left on the side of the Warrior Temple._ _ After the preliminaries, there will be three days of rest, so it will make a total of six days of rest. It should be enough for me to recoverpletely. The best would be if I can break through the fifth step by then. Even though Hao Yue is not here at the moment, it doesnt mean I cannot get a good ranking during the main stage of thepetition. _ _This contest will have a lot of benefits for me, but why is it that I feel that I am forgetting something even more important?_ Suddenly, the smile in Long Hao Chens face became frozen. Opening his eyes wide, he suddenly became pale and hisplexion changedpletely. Caier, Caier Long Hao Chen felt as if he received a heavy blow on his chest, and he suddenly tried to force himself to enter a sitting posture. This change of posture caused a significant pain in his body, and he did not manage to change his posture. _Damn it, damn it, I missed our appointment. I was excessively focused on the match and my opponent. I missed our appointment, I missed it_ Long Hao Chen,pletely filled with anxiety, forced himself to get up. He had a troubled expression andpletely lost his previous calm state. In his mind, there was only this blue cane, softly hitting the ground, and apanying her petite figure. _Shes definitely waiting for me and has definitely waited for a long time, for so long. I should, hic_ Long Hao Chen ferociously gave himself a p, making his body spasm with an intense pain. Standing with difficulty, he had to support himself by leaning on the wall, as he headed towards the door. _I have to find her, I have to find her._ At this very moment, his mind was entirely filled with this thought. It was already deep night. As Long Hao Chen left the hotel, unsteadily walking out, he could feel a nip in the air, that violently blew on his face. His internal spiritual energy waspletely dried up so it couldnt protect him at all. By chance, the cultivation of his external spiritual energy made his body robust, so even though a weakening feeling constantly attacked his senses, in his innermost being, a strong determination drove each of the steps he took forward as he walked away from the hotel, advancing towards the ce where they met up everyday. The aftereffects of Sacrifice were really overbearing: Long Hao Chen was currently experiencing intense pain, reaching from head to toe. Almost each step he took caused his body to sweat profusely, almost losing his bnce. There were even several times when he was on the verge of falling down. Fortunately, the hotel where he resided and the ce where they met up were quite close. While stumbling, he slowly advanced. The current Long Hao Chen felt extremely ashamed; yes, thepetition was an important matter, but still, how could he miss his appointment with Caier? She was going to be extremely disappointed! Taking one step after another, Long Hao Chens sight was still fuzzy, as the cold of the deep night gradually attacked his very body. Finally arrived, finally arrived! This extremely short road still took him half an hour to cover. And finally, he could see the ce where he used to meet up everyday with Caier. Only, Caier wasnt there; the location was entirely empty and quiet. _Pong_ , Long Hao finally couldnt keep standing firm, and tumbled down on the ground. He could see countless stars revolving around him. _Of course! Caier has already left The sky was already so dark, so how could she have not left yet?_ Long Hao Chens lips twisted into a bitter grimace. As he fell on the ground, his heart was filled with regrets. If he could do it all over again, he wouldnt have tried so hard in his match against Yang Wenzhao. He didnt know since when it was the case, but he discovered to his astonishment that to him, sending Caier back had already be more important than his training. _I have to go to the hotel to look for her and to apologize. But will she forgive me? She cannot see the road and waited for so long before finally leaving by herself, how painful was this experience Will she still be willing to forgive me?_ _ That wont do, I cannot look for her. Its already sote at night, so she is definitely sleeping after her tiring day, by now. How can I disturb her? _ _She must have been waiting for a long, long time. Since its this way, I will be waiting there for her. I must wait for a longer time than her, if I want to seek her forgiveness._ At this point, Long Hao Chen gasped for breath before slowly standing up. An intense dizzy feeling filled his head; he had never felt so weak before. This feeling was absolutely horrible. He felt like he could lose consciousness at anytime. _No, I cannot faint, I must be waiting for her there, it is the road she takes everyday._ As he thought that, Long Hao Chen used his hands to support himself and slowly got up. After standing up, he tried his best to stay up. He was afraid that if he sat there, he would soon either lose consciousness or fall asleep. Time passed, a minute after another, a second after another, but Long Hao Chen stood there, at the same dizzy state from beginning to end. Every time he couldnt support his body anymore, he would fall down, and temporarily manage to stay awake because of the shock. And then, he would once again crawl down to stand up once again. Caier nkly stood before Long Hao Chens bed; she was at a loss about what to do: _Why is he not here anymore? Where has he gone?_ After inflicting serious damage to Yang Wenzhao, Caier came back to that ce. She was blind, but her five other senses were extremely sharp. As soon as she entered, she discovered that Long Hao Chen wasnt there anymore. Chapter 105 - Saint Daughter of Samsara (II)

Chapter 105: Saint Daughter of Samsara (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Some remnant of his smell was left in the air, and some warmth was left on the mattress; this was the proof that he was previously sleeping there, but it was already sote, where could he have gone? As her silhouette shed, Caier disappeared from the window like blue smoke. Appearing once again in the street, she looked at the changes in the surroundings, looking for traces of him. Her bamboo rod lightly hit the ground as she headed directly to her hotel, full of worry. Not finding him, she searched in every room, including Li Xins and Ye Huas. In every room, she carefully used her perception to detect the changes in the atmosphere and look for the ce where he was. But all these efforts were fruitless; he wasnt there, there werent any trace of him anywhere else than in his room. _Can it be that something happened to him?_ The blue cane in Caiers hand became noisier, as her feet were wrapped in ayer of cold energy. _If something really happened to him, no matter who the culprit is, I will never let them off._ Returning to her residence, she sat cross-legged on her beds couch. But how could Caier possibly calm herself down? She said to herself that this was the headquarters of the Temple Alliance, and that as apetitor of the Demon Hunt Selection, he wasnt likely to be in danger. Even when she raided Yang Wenzhao, didnt the Alliances forces quickly save him? But then, where could he have gone? Even after a total of half an hour, Caier could not calm herself down. _I have to find him._ Going down from her bed, Caier took her blue cane and left the hotel once again. Because of her impatience, in the middle of the night, she had forgotten to wear her veil. The coldness of the night, and the blowing wind awakened Caier. Her mind in disorder because of the panic, she finally managed to calm herself a down little, and started to ponder over the ce where Long Hao Chen could have gone. If it wasnt that he was captured by someone else, where could he have gone? Could it be that Suddenly, she realized something; that he could be at that ce, waiting for her. But it was already sote; was it really possible? No matter what, regardless of whether he could have gone there or not, that ce was still a final possibility. Ordinarily, she and Long Hao Chen took half an hour to cover this road, but as she leaped around, it took her no more than the time of ten breaths to cover the distance. Moving the tip of her nose, Caiersplexion changed. It was his smell! It was his smell! He was actually really in that ce! Caier took quick steps forward with her blue cane, following the tracks of the familiar rxed atmosphere she felt. Long Hao Chen was already having a lot of difficulty maintaining his consciousness, and he was further weakened by the fact he fell continuously to the ground. The current him was even already unable to clearly see the scenery in front of him. Gritting his teeth and bearing the pain, he stood there; his body was like that of a drunk old man that was unceasingly shaking. Du, du, du. Du, du, du. A familiar noise vaguely entered his mind. _Was it her? Or am I just having fantasies?_ Long Hao Chen. Caier anxiously called out to him. Immediately following this call, a long and thin blue bamboo cane faintly touched Long Hao Chens body. Long Hao Chen, who was previously unsteadily staying, immediately fell down upon hearing this call, but the fall made him a little more clear-headed. A ck long skirt, purple hair scattered around, in disarray and draping over her face. A delicate fragrance, containing a sort of coldness, came through to him. Astonished, he was looking at her extremely anxious face. Her skin was a bit pale, her eyes expressionless, but her delicate and beautiful face wasnt in the slightest bit covered. Its her, its her! From what he could remember, it was the first time Long Hao Chen saw Caiers face. Her extremely refined senses and the cold atmosphere she let out werepletely opposite to her beautiful face, as glossy as jade, with jade-like eyebrows. And although her jade-like skin was a bit pale, it was still as sparkling as a fresh and exquisite litchi. And at this moment, her elegant face seemed to have instantly prated the depths of Long Hao Chens mind. You How are you? Sensing that Long Hao Chen had fallen down, Caier became instantly anxious, hastening to crouch down and gently stroked him with her two hands. His clothes were faintly wet, and obviously, his body was intensely shaking, having stayed for so long in this night road, and his breath was extremely unsteady. Cai Er, Cai Er. Im sorry. As he saw Caier, Long Hao Chen became extremely joyous. He still felt dizzy, and couldnt even ponder about the reason why Caier appeared. Still, he couldnt control the joyin his heart. Holding her little soft hand, he said, without being able to control his breath, I, I didnt miss our appointment on purpose will you agree to forgive me..? Held by his hands, Caiers heart was instantly shaken because she could clearly feel that his hand was incredibly cold; there was nothing left of its former warmth. Hurrying to hold back his hand with force, in a little instant, Caier could feel how weak his current state was. And because of the fact he stood here, waiting for her, he was currently on the verge of copse. I forgive you. Caier stooped down, gently leaning toward him to hug him, cing her soft hand on his back and gently passing her spiritual energy to hisbody, helping to dispel the chilliness in hisbodyand weakening the cold air around him that made him feel so bad, so as to avoid that he fell sick. How could she not forgive him? As soon as she discovered him here, she immediately guessed everything he was thinking about. He was extremely feeble, and yet all he thought about was his appointment with her; how could she resent him? More importantly, it wasnt on purpose that he missed their appointment. Caiers spiritual energy was warm, but Long Hao Chen was currently feeling too weak. His eyelids felt heavy, really heavy; right before muttering some words. After a short period, Long Hao Chen was already back to his room. Caier carefully put him down on his bed before sitting on his bed and holding his hand. In this moment, under the effect of Caiers spiritual energy, Long Hao Chens hand had already be a lot warmer, and wasnt as cold anymore. Sorry, I shouldnt have doubted you. Caiers elegant face seemed even more charming, as she gently and cautiously lifted up his hand, gently touching his face and the tip of his nose, intimately stroking his delicate skin. Like that, Caiers pale face gradually started to blush. A dim gold-colored light twinkled, and a dagger calmly appeared in her hand. Her tender fingers appeared like that of a dexterous artist. She moved her dagger, forming the shape of a little character, at the side of the bed, before covering it with his hand. Then, she gently stroked his cheeks, somewhat unwilling to part with him, still blushing. At this moment, she still remembered Long Hao Chens words before falling unconscious. What he said was: Caier, you are really beautiful. Alliances office pce. The Saint Knight Head Han Qian, whose position within the Temple Alliance was only second to the almighty powerhouses of the ninth step, currently wore a cold face and stood in front of the broad table. A loud sound could just be heard, produced from his hands pping the table. Ying Suifeng, today, if you dont have a good exnation, dont me my Knight Alliance for bing hostile. Han Qian was full of rage. as he made this deration. Why was he angry? It wasnt only him actually; currently, all the high ranked knights stationed in the Temple Alliance were furious, and even those almighty powerhouses of the ninth step who were normally in seclusion were rmed as well. This year, the Knight Temple was the favorite for bing number one of thepetition, because of their Retribution Knight Yang Wenzhao who even possessed a spiritual stove. However, he had just been seriously wounded by someone. And without a doubt, the culprit was from the Assassin Temple. The proof was clear, besides the signature skills from the Assassin Temple that they used, there was also their Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove, a noticeable sign of the fact they belonged to the Assassin Temple. It was bright morning when Han Qian immediately made the trip to aggressivelyin to them. The representatives of the Six Great Temples were all, without exception, stationed at the Alliances office pce. Every ten years, amittee would be elected to represent the Great Temples, in order to unify the affairs of all Temples. Among their core were 36mainmittee members, six for each of the temples. As a result, even though the Knight Temple was nominally the leader of these Six Great Temples, they didnt have an overwhelming status within the Temples either. Han Qian was one of the sixmainmittee members for the Knight Temple, atop of being a Saint Knight, leader of the 36 Saint Knights of the Knight Temple and in charge of handling daily affairs in regard to the Knight Temple, as a vice hall master. His status was extremely honorable, only below the three Divine Knights in this regard. And with his status of elder, even among the three Divine Knights, only one really had more power than him. In front of Han Qian, sitting on the other side of the table was a slim elder. He appeared to be d in average ck clothes, had gray-colored short hair and a quite ordinary appearance. The only thing that made him look different from ordinary people was his distinctive and terrifying eyes. This pair of eyes seemedpletely dead, and didnt have the slightest expression. If he was lying on the ground, there would definitely be people who would be thinking of him as dead. As one of the highest ranked seniors of the Knight Temple, Han Qians eyes looked different from ordinary peoples as well. And as the Heroic Assassin Parlor, his counterpart was in control of the 36 Heroic Assassins and was also a vice hall master, Ying Suifeng. At the same time, he was in charge of handling the daily affairs of the Assassin Temple, as a supervisor. The Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple were different in one regard. On many asions, the former had given a big headache to the 72 demon gods, forcing them to be constantly taken over, seeded by others of their kinsmen. In the span of 6000 years, 91 demon gods had been killed by the Assassin Temples manpower. This was so glorious an era for them that none of the five other Great Temples could everpare to them in this regard. Even within the Alliance, no one knew how many hidden trump cards the Assassin Temple had, except from the Assassin Temples mainmittee members and their powerhouses of the ninth step. Within the Six Great Temples, the Assassin Temple was the existence anyone would fear the most to mess with. Ying Suifeng wasnt shaken by Han Qians furious mood in the slightest, and simply said, For such a big affair, I will naturally give youpensation. Hearing his answer, Han Qian slightly calmed down, pulling a chair, and crushing his buttocks on it. In a rage, he stared at Ying Suifeng. Chapter 106 - Saint Daughter of Samsara (III) Chapter 106: Saint Daughter of Samsara (III) The Six Great Temples were closely linked to each other. Just like how the Mage Temple and the Warrior Temple have an extremely close rtion between them, the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temples rtionship is among the best. An Assassin is after all the best partner possible for a Knight. The knight is the one who can defend the assassin the best and the assassin is the one who can provide the best offensive power to support him. A stable holy light, a wandering dim shadow,plementing each other while countering each other. Because of the incident, the higher-ups of the Knight Temple were furious, but they didnt immediately send punitive forces against them, and instead, they announced the facts of the night before to the Assassin Temple, letting them investigate thoroughly. And on this day, on the early morning, Han Qian was facing Ying Suifeng. Ying Suifeng who had kept a serene face all along was suddenly shocked, calmly replying, After examining the events ofst night, I have a rough idea of the sequence of events. It was certainly a member of our Assassin Temple that intervened. For this reason, I apologize to the Knight Temple on behalf of our Assassin Temple. As he spoke, he calmly straightened himself, slightly stooping and performing a salute towards Han Qian. Hearing that, Han Qian immediately red at him. He had dealt with military matters throughout all his life, and on numerous times, he had risked his life when fighting against the army forces of the demon race. Suifeng, was it really someone from your Assassin Temple who did this? This time, Han Qian became a lot colder, the way he addressed him changed as well, and his face became an extremely ugly sight to look at. His rtion with Suifeng was pretty good; sixty years ago, they were fighting alongside each other asrades-in-arms, belonging to the same Demon Hunt Squad. And it was thirty years ago that their status started to rise within their respective temples. They had started to age, and came to the decision of disbanding their Demon Hunt Squad, to start their careers as people working in the affairs of their respective Temples. Upon hearing Ying Suifengs acknowledgement, how could he not feel anxious? This kind of act akin to internal struggle could be seen as an act of jealousy from one of the Temples. This kind of act could obviously ariseints or riots within the Alliance, and obviously affect its prestige and harmony. Ying Suifeng let out a sigh and said, Since we are the culprits, why would I not recognize this act? Please calm down, and listen calmly to me. Actually, this matter has been caused by you, Knight Temple. Let me ask you, the one Yang Wenzhao injured during yesterdays match was a knightpetitor right? And Yang Wenzhao caused him to be heavily wounded. Listening to him, Han Qian suddenly realized something, and hisplexion changedpletely, Are you saying that Long Hao Chen hired an assassin from your Assassin Temple? If it was the truth, then things would be even worse! Without a doubt, to the Knight Temple, Yang Wenzhao was among the most outstanding youths of their generation. But in Han Qians heart, Long Hao Chen had more value. Although Long Hao Chen lost yesterday, he disyed an incredible talent, greatly shocking, once again, this Saint Knight Head. He discovered even more facets of this child; it was simply a genius destroyer! His appearance was something that could simply cause all the other geniuses to be ashamed of their talents. Besides, his grandson Han Yu was arranged to apany Long Hao Chen as his retainer knight. If Long Hao Chen had really hired an assassin to deal with Yang Wenzhao, then even he wouldnt be able to defend Long Hao Chen. Such a demonic character could only be punished severely. By just thinking about that, Han Qian turned pale with fright. This time, it was Ying Suifengs turn to frown, What kind of person is this Long Hao Chen? How could he cause such concern? Brother Han, you seem to treat him favorably as well, right? Han Qian snorted once, replying impatiently, Please dont care about this first, and hurry up to tell me: after all, was it Long Hao Chen who hired him? Long Hao Chen could be called the Knight Temples secret weapon; especially since hes so young, his information was already ssified as a major secret. His rtion with Ying Suifeng was good, but for the sake of the Knight Temples status among the six Great Temples, he couldnt lightly reveal this information. Ying Suifeng shook his head, and replied, Of course its not the case, How could a little guy who had already lost consciousness hire an assassin? Actually, things are like this: this Long Hao Chen has a good rtionship with a member of our Temple, and the information on how he was wounded came to our Temple. Right after this member of our Temple learned this information, she was in a state of total wrath and acted personally, without notice, to raid this Yang Wenzhao. Only, she was quite lenient and didnt kill him for real. Upon hearing that Long Hao Chen didnt hire this assassin, Han Qian immediately rxed, but was exasperated by his light tone. Pissed off, he said, You are speaking so lightly. Do you know who the hell Yang Wenzhao is? Hes old Yangs grandson. Without mentioning his importance to our Knight Temple, considering his status, who will you send to exin this to old Yang? Ying Suifeng let out a light sigh and said, His identity is already something we are looking into. Only, now that this affair has already taken ce, what we must do right now is to settle it. After all, his spiritual stove hasnt been damaged, although he has been lightly injured. With your Knight Temples healing capabilities, he should be able to recover rapidly, and there shouldnt be rpses. If the injuries are really serious, we are willing to request a priest at the rank of red-d sect master or above, from the Priest Temple to treat him. This should partlypensate your Knight Temple; how about it? Han Qian was quite smart, from Ying Suifengs words he deduced a few facts, and hisplexion changed, So you are saying that you dont n to hand over this assassin to us, right? And you dont even n to punish her? Ying Suifeng nodded in silence, Old Han, Im sorry. Im really sorry about that. Han Qian stood up,pletely furious, before hitting the desk once again, Ying Suifeng, so this is the exnation you are giving me? Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be? Ying Suifeng sighed once again, replying, I know, but theres nothing I can do about it. Not speaking about me, even our most heroic seniors cannot deal with her. Han Qian coldly snorted, He was greatly wounded, and dont forget who the one responsible is. If we leave this matter to be handled by the Alliance, theres no way it stays unpunished. I advise you to let it be treated in private between our two Temples. Ying Suifengs eyes shed with a particr sparkle, and he thought to himself, _This little girl is really carefree. It looks like the Knight Temple isnt going to let this go easily. Furthermore, if it was her who was heavily wounded like that, I would have had the same reaction. ARGH!_ Brother Han, please dont get angry like that. I know this matter is making things difficult for you. I will go find this heroic senior and sincerely apologize to him. We wish to settle this matter behind the scenes. I have a single condition. Behind the scenes? Han Qian was startled. Ying Suifeng nodded, and said, I believe you know what I mean by behind the scenes; we cannot afford to treat this person lightly. I only want Brother Han to pledge me something; after we settle this matter behind the scenes, I want you to inform your seniors divine knights that everyone shall keep their mouthpletely shut! To preserve our Temples thousand years of rtions, we absolutely dont want this matter to be lightly spread. Han Qian stared at him, from Ying Suifengs serious tone, it looked like the fact that this matter had to be handled from behind the scenes was extremely important to the Assassin Temple. Okay, I give you my promise. Speak, now. Although he didnt formally pledge to him, his promise was as valid as an oath. Within the Six Great Temples, knights were the most strict in regard to discipline; if one happened to break his promises, no matter whom he promises to, he would have no way to stand on his honor. Ying Suifeng silently shook his head, and continued to speak, From whichever side of the Six Great Temples when fostering a talent, the most important factor to determine his potential of future development is the innate internal spiritual energy. In every Temple, people with different innate talent are treated differently. For instance, in your Knight Temple, an innate internal spiritual energy above the 70th level is known as a physique of angel, and above the 80th level it is known as a physique blessed by gods, right? Han Qian seemed to have vaguely understood something, and took a deep breath, From what you are implying, this fellow who wounded Yang Wenzhao has an innate internal spiritual energy above 70, and is rather young, right? A young age was something that couldnt be determined arbitrarily; from Yang Wenzhaos description of his opponent, she shouldnt have reached the sixth step yet. Ying Suifeng revealed a bitter smile, If it was only that much, for the sake of the rtionship between our two Great Temples, we would nevertheless have given her some punishment. But the fact is that over the past 3000 years of our Assassin Temples history, a sole and unique person exceeded the 90th level of internal spiritual energy, obtaining a physique of a Scion of Samsara. It is equivalent to the physique of Scion of Light of your Knight Temple. The importance of this girl to our Assassin Temple is exceeding the importance your Knight Temple gives to a Divine Knight. You shouldnt forget that 3000 years ago, our Assassin Temple was almighty; that Scion of Samsara relied on his formidable strength and innate talent and managed to get rid of seven of the demon gods. At the very end, he even managed to deal with the first demon god, and had been inflicting serious damages to the demon race for thirty years. And yet, that Scion of Samsara only had his innate internal spiritual energy at the 91st level. And back to our era, shes the one we found to seed that killing machine of a Scion of Samsara. Her innate internal spiritual energy is even greaterpared to his former 91st level; it was originally at the 93rd level, but after she inherited the spiritual stove of the previous Scion of Samsara, it reached the 100th level! ording to legends, this level is even given another title: the one known as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, an existence that will in the future be able to challenge the first demon god! If wepare her to the Yang Wenzhao from your noble temple, whos the unimportant one and whos the important one? Han Qians eyes were already wide opened, andpletely shocked, he answered, Innate internal spiritual energy, 100. Is is this for real? This This Ying Suifeng let a bitterugh, Do you think I would fool you in this kind of matter? This is the biggest secret of our Assassin Temple. To all our almighty temples, a saint girl of this kind is something that would cause anyone to cry out in dread and fall down out of fear. Furthermore, she started her training at the age of five years old, for a total of 9 years by now. Her formidable innate talents are undoubtedly already manifesting. And she did not only manage to grasp control of the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stoves, she also fused with the main stove this Scion of Samsara used to fight with, the first ranked spiritual stove from our Assassin Temple, the Six Paths of Samsara. You ought to know the might of the Six Paths of Samsara. Therefore, I cannot lightly hand her over to you, because actually. Han Qian gave him a somewhat sluggish look, and after a long while, he gently revealed a forced smile, I understand Chapter 107 - Evolve, Spiritual Stove! (I)

Chapter 107: Evolve, Spiritual Stove! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales News of people from the Assassin Temple injuring a talented youth from the Knight Temple during the Demon Hunt Selection could not possibly be covered up. In fact, the nature of the act was so extremely vile that it would affect the very roots of the Six Great Temples. However, against all expectations, the Knight Temple stayed silent on this matter. They didnt file aint to the Temple Alliance and the Assassin Temple also stayed low key, both parties acting as if nothing happened. When themittee members from the other Great Temples asked them about this, the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple gave exactly the same answer, saying that it was a misunderstanding. These two Great Temples came to a mutual understanding, so naturally, the other Temples didnt dig deeper into the matter. After all, there wasnt any loss, so as long as everything was settled, they wouldnt insist any longer. The qualifiers of the Demon Hunt Selection of this year were about toe to an end; the overwhelming majority of the matches were already over, and most of the results were already out. Long Hao Chen lost and Yang Wenzhao ended up seriously wounded, so they both lost the possibility of continuing topete in these preliminaries. Because of Long Hao Chens especially outstanding performances in his match against Yang Wenzhao, he was ranked sixth for the preliminaries of thepetition. After entering the top 5, Yang Wenzhao was unable to keeppeting and had to drop out, forced to end up fifth. Exerting force to stretch his hand, Long Hao Chen awoke from dreand. Some of the pain fromst night was remaining, but he felt a lot better as he woke up. Rubbing his eyes, Long Hao Chen got into a sitting position. It was a long time since thest time he slept so deeply. Caier. As soon as he recovered his consciousness, the first thing that came into his mind was that beautiful face. Despite his very feeble mental state on the previous night, the little moment he had to watch her face was deeply engraved in his memory. Was I dreamingst night? Long Hao Chen wasnt sure that what happenedst night was for real, especially since he felt so weak at that moment. Eh? As something brought up his attention on the side of the bed, he used his finger to touch it carefully; there seemed to be some handwriting here. Hurriedly straightening his posture, he looked at this handwriting. Indeed, some little words where engraved on the side of the bed. Recover well, and do not bother about me. When the next stage of thepetition resumes for you, we will meet again. Caier. _It wasnt a dream, haha, it wasnt a dream._ Long Hao Chen was immediately in high spirits after discovering this message. He clearly remembered thatst night, Caier had told him that she didnt me him. We will only see each other during thepetition? What does this mean? Last night,st night, it seemed that Caier used her spiritual energy to help me recover. Can it be that shes also from one of the Six Great Temples? But shes blind! To which Temple could she belong? He unceasingly asked this question to himself but how could he possibly find the answer? A short whileter, Ye Hua and Li Xin came to visit him. As brother and sister who lost their matches, they could rest for the five iing days, until the start of the realpetition. Ye Hua hade to inspect his situation, especially his meridians and his internal organs, but he discovered that [Sacrifice] didnt leave any permanent injuries to his body. This was a source of great rejoicing. You are really an idiot. After his inspection, Ye Hua immediately cursed in rage, some tears starting to appear on his face. Beside him, Li Xin stuck out her tongue, but didnt dare say anything. Long Hao Chen lowered his head and said, Teacher, I only wished to test my capabilities through actualbat, and to arouse my potential this way. Using the skill [Sacrifice] is just something I did on a whim. Dont be angry, I wont be so impetuous again in the future. Ye Hua was furious, Bullshit. Do you think I am angry because you have challenged Yang Wenzhao? You are wrong. It is because of your foolishness. Let me ask you, whos the stronger between you and Yang Wenzhao? Long Hao Chen started and gave him a puzzled look, Its naturally him. Ye Hua coldly snorted, So you know that hes the powerful one, right? Then why did you still choose to sh with him head-on? Were these fighting tactics I taught you these twost years some dog food? It was delightful to sh with him head-on right? But have you thought about what would have happened if this was a fight against the demon race? What if your opponents were demons? And what if you hadrades by your side, waiting for your assistance? Would you have fought the same way? These series of questions left Long Hao Chen speechless. Ye Hua coldly continued, How many fighting abilities have I taught you? Thats right, an all-out battle will arouse your potential more efficiently, especially against an opponent that is more powerful than you. But if you really want to increase your fighting experience, then you cannot consider this as a match, but a life-and-death battle. And how do battles to the death take ce? Dont tell me Ive never taught you this before? Long Hao Chen further lowered his head, Rely on your skills and techniques to cope with your opponent, and do the utmost to preserve yourself. Ya Hue strongly clenched his fist. Luckily, you still remember. Tell me now, are you a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight in the end? Long Hao Chen fell silent. He didnt know how to reply to this question of Ye Huas. Ye Hua said indifferently, In terms of genius, even if ten of me cannot match you, in terms of experiences, neither can ten of you match me. Let me help you to answer this question. When you need to attack, just be a Retribution Knight, and when you need to protect, be a Guardian Knight. But you have to be careful when you are using your abilities as Retribution Knight; you should never forget your second status. Your innate talent is so high that you can bear both roles, but since thats the case, you should justbine them to fully exploit your capabilities. Dont let me see such silly acts again, or else, you dont deserve to be the disciple of this Ye Hua. Yes. Long Hao Chen hurried to respectfully reply. Ye Hua was scolding him, but more importantly, he was full of concerns. He knew that his teacher was afraid that he would take the wrong path! After washing his face, Long Hao Chen started to cultivate. Even if this morning, his body already felt a lot better, he still had to let his external spiritual energy and the wounds on his body recover. However, as before, there wasnt a drop left of his internal spiritual energy; only, the Saint Spiritual Stove seemed to have recovered its original radiance. There were already not many left of the cultivation pills Lin Xin gave him. This time, Long Hao Chen didnt take one, and simply sat cross-legged, calmly, entering a meditative state, paying careful attention to the fluctuation in his Saint Spiritual Stove. Soft, deep, vast. After his consciousness entered his Saint Spiritual Stove, he immediately felt these three sensations. Previously, he could not feel any spiritual energy circting in his Saint Spiritual Stove, but now, he could see drops of a gold-colored liquid. These bright droplets were small, but were extremely striking, in the middle of this milky-white Saint Spiritual Stove. These golden droplets had the size of grains of rice, but what surprised Long Hao Chen indescribably was that these golden droplets were actually in apletely liquid state. Liquid spiritual energy? _Could it be that after using the skill [Sacrifice], I identally reached the state of having my spiritual energy liquefy?_ Unconsciously, Long Hao Chen started to cultivate ordingly to his previous training methods. Because there was no internal spiritual energy left in his body, his speed to feel the fluctuations of the external light essence was a lot slower. But it shouldnt be forgotten that he had his Scion of Light physique, so his light element affinity was far beyondparison to ordinary peoples. The gentle external light essence started to enter Long Hao Chens body, as he immediately noticed that he didnt need to urge them at all. This light essence seemed as though it had found a sort of source, as it quietly headed towards the Saint Spiritual Stove before directly merging with it. The Saint Spiritual Stoves reaction was serene, simply emitting a bright shine from its milky-white body. Inspecting the interior of his spiritual stove once again, as expected, Long Hao Chen discovered that the light essence, which had been absorbed and converted into a drop of gold-colored liquid, had turned into a part of the spiritual stove. Because the light essence absorbed from the air was extremely thin, it could hardlypare with a true drop of liquified spiritual energy, and as a result, this rice grain-sized drop of liquified spiritual energy didnt show any reaction at all. However, this didnt affect Long Hao Chens excitement at all. Without the slightest hesitation, now that he had really managed to refine liquid spiritual energy, the next question was how he was going to strengthen it, as well as how he was going to make ite out from his Saint Spiritual Stove. Thinking up to this point, Long Hao Chen took out a Spiritual Gathering Pill, used for cultivation; it was the name he gave it personally. As soon as he took the Spiritual Gathering Pill, Long Hao Chens blood was aroused, and suddenly, his bodys reaction to the external light essence in the air was greatly increased. The Spiritual Gathering Pill was a pill of the Fourth Tier, and as such, one needed to have reached the fourth step to take it. Although Long Hao Chen had lost his internal spiritual energy, his body was still that of a Grand Knight of the fourth step. His meridians absorbed the energy of this pill without any rejection. Naturally, after taking the Spiritual Gathering Pill, his absorption speed of the external light essence was greatly elerated. This light essence in the air was absorbed from all directions, directly passing through his pores and entering his body to be immediately absorbed by his Saint Spiritual Stove. The current Saint Spiritual Stove was like a bottomless abyss. Regardless of how much light essence Long Hao Chen absorbed, it swallowed everything. The only change that appeared was that the golden color emitted by the Saint Spiritual Stoves body started to gradually strengthen. The liquid spiritual energy also started to show signs of amplification. Just like that, Long Hao Chen waspletely immersed in his moment of cultivation. This cultivation moment was dull and uninteresting, but it brought him an intense sense of satisfaction to be able to stack these droplets one after another. This aspect was somethingmon to all vocations. In a sh, three days had already passed. During these three days, aside from eating, Long Hao Chen waspletely immersed in his cultivation state. He told everything about his present cultivation to Ye Hua, who seemed to not understandpletely in what kind of state he was. Then, he silently waited for Ye Huas instructions. To Ye Hua, what happened was certainly a good thing, and although he didnt know what kind of subtle mysteries surrounded the Saint Spiritual Stove, Ye Hua wished to see Long Hao Chen in this kind of state. Yes! In addition, how could the growth of the Scion of Light be controlled by others? Chapter 108 - Evolve, Saint Spiritual Stove! (II)

Chapter 108: Evolve, Saint Spiritual Stove! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, Ye Hua had a lot of experience in cultivation methods, so even with his very weak innate talent, he had still managed to break through to the step of Earth Knight, and had researched countless cultivation methods. As a result, he carefully pondered over the matter, before telling him that it was the Saint Spiritual Stove that helped him produce spiritual energy. Nurtured spiritual energy. Long Hao Chens cultivation obviously hadnt reached the fifth step, so in these circumstances, making liquid spiritual energy appear was supposed to be impossible. Even if these drops of liquid spiritual energy had appeared by pure coincidence, Ye Hua waspletely sure that if it was anyone other than Long Hao Chen, even if he could manage to use [Sacrifice] at his level, he would never be able to do the same. The only exnation to this phenomenon was the effect of the Saint Spiritual Stove. Inside of the Saint Spiritual Stove, a special space was produced, helping Long Hao Chen topress his spiritual energy, liquefying it. When Long Hao Chen relied on [Sacrifice], it used up his own spiritual energy while igniting his blood. Spiritual Stoves were the most mysterious objects in heaven and earth, protecting their users quite well. The Saint Spiritual Stove is very likely to be what prevented thest drop of Long Hao Chens internal spiritual energy from being consumed, before provoking this internal phenomenon of internalpression. Long Hao Chen already had theprehension of the liquid spiritual energy in itself, the greatest characteristic of the threshold of the fifth step. It was also through the means of his cultivation, the method that used the skill [Storing Power], that he managed to gradually find out thepression method. Only, he was unable to directlyunch this process ofpression. Relying on the skill [Storing Power] only helped him to find his senses. But now, the situation was different. With the existence of the Saint Spiritual Stove, his problem ofpression was already solved, as it produced genuine liquid spiritual energy. As long as he could find a way to extract this liquid spiritual energy from the Saint Spiritual Stove and train his spiritual energy above the 2000th level, the daunting bottleneck of the fifth step would be no problem to him. With this news, Ye Hua was naturally delighted as well. He urged Long Hao Chen repeatedly to go to his room to firmly cultivate; after all, even dying the Demon Hunt Competition wasnt a big deal. He was still young, so in the future, he would have the opportunity to participate in this greatpetition again. Inparison to thispetition, to grasp the opportunity to break through the stage of Earth Knight was far more important. The Saint Spiritual Stove was far from being huge: its body was approximately like that of a little cup worth three coins. The quantity of spiritual energy such a small Spiritual Stove could contain was something anyone could easily imagine. After three days of bitter practice, Long Hao Chen hadpletely used up his stock of Spiritual Gathering Pills, and the Saint Spiritual Stove was almost at its peak condition. Its interior was filled with a thick liquid spiritual energy. These three days of cultivation were actually quite painful. Because no internal spiritual energy was left in his body, Long Hao Chen had to absorb external light essence; this was quite a slow process. If not for the aid provided by the Spiritual Gathering Pills, perhaps even within 10 days or half a month, he wouldnt have filled the Saint Spiritual Stove. In that case, he would really have ended up unable to participate in thepetition. What Long Hao Chen didnt know was that originally, when Long Xing Yu gave him this Saint Spiritual Stove, he already knew that it would have other uses besides justbat. Only, he didnt tell this to his son. Long Xing Yu was a Divine Knight, and as such, he had experienced the cultivation process from the first to the ninth step. As a result, he understood pretty well how important the cultivation process was. For his training, he wanted Long Hao Chen to break through the fifth step at the earliest time possible, but didnt want to help him too much, making him be a powerhouse with an exaggerated ease. If he really did so, even if Long Hao Chen was a Scion of Light, he would have no way to break through the threshold of the ninth step in his whole life! Thus, he chose to let Long Hao Chen do things at his own pace, slowly and continuously strengthening himself, to experience by himself the difficulties of the cultivation process. Long Xing Yu had absolute confidence in Long Hao Chen. If a Scion of Light didnt have enough perception, who would? This particr ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove was called nurturance. It wasnt only a Spiritual Stove that helped in battles, but it was also also a training assisting tool. This was one of the greatest secrets of the Knight Temple. Because the Saint Spiritual Stove was only really useful to Knights and Warriors inbat, the other vocations didnt have much interest in this Spiritual Stove. And a Warriors self-recovery ability was far beyondparison with Guardian Knights, so at this point, this Saint Spiritual Stove could be pretty much considered a spiritual stove exclusive to knights. Saint Spiritual Stoves were quite rare, so when the other Great Temples found a Saint Spiritual Stove, they would choose to exchange it with the Knight Temple. Only the Knight Temple, after countless trials, had some suppositions. It was that as long as the first spiritual stove of a human was the Saint Spiritual Stove, and he got it below the fourth step of cultivation, this special effect of nurturance of the Saint Spiritual Stove would be stimted. This special effect called nurturance required the user of the Saint Spiritual Stove to discover it by himself and ordinarily, its manifestation wouldnt be obvious to notice. It only gave an extremely weak boost to cultivation and nothing more. However, in critical moments, the Saint Spiritual Stoves nurturance would have immense effects. For instance, it would have the greatest effect when Long Hao Chen woulde to the liquefaction of his spiritual energy, as well as when the time woulde for his spiritual orifices to condense when breaking through the step of Radiant Knight. With the assistance of the Saint Spiritual Stove, it could be said that he was bound to break through. Everyone does some self-study, and Temples arent exceptions. If the other temples discovered the assistance effect provided by the Saint Spiritual Stove to the process of cultivation, there would probably be no one willing to sell this kind of stove to the Knight Temple. As a result, this mystery was kept secret all along. At least up until now, no one from the other Temples had discovered it. Actually, even if Long Hao Chen hadnt used the skill [Sacrifice], he would still have quickly figured out this use of the Saint Spiritual Stove. Because as long as hepleted the first evolution of his Saint Spiritual Stove, the effect of nurturance would automatically help him break through the fifth step. Actually, Long Hao Chen previously saw the fifth step as an opportunity to make his Saint Spiritual Stove evolve. _So its finally full? Teacher said that the essence should start to spill over at this moment, so since it seems to be finally full, it should start spilling over to some extent._ Regardless of the calm attitude Long Hao Chen ordinarily, when breaking through the fifth step, he couldnt help but feel nervous, deep inside. His cultivation was ongoing, and as it was going on, the liquid state of his spiritual energy started to be richer and richer. Drop after drop was being umted, visibly spilling over. Finally, the Saint Spiritual Stove stopped umting more liquid spiritual energy, and a drop of gold-colored liquid after another started to flow down from the edge of the Saint Spiritual Stove. _BangC_ At this very moment, Long Hao Chen felt his body shaking as it started to be emit a dense holy aura. A golden ring of light rose at the top of his head, vaguely being condensed to form a lump of golden light essence. This was the sign of an advanced Ascending Spiritual Cloud. Only when breaking through a high step would this Ascending Spiritual Cloud appear. The droplets of liquid spiritual energy were few, but they illuminated all the meridians in Long Hao Chens body. A familiar holy light was rapidly spreading through his meridians, quickly spreading to every corner of his body. Compared to the previous thin gold color of the internal spiritual energy, this color was a lot deeper, its splendor was already approaching that of the bright gold color. Even though, up till now, only a single drop of liquid spiritual energy had spilled on Long Hao Chens body, the light essence was being absorbed at a phenomenal speed. Meanwhile, the Saint Spiritual Stove was emitting an intense and bright light. What could clearly be seen was that on Long Hao Chens chest, a rich brilliant ring had formed, spreading all around. enveloping his whole body in it. The Saint Spiritual Stove slowly rotated around his chest, causing the drops of liquid spiritual energy, one after another, to spill out. Having taken a golden color after weing all this liquid internal spiritual energy inside, it finally came back to its former milky-white color. After these trivial struggles, mystical patterns had started to appear on the surface of the Saint Spiritual Stove. It evolved, the Saint Spiritual Stove evolved! Long Hao Chen immediately discovered something. It wasnt only the Saint Spiritual Stove that evolved, but he could also clearly see that a soft gold-colored liquid was revolving around this Saint Spiritual Stove. As surprising as it could seem, it was liquid spiritual energy. In the past, when he used [Storing Power] for his cultivation training, liquid spiritual energy had also appeared, but at that time, as long as he let [Storing Power] fade, this spiritual energy would immediately regain its original state. But now, things were different. In his body, around the Saint Spiritual Stove, what appeared was genuine liquid spiritual energy. Despite the fact that there were only something like a total of a hundred of these drops of liquid spiritual energy, with so many drops, wouldnt he be back to his peak condition soon? 2000. My spiritual energy has definitely already broken through the 2000th level! The fifth step! I am now an Earth Knight! A dim-witted smile appeared on Long Hao Chens face. How could he not be excited? He reached the fifth step at 14 years old! This was somethingpletely inconceivable! What he needed now was to recoverpletely his spiritual energy. Recovering the 2000 units of liquid spiritual energy will make him be at a totally different level. Yang Wenzhao, the next time we meet, I will really have the strength to challenge you. On the following days, Long Hao Chen was deeply immersed in his cultivation, transforming like a sort of chrysalis. These short few days were enough to make astonishing changes take ce within him. Alliances government pce. Just like Holy City, the Alliances government pce was a building that belonged to the Six Great Temples, the core location for making important decisions. The Demon Hunt Selection was of the utmost importance for the Temple Alliance. Three dayster, the qualifiers would end. The sixty most outstanding youths were about topete together. It signified that the Temple Alliance would have ten new Demon Hunt Squads, pouring fresh blood into the Demon Hunt Squads. Chapter 109 - Evolve, Saint Spiritual Stove! (III)

Chapter 109: Evolve, Saint Spiritual Stove! (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Today was the day of drawing lots for the final stage of thepetition. The 60petitors would be divided into six groups through lots, and a round-robin tournament was going to take ce within these six groups. In other words, within each group, eachpetitor will undergo nine matches. This way, not only would the possibility of winning by chance decrease, but it would also enable these youths to further increase theirbat experience. Then, the best two of each group and four of the six people who ended up third, the ones with the better performances, would enter the top 16, and would participate in a knock-outpetition. This final stage was going to be even longer, but one had to firmly remember that, unlike the preliminaries where there were almost no rewards, during the final stage, there were three spiritual stoves as rewards! To anyone, regardless of his vocation, the meaning of a spiritual stove was great! During the qualifiers, because matches took ce among members of the same temple, the matches would be rather peaceful, but during this final stage, thepetitors would try to get rid of their opponent by all means. To fight over these three spiritual stoves, they wouldnt show the slightest bit of restriction. The Alliances office pce had a dozen of staff members checking each and everypetitors identities. During the final stage of thepetition, thepetitors teachers were not authorized to look after them anymore. The Demon Hunt Squads were a secret with a very high status within the Alliance. As such, they were kept strictly confidential, even if it was involving new recruits. The report time onlysted half an hour, and if it was missed, the opportunity to participate in the finals was lost. The Alliance was extremely strict in regard to time, because if a powerhouse didnt even have the notion of punctuality, he would be quite likely to make big blunders in his future. Haha, we are going to participate the final stage. Im really full of expectations! A candidugh erupted loudly. Two people were headed to the office pce, a male and a female. The female was wearing a red armor, and was quite tall. Her lovable body waspletely covered by her armor, making her look extremely valiant and formidable. Her red hair was loosened at the back of her head and she didnt wear a helmet. Her face was a quite moving scene to behold: her gracious appearance was quite impressive, and made the degree of cultivation of her internal spiritual energy seeminglye out. But the youth beside her stuck out even more. Compared to this female, the youth looked slightly shorter, with ck hair draping over the back of his head. His limpid golden eyes were faintly shaped like a revolving halo. His handsome and refined appearance was even more impressive than the girl by his side. His pupils looked gentle and ordinary, and from beginning to end, his face was brimming with a faint smile. No matter how one looked at him, they would only see a harmless little cute boy. Once they arrived at the door of the office pce, these two youths immediately met the staff. In order not to waste the fighting strength of the Six Great Temples, these external officers in service were ordinary people that were hired and didnt belong to any of the six great vocations. Did you twoe to participate in the final stage? Show me the number te you have been given at the beginning of thepetition. This young staff had a respectful attitude toward them. It was because he knew that if they could enter the final stage of the Demon Hunt Selection, within the youngest generation of youths of the Alliance, they would have an excellent future. This boy and this girls number tes were quickly examined and quickly, the staff people had sessfully registered them. Knight Temple, Long Hao Chen, Li Xin. Pleasee with me, both of you. This boy and this girl were precisely Long Hao Chen and Li Xin, brother and sister who came together. Suddenly, at this very moment, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded from their back, Wait! Wait! Wait for me! With a friendly voice, a clumsy-looking man rushed to their side. Long Hao Chen and Li Xin turned around, suddenly seeing a familiar handsome face. Deep green hair was draped over his shoulder and swayed past it. With a single movement, he would definitely make people mistake his gender. Wearing a white mage gown, he still had the same outstanding appearance, and looked even more overjoyed than Long Hao Chen. Lin Xin? Long Hao Chen gave him an astonished look. Lin Xinughed and said, Apparently, my choice to bet on you was the right one! Your luck is really correct, I didnt expect both of you to really manage to get past the preliminaries. Wah, Sis Li Xin, you are even more beautiful than before, this light armor really does give you a vigorous appearance. Hey, if you seize a ce in the top three, how about choosing me? Ill be supplying you pills. Li Xin fell inughter, and answered, Do you really believe it is possible for me to seize a ce in the top three? Hurry up to report your presence, and lets enter together. Towards Lin Xin, Long Hao Chen immediately had a good impression as soon as he saw him. If not for his encounter with him, he wouldnt have found the orb that seemed so important to Hao Yue. In addition, the pills that Lin Xin gave him were really outstanding, for what they cost him. Without the bottle of Spiritual Gathering Pills, Long Hao Chen couldnt have broken through the fifth step so quickly. Upon hearing Li Xins words, Lin Xin hurried to nod in approval, and took out his number te before handing it to the staff member. These staff members clearly be astonished upon discovering his te number, giving him an even more respectful look than the one they gave to Long Hao Chen and Li Xin. Mage Temple, Lin Xin. You three, pleasee with me. The three youths entered with the staff members, and Long Hao Chen said with a pleased expression, Brother Lin is indeed powerful, your qualifiers must have gone without a hitch havent they? Lin Xin proudly answered, It was okay. Luckily, I ended up as the firstpetitor in the ranking of these qualifiers. First of the qualifiers? Long Hao Chen and Li Xin looked at each other in dismay,pletely astonished. They had experienced the qualifiers, so they naturally knew how intense they were. The number of peoplepeting within the Mage Temple werent as numerous as in the Knight Temple, but the viciousness of theirpetition wasnt a joke. Lin Xin unexpectedly obtained the first ce of these qualifiers. How strong could he be? At least, he was also at the fifth step. It looked like Teachers guess wasnt wrong. What an amazing person! Long Hao Chen gave him a bewildered look, and said, unconvinced, Since Brother Lin is so strong, Im afraid that in the finals, you will be more likely than me to enter the top three. Lin Xin shook his head, replying, Not sure, not sure. The final stage is different from the qualifiers; actually, luck will be quite important. Hearing Long Hao Chens words, he gave a reply that wasntpletely foolish. If the final stage was like the qualifiers, and he could end up easily entering the top three, wouldnt he be able to choose the most powerful partner avable for his squad? Choosing a partner by himself was of course the most preferable choice possible. As they were discussing, they had already arrived inside the Alliances office pce. Before a wide arched door, serving staff were standing, making a weing motion. Once the door was opened, they saw that there were two warriors included inside, in a wide hall. This hall was circr-shaped, a 1.65 meter high terrace stood above, with countless chairs arranged circrly. It seemed that roughly 500 people could be amodated at the same time. An enormous crystal-clear chandelier hung down from the roof, illuminating the whole hall. Lin Xin said in a low voice, This is the little official business hall of the Alliances office pce. Today, it should be here that well draw lots. Li Xin gave him an unconvinced look, and spoke back, Are you familiar with this ce? Lin Xin chuckled, I havee a few times in the past. Long Hao Chen and Li Xin exchanged a nce, finding this friend Lin even more mysterious than before. At the same time, within the official business hall, several other people arrived. Long Hao Chen unconsciously looked around, and quickly, he came to see Yang Wenzhao. Simrly, Yang Wenzhao also saw him. Compared to when the qualifiers took ce, Yang Wenzhaos face was a lot paler, and as soon as he saw Long Hao Chen, hisplexion changedpletely as he disyed a look clearly filled with hostility. _Eh? Whats up with him? Hisplexion didnt look very good!_ Long Hao Chen was secretly thinking this, and moreover, the fighting spirit in him rose consequently; if he had the opportunity to have Yang Wenzhao as his opponent once again, he would definitely challenge him another time. With the experience of the previousbat, Long Hao Chen knew where he wascking. _Teacher was right, why did I just fight him head-on? Can it be that I am just toocking in terms of technique?_ Quickly, he saw another familiar person. Not far ahead, a huge bald head was sparkling because of the crystal clear lighting that shone upon it. Wasnt it that Sima Xian? So he also made it past the qualifiers! Recalling his grotesque fighting style, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but reveal a smile. It was a priest that couldnt heal! Du, du, du. Hearing a familiar sound behind him, Long Hao Chen had a conditioned reflex and turned around. It wasnt only him; but in the whole official business hall, there were at least ten pair of eyes that simultaneously turned around. And the overwhelming majority were people from the Assassin Temple. They wore a ck veil that covered their faces, but their -word for expression of eyes- couldnt conceal their reverent looks. Yang Wenzhao simultaneously heard this sound that made everyone who recognized it look sluggish. It was her, it was her, IT WAS HER! Yang Wenzhao didnt know why the Knight Temple left this matter unpunished; he himself didnt go to request his grandfathers help. This loss was a shame for him, so he wanted to get back at her with his own capabilities. Only, as soon as he saw Caier again in this ce, his heart became iparably shaken. The fact she could appear here implied that she was also a participant of the Demon Hunt Selection. As such, her age was definitely below 25 years old. Recalling their battle of the other day, Yang Wenzhao couldnt help but sweat; the wounds on his body were alreadypletely healed, but he felt as if his wounds suddenly started to ache. Caiers tyrannical attack had left an unerasable mark in the depth of his mind. At this very moment, he saw Long Hao Chens reaction upon seeing this blind girl using a blue-colored bamboo staff. Caier, you really came! Long Hao Chen took quick steps forward. Having not seen her for several days, upon hearing this familiar noiseing from the bamboo cane, he could only feel as if something had been set free in his heart. Almost without a single hesitation, he suddenly took her hand. The blue bamboo cane hitting the ground, Caier looked back slightly, before avoiding Long Hao Chens hand and with an extremely shy voice, she sensitively said in his ear, You know, there are many people here. Long Hao Chen felt somewhat awkward as he shook his head, Sorry, I Shall we start by sitting on the side? As he spoke, he didnt take Caiers hand this time, but still grabbed her blue bamboo cane and walked with her forward to find a ce to sit in this direction. Yang Wenzhao looked at their direction. His heart waspletely filled with grief and indignation, naturally directed toward this stinking little brat. What an absurd cmity! The assassins from the Assassin Temple didnt think the same way as him though; their eyes filled with grotesque looks were staring at him. It seemed that he was a knight! What kind of rtionship did he have with big sister #1? Despite the fact that Caier was only ranked 10th at the qualifiers, all the assassins that went through this trial were filled with something akin to worship towards her! Chapter 110 - Entering the Final Stage! (I)

Chapter 110: Entering the Final Stage! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Hao Chen grabbed Caiers bamboo cane and came back to sit at the location where he was previously seated, letting her sit on the vacant ce next to Li Xin, and helping Caier to sit there. Lin Xin was quite curious; after all, he hadnt known Long Hao Chen for a long time, but Li Xin appearedpletely astonished. Lil bro, this person is? Long Hao Chen started to blush, as he replied, This is Caier, Sis, shes my friend. Li Xin looked at him, before looking at Caier, before her face started to disy a grotesque smile, Hehe, so shes your little girlfriend. Lady Caier, hello, I am Li Xin, Hao Chens sworn big sister. Hello. Caier said in a low voice, but kept silent after saying this. Long Hao Chen said in a low voice to her ear, Caier, you came to participate to thepetition as well? Mh. Caier nodded in approval. Long Hao Chen couldnt help but immediately tell her, But you have never told me about that before. Caier spoke back, You also never asked for which purpose I came to Holy City. Long Hao Chen scratched his head. Yeah, it seemed that he had never asked her before. Li Xin said, Lady Caier, seeing your ck mask, you should be from the Assassin Temple, right? Caier calmly nodded. On the side, Lin Xin was also astonished, a blind assassin? But as far as he knew, it didnt seem very convincing. Naturally, he didnt voice his opinion to stay polite; even though he was astonished, he still didnt raise the question. In the second floor of the official business hall, several ck-d people wearing ck veils looked down; from their grey hair, it could be seen that they werent young anymore. So its this little youngster? How did he get familiar with the Saint Girl? A ck-d elder couldnt help but ask. It is unknown. From our investigation, it seems that the Saint Girl didnt know this person in the past. Didnt know? How could someone she didnt know get her to wound the grandson of the Yang old man from the Knight Temple? Hey, you from the falcon n, make sure to investigate this, okay? Old Ying, dont get angry. You should know the temperament of this Saint Girl and her perception. She doesnt like to be monitored by us. Hmpf. Standing in the center of this hall was a ck-d elder who was also the vice hall master of the Assassin Temple, the heroic and magnificent master Ying Suifeng. No matter how he looked at him, he didnt see Long Hao Chen favorably. He dared use the Saint Daughter of Samsara. _It was lucky that this old object, Han Qian, was the one who was sent toin to me. But the one toin should be me. Someone from their Knight Temple dared use our Caier._ The more Ying Suifeng thought about this, the more he became angry. His eyes couldnt help but be filled with an intense murderous spirit. As Caier was currently below, joyously chatting with Long Hao Chen, thetter felt a shiver covering his whole body, and instantly, the blood in his body rose up. A strong golden light instantly bursted forth from his body, instantly spreading out, and turning out extremely condensed. Above Long Hao Chens head, a faint condensed golden shape of sword appeared, Ehh? Ying Suifeng,pletely astonished, said in a low voice, Fifth step? Not fourth? Old Eagle, how did you conduct your investigation? Huh? But the information saying that hes at the fourth step cannot be wrong! The elders standing by his side had looks full of doubts, Unless Unless he broke through during thesest days. Ying Suifeng instantly appeared to be in a bad mood: What should I do? Tell me what I should do? This little brat from your Knight Temple wants to ab to abduct our Caier! He almost let the two words Saint Girl slip out. Han Qian said, full of anger, What abduct? They both mutually consent. It is visibly a love that rose by itself, do you understand? Ying Suifeng didnt weaken the slightest bit, as he continued, still as angry, Love that rose by itself, my ass! Our Caier is only 14 years-old, your Long Hao Chen is clearly an old cow eating light grass! Han Qian said in fury: Your ass filled with farts, you mean! Youre the one who should be called old cow eating light grass! Our Long Hao Chen is still 14 years old this year, hes at most older than her by a few months. What?! Still 14 years-old!? A faint smile appeared in Ying Suifengs face, A knight of the fifth step aged of 14 years-old, this is really terrible. Han Qian clenched his fist aggressively, because Ying Suifeng suddenly released towards Long Hao Chen some murderous intent; Han Qian was still extremely resentful towards the Assassin Temple for having wounded a youth with high status. If Long Hao Chen was the issue, the rtion that had been built for so many years between the two Temples could really be destabilized to some extent. But Ying Suifeng didnt expect what he said right afterwards, My mistake, hes 24 years-old. Han Qian immediately calmed down and together with his anger vanishing, he calmly said this. Ying Suifeng stepped forward, and with a loudugh, he patted his shoulder, Right, 24 years-old, I understand, I understand. Now tell me the truth, from your mouth to my ear. After all, whats our rtion? I will definitely keep that information confidential. Just like you will as well keep secrecy for us. Isnt this a good way to keep our two Temples in a familiar rtionship? Han Qian was at this moment in an internal struggle. Looking at Ying Suifeng with a gloomy face, he coldly snorted. You two old bastards are ganging up, what kind of shameful act are you preparing together? At this very moment, an elderly voice resounded. This elder had a gold-colored gown, his doubtful face looked at these two people standing out. Han Qian lifted up his hand, scattering isting light, Its nothing, Ying Suifeng is just having spasms, I am keeping an eye on him. Ying Suifeng conveniently nodded in agreement, seemingly in a good mood, Thats right, I just had a spasm, but its already all right. Old man Lin, the drawing of lots is about to start. I heard that this youngster from your family entered these finals as well, right? Theplexion of this old mage instantly changed, Humpf, dont bring up this little bastard, just thinking of him makes me angry. Ying Suifeng almost fell overughing, and said, Calm yourself down. Actually, arent you extremely proud of him? Isnt this grandson of yours with great attainments in alchemy a great source of admiration within your Temple? The old mage opened wide his eyes, and replied, This little bastards aplishment in regard to alchemy are pretty good, but he doesnt even know himself for which reason he wants to join a Demon Hunt Squad. Han Qian said, Its still a lot better than this little brat from my family; arrogant beyond limits, but cannot even pass the preliminaries. Eh? Didnt that youngster Han Yu break through the fifth step? Then how is it that he couldnt even get through these preliminaries? The old mage looked extremely curious, but he didnt even conceal the mocking face he wore, Lin Chen, old fool, is it fun tough on other peoples misfortune? Humph! Han Qian suddenly became in a bad mood. Lin Chen had a goodughter, before speaking back, How could I beughing on other peoples misfortune? I just thought that my familys little bastard was only a source of loss of face, but it turns out that the one from yours is also the same. This makes me really feel at ease; at least, my familys brat got through these qualifiers. You Han Qian cast an angry look at Lin Chen, Whats up with you? Are you looking for a fight? Thene! Im the closest to break through the ninth step, after having studied a forbidden spell as a mean to train. Its still notpleted yet, but I can take on you to try you out, if its what you want. Lin Chen didnt have the slightest hitch of fear. Okay, okay. You two, dont start a cock fight as soon as you run into each other. Are you okay with being treated asughstocks by the others? A soft female voice resounded, and a middle-aged woman wearing a white gown slowly approached. Her golden hair draped over her shoulder from behind, and white embroideries covered with golden advanced mystical characters were drawn. She wasnt young anymore, but her charm and her beautiful traits were still left. Looking at her, Han Qian and Lin Chen became sluggish. Each party groaned before shutting up. Ying Suifeng faintly smiled, nodded at this woman dressed with a white gown, and said, Greetings, Cardinal Ruoshui. Anyone who could hear how she was addressed as would definitely be shocked. This white gowned woman who looked in her forties was actually a Cardinal from the Priest Temple, the eighth step of the vocation! And looking at Han Qian and Lin Chens behaviour, it was clear that they were giving her face. Ruishui nodded, wearing a smile, as she said, in return, Greetings, Hall Master Ying With a light sigh, she went on, About the situation you were speaking about, during the qualifiers, a little freak has also appeared in our Priest Temple. Eh? The other three people simultaneously looked down. The Six Great Temples had apetitive rtion, and the Demon Hunt Selections were one of the several means through which theypeted among themselves. As such, the qualifiers of the other Temples were something they didnt keep track of. Currently, Ruoshui looked like she was having a headache. Naturally, the others were quite curious. Ruoshui sighed lightly, before saying, During the next qualifiers, I am afraid that well have to change the rules of thispetition., At the same time as she spoke, her gaze was directed at the bald guy below. In the official business hall, Long Hao Chens sudden use of his holy light attracted the attention of all the otherpetitors. However, this previous murderous intent had quickly disappeared, so Long Hao Chen quickly came back to his normal state. Only, at his back, some cold sweat was left. Caiers look was filled with hostility; as previously, Long Hao Chen had felt that intense murderous intent. Her left hand had already been lifted up, but right after it disappeared, she quietly lowered her hand. Whats going on? Li Xin suspiciously asked this question. Long Hao Chen shook his head, and answered, Shame on me, for a split second, I thought I felt someones attention focused on me, filled with an intense murderous intent. Lin Xins face looked indifferent as he answered,Never mind, its those people who are testing you, do you see them? On the second floor, the high uppers of the Six Great Temples are attending a ritual before the drawings of lots. What you felt definitely came from the direction of these bored old guys. After all, who would dare cause trouble in our Alliances office pce? Just at that time, an elder wearing a thin-gold-colored armor appeared on the terrace of the official business hall. This elder had a tall and sturdy stature, and felt even sturdier than the bald youth. His grizzled short hair were erected, and despite his age, he didnt look the slightest bit loosened. His muscles, as robust as granite, were covered by an imposing armor. This thin-golden-colored armor was embroidered with eight silver dragons, and his gaze was filled with an incredible prestige. As he appeared, his imposing presence naturally attracted the attention of all thepetitors that were currently present. Chapter 111 - Entering the Final Stage (II)

Chapter 111: Entering the Final Stage (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Now that everyone is present, the ceremony of subdivision may begin. Allpetitors will keep the numbers they had during the preliminaries. Your teachers should have already told you how the final stage was going to take ce, so this old man will directly get to the main point. Now, the drawing of lots may begin. Everyone will be in a group. After this drawing of lots, you will directly leave for the stadium where the first matches are going to take ce. As he spoke, an enormous crystal ball rose from the tform. This crystal ball was at least of a diameter of a meter. Transparent, it contained 60 yellow-colored little balls, each one containing some characters. The crystal ball was surrounded by six crystal pirs in the air, with the characters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on top. Without a single move that could be discerned from that elder, the saffron-colored little balls in the crystal ball started to twitch, and instantly following, one little ball after another started to move at a speed making them difficult to keep track of with the naked eyes, before precisely falling inside of these six crystal pirs. Obviously, because they were rather far apart, the characters on the balls could basically not be discerned, but except from Caier, all thepetitors in this official business hall had their eyes wide open, trying to find their own numbers in these crystal pirs. Quickly, all the 60 little balls entered the crystal pirs, there were precisely ten balls inside of each of the six pirs. The elder on stage started to speak in a dull voice, I am the Hall Master of the Warrior Temple; you may call me Mad Warrior Ren Wokuang. The drawing of ballots will take ce on the second floor of the building. If you dont have any questions, lets start right now. Second floor, Ruoshui said in a gentle voice, Everything is as usual, please start whenever you want, hall master. Ren Wokuang wore a smile, as he slightly nodded, looking at the direction of the second floor and advancing towards the crystal pir. Without any distinct movement from him, the ten orange little balls jumped up, surprisingly aligning and forming a row that floated in before him. Final stage, first group, your matches will take ce in the Knight Stadium of the Alliances Great Stadium. The first group will beposed of the knight #1, the warrior #2, the warrior # 67. Hearing Knight #1, Long Hao Chens gaze was immediately aimed at Yang Wenzhao. The first group was clearly Yang Wenzhaos. He wished that he could be in the same group as him, but unfortunately, it didnt turn out this way. His name didnt appear in the first groups list. Now that the list of the first group ofpetitors has been revealed, stand up! The staff members will take you to the stadium to start the first matches of this round-robin tournament. Yang Wenzhao slowly got up, and left under the lead of staff members from the Alliance. Right before leaving, he intentionally gave a look to Long Hao Chen and Caiers side. His eyes looked somewhat regretful. Just like Long Hao Chen wanted to challenge him once again, he wanted to challenge Caier, this time in an all-out fight. Final stage second group, your matches will take ce in the Mage Stadium of the Alliances Great Stadium. List of thepetitors of the second group: knight #98, assassin#1, priest #18, mage #1 Hearing the number 98, Li Xin felt nervous and excited. Looking all around, she said in a low voice to Long Hao Chen, Lil bro, who is this assassin #1 in your opinion? An assassin of the fifth step! Do I have a chance? T.T Simultaneously, she shot a nce to Lin Xin. Was he not the mage #1, after all? Long Hao Chen shook his head and said, Big sis, you will definitely be okay, cheer up! Caier was still seated there, as cold as before. Except from the times she was all alone with Long Hao Chen, she was usually like that. While Ren Wokuang followed the staff members to the Mage Stadium, Lin Xin hurriedly stood up, and Lin Xin who was at the other side of Long Hao Chen as well. Caier also stood up. Ill leave first. Caier told Long Hao Chen in a low voice. Eh? Long Hao Chen had clearly remembered that in the second group, there was only a single assassin and it was the Assassin #1. Caiers voice, as thin as a gossamer, sounded in Long Hao Chens ears, Be careful during thepetition. Dont be wounded again. After the match, I will be waiting for you in that ce. Wow! Lil sis Caier, so you were actually the assassin #1. Come, I am pulling you along. Li Xin was straightforward and passionate, and without the slightest inch of restraint, she pulled Caiers bamboo cane and walked forward with her. Caier was startled for a moment, but as soon as she thought about the fact that she was Long Hao Chens big sister, she immediately followed her along. Lin Xin rubbed his forehead, and with a bitter smile, he said, What a headache! It looks like luck will not always be in my side. This second group was a lot more powerful than the first one. Lin Xin was a lot more informed than the otherpetitors. The Assassin #1 was actually the previous little blind girl! This was something that he didnt expect. Reportedly, this assassin of the fifth step had challenged eleven otherpetitors at the same time during the previous qualifiers, but in the end, no one dared act against her. What kind of strength was that? There was also this priest #18, who ended up as the first ranked of his qualifiers! As Lin Xins heart felt gloomy, Long Hao Chen also saw that shiny bald head before him standing up. This tall and robust stature made him lookpletely unlike a priest, as he took big strides, walking along with the staff members. The absolute majority of thepetitors were rejoicing about this sad news, because without a doubt, a ughter was going to take ce among the members of this second group. Assassin #1, mage #1, the first numbered of two of the Six Great Temples were in the same group, and the others werent weak either. The most delighted people were those from the Assassin Temple. None of them was in the same group as Caier, so their current mood was pretty easy to guess. Final stage, third group, your matches will take ce in the Warrior Stadium of the Alliances Great Stadium. Composed of thepetitors as follow: Summoner #1, mage #2, knight #97, warrior #23, assassin #13, assassin #16, assassin #18, assassin #24 Among these 10 youths, there were unexpectedly 4 assassins. In addition, the others werent weak either. The firstpetitor belonging to this mysterious Spiritual Temple, and also the secondpetitor of the Mage Temple. The four assassins stood up, immediately heading towards the staff members, but their faces that had been filled with joy a little while before instantly became an ugly sight to behold. Thats right, they didnt end up in Caiers group, but who did they see? Wasnt he exactly the youth that was seated together with big sister #1? Although the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple sealed off their informations, these assassins who managed to enter the top ten were all elites among the youths of the Assassin Temple and all of them naturally received the guidance of a powerful master. They had vaguely heard about the news that shook the two Temples during thesest few days. It was precisely because this big sister #1 went to raid a certainpetitoring from the Knight Temple, and she did so for the sake of anotherpetitor of the Knight Temple. Without a doubt, it was precisely this knight #97 who was standing before their eyes. Looking at Long Hao Chen and his handsome face that could go as far as to be described as a stunning sight, these assassin maintained their guess. Their hearts were howling in grief, because they knew that if they were to win against this knight #97, and to wound him in the process, wouldnt Long Hao Chen naturally didnt know what these assassins were thinking about. As he walked forward toward the staff members, he observed some femalepetitors. The ones he paid the most attention to were two girls. The small and delicate one looked like she was even smaller than him, and had a very weak-looking appearance. When he asionally sent curious nces to this older femalepetitor, he appeared somewhat bashful. What she wore was an exotic blue-colored mage gown. The other girl was a lot taller, her height exceeded 1.7 meters and her ck hair formed a neat and nimble twintail. With her picturesque appearance, she looked slender and agreeable. However, at her back was an enormous shield. Because this shield was even taller than her, she could only put it at her back, horizontally. Besides the summit of this shield, its two sides were curved, almost shaped as des. These two curves met each other, taking the shape of a sharp needle. From its looks, this shield was just like a sort of enormous sharp de. The thickest ce of this shield was frighteningly roughly a foot wide, with nine spikes all around. The outwards space waspletely empty, and its uses were mysterious. How heavy could this shield be? A knight like Long Hao Chen felt afraid of this sight; this girl carried it as if it was nothing. The Alliances office pce was not far from the Alliances Great Stadium, and quickly, they arrived to the Warrior Stadium. The drawing of lots kept going, determining the remaining groups for thepetition. The matches were going to take ce for nine days in every group, with five matches every day. The tenpetitors would fight against a different person on every day ofpetition. The ranking was going to depend on the number of wins. After the first and second were determined, the third of the ranking could also have the asion to enter the round robin tournament opposing those belonging to the top 16. Because it was a round-robin tournament, the drawing of ballots was not so important, and afterpleting it, the first battle of the final stage would immediately take ce. The Demon Hunt Selection matches were even colder during the final stage than thepetition. There were already a lot less people sitting on the tform, only six people. However, thepetitors didnt know that these six people came from the Six Great Temples, and were in charge of supervising the course of thepetition. Before it officially started, Long Hao Chens group of ten received another list. Above it, there was no number, only names, and Long Hao Chens first opponent was a member of the Assassin Temple, named Xing Xuan. This name sounded very feminine, but in reality, it was a small youth with a wretched appearance. First match, Long Hao Chen vs Xing Xuan. The match may begin All referees were powerhouses at the seventh step. Looking at their clothes, it looked like today, the referees were War Kings of the seventh step. With a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, Long Hao Chen walked into the stadium. In this group, there were a lot of people from the Assassin Temple, four of them. There were also two priests, but only a single person from all the other Temples. Compared to those from the second group, Long Hao Chen felt that his luck was not bad, and that he had great chances to end up in the top two. Chapter 112 - Entering the Final Stage (III)

Chapter 112: Entering the Final Stage (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Because the stadium is unsuitable to assassins performances, four pirs that can conceal them will be erected, to guarantee thepetition will be fair. What wasnt known was that a particr mechanism was used to form one thick pir after another they came out from the ground instantly, sending out crunching noises. They finally stopped expanding after growing 15 meters high. The presence of these four pirs that needed two people to fully encircle them was very advantageous to assassins. If not for them, in this wide and t stadium, they had no way to disy the most of their speed, dodging abilities, and concealment. The small Xing Xuan moved his eyes, looking at Long Hao Chen with a cautious look. He was inwardlyining, _Why am I his first opponent? Please let someone else switch with me, at least to let me see the reaction of big sister #1. Lets forget about it, and have a probing match._ Match begins! Along with the referees loud voice, Xing Xuan didnt move back; his silhouette instantly twinkled before disappearing behind a pir. To an outstanding assassin, the most important thing was to never let the opponent find out his definite location. Long Hao Chen stood there, without following him. A golden fog raised around him, revolving around his body, and twinkling, while emitting a gentle luster. It was precisely [Storing Power]. Within the third group, he was the only knight. As a result, his opponent didnt know at all what his fighting style was. This [Storing Power] was not amonly used skill, so even within the Knight Temple, a lot of people didnt know it, let alone peopleing from other Temples. Except for the mage bearing #2 and the female warrior bearing an enormous shield, the other people were at a loss, not understanding what Long Hao Chen was doing. At the moment Long Hao Chen used [Storing Power], he moved to some extent. The Radiant Shield in his left hand was covering his chest while the Light Sword in his right hand was inclined parallelly to the ground. With one foot forward and the second one backwards, he took the stance that would give him the best reaction time. Xing Xuan was concealed behind a pir. After having rapidly moved away, he watched Long Hao Chens movements. He didnt recognize the skill [Storing Power], but the assassins perception was very high. He could clearly feel that Long Hao Chen was bing more and more dangerous at an astonishing speed. Certainly, the ability he was using was one that was the more powerful the longer itsted. It was very unlikely for weaklings to be able to enter the final stage. Xing Xuan immediately shifted his thoughts away from big sister #1, and immediately responded using his battle instinct. As his figure twinkled, he had already leaped to the sky, arriving next to a pir located on the left side of Long Hao Chens back. As he jumped, a membrane made of leather appeared on both of his arms. This was special equipment belonging to assassins, called Defensive Wing that enabled him to glide at a short distance. It could also be used to parry the opponents attacks, and was one of the favorite pieces of equipment used by assassins below the sixth step. [Holding Back Breath]. This skill was a required course for assassins. Xing Xuan was currently just like a tree leaf, and didnt let out any sound as he fell on the ground. He approached Long Hao Chen from the back, not only rapidly, but also without causing the slightest vibration in the air. Long Hao Chen had kept his original defensive posture all along, as he used [Storing Power]. The gold-yellow-colored fog surrounding him seemed to be more and more intimidating. Xing Xuan was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, he was already at Long Hao Chens back, about to attack. Two pitch-ck daggers appeared: one in each of his hands. His left hand aimed straight for Long Hao Chens back, while his right hand aimed for his neck. Naturally, if Long Hao Chen didnt react, he wouldnt really y him. It was after all a match, not a death-or-lifebat. In a split second, as Xing Xuan was about to attack, Long Hao Chen moved. He rapidly stepped half a step forward with his right foot, only half a step, and immediately, his shoulder shed as he turned towards his left side. Meanwhile, his right foot served as a fulcrum for his body to swiftly turn around, facing Xing Xuan who was previously at his back. Xing Xuans swipe naturally had no effect, and his dagger which was stabbing toward Long Hao Chens back happened to graze his armor, producing a spark on it, without hitting his body. [Shield Charge], Long Hao Chens center of gravity wasnt the slightest unsteady as he issued out this skill. The Radiant Shield simply sparkled intensely, as a halo of rich light instantly expanded forward, turning into an immense shield with a height of two meters, directly bumping into Xing Xuan. Fifth step! In a split second, Xing Xuan figured out Long Hao Chens cultivation level through the formidable power of his [Shield Charge]. There could only be a single exnation, that Long Hao Chen was at the fifth step. He could not think of anything else, as his body instantly curled up, emitting spiritual energy as his two daggers darted forward at light speed, instantly stabbing against the Radiant Shield. With a _Peng_ sound, Xing Xuan was sent out flying. Because Long Hao Chens cultivation had already officially broken through the boundary of the fifth step, this [Shield Charge] made of liquid spiritual energy wasnt something Xing Xuan could possibly manage to block, even without the addition of the effects of [Storing Power]. His body was sent flying just like it was victim of an explosion. But an assassin also had some strong points; in a short span, after falling victim to this intense charge, Xing Xuan seized the opportunity to leap away, making use of the astonishing impulse. At least, he didnt sustain any heavy injury. [Assault], a skill of knight of the fifth step. Long Hao Chen didnt stop to there. As nimble as wind and as scorching as fire, his whole bodyunched [Assault], appearing like a bolt of lightning, and directly aiming for his opponent. A de made of light filled the atmosphere, it was a golden edge of light that wasunched, [Light Thrust]. At this moment, Xing Xuan didnt have any support in the middle of the air, further adding the fact that his whole body had be numb because of the charge, how could this attack be easy to avoid? If he was hit by this [Light Thorn] of the knight of the fifth step Long Hao Chen, the match would surely end up as his defeat. Xing Xuans training level was outstanding, even whenpared to all these other young talents, and the fact he managed to go through the preliminaries testified of the fact he was in no way weak. In such an unfavorable situation, he stretched his left hand, extending his Defensive Wing. Relying on the ability of his Defense Wing rapid deflection, he avoided the danger by a little, dodging Long Hao Chens [Light Thorn]. Right after his two footnded on the ground, he instantly disappear behind a stone pir. Long Hao Chens face appeared to be suddenly astonished, but he didnt immediately pursue and attack. His feet halting, with the same motion as previously, he used once again [Storing Power]. Looking at his quiet and indifferent appearance, it was clear that he hadnt the slightest worry. Hidden behind a pir, Xing Xuan took big mouthful after big mouthful of air. No wonder No wonder that he could be big sister #1s friend. Hes a powerhouse of the fifth step! At the same step, assassins that met knights as their opponent were already disadvantaged, to say nothing about the case where there was a gap between their cultivation level. He was extremely lucky during this face-to-face sh. And even though his opponent looked focused on storing, he absolutely wasnt taken by surprise by his attack. _I cannot fight him head-on, but in a turnaround fight, I may have a thin chance._ Thinking this, Xing Xuan didnte out. _I wont take the initiative to attack you, even if the spiritual energy you are gathering together is growing more and more formidable, what use will it have if you are unable to find my location?_ Thinking up to this point, Xing Xuan turned back towards the opposite direction, standing, without shame at the same ce, without moving the slightest bit. Long Hao Chen seemed that he wasnt the slightest bit worried about being unable to find his opponents location. Not only did he maintain his [Storing Power], he was in addition shutting both eyes, little by little. The whole stadium immediately sunk into silence. However, the referee didnt stop this kind of fight from proceeding; as a War King of the seventh step, he naturally understood the skill [Storing Power]. Once Long Hao Chen would have wasted his whole internal spiritual energy, if he didnt immediatelyunch the attack, his spiritual energy would naturally scatter, and may result in him losing this match. This referee was sunk in his thoughts, wondering what Long Hao Chen was nning to do. What he didnt understand was the reason why Long Hao Chen was standing motionless and kept storing power. What use was there to act this way? The concealed Xing Xuan was all along observing Long Hao Chens actions. The more he watched him, the more he felt helpless. Long Hao Chens whole body was already glittering in a gold color because of [Storing Power]. This rich light essence gathering around him was truly frightening, the attack that would follow along was truly going to be extremely tyrannical. Xing Xuan didnt pick any other choice, he could only keep himself concealed, continuously using the assassin skill [Holding Back Breath], as he didnt dare move the slightest bit. In addition, looking at Long Hao Chens closed eyes, and thinking back about Caiers previous tyrannical attacks, he didnt even dare imagine the power of the iing attack. Just like that, time kept passing, minute after minute, seconds after seconds, Long Hao Chens [Storing Power] was continuing and had alreadysted two minutes. At this very moment, Long Hao Chen finally started his next move. His body surrounded by a dense fog dispersing around, he lifted up the Light Sword in his hand. A zing white gush erupted from the de, and within the time of a single breath, his Light Sword had already turned into an incandescent color. [Holy Sword]. Because of the huge concentration of spiritual energy gathered by [Storing Power], by the time he made use of [Holy Sword], the energy stored seemed to be already reducing drastically. Long Hao Chens gaze shot toward a pir. It seemed as if he was looking at his target through it. Still concealed, Xing Xuan greatly loosened his breath. The pir Long Hao Chen was looking at was at theplete opposite directionpared to his. Although the strength Long Hao Chen previously disyed was extremely great, if this [Storing Power] of his was wasted like that, even he would lose his chance to prevail over his opponent. At best, the match would end up as a tie, and this way, there would be no need to fear the iing resentment of big sister #1. As Xing Xuan was scheming in his mind, the Light Sword in Long Hao Chens hand was finally chopped down. A zing white light was turning into a huge edge of light filling the atmosphere, but what shocked Xing Xuan was that even though Long Hao Chen was looking in the other direction, his edge of light aimed was precisely pointed at his direction. Impossible, how could he find me? This was the sole thought in Xing Xuans mind. However, at this moment, how could he still avoid that? Only heaven knew how solid this pir was, and this [Holy Light Strike] produced by Long Hao Chens [Holy Sword] made even this War King feel a threatening pressure. Let alone Xing Xuan, this sort of pressure even affected the subconscious mind of a War King, leaving inside a thread of fear. Both feet exerted strength to move forward, at the direction of the stone pir, as Xing Xuan sshed across, trying to dodge Long Hao Chens attack. However, at this very moment, Long Hao Chens eyes suddenly shed with a red ray, flying out toward Xing Xuan, as his body was instantly covered by ayer of red all around.

Chapter 113: Abnormal Combat(s) (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Knight skill of the sixth step, [Lock on]. Even Yang Wenzhao, with his strength that reached the fifth step, found this [Lock on] skill quite threatening, let alone this Xing Xuan whose cultivation level was quite inferior to Long Hao Chen. No matter how great his dodging abilities were, [Lock on] waspleted in an instant, and [Holy Sword Strike] instantly twisted the air, aiming to strike him as Long Hao Chen pursued him. To assassins, What one should be the most afraid of is the skill [Lock on] used by knights. When an assassin trains to the sixth step, gaining the possibility of learning the skill [Invisibility], he will still be countered by the skill [Lock on]. However, just like this red-colored [Lock on] was fast to appear, it was also fast to disappear. After twinkling for an instant, this red light dissipated. Because Xing Xuan kept flying away, [Holy Light Strike] didnt have a target to reach, and could only scatter on the ground. _Bang._ The yellow dirt suddenly brightened, making an astonishing sight appear in the eyes of the otherpetitors. On the ground, a 15 meters high and 10 metersrge immense ravine appeared, and all the surrounding yellow dirt turned brown, clearly from the effect of the light-elemental luminous scorching attack. An intense aura of the light attribute rapidly surged out from the ground. As Xing Xuans both feet touched the ground, his eyes twinkled with an infinitely bewildered look. In a split second, he felt as if he had risen to heaven. Looking around, as soon as he saw this immense ravine, his clothes started to be soaked in cold sweat. If such a tyrannical attack had hit his body, he was afraid that there wouldnt even be bones left of him. Without the slightest hesitation, Long Hao Chen had voluntarily removed [Lock on] so that this attack wouldnt really fall on his body. Completely terrified and extremely nervous, he let these words slip, I admit my defeat, thank you for having been lenient, big sisters man. As expected, he conceded to Long Hao Chen but this appetion astonished himpletely, Big sisters man? Whats a big sisters man? Victor, Long Hao Chen. The referee dered Long Hao Chen the winner of this match, as he sent astonished looks to him. This powerhouse of the seventh step had no idea what ability Long Hao Chen had relied on to find Xing Xuans location. Of course, what they didnt know was that Long Hao Chens mental capacity waspletely different from ordinary people, who would bepletely unable to immediately find an assassin using [Holding Back Breath]. Previously, when Xing Xuan had been dodging and concealing himself from him, Long Hao Chen relied on his powerful perception, and mental capacity to follow Xing Xuans moves, He shut his two eyes to focus on using his mental capacity to determine his urate position. It was for the same reason that he was calmly using [Storing Power]. Knight of the fifth step, this was enough to make all the otherpetitors of this third group alert . They clearly saw that Long Hao Chen hadnt released his mount at all! If this kind of knight of the fifth step also had a powerful mount, his strength was bound to be on the height of an enormous tower. The most gloomy were these few assassins. [Lock on]; this man of big sister surprisingly had such a skill normally used by knights of the sixth step. How could they be a match for him? Without the slightest hesitation, all they could aim for was the possibility of ending up second of this group. At the moment Long Hao Chen obtained the victory of this first match, the second groupspetition was also extremely fierce and bitterly ongoing. Second match, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, you may go on stage. Lin Xin didnt know this bald priest at all, and he walked over to the stadium while looking up to his opponent. This was a priest gown, but this guy was extremely robust. Werent priests bodies supposed to be extremely feeble? Head full of doubts, Lin Xin was heading to the stadium. Sima Xian wasnt nervous at all. The word fear didnt exist in this bald priests vocabry. Grabbing his thick staff, he walked forward withrge strides, heading to the stadium. The referee calmly said, Because priests arent good at attacking, as long as a priest manages to hold out for ten minutes, the match will be considered as his victory. The match may start. The most important thing for a priest in a teamfight is actually his ability to heal and to support, and as a result, a purebat is absolutely unfair to a priest. Thus, the Demon Hunt Selection designed these rules. Facing Sima Xian, Lin Xin showed his most handsome smile, Hello brother Sima. I am the mage bearing the number 1 and also the one who ended up ranked first of the preliminaries. Let me give you a piece of advice: it would be better for you to concede now; if I were to injure you, wouldnt it affect the rest of yourpetition? Mages were publicly known as the most powerful among the six temples in terms of offensive power. What priests were the weakest against were assassin, and then mages. Lin Xin told Sima Xian that his attacks were extremely powerful and that he had no way to bear them, and so, the best for him to avoid losing face was to concede. If it was another priest who was about to face the first ranked mage of the preliminaries, he would probably bepletely intimidated. But was it like that for Sima Xian? This fellow was a priest, but there was only violence in his mind. Concede my ass. The great I has also ended up first in the Priests Preliminaries. I aming. As he spoke, Sima Xian took big strides forward, directly charging toward Lin Xin. His dark-colored staff with a faint gold-colored gem atop suddenly shone, spreading a rich sacred light all around, proper to priests. This fellow really was a wooden club. Lin Xin was sighing to himself as he lifted up his right hand, making a fire cloud crystal that served as his staff immediately appear in his hand. The fire attribute was immediately amplified around him; a thick fire essence filled the air surrounding his whole body with a thin red color. Looking at this scene, without needing to mention that Li Xin was startled, even Caier wrinkled her brows as she felt the intensity of the fire essence that was filling the air around them. The fire cloud crystal was pointed forward, making an immense zing shield appear before Lin Xin. This was the skill [Fire Shield] of the second step, but used by Lin Xin, this [Fire Shield] was a foot long, and half a foot wide. His body was entirely behind it, making the atmosphere of the whole stadium zing. Sima Xian was also shivering, but it didnt affect his charge. With a shout, the staff in his hand directly smashed against the [Fire Shield]. _Is Is this a priest?_ Lin Xin opened his eyes wide, and all the otherpetitors of the second group did the same. With a _Puff_ sound, the [Fire Shield] violently swayed, and countless cracks appeared at the ce against which the rod collided. Sima Xian didnt stop moving, his enormous rod hitting the ground, _Bang bang bang bang_. Repeated series of blows fell on the [Fire Shield], fire scattered in all direction, and the the [Fire Shield] couldnt stand the attack anymore. Lin Xins immediate reaction was to curse him secretly: Damn! Once again raising his fire cloud crystal, he didnt omit chanting another incantation. A rich me blossomed from him, it was [Repelling Ring of Fire]. Just like his [Fire Shield] this [Repelling Ring of Fire] was at least twice the size of usual ones. But at this moment, the gem in Sima Xians staff brightened, creating a white vibrating ring, fiercely striking against [Repelling Fire Ring]. [Sacred Knock]. [Repelling Ring of Fire] and [Sacred Knock] met each other. Sima Xians magical staff swept away, _Bang_ , [Fire Shield] was dispersed. Lin Xin was a mage of the fifth step. Whenpared to Sima Xian who was only at the fourth step, there was a big gap between both sides. In particr, Lin Xins control over the fire element was especially formidable. In the instant the [Fire Shield] was dispersed, another [Fire Shield] immediately appeared, and another [Repelling Fire Ring] was released. These ones struck Sima Xian, pushing him back. _Is there a mistake? Isnt this guy closer to a warrior? A warrior draped in priest clothes._ Lin Xin waspletely speechless. Murmuring the verses of another incantation, he shot a reddish-gold-colored fireball. As everyone thought that he was about to attack, this reddish-gold-colored fireball divided into more little fireballs, aimed at the six directions around him. Pure Element [Fire Shield], let me see how you will break through this. Lin Xin shouted in anger. Sima Xian disdainfully twitched his mouth, Pure Element [Fire Shield] my ass, Ill break it the same way. Right after speaking, he bellowed a warcry, before charging once again. Lifting the magical staff in his hand, he concentrated a lot of power. Simultaneously, an enormous [Sacred Hammer] ferociously hit his [Pure Element Fire Shield]. For a moment, on the stadium, a fire-red-colored light and a gold-colored light simultaneously appeared. A concentrated spiritual energy unceasingly surged out on the battlefield. Big sis Li Xin, how is it that I cant really make sense of what Im hearing? Caier asked Li Xin, looking at a loss and uprehending. A bitter smile was drawn on Li Xins face as she replied, Dont say you cant make sense of what youre hearing I cannot even make sense of what Im seeing. A mage is fighting against a priest, but the priest is the main attacker, and the mage is the main defender. Its really Abnormal, this was abnormalbat. The bald priest Sima Xian was charging while lifting up his magical staff, just like a dragon about to sail out, unceasingly bombarding Lin Xins defense. Lin Xin was quite firm, constantly releasing his defense. Letting Sima Xian constantly attack, like rain, he didnt move the slightest bit. But he didnt use any offensive abilities. Lin Xins fire cloud crystal asionally repaired the defense, and with a proud look, he said, Baldie, it wont do. Do you think you will break through my defense one day? Let me see how you will manage to, hmpf. Sima Xian let out a cold snort, What is there to be proud of? The great I is only using his physical strength to attack you. You are using up your internal spiritual energy, so sooner orter, it will end uppletely depleted. At this moment, let me see how you will block my attacks. Actually, he waspletely baffled by the power of Lin Xins spiritual energy. If he used some tyrannical offensive magic, he was afraid that there would be no way for him to resist them, since he could use none of the defensive abilities normally used by priests. However, from beginning to end, this guy had never attacked. Why? Lin Xin, full of disdain, curled up his lips, extending his left hand. With a sparkle, a crystal bottle appeared in it. For you to want to use up my spiritual energy, Im afraid that it will be nothing more than daydreams. Big bro has drugs. Do you see, each of the pills in this battle can restore 200 units of spiritual energy. Let me see for how long your body will be able to hold out. Sima Xian opened his eyes wide, This is clearly a shameless act. Lin Xin, with an air ofcency, spoke back, What are you calling shameless act? The greatpetition doesnt forbid taking medicine. Big bro has drugs, big bro has drugs, do you have some? Let alone this, for such a little amount of spiritual energy, who would contest the fact big bro is taking medicines? Chapter 114 - Abnormal Combat(s) (II)

Chapter 114: Abnormal Combat(s) (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The fire cloud crystal in his hand, further adding to the fact that he had liquid spiritual energy, made low level defensive magic be several times more effective when used by him, and naturally, his spiritual energy would be used up very slowly. It would really not be easy for Sima Xian to break through his defense. Stop. In this very moment, the referee called out in a loud voice, making both people to be deadlocked. The match is over. Victor, Sima Xian Eh? Lin Xin frantically protested, How is it that he won? Referee, havent you seen that he didnt manage to break through my defense? The referee gave him an unhappy look, and answered, Are you the priest or is he the priest? Ten minutes, didnt you know? You two abnormal guys, hurry up to go down. Hic.. Lin Xin finally remembered that his opponent was a priest, not a warrior. The limit of ten minutes was finished. Only, he just defended while his opponent was the attacker. Sima Xian immediately reacted, without holding back, heughed out loudly, Wahaha, you fool, big bro is a priest. As he walked over to the side, Sima Xian imitated Lin Xins demeanor and speech, inclining his sturdy bottocks, Big bro has drugs, big bro has drugs The other eight people in the rest area didnt know whether tough or to cry. What a clown! Only, what they didnt understand the most was the fact that Lin Xin had not used any offensive spells all along. Only Li Xin had an idea about that: she remembered Ye Huas words, that this Lin Xin was most likely unable to attack. Next match, Caier against Li Xin. Both sides may enter. The referee gave a kind of demonic feel as he announced the begin of the next match without the slightest halt. Staring at Caier, Li Xin really felt embarrassed. This delicate youngdy was blind. As such, how could she possibly fight?! Caier, we should go on stage. Li Xin had already made up her mind; for having passed the preliminaries, her luck was already excellent. For her to aim for obtaining in addition a good ranking was an impossible feat. Only one who entered the top 16 would have the possibility of obtaining a reward, but to do so from that group wouldnt be easy. Since it was this way, she would just let it be water off a ducks back and forget about it. She also made it clear to her little brother. Thinking about this, she pulled Caiers bamboo cane and led her to the stadium. Both sides stood straight, and at the moment the referee was about to announce the raise of the pirs to enable assassins to disy their might, Caier suddenly said, No need, I concede this match. Dang Li Xin was instantly astonished, Little sister Caier, you Caier calmly shook her head, looking at Li Xin. The bamboo cane in her hand hit the ground, as she left it without notice. Li Xin hurried to follow her. Yes, it was a good thing to win without a fight, but looking Caier who was taking somewhat unsteady steps, she felt greatly unwilling. Little sister Caier. Li Xin took her hand, No need for you to concede, I have no way to enter the top 16 anyway. Caier faintly smiled, It is a matter for your own effort, you cant say for sure that you cant, right? As the twost matches of the second group ended abnormally, another abnormalbat was also going to take ce among the third group in the Warrior Stadium. Next match, Chen Yinger, Wang Yuanyuan, you may enter. After Long Hao Chens match was done, he was originally preparing to leave, and wait for Caier, but as soon as he saw the two people on stage, he immediately came to a halt. It was because the two on stage were precisely the two girls he saw earlier who attracted his attention. Chen Yinger was a petite girl, a littledy who looked extremely weak. And Wang Yuanyuan was the tall girl who carried a shield on her back. _Bang._ Wang Yuanyuan dropped her heavy shield on the ground, letting out an oppressive sound. The loess on the dirt shook as her shield hit the ground. Clearly, the might of this shield wasnt all about its size. Chen Yinger was startled, and her body shook, Wah, big sister, your shield looks really heavy. Wang Yuanyuan faintly smiled, answering her, Little missy from the Spiritual Temple, in a moment, you should be careful. If that wont do, just surrender. Chen Yinger repeatedly nodded as she stared at this enormous shield, showing an extremely frightened appearance. The match may start. The referee dered while simultaneously drawing back. Wang Yuanyuan carried her immense shield in her left hand, entering abat posture. Moving her two legs rhythmically at high speed, she immediately charged toward Chen Yinger. Her pace was quite fast, it could even bepared to that of knights using their skill [Assault]. On her shield, her hand sttered an intense blue brilliance. Facing Wang Yuanyuans lightning bolt-like assault, Chen Yinger didnt panic; with her hands joining with a movement, a big crystal ball immediately appeared in her palm. With a _buzz_ sound, a soft energy was fluctuating around this crystal ball. Wave-like ripples of spiritual energy were quickly being spread around. Although Wang Yuanyuan wasing at a great speed, it wasnt, in the end, faster than the speed of release of the spiritual energy. Theyer of ripples that undted around Chen Yinger were already blocking her path after only ten meters. Ah, hey! Wang Yuanyuan cried out loudly. Lifting the shield in her hand, she directed its sharp end forward. To ones surprise, she moved her hand and lifted up her shield above her head, as if it was an axe, ruthlessly striking it down forward against the invisible protective screen. With a _puff_ light sound, Wang Yuanyuan only felt that Chen Yingers defense was pierced as if it was cotton. This blow didnt really get stopped, but a cotton-like soft feeling bound her, and immediately, a soft stic force was produced on her, knocking her back together with her shield, making her steadily fall on the ground. How could that happen? Wang Yuanyuans eyes contained a bewildered look. In the past, she fought with mages, but this was the first time she battled a summoner. It was the first time she saw these techniques. The Chen Yinger, who looked harmless at the first nce, wasnt actually as easy to deal with as it seemed! Chen Yinger seemed as if she didnt see Wang Yuanyuan at all. Her pair of eyes were staring fixedly at the huge ring the size of a human head, above her crystal ball. A soft thin blue radiance sprinkled from her crystal ball, and suddenly, a thin blue-colored hexagram appeared on the ground before her. Her spiritual energy that was fluctuating on the ground from beginning to end gave off a very gentle vibe, but this thin-blue hexagram appeared instantly, and at the same time, Chen Yingers face turned paler, so much that her body was on the verge of copse. Immediately following, a gate rose from the middle of this hexagram. This gate was extremely beautiful, 6.5 meters wide, over 13 meters high, and as soon as it appeared from the ground, countless glows of light seemed to have appeared, hooping around excitedly. Numerous animal cries could also be heard, insect cry, bird cry, dog bark, tiger hiss, dragon roar, and countless living creatures cries resounded in the middle of this stadium. Around the magnificent gate were drawn countless carvings. It seemed like carvings of magical beasts. These magical beasts all looked extremely excited. Only, there was unexpectedly no way to recognize these magical beasts. From around the gate, a light-blue-colored weapon appeared, emitting a dark green luster all around. [Creature Summoning Gate]? Not far apart, the referee let this remark slip, as he saw the huge changes that appeared in Chen Yingers face. Long Hao Chen opened wide his eyes as well. It was the first time he saw such an astonishing scene, associating it with the previous list of names. Then, it urred to him that summoner #1 from the Spiritual Temple was in his group. Could it be that it was actually this littledy who didnt seem any older than him? It was clear that she was at least at the fifth step, after all, what was [Creature Summoning Gate]? The most nervous person was undoubtedly this Wang Yuanyuan in the middle of the battlefield. Not the least impatient to attack, she slightly curled up as an extremely tyrannical aura started to spread around her body. A strong blue-green radiance covered her body, including the shield in her hand. What no one saw was that an enormous gem appeared in her left hand; what mysterious use could it have? Open please, Creature Summoning Gate. All living beings shall obey my call, return to me, mypanion! Chen Yingers melodious voice was ringing in the middle of the battlefield, and immediately, from this Creature Summoning Gate, a white ring appeared, shooting a bolt of white light and then what came out from the gate was The gigantic shield in Wang Yuanyuans hand was lifted up, as she was prepared to insert the gem in her other hand into one of the nine holes of her shield. However, in the next instant, she stopped her hands motion, and opened wide her mouth, seeing apletely inconceivable scene. It wasnt only her; even the referee and the otherpetitors, including Long Hao Chen, had exactly the same reaction. All had their mouth wide opened, not daring to believe the sight before their eyes. Right, this was a too inconceivable scene. From this enormous Creature Summoning Gate, a summoned beast had appeared. Only, there was too huge a disparity between its body and the size of the Creature Summoning Gate. MeehC The summon called out in a soft voice. Its soft little silhouette moved slightly; it seemed almost afraid of the surrounding atmosphere. Turning around, it ran in the opposite direction. Arriving before Chen Yinger, it hopped and hopped, as if searching for protection. Exactly, that was a littlemb, a littlemb whose height didnt even reach a foot. Its soft and curly woolen appearance was especially lovely. A pair of watery little eyes winking, it seemed to want to drink some milk. From Chen Yingers face, it could be seen that she absolutely didnt know whether tough or to cry as she carried it in her arms, stamping her feet, What a bad luck, unlucky me; I concede. The enormous Creature Summoning Gate slowly sunk down in the ground before disappearingpletely. Chen Yinger was still holding this littlemb, and under the attentive watch of thepletely dumbfounded Wang Yuanyuan, left resentfully. Clearly, she was dissatisfied with her performance. This The referee didnt know what to say anymore. In the instant he saw this Creature Summoning Gate, he becamepletely terrified. Within the Spiritual Temple, only Spiritual Emperors at the eighth step of vocation or above could use this formidable summoning magic ability. By the means of the Creature Summoning Gate, extremely powerful creatures could be summoned. And its best benefit was precisely that by the means of this Creature Summoning Gate, the summoned creatures werepletely obedient. During their time of existence here, they would bepletely under the control of their summoner. Chapter 115 - Abnormal Combat(s) (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, what came out from such a formidable spell of the eight step was unexpectedly being held in this youngdys hand. How couldnt that astonish everyone? The ultimate result left everyone betweenughter and tears. To everyones surprise, what she summoned was nothing more than a littlemb. Without the slightest hesitation, this was another abnormal match, and a fairly abnormal one at that Long Hao Chens gaze was focused on Chen Yinger who walked forward, the corners of her mouth twitching around. He suddenly thought that it seemed that he had heard his teacher say that a genius appeared the Spiritual Temple, and he went as far as to summon a magical beast of the eighth step! It should be her. However, if she could summon a magical beast of the eighth step, what was up with this littlemb that she had just summoned? Wang Yuanyuan was also baffled. Stealthily stowing the gem in her hand, she moved away from the stadium, remainingpletely puzzled. Thinking about Caier, Long Hao Chen didnt remain any longer, and walked away from the stadium at a fast speed, directly heading to their usual ce. Because in the second group, Lin Xin and Sima Xians matchsted ten minutes, when Long Hao Chen arrived, Caier wasnt here yet. Finally having arrived earlier than her, Long Hao Chen rxed. He calmly stood there, waiting for her. He never knew that waiting like that could leave people so full of expectations. Du, Deng, Du. Light sounds came out from a fairly distant ce. Long Hao Chens hearing was pretty good, so he immediately recognized this familiar sound. Lifting up his head, he immediately saw Caiering from there, together with Li Xin, supported by an arm of hers. Seeing Long Hao Chen at the side, Li Xin immediately waved her other hand. Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen revealed a knowing smile, before intending to meet them, but suddenly, a zing scene urred. From his forehead, Long Hao Chen felt as if an enormous furnaceing from heaven was enveloping him. In the next instant, his brain waspletely nk. From a distance, Li Xin who was supporting Caier was about to walk over, when suddenly, she discovered to her astonishment that Long Hao Chens forehead had lightened with a purple light. From this purple light, nine branches could vaguely be seen. This purple light suddenly shed, and instantly, Long Hao Chen disappeared without any basis. How did that happen? Hao Chen! Li Xin anxiously called out, and Caier by his side, instantly feeling that something was not right, hastily asked, Big Sis Xiner, did something happen? Hao Chen Hao Chen disappeared! Li Xin pulled Caiers arm and dashed toward the ce where Long Hao Chen formerly disappeared. They werent the only ones astonished, but each of the surrounding passants in the street, shocked by the sight of such a scene, cried out in astonishment. How How could he suddenly disappear? Li Xin reacted, her expression filled with disbelief. Inparison, Caier was fairly calm. Grabbing Li Xins hand, she said, Big Sis shouldnt worry. Just tell me what happened in the end. Regardless of how sharp her five other senses were, since she couldnt see, all she could previously feel was a fantastic fluctuation of spiritual energy that disappeared in a sh, before Li Xin cried out in rm. Li Xin cautiously narrated everything she saw a moment ago, and hearing her words, Caier face suddenly became serious. From her knowledge, she had no idea what could have happened. Big sis, lets do like this, you go back first, and try to wait for Hao Chens return. I will look for my teacher and inquire about this subject, there has to be an exnation. Something must have happened. Okay, please inform me whenever you get some information. From the path she took previously, she already knew where Caier lived. Caier looked currently calm, but deep inside, she wasnt any less anxious than Li Xin. Long Hao CHens disappearance was just too odd a phenomenon. It hadpletely bypassedmon sense. Without returning to her dwelling ce, she rushed with the use of her blue bamboo cane, directly heading to the Alliances office pce. After ten minutes, Caier was finally standing before Ying Suifeng. Ying Suifeng wrinkled his brows, Based on your description, it seems that this fellow was transported by a magical array. Furthermore, it was a transfer initiated by someone else. From there, there are in total three possibilities. First possibility: he was summoned by another living creature that concluded a master-servant agreement with him, making him be his subordinate, and this master needed his help, so he summoned him. Second possibility: he received a powerful curse that forced him back to another space. Third possibility: the life of hispanion, with whom hepleted a pact of equals, has been threatened, so he went to help him. There are other possibilities, but for the time being, the only ones I can think about are these three. And based on the previous situation, he should have been waiting for you, so it is impossible that he used a scroll or something like that to teleport. In addition, he isnt a mage, so it is impossible for him to use spatial magic, so as a result, from my estimate, the most likely exnation is that he was taken away by hispanion linked to him through a pact of equals. Do you happen to know what kind of mountpanion it is? Caier shook her head, looking at a loss, and immediately followed up with another question, Grandpa Yingzi, could it be dangerous? Ying Suifeng revealed a bitter smile and answered, Its hard to say. If he was really called out by his contracted mount, then it depends on how strong this contracted mount is. The more formidable the contracted mount, the more likely hell be to encounter dangers. Conversely, the weaker his mount, the smaller the danger will be. However, this is difficult to predict. Not speaking of you, even a powerhouse with such a cultivation level as me cannot urately tell this, and it is impossible for me to find him. He has likely been teleported to another space. As a result, theres no use for you to be anxious right now, all you can do is to wait, wait for his return. Then, what if he doesnte back? Caiers hands gradually tightened. Ying Fengsui took a deep breath, and calmly said, Then, it will be proof that he died. Caiers body shook before she turned around to leave. Girl, where are you going to go? Ying Suifeng eagerly asked. Caier answered without turning the head, I will be waiting for him at the ce where he disappeared. Its because when hees back, it will definitely be in the ce where he disappeared. Was Long Hao Chen really teleported away? This question didnt even need to be asked. Just like Ying Suifeng predicted, the cause was that he was summoned through his contract with hispanion mount. Graduallying back to his senses, a feel of worry quickly spread to his whole body, and Long Hao Chen looked around. Ke, ke. As soon as he appeared there, Long Hao Chen couldnt help but cough. It was because a single mouthful of the air that filled the atmosphere was already extremely muddy. This air contained a great amount of dirt, in addition to numerous magical essence that spread in it. A single breath of it was what made Long Hao Chen repeatedly cough. He unconsciously released [Divine Light Mantle] with haste, disconnecting himself from the external world. Relying on the use of [Divine Light Mantle] to act as a filter, he breathed in session some purified air, feeling rxed again. _Where are we?_ With a radiance from the forget-me-not ring in Long Hao Chens finger, the Light Sword and the Radiant Shield immediately appeared in his hands. The first thing he had to do when facing a dangerous situation was to stay calm. He immediately made the right move to protect himself. After stabilizing his breath, he discovered that he was located halfway in a mountain, and the next sight he hadpletely shocked him. This world waspletely ck and red. The sky was pitch-ck, and there was no star in it. The atmosphere was full of dark elemental essence and fire elemental essence. There were also other elemental essence, but they were extremely heterogeneous and without equal to the abundant dark and fire elemental essence. As far as his eye could see, on the ground, countless crackles were left, letting an impressive amount of magma intertwine, forming a river. No wonder the temperature was so high. Although Long Hao Chen was still in shock, he was alsopletely alert. _How did I arrive there?_ Unconsciously, he felt a scorching heating from his forehead At this very moment, a familiar shout was resounding in his heart. Long Hao Chen waspletely shaken, and involuntarily let these words slip out, Hao Yue. He suddenly turned around. From there, he saw at his back a cave that didnt seem very wide. Inside, a faint brilliance was emitted, faintly discernible from his point of view. Thats right, it was Hao Yues aura. Long Hao Chen was finally sober after having been so suddenly teleported, and after covering himself once again in [Divine Light Mantle], he quickly headed to the cave. This cave wasnt deep at all, and quickly, he found Hao Yue. But Hao Yues current appearance left Long Hao Chen bbergasted. Hao Yue had crept inside; his breath appeared to be very feeble. Little Light and Little Fire were bent down on the ground, and his body had grown a lotrger than when they parted. On his neck, the bulge that was previously there had grown a lotrger. However, the scales on Hao Yues body had at least ten crackles, and vague purple-colored bloodstains were left. The most mysterious thing was that on his body, from the outside to the inside,yer afteryer of blue light was uninterruptedly shing. It seemed that once every three breaths he took, this light would twinkle once. Hao Yue, how are you doing? Without the slightest hesitation, Long Hao Chen released a [Holy Mantle] to cover Hao Yues body. The gold light brought by [Holy Mantle] continuously healed the wounds on Hao Yues body. Hao Yue recovered his consciousness, and Little Light as well as Little Fire lifted up their heads with difficulty, looking at Long Hao Chen, transmitting a series of informations to him through his thoughts Hao Yue didnt exin how he became in this state, but only told Long Hao Chen that this was his original world, that he was currently evolving and that he was on the edge of aplishing thest breakthrough. And at this moment, he was at his weakest state, and needed Long Hao Chens protection. As long as he couldplete his evolution, he could return together with Long Hao Chen to Shengmo Dalu. Hao Yue, evolve at ease. I will be your protector. Long Hao Chen said this without the slightest hesitation, before releasing another [Holy Mantle] to keep healing him, before turning around and leaving the cave, about to guard the cave mouth. This was another world, and there was nothing he knew about it. It was impossible to say that there wasnt the slightest fear in his heart, but to Long Hao Chen, the most important was Hao Yues safety. After all, Hao Yue was his little brother; each of them had the blood of the other one flowing in them. If this wasnt an extremely dangerous situation, why would Hao Yue have forcefully summoned him? 1. more precisely dont know whether tough or to cry Chapter 116 - Hao Yue’s Evolution: Third Head! (I)

Chapter 116: Hao Yues Evolution: Third Head! (I)

Long Hao Chen was seated cross legged on the ground and, as before, using [Divine Light Mantle] to protect his body. Isted from the external worlds harmful air, he took breath after breath of filtered air filled with light elemental essence. To Long Hao Chen, this world wasnt any kind of good ce because the light elemental essence was present in such a small proportion. It did not hold even 1% of the quantity of light essence in Shengmo Dalu. He had to unceasingly filter the surrounding air from the heterogeneous essence filled with magic power, to finally inhale it safely. Long Hao Chen took out two bottles from his bosom. The first one contained the pill that could restore 200 units of spiritual energy, that Long Hao Chen named the Restoring Spiritual Pill. The ones contained in the other bottle could instantly arouse his potential and increase his physical strength by 20% for 30 seconds. After use, 12 hours had to pass before taking another Bursting Spiritual Pill. In this ce with a greatck of light elemental essence to absorb, one could well imagine the utility these two pills would have. Calmly standing in the cave, Long Hao Chen began to feel everything around him, cautiously, uninterruptedly gazing at the four directions. But at this moment, suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy undted, creating mysterious ripples made of spiritual energy in the air. A drizzling purple-colored ring scattered in the next instant, not only spreading throughout the whole cave, but going as far as to spread to the surrounding rocks and the rest of the air of the external world. _Hao Yue is breaking through!_ Long Hao Chen felt nervous, because Hao Yue told him previously that in case he were to break through thest bottleneck, the aura released by his body would be likely to attract powerful magical beasts. This was the most dangerous stage of his evolution. As soon as this purple-colored aura appeared, Long Hao Chen suddenly felt to his astonishment that a scorching feeling reached his very own body. Lowering his head, he took a look and saw that the veins behind his own skin turned into a faint purple color. An immense force was uninterruptedly filling his own body, continuously strengthening his physical body. All Long Hao Chen could feel was that his own external spiritual energy was boiling, and in a strengthening process. Moving his body around, he felt that his strength had tremendously increased. _Hao Yues evolution also has an effect on the cultivation of my own external spiritual energy?_ Long Hao Chen calmly pondered what was happening to him. Without the slightest doubt, this promotion was due to the blood contract. He and Hao Yue had some blood of the other in their own body, so in addition to their regr contracts uses, it implied that their blood vessels were genuinely interlinked. As a result, when Long Hao Chen increases his cultivation level through his training, Hao Yue could benefit from it to some extent. Simrly, when Hao Yue evolved, Long Hao Chen could feel an enhancement to his own body as well. Apparently, at that time, when Hao Yue had an abnormal thirst for that stone orb, it was because he needed it to make his body evolve. Right when Long Hao Chen was in the middle of his thoughts, suddenly, he felt that in the air, the numerous magical elemental essences turned frantic. In particr, the dark elemental essence, just as it was flowing out from the gxy, frantically headed towards the inside of the cave at his back. No matter how frantic this elemental spiritual energy was, it seemed to have a single target this time, the cave at his back. Long Hao Chen could vaguely see that a spiral shaped ck cloud had started to form, attracted by this cave, sucking in all the surrounding elemental spiritual energy. Such a huge activity, its no wonder that Hao Yue was worried about magical beastsing to attack. Long Hao Chen was even more on the alert as he observed his surroundings. What he didnt realize was that on his forehead, the mark of contract had appeared once again. This mark was formed of a total of nine purple-colored veined patterns. Among these nine original veined patterns, the first two were bright; in this moment, a third rune started to brighten as well. After breaking through the third step, to keep advancing, what practitioners of all vocations needed was internal spiritual energy. No matter how the external spiritual energy increased, it didnt affect the advancement of the vocation. In other words, even if your external spiritual energy reached 2000, as long as your internal spiritual energy didnt reach 2000, there was no way for you to break through the fifth step. Long Hao Chen felt an intense and warm power constantly rising in him, but he didnt know which level his external spiritual energy had reached. Nevertheless, in his chest, the golden drops of liquid surrounding his Saint Spiritual Stove were unceasingly revolving, not showing the slightest change. It was the symbol of the barely reached level of having liquid spiritual energy, as well as having entered the fifth step. After entering the fifth step, Long Hao Chen clearly discovered that his cultivation speed had lowered by a wide margin. To gain a spiritual energy level, he needed to spend at least ten times more effort than in the past. After a day of bitter training, the limit of what he could gain was at most one or two spiritual energy levels. Even as a knight, what he had no way of knowing was that if he told others about his cultivation speed, it would absolutely shock anyone. After breaking through the fifth step, who would imagine that someone who could raise his spiritual energy level every day could exist? If everyone had this ability, then only by continuing to cultivate, everyone would sooner orter break through to the sixth step. Together with the enhancement of his physical strength, Long Hao Chen could even more visibly benefit from his advantageous physique of a Scion of Light. To any vocation, the fifth step was the threshold to the appetion of powerhouse. However, to be considered as a real powerhouse, one needed to step across the threshold of the sixth step. This was because, it was only when the sixth step was reached, that the might of the liquid spiritual energy would reallye out; it was the key to the spiritual might, enabling the speed of cultivation of the liquid spiritual energy to really elerate. _ANG-DANG!_ A fierce rumbling sound reached Long Hao Chens consciousness, making him lift up his head to look towards the bottom of the mountain As soon as he saw what was at the bottom of the mountain, he instantly gasped in astonishment. What he saw was a human skeleton; a wide, very wide human skeleton, advancing at great speed toward the top of this mountain. The previous rumbling sound wasing from one of its bones carelessly smashing a huge rock. There were countless skeletonsing. It was impossible to discern just how many there were with the naked eye, all covered in ck and different in height; however, they were all human-shaped. They quickly climbed up the mountain, with only the cave behind Long Hao Chen as their goal. Taking a deep breath, Long Hao Chen took half a pace back, blocking the cave entrance. Thus, he would not have to face opponents from many directions at once, and only needed to face those at the front. Without time to think about the reason why so many skeletons wereing, the only thing he could do was to resist the skeletons advance, giving Hao Yue enough time to finish his evolution. Inside the cave, Hao Yue was trembling violently, his scales already splitting open: the effects of [Holy Mantle] from before were already disappearing. But no matter whether it was Little Light or Little Fire, they were both biting the bullet, refraining to scream, because they didnt want to disturb Long Hao Chen with their cries. The bulge on Hao Yues third neck protruded outwards, and Little Light as well as Little Fires neck was growing, brilliant green light unceasingly glittering on top. Despite Hao Yues body being badly mangled, purple stripes of light were slowly appearing on his body. Large amounts of spiritual energy were violently pouring into his body from the outside. Crackling sounds and growth was happening all over his body, and that mangled piece of flesh was continuously expanding, causing him to grit his teeth. The unstable spiritual energy in his body frantically wreaked havoc in him. An ancient and deste terrifying aura was emitted from his body, as Little Light and Little mes eyes once again turned purple-colored, appearing heartless and ice-cold, emitting a monstrous presence. His mutted body was also undergoing an uninterrupted process of expansion. _Bang._ Long Hao Chen leaned slightly on the Radiant Shield on his left hand, sweeping away a ck skeleton with one strike, and with the Light Sword on his other hand, he struck a skeleton right in the stomach. Drawing closer, Long Hao Chen further understood the terrifying aspect of these skeletons. Although only bones remained of them, these bones were as hard as steel, and their strength was equal to that of ten men. Their eye sockets also contained a dimly lit me. As he kept immersing himself in battle with these skeletons, Long Hao Chen discovered their bones were not originally ck in colour. Their bones had that colour because of the sheen given off by being covered in a spiritual energy of the dark attribute. With unceasing violence, they continued to attack. Long Hao Chen right now rejoiced at the fact that he had the holy attribute. Although these ck skeletons bodies were incredibly tough, when the holy essenceing from his Light Sword and Radiant Shieldnded on the skeletons bodies, they were clearly very fearful of it. Immediately, there would be white smokeing from where they were hit. Obviously, light elemental essence had a very strong restraining effect on the ck skeletons. _Snap._ [Light Thrust] was released. Three skeletons were immediately struck down by Long Hao Chen, obstructing the advance of further skeletons. After obtaining liquid spiritual energy, there was a clear increase of strength in all of his abilities. Taking a short breath, Long Hao Chen consumed a Restoring Spiritual Pill. His consumption of spiritual energy was not thatrge, but in the current situation, how could he dare to wait until his spiritual energy waspletely exhausted before replenishing it? Maintaining the optimal amount of spiritual energy was the best choice here. In front of thisrge skeleton army, he was not using too many abilities, preserving his spiritual energy as much as possible. It was certainly not some one on one battle nor some sort ofpetition, it was a life and death situation. If he was even a little bit careless, he could be stuck in this world forever. One skeleton after another fell, and even though Long Hao Chen could hold against ten thousand of these skeletons, there were simply too many skeletonsing at him. He could not even see a shred of hope. In light of this battle, Long Hao Chen gradually discovered the advantages of being a Guardian Knight. Even though Retribution Knights had more tyrannical attack power, in a sustained battled, a Retribution Knight simply couldnt measure up to a Guardian Knight in terms of endurance. After using several guardian knight abilities to enhance himself, Long Hao Chen only used a little spiritual energy every time he took down a skeleton. Also, his objective wasnt to annihte the entire skeleton army, since it was simply impossible to do so. He only needed to buy enough time for Hao Yue. The greatest weakness of these ck skeletons was that they were dumb and could not use any abilities. They only knew how to advance forward. In this situation, Long Hao Chen used his advantageous terrain as well as his Restoring Spiritual Pills to prolong the battle. Chapter 117 - Hao Yue’s Evolution: Third Head! (II)

Chapter 117: Hao Yues Evolution: Third Head! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A gold-colored mantle slowly rose up, wrapping Long Hao Chen inside. With this dense light surrounding him, he could recover a bit of spiritual energy. More importantly, inside of this [Holy Mantle], those skeletons did not dare advance. As soon as they even touched [Holy Mantle], the ck-colored sheen on their bodies would immediately melt. Long Hao Chen took several deep breaths. Two hours had passed. He had been there for exactly two hours. Both of his arms were too sore for him to lift at this point, so he had to constantly urge himself to muster up more internal spiritual energy. He had already consumed six Restoring Spiritual Pills, but in these kinds of prolonged battles, it was not just spiritual energy that was consumed. The burden on the body as well as the heart were all important factors. Visibly, the burden on his arms had be greater and the skeletons attacks were bing fiercer and fiercer. Long Hao Chen had no choice but to activate [Holy Mantle] from his Divine Wristband. Ye Hua had given him a Divine Wristband that could activate [Holy Mantle] three times a day. Not only did the activation require no spiritual energy, it also partially restored his own spiritual energy and aided in the recovery of his body. Long Hao Chens body state suddenly improved. The purple air behind him grew more and more prominent; he could even faintly hear Hao Yues heavy breathing. _Hold on, I must hold on._ Long Hao Chen secretlymanded himself. No matter what, he had to block these skeletons, for Hao Yues sake. Right before the effects of [Holy Mantle] dissipated, suddenly, a mournful bellow sounded. The unceasing skeleton army suddenly stopped and moved aside. A silhouette slowly appeared in the distance. _Humans, how did humans appear in our dark and fiery world. Do you know what kind of being you are protecting?_ An old voice brimming with confidence and oppressing force said. Under this oppressive force, Long Hao Chen immediately shivered. Once again, he activated [Holy Mantle], before taking another Restoring Spiritual Pill. What appeared out of the silhouette was an elderly figure, tan in colour, in tattered clothing, wearing a witheredplexion, but without even a sign of health, and disheveled yellow hair that had long lost their luster. His right hand was holding a staff made of bone, as he was walking on a ck cloud. His eyes were not visible, because where they were supposed to be, there were instead two mes. _What a surprise, this creature knows human speech?_ Long Hao Chen surprisingly thought and tensed up further. The one I am protecting is my friend and partner. The elderly figure coldly said, No, what you are protecting is the reincarnation of the devil, the creator of our dark and fiery world. His existence is precisely the reason why our world is like this. Our world is broken down and magma is flowing through the Earth. Countless species became extinct all because of him. The strong have already escaped, the less fortunate all became undead, and now, only the undead can exist in this ursed world. I do not know how you came here, but your holy aura disgusts me and your actions anger me even more. I will give you one more chance to return to your world right now. Now that the devil, Austin Griffin, appeared in my territory, even if I am just a lich, I must kill him. Otherwise, who knows what other miseries his restoration will bring to our world? Long Hao Chen doubtfully looked at the elder lich; he did not quite understand what the lich implied. However, ording to him, Hao Yue was very dangerous, to the extent that the main cause of the destruction of this world was him. Hao Yue is my friend, my partner. There is no one I trust more than him. Long Hao Chen said. Why would he trust in a lich, a lich who leads a gigantic skeleton army? In his capacity as a holy knight, the undead was the most natural enemy. The lich coldly said, Since this is your answer, you shalt be buried here because of Austin Griffin. As the bone staff in hand pointed toward Long Hao Chen, suddenly, a sharp and deathly whistle sounded. Long Hao Chens entire body trembled slightly, his blood boiling at the sound of the whistle as he suddenly felt very dizzy and almost started losing consciousness. Unable to conserve his spiritual energy, he rapidly lifted up his Radiant Shield, simultaneously using [Guardian Favor] and [Faith Halo] to cover his own body. In this situation, Radiant Shield was also able to dispel the negative effects to some extent, especially effective against undead magic. [Guardians Favor] and [Faith Halo] were both support skills that used the light attribute to provide defense, and also had the effect of protecting him from various negative skill effects. As a result, the effects of the deathly whistle were reduced. Long Hao Chens mind cleared up, as he lifted up his Light Sword decisively. Gold colored liquid spiritual energy poured out from his hands, and entered his Light Sword. Light Swords mild gold color was gradually being reced by a sacred white color, it was [Holy Sword]. Looking at the resplendent holy light in the Light Sword, the elderly lich clearly showed fear in his ghastly eyes. Honestly, his n was to bluff Long Hao Chen through his words, precisely because he was fearful of Long Hao Chens holy attribute. A long string of incantations came out of his mouth, as he pointed his bone staff to the ground, from where countless skeletons broke down. Those ck skeletons fused together at a breakneck pace and gradually took the shape of a muchrger skeleton. Skeleton King! A tyrannical undead summon,ing from the formidable fusion of several undead. With its height of 6.5m and a 3.3m bone de in his right hand, it ferociously leapt straight for where Long Hao Chen was standing and hacked at the cave. Not good. Long Hao Chen no longer dared to guard the cave entrance: all the hacking the Skeleton King was doing to the cave entrance could cause a cave-in and bury him alive. [Charge], stopping the charge, [Divine Obstruction]. Long Hao Chen acted extremely quickly,pletely blocking the ck bone de with his Radiant Shield. A loud explosion sounded. Long Hao Chen felt that in this instant, his entire body was about to shatter, his innards about to explode, as the tyrannical strike almost split the Radiant Shield. A very powerful force. Even under the effects of [Divine Obstruction], Long Hao Chens seven apertures had been injured; this was how tyrannical the force of this Skeleton King indeed was. The ground under him had been split. If not for the fact that he had reached the fifth step and Hao Yues evolution had brought a synchronized evolution to his own body, there was no way that he could possibly stand after this blow. [Holy Mantle]. Long Hao Chen immediately activated the second use of the Divine Wristbands [Holy Mantle], and consumed a Bursting Spiritual Pill at the same time. Jumping in the middle of air, as he put the Radiant Shield in his hand away, his me Sword appeared. He took the two swords in his hands, and used the force of [Divine Obstruction]bined with [Bright Vengeance] in a split second. After vaulting, he immediately arrived in front of this Skeleton King. In regards to the [Holy Mantle] surrounding Long Hao Chens body, even this Skeleton King felt some fear. This attribute was his innate weak point, dying even his movements. In his left hand, the me Sword moved, and with a [Light Thorn], a ming golden radiance ruthlessly struck the body of the Skeleton King. RAAAWR The Skeleton King bellowed, raising his body. To him, the power of this [Light Thrust] in itself was no big deal, but the most frightening thing was the supplementary holy property it had, concentrated in its incandescent body, bringing him an intense pain. The ghastly eyed lich suddenly leapt in the air, brandishing its bone staff, and a great army of skeletons suddenly headed towards the cave, aiming to go around Long Hao Chen, and it simultaneously released a dark wave of radiance from his staff, falling onto the Skeleton King. Immediately, the bones of the Skeleton King turned even darker, vaguely releasing a fluorescentyer of light. His tyrannical aura left Long Hao Chen at a standstill. _BangC_ A ck bone de ruthlessly hacked at the ground. Long Hao Chen used his me Sword, unleashing its power and sweeping this de away, but he was pushed back on the side by the enormous power of this ck bone sword. As his whole body was immediately sent rolling on the ground, before raising like a bullet, he shouted out loudly, You and I shall stake everything! In midair, the withered undead face looked disdainfully at him. Although the supplementary attribute of this humans body was extremely terrifying to him, he was in the end far from being powerful enough. He wasnt even a threat to him. The Skeleton King was really too powerful. Right before its attacksnded, Long Hao Chen could only think about how to dodge them: he did not dare try to sh head on with him once again. And when his attacks fell on the body of this Skeleton King, the holy attribute, the only thing that could possibly injure him to death, had a sure effect. But with the lich nursing him nearby, he had basically no way at all to bring substantial damage upon him. More importantly, Long Hao Chen had just seen skeletons enter the cave, bringing huge changes to hisplexion. Unceasingly being engaged by the Skeleton King, the huge power of his blows prevented him from stopping them. The lich had already stopped looking at Long Hao Chen, it was only a matter of time before he would end up killed by this Skeleton King. His gaze was focused on the entrance of this cave. His ghastly eyes jumped up, revealing a nervous and somewhat restless state of mind. This was, after all, Austin Griffin! Would he really have the strength necessary to kill him? _If I could really kill him and absorb his blood vessels, then, how powerful will I be? Could I be the next Austin Griffin? At that time, I will perhaps be able to rely on my willpower to ovee it._ As this lich was nervously pondering on whether he really wanted to enter this cave or not, suddenly, a violent attractive force pulled his body, which was in midair, making him fall directly down on the middle of the mountain. _What? How could that happen?_ The lich was greatly rmed, unconsciously looking at its own body. Immediately, he discovered that, without prior notice, a white glow without the least bit of energy concentrated in it had entered his own body. This white glow looked quite soft at first nce, but its attractive force was extremely great. The lich used its undead magic tomand his army, but in the end, it was a creature relying on magic, and as such, its body was quite weak. Facing such attractive force, it could barely rely on the energy in his body, and it had no possibility to struggle free from it. Chapter 118 - Hao Yue’s Evolution, Third Head! (III)

Chapter 118: Hao Yues Evolution, Third Head! (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A moss-green-colored radiance instantly surged out of the shroud as the lich attempted to use undead magic to free its body from the strange energy wrapping it. Unfortunately, its hopes were crushed. That soft-looking milky-white energy didnt seem to show the slightest reaction to its undead magic. _Bang._ The ck bone de of this Skeleton King hacked toward the ground once again, but this time, it went past Long Hao Chens body, almost hitting him. The golden armor covering Long Hao Chens body burst out, emitting itsst golden radiance, as he took it outpletely. Actually, that corpse-pulling white-colored radiance wasing directly from Long Hao Chens chest. And precisely because of the moment of pause that urred when he produced it, he was close from being crushed by the Skeleton King. The lich looked once again toward Long Hao Chen, its face disying a bit of anxiety; or was it fear and anger? What came from its extremely calm face was a calm and collected look filled with an intense murderous intent. Not good. An intense fear instantly reached Long Hao Chens mind, But it shouldnt currently be able to attack freely. Two strong golden lights burst out from Long Hao Chens body in session. From the Divine Light Wristguard, the third [Holy Mantle] was activated. In addition, he stuck the me Sword in the ground, releasing a [Heavenly Battle Array] and forcefully stopping the Skeleton Kings next attack. A strong holy property was being released, going as far as to make the nearby Skeleton King stumble. And Long Hao Chen hadnt used the Light Sword in his right hand to attack yet. [Last Gambit], skill of Retribution Knights of the fifth step. [Holy Sword], skill of Retribution Knights of the fifth step. [Holy Sword] was something he had prepared a long time ago, and [Last Gambit] was something he unlocked after having reached the fifth step of cultivation, as his breakthrough broke another seal of his Inheritance Ring. The Light Sword turned into a glittering white light, directly aiming for the lich. No! The lich mournfully bellowed, an intense dark green radiance erupting from him, attempting to stop this radiant [Holy Sword]. Only, the sacred holy attribute was too strong against the undead. With his [Holy Sword] prepared through the use of [Storing Power] for a long time, and with the addition of his Bursting Spiritual Pill that strengthened the explosive power of his [Holy Sword], how could this attack of his be so easy to stop? If both sides were more than 25 meters from each other, this attack from Long Hao Chen couldnt possibly be enough to harm its life. However, their current distance was even closer than 10 meters apart. [Holy Sword] in the state of [Last Gambit] in this situation was indeed so fast that it could be said that it did not give the lich the slightest opportunity to unleash its formidable defensive spells. _Bang._ [Holy Sword] was instantly connected, passing through the lichs dark green protective screen, with a doubled efficacying from thebination of [Last Gambit] and [Holy Sword]. This blow had already the formidable might of an attacking from a Radiant Knight. A pure and holy light shone upon his chest, making the nearby lich seemingly freeze. The current Long Hao Chen was going all out, and after making use of [Last Gambit], his body was alreadypletely limp. The lichs ck bones looked just like an apparition of death suddenly emerging. His eyes, staring at Long Hao Chen were seemingly losing all resolution. ۷ȡ _Pfutuft_ The body of the Skeleton King suddenly became stiff, just as the bone de was drawing extremely near to Long Hao Chen. As its enormous body suddenly copsed, countless dried bones dropped, a lot of them smashing on Long Hao Chens body. Those skeletons which had charged within the cave had already turned motionless, one after another, turning into dried-up bones. A faint smile was drawn on Long Hao Chens lips as the armor before him shatteredpletely. The collision of these crumbled bones on his body hurt a lot, but it didnt truly injure him. Sess! Long Hao Chen ruthlessly clenched his fists, despite the fact that his body was currently in a very bad condition and feeling very weak. The aftereffects of the Bursting Spiritual Pill gradually started to appear, stimting his spirit to a great extent. Long Hao Chen wasnt the slightest bit familiar with undead life forms, but his mental capacity which was so different from ordinary peoples gave him an exceedingly high sense of observation. No matter whether it was about the lich or the Skeleton King, they were both clearly above Long Hao Chen in terms of strength. Long Hao Chen was supposed to have no way to withstand the attacks of either of them. However, strength wasnt a factor of sure victory. Long Hao Chen had just inferred the meaning of the ssical case of war called to win from a position of weakness. And as soon as this lich appeared, Long Hao Chen had clearly felt its simrity to these skeletons; he was afraid of his holy attribute. Otherwise, it would simply have needed to kill him directly to deal with everything; was there a need to spare efforts? Furthermore, when that lich king summoned this Skeleton King, it revealed its identity as an undead. For sure, this undead army had been summoned by this lich, otherwise, they couldnt have fused together into a formidable Skeleton King. This information appeared useless at first nce, but for the contemtive Long Hao Chen, it was a clear-cut way out of this certain death situation. In other words, he only had to kill the lich and the summoning would end together with its life. At first, he had to show weakness; for that purpose when he blocked the Skeleton King for the first time, although he used [Divine Obstruction], he did not use [Leaned Shield Unloading Power]. It was to test the Skeleton Kings power as well as to paralyze the lich. Once again, this proved that the Skeleton Kings strength was much greater than he originally thought, injuring him right away. Long Hao Chen did not fret; at least, he blocked it. If he had not been able to do that, there wasnt the slightest chance for his n to work. Afterwards, he was constantly shifting around, dodging the Skeleton Kings strikes with great difficulty as he didnt dare to take them head on, but in fact, from beginning to end, he was advancing towards the lich in the middle of the mountain. After hepleted the evolution of his Saint Spiritual Stove, not only did the range of it increase from 25 to 50 meters, it could also attract the attention of two enemies instead of one. More importantly, it gained another special ability, [Pull]. [Attraction] attracted the enemys attention, but [Pull] pulled the enemy towards him. The effect of the Saint Spiritual Stoves ability [Pull] was akin to Long Hao Chen using his full strength to personally pull the target. This skill was purely defensive, and didnt hold any attack power. However, it was extremely practical, with an effect equivalent to what would have happened if he gained an invisible rope, able to pull anything. [Pull] had a small range of 25 metres, and was able to aim at a single target. As the lich was in midair, Long Hao Chen continuously tried to approach it, for the precise reason being that his Saint Spiritual Stove contained this mysterious ability. He had also never revealed the true power of his Light Sword. In the end, the Lichs underestimation of Long Hao Chens abilities cost him his life. Compared to the cunning humans, the lich was really simple-minded. Long Hao Chens Saint Spiritual Stove changed the face of the battlepletely. The mes in the lichs eyes gradually dimmed. It took a look at the hole in its stomach and then looked at Long Hao Chen on the ground. Suddenly he let out a screech. He was unable to ept the reality of the situation. No.., now that the sealing pirs are already gone, dont tell me that Austin will once again descend upon us after his six previous reincarnations? My masters from the undead world, why is it that you havent arrived yet?! Destroy him, destroy him, quick Apanying its cries, the Light Swords holy light had already spread through its body. White cracks of light appeared all over and eventually before exploding, and finally condensing, intensely lighting up this dark and gloomy world. Long Hao Chenid on the ground, breathing heavily, intense fatigue rushing into his head. Despite the bacsh not being as heavy as using [Sacrifice], with the Bursting Spiritual Pill increasing his overall battle strength by 20%, at this moment the side-effects were not light. The lich and his skeleton army fell; however, now was not the time to rx. Long Hao Chen once again consumed a Restoring Spiritual Pill, striving to restore even a little bit of spiritual energy. At this moment, a muffled cry sounded, and it was immediately followed by mixed shouting; after that the muffled cry sounded again. Afterwards, a third cry resounded. Despite clearly being somewhat weak, it was no less dignified than the previous two. Hearing this muffled cry, Long Hao Chen was surprised, because the sound came from inside the cave. A heartwarming feeling came from within Long Hao Chen as he suddenly felt that his strength returned. Looking down, he discovered to his astonishment that brilliant purple lines had appeared all over his body, which were his own meridians alight. No matter if his veins size could be considered as average or slim, they were currently all shing with a purple color. A formidable force could be unceasingly felt, appearing before his eyes and reinforcing his muscles power, contrasting with his currently weakened internal spiritual energy. Once again, the yelling cry sounded, but this time it was much stronger than the previous three. A silhouette appeared from within the cave. Without Long Hao Chen even seeing it clearly, it already appeared beside him. Golden light shed and gentle light elemental essence wrapped around Long Hao Chens body. Immediately, Long Hao Chen felt lighter, and a fiery feeling appeared on his forehead. The surroundings were all lit with a mysterious light. He once again entered into a transient state. In this dark and fiery world, a purple light glittered, space opened, and with a sh of light, the purple light disappeared immediately. In the next second, a cold cry suddenly sounded, _Austin Griffin.._ This sound was very sharp. The moment it appeared, the ck sky turned grey all of a sudden. Theva on the earth all dried up, and the temperature dropped drastically. _We have arrivedte._ A low bellow sounded,rge pieces of ck silhouette slowly closed in, and an enormous figure emerged out of the shadows. The figure was of a bone dragonrger than 30 metres in length. The skull of the bone dragon had a strange light blue colour; the body was white, but there was certainly a blue light brandishing its entire body. Under itsrge wings, there appeared to be ayer of skin. This bone dragon was surrounded by sticky ck miasma that slowly spread outwards. Chapter 119 - Three-Headed Hao Yue (I)

Chapter 119: Three-Headed Hao Yue (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Inside the eye sockets of the bone dragon, brilliant blue mes were lit. Just by its tyrannical aura, this dragon couldparably be of the ninth step. On the back of the bone dragon, there was a male d in ck armor. The figure was over 2.5 metres tall and it sat patiently at the base of the dragons neck. On its right hand, there was ance that might be longer than its wielder, covered in dazzling purple. The boundless grey sky suddenly split open, and a graceful figure appeared, its body was shrouded inside a ck mantle. Although the figure was barely visible, two scarlet mes were moving on its head. _Thats right, we arete. Although we came as soon as we obtained information from that lich, in the end, we are stillte._ The one this sharp voice belonged to was precisely that master. A year ago, when we discovered Austin Griffin, he had just been reincarnated. To hide from our attempts to kill him, he used an innate ability enabling him to be extremely weak, lowering to a great extent his evolving speed. However, after such a small duration, how could his third head already be born? ording to this terrifying evolution speed, I am afraid that before a hundred years pass, the cmity that urred at that time will descend once again. Undead Abdicator Knight, do you have a method to find him? The Undead Abdicator Knight coldly answered, If you, in your capacity as the Lich King, are unable to find him, how can I? Austin Griffin has already changed locations. But every time he wants to evolve, he will be bound to return to this world where he was born. We can only wait for the next opportunity now. The Lich King coldly spoke back, What are the others doing? Can it be that they believe that this Austin Griffin will be as easy for us to deal with as its six previous reincarnations? His third head has already grown, he is already bing harder and harder to deal with. We will have to convene the Undead Monarchs General Assembly. Afterbining our forces, I believe that welle up with a solution. All right. About this matter, you and I hold the same point of view. In those days, at the moment Austin Griffin broke the seal pirs, cmity fell upon mother earth, the skies copsed, and everything died. Relying on his strength at the heavenly step, he can at most reincarnate nine times. As long as we can destroy him this time, and persist for 2000 years, he will be left with no means to descend to this world ever again. The Lich King said, somewhat astonished, I didnt expect the cold and indifferent you to be also afraid of destion. Can it be that youre not afraid? The Undead Abdicator Knight snorted coldly, as the enormous bone dragon he was riding turned around. Then, a rich ck-color was released all around it, and in the next instant, he disappearedpletely. The Lich King was currently in the cave where Hao Yue had previously been, coldly looking around. In the next instant, an enormous purple blister appeared there, and instantly, the whole mountain peak melted. The Lich Kings body also disappeared in the air, fading away and leaving only gray ashes behind. The steady and determined Long Hao Chen had his bodypletely shaken. Unconsciously looking forward, he discovered that the purple color under his skin suddenly disappeared, leaving no traces in his body. And the aftereffects of the Bursting Spiritual Pill seemed to havepletely disappeared with it, even though 12 hours were far from having passed from the time he took it. The surrounding purple color quietly weakened, as Long Hao Chen discovered, to his astonishment, that around him was a pitch ckndscape, seemingly familiar. What was this ce? Hao Chen. A familiar voice shouted his name, and immediately, Long Hao Chen recognized two familiar silhouettes. Du, du, du. Li Xin and Caier, who was moving with Li Xins support, ran to his side from a nearby ce. Long Hao Chen immediately reacted. He had alreadye back to Holy City, and as he lowered his head, he could instantly see a huge fellow that was crawling under him, looking at Caier somewhat vigntly. This This is Hao Yue? Instantly, Long Hao Chen felt a bit listless. What was crawling below Long Hao Chen could only be called a huge fellow. With its four thick and sturdy limbs, a height that exceeded 4 meters, it could only be categorized as a lot more robust than the former Hao Yue. If the former Hao Yue could only be called a huge lizard, then, this one could be called a huge crocodile. Furthermore, he had a third head. Thats right, its precisely a third head. Aside from Little Light and Little me, Long Hao Chen could also see another head that was green-colored. Just like Little Light and Little me, his look when gazing at Long Hao Chen was brimming with affection. Seeing that Long Hao Chen was looking at them, the three huge heads immediately gathered together, rubbing against Long Hao Chens body. Hao Yue, its all right. Caier is my friend. Long Hao Chen couldnt fail to discern the change in Hao Yues expression. As he hurried to take two steps forward, he gave an ashamed look to Caier who was standing before him. Caier, Im sorry. I I missed our appointment once again. He didnt try toe up with an excuse. It was alreadyte, so clearly, Caier and Li Xin had been waiting for his return in this ce all along. Long Hao Chen feltfortably warm in his heart. His look was quite cordial, and these feelings of concern were undoubtedly something he longed for. Caier didnt rebuke him. Subconsciously holding one of his hands, she transmitted to his body a gentle wave of spiritual energy. Long Hao Chen didnt guard the slightest bit against Caier, as he simultaneously used his second hand to pat Hao Yues big head that had juste out. Caier said in a neutral tone, Fortunately, you are not wounded. However, how could the consumption of your spiritual energy be so huge, are you alright? She couldnt see Long Hao Chens current facial expression, but through observing his breath, she could determine that there wasnt any big problem: he only suffered a few light injuries. Long Hao Chen answered, Im all right. Hao Yue happened to be in a little danger, so I went to help him. Caier, I Caier lightly shook her head, Its nothing, I dont me you. The fact you came back safe and sound is enough. From her point of view, magical beastpanions were only beingsing from some random mountain, so in regard to the kind of enemy Long Hao Chen could have run across when being summoned, she didnt think too much. But unexpectedly, Li Xin was on the contrary full of doubts, Hao Chen, is this Hao Yue? How could he be so huge, wah, and theres another head. What a surprise! Long Hao Chen made a silent gesture directed at her,saying in a low voice, Hao Yue has most likely evolved. Lets go, its already sote, we should go back first before talking about this. Long Hao Chen was safe and well, and Caier was finally relieved. Li Xin and Long Hao Chen went to see her off before taking Hao Yue to return to their hotel. The bedroom wasnt too big, so as soon as Hao Yue, with his tremendously bigger body, crawled in the room, it appeared a lot smaller; but whatever he was told, he was unwilling to sleep outside. The third big head was only nagging Long Hao Chen, his eyes full of appreciation and affection. It was just like a child who was getting close to his own father. Okay, okay. Isnt it natural that I went to your rescue when you faced some dangers? Theres no need for you to be so reserved. Long Hao Chen gently caressed Hao Yues third head, and had a smile on his face. Despite the fact that he had faced the lich and his skeleton army in the previous fight, and his heart was beating a lot faster all along and until now, he didnt regret anything in the slightest. He was a Guardian Knight, Hao Yue was a dear person to him, so he naturally had to protect him well. Long Hao Chen was still sometimes carefully watching Hao Yues appearance after his evolution. It could be said that Hao Yues whole body had evolved. His body was two times taller, and had be a lot sturdier. His body only, when sitting straight, was already nearly 1.5 meters tall, with his four robusts limbs, his sharp ws, raising his three huge heads, he looked rather impressive. The scales covering his body had also evolved. Each of them appeared oval, but on them, there was another bulge, covering these scales that appeared thick and firm. He was stillpletely ck, but under the illumination from the external world, a faint trace of purple color could be discerned. On his back, the protruding bone already had a big volume, and appeared to make him look evenrger. The most evident change on Hao Yue was in his three heads. Clearly, on the two sides of his heads appeared some other bulges that seemed connected to each other. However, these bulges werent too distinct, but their eyes changed a lot, the side of their mouth appeared rounder and sharper than in the past. More importantly, his heads had be at least twice asrge. Because of the bonds of the blood contract between them, Long Hao Chen could clearly feel that Hao Yue was a lot more powerful than in the past. If Long Hao Chen were to be up against him, even with his current force, he was afraid that he wouldnt necessarily win. He had clearly entered the boundary of the sixth step as a magical beast! Wasnt this kind of evolution too frightening? From the time of Long Hao Chens contract with Hao Yue to now, an entire year had not passed yet. His first evolution was because of Long Hao Chens blood and his second evolution was something he provoked himself. It should have a rtion with the stone orb he had eaten. This wasnt the crucial point. The crucial point was that every time Hao Yue evolved, his strength would grow substantially. Growing a second head made him turn into a beast of the fourth step from the second step, and this third head that had now appeared had made him change from the fourth step to the sixth step. No matter if it was from his father or his teacher, Long Hao Chen had never heard of a kind of magical beast that could evolve in such a way, and so rapidly. In addition, Long Hao Chen found out to his astonishment that near his neck, next to the green-looking neck, there was, as before, another bulge. From the other side, at Little Fires side there was also another bulge. In other words, after this evolution, two bulges had grown on the side of his necks. Could it be that he would sprout out two other heads? If it was the case, what level would he reach at that moment? In regard to Hao Yue, Long Hao Chen was currently growing more and more curious. Hao Yue could feel Long Hao Chens thoughts, and stared at him with his three heads. Little Light was the first, as he directly stuck out his tongue to lick his face, giving Long Hao Chen a face-washing. Haha, stop licking me! It tickles! Little me and the newly born head immediately joined him, and the three heads yfully assaulted Long Hao Chen. Chapter 120 - Three-Headed Hao Yue (II)

Chapter 120: Three-Headed Hao Yue (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the same time, Long Hao Chen received a message conveyed by Hao Yue. The next time he would evolve, it would be a lot harder than this one. Indeed, he would once again undergo qualitative changes, but the degree of evolution wouldnt be as great as this time. After all, it was a lot harder for a magical beast to evolve from the sixth step to the seventh than to evolve from the fourth step to the sixth. In regard to the circumstances of this evolution, Hao Yue didnt say anything further, but from the message he previously conveyed, Long Hao Chen could feel that he was also trying to say that no matter how much he would change in the future, he would forever be his rtive,panion, elder brother, or even his father. It was deep at night. As Long Hao Chen was about to enter the state of cultivation after having taken a bath, Hao Yue was still sleeping deeply. As he had justpleted his evolution, his body was currently feeling extremely weak. Clearly, all his energy was used up during this process, and to return to his optimal state, he still needed more time. Hao Yue also told Long Hao Chen that the attribute of this newborn head was the wind, so Long Hao Chen gave him the name Little Green, just like the color of his eyes. Next day, morning. The sunlighting from the outside of the window was still entering the room as Long Hao Chen, who was in the middle of cultivation, slowly awoke. Bathing in the warm sunshine, he couldnt help but reveal disappointment and frustration in his eyes. The ocean of his soul was still unconsciously recalling that world filled with dark and fire. Compared to that ce, Shengmo Dalu was simply like a heaven! Through the window, as he looked at the gentle morning sun, Long Hao Chen really felt blessed from the bottom of his heart. Hao Yue had seized Long Hao Chens bed, so he could not sleep there, because it wasnt wide enough. In the end, Hao Yues body ended up curled up there, as his tail was held in Little Lights mouth. From the look of other people, this appearance would perhaps look fierce and fearsome, but to Long Hao Chen it was simply Hao Yue and nothing more. Groping the ce above the three heads, Long Hao Chen didnt awake them. Calmly walking away from the bedroom, he took his breakfast. Today, he was going to take part in another match. But when Long Hao Chen walked away from his bedroom, Hao Yues three heads eyes simultaneously opened. Looking face to face at each other, the three different colored pairs of eyes were disying a faintly warm look, as the corner of his mouths rose, and his eyes shut once again. His breathing resumed as well, smoothly. Exerting his strength to stretch his body, he felt that his internal spiritual energy was still feeling weak, from the previous day. Last night, aftering back, it was already deep night. The brief period of cultivation didnt give enough time for Long Hao Chens spiritual energy to be restored to its peak condition. But he could clearly feel that his own physical body had grown a lot sturdier, and that there was a tremendous increase to his physical strength. It appeared that he had to find the asion to test his external spiritual energy. He took his breakfast together with Li Xin and Ye Hua. Because Ye Hua couldnt watch him, he stayed here, as before. At least, he would wait for all Long Hao Chens matches to be over before leaving. Only when he would genuinely be a Demon Hunt Squad member would Ye Hua go back to Hao Yue City. Xiner said that Hao Yue was back, and he evolved once again? Ye Hua asked Long Hao Chen in a low voice. Long Hao Chen nodded. Ye Hua who looked quite curious, immediately asked, And what level did he reach with this evolution? Could it be what you spoke aboutst time? Long Hao Chen answered, It should be the case. Otherwise, I cant think of a reason why he could evolve once again in such a short time. Teacher, I think Hao Yue is really quite abnormal. With this evolution, he should be considered as a magical beast of the sixth step. In addition, he can use another elemental attribute. Ye Hua showed a faint smile and said, For you, this is good news. The stronger Hao Yue is, the more assistance he will be able to provide you with. In this final stage of thepetition, his appearance will be of an extremely great help for you. You will be able to take it a lot easier for the rest of thepetition. Long Hao Chen chucked, Hao Yue is still feeling weak right now; before hepletely recovers, I will not let him battle together with me. Teacher, its gettingte, big sis and I will be leaving for now. Ye Hua nodded, You can go. Long Hao Chen and Li XIn bade farewell to Ye Hua, and headed to the Alliances Great Stadium. Looking at their leaving figures, Ye Hua lightly nodded, Hao Chen, this kid is really good at everything. Only, hes just treating everyone around him too well. Hes paying too much attention to his entourage. Warrior Stadium. When Long Hao Chen entered the stadium, he remembered about the circumstances of the matches of the round-robin tournament that had already taken ce the day before. Today, it looked like the opponent he was going to face was this secondpetitoring from the Mage Temple, a Magic Leader of the fifth step. Without a doubt, this was going to be a tough fight. On the previous day, he had left early, so he naturally didnt know about the results of the rest of the matches. After entering, he heard that his opponent of today had also obtained victory yesterday. Just like Long Hao Chen, he fought an assassin. In the lounge, he looked for a ce to sit. Long Hao Chens eyes swept through his surrounding, and what attracted his attention the most was once again the two girls of the day before. The loli summoner looked quite depressed; it seemed that she still recalled her awkward summon of a littlemb on the day before. Wang Yuanyuan, seated beside, was wiping clean her enormous shield. Her eyes seemed to be brimming with affection, just as if she was fondling the body of a lover. Naturally, Long Hao Chen wouldnt simply think that this loli summoner could only summon sheep. First of all, she was for sure the summoner bearing the number 1, which was a proof that she had reached the fifth step of cultivation. Secondly, the fact she could get in the final stage of thepetition was in itself a proof that she was at least top 10 of the Summoners Qualifiers. On the previous day, when the Creature Summoning Gate had appeared, the vibrations that appeared together with it were something that Long Hao Chen wouldnt be able to forget. Although in the end, the final result was nothing more than the dramatic appearance of amb, still, did it imply that this Creature Summoning Gate could only summon sheep? It couldnt be so simple, right? Without thinking deeply over this, right after sitting down, Long Hao Chen immediately shut his eyes, letting himself enter a state of meditation. Last night, a great part of his spiritual energy was depleted, although the sluggishness of his body was due to his disappearance, for Hao Yues evolution. However, the internal spiritual energy in itself was overdrafted by his use of the Bursting Spiritual Pill, and there was no way to change this fact. He had to do his utmost to recover some internal spiritual energy. The opponent he would face in a little while was that number #2 from the Mage Temple, undoubtedly another powerhouse at the fifth step. Ye Hua previously taught Long Hao Chen that as a mages cultivation level grew, his personal power would increase by leaps and bounds. As a simple example, a mage of the second step could not contend against a warrior of the second step, but after a mage reached the fifth step, even ten warriors of the same step would not necessarily be able to contend against him. Mages relied on their great offensive power and control over the battlefield and an outstanding mage was the main element of the offensive power and burst of his team. The first match of the day was a sh between two assassins, a confrontation of speed and control; it was as if the first to hit was going to win and obtain the final victory. As a result, this match was pretty fast to end, to the extent that almost no one could see clearly how the victor had managed to exert his control over his opponent as the match had already ended. Second match, Huang Yi against Long Hao Chen, battle start. The referees voice awoke Long Hao Chen from his state of cultivation. On the other side, this continuously silent mage slowly stood up. Like Long Hao Chen, he had a quite handsome face, and the lines on it looked as soft as on Long Hao Chens. In terms of build, he was a little taller than Long Hao Chen, but was still far from having Lin Xins stature. As he advanced, full of confidence, it seemed as if the trajectory he took was already fixed. Long Hao Chens look changed, it looked like this opponent wouldnt be easy to cope with! From Huang Yis body, he could feel a threat simr to the one Yang Wenzhao made him feel, only, it was far from being as intense as the one Yang Wenzhao brought upon him. To make the battle between a knight and a mage fair, both parties will start at a distance of 50 meters. The refereemanded Long Hao Chen and Huang Yi to start at a fair distance between each other, before proiming, Match start! This time, Long Hao Chen no longer chose to use [Storing Power]. Against a mage, it was necessary to continuously approach the opponent. Compared to their strong attack power and control over the battlefield, mages generally have a weak body. As soon as a knight closed the gap, the battle was basically decided. [Charge]. Long Hao Chen sped forward, in his left hand was the Radiant Shield, the right hand was changed into the me Sword. His Light Sword was lostst night during the battle with the lich; thus, he only had the choice of using one sword. The Radiant Shield has the ability of self-protection, but after the battlest night, it had still not recovered its full strength, the split suffered during the battle was still apparent. Long Hao Chen wasnt even wearing his armor; a single strike from the Skeleton Kings single strike hadpletely broken this armor of the holy attribute of his. After looking at the equipment taken out by Long Hao Chen, Huang Yi scowled slightly,but his movements werent slow at all. A small staff appeared in his hand. The entire staff became topaz colored, there was no way to know the material its made of, but there were strange patterns on it and a brown spherical gem embedded on top. When Huang Yi took out the staff, yellowish-brown colored circles dispersed. A quiet incantation with a bizarre rhythm was casted by Huang Yi. As he pointed his staff towards the direction of Long Hao Chen, suddenly, a brilliant yellow light entered the arena, and spread out into yellow rings. Long Hao Chens awareness was extremely high, he immediately felt danger, and instantly stopped his charge and made a horizontal dodging motion on his toes. _Boom!_ A huge [Earth Wall] was suddenly erected from beneath the ground, if Long Hao Chen had continued his forward charge, he would be fiercely ramming the wall right now. One wall after another appeared from the earth, no matter what direction Long Hao Chen approached from, there was always an [Earth Wall] that blocked his advance. After a while, his entire vision was blocked by these walls. These walls were 6.5 meters wide, 10 meters tall and two thirds of a meter thick, breaking through wouldnt be easy. Right before Long Hao Chens sight waspletely blocked, Huang Yi suddenly stopped his motions, and a round yellow light appeared from his body. This round yellow light didnt appear to be attacking or defending, simply floating in midair and dropping on top of Huang Yis left shoulder; faintly visible, it was a small person with transparent wings. It was only the size of a palm and appeared very cute, but the sounds it was emitting against Long Hao Chen werent cute at all. Chapter 121 - Three Headed Hao Yue (III)

Chapter 121: Three Headed Hao Yue (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Huang Yis crisp incantation and the low pitched sounds maintained the same rhythm, but the contents of their chants werepletely different. Hearing these two chants at the same time, Long Hao Chen got distracted. Dodging past tworge [Earth Walls], he was able to catch a glimpse of the scene on the other side. An Earth Elemental Spiritual Stove? After seeing the little figure on Huang Yis shoulder, Long Hao Chen was immediately bbergasted. The most practical type of spiritual stove for a mage was an elemental spiritual stove. Every magic element could create a spiritual stove. Once an elemental spiritual stove was obtained, this type of spiritual stove could actually turn into a small fairy which could assist their partner in battle. Elemental spiritual stoves could normally evolve up to three times, and first rate elemental spiritual stoves could evolve four times. The only type of elemental spiritual stove that was useful to a knight was the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. An elemental fairys power was closely rted to the owners strength. Having one was basically like having another person to do incantations for you, but it also consumed the owners spiritual energy. Simply put, an elemental fairy could consume the owners spiritual energy to use magic, assisting its master in either offense or defense. With the evolution of elemental fairies, their greatest asset is amplifying their masters magic strength and reducing spiritual energy consumption. A mage having an elemental spiritual stove was basically like a Guardian Knight having a Saint Spiritual Stove: weed by any team. Although Huang Yis Elemental Spiritual Stove was at the lowest level, its practicality in battle was already immense. All the magic he knew, this elemental fairy also knew. There was no time to procrastinate, because once both magical strengths came out, he would have no more chances of winning. Long Hao Chen rushed forward, no longer moving around the earthen walls, brazenly activating [Charge]. With me Sword in his right hand, a reddish-gold colour that resembled the sun shone. [Shining Sr Strike]. _Bang!_ An [Earth Wall] fell in the face of the mighty [Shining Sr Strike], and [Charge] hadnt shown the slightest sign of stopping, elerating straight towards the opponent. Liquid spiritual energy made [Shining Sr Strike] far superior to what it had been in the past. [Earth Wall] is a spell at the fourth step, and [Shining Sr Strike] is a knights strongest fourth step offensive ability, so the attack and defense just counteracted each other. Facing Long Hao Chens sudden eleration, Huang Yi did not waver in the slightest. One [Earth Wall] after another was erected in front of Long Hao Chen, slowing down his advance. [Shining Sr Strikes] were incessantly activated by Long Hao Chen. ording to his current body strength, if Huang Yi and his earth elemental fairys strength werepletely unleashed, defeat was certain. Violent explosions sounded as one [Earth Wall] after another shattered. Long Hao Chen firmly advanced, always creeping forward to close the gap. Feeling the might of these [Shining Sr Strikes], all of thepetitors from the third group, including Huang Yi, werepletely astonished. This [Shining Sr Strike], was it really being used by a Guardian Knight? He was the only knight of this group, so naturally, no one else here knew that he was both a Guardian and a Retribution Knight. In a moment, their distance had already closed to twenty meters; just a bit more and Long Hao Chens long ranged attacks would have a target. However, at this moment, the earth elemental fairys quiet incantation came to a halt and a huge yellow halo appeared beside Huang Yi. Elemental magic-type summon? Long Hao Chen was surprised and suddenly stopped his charge. The sandy soil that was surrounding the ground advanced at an astonishing speed towards that golden halo as an enormous four meters tall body rose from the ground. This thick body threw itself directly at Long Hao Chen. It was [Earth Giant], an elemental summoning spell. Within the control spells of the fifth step, it could be called the peak existence. It was no wonder that the required chanting time was so long. At the very moment this spell waspleted, Huang Yis face became somewhat paler. Clearly, the consumption of his spiritual energy was great. The elemental fairy on his shoulder stopped chanting, and its body released a browny-yellow radiance, enveloping Huang Yi inside, aiming to help him recover his used-up spiritual energy. [Spiritual Polymerization], an innate ability belonging to elemental fairies. Relying on its important elemental affinity and assistance capabilities, it helped replenish its masters spiritual energy by increasing his absorption speed of the surrounding magical essence. The Earth Giant that Long Hao Chen was facing was honestly nowhere near as terrifying or hard to handle as the Skeleton King of the previous night. However, its defensive power was actually even greater than that of the Skeleton King, and in addition, it wasnt weak against the light attribute. Also, the current Long Hao Chen was far from being at his peak condition. _ngC_ cing his shield horizontally, he used [Divine Obstruction]. Just like that, the giant was repelled, and Long Hao Chens body became covered by the light of [Bright Vengeance]. His left foot striding forward, his me Sword instantly erupted. [Light Thorn]. Filled with a rich gold-red-colored radiance, an enormous de of light was formed, ferociously shing against the body of this Earth Giant. Long Hao Chen moved extremely quickly, and with a halo appearing under his feet, he suddenly jumped up. This [Light Thorn] wasnt only powerful, its edge was also extremely sharp. _PuuuC_ A clean cut instantly appeared on the Earth Giants body. However, Long Hao Chens face showed some change, seeing this effect. [Light Thorn] left on its entire shoulder arge cut. However, this cut that looked like it hadpletely broken this part of the giant was actually only an inch deep. For a giant with a height of four meters with an iparably thick body, it was almost nothing! Furthermore, how could the Earth Giant, which is the most formidable earth control spell of the fifth step, be so simple? Above its two feet, a heavy brown yellow-colored radiance appeared, absorbing the surrounding earth essence to supplement its body. Just like that, the cut on its chest was healed at an astonishing speed, and in a sh, it had disappeared almostpletely. Among all elemental giants that could be summoned, the Earth Giant was the best one in terms of defense. As his pupils suddenly shrank, Long Hao Chen made a firm resolution. He was confident that if he was in top condition, he could use his techniques to gradually destroy this Earth Giant. However, since his internal spiritual energy was in short supply, he didnt have much time left. Huang Yi stood on the side, ring at him like a tiger watching his prey. As long as the Earth Giant could earn him some time, enabling Huang Yi to recover his spiritual energy to its peak condition, there would not be any need for this battle tost any longer. Long Hao Chen could currently feel that his body had less than half of its spiritual energy remaining. Although it was liquid spiritual energy, there was no way it couldst too long. What a shame. Long Hao Chen looked at the Radiant Shield on his left hand, and cing it in the middle of his body, he ruthlessly chopped his me Sword against the fist of this Earth Giant. A resounding noise echoed from this Earth Giants body. Although its body was almost as thick as steel, Long Hao Chen relied on the force released by the rebound to charge in all-in mode, the me Sword ruthlessly chopping against the head of the Earth Giant. The defensive power of this Earth Giant was great, but its movements were rtively slow. The me Sword instantly left a profound mark on its head. Immediately following, all thepetitors could see an astonishing scene appear. Long Hao Chen was still in midair, shield in left hand and sword in right hand as his whole body unceasingly bombarded the Earth Giant with attacks while revolving. A gaudy gold-red-colored brilliance was emitted, as he kept attacking the body of this Earth Giant, just like a meat grinder. [Condemning Revolving Sword], the most powerful offensive ability created by Long Xing Yu. [Condemning Revolving Sword]s essence was in borrowing force to create an opportunity. From one point of view, it was kind of simr to [Storing Power], except for the fact that the amplification was even greater than that of [Storing Power]. A firm and unyielding attack, but unsuited against fast opponents. It was because if it couldnt keep attacking the opponent, there was no way for the firepower to be umted. Clearly, the Earth Giant didnt possess the ability to avoid this [Condemning Revolving Sword]. Even with Yang Wenzhaos strength, when one was touched by this [Condemning Revolving Sword], he wouldnt have time to get out of the way to avoid being caught in the continuous attacks, and would only be able to meet it head on. The whole audience was staring at this astonishing scene; Long Hao Chen was revolving in midair, appearing as if he used the sickle of death to unceasingly engulf the body of the Earth Giant. That Earth Giant could only awkwardly attempt to counterattack without sess, but it only served as a source of power for Long Hao Chen to amplify his attack. Rocks flew upwards as the Earth Giants body was being unceasingly cut apart, with countless holes. Swept by this [Condemning Revolving Sword], its body was being destroyed from top to bottom at an astonishing speed, surprisingly turning into dust under Long Hao Chens killer move. _PuuC_ Thest attackpletely exploded the whole body of this giant, as a chain-like brilliance was emitted together with thest ounce of powering from the amplification of this [Condemning Revolving Sword], directly aiming from afar at the faintly lifeless Huang Yu, flying at him. Huang Yi was a second ranked Magic Leader, and if not for his consideration toward the guy who probably couldnt attack, the real first ranked of the Mage Qualifiers would have been him. [Earth Giant] was a spell that he had learned recently, but he never expected that an opponent of the fifth step could destroy it so quickly. This was an Earth Giant, not an Earth Wall! Wasnt the defensive power of an Earth Giant something that could stall for time even against an opponent at the sixth step? Two yellow lights appeared one after another on Huang Yi; it was [Earth Wall], released by both him and his elemental fairy. _Boom, boom_ C Two sessive explosive sounds could be heard, as the flying golden light unexpectedly destroyed these two Earth Walls in a row. This unstoppable power kept advancing and was aimed at Huang Yis chest. BengC A browny yellow-colored film appeared from the staff in Huang Yis hand. Upon colliding against it, the bright light was finally shattered, turning into dozens of sparks of light scattering in all directions. At that time, Huang Yi could clearly see that this surprise attack against him was precisely the thrown Radiant Shield that was in Long Hao Chens hand. Unfortunately, this shield was nowpletely destroyed. Facing such circumstances, Long Hao Chen was left without means. It was true that his [Condemning Revolving Sword] was an extremely powerful skill, but he had only one sword in his hand, and this ability needed two swords to build momentum appropriately. Thus, because the Radiant Shield didnt have a sufficient attack power, it had to be used for it to bepleted. The original crack on it was erged, before finally ending up on the edge of destruction, to a state beyond repair. Left without choice, Long Hao Chen could only use thisst attack. Compared to Long Hao Chens equipment, Huang Yis equipment was a lot more luxurious. The browny yellow film that appeared atst was the skill included in his magical staff, [Earth Elemental Protective Shield]. Chapter 122 - Hao Yue Enters The Battle

Chapter 122: Hao Yue Enters The Battle

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales As he reached the ground at an astonishing speed, Long Hao Chens breath clearly became heavier; hisck of internal spiritual energy was what made this feeble sensation appear. If this was a life or death battle, he wouldnt have any hesitation in using a Restoring Spiritual Pill, but he was not willing to waste precious resources in apetition match. More importantly, he wished as before for his potential toe out with these matches. After a short pause, [Faith Ring] was set free as he suddenly stepped on the ground,unching [Charge] once again. At this moment, he was only roughly 20 meters away from Huang Yi. As long as he could reduce the range between them in a short instant, he would obtain victory. However, at the same time, Huang Yi disyed a faint smile. Grasping his magical staff, he unceasingly chanted an incantation, and a shining ring suddenly appeared on the ground. That ring surprisingly started to move on the ground, arriving under Long Hao Chens feet. At this very moment, ten spikes suddenly rose from the ground, taking the shape of a cage that trapped Long Hao Chen in it. The earth elemental fairy also started to chant at this very moment, disying a synchronization with Huang Yi that could be called perfect. In the air, a yellow color suddenly appeared and, immediately, ten stones the size of millstones dropped from the sky, about to smash Long Hao Chen who was still in this cage. If Long Hao Chen still had his Radiant Shield, it wouldnt be hard for him to block these falling stones. But the Radiant Shield had already been destroyed and he didnt have another shield to defend himself. As he took a deep breath, Long Hao Chen concentrated his attention on thebat. When he saw the cage surrounding him, he became aware of the fact this match would unfortunately be extremely hard to win. However, until thest moment, he was resolute to never dere the words I give up. Holding the hilt of his me Sword with both hands, he took a little step forward with his left foot, maintaining his feet close to each other, lowering his waist and started to jump. Full of resolution and perseverance, he gazed upon the stones falling on the ground as hepleted this jumping motion. At this time, Long Hao Chensbat skills and his strong mental capacity were undoubtedly manifesting. He didnt utilize any spiritual energy,pletely relying on the power of his body to jump to a height of 100 meters and sh against these falling rocks. During this time of crisis, the me Sword hit the stones on their sides, which was their most vulnerable area, borrowing power from the jump, rather than attacking recklessly. This method was best at conserving spiritual energy while fighting at the highest level. On the other side, Huang Yi and his Earth Elemental Fairy started a long chant. This time, the chanting time was even longer than for the previous summoning spell. The thing that was even stranger in this joint chant with his Earth Elemental Fairy was that it was very slow in speed; he finished chanting a musical scale before letting his elemental fairy start the next one, and so on. This was the quintessence of mages joint chanting. The spell that was going to beunched with such an borated chant could only be a secret spell, requiring a high coordination between the spell casters. Making use of an elemental fairy was by far the easiest method to perform this kind of joint chant. The eight otherpetitors of the third group could currently clearly see that the match was already settled. No matter what kind of spell Huang Yi and his Earth Elemental Fairy were chanting, Long Hao Chen had no way to interrupt it. And, naturally, the longer a magical chant was, the more formidable its power would be. Dozens of falling stones were sent flying by Long Hao Chen, as he discovered to his astonishment that his bodys power had indeed made great progress. Continuously shattering these falling stones was making his hands feel a bit numb, but at least he could conserve his internal spiritual energy, this way. _BangC_ A gold-red radiance shone once more. Once again, it was [Shining Sr Strike]. Long Hao Chen used two of them in a row to create a gap in the cage surrounding him and made it out, dashing out from inside. You wont make it in time; you can only concede. Huang Yis indifferent voice resounded as he revealed a confident smile. His gentle face was filled with some hidden hints of pride and arrogance. Long Hao Chen didntunch a charge; he discovered that the ground had bepletely different. Above the original sandy soil was now a faint amount of yellow radiance. This radiance was not intense at all, but it was still there. Huang Yi faintly smiled, Is it not okay? Then please see for yourself. After he lightly shook the staff in his hand, a strange scene urred. The soil below him suddenly swelled, pushing his body three meters high in the air, and immediately following, that swelling soil retreated, arriving at his back, even faster than the speed of Long Hao Chens charge. It seemed that in a split second, the distance separating Huang Yi and Long Hao Chen was increased by 100 meters. Whether for warriors or knights, the most important point when facing a mage was the distance. Seeing the distance separating them increase so suddenly, Long Hao Chen was at a loss. Immediately, he felt the ground below him shaking as an enormous pile of earth suddenly welled up and shook out. His body was instantly thrown by it. Long Hao Chen huddled his body in midair, changing his direction toward the ground, but another pile of earth was stimted, ruthlessly knocking against him. He waved his sword, chopping below. _BangC_ The great power tossed Long Hao Chen once again into the air. Giving up all hope, he could clearly see the scene; it seemed as if the whole stadium had been given life as countless piles of earth rolled over and over just like waves. Huang Yi was calmly standing in a distant ce, exerting his control. Wearing a smile, he went as far as to look at him with ridicule. Earth control spell of the sixth step, [Earth Waves]. This was the best self-defense spell for a mage who controlled earth. Not only could it be of assistance to shift the direction of his own body or to move quickly, it could also be used to block attacks or to attack enemies, so it was a formidable control technique that could both attack and defend. So long as the enemy was on the ground, he had almost no way to escape the control of this spell, unless the opponents strength was so formidable that he could smash the spell to oblivion. Long Hao Chen didnt even have the time to fall down as he was once again thrown in air, just like a little boat on a wave. From all directions, countless earth waves were unceasingly aiming at his body. Even if Long Hao Chens body was very tough, it didnt prevent a surge of blood froming out from his body. The referee stood at the same ce, far away from this battlefield, as he closely watched this scene, waiting for Long Hao Chen to concede. Seeing Long Hao Chens struggles with the earth waves, Huang Yi couldnt help but feel some admiration. This young knight was for sure younger than him, but he had already trained to the fifth step. Additionally, his willpower and his resolution were for real. Only, in the end, he was just a knight. And on top of that, he was an expert at area control. Yes, he faced a Knight, and so what? His sensation ofplete control was just extremely marvellous, especially against this kind of opponent. At this very moment, Long Hao Chens body that had been suddenly thrown into the air suddenly stopped in its flight. Huang Yi could only vaguely see a purple glow that came from an unknown ce on Long Hao Chens body. Immediately, a detailed purple mark appeared without foundation, surprisingly forcibly supporting his body so that he didnt continue to fall down. *RAWR*C An angry, howling shout outrageously resounded, astonishing everyone present around the stadium as an aura was instantly spread around the purple-colored light. Nine purple lights were sparkling, coiling around the peculiar symbol on the mark in the air, as an enormous body appeared below Long Hao Chen, catching him. Hao Yue. Hao Chen called out his name, somewhat astonished as he leaned over Hao Yues broad back and violently gasped for air. His internal spiritual energy was almostpletely exhausted, which gave him an extremely unpleasant feeling. If he was tossed once again by an earth wave, he would perhaps really end up wounded. Thats right, Hao Yue came. Feeling that Long Hao Chen was in danger, he chose to be transported to his side. A bright bluish-green radiance appeared under Hao Yues body, bearing the weight of his body with a length of four meters. When he was by the side of Long Hao Chen, he was only acting like a spoiled child, full of affection and seeking love. But at this very moment, the six eyes on Hao Yues three heads werepletely ice-cold. Floating in midair, he coldly fixed his eyes on Huang Yi from afar. A mount? So he finally decided to summon his mount. What kind of mount is it? [Float]? Looking at Hao Yue, Huang Yi waspletely astonished. Wasnt it a kind of three-headed lizard? But with such a huge size, this magical beast gave almost an immaterial feel. However, he still knew the wind-control spell [Float] he was currently using. As a result, he secretly sneered to himself. _[Float] isnt [Soar]; for how long will your huge body be capable of floating in the air? As soon as you fall down, you will be identically under the effect of my [Earth Wave]. And my [Earth Wave] canst for ten more minutes._ Huang Yi didnt dare be careless. In the instant Hao Yue appeared, with his Earth Elemental Fairy, he started to chant another incantation. His chant was for the spell [Meteorite], whereas his Earth Elemental Fairys chant was for the spell [Falling Stones]. [Meteorite] was an extremely powerful offensive spell, but itunched a single meteorite that moved ording to the mages control. It was an extremely good match with the area effect of [Falling Stones], naturally incredibly increasing his attack potential. As this side was chanting two incantations, on the other side, Hao Yue was chanting three incantations. And furthermore, their three attributes werepletely different. Little Light, Little me, and Little Greens low-pitched voices rose at the same time. Their chant was in anguage Long Hao Chen didnt understand. It waspletely different from humans chants; itsted an extremely short time and was vigorous. The very first toplete his chant was Little Light. A golden halo appeared and surrounded his huge head. Little Light raised his head, spouting a gaudy bright light in the air. Immediately, a golden cloud appeared in the air, and instantly, a light beam fell from the cloud, aimed at Long Hao Chens body. A warm current suddenly spread throughout his whole body. Long Hao Chen could only feel that the liquid spiritual energy in his body was in a sort of total agitation, leaping up and down at an astonishing speed, recovering its power. [Radiant World], a skill of a Guardian Knight of the fifth step. Also known as [Spiritual Replenishment], this skill had a very great restriction: it was only useable between light element users. It was a spell used to transfer spiritual energy, a spell that was a lot more obscure than the skill [Storing Power] within Knights secret skills. Regardless of whether they were Guardian Knights or Retribution Knights, very few learned to use this skill. Just ask yourself: who would be willing to transfer his spiritual energy to someone else? However, Little Light could use this spell and he directly used it on Long Hao Chens body. Long Hao Chen could only feel that in almost a split second, more than 50% of his internal spiritual energy had recovered as he immediately straightened his posture, still seated on Hao Yue. Because Huang Yi and his Earth Elemental Fairy cast their spells first, [Falling Stone] and [Meteorite] were immediately simultaneouslypleted. In the sky, countless millstone-sized rocks fell. Simultaneously, a sparkle of yellow radiance appeared together with a circr stone that seemed to emit a whizzing sound, aiming straight towards Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen, still seated on Hao Yues back, stood straight and motionless. He naturally knew Hao Yues intentions through their connection. Inclining below the me Sword in his hand, a golden shine rose around, [Storing Power]! Little me roared in the air, as a zing red hexagon rose above his head and his two zing red-colored little eyes shone in a dazzling red color. _BangC_ A column of me suddenly rose around Hao Yues body, rising into the air and turning most of the falling stones instantly into ashes. When it collided against that meteorite that was shot against him, the effect wasnt any different. As the meteorite approached Long Hao Chen, Little me moved his huge head, simply colliding against this meteorite that had already had its momentum greatly reduced. Little Greens spell waspleted in this moment. A rich green light shone on his back instantly, forming a green-colored hexagon, as a hurricane was produced and sprayed from Hao Yues back. The appearance of this hurricane was quite inelegant; it seemed like some fart, but its results were stunning. Hao Yues massive body was propelled by this [Wind Pir]. As swiftly as a meteor catching up with the moon, he flew straight towards Huang Yi. Exactly! [Float] didnt enable flight, but further adding the supplementary assistance of [Wind Pir], it could make him slide in the air for a short duration. Hao Yues three heads had a perfect matching: Little Light took care of restoring Long Hao Chens spiritual energy, Little me took care of defense, and Little Green took care of flying. Triple attribute magical beast? Huang Yi stared nkly; his meteorite had just fallen after being broken as Hao Yue drew closer and closer. Not good! Huang Yi hastingly controlled the earth waves with the intent of running away. This [Earth Wave] technique also consumed some of his spiritual energy and, in addition, from the previous series of fights with Long Hao Chen, his spiritual energy consumption was already very huge. He already had no way tounch other attacks. All he could do was to increase their distance and wait for Long Hao Chen to fall on the ground. But would Long Hao Chen give him this opportunity? Long Hao Chen jumped out from Hao Yues back, shooting forward like an arrow. Little Green spouted out a smaller wind pir and, by aiming it below Long Hao Chens feet, made his speed reach its extreme limit. [Earth Wave] was really used cleverly as Huang Yi exerted his control below his feet to change direction. With a white glow, a formidable pulling power dragged Huang Yi,pletely astonished, toward him, and in the next instant, Long Hao Chens zing Fire Sword was already in front of him. Saint Spiritual Stove, [Pull]. Previously, Long Hao Chen wanted to use this skill as soon as he was going to be within 20 meters of his enemy, but was forcibly separated from him by the sudden appearance of the cage. How could he give him another chance at the present time? Hao Yue, with his four sturdy limbs, fell on the ground, charging in Long Hao Chens direction. Little Green opened his mouth for a breath, exerting a great attractive power to pull something, and, immediately, another windball was created, helping Long Hao Chen to gently fall on the ground. When Huang Yi came back to his senses, three fierce, huge heads were already in front of him, surrounding him from three directions. Breathing loudly, Little me licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue, seemingly thinking of him like a delicious meal. NOOO! I concede And the title was: I didnt want to spoil you this surprise. Chapter 123 - So strong Cai’er! (I)

Chapter 123: So strong Caier! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Stop! I concede. Huang Yi cried out in rm, leaving the whole audience in shock. This scene was really theatrical; no one expected that the one who was designed as the absolute future winner, Huang Yi, would have his opponent Long Hao Chen turn the tides in such a brief time. From Hao Yues appearance to the conclusion of the fight, the time of ten breaths hadnt even passed; that was how incontestable Hao Yues might was. Despite the fact he didnt use any really powerful spell, these three heads, each of them possessing a different attribute, had an incredible coordination between each other. It was as if three mages were simultaneously giving their help to Long Hao Chen. The [Earth Waves] faded away, returning the stadium back to its original calm state. But Hao Yue didnt move the slightest bit. The three heads and six eyes were focused on the Earth Elemental Fairy on Huang Yis body. Little Green opened his mouth, releasing an intense attractive force. With a little cry of the Earth Elemental Fairy, thistter was being sucked in in the next instant. No! Huang Yi shouted loudly, his original fear toward Hao Yues three huge heads turning into despair. How important was this elemental spiritual stove?! To him, losing the elemental fairy was akin to having his force decreased by 40%! Little Green, you cant! Hurry up and spit it out! Long Hao Chen said in a low voice. Little Green gave Long Hao Chen a non-understanding look as Little Light and Little Fire gulped out a mouthful of saliva, their eyes revealing a heart-broken expression, as they humanly surrounded Little Green, as if trying to convince him. Little Green unwillingly opened up his mouth, and puffed out the Earth Elemental Fairy, smashing it at Huang Yis side. This little guy waspletely horrified and shivering as if it was the end of the world because of this experience, as its bodys elemental capabilities seemed muddy. It was wet, but Huang Yi, who was still overjoyed at the sight, absorbed the little guy back in his body without the slightest hesitation, absorbing the saliva together with it inside of his chest. Long Hao Chen unhappily tapped Little Greens head, You guys would really want to eat anything! Brother Huang, my apologies. Huang Yi shook his head, I am the one who should thank you. I lost. Having finished to speak, he performed a mage salute full of gratefulness towards Long Hao Chen, turning around and heading back to the lounge. Victor, Long Hao Chen. Without even speaking about the otherpetitors, the referee seized this chance to announce the name of the winner, as he looked up and down at this umon magical beast by Long Hao Chens side. Magical beasts that could use three different attributes werent nonexistent, but it was really rare to see one with three heads. In addition, generally, magical beasts that could use three attributes were generally at least at the eighth step. This referee had a discerning eye and could clearly see that this magical beastpanion belonging to Long Hao Chen was roughly at the early sixth step of cultivation and wasnt too formidable yet, but looking at it, it seemed to have already a fully grown body. If this three-headed lizard kept growing, with its talent giving it ess to three attributes of magic, it would undoubtedly be a great help for Long Hao Chen to be an extremely formidable knight. Long Hao Chen didnt stay there motionless and directly sent Hao Yue back to the hotel, at the room where he was originally, through his contract. A magical beasts summoning could also be self-triggered, especially in this case where Long Hao Chen and Hao Yue shared a blood contract that enhanced their link by a great extent. _There will be nothing up today, right? Seeing that my match ended so early, I will definitely be able to wait there for Caier._ After letting Caier wait for him in vain for twice in a row, full of worries, Long Hao Chen felt really guilty in his heart. Consequently, right after winning his match, he impatiently left the stadium. Thisbat of today had already settled his ce at thepetition among the third group; Huang Yi was likely the most powerful opponent he could have in this group, so winning this match made the rest of thepetition a lot easier on him. On the other side, in the second groupspetition stadium. Li Xin was seated in the lounge, anxious about the match that was about to begin. She was currently even more nervous than before her own matches. The two parties of the match rapidly walked over into the stadium, and among them was precisely the one who won against Lin Xin, the baldie priest Sima Xian. And on the other side Du, du, du. Letting out these familiar sounds, Caier grasped her bamboo cane, unhurriedly walking into the stadium. Sima Xians eyes were focused on Caier who was about to enter, and he couldnt help but wrinkle his brows. On the previous day, he saw the match between Caier and Li Xin. The fact Caier immediately chose to surrender was really mysterious; _How could this blind girl even pass through the qualifiers?_ But at present, Caier was his opponent. The match between Sima Xian and Caier may begin. The referee announced that, and retreated back immediately, and the four pirs for assisting assassins subsequently rose. Sima Xian didnt directlyunch the offense as he gave a puzzled look to Caier, Lady, are you okay? If you want, you can concede, you know. Actually, I dont really like to battle against girls. With this appearance of yours, I really wont be able to initiate the attack. I am going to attack. Caiers cold voice immediately resounded. In the next instant, Sima Xian felt that his whole body was abruptly deep fried, as a choking murderous intent instantly filled the air. Caier was after all Caier, a blind girl walking with the help of a bamboo cane, but in the next instant, before Sima Xians eyes, she turned into an iparably sharp de. As her figure shed, just like in the preliminaries, Caier suddenly turned into a ck bolt of lightning. Sima Xian could only feel that a flower was before his eyes, as Caier had already arrived in front of him, the short end of her bamboo cane directly pointing at his chest, just as if it was a dagger. Sima Xians reaction was also fast. Feeling this flower that gave him a somewhat abnormal feeling, he quickly drew back and, taking a big stride, he relied on his perception and immediately held his thick magical staff before himself. With a Dang sound, Sima Xian could only feel a tremendous power instantly rushing forth, as a dense chill propagated to his magical staff, entering within his palm, with a prating power that made his whole body ice-cold. But from the eyes of the otherpetitors, Caier was just like a specter that had instantly shed forward. Her bamboo cane was pointed at Sima Xians staff, as Sima Xians body was already pushed back in the opposite direction. Fifth stepC Sima Xian shouted out violently to himself. How could there be such a difference between he who didnt have a cultivation at the fifth step level, and his opponent? And how could her spiritual energy be so tyrannical? He could absolutely not afford to let her approach. Sima Xian immediately gave the right answer. His right foot ruthlessly stamped on the ground as he used [Sacred Knock]. A white glow turning into a ring of light instantly surrounded his body, releasing an important explosive power. Naturally, his answer was the appropriate one. Just like a sort of maggot sticking to ones feet, he tried to keep up with Caiers pace, by using [Sacred Knock] before falling back, taking a slight pause. Sima Xian still had his staff in hand, cing it horizontally before him. Putting his [Sacred Hammer] to use, he went straight for Caier, aiming to sh with her head-on. At the same time, a bright light arose from his body, it was the protective spell used by priests, [Sacred Light]. HOU Sima Xian roared in fury, his whole body suddenly expanding as the clothes on the upper part of his body splitted open after another, as he entered in the [Madness] state. If, from the eyes of the spectators, his series of attacks against the defending Lin Xin could already be described as astonishing, he was now going as far as to use [Madness], making the otherpetitors quiver from the bottom of their hearts. _This fellow, is he really a priest?.._ Sima Xians reply, in itself, couldnt be described as bad, but unfortunately, his opponent was Caier. Caiers whole body dazzled, pointing the bamboo cane forward, and making the [Sacred Hammer] disappear just like that, without foundation. He didnt even have the time to disy his offensive power. And meanwhile, Caiers body instantly became illusory, leaving Sima Xian with no way to catch up to her silhouette. The effects of madness mode on Sima Xians attack speed and offensive power was really astonishing, as he waved his staff,unching attacks at great speed toward Caier. However, a shocking sight appeared instantly. Even when confronting such a tyrannical power, Caier didnt retreat, and charged instead; surprisingly rushing into the range of Sima Xians staff. Papapapa, with four sessive sounds, four blue glows simultaneously appeared at four different ces of the [Sacred Light] making it instantly fall apart. Sima Xian was currently stupefied to the greatest extent possible. _Is she really a human, or is she a specter?_ He had clearly seen her being smashed by his weapon, but he didnt feel a sensation of being in contact with anything. At this very moment, an ear-piercing cry resounded at a short distance. Sima Xian could only feel a great pain in his two ears, as his mind instantly turned empty. Also at this very moment, Caier who had arrived within the two meters before her opponent pointed once again her bamboo cane forward, letting out a peaceful glitter shining of blue. With a _pu_ sound, it hit exactly his staff on its tip. Compared to previously, the force rushing out from him was already iparably greater; but, although he was in this state of [Madness], it was useless under this absent-minded state; this weapon in his hand instantly pounded out from Sima Xians sturdy muscles. Immediately, Caiers bamboo cane swept forward and, with a _pu_ sound, Sima Xian was sent flying five meters back, falling on the ground. With a sh of shadow, the extremity of the bamboo cane was already being pressed against Sima Xians throat. [Sly Stab], [Spectral Dodging], [Magic Brain Waves], [Despotic Stab]. Caiers spiritual energy was full of prating power. Sima Xian, currently pressed against the ground, could only use his own spiritual energy to do his utmost to contend against Caiers, showing some capability to resist. You lost. Caier said these words with an indifferent tone, as she regained her bamboo cane and unhurriedly walked back to the lounge. Without even awaiting the referees confirmation, she left, filled with absolute confidence. Because during the match of yesterday, Caier directly conceded against Li Xin, the otherpetitors were full of contempt toward her, but this time, their expressions became a grotesque sight to behold. Sima Xian hadnt reached the fifth step of cultivation, but he was still above the 8th rank of the 4th step. Under the state of [Madness], he could normally match powerhouses at the fifth step. However, in front of Caier, he didnt have the slightest chance. From Caiers appearance on stage to the conclusion of the match, the time that passed was extremely brief. However, Caier still had this maiden-like appearance, as she moved like a thunderbolt with a formidable attack power, shaking every spectator. One must realize that from beginning to end, she didnt even use these pirs, and in addition, she was blind! The fame of this assassin#1 was really deserved. Victor, Caier. The referee simultaneously announced, and Sima Xian, who was previously getting up from the ground, used his hand to stroke his bald head, before giving another look to Caier, with apletely different expression, murmuring to himself, So, assassins could actually be that overwhelming! Thisbat had arge influence on Sima Xian, because it was the first time that he was leftpletely overwhelmed and unable to strike when facing an opponent with a simr age as his. Chapter 124 - So strong Cai’er (II) 124 So strong Caier (II) Actually, the current Sima Xian looked simr to a berserker using the light attribute. In the earlier stages, priests were supposed to have very limited offensive capabilities. For sure, his physical strength was extremely high, but how could he contend against an ultra-genius of the type that doesnt even appear once every 1000 years, the Saint Daughter of Samsara? Lin Xin was staring nkly at Caier, who was going back to her lounge, with his eyes focused on her. His current opinion of Caier waspletely different. In short, she had simply be a great favorite he had to cling to Naturally, it was absolutely not in that meaning, he was only yearning for trying to get in her good graces, he didnt have any other kind of ideas. This girl who was previously together with Long Hao Chen, a delicate-looking youngdy who had in addition lost her sight was actually powerful to such a frightening level. Sima Xian had learned and experienced her fighting strength today with his own body. Too strong, it was simply too strong. Who else could contend against such a powerhouse during these Demon Hunt Selections? Li Xins shock was no less than Lin Xins. What Lin Xin didnt expect, neither did she expect it. Furthermore, during her match against her on the previous day, Caier had voluntarily conceded. Even if she had Rose, could she really win against her? _Lil bro! Where did you get yourself a littledy as abnormal as you!?_ In the past, Li Xin was always thinking that Long Hao Chen was the greatest genius that could exist in this world, but this littledy before her eyes looked no older than him! She was also already at the fifth step of cultivation. Having seen how easily and skillfully she coped with Sima Xian with such a calm demeanor, she was clearly far from having gone all out. If she could really be her little brothers girlfriend, how great would that be. Big sister, I am leaving first. Caier approached Li Xin by the side, and said this in a low voice. Li Xin revealed a faint smile, and asked, Youre going to wait for him? Yeah. Li Xin said with a smile, Quickly go. Seeing that youre so strong, it looks like there is no need for me to worry about your safety. Du, du, du. Under the gaze of all thepetitors, Caier quietly left. For the following days, the other matches of Long Hao Chens could be said to have gone as smoothly as a breeze of wind; he didnt encounter anyplications. It was to the extent that he didnt even need Hao Yue to appear on stage. In addition, he had obtained five victories from people who surrendered from the start of the match. When drawing him as their opponent, the two priests directly surrendered; they had clearly seen how Long Hao Chen destroyed the Earth Giant; how could they possibly restrain this level of attack power? And thest three of these victories were contributions from those other assassins. During thispetition in groups, everyone had nine matches. So far Long Hao Chen only needed seven wins to be sure to be qualified. On thest two days, he was up against the two strangedies of this group, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger. In this group, Long Hao Chen and Huang Yi were the ones who disyed the most astonishing strength, but the ones who attracted the most attention werent them, it was this youngdy summoner, Chen Yinger. After having been defeated three times in a row, she emerged victorious three times in a row. Her fighting method was simple, it was to rely on the Creature Summoning Gate. When up against Long Hao Chen, this youngdy summoned a mount that she herself could basically not recognize at all. And when she ended up against Huang Yi, what outrageously came out from her Creature Summoning Gate was a huge green dragon at the eighth step that intimidated Huang Yi to such an extent that he directly conceded. Since then, thisdy became the most unpredictable element of the third group. Try to ask, who among these youngsters could possibly want to measure himself against a magical beast of the eighth step? Wang Yuanyuans appearance was also eye-catching; just like Long Hao Chen, she had gotten herself seven victories. However, until this day, the ones she hadnt run against were the toughest opponents, Long Hao Chen and Huang Yi. At the very end, she had topete against both of them. As a result, after Long Hao Chen had gotten himself one of the ces, the second ce was going to be settled in the match between Huang Yi and Wang Yuanyuan. At the time of this match, Huang Yi had already lost two matches, but had the great asion to catch up with Wang Yuanyuan and possibly aim for a seventh victory. This way, as long as Long Hao Chen could beat her, in concerns to both sides equal number of victories and defeat, he could possibly surpass his opponent in rank and stay in thepetition, together with Long Hao Chen. The marvel of this third group was undoubtedly this random summoner. And there was an even more marvellous guy in the second group, it was Lin Xin. Among the seven matches he was in, Lin Xin ended six of them in a row. Exactly, except from one he lost against the bald priest Sima Xian because of the matter of time, the six following matches of thepetition all ended in a draw. It was because even though he couldnt attack, there was no one who could break through his defense. It was the same even for Li Xin who possessed her Rose Unicorn. Unfortunately for him, his match of the eighth day was about to begin, and on this day, his opponent was precisely Caier. Within the second group, Caier was without equal. Her seven matches had ended with six victories and a defeat against Li Xin, who by relying on her Rose Unicorn also ended with good results with five victories, one draw and one defeat. Her defeat was against a summoner from the Spiritual Temple. However, on the next day, when this summoner 13:53 ran up against Caier as his opponent, he was directly heavily wounded by her, leading to a lot ofplications in the rear. For this reason, the Spiritual Temple raised aint against the Assassin Temple. However, was this really of use? The bald priest Sima Xian was the third ranked of this group. His seven matches had ended with five victories and two defeats, the second defeat urring when he fought Li Xin. The Rose Unicorns dominance was really too great, further adding the fact Li Xin was herself a Retribution Knight. In addition, after evolving, the Rose Unicorn had gotten herself a lot ofbat experience, making their coordination better and better. Thest two matches of Caier within this group were up against Lin Xin, the mage who couldnt attack, and a warrior. Basically, until now, Li Xin and her mount overwhelmed the others in thispetition. Li Xin clearly knew that if not for Caier, she could never have seeded in this group, and to this youngdy, who was helping her out of affection and not out of reason, she took more and more of a liking. In the past five days, Long Hao Chen didnt really do anything out of the ordinary. With Caier, he did nothing more than apanying her back everyday. After all, they were still too young, and holding hands with each other was already, for them, a great source of happiness. They didnt chat a lot, but already felt extremely familiar with each other. Li Xin already told Long Hao Chen the fact she was far from being as strong as Caier and let this couple manage that among themselves; it would be great if he could develop their rtionship. Long Hao Chen never asked Caier about the reason why she conceded, because on the first day of thepetition, when Caier conceded out of consideration for Li Xin, it reinforced Long Hao Chens first impression of Caier as a blind girl, which implied in his mind, that her fighting capabilities couldnt be too good. At that moment, his sentiment of pity had been further reinforced. The group entered the eighth day ofpetition. Bright morning. As she took her breakfast, Li Xin made fun of Long Hao Chen, Lil bro, before you send Caier back home every day, where do you bring her to have fun? Ye Hua who was eating together with them also looked at Long Hao Chen. Naturally, Li Xin wouldnt have kept the fact that Long Hao Chen was familiar with Caier hidden, and also told him about Caiers fighting prowesses. Naturally, Ye Hua wouldnt be against the rtion between his treasured disciple and this future star of the Assassin Temple. A blind girl, but furthermore and against all expectations, an extremely strong assassin! This was in itself an extremely rare sight. Although in the beginning, he believed that it was an extremely bad thing for Long Hao Chen to have gotten a girlfriend so early, the revtion he had been given on the previous daypletely changed his mind. Have fun? I am just sending her back home and thats all. was Long Hao Chens reply. Li Xin immediately opened wide her eyes, It cannot be, lil bro. So thats what you call a date with a girl? Its too unromantic! Even if you are nervous because of the ongoingpetition, its not a reason for you not to take her to have fun or invite her for a meal, is it? Discuss, discuss and get familiar with her familys circumstances and this kind of stuff. Invite her for a meal? Long Hao Chen nked out, But I dont have any money! He had indeed no money, all the money he had gotten without exception was used on Hao Yues stomach. After Hao Yue evolved, he ate even more. This fellow was really a wallet-emptier. Li Xin patted his forehead, and said in a calm voice, You foolish lil bro, if you dont have money, cant you ask your sister for some? So silly. Here. As she spoke, a sack of gold coins was taken out from her bosom and thrown at Long Hao Chen. Sis, I cannot receive your money. Long Hao Chen hurriedly threw this coin sack back at her. Li Xin opened wide her eyes, What on earth are you doing? Are you looking for a beating? Quickly take it back, isnt it natural for a little brother to spend his big sisters money? And from the beginning, I have been regarding you like a little brother, could it be that you dont regard me as a dear big sister? If you dare return this, big sis will be extremely angry, and will ignore you in the future. I At that moment, Long Hao Chen didnt know what he should reply to her. Ye Hua said, ept it. Xiner is also doing this for your sake. Thatdy Caier, you should treat her better. If you have the asion, during the group selection for the demon hunt squads, you should do your utmost to be together with her. Yesterday, a very mysterious old dude came to find Ye Hua, to speak to him privately for an entire hour. After this old dude left, Ye Hua was immersed in his thoughts for a long time, carrying a feeling of being torn betweenughter and tears. It was because it was the higher-ups of the Knight Temple who came to find him, and their objective was unexpectedly to tell him that he had to do his utmost to y matchmaker between Long Hao Chen and Caier. Although he wasnt really clear, this was the message he was conveyed. It could only mean that Caier was of extremely unusual importance to the Assassin Temple and this way, both of them could advance together. However, considering Ye Huas temper, he naturally couldnt act as a matchmaker for his disciple for real. Today, this single sentence was also a hinted expression of his approval of Long Hao Chen and Caier being together. After taking the gold coins, Long Hao Chen felt very ashamed. _Thats right! I have already known Caier for so long, but I have never invited her out to eat._ Mage Stadium, field of the second group. ording to the drawing of lots, today, the first match would oppose Caier to Lin Xin, her astonished opponent. Caier against Lin Xin, both parties may appear on stage. The referee yelled out loudly from within the stadium. Caier slowly stood straight, and just when she was about to go, Lin Xin who had already stood up, said aloud, I concede, I concede! Within this second group, this was the first time a match was conceded before neither of both parties entered on stage. Lin Xin revealed a faint smile in Caiers direction. He knew that Caier couldnt see, but still waved his hand. To him, regardless of what he did, there was no way he could enter the top 16. Since it was the case, he might as well act like a good person and give Caier a favor. More importantly, he didnt believe that he could possibly block Caiers attacks. Chapter 125 - So strong Cai’er (III)

Chapter 125: So strong Caier (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin was a mage that couldnt use offensive magic, but it didnt mean that he wasnt smart. On the contrary, he was an extremely smart guy. What was Caiers vocation? She was an assassin. Did she use other weapons than her bamboo cane? Absolutely not. From the beginning of thepetition until now, Caier didnt take out any real assassin weapons. If she were to really take one out, at what level would her offensive power be? He didnt want to be her first good test, just because his defensive power was great. In the third group, Long Hao Chen was also the first one to appear on stage today. Only, his match wasnt as rxed as Caiers. Wang Yuanyuan was facing Long Hao Chen as his opponent, her right hand holding the heavy shield that was evenrger than her own body, looking at Long Hao Chen with eyes brimming with confidence. She knew that as long as she could win this match, then the first ce of the second group would be hers. Although thepetition opposing those in the top 16 would involve another drawing of lots, the first of their group would meet seconds of other groups, so evidently, to her, having the status of first-ranked of her group would be extremely advantageous. Only, she also knew that the guy before her eyes would be extremely hard to cope with. That day, when Long Hao Chen defeated Huang Yi, although the appearance of the mount that he revealed was short-lived, it left an extremely deep impression in her mind. Match start! The referee announced before slowly moving back. Wang Yuanyuan held her shield ced horizontally, ced before her body, as she faced Long Hao Chen and shouted out, Summon it. Let this mount of yourse out. Long Hao Chen shook his head, and said, That wouldnt be fair. If your strength can reallypel me to do so, I will reconsider. Although he really wished for this greatpetition to help increase hisbat experience, he couldnt be inflexible either. Breaking through the fifth step was something Long Hao Chen himself didnt expect to happen, but now, not only did he break through, Hao Yue had alsopleted his second evolution. This gave him for real the strength necessary to enter the top three of these finals. There was after all a spiritual stove to gain as reward! Furthermore, the promise he made to Lin Xin had yet to be aplished. It would of course be for the best if he could be in the top of this Demon Hunt Selection. Long Hao Chen really didnt like the feeling of owing something to someone. Wang Yuanyuan couldnt refrain from a slightughter. Holding a small gem to her body with her left hand, she nodded towards Long Hao Chen: As you say so, lets fight a fair battle. While she said that, she shouted out loudly before dashing towards Long Hao Chen in a short moment. Although her speed might not beparable to an assassin,with each step, a loud bang sounded, and her own imposing power increased. Silver spiritual energy rose up and covered her skin with ayer of brilliant silver. Wasnt she at the fifth step? It was visibly liquid spiritual energy. Long Hao Chen was immediately startled, because during the previous matches, Wang Yuanyuan only disyed power that was at the peak of the fourth step; this was the first time that she disyed a strength at the fifth step level. There was no way of knowing whether she was hiding her strength earlier or just recently made a breakthrough. ording tomon logic from the warrior temple, Wang Yuanyuan did not fit the mold of a regr shield warrior at all: her enormous shield was basically being used as if it was a heavy axe. Less than ten meters away from Long Hao Chen, stomping her right foot, she rose up into the air, swinging her enormous shield, and going straight for his head. With that violent look, she did not have even half the grace a female was supposed to have, and was even fiercer than male warriors. Long Hao Chen held a fine iron shield in his left hand and his me Sword on his right. It was a fine iron shield! After he lost his Radiant Shield, he went to look around the Alliances head auction house. However, with the amount of personal money he had left after feeding Hao Yue, all the good weapons seemed too expensive. It was so expensive that he left shortly after simply taking a few looks. An ordinary magic tier shield would cost up to a thousand gold. Even an alloy shield cost a hundred gold. Under this helpless situation, Long Hao Chen spent ten gold to buy his iron shield to improvise. He also spent twenty gold to buy a heavy sword that he stored in his forget-me-not ring. Right, he could only think of that after this final stage, when he would immediately hurry back to the Knight Temple to retrieve his prize for the preliminaries. The top 10 qualifiers could apparently all obtain a rare piece of equipment at the Spiritual Tier. If he sold this thing, he could pool enough money together to get him a set of Magic Tier equipment. He certainly wasnt going to ask his sister or his teacher for money. [Assault]! Against Wang Yuanyuan who was advancing from the air to attack him, Long Hao Chen used [Assault]. Naturally, he wasnt facing her head on, but was nking her sides with [Assault]. With increased speed, he barely avoided Wang Yuanyuans attack. _Bang_ The giant shield mmed into the ground violently, and the silver spiritual energy dissipated, creating a distorted ring of vibration, even though Wang Yuanyuans shield didnt only barely hit the ground. This strike wasparable in power to Long Hao Chens [Holy Sword] using [Light Thorn]. Although Long Hao Chen dodged Wang Yuanyuans attack, the dissipated silver spiritual energy nevertheless had an effect on Long Hao Chen, to the extent that after his initial assault, he couldnt follow up with another attack. Wang Yuanyuan continuously attacked, face unwavering. Suddenly she swung her shield towards Long Hao Chen, and immediately, chunks of yellow earth were spread into the air enveloping Long Hao Chen within. With a flick of Wang Yuanyuans wrist, therge shield flew straight towards Long Hao Chen. Producing humming noises, the air sounded like the ghastly grim reaper. This was an astonishing scene that could make anyone gasp in admiration. Long Hao Chen inclined the upper part of his body backwards, his waist seeming like it was almost about to snap off. Looking backwards, he could see that Wang Yuanyuans enormous shield, still producing these humming noises, flew above his head. At this moment, Long Hao Chen dashed off his right foot. Right now Wang Yuanyuan didnt have her shield, it was the best moment to strike. [Shield Charge], Long Hao Chen held his fine iron shield and made a beeline for Wang Yuanyuan. But at this moment, Wang Yuanyuans huge shield rotated and was returning. _Humph!_ Wang Yuanyuan coldly let out a groan, silvery light shed around her, as she advanced towards Long Hao Chen with no hesitation. To Long Hao Chens surprise, the huge shield had already returned to her hand in the next instant. The current situation had changed: two people carrying shields were now charging at each other. _Bang_ Long Hao Chen was knocked over five meters back, and under the intense vibration, the fine iron shield in his hand had already broken down into chunks of metal. His equipment was a real disappointment, but Long Hao Chen also discovered to his astonishment that even with the boost from Hao Yues blood to his external spiritual energy, when facing Wang Yuanyuan, he could not take a single advantage. He even suffered some losses. This young maiden was really strong! Because he had an appointment with Caier every day, Long Hao Chen didnt really observe any of Wang Yuanyuans fights. It immediately became clear to him that it was by relying on her own skills that this maiden had obtained seven victories up to now. _That silver colored spiritual energy, could it be that it contains spatial attribute?_ In that instant, Long Hao Chen understood. If it was not due to the spatial attribute, how could her shield return to her hand so abruptly? Long Hao Chen moved back, and Wang Yuanyuan also nked out a bit. At this point, their internal spiritual energy was pretty much exhausted. Their techniques were all on par with each other, the only differences were in their external spiritual energy and their equipment. Without a doubt, Long Hao Chens iron shield put him in a disadvantageous position. However, during the moment of their collision, Wang Yuanyaun felt that Long Hao Chen had the explosive force of a lion behind him. This explosive force was extremely ferocious, to the extent that she had to take half a step back as well, without being able to connect any techniques. If he had equipment with a status equal to her own, if he had not overpowered her, at least he wouldnt have flown back. Although those were her heartfelt feelings, she did not stop at that. She immediately charged towards the unstable Long Hao Chen and as the shield in her hand shed, three glows were actually created, covering Long Hao Chens body. Although Long Hao Chen only held a single sword, the brilliant shine in his eyes suddenly became brighter. After having tested his opponent through the previous exchange of blows, he came to understand Wang Yuanyuan a lot better than earlier. He was not going to hold back any longer. Suddenly, his me Sword shone in a dazzling light, and a sound escaped, as it aimed at Wang Yuanyuan who was preparing to strike with her shield once again. At the same time, hepleted a quiet incantation, and with his two hands grasping the sword, after a [Thorny Charge] immediately came a [Shining Sr Strike]. _BoomC_ [Shining Sr Strike] urately aimed at the three glows created by her shield, creating a violent colliding sound. This time, Wang Yuanyuan had certainlye out worse off. The two had about the same internal spiritual energy cultivation, but just now, he certainly dispersed the strength of her strike. However, her shields quality was certainly above the me Swords, as she was onlypelled to take a single step back. But this strike had also simultaneously given Long Hao Chen the opportunity to counterattack. With a lift of the left hand, his newly purchased fine iron sword appeared in his hand, and at the same time, the chant of his incantation was finallypleted. A one meter tall brilliant, floating light appeared at his back, as two wings opened up, giving him the appearance of an awe-inspiring angel. A ring of gold-colored light was emitted from the angel, dropping on Long Hao Chens body, and instantly, his entire body became covered in this golden color. Fifth step Guardian Knight skill, [Angelic Blessing]. This skill was something Ye Hua taught him recently, in thest few days, after his cultivation level broke through to the fifth step. [Angelic Blessing] wasnt a secret skill, but a skill all guardian knights of the fifth step were required to learn. It was extremely practical in realbat situations, because it was a ranged skill that could not only strengthen oneself, but partners inbat as well. In a situation where spiritual energy was constantly being depleted, it was possible to bestow light elemental essence onto all offensive and defensive skills without affecting/influencing their original quality. Although the light attribute amplification was inferior to [Holy Sword], its effects had an excellent range and duration. This skill was essential to a Guardian Knight and his team. Long Hao Chens me Sword and fine iron sword in his other hand were bestowed with a golden light. Under the effects of [Angelic Blessing], not only was his offensive power boosted, a significant protection was also provided to his equipment. If his me Sword was to suffer any damages, what weapon could he possibly use in his subsequent matches!? After being strengthened by [Angelic Blessing], the iron sword could just be barely on the same level as a magic weapon. [Pure White Edge], [Lightning Thrust]. Both swords exploded forward, as ten shing lights with unparalleled power were headed towards Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan didnt think that right after Long Hao Chens shield broke, he would switch to dual swords. Having not made enough preparations, she took a step back, using her huge shield to cover the front of her body,pletely sheltering it from any attack. Chapter 126 - Gigantic Divine Soul Shield (I)

Chapter 126: Gigantic Divine Soul Shield (I)

This was the result Long Hao Chen was aiming for! As his left foot set on the ground, he jumped up and, continuously making audible iron-like sounds, hepleted a [Lightning Thrust] with his Fire Sword, immediately followed by [Shining Sr Strike] once again. About to ruthlessly strike her heavy shield, he used jumping power and, to reinforce the power of his blow, aimed at Wang Yuanyuan from above. No good! Wang Yuanyuan was immediately rmed. What her heavy shield was the most suited for was attacking the enemy at close quarters, not receiving close quarters attacks. She wasnt good at all for defense, so when approached such in such a way by Long Hao Chen, her rhythm waspletely broken. Long Hao Chens [Shining Sr Strike] was heavy and full of power, leaving her with no other choice but take a step back to retreat. In this instant, Long Hao Chens [Condemning Revolving Sword] had already burst out. For Wang Yuanyuan to have stood out among the numerous warriors, her skills were more than that. Thisdys eyes had a deep and wide expression, and at this very moment, against all expectation, she didnt passively defend herself with the support of her dominatingrge shield, but suddenly lifted it upwards. Holding it with both hands instead of a single one, she stood on her tiptoes, starting to revolve around her original ce just like an enormous spinning top. An intense silvery light was instantly released all around from her enormous shield. [Space-Splitting Revolving Shield]! As the silver-colored radiance rippled all around, Long Hao Chen found out to his astonishment that against this rapidly rotating enormous shield releasing intense silvery light, his [Condemning Revolving Sword] was continuously sliding. Not only was he unable to disy the full might of his [Condemning Revolving Sword], but he was also totally unable to borrow power. Envy appeared in Long Hao Chens heart. This shield was a bit big, but it had an extremely good quality. The scene that appeared before them was extremely beautiful. Long Hao Chen and Wang Yuanyuan were both fighting by rotating their weapons horizontally. Both were resisting their opponent with all their might, standing upright in the ground and revolving. The golden and silver spiritual energy was frantically erupting, counteracting each other. The formidable burst power left the referee with no other choice but to approach, preparing to intervene at any times so as to prevent thepetitors from ending up seriously wounded. Long Hao Chen was in the middle of revolving, his body still releasing light dust all around. Under the effects of [Condemning Revolving Sword], and after having released [Faith Halo] and [Imposing Ring], his attack power was vastly increased. Being able to aplish such a feat was proof of how high his mental capacity was. Wang Yuanyuan seemed to be resisting Long Hao Chens attack, and her shield didnt sustain any damage. However, under this pressure, her two revolving feet were gradually subsiding, just like a spinning top that was drilling deeper and deeper in the ground. Ah! Wang Yuanyuan suddenly let out an ear-shrieking sound, as her hands kept hurriedly rotating, forming a silver shining pir with a diameter of a meter that abruptly exploded. Long Hao Chen wasnt caught off guard; his [Condemning Revolving Sword] ruthlessly kept attacking, as it was hit by an impacting from above. An extremely great force with extreme pressure was concentrated inside of that silver shining pir. Fortunately, his body was under the effect of the defensive support skill [Angelic Blessing], further adding the [Divine Light Mantle] that he released just in time to defend himself, enabling him to avoid any serious injuries. Pu , firmly nting his feet on the ground, Long Hao Chen backstepped four or five times in a row, and stood firm on the ground, though with difficulty. On the other side, Wang Yuanyuan also just jumped out from the hole she created in the ground. [Space-Splitting Saut], a formidable secret warrior skill with the spatial attribute and possessing an extremely tyrannical exploding power. Because Wang Yuanyuan was in an unfavorable defensive position, she couldnt disy the full might of this skill. But even in these circumstances, by relying on this strike and her [Space-Splitting Revolving Shield] she was able to break through Long Hao Chens [Condemning Revolving Sword]. However, Wang Yuanyuans current state wasnt so good either, and her face, brimming with heroic spirit, appeared quite pale, as she gasped with difficulty for breath. Simultaneously, her small chest that only started to develop recently was unceasingly moving up and down. Having used her two most formidable skills, the consumption of her spiritual energy was simrly extremely great. In the aspect of consumption, Long Hao Chen who possessed his physique as a Scion of Light was a lot better off. The fact that he managed to maintain his [Angel Blessing] was a clear proof of it. Are you a Retribution Knight? Wang Yuanyuan looked at Long Hao Chen with an unconvinced face. Long Hao Chen lightly shook his head and answered, I can use some skills belonging to both Guardian and Retribution Knights. Wang Yuanyuan, still gasping for breath, said, Apparently, in regr circumstances, theres no way I can be a match for you. However, I will not concede. I am going all out, so summon your mount as well. With this trashy equipment of yours, you cannot possibly contend against my Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. In regard to her equipment, it seemed that she was in a great advantage. However, when a moment ago, they collided in session, she had already consumed more than half of her spiritual energy. In contrast, from Long Hao Chens appearance, it looked like he didnt consume much, if not any, of his. This [Condemning Revolving Sword] of his had as its signature borrowing force, so his own consumption was very small. But the two great offensive skills of his opponent consumed a great amount of spiritual energy As she spoke, she flipped over her left hand, instantly taking out a huge gem. Filled with spatial spiritual energy, this gem in her hand shone in an intense silver color, producing an intense glitter. Without hesitating the slightest bit, she immediately inserted this gem in the first of the nine cavities on her shield. Then, she took out two other gems at an extremely fast speed, and inserted them in the second and the third cavities. These gems looked like they were identical. They were entirely faint-gold-colored, but this wasnt the gold color corresponding to the holy attribute, but a faintly red pure gold color. After the first gem was inserted, a seemingly endless mighty and arrogant aura seemed to fill that huge shield, spreading a pure-gold-colored light all around. This dignified presence seemed like that of a sovereign king controlling a whole generation. And the aura was so dense that his glory seemed to cover countless years of history. Far away, the six main supervisors in responsibility for the six great temples simultaneously got up, their eyes taking a shocked expression. Long Hao Chen was sure that he had no idea what this could be, but how could these elders be unaware? This aura, this aura was clearlying from 6,000 to 13,000 years in the past, from one of the formidable weapon-type pieces of equipment possessing a magnificent aura retained from the glorious era! From the might of that aura and its undtions, this piece of equipment had at least reached the peak of Glorious Tier, only a step away from the Legendary Tier. And at that moment, Wang Yuanyuan had only inserted three gems out of nine. What would happen if she did so with all nine? Wouldnt this shield exceed the Legendary Tier, to fall into the Epic Tier? Together with the embedding of the three gems, a fantastic mask emerged on the immense shield. That mask looked extremely sinister, enveloped by a pure-gold colored cover. It was formed of five colors: red, yellow, white, blue, and grey. An intense pressure was being scattered all over by this face. Before it, Long Hao Chen felt as if that vigorous face was releasing some sort of immaterial attack at his body unceasingly Wang Yuanyuan held her immense shield, slowing raising it up, and suddenly, a brilliant pure-gold light surrounded her body. Wang Yuanyuan did not wear any armor; after being surrounded by the brilliant pure gold light, it didnt matter whether it was her skin or her clothes, everything was overflowing with this mysterious light. A sort of savage allure broke out from her body. Long Hao Chens awareness far exceeded that of a normal person, so he could clearly sense that Wang Yuanyuan was umting iparable, tyrannical explosive spiritual energy on her body and she could activate a fatal strike at any moment. Forehead radiating purple light, nine purple glows of light illuminated, and without the need of an incantation, Long Hao Chen pointed forward with his right hand, and the purple light on his forehead expanded, light shing. At this moment, Hao Yue suddenly appeared in front of him. Seeing the three-headed Hao Yue, there was a twinkle in Wang Yuanyuans eyes. She knew that this was Long Hao Chens full power, but she was also at her strongest right now. It was not that she didnt want to embed more precious gems on her shield, but she only inherited three of these precious gems. I am the inheritor of this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield; this shield is a family weapon passed down from my deceased grandfather that he used during his glory days. Although right now I cannot unleash its full strength, my Enormous Soul Shield is close to a piece of equipment at the Legendary Tier in terms of status. Be careful. After speaking, Wang Yuanyuan repeatedly stomped the ground with her right foot, and with a loud bang, the entire stadium shook violently. Her entire body was already covered in a pure gold me while dashing straight towards Long Hao Chen. The first possessor of this so-called family weapon dictated that only direct descendants could inherit it. Regardless of the strength of this type of weapon, it was priceless on the market. After all, no matter how good the equipment is, if you cannot use it, it is nothing more than decoration. It was clearly visible that the ground Wang Yuanyuan previously stomped caved in a meter and had a diameter of 1.5 meters: her stomp clearly contained a lot of strength. Against the Gigantic Divine Soul Shields tyrannical force, Hao Yue acted like he didnt feel anything. Three heads were lifted and simultaneously roared. Long Hao Chen had extremely deep connections with him; his body shed, and immediately, he jumped on Hao Yues back. Under the effects of [Angelic Blessing], Hao Yue was also covered in a faint golden light. With a wave of the Fire Sword in his right hand, [Light Thorn] went straight for Wang Yuanyuan. Hao Yues four-meter-long body seemed very nimble, because Little Green spewed out a mouthful of green air, [Float]. It had the effect of reducing his own weight, allowing him to bring Long Hao Chen to a height of 6.5 meters in a single leap. Wang Yuanyuan lifted the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield horizontally with both of her hands. In the instant she met [Light Thorn], a strange scene appeared: [Light Thorn] was instantly broken into specks of gold light, disappearing in the air. In the moment of contact, Long Hao Chen was able to clearly feel the Gigantic Divine Soul Shields incredible speed that was indistinguishable by the naked eye, as it violently vibrated in an extremely small area. It was by these vibrations that [Light Thorn] was broken Wang Yuanyuan advanced in pursuit of Hao Yue as she hacked down with her heavy shield. As soon as Hao Yues three heads came out, they started to chant, looking at Wang Yuanyuans powerful attacks, as three were radiances almost simultaneously spread out from Hao Yues body, forming three elemental shields. Chapter 127 - Gigantic Divine Soul Shield (II)

Chapter 127: Gigantic Divine Soul Shield (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The green color was for wind, the red color for fire, and the golden color for light. On these three elemental shields, there was additionally the holy attributeing from [Angel Blessings]. Long Hao Chen held his two swords before him as his figure instantly congealed, it was [Divine Obstruction]. Wang Yuanyuan was currently extremely fast, and Hao Yue had absolutely no way to dodge her attack. But Long Hao Chen still chose to meet her head-on, because he wanted to try out the offensive power of this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield that had reached such a level. BoomCBoomCBoomCDangC These four sessive explosive sounds shook the whole audience. Unexpectedly, these three elemental shields could only stop this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield for a bit, before shattering to pieces. In the final moment, it fiercely struck the two intersected swords positioned at the top of Long Hao Chens head. Long Hao Chens whole body waspletely shaken by the impact, as a golden radiance covered his body, it was [Bright Vengeance]. Below him, Hao Yue took a few steps back, leaving deep footprints. The fine iron heavy sword waspletely shattered to pieces, and although the Fire Sword didnt break down, from the bending, looking at its current state, it looked like it wouldnt be very effective any more. Long Hao Chens hands turned into a sort of blur. His blood was rolling over and over, as he narrowly avoided being injured. It could be said that even with his perfect coordination with Hao Yue, this blow was extremely hard to block. _So powerful! With such a power, it should exceed 500 kg!_ When colliding with this blow, Long Hao Chen was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. However this disadvantage came with apensation. Through this collision of the most direct type possible, he started to gain some understanding in regard to Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. First, these vibrations wereing from a supplementary abilitying together with the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Without this ability, it wouldnt have been easy for it to break through those three elemental shields. Secondly, the greatest characteristic of this shield was its power. If he were to onlypare his external spiritual energy with Wang Yuanyuans, he would be the winner without the slightest doubt. This was just how mighty this weapon of hers was. However, from the looks of it, it wasnt a walk in the park for Wang Yuanyuan to handle this shield either. In the instant they collided, her face was clearly somewhat flushed. And afterwards, when that huge shield repelled Long Hao Chen back, directly smashing him on the ground, and without leaving any traces on it, the power she had to exert was far from something as light as previously, when she just moved and attacked mechanically. Clearly, with her actual level of cultivation, to n to use this shield would not be easy. At this moment, the dominance of a knight appeared clearly. Long Hao Chens arms both turned numb, and his weapons were damaged, but Hao Yue wasnt the slightest bit wounded. And when Long Hao Chen used [Divine Obstruction] to block this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, Hao Yues body was still standing straight, reinforcing Long Hao Chen by dispelling a part of the power of her attack. Compelled to draw a few steps back, Hao Yue took advantage of the fact that Wang Yuanyuan had justunched an attack with her shield, and with a shake of his body, he immediately arrived beside Wang Yuanyuan. As his robust tail swept, aiming straight for Wang Yuanyuans legs, he simultaneouslyunched arge amount of [Fireballs] and [Wind des] straight at Wang Yuanyuan. In particr, he aimed for her two hands that held the shield. Little Light immediately followed up with an incantation, it was the spiritual replenishment technique [Radiant World] that he released once again, replenishing Long Hao Chens spiritual energy. Wang Yuanyuans consumption wasnt small. It was not the first time she used this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, but what she forgot was that in the past, when she used it, her internal spiritual energy was a lot more abundant from the beginning. And after her repeated shes with Long Hao Chen, her consumption was already enormous. After she just relied on this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield tounch this previous attack, she discovered that she did not have enough internal spiritual energy left in her current state to remain inplete control of the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. And when facing Hao Yues extremely rapid attacks, it went to the extent that she was already in a flurry. Holding horizontally this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, Wang Yuanyuan tried to hide herself behind her shield, and as expected, before this Gigantic Divine Soul Shields might, these ordinary spells were all repealed. She indeed managed to do so. Little me and Little Greens powerful magic spells were all obliterated by these high frequency vibrations of the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. However, Hao Yue was extremely sly; these spells were onlyunched for the sake of distracting Wang Yuanyuan. Below, hisrge tail was rolled up around Wang Yuanyuans leg, suddenly pulling her backwards. Although Wang Yuanyuan was under the amplification effect of her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, Hao Yue was in no way weak either in terms of strength. More importantly, he used his full power to drag her, who was inparison in an extremely panicked state. The result immediately appeared out of this. Wang Yuanyuans soft body was trained extremely well: even with this pull flipping her back with an extremely flexible splitting movement, she still wanted to drag her shield and to use it to strike Hao Yues tail. However, Long Hao Chen didnt give her this opportunity. At the same moment Hao Yueunched his move, Long Hao Chen had received the effects of Little Lights skill, [Radiant World], and as his spiritual energy was being replenished at an astonishing speed, the numbness in his arms also disappeared gradually. Little me and Little Green had released this magic not only to hide the attack with their tail, but also to conceal Long Hao Chens soaring figure. _PAMC_ Long Hao Chen appeared behind Wang Yuanyuan, and as a little de was stuck at her neck, she only felt as though the scene had turned dark, and immediately passed out. Naturally, she had no way to pull this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield together with her. Holding Wang Yuanyuan who had fainted, Long Hao Chen still felt some lingering fear towards this huge shield beside him. He knew that if Wang Yuanyuan released more of the power of this shield, the one who would have lost would perhaps have been him. After all, he wouldnt possibly let Hao Yue stake his life in a fight against this shield. However, in the end, an unanimated item remained an unanimated item. Even though this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was currently close to the level of equipment at the Legendary Tier, it needed someone to wield it. And for these reasons, the assistance Hao Yue brought to Long Hao Chen was a lot greater. The advantages of their contract of equals in addition to their blood contract appeared even more clearly here. The connection between their minds was a lot greater, and each of them could feel everything, even a single thought,ing from the other party. This brought them an extreme advantage in regard to their coordination and matching in the middle of fights. Although he had beaten Wang Yuanyuan, Long Hao Chen didnt look so good. In this match, all the equipment he possessed had beenpletely destroyed. There wasnt a single piece of it left. Surely, in the higher stage of thepetition, other items at the level of this Gigantic Divine Soul Shield were going to appear; this was the level of the formidable pieces of equipments Long Hao Chen was going to confront during his uing fights. However, he didnt have any money! How could he possibly purchase equipment? After entering thepetition between the top 16, with such a disadvantage in regard to equipment, how would he confront the otherpetitors? Hao Yue had grown a third head, and Long Hao Chen himself had broken through to the fifth step. This gave him enough confidence to aim for the top three. Victor, Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen applied a [Holy Mantle] that illuminated Wang Yuanyuans body. He hadnt attacked too seriously, so after a little rest, Wang Yuanyuan had alreadye back to her senses. Leaping up, she looked at Long Hao Chen, still seemingly unconvinced, and with a snort, said, If I had used my Gigantic Divine Soul Shield from the beginning, you would not have been a match for me! As she said this, she retrieved the three gems in her shield. Long Hao Chen nodded with an understanding look, You are right, however, victory or defeat isnt something that can be predicted. Looking at you, it seems that you cannotpletely control this shield. It just has a too great consumption for you. As long as I canst for some time, it will still be very hard for you to win. As Wang Yuanyuan knew that he was entirely right, she nodded in return, and said, You are right. But just wait, I will definitely enter the top 16 together with you! While speaking, this intrepiddy supported herself with the help of her huge shield, as she headed back to the lounge, directly looking at the mage inside. Huang Yis current face was quite an ugly sight to behold. Hisst opponent was precisely this Wang Yuanyuan, and the winner would be ranked second of this group. Although the third ce also had the possibility of staying in thepetition, who would be okay with leaving his fate under someone elses control?! Wang Yuanyuans previous disy of might was proof that she wouldnt. Huang Yi, full of grief and indignation, thought _Cant you be a bit less ferocious?!_ The fact that a piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier came out had just made the rest moreplicated for him. _Can I really make it?_ The might of this huge shield was enough to cancel out the advantage and dominance his spiritual stove brought him. After all, his Earth Elemental Fairy had yet to have its first evolution. At the end of this fight, Long Hao Chen was already officially qualified. And he finished in first ce of his group, taking the lead over the others while entering the top 16. After sending Hao Yue back to his hotel room, Long Hao Chen left the stadium,pletely depressed. _I dont have any more weapons, what can I do about it, now?_ However, this worry quickly disappeared from his heart. Caier, today, its once again you who arrived first! Long Hao Chen met her with a smiling face: everytime he saw her, he immediately forgot everything else. Although Caier had always been wearing her veil after that time, and didnt let him see her appearance again, Long Hao Chen never raised the issue by requesting her to let him see it once again after that. Taking fast steps and arriving at Caiers side, Long Hao Chen took her small hand very naturally. Hearing his voice, Caiers look, particrly the shape of her eyebrows, became immediately and clearly very gentle, as she said quietly, Has todays match gone smoothly once again? Long Hao Chen gentlyughed, and replied, It was okay, but the opponent I faced today was very powerful! It was a female warrior. Her shield was extremely hard to deal with. She used it as an offensive weapon, and could even use some gems to increase her power, and said it was some Gigantic Divine Soul heirloom. This previous fight brought a lot of experience to Long Hao Chen, so it was somewhat excitedly that he talked to her about how the fight against Wang Yuanyuan took ce. But he didnt bring up the issue of the damaging of his weapons. It was for the single reason that he didnt want to make her worry about him. As long as you won, its okay. Then you are already the first ranked of your group. Caier said with a smile. Long Hao Chen nodded, and said, Thats right! Only, I dont know what kind of opponents Ill fight in the knockoutpetition. Right, we got to know each other for so long a time already, but except from taking you home, I have done almost nothing else with you, how about At that point, he made a pause and stopped holding Caiers hand, as he leaned close enough to Caier to see her facial expression. If Caier was in a hurry to go back home, he wouldnt bring up the issue about inviting her for a meal. However, Caier misunderstood him. With a soft whoosh sound, her face, still covered by a veil, was dyed deeply in red, as her heartbeat suddenly sped up! Even in her capacity as an assassin, she had never felt in such a panic as right now. Yes, they were young, but in regard to matters between males and females, girls tended to be quite more precocious than boys. 1. refers likely to the day she took it off/didnt bring it after wrecking the hell out of Yang Wenzhao.

Chapter 128: Gigantic Divine Soul Shield (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales _He What does he want us to do?_ _Does he want to look at my face? Or does he want to hug me? Or else, does he does he_ Caiers mind was already inplete disorder, as she was already sweating under the grip of Long Hao Chens small hand. Noticing the sudden great changes in her expression, Long Hao Chen felt quite scared, as he hurriedly rubbed her forehead with one of his hands. Caier couldnt see, and for this reason, her perception of the external world was quite vague. At the moment Long Hao Chen came into contact with her forehead, she unconsciously took a few steps back, crying out in surprise, Ahhh, dont. After all, she hadnt prepared mentally yet! At that moment, there were some small stone steps not far behind her. Retreating in panic, her feet got caught into it, and she was about to fall backwards. Long Hao Chens heart, scared, skipped a bit: although he totally didnt understand what happened to Caier, he still unconsciously took a step forward, and held her slim waist in his embrace, supporting her lovely body with his hands. Be careful. Caier was now so bashful that even her neck had turned red. She could clearly feel Long Hao Chens embrace on her waist and the warmth of his hands, as well as his breath, in such a short distance. In her capacity as an assassin, she spent most of her childhood in training, making her senses especially sharp, because it was the only way for her to sense hidden danger. But now, it was her heart that appeared especially shy, her body turned numb, and her legs could almost not stay steady at all. One of her hands grabbed Long Hao Chenspel, and her mind waspletely nk. Long Hao Chen was currentlypletely stunned too. The weather was quite hot, so everyone was wearing light clothes. So when he held Caiers slim and soft waist in his arms, he only felt a creamy satin from her skin, a jade-like sensation, and afortable warmth. Most of all, he felt as if this slender waist of hers could break off at any time; below her waist was the touching figure of her beautiful arced buttock, and her neat face waspletely flushed. A few seconds passed, but to them, they seemed as long as several centuries. Betterte than never, Caier took the initiative to react. Hurriedly straightening her back, she moved her bamboo cane horizontally, using it to finally obstruct Long Hao Chen, as she coldly said, sounding somewhat displeased, You you Long Hao Chen nked out for a few seconds and said, Caier, are you all right? I I only wanted to invite you to have a meal together. What is up with you? Do you feel sick? Is it a fever? Your face is so red It was now Caiers turn to stare nkly. _So actually Actually, he only wanted And actually, the one who had devious thoughts was me_ Her blushing face didnte back to normal, but instead, it blushed even further. Caier used her bamboo cane to lightly tap on Long Hao Chens body, as she barked to him in a low voice, Meanie. I am going back first. Who wants to eat with you? Finishing her sentence, her bamboo cane tapped on the ground, and Long Hao Chen only saw her body sh, and in a split second, the reflections of her silhouette disappearedpletely. _What a fast shifting! The speed of an assassin is really something enviable. However, what happened to Caier? Why did she call me a meanie?!!_ Long Hao Chen stood there stupefied for a moment, then walked back to his hotel, puzzled. With his sharp perception, he could feel that Caier wasnt really angry at him. What he couldnt understand was why it felt like she was fleeing when walking away. However, earlier, when he caught her, it felt really good; the sensation he had when embracing her waist was especiallyfortable. He felt a bit reluctant to wash his hands today. Long Hao Chen returned to the hotel. Before even entering his room, he heard Ye Huas voice from the neighbouring room, Hao Chen,e. How did teacher know I returned? Long Hao Chen was nervous. He hurried to Ye Huas room, opening the door and entered. There wasnt just one person in Ye Huas room: apart from him, there were two more. An elder with white hair and a beard was seated upright before him, and a youth stood behind him. He recognized this youth: it was precisely that arrogant person he met that day, but had never seen again since then, Han Yu. Although Ye Hua sat there, it felt like he was incredibly respectful. He was only seated on half of the chair; it was the first time Long Hao Chen saw this side of Ye Hua. Knowing his teacher, this was certainly a behaviour he could only show when speaking from the bottom of his heart. _Whos this old man? Han Yus rtive? Was it because of that day, when he said he would be my retainer knight, that he came to find me?_ Long Hao Chens heart suddenly chilled, but nevertheless, he said nothing, slowly going behind Ye Huas seat to take his ce. Han Yu naturally saw him as well. Only, right now, Han Yus facial expression was very serene and there wasnt the slightest trace of the arrogance from before. The elder sitting across from Ye Hua, wasnt he precisely the Saint Knight Head of the Knight Alliance, Han Qian? Looking at Long Hao Chen, his eyes shone, brimming with a smile, as he said, Ye Hua, you fostered such a good apprentice. Originally I nned to have you convey my message to him, but since he returned this early, it seems that it will not be necessary. Hao Chen, did todays match go smoothly? Hearing his voice, Long Hao Chen suddenly widened his eyes. His perception was good, as good as his memory, so although this voice was at that moment quite gentle, he was immediately able tell from his previous memory who that profound voice belonged to. Mister Arent you the Saint Knight Head who appeared on stage during the Knights Preliminaries? Long Hao Chen let these words slip out of his mouth. Han Yan said with a wide smile, Exactly! It is quite impressive that you remembered my voice. Ye Hua shot a nce at Long Hao Chen, You still havent answered senior Saint Knights first question yet. Long Hao quickly and respectfully said: I won my match today by a fluke. Fluke? Han Qian, astonished, looked at him. So there are still people in your group that can make you rely on luck? What a surprise! Long Hao Chen nodded, then, using his own experience of the battle with Wang Yuanyuan, he exined the situation once in a simple fashion, putting emphasis on describing Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield Epic equipment. Han Qians facial colour hardened, eyebrows slightly raised Ive heard of the Gigantic Divine Soul heirloom before; so their blood has still been passed on until now. To humanity, this is an extremely good thing. It seems that in the near future, this youngdy will be the focus of the Warrior temples nurturing. I can ascertain that the Gigantic Divine Soul heirloom equipments are all at least of epic tier quality. However, I dont remember at all whether during the glory days, there was a shield among the Gigantic Divine Soul. It looks like the youngdys Gigantic Divine Soul Shield is a broken weapon. Even so, if she can embed all the nine cavities, its still inevitable that this shield will reach the epic tier. This type of nine-hole-embed resonating spiritual energy field method has long been lost. This Saint Knight Head was really experienced; even Ye Hua could notpare to him in terms of knowledge. Not bad, not bad, even against this type of equipment you still managed to win, bringing glory to our Knight Temple. Han Qian nodded in satisfaction. Little Hao Chen! The purpose of meing this time was to find you. Im not going to hide it from you, this seniors name is Han Qian, and Han Yu is my grandson. However, during this Demon Hunt Selectionpetition, this stinking grandson disappointed me so much. That day, I let him pay respect to you: it was really sincerely that he asked to be your retainer knight. Today, I brought him. I have alreadypleted the procedure for him to be a retainer knight. From now on till five yearster, he is your retainer. His life, his entire life, will bepletely under your control. Little Yu. He hinted towards his grandson. Han Yu hurriedly advanced a few steps, bowed slightly, extending his left hand. Long Hao Chen looked at him, astonished. On Han Yus left hand, there was a trace of a mark, a mark he didnt recognize. Han Qian said: This is a retainer knights contract,sting five years. You have to drop a single drop of blood in the center of the contract mark. After the contract, and for five years, he will not be able to disobey any orders from you. At the same time, you will only need a single thought to control his life. Long Hao Chen looked at the serious appearance of Han Yan, and he could not help but say: Saint Knight Head, theres no need. I think brother Han Yu was just a bit careless at that moment. Han Qian hurriedly stood up, and said in a serious voice: How could he happen to be careless at such a time? This child has some innate talents, but his attitude has some serious defects. Hes proud, arrogant, unruly, and cannot take any responsibility. You are different, I can see a knights glory and honour on you. Dont think there will be no benefit for him upon bing your retainer knight. As a matter of fact, he will actually gain quite a lot. Following you will not only enable him to be part of a Demon Hunt Squad, but by your side, he will also be able to learn a lot of things. Perhaps these five years of rough times will finally make him walk on the right track to be an outstanding knight, This is my main aim. So, as his grandfather, I beg you, please let him be your retainer. While persuading, Han Yus right fist was across his chest, as he performed a knight salute towards Long Hao Chen. Long Hao Chen was startled, quickly replied, Senior Saint Knight Head, dont behave this way, I dont deserve it. Ill just agree. Ye Hua, on the side, didnt utter a single word from start to end. Han Qian was not at all scared to speak out, candid and straightforward, about his desire for Han Yu to be Long Hao Chens retainer knight, without any idea of concealing anything. Just this single thing was enough to convince people. Whats more, with a fifth step knight beside him, Long Haos safety would increase greatly. Bright red blood slowly dripped out into the center of the retainer knights contract mark. Although Han Yu had already thought about this situation; that he had to be someone elses retainer until the moment, he still could not help but shut both his eyes. Blood dripped into the center of Han Yus palm and, a momentter, disappeared, turning into red light that spread out from the mark, extending through Han Yus entire body. Han Yu reflexively shivered, subconsciously opening both eyes, without even greeting his master, Long Hao Chen. Suddenly, from the center of that mark, a gold light also spread out. In an instant, Han Yu only felt that the 360 thousand pores on his body opened, inside and out, warming his entire body. His entire body felt like the center of a hot spring burning, almost letting out a groaning sound. _What is this?_ Not only Ye Hua and Long Hao Chen, but even Han Qian was a bit scared. Even if he was the Saint Knight Head, it was the first time he saw this strange situation. Han Yu himself was a bit stupefied, but thisfort was not fake; he could feel that between him and Long Hao Chen there was already a distinct connection. It felt like they became family rtives. Chapter 129 - Innate Talent Sharing! (I)

Chapter 129: Innate Talent Sharing! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This is this the phenomenon of innate talent sharing of the master knight to his retainer knight? Impossible! Han Qian looked at Long Hao Chen, eyes wide opened, just as if he was looking at a monster. The uprehending and astounded look on his face had never been so distinct before. Taking a deep breath, Han Qian looked at the body of his own grandson, Han Yu, his face bing very serious. As he waved his right hand toward Han Yu, after a split second, Long Hao Chen saw that Han Qians finger was emitting a sparkling, translucent and prating gold color. It was [Brilliant Body], a skill of knights of the seventh step. Han Qians hand was shivering; his five fingers moved rhythmically, mystical bright symbols moving in a mysterious trajectory, undting around his hand. Immediately, it turned intoplicated patterns, directly marked on Han Yus chest. Immediately, Han Yus body shivered and, on his chest, a golden glow appeared, slowly rising in the air and turning into a pir of light that kept rising and rising. Han Qians gaze was still firmly focused on this pir of light, his look bing even more and more excited. Ye Hua and Long Hao Chen looked at a loss, not understanding at all the scene before their eyes. They did not understand this ability Han Qian had just used, nor did theyprehend what was happening before them. After a short period of time, the golden pir of light finally stopped rising. And Han Yus two hands were still unconsciously clenched. Really, so its really this way. 80, 80th level! Finally turning back, Han Qian looked one more time at Long Hao Chen, with an incredulous look. Sizing him up and down, he looked at him as if he was a sort of rare treasure. Long Hao Chen felt a bit ufortable under this gaze and couldnt help but ask, Senior Saint Knight Head, did something happen? Han Qian took a deep breath, and with a wave of his right hand, a golden mantle immediately covered the whole room and everything within it, including them. His next words left both master and disciple, Ye Hua and Long Hao Chen,pletely shocked. Little Hao Chen, ah, Little Hao Chen, you are really unceasingly shocking me to the extreme limit! Innate internal spiritual energy, 97! Scion of Light! I didnt expect that after the start of this Dark Age that urred 6000 years ago, our Knight Temple would finally produce a Scion of Light. Haha! Hahaha! Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua werepletely shocked and they looked at each other without exchanging a single word, seemingly simultaneously being prepared for a fight. However, the one before them was precisely the senior Saint Knight Head from their Knight Temple! It meant that he was an enormous powerhouse that could cope with the both of them effortlessly. Furthermore, they didnt believe that this Han Qian would have bad intentions towards them. You How do you know about this? Long Hao Chen, stillpletely nk, asked. The other party had already spoke out the exact amount, so there was no use to try concealing it further; he might as well ask an exnation. Han Qian could already not calm down at all and his eyes carried an excited raging me in them as he said, It is precisely the retainer knight contract that exposed this. A retainer knight and his master knight are very intimately rted. To make an agreement, theres a need for both parties blood vessels to share a connection. As a result, a drop of your blood is needed and, during thepletion of the retainer knight contract, if the master knights innate talent outstrips that of the retainer knight by a wide margin, the retainer knights innate talent will increase to some extent. And after the end of this contract, this increase of innate talent will ordingly disappear. This so called outstrip applies if theres a certain difference between them; it is this innate talent sharing I mentioned previously. This difference is represented by a gap between the innate internal spiritual energies exceeding 30. In other words, as long as the master knights innate internal spiritual energy is more than 30 levels higher than his retainer knights, the retainer knights innate talent will ordingly be promoted. The degree of this promotion equals half the gap between the innate internal spiritual energies. Little Yus innate internal spiritual energy is at the 63rd level and, at this level, its already not bad at all. However, now, it has increased to the 80th level! It means a difference of 34pared to his 63rd innate level. From this, your innate level can naturally be deduced. Its 97, a spiritual energy at the 97th level! I really didnt expect that, in my lifetime, I would get to see someone with the physique of a Scion of Light appear. Long Hao Chen and Ye Hua bothughed foolishly in front of Han Qian. Ye Hua murmured, How How is it that I have never heard about these benefits of a retainer knight contract? Han Qian said, Retainer knight contracts are originally few in number and, in addition, I am the only one capable of producing this innate talent sharing effect that I discovered through my researches in regards to ancientnguages. Without need to mention you, even the higher-ups of the Knight Temple have no way to know about this method. Furthermore, this method is so useless to the overwhelming majority of people that there is naturally no necessity to spread it to our Knight Temple. Hearing about this sharing method, Ye Hua could naturally not stop his body from shaking as he asked in a thrilled voice, Senior Saint Knight Head, how.. how many retainer knights can one master knight possess through this method? Han Qian gave his reply without hesitating the slightest bit, The limit would be two. It is because this method involves a spiritual link; if there are too many retainers, that will naturally influence the mental capacity of the master knight and have unfavorable effects on it. As a result, Id say that, from our knowledge, the absolute limit would be two retainer knights. With a deferential sound, Long Hao Chen immediately kneeled down, Senior Saint Knight, I beg you, please let Teacher aplish a contract through your method. Teacher is a real genius! Hearing this, Han Qian was immediately startled. To the side, the stirred up Ye Hua looked directly at Long Hao Chen, Dont, Hao Chen. If you do this, because of me, you will have no way to obtain another retainer knight ever again. Long Hao Chen stubbornly shook his head, Teacher, the most important thing is for you to be truly powerful. To have Brother Han assisting me is already enough for me. As long as he can help you to raise this innate talent of yours, this disciple will have no regrets. Wait, wait. How is it that I have no idea about what youre currently speaking of? Han Qian gave puzzled looks to both master and disciple. Ye Hua sighed to himself, before reverentially answering, Senior Saint Knight Head, this subordinate has an innate internal spiritual energy that is only at the eighth level. What? Han Qian cried out in rm with a very loud voice, making the ears of both Long Hao Chen and his master dizzy. It was fortunate that this divine light that was covering them was sound-proof, so the sound would not spread to others. Han Qians rmed state was for real. This reaction was not the slightest bit lowerpared to when he learned about Long Hao Chens innate internal spiritual energy level of 97. What did an eighth spiritual energy imply? It should imply that there was no way to break through the second step! However However, he didnt only break through it, he was furthermore an Earth Knight! In this instant, Han Qian instantly came to understand why Long Hao Chen said Ye Hua was a real genius. Genius was not all about innate talent. For someone whose innate internal spiritual energy only reached the eighth level to be able to reach the level of Earth Knight, to persevere so much, relying on perseverance and research, would the word genius be enough to describe it? Taking a deep breath, Han Qian gave Ye Hua a firm look, How much effort did you have to exert to make up for this handicap? Ye Hua smiled bitterly, Innate internal spiritual at the eighth level is nothing glorious; its only subject to ridicule. Ridicule? Bullshit! Idiot, how many people with an innate internal spiritual energy below you do you think there are among humans? The overwhelming majority, at least! If they could all reach the level of powerhouse of the fifth step through training just like you, do you know what that would imply for humanity? Han Qian seemed almost to be howling. In this instant, Ye Hua was immediately shocked. This life of his was only about effort and battles against the heavens. The ridicule he was subject to in this world had developed his reclusive personality. To put it in other words, he had be totally self-centered, living only in his own world. Hearing Han Qians words, he immediately came to understand that these dozens of years of bitter and unceasing training were actually his force. And, although the personal training methods he came up with through researches and struggles werent really fitting to a little freak like Long Hao Chen, it could be said to be fitting to the overwhelming majority of people with insufficient innate talents. With a lift of Han Qians hand, a golden light came out from the ground, sticking to Long Hao Chen, I ept your request. Right now, I look forward, even more than you, to the kind of miracle this teacher of yours will create. Ye Hua, extend your left hand. Yes. Ye Hua was at that moment very respectful, just as if he was actually Long Hao Chens disciple. This matter of innate talent hadpletely broken his life.. but this was finally going to change! Ten minutester, a mark simr to the one on Han Yus hand appeared on Ye Huas. Ye Hua and Long Hao Chen did not even need to discuss the matter of retainer knight. They were master and disciple, with a rtion akin to that of a father and son. Yes, Ye Hua was going to be Long Hao Chens retainer knight, but so what? Would he use this to give Ye Hua orders? With their rtion of master and disciple, there was already an absolute confidence between them. Evenmunication was needless for each of them to make decisions for the sake of each other. Another drop of blood fell. Ye Huas senses were almost tenfold sharper than this Han Yus. As soon as the golden halo surrounded his body, his body convulsed with an excessivelyfortable feeling, as if he was on the verge of fainting. The difference between his spiritual energy and Long Hao Chens was 89, so after the innate talent sharing, his innate internal spiritual energy was going to be increased to the 52nd level! Although, as before, it wouldnt make him a genius in this regard, to Ye Hua, this increase of innate talent was going to cause his fate to change drastically! Feeling his perception of the light element increasing by leaps and bounds, feeling the changes that urred in the internal spiritual energy inside of him and the changes in his innate capabilities, Ye Hua couldnt help but let his tears overflow. While holding Long Hao Chen in his embrace, he unexpectedly burst into tears. Starting from dozens of years ago, he had to bear the inexhaustible mocking of others, bear the pain of being expelled by his very own teacher, bearing anything and everything. He walked with an unyielding mentality that supported each of his steps. The burdens of this moment hadsted for dozens of years. Over these dozens of years, he was engaged in endless fights against these burdens. And, at this very moment, the dozens of feelings that were repressed in his heart started to flow out like an inexhaustible waterfall breaking out all of a sudden. Looking at Ye Hua who was crying very loudly, Han Qian stood on the side without intervening the slightest bit. With his professional behaviour and experience, how couldnt he guess what kind of feelings were repressed inside Ye Hua over so many years? To let him release it all at once was the best choice possible. Letting everythinge out of the depth of his heart, this would have an enormous benefit for his future cultivation. Although he wasnt young anymore, in regard to cultivation, his future aplishments were going to be boundless. Chapter 130 - Innate Talent Sharing! (II)

Chapter 130: Innate Talent Sharing! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales No matter how boundless the Scion of Lights prospects were, he was in the end a single person and nothing more. However, Ye Huas abilities could, on the other hand, certainly help all of the six Temples. Ye Hua wept for fifteen minutes straight, until his eyes were red, and made Long Hao Chens clothespletely wet. With great difficulty, he managed to gradually stop his emotions. Turning around, he let out a sound as he kneeled before Han Qian, respectfully standing in front of him, Senior Saint Knight Head, I give you my thanks. Han Qian smiled, shaking his head and said: Dont mention it. If youre okay with it, there is no need for you to return to Hao Yue City. In the future, you can just follow me. This old man would like to pass all his years of experience of training and cultivation to you. Ye Hua was pretty smart. In terms of intelligence, he was a genius like one that appeared once every generation. Quickly kneeling once again, he replied immediately, This apprentice respectfully meets master. Han Qian chuckled, and said, supporting him up with both his hands, The one whos taking advantage of the other is this old man. In the future, you will inevitably be one of the dazzling new stars of our Knight Temple, and your aplishments will surely not make you below your treasured apprentice. Long Hao Chen paid respects to his teacher, before hurriedly stepping forward, respectfully saying: Apprentice Long Hao Chen pays respects to grand-teacher. Han Qian let out acent sound; he had a straightforward disposition, and immediatelyughed out loudly. As Han Yu, who was standing beside him, looked at this scene, the doubt in his heart hadpletely vanished. Without even needing to mention the fact that his master knight was his grandfathers grand-disciple, Long Hao Chen today had also raised his innate spiritual energy to 80. He was already considering whether or not he should discuss a bit with his grandfather, to ask him to lengthen his time of being a retainer knight. It appeared that because Ye Huas innate spiritual energy had increased by over 40, he was the one who had obtained the most benefits. However, in reality, the advantages gained by Han Yu even surpassed that. Originally, Han Yus innate spiritual energy was 63, and although he was already a genius, if in the future he wanted to be a divine knight, there were still going to be some difficulties. In the history of the knight temple, the ones capable of bing a divine knight practically all had innate internal spiritual energies over 70. If one did not have this kind of innate talent, he had to be willing to work multiple times more. Having an innate spiritual energy of 70 gave one the physique of an angel while an innate spiritual energy of 80 gave the physique blessed by gods. In other words, under the effects of Long Hao Chens innate talent sharing, his innate skills were increased by two grades. As long as he remained alive, breaking through the ninth step was only a matter of time to him! How could this not excite him? _So what If I be a retainer knight? With such an immense increase in innate skills, even if I remain a retainer knight for twenty years, it will still be worth it!_ I truly didnt expect that this choice would have so many benefits. Haha. Han Qian very pleased with himself said: Good, lets get down to actual business. Hao Chen, during the preliminaries you ced in the top ten. ording to the rules, our Temples have to reward you with a weapon. I overheard that in your group three, the weapon of our knight temples finalist, which is you, suffered serious damages. Since it is the case, you can ept our knight temples reward for you in advance. The weapon awarded by the temple depends on your luck. Tomorrow morning, Han Yu will take you to the Temples treasury, and tell you what to do. Anyway, seeing that you are definitely already ranked first of the group three, there is no need for you to participate in tomorrows match. Your teacher already considers me his teacher, so youre my grand-disciple. When this elder returns, Ill have to prepare for both of you a wee gift; Ill have someone deliver yours tomorrow. How is it okay for my grand-disciple to not even have a full set of equipment? Little Yu, from now on, youre Hao Chens retainer; you should already know what you will have to do. Han Yu hurried to said, respectfully, Yes grandfather. I will definitely learn from master, and I will not disappoint you ever again. Han Qian finally left, and Ye Hua hurriedly went back to his room for the sake of cultivating. On the other side, Long Hao Chen took Han Yu back to his own room. Brother Han, dont you think something is wrong right now? In the future, call me directly by my name. If you keep always calling me master, I will feel really ufortable. Long Hao Chen said sincerely. Han Yu immediately shook his head resolutely, answering to him, How is that okay? We cannot discard our roles, I am masters retainer knight! I naturally have to address master properly. He had already made the resolution to apany Long Hao Chen properly. The Scion of Light! He was going to follow him in his journey! Han Yus feelings of admiration towards his grandfather were currently beyond limits; the eyesight of his grandfather was really too good! To be the retainer knight of the Scion of Light, this was a glory and not a shame! Long Hao Chen tried to persuade him for a long time, but whatever he said, Han Yu wasnt willing to agree. After this, he simply arranged a ce for him to stay, to have a ce where he could temporarily live. On the morning of the next day, Han Yu took Long Hao Chen to the Alliances Treasure Vault. Before leaving, Long Hao Chen asked Li Xin to tell Caier that today, he was probably going to be home veryte, so she should leave first, without waiting for him. The Alliances Treasure Vault was a part of the Alliances Great Stadium. Just like thetter, it was under the control of the Six Great Temples. The Treasure Vault was located in the rear of the Alliances Great Stadium, in a ce that didnt stand out at all at first nce. From outside, it just seemed like an ordinary hexagonal structure, and its interior was only a hundred square metersrge. At most, it resembled a luxurious residential building. In front of the entrance, two light d elders were chatting, seated on chairs, and with very rxed appearance. Salutations, two elders. I, Han Yu, came on behalf of the Saint Knight Head Han Qian to bring the Earth Knight Long Hao Chen to receive a reward. Han Qian respectfully saluted the other party. Long Hao Chen didnt dare ck off, and performed a salute together with Han Yu towards these two elders. Between the two elders, one was fat and the other one was thin. The fat one was balding and his clothes revealed his chest. The thin elder resembled a stick of bamboo; looking at that appearance, it seemed that even a gust of wind could blow him over. Grumpf, your order tile? The thin one said quietly. Han Yu quickly walked over, and handed over the order tile. The thin elder nodded and said: You, wait here. Long Hao Chen, follow me. Yes. Long Hao Chen answered and followed the thin elder into the treasury. Han Yu patiently waited at the entrance. The thin elder brought Long Hao Chen inside. Upon entering, Long Hao Chen carefully observed one of the most important ces in the Holy City. The treasurys hall was quite small, only about 100 meters long. In the center of the floor, there was a hexagram. The huge door behind them closed, the six walls surrounded them. On each one of these walls, there was a giant mural. The murals were all of people: there were six walls and six people. From the way they were dressed, each one was a representation of one of the six great temples. The thin elder stopped in the center of the hexagram, turned around and looked at Long Hao Chen a few times, groaned and said: So youre Long Hao Chen. I cant see whats so special about you. Long Hao started nkly for a moment, Senior, you know of me? The thin elder said very bluntly, I dont. After finishing this sentence, he moved his feet slightly, and stepped down in the direction of the knights wall. Long Hao Chen didnt sense any fluctuation of spiritual energy, but the knights wall already lit up. The thin elder lifted his right hand. Long Hao Chen could vaguely see something in the middle of his hand that resembled a small seal. It shed a bit towards the knights wall. Suddenly the light emanating from the wall flowed about, the knight bing seemingly alive. Knight Temple, bring this person. The thin elder shouted. Suddenly he lifted his foot, and kicked Long Hao Chens butt. His movements were too fast, to the extent that Long Hao Chen couldnt react at all. He felt numb all over, and he couldnt muster up any spiritual energy. He was already flying directly towards the wall with the knights symbol on it. Long Hao Chen was startled to the point that he almost cried out. When he thought about the pain he was going to suffer when his body would crash against the wall, suddenly, the surroundings became illusionary. His body unexpectedly entered the wall and disappeared. Looking at the wall with a knight drawn on it, the thin elder groaned, Fourteen year old Earth Knight, he barely passes But theres nothing that is especially wonderful about him. Toocking, toocking. How is that girl so stubborn? And do I really have to help this little child from the Knight Temple? I really want to squash him to death! As he muttered, he leisurely left. The fat elder who was seated across him previouslyughed loudly, How was it? The thin elder widened one eye, Not up to much. Hes not a nice fit for our familys Caier. The fat elderughed out loud, and said: Dont tell this to me, but to old man Yang. The skinny elder sat down again, not even looking at Han Yu beside him, and groaned twice, Sooner orter, Ill find old man Yang to pay his debts. This whole lifetime, that old bastard was taking advantage of me. This old man has to let the young brat take advantage. The fat elderughed: Honestly speaking, this was old Yangs personal order. How is he rted to this old Yang? The thin elders face suddenly became odd, Since you are bringing up the subject, I have a few things to say about that. That old man Yangs grandson isntparable to this youngster. Haha, a few days ago, that stinking brat was almost disposed of by my familys girl. Too bad you didnt get to see that old man Yangs wonderful expression when he came to find me. Haha, after so many years, its the first time I saw him so tight. And that old mans mood didnt even improve for a while. I heard the main cause of that is that brat we saw a moment ago. What a troublesome task! Its like our Assassin Temple owes that Knight Temple or something. Han Yu, on the side, raised his ears to listen, vaguely hearing them. He already had a few clues. Standing right now, the thin elder abruptly turned his head, What are you listening to, get lost. With a wave of his hand, Han Yu felt a heavy energy hitting him, and his entire body was pushed aloft in the air, further than ten meters away. Chapter 131 - Innate Talent Sharing! (III)

Chapter 131: Innate Talent Sharing! (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Right now, with just a wave of his hand, he was scared into a cold sweat! Despite the fact that he was at the fifth step, there wasnt the slightest bit of resistance. Who were these two old men? Wasnt this fearful strength simr to grandfathers? With their position, why would they be here guarding the door? The skinny elder disdainfully said: The mouse gives birth to mices, but the lineage is getting worse and worse with each generation. The grandson that Han Qian raised cant even aplish anything by himself. The fat elder twitched his mouth, and said: Who isnt aplishing anything? The Knight Temples younger generation matters a lot to the Alliance. This is something you can absolutely not deny. The skinny elder said: Bullshit. Even all of them together cannot equal our Caier. The fat elder let out a chuckle. Little maidens always need to marry. Moreover, the kid just entered is also pretty good. It looks like his age is more or less the same as your Caier. The skinny elder shrugged, Damned fatty, do you want toe to blows?. The fat elder leaned back in his chair, said: You dare? If you really do, lets go find a ce to duel for real, without anything missing. Sneak attacks are also allowed. The skinny elder groaned once again before sitting back on his chair, without uttering a single other word. Long Hao Chen was astonished by the fact that his body hadnt bumped into the wall. He only felt that a tyrannical pulling force in the surroundings was unceasingly pulling him apart, from all directions. However, at this moment, he had already recovered his ability to control his spiritual energy, manipting it to protect himself. He didnt know from where it came, but at this very moment, arge hand reached out. It grabbed his shoulders and lightly started pulling him, making the illusory and dark world suddenly disappear. Opening his eyes, Long Hao Chen had already appeared in another ce. This was a ce brimming with the feeling of spring, filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and in front of him was a valley. A faint and mighty gold colored fog shrouded the valleys entrance. The surroundings were brimming with trees, bushes, flowers and nts. This atmosphere was very inviting. The sky was clear. This slightly moist atmosphere made his skin feel extremelyfortable. The valley entrance was over 100 meters away, over the unstable and shaky cliffs, shockingly, there were tworge words Qiling Valley This, this was this the Knight Temples treasure vault? Long Hao Chen was dumbstruck as he saw everything in front of him. With his knowledge, he was capable of understanding everything that appeared before his eyes. Wee, young friend. A deep and profound voice sounded behind Long Hao Chen. Hurriedly turning around, Long Hao Chen suddenly saw that an elder stood behind him. It seemed that he was the one who was pulling him over here, and behind him stood a strange gate of light. This gate of light resembled the Creature Summoning Gate that Chen Yinger used, except that the patterns surrounding this gate were much moreplex. There was also no sign of animal carvings, but instead, there were numerous inscriptions in anguageing from ancient times. Strange isnt it? That elder was tall and thin. His silver hair was draped over his shoulders and he was wearing a traditional white robe. In this beautiful ce, the aura he gave off was close to that of an immortal. His forehead was wide, and although his face showed years of hardship, both his eyes were still bright and expressive. He didnt look too robust, but when he stood there, he seemed like a gigantic pir holding up the heavens. Greetings, elder. Long Hao Chen said, paying respect to him with a knight salute. The elderughed and said: This old man is Yang Haohan, you may call him grandpa Yang. Long Hao Chen showed respect once again, and said Hello, grandpa Yang. Yang Haohan smiled, patting him on the shoulder, and said: Isnt this ce quite strange? Actually, this ce wasnt built by the Knight Temple, but was handed down from the glory era. It was built by elves in ancient times. Its not only this ce, but the other five Temples treasure vaults are like this as well. Simply put, this was made by ancient almighty elves who were capable of understanding and controlling heaven and earth, and created a parallel world based on our original world. Afterwards, during the dark era, we, almighty humans, received it. After we added some personal touches and modifications, it became like this. Although Long Hao Chen still didnt understand much, he had a few impressions. He associated everything here with his own experience in the Knights Sacred Mountain. Yang Hao Han smiled and said: To be honest, if not for these treasuresing from the remnants of that ancient elve race that our almighty human race received during the dark era, Im afraid that we, humans, would already have gone extinct Long Hao Chens heart jumped, but he didnt ask further. This was obviously rted to the secrets of the six Temples. _If this grandpa Yang in front of my eyes wanted to say something, he would certainly do so._ Go, the valley contains your reward, but there will also be a test waiting for you, so be prepared. After entering the valley, there will be a fork in the road. At this fork, turn to the left, follow the path, and you will receive your reward. Thank you grandpa Yang Long Hao Chen respectfully replied and walked towards the Qiling valley. A hundred meters passed by quickly, and at this point, he took a step within a dense, faint-gold-colored fog. In this fog, Long Hao Chen felt instantly that something was different. It seemed that the air had be a lot heavier, and an enormous pressure was surrounding him. His previously brisk steps immediately became heavier. In his body, the liquid spiritual energy seemed to be simted, producing a faint golden halo on the surface of his body. Ever since he broke through the fifth step, Long Hao Chen felt that his cultivation speed had be a lot slower. Previously, he could gain about ten spiritual energy levels in a single day, but now, in roughly ten days, his internal spiritual energy had only gained about ten levels. But on the contrary, because of Hao Yues evolution, his external spiritual energy had increased by leaps and by bounds. In thebat against Wang Yuanyuan, Long Hao Chen came to realize that external spiritual energy was also important. Clearly, Wang Yuanyuans external spiritual energy exceeded ordinary peoples by far, because otherwise, there was no way she could so easily wield her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, even without gems embedded. If not for Hao Yues help, with no weapon that couldpare to hers in his hand, there was really no way he could match her. Now, the liquid spiritual energy in his body started to revolve while showing a great difference. Previously, during his cultivation, it was around the Saint Spiritual Stove that his internal spiritual energy revolved, but now, it became theplete opposite. The golden liquid internal spiritual energy took the shape of a ring, and resembled a sort of moat, slowly revolving around the Saint Spiritual Stove, but that Saint Spiritual Stove was slowly revolving as well. This further raised the quantity of liquid spiritual energy produced in Long Hao Chens body which, still thrown out of his Saint Spiritual Stove, blended in a ring of liquid spiritual energy. Long Hao Chen knew that he couldnt be overly eager in cultivation. He knew that the breakthrough was one of the reasons why he could gain ten levels every day, another one being the fact he was taking the Spiritual Gathering Pills that were given to him by Lin Xin. Then, it was also because he was unceasingly arousing his potential through continuous battles. And after breaking through, the liquid internal spiritual energy was a lot moreplex than in its former shape. In this month, the arousal of his potential also quite great. Steadily and surely striving to raise his level was, to him, the most proper choice. After all, he was still 14 this year, so there was nock of time for him. The personal goal Long Hao Chen gave himself was to break through the level of Radiant Knight below 18 years old, and the level of Temple Knight below 25 years old. Without a doubt, progressing too fast was not worth it at all. This was something Ye Hua put particr emphasis on. Although the pressure exerted by the insipid golden colored fog was enormous, relying on his formidable mental capacity, Long Hao Chen felt that the light essence here exceeded the external world by far, and that this fog was not formed of moisture and vapor, as it would normally, but of light essence. In other terms, the light essence here seemed almost fully liquid. Unfortunately, this was not something Long Hao Chen was capable of absorbing at all. It wasnt that there was a rejection of it, but as he made an attempt at absorbing it, the pressure exerted on him violently increased, nearly scattering the spiritual energy in his body. Surprised by this reaction, Long Hao Chen immediately became cautious and simultaneously released a [Holy Mantle]. This was to prevent the defense in his body from crumbling. Not daring to be imprudent, he carefully advanced. In a short time, a part of the scenery suddenly became distinct. As before, in the other directions, it was still indistinct, but on the left side, a passage appeared. This passage was only three meters wide, and on the two sides, high cliffs appeared. These cliffs seemed smooth and sleek, but with his current training level, Long Hao Chen had no way to climb them sessfully. It should be there. Long Hao Chen observed the surroundings for a bit before advancing in the passage. Exiting the range of the golden fog, his body finally felt lighter. As the pressuring force vanished, Long Hao Chen could feel the internal spiritual energy in his body calmly rushing forth. This passage was definitely not t, it was zigzagging inplicated patterns. This was the reason why all he could see around were the cliffs, but he didnt see an end to this passage. Continuously advancing in this passage, he had already spent roughly a quarter of an hour in it, when suddenly, in front of him appeared ten different forks in the road. Each of them had high cliffs on both sides. _This This couldnt be a naturally formed shape! It is too meticulous to be random._ Long Hao Chen who was shaken to see so many bifurcations thought to himself. _What should I do? Grandpa Yang didnt tell me about these bifurcations. Which one should I choose? Should I still choose the leftmost one?_ Halting his steps, Long Hao Chen pondered to himself. Although he was young, he had a calm nature and wasnt the kind of person to act blindly. He didnt know why, but in his heart, a restless feeling surged up. Long Hao Chen remembered perfectly what the elder Yang Hao Han told him to carefully bear in mind previously. His formidable memorizing power was currently being used at its utmost. _Grandpa Yang said that I will have to pass a test in order to obtain my reward. Could it be that this is the test, or a part of it?_ As he thought, Long Hao Chen sat down cross-legged and shut his eyes. Before, when passing through the light fog, some of his spiritual energy had been consumed. Since he had to face a test, maintaining an optimal state was clearly going to be extremely important. In this Qiling Valley, the light essence was a lot richer than in the external world. Although the fog from previously wasnt present right now, the light essence as thick as rain was still present in a very abundant proportion. Relying on his particr physique as a Scion of Light, in a little moment, Long Hao Chen was already back to his peak state. At this moment, suddenly, something caught Long Hao Chens attention. He felt a bit of the most pure light essence fluctuating around him in the air. Eh? Long Hao Chen abruptly opened his eyes that nced directly in a particr direction. Chapter 132 - Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light (I)

Chapter 132: Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales That pure essence? Although the undtions were only present in low quantity, relying on his fabulous perception, he could immediately find out the path they led to. The forks in the road before him led to a total of ten paths, and the one which contained that pure essence was the third one from the left. Without further hesitation, Long Haochen stood up and took big strides towards the third path, and advanced from there. It took him less than a hundred meters to walk into this fork. Then, the previous feeling he had emerged once again. Thats right, its precisely in this direction! Long Haochen thought to himself, _What rich fluctuations of light essence! What I am searching for will definitely be there._ For a moment, he kept advancing. But some time after taking the fork, suddenly, a fantastic gate of light appeared in front of him. This gate of light waspletely different from the one that brought him here;paratively, it was a lot smaller. With a height of two meters, a width of a meter, it had an oval shape and its edges were water-blue-colored. It released some faint gold-colored rings from the inside, and its sides were blue-colored. This is Could it be that I have to step into this gate of light? Long Haochen stopped advancing. Standing before this gate of light, he could immediately feel that the previous fluctuations of light essence wereing from within it. However, rather than being continuously released, they appeared asionally and without basis. In his capacity as Scion of Light, Long Haochens affinity with the light element was naturally at the greatest possible level. And it is not only the affinity he has with the light element, but also the one the light element has with him. As long as he could feel the existence of light element somewhere, he would unconsciously feelpletely safe in this ce. After an instant of hesitation, Long Haochen took a deep breath, and finally took a step forward, entering the gate of light. This time, he didnt feel any indisposition, but his surroundings turned into soft specks of light, dazzling all around. Feeling a firm sensation of security, in the next instant, he felt that this illusory scene turned real. This was a cave. There were strange rocks in the surroundings. After taking a step in, Long Haochen only felt that he returned to the real world and his silhouette immediately seemed illusory. A blue and a golden light suddenly shone, illuminating the entire cave. The blue one seemed like a boundless ocean, brimming with blue, sparkling colored beauty. The golden one looked like the sun at dawn: it was warm, bright, filled with life, but didnt hurt the eye. It was an exuberant life force, driving away the darkness with its light. This is Long Haochen was bewildered by this sight right away. These two pure colors were so beautiful, so mesmerizing that he waspletely immersed within it. It was especially the case for that gold color: when he saw it, it felt like he returned to the time when his father helped him toplete his divine awakening. The liquid spiritual energy within him automatically agitated, making his body flicker. His entrance apparently scared both the blue and gold color in this cave brimming full of them, and the two lights simultaneously stopped. The feelings they transmitted to Long Haochen were entirely different. The blue light probed him with crystals, but the gold light after a short period of time gave off a strong sensation of familiarity, suddenly moving towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen didnt do anything. He stood there in silence. The gold light threw itself at him. When his body became enveloped in gold light, he felt a warm sensation in his entire body. The spiritual energy within him revolved faster, unable to be stopped. Although he couldnt see the entire surrounding as there was only gold color before his eyes, the intense sensation of familiarity made Long Haochenpletely satisfied. He could feel the essence of this light, its inexhaustible purity, as he waspletely immersed in it. Long Haochens body, wrapped in this golden cover, started to emerge gradually, letting this golden radiance pass through him, entering his body and spiralling. If anyone could see this scene, he would immediately be astonished. [Brilliant Body], the formidable signature ability belonging to knights of the seventh step. The embodiment of light, and the fusion with light. Long Haochen was currently only at the fifth step, and had just broken through recently. But still, he aplished it. In normal circumstances, even for aplete [Brilliant Body], the external holy energy couldnt so easily pass through the body. However, he still managed to aplish this feat. This was precisely caused by the Scion of Lights physique and its affinity toward light, giving him theplete obedience of the light essence. And this light essence considers him as the holy master, regarding him as the holy god. Friendly and gentle, filled with inexhaustible affection. After a long time, this bright light finally retreated. Long Haochens body finally came back to normal. However, at this very moment, a feeling of danger arose in him. Suddenly opening his eyes, Long Haochen saw a blue-colored silhouette. Looking at this figure, he couldnt help but be extremely surprised. The reason for that was that it looked exactly the same as him. The only difference was that its body was of a transparent blue color. The huge pressureing out from it seemed toe from the blue light concentrated in its body. In the next instant, it lifted up its two arms, and two blue-colored heavy swords appear in its two hands, stretching forward, andunching [Assault]. At this moment, Long Haochen didnt have any weapons with him. Right after awaking from his previous wonderful state, he unconsciously stimted the Divine Wristband on his wrist, making a [Holy Mantle] arise, and resisted against the blue images blow. BamC Right after, a great impact made Long Haochen draw back, and the pair of blue heavy swords immediately issued [Lightning Thrust], attacking the [Holy Mantle] just like drops of rain. It only took a second for the [Holy Mantle] to shatter, as the attack of the blue image was aimed at Long Haochen. After a short moment of adjustation, Long Haochen prepared simrly. As he put his hands on the two sides of his body, two slim, long swords appeared in his hands. [Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation]. This was spiritual energy turned into weapons. Although at first, he didnt know at all what kind of enemy he was fighting, he came to realize that he was confronting himself. Under these circumstances, how could he resist his attacks without any weapons? [Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation] used condensed spiritual energy to create des. This was something one could only do after reaching the fifth step. Long Haochen was currently no more than a first ranked Earth Knight, so using it came with great difficulty. And the consumption of his spiritual energy due to this [Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation] was enormous, it was something he couldnt rashly use unless it was an emergency. Even with his physique of a Scion of Light, not only did this condensation of two thin swords directly consume more than 500 units of spiritual energy, but in the middle of the battle, it would keep consuming more of it. Facing the blue images [Lightning Thrust], the slim swords in Long Haochens hands also started moving. A golden luster shed, as the swords met each other. Without the use of any abilities, that blue image managed topletely nullify Long Haochens offensive power. The blue image seemed to only use speed-based attacks like [Lightning Thrust], and made countless sword-shaped images appear, attacking just like mercury. In this instant, Long Haochen felt as if he had returned to that owl-ant cave. cing his two swords up and down, he focused entirely into staying cold-headed. And although the opponents attacks were extremely swift, he blocked them all. Long Haochen discovered that his opponents attack power wasnt so great; relying on [Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation], he still managed to contend against them. However, despite the fact that Long Haochen didnt use any abilities, his spiritual energy was being consumed rapidly, just as before. In such circumstances, he didnt hold any advantage. _Eh?_ At this moment, Long Hao Chen suddenly discovered something strange. His perception was a lot higher than ordinary peoples so as he blocked these attacks flowing like rain of the blue image, he simultaneously observed his counterparts capacities. He discovered that this blue images color had turned a lot darker. And every time it would attack, its body would be even darker by a bit. In this short time when participating in the Demon Hunt Squad Selections, Long Haochen experienced a lot of battles. There were some that he lost, some that he won, and some opponents that were especially formidable. They had an especially good effect on the development of hisbat experience. Long Haochen came toprehend that in the midst of battle, he didnt only have to pay attention to himself, but it was even more important to observe his enemys situation. It doesnt only refer to observing the enemys offensive techniques, but also their body as well as the strength of their spiritual energy. This observation habit was something he was gradually giving more and more care to. The first time the blue imageunched [Lightning Thrust], it clearly had a very tyrannical power, but after breaking his [Holy Mantle], its power was also reduced, and by a wide extent. [Holy Mantle] was obviously something that couldnt injure the opponent, but then, how is it that his offensive power suddenly lowered? At that time, what happened to him? With this process of thinking, Long Hao Chen found out something about this mystery. The spiritual energy of the blue image had very little difference with his own. If his own spiritual energy was to fall down, its spiritual energy would fall down as well. Previously, when he used [Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation], his own spiritual energy had declined substantially, and as a result, its spiritual energy declined as well, which would naturally affect its offensive power. This was the correct answer. _Since things are that way, all I need to do is to purely focus on defense!_ When Long Hao Chen was in the middle of his reasoning, suddenly, that blue images figure suddenly stopped and jumped in air, rotating at great speed. It was [Condemning Revolving Sword]. Did he copy my skill? Long Hao Chen was greatly astonished. As someone who could use [Condemning Revolving Sword] he naturally knew how formidable this abilitys power was. However, at that moment, Long Hao Chen smiled. Quickly retreating back, he chanted an incantation at great speed, and lifted up his two swords that were of a shining gold color. And in this instant, his formidable mental capacity also surged out, enabling him to use three skills at once. In the sword of light in his left hand, three halos were undting: [Faith Halo], [Guardians Favor], and [Imposing Ring]. In the other sword of light in his right hand, a white glow shone, it was precisely a [Holy Sword] which was storing power. As his cultivation reached the fifth step, to use [Holy Sword], he didnt need to chant anymore. He only needed to use his spiritual energy to form the [Holy Sword]. At this time, he also released [Holy Mantle] from his Divine Wristband, blocking the first blow of this blue image. While drawing a few steps back, Long Hao Chen alsopleted his next incantation at a phenomenal speed, [Angelic Blessing]. Chapter 133 - Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light (II)

Chapter 133: Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Immediately, a resonant dragon cry sounded from Long Haochens body, covered in a rich golden light , as the holy internal spiritual energy surrounding his body turned into scales, with his two hands brandishing his sword. It was [Ascending Dragon Strike]. [Ascending Dragon Strike] was an ability learned by both specializations: Guardian Knights and Retribution Knights. As such, as soon as he broke through the fifth step, Long Haochen naturally unlocked it from his fathers inheritance ring. But at the moment he used it, the [Holy Sword] in his right hand was notpleted yet. _BamC_ The two parties collided violently in midair, but in a split second, the blue silhouette dispersed and countless blue light particles scattered in all four directions. _Thump_ , Long Haochen steadilynded on the floor. His body dazzled a bit, and his vision darkened. A moment ago, he used many techniques in a short period of time. Even his mental capacity different from ordinary peoples, was not sufficient to support himpletely, and hisplexion became pale. At this moment, the two swords in his hands from the [Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation] also dispersed. From start to finish, his [Holy Sword] technique had not even beenpleted. However, he won and prevailed over the blue image. Long Haochen aplished this pretty simply. His victory was due to determining urately the nature of that blue image made of light. The blue image was copying his skills as well as his spiritual energy. Its skills were exactly the same, but its amount of spiritual energy was based on his own. Under these circumstances, if Long Haochen kept defending, the attacks of this blue image would never cease. With a single mistake, the opponent would prevail over him. However, what if he didnt have spiritual energy? What would this blue light rely on to attack? Long Haochen continuously used many techniques, not because he wanted to attain victory, but he wanted to quicklypletely consume all of his spiritual energy. Above all, before finallypletely depleting everything, he would activate his final technique. Without the support of spiritual energy, [Condemning Revolving Swords] was unable to stand up to [Ascending Dragon Strike], and as a result, the blue image was defeated and ordingly dispersed. All of this seemed simple, but in fact, this was caused by abination of knowledge and strength. If not for the fact Long Haochen blocked the blue images previous tyrannical attacks, he would have sustained injuries, same if he acted before having made this correct prediction. This battle was difficult. Despite the fact that the blue image didnt have real killing intent, Long Haochen vaguely sensed that if he was defeated, he would perhaps have lost something. Everything turned into darkness. All the light colors disappeared. In the darkness, there was only the sound of Long Haochen gasping for breaths. Suddenly, just in front of Long Haochen, a brilliant light twinkled. Under the illumination of the brilliant light, everything around became distinct. The cave was, like before, still a cave. However, this one was much smaller than the one he saw before. Just before Long Haochens eyes was a round tform. The center of the tform was precisely the ce lit up by the brilliant light. There was a sword floating on the tform, edge on the bottom and hilt on top. Compared to a traditional knights sword, this one was slightly smaller. The swords de was 1.1 meters long. The hilt was quite long, with its length of 40 centimeters. In total, the sword was 1.6 meters long. The swords edge was gold colored, but it was an understated gold color. On the back of the sword, there were many engravings. All these engravings put together formed a strange hibiscus pattern. The swords luxuriousǮ color changed, no longer gold, but deep blue. The sword broadened, the engravings turned into the shape of a dragon head, that gold colored sword edge resembled a dragon mouth wide opened. The extending sword hilt resembled a dragons body. Although the dragons body and its head were somewhat disproportionate, there was a feeling of bizarre harmonization. On the deep blue sword hilt, there were ripples of gentle blue rings of light. On the sword handle, was where the dragons eyes were. Both sides were embedded with a gold oval gemstone, which were slightly bigger than a cold coin. The sword hilt formed at its end a dragons tail, forking into three strips that were one inch long. It appeared extremely sharp. Where the fork started, both sides were embedded with a blue gemstone. After seeing this sword, Long Hao Chens eyes instantly straightened. After bing a knight, the amount of weapons he saw werent few. In particr, regr heavy swords were the type of weapons he had seen and used the mostmonly. However, hes never seen a sword as beautiful as the one that was standing in front of his eyes right now. More importantly, he could practically feel this sword breathing; it seemed alive. He felt the same sensation from the blue and gold colored light when he just entered this ce. Only that it was much gentler than before. Especially the gold coloured rings rippling on the word hilt that pulled Long Haochen towards it, step after step. Truly beautiful; it was truly beautiful, wless. When Long Haochens state of mind cleared up a bit, he shockingly discovered that he had already stepped onto the tform and was standing right in front of this sword. With great strength, he gulped. _This Is this the reward given to me for the Knights Preliminaries?_ Only by looking at it, he could already see the value of this sword. Carefully raising his right hand, he slowly grasped the hilt of the sword in front of him. Instantly, he felt a tremendous attraction force holding firmly his own palm. Immediately afterwards, acute pain came from the center of his palm. His thoughts startled, Long Haochen did not try to release his palm because he clearly felt that from this swords aura that it was telling him it wouldnt harm him. Drop after drop of blood trickled down from the palm of Long Haochen, from the sword handle, to the sword hilt and into the gold colored gemstones. Thread after thread of blood spread up, soaking the dragons body, all the way until the blue gemstones in the dragons tail. Buzz a violent trembling urred in the next split second, the long sword in his hand expelled tens of thousands of rays. Long Haochen nearly subconsciously raised the long sword above his head. Gold light in the center and blue light coiling around it were forming a huge pir rushing towards the ceiling of the cave. Strong spiritual energy fluctuated and exploded. A warm and refreshing air entered his palm. Instantly, the pain in Long Haochens palm disappeared. In the mean time, five words, one after the other, appeared in his mind. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. This was its name. Outside the Qiling Valley. From the beginning, Yang Haohan kept looking in the direction of the valley, but now, there was another person beside him. It was the Knight Temples Senior Saint Knight, Han Qian. Hall Master, you think he will manage to subdue that sword? In these many years, many have tried, but all failed. Even his father. Yang Haohan smiled slightly and said: I hope he will seed. The sword Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, was handed down from the glorious era. It was originally two swords that were imbued into a single one by an almighty godly craftsman. This sword is self aware, and moreover an ancient elf king set up a powerful and intelligent seal on it. Everyone who approached it would be pulled in by this seal to conduct a trial. Only one who could pass this trial would have the possibility of obtaining it. No one knows what level Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light is capable of reaching, but ording to records left by the ancient elf king, this sword is known as a miraculous sword. Starting from its creation, it has never had a single master. Even its mighty creator was not capable enough. Because no one was able to obtain this double swords approval, the mighty elf king used an extremely powerful seal and put it here, waiting for the fated person. It is said that this miraculous swords most mystical property consists of the fact that as long as a master gains its approval, he or she will be the only one able use it, simrly to a family equipment. No matter how strong its master is, it will have a strength adapted to him. In other words, this dual sword will grow in strength along with its owner. Have you ever heard of a sword that can grow? Its not only that, but it aplishes this feat without any additional gemstones or inscriptions. In fact, no matter how strange and scary any other weapon is, it cannot aplish that. Hao Qians eyes were filled with astonishment, Truly worthy of being a miracle sword. Then, if Haochen is able to obtain its approval, wouldnt he be able to keep on using this sword forever? Yang Haohanughed: Dont ask me. No one used this sword before, and no one has any information on its usage. Who can say anything on this? Han Qian chuckled: Temple master, youre betting big this time! Yang Haohan smiled: Originally, no one else was able to use this sword, so it should be okay to let him try it out. That old brat gave the de of Samsara to their Saint Daughter, and we, the Knight Temple also bore a Scion of Light. Its only Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, dont tell me youre reluctant to take it out? We cant be beaten by everyone! How unexpected, Xingyu actually had such a son. Only, I cant think this through, he should have known his child had the physique of a Scion of Light, why didnt he let the temple put all its effort into nurturing him? Han Qian said: Maybe, its because of heart. Eh? Yan Haohan slightly distracted, turned around and said with realization: Youre saying Xingyu wants to let this child get through the roughness of the outside world and gradually strengthen himself. This way hell possess better survival abilities. Han Qian smiled and nodded: At least at this moment, this child in front of my eyes is absolutely a worthy knight. At this age, its rare. Great innate talents must appear inside of a capable person, to really shine! As soon as he spoke of this, in the distant Qiling Valley, there was a bright light rocketing towards the sky. Gold with blue, both colors coerced, gold in the middle, blue light coiling around it. In an instant, it made the sky around it seem dim. He really seeded. Yan Haohans eyes disyed an ounce of surprise. Han Qian answered, mouth agape, This is really too fast. Wow Yang Haohan chuckled, I already guessed that it would turn out this way. This child is the Scion of Light. Although Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light has a dual attribute, its main element is light. Meeting the Scion of Light, would light element attack him? Dont be anxious, lets wait. He needs some more time to fuse with it. Chapter 134 - Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light(III)

Chapter 134: Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light(III)

Han Qian showed a bitter face as he said, A?, it looks like the equipment I prepared for him will be too embarrassing to take out! Yang Haohan gave him a deep look, and said, The exnation you just gave me, how is it that you, yourself, cannot keep it in mind? We cannot overly spoil him ! Only through advancing with his own steps will he finally be able surpass our existence. Right, do you have news on Xingyus side? Han Qian sighed, and shook his head, Still nothing. In his fight against Anan, he heavily injured him, but disappeared after that. Haohan nodded and said, Tell the rted people that this matter is to be ssified as a highly confidential secret within our Temple. In particr, you cannot let this child, Haochen, know about this. I dont want his temperament to be affected by this. In the letter Xingyu left me, he said that if he had no way toe back after his battle with Anan, before Haochen reaches the seventh step, we mustnt tell him. Han Qian sighed, and said, I really dont understand. Why does Hall Master Long insist on challenging this seventh demon god? It was alsopletely okay for him not to ept this challenge. Yang Haohan shook his head and said, No, he must go. This is his duty. If, one day, you reach the ninth step, you will alsoe to understand what kind of duty it is. Please tell the people below to keep investigating the circumstances of Anans heavy injuries. Mh. Han Qian nodded in agreement. Yang Haohan sighed to himself, Xingyu, ah, Xingyu, why didnt you tell us in the letter you left us that this little Haochen actually has the physique of Scion of Light? Could it be that you wanted to give us a nice surprise? Feel at ease, no matter what state you are in, I will help you to look after your son, help him to be the next you. No, perhaps even surpass you, in his capacity as Scion of Light. Perhaps he will even be able to sit on the first divine throne. Bathing in this golden color permeated with blue, Long Haochen gradually entered a fantastic state. Vaguely able to feel something going through his body, he couldnt even describe this cozy feeling he had, when soaking in this warm water. After a long while he lost track of the time, and then Long Haochen gradually came back to his senses. He discovered to his astonishment that he was standing in the entrance of the Qiling valley. Not far ahead was the golden fog he met earlier. Eh? Long Haochen unconsciously looked at his right hand. His right hand waspletely empty, but his arm was in a raised position as if holding something high. And my sword? My Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light? Long Haochen immediately and anxiously looked around. He didnt manage to find the sword, but he found someone. Yang Haohan wore a smile as he saw him, Dont bother searching, its inside your body. Inside my body? Long Haochen amazed, looked at Yan Haohan Grandpa Yang, whats going on? Yang Haohan said, with a smile, This weapon is a miraculous sword. Seeing your outstanding performance during the qualifiers, we, Knight Temple, decided to let you attempt its test. You already know the result: you passed it, therefore, it is yours. Long Haochen asked, full of doubts, Then what is the fact you mentioned, that it entered my body, about? Yang Haohan smiled as he replied, Dont be anxious, I will tell you everything I know about Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. About the power this sword can exert, I also dont know, because starting from the day it was made, no one has ever used it. But ording to the researches of our Temples, I can say for sure that it is a Spiritual Tool. Long Haochen spoke back, astonished, Spiritual Tool? What is a Spiritual Tool? Yang Haohan said, Spiritual Tools are weapons that canmunicate with the spirit. I believe that you already passed its test. Thats right, the one who tested you earlier was this weapons spirit itself. Although a weapons spirit doesnt possess real intelligence, it has instinct. Someone who possesses a spiritual tool as a weapon will have boundless possibilities! Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light has unlimited potential, but as you should know, the more powerful the weapon, the more powerful the owner it will seek for. But this sword doesnt need that, because it will grow together with you. At its current state, it should be soaked in your body, and as such, its capabilities will nourish your body, and your spiritual energy will be nurtured by it unceasingly. Simply said, this is a weapon that can evolve. You can look within yourself with focus, to find it. Long Haochen hastily looked within himself with focus. There, everything seemed alright, except that he immediately discovered a fantastic change in his body. It was nothing about the revolutions around his Saint Spiritual Stove or the properties of his liquid spiritual energy, but about his spiritual energy that used to be nearly depleted: it had already started recovering to its original state. The most fantastic thing was that in his Saint Spiritual Stove floated a mini sword. But, from its appearance, wasnt it precisely that Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light? Of a faint gold color merged with blue, it emitted a golden blue luster. In that instant, Long Haochen immediately discovered that Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was bathed in his own liquid spiritual energy. Seemingly absorbing a faint proportion of his spiritual energy and nourishing a very wide amount with its aura. From the spiritual energy distributed in his body, a golden blue radiance gently spread through each corner of his body, provoking a soft and warm feeling to unceasingly spread in his body. This feeling was faint, and if not for the fact that he was in a focused state, he would not have been able to sense it; but in these circumstances, he could vaguely feel it. This radiance seemed to strengthen his own body. To living beings, the most important things are light and water. Vegetables only need light and water to be able to live, but humans need more. However, in the same way, light and water are necessary to humans. From our many years of research and hypothesis, it will assist the nurturance of your own external spiritual energy. But this will be a faint and secret influence, you wont get results overnight. Yang Haohans voice entered Long Haochens ear, waking him from this focused state. Opening both eyes, Long Haochen slowly lifted his right hand. His mind was connected with the mini sword in his Saint Spiritual Stove, and with a single thought, a glow appeared and the dragon shaped sword hilt appeared. This golden sword seemed like the mouth of a dragon, forming two swords, one above and one below, as its golden de seemed to be roaring, emitting in this process a golden glint. When Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light appeared, Long Haochen could feel for the first time his link with it. The feeling waspletely different from the one he had when grasping it for the first time. At this moment, he felt that this sword was like a part of him. A fantastic, profound sensation appeared in his consciousness: it was as if the sword was trying to convey something. Yang Haohan faintly smiled, and said, You should go home now. Slowly ustom yourself. Tomorrow, thepetition between the top 16 will begin, and this old man offers you his best wishes and hopes you will be able to get great results. Tomorrow? Long Haochen was surprised, Isnt there a rest of two days after thepetition of the groups? Yang Haohan smiled to him, and said, Little guy, you have already spent three days here. Do you believe that fusing with a spiritual tool is so easy? The fact you took three days to aplish this feat is already astonishing. On the other side, your teacher had already notified people from the Temple, so there is no need to worry. Unexpectedly, three days have already passed? Long Haochen, astonished, bid farewell to Yang Haohan, and under his guidance, he stepped in another gate of light. A radiance shed as he came out from a wall. Long Haochen realized at that moment that he was once again in the small hall within the Alliances Treasure Vault. The surroundings werepletely empty, without a single person. At this moment, Long Haochen understood that this ce didnt really need people to guard it, because strangers had no way to enter the Treasures Pavilion. As a matter of course, to be qualified to enter the Treasure Pavilion came up with a lot of responsibilities in regards to the Temple, and for each of the Temples, people who had this qualification were extremely few. Walking away from the Treasures Pavilion, he met, as before, two guardians outside, but it wasnt the fat and the thin elder, but two harmless-looking inly d middle-aged men. They looked at most to be 40 years old, and smiled, full of goodwill, at Long Haochen. Are they really as harmless as they look? Long Haochen, carefully observing them, discovered to his astonishment that these middle aged men made him feel really tranquil; on one hand, they seemed really harmless and on the other hand they seemed as profound as a deep valley. As expected from the Alliances headquarters! They have so many strong people in the Holy City. Long Haochen hurriedly saluted these two middle-aged men before quickly leaving. Master. Han Yus voice sounded, weing him from the side. You have been waiting for me all this time? Long Haochen astonishedly asked him. Han Yu nodded, and said, I am your retainer knight, so it is natural for me to always apany you. Obviously, he had stood at this ce all along. Long Haochenughed for a little, and without saying much more, took Han Yu with him to return to his hotel. What made Long Haochen a bit gloomy was that regardless of whether it was his teacher or his big sis, both were cultivating in their room. Actually, what he wanted to do the most was to go ask Li Xin about how Caier has been going on these few days. However, it wasnt good to disturb her during her cultivation. Left without a choice, he returned to his own room and went into cultivation as well. Pertaining to the Hibiscus of Light, there were still a lot of things he had yet toprehend, so as to disy its formidable might. Bright morning. Ye Hua knocked at Long Haochens door. Seeing his teacher once again, Long Haochen was quite surprised. It was because he discovered to his astonishment that there was nothing left of his previous gloomyplexion, and instead, he seemed very high spirited. It seemed as if he became ten years younger in this short time span of a few days. Teacher, you Ye Hua chuckled, as the lines on his face seemed far from their originally stiff state, I broke through! I finally broke through the 3000th spiritual energy level. In the past, it was as if I used hypnosis on myself to be convinced that innate talent wasnt so important. But on these few days, I came to realize for the first time how important innate talent is pertaining to cultivation. After so many years of effort, I feel like I finally have the asion to make use of the knowledge I have umted for so long. Haochen, thank you. No No. Long Haochen felt immediately embarrassed, Teacher, I am the one who should say this. As long as I could be of help to you, Im happy. Ye Hua smiled and said, Okay, we master and disciple no longer need to be so overly polite with each other. This is a gift from your grand-teacher. When thepetition is finished, teacher will still remain in Holy City to apany your grand-master while training. At this time, you will have joined a Demon Hunt Squad to gain new experiences. This equipment will be useful to you. Chapter 135 - The Sixteen Finalists (I)

Chapter 135: The Sixteen Finalists (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A sort of winding bracelet stood up on the ground near Long Haochens body. Suddenly, a light glow flickered and some equipment appeared. Without a doubt, this bracelet was simr in its function to the forget-me-not ring. Although this type of storage bracelet was rare, for Han Qian who was the Saint Knight Head, possessing one was naturally in no way odd. Equipment? Only after losing something does one understand its value better. Long Haochen lost all his equipment previously, and as a result he had no choice but to live through this profound experience. As soon as he heard that he could use this equipment, his eyes immediately brightened, impatiently eyeing these pieces of equipment. These pieces were a set of full-body armor, a sword, and a shield. These three pieces of equipment were all silver in color, emitting a faint holy aura. It felt like this equipment was the same grade as his own armor and the Light Sword he used before. At most, it was only a bit stronger. However, even if it was like this, Long Haochen was still pleasantly surprised. After losing his shield and Light Sword, he asked a lot around about the price of a piece of magical equipment. Each one would cost above a thousand gold coins, causing people to shrink back. Being able to get aplete set was already enough to satisfy him plentifully. Ye Hua smiled: This set of equipment is called the Holy Spirit Set, and is formed of the Holy Spirit Armor, the Holy Spirit Shield, and the Holy Spirit Sword. Separately, they are already at the magical tier, but when the set is gathered andbined together, they can produce a Holy Spirit Ring that can be controlled to be used on allies through your thoughts. In terms of range, this halo covers a diameter of twenty meters. Its able to take the shape of a [Holy Spirit Supplementary Armor] that protects your body on its surface. To maintain this halo of light, five units of spiritual energy are consumed for every time of a breath. This set of Guardian Knight equipment is pretty good, its effects on the team are in no way small. So, whenbined together, this set of equipment is equivalent to Spiritual Tiered equipment. Comparatively, its slightly better than the Divine Wristband your teacher gave you. Its so awesome! Long Haochen excitedly squatted down. He immediately stored the Holy Spirit Sword and the Holy Spirit Shield in his forget me-not-ring, before donning the Holy Spirit Armor without hesitation. Ye Huas face let out a faint trace of a smile, _This childs character is truly innocent, he didnt even look displeased by the fact the equipment given to him by the Saint Knight Head was only at the magical tier. The excitement in his eyes was genuine._ Teacher, if you meet grand-teacher, please tell him that I give him my thanks. Using this set of equipment, I will certainly bring honor to our knights temple. Long Haochen was originally already handsome, but after wearing this silver armor, he appeared even more handsome and heroic. This Holy Spirit Armor didnt weigh much, and for sure, it was somewhat better than his original armor in terms of quality. In addition, this armor had a helmet, able to include the face in the protected range. This made the overall difference in terms of defensive power even greater. Ye Hua patted his shoulder and said: Good job, now head together with your big sister Xiner to the Alliances Great Stadium. From today onwards, its a knockoutpetition that will begin. Every person only has a single opportunity; teacher wishes you luck in obtaining victory. Win swiftly, withoutplications, and aim for the top three. I pledge to aplish this task. Long Haochen pumped his chest with his right fist, performing a proper knights salute aimed at Ye Hua. When hepleted his sentence, teacher and disciple couldnt help but fall inughter. On the other side of Long Haochens bed, Hao Yue, who was curled up, slowly lifted his three heads, and as his body shook for a bit, his heavy body suddenly made the bed nearby creak. Cant forget you. Long Haochen gentlyughed at him. Having obtained a new armor, Long Haochen was quite ecstatic. Even while having breakfast, he put on his armor. After being full, under Ye Huas supervision, he departed, by Li Xins side, for the Alliances Great Stadium together. Even his retainer did not have permission to watch the matches, so Long Haochen left Han Yu, who stayed in the hotel, cultivating. Sis, hows Caier these days? Shes not angry at me right? Long Haochen asked Li Xin. Li Xin giggled and said: Look at your prudent behavior, you dont even have a confirmed rtionship yet and youre so nervous when it pertains to her. Surely, in the future, youll be a great yboy. Long Haochen blushed, quickly exining: Big sis, were no more than friends! Li Xinughed and said: Okay, okay, youre only friends. Then you should ask her yourself how shes been going. Long Haochen suddenly was a bit worried, pulling Li Xins hand and said: Sis, sorry, it wasnt true. Please quickly tell me, now. Li Xin nced towards him and said: You fell in my trap. Good, good, sister will guarantee you will be able to see her today. No matter how Long Haochen asked, Li Xin would not tell him precisely when he will be able to meet Caier. Not after long, sister and brother both arrived at the Alliances Great Stadium once again. The top sixteen finals took ce in the Knights Stadium. Everyone who entered the top sixteen could spectate the battles. Two people just arrived at the entrance; they were familiar faces. At the same time, these two males happened to walk from a nearby ce, and handed over their number tes for examination at the entrance. These two were Yang Wenzhao and Huang Yi. From the looks of it, these two were long-time acquaintances. Brother Yang, brother Huang, hello. Although they were his opponents, they already knew each other. After Long Haochen and Li Xin went up to them, they took the initiative in greeting them. As soon as Yang Wenzhao saw him, hisplexion changed immediately. With a bitter face, he said, Im not so well! I hope that when we draw lots, I dont draw you. After talking, he hurriedly entered. Looking at him, who had the appearance of someone who just saw a ghost, Long Haochen couldnt help but be in a daze, _Whats up with you? Is that the same powerful opponent who defeated me that day without even summoning his mount? Could it be that he no longer has faith in confronting me anymore?_ Yang Wenzhao was naturally not afraid of him. In a one on one, he wasnt even afraid of fighting Caier, but the situation where an assassin was the strongest was naturally not in a front-to-front fight. He clearly didnt want to remember an assassin of Caiers caliber. Most of all, that day, his grandfather didnt even pursue this matter. One could only imagine how frightening that assassin girls background was. Huang Yis meeting with Long Haochen was very much the opposite. Facing him with a smile, he greeted him. Brother Huang, that day I had something to do, so I didnt see you fight. In the end, who between you and Wang Yuanyuan managed to get out of the group? Long Haochen inquisitively asked. Huang Yi proudly said: Fluke, I won by fluke. Wang Yuanyuan indeed has a formidable strength. Facing her head on, I definitely had no way to be her opponent, so I came up with some tricks. Relying on joint cast, together with my fairypanion, when she embedded her gems and unleashed the Gigantic Divine Soul Shields power, I finished my [Earth Waves]. Talking about it really embarrasses me, but during the whole battle, I used [Earth Waves] to aid me in running away. In the end, I exhausted her spiritual energy and barely won. I have to thank you, if she had not used the enormously consuming Gigantic Divine Soul Shield from the start, under normal circumstances, theres no way to predict who would have emerged victorious. With what he said, Long Haochen understood that during this match, Huang Yi read in Wang Yuanyuans thoughts. That girl was certainly formidable, and even from Long Haochens point of view, for her to have ended up unable to enter the top 16 was quite unfortunate. Humph! Truly shameless. In the middle of their conversation a voice filled with rage sounded from behind them. The two turned around to look at the owner of this voice, but wasnt that Wang Yuanyuan? And beside her was Chen Yinger. Chen Yingersplexion didnt look so good. The little loli hurriedly took a few steps forward and faced Long Haochen,paring her little fists with Long Haochen. You look down on me? You didnt evene to thest match. Long Haochen helplessly said: Of course not. Only, I had something to do on that day. I apologize to you. Chen Yinger stuck her tongue out at him and without waiting before taking her turn to speak, the raging Wang Yuanyuan, who had a dangerous expression when looking at Huang Yi, dragged her by the hand into the stadium. Evidently, having gone through these preliminaries together, these two girls developed a good friendship. Huang Yi had some lingering fears after seeing Wang Yuanyuan with the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield on her back. Helplessly shaking his head, he said, I just hope that when we draw lots for the demon hunt squads, I dont draw into the same group as her. A shield warrior who cant defend, and one so impulsive at that, Im seriously afraid of her. Li Xin patted Long Haochens shoulders and said: Lets get in. Its gettingte. Heeey, wait for meC Someone called out to them in an urged voice. Brother and sister both turned around and saw another familiar face. That was the incredibly odd mage who wasnt able to use any offensive spell, Lin Xin. Congrattions, congrattions. Congrattions to the noble brother and sister upon entering the top sixteen. Lin Xin wore a face full of smile and ran towards them. Li Xin didnt look so rejoiced when seeing him, Whats there to be congratted for? We cant receive your congrattions. Lin Xingged and said with a smile: Whats happening, Sister Li Xin, I certainly didnt do anything! Li Xin angrily said: You didnt do anything? You dont know how to use a single offensive magic. You dare to trick my little brother into promising to pick you for his team if he ends up in the top three. Dont tell me that you dont know the importance of a strong mage in a squad? With her saying this, Huang Yi who was beside them opened up his eyes more in shock, What? You dont know any offensive magic? With one hand, he grabbed Lin Xin, hisplexion seemed much uglier than Li Xins. Lin Xin swatted his hand away, So what if I dont know any offensive magic? Big bro has drugs. At that time, using his formidable control over magic, in addition to bribing Huang Yi with drugs, he was able to get the number one seat in the Mage Preliminaries. Now that Huang Yi heard he couldnt attack, it would be stranger if he acted normally. Long Haochen pulled Li Xin who was still in the middle of her thoughts, when Lin Xin calmly said: Sis, dont be like that. If not for the matters between us, Lin Xin wouldnt have given me his pills. They helped me a lot, so I should rather be thanking him. Brother Lin, dont worry, if I enter the top three, Ill fulfil my promise for sure. Then what about Caier? Li Xin blurted out practically immediately. Long Haochen suddenly froze up, _Thats right! Caier, Caier also entered the top 16._ Instantly, his face immediately became pale. _If I enter the top three, Ill have to pick Lin Xin, so what about Caier?_ Not long ago, I clearly gave her my promise; I agreed to protect her for a lifetime. Lin Xin looked at the dispirited Long Haochen, his thoughts instantly deepened. His face disyed a slightly helpless smile, as he lightly shook his head, and didnt say anything further. Patting Long Haochens shoulders, he entered. Recalling that youngdy who was valiant, although blind, he couldnt think of anything else to say. Chapter 136 - The Sixteen Finalists (II)

Chapter 136: The Sixteen Finalists (II)

Li Xin could also see how bitter Long Haochens face was, and said some words tofort him: Now is not the time to think about these matters, in the end, it applies only in case you do really enter the top three. Long Haochen, feeling a bit better, nodded and said, Lets go in, sis. Today, the atmosphere in the Knight Stadium was quite solemn. Although the situation inside was unvarying, on the tform, a group of people arrived. Clearly, they werent few in number, and without a doubt, they were the higher-ups of the Great Temples. In this moment, for the top 16 Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition, 40 people were gathered, all seated in the lounge, to watch the knock-outpetition that was going to take ce. Although these outsiders werent here to participate, they went to watch thepetition, as before. Some wanted to learn and improve through watching the matches between these 16 powerhouses, observing their methods and gaining experience in the process. More importantly, after the end of thispetition, the squad-forming roulette would be conducted. Who wouldnt wish to look at the skills of those who would maybe be their future squad partners. As soon as he entered the lounge, Long Haochen hastily looked around. A lot of gazes fell on him, belonging in particr to knights orpetitors who were in the third group. Found her. Long Haochenpletely ignored the gazes of the otherpetitors and quickly found the target of his attention. Caier was silently seated in a corner of the first row. She had her bamboo cane before her body, leaning her shoulder on it. She appeared very calm, and from Long Haochens eyes, she gave off a very pure feel. Because when he had gotten Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, Long Haochen had been in aplete state of immersion, he felt like he hadnt seen Caier for ages. Seeing her seated here, he and Li Xin quickly headed to her side. The previously calm Caier clearly recognized these footsteps. Slightly lowering her head, she unconsciously grasped her bamboo cane with both hands. Caier. Long Hao Chen called out to her, briefly, before seating by her side. Yeah Caier responded with a calm voice, pursing her lips while looking somewhat unhappy in her demeanor. Caier, these few days, I was in the Alliances Treasure Vault, I just came out from it yesterday evening. Yeah Caier simrly answered very quickly. Caier, what were you up to on these few days? Long Haochen asked, his heart still full of misgivings. This time, Caier didnt even make a yeah, and calmly remained seated.. However, her ear was already deep red. Although Long Haochen didnt appear for a few days, Li Xin already told her what he was doing, so naturally, Caier wasnt worried about him. But after she had been embraced by Long Haochen on that day, her face would turn deep red every time she reminisced about her misunderstanding, and together with that, her heartbeat would quicken up. Hearing Long Haochens voice once again so suddenly, how could she not feel bashful? Long Haochen, who had no way to know about this littledys current thoughts frowned and showed concern, Caier, how is it that youre still angry? I I think I didnt do anything bad! If you are angry, tell me why, is it okay? I will correct myself. Li Xin who was seated on the side couldnt help but cover her mouth, about to fall inughter. This couple of sweethearts was really interesting. Seeing Caiers bashful appearance, something was clear to her: How can it be that shes angry? Only, I wonder what these two have been up to. I feel like they are really pure and sincere. Li Xin, deep inside, was full of envy, thinking to herself, When will I find someone who will care about me as much as lil bro does for Caier? Long Haochens worries didntst for long, and as he was in a loss, a little soft hand quietly stretched forward, holding his own hand. In the grasp of this tender and warm little hand, Long Haochen was at first shaken, then, filled his heart with resolution. Anxious in the limits, he satisfyingly remained seated there. Even though he was quite dense, now he was sure that Caier wasnt ming him. In such an important knockoutpetition, naturally no one would arrivete. After a little while, the 16petitors had all arrived. Long Haochen didnt recognize many people on the first row where he was seated. Except from him, Li Xin, and Caier, there were also Huang Yi and Yang Wenzhao, and thest two knights he had never fought personally, who were naturally the twost powerhouses at the fifth step that he saw during the qualifiers. Long Haochen looked around for a bit. On the first row, there were precisely 16 people seated and among them, there were unexpectedly five knights, and no priests at all. Though, a knight ending first in the Six Great Temples ranking was certainly not a rare sight. Suddenly, he felt that something was amiss, and turned his head around Caier, telling her, with a puzzled look, Caier, participants of todays knockoutpetition should be the only ones able to sit in this first row, so you Li Xin finally couldnt hold back herughter any longer, Foolish boy, there are times when youre really stupid. Who said that Caier couldnt participate to the final knockoutpetition? She took the first ce in our second group you know Eh? Long Hao Chen, astonished, opened wide his two eyes, narrowly letting go of that delicate small hand. Caier slightly lifted up her head, and said in a low voice, This is also something else didnt ask me before! I am the assassin #1 To Long Haochen, these pieces of news were absolutely shocking. Naturally, he knew that Caier was an assassin, but she was blind! However, she still took the first ce of the second group. What did that imply? Long Haochen waspletely at a loss at that moment. All of you, wee to the Knight Stadium. At this very moment, a familiar voice sounded all around, making Long Haochen lift up his head. He immediately noticed that at some point, the Saint Knight Head Han Qian had arrived in the stadium and his words were directed at the people in the lounge. Although he didnt use any sound amplifying magic, everyone could distinctly hear his voice. First of all, I want to congratte you for having entered the top 16,petitors. The fact you entered the top 16 implies that you are already qualified to get a reward from the Alliance. After this Great Competition, you will have the permission to go to the Alliances Treasure Vault to choose one of the secret skills that suits you the most. In case you can advance in thispetition, the rewards will increase ordingly. As for you otherpetitors who couldnt enter the top 16, theres no need to be worried. Although the most outstanding of you entered the top 16, having survived the preliminaries is proof enough that you will be essential members of your Demon Hunt Squad. Our Temple Alliance has never been adept at formalities so I wont say anything further. Besides, before the top 16petitorspetition takes ce, you will be required to draw ballots. From now on, luck will also be a huge factor on whether you will be able to stay in or not. Even I recognize luck as an element of strength. Caier discretely retrieved her little hand, and grasped her bamboo cane tightly. Long Haochen knew that she was shy before so many people. From the fact she was too embarrassed to let her hand be held, he naturally wouldntin. From the first row, the sixteenpetitors walked in a line, entering the Stadium one after another. The other 44petitors didnt need to participate in matches, but were simrly nervous. Without a doubt, each confrontation of this knock-outpetition was going to be a fierce contest. The matches would necessarily be very exciting, and more importantly, the spinning wheel would designate the members of each squads after a little time. They all wanted to see it. Who, in very the end, was going toe out as the star, using his own ability, to take the highest seat of thepetition? After the staff members once again confirmed the number tes of eachpetitor, the group of sixteen entered the main stage, cing themselves in a circle all around Han Qian. In this moment, five other elders entered the stadium, standing beside Han Qian. Among these five elders was one who bore the mark of Master Heroic Assassin,ing from the Assassin Temple, the one in control of the thirty-six most powerful Heroic Assassins of the eighth step, auxiliary hall master Ying Suifeng. Auxiliary hall master of the Mage Temple, a Saint Mage Tutor and themander of the mage regiment, Lin Chen. Of course, Long Haochen didnt know this, but this old man was actually Lin Xins biological grandfather. Auxiliary hall master of the Priest Temple, cardinal and master of the Sacrificial Hall, Ruoshui. Auxiliary hall master of the Warrior Temple, grandmaster berserker, and powerhouse at the step of War Emperor, Ren Wokuang. Thest person was a female elder embroidered with a ck robe, and looked as gentle as Ruoshui, but she appeared to have a more aggressive look. In terms of height , she was short, but after entering the stadium, she was the one who made the others feel the greatest pressure. When cautiously paying attention, the vibes she gave off were simr to the pressure imposed/emitted by a giant, terrifying, deste creature. This person was the auxiliary hall master, known as majestic spiritual fantasista master. Summoner at the rank of Soul Emperor, Sanshui. In this instant, everyone could feel that this grandma Sanshui was perhaps not the most aplished in terms of cultivation level among these six auxiliary hall masters, but she was absolutely the most terrifying of these people. Han Qianughed and said, Everyone is gathered. Shall we start? The five other people nodded in approval. Although there were six people there, the five others were only present to supervise this process and nothing more, as the one who drew the lots was Han Qian alone. The fireball that everyone saw numerous times appeared once again, and slowly fell from the sky, expanding in the air, gradually turning into a huge golden halo. And then it fell on the ground, happening to fall close to the sixteenpetitors and six auxiliary hall masters. The secondary hall masters were enveloped within a halo, while the sixteenpetitors were standing outside of this halo. With a sh of golden light from Han Qians hand, instantly, the ring shone extremely brightly. Put your hand in this halo; the drawing of lots can now start. Be at ease. The first-ranked of their group will only be matched against those who are the second-ranked of their group. In ordance to Han Qians instructions, everyone inserted his hand in this halo. The six other auxiliary hall masters shut their eyes, using their astonishing mental capacity to sense the process of drawing of lots. The one who felt the most nervous was Han Qian, in his capacity of Knight Halls secondary hall master. Of course, he wished for allpetitorsing from his Temple at least to pass through the first round. The amount of five qualified knights this time, among the sixteen ces, was something unprecedented in history. Before the other Temples, Han Qian gained an enormous amount of face. If these five could enter the top eight, how fantastic would it be! The drawing of lots started. A soft, golden radiance covered the sixteen handspletely, rapidly twinkling and spreading. Revolving at high speed, it covered the bodies of all sixteenpetitors in a gold color. Gradually, brilliance after brilliance lit up and changes appeared on the golden color on eachpetitors body. The most important change was on the intensity of this golden color. Chapter 137 - The Sixteen Finalists (III)

Chapter 137: The Sixteen Finalists (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales _Bzz_ The halo stopped shining, and the sixteen people in Long Haochens group looked at the brilliance on their own bodies. The five auxiliary hall masters in the halo opened their eyes simultaneously. Excluding Ruoshui, the four other secondary hall masters had looks that seemed as if they were rejoicing in the misfortune of someone else. At the same time, Han Qians look became an iparably ugly sight to behold. It had already beenpleted, and even without the five other auxiliary hall masters, no one could possibly question the fairness of this process. Among the fivepetitors of the Knight Temple, unexpectedly, there were four of them that fell against other knights as opponents. In other words, no matter how the matches took ce, there were now only at most three people from the Knight Temple who could enter the top eight. Two knights of the fifth step, unfamiliar with each other, ended up against each other. The light on their body waspletely identical, and on the other sides, Long Haochen and Li Xin, brother and sister, ended up against each other. Long Haochens look instantly became shocked, as he turned toward Li Xin, with an ugly look on his face. How could he have thought that he would be so unlucky. With a probability of one eighth, he still drew his big sister as his opponent. The Saint Mage Tutor Lin Chen coughed, before patting Han Qians shoulder and saying, Brother Han is indeed worthy of being an emissary of light, this draw was indeed fair and equitable. It has the approval of our Mage Temple. Ying Suifeng and Han Qian were the most familiar, and he was the one whoughed in the most lividly fashion, Old Han, your Knight Temple is indeed formidable, but in regard to luck, tss tss Han Qiansplexion changedpletely, fiercely opening his two eyes widely. The War Emperor Ren Wokuangughed as well, Child Ying, you shouldnt speak like this. These drawing results were very advantageous to the Knight Temple: that way they will have at least two people in the top eight. Wouldnt this enormously increase the probability of getting someone in the top three? Sanshui, the summoner at the step of Spirit Emperor coldly snorted, You guys, what can you do except from taking joy in other peoples misfortune? In the first ce, try to have five of your people enter the top sixteen. Old Han, thank you! Nobody from our Spiritual Temple ran against each other, what a great luck. Outside of the Knight Temple, the second fameseeker of these selections was the Spiritual Temple. Excluding the fellow who couldnt even predict what she was going to summon through the Creature Summoning Gate, Chen Yinger, there were surprisingly three outstanding summoners who managed to enter the top 16. In addition, amongst them, two were only at the fourth step. Clearly, they were powerful summoners. In the process of the drawing that just happened, these three summoners didnt end up against each other, so it was no wonder that the normally cold-faced Sanshui was in such a good mood. Han Qians blood was boiling in fury. The knockoutpetition hadnt started yet, but the Knight Temple had already lost two people. Furthermore, in front of them, he couldnt break out like that. With a face partly red and partly pale, he said, Looking at you, each and every one of you look like you are quite enjoying yourselves. You should take example on Ruoshuis calm and collected appearance. Ruoshui sighed helplessly, and said, How could I be calm and collected! None of the people from my Priest Temple entered the top 16! These drawing results dont affect me much Hic Han Qian became immediately speechless, and ruthlessly said, Go back to the lounge. ording to the colors of the lights on your bodies, the matches are about to start. The first pairing may stay on the ground. As he finished to speak, he furiously headed back to the tform without even turning his head. That enormous golden halo slowly rose, not entering in the dome. Sis, I Long Haochen wanted to say something to Li Xin, but Li Xin immediately shook her head with a smile and said immediately, Stupid little brother, what are you doing!? What is there to feel awkward about? Could it be that you really think I could proceed by meeting someone else as my opponent? It was thanks to Caiers help that I could enter the top 16. I am already satisfied with that. Originally, I didnt even have the idea of trying to enter the top 16. Drawing you as my opponent is actually the best thing that could have happened to me, since Im going to lose anyways, isnt it the best if I can send you to the top 8 in the process? But Long Haochen still wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Li Xin. Fool, what is there to but? Could it be that you really think, I, at the fourth step, can beat you whos at the fifth step? Or that my Rose can win against that little freak Hao Yue, after his evolution? The otherpetitors had already gone back to the lounge, but Caier was still waiting by Long Haochens side, listening the conversation of this sister and her brother. Hic Ehm The first match doesnt involve you, does it? A somewhat speechless voice resounded from the side. Long Haochen and Li Xin turned around to take a look, seeing Yang Wenzhao and a female summoner who gave them a strange look. These two were the ones that had the most shallow light shining on their bodies. That female summoner was wearing a magic gown together with a staff, and was currently lowering her head so there was no way to see her face clearly. Oh. Apologies. Long Haochen nodded at them before hurriedly heading back to the lounge together with Li Xin and Caier. Recognizing them, Yang Wenzhao kept a low profile. At least, he didnt draw Long Haochen or Caier as his first opponent. Even if he wasnt so haunted by her shadow as previously, these two opponents were the hardest to deal with, for him. Caier, who is your opponent? Li Xin asked Caier, who was at Long Haochens side. Caier shook her head and answered, I cannot see, so I dont know. Hearing her words, Long Haochen immediately felt a strong surge of self-culpability. He had looked after her for a so long time, but had forgotten that she couldnt see. Full of regrets, he took her little hand, Dont worry, I will ask a staff member. At the time Long Haochen went to ask to the staff member, the first match to go from the top 16 to the top 8 started. As before, Yang Wenzhao didnt summon his mount, and spread a pair of heavy sword, dashing like a lightning bolt toward the opponent summoner. During a match between a knight and a summoner, both parties were at a distance of 50 meters. Yang Wenzhaos opponent grasped a green cane, and chanted at great speed. At the same time, she didnt stay motionless and rapidly retreated back. Yang Wenzhaos charge was extremely rapid, but even if it was the case, as he arrived at a distance of 20 meters, the female summoner had alreadypleted her first summoning. A green dot of light was emitted from the summit of her staff, falling into the ground in the next instant, and a green halo ordingly appeared, emitting ripples around it. Immediately, a thick vine came out from the ground, immediately spreading forward. This was a botanical summoner! At this moment, if Yang Wenzhao didnt feel like shing against that nt, he would have to take a detour. Naturally, Yang Wenzhao wouldnt make such a choice. Charging forward with honor and determination, his two heavy swords shone with a glitter of golden light. Quickening his pace further, he made his [Charge] evolve into [Assault], as he waved the two swords in his hands,unching two [Light Thorns] simultaneously as he slowly jumped off the ground. Although that vine was tough and durable, in front of these [Light Thorns] it seemed incredibly frail, as it instantly turned into naught. Yang Wenzhaos valiant character undoubtedly manifested at that moment. Brazenly rushing into this group of vines, without the use of any skills, he waved these heavy swords, passing through them while appearing like wind and rain and instantly twisting and breaking any of these vines. Only his speed dropped slightly, but this irresistible force passed through these vines without a hitch. And at this moment, the opposite female summonerpleted her second summoning spell. In front of Yang Wenzhaos charge, this summoner didnt panic the slightest bit. This time, it was a dark green-colored rippling light that appeared, and immediately, wide thorns came out from the ground, not only blocking Yang Wenzhaos path but alsounching sneak attacks on him. A loud sound resounded, as Yang Wenzhaos charging figure was abruptly stopped. These numerous thorns looked slimmer than the vines but as hard as iron. Although, as before, it had no way to contend against the attacksing from Yang Wenzhaos pair of swords, he had no way to charge forward with [Assault] anymore, and could only advance forward step after step. At that moment, Long Haochen already inquired the staff member and got the confirmation that Caiers opponent was another summoner. His attention was immediately attracted by this match. Summoners were the vocation Long Haochen was the most unfamiliar with. The only fight of involving summoners that he had ever seen was the ones involving Chen Yinger and her Creature Summoning Gate. But the opponent of Yang Wenzhao was a lot more dependable than this Chen Yinger, to haveunched two summoning spells in a row and at such a speed. Dang But at this very moment, Yang Wenzhaos feet suddenly stoppedpletely. A violent strike sounded, as his body was swayed for a bit, and unexpectedly became motionless. Long Haochens vision was quite good, so he could clearly see that a one foot long red thorn was shot at Yang Wenzhaos direction, obviously attacking him by surprise. Because he was in the front of the lounge, Long Haochen could see that this summoner was, as before, in the middle of thistles and thorns, protected by them as she kept drawing back. At her side, a fantastic nt with the height of a person was standing. This nts entire body was made of thorns, and arge flower atop. It was from its body that these red-colored thorns appeared previously. Long Haochen knew clearly Yang Wenzhaos strength. For a thorn to be able to push him back, he could easily imagine how powerful it was. Long Haochen focused on this scene. He could clearly see that the mysterious nt trembled violently, before rapidly forming deep red-colored thorns that he surprisingly gathered together, turning them into a foot long needle that was violently shot out, targeting Yang Wenzhao. _Wow. So botanical summons can actually be used like that?_ Long Haochen unconsciously opened his eyes wide. Dang Another sound of collision could suddenly be heard. While blocking Yang Wenzhao once again, the surrounding iron-like thistles and thorns approached him from all directions. From the looks of it, this summoner currently held the advantage. The female summoners incantations didnt stop at all, and at her side, a pod of nts gradually grew, until bing absolutely enormous, several timesrger than the previous thorned flower nt. How they aimed to attack Yang Wenzhao was unknown: they slowly bent over, and simultaneously threw themselves at great speed. Each of the green beans in this pod had the size of three big human heads that were about to smash on Yang Wenzhao. Chapter 138 - Tyrannical Beyond Compare, Assassin Queen (I)

Chapter 138: Tyrannical Beyond Compare, Assassin Queen (I)

It can even be used like that? This pod wasprised of four nts in total, and in the next instant, it was twelve mung beans that came out. However, this time a yellow-colored nt rose by the side of this female summoner. This nt was somewhat grotesquely shaped, with the appearance of coral. And from it, a yellow-colored fog came out and filled the air. Contrary to expectations, this fog didnt possess any offensive power. However, every nt infected by it grew excitedly into a sort of crazy creature, frantically attacking. Pupupupupupu Monstrous sounds could be heard all around. Naturally, Yang Wenzhao wouldnt let himself be smashed by these beans, but each of them that was thrown at him sshed out some juice. In the end, his defense couldnt prevent him from being sshed, arge portion of his body ending up being infected. This green-colored liquid carried a sweet botanical scent, and didnt have any poison in it, but was extremely viscous and sticky. After being infected, Yang Wenzhao felt that his movements became a lot slower. During this match, and up till now, Yang Wenzhao seemed to bepletely suppressed, but when did that start? He was quite unfamiliar with this feeling that left him extremely unpleased. In the tform, Han Qian who was seated near to the Spirit Emperor Sanshui cried out in amazement, Thisdy is pretty good! For a summoner to be able to cast so quickly, the staff she holds must be quite unique. Sanshui snorted, speaking at her turn, Dont look for a pretext as soon as you lose. This girl, Xiaomo has a very great affinity with nts. Reportedly, she has amon lineage with elves. A good staff needs a good user, you know? Lose? Im afraid that this is going to be quite unlikely. Han Qian shook his head, wearing a smile, This girl is really not bad, but its impossible for her to win this match. Wenzhao is the number one candidate for the first ce of our Knight Temple. The Saint Mage Tutor Lin Chen, seated on the other side of Sanshui suddenly took the initiative to speak out, A?, I remember that not long ago, one of thepetitors from the Knight Temple was heavily wounded by an assassin, dont tell me it was him? Sanshui immediatelyughed very openly. Han Qians face became instantly resentful, Lin, you little kid, Im going to beat you up. Lin Chenughed out loud and said, Im sooo afraid. Ying Suifeng, seated on the side, said unenthusiastically, Even if this little kid, Yang Wenzhao, was formerly heavily wounded by an assassin from our temple, what is there tough at? From what I see, none of thepetitors from the Mage Temple will be able to enter the top 4. The Six Great Temples wereprised of three closebat specialists and three magic specialists, and they were all verypetitive. Naturally, the battle specialists were better at close quarters and the magic specialists were best at utilizing spells from a distance. Thepetitors obviously didnt know about these higher-ups quarrels. Precisely at this moment, Yang Wenzhao, in the middle of his match, was preparing to reveal his strength. Battling these botanical summons was a lot more troublesome than he had imagined. The surrounding nts suddenly became frantic, and without notice, another red thorn was piercing through the air at him. Normally Yang Wenzhao would be able to block, but since the sticky green liquid was still on the upper part of his body, he was in trouble. In a sh, a concentrated golden radiance was unleashed from Yang Wenzhaos body. In this instant, not only was his internal spiritual energy distributed, but more importantly, it had a zing aura. This zing golden radiance suddenly erupted out from him. The fast control-specialized green mucus covering him disappeared in an instant, and the thistles and thorns surrounding him as well, turning into ashes. [Holy Fire]? Long Haochen was astonished. This was a skill that was also recorded in the Inheritance Ring his father left him. But he hadnt trained on utilizing it yet. ording to his fathers annotation, this skill required his spiritual energy to advance to the second rank of the fifth step for one to possibly use it. Light and fire were originally the same entity. The mes of the sun were as zing as the me produced by a pure light with a very high temperature. A luminous darkness corroded everything. To Retribution Knights, this skill possessed enormous utility. It was ssified as one of the secret skills, and also a skill Retribution Knights of the fifth step had to learn sooner orter. This skill had great power, and a great utility in regard to offense, defense and dispelling negative effects. However, behind this formidable power, the consumption was also enormous. Launching this skill required 200 units of liquid spiritual energy, and maintaining it consumed 30 units every breath. Even knights of the fifth step had to controll it moderately afterunching it. Certainly, fire was the worst enemy of nts, and although these iron-like thistles and thorns were under the stimtion of that yellow fog, turning frantic, it could only wither in the front of that holy fire. Yang Wenzhao hissed loudly, and leaning on his tiptoes, he once againunched [Assault]. The glowing [Holy Fire] had turned the surrounding nts into naught,pletely burning them. Now, all he needed to do while charging was to use his two swords to block the red sharp thornsunched at him. Moreover, with the burning light of his [Holy Fire], the power of these thorns were greatly lowered. The female summoner concealed in the middle of these nts was filled with astonishment. Since she could sense Yang Wenzhaos location urately, she could naturally figure how fast his [Assault] was. Rapidly chanting an incantation, she pointed her staff at the ground, and immediately, two cherry-like zing-red-colored nts grew at high speed, suddenly raising her body in the air. When observing carefully, one could find out that at some point, a vine appeared around her waist, released by the extremity of that summoners staff. Immediately, the vine dragged her body upwards, in a path that the iron-like thorns naturally stopped to block, in a speed that was even faster than Yang Wenzhaos [Assault]. In the next instant after she started to rise, Yang Wenzhao arrived in her former location, and saw the sharp thorns together with the pod of nts. Where is she? Yang Wenzhao started, but with a quick movement of his hands, two heavy swords carried the zing power of [Holy Fire], sweeping at the group of nts. Although these nts were powerful, they were quitecking in terms of defense. When suddenly heated and cut up like butter, they were broken to pieces in a sh. Yang Wenzhaos intentions were clear, this opponent was a mere summoner of the fourth step, and as such, her spiritual energy was limited, and most of all, wasnt in liquid form. As long as he did his utmost to attack her, she wouldnt be able to contend against him. In the instant these offensive nts were swept at and broken, two huge red-colored fruits appeared in his line of sight. These two fruits had expanded to the size of pumpkins, and were still growing at an astonishing speed. Feeling the crisis that was urring before his eyes, Yang Wenzhao drew back at great speed while waving his swords,unching two [Light Thorns] crossed to form an [Instant st Cross Cut] chopping at these red fruits. A?, sometimes, some people make unexpected mistakes. If it was Long Haochen, he wouldnt have chopped with these two swords; because of the crisis felt earlier, he would instinctively know that staying away from these fruits was the most proper choice. With his specialization as a pure Retribution Knight, Yang Wenzhaos attack immediately prated the fruit, and as a result, a tragedy ured. Rumbles! Immense explosive sounds could be heard throughout the whole Knight Stadium, violently shaking the whole surroundings. Everyone that could see this scene became dumbstruck, discovering that a mushroom cloud rose from the iron-like thistles and thorns, rising in the sky. The female summoner, who went away since long ago subconsciously covered her head with her cloak, showing a mocking face as she stuck out her tongue, This Ruthless Cherrys power is great. I hope he wont be killed by the explosion. Not far, on the tform, Han Qian suddenly got up, but it wasnt only him: the others higher-ups who were observing the matches got up as well. It was because they knew Yang Wenzhaos real identity. Previously, when the Assassin Temple greatly wounded this knight with the sneak attack, if the worst had happened to him, perhaps Sanshui! Han Qian furiously called out. The grandma Sanshuis face twitched down, I really dont know about this! When did thisdy gain the ability to summon that thing? This is something I didnt teach her! Cough, cough, cough, cough Repeated coughs sounded from the field, as a very pitiful silhouette appeared in the middle of the field. His current appearance was indeed a scene that it was hard to look at withoutughing. His previously beautiful armor was nowpletely ck and burned. His helmet was also deep fried and his hair waspletely curly because of the explosion. The arm and body armor were the most damaged, and were faintly stained with blood. As for his face, it was even more ck, with traces of red. His current appearance was just like that of an unrestrained beggar. I I Yang Wenzhao was extremely gloomy and simply found no word to say. If he didnt chop down with his two swords, this Ruthless Cherry could only explode in the ce where he was standing at that moment, without a chance to wound him. However, this chop of his acted like a detonator. Although he immediately tried to retreat, the explosion of this Ruthless Cherry was indeed formidable. It was fortunate that he still had the igniting [Holy Fire] by his side, enabling him to brandish his two swords at full force to protect himself at the crucial moment. Otherwise, perhaps this violent explosion would really have inflicted serious damage to him. However, even if it was the case, at that moment, his whole body was still hurting. Looking at the girl he faced as his opponent, his eyes revealed extreme anger. A golden light appeared again, it was a [Holy Mantle] that rose in the air. It wasnt because he was a Retribution Knight that he couldnt use a few healing or assisting skills; [Holy Mantle] was an essential healing skill to all kinds of knights. The pair of heavy swords let out a gaudy golden light, as Yang Wenzhao stared fixedly at the ce nearby forward where the female summoner stood. Okay, okay So you can still fight!.. Then I concede. Bai Xiaomo said helplessly. This situation was within Yang Wenzhaos expectations. After all, her cultivation level was at the fourth step, and with her previous continuous use of spells, her spiritual energy was already mostly depleted. It was already impossible for her to fight in the same way as before. Since this was the case, she naturally conceded. His charge suddenly stopped, and Yang Wenzhao felt anger boiling in him. Can this be considered as a win? Has there ever been a winner with such a pitiful appearance? His face was filled with grief and indignation as he thought to himself that he had never been so pitiful in his life. Why did it have to go like this? Chapter 139 - Tyrannical Beyond Compare, Assassin Queen (II)

Chapter 139: Tyrannical Beyond Compare, Assassin Queen (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, as his opponent had just surrendered, he couldnt proceed with his attack. He was full of regret, regretting that he didnt summon his mount. Yang Wenzhao secretly vowed that for the rest of thepetition, he wouldnt act proudly again, and definitely summon his mount and go all out. Looking at the scorched ck traces on his body, he realized that his behaviour was simr to the one Han Yu showed previously. Yang Wenzhao versus Bai Xiaomo, the winner is Yang Wenzhao, he will enter the top eight. Together with the referees announcement, this first match concluded. Despite the fact that the female summoner Bai Xiaomo lost, her crafty fighting method left a deep impression on everyone. Any perspicacious person could easily guess that Bai Xiaomos summons had very great control ability. If someone could get her as a squad member, no matter if its for groupbat or duel situations, she would be one of the best members possible. More importantly, she was only at the fourth step! For her to be able to leave Yang Wenzhao, who reached the fifth step, in such a pitiful state, it was not hard to guess what would happen after she reaches the fifth step, how formidable she would be. It was only the first match of the eight, but it shocked everyone to such an extent! The feelings of thepetitors who couldnt participate who were unwilling to ept these results weakened a lot. However, the next match left them somewhat disappointed. The ones who had to go on stage for the second battle were precisely Li Xin and Long Haochen, sister and brother. Without even going on stage, Li XIn expressed to the referee her decision to concede. This kind of situation was something extremely rare to see in the matches between the top 16 powerhouses. After all, reaching this stage was very hard, and each step forward could be said to promote ones status in ones future Demon Hunt Squad by a great extent. And still, when ones strength had no way at all to match that of ones opponent, they would generally put everything at stake to try to win over the opponent. But it wasnt forbidden to concede in these matches, so the referee could only dere Long Haochen the winner, letting him enter the top eight. In regards to Li Xins decision to concede, Han Qian, on the tform, was quite satisfied. At least, she didnt deplete Long Haochens strength; the following matches were, as previously, going to take ce daily, so if one used a too huge amount of resources the day before, it would obviously have a bad influence on uing matches. The fact that Li Xin conceded didnt hamper the marvellous aspect of thepetition of this day: all four of the following matches were brilliant and varied, where no one would rashly admit defeat before the final moment. As a result, the victorious party would have to pay a price for that. After all, for thesepetitors to have been able to enter this stage, the gap between their strength couldnt be too wide. Caier, it should be your turn to go on stage. Long Haochen nervously held Caiers little hand. Caier lightly shook her head, calmly telling him, Nothing will happen to me. Long Hao Chen thought about apanying her even to go on stage, but was rejected by Caier. As her hand grasped her bamboo cane, she headed to the stadium alone. Seeing the appearance of this blind girl Caier, the otherpetitors showed various reactions. They were separated into two categories: the first was naturally those who were extremely doubtful; how could a blinddy even reach the top 16? And the other ones were nervous and excited, because they had formerly witnessed her formidable strength. In particr, the assassins from the Assassin Temple were actually cheering loudly for her. By the means of her tyrannical disy during the qualifiers, Caier had already obtained the approval of all these people. Walking into the field at a strolling pace, Caier slowly arrived. Her opponent was someone who had never run into her previously in thepetition, so his look toward her was doubtful and uprehending. _Does thisdy belong to the Assassin Temple?_ Caiers opponent was a youth roughly 20 years old. He had a medium build, and had a red staff in his hand. He was the second Grand Summoner of the fourth step who entered the top 16. In the previous matches, the appearances of the Spiritual Temple were remarkable. Although Bai Xiaomo didnt manage to win, she had be a very likely pick for the top challengers and even left Yang Wenzhao stuck in a dilemma. The other control-specialized summoner entered the top eight rtively easily, and now, the eyes were focused on thest disciple of this Spiritual Temple. Caier from the Assassin Temple will battle Fang Zhu from the Spiritual Temple. Because of the difference of vocations, the two parties will start at a distance of 40 meters, and four pirs will be raised on the ground. Both parties, be prepared. Together with this announcement from the referee, four thick pir slowly rose from on the ground. Caier and the summoner Fang Zhu calmly drew back until they were at a distance of 40 meters. In terms of nervousness, no one could surpass Long Haochen who was standing in the lounge. He nervously looked at the situation on stage, wishing that he could rece Caier to battle in her stead. Looking at him, Li Xin couldnt help but reveal a smile, as she said, Little fool, dont be so nervous. Be at ease, nothing will happen to her. As I saw it, Caiers strength is so terrifying that I am afraid that there is no way to win against her, even for you. Just wait and see. Okay., was Long Haochens reply, but in reality he didnt even hear Li Xins words. Inplete confusion out of concern for her, no matter what other people would say, the nervousness in his heart wouldnt decrease the slightest bit. He only unceasingly thought, _Caier cannot see! And in addition, shes so weak. What if she ends up wounded?_ Long Haochen had already made his resolve: if Caier were to be injured anyhow by her opponent, even if it was against the rules of thepetition, he would immediately rush to her side to treat her. Silently, he already started to prepare a [Holy Mantle]. Match start! With this sound from the referee, the seventh of the eight matches started officially. Although Fang Zhu had never seen Caier inbat, he didnt underestimate his opponent the slightest bit just because she was blind. The fact he reached the fourth step wasnt all about strength; there was no way it could be so simple. He was resolute, persistent, and prudent. The staff in his hand shone in a reddish brown color, as he waved it forward. With a height of one meter, a big cyan-colored bird rose and flew in the air. This wasnt aplished through a summoning incantation; from the looks of it, it seemed that being came out from the top of this summoners staff. It could be seen that this staff was at least a piece of equipment at the Spiritual Tier. The blue bird soared in the air, flying at great speed in Caiers direction as its body lit up with a faint blue light. In the instant the referee dered the start of the match, Caier, with her hand grasping her bamboo cane, advanced forward, straight toward her opponent. Her speed wasnt fast, and didnt show any difference from when she was ordinarily walking. The bamboo cane lightly tapped on the ground, as she walked unhurriedly, with a reserved aura. It would almost appear like an ordinary blind girl that went for a walk. On the ground, the bamboo cane made no sound, only leaving a simple trace where it passed. After Fang Zhu made that blue bird appear, he immediately started to rapidly chant his next incantation. The only difference between summoners incantation and mages was that summoners incantation were frequently chanted in a faster speed. It was because their incantations were based on frequency, unlike mages incantations, which were based on tempo. A muffled vigorous voice eagerly chanted, as the light on his red staff became brighter and brighter, letting a monstrous aura unceasingly spread out from it. Caier had only taken ten steps as this blue bird already arrived at the top of her head. Advancing towards Caiers direction at great speed, it dove down and unfolded both its wings, letting out an ear-piercing hiss and two one meter wide [Wind des] aimed straight at Caier. Caiers pace as she walked forward didnt change the slightest bit, unhurriedly strolling, just as before. In the lounge, Long Haochen almost cried out loudly. From his eyes, these two [Wind des] were about to hit Caiers body a split secondter, as a strange situation urred. Caier seemed to have not done anything, but in this instant, her body turned into a blur, and instantly, those two [Wind des] passed through her body extremely naturally, smashing the ground behind her with a _pupu_ sound and leaving four pits behinds. Also at that moment, the bamboo cane in Caiers hand was lifted up high, just like a lightning bolt, and let out an extremely cold and intense killing intent in a sh. That blue bird was very small, and in an instant after Caiers act, it could already feel the danger, rapidly batting its wings while performing a nimble dodging motion. However, from Caiers cane, three radiances were sent out, each of them extending until reaching a length of 10 meters. _Pu-_ As the bamboo cane tapped to ground, Caier kept moving forward at a strolling pace, as before. Reducing the distance between her and that summoner at every step. In her breath, there wasnt the slightest change, despite the attackunched by that blue bird, making everything that just happened seem just like a mirage. But was that really a mirage? The blood of that blue bird dripped out as it was split into four equally divided parts as it sshed down and turned into dust. When Caier had just raised her blue cane, it had not been able to evade her attack in the slightest. Looking at Caier who was just hit by that [Wind de], Long Haochen cried out in surprise, as a screech came out from his throat. Separated from Caier by a distance of roughly twenty meters, Fang Zhu was still chanting at a rapid speed. In a sh, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle as his fast incantation was almost broken by the surprise he had when looking at this scene. _My Storm Bird was instantly killed, just like that? That was a magical beast of the fourth step! It should at least be able to hinder the opponent a little._ However, from beginning to end, he didnt have the slightest influence on Caiers advance. With a glow from her bamboo cane, it was simply split in equal parts by Caier, just as a chef would do. As he was still reciting his incantation, he was broken into cold sweat by that fierce ultimate killing intent. Immediately, he realized what kind of opponent he was currently facing. Even granted that she didnt have sight, her tyrannical appearance had already let Fang Zhu experience a terrifying pressure unlike what he had ever felt before. As before, Caier moved at a slow speed, but just like during the qualifiers, each of the steps she took forward increased the mental pressure exerted on Fang Zhu. However, this Fang Zhu was also outstanding. Even in such a situation, he stillpleted his incantation without a hitch. As he pointed his staff forward, a red brilliance came out, turning into a sparkling gate. Immediately, a loud roar sounded out from it. Then, a huge figure came out from that gate. Magical beast of the sixth step, Gigantic Bear Vajra. To a Grand Summoner of the fourth step, being able to summon a magical beast of the sixth step was already the highest feat possible. The fact he managed to aplish it had to be rted to his mental capacity and the equipment he carried. Even if this was the case, after hepleted this summon, Fang Zhus face becamepletely pale, pale with a relieved feeling. Chapter 140 - Tyrannical Beyond Compare, Assassin Queen (III)

Chapter 140: Tyrannical Beyond Compare, Assassin Queen (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Without a doubt, the best method to handle an assassin was to use a solid defensebined with a more brutal power than the assassin can withstand. For this reason, Fang Zhus choice could be said to be extremely wise. The Gigantic Bear Vajra extended his arms, taking Fang Zhu and putting him on his shoulder. Then, his huge figure stood upright. This fellow had a robust build, and after standing upright, its height was close to 4 meters; its majestic body appeared just like a little mountain. He slowly approached Caier, who appeared extremely small inparison. The Gigantic Bear Vajra was a magical beast of the sixth step that had a unique innate ability known as Earthly Roar, capable of producing seismic waves tounch attacks in any direction. Its greatest features were the thick skin covering it, its defensive power and its immense physical power. Takingrge steps, it rushed madly at Caiers. With a glow of Fang Zhus staff, a soft yellow-colored brilliance enveloped him and the Gigantic Bear Vajra, making his body seem stuck to the Gigantic Bear Vajras shoulder. No matter how the Gigantic Bear Vajra moved, he wouldnt be thrown off. And at this very moment, Caier suddenly moved. The so-called maiden moved just like a rabbit, disappearing in a split second.her speed was just too fast, it went as far as to leave afterimages. The distance that used to separate her from the Gigantic Bear Vajra was only ten meters, but in a sh, she arrived before it. Under Fang Zhus control, its enormous foot stamped on the ground, and with a loud bang, [Earthly Waves] wasunched and yellow-colored seismic waves were scattered in all directions. However, Caier astonished everyone once again with the overwhelming power she disyed. Without dodging, without leaping, and without retreating, she advanced with her bamboo cane, making a chopping motion. As a shadow glittered, a scene that left all spectators speechless urred. The seismic waves all around were unexpectedly nullified in front of Caier, just as if they were struck open by a sharp de, having no effect on her advance. In the next instant, Fang Zhu couldnt see Caiers figure anymore. The restingpetitors could only see two dark-gold-colored glows before that astonishing defensive power of the Gigantic Bear Vajra was unexpectedly pierced. A _pu-tong_ sound was let out, as it fell to its knees with a mournful cry. Two trails of blood appeared on its knees,ing from the rupture of its joints, and immediately, a quiet figure appeared at its back, leaving blue smoke behind. With her feet on the head of this Gigantic Bear Vajra, the tip of her bamboo cane was pointed at Fang Zhus neck. No one doubted the fact that she only needed a little movement to instantly end Fang Zhus life. Lifeless, Fang Zhu appeared alreadypletely lifeless. He had never thought that he would be defeated so easily. The Gigantic Bear Vajra was so dominating that there was no one up till now who had the slightest chance to resist it. The Gigantic Bear Vajra unwillingly moved its palms, aiming at the top of his own head, but Caiers response was nothing more than a slight shaking of her tiptoes. In a split second, everyone saw that Caiers body lit up with a dark-gold-colored luster as the body of the Gigantic Bear Vajra froze, and its pair of thick paws dropped as blood madly poured from its mouth and nose. Clearly, it has was now heavily wounded. I I concede. Fang Zhu, listless, let go of his staff. He lost, and in addition, very miserably. From beginning to end, he could basically not resist in the slightest. From the tform, the Spiritual Emperor Sanshui said, somewhat sluggishly, Whats that spiritual energy, why is it dark-gold-colored? Ying Suifeng gave her a nce, before indifferently smiling and answering, I dont know either. Swiftlynding on the ground, Caier didnt say anything as her bamboo cane tapped on the ground, and she unhurriedly walked over to the lounge. Victor, Caier. The referee bitterly gulped his own saliva. This battle seemed simple and straightforward. In front of Caier, both Fang Zhu and his summoned beast looked extremely pitiful. The lounge fell inplete silence for a short moment. It seemed that everyone could feel his own neck tighten. As they followed with their eyes Caier, who was going back to the lounge, even the breaths of thesepeting youths became very heavy. Speed, attack, and extremely cold and powerful killing intent. None of these aspects missed to put a great pressure on them. Even if they didnt participate in the previous battle, their hearts could hardly calm down. Too formidable. So the Assassin Temple had such a formidable existence in it. Yang Wenzhaos neck simrly tightened, and a pain appeared on his chest. And doubts appeared in him. Even if he used his mount, would he really be able to resist in front of this girl? Caier used her actions to show them her graceful appearance as an assassin. Long Haochen gave a dull look to Caier who was returning to his side, before calmly sitting down. Although he didnt have this tight feeling on his neck, his view of Caier changedpletely. Slowly lowering his head, he didnt look at her but silently thought over something. A soft little hand quietly approached his own hand, as Caier didnt say anything, but nimbly touched his palm with her forefinger. Long Haochen, who originally felt gloomy deep inside was stirred by the ripples that stirred his attention. She was writing words with her fingers. What is up with you? Reading these five words with an itchy feeling, Long Haochens mood immediately eased up. Long Haochen pulled her little hand, and on her delicate hand, wrote, Seeing that you are so strong, will you still need my protection? Caiers hand started to slightly shake, as she turned it over and wrote, Are you regretting your promise? No. Long Haochen said without even thinking, taking her hand, and writing on this delicate treasure, I will never regret it. Caier became silent, tightly holding his hand. After a long time, she started to write once again on his hand, What you protect is not only my person, but also my heart. Long Haochen shivered, and immediately engraved these words in his heart: What you protect is not only my person, but also my heart. In this instant, he felt as if something was heavily piercing his heart, making everything be clear at once. Thats right! I have to protect her, does it matter if shes strong or weak? I am a guardian, just because shes formidable, does it mean that I cannot do anything to protect her? Caier only held his hand silently, and after hesitating for a little, slowly started to lean on his shoulder. In that instant of contact, the two youths hearts were shivering profusely, as Long Haochen clearly felt Caiers hand warm up. Li Xin was seated on the other side of Long Haochen, continuously paying attention to their activity. In the instant she saw Caier lean on Long Haochens shoulder, she could hear a pin drop. In fact, they were seated in the first row, beside all otherpetitors. And almost everyone could see what was happening in the front row. At this moment, almost no one paid attention to the eighth match that was taking ce on the stadium, and all eyes were focused on Long Haochen and Caiers figures. _That Is it that formidable female assassin who disyed such a strength, continuously disying overwhelming power? She How is it that shes acting timidly and lovingly next to this man?_ Looking at that beautiful scene of the timid and lovely Caier leaning on Long Haochens shoulder, a major part of the spectators felt their impression of that tyrannical-beyondpare Assassin Queen being undermined. They went from sixteen to eight, as the matches finally ended. Although the Knight Temples drawing wasnt so good, they still ended with three people in the top eight. The Assassin Temple had two people, and the Mage Temple, the Summoner Temple and the Warrior Temple one person each. On the next day, the matches for the top 4 were going to be even more intense, and was going to be determined, as before, randomly, with a drawing of lots that was going to lower even further the number ofpetitors. And at the present time, an inevitable dialogue urred. This time, Long Haochen and Caier didnt leave in advance. on the contrary, they were thest ones to leave. Li Xin didnt stay, so as to not bother them, and quietly and sadly left alone. I want to invite you for a meal, is it okay? Long Haochen asked in a low voice to Caier who was, as before, leaning on his shoulder. His body was really stiff, and he attempted to hold her in his embrace, to once again feel her slim and tender waist. But in the end, he didnt dare do so. Caier slowly lifted her head, sitting straight. Her face was covered in a frightening veil, as she lightly shook her head, No. Go home early. The rest of thepetition is more important, you should keep yourself in a good shape. Ah Feeling quite disappointed, Long Haochen responded with a single sound. Caiers small ear lightly shook, as she murmured in a very low voice, We will have plenty of time to do thatter. Long Haochen, quite perceptive, turned toward her as soon as he heard her voice, and directly nced at her with both eyes, Caier, I I Caier, somewhat suspicious, lifted her head, and looked directly at him, Yeah? Long Haochen gulped a mouthful of saliva, before telling her, full of courage, What I wanted to ask you is If If I can obtain the first ce Would you let me hug you? What? Caiers voice was suddenly raised. This scared Long Haochen to the extent of making him stand up, as he waved his hands repeatedly and said, Sorry, I just like you too much. Just take it as though I didnt say anything, dont get angry! Although Caier was blind, she could currently clearly feel his current sincere and afraid appearance. With a littleugh, she slowly nodded, letting out a little mh. Standing up, she tapped the ground with her bamboo cane and straightened her posture, moving quickly and gracefully, seemingly almost flying. Caier, slow down a little. Long Haochen, fearing that she may slip and fall down, hurriedly pursued her. In a gloomy corner of the elevated tform. Han Qian loudly waved his clenched fists, A good kid! Hes still so young, but his ability is top-notch. Yingzi, did you see? Previously, that little girl was nestling against his body. Wahaha, it looks like this thing is ready to ur. Nestling against your freaking sister! Ying Suifeng felt quite gloomy as he said, This development is too fast. With a smiling expression, Han Qian patted Ying Suifengs shoulder, and said, Brother, thank you! Thank you to your Assassin Temple for having fostered such an incredible talent. I am extremely pleased. But, Im truly ufortable about something. Little Han, you have stayed stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth rank of the eighth step for quite a long time now. What if I help you to rouse your potential? Im convinced that the old Yang will have noint about that. Chapter 141 - To fight for Cai’er!

Chapter 141: To fight for Caier!

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A twisting silhouette became faintly visible in front of Han Qian. If Long Haochen was here, he would definitely recognize that this thin elder that appeared from a sort of distortion was precisely the one who guarded the Alliances Treasure Vault that day. A great change appeared on Han Qians face; revealing a bitter expression, he said, Saint elder, my bad. A person of such a great moral stature as you naturally wouldnt remember the offenses of this humble servant, there is no need for you to lower yourself to my level! The thin elder coldly snorted, I dont care about your bullshit. Juste with me to the Assassin Stadium. If you dont want to, how about taking that grandson of yours there instead? Han Qian deeply sighed, and replied with an heroic expression, I Ill go, okay? Please dont be too strict with me! The thin elder took a step forward and advanced into the distortion, instantly disappearing. As he disappeared instantly, a noise of cold snort was left in the air. Han Qian looked at Ying Suifeng, and Ying Suifeng showed a helpless expression, Next time, just keep this mouth of yours shut. This younger brother will pray for your well-being. Han Qian said with a sullen face, The Saint elder is already this old, but hes still as fierce as in the past. Brother, I am leaving In the end, Long Haochen didnt manage to overtake Caier and returned alone to his hotel with a helpless feeling. As he was advancing forward, he suddenly giggled in realization. His beautiful and big eyes opened wide, _Caiersst words, this mh, could it be could it be an agreement to my request? She She agreed to let me hug her!_ Yes, she definitely did! Im so stupid, I only noticed now. If it wasnt like that, why would Caier have run away? Long Haochen felt me raising in his whole body, he was on fire! As his left hand shook, he couldnt help but reminisce about that day when he got to feel Caiers slender waist. He went back, going to pursue his cultivation seriously. _I will definitely get first ce._ An intense conviction filled him as he took big strides forward in the direction of his room. On the other side of the street, from an unremarkable corner, Caier listened to his footsteps and their change of rhythm. Her beautiful face slightly flushed, she revealed from the corner of her mouth the trace of a touching smile. The knock-outpetition entered its second day. The atmosphere had be much fiercer. Today, the top four was going to be decided from these eightpetitors. The ones who would win today would have a 75% chance to obtain one of the rewarded spiritual stoves. Without a doubt, all of thepetitors were going to make an all-out effort to seize victory. Long Haochen came very early to the Knight Stadium. Seeing Caier seated at the same ce as the day before, Long Haochen rushed to her and discretely took her hand. She did no more than slightly lower her head, without uttering a single word. Because she conceded yesterday, Li Xin was already eliminated and could only sit in one of the seats in the rear of the lounge. Long Haochen really liked this feeling, this atmosphere that was shared only by the two of them. Just by holding her hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. For the eight-to-four matches, the drawing of lots will begin. The top eightpetitors may enter the stadium. Long Haochen pulled Caiers hand and stood up, but what pleasantly surprised him was that this time, Caier didnt take her hand back, instead holding his hand as she was pulled to the stadium by him. Caier was an intelligent girl with a strong opinion, but when she leaned on Long Haochens shoulder yesterday, she already did not fear other people talking of them anymore. In that instant, she met this rtionship between Long Haochen and herself head on. When the six otherpetitors looked at this couple of sweethearts, their expressions changed greatly. Among them, some had already experienced Long Haochens strength by themselves, while some others didnt know about it at all, but each of them saw the terrific disy showed by Caier yesterday. Quickly, the top eight contestants arrived to the center of the tform. The method of drawing lots waspletely the same as the day before, only the count of people was a lot fewer. Long Haochen was somewhat astonished to discover that his grand-teacher had an ugly expression today. More precisely, he looked pale, as if unhealthy, as his eyes were void of any expression. Also, the muscles in his face asionally twitched, with no way of guessing what could have happened to him. The drawing is about to start. Han Qian said dispiritedly. He repeatedly sighed to himself, _This old man has already such a high age, but it still ended with me being beaten up like that, its really too pathetic._ As he pulled Caiers hand on one side, Long Haochen lifted up his other hand. With a halo pressed down from above, he simultaneously lifted up his head, looking at the otherpetitors, Among the other six others who managed to enter the top eight, there were only two people Long Haochen recognized, Yang Wenzhao and Huang Yi. Among the other four, there was also that knight of the fifth step that Long Haochen had already encountered before. With a twinkle of golden light, the drawing of lots was immediatelypleted. In the middle of this drawing of lots, Long Haochens gaze was fixed upon Caiers body. Naturally, the one he desired least to end up against was her. It seemed that his luck was pretty good. The golden shades on their bodies were clearly different. Surely, they wouldnt have to fight each other today. Long Haochen lifted up his head, and looked at the others. The eight elites were now ready for the show, and as expected, some were joyful and some worried. The most depressed was Huang Yi, because his opponent for this eight-to-four match was precisely that Caier. Seeing the same light on Caiers body as the one on his own, Huang Yi was full of bitterness. He knew, and was afraid that this was the end of his advancement in thepetition. Contrary to expectations, his mental state was still okay though. It was because Huang Yi knew that no matter who the opponent he would be against today, his odds of victory were not very high anyways. The only sad thing was that the opponent he drew today was just the one he was the least likely to prevail over among all the others. Long Haochen also saw his own opponent. The one he had to face today was the control-beast-user of the fifth step,ing from the Spiritual Temple. Clearly, this wasnt going to be an easy match. The Knight Temple had the same bad luck once again. Yang Wenzhao and thest knight of the fifth step drew each other. In the end, they couldnt avoid another match between knights. Only, Yang Wenzhao looked at ease. He felt, on the contrary, that his luck was quite good. At least, he didnt end up against Caier. Thest pair was naturallyposed of the other assassin, peaked fourth step, and the sole warrior who advanced to this stage. They both looked happy, because without a doubt, they were the two who had the lowest strength of the top eight, closely followed by Huang Yi. This was the perfect opportunity for them to stake everything to take this chance of entering the top four. Han Qians face looked even more terrible than before. This luck was really toocking, for him to make his own people draw each other once again. However, no one dared tough at him today. Each match of this day was going to be of the utmost importance to every one of the Six Great Temples. Could their Temple enter the top four in one go? To enter the top four was akin to only one step away from the threshold of the top three. This wasnt only about the spiritual stove offered as a reward, but to each of the Six Great Temples, this was one of the greatest symbols of honor! Ying Suifeng was quite better off. He had extreme confidence in Caier, and furthermore, two of the youths from his Assassin Temple managed to enter the top eight, so his chances were quite great. Aside from the other three auxiliary hall masters who didnt have any of their youths in the top three, all others stared fixedly at their own disciples, seeminglymunicating something to them with their looks. The ones with the most shallow colors, can remain, and the others can return to the lounge. Han Qian said dispiritedly. Long Haochens pair of eyes shed; today, he was the one carrying the most shallow color. Caier, your opponent is Huang Yi, earth system mage of the fifth step. He possesses an Earth Elemental Fairy. Hes good at using the [Earthly Waves] technique, and uses it in particr for fast discement. You are in the fourth match, I am in the first one. Go back to the lounge first. He wasnt going to repeat yesterdays mistake. Not only did he tell Caier who her opponent was, but he also precisely detailed his characteristics for her sake. Long Haochen didnt try to cover his words at all, and Huang Yis face looked even more bitter. Simrly, the Saint Mage Tutor Lin Chen from the Mage Temple had an agonizing appearance. Giving Caier a look before giving Huang Yi another one, he lookedpletely helpless, and his face wascking any color. The others slowly drew back from the field, leaving only Long Hao Chen and that control-beast-user. The referee already entered the stadium, activating the protection barrier that surrounded it. Long Haochen from the Knight Temple against Liao Yu from the Spiritual Temple. Both parties will start at a distance of 50 meters from each other. Long Haochen slowly drew back, while attentively observing his opponent. Liao Yu was a youth with a slim build, and approximately the same height as the fourteen year-old Long Haochen. His age was for sure past 20. His appearance was above average, and his face looked pale. But his eyes were particrly glittering, and had a powerful reflection power. As he slowly drew back too, his look was fixed on Long Haochen. As the distance between both parties was gradually increasing, the war of gazes had already started between the two of them. Liao Yu carried in his hand a white-colored staff. This color of staff was quite umon; it was hard to guess from what kind of material it was made of. The match may begin. In the instant the distance of 50 meters was reached, the referee called out loudly, and simultaneously, his body shed, retreating at high speed, and leaving the two youths by themselves in the stadium. Liao Yu had made his preparations long ago. As soon as the start of this match was announced, his chant erupted in a sh. At the same time, a white-lustered ring was distributed around his body. Clearly, his incantations werent as fast as that Bai Xiao Mo or that Fang Zhus, but his diction was a lot clearer. Furthermore, it seemed to have a fantastic rhythm. Even more unusual, together with the recitation of this incantation, he unceasingly waved the staff in his hands. With a simr tempo as his chant, mystical milky-white-colored characters formed all around him. In a mere three seconds, a huge white door was formed before him, and a sort of lightning-elemental magical beast leapt from it. This was an entirely snow-white-skinned leopard with blue stripes. Its height was only approximately 2 meters and it didnt look too robust, but it gave off a strong yet beautiful feel. Liao Yu took a step forward, as this snow leopard instantly became covered with a white halo, and in the next instant, Liao Yu appeared on the Snow Leopards back. Snow Shadow Leopard. As fast as lightning, as swift as wind, and expert at ice control magic. Different Snow Shadow Leopards master different innate magic. And in terms of speed, it was among the best-ranked species of magical beasts. Looking at the magical beast summoned by his counterpart, Long Haochen immediately made his judgement. His father and his teacher taught him everything about the overwhelming majority of existing species of different magical beasts, including the Snow Shadow Leopard. Without a doubt, Liao Yu didnt want to use this Snow Shadow Leopard for attacking purposes, but to behave as a mount. Relying on it, he would try to stall for time. In the moment Liao Yu executed his summon, Long Haochen didnt directly charge. On his forehead, purple characters shone, turning into a deep-purple-colored illumination spreading from his body to the ground. Nine lines were drawn and shed, before turning into naught, and at this moment Haoyues enormous figure had already appeared on the ground. In regard to summoning speed, he was truly even faster than Liao Yu. _A mount? He has a mount?_ In the first row of the lounge, Yang Wenzhao was astonished, and couldnt help but stare at this Haoyue, standing before Long Haochen. The current Haoyue was far different from the originally miserable-looking Earthfire Lizard. With its body extending four meters long, its silhouette seemed like that of an Earth Dragon. Although it didnt reach an Earth Dragons height, it had four solid and vigorous limbs, as well as a wide and dignified back, giving off a solid impression. His three huge heads were raised up high in the sky, as three purple halos floated, spreading from his back. On it, two bigger kinds of bones appeared, looking like a seat for knight. From his three heads, three lights flickered. Looking at him, it seemed like now that he obtained the third head, he indeed looked very fierce, but in particr, his eyes gave off a cold, dignified impression. He gave an expression of absolute aggressiveness. Long Haochens figure twinkled, as he immediately fell on Haoyues back, and a fantastic scene urred. From Haoyues back, thorns extended, wrapping around Long Haochens body, as he leaned forward; on his back, these thorns were directed toward each other, firmly setting his body between them. The man and his magical beast formed a single entity. Before stepping into the stadium, Long Haochen had already put on the entirety of his armor, the silver-colored Holy Spirit Armor that let out a faint radiance, including the helmet that covered and concealed his entire face. Both hands immediately pointing above, his Holy Spirit Sword and Holy Spirit Shield appeared,pleting the Holy Spirit Set. A faint silver halo was released from his body, enveloping Haoyue in it, gathering around their body was ayer of thin silvery light. This was precisely the supplementary effect [Holy Spirit Supplementary Armor]. This mighty outwards appearance was for real: wearing a silver-colored body armor, a silver sword and silver shield, he looked a lot more imposing than Liao Yu, the one he was facing. Haoyues three heads simultaneously roared. Crossing its four ws, he ferociously rushed toward the opponent, as above his three heads, different radiances glittered. Seated on his back, Long Haochen appeared extremely peaceful, as a golden fog surrounded his whole body, taking a shape of a ring around. This was [Storing Power]. Thats right, seated upright on Haoyues back, he didnt need to make any motions, so the situation was perfect for him to use [Storing Power]. If the previous Long Haochen could be said to try to use the otherpetitors to temper his own strength and increase hisbat experience, rousing his potential, then, from todays fight onwards, he could be said to bepletely going all out for the sake of victory. There was only a single reason for that: for Caier. In the lounge, great changes instantly appeared on Yang Wenzhaos face. He had previously had a great battle against Long Haochen, and it ended up as his victory;moreover, he held back to some extent. However, now that he looked once again at Long Haochen, he discovered with shock that this youth, a lot younger than him, had already be apletely different person. Fifth step, mount. His former advantage disappeared immediately. In less than a month, changes turning the sky and the earth upside down had urred in Long Haochen. Yang Wenzhao wasnt the slightest bit shocked by this disy of strength, but was a lot more shocked by his progress speed. HOU, HOU, HOU. Hao Yues three heads roared once again, as three glows of different colors shone simultaneously. A great war was on the verge of urring. Chapter 142 - For the Glory of Knights (I)

Chapter 142: For the Glory of Knights (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen was mounted on Haoyue, charging at Liao Yu as the Snow Shadow Panther also got on the move. He was nothing more than a mere summoner. In case the knight got near, he could only be dered the loser. Liao Yu was no less surprised than Yang Wenzhao, on the side of the spectators. In his capacity as a summoner, on the same vocation step as him, there should be no one more familiar than him with regard to magical beasts. However, he didnt recognize this mount of Long Haochens. In the end, what was this magical beast that possessed three heads, and looked somewhat simr to an Earth Dragon? In particr, because each of Haoyues three heads radiated different colored light, he looked even more surprised! Three attributes? Magical attributes counteracted each other, but this Haoyue possessed three of them! It seemed that no attribute could, as a result, restrain himpletely. The Snow Shadow Panthers speed was truly astonishing. When charging with all its strength, it looked just like a white bolt of lightning, advancing towards the side by force. Liao Yu continuously chanted, and at an astonishing speed. Meanwhile, from some unknown ce, he took out a ne. It was silver-colored, with a pink gem the size of a birds egg embedded in it. This color of the ne was more suited to girls, so it indeed looked strange to see a youth like Liao Yu wear it. However, he already had no other choice. No matter whether it was from Long Haochen who was storing power, or from this Haoyue with glows of three colors shining on him, he was under an enormous pressure. Haoyues speed was clearly not at the Snow Shadow Panthers level, but he was extremely intelligent. Without absolutely wanting to overtake him, he simply followed it from afar, and didnt take the initiative tounch magic. The Knight Stadium was in total 300 meters long, and no matter how he pressured the Snow Shadow Panther, both sides were 100 meters apart from beginning to end. This kind of distance made it impossible for Haoyues magic to reach the opponent at his present cultivation level. Liao Yus chant didnt cease from beginning to end, echoing loudly through the whole stadium. The pink gem on his ne started to emit some faint light, fusing together with the radianceing out from his white staff. One symbol after another started to emerge around Liao Yu, forming a mystical pattern. Long Haochens [Storing Power] didnt stop the slightest bit. After his spiritual energy became liquid, the speed of his [Storing Power] had decreased to some extent, but under its effect, the quality of [Storing Power] had increased by leaps and bounds. His elerating figure had turned golden and even his Holy Spirit Armor waspletely washed in gold. An iparable holy aura unceasingly rose up from his body, letting out a pressure that gradually increased in power. After havingpped the stadium thrice at full speed, the Snow Shadow Leopards burst power gradually lowered, and his speed ordingly became slower. And at this very moment, Liao Yus incantation waspleted. Clearly revolving around his body were a total of 36 mystical symbols, all pink-colored, and looking just like a pink-colored curtain covering him in it. A frightful and savage feel erupted in the air from these strange mystical symbols, such a terrible and tyrannical power pressed down on the entire stadium causing the protection around it to shudder. On the main stage, a multitude of masters all faced each other with shock and said: Are all the youngsters nowadays so strong? What is this? [Savage Beast Summoning]? These savage beasts were all ancient varieties passed down through the generations. They were much stronger than the normal summoned beasts. The weakest savage beast was at least seventh step. Some traces of them could only appear in special ces or in deep mountains. 36 pink symbols rose up and spread out, forming a gigantic pink ring slowly and disappearing in the air. However, after the disappearance of those symbols, a red ring rose above Liao Yus head. At the same moment, Hao Yue suddenly acted. In previous bouts, Hao Yue disyed a speed normal to a sixth step beast, but all of a sudden, a strong green light erupted on his body and even his huge body slowly floated. Meanwhile, an intense green light burst out from his back pushing his body forward at an astonishing pace towards Liao Yu. Little Green wasnt the only one who acted. A streak of red light soared into the sky, and a ring of crimson light recoiled and descended from the skynding on Long Haochen and colored his entire body in a glorious gold. This was [Brilliant Fire Dance], a fire type support spell of the fifth step. _Bang._ A concentrated reddish-gold color me suddenly exploded. Long Haochen who sat on the back of Hao Yue resembled a brilliant war god. Little Lights ability didnt appear as dazzling as Little Fire and Little Greens abilities, but from his head, three gold halos broke out. [Power Halo], [Brilliant Halo], [Faith Halo]. Among them, [Brilliant Halo] was an ability that even Long Hao Chen could not use. This halo has the power to increase the effectiveness of ones light attribute techniques by twenty percent and also has the ability topress light elemental essence. Liao Yu wasnt the only one who chanted a spell. Hao Yues three heads already prepared their spell, only waiting this moment before bursting out. Little Light, Little Fire, Little Green, used six techniques in an instant, four support abilities and two speed increasing abilities, almost instantly increasing Long Haochensbat abilities to its pinnacle. Liao Yusplexion changed a bit. Despite the fact that his summon could only use one attack, he had absolute confidence in defeating Long Haochen. However, at the time this summoning magic waspleted, under the influence of the savage power, the Snow Shadow Panther speed greatly decreased, plus the Snow Shadow Panthers body was originally already not that strong. After a little effort, its speed was already slower than Hao Yues. The most important factor was the summoning magic needed to have a three breaths time toplete. But currently, Hao Yue already used the [Float] wind-element technique together with [Wind Pir], throwing his body forward at a rapid speed. When Hao Yue moved, it was actually not because of an order from Long Haochen, but by his self-control. Even Long Haochen didnt know, and had to adjust his predictions ordingly. ording to Long Haochens perception, he only had a clear-cut method a momentter. After two breathes time, Hao Yue already carried Long Haochen 100 meters forward. At this time, Liao Yu was only capable of urging the Snow Shadow Panther to run quickly striving for the final moment. At that instant, a faintly visible white light passed through, beneath Long Haochens chest and surged out. Floating in front of him was a small three-legged stove, as a soft white light shrouded the Snow Shadow Panthers body. Then, unconsciously, the ferocious Snow Shadow Panther turned its head towards Long Haochen, and immediately, an intense vacuuming feeling pulled it making its body unstable, and almost dropped to the floor. Gold, a splendid gold color, appearing like an awe-inspiring pir extending across the heavens. On the holy spirit sword, a shining radiance of fire and lightbined to form a brilliant de of light. A golden sword about 3 meters long stretched across the sky, bringing with it golden-veined distortions. It split through the air, carrying the distinct purity of sunlight and me which left a dazzling streak in the sky. [Light Thorn]. It was a [Light Thorn] that actually possessed physical substance. Relying upon the effect of [Storing Power] and Haoyues support, Long Hao Chen had produced the strongest attack he had ever used ever since he was born. This attack was sharp to the extent that it was not something even experts of the sixth step would dare to directly block. It was basically an attack in which Long Hao Chen had condensed nearly all his spiritual energy. It produced an explosion following a thoroughpression of energy! In just a moment, the golden de of light had broken through the pink fog, and the ceaselessly rippling fog suddenly congealed. Immediately after, countless golden streams of light burst forth from within the fog. Long Hao Chen could almost hear a faint birds cry. Even though ite out barely discernable, in that moment, no matter if it was him or Haoyue, both felt like they had been struck by a thunderbolt. An immense pressure reinforced with a thick intent of fury shed by. _Exactly what had he just tried to summon?_ This question immediately popped up in Long Haochens heart. Despite the fact that he had disrupted the opponents summoning, his state of mind was not rxed at all. Long Haochen faintly felt that he had been a bit too careless. Although his method of fighting was simple and direct, he had underestimated his opponent. If he had really allowed that summoning magic to bepleted, perhaps he may have already been defeated. Liao Yus eyes were filled with unwillingness, but his deathly pale face had already betrayed his current state of affairs. Long Haochens [Storing Power] had expended all of his power, but how could Liao Yu not have expended all his effort with that summoning magic as well? Had he not overexerted himself and possessed the medium at his chest, he definitely would not be able toplete such magic. Furthermore, the extent to which he overexerted himself was equivalent to that of Long Haochens utilization of [Sacrifice]. Based on his bodys physical quality as well as his natural recovery ability, he wouldnt be able to fully recover unless he had at least ten days of rest. In other words, even if he had triumphed over Long Haochen in this fight, it wouldve been extremely difficult topete in thetter matches. Liao Yu had made this decision due to his keen perception. What Long Haochen didnt know was this opponent before him was a bit simr to him in regard to his very special innate mental capacity. If it wasnt the case, he wouldnt have been able to break through the fifth step of the hardest upation to train within the Six Great Temples, the summoner, at the age of twenty. When Long Haochen summoned Haoyue, Liao Yu keenly sensed the disparity between him and his opponent. He knew that he wouldnt be able to disrupt Long Haochens [Storing Power], nor could any of the magical beasts he could summon overpower Haoyue. As such, he could only take a risk and hope to get into the top four. A pity, he still ultimately lost. Although this way of losing was in no way miserable, was there anything else he could do in this situation, let alone aiming to win? Chapter 143 - For the Glory of Knights (II) Chapter 143: For the Glory of Knights (II) [Radiant World], the spiritual energy recovering option. Long Haochen received Little Lights support, his near-exhausted spiritual power gradually recovering. And without notice, Haoyue immediately charged towards the opponent. The Snow Shadow Leopard still wanted to resist, but was directly oppressed by Little Fires fierce mes; Little Green also bit into its neck without waiting. Looking at Long Haochen, the crumbling Liao Yu sighed. I lost. Long Haochen questioned, Im curious, what magical beast were you trying to summon? For it to possess such power Liao Yu did not hide the fact, because even though he was unhappy with his loss, he truly approved of Long Haochens ability. Thest sh did not just involve grasping the urate timing. If the attack was not powerful enough, it would be impossible for it to break the summoning cloud. Its a Wild Vermilion Bird, a phoenix-type mythological beast of the tenth step. Even though I can only summon it to attack once, the power of that attack can bepared to that of a magical beast of the eighth step. Which means its attack can rival those of vocations of the seventh step. If the summoning seeded, the situation would have turned around, and I am afraid the winner would have been me. Long Haochens heart shook, secretly thinking, Being able to advance this far in thepetition indeed was not so simple. If he let Liao Yu finish his summoning, not only would he have lost, but perhaps also ended up heavily injured. An attack from a beast mount of the eighth step can after all not possibly be blocked easily. Winner: Long Haochen. In the time spent talking, the Snow Shadow Leopard had already slumped on the ground, its head bitten off by little Green. How could a magical beast of the fourth step stand a chance against a magical beast of the sixth step? Long Haochen leaped down, and held on to the unsteady Liao Yu, who was unable to fully support his own weight. It looks like the battle strategy I chose was the problem. I shouldnt have attacked you with [Storing Power]. Liao Yu calmly said, I never thought that you would have a Saint Spiritual Stove. And if I havent guessed incorrectly, your stove has already evolved once. When the timees, I sincerely hope that we could be ced in the same demon hunting squad. Long Haochen chuckled slightly, saying, I also hope so. Undoubtedly, Liao Yu was the first pick of the Spiritual Temple in this Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition. Being able to be ced in the same squad as him would naturally be a very good thing. Thinking of this, he couldnt help but think about Chen Yinger, who still left him unconvinced. Compared to that girls with her unpredictable summonings, Liao Yu was obviously more outstanding. Staff members quickly entered the battle area, supporting Liao Yu by the arm and leading him out. Naturally, there were people from the Priest Temple to heal him. After sending Haoyue back, Long Haochen headed to the lounge inrge strides, both fists clenched tightly. Having entering the top four, he was at a single step of the top three. There were merely two matches left before reaching the first ce. The lucky participants chosen for the second match were people from the Assassin Temple and the Warrior Temple. But a lucky draw did not signify an easy fight. Conversely, it was the most desperate battle of the elimination matches so far. Having already broken through the fifth step, the contestant from the Warrior Temple was stronger than his opponent. Inparison, the qualifier from the assassin temple was at the peak of the fourth step. There was a qualitative gap between the two of them. But, for him to be able to qualify for the top eight, the assassin surely possessed immense power as well. Furthermore, he possessed three secret techniques, and by relying on the pirs that rose from the battleground, he turned it into an arduous battle. The whole duration of the match was around half an hour. In the end, the assassin, relying on shocking willpower, used his own body as bait: in the instant the opponents heavy sword sliced into his scap, he counterattacked and stabbed through the armor by his throat. One sh to seal the throat. Of course, he didnt really kill his opponent, but with the price of a heavy wound, he won the battle. If one was to summarize the secret of winning the battle, then the two words sheer will would be the most urate words possible to describe it. Being pressured at the start, but at thest moment, counterattacking to obtain victory with a single strike. The weak defeated the strong, obtaining victory against an opponent of the fifth step, and outrageously advancing to the top four. On the tform, Ying Suifeng nodded to himself. He decided that after thispetition, he would properly train this assassin. The following third match was apetition between fellow knights. As Yang Wenzhao stood up and turned around to the direction of the battleground, he deliberately looked at Long Haochen. As of now, his face waspletely calm, and his heart was in a serene state. Before the appearance of Long Haochen, he had always been hailed as the most talented of the young generation. This talent was not only about his strength, but also in his attitude. The strength of Long Haochen and Caier hadpletely aroused Yang Wenzhaos fighting spirit, so no matter who the next opponent of the top four was, he would undoubtedly exert all he his strength against him. Yang Wenzhaos opponent, a low-profile knight with an average-looking face, had no extraordinary features, but was conversely very calm. He seemed a little older than Yang Wenzhao. Yang Wenzhao from the Knight Temple will be up against Duan Yi from the Knight Temple, both sides prepare. The battle starts now. At the time of the knight temple preliminaries, Long Haochen was defeated by Yang Wenzhao, and because Yang Wenzhao was heavily injured by Caier, Duan Yi received first ce in the preliminaries. Naturally, his strength was not average. Following the signal of the referee, the two youths summoned their mounts. Both sides were of the fifth step, so besidespeting with their own ability, they wouldpete with the power of their mounts. Like Long Haochen, who spared nothing and gave his all, Yang Wenzhao would not hold back anything anymore. The Yang Wenzhao of today still wore the same silver white armor as before, only, it was a different one from when he battled against Long Haochen, while carrying, as before, a pair of golden heavy swords in his hands. On the other side, Duan Yis armor was ck, just like his shield and sword. It was something rarely seen among knights. Duan Yis weaponry and armor, no matter which item, were a lot thicker than the norm. By this time, Long Haochen had long since arrived at Caiers side, and was currently looking attentively at the battle proceeding in front of him. He had never seen Yang Wenzhaos mount before, so this was the perfect chance to observe it. Perhaps it was because Yang Wenzhao had previously defeated him, but against all expectations, he really hoped for Yang Wenzhao to win over the opponent. The dual golden-colored heavy swords radiated lines of mysterious light as they shed in front of his body, a golden hexagram blooming in front of Yang Wenzhao. Xululu! Apanied by a long screech, among the surprised shouts of the resting area, a unicorn appeared impressively in front of the public. Its whole body was snow white-colored, the mane on its neck golden, and a golden spiral-shaped horn standing proudly on top of its head. It had arge pair of feathered wings, pure white wings with edges lined with golden feathers. Its body emitted ring after ring of golden light up and down. It was actually a Starlight Unicorn! Long Haochen has clearly seen the beauty of this type of unicorn with his own eyes before, before being rejected by the Starlight Unicorn King. Towards those called the noblest unicorns, he had a clear memory. He really didnt expect Yang Wenzhaos mount to be a Starlight Unicorn. The Starlight Unicorn before his eyes possessed a width of approximately 3.3 meters and a height of almost 2.7 meters, and was slowly unfolding the pair of pure white wings on its back. Even though it had yet to reach adulthood, this unicorn was still mystically handsome. It is known that Starlight Unicorns are hailed as the best mounts for knights. A Starlight Unicorn that has reached adulthood, even though it would only be a magical beast of the eight step, had a very highpatibility with knights. Even a magical beast of the ninth step would not be able topete with it. It implied that Yang Wenzhao, impressively, was already an Airborne Knight. Boom. Just as Long Haochen was admiring the Starlight Unicorn, on the other side, Duan Yi alsopleted his mount summon. Duan Yis mount was far off from having the handsome beauty and dazzle of the Starlight Unicorn, but its appearance was much more terrifying. With arge body that exceeded 6.5 meters, a height that exceeded 10 meters, and four sturdy limbs, it resembled a massive pir. Long hair of a pressed red color hung down, two buckteeth protruded from its mouth, but the most amazing thing was that a golden red horn wasing out from its head. This was A Golden Horned Mammoth, a light and fire double attribute mount at the peak of the eighth step. But this golden horn mammoth had yet to reach adulthood as well. The body of an adult Golden Horned Mammoth would be twice as terrifying as this one. Even like this, this terrifying beast would also be between the peak of the sixth step and the seventh step, surpassing even the Starlight Unicorn in terms of power. In yesterdays matches, no matter if it was Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao or Duan Yi, none of them revealed their mounts. Today, after they released their mounts to battle, silence reigned on the tform. Even though the other Great Temples did not want to admit it, they understood. The Knight Temple was fully deserving its ce as number one. There was not only a single powerful young knight! No matter if it was Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao or Duan Yi, all could be called talented knights, and even the proud Han Yu who was eliminated by Long Haochen in the preliminary rounds was a knight of the fifth step. There was also a knight of the fifth step that was eliminated in yesterdays match. Even Li Xin, a female knight who possessed a Rose Unicorn, also entered thispetitions top 16. If it wasnt for their bad luck in drawing, perhaps tomorrows match of the top four would be a monodrama of the Knight Temple. Yang Wenzhao mounted the Starlight Unicorn with a single step. On the other side, the golden horn mammoth was truly too tall; to jump up on it was not very realistic, so Duan Yi had no other choice; the golden horn mammoth lifted its foreleg, Duan Yi first leaped on top of it, and with another consecutive leap, he sessfully mounted on the Golden Horned Mammoths thick neck. Borrowing the power of a canter, The Starlight Unicorn unfolded its two wings to a glide. A faint golden aura continuously spread out from its hooves, letting out a noble, graceful, dazzling, majestic feel. Seeing the Starlight Unicorn taking flight, Long Haochen could only hear sighs of admiration behind him. Yang Wenzhao, who was mounted on top of the Starlight Unicorn, gave off the impression to be a prince mounted on his white horse. But not all people were praising him: there was at least one exception. Seeing Yang Wenzhao rising in the air, Chen Yinger, who was sitting next to Wang Yuanyuan, curled her lips and said, Attention-seeking idiot. Chapter 144 - For the Glory of the Knights (III)

Chapter 144: For the Glory of the Knights (III)

Wang Yuanyuan looked towards her doubtfully, saying: Yinger, you know him? Chen Yingers pretty face expressed loathing as she turned her head, No, I dont. In midair, Yang Wenzhao slowly raised the two swords at his sides as a gentle golden light expanded outwards. The unicorns body also began to radiate a golden color, and within a few moments, both lightsbined to form a simr hue. At this point in time, Yang Wenzhaos body began to exude an atmosphere full of the light element, and an even denser holy aura. The golden glow below the unicorns hooves had also morphed to form a hexagram. Both wings spreading out evenly, the Starlight Unicorns sparkling eyes did not hold the least bit of evil intent as its body glided downwards in the direction of the the golden horn mammoths forehead. Boom On the golden horn mammoths side, a dense golden red me instantly furled upwards; it seemed like a ball of golden red fire at first nce. Duan Yi slowly raised his sword and the golden red me immediately leapt upwards, the fiery light at the swords tip extending a good thirty meters. Seeing that his starlight unicorn was steadily drawing near, at a distance of around 150 meters left, Yang Wenzhao initiated his first attack. It was abination of [Light Thorn] with [Instant st Cross Cut]. A pair of golden swords simultaneously exploded with the magnitude of [Light Thorn], ovepping with [Instant st Cross Cut] as it sliced horizontally through the air towards Duan Yi, who was currently situated at the neck of the golden horn mammoth. In the exact second that the [Light Thorn] was unleashed, the horn at the starlight unicorns forehead let loose two bright golden points that melded with the [Light Thorn]s attack. Immediately, the [Light Thorn] underwent a qualitative change and the two gleaming des glowed with resplendent starlight. It exuded a dense, holy aura and pressure that made this originally not so powerful attack totally evolve. Duan Yis face grew solemn and the sword in his hand directly shed out, golden red fire shaping into an enormous ming de and heavily shing against the [Instant st Cross Cut]. Immediately, countless dazzling lights erupted in the air and scattered in all directions, and the Starlight Unicorn again arced back up into the air. At this time, Yang Wenzhao couldnt help but think that if he had acquired the [Storing Power] skill that Long Haochen possessed, it would have gone better. He wouldve been more able to fully disy the superiority of an Airborne Knight. Therefore, Yang Wenzhao made a hidden determination that once thispetition was over, he would definitely try to go learn this skill as his encouragement reward. Was [Storing Power] really so useless? Long Haochen had already used this skill to win numerous matches already. Furthermore, the greatest merit of [Storing Power] was that it could help a knight to unleash an attacking might which exceeded their level. After all, how could the attack that Long Haochen used before simply be an average fifth step attack? It had, at the very least, reached the offensive might of a Radiant Knight of the sixth step. One in the air and one on the ground, both parties had already exchanged blows. People with a discerning eye would be able to tell who had suffered the greatest loss. The golden radiance surrounding the Starlight Unicorns body did not have any particr change. On the other hand, while Duan Yi had blocked the intersecting [Instant st Cross Cut], it was clear that the golden red me surrounding the golden horned mammoth had dimmed, as if it had nearly been blown away by a fierce gale. The starlight unicorn circled around the perimeter, and in midair, Yang Wenzhaos pair of swords had already lit up again, a sacred white light bursting forth. It was the dense force of the skill [Holy Sword]. Furthermore, he condensed it on both of his swords. At this moment, the might of the starlight unicorn was demonstrated even further. Rings and rings of hexagrams emitting a golden luster ascended from its body, and the speed at which Yang Wenzhao activated [Holy Sword] had already multiplied. As the Starlight Unicorn prepared to charge forward once again, his two swords had already begun emanating two bright white des. Something flickered in Duan Yis eyes, and oddly, although they watched as Yang Wenzhao prepared to glide down, Duan Yi didnt make any further motions to activate a skill. I concede. A deep, ambivalent voice, under the influence of spiritual energy, resounded throughout the whole stadium. Huh? Yang Wenzhao looked on nkly, hastily directing the already prepared [Holy Sword] upwards as the starlight unicorn glided over the head of the golden horned mammoth. After circling around, it settled before Duan Yi. Brother Duan, you concede? Yang Wenzhao stared at him in confusion. The two parties had only used their attacks probingly, and it could be said that the match hadnt really truly begun. Duan Yis expression clearly held signs of inner struggle, but he still walked towards Yang Wenzhao and nodded, In terms of overall strength, I am confident that I am no weaker than you. At the same time, you possess the starlight unicorn which is able to hover and soar in the sky, and as such already possess an indomitable position. Perhaps under the circumstances that I expend all of my power, you most likely would also have to pay a hefty price. However, for me to win this match is too difficult. Theres not much of a disparity between our levels, but based on the fact that youre a retribution knight that possesses the midair superiority with the starlight unicorn, I no longer hold any hope of winning. If you were from another temple, I would definitely take a risk and put forth my all, but we are both knights. Speaking up to this point, he halted momentarily, then dered in a deep voice: For the glory of the knights. As he said this, Duan Yi lifted the shield in his left hand to cover the left side of his body, and the sword in his right hand raised horizontally to the front of the shield. It again moved to be ced against his left breast as he demonstrated the standard salute of a guardian knight. The phrase: For the glory of the knights had already exined everything to Yang Wenzhao. His face immediately grew solemn as his expression disyed the utmost respect, and his two swords brandished horizontally across his chest. Then with flip of his wrists, he ced the handle of the sword in his right hand at his left breast, reciprocating with the standard salute of a retribution knight. He proimed in a loud voice: For the glory of the knights. The respect Yang Wenzhao demonstrated towards Duan Yi was very sincere. Without a doubt, Duan Yis concession did not signify that he did not possess strength. Its just that he had pondered upon his chances of winning and decided ordingly to give this opportunity to Yang Wenzhao, who was a bit stronger than him. It wasnt that he didnt try either, but out of consideration for thetter matches. If both sides ended up greatly injured, then that would mean that the Knight Temple would have lost one knight capable of contending for the top four spots. After attacking probingly, Duan Yis decision to concede was made in order to preserve Yang Wenzhaos battle strength. Adding the fact that Long Haochen had already qualified, even if two knights drew each other for a match in the round to decide the top four, as long as there were no mishaps, it was possible for the Knight Temple to upy two of the top three ces. After all, the strength of the assassin that entered the top four with difficulty was closer to the bottom of the tier. Yang Wenzhao reflected on himself. If it had been him under the same circumstances, it probably wouldve been extremely difficult for him to make such arge concession and to make the same decision as Duan Yi. The phrase they both shouted, For the glory of the knights, had already exined why the match had concluded so quickly. Yang Wenzhao had purposely shouted particrly loudly in order to tell the surrounding people that Duan Yi definitely wasnt any worse than him. On the tform, Han Qian faintly nodded his head, his face expressing satisfaction. As for the heads of the other temples, they were all silent as their eyes expressed an uncontained amount of envy. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, one sky and one earth. The magnificence which these two youthful knights disyed involuntarily made it as if they were actually seeing the future. Not to mention there was an even younger one, Long Haochen. These three people would definitely be the cornerstones of the Knight Temple in the future. At least in this generation, the status of the Knight Temple as the chief of the Six Great Temples could not be swayed among the heads of the Temples. Each individual recalled their mount and equipment. Looking at each other in understanding, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi both returned to the resting area. Caier, always be careful. Long Haochen repeatedly urged her. Caier faintly nodded. Her bamboo cane tapped the floor, and amidst du, du, du sounds, she slowly entered the arena. The final round to decide the top four, Caier versus Huang Yi. Huang Yis face was bitter as he slowly entered the field. What mages and priests feared the most were assassins, not to mention that the opponent he was about to face was an extremely powerful existence. No matter who it was, no one had ever seen the bottom line of Caier. In other words, she had never fully revealed her true power. However, Huang Yi naturally wouldnt concede like Duan Yi. One always had to take a chance and see what would happen. Caier from the Assassin Temple versus Huang Yi from the Mage Temple. Due to the vocations of both parties, the distance will be extended to forty meters. Get ready. In a match of an assassin versus mage, there naturally wouldnt be any preferential treatment such as the elevation of ste, but instead, an extension of distance. Huang Yi tightly gripped his short magic staff a bit nervously. After trying his utmost to make his breathing a bit more even and bnced, he had already promptly made preparations to utter incantations. Match start. The words which the referee called out hit Huang Yi as if opening a gate. Under the immense pressure Caier brought him, hepletely revealed all of his potential. In one breath, he began to chant incantations and summoned his Earth Elemental Fairy. What came out next was the joint chant of the two of them. Urgingly chanting uninterruptedly and in alternation with the Earth Elemental Fairy, with a speed almost overtaking that of the previous control-summoner. Caier also got in the move, and with her bamboo cane hitting the ground, her body seemed to have turned into a cloud floating in the air, directly charging toward Huang Yis direction. Every ten meters she swept past, her bamboo cane hit the ground once again to borrow force from it, increasing her speed even further. Yellow light soared in the sky, and immediately following, a huge stone fell from it. What all spectators saw to their astonishment was that this [Falling Stones] technique wasnt aiming at Caier, but bumped against the floor at her side. Boom. A loud sound resounded on the ground, as Huang Yi as well as his Earth Elemental Fairy kept chanting, just as before, but without letting out any sound. Soundless chant? This was actually a high ranked technique; to the Mage Temple, it was not something as simple as a secret technique. Clearly, it was Huang Yisst trump card. Simultaneously as hepleted his soundless chant, he silently moved on the side. Too nasty! This guy was taking advantage of the fact Caier had the handicap of being blind. From the lounge, Long Haochen felt very angry about this action. Naturally, after these huge rocks fell on the ground, with boom sounds, Caiers charging speed forward suddenly decreased, as she seemed a bit at a loss, before charging once again without break, directly heading under these huge rocks. Having just seen Caiers charging speed, Huang Yi revealed a helpless look. Seemingly, she only needed three more seconds to be able to arrive to his side. Under such circumstances, he was left without choice. If he let Caier approach closely enough, there would be no opportunity left for him. Feeling apologetic deep inside, he kept chanting jointly with the Earth Elemental Fairy at an increased pace. Just like when he defeated Wang Yuanyuan, he only used the [Earth Waves], to keep himself in an invincible position. Who wouldnt want to enter the top three! If he could win this battle, he would be very likely to enter the top three, seeing that all he would have left to do would be to win against the assassin who sustained extreme wounds during his previous match. Seeing Caier who was heading right toward the huge rocks, he kept chanting very prudently, not exuding any sort of sounds. Then, a yellow halo took shape on his staff, and after a dozen of breaths time, the [Earth Wave] technique waspleted. Chapter 145 - Battle Transcending the Heavens (I)

Chapter 145: Battle Transcending the Heavens (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Huang Yi had prepared beforehand: during the semifinals, if he were to encounter Long Haochen or Yang Wenzhao, he would directly surrender, and would rather fight this assassin for the third position. As long as he could enter the top three, without regard to his ranking, he would obtain a spiritual stove, in addition to the possibility of choosing the youth he had the most expectations in for his Demon Hunt Squad. If he was lucky and directly encountered that assassin in the match of tomorrow, hehe, then it would be even simplier. After having entered the top 2, he would just put everything in stake to aim for the first position. All this time, Huang Yi thought that his own luck during thispetition was really good, especially in regard to the previous group he was associated to. If Wang Yuanyuans disy was just a little better, perhaps he would not even have entered in the top 16. Till now, his luck during the knock-outpetition was also very good. All along, he didnt run up against an extremely powerful opponent; he wished that this luck of his could persist. Just as Huang Yi was in deep thought, developing the possible scenarios ording to his ns, Caier moved suddenly, looking like a ck bolt of lightning, directly charging toward Huang Yis location. This sprint of hers was aplished at an extremely great speed, making her image blurry. Huang Yi instantly felt cold sweat at his back. If not for the fact that he immediately moved to another location, this charge would probably have already ended the match. However, without even letting him the time to rejoice, Caier immediately arrived to the location where he was previously standing. However, she didntunch her attack as Huang Yi expected it, not in the slightest. As her bamboo cane tapped the ground softly, she borrowed its force to charge once again. That extremely tough cane seemed just like a bowstring, pushing out Caiers body. Huang Yi was shaken, _She disappeared?_ Thats right, from his eyes, in the next instant after Caier rushed out, the remnants of her silhouette scattered as she just disappeared. _PengC_ With a sensation on his neck, a heavy blow instantly made Huang Yi lose his consciousness, losing all force. That Earth Elementary Fairy also seemed horrified, as it hastily turned itself into a yellow glow, disappearing into his chest. Huang Yi fell just like that, as behind him, Caiers silhouette could be seen, making use of her bamboo cane, slowly tapping on the ground, to return back to the lounge. From afar Thepetitors who could see this scene all gasped in astonishment, especially this Yang Wenzhao. He really wanted to ask whether this girl was really blind. Clearly, Huang Yi had been deceived. Caier had actually not been affected in the slightest by the [Falling Stones]. Previously, when she stopped, or threw herself at the wrong direction, this was all to puzzle him. Herst charge, directly in the air, was aplished with the use of [Shadow Doppelganger]. Assassin Temple, victor: Caier. Caier directly returned to Long Haochens side and sat down. Seeing her, Long Haochen couldnt help but stare nkly at her. He still remembered clearly how hard his previous fight with Huang Yi was. If not for the fact he summoned Haoyue, he would probably not even have won against him. However, in the front of Caier, Huang Yi seemed so weak. To the extent that Caier didnt even use any of her skills, and crushed him without any difficulty. Caier, you can stay uninfluenced by the sound effects? Long Haochen asked at low voice. Caier replied, Although I am blind, my five other senses are a lot sharper than ordinary peoples. How could I possibly be fooled when it rtes to sound? The magic undtions surrounding him, as well as the scent he let out all enable me to tell out his location. Long Haochen said in a sh, So it was like that. No wonder, the other day, you promised me Mh? Caier, somewhat puzzled, turned her head at a crooked angle. Long Haochen chucked, and said, Im saying, even Yang Wenzhao is probably no match for you. How about reversing our promise? If you can get the first ce, I will be the one to let you hug me. Hearing his words, Caiers pretty face instantly turned red, as she approached him without a single sound. It was no wonder that Long Haochen felt so unconfident when it pertains to her. It wasnt only a question of strength, but if he were to encounter Caier, there was no way he could possibly attack her, let alone going all out against her. As for ranks in thispetition, Long Haochen gave them no importance at all. Just like Huang Yi, as long as he could enter the top three and get the spiritual stove as a reward, it would be sufficient to him. The eight-to-four matches all ended, and the participants of the Demon Hunt Selection who were in the top four were: Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, Mu Ning, and Caier. Among these, Mu Ning was the otherpetitor from the Assassin Temple who came out. When thepetition entered this stage, among the Six Great Temples, there were only people left from the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple. 2 versus 2. From the looks of it, in general, the most powerful ones should be the ones from the Knight Temple. However, Caier was an existence no one here dared to neglect. In the end, the strength of this girl was something that only the people from the Assassin Temple could know of. Even if in the end, Mu Ning were to lose, as long as Caier could be the final champion, the Knight Temples glory would be snatched by the Assassin Temple. Still, the rtion between Caier and Long Haochen was something everyone could see. In History, they were most likely the youngest lovers that belonged to Demon Hunt Squads, and also probably the ones with the most potential. After sending Caier back, Long Haochen went back to his own hotel and headed to Ye Huas room. Teacher. Seeing Long Haochen, Ye Hua revealed a faint smile, Todays match went without a hitch once more? Long Haochen replied with a smile, Im already in the top four! And he detailed how the matches of todat went in detail. Ye Huas eyes shone, as he gentlyughed, Your results are already far exceeding my expectations. It looks like there is no need for you to participate in thepetition a second time. After some time of hesitation, Long Haochen told him, Teacher, theres something I need to consult with you about. Ye Hua said, Tell me. Long Haochen continued, Caier also entered the top four, and shes really strong. I needed to rely on Haoyues power to prevail over Huang Yi, but in front of her, he could not even resist the slightest bit. Tomorrow, the semifinals are going to take ce. If I draw Caier as my opponent, I am thinking about giving up this match, and aim for third ce. Then, I will just have to defeat the other assassin, and as long as I can enter the top three, I will have the opportunity to get a spiritual stove. If tomorrow, my opponent for the semifinals is not Caier, I will definitely go all out. Is it because there is no way you can go against her that you chose to give up? Ye Hua understood this disciple of his the best. Although Long Haochen was naturally kind-hearted, he was determined to win, and would never give up just because his opponent is powerful. Long Haochen slowly nodded his head. After an instant of silence, Ye Hua finally spoke, This is yourpetition, so it is okay for you to make this choice by yourself. Long Haochen was startled. Considering his character, he originally expected his teacher to scold him with curses. Ye Huaughed humbly, Dont think too much, a lot of things are decreed by fate. During thispetition, you already came out above average. After the greatpetition ends, you will enter a Demon Hunt Squad, and starting from there, you will have to make a lot of choices by yourself. Teacher cannot eternally be by your side to help you to make these decisions. However, you have to bear in mind that you must not regret the choice you will make. No matter whats right and whats wrong, you have to make this choice for yourself, and to assume the responsibilities that it implies. Yes. Having gotten Ye Huas agreement, Long Haochen loosened his breath, and said goodbye, before returning to his room to cultivate. The door of his room closed, and Ye Hua silently stood seated there, before softly sighing, Foolish kid, how could it be so simple!? If you both enter the top three, then, ording to the rules of Demon Hunt Squads, you will not be able to be in the same squad. He didnt tell this to Long Haochen, because deep inside, he had selfish envies. Why would he let his disciple abandon so much for the sake of a girl? All should be left for the heavens to decide. What Ye Hua didnt know at all, was that the fact that he didnt exin these regtions of the Demon Hunt Squads to Long Haochen at all would lead him to encounter greatplications. As before, in the Knight Stadium, and after a total of half a month of fierce contest, today, the semifinals were finally going to take ce. When Long Haochen took Caiers hand to head to the stadium together with her, the whole audience waspletely silent. The semifinals was the stage of knights and assassins, and also a fierce contest between these two Great Temples. Today, who was the one going to grab this decisive opportunity? The first thing it was going to depend on was the drawing. Compared to the drawings of the other days, Yang Wenzhao was a lot more serene today. Having reached the semifinals, he didnt have excessive expectations in regard to the quality of his drawing. Although his look was peaceful, it was also very firm. No matter who he would end up against, he was going to go all out to prevail over the opponent. At this moment, he was instead full of expectation to fight Long Haochen or Caier. He knew that if he ended up against Long Haochen, his chances of victory would be higher, but if his opponent was Caier, he wouldntck confidence either. It is for the simple reason that ording to the rules of the Demon Hunt Selection, if an Airbone Knight was up against an assassin, the Airbone Knight would not be permitted to fly. But simrly, the assassin would not get the cover of therge pirs. Han Qian, Ying Suifeng and the rest of the auxiliary hall masters all came to the podium once again. Although the auxiliary hall masters of the other four great Temples were not in a great mood, they were still rtively rxed. After all, thepetitors from their respective Temples were already knocked out. Clearly, Han Qian and Ying Suifeng hadplicated expressions; no one here could guess what they were currently thinking of. A half halo separated the six auxiliary hall masters and the fourpetitors. Han Qian took a deep breath, silently saying, The drawing is about to start. Four heads were simultaneously lifted, falling under the halo. At this moment, among these fourpetitors, the sole serene one was Caier. The six auxiliary hall masters looks were extremely focused, and their perceptions were heightened to their utmost. A historic moment was going to take ce. Luck was an important factor of the previous stages of thispetition, but at the current stage, luck wasnt going to have much use. Chapter 146 - Battle Transcending the Heavens (II)

Chapter 146: Battle Transcending the Heavens (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Not a single breath was heard as the whole stadiumpsed into deathly silence. Everyones vision converged onto the ring of light, as well as the bodies of the four people surrounding it. Lights flickered, and then the drawing stopped. Once everyone saw that the drawing of lots had concluded, they couldnt help but exhale a sharp breath. Yang Wenzhao went into a daze, so did Long Haochen. A hint of helplessness appeared in the corners of Long Haochens mouth. Faintly lowering his head, the event he was most reluctant to see unfold actually happened. Looking at the exact same golden lusters shining on both his and Caiers bodies, he felt his throat go dry. What were the results? Caier asked in a soft voice. Your opponent is me. Long Haochen answered with a bit of difficulty. Oh. Caier answered simply, as if she didnt care a single bit about this result. On the contrary, she directly gripped onto Long Haochens hand. Han Qian also went into a daze. To the Knight Temple, this shouldve been a good draw. However, looking at Long Haochens expression, his heart was a bit unsettled. Drawing concluded. Yang Wenzhao versus Mu Ning, Long Haochen versus Caier. First match, Long Haochen versus Caier. The two of you, remain in the arena and make your preparations. The other Temple heads didnt have any expression out of the ordinary when Han Qian announced the results of the drawings. However, once these results were dered, the resting area immediately dissolved into a raucous mor ofments and discussions. Li Xin was anxious to the point that she stood up. _Lil Bro is about to face off against Caier, how is this any good? They, will they truly go all out against each other?_ Wait a moment. Caier who was stilltching onto Long Haochens arm suddenly interjected. The six auxiliary hall masters that were about to withdraw couldnt help but look towards her in confusion. Caier calmly continued: Just directly start the next match. I concede. _*chatters*, *chatters*_ The whole stadium went into an uproar. Han Qian opened his eyes wide. Concerning this match between Long Haochen and Caier, honestly speaking, he didnt know at all for whom he should have been cheering. From the point of view of the Knight Temple, of course the best would be to let Long Haochen win, so as to let him the finals take ce between Yang Wenzhao and him. However, if Long Haochen were to beat Caier, wouldnt that affect their rtionship? One should know that Caier has the status of Saint Daughter of Samsara! If Long Haochen could unite and marry sessfully with her, then, without the slightest doubt, in some future, the two of them would inevitably be the cornerstones of the Alliance, and this was also the situation the Knight Temple hoped for. Caiers choosing to concede was a conclusion that Han Qian did really not expect. However, after a moment of nking out, his face began to overflow with joy. Without a doubt, to the Knight Temple, Caiers concession was the most ideal oue. It was perfect. However, Ying Suifengs expression grew extremely unsightly as he frantically spoke: Caier, you, you really wish to concede? Caier gave a faint nod, then tugged on Long Haochens arm and headed back to the resting area. Caier, you Caiersst phrase shocked him totally. He had already considered conceding, but didnt think that Caier would be even more direct than him. Not even waiting for the match to start, she simply stole the opportunity and took the initiative to concede. All this truly happened too fast, and only when Caier began pulling Long Haochen towards the resting area did he finally return to his senses. No, it cant be like this. Caier, your strength is greater than mine. Long Haochen earnestly said. Caier gripped his hand, then said in a soft voice: Your glory is my glory. Once Long Haochen heard this simple phrase, it was as if his heart had just been heavily pounded by a hammer, and heated blood rushed to his head, making it so that he couldnt even utter a single word. _Caier, Caier._ Long Haochens eyes moistened, and he no longer obstructed Caiers good will, simply allowing himself to be pulled slowly back to the resting area. As a man, words, no matter how sweet they were, could never equal sincere action. _This tender gesture, allow me to use the rest of my life to repay it. Caier, now that I have you in my life, what more could I ask for? I will never forsake you, and will protect you with my life._ In this moment, the position that Caier held in Long Haochens heart had immediately shot up to be on the same level as his parents. Even if he didnt truly understand the affairs between a man and a woman, Caier had already upied the entire space in his heart. In the center of the arena, Yang Wenzhao stood staring at Mu Ning whose eyes were filled with incredulity. Both of their expressions were simrly wonderful to look at. Never had Mu Ning imagined that the queen of his heart would concede just like that. In his perspective, Caier was definitely going to be the final champion! Yang Wenzhao, on the other hand, felt as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders. As Caier had chosen to concede, naturally, his final opponent would be Long Haochen. It was an extremely wonderful thing that he wouldnt have to face this female assassin. Second round, Yang Wenzhao versus Mu Ning. Have you two made your preparations yet? Yang Wenzhao immediately brought himself back to reality, replying a deep voice: Preparationsplete. However, on the other side, Mu Ning let out a sliver of a bitterugh. The wound he had suffered from the attack yesterday was truly too heavy. Even now, half his body was stillpletely unable to gather strength. To him, todays match had already lost all meaning. I concede. The whole stadium once again went into a cacophonous uproar. Although Mu Ning was extremely unwilling in his heart, he had no other options besides conceding. He didnt even have a chance to take a risk. Based on his current state, as well as his cultivation level, which was not yet at the fifth step, he probably wouldnt be able to block even one attack from Yang Wenzhao. What else could he do but concede? Under these sort of circumstances, even the referee spaced out, involuntary looking in the direction of the tform. Yang Wenzhao is the victor. There were two rounds of semifinals, and they had actually both ended before even starting. The Knight Temple had emerged the most victorious, with both Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao having entered the top two. Everyone, do not move. There will be an announcement in a moment. Han Qians voice resounded from the tform. The participants who had originally prepared to leave halted their steps. In regards to this match, they were a bit disappointed. They had originally thought that they would be able to watch spectacr matches, but instead, there were two straight concessions. After a short period of time, Han Qians voice resounded once again from the podium, With regards to the fact that today, no real match took ce, the finals of this yearspetition will be shifted to an earlier date. They will take ce today, before offering the rewards andpleting roulette ceremony. No one shall leave yet. Shifted to an earlier date? Roulette ceremony? It implied that today, the final champion woulde out, as well as theposition of the ten Demon Hunt Squads. The Demon Hunt Selection was, in itself, a part of the Temple Alliances foundation, and from beginning to end, no one dared acting unseriously with regard to it. Since the semifinals ended like that, this would naturally have the effect of economizing some time. Next, the third and fourth ranked are going toe out. Temple guests Caier and Mu Ning shall go on stage. This time, Han Qian was the one who made this announcement directly. The referee on stage was also switched to someone else, a man who looked to be forty or so years old, with a figure that seemed as sturdy as a mountain. Naturally, he would restrain his aura, but in the instant he appeared on stage, he brought a great pressure upon allpetitors. Could this referee be at the eighth step of cultivation? From the lounge, to these males and females of all ages, forming the outstanding part of their generation, and having experimented much more than most people their ages, the appearance of this referee with his naturally intimidating presence gave off an inordinately formidable pressure. I concede. A cold voice resounded in the whole stadium. Allpetitors, who were previously discussing to themselves, suddenly went silent, and simultaneously gazed to the same direction. Caier, standing there, bowed at the direction of the tform, before sitting down once again. These two previous words were actuallying out precisely from her mouth. Caier, what are you doing? Long Haochen waspletely astonished. However, Caier had already voiced her decision of conceding. Caier calmly leaned her head on his shoulder, The Divine Thrones have to be seeded effectively. Idiot, the three toppetitors cannot be in the same squad, you know! Long Haochens whole body was shaken. _Thats right, the ones in the top three cannot be in the same squad! I How could I have actually forgotten something of such importance?_ _ It It was for my only sake that she conceded two matches in a row, going as far as to not enter the top three _ _And yet, she clearly had the strength to fight over the championship_ Caier, Caier Long Haochen only felt that all the emotions contained in his deepest innerside wereing out at the same time. Unable to bear the urge of spreading his arms with the aim of holding her in their embrace. At that moment, he already didnt know how to voice the extremely intense feeling in his heart anymore. Caierid her palms against his chest, saying in a low voice: Idiot, you havent taken the first ce yet. Hurry up and go. Its time for you to go on stage. Long Haochen grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it hard, I will definitely win. After saying so, his body leaped into the air as if dashing into the arena. Caiers hand was still raised, as she felt that her entire arm had be numb. The pretty face hidden behind the veil at this time flushed crimson in abashment. However, she had never before in her life felt in such a good mood. As it turned out, expending efforts for a person could also bring her happiness. _You said previously that you would protect me forever. How could I not let you have the chance to do so?_ _This idiot, dummy_ Ever since Long Haochen made that promise, she had already determined that this scene would unfold. Speeding into the arena, Long Haochens battle spirit had already risen to an unprecedented level. One could faintly see golden fire burning within his pair of crystal clear eyes. This was the power of love. At present, his current state had already entered an unparalleled high. However, amidst the strong emotions in his heart and his sky high battle spirit, he had unfortunately forgotten an extremely important matter that he neglected to exin to Caier. At this moment, the most unexpected was that the other assassin won third ce due to Caiers concession. Mu Ning stared in Caiers direction like a deer in headlights. For a while, he couldnt think of anything good to say. At times, fortune arrives too quickly, so fast that one cant even attempt to digest it. One must know that to be in the top three meant that one could obtain an iparably valuable spiritual stove as well as have the opportunity to lead and set up his own demon hunt squad. Any one of the top three was bound to be the squad captain of a demon hunt squad. On the podium, Ying Suifeng was furious to the point that his nose had nearly gone crooked. He looked at Han Qian, his face wrathful. Han Qian only responded very innocently, This has nothing to do with me. When a girl is of age, she must be married off! But look, this is also a happy asion. It will promote the rtionship between our two temples further. Furthermore, its very likely that Long Haochen will be our Knight Temples chief cornerstone, and isnt he your Assassin Temples son-inw? Although he spoke this way, the smile on his face was actually extremely devious. Chapter 147 - Battle Transcending the Heavens (III)

Chapter 147: Battle Transcending the Heavens (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales On the middle of the stadium stood that robust referee, who looked at Long Haochen very doubtfully; all gazes were currently directed towards the tform. After a little moment, from the tform, Han Qians voice floated out, Thepetition may continue, lets start the finals. The referee bowed slightly toward this tform, before loudly shouting, Long Haochen against Yang Wenzhao, prepare to battle! This referee was currently in an excellent mood, because he was a part of the Knight Temple, and looking at this final match opposing this pair, although Long Haochen definitely owed this in a great part to luck, this also brought the Knight Temple a sure glory. Yang Wenzhao, who was a lot slower than long Haochen to enter, saluted the referee before gazing at Long Haochen. These two knights who were predestined to be stars for the Knight Temple were going to face each other once again. But this time, it was for the finals of the Demon Hunt Selection. Looking at Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao couldnt help but secretly sigh to himself. He could visibly feel Long Haochens intense fighting spirit. _How could this happen? Caier has conceded two matches in a row for his sake! Could it be that he doesnt feel the slightest bit awkward about that? It was after all a girl that let him win!_ How could he know about the existence of this bet between Long Haochen and Caier? With Caier as his motivation, his thirst for victory had already reached its peak. Furthermore, to Long Haochen, admittedly that it was for his only sake that Caier conceded these two matches, as long as he could beat the expected great-champion-in-the-making Yang Wenzhao, he would amply prove his strength. Although this was the finals, the starting signal was as simple as before. The referee looked at both sides, confirming their identities, and shouted out loudly, Match begins! Beware to behave appropriately, killing the opponent is forbidden! After thisst warning, he hurriedly retreated, and a mantle surrounding them ordingly started to form. Together with the call of the referee, the match began and spiritual energy erupted from both sides. Golden radiances soared up, filled with overflowing fighting spirit. Long Haochens internal spiritual energy that had been stifled for long had immediately been set free, looking a lot brighter than Yang Wenzhaos. Yang Wenzhao wasnt weak either. Facing the great pressure released by Long Haochen, his fighting spirit constantly rose. They didnt say anything, but at this very moment, each of them only wanted to face the opponent he had before their eyes. Long Haochen spread his two hands forward, and the Holy Spirit Sword astonishingly appeared in his left hand, while in his right hand appeared a lump of deep blue-colored halos. Instantly, a blue light shining of gold was shot up as a de simr to a deep radiance appeared. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light finally appeared in his hand, setting foot in the battlefield for the first time. He didnt choose to make use of the effects of the Holy Spirit Set, but chose Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. This also implied that in this battle, Long Haochen had chosen to fight his opponent offensively, in a Retribution versus Retribution way. Simrly, a pair ofrge golden swords came out in front of Yang Wenzhao, as both parties charged simultaneously against each other. They didnt summon their mount, because the distance separating knights was only 20 meters, and since the referee didnt give the order to increase the distance between them, at such a distance separating the two of them, it was very possible that the opponent would be able to decisively take the advantage while one of them took the time to summon his mount. From the lounge, clearly, two lumps of dazzling lights with iparable intensity appeared as the two opponents reached each other. That grandeur filled with resolution, these rich and formidable spiritual energies didnt fail to reveal their formidable strength to everyone. _BangC_ The two youths ruthlessly shed against each other. They crossed without the least bit of gaudiness, before shooting back while turning into two lumps of golden light. In this instant, even if Long Haochen was slightly inferior in terms of cultivation level, he was unexpectedly pushed back one meter less than Yang Wenzhao. Yang Wenzhao was astonished: in the instant when he shed with Long Haochen, he felt a mad sensationing out from Long Haochens body. Thats right, it was precisely [Madness]. The current Long Haochen waspletely ignited! He disyed the greatest fighting strength he had ever shown. [Assault]. Long Haochen relied on the advantage he held from his first attack and in a sh, returned once again,unching an [Assault] at the direction of Yang Wenzhao. As he held the Holy Spirit Sword high above his head, [Holy Sword] condensed, and at the same time, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light erupted, aiming a [Lightning Thrust] at Yang Wenzhao. In a split second, Yang Wenzhao felt as if a flower had appeared before his eyes, only seeing that fantastic heavy sword in his right hand, erupting into hundreds of thousands of rays, just as if it suddenly exploded. But these rays were at least ten fold more numerous than the ones produced by a regr [Lightning Thrust]. A lump of enormous light suddenly exploded into a myriad of threads of light,pletely obstructing any escaping path, oppressing Yang Wenzhao to the extent that he felt somewhat unable to gasp for a breather. _How can a [Lightning Thrust] be so overbearing?_ Yang Wenzhao waspletely astonished and didnt dare to neglect it. His two heavy swords instantly took a defensive posture, andunched [Heavenly Battle Array]. Golden light rose in the air, blocking each thread of light while taking a shape of mantle. It looked like a torrential rain flowed, somewhat separated by the [Heavenly Battle Array]. This was precisely the first particrity of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. It could increase the offensive level of abilities. Through this sword, the attack power was greatly raised. And only after having undergone a lot of attempts did Long Haochen manage tobine [Lightning Thorn] with Blue Rain to such a level. His contract with this Hibiscus was at its greatest level and, naturally, making such power erupt brought incredible effects. How could a [Heavenly Battle Array] possibly block an attack of such intensity? In about the duration of a mere second, [Heavenly Battle Array] exploded and was smashed to pieces. However, having earned a second also gave Yang Wenzhao the time to react. A resonant dragon cry resounded in the whole stadium, as Yang Wenzhao soared in the air with the effects of [Ascending Dragons Strike] before making a dozen swords appear around him. Relying on the defensive and offensive properties of [Ascending Dragons Strike], he finally counteracted the power of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Facing Yang Wenzhao, soaring in the air, Long Haochen supported himself on one foot, before jumping at his turn. As he went after the [Ascending Dragons Strike], a [Holy Sword] was aplished with the sword in his right hand, and released with [Light Thorn]. At this moment, Yang Wenzhaos heroic and formidable character surged out. The [Ascending Dragons Strike] was suddenly stopped as it turned around on the other side, changing its orientation below, and brazenly meeting head on with Long Haochens [Holy Sword]. _Rumbles._ Gold and white shed violently, releasing a lump of rich golden and white halos into the air. Long Haochen, who was directly met by this [Heavenly Dragons Strike], fell directly on the ground, but Yang Wenzhao immediately seized the opportunity to charge once again, as in the corners of his mouth, wisps of blood could clearly be seen. He finally ended up suffering injuries, although light. Long Haochens offense was too fierce. Yang Wenzhao didnt expect in the slightest that after all, he would choose such an aggressive style, without holding the slightest bit back. This was his eventual little mistake. Waving his two swords, Yang Wenzhao drew an outline of fantastic patterns. He wanted to rely on the fact that his body was still soaring in the air, to summon his Starlight Unicorn in this little moment. That Starlight Unicorn had already reached the threshold of the seventh step. Although it had not broken through long ago, it exceeded Hao Yue in terms of ranking. Further adding the deepness of his contract with his Starlight Unicorn and its flight ability, he would definitely be able to make ae back from this disadvantageous situation. However, at this very moment, something Yang Wenzhao didnt expect at all urred. A violent power suddenly sucked him in downward. The formidable attractive power had dragged him directly to the ground. And at this moment, Long Haochen who just fell on the ground didnt give him the slightest opportunity to take a breather, instantly shooting like a bullet from the ground. Swinging his two swords, he revolved while charging at Yang Wenzhao. Evolved Saint Spiritual Stoves second ability, [Pull], linked with [Condemning Revolving Sword]. Although Long Haochen was in midair, his willpower had already ignited to its peak, but still, in these kinds of circumstances, his mind was very sober, calm. Theplete opposite of his fiery attack. Yang Wenzhao bounced back in the air in this split second, and Long Haochen, who determined that his opponent was up to something, instantly let the power of his Saint Spiritual Stove erupt in an eye blink. Enveloped by a white light, he forcefully pulled Yang Wenzhaos body while shooting upwards. In the process, his mount summoning had inevitably been canceled. As a matter of fact, Long Haochen was sessful. When Yang Wenzhao felt a huge attractive force on him, the bnce of his body was broken and his summoning was already interrupted. Immediately, he saw Long Haochens shy [Condemning Revolving Sword], emitting golden rings all around. _Not good!_ In this moment of crisis, Yang Wenzhao didnt dare continue his summoning. Dozens of very little blue drops of light came out from his chest, overflowing from it, and turning into a ball of light, aiming straight at bombarding Long Haochen. It was precisely the Starsea Spiritual Stove. In his currently unprepared state, when facing the [Condemning Revolving Sword] of Long Haochen, who already reached the fifth step of the vocation, he became immediately afraid of ending up injured. On one side, he lost his chance, on the other side, he entered in a state of crisis. Long Haochen currently held an overwhelming advantage. Violently colliding with these numerous brilliances erupting in the sky, released like fireworks, theypletely shocked thepetitors watching from the lounge. Among them, the overwhelming majority was unable to see clearly what was happening, but could vaguely see that both parties seemed to have used a spiritual stoves power. _These two unexpectedly have both a spiritual stove?_ Without a doubt, Yang Wenzhaos Starsea Spiritual Stove was even more formidable, but thesepetitors had their attention fixed even more on Long Haochen. This This was a Saint Spiritual Stove! To a Demon Hunt Squad, possessing a Saint Spiritual Stove user implied to have an enormous supplementary strength. When facing powerful foes, this kind of Demon Hunt Squad will be bound to have advantages from it. If they were to choose, at least 80% of these people would choose to be in Long Haochens squad. The other 20% were either knights or some freaks. Chapter 148 - Decisive battle against Yang Wenzhao! (I)

Chapter 148: Decisive battle against Yang Wenzhao! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At this moment, a lot of people had already forgotten the matter with Caier. No matter whether it was Long Haochen or Yang Wenzhao, the two finalist disyed absolute power exceeding the vast majority of the otherpetitors. Furthermore, from the beginning of the fight, they hadnt even taken out their personal mounts. A great amount of golden, white, blue dazzling light was breaking out in the sky. Atst, two figures fell from the skies, one after another. On Long Haochens Holy Spirit Armor, at least six holes appeared. In fact, they were the result of the Starsea Spiritual Stove, which finally pierced through his defense. On the other side, Yang Wenzhao appeared in a much worse shape. Today, what he was wearing was a golden armor. This golden armor clearly had at least a dozen sword marks on it, especially on its left side. Arge hole was split open in the middle, fresh blood dripping out from it. With a _Wa_ sound, Long Haochen spat out a mouthful of blood. His injuries werent any lighter than Yang Wenzhao; the Starsea Spiritual Stoves might was something that gave Yang Wenzhao a significant advantage. However, as he spat out this blood, he had alreadyunched a charge at Yang Wenzhao. _This guy is simply mad! Could it be that he doesnt even need to take a breather?_ Seeing Long Haochen charge once again, Yang Wenzhao was filled with apletely unwilling feeling. Long Haochens eyes disyed an enormous fighting spirit. However, they also appeared extremely calm. To be able tobine these two splendid qualities together What a frightening existence! Actually, Yang Wenzhao didnt know in the slightest bit that with the external stimtion, Long Haochens constitution of a Scion of Light was gradually influencing his fighting spirit. His physique of a Scion of Light gave him the natural talent called Heart of Light. Under the effect of Heart of Light, in whichever situation he faced, his decision-making power would not get affected by his feelings. And the most formidable innate talent that could be possessed by knights was graduallying out from Long Haochen, in his capacity as the Scion of Light. Fiercely gritting his teeth, Yang Wenzhao chose to not sh head-on with Long Haochen again. _This kid was just insane!_ If this kept up, it would very possibly end up with the two of them being wounded. Furthermore, with theparison between his opponents momentum and his own, it wouldnt be surprising if he was toe out as the loser. As a result, at this moment, Yang Wenzhao did the best he could to calm himself down, going for a defensive strategy, and slowly retreating while unfolding both arms and rapidly drawing the outline of his summoningmand. As long as he could summon his Starlight Unicorn, he would be very likely to win this battle. Yang Wenzhaos retreat was naturally not done by walking backwards as this would not give him any way to keep up with Long Haochens charging speed. His choice was to use [Assault] as well, charging at the opposite direction, swiftly heading to the side whileunching his summon incantation. It could be said that he was going for the side of Long Haochen. At the same time, a starry light glittered from his chest, graduallying out and rapidly covering his whole body. An armor covered his whole body just like a huge mountain; this was the ability of his evolved Starsea Spiritual Stove, Starry Spiritual Armor. With this defense, even if he received several long-ranged attacks from Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao wouldnt be much harmed. But at this very moment, rmed shouts resounded from the lounge. It was a pity that Yang Wenzhao didnt hear these cries of rming from the periphery of the stadium. Actually, the stadium was not only sound-isted from its periphery, but also simultaneously from the whole rest of the world. From the lounge, thepetitors only saw a purple light twinkling, before three giant heads appeared below Long Haochen, standing proudly. It was precisely Haoyue. _He He didnt use any incantation or draw any magic figures toplete this incantation? How is it possible?_ The most confused people over this scene were the summoners from the Spiritual Temple. However, no matter what their guesses could be, Long Haochen hadpleted this summon in an instant. In the instant Haoyue appeared, three spells instantly came out simultaneously. In a sh, a lump of green light fell on Long Haochens body, covering it entirely with its drizzling luster. A lump of red light was puffed from Little mes mouth. And finally, a golden light illuminated Long Haochen, on this blue Hibiscus of Light in his right hand. Three abilities were simultaneously used, aplished without a hitch. The ce where Haoyue appeared was slightly in front of Long Haochen, so Long Haochen was actually on his tail. As a result, at the same time Little Green, Little me and Little Light used his abilities, Haoyue, with his figure appearing more than 4 meters high swiftly waved his tail, taking Long Haochen and throwing him at Yang Wenzhao. An enormous fireball with a meter diameter flew before Long Haochen,pletely concealing his body. It was the ming light that Little me had just created. [Super Bursting Fireball], spell of the fifth step. Originally, it is a spell creating a single fireball, but when exploding, it can disy the power of several spells used at once. And among fire spells of the fifth step, it is one of the best ones in terms of offensive power. In the middle of his summon, Yang Wenzhao suddenly felt a scorching hot feeling at his back. _How can there be a scorching hot feeling?_ His magic figures were about to bepleted, so if it was interrupted in this instant, he was very likely to be at an even greater disadvantage. Therefore, Yang Wenzhao gritted his teeth, his armor letting out a brilliant radiance, appearing just like mes in the sun. Except, these sr mes werent released by his body, but came from his supplementary armor, and they could only persist for three seconds. _Bang C Pa_ The [Super Bursting Fireball] ruthlessly exploded on Yang Wenzhaos body. This was a spell of the fifth step! How could a supplementary armoring from the use of an ability possibly stop it? The sr mes instantly scattered, as the heavy explosion wasunched in the instant the fireball collided with the Starsea Armor, producing a heavy explosion. However, in this instant, Yang Wenzhao reacted contrarily to expectations. In the end, he chose to resist this strike, his magic figures taking advantage of this instant to bepleted. A rich-gold-colored hexagon glittered before him. He was about to summon immediately his Starlight Unicorn, letting this match start anew. But, also in this instant, Yang Wenzhao felt an unprecedented feeling of crisis covering his whole body. He didnt have the time to make any decision at this instant, and turned around desperately, his two swords shing backwards. _Louuu_ Two crossed white brilliances formed an [Instant st Cross Cut], aiming at Yang Wenzhaos two swords from above. A heavy metallic burst sounded in the air, as Yang Wenzhaos two swords were broken and a white de of light ruthlessly aimed at him, splitting open his Star Spiritual Armor as well as the body armor he was d in. This terrifying offensive power directly struck Yang Wenzhao from the air. As blood frantically spread out, Yang Wenzhao had a single interrogation, _How could this happen?_ A white radiance twinkled, pulling the heavily wounded Yang Wenzhao, making his body forcefully move backwards. _Xilulu_. With a long and hoarse cry, the Starlight Unicorn finally came on stage. Relying on a contract of equals, he could immediately feel Yang Wenzhaos crisis, and spreading his two wings, rushed towards Yang Wenzhao without the slightest hesitation. Also at this moment, a white light rose, this time on the Starlight Unicorns body. It originally headed towards Yang Wenzhaos, but it turned without the slightest resistance, heading instead in the direction of Long Haochen. Using [Divine Obstruction] and with his two swords crossed, Long Haochen simply stopped the Starlight Unicorns charge. Although he was pushed a little dozen or so meters back, the Starlight Unicorn was also shaken and receded a few steps back, without the possibility ofunching another sessive charge. Stop! I am not trying to injure him. Long Haochen shouted out loudly to the Starlight Unicorn. The Starlight Unicorn was very obedient, and immediately stopping his charge, had its pair of beautiful eyes filled with a worried expression. It was understandable that he didnt dareunch another attack, as he was actually afraid of the aftermath if he was to wound this little guy. On the other side, Yang Wenzhao was currently facing Haoyue. Little Green bit into Yang Wenzhaos neck without any restraint, while thistter didnt dare move the slightest bit. Still, blood was unceasingly dripping out from his mouth and nose; clearly, his current injuries were extremely heavy. The whole audience fell silent. At this moment of the match, the results were already obvious. Before todays semifinals began, the otherpetitors felt that the final victor of thepetition could be themselves. From the looks of it, the one who had the higher odds of being the victor ought to be the Assassin Temple that had Caier. The strength that Caier had disyed was, after all, too overbearing! In front of her, no one had had a chance of evensting for a quarter of an hour. And immediately after Caier, the other one with great odds of ending up victorious was Yang Wenzhao. He possessed a Starlight Unicorn, and was himself a formidable Retribution Knight of the fifth step. With his overbearing cultivation level, equipment, and the assistance of his Starlight Unicorn, he was supposed to be able to stand against Caier. Between, these two, it was hard to guess who the final champion would be. As for Long Haochen, who was ced third after these two, from a lot of peoples point of view, as a knight, he was still too young. Although he definitely had good talent, there was bound to be a gap between his odd mount and a Starlight Unicorn. And his cultivation level in itself couldnt match Yang Wenzhaos. If not for his rtionship with Caier, there was no way he would have attracted as much attention as these two. As for Mu Ning, it seemed that no one considered him as someone capable enough to enter the top three. From the beginning of todays match to its end, everything that happened hadpletely overturned everyones point of view. Caier went as far as to surrender her own match, and despite the fact she was the favorite for numerous people, atst, she only ended fourth. As for Mu Ning, with his luck of dogs shit, he picked up the third ce. However, in this battle between Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao, thistter was the overwhelming favorite. In fact, it was because the Starlight Unicorns existence was just too overbearing. During this match, Yang Wenzhao proved his formidable strength. Not only did he possess the both offensive and defensive Starsea Spiritual Stove, but furthermore, he had alreadypleted its first evolution! Chapter 149 - Decisive battle against Yang Wenzhao! (II)

Chapter 149: Decisive battle against Yang Wenzhao! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, although the Demon Hunt Squad members in the making and other contestants had guessed Yang Wenzhaos strength, they didnt guess this final oue. Even if at the moment, from their point of view, Long Haochens entire power ought to have been inferiorpared to Yang Wenzhaos, when all was said and done, he had aplished aplete victory. Long Haochen was theplete victor of this match. Unexpectedly, he hadpletely suppressed Yang Wenzhao from beginning to end leaving him no opportunity at all. With this battle aplishment, he became the ultimate victor. A few breaths earlier. Yang Wenzhaos fighting strategy could be said to be quite inurate, but his biggest mistake was his estimation of Haoyue. Long Haochen and Haoyue shared a blood contract. Itpletely linked their blood pulses: even in different locations, they would still remain connected. Each of them could feel the danger the other one was in, and would be the first to rush to the other ones side. Under these circumstances, Long Haochen didnt need any summoning incantations or drawing symbols and could easily summon Haoyue. Furthermore, he could rely on their soul connection to tell Haoyue which abilities he should prepare beforehand. For this reason, as soon as Haoyue appeared, he instantly released three spells: they were precisely the three abilities that enabled Long Haochen to aplish his one-blow-kill, prevailing against Yang Wenzhao before the arrival of his Starlight Unicorn. The first spell was Little Greens [Float], that instantly made Long Haochen a lot lighter. In fact, as an only 14 years-old kid, Long Haochen didnt have much weight, but his armor, plus his two swords were very heavy. After reducing his weight, Haoyues tail became his best weapon, giving him an enormous boost of speed to pursue Yang Wenzhao who was in the middle of [Assault]. The second spell was Little mes [Super Bursting Fireball]. This thing was precisely what enabled him to break Yang Wenzhaos defense, exceeding it by a hairs breadth, making a crack appear in his Star Spiritual Armor. The third ability Little Light used was the light system spell [Buff], quite simr to [Radiant World], with the difference being that it enhances and increases Long Haochens light element. Because of Long Haochens blood pact with Haoyue that interlinked his blood vessels with Haoyue, this portion of light element was transferred to him, immediately turning into two [Holy Swords]. These two [Holy Swords] erupted, turning into an [Instant st Cross Cut], the ultimate blow aimed at Yang Wenzhao. Still, Long Haochen showed mercy with this move, as he didnt use [Holy Sword] with its full might. Otherwise, Yang Wenzhaos body would have already been cut in four. To ultimately defeat Yang Wenzhao, he then simplyunched the ability [Pull] of his Saint Spiritual Stove once again, throwing Yang Wenzhao, who lost all bnce, at Haoyue. Under this threat to Yang Wenzhaos life, even if his Starlight Unicorn was even more formidable, there would still be no way for him to turn the tides. Yang Wenzhaos judgement wasnt wrong: in terms of fighting power, the Starlight Unicorn was stronger than Haoyue, and in the aspect of light systems enhancement, Haoyue had no way topare. However, what he miscalcted was in regard to his estimate of hispanion agreement pact. How could Long Haochens blood contract with Hao Yue possiblypare with his pact of equals with his Starlight Unicorn? If both parties had summoned their mount from the very beginning of the battle, the ultimate result would have very likely been both sides suffering. In his capacity of an Airbone Knight, Yang Wenzhaos odds of victory would be somewhat greater, but with the assistance of the triple-attribute Haoyue, Long Haochen would have some chance. The pity is that strength is not the absolute factor for determining victory or defeat; fighting spirit is very likely to influence the results a lot. Also, tactics are another factor that can very possibly change the oue. Victor, Long Haochen. The referee announced this, and in the next instant, he arrived before Yang Wenzhao. With a sign waved by Long Hoachen, Little Green opened his mouth, doing something to Yang Wenzhao. White radiances of sacred light twinkled one after another, falling on Yang Wenzhaos body and treating his numerous injuries. While the referee was doing his announcement, the Starlight Unicorn, which was let loose, rushed to Yang Wenzhaos side, and looked at the nearby Haoyue with obvious hostility. Long Haochen also used his first use of [Holy Mantle] from his wrist guard, and at the same time, in his hands, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light released a blue radiance all around; this was [Sweet Powder] technique of the water attribute. Under the healing effects of light and water magic, he recovered with the light stimtion while water system eased up his wounds and gave some vitality back to him. When both were used together,plementing each other, the healing effect was greatly increased. During this battle, it had looked like Long Haochen hadpletely overpowered and suppressed Yang Wenzhao, but in reality, the pressure he had received was also extremely great. From beginning to end, his attacks were uninterrupted. Otherwise, how could Yang Wenzhao, considering his cultivation level, possibly be left with no way to summon his Starlight Unicorn? In such circumstances, he would obviously be subject to a great pressure himself. And in this instant, Long Haochen had a superiority that spectators couldnt see; it was precisely about his external spiritual energy. In regard to his internal spiritual energy, Long Haochen was an Earth Knight at the first rank, but inparison, Yang Wenzhao was, for sure, at least an Airborne Knight at the third rank. However, his external spiritual energy was something that Yang Wenzhao couldnt possibly match. With Haoyues two evolutions, the external spiritual energy circting in his veins was greatly increased. And the mystical sword Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light brought constant growth to his body. Yang Wenzhao had very likely an external spiritual energy only of 100, that could definitely not reach 200. Inparison, Long Haochens external spiritual energy was probably higher than 400. Only, since he didnt go through the magical test of estimation, he didnt know how high his external spiritual energy was. Superiority in terms of external spiritual energy led to Long Haochen prevailing by far over Yang Wenzhao. Although it was also his continuous use of skills that led to his own injuries, it was still within his limit. Looking at the radiance of the dazzling Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, Long Haochen thought to himself that if a [Holy Sword]bined with [Instant st Cross Cut] wasnt enough to bring him victory, he would really have to use the most powerful supplementary skill of this sword. Only, it would also lead to him being greatly injured in the process. An enormous white pir rose from Yang Wenzhaos body; it was a skill used by the referee to restore his strength. [Saint Heal], Guardian Knight skill of the eighth step. So the referee of this finals was actually a Saint Knight of the eighth step. Under the effect of [Saint Heal], the enormous wound on Yang Wenzhaos back started to heal at an astonishing speed, and he stood up with the help of the referee. Directing his gaze toward Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao had aplex look. He didnt expect that he would really lose. Lose against a youth obviously a lot younger than him. The first time he met him, he was still a knight of the fourth step. At that time, although he was quite impressive, he still had no chance at all in front of him. However, after a mere month, he managed to beat him like this. A loss was a loss; Yang Wenzhao wouldnt go look for an excuse. If the opponent was a demon, he would have already been turned into a corpse. Taking a deep breath, Yang Wenzhao nodded, looking at the referee and hinting that he could stand by himself. Then, this Saint Knight let his hand loose. Yang Wenzhao, advanced, taking little strides in Long Haochens direction. His face was very pale, but theplex expression in his eyes slowly disappeared. _He has something to tell me?_ Long Haochen saw Yang Wenzhao approaching him with haste. You won. Yang Wenzhao had a feeble voice. I just made use of tricks. The fighting spirit that was umted in Long Haochens eyes had already disappeared, and his handsome face had, as before, a pure and childish feel. From his face, he looked embarrassed, and disyed a very bright smile. Looking at his face, Yang Wenzhao became slightly low spirited: he was defeated by such a young knight! This is your victory. But in a near future, when well bepeting for the Secret Silver Foundation Seat, I will definitely not lose against you. As he spoke, Yang Wenzhao extended his right hand toward Long Haochen. Long Haochen simrly stretched his right arm forward, It seems that you are forgetting the group formation that is about to take ce. Yang Wenzhaos face revealed a bitter smile, as he slowly shook his head. We will be continuously moving forward, for the glory of knights. Yang Wenzhaos right fist formed a punch, aimed at his left chest. For the glory of knights. Long Haochen was still saluting. In the direction of the podium, the higher-ups of the Six Great Temples advanced toward the stadium, one after another, heading to their side. Han Qians voice sounded once again in the whole field. This Demon Hunt Selection Competition ends. Winner: Long Haochen, Second ce: Yang Wenzhao, Third ce: Mu Ning. Next, the roulette ceremony is going to take ce; all the top 60petitors of this year are to advance. After a total duration of a month, the Demon Hunt Selection finally ended. The ultimate result exceeded everyones expectations. The Knight Temple took the top two seats and ended up as the ultimate winner, and Long Haochen made a name for himself after a single match. He won and became champion, at barely 14 years old, and also became the youngest champion of the history of the Demon Hunt Selections. However, deep inside of his heart, this win didnt belong to him, but to that young girl who supported him in the shadows, unknown to everyone else. Under the guidance of the staff members, everypetitor slowly entered. On the other side, a dozen of staff members moved as well, heading toward an enormous wheel. It was in a circr terrace that had a diameter above 20 meters, with, on it, a huge roulette. Thepetitors stood on two sides, under the guidance of some staff members. Among them, those who entered the top 16 were in the left row, whereas the rest of the people were in the rear. Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao stood side by side, gazing at an enormous roulette in front of them. Suddenly, Long Haochen seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face changingpletely. Quickly turning around, he looked for the silhouette of Caier in the crowd. As he was about to join up with Caier, he had something of the utter importance to tell her. At this moment, Han Qians voice sounded once again, Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, Mu Ning, go up on stage. Chapter 150 - Decisive Battle Against Yang Wenzhao(III)

Chapter 150: Decisive Battle Against Yang Wenzhao(III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the same time, a gentle mantle of light was released in the air, wrapping Long Haochen and the two other youths in it, and transporting them onto the tform, beside the terrace where the roulette was. Han Qian said in a low voice, In your capacity as the first threepetitors, you will have the privilege of being able to choose one teammate in priority for your own squad. However, everything will be taking ce ordingly to the rules: from beginning to end, you are not tomunicate in any way with external people, until the teams are formed. Feeling greatly anxious, Long Haochen said with haste, Elder Saint Knight, can I just say a little something to a friend of mine, just a few words? Sanshui, the Spirit Emperor from the Spiritual Temple immediately gave her reply, Havent you heard the words of the elder Saint Knight? These are the rules of the Alliance, how could we let you bypass them? Originally, the other Temples felt somewhat gloomy about the fact the Knight Temple got the first two ces, so naturally, in regards to the rules, they wouldnt be flexible with Long Haochen. Long Haochen turned was again his head around, looking at Caier. He had something he really wanted to tell her, however Caier couldnt see! Even if his nce could express twice as much, would it even be of use? Under the urgings of the staff members, Long Haochen was finally left with no other choice but to head up to the circr desk together with Yang Wenzhao and Mu Ning. Han Qian gave a puzzled look to Long Haochen, but at this moment, he couldnt say anything about that, due to his capacity as Alliance representative. In ordance with the procedures, he said in a deep voice, You three obtained the first three ces. For this feat, you will each have a chance to directly choose one person as your teammate in your future Demon Hunt Squad. As long as the other party agrees, he will directly be part of your Demon Hunting Squad. Long Haochen, you got the first ce, so you will be the first one to choose. That mantle of light released on the tform isted it from all foreign influence, but it didnt mean that the sound inside of it could not be perceived. But Long Haochen couldnt possibly know of this! Otherwise, even if he had to shout it loudly, he would definitely let the extremely important matter he had in hearte out. Long Haochen looked at the somewhat dull Han Qian, whose face appeared to have turned paler than before, before looking at Caier, who was standing on the first row, as his body slightly swayed. No matter whether it was the six auxiliary hall masters, or Yang Wenzhao and Mu Ning standing by his side, everyone couldnt help but have doubts. _What is he hesitating about? Could it be that, aside from that girl, there could be another possible choice?_ _However, how could that be possible?_ Even the most perspicacious people were unable to guess what he could be thinking about. It was precisely for his sake that this girl surrendered two matches in a row. Otherwise, todays ranking couldnt possibly be like that. Everyones gaze was sticked at Long Haochen. But to him, all of this was too sudden! He had no way to tell Caier his idea. Outside from the mantle of light, Caier silently stood up. She was also feeling somewhat sluggish, _Hasnt he already let you make his choice? Why doesnt he say it? What is he waiting for?_ Li Xin was currently standing behind Caier, while Lin Xin was also standing nearby. At this very moment, all of them felt extremely nervous. Li Xin understood Long Haochen only too well; although hes very young, he had qualities that a lot of adults would never have: modesty, honesty,passion, courage, fairness, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, love, justice; the Ten Standards of a Knight could almost all be seen in him. He He will not choose this useless mage, will he? If its really the case, what about Caier? Lil bro! You are not going to be a viin, are you? Seeing this frail silhouette, Li Xin secretly prayed to herself, unknowingly bingpletely soaked in sweat. Lin Xins current state of mind was alsoplex. All along, he had been looking at these days ofpetition. When, at that time, he staked everything on Long Haochen, it was as a tentative n for five yearster, for the sake of realizing his dream. However, he absolutely didnt expect that during thispetition, Long Haochen would actuallye out as one of the stars, obtaining the ultimate ce of champion. Naturally, he also knew of the two matches Caier surrendered, and was able to notice their intimate rtionship. In this instant, would Long Haochen still choose him? If it was instead him, which choice would he make? Lin Xin didnt know, he couldnt give himself a straight answer. In his current state, his mind was almost nk, and looking at Long Haochen standing afar on the tform, his five senses werepletely mixed up. On a side was his close female friend, and the most outstanding person of the Assassin Temple as well as the number one of her generation, and called the Assassin Empress by all other assassins participating in thepetition, Caier. On the other side, a mage who cannot use offensive magic who relied on luck and scheming toe out sessful during the preliminaries. On one side was the one he had to protect for his whole life, the girl who surrendered all glory for his sake. On the other side, a promise forced upon him. Lin Xin secretly pondered to himself: in such circumstances, which choice would he make? On stage, Ying Suifeng felt extreme anger, still unsatisfied from the choice Caier made today. Although this girl wasnt anything he could possibly control, she represented the glory of the Assassin Temple. For the sake of another, she abandoned all glory. If it was someone else, Ying Suifeng would definitely severely punish him. However, even though Caier sacrificed so much for him, for him to be now hesitating in spite of everything, could he still call himself a man of honor? What are you still waiting for? Hurry up to make up your mind. In his anger, Ying Suifeng waspletely ice-cold, as he couldnt help but let out these words, shouting loudly. Long Haochen feltpletely shaken. Coming back to his senses, he finally had to face the reality. At that instant, he was already unable to change his mind anymore. Tightly clenching both fists, he abruptly lifted up his head, using almost all his strength to say in a deep voice, I choose Lin Xin from the Mage Temple. What? Rumbles.- On stage, everyone was crying out in surprise, and off stage, a huge uproar urred. Simultaneously, three people cried out extremely loudly, the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple, Han Qian, the Majestic Heroic Assassin Lord from the Assassin Temple, Ying Suifeng, as well as the Magic Regiment Leader from the Mage Temple, Lin Chen. The other three auxiliary hall masters were also astonished, but in the end, still managed to control themselves. What did you say? Ying Suifeng took a step forward, grabbing Long Haochen from his Holy Spirit Armor and releasing a terrifyingly enormous pressure toward thistter. Han Qian made haste to take a step forward and grabbed Ying Suifengs shoulder, Dont be impetuous. Haochen, didnt you make a mistake? How can it be? On the side, the Saint Mage Lin Chen stared at him, anxiously waiting for his answer. He absolutely didnt expect that the choice of this child, the hope for the future of the Knight Temple and champion of thepetition, would be his own grandson. Long Haochen revealed an agonizing look: I am not mistaken, my choice is Lin Xin from the Mage Temple. He is also one of the top sixtypetitors. The first time Long Haochen said he chose Lin Xin, Caier, who was originally calmly standing suddenly turned rigid, her face appearing lifeless. Gripping the bamboo cane and tightening her hand, at that moment, all she could feel was that her mind was turning nk, and that her six senses had disappearedpletely. _Did Did I mishear him?_ In that nk world, Caier tried to ask herself. _But how could I mishear his voice? My hearing is at least twice better than ordinary peoples._ _He chose Lin Xin? That Lin Xin who cannot use offensive magic? The Lin Xin who was in my subgroup?_ _Why_ This word was currently flowing in Caier with matchless presence. _What about his promise? He said said he would protect me for all his lifetime._ _ But, the one he chose wasnt me. Why So cold, I suddenly feel so cold, so painful. Where does this cold and painful feelinge from? Could it be from My heart? It hurts so bad, all because of him. The scenery shing before my eyes was originally all ck, but now it became all grey. _ _Why_ Caier! Caier! Listen to me, theres a reason why Haochen chose Lin Xin, you have to listen to my exnation! Li Xin anxiously stood at Caiers side, calling out to her. However, at that very moment, Caier seemed like she lost her soul. She was silently standing at the same ce as before, but it seemed as if she had discarded everything rted to the outside world. In this very instant, Long Haochens second deration was transmitted from inside of the mantle of light. I am not mistaken, my choice is Lin Xin from the Mage Temple. He is also one of the top sixtypetitors. Hearing his voice once again, Caier seemed to sober up. However, in the next instant, an intense chillness instantly burst out from the core of her body. Li Xin, who was the closest to her, could only feel as if the peaked-leveled chillness was tearing her soul apart, as her body fell back involuntarily. It wasnt only her: the otherpetitors at Caier side also retreated extremely quickly and in all directions. _PafC_ The bamboo cane in Caiers hand sank in the ground, until only its handle could be seen. _WaC_ , blood was spat out from her mouth. Little by little, her body turned numb. Caier. A slim silhouette appeared suddenly, as if tearing space at the same time. The one holding her soft body in his arms was precisely that thin elder that was previously in the Alliances Treasure Vault. You, bastard. Im going to kill you. Terrifying ck colored light suddenly shed in the sky, as a formidable might in the pinnacle of power wrapped the whole stadium, turning the light rays into dark. The astonishing killing intent made the faces of the elites from the Six Great Temples pale in fright, as they fell back. Like an extremely sharp de, the ck radiance reached the mantle of light covering the tform in a sh. At this very moment, the golden pir was abruptlypletely destroyed, despite the fact that its diameter exceeded 30 meters, but against all expectation, as soon as the ck de-shaped radiance reached the pir of light, it disappeared noiselessly. Yang Haohan, if you dare try to stop me, Im going to kill you first. The thin elder was inplete wrath, his unmatchable killing intent going as far as to take shape in his back. Behind him was condensed an enormous de with a length of ten meters and a width of three meters, as the extremely cold radiating de arose abruptly, rippling all around it. At this very moment, inside of the golden pir of light, a nearly 33 meters high enormous throne appeared, with a somewhat swollen appearance. Behind it were erected countless gems, forming the shape of a dazzling shield in the middle of it. Thick and pure aura was scattered from it, with awe as great as a mountain. Under its influence, the slim elders formidable killing intent had no way to keep advancing. Chapter 151 - This is the Hug You Owe Me (I)

Chapter 151: This is the Hug You Owe Me (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales On top of the throne was an enormous circr white gem, letting out a gentle sensation that was circting around and leaving the powerhouses of the Six Great Templespletely rmed and restless. It felt as if nothing else existed in this world, as no one in the area could sustain any kind of injuries. On therge seat were tortoise-shell patterns, extending downwards just like the legs of an elephant, with two enormous armrails rising up on the sides. This throne appeared just like a sculpture. Countless thick, decorative symbols were drawn on the two sides of the back, spreading up to the corners of this throne, giving off an impression of spring fragrance. With a light sigh, an old and deep voice echoed, Brother Sheng Yue, no need to get impatient. Putting aside the fact that everything is in ordance with the rules and regtions, Haochen didnt do anything wrong. Even if he did do something wrong, why not let him exin everything first? Wearing a white gown withrge sleeves, Yang Haohan calmly stood before that huge throne. Facing the iparable throne behind him, even the bearded, ck-d, slim elder Sheng Yue couldnt help but stay motionless. Even if some youths participating in the Demon Hunt Selection couldnt recognize it, how could Sheng Yue not? This was precisely one of the six great Divine Thrones, the one known as the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy! Wearing his white gown, Yang Haohan turned out to be the Divine Knight of Defense and Strategy who watched over the Alliances headquarters, and the current leader of the Temple Alliance. Yang Haohan, are you trying to stop me? No matter how strong Sheng Yue was, in front of the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy, he couldnt exert absolute dominance. This was because he knew that despite the fact that he was also at the ninth step, there was no way for him to break Yang Haohans defense with his offensive power. Yang Haohan replied in a deep voice, Brother Sheng Yue, even I didnt know that this little guy would bring such inconvenience. However, you are the first of the auxiliary alliance leader. In the presence of so many elites of the younger generation of the Six Great Temples here, for the glory of the Alliance, please control yourself. The affairs of the youth should be left for them to settle among themselves. Apanying this speech, an aura of supreme prestige was released from Yang Haohans body, and with a wave of his hands, a golden halo of light wrapped him and this hero of the ninth step, Sheng Yue. Sheng Yues appearance at this very moment, and before the eyes of Long Haochen, was a vition of the rules of the Alliance. He didnt want this event to affect the opinion these youths held toward the Alliance, so he disconnected their voices from the external world. Sheng Yue spoke back furiously, Stop telling me such obvious facts; my great-granddaughter received critical mental damage! What do you have to say about it? Yang Haohan replied, Sheng Yue, calm down. A few days ago, my grandson was wounded heavily by this great-granddaughter of yours, what do you have to say about that? Sheng Yue fell silent before quibbling with a few words, My great-granddaughter is the Saint Daughter of Samsara. You should know how important she is to the Alliance From the gradual changes on his face, Yang Haohan appeared to have be furious, Sheng Yue, youre really bing unbearable. Im going to arrest you. The Saint Daughter of Samsara is indeed heavily important, but Haochen was born with the constitution of the Scion of Light. His innate internal spiritual energy is 97! So, how important is he to our Knight Temple? Sheng Yues face turned nk, What did you say? A Scion of Light? Yang Haohan coldly groaned, Your eyesight is far from being as good as your great-granddaughters. Sheng Yue came back to his senses and blurted out in anger, What use is there to say that? This little bastard just treated my great-granddaughter like that, even after she did so much for him! I dont care! If this matter is not made clear today, in the future, everything between my Assassin Temple and your Knight Temple will be over. Great-grandfather, dont. Awaking from her long half-unconscious state, Caier happened to hear the greatest part of the conversation the two old heroes had. Taking off her veil, covered by blood, she revealed her pale and delicate face. Around her grey pupils, blurred ripples appeared as she slowly stood straight in front of Sheng Yue. Great-grandfather, this affair is something between me and him. Dont interfere in it. Sheng Yue waspletely furious, This little brat treated you like this, and yet, you still want to defend him?! Caier shook her head and replied, He didnt do anything wrong. If this was his choice, then let it be. Great-grandfather, you cannot affect the rtionship between our two Temples because of us. Sheng Yue looked at Caier before looking at Yang Haohan, with the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy at his back. Then, in anger, he said, Lets leave. In the end, he was an auxiliary chief of the Alliance, and as such, how could he not realize how serious the current general situation was? Caier shook her head once again, Great-grandfather, go on first. Sheng Yue gave her a puzzled look, asking, What are you remaining here for? To be humiliated over and over by this little bastard? He was naturally irascible, but in fact, it was all for the sake of this fabulous great-granddaughter of his. Otherwise, why would he impetuously appear for such a little matter? In Caiers blind eyes, a surge of distress appeared as she quietly said, I just want to ask him something. Why? On stage. Let me go! Long Haochen bellowed furiously to Ying Suifeng. Because he was facing these six auxiliary hall masters, he couldnt see the scene that was urring at his back. The mantle of light isted the tform from the sound behind him. And as for the changes in the surrounding light, he gave it next to no thought. Although he couldnt see it, how could he not know how much pain Caier experienced, hearing him choose Lin Xin over her? Grabbed by Ying Suifeng, he had no way at all to proceed. Though confronting him, Ying Suifeng still saw the situation unfolding behind Long Haochen. His eyes were stuck on Sheng Yue and Yang Haohan, the two powerhouses of the ninth step that had appeared simultaneously on stage; he knew that this matter wasnt something he could possibly influence. As Long Haochen was finally released, he was extremely indignant. It was Han Qian that took a step forward to support his falling body. It looked as though Long Haochen didnt feel the slightest bit of the formidable power and pressure released by Ying Suifeng. In that instant, it looked as though he knelt down without the slightest hesitation before Han Qian. Elder Saint Knight Head, I have a request. Han Qian naturally saw the situation outside, and felt gloomy about the out-of-control situation that was urring. With a sigh, he asked in return, What is your request? Long Haochen said firmly, I want to renounce the awarded spiritual stove that was the prize for first position in this years individualpetition, and request that the Alliance let me choose another teammate in exchange. What? Han Qian once again appearedpletely shocked, Youre saying you want to renounce the spiritual stove? One must know that it was almost entirely for the sake of this reward that this Demon Hunt Selection was on the spotlight. It could be said that even the most average spiritual stove was already a treasure from heavens. And in spite of everything, he wanted to renounce his right to the spiritual stove? The other auxiliary hall masters looked at each others in dismay. For a moment, they seemed at aplete loss. Han Qian couldnt help but shout furiously, Do you know what the hell you are ying around with?! Long Haochen said in a resolute tone, Senior Saint Knight Head, I am not ying around. If the Alliance cannot grant my request, I will renounce my rights to enter a Demon Hunt Squad. Then, five years from now, I will enter thepetition once again. When the momentes, my request will be the same. If, as before, the Alliance is unable to grant my request, then I will not join a Demon Hunt Squad. It is out of the question! The six auxiliary hall masters seemed to have yelled out these same words at the same time. For Han Qian, it was because he was afraid of Long Haochen not entering a Demon Hunt Squad. Demon Hunt Squads are actually the only road someone from the Six Great Temples can tread to truly reach a high status and are also the best path for ones growth. Possessing the physique of the Scion of Light, if Long Haochen, who obtained the first position for the Demon Hunt Selections, was to renounce his entry into a Demon Hunt Squad, it would very likely ruin his future. As for the five other auxiliary hall masters, they were actually thinking differently. To participate once again five yearster? Seeing that he is the number one of this year, who would possibly be able to contend against him five yearster? He was bound to be number one once again. How could they be willing to see someone no one could possibly be a match against participate once again five yearster? Long Haochen lowered his head and said, Please agree to my request. Han Qian said in a deep voice, Then, who is the person you want in your team? Long Haochen immediately raised his head and replied, It is Caier from the Assassin Temple. Although I want to choose one more person, it should not oppose the fair aspect of thepetition. Lin Xin didnt get into the top 16, and Caier is the one I absolutely want to pick. I had to pick Lin Xin first only because I had a prior agreement, but Caier is the one I want to protect throughout my whole life, so I simply cannot be separated from her. If both sides cannot be satisfied with this, I will simply renounce bing a Demon Hunt Squad member, and follow Caier. Wherever she will be, I will be in the same ce. Outside of the mantle of light. Caiers distressed look turned lifeless, while Yang Haohan and Sheng Yues faces turned magnificent. _To cause such a ruckus, so this little kid still had this kind of move in his hand?_ For a moment, the two great powerhouses of the ninth step felt torn betweenughter and tears. Yang Haohans gloomy mood was even a bit more intense than Sheng Yues. _What the hell is this? So there was actually such a twisted means for him to get to his goal. However, how is it that this little kid didnt tell everything clearly to that youngdy beforehand? This was so silly from him._ Truthfully, this couldnt be med on Long Haochen. First of all, today had been the semifinals. How could he have predicted that they would directly proceed with the finals today? Not to mention that, with Caiers strength, Long Haochen hadnt even consideredpeting for the top two positions, especially after the lots had been drawn for the semifinals and it had turned out that he had been matched against Caier. Naturally, he wouldnt reveal his thoughts to her. In his mind, he was originally going to take the initiative to concede, and Caier would ultimately be one of the top three. Long Haochens ns had been identical to Caiers, to the point that he had considered escaping his promise with Lin Xin by giving up the match for 3rd ce. After five years, he would again attend the Demon Hunt Selection and choose Lin Xin then. But who wouldve thought that Caier would concede twice in session, thoroughly ruining Long Haochens ns. Furthermore, at that moment, the finals had already begun, and all Long Haochen could think about at the time was winning the championship to hug Caier. If instead, the finals were held on the next day, even though Long Haochen would have been in an extremelyplex mood after seeing that Caier conceded for his sake, he still would not have forgotten such an important matter. Even after the finals had started, Long Haochen had still assumed that there would be an opportunity tomunicate with Caier. He didnt imagine that the regtions of the roulette would not only prohibit him from going back to Caiers side, but they also isted him from the outside, making him misunderstand, thinking that his voice wouldnt be transmitted outside. Chapter 152 - This is the hug you owe me(II)

Chapter 152: This is the hug you owe me(II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This situation that emerged from coincidence after coincidence led him to be unable to exin himself to Caier. After choosing Lin Xin, he was immediately grabbed by Ying Suifeng and didnt have the asion to dere the fact that he wanted to renounce the opportunity to get a spiritual stove. Restraining the golden light and withdrawing his Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy, Yang Haohan turned around and looked at Long Haochen, who still stood behind the tform. Then, with a groan filled with fury, he lifted his right hand, releasing with his grip the mantle of light. Immediately, the whole stadium shook violently as this mantle of light vanished. Alright, the formation of the squads, using the roulette, will be conducted tomorrow. All contestants are to head back and rest. All Hall Masters are to remain, and Long Haochen, you remain. Hearing Yang Haohans instruction, Long Haochen turned his head around; he didnt actually look at Yang Haohan, but towards Caier. Caier. Seeing her outward appearance and her pale face, Long Haochen felt as if he was struck by a de. Not even taking notice of the extremely mighty elder Yang, he chased after Caier. Scram! Sheng Yue bellowed in rage, and with a wave of his hand, an irresistible pressure was applied to Long Haochens body, which sent him flying back to the center of the podium. This time Yang Haohan didnt intervene to stop the attack. Whatever one may say, Long Haochen was the one who hurt the feelings of Sheng Yues great-granddaughter. If this time, he hadnt let Sheng Yue take out his anger, he would definitely not let this matter go by. Furthermore, he had already told Sheng Yue previously about Long Haochens constitution of Scion of Light, so he believed Sheng Yue would act with moderation. At this moment, a fiery red-colored radiance shone, just like a sort of stove, upon the side, aiming below Long Haochens body. The precisely controlled red, circr brilliance, gently applied and released, had the unexpected effect of pushing Long Haochen back with a great momentum, helping Long Haochen fall on the middle of the podium more steadily. Noble senior,dy Caier, dont me him. This is all my fault. Everyones eyes turned towards the young man with elegant dark green-colored hair. It was Lin Xin, advancing at a great pace toward Long Haochen and the mighty Sheng Yue. The current him looked a lot less showy than before, appearing a lot more steady and calm. Facing Sheng Yue, he threw himself on his knee, Noble senior, if you want to punish someone, please punish me. By the time Long Haochen arrived to Holy City, I had already met him earlier in Aimei City, and deceived him, making him give me his word. Sheng Yues look eyes had a very cold glint, Speak. The Saint Magic Tutor gave a distressed look to Lin Xin, suddenly having a fright. Still, he didnt stop this grandson of his. This matter involved powerhouses of the ninth step and made them personally take action, so even with his status, there was no way for him to intervene in this. Lin Xin knelt there with a very sincere look, That day, in Aimei City, I gave him three bottles of pills in exchange of the promise that if Long Haochen were in the future to acquire a seat in the top three, he would choose me as his squad teammate. However, when I made him make this promise to me, I concealed from him the fact that I am actually unable to use any offensive magic. As of now, he should already know about this matter, but even after bing the champion of thispetition, he still didnte back to his word, and chose me. I think you too hope for your granddaughters man to be someone who honors his words. This matter is my own fault, as I am the one who deceived him. I wish to be the one to take responsibility for todays matter. I want to nullify the promise we made at that time; Ive no need to join his squad, so please give this honor tody Caier. Sheng Yue snorted in fury, So now your permission is necessary for Caier to be in someone elses squad? At that moment, after having gone to Lin Xins side, Long Haochen threw himself on his knee. In Sheng Yues capacity as Caiers biological great-grandfather, he deserved this act of kneeling. His eyes were filled with a straightforward look as he said in a deep voice, Honorable senior, this was a fair exchange and I dont believe I made a mistake by agreeing to it. My mistake was to leave Caier broken-hearted. However, you cannot interfere in this choice of mine, let alone punishing Lin Xin. Thats right, Lin Xin hid the fact he is a mage who cannot use any offensive magic from me. However, he gave me, as a present, three bottles of pills, containing a total of 30 pills of the fourth tier. If not for this fact, how could I be so generous toward him? Since I chose to ept these pills, I also epted the other, uncertain, part of the deal. Thus, even if you let me make this choice once again, I will still choose him. For Caiers sake, I can sacrifice my life, but as this promise was something I had already given earlier, I have to respect it. As he spoke, Long Haochen pulled Lin Xin by his side, and unexpectedly stood up with him. Although Yang Haohan had already given the order for the otherpetitors to leave, these youths unconsciously stopped moving when Lin Xin made his appearance,. These previous words of Long Haochen were absolutely categorical. Even in front of Sheng Yue, he didnt shrink back in the slightest. Let alone these youths participating in this samepetition, even the six auxiliary hall masters werepletely bbergasted. This kid dared to go against the one known as having the worse temperament in the whole Alliance, Sheng Yue! Furthermore, he did so in front of so many people! Sheng Yues bad temperament was something well-known throughout the entire Alliance, so this matter was unfortunately most likely to have extreme repercussions. Sheng Yue looked at Long Haochen with a clearly astounded expression. He didnt know how long it had been since anyone, even of the same status, dared to contradict him, let alone a junior. Yang Haohan had unconsciously already shifted to Long Haochens side. Although he felt gloomy looking at this scene, Long Haochen was not only the Scion of Light, but also the only son of the one who possessed the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter, the Abdicator of the Knight Alliance, the Divine Knight Long Xingyu! If Sheng Yue reallyunched an attack with the impulse of the moment, if anything were to happen, he had to protect Long Haochen. More importantly, deep inside, he felt that Long Haochen hadnt said anything wrong. Shut up! Caier suddenly shouted, her silhouette turning into a blur, charging at Long Haochen. Her right hand carried a dark-gold-colored-dagger, directly aiming at Long Haochens chest. She understood, only too well, her great-grandfathers temperament, and really feared that he may really act personally on this matter. Even if Yang Haohan, the Divine Knight of Defense and Strategy and the leader of the Alliance, was there, this great-grandfather of hers was really enraged by Long Haochen. How could she permit Haochen to stay with him. When everything happened, she was calmly listening all along. She came to understand that all of this was a mere misunderstanding. In her heart, she no longer med Long Haochen the slightest bit, even though she was in such internal pain a bit earlier. The only one she med was herself for not having been able to trust him and wait for an exnation. If not for the fact she had spit out blood, why would her great-grandfather have shown himself, viting the rules of thepetition. As she was the first tounch an attack, her great-grandfather naturally didnt get his own chance to do so. Everything happened in a split second. With consideration to Long Haochens cultivation level, perhaps her great-grandfather would cool down after he withstood a few blows of hers. However, what Caier didnt expect in the slightest was that, in front of her attack, Long Haochen simply stood there, without the slightest reaction aside from moving his wrist and instantly taking off his Holy Spirit Armor. The dark-golden dagger stopped a meter from Long Haochens chest, as Caiers voice quivered violently, You Why arent you avoiding my attack? Long Haochen looked at Caiers pale face and lifted up his hand, slowly lifting her veil. With a single nce, he had seen some remnants of blood on the veil, and in that instant, felt his heart tightening like it was under great pressure. Long Haochen said in a gentle voice, I promised to stand by your side and have I no regrets about that. I didnt vite the rules of thepetition either. However, I owe you an exnation. For having let you get wounded, I wronged. For this reason, I have to be punished. A white light shot up from Long Haochens chest, instantly aiming at the dark golden dagger in Caiers right hand. Saint Spiritual Stoves evolved ability, [Pull]. In such a close range and with such a sudden timing, even a powerhouse of the ninth step couldnt possibly stop this. _Aipi._ The dark golden dagger in Caiers hand was instantly pulled, prating Long Haochens chest until only the handle could be seen. The tip of this dagger came out from Long Haochens back, and blood instantly spread out from his chest and his back, covering his entire jacket. However, Long Haochen seemed as if he didnt feel this stab. Spreading his two arms, he linked his arms to hold Caier in his embrace and said in a mild voice, This is the hug you owe me. Haochen! Caier cried out in sadness, trying to take out her dagger from him. However, in Long Haochens tight embrace, she could not take it out. The Heroic Sheng Yues face went from its stunned state to astounded, as he murmured to himself, A stab for a mouthful of blood, it seems that we are not losing out. Yang Haohan wrinkled his brows, looking at him. Sheng Yue said, without the slightest restrain, What on earth am I doing here? You are the Alliances leader, so you are to handle the situation as you please, I am going back to sleep. I really cant be bothered with the business of little kids. Yang Haohan was quite startled and wrinkled his eyebrows even tighter. However, Sheng Yues lips moved once again, seemingly telling him something, instantly making the face of this Divine Knight of Defense and Strategy look extremely gloomy. With a sh of brilliant ck, he took a step forward. Just like that, the heroic Sheng Yue disappeared instantly. The corners of Yang Haohans lips twitch in turn, as Sheng Yues words resounded once again in his ear, This kid is pretty good, he has a really great temper, a lot better than this sly old crap. Perhaps Long Haochen didnt even expect that he gained, in this instant, Sheng Yues approval. Obviously, this stab he received from Caiers dagger let Sheng Yue calm down. The Scion of Light sure made a perfect match with this great-granddaughter of his in her capacity as the Saint Daughter of Samsara. Haochen, quickly let me go. Caier anxiously cried out in a low voice, still in Long Haochens bosom. This was a deep wound! How could she not know about her own weapons might? This dagger even had the supplementary effect of sucking out his life force. Long Haochen held her soft body in his arms, and although his face was gradually turning pale, he gradually revealed a relieved expression as he saw the heroic Sheng Yue leaving,. Caier, I am sorry, its entirely my fault. Are you willing to forgive me? Long Haochen moved his head above her shoulder, their ears touching each other. A fragrant scent came out from her body. At that time, he seemed as if he couldnt feel the slightest pain from the wound. Chapter 153 - This is the hug you owe me (III)

Chapter 153: This is the hug you owe me (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This was a mere misunderstanding, I was in the wrong, I shouldnt have doubted you, Long Haochen. I beg you, quickly let me go. Caier didnt dare exert force in her struggle: her dagger was extremely sharp, and the situation would grow even moreplicated if the wound kept expanding. Long Haochen was slightly startled before disying a wide smile, I dont want to let go of you. This asion of hugging you is something I gained with great difficulty. Caier eagerly said, Fool, I will let you hug me again in the future, so hurry up and let me go. My dagger has an effect of absorbing life force, so if this keeps going, your life force is going to deplete entirely. You promised to protect me forever, how can you do so if you cannot even protect your own body. An ounce of astonishment appeared on Long Haochens face, carrying a little hint of slyness, as he lowered his head and said gently, I will engrave these words into my mind. Only then did he finally release her arms from his embrace. Caier had made her preparations long ago, and took out her dagger just like a bolt of lightning. Immediately, a surge of blood burst forth from Long Haochens chest and shooting out from his back as he weakly fell down. Although Caier was blind, her movements were extremely swift and urate. At lightning speed, she rushed forward to support his body with her fingers ced on his chest as well as his back, preventing his blood from flowing out. A soft golden light, forming the pattern of a hexagon, appeared on the ground and illuminated Long Haochens entire body. Instantly, the blood stopped flowing and Long Haochen could only feel a mild and warm feeling at the location of the wound. In the next instant, the ice-cold feeling dispersed and the spiritual energy concentrated on the podium scattered as his wound recovered at an astonishing speed. The one who acted was the auxiliary hall master of the Priest Temple, Cardinal Ruoshui. Lightly shaking her head, Ruoshui couldnt help but let out a remark in a low voice, What a pair of little fools! Guardian Knights also had healing skills, but in this regard,pared to priests who specialize in them, quite a wide gap exists. Even when priests used the same sacred abilities, the final effects would be different. In regard to healing, priests hold better control of their abilities, and their sacred light is even more mild. With the presence of a peak cardinal like Ruoshui nearby, even dying voluntarily would be quite difficult, as long as the head wasnt severely wounded. Yang Haohan shook his head with some helplessness. As he took a step forward, a sh of golden light appeared and he disappeared without notice. Clearly, the rest of the matter didnt need his direct intervention. Han Qian coughed once before looking at the other five auxiliary hall masters, What are we going to do about Long Haochens request? Lets give our opinion as this kind of situation had never appeared before. ording to everything Long Haochen said, although having two people chosen within the top 16 instead of one has never been seen before in the history of the Demon Hunt Squads, it shouldnt hinder the fairness of the process. Furthermore, he was willing to renounce the reward of a spiritual stove for this. I am inclined to agree to his request. Suifeng, what about you? Ying Suifeng groaned without restraint, feeling gloomy deep inside. _This old fool is so cunning; with our little princess Caier here, how can I possibly not give my consent?_ Mh, I have no objection. Although he felt quite gloomy about this, he still gave his agreement with a murmur. Sanshui pondered for a little, before replying, It doesnt seem to conform with the rules; if future youngpetitors refer to this affair, could it be that well have to keep making exceptions like this? The Saint Mage Tutor Lin Chen spoke back with a smile on his face, Elder sister Sanshui, you shouldnt speak like this. It looks like this Long Haochen is not much older than 10 years old, but still managed to emerge as the final champion. Im afraid it wont be easy for future youths to aplish such a great feat. Furthermore, this matter is truly due to a coincidence. Thus, we shouldply to Long Haochens request. Only, isnt the price of the spiritual stove a bit too big? I think we should rather be flexible to the circumstances. Han Qian shook his head and said, If we dont require him to pay the other reward as a price, how could we not let everyone else choose another squad member? Its still better like this. We are making a great exception to the rules this time, so in the future, every time someone enters the top three, hell be able to choose to renounce the spiritual stove for another member for his personal squad. But this supplementary member will have to not be in the top 16. What does everyone think about this? Ruoshui nodded her head and said, Lets do it like this, this will bring a new breath to humanity. You have my approval. The Warrior Temples auxiliary hall master Ren Wokuang also gave his approval, Brother Hans suggestion is quite fair. To have managed to train to such a cultivation level at such a young age, these kids are not so simple. They must have had nearly no childhood at all. As their elders, we cannot be too severe towards them. Letting these two, with such good rtionship, be in the same team will contribute greatly to the coboration of all members within it together. Han Qian smiled, Since everyone approves, I will immediately submit this request to the Alliance Leader as soon as I am back, seeing that it has gained the approval of all vice-leaders of the Alliance. The formation of the teams with the roulette will take ce tomorrow. Long Haochen greatly rejoiced, respectfully bowing at the six auxiliary hall masters and saying, Many thanks to all of you seniors for your help. Han Qian opened his eyes widely without restraint, ring at him, Hurry up and go to rest, crazy boy! I really dont know whether what you did deserved praise. Long Haochen stuck out his tongue. At that moment, he finally looked, to some extent, like a 14 years-old boy. Han Qian turned around, and facing the otherpetitors that didnt leave yet, shouted loudly, What the hell are you still looking at?! Everything turned into dust. The youths immediately dispersed in a state of uproar, discussing about todays matters which were quite hard toment on. Li Xin hurriedly advanced. Seeing the bloodstains on Long Haochens chest, she waspletely distressed, Lil Bro, was there really any need for that? Long Haochen chuckled lightly, but didnt say anything; he only tightly held Caiers little ice-cold hand. Li Xin didnt go deeper into the matter. Only, her impression of Haochen became even greater than before. Silently gazing at Long Haochen, who was silently leaving while holding Caiers hand, she came to clench her fists. _Cough, cough_ Coughing silently, Lin Xin came back to his senses. Turning around, all he could see was his grandfather standing by his side with a solemn look. Grandfather. Lin Xin lowered his head. From childhood till now, he had been scolded and hit by his grandfather countless times. However, the mad curse he was expecting this time didnt arrive. A big and warm hand was put on his shoulder, gently patting it. For you to have stood up at that time, it seems that youre at least a man in the end. Patting once again his grandsons shoulder, Lin Chen took big strides. On the corners of his mouth appeared a smile. It seemed that his grandson, that originally behaved very unpleasantly, finally grew up. Lin Xin had, after all, stood up to defend Long Haochen and furthermore decided to bear all responsibility on that matter. Atst, his grandson didnt disgrace him. To some extent, he started to grow as a true man. Seeing his grandfathers figure from the back, Lin Xin suddenly felt a tempestuous feeling surging out from the depth of his heart, somehow oppressing him. Both of his eyes turned moist, as he murmured words only him could hear, Mother, it would be great if you were still alive. Caier took Long Haochens hand, frequently checking his wrists pulse, to make sure that his body was in good condition. For her to have managed topletely dispel the supplementary effect of her dagger with such ease, Cardinal Ruoshuis healing capabilities were really top notch. Now, Long Haochen only felt a bit weak because of the blood loss; even the other injuries on his body were unconsciously healed by her. That proved how important an outstanding priest was to a team. It was a guarantee of the survival of the whole squad! Caier was the one who led Long Haochen back to the hotel. She went as far as to enter in his room for the first time. Li Xin didnt stay for long; after confirming that Long Haochens injuries werent too bad onest time, she slowly stepped back, leaving these two little sweethearts by themselves. Long Haochen pulled Caier, letting her sit by his side before gently lifting her veil. Caier rapidly lowered her head, exposing her lovely face that was flushing red. Are you still feeling unwell? You spat out some blood earlier. Long Haochen stimted his wristguard, using its supplementary [Holy Mantle], to cover the two of them within it. Feeling a warm sensation from the [Holy Mantle], Caier lightly shook her head. Sorry Haochen, I am the one who caused todays ident. If I hadnt been so agitated, you wouldnt Long Haochen started, Caier, I am the one who should have told you about the matter with Lin Xin earlier. How can I me you? Caier shook her head and said, I am the one who didnt have confidence in you. This is already the second time; after the first and second one, I wont let a third time ur. In the future, no matter what you will do, I will haveplete trust in you and support you in your choices. I will not let a situation like todays repeat ever again. Seeing her exceedingly beautiful and lovely face, and hearing her speak about her responsibilities like this, Long Haochen couldnt help but stretch his arms and gently pull her into his embrace. Although Caier was slim, her body felt very soft. Holding her against his chest felt veryfortable. Ever since Long Haochen hugged her for the first time, he came to enjoy greatly this kind of feeling. Caiers pretty face turned even redder, but she didnt show the slightest resistance. Meekly nestling in his bosom, she didnt show any sign of her ordinarily expressionless face. Instead, the happiness she was exuding was only being amplified as time passed. Todays matter caused both of them to sustain injuries, and went as far as to disrupt the Demon Hunt Selection, but it led them to feel the importance they attached to each other even better. For Long Haochens sake, Caier conceded twice, all for her man. More importantly, Long Haochens mistake was what led her to spit out blood. To produce such an effect, how dear could Long Haochens ce in her heart be? And for her sake, Long Haochen would rather renounce the treasure from the heavens known as a spiritual stove, and was even willing to renounce his ce as a Demon Hunting Squad member. Even more importantly, for the sake of lessening Sheng Yues bad impression of him, he did not hesitate to put himself in a dangerous situation to show his sincere feelings. The main point of the embrace the two of them were in was not about their bodies sticking tightly to each other, but more importantly, the distance between their hearts was narrowed. Itsted until dusk, when Long Haochen finally sent her back to her residence. Although they went through so many twists, ultimately, everything had been solved. This enabled Long Haochen to feel greatly relieved. Not to separate from Caier, that was the major premise. Though now, this matter was finally resolved. Long Haochen could finally focus his concern on tomorrows selection ceremony. In the end, who would be a part of his Demon Hunt Squad? He had already picked two people: Lin Xin and Caier. So now, only three more people were left: a priest, a warrior, and a summoner. About the fact that he renounced the spiritual stove for the sake of Caier, Long Haochen didnt feel the slightest regret. To him, not even ten or a hundred spiritual stoves couldpare to his Caier. 1. formally Chapter 154 - Long Haochen’s Demon Hunt Squad (I)

Chapter 154: Long Haochens Demon Hunt Squad (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Bright morning. The sun was in the middle of rising, bringing this most important human city a sacred luster. The Knight Stadium was once again bursting with excitement. Manypetitors came at dawn, enthusiastically discussing with the people they knew about everything that happened yesterday. Regardless of whether it was the battle between Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao, or the entanglement of feelings that happened afterward, all of it became a topic of discussion. However, the fact that was the most discussed was actually the Divine Throne that Yang Haohan had released at that time. The proudest were thosepetitors from the Knight Temple. Hearing others talk about it and having seen it personally gave offpletely different feelings. A Divine Thrones absolute might was something that even the powerhouse of the ninth step from the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue, didnt dare go against blindly. That was a genuine divine artifact! Long Haochen, Caier, and Li Xin arrived together. But upon seeing them enter the stadium, the otherpetitors couldnt help but fall silent. All of the gazes directed toward Long Haochen were filled with admiration. Although young, he had the courage to challenge the rules of the Alliance. He even went against a powerhouse of the ninth step. This courage was not something everyone had. The fact that took them by surprise the most was that, even after all he had done, he looked perfectly fine? However, some viewed Long Haochen with pity. After all, what he had renounced was a spiritual stove! Furthermore, he was the champion, the one who had the priority in the choice of his spiritual stove among the three. For this reason, his renouncement appeared even more pitiful. After a night of rest, Lin Xin seemed to have recovered to a good state, as he took the initiative to call out to him, Haochen! Long Haochen faintly smiled, extending his right arm to him before saying, Brother Lin,ter on we are going to be squad partners. Lin Xin flung his own deep green hair before extending his hand in turn, We are not only partners, but also brothers. As both hands grasped the other, Long Haochen nodded to him. As before, upon seeing Lin Xin, Li Xinsplexion didnt look so good. She simply snorted coldly before turning her head around. If not for this guy, things wouldnt have gotten soplicated. Sure, those three bottles of pills that Lin Xin gave at that time were very valuable. However, what Long Haochen had to give in return was not only a ce in his own team, but in addition and more importantly, he had to pay the price of a spiritual stove. It was just beyondparison with those pills. Lin Xin didnt dare provoke the people in Long Haochens group and so went to the front to find a ce to sit on. After a short time, all of thepetitors were reunited. The six auxiliary hall masters of the Six Great Temples also entered slowly, going up on yesterdays tform once again. Han Qians mood seemed to havee back to normal. Facing these youths sitting on the lounge, he dered in a deep voice, Yesterday, thest selection matches finally ended. Although some incidents urred in the end, strictly speaking, the Demon Hunt Selection Competition went smoothly, and from all Temples, quite a few outstanding youths came out. Thats right, we are very gratified. Now, before the selection ceremony pursues, I have something to announce. Thepetitors naturally knew about what he was going to dere, but all of them were still listening with extreme attention. Han Qian announced, In view of the situation that appeared yesterday, and about the request of the champion Long Haochen, we came to negotiate with the Alliances chief and subchiefs and had their approval on the matter. The final decision is that from now onwards, at the end of the Demon Hunt Selection, each of thepetitors who will enter the top three will have the possibility of renouncing the reward to choose another person to add to their own Demon Hunt Squad. However, among the two selected people, one cannot be in the top 16. After this speech, numerousments sounded from the lounge. So much so that Long Haochen could hear what some femalepetitors were saying, If someone is willing to renounce his spiritual stove for me, I am willing to marry him. Turning around and looking at Caier, who had put on a clean veil, Long Haochen faintly smiled. Compared to Caier, what can a spiritual stove be regarded as? Han Qian said, If no one has any objections, our selection ceremony may start anew. Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, Mu Ning,e on stage. The others are to follow the staff members. Long Haochen stood up and advanced with big strides. Having undergone the healing processst night, the other twos bodies conditions were a lot better. The three of them climbed over the terrace once again, standing in front of Han Qian and the other auxiliary hall masters. Han Qians look swept past the three people before finally stopping on Long Haochens body. Long Haochen, I will ask you once again. Are you still insisting on your choice from yesterday to renounce the reward of a spiritual stove? Long Haochen nodded without the slightest hesitation, Yes. My choices are, as before, Caier and Lin Xin. Han Qian nodded and said, Good. Caier, Lin Xin, step forward. Are you willing to be part of Long Haochens squad? I am willing. Lin Xin and Caier gave the same reply almost simultaneously. Under the guidance of the staff members, Caier and Lin Xin advanced to the tform, the two of them standing next to the first seat. Han Qian turned to look at Yang Wenzhao: Second ranked of the individualpetition, Yang Wenzhao, you may make your choice too. Yang Wenzhaos gaze swept past thepetitors before finally stopping on aparatively small figure. Without hesitation, he said, The partner I choose is Chen Yinger from the Spiritual Temple! Gasps of astonishment suddenly rose and fell in session from underneath. Even the auxiliary hall masters looked quite puzzled; only Han Qian had the look of someone who understood clearly the situation. A lot of people thought, _What the hell is up with those two guys from the Knight Temple? Whos this Chen Yinger? At least, shes absolutely not part of the top 16. Such a precious choice of this Starlight Unicorn knight was actually directed toward choosing someone outside of the top 16. And from the name of this person, it was, furthermore, a girl. Could it be that the Knight Temple was just full of affectionate feelings?_ Han Qian looked at this petite Chen Yinger and asked her, Chen Yinger, are you willing to be a member of Yang Wenzhaos squad? Chen Yinger gave a nce to Yang Wenzhao, standing on stage, before turning her head with an overdone movement, and using a somewhat tapering voice to reply, I am not willing! _Badoum._ The whole stadium went in uproar once again. The Six Great Temples auxiliary head masters faces became an exceedingly fabulous sight to behold. _Is this child actually specialized in picking quarrels?_ Among their looks, the one that looked the most ugly was that of Sanshui who, filled with anger, said nothing further. Han Qians face slightly sunk down, as he asked, Chen Yinger, are you sure of this? Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yinger replied, I am sure of it. Who wants to be in the same Demon Hunt Squad as this guy? From their looks, a lot of femalepetitors were extremely jealous and puzzled. For this yearspetition, although Long Haochen ended as the champion, the most attractive to the femalepetitors was Yang Wenzhao. First, it was a question of age: although Long Haochen was outstanding and even more handsome, he looked too young. To these girls, whose ages were around twenty years old, there were basically no thoughts of this kind. Then, it was also because of his rtionship with Caier. Wasnt she sticking to him like glue, sharing mutual feelings? Who else could possibly stand a chance? But Yang Wenzhao wasnt the same: not only did he have a fitting age, but furthermore, he had formidable strength in addition to the beautiful mount known as Starlight Unicorn. It could be said that the overwhelming majority of the femalepetitors thought of him as the ideal male partner. But at that moment, they heard him say his choice was Chen Yinger. Clearly, his reasons were not about fighting strength. Han Qian looked at Yang Wenzhao, and dered, Chen Yinger is not willing to enter your squad, you may choose once again. Yang Wenzhaos look became extremely gloomy, _Yinger, ah, Yinger, is this a joke?!_ But what could he do if Chen Yinger was not willing to ept him? Even if he chose to do the same as Long Haochen, he would still need that girls approval. Secretly sighing to himself, he hesitated for a moment before dering, I choose Huang Yi from the Mage Temple. Han Qian nodded, before dering, Huang Yi, are you willing to be a member of Yang Wenzhaos team? Standing at the first row, Huang Yi replied without the slightest hesitation, I am willing. Although Yang Wenzhao was a Retribution Knight, not a Guardian Knight, his strength was something everyone clearly saw. And in his capacity as an earth system mage, Huang Yi was an expert in defense, so they naturally brought out the best of each other; why would he not be willing? Lastly, Han Qians look fell on Mu Nings body, Third ranked of the individualpetition, Mu Ning, your choice is? Mu Ning almost blurted out his reply, I choose Duan Yi from the Knight Temple, and I am willing to give him the position of squad leader. This decision was something he had already nned out yesterday. The ones above him, Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao, were both knights and he naturally wanted to choose one to join his squad. If one was to ask who was the luckiest of thispetition, without the slightest doubt, he would be the chosen one. Duan Yis strength was in no way inferior to Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao. A formidable strength; atop of the fact that he is a Guardian Knight, he also possessed a Golden Horned Mammoth as a mount. It would naturally be the most fitting choice if Duan Yi could join his team. As a result, to obtain Duan Yis approval, Mu Ning went as far as to directly choose to renounce the position of squad leader. In terms of strength, he could naturally notpare to Duan Yi; plus, this third ce was something he got by chance. Everything was for the sake of paving a route for the sess of his future Demon Hunt Squad. To this smart choice, Han Qian couldnt help but open his jaw in praise. His look directed toward Duan Yi, who was standing in the first row below, asking, Duan Yi, are you willing? Duan Yi looked at Mu Ning, and Mu Ning also looked at him, his eyes looking full of sincerity. I am willing. Although he didnt get into the top three, to be chosen was also an honor, let alone the fact that the other party was willing to hand the position of squad leader to him. Beside obtaining the first three positions, the best benefits of the top threepetitors was naturally to be able to choose members for their own squad. Naturally, luck would still remain a key factor. Havingpleted the selection ceremony, the roulette was going to be spun next, and each of thepetitors had expressions filled with expectation and excitement. Everyone hoped to be part of one of the top three teams. The more powerful the members of ones team was, the safer they would be. And the ones that held the most attention was Long Haochen, followed by Mu Ning and Duan Yi belonging to the third squad, and then thest one, Yang Wenzhao. Chapter 155 - Long Haochen’s Demon Hunt Squad (II)

Chapter 155: Long Haochens Demon Hunt Squad (II)

In this instant, the superiority of a Guardian Knight inparison to an agressive Retribution Knight came out. And Long Haochens greatest advantagey within his Saint Spiritual Stove. In terms of ranking, the Saint Spiritual Stove was far from the Starsea Stove. It didnt hold offensive capabilities, but its power of attraction was extremely important in regards to the security of a Demon Hunt Squad. Next, the formation of the first Demon Hunt Squad is about to take ce. Long Haochen, turn around toward the direction of the roulette. For the time being, the squad led by you will be called Demon Hunt Squad #1. Yes. Today, Long Haochen seemed particrly sincere. After respectfully answering with a word, he headed to the roulette before standing below. Specialized staff members were carrying out some tasks, as ten names appeared on the roulette. Han Qian said, First rotation, the warrior of this team will be chosen. A staff member handed over a pearl faintly shining of scarlet to Long Haochen. Before him, the roulette started to rotate intensely, the ten names instantly disappearing from sight. Long Haochen could then only see a ring of light and nothing more. Under the staff members hinting, Long Haochen took the scarlet pearl in his hand, and ced it on the roulette. As he let his finger loose, suddenly, that scarlet pearl fell into the roulette, spinning at great speed. A violent, sharp, and clear shooting sound resounded. That concentrated sound of collisions affected all thepetitors on stage. In particr, those ten warriors were especially tense. The Team Forming Roulette looked different than before. In case one was chosen, he would usually be a part of their assigned team, unless they renounced their status as a Demon Hunt Squad member. However, when renouncing after the roulettes designation, one would not be permitted to participate inter Demon Hunt Selections. In the Demon Hunt Selections context, this rule was known as the authority of the roulette. The rotating speed gradually decreased, and the ten names on the roulette likewise became more distinct. The secondary hall masters of the Six Great Temples stared at the roulette. At this moment, no one would possibly dare y tricks to try to disturb the fairness of the roulette, which would immediately incur the wrath of these powerhouses at the peak of the eighth step. Atst, the speed of the roulette decreased enough to enable one to distinguish the crimson-colored ball, which was slowly bouncing up, unceasingly sweeping past one name after another. Ultimately, it went still. It had stoppedpletely. Having clearly seen the name, Long Haochen opened his eyes wide. Slightly startled, he immediately became cheerful. This was because his luck was really not bad: he had just chosen an outstanding warrior. Demon Hunt Squad #1, warrior, Wang Yuanyuan, step forward. Han Qian announced the name that appeared on the roulette. At first, the warrior holding her huge shield, sitting on the second row, looked distracted, but she immediately walked forward in great delight. It looks that my luck is pretty good! Seeing Wang Yuanyuang walking forward with big strides, and under the hint of Han Qian, LHC went up to wee her. Extending his hand, he looked at her and dered, Wee, new member. Wang Yuanyuan restrained herself from showing her sheer delight too tantly and ced her own hand on his, dering, Last time, you were lucky and won against me. In the future, if we have the asion, I look forward to exchanging pointers with you. Long Haochen chuckled and replied, Alright! Wang Yuanyuan ced her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield down beside Lin Xin, still restraining her smiling face from disying her intense pleasure. Although she was a warrior, she was not skilled with defense. Long Haochen, on the other hand, was a knight with both specializations of a Guardian and Retribution Knight, and furthermore, had a Saint Spiritual Stove, and was also the champion of thepetition. More importantly, having seen several scenes involving him on the previous day, Wang Yuanyuan saw him in another light. Although he was very young, having a knight of his caliber in her team was extremely beneficial, let alone the presence of Caier, who was the best assassin of this greatpetition and possibly the most powerful existence that had participated. As for this mage, he waspletely ignored by Wang Yuanyuan. Long Haochen was simrly pleased because, in a team, the importance of the warrior was second only to that of the priest. Although Wang Yuanyuan couldnt enter the top 16, she had also already broken through the fifth step. And having battled her previously, he had a better understanding of her strength. He had the faint impression that Wang Yuanyuan, with her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, was the strongest warrior of thispetition. In his team, although Lin Xin couldnt attack, all four members were at the fifth step so far. And furthermore, three of them were the strongest of their own Temple during thepetition. From behind the roulette, Han Qian once again said, Now, the priest member will be selected. On the roulette, ten names appeared once again. The same as previously, rings of light revolved at a great speed, and the scarlet-colored pearl was handed, just as before, onto Long Haochens hand. Lets hope for an outstanding priest. LHC was not well versed with regard to priests, but from his assumption, any of the top ten priests had to be pretty good, so he didnt excessively worry about it. At that moment, all the priests were feeling extremely nervous. Amongst them, only three were guys and the rests were all girls, all looking quite pretty. Currently, there were even some of them that thought to themselves, As long as he doesnt get married, I still have a chance! There was only a single exception. Stroking hisrge bald head, Sima Xian looked indifferently toward the terrace. For a probability of 10%, what good is there to feel nervous? How could he get such great luck?! Also, all teams have their good points. If the other members are a bit weaker, maybe Ill be chosen as captain. The roulette came to a standstill. Long Haochen, who was standing behind, lookedpletely stunned. Han Qians voice sounded, Demon Hunt Squad #1, priest, Sima Xian. Step forward! Eh? Me? Sima Xian almost jumped up, his fingers on his nose. The looks of every surrounding people fell onto him ordingly, staring at that shiny bald head and the huge body concealed behind the huge priest gown and his imposing muscles. They couldnt help but reveal grotesque looks at this scene. This Is this a priest? Sima Xian came in big strides and Long Haochen appearedpletely stunned, but still made haste to go up to him. Actually, deep inside, the one he was be most unwilling to draw was Sima Xian. In his Demon Hunt Squad, there was already no shortage of attackers, so the most important was a priest that could heal. However, everything cannot always go as one wishes. This probability of 10% was still drawn. Just like that, they drew the violent priest. In other words, his team would have no specialized healer in it. Wee, new member. Long Haochen extended his hand to Sima Xian. Sima Xian put his huge hand down on his and said, while gentlyughing, Last time, I didnt have the asion to pay your favor back to you. It is quite good that we ended up in the same squad. After finishing, he once again stroked his huge bald head and raised his frightening staff while advancing with big strides, cing himself behind Wang Yuanyuan. Seeing him, Long Haochen secretly consoled himself, No matter what we say, hes still the strongest among the priests. Thats right! Still, what other priest could use [Madness] There was still onest person, the summoner from the Spiritual Temple. Selection of the summoner member for this team. Han Qian looked at Sima Xian with a contemtive expression. The roulette swiveled for the third time. Seeing that his good luck had chosen such a priest, Long Haochen purposely hesitated for a bit before throwing that scarlet red bead into the roulette. After a short while, the roulette gradually ceased spinning, and when that scarlet bead stopped, not only did Long Haochen go nk, even the six auxiliary hall masters who were supervising the process, Yang Wenzhao, and also Mu Ning went nk. For this years Demon Hunt Selection, if the participant who stood out the most had to be chosen, it wouldnt be Long Haochen, nor would it be Yang Wenzhao. It wouldnt even be the tyrannical Caier, the strange bald priest, or Wang Yuanyuan who wields a shield like a battle axe. Capable of being well known to everyone, such that even the high-leveled people in the Six Great Temples knew, there was only one such person. Only appearing in the preliminaries once, and relying on a summoning technique of the eighth step that no one in the summoner temple wanted to face her and obtaining the first spot in the summoner temples preliminaries and onlyter showed herplete luck during the finals. Completely unreliable and certainly did not grasp the strange [Creature Summoning Gate] technique, the loli summoner, Chen Yinger. But at this moment, that eye dazzling scarlet pearlnded precisely in front of that name. Soul emperor Sanshuis expression suddenly turned odd, stared at Long Haochen, then turned to look at Yang Wenzhao, repeatedly sighed and regained herposure. Long Haochens lips twitched, Dont tell me that my luck really has run out? How can it be her! He still distinctly remembered Chen Yingers match with Wang Yuanyuan where she had summoned a smallmb. Not only was this youngdys summoning abilitypletely random, she only had enough spiritual energy to summon the [Creature Summoning Gate] once. Right at this moment, the only thought in Long Haochens mind was, this roulette truly isnt fair Han Qians face immediately recovered to normal, then announced in a deep voice: Demon Hunt Squad #1, summoner, Chen Yinger, step forward. Chen Yinger joyfully leapt up and giggled: Wow, this is wonderful. I can still be together with Sister Yuanyuan. Quickly walking over, she only waved at Long Haochen and didnt even shake hands with him, then ran over to Wang Yuanyuans side. Hearing Han Qians announcement, her face wore a defeated look, and seeing Chen Yinger happily bounding over in delight, she spoke helplessly, Its not like I even want to be on the same squad as you! This brat, youd just drag us down on the battlefield. Chen Yinger didnt seem to care, and swinging Wang Yuanyuans arm around, she said, Sister Yuanyuan, you cant just turn your back on someone like that. Sometimes other people are also very awesome. On the podium, Han Qian dered: Demon Hunt Squad #1, Captain and Knight, Long Haochen. Assassin, Caier; Warrior, Wang Yuanyuan; Mage, Lin Xin; Priest, Sima Xian; Summoner, Chen Yinger. Squad assemblyplete. From this point on, Long Haochen and the six others had be a squad. Unless a member died, this squad would persist all the way until they ended their career as a Demon Hunt Squad. Chapter 156 - Long Haochen’s Demon Hunt Squad (III) Chapter 156: Long Haochens Demon Hunt Squad (III) After the announcement, Han Qian felt likeughing. This Demon Hunt Squad was perhaps the most bizarre in history. A captain that is neither a pure Retribution Knight nor a pure Guardian Knight, a blind Assassin C this pair could still be ssified as reasonable. As for the other four, they were absolutely unreliable. There was a warrior that is not proficient with defense, a mage that cannot attack, a priest that cannot heal, and finally, a summoner whose summons are totally unpredictable. This team was a marvel among marvels. And, against all expectations, each one of these marvels was ranked first in either the preliminaries or the subgrouppetition. No one would know in advance what kind of sparkle this group would be able to ignite, but no matter what one could say, this Demon Hunt Squad was entirelypleted. Long Haochen went off stage and stood together with his own group members. He felt a bit uneasy, but he wasnt ming the heavens for this in the slightest. No matter what he could say, at least he was reunited with Caier. As for the ws in this team, he would think of how to work them outter. Yang Wenzhao, the selection ceremony for your team members is about to start. From now on, the squad you belong to will be known as Demon Hunt Squad #2. Eh? All along, Yang Wenzhao was staring at Chen Yinger. Seeing her taken away by Long Haochen, he couldnt help but feel gloomy. But hearing Han Qians words, he finally came back to his senses. During the ceremony of selection for his Demon Hunt Squad #2, his luck could be considered quite a lot better than Long Haochens. At least the members he had picked were reasonable, and furthermore, during thest pick, he picked the summoner who entered the top eight, the true number one among summoners as well as the only one having reached the fifth step, Liao Yu. This result improved Yang Wenzhaos mood quite a bit. Huang Yi and Liao Yu could be considered as being powerful, both ranked amongst the best of their respective Temples. As for Mu Nings Demon Hunt Squad #3, it seemed as though his luck hadpletely dried up: among the four other members he chose, only the summoner was in the top 16. It was the one called Fang Zhu, the summoner who formerly summoned the gigantic bear against Caier, but was only at the fourth step. As the first three Demon Hunt Squad werepletely formed, it was now the time for the remainingpetitors to be assigned to their respective teams. But the one that took aback all the spectators the most was Demon Hunt Squad #4. ordingly to the sequence, the first member chosen for the Demon Hunt Squad #4 was the knight, and the one designated for this role was precisely Li Xin, and her luck could only be described as something absolutely astonishing. The warrior that was picked was the one who entered the top eight, the warrior of the fifth step that was defeated by Mu Ning. In the entire Warrior Temple, his strength could be said to be second only to Wang Yuanyuan. As for the assassin, it was thest one who entered the top 16. For the mages position, the one chosen was a rarely-seen mage of the spatial attribute, having a strength at the peak of the fifth step. The priest she chose was the sole and only bishop of the fifth step among all of thepetitors. As for thest one, the summoner that was picked was the botanical summoner Bai Xiaomo, who had given Yang Wenzhao quite a bit of trouble, who, in the end, had defeated her, using the sunlight fire. Although everyone in Li Xins team were not the strongest of their respective Temples, they were among the most decent choices. This was the case in particr for the priest and the summoner. This formidable priest could ensure that the team could preserve its fighting strength, and as for Bai Xiaomo, the botanical summoner expert in control, she was perfect toplement theck of defensive abilities arising from Li Xins specialization as a Retribution Knight. The role of captain for Demon Hunt Squad #4 fell onto the only powerhouse of the fifth step in it, the priest of the squad. The roulette swirled unceasingly, setting up one Demon Hunt Squad after another. The squad formation ceremonysted for the whole morning before finallypleting. Finally, the Demon Hunt Squads from #1 to #10 were formed. Looking at the Demon Hunt Squad members arranged in ten rows, Han Qian dered, From today onwards, each of you have officially been assigned a position in a Demon Hunt Squad. As such, you will be the closestrades;rades that can entrust their back to each other. In the history of Demon Hunt Squads, countless squads arose, standing at the peak of the continent. We wish for you to be that kind of squad. You have to bear in mind that you should neverin about your teammates. Today, perhaps your final ranking was not very high, but in a short future, maybe youll be among the most powerful. From today onwards, you will have three days of rest. Also, within these three days, squad captains are to take their members to the Mission Tower to register their Demon Hunt Squad, so as to get your Demon Hunt Squads serial number. Three dayster, thepetitors that entered the top 16 are to go to the Alliances Treasure Vault to choose their secret skills. Those ranked from ninth to sixteenth will get to choose one secret skill and those from first to eighth will get to choose two of them. And the top threepetitors, with the exception of Long Haochen, will get to choose a spiritual stove as a reward from the Temples. Now, disband. As soon as the word disband was said, allpetitors felt as if they were relieved of a great burden. It was finally over. Starting from the preliminaries to the finals, with the subgrouppetition in the middle, an entire month had passed. The stronger thepetitor, the more experience they had gotten from thepetition. Now that thepetition was over, these sixtypetitors were finally a part of a Demon Hunt Squad. Atst, they could take a breather. As for what would happen after this step, they had no clue, but for the time being, there was no need to think about it; better to put this matter aside to rx for the moment with a few days of rest. Captain, it is destiny that reunited us to form a squad, so today, Ill act as a host and treat everyone to a good meal. Lin Xin dered overjoyed. Long Haochen chuckled, and replied, Everyone, dont call me captain, but directly use my name. Is everyone okay with that? Sima Xian shot Lin Xin a nce, I have no objection, but I have to tell you, I eat a lot. Lin Xinughed faintly, replying, I will be sure to let you eat your fill. Wang Yuanyuan said with arge smile, I have no objection either; since someone else is inviting, lets enjoy eating for free. Chen Yingerughed happily and said, Okaay. Caier naturally didnt say anything more, only nodding lightly while under the gentle hold of Long Haochens hand. Still, from the fact that everyone saw her previous disy of force on stage, no one dared to look down on her. Long Haochen was still young after all, so despite the fact that he emerged as the final champion, he stillcked some persuasiveness. However, with the addition of Caier, absolutely no one would dare refuse to ept him as captain within this generation of youth. It was not limited to only this Demon Hunt Squad: all members of the other squads had to get more familiar with each other, and almost all chose to have a meal together for this purpose. Lin Xin led everyone out of the Knight Temple, turning at the right not far from the exit, and after covering less than 100 meters on a little street, led everyone to enter arge restaurant with five floors. This restaurant was a dazzling sight; eight coolly-d tall young girls stood at the entrance, weing customers. Seeing them, Sima Xians eyes instantly stared at them. Clearly, it wasnt the first time Lin Xin went to this ce. Led inside of the restaurant by one of the girls, they arrived in arge private room with several waiters waiting for their instructions. Seated around a circr table, the six of them, with the exception of Caier, looked attentively at each other. Although they had met each other several times before, they werent familiar with each other at the moment. Lin Xin stood up, smiling, Lets do like this, since we are going to be a team, everyone should introduce themselves with a few words, how about it? The main point is to introduce each ones abilities, so as to be more effective in the future when acting together. I will go in first: I am Lin Xin, neen this year, my size is 1.81 meters, I weigh 69 kilograms, and Tch, speak of some more practical facts, cant you? Chen Yinger said with a cold look, Are you looking for a partner to marry or what? Lin Xin did not get angry, simply replying, Okay, then lets speak of practical facts. I am a Magic Leader of the fifth step, second rank. I am an expert in control magic and defensive magic, in addition to being an alchemist that is able to make various kinds of pills. Without condition, I can make use of my personally concocted pills to help those of you who havent broken through the fifth step yet to do so within three months. Of the six, only two hadnt broken through the fifth step yet: the violent priest Sima Xian and the unreliable loli summoner Chen Yinger. Hearing him, these two immediately stared at him, opening their eyes wide. Wang Yuanyuan also revealed an rmed look. They were clear on how costly pills were, particrly those that can be use for assisting cultivation. Naturally, they didnt expect this guy, who appeared like a good-for-nothing mage that cannot even use offensive magic, to also actually be an alchemist despite having a high cultivation level. From the looks of it, he could still be of some use to the team. Long Haochen said, I can testify for brother Lins words. He gave me some pills before, which I relied on to break through the fifth step in the middle of thepetition. I gave them the name of Spiritual Gathering Pills. Lin Xin said in all honesty, I cannot use offensive magic, but I will definitely be very useful to our Demon Hunt Squad. During battles, I can take care of the defense while supplying everyone with all kinds of pills. As a mage who cannot attack, he was extremely worried of not being epted by his teammates. In that case, even if he became a Demon Hunt Squad member, he would still be unable to really integrate in. Sima Xianughed loudly and said, No wonder you guys kept yelling that Big Bro has drugs during our match; as it turns out, you were actually making them yourself! I just hope they are not fake drugs. Lin Xin unhappily spoke back to him, You are still quite more unreliable than me. I cannot attack, but how is it that you, even as a priest, cannot heal? I am afraid that it will be a great problem for the future of our squad. I will have to prepare more pills to make up with that. Sima Xian smiled in return, Alright, this elder brother wont speak back to his second brother. Except for the captain and Lady Caier, who in this squad is reliable? Wang Yuanyuan frowned her brows, You just said unreliable? But thisdy is a formidable warrior. Sima Xian snorted and said, I heard earlier that you were officially a shield warrior, but one who cannot defend at all. What in this is reliable? As for this great Yinger, shes even more famous. Shes the most unreliable summoner in history, aint she? Chen Yinger, who was ying with her fingers, said without thinking much, Unreliable now doesnt necessarily imply unreliable forever. Anyway, ughtering enemies is a job for males. I will just be cheering for you. Chapter 157 - Challenging a Powerhouse of the Seventh Step (I)

Chapter 157: Challenging a Powerhouse of the Seventh Step (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At dinner time, while the members of Demon Hunt Squad #1, with Long Haochen as captain, were discussing each others ws and eating their fill, Han Qian returned to the general headquarters of the Alliance and immediately called out for Han Yu. Grandpa, the group formation is over? Master didnte back, how did it go? Han Yu was already used to referring to Long Haochen this way, and couldnt help but keep doing so. Over the course of these few days, while Long Haochen went for his matches, he had stayed in the hotel and trained without going out. He had been waiting for the results of the Demon Hunt Selections individualpetition. These days, Han Qian saw clear changes in his grandson, who had be a lot calmer. Faintly smiling, he said, Both good and bad. The Demon Hunt Squad members Long Haochen got are really a bunch of misfits. It is also because of this that I called you here. Immediately, he described the results of Long Haochens drawing in detail to Han Yu. During this time, Han Yu was listening attentively while disying a contemtive expression. Han Qian pointed to the chair to his side, hinting him to sit down, Voice your opinion on this team. Han Yu said, As a whole, this team is indeed full of misfits. However, it is still an outstanding Demon Hunt Squad. First of all, on the side of the knight and the assassin, theres nothing toin about. Master and Lady Caiers disy during the selection was more than enough to testify their capabilities. On the side of the warrior, Wang Yuanyuan, who possesses the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield is notcking at all in terms of strength. In a sense, that Sima Xian can also be considered as a berserker. On the offensive side, having two warriors in it will definitely strengthen this team by a great extent. On the side of the mage, although this Lin Xin is inapt in attacking, I heard that his control over magic and his defensive spells were far above the norm. Apart fromdy Caier, it appears that no one else could break his defense. Actually, within the team, his precious defense is important, to the extent that hell have a role close to that of a shield warrior. At this point, Han Qian slightly nodded, hinting him to continue speaking. Han Yu continued, As for the side of offensive magic, this three-headed magical beastpanions magic can be considered quite powerful; it can almost be regarded as three mages acting in cohesion. Because it cannot make use of equipment, each of its attributes will not be on the same level as the mages, but adding to the fact it can use three of them, it can be said to surpass the absolute majority of the mages of the fifth step. If it can keep on growing, there is no need to worry about the role of the mage within this team. Han Qian was clearly satisfied with his grandsons analysis and asked with a smile, What about that summoner? Han Yu lifted up his shoulders and replied, I have never felt that a summoner under the sixth step could have any noticeable utility. Chen Yinger, that misfit of a summoner, should clearly not be counted within our calctions. However, even though we should not consider her fighting strength in our calctions, it is, on the contrary, possible for her to bring us some good surprises. After all, she formerly used the [Creature Summoning Gate] to summon a magical beast of the eighth step on several asions. At this point, Han Yu stopped speaking for a bit and wrinkled his brows before continuing, In the whole team, the sole weak point is the position of the priest. Although in his capacity as a Guardian Knight, Master has some healing capabilities, and his magical beastpanion can also use the light attribute, they are not actually real priests in the end. Master is leading the whole team, and is the cornerstone of the whole team. He also possesses a Saint Spiritual Stove, so we can definitely not count on him to focus some of his interest on the aspect of healing. As for his magical beastpanion, Im afraid that most of its attention will be rather focused on Master. Very good. Han Qians smile became even more broad, It looks like after this blow Haochen inflicted on you, you have matured quite a bit, both good and bad. Your analysis is right and very thorough. The biggest w of Haochens squad is exactly on the aspect of healing. However, you forgot someone in your analysis! Who? Han Yu gave his grandfather a curious look. Han Qian faintly smiled and replied, Yourself. Dont forget that you are also a Guardian Knight, and furthermore, you dont have to act as a defense-oriented Guardian Knight. And in Haochens troops, theres something they should focus on, and you pointed it out in your earlier analysis. Han Yu started, Are you saying that you want my future abilities to focus on healing? Han Qian slightly nodded before saying, On healing and support. You have to increase the survivability of this team with your presence, so that in the rear, Long Haochen doesnt have anything to worry about. Han Yus eyes glinted. He was originally an astute person, and having obtained his grandfathers pointer, he seemed to immediately figure out a lot of things. Go back, youll return here three dayster. Before you depart, grandpa has something to give you. Yes, grandfather. After returning to the hotel, Long Haochen felt extremely uneasy. The Demon Hunt Squad was set up, and the images of each member appeared and sparkled unceasingly within his mind. After all, he was only fourteen. No matter how earnest and mature he was, his age was still a big restraint to him. If possible, he wished for this Demon Hunt Squad to emerge while appearing like a warm ce. But could he really make it emerge? This squad of his was full of unreliable people. Caier expressed to him that she wasnt interested in the role of leader, so in the end, everyone was convinced that he was the only one apt for this role. From today onwards, he was not going to be a single person, but seven people. He was now responsible for the life of each of his teammates. He would be responsible for each of their actions. In the blink of an eye, four days passed. Over the course of these four days, Long Haochen and his dog team had two main things to do. The first was to go to the Demon Missions Tower next to the Alliances Great Stadium to enroll as members of the Demon Hunt Squad. Demon Hunt Squads in themselves were separated into different grades. The higher the grade of a Demon Hunt Squad, the greater the rewards forpleted missions. From low to high, the subdivisions for teams are soldier grade, general grade,mander grade, king grade, emperor grade and titled grade, a total of six grades. Each promotion of grade had severe requirements. Only when conforming with all of them can a squad advance in rank. For instance, to advance from soldier to general, all team members were required to have broken through the fifth step and have more than 1,000 contribution points, with the totalled contribution points of the team outstripping 10,000. And this was the simplest one. The highest rank: titled grade, gives the Demon Hunt Squad an exclusive status. To aim for this grade, the first requirement was to kill one to twelve demon gods in the top thirty six of the ranking. As one could imagine, this feat was extremely challenging. Regardless of whether the Demon Hunt Squad members wanted to get equipment or secret techniques or so on, they had to rely on their aplishments. Afterpleting their enrollment, each of them carried a golden gemmedmand tile blended with their blood on their left hand. Thismand tile would follow them during their entire journey in their Demon Hunt Squads. When they killed demons, thismand tile, which could be ssified as a Spiritual Tier piece of equipment, would automatically record it and increase their contribution points ordingly. And whenpleting missions in the Mission Tower, their contribution points would also be increased by the corresponding amount. This time, for obtaining the top position in the Demon Hunt Selection, Long Haochen directly earned a hundred contribution points. Caier, with her fourth position, earned fifty contribution points; as for the others, who didnt get into the top 16, they still got ten contribution points. Relying on his hundred contribution points, and under Caiers reminder, Long Haochen directly bought three things at the transaction center for Demon Hunt Squads, spending a total of 150 contribution points and using up all of the contribution points the two of them had gotten for thepetition. These three things were a contribution points testing gem, an internal spiritual energy testing gem, and an external spiritual energy testing gem. The contribution points testing gem only required to be stuck close to themand tile on their left hand to make their total amount of points appear, so as to be able to conveniently check which rewards they can get from their battles against the demon race. This thing was of extreme importance for the morale of the team. As for the internal spiritual energy testing gem, Long Haochen bought one that could measure up to the 10,000th level, whereas the external spiritual energy testing machine could only stand the pressure of an external spiritual energy below 1,000. With these two gems, every team member would be able to check their current situation and cultivation gains. These three items were cheap, but extremely practical; they were known as great items that were essential to Demon Hunt Squads. Outside of registration, the second matter was to once again enter the Alliances Treasure Vault. Although Long Haochen couldnt get his awarded spiritual stove anymore, he and Caier could still choose two secret techniques to learn. Since he possessed Long Xingyus inheritance ring, he picked Guardian Knight skills without the slightest hesitation. He chose a skill that increases an individuals defense and a group enhancement skill. In his capacity as the Demon Hunt Squad captain and the core of the team, he made his choice in consideration for the entire team. The day before picking secret skills, Han Yu went to find him once, afraid that Long Haochen would be inclined to choose a healing type skill if he didnt. At the same time when he picked the secret skills the day before, Long Haochen received the information that he was to get ready to depart on the morning of the next day to move to another ce to participate, this time, in the Demon Hunt Squad teampetition. Teacher. Knocking on the door of Ye Huas room before entering and carefully closing the door with a _Pong_ sound, Long Haochen knelt down before Ye Hua. Ye Hua was startled by the sudden act, What happened Haochen? What are you doing? Long Haochen didnt say anything, but banged his head on the ground three times, letting out _Peng, peng, peng_ sounds, before lifting his head up, tears flowing down from his eyes, Teacher, we are going to depart today. I I hate the idea of parting with you. Staring nkly at Long Haochens pretty face, at his sparkling and twinkling pupils. Ye Hua, whose face previously looked stern, was gradually being stirred up. Supporting Long Haochen with both his hands, he pulled him toward his bosom. No matter how outstanding he could be, he was, in the end, a mere fourteen year-old kid. Ye Hua lived as an unmarried man, so naturally, he didnt have any descendants. Unconsciously, he came to look upon Long Haochen as his own son. Thats right! As they were going to part with each other, and seeing how Long Haochen hated this fact, how could he be willing to part with this child of whom he regarded as both a son and a disciple? Chapter 158 - Challenging a Powerhouse of the Seventh Step (II)

Chapter 158: Challenging a Powerhouse of the Seventh Step (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Haochen, these many years, hasnt Teacher been treating you very badly? Long Haochen strongly shook his head, pushing it onto Ye Huas chest, which could not be considered wide at all. The time he spent together with Ye Hua was even longer than the one with Long Xingyu. As the inborn Scion of Light, he was extremely sensitive, especially in feeling good and bad intents of the people around him. Deep inside, Ye Hua had always had good intent toward him and although he was far from being as glorious and formidable as Long Haochens father, the status he held was not any lower. Ye Hua chuckled and said, You are the best student your teacher ever had throughout his whole life. Your teacher knows that his teaching methods are very severe. However, you followed me for so long, but never voiced anyints at all. At only fourteen years old, you have already made such great achievements. It is true that your constitution as a Scion of Light is very important, but your great effort is also a crucial point in your sess. Now that you have already be a member of the Demon Hunt Squads, you are gradually going to grow up. Although Teacher cannot be by your side, he will always be praying for your safety no matter what happens. I have already discussed it with your grandmaster; I will remain in Holy City and will not go back to Hao Yue City. Later on, when you return to report in missions, you cane look for me at the Alliances Office Pce. You are very young, but genuinely honest, steady, and kindhearted. Teacher is very reassured with you by his side, but you hold too much affection toward others. Teacher is warning you repeatedly that no matter what, your safety is the most important priority. When facing danger, you have to think three times as much; do not rush prematurely. You need your own opinion, but you also have to listen to yourrades suggestions. Teacher believes that you will definitely be an outstanding Demon Hunt Squad leader. Teacher, I Hearing Ye Huas words, Long Haochen couldnt stop himself from sobbing in his bosom. Ye Huaughed loudly, patting his back with great force, Okay, you are already a man, dont have this kind of attitude akin to a little girls. Leave now; to grow into an eagle, the chick needs to unfold his wings, soaring high into the sky. Inevitably, there will be a day when your splendor will shine not only on the whole Alliance, but on the entire maind. As he spoke, Ye Hua held his shoulder and, opening the door, lightly pushed him out. With a _peng_ sound, the door closed. In the next instant, Ye Huas back heavily leaned against the door. On his hand, and his face, his tears softly fell. Outside of the door, Long Haochens shouting voice could be heard, Teacher, I will definitelye back to visit you. Ye Hua was unable to bear his tears anymore, which kept on pouring out. He buried his face in his hands, resisting with great difficulty, so as to not let it be heard. Long Haochens leaving steps were still echoing, as Ye Hua seemed to exert all his strength to say, It would be so great if he really was my son. Seeing the dispirited Long Haochen leaving, Li Xin, who stood on the entrance of the hostel, hurriedly met him and rubbed his head, Foolish little brother, its not like you are going to be separated forever. If you want to repay teacher Ye Hua, you have to make him proud of you, to let him feel the glory of the knight within you. Yeah. Long Haochen lightly nodded. Heart-broken, he gave a final look at the window of Ye Huas room, clenching his fists with great strength, Sis, lets leave. Alliances Great Stadium, Knight Stadium. Now that all of the Demon Hunt Squads were formed, because they were newly established, they would all start at the soldier grade and got their ording assigned numbers. For instance, Long Haochens squad was the soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad #1. They were now a Demon Hunt Squad of soldier grade, with only ten of them newly established. I have to present someone to everyone; this is Han Yu, my retainer knight. When he met with his team, the first thing Long Haochen did was to introduce Han Yu to them. Because they were going to leave this ce soon, Han Yu came back home yesterday and he met up with Long Haochen in the Knight Stadium this morning. Retainer knight? In Long Haochens group, with the exception of Caier, the four people werepletely astonished. Sima Xian opened his eyes wide, patting his own bald head, Leader, you also had a retainer knight? Long Haochen chuckled before he replied, Brother Han is not only my retainer knight, but also my friend. And hes a Guardian Knight of the fifth step! With him among us, our team will be even more powerful. Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and Chen Yinger were greatly shocked, _The Knight Temple is too formidable! This knight of the fifth step is clearly less than 25 years old, but couldnt get into the final stage of thepetition?! Or is it that he didnt even participate in it, acting as Long Haochens retainer all along?_ Sima Xianughed out loudly before dering, Wee, new member. Today, Lin Xin looked somewhat dejected, his face appearing pale. He even appeared to bepletely differentpared to normal; his hair had not beenbed, and it had an extremely messy appearence. Nodding to Han Yu, he didnt say anything further. Wang Yuanyuan eagerly eximed, A Guardian Knight! You have to let me test your power when we have the asion. Han Yu faintlyughed and said to her, I am merely masters retainer. My first role is to protect my masters safety. I also possess a contribution points crystal tile, but ording to the rules of the Demon Hunt Squads, as a retainer knight, my contribution points will not be counted toward the teams total. Hearing the two words contribution points, a glint appeared in Lin Xins eyes, although he previously lookedpletely dejected. Chen Yinger blinked and remarked, Well exchange em for a lot of good stuff! Having gone to the Demon Hunt Squads transaction center could be said to have expanded their horizons by arge extent. At their current grade, although they could only buy some cheap items with their contribution points, they really felt the value of something earned with their own efforts. When looking for equipment for Demons Hunt Squads at the soldier grade, they were capable of exchanging their points for equipment at the Spiritual Tier, and even had ess to a few ones at the Glorious Tier. Various pills could also be exchanged, and among them, a lot could not bemonly found in marketces, and had iparable utility. Just from looking at it, everyone was drooling with desire. However, these things could not be bought, even with money, as the demon hunt center only epted contribution points. It went to the extent that among members of a same Demon Hunt Squad, it was possible to exchange items with contribution points or directly use several peoples contribution points to conduct purchases. Without a doubt, the Alliance arranged this to arouse their Demon Hunt Squads members to thirst for contribution points, so as to ignite their fighting spirit. And even granted that some Demon Hunt Squads were aware of this, the results were still extremely beneficial to them. The transaction center for soldier grade goods was full of good items, so for the even higher general grade,mander-in-chief grade, or even king grade and emperor grade, how could there not be even better items? Wang Yuanyuan said, I asked around and got the information that there are two methods to get contribution points, the most straightforward one being to hunt and kill demons. Any kind of demon counts: even the most average demon from the Zelin n has contribution value. In addition to this,pleting missions from the Mission Tower also has the same effect. Long Haochenughed gently before speaking, Everyone, dont rush. Our squad has just been established and we are not familiar enough with each other, let alone having tacit understanding. We should work on improving our unity first before bringing up missions. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue and said, Captain, you have no guts. Today, this little loli was wearing a white magic gown, her purple hairbed into two braids bunched together, forming like a half ponytail, giving her a very lovely appearance. Lin Xin snorted and reacted immediately, So contrarily to appearances, you are actually not a coward at all? I heard you could summon sheeps; thats not bad, at least it could help us save up on food expenses. Chen Yinger furiously replied, Damned sissy, who do you think you are?! Including Han Yu, the team was currently formed of four guys, with quite decent appearances: Sima Xian looked robust and manly, and Han Yu had a brave and handsome appearance. There was no need to mention Long Haochen at all: not even a single w could be found with his face. And in terms of looks, Lin Xin was second only to Long Haochen. Only, because of his role as the mage, his figure looked quite frail, far from Long Haochen who looked well-shaped. Further adding his long hair, it brought him the nickname of sissy. I am not a sissy, big bro is a true man! Lin Xin said furiously. Wang Yuanyuan wrinkled her brows, Okay okay, what are you two quarrelling about? Isnt the most important thing to think about is how to gain contribution points? Lin Xin flipped his wrist, making two bottles of pill appear. Throwing a bottle to Sima Xian, he told him, These are the Spiritual Gathering Pills that Captain spoke of earlier; each one will increase your internal spiritual energy by at least ten levels and help your cultivation. It is useful for the fifth step and under. Each bottle contains ten of them; they are for you to use. Sima Xian rejoiced greatly, hurriedly taking the bottle and giving a thumbs up to Lin Xin, Words are not enough to express the feeling of gratefulness I have in my heart towards you. In the team, only Sima Xian and Chen Yinger hadnt reached the fifth step yet. Seeing that what Lin Xin had taken out were two bottles of pills, how could Chen Yinger not understand? Immediately giggling happily, she went up, Wah, sissy is really someone who can differentiate good and bad; you are definitely a good sissy. You wouldnt bother arguing with a child, would you? Lin Xin rolled his eyes, Never call me sissy again in the future. Cheng Yinger grabbed the pills in his hand before patting his shoulder, Okay, okay, everyone here is one of us, dont be so cunning. In future battles, Ill cover for you. Lin Xins nose crooked from hearing her, Would you even cover for me? Chen Yinger stood proudly with her hand on her little chest, dering, How could I not cover you? Just wait and see. Cough cough. At this moment, coughing noises could be heard from nearby. Long Haochen turned around to look, only to find that Yang Wenzhao had arrived at his side. Younger brother Long, can we talk for a bit? Yang Wenzhao politely asked Long Haochen. Long Haochen nodded, Of course we can. During thepetition, the two were rivals, but outside of that, the impression Long Haochen had of Yang Wenzhao was extremely good. Yang Wenzhao had not only formidable strength, but also a calm and steady temperament, and more importantly, could get the acknowledgement of a Starlight Unicorn, making his natural dispositions clearly visible. 1. ordinary equipment, alloy equipment, magical equipment, spiritual equipment, glorious equipment Chapter 159 - Challenging a Powerhouse of the Seventh Step (III)

Chapter 159: Challenging a Powerhouse of the Seventh Step (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Yang Wenzhao took Long Haochen to walk to the side, going as far as to bow slightly, before performing a salute directed to Long Haochen. Long Haochen inclined his body, hurriedly going to the side, Brother Yang, what are you doing? Yang Wenzhao bitterly smiled before telling him, There is something I have to beg of you, that I really want you to promise me. Long Haochen started, What thing? Yang Wenzhao said in a low voice, I beg of you, younger brother Long, help me to look after Yinger! Eh? Long Haochen looked at him, somewhat puzzled, and said, For your previous choice, brother Yang, you seem to have picked Yinger, though she didnt agree. Actually, I dont need brother Yang to beg of me, for I will protect her well even without you doing so. We are, after all, members of the same squad. Yang Wenzhao slightly hesitated for a bit, before revealing, Actually, I have to tell you, younger brother Long, Yinger is my fiance. Since childhood, our families fixed us to marry. Only, that girl is being somewhat rebellious, unwilling to ept our families arrangements; thus such a situation urred, as you saw it. No matter what may be said, I am her fianc, but shes not even in my team. All I can do is to beg younger brother Long to take good care of her and look after her. For this, I am willing to give a third of my contribution points to younger brother Long, how about it? Long Haochens look changed, and his voice turned even more muffled, Brother Yang, I already told you. Yinger is a member of my team, so I will definitely protect her properly. How could I ept your contribution points? Alright, I guess we are done speaking then. Having said so, he turned around and then left. From Yang Wenzhaos act of enticement toward him, it could be seen that Long Haochen simply felt as if he had been insulted. Seeing his leaving figure, Yang Wenzhao couldnt help but pat his own forehead, truly confused and concerned, _I should really not have spoken those words._ At this very moment, Long Haochen stopped his steps and turned his head toward Yang Wenzhao, telling him, I will protect every single member of my team properly, and not let them suffer any harm. Yang Wenzhao nodded, Younger brother Long, about what I said just now, I am sorry! Long Haochen waved his hand, going back to the side of hisrades without stopping. At this moment, Han Qian, the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Alliance, was guiding ten people above forty years of age, d in white, in entering the stadium. Seeing him, all Demon Hunt Squad members hurried to calm down. After entering the stadium, Han Qian stopped his steps, and these ten impressive people stood in a row behind him. From today onwards, you will have formally be members of a soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. And certainly, you should have seen what benefit contribution points could provide you. This is one of the other reasons why Demon Hunt Squads are of extreme importance to powerhouses. About what is going to happen next, all of you should have already guessed. Thats right, what is iing next is the Neer Demon Hunt Squads Team Competition. On the battlefield, individual power will forever remain a negligible thing. And from an outstanding team, miracles can appear. The teampetition will not require you to face your opponents in a face-to-face match this time, which would just be a waste of time. Soon, you are going to leave Holy City and set off for the border area for the sake of spending the first three months of your military career. There, you will have to face the ferocity of demons head-on, and also have your first opportunities in earning contribution points. Three monthster, the team with the highest amount of contribution points will be ranked first in thispetition, and so on. Only the top three teams will receive rewards. The first team will get 1,000 contribution points, the second 500, and the third 300. And this applies for each squad member. In fact, even Long Haochen, the champion of the individualpetition, had only gotten a reward of 100 contribution points. Just now, Han Qian talked about an individual reward of 1000 contribution points! It implied that a team would get the chance to rapidly be promoted to the general grade. Instantly, all eyes could only light up in reaction. On the battlefield, the importance of individual strength was lessened by a wide margin. The strength of a team was not as simple as the sum of the strength of each members. Everyone had the possibility of obtaining the final position of champion. Han Qian continued, Behind me are ten Guardian Knights; they will be your leaders. All of them are heroes who fought against the demon race for many years. On the battlefield, you will have a lot to learn from them. Leaders, show yourself. The Temple Alliance had also given a lot of thought and determined that the most fitted ce for a team to rapidly grow while building a tacit understanding of each other was on the battlefield. In that way, they would be confronted to life or death situations at all times, which would obviously be the most stimting means. And for the safety of these children, the Alliance dispatched these ten Guardian Knights. Their mission was not only to protect these new Demon Hunt Squads, but also to ensure the adequate training of the core of the team, its knight, at the same time. To a team, the knight, in charge of unifying, defending, andmanding the team, was bound to eternally be the most important member of it. Each of the ten Guardian Knights walked away in a different direction, arriving before each new Demon Hunt Squad. On Long Haochens side was a sturdily built man with a build rather close to Sima Xians. From his appearance, he looked about forty years old. His face was full of cuts and his wounds looked extremely serious: a big scar was covering the two sides of his neck and he had another circr scar of 6 centimeters diameter on his face. Arriving before everyone, Gao Yingjie formed a fist with his right hand, cing it before his left chest and dering with a deep voice, Hello there, my name is Gao Yingjie. From today onwards, and for the duration of three months, I will be your leader. I will not be in charge ofmanding you in battle, but I will have the authority to contest your strategic decisions at any time. My mission is to make sure that, three monthster, you will be able to depart for the battlefield. The countdown of the three months before you reach the battlefield has already begun. Before we set off, I need to test your strength first. Chen Yinger asked with a curious baby-face, Leader, what do you mean by that? Gao Yingjie shot her a nce, Battles will always be the best means to test ones strength. Your team just got formed, so Im afraid you have never battled together before. Therefore, let me be the first opponent youll ever challenge. Hearing these words, the very first to show a reaction were Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan. They were the most anxious for battle, otherwise, how could they grow as a shield fighter and a priest training as a powerful warrior? Wang Yuanyuan inquired, Leader, at which step are you? Gao Yingjie said indifferently, I am a Temple Knight of the seventh step. Nheless, during this spar against you, I will not use flight abilities nor summon my mount. Wang Yuanyuan eagerly asked, Then, if we manage to beat you, will we gain something like some contribution points? Long Haochen didnt say anything: just as Gao Yingjie said, their team was newly formed, so he had a lot to observe in regard to his ownpanions, to familiarize with everyones characteristics. Now, he just discovered one of Wang Yuanyuans features, materialistic Win? Gao Yingjie revealed a smile on his resolute face, I am unable to give you contribution points directly, but if you win, I will be a part of your team, acting provisionally as a Guardian Knight among your ranks, listening and obeying your captains orders. On the battlefield, all of the contribution points Ill get will be divided fairly among your team members. Its a deal! This time, Long Haochen was the one to speak, directly giving his agreement. The leader had the mission of protecting these new Demon Hunt Squads, so he naturally couldnt act directly to fight against demons. Only in moments of extreme emergencies was he to act directly. It was after all, a Temple Knight of the seventh step! If they could temporarily engage him as a part of their team, their ability to kill demons, no matter their strength or quantity, would undergo a qualitative leap. In that scenario, which squad could possibly contest the final position of number one with them? Although to them, challenging a powerhouse of the seventh step would be extremely difficult, Gao Yingjie was, in the end, a Guardian Knight, not a Retribution Knight. Further adding that they were not going to face danger, and that the other party would go as far as not to summon his mount? Who would refuse to try out for such a great opportunity? Seeing these youths greatly eager to give it an attempt, Gao Yingjie couldnt help but find itughable, _These kids! Could it be that they really believe challenging someone above their step of cultivation would be so easy? Furthermore, its two steps above!_ Actually, Temple Knights of the seventh step have already broken through the threshold of the 10,000th spiritual energy level. More importantly, he was not a mere first ranked Temple Knight. The other Demon Hunt Squads captains were leaving, and the same was for Han Qian. Meanwhile, in the Knight Temple, they were the only Demon Hunt Squad left. Gao Yingjie went to the fighting area without prior consultation, a shield and a sword appearing in his hands, but he didnt wear an armor. The shield and the sword in his hand looked like they were the most standard knight weapons. Evenpared to equipment of the magical tier, they were below in quality. Come. Long Haochen advanced a few step, arriving at the very front of his team and rapidly putting his Holy Spirit Armor on. With a white glint, the Holy Spirit protection was unleashed and a white gloss immediately appeared on each of his teammates. Sima, [Madness]. Yuanyuan, embed gems. Yinger, summon on the rear. Lin Xin support us with your defense. Han Yu, follow me to defend in the front. Caier, act ordingly on your own judgement. Lets go. Long Haochen rapidly gave the directions. This was their first coboration, so speaking of mutual understanding was out of question; it could only be called voiced instructions. As he gave hismands, a purple glow shone between Long Haochens eyebrows and Haoyue appeared. However, Long Haochen didnt mount him, letting him stay on the rear. Han Yu also put his equipment on, swiftlypleting the summoning gestures with his sword. A radiance lit up the part above his head as a bizarre magical beast appeared in the sky. Seeing that magical beast, even Gao Yingjie, in his capacity as a Temple Knight, was startled. It was because that magical beastpanion of his was truly a misfit. With half a meter diameter, it had the dimensions of an eyeball. Thats right, it was just a big eyeball, with a ck tail underneath. Its upper body was all ck, and that big eyeball swiveled in the air. Around it, the air was twisted with traces of light, giving quite an unusual feeling. Gao Yingjie eximed in astonishment, This is A Demonic Eye?! What an unusual magical beastpanion! Long Haochen was also quite startled. Back then, when he defeated Han Yu, thetter didnt summon his mount. That huge Demonic Eye was floating in the air above Han Yus head, unceasingly swivelling. The perturbations in air seemed to be emitted from the middle of its pupil. Chapter 160 - Team

Chapter 160: Team

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Suddenly, red light shed upon this Demonic Eye and a faint red light was released from the distant Gao Yingjies body. Gao Yingjie didnt move nor did he react much, only smiling indifferently as he said, Eyes of Truth? Your Demonic Eye has not matured yet; to want to figure out my cultivation level, it is way too early. Long Haochen and Han Yu exchanged nces, striding forward andunching a charge at the same time and surrounding Gao Yingjie. With the action of the two, the whole team, without exception, started to act. Wang Yuanyuan swiftly embedded three gems in the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield and Sima Xian shouted out loudly, his hand gripping his staff while charging from the other side of Long Haochen. During this charge, his muscles rose dramatically; it was [Madness]. Caier, whose hand was previously held by Long Haochen, disappeared in that instant. Haoyues three heads instantly lifted, and Little Light and Little Fire began chanting continuously with a muffled voice. Only Little Green did not do the same, spurting out two green light which fell on Chen Yinger and Lin Xins bodies instead, making the two of them soar up beforending onto Haoyues back. His four limbs lunging strongly, he followed Long Haochen in his charge forward. In Chen Yingers hand, the huge crystal ball appeared once again as she chanted her incantation in a pleasant voice, as if singing. Lin Xin sat before her, lifting his crystal cloud staff high and chanting at a rapid speed, letting out _peng_ sounds of elemental waves of me. No matter what anyone could say, in terms of magic control and elemental affinity, Lin Xin far outstripped Huang Yi, who possessed an Earth Elemental Fairy. Long Haochens side got on the move as, on the other side, Gao Yingjie basically acted as though he didnt notice them in the slightest, standing motionless as before. In this frontal assault, Long Haochen and Han Yus speed was approximately equal to Sima Xians after he used [Madness]. The three of them arrived in front of Gao Yingjie at about the same time . Eyeing Gao Yingjie, who was at a distance of less than 19 meters, Long Haochen suddenly shouted out. A white light glinting from his chest, radiance erupting from it, appearing like a white bolt of thunder falling onto Gao Yingjie. Saint Spiritual Stoves first ability, [Attraction]. Gao Yingjie seemed to not feel anything special at this moment, but he still moved. He took a step forward, advancing as steadily as a mountain, and suddenly the Knight Stadium shook as a booming noise echoed. In his right hand, that ordinary fine iron heavy sword turned dazzling gold, striking straight at Long Haochen. Bending forward and holding up his shield, Long Haochens figure was instantly congealed, cancelling his charge and appearing just like a statue, steadily standing upfront. Then, the Holy Spirit Shield lit up with a white glowing from the simultaneous use of [Holy Filter Shield] and [Divine Obstruction]. Meanwhile, a total of ten radiances shone upon his body practically at the same time. With the first glitter, Long Haochen activated the supplementary [Holy Mantle] provided by his Divine Wristguard. The second one was another [Holy Mantle] that Han Yu, at his side, cast for his protection. Following that, there were three other magic radiances. Two of the fire system, and one of the light system; three magical shields wereunched from the rear. Simultaneously falling onto his body, these shields of the fifth step acted in concert with these two [Holy Mantles], forming an unexpectedly thick fiveyered ability protection on Long Haochen. The threeyered shield was naturallying from the coordinated action of Little Light, Little me, and Lin Xin. Gao Yingjies eyes lit up as he thought to himself, _These youths are acting together for the first time, and yet they still cooperated with such coordination. A Guardian Knight or Shield Warrior who can withstand the attacks from the enemy, that was the real heart of the team. More importantly, this young knight with a beautiful appearance also has a Saint Spiritual Stove. With these defensive capabilities of the highest quality, no wonder he got the top position in the individualpetition._ __ _ but will this be enough?_ The heavy sword struck downwards with stable power as Gao Yingjie seemed as if he basically didnt see Sima Xian on the left side at all. He heavily struck with his staff under the effect of [Sacred Hammer] and Han Yus [Light Thorn] that wasing from the right side. _BangC _ A crushing sound echoed from Long Haochens whole body. To Gao Yingjie, the fiveyered defense in front of him was, unexpectedly, as frail as paper. It only weakened the golden light on his sword by a little. Like that, his sword heavily struck Long Haochens Holy Spirit Shield. It was also in that instant that the eyeball above Han Yus head suddenly released a white glint, causing Gao Yingjies body to stagnate for a bit, and briefly enter into a state of confusion. Only then did his heavy sword fall on Long Haochens shield. The terrifying force of the impact instantly spread from the Holy Spirit Shield to his four limbs and all the bones in his body. At that moment, Long Haochen felt as if his body did not belong entirely to himself. That spiritual energy of boundless terror crushed himpletely with the force of the impact, sending him flying back. On his body, [Bright Vengeance] shone as he felt as if his bodys force waspletely exhausted. Despite the fact that Long Haochen had previously estimated the power of the powerhouse of the seventh step to be very high, he only experienced the enormous gap between them when actually facing him head-on. Even with the cooperation of the whole team, he could only barely obstruct this blow. At that moment, a pair of wings of light appeared and extended from Gao Yingjies back, colliding with the [Light Thorn] and destroying it in a sh. Under the effect of [Madness], Sima Xians full force attack made contact with the other wing of light, and with a simple _Peng_ sound, the effects of [Sacred Hammer] were absorbed by the tyrannical light released and Sima Xians majestic figure was knocked back ferociously, thrown far away. At this point, the effect of Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove was already over. He was the team captain and also the heart of the team, so at this moment, he was the one who bore the heavy responsibility of holding Gao Yingjie back. Four radiances appeared once again on his body. This time, it was a fouryered elemental shield. Although it had ayer less than before, how could the [Holy Mantle] of the third step possiblypare to this kind of elemental shield of the fifth step? On the contrary, his defense was even more unyielding than previously. Long Haochen breathed deeply, doing his utmost to stimte the spiritual energy in him with the intent of getting rid of the numb feeling. At this moment, the superiority of his external spiritual energy, which was a lot greater than other knights of the same step, became apparent. In a single breaths time, the numbing sensation on his body had already decreased by at least twofold. With a single blow, Gao Yingjie had shook Long Haochenpletely. Under the effect of the [Attraction] of the Saint Spiritual Stove, unless he left the range of the spiritual stove, the only one he could target was Long Haochen himself. Smoothly stepping forward, he directly rushed at Long Haochen, paying no attention to Han Yus second attack at all. At his back, the two wings only moved slightly to block it without difficulty. [Holy Filter Shield], [Holy Mantle], [Divine Obstruction]. Long Haochen unleashed his defensive abilities once again, and at that moment, another sh of red light shone upon his body, creating yet another elemental shield. It was Lin Xin. Relying on his magic passing through the fire cloud crystal, he was a lot faster than Haoyue. Against all expectations, he managed to create two elemental shields to assist Long Haochens defense within such a short time. _BangC_ Long Haochen courageously weed Gao Yingjies attack and a violent explosion sounded forth. This time, he was only pushed seven or eight steps backwards as all of the defenses protecting him waspletely broken into pieces. Butpared to the first time, his reaction was a lot better. At the least, the sensation of numbness on his entire body didnt appear once again. Meanwhile, Long Haochens Holy Spirit Sword pointed forward, lunging with a [Light Thorn] enhanced by the effects of [Bright Vengeance] towards Gao Yingjie. Gao Yingjie was somewhat astonished that a youth only at the fifth step, with the assistance of his team, could block his attacks sessfully twice in a row. Although he was far from going all out, this was still shocking. This team was actually able to create a fiveyered elemental shield! If it was another neer Demon Hunt Squad, he was afraid that they would perhaps have not even been able to link a threeyered one! And to him, the [Divine Obstruction] of this first-ce youth of this year felt as if was utilized to the point of perfection. Not only did it seem mastered, but more importantly, it contained a mysterious material feel. Nheless, Gao Yingjie clearly didnt n on wasting too much time pondering. He slid forward, aiming at Long Haochen, who had been pushed back by his earlier strike, and instantly executing a shield charge. Of course, he wouldnt injure this youngster, but he still sent him flying, making the Saint Spiritual Stove lose its effects. Without a Guardian Knight with defense as his main focus, the others would have no way to sustain a single blow of his sword. However, also at that moment, he became distracted once again for a short period of time, making his shield charge unable to connect. The Demonic Eye above Han Yus head lost some shine and, at that moment, Han Yu didnt pursue his assault, instead standing motionless and as sturdy as a mountain as a rich golden fog surrounded his body. It was precisely the skill [Storing Power] that was often used by Long Haochen. As their current attacks could not break Gao Yingjies defense, only thepressed spiritual energy obtained through [Storing Power] had a better chance. In the next instant, Gao Yingjie appeared just like a sovereign, with endless awe, and as if he was controlling everything on earth. An immense golden ball of light formed behind Long Haochen, shooting up just like a huge meteor and fiercely crashing into Gao Yingjie. The extremely savage pressure made Gao Yingjiesplexion change immediately. He stared nkly for the first time in this match. The one soaring in the sky was precisely Wang Yuanyuan, after havingpleted the embedding of her three gems into the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, bringing it to the peak of its might. Spreading a dazzling pure golden colored radiance, the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield sparkled of red, yellow, white, blue, and gray, giving off a pressure like the one felt at the peak of mount Tai, while ramming straight at Gao Yingjie. Gao Yingjie didnt pursue, but attacked Long Haochen instead, who was standing still. However, during that time of inactivity, Long Haochen didnt stand idle. Three lights shone upon him in session as he chanted at rapid speed, an angel-like luster slowly taking shape above his head. [Faith Halo], [Guardians Favor], [Imposing Ring]. These were the three most basic great halos used by Guardian Knights. Long Haochen was already pretty proficient at them, so as long as he was given the time of a few slow breaths, he could activate them without even the need for incantations. Under the effects of the three great rings and the supplementary protection of the Holy Spirit Armor, the light shining upon Wang Yuanyuans body grew even more dazzling. Back then, in front of her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, even Long Haochen was narrowly defeated. If not for Haoyues assistance and the fact that Wang Yuanyuans consumption was already great, which prevented her from exhibiting the full might of her shield, he wouldnt have emerged victorious. If not for his victory in that match against Wang Yuanyuan, she would have entered the top 16 and her final ranking would probably have been quite better. At that time, Wang Yuanyuan, in her capacity as the most powerful warrior of the year, let the entirety of her fighting power burst out Standing in ce, he raised his shield; it was precisely [Divine Obstruction]. This symbol of a knight of high step was naturally something Gao Yingjie was capable of using as well. Facing the oppressive force of the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, he had no choice but to respond. However, at this same moment, a ck silhouette silently appeared at his back with a sh of dark golden radiance. Concealed in darkness, Caier chose this crucial moment to make her move. When Long Haochen was attacked for the first time, she had already changed her location. And surprisingly, Gao Yingjie didnt notice that she had disappeared from Long Haochens back to Han Yus. When Gao Yingjie was pursuing and attacking Long Haochen, he naturally passed beside Han Yus location. But as Han Yu was using [Storing Power], Caier was able to keep herself hidden behind him. Caier had chosen the ce to aim her attack with particr attention. It was precisely at the center of the two wings made of condensed spiritual energy, a target located on the middle of his back. This was the weakest ce in his wings defense. Admittedly, [Divine Obstruction] truly was a domineering ability, but its greatest w lies in the fact that for a split second when its defense is unleashed, the user has to stay motionless before relying on the release of energy from his entire body to counteract the enemys attack. And the timing Caier chose was exactly that split second of stillness when the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was about to collide against his defense. Caier wasnt an expert at camouge, done through the means of various assassin tricks. She was an expert at concealment, looking for the opportunity before unleashing a fatal strike. Although she was blind, she was better at finding the opponents moment of weakness than anyone else. Not good! In that split second Caier was about to execute her attack, Gao Yingjiesplexion changedpletely. He was indeed a Temple Knight of the seventh step; although Caiers action waspletely silent, his sense of danger led him to detect her. After many years spent battling demons, he had developed an instinct close to a beasts. Without the slightest hesitation, he dispelled [Divine Obstruction], the heavy sword in his right hand shifting to block his back just like a bolt of lightning. Meanwhile, his body instantly lit up with a prating gold color. _Ding, Bang._ Almost at the same time, two sounds echoed. Wang Yuanyuan only felt as if she bumped against a mountain as a violent pressure sent her flying back and making her drop the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. However, her intrepid all-out strike still swayed Gao Yingjies body. In the center of his shield, a few gaps appeared. In the same state of [Storing Power] as before, Han Yu could clearly see that, behind Gao Yingjie, upon meeting his heavy sword, Caiers attack had unexpectedly pierced through it. However, Caiers attack was repelled back by Gao Yingjies body. Vaguely, a prative golden gloss could be seen behind the heavy sword. Parts of Gao Yingjies body had turned into a golden radiance. It was the signature ability of a Temple Knight of the seventh step, [Brilliant Body]. Chapter 161 - Mythril Foundation Armor (I)

Chapter 161: Mythril Foundation Armor (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen felt something was different the moment Gao Yingjie released Brilliant Body. He could feel from the depths of his consciousness the light essence in the air overflow, rapidly concentrating around Gao Yingjie. Long Haochen could even perceive slight fluctuations in the light essence. This was the second time Long Haochen had seen Brilliant Body, but unlikest time, it was being used in battle. After that formidable ability was unleashed, it seemed as if Gao Yingjies body itself had turned into an enormous light gem, frantically absorbing the integrality of the light essence present in the air. Even though she was sent flying, Wang Yuanyuan didnt sustain any injuries because of Caiers influence. When Gao Yingjie blocked her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, he was unable to use his full force and the might of this blood-bound equipment that is already close to the legendary tier was revealed, not only swaying Gao Yingjie, but also protecting Wang Yuanyuans body. On Gao Yingjies face appeared total astonishment. As his heavy sword was pierced, he naturally felt that although Brilliant Body and the wings made of condensed spiritual energy on his back had, with difficulty, neutralized Caiers attack, the ice cold piercing aura had prated into the depths of his mind. Even more shocking to Gao Yingjie was that he still had an intense feeling of crisis. In a split second, hundreds and thousands of white lights glowed from Caiers chest, erupting out. It was precisely the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove. And these glowing lights from the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove werepletely concentrated on Gao Yingjies body without scattering. That highly concentrated attack, further adding to the fact that Caiers short dagger was performing another stab, left Gao Yingjie unable to turn around even with his superior cultivation. Brilliant Bodys formidable might appeared at that moment. In the blink of an eye, a golden prative light came out, surprisingly condensing before taking the shape of a golden armor. Regardless of whether it was Caiers Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove or her dark golden dagger, all of her repeated blows, letting out metallic sounds, were actually uneffective. The powerful recoil even pushed Caier back. The golden armor and the pair of wings made Gao Yingjie appear just like arge angel, and although this kind of angel couldnt be regarded as beautiful, it was still awe-inspiring. To have forced me into using Brilliant Body, you have already done pretty well. Long Haochen, receive my attack! Under the effect of the Saint Spiritual Stove, the other party could only direct his attacks at Long Haochen. This was the undoubtable and enormous assistance brought by the Saint Spiritual Stove in team battles. Not even turning back to peek a nce at Caier, he stepped forward. His basic brilliant armor made of Brilliant Bodys condensation was something these little fellows at the fifth step were not capable of breaking. A prating yellow me appeared, giving off an illusory feel. This me did not appear zing in the slightest, instead giving off a vague stagnating sensation. It was actually not the sunfire used formerly by Yang Wenzhao, but the holy sacred fire using light as me, a terrifying ability consuming 300 units of internal spiritual energy per second. If he hadnt opened the spiritual orifice when cultivating through the sixth step of Radiant Knight, he wouldnt have been able to use it. Simply said, the supplementary power provided by the holy sacred fire had the same might as a full-power Holy Sword. Holy Sacred Fire used inbination with Brilliant Body, the two signature abilities of Temple Knights of the seventh step were already disyed. This was the real strength of a Temple Knight of the seventh step. At that moment, Gao Yingjie was at a distance of roughly ten meters from Long Haochen, the heavy sword in his right hand pointing at him and aiming his holy sacred mes just like a chain which was going straight for him. At this very moment, a gaudy golden halo broke out from Gao Yingjie. Behind him were Caier as well as Han Yu, who was standing not far away and only felt his whole body heating up before being pushed back, interrupting Storing Power at the same asion. In his capacity as a powerhouse of the seventh step, Gao Yingjies perception was beyondparison to these youths he was facing. Everything urring near him was iparably clearer to him. Of course, he also knew about Han Yu using Storing Power, and the fact he didnt try to interrupt him earlier was to make him use up more spiritual energy. At the moment Han Yus Storing Power was nearpletion, his consumption of spiritual energy higher than half, Gao Yingjie made him lose all of his power with a push from his golden halo. The golden halo, in itself, didnt have any offensive power, but under its effect, except from Long Haochen, everyone was pushed back. And more rming to them was that, because they saw he wanted to attack Long Haochen, Haoyue and Lin Xin were putting great efforts into preparing their defensive spells. However, under the effect of this golden halo, the elemental shields they were preparing just disappeared noiselessly. Lin Xin let these words slip out, Element Obliterating Halo! Element Obliterating Halo was a spell that could make anyone under the seventh step instantly crumble as well as interrupt elemental magic, an effective spell against powerhouse summoners belonging to the demon race. But surprisingly, this Element Obliterating Halo, when used by Gao Yingjie, also had a notable repelling effect, just like Resisting Ring of Fire. More exquisite was the optimal course of action, leaving Long Haochen without another choice but to take on this attack by himself. Only in this instant did the youthsprising the soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad #1 truly understand what a real powerhouse was. Without assistance from hispanions, Long Haochen had to face Gao Yingjie head on. However, he remained as cool-headed as before. The Holy Filter Shield was, the same as the others, a spell, and as such, disappeared under the effect of this Element Obliterating Halo. Now all he could do was to resist firmly. Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen made the golden liquid surrounding his Saint Spiritual Stove quiver madly, both arms turning into a golden color. The golden liquid kept flowing out, filling the air above his two arms. Bowing, he used Divine Obstruction. Without possibility of dodging, he could only grit his teeth with his arms stiff. _Puff._ The holy sacred fire hit the Holy Spirit Shield, covering it with a dense gold color. If he was facing real enemies, Gao Yingjie would only have needed to let his holy sacred fire spread through the air, turning them all into ashes. But at this moment, he was only trying to evaluate the strength of these youths and nothing more, so he would naturally not resort to such methods. The one he was the most interested in was Long Haochen, the captain of this team. As this years Demon Hunt Selections first position, what could his limits be? Exquisitely controlling the holy sacred fire, he kept his attack going. The moment Long Haochen could no longer resist, Gao Yingjie would immediately cease. The Holy Spirit Shields defense was truly formidable, even surpassing Long Haochens former Radiant Shield. However, there was no way it could withstand the holy sacred fire. Instantly spreading out, it aimed at both of Long Haochens hands. This time, there wasnt an intense physical pain, but the pure light essence gave him a scorching pain. Directly in contact with it, he could feel its heat. It was a genuinely mild but overwhelming scorching heat. When Long Haochens liquid spiritual energy met with the holy sacred fire, it felt as if it turned into fuel. Although the holy sacred fire was only spread to his two arms, Long Haochen could only feel as if his bodys defenses were all ignited. In his chest, the Saint Spiritual Stove had turned dark, the liquid spiritual energy in his body moving back and forth in an unstable state. However, Long Haochen found out to his astonishment that, even in this predicament, he could not sense any danger. Long Haochen didnt sense any danger, but in this split second, Gao Yingjie did. Right after his Element Obliterating Halo dispersed all magic from the members of the Demon Hunt Squad #1 and the sacred holy fires attack was aimed at Long Haochens Holy Spirit Shield, a torrential killing intent immediately burst out from behind. Caiers purple hair faintly moved, dispersing around, and her expressionless eyes turned grey. Emitting a deep blue aura all around, she made the dark green dagger in her hand disappear and slowly spread her two arms aside. Outside the deep blue aura, the air five meters around suddenly turnedpletely grey. No one found out what this grey color was, but Gao Yingjie could discover to his shock that, on his back, the killing intent transmitted was almostpletely pure. Even if he was d in the Brilliant Armor made with Brilliant Body and further adding the burst of power from the holy sacred me, he could still feel that with the wind blowing behind, that heavenly killing intent was unexpectedly full of holy aura and inplete tranquility. _This What is this?!_ Reacting almost instantly, Gao Yingjie immediately turned around and happened to see that the one releasing it was Caier. _How can this seemingly blind girl release such a terrifying aura?! Itpletely surpasses her level of cultivation at the fifth step!_ Fortunately, with the previous attack using the holy sacred fire, the effects of Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove were interrupted. If not for this fact, Gao Yingjie would have had to face danger. This feeling, as cold as a blizzard, made Gao Yingjie feel as if he fell into hell. If this was an enemy he was facing, he would absolutely, without the slightest hesitation, choose to attack. However, the one standing in front of him wasnt an enemy. As the grey area surrounding her expanding, her terrifying killing intent deepened at an astonishing speed as well. Also at that moment, all members of the soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad #1 sprung suddenly, as if affected by the intense pressure erupting frantically. Slowly recovering her strength, Wang Yuanyuan jumped up once again, the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield in her hand carrying intense silver radiance. The enormous fluctuations of spiritual energy blended into the air with frantic speed as her pair of big eyes carried a hint of silver. The enormous Creature Summoning Gate finally opened at thest second. This time, it wasnt a sheep, but what took the initiative toe out were over thirty pitch-ck slender tentacles, shooting out and twisting the air violently. A plump body then finally followed,ing out from the Creature Summoning Gate. Above Han Yus head, his Demonic Eye was preparing to attack Gao Yingjie, but in the instant the enormous creature came out from the Creature Summoning Gate, against expectations, it shook violently, evading and hiding behind Han Yus back. Chapter 162 - Mithril Foundation Armor (II)

Chapter 162: Mithril Foundation Armor (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Chen Yinger was seated on the ground, carrying an intimidating pale face, and taking deep breaths. Clearly, her spiritual energy was overflowing. Lin Xin couldnt attack, but he was not the only fire attribute user on their side! zing World was unleashed: a red radiance shone upon his fire cloud crystal, bursting out before falling on Little Fires head. Rapidly, he transmitted his own spiritual energy to Little Fire. Previously, in the instant the halos were broken together with the elemental shield, Lin Xin was the only one to notice that Haoyues three heads: Little Light, Little me and Little Greens eyes had turned ferocious. Behind his back, the bulges emitted faint ripples of purple color and his three head chanted with rapid tempo. Suddenly sounding, it seemed that they were respectively chanting their own incantation, but if one was to pay careful attention, they would notice that these three heads chants had surprisingly a single tempo, and their eyes, previously lit in different colors, turned into a faint-purple color However, they werent the first to make their moves. An enormous silver light hammer appeared suddenly. It had a length exceeding five meters, the length of the head could be seen to exceed two meters. Holy white color was scattered on a hexagonal trajectory, forming a halo. But in the instant it appeared, a pleasant mysterious sound seemed to resound all around. In particr, in the silver hammers surroundings, ayer of blood filled the air. After this attack wasunched, a bald headed man fell on his butt, on the ground. And hisplexion looked even worse than Chen Yingers. With the shield in his left hand, Gao Yingjie blocked, producing a loud _dang_ sound. His body was suddenly lit with a golden color; it was precisely Divine Obstruction. The enormous silver hammer of light was routed, but Gao Yingjies two feet were slightly sunken down. Suddenly, from the Creature Summoning Gate, an enormous silhouette could already be clearly seen. Surprisingly, it was an enormous Demonic Eye. That fellows enormous eyeball, serving as his body, had a diameter exceeding 3 meters. It was no wonder that he needed the enormous Creature Summoning Gate toe out: he had more than thirty tentacles, each one twenty meters long, surrounding Gao Yingjie from all directions. Meanwhile, on the enormous eyeball, strong white heat arouse, forming circles of white fog. Its terrible might was surging out. Demonic Eye Ruler, magical beast of the eighth step, and evolution of the Demonic Eye. No one would have expected that the one with the least expectations, Chen Yinger, would actually aplish this feat, summoning a magical beast of the eighth step. In itself, a magical beast of the eighth step was equivalent to a human powerhouse of the seventh step. More importantly, this Demon Eye Ruler was a particr kind of magical beast of the eighth step, relying on spiritual attacks. Gao Yingjie naturally felt the aura of a magical beast of the eighth step, but at this moment, he didnt dare to turn back, because he felt that Caier was at this moment even more dangerous than that magical beast of the eighth step. Splintering Space Saut Wang Yuanyuan shouted out loudly, and an enormous silver-colored light pir exploded out, with noisy whistling sounds, directly aimed at Gao Yingjie. This was the mostplete Splintering Space Saut she was capable of, at least twice as powerful as it was at the time she used it against Long Haochen. At the same time the Splintering Space Saut was used, the Demonic Eyes tentacle also arrived. Gao Yingjie sighed, and at this instant, he made a movement no one was able to understand. He simply and unexpectedly started to sit down. A bright silvery light appeared, but this silvery light didnt have high intensity, giving off a boundless feel. Around Gao Yingjie, the air turned viscous, the sign of magic element condensation. Under him, a twisting silvery light appeared, taking the shape of a silver square shaped box with numerous silver patterns designed on it. And when he was about to be seated, it happened to be on this box. Silvery light ascended, forming an enormous pir of light. When the Demonic Eye Rulers tentacles met this silvery light, an electric shock bounced at them, blocking their path. Gao Yingjies hand shone with a golden luster, and on his hand, the fine iron shield carried a whimpering sound, blocking the Splintering Space Saut. Comparing the fine iron shield and the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, the gap between the two was just like the one between heaven and earth, but with the cultivation level gap, he could still dominate the sh with his tyrannical power. With a loud explosion, the fine iron shield filled the air with traces of Splintering Space Saut, and the igniting holy sacred fire dispelled the major part of the Space Splintering Saut, which in the end could only hit a small part of Gao Yingjies body. His body waspletely surrounded by a viscous matter shining of silver. Meanwhile, a sharp and pleasant noise resembling music resounded. Everyone could only see a sweep of silvery light, and from that silver box, a pair of greaves came out, wrapping Gao Yingjies two legs, including his feet. From the ce where he was seated, it could be seen that his lower back and thighs and his two feet were wrapped inside/in this silvery light. Along with Gao Yingjies movements, the silvery light fluttered downwards, continuously producing melodious sounds. In a few breaths time, a helmet and an armor enveloped of silver had already covered Gao Yingjies body. They had not expected this phenomenon, nor had they seen it before, but they heard of its legend. Except from Caier, all members of the Demon Hunt Squad #1 shouted out in unison, A Mithril Foundation Armor! The silver armor glittered faintly, that mercury-like thick glitter spread in a range of a third of a meter, letting off an irresistible formidable pressure. The silver armor was not decorated with excessive designs, but its overall appearance was simply magnificent. Each protrusion, each line carried a feel of perfection. On it, each line appeared almost alive: straight lines, arced lines, edged lines, clearly enabling smooth movement. They blended together perfectly, giving birth to this magnificence. More importantly, putting aside the silvery light, there was also that zing holy sacred light. And at the same time Gao Yingjie put on the armor, the holy sacred fire erupted and rose ten meters high. How formidable would a me extending ten meters be? The violent pressure was already enough to make all people feel weak. In his hands, there was no shield; he was only holding his fine iron sword. However, the current Gao Yingjie gave Long Haochen a feeling of expectation. _Creak._ With a sharp and severe sound, a terrifying white ray with three meters diameter brazenly broke out/erupted, aiming straight for Gao Yingjie. The Demonic Eye Rulers attack was finallyunched. In the instant this white ray appeared, everyone felt confused, because that huge bright ray passed near Hao Yue. As for the incantation his three heads werepleting, it was suddenly interrupted, although almost over. Three different colored magic elements dispersed from his body. With a sh of Hao Yues body, his three heads suddenly turned back, their six purple glittering eyes filled with anger, staring at the Demonic Eye Ruler. From beginning to end, Gao Yingjie didnt turn back, just like his eyesight extended behind him. Trembling holy sacred light erupted, sweeping behind him and condensing into the shape of an immense brilliant shield. There wasnt a violent explosion, only a faint and sour sound. Bright dust fell, and the holy sacred fire turned dimmer. Gao Yingjies body was surrounded by a thick silveryyer, sparkling for a bit before it came back to normal. A Mithril Foundation Armor waspletely made of mithril, a very rare kind of metal. In the present time, mithril was considered to be one of the best type of metal for wounding demons. Even a fist-sized block of mithril had a crazy value of 10,000 gold. Any weapon with the slightest bit of mithril in it would suddenly reach the rank of magical weapon, and if a little more was added, it would immediately reach the rank of spiritual equipment. And this armor was entirely made of mithril, formed with at least seven different magical arrays. Mithril was an extremely thick material, so naturally, its weight was also astonishing. This silver armor covering Gao Yingjies entire body had at least a weight of 500 kilos! Mithril Foundation Armors were especially important to the Knight Temple, considered to them as the most formidable type of armor. Only the most outstanding Temple Knight, of the seventh step, had the qualifications to wear it, and there was also a luck factor in that. In the entire Knight Temple, there were a total of 365 Mithril Foundation Armors and to forge them all, a total of 3000 years were spent. In some aspects, they managed to copy the Divine Thrones might. Each Mithril Foundation Armor was a genuine Legendary Tier equipment, and furthermore, covered the entire body! All the 365 Mithril Foundation Armors already had a master. If a new Temple Knight of the seventh step wanted to wear one, he would not only have to challenge and defeat other knights of the same step, but also wait for an opportunity. One either had to challenge a mithril foundation knight, and gain it, or a mithril foundation knight had to perish or retire. Only under these circumstances could a Temple Knight obtain this set/piece of legendary equipment. Of course, there was another method, which is to exchange it with enough contribution points. When doing the exchange, the priority was given to the better ranked ones. But to get a set of Mithril Foundation Armor with this method, the required amount of contribution points was absolutely astronomical. Ever since the 365 Mithril Foundation Armors were forged, they had been a cornerstone of the formidable might of the Knight Temple, and none of them were ever lost. In case the knight died inbat, the supplementary Mithril Foundation magic would activate, making ite back to the Knight Temple autonomously. Furthermore, a Mithril Foundation Armor possessed extremely formidable restorative capabilities; trying to destroy itpletely would be extremely difficult. At this very moment, Long Haochens group had seen this legendary equipments existence for the first time of their lives, their originally intense thirst for battle seemingly vanishedpletely. With a dazzling glitter, and a bright stimtion of light, the Saint Spiritual Stove was once again activated, its light falling on Gao Yingjies body. Chapter 163 - Mithril Foundation Armor (III)

Chapter 163: Mithril Foundation Armor (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Even the magic protective screen formed by the Mithril Foundation Armor was unable to stop the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove. Gao Yingjie couldnt help but look slightly shocked, his face concealed behind the helmet. From his point of view, Long Haochen, who had taken the attack of the holy sacred fire head-on, should have lost all fighting spirit. How could he still activate his Saint Spiritual Stove? But did Long Haochen really lose his fighting spirit? No! And at the same time his teammatesunched their most powerful attacks, a change also appeared on him. His entire body turned immaterial, prated by bright light. Dazzling golden mes were rising above his body and his pair of golden eyes took in and sent out a great brilliance. If one was to assess his current state, then, from an exterior point of view, he looked just like the former Gao Yingjie, fully using Brilliant Body and bathed in holy sacred light. Boundless light element spiritual energy came out from him, exceeding by far his strength in normal conditions. Bright light wasing in and out from him at an intense speed, carrying an illusory feel, and a heavy sword was in the former position of his Holy Spirit Shield. At the same time he activated his Saint Spiritual Stove, Long Haochen shouted out loudly,unching a charge toward Gao Yingjie who was d in his Mithril Foundation Armor. Naturally, Long Haochen knew that, no matter how, he had to find a way to be a match against Gao Yingjie. He was also not sure about what had happened to his body, or how his strength suddenly rose. However, he felt that Caier was not in a normal state. Caier was his most beloved that he wanted to protect throughout his whole life, how could he let her be the one to face the formidable Gao Yingjie? Facing powerful foes and blocking them at the front, these were his duties as a knight and as a man. As a result, even though he was aware of the disparity between them, he still chose to once again utilize the Saint Spiritual Stove, and furthermore switched to Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, choosing to charge forth toward the opponent. It didnt matter if everyone else was shaken by that Mithril Foundation Armor; as the captain, and as the heart of the team, he couldnt. He had to act first, so as to arouse his teammates courage. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light swayed, taking the shape of ripple-like waves while a pair of foggy blue and gold colored light was being emitted. Then, the heavy sword in Long Haochens hand suddenly disappeared, faint golden and blue afterimages bing visible. They looked just like a stream of water and a stream of light intertwining with each other, aiming directly at Gao Yingjie. In the same instant, the holy sacred fire on Long Haochens body was ignited before extinguishing instantly, the immaterial feeling disappearing at the same time. Because of that, he tumbled a step forward, but used the Holy Spirit Sword to stand firm. At the same moment, Caier calmly moved on the other side , a ck light bursting forth from the top of her head. The formerly grey aura surrounding her body instantly turned ck, seemingly turning into pure killing intent, achieving an astonishing change. As for Gao Yingjie who was d in his Mithril Foundation Armor, the thickyer of silvery light enhancing his defense disappeared. Gao Yingjie just felt a choking sensation in his whole body, having difficulty to resist that terrifying killing intent even with the aid of his Mithril Foundation Armor. _This is not a material attack, but sheer killing intent! How can this girl have such terrifying killing intent?_ Gao Yingjie snorted, and to ones surprise, took half a step back. At this time, he was in an extremely passive state; with the existence of the Saint Spiritual Stove, he was left with no way tounch an attack aimed at Caier. Indeed, this Saint Spiritual Stove wouldnt be enough to sway his determination, but the threat he felt from Caier was just too terrifying, to the extent that he didnt even dare turn back to give a response to Long Haochenwho was bursting forth with a bizarre attack, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in hand. Caier, stop! was said with a chilly and distinct voice. Just recently, the dark light spreading from above Caiers head was something she didnt let the others see clearly, but in this instant, it disappeared, not leaving any trace behind. With this, Gao Yingjie only felt cold sweat flowing through his entire body. He didnt know what kind of ability Caier was using, but he waspletely sure that, if that blow was unleashed, it would not have been easy in any way to block it. However, Long Haochens attack was now about to fall on Gao Yingjies back. A blue and golden colored radiance was hovering and spinning at high speed, condensing into the shape of a sharp cone and ferociously striking Gao Yingjies back, aiming to prate the thickyer of defense of the Mithril Foundation Armor. With a _Pu_ sound, Gao Yingjie leaned forward, terrifyingly destructive power bursting forth onto his body. With a hand on the ground and the pair of wings on his back unfolding, Gao Yingjie forced, with difficulty, his body to stay stable. However, the upper part of his body was slightly swayed, and he let out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, on the Mithril Foundation Armor on his back, arge gap could be seen, proof that his body had been wounded, and around this gap, there were little needle-sized gaps. Water causing multiple holes, overwhelming and prating light; it was the effects brought by the supplementary ability of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light; Bright Rain of the Thrusting Hibiscus. Originally, Long Haochen was prepared to use this technique in the battle for the championship against Yang Wenzhao. But in the end, Yang Wenzhao didnt manage to withstand his formidable fighting spirit, and lost before he even had the asion to use this move. In regard to Bright Rain of the Thrusting Hibiscus, Long Haochen himself didnt have much information, because with his current cultivation level, evenunching this attack was difficult. The cultivation level and the spiritual energy output on it was also a factor of this blows power. Long Haochens internal spiritual energy had just had a sudden increase, and although he had no idea on what had happened, he decided to pour this foreign spiritual energy entirely in Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, to activate this technique, the most powerful offensive skill that he currently possessed. Even Long Haochen didnt think that Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light would have such great offensive might, to actually manage to wound Gao Yingjie who was protected by his Mithril Foundation Armor. Golden and blue streams of light flowed back,ing back into Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in Long Haochens hand. Looking at the sword in his hand, Long Haochen couldnt mask the fondness he felt for it. This sword was furthermore blessed with intelligence, its spirit connected with his, linked to his soul in a simr way to Haoyue and him. In the air, a crack appeared beside Caier and a tall and thin figurepletely d in ck appeared. The one who came was no one else but the Assassin Temples Hall Master, hero of the ninth step and secondary Alliance leader Sheng Yue. Sheng Yuepletely ignored everyone else and stared nkly at Caier, Reckless kid, this is a mere spar, how could you utilize that power? Could it be that you forgot the price you have to pay when using it? The grey luster in Caiers eyes gradually scattered, and she replied indifferently, Great-grandfather, this is my first battle together with him, I didnt want it to be a loss. Sheng Yues face suddenly darkened, You girl Is he so good? Deserving that you pay such a price? Caier seemed to suddenly be obstinate, replying with a rebellious tone, He is the only one who let me feel affection and warmth. Sheng Yue nked out, his former ferocious look suddenly easing up. His breath turning heavier, he turned to look at Gao Yingjie who withdrew his Mithril Foundation Armor. Youre also quite a source of trouble, dont tell me you didnt realize that the power she stirred wasnt something that belonged to herself, not in the slightest. Why didnt you stop her with words? Gao Yingjie respectfully bowed toward Sheng Yue, performing a knight salute, Heroic Senior. I only wanted to try out these youths limits. As their current leader, I needed to test them to know their real strength. Sheng Yue wrinkled his brows, Then what are the results of this test? Gao Yingjies eyes shed brilliantly, Its even greater than I expected. Although they cant be described as well-coordinated and a lot of them have unstable abilities, under these circumstances, they disyed strength far exceeding their normal capabilities. Having gone through this short examination, I believe they are able to disy even greater potential. Truly deserving to be this years soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad #1 Sheng Yue nodded, his nce sweeping past this group of youths and stopping suddenly on this Demonic Eye Ruler, Young girl, this Demonic Eye Ruler is truly not bad, why not consider letting it be your contracted beast? Although its power is quite greater than yours, if you are willing, this old man will help you by suppressing it. A Demonic Eye Ruler has a chance of turning into a Demonic Eye Despot, a peaked magical beast of the ninth step. Chen Yinger stood up at that moment, shaking her head without the slightest hesitation, No way! Its just toooo ugly! Return immediately! As she ordered, she waved her hand to this Demonic Eye Ruler. Filled with loathing, it resentfully gave her ast nce before going in the Creature Summoning Gate. Sheng Yue sighed with some regret, telling her, A Demonic Eye is truly not fitting for a girl. But the asion of turning a summoned beast with the possibility of breaking through the ninth step into your contracted beast is not something you will easily find. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue and said, Still, I definitely dont want it. Grandma said that a personal contracted beast had to be fostered since young to get its perfect obedience. This one is already so grown up, what if it bites me back in the future? Sheng Yue indifferently spoke back, As you wish. In the end, he wasnt a powerhouse from the Spiritual Temple. And what he had no way to know was that this young girl was in the middle of thinking, _That bad guy Yang Wenzhao has such a beautiful Starlight Unicorn. If I take such an ugly contracted beast, wouldnt it be an extreme loss of face?_ Sheng Yue took a deep voice, You young fellows really have an exaggerated opinion of your own abilities! Could it be that you really had the delusion that you could defeat a Temple Knight? Do you realize what the difference of level between you both is? Wang Yuanyuan was a girl with a reckless temperament who didnt care about who she was facing. She could not help but give this spontaneous reply, We were just about to win. Captain has just gotten wounded against us. Sheng Yue snorted coldly, Just about to win? You fell by an extremelyrge amount, you mean! If he really wanted to kill you, he wouldnt even need three seconds to do so. For him to have gotten a Mithril Foundation Armor, his cultivation level is at least at the seventh rank of the step of Temple Knight. And what does the fact that hes at least a Temple Knight of the seventh rank imply? It implies that his internal spiritual energy is above 23,000! Even if we add up the internal spiritual energy of each of you, its still inferior to his! The only reason why he got wounded is indeed because of that attack LHC just executed, but more importantly, he was afraid of wounding you and was always in a defensive state. Otherwise, how could Long Haochen attract his attacks for so long with his Saint Spiritual Stove? For all vocations, the higher the cultivation step is, the more obvious the disparity bes. A full force attack from a powerhouse of the seventh step is something only someone with my cultivation level can take head on lightly. As for you? Humpf! Chapter 164 - Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity (I)

Chapter 164: Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales These youths suddenly shut their mouths, and looked at each other, astonished inside. Internal spiritual energy: 23,000. Such a terrifying number! Even if they added up the seven people in the whole group, the amount would not even reach 14,000. With such a gap of spiritual energy, how could they bepared? Sheng Yues look fell onest time on Caier, The one making the most trouble is you. Thats right, sure, that power you tried to unleash was capable of threatening him. However, it would have definitely forced him to go all out to handle you. The reason why I came out was not to help him, but to help you. Otherwise, although you would have definitely inflicted heavy wounds on him, you would surely have died in the process. Caier calmly stood there, not saying a single word. Toward this great-grandfather of hers, she didnt have any familiar feelings at all. Long Haochen,e with me. I have something to tell you. Sheng Yues look turned ice-cold, like a sharp knife, as he turned back to look at the weakened Long Haochen. Hearing these words, Caier finally showed some reaction, her body slightly shivering. Sheng Yue shot her a nce before taking a step forward. With it, there was already a distance of ten meters between them. Long Haochen retrieved his weapons and equipment before chasing after Sheng Yue with big strides. Gao Yingjie turned to look at everyone, his resolute face revealing a faint smile, Although I suppressed a part of my strength you forced me to take out my Mythril Foundation Armor for defense today, which is something you can be proud of. There will be a day when you will reach my level and even surpass it. Alright, you may rest for half an hour. Then, well set off. In this instant, Chen Yinger seemed to have already been revitalized, hopping vivaciously to Caiers side, Caier, youre really strong! Just now, what was that called? So strong!!! Caier didnt say anything, only shaking her head before sitting in her previous seat, silently recovering her consumed spiritual energy. Aside from Long Haochen, she acted coldly towards everyone, and didnt speak much. This was not really an attitude that she disyed deliberately. Chen Yinger secretly made an dissatisfied grimace to Caier before running off toward Wang Yuanyuan. Long Haochen headed to the other side of the stadium together with Sheng Yue, who stopped his steps there before turning back to look at him, Long Haochen. Calling out the name of this youth, Sheng Yue had a feeling of not daring to speak to him. The word beautiful could be used to describe this handsome youth possessing an abundance of special qualities not present in normal people. Even if Sheng Yue was extremely picky by nature, he had difficulty in finding defects in this youth. However, he still felt somewhat uneasy in his heart; no matter what one may say, he was still the one who snatched his own great-granddaughter. Heroic Senior. Long Haochen raised his right hand to perform a knight salute to Sheng Yue. Sheng Yue stayed silent for some time before saying gently, Caier, this girl, has been in much pain since she was young. I dont know why you hold such importance to her, neither do I know what attracts you to her, but you are a knight. And as such, I wish that youll fight together with her in the future and protect her in those moments. Long Haochen resolutely replied, I made an oath that I would protect Caier during my entire life. That I would use my life to protect her. Sheng Yue directed a deep look toward him, his face easing up, Use your actions to prove it to me. Also, just now, you should have seen the ability Caier was trying to use. Keep in mind that unless it is a situation of death or life, where her life really is threatened, you must not let her use this move lightly. This is because that ability will bring great harm to her body. Do you understand? Long Haochens thoughts shivered. Previously, when Caier released that terrifying killing intent at Gao Yingjie, how could Long Haochen not be rmed by it? He didnt expect that Caier would be so powerful to such an extent, so much that he began to look up to her. Pondering over this matter, he realized, _How could Caier, who only reached the fifth step of cultivation, disy such a formidable ability? As it turned out, it actually came with a great price to pay._ _She said that she definitely did not want to lose because it was her first battle by my side. Caier, ah, Caier! Even though I swore that I would protect you for a lifetime, you were the only one to sacrifice yourself so far._ Looking at Long Haochen, Sheng Yues eyes gradually turned more and more red, knowing that he understood his point. Now go. And remember, both you and Caier are even more important than divine artifacts. In your capacity as the squad captain, you should never permit your squad and yourself to enter a situation of unforeseen danger. Until you mature to twenty years old of age, your priority will be to keep yourself and Caier safe. After that moment, you will be more than qualified enough to defend yourself. Thank you for your guidance, heroic senior. Long Haochen saluted Sheng Yue once again. Sheng Yue revealed a faint smile, shaking his head, In the future, you can call me great-grandfather, just like Caier. Having spoken these words, he once again revealed his overwhelming superior capability by disappearing after taking a single step, leaving nothing behind. Long Haochen returned to Caier and sat by her side. His previous consumption of spiritual energy was just too great, so he needed time to recover. Half an hour hadnt passed, but Gao Yingjie seemed to have already recoveredpletely, reverting back to his normal state. Long Haochen previously dealt him severe wounds, but there wasnt the slightest trace of them anymore. Lets depart. His appearance was average, but the entire soldier 1st Demon Hunt Squad acknowledged their leaders formidable strength. After all, this man had already exhibited his strength to them. The seventh step, this was a real powerhouse of the seventh step! Leaving the Knight Stadium, an absolutelyrge carriage was waiting for them at the entrance. Using the word gigantic to describe this carriage would not even be an exaggeration. The carriage was three meters wide, about five or six meters long, had eight fine horses pulling it, and two drivers were seated in front of it. Each newly created Demon Hunt Squad would receive this treatment. After all, not everyone amongst themselves would have mount, and they couldnt go on this journey by walking. If they did so, their efficiency would just be too low. In the moment everyone was prepared to get on the carriage, a young girl suddenly ran up to them from nearby. Most of them were powerhouses at the fifth step, so their perception was naturally not weak. They all unconsciously stopped their steps to look at this young girl. It was ady looking 17 or 18 years-old, about the same age as Wang Yuanyuan though she looked more delicate. Her round face was puffing up and her astute-looking eyes seemed full of bitterness. Having short golden hair, she looked nimble and very lovely. Uncle master, are you insisting on leaving me behind like this? The girl hurriedly went in front of Gao Yingjie, opening up both of her arms to block his path. Looking at her, a hint of helplessness appeared on Gao Yingjies previously cold and stern face, Xiaoxue, dont be noisy and hurry up and return. Uncle has to go on a mission. I will be back as soon as it ispleted. Stay at home and train well. I dont want to, I want to go on this mission with uncle! Im also a knight! The girl called Xiaoxue stubbornly stared at Gao Yingjie. Gao Yingjies face dropped, Xiaoxue, your actions are making uncle angry. Furthermore, you are not young anymore, you cant stay with uncle for your entire life. Xiaoxues eyes shed with a hint of red, Papa and mama all left. Could it be that uncle also doesnt want me anymore? Thats right, I just want to spend my whole life with uncle; if she stays alone at home, Xiaoxue will be afraid. As she was dering these final words, her voice was already apanied with sobs. However, this was clearly not just an act. The grievance and fear in her eyes was not fake. From her looks, she was older than Long Haochen and Caier, but in terms of maturity, she seemed quite below the both of them. Having heard these words, Gao Yingjie looked down helplessly, his brows wrinkling. With a sigh, he finally said, Okay okay, juste together with us then. Let me introduce you to them. As he said so, he looked at everyone in the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad and said, Her name is Shi Xiaoxue, shes a a fifth ranked Retribution Knight of the fourth step. Chapter 165 - Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity (II)

Chapter 165: Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen inquired with some curiousness, Fourth step fifth rank? With her cultivation level, she should have been able to participate in the Demon Hunt Selection? Im curious on why I didnt get to meet her. Hearing him, Shi Xiaoxue immediately pouted, Humpf! It was uncle who didnt let me participate. Otherwise, I would have gone through the qualifiers without a problem. Gao Yingjie sighed before speaking in response, Her mother was a Demon Hunt Squad member, my battlepanion, but she lost her life in battle, leaving this child behind. How could I let her face the danger of entering a Demon Hunt Squad? I only hope for her to live calmly within the Alliance. Ever since her parents both passed away, this child had suffered mentally, making her especially uncourageous. She just never epts to be separated from me. Sorry everyone, please permit me to bring her along during this operation. Rest at east, she will not disturb you; I make sure to take responsibility for her safety. Hearing that Shi Xiaoxue had lost both her parents and seeing her mournful and pitiful appearance, how could anyone not give their agreement? Her grief turning into relief, Shi Xiaoxue mounted the carriage. The inside of the carriage was really spacious and there was even a specialist to take care of the rations on the road. With his height of four meters, even by doing his utmost to curl up, Haoyue still upied quite arge a area. Han Yu had sent his Demonic Eye back to its own space, but Haoyue was not the same. Unless it was by his own will, Long Haochen would never force him to return. After all, he had personally seen the vile environment and formidable foes in it. After he gave a simple exnation to hisrades, everyone naturally epted Haoyues presence. Upon the orders of the drivers, the eight healthy horses pulled the carriage outside of Holy City. Gao Yingjie sat in the most exterior seat of the carriage, and Shi Xiaoxue sat at his side. If someone was to look at her carefully, they would notice that this girl had her eyes glued on Gao Yingjies figure. As for him, he simply ignored herpletely. Alright, lets take advantage of this time to sum up our previous battle. Answer this first, on what aspect of this battle did you do well, and on what aspect were youcking? Gao Yingjie said in a deep voice. Naturally, the point of the battle they had just before was not to stake everything for an nonexistent chance at winning. It was actually not only to assess everyones ability, but at the same time to enable everyone to have a better understanding of everyone elses strength when pressured to a great extent. Chen Yinger, as a girl with a mind full of shit, immediately dered, pleased with herself, Putting Caier aside, the strongest one should be me. I have, after all, summoned a formidable magical beast of the eighth step. We really had some chances of winning. Sima Xian chuckled before speaking, Little sister Yinger, if I were to tell you to do so, would you be able to summon another magical beast of the eighth step? Chen Yingers look immediately changed as she muttered hastily, There will inevitably be a time when I can. Gao Yingjie turned to look at Long Haochen and said, Haochen, you are the captain, give us your thoughts. Long Haochen nodded and replied, Lets start with the strong points. Our strong points are pretty obvious, the main one being that almost everyone here possesses an offensive strength surpassing the average; my Bright Rain Hibiscus Thrust, Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, Sima Xiansbination of Madness with Sacred Hammer, Yingers summon using the Creature Summoning Gate, as well as Caiers extraordinary power. Inparison, Han Yu and Lin Xin are closer to the role of support, but their utility in battle remains quite considerable. Everything he said up to there was a thorough observation of everyones capabilities, just casually fiddling around and ordering his thoughts. Possessing these abilities that transcend our own ranks, we should easily disy strength surpassing our enemies expectations. As long as our teams power has the chance of being disyed, I believe that we can definitely be called the strongest neer Demon Hunt Squad. Hearing him up to there, everyone spontaneously nodded in session. During the course of the previous battle, the most dazzling one was, without a doubt, Caier. But in his capacity as the captain of the team, Long Haochens ability couldnt be neglected either. If not for his control over Gao Yingjie using his Saint Spiritual Stovebined with a defense that reached the greatest of heights, even granted that Gao Yingjie didnt use his full strength, they would have had a lot of difficulties to fully use those ultimate techniques of theirs. Long Haochensst blow also left a deep impression on everyone else. After all, Bright Rain Hibiscus Thrusts formidable prative offensive power had even managed to wound Gao Yingjie despite the fact that he equipped his Mythril Foundation Armor. That was how great Long Haochens offensive power was. As a result, everyone just grew more convinced that the strength of Long Haochen, their captain represented the first position well after all. Even Wang Yuanyuan, who was originally not totally convinced, could only feel admiration toward Long Haochen having personally witnessed the immense efficacy of both Bright Rain Hibiscus Thrust and the Saint Spiritual Stove. Even though everyone wasnt clear on Long Haochens age, they could still clearly see that, in the team, the three youngest were him, Caier, and Chen Yinger. And from the fact that Caier and him had even managed to reach the fifth step at such an age, everyone could see how immense their future prospects were. Gao Yingjie nodded and said, Now tell us about the shorings? Long Haochen said, It is also obvious that we were quitecking. First of all, we werent familiar with each other, so we didnt know each others skills, preparation time, power, efficacy, as well as fighting patterns. In such circumstances, it was hard to act in coordination, and thus, we were unable to fully disy ourbat power. To reach the level of perfect coordination, we will need to exercise continuously and increase our fighting experience. In the future, well definitely pay attention to this aspect. The second shoring is of the indefinite nature. This point is in regard to Yingers side; Yingers Creature Summoning Gate is indeed a formidable summoning spell, but she herself is unable to know what summon wille out. As a result, in the middle of battle, I find it hard to include her capability to our calctions. Even in the case that she calls out a formidable magical beast, it will still be a bad situation if it cannot act in coordination with us. For instance, just previously, that Demonic Eye Rulers attack had actually disturbed Haoyues magic. On the side, Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue, If the summoned magical beast is too powerful, Im indeed unable to control itpletely. Gao Yingjie slightly wrinkled his brows and said, Chen Yinger, I know that there has to be some secret to this Creature Summoning Gate, and it can be ssified as a personal secret of yours so I dont feelfortable asking you. However, you are now a part of the entire Demon Hunt Squad. Just like Han Yu, you are a seventh of the groups power. In this entire team, everyone is important. Thus, if you want the team to grow faster, you will have to stabilize your summons the earliest you can. Chen Yinger was slightly startled before she murmured, Im afraid that I have to at least reach the seventh step before I canpletely control the Creature Summoning Gate. Gao Yingjie said, Theres another solution, it is to get your contracted beast as soon as possible. In the current situation, Im afraid well have to wait a dozen years before you reach the seventh step. Dont tell me that during these ten years, you will always rely on yourpanions to protect you? From the point of view of the team, youll likely bring a catastrophe upon everyone else. When he spoke out these words, his tone had clearly be stricter. Chen Yingers charming face became paler as she slowly lowered her head, not uttering a single word. The others were all clear on the problem regarding her, but the team had just formed and she was just a little girl so no one said much about her, so as to avoid affecting their unity. And as the temporary leader, Gao Yingjie was obviously the most suited to be called an outsider. In fact, even if Lin Xin was unable tounch attacks, he could still rely on his outstanding magic control and magic quality to assist the whole team by taking care of the defense. But in the case that Chen Yingers Creature Summoning Gate couldnt summon a powerful magical beast, she would only be a burden to the whole team. In fact, even if she summoned something good, she wouldnt be able to control it well, which would not necessarily make it a good thing for the team. As a result, she could only be said to be the most unstable part of the team. Gao Yingjies dignified look swept past everyone and he said in a deep voice, You will all have to firmly keep in mind that you are a single entity, aplete team. You will have to prioritize the teams interests. Otherwise, if a problem arises in any one of you, its the whole group that will be weighed down. In the middle of a battle, you will have to depend on each other. Even if your power is nearly exhausted, you must always find a way to do your part in the team. Chapter 166 - Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity (III)

Chapter 166: Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity (III)

In the next three months, I will do my utmost to pass my experience onto you. The amount you will manage to learn and to disy will depend on yourself. Now, I am going to make a personal analysis on everyone in this 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad . I have already told everything about Chen Yinger; she is the most undeterminable element of the team. But since you are a team, in battle, it will be everyones duty to protect her. Once she is grown up in the future, she will inevitably be an important part of the team. When his look fell on the sole mage of the team, Gao Yingjie clearly revealed some interest, Lin Xin, did you know that you are the most outstanding mage Ive seen this year? Eh? Lin Xin started, feeling that this sudden praise was somewhat unbefitting of him. He originally believed that Gao Yingjie would look down upon him for not being able to attack. Gao Yingjie continued in a deep voice, Today was the first time you cooperated together, but in this coboration, aside from Long Haochens magical beast, you were the one with the best coordination with him. When your total energy elemental shield as well as your elemental shields were used on him, the defensive support you gave Long Haochen was even greater than his magical beasts! If I am not mistaken, you relied on your control to improve the efficiency of your elemental shields, providing even greater results. The magical staff in your hand should be a pure fire cloud crystal, bringing you quite a decent amplification. However, if you didnt naturally have outstanding talent, it wouldnt have been possible for you to use your defensive spells with such speed. Even though I should not ask of anothers secret, among all of you, the one Im the most curious about is you; why cant you use any offensive magic? I know that you are also an alchemist. Further adding to the fact that you possess this kind of double specialization, your defensive magic has great utility. If you wholeheartedly devote yourself on training your magic control, I can predict that you are bound to be the pride of the Mage Temple in the future. Hearing Gao Yingjies words, Lin Xin turned silent. This narcissistic, deep green-haired youthsplexion darkened, but he didnt say anything, only lowering his own head and sitting there. Gao Yingjie gave him a deep look and said, Okay, okay. Presently, we have assessed the utility of Lin Xin, who can only use defensive magic, to our battle strategy. In this team, Lin Xins utility is no less than a shield warriors, and thanks to the fact that he uses magic, he can be said to have an even greater utilitypared to a shield warrior. Lin Xin, keep in mind that if you will forever be unable to use offensive magic, you will have to exert a lot of efforts on your fire control on defensive and assisting magic in the future. This way, when facing powerful foes, you will be able to assist Long Haochens defense, just like you did today. And the time you will shine the most in the team will be when facing numerous weak enemies; when someone meets danger or needs assistance, you will be the first to rush out to help them. This will require you to always keep an eye on the general situation. Lin Xin nodded in silence, I will try my best. Giving this short reply, he did not say any more, seemingly bing somewhat irritated by the fact that Gao Yingjie raised the question on why he couldnt use offensive magic. Gao Yingjie dered, I am cing Lin Xin in the rear, and Chen Yinger, as the one who will need the most protection, is to be ced in the middle of the formation. Long Haochen, take note that your mount will have to assist them in moving during battles, using, for example, the Float wind system technique and so on, and to carry them when it is necessary. Long Haochen paid serious attention to each word Gao Yingjie said. It was someone speaking based on real experience! In the field of cultivation and training, few could match Ye Huas research, but in the field of realbat experience, especially team battles, Ye Hua could hardly bepared to Gao Yingjie. Just like it could be seen from the scars on his body, his experience was based on lessons he learnt with his blood! Gao Yingjie continued speaking, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, from my eyes, you two are warriors, nothing more than an axe warrior and a holy warrior. Hearing him say so, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian couldnt help but reveal some embarrassment on their face. A faint smile appeared on Gao Yingjies face, You dont have to feel embarrassed, this is not a problem of any kind. No one takes the same path of development, the most important thing is that this path is suited to the two of you. Without a doubt, your external spiritual energy outstrips most people. Wang Yuanyuan, I will not say much to you, but in battle, you have to pay attention in order to match your rhythm with the others. You have to take note of the situation Long Haochen is in, act in parallel with him, and help him in handling the defense. You cannot create a hole in the whole formation on an impulse. Also, your ultimate move is powerful, but the consumption of spiritual energy is just too great, dont use it rashly. Yeah. Wang Yuanyuan nodded. She had a straightforward personality, so she would listen to the only partys guidance only if she acknowledged them as being more powerful than her. Gao Yingjie turned towards Sima Xian and said, As for you, theres more in what I need to tell to you. You are a priest, but chose a path close to a warriors. In itself, theres nothing wrong in that. As I see it, you can take the path of a Discipline Priest. A Discipline Priest? Sima Xian started, staring at him nkly. It was the first time he had heard of this. Gao Yingjie exined, It is something that hasnt appeared for many years already. A so called Discipline Priest is a kind of priest that mostly relies onbat. But you have to bear in mind that it is a priest and not a warrior. Thus, he must learn priest abilities, and not only offensive ones, but also the support skills. Choosing the path of a Discipline Priest implies the abandonment of healing, but you have to know that a Discipline Priest will rely on the bursting power of his sacred magic. Yourbined use of Madness with Sacred Hammer is good, but from what I saw, yourbination of sacred magic and closebat is still not good enough. On this side, you may ask Long Haochen for guidance. If you train well as a Discipline Priest, you will have the possibility of bing a powerhouse uniting magic andbat arts. As for your positions in the teams formation, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan, you will be both behind Long Haochen, covering the left and right sides to alleviate a part of Long Haochens burden while protecting Chen Yinger and Lin Xin if it is needed. Yes. Listening Gao Yingjies detailed analysis, everyone paid deep attention. Gao Yingjie was not only guiding everyone in their future development, but also their role in the formation, their urate positioning. In the future, when cooperating to fight together, their coordination would be better this way. Han Yu, your position will be at the back of the formation. I know that you are a Guardian Knight, but to a team, the rear is also extremely important. Your 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad s best advantage over the others is that you have one more Guardian Knight. Holding a good defense at the rear will lighten your teammates worries. At the same time, the Demonic Eye you have as a magical beastpanion will also provide good support. In case a rather powerful enemy appears, you will have to make your Demonic Eye intimidate it through spiritual magic to earn some time for yourrades to prepare themselves. Han Yu spoke, Captain, I have something to say. Gao Yingjie replied in response, Speak. Han Yu said, At the present time, the biggest problem of our team is that it doesnt have ess to the healing spells of a priest, which will affect our ability to sustain inbat. Thus, my future training path will be inclined toward the defense and healing aspects; this will make up for the deficiency of our team. A trace of astonishment immediately shed in Gao Yingjies eyes and he said, full of appreciation, Very good. This is something I wanted to mention. The fact you had this kind of awareness is a fortunate thing. Sima Xian sat at Han Yus side, and hearing Gao Yingjie that he immediately stretched his hand, putting it on Han Yus shoulder, Good brother, in the future, I hope to share my contribution points with you. Han Yu felt somewhat helpless as he cast him a nce aside, Dont stick to me with your flesh, I rather prefer the soft body of a young woman. Sima Xianughed out loudly, blinked his eyes, and did some flirtatious nces, Are you not okay with me? Shut up The others couldnt help butugh at this scene. Sima Xian felt guilty because of the fact that he couldnt carry on the duty of the healer for his team, but seeing that Han Yu took the initiative of assuming this responsibility, deep inside, he felt extremely grateful. What a great initiative! In the carriage, the atmosphere had lightened because of this episode, turning friendlier. Gao Yingjies look finally fell on Long Haochen and Caier. Caier, your offensive power is extremely great. You can be said to be the teams sharpest de: within this squad, your attack is the greatest. Thus, your duty is even greater. I know that your rtionship with Long Haochen is good, but dont forget that you are both members of this squad, and there will be a lot of times when you should not let your emotions affect you. Otherwise, you will not be helping him but harming him instead. He is the captain so, if you want to help him, help him in fulfilling his role as the captain. Gao Yingjies tone had be once again stern and serious. Caier slightly raised her head; although she was blind, it could be seen from this motion that she was carefully listening. Wah, Banzai, Yipiie! Uncle, youre so handsome! At that instant, a foolish and lovable voice interrupted Gao Yingjie in his serious talk. Shi Xiaoxue grabbed his arm while crying out. Gao Yingjies face turned a little red and he furiously said, Let go of me and look at yourself. Dont interrupt me! Oh Feeling aggrieved, Shi Xiaoxue lowered her head, but was still grabbing his sleeve with her hand. In regard to this young girl, Gao Yingjie indeed feltpletely helpless. Sima Xian, Han Yu, Chen Yinger, and Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but secretlyugh. At that time, Lin Xin, who was quietly pouting, seemed to also ease up by quite a bit, dubiously looking at Gao Yingjie before looking at Shi Xiaoxue and thinking to himself, Could it be that this is the so called old cow that eats light grass? Cough cough. Gao Yingjie coughed a few times, trying to mask his embarrassment. Firmly looking at Caier, he spoke, There are three points you have to keep in mind in regard to your duty. First, relying on your formidable offensive power, you will have to kill the enemies; be sure to be the one who kills the most of them. When there is no especially formidable existence among them, you will have to do your utmost to wipe them all out. This will lighten the pressure on yourrades. Next is to break the enemy formation. In the presence of enemies that are also organised well, you will have to break the enemy ranks stability so as to provide an opening for your teammates to attack. Last is to provide support when facing the most powerful foes. Caier, tell me: as an assassin fighting in team, in which context would you use your most powerful blow? Caier coldly answered, When killing the enemies. Gao Yingjie shook his head and said, No, you are wrong. That way, you will only disy your own force, and while under the restrictions you will face in battle, your own firepower will have no chance toe outpletely. When facing enemies more powerful than yourself, acting this way will be of no help to the team. You should know that the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple have the closest rtionship among all. The reason for this is not because that these two great Temples both specialize in close quarterbat, but more importantly, it is because of the nature of the abilities of a knight and an assassin naturallyplementing each other. A knight is the shield of an assassin, and an assassin is the sharpest weapon a knight can have. Hearing him speak, everyone could not help but feel moved. It was especially the case for Long Haochen, who seemed to have realized something. Gao Yingjie said, When facing a single enemy with strengthpletely surpassing yours, what you will have to do is not to act by yourself, but to act jointly with Long Haochen. You are the concealed existence that spreads Long Haochens shadow everywhere. The moment he is blocking the ultimate enemys move is the moment when your offensive power can burst out. This is the so called Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity. In front of powerful foes, the assassin has to be a sure-kill weapon directed against them, but will also have to assist the knight in defending against the attacks he cant blockpletely, ensuring his survival. Hence, I wish for Long Haochen and you to most rapidlyprehend each others capabilities and limits. Only this way, will you both unite so as to be the heart of the team. Caier nodded calmly, slightly bowing at Gao Yingjies direction, Thank you. To make her speak out the two words of submission, thank you, was not an easy feat to aplish. Everything Gao Yingjie had just said was for Caier to finally realize her real duty as a member of the squad. Obviously, the part that had impacted her the most was the expression Knight and Assassin Forming a Single Entity, the assassin helping the knights survival. In the previous battle, Caier was always trying her best to help Long Haochen, but she didnt know what was the best method for her to do so at all. But with these directions given by Gao Yingjie, given her intelligence, she had already begun to realize a great deal more. Gao Yingjie revealed a gratified look. As long as these youths listened to him, him taking the role of leader this time would not be for naught. The Temple Alliance attached extensive priority to the Demon Hunt Squads. And it was precisely for the sake of increasing these Neer Demon Hunt Squads probability of survival and letting them have a better chance to meet the standards, that they had these formidable Temple Knight of the seventh step to guide them for these three months. These three months were a period of assessment and also a period of refinement, and these ten Temple Knights headed by Gao Yingjie were all among the elites of elites in achieving favorable results. Long Haochen, thest person I have to speak of is you. In the previous battle, you were the one I was the most satisfied with among all of you, and the one I have the most expectations for. The Saint Spiritual Stove is among the best choices, but the fact that you possess one doesnt imply that you will be an outstanding knight for sure. In your capacity as the heart of the team, you did not renounce; you did not give up. You faced danger despite everything, using your firm defense to give yourpanions the opportunity to move forward. You did very well. Your position is at the center and at the front of the formation. When facing powerful foes, you will always be the first one to wee them. That is what a knight is. The ten great standards of a knight: modesty, honesty,passion, courage, fairness, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, charity, and justice, are the most crucial for a team. You will have tobine attack and defense as a whole, leading the whole team. You carry the most important duty, and each of your choices will decide the fate of your team. Chapter 167 - My Idiot! (I)

Chapter 167: My Idiot! (I)

Gao Yingjies resounding voice was very vigorous, each word piercing into the depths of Long Haochens mind like sharp needles, To knights, the words taking risks will never exist in the dictionary. Thats because you wont be fighting alone. Safety and stability will be the basic qualities you need to seek for, when making your choices. Right now, you need to reinforce your ability to judge and tomand. You have to grow to be a leader that can convince his own teammates, and for this, you will have a lot to do. This is pressuring, but also a force of motivation. In the next three months, I will not give the others any direction, but focus my guidance solely on you. If the others do anything wrong, you will have to correct them. The others course of action will be something that you will have to decide upon. Within three months, you will have to be a leader that meets the standards; a qualified captain. Starting from the instant you became the captain of the 1st soldier-grade Demon Hunt Squad, your life does not only belong to yourself anymore, but to the whole team. Simrly, every member of the team has handed their lives to you. This heavy responsibility will require you to continuously make great efforts in order to handle it properly. At this point, Gao Yingjies words became heavy, and the atmosphere in the carriage turned solemn ordingly. Everyones looks fell on Long Haochen. Long Haochen took a deep breath, slowly stretching his right hand forward. In a deep tone, he said, Never renounce! Never give up! I, Long Haochen hereby pledges: I will never abandon any of my teammates, I will use my life to defend the teams honor and keep each of you safe! My sword will be drawn before me for all of you, and my shield will be for blocking our most powerful enemies! GOOD!! Sima Xian shouted loudly. With a simple sound, his hand was ced on Long Haochens hand. Lin Xin and Han Yu also stretched their own hands forward, cing theirs above the other twos. Wang Yuanyuan pped hers down with force, stinging Lin Xins hand and causing him to grimace in pain. Chen Yinger nimbly ced her hand above Wang Yuanyuans, standing tall with her other hand pressed on her little chest, I will not drag everyone down neither. Caiers hand was discreetly stretched and pressed under Long Haochens palm. And at that moment, a huge w was also stretched forward, ced on Chen Yingers with a shriek. It was actually Haoyue. Chen Yinger stared fixedly at this fellow. But then, Haoyues three heads turned at the same time, his eyes looking up and down. That appearance was a lot more human-like than a lot of humans, making Chen Yingers heart beat up. Long Haochen said loudly, We are a team,rades that can entrust their backs to each others! The group spoke up in unison, Never renounce! Never give up! Woo woo! This was Hao Yues deration Looking at this scene, Gao Yingjie couldnt help but tighten his lips. He felt as if he hade back to that day, twenty years ago, when his own Demon Hunt Squad was established. But now, hispanions What Gao Yingjie didnt expect was that this group of youngsters would act in cohesion so quickly. Without a doubt, this truly was a good beginning. Uncle, Demon Hunt Squads are extremely interesting! I want to enter a Demon Hunt Squad too! Shi Xiaoxue looked at these youths, full of envy, and then murmured in Gao Yingjies ear. Gao Yingjie, who was originally already burning with anger towards her, immediately felt another surge of wrathing out from him and calmly declined Shi Xiaoxues request, Sit down. If you want to be a Demon Hunt Squad member, train well for now. Five yearster, you will have the opportunity. Shi Xiaoxues eyes lit up, Uncle, so whats your answer? Gao Yingjie looked at the carriage Lets speak of it in five years. Although the carriage carried so many people, including the heavy-weighted Haoyue, it was still advancing at a fast pace. Eightrge horses were pulling it with all their force until sunfall, resting only once an hour. They finally stopped at a medium sized city. After a day of travel, they had surprisingly already covered 250 kilometers. On the road, Long Haochens group was cultivating spiritual energy and the carriage was rather calm. Under the watch of Gao Yingjie, a true powerhouse, they naturally didnt waste time. Every time their spiritual energy increased, their chance of survival on the battlefield would increase as well. For this trip, this town was their first rest stop. When arriving before the hotel, they saw that they were next to nine other simr-looking carriages; the other newly-formed Demon Hunt Squads had obviously arrived earlier. The first advantage they held in their capacities as members of a Demon Hunt Squad could be seen. The aplishment point tile they had on their left arm enabled them to rest in any of the hotels in the Alliance for free. At the same time he informed them of this fact, Gao Yingjie also told them that, being a soldier grade of Demon Hunt Squad, they would also get a 10% discount in the auction houses. This preferential treatment would increase together with the grade of their Demon Hunt Squad. Demon Hunt Squads were the true elites of the Temple Alliance, which exined this treatment. After all, they frequently had to confront powerful enemies, so how could they not get some help to protect their lives better? Every person had a room to themselves, and after a simple meal, Gao Yingjie urged them to rest well after returning back to their own rooms. Long Haochen led Caier by the hand, seeing her off to her room, Caier, you too should be tired after this day of travel, go to rest early. Having said so, he was about to turn around and leave. With a flip of her wrist, Caier grabbed Long Haochens hand, her cane tapping on the ground, and closed the door to the room. Seeing what she did, Long Haochen instantly felt his heart beat faster, his handsome face starting to blush slightly. A boy and a girl all alone in a room, this situation in itself was a bit dubious. Please keep mepany for a bit, is that okay? Caier asked with a soft voice. How could Long Haochen refuse her request when she asks that way? Holding her hand, he replied, Alright. Holding each others hand, the two youths were seated on the sofa, their bodies drawing close to each other. Feeling beautiful and yet secluded charming from her, Long Haochens heart could not calm down in the slightest. In the carriage, although they were seated next to each other, there were also other people present. But now, they were only by themselves. Long Haochen couldnt help but loosen his hand that was holding Caiers waist. She didnt resist, on the contrary taking advantage of this to nestle against his shoulder. The two of them treasured this peaceful and warm moment. Although Long Haochens heart beat very fast and his face was heating up, this feeling was, to him, the most pleasant. He didnt feel the slightest dissatisfaction, simply holding Caiers waist even closer. Truly speaking, as only a fourteen year old, he basically did not know what he should do in these kinds of moments. Caier was his most precious treasure, so he would not attempt to do anything to her. After a long time, Caier moved a bit, sitting up straight, and asked, Haochen, what did great-grandfather tell you today? Mh? Long Haochen awoke from this quiet warmth, He said I had to take good care of you and protect you. Caier was slightly startled, Thats all? Long Haochen replied, He also said that I could do the same as you in the future and call him great-grandfather, and that you had a very hard life. Caiers whole body shook. Looking at Long Haochen right in the eye, she asked with some hope, Did he really say so? Thats right, what about it? Long Haochen gave her a puzzled look. In the next instant, he nced at Caiers, whose eyes were moist and her whole body shaking slightly. Seeing her in this appearance rose his passion even further. Long Haochen immediately felt a pain in his heart, hastingly pulling her to his bosom, Caier, dont cry. Whats wrong? Leaning against his warm bosom, Caiers body gradually stopped shaking. Slowly taking off the veil covering her face, she sticked it close to his chest, both of her arms surrounding his waist. Haochen, do you want to listen to my past? Caier asked. Long Haochen gently replied, As long as you are willing to tell it to me, I am willing to listen. Caiers voice was gentle and carried a bit of uneasiness, I am a person who had no childhood. In the eyes of the others from the Assassin Temple, I am a sort of princess. But if I had the choice, I would have preferred to live as an ordinary girl. The heritage of our Assassin Temple is not as simple as the one of your Knight Temple or the Warrior Temple at all; anyone has the possibility to learn how to be an assassin. The only requirement is to have extremely high perception and innate talent. Fostering an assassin is a lot harder than fostering a knight or a warrior; it requires one to exert a lot of physical and mental efforts. Thus, within the Assassin Temple, a secret training method was devised. It can be used on children around three years old to determine whether they have the innate cultivation talent or not. As long as their innate talent was not too mediocre, meeting at least the base requirement to be capable of bing a qualified assassin, they would be fostered by the Assassin Temple. It was the first time Long Haochen heard Caier speak so much. At that time, he was her only listener, gently holding her hand and listening to her story. At three years old, I was found to have an innate internal spiritual energy exceeding 90, making me the so called Saint Daughter of Samsara. Hearing her words, Long Haochen was immediately startled, but he didnt say anything, only listening to the continuation of her story. It was at that moment that my nightmare began. A trace of deep sadness appeared on Caiers beautiful face. As a three years-old child, I originally should have been pampered by my parents, ying without caring or worrying of anything. However, I was never with the children of my age. At the time I was only three years old, I was taken out by my great-grandfather to a dark and cold cave. There, I had no rtives, and even no food. Seven days out of seven, the only thing that apanied me was a ck dagger floating in the air. I cried, and I cried. I called out for my father, for my mother. But even when my voice had be hoarse, even when my tears had run dry, there was not the slightest reply. I felt cold. I was very scared. Even if I was only three years-old at that time, I can still remember everything clearly. No one came to save me, no one. I had to bear the cold and the fear, all alone Chapter 168 - My Idiot! (II)

Chapter 168: My Idiot! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales My consciousness gradually vanished, my senses dulled. At that time, I was a three year-old kid who didnt even know what despair was, but I felt like the inside of my body was as cold as that cave. I hate them! I hate great-grandfather, I hate father, I hate mother! I hate everyone! Why, why did they have to discard me in that kind of ce?! At this point, Caier was already bathed in tears. Long Haochen would never have expected that she would actually have this kind of experience. _To a three year-old kid, how painful and miserable was it? No wonder No wonder Caier is always so cold. Everything actually originated from that time._ Long Haochen only felt that his heart was in pain. He used force to embrace Caier, holding her closely. He wanted to transmit his bodys warmth to her, so as to influence her body and the ice in her heart. Caier simrly held him closer, her heart breaking out in fear and feeling as if she had just returned to that gloomy moist ce that was only cold and dark, to the extent that her fingernail were digging into the flesh of Long Haochens back, her body shaking over and over. For a long time she was unable to calm down at all. From that instant onwards, father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandfather, those were nothing more than names. I hate them, and will not regard them as rtives. For their selfishness, I hate them. Even if what they did was for the sake of the whole Temple Alliance. Did they Did they think about my feelings? Starting from that instant, I was no longer their rtive, but merely an ice-cold weapon, a weapon with the possibility of dealing more destruction than anything else. Caier spoke up once again, perhaps because of the warmthing from Long Haochens body or from the fact that a part of the ice in her had dissolved. Her bodys shivers gradually calmed down, but her voice was just as scornful as previously, filled with sadness and wrath. She kept these words in her heart for more than ten years already, and now that she was able to tell someone else everything she had kept suppressed, she felt that her heart was somewhat more peaceful. After seven days, seven entire days, as I was about to faint, I saw a ck figure appearing like a ball of fog and digging into my body. Consumed by despair, I sank into absolute solitude. Then, I lost all awareness of the surroundings. When I awoke from that ice-cold world, my family members were surrounding me with astonished faces. Then, I heard them speak of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara. At that moment, a ck lump and a dagger were put in my body. On that same day, I lost my sense of smell. Andter, I learned that, this time, I had lost consciousness for a total of two years. When I awoke, I was already five years old. Long Haochen breathed in astonishment, Was it the power you used the other day? Caier nodded lightly, Spiritual Stove of Samsara, ranked first among all spiritual stoves. Attack-type. Before me, a single person possessed it. That person belonged to a former generation of our Assassin Temple. Relying on this spiritual stove, he raided the Demon God Emperor, the first ranked demon god. In the end, that Scion of Samsara died by the hands of the Demon God Emperor, but thetter also died soon after and the next Demon God Emperor seeded him. During that time of crisis for the Alliance, that event managed to stall for some precious time. At that moment, Caier seemed to have calmed down, though her grip on Long Haochens body was still tight. The sensation of her bottom sitting on Long Haochens thigh made him almost forget the sadness he was feeling because of her. The Spiritual Stove of Samsara is extremely powerful. Especially with the divine artifact Dagger of Samsara, it has more killing power that you can even imagine. The Scion of Samsara that lived in those days, after having just reached the ninth step, had already confronted the Demon God Emperor whose internal spiritual energy was nearing 1,000,000 when his own internal spiritual energy had not even reached 200,000. Just by relying on the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara alone, he managed to drag this Demon God Emperor to the other side with him, bing the greatest hero of our Assassin Temple. However, cultivating the Spiritual Stove of Samsaraes with a tremendous cost. At this point, Caiers mood seemed a lot darker. To get the approval of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara, possessing the physique of Samsara is the first prerequisite. It requires an assassin to have an internal spiritual energy surpassing 90. Under the effects of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, my internal spiritual energy had even surpassed the peak level of 100. To fully use the real power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, in addition to endlessly training, the body is also subject to continuous trials which can go as far as to be called torture. From that day onwards, my five senses were disabled in turns. First, it was the sense of smell, the sense of hearing, and then the sense of taste. And in this process, the most horrible time was when I lost my sense of touch and couldnt feel anything. At that time, when I could neither feel or grasp anything, I could not even control my body and wasid down in a cold ce for two entire years before finally recovering. Then the most recent one I lost was the sense of sight. And because of that, I am currently blind. As she spoke, Caier withdrew her hand from Long Haochens back, softly fondling his face. Deep inside, Long Haochen was shaking. All along, he knew that his path of cultivation was not only reliant on his innate talent, but also on great effort. Butpared to Caiers experience, how much could his own efforts be worth? To achieve her present results, just how much torture did Caier have to endure!? Several times, I was close to being unable to stand it any longer. Particrly at that time and ce when I could not even move the slightest bit for two and a half years, I really had gone crazy. At that time, I no longer held any attachment to life. Having been tormented to such an extent was even worse than death! But when that thought appeared, the silhouette of a little idiot appeared in my heart. One without the slightest capability, but who protected me with his body and life. Facing an iparably powerful enemy, this idiot stepped forward bravely, willing to stake everything to protect me whom he had just met moments before. And it was precisely that fool that left a seed of warmth in me. With the warmth this seed brought me, I finally felt some longing for life, looking forward to the day Id be able to pay back that debt. It was that anticipation that helped me persevere. Every time I was unable to bear the Spiritual Stove of Samsaras aftereffects anymore, I would think of that idiot who said he would protect me at that time when I lost my voice together with my sense of taste. That idiot was you. That kind-hearted idiot. My idiot. At this point, tears flowed from Caiers eyes once again. The difference was that, this time, they werent tears of pain and sadness anymore, but these ones were only filled with warmth and happiness. Long Haochen replied nkly, You You were the little girl from that time? Caiers grief suddenly turned into happiness, You really are an idiot! If not for the fact that I recognized you, why would I have let you see me off on that day? Long Haochen waspletely surprised, But after we have grown up, I could not even recognize you! How is it that you recognized me? Caier softly stroked the forget-me-not ring on his hand, That day, you seemed to have put your weapon back into a ring. At the moment I was about to leave, I suddenly felt the energy fluctuationsing from the forget-me-not ring. I had been wearing it since I was young, so I am incredibly familiar in regard to it. Afterwards, it was to check if it really was this ring that I let you take my hand. Then, after I even asked what your name was, how could I not know that you were that idiot? For you to have wanted to help me, a blind girl you didnt even know, you are still as kind-hearted as before. So it was like that. I wondered why your attitude had changed so suddenly that day. Long Haochen came to a realization. Caier said serenely, I really didnt expect that I would get to see you so quickly. Originally, I wanted to ovee thest trial of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara before looking for you. I didnt know how much you would have changed, but still,I wanted to return the warmth you gave me that day. But you appeared before me so suddenly. Perhaps it was fate. Did you know? Those times were the happiest of my life. To wait every day for you to escort me, to walk on this short road, led along by you. The seed of warmth in my heart seemed to be sprout, and that day you said you would protect me for a lifetime, I knew that I was finally not alone anymore. As long as I could be by your side, I would have the feeling that I am actually a person and not a killing weapon. Of course you are not a weapon, you are a person. You are my Caier. Long Haochen held her tightly, as if afraid to lose her. Caier shut both eyes, still leaning on Long Haochens bosom and warmed up by his body. Her breathing gradually calmed down; she seemed to fall asleep in Long Haochens embrace. Curling up in Long Haochens bosom, she was sleeping peacefully, sparkling teardrops flowing down from her long eyshes, her pale face seemingly colored pink which signified warmth, and the corners of her mouth revealing a smile of satisfaction. She was deep asleep, to such an extent that she didnt even show the slightest reaction when Long Haochen gently lifted her up to the bed. After that, Long Haochen was nning on leaving but Caiers grip was tight, too tight. In the end, he was unwilling to leave her like that. Looking at her serene sleeping face, Long Haochen felt greatly at ease. He prudently pulled Caiers hand before taking her soft body in his arms and pulling the nket over her, thenid down by her side, with the nket separating the two of them This way, the two youths wouldnt have excessive body contact. He didnt want, in any way, to hurt Caier the slightest bit, even if it was just being embarrassed from when shed wake up. Caiers thirst for Long Haochens warmth had already surpassed his own attachment to training. He wanted to give her this warmth. Gently kissing her forehead, he dered, I will be your idiot forever. Authors note: When looking for a partner, one should look for evesting feelings, for gentle feelings, for straightforward feelings, for feelings that makes them willing tomit. This factor will forever remain more valuable than money. To me, the perfect situation is when a person has apanied the other throughout their growth. It doesnt depend on how much money that person can make, but in how that person can make your lives move forward, together, side by side. Chapter 169 - My Idiot! (III)

Chapter 169: My Idiot! (III)

Early morning, breakfast time. When Long Haochen and Caier arrived together in front of theirpanions, everyone, including Gao Yingjie, felt that something was off about the two of them. Although Caier was blind, a change could still be felt in the atmosphere. Only, because she was wearing her ck veil, no one could see the current expression on her face. The nine other newly formed Demon Hunt Squads were also eating in this same dining room. Later on, their journey was going to continue. Lin Xin whispered in Long Haochens ear in a low voice, Well done captain. You truly deserve to be called a young hero. Puzzled, Long Haochen replied, What? Lin Xin chuckled and exined to him, Last night, I went to your room looking for you, but there was no one there. It appears that you didnte back to your room for the whole night. Restrain yourselfyou should restrain yourself. Only then did Long Haochen understand the reason behind the look on hispanions faces, instantly dering embarrassedly, Its time to eat, lets hurry up. As he said so, he gave Caier a bowl of porridge, took some food for himself, and then started eating. Although Sima Xians expression was not as vulgar as Lin Xins, he was also giving Long Haochen bewildered nces while stealthily raising his thumbs up in Long Haochens direction. However, Long Haochen was eating with his head down, so he didnt see it at all. But when they were done eating and had climbed on the carriage again, Gao Yingjie went past Long Haochens side and let a little sentence slip out, Isnt this development a bit hurried? A change appeared on the corner of Long Haochens mouth, but in the end, he didnt exin what really had happened to the others. He couldnt bring himself to say, Actually, I havent done anything like that! And in fact, in the morning when Caier awoke from dreand at his side, she had secretly hugged him after feeling his uncovered body under the nket. And also in that early morning, Long Haochen already felt much more self-disciplined thanst night. To hold Caiers body with the nket between them was already a great test to his willpower. There was originally a lusty side on him, so toward hisrades mockery, he could only admit he wasnt totally innocent. Contrarily to expectations, Caier didnt appear the slightest bit bashful. Her shyness and her other hidden feelings were things she would only reveal to that idiot. From the eyes of the others, she was the same as before; an ice-cold youth and the best assassin of her generation. In the remaining ten days, the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squad members spent most of their time in the carriages, remaining inside from dawn to night while heading to the eastern border of the Alliance. Gao Yingjie did as he said he would, passing his experience onto Long Haochen on a daily basis. Although the one he was speaking to was Long Haochen, the others naturally got to listen to him. Ten days passed, and everyone felt like they had benefit a lot from the situation. At the same time, with the assistance of Lin Xins Spiritual Gathering Pills, the growth of Sima Xian and Chen Yingers internal spiritual energy was extremely fast. Naturally, Shi Xiaoxue wasnt able to benefit from such a treatment of receiving these Spiritual Gathering Pills as she was not a member of their Demon Hunt Squad. The cost of making these Spiritual Gathering Pills was too considerable. Within this short span of time, everyones position within the team was established with Long Haochen as the captain and Caier as the one with the main firepower. Lin Xin was in charge of financial matters and the two brutes, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan, didnt care much of these matters; they only cared about battling. Likewise, Chen Yinger was even more uninterested. Exorcist City, this was the most strategic town at the border area of the Temple Alliance. This town was almost built like a fortress, situated atop of a mountain range, and was between two huge mountains. The terrain made it appear like an unreachable fortress, extremely hard to attack. Exorcist City was also called Exorcist Mountain Range and could be described as a continuous mountain range which blocked the path of the demons and extended over a thousand miles, and was also known as the important mountain pass that symbolized the resistance of the Temple Alliance against the demon attacks from the east. In other words, in the case that the Exorcist City was to fall, the demon armies would be able to enter and march right into the territory of the Alliance. Thus, the Temple Alliance had a massive military force on standby there while, at the same time, the main headquarters of the Assassin Temple was also located there. This was the ce where Caier had grown up since young. And today at noon, the ten carriagesing from Holy City arrived at Exorcist City, and under the arrangements of the Assassin Temples, the ten newly formed Neer Demon Hunt Squads had been checked into a hotel in the east of the government office. Having already rested during the afternoon, the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads were led by their respective team captains to a conference hall after dinner. They had finally reached the location for their next mission. The ten Demon Hunt Squads were seated in ten rows, each Demon Hunt Squad captain seated in the first seat. Long Haochen was in the first row, and to back was Yang Wenzhao. Yang Wenzhao asionally turned his head to look at Chen Yinger, seated at the rear of the 1st Demon Hunt Squads seats, but Chen Yinger didnt look back at him, though she did asionally epass her surroundings with a few nces. Long Haochen was looking at Li Xin, who was on the second row, and greeted her with a hand gesture. Li Xin was the vice-captain of the 4th Soldier Demon Hunt Squad and had an extremely high position within her team. Ten Demon Hunt Squad captains were to be seated at the front row of seats, but two seats were still empty. Clearly, other people were still arriving. Footsteps sounded and everyone unconsciously turned their head to look outside the door to only see a man and a woman enter the conference hall with several bodyguards d in aplete martial attire. From their appearances, these two looked approximately thirty years-old. The man was d in ck military clothes bordered by a golden thread and carried a luxurious appearance; he had a slender build, a handsome appearance, a short purple-colored hair, and appeared to be full of vitality. His eyes glinted with coldness and pride. With a look as sharp as a spear, a biting cold atmosphere immediately filled the enormous conference hall as soon as he entered. By his side was a woman d in a blue-colored mage gown, her body surrounded by a rich water essence that was pulsing as if it was alive. She looked quite youngerpared to the man by her side, had light-blue-colored hair, and a picturesque facenaturally dazzling. Her charming eyes swept past the crowd, as if she was looking for someone in particr. Seeing this couple, Long Haochen couldnt help but stare nkly at them. He didnt know why, but in his heart, he held a somewhat familiar feeling toward them. Quickly, these two people arrived on the middle of the stage. The ten Temple Knights and leaders had stood up a while ago, and Gao Yingjie took the initiative to go up and wee them, greeting them politely. Eldest Brother Gao. From his voice, this man sounded somewhat excited as he went forward to give Gao Yingjie a big hug. The woman followed him and smiled at Gao Yingjie before remaining on the side. Hearing the voice of the man, seated behind Long Haochen, Caiers body shook slightly, but quickly recovered to normal, her face still as cold as usual. Gao Yingjie changed direction and looked at the group of youths, Let me introduce him to you, he is Sheng Lingxin. Mister Sheng is themander in chief of the Exorcist Military District and also the youngest assassin to have reached the step of Assassin King within the whole Alliance. Assassin King? That was an assassin of the seventh step. This mister Sheng only seemed to be about thirty years-old, could it be that he was already a powerhouse of the seventh step at such a young age? For a moment, the Six Great Temples selected talents couldnt help but stare at him, filled with admiration. Sheng Lingxin smiled faintly and said, Elder Brother Gao is exaggerating. I am thirty-seven years old this year, this cannot be counted as young anymore. You are the true young heroes. I hope that on this trip in the Exorcist Military District, in my Exorcist City, everybody will be able to show off their potential. Gao Yingjie happened to look at the woman, and at this moment, her gaze was focused in the crowd, a slight change appearing in her look. This look was filled with sadness, with longing, and with some other things. This person is the leader of the Exorcist Citys mage regiment and hall master of Exorcist City Auxiliary Mage Temple, the Magic Grandmaster Lan Yanyu. Sheng Lingxin lightly touched the dull-looking Lan Yan Yu. Only then did she react, nodding to everyone below. However, she didnt say anything, her look remaining the same from beginning to end. Long Haochen noticed this change because Lan Yanyus look was actually oriented in his direction. Is she looking at Caier? Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu sat on the seats in the middle of the tform, and Sheng Lingxin said in a deep tone, Wee to all of you in Exorcist City. Before assigning different missions to all of you, I will first present the current situation of the Exorcist Military District and the Exorcist City. I hope that when it is time for you to leave, you will be in a good enough shape toter return fully loaded with contribution points. The Exorcist Military District is in control of the whole area including the entire Exorcist Mountain Range. From north to south, it covers a continuous distance of 1,654 kilometers. The terrain of this mountain range extends vertically, making the overwhelming majority of the Exorcist Military District extremely hard to attack and enables us to block these demons. And because of this, the Alliance is stable and we are still alive. At the present time, the majority of the Exorcist Military District is supervised andmanded by our Assassin Temple with the assistance of the five other Great Temples. Including the major portions of those guarding the strategic locations of the Exorcist Mountain Range, our troops total 80,000 soldiers. Under the mainmand of the Alliances Headquarters, the Assassin Temple has pledged its life to resist the enemy with unwavering determination. From the time this dark era started 6,000 years ago, the Exorcist Military District and Exorcist City has gone through thousands upon thousands of attacks from the demons, but has never fallen. This ce is filled with the blood and the tears of countless of our elders whose lives were taken by the merciless demon invaders. Hearing Sheng Lingxins words, the ten Neer Demon Hunt Squads assassins, with the exception from Caier, all looked incredibly excited and proud. This Exorcist City was the holynd of assassins. To them, being able to partake in the battle here was in itself an enormous honor. The demons military offensive has already beenunched, fighting with our soldiers who have pledged their lives to the Alliance. You will be divided to ten military campsites to work in concert with our most basic infantry troops to learn how to act cooperatively. Among these troops, you will have no privileges of any kind, and killing enemies will not only bring you contribution points, but will also be the only way for you to be promoted within the army. The higher the amount of contribution points a team has, the more important the missions a team will receive Within the span of three months, whichever level you will reach will depend on your own efforts. You have to keep in mind that, in case any of the members of your team dies, your Demon Hunt Squad will be dissolved and your contribution points will be taken back. On the battlefield, individual power will forever remain insignificant; cooperating as a team is the only way to survive. Chapter 170 - ‘Night Battle’ in the Mountain Pass (I)

Chapter 170: Night Battle in the Mountain Pass (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The conferencested a short duration. After Sheng Lingxins little speech was over, ten officers came in from outside. They were the ten infantry battalionmanders, each of them leading a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad to the barracks. Naturally, they would not waste any time as the neers had already arrived. Her eyes glued on Long Haochen, Caier left together with her 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. Lan Yanyu, controlled by her emotions, wanted to stand up to chase after her, but was stopped by Sheng Lingxin. Thetter shook his head with a solemn face and Lan Yanyus beautiful eyes immediately turned moist. Long Haochens group was assigned to the first infantry battalion. The battalionmander was a middle aged man with an external appearance somewhat resembling that of Gao Yingjies. All of you are amongst the Alliances elites. I feel deeply honored by the fact that you have, even if it is only temporarily, joined my battalion. I am the battalionmander of the first battalion, Zhang Hairong. Exiting the conference room, thismander of the first battalion simultaneously led the group to the barracks while introducing himself. The responsibility of social interaction naturally fell upon Long Haochen. Faintlyughing, he said: Battalion Commander Zhang, you are too modest. The soldiers of Exorcist City are all heroes who guard the nation, and it is more urate to say that it is our honor to be able to enter the 1st Battalion. From now onwards, we will be a group of soldiers under yourmand. As the representative of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, I guarantee you that, although we are not soldiers, we will obey strictly to each of your orders. Hearing Long Haochens deration, Zhang Hairong feltfortable deep inside. He really didnt expect that this ten or so years-old youth would actually act in such a suitable manner. Demon Hunt Squads were something every soldier from the Temple Alliance yearned to be a part of, but Zhang Hairong wasnt really too interested in temporarily adding one of them to his troops. Even if these proud and talented youngsters had all at least reached the fourth step of cultivation, would they actually obey orders? In fact, Zhang Hairong was a mere warrior of the fourth step himself. In the case that these young talents didnt listen to his orders on the battlefield and started acting of their own ord, they would not only be of little use, but would also likely bring them a lot of trouble. Although Sheng Lingxin said that these Demon Hunt Squads elites had to be treated like average soldiers, could they really do so? Each one of these Demon Hunt Squads were made up of the favorites of the Alliance, and if harm was to evere to them, they would possibly be unable to bear the consequences. Furthermore, Sheng Lingxin had told these battalionmanders in private some time ago that, no matter what circumstances, their foremost priority was to guarantee the safety of these young talents. In particr, when Zhang Hairong had seen this group that formed the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad for the first time, he felt even more disappointed. Among them, aside from the bald one who seemed a little older, it looked as if none of them were above twenty years old. And from the looks of it, the younger ones werent even eighteen! Only heavens knew how they became Demon Hunt Squad members. To have this privilege at such a young age was not necessarily a good thing; they would most likely be extremely arrogant upon arriving. But when he felt worried over this, Long Haochens words melt those worries, those sentiments of unease, like a cup of hot tea. To a soldier, the most important thing was to listen to his superiorsmand. The words of the young captain Long Haochen were not only formted politely, but also immediately settled the unease within him. Zhang Hairong immediately felt at great ease, and at the same time, could not help but feel full of praise, _Hes indeed worthy of being called a young talent! What great awareness!_ Long Haochens deration was naturally not something he came up with by himself. Yesterday, Gao Yingjie warned him again and again on how to act when entering the army, and at the same time, told him what a soldiers most important duties were. Although even without Gao Yingjies repeated warnings, Long Haochen would still have behaved correctly. With this deration he just conveyed, it would undoubtedly be even easier for this new team to blend in with the soldiers. Zhang Hairongughed out loudly and responded, Captain Long, you are too modest. With a vulgar old man such as me, politeness is not needed. From now onwards, your group will act as new soldiers. Your duty will be to follow me in assaulting the enemy. Sima Xian could not restrain himself from asking, Battalionmander, will we get to fight in the front by your side? Zhang Hairong straightened up his own chest, formed a fist, and ced it on his chest, Youre right to ask about this. The battalion under mymand does not have a single coward in it. My sworn brothers and I will be staking our lives together with you, acting in the most suitable way for a soldier to act. You may be at ease; by my side, you will always be fighting in the frontlines, facing the most powerful enemies. At this point, everyone could only feelplete respect for this man. Zhang Hairongs implication was very clear. On the battlefield, he would be at the very front. If themander of the battalion, the one whomands a thousand soldiers, was assaulting the enemy in the front, how could the officers and soldiers not follow him? Yes. Long Haochen performed a salute toward Zhang Hairong. Within the army, a salute was not a very standard way to show respect. Of course, a knight salute was even more unstandard. The infantry battalions were located close to the city. With the great threat that was the demon race, the military power had to be robust. In the case that a battle was to break out right in front of the poption, they would have no chance at survival. Thus, since long ago, the humans have been attaching great importance to the defenses, and the most important part of these defenses is naturally the infantry. Zhang Hairong assigned them to a living quarter that amodated ten people, though boys and girls living together there seemed a bit indecent. Because of the distinction of genders made within Demon Hunt Squads, the standard equipment wasnt given to them, but everyone had only a set of clean military clothes. There werent any uniforms for females, though Wang Yuanyuan wasnt too bothered by it because she had a tall build which could be said to be a match for men. However, the uniforms were too baggy when worn by Caier and Chen Yinger, making everyone have a hard time holding back theirughter. At that moment, Chen Yinger revealed another side of hers. This girl had actually taken a set of needles and threads with her, cutting up her uniform together with Caiers and sewing it anew. And after only half an hour of work, the two girls uniforms fit them closely. I didnt expect that you would have such a move up your sleeves, Yinger. Its no wonder that Yang Wenzhao is so conscious of you. Lin Xin said with some surprise. Chen Yinger dered with pride, Now is the time for thisdys story toe to an end. Dont associate me with that Yang Wenzhao, Im not in the mood to hear his name. Lin Xin chuckled and said at his turn, Okay, okay, Im not digging any further in this matter. Come, its drug time, drug time. As he said so, a few porcin bottles appeared in his hand; there were actually two bottles per person. Sima Xian gave him a thumbs up, That big bro has drugs really was no exaggeration; this is indeed quite impressive. What are these things this time? Lin Xinughed out faintly and dered, In the white bottles are Spiritual Replenishment Pills, once again named by Haochen. In the yellow bottles are Energy Pills. The Spiritual Replenishment Pills will recover 200 spiritual energy within a short time, approximately five to ten seconds. Everyones replenishment speed is not the same, so calcte it by yourself the first time you take one. As for the Energy Pill, it can increase your external spiritual energy by 500 units and it will persist for the duration of twenty breathes. After I improved these ones, their effects are now even better! The shame is that I dont have the material for Spiritual Bursting Pills, otherwise, I would have made some more of those things for you. Long Haochen told him, You already gave me some Spritual Bursting Pillsst time so theres no need for me. I still have ten of them left, lets divide it out to everyone. With an equal share of it, our chances of survival will be a little better. However, this time, Lin Xin had emptied a great deal of his hard-earned savings. There were a total of thirty of the Spiritual Replenishment Pills and the so called Energy Pills. Further adding the Spiritual Bursting Pill that Long Haochen split with his teammates, the other newly formed Demon Hunt Squads could not possiblypare with them in terms of the quality of the supplemental items. Han Yu chuckled, Who said not having a priest wont do? The utility of an alchemist like Brother Lin is even greater than that of a priests. Lin Xin grimaced, Big bro has drugs! This catch phrase of mine is naturally no empty words. Brother Han, Im counting on you to watch out for my back. Dont let the enemiese from behind and burst my chrysanthemum! Wang Yuanyuan opened her both eyes wide, Brother Has-Drugs, your words are so civilized! Aight, aight. Lin Xin stood up, stretching up his body, Im off to wash my handsome face. A?, every time I need to go find someone to worship, I just have to take a look at the mirror. Pooh, truly shameless. Wang Yuanyuan felt truly amused by his words. The living quarters were verymonly built; there were ten beds and very simple cabs beside each of them. Without a doubt, males were to go to one side, and females to the other. Although Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger were unsatisfied sharing a room, they had to calmly bear it as it would onlyst for a short duration of three months. While neatly ordering their own beds, everyone got to see a stupefying scene. Caier put her bamboo cane in a small crack on the bedside and pushed her bed to the side of Long Haochens bed. Although she was blind, the two beds were neatly joined together. _Tcheh Doing that right in front of so many people It is just too brazen._ Let alone the others, even though Long Haochen loved Caier deeply, he could still not help but feel embarrassed in such a situation and blushed, not knowing how he should act in these kinds of moments. Sima Xian looked at Han Yu on the other side and said in a low voice, It cant be. Dont tell me captain and vice-captain are going to do it in public tonight? Caier touched the bed that she had merged together, and after thinking deeply for a short time, proceeded to go before another bed. With a swing of her bamboo cane, a sharp glint shone and the wooden bed instantly turned into several wooden boards. With a sweep of her cane, these wooden boards merged with their own bed. Once again, Caiers speed astonished everyone. All they could see was a glint and an afterimage before the wooden boards surprisingly fell on the side of their bed, encircling their two beds that was merged together. Although the living quarters floor was not too hard, to produce a two meters long and two-thirds of a meterrge board from it was just astonishing. Furthermore, it was cut very neatly like a piece of art that came from pure craftsmanship. For her to have aplished such a feat without the use of her eyes, how great was her perception? The bedding next to the bed that Caier destroyed was now being carried by her. Having already understood what she nned on doing, Long Haochen said in haste, Let me help you. Caier shook her head and said, I can handle this by myself. 1. refers to a someones anus in Chinese. Chapter 171 - ‘Night Battle’ in the Mountain Pass (II)

Chapter 171: Night Battle in the Mountain Pass (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Quickly, these beddings were turned into cloth sheet, acting as curtains hanging on the two sides of the bed. From outside, the interior of these curtains could not be seen at all. At this time, Lin Xin had just returned from washing his face, and regrouped with the others to stand there ck jawed in astonishment. Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger shared a nce, and abruptly jumped up, hastily pulling two other empty beds together. Clearly, these twodies wanted to learn from Caiers example. After all, they were girls who, unlike guys, emphasized more on privacy. Caiers demonstration no doubt reminded them of that. Afterpleting everything, Caier returned to Long Haochens side and pulled his hand, saying a sentence that nearly brought Long Haochen to tears. This is our home now. Long Haochens original shyness and embarrassmentpletely vanished, and as if he had totally forgotten about the others present, he pulled Caier into his embrace in a single move. Added up, the two simple wooden beds upied a space of four square meters. With the addition of a few wooden sticks and rags surrounding them, this was their first home. Although it was simple and crude, Long Haochen could see that Caier was very happy of it. From the shape that her brows had taken, satisfaction and happiness was clearly written across her face. Caier wasnt too demanding; all she wanted was to have a home. Even if it was even more simple than this home, as long as she could be together with the one she loved, she would already be very satisfied. Caier, I promise you. From now on, I will definitely give you a warm home; it will be our home. Caier cuddled her head near his shoulder and answered with a soft yeah. Lin Xin, Sima Xian, and Han Yus faces were dripping with envy. Long Hao Chen was the youngest male in the squad, yet he already had a considerably close female friend. Their rtionship truly aroused other peoples jealousy. Feeling everyones gazes, Long Haochen lifted his head and looked at them with his red face, saying, A moment ago, Battalion Commander Zhang said that we could be called to battle at anytime. For now, everyone should use their time wisely and rest a bit. As he said this, he hugged Caier and directly entered into the canopy, into their home With any other person, based on their personalities, Lin Xin and Sima Xian wouldve definitely started teasing. However, they truly did not dare do so with Long Haochen. Long Haochen wasnt really the issue, but they really did not want to have Caiers murderous killing intent directed at them. Anybody could see that only Long Haochen upied her heart, and that she did not care much about anything beyond him. Hey, you guys still arenting over to help? Chen Yinger waved her hands towards Sima Xian and Han Yu. She was only a summoner, and to have pushed the bed over was already pretty good from her. Sima Xuan chuckled and said, Little Sister Yinger, Let me help you. Chen Yinger hastily shook her head as she replied, Never mind, Ill just have Big Brother Han Yue help me. Once that big metal stick of yours swings down, the bed is just going to crack. How can it be used to support anything? Dark veins popped out on Sima Xians head, What are you calling a big metal stick? This thing of mine is a magic staff. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue, Ask everyone here, who would think of that as a staff? Han Yu walked over with a slight smile on his face and drew out his heavy sword, getting to work helping Chen Yinger. Long Haochen was together with Caier on their bed, with thetter nestling against his bosom, her eyespletely shut. Because of what she experienced as a child, Caier had grown with a contrasting personality, fundamentally different from the other youths; she didnt care what others thought of her at all. To her, that day when she fell asleep on Long Haochens bosom was the sweetest night she had ever had since she was three years-old. Sleeping under his warm embrace, Caier rested without being woken up by a nightmare or a chilling from the depths of her heart. Although it happened only once, she really liked this warm and cosy feeling she had at that moment. At least, the time when she was nestling against his bosom while listening to his heartbeat was the most blessed moment Caier could think of. But on the rest of their hastened journey, because Long Haochen was afraid of doing something obscene to her or that hisrades would be discontented, he never shared a room with her again. In these living quarters for ten people, Caier could not hold her expectation for this warmth anymore, thus taking the initiating of setting up this temporary home. This was a small home, but to her, it was far enough. Nestling against Long Haochens bosom, she pulled down the veil covering her little face, revealing a satisfied expression. Toc, toc toc. The door could be heard being knocked. Whos it!? Sima Xian shouted out this question loudly. Hello, I am looking for Caier. From outside, a gentle and excited; though somewhat muffled, voice was heard. Hearing this voice, Caier who was previously lying down on Long Haochens bosom was shaken, slowly opening her both eyes. Wrinkling her eyebrows, from the looks of it, she didnt like the holder of this voice at all. Sima Xian opened the door of his room. A single person was waiting outside; it was that mage regimentmander they had seen previously in the conference hall, the Hall Master of the Mage Temple of Exorcist City, Lan Yanyu. Hall Master Lan? After nking out for a little instant, Sima Xian hastingly paid respect to her. Lan Yanyu revealed a reluctant smile, inquiring, Is Caier there? I am looking for her. Sima Xian nodded before hurriedly opening up a path, replying, There, please enter. Thank you. Lan Yanyu entered these living quarters. Standing there, she couldnt directly see Caier. Her path of view was naturally obstructed by the sort of curtains formed with the bedclothes cloth, acting as a frame. Please return, I am resting right now. Caiers cold voice was transmitted from the bed. Long Haochen, whose bosom was still pressed against her, could see the tant hostility that came out from her body, forming a chill in the nearby air. Lan Yanyu revealed a distressed look, hurrying to her bedside, Caier, mommy just wants to take a little look at you! Mommy? Hearing that, the others couldnt help but look absolutely shocked. This Mage Temple Hall Master of Exorcist City was actually Caiers very own mother! Theres no need, you should have already seen me a little earlier, in the conference hall. Please return. As before, Caiers voice was very cold and severe. Caier, dont be like that. Long Haochen said in a low voice. As a pure boy with filial piety, seeing that Caier had a such cold rtionship with her own mother, he found it hard to take, and couldnt help but let this remark slip. But this careless remark was naturally heard by Lan Yanyu, who was still standing outside. Immediately, herplexion changed greatly. With a stretch of hand, she lifted up the cloth curtains in front of her, happening to see Caier, who was leaning on Long Haochens body. You You two Lan Yanyu waspletely stupefied, her eyes immediately brimming with hot anger. Caier sat straight, and coldly asked, What about us? Lan Yanyu spoke out with both rm and wrath, How can you act like this? You are still just a kid. Dense magic ripples immediately burst forth from her, her killing intent immediately locking on Long Haochen. Caier was still only fourteen years-old; when seeing her daughter in the same bed as a man in such circumstances, any other mother wouldnt be able to bear watching it. Caiersplexion changed, taking her veil to put it to her face. In a sh, a silhouette went down from the bed, getting in the way of Lan Yanyu. Who allowed you to meddle in my affairs? This is the army camp and you are not a military officer, you have absolutely no authority, there. Please leave. At that moment, Long Haochen had also gone down from the bed, and pulling Caiers hand, said in a low voice, Caier, dont be like that. Aunty hase specially to see you. Lan Yanyu glowered at Long Haochen, We dont need you to here to act like a nice guy. You You dared take advantage from my daughter like that?! I am going to kill you. Rapidly, the temperature of the whole room plummeted, and with a lift of Lan Yanyus hand, a sharp ice cone flew out, aiming at Long Haochen. With a sh of ck light, dense killing intent instantly bursted forth from Caiers body. Then, the ice cone shattered, turning into ice powder scattering in the air. In Caiers right hand, a dark golden dagger instantly appeared, and in a sh, she arrived before Lan Yanyu. The sharp dagger was directly pointed to Lan Yanyus chest, apanied with a voice that seemed as cold as winter. If you dare touch him, Ill immediately kill you. Looking at the very near dark golden dagger, Lan Yanyu could only stare nkly, Caier, I am your mother, you know!? Caier smiled coldly, Mother? Where were you at that time, when great-grandfather threw me in that cold cave? In the year of my three years-old, my father and my mother already stopped existing. I have a single dear person, and thats him. Ill kill whoever tries to harm him. The wrath on Lan Yanyus face disappeared in an instant, and was reced by extreme bitterness, with pale color. Caier, dont tell me that in your heart, I am really just a stranger? Caier coldly spoke, A stranger? When I was in great danger, despite not knowing me, he sheltered me from danger, protecting me with his own body. Facing an enemy he could not possiblypare to, he still protected me without the slightest hesitation. And he said that he would protect me for a lifetime. As for you? What have you done for me? I am this year fourteen, and in my memories are only training, training, coldness and pain. When I could not budge at all and had to stay lying down for two entire years, where were you? Dont tell me that you were doing that for the sake of the Alliance, and so on, I dont understand the righteousness of your cause. All I know is that when I wanted to give up on life and part from this world forever, he was the one who recalled to my heart what warmth was, helping me to preserve ast bit of hope. Leave. Dont ever show up in my presence again. I have already decided to cut all ties with you. Having heard such heartless words, Lan Yanyu stumbled two steps back, tears crazily falling down from her beautiful eyes. Looking at the ice-cold stubborn Caier ast time, she violently turned around and dashed out. Long Haochen could feel that Caiers body was shaking. How could she not be moved emotionally, right now? That person was after all her mother! After having spoken out such heartless words, could she possibly feel good? Lightly grabbing her soft body, Long Haochen didnt know what to say, and could only warm her up with his own body. Caier murmured to him, I will not cry for her sake, I have already cried far enough for her. I am a parentless child, I am just a parentless child. Perhaps the others felt that Caier was a bit extreme, but everyone could imagine the kind of feelings she had when she was unable to hear, see, or move, but had to stay conscious for many years. What kind of torment could it be, to say nothing of how young Caier was at that time? Chapter 172 - ‘Night Battle’ in the Mountain Pass (III)

Chapter 172: Night Battle in the Mountain Pass (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Having said so, she slowly turned around, tightly drawing herself towards Haochen. Her delicate face rested on his bosom; her body was at that moment trembling violently. Long Haochen held her tightly, feeling extreme pain too. Ever since he learned about Caiers past, he cherished her even more deeply. _Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang_ Continuous ear-piercing metallic sounds were heard from outside. Immediately, even louder sounds came in, producing tremors of noise. Han Yu eximed, Its an army gathering! Everyone couldnt help but look at Long Haochen and Sima Xian suggested, Captain, vice-captain Caier looks like she is a bit unstable. How about you two dont go? That wont do! Long Haochen had a serious look, I promisedmander Zhang that I would obey any order. We are now soldiers; how can we not participate to a march. I will protect Caier, lets go. Caier also stood straight, grabbing her cane. Her face seemed to regain its calmness after a short time, I am all right. Lets go. Go. Long Haochen looked down, once again grabbing her hand before lightly putting his hand on her forehand, saying in a low voice, No matter what and when, you will have me. Even if it is only for my sake, you have to live properly. All I hope for is to see my Caier joyful and happy. Yeah. Caier nodded lightly, taking the initiative to grab Long Haochens hand. Lets leave. Long Haochen called out for hisrades before quickly rushing out, still holding Caiers hand. Outside of the living quarters, a group of soldiers were rushing at high pace, these officers asionally shouting out. Standing in a space in front of the living quarters, Zhang Hairong was stationed in front of the living quarters. At this time, he was already d in martial attire, wearing heavy te armor over it, and each of his hands holding a battle-ax. With this awe-inspiring appearance, he was looking at these soldiers rushing to him. Long Haochen hastily led hisrades, running towards Zhang Hairongs direction, and performing an army salute before him, Battalionmander, our group of seven soldiers is reporting to you. In a situation of war, the current Zhang Hairong didnt have his previous modest attitude, and said coldly, Stand in formation behind me, and follow me in attacking the enemy. Yes. Long Haochen gave his reply, taking hisrades to stand behind Zhang Hairong. Among the seven of them, some were tall, some were shorter, and above all, three of them were girls who all looked so young, immediately attracting the soldiers attention. In particr, the group of soldiers standing ahead of them asionally cast some curious looks. Newly formed Demon Hunt Squadsing to Exorcist City to carry out their duty and undergo test was a highly ssified secret, not something these low level soldiers could possibly be qualified to know. Quickly, all soldiers were gathered; although the sky was already dark, the battle formation was still quite neat, done without any rush. The warriors weapons looked in and simple, all worn out from having been used for a long time. And in addition to their military uniform, they also had leather armor. The officers were all wearing the same generic armor; only Zhang Hairong had a te armor. A momentter, the soldiers finished assembling, and Zhang Hairong dered, Brothers, these days, the attacks of these minor demon soldiers are especially fierce; thus, well have to head to the battlefield today, though it is earlier than expected. This uncle will not say much more, only that if some of you dont face this reality, the honor of this battalion will fall because of it. In that case, dont me my pair of axes for being unable to tell people apart. Now, we shall depart. Kill! Kill! Kill! The group of soldier lifted up their weapons, shouting these three words under the astonished look of Long Haochens group of seven before immediately departing, heading hurriedly to the border. Zhang Hairong didnt say much, but from this scene, it could be clearly seen that he hadplete control of these troops. These soldiers were clearly not going to the battlefield for the first time. The majority of them had external spiritual energies of warriors between the first and the second step, but their frantic fighting spirit could immediately be sensed by Long Haochens group of seven, apanied by a bloody aura. Zhang Hairong led them in the front, carrying a pair of axes, followed by Long Haochens group of seven. By now, everyone in the squad remembered the formation perfectly. Long Haochen was at the front, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian on the left and the right side respectively, Han Yu was in the rear. In the center were Caier, Chen Yinger and Lin Xin in his capacity as a mage. Although Chen Yinger and Lin Xin were respectively a summoner and a mage, their bodies were enhanced by their spiritual energy, making them no weaker than average warriors between the first and the second step. Thus, no one had any problem keeping up with the others. Soon, they arrived at the border of Exorcist City under Zhang Hairongs lead, where they could see this imposing wall up close. Havinge to this Exorcist Mountain Range for the first time and seeing these tremendous defenses, Long Haochen inwardly felt astonished; the walls were just too high. And although he couldnt see from there that these walls were more than a hundred meters thick, just looking at them, he already had a distinct feeling of thickness. Ear-splitting shouts, screams, collisions and metallic sounds rang continuously around them. Having finally gotten to the battlefield for the first time, Long Haochen felt a great deal of excitement in the middle of his nervousness. Quickly, Zhang Hairong had led them in the border of the city. Carrying his two battle-axes in his left hand, Zhang Hairong asked a soldier they met on their way, Where is your battalionmander? The soldier replied in a loud voice, He is at the border, resisting the enemy. Zhang Hairongughed out loudly, Truly courageous! Go and tell your battalionmander that our 1st batallion has arrived to switch with you. Let your brothers have a little rest, and let us handle the lives of these demon soldiers. Brothers of my 1st battalion, follow me! Saying so, this intrepid man charged with big strides to the front. In their capacity as soldiers, Long Haochens group of seven didnt dare ck off, following Zhang Hairong forward at his pace. At this time, they were stepping on the battlefield for the first time, but didnt have the time to observe the surroundings. At the same time, a stunning scene unfolded; the blood within their bodies was boiling crazily. Outside of the over hundred meter thick walls, a great amount of supplies were stacked up. Apanying the unceasing yells, blood continuously flowed out at the forefront of the battlefield, and the number of killing shouts increased ordingly. Zhang Hairong was rushing ahead, when suddenly, a roughly 1.5 meter tall Zelin Dual ded Demon arrived, brandishing its two sharp ded limbs toward one of the soldier defending the city. Zhang Hairong howled furiously and with thundering sounds, shot up forward using his left foot as support, his pair of axes shing forward. With a _pu_ sound, that Zelin Dual ded Demon broke into pieces. That soldier who was just saved by him had been soaked in blood since long ago. Turning around to look at Zhang Hairong, he directed a thumbs up to him before swaying his body, sitting on the ground. You may go to rest, brothers from the 6th battalion, let us handle the rest of the defense., said Zhang Hairong before shouting out loudly, his pair of huge axes in full swing, rushing forward like a meat grinder, jumping up at the approaching demons, swinging while aiming at their heads. The soldiers of the 1st battalion rapidly headed before the important locations of the city walls, a part of them resisting the enemies, while another part was assisting the 6th battalion in evacuating the wounded. The whole process was performed in a neat and organized fashion. With specialized medical personnel helping the injured, the front relief took less than twenty breaths to be done. Zhang Hairong suddenly felt his whole body heating up, his fighting spirit rising and the spiritual energy in his body bing even fiercer. Bowing his head, he discovered that a white light was rippling on his whole body. Long Haochen arrived at his side, d in his entire Holy Spirit Set, his body distributing this white radiance. It wasnt only him; all the members of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad had made their preparations for battle. Standing at Zhang Hairongs side, Long Haochen looked at the outside of the city. He could see that demons were omnipresent, surrounding it from all sides. And the main part of the enemy forces was made up of Zelin Dual ded Demons. A great number of Dual ded Demons were unceasingly trying to climb up above the walls, relying on their sharp arms. The nearby soldiers relied on rocks and mes to do their utmost to defend it. These demon armies were impossible to count with a single nce; even when a great amount of Dual ded Demons were smashed down, these demons still kept attacking. As long as their cores werent crushed, they would stand up and keep attacking almost immediately. An intense war was being waged in the outside of the city. Chopping a Dual ded Demons head off, Zhang Hairong asked Long Haochen, Youre a Guardian Knight? Long Haochen nodded in confirmation. Zhang Hairong said, Regardless of your vocation, follow me in killing the enemy. The more we kill the better it is. Yes. Long Haochen turned around to look at his teammates, Wang Yuanyuan, protect Yinger. Sima Xian, protect Lin Xin. Han Yu, take care of healing and harmonizing. We have to battle side by side. Protecting the city wasnt all about rushing forward: naturally, they werent in position to do that. It was a battle between their troops and the enemys. A smooth golden mist was produced, undting around Long Haochen. Eight golden symbols were rapidly spread around, enveloping an approximately 20 meter diameter. Immediately, the golden mist surrounded everyones body; it looked a bit like when a knight was using the ability Storing Power. This was the first of the Guardian Knight abilities Long Haochen had chosen back in the Alliances Treasure Vault, Spiritual Gathering Halo. It consumed his own spiritual energy to increase the recovery rate of his mates spiritual energy by 30%. At this moment, Long Haochen was disying his formidable support capabilities. Spiritual Gathering Halo plus Holy Spirit Halo, in addition to Guardians Favor, were unleashed. These three halo-type abilities instantly strengthened the whole team. At the same time, he pointed the Holy Spirit Sword forward, tracing ten lines of white light, and the nearby Dual ded Demons were instantly shaken, and they fell down. Having gotten Long Haochens assist, Sima Xian shouted out loudly, KILLC The staff on his hand was waved just like a dark coiling dragon, and without making use of any ability, his formidable physical power erupted. With each chop of his staff, the head of a Dual ded Demon was blown up and turned into mincemeat. Wang Yuanyuans valor was even greater than Sima Xians. This girl directly jumped up on the city walls, and waving her Divine Soul Shield, she swept it all around. Rapidly, no other Dual ded Demon was left in their direction. Having just relieved the 6th battalion, Zhang Hairong was still enjoying himself with his two battle-axes. But after the time of a few breaths, he discovered that there was already no more pressure. That although two or three little kittens were asionally approaching from the front, the enemies on the left and the right had already all been taken care of by Long Haochens group. After a little more than twenty seconds, this area was alreadypletely clean. Chapter 173 - A Beginning of Tacit Understanding (I)

Chapter 173: A Beginning of Tacit Understanding (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Standing behind and making their preparations, the soldiers stared at these mad youngsters of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. Completely stupefied, they just didnt know what to do. For how long are you going to keep watching? Hurry up and do your job as reinforcements. Zhang Hairong scolded them, but he was also secretly dumbstruck. They truly deserved to be called elites from Demon Hunt Squads; it should be their first time in the battlefield, but these youngsters didnt have stage fright, and immediately joined the battle. _How is it that I remember that this bald man was originally d in priest gown? Can he still called a priest? And that shield warriordy, isnt her shield a bit too huge? And looking at how shes wielding it, it is simply closer to a super-huge axe._ In a radius of twenty meters around them, Long Haochen, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan had already confronted all the enemies. Her cane tapping on the ground, Caier silently stood behind Long Haochen. Her senses were all operating, feeling everything that was taking ce in the surroundings. Han Yu didnt stay idle either; havingpleted the summoning of his Demonic Eye, a red glow was spread around its eyes, continuously sweeping its surrounding. It was precisely the ability Eyes of Truth. Their team didnt have a true priest, so they could only rely on this Demonic Eye to use the ability Eyes of Truth. This was something they couldnt do anything about. However, the range of this Demonic Eyes Eyes of Truth was still in no way small. In a straight line, it could already cover a hundred meters, while in the left and the right, a diameter of 200 meters was covered by the range of these Eyes of Truth. The main point of it was to protect them from the invisible and underground demons, strong atunching sneak attacks. Han Yu and Lin Xin were both investing themselves in the battle, but their roles was not to kill the enemy directly. Bright radiances were continuously released from the golden sword in Han Yus hand, urately falling on the wounded soldiers lying on the ground. He was using the most basic healing skill used by Guardian Knights, Healing Light. Its consumption of spiritual energy was very little, so with the support of Long Haochens Spiritual Gathering Halo, he could maintain his spiritual energy at its max. Although Healing Light couldnt treat heavy wounds, it could still weaken the pain, slowly starting the treatment while getting rid of any kind of ordinary poison. And the light attribute was also the best one at restraining demons. With the support of Healing Light, the fighting strength of the soldiers of the 1st Battalion on the two sides was immediately enhanced greatly. While this side was taken care of by Han Yu, Lin Xin was disying his own talents, helping his side by providing breathtaking support. Waving the Fire Cloud Crystal Staff, red lumps of light were dispersed, each one forming a fireball and falling urately on a soldier of the 1st Battalion. The red lights then condensed and formed zing armors. When the Zelin ns Dual ded Demons attacked these soldiers, upon approaching within one meter from them, they would instantly be burned. This was the ability called zing Armor, a defensive skill about the same as the knights Divine Light Mantle, but with in addition an offensive burning effect, affecting the nearby enemies. It was a spell of the second step. Although the consumption of spiritual energy of this spell wasnt high, itsted only for thirty seconds, and was a single-target spell. Still, the Zelin werepletely overwhelmed by it. Little lumps of red light were fired in quick session from his Fire Cloud Crystal Staff, and zing mes rapidly ignited the soldiers bodies. Not only did it increase these soldiers survivability, it also increased their damage power enormously. At this time, Lin Xin was already looking after fifty of these soldiers. Naturally, Chen Yingers course of action was just as usual. Closely behind Wang Yuanyuans back, she sang her incantation melodiously, sping the water crystal ball in her hand that was distributing a gentle radiance. The soldiers in the 1st Battalion could not possibly guess that in the past, this harmless looking little girl had actually summoned formidable magical beasts of the eighth step, like a Demonic Eye Ruler or a Three Headed Helldog. Currently, only Dual ded Demons were besieging the city, relying mainly on their great numerical superiority. Although their climbing capability was quite great, in the front of the powerhouses of the fourth and fifth step of Long Haochens group, they were simply sliced like vegetables. Long Haochens seven were jointly attacking and providing support, fully taking care of a roughly 100 meter wide area outside of the city wall. And in total, the 1st Battalion was actually only responsible for a 200 meters wide area and nothing more. The soldiers felt that todays battle was effortless like never before, especially with the zing Armors supplemented by Lin Xin on them, enabling them to kill without any care. However, Zhang Hairong felt gloomy. The formidable power of Long Haochens group had affected their fighting strength by arge extent. And even as his subordinate, Long Haochen was particrly considerate of his side, asionallyunching a Light Thorn to help him, piercing a few of the Dual ded Demons at his side. He provided him with such great help that the frequency of the swings from hisrge axes had strongly declined. Battalionmander, are the demons attacking the city only Dual ded Demons? Still in the middle of battle, Long Haochen asked the nearby Zhang Hairong. Zhang Hairong replied, This is only a probing attack, for the purpose of exhausting our people. Among demons, the ones that reproduce the fastest are these Dual ded Demons, which are extremely numerous. The more they are, the higher the consumption of food. Among demons ns, only a few are good at cultivating and producing food, so they can only try to enve humans to do so for them. But the amount of food is limited, and each demon soldier needs to be fed. Thus, when their number is too excessive, they willunch attacks, making use of the conflict to plunder our cities, while also reducing their poption. This kind of cold-blooded actions is something only cold-blooded creatures like demons are capable of doing. These Dual ded Demons were originally sent off to die, but in the middle of this experience of continuous battles, some of the surviving Dual ded Demons gain the possibility of evolution. With but a single evolution, these Dual ded Demons strength will grow enormously. At the same time, because we dont know when the formidable main armies of these demons are going tounch their all-out attacks, our sides powerhouses will exhaust their mental energy while waiting for that moment. In terms of global strength, demons are beyondpare with us, so we have no way to take the initiative ofunching the offense. When the other side is using this kind of dying tactics, it will easily bring mental exhaustion to the powerhouses of our side, and this way, at the time these demons willunch their real offensive, the results will naturally be disastrous for us. Long Haochen remarked in astonishment, So these demons are actually so clever? Zhang Hairong fiercely hacked a Dual ded Demon into pieces, as he replied, The majority of these demons were originally mutated from humans, like the demons from the Luke n, who can bepared the invisible demons from the Dyke n in terms of threat. Long Haochen nodded, and said, The invisible Dyke nsmen are indeed very guileful. If not for the assistance of the Eyes of Truth, their ambushes would even have chances to work against our sides powerhouses. Zhang Hairongughed gently before telling him, You didnt get itpletely. In the battlefield, the impact of these Dyke nsmen is far inferior to that of the Luke nsmen. In case a great amount of Luke nsmen appear, our side has to dispatch troops, with enough mages among them. Otherwise, in case theyunch group offenses from underground, the losses will be disastrous for our side. To infantry like us, Luke demons are just a nightmare. The Dual ded Demons were naturally the most influential race of demons. Although they didnt have any special characteristic, their numbers could definitely not be neglected. Despite the amount of bodies on the ground, which were almost forming a mountain, as far as the eye could see, Dual ded Demons were still omnipresent, still arriving again and again. Although it waste night, the Exorcist City was brightly lit, and by the means of this light, Long Haochen had gotten the opportunity of observing the surroundings. From his point of view, although that wall was already quite broad, inparison with the entire Exorcist Mountain Pass, it could only be regarded as a little drop of water in an ocean! And this drop in the ocean had enabled humanity to repel these demons for thousands years already. As a whole, the Exorcist Mountain Pass was aplete mountain at 100%, on the two sides were precipitous cliffs, glossy as mirror. And these precipices were a massive means of defense. Precisely because of the terrain, the 100 meter high wall appeared to be 300 meters high in practice. In terms of thickness, this wall absolutely exceeded 100 meters, and above it were several magic arrays carved and designed so as to resist magic attacks. This imposing mountain had 80,000 people from the Six Great Temples guarding it, and an unending stream of supplies was transported from the rear to sustain them. As one could imagine, this mountain would prove to be extremely hard to break through. Even an army of a million would find it very difficult to advance. At this very moment, a roar sounded from the rear of the battalion. Shooting a nce, Long Haochen discovered with astonishment that Chen Yinger hadpleted her Creature Summoning Gates summon. Although Chen Yingers summons were not so reliable, inparison with the little sheep that came out that time, the results were not as unfortunate this time. As a whole, summons on the same level as hers still had a greater probability of being called out. With a length over three meters, a Metallic Armed Magic Bear with metallic arms and a greyish ck skin had been called out. It was a magical beast of the fifth step, and although it didnt possess any innate ability, it could resist and attack, making it a suitable summon in this kind of defensive situation. Under Chen Yingersmand, the Metallic Armed Magic Bear swung a pair of paws at the approaching Dual ded Demons, sending them flying. Arriving at this point, the 1st Demon Hunt Squads members used their respective methods to assist the 1st battalion in stabilizing the defense of the area. Sima Xian suddenly turned around and shouted at Long Haochen, Captain, call Haoyue out as well. This is a good time to farm contribution points! Because they were previously staying in the office hall, their temporary home, Haoyue remained there, and Long Haochen didnt have the time to wake him up to tell him toe by their side. As soon as he heard Sima Xian, Long Haochen immediately got in the move. _Thats right! With the solid defense of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, theres no need to worry about the rear, and even with their spiritual energies nearly exhausted, the others should be able to retreat without problem. Seeing that the amount of Dual ded Demon is so boundless, how couldnt this be the best time to make our offensive power break out?_ They still have a trick up their sleeves? Zhang Hairong swept his eyes over Long Haochen with amazement, and happened to see a purple glow shining on his forehead. Immediately, an enormous silhouette appeared behind him. Haoyues figure sure had an intimidating power. With a four meters high body, four majestic limbs and the unique characteristic of having three heads, his appearance shook everyone present. Chapter 174 - A Beginning of Tacit Understanding (II)

Chapter 174: A Beginning of Tacit Understanding (II)

Without the need for Long Haochen to say anything, the man and the beast were mentally linked with each other. Haoyues three heads popped up, and aiming at the city wall, immediatelyunched the attacks they had prepared in advance: light arrows, wind de, and fireball. With extremely precise uracy, there wasnt the slightest waste of energy. Each spell urately fell on a Dual ded Demon, and with a single round of bombardment, the Dual ded Demons that were tirelessly climbing up fell down, lifeless. This was precisely the great utility of a mage in the battlefield. Generally speaking, in any Demon Hunt Squad, the principal firepower would being from the mage. Naturally, this was with the exception of a Demon Hunt Squad filled with misfits like the 1st Demon Hunt Squads Beasts summoned magically or the mount of a knight would also count in the calction of the total of contribution points. Possessing a status of Spiritual Tier equipment, the contribution point tile would be bound with every contract at the same time it is bound by blood. If not for this fact, this item wouldnt have such a high rank. Its ability for detecting magical phenomenons was extremely urate. Previously, Long Haochen didnt have the highest count of kills, but with the addition of Haoyue, no one couldpare to him anymore. Haoyues three heads released magic of the first or second step, which was already enough to cope with these Dual ded Demons. Because the range covered by these spells was very wide, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan had respectively moved away from their original location, otherwise they would have nothing left to do. The effects of Long Haochens Spiritual Gathering Halo were really out of the ordinary. As a matter of fact, since no one would use too powerful abilities to handle mere Dual ded Demons, with the support of the Spiritual Gathering Halo, they could keep themselves at their peak state. As long as these powers of the fourth or fifth step had sufficient spiritual energy in stock, their physical strength could be replenished naturally, by means of their spiritual energy. Long Haochens squad was of course not the only one stepping on the battlefield this time. As time went on, people familiar with Long Haochen asionally appeared on nearby locations. For instance, Bai Xiaomos signature botanical attacks, asionally producing a sh of spiritual energy of the light attribute, or Huang Yis earth system magic and so on. Defending the city was a duty entirely assigned to infantry troops, and although it wasnt like all ten battalion had gone up to the border of the city, it was at that moment the case for five of them. Five battalions, forming a total of five thousands soldiers. Even in the past, they were enough to protect the city from these Dual ded Demons, and had some more resources to spare, let alone now that they were benefitting from the help of five newly formed Demon Hunt Squads. From time to time, a healing radiance would appear with a glint of magical light. This lightened the pressure on these soldiers enormously. And it was the first time these Demon Hunt Squads disyed their strength, in apletely different context from back then in Holy City, as they were this time facing true enemies, and didnt have to act in consideration to the opponents wellbeing. As part of a n belonging to the low-end of their armed forces, Dual ded Demons were the perfect punching-ball to them. Half an hour had already passed in the blink of an eye. Because of the disy of power of Long Haochens group, having nothing else to do, Zhang Hairong was left with no other choice but to fall back, putting his energy onmanding his troops in the rear, his eyes asionally swept at Long Haochens direction. Everyone in the 1st Demon Hunt Squad had produced a great show, but only Long Haochen really attracted Zhang Hairongs attention. Let alone his formidable magical beast, he himself appeared in Zhang Hairongs eyes like a sort of legendary hero. This youngster looking ten or so years-old and having an appearance close to that of a young girl was just too powerful. His Spiritual Gathering Halo was released in the first instant of the battle and hadsted up to now for thirty minutes already! Although Zhang Hairong didnt know to which step this ability belonged, having personally felt the incredibly utility of this Spiritual Gathering Halo, he naturally understood how great its consumption should be. But at the same time he was putting this Spiritual Gathering Halo in use, Long Haochen had been battling all along, not having rested the slightest bit. And yet, looking at him, his power was still far from being exhausted. The greatest impression Long Haochen gave him was the one of being calm. At such young age, Long Haochens temperament was already evoking peoples admiration. His strength was clearly great, but he didnt release a single powerful ability to cope with these Dual ded Demons, using at most Light Thorns and nothing more. And his eyes asionally swept past hisrades, clear sign that he was paying attention to his surrounding as he battled the demons. Truly deserving to be called an elite! And Im afraid this youngster has already reached the fifth step of cultivation. An Earth Knight of the fifth step! At his age, I was still struggling in the second step. As thoughts asionally shed in Zhang Hairong, a bizarre sound was transmitted from the distant darkness. Wuwu, wuu Three muffled cries sounded, scattering from the edge of the city all around, and three enormous dark golden radiances abruptly soared and rose in the sky. The luster of these three radiances filled with evil aura momentarily spread. Hearing these three whimper-like cries, the Dual ded Demons under the city seemed to be stimted, their eyes focusing on this frantic gloss before charging toward the citys edges even more frantically. Also at this very moment, ten dazzling golden fireballs flew in the air above Exorcist City, going straight towards it. Long Haochen unconsciously looked up, only seeing that above the city, a city gate tower was now visible. These golden fireballs were preciselying out from this city gate tower, dispersing tens after tens of these fireballs. After a little time over a dozen seconds, these, these golden fireballs exploded in session, erupting into myriad of rays in the air. These golden rays illuminated everything, and at the same time, the Dual ded Demon armies below became tense, clearly having some fear towards these golden radiances. Seeing the illumination brought by the golden radiances, Long Haochen couldnt help but sigh in annoyance, because he could clearly see that from afar, an uncountable army of demons was rushing forward. This time, it wasnt only Dual ded Demons, but also other species on the ground, and an enormous demonic air force forming a sort of ck cloud. Zhang Hairongs look changed greatly, Be careful everyone, the demons are about tounch a total attack. Long Haochen lifted the Holy Spirit Shield high above his own head, slightly swaying below. Hispanions immediately saw this signal, and hurried to draw closer and join up with him. In a sh, their formation was put in order as they regrouped. Long Haochen temporarily cancelled Spiritual Gathering Halo, consuming a Spiritual Gathering Pill Lin Xin gave him. Slightly drawing back and shutting his eyes, he rapidly replenished his spiritual energy previously consumed. The fact that he could previously use Spiritual Gathering Halo for such a long time was inextricably linked to the effects of his special constitution as a Scion of Light, and close to half of his used up spiritual energy was already recovered. But this investment of his was truly worth it; at least, hisrades had maintained themselves at their peak condition. In the rear, Han Yu released a holy spell without the slightest hesitation, Radiant World, transmitting his own internal spiritual energy to Long Haochen. No matter whether it was in his capacity of retainer knight, or in his capacity of alternate knight for this team, this was what he ought to do. Having gotten Han Yus support in addition to the effects of the Spiritual Gathering Pills, Long Haochens spiritual energy was rapidly replenished. Everyone, be careful! We mustnt advance prematurely. Lin Xin, take care of our defense from the rear. Long Haochen gave these simples warnings, his Holy Spirit Set once again bursting out with the radiance of the Holy Spirit Protection. With the demons grouped attack, these Dual ded Demons offensive increased tremendously. In the air, the illuminationsted for long, and an enormous silhouette could be clearly seen from the city. And now, Long Haochen had basically no time to identify those demons. Only at this very moment did he understand fully why his teacher had said that in the battlefield, the force of a single person would forever remain negligible. In the front of those omnipresent demons forming an army charging at their direction, even as a group, these seven youths seemedpletely insignificant. And at the same time, intense magic ripples were transmitted from the second floor of the city gate tower, and muffled chants could be vaguely heard. Without a doubt, the strongest guardians of the city would logically all be on this city gate tower, preparing the counter-attack and storing their power; After the time of ten breaths, a qualitative change appeared on the demons charging towards the city. With a blow of sword, Long Haochen sent a dual ded Demon flying, before immediately seeing a familiar deep green color. Everyone, be careful. Long Haochen said out in loud voice, a blue light surging out from his chest. It was the Saint Spiritual Stove. The deep green colored stepped forward at great speed, roaring loudly and fiercely, directly throwing itself at Long Haochen. This imposing silhouette was two meters tall, possessing a height of roughly three meters. On its back was a light carapace with wings on the two sides. This winged carapace didnt enable it to fly, but it helped it sturdy body in maintaining its bnce. Its ferocious head resembled a lizards, and it had extremely wide, sharp and thick teeth. The most threatening part of it was its pair of 1.5 meters long arms, extending like heavy des. This was a kind of king among the Zelin Demons, precisely one of the kind that formerly brought Long Haochen his first spoils of wars. Originally, Long Haochens level of cultivation when facing this Dark Green Dual ded Demon was at the fourth step, but he was now not only an Earth Knight, and he had in addition the help ofrades by his side, far beyondpare with the ones he had at that time. The Holy Spirit Shield in his hand started to glow white; it was Holy Filter Shield. Facing the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, he leaned forward, activating Divine Obstruction. With a loud bang, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon thrusted a hand forward, against the Holy Spirit Shield. Dazzling white light erupting, bright light illuminated Long Haochens body. Not taking a single step back, he held the Holy Spirit Sword in his right hand vertically, blocking the Dark Green Dual ded Demons second strike. Dang Divine Obstruction resounded. Long Haochen escaped danger by a hairs breath, by the use of a second consecutive Divine Obstruction. It enabled him to block entirely this first round of attacks belonging to this Dark Green Dual ded Demon. Chained Obstruction, this was the other secret technique that Long Haochen picked in the Alliances Treasure Vault. At first nce, this Chained Obstruction looked like an ordinary ability. But whenbined with Divine Obstruction, by enabling to use twice in session the same blocking technique, it could provide a real boost of utility to any Guardian Knight. The number of times Chained Obstruction could be used in a row was intricately linked to the level of cultivation; with Long Haochens current strength, he could at most use Divine Obstruction twice in a row, and the second time would use up twice the amount of spiritual energy to that of the first one. But in the battlefield, when confronting powerful enemies, the second consecutive utilisation of Divine Obstruction,pleted with the use of Bright Vengeance would very likely provide the knight with an asion ofnding a powerful blow against them. A counterattack following the shield block! Chapter 175 - Beginning of Tacit Understanding (III)

Chapter 175: Beginning of Tacit Understanding (III)

But this time, Long Haochen didnt rely on Bright Vengeance tounch a powerful counterattack. Indeed, as the heart of the team, when facing demons attacks, he had to ensure that the fighting strength of the whole team could be unleashed; how could he afford to waste some spiritual energy? With a loud bang, the small Long Haochen resisted that enormous Dark Green Dual ded Demons strike. The most astonishing thing was that this imposing Dark Green Dual ded Demon was struck and pushed back, falling in the air and smashing loudly on the ground. Iming. An ice cold voice echoed in the ears of each member of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, making Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, who were preparing to go provide offensive support to Long Haochen, give up on this idea. A dark golden glow appeared, hitting the body of that Dark Green Dual ded Demon in an instant, and entering its hard skull. This radiance was just formed from a glow, butpletely shook this Dark Green Dual ded Demon that was preparing to continue his attack, making it fall on the ground with a loud bang. It died? Not far behind, Zhang Hairong was so shocked that he felt as if his eyes were about to fall on the ground. This was after all a Dark Green Dual ded Demon! With its extremely great physical power, a Dark Green Dual ded Demon wasparable to a human powerhouse of the fifth step! And it died just like that? The hardest ces on a Dark Green Dual ded Demon were its two long ded arms and its skull. But behind his skull was its central core. When this central core had been instantly broken down, how could it not die? Not only did it die, its corpse was furthermorepletely intact. Let alone Zhang Hairong who couldnt believe his eyes, even Long Haochen who was directly involved in this feat waspletely shaken. Having previously faced a Dark Green Dual ded Demon, he naturally knew about this things power. But this time, it just took a few seconds to kill it. It was of course not this Dark Green Dual ded Demon that was especially weak, but his teammates that were formidable. Without a doubt, the one who gave the Dark Green Dual ded Demon this fatal blow was precisely Caier. In the entire previous battle, she hadnt intervened at all, and was like nothing more than a shadow sticking to Long Haochens back. Only at that moment did she unleash this rming blow, instantly earn ten contribution points. Contribution points were indeed not earned easily; on the way to Exorcist City, Gao Yingjie had exined them about the earning and value of the contribution points. Among the rules, when hunting demons, ordinary Dual ded Demon brought only a single point for each kill, but this was when less than ten of them were killed. Above ten, ten more Dual ded Demons had to be killed to gain a single contribution point. After all, to Demon Hunt Squads, Dual ded Demons were nothing more than ants. Only the first ten kills were of real benefit to a neer. As for the Dark Green Dual ded Demons, they held a constant value of ten contribution points. In other words, no matter how powerful they would get in the future, ying Dark Green Dual ded Demons would still get them ten contribution points. This was how big the difference was. Of course, Long Haochen was currently not in a situation to count contribution points. Taking a step forward, he stuck his Holy Spirit Sword inside of that Dark Green Dual ded Demons body before exerting himself physically to take a step back. The Dark Green Dual ded Demons body was then immediately sent flying back. Lin Xin. A red glow shone on Lin Xins hand, and immediately, the enormous Dark Green Dual ded Demon disappeared in a mass of red light. Captain, got it! In terms of wealth, even added up, the others could not possiblypare to Lin Xin. On his hand was a ming red storing spatial ring with terrifying space. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon having such a valuable corpse, it was naturally the best to let him deal with it. As the one in charge of managing their wealth, he would in the end produce more wealth than anyone else. To be able to integrate this Demon Hunt Squad, Lin Xin paid an enormous cost. These pills he gave off had a value that actually exceeded 10,000 gold coins; even with more money, how could his ie possibly be enough to cover these feespletely!? The appearance of this Dark Green Dual ded Demon also implied that this battle had reached its climax. It was not simply a matter of confronting the Dual ded Demons from the Zelin n anymore. At that moment, a massive magic aura burst forth from the summit of the city gate tower, countless elegant fireworks-like lights shot out, directly aiming at the army of densely packed demons. In this kind of battlefield there was absolutely no need to aim carefully; any magic spell falling down would after all be bound to hit a target. More than a hundred spells wereunched simultaneously. It was the first time Long Haochen got to see such a spectacle. Magnificent fireworks illuminated the whole Exorcist defensive fort, creating intense light in the middle of the night. Demons obviously wouldnt wait helplessly for death; dazzling purplish ck fireballs rose from the main forces of the army below, outrageously annihting thisbination of spells dropping from the sky. If one watched carefully, they would discover that the ones whounched these purplish ck fireballs belonged to a specie that was a bit over two meters high and supported by three legs on the ground. It didnt have any arms, and had an especially huge head. Its three legs were very bulky, using them to walk at very fast speeds. It had on its head six eyes; these purplish-ck fireballs had precisely been condensed from these six eyes of theirs. This kind of demon belonged to their magical army forces, expert at using darkness magic. These Demon Eyeing Soldiers were very huge, even among other demons. Inparison to human mages, Demon Eyeing Soldiers were far inferior. Along with their bodies evolution, they had only obtained a few darkness set spells, but their actual utility was in their quantity. The weakest Demonic Eyeing Soldier were equivalent to mages of the second step in terms of magic power. As a matter of fact, they had a lot more potential than these Dual ded Demons. They were separated into five grades, the most powerful being that of King Graded Demonic Eyeing Soldier, equivalent to a powerhouse of the seventh step. The major part of the hundred plus spells fired from the city gate tower had been intercepted and stopped by the Bright Magic Bullets fired by these Demonic Eyeing Soldiers, so only a small part of them could reach the demon army. Breaking out with a dazzlingly beautiful brilliance, these spells massacred arge amount of the low-end demons. Obviously, for Exorcist City to havested thousands of years without having been broken even once, it was not so simple. At the same time the first bombardment of magic spells waspleted, a second bombardment of a hundred-plus spell was beingunched. Having previously faced the Dual ded Demons, the mages were already storing their energy in preparation for the ultimate sh, and now was the time to unleash their power. Nearly at the same time the previous magic bombardment ended, a second magic bombardment came down, seemingly jointing together without producing the smallest gap. From a conservative estimate, the number of mages situated in this city gate tower was at least 1000. And their level of cultivation wasnt below the fourth step. With the backing of these mages, the pressure inflicted upon the city was greatly reduced. At the same time, a great amount of soldier reinforcements immediately went up. And in contrast to the previous infantry soldiers, these were full-armored warriors, all of them having at least reached the third step of cultivation, taking over the duty of the battalion that quickly stepped back andpleting this relief. The configuration of these elite soldiers was particr. Each group was formed of three people; a Shield Warrior, an Axe Warrior and a Berserker Warrior carrying an enormous sword. They were separated in teams of three, containing warriors of respective kinds. In addition, at least two reserve teams were behind each of the ones in the front, ready to provide backup at anytime. Even though the attacks of these main demon army forces were formed withrge quantities of powerful ones, the warriors had the support of the mages and priests situated in the city gate tower, and could thus withstand attacks of any intensity. At the same time, explosions asionally sounded from the direction of the city gate tower. Clearly, strong magic brilliance was being continuously condensed above the linked walls on the edge of the town, before bursting forth, forming an enormous fireball. Magic Cannon. Each strike of this formidable weapon designed for the defense of the city could match the power of a grand offensive spell of the sixth step. Above the Exorcist City, more than a hundred of them were actually aiming at the enemy troops. Inparison with the great war that was breaking out, Long Haochens group handling Dual ded Demon could only be considered a childs y. This was a real confrontation between humans and demons. Zhang Hairong shouted out loudly to Long Haochens group, Retreat! Its time for relieve! At that moment, the whole 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad had maintained a good fighting strength. Even Chen Yinger had already recovered a good part of her spiritual energy. In the front of the main forces of the demon armies, they truly felt unwilling to step back. But Long Haochen promised Zhang Hairong absolutepliance. After firing more than a dozen of full-power Light Thorns, he passed down the order of retreat to his teammates. Im not satisfied yet! Sima Xians muddy staff was covered in thick liquid, thetter being in an excited state and the same applied to Wang Yuanyuan. After started to retreating together with Long Haochen, her face clearly revealed an unsatisfied expression. Long Haochen gave them a nce, before saying in deep voice, We are now soldiers. For a duration of three months, there will be nock of asion for us to disy our skills. Now, what we have to do is to hurry up and follow battalionmander in retreating. At the same time they were retreating, the sinister demon air force was nearing from the sky. On the city gate tower, at least half of the mages and magic cannons were aiming at them. But among them, some still managed to escape fatality in the end. With over four meters of height, six meters long wings covering its whole body, an immense demon suddenly appeared. A glint of greenish ck brilliance of the dual darkness and wind attribute formed a de of light, going straight for Zhang Hairong who was leading the retreat. Be careful,mander! With his incredibly acute perception, Long Haochen, who had immediately led the others to retreat, directly discovered that this flying demon had suddenlyunched an attack in their direction, even though he was concealed in the dark night. This was one of the infamous and formidable aerial species of demons, a wind and darkness dual system Beta Flying Demon of the Maxilias demon n. Among the demon army forces, a Beta Flying Demon was a true powerhouse, an existence possessing true inheritance. Having great hereditary potential, it was the specie of one of the seventy two demon gods. Among the seventy two demon gods, some even possessed directly subordinated armies. Although some of the directly subordinated soldiers were born from the infection of the maind, they were all mentally controlled by the demon god. And Beta Flying Demons were part of the directly subordinated army of the thirty fifth demon god, Maxilias. And each and every one of the Beta Flying Demons had strength above the fifth step. As for the ones forming Maxilias personal elite army, so called Blood Sucking Betas, they were powerhouses of the seventh step. These armies actually included a direct subordinate of demon god, and furthermore, one that belonged to their top 36. In fact these mighty grand Demon Gods didnt all possess directly subordinated armies. For instance, the seventh demon god Anan, the one who had been challenged by the Divine Knight of Adjudication Long Xingyu, was a solitary powerhouse. It was a sudden and violent attack. His left leg stomping on the ground with full strength, Long Haochen jumped up in a sh. Through his mental connection with Haoyue, Little Green spurted out a gale from his mouth, brushing Long Haochens back to elerate him even further. In midair, the Saint Spiritual Stove glowed of white. Drawing support from Little Greens assistance, Long Haochen had already closed the gap while diving down fast toward the attacking Beta Flying Demon, which was already within a distance of 50 meters from him. Chapter 176 - Contribution Points Equally Divided? (I)

Chapter 176: Contribution Points Equally Divided? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Saint Spiritual Stoves might became undoubtedly visible at that time. Together with the Beta Flying Demon, this dark ck de of light was pulled by the Saint Spiritual Stove, forcefully turning around, aiming straight at Long Haochen. At this moment, the distance separating it from Zhang Hairong was less than five meters already. Using his Holy Spirit Shield, he blocked it with a loud bang. As a result, Long Haochens body was forcibly sent flying. Having put himself in such a situation so suddenly, he was unable to use Divine Obstruction. Fortunately, it was only an ordinary Beta Flying Demon, so Long Haochen didnt sustain any major injury while falling on the ground. Having suffered the Saint Spiritual Stoves influence, the Beta Flying Demon dove down in a sh, a dozen of sparkling greenish ck des of wind bombarding Long Haochen. The Beta Flying Demons greatest strong point lied in its attack speed, the wind attribute providing it with the ability of flight in addition to iparably rapid attacks and speed. Moreover, what it used could be considered an innate skill, both strong and incredibly rapid, and furthermore, all its attacks were dual-elemental. They would frequently mount sneak attacks from the air. A fiery red radiance glowed on Long Haochens body, symbol of Lin Xins elementary shield. His defensive magic did not only have great defensive power, but furthermore, because he was relying on his fire cloud crystal, his casting speed was also extremely fast. With an ear-piercing sound continuously sounding in the air, the Beta Flying Demons wind de was blocked by the fire elemental shield. This Beta Flying Demon was however not stupid, possessing such innate capabilities meant that its intelligence was in no way low. Seeing that the situation didnt look good, the Beta Flying Demon unfolded its wings, nning on rising to the sky to escape. Unfortunately, it wasnt able to. When it dove down fast towards Long Haochen to unleash its attack, it had already entered within a distance of 25 meters from Long Haochen. And thus, the ability Pull of the Saint Spiritual Stove wasunched. Having simrly reached the fifth step, Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove was unable to pull the Beta Flying Demonpletely, but the dy it produced was enough. A glinting radiance covered the approaching enormous shield, while a hammer burst down from the other side. The Beta Flying Demons body burst forth with a dark green halo of light, However, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian used in the next instant their full strength to attack. With a loud rumble, the Beta Flying Demon let out a mournful shriek, his left wing already half snapped. The Sacred Light Hammer originally brought great harm to demons, and this time, it directly cancelled out the Beta Flying Demons defense. Further adding the strike of Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, how could their attack be blocked lightly? It was already fortunate that because of its particrly tough body, this Beta Flying Demon only had half a wing snapped. But this fact implied that it was already unable to maintain its bnce anymore. Its body immediately felt down on the ground. A dim golden radiance arouse suddenly. Zhang Hairong, who just came back to his senses, simply saw the delicate girl behind Long Haochen tapping her cane on the ground, and a split secondter, she was already 20 meters high in the air. Immediately following, seven or eight phantomatic dark golden afterimages flickered in the air before falling above the Beta Flying Demon. Not letting this Beta Flying Demon fall down, Lin Xin waved his fire cloud crystal, and a ring of brilliant mes immediately enveloped the corpse of this Beta Demon. As he hauled it back, it disappeared in the next instant, entering his storing ring. Making thisrge backward motion, he attracted the simultaneous gaze of these elite soldier d in full-body armor that had just arrived. Looking at this Beta Flying Demon falling down like that, they were in great shock. _Are they really from an ordinary battalion? Since when could a battalion contain mages and assassins?_ Long Haochens group followed Zhang Hairong together with the 1st Soldier Battalion in their retreat. At that time, the looks these soldiers gave them had already changedpletely, clearly carrying some reverence. For the precise reason that they had Long Haochens group by their side, the 1st battalions casualties were this time exceedingly low: the dead were below a dozen, and the injured below fifty. This was something they had never aplished in any another battle in the past. In fact, they were actually the ones that were generally perishing the fastest in the battlefield. Thank you brother! Zhang Hairong patted Long Haochens shoulder, revealing a straightforward smile. Long Haochen said, We are your soldiers, to protect you is our duty. Zhang Hairong gave him a nce before doing a thumbs up, leading once again the whole battalion to retreat back to the city. At the same time they were retreating, a golden lump could be seen in the air. At least a hundred knights were flying on their mounts, ready to join the battlefield. The target they were aiming at was precisely the Maxilias ns Beta Flying Demon that Long Haochens group had just ined. But Long Haochens group didnt notice that at the time they were withdrawing, a pair of beautiful eyes containing aplex expression were looking at their direction, until the time they finally disappeared from her path of view. In the city gate tower, Sheng Lingxin was fully d in martial armor and had an awe-inspiring look. The whole Exorcist Mountain Range now looked just like a sort of machine, operating at very fast pace, acting against the main demon forces series of uninterrupted deployments. A total of no less than a thousand mages, divided into ten groups a hundred, was now taking turns in releasing spells, under Lan Yanyus directions. As soon as it was done, they immediately stepped back to store magic power. And twenty specialized Guardian Knight were standing there, using the same Spiritual Gathering Halo as Long Haochen to assist them. Assaulted by these mages and magic cannons heavy bombardment, the losses on the side of demons were simply disastrous. As for the elite soldiers who arrived to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, there was a total of 3000 soldiers ready to provide them with backup at anytime. They were d in simple leather armor, and each of them carried a pair of dagger, heading towards the rear of their group. In case a formidable demon gained the advantage, they would immediatelyunch an attack to assist the elite warriors. This was the real power of the Assassin Temple. They actually managed to transfer such massive amount of middle and high ranked Assassin. These assassin were all at least at the fourth step, and formed the cornerstone of Exorcist City. Returning from the battlefield, Zhang Hairong quickly led the soldiers back to their living quarters, while the injured were sent to the infirmary and the dead were registered to the specialists in charge before being incinerated. Go back and grab some rest. Heaven knows when these demon spawns wille back to attack. We may have to head to the battlefield once again soonter. Disband. The soldiers dispersed neatly and tidily, returning respectively to their own living quarters. The overwhelming majority of these soldiers could not help but take ast look at the little team of seven beside Zhang Hairong, many of them doing thumbs up. They were particrly grateful towards Han Yu and Lin Xin who helped greatly in protecting these soldiers. Long Haochen straightened his back; at that time, it seemed as if a me was being ignited in his heart. _Thats right! Only through real war experience can one truly experience the cruelty of war and understand the feelings of these fellow soldiers._ The soldiers didnt use words to express their gratefulness, but their gesture and expressions already expressed a lot. Long Haochen knew that in this battle, their 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad got the acknowledgement of the soldiers of the 1st Battalion. Zhang Hairong turned around, looking at Long Haochens group, andughed out loudly, You were very brave. Hurry up to return, take a shower and get some rest. The battlefields businesses are hard to predict; its hard to say how long youll get to rest before going up there again. The fiercest battle I can think of hadsted seven days and seven nights, reducing our troops by a ten thousand, but in the end, we repelled the main forces of the demon armies. And this time, the losses on the demon side were also disastrous, to the extent that they hadnte to attack us for a whole three months. Reportedly, a total of twenty powerhouses of the eighth step from both sides died that time. Yes, battalionmander! The military salute Long Haochen performed to him was quite more standard than before. Zhang Hairong let out a light sigh, It would be so great if you could remain in my 1st Battalion forever. However, Im afraid that well not be associate with each other for so long. Having said so, he turned around, his eyes filled with deep regret. Even he knew that the elites from Demon Hunt Squads wouldnt remain there. Every living quarters had a little bathroom. Actually, the ones who really need to wash themselves were only the three who went to the front to battle: Long Haochen, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan. As for the other four, they were not dirty in the slightest. As the saying goes, Ladies first; the one who went the first was naturally Wang Yuanyuan, followed by Sima Xian. In his capacity of captain, Long Haochen was thest one to go to bathroom. He told everyone not to go to rest first, because he had something to tell them first. Quickly, the three of them finished to wash. After closing the door, Long Haochen dered, In the battle we had today near the city walls, everyones tacit understanding was already quite better. I have two matters to discuss with you now. The first thing is about obeying orders. In the end, we now belong to the army, and as soldiers, obeying orders is our most important duty. In case we vite this rule, even if we manage to kill more enemies, Im afraid that the other side will be discontented with us. So I have to ask everyone to show more restraint in the future. After all was said and done, Long Haochen had still not been captain for so long, and although his capabilities only convinced everyone more and more as time went on, he didnt really have much authority. Thus, he was being careful with his words, trying to act as tactfully as possible. Sima Xian stroked his bald head, and replied, Just now, I have gotten a bit carried away. I will reflect on my actions. Wang Yuanyuan shot him a nce, I dont really care about the army stuff, but I will listen to you, Haochen. Everyone had seen Long Haochens performances in the battlefield with their own eyes. For the sake of the team, he refrained from using his abilities of Retribution Knight to focus on maintaining his Spiritual Gathering Halo from beginning to end, so as to help the others in recovering their spiritual energies. He showed particr consideration to the general situation, having only greater impact as the heart of the team. The atmosphere within the team was very good, and although Wang Yuanyuans character was naturally stubborn, she still acknowledge this boy a lot younger than her. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue and remarked, Hey, with my own capability, its out of question for me to disobey orders, you know! These three dered their position in session, and as for Caier, Han Yu and Lin Xin, they naturally didnt press on the topic any further. Long Haochen smiled, Thank you everyone. Actually, Ive been putting serious thoughts on this matter: this time, we will be training in the Exorcist Mountain Pass for a total duration of three months. And our newly formed Demon Hunt Squad is gradually going to be sharpened. Then, when it will be time for us to leave, the Exorcist Mountain Pass military should give us an evaluation. No matter how good our performance is, in case we dont listen to the orders, the militarys evaluation of us will very possibly be lowered, which can only be unfavorable to our ranking in this team contest. Chapter 177 - Contribution Points Equally Divided? (II)

Chapter 177: Contribution Points Equally Divided? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales As time passed, Long Haochens meticulous thinking only happened to be wiser and wiser. As the captain, his thoughts on these matters were naturally more developed than his mates. As for the second matter I have to tell everyone about, it is a quite important matter. I wish to discuss it with everyone properly. Although I didnt check in detail, in the previous battle, the ones who got the more contribution points should be me, Caier, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan. But in terms of contribution to the team, Han Yu, Lin Xin and Yinger were equally important. But these contribution points are currently not distributed evenly at all. I think that the power of a team doesnt lie on the individual power within it. The more important is our strength as a whole. And the contribution points will directly rte to our future upgrades. If we, melee fighters, are the only ones to get a good amount of contribution points, ourrades in charge of support will get almost none inparison, and I believe it is not fair to them at all. If in the future, some of us get wounded and are in need for a particr healing, but are unable to get it because of theck of contribution points, wouldnt it cause us to be in danger? This matter is something we will have to confront, and the sooner is the better. Please give your personal opinions on this, everyone. This was the matter of the utmost importance Long Haochen needed to speak about. Contribution points could be mainly earned through two ways,pleting Demon Hunt Missions in the Mission Tower, or hunting and killing demons. Without a doubt, thetter was the most direct and simple way to earn them. In the future three months, their contribution points would be gained solely through this means. If the difference of roles within the team prevented some from obtaining contribution points, even if theirrades in charge for support didnt voice it out, they would truly not feel good. This time, the one who spoke out the first was the ordinarily calm Caier, My opinion is the same as Haochen, his decision will be mine. Caier, the vice-captain of the team, actually didnt really stand out, but who would dare neglect her opinion? Previously, regardless of whether it was when confronting the Dark Green Dual ded Demon or the Beta Flying Demon, she achieved kills with single blows. Just like Long Haochen was the main cornerstone of the team, she was the teams sharpest de. Sima Xian chuckled gently, Captain, I actually wanted to raise this issue one day. This Bro-Has-Drugs in the rear is fully responsible of defense, so if we dont think of a solution, this guy who cannot attack will never get a single fart of contribution point! I have no objection; its admittedly true that contribution points are a good thing, but killing demons is what I like the most! Wang Yuanyuan also nodded in approvement and said, The bald man is right, we are a team, a whole entity. Haochen, you handle this. We will fix a rule, that we will act in ordance with in the future. If I were to request anything, it would be to guarantee that the repartition remains as fair as possible. On this matter, Han Yu naturally wouldnt raise any objection, be it as Long Haochens retainer or the main person in charge of supporting. As a matter of fact, Lin Xin and Chen Yinger didnt speak much on the matter, and everyones gazes fell on Long Haochen. Long Haochen secretly loosened his breath, nodding to himself before speaking out, I have previously put deep thoughts in this matter. Sis Yuanyuan is right, we are a whole entity. My suggestion is simple, it is to divide them evenly with everyone. When someone contributes greatly to the whole team somehow, the others can give him some more contribution points as reward, and this rule of dividing them evenly would also apply to wounded members. Divide them evenly? Hearing these three words, a change appeared in everyones look. Wang Yuanyuan appeared astonished, Sima Xian was rather full of respect. Lin Xin appeared extremely grateful, and Chen Yinger impatiently raised a cry, Long Live Captain! Although she previously summoned an Metallic Armed Magic Bear, this fellow was just too dumb! He had been teared to shreds before they retreated and didnt kill a high amount of Dual ded Demon, so her contribution points were not so high. And it was only because the ten first Dual ded Demon had more value that she didnt get any. Master, I dont need to be counted in. At this time, Han Yu said so. Long Haochen was startled, Why? Han Yu said with a calm face, I am your retainer, and furthermore, when counting the teams contribution points, mine will not count. It will affect the whole teams advancement. As your retainer, my sole duty is to serve you. More importantly, I already obtained very great benefits from the effects of the retainer contract. How could I ept everyones contribution points? Having gained more and more understanding on Long Haochens character as time went on, Han Yu came to ept his own position. And it was not surprising; with the assistance of the retainer contract, his internal spiritual energy had reached the eightieth level! Having gone from sixty-something to eighty would appear like a mere increase of 20%, but in practice, he clearly felt that his own cultivation speed had increased twofold. As for his perception and affinity with light, they were just incredibly greater than in the past. Having already obtained so many benefit, he naturally wouldnt make any more unreasonable demands. That wont do. You are my chrysanthemums protector. No matter what this retainer thing is, you are fighting together with everyone. Your contribution to everyone is just obvious to anyone. If we divide the contribution points evenly, we have to divide them together with everyone, otherwise I wont ept them either. The one to speak so was Lin Xin. He immediately expressed his support to Han Yu. As far as the whole team was concerned, Lin Xins greatest impact was at presenting from the pills he could make. And Han Yus utility was even greater; for the sake of the team, he chose to focus on the aspect of healing just to make up with their defect of not having a real priest. At the same time, he had to bear hardship with equanimity, having to guard the rear and provide support. He had also an useful magical beastpanion, that Demonic Eye. With the strength of this Han Yu, if it was any other newly formed Demon Hunt Squad, he would definitely have gotten the position of heart of the team. But now, what he did instead was to focus on providing steady support within this 1st Demon Hunt Squad. And everyone had clearly seen everything he did. Thats right, if we shareem, we have to share altogether. Eldest Brother Han Yu, we can be considered as a family. Chen Yinger waved her clenched fist. She was the one who benefitted the most from Han Yus presence. Whenpleting her Creature Summoning Gate, Han Yu was continuously guarding her from nearby, sticking close for fear that she could suffer any harm. And this girl could see it very clearly. Sima Xian chuckled once again, Well said, if we divide it, it will be with everyone. At the very least, my own contribution points will definitely go to you. With your presence, I have less to be med for! Just as captain said, lets divide our contribution points evenly! Come, take mines first. As he said so, he immediately raised the sleeve of his garment. Wang Yuanyuan shrugged her shoulders and said so, I have no objection. The contribution points stuff is not so important. Haochen, you make the decision. Long Haochen smiled at Han Yus direction, You heard them. Theres no need for me to say any more, just ept, its my order. Opposing is futile. Hearing Long Haochensst sentence, Han Yu, who originally wanted to contest them some more, finally stopped trying to decline. As he pursed up his lips, he didnt voice out his gratefulness, his eyes carrying a deep feeling. _Man, using action will be better proof than some unconvincing babbling._ Long Haochen took out his testing gem, a precious stone glowing of yellow and forming an hexagon. Pulling his sleeves, he exposed this contribution points tile. As soon as he poured some spiritual energy in it, the circr contribution point tile shone, his precious gem adjusting to it, before rapidly disying his amount of contribution points. 47. This was the total amount of contribution points he got in the previous battle, and the reward for thepetition had beenpletely spent long ago. Long Haochen almost killed only Dual ded Demons, but this amount also included Haoyues performances. They had gotten rid of a total of nearly 380 Dual ded Demons in a mere hour. Caier took the initiative to extend her arm in front of Long Haochen, Estimate mine too. Through the contribution testing gem, as long as the other party consented, the device could be directly used on someone else. Spiritual energy entering it it, the tile on Caiers lotus-like arm glowed. As Long Haochen put his contribution testing gem on it, a number appeared on the other side of the gem. 25. This was Caiers total contribution points, that she immediately transferred in Long Haochens contribution points tile. In fact, Caier only killed two demons in total, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon and the Beta Flying Demon. The Dark Green Dual ded Demon was worth 10 points, and the flying one was worth a total of 15 points. It could clearly be seen that high ranked demons had quite more contribution points value. Next, everyone transferred their own contribution points to Long Haochen. Wang Yuanyuan had 36 contribution points, and Sima Xian had 31. In fact, the two of them didnt have a magical beast assisting them, so this amount corresponded to the real amount of demon they killed. Chen Yinger had 11 points, Han Yu killed three or four of them. And of course, Lin Xin didnt get any. Long Haochen had the most contribution points, but the greater part of it came from Haoyue. His three heads that released spells jointly had a formidable killing power. The final amount of contribution everyone had after adding it all up was 143. As a result, everyone got twenty contribution points. As for the three leftover points, they were left to Long Haochen for the time being, and would be distributed next time. Its cultivation training time, I want to break through the fifth step the earlier possible. Then, Ill be able to train in using a lot of new abilities. Sima Xian spoke out loudly on the side, before directly heading to his own bed. Sitting cross-legged, he immediately started cultivating. The others went to their respective beds. Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger had built a sort of temporary cabin for the time being, and although it looked simple and crude, it could still obstruct the line of sight of the others. Long Haochen pulled Caiers hand, leading her to their new home. We shall go cultivate too. Caier said softly before sitting cross-legged on the bed as well and starting to cultivate. Long Haochen started to stare nkly at her, inwardly feeling a little disappointed. He really liked the feeling of holding Caier in his arms. Idiot, for now, our cultivation is the most important. In the future, we we Caiers thin and feeble voice was transmitted to his ear. Because herst words were said in a far too quiet voice, even with his excellent hearing, Long Haochen couldnt hear her clearly. Long Haochen sat to her side, gently fondling her hair, feeling Caiers sweet fragrance. Then, he sat cross-legged as well, entering the state of cultivation. Chapter 178 - Contribution Points Equally Divided? (III)

Chapter 178: Contribution Points Equally Divided? (III)

Haoyue paced back and forth before lying on his stomach and shutting his eyes. The six eyes on his three heads started to distribute a thin purple light, concentrating a huge amount of spiritual energy aura. Long Haochen could vaguely feel that he entered the state of cultivation. A magical beast having the ability of training directly their spiritual energy by entering a state of cultivation were quite rarely seen. The overwhelming majority of magical beasts generally relied on their natural evolution to enhance their capabilities. Only, because Long Haochen didnt have much knowledge on this aspect, he never felt that it was strange. Soon after Long Haochen entered this state, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside and the door was knocked, letting out Peng, peng, peng sounds. Is Long Haochen there? Theres an army ministry order for him to immediatelye to report. These words sounded quietly, immediately awaking everyone who just entered the state of cultivation. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, jumping down from his bed. Putting on his military clothes, he became the target of the others looks. Making a small gesture with his hand, he walked to the door of their living quarters. A soldier fully d in martial attire was standing at the entrance. Looking in his twenties, he had a solemn expression. Hello, I am Long Haochen. Seeing the youth before their eyes, the soldier d in martial attire was slightly startled, because Long Haochens elegant appearance could give a breathtaking feeling. Performing a salute to Long Haochen, he dered, Please follow me, the army ministry orders you to immediatelye to report. Good. Although Long Haochen didnt understand what was happening, he gave the salute back to him. Iming with you. At some point, Caier already arrived by Long Haochens side. Long Haochen revealed a smile and , Its nothing, just go grab some rest. Ill being back soon. Having said so, he turned around before following this soldier. Caier stood there, wrinkling her brows. Only when she could not hear Long Haochens footsteps anymore did she close the door of their living quarters. Sat on his bed, Sima Xian murmured, To be calling out people sote, the military ministry is truly shameless. Lin Xin smiled and remarked, Maybe its to honor my performance of today? Under that soldiers lead, Long Haochen headed toward the city gate once again. On the way, an extremely bloody scent assaulted his senses. Obviously, during the short time that passed after they left, the battle in the city had grown all the more intense. That soldier didnt lead him to the front lines, but to a three meter high passageway behind the city walls, leading to a second floor. Having not gone to the city gate tower before, Long Haochen felt distinctly that a tremendous amount of magical essence of every attribute was present, and was currently growing frantic. Stepping into this city gate tower, Long Haochen immediately saw an astonishing scene. First of all, he saw more than a thousand mages; magic was unstoppingly being released in the front, while mages in the rear were trying to catch up. Ten groups of mages were continuously cycling on unleashing magic, with a great amount of priests and Guardian Knights in front of them. Gazing at the scene from afar, he could see that an enormous halo formed of golden light had enveloped the front of the Exorcist city walls; no enemy could climb them. But the main demon forces were omnipresent and from all ces, to the extent that a ck pack of enemies was formed in the air, . Violent rumbles rang unceasingly, and bullets of light were frantically exploding, dealing violent damage to the side of the demons main army forces. It shocked Long Haochen to the extent that he waspletely speechless. No matter whether it was on the human side or the demon side, all people seemed insignificant in this kind of battlefield. The soldier led Long Haochen, walking straight and passing by the center of the room. With a nce, Long Haochen saw that Sheng Lingxin was standing there,manding the others. Sheng Lingxin had a solemn face, his eyes sparkling with coldness. Even if there was still ten meters distance separating them, Long Haochen could feel his overwhelming killing intent. At least a dozenmanders were standing beside him, each one of them releasing an extremely powerful aura. They were at a level that Long Haochen at the first rank of the fifth step could not possiblypare to. Reporting. I brought Long Haochen with me. The soldier who led Long Haochen shouted out these few words with a specially loud voice. The nearby exploding sounds were just too loud, so if he didnt do so, he would have difficulty even hearing his own voice. Sheng Lingxin turned slightly his eyes, sweeping a nce to Long Haochen before bending forward, immediately transmitting an order. Going to his side, Long Haochen stood straight, performing a salute to Sheng Lingxin. Sheng Lingxin didnt give him a single nce and continued tomand the guardians. Call the Airborne Knight team to return, to rest and reorganise. The summoner team is to summon flying magical beast to rece them in a moment. Reporting, leader, the Brilliant Angels Knight Squadron is ready. Reporting, the Assassins of the Dark Night are ready. Sheng Lingxins eyes lit, looking at his side before saying, Rece me in conducting the defense. These demons spawns They will not give up unless we inflict heavy losses upon them. Leader, where are you going? Themander looked at Sheng Lingxin with a shocked face. Sheng Lingxin nodded, and said, In my capacity asmander-in-chief, cant I go boost the soldiers morale? I believe thats what I ought to do. Lan Yanyu. Sheng Lingxin said in a loud voice. This subordinate is there. Lan Yanyu, d in a watery blue mage gown, stepped forward toward him from a nearby position. Seeing her, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel shaken. This person was Caiers mother, so when he thought of the scene where he been seen by this Lan Yanyu sharing a bed with Caier, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel awkward. Slightly bowing forward, he performed a salute to her. Lan Yanyu didnt give Long Haochen a single look, only giving Sheng Lingxin a concerned look. Sheng Lingxin said in a deep voice, A momentter, I am going to lead the Brilliant Angels and the Assassins of the Dark Night to rush and kill the enemy in the front. After Im out, the mage regiment no longer has to economize magic power; order them to protect our two sides while using the magic cannon to cover us. Also, inform Elder Brother Gaos group that they have to get ready to provide support at anytime. Yes. Lan Yanyu immediately retrieved her staff, and slightly bowing, performed a mage salute. Sheng Lingxin gave Long Haochen a nce, Come with me. His voice was extremely cold, but especially distinct. It sounding like a gust of ice cold wind blowing in the summer. Although it was quite cold, this tone aroused his fighting spirit, and particrly awoke his consciousness. With but a single sentence, Sheng Lingxin turned around and tookrge strides, but unexpectedly, no soldier apanied him. Although Long Haochen didnt know why Sheng Lingxin suddenly called him over, this Sheng Lingxin was the suprememander of this Exorcist Mountain Pass; how could Long Haochen possibly disobey his orders? Hurrying, he followed withrge steps. Earlier, Long Haochen walked up to an upper floor, arriving above the wall on the border of the city, but now, Sheng Lingxin was leading him towards the center of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. After going down from there, arge area concentrated withrge armies appeared. It was alreadyte night; a moonless night, only litten by the magic radiances that asionally brought a little brightness to the city. With the help of this light, Long Haochen faintly saw that in the space below, a wide area seemed to be glinting with metallic lusters. Sheng Lingxins motions seemed slow, but Long Haochen needed to run to catch up to him. He noticed that every steps Sheng Lingxin took seemed to cover a veryrge distance, making him appear as though he was sliding over the ground. Below the city gate tower, Long Haochen condensed his spiritual energy within his eyes, immediately taking a deep breath. Under the stimtion of the spiritual energy, his eyes had a mysterious feeling. Everything in his line of sight seemed particrly distinct, and at this moment, he could finally see the identity of that metallic luster in detail. It was actuallying from big, majestic horses d in a thick ck armor. That armor seemed as if it could wrap their bodies in it. These tall horses were furthermore extremely robust in appearance. Elevated nearly three meters high, surpassing five meters in height, these war houses had majestic appearances. It was the first time Long Haochen saw such imposing horses. Simrly, the knights mounting these horses looked very robust. They were at least two meters tall, and were d in ck heavy armor. Their legguards, seemingly linked with the armors of these war horses, created a feeling that the man and the horse formed a single entity. The most peculiar was that at the back of these tall knights were two immense wings roughly three meters in length. They looked as if they were done ofplete metal, and on the armor at the knights back stood a pair of heavy des, pointed forward toward the horizon. Every knight had an approximately three meter long heavy de in his hand, its handle upying a third of the whole space. It was furthermore a third of a meter wide, and three patterns extended forward on the two sides. The de, as smooth as water, carried a silk of red. At that moment, a great amount of foot soldiers were standing on stairs, near these huge horses. Obviously, a lot of staff needed to be working together to d a knight that way. Because it was deep night, Long Haochen was unable to see clearly how many of these knights there were. But he could vaguely see that on each of these tall horses, another person seemed to be seated at the back. Only, they seemed less imposing and thinner than these knights, and seemedpletely concealed by the knights majestic figures. Sheng Lingxin brought Long Haochen to stand at the top of the troops, raising his right hand. Immediately, a bright light shot up, illuminating the darkndscape. Immediately, these knights that were originally still a bit noisypletely quieted down. The huge horses were standing in neat formation; because his line of sight was obstructed by the fact he was standing on the ground, Long Haochen was unable to see clearly how many people in total there were. Brilliant Angels and Assassins of the Dark Night, the savage demon spawns are attacking our Exorcist Mountain Pass. Over thest thousand years, we have never lost our homnd to any kind of foe. This general is going to stand in the front lines, cutting a bloody path out of this battlefield and aiming for their chief. Bam, bam, bam. Three metallic sounds broke out at the same time. None of the knights spoke; the entirety using the heavy de in their own hand to beat their own chest armor. Chapter 179 - Angel Vanguard

Chapter 179: Angel Vanguard

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Sheng Lingxin turned his body, looking straight at Long Haochen for the first time, These brave Brilliant Angels are all Earth Knights of the fifth step. I know you are at the fifth step too. Do you dare assault the frontlines with this general, so as to exterminate the enemy? Long Haochen stamped his right feet on the ground, performing a sincere military salute, This soldier will obey to any order. Having said so, he rapidly took out the Holy Spirit Armor from his forget-me-not ring, putting it on. The forget-me-not ring glinted with blue light, producing a particrly distinct scene in the deep night, as the faint-gold-colored decorative patterns moved rhythmically. When Sheng Lingxin looked at this scene, his pupils clearly shrank, giving Long Haochen a look that carried, in addition to the original ice-cold, a bewildered feel. d once again in his armor, which still had traces left of the previous battle, Long Haochen looked up with rapt attention. Compared to previously, his look appeared a lot sharper, the internal spiritual energy in his body having already mostly recovered. With regard to Sheng Lingxins order, Long Haochen felt actually extremely puzzled. He was indeed quite unclear on why this general of the Exorcist Mountain Pass looked for him. It was simply irrational If this Brilliant Knight regiment was charging in the front; within the neers, Duan Yi, who possessed a Golden Horned Mammoth, was clearly the most fitted! Whether it is in terms of attack or defense, his Golden Horned Mammoth was just the most suited for an assault of this kind. Furthermore, this was the Exorcist Mountain Pass. In his capacity of military chief, it shouldnt be hard at all for Sheng Lingxin to look for a powerful knight. But for him to chose to pick a tiny Earth Knight of the fifth step, what was he nning on doing in the end? No matter what he thought deep inside, Long Haochen couldnt disobey military orders. Are you afraid? Sheng Lingxins indifferent voice sounded in Long Haochens ears. Long Haochen shook his head, Reporting to general, I am not afraid. Sheng Lingxin dered with a cold face, Since youre not afraid, what are you waiting for before calling out your mount? Are you able to take responsibility for causing dy to our offense? Yes. With a glint of purple light, purple glints appeared on Long Haochens forehead. In the next instant, a radiance was projected, and Haoyue immediately appeared in front of him. Sheng Lingxins look stopped over Haoyues body, his eyes containing traces of doubt. This was the first time he had ever seen a magical beast of this kind. Long Haochen leaped up, falling on Haoyues back while directing his look toward Sheng Lingxin. Sheng Lingxins feet tapped on the ground, and he appeared like a specter at Long Haochens back. In a split second, he clearly appeared somewhat smaller, fading away from Long Haochens awareness. What a powerful assassin! Long Haochen felt inwardly shaken. _So thats the strength of an assassin of the seventh step?_ He had confidence in his own perception, but when confronting an assassin of the seventh step, he just felt that his perception waspletely powerless. Sheng Lingxins voice was cold and full of fighting spirit, rapidly sounding in the air, Operation start, assault! A rumbling sound was heard in the front, as the thick and broad terrifying door opened, a rich bloody atmosphere directly hitting his face. Behind Long Haochens back, together with a series of sonorous noises, a biting cold killing intent rushed out, appearing like a veryrge sword. At this time, Long Haochen didnt have any other choice but to ride Haoyue, appearing elegant like never before. Behind him were 3000 Brilliant Knight, forming a regiment of formidable Earth Knights, who sharpened themselves through countless experiences on the battlefield, and emitted bloodthirsty killing intent. But Haoyue seemed as if he was notpletely awake. With his four meter height, three heads standing upright and unafraid, he seemed influenced by the reeking of blood, purple ripples undting around his body. A fantastic aura spread out from his body, making the Brilliant Angel Knights at his back unexpectedly not dare to set out. In the next instant, Haoyues four sturdy limbs abruptly stepped on the ground, shooting out of the city as he carried Long Haochen and Sheng Lingxin. An intense and burning hot feelinging out from his body, Long Haochen felt as if his blood had been ignited. This sensation wasnt only produced by the fact that he stepped in such a vast battlefield, but also because of the frantic fighting spirit transmitted by Haoyue to him. Confronting the external reeking of blood and the hundreds of thousands of enemies, it seemed as though a change appeared in Haoyue. Around his three heads and six eyes appeared ripples of purple light, containing unprecedented killing intent bursting out from his own body, which produced the effect of igniting Long Haochens fighting spirit. Currently without his teammates, charging out of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Long Haochen realized that at that time, what he had to do was to fight for his own sake; to live on and return was his only goal. Rushing out from the city gate, he saw the enormous mantle of light standing forward, that iparably formidable defense enveloping the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass in it, making it so that the demons were unable to directly attack the city. But from the point of view of the regiment soldiers defending the city that previously fought by their side, this mantle of light clearly needed to pay an important cost, and wouldnt be easily released unless it is absolutely essential. And the great amount of demons that were attacking were precisely blocked by this mantle of light. At the split second Long Haochens group rushed out from the Exorcist Mountain Pass, an iparably magnificent scene could be seen. Having stopped erupting a moment ago, the offensive spells suddenly erupted all around. Close to a thousand magic radiances were omnipresent, flying out from the city gate tower and apanied with violent firing noises from the magic cannon. Immediately, arge amount of demons were exploded and turned into fodder outside of this mantle of light. As far as the eye could see, a rain of blood was falling down outside. Also at that instant, Haoyue rushed out from the mantle of light. Strong smell assaulting his nose, Long Haochen could even see destroyed limbs falling out of the blue. Recing the Holy Spirit Shield in his left hand, a bright radiance shining of blue and golden reced it in his left hand, signifying that Long Haochen decided to make use of dual swords. He wasntpletely covered by the mantle of light, but his two swords were wielded extremely rapidly. He didnt look up in the air, but with each of his moves, a flying limb flew back in the air, none falling on his body. Sheng Lingxin was currently half squatted on Haoyues back, and could distinctly see each of Long Haochens movements. Deep inside, he felt secretly baffled; naturally, he could see that Long Haochen wasnt using spiritual energy, but each of his blow was extremely urate. There wasnt the slightest waste of energy, nor was there any overused energy. This was a fine and orderly sword-y, just like a great experts. What left him the most curious was that this youth was previously clearly acting as the Guardian Knight of his squad, cornerstone of the team. But at that moment, the dual swordy he was showing off was quite decent, just as if he changed into a Retribution Knight. How could such trick be performed? There was a single reason as for why Sheng Lingxin called out Long Haochen, who just finished his mission: it was because he was Lan Yanyus husband and Caiers father. In his capacity as a father, when he got to know that his fourteen years-old daughter shared a bed with a youth of simr age, Sheng Lingxin only thought of pping this freaking kid. When the battle in the border of the city concluded, after they returned to their living quarters, they would certainly lie down side by side once again. How could Sheng Lingxin ept this? Nervously, hemanded a subordinate to call this kid out. However, even though he felt extremely furious, they were after all facing the demons main forces, so he didnt have the time to interrogate or scold intensely this Long Haochen. More importantly, Long Haochen was a squad captain, so even with his authority, Sheng Lingxin couldnt dare treat him lightly. Outside of his wrath, Sheng Lingxin also felt quite curious. Ever since his daughter became the descendant of Samsara, acting cold towards anyone else, how could she suddenly treat another youth so well, to the extent to lead to such a situation. Thus, Sheng Lingxin wanted see with his own eyes the remarkable sides of this youth called Long Haochen, by the means of a battle in this war. If this kid turned out to be a weakling or a coward, acting like trash in the battlefield, then Sheng Lingxin wouldnt mind leaving him at this point, in this ce reeking of blood. However, having seen this Long Haochen turn into a Retribution Knight, the wrath in Sheng Lingxins heart was gradually reced by curiosity. More importantly, in such a terrifying battlefield, this youth that was brought in the front of the battlefield so suddenly still managed to remain calm; Sheng Lingxin didnt feel the slightest bit of fear from him. This was not something any ordinary youth could aplish. Having be the captain of a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad, this youth he didnt seem much older than his own daughter, actually had such ability. The demon races main forces were naturally a bit shaken by the appearance of such arge attack force. At that instant, Long Haochen, who was acting as the vanguard of this Briliant Angel Knights regiment, arrived. In the instant they rushed out of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, their previously pitch-ck armor immediately lit up with a shiny and dazzling golden color, and the 3000-men army forming the Brilliant Angels Knight Regiment abruptly came out, appearing like a gigantic golden sword directly aimed at the demon army. Onerge horse after another charged at extreme speed. As fast as lightning, a flood of golden steel advanced at crushing speed. Compared to those huge horses, Haoyues body was a lot smaller. His height didnt reach half of theirs, and thus, despite the fact that Long Haochen was riding Haoyue at the top front, he didnt stand out much. A faint green color was encircling Long Haochen and Haoyues bodies. It was Little Greens Float Technique. Lightening their weight, Haoyue elerated even further, appearing not the least inferior to those vigorous horses. Having rushed out from the mantle of light for nearly three hundred meters, they finally met the enemy. They appeared even more dreadful than the ones that took part in the previous battle at the border of the city. The attacksing from the Exorcist Mountain Range didnt stop in the slightest. The rumbling magic cannons, as well as the mages, made an all-out effort to provide Long Haochens group with optimum shielding. The offense of the mages was mainly concentrated on the two sides. The Magic Cannons were aimed from afar, targeting the enemies in the air. Because of this, Long Haochens group only had to confront the enemies in the front of them. Facing them the first were a dozen of Dual ded Demons, survivors of the previous bombardment. Without need for Long Haochen to act directly, Little me unleashed some mes from his mouth, firing fireballs that exploded upon colliding with the Dual ded Demons. Long Haochen lifted up his Holy Spirit Sword high, releasing Faith Halo, Guardians Favor and Imposing Halo, three great support abilities that were simultaneously released. Their range wasnt sorge, but it was enough to envelop Haoyue and Sheng Lingxin, who stood at his side, in it. Ordinarily, Long Haochen was a kind-hearted and gentle kid, but because of Long Xingyus teachings, forcing him into training in that owl-ants nest, when he entered a situation of battle, he would totally appear like someone else. At this moment, the demon army swept up, directly rushing at these Brilliant Angels knight regiment. Hundreds of purplish-ck-colored fireballs were shot at them, covering arge area. It was precisely the Bright Magic Bullet of the Demon Eye Soldiers. Because those Demon Eye Soldiers were not all the same strength, the Bright Magic Bullets were of different sizes. Among them, at least three flew in Long Haochens direction. Without need for Long Haochen to do anything, Little Lights eyes lit up, his incantation having just beenpleted. A glint of golden light took the shape of a Light Element Shield, blocking in front of him. With a violent explosion, purplish-ck-colored rays scattered in all directions, stopped by the Light Elemental Shield. With his natural instinct, Haoyue didnt slow down in the slightest, brazenly rushing forward instead. Fireballs uninterruptedly shot out in rapid session from Little mes mouth, while Little Light was in charge of the defense and Little Green took responsibility for controlling their speed and coordinating their body. Dividing up the work, the three heads didntunch all-out attacks, exercising restraint to give priority to safety. In the front of such an enormous demon army, Long Haochen had to guarantee that Haoyue kept enough physical strength to carry them when it would be time to return. _BangC_ Before them, a violent explosion sound could be heard, and immediately, an enormous silhouette advanced in Long Haochens direction. Dual ded Demon? Looking at it, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel tense. Thats right, that was a Dual ded Demon, but not an ordinary Dual ded Demon and not even a Dark Green Dual ded Demon. At the split second it appeared, the surrounding demon forces seemed to scatter voluntarily, giving way to it. This Dual ded Demons height exceeded five meters, and it was situated over three and a half meters high in the air. Compared to it, Dark Green Dual ded Demon simply appeared like little children. On its carapace and its forehead were three glittering symbols; its whole body was emitting a dark golden metallic gloss. He could vaguely see that there was a strange glint of dark gold under its massive body. A ruler, this was a ruler among Dual ded Demons. Within demonkind, anymunity would have one acting as a ruler. And this ruler was among the most powerfulmunity chiefs. Although Dual ded Demons were simr to cannon fodder, as the most numerous race of soldiers, this Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon Ruler was obviously an iparably more terrifying enemy. From the fact that Dark Green Dual ded Demons were at the fifth step, at which step could this Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon Ruler be? At the very least, isnt it equivalent to a human powerhouse at the sixth step? You cannot stop, rush forward. Behind him, Sheng Lingxin ordered. _Thats right! I cannot stop, thousands of Brilliant Angels Knights are charging at my back. In case wee to a halt, Im afraid the allies at our back will collide against us._ Suddenly taking a deep breath, Long Haochens figure shed, standing up on Haoyues back. Haoyue suddenly bowed forward,unching his body like a catapult, aiming directly at this Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon Ruler. Intense golden light blossoming around him, Long Haochen spiralled violently in the air. In his left hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light brazenly chopped forward, striking the forelimbs of the Dual ded Demon Ruler. With a light puff sound resounding, Long Haochen revolved even faster. It could clearly be seen that arge area of golden fog surrounded his body, as he appeared like a meat grinder, resolutely striking the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon. Condemning Revolving Sword? At his back, Sheng Lingxin cried out in surprise. Chapter 180 - Three Grand Demon Gods (I)

Chapter 180: Three Grand Demon Gods (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Confronting the tyrannical Golden-Veined Demon, Long Haochen employed his most powerful attack, Condemning Revolving Sword. Having reached the fifth step of cultivation, a change of nature appeared in Long Haochen Condemning Revolving Sword, and hisprehension of it. Most of all, he came toprehend how to increase the power he borrowed; he would deepen his understanding by a farrger extent after blocking consecutive blows. Currently putting everything in his disposition to use, he appeared like a resplendent golden spiral, drawing support from the power of the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demons offense; his bodys revolving speed could not be followed by the naked eye. That wide area of golden fog was due to Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which was just revolving at an astonishing speed when fully used; ear-piercing frictions unceasingly resounded. Although the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon Ruler was powerful, its body could in the end notpare with Long Haochens two swords. While its two solid forelimbs were continuously brandished, trying to resist, Long Haochen had already left several marks on its body. Watching this scene, Sheng Lingxin felt dull. _Condemning Revolving Sword! Its really Condemning Revolving Sword!_ The great majority of people didnt know even the existence of this technique, but how could he not know about it? That reminded him of that moment, an event that urred nearly twenty years ago. ~ Elder brother Long, youre so strong! What was this blow called? How is it that I have never seen it before? You little heel, hurry up to return and cultivate seriously. Otherwise, your grandfather will beat your butt up again. Elder brother Long, tell me what this technique is called first. Is it okay to teach it to me? Okay, but return and train first. After you break through the fifth step, I will pass it to you. This is the Retribution Knight technique I personally created. Its name is Condemning Revolving Sword. Borrowing force to use it as its own, it is a secret technique for the weak to defeat the strong. Although you are an assassin, you are also a dual-handed weapon wielder, so you should barely be able to learn it. Wah, so cool! Ill definitely break through the fifth step this year! As long as you are willing to put in the necessary effort, your grandfather wont beat you up for not meeting his expectations. But you have to remember that even to a knight, an ability like Condemning Revolving Sword is only suitable to be used as a final blow. You have make good preparations before using it; if you use it from the start, youll be in danger because of yourparatively weak defense as an assassin. Furthermore, your weapons arent as long as the ones we knights use. These words rang in his ears, as if it had happened the day before. But he had not seen this tall and majestic figure for many years already. Sheng Lingxins two eyes suddenly became filled with grief as the golden light in front of his eyes turned even more dazzling. _Elder brother Long, are you alright? So many years passed since Ist saw you, how are you right now?_ __ _Condemning Revolving Sword, this Long Haochen actually really used Condemning Revolving Sword. Wait, he His surname is Long, could it be that he is_ At this point of thinking, Sheng Lingxin only felt that his whole body turned cold, and he appeared instantly shaken, as if he had been electrocuted. _If If he really is Elder Brother Longs child, how could I let him be in such a dangerous situation?!_ Thats right, at the same time Sheng Lingxin started staring nkly, Long Haochens situation was already very dangerous. The Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon was even more powerful than he imagined. With the Condemning Revolving Swords overkill attack speed in addition to its method of borrowing power to make it the users own, even if Long Haochens disy of strength was far exceeding his own level, the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon he was facing was actually not just a demon of the sixth step, but one at the peak of the sixth step, a single step away from bing an existence categorizable as a powerhouse of the seventh step. The Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon was abruptly blocked by Long Haochen, and his Condemning Revolving Sword turned out to be quite troublesome, but after slightly stabilizing itself, its pair of forelimbs erupted with iparably terrifying power. Thats right, Long Haochens Condemning Revolving Sword was good at borrowing force, but how much of such an excessive power could be borrowed? The Golden-Veined Dual ded Demons pair of forelimbs was simultaneously abruptly raised, violently producing a colliding sound and dispersing the golden lump of light formed by Long Haochens swords. In midair, Long Haochen felt a bitter feeling in his throat, and couldnt refrain from spouting out a mouthful of blood. Transmitted to him, that terrible powerpletely vibrated his body. Bang. The Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon vigorously stepped forward, pushing its own enormous body forward, so as to pursue Long Haochen. Its pair of sharp des-like forelimbs were immediately raised. If they were to really strike Long Haochen head-on, Long Haochen could only receive severe wounds. Houu A roar full of rage resounded at that moment; it was Haoyue. Red, golden, green. Three radiances were were simultaneously spurted out, forming three arrows shining of intense light condensing in the air before brazenly striking the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demons body. The Golden-Veined Dual ded Demons body was exceedingly huge, and in the air, Long Haochen had no way to avoid him. The three radiance were condensed into a thin purpleyer, violently erupting with a rumbling sound and unexpectedly exploding directly at the chest of this Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon,piercing its carapace and leaving a huge crack on its chest. But when he unleashed this blow, the radianceing out from Haoyues three heads and six eyes turned a lot dimmer. At this moment, Sheng Yue waspletely startled. Having discovered that Long Haochen seemed to have a rtionship with the Elder Brother Long in his memories, he didnt have the slightest hesitation. Turning into a pitch ck shadow, he disappeared in the night sky like a mirage, and without letting out the slightest metallic luster, a ck shape shed before disappearing. At the moment it vanished, all the water within the scope of this figure turned into ice. It was his materialized killing intent that affected the surrounding temperature at a terrifying rate. How could a damaged breastte withstand with such a sharp attack? In the next instant, a dark green liquid abruptly flowed out from the back of the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon, its enormous body falling down with a loud bang. The assassins individual attack would forever be most powerful among the Six Great Temples, to say nothing of the fact that this Golden-Veined Dual ded Demons attention had been attracted by Long Haochen and Haoyue. As a powerhouse at the peak of the seventh step, Sheng Lingxin naturally handled that Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon with a single sure-kill blow. Despotic Stab. If Caier was there, she would definitely have been able to call out what ability Sheng Lingxin used. Despotic Stab didnt only have a extremely powerful attack power; it also came with an impact power, making the Golden-Veined Dual ded Demon instantly fall out on the ground. At that moment, Long Haochen happened to be falling down from the air. Immediately, Haoyue leaped without sparing any effort, catching him in midair. Long Haochen just took a pill without the slightest hesitation; it was precisely the Energy Pill, as that jade colored pill was called by Lin Xin. A sparkling and translucent dark green color appearing at the surface of his body, Long Haochen felt a great boost of power on his body. At the same time, Little Light released a Holy Mantle falling on his body and treating the wounds on his internal organs. Are you okay? Sheng Lingxins voice sounded in Long Haochens ears. When described, this scene seemed to have urred slowly, but in reality, everything took ce in a very short timespan.From the moment Long Haochen put his Condemning Revolving Sword to use to the moment he fell on Haoyues back at the end of the battle, only a few seconds passed. At the same time that Dark-Veined Dual ded Demon fell down, the Brilliant Angel Knights charged without the slightest obstruction. At this instant, both armies shed severely with each other. After the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment charged through a long distance, enormous golden wings appeared at the two sides of their bodies. Relying on them, they reduced by arge extent the weight they put on their mount. And on their front side, this pair of golden wings was as sharp as a de. Charging in these circumstances, they could disy a formidable might, tearing to shreds demon after demon. The heavy swords in their hand struck brutally with the boost of their spiritual energy. The armies of demons attacked were instantly defeated, and everything in the path of their swords was destroyed. The Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment was truly formed of elites among the elites of Exorcist City. These three thousand knights could be said to be the most powerful troops formed of knights to be charged with the defense of the Exorcist Mountain Range. And no other Temple had such assistance power as this Knight Temple. It was truly for the best that the rtionship between the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple was the best one. Furthermore, at the back of each Brilliant Angel Knight was an assassin, or more precisely, an Assassin of the Dark Night belonging to the Assassin Temple. They were also at the fifth step of cultivation, prime examples of the saying Knight and Assassin forming a single entity as it had been said to Long Haochen and Caier. The assault of these Brilliant Angel Knights was enough to cope with all the demons under the fifth step. Even those who barely avoided the knights had no way to escape the following attacks from the Assassins of the Dark Night. Every time they ran into an opponent at the fifth step or above it, at least a dozen of shadows would immediately twinkle. In the battlefield, individual power was after all negligible. In the front of ten assassins of the fifth step attacking with full force, even a powerhouse of the seventh step would find it hard to resist unless he possessed extremely formidable equipment. At the time of this instantaneous sh, over ten thousand demons that shed against this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment fell apart. In the process, an innumerable amount of heads fell down. Im alright. Having heard Sheng Lingxins voice that seemed filled with deep concern, Long Haochen unconsciously blurted out that reply. Although he was only an Earth Knight, Haoyue was an expert at using magic, and not good with the knight-style of charging and breaking through the enemy lines. Since they had alreadye that far, Long Haochen could only make an all out effort and be the one to carry this duty. He was fighting for his own survival! You will simply have to listen to mymands and charge forward; never stop! When we encounter enemies, I will intervene personally to dispose of them. Sheng Lingxins slightly gloomy voice was heard. Yes. With these words pronounced by Sheng Lingxin, Long Haochen immediately felt the pressure on him lowering. The other mounts had already caught up with them, overtaking Haoyue. In the front, demons appeared unceasingly, and against demons of the fourth step or higher, a chillness would violently shoot out from Long Haochens side, making any of the demons in their path unable to stop them in the slightest. As for the ones with inferior cultivation level, they would be left for him to make contribution points from them. At this very moment, Long Haochen suddenly noticed something indistinct appearing in his line of sight, as the part of the demons main forces that previously shed against them seemed to have been already entirely defeated. Against all expectations, only wide open ground was left in the front. Be careful, its the Invisible Demons from the Dyke n! Sheng Lingxins voice suddenly turned grim as it was raised up. Chapter 181 - Three Grand Demon Gods (II)

Chapter 181: Three Grand Demon Gods (II)

Ctrust me, you dont want to know the title in advance; not yet at least. Long Haochen was surprised. Slightly lifting up his two swords, an intense golden me suddenly erupted, rippling around his body. In this night filled with the reek of blood, this golden me appeared like a sacred light trying to purify the surroundings. At the same time as it illuminated all the surroundings in an instant. It incidentally emitted a zing aura, seemingly cleaning a great part of the surroundings of the smell of blood. Sunlight fire. This was the ability Yang Wenzhao had previously used. After breaking through the fifth step, Long Haochen also unlocked this formidable Retribution Knight ability from the inheritance ring he received from his father. Sunlight fire had a very high consumption of spiritual energy, but was a very powerful abilitybining attack and defense. It didnt persist for very long at the time Yang Wenzhao relied on it, but it enabled him to overwhelm Long Haochenpletely. Relying on his special physique as the Scion of Light, the consumption of spiritual energy of this fully used Sunlight fire was already a lot less. More importantly, he still had Little Lights assistance as well as the pills given by Lin Xin. Long Haochen had faced these Dyke ns Invisible Demons before, but that time, it was a single Invisible Demon and no more, that almost managed to take Lin Jia Lus life. Even if at the present time, he felt slightly distracted, this was the battlefield of a real war, so one could imagine well the amount of Invisible Demons they were going to face. Seeing that they couldnt block this front, the demon army dispatched a great amount of Invisible Demons, nning to rely on assassination to weaken the power of this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment. This was obviously not the first time this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment had entered in the battlefield. Over the past battles, demons had also umted some experience in dealing with them. This was after all abination between knights and assassins, and at that moment, they had already traveled quite a distance from the Exorcist Mountain Pass, leaving the range of the priests Eyes of Truth. The formidable concealing capabilities of these Dyke ns Invisible Demons would give extreme headaches to these knights and assassins. The Assassins of the Dark Night could still rely on their own speed and concealing capabilities to evade, but the Brilliant Angel Knights just appeared like distinct targets. Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, his mental strength already increased to its peak. Moving promptly and with no hesitation, Blue Rain released a Lightning Thrust at his left side. The Hibiscus of Lights power was unleashed, hundreds of thousands of rays of lights produced in a very wide area. Ding, ding, ding, ding Repeated series of exploding sounds resounded, as a faintly discernible figure appeared in Long Haochens line of sight. Instantly transferring his sunlight fire, he immediately linked the Lightning Thrust with a Light Thorn. Ordinary Light Thorn didnt have much offensive power, but a Light Thorn used inbination with Lightning Thrust could already match Shining Sunlight Strike in power. The dazzling golden me took the shape of an enormous de before shing the air. With a pu sound, a grey-colored demon was shed in two pieces by Long Haochens strike before falling down. A slice of scorched ck color was produced by the burnt darkness on the edge of the sword. But this was just a beginning. Just at the same time Long Haochen disposed of this Dyke Invisible Demon, shing sounds could already be heard from three different directions. At this time, the reflexes that Long Haochen developed in that owl-ant cave had a decisive impact. The strength of the Dyke ns Invisible Demons was at least at the fourth step. The Holy Spirit Sword in Long Haochens hand produced countless brilliant rays, and balls shining of white unceasingly blossomed and glinted in front of Long Haochen, each of these white glitters producing a ding noise. Because he was charging at the upfront, Long Haochen naturally confronted a lot more Dyke Invisible Demons than the others. At least seven or eight of them were attacking him from all sides, but waving his pair of heavy swords, Long Haochen actually blocked all these attacks, leaving no w in his defense. At the same time, the effects of the sunlight fire were being activated, leaving more or less ashes on the bodies of these Invisible Demons. The light attribute was the best at restraining demons using the darkness attribute. The sunlight fire surrounding Long Haochens body was thus showing extreme might, burning the weapons of the absolute majority of the Invisible Demons. A circle of red mes spread out, weakening the offensive power of these Invisible Demons by arge extent. This was the Repelling Ring of Fire released by Little me. Immediately, Long Haochens two swords danced, a Light Thorn erupting from them. Light Thorns supplemented with the sunlight fire were not something these Invisible Demons had the capability to block, immediately being slice like wheat before dying in a single blow. From the beginning, Sheng Lingxin had been following Long Haochen closely, for fear that he would be sneakily attacked by one of these Invisible Demons. But when he saw that Long Haochens response was so good, he couldnt help but secretly feel impressed. What kind of perception was that? To go as far as to be able to sense the location of these raiding Dyke ns Invisible Demons and show such a fine response. But in the contrary, he didnt feel so impressed by this sunlight fire Long Haochen employed. If Long Haochen was really the son of this Elder Brother Long, the fact he could use sunlight fire was no big deal. The approaching Dyke Invisible Demons were numbering more than a thousand. Just as the knights of this Dazzling Angel Knight Regiment were in the middle of advancing, ear-piercing metallic colliding sounds asionally broke out. These Invisible Demons were indeed ferocious; they were just like assassins of the Assassin Temple, specializing in finding weak points to attack, and their speed was just astonishing. Even if the knights were d in te armor, their bodies would still be pierced. As a result, the charging speed of the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment immediately dropped down; these knights matching with the Assassins of the Dark Night could only rely on their perception and their own judgement to resist these Invisible Demons. Sheng Lingxin wrinkled his brows and dered in a deep voice, Something doesnt feel right. The demons shouldnt have known in advance when we would be rushing out; how could they deploy so many Dyke Invisible Demons to intercept us? Could it be that they had nified everything in advance? Thinking to this point, Sheng Lingxin came back to his senses. A golden ball of light was suddenly tossed from his hand, as he shouted out, Move around to the left side and return to the Exorcist Mountain Pass! In his capacity asmander of chief, although he couldnt be sure of whether his own judgement was correct, because the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment was the true elites of the elites of this Exorcist Mountain Pass, his current purpose was to pierce the enemys defenses the most possible. The purpose of the operation was to kill a great amount of enemies while intimidating the demons. At the same time, it would earn some preparation time to the mages and priests in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. But the situation unfolding before his eyes was evidently far from good. The Dyke Invisible Demons had appeared at a too great speed, so much that just after they broke into the demons forces, their killing power had slowed down too greatly. The Brilliant Angel Knight Regiments greatest superiority lied in their speed and their piercing power. In case their speed lowered, their piercing power would also lower. The demons had at least an army of hundred thousands there, so in case they were to be surrounded, without their speed advantage, even if this army of three thousand man had even greater strength, even with the match between the Brilliant Angel Knights and the Assassins of the Dark Night, they would have no way to leave this battlefield. Thus, Sheng Lingxin would rather act more prudently and was unwilling to keep advancing forward. Seeing how dark the sky was currently, he estimated that it would be hard to see the enemies reinforcementsing. Long Haochen would obviously not question Sheng Lingxins order. Because of his outstanding perception coupled with the sunfire light, the Invisible Demons would find it very difficult to bring harm to him. ordingly to his instructions, Haoyue rapidly turned to the left side before advancing; thanks to the characteristic of the sunlight fire that appeared so bright, the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment on the rear found it easier to follow him. But the enormous amount of Dyke Invisible Demons that had been dispatched was even great than Sheng Lingxin thought. Although the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment followed Long Haochen in turning around, because of the attacks of the numerous Invisible Demons, they felt as if they were sunk into a quagmire and found it hard to advance. At this precise moment, with silent incantations, Little Light ferociously flung his own head backwards, releasing out a ball of light releasing a luster appearing illusory and shooting out towards the rear. In the next instant, a faint white radiance was spread into the sky in a range of at least a hundred square meters. In midair, the white light condensed and sparkled, and immediately, a great amount of grey silhouettes became visible. Eyes of Truth? Is it really Eyes of Truth? At the same time Sheng Lingxin was greatly shocked, he couldnt help but have a whole new level of respect for this strange mount of Long Haochens. Haoyues three heads had been incessantly using magic with perfect matching with Long Haochen, as if they were a single individual. And just now, he released the ability Eyes of Truth only priests were supposed to be able to learn; how could this not shock him? In these many asions, it wasnt offensive power that was the most required, but utility. Eyes of Truths was merely a third step spell, but when used in such circumstances, it provided the best help one could ask for! The strength of the Dyke Invisible Enemies was merely at the fourth step, and this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment was formed of powerhouse of the fifth step dressed with armor of superior quality, who furthermore had the help of the Assassins of the Dark Night. In case these Invisible Demons were to be visible, this battle would just turn into a bloody and one-sided ughter. In no more but a few seconds, the integrality of the Dyke Invisible Demons within the scope of a hundred square meters died, and at least 200 Brilliant Angel Knights were liberated. Long Haochen, have your mount to keep releasing the Eyes of Truth; we have to reduce our speed. Sheng Lingxin made prompt decisions. The situation with these Invisible Demons was not settled yet, so their retreating speed was just too slow, and the demons main forces were already rushing out to this side. Yes. Long Haochen gave a short reply and Haoyue stopped advancing. Eyes of Truth were released one after another from Little Lights mouth, illuminating the entire rear. Arge quantity of Invisible Demons unceasingly had their blood to turn into a part of the soil, under the effects of the Brilliant Angel Knights weapon. Originally, the knights were very puzzled on why Long Haochen and Haoyue were ced in the most front of the battlefield, but they were now truly d it was the case. This was truly a great reinforcement worthy of the deepest respect! The fact there was actually a mount with the capability of using Eyes of Truth was of the utmost importance to these knights. This was not the first time they suffered losses because of these Dyke Invisible Demons. Admittedly, Little Light was the only one who could use Eyes of Truth But his casting speed was just astonishing! And the range his ability covered was very wide. His existence was already enough to cover the entirety of this knight squadron. Chapter 182 - Three Grand Demon Gods (III)

Chapter 182: Three Grand Demon Gods (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Having settled the problem of the Dyke Invisible Demons, and seeing that on the other side, the demon army was already rushing in their direction, Sheng Lingxin immediatelymanded Long Haochen to keep going. They had to cover a mere kilometer before entering the range of protection of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Although this attack failed, it still took out arge amount of demons, and earned some time for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. As long as their losses werent toorge, Sheng Lingxin would be able to ept these results. Just as Long Haochens mount finally turned his head and the Sunlight Fire was stopped, a shocking scene urred before their eyes. Just as they were about to return on the only path, three huge light pirs suddenly rocketed in the air. Each of these light pirs was over thirty meters in diameter. Under this pitch ck night sky, the three-hundred-meter plus pirs appeared extremely distinct. The three pirs were of different colors: the one in the middle was a zing red color, while the ones of the two sides were ck and green-colored. It looked as though a real and material pir was standing within each of these three thick light pirs. On them, inscriptions were carved, and they were decorated with magnificent designs that Long Haochen had never seen before. The three enormous light pirs released an intense oppressive aura. Blocking the only path of return, they stood in front of the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment. The situation Sheng Lingxin was the most unwilling to see had finally happened. Clearly, the demons had set up this trap long ago, waiting for the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment toe out. This trap was not of the most brilliant kind; it was only about waiting around the stumps for hares. Until now, the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment had always been the greatest threat to demons, and as the military chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Lingxin would definitely have mobilized them outside of the barrier sooner orter. After all, the knights favorite battlefield was the in, and not the defense of a city wall. The trap set up by the enemies had finally worked. Sheng Lingxin took a deep breath, entering a bizarre state. Long Haochen clearly felt that the military chief at his back waspletely dull, even more iprehensible than before. Long Haochen, you should know about Long Xingyu right? At this time, Sheng Lingxin asked Long Haochen an unexpected question. Eh? Long Haochen feltpletely baffled. Sheng Lingxin smiled humbly and dered, I really didnt expect that I would meet Elder Brother Longs offspring. You dont need to deny it. Condemning Revolving Sword was the technique Elder Brother Long created personally. Who would he teach it to, aside from his offspring? In this world, I only know three people who can use this ability, one of them is Elder Brother Long himself, the second one is you At this point, he took a pause, dering in a voice full of emotions, And thest one is me. Long Haochen turned his head to look at Sheng Lingxin and discovered that this military chief carried in his face a gentle expression, looking at him without anything else in his expression but gentleness. Mister chief, you Sheng Lingxins smile didnt decrease at all, I used to be the most faithful attendant supporting Elder Brother Long in the past. He is my idol, and in my heart, Elder Brother Longs status even surpasses grandfathers. I really didnt expect to see Elder Brother Longs Condemning Revolving Sword once again in todays battle. Long Haochen lightly shook his said, remarking, I also havent met Father in a long time. Father? So you were indeed his son. Haha, great, truly great. It looks like Caier really has good taste. Sheng Lingxinughed heartily. The three enormous and fantastic light pirs were standing nearby, but in spite of everything, he wasughing in such a situation. Mister chief, what is going on? Long Haochen felt an indistinct uneasy feeling growing bigger and bigger in him. Sheng Lingxin replied indifferently, Never mind, I just recalled some events that happened in the past. Did these demon spawn think they could annihte my Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment like that? Truly ridiculous. In a little, dont attack, and have your mount rush to the left side. I will be holding the enemy back. Yes. Honorable chief, what are these three light pirs? As Long Haochen listened to Sheng Lingxinsmand, he could still not help but ask curiously. Sheng Lingxin gave him an irrelevant reply, Is this the first time you step on the battlefield? Long Haochen nodded without thinking. Sheng Lingxin faintly smiled, his handsome face disying traces of madness, You are really lucky. The first time you set on the battlefield, you get to see personally the most powerful existences among demons. Have you heard about the seventy-two demon gods? Those are three of them. Long Haochen stared at him, totally dumbstruck. He really wanted to ask this military chief at the peak of the seventh step why he was currently smiling. ording to Long Haochens knowledge, among the seventy two demon gods, even the weakest one was a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step. Just at that time, Sheng Lingxin raised his hand, a lump of light shooting out to the sky. Traces of light spread forward, taking the shape of a dazzlingly beautiful flower in the sky. Long Haochen could currently see that in the night sky, Sheng Lingxin was using a peculiar method to transmit an order to the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment. As expected, as the traces of light spread around, the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment at their back suddenly slowed down, changing their previous assault formation to a defensive formation. All of the Brilliant Angel Knights took the same formation, no longer moving at the slightest, entering apletely defensive formation. Long Haochen hadnt awoken from the stupor he had fallen into upon hearing everything Sheng Lingxin said about the seventy-two demon gods. When he was young, he came to learn about the existence of these seventy-two demon gods; that more than six thousand years before, it was precisely because these seventy-two demon gods descended that the continent entered the dark age from the glorious era. Looking at those three enormous light pirs linking heaven and earth, he unconsciously felt as if he was extremely small. Stop. Sheng Lingxin ordered. Long Haochen hastingly had Haoyue to stop his steps. At that moment, these three light pirs started to move from the sky, seemingly moving slowly, but actually rapidly heading to their direction. As his body shed, Sheng Lingxin jumped to the ground. Turning his head towards Long Haochen, the smiling expression on his face seemed to appear a lot warmer, Remember my words, advance to the left side and leave. With your current strength, you shouldnt attract their attention. In the future, treat Caier well. You are Elder Brother Longs son, so I can be at ease. I leave my daughter to you. _He is Caiers father?_ At that instant, Long Haochen finally understood why he had to follow Sheng Lingxin in the battlefield. He was actually Caiers father, and the husband of that mage regiment captain Lan Yanyu. It was no wonder that he previously acted so coldly towards Long Haochen. It was because of his position as Caiers father! Sheng Lingxin only gave a simple exnation to him before slowly moving forward, ready to wee these three immense light pirs. Ayer of grey air condensed around his body, as his appearance turned into something close to a sharp grey-colored crystal. A pair of little grey wings resembling those of the Brilliant Knights slowly condensed at his back, unfolding gracefully before bing smaller, sticking close to his back. In each of his hands, a grey glow shone; it seemed to be a pair of grey daggers. The scene unfolding before his eyes astounded Long Haochen greatly. Under the sinister night sky, Sheng Lingxin appeared like a single wolf, weing those three peak demonsing from afar to him. The three enormous light pirs seemed to grow closer and closer; inparison to the radiance blossoming from them, Sheng Lingxin seemed really tiny. But his shoulders that did not seem so wide at first nce looked as though they were able to resist everything, to ovee this situation. Long Haochen didnt directly mount Haoyue to head off to the left side. Dazedly, he stared at Sheng Lingxin, who stepped forward in this ce reeking of blood. As for Long Haochen, he only felt as if something was choking him from the inside of his stomach. Just to breath, he already needed to exert himself physically. Without a doubt, on this battlefield reeking of blood, the sky was turning muddy. And for a mere second, Long Haochen shut his eyes. His heart was burning, his blood was boiling, his spiritual energy was igniting and his boundless fighting spirit waspletely ming. _Can I really return just like that? In front of this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment and the Assassins of the Night apanying them, am I about to go back?_ _ What about my honor as a knight? If I were to act this way, would I still deserve to be called a knight? _ _How will I ount for Caier? Will I just have to tell her that I abandoned her father and fled for my life, by myself?_ Slowly raising his head, Long Haochens eyes filled with pride, I am the son of Long Xingyu, the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Punishment , possessing the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. Even if I have to die in the battlefield by staying, how can I desert the army? Opening his both eyes once again, Long Haochens look was brimming with resolution. Haoyue turned his three heads around, looking at him, lightly nodding. Long Haochen was mentally interconnected with him, and could naturally tell out Haoyues thoughts. Because of the blood contract between the two of them, if Long Haochen were to die, Haoyue wouldnt be able to keep living. Thus, if Long Haochen didnt want to leave, Haoyue would follow him in a battle for life or death. Deeply eyeing at the distant Exorcist Mountain, Long Haochens expression softened. _Caier, if I can return alive, I will im a kiss from you._ Haoyue, lets go. Long Haochen shouted out loudly, a few pills appearing in his hand. After taking a Spiritual Recovering Pill and fully operating the power in his Saint Spiritual Stove, he could recover to some extent the spiritual energy he had previously consumed. Haoyue dashed with his four limbs, quickly pursuing Sheng Lingxin. Sheng Lingxin suddenly turned his head around, furiously asking, Why are you not leaving yet? Long Haochen stared at him with a firm and stubborn look, I am a knight. If I were to abandon you, how could I have the qualifications to stay by Caiers side? I am Long Xingyus son, and only the Long Haochen who battles to death, who doesnt abandon hisrades to flee for his life by himself, is Long Haochen. Sheng Lingxin stared at him nkly. In Long Haochens look, he seemed to see the unequalled Divine Knight of Adjudication and Punishment of his memories, galloping tranquilly on the battlefield. Long Haochens look full of determination was already telling him a lot of things, that he will never shrink back because of confronting a powerful enemy. In this instant, Sheng Lingxin felt full of regrets; why did he let this Long Haochen enter a such dangerous situation?! Chapter 183 - Sheng Lingxin Ignited (I)

Chapter 183: Sheng Lingxin Ignited (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the time Long Haochen and Sheng Lingxin were exchanging words, the three gaudy light pirs already arrived in front of them. Under each of those three light pirs, demon armies of a hundred could clearly be seen. Although they were only 300 in total, the pressure these 300 demons let out was actually not inferior to the demon army arriving from the other side. At such a close distance, Long Haochen could also distinctly see the appearance of those three demon gods. The demon god of the middle pir produced a gaudy red luster together with a dazzling glitter of golden light, but it wasnt the golden lighting from the holy attribute. It was instead a light brimming with intense darkness and ming aura. In this lump of light was a demon god more than three meters tall and reaching a height of 10 meters on the back of his war horse. d in a golden armor, with a matchless and awe-inspiring appearance, his face was actually somewhat simr to a lions, while his body looked like a humans. His face and skin were red colored. When Long Xingyu previously talked to Long Haochen about the seventy-two demon gods, he had in addition ordered him to remember about all of them. Seeing that enormous figure clearly, Long Haochen immediately determined its identity. It was one of the seventy-two demon gods, ranked fifty-second, named Allocer. As a zing Demonic Lion, he was expert in using the power of darkness and fire. Those demon gods were truly military powerhouses; although he was only fifty second in ranking, he was still an authentic powerhouse of the ninth step. The zing Demonic Lion Allocer approached from the left side. At that instant, an iparably majestic figure came out under the ck light pir. This demon also had a human body, but a bull head. On its back extended pair of ck wings made of feathers. His whole body gave off a blue jade gloss. As for the naked upper part of its body, only the word terrifying could be used to describe the python shaped muscles on it. And its height was over five meters. This one was the sixty-first demon, the Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan. On the other side, a green luster covered thest human-shaped demon; he was riding a green-colored winged horse and was shaped like a handsome man above two meters of height. But regardless of whether its the demon or his horses, their both eyes released a red-colored glitter, and green light surrounded their bodies, giving off a weird feeling. This was the seventieth demon god, the Evil Demon Rider Seere. The twelvest-ranked demon gods were at the peak of the eighth step of cultivation, while the other sixty were at the ninth step. As for the three before their eyes, they wereprised of a powerhouse of the ninth step and two at the eighth step; truly terrifying beyondpare. Each of these three demon gods had a hundred elite demons in front of them. Because of their status within demonkind, they possessed their own guard, belonging to various tribes. The Evil Demon Rider Seere had at least a hundred Dark Green Dual ded Demons obeying to his orders. As for the Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan, he had a hundred of Dual Headed Demonic Eagles as subordinates, possessing a capability of flight not inferior in any aspect to Beta Flying Demons. As for the zing Demonic Lion Allocer, he led a hundred of zing Devils, with heights exceeding three meters and their whole bodies glinting red. Three grand demon gods plus three hundred guardians. With all of them together, it simply seemed as though a natural moat was separating the Brilliant Angel Knights path of return. To force a way out would definitely not be an easy thing. Sheng Lingxins voice was transmitted to Long Haochens ear, We cannot fight them head-on. The most important thing will be to stall for time. The Exorcist Mountain Pass definitely has noticed the appearance of the three demon gods. Ten minutes; we need to resist at most for ten minutes before reinforcementse. Hearing him at this point, Long Haochen understood that Sheng Lingxin approved the fact of having him stay here. The three grand demon gods clearly didnt expect that Sheng Lingxin wouldnt have the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment tounch an assault to seize the opportunity for rushing back to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, instead keeping his troops in neat formation, defending their position to the death. As a result, their reaction slightly slowed down as a whole. Just like Sheng Lingxin didnt expect that the three demon gods would have arranged specialized troops to cope with the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment, those three demon gods didnt expect Sheng Lingxin to make such prompt decisions. Slightly pondering, they realized that Sheng Lingxin was waiting for the reinforcements from the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Consequently, these threeunched their attack immediately and without the slightest hesitation. As long as they could defeat the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment and the Assassins of the Dark Night, they would inflict serious damage to the Temple Alliance. With this objective, they ordered their private guard to rush forth. As for Sheng Lingxin and Long Haochen, why would the three demon gods give them special regard? Moreover, never would they expect that Sheng Lingxin, the military chief of the Exorcist Mountain Range, woulde out to order the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment personally. Seeing that the enemies were currently less than a hundred meters apart, Sheng Lingxin suddenly turned his head to give Long Haochen a smile, Do you know the reason why even though demonkind has the seventy two demon gods, they have never been able to genuinely extinguish humanity? In fact, the humans at the ninth step are less than twenty. Long Haochen shook his head vacantly. It is because we, humans, have preserved a great heritage from the glorious era. Also, we possess a lot of equipment demons dont have. Dont move from this ce; they are clearly overlooking our existences. I am going to meet them head on. Make your preparations to run. When I return, lets immediately run to the left side. Today, well see how long we canst, for the sake of the knight regiment. Wait, this is for you. It will unleash your potential for a brief period of time, before making you weaker for a short amount of time after using it. As he said so, Long Haochen gave Sheng Lingxin two pills; a Jade Protection Pill and a Spiritual Bursting Pill. As for Spiritual Restoring Pills, someone with over 30000 units of spiritual energy like Sheng Lingxin would clearly have no use for them. Sheng Lingxin took the two pills, directly throwing both into his mouth, before ncing at him with some astonishment, I didnt expect you to actually be wealthy. Make your preparations to rush out at full speed. Use everything you can to conceal yourself. Having said so, Sheng Lingxins tiptoes tapped on the ground, thetter floating out in the air. This time, Long Haochen didnt go together with him. He had the guts to stake his life in the battle, but would absolutely not act impetuously. Even if he had a single way out for survival, he would strive for it. In such circumstances, where none of the enemies were weaker than him, and with tyrannical existences such as three of the grand demon gods, carrying out Sheng Lingxins tactics would be the most important. Faintly, he understood what Sheng Lingxins main goal was. In a split second, Sheng Lingxins figure flew out like a bullet, bing somewhat fuzzy. Despite his astonishing level of perception, Long Haochen couldnt tell off his location at all. Among the three hundred vassals of the three demon gods, the one to take position at the top front were the Dark Green Dual ded Demons. At that moment, the nearest one was still more than fifty meters far from Long Haochen. Haoyues three huge heads were attentively watching forward, but because Long Haochen was seated on his back, he could not see their eyes. Little me, Little Light, Little Green; these three heads and six eyes had exactly the same expression. It was one that seemed to contain endless coldness and proudness, just like a sovereign controlling the whole world and looking down at his own ves. Even when his gaze shifted at the three enormous demon gods, it was still the same. Sitting upright on his back, Long Haochen immediately swallowed a Jade Protection Pill, a Spiritual Bursting Pill and a Spiritual Recovering Pill. In an instant, he felt his whole body warming up. In the Saint Spiritual Stove located inside of his own chest, the spiritual energy in liquid state seemed to boil frantically, surge after surge. Long Haochens skin was drizzling with red, and in his golden eyes, it seemed as though two mes had been ignited. This was the first time he took a Spiritual Bursting Pill, but he didnt expect this thing to have such violent effects; this boiling feeling even started to affect his own perception. _Peng._ Charging at the top front, a Dark Green Dual ded Demon suddenly jumped up, directly aiming at Long Haochen. Lifting its enormous forelimb, it was clearly trying to tear Long Haochen to shreds. KILL. Long Haochen shouted out loudly. The current him had attained an unprecedentedly rich and powerful level of fighting spirit and killing intent. His legs both exerted strength, jumping down from Haoyues back and weing this Dark Green Dual ded Demons sh. Haoyue didnt rely on knight skills to rush forward; he was expert in supporting and providing assistance in attacking. Long Haochens body soared up, and Little Light spouted out a golden light on him, applying supplementary power to his body. It was a glowing ball of me, or more precisely, it was against all expectations the sunlight fire Long Haochen used previously. This ball of sunlight fire lit up his body, igniting it while giving off an unusual impression. In a sh, a pair of swords were moved above his head,unching an attack immediately after receiving this boost of power. The Holy Spirit Sword and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light were just like two suns, illuminating the whole Earth. Under the effects of the Spiritual Bursting Pill, Long Haochens current internal spiritual energy seemed to be breaking out in fury. Dual Shining Sunlight Strikes, hitting firmly! The Sunlight Fire sent out by Little Light had the same properties as the me of lighting out from Shining Sunlight Strike. These two supplemented each other, and bybination with Long Haochens erupting state, this blow was filled with incredible aggressiveness. BangC The intersected swords in Long Haochens hands struck the Dark Green Dual ded Demons de-like forelimb. With an ear splitting shattering sound, the terrible holy energy erupted out. That Dark Green Dual ded Demons two forelimbs were unexpectedly smashed apart by Long Haochens blow, as thetter fell on the ground because of the recoil. These soldiers directlymanded by the demon gods could only be said to be even more valliant than normal demons. Even if their most proud and powerful weapon had been shattered to pieces, these Dark Green Dual ded Demon unexpectedly didnt waver the slightest bit, instead directly rushing at Long Haochen, attempting to use their firm bodies to crush him to death. A resonant dragon cry resounded at that moment, Long Haochens swords entangling with each other. At that moment, golden scales came to view, surrounding his body. Golden light swaying around, an ear-piercing grinding sound resounded, as the Dark Green Dual ded Demons firm carapace was smashed to pieces. The sharp Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights took its life in one blow. 1. these three namese from Ars Goetia mythology. And they hold the same numbers, ie , also number 70 of the Ars Goetia demons).

Chapter 184: Sheng Lingxin Ignited (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Having taken the Spiritual Bursting Pill, Long Haochens fighting strength had at least increased by twofold. Facing the Dark Green Dual ded Demons, he unexpectedly scored a kill in a very short span of time. However, even more Dark Green Dual ded Demon were at that moment rushing to his direction. At this very time, a white glow suddenly lit these Dark Green Dual ded Demons. This white glow appeared extremely abruptly, and instantly, a myriad of other white glows erupted from that one, producing ear-piercing sounds while wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, diffusing an iparably sharp aura. The Dark Green Dual ded Demons carapaces were exceedingly hard; if not for the sharpness of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, even with the boost of powering from the Spiritual Bursting Pill, Long Haochen wouldnt have managed to get rid of one of them with a single blow. At this very moment, the white glows were producing holy illumination and enveloping everything below. Everywhere it passed, those madly rushing Dark Green Dual ded Demons suddenly stagnated, their heads immediately falling down. As soon as one of these white glows traversed a body, it would be immediately prated. After a very short time, from the hundred of Dark Green Dual ded des, only forty were left; more than fifty Dark Green Dual ded Demons fell down simultaneously, more than thirty of their heads falling down. As for the few remaining ones, they received for the most part of them heavy damage,ying on the ground without any force. In midair, these white glows vanished as a vague silhouette shed sorrowfully before disappearing once again. This series of event was quite convenient to Long Haochen. Rushing forward at great speed, his swords fell on two heavily wounded Dark Green Dual ded Demons that had yet to die. Haoyue didnt stay idle either;unching bursting fireballs and light stings, Little Light and Little me were attacking at full power, helping Long Haochen to finish off the remaining heavily wounded enemies. At the asion, Haoyues heads used their sharp teeth to bite on the carapaces of the Dark Green Dual ded Demons they encountered on their way, devouring their magical crystal. As the Dark Green Dual ded Demons suddenly suffered such destructive attacks, the three distant demon gods immediately showed reaction, as the zing Devils sped up forward, and the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles covered the sky with their overwhelming numbers. Among the three of them, the seventieth ranked demon god, known as the Evil Demon Rider Seere advanced on his green devil horse, stepping on the air and rising high in the sky. The immense green pir followed Seere; it seemed as though its brightness was produced by Seeres own body. At the same time, at a close distance from where the white glows erupted, another fantastic scene urred in the air. In the air appeared entirely grey-colored crystal. Thats right, it was an approximately two meters long crystal, surrounded by a sparkling and translucent thin silver color. A zing illumination was being emitted from the zing Devils bodies, spreading all around and filled with a sentiment of danger. Wulhalu! The Evil Demon Rider suddenly shouted out as a green-colorednce appeared in his right hand, his body slightly turning back, and in the next instant, he shot the greennce, going straight for the grey colored crystal with thundering sounds. He truly deserved the title of demon god; at the time the green spear wasunched, an area of a circumference of a hundred square meterspletely turned green. At that time, Long Haochen, who was in the middle of finishing off Dark Green Dual ded Demons, suddenly felt tense, his whole body suffering the effects of that green light and feeling extremely stiff. But ayer of golden light immediately fell on Long Haochens body, making this feeling of stiffness disappear. It came precisely from Haoyue who arrived to his side; as for why Haoyue wasnt affected by it, Long Haochen didnt have the time to ponder over the matter. Wuwu. Haoyue roared these two low pitched cries. Long Haochen immediately understood his intentions, throwing a Spiritual Bursting Pill in Haoyues mouth. Little Green, who hadnt participated in attacking yet, suddenly lifted up the head. Previously, he had been continuously chanting at low pitch, and after he took the Spiritual Bursting Pill, a drizzling green radiance came out from Haoyues whole body, especially from the bulges protruding from his back, and three golden threads shot out from him. Little Green roared in low pitch, and Little me and Little Light immediately followed with their own roars, giving birth to a fantastic scene. Completely disregarding the rest of the battlefield, Haoyuepleted with his three heads a bizarre chant. Under his body, a nonagon was formed with mystical traces of sparkling starlight, a green light slowly rising. Although Long Haochen didnt know what Haoyue was doing, he stood by his side without hesitation while gazing at the nearby sky. The radiance produced by the greennce dyed all creatures located within its range, and its propagation speed was just terrifying. In no more but a sh, it pierced the grey crystal thatid in the sky. Long Haochen unconsciously tightened his body; although in this instant, he was currently focused in clinging desperately to life, when seeing that this grey crystal, Caiers father after transforming, had been hit by the attack of the Evil Demon Rider Seere, he became extremely worried deep inside. In fact, to each vocations, the gap produced by each step was just as extremely wide, because each step provided specific formidable boosts. For instance, liquid spiritual energy in the fifth step, opening of the spiritual orifices in the sixth step and transformation of the body using spiritual energy in the seventh step. As for the steps above the eighth step, although Long Haochen didnt know which changes it brought, he could still guess that it was bound to be a qualitative leap. The Evil Demon Rider Seere was at the peak of the eighth step, whereas Sheng Lingxin was at the peak of the seventh step; this was a gap of an entire step! _Puf_ A soft sound echoed, and all the personal troops of the demon gods, be it on the sky or on the ground, focused their looks on this grey-colored crystal. At that moment, a strange scene urred. The greennce suddenly turned into an immaterial breeze of wind, quietly disappearing upon hitting the grey crystal and not shaking it in the slightest. And the crystal was lit with an even more intense radiance. This was Regardless of whether it was Long Haochen or those three demon gods, they could not help but feel puzzled at looking at this scene. They were all unclear on what kind of existence that grey crystal was. Ding. A melodious sound rang, sounding just like a heavenly music. Grey shadows came out and burst forth from the grey crystal. The shadows that appeared had exactly the same appearance as Sheng Lingxins body, and in that instant, several hundreds of shadows burst forth. Each of them had an extremely oppressive aura, glinting with a sparkling grey luster. They were characterized by their speed, their wildness, and their decisive sacrifice. _Bam, bam, bam._ The speed of these shadows was overwhelming, and on their path, wide traces were left behind. Even with his perception, Long Haochen could only follow a single one of them with his eyes. He only saw that shadow flicker three times in the sky, before the formidable Dual Headed Demonic Eagles fell down from the sky. The zing Devils had an astonishing defense, but as soon as they were hit by one of the shadows, they broke down into pieces with three exploding sounds. This blows power was just too great! Even a powerful existence such as the Evil Demon Rider Seere could only go all out to parry these unceasing projectiles, using his two arms to hold hisnce. At that moment, his green horse could unexpectedly only fall back. In a blink of an eye, the Dual Headed Demonic Eagle and the surviving Dark Green Dual ded Demons were all swept and a third of the zing Devils disappeared. The violent fluctuations of spiritual energying from the shadows covered the entire perimeter with ayer of ice cold, and the grey crystal that was previously floating in the sky disappeared quietly. Lets leave. A weak voice sounded in Long Haochens ear, and he felt his back dropping; someones back was already leaning against his own. Without need for Long Haochen to order him, Haoyue immediately moved. Almost instantly, Little Green, Little Light and Little mes incantation waspleted. At this very moment, his three pair of eyes suddenly glinted with a green color. Suddenly spitting out a green me, he carried Long Haochen and Sheng Lingxin to the other side, as fast as lightning. This incantation Haoyue had just chanted had the surprising effect of temporarily changing Little Light and Little mes attributes. The current him was like three wind system mages having a fifth step cultivation level and going all out in elerating their movement. With the use of the Float Technique in addition to the push provided by the wind element forward, Haoyue was advancing in the sky simply as if he was flying, reaching an unprecedented speed in a very short timespan. But also at that moment, the three grand demon gods let out roars filled with wrath. A humiliation; it was a humiliation of the most straightforward kind! In front of the three of them, a mere human had actually decimated the overwhelming majority of their direct subordinates, using an extraordinary method. Sheng Lingxin had acted as he nned to; to earn some time to the Brilliant Angel Knight Squad, he wanted to attract the attention of the three grand demon gods. Without a doubt, he had been sessful. The three demon gods, turning into three different rays of red, green and ck, directly chased after Haoyue. Even if Haoyue was currently relying on his three heads at the same time, fully using his eleration capability and even if they set in motion with a great advance, their distance from the other party was just decreasing at an astonishing rate. Leaning against Long Haochens Holy Spirit Armor, Sheng Lingxins face was at that moment extremely pale, as ifpletely congealed. That pale white color didnt contain the slightest bit of blood, and his eyes were filled with a dark light, not carrying any of the original graceful bearing of this military chief of the Exorcist Mountain. But his eyes were currently looking extremely relieved. Thats right! Relying on the greatest part of his power, he eliminated so many demon powerhouses; it was enough of a feat for him to feel extremely proud. It wasnt only that the ability he used was extraordinary, but the main point of this attack was its sudden nature. It happened at the moment those three grand demon gods expected it the least! Otherwise, if any of those three had made preparations, the effects of that attack wouldnt possibly have been so great. Chapter 185 - Sheng Lingxin Ignited (III)

Chapter 185: Sheng Lingxin Ignited (III)

The seventy two demon gods had onemon trait, that was to have an arrogant and proud character. After having dealt with them for so long, how could Sheng Lingxin possibly not know about it? Haochen, I should really not have brought you with me. You should have been able to escape had you left a moment ago. In Sheng Lingxins voice, a fantastic chance started to appear. It seemed as if his voice was bing melodious and tender. Long Haochen seemed to be very calm at that moment, Im afraid you wouldnt have had any chance of survival had I not stayed behind. Thats right! If Sheng Lingxin had stayed behind by himself after suffering from that terrible blow, the result would have been him being directly torn into pieces by the three grand demon gods. And it was clearly only because of Long Haochens existence that he managed to stall some time, even if this amount of time was very short. Sheng Lingxins face disyed an odd smile, Although I am very dissatisfied about the fact you chose to stay behind, I believe Elder Brother Long would have been proud and content of your act. You really deserve to be his son, and to be the man Caier chose. If we can manage to escape alive from this, I will recognize you as my son-inw. Long Haochen flushed, Caier and I Sheng Lingxinughed lightly, currently having a seemingly rxed mood, and he kept speaking out, as if letting out everything he had in heart, You are already sharing a bed to sleep, what are you trying to exin to me? Long Haochen nked out; although he was only fourteen years-old, he still understood what it implied for a man to sleep together with a woman in the same bed. _Thats right! Caier and I have already reached this stage!_ A surge of warmth rose from his heart; _Caier is still waiting for me toe back!_ An intense will to live erupted out from him. Pouring his internal spiritual energy into Haoyue, he hoped to help him increase his speed. At that moment, from afar, a lump of green light could be seen running forward, followed by three enormous light pirs chasing after it. Haoyues speed had already reached the peak; he was madly rushing at a great speed, his current speed had actually already reached the standard of the eighth step! Although it was far from being sufficient, he was already exhibiting that astonishing level, to the extent that his three heads were already flowing with foams of blood. If we cane back alive, I would like to apologize about what I did to Caier. Sheng Lingxins soft voice kept channeling, I know she hates me, to the extent that she came to hate everyone in our family. But at the time she got this condition of Saint Daughter of Samsara, this order had to bemanded for the future of humanity. Neither can I oppose fathers decisions, nor do I have the capability to do so. And this was the only child I had with Yanyu; we didnt want any other child. It was because we wished to make up for the suffering she bore by giving her all the love we could. What a pity that it looks that I wont have this chance. Haochen, do you know? As of now, what I wish for the most, is to hear her call me father. The three grand demon gods were already getting closer and closer. Three hundred meters In a hundred more meters, they would enter their range of attack. The zing Demonic Lion Allocer bellowed loudly, his hair and beard spreading in all directions. A ripple of red immediately spread from the sky, enveloping Haoyue inside. Hearing that bellow, Long Haochen and Sheng Lingxin shook with their entire bodies, only feeling as if all their strength was being taken away by that bellow. As it reached Haoyues back, they suddenly started to lose consciousness A single instant before losing consciousness, Sheng Lingxin seemed to stroke something in Long Haochens breastte. The strange thing was that, at this moment, Haoyue violently stopped his steps, and after sliding violently forward, he turned around, his four limbs sticking to the ground. In Little Light and Little mes eyes, their original color reappeared. Raising up his three huge heads at the same time, a glint of purple appeared from his three heads and six eyes. In that instant, all his scales were filled with a demonic purple color. HOUUUU. Little me, Little Light, and Little Green bellowed at the same time. In the front of a powerhouse of the ninth step like the zing Demonic Lion Allocer, they unexpectedly didnt have the slightest fear, and that roar created against all expectations a purple ring. Inparison to the ring the zing Demonic Lion Allocer had released with his own bellow a moment ago, this one could only be considered to be a little drop in the ocean. Haoyue, a magical beast of the sixth step that was only equivalent to a human at the fifth step of cultivation was confronting the zing Demonic Lion demon god of the ninth step. What kind of gap was this? But in the instant Haoyue let out that bellow, regardless of whether it was the zing Demonic Lion Allocer, the Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan, or the Evil Demon Rider Seere, all these three enemies had the same reactions; to stop in their pursuit. What a weird scene was it! The three immense demon god pirs that were advancing forward, keeping a great speed, suddenly stopped, just like that. If someone could distinctly see the expression on the three demon gods faces, he would surely find out that their eyes flickered, carrying bewildered looks. With tenacious looks, they stared fixedly at the ripples produced in the air, apanied by the release of a purple light. Haoyue lifted up his head, staring coldly at them with the six eyes on his three heads, before turning around once again, and speeding up to the side. This time, his speed wasnt that great, but the extraordinary fact was that the three grand demon gods didnt chase any further, only staring firmly at Haoyues leaving figure. At this moment, a hiss sound sounded forth from the Exorcist Mountain. Clearly, a dozen of lusters came out from the Exorcist Mountain and on their owners bodies, different colored radiances were lit. The first one had his entire body glinting with pure grey, hastening forward. An oppressive shadow was extending from behind him, more than a hundred meters long, appearing just like an enormous grey dragon and rushing directly to the three grand demon gods. Behind him were ten eye grabbing silhouettes. If Long Haochen was at that moment still in a good shape enough to look at it, he would discover that these people were precisely Gao Yingjie, and the others forming the ten Temple Knights and squad leaders. They were all d with Mythril Foundation Armors, each of them emitting a silver halo under their feet, hurrying to the extent that they didnt even take the time to summon their own mounts, and dashing forward with that grey figure. In the sky, three silhouettes were still floating. Because of the high attitude, they could not be seen clearly, but at the moment these powerhouses appeared, even the zing Lion Allocer, head of these three grand demon gods, was somewhat suppressed by the shining radiances. The Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan and the Evil Demon Rider Seere stared at Allocer. At that moment, Allocer tightened his eyebrows, Lets head back and discuss about it. I wished everything we just got to see was just an illusion Just now, the faint purple glint they saw brought them a chill going all over their bones, but despite the fact that this silhouette and this purple glint were really tiny, they left their blood vessels instantly shaking in arousal. The three demon god gathered together, stepping across, each of them regaining their respective pirs, and their bodies started ascending, while the demon gods silhouettes disappeared. At the moment the powerhouses from the Exorcist City got close, the three grand demon gods had disappeared totally. All that was left was a hundred zing Devils for these powerhouses to vent off their anger. Along with the appearance of these human powerhouses, some unknown order seemed to have been passed on, making that sinister tide withdraw like a wave. The pressure on the Brilliant Angel Regiment Knight immediately lowered at that moment; they wouldnt pursue and attack unless a military order was issued, slowly retreating while keeping a defensive formation, getting ready to defend themselves against the demons in case theyunched an unexpected attack. The greatest part of the zing Devils was dealt with by a grey figure appearing in the top front. Those demons of the sixth step didnt have the slightest opportunity of resisting, instantly turning into a pile of corpses. From their bodies, only mes were left. The grey figure finally slowed down, showing its true colors. And wasnt it actually one of the auxiliary heads of the Alliance, the head of the Assassin Temple and hero of the ninth step, Sheng Yue? The slim built Sheng Yue carried at that moment an intense killing intent, but concealed within this killing intent was a shred of deep concern. Sweeping his nce over, he finally looked at Haoyue who was previously running out to the other side. His physical consumption was enormous, and his running speed was now very slow. On his body, the radianceing out had dimmed by a wide extent. In particr, the purple color that left the other party so helpless had disappeared a moment ago, leaving no traces behind. Sheng Yue naturally had a deep impression of Haoyue. Looking at him, the expression on his face changed, to a state of astonishment many of the greatest heroes would never reach. The characteristic of this magical beastpanion of Long Haochen was just too distinct; there was no other interpretation. How could he be in that ce? The three grand demon gods had appeared in the battlefield, releasing their most formidable strength. Just like Sheng Lingxin said it, they just needed to stall for a bit of time for reinforcement to arrive. If demons could scheme against humans, how could human not scheme back against them? In the Exorcist Mountain Range, the most powerful man wasnt Sheng Lingxin who was only at the peak of the step of metamorphosis. This was after all the headquarters of the Assassin Temple. The real powerhouses would only appear at the most crucial moment. Thus, at the moment chief Sheng Yue got the information, he immediately rushed to them, without any hesitation. They had been waiting for the demon gods to appear in the battlefield for so long, and although individual strength would hardly change the results of a battle, killing the enemy was was assassins were the best at. The grey figure stepped across the emptiness, and at the next instant, he appeared at Haoyues side. Looking at Haoyue, he saw on his back two unconscious people. At this moment, Sheng Yue only felt his own heart frantically tightening; the first was his own blood-rted grandson, and the chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. And the other person was even more important; it was the favorite of the Temple Alliance! Simultaneously waving both hands, he grabbed these two separately on each of his hands. Transmitting soft spiritual energy to the bodies of these two, he provided moisture to them. He didnt look at his grandson first, but the one he paid the most attention to was Long Haochen. After wrinkling his eyebrows for a short period of time, he gradually smoothed out, secretly loosening his breath. At least, this kid was all right. At that moment, the figures flying in the sky didntnd yet; above the ground, numerous knights d in Mythril Foundation Armor rapidly joined up with him. At the moment Gao Yingjie also recognized Haoyue, he immediately ran up to them, immediately blurting out, How is it that Haochen is in that kind of ce?, surprised to the extent that he forgot that the one he was questioning was a powerhouse of the ninth step! Sheng Yue threw a cold nce at him, dering in a deep voice, We will speak after returning from there. Chapter 186 - Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood(I)

Chapter 186: Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood(I)

As he said so, he carried Long Haochen, handing him to Gao Yingjie. He couldprehend perfectly Gao Yingjies mood; clearly, these Temple Knights had been dispatched for the only sake of following Long Haochen. If it wasnt for Long Haochens sake, the Knight Temple wouldnt possibly have let ten Mythril Foundation Knights lead ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads. There had been no precedent of this even in the past! From the eyes of the others, this was because many outstanding talents had appeared on the side of the Knight Temple, but only Sheng Yue knew that the fundamental reason was Long Haochens status as the Scion of Light. Thus, he handed Long Haochen to Gao Yingjie, as the most important priority was to let him confirm Long Haochens safety. Naturally, Gao Yingjie had immediately investigated Long Haochens condition. Except from being weakened, thetter didnt have any big issue, which let him loosen his breath greatly. In the previous battle opposing Long Haochen and hispanions to the demon army, Gao Yingjie had been continuously observing them secretly. As long as Long Haochen didnt encounter danger, he wouldnt act personally. And when Long Haochen returned to his own living quarters, Gao Yingjie naturally went back to rest. Upon seeing him in the battlefield once again, how could Gao Yingjie not be rmed? Just now, it was furthermore demon gods that appeared! In spite of everything, Long Haochen wasnt in danger, letting his mood improve greatly. As for the circumstances behind the fact he entered this battlefield, they would have plenty of time to investigate that after returning. After handing Long Haochen to Gao Yingjie, Sheng Yues face appeared even more rmed. Compared to Long Haochens condition, Sheng Lingxins could only be described as horrible. At that moment, Sheng Lingxins face looked as white as snow, but the most peculiar thing was that on his face, a baby-like smile was revealed. Just looking at that, Sheng Yue immediately realized what his own grandson did. Thinking in addition about the corpses of these demon gods direct subordinates they saw on the way, Sheng Yue couldnt help but feel a sharp pain. Nheless, no matter what could be said, his grandson had at least managed toe back alive after resisting these demon gods. This could be regarded as a very good luck on their side. At the moment those three grand demon gods appeared, the first thought that came to their mind was the Brilliant Angel Knight Squadron ending up defeated, and that even if they came to help, it would already be toote. In case they shed against the three demon gods and their three hundred direct subordinates, the three thousand man Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment could only end up with enormous casualties. Seeing that this time, the demons armies hadunched such a surprise attack, the results looked self-evident. But Sheng Lingxins proper decision had saved this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment from this fate. Launching an attack they would hardly be able to defend against, he broke these three grand demon gods n. If he hadnt been able to resist these grand demon gods, stalling some precious time, then the results would indeed have been disastrous. And Sheng Lingxin managed to do so with a cultivation level merely at the peak of the seventh step. As for the reason why the three grand demon gods chased after him, it was precisely because the might of Sheng Lingxins blow was alreadyparable to the peak of the eighth step. To them, killing such a powerhouse looked even more important than to annihte this Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment. More importantly, Sheng Lingxins surprise attack had enraged these three grand demon gods. Atst, with Long Haochen and Haoyues help, Sheng Lingxin managed toplete his objective. But as for him, he fell as a result into a deepa. The Brilliant Angel Knight Squadron had at that moment already retreated, retreating under Sheng Yuesmand, returning to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. As for this great attack of the demons armies, it looked that it would finallye to an end. At the time Long Haochen gradually awoke from his state of unconsciousness, he felt that his whole body wascking strength, feeling limp and painful, and that the internal spiritual energy in his body was in a weak state. He only hardly managed to move his own body. Haochen, how are you feeling? Gao Yingjies gloomy voice sounded. Long Haochens eyes gradually opened, I Im alright. Leader, where am I? As soon as he stood up, Long Haochen immediately found out the answer to his question. From this wide room, he could distinctly see that the outside sky looked as dark as before, whereas this room was quite simple. And at this moment, quite a few people were there, including Gao Yingjie and the other squad leaders. Sheng Lingxin was lying on a bed at the other side, and Sheng Yue, Lan Yanyu as well as seven or eight higher ups of the Exorcist Mountain Range were present. Great-grandfather? Seeing Sheng Yue, Long Haochen couldnt help but cry out in rm. And the way he called him left the otherspletely speechless. In particr, Lan Yanyu looked at Long Haochen inplete disbelief. Sheng Yue nodded to Long Haochen, his face looking very solemn, Im d youre okay. All right, now that Haochen came back to his senses, Yanyu, tell me, what happened in the end? Why has Haochen gone there with Lingxin? Lan Yanyu clearly looked afraid of Sheng Yue; her face appearing extremely pale, she looked at her husband, still ina, but carrying such a strange smile on his face. She couldnt help but shake violently, unable to say a single word. Great-grandfather, I was the one who wanted to apany father-inw to the battlefield. At that time, Long Haochen suddenly spoke. Sheng Yue nked out, and simrly, Gao Yingjies group couldnt help but stare nkly. Sheng Yue asked, full of doubts, You wanted to apany him to the battlefield? I just asked the others, and it looks like at that time, you have been called over by Lingxin soon after having returned from the defensive battle to your own living quarters. For which reason did you follow him to the battlefield? Dont tell me you forgot that you are the member of a newly formed demon squad; dont you know how dangerous it is to go to the main battlefield in the battle against demons? Long Haochen calmly looked at everyone and could not conceal the admiration he revealed at that moment! Ehh It was because Uncle Sheng was aware of my identity, and because he is familiar with my father. So he was concerned about my situation, and after the battle ended, he specially called out for me. It was to encourage me, and to because he wanted me to follow him in learning aboutmanding the army. Hearing Long Haochen say so, Lan Yanyu couldnt help being stunned. No one knew the reason why Sheng Lingxin called out to Long Haochen better than her. At the moment she heard these words, although no change appeared on her expression, everything happened within her. Sheng Yues face looked extremely serious, Haochen, although Lingxin is my grandson, if he did anything wrong, even if he doesnt survive from this, I will still discover it. You dont have to cover up for him; let alone him, even I dont know who your father is. I am not convinced by your exnation at all. Long Haochen shook his head, Great-grandfather, all I said was truth. It happened because I used my fathers self created technique, but uncle Sheng happened to recognize it, and in the past, he also learned it from my father. It was this way that he recognized me, and expressed the will to look after me. Letting out these words, Long Haochen astonished once again everyone else in this room. What status did Sheng Lingxin hold? He was the only grandson of a hero of the ninth step, Sheng Yue, and even considering his status and his position, he actually learned a technique from Long Haochens father? And that was a self-created technique! Who could Long Haochens father in the end be? Sheng Yue revealed a curious face, Who in the end is your father? Long Haochen took a deep breath, lowering his head and looking at Sheng Lingxin who looked as though he was in the verge of copsing, before telling him, I can only tell it to you, and no one else. Sheng Yue nodded, lifting up his right hand. A brilliance immediately surged out, locking him up with Long Haochen. A momentter, Sheng Yues expression became iparably grotesque, to the extent that he had to swallow a gulp of his own saliva, as he had apletely shocked look. No wonder Its truly no wonder All right, I believe you, please go on. So why did you set foot to the battlefield with him. Long Haochen continued, I followed uncle Sheng in the battlefield to watch the battle, and he told me about the fact he knew my father. Besides, he told me to go to rest after encouraging me. Right after going down to the city, I happened to see uncle Sheng go down as well, preparing to join the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment in the battle. Hence, I ran to him, wanting tobat alongside with Uncle Sheng. Uncle Sheng originally disagreed, but at that time, the army was already about to beunched and couldnt be dyed at all. Then, he warned me repeatedly to stay close to him, and has stayed by my side to protect me all along. What a troublemaker! Gao Yingjie couldnt help but shout out in anger, How did I teach you? Obeying the orders is a militarys duty and this is the battlefield. Do you know how dangerous your behaviour was? How could you follow them so boldly although you are not familiar with the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiments fighting methods at all? No matter whether its about yourself encountering danger or disturbing the whole regiment, I cannot forgive you this time. Gao Yingjies entire body was shaking; if he wasnt in the presence of so many people, he would definitely have pped Long Haochen. Long Haochen lowered his head, I am sorry, captain. I know I was in the wrong. Gao Yingjie coldly nced at him, Show me your contribution tile, I am going to confiscate all the contribution points you earned. Long Haochen nodded before taking off his Holy Spirit Armor. At that time, with a?Paf?sound, a book fell from his chest. Eh? Long Haochen looked distracted before picking up this book. This was a booklet that looked ordinary, but on it were written four golden characters, Raise flowers into trees. What is this??Long Haochen was absolutely sure that this thing didnt belong to him. Seeing this book, Sheng Yue and Lan Yanyu werepletely astonished. Originally, Lan Yanyu didnt understand why Long Haochen covered up the truth to Sheng Yue in such a way, but in the instant she saw this book, she immediately came to understand the importance Long Haochen held to the other party, and his fathers identity. Sheng Yue asked doubtfully, Was this book given to you by Lingxin? Long Haochen scratched his head, and replied, I dont know about it! It may be that Uncle Sheng handed it to me after I lost consciousness. Sheng Yues tone changed immediately, Until now, I have always believed everything you just said. This boy, youre just too disobedient, how could you follow him to the battlefield? Do you know that if anything happens to you, those old guys from the Knight Temple will ughter their way to settle the bill with me? As he said so, Lan Yanyus face immediately changed greatly, and the other generals looked also overwhelmed with shock. What kind of antecedent could this youngster have? Even if he was the son of a powerhouse of the ninth step, how could he leave this Sheng Yue worried to such extent. Chapter 187 - Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood (II)

Chapter 187: Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood (II)

Sheng Yue turned around, and said, Id say that we should take his contribution points and let it be. A p would be too much. If I didnt guess wrongly, Lingxin should have wanted him to get some experience by stepping on the battlefield; there was a really low probability for an event such as encountering these demon gods. And considering his cultivation level, Lingxin should have been more than enough to protect him. Its fortunate that Haochen is okay. Lets settle this matter this way. If in the future, he vites the military rules once again, it will not bete to punish him severely at that moment. Gao Yingjie was as before full of anger, but Sheng Yue was not only the Head of the Assassin Temple, he was at the same time an Auxiliary Chief of the Temple Alliance. As such, Gao Yingjie could only obey his instructions, and give his promise calmly. But now, the look he gave to Long Haochen was not as kind as in the past anymore. After looking at him apologetically, Long Haochen immediately turned around to look at Sheng Yue, asking him, Great-grandfather, how is Uncle Sheng doing? Has he been wounded seriously? Sheng Yue sighed and replied, He wasnt wounded. Eh? Long Haochen looked at him with a puzzled face. Sheng Yue said, Lingxin suffered the bacsh effect of the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood. Heh, that kid But at that moment, if he hadnt used this kind of power, Im afraid you would hardly have made it back alive. Long Haochen dered with an ashamed face, I have to be med, for having been a burden to Uncle Sheng. Gao Yingjie finally couldnt hold himself back anymore, So you realized it? If not for you, considering younger brother Shengs power, who would possibly have been able to stop him if he wanted to leave? It really makes me wonder what is good in you. -` Sheng Yue gave Long Haochen a deep nce, and dered, Stop; dont keep ming him. It was also for the sake of killing the enemy that he did this. More importantly, hes so young. Do you think it is so simple as he said just now? From my understanding of Lingxin, the fact he used the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood means that he had the resolution to die, that he wanted to let Haochene back no matter what. And in the end, he and Haochen survived this predicament; this is real proof of the positive impact Haochen had in this battle. I can ascertain for this bit., said an important officer with a sturdy build, d in a ck armor, which was precisely a Brilliant Angel Knights uniform. The only difference was that at this moment, there wasnt the pair of enormous golden wings that was previously present. Elder brother Gao, please dont me this little youngster. Actually, if not for this younger brother, this time, our army would have ended uppletely wiped out. To me, he shouldnt be deprived from all his contribution points. Because I recognize that to this Demon Hunt Squad member, even a reward of ten thousand contribution points is not enough. Eh? Hearing him say so, Gao Yingjies wrath somewhat vanished. The one who said so was the captain of the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment, a Temple Knight of the seventh step as well. But the difference was that he didnt have a Mythril Foundation Armor. Originally, we didnt understand why this younger brother followed Mister General to the battlefield. But afterwards, when we confronted the Dyke Invisible Demons, this younger brothers mount proved to have crucial utility. If possible, I really wish for him to integrate into our Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment. Immediately, thismander described Long Haochens feat in the battlefield, especially about Little Lights continuous release of the Eyes of Truth to get them out of this desperate situation at once. If not for everything this younger brother has done to help us in dealing with these Dyke Invisible Demons, that were arranged to deal with our group rapidly, and have waited for us to receive some damage beforeunching their attack, we wouldnt have made it back for real, especially against the simultaneous destructive attacks of these thousands Invisible Demons. And he broke their original ns, leaving these three grand demon gods without choice but to appear in an unprepared state, shifting their appearance to an earlier date tounch their attack. This act gave us the opportunity of making it back alive. And for having enabled us to make it back alive, besides General and his enormous sacrifice, the second one who holds this credit is this younger brother. Hearing these words of theirmander, Gao Yingjie turned over with a transformed face, giving Haochen a look, without saying anything. Long Haochen hastened to dere, How could I dare ept these contribution points? I vited the rules. I just wish for you to let me have another chance, to let me and myrades keep our status of Demon Hunt Squad in training. And I dont need any reward. Great-grandfather, what was this Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood you just spoke about? When will Uncle Sheng awake? He was now anxious about Sheng Lingxins current situation. The words Sheng Lingxin said in thest moment rang continuously in his mind. Now, he wished to help this father and his daughter to improve their rtionship. Sheng Yue said with a sigh, The Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood is known as the sixth ranked spiritual stove that can be used by an assassin, and a spiritual stove exclusive to us. Its only use is to attack, and in terms of offensive power, this Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood is among the three first ranked without hesitation. The ranking it holds is due to its side effect that is just too big. Looking at Sheng Lingxin, in a state of deep sleep, Sheng Yue kept speaking, The bacsh is as strong as the power of this Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood. Upon activation, the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood can enable one to make all his strength erupt, mixing the spiritual energy in his body with his vital force using a peculiar explosive method, giving rise to a firepower far exceeding his own cultivation level. The Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhoods evolution is also very particr; it will evolve together with its users cultivation level and his age. But the greater ones age is, the more significant the produced power is, and the more serious the aftermath will be. It is a miracle that Lingxin made it back alive. Among all the assassins who used this Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood, he is the only one who made it back alive from the battlefield. Whatever happens, this Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood can only be used once, making the users body sink into an exceedingly feeble condition. Without any fighting strength left, he fell in aa after a short span of time. Thisa willst for seven days. And seven dayster, at the time he will regain consciousness, he will remain in a feeble state, for as long as he is currently aged. The use of spiritual energy will bepletely forbidden to him, and everyday, he will regain a year of memories, and a year of cultivating experience. Based on Lingxins current age, he will need more than thirty days for his spiritual energy to bepletely restored. Further adding the seven days ofa, it will take him a little more than forty days. Hearing Sheng Yues words, Long Haochen couldnt help but sigh in relief. The spiritual stove with the biggest side effect he knew of was Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara, but it seemed that the side effect of this Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood belonging to Lingxin was in no way small! His consciousness as well as his memories had both been affected by its influence. For an entire duration of forty days, he wouldnt be able toe back to normal. This was really a move that would need its user to be ready to stake everything to use it. Sheng Yue dered, Alright, go back to your own business now everyone. Haochen, you too, go to rest. Seeing that Lingxin actually handed you this book Raise Flowers Into Trees, I must tell you to train well with it after going back. Raise Flowers Into Trees is a technique, and it will improve along with your cultivation level, strengthening over time. And even in my Sheng Family, this technique isnt passed on. After you learn it, teach it to Caier. In the past, she has never been willing to learn our Sheng Familys self created ability from me. You are the only one who can make her ept to learn it. Yes, great-grandfather. Long Haochen respectfully replied to him. Entering a state of deep thought, he went to find Haoyue. This savior of Sheng Lingxins and himself was now crawling on the side. Only, the current Haoyue didnt have a weak appearance at all, instead looking in perfect shape. Looking at him, it seemed as if his strength was inexhaustible. Long Haochen naturally didnt know that before Sheng Lingxin and him were carried back after falling in aa, Haoyue had swept through the battlefield at his maximal speed; Dark Green Dual ded Demons, Dual Headed Demonic Eagles or zing Devils were all magical beasts possessing magical crystals, so Haoyue had gotten to feast on them. At that moment, at least a hundred magical crystals were being digested in his stomach, and this digestion would take some time. And only him could dare eat so much. If it was instead another magical beast that had devoured so many different kinds of magical crystals, it would just have been full to the point of bursting. Leading Haoyue to the door, Long Haochen had a very burdened look; atst, the situation could be considered to be settled. How could he have told the truth at that moment!? This would have totally destroyed the rtionship between these two great Temples. Long Haochen knew his own position within the Knight Temple, so looking at Gao Yingjie as well as the other few Mythril Foundation Knights face, he understood that even a powerhouse of the ninth step like Sheng Yue wouldnt have had any way to protect Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyus couple from punishment, criticism, etc. Even if they werent Caiers parents, Long Haochen wouldnt have told the truth in such situation, because the most important thing was to preserve the two great Temples rtionship. After leaving, Long Haochen discovered that next to the ce they had been defending, in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, high ranked specialized healers were taking care of the injured. Which section do you belong to? No one shall pass without permission; vitors will be punished by thew. Out of the way. An exceedingly cold voice burst forth. Hearing this voice, Long Haochen was instantly shaken, hurrying to shout loudly, Caier, I am here. At that time, he had already seen that in the direction of this noise, theirrades from the 1st Demon Hunt Squad were being stopped by a group of soldiers on patrol. Hearing Long Haochens voice, Caier, who was originally full of murderous spirit, turned around, tapping the ground with the blue cane in his hand, and arrived in front of Long Haochen with a few steps. Haochen, are you alright? Caier immediately grabbed Long Haochens hand and rapidly touched his body at various parts. The others had gathered together and gone up, and looking at Long Haochen and Haoyue, their faces appeared at ease. Back then, after Long Haochen didnte back for a long time after being called by military order, Caier felt that something was amiss when thinking of the situation that happened during the day with her mother. In the end, she couldnt bear it, the others naturally didnt let her go by herself, and followed her. Im okay, Im okay. I feel very good. Long Haochen chuckled. Caier felt that although Long Haochen appeared to be in a weak state, he hadnt been wounded. Then, the ice-cold atmosphere surrounding her body finally alleviated as she held Long Haochens hand firmly, unwilling to let go of it, and said in a low voice, Lets head back then. Long Haochen calmly nodded, turning his body towards Gao Yingjie. Chapter 188 - Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood (III)

Chapter 188: Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Gao Yingjie said with a deep voice, You all, go back to rest. Long Haochen, if a situation like todays ever arises again, I will disband your Demon Hunt Squad, understood? Long Haochen hurriedly stood straight, performing a knight salute directed at him. At the present time, only Sheng Yue, Lan Yanyu and the unconscious Sheng Lingxin were left in the room. Everyone left, and Sheng Yues face immediately appeared to be colder. How could it be this old man ate a lot more salt than you have ever eaten. Although Haochen has been covering for you, this kid just doesnt know how to lie. As he had been speaking, he didnt even dare look me in the eyes. Lan Yanyu lowered her head, looking at her husband lying on the bed, full of worry.Today, I saw Long Haochen and Caier sharing a bed together and After Lingxin learned about it, he decided to test this Long Haochens ability, and to give him a good lesson, to stop him from going overboard Shameful! Sheng Yue originally didnt have a good temperament, but hearing her exnation, he instantly became greatly angered. What shit is there in your brains? Could it be that you didnt know that this old man has been personally escorting Caier to participate in the Demon Hunt Selection? If he didnt get this old mans approval, and if not for his clever scheme, going as far as to cause a dispute between our two great Temples, he wouldnt have been able to be by her side today. Let me tell you, Long Haochens importance to the Knight Temple isparable to the importance of Caier to our Assassin Temple. And just now, this kid told me that he is Long Xingyus son. You should know who Long Xingyu is? Lingxin has always been treating that Long Xingyu as his idol. What good is there in the two of you? It is fortunate that no ident urred this time. If something happened, you wouldnt only have regretted it all your life, but it would in addition have begun a tempest in the whole Alliance. Hearing Sheng Yues words, she couldnt help but stare nkly, But But he shared a bed with Caier! And hes so young. Sheng Yue said coldly, What about sharing a bed together? Isnt it a matter that was bound to happen sooner orter? And have you been waiting for the day of marriage to sleep together with this son of a bitch? In the entire Alliance, except from Long Haochen, who could have the qualifications to be with my familys Caier? More importantly, Caier has already epted him. Dont you know about Caiers temperament? Be it you or me, we have all been excluded from her heart. For Long Haochen to have managed to get a ce in it, he already surpassed all expectations. Now that I kept my eyes off Caier for a mere two days, you two have almost caused such a major issue. Lan Yanyu sounded distressed, Grandfather, I am a mother! Dont tell me that even as her mother, I shouldnt have done anything when seeing my little daughter so close to a boy? Starting from her three years-old, I didnt have any opportunity to take care of Caier, my only daughter, and was even treated by her as a stranger. Sheng Yues look gradually became gentler, and with a sigh, he dered, Each gaines with a loss. Anyway, since this matter didnt end so badly, lets put it aside. Just take good care of Lingxin. Having said so, this hero of the ninth step turned around and left. After he left Lan Yanyus sight, a helpless expression, full of misery, appeared on this almighty old man. She was after all his great-granddaughter! But he didnt have a choice. Behind the living quarters. At the moment, the sky was already ck. Dawn hadnte yet. Returning to their temporary home, Long Haochen wasnt able to say anything, immediately falling in deep sleep in Caiers embrace. Everything Caier originally wanted to ask remained unanswered. If one was to ask Long Haochen for his feedback on the previous battle, he would have a single reply, formed with the few words, _its so great that I managed toe back alive_. Demon Army Camp. Differently from the human system, demons were gathered with their kins of the same level, a clear power-rank system. But the aspect of the supervision was not meticulously taken care of at all. An army of hundreds of thousands was reunited in a t area. Because most of the demons didnt do anything productive to improve their lifestyle, only the demon powerhouses of the fourth step or above had the qualifications to have a home. Even so, their dwelling ces looked obviously very shabby for the most part. Six thousand years ago, the seventy two demon gods suddenly appeared, infecting many people in the continent and causing a war of invasion. The so-called ns all had the same position, adopting themon idea of ughtering and plundering their way while disregarding the aftermath. Along with this war thatsted over a millennium, the Temple Alliance established by mankind gradually gained a foothold, relying on natural protective screens to function as demonkinds rivals. At that time, the demon side came to discover their main issue. Among demons, the higher their level was, the slower their reproducing speed became. As a matter of fact, low ranked demons like Dual ded Demons multiplied at an extraordinary speed, almost simr to humans. And these Dual ded Demons needed at most three years to grow to adulthood. Demons had massacred far too many humans, and aside from humans, there were in addition quite a few other species that were near extinction in Shengmo Dalu. In such circumstances, after their position in the continent stabilized, demons were at a loss when they discovered that their food resources wouldntst. In a state of helplessness, demons could only assemble the surviving humans together, ordering them to cultivate foodstuff, herd livestock. To survive, any race needs first of all to fill their stomach. Otherwise, they are fated to be doomed. But although the demon territory was enormous, they had in the end killed too many humans, the biggest part of them having run off to the Alliance. The humans they managed to find were too few, so they had no other solution but to renounce to their other fields of development, so as to concentrate on food. Now, the position humans heldpared to demons waspletely different from the past, to the extent that they were now even more important than the low-end part of their own race. It went to the extent that they had gotten the qualifications to order mid-to-low ranked demons, to assist them in the production of feedstocks. Then, demons entered a state of unceasing war against the Temple Alliance, with two main goals. The first one was to plunder the humans as far as possible, and the other one was to reduce their own poption. But over the past six thousand years, humans had already gotten a perfectly firm foothold, and although they appeared somewhat disadvantaged against the seventy two demon gods, they relied on their advantage of terrain, and on their superior knowledge in manufacturing formidable weapons, withstanding one demon attack after another. Demons hated the magical cannon-type defensive weapons that left them without a way to contend against. As for them, they didnt have the ability to produce this kind of weapon. If it wasnt for the formidable military power of the seventy two demon gods, the military strength of humans and demons would cancel each other out. Nheless, until thest moment, demons had always been holding the upper hand. Humans didnt dareunch their offense to the east, to try to recover the lost territory. If they were to lose their natural protections, humans wouldnt be a match against demons. In the core of the demons main armies were three enormous camps. Each of them was ten meters high, having a diameter of at least thirty meters. Among demons, only the residence of the demon gods could be considered luxurious. At this moment, the atmosphere in the enormous tent in the middle was extremely heavy. The zing Lion Allocer was seated in the middle seat, and at his two sides were the Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan and the Evil Demon Rider Seere. Although these three demon gods were ranked above the fiftieth rank, they still held an important positions within demons. Only, they were now having extremely serious faces, seemingly full of anxiety. The Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan ferociously banged an iron table, letting out a loud bang sound, At that time, we were really foolish. We should have grabbed him and taken him back with us. If we had sent him to His Majestys ce, wouldnt everything have settled down? Grab him? Would you have done it yourself or would you have wanted me to do it? Or the Demonic Lion? The handsome faced Evil Demon Rider Seere snorted coldly. Hearing him, the insolent-looking Zagan fell silent, fear shing through his eyes. Allocer waved his hands, speaking out, Okay, okay, what use is there to say this? This piece of news is just too astonishing. If that one really came to this world, even if he never recovers his original strength, we mustnt act rashly against him. But I really hope that we saw wrongly. After all, that one should be unable to cross through dimensions At this point, the same kind of fear appeared in his eyes. Zagan gasped in reaction, Then what can we do about it? The zing Demonic Lion suddenly stood up, There will be no result if we keep having such unfruitful discussion. Lets do it like this, you two are to stay here to lead the armies and to keepunching attacks, dispatching troops below the third step. But dontunch important attacks, and keep in mind to reinforce our barracks defense. I will immediately return to His Majesty Demon Emperor to have him make a decision. The Evil Demon Rider Seere nodded and said, Yeah, I guess this is the only way. A short momentter, a thundering sound burst from the demon barracks, and a red ball advanced, heading to the east. Morning. Despite the events of the day before, the members of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad didnt have a sleep-in just for this reason. At their training level, resting was about meditating with rapt attention and having only one or two hours of sleep. In the case they didnt sustain injuries, this would be enough for them to recover. At the moment everyone was waking up and heading to the bathroom in session, the one who gave Long Haochen that military order the day before came. Only, this time, it wasnt about giving an order, but bringing them their breakfast. A?, is military treatment so good? They are even sending our breakfast to our own rooms. Lin Xin remarked curiously. The soldier who was bringing their meal smiled while putting the tes down, In view of the exceptional performance you disyed yesterday in the battlefield, the higher ups decided to provide everybody their meal ording to the priest basis. Having said so, he turned around and left. The different vocations within the Temple Alliance also ate different types of food. This wasnt about discrimination, but the main point of this distinction came from the fact their people had different types of constitutions. For instance, warriors and assassins couldnt eat the exact same type of food. Warriors needed power and endurance while assassins couldnt take on too much fat, thus avoided starchy food. And then, mages and summoners ate somewhat richer meals, because they consumed a huge amount of mental power, and had even more nutritional requirements than the others. As for priests, they ate the best type of food, because generally speaking, their bodies conditions would seem the weakest. Naturally, there was an exception to everything. For instance, the situation that was happening right now could be called an exception. But naturally, no one wouldin about having good food to eat. After washing, they immediately sat and heartily ate together. Chapter 189 - Raise Flowers Into Trees (I)

Chapter 189: Raise Flowers Into Trees (I)

The breakfast served to them in small boxes was not some wonderful tasty food, but it was very rich. Including two eggs from low ranked magical beasts that were divided between everyone, there were in addition some steaming and fragrant buns. It came together with meat soup, green vegetables and even fruits. On thest evening, their consumption was truly enormous. And they were still young teens; in a very short time, they had already finished all the foodpletely. Except from Caier and Chen Yinger who ate less than the others, the portion eaten by these youths truly surpassed the one adult warriors took. The bald Sima Xian patted his own face, I really wonder when I can go to the battlefield once again. Im not fully satisfied from yesterdays battle. Long Haochen dered, Thats right! I have to hand contribution points to everyone. Contribution points? Captain, have you gone to the battlefield once again yesterday? asked Lin Xin, full of curiosity. The day before, it was alreadyte night when he came back. Thus, Long Haochen had everyone go back to rest first, and didnt tell them about what he went through. Long Haochen looked at Caier who was standing by his side, Thats right. Yesterday, when I was convoked by our military head, it turned out that he wanted me to follow him to the battlefield. Hearing this, Caier clearly wrinkled her eyebrows. Long Haochen didnt hide anything from Caier, because he didnt want to lie to her, even if it was a white lie. But a story that was told from another point of view would cause the other party to have apletely different reaction. Our chief general is actually Caiers father. Yesterday, after she saw me sharing a bed with Caier, mother-inw should have told it to chief general. Thats the reason why I was called in the evening. And to you, they Caier grabbed Long Haochens hand, clearly bing nervous. Long Haochen smiled, Do I look like something bad happened to me? Listen to the whole story. At the beginning, uncle Sheng was really blunt and hostile towards me, making me follow him to lead the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment onto the battlefield. But during the battle, uncle Sheng recognized a technique I used, because he was in the past a good friend of my father. Then, I fought alongside with uncle Sheng, and learned a lot of things. Uncle Sheng even gave me a special technique book as a gift. The others obviously seemed full of doubts; this course of events seemed too simple. Caier lifted up her head, Thats all? Long Haochen kept speaking, Later on, when we were up against powerful enemies, uncle Sheng had to use the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood to protect me. Although we came back safely, he is now in an unconscious state. As he said so, Long Haochen had always been looking at the changes in Caier face. But he felt down, because Caier didnt have any reaction, even when hearing that Sheng Lingxin fell in aa. In the battlefield, I finished off a few demons, so some contribution points should be gained, lets share it among ourselves. In front of everyone, Long Haochen didnt say anything else pertaining to Sheng Lingxin. He knew that Caiers rancor would be hard to dispel, and that he couldnt act over-hastily, let alone the fact that it was her personal matter. Wang Yuanyuan said with an unconvinced tone, Theres no need for that. You fought at the risk of your life by yourself for these, its not like we killed them together with everyone. Long Haochenughed gently, dering, This team of ours is in an unpolished state; and dividing contribution points evenly was something I proposed. How could I not act as an example? If not for Lin Xins pills, maybe I would not have made it back alive. I think that to pass through this test and be a real team, our mutual understanding during battles will be admittedly important, but to foster the friendship between ourselves will be equally important. We arepanions, identical to brothers and sisters, and although contribution points are good, they will only have the biggest effect when used on the most important areas. Wouldnt the best be to have the seven of us to act as a whole, enjoying the benefits of these contribution points together As he said so, he took the contribution testing device, putting it on his own contribution points gem. At the time Long Haochen shared the contribution points with everyone, the others were somewhat dumbstruck, because there were really too many of them. At the time the seven of them had been battling together, everyone had just obtained a little more than twenty contribution points. And this time, Long Haochen brought more than fifty contribution points, divided with everyone in the group. In the end, everyone had a total of seventy three contribution points! Seeing the others astonished faces, Long Haochen chuckled, I have been finishing them off at the back of Uncle Sheng, killing a few dozens of Dark Green Dual ded Demons to get so many points. From my estimate, we are now the team with the most contribution points. You guys didnt see how powerful Uncle Shengs Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood was. It instantly killed several hundred demon powerhouses of the fifth and the sixth step. Chen Yingerughed happily, Its so great, at first light, we get such a good surprise falling from nowhere. I am now in a very good mood. And I even got to eat so well. Captain, its really great that I got to follow you. Sima Xianughed out loud, dering, Yinger is right. Haochen, originally, I was only sure about your strength, but now, I can only see that you are endowed with other qualities. You truly deserve to be our squad captain. It looks like there will be no opportunity for us to leave the city for the moment, what should we do right now? Long Haochen replied, Everyone should go cultivate their spiritual energy for the moment. Ill help everyone measure their amount of internal and external spiritual energy for now. Monitoring everyones internal and external spiritual energy was something necessary. Gao Yingjie told Long Haochen that the higher the cultivation rank was , the greater the need to check it, and that it would be a good habit for the future. This method would help the team greatly. For instance, if a member was close to a breakthrough, the team could buy him a suitable pill to save a lot of time while increasing the strength of the team. Quickly, the testing results came out. Among them, the one with the highest external spiritual energy was Wang Yuanyuan, reaching 524. Even as a warrior of the fifth step, this was an extremely terrifying score. The second one was Caier with a score of 446, followed that Long Haochen who had an external spiritual energy score of 396. Sima Xians score was 362 and Han Yus score was 265. As for the two magic users, their external spiritual energy was not much, not even reaching a hundred. In terms of internal spiritual energy, Caier was impressively first, her internal spiritual energy reaching 2590, which was already at the standard of the third rank of the fifth step. Further adding her status of Saint Daughter of Samsara, and even without ounting for the fact she possessed this ultimate Spiritual Stove of Samsara, she could still be regarded as the strongest of the team. In terms of internal spiritual energy, the second one was Lin Xin, having an internal spiritual energy of 2385, followed by Han Yu whose internal spiritual energy reached 2270. Wang Yuanyuan had a score of 2160, and the fifth was Long Haochen, with a score of 2095, though in practice, his fighting strength was second only to Caier; after all, he finished as the champion of the Demon Hunt Competition. The training speed of his internal spiritual energy was sufficient to astonish anyone. After all, after the fifth step, the progression of spiritual energy would be clearly slower. The sixth was Sima Xian, with a score of 1920. And Chen Yinger was at the total bottom, with a score of 1850. Thetter two had been using Spiritual Condensing Pills, making their progression quite distinct. Seeing theirrades scores and their own, everyones took the same action without consultation, staring at Caier. They had expected that Caiers internal spiritual energy would be first among everyone, but her external spiritual energy was actually even above 400, which was higher than Sima Xians before using Madness, and even Long Haochens. What kind of strength was this?! And furthermore, Caier was most likely also the youngest one of their group. After recording everyones spiritual energy in detail, Long Haochen dered, Okay everyone, lets start to train. But dont consume too much spiritual energy, because we have to be ready to get dispatched for war at anytime. Lin Xin had just obtained the corpse of a Dark Green Dual ded Demon and a Beta Flying Demon, and happened to use them to make pills. In the battlefield, the speed of consumption of pills was as fast as one could imagine. And this was something good to increase their surviving power. Although he couldnt attack, his contribution and importance to the squad wasnt any lower than any other member; his greatest natural talent came out the best in this form. For the most part, the members of the squad chose to cultivate their spiritual energy, especially for Sima Xian and Chen Yinger who hadnt liquified their spiritual energy yet, and needed to train in this field. Long Haochen pulled Caier back to their own bed. Then, he asked her in a low voice, Caier, are you not going to visit Uncle Sheng? Caier fell silent, but as before, she just shook her head, I know about the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood. He will be okay. Ill go cultivate first. As she said so, she immediately climbed up to the side of the bed, sitting on it and starting to cultivate. Looking at her tenderly, Long Haochen sat at her opposite side, but he didnt cultivate, instead taking out the book Raise Flowers Into Trees given to him by Sheng Lingxin and reading it earnestly. This technical book Raise Flowers Into Trees was thin, formed by only seven or eight pages. Long Haochen carefully skimmed through it, and rapidly, a burst of astonishment appeared on his handsome face. The technical ability Raise Flowers Into Trees was quite peculiar. It was called a technique, but it seemed closer to a method for the use of spiritual energy. It didnt possess any offensive or defensive use, but appeared extremely practical. The so called Raise Flowers Into Trees technique was actually a particr method to store energy in ones body. After using this ability, one could store in his body any ability he mastered, a bit like Storing Power worked, and after having stored it, one could instantly unleash it at any time. But during the time of storing, the user had to be in a half-meditating state, and his body couldnt move, much less fight. Afterpleting this storing, the stored ability had to be unleashed within an hour or the stored spiritual energy would scatter by itself. After the use of Raise Flowers Into Trees, the stored technique wouldnt keep using up spiritual energy nor would it affect its recovery. Having Raise Flowers Into Trees could be considered a possibility of unleashing ones most powerful ability at free cost and at any time. However, Raise Flowers Into Trees had limitations. First, it was only suited for warriors, assassins and knights. It was useless for mages, priests and summoners. Also, Raise Flowers Into Trees was the most suited to be used inbination with abilities that made ones spiritual energy erupt, and was quite unfitted for technical-type abilities. For instance, Long Haochens Condemning Revolving Sword was unable to be used inbination with Raise Flowers Into Trees, because it used spiritual energy and technical aspects jointly. But an ability like Holy Sword was particrly suited for this. After he read the entire ability book, Long Haochen pondered deeply for some time, thinking of the numerous possible uses of it. If used well, Raise Flowers Into Trees could be turned into a life-saving ability. It was truly a first ss ability. Furthermore, it was a self-created technique whose creator was no one else but the hero of the ninth step Sheng Yue. Chapter 190 - Raise Flowers Into Trees (II)

Chapter 190: Raise Flowers Into Trees (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The living quarters were very quiet; there were only asional sounds of bursts of fire and some other kinds of quiet sounds,ing from Lin Xins fabrication of pills. The others were all immersed in a calm state of meditation. In this Exorcist City, the demon armies could appear at any times, so everyone understood the importance of raising their own strength. Pressure was in this case a force, arousing ones hidden capability. It was precisely under this kind of pressure that the whole 1st Demon Hunt Squad was slowly progressing. But what Long Haochen didnt expect was that the Spiritual Bursting Pills side effect would onlyst six more hours. The weak feeling was gradually dissipating, but it didnt take twelve hours like Lin Xin said. This should have something to do with his particr physique. This moment of calm cultivation trainingsted continuously till afternoon. After eating a simr rich meal, and after everyone returned to cultivate for less than an hour, the door was knocked, and immediately, the noise associated with a military order attached to the Exorcist Mountain Pass army rang. A momentter, Long Haochen led hisrades from the 1st Demon Hunt Squad and happened to see the nine other newly formed Demon Hunt Squads. What were they nning to do by calling all these newly formed Demon Hunt Squads in the same ce? Long Haochen wasnt the only one filled with iprehension, but all the sixty young powerhouses from the Six Great Temples had a simr thought. After all, it hadnt been any more than a day after they integrated into an infantry battalion; could it be that there would already be a change? In reality, there really was a change. And this change happened because of two facts: it was first of all in respect to the performance they had during the battle of the day before. These newly formed Demon Hunt Squads had never stepped onto the Exorcist Mountain Pass before, and they were this timeplete beginners. Thus, themander-in-chief Sheng Lingxin didnt have a good idea on how it would be the most fitting to assign them. As a result, it was decided that they would train and train in the harshest position of infantry soldier to polish themselves. But the results were beyond the Exorcist Mountain Pass expectations; on the day before, when the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads were deployed for the defense of the city, they revealed a fighting strength that far surpassed the previous estimate of themander-in-chief: the losses of these infantry battalions were under a fifthpared to normal times although each battalion only had six more people. It was no wonder that themander-in-chief was so shocked by these results: these newly formed Demon Hunt Squad members were the strongest of the past hundred years. Putting everyone else aside, if it was in the past, Yang Wenzhao, Long Haochen, Caier, Duan Yi and Huang Yi could all be considered to have the strength of the absolute champion of thepetition. And this time, the Knight Temple had produced five knights of the fifth step! And the other reason was Long Haochen. Although the real situation pertaining to Sheng Lingxin was to be concealed, Long Haochens performance in the battlefield had been seen by the whole Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment as well as the Assassins of the Dark Night. And now that the head of the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment temporarily reced Sheng Lingxin in leading military affairs as the general of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he wanted Long Haochen or at best Long Haochens whole team to be transferred to the side of the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment. The night before, if not for Haoyues Eyes of Truth, perhaps not even half of the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment would have made it back. In the army, it wasnt ones individual strength that was paid the most attention to, but ones ability to provide assistance to the whole army. Even if one killed many enemies by himself, if all hispanions died in the end, he wouldnt be considered an outstanding soldier. Last night, Sheng Lingxin put the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood to use with the resolution to die, annihting a huge number of enemies before being taken away by Long Haochen, who saved Sheng Lingxins life from the wrath of the three grand demon gods. At that time, everything happened too fast. After returning, the high ranked officers didnt say much because of Sheng Yues presence, but afterwards, they discussed among themselves and determined that Long Haochen could be said to have rendered two great merits. Long Haochen was the champion of the individualpetition to form the Demon Hunt Squads, so he could naturally be considered the representative of the Demon Hunt Squads formed this year. His exceptional performance led them to attach even more importance to all the Demon Hunt Squads. Having these elites to stay in infantry battalions was just a waste of talent. Thus, a change was issued; it was to give them a new mission. As the captain of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, as soon as Long Haochen arrived, the others looks naturally fell on him. As soon as Yang Wenzhao saw Chen Yinger by his side, Chen Yinger drew herself toward Wang Yuanyuans arm without giving him a single nce. Hello Elder Brother Yang. Long Haochen took the initiative to salute Yang Wenzhao. Although these two had a rtion of fierce rivals, thispetition among those two most talented of the Knight Temple could be called a positive rivalry. Yang Wenzhao revealed a faint smile and asked, Younger brother Long, how were the crops you had yesterday? Naturally, he was asking about contribution points. With augh, Long Haochen replied, Quite good. Having said so, he saluted the captains of the other Demon Hunt Squads. Among the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads, the ones who were qualified to contest the first position of the team contest with him were only the 2nd, the 3rd and the 4th squad. The other six Demon Hunt Squads were also outstanding, but there was a wide gap between them and thetter four. The tall Duan Yis behaviour could be called serious, saying nothing more after saluting Long Haochen back. The captain of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad was that priest of the fifth step. He wasnt familiar with Haochen, but Li Xin was! She immediately came to Long Haochens side, chatting with him about the course of yesterdays battle. It was clear that in the battle of the day before, Long Haochens squad wasnt the only one to have shown a good performance. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th newly formed Demon Hunt Squads also showed astonishing strength, their killing power even exceeding Long Haochens. After all, the mage and the summoner in Long Haochens group were total misfits, so in respect to killing power, they werent likely to be the strongest among the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads. At this time, the ten squad leaders arrived together. The Demon Hunt Squad members immediately began to calm down, each of them returning to his respective group. The one who followed Long Haochen in battle the night before, whom he didnt know the name of, stepped forward by Gao Yingjies side, arriving in front of the ten Demon Hunt Squads. Hi everyone, I am Gu Jin, a general subordinate tomander Sheng. First of all, to everyones exceptional performance in the defense of the city yesterday, the Exorcist Mountain Pass would like to express you its greatest thanks. The officers and soldiers of the Exorcist Mountain Pass will forever remember everything you did for us. Hearing the words of this general Gu Jin, the youngsters revealed some excitement on their faces. To these young elites under 25 years-old of age, obtaining the approval of the military was of utmost importance. This was directly rted to the assessment of their performance, as well as the ultimate reward of contribution points each team would get in the end. To Demon Hunt Squads, contribution points were indeed of utmost importance. Having enough of them meant one could learn even more powerful secret techniques or exchange them with outstanding equipment. Naturally, it also meant they would be able to take harder and better rewarded missions, unceasingly sharpening themselves. Gu Jin dered, We have been ounting for your great individual strength and your outstanding performances, and for this reason, the Exorcist Mountain Pass decided to issue missions for each of you. As he said so, a soldier had taken out a military map from his back. The sky was growing dimmerpared to the night before. Todays demon offense had weakened greatly: fundamentally, no other formidable demon was dispatched to participate in the offense, and only the cannon fodders were rushing forward. Although they could inflict some damage to the Exorcist Mountain Range, they were far from being a threat at their current state. Under the cover of the dim night, the gate of the Exorcist Mountains Defensive Fort had been slightly opened, and immediately following, one silhouette after another advanced stealthily, nimbly slipping away and leaving the city, covered by the dim night. They werent many; all together, they were still less than a hundred. Then, the city gate was shut once more, as if nothing happened. Naturally, this was the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads that had received the missionsing from the Exorcist Mountain Pass. These young elites from the Six Great Temples formed this little group, with Long Haochen, captain of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, as the team leader and Yang Wenzhao as well as Duan Yi as sub-leaders. They were in charge ofmanding the others. The current mission wasntplex at all, to raid the replenishment supply of the demons. ording to the message of a scout, a transportation group would send supplies to the demon armies on the next day, at daybreak. Their mission was precisely to get rid of these supplies, destroying them on the spot. Outside of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, considering the terrain and the relief, mainly formed of hills, it wasnt hard to conceal such a little sixty-one-man-group at all. And precisely because the relief was excessively formed of open spaces, it was impossible for the demon armies topletely block their path of retreat. As a result, this assignments difficulty was actually not high. After all, Exorcist City would rarely dispatch troops to attack the demons logistic teams, and thus this time they should be unprepared. Making use of the darkness of the night, the sixty-one advanced noiselessly, at the side of Exorcist City. They went down all along till reaching its bottom before heading to the north, towards the demon barracks that they could see from afar. Everyone changed into ck clothes, and was d in simple clothing from top to the bottom. And even the mages werent so slow, because of the assistance of the Float Technique. Summoners and priests also obtained the assistance of the mages Float. After only half an hour, they were already 10 kilometers away from the demon armies. Over the five next kilometers, the priests uninterruptedly used Eyes of Truth to scout the surroundings, so as to make sure they werent spotted by near demons. The knights summoned their respective mounts, and the summoners called out magical beasts and the 61-man-group advanced at full speed, heading to the rear of the wide demon barracks. Long Haochen and his 1st Demon Hunt Squad were at the top of the front; Long Haochen, Caier, Chen Yiner and Lin Xin were all seated on Haoyues back. The four of them were all seated on Haoyues back; after all, nothing could be done about the fact Chen Yinger was an unreliable summoner, having no way of calling out a suitable mount. Nheless, Haoyue had a height of four meters so the four people didnt feel crowded in this situation. Chapter 191 - Raising Flowers Into Trees (III)

Chapter 191: Raising Flowers Into Trees (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin put Float to full use, reducing the weight of the four of them, so as to not trouble Haoyue too much. Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and Han Yu walked behind, relying on their external spiritual energy to sustain their movements, making it so that even if they had to walk for a whole day, they would still have no problem to keep up with the pace, to say nothing of the fact Lin Xin asionally aimed a Float to support them. The other Demon Hunt Squads had their respective methods; everyone was after all at least at the fourth step of cultivation, so their advancing speed was in no way slower than an ordinary little light cavalry. Yang Wenzhao led his 2nd Demon Hunt Squad at the rear of the group, and everyone silently kept walking forward. Two hourster, they stopped at a hill, located at a distance of three hundred meters from the demon camps. Long Haochen was now gathered together with all the Demon Hunt Squad captains, unfolding a map and relying on a mages Scouting Eyes to determine their position. Thats right, this is the ce! ording to our intelligence, this path is the one the demons logistics team will definitely take. Long Haochen pointed to a t dirt road located at the bottom of the hill, as he said so. Yang Wenzhao replied, Dawn wille in a mere hour, I believe a few of us should go scout the route while the others stay there to rest and ambush. Long Haochen replied, Our groups would be inferior to the dispatched demons. Is there a summoner with the ability of summoning flying magical beasts among us? Hearing him, the others eyes lit in surprise. This was after all the first time everyone cooperated together, and for a special military operation. For this reason, speaking of mutual understanding between them was out of the question. Yang Wenzhao pped his forehead and said, My teams Liao Yu can do it. It was quite thoughtful of you. I can have him scout the surroundings on his flying magical beast and the mages will be unceasingly epassing the surroundings with Scouting Eyes. Yang Wenzhao exined the operation to Liao Yu with a few sentences, and a momentter, a few fine flying magical beasts quietly rose to the sky before disappearing in a sh. Duan Yi said, ording to our intelligence, this logistics team will be containing approximately 3000 demons, the absolute majority being low level demons. When the time for battlees, how should we attack? Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, looking at everyone else, replying, Please voice out your suggestions everyone, feel free to say anything. Luc Xi said, I think we should attack all together. First, the mages wouldunch their attack. Then, the knights, warriors and summoners would attack all together, and the assassins would join up to aim for the enemy leader. And we, priests, would be in charge of managing the overall situation. This Luc Xi was the captain of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, leader, priest, and only one who reached the fifth step yet in Li Xins squad. Hearing his words, Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao unawarely wrinkled their brows. The other few Demon Hunt Squad captains thought for themselves but didnt take the initiative of voicing out their own opinions. I think doing so would be inappropriate Long Haochen started to talk. Why? Luc Xi looked at Long Haochen, somewhat surprised. Being 24 years-old this year, he was at the age limit for participating in this years Demon Hunt Squad Competition. He could be considered a senior among everyone here. As such, he was still a bit doubtful about Long Haochens strength; this Long Haochen appeared after all far too young. Let alone Luc Xi, all the other Demon Hunt Squad captains felt a bit unwilling to have him acting as the captain of this operation. Long Haochen said, If it was the army that operated, there would be no problem with this fighting strategy of yours, Captain Lu. But we are not the army, and the biggest problem in our group is that we are not familiar enough with each other. Under such circumstances, facing more than a thousand enemies, reaching our set objective would be something hard to do. Although we are still more than fifty kilometers away from the demons main armies, demons have air force; upon discovering that their logistics team suffered an ambush, their air force will definitely immediately report that, and as long as they manage to hinder us for some time, this mission will be very hard for us to aplish. Luc Xi creased his brow, Then how do you think we should act? Long Hoachen gave his reply, Each Demon Hunt Squad should fight on their own, breaking into the enemy troops from different locations. Their logistics team is bound to advance in a single-line formation, and since over the past days, in particr with yesterdays battle, the members of our respective Demon Hunt Squads should have gotten familiar with each other, they should at least have a beginning of coordination and tacit understanding with each other. Byunching surprise attacks from different positions, we will not disturb each other and should be able to bring out the best of our fighting strength. As long as we manage to cut off the formation of the logistics team, before setting fire to their supplies, we will be sure to causerge damage to the demons side in a very short period of time. We have to do our utmost to win this battle against time. Luc Xi remarked in a deep voice, But did you think about this: this way, some of our Demon Hunt Squads will possibly face attacks of the enemies powerhouses from all sides. Each Demon Hunt Squad is only formed of six people, what if one runs into danger under such circumstances? Long Haochen seemed to have a card up his sleeves, replying, I didnt exclude the possibility of running into such circumstances, but when the timees, each team will have to provide mutual help and protection for each other, doing its utmost to provide help. Furthermore, considering the strength of each of our groups, even if we run into a powerhouse of the seventh step, we should be able to resist for some time. But the possibility of a powerhouse of the seventh step protecting this logistics team is extremely low. More importantly, no one should forget that this battle is a part of our test. Now, what we should do is to do our best toplete our mission and to reap the most contribution points possible. To ensure our safety will be important, but this mission is also of utmost importance. To have managed to be a Demon Hunt Squad member, all of them were smart youths. And from Haochensst sentence, everyone immediately came to a realization. Luc Xis eyes suddenly glinted, giving Long Haochen a deep nce, but he did not raise the issue anymore. He secretly felt astonished, because although this Long Haochen was very young, his thinking was quite meticulous, and he responded to him in a calm and wise manner. Even more, he didnt omit the important points of their test; they had to do their best toplete the mission and reap contribution points. Without a doubt, Long Haochen arranged what was the most beneficial to them. Everyone belonged to Demon Hunt Squads, and all wished to get the most contribution points possible. If they were to act all together, they would very possibly hold each other back to get contribution points. Although Long Haochen didnt say it clearly, Luc Xi naturally came to realize this point. But if each Demon Hunt Squad were to fight in its own way, this problem would naturally not appear. Even if splitting the group like this could seem like splitting their fighting strength, in the end, because each Demon Hunt Squadbined all vocations, their surviving strength increased greatly, and fighting by the side of ones Demon Hunt Squad would at the same time arouse ones heart and soul even further. Furthermore, the ten team captains didnt follow them this time. There would be no one this time to protect them in case they risked total annihtion. Every captains eyes were already lit, and all were eager to give this n a try. Now, what they thought about was how they could enable the squad they led to kill the most demons possible. I approve of Haochens suggestion. Yang Wenzhao was the first to lift his hand. Duan Yi slightly raised his hand, I approve it as well. Luc Xi took a deep breath, Approved. The four of them immediately had the same opinion, and the other captains understood what Long Haochen meant, and theirbat n was immediately decided. All that was left to do were some minute arrangements. There was also a gap between the ten Demon Hunt Squads strength. Long Haochens group, formed of the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd and the 4th Demon Hunt Squads was ced at the battlefront. This way, they would be able to help theparatively weaker Demon Hunt Squads if necessary. The ten Demon Hunt Squads quietly separated, scattering in a hill zone, within a kilometer from each other. Their order of appearance was as is: the 5th Demon Hunt Squad would go first, followed by Long Haochens 1st Demon Hunt Squad, then the 6th, the 2nd, the 7th, the 3rd, the 8th, the 4th and thest ones were the 9th and the 10th squad. The twotter were ced rtively close to each other, and the nearest other squad to them was the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, possessing the most proficient member in the aspect of healing. When they organized this way, under the fast arrangements of the captains, their formation could be considered neat and tidy; all of them were resting at their assigned locations, calmly waiting for the target of this mission to appear. The broad and ck horizon was gradually taking on a dark blue color; when one little bird after another arrived from a distant ce. Soon, each Demon Hunt Squad got some news: their intelligence was urate; the demon logistics team wasing this way. They would arrive in roughly half an hour, and were approximately 3,000, and were mostly formed of Zelin Dual ded Demons and Demonic Eyes. All the Demon Hunt Squad members started to make their preparations, calmly surveying the scene at their east, from an elevated position. In the east, the first radiances of dawn shone brightly and a long line of demons appeared in their line of sight. Eight Zelin Dual ded Demons, each dragging the same carriage, happened to approach toward their locations. The mages of each team started to apply the ability Scouting Eyes, seeing that this fleet was formed of roughly two hundred chariots. Only Dual ded Demons were pulling them, and some sturdy other Dual ded Demons and Demonic Eyes guarded them from both sides. Only a thousand were in charge of guarding the supplies. Haochen, our observation didnt detect any problem, but it seems that theres something odd in the front of their logistics team. As Lin Xin released his Scouting Eyes, he told that to Long Haochen in a low voice. Lin Xin was incapable of attacking, but no other mage could match him on the field of support and assistance. His Scouting Eyes were a lot more urate than the others. Oh? What is the oddity? Long Haochen hurried to ask. Lin Xin dered, The other logistic chariots are leaving deep traces on the ground, but only this one leaves shallow traces on the ground. And more importantly, that logistic chariot is guarded by two Demonic Eye soldiers that look taller than the others and four Dark Green Dual ded Demons. Its as if something important is guarded inside. ording to our current deployment, this chariot will be in the scope of our group; Im afraid our situation will be quite more thorny. Long Haochen slightly touched his neck; six specially powerful Demonic Eyes plus four Dark Green Dual ded Demon; this was indeed a quite powerful group. Sima Xians eyes filled with fighting spirit, Who cares about that, lets beat them up. Wang Yuanyuan rubbed her own Divine Soul Shield, and although she didnt say anything, her three gems were immediately inserted inside, and staring at Long Haochen, she was waiting for his decision. Chapter 192 - The Bloodthirsty Beta Demon and The Mysterious Case (I)

Chapter 192: The Bloodthirsty Beta Demon and The Mysterious Case (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, holding Caiers hand Since they have something to protect, we should first of all get rid of the carriages they are guarding. General Gu Jin said that their logistics groups would rarely be attacked, because they have Beta Flying Demon corps defending, who have an extremely fast reaction speed; in case they are attacked, they will be fast to retaliate. Under such circumstances where ten powerhouses of the fifth step or above are guarding it, Im afraid the thing inside this carriage is not ordinary. As the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, this bitter work is for us to take on. Lin Xin, Han Yu, take good care of the defense and the support; in case we cannot withstand the enemies, immediately provide cover for everyone to retreat. We cant let the others down, lets attack at full power. Hearing Long Haochen say so, Wang Yuanyuan inserted the gems in her hand into her shield without hesitation. To increase their physical power when the momentes, Long Haochen, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan all took a Jade Body Protection Pill and a Spiritual Bursting Pill in their hands. Haoyue calmly crawled by Long Haochens side, his mood appearing extremely calm. But if one was to look carefully, he would maybe discover in his eyes, that his look was clearly sharper, and his eyes looked quite more ferocious. Having eaten so many demon crystals on thest evening, although he just digested a part of it, the benefits it had to his growth were not small at all. The demon logistics team approached little by little, and each and every Demon Hunt Squad soldier became particrly calm. Nevertheless, murderous intent was faintly being disseminated around them. The speed of the logistics team was in no way slow. In the demon territory, no horse-like creature was left since long ago, because all of them served as the demons food. But many good uses were found for robust creatures with fast reproduction speed like Dual ded Demons, that possessed only a low level of intelligence. For instance, they could, just like the ones before their eyes serve to pull carriages. They were not only hard-working and good at enduring hardships, but also robust, making it possible that eight Dual ded Demon pulling a huge carriage could still advance at quite a high speed. The front of their group started passing by their locations, and the other nine Demon Hunt Squads were all calmly waiting for Long Haochensmand, all mages having already prepared tounch their incantations. At the moment, they could not chant loudly, otherwise the magical fluctuations would arouse the attention of the enemies underneath, so they could only wait for the right moment. Finally, the single line formation of this logistics team passed the location of Long Haochens group, and crossed the front end of the spot where the 5th Demon Hunt Squad was ced. Long Haochen nodded to therades by his side, jumping on Haoyues back in a sh as Caier followed relentlessly, and Chen Yinger and Lin Xin also climbed on Haoyues broad back. Little me raised his head ferociously, and a fireball soared through the skies. Immediately, his thick and sturdy limbs stepped on the ground, jumping up high while carrying Long Haochens group. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian were on the left and the right, guarding Haoyues two sides, and Han Yu followed them closely in going down to score some kills. The ten Demon Hunt Squads had been storing their power for a long time, as soon as Long Haochen made his move, the other nine Demon Hunt Squads simultaneously had their mages chant muffled chants that echoed from different directions. Although they were in total only sixty, these youths belonging to the elite of the Six Great Temples were all at least at the fourth step of cultivation. Facing thousands of enemies, they didnt show any weakness, attacking from all sides. Little me, Little Light and Little Green seemed to chant at an synchronised rhythm, producing a particr melody. If at that moment, a powerhouse of the seventh step or above had been there, he would definitely have been crying out in astonishment. This incantation was clearly exclusive to a certain race. And this kind of incantation was one only the specially powerful individuals of this race could know of. It was like, for instance, the high ranked elvish magic of the former highest ranked elves, or the ultimate chants in dragonnguage. But at that moment, no one in Shengmo Dalu would possibly be able to tell what his chant was. The fireball Haoyueunched had already rmed the demons below. At first, these demons were clearly going frantic, and these Dual ded Demons pulling the carts stopped in session, but their bodies were tied to these carriages, so for them, it would in no way be easy to take them off. And the demons in charge of guarding them moved in session, confronting the ten Demon Hunt Squads going down. Long Haochen stood calmly on Haoyues back, his body surrounded by a yellow golden fog, which was precisely the technical ability Storing Power. In both of his hands he had no shield, only two heavy swords, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light and his Holy Spirit Sword. A circle-shaped halo spread from behind; Faith Halo, Guardians Favor, Imposing Halo fell on everyones body, preciselying from Han Yu. The reason why this time Long Haochen didnt use his Holy Spirit Set was that during this mission, the most important thing was to annihte the enemies; to crush these ten powerful enemies Lin Xin spoke of earlier. At the time he went down from the hills, he discerned their objective. That carriage was indeed specially distinct; ordinary Demonic Eyes would only have a height of roughly two meters and have six eyes, but each of the six Demonic Eyes guarding this carriage had at least a height of 2.5 meters, appearing particrly immense, and on their heads were not only six eyes but eight of them. An unusual light was unceasingly flickering from their direction. _Bang, bang, bang_ - Violent exploding sounds simultaneously erupted from all sides of the battlefield. The mages of the other Demon Hunt Squads had started their assault, and on Long Haochens side, no important results were achieved yet, because Haoyues incantation hadnt beenpleted yet. Chen Yinger hadnt started her melodious chant yet. She was only sitting on Haoyues back, in silence, as if she was waiting for something to happen. Dozens of Dual ded Demons weed Long Haochens group, and in this instant, Wang Yuanyuan made her move. Her left foot ferociously stomped the ground, making her instantly elerate, and as her body was lit by a silvery light, it seemed to appear even swifter and swifter. In her hand, the embedded Gigantic Divine Soul Shield burst out with an intense light, and along with a wave of Wang Yuanyuans hand, this enormous shield darted across, passing through the rotten surroundings and killing the encountered Dual ded Demons. The Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was really too terrifying. The Dual ded Demons were well known for their strength, but appeared as frail as paper in front of her. Everywhere the gigantic shield passed, blood spattered all cross, making broken limbs flying all around, and in no time, nothing was left from the dozen of Dual ded Demons. The enormous shield circled around, leaving nothing behind before returning once again to Wang Yuanyuans hand. With the power of this series of blows, Haoyues charge was naturally not stopped the slightest bit, and the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad kept piercing the demons formation ruthlessly, appearing like a sharp dagger digging deep inside of it. Dozens of dark purple colored fireballs flocked from every direction, aiming at them. It was precisely the disy of power of the Demonic Eye Soldiers leading the guard of this logistics group. Although these Demonic Eye Soldiers were only capable of using a single ability, Bright Magic Bullet, they could use it once again after only three to five seconds, without need for any incantation. This was their innate magic, which produced these dozens of joint Bright Magic Bullets carrying an intense darkness aura assaulting their senses. A golden mantle extended immediately; it was Holy Illuminationʥ, an area of effect defensive ability that could be used by Guardian Knights of the fifth step, letting a golden mantle envelop everyone inside, as the bombardment of these magic bullets could only leave a few circles of gold at it. Before leaving Holy City, Han Yu once consulted the Saint Knight Head Han Qian for a long time. Now , a ring was on his finger; it was Han Qians Inheritance Ring. Inside a great amount of formidable abilities useable by Guardian Knights were recorded. Han Qian wasnt sure if this was something Han Yu desired to obtain, but at least, after having gotten this Inheritance Ring, Han Yu didnt need to worry about learning skills anymore, and in the future, he would be able to focus on his development as well as the future secret techniques he would choose on the aspect of healing. Pertaining to the abilities oriented on the aspects of attack and defense, his grandfathers Inheritance Ring was already far enough. Holy Illuminations resistance could almost match mono-utilisation Light Elemental Shields, and had a particrly great restraining power against darkness magic; it could be said that there was nothing better than that to cope with the Demonic Eye Soldiers attacks. Lin Xin who was originally prepared to unleash his defensive magic immediately chose to keep it for the moment, his fire cloud crystal glinting brilliantly. Everyone had in the end still not fought enough together, they were still far from a level of mutual understanding. But precisely because of this reason, to sharpen their coordination was even more important to them. Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan were just like two sharp and long des, piercing the enemy ranks and annihting the approaching Dual ded Demons. Having taken the Jade Body Protection Pill, their attack was already iparably violent. The two of them were in the top front, ughtering the enemies and heading toward their objectives, the carriages. Because the demon logistics team was arranged in a single-line formation, advancing forward, they could only have these Dual ded Demons defend on two sides, and their enemies were already about to arrive in front of these carriages. Even the Demonic Eye Soldiers werent able to slow them the slightest bit down. Relying on these three long legs, their fighting method focused on the action of battling as they retreated alternately. But because of the defensive effects of Holy Illumination, they could temporarily not have much influence. Seeing the carriages getting encircled, along with hiss-sounding bellows, four dark green-colored silhouettes outrageously stepped forward, six immense purple ck colored fireballs condensing on their back. They were precisely the demon powerhouses guarding the carriage, and starting the counter offense. Facing four Dark Green Dual ded Demons at the same time was no new experience for Long Haochens group. Wang Yuanyuan didnt have the slightest hesitation. After having embedded her three gems in the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, her fighting strength had reached the peak, but it wouldntst for too long. At that asion, she naturally did her best to exploit her fullpower fighting strength. Her strong silver radiance turned into a thick silver pir of light, fiercely bombarding a Dark Green Dual ded Demon. This Dark Green Dual ded Demon originally wanted to use its own two sturdy and powerful limbs, but this was obviously futile. Its robust body had been sent flying to the direction of the crowd of ordinary Demonic Eye Soldiers, knocking down a few of them. Although it hadnt died yet, it suffered quite severe wounds. This was precisely the Gigantic Divine Soul Shields supplementary Space-Splitting Saut. On the other side, Sima Xian didnt stay idle either. A red glint suddenly filled the air, and after entering madness mode, he ferociously waved the staff in his hands, weing a Dark Green Dual ded Demon and loudly striking it, simply sending it flying back with a single strike. Chapter 193 - The Bloodthirsty Beta Demon and The Mysterious Case (II)

Chapter 193: The Bloodthirsty Beta Demon and The Mysterious Case (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At that very moment, Long Haochen, who had been continuously using Storing Power, made his move. His body abruptly shot out from Haoyues back, his two swords d in gaudy white light; it was precisely a dual Holy Sword, produced with formidable stored spiritual energy, that he aimed at the two Dark Green Dual ded Demons simultaneously rushing to his direction. _DangC _ With ear-piercing exploding sounds, Long Haochens jumping figure abruptly stopped in midair, and with an illusory wave of his hand, a sharp and clear colliding sound resounded; those two Dark Green Dual ded Demons had been both blocked by him. This scene seemed extremely hard to believe. Long Haochens body glinted with dazzling golden light; it was the radiance associated with Bright Vengeance. In midair, he surprisingly used Divine Obstruction. He managed to aplish the feat of activating Divine Obstructions prerequisite in the short instant he came to a halt. More importantly, although Long Haochens body had been slightly repelled, it was only pushed back by a meter, and he just rolled once in the air toe back to a stable posture, and with his left hand, he aimed Lightning Thrust at the Dark Green Dual ded Demon to the right while aiming a Shining Sunlight Strike coupled with Holy Sword to the other one. The current Long Haochen appeared like a deity descending from the heavens. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light erupted with hundreds of thousands of white rays, and that valiant Dark Green Dual ded Demon had no choice but to give up on attacking. Waving its two forelimbs in ast attempt, it tried to block. As for that other Dark Green Dual ded Demon, it tried to parry as well, lifting its arm. _BangC _ The Holy Spirit Sword, which carried Bright Vengeance and Holy Sword, fiercely struck at the forelimbs of the Dark Green Dual ded on the right side, producing ear-splitting shattering sounds, and actually rupturing that Dark Green Dual ded Demons forelimbs. Although it didnt fall down, its dark green carapace was now covered with cracks. A resonant dragon cry burst forth from Long Haochens body, Rising Dragon Strike. Long Haochen now disregarded the Dark Green Dual ded Demon on the left side, sweeping the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand at the forelimbs of the Dark Green Dual ded Demon on the right, ruthlessly piercing the shelled part of its head and leaving a trail of blood. At that very same moment, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon on the left side also fell to the ground, leaving an intact corpse behind. This was the perfect matching between a knight and an assassin forming a single entity. With Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his left hand, carrying the supplemented powering from Holy Sword, he gave that Dark Green Dual ded Demon an immense fright. And at that moment, Caier, who was previously concealed behind Long Haochen, made her move. A sure-kill blow, Despotic Stab, cutting off that Dark Green Dual ded Demons nervous center. And in such a short time, Long Haochen and Caier had already gotten rid of those two Dark Green Dual ded Demons. And on the other side, it also went smoothly for Wang Yuanyuan. Having released her Space Splitting Saut, she followed by revolving with her shield. In her capacity as the most powerful warrior of this year, in case she unleashed her full power, even Long Haochen wouldnt be confident in blocking it easily. The Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was swung like an immense axe, ruthlessly chopping at that Dark Green Dual ded Demons body. At this time, the individual strength disparity naturally became obvious. Even though Sima Xian was in a state of Madness, a situation of one versus one against a Dark Green Dual ded Demon didnt look so convenient for him. Sacred Light, Sacred Hammer, Sacred Explosion of Light were employed in a row, enabling him to resist the fierce offense of that Dark Green Dual ded Demon, with difficulty. It was fortunate that Lin Xins elemental shields were there to support him at time, with perfect coordination, helping him resist that Dark Green Dual ded Demons attacks. At that very moment, Haoyues three heads finallypleted their joint chant, shooting out like a bullet afterpletion, directly towards the six formidable Demonic Eye Soldiers. Six enormous bullets of lights, of over one meter in diameter, went straight to Long Haochens side, and each one of them was locked on a different target. These demonic Bright Magic Bullets twisted the air wherever they passed, leaving the nearby demons panicked to the extent that they could only try to run away from it. Mixing the three colors red, gold, and green, a fantastic halo of light spread out from Haoyues heads. In the instant that halo of light appeared, the six eyes on Haoyues three heads turned violet. A fantastic scene urred at that time. In the instant the six enormous Magical Bright Bullets came in contact with that halo of light, they simply disappeared, while the halo just kept spreading in the air, till its diameter reached roughly fifty meters, appearing as sudden as unexpected, even englobing the carriage Long Haochens group targeted inside. Seven mild purple colored radiances were puffed out in session, falling on Long Haochens group of seven. The seven of them only felt their whole body shaking, surrounded by a thinyer of purple. Immediately afterwards, that halo reached the ground. Puh. A bizarre hiss echoed in the surrounding fifty meters, and immediately, red, golden and green radiances were mixed in that enormous pir of light, rocketing to the sky. All the Dual ded Demons in the surroundings shrieked miserably, instantly turning into dust, and even the Dark Green Dual ded Demon at Sima Xians side was dyed. Immediately, he clearly saw that under the effect of this mild radiance, numerous cracks started to appear on the dark green carapace covering his body. Shrieking mournfully, it wanted to rush out of that light pirs range. But would Sima Xian let such a good asion slip by? As he wielded his staff carrying the effects of Sacred Hammer, this time, the Dark Green Dual ded Demon was left without any way to defend himself. His forelimbs, struck by Sima Xians weapon, turned stiff, and with one more blow, it died instantly. The six formidable Demonic Eye Soldiers were enveloped by that faint halo, and could also only shriek miserably. Their legs shooting out crazily from the light beam, it could clearly be seen that at the time they tried to escape, ruptures after ruptures urred on these Demonic Eye Soldiers heads and cracks quickly appeared on the surface of their skin. The purple ck radiances from their bodies left them without any way to prevent the corrosion from the tri-colored light. Caier made her move. At that moment, she appeared just like a specter leaping up and speeding around in a sh, only leaving series of afterimages behind. Hundreds and thousands of white rays were released, aiming at the Demonic Eye Soldiers, riddling their bodies with gaping wounds in an instant. Their firepower far surpassed the Dark Green Dual ded Demons, but they were far from being experts in the field of defense. The dim golden radiances swept past two Demonic Eyes bodies, ruining thempletely. Caiers brutal offensive power waspletely unleashed in that instant; after those high ranked Demonic Eyes suffered Haoyues magical attack, they were left without any way to retaliate against them. But at this very same moment, a bellow burst forth, and the tri-colored light pir erected on the side of that carriage was smashed to pieces, a sturdy silhouette appeared from that direction. Being capable of bearing the weight of hundreds of kilograms of foodstuff, the logistics carriages were just enormous. But in the instant that huge silhouette appeared, Long Haochens group waspletely speechless, to the extent that these carriages seemed as though they were nothing. Its height over six meters, this creature was one of the kind they saw in the battle on the day before. Possessing a body simr to a wolfs, imposing wings on its two sides and the tail of a snake, its vigorous body appeared to be covered by ck scales. Just like a gigantic bird, its enormous wings produced gales simply by pping. Wasnt that exactly a Beta Flying Demon from the Maxilias demon n? Only, this Beta Flying Demon appeared different from the ones they ran into on the day before. The Beta Flying Demons they fought against were only roughly four meters in height, but this ones height was over six meters. Its two eyes appeared bloody red-colored, and its whole body let out a red glowpletely reeking of blood. A name appeared in the thoughts of everyone from the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, Bloodthirsty Beta Flying Demon. Bloodthirsty Beta Flying Demons were direct rtives of the thirty fifth demon god Maxilias, and each one of these Bloodthirsty Beta Flying Demons had reached the seventh step, and although they were only inferior existences within the seventh step, they were still powerhouses of the seventh step! But the Bloodthirsty Beta Flying Demon before their eyes was clearly no good omen. Its greenish ck feathers glinted red as it spread its wings. With a roar full of wrath, it pped its feathers as if wanting to ascend to the sky, but was surprisingly unable to do so, because of the tri-colored light pir released by Haoyue. It could clearly be seen that a tough and durable golden rope was tying a little case to its neck. Obviously, this was a precious item those formidable demons wanted to guard no matter what. Caier,e back. Long Haochen shouted out these few words. At that time, he had the determination to assume his duty as captain of his Demon Hunt Squad no matter what. A milky white colored glow came from his chest, it was precisely the Saint Spiritual Stove. That brilliant spiritual stove aimed directly at the Beta Flying Demons body, and reddish golden mes instantly soared up from his body. It was the sunlight fire. Facing powerful enemies, this was the moment he couldnt step back. A Bloodthirsty Beta Flying Demon was furthermore a formidable demon of the seventh step possessing the ability of flight. How could it not catch up with the fleeing speed of Long Haochens group? The only option left to him now was to face it. Long Haochen really didnt expect that in an ordinary garrison team, he would actually run into such an enemy, a demon of superior grade. Hearing Long Haochens words, Caier shifted directions, returning back to Long Haochens side. At that moment, Haoyues three heads were suddenly lifted up, each of them letting out a hiss with fantastic rhythm. There were a total of three long hisses; one high, one medium and one low-pitched, a fantastic scene appeared. The tri-colored light pir wrapping a scope of fifty meters vanished, turning into a rich brilliance, fiercely striking that Bloodthirsty Beta Demon, at that moment struggling with its left wing. A mournful shriek was apanied by the stter of a rain of blood, and although an intense greenish ck radiance was already being let out from this Bloodthirsty Betas body in an attempt to resist, its left wing was torn to shreds by the tri-colored pir of light, leaving itpletely unable to soar up in the sky. Author: Try to guess what kind of mythical ability Haoyue used this time? Clue, it doesnt belong to the dragon-species type But it is extremely fierce! hehe 1. (as a reminder, Bright Vengeance is the ability that is unleashed after a Divine Obstruction; it uses the opponents power back against him -or something like that-) Chapter 194 - The Bloodthirsty Beta Demon and The Mysterious Case (III)

Chapter 194: The Bloodthirsty Beta Demon and The Mysterious Case (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Nheless, the tri-colored light pir could only be maintained for thisst blow, immediately dissipating afterwards. And Haoyues immediate reaction was to crouch down, the six eyes on his three heads turning a lot darker, as he gasped for breath. His body was now trembling and spasming incredibly. Clearly, the technique he just used was above his own capability. Through their mental connection, Long Haochen learned the name of the ability Haoyue just used, it was Essence of Disorder, an extremely formidablebinatorial magic. One needed to master at least three magic elements to use it, and it could be ssified as a spell at the peak of the sixth step. The reason why Haoyue managed to use it, was because he ate far too many demon crystals the day before, and for that reason, a great amount of energy was bursting forth from his body. Relying on it, even though this ability cleared up his digestive system, the supplementary consumption still remained enormous. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian returned to Long Haochens side at the same time, and behind them, Han Yu bravely stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Long Haochen. Only at this moment, Chen Yinger started her chant. Jumping down from Haoyues back, she slightly fell back, her water crystal ball in hand, glinting brilliantly. Along with her chant, soft energy fluctuations came out from her crystal ball, rippling out. Wave-like ripples of spiritual energy fluctuated and spread outwards. A colorless protective screen autonomously epassed her body, happening to protect the back of the whole team. The Creature Summoning Gate was a formidable spell of the eighth step, and although Chen Yinger was incapable of controlling it, when using this spell, she still received its protection. But during the Demon Hunt Competition, who would possibly let herplete it entirely. Currently facing powerful enemies, Chen Yinger immediately changed her stance, taking care of the defense of the teams rear, letting Han Yu step forward to assist Long Haochen. This Bloodthirsty Beta could be considered to have bad luck: its current mission was to protect the case on its neck, and to deliver it to the demon army camp. He wasnt part of the logistics team, and lying down in the supplies carriage, he was supposed to enjoy being pulled by those low-ranked demons along with the food supplies, and was originally in the middle of sleeping. Even when Long Haochens groupunched their attack, this Bloodthirsty Beta didnt care at all. After all, four Dark Green Dual ded Demons and six formidable eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers were taking responsibility for defending the carriage. This was until Haoyues triple attribute fusion magic Essence of Disorder was unleashed, letting it find out that this times enemy was redoutable. Although Essence of Disorder mainly used the casters own energy resources, and even weakened his bodys defense, this formidable spell was able to perturb all other elements in a certain scope, producing results in regard to all attributes that were used. At the same time, Essence of Disorder would produce an enormous destructive power, corroding all living creatures in a certain range. Those with weak defense like ordinary Dual ded Demons would directly perish from the effects of the magic, and even the ones with high defense like Dark Green Dual ded Demons would still receive some damage, their defense continuously being weakened. This was thus the reason why their immediate reaction was to flee. But this move of Haoyues relied on the fact that the enemies were at equal or inferior level than him. If Essence of Disorder was aimed at an enemy with a cultivation level far exceeding his, it would bepletely uneffective. On the contrary, it would immediately make him receive huge side-effects. This was only a formidable tool in coping with enemies of lower grade than the mage himself. Even though those eight-eyed-ranked Demonic Eye Soldiers hadnt been attacked by Caier, they had already lost all ability to fight. Their eyes were their magics source, but with their eyes ruptured from the effects of Essence of Disorder, what could they possibly do? Eight eyed Demonic Eyed Soldiers had cultivation levels close to mages of the fifth step. As a whole, their strength exceeded Dark Green Dual ded Demons, but with Haoyues move, they had beenpletely dominated in the aspect of magic. As a result, although Long Haochens group was now coping with a Bloodthirsty Beta, they could still be considered fortunate at least not having to cope with the surrounding formidable demons, that would at least not attack them from all sides. Although a Bloodthirsty Beta was at the seventh step of cultivation, it was actually a demon and a mage at the same time. And, it also had dual-attributes, having the same level as Little Green regarding the ind system. Although its magic ability didnt reach the peak of the sixth step, and even though the injuries it sustained from the Essence of Disorder werent as heavy, it was still quite badly affected , especially from Haoyuesst blow using condensed Essence of Disorder to directly destroy one of its wings. Now that it had lost the ability of flight, the strength of this demon of the seventh step was reduced greatly. As a matter of fact, even a powerhouse, when attacked sneakily without having made any preparations, will suffer a loss Of course, the fact this Bloodthirsty Beta had lost the ability of flight was not only good news. At that instant, that demon powerhouse of the seventh step was in a state ofplete wrath. The head of its massive body rose, suffering a sharp pain, before ferociously stamping on the ground. With a loud bang, the earth shook violently and the nearby carriages were entirely turned upside down. The strong dark and wind attributes wrapped in its aura reeking of blood were now fluctuating unstably, and the Bloodthirsty Betas eyes let out a bloody and igniting luster. Humans, you are all going to die! Shouting out in wrath, the Bloodthirsty Beta Wolf headed towards Long Haochens group like a seemingly two meter long shining ck arrow. At the same time the Beta dered so and reduced the distance, a wolf howl-like cry erupted from its mouth, and strong magic fluctuations broke out in the surrounding ten meters. Having not made his preparations, the Bloodthirsty Beta sustained severe injuries from Haoyues magic, and rushed with great wrath at the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. It appeared to be an iparably terrifying existencepared to all they had ever faced before. Long Haochen couldnt shrink back: he was the captain. When facing a formidable enemy that had great odds of killing him instantly, he still had the courage to aim his Saint Spiritual Stove at the other party. His courage instantly stirred the blood of his own teammates: they all knew that if there was the slightest mistake, the use of the Saint Spiritual Stove would instantly lead to Long Haochen being crushed by that Bloodthirsty Beta. Two fire elemental shields instantly fell on Long Haochen; at that instant, Lin Xin had gone all out. He had taken a Bursting Spiritual Pill, arousing the rich fire element surrounding him even further, to the extent that it gave off a sticky feeling. Two Holy Mantles were also used at the same time, oneing from Long Haochens Divine Light Wristguard, and the other one from Han Yu. Only if Long Haochen could block this blow from the Blood-Thirsty Beta, they would possibly have hope to strive for their survival. _Bang._ The two Holy Mantles added to hisyers of defense were instantly teared apart, together with the elemental shields, and the greenish-ck arrow ruthlessly struck Long Haochen, who was putting two intersected Divine Obstructions to use. With that instant collision, all the surrounding people could see a greenish ck radiance sticking to Long Haochens silhouette, but he didnt fall back, though the sunlight fire erupting from his body was instantly extinguished. Long Haochensplexion didnt change; at that moment, he appeared extremely calm and cold-headed, even with the wind essence and the dark essence rushing forth toward him. But bright light simrly broke out from his body; it was the radiance associated with Bright Vengeance. The appearance of Bright Vengeance was a proof of sess of Long Haochens Divine Obstruction. That Bloodthirsty Beta hadnt managed to pierce his defense entirely. With a loud shout of his, a shocking scene was produced in Long Haochens body. From the inside of his body, intense liquefied spiritual energy came out, actually violently shaking the Bloodthirsty Beta and overpowering his dual attribute magical charge. The Holy Spirit Armor let out some golden colored liquefied spiritual energy, appearing dazzlingly magnificent. At this instant, Long Haochen appeared just like the majestuous sun, blossoming with dazzling luster. At the time Long Haochen stopped the Bloodthirsty Betas offense, the others didnt stay idle. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian were alreadyunching their attacks from both sides, aiming with full force at the Bloodthirsty Betas legs. The body of a demon of the seventh step was extremely terrifying, but its legs would generally be a rtively weak part of it. Having suffered the Saint Spiritual Stoves influence, the Bloodthirsty Beta wasnt able to aim at them, but there was no doubt on its formidable defensive power. Wang Yuanyuan was still better off: after bumping into it, the Bloodthirsty Betas body was shaken violently, leaving it unable to aim a second sessive attack at Long Haochen. But Sima Xians state of madness had just finished, and the formidable power of the Spiritual Bursting Pill had also ended. Along with his attack, he was the one to be sent flying, his both hands bleeding at the web between the thumb and the forefinger from the impact. But this bald priest was extremely valiant too. A rich red glow immediately burst forth from his body; relying on another Spiritual Bursting Pills effects, he borrowed the force of Madness a second time. With his skin appearing as tough as a python, moving as rhythmically as a small snake, as solid as a rock, and his muscles appearing dazzling, he threw himself once again at the opponent. The effects of the Spiritual Bursting Pill started to disy, after Wang Yuanyuans blow shook the Bloodthirsty Beta. She once again embedded three gems in her Divine Soul Shield and took a Spiritual Recovery Pill. Also at that moment, a pitch-ck silhouette appeared soundlessly above the Bloodthirsty Beta, and aimed a stab directly at its neck, producing a glint of dark golden color. It was Caier. In front of Caiers attack, even a demon with such high rank as this Bloodthirsty Beta could feel an intense threat. He didnt keep attacking Long Haochen, its whole body shaking violently and from its scales, an intense greenish-ck radiance instantly broke out. _Ding Dang._ Caiers dark golden dagger violently reached its neck, but upon contact with its hard feathers and its thick scales, she immediately sent her body flying, avoiding the greenish-ck radiance erupting from the Bloodthirsty Betas body. What a powerful demon! Even Caier, the most powerful member in the 1st soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad, couldnt harm it the slightest bit. At that moment, the other nine newly formed Demon Hunt Squads were in a far better situation than Long Haochens group. Upon meeting the fierce offense of the mages, the average Dual ded Demons from the logistics team were sent flying with a single blow. As for the other vocations, they were ughtering their way without danger. A huge amount of carriages had already been set on fire by the fire system mages, and the most powerful category of demons they asionally encountered were Dark Green Dual ded Demons and nothing more. With their strength as teams, coping with them wasnt hard. The thousands of demons, mainly formed of Dual ded Demons and Demonic Eye Soldiers, were already in disorder, and being utterly defeated. In a short period of time, all of the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads had already reaped a great amount of points, each of them having ughtered at least a hundred enemies. Chapter 195 - Mergence! Blood Pact Fusion (I)

Chapter 195: Mergence! Blood Pact Fusion (I)

Just like Long Haochen expected, due to the motivation of the contribution points, the elites of these Demon Hunt Squads had a very high morale. Soon,rge parts of the battlefield were being concealed by arge fire, and each Demon Hunt Squad only took their own safety into ount. With regard to the situation of Long Haochens team, they would at most notice some enormous burst of energy wreaking havoc, and nothing more. But despite the noiseing from the direction of Long Haochens team, they didnt realize the great danger they were confronted with. As Caier stepped back, the Bloodthirsty Beta seemed to have already gone frantic. He hated those humans before him bitterly, especially Long Haochen, who used his Saint Spiritual Stove to attract him. He knew that as long as Long Haochen wasnt killed, he wouldnt be able to get rid of the others. This time, he didnt immediately produce a radiance again, but with a glint of greenish-ck, he went straight in Long Haochens direction. His speed was iparably fast, and at the same time as he dashed forward, an intense radiance of greenish-ck emerged, took a shape simr to his own and headed in the same direction. A terrifying pressure immediately assaulted their senses. What did the fact that this Bloodthirsty Beta was at the seventh step imply? It implied that his internal spiritual energy passed 10,000! Long Haochen had only an internal spiritual energy of 2,000, and although this Bloodthirsty Betas strength couldntpare with Gao Yingjies, he had five times his spiritual energy when breaking out with full power. This was already nothing Divine Obstruction could resist. More importantly, this was a full strength blow of that Bloodthirsty Beta Flying Demon. Confronting the Bloodthirsty Beta locked on himself, Long Haochen wasnt affected by the fear of death. As before he used the Attraction ability, supporting himself on Haoyues body. He relied on his own weight to give his body a reverse momentum, instantly flinging himself around and changing directions. Although the Blood-Thirsty Beta was locked on Long Haochen, this was a material attack, and under the effects of Attraction, no spiritual attack could be used to cover the area around him. Its four limbs pushed off the ground, pouncing in Long Haochens direction once again. At that time, Wang Yuanyuans Divine Soul Shield waspletely installed, Chen Yingerpleted her summon, and Caier and Sima Xian were in the middle to pursue that Bloodthirsty Beta. In this situation, with the surroundings appearing in disorder, Long Haochen was iparably clear-headed. He was ready to risk everything in this battle! This was the logical conclusion Long Haochen drew himself. Even if he had the support of hispanions defensive abilities, when facing the full strength attack of a higher ranked demon, he was absolutely sure he couldnt resist. What should I do??When Long Haochen made his resolution to die, shouts from three united voices suddenly sounded. An ear piercing yell mixed with faint purple ripples reached that Bloodthirsty Betas body, about to strike Long Haochen. Long Haochen only sensed his body warming up, all his blood felt as if it waspletely set on fire, and immediately, he clearly felt something on his back. The others were able to see this situation even more clearly. As Long Haochen was standing on Haoyues back, he suddenly raised his three heads, and with ferocious bellows, his enormous body took on a sparkling and translucent purple color. Instantly, purple colored light spread out together with his shouts. While enveloping Long Haochens body it struck out at the Bloodthirsty Beta. The greenish-ck radiances the Bloodthirsty Beta let out immediately disappeared, and the demon seemed to be somewhat sluggish. With a pounce, it rushed out, but was blocked by the dense purple light. This Bloodthirsty Betas eyes were filled with fury, and its blood waspletely ignited, but its face showed a trace of surprise. Haoyues body nowpletely transformed into a sparkling purple color and started to disperse, forming that purple light itself. From the rear, it seemed to envelop Long Haochen with speed as fast as lightning. Everyones eyes shrank in astonishment; the fact that rmed them greatly was that Haoyue with his more than three meter tall body mergedpletely with Long Haochen who emitted aplete purple colored luster. His originally ck hair instantly turned purple, and the same change went on with his left eye. From its previous sparkling and prating golden color, this eye suddenly turned purple. What kind of monstrous phenomenon was that? zing! Long Haochen currently felt as if his body was aze with an iparably vigorous energy provoking it to grow forcefully. Originally, as a fourteen years-old child, his height was under 1.7 meter, but at that moment, it grew unceasingly. Even his bones and his muscles seemed to be affected by the huge surge of energy. In the middle of the purple light revolving around him, he transformed into a more than 1.9 meter tall and thin youth. His purple hair trailed over his shoulders, and his two different colored eyes seemed to be in control of everything. The Holy Spirit Armor covering Long Haochens body proved to be truly worthy of being called Spiritual Tier Equipment, as it increased its size together with him. Long Haochen was originally already handsome, but formerly, he was after all just a youth with an appearance even resembling a girls. But at that very moment, his appearance, surrounded by purple light revolving all around him, even caused Wang Yuanyuan, that manly girl, to look dull. His eyes were golden and purple, looking just like a fusion of righteousness and evil, and he had an iparably handsome appearance, looking just like a perfect statue carved by the gods themselves. His fair white skin was covered with ayer of purple, as his body was slightly floating in midair. His purple eye looked as if it was filled with grandeur and wickedness while his golden eye looked as if filled with purity and kindheartedness. This fusion of two opposite temperaments made Long Haochen simr to an enormous ma, attracting the attention of every surrounding creature. Even the rigid and tough Bloodthirsty Beta felt dull upon seeing Long Haochens body changing so swiftly. It was stunned to the extent that it didnt immediatelyunch an attack against him. Chen Yingers Creature Summoning Gate waspleted, but unfortunately, the will of heavens wasnt on her side. This time, it was a little white, fat, and plump pig that came out of it. The little pig was only one third of a meter tall, its white skin giving off a translucent feel. It looked at the surroundings with a curious face. But when its gaze fell on Long Haochens body, sparkling with purple light, it immediately jumped back in fright as if it saw a monster, directly throwing itself at Chen Yingers bosom. It shivered extremely because of its excessive fear, and that pig went as far as to bite Chen Yingers hand. Chen Yinger only felt as if her hand had been stung, but she didnt care about it at all. At that moment, her eyes seemed to be filled with brilliant stars So handsome! So this is the appearance Haochen will have after growing up! Hes so handsome! With unequalled handsomeness Heart-shaped radiances were released from her eyes, and she felt as if her heart had been forcibly taken away. This incontrble sensation causing her eyes to be starry was something she never felt before. Caier feltpletely different from the others, because she was blind and couldnt see the changes that urred on his outward appearance. But since her senses were sharper than anyone elses she noticed many changes in Long Haochen. All restraint he originally had seemed to have disappeared, his aura became several times stronger, and indescribable changes were going on within him at an astonishing speed. But the fact that left Caier the most overwhelmed with shock was that the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara in her body suddenly burst out with strong killing intent. And it appeared as though this killing intent was issued for her self-protection. Ever since she had gotten the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara, this was the first time such great changes appeared on these two items.?Could it be that they are actually feeling a threat from Haochens aura? And they are just so terrified? This course of events sounds as though these changes happened slowly, but in truth everything only took a split second to happen. A pair of sparkling and translucent purple wings suddenly unfolded on Long Haochens back, and although those wings couldnt be considered broad, they still spread more than three meters wide. They were still far beyondpare with the spiritual energized wings Long Xingyu had produced at that time. And these purple wings looked like amethyst, sculpted into a masterpiece. There were no feathers, but that sparkling and translucent texture gave off a sense of reality. The condensation of spiritual energy of a Radiant Knight? Everyone in the 1st Demon Hunt Squad was shocked to the extreme: no one knew how such changes appeared so suddenly in Long Haochen, they were surprised to the extent that they wondered whether this could be called a good or a bad change. But they could be sure that the condensation of spiritual energy was the signature feature of a Radiant Knight. Furthermore, the current Long Haochen didnt look as simple as an ordinary Radiant Knight. The Holy Spirit Sword disappeared into the forget-me-not ring, and in Long Haochens hand, only Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, was left. A resplendent golden and blue bicolored luster broke out, and Long Haochens left hand performed an upward motion. Just like that, a glow was produced with golden and blue colors, surrounding the hollow of his palm. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, produced ripples, rising up and down and forming a halo. The foggy golden and blue brilliance dispersed and the sword in Long Haochens hand disappeared. Golden and blue color clearly intertwined, just like two distinguishable paths of light, intertwining with each other in the air. The Bloodthirsty Betas blood-thirsty look gradually filled with fear, not only because it currently faced Long Haochen, but also because of the burst of purple energying from its rear. Endless ck spread from Caiers body, to the extent that some nearby Dual ded Demons fell down from the pressure,pletely losing all life. As a matter of fact, because of the changes in both Long Haochens body and his aura, Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara was aroused. But even without Long Haochen as trigger, to save her man, Caier would have done the same. The only difference was that now, with the power erupting from Long Haochen and herself, they had be even more coordinated. Among the two of them, one was at the front, and the other behind, appearing as though they formed a single entity. In the middle of the pitch ck aura, Caiers long hair autonomously floated in midair like a veil at the back of her head. Her killing intent had materialized around her body, to the extent of forming a twisted ck cloud . On the other side, a purple light was condensed from Long Haochens body. On one side was a pure and translucent noble purple, and on the other one was a ck color engulfing everything around it . At that moment, the formidable Bloodthirsty Beta had an indescribable look. Chapter 196 - Mergence! Blood Pact Fusion(II)

Chapter 196: Mergence! Blood Pact Fusion(II)

Its four sturdy limbs abruptly stomped the ground, the ck color on its body suddenly turning green, and in the next instant, this formerly iparably valiant Bloodthirsty Beta suddenly flew sideways, trying to escape like a green lightning bolt. Caier, dont! A shout sounded, as a tall silhouette suddenly broke out of the ground. Unfortunately, this warning was a bitte. Gold and blue, coiled around each other, formed a magnificent zing bolt that shot out. ck and grey reced all colors surrounding Caier. No one knew what kind of move Caier used; they only felt everything around her turning dark, and in the next instant, the Bloodthirsty Beta on the run suddenly stopped. Pi. When Caiers attack reached it, the Bloodthirsty Beta froze in midair. Its body turnedpletely ck and his eyes became grey and lifeless. Immediately afterwards, countless rays of water struck, surrounded by surges of prating light. This exquisite mix of gold and blue quietly pierced its body, swiftly expanding upon reaching it. A loud sound echoed as the Bloodthirsty Betas massive body swelled in the air like a balloon, before noiselessly exploding into pieces. A shower of flesh and blood fell from the sky. It was the Bright Rain of the Thrusting Hibiscus added to the Dagger of Samsara, the strongestbination between Long Haochen and Caier. They were only at the fifth step! Long Haochen and Caier were only at the fifth step! Yet they managed to ughter a Bloodthirsty Beta on the battlefield, a direct subordinate of the thirty-fifth demon god, Maxilias. Gao Yingjie simply stoodthere, lifelessly watching this scene. Seeing that pair of youths falling to the ground, he felt his heart twitch violently. Compared to the previous time when Long Haochen used that Bright Rain of the Thrusting Hibiscus against him, the power waspletely different. Possessing spiritual energy condensed into wings, he temporarily had the strength of a Radiant Knight. And the previous blow clearly showed that his weapon had reached the Legendary Tier. Despite everything, Gao Yingjie still didnt know what this attack of Caiers was, formed of ck and grey, but he clearly felt that its power was even more terrifying than that of Bright Rain of the Thrusting Hibiscus. That heavenly and materialized killing intent had already caused his hands to turn cold. If it was him, would he be able to take on a blow issued from the cooperation of these two? Gao Yingjie was absolutely not confident to answer this question with certainty. Loss of consciousness; loss of consciousness; loss of consciousness. In the instant Long Haochen fell to the ground, Haoyues massive body separated from him, letting him regain his fourteen-years-old appearance. Haoyue fell down as well. With his three heads lowered he remained motionless, in a crawling position. On the other side, Caier also lost consciousness as she fell softly to the ground. The use of power far exceeding ones capability came with a disastrous cost. Without a doubt, this applied to the current Long Haochen and Caier. Quickly go defend Caier. In the end, Gao Yingjie was the very first to react. Abruptly speeding up, he already arrived at Long Haochens side. At this very moment, a dazzling light burst forth from him and soared up to the sky. This was the signal for the ten Mythril Foundation Knights. As their captain, Gao Yingjie told hisrades to act personally to settle this battle. Just as Long Haochen anticipated, in their capacity as leaders, they wouldnt let these youths meet danger. They were just hiding in the dark all this time. But Long Haochen didnt guess that these ten knights of the seventh step were hiding themselves underground. All this time Gao Yingjie was paying secret attention to the situation on the battlefield. When Long Haochens group faced those Dark Green Dual ded Demons and eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers, Gao Yingjie had been secretly rmed, making his preparations to intervene. But under Long Haochensmand, their group disyed a formidable fighting strength that left Gao Yingjie astonished; they had only a beginning of mutual understanding, but their attack was more brutal than anyone could have expected. This was especially the case for Long Haochen and Caier, who got rid of two Dark Green Dual ded Demons almost instantly. But what caused Gao Yingjie to be even more shocked was Haoyues disy of strength, when he almostpelled the demons to flee the battlefield with his Essence of Disorder. Long Haochens group possibly didnt know about hybrid magic, but as a powerhouse of the seventh step, how could he not know of it? And this was magicbining three different elements! Even the Mage Temple didnt have many recordings of this kind of feat. Uniting mages of three distinct elements was not hard, but to find three who reached the same standard was very difficult. Seeing that Long Haochens group was so strong, Gao Yingjie didnt deem it necessary toe out, wondering what level these youths group strength could reach. The appearance of the Bloodthirsty Beta would undoubtedly be the ultimate test for these youths. A Bloodthirsty Beta was a demon of the seventh step, with a big gap to Gao Yingjie who reached the peak of the seventh step, and additionally possessed a killing weapon such as his Mythril Foundation Amor. At the time the 1st Demon Hunt Squad faced Gao Yingjie, he just wanted to test their strength, and didnt really attack them., bBut the Bloodthirty Beta was in a state of wrath and had the intent of killing them all. Thus, the pressure Long Haochens group was subject to was iparablyrge. The shocked Gao Yingjie was already prepared to make his move when this session of events happened in a sh. Seeing that Long Haochen couldnt possibly block the Bloodthirsty Betas attack, Gao Yingjie had already readied his storing power ability, but before he could act personally, the Bloodthirsty Beta had been shaken by the purple light released with Haoyues roar. Immediately, Gao Yingjie stared dully at the uring scene, watching the Bloodthirsty Beta in its attempt to escape. Gao Yingjies expected Long Haochen and Caier to cease their attack upon seeing this Bloodthirsty Betas intention to escape. But he didnt anticipate that at this time Long Haochen, who was supposed to be in a weakened state, suddenly erupted with a formidable power. Long Haochen was already i on the verge of losing consciousness, and only his battle instinct remained. He didnt have any judgemental capability left! And influenced by Long Haochens decision not to cease fire, Caier naturally didnt stop either. Thus, at the time Gao Yingjie called out to Caier to stop her charge, her attack still flew towards the opponent like an arrow leaving the bow string. Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and Han Yu hurried to Caiers side to provide protection while Lin Xin and Chen Yinger grouped together, prepared to use defensive magic. But as a matter of fact, no other demon dared to attack their group. Even Dual ded Demons with their low level of intelligence felt terrified after having sensed the aura released by Long Haochen and Caier. As for the few remaining eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers who were originally already heavily wounded, underthe influence of Caiers sharp attack, the injuries on their heads suddenly worsened, killing them instantly. As they exhaled their terminal breath, their contribution points went to Haoyue, which naturally meant that they belonged to Long Haochen. In this battle, Gao Yingjie clearly saw that the other Demon Hunt Squads were not as good as them. They were simply staring at this baffling scene. Long Haochen levitating surrounded by a purple aura and Caiers murderous killing intent attracted their attention. And in the next instant, they just saw the massive demon being bombarded with attacks by Long Haochen and Caier, before its corpse disappeared. Although they didnt know what level Long Haochen and Caier reached, they could clearly sense the fluctuations of energy. The mission waspleted perfectly. The toughest opponent had been disposed of by the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, while the other nine Demon Hunt Squads had just been carrying out a carefree ughter. FollowingGao Yingjies order, it took the emerging Mythril Foundation Knights only five minutes to ughter all the remaining demons. Carrying Long Haochen with one hand, and Caier with the other one, Gao Yingjie ordered aloud, Lets evacuate first. Their attack was far from being discreet and since demons also had scouts, he was convinced that sooner orter, parts of the demons main forces would rush out. Therefore, after setting fire to all their provisions, everyone swiftly retreated. Before they left, Lin Xin collected the Bloodthirsty Betas corpse as well as recovering the case on its neck. Little groups had their own benefits; at least, they retreated at a swift speed. Haoyues build was massive, but he wasnt the biggest one out there. Duan Yis Golden Horned Mammoth outweighed him already in weight. Everyone withdrew at the greatest speed possible after setting fire to all the carriages. They didnt follow the same path to return, but took arge detour, rushing out to another part of the Exorcist Mountain. The Exorcist Mountain was a part of the area controlled by the Temple Alliance, and there was only a single path to enter the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The other directions were all direct roads, with the terrain being exceedinglyplex and the Temple Alliance also guarding it with a massive military force. To demonkind, this was a natural fortress exceedingly hard to assault, but to the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads, it was the only path of return. Gao Yingjie had examined both Long Haochen and Caiers condition; both were unharmed, but in an exceedingly weak state. As soon as they entered the Exorcist Mountain Pass, they met with a support team that apanied them back. At this point, whatever the demon sides reaction to their assault was, they wouldnt be able to make it in time. This battle was an overwhelming victory. Although among the ten Demon Hunt Squads, many received some wounds, none were serious: all were immediately healed with the priests Heals. They didnt only set fire on the demons foodstuff, but they also wiped out the enemy side. It went to the extent that some members of the Demon Hunt Squadsined that the leaders shouldnt have acted personally, snatching quite a few contribution points from them. Under the effects of Gao Yingjies healing, Caier soon came back to her senses. Looking at her, it seemed that she was okay, only quite weak. But she still insisted on remaining by Long Haochens side. Yang Wenzhao called out his Starlight Unicorn to carry the unconscious Long Haochen and the awakened Caier. Two hourster, they finally returned to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Even if the leaders hadnt acted personally, this times mission would still have beenpleted satisfactorily, hence at the time of his report, Gao Yingjie kept the fact they acted personally hidden, evaluating their merit as good. Each Demon Hunt Squad obtained an amount of two hundred contribution points, conferred to the ten captains. Chapter 197 - Mergence! Blood Pact Fusion (III)

Chapter 197: Mergence! Blood Pact Fusion (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Because Long Haochen was still unconscious, Caier received the well deserved contribution points of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad in his stead. Gao Yingjie apanied the members of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad back to their own living quarters, and Caier gently put Long Haochen down on his bed, her concerned look slightly easing up. Leader, its unfair. Our team paid the greatest price, but why is it that the reward of contribution points they received was the same? After pulling Haoyue back to their living quarters and closing the door with a kick, the bald priest Sima Xian couldnt help butin to Gao Yingjie about that. Indeed, the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad faced the toughest enemy, and altogether got rid of four Dark Green Dual ded Demons, six eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers and even a Bloodthirsty Beta of the seventh step. It could be said that Long Haochens group shouldered at least half of the entire missions pressure, which was also the reason why Long Haochen and Caier overexerted themselves. It was indeed natural for the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad to im credit for themselves. Gao Yingjie unhappily shot him a nce, replying, Okay! Then I will now answer your show-off of good aplishment. Then, Lin Xin, hand over these corpses you recovered to me, and also that case. Eh? Lin Xin scratched his head, But leader, I didnt say anything! Sima Xian shot a puzzled look at Gao Yingjie and Lin Xin. Gao Yingjie unhappily replied, What are you staring at? Dont tell me you didnt see Lin Xin recovering the costly bodies of these demons before we returned, in addition to that Bloodthirst Betas case. Although I dont know the content of this case, I can ascertain that if a Bloodthirsty Beta of the Maxilias n took the duty to guard it, it would surely notck in value. And even if we disregard it, do you know how many contribution points you earned from those demons you killed? And you still have the nerve to im a more appropriate reward for your aplishment? I can give you the reward, but youll have to hand over your spoils of war. These are the armys rules, are you willing to do so? I will leave an eye open and close the other one on this matter. You indeed exerted yourselves the most, but these demon corpses you obtained also have a considerable worth. Each of the Dark Green Dual ded Demons has a value of ten contribution points, and thats not all. Let alone the worth of their corpses, the eight eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers have a contribution points value of thirty for each one. And although Long Haochen and Caier paid a considerable price to take out the Bloodthirsty Beta Demon, it reached the realm of the seventh step giving you the most contribution points. Im afraid the total of all the contribution points you earned up till now doesnt even reach the value of a single Bloodthirsty Beta Demon. It after all holds a total value of 1,000 contribution points, that are now in the contribution tile of your captain. Hearing Gao Yingjies exnation, everyone couldnt help but let out a deep gasp of astonishment. Gao Yingjie revealed a faint smile, I havent finished yet. Although the Bloodthirsty Betas corpse Lin Xin recovered is in quite a bad shape, in case you hand its magical crystal to the general quarters of the Alliance, you will simrly sell it off for thousand contribution points. How about it, are you still going to im your due reward to someone else? Sima Xians huge bald head shook just like an oilmp swung by the wind, Theres no need, no need at all. I was the shortsighted one. Leader is indeed the most illustrious one. Gao Yingjie said with a snort, Less ttering farts! Let me tell you, it is also for your own good that I didnt give you a supplementary reward. Everyone already got to see Long Haochen and Caiersst disy of power. If we once again point out everything you did, how do you think they will take it? Dont forget, you are now in the middle of a teampetition. Dont tell me you want to have all the other Demon Hunt Squads regard you as enemies at the same time? If we really do so, you will turn them into amon enemy, and you can say goodbye to having an easy time during your two remaining months in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Even if your team is the strongest, if you dont have the cooperation of the other teams during joint missions like this one, do you think you will get to reap the best rewards again? I advise you to rather stay low key about it until the final oue of the team contest Lin Xin, give this case directly to Long Haochen afterwards, no need to let me look at it. I dont know anything and didnt see anything. Yes, illustrious leader! Lin Xin showed off a mage salute as he giggled with a smile before Gao Yingjie. All right. You all had a hard time, go rest for now. If anything bad happens with Long Haochens and Caiers physical condition, tell me about it without dy. I am leaving for now. Everyone nodded secretly with augh, except from Caier who spoke out loudly, Respectable leader. Wait a bit. Just as Gao Yingjie was going to leave, a feeble voice suddenly rang out. Long Haochen suddenly gripped Caiers hand, as thetter was standing at his side all along. Long Haochen was extremely pale, his pair of golden eyes somewhat darker than usual. In the depths of his left eye, a faint trace of purple could be seen. Caier, support me please. Long Haochen requested her in a weak voice. Caier gently pulled his hand, supporting his back to help him rise to a seated position. Everyones looks fell simultaneously on Long Haochen, and Gao Yingjie asked, Haochen, are you alright? Long Haochen faintly nodded his head, and replied, I am okay, Leader. Lin Xin, give Leader this case. What? Lin Xin stared nkly, giving Long Haochen a look of disbelief, Captain, these are our spoils of war! Long Haochen shook his head and said, No this is everyones spoil of war. Since demonkind sent such a powerhouse to defend it, maybe the contents of this case are closely rted to the secret of these demons acting against Exorcist City. We cannot let our general situation be affected just for this thing to be given to us. Furthermore, this battle against the demons logistics team was orchestrated with the joint help of all our Demon Hunt Squads. It is true that we are nowpeting against each other, but everyone shouldnt forget that we still are fellow soldiers. Ourmon enemy is demonkind, and this case is bound to be important for the battle against them. For this reason, we cannot keep it. Doing so would be like inflicting a stab to our own side. Hearing Long Haochens words, Lin Xins eyes were filled with disagreement, and Han Yus as well as Chen Yingers opinions seemed to be the same. Chen Yinger muttered, No need to be so serious, it is just a little case. Long Haochens look became serious, This is admittedly just a little case, but if we decide to keep it out of our own greed, wont it mean that every time we share a mission with the other squads, we will continue to hoard the good things for ourselves? I request everyone to support me in this decision. I am willing to have all the contribution points I got from this mission distributed among everyone else. Listen to Haochen. Lin Xin, give leader the case. Wang Yuanyuan spoke out. This courageous girl said so, filled with pride, So what, if this case contains a treasure of the same rarity as a spiritual stove? Dont tell me you dont believe our 1st Demon Hunt Squad has the ability to get this kind of thing again? After Long Haochen and Wang Yuanyuan had expressed themselves like that, the others would naturally not object anymore. The aplishment of having killed the Bloodthirsty Beta could be said to be Long Haochens and Caiers aplishment. His conduct within the team could be said to have led to everyone else looking up at him. Lin Xin helplessly took out the case, cing it in Gao Yingjies hands, Captain, lets not speak of having a deal with contribution points as if we were outsiders. You are our captain, and as such, your choice will be our final choice. I willply with it no matter what. Sima Xian also nodded to him, Thats right, you are the captain. The final word is yours. We trust your judgement no matter what. A smile appeared on Long Haochens pale face. He dered, Thank you everyone, for your confidence in me. Leader, please hand this case to the Exorcist Mountains military. And feel free to tell them about the rewards we obtained from killing these demons. As for the corpses we retrieved, we shouldnt have to hand them over. After all, this time we exerted ourselves quite a lot. Lin Xin also needs material to make his pills. He is not an inflexible person: this case will probably be linked to the safety of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. He has already handed it to you, but these demon corpses arent as important, and more importantly, as everyone risked their lives to obtain these items, there should be no need to deliver them to you. Gao Yingjie nced at Long Haochen, feeling greater respect toward this youth than ever before. Before nodding he replied, You are a good captain Having received the case from Lin Xin, he turned around and left. Seeing him leave, Long Haochen smiled faintly, I am going to rest first. Lets divide up the contribution points after I rested for a bit. Sima Xian suddenly sat on the bed, So tired. Lin Xin, your Spiritual Bursting Pills are awesome. But the aftereffects are quite difficult to bear. My whole body is aching terribly right now. Lin Xin smiled bitterly, Do you think I havent taken one too? We cannot do anything about it, bear with it. You will get better after twelve hours. I believe we wont get another mission within the next twelve hour. It is no use to train for now, lets just sleep. Long Haochen pulled Caier to their little home. The instant he took Caiers hand, his pale face immediately showed his tension. The Spiritual Stove of Samsara Caier used it, but its side-effects Caier, who naturally knew what he was thinking of, told him in a gentle voice, Dont worry, Im alright. At that time, I certainly made use of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, but I only borrowed the force of the Dagger of Samsara; I didnt use the stove in itself, because back then, the power of your Bright Rain of the Thrusting Hibiscus was sufficient. But the aura your fusion with Haoyue released even affected my Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Our luck is good this time, I just lost my sense of smell. I just wont be able to smell your scent, and in at most half a month, I will recover it. Caier deemphasized the problem, but seeing her red lips tremble unceasingly, Long Haochen felt a sharp pain. _She didnt only lose her sense of smell, but she cannot even use her own nose to breathe. How painful must it be!? More importantly, losing the sense of smell would evidently make it a lot harder for Caier to sense the changes in the external world. And even if to her, this was a small loss, what if it was something else she lost? If she were to lose her sense of hearing, with her eyes unable to see and her ears unable to hear, how painful would it be!?_ Chapter 198 - The Light Elemental Spiritual Stove and The Little Pig

Chapter 198: The Light Elemental Spiritual Stove and The Little Pig

Holding Caier tightly, Long Haochen gritted his teeth remorsefully, uttering, This is entirely my fault, I didnt protect you well enough, and made you use the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Caier revealed a faint smile, Idiot, its alright as long as you are okay. After Haoyue and you fused, the aura you released was really peculiar, it even aroused my Dagger of Samsara. From the looks of it, my training isnt quiteplete. Leaning himself toward her, Long Haochen said in a low voice, From now onwards and until you recover your sense of smell, I wont permit you to participate in any battle. I want you to stay there and rest. Caier was startled, immediately blurting out, How can this be okay? I want to stay by your side. Long Haochen shook his head, almost seeming somewhat domineering, This is out of question, you can only stay here and rest. On this kind of battlefield, I dont feelpletely confident in being able to protect you. I dont want to you to meet any kind of danger. Caier, we have already been together for so long, and I have never requested anything from you, but this time, I really want you to promise me. No matter what. Caier stayed silent for a long time. She was as always unable to act tough in front of Long Haochen, but more importantly, she could feel how deeply this affected him emotionally, so much that he was at that moment even trembling. Caier, you know, I am really afraid of losing you. I will protect you, but during the time you will not be by my side, I will take good care of myself and defend myself well. I will definitelye back safe and sound and wont let you worry. Caier finally nodded softly, Alright, I will listen to you. Long Haochen immediately rejoiced greatly, Thank you, Caier. Nestling against his warm chest, Caier said in a soft voice, I just want you to keep this firmly in mind, what I am the most afraid of is to lose you. In this world, you are the only one who ever made me feel warmth. Long Haochen gently kissed her forehead, and the two of them simultaneously closed their eyes. Their faces appeared quite flustered, but at that moment, they felt even more drawn to each other. General headquarters of the Assassin Temple. The Heroic Assassin Sheng Yue calmly sat on an entirely ck chair with a high backrest. The temporary chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, who reced Sheng Lingxin, was seated at his side. He was temporarily in charge of the defense of the Exorcist Mountain Pass until Sheng Lingxin recovered. Heroic Senior, these are the circumstances. Liao Tianfa had just reported everything about the mission the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads executed, including the retrieval of the little case. This thing is indeed quite precious! It is lucky that Long Haochen was willing to part with it. On Sheng Yues old face appeared a rare smile. As he softly caressed the case, his eyes twinkled slightly, while he thought of something no one else could possibly guess. Liao Tianfa continued, From what Gao Yingjie said, Long Haochen didnt even open this case, directly delivering it to us, afraid that this case could possibly contain important goods, closely rted to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. These children are really quite something. If it was me, even I would not necessarily have handed it over. For obtaining it, they should have encountered formidable resistance, and I assume that it has been Gao Yingjie and the others who acted to handle the matter, killing the demon who guarded this thing. This is a spiritual stove, a defensive spiritual stove, so it was at least a demon of the seventh step. If not for the fact this thing carries the light attribute, Im afraid it would have been even guarded more heavily. Sheng Yue faintly nodded, Anyhow, these little youngsters really acted exemrily. Our Assassin Temple cannot be stingy about it. As he said so, he pped his hands, and a light sound rang out from the solid case. A soft white radiance quietly soared up, and a little figurine emerged. Only a sixth of a meter tall, glowing with a pure and holy white light, the small body had a pair of little wings on its back. Although they were unfolded it wasnt really able to fly. Its facial expression seemed drowsy. The little thing lightly pped its wing in a struggling attempt to move on its own. It was a Light Elemental Fairy. Thats right, the case Long Haochen retrieved actually contained a Light Elemental Fairy, an iparably precious Elemental Spiritual Stove. In general, demons were also able to absorb the treasures from Heavens known as spiritual stoves. Only spiritual stoves of the light element were an exception, because demons belonged by nature to the darkness attribute, which rejected the light attribute the most. Absorbing such a stove would affect them even more fiercely than the most potent poison. If Long Haochen had known that this case contained a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, Im afraid even he would have faltered for a bit before making his decision. Among all Elemental Spiritual Stoves, the most precious ones were of the light or the darkness attribute. The reason was that they werent only rare, but were furthermore of special importance to both the demon and the human side. The Light Elemental Spiritual Stove did not rank especially high among other stoves, but as a matter of fact, it was much more powerful than a Saint Spiritual Stove. Its ranking was approximately in the top twenty, but it shared a special characteristic with the Saint Spiritual Stove, which was its gentle nature,pletely opposite to a Darkness Elemental Spiritual Stove. Afterunching, the Light Elemental Spiritual Stoves attraction ability, unless it met any resistance from another spiritual stove, it would be quite challenging to resist. Furthermore, the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove had a very wide range of uses, all of them being rted to the use of other abilities of the light attribute. The most suitable users were naturally priests, knights, and light-system mages. Among these professions, if someone saw a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, they would certainly go out of their way to gain it for themselves,/ not spare any means/price to win it over. Sheng Yue gazed at that little fairy, faintly smiling, and said, Your suffering will soone to an end, you just have to let me find apanion for you. Otherwise, seeing that you are in such a weak state, Im afraid you would gradually disappear, if left alone. Raising his head to look at the distant sky, Sheng Yues gentle look was gradually reced by coldness, If I havent guessed wrong, these demons should have shipped this Light Elemental Spiritual Stove to their army camp with the intention of making a deal with us. The odds are that they wanted to exchange it for some feedstocks. The Alliance was extremely clear about the demon sidesck of foodstuff, but for some unusual treasures, the Temple Alliance would asionally conclude exchanges with them. It could at least be considered as each one taking what he needs. Both sides gained some benefit, and to them, this was the most important. For instance, previously, the demon side had one of their low-ranked demon gods captured by the Temple Alliance, and ultimately exchanged its freedom for ten spiritual stoves. A conflict of six thousand years created apletely irreconcble rtionship between humans and demons, but the whole process of the war was apanied with several variables. Liao Tianfa hesitated for a bit, before asking, Heroic Senior, do you mean that you will hand this Light Elemental Spiritual Stove over to their team? Sheng Yue shook his head, and replied, This is improbable. This stove is something our Assassin Temple cannot use, but this operation wasunched by the ten Demon Hunt Squads all together. Furthermore, you too are well-informed about the value of this thing. If we only returned it to Long Haochens squad, in case the news were leaked, Im afraid it would arouse public anger. This wouldnt be a very satisfactory result, not only making our Assassin Temples generosity look biased, but furthermore giving rise to suspicion. Liao Tianfa couldnt possibly not understand his meaning, Then, what should we do about it? Sheng Yue extended a finger, stroking the top of the Light Elemental Fairys head, Lets just let this little guy choose for himself. As he said so, a sly look was exposed in his eyes. This was indeed killing two birds with one stone. Thinking up to this point, this heroic elder couldnt help but feel somewhat proud of himself. At the time Long Haochens group returned, it was already noon. Because of their excessive tiredness, none of them ate lunch. Just as night finally fell, one of these youths suddenly woke all the others with a miserable scream. Ah! Ah! Ah! Why!? Why are things like that? Resounding through the whole room, this scream woke everyone with a start. What happened!? What happened!? As he turned over, Sima Xian sat up, instantly grabbing the staff lying at the side of his bed. On the other side, Wang Yuanyuan shot out of the bed, still d in her undergarment. The noise wasing from Chen Yingers bed. Because she did the same as Caier, using a cloth curtain to surround her own bed, the others outside couldnt see what happened. The others naturally came back to their senses. And as another girl, Wang Yuanyuan took the initiative to pull the curtain to check Chen Yingers situation, but seeing that everything looked alright, she couldnt help but feel dumbfounded. The others still couldnt see what the matter was and were at a loss. At that moment, Long Haochen already led Caier down from the bed and was about to arrive at Wang Yuanyuans side. But because the one inside was a girl and he found it inappropriate to directly look inside, he hastily inquired from Wang Yuanyuan, How is Yinger doing? Look at it by yourselves. Just as Wang Yuanyuan pulled the curtains away, Long Haochen directly saw herplex expression, looking almost as if she wanted tough. Wang Yuanyuan stepped aside, letting the others see the situation inside. All they saw was Chen Yingers face, she seemed on the verge of crying but without any tearsing out, as she sat there, holding a little pig onto her bosom. This little pig was purely white, its soft meat appearing as sparkling as a litchi, looking quite plump. It looked approximately a third of a meter tall, and its snow-white skin was in addition twinkling brilliantly. Yinger, what happened to you? Is that your summon? Long Haochen asked, confused, hisplexion looking already much better after a few hours of rest. Although, he wasnt in any condition to go to battle, he wasnt affected to the extent that he wouldnt be able to walk. Chen Yinger suddenly burst out in tears, violently throwing herself on her bed, still holding the same little pig and overflowing with tears. From her looks, she was suffering an indescribable pain. Lin Xin extended his head towards her, asking with a baffled look, How can it be that youre crying with such grievance? This little pig looks quite cute Want to have some roasted pork for dinner? As he said so, a little me was released from his finger. A plump pig-head peeked out from Chen Yingers embrace, fiercely staring at Lin Xin and blowing energetically towards him. Puhu. With this sound, the me on his finger suddenly disappeared. A?, this little pig is quite interesting! Yinger, this cant be your contracted summon, right? Lin Xinughed heartily as he asked so. As heughed so casually, Chen Yinger only cried even louder. Seeing this, Lin Xin couldnt keepughing. The others faces also changed immediately, and Wang Yuanyuan asked with some hesitation, Yinger, this cant really be Chen Yinger suddenly returned to a sitting position, looking at the others with her wet eyes puffy from crying, I I dont know how this could happen! Just then, at the time we took care of the carriages, Iunched my Creature Summoning Gate, and summoned this pig. At that time, you were battling the Bloodthirsty Beta, and as I saw that it didnt have any fighting capability, I just carried it in my arms. After the battle concluded, I thought of it as a cute animal and brought it back, but at that time, because you were in quite a bad shape, you probably didnt pay attention to it. I was originally thinking that since this pig looked so cute, it would naturally disappear with the termination of the magic. The summoned beasting out from my Creature Summoning Gate can after all only remain for three hours. But But it has already been more than four hours, and it hasnt disappeared at all. Seeing that it was still there at the moment I woke up, I was really frightened. I made haste to inspect my own soul contracts, and to my surprise At this point, everyone already guessed what happened. To everyones surprise, Chen Yinger actually concluded a contract with such a harmless livestock, a pig, letting it be her contracted summon in the process. Seeing the soft and wobbly appearance of the little white pig before her eyes, Chen Yinger couldnt help but sob even more. To a summoner, his contracted summon was more important than anything else because the contracted summon would follow the summoner forever, growing together with him. And the stronger the contracted beast naturally was, the greater its strength would be after the growth. A low level summoner would rely on his various summons, but a real summoner powerhouse would mainly rely on his own contracted beast! A more powerful contracted beast, even exceeding the summoners original level, would be bound to reach the realm of the tenth step once the summoner reached the ninth step. This made this vocation to be not inferior in any way to the others once reaching the level of powerhouse of the ninth step. Chen Yingers talent in the field of summoning was iparable to ordinary people, but, in regard to her contracted beast, the same rules still applied to her. At this moment, she had in spite of everything only a mere little pig as her contracted beast, leaving her unable to endure it! And even more importantly, she immediately thought of Yang Wenzhaos dazzling unicorn. Chen Yinger was full of regrets,?Why didnt I listen to the heroic elder Sheng Yuest time, and epted to take that Demonic Eye Ruler? Its true that its quite an ugly thing, but it has formidable strength! Now that I took such a little pig as my contracted beast, of what use can I possibly be for the team? I was originally useless on the battlefield, but now, I can only be excluded from the team. Dont cry What use is there to cry? An ice-cold voice suddenly rang out, giving off the soothing feeling of cool water, immediately stopping Chen Yingers shivering state. The others turned their heads in surprise; the one who spoke these words was actually Caier. Ever since the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad formed, Caier almost exclusively talked to Long Haochen. All she did was to follow him in silence, still her power and her importance to the team were undeniable. Even with todays fusion between Long Haochen and Haoyue into a Radiant Knight, she was incontestably the first powerhouse of the team, with the highest attack power. You cannot use your eyes to estimate a treasures value, but you may use your heart for it. Dont be fooled by your eyes. Would an ordinary small pig take the initiative to conclude a soul contract with you as summoner without bad conscience? Chapter 199 - Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig (I)

Chapter 199: Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales You cannot use your eyes to estimate a treasures value, but you may use your heart for it. Dont be fooled by your eyes. Would an ordinary small pig take the initiative to conclude a soul contract with you as summoner without bad conscience? Hearing Caiers words, Chen Yinger, who was previously sobbing, raised her head. In a simr fashion, the others felt astonished: no one could possibly have expected the normally silent Caier to unexpectedly say such words. She went directly to the main point, without any hesitation. Chen Yinger wiped the tears from her face, once again holding the little pig in her arms. Although she felt as reluctant as before, her mood was now a lot better, and she just dered helplessly, You What kind of ability do you have?! Making me feel such grievance You have to make up for it, and I dont care about what you have to say. Otherwise, Id rather have no contracted beast than keep you. Huu, huu The little pig groaned twice, its mouth twitched sessively and its pair of eyes lit up showing faint twisting undtions. As identical undtions appeared in Chen Yingers eyes, she immediately stared nkly at the little pig. This is the mental transmission So you are indeed not an ordinary pig. Lin Xin said with astonishment. Mental transmission was a particr ability used by some high ranked magical beasts. During the process of mental transmission, incredible changes appeared on Chen Yingers expression. At first, she looked stupefied, and then a happy expression gradually spread on her face, her lips raising up, producing a moving scene. Although no one knew what this pig transmitted to her, but from her look, one could see that this little pig was clearly not a good-for-nothing. No one was worried, waiting calmly. A short timeter, the twisted radiance in the pigs and Chen Yingers eyes gradually disappeared. Wah, so you were actually this powerful!? Chen Yinger held the little pig in her arms, saying these few words in his ears. Having an impetuous character, Sima Xian couldnt help but ask in reaction, Quickly say where this pigs strength lies. Chen Yinger giggled happily, Haha, I will no longer be useless on the battlefield, Im now as powerful as the others, wahaha. As she said so, she jumped up and started to dance out of joy. The others could only smile when seeing her cute and happy appearance, after having cried for so long. She looked extremely proud of herself, her joy even exceeding her previous worries. Long Haochen smiled as well, How about you tell us about it? It will also help everyone else to familiarize with your new ability. Chen Yinger proudly held the little pig, dering, He says he is called Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig, born as a magical beast of the sixth step. He is able to take on the appearance of any magical beast he met before, producing a perfect illusion. Hearing her words, everyones eyes filled with pleasure. Meeting formidable magical beasts was after all not too difficult. Long Haochen immediately asked her, Does he also have the imposing aura of the imitated magical beasts? Chen Yinger started, shaking her head, It seems that he doesnt. Wang Yuanyuan wrinkled her brows, Then, doesnt it make the illusion easy to see through? Chen Yinger replied with satisfaction, Its the so called Fake Reality and Real Faking: his ability is to imitate other creatures, and thats why he bears the name of Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig. But if we have their magic crystals, upon eating one, he can imitate any magical beast at most a step above his own level. Then, he is not only capable of using Mirror Image to take its shape, but can furthermore copy all its abilities for a total of ten minutes. As long as hes a magical beast of the sixth step, he can at most copy the power of magical beasts at the seventh step and demons at the sixth step. Lin Xin, leave the magic crystal of that Bloodthirsty Beta to me, my little pig will be able to absorb it after only one more evolution. Having heard Chen Yinger say so, everyone without exception looked pleasantly surprised. ording to her words, this Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig could actually use any ability of any magical beast of its grade, or one step above. Although this ability onlysted for ten minutes, as long as they had enough magical crystals, he would be able to keep unleashing power. And the crucial point of this ability lied in the two words of any. After a short period of joy, Lin Xin immediately put on a concerned face, Yinger, we already have Haoyue as a gluttonouspanion, but with you bringing one more of them in, our ie will never cover the fees! Being responsible for the teams finances, he naturally felt somewhat gloomy. Chen Yinger snorted and spoke in reply, You are the one responsible for that, I dont care about it. Furthermore, my little pig has another ability! Another one? This time, even Caier was surprised. Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig, this was a kind of magical beast they never heard of before. On the surface, his ability in itself wasnt so formidable, but as long as they had enough magical crystals, his prospects were simply boundless. This could already be called a special existence of an unprecedented kind. Furthermore, a contracted beast was bound to evolve as its masters level of cultivation rose. Chen Yinger was presently at the fourth step with only a small gap to the fifth step. Therefore, the moment she would level up, this little pig would also evolve. It wasnt easy to tell whether it would directly progress in step, but his future growth was already granted. To the team, this Mythic Mirror Image Pig possessing the ability to imitate any kind of magical beast appeared clearly more useful than a Demonic Eye Ruler. But even with such circumstances, he still had another ability. From this, it could be inferred that this pig was a high-end existence among his peers. Thats right, his other ability is called Treasure Scouting. If not for it, why would he be called a Mythic Treasure Pig? He told me that with his especially keen nose, he can smell treasures of heavenly level, and feel approaching danger in advance. As his rank progresses, his perception will be even better. Everyone looked at each other in surprise, disying grotesque faces one after another. Long Haochen immediately murmured, I suddenly think that our biggest gain from this mission might be the contracted summon Yinger obtained. With their Demon Hunt Squad having formed not long ago, they were still in the process of familiarizing themselves with each other, and although originally no one really ignored Chen Yingerpletely, with everyone progressing, if Chen Yinger kept having such an uncertain position, she would really be a burden on the battlefield, affecting the strength of the team as a whole. Although this feeling could temporarily be stifled, as time passed, there would perhaps havee a day it would have erupted. But it wasnt the same anymore, now that Chen Yinger possessed a contracted summon like this Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig. Her importance to the team increased by leaps and bounds, and she wouldnt be a burden anymore in the future, instead bing a great support improving their fighting power. Of course, it also implied that she would be the one to use the most of the teams resources. Everyone could be said to have their own secrets, and the fact Chen Yinger could use the Creature Summoning Gate was one of them. Now that she possessed this Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig, her ce in the team was undeniably secured. Im hungry! Captain, shouldnt we go eat before we continue to rest? I am feeling so hungry that my vision is bing blurred. Sima Xian groped his own belly as he said so. Long Haochen immediately decided, Alright, we should go eat then Everyone in the group, with the exception of Caier and Chen Yinger, had taken Spiritual Bursting Pills this time, and were now feeling extremely weak. Although it didnt affect their ability to walk, the feeling their internal spiritual energy gave off was hard to take. Feeling hungry would immediately make their vision blur. Opening their own barracks door, just as they were about to go out to look for some food, they happened to see threeyers of food boxes outside the door. We havent worked painstakingly for naught, the Exorcist Mountains military is really considerate. Sima Xian chuckled and immediately carried two boxes of food inside. The food inside was indeed sumptuous, and although it couldnt be called exquisite food, the meat was quite sufficient, and the meat soup had a delicious fragrance. Although it had already cooled down, with the presence of Lin Xins fire magic, there was no problem at all. Everyone ate heartily before returning to their respective beds to rest and recover some energy. Chen Yinger, who was still in great joy,municated a lot with this little pig of hers, and even gave him a name, which was McDull. The military was extremely pleased with the operation of the day before, and didnt directly assign them another mission, giving them some time to rest. Thissted until the start of the next day, when a new assemblemand was issued from the military drill ground. The Exorcist Mountains City was quite broad, because on its two sides were peaks belonging to the Exorcist Mountain Range, forming natural barriers. Thus, building it was quite troublesome, and after only adding walls on its right side, it could be considered secure. The military drill ground was located 500 meters away from the citys walls, forming a gathering ce customized for concentrating the troops and horses. At the time before Long Haochen left the city together with Sheng Lingxin, aplishing the night raid, it was the ce where the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment was waiting for orders. The 1st Demon Hunt Squad wasnt entirely gathered, Caier was resting in their living quarters. Now that Caier had already lost two of her senses, Long Haochen would definitely not let her take any risks. The side-effects of the Spiritual Bursting Pills already disappeared, but what worried Long Haochen was that Haoyue was still in a state of deep sleep. Although he was pretty sure that Haoyue didnt suffer any critical injuries, the fact that he hadnt woken up since the battle left Long Haochen anxious. On the military drill ground, the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads were reunited. Having had a day of rest, these young elites already returned to their optimum condition, each and every one being full of energy and quite a few of them looking excited. Actually, two days ago, they gained quite a great deal of contribution points. They didnt only kill a great amount of lower ranked demons, but at the same time, they reaped 200 contribution points as the mission reward, resulting in a few dozen per person after dividing them. Long Haochens group hadnt had time to divide their contribution points yet. Their 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad was the most weakened, and all along until the assembly order was dispatched, everyone was resting. Until then, they could only do their best to recover to the most optimal state possible. The single thing was that this day, Long Haochen felt iprehensibly feverish, his internal spiritual energys revolutions looking quite sluggish. Because Haoyue had yet to wake up, he was unable tomunicate with him. As for the sudden phenomenon of fusion between him and Haoyue, giving him the erupting strength of a Radiant Knight, Long Haochen also felt curious. What was this special ability of Haoyues? Chapter 200 - Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig (II)

Chapter 200: Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig (II)

He also never heard of a magical beastpanion that could fuse its body with a human. When thinking about that day, what left the most vivid memory was that intense explosion of internal spiritual energy. Long Haochen thought to himself that even if this was a powerful ability of Haoyue, with their current level of cultivation Haoyue and he couldnt put it to good use yet. Otherwise, why would the aftereffects be so severe? But anyway, this was a good thing, being able to suddenly erupt with fighting strength surpassing ones own cultivation was clearly quite a useful move. Seeing that Long Haochens group arrived, the other nine Demon Hunt Squad captains came over to greet him. As a matter of fact, Long Haochen disyed a formidable behaviour asmander the day before, leading the mission to be satisfactorilypleted. And furthermore, although they didnt get to see hisst move clearly, they still felt the intense energy originating from it. Having had such an experience, they involuntarily changed their perception of Long Haochen, in spite of his age. The ten leaders also knew everything, and seeing Long Haochen arrive, Gao Yingjie weed him, How are you? Did everyone have a good rest? Long Haochen murmured to him, Leader, Caier has sufferedparatively severe damage. She will have to rest for some more time. For the time being, Im afraid that she wont be able to apany us during missions. Gao Yingjie felt shaken, and thinking back to the first time Caier tried to use this power, only to be blocked by Sheng Yue, he felt quite understanding, and without asking further, only nodded to him. Leader, have you called us out this time for another mission? Sima Xian asked eagerly. Thest battle brought them important benefits: being subject to such pressure, he could feel his own internal spiritual energy increase by a wide margin, drawing extremely close to the threshold of the 2000th level. Maybe after going through a few more battles, he would be able to break through to some extent, bing a priest of the fifth step. After reaching the fifth step of cultivation, priests could learn quite a few more offensive abilities, making it so that the number of secret skills he would be able to learn upon returning to Holy City would obviously increase dramatically. Although Sima Xian didnt pronounce it, he felt quite impatient about increasing his own power. In the team, there was quite a gap between Wang Yuanyuans utility and his own. The earlier he would be able to reach the fifth step, the earlier he would be able to fulfill a more important role as a Discipline Priest. Gao Yingjie shook his head with a smile and replied, Everyone did well during yesterdays mission, and the Exorcist Mountains military is already plentily satisfied. Thus, they decided to allot you a total of three days of rest, to give you sufficient time to train and improve your cultivation. After all, you are not real soldiers, but came here to get some experience. But today, we called you toe for a good reason! You will get to know about it in a bit. Just as they finished talking, quite a few people arrived. It wasnt only the military, but also some assassinspletely d in ck, their heads included. The one who gave them their previous mission was at the top front, and the 1st Demon Hunt Squad immediately noticed the case in his hand. It was exactly the one they retrieved from that Bloodthirsty Betas hands, during the battle against the demons logistics team. Everyone unconsciously looked at Long Haochen, who also felt confused, thinking about what Gao Yingjie just said.?Could it be that the Exorcist Mountain Pass ns to give us the thing in that case? At that moment, Gu Jin already stepped forward, together with those few assassins. After greeting their leader Gao Yingjie, he immediately turned towards the ten Demon Hunt Squads. You really deserve to be called the most outstanding generation of geniuses produced by the Alliance. You aplished the mission smoothly,pletely annihting the demons logistics team. Now, at least several tens of thousands of their main armies demons are going to starve. You did a good deed to our Exorcist Mountain Pass, and the army as well as the civilians will engrave it forever into their memory. For this reason, I thank you on behalf of the military as well as the people. This Gu Jin, who turned out to be a warrior, stamped the ground with his right foot, performing a warrior salute towards the ten Demon Hunt Squads. Demon Hunt Squad members generally used the etiquette of their own Temple to salute one another. Having received their approval to these youths was an extreme glory. At least up till now, their examination was going smoothly. Gu Jin said with a smile, I would like to introduce these three eldersing from the Heroic Hall of the Assassin Temple to everyone. Assassins from the Heroic Hall? Hearing Gu Jings introduction, these youths from the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads felt startled. The Heroic Hall was the most mysterious ce of the Assassin Temple,prising a total of thirty-six Heroic Assassins. Each of these Heroic Assassins was an existence belonging to the eighth step, forming the most powerful part of the Assassin Temple. The auxiliary hall master Ying Suifeng that Long Haochen met previously was exactly the leader of these Heroic Assassins. So these three are actually powerhouses of the eighth step? Then for what purpose did theye? Just at that time, the ck d man who stood in the front, took a few steps forward. But no extraordinary aura was emanating from his body, nor any sign of life, it just gave people a faint sensation of emptiness. But everyone knew that these people were the real assassin powerhouses, able to blend into any kind of environment. Greetings, children. I am the 19th Heroic Assassin of the Heroic Hall. The ck d mans voice was somewhat gloomy, even sounding quite rough. But every Demon Hunt Squad member felt tense, and stood upright, as though they were wooden sticks. Calmly standing before them was one of the thirty six Heroic Assassins, who only gave their numbers instead of naming themselves. Seeing one for the very first time, many felt nervous. First of all, we would like to express our gratitude for everything you did for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Captain of the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, please step forward. Long Haochen took two steps forward, making a fist with his left hand and cing it on his left chest. Then, he replied with a loud, Long Haochen, captain of the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad reports. This 19th Heroic Assassin seemed quite easy-going. With a humble smile on his face, he said to him, No need be so formal. You should recognize the case in Gu Jins hands, right? Long Haochen nodded and replied, Yes, I do. This is the one we seized from the enemies hands as we carried out yesterdays mission. The 19th Heroic Knight faintly nodded back, Thats right. You did well, and in recognition of your exceptional behaviour of handing this object to us, the Assassin Temple decided to reward you with 500 contribution points. Pleasee to ept them. 500 contribution points? Hearing this number almost caused an uproar. In fact, the weakest of the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads didnt even gather 500 points in total, and this included the 200 contribution points they all got as this missions reward. The fact that the Assassin Temple took such an initiative, unexpectedly rewarding the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad with 500 contribution points, immediately made the other Demon Hunt Squads restless. The 19th Heroic continued in a loud but indifferent voice, Dont worry everyone. I can tell you that this wasnt a test mission but a real one, and that the case Long Haochen handed to us is actually worth at least ten times this amount of contribution points. I will now reveal the contents of this case! This was a reward of the Assassin Temple! Long Haochen naturally wouldnt refuse it. Under the eyes of his teammates, he went in front of the 19th Heroic Assassin and exposed his contribution tile. To the surprise of many, the 19th Heroic Assassin exposed his own left hand and revealed an icy-blue-colored tile, directing it toward Long Haochens toplete the exchange sessfully. This 19th Heroic Assassin turned out to be a Demon Hunter as well? Demon Hunt Squad members were collectively known as Demon Hunters, and since this Heroic Assassin possessed a contribution tile, he also had his own team. To possess such an assassin, how strong could his team be? Perhaps they even had a sufficient strength to kill a demon god. After Long Haochen received the contribution points, he returned to the side of the other youths. Pertaining to the contents of that case, he was curious as well. In the end, what kind of treasure could it be to leave that powerhouse of the eighth step full of praise? The Heroic Assassin finally dered indifferently, If the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad didnt hand over this case, Im afraid that none of you would have known about this thing, but they actually never opened this case, and I can ascertain for that fact. A warrior from another team couldnt help but ask, Heroic Senior, how can you be so sure of this? The 19th Heroic Assassin made a gesture to Gu Ni, who joined his side withrge steps. Then, the formidable assassin directly opened the case in his hands, dering openly, Because the people who can resist the attraction of that thing are just too few. As he spoke, his fingers shook slightly, opening the case, and immediately, a dense light essence emerged from that case. The soft light essence carried a hint of white, giving an awe-inspiring impression to everyone. A delicate silhouette immediately came out from inside, spreading its two wings, attempting to fly with a dispirited expression. In a split second, everyone unconsciously opened their eyes wide, and more than half of them cried out in surprise, A Light Elemental Fairy! Everyone from the 1st Demon Hunt Squad previously carried an excited face when seeing him obtain 500 contribution points, but except from Long Haochens, now all their faces became stiff. Against all expectations, it was a spiritual stove, and a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove at that!?Each and every one of them had a lifeless look in their eyes, looking at that Light Elemental Fairys struggling attempt to fly,pletely filled with regret. Even Gao Yingjie immediately felt the same as them. If they knew earlier that this case contained a Light Elemental Fairy, no matter how Long Haochen opposed it, they would absolutely not have consented to hand it over to the higher-ups. Let alone 500 contribution points, even if it were 5,000 or 50,000 of them, it wouldnt be worth a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove! But spiritual stoves couldnt be given a value, because in the right hands, they possessed unlimited potential! At least within the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen, Han Yu and Sima Xian were all able to use this kind of spiritual stove, making it extremely fitting for them. Long Haochens perception was different from other peoples. At this time everyone else was feeling regret, and even pain. But now, he only felt pity. He didnt feel that the pity was that he lost the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, but it was pity for the Light Elemental Fairying from that case. At the split second its aura was dispersed, this feeling involuntarily appeared in the depths of his heart. Meanwhile, the asional waves of heat in his body just became more intense. Chapter 201 - Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig(III)

Chapter 201: Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig(III)

Long Haochen immediately thought with astonishment about the scorching heat he felt at that time.?So it wasnt because of the blood contract fusion with Haoyue, but that little guy before my eyes? It wasnt in good shape, but in a quite weak one. The light essence of its body even appeared quite unstable. In such a state, it looked like it could disappear into nothingness at anytime. Todays weather was pretty good. The body of the Light Elemental Spiritual Fairy was bathed in sunlight, which improved its dispirited mood a little. It was now striving hard in its attempt to fly. But in front of that Heroic Hall Assassin, how could it possibly escape? That 19th Heroic Assassin didnt have a particrly strong reaction, only covering the top of its head with his hand, making all its attempts futile. All the members of the 2nd to the 10th Demon Hunt Squads, who had just been feeling jealous because of the contribution points the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad earned, immediately had a change of mood. They didnt even sneer at them: this was simply a tant example of letting go of the big prize while grabbing at trifles. Inparison to a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, 500 contribution points were simply a drop of water in the ocean! This applied foremost for the priests and knights as well as the few light element mages of the Demon Hunt Squads. At that time, the eyes of each and every of them turned blue. If they could obtain this Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, their strength was bound to immediately increase by leaps and bounds. The 19th Heroic Assassins eyes were ck, having a deep yet reserved look. Looking at the expression on each of these Demon Hunt Squad members faces, he secretly felt that although these children were outstanding, they were after all still too young. They werent good at all at concealing their real thoughts, but it was still good like that: at least they had a sufficiently frank behaviour. Now you should realize what I am speaking about. The 19th Heroic Assassin smiled before continuing, We were also quite astonished at the time we saw this thing. Hall Master Sheng Yue said that since this thing has been obtained during the mission your ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads aplished, our Assassin Temple will absolutely not keep it for ourselves. The action we judged appropriate was to give it to you as reward. Immediately after he finished hisst sentence, the audience broke out in cheers. Everyone was clear on the utility of spiritual stoves, and this Light Elemental Stove was one of the easiest to absorb. No one possibly expected that the Assassin Temple would be willing to part with such a treasure and give it to them as reward. Just like Sheng Yue foresaw, the good impression these youngsters had of the Assassin Temple immediately reached new heights. But since there is only a single Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, and more than a third of you are able to use it, we cannot divide it to give it as a collective reward. For this reason only one of you will get it. Who this person will be will depend on your luck as well as your understanding of the light element. Now, all light element users among your ranks pleasee forward. Upon being addressed like that by the 19th Heroic Assassin, the knights, mages? and priests of the ten Demon Hunt Squads stepped forward in session, each of them appearing somewhat impatient. Among them, the one who thirsted for it the most and also had the highest hopes of atteining it, was the captain of the 4th squad, the only priest of the fifth step, Luc Xi. Compared to knights, priests generally had a better sense and affinity with light. Relying mostly on healing, they were the leading experts atmunicating with light. On this aspect, Luc Xi was in particr a genius among geniuses. He reached the conclusion that his understanding of the light element would absolutely not be inferior to any of the other youths present. A Light Elemental Spiritual Stove! If he could get it, he would definitely sweep through the bottleneck of the sixth step without hindrance. Even if, under normal circumstances, Luc Xi was quite stable in his training, his heartbeat could not help but elerate just by thinking about it. Who else can possibly surpass me with his affinity with light? This Light Elemental Fairy will inevitably be mine! Each of them had some longing for the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, but the difference was that those whose cultivation was only at the fourth step would mostly leave it to chance, whereas the few who reached the fifth step were brimming with strong longing and self-confidence. Almost all of the ones at the fifth step came from the Knight Temple. It was the case for Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi, Han Yi and another knight. The priests, the knights and the two light element mages, forming a total of 23 people, were standing in a semicircle in front of the 19th Heroic Assassin. Everything will be left to fate. Whatever they are, dontin about the results. Otherwise, dont me me for being violent. The 19th Heroic Assassins voice suddenly rose coldly. Compared to his previous disy, making him appear as light as air, he currently looked like a god-killer, the instantly and intense eruption of his character left everyone unable to help but shiver. Long Haochen also felt that killing intent, waking up him from his feeling of pity for the Light Elemental Fairy. Raising his head, he looked at the little silhouette struggling under the grip of the nearby 19th Heroic Assassin, immediately wrinkling his brows. Each of you may release his aura. An immaterial-like grey stream of mist filled the air around the 19th Heroic Assassin. Rapidly spreading to the sky, it took the shape of a dome, filled with ice-cold and dense killing intent. Having done so, he withdrew his hand, immediately letting the little fairy soar up. But it only flew a few meters, before shivering anding back down, clearly feeling terrible fear toward the mist blocking the sky. It was also at that time that all the surrounding light essence seemed to ascend at once. With a flicker of bright light, each of the knights, priests and mages, having the opportunity to obtain the fairy, released their aura of light with full strength, looking at the little thing, full of desire. The only exception was Long Haochen. He didnt release his own internal spiritual energy at all, only standing there and looking at that helpless little fellow. From his gentle eyes, some information seemed to be transmitted. Twitching his lips, he seemed to say a few words in the direction of the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. Yang Wenzhao was standing at the right side of Long Haochen, and could clearly see his movements. In the next instant, he looked dumbstruck as the little Light Elemental Fairy who, obviously suddenly attracted, flew towards Long Haochen. A smile appeared on Long Haochens handsome face. As he calmly lifted his right hand, that small Light Elemental Spiritual Stove immediatelynded on his palm. At such a close distance, he could see the little girl even more clearly. The Light Elemental Spiritual Stove was entirely snow white, as if she was sculpted from the purest rock crystal. d in a milky white skirt, her fair arms and slender legs were exposed. Her blond hair was draped over her shoulders like a tiny waterfall, reaching down to her feet. A pair of translucent wings batted incessantly at her sides while her long hair fluttered uncontrobly in the air. The most peculiar fact was that her two pointed little ears peeking out from her blond hair, which was a typical fairy feature. Her golden eyes seemed as limpid as Long Haochens, the only difference was that hers looked helpless, weak, and dull. Under everyones nk stares, the Light Elemental Fairynded dexterously on Long Haochens palm. Looking at him, they seemed puzzled, even appearing at a loss. At Luc Xis side, golden fog was being condensed, but at the moment he saw that Light Elemental Fairy fall into Long Haochens hand, he immediately became nk. How is it possible!? Hes a knight, but Im a priest! How can he have even better affinity with light than I do??His heart wasnt filled with jealousy, but with surprise. No matter how one looked at it, the final winner should be him! But that Light Elemental Fairy didnt spare him a single nce from beginning to end, and flew almost directly to Long Haochen. Long Haochens gentle eyes seemed to carry a tender affection. Using his fingers to caress her blond hair, he gently told her, Be at ease, I will honour my promise! The 19th Heroic Assassin revealed a faint smile, dering, Looks like our little fellow made her choice. This was a fair process, and the Assassin Temple doesnt wish to see any discontent behaviour! All right, my duty is now done. Long Haochen, congrattions. Long Haochen raised his head and looked at the 19th Heroic Assassin, respectfully making his salutations, Please pass my deepest thanks to the heroic senior, mister Heroic Assassin. After nodding to Long Haochen, the 19th Heroic Assassin immediately left in the direction of the two other Heroic Assassins, the killing intent in his eyes disappearing at the same instant. Gao Yingjie naturally aimed a nce at Long Haochen, saying with a smile, Congrattions, Haochen. Lets leave, Im apanying you to your living quarters. As he said so, he intentionally nced at the surrounding people that immediately seemed to be filled with envy. Suddenly, these envious looks were concealedpletely. Although these youngsters were aware that they couldnt possibly fight over it by force, having Gao Yingjie at his side would naturally prevent any needlessplications. Just as treasuring a jade ring bes a crime, the current Long Haochen didnt dare to immediately assimte the Light Elemental Fairy. Sima Xianughed quite loud, Captain is really our captain. The thing that ought to be ours still came back to us. We have to celebrate that! Seeing Long Haochen receive the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, the previously depressed members of the 1st squad suddenly had a 180 degrees change in their moods. But Long Haochen didnt say anything, leading hisrades back to their own living quarters. Following Long Haochen and the others with his eyes, Duan Yi arrived at Yang Wenzhaos side, saying indifferently, From the looks of it, the distance between him and us is just increasing each day. Yang Wenzhao replied with a sigh, Everyone has their own opportunities, we cannot do anything about it. But we can still strive with our best efforts to make such opportunities appear to us as well. Duan Yi smiled, Well said. If you want to do something well, do it yourself; personal strength will always be the basis of everything. Lets leave, we should also return. Lets take advantage of the holiday to train peacefully. Long Haochen and the others returned to their living quarters. As they went in, everyone couldnt help but rejoice in acmation. Haha, so pleasing! Did you see the expressions on the others faces? Especially that Luc Xi from the 4th squad, hisplexion was so horrible that he looked like he was almost about to turn green with envy. Sima Xian said with a belly full ofughter, paying no attention at all to the fact the Light Elemental Fairy didnt choose him. He originally didnt have any chances with his cultivation being still at the fourth step. Chapter 202 - Light Elemental Spiritual Stove (I)

Chapter 202: Light Elemental Spiritual Stove (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Although deep inside, Han Yu felt some regret, he still considered that they were lucky that the one who got the Light Elemental Fairy was Long Haochen. Lin Xin murmured with a smile, This is really excellent. Now that captain has a Light Elemental Fairy, our groups strength will rise again. Caier, who was originally sitting cross-legged stood up, and Chen Yinger immediately told her the previous course of events, still holding McDull. Long Haochen immediately shook his head and asked, Do you know why the Light Elemental Fairy chose me? Everyone, still in a state of excitement, immediately started, directing puzzled looks at him. Long Haochen said with a smile, It is because I used my internal spiritual energy to convey my pledge on the name of the light that as long as she chose me, I would give her her freedom back to her. Eh? Everyone immediately looked startled, looking at Long Haochen with some iprehension. Long Haochen calmly moved to the side, pushing the window of the living quarters open. The outside sunshine fell into the room, covering his handsome face with faint golden light, just like the one his heart was made of. Long Haochen supported the light Elemental Spiritual Stove with his hands, and dered, Elemental Fairies are made of the purest elemental essence on Earth. How can we force one into submission? Didnt you see how gloomy her look was, having lost her freedom? Im afraid that she even already forgot how to smile. She should rather go back and return to nature, to embrace the light. Once again tenderly stroking the Light Elemental Fairys long hair, Long Haochen whispered quietly, Go. In the future, be more careful, and dont get captured again. As he said so, he lifted his hand to the window, letting the sunshine softly illuminate the little Light Elemental Fairys body. Lin Xin and Sima Xian looked stunned, Chen Yinger was still puzzled, Wang Yuanyuan appeared full of admiration, and Han Yu stared, dull, not saying anything. Even Gao Yingjie had an unconvinced expression. Only Caier disyed a soft smile, hidden behind her veil. _Thats right! Hes acting so foolishly, but its precisely because of his kind heart that hes my idiot._ The Light Elemental Fairy spread her wings, and after she gave Long Haochen a nce, she suddenly turned around, flying to the sky with a little swish. Quickly, she went up to the roof. When her entire body bathed in sunlight her glowing white took on a hint of gold. Floating in midair, she lowered her head, staring dully at the living quarters below, her pretty andrge eyes softly blinking as if pondering about something. General headquarters of the Assassin Temple. Listening to the 19th Heroic Assassins report, Sheng Yue disyed a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. It looks like this little guy understood my intention well. The 19th Heroic Assassin curiously asked, Hall Master, could it be that you knew in advance that the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove would choose Long Haochen? Sheng Yue nodded his head and replied, I naturally did. This was my tactic to kill two birds with one stone, disying our goodwill in regards to these young children while handing the spiritual stove to Long Haochen. No matter what, as her great-grandfather, I should give some presents to my own great-granddaughter. The stronger he grows, the better he will protect Caier. The 19th Heroic Assassin immediately asked, Does this Long Haochen actually have such strong affinity with light? At that time, it seemed as if that Light Elemental Spiritual Stove had no hesitation at all when flying in his direction. The other youngsters were simply staring nkly, to the extent that we couldnt even carry out a real selection! Sheng Yue smiled faintly, Dont ask so much. Go back to your business now. Yes. Carrying some iprehension and curiosity, the 19th Heroic Assassin left. Sheng Yue seemed to be pondering for some more time, It looks like this kid, Haochen, has an even greater affinity with light than I imagined. The Light Elemental Fairy actually didnt show the slightest resistance! It truly deserves to be called the constitution of the Scion of Light! With the presence of the Scion of Light, how could the others have the slightest chance!? Hehe, if the old Yang Haohan knew about it, he would definitely praise my craftiness. Nheless, no matter how they react, this is convenient for their Knight Temple. How could Sheng Yue know that it wasnt by relying on his special physique as the Scion of Light at all that Long Haochen managed to take this Light Elemental Fairy away, and that he actually didnt let out the slightest bit of light essence. What he relied on was his kind and merciful heart. Living quarters. Long Haochen received everyones contribution points for this mission, before once again checking the total amount. This improved the mood of everyone greatly: they originally felt depressed about the fact that he released the Light Elemental Fairy. During the mission, they killed four Dark Green Dual ded Demon, six eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers, and a great amount of ordinary Dual ded Demons and Demon Eye Soldiers, producing in total about 300 contribution points. This number in itself far surpassed the other teams scores. After all, the demons they faced were far stronger. In addition to this, they were awarded 700 contribution points this time, in addition to the 1,000 the Bloodthirsty Beta brought them. With a single mission, they unexpectedly gained close to 2,000 contribution points! After dividing them evenly, everyone had approximately 360 contribution points, and because of the equal splitting, there was at most a single contribution point of difference between everyone. Without counting Han Yus score, the team already had a total of 2,520 points. This was quite a terrific score! They were after all a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad, and gaining such ample amount of contribution points was already not only a matter of strength, but also rted to their luck. Based on this score, they were now bound to be the final winners of the team contest. And until the time of the final evaluation, they would gain even more points. Having divided the contribution points, Long Haochen acted as if that Light Elemental Fairy never existed, and instructed with a smile, All right, lets train seriously, everyone. Lin Xin, we will have to bother you again regarding the pills. Lin Xin chuckled in reaction, I have never seen such good material as a Bloodthirsty Beta. I happen to have some recipes I want to try out. If it turns out to be sessful, it will give us a sure advantage for our future operations. Leader, is there an auction house in Exorcist City? Gao Yingjie nodded and replied, Yes, there is. Exorcist Mountain Pass being such an important city, the Alliances great auction house naturally has branches here. What are you nning to do? Lin Xin spoke back, I am obviously going to sell some things. Now that we have Yingers huge consumer, making money is a necessity! They hadnt concealed anything from Gao Yingjie pertaining to Chen Yingers Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig. Gao Yingjie smiled, Alright, for now, have a rest. When there is a new mission, you will naturally be informed. Gao Yingjie left and everyone went back to their respective beds. Their desire to cope with demonkind was just growing stronger with time, but currently, they were just negligible inparison to the formidable demon race. Only by continuously increasing their strength would they be able to sessfullyplete more challenging missions. Thus, the priority for now was to be more powerful. The probing period of three month had only just started, and they were also gradually forming a true team. Although they were far from being able to understand each other without speaking, they still reached a good level of understanding. Everyone was intelligent enough, therefore it was now only a matter of time before they reached new heights. Long Haochen pulled Caier back to their bed, Caier, how have you been feeling today? Is there any ce that makes you feel unwell? Caier lightly shook her head, leaning on Long Haochens shoulder and replying in a low voice, I got used to it long ago. You dont need to worry. Actually, although I am somewhat affected by the loss of my sense of smell, I can still endure it. Long Haochen eximed, You have to keep your promise! Until you recover your sense of smell, I wont let you take any risk. Even though I have never undergone the training rted to the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, I can imagine that since you are already blind, the further loss of your sense of smell will strongly impair your ability to gather information from your surroundings! This is bound to affect your strength greatly. Listen to me and have a good rest here. I promised that I would protect you for all my life! Caier revealed a soft smile, I will listen to you. When she was in private with Long Haochen, all her coldness would turn into tenderness, just as if she was a sort of sweet little cat. Just at that time, Caiers ears suddenly twitched, and Long Haochen unconsciously lifted his head, because a twitching sensation appeared in his body. A small chink appeared on the cloth surrounding the bed, and a white silhouette stealthily came in. Long Haochen stopped Caier who was about to lift her hand, Dont worry, its that Light Elemental Fairy. Thats right, it was precisely the little Light Elemental Fairy that suddenly appeared on their bed couch. Maybe due to the sunlight she absorbed, she looked better than before. At least, she didnt look as dispirited. Gazing at Long Haochen, she floated in midair and rested her chin on her hands. Aside from her extremely small size, she really looked identical to humans. Feeling her familiar aura, Long Haochen smiled, lifting up his right hand and waving to her. The Light Elemental Fairy folded her small wings, quietly falling on Long Haochens palm. A soft white radiance continuously twinkled on her body, and Long Haochens scorching sensation just became even more violent. How is it that you came back? Do you still feel unwell and need my help? As he asked, Long Haochen quickly let out a drip of pure light element essence. The mild-golden liquid circted to his palm, and the Light Elemental Fairy immediately opened her eyes wide, using her small hands without hesitation to take some of the pure liquid light essence and drink it in a hurry. Immediately, her pure white body was covered by ayer of gold, and her golden eyes ordingly lit up. Her originally hesitant look towards Long Haochen instantly became a pleasantly surprised one. Wu, wu, wu The Light Elemental Fairy mumbled a series of words in anguage Long Haochen didnt understand, which seemed to be an elvennguage. Immediately, she hugged one of Long Haochens fingers, and bit it with strength. This scene looked quite funny, appearing as if she was trying to eat an ice popsicle. Chapter 203 - Light Elemental Fairy (II)

Chapter 203: Light Elemental Fairy (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales It was a pity that the Light Elemental Fairys physique was weak; she was unable to pierce the skin of Long Haochens finger, because his external spiritual energy made it too thick. The Light Elemental Fairy immediately became impatient, hopping up and down on Long Haochens palm, her pleasantly surprised look turning into an excited and eager one. What are you doing? Why are you biting my finger? Long Haochen asked with some curiosity. On his side, Caier also looked surprised, Shes biting your finger? Could it be that she needs your blood? Why would an Elemental Fairy need a humans blood? It could only be for one reason, to conclude a contract with him. Long Haochen gave a surprised look to the Light Elemental Fairy on his palm, Could it be that you want to stay by my side? The Light Elemental Fairy nodded vigorously without hesitation. Looking at her, it seemed as though she couldnt be more willing to do just that. Just as if to her, staying by Long Haochens side would be greatly convenient. Now it was Long Haochens turn to be pleasantly surprised. Even though he restrained his internal longing and set this little fellow free, he was still a knight, and as such, how could he not wish to obtain something like a Light Element Spiritual Stove? Since this little fellow was willing to stay, Long Haochen didnt have any objections, immediately using his right hand to form an edge of light de to make a little cut on his own fingertip. A drip of blood came out, and the Light Elemental Fairy immediately used her own little hand to touch Long Haochens blood. With a little p of her wings, she soared up while a golden radiance erupted from her mouth. It merged with Long Haochens blood, and turned it into a pure golden color. At the moment, this small Light Elemental Fairy had quite a serious face. The white radiance surrounding her body vanished and pure golden symbols appeared. Long Haochen felt as if the scorching feeling in his body was affected by the symbols, immediately increasing to its peak. He couldnt help but shake intensely, his entire body swaying, but because of Caiers supporting hand, he didnt fall down. On his chest, a pure white brilliance emerged, immediately turning his clothes into dust. The brilliance formed a 90 centimeters long little cauldron that started floating before his chest. It was the Saint Spiritual Stove! The current Saint Spiritual Stove differed to some extent from thest time he saw it. The previous veined lines on it had spread, and it seemedrger. Its insides were filled with golden liquid spiritual energy, and from its appearance, it looked just like a cup of the glorious era, made of amber and filled with excellent wine. As she saw the Saint Spiritual Stove, two golden mes ignited in the Light Elemental Fairys eyes. Immediately, she moved her hands rhythmically, doing her utmost to speed the process up. The Saint Spiritual Stove slowly drifted, arriving in front of her. Drop after drop of golden liquid were trembling inside, and without need for Long Haochen to do anything, that golden liquid naturally condensed to identical symbols as the ones the Light Elemental Fairy produced. After a short time, the symbols on the two sides werepleted and suddenly merged together. Their fusion immediately produced a glint of bright light, causing even the courageous Light Elemental Fairy to shoot out at Caiers direction. Long Haochen just felt as if his whole body waspletely filled with red-hot warmth. Instinctively, his body immediately sat cross-legged. The odd symbol directly engraved on the Saint Spiritual Stove, and immediately following, Long Haochens chest was illuminated by a symbol of a pure golden color. The two parties appeared to have undergone a process of fusion. Shutting her two eyes, the Light Elemental Fairy gave the image of a devout young girl, her two hands folded in front of her chest, calmly floating in midair. The pure gold color and the paler golden color finally merged perfectly into a single entity, turning into an extremely limpid golden color. This golden symbol prated Long Haochens chest once again, gently rising up, before stopping after reaching the space between Long Haochens eyebrows. At this moment, the others of the 1st squad suddenly awoke with a start, because of the sudden burst of such strong light essence. The ones who felt it first were Sima Xian and Han Yu. Both of them being light element users as well, they immediately noticed that the dense light attribute internal spiritual energy in their bodies was gathering two times faster/twice as fast than normal. Whats going on? Wang Yuanyuan immediately picked up her Divine Soul Shield. Dont move. He is okay. That Light Elemental Spiritual Stove came back again, and took the initiative to initiate a contract with him. Caier didnt fall down after being shot at, and was now standing on the ground, preventing the others from approaching the bed. At that time, everyone could only see bright light bursting out from behind the curtains, making the light essence in the whole living quarters especially plentiful. Han Yu suddenly remarked, Sima Xian, hurry up and cultivate. By relying on that dense light essence, maybe youll break through your bottleneck! Although Sima Xian was by nature straightforward, he was still quite intelligent and immediately understood what Han Yu meant. He hurried to take thest Spiritual Bursting Pill he had, which he was originally quite unwilling to part with, and made an effort to let his body enter the state of cultivation. Caier calmly stood there, motionless, sensing every movement in the surroundings. The moment one fused with a spiritual stove was for any vocation the time when they would be the most vulnerable. Therefore, she had to protect Long Haochen during this time. Just at that moment, Haoyue who had slept at the side of the room, suddenly lifted his heads. His six eyes glinting purple, a shapeless terrible aura burst forth from his body. The Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig held against Chen Yingers chest slipped away from her embrace, hiding behing Chen Yingers legs. Everyone including Caier felt a terrible force and staredpletely shocked at Haoyue. Haoyues terrible intent wasnt directed at them, but he roared three times toward the curtain in front of Long Haochen, robustlying to his feet. Having already slept for quite a long time, as soon as he stood up, everyone could vaguely feel that Haoyues body grew quite bigger, but the even more distinct feature was that he seemed even more robust than before. The others didnt understand anything in particr from Haoyues low-pitched growl, but seated on the bed couch, Long Haochen wasnt the same. The golden symbol that reached his forehead immediately caused him intense pain. In the middle of Long Haochens forehead, nine purple symbols gradually appeared, giving off a strong oppressive aura that fiercely collided with the golden symbol. Long Haochen suddenly shouted, spouting out blood, and the Light Elemental Fairy in front of him instantly turned pale. Opening her eyes wide, she was horrified to see those purple symbols. At that moment, the purple symbols seemed toe alive. An ice-cold, terrifying and overbearing aura was continuously released from within them. Long Haochen had alreadye back to his senses, He would never have expected that his Saint Spiritual Stove wouldnt obstruct but help his fusion with the Light Element Fairy, but his blood contract with Haoyue on the other hand would actually have a strong resistance against the fusion. Regarding the reason, not only Long Haochen but even a powerhouse of the ninth step wouldnt be clear about it. Compared to other spiritual stoves, an Elemental Fairys greatest superiority lied in its extremely high intelligence. This Light Elemental Spiritual Stove originally didnte back only because of Long Haochens kindness, but more precisely because her body was in such a very weak state. With her delicate senses, she could feel that many powerhouses were present in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and that she waspletely unable to hide her presence from them. Even though Long Haochen released her, she was afraid of being captured by others if she tried to leave. Since this was the case, she would rather stay with a kind-hearted human like Long Haochen than others. But at the time she arrived in front of Long Haochen and had a taste of his liquid spiritual energy, she discovered that the human before her eyes actually possessed a special physique, the physique of a Scion of Light. In the fairy world, this existence wasnt called Scion of Light, but to her, Long Haochens physique was more valuable than any treasure in the world. As long as she could stay together with Long Haochen, she would not only have no need to worry about her injury, but she would be also able to evolve much faster than the others of her kin. After continuously strengthening, maybe she would one day even Therefore, the Light Elemental Fairy didnt have the slightest hesitation, and immediately chose to fuse with Long Haochen. The golden symbol produced after the fusion was the contract mark between the two of them. To an Elemental Fairy, this contract mark in particr had a different meaningpared to ordinary spiritual stoves. Clearly, in his capacity of Scion of Light, Long Haochen would very possibly be able to absorb other spiritual stoves in the future, and maybe even another Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. For this reason, she wanted to give her contract the greatest priority possible, choosing to integrate into the cavity between Long Haochens eyebrows. But how could she have expected that her act of greediness would provoke Haoyues strong opposition. Haoyues blood contract with Long Haochen was already existing between his eyebrows, and this ce could only hold a single contract, the one that would remain of highest priority to Long Hoachen forever, the one able to influence all of his other contracts. With his dignity being assaulted, Haoyue couldnt possibly stay asleep. Although the Light Elemental Fairy was by nature quite pure, in front of Haoyues blood contract, she was just powerless. However, this strong opposition urred within Long Haochens body, and the emotions Haoyue had for Long Haochen were just like the ones of a son towards his father or a little brother towards his big brother. Having felt that Long Haochens body suffered serious injuries, Haoyue immediately retracted his bodys aura, and on Long Haochens forehead, the symbols slowly disappeared. If Haoyue had had the same temperament as in the past, he would definitely have destroyed the Light Elemental Fairypletely, so as to not let Long Haochen absorb her pure light essence. But before Haoyue interfered, while Long Haochen was still in a deep state of concentration, the contract had already beenpleted. If he had chosen to destroy the Fairy, Long Haochens soul would have sustained severe damage. Thus, Haoyue had chosen to let the Light Elemental Fairy go this time. Sensing the disappearance of the constricting feeling, the Light Elemental Fairy didnt dare have any more extravagant hopes. That golden symbol went down, settling down into Long Haochens chest. As for her, she leaped lightly, falling into the Saint Spiritual Stove. There she bathed in the golden liquid spiritual energy. Chapter 204 - Light Elemental Fairy (III)

Chapter 204: Light Elemental Fairy (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The traces of pain on Long Haochens face seemed to lessen, but as the Saint Spiritual Stove returned to his body, a sudden surge of even more intense pain erupted. A rich reddish-golden me melted Long Haochens and Caiers first home almost instantly, making him directly fall down to the ground. From the effects of the sudden sunlight fire, what was left of his clothes burned, leaving nothing behind. By chance, that reddish-golden me formed a perfect screen, making it so that only his silhouette could be seen faintly, making his situation look unclear. Haoyue stared at Long Haochen, Little Light ring the most, intensely exuding a surge of helplessness from his eyes, before once again lying down on the ground, and closing his six eyes. A ball of simr sunlight fire appeared above Haoyues head, moving rhythmically. But at thatst moment, everyone could be said to be quite rxed. Chen Yinger patted her chest, pulling McDull who was hiding behind her into her arms, The fusion with a spiritual stove is actually so frightening?! Even though this Light Elemental Fairy is so little, she is actually so powerful! Lin Xin murmured, Moral quality! This is what moral quality brings! Good things happen to good people. Captain released her, but she chose toe back. What is it if not moral quality? Han Yu kept silent on his side. Except for Caier, he was the only one who knew about Long Haochens status as Scion of Light. Seeing that sunlight fire emanating from Long Haochens body, he could only feel full admiration. _Indeed, hes the favorite of nature. It looks like I have to exert more efforts, otherwise, I will never catch up with Master._ However, the envy burning in him onlysted for a few seconds. Immediately sitting cross-legged, he entered the state of meditation. That dense light aura had, after all, a lot of benefits for him. As for the others, despite not possessing the light attribute, they were still quite familiar with light. Such intense light aura had various benefits for their own cultivation. Only Caier didnt start cultivating, simply standing there like a sculpture. No one doubted that if anyone dared to approach Long Haochen, Caier would immediately intervene. The pure essence of light released from Long Haochens body was absolutely not something the living barracks could contain; all neighbouring soldiers reacted, and Gao Yingjie, who had just left, immediately sensed it. _How could this happen? Could it be that Haochen is fusing with the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove?_ With no hesitation, Gao Yingjie immediately turned back, choosing to stay nearby after having inspected the living quarters situation. Everyone took a different time to fuse with a spiritual stove. There were different degrees of fusions, producing different levels of affinity with the spiritual stove. It was especially the case for Elemental Fairies whose level of fusion was extremely deep, resulting in an even greater assistance of the Elemental Fairies. And the degree of fusion depended naturally mainly on the approval of the Elemental Fairy to its owner. As a matter of fact, contracts with these kinds of living spiritual stoves were of the master-servant type. If this kind of contract were to be forced, that Light Elemental Fairys power would be weakened. And of course, if the Elemental Fairy didnt cooperate with its owner, the progress speed of their fusion would be affected. Thus, no one knew how long Long Haochen would need to fuse with the Light Elemental Fairy. They could only bear it and wait patiently. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The sunlight fire igniting Long Haochens body didnt show any signs of vanishing. Gao Yingjie made the prompt decision to temporarily suspend the participation of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad in any mission, having them stay at their own living quarters. No one had any objections about this matter. The first priority of the team was to let Long Haochen fuse with his Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. This was even more important than the first ce in the team contest. On the seventh day, Sima Xian seeded in breaking through, reaching the fifth step. But when they reached the tenth day, everyone started to feel impatience. They didnt only started worrying about the ranking for the team contest, but also about Long Haochens safety. Gao Yingjie told them that generally, fusions with spiritual stoves that are not ranked in the top ten would notst more than seven days. But it had already been ten days, and Long Haochens body was stillpletely covered by the sunlight fire. Leader, please protect Haochen. I have something to do. Caier requested of Gao Yingjie. Gao Yingjie looked distracted, Do you have to go out? Mn. Go then. Do you want someone to apany you? After all, Caier was blind. Caier shook her head, I am okay on my own. As she said so, she pushed the door open with her blue cane in hand. Compared to the others, she had an even better understanding of Long Haochens situation. If Long Haochen was truly in danger, Haoyue would definitely not be sleeping so steadily on the side. Thinking about this detail, although the others still felt a bit worried about Long Haochens situation, they bore it patiently and chose to wait. Caier walked slowly, but didnt take the wrong way, directly heading down, before being stopped by a soldier. I am Caier from the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, and demand to meet Commander Lan Yanyu. Caiers voice was cold, but her frail figure and expressionless eyes made her appear lonely and deste. Blocking her path, a soldier raised his brows, Sorry, but its not like anyone can conveniently go meet Commander Lan. The recent demon offensives had weakened to some extent, and although the war was still going on, the atmosphere in Exorcist Mountain Pass was already not as tense as in the past. But since the military chief Sheng Lingxin was currently unable tomand the armies, Lan Yanyu, already acting as the leader of the mage regiment, naturally had an even greater responsibility. Then Ill go to her on my own. Caiers bamboo cane tapped the ground. After slightly lifting her head, a concentrated killing intent immediately emerged from her. Before her, the soldier felt his whole body trembling, and took a few steps back out of fear of falling to the ground otherwise. But Caiers killing intent wasnt directed at him, and ascended to the sky, skyrocketing like a grey cloud of smoke. Releasing such murderous spirit without restraint in the scope of the area below Exorcist City was not something anyone dared to do. More importantly, Caiers killing intent was directlying from the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, surpassing any ordinary assassin in purity and sharpness. After a short time, the officers reacted and a few ck-d silhouettes rushed out, arriving in front of Caier. Miss? A few ck-d men advanced from behind Caier. Their expression changed greatly, and they saluted Caier respectfully. Take me to see Commander Lan Yanyu. Caiers voice remained as cold as before. Exorcist Mountain Pass was considered to be the Assassin Town, location of the Assassin Temple. Maybemon soldiers didnt know her, but those assassins surely did. Caier, how how is it that you came? Seeing the young girl, the exhausted Lan Yanyu immediately became nicely surprised. But seeing Caiers frail body, she couldnt help but feel some pain for her. How are things for him? Caier asked indifferently. Are you asking about your father? Lan Yanyu looked nk, feeling great exultation in her heart. Caier didnt say anything, and didnt nod, but simply stood there calmly. Lan Yanyu made haste to reply, He is already awake. Only, you also know about the aftereffects of the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood, he is now Its okay since hes not in danger. Caier turned around, her cane tapping on the ground as she walked in the other direction. The Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood had another secret, it was that when fully used, it had a probability of 1 chance out of 1000 to turn the user into an idiot uponing back to his senses. Caier. Lan Yanyu called out to her, her voice filled with worry. Caier stopped her steps, her back still turned towards her mother, Is there anything else? You Wont youe with me to see your father? Caier stood there calmly, and after taking ten silent breathes, she lightly nodded her head, Okay. Almost immediately, tears dropped from Lan Yanyus beautiful eyes. It had been eleven years, since their three years-old daughter was taken from them, and spent two years in aa. Ever since then, she had just been training, cutting all ties with them, just as if they became strangers. _And this this is the first time! Despite the fact that she was as cold as before, she still agreed to see Lingxin. This is proof that we still exist in her heart._ Good Good. Let me apany you. At this moment, the demon offensive had just been repelled, and the city walls of Exorcist City were temporarily tranquill. Lan Yanyu felt eager, and even tried to take advantage of the situation by reaching for her daughters hand. But Caiers did a soft dodging motion, increasing the distance between the two of them. I know the way. Having grown up in this town, she was very familiar with the ce. Lan Yanyu didnt insist, wiping the tears from her face, and blindly followed Caier. By her side, she watched her somewhat slow-moving daughter who walked forward quite unsteadily, and her tears couldnt help but fall down once again. She was still just a child! But she inherited such a burden, suffered far too much pain. And she was so thin! Lan Yanyu really wanted to pamper her daughter, holding her in her arms. But she knew that Caier wouldnt let herself be hugged. Mother and daughter walked for almost half an hour before arriving at their house. This courtyard belonged to the Assassin Temple, but ordinarily, Sheng Lingxin rarely returned to their residence. The absolute majority of the time, he would stay in his office, but after using the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood, his current situation had to be kept secret. No one was allowed to find out, so he had naturally been sent back to rest here, at the ce where Caier grew up. The blue cane tapped on the ground in session, producing repeated du, du, du sounds. Each of this sounds cut right into Lan Yanyus heart. Without need for Lan Yanyu to say anything, Caier could imagine where Sheng Lingxin was. After passing through the courtyard and entering the back garden, just as she was walking forward unhurriedly, a sound interrupted her footsteps. Oh, elder sister, you came back. Who is this big sister? These childish words were spoken by an ordinary grownup voice, which was enough to give anyone an iparably strange sensation. Caier slowly turned around. She was blind, but she sensed that the speaker of these words was in front of the door. Silently, she looked at him. It has been seven days since your father lost consciousness. He is going to recover a year of memories every day. Now, he recovered his memories up to his five or six years-old self. If he knew that you agreed toe back and see him, he would definitely be in great joy. Lan Yanyu said, somewhat choked with emotions. Caier silently walked over to Sheng Lingxin, and suddenly felt at a loss,pletely unsure of what she should say to her father with only the memories of a five years-old child. Big sister, can you apany me to y together? Sheng Lingxin stood up, gripping Caiers hand and swaying it. Caier looked nk, but she didnt struggle free from his hand. Deep in her heart, some soft emotions seemed to have been stirred up. Chapter 205 - Flawless Fusion, Second Evolution (I)

Chapter 205: wless Fusion, Second Evolution (I)

She still remembered that during the few days before Long Haochen absorbed the Elemental Fairy, he told her everyday about duty. That everyone had different duties, and their own heavy burdens to shoulder. The only difference was that these burdens were more or less visible depending on the person. Older sister, how is it that youre not saying anything? Is it because you are wearing a veil on your face? In a five years-old state, Sheng Lingxin kept questioning her, full of curiosity. He asked her several questions in a row, but Caier didnt show any reaction. Sheng Lingxin clearly felt that she was kind of uninterested, and hurried to run to Lan Yanyus side, Elder sister, this big sister doesnt speak at all. Can you y with me? Holding her husbands broad hand, Lan Yanyu couldnt help but fall in his arms and cry loudly. Such a heroic husband having unexpectedly been reduced to this state by the aftereffects of the spiritual stove, how could she possibly feel all right!? Take good care of him, I am leaving first. Tapping the blue cane to the ground, Caier shot out like a bullet. As she used her greatest speed to leave this ce, she suddenly discovered that the hate she felt for her parents seemed to have weakened greatly. Leaving the courtyard and taking the route to return to the living quarters, Caier discovered for some reason that the oppressive feelings she had deep inside also seemed to have lessened greatly, to the extent that she felt a bit more worriless and rxed. Except from the time she was together with Long Haochen, this was the first time this kind of emotion appeared in her ever since she became the Saint Daughter of Samsara. At that time, she couldnt help but remember Long Haochens words: forgiveness is about forgiving other people, but also about forgiving yourself. At the time Caier returned to the living quarters, she wasnt aware that the expression in her eyes was gentler. However, no one in the living quarters paid attention to Caiers changes. She herself was surprised upon returning, because she felt to her astonishment that the light essence in the living quarters had just be even denser. Its level of purity astounded her greatly. At that time, everyone in the living quarters had their eyes stuck to the sunlight fire released from Long Haochens body. Andpared to before Caier left, the great difference was that the sunlight fire on Long Haochens body had now surprisingly taken shape, unexpectedly condensing into mes that gave off a faintly visible appearance of angel. What happened? Caier asked Gao Yingjie with some nervosity. Gao Yingjie replied with a rough voice, If I havent guessed wrongly, the Light Elemental Fairy that fused with Haochen should be undergoing a process of evolution. He was right, the Light Elemental Fairy was indeed evolving. At the time the Light Elemental Fairy fused with Long Haochen, she felt Long Haochens physique as Scion of Light and released all her physical and mental capabilities, nning to fusepletely into Long Haochens body. Although she was frightened for a brief moment by Haoyue, this couldnt affect the Light Elemental Fairys feelings of acknowledgement for Long Haochen. Just like a light unicorn had by nature kindhearted traits, a Scion of Light was bound to have an easy-to-get-close-to nature, and a heart of gold. This made the Light Elemental Fairy throw away all her worries. Although this Light Elemental Fairy was in a quite weak state, her wounds healed at fast speed and her body was restored in the process of fusion with Long Haochen. Her purity was only second to the purity in Long Haochens body, and at the same time the two entities fused perfectly, another change appeared in the Saint Spiritual Stove. The fusion between the Scion of Light and a Light Elemental Fairy was naturally a perfect fusion between two pure existences. It could be said that no one had a body as fitting for fusing with the Light Elemental Fairy as him. But Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove also underwent another evolution, exploiting perfectly the previous situation, pure sunlight fire emanating from within it. It was the sunlight fire continuously released outside. The addition of the Light Elemental Fairy could be said to have perfectly developed Long Haochens physique as Scion of Light, his affinity of light shooting up incredibly. Further adding the assistance of the Light Elemental Fairy, the condensed spiritual energy was just too massive. It changed not only Long Haochens body, but also transformed the Light Elemental Fairy itself. Having undergone a process of magnification for a few days, the finally fused Light Elemental Fairy had her first evolution. Any Elemental Fairy could at least evolve three times. Each evolution would increase their ability greatly. As for whether they would be able to keep evolving after the third time, it depended to their own luck. Without a doubt, everyone in the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad only felt excited to see the Light Elemental Fairy evolve after the process of fusion. In particr, to Sima Xian and Han Yu, an even richer light essence meant that their cultivation speed would elerate even more greatly. Everyone gained some benefits: bathed in the aura of light, their bodies and the attributes of their spiritual energy would gain some improvements, with only positive effects. But no one expected Long Haochens evolution to take this long. When they reached the 24th day, changes appeared on the gold-red sunlight fire covering his body, unexpectedly changing into a resplendent-gold-colored holy fire. In fact, holy fire was a powerful ability only knights of the seventh step possessed. And furthermore, this holy fire ignited in Long Haochen was just too massive. At this very moment, the light essence had taken the distinct shape of a fairy, a magnificent erged fairy of me, floating at his back. This implied that Long Haochens Light Elemental Fairy started her second evolution This was the Scion of Light, the formidable Scion of Light! And this holy fire persisted until the 49th day Seated cross-legged, Long Haochen suddenly showed signs of opening his eyes. He opened his mouth, and suddenly, the holy fire surrounding him was inhaled into his body, consequently weakening the light aura in the living quarters. The abrupt change immediately awoke everyone from their state of cultivation, their eyes staring at the same time at Long Haochen. Along with the continuous weakening of the holy fire, Long Haochens body gradually became visible. At this very moment, with a bright spark of light from his chest, a one third of a meter long golden radiance appeared in front of him, and with a sharp and clear incantation, the bright light covered Long Haochens body, forming a golden armor, solving the awkward situation of Long Haochens burned clothes. And from his chest, the perfectly fused Light Elemental Fairy appeared. Only, she had currently bepletely different from before. First, there was a change in her appearance. The Light Elemental Fairy originally let out a white radiance, but it now turned golden and was full of sacred aura. Her body also grew to approximately twice its former size, looking now almost real. And in between her eyebrows, a brilliant gem had appeared, making her even more valiant. At her back, her two transparent wings had currently evolved into two pairs, making her flying silhouette looking even more stable. But the greatest change could be seen in her limpid golden eyes. In them, all traces of gloom and weakness hadpletely disappeared. Her pupils were shining brilliantly, giving off a noble and sacred feel, without looking arrogant, but instead gentle, as if golden ripples were overflowing from therein. Lightlynding on Long Haochens shoulder, and speaking a few words in fairynguage before touching Long Haochens cheek, she currently looked extremely satisfied. The holy fire gradually receded, letting the entirely golden armor condensed from Long Haochens light essence look even more dazzling. All filth could only disappear next to the holy sacred fire. And thus, despite the fact that 49 days had passed, his body was as clean and sweet as before. I have made everyone wait quite long. The bright light in Long Haochens eyes diminished slowly, returning them to their limpid appearance. Standing up, his eyes looked extremely apologetic. Sima Xianughed heartily, It wasnt long, it wasnt long at all. If not for the support of your fusion, I dont know how long I would have taken to break through to the fifth step. It could be said that aside from himself, the ones who benefitted the most of this evolution were Sima Xian and Han Yu. In particr, Sima Xian had broken through the bottleneck of the fifth step and finally obtained liquid internal spiritual energy. Gao Yingjie dered to him, with a smile, You are finally awake! Nheless, youre giving me too many good surprises! The Light Elemental Fairy unexpectedly evolved twice. Let alone having seen this, I have never even heard about this kind of thing happening before. It looks like the rtion between the two of you is not an ordinary one. With a lift of his hand, the mentally connected Light Elemental Fairy flew to his palm. Eyeing the beautiful fairy of light, Long Haochen smiled, She told me that her name is Yating. Congrattion for having obtained your second spiritual stove, Master. Han Yu said to Long Haochen with a smile. Chen Yinger frowned with concern, A?, but I didnt break through! Why is it that I dont have light attribute? Wang Yuanyuan replied in disdain, You summoners are existences close to the non-elemental type. Since you can summon creatures of so many different kinds, what kind of element would you want? Having been influenced by Long Haochens holy aura, Chen Yinger still made quite fast progress. A few dozen days ago, she already reached the bottleneck of the fifth step. Unfortunately, she just hadnt Sima Xians luck. These dozen days, she had been unsessful in breaking through to the fifth step. Having been unable from beginning to end to make her internal spiritual energy liquid, she was now the only one who was still at the fourth step in the team. How could she not feel hurried? With a tired face, Lin Xin sat on his bed, Captain, it would be so great if you could really use holy fire. Then, my fabrication of pills would be a lot easier. A?, Im just tired to death,tely. Thats just the way it was, during these days, the most tired among them was him. Lin Xin didnt devote himself single-mindedly to cultivation, but also to concocting pills and doing business. Every one or two days, he would go out to the city, doing who knows what. Chapter 206 - Flawless Fusion, Second Evolution (II)

Chapter 206: wless Fusion, Second Evolution (II)

Long Haochen smiled, Thanks for your trouble, it looks like you made quite a lot of pills. Lin Xin patted his chest and dered, All of you are consuming pills as if they are candies, I couldnt possibly stop concocting them. Although Gao Yingjie could also use the holy sacred fire, he would definitely not intervene to help them. Only by relying on themselves would these youths progress more efficiently. At that moment, he said to Long Haochen, You are finally awake. Although you missed forty days of thepetition, it looks like you made considerable progress over this period. I suggest you take note of yourrades progress while I go and see if theres a need for you to take care of a mission. Over the course of these days, the other Demon Hunt Squads havent been staying idle. From my estimate, in regard to the amount of contribution points, you dont hold the upper hand any longer. Yes. Long Haochen replied, sending off Gao Yingjie from the living quarters together with the others. As the time they spent together increased, they felt even more admiration for this leader. During the time Long Haochen fused with the Light Elemental Stove Yating, Gao Yingjie had paid close attention to them. Caier always stood behind Long Haochen, and when Long Haochen turned his head to see Gao Yingjie off, he noticed to his astonishment that Caier seemed to be quite different. Her coldness receded quite a bit and the look in her eyes have softened. In the past days, Caier went out a total of three times. The second time she met Sheng Lingxin, he had recovered ten years of his memories. And the third time, Sheng Lingxin just happened to have recovered the memories of the time when Caier was three years old. When Caier saw Sheng Lingxin, who had recovered a little more than twenty years of his memories, he was unexpectedly crouched down and was crying bitterly, even losing his voice from it. But from his mouth she was only able to hear a single word, and that was her name. After that day, Caier didnt go out again, and her mood grew unstable for a few days, but after that, her facial expression full of rejection gradually lightened. Seeing this change on Caier, Long Haochen could only be pleasantly surprised, but now was clearly not the time to ask her about it. Having returned to the living quarters, Long Haochen took the internal spiritual energy measuring device, and asked with a smile, It looks like we will have to be tested once again. Who shall go first? Sima Xian replied with augh, You should naturally go first, Captain. After you fused with the Light Elemental Fairy, your spiritual energy should have improved greatly. I heard that fusions with spiritual stoves like Elemental Fairies would increase the owners internal spiritual energy directly. And the fact that your fairy evolved twice in a row should definitely have had great effects on your growth. Sima Xian was right, Long Haochen clearly felt the enormous changes in his internal spiritual energy. Around the Saint Spiritual Stove, a golden ring had already formed. At the same time, the liquid spiritual energy increased in thickness, its volume naturally multiplied by a decent amount. Long Haochen knew clearly that the fact his liquid spiritual energy became viscous implied that his internal spiritual energy had increased. When using it, his consumption of spiritual energy would be reduced while his power would also increase greatly. As for how high his cultivation level had reached, he was also quite curious. Not declining the suggestion, he gripped the internal spiritual energy testing gem and slowly inserted his energy. After a short time, except for the unwavering Caier, everyone appearedpletely dull. Lin Xin swallowed a big gulp of his own saliva, Three Three thousand Sima Xian murmured, Its 3,162, the sixth rank of the fifth step. Captain, you are already a sixth ranked Earth Knight! Let alone the others, Long Haochen was also astonished. He honestly didnt expect that, with his fusion with Yating, he would actually directly gain more than a thousand units of spiritual energy. With such a boost, his cultivation level became the highest among all of his team members. Just like Sima Xian said, Long Haochens improvements were massive. But this was closely rted to his special physique as the Scion of Light. His fusion with Yating produced three enormous bursts of pure light essence. Over the course of forty days of the fusion, Long Haochens body as the Scion of Light had beenpletely aroused. And he didnt know that every time Yating evolved, his own innate internal energy would increase by a level. Thus, Long Haochens innate internal spiritual energy had reached 99, which was only second to Caiers score of 100. Although there was no important change between the first and the sixth rank, only an increase of the output of spiritual energy, Long Haochen was now another step closer to the sixth step. The gap between each step being iparably wide, as the captain of the 1st squad, his continuous progress was at the same time the progress of the whole teams fighting strength. When the squad had just been formed, everyone felt deep inside somewhat awkward calling Long Haochen Captain. After all, aside from Caier, he was the youngest of the team. But as time passed, Long Haochen used his own strength and his performance on the battlefield to conquer everyone. By now, they were since long ago used to call him captain automatically. Long Haochen took a deep breath, keeping his happy feeling under control, and said with a smile, Please test yourselves as well, everyone. Everyone tested their own internal spiritual energy and as Gao Yingjie anticipated it,pared to the previous time, the progress they made was not small. Chen Yingers internal energy already reached the bottleneck of the 2000th level, and all that was left was for her to enter the fifth step. Sima Xians progress was the most obvious among everyone. Thest time, his internal spiritual energy was 1920, but by now, it reached the count of 2100. This wasnt only a numerical change, but an essential one. After he broke through the bottleneck of the fifth step, his internal spiritual increased by a hundred more units. From this could be seen how intense the light essence Long Haochen and Yating released at that time was. Han Yus progress was not small either, from the 2271th level, he reached the 2390th, and in less than two months, his internal spiritual energy increased by 120 levels, making everyone full of envy. Compared to them, the progress of the others was considerable smaller. Wang Yuanyuan progressed from 2160 to 2210, Lin Xins internal spiritual energy only increased by 20, reaching 2405. As for Caier, her progress was not small. As the Saint Daughter of Samsara, her innate internal spiritual energy being 100, her cultivation speed was by nature notparable to anyone else. After two months time, her internal spiritual energy increased by 180, making it reach 2770, only second to Long Haochens 3162. So far, Long Haochens cultivation speed was already the best of the team. Although this times increase was directly linked to his luck, his status within the team rose once again. More importantly, after possessing the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, his future progress speed would increase to some extent. Having entered the sixth rank of the fifth step, Long Haochens understanding about the internal spiritual energy was even greater. Haoyue had been in deep sleep all along, but his body grew considerably. Having been lying dormant almost constantly since their return from the mission, Haoyue was now more than five meters tall, an obvious changepared to his previous size of a little more than four meters. This was not a mere change in size, but his body became even more robust. The two bumps on the sides of his three heads, as well as the buckle on his back appeared already more pronounced. Long Haochen already sobered from havingpleted the fusion with the spiritual stove, but Haoyue was as before in deep sleep. Clearly, he hadnt digested the swallowed magical crystals yet. Should be my turn. Let me show you my drugs. Lin Xin touched a pile of bottles, and although his face looked as exhausted as before, an excited glow appeared in his eyes. Wah, so many. Has-drugs-big-bro truly deserves his name. Sima Xian teased him. Lin Xin thumped his own chest, dering, It is big bro has drugs. Let me distribute them to you. The effects of the Bursting Spiritual Pills being pretty good, I made some more. Three of them for each of you, to be prepared in case of need. The previous batch of pills he made was already quite used up. Although the side effects of the Spiritual Bursting Pills were strong, when used in the crucial moment, the sudden burst it could produce left everyone satisfied enough. You have no more use for Spiritual Gathering Pills, so the next batch I made was sold off. The sales were even greater than I expected, the demand even exceeding the offer. Had I known about it in advance, I would have sold some more in the past. This time, we had sufficient material, so I made a batch of Great Restoration PIlls. Nheless, these things production cost is quite high, so everyone will only have three of them. Each of them will restore 500 units of internal spiritual within 20 second. Although Lin Xin deemphasized it, when everyone heard this description, they immediately couldnt help but take a sudden breath. Recovering 500 units of internal spiritual energy, what kind of concept was this? Three pills per person was already enough to increase their fighting strength to new heights. And thest type is one I used the Bloodthirsty Betas flesh to make. Speaking of it, I feel quite happy about them. I seeded after less than twenty tries, and after trying out one, the results were really quite good. Named Bloodthirsty Pills, they will increase your external spiritual energy by 500 after use, and make you enter a Bloodthirsty state, quite simr to the bald mans Madness. It will increase your physical power substantially, as well as the degree of connection between your body and your internal spiritual energy. This thing is the most suitable for closebat fighters. From my estimate, after taking it, a warrior will gain more than 20% more offensive power, for a duration of ten minutes. And the key point is that this thing has no side effects. Of course, as our power increases, the utility of these things will reduce. After we break through to the sixth step, they will not be of much utility. But in the present time, it is quite useful. Bloodthirsty Betas indeed deserve to be known as demons of the seventh step. Same with it, three pills per person. We still have some of the Bloodthirsty Betas flesh, that I will mainly use to make pills of this kind as well as Great Restoration Pills. Oh, thats right, the Bloodthirsty Pills and the Spiritual Bursting Pills can be taken at the same time; their effects can add up. Hehe. Aside from Chen Yinger and himself, everyone received some. As everyone received the pills Lin Xin made. Her look bing passionate upon looking at him, Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but dere, Lin Xin, you are really a genius! Chapter 207 - Flawless Fusion, Second Evolution (III)

Chapter 207: wless Fusion, Second Evolution (III)

As Lin Xin pushed his own dark green hair back, he dered, Thats a matter of fact. And I have recently been doing research for pills that can provide cultivation support at the sixth step. But, its quite difficult, I need to do more experiments. The mainponents areing from those eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers, so we have quite a lot of them. I hope the trials will be sessful. As time passed, Lin Xins utility as an alchemist increased unceasingly. Yinger, this is for you. Lin Xin threw a little cloth bag to Chen Yinger. Chen Yinger caught it, showing a puzzled reaction, What is it? Are there pills inside? Lin Xin shook his head, replying, Foolish girl, these are magical crystals. If your pig doesnt have them, how will he have fighting strength? I purchased them at the auction house. One at the sixth step, and the dozen of others areing from magical beasts at the fifth step. Conserve them well, these things were just so expensive. Half of the money I made was used for these, and the rest to purchase material. Wah, thank you, big brother Lin.Chen Yinger blinked her limpid eyes at Lin Xin, looking at him with soft eyes. Thats enough! I did so for our team. Younger sister, although you are pretty, for the safety of my life, please dont look at me with this kind of eyes. I dont want this Yang Wenzhao to aim at my life. Chen Yinger took the magical crystals with great delight, and reacted with a snort, Whats up with this Yang Wenzhao, would he dare try to control me? I dont like him, I rather like Sis Yuanyuan. Im already having perfectpatibility with Sis Yuanyuan, who cares about him. Pf, Huhu Sima Xian coughed violently a few times, shooting Wang Yuanyuan a nce, What perfectpatibility, with another girl? That would just be a waste of resources! Wang Yuanyuans expression remained the same, Whats good with you. Humpf; Sima Xian nced at Lin Xin with a mean smile, saying, Tell me, if I were to sell our information about what Yinger just told you to Yang Wenzhao, how many contribution points would I get for it? Chen Yinger leisurely reacted, pleasantly saying, Exchange it for the amount you want, but in any case, I want half of it. Long Haochen epted the pills with a smile. Their 1st squad had already been established quite some time ago. Along with the deepening of everyones rtions with each other, everyone already blended their own characters into the group. And their strength as a whole increased without obstruction. Haochen! Quickly follow me to the city walls, everyone. Just at the time everyone was chatting, Gao Yingjies pressed voice sounded from outside. Having seen Gao Yingjies serious expression, everyone followed hurriedly. They didnt think much of it, simply assuming that it would be at most the start of a new operation. Follow me. Long Haochen didnt dare ck off,manding hispanions to follow him rapidly. He didnt know what happened, but it was definitely not good news. Caiers sense of smell had already recovered, so she naturally followed Long Haochen out of the living quarters. The group of seven was led to the city walls under Gao Yingjiesmand. But when they arrived at the city walls, Long Haochen discovered that the whole Exorcist Citys walls were astonishingly calm. The other nine Demon Hunt Squads had already arrived at the city walls and were in charge of the defense of a hundred meters broad area. Seeing the arrival of Long Haochens group, they naturally let them handle the defense of an area of a dozen meters. Long Haochen looked at them closely and discovered to his astonishment that some changes appeared on the Demon Hunters of the other nine Demon Hunt Squads. Having gone through a lot of hardships, they looked a lot more steady, and less scatterbrained than before. Clearly, over the course of these fifty days, they all had made important progress. In terms of experience, they already surpassed the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. Gao Yingjie stood at Long Haochens side, pointing ahead, and told them in a deep voice, Look. Looking at the situation outside the walls, Long Haochen who previously looked rxed immediately became shocked. It wasnt only the Exorcist Mountain Pass that was calm, but the outside was also extremely calm. But it wasnt because the demons main forces were withdrawing, rather the opposite: the demons main forces were actually arranged neatly at the entrance of Exorcist Mountain Pass. In silence, an enormous somber and deste mass was advancing continuously, charging forward in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Today, the demons were against all expectations well organized. Right in the front, Dual ded Demons formed a dozens of square-shaped formations, and from the looks of it, their numbers exceeded at least 5,000. Behind these Dual ded Demons were ten groups of five hundred Demonic Eye Soldiers. Then, at their back were Luke Stealthy Demons. And as the formation progressed in depth, stronger demon tribes were present. Far in the back, Long Haochen faintly saw a dozen of colossus standing in silence. Even with such distance from the Exorcist Mountain Pass, theserge demon silhouettes could vaguely be seen, their height actually surpassing fifty meters. The demon gathering wasnt only limited to the ground, but at the same time they were in the sky. The aerial gathering of a great amount of demon air force formed a ck cloud covering the sky and shadowing the earth. But they were as calm as their peers. Magic Birds, Demonic Eagles, Dual Headed Demonic Eagles, Beta Flying Demons as well as many other kinds of flying demons were organized and separated by races. It seemed as if they were ready to attack at any time, once they received themand. Right in the middle of the demon air force were ten silhouettes with a height above thirty meters. In a crazy way, they were ck gigantic dragons. Seeing such a scene, Long Haochens group couldnt help but take a deep breath. What were these demons nning? Why did the whole bunche out for? More importantly, there were a lot of powerful demons who had never appeared on the battlefield before. In other words, this was the real main force of the demons. The tense atmosphere encircled the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Despite the fact that this mountain pass defensested for thousand years, the demon main armies battle formation this time was unprecedentedly powerful. In case they initiated the assault, a bloody battle was fated to happen. Everyone clenched their hands together around their weapons, silently waiting for them to approach. Long Haochens group didnt dare to ck off, and arranged themselves in a proper defensive formation. In thisrge battlefield, their individual strength seemed negligible, but anyhow, they would do the best they could to kill many demons. This wasnt a question of contribution points, or at least not anymore. Defending the Exorcist Mountain was extremely important, involving the entire humanity. The atmosphere wasnt only tense on the city walls, but even in the high city gate tower. Sheng Lingxin already recovered all his memories, calmly gazing at the scene from above. At his side were all the high-ranking military officers. All of them wore serious expressions: this time the opposing demon army was unprecedentedly formidable, they were obviously not onlying to acquire food for their poption. Sheng Lingxin revealed some doubt in his eyes, Have the demon forces gone crazy? How could they gather so many army forces. Even the Demon God Emperors personal soldiers, the ck Dragons, appeared. Have they made their preparations to go all out and destroy us at any cost? At this very moment, an aged voice sounded at Sheng Lingxins back, There can only be two reasons why the demon forces did so. The first possibility is as you guessed, that the demons n to go all out to break through our Exorcist Mountain Pass. If things are so, just let theme. Since our Exorcist Mountain Pass couldst for thousand years, protected by our Assassin Temple, I dont dare say that we will surely stop the demons all-out offense but they will be bound to pay an extremely disastrous price. Sheng Yue stepped forward unhurriedly,ing to Sheng Lingxins side. Seeing his appearance, the nervous high-ranking officers expression distinctly loosened. Having a powerhouse of the ninth step keeping watch over the city gave them, as well as the soldiers, a great boost to their self-confidence. Sheng Lingxin didnt make his salutations to his great-grandfather: he was now the highest ranking officer in the city, and would do everything to shoulder his duty. What about the second possibility? Lingxin asked. Sheng Yue replied, As for the second possibility, it is that the demons higher-ups came. Every time they had important matters to discuss with us in the past, they would assume this kind of formation to terrify us with their military power, and increase the probability of sess of their negotiations. Hearing his grandfathers words, Sheng Lingxin immediately had a sh of understanding, Since this is the case, there should be higher odds for the second possibility. ording to all the intelligence we gathered, the demons didnt show any signs of doingrge scale operations. If they really went all out tounch an all-out war, then the pressure would surely note only to our Exorcist Mountain Pass. Sheng Yue nodded his head in praise, Thats right, since this is the case, we just dont know for now what these demons are aiming for. Having brought innumerable forces tounch a surprise attack, let them bring it on. I just wonder who came this time. From my estimate, it is at least a demon god ranked within their top ten. Otherwise, they wouldnt be able to arrange such a formation. Sheng Lingxin suddenly remarked, Heroic Senior, about the Assassin Temple over there Sheng Yue nodded his head to him, giving a reply, Rest at ease, we already made preparations. If they really came for an all-out attack, my Assassin Temple will not end up decimated. Sheng Lingxin loosened his breath, Now, all thats left to do is to wait. At the time his grandson spoke, suddenly, far in the rear of the battle formations, three massive light pirs rocketed to the sky, bringing strong radiances and spiritual energy eruptions. Even if they were quite distant from the city, everyone in it could still see it. The brilliances of the demon gods pirs. Hou, hou, hou. In the instant, those three demon god pirs radianes erupted, the formerly silent demon troops immediately bellowed out. That was a great army of a hundred thousand! With these simultaneous roars, in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the earth shook and the ground trembled. Even a hundred generals would only be able to change expressions in front of such a massive force. But their difference to ordinary people was that thetter would fall weakly to the ground while the first fought. These soldiers who went through hundreds of battles just held their weapons tightly, their blood boiling in front of such ferocious enemies. Those three demon gods were precisely the zing Demonic Lion Allocer, the Demonic Winged Mad Bull Zagan, as well as the seventieth demon god, the Evil Demon Rider Seere. Previously, these three demon gods came in an attempt to handle the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment, so Long Haochen naturally recognized them in a nce. They indeed deserved to be called demon gods! Their aura was unexpectedly able to cause a hundred thousands to be in such a state of excitement. This was Long Haochens way of thinking. But in the citys tower, the face of the Heroic Assassin Sheng Yue changed. Not good Dont tell me Dont tell me that he came Chapter 208 - Demon God Emperor (I)

Chapter 208: Demon God Emperor (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the same time great changes appeared on Sheng Yues face, behind those three shining demon god pirs, a dark golden brilliance was immediately lit brightly. This dark golden brilliance was just too massive, forming a thick light extending over a diameter of more than five kilometers. The instant it appeared, the bright sky became dark, the sun disappearing without traces as if shot down. The hundred thousand roaring demons felt as if their neck was suddenly cut off, and no sound was left. This scene of noise transforming instantly into silence appeared extremely bizarre. Although the demon soldiers didnt yell any longer, their eyes were filled with an identical blood color. From the smallest Dual ded Demons to the biggest ck Dragons, all of them without exception emitted an extremely frightening aura. Along with the ascending of that bright pir, they entered a sort of Bloodthirsty state. In front of that enormous dark golden pir, the group of three gods led by the zing Lion Allocer seemed like an unremarkable gust of wind. Those three kneeled respectfully, facing the enormous dark golden pir while disregarding the humans. _What What is that_ Too astonishing! This course of events was just too sudden and terrible. The most splendid scenes Long Haochen ever saw were the ones of his father as well as the chief the Alliance Yang Haohan releasing their divine thrones. Butpared to the terrible dark golden pir of light, they were just far too inferior. That dark golden pir of light quickly covered the whole sky, turning everything around it into darkness. Only the dark golden radiance emitted forward still provided some brightness to this world, and thus, the changes on this dark golden pir looked all the more distinct. It was indeed too big. Even from a very far location, it could be seen distinctly. On the surface of the enormous and entirely dark golden-colored pir were countless strange symbols. Even more significantly, on the enormous pir of light, a gigantic dark golden dragon was creeping solemnly. No one could see exactly how enormous that massive dragons body was. The terrifying pressure it released even caused the sky to sink, twisting unstoppably. _What What kind of existence is that!?_ Suddenly, bolts after bolts of azure lightning surrounded the dark golden pir of light, glittering without interruption, and the massive dragon crawling on it started to move rhythmically. Even more spectacr was that the army of hundred thousands was immediately immersed into the twisted patterns, unexpectedly disappearing from their line of sight. No, more urately, they should have be invisible. The Heroic Assassin Sheng Yues face was alreadypletely pale. The fact that his aura alone could make the entire main demon forces invisible, and this enormous dark golden pir of light confirmed one thing. The thing they were the most unwilling to see. Its him Its really him! The first ranked of the seventy-two demon gods and Demon Emperor, the Devil Dragon Emperor Fengxiu. He went as far as toe here personally. As they heard Sheng Yues words, all the officers on the city gate tower became overwhelmed with shock. Sheng Lingxins entire body swayed, and although he gritted his teeth, trying to contain his emotions, his two forcefully clenched hands were trembling. The first demon god and Demon Emperor, the Demonic Dragon Emperor. This title would always belong to a single demon, the ruler of the seventy-two demon gods as well as the most powerful existence of the entire demon army. The main reason why, in Shengmo Dalu, humans were always in a vulnerable position was his existence. He was the one that couldnt be defeated, the unequalled representative of supremacy within the demons. That was Fengxiu. The one this graceful name belonged to was the Demon Emperor standing at the summit of the demons hierarchy. Reportedly, at the time the first Demon God Emperor who descended to Shengmo Dalu led the seventy-two demon gods, he originally didnt have this name. But after decimating the major part of the human poption, he gave himself a human name. And all the generations of Demon God Emperors continued to use it, until today. From the very first generation of Demon God Emperors till now, this was the sixth Demon God Emperor. In his capacity of supreme leader of the demons, he could live for more than a thousand years. In the human history, except from the time when the Scion of Samsara appeared, causing the Demon Emperors death, the other five Demon God Emperors, without exception, lived until dying of natural death, giving this position to someone of theirter generation. And even the Demon God Emperor who died from the heavy wounds caused by the Scion of Samsara died because he was excessively old and had already passed the pinnacle of his life. The three words Demon God Emperor were in Shengmo Dalu an unequalled symbol of oppression. He was the ruler of the demons, and emblem of all the demons. So long as he would exist, humans would never dare to think ofunching a counteroffensive. At the present time, this 6th Demon God Emperor was already aged and more than 700 years-old, entering the most powerful period of his life. Who would have expected him to appear today in front of the Exorcist Mountain Pass? It was no wonder that the demons woulde with such a massive army and that their formation would be so ordered. There was a single reason for this: their absolute emperor was leading them. Listen, humans of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Hand over all the creatures possessing three heads in your city, or else, not even an inch of grass will be left. A soft and pleasant voice, that could even be described as clear and melodious, as ifing from a chanting dragon, resounded. Exactly in the middle of this dark golden pir of light, a silhouette slowly emerged. He moved unhurriedly, at a regr pace. Each of his steps steady, as if he was walking on the ground. His humanlike silhouette didnt seem so tall, having a height of roughly 1.9 meter. The ck hair extending to his back formed a sort of coiled waterfall. His gorgeous long ck robe had faint purple glitter on it. His skin appeared extremely white, and his pair of blue eyes seemed filled with starlighting directly from the universe. Every step he took didnt produce any noise. All the surroundings werepletely silent, but everyone at the Exorcist Mountain Pass felt as if smashed by a meteorite falling from the sky. To ones surprise, no one could muster up any desire for battle. This pressure reached everyones innermost being. Confronting this Demon God Emperor, everyones fears were aroused from the depths of their hearts. It was just too powerful, to the point that no one could maintain his willpower. Even the powerhouse of the ninth step, Sheng Yue, was the same. At Long Haochens side, Caiers body was trembling violently, a faintly discernible killing intent unceasingly emanated from her body. Long Haochen was greatly rmed, immediately thinking of the reason for it. It was surely that the Demon God Emperors aura had stimted the Dagger of Samsara in her body. If the Demon God Emperor discovered the existence of the Dagger of Samsara, Caier would never be able to contend against him. Having this fear in his heart, at this time Long Haochen didnt hesitate. Pulling Caier into his embrace, and holding her tightly, he released his internal spiritual energy, trying to cover Caiers body with it aspletely as possible. But the strange thing was that the fear Long Haochen felt seemed to be a lot weaker than the fear other people experienced. Seeing the Demon God Emperor advance step by step, the fear in him was instead inferior to his curiosity. All of thepanions at his side could only do their utmost to stay conscious, as he still had the energy to hold Caier, helping her withstand the agitation of the Dagger of Samsara. Fengxius face was extremely handsome, having no w at all. But this handsomeness differedpletely from Long Haochens. The handsome face of this Demon God Emperor carried an iparable pride. Having an absolute demonic presence, his appearance was unquestionably awe-inspiring. The Exorcist Mountain Pass is graced with your esteemed presence, Demon God Emperor. This is truly an honor for our city. After Sheng Yue took a single step across the wall, he was unexpectedly already in midair. In spite of the fearpletely infesting his heart, he did so, because the only one capable of facing the Demon God Emperor in the entire Exorcist Mountain Pass was him. At the Demon God Emperors back, the terrible light pir reaching five kilometers in diameter glinted. The gigantic ck dragon sculpture on it was his figure seen from behind. You are the current chief of the Assassin Temple? Fengxius voice was as pleasant as before, without the slightest aggressivity. That is right, this elders name is Sheng Yue. At Sheng Yues back, an enormous grey dagger glistened, sharp aura bursting forth from it, stopping the aura released by the Demon God Emperor in their direction. But all the people sideways from him could see that the aura bursting forth from Sheng Yue only spread to an area of ten meters. This was how clear the gap between the Demon God Emperor and him was. You heard my dignified words. As for the matter of eliminating you humans, or not, I am not in a hurry. From my dignified point of view, you are nothing more but livestock I raise. Everything will be done as I said before: if I find the thing I am looking for, I will consider letting your Exorcist City off. Sheng Yues eyes were filled with an unsettled expression. He was fully aware of how wide the gap existing between the Demon God Emperor and himself was, but under such circumstances, could they reallye to apromise? At the city walls, at least dozens of looks were focused on Long Haochen. _Three headed creature? Could it be that he is speaking of Long Haochens mount? But its only a magical beast of the sixth step! How could it gain the attention of an existence such as the Demon God Emperor?_ The Demon God Emperor disyed a wicked smile, This dignified emperor will give you a time of ten seconds. If ten secondster, I dont have a reply, today will be thest day of your Exorcist Mountain Pass. Huuuu.. Suddenly Sheng Yue was drenched in sweat. He knew that if he fulfilled these terms, he would never be able stand straight in the Temple Alliance ever again. But if he didnt, the hundred thousands of military and civilians, as well as the foundation of the Assassin Temple would very possibly be wiped outpletely. It was a hard decision to make, and the imposing aura bursting forth from Sheng Yues body was fluctuating unstably as a reaction to his inner conflict. Nine Suddenly, a few light words resounded, His Majesty really has quite a lot of time for leisure. Only, if you want to destroy our Exorcist Mountain Pass, Im afraid even you should consider it thoroughly! This sudden voice sounded somewhat aged, but was quite rxed. In the next instant, six radiances suddenly burst forth and shot out violently from before the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Chapter 209 - Demon God Emperor (II)

Chapter 209: Demon God Emperor (II)

Among the six radiances, two were golden, one was purple, one was milky white and thest two were green and red. Their lights reflected each other in the skies, and although it was far from reaching the level of terror of the Demon God Emperors demon god pir, in the instant these six radiances soared through the skies, all the terrifying power covering the whole Exorcist City disappeared. Next to the city wall, everyone opened their mouths and gasped for air. At some point, under the Exorcist Mountain Pass maingate, six people appeared. Now, these six propelled to the sky, surrounded by their respective radiances and confronting the Demon God Emperor. Seeing them appear, the Demon God Emperor stopped in his counting game, his face appearing quite sinister. It looks like you, old guys, are still alive Do you really believe this emperor wont dare kill you? The Demon God Emperor dered coldly. In front of him, the aged voice kept speaking, Being the first powerhouse under heaven, His Majesty will naturally dare. Why would he not? Only, in terms of age, we are far inferior to His Majesty. The words old guys are ineptable. At that time, the six silhouettes had already ascended above the city walls, and the earth-shattering oppressive power was immediately blocked. A knight d in a dazzling orange armor was in the front. This knight had a tall and imposing stature, and including his head, his whole body was covered with an armor. In his left hand, he carried an orange-colored shield, and in his right hand was an enormous de reflecting the radiance of the sunlight. Nine lumps of light were lit across the enormous swords body, carrying the brilliance of nine little suns. The most astonishing was the mount under him. That was a real Red Dragon, surpassing fifty meters in size, its body surrounded by zing red light. And even more astonishingly, this Red Dragons aura merged with its orange armoredpanion perfectly. At the knights side was a warrior even exceeding him in grandeur. d in a blue-violet armor also covering his whole body, he was exceeding 2.2 meters in height, his both shoulders being extremely broad. Even if he was partly hidden by his armor, he could still make anyone feel that his strength was terrifying enough to tear heaven and earth. The weapon in his left hand was an unusual bloody red axe while the one in his right hand was an enormous blue-violet axe. If someone was to describe the impression this appearance gave him, the word intrepid would be the most suitable. On the other side of the knight was an erratic ck colored silhouette, whose shape could not be seen clearly at all. But it gave a specially sinister and sharp impression. The air surrounding his radiance was continuously being filled with ck cracks. These six were arranged in a double-rowed formationposed of three of them in the front and the other three in the rear. To ones surprise, the three people in the rear were all women, which could be recognized from the clothes they wore, though they were d in magical cloaks, making their appearance indistinct. The woman in the middle, d in a pure white gown, wore the design of a two-winged golden angel on the back of her gown. A Gown of Prodigeʤ߳, this saint robe was the symbol of the most supreme priests! The current Supreme Pontiff̻ was attired in this way, andpared to this woman, the Supreme Pontiff could only be said to have a royal crown in addition and nothing more. In her hands, this saint held an enormous scepter of more than three meters length. It looked just like the branch of a tree, but it really was a pure white, jade-like scepter. On it grew two mild golden colored fruits. On the left side of this saint was a woman d in a golden gown, emanating a golden splendor upon her surroundings. Rich ultimate light essence emerged and the radiance from her body illuminated the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass. But the strangest thing was that all the light her body released was not dazzling at all. In the Exorcist Mountain Pass filled with fear, a feeling of spring warmth was brought upon everyone. Her staff looked quite natural in her hand, it had the same golden color, with six fist-sized gems enwrought in its summit. Although she bore no outward sign of it, everyone could guess that she was a powerhouse of the divine ninth step. On the other side of the saint was another woman, d in a blue robe. At her back, a blue glitter was faintly discernible. And in the surroundings of her body, a golden door-sized gate was releasing a fantastic brilliance. A spiritual master, connected with countless nes. After reaching the ninth step, this was the most mysterious vocation within the Six Great Temples, and the most unpredictable kind of powerhouse. The ones that were rising to the sky, confronting the Demon God Emperor, were unexpectedly six powerhouses of the ninth step. The people in the Exorcist Mountain Pass that had previously been suppressed to the extent they couldnt even breath immediately had a good momentum. Sheng Yue hovered to their side, his eyes carrying a bewildered expression, You You are the Demon God yers So the rumors were true, you were actually still alive. The spiritual master d in a dazzling blue robe turned her head to give Sheng Yue a nce, asking with a smile, Young man, if we really died, how could the Demon God Emperor possibly stay so silent? The Demon God Emperor snorted coldly, Do you have the determination to confront this emperor today? The knights aged voice sounded once again, as he replied unenthusiastically, We naturally dont wish for it. After all, we dont have the certainty that we will be able to kill Your Majesty, but Your Majesty should also be clear about the fact we have at least a 20% chance to take Your Majesty out with us, and a 30% chance to inflict you serious damage. If Your Majesty has the resolve to wipe our Exorcist Mountain out, we humans wont hesitate to unleash the thousand years of power we saved, letting a holy war against demons unfold. And you, demons, wont necessarily be the final victors of it. 20% certainty to take the Demon God Emperor down by themselves? This number sounded simply excessively weak. But hearing it, the officers and soldiers of the Exorcist Mountain Pass were shaken excessively. What kind of existence was the Demon God Emperor? That was their undefeatable enemy, but the six human powerhouses before their eyes actually had odds to take him down by themselves. They could only be incredibly strong! To everyones surprise, the Demon God Emperor stood silent, disying a pondering mind. From this little detail, it could be seen that the Demon God Emperor had some fear to battle these six people. Despite the fact that a certainty of 20% was not very high, in case he died suddenly, the blow inflicted to the demon side would be iparable. Over the past thousand years, the humans Six Great Temples development was fast, and demons already had some difficulty to contend against the humans in the course of the great war. Most of all, humans possessed a great amount of magic weapons that possessed a great killing power against demons. Although humans were still unable to contend against demons on equal footing, in case the humans decided to go all out, disregarding everything else, the demon side wouldnt necessarily hold such a big advantage. Furthermore, demons were very dependent on a single power, and in case the Demon God Emperor, who held it, died, until the arrival of the next generations Demon God Emperor, the demon side would bepletely unable to coordinate. These circumstances left the Demon God Emperor no choice but to consider the matter. Even if his opponents only had odds of 10%, he would not take such risks rashly. Well, we can atst be considered long date acquaintances. This emperor is willing to give you some face, and will use divine powers to scour the Exorcist Mountain Pass. You shouldnt stop me in doing this. If I cant find the thing I am looking for, I will turn around and leave. But if I find it, you will have to hand it over, and I wont attack you. Otherwise, even if this emperor has some price to pay for it, he will definitely tear everything down. The Demon God Emperors voice was calm, and clearly cold, but listening to him, the six human powerhouses felt greatly shaken. Compared to the Demon God Emperor who felt some restraining fear towards them, they felt at least ten times more afraid of him. Among humans, they were the only ones who could possibly contend against the Demon God Emperor at the present time. In case they died in the Exorcist Mountain Pass without inflicting the Demon God Emperor serious damage, no human at the mountain passes would possibly be able to block the demon chiefs offense. Truly an ending benefitting none of the two sides: humans and demons were both unwilling to see ite to this. It would just end up as a war until total extermination of one of the two sides! The six human powerhouses became silent. A faint golden radiance spread around the knights body, enveloping the six of them in it as if they were nning on discussing the situation among themselves. A short timeter, the knight acting as their head replied to him, Okay, please search for it, Your Majesty. We wont block you no matter what. They didnt know what the Demon God Emperor was looking for, but if the Exorcist Mountain Pass really had this thing he was looking for, it wouldnt be toote to decide whether to hand it over to him or not. Conversely, if the Demon God Emperor didnt find anything, the danger confronting them would naturally be settled without a fight. No other humans understood the Demon God Emperor better than them. This demon emperor attached at least some importance to his reputation. He would never bear to let his dignity be offended. The Demon God Emperor snorted coldly, and a momentter, the ck in the skies spread again. The whole sky above the Exorcist Mountain turned ck, and shapeless fluctuations of mental force arose abruptly, covering each corner of the Exorcist Mountain Pass like gusts of rain. Long Haochen immediately felt as if he had been enveloped in a boundless ocean, as if that massive mental force was breaking him open. In the middle of this huge and boundless energy, he felt as if he was disappearing. And everyone else felt simrly as Long Haochen, their faces turning pale. This was the frightening level the strength of his mental energy reached. Suddenly, Long Haochen felt his entire body lighting up, and immediately, his 3000 units of internal energy flowed out madly, following a strange orbit. On his forehead, a trace of light appeared vaguely. It was not a purple one, but rather a golden one. The attention of the people around was focused on the Demon God Emperor and the six humans, so naturally, no one paid attention to this change on Long Haochens body. But Long Haochens face changed greatly. He could feel that it was precisely Haoyue who was borrowing his force. Thinking of the fact the Demon God Emperor was looking for a three-headed magical beast, Long Haochen felt secretly overwhelmed with horror.?Could it be that this demon ruler is really looking for Haoyue? Chapter 210 - Demon God Emperor (III)

Chapter 210: Demon God Emperor (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Living quarters. At some point, Haoyue had opened his six eyes, his aura restrained to the limit. Little mes and Little Greens two heads were still lying down, while Little Light had lifted his head. His eyes glimmered with golden color. If someone was looking carefully at this scene, he would notice that the holy aura surrounding him was exactly the same as Long Haochens. Not only that, but the scales on Haoyues body were covered with golden light, just as if his whole body changed color. If Long Haochen was there, he would surely guess that the current Haoyue was borrowing the light energying from inside of Long Haochens body to mask his own aura. He was in fact an existenceing from another world, and at the time he crossed over, he passed through a baptism with the holy aura contained in Long Haochens blood, therefore, the blood of the Scion of Light had already be a part of him. And just now, he was cleverly using this part of his blood vessels to arouse this power, temporarily making it his own to mask his own aurapletely. The Demon God Emperor was still quietly flying in midair, and gradually, his eyes shed in different colors, sweeping over the direction of the Exorcist City. Half an hour already passed, and for both the human and the demon side, this half hour was far from being a time of pleasure. One side was ready to attack at any time, while the other one was prepared for the start of a bloody battle. They were just waiting calmly for the result to appear. In the end, the ck color covering the sky withdrew gradually, and the Demon God Emperor waved his hands, It looks like my information was false. The six humans standing at his opposite discovered astonishingly that the demon gods eyes, showed traces of relief. These six couldnt help but feel secretly stunned: what kind of important thing was this Demon God Emperor looking for? For an existence such as him to be nervous about it, not onlying personally, but furthermore not sparing any cost to seize it. The knight d in the orange armor suit dered indifferently, Since it is like this, please respect your previous promise, Your Highness. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled, a faint smile appearing on his extremely pale-colored face, as he carried a particrly demonic expression. In reality, I really want to know for how long you six will stay alive, for how long you will keep hindering me. Whether your world ends sooner orter will depend on us. But in fact, you dont have to worry; with regards to humans, we dont feel so inclined to perform a total ughter. After all, there are many things humans possess that we demons, need. For instance, knowledge. Because the knights face was hidden behind his helmet, his expression could not be seen distinctly, We will keep Your Majestys words in mind. Only, His Majesty should be careful to never give us the opportunity to retaliate. We, Demon God yers, have already taken the lives of 39 of the demon gods within our 300 years of existence. Being able to take a fortieth would undoubtedly make it a perfect end, wouldnt it? The Demon God Emperor suddenly revealed a brazen smile, Actually, I dont really want you to die. In this world, if we dont have a worthy enemy, wouldnt life be dull? This emperor might tell you that as well, but in fact, you have only 5% odds to take me down by yourselves. This is because, among Demon God Emperors, this emperor is the third one to have broken through the 1,000,000th spiritual energy level, and the youngest one to have reached this level. Is the realm of the 1,000,000th level something you are possibly able to contend against? Then, farewell. The Demon God Emperor revealed a tranquil smile, his demonic smile staying in everyones minds. Next, the ck-gown-d emperor suddenly turned around and left, disappearing in this dark golden brilliance. The darkness in the sky faded away like ice and snow, and the concealed demon army appeared once again, sessively withdrawing. They stayed meticulously arranged,pletely unruffled. Even at this time, the six almighty humans stayed in mid-air, not moving an inch and gazing at the dark color dissipating gradually. This time, the demons disappeared for real. Following the Demon God Emperor, the main demon force departed like an enormous wave. Obviously, they nned either to execute an all-out attack, or to withdraw like that. Following the retreating demon force with their eyes, many of the people in the city felt like copsing. Even if they had faced a bloody battle, they wouldnt necessarily be in such a state. but as an endless hour passed, the pressure this Demon God Emperor brought them was just too intense. Six elders, the demons finally retreated. Please have a rest in our Exorcist City. Sheng Yue respectfully paid his salutations to the six almighty elders, that turned around but didnt n on heading to the city. These six were clearly led by the knight, who gave him an indifferent reply, No need. We still have to follow the Demon God Emperors movements, so as to ensure he doesnt use some tricks. I heard that the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads train in the Exorcist City right now? Yes. Sheng Yue hurried to reply. He was a powerhouse of the ninth step as well, but he still acted extremely respectfully towards those almighty people, following the etiquette of a devoted disciple. Sheng Yue, so you The aged knights voice could suddenly not be heard anymore, as Sheng Yue nodded, confronting him face to face. A momentter, the six silhouettes turned into six rays of light, soaring to the skies and immediately disappearing from his line of sight. Still in front of the city gate tower, Sheng Yue unexpectedly kneeled down, dering loudly, Respects to you, Demon God yers. Without any need to instruct them to do so, all the officers and soldiers in the city kneeled down as well, dering in loud voices, Respects to you, Demon God yers. They were clear about the fact that if not for these six almighty humans appearance, they would probably not have made it back safely. Demons side. Fengxiu floated calmly in midair. At that moment, the massive demon god pir wasnt at his back, and his appearance really resembled a humans. Allocer, Zagan, and Seere bowed before him. These three great demon gods bodies were somewhat shivering, and it was obvious that they were quite nervous, even afraid. Your Majesty, I We really felt his aura. And thats why Please give me your punishment, Your Majesty. Allocer was after all the highest ranked demon god out of those three, so he summoned up the entirety of his courage to dere this. Xiufeng asked indifferently, How is it that you had such absolute assurance? I Allocer didnt dare reply. Even if he really had this assurance, how could he dere it so brazenly now? More importantly, he only had a little sensation at that time, and nothing more. These six annoying guys didnt obstruct my scouting, and I have already epassed every inch of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Still, I didnt find any trace of Austin Griffins aura. Being red at by Fengxius indifferent nce, the three demon gods immediately kneeled down, totally helpless. Squatting down, they didnt dare try to defend themselves. Let it be. You did well. If it was really his aura, even if there was only 1% odds for it to be true, you should still have notified me immediately. Although this trip was fruitless, we can at least be at ease. With a wave of Fengxius hand, an incorporeal surge of energy raised Allocers group up. With a dull smile appearing on Fengxius face and his ck hair fluttering, he gave off a sort of dazzling feeling, making it hard to distinguish his gender. Truly interesting. Although this time, I didnt find him, I found another interesting little guy. It looks like there may be a candidate to be my second sessor. Hearing his words, the three demon gods felt at a loss, and didnt dare argue. Among demons, the difference of rank was extremely distinct. Even among the demon gods, the differences in ranking would also imply extreme differences in terms of strength. If Fengxiu wanted to kill those three, it wouldnt be harder than to trample a few ants. More importantly, the Demon God Emperor was the symbol of the demons that could be considered to personate their whole race. His words were for demons absolute rules. We shall go. A few yearster, lets look for this interesting guy. This time, those six annoying guys have been a hindrance once again, but their vital forces turned out to grow weaker and weaker. For how long will they be able to persevere? Five years, or ten? Then, humans will finally be dust below my feet. Treading on the emptiness, the sky suddenly dulled, and in the air, an earth-shattering enormous dragon twinkled. In the next instant, the Demon God Emperor was gone. The 1st soldier ranked Demon Hunt Squad and all the others returned to their respective living quarters. As he walked, Lin Xin patted his own chest, Ive really been scared to death, just now. That was the Demon God Emperor! So frightening! Is it really a level humans can reach? Have you heard about the 1,000,000 levels of spiritual energy?! He said he already reached the 1,000,000th spiritual energy level! What kind of concept is that? From what I heard, at the ninth step, the most frightening thing is not only the total amount of spiritual energy, but the fact that each attack will directly reach the power of this upper bound. And after a single blow, the users spiritual energy will immediately return to its peak, so the next attacks will also possess the power of their full spiritual energy. Doesnt this mean that each of the blows of the Demon God Emperor, who reached the 1,000,000 spiritual energy, will in terms of power reach these 1,000,000? Okay, okay, stop speaking about it. If you keep going on, you are going to destroy all our confidence. Sima Xian unhappily told him. He was originally extremely satisfied, having just broken through to the fifth step. But just now, he experienced what real almighty power was, immediately feeling as though there was no difference between an ant and himself. Wang Yuanyuan muttered, Im d that the Demon God Emperor wasnt looking for Haoyue. A three headed demon, I just thought Hearing hear say this, except from Caier, the others immediately looked at Long Haochen. Ever sinceing back from the battlefield, Long Haochen didnt mutter a single word. They knew clearly that if the Demon God Emperors goal had been Haoyue, considering Long Haochens temper, even with the difference existing between an enemy like the Demon God Emperor and himself, he would still have fought him, staking his life. Feeling hispanions attentive watch, Long Haochen admitted with a sigh, I can still not confirm that he was actually not looking for Haoyue. Chapter 211 - Demon God Slayers (I)

Chapter 211: Demon God yers (I)

I can still not confirm that he was actually not looking for Haoyue. Hearing Long Haochen say these words, hispanions expressions became grotesque. Chen Yinger asked with a curious smile, Dont you agree that we should expect a lot from Haoyue, then? If hes a magical beast even the Demon God Emperor would look personally for, what kind of level could he possible reach in the future!? Hehe. Wang Yuanyuan nodded, dering, Its a pity, but if Haoyue really had been what he was looking for, Im afraid he wouldnt have managed to escape the Demon God Emperors mental probing. So I reckon that its not the case. Long Haochen didnt tell them about the changes that happened with his own body, because this was Haoyues secret. Rapidly, they arrived back at their living quarters. The instant after they pushed the door open, the others didnt have any reaction, but Long Haochen and Caier were immediately shaken, unconsciously taking a few steps back, and not entering directly. It wasnt because they detected any changes in the living quarters at all, but because they felt a sudden chill from their subconscious mind, as if the living quarters before their eyes had turned into an abyss that could engulf everything. The others reactions werent slow, and with Long Haochen and Caiers sudden alerts, they stepped back, entering their battle formation. Enter, all of you. Sheng Yues downcast voice rang out from inside, letting Long Haochen loosen his breath. As it turned out, this uncorporeal sense of danger wasing from his great-grandfather. Only, why did he suddenlye to their living quarters? With some hesitation, everyone walked up in a line. Long Haochens look immediately fell on Haoyue, who was sleeping in a corner. As before, Haoyue was lying there as if nothing happened, still deep asleep. Inside of the living quarters were two people, Sheng Yue, and another middle-aged man in his thirties. At that moment, that middle-aged man was standing at Haoyues side, looking at him and revealing a faint smile. But the most astonishing was that Sheng Yue bent down at his side, extremely respectful. Great-grandfather. Seeing Sheng Yue, Long Haochen hurried to give his salutations. The others who followed him also paid respects to this head of the Assassin Temple. Sheng Yue waved his hand to them, hinting them to wait a moment. That middle-aged man slowly turned around, directly looking at Long Haochen. Confronting him, the first thing Long Haochen noticed was his pair of boundless eyes. Thats right, the impression this middle-aged mans eyes gave could only be described as boundless. They were of a dark blue color, giving the same kind of boundless feeling as the vast sea. This middle-aged mans appearance didnt stand out at all, and was even kind of ordinary. But he merely stood there, treating the Master of the Assassin Temple, the Heroic Assassin of the ninth step Sheng Yue, as if he was a mere attendant. And more importantly, this middle-aged man didnt emit any particrly imposing aura, looking just like an ordinary adult. This odd scene made the seven youths from the 1st Demon Hunt Squad feel dull, in particr Long Haochen and Caier who had better perceptions. Long Haochen was startled, and Caier wrinkled her brows. She was blind, but even with her other senses, she waspletely unable to grasp this man. Just like the wind or the light, he gave off a kind of pure feeling. Hello, young people from the 1st soldier grade squad. As this middle-aged man only said a few things, the expressions of Long Haochens group of seven immediately changed. It was because they had heard this voice before. It was precisely the aged voice of the Demon God yer knight, d in an orange armor. For a moment, Long Haochens group of seven waspletely stupefied. No matter what, they just couldnt think of any reason why this great character woulde to their living quarters. The middle-aged man revealed a faint smile, Didnt expect me toe? Actually, this time, it was for two reasons that I came. The first one was the Demon God Emperors move, and you are the second one. Everyone felt fuzzy-headed. This legendary and almighty hero came for them? Long Haochen couldnt help but ask, Senior, so you are The middle aged man revealed a smile, Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Zidian, leader of the Demon God yers Demon Hunt Squad, and Guardian Knight. The name Chen Zidian felt unfamiliar to Long Haochens group, but the words Demon God yers added to Demon Hunt Squad caused Long Haochens group of seven to open their eyes wide. Those six almighty characters that appeared just now, were actually a Demon Hunt Squad? Although they had known for a long time now that the Demon Hunt Squads were of extreme importance to the Alliance, they didnt really know that a Demon Hunt Squad could actually reach such a terrifying level. The Demon God yers, this was clearly the title of a special Demon Hunt Squad, one only given to the highest ranked Titled Demon Hunt Squads. And naturally only a Demon Hunt Squad of such high grade could actually make the Demon God Emperor feel some apprehension. This was how glorious, how strong they were. Because at that time, those almighty legends confronted the Demon God Emperor, whose power was enough to totally discourage everyone, unconsciously, their eyes momentarily glinted brilliantly.?So as it turns out, Demon Hunt Squads can disy such power! Seeing the changes in these childrens expression, Chen Zidian dered, 312 years ago, before the Demon God yers birth, we were just like you, possessing the title of 1st soldier grade squad. I can still remember it clearly: at that time, I was 17 years-old, as I became the captain of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. And since then, a very long time passed! Today, I am 329 years-old, and can already not be called young anymore. But I am not willing to be buried before taking care of my responsibilities. Human life will lengthen together with the increase of ones spiritual energy. With a spiritual energy at the 10,000th level one can live for a hundred years under normal circumstances. In case he reaches the 9th step, his spiritual energy breaking through the 100,000, he will be able to live for two hundred years. But we have already lived for more than 300 years, and humans lifespans can in the end notst for as long as those demon gods. We already reached thest years of our lives. At most, we can live for roughly five more years. The youths belonging to the 1st Demon Hunt Squad listened to this legendary powerhouses talk. He spoke pretty naturally, as if he was talking about the most trivial things. But including Caier, Long Haochens seven were full of respect. A Demon Hunt Squad with a career of 312 years, this implied that these Demon God yers resisted the demons for a total of 312 years. This kind of aplishment, what kind of investment did it imply? They simply devoted their whole life to humanity. Chen Zidian dered, These years, we have always been watching theter generations growth. Its a pity, but from beginning to end we have been unable to find people that have the ability to take over our duty. Since three hundred years ago, genius had not beencking, but we have yet to find a sufficiently outstanding team. Youre Long Haochen? Chen Zidings look fell on Long Haochen. Yes, senior. Long Haochen bowed respectfully. Chen Zidian nodded and said, At that time, your father was a good candidate. But unfortunately, he had some ws in his disposition. He was excessively dogmatic, and didnt have enough foresight, putting all his energy in improving his own capability. Even though his strength was formidable enough, he couldnt be called an outstanding team leader. Within the 1st Demon Hunt Squad, few would speak of their own families. Only Caier and Han Yu knew of Long Haochens background, but at the same time they didnt really know about their other teammates backgrounds. Still even, among the two of them, only Caier was knowledgeable about Long Haochens past, whereas Han Yu only knew some bits of it. At this moment, hearing an almighty hero like Chen Zidian mention the strength of Long Haochens father, describing him as formidable enough, every other member of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad was impressed. In fact, since Long Haochen was only a little more than 10 years-old, how old could his father be? For him to have been called formidable by this almighty elder, perhaps he was a powerhouse of the ninth step! And as for the powerhouses of the ninth step of the Knight Temple These youths, all members of a Demon Hunt Squad, werent ordinary people. With a few simple words from Chen Zidian, they had some guesses about the identity of Long Haochens father. For a moment, they could only look at each other in dismay, as some fire started to burn in them. Being his own man, Long Haochen would naturally not goment things pertaining to his own father, only listening to Chen Zidians talk. Anyway, he wouldnt refute him; this legendary figure of the Alliance having already lived for more than 300 years, how could his evaluation be impertinent? Chen Zidians deep nce suddenly became more intense, his pure and limpid eyes giving him shivers, in the depths of his soul. Heroes are born from the hands of fate, everything going ordingly to the Will of Heavens. Many years ago, I met Xingyu, who told me about you. For this reason, I recently paid attention to your Demon Hunt Squads performance. You did pretty well, all of you are outstanding youngsters. And all of you have a glorious heritage. All of the youths who came out this year are pretty good. But without doubt, you are the ones who possess the greatest potential. I hope that one day, you will be able to lead your team to take over our position. As Chen Zixuan said these words, his tone was extremely sincere. As for these seven members of the 1st Demon Hunt Squads, they felt as if they had just been ignited by violent surges of light and me. Even Caiers face looked a bit excited. A genuine team is bound to have members that trust each otherpletely, without the least estrangement. And for this, you have to understand each otherpletely, first of all. This is absolutely not about showing off, but about letting yourpanions know your real strength and potential. This is the most straightforward path for a team to develop Chapter 212 - Demon God Slayers (II)

Chapter 212: Demon God yers (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At this point, Chen Zidian almost seemed to be in an excited mood, Children, you now have boundless opportunities. But the process of growing up is essential, and during this process, you will only be able to rely on yourselves. Only by relying on your own efforts will you obtain real strength. I wish that one day, you will be able to inherit the title of Demon God yers, take over our position, and even do better than us. Haochen, is it your magical beastpanion that the Demon God Emperor searched for? Chen Zidians look shifted to the other side, in the direction of the deeply sleeping Haoyue. Long Haochen didnt dare hide it, unfolding the situation, It is highly possible, but I dont dare to be sure of it. Chen Zidians eyes shed, I also reckon it as highly possible. From my investigation, youpleted a blood contract with him at the time you went to the Knights Saint Mountain. Since this is the case, until you two are powerful enough, dont let him appear in ces where the Demon God Emperor could learn of his existence. He just managed to conceal himself from the Demon God Emperor, so he should be able to keep doing so in the future. Humans need a hero like the Scion of Samsara of that time. I came today to encourage you, but also to tell you about a story behind-the-scenes. Since 6000 years ago, we humans spared no efforts to develop, trying to contend against the demon powerhouses. But even now, we are still unable to genuinely contend against the demons. The main reason for this are the 72 demon gods. It is precisely because of their strength that we have no choice but to rely on our natural barriers to resist them. And this is only under the premise that the six of us are keeping the Demon God Emperor in check. In case we die, if the Demon God Emperor directlyes to attack us humans, the natural defenses will not be of use anymore. Since 300 years ago, we have already killed 39 demon gods, one after another. Among them, the highest ranked was the 4th demon god. But some new ones filled the gaps without any dy, and even now, they still have 72 demon gods. And do you know why this count doesnt go down? Long Haochens group had learned about these matters before, and Han Yu, who had a good understanding of the situation, blurted out almost unconsciously, It is because of the demon god pirs. Chen Zidian nodded in response, Correct, it is precisely because of the demon god pirs. To the demon race, demon gods pirs are divine artifacts. The 72 demon gods, possess 72 of these divine artifacts. As long as the demon god pirs exist, even if a demon god dies, their lineage can still be carried on as before. Thus, there is only one way to truly kill the demon gods, which is to destroy their demon god pirs at the same time they are killed. However, as demons divine artifacts, how could they be so easy to destroy? After we learned of this secret, we went through countless attempts that have in the end never been sessful. But we managed to draw a conclusion from this. To destroy a demon god pir, the first premise is to have enough power to destroy these formidable weapons, and the second to act before half an hour passes after the demon gods death, for it to be possible. We formerly almost seeded once, but ten demon gods suddenly attacked us at thest minute. Since then, demons are paying increased attention to the defense of their demon god pirs, and they are less likely to take their demon god pir with them as they act. Long Haochen asked, Senior, since demon god pirs are the demon gods divine artifacts, what level does a piece of equipment need to reach to destroy it? Does it need to be another divine artifact? Chen Zidian shook his head and replied, The 72 divine god pirs are collectively known as demonic divine artifacts. Their ranking is the same as that of the demon gods, so differences of power exist between them. And even to destroy the weakest demon god pir, you will need at the very least a piece of epic tier equipment. As a result, the road you have to walk is still long. Otherwise, we could have already destroyed some of the demon god pirs. And there is another thing I have to warn you about. If one day, your cultivation level reaches the ninth step, and you go to get a divine thrones acknowledgement, you have to act carefully, following the divine thrones directions. Because when I had the gotten the approval of four of the divine thrones, I still insisted on striving for the Eternal Divine Throne. I ended up empty-handed and will never ever be able to acquire a divine throne. Your talent is a lot greater than mine at your age, but no matter what, you cannot act as persistently as I did. The help any of the divine thrones will bring you is, after all, bound to be iparable. Yes! Thank you, senior. Chen Zidian took a deep breath, his gaze growing distant, as he dered in disappointment and frustration,The 72 demon god pirs are the demons vital source of power. For each one they lose, the demons strength will decrease as a whole, and the heritage they obtain as well. I am afraid this is something we are unable to do anymore, but I hope that during your life, you will be able to destroy a few demon god pirs. The Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsaras joint appearance gave humanity a chance for counterattack in the end. I look forward to the day you will seed. Senior. Long Haochen suddenly called out. Mh? Chen Zidian gave him a warm look. Long Haochen dered, Senior, if one day we can really be a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, will we be able to choose a name for ourselves? Haochen! At the side, Sheng Yue couldnt help but shout at him. What kind of honor did the Demon God yers hold, for the whole of humanity? And he actually declined such an honor being passed to him? Everyone in the 1st Demon Hunt Squad also felt stunned. Chen Zidian waved his hands to Sheng Yue, Then, which title would you wish for your Demon Hunt Squad to possess in the future? After muttering to himself irresolutely, Long Haochen raised his head, persistence and resolution appearing in his eyes, I hope that our Demon Hunt Squad can be called Bright Rays of Sunlight. Chen Zidian looked a bit distracted, but he rapidly recovered his usual expression, and replied with augh, Okay, okay, okay. Then call yourselves Bright Rays of Sunlight. Very well, you will not have to aim at seeding us, but at surpassing us. Bright Rays of Sunlight! These four words resounded in the mind of the seven members of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. In this instant, everyone seemed to understand what Long Haochen meant by that, and couldnt help but clench their own fists. I cannot help you to grow up, which would spoil things for you by going to excessive lengths for little result. As long as you understand it, your talent will really make you reach the peak, and my objective will be aplished. But since today, this old man came, he wants to give you a little gift. You are quite lucky, this gift happens to be something the seven of you can share. In the next instant, the whole living quarter was filled with holy aura, and seven enormous golden symbols rose like living beings, entering the chests of the seven members of Long Haochens group. Everyone felt a short but sharp pain in their bodies, and then they felt a close rtion forming between their own blood and flesh and theirpanions. A faint golden fog ascended on everyones bodies, a profound exuberant and fantastic feeling flowing through them. Chen Zidian smiled faintly, and exined, This is a type of equipment that was created during the early phase of the splendid era, and is an advanced inheritance from the elvens imperial family. This items utility is formidable and can bepletely shared between the seven of you. Every time one of you is wounded, the seven of you will share the pain. Its name is Soul Linking Chains. Of course, at anytime, each of you can break the links of the Soul Linking Chains by your own initiative. If you do so, you wont be affected by the Soul Linking Chains, until you take the initiative to activate it again. This simple exnation left Long Haochens group of seven pleasantly surprised. An epic tier equipment, this was an epic tier equipment with a peaked level of assistance! Seven people sharing everything, this implied that the seven of them would get to act as a single entity. In a time of danger, their groups survival rate would increase substantially. At the same time, when they acted separately, every time one of them was attacked, the others would be alerted. This piece of equipment was of boundless utility for their future. Do your best then, children. Maybe I wont see that day, but even in the afterlife, I will pray for the Bright Rays of Sunlight to surpass the Demon God yers. Bathed in gusts of golden light, Chen Zidians silhouette disappeared soundlessly, just as if it turnedpletely into light. Without anyone instructing them, the seven of them kneeled down on the ground, paying respects to where he disappeared. Seeing this scene, Sheng Yue feltpletely gratified and full of pride, pride for these children. He didnt say anything else, simply stepping out, and also disappearing into emptiness. Some timeter, the seven youths forming the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad got up. Long Haochen turned around, looking at hispanions, Senior Chen is right, we arepanions, and should not conceal our backgrounds from each other. I am Long Haochen, have an innate spiritual energy of 97 and the physique of the Scion of Light. My father is the owner of the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter of the Knight Temple, Divine Knight of Adjudication Long Xingyu. He still didnt know that due to the Light Elemental Fairy, his innate internal spiritual energy had risen to 99. Even though at that time, everyone already guessed who Long Haochens father was, hearing about his innate spiritual energy of 97 left Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Sima Xian and Chen Yinger shocked. Han Yu and Caier already knew of this secret, and their reactions werent as exaggerated as the others. _An innate spiritual energy of 97, physique of the Scion of Light Its no wonder that he already has such aplishments at such a young age, that he could directly make the Light Elemental Fairy evolve, and that he is so kindhearted._ Just at that time, while everyone was stillpletely astonished, Caier muttered at Long Haochens side, My whole name is Sheng Caier, Heroic Senior Sheng Yue is my great-grandfather. My innate internal spiritual energy is 93, but after acquiring the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, it rose to 100. Except from Long Haochen, none of the other five knew of this secret. An innate internal spiritual energy of 97 already left them shocked to the extreme, but with this Scion of Samsaras inheritance, everyone couldnt help but tremble for a moment. Chapter 213 - Recuperation! Cai’er’s Stove of Samsara!

Chapter 213: Recuperation! Caiers Stove of Samsara!

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Scion of Light, Saint Daughter of Samsara. Just now, Chen Zidian mentioned these terms. And the other five finally understood why Chen Zidian would choose their first soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, and had such high expectations for them. Two kinds of talents so rare that they never appeared for 2,000 years, had now unexpectedly emerged at the same time, and were part of their team. Although these legendary heroes were formidable, speaking in terms of innate talent, they would probably be poles apart from these two. The physique of the Scion of Light was somethingpletely new and had never appeared ever before. And the Scion of Samsara from the legends took the Demon God Emperor down by himself! Even though at that time, the Demon God Emperor was already in a rather weak state, it was still a Demon God Emperor! For these two to have joined the same Demon Hunt Squad, one could imagine its future development After no less than a few minutes, Han Yu finally reacted, taking a deep breath, My grandfather is the Saint Knight Chief of the Temple Alliance, Han Qian. My innate internal spiritual energy was 63, but after I aplished a retainer contract with Master, I enjoyed the innate talent sharings effects, boosting my innate internal spiritual energy up to 80, barely reaching the level of the physique blessed by the heavens. Something like that can be done? At the side, Sima Xian immediately leapt up, suddenly dashing to Long Haochens side and grabbing his hand, Boss, Captain, do you ept other retainers knights? Make me one please! My eeh innate internal spiritual energy is 69 So unfair, its only a single level apart from 70. There was only a single digit of difference between an innate internal spiritual energy of 69 and 70, but to be sure of breaking through from the eighth step to the ninth step, given enough efforts, the prerequisite was an internal spiritual energy of 70. If this prerequisite wasnt fulfilled, at least ten times the effort would be needed to seed, and the odds would be quite lower. Of course, the factor of luck was also important. People with innate internal spiritual energy above 70 were few, let alone those above 80 who were almost bound to reach the ninth step sooner orter. It wasnt surprising that he immediately became so excited. Long Haochen revealed a bitter smile, Lets wait for everyone to introduce themselves first. There should be no problem about it. But, Master, you already have two retainers. With one more, Im afraid that Han Yu hurried to his side. It wasnt that he wanted to reject Sima Xian, but the most important thing was to consider Long Haochens condition. Long Haochen shook his head, No problem. I dont n on exercising control over you, and furthermore, my innate mental capacity is high, there should be no problem if I took one more retainer. Hearing him say so, Han Yu stayed silent. Long Haochen was after all the Scion of Light, so his circumstances couldnt bepared with ordinary peoples. Sima Xians excitement immediately went up. Bing someone elses retainer wasnt anything glorious, but the masters identity was an important factor. After all this time, everyone had an even better understanding of Long Haochens temperament. He was after all able to draw the Light Elemental Fairy to him with his merciful heart alone. She profited from it, let alone his ownpanions. Seeing Han Yus unperturbed appearance was proof for that. I will introduce myself. I dont have any deep background: my father was a Berserker from the Warrior Temple, and my mother is an Archbishop of the sixth step from the Priest Temple. As I was very young, father died in a battle against the demons. He was a hero of the Warrior Temple. My holy attributees from my mother, but at the same time, I inherited my fathers ability of Madness. This makes me quite a misfit. Mother didnt wish for me to die on the battlefield like father did, so she raised me into bing a priest. But I wasnt able to learn any healing type abilities like a normal priest, while I was on the contrary very fast at learning fighting type abilities. This led to my current situation. Because I have never been trained by any kind of great master since young, I forged my path by myself, and my strength may be a bitckingpared to yours. Nheless, I will definitely do my best in the future to be a Discipline Priest. He made himself seem like nothing, but an innate internal spiritual energy of 69 was already a rare kind of outstanding genius within the whole Temple Alliance. To have reached the peak of the fourth step of cultivation at the age of barely 20 years-old and to have entered the fifth step shortly afterwards was not an easy thing to do. Lin Xin felt gloomy as he said, Why do I not possess the light attribute as well!? With the existence of such a great thing as the innate talent sharing, it would be great. My grandfather is the auxiliary chief of the Mage Alliance, Saint Mage Tutor and Mage Regiment Captain Lin Chen. But he doesnt really like me that much. I am pretty much the opposite of Sima Xian: he cannot learn healing magic, while I cannot use offensive magic. But in the fields of alchemy and spiritual energy cultivation, my innate talent is pretty good. With an innate internal spiritual energy of 74, if not for the fact that I cannot use offensive magic, Id say that big bro is also a genius. But well, lets only say that big bro has drugs, its already just as badass. From the foolish way he spoke, everyone couldnt help but break intoughter. But Long Haochen could faintly see that behind these foolish words, a surge of grief appeared in his eyes. Long Haochen thought to himself that the circumstances of Lin Xin being unable to learn offensive magic could not possibly be as simple as Sima Xians. Nheless, when it pertains to someone elses painful secrets, Long Haochen naturally wouldnt go ask about it. Wang Yuanyuan dered, Should be my turn. I dont have drugs, but I have my strength. I am the one who inherited the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, and my bloodline is among the most powerful of the Warrior Temple. My great-grandfather used to be a Berserker Warrior of the ninth step, before dying at the hands of the demons. My grandfather was the previous head of the Warrior Temple, also at the ninth step, but he also died, at the hands of the fifth demon god. And my father died together with my great-grandfather on the battlefield. In our family, I am the only sessor left. Hearing her words, everyone immediately had a serious expression. Her great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all died at the hands of the demons. It was no wonder that Wang Yuanyuan had such a behaviour when opposing demons, fighting as if her life depended of it. Her bloodline had been almostpletely wiped out! And although her usual expression was apathetic, the ughtering intent she gave off wasnt concealed at all. I admire the seniors of the Demon God yers, and my goal for life is to be like them. Thisdy ns to ughter her way to the demons side. Let me give you a warning, thisdy doesnt like men, and will not let herself have any entanglement on the emotional aspect. Except from killing all the demons, I have no other objective. Having said so much already, she shot a faint nce at Sima Xian who was still in a state of excitement. Having heard her words, Sima Xian was startled, the excitement he had from learning about the Innate Talent Sharing weakening quite a bit. Wrinkling his brows, he rapidly came back to his normal state. Sis Yuanyuan, theres no problem about the fact you dont like men. You still have me, and I dont like guys either. Chen Yingerughed happily, All of you have already met my grandmother, secondary head of the Spiritual Temple, summoner at the rank of Spiritual Emperor, Sanshui. My grandfather is in the same fashion the chief of the Spiritual Temple. They insist on marrying me to Yang Wenzhao, so I chose to run away. But I didnt expect my luck to be so good in the Demon Hunt Selection; I actually summoned a magical beast of the eighth step during the preliminaries. It was so intimidating that no one dared to confront me, and you know what happened afterwards. Let me tell you a secret: Yang Wenzhao is the grandson of Alliance Chief Yang Haohan. He is also someone you have already met in the past: he upies the post of chief of our Temple Alliance, and is the possessor of the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy, the Divine Knight of Defense and Strategy. Although everyone guessed earlier that Chen Yingers background wasnt ordinary, her words left them secretly astonished. The Spiritual Temple was the most mysterious of the six, but she was unexpectedly the granddaughter of its chief. Lin Xin asked with some curiosity, But how could that thing with your Creature Summoning Gate happen? Thats a summoning magic of the eighth step! Chen Yinger replied, somewhat helpless, My innate internal energy is rather odd, I am unable to use the numerous other kinds of summoning spells. My grandfather said that I was born with the innate talent of the Body of Chaos. My current situation is unusual because the Body of Chaoses with important indeterminacy. Before I reach the seventh step, any summoning spell will be a great challenge for me to learn. But if I grow to the seventh step, cultivating the mysteries of chaos, I will instantly be able to use every summoning spell essible to my step. Reportedly, demons are quite afraid of the people of my kind, so in case they learn of the appearance of a summoner possessing the Body of Chaos, they are bound to send numerous powerhouses to kill him off. Which is why my grandparents insist on connecting me with Yang Wenzhao by marriage. Hmpf, Im not afraid though. I dont need Yang Wenzhao to protect me, neither do I need to ask for my grandfathers or my grandmothers help. A physique causing great worry to the demons? Although they didnt know what could worry the demons like that, this Body of Chaos was still iparable to the Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara, quitecking inparison. But in their little team of seven, they already had three existences of highly special physique. After Chen Yinger finished introducing herself, Wang Yuanyuan revealed a bitter smile, I believe that if we can survive until the day we get that title, we wont be called a team of misfits anymore On the next morning, the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads leaders issued an order for all the members of the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads to pack up for traveling, preparing their return to Holy City. Their return, scheduled for the time after the three months of tests, was shifted to an earlier date because of the great demon armies retreat. As a whole, those tests were sessful, and the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads came backpletely intact. They contributed well to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and obtained ample approval from the Exorcist Mountain Pass military as well as the Assassin Temple. But their time as youths couldnt be wasted. Without an actual gain they naturally wouldnt stay there for so long. The end of this times tests also signified the start of those ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads real journey. Their most ultimate goal were the Demon God yers, who appeared on the continent 300 years ago. Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu personally sent the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads off. Looking at the girl standing next to Long Haochen, Lan Yanyus eyes were already moist. Due to the aftereffects of her husbands use of the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood, their rtionship with their daughter finally improved with great difficulty. But having to part with each other once again, as her mother, one could imagine her current pain. Sheng Lingxin also stood there, looking at their daughter with warm feelings, slightly pursing his lips. He already recovered all his memories, and the ones of his daughtering to visit him a few times had left a particrly deep impression on him. The other members of the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad already followed Gao Yingjie to get on the carriage, so only Long Haochen and Caier remained. Uncle Sheng, aunt Lan, take care of yourselves. Long Haochen respectfully bowed before Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu, not with a knight salute but with the bow of someone of the younger generation. Facing this youth who previously staked his life with him, Sheng Lingxin crossed the distance withrge strides, opened up his arms, and gave him a big hug. Haochen, thank you. These few words were full of emotions. Sheng Lingxin was very clear about the reason for these changes that happened with their daughter. If not for his help, their daughter wouldnt possibly have opened up like that. Despite the fact that their time of contact was short, Long Haochen had already conquered Sheng Lingxin with his actions. Could they possibly be fussy when they had this kindhearted and forgiving youth and owner of the physique of the Scion of Light as their daughters partner? Yes, they were still young, but so what? Sheng Lingxin firmly believed that no matter when, Long Haochen would strive to do his best and spare no efforts, to protect their daughter. Lan Yanyu followed Sheng Lingxin. At the time she hugged Long Haochen, Lan Yanyus wistful gaze fell on Caier. With a shivering voice, choking with emotions, she asked tentatively, Caier, mommy Can mommy hug you? Caiers face remained as nk as before, but with his sharp senses, Long Haochen saw clearly that her body shivered slightly. She was clearly not as undisturbed as she pretended to be. Yeah. Caier gave her a detached reply. Immediately, Lan Yanyus tears were flowing down. Taking a step forward, she suddenly threw herself at her daughter, crying loudly and bitterly. It was also at that time that Caier felt as if something shattered in her heart, as she finally broke the chains that had been restricting her for so long. An indescribable energy burst forth from deep inside her, and on her forehead, a vague sh of ck symbols appeared. GongC Under Long Haochens and Sheng Lingxins attentive watch, the bamboo cane in Caiers hand fell to the ground. Incorporeal grey streams of air suddenly burst out from her body and her two dull and emotionless eyes suddenly took on a deep ck color, as if countless rays of dark light illuminated them. Somewhat sluggish, Caier loosened her mothers one sided embrace. Slowly raising her hands, she herself took the initiative to lightly hug her mother. Her originally pure ck world was gradually dyed in various colors. Though this process was slow, each color became more and more distinct in her eyes. Thats right, just at the split second Caier epted her mothers embrace thest chains that had been restricting her Spiritual Stove of Samsara finally broke, and she ultimately obtained the real power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. At this very moment, Caier had recovered her eyesight. From this moment onwards, she was no longer just a blind girl, but the real Saint Daughter of Samsara who already overcame the loss of her five senses. The nearby images were distinct, and as Caier was embracing her mother, she could see everything surrounding her. She looked at him and at her father. And the expression in Caiers eyes became foolish. After thest traces of her former coldness disappeared, her eyes finally became moist. Mo Mother Father Chapter 214 - We are the champions (I)

Chapter 214: We are the champions (I)

Ten dayster, Holy City. General assembly of the Alliance. The 61 members of the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads stood in front of their respective seats. Compared to the time they left Holy City, clear changes could be detected on them. Including their time on the road, three months had already passed since the team selection. After those three months, their faces had already lost all childishness, and gained an unswerving determination acquired through many hardships. Yesterday evening, they reached Holy City. And this morning, they were immediately called to this assembly. Thepletion of their three months of tests implied that the Demon Hunt Selection Competition had finallye to aplete end. Today would be theirst gathering. The next day, they were going to part ways, starting their own individual journeys with their respective Demon Hunt Squads. The ten Demon Hunt Squad leaders entered in a line, from the main door of the assembly, and were followed by the symbolic leaders of the Six Great Temples. They were the chief knight of the Knight Temple, Han Qian, the heroic grand chief of the Assassin Temple, Ying Suifeng, the grand berserker head of the Warrior Temple, Ren Wokuang, the auxiliary hall master of the Priest Temple and head of the Sacrificial Hall, Ruoshui, the head of the mage regiment, Lin Chen, from the Mage Temple, as well as the grand spiritual master from the Spiritual Temple, Sanshui. At this time, these six auxiliary heads of the Six Great Temples all had benevolent expressions while taking their seats in session. Except for Gao Yingjie, the other nine leaders sat in a row, at their back. Gao Yingjie stepped on the stage in the front, and after the six auxiliary hall masters took their seats, he stood straight, performing a knight salute. This was the sign for the official beginning of this conference. Han Qian nodded to him. Gao Yingjie dered in a deep voice, Leader of the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, reporting. The ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads performed satisfactorily during their test. They gained the approval of the Exorcist Mountain Pass military and received a rather good evaluation. All members of the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads performed outstandingly well, andpleted this test brilliantly. Han Qian nodded to him, Thanks for your trouble, the ten of you. Please return. Gao Yingjie clenched his fist before his chest, returning to the second row afterpleting another knight salute. Han Quian rose and stepped on the stage. Han Qian smiled faintly, looking at the 61 youths below, dering, We are very satisfied. You used your own abilities and actions to prove your capability to the Alliance. You are the pride of the Alliance, and the pride of your respective Temples. Compared to knowing about your performance, I am even happier to be able to see all of you return before me safe and sound. Now, the end of the tests signifies that youpleted the whole process of the Demon Hunt Selection. Your performances were exceptional, and for all the hardships you have faced on the battlefield, the Alliance decided to bestow your final rewards ording to the contribution points you earned. Next, I will read your ranks, from lowest to highest. 8th Demon Hunt Squad of soldier grade, total amount of contribution points of the team: 1,280. 9th Demon Hunt Squad, total amount of contribution points of the team: 1,346. 6th Demon Hunt Squad, total amount of contribution points of the team: 1,451() 5th Demon Hunt Squad, total amount of contribution points of the team: 2,041. 3rd Demon Hunt Squad, total amount of contribution points of the team: 2,062. After announcing the total amount of contribution points for seven of the Demon Hunt Squads, Han Qian paused for a little moment. Up until today, all of the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads didnt know how much contribution points the other teams earned. But hearing that the 3rd Demon Hunt Squad he led actually ended up 4th, not entering the top three, Duan Yis and his whole team had ugly expressions. The fact they didnt get into the top three implied that they wouldnt get any reward in the team contest. At this moment, the only ones that hadnt been called out yet were the 1st, the 2nd and the 4th Demon Hunt Squads. After shortly ncing at the 42 discouraged Demon Hunt Squads members, Han Qian continued, The results of the final top three were extremely close to your scores. And although the rewards for the team contest are not negligible, they are no more than a drop in the oceanpared to everything you will gain in the future. At the 3rd rank is the 2nd Demon Hunt Squad with a total amount of 2,115 contribution points. They receive a reward of 300 contribution points per person. Hearing Han Qians announcement, Yang Wenzhaos pupils immediately shrank, unconsciously clenching his fists tightly.?Lost I lost once again. And this time, I only got the third position.?His look fell unconsciously on Long Haochen at his side, thinking to himself secretly,?How is that possible?! They missed roughly 50 days of missions! At this very moment, the most nervous ones were the members of the 1st and the 4th Demon Hunt Squads. As their captains, Long Haochen and Luc Xi couldnt help but straighten up. Second position, 4th Demon Hunt Squad with a total amount of 2,158 contribution points. They receive a reward of 500 contribution points per person. Hearing this announcement, Luc Xi leaned back in disappointment. His shock was even greater than Yang Wenzhaos. Thats right, in terms of ability as captain, he couldntpare with Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao, but the 4th Demon Hunt Squad had the best bnce in terms of its vocations. They went all out, and obtained such outstanding results. But even though they defeated the 2nd and the 3rd squads, they still lost in the end. Han Qian revealed a smile, The final 1st position naturally belongs to the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. Its too bad for the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, because you only lost with a difference of 2 contribution points and no more. The 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad gained a total of 2,160 contribution points. They win the final team award of 1,000 contribution points per person, excluding their retainer knight. Senior Saint Knight Chief. Luc Xi stood up, and although he was clearly agitated, he still gave Han Qian a reverential salute. Han Qian smiled, Luc Xi, do you have any questions? Luc Xi took a deep breath, barely controlling his own emotions, and looked at the nearby Long Haochen, saying, Senior Saint Knight Chief, I have two questions. Our Demon Hunt Selection is supposed to be fair, and has impartiality as its doctrine. I am not calling the Alliances final decision into question, but as the captain of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, I wish to understand why we lost. Okay, give us your questions then. Han Qian was clearly unperturbed, and answered with a smile. Because of the excitement Luc Xis face was somewhat flushed, as he said aloud, Senior Saint Knight Chief, for this test, mypanions and I already did our utmost in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, sparing no efforts. And after more than two months of hard work, we finally obtained a total amount of 2,158 contribution points. My first question is, although the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad is remarkable, and obviously a lot more powerful than ours, under circumstances where they didnt participate in any missions for 49 days, how is it possible that they earned a total of 2,160 contribution points? And I believe the other Demon Hunt Squads are also questioning this fact. As he said so, the majority of the Demon Hunt Squads could only nod in approval. Although Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, who didnt express dissatisfaction, also lost, they were in a different position. Compared to the 4th Demon Hunt Squad that almost ended up as champions, they naturally at least wished to see the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad led by Long Haochen, from the same Knight Temple as them, obtain this honor. After all, Long Haochen was also the one who won the final victory in the individualpetition. My second question is about Long Haochens retainer knight. Senior Saint Knight Chief, ording to the rules of the Alliance, retainer knights can not contribute to the teams total amount of contribution points. But contribution points can be passed to each other through the contribution tiles. How can the Alliance guarantee that Long Haochens retainer knight didnt pass all his contribution points over to Long Haochen? Even if he only handed Long Haochen two contribution points, it would have influenced the final results of the team contest. Reaching thisst point, Luc Xi clearly felt quite agitated. The difference of awarded contribution points between the first and the second ce was after all over 3,000! To say nothing of the even more important glory that the final victor received. At this time, even Li Xin whose rtionship with Long Haochen was the best, couldnt pacify Luc Xi. It was because Luc Xis speech was done out of consideration for the whole team, and not only out of selfishness. Hearing Luc Xis speech, Han Qian nodded and said in response, Please sit, captain Luc Xi. The Demon Hunt Squad Selection is of course fair, and has impartiality as its principle. Since you are asking for it, the Alliance has to give everyone an exnation. Leader Gao Yingjie, please enlighten us and answer Luc Xis two questions. Yes. Gao Yingjie stood up, once moreing to the front. Again offering a knight salute to the six seniors, he dered in a deep voice, I pledge on my honor as a knight, that everything I am about to say is pure truth. The six auxiliary hall masters nodded altogether. Gao Yingjie was an extremely influential figure in the Knight Temple. In his youth, he had also been the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad. It was the squad the father of that youngdy, Shi Xiaoxue, belonged to. During an operation, they had been victims of a demon ambush. Gao Yingjie had gone all out to protect hisrades in this situation of siege, but the enemy was led by a demon god whose strength surpassed theirs vastly. Ultimately, Gao Yingjie had ignited his own life with the holy fire, making use of the ability Sacrifice. In the process, he also ignited Shi Xiaoxues father and mother, to secure their other threepanions escape. Gao Yingjie had originally been resigned to die at the hands of the enemy, but at the time the demons were about to strike the final blow, another formidable Demon Hunt Squad came to his rescue. They had gotten the news, and ultimately saved him as he was on the verge of dying. Afterwards, Gao Yingjie med himself a lot for the death of Shi Xiaoxues parents. After spending three long years of rehabilitation to recuperate, he never again joined any other Demon Hunt Squad. But because he did not spare anything and even had the resolve to sacrifice his own life in order to save hispanions, gainingmon acknowledgement. He was also considered as having great odds to be a Pure Gold Foundation Knight in the future. Thus, even the six auxiliary hall masters held him in great esteem. Gao Yingjie turned back, looking at Luc Xi, and dered in the same deep voice, I will first address your first question. The fact the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad obtained over 2,000 contribution points is equally linked to strength as to luck. Long Haochen formerly received the order from the military chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Lingxin, to participate in an important military operation outside of the city by himself. Relying on the Eyes of Truth released by his mount, he saved the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment from the danger of annihtion! Chapter 215 - We are the champions (II)

Chapter 215: We are the champions (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the same asion, he savedmander Sheng Lingxin, who had just made use of the Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood. For these two matters, he should have been rewarded a great amount of contribution points, but because the other leaders and I hadnt been informed of this mission, it could finally just be ounted as a great achievement. Without receiving extra rewards for his heroism, he only gained the contribution points associated with the enemies he killed on the battlefield. Next, during the joint mission involving your ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads, you should remember Long Haochens and Caiersst attack. At that time, Im afraid you didnt see clearly what kind of enemy they were facing. As themander of this mission, Long Haochen led everyone of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad to confront the following opponents: four Dark Green Dual ded Demons, as well as six eight-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers. Relying on the strength of their team they wiped them out on their own. But in the carriage guarded by these middle-ranked demons, there was something unexpected. After destroying the carriages guards a Bloodthirsty Beta of the seventh step, belonging to the Maxilias n, appeared. It was the true guardian of the Light Elemental Fairy you saw afterwards. With the support of theirpanions, the captain Long Haochen and sub-captain Caier, who made use of their most extraordinary abilities, managed to finally y this Bloodthirsty Beta of the seventh step. But they also ended up gravely wounded. After this mission, their team received an additional reward of 700 contribution points, but only for having killed the Bloodthirsty Beta, they already earned 1,000 contribution points. These are the main sources of their amount of contribution points over 2,000. At the same time, this development led to the fact they didnt participate in the following missions. I believe that Long Haochens performance asmander of this mission could be rated as perfect. For having assumed the most dangerous role, and delivering the Light Elemental Fairy to the Exorcist Mountain Pass military, I believe as their leader that hispanions and him should feel proud of themselves. Gao Yingjies voice was clear and steady. Hearing him, everyone from the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad unconsciously straightened their backs. Thats right, they had nothing to be ashamed of. These 2,000 plus contribution points were something they staked their own lives to bring back. They had a clear conscience towards the other squads. Hearing Gao Yingjies report, Luc Xis expression gradually calmed down. Recalling the scene they witnessed that day, the other members of the nine squads that originally felt somewhat unconvinced didnt utter a single word. During that days battle, they didnt encounter any too powerful opponents, so they didnt expect that the 1st Demon Hunt Squad would actually have faced such a powerful enemy. Gao Yingjies look swept over the other Demon Hunt Squads members, Pertaining to Luc Xis second question, I can only say this. The contribution points of the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad are equally distributed. Each of them has 360 contribution points, and this includes Han Yu, who focuses and healing and support. Thus, if Han Yus contribution points were counted as well, their team would have a total of 2,520 contribution points. Having said this, he bowed one more time to the six auxiliary hall masters before returning to his own seat without prior consultation. After listening to his reply to Luc Xis second point of contestation, even the six secondary hall masters couldnt help but feel moved. An equal division of the teams contribution points. If this appeared in a veteran Demon Hunt Squad, no one would find it strange, but the 1st soldier grade Demon hunt Squad was newly formed and still participating in the teampetition. Including the retainer knight to their equal splitting, was this something anyone would do? Thats right, the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad gained their final position as champion with a very close margin, but as a honest soldier, there was no point Luc Xi could call it into question any longer. A great change appeared in Luc Xis expression. Slowly standing up, he bowed slightly, Thank you for Leader Gaos exnation. We feel convinced of our defeat. I give my congrattions to the 1st Demon Hunt Squad for ending up as the final champion, on behalf of my 4th Demon Hunt Squad. After having stayed calm during all this time of questioning, Long Haochen hurried to stand up. But now he could clearly not be described as calm anymore, Thank you, Captain Luc Xi. We are fellowrades who joined a Demon Hunt Squad, and fellow soldiers,panions. I wish that in the future, I will have the chance to work with you during other joint missions. Coming next, was an awarding ceremony, during which, except from Han Yu, everyone of the 1st soldier grade Demon hunt Squad gained a total of 1,000 contribution points. But afterwards, without need for Long Haochen to say anything, everyone took the initiative to give 142 of these contribution points to Han Yu, following the same rule of equal division as before. So far the contribution points reaped by the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad had already reached an amount of 8,520, which was extremely close to the threshold of the 10,000. One must know that during their journey, Chen Yinger relied on her outstanding innate talent as the owner of the Body of Chaos, and finally broke through to the fifth step. By now, the only things the 1st Demon Hunt Squadcked to boost their grade were contribution points. Holy City covered an enormous space wherein the Demon Hunt Squads mission tower upied an important area. The vicinity was surrounded by a lot of greenery. It was a special and secluded ce. Even the leading characters of the Alliance wouldnt find it easy to enter, if they werent affiliated with it. This was the home of the Demon Hunt Squads. Behind a cluster of trees and bushes, several little two-storied buildings could be found. White-colored and simple of design, each of these little houses had their own banner painted on their doors. Additionally there were some other signs portraying the individuality of their owners. Every two-storied house was encircled by arge garden, which extended over at least 500 square meters. nts were spread all around, and a little road was paved with bluestone. On this beautiful spring day one couldnt help but feel exceptionallyfortable in this ce. Each of the bannered little houses was affiliated with a Demon Hunt Squad, and unless their Demon Hunt Squad was disbanded, this was going to remain their home forever. Therefore, in the heart of the citys central district the house of the Demon God yers, that they had already been using for more than 300 years, could be found. Having seeded to pass their final test, the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads naturally also obtained their own respective houses. At this moment, the seven members of the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad were gathered at the lounge on the first floor of their new home. The little house had two floors. On the first one was a circr lounge of over six meters in diameter, a kitchen with an almost 30 meters wide radius, as well as three bedrooms. On the second floor were five bedrooms, each bedroomprising an individual bathroom, and a 30 square metersrge balcony. Aside from these two floors, the little house also possessed a wide basement with a wine cer exclusive to their team. As some servants were sweeping this ce regrly, the magnificent wine could be admired. Throwing herself onto a soft white sofa made of dermis, Chen Yinger dered in satisfaction, This ce is really sofortable! But Lin Xin reacted bitterly, Yes it can be calledfortable, but its also expensive in terms of contribution points! The first year costs 1,000 contribution points, and after that, it will even cost a thousand more per year. Arent we just being robbed by the Alliance? Gao Yingjie replied with a smile, These contribution points are not for a rent, but are the necessary expenses for your Demon Hunt Squad to be maintained. And it is at the same time a method to incite all the Demon Hunt Squads toplete missions. Otherwise, if the members of a Demon Hunt Squad decided collectively to live afortable life without work, why would the Alliance let them borrow their natural resources for free? At Gao Yingjies side was Shi Xiaoxiao, who sat together with Chen Yinger, looking at everything in this lounge full of envy. Due to her special circumstances, she was also allowed to reside in this area. In the central district, a residence area was assigned to the orphans, whose parents belonged to Demon Hunt Squads but died in battle. Sima Xian said with a sigh, Originally, I thought that 8,000 contribution points were pretty good, but now, I see that it is still far from being enough. Gao Yingjie said, This is thest meeting I will attend with you. My mission is now over, and from today onwards, I will not be your leader anymore. After I leave, I will not have any asion toe to this area of the city. Tell me your thoughts, Haochen. Having been called out by Gao Yingjie, Long Haochen stood up, asking in response, Captain, cant you lead us for a little longer? These days of contact led everyone to hold Gao Yingjie in great esteem, as he spared no efforts to guide them. Because of his presence, the 1st Demon Hunt Squad avoided quite a few detours. Gao Yingjie smiled in reaction, Feasts are notcking under heavens. If I stay with you, I will instead restrict your growth. Tell me your thoughts, I wont stay here for so long. Long Haochen nodded to him, Leader, there are now two possible routes open to us. At the present time, we all already reached the fifth step, and are onlycking about 1,000 contribution points to reach a total amount of 10,000. If we decide to tread this path, our first choice should be to do our utmost to gather the missing contribution points before raising our grade. Lin Xins face looked bitter, But if we do so, we will bepletely penniless. To rise the grade of a Demon Hunt Squad, 10,000 contribution points have to be spent. But aplishing missions is not the only possible option. We can even sell a few pills or other sorts of things. Long Haochen continued, As for the second path, it would be to ept a new mission, making use of the contribution points we already earned to increase our strength. With this option, we could try to make a profit bypleting missions, without being too impatient to rise to the general grade. Gao Yingjie nodded his head, Very good, your thinking is quite profound. Which of these paths would you be prone to choose? Long Haochen replied with a smile, This will depend on thest directions youd give us. What I would like to know is this: if we advance to general grade Demon Hunt Squad, what advantages would we gain? Hearing this question, Gao Yingjie immediatelyughed, I didnt expect that the little youngster you are has such a crafty side. But still, your question is very appropriate. Telling you about it should not be a vition of the rules. Compared to the soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads, the advantages of the general grade Demon Hunt Squads lie in a few aspects. First of all, the missions they can ept be harder, and as the degree of difficulty rises, the contribution points obtained will naturally be higher. The next point is about the bounds of the transaction center. Demon Hunt Squads of general grade can go to the second floor, and there, they will even have the possibility to find equipment of the legendary tier. They will also be able to make exchanges with other Demon Hunt Squads of the same grade. The third point is that after you rise to the rank of general grade Demon Hunt Squad, if you work together with other Demon Hunt Squads of lower grade, your team will obtain a bigger proportion of the contribution points while splitting them up. Of course, the premise is that you agree toplete a mission jointly with Demon Hunt Squads of lower grade. And thest point is also the most important one. After rising to the general grade, the Alliance wont take these 10,000 contribution points for free. They will also give you the privilege of choosing a secret skill per person, aside from the retainer knight, and it is a privilege that you can pass to others. For example, if all of you choose to pass this privilege to Haochen, he will get to choose six secret skills. Of course, theres a restriction on the secret skills you can choose. Some of the special and umon secret skills surpassing the usual ones for your current step wont be included. Chapter 216 - We are the champions (III)

Chapter 216: We are the champions (III)

After Gao Yingjies exnation, everyone only nodded their heads. Now they had some idea about their possibilities. But listening to thest point Gao Yingjie talked about, the seven members of the 1st soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad were instantly lit like magical stones. What was the thing the 1st soldier graded Demon Hunt Squadcked the most? First of all, it was secret skills. Sima Xian had just broken through to the fifth step, and although usual skills could be learned at the Priest Temple of Holy City, the fifth step for a priest included a few important secret offensive skills. If he could learn them, his strength would increase tremendously. At the same time, after the 1st graded Demon Hunt Squad obtained the Soul Linking Chains, a piece of equipment at the epic tier, their deficiency of healing abilities became even more evident, and they would need Han Yu to make up for it. Although as a whole, their team wascking equipment, their shortage of secret skills was even more important. If they couldpensate on this area, they would be able to temporarily ignore the deficiency of their equipment. This was the first benefit their Soul Linking Chains brought them. Long Haochen originally prefered the second path. Investing 8,000 contribution points to increase hispanions strength, and thenpleting missions without sparing any effort sounded to be a good choice. But hearing Gao Yingjies talk, they obviously made up their mind. After a simple discussion, the 1st soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad came to the consensus to first raise the grade of their Demon Hunt Squad! As for the privilege of learning six secret skills, Long Haochen considered the situation as a whole. In the end he decided to give Sima Xian three of them, so as to boost his force, two to Han Yu, and one to Wang Yuanyuan. Long Haochen, Caier, Lin Xin and Chen Yinger were not in real need for secret skills at the moment. This was the good point of their team that put emphasis on individual needs. This time Long Haochen obtained the Light Elemental Fairy, as well as the secret skill Raise Flowers into Trees. Furthermore, he had already passed it on to Caier, so their strength had already increased sufficiently. As for Lin Xin, he didnt need support in the field of defensive fire type magic, while Chen Yinger couldnt learn any secret skills. This repartition was thus the most reasonable one. As for their shortage of 1,500 contribution points, after discussing it and refusing Lin Xins suggestion of selling drugs, they decided to borrow them. It was true that selling their pills could get them contribution points in exchange, but everyone agreed that those pills could very possibly be a life assurance for the team in crucial situations. Therefore, Long Haochens first choice was to go look for the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. They couldnt wait any longer out of fear that they already used their contribution points up. Under circumstances where the upgrade to the general grade was not an option yet, increasing their fighting strength was the most important. Aside from themselves, who ended up as champions, the 4th soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad was the wealthiest other squad they were familiar with. Because of their ranking as second, they had just obtained a reward of 3,000 contribution points. Added up to their original amount, they already possessed over 5,000 contribution points. In another white vi, Long Haochen saw Luc Xi and Li Xin. The fact Long Haochen went to them first was also greatly rted to Li Xins presence. Seeing Long Haochene to see them, Luc Xi and Li Xin were surprised. After learning Long Haochens purpose foring, Luc Xi got sank into deep contemtion, and Li Xin called the other members of their team. 1,500 contribution points were at the present time no small number for these Demon Hunt Squads of soldier grade. Therefore, this request was not something their vice-captain could take the initiative to decide about. Captain Long, please wait. We need to discuss it first. Luc Xi said to Long Haochen. Long Haochen nodded with a smile and did an inviting gesture. Aftering here, he had been frank and direct as he expressed his purpose, without concealing anything. Of course, the 4th soldier graded Demon Hunt Squad wasnt his only option, so if he wasnt sessful there, he could still go look for someone else. Luc Xi led the other five members of his Demon Hunt Squad to aparativelyrge room. Before everyone expresses their respective opinions on this request, I will give a fast analysis. Luc Xi said openly, First, about the 1st Demon Hunt Squads strength. Since they want to apply to be a general graded Demon Hunt Squad, it means that the entirety of their team already reached the fifth step at least. Next, do you remember what Gao Yingjie said? When they joined up, Long Haochen and Caier managed to ughter a Bloodthirsty Beta of the seventh step. Although they also ended up seriously wounded, if we were in their stead, would we have been able to disy this kind of strength? This time, no one should forget that Long Haochen who ultimately took the first position of the individualpetition, also got a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. If our teams were topete with each other, although we are also powerful, we can almost notpare with them at all. Of course, I am not belittling ourselves at all. In terms of potential, we are not necessarily weaker than them. The second point we have to keep in mind is the status of these seven of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. Among them, I am not clear about Long Haochens status, but since he has obtained the protection of the Alliance, one can imagine his importance to the Knight Temple. Caiers great-grandfather is the leader of the Assassin Temple, and from what I know, the mage who cannot attack in their team is the grandson of the Mage Temples auxiliary hall master, Lin Chen. Building a good rtionship with the 1st Demon Hunt Squad would be a very wise choice to us. Now, everyone may express his own point of view. As the sub-captain, Li Xin was naturally the first one to make her speech. After muttering to herself irresolutely, she dered, Long Haochen is my younger brother, so to ensure impartiality, I will abstain from voicing my opinion. For having obtained the second position, the 4th Demon Hunt Squad was obviously quite strong as a team. Within the whole team, only Li Xin and Bai Xiaomo were still at the fourth step, but during these three months of tests, they showed abilitiesparable to the fifth step. In particr, Li Xin, who possessed a Rose Unicorn, was of great importance to the team. The mage of the fifth step of the team, Yi Jun was the next one to speak, Helping the 1st Demon Hunt Squad will indeed improve our rtionship with them greatly. But contribution points are equally important to us. Regardless of whether it is through secret skills or equipment, 1,500 contribution points can increase our strength, and make us morepetitive for the following missions. Luc Xi revealed a smile, and said, What if I told you that I have a method for us to gain corresponding benefits at the same time we hand over these 1,500 contribution points? Long Haochen had not waited for a long time, when Luc Xi, Li Xin, and the others came back. Captain Long, ording to our teams decision, we will lend you these contribution points. Luc Xi said with a smile. Long Haochen was pleased, and hurried to dere, I want to thank everyone from the 4th Demon Hunt Squad on behalf of the 1st Demon Hunt Squad. Please rest at ease: as long as we can make it back alive from the missions, we will definitely return you twice this amount of contribution points together with our thanks. Luc Xi shook his head, and replied, No, theres no need to return the double of this amount to us. But I have a little suggestion, I wish that Captain Long will agree to it. Mh? Long Haochen was shaken, Please speak, Captain Luc. Luc Xi smiled, We wish to share the next mission of your Demon Hunt Squad with you, with the gains splitted in ordance with a 70-30% repartition. Out of these, you would take 70% of it, and we would have the leftover 30%. After being slightly startled, Long Haochens bright golden eyes took on a deep pondering expression, before he revealed a smile, As expected, Captain Luc is quite intelligent. All right, I will stand for the 1st Demon Hunt Squad to give you my word. At the side of Luc Xi, Li Xin wrinkled her brows, Haochen, dont you have to discuss it with your teammates? Long Haochen shook his head with a smile, and replied, Since it is beneficial for both parties, I believe I should be able to convince them. With this unwavering stance, this simple behaviour, Long Haochen already proved his authority and leading power within his team. Luc Xis eyes lit up, and he said, Since this is the case, I will now transmit the contribution points to you. I am waiting for Captain Longs good news. Quickly, these two captains performed the exchange of contribution points and Long Haochen took his leave. The words beneficial for both parties were absolutely not just hot air. Luc Xi was intelligent, but was he not? Since the 4th Demon Hunt Squad could win the second position of the team contest, overtaking Yang Wenzhaos 2nd soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, and Duan Yis 3rd soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, their strength as a whole was already clear. And although Long Haochens group already had the qualifications to promote their Demon Hunt Squad to the general grade, without doubt, they were bound to be the weakest of the Demon Hunt Squads of general grade. Since the missions of general grade were definitely not easy, they would surely face quite a few challenges. If they shared their first mission of general grade with them, with everyone keeping watch and defending each other, it could definitely be regarded as beneficial for both parties. To say nothing of the fact that their 1st Demon Hunt Squad would still reap the gains of seven people. In the same fashion, from the 4th Demon Hunt Squads point of view, Luc Xis choice was the most clever. Missions of general grade and missions of soldier grade were absolutely not of the same difficulty, and the final rewards would definitely be a lot richer. And he believed that Long Haochen would surely find a mission that would be well-rewarded enough for both of them to profit, or even a series of missions. Compared to the little missions of soldier grade they could take, this would be a much more effective shortcut to gain points. Maybe with a single mission, their distance to the general grade would be greatly reduced. Gazing at Long Haochens leaving figure, Luc Xi turned around and sincerely bowed to the other members of his 4th Demon Hunt Squad, Since Long Haochens group could do so, we should also be able to do it. How about we also divide our contribution points evenly, what does everyone think about it? Li Xin was immediately hit by a bright idea, Or what about unifying our contribution points as a whole? The ones in need would be the ones to take them! The others eyes immediately lit up. Luc Xi started, This is a good idea. I have another suggestion. Li Xin, from today onwards, you will temporarily rece me as the captain. Li Xin nked out, but quickly understood what he meant by that. And Luc Xi hurried to dissolve her doubts, Dont misunderstand, I dont want to make use of the rtionship between Long Haochen and yourself. I just feel that it will be easier for the two of you tomunicate, as brother and sister, and also as fellow knights. This would make it easier to our both teams. Chapter 217 - We are the champions (IV)

Chapter 217: We are the champions (IV)

After muttering to herself irresolutely and under the attentive watch of herpanions, Li Xin calmly nodded. Three dayster, on the second floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower. In terms of size, this floor was as wide as the first floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower, and the design almost identical: it was a three hundred square meters wide hall, surrounded by six lofty square counters, which stood for each of the six different kinds of missions. They were organized ording to the following order: Extermination Missions, Searching Missions, Exploring Missions, Intelligence Missions, War Missions and Mixed Missions. This was the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower, and thus, almost all the missions were directed against demons. Only a few special missions, forming a small minority, were unrted to the demons. Relying on their newly acquired general grade tile,posed of 5% mythril, Long Haochen and his teammates headed to the second floor of the mission tower. This ce lookedpletely the same as the first floor, with exactly the sameyout. But just the day before, after they had raised their rank to the general grade, they had immediately hurried to the transaction center on the second floor, where they had only stayed for ten minutes before leaving in total shock. There were so many good things that made their mouths water. But by now, they were most likely the poorest Demon Hunt Squad at the general grade Even after adding up all their contribution points, the seven of them barely reached the two digits. After such a shock, Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu, and Sima Xian had gone to im the secret skills they had already picked in advance, and this morning, the seven of them hurried to choose a mission to pick. Gaining contribution points was equivalent to boosting their strength! On the second floor of the business center, they had even seen a type of ultra powerful pill, called Holy Spirit Pill. Anyone, regardless of his vocation, would only be able to take a single Holy Spirit Pill in his entire life, making him gain a total of 1,000 spiritual energy levels at once, under the premise that it wasnt used to break through a bottleneck. That was a total of 1,000 levels As a matter of fact, to Long Haochens group, the amount of contribution points required to buy this pill was astronomical. A single one cost a total of 10,000 contribution points, and its price would be a lot higher if not for the fact its use couldnt be repeated. Seeing this pill, Lin Xins eyes immediately turned blue. This self-trained genius in the field of alchemy had seen the recipe of this Holy Spirit Pill in the past. He remembered vaguely that one of the materials required to make this pill came from a magical beast of the eighth step. But that recipe he had seen long ago was in a shattered state. If the seven of them wanted to take one Holy Spirit Pill per person, they would need an amount of 70,000 contribution points! And this was after omitting the innumerable iparable pieces of equipment they were faced with. At the core of this Demon Hunt Squad transaction center, money didnt have any value, and even the vendor stalls set up by other Demon Hunt Squads, would only ept contribution points as currency. Lets disperse and search for a mission that would be suited to us, everyone. We can also aim for a little higher level of difficulty, since we are going to do this mission jointly with the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. Under Long Haochens lead, these seven formed six groups. Heading to different counters, they looked at the missions carefully. At the back of each counter was an enormous magical crystal board with a list of advertised missions. And these lists contained the name of the missions and their rewards. But for a single detailed inspection, they would need to pay up some contribution points. For Demon Hunt Squads at the soldier grade, the fee was of a single contribution point, but at the general grade, they had to pay ten contribution points to inspect the details of a single mission. Long Haochens group only possessed a total of 20 contribution points, which meant that they could only examine two mission. Long Haochen pulled Caiers little hand, heading to the mission counter in front of them to examine the corresponding magical crystal board. Caier didnt hold her bamboo cane anymore. The fact the trials of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara had beenpleted also implied that she had obtained the real power of this spiritual stove. Although she still had to temporarily lose a sense, she could choose it herself. For instance, she currently chose to renounce her sense of smell. As Long Haochen was looking assiduously at the mission list, Caier asionally sneaked a nce at him. Ever since she recovered her eyesight, she couldnt help but asionally stare at him. It was just as if no matter how long she watched him, it still would still not be enough. He had already changed a lot since the time they were children. From a child, he had be a youth, but he was not any less handsome than before. Induced by the increase of his cultivation, his handsome face was filled with holy aura and looked even more attractive. It had such allure that this pure aura seemed to have a purifying effect. That was the Scion of Light! Eh! Long Haochen was suddenly surprised, awaking Caier from her revery. She immediately followed his look. With a single nce, Caier immediately discovered what inspired Long Haochens surprise. The missions Demon Hunt Squads of general grade could take were indeed different. Below the general grade, the overwhelming majority of soldier grade missions were rewarded with an amount between 1,000 and 3,000 contribution points. Their reward was limited to the extent that some were even only rewarded with a few hundreds of points. But at the general grade, no missions were rewarded less than 3,000 contribution points. Among the numerous assignments, Long Haochen seemed to have noticed a particrly richly rewarded one, with the name Exploring the Deste Whistling Cavern. This mission was rewarded with 20,000 contribution points, and its degree of danger was: unknown What a great reward! Long Haochen felt his heartbeat quickening. Although he could be considered calm among the people of the same age, he was still a youth of a little more than a dozen year-old, and was still in some regard like a newborn calf that did not fear tigers. Gao Yingjie had told him that generally speaking, missions with an unknown degree of danger would quickly get taken, because whenpleting them, the odds of encountering great danger were generally pretty low. But usually, the rewards for such missions would not not be so high. Yet, this mission was the most richly rewarded one they could see! A whole 20,000 points! Even if they had to hand one third of it to the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, they would still earn a reward of 14,000 contribution points, which would be of extreme benefit to their team. Furthermore, all the items they would pick up would be received by their Demon Hunt Squads! Calling hisrades to join him with hurry, he pointed this mission for them to see it. Sima Xian dered without the slightest hesitation, Boss, what are you still hesitating for? Check the location of this mission, we have after all 20 contribution points, so we can examine a total of two missions. Since such high rewardse along with an unknown degree of danger, I reckon that the ce should be located in the depths of the demon races territory. Hearing Sima Xians talk, everyones eyes lit up. If they had to enter deeply into the demon territory, it wouldnt be strange for them to get such rewards. Long Haochen nodded in response, replying, Okay, then lets look at this missions details. Arriving in front of the counter, they handed over the fee of ten contribution points to examine it. Quickly this missionsplete information appeared before the 1st Demon Hunt Squad of soldier grade. The Deste Whistling Cavern is located in the center of the demon territory. Its exploration requires to prate a total of 1,150 km deep into the demon territory, passing through four demon provinces. ording to our intelligence, hissing sounds will asionally be heard from the Deste Whistling Cavern, but reportedly, a sudden geological change urred there a few months ago, and has very likely exposed some rare gems. If you manage to explore the cavern entirely, you will get an extra reward of contribution points depending on the value of the gems you will bring back. The Deste Whistling Cavern is currently a ce of unknown danger. Nevertheless, it is still needed to enter deeply into the demon territory, which bears a high possibility of encountering demon scouts on the way. The team that epts this mission has to be extremely prudent. Then, the Deste Whistling Caverns precise location was recorded on a map. Having read those informationpletely, everyone of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad knitted their brows in silence. General grade 21st, this was their new identification. And it also implied that among all the Demon Hunt Squads, there were currently a total of twenty-one at the general grade. Long Haochen asked, We will have to prate 1,150 km deep in the demon territory. This surely wont be easy, what do you think of this mission? Wang Yuanyuan remarked, This mission is going to be very hard, but we can be sure that as long as we manage toplete it, the benefits should be quite significant to us. A moment ago, I saw another mission with a reward of 20,000 contribution points. Its on the side of the extermination missions, how aboutparing them? Actually, Long Haochens group didnt notice it because of their excitement due toing to this second floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Center for the first time, but their thirst for contribution points was really excessive. Quickly, their ten remaining contribution points were used to inspect this ughter mission. The goal of this mission was to kill ten middle ranked demons of the seventh step. Without need to look at its name, they decided to renounce it. At that time, it was because of their extreme luck that they managed to kill the Bloodthirsty Beta. And this had only been possible because Haoyues sneak attack seeded, greatly reducing the Bloodthirsty Betas strength. But luck couldnt stay on their side forever, to say nothing that this time it would be a count of ten demons. With their current strength, choosing this mission would only be akin to throwing away their lives, and more importantly, they still had first to find these formidable demons. At this point, they were already left without other choices, because they did not have any contribution points left to examine different missions. A Demon Hunt Squad with 0 contribution points was born. The seven members of the newly born 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad looked at each other in dismay, and in the end, everyone made a firm resolution. To go for it! If it really proved to be impossible, they would at worst abandon this mission. Anyway, giving up a mission wouldnt deduct any contribution points from their side. If the need arose, they would simply borrow some more contribution points to pick another mission. And more importantly, this was a joint mission with the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. With 13 people participating in it, they really had their chances. In the end, Long Haochen returned once again to the front of that counter disying the exploration missions, escorted by hispanions.

Chapter 218: Yue Ye1 Merchant Group (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Hello, we decided to ept the exploration mission Exploring the Deste Whistling Cavern. Long Haochen said to the man seated behind the counter. The look this Demon Hunt Squad serviceman gave Long Haochen was full of doubts, while he secretly tried to hide his astonishment. To be able toe to this floor, they had to be a Demon Hunt Squad of general grade, but these children were just too young! They were surely less than 20 years-old, and members of Demon Hunt Squads aged 20 or less were extremely rare. Moreover, the one who looked like he was the captain was even younger than hispanions. Nheless, since they were able toe to this ce, there was clearly no need to call their status into question. Okay. Please disy your official captain tile. Long Haochen took his official te out and delivered it, registering his name to the staff member. As the staff member registered him, the following information appeared: The 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad will ept the exploration mission Exploring the Deste Whistling Cavern. Mission reward, 20,000 contribution points. No penalty for the failure of the mission. 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, number of missionspleted Reading this number, this staff members voice suddenly faltered. Lifting up his head in shock, he looked at Long Haochen, Number of missionspleted, 0? How How is that possible? Long Haochen politely replied, We are a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad of this years Demon Hunt Squad Competition. Because everyone in our team has already reached the fifth step, and we have also obtained enough contribution points during the teampetition, we were able to promote our grade yesterday. This is the reason as for why we have neverpleted missions on our own before. So it was actually a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad? The staff member warned them with good intentions, This mission will be quite challenging, you will have to enter over 1000 km deep into the demon territory. On the way, you will have to cross four demon provinces, and although the optimum itinerary is indicated on the map, you will have great odds to run into demon troops. The degree of danger is thus quite important. Furthermore, the Deste Whistling Cavern is a ce of unknown danger. Although the reward is quite generous, this mission wont be easy to aplish. Are you really sure you want to ept this mission? Long Haochen replied with a smile, Thats right, we are certain. Thank you for the warning, we will be careful. Until the mission ispleted, we will work together with another Demon Hunt Squad. With two teams acting as one, although the danger still exists, we should still have good chances to seed. The staff member opened his eyes wide, Since this is the case, it should be okay. But you have to bear in mind that to a Demon Hunt Squad, the most important point is self-preservation. Dont take too many risks for the sake of the contribution points. Let me take care of the formalities for you. Thinking that Long Haochens group was going to do this mission jointly with another general grade Demon Hunt Squad, he didnt question their choice any more. The staff members that had the qualifications to work in the Mission Tower were all extremely conscientious. If they believed that a team that wanted to ept a certain mission would be unable toplete it sessfully, they could even refuse to let them ept it. This was after all rted to the safety of the Demon Hunt Squads. Having epted the exploration mission, they also received the mission rted goods, a Recording Gem. This was a small gem with a recording function: after being activated with spiritual energy, it would record the surrounding images in its memory. This Recording Gem was of significant worth: a single of them had a value of 1,000 contribution points. For this Exploration Mission, it would be lent to them for free, but if they lost it, they would have topensate for it. At the time the procedures were finished, Long Haochens group left the Demon Hunt Squad Mission Tower in excitement. This was their very first mission. As for their preparations before leaving, they did them as fast as possible. Their prize were after all 20,000 contribution points! Five dayster. Second floor of the Demon Hunts Mission Tower. A grizzled haired old man came hastily to the exploration mission counter. Standing there was the same staff member who interacted with Long Haochen. Attendant Li Jing, are youing for another batch of new missions? The middle-aged man standing behind the counter was clearly quite familiar with him. He was one of the attendants working in the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower and was in charge of releasing the missions. And this time, Li Jing clearly looked quite anxious. Thats not the case, I came to cancel a mission. Please cancel the mission Exploring the Deste Whistling Cavern that was distributed one week ago. ording to the newest information, Im afraid that magical beasts of the eighth or the ninth step would very likely reside in the Deste Whistling Cavern. It is even possible that some historical remains of ancient times exist there. This increases the missions level of difficulty enormously. The rewards for this Exploration Mission have been increase to 200,000 contribution points, and it will bebeled as a king grade mission. What? The middle-aged man was shocked, A king grade mission? ording to the ranking of the Demon Hunt Squads, after the soldier grade came the general grade, followed by themander grade, and then, the king grade. In fact, a king grade mission could already be considered to be a high-ranking mission. As the modification of a mission with an increase of two grades atop of a tenfold increase of rewards, this was an extremely rarely seen situation. Li Jing smiled bitterly, The Deste Whistling Cavern has originally been discovered by amander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Because they had justpleted another mission at that time, two of their members were seriously injured, so they didnt have the asion to explore it. They just determined the situation in this cavern with some simple checks. But recently, another general grade Demon Hunt Squad has brought more urate information back. Powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy were found inside of the cavern, very possibly linked to a formidable magical beast. Furthermore, the demon race has also already dispatched some troops to start exploring it. This is why the degree of difficulty has suddenly been increased to the king grade. If a king grade Demon Hunt Squad handles it, this exploration shouldnt be too problematic to carry out. The middle-aged man seated behind the mission counter revealed a bitter smile too, But this mission has already been epted. What? epted? Li Jing was shocked, A general grade Demon Hunt Squad epted it? But its a mission that requires to enter more than 1,000 km deep into the demon territory, and youre telling me it has been epted a few days after the release, just like that? I remember it! At that time, they said they would handle this mission jointly with another Demon Hunt Squad, which is why I let them ept it. What should we do now? Im afraid they already set out. Li Jings expression immediately became uglier. To the Alliance, any of the Demon Hunt Squads were most important resources, We wont make it in time even if we chase after them now. As a general grade Demon Hunt Squad, they should at least know how to preserve themselves. After sensing something wrong, they should return. Whats more, its a cooperation of two teams. I hope they will realize the danger in time and escape with their tails between their legs. Since it was our mistake, we will grant them 10,000 contribution points as reward at the time they return. The middle-aged man seated behind the counter still felt hesitant. Long Haochens team was after all a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad he didnt know about, but in his opinion, since they were apanied by another general grade Demon Hunt Squad, they should sense the fluctuation of internal spiritual energy present in the Deste Whistling Cavern and retreat after feeling the danger. Long Haochens group had indeed already departed. After epting this mission, he immediately shared its contents with the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, and after two days of preparations, they swiftly left Holy City, following the map they were given. Long Haochen felt some regret about the fact that his teacher Ye Hua was presently undergoing closed door cultivation, and couldnt see them for this reason. ording to Han Qian, Ye Huas training speed was extraordinarily quick and violent, just like a volcano that erupted suddenly after having been stifled for some time. If Shengmo Dalu could be said to be square-shaped, the Alliance Temple would control the square formed at the northwests angle while the other ? could be said to be controlled by the demon race. After entering the dark age, the demon territory had been divided into 24 provinces, with a demon god overseeing each of them. The central part of the demon territory was known as the central province, as well as the biggest out of the 24, where the Demon God Emperors imperial pce was located. The 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad travelled day and night apanied by the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, and after only eight days of travel, they reached the southwest border of the Temple Alliance. Long Haochen and Caier were seated on Haoyues back, Li Xin was carried by her Rose Unicorn, and the others rode fine horses. From the eight days of uninterrupted journey, they were already somewhat worn-out. The day the almighty hero Chen Zidian left, Haoyue awoke, and looked now even more robust. His height already exceeded 5 meters, his width was close to 2 meters, and his sharp look gave an especially strong and domineering impression. After three months time, he seemed to have alreadypleted another evolution, rising from the middle-rank of the sixth step to the high-rank of the sixth step. This progress speed could be said to be unprecedented for any magical beast. Long Haochen had Haoyue stop. Gazing at a city that looked quite important, he took his map out of the forget-me-not ring. Ahead should be Starseeker City. After crossing 150 km, we should reach the fort serving as headquarters of the Warrior Temple at the southeast. Now, how about we get to the Starseeker City and rest for a while, before heading to the fort? This ce was already under the influence of the Warrior Temple, so at that time, it was natural that he looked at Wang Yuanyuan as he asked this question. Wang Yuanyuan shook her head, I have no objections. Lets just head to this Starseeker City to rest then. At this point, a voice burst out from the side of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. At the time Long Haochen turned around to the side, he remarked that the one who talked was precisely the warrior of the fifth step of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, Dian Yan, who didnt manage to reach the top 4. Li Xin wrinkled her brows, looking at Dian Yan, asking him, Do you have any suggestion, brother Yan? She addressed him directly by his name, clearly feeling some dissatisfaction. At this moment, their soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad was being temporarily led by Long Haochen. And although Li Xin became the momentary leader of their 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, she requested herrades to act ording to Long Haochens orders. A team could only have a single leader, otherwise, conflicts would be very likely to appear. Dian Yan replied, If we stop at Starseeker City, maybe we will be able to enter the demon territory in discretion. Mh? Brother Dian, please tell us more about it. Long Haochen requested, full of interest. Dian Yan said, In the cities located at the borders of our Alliance, there are some groups of merchants known as frence merchants. These merchants are carrying out shady business between our human side and the demon side. But I can only say that they are the origin of many of our ressources. And it applies for both humans and demons. 1. this name can be literally tranted as Moon Night Chapter 219 - Yue Ye Merchant Group (II)

Chapter 219: Yue Ye Merchant Group (II)

For instance, a great part of the goods sold in the auction houses of our Temple Alliance,es from the frence merchants. And many of the things they bring in stem from the demon side. A lot of our natural resources are sold at their side in the same fashion. Thus, these frence merchants are bustling in the space between the humans and the demons side,ing in and out, without anyone bothering about their existence. Of course, it is not that simple to be a Frence Merchant. And this profession is not only limited to humans, it is even upied by some demons of high rank. Hearing this exnation, Long Haochen immediately understood what he meant, So brother Dian Yan, what you mean is that we should think of a way to get in touch with these frence merchants, trying to sneak into their group to prate in the demon territory. Dian Yan nodded and replied, The frence merchants will nevere to the forts close to the frontier, because it isnt a safe ce for them. I grew up in Starseeker City. Therefore, I can ascertain that there are frence merchants there. Since we want to prate deeply in the central area of the demon territory, we will have to pass through their provinces. ughtering our way to pass through isnt realistic. We can be sure that near the central region, the probing will be tighter. They wont miss our group of a dozen so easily. Long Haochen slightly leaned forward, Many thanks for your warning, brother Dian. Just like you said, we should have some rest at Starseeker City, to replenish our food and water supply, and to get in contact with the frence merchants. Standing at Dian Yans side, Luc Xi revealed a smile and secretly did a thumbs up. After a journey of eight days, these two Demon Hunt Squads could be considered familiar with each other, but despite the time they spent together, the two teams were still somewhat reserved towards each other, there were still differences of opinion. Dian Yans previous suggestion was undoubtedly meant to show them that they werent useless to the 21st Demon Hunt Squad. While giving the 4th Demon Hunt Squad some face, it was an important help for this operation. Pulling Caiers hand, Long Haochen jumped down from Haoyues back, Since we are going to look for the frence merchants help, we should carefully conceal our identities. Shift gears everyone, and change into some in and simple clothes. Then well enter the city. Li Xin inquired, Then, what will you do about our mounts? 11 fine horses were quite valuable, so as a knight, she naturally felt sorry for this loss. Dian Yan replied with a smile, Let me handle it. Enter the city first, I will be looking for youter. Theres a pretty good inn located in the south of the city. There we will meet. The 13 youths changed clothes. After the mounts were left to Dian Yan, the others entered the city discretely. Long Haochens carefulness was justified: since there were frence merchants in the city, it was pretty obvious that some of them would belong to the demon side. The more careful they were, the safer their trip would be. Dian Yan handled everything even better than Long Haochen imagined. After less than one hour passed since they entered the medium-sized hotel, Dian Yan was back, apanied by someone else. It was a tall and imposing elder. As the others had already returned to their own rooms to get some rest, Dian Yan directly led this old man to Long Haochens and Caiers room. Although Long Haochen and Caier were still not too intimate with each other, the two of them didnt fear arousing suspicion, and directly shared a room. Long Haochen would never forget the little home they built in their living quarters in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, but of course, even though they lived in the same room, they were cultivating on their own during the majority of the nighttime. Younger brother Long, this person is my brother-inw Dian Xuan, manager of the Yue Ye Merchant Groups guard. Hearing that we were interested in a well paid work, he came in person to meet us. As he spoke, Dian Yan gave Long Haochen a meaningful nce. Long Haochen bowed very politely to this elderly man and said, Hello. Seeing that Long Haochen and Caier were already so good-looking despite their young age, Dian Xian couldnt help but feel startled, nodding to them and asking, I heard that you were a group of a little more than a dozen people? Thats right. Counting in Dian Yan, we are a total of thirteen people: eight men and five women. Please take care of us. Long Haochen was handsome in appearance, and still quite young. At this moment he showed a respectful appearance, faint traces of simple and honest shyness could be found. Let alone Dian Xuan, even Dian Yan looked puzzled, almost thinking out loud,?Is this guy really the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad? Dian Xuan dered in a deep tone, Our merchant group needs some manpower to take care of odd jobs. You will be in charge of looking after the trucks, getting two silver coins per day. If there is no mishap, every one of you will get another gold coin after returning. How about it? Long Haochen had an extremely happy expression, That would be very good. Thank you mister manager. Having said this, he bowed once again to Dian Xuan. A faint radiance shed through Dian Xuans eye, as he gave an indifferent reply, Okay, lets do it like this then. Our merchant group will set off three days from now. Dian Yan knows about the meeting ce, and will lead you there when the timees. Dian Yan,e with, you can take yourpanions new clothes to them. Yes. Dian Yan gave a simple reply and after giving Long Haochen a straight look, he turned around, following Dian Xuan out. Leading Caier along, Long Haochen followed them to see them off at the exit, before returning to their room. Haochen, wasnt that too sloppy? Closing the door, Caier asked Long Haochen in a low voice. Her personality was a lot gentler than before, on the premise that she wasnt on duty. Seeing Caiers twinkling eyes, Long Haochen held her in his embrace, her bodys soft fragrance giving him a feeling of loving her too much to let her go. This Manager Dian is probably aware of the fact that we are a group of special people. We were just putting on a y with each other just now. Long Haochen replied with a smile. Caier started, lifting up her head previously leant against his chest, Does he know about our identity? And we just met him for the first time today, should we really trust him? Long Haochen revealed a faint smile, replying It is exactly for this reason that he is worth trusting. You should know that each of the official Demon Hunt Squads members are tightly investigated. Thats to say that theres no doubt on Dian Yans identity. I may feel skeptical towards this Manager Dian, but I cannot doubt Dian Yan. Although Dian Yan didnt say it out clearly, he let us know that this is not the first time at all for Demon Hunt Squads to enter the demon territory through frence merchants. In the same way, even the demon side will dispatch spies to the Temple Alliance, concealing their identity. What we dont know is just how they are concealed. I believe that Dian Yan wouldnt make our identity clear to Manager Dian, and thetter shouldnt have asked him about it. These are important unwritten rules. As for what we will do after getting to the demons side, this is unrted to them. Caier felt a bit puzzled, I still dont really understand. Could it be that this Yue Ye Merchant Group doesnt fear we may give them some inconveniences? Long Haochen shook his head, What kind of inconvenience? Since they can employ a group of a dozen like us to do odd jobs, this merchant groups scale is surely not small. Since the frence merchants were able to keep existing, they should naturally have their own means. Lets just wait, I reckon that Dian Yan will exin us everything aftering back. Caier looked at his pure smile, thinking to herself,?For him to actually be so smart although hes still only a little more than fifteen years old could this being from the influence of his physique as the Scion of Light? From the time she met Long Haochen up until now, half a year had not passed yet, but Caier could clearly feel Long Haochens astonishing speed of change. It wasnt only about his strength, but his attitude and personality traits were also changing. In particr, after this period of tests, he gained another special quality. It was a unique charm that didnt only attract the surrounding people, but also made them feel his calm and wiseness. It was just as if he was born to be a leader. At least within the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, no one paid any attention to his age. Just as Long Haochen said, a short timeter, Dian Yan returned and sounded his rooms bell. Long Haochen immediately let him enter. Captain Long, everything that happened just now was a bit sudden. Let me give you a detailed introduction about the Yue Ye Merchant Groups situation. The Yue Ye Merchant Group, one of the biggest groups of frence merchants, is not only limited to humans: high level demons also participate in it. When hiring staff, their requirements arent high at all, and they will not carefully examine their workers identity. This is one of the frence merchants unwritten rules. But their precondition is that outside from their core members, their recruits mustnt exceed the sixth step of cultivation. This is the main reason why they can go back and forth from the humans to the demons worlds. Every time they will cross the border, the two sides will check this carefully. If a powerhouse of the sixth step or above is discovered attempting to slip through among them, the whole group will immediately be arrested. But both of our teams dont have any powerhouse of the sixth step, which is why I suggested to enter the demon territory through the frence merchants. Long Haochen scratched his chin, asking, Brother Dian, why didnt you tell us about that in detail back then, outside of the city? Dian Yan was slightly startled, but quickly recovered his senses, At that time I forgot about it. After all, the matter had yet to be carried on. But now that we have the help of a reliable merchant group, it is only natural that I told you about the situation, Captain Long. Long Haochen replied, Thanks a lot, brother Dian. Lets make our preparations then, before we leave together when the timees. Dian Yan didnt stay any longer, turning around after giving Long Haochen ast deep nce. But he didnt know that after he turned around, Long Haochen was gazing at him with a reserved look. Having left Long Haochens room, Dian Yan didnt return to his room to rest, but entered Luc Xis room. Luc Xi was seated there, drinking some water, but as he saw hime in, he pointed him to sit on the sofa, Have a seat and tell me about it. How did it go? Dian Yan replied, Everything is settled. My brother-inws merchant group happened to head to the central province of the demon territory. Following them should spare us a lot of trouble. The merchant group will have to stay at the central province for a month, to sell and buy goods. When the timees, we will also be able to follow the merchant group in returning, reducing the risks of this mission to the utmost. What was Long Haochens reaction? Luc Xis eyes glinted, and in response, Dian Yans eyes disyed some disdain, Hes nothing more than an unwary little kid. How old is he? What if his individual strength is great? Carrying out missions does not only depend on ones strength. But he can be considered to go along with our n. With a meaningful nce Luc Xi dered to him, It is not bad to gradually affect Long Haochens authority within the team, but we cannot go against each other. We are after all in a rtionship of cooperation. Our final objective is to fight to make our team get the best benefit possible. Be more careful about that. Chapter 220 - Yue Ye Merchant Group (III) Chapter 220: Yue Ye Merchant Group (III) Trantor:GravityTalesEditor:GravityTales Dian Yan nodded, Dont worry. Even if I cannot deal with this little kid, I will not act recklessly. In a very short time, I will make him lose all credibility, forcing him to yield. And then, the distribution of profits will naturally change ordingly. Three dayster Yue Ye, the Starseeker Citys biggest caravan, set off from the south gate of the city. The Yue Ye Caravan was indeed worthy of being called one of the biggest group of frence merchants. At this moment, they actually transported goods in 200 enormous carriages, dispatching troops close to 2,000 people. This was also the reason why Dian Xuan agreed so easily to recruit Long Haochens group. Although they were only in charge of escorting the caravan, Long Haochens group was also d in twoyers ofmoners clothing. All of them wore cotton-padded clothes under a thick coat. It was already early winter, and Starsea City was located near the center of the continent. Although it wasnt as cold as it was in the south, the route to the demon territory was long and difficult, and they wouldnt be able to keep travelling if their clothes were not warm enough. The tasks assigned to these thirteen members of the two Demon Hunt Squads were simple: transporting goods and looking after the transportation. They werent needed to drive a carriage since there were already specialized drivers. Each of the carriages was pulled by four big and tall horses, and even though the caravan wasprised of many people, their coordination was perfect. After exiting of the Starseeker City to the south, they even managed to enter the fort of the southeast openly, resting and reorganizing there for a short time. This could make one wonder what means the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce used. The next evening, they left the fort, heading directly in the direction of the demon territory. At this point Long Haochens group couldnt help but be greatly astonished, feeling great curiosity about these frence merchants. It was a quiet night scene; the caravans torches were lit, looking like a long line extending in wilderness. The 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads mage, Feng Yijun, just blurted out this question, How do you think that the Yue Ye Merchants managed to pass from the fort of the southeast? It looks like passing with the help of the merchant group was the best path we could take. It will spare us from a lot of trouble. Luc Xi revealed an indifferent smile, and replied, unruffled, It is naturally aboutmon interest. Even if the rtionship between humans and demons was even worse, the Yue Ye Merchants business can only be of great benefit to humanity. For this reason, the Alliance will naturally ignore their movement. If my guess isnt wrong, this merchant group will benefit from the same treatment on the demon side. As he said so, he seemed to nce consciously at the people from the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, looking in particr for Long Haochens reaction. Even d in simplemoner attire, Long Haochens handsome appearance was still dazzling. Caiers face was still hidden behind a ck veil. Hearing Luc Xis words, Long Haochen revealed a faint smile, Captain Luc Xi is right. Luc Xi chuckled gently, Im afraid that I am the oldest here, so I have naturally some more experience. Despite the fact that his words were light, perspicacious people could still understand their profound meaning. But Luc Xi was disappointed about the fact that it appeared as though no one in the 21st Demon Hunt Squad seemed to pay attention to his words. Only Long Haochen nodded to him, but afterwards, at his side, Caier suddenly turned her head and gave him a nce. As sharp as a de, her look instantly caused Luc Xi to shiver unintentionally. A chilling directly from the depths of his heart was transmitted to the rest of his body. _What a powerful killing intent!_ In his shivering state, Luc Xi kept silent. In their 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, Dian Yan and Yijun had an excellent rtionship with Luc Xi. Because this formidable assassin coldness drew close to his side, he could only shut his mouth. The reason was simple, it was Caiers presence. As for Bai Xiaomo, because during the three months of test, she had been once saved by Li Xin, and because they were both girls, the two of them were rtively close. Luc Xis n was as follows: first they wouldplete a mission with rtively high profits apanied by Long Haochens squad. Next, he would observe any negligent decisions made by Long Haochen, and try to make them affect the rtions within Long Haochens group. And his hidden hope was to take the teams leading position. Of course, the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad was only thinking of their own teams benefit, under the premise that they wouldplete the mission sessfully. In the middle of the caravan, a luxurious carriage was pulled by eight fine horses. This carriage looked special because it was not only wider, but quite more luxurious than the others. The carriage was adorned with eight enormous wheels, each pair being connected. The wheels came with supporting poles, using huge springs to lessen the shaking. And this was just the carriages alternate means of transport. From the bottom of the carriage, a dim green light was faintly released. It was impressively the Float Technique. And this was not pure magic, but an effect of solidification at the bottom of the carriage. Thats to say that this carriage was in itself an enormous piece of magical equipment. Supporting such a big carriage with float was not something one or two mere mages using Float could aplish. It came along with an uninterrupted consumption of magical crystals. Of course, its benefits were obvious: even on the uneven grounds found in wilderness, this carriage would advance just like on t ground, without the slightest vibration. In the carriage were tables, chairs, and even a wide andfortable couch. And on this couchy two youngdies, asionally eating longan fruits. Compared to the cold outside, the carriage was as warm as spring, and the twodies lying down on the couch were d in simple long skirts. Thedy on the left was d in a white long skirt, simple yet elegant, giving her a noble appearance. Her pure and tender face looked cute. Her nose was as beautiful as jasper, and her most striking trait was her pair of ck eyes, posing a contrast to the rest of her features. The seconddy lying on the couch was d in a red long skirt, looking more fiery inparison with the otherdys white skirt. As her head was resting against a soft cushion, she appeared to have exaggerated C cup breasts. The most attractive thing was that this devilish figure was matched with an extremely pure, and young-looking face. Apletely childish face Sis Yue, we should be able to take our devil eyes off now. These things are really ufortable. The girl wearing the red skirt, said with a protesting tone. The girl in the white skirt spoke back with a smile, Take it off then. We have already left the human territory anyway. As she said so, she lifted her hand, and next, those ck eyes suddenly changed color, turning into a touching purple color. This purple seemed pure and noble,ing with the enticement of a witch. And the pure and holy aura in her body seemed to merge with another particr type of aura. The youngdy in red skirt did the same motion, and in the next instant, her ck pupils became pink, giving her angelic face a pretty and flirtatious feel. Sis Yue, these goods will definitely give us good profit. The youngdy d in red said with augh. The girl d in white sighed lightly, Stop dreaming, how could it be so easy? This times goods are mainly spices, oil, cotton clothes, metal, humans silk, rare types of woods and so on. And the most important is therge quantity of food. But the other vehicles are just a facade: the real stuff is in here. As she said so, she showed the ruby-colored ring on her right hand. Thedy in red asked, puzzled, Isnt it a very good thing to our demons side? Isnt it food we arecking the most Thedy in white replied, It is precisely for that reason that it is inconvenient. This shortage does not only exist in one or two ces. These things are going to be in demand to any of the tribes. Do you believe that they will simply behave themselves and let us transport these things to the central province? His Majesty the Demon God Emperor wont care about these lowly matters. Im afraid that this trip will not be so peaceful. And the most troublesome is that we cannot employ guards at the sixth step or above. The youngdy in the red skirt looked rmed, and asked, Sis Yue, do you think some groups will try to plunder us? Would they dare!? Sis Yue, you are the princess of the Yue demon n, this generations Yue Ye Sorceress, bearing the name of Yue Ye! Wont they fear the retaliation of the Yue n? The youngdy d in the white skirt revealed a faint smile, My foolish younger sister, do you think our kind would worry about the same things as humans? Without enough food, their nsmen will just starve to death! Inparison, the retaliation of our Yue n wont be such an immediate threat. The offensive of this fall didnt go so smoothly, and the shortage of food is critical. Under such circumstances, my caravan just looks like a gold mine. Let alone I, Yue Ye, even if you tell them your identity as Leng Xiao, they will still not pay much attention to it. The girl d in red, Leng Xiao, pouted her lips and asked, What should we do then? Dont tell me we should really let them rob us? Yue Yes eyes shed, as she gave the reply, No way wed let them go off so easily. I already notified our nsmen toe to our rescue. In at most five days, my people will join us. Now, I just hope that the ns at the frontier wont react too fast. Leng Xiao asked, puzzled, Then, why didnt we wait a few more days before setting off? Yue Ye replied with a smile, The border zone is monitored as tightly on the humans side. If we let humans see our massive demon reinforcement closing in from the other side, what will they think about it? Our status as merchants has been carefully nurtured for a long time. Leng Xiao smiled happily and replied, Sis Yue, it looks like I was right to choose to apany you to get some experience. I indeed learned quite a few things. Yue Yes smile vanished suddenly, and she suddenly came back to a seating posture, They are alreadying! Leng Xiao was still lying down, but her expression changed rapidly, How could they be so fast? Is it possible that they made their preparations to ambush us long ago? Yue Yes eyes shed with coldness, The only exnation would be that theres a traitor in the chamber ofmerce. Dont leave the carriage, I will handle it by myself. As she said, so, her figure shed, leaving the carriage. At this moment, Long Hoachen, who was advancing in queue along with the others, suddenly lifted his head, looking towards the night sky in a particr direction. Enemies! Make your preparations, everyone. Try as far as possible to refrain from using your specific abilities. Dont use priest healing abilities unless it is absolutely essential. And no one is to let his spiritual energy flow out. We will defend ourselves by relying on the carriages. This series of orders were immediately transmitted to the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads. Chapter 221 - Desperate Straits! Forbidden Spell! (I)

Chapter 221: Desperate Straits! Forbidden Spell! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales From which side are there enemiesing? Hearing Long Haochens orders, everyone from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad couldnt help but feel doubtful. As for the other six members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, they already made their preparations ording to Long Haochensmand. Long Haochen, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian were at the front, Lin Xin and Chen Yinger at the center, Han Yu was at the back of the formation, and Caier just disappeared into the darkness. Simply follow Haochens orders! Li Xin shouted before unsheathing the longsword she received from the merchants. Everyone had been provided with ordinary swords made of fine iron. Just at that moment, a white glow shed up in front of the caravan, instantly spreading through the air. It burnt the night forming a bright scene. As the appearance of this white glow left the whole caravan rmed, the drivers immediately reacted. These drivers clearly went through specific training, operating rapidly. A short timeter, over 200 carriages formed an enormous circr barricade of waggons. Over 500 guards d in armor surrounded the barricade, but the astonishing detail was that their armaments gave off magical fluctuations. They were at least at the magical tier. Without a doubt, Long Haochens orders had already been followed, and his mates were all hiding inside of the carriage. The earth started shaking. A faint tremor at first, continuously increasing until it soon erupted into the ear-splitting noise of explosions. The sky was still pitch ck, but in the sparse lighting from the moon and the carriages torches, one could faintly see numerous shadows closing in very rapidly. Yue Ye calmly stood on the roof of her carriage, showing a very cold expression. Above the vehicle, her white skirt glowed white against the dark sky. With a wave of her hand, a white light rocketed to the sky, but this time, it reached a higher altitude before exploding, forming the shape of a bent white moon. But far across, the nearing shadows didnt react to this signalunched to the Yue Ye chamber ofmerce, maintaining their charging speed without slowing down in the slightest. Demons, its demons. Wang Yuanyuan cried out in a low voice. Long Haochen gave her a nce, and ordered, Dont act blindly everyone. Unless it is absolutely necessary, dont intervene rashly. The distant demon troops were already drawing closer, and the caravans guards immediately couldnt suppress a change of their expressions. Just from a visual assessment, these demon troops were at least 10,000 strong. At their front were about 5,000 Dual ded Demons, led by a dozen Dark Green Dual ded Demons madly rushing forward. At their back were arge amount of Slinkers from the Luke n that posed without doubt the greatest threat to their caravan. In case these enemies managed to attack from underground, the damage they would cause obviously would be tremendous. But an even more fearful thing was that aside from these two races, an enormous quantity of other demon types was following at their rear. They were apanied by an air force of hundreds, but it was too dark to see them clearly yet. These demon troops clearly didnt have any intention to negotiate, only barging in and immediately ughtering their way through. The surroundings were filled with intense killing intent. Long Haochen was continuously observing thedy d in the white skirt. As she looked at these demonic forces closing in, two banners suddenly appeared in the hand of this girl. Without hesitation, she brandished the white and red colored banners with lightning speed. The 500 guards that had rushed out to defend the caravan immediately returned to their posts, and Long Haochen heard a series of repeated machinery sounds. Each of the carriages drivers was working with the utmost hurry. At a side of the carriages, a board was lifted open, exposing artillery firing salvos of slightly glowing missiles. Everyone in Long Haochens group had sharp senses, so their pupils immediately shrank in session. This was because they discovered that these arrows were faintly imbued with magical power. They were unexpectedly magical arrows. In fact, even the most average magical arrows would cost more than 2,000 gold coins each. Furthermore, they were one use items, and with so many carriages, just one volley of arrows would consume above 10,000 gold coins. This was a demonstration of extremely high money consumption. Yue Ye was standing calmly on top of the carriage, her cute face portraying a mixture of pure holy and demonic aura. Currently filled with destion, her purple eyes twinkled coldly. Together with the white banner, she held the red one high, calmly gazing at the approaching demon forces. Being one of the biggest unions of frence merchants, the Yue Ye Merchant Group naturally had their own ways of self-defense. Their biggest disadvantage lied in the fact they couldnt hire powerhouses of the sixth step or above, but they could still rely on other means like, for instance, their equipment. _Hush_. At the moment the red g in her hand was pointed forward, an astonishing scene immediately took ce. Along with a chain of machinery sounds and the buzz of the released arrows, thousands of brilliant rays shot up. These radiances were of various colors. Eleven of these arrows were released from each of the carriages: ten smaller ones and a bigger one. But instantly after they wereunched, Long Haochen felt that not only the arrows were magical; even the crossbows shooting them were supplemented with magic. Furthermore, these magical arrows were actually not the kind of one-time-use objects, and the magical fluctuations they released were powerful,parable to magical attacks of the second or the third step! Above all, the bigger ones exceeded one meter in diameter. As they wereunched, they were surrounded by spiralling magic. If one looked at this scene from above, he would sense that this Yue Ye Merchant Groups barricade of waggons felt just like a bees nest: even if the demons troops were still more than 500 meters away, arge quantity of magic arrows was alreadyunched at them. The resulting scene was absolutely spectacr: the demon armys vanguard had surprisingly beenpletely annihted. Regardless of whether they were ordinary or dark green Dual ded Demons, such an intensive bombardment of arrows just made them look like children. The magic pierced the demons limbs and blew them to pieces. Thisbination of metal and magic was absolutely deadly, and a symbol of the terrible power money could have. Even a powerhouse of the seventh step could only retire with a grudge, when facing so many magical arrays. The entirety of the carriages shook from the extreme bacsh, nevertheless, immediatelyunching another fuside of magical arrows. This sort of battlefield was just too spectacr. Although Long Haochens group could only follow the attack from the carriage they were seated in, everyone could feel a chill running down their spines. After a single round of arrows, these demon troops of more than ten thousands were left without a single Dual ded Demon alive. And the following Luke Demons showed fast response, immediately sinking into the ground and narrowly escaping the second attack. But the distant flying demons, as well as the other species in the rear, received strong damage. But their carnage didnt weaken at all, the dense bloody atmosphere spread around, causing everyone to feel sick. Among the barricade, the only motionless carriage was the one Yue Ye was standing on. Just as before, her hand was brandishing the banners nonstop. As the distant demons were continuously being ughtered, she didnt seem to show any concern. At some point, she had already made use of her magical eyes, which now had recovered their usual ck color. But in the middle of the deep night, who would pay attention to such little details? As the g fell down, the carriages stopped shaking, and Long Haochen discovered through attentive observation that their supply of magical arrows was far from being unlimited: each device only had the ability tounch two rounds. But the several hundred of carriages were loaded with several hundreds of these formidable magic weapons, so even if there were only two rounds each, the prative power of these arrows was enough to turn the majority of the demon troops into corpses. Just at that time, Yue Ye, still standing on the carriage, raised her right hand, enrolling a white scroll. The scroll extended, releasing a white glow that immediately rocketed through the sky and illuminated the entirety of the carriages. Soon, it enveloped the whole barricade, and in an instant, the ground beneath their feet turned white. With a swift movement Yue Ye inserted the red banner into the ground in front of the carriage. Long Haochen immediately heard the cart driver at their side shout, Thrust your weapons into the ground, to wound those Slinkers from the Luke n. Long Haochen had long since sensed that the Slinkersing from below were getting closer. That girl d in white, seemingly responsible for the leadership, reacted calmly, and although her white scroll emitted luminous white light, it was not of the light element. Nevertheless, its defensive power and scope of effect were extremely astonishing. The Slinkers from the Luke n could only try out to emerge from the ground, but they had no way to break through the obstruction of the white brilliance. On the other hand, the longswords Long Haochens group stabbed into the ground werent affected at all. The two Demon Hunt Squads would naturally not let such a good opportunity slip away. Their perception was much better than that of ordinary people. They sensed the whereabouts of the Slinkers and uninterruptedly pierced them while using their internal energy to provide those fine iron swords with an excellent destroying power. Quickly, the attacking Luke nsmen were all obliterated. After these attacks, the approaching demon troops were already reduced to less than a third of their former size, while only half of their aerial troops remained. Their assault paused temporarily, showing hesitation. Clearly, they didnt expect the Yue Ye Merchant Groups response to be so fierce. Demons were also living creatures, and seeing their own kin being killed so miserably, they felt somewhat gutless. But the remaining demons didnt escape, instead they calmly stopped in a distance of more than a kilometer, just outside of the magical arrays range. Standing on the carriage, Yue Ye furrowed her brows. She was after all a merchant, not a soldier. The caravans power had already been openly disyed, and they already used up most of their magical arrows. If the remaining demons had insisted on attacking, the caravan would surely have suffered some losses. Not only a mary loss, but also a loss of human lives. A red silhouette quietly mounted on the roof, joining up with Yue Ye. Sis Ye, whats going on? Why arent these bastards going away? Just like Yue Ye, Leng Xiao possessed eyes that were able to change colors. Chapter 222 - Desperate Straits! Forbidden Spell! (II)

Chapter 222: Desperate Straits! Forbidden Spell! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Yue Ye took a deep breath, I have a bad feeling. Im afraid we are in deep trouble right now. In the past, even when tribes dared toe out and confront us, they would still try some negotiating, sometimes giving us room for concessions. But today, they directlyunched their attack, dispatching an army of ten thousand. In the whole Nareiks Province, only three great tribes are capable of giving such orders. But since they dispatched such an army to handle us, they clearly made a firm resolution. We were able to handle the first wave of attack, but Im afraid that we wont be able to handle the second one. Leng Xiao reacted with some anxiety, What should we do then? Since these bastards have the impertinence to execute such attacks, when we are back, we will make sure to certainly not spare them. Yue Ye didnt pay attention to Len Xiaos indignation, saying in a serious tone, Now, we can only take the initiative to attack before the three great tribes react. After disposing of the enemies in front of our eyes, and collecting the magical arrays, we will equip them once again. Then we shall immediately return to the Temple Alliance, and only set out again after handling the matter with those three great tribes. She had a firm nature; as she spoke, she already signaled with the g in her hand. The caravans guards rapidly reacted, quickly changing formation and facing the pressure of the remaining demons in front of them. Long Haochen felt quite curious regarding the Yue Ye Caravans initiative. What was this caravan nning to do? But in the next instant, Caiers and his faces immediately changed expressions. Looking at each other face to face, their eyes filled with horror. Everyone, change your gear! Get ready to break through this. Long Haochen ordered in a low voice, immediately throwing the longsword in his hand away. Under the attentive watch of the carriages driver, he removed his cotton-padded clothes, and started to put his lightly glowing Holy Spirit Armor on. Filled with great indignation, Dian Yans reaction was immediate, Long Haochen, what are you doing? This will expose us. Long Haochen threw a cold look at him, If you want to die here, feel free to act as you please. As he said so, he waved his hand to his own squad. Naturally, everyone of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad had not the slightest opposition regarding Long Haochens order; all of them rapidly changed into their own equipment while keeping a solid battle formation. Li Xin looked at Dian Yan, but still felt hesitant. She was after all not the real leader of this 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. Therefore, she turned back, giving Luc Xi an inquiring look. At this time, Luc Xi came to a final understanding, unexpectedly shouting out, What are you still waiting for? Havent you heard Captain Longs order to shift gear? At this time, the fleet had already advanced several hundred meters, entering the scope where the sniped corpses were scattered. Following the order transmitted through the g signal, they rapidly collected the magical arrows lying on the ground. After simply being wiped clean, they were used to rearm the carriages. This was enough to cause their fighting strength to increase sharply. But even Yue Ye was astonished to see that when the guards advanced towards them, the remaining demons seemed to fall back, maintaining the distance. But they didnt show any intent to attack. And just at this instant, some change finally appeared on Yue Yes face. Its a trap. Suddenly, dozens of mournful howling sounds broke through the sky. Sharp yells rang out from the left, the right, as well as the rear, and ear-splitting noises sounded almost at the same time from these three directions, like explosions. The enemy was madly charging at them, and this time, it was at least an army of 30,000. Leng Xiao stood by Yue Yes side, staring nkly at her sister Yue whose face waspletely devoid of color, They They unexpectedly dispatched that many troops. They are nning to To kill everyone to prevent any leaking of information. These words seemed to be sneaked out from the small gap between Yue Yes gritted teeth. She knew that since the three great tribes of the Nareiks Province dispatched that many troops, they were already prepared to silence them thoroughly. Not a single living soul would be spared. Aside from these three iing battalions, another army of 10,000 appeared at their front. The enemy wasnt advancing with any urge, only watching coldly as the Yue Yes caravan got surrounded. A caravan formed of a little more than 2,000 people was confronting a demon army of over 40,000 soldiers. This disproportion was as obvious as one could imagine it. It would even be fortunate if intact corpses were left after the battle. But instead of panicking, Leng Xiao became extremely cold-headed, Sis Yue, I will let them know about my identity. I dont believe they will dare act against me. Yue Ye smiled bitterly, shaking her head, and replying, Its useless. I know these lower demon tribes a lot better than you. None of them will believe you, and they will not even give you the opportunity to speak. And what if they really believe it? In case this plotes to light, they are bound to die anyway. And since they are going to die either way, theyd rather get rid of us, to erase any evidence. Since they premeditated their attack that thoroughly, they should even know clearly what we are transporting. The g in her hand didnt stop at all, and was instead waved even more quickly as she spoke. Their fleet stopped its advance once again, the magical arrows were gathered at fast speed and used to refill theunchers. But it was obvious to them that with its fighting strength, their caravan waspletely unable topare anyway. To cope with their caravan of a few thousands, these demons actually dispatched an army of 50,000. This was how high they valued the caravans goods. Although their casualties werent small, now that they managed to surround them sessfully, even with wings, the Yue Ye Caravan wouldnt manage to escape from this predicament. Dian Yan stood silently by Luc Xis side, currently in a terrible mood. It wasnt only because of Long Haochens previous anticipation, but more importantly because of the impasse they were in. It was his suggestion to apany these frence merchants. But the scene that happened before his eyes was undeniable proof that his suggestion was a mistake. Luc Xi patted Dian Yans shoulder, This cannot be med on you. As he said so, he joined Long Haochens side, and asked earnestly, Captain Long, what should we do now? Well obey each of yourmands. Long Haochen slightly bowed to him, replying, After the fight begins, we will break out to the front. Captain Luc, please focus on group healing. Our team will be in the front, have your team follow us. Remember, dont act too rashly, and dont make our immediate goal too visible. This will very likely be a war of attrition, so everyone has to economize his spiritual energy to the utmost. Yes. Luc Xi gave a straightforward reply, entering formation with his own teammates. At this moment, Long Haochensplexion was not that good. They had just entered the demon territory, but already ran into such a situation. This was theplete opposite result of their original ns. Their route to the Deste Whistling Cavern was still long, and let alonepleting the mission, the main objective in such a situation was to survive. Watching Luc Xi who was drawing back to join up with hisrades formation, Long Haochen gave Li Xin a nce before telling his teammates in a low voice, Dont use the Spiritual Bursting Pills unless it is absolutely necessary. Do your utmost to disperse the least possible. Yinger, we will have to depend on you to get out of the cmity that will break out in a moment. As he said so, Long Haochen came close to Chen Yingers side, whispering some words in her ear. Chen Yinger nodded repeatedly, No problem. At this moment, her finger pointed into the emptiness, and with a sh of light, her little pig McDull already appeared at her bosom. Get ready for battle. Long Haochen did a low-pitched shout. As before, Han Yu was still staying at his back. Clearly, Long Haochen didnt believe he could entrust his back to the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad at all. In that team, the only one he had confidence in was Li Xin, and no one else. On the roof of the luxurious carriage, after waving her hand ast few times, Yue Ye had already arranged the general battle formation. Her face had calmed down, and she put the pair of gs down. Leng Xiao, I know that you have a way to escape from here. This cannot be dyed, just go. Hand this ring over to His Majesty, and ask him to seek justice for us. As she made this deration, she took off the ruby ring, cing it on Leng Xiaos finger. Leng Xiao gave this ring a nce, suddenly lifting her right hand and wiping the upwelling tears from her eyes. Then she took off the ring from her own hand and pulled Yue Yes hand to return it to her. Sis Ye, I will do as if I didnt hear your previous statement. But please dont insult the dignity of the Devil Dragons lineage ever again. Yue Ye felt her body shaking, filled withplete excitement. But quickly, she calmed down. It was obviously not the time for words of appreciation. Taking a deep breath, she put her ring on once again, dering, Okay, then it is time for ourst desperate struggle. As she said so, with a flip of her hand, an exquisite box appeared on her palm. This box was half a meter long, entirely ck and made of wood. Along with ck-gold-colored ornamentation, five gems of red, yellow, blue, white and gold were ced ordingly to this specific order, forming a particr formation. Just this box in itself was already a fine piece of work. It was imbued with magic, though it appeared for the moment to be of unknown use. Yue Ye pressed hidden mechanisms at both sides of the case, and it opened with a click sound, revealing a deep purple-colored scroll. During the split second the box took to open, Leng Xiaos red eyes immediately shrank. Yue Ye spoke, indifferently, Since they want to kill me, they shouldnt mind it if I give them a great gift in return. Xiaoxiao, I need the time of half a stick of incense, during which I cannot be disturbed in any way. You heard me? Leng Xiao nodded emphatically, Leave it to me. Yue Ye lowered her head, handing themand gs to Leng Xiao and sitting cross-legged on the roof of the carriage. She didnt directly take the scroll out, but instead ced the wooden box on her leg, while taking off her magical eyes. In the next instant, a deep purple glow was released from her touching eyes, and immediately, another purple glow emanated from her chest. It appeared like a deep purplish-ck hole, producing a strange scene in the middle of the night. With a glint spreading around, a deep purple cauldron with one meter length floated out, amplifying this splendid luster. This cauldron was circr, and in the instant it appeared, a purple moon was condensed from it. At Yue Yes back, the bent silvery white moon still shone brilliantly, and intense magical power ascended from her body. A silver bracelet on Yue Yes right wrist sparkled and a fist-sized silvery white gem appeared in her hand. In the instant this gem appeared, the magical fluctuations surrounding the whole carriage unexpectedly strengthened, twisting around the two silhouettes. With a movement of Yue Yes finger, the bizarre white gem floated in the air, urately falling into the purple cauldron that came out of her body. Immediately, that cauldrons purple glow erged, turning into a purple light pir soaring up to the sky. Above Yue Yes head, a purple full moon immediately formed and glistened, illuminating the entire formation of carriages. Chapter 223 - Desperate Straits! Forbidden Spell! (III)

Chapter 223: Desperate Straits! Forbidden Spell! (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Yue Ye started to chant in a low voice, and the scroll within the wooden box slowly began to float in the air. Now bathed in the purple moonlighting from the sky, she no longer seemed pure and holy, but was instead brimming with bewitching charm. Her originally ck hair immediately turned into a luminescent purple color, and everyponent of her recitation was extremely slow, yet firm and strong. Her words were chanted in a unique sort of rhythm, and all the magical elements in the air began to fluctuate wildly. It even seemed as though the blood of the people in the cart formation who were part of Yue Yes Chamber of Commerce had been ignited. What is she doing? Long Haochen threw a nce at Lin Xin who stood behind him. Lin Xins face was full of shock, It seems that shes trying to arouse this scrolls power. I believe that her cultivation level should be a lot higher than ours. But how can she possibly make use of such a powerful scroll? This cauldron should be her spiritual stove. And it seems that a rather high ranked magical crystal has been inserted in it. Could it be that shes trying to borrow this magical crystals power to arouse the scroll? Shes really going all out! Chen Yinger also opened her own eyes wide, Could this scroll be Could it be the trigger to a forbidden spell?! In Shengmo Dalu, all magic spells of the ninth step were collectively known as forbidden spells, forming taboo and destructive existences. In the battlefield, the mages would forever hold the greatest destructive power, because they were able to make use of the essence of heaven and earth to disy iparable might. But this was always under the premise that they managed toplete their spell. Lin Xin muttered, If thats a forbidden spell, then Im afraid that the magical crystal she previously took out muste from a magical beast of the tenth step! These two things are simply priceless. What a madwoman! The army forces surrounding them on all four sides clearly saw that purple moon. Their previous oppressing movement abruptly changed, as she rapidly soared up into the air. They were now cautiously approaching them. After quickly muttering to himself, Long Haochen suddenly lifted his head, How long should that girl from the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce need to activate her scroll? I dont know about its power, but if she reallypletes this spell, this is absolutely not something we can possibly block. Lets have a little change of ns: After the battle starts, we will have to get as close as possible to that girl, providing protection to enable her to toplete this spell. At the same time, her position should be the safest. Getting close to her will be our top priority. The demon army surrounding them on all sides had already closed in up to a distance of 500 meters. The previous buzzing sounds resounded once again, and although this time, the carriages didnt have theirplete erupting power, those fierce magic arrows reeking of blood were shot once again, portraying formidable killing power like thest time. In particr, theserger magical bursts seemed to be able to prate the bodies of dozens of the Dual ded Demons in the front.. A bloody mist filled the air, making the army of demons feel somewhat sluggish. Meanwhile, a dense magical radiance started to illuminate the barricade of carriages. The sky suddenly turned red, and immediately, strong fluctuations of the fire element burst forth. A bombardment of fireballs covered a wide area, smashing the demonsing from all directions. Long Haochen saw that the ones whounched this magic were a group of mages inside the barricade. They werent many, only 30 mages, approximately of the fifth step, with a spiritual energy level close to Lin Xins. But these mages were using magic above their own cultivation levell. Rain of ming Meteors, a spell of the sixth step. They relied on scrolls to execute this magic. 30 Falling Meteors scrolls, this was closer to burning money than to using fire magic. Magic scrolls of this level would at least cost 10,000 gold coins each, with a demand surpassing the offer by far. Lin Xin looked dumbstruck, So wealthy, they are just so wealthy. And here I havent even 30,000 gold coins left Their consumption of money was great, but the results were simrly incredible. The 30 Rains of ming Meteors were of incredible scale. In an instant, the earth turned into a zing inferno, violent explosions resounded everywhere, and spread an unpleasant smell of burned flesh over the whole battlefield. One fierce demon after another was smashed by the effects of these Rains of ming Meteors. These 30 scrolls were indeed not a waste of money, seemingly turning all the approaching Dual ded Demons into cannon fodder, wiping the ground clean. Even the demons at the 4th and 5th step received severe wounds. The advance of those demon armies was beingpletely halted. The Dual ded Demons were rather weak, but they were extremely numerous. They formed more than a third of this army of 40,000. The wide bombardment of Rains of ming Meteors left the low ranked demonspletely unable to survive. But the 30 mages didnt stop at that. At the same time as theyunched this chain of Rain of ming Meteors, all of them took another scroll of golden color out, and started to chant at rapid speed. Soon, one golden luster after another shone in the dim sky and the group of these mages fell to the ground, entering a state of meditation. The fact that the activation of a single scroll came with such a high consumption only testified for one thing: these scrolls were at least of the seventh step. Only a scroll surpassing the users cultivation by two steps could possibly cause such a massive consumption of spiritual energy. Golden marks appeared in the sky, and immediately descended on the whole caravan. They took the shape of a gigantic golden mantle covering the entire barricade of waggons inside. Only the purple light emerging from the top of Yue Yes head, connecting her with the purple moon, could pass through it. Yue Yes chant kept going on, not suffering the slightest influence from the surrounding changes. Long Haochens pupils shrank immediately. He wasnt a mage, and was unable to use fire magic, but he watched the previous scene closely. The activated scrolls should be that of a light system spell of the seventh step, Holy Light Spiritual Formation. 30 Holy Light Spiritual Formations formed a massive defensive area, while in contrast to that, Yue Yes spell was filled with darkness aura. She was clearly using a magic scroll of the darkness element. But since the darkness magic originating from thebination of box and scroll suffer any impediment from the light magic, this was clearly theplete suppressioning along with a distinct difference of step. _It looks like Lin Xin and Chen Yinger were right, Im afraid this is the magic scroll of a forbidden spell!_ The demon troops didnt shrink back just because of the Rains of ming Meteors, but became instead even more unyielding. Thousands of purple radiances hit the golden mantle, causing several ripples to appear. This was the attack issued by the Magical Eye Soldiers. The real forces of their armies finally came forth. The Demon Eye Soldiersunched long-range attacks while some human shaped demons rushed to the front. Their height was roughly 1,8 meters, and at first nce, they looked simr to humans, but they had long and narrow faces with eyes of a glinting green color. Their hands were not like humans either, consisting of sharp cones extending over half a meter. Advancing with leaps, these human shaped demons surpassed the Dual ded Demons with ease, be it in terms of agility or strength. And their fighting methods werent the same either. Those were Berzerk Demons, the main infantry force of the demons big armies. With fighting strength surpassing the Dual ded Demons by far, and unyielding and tough bodies capable of fric attacks, they could bepared with warriors of the third step. Their pair of sharp, stinger-like hands possessed a formidable prative power, making them the nemesis of human infantry. But those Berzerk Demons werent as numerous as the Dual ded Demons. In times of war, they would rarely be dispatched to the immediate offensive force, this was how precious they were esteemed to be. At this time, the Berzerk Demons that appeared on the battlefield numbered above the 5,000. The reason for this was simple, the Nubo n attached to the Berzerk Demons was precisely one of the three great tribes leading the Nareiks Province. The Divine Light Spiritual Formation was a massive defensive area ability, with an extremely powerful defensive strength. As the several thousands Berzerk Demons approached from all sides, they were entirely repelled by the magical defense. All they could do was only to attack the Divine Light Spiritual Formation with all their might, trying to consume the spells power. Under the attacks of that many Berzerk Demons and Magical Eye Soldiers, the Divine Light Spiritual Formation was weakening at lightning speed. In midair, a great quantity of Dual Headed Demon Eagles were circling, asionally probing the Divine Light Spiritual Formation with darkness bullets. In the sky, aside from the Dual Headed Demon Eagles, another type of human-shaped demons with the ability of flight was present inrge numbers. They carried a pitch-ck pike in their hands, while pping a pair of huge wings at their backs. Their deep blue colored bodies were covered with extraordinarily fancy glints, and although they flew in the air, they had a melee style of battle. At the moment they were simply waiting for the Divine Light Spiritual Formation to break. They were the Birdy Demons of the Kuli n. Their fighting strength was approximately at the fourth step, and their speciality was to kill enemies on the ground with their sudden raid attacks from the air. The Kuli n was another one of the leading ns in the Province of Nareiks. Together with the Nubo Demons and the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles, affiliated to the Xichang n, they were the joint rulers of that province. Within the Yue Ye Caravan, everyone picked up their weapons, regardless whether they were guards, drivers, or were assigned to other duties. Despite the fact that the 2,000 of them already seeded in killing many demons and portrayed a terrible might, the demon forces of the Province of Nareiks were stillpletely surrounding them. In case the Divine Light Spiritual Formation was broken, it would be hard to say for how long the caravan members would be able to defend themselves. Long Haochen swept his eyes over hisrades who were already d in their armor, Operation start. Although, the Divine Light Spiritual Formation still barely managed to resist the constant attacks, everyone was still focused on the iing demon forces, and no one paid attention to the changes within the barricade. They just treated the thirteen youths the same as ordinary guards. Long Haochen led the other twelve, taking advantage of the general distraction to get closer to the carriage on which Yue Ye and Leng Xiao were standing. On the carriage, Leng Xiao had already thrown away the gs and reced them with a long staff, which she held in her right hand. This staff was entirely pitch-ck, and embedded with a scarlet-colored gem, releasing a feeling of pulsing blood. Her devilish figure was still as exciting, but one could vaguely see that the skin of her right hand seemed to be covered with ck veins. Finally, a crack appeared in the golden brilliance after a duration of five minutes. After a few more attacks the Divine Light Spiritual Formation finally shattered, turning into countless dots of lights scattering into the night sky. The whole demon army moved as one entity, frantically attacking the now exposed carriages. Then, the moment everyone feared was there. The demon armies reached the barricade and with the reeking of blood spreading to them, a dense killing intent finally enveloped the whole caravan. Chapter 224 - Carriage’s Roof! Long Haochen’s Stage (I)

Chapter 224: Carriages Roof! Long Haochens Stage (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In reality, their guards,ing from their organization called the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, only amounted to five hundred people. However, each and every one of those five hundred were experts at the fourth step fully armored with magic equipment. There were even some that were already at the fifth step. The majority of those guards consisted of humans, but there was also a small number of demons. For example, it included ten Dark Green Dual ded Demons. The attacks of those omnipresent demons finally came, but the 500 guards blocked their path forcibly. They formed a defensive ring around the caravan and even the people withoutbat ability, like the drivers, were ready to defend it. After surrounding the several hundreds of carriages, the frontline of the iing enemies somewhat dispersed, but through their huge numbers they remained quite close to each other in terms of distance. As the demons charged forward, Long Haochen had already led hisrades within a fifty meter radius of Yue Yes and Leng Xiaos carriage. At this moment, they could not help but stop. The invading enemies who wereing from every direction did not manage to immediately break through the barricade of waggons, but the aerial attacks couldnt be blocked so easily.. A fiery red screen lit up as Lin Xin unleashed a fire shield that protected both him and Chen Yinger. Fireballs and obscure Magic Bullets of the darkness attribute shot out ceaselessly from the mouths of the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles while the Birdy Demons, who had already been impatiently waiting for a long time, began diving down. Behind Long Haochen, Caiers body suddenly emerged from the darkness. The tips of her feet tapped the ground, and the next moment she stood on Long Haochens shoulders. Dim, cold killing intent flickered in her beautiful ck eyes as the bamboo cane that had been stored away for a while appeared in her right hand. The green bamboo cane was waved through the air and turned into a green blur. Every magical bullet, whether of fire or darkness attribute, was instantly obliterated by Caiers cane. It was precisely the assassin skill, Sly Stab. Relying on the green cane, Caiers attack happened to cover the perfect range to protect all the members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, ensuring that none of the Magic Bullets shot by the Dual Headed Eagles reached them. On the other side, the 4th soldier grade Demon also had a clever reaction. The six of them rapidly gathered in a circr formation, with their three pure-mage vocations inside and their three close-quarter vocations outside. A silver radiance formed above their heads, turning into a disk blocking the bullets while preventing them from explodig. It was precisely the work of the spatial mage Yi Jun. The two Demon Hunt Squads didnt stop at that: as they resisted the magical attacks, they kept drawing closer to Yue Yes carriage. At this instant, both Luc Xi and Dian Yan had already put all their previous thinking away. Being surrounded by several thousand demons, they were now in desperate straits. And since they were intelligent people, they obviously invested their best efforts into fulfilling theirmon goal. After all, they didnt want to die at such a ce. By now, Luc Xi finally understood why Long Haochen decided to change his ns in this way. When Yue Ye would activate her forbidden spell from the roof of the carriage, its destructive power and radius of impact were easy to imagine. The only way to stay safe would be to stay close enough to her to avoid being hit. The moment of the forbidden spellspletion was bound to be their best opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Realizing this, Luc Xi couldnt help but feel full of admiration towards Long Haochen for this decision. To be able to make such an adequate decision in such a short time, he fulfilled his duty as a captain very well. But trying to get closer to the carriage was obviously not so easy; after the first bombardment with Magic Bullets, it was time for the Birdy Demons to arrive. Although the Birdy Demons werent as numerous as the Berzerk Demons, nevertheless, it was a flock of more than 2,000. Their raid was sudden and they outnumbered the members of the Yue Ye Caravan. Several dozens of Birdy Demons headed in the direction of Long Haochens group. The other demons were ready and cooperated with them: at the time the Birdy Demons entered the range for close quartersbat, the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles immediatelyunched attacks against the guards defending the barricade. Kill them! Long Haochen shouted out loudly. In one hand, the Holy Spirit Sword glinted of gold and blocked a Birdy Demons charge with a _dang_. Meanwhile, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light instantly released countless rays of light: it was Lightning Thrust. Using the power of Bright Vengeance,ing from the use of Divine Obstruction, the Holy Spirit Sword transmitted a great deal of power into the Lightning Thrust. It was an instantaneous move that would prove to be pretty hard to aplish for other Retribution Knights of the same rank. That attacking Birdy Demon made an all out effort, but was blocked by Long Haochens Divine Obstruction, creating a shock that immediately made its body dull. How could it possibly stand a chance against the full powered Lightning Thrust executed with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light? Blood surged out of several dozens of wounds on that Birdy Demons body as it was pushed back from the massive recoil of the impact. Long Haochen was already approximately at the sixth rank of the fifth step, and in the whole team, if Caiers Dagger of Samsara that could bepared to a godly weapon wasnt taken into consideration, he was the most powerful in terms of strength. With his power at the fifth step against an opponent at the fourth step, plus adding his formidable weapons and abilities, a Birdy Demon couldnt possibly be an opponent for him. On the other side, Li Xin also disyed formidable strength as a knight. Right after she stabbed her two zing heavy swords into the ground, Heavenly Battle Array was released, intercepting a Birdy Demon in midair. She immediately linked this move to a Lightning Thrustbined with an Instant st Crosscut, abination that immediately killed the Birdy Demon. With a dull sound the corpse fell to the ground. During close quarters battles, the fighting strength of these two Demon Hunt Squads was fully disyed in all aspects. On the side of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, Dian Yan, the Shield Warrior of the team, was in charge of defending Luc Xi, Yi Jun and Bai Xiaomo whose body was already surrounded by arge amount of vines, having a certain defensive efficiency. With the sharp thorns spurting out unceasingly, the enemies were stopped. Their assassin Han Daosi was roaming in the surroundings, his faintly discernible figure using clever attacks by making use of the night, to find the wounded Birdy Demons and finish them off, aiming at the vital points to kill in a single blow. As Li Xin was guarding their surroundings, her attacks were already aplete disy of the talents of a Retribution Knight, though she hadnt even summoned her own Rose Unicorn. In fact, because of the formation taken by the carriages, the Rose Unicorns fighting strength would be greatly impeded, and furthermore, letting her economize her power would make her of even greater utility at the time of breaking out, just like Long Haochen hadnt summoned Haoyue. On the side of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, Bai Xiaomo and Yi Jun, who stood for two of the pure mage vocations, were the ones with the greatest killing power. Bai Xiaomos unceasing botanical summons had an enormous killing power, atop of restricting the enemy. A huge heap of yellow vapor was continuously puffed out by a particr kind of nt, resulting in a decline of the strength and the speed of the charging Birdy Demons, giving important help to the side of Long Haochens group. Yi Juns attacks as a spatial mage were quite unique, giving frequently birth to weird glinting silver rays, interfering in the flying trajectory of the Birdy Demons, just as if they were pulled up or down. When their bodies came in contact with these silver lights, violent interferences would be provoked, and asionally, Yi Jun would release a huge silvery radiance, turning several Birdy Demons into dust, leaving no skeleton behind. In the battlefield, the more effective attacks were surely the onesbining both aerial and terrestrial attacks. After the Holy Light Spiritual Formation had been broken, the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerces side instantaneously sunk into a passive situation. They could still defend against the assault of the Berserk Demons, but it was not as easy to deal with the swooping Birdy Demons, under the protection of the Dual-Headed Demonic Eagles magic. It was still quite easy for Long Haochen and his group to withstand these attacks, but not for the others from the Chamber of Commerce. Within the carriages, the majority of the members were simply ordinary people hefting weapons. Against these demons of the fourth step, they were simply being one sidedly ughtered. If not for the strong fighting capability demonstrated by those tensome mages in the center area, the interior of the carriage formation would most likely have already be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in a split second. Charge! Shouting out, Long Haochen took the lead and directly charged to the side. Caier stood stably on his shoulder, making it so that regardless of whether it was the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles or Birdy Demons that attacked, no aerial attack posed any threat to Long Haochen. Under the Birdy Demons assault, it was clear that the carriage formation would notst for long. Only by assembling at the center and defending a small area could they withstand the attacks for some time. Rings after rings of golden halos expanded outwards from Han Yus body. It just so happened that he was located in the middle of the two demon hunt squads, so these light system magic buffs not only took care of 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, but also the members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. After all, there was no guardian knight in the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. This was still the first time that these two demon hunt squads had ever closely cooperated, and Bai Xiaomos restriction of the enemies in addition to Han Yus sessive halo abilities caused the two squads to get into even closer contact with each other. As a priest, Luc Xi had already prepared to use his restorative magic, so that as long as any problems arose from either squad, his healing would be promptly cast. However, the battle had just started and hispanions were still at their peak state, so naturally, he was at this time the most rxed. Subsequently, he also had the time to observe the battles situation. Luc Xis gaze almost constantly followed Long Haochen at the very front. Seeing the performance of 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, he couldnt help but inwardly praise them. As expected, fame follows merit! The fighting capability that burst forth from Long Haochen and his squad was something that soldier grade 4th Demon Hunt Squad could definitely notpare with. At this moment, Caier had already stepped down and disappeared behind Long Haochen. As Long Haochen charged forward to the very front, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian covered the right and the left. They perfectly guarded the side nks with the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield and that massive staff, which allowed Long Haochen topletely disy his strength in his Retribution Knight state. Even with his eyesight, Luc Xi could only see that the two swords within Long Haochens hands were relentlessly waved and pierced outwards like golden rain. The Birdy Demons who dived down at the front all turned into carnage, and unexpectedly, not even one was able to block Long Haochens advance. He continued to charge towards their target with a constant speed. The responsibility of aerial defense fell upon Lin Xin, andyers andyers of fire shields along with Repelling Rings of Fire ceaselessly erupted into the air. All the Birdy Demons were all shot back without exception, and at the back, Han Yu simply unleashed and maintained his halo abilities. The entire team was like a sharp sword that both attacked and defended as it charged forward. Although their coordination couldnt be said to bepletely perfect, at least no mistakes urred. Within this group, the only one who hadnt taken action was the girl holding a cute little pig in her arms, Chen Yinger. Chapter 225 - Carriage’s Roof! Long Haochen’s Stage (II)

Chapter 225: Carriages Roof! Long Haochens Stage (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales While Long Haochens side was fighting an intense battle, the situation was even fiercer on Yue Yes side. Themanders of the demon army were no fools, and by now, all of them had guessed what sort of big move Yue Ye nned to pull off, that she was nning to use an incredibly powerful spell. Thus, both the Dual Headed Eagles and the Birdy Demons aimed mainly at her. Leng Xiao was calmly standing there, lifting the magical staff in her hand high into the air. Several blood-colored radiances continuously shed from the embedded gem. Each time a bloody red radiance touched a Birdy Demon, it would immediately obliterate the demon in the air, before returning on Leng Xiaos face to form a faint reddish trace. From the carriage, a soft red mist arose defending them from the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles magical attacks. This was also the reason why Yue Ye stayed close to this carriage, it was in itself a formidable piece of equipment. The merchant groups mages had already gathered around the carriage, using their own magic to assist Leng Xiao in the best way possible. Their aim was to resist the attacks at least for a short period of time. At this very moment, a dozen of violent cries resounded, and immediately afterwards, dozens of blue bright specters fell from the sky like meteors. Standing on the carriage, Leng Xiaos expression changed. From the staff in her hand, several dozens of fireballs went up. But those blue silhouettes that appeared suddenly were clearly not as easily handled as ordinary Birdy Demons. They shifted from the ground to the air, asionally breaking out with gaudy blue rays, surprisingly dissolving Leng Xiaos attack. At this time, Long Haochens group was already only roughly ten meters away from them, and could clearly see the silhouettes attacking from above. Those were also Birdy Demons, but enormous ones. Each of them was over 2.5 meters tall, having a majestic build and impressive muscles. Their whole bodies were covered with blue ripples producing an effect like lightning. The long spears in their hands were a lot longer than the ordinary Birdy Demons, and their targets were precisely Leng Xiao and Yue Ye. Compared to ordinary Birdy Demons, there was a single word of difference in their name: they were the so called Grand Birdy Demons. But their fighting capabilities already reached the standards of the sixth step. Within the Kuli n, their position was the same as that of the Dark Green Dual ded Demonspared to the regr Dual ded Demons of the Zelin n. They were simply the true elites of their race. Furthermore, the Grand Birdy Demons were even fewer in quantity, possessing the ability of controlling lightning. Seeing that 12 Grand Birdy Demons at the sixth step of cultivation attacked the carriage together, it was no wonder that Leng Xiaos expression changed so greatly. In fact, her true cultivation level was only at the peak of the fifth step: she had yet to reach the sixth step. Otherwise, she wouldnt have managed to pass the Temple Alliances inspection. Do you dare act against me? Leng Xiao shouted furiously and suddenly, ck wings sprouted and extended from her back, apanied by an iparable burst of aura. Even the sky above her head turned blood red. Her two pink eyes released a crimson sh of light, as she held the staff firmly in her hand, and unexpectedly flew up, weing those twelve Grand Birdy Demons in the air. Incantations were chanted in fast session from her mouth, as the staff in her hand transformed into blood red globes. Six immense blood red globes instantly shot out, erupting with intense crimson light. Rumble. Forbidden Sky! In the sky, a violent explosion resounded, and an enormous bloody red ring expanded with Leng Xiao as its center. Everywhere this crimson light passed, regardless whether it was Grand Birdy Demons or regr Birdy Demons, all their wings lost their utility. Each and every creature this bloody light touched, all lost the ability of flight, crashing down like stones. Even Leng Xiao didnt escape the effect of her terrifying Forbidden Sky technique, also falling down on the carriages roof. The ordinary Birdy Demons directly crashed. They either received severe damage or died directly. But the Grand Birdy Demons of the sixth step were originally quite close to the ground. As they struggled in the air, they controlled their bodies trajectory with flickers of brilliant rays of thunder and lightning. This method helped them tond safely on the ground, though their ns of aerial attacks obviously ended in failure. The Grand Birdy Demons stared at Leng Xiao with absolutely terrified faces, but in the instant they touched the ground, they shot out, relying on their astounding jumping capability to reach the carriages roof. At this time, Long Haochens group finally reached the side of the carriage. Long Haochen looked at hisrades, Caier, follow me. The others, keep yourselves as safe as possible. As he said so, his feet tapped on the ground, leaping with full strength and rising to the carriages roof as well. Although the carriages roof was wide, Leng Xiao and Yue Ye were already standing on it, and there was simply not enough space for Long Haochens whole team. Otherwise, they would only impede each others fighting strength. Having just fallen back on the roof, Leng Xiao saw this youth suddenly leap up from below, and waved her staff with almost no hesitation, aiming a crimson radiance at Long Haochen. I came to help you. Just as Long Haochen shouted this loudly, his Holy Spirit Sword emitted golden light, and an intense sacred power blossomed from it. A sun-like luster shed in the air, forcibly reducing the bloody spheric projectile to shreds. It was a Shining Sunlight Strike. Seeing Leng Xiaos attack being aimed at him, although Long Haochen didnt know what this blood-red-colored projectile of light was, he didnt dare to be careless. Having dered this to Leng Xiao, Long Haochen turned on the tips of his toes. Swinging his two swords at full power, he aimed Light Thorns at two Grand Birdy Demons. He was using his actions to make the rtionships between her enemies and himself clear. As the Shining Sunlight Strike glinted, Leng Xiao couldnt help but wrinkle her brows. To her, this light attribute aura inspired loathing, but she acknowledged at this moment Long Haochens status as an ally. Light attribute was the greatest taboo to demons, and no demon could use abilities of the light attribute. Therefore, this youth was clearly not the other side. And how handsome was he! At the split second Long Haochen turned around, Leng Xiao couldnt fight this thought. An illusory-looking ck silhouette suddenly appeared behind Long Haochens back, her eyes happening to meet Leng Xiaos. Even with her formidable bloodline, in the second this ice-cold gaze met hers, Leng Xiao couldnt help but feel a cold shiver running down her spine. The two targeted Grand Birdy Demons brandished theirnces and sent two lightning bolts in Long Haochens direction. They pounced with great violence and aimed directly at Long Haochen. The effects of the Forbidden Sky technique seemed to have already dissipated. Unfolding their wings, they disyed once again their aerial superiority. Dang, Dang. Two exploding sounds rang out. On the carriages roof, Long Haochen didnt move in the slightest, surprisingly blocking these two Grand Birdy Demons charges. Furthermore, they were instantly pushed back, and an intense Bright Vengeance was activated on Long Haochens body. A sphere of golden light shot out from Long Haochens chest and unfolded four tiny wings. It performed a flipping motion backwards, until it floated above Long Haochens shoulder. The four wings were pping softly, keeping the figure floating, and melodious chants resounded at great speed. Light Fairy, Yating. Hovering above Long Haochens shoulder, Yatings noble and sacred eyes were filled with deep and soft golden fluctuations. Her presence added ayer of golden hue to Long Haochens body. In fact, Yating wasnt the same as Huang Yis elemental fairy that had yet to evolve. In the process of her fusion with Long Haochen, that Light Elemental Fairy had already evolved twice. Every time an elemental fairy evolved, it would gain important benefits. She wasnt merely capable of providing support outside of battle, but her assisting power during battles was also extremely great. In terms of the spiritual stove ssification, she was considered to be a pure support-type spiritual stove. Thus, in the split second Yating floated above Long Haochens shoulder, he immediately felt the recovery of his spiritual energy increase by at least twofold. Additionally, all the skills he used would automatically have a great level of endorsement. On the surface of his body, an indistinct holy fire rose, raising his offensive and defensive strength substantially. The abilities he would use had their preparation time cut by at least a third. This was the first time Long Haochen cooperated with Yating in battle, so he still felt quite unfamiliar with her power. But he didnt expect the help Yating would give him to be so great. Nheless, as the Scion of Light and someone surpassing most people in terms of mental capacity, his body adapted to this change at lightning speed. Just after the two Grand Birdy Demons were blocked consecutively by Long Haochens linked Divine Obstructions, he immediately followed up with an Instant st Crosscut, supplemented by Bright Vengeance as well as the Light Elemental Fairy Yatings momentary amplification. This blow was filled with astonishing power, unexpectedly pushing the two Grand Birdy Demons over ten meters back. At this moment, Long Haochen didnt need to think about hisrades protection, so his fighting strength waspletely focused on attack. Two white glows emerged from his chest, pulling two Grand Birdy Demons aiming at Yue Ye towards him. It was the Saint Spiritual Stoves power of attraction. Subsequently, his Holy Spirit Sword abruptly turned zing white as he prepared a Holy Sword. Even with Yatings assistance, he was still unable to use a formidable offensive ability such as Holy Sword without preparation. But it shouldnt be forgotten that Long Haochen still possessed his new secret skill originating from the Assassin Temple: Raise Flowers Into Trees. The Holy Sword was released,bined with another Light Thorn. Just at the split second Long Haochenpleted this Light Thorn, Yatings first incantation had beenpleted. The Light Thorn erupting from his Holy Spirit Sword was of a pure and holy white color, tinted in gold. And the Holy Spirit Sword was immediately filled with a rich gold-red glint, corresponding precisely to her Sunlight Fire. In the past, Long Haochen could already use this sort of ability, but it woulde with a huge consumption of spiritual energy as well as a long preparation time. Therefore, it needed to be used with a perfect timing. But by now, not only did his strength rise, but he also had Yatings help, making him unexpectedly able tounch such powerful attacks quite effortlessly. Bang, BangC In front of such a strong holy aura, even though the two Grand Birdy Demons cultivation level was quite great, they were still unable to avoid the damage from its direct hit. Furthermore,pared to theirrades, these two were quite more miserable. Their bodies were pushed twenty meters back and infected by Sunlight Fire. Crying out mournfully, they crazily tried to extinguish the mes, and were temporarily no longer a threat for Long Haochen and the others. Chapter 226 - Carriage’s Roof! Long Haochen’s Stage (III)

Chapter 226: Carriages Roof! Long Haochens Stage (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen clearly understood his own position: his current goal wasnt to kill the enemies, but rather to prevent them from disturbing Yue Ye, giving her the time toplete her spell. Thus, after repelling those two Grand Birdy Demons, he didnt pursue them with further attacks, but immediately directed the pull of his Saint Spiritual Stove in another direction, attracting two different Grand Birdy Demons jumping at Leng Xiaos direction. Although this series of events sounds as if it happened slowly, it was almostpleted in the time of a single breath. Although Long Haochen was only at the fifth step, he had forcibly stopped six Grand Birdy Demons by relying on his own power. Although they were mostly repelled by Long Haochens attacks, their strength was limited by the fact that they didnt have the same kind of equipment as the humans. However, they were still six authentic Grand Birdy Demons of the sixth step! The fact that Long Haochen aplished this feat while being at the fifth step left everyone shocked. And exactly due to Long Haochens outstanding performance, the pressure on Leng Xiao was significantly lowered. Ball after ball of bright blood colored light stopped the remaining Grand Birdy Demons, barely stopping their offense. Even though their situation was temporarily stable, the whole caravan was facing an extremely perilous situation. Under the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles barrage, the raiding great army had already seeded in getting a foothold inside of the barricade, and attacked jointly with the Berzerk Demons. Confronted with this situation, the caravans guards were immediately unable to contend. The night was filled with sessive screams as the caravans resistance was quickly weakening. The demons cruelty, that led them to ughter whenever they had the chance, manifested in this situation. None of the human corpses were left intact, but the most shocking was that the Berserk and Birdy Demons didnt stop after massacring the enemy. They defiled the corpses by devouring them. Even the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles descended at great speed to take their share of human flesh. For them, the human corpses were nothing more than food. The members of the two Demon Hunt Squads turned gradually more pale by the minute. Although they used to participate in battles, this was their first time seeing such a massacre. This was already beyond cruel, and although their faces appeared pale, their eyes gradually turned raging red. Their rage made it almost unbearable to control the strength they preserved, which caused an overall increase of their fighting strength. On the carriages roof, it was bing harder and harder for Long Haochen to resist. The twelve Grand Birdy Demons were after all twelve powerhouses of the sixth step. After being stopped in session, these twelve Grand Birdy Demons flocked together andunched group attacks. Their whole bodies were covered in strong bluish purple. The glow of lightning shone through their skins and illuminated their sinister facial features. The twelve Grand Birdy Demons aimed theirnces at the carriages roof andunched a joint charge. Apanied by ear-splitting hissing sounds, the carriages roof was alreadypletely covered in bluish purple light. At that moment, the Birdy Demons madly charged with their lightning type spiritual energy towards the Yue Yus carriage. Nevertheless, Long Haochen didnt feel the slightest bit of panic. Instead, he stayed clear headed as he took a few steps back and shouted to Leng Xiao, who was standing nearby, Leave it to me. A purple radiance shed from his forehead, and along with the twinkle of nine purple rays of light, an enormous silhouette appeared on top of the carriage. With its appearance, the carriages surface, that could usually be described as spacious, immediately appeared quite crowded. But clearly, Long Haochen calcted the space he would need, so that it wouldnt affect Leng Xiao as well as Yue Ye who was still in the middle of her chant. Four exotic purple radiances burst out at the same time, falling separately on Long Haochen, Caier, Leng Xiao, and Yue Ye. Long Haochen and Caier didnt have any excessive reaction, but Leng Xiao and Yue Ye shivered lightly. They were startled to the point that Yue Yes incantation was slightly interrupted. In the next split second, a miraculous scene took ce. Rew. An astonishing hissing sound resounded on the carriages roof, and immediately, a huge light pirbining red, gold and green light erupted. The three colored light pir rose with fabulous timing, exactly at this moment the twelve Grand Birdy Demons were about to sh with the carriage. With a sh, Long Haochens figure was already in front of Yue Ye to block the attack. Crossing his two swords, he used Divine Obstruction and blocked the charge of three Grand Birdy Demons at once. The Light Fairy Yating kept chanting without stopping. Long Haochens body was covered by at least sevenyers of golden light. Due to this support, in his current state, even three Grand Birdy Demons couldnt possibly break through his Divine Obstruction. Mournful screams echoed instantly from the twelve Grand Birdy Demons mouths. Without a doubt, the enormous silhouette that appeared on the roof of the carriage was exactly Haoyue. And this tricolored light pir was the Essence of Disorder he had released right after his summon. Grand Birdy Demons also possessed magical attribute, and furthermore, they were only at the sixth step, and didnt have the same tyrannical power as the Bloodthirsty Betas. At that time, even the Bloodthirsty Beta had been heavily wounded by that move, so now those Grand Birdy Demons, whose power was still inferior to the Essence of Disorder itself, stood no chance. In the blink of an eye, cracks of different degrees perforated the twelve Grand Birdy Demons skins. Their whole bodies broke apart while spasming violently. But these Grand Birdy Demons were after all at the sixth step. Even in a situation where they suffered life threatening injuries, they still did their utmost to escape the light pirs range. But, at the time Haoyue used that ability in the wide terrain of the Exorcist Mountain, it had covered a diameter of 50 meters. But on such a narrow roof, the abilitys effect had at least doubled. These Grand Birdy Demons originally had defensive powers that couldntpare with that of the Dark Green Dual ded Demons. After being hit by the even more violent second activation of this spell, even if they wanted to escape, they werent able to. Caier, who gradually emerged from Long Haochens shadow, finally made a move. An indistinct figure turned into a ck sh, soaring up to the sky. The Grand Birdy Demons were of the human-type and shared their physique. Therefore, during the crucial moments they would have the same reactions as a human enemy. After the shadow passed them in a sh, bloody holes appeared between three of the Grand Birdy Demons eyes. Long Haochen and Leng Xiao would naturally not let such a good opportunity slip by. In the blink of an eye, Long Haochen put Yatings support to full use, with abination of the Holy Spirit Sword and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, along with the blossoming Holy Sword. He rushed forward like a lightning bolt, and with a resounding dragon cry, Ascending Dragon Strike immediately hit two Grand Birdy Demons, cutting their throats with one blow. At the next moment, the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove wasunched, forcibly stopping two other Grand Birdy Demons from escaping. Ascending Dragon Strike was immediately followed by Condemning Revolving Sword, leading to aplete bloodbath in the sky. Leng Xiao, who had so far only used magical attacks, now disyed her other abilities. She pped the wings at her back, and her body turned into an illusory red blur. She didnt even use her staff but instead attacked physically. Every punch and kick was apanied by a sonic boom, and with only three strikes three Grand Birdy Demons were directly killed in session. Faced with this monstrous strength they had no chance to resist. After Caier eliminated three more Grand Birdy Demons, she turned into a ghostly blur before sweeping past the back of another Dark Green Dual ded Demon, which she immediately decapitated. Dark blue-colored blood still surged from its neck after she already left. Thest Grand Birdy Demon seemed to have sessfully escaped the scope of Essence of Disorder, but suddenly three different-pitched bellows resounded from within the middle of the light pir and aimed fiercely at its back. Immediately piercing its body, Haoyue finally annihted thisst Birdy Demon. Compared to thest time he used Essence of Disorder, Haoyues situation was much better. Although the expression on his three heads was as before a bit exhausted, the chaotic fluctuations surrounding his body were a lot weaker. This was one of the benefits that came with his recent development. Leng Xiao gave Haoyue an astonished look, before again staring at Long Haochen. She really didnt expect that they couldpletely annihte the Grand Birdy Demons in such a short time. At this very moment, a burning ring of fire rose from below, enveloping all the bodies of the fallen Grand Birdy Demons, instantly causing them to disappear. Naturally this was Lin Xins doing. Even the other members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad didnt know howrge the capacity of his magical storage device was. He hadnt only recovered the bodies of the Grand Birdy Demons, but he also took the corpses of quite a few ordinary Birdy Demons. Chen Yinger smiled discretely, Has-drugs-bro, youre really mad about money, arent you! Lin Xin snorted unhappily, Which manager wouldnt make profits when he can, those are all good materials. Just like those demons had no scruples to eat us humans, why wouldnt we exploit their crappy parts? The battle on the carriages rooffinally came to a halt, and Yating, loyal to her duty till the end, released a Spiritual Gathering Halo to help Long Haochen recover his spiritual energy at a higher speed. Her Spiritual Gathering Halo even surpassed Long Haochens own in efficacy because it directly borrowed power from the light essenceprised among the magical elements concentrated in the air. Long Haochen felt that this was feasible because his liquid spiritual energy was unceasingly circting in the Saint Spiritual Stove,pensating for his previousrge consumption. Unfortunately, the halos effect wasnt shared with Haoyue. Light Elemental Fairies were haughty creatures, and thus, her supportive magic would only be used for Long Haochen alone. How much time does her spell still need before it will bepleted? Despite the temporary reprieve, Long Haochen was still carefully observing the surroundings. He couldnt help but let out a long breath: right now, a practically inexhaustible army of demons was crazily attacking their side. Leng Xiao was startled by Long Haochens sudden question, but replied without any hesitation, It will still take about five minutes. Then, I shall leave the carriages roof to you. Long Haochen dered in a low voice, and leaped to the ground, followed by Caier. Only Haoyue remained on the carriages roof, and it wasnt clear whether the previous words were directed at Leng Xiao or Haoyue. Economize your spiritual energy! Long Haochen loudlymanded, and with a glint of golden light, he released his own Spiritual Gathering Halo to support the thirteen members of the two Demon Hunt Squads. Chapter 227 - Bloody Battle! Real Core of the Team (I)

Chapter 227: Bloody Battle! Real Core of the Team (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen was the only person within the two teams that was capable of using Spiritual Gathering Halo. It was a secret skill he chose to learn specifically for the sake of the team. After the crisis above the carriages roof was temporarily settled, he had no choice but to return to the side of the teams tomand them. It was clearly visible that no matter whether it was in the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad or the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, everyone waspletely blinded by the desire to kill. The 21st Demon Hunt Squad was still a bit better off. For the time being, Wang Yuanyuan had yet to unleash her Gigantic Divine Soul Shields real power, and Sima Xian restrained himself from using Madness. But those from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, including Li Xin, were already going all out. Splendid radiances broke out nonstop, as they ughtered the demons frantically. The eyes of the youngdy Bai Xiaomo had already turned red. Chanting one incantation after another, she gave birth to mad surges of thistles and thorns. Her body was already surrounded by a dozen nts able tounch piercing thorns, and the pods that caused enemies to slow down were present in the quantity of seven or eight. Her cute little face was already pale, but even so, she kept chanting without pausing at all. Without a doubt, she had already overexerted herself. If she kept going, she would endanger her own life. Long Haochen leapt down from the carriage, and with a swiftteral movement, dashed in front of Bai Xiaomo. He pushed his shoulder against her back and immediately interrupted her incantation. What are you doing? Bai Xiaomo turned around, and shouted very fiercely at Long Haochen. Long Haochen replied furiously, Have you forgotten my warning? You have to economize you spiritual energy! Do you think you are able to kill all those demons? Protecting ourselves is currently our most fundamental goal. Get lost! Do you think you have the right to tell me what I should do? My father and mother both died at the hands of those bastardly Birdy Demons, you know?! Back off, thisdy doesnt need you to look after her. Pouch. Lifting his hand, Long Haochen pped Bai Xiaomo with enough force that she fell to the ground, Bastard! Do you think your life only belongs to yourself? In this team battle, even if you dont care whether you die or not, dont tell me you dont mind causing yourrades death? From now on, you are not allowed to cast any more spells, or else, Ill beat you up. Long Haochens voice was full of unquestionable fury. After dishing out these words, he dashed to the front with a side step, and kicked Dian Yan back into line, while sweeping the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand. Then, he hit Wang Yuanyuans shield to produce a loud bang. I want you to get into formation NOW! Are you looking for death? As he gave thismand, Long Haochens body burst out with golden tyrannical bursts of light. Sweeping his two heavy swords, he produced two Light Thorns, that were turned into Holy Sword Light Thorns with the help from Yatings amplification. His attack cut seven or eight Berserk Demons in half at once. At the same time, sunlight fire erupted from his body and aimed at the Birdy Demons in the sky. With this offensive, he bought hisrades some time to take a breather and reorganize their force. They had already constantly fought for a whole duration of ten minutes, but only now, as they finally paused, everyone discovered that they already found it extremely hard to breathe. Although no one sustained injuries, their series of full power attacks hadrgely consumed their internal and external spiritual energy. Long Haochen turned around and coldly swept his nce over everyone present, Starting from now, whoever vites my orders will immediately be banned from this squad. A fireball of over half a meter in diameter suddenly came from the sky. It struck a point close to Long Haochen and obliterated several demons with a violent explosion. This fireball had been initiated by Haoyue, from the top of the carriage, to protect them. Long Haochen turned around once again to confront the demons. In his hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light had been withdrawn and was exchanged with the Holy Spirit Shield. As soon as it appeared, it released the supplementary effect of the Holy Spirit Set, causing a white drizzle to halo around everyones bodies, further adding the effects of Spiritual Gathering Halo. The effects were immediately perceivable, and the thirteen members of the two Demon Hunt Squads felt their breath loosening up. Li Xin, Yi Jun, you will be in charge of aerial defense. Lin Xin, release Repelling Ring of Fires at my signal against the clustered enemies. Dian Yan, follow me to confront the enemy. Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, you two take care of the nks. Caier, Han Daosi, adapt your positioning to the situation. Disperse! These orders were of course directed at the two Demon Hunt Squads. At this time, Long Haochen finally tookmand over the two teams for real. With extraordinary efficiency and resolve, such that no one dared refute his words, he incorporated everyone from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. From his fight at the carriages roof, they had already clearly witnessed the formidable strength Long Haochen disyed in battle. In particr, the 4th Demon Hunt Squads Demon Hunters learned to their astonishment that Long Haochen actually turned out to be even stronger than they imagined in their wildest dreams. Above all, at the time the twelve Grand Birdy Demons were disposed of, the shock of witnessing this scene was already a lot more violent than any speech. When Long Haochen jumped down from the carriage to rejoin their battle formation and shouted at them in such a way, not even sparing his own allies from his harsh rebuke, hepletely shocked everyone who had been fighting with such bloodthirst. But he waspletely right! Now was not the time topete over the amount of killed enemies. Not when their immediate and much more pressing priority was to make it back alive. From the beginning, everyone from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad only saw obeying Long Haochens orders as lip-service, and the many demons before their eyes simply signified contribution points! Further adding the deep hatred everyone had for these demons, as well as their cruel and overbearing conduct, they naturally lost control over their urge to mindlessly ughter the enemy. At this moment, Long Haochen appeared suddenly, renounced his most powerful attacks to shift to his Guardian Knight mode, while supporting the whole team with the supplementary function of his Holy Spirit Armor and the Spiritual Gathering Halo. Listening to Long Haochens rebuking shouts, their killing intent faded away at great speed, and everyone unconsciously acted ordingly to his orders. BangC The Holy Spirit Shield was used to block, repelling two Berserk Demons. Long Haochenpletely abstained from attacking, only using both the Holy Spirit Shield and the Holy Spirit Sword for defense, meanwhile relying on his own power to resist the iing enemies. From the previous battle, hispanions energy consumption was enormous, and they now needed time to recover their spiritual energy and rest their bodies, otherwise, how would they break out afterwards? Thus, he could only do his utmost to strive for buying more time for hispanions with his strength alone. From the rear, it could be clearly seen that Long Haochens feet moved in a particr rhythm: with speed, efficiency, and more importantly, bnce. He was just like an unyielding wall extending over a range of ten meters. He would instantly appear wherever an enemy tried to charge, and stop it before it could intrude. Divine Obstructions golden glint uninterruptedly covered his body and only when this golden radiance would reach its peak, he would asionallyunch a Light Thorn, reaping the demons lives while swiftly retreating. Though his Spiritual Gathering Halo was enveloping their group nonstop, it could be said that at this time, Long Haochens disy belonged to the ultimate achievements of Guardian Knights at the rank of Earth Knight. And this was after one moment ago, he proved on the roof of the carriage that he was also a formidable Retribution Knight. In a team, a single powerhouses influence was in itself not so important, but a great leader was the real core and soul of a team. Long Haochen was now using action to show hispanions what they should do. The other twelve were also excellent figures of the Temple Alliance, but at this very moment, in their eyes, Long Haochen seemed to have reached another level. Even Caier was no exception to that. Perhaps, with the use of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, Caiers fighting strength would be able to surpass Long Haochens like before, but be it in regard of observation skills or talent asmander, she was still far beyondparison with Long Haochen. This observation was donepletely without rtion to her feelings towards him, but were based purely on objective judgement. Caier suddenly realized that even if Long Haochen and herself werent in such close rtionship, as long as they ended up in the same team, he would still have be its final captain. His speed of growth was just monstruous. From the carriages roof, Leng Xiao was also observing Long Haochen. The death of the twelve Grand Birdy Demons gave her ample time to make her preparations, and the ordinary demons that came in, even though monstrous in numbers, werent any threat to her. _Who the hell is that youth? Since when has there been such a character in Sis caravan? Is he really only at the fifth step? And what is that three-headed magical beast in the end? Why does he cause me such palpitation? It seems that this dominance directly originates from my blood vessels? But, no, its impossible, my bloodline is already the most noble one in existence! Even the bloodline of the most powerful human powerhouse cannot possibly surpass mine!_ Yue Ye was still silently staying seated on the roof. Her eyes were still attentively watching the scroll floating in front of her, as if the external world waspletely unrted to her. A rich purple color rose up frantically, as the purple moon in the sky became iparably distinct. Her chanting scale slowed down, bing even heavier. The air carried a faintly more humid scent, which was caused by Yue Yus thickly condensed magic essence. The bright purple moon shifted back to a ck color, and the horizon simrly grew darker. A long and mournful hiss resounded in the sky, and immediately, a golden bolt of lightning suddenly shot out of nowhere, directly striking at Yue Ye. Leng Xiao was shocked. Her figure shing, she blocked the attack meant for Yue Ye. On her staff, the iparably intense blood-colored light took the shape of a shield, repelling the sudden golden ray of light. With a loud rumbling sound, golden-colored snakes dispersed all around, and Leng Xiaos shield was smashed to pieces. Even her body was hit by that golden bolt of lightning and her legs went soft, almost causing her to fall from the roof. In the air, a golden silhouette swooped down like a hurricane. That was also a Birdy Demon, and quite a terrifying one at that. His whole body was of a glinting golden color, and thence in his hand also took the shape of a golden lightning bolt. Approximately two meters tall, he had a pair of golden wings at his back, filled with dazzling golden lightning. He dived fast in Leng Xiaos direction. A Golden Birdy Demon Among the entire Birdy Demons n, there would only be three of them at most, and each of them was a n leader. This Golden Birdy Demon didnt seem to possess the strength of the eighth step, but was at least at the peak of the seventh step. Spraying out lightning, its body was filled with overbearing power.

Chapter 228: Bloody Battle! Real Core of the Team (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales HouuC Leng Xiao suddenly looked up, letting out a mournful dragon cry. A domineering red glint immediately erupted from her body. It was quite baffling, that after this formidable Golden Birdy Demon saw thatyer of red, he immediately stopped in midair and stared at it, bewildered. Leng Xiao also became different. Her fiery figure grewrger, and immediately, ck scales emerged from her skin, soon covering her entire body. From these scales, a formidable and hard to describe aura was unleashed. That aura didnt originate from her own personal strength, but was the auraing along with her bloodline. Lowly Birdy Demon, for you to dare act against me, you must be tired of living. Leng Xiao shouted intrepidly. The Golden Birdy Demon aside, none of the other Birdy Demons dared tounch further attacks at her. The Golden Birdy Demons eyes shed, before he suddenly let out human words with his sharp voice, Despicable human that dares to pass yourself off as a descendant of the Devil Dragon race, just go to hell! As he said this, he elerated even further, charging straight at Leng Xiao. Leng Xiao knew that Yue Ye was absolutely right: since these three tribes of the Nareiks Province had the courage to act in such ways, they would not have any scruples until the very end. They clearly didnt n to keep a single witness alive, regardless of their status or identity. Her demonstration of power had already no effect on them at all. Sis Yue, you have to finish it faster! Leng Xiao secretly called out. She directed all her power into her legs and charged forward to face that Golden Birdy Demon. It could be clearly seen that, at that moment, Leng Xiaos whole body was covered with deep ck scales, and on her shoulders, her knees, her back as well as her arms, sharp and pointy thorns extended. Apanying her dashing figure was a blood coloredyer of light, covering her entire body. With the courage of the desperate, she faced the Golden Birdy Demon whose power caused a pressure far surpassing her own. At the same time Leng Xiao faced those troubles, below, Long Haochen also encountered a powerful enemy. A peculiar Berserk Demon,pletely covered in scarlet scales, rushed to his front,unching frantic attacks. This Berserk Demon had an imposing build, along with a height of over three meters. He stood as straight as a mountain. His sharp arms, more than 1.5 meters in length, swept with terrifying prating power at Long Haochen. Dang C Dang C Dang. After blocking three consecutive blows, Long Haochen was pushed three steps back. Each of these steps left a deep mark on the ground, and the demons terrifying strength left three deep dents on his Holy Spirit Shield. Only by relying on Divine Obstructions power three times in a row, further adding the Light Elemental Fairys and Han Yus supportive abilities, was he barely able to resist these attacks. Lin Xin reacted fast. He stopped releasing the Resisting Ring of Fire, and instead cast an elemental shield to reinforce Long Haochens defense. Luc Xis Sacred Light Shield was also triggered at the same time, covering Long Haochen during the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons fourth strike. What impressed the others the most was that when facing such a powerful enemy, Long Haochen actually triggered his Saint Spiritual Stove with no hesitation at all. With a white glow, this Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon was linked to him. The Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon before their eyes was the same as the Golden Birdy Demon that suddenly appeared in front of Leng Xiao: one of the realmanders of the attacking army. For his attack to be that hard to counter with Long Haochens Divine Obstruction, the strength of this Berserk Demon was clearly already at the seventh step. By chance, this enemy was only at the first stage of the seventh step, with a spiritual energy roughly at the 10,000th level. The reason for the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons name was not the color of their blood. In fact, among demons, none had pure-red-colored blood. But when Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons attacked, their whole body would be covered with an intense bloody red glow, and their pair of sharp edged forelimbs would turn scarlet red as well, which led to this name. The prative power of his attacks was extremely strong, and even with the supplementary effect of the Holy Spirit Protection, Long Haochens shield received serious damage. Long Haochen felt deeply sorry for his own shield, but he had no other choice than to block wholeheartedly. Other than him, none of the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads had the ability to stop this demon of the seventh step. No matter what, he couldnt budge. He could only try to block it with all his strength. Confronting this powerful enemy, Long Haochens strength emergedpletely. In regard to his abilities, he onlybined the Holy Filter Shield with Divine Obstruction. However, how could his disy of strength be summarized with only those two abilities? As his illusory steps became firmer, every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground. The Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons speed and strength surpassed his by far, but Long Haochen blocked him simply by relying on Divine Obstruction, reducing his crazy advancing speed and hindering him from advancing to the side. Under the influence of the Saint Spiritual Stove, this powerful demon of the seventh step wasnt able to harm the others before defeating Long Haochen. Long Haochens footwork had been passed on to him by Long Xingyu. That means that although he was at that moment demonstrating the epitome of a Guardian Knights utility, he still prefered using a Retribution Knights footwork. This footwork had been self-created by Long Xingyu, and Long Haochen added slight variations to it after honing this skill for a few years. It was called Nine Long Footworks. The so-called Nine Long Footworks consisted of nine kinds of steps, suiting different types of battles. For instance, at the time Long Haochen was confronting the joint attacks of a great number of enemies, he used the nimblest of the nine steps, the Mild Long Footwork, suited for crowd battles. And now that he was facing a single powerful enemy, he used the steadiest of the Nine Long Footworks, the sturdy Suppressing Long Footwork. Never look down on the difference in footwork. Good footwork is of crucial importance during battle: it does not only strengthen the own stance, but also weakens the enemys attacks, and permits the user to control the pace of the battle. If the only engaging enemy was this Scarlet Blooded Berserk, the other members of the Demon Hunt Squad would have already encircled him after Long Haochen blocked him. This way, they may have prevailed over this Berserk Demon by themselves. But unfortunately, they were now facing an enormous army of demons, and although Long Haochen was holding the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon in check, he was also forced to focus on him, while the ordinary Berserk Demons and Birdy Demons rushed in without stop. Dian Yan was also a Shield Warrior, and the shield in his hand was a lotrger than Long Haochens Holy Spirit Shield. Nevertheless, the gap between Long Haochen and himself was too distinct. Before the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon appeared, Long Haochen confronted and stopped all the surrounding enemies on an area of a length over ten meters by himself, but Dian Yan was currently only able to stop them on an area of three meters, despite being a warrior at the fifth step as well. To stop these attacks, he already needed all his strength. But the area that he covered was clearly not wide enough to stop the enemies from attacking hisrades. Within the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, Han Yu reacted immediately to the changing situation. At the moment Long Haochen went to face the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon, Han Yu charged forward sweeping his heavy shield, to cover the fronts defense. They were after all fighting with their backs facing the carriage, and thus didnt have to worry about their rear defense. A light emerged from Han Yus forehead, spread around and caused the dozen of Berserk Demons to temporarily enter a sluggish state. Sweeping the heavy sword in his right hand horizontally, he produced a glinting Light Thorn that immediately cut the Berserk Demons throats. They died but their bodies didnt immediately fall to the ground, still blocking the path of the next wave of iing Berserk Demon fighters. The Demonic Eye appeared above Han Yu, shaped like an enormous hovering eyeball. The ability it used couldnt be considered incredibly powerful, as it was nothing more than a mental shock. But against those simple-minded Berserk Demons, that only possessed well pronounced muscles but almost no intelligence, it had great effect. The support-focused Han Yu was steadily guarding his side of the frontline. During the first attack of the demon army, Han Yu had been the only one among the two squads to have followed Long Haochens orders. He hadnt attacked the enemy with his full strength, and furthermore remained at his position at the back. In the past, because of Long Haochens excellence and great strength, in addition to his positioning as the rear guard, Han Yu rarely had the opportunity to face the enemies at the front. Now, his battle strength as a Guardian Knight fully emerged, and the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad discovered for the first time how formidable Han Yus strength really was. Maybe he was still inferior to Long Haochen, but their gap wasnt that wide. That was a knight of the fifth step! They couldnt help but feel puzzled: why didnt such a formidable knight at the fifth step enter the top sixty of the Demon Hunt Squad Competition? And why did he choose to be Long Haochens retainer instead. BangC Leng Xiaos body abruptly fell from the sky, violently striking the carriages roof. But this carriage was indeed tough, and was unexpectedly not damaged at all from such an impact. Only Yue Yes body was shaken as the purple light covering it trembled. Yue Ye was clearly reaching the most crucial part of the spell. The intense purple glow on her body had already disappeared, and the colored scroll filled with mysteries kept unfolding, and was about to reach its end. It looked close to being sessful! Leng Xiaos strength was indeed great; even when confronting powerhouses of the sixth step, she still managed to resist thanks to her formidable bloodlines strength, as well as the fighting strength of her tough body. It was a pity that she was now facing a powerhouse at the seventh step. And it was furthermore a Golden Birdy Demon, at the peak of the seventh step and possessing the ability to fly. Although the aura she released could restrict her opponent partially, the gap in strength was still too wide. After pushing Leng Xiao back, the Golden Birdy Demon didnt pursue to finish her off, but held the goldennce tightly in his hand, preparing tounch a direct attack against Yue Ye. With an ear shrieking sound, that goldennce unexpectedly created two ripples in the air, twisting itpletely and bursting out with a thunder-like exploding sound. Even for this Golden Birdy Demon, this was already an all-out attack. Seeing that Yue Ye was about toplete the spell being a powerhouse at the peak of the seventh step, he naturally sensed how terrifying its power would be. If not for this reason, he would never even have intervened personally. It was true that Leng Xiao was also a threat that he had to dispose of, but his immediately most important priority was to interrupt Yue Yes spell. As long as he seeded, this battle was bound to end soon after. Leng Xiaos face looked pale and her body was already numb from the impact after that Golden Birdy Demons attack. Regardless of how many moves she had left to use, she would never make it in time to save Yue Ye anymore. A sh of despair already appeared in her blood-colored eyes. Chapter 229 - Bloody Battle! Real Core of the Team (III)

Chapter 229: Bloody Battle! Real Core of the Team (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Just at this critical moment, a white glow shot up from below. It wasnt aimed to intercept that golden lightning attack, but instantly hit the Golden Birdy Demons body instead. A strange scene happened when that iparable golden lightningnce shifted directions just at the instant it was about to pierce the top of Yue Yes head. Instead it swept downwards and was drawn vertically, precisely in Long Haochens direction. This was the riddles solution: at the time Yue Ye was about to die, Long Haochen intervened. He was already putting a great effort into blocking the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon in front of him, but he still used the second ability of his Saint Spiritual Stove, Pull, without any hesitation at all. If anyone else possessed the same abilities as Long Haochen, he wouldnt possibly have chosen this alternative of attracting all the danger to himself. An evolved Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon was already an enormous threat to him; how could he resist a Golden Birdy Demon at the peak of the seventh step in addition to that? This move was simply akin to suicide! But Long Haochen still made this choice. It wasnt his intent to court death, but he did it after considering their current precarious situation. They stood no chance against such a powerful army. Even if those two powerhouses of the seventh step hadnt appeared, and they would only have to confront the Birdy Demons, Berserk Demons, Dual Headed Demonic Eagles, as well as the Demonic Eyed Soldiers that had already broken through the caravans defensive line, their group would still most likely be wiped outpletely. Their only chance of survival lied in Yue Yes hands. Thus, no matter what, Long Haochen would definitely not permit this Golden Birdy Demon to kill Yue Ye. Only if this forbidden spell was reallypleted, would they have some hope to maybe turn the tables. For this reason, regardless of how much pressure Long Haochen would have to face, he seized this chance for hisrades and himself to survive. In an instant, Long Haochens whole body reached the peak of its power and entered a special state. Sweeping his Holy Spirit Shield horizontally, he unexpectedlyunched a violent attack against that Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon, which, at the same time, increased his distance to the Golden Birdy Demon to the utmost. It could clearly be seen that from Long Haochens whole body, purple ripples erupted, and a pair of wings, condensed from spiritual energy, spread at his back. On the Light Elemental Fairy Yatings body, a golden me ignited. Completing her incantation, she directly ced herself over Long Haochens shoulder. Her whole body ascended, covered with that me of light, and rose up to the limit. Thats right, Long Haochen was doing his utmost to fight for thisst chance to save hispanions. In the next instant, right afterunching a shield charge, he reced Holy Spirit Shield with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and immediately afterwards, intensive blue and golden colored light blended together. It instantly formed a sharp edged cone, ready to wee the Golden Birdy Demons all out attack. -sounds of ripples- A cracking sound exploded as the attack hit, and Long Haochen waspletely shaken up. Immediately, blood spurted from his nose, as he was propelled back, shooting rapidly from the sky. Just at that time, the bodies of all the members of the 21st General Grade Demon Hunt Squad lit up with dazzling golden light, andprising Long Haochen, a golden symbol appeared on everyones chests. Caier, Han Yu, Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Yinger and Lin Xin groaned out in pain at the same time, and their bodies swayed violently. The direction where Long Haochen was sent flying was exactly the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons. Turning in midair, he unleashed Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lightpletely, violently striking the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons chest. This blows extraordinary power broke out instantly, like a prative rain pouring down it brightly struck the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons body, and blood flowed from dozens of wounds. This blow had been prepared by Long Haochen for some time, and contained all his strength at once. The purple figure originated from his fusion with Haoyue, further adding the full strength assistance of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating. As a result, Long Haochens cultivation level temporarily shot up to the level of a Radiant Knight at the sixth step. Additionally, right before thepletion of his fusion with Haoyue, a glint of red light covered Long Haochens body. It was the activation of the ability Sacrifice. The amplificationing from this ability was extremely formidable, but it also came with an equally high price. Nevertheless, at this time, Long Haochen didnt have any other choice, and could only stake everything. He was not only confronting the Golden Birdy Demons fatal blow, but also the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons counter. If he didnt manage to dispose of those powerful enemies of the seventh step, who on their side would be able to block their attacks? Would he let Caier assume the duty of holding them back? Definitely not; no matter what, Long Haochen wouldnt forget the oath he swore to Caier that he would protect her for all his life. How could he let his most beloved person face such a crisis? For this reason, he chose to use Sacrifice, and added to thisst attack another ability called Last Gambit. The Hibiscus of Lights first hit was directed to counter the Golden Birdy Demons attack, and through the bond of life connecting them through the Soul Linking Chains, hispanions shared Long Haochens pain. Having surpassed the 3,000th level of internal spiritual energy, Long Haochen was already at a whole new levelpared to their previous battles. At the same time the immense and terrifying power struck him back, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights terrible bursting power erupted a second time. The power of Last Gambit plus Bright Rain-Thrusting Hibiscus ferociously struck the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons body once again, but Long Haochen also suffered the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons blow: a sharp stab hit his right shoulder and pierced it vigorously. The other members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad simultaneously moaned in pain once again. But the pain resulting from having his body pierced and bleeding profusely could obviously not bepletely shared. Long Haochen still wasnt stopped by that. Violently stirring Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights power, he stood firm once again, and performed a vertical sweeping motion with both of his hands. As he forced himself to drain hisst reserves of spiritual energy under the influence of Sacrifice, a terrible pure golden me emerged, and formed two enormous Light Thorns that swept forward horizontally, turning at least thirty Berserk Demons and Birdy Demons to ashes in its way, annihting them in one blow. Long Haochens body swayed. Nevertheless, the instant after heunched this attack, his gaze returned to the carriages roof. He already did his utmost, and used his entire strength to get rid of the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon and repel the Golden Birdy Demon. He had sessfully bought some time for hispanions and Yue Ye. As for whether Yue Ye would manage toplete her spell in time or not, was already not within his grasp anymore. A ck figure jumped onto the carriages roof, forming a dark golden luster that rose to the sky. Unrestrained and intense killing intent poured out of her and caused even the Golden Birdy Demon to feel threatened. It was Caier. Caier understood more clearly than anyone else how high the price that Long Haochen had to pay was, as well as the reason why he still made this choice. After Long Haochen had been repelled by that golden lightningnce, the Saint Spiritual Stoves effects had been interrupted because the distance between Long haochen and the demon extended fifty meters Without paying attention to the situation below, the freed Golden Birdy Demon that lost his weapon still shot up without the slightest hesitation, throwing himself at the carriage to attack Yue Ye. Caier chose this critical moment to take action as well. Despotic Stab! This was Caiers response to this Golden Birdy Demon. At that split second, Caiers entire body turned into a dusky brilliance and her ice cold killing intent burst out uncontrobly, taking on a material shape. It bombarded the Golden Birdy Demon and caused him to slow down greatly. Next, Caier immediately struck him ferociously. If ones eyesight was sufficient, he would notice how magnificent her fighting skills as an assassin were. Being an assassin, Caier didnt have powerful defensive abilities like Long Haochens Divine Obstruction. But what she had was an iparable dexterity, speed, and terrifying attacks. Jumping up high in the sky, she struck her Despotic Stab against the Golden Birdy Demons right w. Then, Caiers body instantly turned into an afterimage. She didnt choose to stubbornly block this Golden Birdy Demon from the front, but instead relied on her speed. The Despotic Stabs power just disappeared before hitting again, this time from the side. In the next instant, the Golden Birdy Demon only smashed Caiers afterimage,ing from the use of Doppelganger, into shreds. Appearing at the Golden Birdy Demons back, Caiers chest erupted with innumerable white glows, bombarding that Golden Birdy Demons back ferociously. Suddenly, her body came to a standstill in midair, and on her back, countless grey radiances emerged, forming a spiral and condensing before taking the shape of a golden dagger in her left hand. Clearly, this was an ability simr to the knights Storing Power. But to be able to use it while stagnating in midair, although she didnt have any flying ability, her dexterity was already at an abnormal level. Under ordinary circumstances, even if Caier had used Shadow Doppelganger inbination with the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove when confronting a powerhouse at the peak of the seventh step like that Golden Birdy Demon, she still wouldnt pose any threat to the opponent. But the current situation didnt permit this Golden Birdy Demon to give any consideration to Caier, or to fend off her attacks. This Golden Birdy Demons senses were extremely sharp, and he understood thoroughly that Yue Yes spell could bepleted at any time now. Even if he had to sustain injuries, he had to stop her frompleting it no matter what. For this reason, even though he knew that Caier already reached his back, he didnt pay attention to her at all. Relying on his bodys physical power, he chose to bear the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stoves firepower. It was an undeniable fact that the Golden Birdy Demons physical strength was just too domineering. Even an ordinary magical beast of the eighth step wouldnt be able topare with it. Even the incredible offensive power of the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove could only cause a few bleeding scratches, but didnt inflict any really threatening wounds. Caier had leapt over seven meters high into the air, and now that she had exchanged ces with that Golden Birdy Demon, his distance to Yue Ye only amounted to about five meters. In a blink of an eye, he would reach her. The Golden Birdy Demons sharp w was already stretched forward, and his attack was about to hit Yue Yes body. Just at this time, the white glow that stopped him previously appeared once again. It was the Saint Spiritual Stove! Was it the so called mutual understanding? The real level of mutual understanding would only show its true colors in a situation of life or death. But wasnt this exactly the case in the current situation? Chapter 230 - Forbidden Spell! The Moon Demon God’s Descent (I)

Chapter 230: Forbidden Spell! The Moon Demon Gods Descent (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales After using Sacrifice and fusing with Hao Yue, Long Haochens spiritual energy was already on the verge of beingpletely depleted. But seeing Caiers actions, he finally used hisst drop of power to give her some assistance. And this was a crucial assistance. Attraction and Pull activated at the same time and the Saint Spiritual Stove forcibly pulled that Golden Birdy Demon down. His sharp w had already lightly grazed Yue Yes head, and had thereby torn some of her hair. Countless grey sparkles took the shape of a dark golden dagger that carried an irresistible killing intent. It violently pierced the Golden Birdy Demons back and instantly found his heart. In spite of the Golden Birdy Demons mad defensive power, this blow was unexpectedly sessful. The Golden Birdy Demon only felt a cold sensation at his back, before his whole body started to spasm violently. Condensing killing intent into a weapon tounch a material attack was something even an assassin at the ninth step would be unable to do. But relying on the Spiritual Stove of Samsaras supportive ability Caier was now able to do it. As the most powerful existence known among spiritual stoves, the possibilities for the use of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara were naturally matchless, and were obviously not as simple as the mere release of the Dagger of Samsara. Havingpleted her fusion with this tyrannical stove, Caier was without a doubt an iparable asset of the teams offensive power. At that time a blood-colored radiance struck the wings of that Golden Birdy Demons and sent that powerhouse at the peak of the seventh step flying. Caiers dagger separated itself from the demon, and with a turning motion, shended safely on the carriage. The purple moon shone brilliantly, imperceptibly increasing Caiers strength, but she only had eyes for a single person below. Long Haochen revealed a gratified look. After Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light finished thest blow, it had directly been retracted into his body. Lifting up his left hand with difficulty, he did a thumbs up in Caiers direction. And at the same time he made that motion, Long Haochens body finally copsed. With a purple flicker of light the fusion ended and Haoyue appeared, separating himself from Long Haochen. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating also immediately returned into Long Haochens chest. It was worth rejoicing that at that time, Haoyue didnt lose his consciousness as well. A soft white glow immediately blossomed, taking the shape of a pure white light beam which enveloped Long Haochens and Haoyues bodies. The one who intervened by activating this healing spell wasnt Han Yu, but Luc Xi from the 4th Demon Hunt Squad. From the start of the battle until now, Luc Xi didnt have any real role in the battle, but he had the clearest understanding of the general situation on the battlefield. Watching Long Haochens and Caiers exceptional performance, he already felt numb. And the healing ability he put to use was the most powerful he was able to cast at the moment. From the white light beams summit, pleasant jingling sounds rang out, and a pure white dual-winged angel gradually came into view. Spreading its wings, it gently drew closer to Long Haochen and Haoyue, and circles of soft colored light entered their bodies at fast speed. At this time, Han Yus healing spell was added as well, but he used a crowd healing ability that affected everyone. Faint golden radiances emerged like a gentle golden rain of light, descending on every member of the two Demon Hunt Squads. Han Yus control was extremely urate, and everyone felt afortable sensation from that healing abilitiys effects. Soon they were filled with an indescribable sense offort. The ability Han Yu just activated was Angels Tears, which he had just learned recently. As for the one Luc Xi disyed, it was the most powerful healing ability for priests at the fifth step, Angels Heart. The wound on Long Haochens shoulder healed at great speed, and his battered body was fabulously being restored. Under the joint use of these two great abilities, Long Haochen finally came back to his senses. He also immediately felt a lot better despite his use of Sacrifice. Rapidly, he took out a pill recovering 500 units of spiritual energy and swallowed it. Even though he knew that it was impossible to recover thoroughly in such a short time, he at least managed to keep himself awake. He had to remain in a state in which he would be able tomand the entire team without too much difficulty. The Golden Birdy Demon hadnt been fatally wounded by Caier, but because Leng Xiaos attack sent him flying, he didnt manage to stop Yue Ye. And this terrible forbidden spell, everyone waited for ages toplete, finally activated. With one brushing sound after another, the scroll floated up and the purple moon hovering above Yue Yes head suddenly shot upwards. Immediately following, points of purple ripples spread through the night. In the sky, this moon suddenly erged by several folds, and an iparably deste power broke out, as that enormous purple moon turned into a gigantic cross-shaped pir. As the purple light spread, that enormous pir descended. Above that enormous pir, countless bright moons were formed, portraying the shapes of the different phases of the moon. There were full moons, waning moons, and waxing moons but none wascking the magnificent splendor of the bright luminous moonlight. The split second after that enormous pir connected with the earth, the air seemed topletely freeze, and spreading from Yue Yus carriage the pir erged to over a hundred meters in diameter, enveloping the whole caravan. It was as if arge moon of a hundred meters in diameter had fallen to the earth, and every demon it touched, be it Birdy Demons or Berserk Demons, as well as the iparably tyrannical Golden Birdy Demon, instantly came to a standstill under the light of those various moons. They simply turned into purple sculptures right where they stood,pletely unable to move at all. The only exceptions to this effect were the two Demon Hunt Squads, as well as the surviving dozen of mages. Of course, it also didnt affect Leng Xiao. Yue Yes figure flickered. At the time the scrolls magic was unleashed, she had entirely disappeared. The demon armies that were previously advancing in mighty waves all became motionless, and this even applied to the most fiery and frantic Berserk Demons, whose eyes were now filled with terror. Within the pir a hundred meter tall silhouette gradually appeared, and at this time, it didnt only frighten the demon army, but also terrified Long Haochen and hispanions. _What is this? What is this enormous pir of light?_ Even though it caused them no direct harm, they all recognized it. _This This is clearly a demon god pir!_ Even if it was only the projection of a demon god pir, the aura emitted from it was real. And as far as Long Haochen was concerned, the aura released from this demon god pir was second only to the Demon God Emperor Feng Xius Devil Dragon Pir, and a lot greater than that of the three other demon gods he had encountered. _Was it the effect of that forbidden spell? A spell leading to the summon of a demon god pir? Could it be that Yue Ye really summoned a demon god?_ Quickly, Long Haochen obtained a reply to this question. Yue Yes forbidden spell didnt summon a real demon god, only the projection of a demon god and nothing more. He could be sure because the enormous figure that emerged gradually became more and more distinct: and turned out to be Yue Ye herself. The current Yue Ye calmly floated in midair, her immense body perfectly harmonious. Her hair was now of a morous silver, and she was d in brimming purple with countless ripples moving her long skirt. Raising her arms, her voice, brimming with power, seemed to transcend time and space, For profaning our Yues merchant group in such a despicable manner, you shall suffer Yues punishment. A round moon descended from the sky and hovered close to the ground, right in front of their eyes. Instantly, it spread like a purple ocean. The purple moon erged and as if purifying everything, his light melted all the corpses, be it human or demon, at astonishing speed. Even more surprisingly, the army of many thousands of trembling demons outside of the white moons influence didnt show any intent to escape. They just stood still, as if they were simply waiting for the moonlights baptism. Luc Xis voice was somewhat trembling, his eyes evidently filled with fear, This Isnt this the Moon Demon God, Agares? The Moon Demon God Agares was the second ranked of the seventy-two demon gods, second only to the Demon God Emperor and bearing the role of his most trusted aide. His status among demonkind was equivalent to that of a prime minister, and he was their most powerful existence aside from the Demon God Emperor. His ability was almostpletely lying in the magic field, and it could be said that he was the most powerful user of darkness magic at the present age. His body appearedpletely humanoid, and his most distinctive feature was his grey hair, streaked with purple. Everyone in Long Haochens group felt extremely dazzled. In the shine of the glowing moonlight, they could see that the distant army of fierce demons was fading away at great speed. Eliminate these demons. The cold voice that was silently transmitted to the ears of the thirteen Demon Hunt Squad members was precisely Yue Yes voice. Just as Long Haochens group thought, the forbidden spells real scope of effect only covered a certain range. Outside this range, the forbidden spell only had a restricting effect. With a ck flicker of light, Caier was the first to awaken from her state of shock, and also the first to act. She immediately focused on the greatest threat, the Golden Birdy Demon. Restricted by this purple moon, that formidable Golden Birdy Demon could only contract his muscles, unable to defend himself as if simply waiting to be ughtered. The others reactions werent slow either, and the fight resumed once again with a certain difference. This time it was a one-sided ughter initiated by them. Preserve your spiritual energy as far as possible while you kill the enemy! This time its merely about contribution points. Long Haochenmanded in a low voice, just loud enough that hisrades all heard it. He was currently unable to join their ughter. He only sat cross-legged and in a meditative state on Haoyues back. It couldnt be denied that Luc Xis healing ability was extremely powerful, but even so, he wasnt able topensate for Long Haochens energy consumption while using the ability Sacrifice. ording to Long Haochens estimate, even with the full support of a priest with top-notch healing abilities like Luc Xi, he would still need three days to recover to his peak condition after fusing with Haoyue and suffering such severe injuries. By chance, the majority of hisrades still preserved some strength. Nevertheless, their following route would be even harder now. A diameter of a hundred meters was arge area, but in the end, all the demons within the scope were stunned. The two Demon Hunt Squads acted in coordination with the remaining mages, and soon enough, all the demons were killed. As each and every demon died, the purple glows on their bodies gradually disappeared. Caier naturally carried the Golden Birdy Demons corpse back and threw it at Lin Xin. After this satisfying ughter, the six members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad wore unprecedentedly gentle expressions. Chapter 231 - Forbidden Spell! The Moon Demon God’s Descent (II)

Chapter 231: Forbidden Spell! The Moon Demon Gods Descent (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Moon Demon Gods descent was apanied by an iparably strong aura of power, but the weird thing was that it appearedpletely silent. That massive purple-colored moon retracted at fast speed, and in a little moment, all its splendor vanished. All that remained was nothing more but a wide halo of light. The moonlight had spread to a diameter of a thousand meters, and within this scope, not a single living enemy remained, be it on the ground or in the sky. After they underwent this forbidden spells bombardment, only about 10,000 demons were left of this enormous army of 50,000. And facing this purple halo, they werent able to muster the slightest courage to attack for now. Xiaoxiao, drive the carriage. Mages, get in, and close range fighters, follow. Its time to break out! Yue Yes figure appeared once again on the carriages roof. Her face was deathly pale, of an unhealthy white color. She trembled as she hunched forward, and blood was flowing from the seven apertures of her snowy white face. Regardless of how beautiful she originally was, right now, she just appeared unsightly and mournful. But even at that time, with her body being close to copse, she still remained clear-headed as she made the necessary arrangements. Just like Long Haochen guessed, the moment right after the forbidden spellspletion was the best chance to break out. The great army of demons was in such a terrified state that even though arge quantity of goods had to be abandoned, this was their best opportunity to escape. Long Haochen gave his teammates a nce and they immediately mounted the carriage without hesitation. This carriage was extremely broad, and would have no problem amodating twenty people. It wasnt pulled by ordinary horses either, but Unwavering Manes. This sort of magical beast didnt have any offensive abilities, but possessed an extremely good endurance, and fit all types of terrains. Even in the desert, they would be a lot more useful than camels; additionally, their imposing build made them at least one third of a meter taller than ordinary fine horses. Yue Yes carriage was pulled by sixteen Unwavering Manes. Although the previous battle was quite severe, the Unwavering Manes were fabulously protected by the mages, which was the absolute order Yue Ye gave them. The Unwavering Manes were after all their ultimate hope for breaking out. No one contested, and of the Demon Hunt Squads, Luc Xi, Yi Jun, Bai Xiaomo, Lin Xin and Chen Yinger took the lead to hurriedly enter in the carriage. It could be said that, if not for the exceptional disy of the two Demon Hunt Squads, the twenty mages of the caravan wouldnt have survived this attack. In particr, Long Haochens heroic disy of self-sacrifice caused these mages to admire him sincerely. The close-quarters vocations didnt get on, but surrounded the carriage. Long Haochen spoke to the nearby Li Xin, Sis, lets go to the front and rush out from there. The other close-quarters fighters, get on. Defend the carriage! All the close quarters fighters currently belonging to the two Demon Hunt Squads immediatelyplied to Long Haochens order. Haoyues six eyes were clearly duller than normal. Before summoning him, Long Haochen had had Haoyue prepare his Essence of the Disorder through their mental connection. Otherwise, how could he attack with such a formidable bursting power in the instant he was summoned? Due to the fact he used an ability of a higher step than his own, in addition to his previous fusion with Long Haochen, he was naturally exhausted. But although his own consumption was quite big, by chance, Haoyues strength grew as a whole since the previous battle, as he evolved to some extent. At the present time, this was what allowed him to maintain a certain fighting strength. Yue Yu jumped with Leng Xiaos support on the coachmans seat. Leng Xiao wasnt familiar with driving a carriage, but she had a very wild natural temper! As she waved the horsewhip, the Unwavering Manes obediently ran into the direction she directed. In this bloody night, they couldnt even pay attention to the direction they were heading to, as their very top priority was to escape. Yue Ye leaned on Leng Xiao and looked at Long Haochen who was riding on Haoyue. Caier didnt enter the carriage, but stood calmly at Yue Yes side. In case Long Haochen was stopped by an enemy, she would undoubtedly be the first one to intervene. Meanwhile, Luc Xi was leaning out of the carriages window, silently waving his staff to send a glinting pure white radiance, enveloping Long Haochen as well as Haoyue. This was the first time Long Haochen enjoyed the full power of the healing a priest at the fifth step could provide. He didnt know what ability Luc Xi was currently using, but with Luc Xis healing, his previous enormous consumption of internal spiritual energy was being restored at an astonishing speed. Even the aftereffects of the use of the ability Sacrifice were also healed. Even if Han Yu learned even more healing abilities, he was in the end a Guardian Knight, and not a real priest. The utility of a formidable priest in a team wasnt something that could be reced that easily. Leng Xiao watched the healing magic being cast at her side and wrinkled her brows, asking in a low voice full of loathing, Are you the one who invited them as guards? Yue Ye shook her head, revealing aplex expression. All the remaining demons werepletely terrified by the previous forbidden spell that appeared to them like an apocalypse, but it was after all an army of 10,000, and one that surrounded them from all directions. Considering their numbers, a confrontation would be unavoidable, if Long Haochens group wanted to break out. Yinger! It could be seen that the distance to the frantic army of demons had reduced to only a hundred meters, as Long Haochen suddenly shouted. Gotcha. Chen Yinger replied in her cute voice. Hearing it, Yue Ye, Leng Xiao as well as the caravans mages didnt find it particrly strange. But the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads were really surprised when they saw this female summoner approach the window. Starting from the beginning of the battle to now, Chen Yinger had only been staying by Lin Xins side, and even if the battle was so intense, she hadnt done anything at all. The 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad somewhat understood the situation, as they knew that this girl was not very reliable as a summoner. They didnt mind it, but what they didnt know was that now that she possessed a contracted beast like the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig, she wasnt so weak anymore. Furthermore, her teammates also remembered the instruction Long Haochen gave her before the fight started. Originally they had thought that he wanted her to intervene the least possible and to preserve her magical crystals. But now that they thought about it, it couldnt be so simple! Otherwise, why would Long Haochen call out to her right at the moment of their sortie? Chen Yingers move was fast. She fed the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig the magical crystal of a magical beast of the fifth step, and the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pigs body suddenly lit up with a silver-colored radiance. This silvery light was different from the one spatial attribute mages usually released. Under normal conditions, their magic would emit a pure silver color, but the ripples surrounding Chen Yinger and her Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig possessed the color of silvery starlight, a quite fantastic color. McDull, formerlyzily nestling against Chen Yingers bosom, ate the magical crystal readily. Then, his spiritual force suddenly metamorphosed. Under the halo of starlight colored magic, his body suddenly floated up from within the carriage. Chen Yinger murmured something in a low voice. While the silvery light was released from the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig, Chen Yingers eyes brilliantly lit up in the same starlight color. Then, everyone around felt the strong mental fluctuations her body emitted inrge numbers. The army of demons was in a fric state, but in the end, they were incredibly dominant in number, and the terror they felt gradually weakened with the disappearance of the forbidden spells effects. As long as they were aroused by the reeking of blood and the prospect of a new battle, their fighting power would very rapidly recover. Breaking out from the encirclement would clearly not be so easy to be done. Leng Xiao and Yue Ye wrinkled their brows: they had already been sparing no efforts, and at that time, Yue Ye couldnt use any force. Her substantial consumption of mental power could already cause her to lose consciousness at any time. Luc Xis healing wasnt directed at her, but even if he was willing to heal her, she wouldnt dare ept! Regardless of whether it was Yue Ye or Leng Xiao, the two of them had darkness as their main attribute. epting to be healed by a priests sacred magic, wouldnt it be akin to courting death? As Leng Xiao urged on the draught beasts, her mental capacity was already reaching its limit, and in the carriage, the caravans mages tried to call forth the little spiritual energy they had left, making their preparation to release their magical power to attack at any time. From the looks of it, in the top front, Long Haochen and Li Xin would soon encounter the first demons. But suddenly, a resonant dragon cry resounded, shaking thempletely. In the dim night, an indistinct ck silhouette appeared, and the approaching dragon roaring along didnt miss to attract all the demons attention. Thick scales, immense horns spiralling above its head, a pair of terrible wings that almost seemed able to cover the entire sky, and a frightful aura released from its eyes. That roaring creature was impressively a dark dragon. And its immense wings were suddenly pped as it dove down as imposingly as a mountain towards the demon army. For every demon, it was the rule that the strongest dominated the weak ones, this was the cruel reality of the food chain system. And the one on the top of this chain was without a doubt the Demon God Emperor. The Demon God Emperor had his own n that shared his bloodline, which was called the Devil Dragon n. This was also the reason why he was called Devil Dragon Emperor, as devil dragons was the name given to the ones belonging to his tribe. The name humans gave them was a bit different. They simply called them ck Dragons. The fact that the Demon God Emperor was able to rule the entire demon race in a such a stable manner wasnt only due to his own strength, but it was also rted to his own ns extremely important status. The devil dragons werent numerous; even at their flourishing age, they didnt exceed 2,000. But even a newly born ck Dragon would be innately a powerhouse of the seventh step. A grown-up one would reach the terrible eighth step, without need for specific efforts. As for the ones that would reach the ninth step, they were the direct subordinates of the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, the so called ck Dragon Forces. Chapter 232 - Forbidden Spell! The Moon Demon God’s Descent (III)

Chapter 232: Forbidden Spell! The Moon Demon Gods Descent (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Devil Dragon n had an incredibly slow reproducing speed. They would be able to give birth only once every hundred years, and there would only be a single descendant every. Maybe it was because of their status as demons, but these ck Dragons method for giving birth was entirely different from the other dragons. They werent born as eggs, but as a fetus, and this was the first reason why the Devil Dragons would be so powerful upon birth. Every time they gave birth, a single Devil Dragon would be born. Twins would only appear once every 1,000 years. These ck Dragons strength could be judged simply by looking at their size. The ones whose length was below 20 meters were at the so-called young stage. Between twenty meters and fifty meters, they would be at the adult generation, corresponding to the eighth step. And above the 50 meters of length, they were the Devil Dragon Emperors direct subordinates. Among them, the Devil God Emperor Feng Xiu had twenty Devil Dragon Kings as his subordinate, whose size was above 80 meters, which would reportedly correspond to a spiritual energy over the 30,000. From this, the strength of the Devil Dragons could be clearly seen. If not for the Demon God yers formidable equipment, they wouldnt even be a threat for the Demon God Emperor. And at this very moment, from the massive silhouette of a size over 50 meters thatunched the dragon cry a moment earlier, a faint dim purple glint shone. It didnt have any overbearing aura, but at the moment this massive figure arrived above the carriages roof and unfolded its wings, the demon armys formation waspletely broken. It was clearly a ck Dragon, direct soldier of the Demon God Emperor, that they were facing. Upon realization, his army of the Nareiks Province immediately scattered in panic, in all direction. In these demons thoughts, perhaps even the most powerful human powerhouse wouldnt be so terrifying. A confrontation with the highest existence in their own races food chain could only leave them in total panic. They were totally unable to suppress this fear,ing from the depths of their own body, causing everyone aside from Leng Xiao, Yue Ye, as well as Long Haochen and Chen Yinger to stare nkly. Just like that, this unpierceable natural fortress disappeared. Speed up! Long Haochen shouted out loudly, and below, Haoyue elerated suddenly, arriving to the top front together with Li Xins Rose Unicorn. Leng Xiao unconsciously urged the Unyielding Manes with her whole might. They hurriedly followed Long Haochens lead, pulling the floating carriage. This enormous ck Dragon that appeared in the sky was truly domineering. Just as it appeared, the army of demon waspletely routed, and none of the demons had the courage tounch an attack. Yue Ye whispered to Leng Xiao by her side, Your guardian? Leng Xiao shook her head with a helpless smile, Ive sneaked out toe for this operation, how could there be a guardian for me? That That seems to be a fake one, he doesnt have my nsmens aura on his body. A fake? Yue Ye stared nkly, but with her intelligence, she immediately associated this urrence with Long Haochens previous shout to Chen Yinger. Looking at this young knight seated on a three-headed beasts back, she was at aplete loss. _Who in the end is he? Is he really as young as he looks to be?_ Rushing out at mad speed, they managed to run for a distance close to five kilometers in only ten minutes. Now that the army of demons had already been thrown off far behind, at this time, even if that army wanted to go after them, they wouldnt catch up. In the sky, the intimidating and unequalled ck Dragon disappeared without any omen, and at the same time, a silvery speck of light shone in Chen Yingers eyes. The Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig appeared on Chen Yingers bosom with azy appearance, seemingly totally tired. He shut his two eyes and starting to snore loudly, and on his soft skin, faint traces of silvery light scattered around, causing a change to appear in his aura. The Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pigs method of advancement waspletely different from the other magical beasts. His magical crystal in itself was unable to evolve; it only able to umte energy in its body. Only when going through the use of its imitating and causing the enemies terror could he make some advancement regarding to the nature of this energy. This evolution process was extremelyplex, but clearly, what he experienced just now was a boosting force to his evolution process. As for how long it would take for aplete evolution, it was hard to say. Chen Yinger clearly looked exhausted too, directly sitting on the carriages floor in a cross-legged position. After they had personally witnessed at the condensation of this harmless-looking pig into such a terrifying dragon, everyone started to look at her with different eyes. This female summoner that the 4th Demon Hunt Squads members had originally taken as being a useless person had unexpectedly already be so powerful. This simple fact made theirst feeling of superiority vanishpletely. The Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig was capable of imitating any of the magical beast they encountered previously, in exchange for the consumption of his own spiritual energy. Just now, he had used the Imitation ability, and not the Mirror Image Copy. And in this situation, he actually had a big weakness: he didnt have the aura of a ck Dragon on its body at all. This ck Dragon that he imitated was the one that appeared together with the Demon God Emperor in front of the doors of Exorcist City. But the demon army of the Nareiks Province had already been frightened by the previous forbidden spell. Having experienced this, how could their defensive line not copse when running into the peak existence of their food chains appearance? How could they possibly still be able to keep their calm and pay attention to this ck Dragons aura? And they didnt have anyone that was able to detect a ck Dragons real aura among them. Nheless, even if it was only the external appearance of a ck Dragon that had been imitated, this still came with a massive consumption of spiritual energy. To supplement the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pigs energy, A magical crystal of the fifth step just had to be consumed. Otherwise, he wouldnt be able to produce such an immense illusion. That was the overbearing appearance of a ck Dragon of the ninth step! Some looked up upon Chen Yingers contracted beast, which actually held such a formidable power, but a few admired instead Long Haochen for his foresight, the incredible advance he had in his preparations. Prior to this, as they were defending the carriage, he hadnt let Chen Yinger intervene at all, even in the biggest times of danger. If the ck Dragon had appeared in that timing, they would definitely have won over an important amount of time. Even if they were seen though, they would still have had a far easier time to defend the carriage. But if Chen Yinger had chosen that moment to act, how would they have broken out of the siege withoutplications? An illusory ability would often only have great effects during its first uses, when it wouldnt easily be seen through, but when used multiple times against the same opponent, it could only appear like a joke and nothing more. Giving Long Haochen ast deep nce, Yue Ye finally copsed in Leng Xiaos bosom, sinking into an unconscious state. Hurrying in their journey, they didnt stop for a whole duration of two hours. The danger was still present, and even under Long Haochens lead, they could only run away in a set direction. Even with the Unyielding Manes endurance, after running with such rush for an entire duration of two hours, their speed clearly decreased. Inside of the carriage, everyone seized the moment to grab some rest, as they didnt know how distant the danger was. Luc Xi asionally released magic on Long Haochen and Li Xin, as well as their mounts. Now was clearly not the time for rest. After looking at a wide forest, Long Haochen finally let Haoyue drop his speed, making his way into the carriage. After Haoyue stopped over, the exhausted Unyielding Manes behind him did the same. Although Leng Xiaos body wasnt wounded, after having gone through such a battle and escape, she was extremely tired too, leaning on the carriage behind her back and gasping for breath. Lets rest there. After a hour, we will proceed with our journey. Get something to eat everyone. After Yue Ye lost consciousness, it was as if he had be themander here. Without need for Long Haochens instruction, the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads had already sat in session, gathering together in front of Long Haochen. Sweeping his nce through them, he asked, Has everyone already recovered to some extent? Everyone nodded in session. Although the insides of the carriage were crowded, it was still smooth enough for everyone to have ample rest during the escape of two hour. During the previous battle, they hadnt confronted any of the most powerful enemies, and had only minor injuries. With Luc Xi and Han Yus healing, they had already recovered quite importantly. Long Haochen looked at Dian Yan, appearing full of grief, dering in low voice, My grief. As the chief guard of the caravan, Dian Yans uncle Dian Xuan had certainly been submerged by the demon army. In this time of intensive siege, no one had the ability to save him. Dian Yan didnt utter a word, only lowering his head, his eyes filled with clear feelings of hatred. Sima Xian stood at his side, lifting up his big hand to pat his shoulder. At this time, strong bursts of hatred instantly came out from many of the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads. Among them, too many had lost rtives in the demons hands. Captain Long, are you okay? In the previous battle, your consumption was really too massive. Im afraid that you wont be able to recover in a short time enough. Luc Xi asked Long Haochen with some worry. Long Haochen nodded with a smile, I can still keep going on, thanks a lot for your healing, Captain Luc. Luc Xi shook his head lightly, Theres no need to call me captain. Starting from now, we should only have a single captain. We hope to act as your 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squads subordinates. I already talked over this with my mates just now. We decided to abandon all our rewards as well as the contribution points we lent you. Long Haochen looked distracted, Captain Luc, you Luc Xi forced a smile, If you keep calling me captain, we wont have any face left for ourselves. It was our idea to follow the frence merchants to enter the demon territory, causing the whole team to be exposed to such danger. We cannot avoid this responsibility. In fact, we have all seen yourmanding ability as well as your strength as individual, Captain Long. With all the experience we will gain from the participation to this mission by your side, how could we dare keep making such extravagant demands? This great battle already left a profound impression in Luc Xi as well as the members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. Perhaps could theypare with the other members of this ex-1st Demon Hunt Squad to some extent, but they already held their captain Long Haochen in iparable esteem. Chapter 233 - Princess Yue Ye (I)

Chapter 233: Princess Yue Ye (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales When confronting the enemies, Long Haochen had faced the most powerful of them. As amander, he nned everything far ahead, causing the whole team to get out from a situation of certain death, without a single casualty. Be it in terms of strength, decision-making, intelligence or leadership, he already appeared in Luc Xis eyes like a true leader. Under Long Haochens guidance, the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squads fighting strength was brought out to the fullest, and they managed to save strength effectively. But how much contribution did their 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad bring back? Long Haochen alone was enough to match their whole team. At the same time, Luc Xi also realized how challenging it would be for a priest like himself tomand a team. Although priests had a certain fighting strength, their most important role was to be devoted wholeheartedly to healing. They were far fromparable with a knight in the front lines to make decisions. The reason as for why the knight was called a Demon Hunt Squads cornerstone was that he could effect the whole battlefield with his abilities. Seeing Luc Xis sincerity, Long Haochen revealed a faint smile, dering, Brother Luc, you shouldnt undervalue yourself either. There wont be any change on anything we decided together. Everything we already promised will be done. Since we are going to receive the 70% of the reward, it is natural that we have to do more. Captain Long Luc Xi still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Long Haochens hand. Long Haochens expression became extremely serious, Now is not the time to discuss these matters. I have only two things to say. First, I want to insist on this: in the battlefield, everyone must strictlyply with orders, because the mistake of a single person is likely to cause the annihtion of the whole team. Its true that demons are our mortal enemies, and that we all have to do our utmost to kill demons. But on a long-term consideration, acting impetuously is just suicidal. If we want to kill even more demons to avenge our kin, the first thing we have to do is to keep ourselves alive. If anyone has a problem with mymand, you may object it outside of the battlefield, and then, well talk of it together. If I am not capable enough to lead the whole team, I will be sure to abdicate to let the worthy lead. But when we will get in battle again, I wish that the previous situation wont ever happen again. If anyone causes trouble in times of battle, affecting the whole teams survival, dont me me for expelling you of the team without qualms. Yes! The twelve agreed loudly, including the extremely grieved Dian Yan. Long Haochen went on, The second thing is about our following move. As we have previously been hurrying to get away, I have been adjusting our path of return. We have already no way back, because the core part Nareiks Demon Province is right behind us. Since the demons from there dared robbing the entirety of the Yue Ye caravans goods, they will obviously want to silence everyone. Which is why we can only keep going forward, and now we have already entered over 200 km deep in the demon territory. Although the Nareiks Provinces territory is long and narrow, the area it covers is not so wide. After only three more hours, we will be able to reach this provinces frontier. But as long as we are inside of the demon territory, we will never be inplete safety; please be alert, everyone. Now, I will ask for everyones opinions. Should we keep aiming for the mission, or should we rather take a detour to return to the Alliance? Having gone through the previous battle, Long Haochen had acquired without a doubt the unanimous approval. However, he couldnt get ahead of himself and decide for the teams future direction by himself. He had to let everyone give their own views. This bit caused Luc Xi to admire Long Haochen even more. He realized that under the same circumstances, he wouldnt have thought of this point. Lets keep advancing then. There is a very low probability to encounter something like the siege of a demon army, and as long as we dont run into any demon exceeding the seventh step, there shouldnt be any problem. Since we are only a dozen, it wont be so easy to spot us. Although the demon territory is dangerous, risk and chance are the two sides of a single coin. A Demon Hunt Squad needs to go through hunting demons to grow. Luc Xi voiced his own opinion. His words had gotten the great majoritys approval. Despite the terror they had from their previous battle in the Nareiks Province, these Demon Hunters belonged to the elite of their generation, and all went through the Alliances strict inspection, making sure of their fidelity to the Alliance as well as their determination in fighting against the demon threat and their resolution. More importantly, since under Long Haochensmand, they managed to preserve their fighting strength, how could they shrink back at such a moment. Seeing that everyone shared the same opinion, Long Haochen nodded, All right. Since everything has just been decided, lets immediately think of a solution to get out of our current predicament. As he said, he swept a nce past the carriage at his side. After these two hours rest, Yue Ye already regained consciousness. Though her face was still pale, her eyes were filled with some curiosity. After taking a few pills, she sat beside Leng Xiao on the vehicle, telling her something. The hour of rest passed rapidly, and the Demon Hunters from the two Demon Hunt Squads as well as the few mages got into the car, but Leng Xiao and Yue Ye were still seated in front of the horses, outside of the carriage. Li Xin didnt keep following Long Haochen forward, and got into the carriage. Long Haochen, only leading Caier, moved towards Yue Ye and Leng Xiao. Seeing the two of theme over, Yue Ye revealed an indifferent smile, I guess that you want to discuss with me right? But before this, may I ask for your name? Let me introduce first, my name is Yue Ye, and I am the current president of the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce and she is Leng Xiao, my close friend. Long Haochen revealed a surprised look, but quickly came back to his senses, Greetings, President Yue Ye. My name is Long Haochen. Long Haochen. Yue Ye seemed to mull over this name, and looking at Long Haochens handsome face, she asked with a smile, I really want to know how old you are, would it be okay? Long Haochen shook his head, and replied, Apologies, but I am afraid that I cannot reveal that information. Yue Ye sighed lightly before going on, If my chamber ofmerce had such an outstanding young powerhouse as you, we wouldnt have such bad times. Its a pity that you dont belong to our chamber ofmerce. In our chambers records, I dont remember of the name Long Haochen at all, and I know we dont have any knight possessing a Saint Spiritual Stove. Is there anything you would like to receive for the help you gave us? With a sigh, Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, It will be quite hard to choose, President Yue Ye. At this very moment, his eyes were filled with an indescriptible glint, carrying an ounce of killing intent. What are you nning to do? Leng Xiao put herself in front of Yue Ye, protecting her from Long Haochens nce. After an hours rest, her body had already recovered for the most part. Caier slowly took a step forward, instantly locking her murderous intent on Leng Xiao. Just at this moment, an unthinkable scene happened before Long Haochens eyes. _Peng._ A white palm was swept at Leng Xiaos back, and with a shiver, she nced at Yue Ye with an uprehending look, before falling into her arms. Yue Ye carried Leng Xiaos body, letting her lean against the carriage, before raising her head to look at Long Haochen and Caier indifferently, I think that now, it will be possible for us to have a good talk. Long Haochen held Caiers hand, hinting her not to act impetuously, and revealed a calm smile, You surely guessed what I would like to do, President Yue Ye, right? Yue Ye replied with a sigh, The same as those bastards from the Nareiks Province: to silence everyone, right? Sir young Demon Hunt Squad captain. Long Haochens pupils shrank faintly, President Yue Ye is indeed a smart person. Yue Ye smiled bitterly, If I was really smart enough, I wouldnt have caused the caravan to encounter such danger this time. Although I have only taken over the chamber ofmerce recently, I have already taken this path dozens of times. Seeing young powerhouses such as you, I can only think of the Temple Alliances Demon Hunt Squads. If I guessed right, with a single signal from your side, all my subordinate in the carriage will be killed in an instant. What a shame, although I guessed right about your identity, I didnt think that you would act so fast. Considering your two Demon Hunt Squads group strength, we are nowhere close to be a threat to you right? Long Haochen faintly smiled, and replied, I see that you are smart enough to keep your trump cards hidden. If I didnt guess wrong, President Yue Ye should have a military backing. And this military power of yours is quite formidable. Yue Ye stared foolishly, but didnt try to mask it at all, only giving a curious reply, How did you guess it? Long Haochen replied, President Yue Ye, although your personal strength is not so great in itself, to be able to take out the scroll of a forbidden spell of the ninth step causing the Moon Demon Gods descent, you should have quite a high position within the Moon Demon n. Considering the Moon Demon Gods status as the second most formidable existence among the seventy-two demon gods, since the demons from the Nareiks Province dared to offend you, I dont believe you will leave it at that. Considering your position, the Yue Demon ns powerhouses should arrive soon, am I right? And these powerhouses from the Yue Demon n shouldnt be anything little Demon Hunt Squads like us are capable of contending against. Thus, to keep our identity secret, I have no choice but to act against you. Even if my guess was wrong, I cannot take the risk to let myrades to encounter such danger. Yue Ye calmly looked at Long Haochen, and suddenly revealed a smile. It couldnt be denied that she had an extremely beautiful appearance, a whole level above Caiers, and her pair of purple eyes were filled with great charm and nobility, You are the most outstanding knight I have ever met, and I have met a lot of knights. If I was an influential demon, and learned the existence of an outstanding and young knight such as you, I would definitely not spare any cost to kill you while I can still do it. Otherwise, your future self will be likely to be an immense threat to demonkind. Long Haochen looked at her with some surprise, Dont tell me that you arent a demon? The color of your eyes has already betrayed you, youngdy of the Moon Demon n. Chapter 234 - Princess Yue Ye (II)

Chapter 234: Princess Yue Ye (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Yue Ye lifted up her hands, waving her right hands fingernail and instantly streaking it against her left wrist. Immediately, a droplet of dark-red-colored blood gushed out, dripping from her pure white wrists skin. Seeing the blood flowing out from her wrist, Long Haochen and Caier both had a great surprise. High ranked demons were capable of taking an appearance very simr to humans but a few of their characteristics stayed different from humans. And the only really important external difference between demons and humans lied in their blood. No demon, regardless of whichever race they belonged to, would have red-colored blood. Some would have purple-colored, blue-colored, green-colored or ck-colored blood, but none had red-colored blood. Yue Ye used action to prove her identity. Since her blood was red, she couldnt be a real demon. After she wiped the wound on her right hand, blood stopped flowing down, and Yue Ye dered to Long Haochen, More urately, I am of mixed human and demon blood. My mother was a human, and outside of the heritage I gained from my father, I inherited from my mothers human blood. Thus, I can be considered as human in a greater part, and I am not afraid of telling you that my father is precisely the current Moon Demon God. Only, because of my blood heritage, I didnt gain the qualification to seed him as the next Moon Demon God, which is why I became the president of the Yue Ye chamber ofmerce. At this point, she suddenly revealed a gentle smile, but this coquettish smile carried a hint of sadness. I am a qualified frence merchant, and deep inside, I dont feel a sense of belonging for demons nor humans. Thus, I will not help humans to deal with demons, nor will I help demons to deal with humans. But you are different: if not for your prompt appearance, I would only be a corpse by now. Regardless of the goal you had when intervening, it doesnt change the fact you are my lifesavers. For this reason, I want to tell you that leaving me alive will be of more use than killing me. Arrived to this point, Yue Ye stopped over and gazed at Long Haochen with a deep nce, Captain Long, you are a very smart person. As the Moon Demon Gods daughter, princess of the Moon Demon n, even though I dont have the right of inheritance to the position of demon god, my position within demons is still important. Killing me will not get you any contribution points, but sparing me will be of great help for the execution of your future missions against demons. You are my lifesavers, and I will remember this fact forever. Of course, I know that its hard for you to believe empty promises. You are a Demon Hunt Squad, and in all likelihood, will have some restricting methods. Go ahead and use them against me before running away. Regardless of whether it is for the sake of preserving my own life or to repay the debt of gratitude I owe you, I can only let you do this. However, I want to request you not to harm Leng Xiao. Shes my friend, and doesnt know anything of you. She only came to have some fun with me and thats all. The reason why I knocked her out was that I hoped she wouldnt learn of all of this, to be able to keep on living. Looking at Yue Ye, Long Haochen suddenly felt a great terror. Regardless of whether what she said was true, this girl was just too clever. It could be said that she had perfectly figured out all of Long Haochens thoughts, as her choice of words just formed the perfect answer to dispel his hesitations. Shutting his two eyes, Long Haochen asked in a serious tone, If I keep you alive, of what help will you be to us? Yue Ye revealed an humble smile. She knew that she had already persuaded Long Haochen, No one is more proficient than frence merchants to help humans prate into the demon territory. I know that none of you is willing to wait for my reinforcements from the Moon Demon n to arrive, but I have special items to help you to change your appearance, letting you acquire the appearance of demon aristocrats, in addition to many other indispensable items contained in this carriage. The only thing you will need to do is to reach the nearest town, and then, you will get to prate into the demon territory and reach your destination effortlessly Long Haochen felt hesitant. In such a situation, the best solution to infiltrate the demon territory covertly would be without a doubt to silence Yue Ye and her group. But he couldnt help but worry about Yue Yes ability. Who knew what kind of magical scrolls or weapons she still had left? Even Caier and himself didnt have the assurance to be able to deal with her and to retreat indemn. More importantly, Yue Ye wasnt a mere barbaric demon. Sparing her would be extremely advantageous for the future development of their Demon Hunt Squad. These benefits made Long Haochen feel extremely hesitant. Haochen, I want to speak to her on my own. Caier, who had been seated by Long Haochens side all along, suddenly spoke. Although Long Haochen was surprised, he still nodded in response, Okay. Caier waved her hand to Yue Ye, Follow me. Seeing Caiers limpid and unsentimental eyes, Yue Ye suddenly felt a crack in her original extreme self-confidence. She suddenly felt that this girl standing by Long Haochens side and carrying a veil was a lot more dangerous than him. Although Long Haochen was powerful and extremely intelligent, she could still convince him, but Caier just stood there was just like a cold and expressionless de, that might stab her at any time. Yue Ye nced at Long Haochen, and seeing no reaction from him, felt inwardly dejected about it, but still followed Caier. Caier led her to a nearby ce, roughly twenty steps away, before stopping and turning, looking at Yue Ye face to face. Seeing that you possess some human blood heritage, we were lenient towards you, but trying to pull off any tricks will be of no use, aside from bringing your life to an end. As she said so, Caiers left hand suddenly moved, directly shooting up at Yue Yes chest. Yue Ye was startled and unconsciously tried to dodge this attack, but Caier suddenly became illusory, and immediately, Yue Ye felt as though everything that surrounded her body disappeared, only letting ce to inexhaustible destion. _Whats that power?_ Yue Ye felt greatly rmed, to the extent that the integrality of her bones felt as cold as ice, the surroundings turning grey. Next, a little ice-cold hand left a mark on her chest. Feeling a sharp presence against her chest, Yue Ye screamed miserably, and in a sh, her whole body fell down. After arriving rapidly, this murderous intent also disappeared rapidly. Right after this grey scene vanished, Caier appeared once again in front of her, as if nothing had happened at all. Yue Ye felt dull as she looked at that ck-d girl, only wondering whether she would have been able to avoid that blow just now at her peak state. The answer was not certain. Perhaps could she have a chance in a long-distance battle, but in such a distance, even if her strength was even greater, she would still have been unable to avoid this attack. _What a strong assassin! Its actually no wonder that she managed to wound that Golden Birdy Demon. Shes actually not the least weaker than this Long Haochen!_ Staring with great attention and feeling the changes on her own body, Yue Ye turned pale with fright, because she discovered with shock that a sort of needle had really been left near to her heart. It was a small, entirely grey-colored, and sparkling prative needle. A very little split was left in front of her heart; this was clearly a little needle formed of condensed spiritual energy. Outside of the coldness that asionally came through, it didnt seem to be of any harm to her body. But this feeling clearly only existed on the surface. How could such a thing ced on her heart be really totally harmless? Yue Yes expression became uglier. She could only be said to be extremely intelligent: having seen through Long Haochens benevolent character, she had suggested Long Haochen to restrict her own body, and felt quite lucky to be confronting him. But now, this feeling of luckiness clearly didnt exist anymore. Caier indifferently dered, Let me give you an advice: dont try to remove the restriction I left in your body. I am the only one able to remove it in this world. Even the Demon God Emperor cannot possibly get rid of it, and having him try out his luck will only leave a corpse behind. From how Yue Ye heard it, this wasnt a threat, as Caiers voice was very calm, but a mere description of the real facts. In addition, she was quite knowledgeable and experienced, and this sort of restriction wasnt something she had never seen before. Caier turned around and advanced, returning to Long Haochens side. Yue Ye stood up from the ground, cing her right hand on her left chest, gasping for breath as her look directed to Caier was filled with terror. Caier nodded to Long Haochen, telling him a few words, and Long Haochen nodded in response before looking at Yue Ye, We ept your proposal. Please give us these things that could be of help to us now. I will spare your life and Leng Xiaos Yue Yes face was pale, Then, how can this restriction be removed? Caier gave a calm reply, As long as you can meet me once a year, and that I stay safe and sound, this restriction will never break out. If you want this restriction to bepletely removed, it will only be possible after demonkinds total annihtion. You Yue Ye finally broke out in anger. Caier coldly swept a nce, Are you qualified to have any objection? Yue Ye took a deep breath, calming her rage down. She didnt want to die, and it was only natural. In this world, anyone would treasure his own life. I understand. As she said this, the ruby-colored ring in Yue Yes finger glinted, and a thing after another was set free from it, and she exined their uses to Long Haochen and Caier. A minuteter, Long Haochen recovered these goods Yue Ye gave them. Thanks a lot for your assistance. If one day, you feel inclined to join humanitys side, I believe that it will be a very good thing to us. Dont worry about this restriction ced on your body; if one day, you let us see your loyalty towards humanity, we will remove it for you. This ce isnt safe, you should leave as soon as possible. Yue Ye nodded in silence, looking at Long Haochen before looking at Caier. The brilliance in her eyes rose and fell, as a distressed expression was formed by her brows, giving her a lovely yet pitiful look. Can you help me on some matter before you leave, please? Yue Ye pleaded in a low voice. Chapter 235 - Princess Yue Ye (III)

Chapter 235: Princess Yue Ye (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Looking at her, Long Haochen felt shaken. He after all still had a young and naive side: after Caier left such a restriction in Yue Yes body, he felt remorseful deep inside. To him, the fact that Yue Ye already took out so many things after such a short span of time was an ample proof of her sincerity, showing that she wasnt filled with bad intent. I am listening. Long Haochens voice clearly sounded a lot gentler. Yue Ye said, Please knock out my subordinates: I have a spell to erase their memory. They must have these memories wiped out, this will be the safest option for you. All right. Long Haochen gave his agreement without the slightest hesitation, pointing his finger in the direction of the carriage. Immediately, repeated mming sounds were heard from inside the carriage. Yue Yes remaining subordinates were all mages. Facing such ruthless close quarter warriors, how could they have the ability to contend? The members of the two Demon Hunt Squads walked up in a line,ing to Long Haochens side. Long Haochen gave Yue Ye an apologetic nce, We still have a long road, and will need to borrow some of your Unwavering Manes. Ten should be enough, the rest will be left to you. Please leave this ce as soon as possible too, this area is still within the scope of the Nareiks Province. Its not a safe ce. Got it. Yue Ye hadpletely changed from her previous extremely intelligent disy, replying obediently, just like a servant seeing off her master. Caier wrinkled her brows, and for some reason, discovered that she found this girl more and more unlikable as time passed. With a dim twinkle, Long Haochens eyes lit up with the disy of an ice-cold expression, Get on, its time to set off. Everyone received the Unwavering Manes, and other than Long Haochen, Li Xin and Caier who didnt need it, everyone else chose one, and got on it. Under Long Haochens lead, they galloped at full speed. Following their departing figures with her eyes, Yue Yes look gradually turned colder. Unconsciously cing her right hand on her left chest, she touched a soft spot. No matter how terrible you are, you still have a big weak spot. As long as Long Haochen asks for it, you will surely dispel this restriction on me. Long Haochen, I will seed in my goals no matter what. At this point, Yue Ye revealed a noble and proud expression. She hadnt lied to Long Haochen, and was really the princess of the Moon Demon n, and didnt mind supporting Long Haochens two Demon Hunt Squads. The only reason for this was because of Long Haochen. Except for returning the favor to her savior, she had another reason to do this. Although Yue Ye possessed human blood, making her unable to seed the Moon Demon God, as the holder of the title of new moon within the Moon Demon n, her innate talent was extremely high, and her wisdom surpassed her smens by far. Even the Moon Demon God relied heavily on her on this side, and she could be said to be the greatest genius of the Moon Demon n. Thus, Yue Ye had always been filled with extreme pride since very young. Because of her excellence, many of the high ranked demon gods expressed the desire of connecting their sessors to the Moon Demon God by marriage, but Yue Ye refused all these proposal without any hesitation. When she rejected them, she only had a single exnation for this: that among her peers, she would only consider one whose strength and intelligence surpassed hers as someone qualified to take her as his wife. With certainty, no one outside of the Demon God Emperors sessor had ever managed to achieve this condition. But the Demon God Emperor would never let him connect to an outsider by marriage: to preserve the purity of their bloodline, men of their n could only marry girls of their own n. Yue Ye, who was turning 22 this year, finally met someone who pleased her, a man who convinced her absolutely, and although the counterpart was a human, he gave her a feeling she had never experienced before. It wasnt like she had fallen for Long Haochen, but rather that he made apetitive spirit rise in her. At the same time, she felt that this man would be able to deserve her. Yue Yes previous words came from the deepest part of her heart. She never regarded herself as a demon, neither did she regard herself as a human. To either of the two sides, she didnt feel a great attachment nor an extreme repulsion. What she followed was the ideal that only the strong deserved respect. With a sh of light, a scroll appeared in Yue Yes hand. She unhurriedly strolled to the front of the carriage, opening up the scroll, and from it, an intense me was immediately ignited. In passing, she tossed the scroll in the carriage, before shutting the door closed. A few secondster, a loud explosion rang and these heavy carriages shot up together with it. But these carriages were indeed durable, as they didnt explode even in such circumstances. On the driver seat, Leng Xiao was sent flying up, and the Unwavering Manes thought of running away in total panic, but the carriage was too heavy, and without Floating Techniques beingunched, even if they wanted, they couldnt start running. Only a dead person will be able to keep a secret with the best certainty. Yue Yes expression was calm, as if she was taking care of unimportant matters. After being thrown down, Leng Xiao came back to her senses. Whats going on? Whats happening? Crawling from the ground, Leng Xiao looked at Yue Ye, and herst look was extremely sincere. Yue Yes pair of purple eyes seemed to be filled with intense regret, only gazing at her silently, and Leng Xiaos eyes gradually shut down, entering in a deep slumber. Thats right, Yue Ye had an ability to erase memory, but unfortunately, this ability came with a huge consumption, so she couldnt use it on many people. She could kill these subordinates of hers to silence them, but couldnt do the same with Leng Xiao. After leaving the carriage, Long Haochen and his group didnt know of what happened. They had been hurrying in their way, and at dawn, they had already covered close to 100 km, and picked a remote ce to rest. If it was before, hisrades would definitely have questioned Long Haochens choice to spare Yue Ye and her group. However, this time, they were extremely calm, in particr for the six people of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, who didnt have any inquiry at all. It wasnt out of fear, but out of trust, because they had close to an absolute trust towards Long Haochen, and were already almost willing to follow him blindly. Ever since he left the Temple Alliance, Long Haochen had never made any mistake in his decisions, using his own ability to prove his outstanding capacity as amander to everyone. This time, everyone carried the water and food supply for three months of travel, so there would be any problem to eat and drink to their fill. After replenishing themselves, Long Haochen didnt lead them to depart urgently, but unfolded his map while taking out the things he received from Yue Ye. Please change your clothes, everyone, and use these ones. These were thin crystals, rippling with magical fluctuation, of which Long Haochen demonstrated the use. A short timeter, the thirteen of them hadpletely changed appearances, because of these clothes. All were d in purple gown, about the same. These gowns were overly long, and bent up. With the corrections done from the few girls in the group, it finally fit them perfectly. At the same time, the colors of their eyes changed, and everyone appeared to have purple pupils. At the back of the purple gowns appeared the design of a bent moon. The thin and borate transparent slice was exactly the same kind of magical eyes Leng Xiao and Yue Ye wore previously, the only difference being that Yue Ye gave Long Haochens group purple colored ones. With this entire change of attire plus the change of color of their eye, Long Haochens grouppletely took the appearance of the Moon n members. Of course, it wouldnt be enough if it was only about their external appearances, so everyone also had an insignia justifying their lineage to the Moon Demon n. Although these insignias werent magical equipment, it carried the aura belonging to the Moon ns bloodline, and werent so easy to make. When carrying them, Long Haochens group naturally released the specific cold, charming and dignified aura of high ranked demons. Captain, what should we do next? Should we really tantly enter a demon city, just like that Yue Ye said? Sima Xian asked. Long Haochen shook his head, replying, No, we are after all no demons. Although this is enough to hide our true identities, we are after allpletely different from demons, be it in terms of living customs or physical specs. In case we enter a demon town, such a great number of high ranked demons is bound to attract attention, and possibly be exposed. In addition, since we are supposed to be high ranked demons, we are not supposed to be riding such low magical beasts as these Unwavering Manes. Well have to abandon these magical beast before we enter in a town. For this reason, I previously looked over our route, and since our supply is sufficient, I determined that we should stick to our original n and hurry to the Deste Hissing Cavern toplete our mission in the fastest time possible. Long Haochen was undoubtedly extremely prudent, and didnt fully trust Yue Ye at all. Everyone nodded in session, expressing their approval. Long Haochen dered to the side of his teammates of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, Lets consult each otherter before distributing the contribution points. Although they were equitable, they wouldnt be inflexible and didnt propose an equitable sharing of contribution points to the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. After all, a difference in strength existed between the two Demon Hunt Squads and their contributions to the whole group werent the same. Long Haochen also wanted to consider his own teammates opinions. His teammates naturally didnt have any objection to this suggestion. Indeed, after entering in the demon territory, they immediately met some big trouble, but their bounty of contribution points was equally plentiful. On the side of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, an important amount of contribution points had already been gathered, as each Berserk Demons gave four contribution points and the Birdy Demons gave six. The other types of demons also gave a lot more than Dual ded Demons. The earnings on Long Haochens side were even greater. The Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon died by Long Haochens hand, whereas the Golden Birdy Demon died by Caiers hand, and these evolved demons values already exceeded a thousand. It was already enough for Long Haochens group to have an abundance of points. More importantly, Long Haochen had just in a huge amount of Grand Birdy Demons, whose corpses had entirely been recovered by Lin Xin. The values of the corpses in addition to the magical crystals were considerable, to the extent that the happiest of the whole team was Lin Xin. _With such a quantity of material, Ill get to make quite a lot of pills!_ Lin Xins pills could not only be sold anywhere; even in the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center, many would be willing to buy them. Chapter 236 - Grand Fiend Cavalry

Chapter 236: Grand Fiend Cavalry

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales It could be said that the previous battles earnings already surpassed the total profit they made during the three previous months. But of course, this was after omitting the gain of the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. The time of break was short, and under Long Haochens lead, they continued their journey, heading out of the Nareiks Province . Bad luck hadnt been apanying them forever, and making use of the map, they passed through deste areas as much as possible. A few dayster, at the time the sunlight started to illuminate the sky, they finally made it out of the Nareiks Province. And at this time, Long Haochen finally couldnt persevere anymore. Such a battle caused an enormous consumption on Long Haochen, who could be said to be totally exhausted both mentally and physically. As for the remaining injuries on his body, they were mostly from using Sacrifice, in addition to the overuse of his spiritual energy. During this period of continuous hurried travel, along with the burden he had from taking responsibility for leading the whole team, Luc Xis healing could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and as they finally arrived at a safe ce, Long Haochen finally fell in Caiers arms. During the period Long Haochen was unconscious, the two Demon Hunt Squads discussed exhaustively before deciding to settle here to get some rest. They were located in deste hills. Ever since thergest part of Shengmo Dalus territory had been upied by the demons, infertilend had be more and more numerous, and without manned power to plow it, weeds broke out everywhere from the original fertilend. In a zone of hills, they found an unnoticeable area to reside in for the time being. So as to keep their identity as humans secret, they didnt dare set up a tent, and just stayed in a rather hard to notice area in high altitude. They chose to reside in a cavern that could amodate everyone to rest and reorganize tranquilly. The reason for the decision to stay here and rest was simple: they reached a consensus, that the team needed Long Haochen to guide them, that without him, the whole team would be unable to bring out enough strength. Rushing impatiently would only produce the opposite of the desired result, and thus, it would be better to have some rest, letting everyone recover while cultivating to transform the arousal of their potential of the past battle into strength. This time of reststed for a period of three entire days. In these remote hills they chose to settle down, the terrain, entirely filled with grass and shrubs, was perfectly suitable to feed the Ironed Manes. Actually, the injuries and overdraft brought upon Long Haochens body by his use of Sacrifice recovered after a single day, but he still decided to stay for two more days. To any of the existing vocation, the moment after a big battle was also the most ideal chance to rise in power. Their goal was not only toplete their demon hunt mission, but also to improve their personal strength as much as possible. They didnt need to rush blindly. After his internal spiritual energy broke through the realm of the 3000s, Long Haochen discovered that his cultivation speed had increased clearly. It wasnt only rted to the presence of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, but his own perception of the light essence contained in the external world had also increased greatly. In particr, Long Haochen discovered that three days after this battle, his own internal spiritual energy had increased by a total of more than a hundred. In fact, he achieved the realm of the totally liquid spiritual energy, which caused an increase that could only be described as terrifying in his advancing speed. But on the fourth day, his speed of advancement distinctly slowed down, sign that the effects of arousal of his potential caused by the previous battle vanished gradually. But after paying careful attention, Long Haochen noticed that if he put all his energy in cultivation, his internal spiritual energy would increase by at least twenty units on a daily basis. Twenty, this was a terrifying number. ording to this cultivation speed, after at most two months, he would reach the realm of the sixth step: Radiant Knight. Of course, Long Haochen didnt tell the others about this change, as he didnt want to raise their hopes inadvertently. But he secretly took the decision that after thepletion of this mission and returning to Holy City, he would train behind closed doors, striving to reach the level of Radiant Knight. If he really managed to raise his strength to the sixth step, they would be able to aim for even more challenging missions. The Unwavering Manes set off again, heading into the depths of the demon territory. Although they only needed to cover a distance of 2,000 km from the Temple Alliance to their present destination, in practice, they couldnt possibly take a straight line continuously. After no less than seven days travel, they finally reached the central demon province, and drew closer and closer to their destination. However, they had no choice but to reduce their speed in the end. This was because the nearer they were to the central province, the more demons they would run into, and they even asionally met humans. However, these humans were almost all working in farms. The attires belonging to the Moon n had an enormous utility, regardless of which demon tribes they ran across, all these demons would rapidly avoid their group. Unfortunately, after seeing the first looks of the other demons, they had no choice but to abandon these Ironed Manes that would easily arise suspicion, instead going on foot. Long Haochen transmitted an order, that without his authorization, no one was to act against demons. Killing demons would raise their amount of contribution points, but would also increase their risk of getting exposed. Examining the map and meticulously scouting the terrain, Long Haochen even made asionally use of Han Yus Demonic Eye, to fly in high altitude for scouting or asked for the help of Li Xins Rose Unicorn to take him in the air, but the reason why he didnt only ask for Li Xins help was naturally that a Rose Unicorn was excessively eye-catching. They couldnt go ask other demons, and could only rely on their own judgement and their map to determine the location, but this was undoubtedly a difficult task. After ten days of extremely cautious travel, they could be said to be even more exhausted than after the previous battle. If we werent mistaken on the previous route, after crossing these mountain, we should arrive at the destination. Long Haochen took a deep breath. Even with his cultivation as an Earth Knight, he couldnt help but feel extremely exhausted. Li Xin waved her hands with strength, So we are finally about to arrive? Thats great. As long as we canplete the exploration of the cavern, our mission will be considered as a sess. Lin Xin said in reaction, Theres no time to lose. How about reaching the Deste Hissing Caverns before getting some rest? Well pass this hurdle in a spurt of energy. Long Haochen replied after pondering for a little, If no one has a problem with it, lets start to climb the mountain. Just as they were preparing to start this operation, a distant group of people hurried in their direction. Everyone immediately stopped on their tracks as they didnt believe that they would possibly meet friendly forces so deeply in the demon territory. This was a cavalry, whose appearance surprised everyone. Each of these soldiers were Grand Fiends of the Fiend n that could be considered to be a central existence for all demons. They werent the most numerous neither were they the most powerful n, but they had the most bnced poption. In terms of quantity, the Fiend n was only second to the Dual ded Demons, but the Fiend n wasnt only formed of Little Fiends only capable to serve as cannon fodder. They were spread from the rank of the Little Fiends to the rank of Devil King, and the monarch of the Fiend n, the fourth ranked of the seventy-two demon gods, the Death Lord Samigina. For this reason, although the fiend nsmen were very numerous, their level of strength was extremely disparate, from the weakest Little Fiends to the fourth demon god. Their force as a whole entity was also considerable, second only to the Devil Dragons tribe. It went to the extent that the ns of the two other demon gods above him in the ranking were far inferior to the Fiend n. The Death Lord Saminaga, known to his kins as Demon Ruler, was the only one whom all his nsmen listened to. The Fiend ns greatest characteris lied in its capability to evolve. It was simply the most expert demon race in evolving: even the weakest Little Fiend had the chance to advance to the level of Devil King with sufficient luck. The fiend corps before them was constituted of Grand Fiends of the fourth step, numbering fifty. Their mounts were Nightmare Devil Horses. Nightmare Devil Horses were entirely deep ck, their body covered in deep red stripes and just like the fiends, they had on their fronthead a pair of horns, giving them appearances of terrible four-legged beasts. These Nightmare Devil Horses were, just like their masters, at the fourth step. Reportedly, the most powerful Nightmare Devil Horses could go as far as to reach the ninth step, bing formidable Nightmare Kings. The members of the two Demon Hunt Squads looked at the same time at Long Haochen. In a battle of twelve against fifty, considering that the fifty fiends were apanied by fifty mounts, they didnt have the slightest chance for victory. That was to say nothing of the fact that they already prated deep into the demon Central Province, where letting a single enemy go would result in bigplications. Long Haochen did a hand gesture, hinting his teammates to keep themselves calm. Walking to the front, his two hands behind his back, he wore a haughty expression on his face, swiftly approaching the fiend cavalry. The team of Grand Fiends quickly got close. They were headed by a particrly tall fiend, whose Nightmare Devil Horse also looked a lot more imposing than the others. With a sh of me, the Nightmare Devil horses arrived at twenty meters distance from Long Haochen before stopping. Then, the Grand Fiend riding it dismounted from it and walked towards Long Haochens direction. This Grand Fiend Commander had a pair of spiral-shaped horns, bat-like wings, had an imposing build and a particrly immense w, a fierce-looking appearance. His body carried an intense fishy stench, letting off a thin green vapor. In the Fiend n, Grand Fiends belonged to the faction of absolute strength, and were expert in close-range battles, fearing magic, especially fire-type magic. The fact he was able to grow wings testified that this Grand Fiend already possessed a cultivation at the level of the sixth step, possessing the ability of flight. At this level, he could be called a Fiend Commander. Enough, stand there. Dont get closer with your filthy body. Long Haochen ordered coldly. Against the expectations, the fiend really listened and stopped over, but bellowed in response, Even if you are a noble of the Moon n, you do not have the right to insult me, the Fiend Commander. Give me your name, moon demon. High ranked demons could all speak human tongue, and among them, the Moon n demons were the most fond of it. This was also the reason why Long Haochen spoke in a natural way to this Grand Fiend. But inparison, the Grand Fiends human tongue was clearly a lot rougher and shakier. Long Haochen snorted coldly, and he nimbly threw an insignia to this Grand Fiend. The Fiend Commander made haste to catch it in his broad palm. Then, his dark green eyes violently shrank, and the insignia in his hand almost fell down. Suddenly stepping forward, he unexpectedly kneeled down before Long Haochen. Esteemed Moon ns Viscount, I ask your forgiveness for my previous impulsive behaviour. This Fiend Commander had immediately be a lot more refined. He still carried this insignia in his hands, but didnt dare get closer. With a white glow, the insignia returned in Long Haochens hand, precisely from the Saint Spiritual Stoves attractive force. The Saint Spiritual Stove used a particr energy, and didnt really have light properties, so Long Haochen didnt fear to be found out because of it. The most important was not to let the opponent approach. They were after all humans, and thus, they would be easily be found out by demons with good sense of smell like fiends if he didnt have this protective insignia. Stand up, stinky fellow. Tell me, where are you heading to? Long Haochen said with a domineering expression, fitting his handsome appearance while giving off an impression of spoilt child. Nheless, this was the first time he took such a behaviour, which appeared clearly unnatural and shaky from him. The Fiend Commander respectfully dered, Honorable Moon ns Viscont, we are reinforcements sent for the exploration of the Deste Hissing Cavern by our nsmen. The Deste Hissing Cavern? Long Haochen was extremely surprised, What kind of ce is that? How is it that I have never heard of it before? The Fiend Commander replied, This is a cavern our Fiend n discovered. The grand Fiend Sovereign Samigina already reported its existence to our ultimate ruler, the Demon God Emperor. ording to our Fiend ns observations, it seems that this Deste Hissing Cavern is a quite an umon ce. Some of our troops were exploring it, when we received some signal requiring help and set out as reinforcements. Although he clearly felt terrified of Long Haochens status, he avoided approaching the subject of the Deste Hissing Cavern, emphasising the fact that the Demon God Emperor already knew of this caverns situation. Long Haochen snorted coldly, If Im not guessing wrong, this Deste Hissing Cavern you are talking of should be on the other side of the hill, right? A great change appeared on the expression of the Fiend Commanders face, unconsciously asking in reaction, You How do you know about it? Long Haochen replied proudly, In this world, do you think there exists anyone surpassing my Moon n in wisdom? Be at ease, such a little cavern wasnt enough to attract our ns attention. You may go aplish your role as reinforcements. Get lost! At the same time these words came out of his mouth, he did a fast gesture with his right hand at his back, directed at his teammates. This ce was under mountains, in a in location. Before these Major Fiend Troops appeared, it could be said that there wasnt any living creatures there. As if begging for forgiveness, the Grand Fiend Commander bowed to Long Haochen once again, before going back to sit on his Nightmare Horses back. With a wave of his hand, he led the cavalry of fifty Grand Fiends forward, to a rtively t location. Considering the Nightmare Horses ability, they could manage to traverse it pretty effortlessly. Since they were headed to the same direction, they made the trip together with Long Haochens group. Just when a third of the Grand Fiend Cavalry passed it, Long Haochen suddenly shouted, Start! A massive figure appeared in front of him. Immediately, a dozen glints appeared on the members of the two Demon hunt Squads, and two beams formed of terrifying energy burst forth. Long Haochens previous gesture had two meanings: to prepare for battle and to leave no one alive. Chapter 237 - Kill the demons! (I)

Chapter 237: Kill the demons! (I)

Start! Long Haochen suddenly shouted from the previously noiseless ground. Haoyues massive figure appeared in an instant, and Essence of Disorder immediately burst forth. By absorbing the power released in his surroundings, he made it so that his allies wouldnt be affected. At the time this Grand Fiend Cavalry had appeared, Long Haochen had already made his preparations for battle. After thest battle with the Yue Ye Merchant Group, Haoyue told Long Haochen that because of his evolution, Essence of Disorder would now consume roughly 80% of his spiritual energy, instead of depleting it entirely at once. When Long Haochens group entered in the demon territory, left with no choice but to abandon the Unwavering Manes, Haoyue chose to go live on his own. After all, he would stand out too much by staying at Long Haochens side. Besides, with the existence of an instantaneous link between the two of them like their blood contract, Long Haochen didnt worry about his safety. At the instant he saw the Grand Fiend Cavalry, Long Haochen had Haoyue start preparing his Essence of Disorder. At that time, he was still not sure of whether to battle these Grand Fiends or not, but wanted to be ready just in case. The consumption on Haoyue would admittedly be great, but after consuming spiritual energy, at most one or two hours would be needed to recover it back. But in case the battle really started, the effects of the Essence of Disorder would really be extremely great. Back then, if not for Haoyues assistance, at the time that dozen of Grand Birdy Demons appeared, Long Haochen and Leng Xiao wouldnt have managed to resist them. Nheless, making a spell instantly break forth upon summoning wasnt something anyone could do. A blood contract could be summoned with an instant summoning, but at the same time, Haoyue could preserve his own magic without interrupting it as he was summoned because of his special body. This was something the mages summoning array never managed to aplish before. The three light beams from Essence of Disorder spread, extending in fifty meters diameter around and wrapping the Grand Fiend Cavalry of fifty inside. It could immediately be seen that regardless of whether it was the Grand Fiends or their Nightmare Devil Horses, a dense ck fog was emitted from all their bodies. With screaming sounds, the cavalry immediately descended into disorder. The Grand Fiends mainly used their physical body for battle, but the overwhelming majority of these formidable demons were able to act in coordination, as if they were a single entity. Just like it was the case for the Moon n, for the Devil Dragon n, it was the case for the Fiend n. Any fiends energy would contain darkness-type spiritual energy. They had the ability to absorb the darkness essence in the air and use it to increase their cultivation power by digesting it, gradually attaining the state of evolution. Thus, in times of battle, any of the Grand Fiends attacks would be supplemented with darkness attribute, filled with extreme power. But in the same fashion, their bodies would have darkness-type properties. Even pure darknessbatants would suffer the violent influence of Essence of Disorder, let alone these Grand Fiend that were originally of darkness attribute. A ck mist suddenly broke out, revealing the sight of the darkness essence in the three of them breaking forth. Not only that, the Essence of Disorder formed a magical cloud gathering the most powerful parts of all magic into a magic cloud. All the different types of magic essences reinforced this Essence of Disorder. The greater the elemental disorder was, the more powerful did the magics effects be. All the three elements Haoyue released contained a portion of light element, whose effects was a lot greater than fire or water against darkness. In the dark fog instantly released by the fiends, a series of explosion resounded. At least a third of the Grand Fiends fell from their horses back, and although these Nightmare Devil Horses defensive power was great, cracks could be seen to appear on their back, and from it, pitch-ck blood was sprayed all around. Haoyue was naturally not the only one to act: as soon as they saw Long Haochens signal, the other members of the Demon Hunters squad had immediately made their battle preparations. The instant Essence of Disorder burst forth, Caier disappeared from behind Long Haochens back, and the others attacks erupted from all directions. They had to settle this as fast as possible, which implied going all out from the beginning. This was the demon territorys Central Province, which implied they were likely toe across demons, and had to take care of this battle without wasting a second. The Gigantic Divine Soul Shield in Wang Yuanyuans hand carried a silvery radiance. On it, three gems had been inserted firmly. Space Splitting Revolving Shield! All the Grand Fiends of this cavalry were equipped with spears, and under the attack of the Essence of Disorder, they could barely resist the power with theirnces. In a state of frantic struggle, the Nightmare Devil Horses they rode were not of any help. Repeated explosions rang, as five of the Grand Fiend of the cavalry that hadnt fallen to the ground because of the Essence of Disorder were smashed one after another by the Space Splitting Revolving Shield attack. Even Long Haochen didnt dare to meet head on with this Divine Soul Shields tremendous power, let alone these Grand Fiends of the fourth step that Wang Yuanyuans physical strength in itself was enough to crush to death. Five corpses were sent flying, falling on the ground like dust. Sima Xian also took care of five other Grand Fiends. In his hands, five bullets of light of the size of human heads had been shot, carrying an overwhelming light essence, bombarding the chests of five Grand Fiends fiercely. Sacred Bullet Array! This was one of the new skills Sima Xian learned. This time, he finally had a bit resemnce to a regr priest. In fact, although he was a priest using brutal force, his bodys concentration in light essence was even greater than Luc Xi. One mustnt forget that after bing Long Haochens retainer knight, this bald priests innate internal spiritual energy had broken through the terrifying realm of the eighties. When fully used, one could imagine the terrifying power of his light attacks. The offensive power of Sacred Bullet Array was great, as it contained almost a third of Sima Xians spiritual energy. Light restrained darkness naturally, let alone these Grand Fiends whose darkness power had been stripped off previously. With only astyer of darkness protection covering their corroded bodies, how could they bear the formidable power of these sacred bullets? Although it didnt have the same terror as Wang Yuanyuan who directly beheaded them, the five Grand Fiends were still sent flying from their horses, suffering serious damage. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light and the Holy Spirit Sword appeared in Long Haochens hands at the same time as he charged at full speed. Pure-White Edge, Thorny Charge, Lightning Thrust, Heavenly Battle Array, Shining Sr Strike, Instant st Cross Cut, Light Thorn; these numerous Retribution Knight abilities were released naturally and in session from Long Haochens hands, and the terrifying power of the liquid spiritual energy imbued in his heavy swords colored them in golden. Every attack heunched would at least leave the corpse of a Grand Fiend or a Nightmare Devil Horse behind. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating floated at Long Haochens back, chanting without interruption, and light elemental spells wereunched one after another on Long Haochen. After Yating became Long Haochens spiritual stove, they could be said to have reached a perfect level of coordination. With the assistance from his physique as the Scion of Light, Yating had alreadypleted two evolutions. Although her consumption after the previous battle above the caravan was great, she already recovered to her peak after only two days. Together with Long Haochen, herpatability with light element grew several folds. With her by his side, Long Haochen who was originally several-folds faster than ordinary people to recover his internal spiritual energy, could now do the same with ayer of Holy Fire surrounding his body. At the time they started attacking, in the middle of these Grand Fiends formation, the thirteen youths broke out with their strongest attacks at the same time, and only a few secondster, the Grand Fiend Cavalry was already struck in terror. Including the Fiend Commander, only seven or eight of the Grand Fiends who suffered the Essence of Disorders attack, barely managed rush out of the scope of the magic. Caier! After Long Haochen cut down two of the Nightmare Horses, Long Haochen shouted loudly. A fantastic scene happened. Three meters above the ground, a ck silhouette suddenly appeared baselessly, and immediately, a white glow erupted from Long Haochens chest. Meanwhile, Little Greenunched the Floating spell on him, and with the help of the white glowing Pull, Long Haochen flew like a bolt of lightning towards Caiers direction. The remaining enemies that were still in the scope of effect of the Essence of Disorder were already no problem, as the two Demon Hunt Squads were already sufficient to handle them, but they couldnt let the Fiend Commander get away. The Saint Spiritual Stoves Pull ability produced a perfect match with the tacit understanding existing between the two of them. When the Fiend Commander noticed something wrong, he already had heavy wounds from the Essence of Disorder. Regardless of their race, when suffering such a surprise attack, the first thing any demon would do would be to try to save his life, before looking for an exnation. Thus, after his Nightmare Horse carried him out of the scope of the Essence of Disorder, the Fiend Commander immediately turned around to look at the situation, while the Grand Fiends that had rushed out with him did the same motion. What they saw was a chaotic scene, the desperate scene of massacre of their Grand Fiend Cavalry Just at this time, Long Haochen and Caier already caught up to them. Having caught up with Caier, Long Haochen immediately held her soft and tender body in his arms, suddenly spinning in midair and throwing her at full force. Her ck figure flew in the air just like a ck meteorite headed at the Fiend Commander. With the help of the Floating Techniques effects, Long Haochen didnt stop at that and once again used the pulling ability of his Saint Spiritual Stove, following the thrown Caier to chase after the Fiend Commander. A myriad of white glows burst forth from her body, and two of the Grand Fiends as well as their mount turned into naught. They were still at the fourth step, and the difference they had between Dark Green Dual ded Demons was not negligible. The Fiend Cavalrys speciality was intense attack and not intense defense; although they had tough and durable bodies, there were many demons more adept in using their carapace for defense than them. In the next instant, Long Haochen also arrived, swinging his two heavy sword and wielding them with a pair of Shining Sr Strikes striking against the Fiend Commander at the same time. The Fiend Commander could be said to be both scared and terrified at the same time. Even if he was even more foolish, when seeing the sun-like golden spiritual energy bursting out from Long Haochens body, he guessed that he was fundamentally not a demon. Carrying the spear in his hand, he blocked Long Haochens two swords with a loud bang, but the Nightmare Horse under him tumbled a few steps back. Chapter 238 - Killing the Demons (II)

Chapter 238: Killing the Demons (II)

In Shengmo Dalu, challenging powerhouses of higher rank was an extremely challenging feat, because a qualitative gap existed between every step. However, this was already not the first time Long Haochen challenged an opponent of higher step, and he had many assets ordinary people wouldnt have. In normal circumstances, defeating this cavalry wouldnt be an easy feat. Without Haoyues assistance, they were bound to have a hard battle, and even if they won, it would be in a miserable state. However, the Fiend Commander had just suffered the effects of the attack from Essence of Disorder. He was at the sixth step of cultivation, but still far from the peak of the sixth step. Thus, he had to bear the effects of the spell, and the elemental power on his body was greatly depleted by it, as his body suffered serious damage. Challenging him was doable only because he had already been greatly weakened. More importantly, Long Haochen was now acting as a Retribution Knight, expert in instant burst attacks. The powerful bacsh caused Long Haochen to be sent flying in the air, but in the next instant, his body was already spinning at great speed. Condemning Revolving Sword! The Light Elemental Fairy Yating flew to a fairly distant ce from him, chanting her incantation without pause. When Long Haochens first strike collided against the Fiend Commanders spear, a strong explosion of holy light urred, and with his full strength blocking, arge dent appeared in his spear. Below, the Nightmare Devil Horses four limbs were already stiff, having left deep marks on the ground. Holy Sword! Yating gave Long Haochens first blow the formidable power of Holy Sword. But at this moment, the Nightmare Devil Horses fighting strength was disyed at its fullest. A faint ck radiance rush forth from its body, entering the Fiend Commanders body. At the same time, thetter opened up his mouth, seemingly wanting to spit some words. For quite a long time, he kept whining aloud, surrounded by ck fog and showing quite an unsightly appearance Grand Fiends specialty was close quartersbat, but Nightmare Devil Horses were more inclined to use elemental abilities. They could run at an extreme speed, and were experts at using darkness magical attacks. For this precise reason, their losses were even greater than the Grand Fiends when suffering the effects of the Essence of Disorder. As for this Nightmare Devil Horse of the fifth step, whose elemental power had been already greatly depleted, it only managed to barely provide some assistance to the Fiend Commander, but was unable to use darkness offensive magic directly against Long Haochen. BangC The thirteenth blow of the Condemning Revolving Sword carried once again the terrifying power of Holy Sword, causing the spear in the Fiend Commanders hand to snap. Nheless, this Fiend Commander was indeed tough. Unceasingly wielding his pair ofrge ws, he unexpectedly relied on his tough body to block Long Haochens Condemning Revolving Swords. Every time his w entered in contact with the Condemning Revolving Swords, ck smoke would be unleashed: it was the corroding effect light had against darkness. But the most astonishing was that only marks were left on his ws. Unfortunately, using this method to block the Revolving Condemning Sword, which had a power that increased over time, was easier said than done. The Fiend Commander was finally unable to keep going. Plop.?The middle phnx of his right w was cut off, and the Fiend Commander finally let out a miserable scream. At the same time, he thought of withdrawing from the right side. In fact, it hadnt been cut down identally, but he was the one that took the initiative of letting it be cut down. The Condemning Revolving Sword naturally followed along, but at the time the Fiend Commander seemed to be about to fall to the ground, he pulled the Nightmare Devil Horse, instantly leaning to the side and going as far as to use it to block the blows aimed at him. The Nightmare Devil Horse previously spared no effort to assist him, but its strength wasnt sufficient, to say nothing of the fact that it had been weakened by the previous Essence of Disorder. When being forcefully used as a shield with the betrayal of its master, how could it possibly stand a chance against Long Haochens blow? With an ear-splitting shattering sound, this enormous Nightmare Devil Horse was instantlycerated by the Condemning Revolving Swords, and its flesh and blood was spread around. The Fiend Commander didnt take advantage of this chance to attack Long Haochen, but instead, he quickly escaped to the opposite direction. Using his pair of wide paws to run at great speed, he was already over ten meters away with a few steps. Long Haochen took a deep breath and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light shone brightly. A blue and golden dual-colored radiance formed a dazzling rainbow in the air, chasing after the Fiend Commander. It was the Thrusting Hibiscus attack. The prative attack formed of overwhelming rays of light wasunched. Obviously feeling the danger at his back, the Fiend Commander suddenly turned around, using his ws to block, intense ck instantly going forth from his chest and turning into a ck brilliant lump. DuuC The Fiend Commanders enormous body was struck by the Thrusting Hibiscus terrible offensive power and pierced, his two arms shattering into pieces. However, the most astonishing was that he still didnt die, unexpectedly getting up once again and running away madly after falling to the ground, attempting to escape. Meanwhile, a ck radiance rocketed from above his body. What a strong vitality!?Long Haochen was astonished. He didnt think that even his Thrusting Hibiscus of Rain and Light would still not be enough to end his opponents life. At this moment, his consumption was already tremendous, and even with Yatings assistance, he wouldnt be able to chase after the opponent. At this precise moment, a red brilliance formed a red cloud in the air, intercepting the ck rayunched against them. At the same time, a red figure crashed like a meteor, smashing fiercely the Fiend Commander that had lost both of his arms. Burning fiercely, a five meters long massive me de struck the Fiend Commanders crippled body. With a miserable scream, this Fiend Commander finally fell to the ground, unable to even crawl any longer. The mes vanished, and Li Xins figure appeared, riding the Rose Unicorn and giving Long Haochen an apologetic nce. Demon Hunt Squads contribution points were obtained when killing the demons. That was to say that the contribution points for this Fiend Commanders death were ripped by Li Xin. Long Haochen surveyed the battlefield: the battle had already been thoroughly finished. Under the great assistance of Haoyues Essence of Disorder, this battle concluded even more easily than expected. The assault of Grand Fiends was truly threatening in the battlefield, and when matching with the Nightmare Devil Horses, they even held the upper hands against the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment, who could just barely contend against them. Of course, this was on the premise that the number of Grand Fiends on the other side was at least three times the number of Angel Knights. Unfortunately, the opponent they met today was too crafty. With a sudden sneak attack, matched with the terror of the Essence of Disorder, the lives of these Grand Fiends and their Nightmare hade to an end. Having suffered the attack of the Essence of Disorder, the Nightmare Devil Horses had even lost the power to stand against the enemy. That was to say nothing of the two Demon Hunt Squads sudden bursting attacks: be it in terms of offensive power or in restrictive ability, they were extremely tough. The remaining Grand Fiends tried to escape with their mounts, but were finished by Caiers attacks. Li Xin dragged the Fiend Commanders corpse in front of Long Haochen, apologetically dering to him, Im sorry Haochen. It wasnt on purpose that I snatched your contribution points. Ill give you back some of the contribution points for this Fiend Commanders deathter. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, Sis, when have you started to treat me like an outsider? More importantly, it was precisely because of your intervention that we prevented this fiend from spreading the information of our presence. You deserved these contribution points, you know! But Li Xin seemed to want to add something else before being softly held by Long Haochens arms, Sis, regardless of my strength or anything, I am your little brother for life. In my heart, you will be my dear elder sister forever. He had felt some recent changes on Li Xins state of mind, because Long Haochens strength was just bing greater and greater, and his brilliance was increasingly dazzling. Li Xin felt like she was bing more and more distant with this non blood-rted little brother of hers, and could even feel heroic vibes from the younger Long Haochen. Because of their new rtionship, she started to speak to Long Haochen a lot lesser, for fear of affecting him badly or being a disturbance to him. At this very moment, Long Haochens hug and words caused Li Xin to be unable to contain her dear feelings of brothership, tightly hugging him and sobbing soundly. Caier came to Long Haochen side, silently staying there, blinking repeatedly at this scene, though no feeling of jealousy arose in her. As the owner of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, her senses were even above Long Haochens, and she could clearly feel that the feelings Li Xin held towards Long Haochen were entirely different from the ones she had towards him. But contrarily to expectations, when Li Xin saw Caier, she hastened to let go of Long Haochens embrace, immediately exining, Caier, dont misunderstand this! I Caier unexpectedly revealed a rare smile, Why would I misunderstand this? Long Haochen grabbed Caiers small hand and looked at her face to face. Feeling theplete trust existing between the two of them, he couldnt help but feelfortably warm. Sis, now is not the time to talk, we should clean the battlefield at once, before leaving. Everyone was obviously busy sweeping through the battlefield, and as a matter of fact, the busiest one among them was a certain scrooge among the group. Lin Xins conduct was indeed something no one could help but smile upon watching. This guys spatial ring was already heavily loaded andpletely filled up. Nheless, he had his own other methods: the corpses of a bunch of Berserk Demons and Birdy Demons were tossed out, and some of the Grand Fiend and Nightmare Devil Horses corpses were instead taken in. On his face, he had now an expression of pain and helplessness. The members of the 4th Demon Hunt Squads also imitated him, and took some of the corpses in their own spatial rings. Nheless, these Grand Fiends and Nightmare Devil Horses corpses took up too much space, and none of them had a spatial ring with the same monstrous capacity as Lin Xins. In the end, they only managed to transport about the half of these spoils of war. Li Xin received the contribution points for this Fiend Commander, and resolutely renounced to the other spoils of waring from this Fiend Commanders corpse, including his magical crystal. Of course, Lin Xin wouldnt let go off such a high ranked corpse, and even recovered the massive and fragmented corpse of that Nightmare Devil Horse of the fifth step. Li Xin couldnt help but say in a low voice to Long Haochen, This guy doesnt have fighting ability, but isnt he quite insatiable! Chapter 239 - Killing Demons (III)

Chapter 239: Killing Demons (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen revealed a smile and replied, Sis, dont be biased against him! In our team, everyone has an important role, and no one is dispensable. The same goes for Lin Xin. Li Xin was swayed, and suddenly thought of something, making haste to say in a low voice, Oh, Im sorry Little Brother! I wasnt trying to drive a wedge between your teams rtionships. Long Haochen shook his head and replied, Sis, I am just speaking about truth. Youll seeter, if a real situation of danger arises in the Deste Hissing Cavern, Lin Xins utility will be exhibited to its fullest. At the present time, aside from Long Haochen who took a Great Restoration Pill, the others had yet to put the pills they received from Lin Xin to use. Chen Yinger also only used a single magical crystal, which was used for the hidden trump they had kept during their battle on the side of the Yue Ye Caravan. She would only put such precious resources to use only when it is absolutely necessary. Boss, should we destroy the corpses we cannot take with us? Sima Xian asked loudly to Long Haochens side. Long Haochen thought for a bit, before replying, No need, extract all the crystals and pile up the corpses. Ill have Haoyue setting them on fireter. Lin Xin had a burst of creativity, before tossing the corpses of some Birdy Demons and Berserk Demons. In the Nareiks Province, the surprise attack against the Yue Ye Caravan was really shameless, so this little operation wouldnt cause them to feel guilty. As for the fact of setting the corpses of fire, it was naturally to conceal the traces of the battlefield. The traces of the battle of the Demon Hunters against the Birdy Demon, the Berserk Demon were all different. When they would be set on fire together, who would be possibly able to tell out what happened? Because the Grand Fiends didnt get to transmit the message, they could clean the battlefield calmly. Having Han Yus Demonic Eye scout through the surroundings, in addition to Luc Xis Eyes of Truth that could be used in a smaller range, they didnt worry about being sneak attacked. Half an hourter, everything was set in mes, and Long Haochen led his mates to start over their journey, climbing the mountain firsthand. This time, Long Haochen didnt have Haoyue leave yet, since they were about to reach the Deste Hissing Cavern, and having him by his side would be of great utility to Long Haochen. Haoyue wasnt only able to use a formidable ability like Essence of Disorder: the most important was his mutual understanding with Long Haochen, which originated directly from their blood connection, which was something even Caier would be unable topare to. Climbing the mountain was done with some unconcealed excitement: because of the utility the Essence of Disorder had, that battle against the Grand Fiends Cavalry wasnt too challenging, but came with generous reaps of war. Even the fourth soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad obtained a lot of magical crystals, and even though they couldnt use them personally, they could still exchange these for contribution points. Although the Grand Fiend Cavalry and their Nightmare Devil Horses were at the fourth step, forming tandems matching perfectly, and were even stronger than Dark Green Dual ded Demons. Thus, killing a single Grand Fiend Knight and his Nightmare Horse was rewarded with 15 contribution points. With the addition of the Fiend Commander of the sixth step and his mount, this battle brought the two teams a total of more than 1,000 contribution points. Furthermore, along with the experience of this battle, the two Demon Hunt Squads could be said to have progressed in their strength as a whole, be it in terms of individual progress or matching as teams. Almost all the Temple Alliances higher-ups had gone through a Demon Hunt Squads training, which was because Demon Hunt Squads were the easiest way for them to grow. Of course, the number of casualties in Demon Hunt Squads were also enormous: out of ten Demon Hunt Squads, most of the time, at most three of them would remain twenty yearster. When a Demon Hunt Squad would get disbanded, the Alliance would arrange other posts for its members. The sky was bing dimmer, and the hazy weather seemed to persist all along. This mountain the two Demon Hunt Squads climbed could be considered very high, with a height of roughly seven or eight hundred meters. Everyone was still dressed as aristocracy of the Moon n. After approximately half an hour, they already reached the summit. Surveying the scene from the summit, they could see a mountain range from afar, which corresponded perfectly to the maps information. This mountain range was connected with a vast area of hills: even the mountains werent so high, which was because the demon territory wasnt very exposed to the sunshine. In both mountains and hills, vegetation was rarely seen, and in times of winter like now, the terrain seemed even more empty, giving off a feeling of mncholy. Long Haochen unfolded the map once again,paring it to the terrain itself. At the time they epted the missions, they received two maps: one indicated the rough location of the cavern, and the second one was a detailed map of the mountain range. In this map was a red mark, which was naturally the location of the cavern. The others all surrounded Long Haochen, helping to block the mountain gust arriving at him, so as to let him watch the map more conveniently. The Deste Cavern this Fiend Commander previously referred to, was precisely the Deste Hissing Cavern we have set as our destination for this mission. We have cut off the demon sides reinforcements, and didnt let them give out any message. No further reinforcement shoulde during the uing days. Based on the assisting armys strength as well as the request for help they had in the Deste Hissing Cavern, the remaining demons should be nothing to worry about. The greatest existing menace should lie in the danger of the cavern in itself. If not for the fact that this Grand Fiend Cavalrys destination was the Deste Hissing Cavern, Long Haochen wouldnt have let his teammates take so many risks in acting to dispose of us. But having gotten the confirmation that the counterparts were reinforcements headed to the caverns side, he passed the battlemand without hesitation. This was a decision done resolutely, because in case this Grand Fiend Cavalry arrived at destination to the Deste Hissing Cavern and they still kept following, they were bound to arise the counterparts suspicions and wouldnt be able to catch them off guard with a surprise attack at this time. Furthermore, if the two demon forces linked up, the battles difficulty would increase tremendously, so the best choice was to dispose of the reinforcements first. Should be there. Long Haochen raised a finger, pointing at a little waist of mountain on the other side, because a cavity was on it, It cannot be seen very clearly, but ording to the maps informations, the cavern should be at this direction. Just at that time, a hiss echoed loudly and suddenly. Huu. The ear-shrinking hissing sound reverberated in the whole mountains, echoing a time after another and causing everyone to feel chills on their whole body. The violent hiss didnt stop at that, but a loud hiss echoed after another, carrying increasingly distinct excitement. Together with the increase of the sound, it seemed that the mountain range trembled from the hisses. The violent sound waves even caused some rocks to shatter,unching horrifying colliding sounds. Everyone unawarely covered their own ears: the palpitation everyone had from these sounds caused an intense fear from the depths of their heart. In particr, a few girls faces were already pale. The violent hissessted for no less than a quarter of an hour, before gradually stopping. Although it had no wounding power, it produced a terrifying effect in these wide mountains. It should being from the Deste Hissing Cavern. If the soundsing from the cavern are so loud, Im afraid that we are about to turn deaf inside of it Luc Xi spoke with an uglyplexion. The spatial mage from the fourth soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, Yi Jun, dered, This is quite a problem. My spatial magic can cut off the sound to some extent, but this will use up my spiritual energy over time, so Im afraid I cannotst long. I should be able to cut it off for a duration of five minutes and thats it. If we consider that I dont battle and do it to my limit, I should be able tost for ten minutes. Long Haochen nodded, and asked, Who else would be able to block the sound froming in our way? They looked at each other in session, and in the end, the one who spoke was Chen Yinger. I have two magical crystals of spatial attribute, that should be able to cause McDull to transform into a spatial magical beast of the sixth step. He should be able to defend us for some time with it. Only, I estimate that I will only be able tost for five minutes. If I match with Yi Jun, we would be able tost for fifteen minutes. The problem is that I have only two of these. Long Haochen nodded, and dered, Lets go then! We should find the cavern first, and speak of it again then. If we are unable to deal with the problem of these violent hissing sounds inside, we will have to give up on its exploration and leave. Going down the mountain was naturally a lot faster than to climb it, and half an hourter, they finally reached the other side of the mountain. However, they were still unable to spot the existence of the mountains peak. Just when they started looking for the Deste Hissing Cavern, the violent hisses sounded once again. Due to the short distance, at the time the hissing sounds echoed again, everyone felt dizzy and hurried to gather, making use of their respective spiritual energy to protect themselves from the sound, isting themselves from these sound waves as far as possible. However, this hissing sounds clearly turned out to be not so easy to handle. The extremely powerful sound waves didnt only pass through their ears, invading them, but also caused their bodies to shake intensely. From the shaking, the spiritual energy in their bodies was also consumed. The sound waves clearly increased in power, but it was still not as if they were totally unable to bear it. After all, this mors greatest part came from the mountains echo. At this precise time, a few figures suddenly drilled up at a distance of fifty meters from them. Covering their ears with energy, they tried their best to resist the noise. Fiends? Drilling out first was shockingly a Grand Fiend, followed by two slim Fiend Mages carrying ck staves. Behind them were five or six more Little Fiends. These Little Fiends had miserable appearances, their mouth, nose and the corners of their eyes leaking out ck blood, clearly caused from the fact they were unable to bear the terrible sound waves transmitted from the insides of the Hissing Cavern. Long Haochen waved his hand forward, and the assassin of the fourth Demon Hunt Squad, Han Daosi, suddenly dashed forward while causing silver ripples to appear in the air. These fiends were clearly in a weak state, and Long Haochen didnt hope to obtain any sort of information from their mouths, preferring rather to dispose of them the fastest possible. Luc Xi mumbled a few incantations aloud, holding his hands staff high and golden undting radiances spread, covering everyone inside. Immediately, the twitchy feeling they had from the hisses was reduced. This was a priests meditative stance. The hisses still continued for a quarter of an hour before stopping and the thirteen members of the two Demon Hunt Squads immediately felt as if relieved from a great burden. After they got closer, the hisses also increased in power. Nheless, they relied on their own spiritual energy to block it, and could bear it at longst though it was with difficulty.

Chapter 240: Self Created Technique: Ripples of Light (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Searching around the area where those Fiend Demons appeared from, Long Haochen and his teammates finally found their destination, the Deste Hissing Cavern. Rather than saying this was a cavern, one should say that it was a crevice. The crevice was three meters broad, six or seven meters high and the interior was pitch-dark. With an unknown depth, countless cracks covered the caves wall, clearly made from the terrifying sound waves. Using his spiritual energy in an attempt to inspect the hardness of the rock, he figured that it was even harder than granite. After observing this ce, everyone looked at Long Haochen and Lin Xin unhappilyined, This mission the Alliance bestowed us is really quite something. They didnt make it clear to us that the Deste Hissing Cavern was such a terrifying ce. We havente prepared at all. After pondering for a moment, Long Haochen said in response, From my estimate, the demon forces wont dispatch reinforcement over the uing three days. How about this: everyone will head to the side of the mountain and have a rest there while I will be trying to figure out the intensity of the hissing sounding from inside of the cavern and to estimate how long we would be able tost using our own ability. Captain, you are the whole teams leader, how can we let you face such danger by yourself? I should be the one to do this: if I can bear it, it shouldnt be a problem for any one of us. Long Haochen shook his head, reacting immediately, It wont do: no one knows what or who is inside of this cavern, and you dont have any defensive power. If you meet another Grand Fiend, what will you do? I will be the one going in the cave, its the best option. I wont prate too deeply; in case I sense any danger, I will immediately retreat and that will be it. Lin Xin, prepare some countermeasures against these bursts of sounds. We have to find a way to iste ourselves from this sound, or else, well be hindered by it. Okay. What was a true leader? A true leader was the one who would assume the most dangerous roles during a mission. This was the main reason why Long Haochen had gotten everyone elses approval. Long Haochen pinched Caiers hand, hinting to her that he would be all right, and headed into the cavern withrge strides. The cavern was very dusky, but it wasnt any problem to Long Haochen. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating flew in front of him, and the thin golden light released from her delicate body immediately illuminated the surroundings. After he entered only a dozen or so meters deep into the cavern, two Little Fiends corpses appeared before Long Haochens eyes. Disregarding them, Long Haochen proceeded with his venture into the cavern. Of course, he wouldnt n on prating too deeply into the cavern, where the hissing sound that he would have to endure would be far louder, and the same goes for its intensity. A dense stream of air flowed within the cavern: this ce was a lot colder than the outside world, and the air was also clearly muddier. Long Haochen advanced slowly, carefully observing the surrounding rock walls as he did so. He noticed that there was no trace of the rock walls having been tampered, that they seemed to have been formed naturally and that these rock walls had something inmon with the rest of the cavern: there were many cracks on it,ing from the hissing sounds intense vibrations. There was no pathway before him, only a rugged floor, making it increasingly harder to advance. There was no lighting of any type in the cavern, located in an irregr crack in the maintains and only illuminated by the light essence naturally released from Yatings body. Long Haochen could thus only see his surroundings at a range of ten meters away. As Long Haochen advanced, he silently counted the total distance separating from the entrance. Suddenly, an immense crevice appeared in front of him, after he had walked for an approximate distance of two hundred meters. This crevice looked extremely deep, to the extent that one couldnt see its bottom. Waving the Holy Spirit Sword forward and aiming a Light Thorn in the crack, Long Haochen observed the situation a few dozens meters deep in the crevice, with the help of the light emitted from it. Letting out a breath, surprise immediately appeared on Long Haochens handsome face. Within the crevice were multiple serrated snaps, and in fact, there were several locations he could use to go down inside, but more importantly, he was unable to determine how deep it was. Furthermore, he could distinctly feel that dull spiritual energy fluctuations fluttered around this crevice. These traces of spiritual energy were mild, but carried a fierce aura, as if it belonged to a man-eating monster. Aside from the two Little Fiends of the entrance, Long Haochen hadnt seen any other corpse of demon. It was quite probable that the Fiend n had already prated deeply into this cavern, so he didnt advance any further. _Whats up with this crevice in the end?_ This crevice was broad, but every ce inside was covered in sharp rocks. Thinking that if he was to meet with a powerful enemy in this kind of terrain, he wouldnt even have the chance to disy the slightest part of his strength, he couldnt help but wrinkle his brows. The route forward contained no bifurcation, which was to say that the only way to go forward was to prate deeply into the crevice before his eye. It was also precisely from this direction that the terribly hissing sound busting out from the cavern came from. Not taking the risk to enter more deeply inside, Long Haochen took a few steps back, looking at a section of wall that he could use to lean on it and found a rtively smooth spot to sit, taking a calm stance as he gathered his thoughts. Since the Deste Hissing Caverns was a ce full of unknown danger, the safest method would be to avoid as far as possible to stay in the range of dangerous spots. This time of pause didntst for long, and at the time the third series of terrible hissing sounds started, Long Haochens first reaction was to loosen his breath. The reason why he loosened it was not a reduction of its level of danger, but because of the matter of time. Each of the three series of hissing sounds seemed to have happened with exactly the same interval of time from the previous one. Under such circumstances, they needed to have at least an ample time of preparation. If they werent certain of themselves at the time the hissing sounds started, the level of trouble would be far greater. However, it was only for a very short time that Long Haochen loosened his breath. As he expected it, the level of danger was a lot greater after entering inside of the cavern. Ear-piercing sharp sounds made the whole cavern tremble violently, and Yating immediately made her way back into Long Haochens body. Holy Mantle was the ability Long Haochen immediately released, doing his utmost to block the mournful sound. While defending himself with particr attention, he dispersed the liquid spiritual energy in his whole body, resisting the sonor invasion with all his strength. Aside from the fact these sounds sounded even more mournful than when they were outside, Long Haochen felt some distinct differences inside of the cavern. Regarding these mournful sounds, the reason for these important differencespared to the outside was that in the cavern, the hissing sounds would be even more concentrated. The power their movement produced was enormous, and these violent vibrations seemed to bepletely tearing Long Haochen to shreds. The terrible seismic waves that were produced went as far as to cause cracks to appear rapidly in the Holy Mantle, leading to its copse. The sound waves spreading speed was indeed extremely fast. When Long Haochen felt the formation of the gaps through his mental connection with the Holy Mantle, he immediately released a Divine Light Mantle to reinforce it. Stayingpletely motionless and doing his utmost to operate his spiritual energy to stay in the most stable state possible, he released a second Holy Mantle around him. An insight would often only appear for a short time. The reason why Long Haochen tried hard to maintain his bodys state was to not let the burst of insight he suddenly had slip away. A short timeter, the second Holy Mantle ruptured as well. Although the hissing sounds inside of the cavern were terrible, Long Haochen was still and after all a powerhouse of the fifth step. Since Grand Fiend could barely resist these hissing sounds, how could he not do the same? With the help of this mysterious surge of insight, Long Haochen didnt have the slightest twitchy sensation. Instead, the radiance in his golden eyes lit up increasingly and became more and more brilliant. Holy Mantle was nothing but a Guardian Knight ability of the third step. With Long Haochens current spiritual energy cultivation, it wasnt difficult to spread it at a hundred meters diameter, to say nothing of the fact he had the help of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating. Until this Holy Mantle shattered once again, Long Haochen stayed totally motionless, and didnt attempt anything, only trying to get hold of this burst of insight, not letting it go away, and feeling it through his senses in silence. Deep in his innerside, he felt an intense joy: as this sensation became more and more distinct, the feeling of joy also strengthened without limit. His internal spiritual energy having reached the 99th level, Long Haochen could be called the most talented knight that had ever existed in the whole continent. Taking this fact in consideration together with his exceptional innate mental capacity, it could be said that outside from Caier, no one could possibly match him in the aspects of perception and understanding. Prepared people will always be the ones to grab the opportunities. With this burst of understanding, Long Haochen gradually revealed a smile on his face. At the time the hissing sounds disappeared, Long Haochen felt disappointed instead of the opposite, but this burst of insight would never be able to run off from him anymore, because it already became an entire part of Long Haochens understanding. A light purple radiance appeared in Long Haochens forefront, and in the next instant, he disappeared without basis from the depths of the cavern. With a sh of purple light, Long Haochen appeared by Haoyues side. At this time, the two Demon Hunt Squads were working together in building a simple rock cavern to cut off the sound. Long Haochens sudden appearance caused everyone to have a fright, almost taking out their weapons aggressively. Its me. Long Haochen hurried to say. Seeing him, everyone couldnt help but open their eyes wide, and even Caier wasnt an exception. It was because the method he used to appear so suddenly was too unusual. He was after all a knight, and not an expert in camouge like an assassin. Long Haochen revealed a smile, Since we all belong to the same side, I dont need to conceal it from you, but I share a blood contract with Haoyue, and thus, through the connection between our blood vessels, we are able to teleport at each others side. For this reason, I can say that no matter what kind of danger I am confronting, as long as Haoyue is outside, I have the assurance to be able to get away. The members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were still better off, but outside from Li Xin, everyone of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads felt as if they were confronted with a total freak. They even felt disappointed that they werent part of the same Demon Hunt Squad as Long Haochen. Long Haochen dered, As we anticipated it, the hissing sounds will be even more powerful inside the cavern, and carry violent sound waves and vibrations, efficient in shing against spiritual energy. However, I did a test back then: when confronting thest round of hissing sound, I was approximately depleted of 20% of my spiritual energy. Since there are differences in everyones strength, I estimate that it will at most consume 40% of your spiritual energies. Chapter 241 - Self-Created Technique! Ripples of Light (II)

Chapter 241: Self-Created Technique! Ripples of Light (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales If we match with each other, making use of defensive abilities with area effects, we should only consume about a tenth of our individual resources every time. At the edge of the cavern, the level of trouble isnt high, but I discovered a crevice deep inside. It was so deep that I could not see its bottom, and is precisely the ce from where the hissing sounds came. None of us know what there is inside, but I could sense spiritual energy fluctuations filled with evil intent down below. It is highly possible that a magical beast or an unknown danger resides in it. Since everyone saw my self-preserving ability, you should understand why, but I am nning to make this exploration by myself. This time, I will properly make use of the gem to record everything. How about letting mee along? Caier asked Long Haochen. Long Haochen shook his head, Id better go alone. With Haoyue being here, I will be able to teleport back at any time. Caier nodded silently. In reality, with Long Haochens current strength, as long as he didnt end up being ambushed and defeated instantly by a powerful enemy, there was no need to worry for his safety. But could it be so easy to defeat him instantly? In fact, one shouldnt forget that he had the Spirit Sharing Shackles, connecting him spiritually with his six other teammates. Even a powerhouse of the eighth step would not necessarily manage this. Since even Caier agreed, the others had no reason to disapprove. That Long Haochen expressed he would use the Recording Gem to record his exploration was already proof that he didnt have any selfish motives. Even if he discovered some great treasures, this would be recorded down by the Recording Gem. The blood contracting with instant teleportation as a benefit was simply perfect for this kind of exploration mission. This was also one of the reason why, even though Long Haochen knew that this mission would be rtively difficult toplete, he still decided to ept it. After a moment of resting and reorganizing, Long Haochen entered the Deste Hissing Cavern a second time. Due to the experience he had from his previous exploration, he walked the route easily, up to the location of the crevice. However, at this point, he didnt keep moving forward with undue haste, but halted at the ce he sat previously. At the time the hissing sounds started for the fourth time, Long Haochen revealed a smile of satisfaction. As he spread his Holy Mantle a second time, a fantastic scene happened. At the surface, there seemed to be no change on Long Haochens Holy Mantle, but upon looking carefully, one would notice that the gold colored mantle had a hazier appearance. The use of vibrations, was the exnation of this phenomenon. The Holy Mantle was vibrating at the same frequency as the hissing sound waves. This was the result of the insight Long Haochen had, which he called Ripples of Light. The burst of insight he had previously was precisely rted to the trajectory and the patterns the hissing sound waves vibrations followed, as well as the energy contained in the sound waves themselves. At this moment, he used the same kind of operating method and copied its trajectory with his own spiritual energy. He still found it hard toprehend, but Holy Mantles duration increased by twofold, before ending up smashed to pieces by the sound waves. Revealing a hard to conceal joy, Long Haochen used Holy Mantle for a second time. The previous time he came here, he gained some understanding, but this time, he nned on testing and training. By the means of his understanding and perception far exceeding ordinary people, at the time hepleted five Holy Mantles, it already reached a level of perfection close to the sound waves. Just as it blendedpletely with the waves, not only did itpletely block the sound from entering, it also isted himpletely from the attacksing along. The Holy Spirit Sword appeared once again in Long Haochens right hand, instantly filled with spiritual energy, and releasing a dazzling golden brilliance. This portion of golden light shared the Ripples of Lights fast frequency. Long Haochen came to understand clearly that using spiritual energy inbination with Ripples of Light woulde with twice the energy consumption he ordinarily would have, but the Holy Mantles defensive power didnt only increase by two folds: it had even reached a level close to that of Light Elemental Shields. When Holy Mantle was released together with Ripples of Light, the most important advantages were the surprising nature of the results and its spiritual energy cost-efficiency ratio. Although the consumption of spiritual energy would be doubled in this case, it becameparable with spells of the fifth step. More importantly, it still had the same very short recast time of a Holy Mantle. Waving the Holy Spirit Sword calmly, Long Haochen immediately felt that supplementary series of buzzing sounds were being released from his sword. It wasnt a loud sound, but carried the same frequency as the hissing sounds outside. With the Holy Mantles defense, the hissing sounds already had no effect at all. Taking a step forward, he approached the stone wall, directly using the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand to pierce it. A scene that even astonished Long Haochen happened. The Holy Spirit Sword, a mere magical weapon, unexpectedly managed to pierce the stone walls like it was butter, and without too much friction. Long Haochen had a clear understanding of his own strength as well as his Holy Spirit Swords capabilities, and for this precise reason, he was even more shaken by the feat he had just aplished. He had clearly felt that under the high frequency vibrations of spiritual energy carried by his Holy Spirit Sword, the stone walls had just been dissolved. It gave him a strange feeling, and could be described as saying that with the existence of Ripples of Light, the formidable power of a single Holy Spirit Sword was at least increased by tenfoldpared to before. And this was without making use of his terrifying state of Sacrifice. This amplification already outstripped everything Long Haochen knew of by far. If he used Sacrifice, Ripples of Lights amplification would not be anything like this, but enough to break past a difference of offensive power of a whole step without problem. Just think! Would a Holy Sword of the sixth step and a Holy Sword of the fifth step be the same? Under normal circumstances, abilities at the sixth step would consume three to five times more spiritual energy than at the fifth step. But Ripples of Light only required Long Haochen to consume twice more spiritual energy! Furthermore, it was a fifth step ability that could have the power of a sixth step ability, in addition to a surprise aspect, and the preparation time of an ability of the fifth step and nothing more. This was Long Haochens first self-created technique, and without the slightest doubt, it had a great help in unleashing his potential. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating flew out from Long Haochens chest, looking at him with a smile and letting out a bizarre noise from her mouth. In her capacity as Long Haochens contracted fairy, she could also learn any of the abilities Long Haochen could use. And clearly, she also felt the great utility of this ability named Ripples of Light. Releasing a Spiritual Gathering Halo to help Long Haochen recover from his consumption of spiritual energy, Yating danced in the air, circling around Long Haochen: having such a master caused her to feel extremely fortunate. To Elemental Fairies, the greatest desire wasnt to evolve, but to increase their strength continuously. After getting a human master, their evolution would be intimately rted to the increase in their masters strength. If Yatings cultivation could one day reach a certain level, letting her evolve to the level of Fairy Queen, she would even be able to produce her own physical body. At that time, the lineage of the higher-ranked fairies, which had gone extinct close to ten thousand years ago, would be reborn. In fact, although in the whole continent, Elemental Fairies were rare and few, they still existed. However, since ten thousand years ago, none had ever been able to evolve to the level of higher ranked fairy. And Yating currently ced these hopes on Long Haochen, clearly believing in this possibility. The violent hissing sounds weakened with Long Haochens influence, before disappearing again. With his understanding of the Ripples of Light, Long Haochen gained a huge boost in his self-confidence. He retreated back to the entrance of the cave, opening the Recording Gem and entering again in the cave, without stopping this time, but directly jumping in the crevice, while releasing Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light from his body. Long Haochen had already chosen since a long time which ce he would jump to. Going down, he turned to the direction of a rock wall at a distance of ten meters. Then, gathering his spiritual energy to make his body as light as possible, Long Haochennded lightly on rock edges, on his tiptoes. After getting rid of the impulse force, he aimed a Light Thorn downward, so as to illuminate the path, and followed it. Yating circled in the air at Long Haochens side, helping him by illuminating the surroundings as she kept chanting the incantation for the Spiritual Gathering Halo, helping Long Haochen to recover his spiritual energy. What amazed Long Haochen was that inside of this Deste Hissing Cavern, Yating was actually valiant. With his physique of Scion of Light plus the two precious evolution she had, her appearance became a lot less pitiful. Doing all of this at once would normally have been impossible to her, but fortunately, his consumption wasnt so great and furthermore, nurtured by the Saint Spiritual Stoves effects, she managed to make progress by making use of his own spiritual energy. Long Haochen was very careful on the route downwards. Not only paying attention to possible other individuals, he also looked carefully at the surroundings. The more they went down, the more intense this evil spiritual energy aura was growing. In this evil intent existed also a deathly stillness. It was different from Caiers killing intent as it seemed to be a pure deathly aura that spread to him, and the fierce aspect of this spiritual energy was something Long Haochen had never felt before. This crevice was incredibly deep, and with Long Haochens slow advancing speed, no less than half an hour passed. At the time of the next round of hissing sounds, he still couldnt see an end to this abyss. Surrounded in pitch-ck, Long Haochen, who had total light attribute, began to feel extremely unwell from the dense deathly aura. If not for the Light Elemental Fairy Yatings illumination in addition to his asional Light Thorn, the surroundings would be nothing more than a pitch-ck scene. In the middle of falling down, Long Haochen saw even more Grand Fiends corpses, hanging on some rocks. Very clearly, these Grand Fiends had died from the influence of the hissing sounds during their exploration. Even Long Haochen, who was at the fifth step and had gained the understanding of the Ripples of Light, was feeling strained, let alone these Grand Fiends of the fifth step. Even the team of Grand Fiends they had gotten rid of before would probably not have made it so far. His spiritual energys recovery speed was already far from being able to catch up with his consumption, and in the middle of these hissing sounds, Long Haochen had no choice but to look for a rock edge, the smoother possible, to sit and rest. Chapter 242 - Self-Created Technique! Ripples of Light (III)

Chapter 242: Self-Created Technique! Ripples of Light (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the same time, he concentrated on sensing the link between Haoyue and himself. That, was the most crucial. Only if the blood contract was not inhibited could he keep exploring without worrying about anything. Based on Long Haochens estimate, he had already covered over 2,000 meters in the past two hours. Arriving at apletely different altitude from the height of the mountain from before, he could finally be considered to be thoroughly underground. And he discovered that the more he advanced downwards, the wider the crevice would be. On this aspect, this dark cave was just like a bottomless pit. The hissing sounds were clearly bing stronger and stronger, and likewise its intensity. Because of hisprehension of the mysteries of the Ripples of Light, Long Haochen discovered upon careful observation that the sound waves vibration would also speed up as the violent hissing sounds gained in power,. Attempting to raise the frequency of the vibration of his own Holy Mantles spiritual energy, he immediately felt that not only would his spiritual energys consumption increase substantially, but also, increasing the frequency would be harder and harder as it raised. This was due to his cultivation being insufficient. Even if Long Haochen didnt test it, he was certain that the faster the frequency became, the stronger the offensive power of the Ripples of Light would be. That was to say that this ability would strengthen along with his own cultivation. He was currently very satisfied: during this trip inside of the demon territory, the squad already gained quite a lot. Even if they didnt manage toplete the mission in the end, there wouldnt be any loss from the attempt. In case he discovered a danger the two Demon Hunt Squads would be unable to contend against, they would just withdraw and that would be it. Safety was their top priority! Furthermore, as long as he could save an image on their gem, it would serve as proof in convincing his teammates of the danger. As he tried to deepen his understanding of the Ripples of Light further, Long Haochen resisted the threat brought by these hissing sounds. His own spiritual energy nearly depleted by a half, he waspletely certain that arriving at his current point would be impossible without a cultivation level at the fifth step or higher, much less to keep advancing. At best, someone with a cultivation at the sixth step would be able to block the aerial danger by relying on his own spiritual energy, and decrease the falling speed by a great extent. At the same time, the opening of the spiritual orifices at the sixth step would make it a lot easier to recover his spiritual energy. The hissing sounds rang once again, and Long Haochen confirmed his own safety by sending Haoyue a message. Acting cautiously, he sat down, putting great efforts into recovering his spiritual energy in this ce that was almost devoid of light essence. In this dangerous cave of an unknown degree of danger, it was naturally better to be more careful. Long Haochen also discovered that precisely because of the surrounding light essence was thin, the Saint Spiritual Stove inside of him was revolving at a much slower speed, as if trying to adapt to this environment In Long Haochens capacity as the Scion of Light, as long as light essence was present in the external world, no matter how he cultivated, the light essence would still remain inexhaustible. This time was the first time he ever cultivated in a ce so poor in light essence, and yet, his bodys spiritual energy was still continuously spinning, with the Saint Spiritual Stove as its center. If Long Haochens cultivation level was sufficient, this process would gradually give himprehension of the subtle mysteries of the spiritual cavities, but unfortunately, his current cultivation was clearly far from enough. However, an indistinct change was produced in his Saint Spiritual Stoves rotations and it came a step closer to acquiring a new ability. Spiritual energy passed through it, just as if entering a physical entity, flowing through it as it grewrger. This was the only method Long Haochen currently had to replenish his spiritual energy. Unable to absorb any light essence from the external world, Yatings current use was to help Long Haochen by urately controlling the rotations of the light essence inside of his body. With her presence, Long Haochen didnt have to worry about losing control as he only needed a thought to attain an exquisite control. Gradually, Long Haochen entered a state of meditation despite the kind of ce he was in. The fact that he managed to stay focused enough to aplish this without distraction showed how pure his heart was. The original Saint Spiritual Stove was just like a vessel, discreetly helping Long Haochen produce liquid spiritual energy, but now, it performed an uninterrupted role of operator, switching from its previous role as the vessel to gain a more crucial one. From its previous state as merely a small three-legged cauldron that just helped him in gaining knowledge of the spiritual energy, it started to take on an essential role. The liquid spiritual energy pulled in by this spiritual stove revolved around it, gradually shrinking in size until attaining a liquid state and even giving Long Haochen a palpating feeling. Long Haochen was currently doing his utmost to stay in a steady state of mind while concentrating his thoughts on the Saint Spiritual Stove and sensing the Saint Spiritual Stove in his state of meditation in this peculiar ce, in which he was unable to absorb light essence. This was clearly a very intelligent method, reproducing the process of the time when the Saint Spiritual Stove had produced liquid spiritual energy in him for the first time. With his powerful mental capacity, he was able to sense the majority of the changes within his Saint Spiritual Stove, and discovered that the liquid spiritual energy in it was unexpectedly beingpressed. Simply said, it was as if each drip of the liquid spiritual energy in the spiritual stove was forcibly split into two before slowly expanding by absorbing the energying from the outside world. Although Long Haochen was only recovering his bodys spiritual energy, it was still by the same process of absorbing the external light essence as usual, so where could the current changes on the Saint Spiritual Stovee from? For what reason could it make new advances in handling the light essence? Some chances were only meant to be found by those who could perceive it, and being such a person, Long Haochen quickly started solving this mystery. This peculiar state his spiritual energy was in was unexpectedly came from the other types of energies present in this dark cavern. _This This is_ Long Haochen felt his heart tremble violently as some words his father told him instantly came to mind. To any vocation starting from the fifth step onwards, each step will represent an immense watershed. The difference between the fourth step and the fifth step is the liquid spiritual energy, whereas the difference from the fifth step and the sixth step lies in the spiritual cavities. Only when someone forms their spiritual cavities can he be called a real powerhouse. Thats because the spiritual cavities will raise his fighting and surviving capability more than ever before. To Long Haochen, the two people who influenced him the most starting from the moment he started cultivating were Long Xingyu and Ye Hua. Before reaching the fifth step, if we put the fact Long Xingyu gave him a Saint Spiritual Stove aside, Ye Hua had been in fact more helpful to Long Haochen than his own father. Because of hisck of innate talent, Ye Hua put all of his efforts into researching the lower levels of cultivation, giving Long Haochen a more optimal path to follow. This was the reason why Long Haochen managed to progress so quickly and gain an understanding of lower ranked techniques as well as the strategic aspects of the battlefield that far exceeded the norm. However, in the end, Ye Huas research was limited: he was, after all, limited by his rank of Earth Knight. Only after being shared Long Haochens innate talent did he manage to break through to the level of a Radiant Knight. How could hepare to a Divine Knight such as Long Xingyu on this aspect? What Long Xingyu passed on Long Haochen was his former experience. It wasnt as detailed as Ye Huas lessons, but it gave Long Haochen an overall guideline of the cultivation from the lower to the higher steps. Spiritual cavities have two uses. The first one is to reinforce the speed of recovery of the spiritual energy. As long as you have them, you wont need to meditate painstakingly. Even simply breathing will gradually restore the spiritual energy in your body. The major reason why powerhouses canst so long in the battlefield is precisely the essential utility of these spiritual cavities. However, you shouldnt neglect the other use they have, which is the ability of transforming any type of energies, situated in any kind of environment, into the same energy you use. These two uses will enable anybatant to maintain his fighting strength in whichever type of environment they are in while greatly increasing their survivability on the battlefield. Long Xingyus words were something Long Haochen remembered perfectly. And the current situation was just as he was told: in such a dark ce, the Saint Spiritual Stove had surprisingly temporarily acquired the second utility of the spiritual cavities. Although this second ability was quite inferior to the first one, it was what Long Haochen needed the most in the current situation. Long Haochen concentrated his attentionpletely on gradually recovering his spiritual energy. This situation was rare toe by: he clearly understood that the difficulty of condensing spiritual cavities far surpassed the difficulty of reaching the level of producing liquid spiritual energy. It was very fortunate that the Saint Spiritual Stove gave him this chance, helping him deepen hisprehension at such a time. In the near future when he really have to condense his spiritual cavities, the time he will need to break through the bottleneck will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, the current changes in the Saint Spiritual Stove seemed like the start of its second evolution. Fundamental changes were often bound to happen in session, and Long Haochen had another reason to remain fully concentrated. It was the fact that the current state the Saint Spiritual Stove was beneficial to both Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light and the Light Elemental Fairy Yating. In ones lifetime, this sort of asion was truly hard toe by, rare to the extent that Long Haochen sat there for two whole hours. Experiencing the series of hissing sounds consecutively before restoring his spiritual energy, he didnt need to provide more spiritual energy to his Holy Mantle and stayed in a focused meditative state. At the time the Saint Spiritual Stove managed to revolve without constraints, he finally awoke from this state. Standing up with reluctance, Long Haochen immediately passed a message of his safety to Haoyue. If he was alone, he would even be willing to stay seated a lot longer, using various methods to consume his spiritual energy. To anyone else, such a rare chance in cultivation would truly be something that takes courage to abandon, but to Long Haochen, that would be out of the question as he still had his teammates waiting for him outside. The demon territory was far from safe, so he couldnt stay there for too long. The first day Ye Hua passed his knowledge as a Guardian Knight onto him, he stressed these words to him, Responsibility is the eleventh standard for a Guardian Knight. Chapter 243 - Eternal Rest (I)

Chapter 243: Eternal Rest (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Feeling the abundant spiritual energy in constant improvement, Long Haochen jumped once again, descending at high speed. The cavern was pitch-ck, and sinister enough to make anyone feel cowardly, but with the illumination of his own body, Long Haochen looked extremely calm. This time the rest of the descent didntst for so long, and a mere minuteter, a dusky gloss caught his attention: he was finally seeing the bottom of the pit. There, the wide pit suddenly shrank, and as long Haochennded firmly on the ground, he could faintly see a gray luster ahead. Despite this grey radiance being mild, it was very eye-catching in this pitch-ck cavern. Shield in left hand and sword in right hand, putting the entire Holy Spirit Set in use, Long Haochen very carefullyunched a Holy Sword technique once again making use of the Ripples of Light, aiming in the direction of the grey gloss. Wu Wu An uninterrupted low-pitched sound could be heard, sounding just like the rehearsal of the Deste Hissing Caverns hissing sounds. About three hundred meters forward, the grey became more distinct, changing into a curve and suddenly looking richer and more powerful. It was to the extent that the sudden ash grey color that could finally be seen seemed to look gaudy for Long Haochens eyes. However, at the next moment, he couldnt help but be shocked, taking a step back almost unconsciously, and raising his shield, taking a standard defensive Guardian Knight posture. This scene was truly shocking; no matter how many guesses Long Haochen could possibly have had about this Deste Hissing Cavern, they were all far off from reality. Standing a hundred meters in front of him was an extremely wide space, forming an enormous conical cave. The caves stone wall were just as mirrors, reflecting the grey radiance which gave a sentiment of death stillness, an illusory feeling. The ceiling was at a height of over 150 meters, and standing there, Long Haochen appeared like nothing more but a tiny insect. And this wasnt the most shocking thing. What even Long Haochen found unconceivable was that, three thousand meters under ground, stood a tower. Thats right, it was a tower, a seven floored tower, which had a height of over a hundred meters. Simple and unadorned, it gave off a grey luster, filling the ash grey towers surroundings with terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy. This tower was located at the middle of that conical cave, upying the overwhelming majority of its space. Grey fog was continuously released from that tower, and those formidable fluctuations of spiritual energy were even enough to cause Long Haochen, the Scion of Light, to shiver from the depths of his heart. A formidable and terrible existence, this was the first impression this tower gave him. Around that tower were countless ash-grey-colored lusters, revolving around, just like fireflies that pointed to the towers direction, densely packed and attaching themselves at the numerous ash-grey lights outside of the tower. At this very moment, the violent hissing sounds suddenly rang, and this ash-grey particles seemed to agitate, scattering in all directions. The terrifying sound waves were at least three times more powerful than thest time Long Haochen heard them, and instantly caused the Holy Mantle surrounding him to copse, giving him no choice but to immediately erect another one, putting all his strength in increasing the frequency of the Ripples of Light. Even so, the Holy Mantle Long Haochen released still crumbled at an astonishing speed. By chance, Holy Mantle was a spell of the third step, so Long Haochen released one Holy Mantle after another, barely managing to maintain his shield against these terrible hissing sounds. An rmed look instantly appeared on his face, because he discovered to his astonishment that the lumps of ash-gray radiances were unexpectedly filled with intense soul waves, and these terrible hissing sounds were actually howlinging from their soul. _What kind of existence can they possibly be? What is this tower?_ Long Haochen was filled with questions, but at the same time, he didnt dare ponder over it, only focusing his mental capacity on resisting these unprecedentedly powerful sound waves. Long Haochen could say with certainty that if not for his previous understanding of the Ripples of Light, he wouldnt havested for more than a minute here, before being ripped apart by the terrible sound waves. In normal circumstances, resisting these terrible hissing sounds would be something only a powerhouse of the seventh step could possibly aplish. This times series of hissing sound felt particrly long to Long Haochen, and as it finally stopped, and Long Haochen discovered to his astonishment that over half of his spiritual energy had been already depleted. As a Demon Hunt Squad Captain, Long Haochens first conclusion was that this mission wasnt something their two Demon Hunt Squads could possiblyplete. Exploring the Deste Hissing Cavern naturally included this mysterious tower. But with his cultivation level, could he possibly manage this exploration? Setting up a tower in the depths of this underground, what kind of existence could possibly aplish that feat? Even if it wasnt an entity such as the Demon God Emperor, at least it would be a powerhouse of the ninth step. It was simply unthinkable to let his teammatese there. Among the twelve others, no one other than Caier could possibly resist the terrible sound wavesing along with the hissing sounds. _Should I retreat at this point?_ Long Haochen was truly unwilling: after putting so much efforts before arriving there, would he simply withdraw like that? _No, anyhow, I might as well take a look at that tower_ Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen transferred his energy into the Saint Spiritual Stove to recover spiritual energy as he focused on sensing the blood link between Haoyue and himself. The link between them was just as close as before, without a doubt. _Thats right, even in that other world Haoyue came from, I could still join him through our blood link. But now, its a mere physical distance that is separating us._ At the time Long Haochen raised his head once again, he discovered that the soul energy waspletely disseminated in the entire empty space, slowly heading to the direction of the tower. From the look of it, they were nning to join up at this towers level, just like before. Then, the hissing sounds would appear one again, and this cycle would continue endlessly. Taking his chance, Long Haochen took a few steps forward,pletely unable to be certain of whether these ash grey souls would try to act against him, which is why he had to be careful. But as he feared it, that was the case. At the time Long Haochen took a first step to this conical caves direction, a dozen of neighbouring lights of soul energy discovered his presence, and frantically threw themselves at him with no hesitation. At a close distance, Long Haochen could clearly see that those ash-grey colored light of soul energy all had malevolent appearances. Although it was nothing more but condensed soul energy, it still appeared very fierce-looking. The first of them fiercely charged at the Holy Mantle that Long Haochen had already prepared as an answer to the attack. The lights of soul energy were an entity formed of energy, specters filled with deathly aura, and thus light attribute had to some extent a restricting effect against them, which is why he confronted them without worries. However, in the instant the specters hit the Holy Mantle, Long Haochen was greatly shocked. _BangC_ The Holy Mantle was instantly broken, and Long Haochen felt as if his brain had been struck by a hammer, as a terrifying energy permeated with death and coldness unexpectedly directly hit his soul, just as if trying to forcibly take possession of his body. This evil and ice-cold soul energy was exceptionally formidable, to the extent that the moment it pounded against Long Haochen, his mind became nk for a short time. Even the Light Elemental Fairy Yating in Long Haochens body was firmly suppressed. When confronting these formidable Specters, she could only tremble in response. His mindpletely nk, Long Haochen didnt have the ability tomunicate with Haoyue: these specters power was truly too terrifying. He had only been confronted to a very little portion of the hundreds of specters, but even such an unremarkable number of very small ones had caused Long Haochen to even lose all opportunity to escape. In this very critical situation, a purple glow shone in Long Haochens eye as nine purple colored lights appeared on his forehead. In a sh, purple ripples came out from Long Haochens body, and all the specters, regardless of whether it was the ones already sticked on Long Haochen or the ones on their ways to join them, let out a mournful cry under the pressure of the purple light, immediately fleeing at high speed. The purple glow shot in front of Long Haochen, and Haoyues enormous figure appeared floating in the air, guarding Long Haochens back. A dense purple color spread in front of him and all around without stopping, and Little Light, Little me as well as Little Greens six eyes turned into a purple color. Previously, the iparably strong Specters which even caused Long Haochen to be unable to block, were unexpectedly in a state of total fear when confronting Haoyue. Under this melody of hissing sounds, they escaped in session, and even the more distant group of specters didnt dare approach. This wasnt the first time Long Haochen got to see this purple glow surrounding Haoyue, but now was clearly the first time it was so dazzling. It was soul strength, or more precisely the strengthing out from Haoyues soul. Seeing that these specters didnt dare advance, Long Haochen couldnt help but loosen his breath. Just then, he really felt as if the control his own body was being forcibly taken away. Haoyue and Long Haochens minds were connected, and having gotten his instructions, Long Haochens body disappeared in a sh, jumping on Haoyues back. With him by his side, Long Haochen immediately felt at great ease. Haoyue, lets head back. Long Haochen gave that enormous ash-grey tower an unwilling look as he said so. Haoyue turned his three heads at Long Haochens direction, and thetter discovered surprisingly that the purple color in their eyes was actually glinting with excitement. Shaking his three heads simultaneously, Haoyue transmitted his thoughts, telling Long Haochen that this ce would temporarily be safe, and although danger would still exist inside of the tower, it wont directly fall upon them and would be something they would be able to temporarily deal with. Then, he suggested Long Haochen to enter in the tower to take a look at its first floor. Chapter 244 - Eternal Rest (II)

Chapter 244: Eternal Rest (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Although Long Haochen was still hesitating, Haoyues suggestion immediately rose the mes of desire in his heart. At least for the moment, Haoyue was able to suppress the specters residing around the outside of the tower. Just taking a nce at the situation of this tower shouldnt be too dangerous right? Alright, lets take a look then. Hou, hou, hou. Three bellows were simultaneously produced from Haoyues three heads, and charging at a great speed, he carried Long Haochen toward the direction of the tower. As the radiance released from Haoyues soul approached them, the great amount of specters in his path scattered, and not a single one darede into contact. Haoyue held his head high, swiping his nce all around without restraint. The distance of a several hundred meters was covered in a split second with Haoyues charge. The entrance of the tower could not be seen at all from the ce where Long Haochen was previously standing, but as they ran to its base, a three meters high gate appeared in front of the man and the beast. Seeing that gate, the first impression Long Haochen had was that it was a construction built by humans. The gate was ash-gray in color and wasnt decorated in any carving or design, so it couldnt be rted to the higher elven tribes, and furthermore, on the upper part of the gate were words written on a wide stone. These words were written in anguage that was very simr to the current human tongue, only, the structure of the letters was moreplex. Nevertheless, Long Haochen managed to vaguely recognize them. The words written on it were Eternal Rest. Although this gate was simple and not very tall, while standing in front of it, its imposing presence directly assaulted their senses. Haoyues six eyes let out a dazzling brilliance. Advancing to the side, he didnt head to the gates location but instead, ran to its side. Little Green opened his mouth wide, letting out a powerful tornado that pushed the gate open before charging at it to open itpletely. Pop. The gate opened quite easily: against all expectation, this mere gust of wind was enough to open it noiselessly. However, in the instant it opened, a rich dark-grey-colored aura spread in the air, covering the entire room with an extremely pure energy; it was an energy that no living creature would be willing toe into contact, one that carried the essence of death. As if they saw a most terrifying existence, the surrounding specters frantically scattered in all direction, and the hissing sounds that were not supposed to break out at this timing suddenly erupted. Long Haochen made haste to release a Holy Mantle, enveloping Haoyue and himself inside, and putting his whole strength into resisting the sound waves carried by the terrible hissing sounds. The dark-grey aura spread to the outside of the tower, rapidly dispersing in the air. Out of the dozens of surrounding specters that were nearest to the tower, the slowest ones were engulfed by it, immediately turning into nothingness as they left grey ashes on the ground. Clearly, that pure aura of death was something these specters absolutely could not resist. The aura of this tower in itself had an enticing power they were unable to resist. As Long Haochens brain was working at a high speed in analyzing the situation of the surroundings, Haoyue already resumed moving, and in a sh, he entered the tower. An eerie scene happened: in the instant Haoyue stepped into the tower, the hissing sounds outside unexpectedly came to an end and stopped hindering Long Haochen. However, what followed was an indescribable scene, causing Long Haochen to feel a deathly stillness down to his pores. Arge hall appeared before his eyes, but it didnt carry the dark image he expected. The hall that appeared in his view was entirely ash-gray-colored and was far wider than what the tower seemed to look like from the outside. In all directions,rge pirs were supporting a thirty meters high dome, and many ash-gray-colored lights had appeared before their views, twisting in the air, and Long Haochen was unable to clearly see in front of him because of this colorful background. On the sides, eighty-four pirs stood erect in a straight line, whereas in front of them was an indistinct something. The purple soul energy surrounding Haoyues body vanished rapidly and he slowly stepped forward. It was clear that he was extremely cautious.. Long Haochen firmly held his Holy Spirit Sword, which was a bit drenched in sweat. After entering in this world filled with a deathly atmosphere, he felt great changes in his body. First, the recovery of the spiritual energy in his body had unexpectedly increased severalfoldpared to the time they were outside of the tower. That was to say, the elemental energy in this tower was a lot richer than outside. And strangely, the Light Elemental Fairy Yating didnt dare toe out of Long Haochens body, as if this ce contained an extremely dangerous existence Wee to the Eternal Rest. Just as Long Haochen was examining the tower, an aged voice suddenly rang in the empty space of the tower. Long Haochen instantly shivered in surprise, and Haoyue suddenly stopped advancing. The voice was transmitting from all direction, The fact that you managed to reach my Tower of Eternity is proof that you are an outstanding necromancer with a strength at the sixth step or above. Kid, you are very lucky to have made it into my world of deathly arts. The Tower of Eternity is the crystallization of the knowledge I gathered throughout my thousand years of life. As long as you can keep going forward, passing one test after another, and finally reach the top, you will inherit my legacy, and the deathly arts will once again arise in this world, granting death to the hypocrites of the Radiant Church. Step forward, brave man, my child. You are the first necromancer to have ever stepped into the Tower of Eternity, and also my only sessor. You will have to face trials and dangers, but your life wont be threatened. Of course, this is on the premise that you manage to pass my first trial, otherwise, I will consider that you dont have the qualifications to carry on my legacy. As long as you pass this trial, this route will be wide open to you, and I will guard you by your side forever, until the time you finally manage to reach my side that is. Everything you have just heard was thest recording I left before my death. When you leave, the Eternal Rest as well as all the legacy I left behind will be closed to everyone, and only with my keepsake will you be able to enter again. I will be in the tower, waiting for your arrival, for when you will be ready to learn the Saint Deathly Magic Arts and be the disciple of this Slumbering Cmity, Elux. Outside of the Deste Hissing Cavern. Having watched Haoyues disappearance helplessly, the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads couldnt help but be in a state of panic. Li Xin dered, astounded, How is it that Haochen didnte back, but it was instead Haoyue that disappeared?, voicing out the concern everyone had. Ever since they entered in the demon territory, Long Haochen was the entire teams pir and currently, the group wasnt in good shape. After Haoyue disappeared, these youths from the Temple Alliances elite younger generation were panic-stricken. Lin Xin tightened his eyebrows, Haochen said that he would be able to teleport back at Haoyues side in times of danger, but now, if Haoyue was the one teleported, there can be only one exnation. That is he encountered some danger, and it was danger that didnt even allow him to have the time to teleport back. This wont do, we have to immediately go rescue Captain. As he said so, he nned on heading in the direction of the cavern. It wasnt only him, but Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian had the same reaction. But at this time, a figure appeared, blocking the entrance of the cave. Dont lose your head. None of you shall go. Caiers cold voice sounded out, causing everyone else to look nk. If this action was from someone else, they would probably get beaten from the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad immediately, but if this person was Caier, the situation waspletely different. Who was Caier? She was simply the closest person to Long Haochen! If Long Haochen met with danger, how could she not feel anxious? Caier coldly nced at the panicked group, calmly dering, From now onwards, I will temporarily take over Haochens role of captain. Before he returns, everything shall be done ordingly to my orders. Any objection? Luc Xi reacted sternly, Caier, now is not the time to argue about who willmand, but about Haochens safety. Dont tell me we shouldnt head out to save him? During their journey, he had been in total admiration for Long Haochen, and he also knew clearly that if there was one person in the team that could lead everyone back safe and sound, that person was Long Haochen. Caier coldly swept her nce over him, Seeing that Im not panicking, what are you panicking for? Haochen and Haoyue share a blood contract, and this contract makes the two of them the same as one. Even if Haochen lost the ability toe back, in the case he felt that Long Haochen was in a dangerous situation, Haoyue would have been able to teleport him back from his end. But Haoyue didnt do that, and instead chose to teleport to him. Do you know what that means? It means that Haoyue believed that the danger Haochen was put in was something in his scope of control, that he was enough to help him handle it. More importantly, the fact that the hissing sounds suddenly became irregr only a few hours after Haochen entered, implies that he already arrived in the core region of the Deste Hissing Cavern. If he took such a long time to manage this, how long do you think wed need to join his side? If something happened to any of us on the way, wont the situation be even worse when hees back? What we should do now is to calm ourselves, not to head out in disorder. Therefore, lets keep resting here, until he gets back. Since hes our captain, we should trust him and believe that he will be able toe back safe and sound no matter what. It could be said that this exnation from Caier immediately calmed down the whole team. Until now, Long Haochen had been the whole teams dominant figure, the brain as well as the core of the team. At the moment that he wasnt there, Caier spoke up as the one who understood him the most. Though, she appeared even more imposing and intimidating than Long Haochen. Her cold voice gave her words an image of absolute confidence. As top-rate talents, Long Haochen and Caier both had an inherentmanding stature. It was only that Caier had willingly chosen to serve as a prop for Long Haochen that she went unnoticed. Luc Xi immediately looked at Sima Xian, revealing heartfelt admiration. At this time, his only thought was that it would have been great if the priest who belonged to this team with two pirs was him. Chapter 245 - Eternal Rest (III)

Chapter 245: Eternal Rest (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Necromancer? Hearing this word, Long Haochen felt iparably shaken from the depths of his heart. This vocation hadnt appeared in the whole continent over the past ten thousand years! Hearing this word immediately called to his mind a palpitating story his father told him about before. 13,000 years ago, during the antique glorious era, happened the 7,000 most rapid period of development of humanitys history. It was precisely those 7,000 years that established their position as rulers of Shengmo Dalu. At this time, humans had three countries, all of which were iparably powerful, and even surpassed the current Temple Alliance, possessing countless powerhouses. However, why is it that 7,000 years ago, the seventy-two demon gods descended and caused humans to be unable to resist them, narrowly exterminating thempletely, and causing the beginning of the so called dark era? Long Xingyu told Long Haochen that it was because a cmity had befallen during the glorious era, and that the main culprits for this cmity were precisely the necromancers. This cmity led to a huge loss of strength on the side of the three great empires, even causing innombrable powerhouses bloodline to be lost, leading to an insufficiency in power on the human side. It was after their decline and the creation of the Temple Alliance, that the situation was gradually stabilized. That cmity happened several tens of thousands years ago, and pictured necromancers as a vocation that had dealings with death. They were not darkness element mage, but mages with powerful abilities enabling them to form a connection with departed spirits. And at that time, outside of the three great empires, the human world had a fourth power named as the Brilliant Church, as mentioned priorly. The three empires ruled over humans, whereas the Brilliant Church ruled over powerhouses. That was to say, the overwhelming majority of human powerhouses obeyed the Brilliant Church, and even the appetion of glorious era referred to it. As one could well imagine, this was how powerful the Brilliant Church was. A war broke out between the necromancers and the Brilliant Church, which was something very few people nowadays knew about. But even ten thousand yearster, this war remained in humanitys records as a very bitter one. It could be said that the strength the necromancers disyed at that time was not the slightest bit inferior to the current seventy-two demon gods. It was only that the current humanity was far from the strength it had at its peak. When humanity finally obtained victory, exterminatingpletely the necromancer side, it went to the extent that ten thousand yearster, no one had ever heard of necromancers appearing in the continent anymore. However, humanity also paid a disastrous cost. The Supreme Pontiff of the Brilliant Church of that time had finally died, and the same went for many powerful lineage that went extinct. Over 90% of the powerhouses of the Brilliant Church had been killed during this holy war. In thest battle, the Supreme Pontiff of the Brilliant Church fought the head of the necromancers of that time, and that battle narrowly caused a breakdown of the human world. No one knew about the final result, except from the fact that after that battle, both His Majesty Supreme Pontiff and the head of the necromancers had never been seen ever again. The remaining necromancers, who became a group of chiefless dragons, finally lost this Holy War. However, the catastrophe they had brought upon had caused a decline of the human poption by a half, and the death of countless powerhouses, causing numbers of the glorious eras inheritances to disappear. Right after this arrived theter period of the glorious era, and the arrival of the dark era as we know it. It could be said that if not for the disaster the necromancers brought upon the maind, at the time of the seventy-two demon gods descent, they wouldnt necessarily have established themselves in Shengmo Dalu in such a way. If the Brilliant Churchs strength was still as before, how would they have let demons grow so strong? Unfortunately, any if couldnt change things that had already happened, and humans glory fell because of the necromancers as well as the seventy-two demon gods. However, human civilisation was still strong enough to put up a fight; at least until now, it wouldnt be so easy for the seventy-two demon gods to wipe out the Temple Alliance. After their fall, humanity gradually stood up, and now with the appearance of the Scion of Light Long Haochen and the Saint Daughter of Samsara Caier, humanitys time finally hade. Long Haochen gradually came back to his senses, but his golden eyes were still filled with rm. _This tower It is actually the heritage left by the necromancers!_ How shocking could this information be? In fact, at the time the Brilliant Church gained the victory of the holy war, the remaining powerhouses purged the maind of all trace of the necromancers heritage, for hundreds and hundreds of years. All inheritance from the necromancers, resources and records, had been thoroughly destroyed. And at the present time, only few people knew about the past existence of these necromancers. Saint Undead Magic and Slumbering Cmity, Elux. This was a terrifying and domineering name. Long Haochen could almost be sure that this master of this Eternal Rest had yed a decisive role in those days. Even if he wasnt that head of the necromancers with whom the master of the Brilliant Church self-destructed, he was still at least one of the generals. Who had guessed that some heritage of the formidable necromancers still existed in those days. If this message could be brought back to the Temple Alliance, this would possibly bring out a big wave! _Keep calm, I have to keep calm_ Long Haochen warned himself uninterruptedly to calm down from his state of excitement. His memory was exceptional, in particr, such a state of nervousness aroused his spirit, and was enough to double his mental capacity. He had kept firmly in mind the previous message, and carefully pondered over it. From this little message that had been left here, he already learned a lot. First, this tower should have been left from the glorious age ten thousand of years ago, and could be said to be be crystallization of the knowledge of the necromancers of that time. After the necromancers lost the holy war, this Eternal Rest Tower had been buried underground, and had never been discovered up till now, until a tectonic change happened from the earthquake, giving birth to such arge crevice, which caused Long Haochen to find this ce. Even after ten thousand years, not only this tower didnt have any signs of destruction, but the specters outside had visibly been kept here in purpose by this towers master, through some unknown methods. As the Scion of Light, Long Haochen naturally wasnt qualified to seed this necromancers inheritance, but at the time this voice rose, the gate behind him had already been shut. Considering the knowledge and the strength of this towers master, breaking the door would obviously not be so easy. Then, if he wanted to leave this ce alive, the first thing Long Haochen had to do was toplete the first floors trial, obtaining the trust of this Slumbering Cmity Elux. Furthermore, it was easy to find out through the message the Slumbering Cmity Elux left, that this powerful necromancer believed that only another necromancer of the sixth step could have made it there, and that was to say that the trial of the first floor of this tower thus had to be designed for a necromancer of the sixth step to be able to pass it. Having passed through this mountain pass, Long Haochen couldnt help but reveal a bitter smile. Without a doubt, the trial of this first floor wouldnt possibly be easy. To him, it was unknown whether he would be able toe back alive from it. Now, he could only strive to do his best, to aim for the possibility of escaping from there. Just in the middle of his pondering about how he should face this unknown danger, the voice of the Slumbering Cmity Elux rang once again, and this time, caused Long Haochen to fall in total despair. Then, let me examine your elemental affinity, to see what kind of necromancer you are. _A test of elemental attribute? Im done for._ Long Haochens brain immediately became nk. Based on his thoughts, necromancer arts should be an extension of the darkness elements path. If not, no matter which attribute it was, this could definitely not be holy light attribute! If his own attribute was revealed, given how powerful this Slumbering Cmity was, how could he possibly be in capacity to face him!? Haoyue, destroy the gate. Long Haochen immediately passed down an order to Haoyue in his thoughts; although this n was really uncertain, he was really afraid of being condemned to death without being given any opportunity to resist. However, as Long Haochen transmitted this order, Haoyues body suddenly shook violently as he tossed the unprepared Long Haochen in the air, before rapidly taking a few steps backwards, maintaining a distance between Long Haochen and himself. _Haoyue is abandoning me? Thats impossible!_ Long Haochen was shocked to an horrified state, and at that time, an ash grey radiance suddenly descended, enveloping his body and preparing to do verifications. The ash grey radiance was filled with a terrifying aura that was impossible to resist, and Long Haochen could only feel his entire body go cold, as an undescriptible aura of death instantly made him feel as though his blood was frozen. As all his liquid spiritual energy light attribute was suppressed and pushed back to the inside of his Saint Spiritual Stove, he felt unable to move even a little finger. For the first time in his life, Long Haochen gave up all hope. At least even at the time he was confronting the three demon gods, he still had the courage to take a stand and fight, but now, he was unable to do anything. _Will I really have to die in such a ce? To be a part of these specters group?_ Affected by the ash-grey radiances illumination, Long Haochen slowly fell back, at a trembling state. But the extreme surprise was that the attack he expected didnt arrive at all, and that white glow, as well as the omen Long Haochen had, just disappeared. Is that for real? Are you really the one who got my message? If thats for real, I am just too blessed. It looks that the old heaven hasnt abandoned mepletely. Dear disciple, I think that I can already call you that. I wont allow you to die before you be my sessor. In fact, you are the most ideal disciple I could dream for, a holy necromancer sharing the same holy light attribute as me. Hahaha, what a perfect sessor! Heavens, its truly the heavenly holy light, hahahah. Chapter 246 - Eternal Melody(I)

Chapter 246: Eternal Melody(I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales What? Long Haochen cried out inplete surprise, his headpletely turning nk in that instant. _Sacred necromancer? Can it be that this Slumbering Cmity Eluxs so called saint undead magic isnt mere necromancy, but that this word saint actually refers to the holy element, standing as the appetion for holy light?_ __ _So it turns out, necromancer could actually also be of light attribute. But how can that be? Shouldnt necromancer be making use of corpses and death, walking through an evil path of darkness?_ It could be said that Eluxsst sentence shook Long Haochen extremely hard. It forced him to re-evaluate many things. An ash-gray radiance appeared again, but this time, it just had the shape of a little ball, quietly appearing in front of Long Haochen, and floating in the air. It was a ne, with white gems on it, the size of soybeans. On it, faint fluorescent light spread, and its soft holy aura gave off a very deep warmth. The deathly aura originally contained in the air, seemed to turn into holy light immediately as it appeared. A rich and thick holy essence immediately passed through Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove, replenishing his previous consumption of spiritual energy. On the ne was a little pendant, roughly the size of a little thumb, and white in color. It had the appearance of a little skull, and on the position of the two eyes hovered golden mes filled with thick light essence and spreading around. My dear disciple, this is my message. Its fortunate that you arent one of these filthy darkness attribute necromancers, otherwise, I could only have given up on you. This ne followed me over 896 years, until thest instant I entered the deep slumber. Oh, you have to keep in mind, that you cannot let it be seen by those people from the Radiant Church, because it is made from the skull of first Supreme Pontiff of the Radiant Churchs. Hehe, I feel extremely excited imagining the face those bastards would show if they knew that I dug out their first Supreme Pontiffs buried corpse to make it. This pendants name is Eternal Melody, and it is my heritage, as well as the key to this Manor of Eternal Rest. If in the future, you are to find undoubtedly trustworthypanions, you can lead them to be trained there. Of course, this is on the premise that they arent users of the filthy darkness attribute I loathe the most. If you bring wicked existence to this ce, this Manor of Eternal Rest will be sure to give them their eternal rest. From now onwards, you are my sessor, and the new master of the Manor of Eternal Rest. Long Haochen basically didnt have the ability to refuse. From the direction of this speaking voice, a extremely warm light essence approached and was instantly poured in his body as that Pendant of Eternal Melody appeared on his neck, and the transparent skull went in front of his chest. Immediately, Long Haochen felt as if his entire body became warm, just as if soaked in warm water, and his entire body took on a lustrous golden color, just as if it reached the ultimate level of holy light. The dense light essence filled every corner of his body with that wet sensation. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, the Saint Spiritual Stove and also the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove Yating let out moans of happiness from the insides of his chest. His quantity of liquid internal spiritual energy visibly rose at lightning speed, only slowing down after raising of at least five hundred units. And that skull shaped pendant filled with sacred aura was tightly absorbed in Long Haochens chest. Step forward, child. From now onwards, everything shall depend on yourself. Even without passing any test, you may also leave that ce. I am looking forward to the day you will be able to stand in front of me. After thisst sentence, the voice of the Slumbering Cmity Elux thoroughly dissipated, and the surrounding were as before filled with an ash grey deathly aura. But after wearing the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen was just like the sun in that ce; from his body permanently released a golden radiance, and what was even more fantastic was that this holy light seemed to harmonize perfectly with the deathly aura in that ce, not conflicting in the slightest. The gate behind Long Haochens back opened quietly, implying that he didnt have the need to pass any test, and would be able to leave that ce at any time. But at this moment, he stood there without moving, because of the great amount of information that just entered his head, bing part of his memories. And this information came precisely from the Eternal Melody. These informations included the control of the Manor of Eternal Rest, the seal contained in this Pendant of Eternal Rest, and even the knowledge and the cultivation method gathered by the Slumbering Cmity Elux. This part of the message was truly massive and important, and no matter how unwilling Long Haochen was to be a Holy Necromancer, these informations still becameplete part of his memory, which he would never be able to forget in his life. Haoyue crawled behind Long Haochens back, calmly looking at him, as his six eyes were filled with gentleness, asionally giving off a deep nce to the hall, seemingly letting out a nostalgic look, though he seemed rather to be at a loss when recalling these memories. Standing there, Long Haochen took half an hour beforeing back to his senses. After this massive amount of information was stored in Long Haochens head, the current Long Haochensplexion was clearly not looking good. Even though the Slumbering Cmity Elux was a necromancer of holy attribute, he was still a necromancer, one of the main cause of the disaster that happened ten thousand years ago. How could Long Haochen be willing to be the sessor of such a person, much less to learn any necromancy magic. Suddenly turning back, Long Haochen looked at Haoyue with burning eyes, Haoyue, you knew in advance what this ce was, am I right? Long Haochen was somewhat angry: if Haoyue told him about this ce in advance, he wouldnt have entered there no matter what. Despite the enormous progress and increase in strength this Manor of Eternal Rest brought him, he was truly unwilling to ept this. After having put this Eternal Melody on, he waspletely unable to take it off. Wuu wuu Haoyue gave off an innocent look, blinking his eyes and transmitting an answer to Long Haochen. Sensing the informationing from him, Long Haochensplexion changed, from the previous state of anger to a surprised state. Prediction Technique? You innate ability? Giving Haoyue a stupefied look, Long Haochen lookedpletely dumbstruck. Haoyue told him that he had an ability called Prediction Technique, which enabled him to predict some future events to some extent. When he entered this cave, a prophecy would havee to him, but he only have an indistinct feeling, just sensing that this ce was only symbol of a perfect opportunity for Long Haochen, devoid of any danger, which is why he told him to enter. Revealing a bitter smile, Long Haochen advanced to the front of Haoyue. Hugging Little Lights huge head, he dered, Sorry, its my bad. I shouldnt have doubted you. Its only that everything that just happened to me was way too shocking. Ive been made the sessor of this necromancer in such an unexinable way, this is just too Little Light, Little me and Little Green snuggled up to him, gently stroking his body. Haoyue, tell me what I should do? How about we leave this ce and treat it as though nothing happened? Anyway, after we leave, this Tower of Eternity will enter in a parallel dimension. Haoyue slowly shook his heads in response. Long Haochen asked with some hesitation, Are you saying that this is an opportunity, that I shouldnt necessarily be a necromancer but can still gain some good experience in that ce? Haoyue nodded in repetition. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, sinking in contemtion. It could be said that he was in a state of extreme struggle: the shock this Tower of Eternity brought him was huge, and it was in particr the case for these necromancy spells that were now sealed in his head. No matter how unwilling he was, he couldnt get rid of these memories. The Eternal Melody on his neck also had in the end some important benefits. Long Haochen had never been an avaricious character. On the opposite, he would always pay back the kind deeds of others tenfold. Even if he was even more unwilling, he couldnt deny that he had indeed gotten important benefits from this Slumbering Cmity called Elux. The fact that he waspletely unable to discard these benefits was the hardest for him to bear. A short momentter, Long Haochen slowly raised his head, and said with a sigh, You may be right. But I cant bring myself to decide, whether I should choose to get some more benefit from this ce or ask for myrades opinions on this. Anyhow, we should now try out this ces trial. It will at least guarantee everyones safety, were they to follow me here. A hazy golden light shone in Long Haochens heart, before falling on Haoyues body, immediately making this best partner of his shine in a golden gloss, as Haoyues scales appeared to turn golden. This was the utility of the Eternal Melody. ording to the memories that were transmitted to Long Haochen, only spreading this pendants aura to someone could define him as one that is not an enemy of the Tower of Eternal Rest. Making a turn, Long Haochen recovered the Holy Spirit Shield in his hand, summoning Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light from his body. The next appearance of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light caused Long Haochen to be astonished in the next instant, because he discovered with a shock that an unexpected change had happened on this most powerful offensive weapon he had. Its main body was just as before, but the radiance spread from its upper part had changed. Gripping Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light immediately made Long Haochen feel wet, filled with a cozy feeling. On the de of the sword, a drizzling gloss, or more urately speaking, a golden fog, seemed to appear. It was faintly discernible, but carried a mixture of a holy and watery aura. This golden fog filled the surrounding air in a scope of a third of a meter, and when Long Haochen poured his spiritual energy into it, this golden fog would instantly condense, taking the shape of a third of a meter long golden radiance standing in front of the sword. Chapter 247 - Eternal Melody (II)

Chapter 247: Eternal Melody (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales It evolved? Long Haochen still remembered what the Knight Temples Hall Master and Chief of the Alliance Yang Haohan told him, that Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights greatest characteristic was its capability to evolve. Could it be that after only a few months time, as the Saint Spiritual Stove had been nurtured, it actually had beenpleting its first evolution? Looking at the fluctuations of light essence released by Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, Long Haochen could be certain that this sword was now at least at the level of a Glorious Tier weapon, or possibly even higher. Rather than the Holy Spirit Sword in his right hand which only let out a faint white gloss, Long Haochen almost automatically chose to use Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. This action signified that he chose to abandon the utility of the Holy Spirit Set. Henceforth Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light be his main weapon, as he decided to stop using the Holy Spirit Set as a whole. He obviously made this choice because Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light had more utility than a whole Holy Spirit Set. Vast amount of knowledge was passed on to Long Haochen through the Pendant of Eternal Melody, but to get practical experience in this Tower of Eternity, he had a single choice: to keep going forward. Not riding on Haoyue, Long Haochen advanced with a pair of swords at hand. Each step of his was slow and steady, as he focused his senses on the possible danger arriving from any direction. First step, second step, third step Just four steps after passing the location where he got this Eternal Melody, Long Haochen suddenly came to a stop and, waving the swords in his hands, he looked forward. Two white glows shot from his back without any warning, and immediately, two massive figures appeared before his eyes out of nowhere. These lights were two gigantic skeletons, surrounded by a white halo and filled at the same time with an aura of death and holy aura. The two human-shaped skeletons were approximately 2.5 meters tall, had pure white bones, and threeyered golden rings around them, which were against all expectations Faith Halos, Imposing Halos and Courage Halos that Long Haochen was very familiar with. As they wielded a bone shield with their left hand and a bone sword with their right hand, their eyes were filled with a golden me, just like the Pendant Eternal Melody, but without its purity. _Bang, bang, bang._ Exploding sounds could be heard as the skeletons stepped forward, and they directly jumped at Long Haochen, instantly breaking out with an important oppressing strength. What they used was actually pretty simr to charging techniques used by humans. Long Haochen used the Nine Long Footsteps Stances, swerving to the left side with a sideways step. It was so that he wouldnt get hit by the two skeletons attacks from different directions. Holding the Holy Spirit Sword in his left hand horizontally, heunched Divine Obstruction. _Bang!_ A strong exploding sound reverberated as Long Haochen was pushed back three steps, even after using Divine Obstruction, barely standing firm. _How powerful!_ Although Long Haochen didnt know what level his own internal spiritual energy had reached, he still sensed that after obtaining the Pendant of Eternal Melody, it passed the threshold of 3,500. That this skeleton managed to push him back in such a situation meant that its internal spiritual energy was at least above 7,000 or 8,000. And this was the first test of the Tower of Eternity! The second skeleton didnt attack Long Haochen, but aimed its attack at Haoyue, looking straight at him. With a white glow, the skeleton forcibly closed the distance, and as it was still at a meter away from Haoyue, it suddenly turned toward Long Haochens direction, precisely because of the Saint Spiritual Stoves effects. And from beginning to end, Haoyue seemed as though he hadnt seen it, his three heads focused on chanting an incantation. This was the level of trust between Long Haochen and Haoyue. _Dong._ Another collision rang, this time from an attackunched by Long Haochen. As the Holy Spirit Sword parried a blow, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light drew power from Bright Vengeances amplification, aiming at the human skeleton that attacked him. The skeleton waved the shield in its left hand, parrying thetters blow along with an intense exploding sound. After evolution, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light waspletely different. Thisst blow came with a scrape of bright light, leaving an inch long trace on it. Charging, Long Haochen suddenly stepped to the side, getting out of the way of the skeletons attack pulled by the Saint Spiritual Stove, and as he turned sideways, a Light Thorn was aimed horizontally. Immediately, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light shone with a golden ze, and a sharp sword intent simultaneously erupted. Only, this was clearly not enough to frighten these two skeletons, that held their shields horizontally, releasing a Holy Filter Shield-like ability to wee the Light Thorn fired by Long Haochen. At this time, Haoyues spell was finallypleted,unching arge wind edge, a light thorn and fireball aiming at a skeletons knees, exactly the one who was the target of Long Haochens Attraction spell. These two skeletons possessing holy attribute were even more troublesome than Long Haochen imagined. The targeted one had even the awareness of having been locked down by Haoyues magic, without a single nce. Suddenly crouching down, it used its shield to parry the attack. With three loud collisions, Long Haochen saw to his shock that the skeletons body let out a bright golden color. That was to say, it relied on Divine Obstruction to parry Long Haochens attack. And the other skeleton went at Long Haochen at fast speed. A spotlessly white bone shone, filled with a sacred radiance. To Long Haochens surprise, it was Holy Sword, which was aimed directly at him. Suppressed to this degree on the spiritual energy side, Long Haochen didnt dare to use Condemning Revolving Sword, because this skeleton would be able to rely on its spiritual energys superiority to forcefully interrupt the skill. _Buzz._ A fog of light was suddenly released from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and Long Haochen did a blocking motion, using Divine Obstruction like before. _BangC_ Facing the Holy Sword of this skeleton, Long Haochen surprisingly managed to block it without being pushed a step back. Furthermore, on that skeletons bones, a little gap had appeared. Without managing to push the bone sword back, he relied on Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, to attack on the side, violently striking the ground. This ground was made of some impressive material, to show no trace of damage, only a little spark, upon taking on such a powerful Holy Sword as this skeletons. A resonant dragon cry burst forth from Long Haochens body. Intertwining Blue Rain as well as the Holy Spirit Sword, he used the offensive Retribution Knight technique of the fifth step, Ascending Dragon Strike. And that dragon cry carried a bizarre buzzing sound. At that moment, it was the skeleton that was at a disadvantage. The bone sword was used, only to be pushed back to the ground. This blow of Long Haochens could be said to be perfectly orchestrated. Hastily, the skeleton could only use its bone shield to block Long Haochens attack, letting out an ear-piercing boom. This time, it was the skeleton that was violently struck by Long Haochen, and at the time it stood up again, half its shield was already destroyed. To Long Haochen, the most important use of this strike was the boost of confidence he gained from it. It was for a single reason that he was able to stop the opponents powerful attack in addition to breaking his shield, which was the Ripples of Light. When hebined Divine Obstruction along with the control of the light elemental waves with Ripples of light, not only was the defensive power strengthened by a lot, but it also had an additional effect of stealing power, which was why this skeletons Holy Sword wasntpleted when it shed against Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Even Long Haochen himself didnt think that thebination between Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light and Ripples of Light would turn out so powerful. Although this skeletons fighting strength was great, its defense fell short inparison. It was just like himself at the time he didnt have any good equipment. The other skeleton didnt get in Long Haochens way, it was busy resisting the attacks of Haoyue, that heunched after his first three sessive spells were blocked. His massive figure leapt forward, and though each spellunched by itself wasnt so strong, the three were in factunched simultaneously. Resisting Ring of Fire of the fire element, Ripples of Light of the light element and Wind Gale of the wind element. These three spells had a single goal, to attack. Even that skeleton that possessed Divine Obstruction, the mortal asset of a knight, could only fall a few steps back under the effects of those three spells used offensively. And this was what gave Long Haochen enough time. A strong sunlight fire burst forth from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and the high frequencies of Ripples of Light gave it an exquisite appearance. Assault, Shining Sunlight Strike. Without a doubt, Shining Sunlight Strike couldntpare to Holy Sword in terms of power, but unlike an ability that needed time to be prepared like Holy Sword, Long Haochen could alreadyplete it instantly with his current cultivation. The intricacies of his abilities were exquisite; in fact,bining Shining Sunlight Strike and Sunlight Fire wasnt in the scope of any Retribution Knights ability, but Long Haochen was the son of the Divine Knight of Adjudication, Long Xingyu. With two massive glints of intense sunlight, Long Haochens two swords disappeared in an instant as the lustrous sunlight fire formed two orbs of sunfire, carrying a zing holy aura that intensified dramatically. At this time, the difference in equipment between the two parties became distinct. Inparison to the interweaved use of sunlight fire and Shining Sunlight Strike, Holy Sword even fell short by twofold _Houu!_ The skeleton didnt wait helplessly for its death, and with a bellow, the golden mes in its eyes suddenly increased sharply, and its body was covered with ayer of golden mes, as the skeleton violently abandoned the shield in its left hand. As the skeleton waved its sword with the two hands, in that instant, the air surrounding it was gathered at fast speed, producing suction in Long Haochens direction. That terrible blow provoked a hissing sound in the air, and the bone sword turned a brilliant golden color. Against all expectations, this strikes power caused even Long Haochen to feel helpless and almost unable to block it. This strike felt to Long Haochen like it could split Heavens and Earth, and the most terrifying aspect wasnt its attack power, but the oppressive force it had, forcing Long Haochen to stake everything to go against it. Chapter 248 - Eternal Melody (III)

Chapter 248: Eternal Melody (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Two bolts of ardent de intertwined, and spiritual energy was released all around. As the swords carrying Shining Sunlight Strike were intertwined, forming a cross-cut, they weed that bone sword. A distant boom followed along, with the appearance of fireworks of bright light, illuminating the surroundings in an area of a hundred meters square meters. Long Haochen shot up, carrying Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in hand and issuing a dragon cry-like buzzing sound as his whole body glinted gold, and the Soul Linking Shackles vitality was brought out. At this time, hispanions on the side of the mountain were more than willing to receive a part of this blows damage. The skeletons blow had truly a terrifying offensive power, and in fact, Long Hachens attack contained the four abilities Ripples of Light, Shining Sunlight Strike, Sunlight Fire and Instant st Cross Cut, consuming a massive amount of spiritual energy, along with the utility of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. And yet, such a terrifying blow had been forcibly broken, and this was under the premise that this skeletons blow was far from being as well prepared as his. Now, Long Haochen could bepletely sure that if not for the fact that it was Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light that faced this skeleton and that its weapon wasnt good, he would probably already be finished! The two des were snapped, but if it was the Holy Spirit Sword that faced it instead, it would probably have been broken to naught. His two hands thumbs having just been fractured, his arms felt limp and painful. _This skeleton is harder to handle than I expected. It looks like not only its spiritual energy that reached the sixth step: its the same for its abilities. Besides not being able to fly, this skeleton is exactly like a Radiant Knight of the sixth step._ However, the skeleton wasnt any better off from the exchange than Long Haochen. Its bone de of mediocre quality was already broken to chips, and Long Haochens Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, left a deep trace on its chest. With the zing sunlight fire that was burning its body, this skeleton could atst be considered to be heavily wounded. _This was just one of the two, but what about the other one?_ Long Haochen barely stood up, transferring the spiritual energy in his body to his eyes, sweeping a nce at Haoyues direction. Then, his previous unhurried look immediately becamepletely dull. With a bang, that skeleton was sent flying by Haoyues tail, sweeping at its waist. Being sent flying, it struck the skeleton that suffered from the sunlight fires burning power, and these two simultaneously turned into charcoal. _How can Haoyues physicalbat ability be so powerful?_ This was the first thought he had when seeing Haoyue use his body tounch an attack. Immediately following, the next thing he saw was a repeated bombardment of spells. Low ranked spells of the light element, fire element, wind element wereunched against these two skeletons like wind and rains, and although it wasnt sufficient to destroy them, its might was enough to suppress them, making them unable to move for the moment. Long Haochen took a deep breath, thinking to himself that by now, Haoyue should at least be a magical beast at the peak of the sixth step, in cultivation level, and these were spells of the third step! Without consideration for the equipment and in terms of strength, he wouldnt necessarily be a match for Haoyue! From his look, his external spiritual energy ought to be formidable, at least surpassing him by miles. At that moment, Long Haochen felt a warmth rapidly spreading throughout his body, leading the ufortable feeling he had from the skeletons blow to disappear. All the bones in his whole body were overflowing with warmth, and the paining from his arms also lessened a lot. Even the wound on his thumb stopped bleeding. It was without a doubt the Pendant of Eternal Melody that gave Long Haochen such a powerful ability of self-recovery. Without any hesitation, Long Haochen grasped Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light that twinkled in his hand as that skeletons body was suddenly illuminated. As a dragon cry could lightly be heard, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light turned into a blue and yellow dual-color, shooting up its brilliance in a conical trajectory. It was Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus. As heunched the attack, Long Haochen carefully surveyed the surroundings as well as the consumption he had from using this skill. To his pleasant surprise, he discovered that with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights evolution, the consumption of spiritual energy from the attack was greatly lowered, and although it still consumed 2,000 units, it wasnt an attack that would make him lose all his fighting strength afterunching it a single time. But instead of being reduced along with the consumption of spiritual energy, the might of the Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus had be even more tyrannical. Originally, this attackbined the two elemental radiances to produce a formidable prative power, but this time it wasnt same. Soaring in the air, the blue radiance disappeared gradually,pletely blending into the golden radiance, aiming at the target at once. That skeletons whole body suddenly turned icy white, surprisingly froze. _Bang!_ That skeleton that was having a hard time trying to extinguish the fire was immediately turned to ashes, and Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus, spread a blue ring around, even dying itspanion and enhancing the bombardment of spellsunched by Haoyue. At longst, they had gotten rid of one. Long Haochen finally loosened his breath, and at that time, an eerie scene happened. A white glow appeared in front of Long Haochen, appearing like a bolt of lightning, and Long Haochen used the Holy Spirit Sword to block it unconsciously, but upon collision, this white glow seemed not to be stopped in the slightest, blending into Long Haochens body in the next instant. Immediately, a cozy warm feeling filled his chest. Long Haochen hastened to survey his own body, finding out to his astonishment that on the side of the Saint Spiritual Stove floated a white liquid, that was particrly pure. It didnt have any elementary attribute, but was extremely concentrated. Long Haochen waspletely sure that a single drop of that white liquid energy was sufficient to match ten drops of liquid spiritual energy. Of the two skeletons, only one was left. There was no suspense for the rest of the battle. Long Haochen exploited the Attraction ability of his Saint Spiritual Stove along with his co-ordination with Haoyue. Not giving the skeleton any opportunity to lock the same powerful attack as before, he exploited the fact that its defensive capabilities were far from being as good as his offensive power,bined with its inferior intelligence, to get rid of it. However, after getting rid of these two skeletons, Long Haochen felt both physically and mentally exhausted, finding out to his astonishment that more than 80% of his spiritual energy was consumed. Even a big part of Haoyues magic power was consumed. The instant he got rid of the second skeleton, another drop of white liquid entered his body, same as the previous time. Long Haochen didnt attempt to advance any further. He knew that in his current condition, he wouldnt have a chance of sess if faced with two more skeletons, if not more. In some sense, defeating these two skeletons was a preview of what was awaiting them ahead, and seeing the white bones on the ground that disappeared gradually, Long Haochen sat cross-legged on the ground, urging the liquid spiritual energy in him to try to assimte those two drops of white liquid. The result raised his spirits, as those two drops of non-elemental liquid didnt show any resistance, only after a short process of assimtion, it became a part of his spiritual energy. And just like he estimated, each drop of the liquid energy that came in had the effect of increasing his own spiritual energy by ten units. Nheless, Long Haochen felt gloomy: because his current amount of spiritual energy was low, these two drops of liquid energy only helped him to recover some of that back and nothing more. It wasnt an increase of his total spiritual energy in the true meaning. Long Haochen immediately realized his mistake. He should have waited for his own spiritual energy to have recovered before absorbing it. Defeating a single skeleton could strengthen him by ten units of spiritual energy! This was a lot faster than cultivation, and although those two skeletons strength was undoubtedly tyrannical, beating them came with obvious benefits. With the aura of death contained in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen only needed half an hour to regain his spiritual energypletely. Standing up once again, Long Haochen didnt keep going forward, thinking that he had to leave that ce. This experience in the Tower of Eternity brought him an enormous shock, and he was also pretty curious about this Slumbering Cmity, Elux. However, he clearly understood that it would only be upon reaching the seventh step that he would really be qualified to attempt to challenge this tower that existed since thousands of years. And this was clearly not something that he could do in a mere day or two. With the restriction left by the necromancy magic, he wouldnt be able to reach the top of this tower before attaining the ninth step. Along with those two skeleton Long Haochens original apprehension towards that tower disappeared already. _I dont want Eluxs inheritance to be passed on to me, but it wont hurt to gain some experience here. Without a doubt, many more mysteries and new items are waiting for me to discover them in this Tower of Eternity!_ As for whether he would share this ce with his teammates, this was something he would think about after getting back. He needed at least to discuss it with Caier. After all, the word necromancer was enough to give an extreme shock to any human. Thinking about it, Long Haochen suddenly came to a realization; that it should be time for him to get back. Five hours already passed since he entered in this cavern, and Haoyue even followed him there. Thinking up to this point, Long Haochen called out to Haoyue, and headed to the outside of the tower, ready to leave. Just at this time, Haoyue suddenly let out a boo hoo, standing in Long Haochens way. Mh? Long Haochen unconvincingly remarked, Whats up with you? Little Light faced Long Haochen, spitting out a golden bead. Long Haochen unconsciously caught it, and in the instant this golden bead fell into his hand, it turned into a golden color, directly making its way into the space between Long Haochens eyebrows. A short fragment of memories appeared in Long Haochens mind. Asura Strike, condensing spiritual energy and chopping Heaven and Earth This was surprisingly the memories of a skill, and one at the sixth step. And it was exactly the one that skeleton used against Long Haochen, this attack that had such a fatal attacking power! Chapter 249 - Fiend Lord of the Seventh Step (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Learning from the golden ball of light was simple. He only had to pour spiritual energy into it to aplish that. Of course, it would require continuous training to understand it thoroughly. The method to utilize it was indicated from the luster that made its way into Long Haochens mind, which was obviously part of the memories the Tower of Eternity bestowed upon him. Without any hesitation, Long Haochen immediately learned the Asura Strike. Currently, he wascking in offensive abilities. This Asura Strikes formidable power was something he saw with his own eyes; if not for the vitality shared with his mates, that blow would have been fatal to him. The golden ball of light gradually disappeared after spiritual energy was poured inside, and the knowledge to use Asura Strike was sealed in Long Haochens mind. He simply tried it out and learned that although it disyed its tyranny, the consumption forunching this Asura Strike was also an astonishing 1,000 units of spiritual energy. It appeared that its consumption wasnt as huge as for a spell like Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus, but one shouldnt forget that Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus was the additional ability brought by a weapon, and as such, it drew its strength from the weapons stimtion of the spiritual energy, and furthermore, it was not only its power but also its range that was great. As for the skill Asura Strike, its offensive range was limited to the reach of the spiritual energy and no more. Of course, Asura Strike also had its good points, being able to disregard any evading ability used by the enemies within a range of five meters. This simple point was sufficient to make up for the defect of its huge consumption of spiritual energy. After all was said and done, this skill wasnt simple to use, but in the offensive category, it should be one of the very best of the sixth step, a skill worthy to be used by warriors and knights. If the amplification brought by Ripples of Light was added, just what level could this attacks formidable power reach? Whenparing his benefits, he figured that Asura Strike could admittedly increase his strength, but the most important reward was the information he got from the Tower of Eternity. Spiritual energy was as important as abilities, but from the looks of it, the abilities that could be learned here werent limited to Holy Necromancer magic. And this information was undoubtedly more valuable than any treasure. If he could stay here to train, his strength would increase several folds faster than anywhere else. Putting force in taking a deep breath, Long Haochen did his best to calm his impulses. It looked that he would need to think of a way to tell hisrades to apany him here. If it was instead someone else, his first thought would perhaps have been to monopolize this ce, but Long Haochen didnt think so. Althoughing alone would enable him to keep the secret and let himself ameliorate his strength faster, considering how powerful the demon force was, how could he face the seventy-two demon gods by only relying on himself? That would undoubtedly be nothing more than a foolish dream. The Scion of Light was not only good and honest but had many more basic qualities. From beginning to end, Long Haochen didnt think ofing here alone. Haoyue, lets leave. Long Haochen said in a low voice, jumping on Haoyues back. Haoyues three heads let out simultaneous low-pitched roars, heading out of the Tower of Eternity through its gate. And at the instant they left the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen felt as if the Pendant of Eternal Melody on his chest had be a piece of burning coals, as he couldnt help but groan from the violent burning feeling he had from it. Immediately, an ear-piercing hissing sound burst forth from it. A strong golden radiance burst forth from Long Haochens body, enveloping Haoyue and himself inside. The hissing sound could still be heard, but didnt cause them to suffer any injuries. Turning his head to the opposite side, he saw that countless specters were swarming out from the direction of the Tower of Eternity at least tenfold faster than before. And the ash-grey color the Tower of Eternity released seemed as if it came from intense mes. In a few blinks of an eye, those specters were alreadypletely attached to the Tower of Eternity. The next instant, Long Haochen saw a scene that he would hardly forget throughout his whole lifetime. Just at the peak of the conical cave, an immense ck hole slowly unfolded, violently shaking the whole cave as if sinking it as a whole. Immediately, the Tower of Eternity unexpectedly became illusory from the twists of the brilliant rays of light, producing a sound before disappearingpletely from the cave. The ck hole then closed, and from its original wide shape, it suddenly disappeared from the cave. Then, the hissing sounds came to an end spontaneously. The burning feeling disappearing from his chest, Long Haochen came to feel an indescribable feeling of connection from it. It seem that with no more but a single thought, he could connect with this bridge. Haoyue bore Long Haochens weight, and Little Green casted a Floating Technique on him, lightening him and climbing the walls under Long Haochens guidance. Although the time of descent had been dangerous, this was because Haochen was going down into an unknown ce. But with Haoyues exceedingly resilient limbs, he managed to climb the walls effortlessly. Suddenly, Long Haochen was filled with astonishment when he raised his hand to feel the Recording Gem in his waist. His expression suddenly looked unsightly, for the simple reason that with the shock he had from discovering the Tower of Eternitys discovery, he had totally forgotten to shut it down. If everything inside of the Tower of Eternity was recorded, what would he say to the members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad? And how would he report back for this mission? It wasnt that he was afraid of having the secret of the Tower of Eternity revealed to the Temple Alliance, but the crucial point was that the Pendant of Eternal Melody, key to this tower, had already be aplete part of his body. This would undoubtedly put him in enormous trouble. Praying for a fluke, Long Haochen poured spiritual energy into the Recording Gem, examining the contents recorded inside. A radiance shot up from the Recording Gem, turning into an image whose diameter was one meter appearing in front of Long Haochen. The record starting from his entrance into the cavern started to unfold, and controlling his spiritual energy, Long Haochen controlled the speed of visualisation of the records. Because it was hung onto Long Haochens waist, the Recording Gem naturally couldnt possibly record the process of Long Haochensprehension of the Ripples of Lights, only recording the process of Long Haochen resisting the hissing sound at every urrence. Under Long Haochens control, the gem finally reached the moment Long Haochen had arrived at the caverns underground. All that was recorded was the moment those two specters threw themselves at him. After this point, the scene suddenly became vague, and everything stopped at that. _Nothing more?_ As he stared at the Recording Gem and poured one more time his spiritual energy inside to give it a look, the results were exactly the same. The image finally stopped at the scene that showed Long Haochen being assaulted by the specters. The Tower of Eternity was unexpectedly screened out of the Recording Gems recording ability. Just as Long Haochen was continuously surveying the contents of the gem, at the entrance of the Deste Hissing Cavern, the scene wasnt as calm was one would expect Theres someone. Taking responsibility for keeping watch, Han Daosi suddenly arrived at the caverns entrance. This was a cavern that they had personally sealed, and because of the shape of the mountains formation, it could only amodate everyone in a sitting position. Of course, after Haoyue left, the space inside of the cavern increased by arge amount. At this moment, the outside was as before, pitch-ck, and dawn was about to arrive. Its Fiend Demons. I didnt dare approach, there are roughly thirty. They are led by a Fiend that is even more powerful than the Fiend Commander we disposed of. They just came out from this side of the mountain, and it seems that they discovered our presence. Han Daosi had a particr ability, which enabled him to increase his vision at night time, which was how he saw all the movement from the counterparts side of the mountain. Prepare for battle. Luc Xi, I am not intomanding group battles, so I leave the battle for you tomand. No matter what, our top priority is to hold out until Haochen gets back. Caier dered in a low-voice. None of them expected those fiends toe out so soon, but no matter how the fiends got the information of their presence, they had to meet the enemy head on, at least until the time of Long Haochens return. A type of Fiend even more powerful than a Fiend Commander obviously wouldnt be easy to handle. Caiers exquisite eyes shone brilliantly in the dark night, sparkling strongly as it filled with determination. Seeing that Long Haochen wasnting back after so long, she appeared like she stayed cool-headed and calm, but inside she was more anxious than anyone else. It was fortuitous that they had the Soul Linking Shackles which enabled her to be sure that Long Haochen wasnt exposed to any mortal danger, otherwise she would have gone to find him long ago. Luc Xi knew that now wasnt the time to be modest, and nodded in response, Without Long Haochens presence, we are short of a core Guardian Knight. At the time of the battle, we will have to resolutely defend our position in the cave. Lets attract them for now! Mage vocations will stay inside of the cave while close quarters vocations will defend its entrance. Caier, Han Daosi and you will harass the enemy outside. Li Xin, you stay outside too, backing us up with the help of your Rose Unicorns ability of flight. Luc Xi wasntcking in ability as amander, perhaps he could notpare with Long Haochens ability of foresight and analysis of the general situation, but he could still be considered as talented enough tomand a group in times of battle. Han Yu, Dian Yan, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian came out of the cavern, Han Yu knew of his responsibilities before being told by anyone, and rapidly put on his attire, and Caier and Han Daosi gradually vanished into the darkness. Li Xin was a Retribution Knight, and defending ones position wasnt her forte, but she acted in ordance to Luc Xis instruction, putting in disy the Rose Unicorns excellence. However, so as to avoid exposing herself, she chose to climb atop of the cave, making preparations to summon her Rose Unicorn at anytime. After all, the Fiends didnt know how many enemies were in the cave. Han Daosi kept hold of a pitch-ck dagger in each of his hands, making an exquisite choice of location to conceal himself, just behind a rock at the upper side of the Deste Hissing Cavern. But just at this time, he discovered that Caier disappeared. Immediately, he thought to himself, What a difference in strength! He had never thought of Caier like a goal; since the formerly blind Caier was already so strong, that was to say nothing of the current her who regained her vision. Even though he was part of the Assassin Temple just like her, he only knew vaguely that it was because of her past training method which was particrly special that Caier had be blind. Blending into the darkness, Caier didnt stop in the vicinity of the cavern but stealthily walked in the direction of the mountain. In times of battle, an assassins uses would be limited, as in the end, Assassin werent the most expert in attacking head-on, but the current situation was exactly the most fitting for her. Going by herself, she didnt have to worry about her teammates safety, and was able to disy her fighting strength to its fullest. Chapter 250 - Fiend Lord of the Seventh Step (II)

Chapter 250: Fiend Lord of the Seventh Step (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Fiends wereing fast, and right after setting out, Caier immediately saw them arrive at the bottom of the first mountain, preparing to cross it. Just like the Fiends group that they had previously gotten rid of, this group was a Grand Fiend Cavalry. Each Grand Fiend rode a Nightmare Devil Horse, bursting forth with a deep red radiance. If not for this eye-grabbing aspect they had, Han Daosi wouldnt possibly have seen them from such a distance. Counting thirty-three of them, Caier silently approached from the side as she validated the exact count of the enemies. It was just as Han Daosi had said: one of the Grand Fiends was particrly powerful. He was even more robust than thest Fiend Commander, and more importantly, had an inclined bat-wing on his back. The Nightmare Devil Horse he rode was letting out treads of fire as it stamped on the ground, asionally emmiting red glints, just like charcoal red from the heat. This was at least a magical beast of the sixth step, and since it was this Fiend Commanders mount, themander would probably be at the seventh step. Caier and Long Haochen once killed a Bloodthirsty Beta at the early stages of the seventh step, but this time, they werent as lucky. Furthermore, they had needed to use thebination of the bursting powers of Long Haochens Light Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus and her Spiritual Stove of Samsara. In terms of real strength, although Long Haochen and herself were truly well-endowed, they would only at most be able to match a demon at the middle stage of the sixth step with the two of them. This Fiend of the seventh step was already no longer only a Fiend Leader, but a Fiend Lord. With a single word of difference came a heaven-shaking difference of strength. This Fiend Lord held in its hand a gigantic deep red sword. Dark red glints illuminated his pair of eyes, and Caier had already no doubt of his strength. The most important basic quality for an assassin was to stay cool-headed. No matter what, an assassin always ought to act with utter prudence. It was with a simple goal that Caier set for herself; to slow down the enemy while doing her utmost to assassinate him if any opportunity arose. Hiding discreetly, Caier was just like a single entity that merged with the mountain, emitting no sign of human presence, to the extent that even an assassin with a much greater cultivation than her own wouldnt necessarily be able to achieve that result. The Fiend Lord led his group from the front, so Caier didnt have any intention of acting blindly without thinking, calmly waiting for the Fiend Cavalry to pass before her, and until thest troop of this Fiend Cavalry would draw close to her, which was the timing she exquisitely waited for. Nightmare Devil Horses perception wasnt half-assed, but at this very moment, they hadnt the slightest idea that they could have Caier at their back. The so-called Slinking Technique wasnt based on Invisibility, but on exploiting every element of the environment that could possibly be used for one to conceal his own existence. At this very moment, Caier was hidden in the shadow of thest troop member of the Fiend Cavalry. Despite the dusky environment, the sky was still lit by the moon and the stars, so Caier didnt make her move impatiently, but prefered to calmly follow this Fiend Cavalry that was prepared to climb the mountain. The Fiend Lord, who was the first of those mounted soldiers ranks, arrived at an elevated peak above the Deste Hissing Cavern, sessively followed by the rest of the Fiend Cavalry. They seemedpletely the same as a human cavalry, from their orderly arrangement to their soundless advance. Just when thest of those Grand Fiends riding Nightmare Devil Horse started to climb the mountain, Caier made her move, hidden in the shadows. Abruptly speeding up without any warning, she wasnt discovered by any of the opponents, not even the Nightmare Devil Horse she passed. At this moment, the current her was just like a specter, whose spiritual energy burst forth in a split second, shing out like a golden dagger. With Caiers current cultivation level, how could she be unsessful inunching a sneak attack against a Grand Fiend? Her dagger entered the back of that Grand Fiends head, before a second dagger cut its neck in the next instant, along with an important nerve in its brain. Caiers assassination was truly aplished perfectly, to the extent that this Grand Fiend didnt even let out a single scream, only a stuffy sound before falling down. Caier didnt stop at that, but down below, as that Grand Fiend fell down and his Nightmare Devil Horse started to react below, she smacked his body, sending it flying forward like an artillery shell. At this very moment, the golden dagger in her right hand pierced the Nightmare Devil Horses back. This stab was truly urate, aiming right in the chink between the Nightmare Devil Horses vertebrae. Infusing her tyrannically spiritual energy into it, she caused the Nightmare Devil Horse to let out a mournful howl before falling down on the ground,pletely paralyzed. Caier didnt give any opportunity for this Nightmare Devil Horse that already lost all fighting capability to strike back, and using on that Grand Fiend corpse that was flying as a screen, she instantly withdrew into the darkness. Retreating after a single blow, not insisting on zealously continuing fighting; this was what an outstanding assassin had to do in this situation. Having suddenly being attacked in such a way, the Grand Fiend Cavalry was immediately caught in a state of disturbance. The Fiend Lord was the first to suddenly turn back, and with a roar, shouting a word in fiendnguage. Immediately, a dark red radiance spread out from his entire body, enveloping all the Grand Fiend of the cavalry inside. Every single Nightmare Devil Horse had under its foot a dark red halo extending to over two meters in diameter. This Fiend was truly deserving the rank of lord, as this was simply a shocking amplification skill with an area of effect. Meanwhile, the Fiend Commanders blood-red-colored eyes shone like red bullets, instantly sweeping to the direction from where Caier had just disappeared, and the huge red sword in his hand brightly shone with a gaudy radiance. The red glint in Fiend Lords eyes was obviously a probing ability, but unfortunately, he didnt find the target he aimed to discover. It was as if Caier hadpletely disappeared in the darkness. A heinous look shed through the Fiend Lords eyes, and with a shout from him, the Fiend Cavalry resumed its way, the only difference being that this time, the Fiend Lord didnt stay at the top of the formation, but remained rather in the middle of it. With the Grand Fiends surrounding and protecting him, their speed had clearly slowed down by a lot. He asionally swept his pair of terrible eyes at the surroundings, looking for any possible trails he could find. Of course, Caier didnt leave from there yet, still remaining hidden in the darkness. It was only that this Fiend Commander was unable to discover her and no more. The death of a Fiend Soldier wouldnt be enough to cause their ranks to enter in a fric state, but instead reinforced their defense. Caier discovered from this that except from the Fiend Lord that was situated right in the middle of the formation, these Grand Fiends alsoprised two Fiend Commanders of the sixth step. At that moment, one was at the front and one at the back, acting like the head and the tail of the formation and making it a lot harder for Caier tounch another surprise attack. The Fiend Commander was totally furious and didnt even give the order to collect this Grand Fiends corpse or pay attention to the Nightmare Devil Horse that was heavily wounded. Behind this fierce and furious appearance was a loathing look, uninterruptedly increasing focusing his senses to find traces of Caier. At this very moment, a light cry was let out from the Grand Fiend Cavalrys first lines. The Fiend Lord and the Fiend Commander at the front had a rapid reaction, almost galloping at the same time. As expected as amander of the seventh step, when suddenly erupting, he appeared like a blood-colored ball of blood, shooting up from the Nightmare Devil Horses back and raising his heavy sword. As his voice erupted like a bolt of lightning, his blood-colored gigantic sword was waved in midair, breaking out with a gaudy blood-colored light, carrying a fishy smell. This blow simply covered an area of a tenfold meters, and was enough to break the mountains rock without a noise. Bloody light enveloped the surrounding, dissolving the rocks of the mountain, just likevaing out from hell. Unfortunately, no matter how strong this Fiend Lord was, his attack needed to hit to be effective. And at the same time his blow carried a great power, a screaming sound was resounding from his back. The Fiend Lord suddenly turned around, looking right at the shadow that gradually vanished in the dim night. The attacks of those Fiend Commanders of the sixth stepnded in the air, and the head of another Grand Fiend rolled from his Nightmare Horses back, his eyes appearing lifeless. HouuC C!!!!! This time, the Fiend Lord was really totally furious. Letting out an ear-piercing roar in wrath, he immediately chanted a group of continuous incantations, causing a scarlet blood-colored light to burst out from him, turning into a thick blood-colored mantle enveloping the entire Grand Fiend Cavalry with it. This time, if Caier wanted tounch another sneak attack, she would have to go through his defense first. Caier secretly sighed in silence. He truly deserved to be called a powerhouse of the seventh step, to be capable of making such a proper decision in the shortest time. If the Fiend Lord hadnt used this area-targeted defensive spell, she would still have many ways to raid this group sneakily. After the release of this area-effective defensive spell, the Fiend Lord led the Grand Fiend Cavalry to speed up in climbing the mountain. The Nightmare Devil Horses rushed with their full power, immediately arriving at the rear of the Deste Hissing Cavern. Caier wasnt anxious from being unable tounch more sneak attacks, and kept following their group calmly. It was clearly not the time to go all out yet. The Nightmare Devil Horses were truly fast, and the topography could not even be considered precipitous. From the looks of it, they were drawing closer and closer to the location of the Deste Hissing Cavern. Up ahead, arge area of thistles and thorns suddenly appeared. It had at least a meter height, and was exceedingly tough. The Grand Fiends at the front had no choice but to make use of their spears to open up a path for themselves, causing their speed to drop importantly. The Fiend Lord seated in the middle of their formation had a red glint in his eyes, shouting a few words before the Fiend Commander of the sixth step immediately acted in ordance to it, lifting his long spear high up, and unleashing a dark red me, immediately burning this group of thistles and thorns at once. At the same time this thorny environment was burned, undtions of energy appeared from the middle of the Grand Fiend Cavalrys formation, and an enormous silvery white radiance erupted from it. The space was subject to a formidablecerating power, causing the few Nightmare Devil Horses to whinny and jump up, their bodies flickering with red glints. But because of the defensive area-targeted spell released by the Fiend Lord, it didntcerate them to pieces. The Fiend Lord strode over the Nightmare Devil Horses with a snort, stepped over the ground as a dark red radiance filled with darkness and mes, rapidly suppressed the silvery light spreading in that space. Still, this silvery light hadnt beenpletely inefficient. At least, it got rid the defensive area spell prepared earlier by the Fiend Lord. Chapter 251 - Fiend Lord of the Seventh Step (III)

Chapter 251: Fiend Lord of the Seventh Step (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Hiding in the cavern, Yi Jun had a pale face. This spatial spell he justunched came with a quite important consumption, and he didnt think that it would get so easily blocked by the Fiend Lord, to the extent that it hadnt caused any damage in FIends ranks. Just at this time, the two Demon Hunt Squads offense wasunched at full swing. Ten bright red sharp thorns immediately brought ear piercing sound just at the time the defensive spell dissipated. Back then, Yang Wenzhao had a headache from confronting these thorns attack, but this time, Bai Xiaomo managed to actually release a dozen more of them. That was to say how her strength increased along with the continuous experience she had gotten. The Fiend Commander in the front was already going all out to block it, but only three sharp thorns were aiming at him and no more. These sharp thornsunched by Bai Xiaomo worked in an extremely tricky way, shooting from every direction. The Grand Fiends would obviously show some resistance, but it wasnt so easy for them to block these attacksunched by Bai Xiaomo. At least five Grand Fiends ended up wounded to different degrees, and a bloody fog spread out. And this was just the beginning, before a great amount of green beads descended from the sky. These beads seemed to envelop the entirety of the Grand Fiend Cavalry in their range. Just as the Fiend Lord had figured out what those beads were, a terrible killing intent locked on him, appearing the same as the descent of a god of death. Even a powerhouse of the seventh step like this Fiend Lord trembled with his whole body from the lock, and the ability that he had just finished preparing was interrupted. With his cultivation, he could easily sense what is dangerous and what is not, and those beads in the air didnt look to be of any danger to him, whereas this approaching killing intent seemed to be an existence that could threaten his life! The Fiend Commander in the backrow also wanted to release a defensive area ability to stop these green beads falling from the sky, but unfortunately, just at the instant that it was released, an ice-cold chill quietly reached his neck. A Fiend Commander of the sixth step would obviously be fast to react. As he waved the spear in his hand horizontally, his Nightmare Devil Horse simultaneously let out a dark red radiance from its mouth. A shadow shed, stopping in the middle of its attack, without really entering direct contact with the Fiends body. But even so, the huge beads in the sky already spread within the ranks of this Grand Fiend Cavalry. The beans ruptured, letting out a viscous liquid that immediately infected the Grand Fiends and their Nightmare Devil Horses. This sticky feeling was hard to bear, but these Grand Fiends and their Nightmare Devil Horses had darkness and fire dual attributes, and possessed the so called Hell me ability, which naturally suppressed Bai Xiaomos botanical summons. Releasing mes around, they set this viscous liquid on mes. The one that pinned down the Fiend Lord was of course Caier, as the other Fiend Commander of the sixth step was pinned down by the threat of the assassin Han Daosi. Although Han Daosi was far from being able topare with Caiers strength, how could an assassin that managed to enter the top sixty of the ranking be an ordinary person? In a real battle, although he was obviously no match for this Fiend Commander, if it was only about pinning him down for a second or two, he could do it in a short time. As the rear was in a state of confusion, some changes already started to appear on the battle in the front. The Fiend Commander of the sixth step that was hit by three of the thorns immediately locked his gaze on the location of the two Demon Hunt Squads, but without giving him time to head out in their direction, a dark red figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking his path of return. This silhouette was massive, and had two huge wings unfolded at his back, giving off a fierce and malevolent look. It was exactly the Fiend Lord! The difference of social ss in the Fiends world was distinct. Seeing his immediate superior block him, the Fiend Commander that was prepared to attack immediately stared nkly, naturally stopping his move. The Fiend Lord before him didnt say anything special, only lifting up his right w and pointing at his back. Just when the Fiend Commander turned back, at the split second he turned back, a miraculous scene happened at his back. A great change happened on the huge silhouette of the Fiend Commander of seventh step at his back unexpectedly produced a sudden change, turning into a dual-winged Grand Birdy Demon. Let alone the Fiend Cavalry, even the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad and the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad were extremely shocked from looking at this bizarre scene A golden spear filled with lightning firmly hit the Fiend Commanders back, breaking out with a gaudy electric light, causing this Fiend Commander to let out a miserable scream. If it was about a head-on battle, it would be hard to predict who between the Grand Birdy Demon or the Fiend Commander would be winning. A Grand Birdy Demon did hold the aerial advantage, whereas a Fiend Commander had the support of his mount. However, it was another story in case of a sneak attack. The Fiend Leader obviously didnt have the slightest wariness towards the Fiend Lords words, but how could he guess that he would fall into such a fatal trap. Still, his Nightmare Devil Horse was a magical beast of the fifth step. Seeing its rider being attacked, it immediately tried to defend him, attempting to m into the Grand Birdy Demon. The Grand Birdy Demons reaction was fast. pping the wings at its back while infusing power into the lightningnce in his hand, he immediately set in midair as the powerful lightning spiritual energy broke out all-around. Heavily wounded, the Fiend Commanders body produced a scorched smell and the Nightmare Devil Horse he rode let out a miserable shriek, convulsing from the impulse of the lightning. The Grand Birdy Demon was pitiless, putting strength in swinging hisnce, extracting it from the back of the Fiend Commander that was already seriously wounded while taking advantage of the Nightmare Devil Horses paralysed state. The spear was ferociously thrusted in his body, relying on the formidable attack power of its user to end the life of this Nightmare Devil Horse. A thick staff was lifted high in the sky, striking the Fiend Commander on his head, just like a wooden stick meeting with a watermelon. Just then, a colored liquid spread in the air from it; it looked as if this Fiend Commander of the sixth step was dead. The Grand Birdy Demon didnt stay idle, and immediately batted his wings after getting rid of the first Fiend Commander, flying above the Fiend Cavalry like a tiger picking at a flock of sheeps. Originally, this Fiend Cavalry had one Fiend Commander guarding the rear and one guarding the front, in addition to the Fiend Lord seated in the middle of the formation. The formation in the front, which waspletely firm just before, seemed to have just been broken as its core was destroyed. The Grand Fiend Cavalry was notcking in strength, but was ovee by panic. The great majority of their troops just finished to deal with the liquid released from the many beads. However, Bai Xiaomos yellow nts with an appearance close to corals were not only able to spray a single array of thorns. At the same time the Grand Birdy Demon pped his wings, another dozen bolts of lightning were released at the same times as another batch of beads was released. An immense shield was flung at the side, carrying a mournful hissing sound engulfing everything. Three or four of the Grand Fiends were immediately swept away by its force. On the other side, Sima Xian held his staff high in the air, this time releasing the ability Madness. The staff in his hand was waved at great speed,unching Sacred Bullet Arrays unfathomable attacks, immediately followed by Wang Yuanyuan whose Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was waved violently at the enemys ranks, spreading havoc at their side, aiming primarily at those of the Grand Fiends that lost their Nightmare Devil Horses. At the time Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian came out, Dian Yan and Han Yu stayed in the cavern. People inside had all mage vocations, and thus needed their protection. After releasing his first huge spell, Yi Jun kept sting one spatial spell after another, giving the warriors in the front a strong backup. The current situation looked like a piece of cake, but just at this moment, the formidable Fiend Lord of the seventh step made his move. If not for Caier pinning him down, how could this Fiend Cavalry possessing a Fiend Lord as its general be so easy to deal with? However, the Fiend Commander in the front had just been killed and the subordinate soldiers were being cut down like fresh meat, one after another. The Fiend Lord immediately lost his cool from such a situation. He was after all not a human, and wouldnt give too much thought to tactics. As he swept his blood-colored sword, his Nightmare Devil Horse suddenly jumped horizontally, almost instantly appearing before the Grand Birdy Demon that ughtered one of the Fiend Commanders. The Grand Birdy Demon had just disposed of one of the Grand Fiends and his Nightmare Devil Horse, but caught off guard by the attack, he swept the lightning spear in his hand while turning back with a sideways motion. The Fiend Lord hated this Grand Birdy Demon bitterly. With a chop from his blood-colored sword, a five meters long dark red luster came into being, fiercely chopping down at this Grand Birdy Demons spear. The difference of step between the two manifested undoubtedly at that time. With a scream from the Grand Birdy Demon, the lightning spear in his hand instantly snapped, and the massive impact from the strike caused his body to be sent flying in the air. A massive dark red shield made of energy was erected at the back of this Fiend Lord, protecting his back from the countless white glows bursting forth to his direction. Turning back, heunched a blood-colored cut, carrying an imposing dark-red radiance. The dark red colored radiance was hitting from all direction, aiming at Caier who was unleashing her Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove. The attack forced her to meet it head-on. With a sh, Caiers body was smashed to pieces, but this was a mere afterimage, as Caiers physical body was already meters away. Even so, the Fiend Lords tyrannical power still brought her body an intense pressure. With a flicker, it vanished gradually in the darkness. Caier wouldnt easilyunch her Spiritual Stove of Samsara, because it would not only cause some self-damage, but it would also use the integrality of her spiritual energy. It was something she kept for thest blow. After forcing Caier back with his blow, the Fiend Lord didnt pursue and attack. As he looked up at the sky with a massive roar, the remaining dozen of Grand Fiend as well as thest Fiend Commander rapidly gathered by his side. Come back, all of you. Luc Xis voice rang out, and that Grand Birdy Demon turned back in midair at fast speed. A deep scar could be clearly seen on his chest, which was to say that if his reaction had been just a little slower, the previous blow would have been enough to cut him in two parts. This was the strength of the seventh step. Furthermore, this Fiend Lord visibly hadnt just reached the seventh step. At least, he was at the fourth or the fifth rank of the seventh step. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian didnt zealously keep fighting, rapidly retreating to the direction of the cave. Caier and Han Daosi also came back after making a detour. Chapter 252 - Six Paths of Samsara (I)

Chapter 252: Six Paths of Samsara (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Fiend Commander didnt pursue and attack eagerly, instead chanting an incantation using the Fiend tongue. It was at times loud and at times low, but no parts of his incantation missed to give off an evil feeling. The dark red radianceing out from his body also became increasingly stronger. The red halo under the surrounding soldiers of the Grand Fiend Cavalry ordingly increased in intensity, and the Nightmare Devil Horses, that also chanted in a low voice, let out a red glow that seemed to amplify the halos on their riders. It could be said that the results the two Demon Hunt Squads had just obtained were from the fact that it was a sneak attack, from Caier and Han Daosis advantageous control, and from their smart use of the terrain. This was why the attack was so sessful. The same Fiend Cavalry with a differentmander would also disy a different level of strength. It would be an error to think that Grand Fiends were easy to handle based on thest experience they had with a cavalry of fifty Grand Fiends. Thest time they managed to wipe out the entirety of the enemys troops, the greatest contributor was Haoyue with his Essence of Disorder. The powerful mighting from this tri-elemental spell was enough to weaken the Grand Fiend Cavalrys strength at least by half. And that time, their group had Long Haochen as their pir of support. This time, although they were only facing an army of thirty Fiends, itprised an enemy at the seventh step and two enemies at the sixth step, which were by themselves already very difficult to handle for the two Demon Hunt Squads. Thus, the real battle had just started. Just like Luc Xi had previously said, their tactics were to provoke a battle of attrition in which their side would desperately defend their position. _Watshiii!_ The Fiend Lord let out a loud roar, and the Grand Fiend Cavalry immediately moved forward with the Fiend Commander of the sixth step as their core, forming a conical formation that charged directly at the cavern where the two Demon Hunt Squads were staging their defence. Contrary to expectations, the Fiend Lord didnt join in the formation, but stayed at its rear, raising his blood-colored heavy sword as he mounted his Nightmare Devil Horse. He seemed to be supervising the battlefield, but was in reality waiting for the opportunity to attack. From his point of view, the only enemy that could threaten him was Caier. After sustaining injuries, the Grand Birdy Demon directly came back to Chen Yingers side, groaning with two _boo hoo_ sounds and carrying a look filled with grievance. Looking at his injuries, Chen Yinger felt deeply sorry, but now wasnt the time to have Luc Xi heal him, because he currently possessed the darkness and lightning attributes, thus healing him using light element would only produce the opposite effect. Certainly, this heroic Grand Birdy Demon was the Mythic Mirror Image Pig, McDull. He took the shape of the Fiend Lord to confuse the enemy, before eating the magical crystal of a Grand Birdy Demon, managing this aplishment. Though it consumed a magical crystal of a demon at the sixth step, killing this powerful enemy greatly eased the pressure on the two Demon Hunt Squads. After a few groans, the Grand Birdy Demon left the cave at great speed, as the rich lightning-element spiritual energy in his body was gathering, rapidly condensing a golden ball of lightning surrounded by a ck stream of air. Ten minutes hadnt passed yet, and he still had a significant amount of spiritual energy left from the magical crystal, so he could obviously not let it go to waste. The Grand Fiend Cavalrys offense finally started, and under the Fiend Commanders lead, the spears in their hand let out a strong dark-red-colored radiance. Following this charge, the Fiend Lords incantation stopped abruptly and a bloody red-colored glow shot straight at the cave. The most frightening thing was that this dark red radiance fused together with the Fiend Commanders attack, taking the shape of a huge luminous projectile bombarding the caves entrance. Its domineering power caused theplexions on the faces of the Demon Hunters in the cave to changepletely. At this moment, they finally realized how powerful a Fiend Cavalry could really be after taking their battle formation. A cavalrys greatest forte lied in their charging power as a group. Although this was a hilly region, with the Nightmare Devil Horses climbing ability, the Grand Fiend Cavalrys charging speed didnt drop in the slightest. Facing that domineering dark red radiance, Han Yu didnt have the slightest hesitation and resolutely stood in the front, readily keeping the heavy shield in his hand. His Holy Mantle and Holy Filter Shield which were already charged with Storing Power for a long time were immediately released. Two sessive fire elemental shields appeared before him and a silvery white radiance bombarded the dark red projectile, slightly weakening its offensive power. _Bang_ The unreasonable offensive power almost instantly shattered the two Fire Elemental Shields and the Holy Mantle, before violently crashing against his shield that carried the power of Holy Filter Shield. The shield Han Qian gave his grandson wasnt a particrly powerful piece of equipment, just a magical ranked shield and nothing more. With a violent boom, Han Yus body flickered, d in golden light; it was Divine Obstruction. This was an ability he had learned from Han Qians Inheritance Ring, but which he only rarely used because the team already had Long Haochen as its core. Normally, with Divine Obstruction, Han Qian should have been able to easily parry this attack, but in reality, this blow exploded in arge area. Han Yu let out a groan and his shield was violently mmed against his chest, pushing him three steps back before he stood firm again. In the meanwhile, the bodies of everyone in the 21st Demon Hunt Squad were lit by a golden light; it was the release of the vitality sharing effect of the Soul Sharing Shackles, absorbing a part of the damage Han Yu received. Nevertheless, Han Yu spouted out blood, and a golden light spread out from the cave, falling on everyone in the group. Luc Xis crowd effect restorative ability came with a good timing. It was not only Han Yu that sustained damage, but also McDull that had reverted back from a Grand Birdy Demon to his original appearance as a Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig. Luc Xis ability thus benefitted everyone in the group. Han Yu felt a sharp pain in his chest, but what let him sigh silently was the fact that it had always been Long Haochen who stayed in the front. Now that he was the one to take on that role, he finally understood how enormous the pressure was Long Haochen had to bear every time he relied on his Saint Spiritual Stove to attract the most powerful enemy to him. Han Yu was shocked to see that Dian Yan, took the initiative to join his side to guard against this attack. At longst, the Mythic Mirror Image Pigsst attack had a certain effect. With a violent explosion, another two Grand Fiends were directly hit. The lightnings speed was too fast, to the extent that even the Fiend Lord didnt make it in time to rescue them. However, this clearly had no suppressing effect on their side, and a second tyrannical attack was alreadyunched against them. Still charging as the offense was carried out, the Grand Fiend Cavalry was about to arrive in front of the cave. Dian Yans situation couldnt bepared with Han Yus; his cultivation was verycking inparison to Han Yus level. Although he had the support of Lin Xins twoyered Fire Elemental Shields, after receiving this attack, his body couldnt resist and was sent flying. The shield in his hand was even shattered into pieces. Spouting a huge amount of blood, he was seriously wounded from this single attack. The Demon Hunters from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad didnt have the support ofpanions who shared their damage with them. If not for Luc Xis prompt healing, Dian Yan would very possibly have been sent to hell by the attack. And even with the timely healing he wouldnt be able to continue fighting for some time, since along with his shield, his two arms ended up fractured. The Fiend Commander of the sixth step arrived in front of them as a change could be seen in the Grand Fiend Cavalrys battle formation. From their previous conical formation, the formation suddenly changed to a single line. Each of the Grand Fiends held a spear, pointing it forward, with the Fiend Commander standing in the front. Dark red spiritual energy was unexpectedly forming a straight line as it was released from the weapons of every Grand Fiend, entering the Fiend Commanders body. At this point, if one paid attention, he would notice that only ten of these Grand Fiends did so while three others Grand Fiends stood idle in the back, probably prepared to defend their peers, and that the Fiend Commanders body was clearly at its limit. A spiritual energy of the sixth step meant that itprised over 4,000 units, and because of the type of their spiritual energy, only the sorcerer type of Fiends would have the possibility of reaching the peak of their step for. Over this limit, none of them could have any breakthrough. That was to say, this Fiend Commanders spiritual energy could at most amount to 10,000 units, but couldnt exceed this amount. But even so, this was already a catastrophical opponent to the two Demon Hunt Squads. Aside from Long Haochen who had yet to be back, no one in their group had broken through the threshold of 3,000 units yet, so how could they resist the Fiend Commander that benefitted from thebined boost of powering from all of the Grand Fiends? Ill go first, Yuanyuan will follow me, and Sima wille in third. Han Yus shout was the loudest possible, as the aura of his body increased its intensity tremendously. Grabbing his shield, he released intense surges of spiritual energy, an extremely pure holy spiritual energy that shed against the Fiend Commanders attack. In the midst of exploding sounds, everyone was shocked to see that Han Yu was unexpectedly not pushed back in the slightest. Under the effects of Bright Vengeance, he unexpectedly managed to meet force with force against this Fiend Commanders all out attack. The most amazing feat was that Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian didnt assist him but instead took a few steps back to defend the cave. Lin Xin continuously released one Fire Elemental Shield after another to assist Han Yu, while Yi Jun released his spatial spells tounch attacks. Luc Xis healing and various buffs were alsounched without pause, and this was how Han Yu miraculously managed to block the Fiend Commanders attack. Bai Xiaomos botanical summons wouldnt have so much effect at this time, since the Grand Fiend Cavalrys riders released some dark red mes and the Fiend Lord was at the rear, ring like a tiger watching his prey. The wave of the summoning spells she hadunched previously hade to an end, and it wouldnt be possible to prolong them from such a distance. This was clearly not some kind of random miracle, neither was it caused by some sudden breakthrough from Han Yus side. There was only one reason for this sudden increase of power which enabled him to block the Fiend Commanders attack, and this reason lied in the pills that he took. The additioned effects of the Spiritual Bursting Pills and the Bloodthirsty Pills increased his strength to a new level. Although it came with a massive consumption, its effects were incontestable. With his teammates help, he barely managed to block the enemys attack. Han Yu knew clearly that even Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian couldnt possibly have blocked the Fiend Commanders attack even after eating the same pills, because they didnt have such a powerful defensive ability as Divine Obstruction, which was why he had the resolve tost for as long as possible, no matter what.

Chapter 253: Six Paths of Samsara (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Wang Yuanyuan made her own preparations to take over from him at any time, but at some point, Sima Xians voice suddenly rang, Yuanyuan, let me be the second one to go. Wang Yuanyuan started, unconsciously ncing at him. Sima Xians face was filled with resolution, looking right into her face, Im a man. Okay. Wang Yuanyuan didnt nag, only doing a thumbs up in his direction. At this time, the others from the 21st Demon Hunt Squad could only think of Long Haochen. If he was present, perhaps everything would be different. He would definitely have been able to block the attack of this kind of enemy without needing to take any sort of pills. Having lost its core, the teams strength was bound to suffer a great loss. An ice-cold killing intent once again arose,rgely exceeding thest time in intensity. In the darkness, Caier slowly moved away, not concealing her own figure and advancing slowly in the Fiend Lords direction. The others would temporarily be able to hold out against the Fiend Commanders attacks, but the Fiend Lord was truly a deadly threat for them, the real threat. Caier already had no other choice. With every step she took, the grey aura surrounding her body became stronger, and her pure killing intent gradually condensed into the shape of a sharp de. Caier held in her right hand a dark golden dagger inclined towards the ground, as her left hand was pressed against her chest. She walked slowly, but looking at her, the Fiend Lord clearly became panicked, grasping his blood-colored heavy sword with his two hands. Standing motionless on the ground, the dark-red radiance surrounding his body grew more intense. This time, Caier was attacking seriously. If she couldnt sessfully assassinate the enemy, they would get wiped out on this day. She didnt know when Long Haochen woulde back, but right now, she was the temporary captain. She had to make a path for Long Haochen toe back safe and sound, for him to be able toe back without getting attacked by these Fiends. Making use of her strength to keep everyone alive was undoubtedly her duty as Long Haochens girlfriend. Caiers eyes had already turnedpletely grey, and around the sharp de condensed at her back, six different symbols slowly appeared. These symbols werent close to any letter or character, but at the time they appeared, they caused even the Fiend Lord to take a few steps back. The shock was sorge that when Han Daosi made his move to the side, the rest of the Fiend Cavalry didnt have any reaction to his attack, and their malevolent faces were justpletely panic-stricken. My eyes for yours, first part of Six Paths of Samsara, Eye of Samsara. Caier made her move and all the intense killing intent surrounding her immediately disappeared. On her left hand was a pitch-ck dagger shining with a dark purple brilliance. At her back, the first of the six symbols that was shaped like an eye suddenly erged, hiding her figure behind it. At this time, Caier seemed totally different from her usual self. From the eyes of the Fiend Lord, she resembled a death goding for him. A bloody glow was shot and the Fiend Lords whole body and just turned it into a massive blood-colored ball. A multitude of blood-colored beams shot from his body, attempting to stop Caiers attack from all directions. This was because he abruptly found out that along with the killing intent that horrified him, his perception of Caier had also totally disappeared. As the dark purple radiance intertwined, Caier was already thirty meters away, at the Fiend Lords back. A miserable scream was heard from the Fiend Lord as a third of the heavy sword in his hand snapped. More importantly, from his eyes, ck colored blood overflowed; against all expectations, he had turned blind. On his left shoulder, a deep scar could clearly be seen. The Nightmare Devil Horses four limbs were also broken, and it could only be crawling on the ground, letting out mournful shrieks of pain. However, Caiers eyes lost their ability to see at the same moment her opponent was hit. My ears for yours, second part of the Six Paths of Samsara, Ears of Samsara. Caier didnt stop, as ck as ink, her silhouette was surrounded in purple, and a poignant radiance burst forth from the Dagger of Samsara, before her body disappeared in the midst of the darkness, only leaving an odd symbol in the air. Ever since shepleted her assimtion of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara this was the first time Caier went all out using it. As the most powerful spiritual stove humans had ever discovered, it surpassed any other spiritual stove in power. The Fiend Lord obviously wouldnt wait for death helplessly. With a mad roar, his body suddenly became dark-red-colored, and from inside, a loud bang resounded. At this time, he was just like a human knight making use of the Brilliant Body. Holding a huge sword in his hands, he abruptly jumped off the Nightmare Devil Horses back, spiralling in the air as the terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy released from his body took the shape of mes from hell, causing the rocks on the ground to melt. Against all expectations, he immediately tried to dive underground to escape. _Pop_ At the time she appeared in view, Caier was beside the Fiend Lord, whose hurried escape immediately came to an end. His entire right hand disappeared, covered in blood, and his pair of ears spouted out some ck colored blood. Miserably screaming in pain, his massive body fell to the ground. His leftover left hand faced Caiers direction, frantically punching at her. A dark red-colored radiance abruptly passed through his fist, and under that dark red radiance, a hexagonal dark red crystal surprisingly appeared. His magical crystal! In a state of total fear and pain, the Fiend Lord found out that his own magical crystal was the target of the fatal attack Caierunched. Even if his blow managed to sessfully kill Caier, it would be difficult for him to survive from this. My tongue for yours, third path of the Six Paths of Samsara, Tongue of Samsara. The pitch-ck brilliance gradually faded away, and the dark purple radiance extended like a rainbow, forming a single entity with Caier, appearing like the sword of the god of death. Next, she appeared once again at the Fiend Lords back. The magical crystal condensed in the air, and following next, two Ding, ding sounds rang out, and that blow cut the Fiend Lords magical crystal in two, letting no room for him to disy his brutal strength as he fell to the ground. The Fiend Lords massive silhouette stopped moving, and the surrounding mes were burning, just as before. Underneath, the Nightmare Devil Horse seemed to be frozen, left with bloody scars. In the next instant, the head of this Fiend Lord fell next to the Nightmare Devil Horse abdomen. Puff-paff. The split corpse suddenly fell down, but the strangest thing was that there wasnt a single drop of blood falling down. Both the Nightmare Devil Horse and the Fiend Lords flesh hadpletely turned ash grey-colored. A blood red colored glow shone from the Fiend Lords body, and a bloody halo exploded in the air. With the night wind blowing, Caier stayedpletely motionless, just like a peaceful statue standing in the midst of darkness. All the terrifying aura faded away in that instant, but she was still standing there,pletely motionless. However, none of the Grand Fiends had the courage to dareunch an attack against her. While Caier released the full power of her Spiritual Stove of Samsara on this side of the battle, rapid changes happened in the general situation of the battlefield. Han Daosis sneak attack from behind was sessful, and the most important fact was the attack that was to beunched against the Grand Fiend Cavalry. Li Xin had been waiting all this time for an opportunity. She knew clearly that when facing this Fiend Lord, she couldnt carelessly attack, which would only be akin to suicide. In the instant Caier sessfully suppressed that Fiend Lord, Li Xin finally started to move. The Rose Unicorn fused perfectly with her own spiritual energy, and at the same time Han Daosi charged at them, a dazzling red light followed behind. Li Xins blow put Storing Power to use. She was only a single step away from the fifth step, and barely managed to put Holy Sword in use with Storing Powers assistance. With the further amplification she had from the Rose Unicorn, her pair of swords charged. A bright Light Thorn appeared in enemys view. Her Light Thorn waspletely different from Long Haochens: except from the body that was also filled in light essence, it was instead full of imposing fire essence. Her choice of location to attack was extremely clever; it was the middle of the formation that enabled the Fiend Cavalrys spiritual energy to be gathered and fused all together. If she aimed too far behind, she wouldnt even threaten the Fiend Commander, but if she aimed too far in the front, it would get instead blocked by his soldiers own initiative. _Bang._ Two Grand Fiends were sent flying by Li Xins all out attack, and only five Grand Fiends were left to supplement the Fiend Commander with spiritual energy. Afterwards, it was Han Daosis turn to intervene, and his dagger ferociously prated into the cervical vertebra of a Grand Fiend, perfectly severing his central nerve. This operation on their side was enough to lower the pressure put on the defense, but even so, the situation on the caves side was quite desperate. After three entire minutes, Han Yu was unable to resist anymore, and retreated, the shield and sword in his handpletely broken into pieces. The following Sima Xian only resisted for three hits before being out, spouting blood, his staff broken in half. Compared to Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan was still better off. Although she wasnt an expert in defense, she still could meet force with force against this Fiend Commander. Under the joint effects of the Spiritual Bursting Pill and the Bloodthirsty Pill, she managed to hold him off for twice as long as Sima Xian. As long as she resisted these consecutive attacks, the Fiend Commanders backup in spiritual energying from the rear declined, but there werent enough close quarter fighters left in the cave to defend against him. At this crucial time, the silhouette glinting with the thunder of the Grand Birdy Demon appeared once again on the battlefield; the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig had intervened once again. However, even if that Fiend Commanders backup of spiritual energy had lessened, he still exceeded the Grand Birdy Demon in strength. That was to say nothing of the fact that McDull could after all only imitate the Grand Birdy Demon. In the aspect of putting his abilities to use, he could obviously notpare to a true Grand Birdy Demon, in addition to this fact he didnt have the Soul Sharing Shackles to share the damage. Retreating in defeat against that Fiend Commanders powerful attacks, he was already pushed back to the inside of the cave. At this moment, the situation inside of the cave was just too bad. Bai Xiaomo and Yi Jun hadpletely exhausted their spiritual energy, Luc Xis healing would be of no use to the Grand Birdy Demon, and from the Soul Sharing Shackles side-effects, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and Lin Xin suffered important wounds. Han Yu and Sima Xian even lost their own weapon. Chapter 254 - Six Paths of Samsara (III)

Chapter 254: Six Paths of Samsara (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales That Fiend Commanders spiritual energy didnt reach an amount so terrifying as 10,000, but it still reached 7,000 units. In case their front crumbled, both Demon Hunt Squads would be wiped out . The Grand Birdy Demon, originating from the Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pigs Imitation ability, was sent flying with a single blow, fiercely ramming against the wall behind him. The enormous wound caused him to be unable to even maintain his mirror image appearance, and a heavily wounded Mythic Mirror Image Treasure Pig slumped to the ground. Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and Sima Xian agreed by chance to throw themselves at the enemy, but with only a single sweeping motion, the Fiend Commander sent the three of them flying, and deep wounds were left on Sima Xian and Han Yus bodies. Inside of the cave, Lin Xin was the only one to maintain a rtively intact fighting strength. Launching Fire Elemental Shields and Resisting Ring of Fire, the Fire Cloud Crystal Staff held in Lin Xins hand was shaking as he acted as the final vanguard of the team. But he was in the end no more but a mage who couldnt attack! AhC A screech suddenly sounded behind Lin Xins back, and immediately, the noise of a body falling down could be heard. Then, a silvery light appeared with shock under the Fiend Commanders feet, preventing this malevolent figure from any movement. Lin Xin suddenly turned back, only to see Yi Juns body engulfed by a strong silvery white light, eagerly shouting, Quick! Attack him, I cannot hold it for long. mes of Life֮, that was the mes of Life! What Yi Jun did was to ignite his own life, but when his life energy would run out, this spell would also end. The Fiend Commander didnt move in the slightest, fiercely standing close to Lin Xin, but Lin Xin was a mage that couldnt attack! The Soul Sharing Shackles couldnt alleviate the side effects brought by the pills. When the Spiritual Bursting Pill and the Bloodthirsty Pills effects vanished, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and Sima Xian had all lost their fighting capability, remaining totally devoid of spiritual energy. I I cannot use offensive magic! Lin Xin dered with a foolish expression on his face. Luc Xi put all his strength in releasing ast Sacred Bullet against that Fiend Commander, shouting in anger, Bastard, dont tell me you cannot evenunch the simplest Fireball Technique? Inside of the cavern, only Lin Xin had enough spiritual energy left tounch an attack. But at this time, his face was deathly pale, and mes were spouting from the staff in his hand, but he still appeared to be unable tounch a single offensive spell. I cannot hold it. Yi Jun loudly shouted as blood oozed from the seven apertures of his head. AhC Lin Xin frantically yelled, releasing a Resisting Ring of Fire. With a loud bang, that Fiend Demon was sent flying out of the cave, which also terminated Yi Juns magical suppression. You Yi Jun gave Lin Xin an unresigned look, before sinking in a deepa. After the Fiend Commander was sent flying out of the cavern and right as he was prepared to once againunch an attack to massacre everyone inside, a bright light appeared from nowhere, extending to him and producing an ear-piercing hissing sound apanied by a powerful aura. A surge of an incredible offensive power swept over the ce. The air waspressed, and even if that Fiend Commander possessed 6,000 units of spiritual energy, thest thing he saw in his life was a gigantic three-headed figure appearing out of nowhere, whose body waspletely golden. _Bam_ A sword blow struck the enemy directly, whereas the second swords blow cut him in two. The Fiend Commander was cut in half with a single blow, along with the Nightmare Devil Horse underneath. Both halves of his split corpse slowly fell to the ground. From the bacsh of their consumption of spiritual energy, the five Grand Fiends at his back spouted out ck blood at the same time. Houu Haoyues released a bellow from his three heads at the same time, immediately sending the five Grand Fiends flying. On his back, Long Haochens figure flickered, and on his shoulder, the Light Elemental Fairy Yating incessantly released white rings of light, using Spiritual Gathering Halo to replenish Long Haochens spiritual energy at lightning speed. Thats right! At this situation of life and death, Long Haochen was back. At this moment, as he was holding the two separated parts of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his hands, his body released a glorious halo covering the surroundings. With the help of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, even without Haoyue, he had confidence to put up a fight against any powerhouse of the sixth step. Clearly, this attack that hit the Fiend Commander was Asura Strike. Just think of the power an Asura Strike that was released without preparation already possessed. And then, what about an Asura Strike prepared in a state of Storing Power? On Haoyues back, Long Haochen had been focusing on understanding Asura Strike, and quickly found out that his newly learnt Asura Strike couldplement his Storing Power. This way, Asura Strikes offensive power would be even more terrifying. If he was by himself, he wouldnt possibly use Storing Power in the midst of a battle against many enemies; that would be a suicidal move. However, never forget that Long Haochen also could rely on Haoyues assistance. Sitting on Haoyues back, he had a enough time toplete Storing Power, and managed to use this Fiend Commander as the very first offering to his Asura Strike. With close to 3,000 units of spiritual energy stored inside, this Asura Strike was so powerful that even Long Haochen couldnt help but be in shock. Only, at the current time, he couldnt possibly wallow in this feeling. During his return, he noticed with astonishment that the Soul Sharing Shackles caused him to suffer intense pain. As a knight, he naturally could heal his own injuries along with Haoyues, but how couldnt he have guessed that hispanions had met with danger? Hurrying Haoyue on to return at full speed, he started storing power in preparation for Asura Strike even beforeing out of the cave. Long Haochen was convinced that the enemies were bound to have powerhouses among their ranks, so the top priority was to inflict serious damage to the other sides leader. Furthermore, the appearance of the Pendant of Eternal Melody could be said to have brought Long Haochen the ability to use the spiritual cavity of a knight at the sixth step. After fully using any offensive ability, his speed of recovery was thrice as fast as before. Further adding Yatings assistance, he could recover his spiritual energy at a monstrous rate of twenty units per second. Long Haochen waspletely sure that this Pendant of Eternal Melody was at least a piece of equipment at the Legendary Tier, and this was only his most conservative estimate. Putting the Nine Long Steps into use, Long Haochens silhouette went back and forth the enemies ranks. He was currently extremely anxious because he had an ominous restless feeling ever since he exited the cavern, and that feeling of anxiety caused him to feel extremely nervous. Lightning Thrust spread like illusory reflections on water. This wasnt the original Lightning Thrust, but a Lightning Thrust that used the supplement Ripples of Light. Considering Long Haochens current cultivation, how could these mere Grand Fiends resist him? Brilliant World glinted from the back, and Little Lights backup of spiritual energy entered Long Haochens body. Little me and Little Wind also kept chanting one lower ranked spell after another to cover his nks. None of the Grand Fiends managed to block Long Haochens Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. As its radiance spread, _Pop Pop_ sounds unceasingly rung out. To a Retribution Knight, Lightning Thrust was nothing more than a low ranked skill, one that a powerhouse of a higher step would generally only use against an enemy of lower step, or whenbining it along with other abilities. This was because Lightning Thrust scattered strength, enabling one tounch numerous series of attacks without consuming too much spiritual energy. Thus, higher ranked knights would in reality rarely use it. However, this skill waspletely changed in Long Haochens hands. After obtaining Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, Lightning Thrust underwent a huge increase in power. Keeping its dazzling power as a pure light technique, while gaining the piercing power of water. Adding on to the power of Ripples of Light, this attacks strength reached a whole new level. Long Haochenprehended the Ripples of Light just recently, and hadnt really had the time to improve Lightning Thrust until now, but even so, these ordinary Grand Fiends and their mounts couldnt possibly stop him. Cooperating with Han Daosi and Li Xin, the rest of the battle rapidly concluded, and the entirety of the Grand Fiend Cavalry was wiped out. If some had wanted to escape, what could they do against the aerial persecution of the Rose Unicorn? Each and any of them was easily disposed of by Li Xin. Haochen, youre finally back! Li Xin dismounted her Rose Unicorn and returned to the ground, but at the time she arrived before Long Haochen, she discovered with astonishment that Long Haochens body was trembling as he stood there. Following Long Haochens gaze, she discovered that close ahead, Caier was standing still like a sculpture. Even with the intense battle that was urring nearby, she didnt have any reaction. She just motionlessly stood there like a human-sized puppet. Caier Long Haochens voice was shaking, and with a glint, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light autonomously disappeared from his hand. Taking a few steps while using the Assault technique, he arrived in front of Caier in a split second. With a dark golden glint of radiance, Caier attempted to lift her right hand, but remained unsessful, as she directly copsed into Long Haochens embrace. Tightly holding her, Long Haochen instantlyunched a Holy Mantle without hesitation, enveloping Caier and himself in it. However, he quickly discovered that Caiers life wasnt endangered in any way, only her consumption of spiritual energy was massive; it was the case for both her internal and external spiritual energy. After falling in Long Haochens warm embrace, she couldnt even move a finger. How could this happen? How could this happen! Its all because I arrived sote! Long Haochen felt regretful that he didnt get back earlier. With his intelligence, even in a state of total confusion, he could still clearly realize why his teammates had fought this battle of life and death. _This was all because of my mistake of judgment! I believed that no demons woulde here for the time being, which was why I stayed away for so long. Its all my fault!_ Long Haochen was filled with self-reproach, before finally seeing the massacred corpse of the Fiend Lord. _Such an enormous Fiend apanied by a Nightmare Devil Horse?_ Long Haochen gently caressed Caiers head, Idiot, how could you use the Stove of Samsara again? Its all my fault Tightly pulling Caier in his embrace, Long Haochen felt distressed to the point that he couldnt breath. As he held Caier tightly, his eyes became totally red. Chapter 255 - Lin Xin’s secret

Chapter 255: Lin Xins secret

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen put a Great Recovery Pill in his own mouth, and lowered his head after chewing it slightly, pulling the veil covering Caiers face and letting the pills liquid flow into Caiers mouth. Caiers lips truly felt soft, but at this moment, how could Long Haochen have the leisure to realize that? Kissed by Long Haochens lips and feeling his familiar breath, Caiers body trembled slightly. Some reaction! Long Haochen loosened his breath, very carefully using his spiritual energy to let the liquid pill spread into Caiers body. Tightly hugging her, Long Haochen let out glistening teardrops from his eyes, and his body couldnt resist from shivering. Caier, which ones of your senses have you lost this time? Perhaps was this because of the Great Spiritual Recovery Pill, but Caier seemed to feel Long Haochens kind intentions this time, and her finger slightly moved. Quickly, a great change appeared on Long Haochens face. Sense of smell, sense of vision, sense of hearing, and, sense of taste? Out of the six senses, she actually lost four of them? Caier formerly told Long Haochen a simple exnation on the functioning of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. The more of its formidable offensive power she would want to bring out, the greater the price. The fact she lost four senses already meant that she used the Spiritual Stove of Samsara close to its peak power. _If If the enemy was just a little stronger, and if she had activated thest two paths of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, then she could very possibly never have recovered from it._ One month would be needed to recover from the loss of one sense, unless she had a spiritual stove that would prevent her from losing one of her six senses at any time. Havingunched her spiritual stove third activation, she needed two more months to recover her second sense, and these numbers oveyed. For the loss of three senses, four more months would be needed. It meant that just to recover her hearing, her sight and her taste, shed need seven months! And if she kept using the Spiritual Stove of Samsara during this period of time, shed need eight more months just to recover thest sense. If she used the Spiritual Stove of Samsaras fifth activation, which is also thest one, then all of her six senses would forever be lost, leaving her as a zombie in one breath. Of course, if she came to use that move, the killing powering out from it would be just like what the Scion of Samsara relied on to heavily wound the Demon God Emperor of that time. And furthermore, over the next seven months, Caier senses wouldnt being back one after another, but she would have to wait seven months first before recovering it all at once. The formidable destructive power came with the iparably terrifying bacsh of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. In the midst of his sharp pain, Caier seemed to be unaware of how she should try to console him, when suddenly, he lifted up his head to look afar. On the opposite mountain, a hoard of Grand Fiends wereing out from the other side of the mountain, mounted on Nightmare Devil Horses and headed in their direction. From the looks of it, they were a total of roughly thirty riders, though their strength was at the moment unknown. Long Haochen gently put Caier on the side, before slowly standing up, looking at Li Xin and Han Daosi, The two of you, guard the cave. Leave everything else to me. Seeing Long Haochens expression, Li Xin couldnt help but feel nk. Within the two Demon Hunt Squads, she was the one that knew Long Haochen for the longest time, but aside from his kindhearted side, she had never seen any other expression of such intensity. The current Long Haochen had very red eyes, and from his body came a biting cold killing intent, with unstable light essence being released from it. These sharp eyes seemed to be currently filled with blood-thirst and nothing else. The serious wound Caier received from using the Spiritual Stove of Samsara caused Long Haochen topletely explode. He needed to vent his anger, to use the enemys blood to wash this wrath exploding from his heart. Li Xin and Han Daosi didnt say anything, immediately returning to the caves entrance to guard it, and Long Haochen took of the Holy Spirit Armor on his body. At this very moment, Long Haochen had a sudden cool feelinging out from the Pendant of Eternal Melody on his chest, as if calming down the pain and the wrathing out of him. At this very moment, Long Haochen found out with astonishment that it was as if the surroundings were filled with some bizarre energy. This energy seemed to spread into the Eternal Melody, before disappearing noiselessly. _What is it?_ With his senses being sharper than ordinary people, Long Haochen followed the direction of this energy, finding out to his astonishment that this energy originated from the deceased Grand Fiends as well as their mounts. _Soul energy, this is soul energy!_ Long Haochens brain came to this judgment almost immediately. The Pendant of Eternal Melody was replenishing the Tower of Eternal Rest using the soul of the deceased. This knowledge seemed to flow out naturally from Long Haochens brain. When he would enter in the Tower of Eternity again, his future training would need a massive amount of soul energy to be carried out. Although the Tower of Eternal was already filled with massive energy, if he only kept consuming it, it would sooner orter bepletely exhausted. And as the owner of the Pendant of Eternal Melody, which in itself is the entrance to the Tower of Eternity, he was the one to collect this soul energy. As such, every corpse that died recently, regardless of the race to which it belongs, would have its soul taken by the Pendant of Eternal Melody. As the Scion of Light, Long Haochen felt unwell from having to bear this sort of feeling. But he had no other choice, because the Eternal Melody was already such aplete part of him that he was unable to get rid of. Furthermore, this was something he couldnt rashly reveal to others. Only to his father or his teacher could he possibly reveal this secret. After thinking of this solution, Long Haochen couldnt help but furrow his brows. At that time, he wouldnt give it any further thoughts, and rapidly removing the outer part of his armor, Long Haochen tore a part of his martial attire, hooking Caiers back to his own, before putting on his Holy Spirit Armor that could change shape ording to its owner. That was to say, Caier was nowpletely linked with his own body. Long Haochen knew that the current Caier wasnt capable of hearing, so he pulled Caiers arms around his neck, before using a piece of cloth to secure her tightly. Afterwards, he wrote the following words on her palm, Starting from now on, until you recover thoroughly, I will never let you leave my side and will carry you along with me in battle. I wont abandon you neither will I separate from you. Caiers forehead was leaned against Long Haochens neck, as two clear drops of tears slowly fell down. Today was the first time she used the Spiritual Stove of Samsara to such an extent. After unleashing it for the third time, killing the Fiend Lord, it was as if she returned to the terrifying cavern where she was put during the most terrible period of her life. Almost being broken by helplessness and loneliness, further adding the weak state of her body, Caier seemed to be sensing that death hade for her. The only thing that caused her to keep hope was her wish that Long Haochen would make it back alive. He came back, he made it back in the end. In this deste ce, Caier felt helpless. There was no voice, no taste, no sight, no smell, and in the midst of the pain, he came back. When this familiar smell appeared in Caiers perception, she immediately trembled upon realization. The hope she had deep inside became an inferno, about to burst out from her. When Long Haochen kissed her lips, giving her the Great Recovery Spiritual Pill, the feeling she received from the warmth this pill together with Long Haochens familiar breath brought her, pulled her back from her memories of those days she was forced into cultivating the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. And at this very moment, right after she felt those words Long Haochen had written on her palm, those feelings finally disappeared from Caiers heart, reced by an overwhelming feeling of happiness. _Im such a fool. As long as I have him, even if the whole world abandons me, I am still not alone anymore._ There is a single reason that could lead a woman to be willing to selflessly pay any price for a man, and that reason is love. Feeling Caier pressed against his back, her legs surrounding his waist, Long Haochen felt his pain lighten from the soft feeling he had. However, when he lifted up his head, looking at the Fiend Cavalry quickly approaching, this feeling of need to vent his anger appeared once again in his heart. _Its those bastards, its them. Its those demons who caused my Caier to need seven more months before recovering her normal state._ In the midst of a buzzing sound, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light appeared in Long Haochens hand, and with a sh of light, the Holy Spirit Sword appeared in his left hand. His body shed,nding on Haoyues back, and the Light Elemental Fairy Yating stayed loyal to the end, still releasing a Spiritual Gathering Halo to help him recover his spiritual energy. Able to recover twenty units of his spiritual energy per second, Long Haochen had already recovered close to half of his spiritual energy over this little period of time. The enemies were drawing closer and closer, and inside of the cave, Li Xin opened her eyes wide, glowering at Lin Xin. Are you nothing more but crap? Dont tell me you cannot even put a single Fireball Technique to use? Do you know how much of his life force Yi Jun exhausted to confine that Fiend Commander. If not for Haochens prompt arrival, we would all be dead here today. Are you really a mage of the fifth step? You are clearly not fit to be called a Demon Hunter. It wasnt surprising that Li Xin was so furious. She clearly saw the previous situation inside of the cavern, and was on her way to return as fast as possible. But at thest instant, Lin Xin only released a Defying Ring of Fire, thoroughly angering that resolute and upright Retribution Knight. As everyone else was staking everything and going all out, but Lin Xin was the only one that didntunch any attack at all. Considering his level of cultivation, if he hadunched a powerful spell of fire magic at that time, maybe he would have wounded that Fiend Commander seriously. Lin Xins face was somewhat nk, listening to Li Xins indignant speech without saying a word. Why dont you speak back!? Are you a man or not? With such powerful controlling power, and as a mage of the fifth step, why cant you unleash a single offensive spell? Im really regretting that I didnt stop Haochen at that time. Enough, Li Xin. Han Yu stood before him with difficulty, and Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian as well as Chen Yinger gathered at his side. Li Xin, you should know that Lin Xin is an alchemist. Why do you think we managed to hold out for so much longer than Dian Yan, to resist for such a long time? It was because we took the pills Lin Xin offered us. Lin Xin cannot attack, but if not for him, we wouldnt havested long enough for Haochen to get back. Lin Xin is an important part of our 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. His investment is clear to all of us, and he is a part our team cannot part with. Everyone has his own weaknesses, so why shouldnt it be the same for him? Li Xin furiously replied, Yes, everyone has weaknesses, but attacking is a mages duty. As a extremely destructive fire element mage, how can he be unable tounch a single fireball, why is that? I am just hoping for him to give me a clear exnation for that. If one day, Haochen cannot withstand the enemys attacks and finally has to rely on his attacks to dispose of the enemy, what will happen? Why does he have to be so strong if he isnt able to increase your strength to such an extent? I dont wish for my little brother to give up all hope upon seeing him. Alright, I will tell you. Lin Xin yelled back in response. Taking a rapid step forward, he arrived at Han Yus side. His body was trembling violently, and his original pale face became totally flushed. I am a mage that cannot attack, one that cannot do it at all. You are all right, my situation ispletely different from Simas. He is unable to learn healing magic, but its not as if I was unable to learn. As long as I was willing, I could learn to use fire element magic without bounds, but I didnt learn it. I couldnt bring myself to learn it. Coming to a pause, Lin Xin was already soaked in tears. At those time, my mother was an even greater genius of the Mage Temple than me. At the time she was thirty, she already broke through from the sixth step to the seventh step, acimed as the greatest genius of her generation. My father was an expert at using offensive magic, and he spent his whole life studying the most powerful fire spell, but one day, he made a mistake. His mistake caused his own body to burn with in a massive fire, and at that time, my mother happened to bring me to see him. And to protect me, mother used her own body to block that terrifying exploding force, meeting with a violent death along with my father. Although I was only five years-old that year, I will never be able to forget that terrible explosion of fire. If not for offensive magic, how would I have lost my mother? If not for offensive magic, I would still have a blessed family. I cannot learn offensive magic, and will never step across it in my life. I dont wish to see mypanions or rtives die by my own hands, because of my magic. From that day onwards, no mater how my grandfather tried to force me, I never agreed to learn any offensive magic, up until now. But Im not crap, I am using everything I can to help my team. If one day, this situation really arises, then I will definitely be the first of everyone to die, and I will use my corpse to prove everything I just said! Done with his words, Lin Xin was silently crying, and Han Yu let out a sigh, lightly patting his shoulder, telling Li Xin, I canprehend your state of mind, but did you really have to let his scarse out of his heart? If not for some extraordinary reason of this kind, why would he be unable to learn offensive spells? It wasnt because we didnt care about these matters that we have never asked him until now, but because we chose to trust ourpanions. Lin Xin will forever remain a part of our Demon Hunt Squad. 1. reminder: there are six senses in Chinese fantasy, try to get used to it 2. 2^0= 1 month, 2^1 = 2 months, 2^2 = 4 months, 2^3 = 8 months, so I think it should follow this pattern. In other words, let n be the number of senses lost, then, 2^n is the number of months required to recover the nth sense. Chapter 256 - Slaughter!(I)

Chapter 256: ughter!(I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales (I) Long Haochen calmly stood on Haoyues back, gazing at the approaching Grand Fiend Cavalry. His unprecedented urge to vent his anger on the enemies grew increasingly stronger, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain upon feeling the warmthing out from Caiers body. Never before had he felt hatred towards anything, but now, the hatred he felt towards this Grand Fiend Cavalry reached was unbearable. _For my sake! For my sake Caier had to suffer such an intense pain again. Even if I have to sacrifice thest drop of my blood, I wont let them harm Caier anymore. I will kill all these demons!_ The enemies drew closer and closer, and although Long Haochen didnt have any ability to enhance his eyesight, his vision was already at a level where he could distinctly discern the strength of the enemy. It was a Grand Fiend Cavalry of thirty, the same size as the previous one. Leading them was a Fiend Commander of the sixth step, but this group didnt have any powerhouse other than him. Obviously, this Grand Fiend Cavalry of thirty was a reserve team just like the one they ran across, responsible for providing support. Having gotten the Fiend Lords signal, they came at the fastest speed possible. A golden fog emanated from Long Haochen. It spread through the night sky, producing a bright and dazzling light simr to a lighthouse. The Fiend Cavalry obviously saw it; they sensed this bright light filled with holy aura the same as Long Haochen sensed darkness type spiritual energy. Storing Power. Long Haochen could clearly sense the fast speed at which the liquid spiritual energy in him concentrated. The Holy Spirit Sword in his left hand was pushed into the ground next to Haoyue, and in his other hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was changed into dual swords. At this time, he entered an eerie state of mind. Along with his progress in cultivation, his speed of gathering spiritual power using Storing Power was a lot faster than before, and a great amount of powerful spiritual energy was poured into his dual des Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light at high speed. Haoyue also started chanting with his three heads, each one chanting a different incantation in a melodious tempo that didnt impact Long Haochens Storing Power. It rather had an harmonious mutual influence on it. At this time, the cave at his back had returned to its calm, and only Li Xin was standing outside. At times, changes appeared on her countenance. Sometimes it was filled with regret, sometimes with guilt, but she still carried her two swords firmly and steadily. Inside the cave, all the eyes were focused on Long Haochen, looking at his small yet sharp figure disying the force of a man that could match ten thousand. Although Long Haochen was facing the enemy battalion alone, the most unusual thing was that both the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad and 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad felt secure. It was as if, as long as Long Haochen was present, no one would be able to threaten them. Everyone put effort into recovering their own spiritual energy. After recovering a bit, Luc Xi released a healing spell, focusing his healing with priority on the unconscious Dian Yan, whose injuries were most critical. Receiving the blow of a Fiend Commander with close to ten thousand units of spiritual energy, was like being struck by a mountain. Let alone his shield, both of his arms were shattered, and even his breastbone and his ribs were damaged to some extent. His internal organs were unharmed, but if not for Luc Xis prompt healing, he would undoubtedly have seque due to his internal fractures. Haochen, be careful of their ability tobine their spiritual energies. Li Xin shouted in Long Haochens direction. They had already been confronting Grand Fiend Cavalries twice: the first time, while under the effects of Haoyues Essence of Disorder, the Grand Fiend Cavalry didnt have the asion to bring out its full power. And the second time, it had been thanks to Caiers formidable move that the Grand Fiend Cavalrys attack ended with the death of the Fiend Lord, the cornerstone of their cavalry. At that time, if not for the release of Caiers sharp killing intent that terrified the Fiend Lord to the point of preventing him from being the focus point of their gathered spiritual energy union, no one could possibly have been able to block this blow. And now, they were facing a Grand Fiend Cavalry for the very first time without Caier present to attract the enemys attention, and without the possibility of having Haoyue mount a magical sneak attack, Long Haochen was facing this Grand Fiend Cavalry alone, but would he be able to prevail over them on his own? At the Fiend Cavalrys back were a dozen of mounted Grand Fiends making preparation for conjoining their spiritual energy. The other twenty Grand Fiends were separated in two groups, one for each side, and surrounding him from three sides. The powerful oppressive force rose sharply. However one looked at the situation, they would say that Long Haochen cannot possibly resist them all. Just at this time, Haoyue set in motion, his massive figureunching Long Haochen, charging at the direction of the Fiend Commander that was the target for the conjoined spiritual energy. As a powerhouse of the sixth step, the Fiend Commander was fairly experienced and knowledgeable. Seeing the intensity of the light elemental spiritual energy surrounding Long Haochen, he determined that this humans spiritual energy couldntpare to his own, to say nothing of the fact that he was in a state of conjoined spiritual energy. Revealing a malicious smile, the Fiend Commander strode over the Nightmare Devil Horse, standing perfectly straight and charging at Long Haochens direction. On his back were a dozen Grand Fiend Knights, spears at hand, linked through a dark red connection of spiritual energy, appearing like a single entity, and following the Fiend Commander as they charged. In fact, these Grand Fiend from cavalries were the elite of elite of the Fiend n. Put on the battlefield after thorough training, they were an existence of the same degree as the humans Brilliant Angel Knights. Drawing power from their ability of conjoined spiritual energy, they formerly caused a quite important loss to the Temple Knights side. Every time they ran across them in the battlefield, the Temple Alliance would pick some powerhouses to handle them. Long Haochen was just a single individual, only riding Haoyue, on whose back he just stood, but faced that Fiend Commander whose dark red mes rose frantically, illuminating everything on a ten square meters range. Whenparing the two sides power, Long Haochen was like a mere child. However, Haoyues charge was still straight and without hesitation, keeping a strong front. At this time, the incantation from his mouth just stopped, but if one took particr attention, he would notice that at this moment, Haoyues eyes all became purple. The scales on his body were furthermore covered in a thinyer of purple ripples. The two parties drew closer to each other, from a distance of a hundred meters to fifty, thirty, twenty, ten meters. By now, they were already close enough to each other tounch attacks. Just at this time Haoyue released an ear-splitting howl from his three heads. An intense purple color could be seen, bursting out from Haoyues three heads. An earth-shaking scene happened right then. Under the effects of Haoyues loud bellow, the whole body of the Fiend Commander which was entirely covered in a dark red mes, trembled violently, and the massive spiritual energy all around his body suddenly disappeared, and those Grand Fiends of the cavalry in his rear as well as their Nightmare Devil Horse looked as if they had suddenly gotten drunk swaying unsteadily from side to side, without the slightest trace left of using their ability of conjoined spiritual energy. Golden light, suddenly ripping the vast sky,pressed the air with a violent exploding sound. In the next instant, the hissing resonance clearly caused the Nightmare Devil Horse rode by the Fiend Commander to feel dizzy. A surge of bright light suddenly spread in the surrounding air. Kill! Long Haochen shouted and Haoyue violently struck the Fiend Commander from the front, but the strangest was that this Fiend Commander, suddenly covered in golden threads, suddenly became motionless, until Haoyues blow arrived. Next, the spear in his hand as well as his body and his Nightmare Devil Horse were knocked back, undergoing the same treatment as their master, cut in two by Long Haochens hand. If the previous Fiend Commander could justify his death in Long Haochens hand from the fact that he was already weakened in strength plus the assault from Yi Juns magic suppression as well as Lin Xins Resisting Ring of Fire, causing Long Haochens sneak attack to be sessful, this kill was however in no way a fluke, it was an instant kill upon collision, against a Fiend Commander at its peak condition, that didnt get a chance to strike a single blow against Long Haochen No one knew what kind of ability this howl was meant to be, but after Long Haochen crossed those ten Grand Fiends standing behind the Fiend Commander, all that was left was and of corpses, including those belonging to the Nightmare Devil Horses; no corpse was left intact. And it was down to the extent that these Grand Fiends and their mounts didnt have the slightest chance to resist. Some time afterunching this loud bellow, Haoyues entire body was entirely devoid of aura, his eyes recovering their natural color. Not releasing any more magic, he clearly seemed somewhat tired. However, he had sufficient use in the battle. Having cut down the Fiend Rulers conjoined spiritual energy, Long Haochen took control of the flow of the battle. Affected by the effects from Haoyues howl, the Fiend Commander didnt have the chance tounch a single effective ability, cut in two parts in a state of total terror by Asura Strike. The rest of the battle simply went as a one-sided ughter, where Long Haochen only made use of a few abilities: Charge, Assault, Lightning Thrust and Instant st Cross Cut. These were low ranked Retribution Knight abilities that broke out with exploding power in his hands. With the backing of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating on his shoulder, using these low consumption abilities was no burden at all to Long Haochen. After a stored up Asura Strike, he had only a few hundreds units spiritual energy left, but through the means of his massive recovery of spiritual energy, he had no problem handling the rest of the enemies. Dont forget that the current Long Haochen was drawing nearer and nearer to the sixth step of cultivation. Inside of the cave, everyone was dazzled and stunned looking at this scene. A golden silhouette was moving unrestrained as it crushed everything in its path, flickering with bright light, and blowing the enemies to pieces. Furthermore, he still carried on his back Caier who lost four of her senses. A single person, he was just by himself, but against all expectations, he managed to massacre a powerful Grand Fiend Cavalry only with the help of his mount, instantly defeating a Fiend Commander of the sixth step as if it was nothing. This was alreadypletely out of the scope of a knight of the fifth step. Feeling the biting cold killing intent released from Long Haochens body, everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad felt principally excited, in contrast the majority of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad members felt ashamed Chapter 257 - Slaughter! (II)

Chapter 257: ughter! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales After havinge in contact for a rather long time, the members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads felt with great rity the gap separating themselves from the 21st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. The pair of sweethearts and core of the team formed by Long Haochen and Caier had a sea-splitting impact. The other members also had powerful abilities to disy, and moreover, were totally united. This entire massacrested for only ten minutes, and Long Haochen didnt let a single enemy escape. When thest enemy finally went down, in by his Holy Spirit Sword while using Final Gambit. All along, Long Haochen benefitted from the support of the loyal Light Element Fairy Yating, responding perfectly to her duty of helping him recuperate. Not letting go of Caier on his back, Long Haochen dumped a pair of bloody crystals stuck to his heavy swords, heading back to the caves entrance along with Haoyue. Long Haochen didnt have any formidable recovery spell with crowd effect, but it didnt mean that it was the same for Haoyue. From his initiative, an illumination of sacred light flooded every corner of the cavern. Prepare yourselves, everyone. Ill clear the battlefield, so lets depart from here at full speed. Long Haochens voice sounded rough, and after he finished giving out these instructions, he turned back and walked out. While walking, he stored the corpses of every single Grand Fiend and their Nightmare Devil Horses inside Eternal Melody. Thats right, the Pendant of Eternal Melody was also a storage tool. As for howrge the space it epassed, even with his current mental capacity, Long Haochen was unable to tell. Having gone through the past massacre, Long Haochen had a more distinct feeling that every time he ughtered a Grand Fiend, the counterparts soul would immediately be sucked into the Eternal Melody. And the soul energy he gained from the enemies he had just killed was even stronger than energy he received from the corpses of the previous battle. Since he couldnt do anything about it, he could only ignore it right now. In truth, he didnt have any realprehension of the principle of soul energy. Relying on the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen was fast to sweep through the battlefield. When he came back to the hisrades side, except from the still unconscious Dian Yan, everyone had recovered their ability to move. After watching Long Haochen sweep through the battlefield without any difficulty, Lin Xin seemed to have recovered from remembering his painful memories. Having seen him collect all of the Grand Fiends and the Nightmare Devil Horses corpses, he couldnt help but stare with wide eyes. When Haochen returned, he secretly signaled him toe over. With his back turned to the rest of the group, he waited for Haochen. Long Haochen gave him a nce before silently looking down. How is everyone? Long Haochen asked. Han Yu replied, Except from Dian Yan that suffered serious injuries, no one should have problems walking, only, to keep battling will be quite challenging. Yuanyuan, Sima and I took Bloodthirsty and Spiritual Bursting Pills. Im also afraid that Yingers little pig, McDull, is in quite a bad shape, and will not be able to keep absorbing magical crystals to join the battle. Luc Xi replied, Our side is in a better situation, Han Daosi and Li Xin can still keep fighting, but Yi Jun ignited his own vital force, and is thus unconscious and recovering his spiritual energy. I will need at least three more hours tounch my crowd-effective healing spell again. Dian Yan will at least need seven days of treatment before barely recovering some fighting strength. Xiaomo is pretty much the same as me, and will regain some spiritual energy in approximately three more hours. Although this battle ended without any deaths, it could be said to have been a total tragedy for their side. The only ones that still had the strength to keep fighting were the trio of Long Haochen, Li Xin and Han Daosis. Caier, who had lost four of her senses for a full duration of seven months, was even more pitiful than the seriously injured Dian Yan. Long Haochen calmly nodded, dering after some time of reflection, I will have Haoyue carry Dian Yan and Yi Jun, and we will immediately set off. After advancing more deeply into the mountains, without staying close to such a conspicuous spot as the Deste Hissing Cavern, we should be able to easily conceal ourselves. There, well wait for everyone to recover some strength before attempting to head back. Luc Xi silently nodded in response, looking at Long Haochen with some hesitation. Long Haochen knew what he was thinking of, Right before, I recorded my exploration of the Deste Hissing Cavern, and this is clearly not a ce we are able to explore thoroughly. After we find a ce to settle down, I will share the records of the exploration with everyone. The Recording Gems contents couldnt be counterfeited, or at least, no one had this ability among them. An incredible skill in alchemy was needed to make this possible. Hearing Long Haochen say so, Luc Xi immediately felt embarrassed, and calmly nodded at Long Haochen. Long Haochen spoke out, Lets leave from here then. Right now, I recovered the enemies corpses. A third of the magical crystals will be yours to keep. Luc Xi hurried to react, Theres no need, we didnt do much anyway. Long Haochen shook his head, and said in a clearly resolute tone, We are now a single team, and well share the gains in ordance to how we agreed on it. Without you, my teammates wouldnt havested long enough for me to return, so lets do it as I said. Time to set off! The bacsh from Caiers spiritual stove caused Long Haochen to feel extremely fidgety. The gentleness he had during normal times was gone and reced by some aggressiveness. But with the strength and ability he showed there, everything he said felt as a matter of course, at least the members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad were secretly thankful. A third of the spoils from such a huge amount of Nightmare Devil Horses and Grand Fiends was no small figure. Everyone once again set out for their journey, and although they were for the most part in a very weak state, having wounded people among them, their bodies far exceeded ordinary peoples in strength as fighters. As dawn touched upon thend, the party of thirteen didnt make haste to leave the mountain ridge, instead prating even more deeply under Long Haochens lead. After crossing two mountain peaks, they finally stopped in an area full of shrubs. It was a valley with a natural crevice in the midst of it, just the right ce for them to temporarily stay at. When they decided to camp there, it was already the middle of the day. Luc Xi became the most upied member of the team, unceasingly recovering his spiritual energy as he took the duty of healing everyone. What finally rxed Long Haochen a bit was that Caier gradually recovered her ability to move. At this time, he was sitting close to the entrance of the crevice, letting Caier temporarily lean against his body. Caier was seemingly very calm: she was now blind, mute, deaf, and unable to taste, but it appeared as though she didnt care about all of this, only calmly nestling in Long Haochens embrace. While the others were resting, Han Daosi took over the duty of keeping watch, and Haochen pulled Caier by the hand, using his thumb to form some words in Caiers palm. Slowly he wrote the narration of the whole course of the events that happened back in the Deste Hissing Cavern. Caier was unable to listen, but could sense and was actually rather enjoying this kind of feeling. As she let Long Haochen write characters on her palm, she nestled against him, just like the little big McDull was nestling in Chen Yingers embrace Lin Xin,e here for a bit. I have something to tell you. Li Xin suddenly waved to Lin Xin, hinting him to follow her. Lin Xin nked, slightly wrinkling his brows, but still chose to follow Li Xin inside of the crevice. Long Haochen just gave him a puzzled nce, but didnt say anything about it. In his heart, Li Xin was one of the most trusted people he had. Heprehended the character of this big sister of his pretty well, and didnt know what formerly happened inside of the cavern. Instead of keeping track of that, he continued to write some words in her palm. The others were cultivating on the side, and didnt pay attention to them. The crevice was very deep, and they kept walking until they were over two hundred meters deep in the mountain. When gazing deep inside, one would be able to see a marvellous scene. Li Xin kept walking in, until no one remained in her view, before finally stopping in her tracks. Lin Xin stopped close behind with an apathetic face, simply using his fingers tob his own dark green hair, iting a braid after putting it together and leaning on a stone of the wall, What did you call me here for? Trying to kill me in order to silence me? Li Xin unhappily dered, As a man, what are you doing with such long hair. Youre even doing something such as a iting it. In my opinion, you simply seem closer to a girl. Lin Xin curled his lips, replying, Hey, its called being handsome, okay? Dont talk drivel just because you dont understand it. Li Xin disdainfully replied, Handsome? What farts! Speak of it again when you are half as handsome as Long Haochen. A temporary change appeared in Lin Xins expression, and his muscles immediately hardened, Did you just call me to bully me? Sure, Captain has better looks than me, but he looks even more like a girl than me! Li Xin suddenly became silent, looking at Lin Xin without saying any further words. Feeling the strange atmosphere, Lin Xin couldnt help but look at her, puzzled. Sorry. Li Xin slightly lowered her head, It was my bad, I shouldnt have forced you into sharing a part of your past, much less recall those painful events to your mind. Lin Xin slightly trembled, and an unremovable pain filled the depths of his eyes. Lowering his head, he threw the hair he had beenbing all this time to his back. Its okay, someone would have questioned me sooner orter. To be honest, deep inside I feel much better now. Lin Xin said in a pained expression. Li Xin unhurriedly walked to his side, I should get punishment for making such an error. Then, curse me back. Or else, strike me, and Ill feel better. Her expression was very serious. Standing by Lin Xins side, she offered her vigorous yet delicate figure as a sort of self-sacrifice. Lin Xins expression changed, Miss, stop joking, wont you? Would I even be capable of hitting you? I wont hit back. Li Xin hurried to emphasise. Thats it? Im heading back then. Lin Xin unhappily dered, and turned to head in the opposite direction to leave. Li Xin stamped her foot, Im afraid of everyone elses judgment. Dont head back like that, or how would I even be able to face your teammates? Enough. Lin Xin abruptly turned back, furiously replying, What use will I have to hit you? You didnt say anything wrong, Im just a coward that didnt have the guts to learn offensive magic. Even if I hit you and curse you, dont tell me that you believe that it would be enough to lessen the pain in my heart? Hmpf Lin Xins words ended with a grunting sound, and his originallyrge eyes appeared evenrger as he red at her. If someone else was present, he would have described this scene as astonishing. A pretty and vigorous knight was at this moment grabbing the head of a mage, pushing him against the stone wall behind him, before fiercely kissing his lips. Chapter 258 - Slaughter! (III)

Chapter 258: ughter! (III)

At this time, Lin Xins brain almost short circuited. Li Xins ardent lips were likeva, melting all his anger and sad feelings. Currently, he just felt his whole body going soft, clearly turning pale as he sticked to the side of the wall, just as if he had turned into a sort of mural painting. Separating her lips, Li Xin rapidly drew back until her armor knocked against the other side of the wall with a bang sound. Her charming face appeared deep red, just like the color of her Rose Unicorn. Although she didnt gasp for breath, her breast was heaving and she clearly wasnt as undisturbed as usually. This should do! Li Xin fiercely said, but gave off the impression that she could fall over at any given times now. You cannot beat me or curse me now! This youngdy isnt as wealthy as you, neither does she have anything precious she can give topensate you. This will just do, now I dont owe you anything anymore. After she was finished, she rapidly bolted in the direction of the exit, before suddenly thinking of something. After taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Lin Xins painting-like-silhouette, and couldnt help but speak out in anger, Scoundrel, whats up with this grieved appearance!? This was thisdys first kiss! As she dered that, she picked up a small rock and threw it at Lin Xin, hitting his leg, before turning back and running away at a flying speed. Lin Xin looked stiff and turned his head with an exaggerated motion, looking at Li Xins disappearing figure. His pale face suddenly became flushed, I Did she just forcefully kiss me? Touching his own lips, he still felt the lingering presence of this ardent feeling. Without awareness of the time that had passed, he walked back to the exit with the support of the stone wall, his legs still feeling unsteady and weak. Running into Chen Yinger, he was given a suspicious look, Whats up with you, has-drug-bro? Have you caught a fever or what? How can your face be so red? Im alright. Lin Xin touched his burning face, looking for a ce to sit down with a sluggish face. As far as he could see, Li Xin wasnt around. Three whole day passed before the two Demon Hunt Squads recovered a minimal level of fighting strength, though this did not include Yi Jun and Dian Yan. The first hadmitted a great overdraft and needed to be nursed for some more time, whereas the second was seriously wounded and had yet to recover. But even so, they were ready to move again, and would just barely be unable to face the enemy but nothing more. Over the past two days, Li Xin and Lin Xin seemed to be avoiding each other, but couldnt help but asionally steal a nce at the other party. The others werent blind, and naturally felt the strange atmosphere between the two of them. It was only that they were currently in a dangerous ce, and everyone was focusing his energy on recovering strength, so no one payed close attention to them. Their only thought was that the rtion between the two of them was just rather awkward because of Li Xins forceful inquisition, but by paying good attention, one would discover that Lin Xins face was strangely flushed red whenever he caught a glimpse of Li Xin. Come here everyone! Long Haochen stood at Caiers side, raising his voice and calling them together. Everyone immediately reacted, and rapidly gathered at his side. Over the past three days, everyone except from Caier, Yi Jun and Dian Yan have mostly recovered. I believe everyone is very curious about what I saw in the Deste Hissing Cavern, what this cavern was in the end. Ill show you everything. He was a bit ashamed of it, but Long Haochen couldnt possibly disclose the secret of the Tower of Eternity because it would not necessarily be a good thing. Maybe it would even bring him great inconveniences. Hearing Long Haochens words, everyone curiously nced at him, but waited respectfully. As the captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, who explored the cavern by himself, if Long Haochen wanted to keep everything he discovered for himself, the members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad would not be qualified to say anything against it. Without Long Haochen, they wouldnt even be alive. But Long Haochen put his cards on the table and by openly revealing everything, he indicated that he didnt have the desire of keeping everything for himself. The Recording Gem disyed an image under the influence of the spiritual energy injected by Long Haochen, and the world existing inside of the Deste Hissing Cavern appeared in everyones view. It couldnt be denied that this Recording Gem was indeed a rare type of treasure. Not only did it record the images, but even the iing sounds. Long Haochen appeared in the middle of the image, when the situation inside of the Deste Hissing Cavern started to be disyed; Because the whole record was very long, Long Haochen used his spiritual energy to regte it, elerating the whole process. At the beginning of Long Haochens exploration, it could be seen that his body was surrounded by such violent fluctuations of spiritual energy, that everyone couldnt help but feel a chill upon seeing it. Although they didnt experience it for real, they could imagine how violent of a pressure Long Haochen had been subject to. When Long Haochen suddenly released a Holy Mantle, his figure suddenly came to a stop and the record paused. Under everyones amazement, Haochen dered in a serious tone, The results of this exploration werent ideal, and I dont know whether these images will be enough for us to get the mission approved aspleted, but inside the Deste Hissing Cavern, bearing those hissing sounds caused me to gain understanding of a new ability. Since we came here together, risking our life side by side toplete the mission, I am willing to share this ability with all of you. This way, this errand wont have been for naught no matter how the Alliance decides. As for whether youll be able to understand it, it will depend on yourselves. Long Haochens words shoke everyone as one may imagine, particrly the six members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, whose expression changedpletely. Luc Xi retorted with almost no hesitation, Captain Long, you dont need to do this. Self created abilities dont need to be shared with outsiders, it can be said to be a part of your own ability! In a different situation, perhaps Long Haochen wouldnt reveal the secret of the ability he hardly gainedprehension of, but because of the secret he kept in the form of the Tower of Eternity, he felt a bit ashamed towards the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. His kindhearted character made him do this as an attempt to make up for his insincerity. Long Haochen revealed a smile, This ability that Iprehended isnt something anyone can learn. It is rather suited to a close quarters warrior. Dont decline it, Captain Luc, since I said this much, Ill do it. Next, please listen with attention everyone; Ill tell you about the whole process of my understanding, and whether you manage to learn it or not will depend on your own abilities. I named this new ability Ripples of Light As he said this, a Holy Mantle was released from Long Haochens body, and he hinted Li Xin with a gesture, Sis,unch an attack against my Holy Mantle. Do it slowly, to let everyone have a good look. Li Xin gave Long Haochen a helpless nce; the greatest weakness of this younger brother of her was just too clear. Dont forget this is a precious self-created ability! However, she still acted in ordance to Long Haochens instructions. In her eyes, his disposition as a leader was just improving with time, so since he chose to do this, he ought to have his own reasons. A fiery red aura was directed against the Holy Mantle and Li Xin made use of her spiritual energy to send a cut towards the Holy Mantle. But at the instant this cut came into contact with the Holy Mantle, a sudden buzzing sound could be heard, and Li Xin immediately opened her eyes wide. She waspletely shocked to see that her cut was deflected without a chance to prate Long Haochens Holy Mantle. Since everyone watched carefully, they clearly saw that at the instant Li Xins spiritual energy made its way into the Holy Mantle, the whole Holy Mantle emanated a kind of fierce ripples. Those ripples were the cause of the Holy Mantles sudden increase in defensive power, so that it was able to deflect Li Xins cut with ease. Long Haochen continued to speak, This ability called Ripples of Light is something Iprehended inside of the Deste Hissing Cavern. You should know how powerful the impacts of the hissing sounds were, right? Well, Ripples of Light will bring this kind of amplification to your offensive and defensive abilities. It is able to strengthen our offensive and defensive ability greatly at the cost of an increased consumption of spiritual energy. Next, Long Haochen narrated without reservation his whole process of understanding that led to the creation of the Ripples of Light, and showed it once again to everyone else. It was just as Long Haochen said: Ripples of Light wasnt suited to magic vocations, and only close quartersbatants could use it. Everyone had a clear understanding of how great the utility of his ability could be. Han Daosi felt that Ripples of Light could produce an incredible increase to his offensive power, whereas a Shield Warrior like Dian Yan felt that the benefits were rather to increase his defensive power by arge extent. After the end of the record, Long Haochen gave his own narration, speaking of the Tower of Light that appeared in the veryst instant before the specters threw themselves at him. At this time, I felt a great paining from my brain. It was as if these specters were trying to seize my body forcefully. It was at this time that Haoyue came, making use of a soul attack to drive them out. After this moment followed a period of stupor, and by the time I came back to my senses, the tower had already disappeared. From beginning to end, I havent seen it clearly enough to determine what it was. The recording ability of the Recording Gem also seems to have been affected, since it didnt record anything that happened while I was in a state of stupor. However, I can be certain that even if that tower was still there, its not something that we could confront with our level of cultivation. Long Haochen had thought long beforeing up with this story, and still felt guilty deep inside when telling it. But thinking of the shock the necromancers gave to the human world, he finally kept a strong front, telling this half-true story to his ownrades. After he was done, the most spectacr thing to him was that no one called his report into question. It was clear that with the power of the hissing sound that appeared in the record, they wouldnt possibly even have made it as far as him, and couldnt possibly have done any better than Long Haochen. They had already gone as far as they could to aplish the mission. Han Daosi said in an embarrassed tone, Captain Long, since it was as you said, these records should at least give us half the reward upon returning. That That ability of yours, can we. Chapter 259 - Modu City (I)

Chapter 259: Modu City (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Han Daosi clearly expressed all the close quarters fighters thoughts. Seeing the ardent look in his eyes, Long Haochen nodded in response with a smile. Yes. Then Ill be giving everyone some pointers on how to master this skill. After some more time for rest, we will think of how to return to the Alliance. For some time, everyone concentrated their attention on the ability Ripples of Light. Deep in their hearts, everyone was grateful towards Long Haochen . An ability created from single individualsprehension being taught to a whole group was something that had never happened in the history of the Alliance. At this time, their talent ofprehension was disyed to its fullest. Han Yu was the first to understand the secrets of the Ripple of Lights, understanding it after a day, and the second was Sima Xian. Although Sima Xian was a priest, he was a berserker priest using his physical power, and mastered the Ripples of Light just like Han Yu did. Inparison, it was a lot harder for a priest like him to learn the self-created ability of a knight, so he was clearly slower in the process than Han Yu was. Long Haochenughed in spite of himself at seeing this scene. It showed that at the time someone lost things, he would earn others: Sima Xian was a priest that was unable to learn healing magic, but was really gifted in learning offensive abilities. In contrast, on the side of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, the three close-quarters warriors didnt have the slightest results, and the same went for Li Xin. Long Haochen didnt voice it, but understood that ones individualprehension was closely rted to their innate internal spiritual energy. The fact Sima Xian and Han Yu could rapidlyprehend it was rted to their internal spiritual energy, which reached eighty after the Innate Talent Sharing, and also because they possessed the light attribute. His wholeprehension was established in rtion to the light element, so it naturally became easier for them to learn it than for the others. After three days passed, Dian Yan and Han Daosi gave up on trying to understand Ripples of Light, and although Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan didnt seed yet, they shared an incredible determination, painstakingly practicing everyday. Seeking the enormous utility the offensive ability Ripples of Light could bring them, and seeing the concessions Long Haochen did to share it, they had already made the firm resolution not to give up no matter what. Of course, determination wasnt enough toplement for a difference in the power of understanding, so it was hard to say whether they would manage to learn it or not. But as long as they tried, they also had a chance to seed. As Luc Xi watched this whole process as a spectator, he couldnt help but sigh inwardly. It looked that their Demon Hunt Squad would never catch up with Long Haochens no matter what. At least unless they miraculously met with a fateful encounter or got a lifetimes chance. Since they arrived there, seven days already passed. Han Daosi scouted once more, determining that the side of the Deste Hissing Cavern was already thoroughly controlled by the Fiend Army. He didnt dare get closer, but reported the situation to everyone. Close to the Deste Hissing Cavern, at least three Fiend Lords were present, and it was very likely that other existences that even surpassed them were also close by. Clearly, the disappearance of over a hundred Grand Fiends led them to intervene personally. It also seemed as if they were very determined to gain the treasures from the Deste Hissing Cavern. Luc Xi found Long Haochen to directly report to him, Captain Long, a Fiend Army is present outside, but shouldnte near us. Dian Yan and Yi Jun have already recovered mostly, and putting the destroyed equipment aside, our two teams are fundamentally at an optimum state. Shouldnt we think of a way to return? Long Haochen nodded in response, Thats right, we cannot stay in this ce for too long. But my big sister and Yuanyuan are still trying to understand the Ripples of Light. If we interrupt them now, Im afraid they wont have future opportunities toprehend it. Now, if we want to return to the Alliance the fastest possible, our best solution is to use the same method as on our way here. We will use the Moon ns route. Luc Xi started, Are you saying that we should look for that president of the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce? Long Haochen looked up, Since she is controlled by Caier, she cannot resort to any tricks. With her protection, we should be able to spare strength during our return to the Alliance. Luc Xi remarked, But this is still dangerous. What if that Yue Ye recklessly tries to expose us? Wouldnt it Long Haochen replied, Ive already thought of this bit. Although the possibility is low, we cannot put it aside. I n to head to the Moon ns headquarters alone; Yue Ye has already told me its location. Its the Moon Pce, located in the Demon God Pces side of the Central Province. I will be looking for her by myself, and if everything goes well, I will bring her here. This will be the safest way. And with the blood connection between Haoyue and myself, even if I run into some danger, Ill have no problem to escape. Luc Xi gave Long Haochen a nce, and revealed a bitter smile, Compared to you, captain, Im simply a useless person. Long Haochen patted his shoulder, Captain Luc, dont say that. If not for your presence, we wouldnt have made it so far. We are members of a same team, and managed to reap an important amount of contribution points. As a team, your healing is what everyone needs the most. Lets leave it at that, I will set out tonight. I leave this side to you. Caier has lost four of her senses and cannot be teleported along with Haoyue, so I will have to leave her here. If you meet with danger here, Haoyue will immediately inform me and Ill return instantly. Luc Xi nodded, You travel with ease, I will properly take care of the measures to keep us hidden. By the means of a simple exchange of words, the two captains decided on the future ns of the team. Long Haochen returned to Caiers side, lightly pulling her hand, and writing a few words that he had decided on beforehand. Caier was nestling against him, using her slim fingers to write in his palm the words, Dont be toote toe back. Not obstructing him the least, and not insisting on staying by his side, Caier was the same as usual, always giving consideration to Long Haochen. Giving her a tender hug and feeling her softness, Long Haochens expression finally loosened. He was determined, that aftering back, he wouldnt ept another mission until Caier recovered her four senses, and choose to apany her in Holy City during this difficult period. Lin Xin,e here. Long Haochen called Lin Xin, who was busy making pills nearby. Lin Xin had to carry the burden of making pills, so Long Haochen set up a special space to let him refine it in a calm environment that suited him. Hearing Long Haochens call, Lin Xin hastingly ran up to his side, Captain, thesest few days have been all right for me. Although this adventure turned out to be filled with many untold dangers and difficulties, we gained even more good materials than before. Its just that this ce is rather simple and crude, so I couldnt start researching new products yet. But at least, I will have made some of the same pills as before. Most of my energy is directed at making Great Recovery Pills. I should being up with the first batch today. I estimate that there should be no problem to make seven or eight sets. Just as Long Haochen said it before, everyone was absolutely necessary in this team. The utility of Lin Xins pills, often at crucial times was something everyone experienced personally. Of course, Spiritual Bursting Pills and Bloodthirsty Pills had a certain use, but what the team needed the most at this time was Great Recovery Pills. After all, they had already used up a good amount of the former two kinds. By making some more Great Recovery Pills, they could share some with the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. Of course, this would be in exchange for some contribution points. A hundred contribution points per pill; this was the price Lin Xin concluded. In his own words, it was a rather low price. Lin Xin had his absolute nature of an unscrupulous businessman. In the end, he didnt collect the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads contribution points, guaranteeing three Great Recovery Pills per person in exchange for all the material from the beast corpses the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad had collected. This included the corpses of magical beasts they already had stored beforehand, the magical crystals they had. All the storage devices on Luc Xis side were emptied of the magical beast corpses in it. It was a huge profit! But Lin Xin was the only one who knew how much profit this was. Long Haochen nodded, responding, I didnt call you to ask about the situation regarding the pills. This is a field we dont understand at all. Everything is left to you on this. Lin Xin was startled, asking with some hesitation, Then what did you call me for, Captain? Long Haochen gave a nce to another nearby person, before lowering his voice, I want to ask you what happened between my sis and you? Something is wrong between you these days. Eeh? Lin Xin jumped back, almost falling down, and on his face appeared a sort of boiling red trace. Was there really something? Long Haochen asked. No Nothing! Lin Xin hurried to defend himself, How could something happen between Miss Li Xin and myself? Nothing happened, really! Long Haochen unhappily replied, Your show is really not up to much. Take a look at your face if you have a mirror, youre blushing even more than the most girly little girl among little girls. Go, Ill ask my sister. If I learn that you tried to bully her, humpf, youll see. Lin Xin revealed a bitter face, Captain, oh almighty captain, just let me off the hook this time. Its such a loss of face, I really dont want to say it. Long Haochen showed a serious face, Lin Xin, my sis was the one in the wrong to reprimand you. But this is after all a joint mission between our two squads, where we have to help each other and trust the other party. I dont wish for a grudge between you two, otherwise, this may have a catastrophic effect during the times we run into danger. You understand? Lin Xin was indeed quite helpless, Boss, please dont be so serious. I never bore a grudge towards miss Li Xin! I I Long Haochen looked straight at him, waiting for his next words. Chapter 260 - Modu Core City (II)

Chapter 260: Modu Core City (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin stared at him indecisively before finally stamping his feet on the ground, Okay, then Ill tell you. Your sis took advantage of me and forcefully kissed me! WHAAT! Long Haochen never expected this, and this cry of surprise was so loud that it caused everyone to look over in rm. Boss, keep quiet, or else, how do you expect me to have any shame left ? Lin Xin said awkwardly, his face turning ming red. Long Haochens expression became somewhat unsightly, Lin Xin, I dont care about your narcissism, but how can you be narcissistic enough to im something like that? How could my sis force a kiss on you? Dont forget shes a girl, and youre ndering someones purity right now. I I I Lin Xin looked torn betweenughter and tears, Boss, how could I try to fool you? If not for you, I wouldnt even be in this Demon Hunt Squad! Let me exin everything to you. He really couldnt hide it anymore, and approached Long Haochens ear, telling him about the misunderstanding that happened between Li Xin and himself, how she came to look for him, and told him about everything that happened between the two of them. Having heard his story, Long Haochens became stone-faced. Looking at Li Xin who was painstakingly focusing on training, he was simply speechless. Whats this?! Sis, youre too intrepid this time! For fear that Long Haochen wouldnt believe him, he imitated Li Xins motion, turning his hand over to cover his head along with Long Haochens ear, Boss, you see, when Miss Xin did this, she had a hand holding the back of my head, that and dont forget shes a knight! Im just a mage, even if I wanted to fight back, I couldnt do anything more than struggle! And then Looking at his grieved face, Long Haochen unhappily retorted back, Youre the one taking advantage here! My sis is a girl you know, and it was her first kiss. How can you be unsatisfied after taking such great advantage?! Lin Xin said in a low voice, Boss, Im not unsatisfied or anything! Its just that Im not taking advantage at all! That was also my first kiss you know! Eh? Long Haochen gave him an unconvinced look, Could you possibly still have something such as a first kiss? What about the youngdy that seemed ready to eat you at the auction house? one can pretty much call you a womanizer with certainty, how could it be your first kiss! I wouldnt be even surprised to hear that youve had ten thousand before. Lin Xin cried out in disatisfaction, Boss, Im telling the truth! I am at most a bit narcissistic, but I am pure to the core. Under grandfathers tight watch, if I really dared to tangle with a girl, he would definitely not let me off. And you know, I am just a few years older than you, and Im not even twenty now. Im not so precocious you know! If I was doing dirty things to girls every day, how could I be such an outstanding alchemist!? Long Haochens expression turned into extreme surprise, and a long timeter, he tried asking, What do you n on doing? Treat it as though nothing happened? Lin Xin unhappily spoke back, This was my first kiss, my very first time! How can I treat it as though it didnt happen? Plus that it has been taken like that. I I Long Haochen kneaded his head and responded, Its enough, go back to making your pills. Theres nothing I can do about this. Think of something by yourself. Theres just one thing I demand of you: you are not permitted to hurt my sis. Otherwise, I really wont let you off. Lin Xin lightly nodded, suddenly lowering his voice, Actually, I kind of prefer older girls. And Miss Xin is quite pretty. Boss, tell me, if I went after your big sister Xiner, would I have a chance? Dont ask me that, I dont really know either. But know that if you try, you may have a chance, but you wont have any if you dont. If you are really determined, just go for it. Ill be heading to the Moon ns ce to look for a way out for us. Think well before you act. Mh. Lin Xin continued speaking, Ive been thinking about something these days. I dont know why, but ever since this kiss, I suddenly realized that Miss Xin is bing prettier and prettier in my eyes. I am thinking of going after her, but I just dont really know how I should. Ive no experience on this, boss, cant you teach me? Long Haochen showed an unhappy reaction, How could I teach you? Seeing that you dont have any firsthand experience, dont tell me you think I have? Lin Xin didnt have any hesitation to respond, Of course you have some, just how old is Caier! Since you got hold of her, how can you say you have no experience? Just get lost! Kicking Lin Xin that carried a malicious smile, Long Haochen turned towards Caier without paying any further attention to him. Along with the passage of time, Long Haochen understood Lin Xins characters gradually more and more. Be it in terms of looks, natural disposition, ability or background, he waspletely above Li Xin. If he was really sincere, this wouldnt be something bad. But everything would depend on fate, and he didnt n on intervening in this. He believed that his own big sisters judgment would be enough for her to make her own decision. From the west, the night slowly engulfed the earth, and Long Haochen noiselessly left the ravine, heading down. The Deste Hissing Cavern in itself was located in the Central Province of the demon territory, and its location was marked long ago on his map. After passing from the side of the mountain range, he rushed to the Central Province. Along with the increase of his cultivation, Long Haochens ability was boosted as a whole. Although he wasnt riding Haoyue, when running at full strength, he was fast enough to match a speeding horse in the wilderness. The current him had already put on the Demonic Eyes of the Moon n as well as the clothes given to him by Yue Ye, and made use of the darkness of the night to speed towards his destination while staying low-key. The night sky was beautiful, bathed in resplendent starlight, with a half-moon spreading its hazy moonlight. This half-moon was partly hidden behind clouds, spreading a soft luster. Although Long Haochen left, Caier still remained in his heart. This time, he gave Haoyue an order, that no matter what, he was not to take even half a step away from Caier. In case something happened, he would immediately recall Long Haochen to Caiers side. He would definitely not permit anyone to injure his Caier again. This quicktrip didnt feel lonely for Long Haochen. Thinking about the whole process of the mission, he summed up the wins and the losses in his head. Without a doubt, this mission was out of his capabilities from the very beginning. They had run into trouble right after trying to enter through the Frence Merchants. A series of battles hade one after another. But as a whole, they were still fortunate that at least no one died from all these misadventures. Difficult battles would polish ones willpower and ability. Long Haochen believed that as long as they could make it back alive from this trip, both the 21st general squad and the 4th soldier squad would make great progress. Furthermore, this times rewards were plentiful. Having killed so many demon powerhouses, they could already figure out through simple calctions that the contribution points their 21st Demon Hunt Squad obtained through killing demons already exceeded 10,000, though they had yet to determine the total amount. But still, 10,000 was the most conservative estimate. The stronger they were, the more they had to invest themselves in the team. Long Haochen and Caier were the typical examples of this. Caiers case didnt even need to be recalled: with her strength merely at the fifth step, she had beaten a Fiend Lord of the seventh step in a one on one battle, letting Long Haochen witness the absurd power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Long Haochen had also portrayed sufficient strength as a leader. Be it as amander or as the central pir of his team, he was already close to perfection. And during this mission, he was also the one who reaped the most gains. During the past days of rest, Long Haochen made use of the Spiritual Energy Examination Gem to check his internal spiritual energy, and it turned out that he was currently an Earth Knight of the ninth rank, reaching a spiritual energy of above 3,700. The Saint Spiritual Stove was also distinctly only a single step away from evolving once again, plus he had the Light Elemental Fairy Yating as well as the Pendant of Eternal Melody which he didnt know the rank of. Long Haochen was certain that as long as he was given a steady environnement, he would at most need two months to reach and break through the bottleneck of the Radiant Knights rank. In fact, when taking everything into ount, less than half a year had passed since he broke through to the fifth step. Even Long Haochen himself found his cultivating speed to be quite terrifying. And this was not his greatest harvest, that would be the Tower of Eternal Rest. Although he didnt know what this tower would bring him, he was sure that this fantastic tower of mysteries was formidable enough topare with a divine artifact. He had to make it back alive no matter what! Long Haochen unconsciously clenched his fists. As long as he came back alive, he would be sure to possess the flight ability by the next time they would enter in the demon territory. Roughly two hundred kilometers separated the Deste Hissing Cavern from his current location. Considering his current speed, at sunrise of that day, he would already have reached his destination. The Central Province and its vast ins englobed a tenth of the whole demon territory, making it the biggest of the twenty-four provinces. The demons capital city was located in the core area of this Central Province. Though, it wasnt called a demon capital, but rather a core city, in the meaning of being the core for the Demon Gods. This Modu City used to be a huge imperial capital, before being seized and transformed by demons who changed it to this shape over several thousands years. This Modu Core City was enormous, to the extent that no city in the Alliance was able topare with it. Its size could be said to be twenty times that of the Exorcist City, following a square-shaped architecture. Within it, the Demon Emperor Pce was situated right at the center of Core City, acting as the central building of the city. The first ranked Demon God Pir, belonging to the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, was located in this Demon Emperor Pce. The Demon Emperor Pce aside, four other pces were situated at the four corners of the Modu Core City, belonging to the second, third, fourth and fifth Demon Gods. Their Demon God Pirs located inside of their respective pces, they were dwelling in these ces, making the importance of this city to the demon race clearly visible. At the time this terrifying city appeared in Long Haochens sight, the day had already begun, but because this enormous city waspletely pitch-ck, he was unable to discern any traces of dawns daylight. Chapter 261 - Modu Core City (III)

Chapter 261: Modu Core City (III)

In the sky of this enormous city, ck clouds could be seen, forming apletely different environment from the one outside of the city. Not a single ray of sunlight illuminated this citys insides. From afar, Long Haochen vaguely discerned a hazy ck fog, seemingly spreading in the air unchallenged. Only by looking, he had the feeling of being stifled by this city. Apparently, the light elemental spiritual energy contained inside was being strongly suppressed, while the darkness elemental concentration was at least threefolds more than the external world. Slowing down his pace, Long Haochen arranged his clothing, taking out the emblem given by Yue Ye in his hands. Rubbing his cheeks to loosen his facial expression, he advanced in the direction of Modu Core City. After a whole night of travelling at his maximum pace on his way here, he needed some rest to alleviate the fatigue. Dont forget that, because this ce was in the core of the demon territory, he could not summon the Light Elemental Fairy Yating to help him, neither use the sunlights assistance, which terribly slowed down his recovery speed. Long Haochen took half an hour to recover from his exertion after the city appeared to his view to reach it. The Modu Core City was really wide. All the perimeter was ten timesrger than normal city walls, making their length unmatched in the history of Shengmo Dalu. Long Haochens chose to enter from the southern city gate, which was the one guarded by the Moon Demon n. The four city gates were protected by the second, third, fourth and fifth demon gods, and the south of the city was the Moon ns territory. With his current appearance, Long Haochen looked like a nobleman from the Moon n, looking tired from his trip. After showing his viscount insignia, the guards immediately paid their respects, letting him enter in the city. Nheless, Long Haochens back was drenched in sweat. This was because, these demons from the Moon ns were only soldiers of lower rank, but seemed to have a strength at the fourth step, making them no inferior to Grand Fiends from the Fiend n. This caused him to think secretly that if not for the fact that Princess Yue Ye had some human blood, perhaps her strength would not be merely at the fifth step. Unhurriedly entering the Modu Core City, Long Haochen found a rather remote corner of the city, assessing the central demon city. Modu Core Citys roads were extremely broad, enough for a carriage of the size as the one Yue Ye used back then to be used without feeling crowded. On the two sides of the city, stores stood in great numbers. Most of the buildings were tall, and they had mostly simple designs on them, making it way different from the characteristics of the Glorious Eras buildings. 6,000 thousand years ago, as demons brought a catastrophe upon humans, they made a huge part of the human knowledge theirs. If one was to take a quick look, this city seemed to be pretty much the same as a human city, if not even more flourishing than any other human city. But upon taking a closer look, one can notice that this ce was different as it is pitch-ck and filled with coldness. Some humans asionally showed up on the street, but the vast majority of the people present were demons of various kinds. Of course, lower ranked demons like Dual ded Demons of the Zelin n were unseen, and most of them were a lot more powerful. Evidently, being able to enter the Modu Core City was an honor to any demon. So this is the center ofmand of the demon race??Long Haochen pondered deeply, because he had already run across four powerhouses of the sixth step and even one at the seventh step since he entered. And, in the streets of Modu Core City, they simply appeared like averagemoners that didnt stand out at all. After observing for a short time, Long Haochen didnt stay in that ce, but immediately headed for his current destination. With the map he possessed, it wasnt possible for him to get lost after entering from the southern gate of this square-shaped city. Modu Core City was really huge, and Long Haochen was still in the outer region, thus reaching the Moon Castle took him a whole hour. Although he knew about the Core City in advance, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel astonished upon standing in front of the Moon Castle. This was simply like another mini-city. The deep purple-colored walls were over thirty meters long and the wide pce had the shape of an inestimablyrge square. The walls of the pce were purple-colored, and from there, Long Haochen distinctly recognized an increase of the elemental fluctuations in the air. The elemental fluctuations in this ce were several folds more intense. The Alliances Great Stadium was not even close to that Moon Castle in size. And aside from the Demon Emperors Pce, there were three other ces of this scale in the Modu Core City. Long Haochen suddenly felt powerless: seeing the scale of Modu Core City, what kind of strength could possibly break through it!? Had humanity really any hope of defeating demonkind one day? This thought only shed through his mind, but staunching his resolve, he rapidly came back to his senses. Once he arrived in front of the Moon Castle, Long Haochen took out his viscount emblem of the Moon n, walking resolutely and going in. Viscount of the Moon n was not a title that only applied to the Moon n, but to all demons ns. Being a nobleman from the Moon n was an honorable status. Only the Moon ns Leader, Agares, was qualified to give someone this status as a direct order. Seeing this young viscount, the guardsmen hurriedly bowed and made their salutations, not questioning Long Haochens status in the slightest. Aside from this emblem, Long Haochens admirable face was his best proof of identity. In the Moon n, the greater was ones status, the stronger was the branch he belonged to, and the more handsome he would be. And Long Haochens appearance was something even the Moon Demon God Agares wouldnt necessarily match. As soon as the guards saw his purple eyes and his appearance, they immediately drew back without the slightest hesitation, not even daring to look at his emblem. The Moon Castle was huge, and Long Haochen had to use the map given by Yue Ye to find his path. At the same time, he had to make his own aura vanishpletely. He clearly understood the danger of this ce: with the Moon Demon God being the second most powerful demon god out of the seventy-two, no less than a dozen powerhouses of the ninth step would be be present in this Moon Castle. If he was exposed in this sort of ce, his only choice would be to immediately leave through his blood connection with Haoyue. He couldnt stay for a single second. His handsome appearance having be his greatest asset, it surprisingly became easy for Long Haochen to advance: all the Moon nsmen, regardless of whether they were male or female, elderly or young, strong or weak, appeared extremely respectful, even taking the initiative to make their salutations to him and invite him to walk ahead of them. Although Yue Ye described him the importance of ones appearance for the Moon n, Long Haochen didnt think it would have such utility. But no matter what one said, this was a good thing, avoiding him quite a few troubles. The Moon Castle was separated into an inner part and an outer part. The outer part of the castle was for the powerhouses of the Moon n to reside in, whereas the inner part was only for the direct rtives of the Moon Demon God to enter. Compared to the already broad and luxurious outer part, the inner part was simply like a pce. At the time Long Haochen tried to enter in the inner part, he was once again inspected. Still, his viscount emblem showed good utility, as the insignia carved in it permitted him to enter with no difficulty. Stepping into the inner pce, Long Haochen suddenly felt that it became hard to breath. The elemental fluctuations in this ce were extremely dense, to the extent that it reached a viscous degree. Every breath he took, he felt that his body was being filled with elemental particles, fiercely confronting the light elemental energy in his body. This feeling was truly hard to bear. Long Haochen came to understand that if he stayed here for a too long, his cultivation would probably take a huge blow and weaken from that. Apparently, the Moon Demon Gods Demon God Pir should be located inside of this Moon Castle. I wonder where it is This majestic purple pce extended endlessly. Noble, simple yet elegant, and carrying a prestigious feeling. This inner pce vastly exceeded the office house of the Temple Alliance in all regards. After entering, Long Haochen didnt dare to keep staring, rapidly made a detour to the side while avoiding the middle of the pathway and heading to a rather secluded part, into a pce of modest size. Dense vegetation was surrounding it, and the pce clearly looked more simple than the others. Stand! Dont you know that these are the princess quarters? And you still dare make your way inside? Two tall female Moon nsmen blocked Long Haochens way. With but a mere nce, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a gasp, because these two Moon nswomen that looked below twenty were both at the sixth step of cultivation. What kind of talent is that??Long Haochen couldnt help but secretly smile bitterly. Although he knew that this was dependant on ones innate capability, and that some of these demon ns couldnt bepared to humans in this aspect, he still couldnt refrain himself from feeling a bit jealous. Please show the princess this insignia. Long Haochen passed his own viscount insignia to them, before taking a few steps back, unyieldingly standing straight. Seeing the emblem, the look on the twodies faces immediately softened, Please wait a moment, mister viscount. After the conversation, one of the two figures shed, and Long Haochen just saw a purple trail of moonlight in his line of sight, before thatdys figure disappeared. A short timeter, the moonlight glowed once again, and thatdy appeared in the former ce once again, Mister viscount, the princess invited you in. Mh. Long Haochen nodded calmly, entering inrge strides. The two Moon nswomen looked at each other face to face, and one said in a low voice, Wah, how handsome! Its the first time that I see such a handsome viscount. Could he be mdys husband-to-be? The other girl replied with envy, That is highly possible. Only such a powerful and handsome nsman can be a match for our princess. You too saw his appearance, which was close to perfect. I estimate that he should at least be a powerhouse of the eighth step, that should shortly break through to the ninth step. And he is surely under fifty. The moon nsmens average age was fifty, but to them, fifty years-old was an extremely young age. The only backdraw was that the men from the Moon n were the same as the Devil Dragons on one aspect: their fertility was low. Tightening the internal spiritual energy in his body, Long Haochen made certain that his connection with Haoyue was still strong, before heading into the princess chamber.

Chapter 262: chapter to keep ast bit of suspense going (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Yue Yes pce was a two floored building. Compared to the lofty and luxurious pces located in the Moon Demon Pce, her pce wasnt very eye-catching. But the fact that she possessed a pce of her own in the inner part of the Moon Castle was ample proof of her position within the Moon n. Yue Ye calmly stood in the living room, wearing a purple long skirt. Her long hair was set free, and she didnt have any cosmetics put on her naturally beautiful face. Without any jewellery on her, she gave a gentle look to Long Haochen who slowly walked towards her. Your Highness. Long Haochen looked at her, secretly shocked that outside of their previous predicament, her appearance was really refined. Yue Ye waved her hand and ordered, You can go. Yes. The four maids serving nearby rapidly retired from their post by the wide hall, leaving only Long Haochen and Yue Ye . I didnt expect you toe so quickly. Yue Ye said with a smile while hinting at him toe closer. Walking to her seat, she sat down before hinting Long Haochen to do the same. Im sorry to disturb you, Your Highness. Long Haochen calmly smiled. At this time, he appeared rather calm, and didnt give off a single trace of anxiety. Yue Ye looked straight at his face, asking in a soft voice, Then, has Captain Longs mission beenpleted? Long Haochens eyes suddenly shed with cold light, immediately revealing a serious look. To him, this ce was the den of the tiger and not to be trusted. Yue Ye naturally understood his thought, and said with a smile, Captain Long doesnt need to worry, only confidents of mine are by my side. None of them would go on gossiping. Long Haochen deliberately calmed his expression. Calm again, he gave her a reply, Yes, I dont doubt your word. Considering President Yue Yes ability, I believe that she wouldnt let the people at her side show disobedience for a second time. A sullen look of danger appeared on Yue Yes face, Are you mocking me? I dont dare, I am just speaking honestly. We could not aplish this mission, but it wont be necessary for us to proceed with it. I am nning on returning to the Alliance, could you help me? Long Haochen didnt n to nag at her, and got right to the point. Yue Ye wrinkled her brows, and replied, This isnt a problem. Thest time I made a report to my father, he was infuriated, to the misfortune of the guys at the side of the Nareiks Province. After his Majestys order to conduct a thorough investigation, their three Demon Gods were immediately put on trial by our Demon God Emperor, deprived ofmand over their subordinates. But the thing is, I can temporarily not leave the Moon Demon Castle as I still have some matters to handle here. If you want to head back, I can arrange a merchant group acting in the name of our Yue Ye Merchant Group for you. After the retribution suffered by those who attacked us thest time, I estimate that no one would dare act against our merchant group again. Moreover, you will be able to leave unharmed for the Temple Alliance. Long Haochen nodded in response, Thanks a lot. When can we set off? Yue Ye gave an unhappy reply, I am not a god. I need some time to prepare all of this. It will take at least three days, and at most ten days. I have to make a good amount of preparation for this. Alright. Long Haochen then asked, How will Your Highness inform me? Yue Ye said, The best would be to have you stay here for now, as you wait for me to finish all preparations before you leave. I have a lot of free rooms where you can stay, and this isnt a ce where anyone would dare to rashly enter. You want me to stay here? Long Haochen was immediately cautious. Yue Ye was unable to stifle herughter, How can such a wise and farsighted person as Captain Long ask such a silly question? Dont tell me you are afraid that I may have some bad intentions towards you? If this was my intention, I could simply have refused to meet you. But still, your friends methods are really too savage. Sincemitting a bad act of any kind against you would prevent the restriction in my body from being relieved, this would just be the same as asking for death. Is this the attitude you should have as a coborator? Long Haochens expression came back to normal, giving an indifferent reply, Coborator? You are a demon princess, and our rtionship is at most one where we make use of each other, nothing more. Speaking of coboration is out of question. If I havent guessed wrong, the resources you brought backst time were transported to Modu Core City. Can you really say that you are staying neutral? Yue Ye nodded without any hesitation, Of course I can. This is the most important motto we, frence merchants, have. You just saw the things I transported back, but didnt get to see what I usually bring to the humans side. This time when you follow my caravan back to the Temple Alliance, I will let you see it. Long Haochen replied, That would be great. Yue Ye gave him an ardent look, suddenly standing up and heading in his direction, Then, if I may ask, when will you have your friend remove the restriction she ced on my body? I am sincerely coborating with you here. But having this thing in my body, makes me feel uneasy and nervous, and is really a great pain. As she said so, she softened her body, about to sit on hisp. Long Haochen had been on high alert since he entered the city, so his reaction was naturally fast. His body shed, leaving its seat, and Yue Yes flexible body only barely came into contact with his thigh, before falling on the seat where Long Haochen previously sat. Am I so scary? Yue Ye asked with hidden bitterness. Long Haochens face appeared colder, Your Highness, please conduct yourself with dignity. I believe that considering your position, finding a ce in Modu Core City for me to stay will not be hard for you. After having prepared the caravan, you may just send someone to notify me. Yue Ye wrinkled her brows and dered, You are really a rigid person, arent you?. Which side of mine cannotpare with that girl? Long Haochen indifferently replied, Delicious delicacies wont arouse the appetite of an already full stomach. A change suddenly appeared in Yue Yes eyes, Is that really so? But from what I know, all of you men, be it humans or demons, are in general greedy and never satisfied in this regard. My father has hundreds of concubines, with nock of humans among them, in addition to plenty of beautiful women from demon ns. And I heard that His Majesty the Demon God Emperor has over a thousand of them. Dont tell me you think they have still not eaten until they were full? After a little pause, Yue Ye gave him a provocative look, Or is it that you are no good in this regard? Unfortunately, she picked the wrong target for this provocation, and Long Haochen immediately looked distracted, No good in this regard? Which regard are you speaking of? Seeing his pure look, Yue Ye immediately felt embarrassed, and couldnt help but ask, How old are you this year? Although Long Haochen had an increasingly tall build and an progressively steady temperament, he was after all still young, and his face was still carrying traces of childishness . Im not telling you. A very hard rejection was given to her. Yue Ye replied with a humpf, Let it be then. Look at this thing, do you know what it is? As she said so, a radiance shed from her hand, and a one-third of a meter long metal stick appeared, which she passed to Long Haochen. Unconsciously Long Haochen stretched his hand and took it. The moment he touched the stick, the spiritual energy in his body appeared to be stirred up, and that little stick lightened up slightly before giving off a purple glint, condensing two digits in the air. Seeing those two digits, Long Haochen and Yue Ye were both startled. Fifteen. You fooled me! Long Haochen shouted furiously. Clearly, this little metallic stick was used to measure peoples age. He had been duped. Yue Ye sluggishly looked at him, You You are only fifteen Heavens! This cant be for real. Long Haochen snorted coldly, It will be in one month though, he grumbled. You fooled me Im confiscating this thing! As he said so, his chest released a golden glint, and the metallic stick was sucked in the Pendant of Eternity n a grandiose way. Hey! This thing was very expensive, and is quite rare at that! Yue Ye extended her hand, demanding it back. Long Haochen ignored her and turned back to the exit, I believe that considering your status, finding the ce where I will stay wont be hard. I will look for an inn by myself. Send me news as soon as you can, or dont me me for bing blunt. Since I darede, Im not afraid of any tricks you may have up your sleeves. He didnt want to keep being in tangle with that girl. Okay, okay. I will prepare a ce for you to stay. What if you get trapped when looking for a ce? Yue Ye said with hidden bitterness. After such a realization, she was currently incredibly shocked. Pertaining to Long Haochen, she had always felt very curious. She naturally could tell that Long Haochen was less than twenty, but she didnt expect him to be so young as fifteen. Humans and demons were different: demon powerhouses all had natural powerful abilities, though it would be very difficult for them to cultivate. Only a few powerful ns were rtively good at cultivating, but aside from them, even a demon god would find it hard to improve his cultivation. But humans were different: humans didnt possess the same kind of innate ability, but their postnatal growth capability was boundless. Although it was influenced by their innate talent, their creativity and growth, it was still something demons couldntpare to. Otherwise, how could humanity havested for so long against the continuous attacks of the demon armies without falling? Reaching the fifth step at fifteen years old C Yue Ye had never heard of such a feat till this day. Furthermore, Long Haochen was already the captain of his own Demon Hunt Squad. Given Yue Yes intelligence, she could tell that given Long Haochens age and ability, his innate talent ought to reach the most supreme peak attainable by humans. If enough time was given to allow him to grow, he was bound to be a great threat to the demons side. However, there was one bit where she didnt deceive Long Haochen, regarding her personal inclination. Regardless of whichever side C demon or human, she didnt have any preference. To her, profit and strength were the most important things. Thus, although she discovered Long Haochens terrifying potential, it didnt cause her a troubled mind. She only secretly determined that this was all the more of a reason for her to make good friends with this little guy. At this very moment, a maid suddenly came in haste, Your Highness, the Demon God Emperor hase. He wants everyone in the inner quarters to go out to meet him. What? Yue Ye was shocked, and her expression changed greatly. Long Haochen was even more stressed, and unconsciously clenched both his fists. Please go down first. I have to change clothes. After being briefly shaken, Yue Ye waved her hand, ordering the maid to retire. Chapter 263 - The Stunning Maid (II)

Chapter 263: The Stunning Maid (II)

What should we do? Long Haochen calmly asked Yue Ye. After this shock, he didnt be nervous in at all because he felt that his connection with Haoyue was in no way affected, making him able to leave at any time. Instead, he wanted to see what reaction this princess Yue Ye would show in this kind of situation. From this fact, the sincerity of the coboration between them would be seen. Yue Ye rapidly replied, The Demon God Emperor alwayses to see my father when it is rted to some important matters. He attaches great importance to his own security, and thus, willmand everyone to greet him everytime hees in the inner part of the castle, using a secret technique enabling ck Dragons to scout through every living aura in a given area. If someone hid himself, it would very possibly be an assassin. Before his Majesty the Demon God Emperor departs, everyone will be restricted to a certain area. Long Haochen indifferently asked, Thats to say, I have to appear in front of the Demon God Emperor? Yue Ye forced a bitter smile, Im afraid that is unavoidable. I didnt expect that His Majesty woulde at such a time. Now, it wont be possible for you to go out since the Moon Castles surroundings have already been sealed up. And here, we only have maids, and no males. Since youll have toe out with me, it will definitely arouse suspicions. What should we do What should we do Even given her intelligence, she clearly appeared to be in a fric state. And it was not surprising: if she let the Demon God Emperor know that she had some rtionship with a human Demon Hunt Squad, even her own father the Moon Demon God wouldnt be able to defend her. The Demon God Emperor loathed the Demon Hunt Squads of the Temple Alliance the most. Suddenly, as she raised her head to take a look at Long Haochen, Yue Yes eyes suddenly shone, I have a solution! However, I will have to cause Captain Long to feel kind of wronged. Long Haochen appeared puzzled and asked, What is it that came to your mind? Yue Ye rushed to his side, saying a few sentences in a low voice, but Long Haochens expression immediately became unsightly, resolutely refusing, No, this is definitely out of the question! Yue Yes eyes immediately appeared to be red, and on the verge of begging, she dered, If we dont do this, in case this gets discovered, Im screwed. Although I am a few years older than you, Im still under twenty. Would you really have the heart to see me being buried by your side? I havent even ever gotten a boyfriend yet. For gods sake, please do it, okay?! It will just give you a bit of grievance. You will be free of it after the Demon God Emperor leaves. You Looking at her face, Long Haochen thought deep inside that this princess Yue Ye seemed to really show some sincerity. Although she really came up with a rotten idea, it was still something greatly feasible. Furthermore if he teleported back at such time, he would need at least one or two days of rush to hurry back, and at this time, maybe there would be some kind of disadvantageous change. Hurry up! We cant tarry, my life is in your hands right now. Dont tell me you still dont trust me? Yue Ye was really anxious, her eyes thoroughly red, tears were on the verge of dripping from them. Long Haochens eyebrows werepletely wrinkled, but he still looked at her with force. The gate of the Moon Castle Pce opened, the Moon Demon God Agares led a group of noblemen from the Moon n, while everyone in the Moon Castle Pce, including the maids, was gathered, whereas the servants rapidly concentrated in the za in the center. The Moon Demon God Agares was about two meters tall, d in a purple gown, his hair tied using a headband and draping over his shoulder to his back. His facial appearance made him appear just like a maning out of a picture. In his pair of purple eyes, a dark golden radiance was embedded, and on his forehead, the faint trace of a bent moon was visible. In terms of appearance, Agares was the most beautiful man existing, even superior to the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu in this aspect. Though, their mannerisms could bepared. Standing right there, he very naturally became the center of the whole za: everyone elses radiance was concealed by him. Among demons, the Demon God Emperor was the so called emperor, and under him, only two lords could im the title of king. One was the Moon Demon God Agares, and the other was the Demon Prophet, who greatly exceeded anyone else in the entire demon race in regards to prediction, the Star Demon God Washake. Agares was apanied by a calm-looking girl standing at his side. With her slender figure that could be called perfect, she didnt wear any makeup, giving off a feeling of fresh, pure and almost transcendent beauty. The most astonishing was that she had a pair of ck eyes simr to humans. Without a doubt, she was the most beautiful girl out there, and the only one that could be said to match the Moon Demon God Agares. At Agares back stood a dozen people. The nearest were four middle-aged men, all of them were handsome men like one exists among ten thousand, who were the four so called Great Moon Emperors, the most trusted aides of the Moon Demon God Agares, serving him as his left and right arms. Behind them were a dozen middle-aged men of the Moon n, who gave off a dense and powerful aura from their bodies. Behind them was a group of girls that had stunning appearances. One of these girls was the princess Yue Ye. She led a group of maids, among whom the nearest to her was lowering her head. Her long ck hair was spilling to the front and covered all over her shoulders, causing her facial appearance to be indiscernible from afar. Yue Yes expression was currently quite grotesque, resisting to look at her side with great difficulty, and softly using her hands to toy with her own clothing. Visibly, she hardly managed to keep herself calm. Thats right, she couldnt calm down. At that moment, her feeling of self-confidence was being shattered imensurably. To a girl, more specifically a stunning woman like her, the greatest pride did absolutely not lie in her strength or her spiritual energy, especially in a group so attached to appearances as the Demon n. Physical appearance would forever remain their first criteria. It was especially the case for the concubine at the Moon Demon Gods side, who turned out to be a human female. By relying on her physical appearance, she had conquered all her Moon nsmen; that person was Yue Yes mother. Although her daughter couldnt seed the throne of the Moon Demon God ˹, so long as she remained as a princess, no one would strip her from her honorable position. However, a few minutes earlier, Yue Yes self confidence regarding her physical appearance had just crumbled. As the Moon ns princess, the chambeins at Yue Yes side were all female. If a male would have stood by her side, it would undoubtedly look odd. Thus, with a divine sh, the solution she thought about was to have Long Haochen crossdress using makeup, costume and have him act as her maid. Long Haochen was still a youth, and his body was far from having fully grown yet. Further adding the absolute perfection of his physique, it wasnt tooplicated to dress him up like a girl. This was also why Long Haochen was previously unwilling to agree. Although they came to apromise, he still felt really unwilling. The changes Yue Ye made on Long Haochen were simple: she changed his clothes to a maid attire, hid his Adams apple with careful attention, before using makeup on his eyebrows and face, giving him a gentle and feminine look. Completing this whole process only took her a few minutes and no more. However, at the time she finished, the first person to be shocked was the creator, Yue Ye herself. Too beautiful, just too beautiful!?In Yue Yes heart, the most beautiful girl aside from herself could only be her own mother. Because of her young age, the graceful temperament she inherited from her mother, and her appeal to other people, she was nothing more but a bargaining chip. However, after finishing to put makeup on Long Haochens face, this self-confidence she had crumbled entirely when he slowly raised his head. She couldnt even use the word beautiful to describe Long Haochens appearance. A tender white skin, a well featured nose, limpid and pure eyes. Each line of this face was exquisite and delicate, carrying no w at all. When this was all put together it produced an absolutely sublime result. That was perfection! His current appearance could only be described as perfect. Although he only wore maid attire, even the most gorgeous gems in this inner ce would lose its gloss next to him. Yue Ye believed that if Long Haochen removed his magical eyes, exposing his original pair of golden-colored eyes, it would definitely give him an imposing look, carrying the beauty of the sun descending to Earth. Long Haochen didnt really feel the changes on his body, only feeling unwell at wearing female attire. It was fortunate that it only took a little while, and all he did since then was to blindly follow Yues lead. Yue Ye fiddled with her own clothes, feeling extremely disturbed. She already started to regret her idea, and had repeatedly warned Long Haochen not to raise his head no matter what. If such a beauty, which already surpassed her own mothers, was caught by another nobleman from the Moon n, it would cause greatplications. Even her own father wouldnt let him off. Thinking of this point, Yue Ye couldnt help but have a grotesque expression. Had she known earlier, she would rather have had him pass for a male with an identity as Moon n viscount. To speak frankly, it was a wonder if he wasnt actually a girl disguising herself as a male Respects to His Majesty! In the midst of a high-pitched call, the whole Moon Pce zapletely quieted down. Although Long Haochen lowered his head, he still sensed the distinct oppressive force that filled the air. How could he not be nervous? Two formidable demon gods were present! For either of them, a mere finger would be enough to easily crush him with his current level of cultivation. However, he didntply absolutely to Yue Yes repeated warnings, and secretly observed these people from the Moon n standing in front of him. Although he merely shot a nce, it was enough for him to remember a lot with his astonishing memory. Those were the enemies he would face in the future. His current priority was at least to remember their identities, so that he could stay calm when confronting them in the future. Long Haochen was especially careful to keep the appearance of the Moon Demon God Agares in his mind. Footsteps sounded, and from listening to them, he already determined the identity of the one who was approaching. Agares wees Your Altess. The Moon Demon God Agares bowed before him, before everyone at his back bowed as well. This was the most noble ce belonging to the Moon n, but just like anyone else in the demon territory, they had to pay respect to the Demon God Emperor. Chapter 264 - The Stunning Maid (III)

Chapter 264: The Stunning Maid (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu could be said to be d in simple attire. Behind him, only four middle-aged people d in ck gowns were following him; he didnt have any excessive guard. Of course, these were only the people that entered the pce. The amount of guards standing outside was only known to the emperor himself. Today, the Demon God Emperor didnt show his tyrannical strength as back at the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Only d in a simple ck gown, he didnt even emanate his mighty aura, giving him the look of an ordinary handsome middle-aged man. Lifting his hand, he stooped on the kneeling Moon Demon God Agares, Worthy little brother, is there any need to be so formal between the two of us? Agares revealed a smile, Rtionships aside, etiquette cannot be ignored. Your Majesty, please. Deep inside, his current thought was more like If I did not put on a formal disy, would you really not care about it? Of course, this was no more but unspoken criticism. Even with his position as the second Demon God, he wasnt so different to any other Demon Gods in front of the Demon God Emperor. The supreme position of the Demon God Emperor wasnt something he could lightly contest with, so he naturally didnt show any dismissive behaviour in front of him. The Demon God Emperor nodded, before starting to follow Agares into his pce. Right at that time, the Demon God Emperor suddenly came to a stop, looking in another direction. This seemed like an unimportant look, but even with the Demon God Emperors position and cultivation, his look was filled with unconcealed disbelief. This reaction simply astonished the Moon Demon God Agares, who immediately followed the emperors gaze in the same direction, and this was exactly the direction where his dearly beloved daughter Yue Ye stood. Your Majesty you Agares felt quite nervous, but was really unwilling for His Majesty to harbour any desire towards his own beloved daughter. For a long time now, although the Demon God Emperor was a very powerful existence, he was still very considerate to his subordinates, and wouldnt do something that harmed their feelings. But on the other hand, if the Demon God Emperor had thoughts towards his daughter, how could Agares stop him? The Demon God Emperor shook his head, Its nothing, lets go. As he was done, he mumbled to himself a few words, but with his incredible hearing, Agares faintly heard that the Demon God Emperor seemed to have said, They look so alike. Agares was startled, scarcely realizing that at that time, someone else was already extremely nervous. When the Demon God Emperors eyes nced over in her direction, Yue Ye felt as if her own blood was freezing. Grasping her skirt firmly, her body was as stiff as a board, and she didnt dare to move in the slightest, inwardly yelling madly: Its over, everything is over As the involved party, she naturally felt that the Demon God Emperors nce wasnt directed at her, but at Long Haochen who stood at her side. Just at that time, when the Demon God Emperor went in, Long Haochen couldnt help but raise his head, and with this single motion, attracted the Demon God Emperors attention, who nced right at Long Haochens face for a very short moment. Long Haochen felt exactly the same as Yue Ye: his brain suddenly went nk. The instant the Demon God Emperors look crossed with his own, he immediately felt a terrifying energy locking up on his body, isting itpletely from the outside world. That was to say, right at that moment, even if he wanted to transport himself back through the contract with Haoyue, he was unable to do so. Long Haochen felt regret; he shouldnt have raised his head to see the Demon God Emperor. He also believed that given the Demon God Emperors cultivation, he would definitely find out about the attribute of the internal spiritual energy in his body. _Can it be That I am going to die here?_ However, the following turn of events waspletely out of his grasp. The Demon God Emperor suddenly left with the Moon Demon God Agares, entering in the inner pce. And he didnt made any more attention, the same went for his subordinates. Why did he let me off? Hasnt he discovered my light attribute? With his cultivation level? Thats impossible. Long Haochen was filled with doubts, but at the same time was rejoicing. He narrowly resisted the urge to teleport back, and finally controlled himself. If he left like this before so many people, how could Yue Ye exin herself before her nsmen? The Demon God Emperor finally disappeared from everyones line of sight, followed by the Moon Demon God, and at that time, everyone of the Moon n stood up. During this time, a cold little hand was stretched at the side of Long Haochens waist, pinching his skin and forcefully turning him around. Long Haochen felt in pain as his body was forcefully moved, but extraordinarily didnt show any resistance. He truly felt ashamed! If not for the fact the Demon God Emperor was absent-minded for some reason, Yue Ye and himself would have been done for. Im sorry Long Haochen lowered his voice and said this. Yue Ye ignored him, still putting on an unsightly expression. Herpel was already drenched in sweat, to the extent that she simply felt as though she was about to copse after seeing her father leave, almost falling to the ground. She understood the Demon God Emperors tricks a lot better than Long Haochen, and was thus put at the peak of despair. But after this despair lessened, her body was filled with twopletely different feelings: emptiness and an upsurge of relief. Her tormented face was visibly abnormally pale. By chance, no one paid attention to her as everyones attention was still on the Demon God Emperor. Moon Pce C main hall. The Moon Demon God invited the Demon God Emperor to sit down. Your Majesty, how is it that you bothered yourself toe personally? If you called, I would have been by your side in an instant. Agares said with a smile. Fengxiu waved his hand, and his four subordinates as well as the Moon God Agares aides retreated, leaving only these two left in the main hall. From this simple detail, it could be seen how terrifying Fengxius position was. Even the Moon Demon Gods nsmen didnt dare to go against his orders. Now that there are no more outsiders, we brothers shouldnt have to put on such a front. I came to look for you, first because of some important matters, and also to see you. We good brothers havent seen each other for quite a while, since we are usually busy with all sorts of affairs. Follow me back in a moment; how about drinking to our fill tonight? I still want to have a few cups of the good human wine your daughter Yue Ye brought back for us. Agares smiled, It will be my pleasure. I havent been drinking at brothers ce for quite a while. You wouldnt guess, this girl Yue Ye didnt leave much of this wine to me, sending the lions share of it to your ce. You dont know how jealous I am as a father. Fengxiu smiled back to him, What is there to be jealous of? If you wanted to drink, you could juste and look for me. Only third brother and you can call me boss like this, you know? Dont tell me there could be anything in the way of the rtionship between us three brothers? Agares sighed silently, Third brother, this fellow, he seems to be deeply focused on some divination. I went twice to look for him, but he had kept his door locked on both asions. Hearing Agares words, Fengxius face seemed to look a bit hesitant, This period of seclusion of third brother is indeed quite long. As our great prophet that he is, he surely ran into some inconvenience. This cannot be a good thing, I really hope he wont be back with too many bad news. Agares answered with a little disapproval, What bad news could he bring? About humans? Although they raised their strength a bit over these years, they have never dared toe out of their shell. If not for the fact that boss was making use of them, with a single action from our side, could humans really have the power to resist? Fengxiu nodded but still said, Second brother, you cant be too narrow-minded. After all, humans have already been reproducing and living in the continent for thousands of years. If we really went all out to handle them, the final result would possibly be disastrous for both sides. Although our odds of victory are higher, this fric situation would unavoidably arouse other parties attention. At that time, how would our both injured sides be able to respond? Although we have never regarded humans as important threats, we cannot act blindly without thinking. The time hasnte yet. After a short time of silence, Agares asked Fengxiu, Boss, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but what is this time you are waiting for? Why are we waiting tounch an all out attack against the humans? We cant let them develop like this! We cannot look down on the human potential you know! Fengxiu gave him a leisured look, The timing will depend on ourselves. Id rather want our kin to acknowledge humans existence, and to view them as a part of our own race. That would be the good timing to act against the Temple Alliance. What I want isnt to destroy it, but to assimte it. Else, we will be left without way to grow. The human potential is something we need. Agares was startled, Boss, are you saying that we shouldpletely acknowledge and ept humans? Fengxiu nodded, Humans are superior to us in many different aspects, and they have very deep roots on the continent. Last few years, each of my decrees was aiming for an assimtion of humanity. First, wed aim for assimting the humans in our own territory in this regard, before expanding slowly. And one day, we will make all humans be a part of our own strength. This will definitely make our demon race stronger. My aims are not limited to this world, but Id wish to aplish my deceased grandfathers ambition to start a war for the conquest of other nes. Second brother, how about letting your title of Demon God be passed on to Yue Ye? Letting her inherit you. Feng Xiu suddenly remarked. Agares face greatly lost color, Boss, how can we Our kin will definitely not ept this. Fengxiu indifferently replied, As long as you have my backing, who would dare cause trouble over this? Since we are nning to thoroughly assimte with humans, we must be the ones to take the initiative. You shouldnt mind the fact this kid Yue Yes progress speed is rather slow: as long as she manages to gain the ability to seed you, her future growth is bound to even surpass yours. This is the superiority of the human potential. Thinking about this nce the Demon God Emperor gave Yue Ye, Agares couldnt help but feel cautious. _Could it be that His Majesty is nning to dominate our Moon n? This cant be! With his strength, theres no need for him to do this. Most of all, the Devil Dragon n has this policy of keeping their lineage pure_ A change appeared on Fengxius expression as he continued, Im just speaking without deep intentions. I let you think about it, and I will be respecting your opinion. If you dont want to, just let it be. Plus, youre still young, and we shouldnt rush this matter. Chapter 265 - Return? Mission Complete? (I)

Chapter 265: Return? Mission Complete? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Mh. Agares naturally didnt answer immediately, only making an ambiguous sound. As promised, Fengxiu changed the subject, This time, theres another reason why I had to look for you. Do you know what the Fiends discovered in the Deste Hissing Cavern? Agares looked up, I heard a bit about this affair, but the cavern is in the Fiend Territory, which is why I couldnt investigate it thoroughly. Fengxiu disdainfully dered, Sami Keane is really an idiot. He lost manpower numbering over a hundred, but still wanted to keep all the information to himself, trying to stay low-key on the matter. Does he really think he will be able to conceal everything from me this way? Agares muttered, asking irresolutely, Boss, do you think I should get involved in this? Fengxiu shook his head and replied, Theres no need. After hearing about it, I used my mental energy to examine the area around the Deste Hissing Cavern and didnt discover anything, so there should be nothing valuable. Sami Keane is just looking for his own disgrace. As for his subordinates, they werent necessarily lost in the cavern. Maybe they ran into a human Demon Hunt Squad. Hearing those three words, Agaresplexion immediately became unsightly. All the Demon Gods loathed Demon Hunt Squads, these unpredictable human powerhouses were a great enemy that could attack at any time. Agares alone had already been targeted by Demon Hunt Squads over ten times, and had once even been heavily injured. Fengxiu wrinkled his brows, This matter isnt up to much, but recently, I felt that guys presence. Agares was shaken by these words, That guy? The one you mentionedst time..? Fengxiu nodded, The heavenly cmity When the fifty second ranked Allocer previously reported it to me, I personally went to the Exorcist Mountain Pass to verify his presence, but could not find him. However, I felt his presence for real this time. Although it was in a weak state, that auras purity couldnt be faked. The heavenly cmity very possibly really arrived in this world. Its just that we cant tell where he is right now.. Agares took a deep breath, Boss, you cannot let the heavenly cmity regain his strength no matter what, otherwise, this will be a disaster for us! In those years, our ancestors united with each other to seal him with difficulty, but it seemed that he still overcame the seal, forcing us to open a space rift to flee in this world. After such an all-out battle, shouldnt the heavenly cmity be already dead? How can he Fengxiu shook his head, You dont know theplete truth on this matter. In those years, the situation was trulyplicated, but we werent the ones that had opened a space rift. Back then, our elders cultivation level was far from being high enough. Only the heavenly cmity could have created the space rift. As for the detailed course of events, its better that you dont learn about it. Agares gazed up, Boss, speak up. If theres anything you want me to do, I willply without hesitation. Fengxiu replied, Dispatch all the powerhouses of your n: we willunch an operation that will seemingly aim at the annihting the human Demon Hunt Squads, but in truth, well be looking for the heavenly cmity. Hes still in a weak state, but nevertheless, it wont be easy to handle him. In case you discover something, dont act blindly without thinking: Ill have to be the one to intervene personally, if we want a chance to destroy himpletely. Youll have to keep these matters secret; aside from us three brothers, you cant tell anyone, not even Sami Keane. This will avoid the rise of a panic among our underlings. Yes. Fengxiu stood up, Butter is soon enough. Lets have a drink first. Youll have to rx before you act. Agares smiled bitterly, Lets forget about it for the time being. Hearing about the heavenly cmity, I feel uneasy and nervous. I should arrange this matter to be handled first. Boss, tell me all you know about his possible whereabouts. Fengxiu nodded, At the time I felt his aura, he was close to the Deste Hissing Cavern, but right afterwards hepletely disappeared once again. Its as if he had never appeared there. We only have this much information right now. Command our intelligence to look through it; I leave these matters to you. Within three months time, I want a report from you. I will do my best. Fengxiu gave him a cold nce, You cannot only do your best, but you have to seed no matter what. This is a question of life and death. Although we have yet to meet the real heavenly cmity, he will possibly be able to put us in the same desperate situation as back in the past. That is how terrible this enemy is. The waiting time truly felt exhausting for Long Haochen. Lowering his head, he felt extremely ufortable. When the Demon God Emperor finally left, he luckily didnt feel his terrible nce on him again. The powerhouses of the Moon n standing in the front were called by Agares from the main hall, and he finally followed Yue Ye back to her pce quietly. The two of them entered her pce, and Yue Ye had the maids retire, feeling just like Long Haochen, close to the verge of copsing. The mental pressure on her was just too great. You know, right now, I really want to kill you. Yue Ye resentfully dered. Long Haochen smiled bitterly, Im in the wrong, I shouldnt have raised my head. I didnt expect the Demon God Emperors mental energy to be so sharp. You didnt expect? Yue Ye suddenly raised her voice, Do you know that these few words narrowly costed me my life. Okay, hurry up and leave now, head to the address I indicated to you previously. Ill prepare everything for you to leave as soon as possible. Mh, then Im leaving. Long Haochen changed clothes from his maid attire, rapidly recovering his original appearance. After apologizing to Yue Ye once again, he made haste to leave. Watching his leaving figure, Yue Ye finally loosened her breath, but her expression was still the same, as she was in a state of deep pondering. His Majesty should have discovered him. But, why didnt he intervene? Dont tell me he wanted to give Father some face? But that waspletely unnecessary! Maybe it was because of the danger the presence of Long Haochens group posed for Yue Yes safety, but it only took two days before Yue Yes message arrived. The caravan had been summoned, and would set off to the Alliance two dayster. She had Long Haochen make his preparations. After having experienced many unpredictable dangers, the goddess of luck was finally on the side of Long Haochens group. The Demon God Emperor had given the order to search the whole demon territory to the Moon Demon God Agares, and not someone like the Demon God of Death Saminaga. Under such circumstances, who would dare inspect the caravan belonging to Agares dearly beloved daughter? Moreover, the Yue Ye merchant caravan had just experienced a tragedy a short time ago in the Nareiks Province, causing the Demon God Emperors wrath. After having punished the Nareiks Province for this long ago, he even had them make amends for the damage sustained by the Yue Ye Merchant Group. Due to all those lucky circumstances, Long Haochen managed to return to the Temple Alliance without a hitch despite the demons inspecting the whole territory in search for the heavenly cmity. Yue Ye didnt apany the caravan. She only arranged for a time and ce with Long Haochen, where they could conveniently meet, for Caier to suppress the restriction on her. After following the Yue Ye Merchant Group to the southeast fort, the two Demon Hunt Squads didnt dawdle along, but directly passed the fort under Long Haochens lead. Having arrived in the nearby Starseeker City, they settled into the rented inn rooms and were finally able to rx for the time being. Since they safely entered the human territory, they decided that they might as well stay at Starseeker City for the time being, enjoying three days of lethargic sleep. They were not only physically tired, but also felt emotionally and mentally exhausted. Ever since they left the Temple Alliance to begin this mission, their mind had always been under great stress. Enduring experiences of life and death one time after another, even though they couldnt ascertain that they had managed toplete the mission, had been a big burden on them. Only after returning to the Temple Alliance, could they for the first time enjoy a feeling of being at home. This was the first joint operation for both of the two Demon Hunt Squads, and they were far from being used to such a life of danger. Thus, this current period of rxation was something they really needed. After enjoying three days of rest, everyone recovered from their mental stress, and they set out once again, heading directly to Holy City. The two teams needed rest and reorganization. Though they didntpletely aplish the mission, their gains were plentiful. Be it regarding their own cultivation, the increase of their strength or the gain of experience, they had benefitted like never before. On the return trip, they made use of a rental cart. It moved very slowly, and it took them no less than fifteen days to return to Holy City. These fifteen days were the ideal time to recap the experiences and harvests they gained from the mission. After adding up all of hisrades contribution points, Long Haochen discovered with shock that the total amount of contribution points they had gained from the mission reached up to 20,000. This was a number they had never expected. Admittedly, the fact that they reaped this amount, relying solely on massacring demons, was actually more idental than anything else. But still, it was mainly because of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squads lead that they gathered such an amount. Actually, seeing the number of powerhouses of the sixth and the seventh step that died at their hands, a low final amount of contribution points would be the really odd oue. The 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads contribution points were far from this amount, but by counting in the contribution points they had gathered from the period of testing, their current amount of contribution points reached 10,000. Long Haochen didnt conceal the benefits of raising their grade to the general grade. After having gone through this experience, the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads strength progressed as a whole in the midst of deadly experiences. They already decided that the first thing they would do upon returning was to raise the grade of their own squad. After discussing it, the seven members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad decided to stop their system of equal dividing. Going through this much experience, the trust existing between them had progressed to a great level. An equal splitting led to fairness, but restricted the teams growth at the same time. Thus, everyone decided to gather their contribution points at one tile, allocating them at the times and fields of need. This was clearly the most fitting decision for the teams development. At the time the two Demon Hunt Squads arrived at Holy City fifteen dayster, they had truly spent a long time away, and everyone was already on the verge of tears. As Long Haochen suggested, the two Demon Hunt Squads didnt return to their respective vis, but first headed for the Demon Hunt Mission Tower to give their report on the mission. Chapter 266 - Return? Mission Complete? (II)

Chapter 266: Return? Mission Complete? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales What? 200,000 contribution points?! Isnt there a mistake? When the group of thirteen heard the staff member, even the good tempered Long Haochen immediately cried out in surprise. Their expressions were iparably unsightly, whereas Long Haochen coldly stood there, looking at the staff member facing him, and dered in an extremely serious tone, I hope the Mission Tower can give us an exnation. Dont tell me that you didnt expect that such an irresponsible handling of missions would cost us our lives. Luc Xis expression was even more unsightly. pping the top of the sales counter, he dered loudly, Oh heavens. Bastards! Bunch of bastards! What a nonsensical mission. Is this how you are handling the distribution of our missions? What if we died at the hands of the demons?! If you dont have a good justification, I will never let you off. The staff member facing them was the same as the one who assigned Long Haochens group the mission to explore the Deste Hissing Cavern, but seeing thirteen young Demon Hunters in such a fric state, he immediately had a flustered reaction. Everyone please calm down. This missions rating was a mistake from us, and though it is our fault, there isnt anything we can do about this anymore. The Mission Tower is ready topensate you for this, and will hand over a reward of 20,000 contribution points even if you have failed. Unfortunately, this staff member had still looked down on these youths bearing. Chen Yinger replied with a cold smile, Do you think 20,000 contribution points would be enough to make us leave? You bunch of schemers. Captain, we shouldnt hand in our mission report now. Lets head to the Government Office. Ill look for my grandmother. Lin Xin, you too should look for your grandfather there. Long Haochen silently led the group to the exit, and the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad followed by habit. Under Luc Xis lead, they followed behind and left the Mission Tower. That staff members face was quite pale, What should we do? Things will get out of hand Although he wasnt directly responsible for the wrongbeling of the mission, he was the one who assigned the mission, and furthermore, after discovering the problems with it, he evaded responsibility and didnt report properly about his mistake. At that time, he believed that it was merely a newly-formed Demon Hunt Squad, which wouldnt respond excessively upon discovering a mistake in the missionsbeling. How could he know that this new Demon Hunt Squad could be called a bunch of little princes and princesses, who immediately reacted to this affront. Not daring to ck off any longer, the staff member hurriedly reported to his higher-ups. After exiting the Demon Hunt Squad Mission Tower, the cold wind sobered them up. Long Haochen looked at Caier who was lying in his arms and a surge of rage welled up in him. If not for the mistake with the missionsbeling, how would Caier be in such a state? This was definitely something he wouldnt let slip by. That he had a kind heart didnt mean that he was meek. On the contrary, Long Haochens character was not as upright and outspoken as his looks were good. As a captain, if he baulked at such matters, how could hemand his team in the future? Luc Xi went to Long Haochens side, Captain Long, what should we do now? Are you really nning to head to the Government Office? We are just two new Demon Hunt Squads, whereas the Mission Tower is the most importantponent of the Alliance. Im afraid the Alliance wont be inclined to hear us out. Long Haochen took a deep breath, The Alliance wont treat us that coldly. You may head back, Captain Luc. Leave this matter to us and we will notify you when we get news, how about it? Luc Xis expression changed, Captain Long, what do you say? Do you really think we n on cowering in front of the authorities after having risked our lives in the demon territory? Since we are seeking justice, we should do it as a team. After he said this, the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad immediately became excited. They were afraid of seeing Luc Xi cower right after the battle, which would just be a loss of face for them! Without those partners from the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, they wouldnt have made it back alive. Lets go then. Long Haochen waved his hand, leading the group of thirteen to the Alliances Government Office. In fact in this Holy City, the Government Office was the core element of the whole Alliances administration. Coming here to im justice was the same as giving a good p to the Mission Tower. It required courage not everyone would have. Although Long Haochen was furious, he was still sober-headed, and gave it a good thought before directly going to the Government Office. Aside from the Alliances Government Office, who else could be a match for the Demon Hunt Mission Tower? The majestic position of the tower wasnt something that could be easily shaken by this little group. The Alliances Government Office wasnt far from the Demon Hunt Mission Tower, and they quickly arrived at its entrance. In spite of her young age, Chen Yinger had the worst temperament at such times, Captain, how should we go about it? Long Haochen replied in a deep voice, We will be waiting in the entrance of the Government Office, until the Alliance make amends. What? Just that!? Chen Yinger looked unsatisfied. Wasnt this behaviour too passive? However, Long Haochen next motion shocked everyone else. This captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad immediately sat cross-legged in front of the entrance of the Alliances Government Office. Caier sat at hisp, safely held in his embrace. The location he chose was only three meters away from the gate of the office, and although he didnt block the entrance, this positioning could only be described as aggressive. At the entrance of the Alliances Government Office stood two guards, who looked stupefied at this scene. Seeing this group of youngsters sit down, they didnt believe their eyes. _So there actually exist people who would dare to protest at the gate of the Alliances Government Office? Have they taken the wrong medicine?_ Under the shocked gaze of the guards, the group of thirteen gathered in a row, almost blocking the entrance of the gate. What are you doing? The two guards asked aftering closer. Long Haochen raised his hand and showed them their Demon Hunt Squad insignia. The 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squades with sincerity, asking for an ount from the Alliance. Luc Xi also took out the insignia of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, and the two guards that were originally prepared to act immediately stopped in their tracks. Of course, they understood the importance Demon Hunt Squads possessed. Almost all the higher-ups of the Alliance had belonged to Demon Hunt Squads after all! For a moment, they really didnt dare act against these youths. The two of them looked at each other face to face, and a guard rushed out to confront them, knitting his brows and speaking to them, If you have something to say, then say it. Whats with the protest? Although he was only a guard, this one was over forty years-old, and when he spoke, he had a strong attitude. Unfortunately, his threat was almost nonexistent, and Long Haochens group of thirteen didnt pay any attention to him, not moving an inch from there. The Alliances Government Office being in the very middle of Holy City, Long Haochen and the others attracted all the surrounding gazes by performing such a stunt, but because of the Alliances prestige, no one dared toe too close. A short timeter, a ck silhouette rapidly rushed out from the Government Office, and the one who came was no one else but the Auxiliary Master of the Assassin Temple, Ying Suifeng. He happened to be there at the right timing, having just run into the guards, who hurriedly told him about the happenings at the entrance. Ying Suifeng wondered just who could that be so daring! To have enough guts to block that door, even if the Demon Hunt Squads had a prestigious position, it didnt mean that they could damage the Alliances face! Imagining this gave rise to concern, what kind of image would they have if every Demon Hunt Squad did a boycott at the Temple Alliances Government Offices entrance after the slightest grievance? What sort of scandal would that be? Thus, he was in an absolute rage when he came out. But he was immediately astonished upon seeing that those who were sitting at the doorway were precisely Long Haochen and Caier. Long Haochen, what are you doing here? Just what the hell? Stand up immediately! Ying Suifeng unhappily shouted at him. Long Haochen resolutely shook his head and replied, If the Alliance doesnt make amends, I wont move an inch. Bullshit, what do you want us to make amends for? Stand up and tell me clearly about it. Ying Suifeng looked furious, especially at seeing that this youngster came to cause trouble. They were a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad! It was clear that they were intentionally harming the Temple Alliances face. Ying Suifeng didnt know about those kids story, so he immediately felt furious. Nheless, he still didnt immediately pull Long Haochen up forcefully, since Caier was after all right nearby. Long Haochen said in a serious tone, Hall Master Ying, we wish for you to fully understand our situation beforeshing out at us. You have been Caiers guardian for a long time now, but do you know that if not for the extremely good luck we had, even she wouldnt have made it back alive to be sitting here? Hearing him say that, Ying Suifengs anger immediately puttered out, tensely wrinkling his brows, What happened? Luc Xis group also saw Ying Suifeng, and seeing how this Hall Master changed his speech upon hearing Long Haochens words, all of them couldnt help but loosen their breaths. Long Haochenposed himself with great difficulty, and told him calmly about everything that happened before. This time, Ying Suifengs expression changed greatly, Bastards, these bastards of the Mission Tower. After having done such a thing. Rest at ease, this matter will definitely be ounted for. I pledge you this on my name as the Assassin Temples Auxiliary Hall Master. Children, you should get up first. This is after all the entrance of the Government Office. Follow me in. Hearing Long Haochens words, Ying Suifengs back was drenched with sweat! The others didnt know anything, but how could it be the same for him? Although Long Haochens Demon Hunt Squad was leaps away from being called powerful, whatbination did they form? The grandeur of the Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara was sufficient to make this matter a huge scandal to their two Temples. Moreover, the others of their team werent easy to deal with either. Long Haochen silently nodded, holding Caier to help her stand up, Then I will be begging for your help, Hall Master Ying. Their protest at the entrance was only for the Government Office to pay attention to them, and not because they wanted to look for trouble here. Since Ying Suifeng already knew about them, he would naturally show consideration for them. Chapter 267 - Return! Mission Complete? (III)

Chapter 267: Return! Mission Complete? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Seeing Caiers sightless grey eyes, Ying Suifeng was enraged, ready to unleash his ming wrath. He ordered the nearby guard, Lead these children to the conference room. Its an order. Bring some food and drinks for them. Haochen, wait a bit, everything will be settled today. Having said this, Ying Suifeng went into the Government Office. The two guards looked at each other in dismay, filled with extreme confusion. Long Haochens group headed to the Conference Room to rest, but the whole Temple Alliance Government Office was greatly rmed. The first person Ying Suifeng looked for was Han Qian, who was in charge of daily government affairs. As soon as he told him about this, Han Qian immediately crushed his own desk with a p. Demon Hunt Squads were not directly controlled by the Temple Alliance. They were organized in what could be called a very developed system. The Demon Hunt Squads were responsible for themselves, and the Alliance wasnt supposed to rashly intervene in their daily affairs. The Mission Tower was the one directly responsible for the Demon Hunt Squads affairs. And the Mission Tower was led by Titled Demon Hunt Squads that would take turns in supervising it. But they were only leading it in name, after all, they also had their own missions. Thus, the real responsibility for the Demon Hunt Squads still lied in the hands of the Temple Alliances officers. After having such a furious reaction, Han Qian immediately gathered the four other Temples in the Government Office, and the six Hall Masters for a rendezvous. What? How could this happen? Grandma Sanshui also pped the desk and stood up, appearing on the verge of breaking into tears. The expression on the face of the Mage Temples Auxiliary Hall Master, Lin Chen, was also quite ugly, and his eyes had an ominous glint. The six Hall Masters were furious, this was simply too huge a mistake. And most of all, the Demon Hunt Squad that was involved was intimately rted to them. During their time of private discussion, it became clear that Long Haochens Demon Hunt Squad was simply the most important newbie squad in the whole history of Demon Hunt Squads. The Auxiliary Hall Master of the Warrior Temple, Ren Wokuang, had a frightening look, What the hell is this? If this affair was to spread out, how could the Demon Hunt Squads keep going on? Its especially the case for those high ranked Demon Hunt Squads that old geezers like us cannot afford to offend. If this matter isnt resolved correctly, it will cause great trouble. The Auxiliary Master of the Priest Temple, Ruoshui, nodded, But even so, we have to make the culprits ountable on behalf of these children. And this is a matter we have to handle with care. Han Qian calmly dered, Though Haochen is my little disciple, I should originally avoid the grievance on this matter. But Long Haochen is the future hope of our Knight Temple. If everyone agrees, we should just go to the Mission Tower together. Grandma Sanshui unhappily retorted, Avoid the issue? What farts! Chen Yinger is my grand-daughter, and Im not about to avoid the issue. Ill im justice no matter what. The Mission Tower should better be prepared for a big reorganization, and the responsible person will have to be punished severely no matter what. This isnt only a failure at doing their duty, but murder of After a short discussion, those six Auxiliary Hall Masters immediately agreed on how to react to the matter. As a result, the furious group headed to the Mission Tower. Long Haochens group still didnt know about what happened. At the time they had arrived at the Alliances Government Office, it was noon, but they waited for a whole afternoon in the little conference room. At night, the six Auxiliary Hall Masters appeared in front of them. Seeing those six Auxiliary Hall Masters, Long Haochens group immediately stood up. Han Qian waved his hand and was the one to speak, Okay, you can sit down. For what happened this time, the Alliance has to apologize to you. We would like to offer this apology in the name of the whole Alliance. After this was said, the six Auxiliary Hall Masters bowed down in the direction of the thirteen youths at the same time. Long Haochens group was immediately astonished, hastily offering their salute in return. The wrath in them was already greatly dissipated at this time. Didnt the six Auxiliary Hall Masters action already say a lot about the attitude of the Alliance on this matter? Since their most venerable elders took such a stance, what else could they say on the matter? Han Qian rose again, dering in a deep voice, The matter has already been investigated thoroughly. The me is on the Mission Towers staff members negligence, that hadnt checked the mission before release. Additionally, they didnt even report to their superiors after finding out about a mistake in the missionsbeling, allowing you to take a mission far exceeding your ability, and causing you to be in significant danger. The Alliance presents you a sincere apology, and will guarantee you that in the future, the same kind of situation wont happen ever again. The rted culprits have already been taken into custody, and will at least be incarcerated for ten years. The person directly responsible has been condemned to execution by hanging. The severity of this punishment far exceeded the expectations of Long Haochens group. This punishment was even too extreme to be only rted to the antecedents of the members of this royal group. Long Haochens group didnt have aplete understanding of how Demon Hunt Squads worked. They were only a general grade Demon Hunt Squad with not much influence, but put into simple words, king grade Demon Hunt Squads Demon Hunters were simply above any Auxiliary Hall Master belonging to the Temple Alliance in status. If Demon Hunters from an Emperor grade Demon Hunt Squads dissolved their team, they would at least have the rank of an Auxiliary Hall Master. The captain would even possibly immediately be the Hall Master. If this matter spread out, and the higher ranked Demon Hunt Squads learned of it, they would inevitably have no hesitation to stand on the side of Long Haochens group. At that time, the Alliance would be in even more disarray. Demon Hunters were after all heroes risking their lives for the sake of the Alliance. This was also the reason why the five other Auxiliary Hall Masters immediately came to an agreement with Han Qians decision concerning the punishment. The reason for this was simply that they couldnt disappoint their valiant heroes! Long Haochen took out the Recording Gem, handing it to Han Qian with a smile, Grandmaster, these are our results from the mission, please check them. We dont know whether wepleted this mission, but we did our utmost for that. Many thanks to the Alliance for upholding justice Han Qian took the gem, and said with a sigh, Children, you had it hard this time. Its fortunate that you came back alive, otherwise, those bastards from the Mission Tower would have been condemned to death by hundreds. I hope this matter wont leave a shadow in your hearts. You can feel relieved, you will have the reward you deserve entirely. After checking the record, we will give you an urate answer as soon as possible. You must be very tired after this mission, go back now and rest. Yes, grandmaster. The two Demon Hunt Squads left satisfied. Before leaving the conference room, Han Qian warned them that he hoped this matter wouldnt be spread. Long Haochen immediately agreed on behalf of the two Demon Hunt Squads. The Alliance handled this matter with swift indictment because, they didnt want its daily functions to be affected, leading to a crisis of trust between the Demon Hunt Squads and itself. Having left the Government Office, the thirteen simultaneously came to a stop. Luc Xi said with a sigh, I really didnt expect us to seed so easily. Long Haochen replied, What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. This wasnt a sess from our side, but a proper decision from the Alliance. Lets go and have a good rest. For this mission, our reward of contribution points will at least be no lower than 20,000 contribution points. After we receive them, I will give you your share. Luc Xi gave Long Haochen a deep nce, but didnt object this time, only nodding silently. After having interacted closely with Long Haochen during this mission, he already had a good understanding of his character. He knew that Long Haochen was an extremely sincere person. Having finally returned to the vi after a long time, everyone retreated to their respective rooms. It could be said that in the History of the Demon Hunt Squads, never before had a first mission beenpleted with such great difficulty. In fact, in the process of the entire mission, they even faced enemies at the seventh step! And no one amongst them was even at the sixth step yet. The fact that they made it back alive could already only be called a miracle. Standing on the vis balcony, Long Haochen made Caier rest against his own chest. Feeling the fresh air brought by the nearby vegetation, he finally felt a lot more calm. They had finallye back, but Caier would still need six months to recover. Tightening his grip on her hand and softly grabbing it, he wrote on her palm the little message, Its so great that we made it back alive. On the morning of the next day, the Alliances Government Office dispatched a message, and Han Qian weed Long Haochen in his office. Haochen, sit down. Han Qian looked at his own grand-disciple that gave him a respectful salute after entering the office, and exposed a tired-looking smile. Because of yesterdays matters, he hadnt gotten any sleep at allst night. Grandmaster, is teacher okay? Long Haochen sat on the chair in front of Han Qians new desk and asked. Han Qian replied, Hes very well. His cultivation speed is very fast, I already sent him to the Knight Temple. Stopping for a bit, Han Qian seriously dered, Haochen, from the record you brought back for me to see, I have a few questions. Tell me about the details regarding that tower. They are of utter importance to the Alliance. Long Haochen felt shaken. He had previously guessed why Han Qian looked for him, but having to tell a lie to his own grandmaster felt really bad. When I came back to my senses, that tower had already disappeared. The hissing sounds couldnt be heard again afterwards. Grandmaster, what is it? Han Qian wrinkled his brows, pacing back and forth in front of his work desk, Now is not a good time to determine it, but from the specters that appeared in your records, this is very possibly rted to the necromancers that appeared ten thousand years ago. If what you saw were vestiges of the necromancers, we can definitely not let demons get them. Long Haochen stood up, asking earnestly, Grandmaster, do you need me to do something? Han Qian shook his head, Lets end it here about this matter. After you head back, tell your group not to divulge anything about this mission, so as to avoid needless trouble. Yes. Long Haochen had some hesitation, but still asked, Then grandmaster, can we be considered to havepleted the mission? Han Qian gave him a nce and suddenly revealed a smile, It seems that you are looking at least a little like a captain now. Be at ease. When people from the Mission Tower will look for you tomorrow, you will have to keep your mouth sealed. This reward should make up enough for your trouble. Many thanks, grandmaster! Hearing this, Long Haochen immediately felt a lot better. Like Han Qian guaranteed, this times rewards wouldnt be only 20,000 contribution points but a lot more. He estimated it to be at least 50,000 points. People from the Mission Tower really came the day after, but what they told them waspletely different from what Long Haochen had expected. This was because they brought Long Haochen the news that the mission had beenpleted. Therefore, they received the reward of the mission after it had been upgraded to kings grade After getting this news, everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad was ted. We are rich Lin Xins ghost-like voice resounded in the whole vi. Chapter 268 - Lin Xin’s Counterattack! (I)

Chapter 268: Lin Xins Counterattack! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales When Luc Xi led everyone from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad to the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squads vi, the six peoples eyes almost turned red. It was for a simple reason: Long Haochen had Han Yu invite them here, only saying that the mission was over and it was time to divide the contribution points. The mission waspleted! Hearing these words, Li Xin, Luc Xi, Dian Yan, Yi Jun, Bai Xiaomo and Han Daosi all had dumbstruck looks. Luc Xi swallowed a gulp of saliva, as if he was afraid of seeing his own saliva dripping on Han Yu, Is it 20,000 or 200,000? Han Yus reply was all the more shocking, 200 Therefore by the time Luc Xis group of six arrived at 21st Demon Hunt Squads vi, their eyes were just as red as at the time they went off to hunt demons. At the time they entered in the vi, the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were all present except Caier and Long Haochen. They looked even more avaricious than Luc Xis group. It was especially the case for Lin Xin, who was lying on the sofa, fiddling with a something resembling a n, and toying with his own hair, asionally letting a drip of sparkling liquid drip out from his mouth. Hello everyone, where is Captain Long? Luc Xi once again swallowed his own saliva. He really wanted to give himself a p. The profits were too enticing for him. 30% amount of 200,000 contribution points represented 60,000 contribution points! What did it mean? It mean that everyone would be able to get the medicine that can be taken only once to gain a thousand spiritual energy. This also meant that they would be able to undertake harder missions. This was an amount they would perhaps even be unable to earn over a period of one or two whole years. This also implied that they could take a firm step in thepetition between their generations ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads, making them only second to the 21st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, and freeing them from the worries of having others catch up to them. No one could stay calm. Boss went to recover the contribution points. He should be back soon. Please sit for now. My hands are still trembling, so Ill be unable to serve you water though. said Sima Xian with a dry look. Honestly speaking, the members from the 21st Demon Hunt Squad felt somewhat unwilling to share the 60,000 contribution points. But Long Haochen told them resolutely that unfaithful people couldnt seed. Although they shouldered majority of the burden of this mission, if not for the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads assistance, they couldnt possibly have made it back safe and sound. Long Haochen relied on the whole teams ability, leading it perfectly, so no one would retort to what he had decided. Captain Luc, you came. Hearing this voice sounding from behind, Luc Xi quickly turned behind, seeing Long Haochen carry Caier on her waist, his limpid golden eyes were shining in a me of excitement. Captain Long. Calling out these two words, Luc Xi suddenly felt as if his own throat was unable to speak any further. Long Haochen chuckled, Its alright, dont say more. Im giving you your share of contribution points first; this will save me from regrets. Come on! As he said so, he pulled the left sleeves on his clothing. Under the attentive watch of the other ten members of their two Demon Hunt Squads, Luc Xi walked with trembling legs towards Long Haochen. Unable to control his tears from flowing, he dered, Haochen, I wont say much, but if you have any need for us in the future, our 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads six lives are all yours. Pulling his left arm, Long Haochenpleted the exchange of contribution points between the two of them, We arerades, fellow soldiers. However, after such an unreasonable mission, I really dont dare keep going for the moment. The contribution points were sessfully transmitted, and the amount of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads contribution points were immediately increased by 60,000. Luc Xi wiped away his tears with the sleeves of his garment, Haochen, how about both the teams having a look at the transaction center together. On the first and the second floor, we can be called rich people without a doubt right? Long Haochen smiled to him, Okay. We also have some things we need to buy. And we could also sell our useless stuff at the same time. Right at this time, a strange voice could be heard, Please wait a bit, I have something to say. This sudden talk was initiated by Lin Xin, who had always been keeping his head lowered. Slowly getting up, he used the sleeves of his garment to wipe off the saliva around his mouth before hanging down his dark green hair with his two hands, letting ite down on his back. His steps sounded heavy, and his face appeared to be serious like never before, though carrying a bit of grief. Everyone looked at him simultaneously; as he did this without any omen, no one knew what he was up to, only, looking at his face, it was definitely something important. Lin Xin walked until he was in front of Li Xin, before finally stopping, but Long Haochen was the one he looked at. Lin Xin, what happened to you? Long Haochen asked in a puzzled tone. Lin Xin gave him a serious reply, Before we head to the Transaction Center, I have something to say. It is very important, so I want you two captains to be my eyewitnesses. Long Haochen seemed to be moved, thinking of something without being certain of it. Only slightly nodding, he said, I am listening. Lin Xin pursed up his lips, abruptly turning at Li Xins direction. His movement was fast, and his sharp eyes as well as his graceful dark green long hair looked fixedly at her, suddenly giving Li Xin a scare, even causing her to take a step back, unhappily reacting, What kind of bad thing are you up to? Seeing Li Xin step back seemed to give Lin Xin courage. Violently stepping forward, he grabbed Li Xins hand, dering with conviction and courage, I have thought about it for long, and on thest few days of the mission, my emotions were constrained deeply. Aftering back, I finally came to a decision. You have to take responsability for me, you have to! Li Xin had been truly shocked by his sudden serious and determined face. With so many people looking nearby, she wanted to free her hand from his grip, but Lin Xins grip was really tight. What are you doing? Release me! What the hell do you want me to take responsibility for? Li Xin reacted filled with both shyness and distress Lin Xin immediately opened his eyes wide, grieved and indignant, What? Youre not admitting what you did afterwards?! But that was my first time! How can you act in such a way? Captains andrades, I let you call the shots!! Having said this, he took a step forward, forcefully embracing Li Xins slender waist. Li Xin was quite tall and imposing, and Lin Xin was only about the same height as her. If it was someone else, when prepared in advance, she would naturally not possibly have let him draw closer. But on these days, a change seemed to have appeared in Li Xins heart, plus the fact that Lin Xins act was just too sudden. The word shameless could already not be used to describe this guy anymore, seeing how he took profit of Li Xins confusion to suddenly hold her in his arms like this. Everyone in the two Demon Hunt Squads was immediately shocked. Just what happened, what first time? Everyone felt extremely confused. Only Long Haochen seemed to understand the situation, feeling torn betweenughter and tears. Lin Xin seemed to have thought it up clearly, but this was just too excessive Li Xins sluggish state was in the end temporary, and her reaction was very fast. As a Retribution Knight, how could Lin Xinpare with her in terms of strength. Struggling to get her arms free, she pushed Lin Xin away, shouting with a face red of anger, You Nonsense! What about your first time, you are such an unfaithful skirt-chaser, how could that be a first? We should rather clearly call it MY first time. Li Xins attempt to defend herself immediately caused Long Haochen to cover his eyes with his own hands, _Sis, putting it this way is_ Naturally, everyone was even more shocked and agreed by chance to draw back, leaving only these two in the center of the room. Lin Xin was prepared long ago for Li Xins sudden counterattack, and immediately followed up like a snake, filled with energy, Who said I am unfaithful? Do you have proof? I am a serious guy, who had a very strict education, way off from having ended up as a pimp. Then, since this is also your first, let me be the one take responsability. This should be okay right? Okay? Whod be okay with your sly ideas? Embarrassed and furious, Li Xin kicked Lin Xin. She didnt use any technique or spiritual energy, only lifted her leg with an ordinary motion. If Lin Xin wanted to avoid it, that would have been possible, but Lin Xin suddenly turned back, using his own butt to parry this kick, before letting out a world-shaking miserable scream, directly falling on the sofa on the side. Ow, it really hurts. Li Xin just thought of giving this guy a good beating, but sensing the atmosphere in the vi, raised her head to look at everyone. Seeing their bewildered and shocked looks, she immediately blushed with the same red as her Rose Unicorn, Its not like you are imagining. I, we didnt At this time, Lin Xin crawled up from the sofa, devoid of the previous impulse that filled him, which was reced by sincerity, Hitting me is intimacy, and cursing is affection, which exins this sudden kick. Dont worry, I can bear it. Since you can bear it, let me just kill you! Filled with embarrassment, Li Xin turned over her grip, and took out the heavy sword on her back, directly pointing it at Lin Xin. Everyone from the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad seemed to have the same reaction, but were stopped with a gesture of Long Haochen. Long Haochen understood his own big sister too well. She wouldnt possibly really aim at injuring somebody in such circumstances. She wanted to see what Lin Xin was about to do. Instead of moving up Li Xin, his previous deration clearly caused her to feel awkward! Long Haochen also understood Lin Xin pretty well; although this guy was usually arrogant and narcissistic, he was still pure deep inside,pletely the opposite to what he looked like. Acting this way definitely took great courage from him. Chapter 269 - Lin Xin’s counterattack (II)

Chapter 269: Lin Xins counterattack (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin shut his both eyes, Come then. If you reached this decision, then you should just kill me. You Under the multitude of stares, Li Xin got extremely panicky and didnt understand what she was feeling right at that moment, only finding this guy really hateful. How would she still be able to behave with integrity after this? But could she really pull off that blow? She clearly couldnt. Even without this ambiguity between the two of them, this wasnt something she could possibly do. _Dang_ This sound came from her act of throwing down her sword, before turning around and nning to run to the exit. Long Haochen hastened to stop her, Sis Li Xin sounded furious, What? Even you want to bully me together with him? Long Haochen earnestly shook his head, Of course not. You are my big sister, and although we arent blood-rted, I will always regard you as a dear sister. I didnt really understand what Lin Xin was speaking about either, but if after bullying you like this, he doesnt give you an ount, I will never let him off as your little brother that I am. Long Haochens spoken words were powerful and resonant, even carrying a bit of fury, or at least, it looked so on the surface. Hearing him say that, Li Xins expression immediately eased up by a lot. Finally, someone else was on her side, standing up for her. And by chance, Long Haochens sincere look was not as unconvincing as another persons expression. Suddenly turning back, Li Xins eyes looked like it turned red, Okay, Im not leaving yet. Lin Xin, just tell me clearly what you mean. Lin Xin took a few steps forward, standing there and having a cramped sensation, Li Xin, Im sorry. I know that my previous show should have embarrassed you. But on the recent days, you have always been ignoring me. I really didnt know how I could get you to listen to the wordsing from the bottom of my heart, so now that we are in front of everyone else, I had to let out what I had in my heart. His current face wasnt as unconvincing as before, and his current words seemed to be really sincere. As he said this, his face was clearly a bit flushed too, and he had a restless look, visibly stirred up emotionally. Li Xin suddenly discovered that she didnt dare look at him in the eyes, overdoing the motion of turning her head to his direction. Lin Xins eyes were swept at all the others, Let me make it clear first, you mustnt misunderstand my rtionship with Li Xin, everyone. It is not like you are probably imagining. Do you remember what happened on the Deste Hissing Caverns side? This time, Li Xin reprimanded me for being unable to attack. You all know the rest, but what you dont know is that Li Xin felt bad about what she did, and on the mountain where we had a rest after the battle, she wanted topensate me. Then, she offered me her first kiss. I can swear by the heavens that this was also my first. Lin Xin spoke very sincerely, to the extent that even if everyone wanted tough, they wouldnt be able to bring themselves to do it. This time, she couldnt refute anything, because this was just the truth, that didnt add up the slightest superfluous detail. You should remember deeply your first time everyone, right? I am the same. Afterwards, a change seem to have happened inside of me. I vaguely came to realize that I liked her, but just didnt know what degree this feeling of liking someone reached. I have been struggling with myself everyday because of this, but as the coward I am really, I didnt have the guts to look for you to discuss it. I was afraid of being rejected, and didnt dare be certain that these feelings I had were really love.. As he said so, Lin Xin drew another two steps closer, closing the gap separating Li Xin from him to two meters. Lin Xins breathing was visibly bing hurried, and his face looked extremely blushed. This movement caused Li Xin to be mingled with embarrassment and distress, but simrly, as the instigator of the act, how could the pressure on him be any lower? We finally came back safely, so everyone should rx. After handing back the mission, our two Demon Hunt Squads will eventually split way. We have just shared a huge amount of contribution points, but although I felt excited from it, my chest still seemed to be filled with a heavy feeling. This suddenly caused me to realize that I couldnt keep on feeling pain, longing, every time I looked at you. When I imagined being unable to see your face, I was just be filled with an indescriptible feeling of disappointment and frustration. Suddenly, I realized that I really Stepping forward once again, he arrived in front of Li Xin. After lifting up his both hands, he grabbed her shoulder, looking at her in the eyes, and dered, I really fell in love with you. Hearing him say this, Li Xins whole body shookpletely. All left on her face was shyness, erasing any more traces of anger. I dont want to keep enduring silently, because being secretly in love is just too painful. Since by expressing my feelings, I could at least have half a chance of sess, I chose to do it now. Its because some timeter, our two Demon Hunt Squads will part way and run their own missions. By then, it will be a lot harder for me to look for you. Or perhaps, we wont evene back from our next mission. I dont want to possibly die while carrying such regrets. I am really sorry for having inconvenienced you like this, but I am sincere. I really hope that you will give me a chance. Saying these words, Lin Xin loosened his hold on Li Xins shoulders and held instead her hands, kneeling down before her. Dense light elemental essence gathered in this instant, and a dazzling rose shining like a red gem was formed on his back. Li Xin waspletely flustered. At this time, her brain waspletely nk. She was already twenty this year, an age at which an ordinary girl would already have gotten married, but she hadnt have any experience with boys at all. A few years ago, she came to like the same boy as her close friend, but this boy didnt choose her in the end. At this very moment, Lin Xin was quite more powerful inparison to that person, Li Xin seemed to have been traumatized from that time. Since these days, Lin Xin had been in a tangle, but how could it not be the same for her? The part that moved her the most in Lin Xins speech was when he said that he didnt want to face a possible death with such regrets left in him. The others didnt speak at all, stealthily leaving the vi under Long Haochens hints. Leavingpletely the space to the two of them, they decided to let them have a private talk. Lin Xin kneeled down, and although little mes were rising at his back, condensing into the shape of a fiery red rose, his hands were icy and incessantly sweating. Im older than you. After a long time of restraint, Li Xin suddenly said this. Lin Xin replied in haste and eager, No problem. A man will regard a woman less than three years older than him as a youngdy, though if shes more than five years older, he would regard her as a mother figure. You may be a little older than me, but its still not as much as five years right? Li Xin cursed at him with a smile, Whos your mother figure here!? Fuck off! As she said this, she pulled back Lin Xins hands. Lin Xin was overjoyed, You So, you ept? Li Xin snorted, I havent epted! As she said this, she shot a nce at the zing red rose around him, You dont have the slightest good faith. After saying this, she violently pushed Lin Xin back, turning around to the exit. The ming roses disappeared in the air, filled with a red light. Lin Xin was rmed at first, but immediately clenched his fists, waving it with energy. Flinging back his hair, his next words were: Sess! Li Xin left from the vis entrance, obviously assailed by everyones look. Unhappy, she shouted in response, What are you looking at?! Are you going to trouble me like this annoying guy? Im going back to rest, go to the Transaction Center by yourselves please. Having said this, she ran away at great speed. Long Haochen gave Luc Xi an hesitating nce, murmuring, Was this a sess or not? Luc Xi chuckled in response, It clearly went well! Trust me Captain Long, you clearly cannot be as experienced as me on this kind of matters. Having said this much, as soon as he looked at Caier in Long Haochens arms, he naturally stopped speaking further. It was at this time that Lin Xin left the vi. Seeing his happy, vigorous, and spirited face, everyone came to understand that these two had be pretty close to each other. Sima Xian grabbed Lin Xin with envy, Has-drug-bro, your treat! Han Yu pressed Lin Xin from the other side, Should be a great meal! Lin Xin dered with a smile, How about having a treat of big bros drugs instead? Go to hell! Long Haochen gave Lin Xin a deep look, but didnt say anything. However, his look was already telling Lin Xin a lot. Go, lets go to the Transaction Center. I have to buy gifts for Xiner. Lin Xin advanced, shooting up forward like a meteor. Chen Yinger grimaced wryly, Truly shameless! Did she even ept? And youre already calling her Xiner, Xiner like that. Lin Xin turned back, proudly replying, How could she not ept? I have been extremely sincere. In the future, Xiner will be a part of my life, even more important than my own life. Long Haochen passed through Lin Xins side, Lets go now, to the Business Center. The members of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad didnt say anything on this. To them, having Li Xin getting together with Lin Xin would be a good thing. After all, this would reinforce greatly the rtionships between their two Demon Hunt Squads. Everyone clearly saw how Long Haochens group surpassed their 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad in strength, and from this mission, the rtionship between both sides could be said to have reached a good level. In addition to the great benefits they had already gotten, if they were to cooperate again during future missions, the growth of their 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad would obviously elerate. The Demon Hunt Transaction Center wasnt so bustling with noise. Although it had many things for sale, there werent a lot of merchants present. After all, there were only a little more than two hundred Demon Hunt Squads in the whole Temple Alliance, with a lot of thempleting missions outside of the city, so only a few remained there. The ones that set up their stall there could only be other Demon Hunters, or people from the Transaction Center 1. variation of the popr Chinese saying: that a wife one year older will give her husband good omen (like a golden pheasant); that a wife three years older will bring him a prosperous life; that a wife five years older will take good care of her husband (like a mother figure. I think its supposed to be apliment, but well, I guess its not the case for everyone) Chapter 270 - Lin Xin’s counterattack!(III)

Chapter 270: Lin Xins counterattack!(III)

At this time, a group of thirty years-old-looking men and women stood at the entrance of the Demon Hunt Transaction Center, discussing together. Fifth brother, we are only missing ten thousand contribution points to advance from the general grade to themander grade. With boss training in seclusion, we are for now unable to run missions to gain these. How about selling some equipment to try to gather these 10,000 points? A slim middle-aged person d in a wind-elemental magic robe asked. The one he called fifth brother was a sturdy man, with a robust build. With his height over two meters, his broad shoulders and the martial attire he was d in, his entire bodys muscles stretched taut, but surprisingly, only his eyes were very little. His eyes were asionally shing bright. How could it be so easy? We are speaking about 10,000 contribution points! Boss told us that he would go train in seclusion, so what if he suddenly had a need for some equipment or medicine? Everyone is impatient to advance to themander grade, but how much would we have to sell if we want to make such an amount? It will definitely weaken our strength. Even if we sessfully advance to themander rank, how would weplete missions with our strength weakened like this? Third brother, donte up with such rotten ideas. They were a total of three people, with a girl among their group. This girl was d in a robe of summoner, smiling at what she heard, It doesnt mean we can absolutely not aplish this. If we manage to advance to themander grade earlier, our strength will rise greatly. Out of the ten newly formed Demon Hunt Squads of five years ago, only six of us are left. The others have all already advanced to themander grade, so we are the only ones left. The robust warrior they called third brother asked in a low voice, Sixth sister, do you have a way? That girls appearance was average but she had a sharp look. In a low voice, she replied, I have a way. Do you remember about what happened half a year after we became a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad? If not for that experience, how would we still not have advanced to themander grade? We are not evenckingpared to the others. Her fifth brother unhappily replied, Say no more about that bastard that swindled us, robbing us of all our hardly umted points. This was my fault for having been so impulsive. This experience even affected my mental, leaving a shadow behind me. Because of this, Im still even now stuck in the bottleneck of the sixth step, unable to break through at all. At that time, he swindled our Demon Hunt Squad, giving us a good lesson, and trampling on our integrity. When weined to the Alliance, we hadnt even gotten a single response. Since the Alliance doesnt care, just let them be! Dont tell me we cannot do the same!?, said their sixth sister. Their fifth brothers eyes were lit, Are you thinking of The girl nodded and continued, The new batch of Demon Hunt Squads should have already startedpleting mission. Maybe we will still have a chance. As long as we scrape enough contribution points, and if you try a little harder to break through to the sixth step, we will immediately be able to climb to themander grade when boss gets back. The third brother wrinkled his brows, This wont do! We cannot show such a behavior: wouldnt it be no different from what those guys did? The girl smiled in response, Third brother, this is incorrect. Its not necessarily a bad thing that well be doing. After having experienced this tragedy, we were a lot more cautious when carrying out mission. You shouldnt forget that the other Demon Hunt Squads that were split up because of casualties werent anyckingpared to us, but we were the ones who lived through. Thus, this experience was also a good thing for us. The fifth brotherughed and replied, Thats right, sixth sister is not wrong. Its a good deed we are doing by helping those newly formed Demon Hunt Squads to grow on the mental aspect. Theres just one thing sixth sister: where could we find newly formed Demon Hunt Squads? The girl stuck out her lips to another direction, telling in a low voice, Look, arent theying this way? The fifth brother looked at the direction she pointed, and really saw a dozen people walking at the direction of the Transaction Center. Their age was already a proof of their identity; leading them were a boy and a girl that looked like they werent even twenty in age, and yet, that youth was holding the girl in his arms. Fifth brother, the time to make up for your previous mistake hase. Do to these neers the same as what they did to us at that time. A glint appeared in the fifth brothers eyes, Okay, Im going. Just wait for my good news outta here. As he said this, the fifth brother walked forward with spirited and vigorous steps, in the direction of that dozen young boys and girls. Their target was no one else but the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad and the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. Long Haochen was about to reach the Transaction Center with his group, when suddenly, a sturdy man appeared in their path. Younger brother, hello. You are newly formed Demon Hunt Squads right? The fifth brother stopped Long Haochen, saying this with a smile. Long Haochen unconsciously nodded. They had already advanced to the general grade, but it was still urate to say that they were a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad. The fifth brother dered with a smile, Yes, as I thought. Its like this, the Mission Towers side asked us to look for you, to assign you an internal mission exclusive to your Demon Hunt Squads. Hello mister. We areing back right from a mission, how could they already send us another mission? Long Haochen asked with some doubts. The fifth brother chuckled, Dont worry. It looks that you have run into quite big troubles during yourst mission. Rest at ease, this mission isnt any dangerous; it is an internal mission, which can be treated as a test for newly formed Demon Hunt Squads like yours. The two Demon Hunt Squads stopped over. They could only felt suspicious at hearing this five brothers words. However, the Demon Hunt Transaction Center wasnt a ce anyone could go in. It was located in the same area as the Demon Hunt Squads vis, and its entrance was guarded by powerhouses. It wouldnt be easy for people that dont belong to Demon Hunt Squads to go in there. As this fifth brother said this, he revealed the contribution point tile in his left arm, and said, This is my contribution point tile. I am the warrior from the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad. They call me fifth brother, so you can call me by this name too. Seeing this contribution tile, the hesitations of Long Haochens group were greatly dissipated. Since the other party was a Demon Hunter, it was a fellow soldier, which naturally decreased their alert by far. Mister, has the Mission Tower assigned us with another mission? Long Haochen asked. Fifth brother replied, The mission is very simple. I am the object of your mission. In view of your exceptional performance in yourst mission, the Mission Tower decided to give you an internal mission. This mission can be called a reward mission. If you canplete it, you will obtain a great reward of contribution points: it consists on staking your own contribution points as gamble and choose someone amongst you to challenge me. If you win, you will immediately earn ten times these contribution points. Hearing him, Long Haochensrades were eager to give it a try; this was a ten times reward! And furthermore, they had a good confidence towards Long Haochens power. But Long Haochens response wasnt hurried, only politely asking, Mister, we should be able to choose whether to ept this mission or not, shouldnt we? Seeing that you are a member of the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad, how could juniors like us be a match for you? This mission simply doesnt give us any chance at all. Seeing Long Haochens firm look, fifth brother felt greatly ashamed. But thinking about being able to raise to themander grade of Demon Hunt Squad, he immediately threw off this guilty feeling, resolutely replying, Rest at ease on that, the Mission Tower wouldnt give you a mission you are totally unable to aplish. Although I am a member of the eighth general grade Demon Hunt Squad, I am the weakest member of the team, only at the fifth step of cultivation. Since I havent broken through the sixth step of cultivation yet, you will have a chance, and furthermore, I will not use my weapon during this duel. Of course, you can choose not to ept this mission. Though, you have a single chance, so you wont be able to take it againter. Boss, go against him. Hes only at the fifth step, so we should still have a chance at it. Lin Xin whispered in a low voice at Long Haochens ears. Luc Xi remained calm and collected, as he stated, Mister, can you give us a proof that you are at the fifth step of cultivation? And will you bring your stake? Fifth brother smiled to them, Of course I will bring it. However, ording to the rules of the mission, the contribution points you take out cannot be inferior to 1,000. If I win, this will be considered as my reward for the execution of the mission. But I cant intervene for a too low stake either. During the duel, we can have the contribution points we gambled acknowledged to the side of the Alliances Great Stadium. Only then shall we start the match. You are really cautious, youngsters, are you afraid of me deceiving you or what? Luc Xi revealed a smile, Many thanks to you, mister. But we gained these contribution points with difficulty, so we are of course careful about it. Let us discuss it for a moment, before we decide on whether we ept this mission or not, is that be okay? Fifth brother nodded, Of course its okay. Ill be waiting for you there; you can look for me after thinking about it between yourselves. As he said this, he turned around and walked to the other direction. After fifth brother left, Lin Xin immediately told Long Haochen in excitement, Boss, such a chance! Its a ten time contribution point rewards! If we manage to beat him, we will have over a million contribution points in the end. Long Haochen unhappily replied, Are you dreaming? How could meat pie rain from the sky? I felt that this mister fifth brother was really suspicious: if this was a mission from the Mission Tower, it should have been given to us through a staff member. But he directly looked for us. And your thinking is not reasonable. He belongs to a general grade Demon Hunt Squad, so if they had a million contribution points, wouldnt they have relied on it to get promoted to themander grade, instead of giving us this mission? Haochen, you are really clever. This guy hase to swindle us of our contribution points. Luc Xi said with a grotesque smile on his face. Mh? Long Haochen looked hesitatingly at Luc Xi. Luc Xi dered in a low voice, This is a method for veteran Demon Hunt Squads to bully newly formed ones, which the Alliance wont care about. They pretend that it can strengthen newly formed Demon Hunt Squads vignce. This trick isnt really a clever one, but after a challenging mission, a tenfold reward is just too enticing to some of the newly formed Demon Hunt Squads that have just gotten to realize how precious contribution points could be. Thus, quite a few newly formed Demon Hunt Squads are taken in. One of my seniors is a Demon Hunt Squad member that also went through this. Lin Xin was dumbstruck, Then its a swindler? Is he not afraid of us denouncing him? Luc Xi raised up his shoulders, What use would there be to denounce him? The fifth step of cultivation isnt something that one can fake, you know!? Chapter 271 - Challenge accepted (I)

Chapter 271: Challenge epted (I)

Long Haochen was kind-hearted, but not inflexible. Since the other party wanted to bully their side, how could they leave it at that? I dont have an absolute confidence because many variables have to be taken into ount. Although the opponent is at the fifth step, he should be at the peak of the fifth step right now, and hisbat experience wont be inferior to ours. Long Haochen stated calmly. Wang Yuanyuan asked, Captain, how much confidence do you have to win? When Long Haochen smiled, his sunlit smiling face caused Wang Yuanyuan to be nk, Id say 90% 90%? Luc Xi stared at Long Haochen with wide eyes, Haochen if I may ask, at which rank of the fifth step are you now? The trust he originally had in Long Haochen actually stemmed from his powerful mount Haoyue as well as the Light Elemental Fairy. Long Haochen looked at this fifth brother from afar, Should be about the same as him. The peak of the fifth step? Luc Xi took a deep breath. Let alone him, everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad gave Long Haochen startled looks. At the time they took on the mission of Exploring the Deste Hissing Cavern, Long Haochens spiritual energy was still only a little more than 3,000, so there was quite a gap before reaching the ninth rank of the fifth step. But after such a short time, he had already reached the peak of the fifth step? What sort of magic was that? Sima Xian fiddled with his fingers, lowering his head towards Long Haochens ears, Then what are you waiting for, boss? Since someone came to give us a gift, you should ept it. They cannot possibly have 1,000,000 contribution points, but since they managed to reach the level of a general grade Demon Hunt Squad, I estimate that they should have no less than 100,000 contribution points in store. We will just have to take out 10,000 contribution points, this way even if we lose it will be no big deal. Losing what? Do you think our boss could lose? Since he came to swindle us, we will teach him a lesson. Lin Xin said with a very fierce smile. He was currently very excited, and his narcissistic side seemed to have gone rampant. Long Haochen winked an eye, Isnt ten times a bit too much How about it, Lin Xin, Ill hand all my contribution points to you, and only keep 10,000 for now. As the one responsible for the whole teams finances, the handling of contribution points was naturally under Lin Xins control as well. This guy was not only a money grubber, but a real miser, having a very good ability at haggling over prices. No one else was more suited than him to be called the teams god of wealth. Chen Yinger revealed a little smile, Captain, so you are following bad examples now It was for the sake of the bet that Long Haochen wanted to keep only 10,000 contribution points. Lin Xin winked at him, and after receiving thousands of contribution points, he had an excited and crafty look. Withrge strides, Long Haochen headed towards the Transaction Center, immediately confronting this fifth brother. He didnt wear any special attire, and showed a puerile smile that would have a strong persuasiveness, which gave great self-confidence to the worried third brother and sixth sister who came up with such a bad idea. How high could the cultivation level of such young Demon Hunters probably be? Even if they were especially remarkable, they would at most have just broken through to the fifth step. And after having spent five years as a Demon Hunter, this fifth brother had already gone through the baptism of fire and water on countless asions. Mister fifth brother, I am willing to ept this mission. Please tell me, how much contribution points do you think I should stake on it? Long Haochen asked respectfully. The fifth brother smiled, Bet as many as you wish. It will depend on how many contribution points you have gathered. Long Haochen looked hesitant, With the mission our team has justpleted plus the contribution points we gained during the period of test, we should have about 10,000 contribution points. Can I stake all of them? As he said this, he lowered his head with some embarrassment. It was fortunate that the others didnt follow Long Haochen over, otherwise, they would have had to greatly re-evaluate their opinion on Long Haochen. In contrast to his kindhearted character, he was clearly being dishonest now. The fifth brothers eyes lit up, but he looked a bit hesitant, ncing at his sixth sister standing next to him. She nodded to him, with a little gesture. The fifth brother immediately made up his resolve, dering indignantly, Okay, then lets gamble for 10,000 contribution points. If you win, we will pay you ten times this amount. Please wait for me at the side of the Great Stadium. We will do this at the Warrior Stadium. Long Haochen shook his head, I am ufortable with doing this at the Warrior Stadium. Im more used to the Knight Stadium. The fifth brother started tough in spite of himself, What? Are you afraid of me swindling you or what? Okay, we can do this at the Knight Stadium too. Many thanks, senior. Long Haochen saluted him once again, but at the time he turned around, his lips were involuntarily forming a smile. Seeing his leaving figure, the third brother couldnt help but say, Fifth brother, Im afraid this kid isnt so simple. 10,000 contribution points is a huge amount for a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad. At this time, only losing 5,000 contribution points almost caused our whole team to fall apart. Since he dared to take out 10,000 contribution points, he surely has confidence in himself. Shouldnt we first investigate which team he belongs to? His fifth brother proudly replied, Third brother, you are really gutless. Dont tell me his age could be faked? Sixth sister,e on. Saying this, he extended his hand towards his sixth sister. The girl raised her hand, from which appeared an exquisite sculpture releasing rich fluctuations of magical power. Without hesitation she handed it to him. The fifth brother was more straightforward than the third, With this thing, do you think I can still lose? Lets go, third brother. We shall borrow some contribution points. Lets gather those 100,000 contribution points and then go to the Knight Stadium. Long Haochen told hisrades about the arrangement, Lets go then. We should head there first and wait for them to arrive. Lin Xin chuckled in joy, Boss, you go first. I am heading with Captain Luc to the Transaction Center to take a look. Thinking that he wanted to buy a gift for Li Xin, Long Haochen agreed, leading the others to the Knight Stadium. Lin Xin and Luc Xi looked at each other, and the two of them rapidly headed towards the Transaction Center. In few short moments, a rumor was spread on the first and the second floor of the center that someone from a newly formed Demon Hunt Squad challenged the fifth brother from the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad. The origin of those news was quite obscure, but the Demon Hunters present on the first and the second floor quickly heard the news. And reportedly, they were intentionally spread by some people. When Long Haochen arrived at the Knight Stadium, after exining the situation to Caier on the way, the staff members looked at his arrival with bewildered nces. Still, the staff members naturally wouldnt say anything since this was a matter between Demon Hunt Squads, which they couldnt get involved with. Han Yu said in a low voice, Master, be very careful! Thebat experience of those people is very high as theypleted many missions as Demon Hunters. They surely arent weak in battle. Long Haochen nodded, I know. Sima Xian leisurely remarked, Hehe, old friend, dont be nervous. Waiting for the contribution points to be handed to us is all we have to do is. After the profit we made this time, we will not have to take more missions for the time being, and can calmly wait for our vice-captain to recover. Sima Xian and Han Yu were the same on this regard, they were both delighted and sincerely willing to follow Long Haochen, regarding him as their boss. More than anything else, this was because of the the beneficial increase of their internal spiritual energy, which naturally elerated their personal cultivation. This was something for which Sima Xian was extremely grateful to Long Haochen. In fact, to take him as his third retainer knight, Long Haochen took a great risk. Sitting in the resting area, Long Haochen calmly waited. However, for a while, the fifth brother didnte, but many people unrted to the duel filled the stands. They were mostly youths, and at most middle-aged people. After entering the stadium, they looked for a seat, as if waiting for a show to begin. Among them, Long Haochen saw a few familiar faces, like the members of Yang Wenzhaos second soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, or Duan Yis third soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, all of whom were present. Those two captains directly went to sit beside Long Haochen. Brother Long, I see that you made quite some noise this time. Yang Wenzhao nced at the nearby Chen Yinger, revealing a helpless expression as he spoke in a low voice. Long Haochen naturally knew what he was referring to, straightening his shoulders he said, Such a mistake from the Mission Tower doesnt only involve our team. Yang Wenzhao took a long breath before nodding, The Alliance still handled this matter promptly. Otherwise, it would certainly have caused dissatisfaction among all the Demon Hunt Squads. Tell me, why did you go after this 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad? This is clearly a trap from experienced people aiming to swindle neers like us out of our contribution points. We have previously run into the same kind of seniors, but I refused their proposition. Do you feel confident? Long Haochen smiled at him, I am not absolutely confident, but we neers arent so easy to bully. Even if we dont win, its no problem since this is a rate of one to ten. It was a low amount of contribution points that I betted. Yang Wenzhao confidently replied, Then its good. Just treat it as a sparring match. Still, its really good to have you as fellow soldiers. I am supporting you, at the betting stands. I have already ced a bet of a hundred contribution points on you. Betting stands? What do you mean by betting stands? Long Haochen hesitantly asked. Yang Wenzhao had a surprised reaction, Isnt this stand opened by you guys? Its Lin Xin! And he was with the captain of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, Luc Xi. Thats right, how is it that Lin Xin was together with Luc Xi? The betting stands they opened were reallyrge, but if you lose, Im afraid it will cost you a considerable amount of contribution points. Long Haochen didnt know whether tough or to cry when hearing that, What a money grubber! And I had been wondering why he ran off to the Transaction Center Was he the one who notified you? Yang Wenzhao chuckled, Not only did he notify us, but he also told us to spread the news that those veterans were bullying neers. And that after this, even if we dont file aint to the Alliance, the other teams of our generation should receive the information to prevent anyone else from being duped again. Rest at ease, Lin Xin is very crafty and opened the stakes at one against thirty. Thats to say, if you lose, its just a thirtieth part. Thus, you shouldnt have too much topensate.

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen had a calm and collected reaction, How many people participated in this betting? Yang Wenzhao replied, A lot. Very few were optimistic on your ability to win against veterans like the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squads members. This fifth brother should have gone out to borrow some contribution points. I estimate that he will be back soon. Just how many contribution points did you bet? How is it that he needed to go borrow some? Long Haochen revealed a smile, 10,000 contribution points. What? It was not only Yang Wenzhao; even Duan Yi on the other side couldnt help but cry out in rm. Youre crazy! Dont you know how much energy we would have to put in to gain 10,000 contribution points. You have not only to think about yourself but also about yourrades opinions. Yang Wenzhaos words were closer to a rebuke than a piece of advice. Is the pressure on our captain something you are involved in? This was something we were willing to do, and we arent afraid of the loss. Chen Yingers dismissive and aggressive voice sounded. Looking at her, Yang Wenzhao had a serious tone, Chen Yinger, this is business between Brother Long and myself. Chen Yinger did a sudden grimace, Business? Seeing your expression, Im sure youre just pressuring him because of the hundred contribution points you betted. And you still have the nerve toe at us. Seeing that Yang Wenzhaos expression was quite ugly, Long Haochen gave Chen Yinger a nce, Rest at ease, Brother Yang. Since I dared to bet this much, I have absolute confidence in myself. On the other side, Duan Yi suddenly stood up, turned his head and looked quite thoughtful. Yang Wenzhao felt hesitant, Brother Duan, where are you going? I estimate that this fifth brother shoulde soon. We should put up a strong front to support and apud Haochen right now. Duan Yi gave him a nce, Im going to increase my bet on Haochen. Having said this, he rapidly headed to the exit. After a short time of surprise, Yang Wenzhao immediately reacted, sending a nce in Long Haochens direction before standing up as well, and heading to the exit. He even walked a lot faster than Duan Yi. Being a smart person, how could he note to the same realization as Duan Yi? Who was Long Haochen? He was the one that surpassed the two of them during the Demon Hunt Selection Competition, as well as the teampetition that followed, leading the 1st soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad to their final victory. Would he do something like this if he wasnt confident? Daring to bet 10,000 contribution points, what did it imply? And the odds were one against thirty! If Long Haochen won The Knight Stadium was bing more and more crowded and by now, at least fifty people had rushed in. And all the people that came in were exclusively Demon Hunters. On the eighth Demon Hunt Squads side, third brother, fifth brother and sixth sister arrived together. They were not surprised to learn that people were betting on this duel. Since they were going to profit from it, they could just as well share a bit of this profit with others. Lin Xin and Luc Xi came right behind them, standing side by side next to Long Haochen. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were following behind, wearing ugly expressions. Did you start a betting stand? Long Haochens ardent gaze was directed at Lin Xin. Lin Xin chuckled, Dont worry boss, I know what I am doing. Anyway, the whole amount of everyones bet was restricted to at most 10,000 contribution points. Long Haochens expression finally rxed. If they had collected too much money in the betting pool, their Demon Hunt Squad could very possibly lose a familys fortune. And afterwards, they couldnt possibly stay low key. It would never be a good for a weak party to make too many enemies at once. Haochen, you should control this little Lin Xin better. Its so unfair; when we came to raise our bet, he actually didnt ept! Yang Wenzhaos unhappy voice was heard. Because Lin Xin and Luc Xi were seated at the nearest seats to Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi could only go sit a little further away. Lin Xin put on a wronged face, Its not that I dont want to ept, but that you camete. You only arrived after our betting stand was closed. I couldnt do anything about it. Right, brother Luc? Luc Xi, who seemed to have suddenly gotten familiar with Lin Xin over this little period of time, nodded in response, Thats just the way it is. We cannot do anything about it. We would need to look for the Transaction Centers staff members to make sure if this betting stand was fair, and we dont have the time for this. Pleasee earlier next time, sirs. Long Haochen and Lin Xin looked at each other face to face, giving off perturbed looks. Lin Xin wore a despising expression, telling him in a low voice, Those two have certainly betted a hundred contribution point on us, but each of them has also betted 10,000 contribution points on this fifth brother. And now, they want to go back on the deal? They should better have thought it through earlier. Long Haochen just remained silent. Other peoples contribution points really werent worth worrying about. Thinking of it, he patted Caiers little hand, before she nodded in response. Then, he stood up, advancing towards the stadiums entrance. Without any need for him to do anything, the staff member of the Knight Stadium had already invited a Temple Knight of the seventh step to make sure this match would be fair. Of course, this wasnt done for free. Five hundred contribution points had to be paid to this Temple Knighting from a Demon Hunt Squad, and this amount would be paid out of the winners pockets. The fifth brother also entered the stadium, wearing an indifferent face, giving a look to Long Haochen who had already changed into his Holy Spirit Armour. He clearly still felt a bit ashamed. Letting a smile appear on his face, he said, Little brother, you can still think this through. Even now it isnt toote if you want to lessen the amount of contribution points you staked. Long Haochen shook his head, Theres no need. Since I came here, I will fight with my full strength. Looking at Long Haochen, the expression on the face of this Temple Knight of the seventh step suddenly became shocked, but it rapidly returned to normal. Nodding to the two of them, he dered, All good. Please hand over the contribution of your bet to me. The two of them transferred their contribution points. The Temple Knight dered, This is just a friendly match, so in case a party concedes or loses the ability to fight, the opponent is not allowed to keep attacking, let alone killing the other party. If I decide that one of you cannot bear the opponents attack, I will stop the match. Seeing so many Demon Hunters watching this match, I believe that what they want to see is a fair match. Long Haochens hand lit up, and his Holy Spirit Sword appeared. He raised it above his left shoulder, before he performed a standard knight salute to this Temple Knight. The fifth brother also remembered to salute the Temple Knight, and at his signal, the two parties started to put some distance between them. Start! The Temple Knight shouted loudly. Long Haochen didnt take out another weapon, only grasping the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand. Performing a knight salute, he immediatelyunched a charge in the fifth brothers direction. The fifth brother was also d in heavy armor, which was visibly a lot thicker than Long Haochens Holy Spirit Armor. Although it was only a magical equipment, its defensive power was visibly a lot stronger. In his hands was a pair of battle-axes. The opponent turned out to be a dual-axe-wielding warrior. The fifth brothers axes were enormous, looking almost like half-wheels. With its upper part covered in an eerie light, it was imbued with magic fluctuations. In the axes head, a round green gem was iid. Facing Long Haochens charge, the fifth brotherughed out loud, equally advancing with big strides to wee him. His build was extremely sturdy, and with the addition of his heavy armor, he looked just like an imprable wall. Compared to him, Long Haochen visibly looked too weak. Seeing that the two of them were about to collide, the fifth brother swung the axe in his left hand above his head,unching a chop at Long Haochen. He didnt attack with the axe in his right hand yet, keeping it near his body. Facing such a force, contained in this axe imbued with powerful spiritual energy, Long Haochen immediately came to a stop. Parrying with his Holy Spirit Sword, he used a standard defensive posture. With a loud ng sound, golden light glinted, and Long Haochen didnt move from his position. The fifth brothers axe was repelled, and at that time, Long Haochenunched a lightning-like stab with the Holy Spirit Sword in his right hand, transforming one movement into multiple sword blows. This was Lightning Thrust. Long Haochen was just battling with a single sword, causing the fifth brother to feel hesitant to tell whether he was a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight. Divine Obstruction was a Guardian Knight ability, whereas Lightning Thrust was used by Retribution Knights. Divine Obstruction? Those words immediately resounded in the fifth brothers mind. Consequently bing more cautious, he rapidly waved the axe in his right hand, brandishing it forward and blocked theunched Lightning Thrust. However, Long Haochens Lightning Thrust was truly too fast. His opponent was unable to block itpletely, and at least five to six hitsnded on that thick armor, causing repeated metallic sounds. And five or six dents were left on the armor. Although Long Haochens blow didnt make use of any other ability, it carried Bright Vengeance, naturally raising its power significantly. The fifth brother rapidly drew two steps back, waving his pair of axes before himself. Intense fluctuations of spiritual energy apanied this movement, enabling it to block Long Haochens series of attacks. By now, his evaluation of Long Haochen had greatly risen, and all his contemptuous behaviour had vanished. This was a Guardian Knight able to use both Divine Obstruction and Lightning Thrust. And based on his offensive power, he could tell that Long Haochen was truly a knight at the fifth step. But how old could he be? Still, it looked as if in this battle, he would really have to go all out. Two consecutive sword blows wereunched, charged with golden Light Thorns, blocking the fifth brothers axes. Long Haochen drew closer once again,unching Assault! The fifth brother shouted furiously, moved sideways to gain momentum, and swiftly stroke in Long Haochens direction with both of his two axes. Having tested the opponent previously he didnt hold back in the slightest with this attack. An ardent green spiritual energy rushed forth from his body, and the pair of axes broke out with bright light, seemingly bing especially prating. The powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy seemed to be apanied with a tornado, violently surging up in Long Haochens direction. Among warriors, axe-wielders were categorized in the same category as Berserk Warriors. Completely focusing on attack, they were the same as Retribution Knights. Its just that they didnt have a mount. Also, while knights attribute was light, it wasnt necessarily the case for warriors, whose element of predilection was variable. In the middle of Assault, Long Haochen suddenly jumped a meter high into the air. This motion was so sudden that even the fifth brothers dual axes couldntpletely lock him up. Moving at great speed, Long Haochen was already behind the fifth brother, and not only avoided his strikes, but also gave himself an opportunity for counterattack. Haochen attacked with Lightning Thrust. Using Lightning Thrust again, he was however stopped this time. A strong green-colored spiritual energy resisted him. With several sshing ripples of spiritual energy, his Lightning Thrust was unable to reach the fifth brothers waist. Suddenly, he seemed to turn into a green tornado, striking in Long Haochens direction. It was Tornado Strike! Chapter 273 - Challenge Accepted (III)

Chapter 273: Challenge epted (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This happened at a very fast pace, and the fifth brother also relied on the weight of his two axes to gain momentum. Being an experienced Demon Hunter, how could his strength be the same as that of an ordinary person of the same step? Divine Obstruction! With a violent collision, even while using Divine Obstruction, Long Haochen was sent back flying several meters. But the illusory green glow surrounding the fifth brother seemed to follow him relentlessly. The violent green radiance expanded rapidly, making his figurepletely blurry. With Bright Vengeance glinting on his body, Long Haochen crossed both of his hands, and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light appeared in his hand. A bright golden light followed, released from his chest, and the condensed liquid spiritual energy expanded outwards until itpletely covered his Holy Spirit Armor with a sacred light. Without drawing back Haochen used Divine Obstruction to block the attack. He raised his hands in the midst of a hissing sound seemingly only audible to Long Haochen. Thousands of strikes wereunched from Blue Rain with the use of Lightning Thrust, attacking the enemy in the midst of the green glow. _Is he crazy?_ Seeing Long Haochens two swordsunch Lightning Thrust, everyone seemed to share the same thought. Using Lightning Thrust to block such a powerful warrior ability as Tornado Strike? This was simply suicidal. Tornado Strike was the most powerful offensive ability a warrior below the sixth step can use. Although it was more suited for crowd battles, its power was extremely terrifying even in a one-on-one situation. Tornado Strike worked in apletely different way than Long Haochens Condemning Revolving Swords. Thetter came with a lesser consumption, because it relied more heavily on ones dexterity, to raise ones power with the help of the enemys strength. Otherwise Long Haochen couldnt possibly make use of such a powerful ability when his cultivation level was still only at the fourth step. Tornado Strike reliedpletely on the warriors personal strength. With both legs providing the driving force for the rest of the body, the spiritual energy was poured over the arms into the weapons. Combined with a spinning motion at great speed, the attacks burst out one after another. The duration of the attack was far from being as long as with Condemning Revolving Sword, but the instantaneous release of bursting power was enough to be a match. When a knight faced a warriors Tornado Strike, the best choice was to stay outside of its range. Since Tornado Strike couldntst for too long, and came with a massive consumption this was a safe way to counter it. But the fifth brothers main attribute was wind, and although he had a massive build, his speed was also surprisingly fast. At the time Long Haochen was sent flying, the opponent was immediately going after him. Confronting Tornado Strike and its pulling force as well as its terrible offensive strength, Long Haochens Nine Long Footsteps werent enough to dodge the strike. In contrast with Tornado Strike, Lightning Thorn was merely a Retribution Knight ability of the second step. Whenparing an ability at the early stage of the second step and one that reached the peak of the fifth step, what result could be expected? Even with dual sword, how could he contend against this? Wouldnt this difference in strength just cause his own death? However, the Temple Knight acting as a referee didnt show the slightest sign of wanting to stop the fight. Instead, the look he gave Long Haochen was immediately filled with astonishment. As far as the eye could see, the shower of light attacks was meeting with the green glow like rain frantically hitting at a tornado. The absolute majority of the observing Demon Hunters were between the fourth and the sixth step of cultivation, so the ones that could see this exchange of strikes clearly were few. But the few people that saw it couldnt help but open their mouths wide, expressing utter shock. Under normal circumstances, Lightning Thorn couldnt contend against Tornado Strike, and was bound to directly be repelled. Most of the time, the sword would be sent flying after the first contact. However, when Long Haochens Lightning Thorn shed with the fifth brothers Tornado Strike, each of his blows prated deep into the green glow, and in the midst of a series of weird sounds, the thick stabs prated into the green fan that was spinning at great speed. The rotating speed of the fifth brothers Tornado Strike seemed to be reduced by this scattering bright rain. Being forcefully interrupted like this, the fifth brother stumbled and almost fell down. On his armor and the axes, an uncountable amount of deep marks were left. It was fortunate that Tornado Strike was such a powerful attack, therefore, those traces werent deep enough to reach his body, but this magical armor was visibly heavily damaged. Did Haochen really only use Lightning Thorn? Of course not, this was apletely newly created ability which he named Demon Wiping sh. The prerequisite of this skill stemmed from Lightning Thorn and the marvelous Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Further adding the use of Long Haochens self-created Ripples of Light to it, this was an ability Long Haochen took close to a month to create. Its power could of course not bepared to a Lightning Thrust. Naturally, its consumption of spiritual energy was alsoparable with an ability of the fifth step. More importantly, this abilitys greatest advantage was that it applied very fundamental principles, making it possible tobine it with other abilities, like Holy Sword which was a perfect match for it. Long Xingyu had told Haochen once that if he was to create an ability, the best choice would be to do it by strengthening a basic ability. The reason was because all theplex and powerful abilities were evolved from fundamental abilities. Strengthening a basic ability was the same as strengthening all the rted abilities at once. On this day and during this battle, Haochen attempted to use this ability of Demon Wiping sh for the first time. Yet this technique easily broke through the fifth brothers Tornado Strike under everyones shocked gazes. The most shocked was naturally the fifth brother himself. Although Demon Wiping sh didnt hit his body, all those faint stabs really passed through his Tornado Strike. Had his Tornado Strike just been split like that? From the beginning, the fifth brother was nning on relying on the difference of cultivation to suppress Long Haochen. Long Haochens previous use of Divine Obstruction wasnt enough to catch his attention. After all this signature skill of a Guardian Knight was mostly a defensive ability. But at the same time, Divine Obstruction needed a good foresight, as it couldnt be used to defend against any attack withoutrades covering the nks. In a one-on-one battle, it would make one vulnerable to some extent. However, even before the two of them went against each other head on, both in regards to his weapon as well as his spiritual energy, he was actually the one that had been suppressed. A restless feeling infested the fifth brothers mind. Before this, he never thought that he could possibly end up as the defeated party. But at this moment, he had no choice but to think about this possibility, he couldnt avoid feeling a chill running down his spine. _I cannot hold back in the slightest, this knight is definitely no small fry!_ A shout burst out from the fifth brothers mouth, and immediately, his muscr body emanated a feeling of majestic power. It was Madness. At this very moment, a bright white light shone on the side of his left hand. Immediately, an enormous figure appeared and erged, forming a tall warrior entirely d in armor. It was just that this warrior didnt have any living aura. This was the little sculpture that his sixth sister handed over to him, a metallic puppet made of fine gold. Its extraordinary strength could match up to a warrior at the peak of the fifth step. It was wielding a pair of swords in its hands. _I cannot afford to lose. No matter what!_ Carrying great determination, the fifth brother suddenly jumped forward, and the strong green glow surrounding him suddenly became more solid. His speed and strength erupting, he arrived in front of Long Haochen in a sh,unching a full-power attack. The metallic puppet followed him in his tracks,unching a pair of sword-attacks at Long Haochens back at the same time. This happened in a very short span of time. Right after seeing Tornado Strike being suppressed, the fifth brothers reaction was immediate. Long Haochen didnt keep meeting him head on. When confronting two enemies at once, heunched another Assault, increased his speed to the peak and passed the metallic puppet and the fifth brother, breaking away from theirbined assault. At this very moment, a bright gleam appeared on his chest, revealing the four winged Light Elemental Fairy Yating. She ascended to the sky, chanting at great speed in a pleasant voice that resonated in the whole stadium. The instant Yating appeared, Long Haochens body was ignited in holy mes. Following next, Yating disyed her might, revealing the powerful assisting ability of a Light Elemental Fairy at the third stage of evolution. Halo of Faith, Guardians Favor, Imposing Halo, Spiritual Gathering Halo. It seemed to take only two seconds for each of those great supplementary abilities to bepleted. On Long Haochens body, the traces of the four halos appeared immediately. Who wouldnt have recognized this Light Elemental Fairy. It was one of the best supportive spiritual stoves, and more importantly, the Demon Hunters that belonged to the younger elite generation of the Alliance naturally recognized that low-ranked elemental fairy of more than half a meter height. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi couldnt help but stare nkly. Moments before, Long Haochens Demon Wiping sh already caused them to be iparably shocked, but when seeing the currently evolved Yating, they suddenly realized how much the gap between Long Haochen and themselves had increased. Even with the efforts they made over these past months they couldntpare with him. The metallic puppet wasnt intelligent, only following battle instinct. At the time Long Haochen used Assault to escape from it, it immediately chased after him, letting out resonant sounds while stepping on the ground. After closing in, it suddenly jumped up, jumping right into Long Haochens range. At the time the fifth brother saw the Light Elemental Fairy, he slowed down, filled with serious thoughts deep inside. A warrior was originally disadvantaged against a knight, but until now, this young knight didnt even summon his mount. And as for why his spiritual energy wasnt suppressed, could it be because he was actually a knight at the peak of the fifth step? _But this This is impossible! Just how old A knight at the peak of the fifth step that is below twenty years old?! This is impossible!_ Still filled with the conviction to win, the fifth brother followed closely after the metallic puppet charging at Long Haochen from behind. A dragon cry resounded in the whole field, and everyone saw a gigantic golden dragon suddenly rise from the ground, confronting this super strong metallic puppet. Long Haochen chose to meet the opponent head on, and in the instant Ascending Dragon Strike wasunched, the holy mes surrounding his body transformed into sunfire with the help of Yatings incantations. Intense light element erupted from his chest. Drawing power from the Pendant of Eternal Rest as well as his Saint Spiritual Stove, Long Haochen put the ability of the spiritual orifices possessed by Radiant Knights of the sixth step to use. _Bzz, Ss!_ A monstrous sound broke out from the sky, illuminating the whole Knight Stadium in its bright light, just like the sun appearing in the sky. The metallic puppets massive figure was melted under this dragon cry, and after being enveloped by that resplendant sacred light, it didnt appear again. Chapter 274 - Big Harvest!

Chapter 274: Big Harvest!

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The fifth brother approached at a very fast speed, and his back shone with a green luster. Violently shooting up, the intense confluence of green light behind him took the shape of a violent tiger, apanying the swings of his axes, and bombarding the golden sun that appeared in the sky. He knew that this was hisst chance. However, many things dont go as one wishes. With a sh, the golden light unexpectedly spread to all directions, causing the glistening suns radiance to vanish in an instant. The brightness was reced by a deep blue color which concentrated immediately in the sword chopping right in front of the fifth brother. A loud bang resounded. With an iparably powerful explosion, even with his cultivation level, the fifth brother was utterly incapable of contending against this domineering holy elemental spiritual energy that sent him flying over ten meters. The golden and blue light vanished, revealing Long Haochens true colors. When he appeared, he was a bit out of breath, his face visibly a little pale. But with the help of Yatings recovery magic, he rapidly recovered. After the period of probing, Long Haochen had discovered that this warrior wasnt really a match for him. The fifth brothers ability was purely based on the use of the wind elementbined with his axes. Even after using Madness, his internal and external spiritual energy couldnt possibly go above the sixth step. Long Haochen never shrank back even when confronting a demon at the sixth step, let alone the fifth brother that had yet to reach the sixth step. Without particrly powerful equipment, when confronting Long Haochen who had a Light Elemental Fairys support, he didnt have the slightest chance. Though he had that metallic puppet, it was after all a mere puppet and not a real human. Unable to amodate to changing circumstances, it was primarily reliant on physical attacks, and against the zing sunlight fire in conjunction with Ascending Dragon Strike, it was unable to unleash its full strength and melted. Long Haochensst blow was the Asura Strike that consumed an amount of thousand units of spiritual energy. Although he didnt use Storing Power inbination, Asura Strikes terrifying offensive power was still really destructive. If not for the fact Long Haochen started off lenient, the body of the fifth brother would already have been split in two. With dang dang dang dang sounds, two split axes fell to the ground. When added to Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights sharpness, how could a piece of magical equipment resist against Asura Strike? Long Haochen didnt keep fighting, only looking at the fifth brother crawling on the ground slowly. The fifth brothers current appearance was truly pitiable. His armor waspletely ravaged and destroyed from the power of Magic Wiping sh and Asura Strike, and he lost his weapons. However, still in a state of Madness, his eyes still gleamed with a blood red color. With a mad cry, he directly rushed at Long Haochen. His third brother and sixth sister were standing at the rest area with pale faces. Their brains had even lost all ability to think. Withdrawing Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and taking out his Holy Spirit Shield, Long Haochen took a step forward, readying the Holy Spirit Shield to confront him. Blocking him and causing a bacsh, he pushed the approaching fifth brother three steps back, before also retreating a step backwards. Even in a state of Madness, where the fifth brother was unable to use any abilities, his strength was still quite formidable. He didnt lose in regard to hisbat experience, but in regard of the control of his spiritual energy as well as its technical aspects. Long Haochens self-created ability and Asura Strike could be called first-rate secret techniques of their rank. Further adding his benefits as the Scion of Light, and the support of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, even though the two sides were almost at an equal level of cultivation, how could the fifth brother even stand a chance? The current fifth brother was already close to going mad. Loudly, he yelled, I cannot lose, I cannot lose! When pushed back, he immediately rushed towards Haochen again, without showing the slightest trace of faltering. In his current deranged state of mind, Long Haochen didnt need to waste any strength. He immediately rushed at him, directly pointing the Holy Spirit Sword at his neck. With a dull sound, the fifth brother simply fell to the ground. The whole stadium was in total silence. From beginning to end, this battle didntst long, and the whole process was rather simple. Suppressing his opponentpletely, Long Haochen managed a one-sided victory, giving no chance to his opponent at all. There were almost only soldier and general grade Demon Hunt Squads that came to watch this match. As a novice Demon Hunter, Long Haochen managed to defeat another Demon Hunter of the previous generation,pletely disregarding a gap of five whole years. Aside from contribution points, in this battle Long Haochen gained the acknowledgement of all those general and soldier grade Demon Hunters. The third brother and sixth sister from the eighth general grade Demon Hunt Squad walked into the stadium, lending an arm to support their fifth brother. In the end, they didnt feel resentment but were filled with frustration. Hundred thousand They lost hundred thousand contribution points! And those did not only belong to them since they had to borrow some to make the bet. Surely, this incident would affect their whole team, and cost them at least one more year to reach themander grade. And this was only caused by the decision of the three of them, without involving the other members of their team. The Temple Knight went over to Long Haochens side, passing the awarded contribution points to him, Well done! You are quite good younger brother, from which Demon Hunt Squad do youe? Long Haochen replied, The 21st general grade squad. Many thanks to you, senior referee. 110,000 minus 500 contribution points were handed over, transferring into Long Haochens contribution point tile. Frankly speaking, when seeing the expressions on the faces of the third brother and sixth sister, he felt empathy, and even thought of giving back the contribution points he gained. But in the end, he resisted. It wasnt that he didnt want to return those 100,000 contribution points, but because he couldnt encourage the eighth Demon Hunt Squad in their greedy behaviour. What would have happened if his squad didnt even manage to gain back their own contribution points? There needed to be a pitiful and a hated side, and how could they have given them a lesson if they lost? In addition, if he returned those contribution points, how would those Demon Hunters thatid a bet feel? Wouldnt they just believe that this was nothing but an attempt to deceive them all? Long live, captain Long! The members of the 21st general grade and the 4th soldier grade flocked in, rushing into the stadium, and surrounding him from all sides. Long Haochen was tossed up in the air by the group of excited youths. The third brother and the sixth sister, silently carried their fifth brother to the exit. 21st general grade, they all heard this. At the general grade They were actually already at the general grade! And this young knight was actually their captain. Lin Xin and Luc Xi quickly calcted their earnings this time, giving the Demon Hunters that gambled on Long Haochen their earnings. Of course, they were a minority. Duan Yis and Yang Wenzhaos expressions looked ugly. They received the 3,000 contribution points they gained from the bet on Hoachen, but still lost 7,000 contribution points in the final count. The original certain favorites had suffered a crushing defeat, and didnt have much left, leaving in a dejected state. Quickly, Lin Xin and Luc Xis counted the profit. This time, a total of 230,000 contribution was bet, and after handing over 30,000 of it to the winners, they made a total profit of 200,000 contribution points. The profit Luc Xi and Lin Xin made went beyond their teams total capital, and their amount of earnings were even greater than Long Haochens himself, who was the one directly involved in this. Luc Xi only got 20% of it, but even so, he gained 40,000 contribution points out of the change, whereas Long Haochen provided the members of his 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad with very rich earnings, making the total amount of contribution points of their team surpass 300,000 contribution points. Let alone general grade Demon Hunt Squads, evenmander grade Demon Hunt Squads wouldnt necessarily have so many contribution points gathered at the same time if they werent veterans. Rich, we have gotten rich for real this time! Wahah! Wahahahaha!!! Lin Xin excitedly danced and gesticted in joy. His dark green hair was flung from one side of his head to the other. Lets go. We should head back. Today wont do if we want to go to the Transaction Center. Long Haochen waved his hand, picking up Caier and leading the group back to the vi. Having won so many contribution points belonging to another Demon Hunt Squad, this was obviously not a good time for them to go to the Transaction Center. Luc Xis group left in great delight, feeling even more resolute to keep a good rtionship with the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad from now on. After Long Haochens group returned to the vi, seeing the excited Lin Xin, Long Haochens next words were, From today onwards, everyone is forbidden to leave the vi. Its self-training for the next ten days. Lin Xin started, Boss, why so serious? Long Haochen coldly swept a nce at him, If not for your betting stands, we wouldnt have to get this serious. Han Yu reacted, It was the general grade and soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads that participated in the bets that wereid. It seemed as if we cheated everyone else, and to them, a thousand contribution points is quite a huge number. Demon Hunt Squads should treat each other as friends, not enemies. The offense wemitted was too heavy, Im really afraid that we are going to get isted for that. Chen Yinger seemed unsatisfied, So it means its okay if they win, but not if we are the ones to win? Long Haochen replied, Although it wont be as severe between the new Demon Hunt Squads like us, we should still stay low-key for now. Otherwise, being isted wont feel good to us. To put it simply, if all Demon Hunters stopped selling things to us, dont you think we would get affected? Chen Yinger pouted but stayed calm. Long Haochen replied, Our contribution points reached a total amount of 300,000, so thats to say, we even possess enough contribution points to promote ourselves to themander grade. You know about Caiers condition. Until she gets better, Id prefer to avoid taking missions, and wish that everyone would strengthen themselves during the next six months, striving for the sixth step. If we seed, the next mission we will take will directly be at the level of amander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Sixth step? Except for the deaf Caier, the other five suddenly looked fixedly at Long Haochen. Lin Xin murmured to him, Boss, that is impossible. We are only at the second or third rank of the fifth step. Even if we aimed for the sixth step, Im afraid only vice-captain and you would have a chance of sess. Let alone the time of passing the bottleneck before breaking through, half a year cannot possibly be enough for us to acquire the 4,000 units of spiritual energy we arecking. Although Long Haochen was sufficiently acknowledged in the team, it was just too hard for the others to be convinced by his words. The leap from the fifth to the sixth step was after all a process of qualitative change. Long Haochen looked at the whole group, dering, And what if we add up the Holy Spirit Pills? Now that we are in possession of 300,000 contribution points, considering that those Holy Spirit Pills cost 10,000 each, all of us should have the chance to take one. And the earlier it is taken, the more effective it will be. Its perfectly suited to our current situation. Lin Xin smiled bitterly, Boss, I know what you mean. But my previous statement already took the Holy Spirit Pills into ount. Each Holy Spirit Pill will enable our spiritual energy to rise over 3,000 units, but Im afraid that aiming for 4,000 units during the span of half a year will be very challenging. Moreover, I heard that the bottleneck between the fifth and the sixth step is a lot more challenging to pass than the previous ones. There are many people who stay at this bottleneck for several years without being able to break through it. How could we do it so easily? Long Haochen went silent, seemingly pondering over something. Everyone was struck by Lin Xins words, and Sima Xian hurried to dere, Boss, theres no problem for us to train for a period of six months, and wed progress as much as we can. Anyway, with so many contribution points in our possession, there wont be any problem for us to wait for vice-captain to recover before going on the next mission. Long Haochen shook his head, I have over 70% certainty that we can break through to the sixth step within a period of half a year. Ive been thinking about it, and finally decided to share this information with you. However, I hope everyone will keep this secret. Otherwise, in case this gets out, it will give rise to greatplications, and probably cause a public panic. If this happens, our Demon Hunt Squad wont be able to keep existing. Everyones face immediately lost color at hearing this. Although Long Haochens words were always reasonable, since he took such a serious tone, this could only be a very serious matter. Sima Xian looked pressed, and couldnt help but ask, Boss, what is it about, in the end? Wang Yuanyuan who didnt mutter a single word until then suddenly raised her head, and asked, Could it be rted to the Deste Hissing Cavern That tower? Long Haochen silently nodded. Han Yu took a deep breath, Boss, I heard grandfather say that this tower was At this point, his words suddenly came to a stop, but with a resolute voice, he kept going, I swear that I wont leak out whatever secret Master tells us on this day. May heavenly punishment fall upon me, forbidding me eternally from reincarnating if i break this oath. The others also understood the gravity of the situation, and all of them aside from Caier swore an oath. They all realized the seriousness of this matter, while feeling the possibilities Long Haochens words promised. Looking at everyone around him, Long Haochen said in a stern tone, Like Yuanyuan guessed, Im speaking about that tower. In fact, I had to tell a lie to Luc Xi as well as the Alliance. With Haoyues help, I made it into this tower, and discovered in it a great secret. This tower is called Tower of Eternal Rest. As he said so, he untied the front piece of his jacket, revealing the Pendant of Eternal Melody on his chest. The Tower of Eternal Rest, known as Tower of Eternity, is something left ten thousand years ago by a necromancer called Elux. This necromancer ims the title of Holy Necromancer and Slumbering Cmity. And this Tower of Eternity is filled with a powerful aura of death. Just like the Saint Knight Head Han Qian said, their team could be called aplete team of princes and princesses, thus their knowledge was naturally a lot better than that of other people. Hearing the word necromancer from Long Haochens own mouth, everyone couldnt help but stare nkly. In the depths of their brains, a legend covered in dust seemed to instantly be recalled Chapter 275 - Collective training behind closed doors (I)

Chapter 275: Collective training behind closed doors (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The words necromancer gave too great a shock to everyone from this 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad; their faces seemed to bepletely filled with surprise. Long Haochen released a Holy Mantle, isting the room from the external world. Inside this safe area, he told them about the true details about his experiences inside the Tower of Eternity. Since he already made this decision, he didnt conceal anything from them. This whole process didnt take long: in less than half an hours time Long Haochen told them everything that really happened inside the Deste hissing Cavern, including the most minute details. In this quiet vi isted from the external sounds, Long Haochens story not only brought them a lot of surprises, but also widened their horizons. The little detail about this Holy Necromancer Elux actually turning out to possess the holy light element caused them to be in a state of utter shock. How could necromancers be affiliated with the holy light element? Long Haochen stayed silent after telling his story. He knew that hisrades would need some time to digest it. After nearly a quarter of an hour, Lin Xin finally asked in an insipid voice, Boss, are you nning on carrying on this necromancers inheritance? Long Haochen shook his head, Of course not. Regardless of whichever attribute they use, they are in the end necromancers, that formerly brought this great cmity to humanity. If not for them, we wouldnt be having such difficulties to confront the demon race. How could I ept to learn the abilities used by those necromancers? Boss, I think those words may be wrong. Sima Xian continued, Bad deeds aremitted by people and arent rted to their abilities. Even our current abilities could be used to kill people, couldnt they? Necromancers were an evil group, but if their abilities could be used for the right thing too. For example to handle demons, I believe that there would be nothing wrong with that. Since this Holy Necromancer chose you as his sessor, I believe you shouldnt let such a good asion slip by. As long as it can help us exterminate the demons, whats the problem? We cant. Han Yu eagerly intercepted, Sima, donte up with such a rotten idea. Although what you said makes sense, necromancers are in the endpletely rejected by our Alliance. If Captain were to learn necromancy the Alliance would definitely not ept it. Captain is the Scion of Light! The future hope of our Knight Temple lies with him. He will inevitably be a Divine Knight in the future. Dont tell me you believe that Divine Knights could be weaker than necromancers? Chen Yingers mouth twitched, How about just not letting the Alliance know about it? I dont see any problem with having one more asset to our strength. Like it could be rarely seen, Wang Yuanyuan opposed to this idea, I agree with Han Yu. After all, we are living in the Alliance, and with captains dispositions, not learning necromancy wont affect his future growth so we should rather not take risks. Two against two. All looks unawarely wandered in Lin Xins direction. Dont look at me, Im neutral on the subject. Ill just support Captain in his choice whatever it is. Lin Xin spread out his hands with an indifferent face. Long Haochen kept calm, listening to hisrades words. Inwardly, he thought that even if there was some approval and some opposition, this was after all about whether to learn necromancy or not, and so far there wasnt any extreme opposition to necromancy itself. Dont worry everyone. Just like Han Yu said, I believe that the path of bing a Divine Knight wouldnt necessarily be inferior to that of a necromancer. I just dont n to learn it for now. The reason why I told you about this Tower of Eternity was to tell you that regardless of whether necromancy is learned or not, the Tower of Eternity is an exceptionally good training ce. The technique I used to kill the Fiend Commander of the sixth step and to defeat the fifth brother is called Asura Strike. It is a skill that I got during my first test in there, after defeating a skeleton. And those tests will be of great benefit to our spiritual energys progress.Using the Tower of Eternity will help us increase our pace of progress to the sixth step enormously. Hearing these words, the five of them looked at each other. They were excited from the depths of their hearts when they heard this and their reservations slowly melted. How could they feel fear about the fact that the Tower of Eternity was closely rted to the necromancers and not take advantage? Its tests offered many ways to improve ones strength. If it had been someone other than Haochen, or even themselves, would they have possibly shared this secret with others? Everyone was unable to give a definite answer to this question, but Long Haochen had shared all of it. How couldnt they feel moved by such a selfless act from him? Sima Xian was usually straightforward, and very direct with his words, Boss, we are really lucky to have such a captain as you. Rest at ease, the secret of the Tower of Eternity will be sure to remain among us. We wont tell anyone, even our own masters. The others nodded with resolution . The Tower of Eternity had be their collective secret. They were determined to make sure that this secret would forever be kept. Long Haochen smiled in response, Okay, since things are like this, let us set the training in the Tower of Eternity as our primary goal. However, before this, everyones strength will need to be raised as much as possible. The first floor of the Tower of Eternity is already directed at powerhouses of the sixth step, and although we are forming a team, its still hard to tell which challenges we will be meeting. For your own safety, we should at least let your strength progress first. Yuanyuan, you will go to the Transaction Center buy seven Holy Spirit Pills that can increase our spiritual energy by 1,000 in ten days. You will all take one, and during the subsequent period, everyone is to approach the progress of their respective spiritual energy in consideration of their faculty of understanding, to make it really be a part of your strength. We have enough contribution points, so everyone should at least buy two pieces of equipment at the Glorious Tier. After your equipment is improved, we will finally be ready to enter the Tower of Eternity to start our training. As for the rest, it will depend on the results we obtain inside the Tower. Lin Xin looked anxious, Boss, arent pieces of Glorious Tier Equipment a bit too expensive? Even the most average ones are worth 5,000 contribution points! Long Haochen chuckled in response, What a money grubber you are! Although Glorious Equipment is quite costly, its effects are a lot stronger than Spiritual Tier equipment. If we can raise to the sixth step, Spiritual Tier Equipment will be of limited use to us. But, well be able to use Glorious Tier Equipement at least until the seventh step. Although our finances dont allow us to be equipped entirely, it should be okay to get two pieces of equipment for each of us. Your Fire Cloud Crystal Staff is already good enough, but if it needs an upgrade you can exchange it. There are also specialized refineries at the side of the center, so we will take care of everything on the same asion. Lin Xin said with a sigh, It looks like our supply of contribution points isnt going tost for long. Wang Yuanyuan reacted unhappily, What a scrooge you are! We are a Demon Hunt Squad, so earning contribution points is supposed to be for raising our strength. Earning contribution points is only meaningful if it enables us to improve. Come on, transfer your contribution points. The Holy Spirit Pills couldnt be purchased at once, as there were only three of those powerful pills avable at the Transaction Center, but they could be ordered. The first to enjoy the benefits of this pill were Chen Yinger and Sima Xian who had the lowest cultivation level among them, and Caier who was the most fitted to focus on cultivating her spiritual energy after losing four of her senses. After making use of the Holy Spirit Pills, the three of them immediately entered their closed-door training, raising their own strength as they absorbed the medicine. Ordinarily, seven days were needed to absorb this Holy Spirit Pill, but Long Haochens instruction was to stay training in seclusion for at least half a month. This way they could have a betterprehension of their spiritual energy after the increase. Over the following month, the four others also received their Holy Spirit Pills. Outside of the vi appeared a board with the words Do not disturb!, because aside from Long Haochen, all the seven members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were in a state of secluded meditation. Long Haochen also trained in seclusion, but didnt take the Holy Spirit Pill yet. This was for the simple reason that his spiritual energy had already reached the peak of the fifth step in this short period, and that he started to aim for passing the bottleneck of the sixth step. This Holy Spirit Pill would have to wait for him to break past it to be of use. As he became more and more familiar with the Pendant of Eternal Melody, Haochen discovered more of its secrets. Although so far, he could only use its supportive effects, he came to realize that because his cultivation level was currently insufficient, he was unable topletely exploit the Eternal Melodys abilities. But even so, the Eternal Melodys effects were quite good. With such a formidable piece of equipment, the light essence surrounding Long Haochens body was multiplied by three timespared to normal. And more mysteriously, this Eternal Melody made this light essence be purer, giving an incredible boost to Long Haochens cultivation. Further adding the help of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, he was certain that his current cultivation speed was at least five times faster than that of an ordinary knight. Otherwise, he couldnt possibly have taken just a little more than a month to raise his spiritual energy from 3,700 to 4,000. And now, he was battling against the bottleneck of the sixth step. They temporarily didnt go to buy equipment, because it wouldnt be of use to them at the moment. The most important thing was to raise their cultivation. Having gone through many challenging battles, all of the youths from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad had some progress in their cultivation. First of all, Caiers internal spiritual energy already reached 3,700 after taking the Holy Spirit Pill, and she was at most merely a few months away from reaching the bottleneck just like Long Haochen. Even the weakest of them, Chen Yinger, reached an approximate spiritual energy level of 3,200. For the first time they enjoyed the benefits of their amassed contribution points. In fact, newly formed Demon Hunt Squads that could, like them, afford to take seven Holy Spirit Pills at once were extremely rare. Of course, it was now the case for another one, which was the iparably profiteering 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad. They were also training behind closed doors, after Long Haochen ced an order of six Holy Spirit Pills for them, which took about a month to arrive. Meanwhile, they werent the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad anymore, but the new 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Originally, a few of them were still stuck at the 4th step of cultivation, but afterpleting the mission of Exploring the Deste Hissing Cavern, their strength rose greatly, and finally all the members made the breakthrough to the fifth step after training behind closed doors. And after taking the Holy Spirit Pills, they went into closed-door training again. Now, the 22nd Demon Hunt Squads strength was also raising tremendously, and their speed of progress wasnt even inferior to that of Long Haochens group for the moment. Chapter 276 - Collective training behind closed doors (II)

Chapter 276: Collective training behind closed doors (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In the blink of an eye, three months passed and everyone returned from their secluded training, their spiritual energy reaching apletely new level. After three months, Caiers internal spiritual energy had risen to 3,850, and Han Yus to 3,670. Sima Xians reached a number of more than 3,500 by relying on his new internal spiritual energy level of eighty, but Wang Yuanyuan, whose spiritual energy also broke past 3,500, was still a bit ahead of him. Lin Xin was at 3,660, and Chen Yinger was at 3,320. The whole team had sessfully reached the seventh rank of the fifth step. However, during those three months, Long Haochen didnt manage to break through to the sixth step, and was still at the bottleneck between the fifth and the sixth step. This was naturally not because he wasnt mustering enough effort, but because his attention was constantly being diverted. Every time he entered into a state of meditation, the memories he acquired from the Tower of Eternity would naturally flow into his mind, interrupting him every time. This was something that he couldnt control even if he wanted to, thus he was unable to focus on his training in such a state. Of course, Long Haochen wasnt willing to learn necromancy, but during the first month of seclusion, he was constantly struggling against himself. In the end, he still had to yield, because if he didnt ept to learn this necromancy magic, he wouldnt be able to cultivate at all, and would probably never break through his bottleneck. Breaking through a bottleneck required him to concentrate his attentionpletely on the matter at hand, but with those memories bursting forth and bothering him intentionally, how could he focus his attention? Completely helpless, Long Haochen could only ept this reality reluctantly. By chance, the memories that the Tower of Eternity forced into him werent painful, and as long as he was willing to learn a skill or study a mystery, they would temporarily stop appearing. From the looks of it, Elux wanted him to master the subject via aprehensive study of surrounding areas. Long Haochen had never thought that such a severe teacher would one day be entering his consciousness. But what could he do about it? Unable to resist, he could only bear with it. During the second month, he patiently tried to break past this bottleneck, but the difficulty of reaching the sixth step from the fifth was truly astonishing. Through the Saint Spiritual Stove, he felt that his spiritual cavities had already started to take shape, and that he was just a tiny step away. Long Haochen continuously went through the cycle of using Storing Power and attacking, using Storing Power and attacking But he still didnt seed in breaking through this bottleneck. Until the third month, his spiritual cavities had yet to form, but Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove seemed to be close to evolving. In his body, a little chaotic area had emerged, signaling that the Saint Spiritual Stove was also just a step away from evolving, visibly needing him to break through the sixth step to aplish that. These past months could be said to be a total torment to Long Haochen, but they didnt pass without benefits. His cultivation speed had been very fast, but for this very reason, his roots werent steady enough. After finishing those three months of closed-door training, his spiritual energy was now steady, and his mastery of it more profound. Many aspects of his body had adjusted to better match his abilities. In fact it wasnt impossible for him to progress after reaching this bottleneck. It was just that as long as one didnt break through, the spiritual energy one would gain from cultivating would usually vanish. But this wasnt the case for Long Haochen. The fact that he couldnt absorb it didnt mean that the same applied to his Light Elemental Fairy and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light that were stored in his body! Thus, this period of three months also came with advantages for him. But obviously, passing the bottleneck andpleting the second evolution of his Saint Spiritual Stove wasnt a matter of a few hours. While Long Haochen cultivated, Haoyue was fast asleep. He had previously eaten arge amount of magical crystals, and was now focusing his attention on absorbing their energy. Now that he had time to rest, his strength naturally kept growing. But right at that time, their closed-door training was forcefully interrupted. Urgent news arrived from the side of the Demon Hunt Mission Tower, regarding apulsory war mission. All the Demon Hunt Squads staying in Holy City had to participate in it. If they wouldnt, ten thousand contribution points would be taken from each member of a general grade squad as a penalty, and the higher the grade, the greater would this penalty be. This sort of War Mission was an extremely rare urrence, only happening at times when the Alliance was facing a big crisis, forcing them to issue apulsory marching order. The price for those who didnt want to participate would be considerable. Although Long Haochens team was rich enough to afford this penalty, this would still be a penalty of 60,000 contribution points. Though the retainer knight Han Yu didnt have to be counted in, this was still something they were unwilling to bear. After discussing it with hisrades, Long Haochen proceeded towards the Mission Tower to ept this mission, which gave three days to all Demon Hunt Squads to rest and reorganize. Though, the precise details of the mission had yet to be made known to the public. The seven members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad gathered in the lounge of the vi. Sima Xin revealed a malicious smile, War Missions are also good! My cultivation level has just greatly increased; its the perfect time to try it out against those little demons. As he said this, he showed off his arms muscture with a big gesture. Long Haochen spoke, Since everyone is present, let us move on. Lin Xin, what is our total amount of contribution points? Lin Xin didnt need to check and directly gave an answer, We have still 245,823 contribution points left. I sold the magical crystals and demon corpses we brought back that werent of use to us, which increased our amount of contribution points again. Long Haochen nodded, All good. Then, it is the time to proceed for the Transaction Center. We will have to head out for this War Mission soon, and this time, Im afraid its level of difficulty and danger should be no lower than that of the Deste Hissing Cavern. We shouldnt insist on saving money as we will only need a hundred thousand contribution points to promote our Demon Hunt Squads grade. We should try to use up the leftover 150,000 contribution points today. After arriving at the center, look for the equipment youll need for yourself, everyone. We will limit ourselves to the Glorious Tier and above. If there is something you want, inform Lin Xin immediately. Theres no need to inform me, just directly buy it. Lin Xin, you are in charge of checking on what they picked: everyone should at least find one piece Glorious Equipment fitting himself. We cannot be stingy with our money at such a time! Dont forget to buy stuff fitting for yourselves, understood everyone? Yes, Captain! Everyone except from Caier replied in a loud voice. Who would be unwilling to buy powerful equipment!? Even at the Glorious Tier, 160,000 contribution points would be enough to buy over a dozen quality goods. This was one of the benefits of their many contribution points. After epting the mission, Long Haochens immediate decision to look for equipment to buy was the best choice. Their Demon Hunt Squad would obviously not be the only one in need of equipment, and the other teams were definitely about to do the same to increase their strength. Being a step ahead would offer them arger choice. Walking into the Transaction Center, Long Haochen asked Lin Xin, How is our storage of pills? Lin Xin replied with a smile, Plentiful! We have forty-two Great Recovery Pills, twenty five Bloodthirsty and Spiritual Bursting Pills. Also we have the two types of pills I have created recently, the Energetical Pill, and the other is called Pill of Ferocity. I used the Grand Fiends magical crystals and their materials to make Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, which can connect the users spiritual energies for a certain time. When the spiritual energy pours into each other, it will change into the attribute of the specific user. Its just like the Great Fiend Cavalries conjoined attacks, but the duration will be limited to three minutes. And this thing was really costly to do, so I have only been able to make two batches of seven of it, enabling us to use it twice. Considering our current strength, when the seven of us enter in a conjoined mode, our spiritual energy should surpass 20,000, enabling us to be a match to some extent for a powerhouse of the eighth step. Long Haochen asked with doubts, But what if, after using these Conjoined Spiritual Pills, the one who gathers everyone elses spiritual energy cannot bear this massive pressure? Lin Xincently replied, Ive already thought of this. Through these pills, I managed to solve this problem that even the Fiends themselves didnt manage to solve. It touches upon how to take the conjoined pills. When the one who gathers the spiritual energy takes his Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill, he should at the same time take an Energetical Pill, strengthening his body to a great extent, which will naturally increase his capability tounch stronger attacks. Furthermore, these Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills wont put the whole burden on a single person out of the seven of us. And the one in charge of gathering it will only receive power ording to his own bodys limits. For instance, considering your ability Boss, there should be no problem for you to reach a total of 10,000 units of spiritual energy after taking one of my Energetic Pills. Though battling against an opponent at the eighth step was mere drivel, there should be no problem to put up a fight against one at the seventh step. Seeing his proud face, Long Haochen couldnt help but reveal a smile, It looks that your narcissism has its basis. Though I dont really like to praise you, I really have no choice but to say that you are a real genius! Hahaha, thats a matter of course! Just as expected, after being praised, someone immediately became so pleased as to lose his sense of measure. Sima Xian interrupted him, Has-drug-bro, take attention, Li Xin ising. Eh? Where is she, where? Lin Xin suddenly exercised restraint, quitting his previous arrogant state to look more reasonable and appealing. Scrutinizing the surroundings, he looked for Li Xins figure. To summarize it, over the past months, Lin Xin and Li Xins rtionship had advanced pretty well. Although the two of them didnt meet a lot because of their respective closed-door training, through his shameless and formidable harassment Lin Xin forced Li Xin to admit the status of their rtionship. However, this led to the appearance of a new symptom on Lin Xin, making him an intensely henpecked male! Upon seeing Li Xin, he was just like a mouse seeing a cat. Maybe this was a residual effect of the time Li Xin forced a kiss on him, but the sure thing was that he treated her very well, secretly pressing her to ept quite a lot of his pills, though Li Xin, who was unwilling to take advantage of him, gave him the corresponding amount of contribution points every time. Dammit! This bald male! You dared fool me, be careful that I dont give you false drugs next time! Unable to find Li Xin, Lin Xin immediately shouted furiously at Sima Xian. Sima Xianughed joyfully, Believe what you want, but hey, I once heard Li Xin say that she loathes narrow-minded people the most, and that she likes the most kind-hearted and innocent guys like our captain, well-disposed and promising youths.

Chapter 277: Collective training behind closed doors (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin snorted twice sessively, Then thats just like me. Sima Xian replied, But havent you just been threatening people? If you make fake drugs for me to take, hehe, I may have a nice chat about it with Li Xin. On the basis of your shy appearance, how about trying to see whether Li Xin would believe it if I made up a story about one of your ex-girlfriends? You Okay you win this time. Bro is terrified. Lin Xin revealed an indignant expression, finally stopping to pay attention to Sima Xian. Seeing his current face, the others couldnt help but have a goodugh. Speaking of it, boss, after Luc Xi heard that I could make the Conjoined Boosting Pills, he expressed his desire to buy a batch of them for 1,000 contribution points, providing his own materials. Tell me, should I ept or not? Long Haochen asked, How long would you need to make these pills? Lin Xin replied, About ten days. During our trip from Holy City to the battlefield, we should be travelling on horseback and I should have the time to make them. Im just unable to guarantee that Ill definitely be sessful. Long Haochen gave his response with a nod, Then lets give it a try. Individual strength is negligible on the battlefield, thus having another familiar team around to which they could trust their backs was definitely a good thing. Plus, this could only increase the chance of survival for both of their teams. And during those three months of self-training, Luc Xis strength also increased quite dramatically. Although it could still notpare with Long Haochens group, in regard to the fact that Long Haochens group still had yet to break through to the sixth step, the gap between them had truly narrowed over this period. Of course, this was considering that Long Haochens group had yet to purchase new equipment. As they finished talking to each other, they arrived at the Transaction Center. After entering, they immediately headed to the second floor. Although the first floor also contained some precious equipment, it was too few in number. But at the second floor, at least half of the sold equipment was at the Glorious Tier. It was just that the total quantity of equipment sold there was lower than at the first floor. Showing their general grade insignia, the seven passed through the guards of the second floor, and for the sake of saving time, they immediately dispersed, in search for equipment fitting themselves. Everyone had different needs for equipment. Among them, the one who was the least in need for new equipment with supplementary effects was Chen Yinger, who had been mainly relying on her contracted beasts ability ever since she got it. But she was unsure as for how to strengthen this little pig. Generally, the only solution she had to increase her fighting strength was to increase her spiritual energy, thus she looked for the kind of equipment that would enable her to increase her spiritual energy, steady her mental capacity and also offer a bit of defense. The ones who were the most in need for new equipment were Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian. Sima Xian bore the role of a warrior in the team, but was still d in a priest gown. Wang Yuanyuan also never wore full-armor, her only true equipment being the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Inparison to them, Han Yu and Lin Xin were not that pressed to find new equipment; they were all right with any choice improving their status, though they were not going to pick any random pieces of new equipment. Lin Xins Fire Cloud Crystal Staff was already refitted at a specialized ce, bing a fire elemental staff at the peak of the Glorious Tier. He was originally already the richest one in the group, and the gown he was d in was already at the Spiritual Tier. Separating from hisrades, Long Haochen carried Caier, searching in an area of the second floor. Every floor of the Transaction Center was separated in two areas, with one for the Transaction Centers equipment and goods, and one where Demon Hunters would put their own equipment and goods for sale. Long Haochen first went to look at the goods the Transaction Center had for sale, nning to have Caier pick a personal armor for herself. Already having her golden dagger with the ability to pierce through any armour, it waspletely unnecessary for Caier to change her weapon, which was already at the Glorious Tier. For her left hand, she had the Dagger of Samsara, so she could do without changing any of her weapons. But defense was Caiers weak point. Seeing them approach the sales counter, the staff member of the Transaction Center weed them respectfully, Hello, how may I help you? After thinking for a bit, Long Haochen replied, I want to buy an armor at the Glorious Tier usable for assassins, as well as essory equipment for assassins. The staff member nodded, and replied, Please wait a moment. Afterwards, he turned around, walked inside a separated area, and came back a momentter with a thick file in his hand. Respected Demon Hunter, I just checked a moment ago, and found four armors in ordance to your criterias, and three essories. Please pick your choices. After this was said, he opened the thick file, rapidly turning the pages, on which a detailed presentations of the armors and goods could be seen. Long Haochen took Caiers hand, looking at those presentations as he wrote some words on her palm. Each of the four armors had particr features, cing emphasis on different aspects. The first mainly attached importance to raising ones spiritual energy, but was more fitting to assassins using the fire element, as a gem of the fire attribute was iid in it. Caiers attribute was very particr. She was not a user of the fire attribute, but was more urately a user of the destruction attribute and the death attribute. This was a change that the Dagger of Samsara produced in her, making this elemental armor unsuited for her. Among the other three, another one had the same problem, which eliminated it as possible choice. Among thest two armours, one increased defense and enabled the user to use his own spiritual energy for protection, producing a defensive powerparable to an elemental shield. In addition, it had an ability called Hardness. The chest, the belly and the backs crucial parts could at least bear three attacks of powerhouses of the sixth step while staying undamaged. The other one increased the assassins offensive power, boosting ones rate of spiritual energy gathering. Although it only reinforced this aspect, through the fact that it was ssified as Glorious Tier Equipment, the efficiency of this spiritual energy gathering could be appropriately valued. It would boost an assassins offensive power by a factor of two or three tenth. After telling Caier about the two types of equipment, the two came to an disagreement. Long Haochen was inclined towards the Hardness Armor, whereas Caier prefered the Spiritual Gathering Armor. Because Caier could neither hear nor see, the exchange between the two of them happened as they wrote on each others palms. Just as they were arguing with each other, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind them. Excuse me, are you Captain Long? Long Haochen turned his head, seeing a youth, who was several years older than him. Judging based on his appearance he was probably twenty-seven or twenty-eight years-old. This young man was tall, at least a head taller than Long Haochen. Which made him already close to Sima Xian in height, since even though Long Haochen wasnt fully grown yet, he was still close to 1.8 meter in height. But he didnt look as imposing as Sima Xian. Having broad shoulders and a broad back, standing in a straight posture he still carried a gentle and elegant atmosphere. When he stood face to face with Long Haochen, describing him as handsome was a bit hard, but his appearance could rtively be described as pretty good. Physiologically a bit round, his gentle eyes gave others the impression of an honest and considerate person. Hello, you are? Long Haochen asked with doubt. The young man cordially replied, I am the captain of the eighth general grade Demon Hunt Squad, and my name is Zhang Fangfang. Salutations to the two of you. Captain Long, may I exchange a few words with you. Hearing the words eighth general, Long Haochen unawarely wrinkled his brows, the matter already happened three months ago. Could it be that this person came today to look for trouble? But this did note as surprise, they had after all lost an amount of 100,000 contribution points! No one would stay calm and collected after this loss. So you are Captain Zhang. Hello, I am Long Haochen. Please speak. Although some thoughts came to Long Haochens mind, he still kept a polite attitude. No matter what reaction the other party would have, everyone was after all from Demon Hunt Squads. Zhang Fangfang dered, I came to apologize to Captain Long today. Why are you two hiding? The second sentence was directed at their backs, and in an instant, brought a severe expression to his gentle face. Two people came in front of him, somewhat unwilling. Seeing Long Haochen their expressions were clearly unsightly. They were precisely the fifth brother and sixth sister from the eighth general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Zhang Fangfang gave them a meaningful nce, and those two bowed to salute Long Haochen, and the fifth brother revealed a bitter smile, Sorry, Captain Long, we shouldnt have attempted to cheat you. We were in the wrong. We pledge that this wont happen ever again, so please excuse us. Long Haochen shook his head, The matter is already in the past, and you were the ones who suffered the most from it. How could the two of you be the ones to apologize. Zhang Fangfang replied, No, we had to apologize to you no matter what. I originally nned oning to see Captain Long a lot earlier, but seeing the sign that you were training behind closed-doors, we waited for this moment. About the contribution points they lost, it was their deserved punishment, but this was also my fault for not having raised them better. As their captain, I cannot shrink from my responsibility. I have to apologize once again to Captain Long. As he said this, he bowed to Long Haochen, but looked a lot more serious than the fifth brother and his sixth sister, literally bending over at ny degrees. This attitude immediately changed Long Haochens impression of the eighth general grade Demon Hunt Squad greatly. Hurriedly supporting Zhang Fangfang with his hand, he dered, Captain Zhang, please dont be like that. This matter is already over. Zhang Fangfang straightened his posture, and said with a sigh, Im not worried of Captain Longs mocking. Im afraid our Demon Hunt Squad could be considered the most out of luck in History. In the past, shortly after we formed our team, we were cheated by another Demon Hunt Squad in the same way they tried to to use on you. It was a very important amount of 5,000 contribution points that we lost from that incident, which almost caused us to fall apart. After getting back on the right track with a lot of difficulty, such a thing actually happened. To be frank, I wanted to quit the position as captain at multiple times, but after spending such a long time together with myrades, everyone felt affection for this squad. How could I really abandon it so easily? Please dont bear grudges for their actions; I have already lectured them on it. Long Haochen came to a sudden realization. So actually, they had been cheated like this in the past. Although his impression towards the fifth brother and the sixth sister wasnt good, he had a good opinion of this Captain Zhang. If it was just him, maybe he would have returned those contribution points, but he was now the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad, who had to take hisrades interest into consideration , so he naturally couldnt bring himself to do this. Chapter 278 - Changing equipment, Glorious Tier (I)

Chapter 278: Changing equipment, Glorious Tier (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Zhang Fangfang wasnt a twisted person, and seeing Long Haochens hesitant look, he frankly dered, Although this matter caused a conflict between our Demon Hunt Squads, something good still came out of it. Didnt it enable me to get to know such a young talent as Captain Long? During the war that is about to begin, as general grade Demon Hunt Squads, maybe we will be allocated to somemon tasks. At this time, I hope Captain Long will condone our former problems, and that we can join forces against our mutual enemy, fighting the demons side by side. Long Haochen smiled, nodding in response, That will be only natural. Only the demons are our true enemy. After nodding to Long Haochen, Zhang Fangfang led his tworades to the exit. Seeing his leaving figure, Long Haochen sank into deep thoughts. Due to his mental ability surpassing that of ordinary people, his ability to judge through observing people was extremely good. He could tell that this Captain Zhang wasnt putting on an act, but sincerely apologized. This person was quite remarkable! Being so open-minded. But for still being stuck at the general grade after five years, it seemed that they were truly unlucky. If there was some opportunity to support them during the iing War Mission, he truly wished to be able to join forces with them. Boss, why were you apologizing!? Even though we were wrong, that kid robbed us of hundred thousand contribution points! And a part of this are contribution points we have to hand back before long. The fifth brother unhappilyined to Zhang Fangfang. Wearing a serious face, Zhang Fangfang said, Fifth brother, youre still not realizing your mistake? Tell me, what is good within the two of you? Do you know how hard we brothers had to work to gain those hundred thousand contribution points? This Captain Long is far from being ordinary. Remember that you have to forget the whole grudge you are bearing. The War Mission is about to begin shortly. Although this urgent War Mission will be extremely dangerous, it will also be an opportunity for us The fifth brother didnt want to keep disputing, but the sixth sister was the one to interrupt him, Boss is right, this Captain Long is really not ordinary. From his appearance, he is under twenty years old, but he defeated you fair and square when you were already doing your utmost. I estimate that he was at least at the fifth step of cultivation. Even if he didnt break through to the sixth step yet, he should be amongst the strongest of his generation with the support of his Light Elemental Fairy. Given enough time to grow, this sort of knight will definitely advance in strength by leaps and bounds. Zhang Fangfang sighed lightly, If only you had realized this earlier. Or had at least checked the opponents antecedents, then your defeat wouldnt have been so miserable. I specially investigated on this Captain Longs antecedents. He was the champion of this years individual Demon Hunt Squad Competition, and the team he led also ended up first in the teampetition. And they managed to advance to the general grade withoutpleting a single official mission. From those three pieces of information alone it can be seen that he isnt someone you should have provoked. You should just let go of this matter, anyway, our bad luck is not a matter of this one time. The fifth brother and the sixth sister lowered their heads, and the fifth brothers eyes turned red, Boss, I was in the wrong. Because of me, our team sunk into such an awkward situation yet again. Im really sorry everyone, I Zhang Fangfang was in reality younger than the fifth brother, but he patted the fifth brothers shoulder like an elder brother would do, The matter is already over, dont tell me that ming you would bring our contribution points back? I just hope you will not be so impetuous again when doing things, at least it taught you a good lesson. Caier finally couldnt convince Long Haochen, who put on a rarely seen tough front, finally buying this Hardness Armor costing 8,000 contribution points for Caier. Afterwards, he also bought her a Ne of Invisibility at the Glorious Tier. This Ne of Invisibility could enable her to hide her presence even more perfectly, twisting the space to produce an effect of invisibility. Caier could originally obviously not really make herself invisible, but relied on the terrain to conceal herself. True invisibility where the user could move in an invisible state could only be learned starting from the seventh step of cultivation. This Ne of Invisibility would undoubtedly increase her chances to survive on the battlefield by a great margin, additionally improving the ability to hide herself that she already possessed to an even higher level. Because of being an ornament, this ne was even rarer than the other pieces of external armor, costing a whole 12,000 contribution points to be bought. So far, 20,000 contribution points had already been spent to increase Caiers strength. Long Haochen wasnt intending to buy too many things for himself. As the captain, he had to set a good example, and thus, headed back after buying these two pieces of equipment for Caier without intending to buy anything else. Just like Long Haochen had anticipated, the number of Demon Hunters flocking into the Transaction Center kept increasing. The official goods were at a fixed price, but the prices of the other Demon Hunters would rapidly skyrocket because of the increase of demand. Lin Xin didnt go to buy things, but again took the role of a seller in that instant. In the end, he was the one to sell the highest amount of things on the whole second floor of the Transaction Center. Since Long Haochen didnt n on buying anything, he came to his side together with Caier to take a look. Lin Xin was his usual self, selling drugs, and doing so at quite a high price. The main part of it consisted of Jade Protection Pills, which he originally called Energy Pills, able to increase ones external spiritual energy by five hundred. But there were also Spiritual Bursting Pills and Spiritual Recovery Pills. Because they possessed the Great Recovery Pills and Energetic Pills, the pills Lin Xin was selling were useless to Long Haochens group. As for the Spiritual Bursting Pills, twenty of them were already enough for them. Long Haochen was truly astute, taking out his own inventory to put it on sale there. Lin Xins pills could visibly notpare to the ones sold in the Transaction Center, but how expansive were the pills sold by the officials? The Holy Spirit Pills costing 10,000 each were considered cheap among them Alchemists were truly scarce, which made the produced pills the rarest goods within the Transaction Center. And now that a War Mission was about to begin, a fitting pill would very possibly give one better chances of survival. This led to the increasing prices of the pills Lin Xin put on sale. In his stock, Jade Protection Pills were the most numerous. And at this time, their price had already risen to four hundred contribution points for one. Contribution points could in fact not be used like gold coins. Killing a single Dark Green Dual ded Demon only brought ten contribution points and no more. Four hundred contribution points was simply no small amount. But during this mission, the Demon Hunt Squads were mostly at the general grade. Thus, the customers were numerous, and although they were costly, they still sold out at fast speed. As for Spiritual Bursting Pills, they were directly sold at a price of 1,000 contribution points for one, and 600 for Spiritual Recovery Pills. And this was already a bargain. To quote Lin Xins own words, it was already out of consideration for the fact that everyone were Demon Hunters that bro didnt open an auction. As a matter of course, Long Haochen didnt stop him. Although Lin Xin was a bit taking advantage of the situation, selling the pills they didnt need would increase everyones chances of survival on the battlefield, which could at least be considered a good thing. After all, contribution points were gained by killing, whereas goods for recovery were for saving lives. It took a whole afternoon for everyones purchases to be done. Captain, we are done. Lets head back then. All theirrades being gathered at Long Haochens side, they were all smiling while looking at him and Caier. Seeing their appearance, Long Haochen felt something amiss, but didnt know what it was. On Lin Xins side, he was done selling his pills, when everyone returned, heading back to the vi to get some rest. Having returned to the vi, Long Haochen told everyone, Stay for a moment everyone, and show what you bought to the others. This will be a good asion to get familiar with everyones new equipment. This time, their targets of purchase were pieces of Glorious Tier Equipment, which would all bring a considerable boost to their own strength, producing some change to their abilities. Getting familiar with those changes would enable them to preserve their mutual understanding. Lin Xin spoke, Let me be the first. I bought consumable goods. Bro cannot attack, but bro has drugs, and I used all the money I got from selling the pills for buying magical scrolls. At the crucial times, this man will be able to be of some use too. Among them are ten scrolls of the fifth step and five scrolls of the sixth step, as well as a scroll of the seventh step which I spent 10,000 contribution for. I will tell everyone the specific details when we will be on our way to the battlefield. Regarding the equipment I didnt buy anything. With the Fire Cloud Staffs amplification, I dont really need anything more at least until breaking through to the sixth step. Long Haochen nodded, Okay, and you, Yuanyuan? Wang Yuanyuan replied, My Divine Soul Shield is a weapon so I didnt need anything more on this aspect, especially ounting that Im not good with defense. Id rather prefer using my two hands for my shield, which is why my weapon didnt change. But I bought a spatial attribute armor at the Glorious Tier, called Spatial Guardian, which cost a total of 32,000 contribution points. At this point, she turned a bit red. During this time of purchase, her armor was the most costly thing they bought. Long Haochen smiled, What supplementary ability does it possess? Wang Yuanyuan replied, It can condense a Spatial Shield of the fifth step, only needing me to invest a fifth of my spiritual energy just like spatial mages would do, to release its magic. At the same time it increases my amount of spiritual energy by three tenth, and its partially made out of mythril, increasing my strength in all regards. Long Haochen gave a thumbs up, Good purchase! If this armor was bought outside of the Transaction Center, Im afraid it would have had an astronomical price. Yuanyuan has a keen eye! Wang Yuanyuan smiled, I can at least use it up to the seventh step, so I wont change armor until then Clearly, she was very satisfied with her new spatial Guardian Armor. Long Haochen asked, Anything else you have bought? Wang Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue, replying, This already cost over 30,000 contribution points. Buying something else would be overspending Long Haochen continued, And the others? Who wants to go first? Chen Yinger raised her hand, My turn! My turn! I havent bought anything costly either, just some pills for magical beasts to be fed. This was something that has-drug-bro couldnt make, and I believed my McDull would need it to advance. I only spent a total of 4,000 contribution points! Chapter 279 - Exchange, Glorious Grade (II)

Chapter 279: Exchange, Glorious Grade (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Han Yu said, I bought a shield at the Glorious Tier, called Absolute Reflection, able tounch a threeyered light elemental shield. Its defensive power even surpasses Divine Obstruction, and enables the user to deflect the magic shot at it. I havent bought anything else aside from this. I spent a total of 11,000 contribution points Now came Sima Xians turn, Boss, I may have bought a bit too much, please dont me me! You were right, I cannot keep on wearing the magical robe of a priest, so I bought an armor to cover the upper half of my body. It is called Holy Power, and can increase my external spiritual energy by a thousand while possessing a Prolonging ability, which can extend the duration of all physical abilities. This is very helpful for my Madness mode. And I changed my weapon, take a look. This new weapon almost took up the whole space of my storage ring, hehe. As he said this, he smiled very satisfied. With a golden sh on his hand, an intense light broke out in the surrounding, and a massive object appeared in his hands. This item was truly extreme. Looking at him, even Long Haochens eyes were wide open, as he murmured, This is too violent! Sima Xian replied with augh, Boss, I am walking on the path of violence! With my external spiritual energy being naturally greater than that of ordinary people, and further adding this Holy Power that increases my external energy by a thousand, not using this kind of weapon would be a shame. The weapon in his hand was indeed particr. Simply said, it was an enormous metallic ball. This item didnt have any gaudy aspect, having a diameter of one meter. This elemental ball was extremely glossy, distributing concentrated fluctuations of light. Even with a physique such as Sima Xians, carrying it was visibly strenuous. Although he didnt know which material this was made off, it should at least weigh five hundred kilograms. Sima Xian proudly introduced his new partner, This weapon is called Energetic Light Ball, and to be frank, my luck was pretty good. Because no one needed this item, I got it for a low cost, only spending 16,000 contribution points for it. In fact, it is ted with ayer of refined gold, and reaches the absolute peak of equipment at the Glorious Tier. Other pieces of equipment of this level would cost at least 30,000 contribution points. My Energetic Light Ball carries a supplementary ability called Crush. Its just that I havent tried out this ability yet, but the Energetic Light Balls core is said to be the magical crystal of a magical beast of the seventh step. I bought it from the officials at the Transaction Center, and have been told there that if this magical crystal was exchanged for one at the eighth step, this Energetic Light Ball would immediately reach the realm of Legendary Equipment. If enough refined gold is added to it, it would be even possible to have it reach the peak of the Legendary Tier. Carefully ncing at this enormous golden ball, they discovered that on the outside it had a grip and a golden over ten meters long chain, which looked as thick as Sima Xians arm. Long Haochen couldnt help but ask, Is this the erged version of a Meteor Hammer? Sima Xian said with a smile, Pretty much. I thought this chain was shorter, but my current strength is at least sufficient. After my cultivation improves, I will definitely be able to exploit this things power even better. Right when I saw this, I immediately fell in deep love and decided that this will be my lifelong equipment, that I will try to upgrade along with my strength in the future. On the side, Han Yu patted on his own forehead, Sima, whenever we meet other people never tell anyone that you are from the Priest Temple, otherwise, they will surely mock you. And better never bring this thing with you when you go to the Priest Temple to study new magic. Sima Xian snorted, I never made the Priest Temple lose face, what should I be afraid of? Maybe in the future, the Priest Temple will consider me as its pride. Saying this, he tossed down the golden ball in his hand. Although it was only at a distance of a third of a meter from the ground, whening in contact with it, it left cracks on the floor below. Long Haochen asked, And thats it? Is that all for the equipment you bought for yourselves? Right, thats all for our own equipment. The other five replied in unison. Long Haochen gave a puzzled reply, This cant be! Although this increased the strength of each of you, it doesnt even make a total of 100,000 contribution points. Didnt we have 160,000 contribution points left to spend? And with the considerable amount of pills Lin Xin sold, shouldnt there be arge excess of contribution points? Keeping too many contribution points is useless, wed better exchange them to increase our military strength. The five of them mysteriously looked at each other, brimming withrge smiles. Lin Xin proudly replied, Boss, we knew youd say this. Of course, we know that there would be no use in keeping too many contribution points. What we introduced was the equipment we bought for ourselves, but we have yet to speak about what we bought for you. Me? Long Haochen started, revealing a pouting smile to the others, You Han Yu was the first to reply, Captain, we all saw you hang around in the Transaction Center; you have only been spending contribution points to buy two pieces of equipment for our vice-captain, but what about yourself? We understand that you hope to save contribution points to be used by us, but have you thought of your position as the teams core, its cornerstone at all? Having your strength increase is the best way to ensure our teams safety in times of battle. This is not selfishness but a necessity. Thus, we took the initiative to buy three pieces of equipment for you. Saying this, Han Yus hand glinted golden, and an odd heavy sword appeared in Long Haochens hand. This heavy sword was simr to the Holy Spirit Sword in length, about a meter and a third, but was a bit wider than the former. On the main part were two groups of four engravings, extending to the handle, and in those, a dragon-shaped pattern was embedded. It didnt have any gem iid inside, but when this heavy sword was drawn, the air in the whole vi seemed to bepletely shaken. A dense killing intent radiated from it. Surely, a body pierced with such a huge bloodthirst would be bound to die from its effect? Han Yu said in a serious tone, This sword is called Bright Discipline and costed 16,000 contribution points. Like Simas Energetic Ball of Light, it was underpriced, because the requirements for its use are very particr, so ordinary people dont have the capability to use it. It requires the user to be of the light attribute, and his innate internal spiritual energy to exceed seventy. It is said that this Bright Discipline was handed down from a powerful Retribution Knight, but collected dust for a long time in the Transaction Center. After all, knights whose innate internal spiritual energy is over seventy are just too rare. It is able tounch Instant Holy Sword: though the consumption of spiritual energy will be the same as with normal swords, it will break out instantly. It also carries the Soul Absorption ability. It will return ten units of spiritual energy after it was turned into holy spiritual energy back to the user whenever an enemy is hit. A good sword. Long Haochen blurted out almost unconsciously. Perhaps this Bright Discipline couldntpare with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, but it was of high quality, and the two abilities it carried were really practical. Instant Holy Sword, although with the same consumption, enabled him to use a fighting ability of the fifth step to be used instantly. This would be as useful as one may imagine on the battlefield. As for that Soul Absorption ability, it seemed to be fitting crowd battles, especially while fighting lower ranked demons. Killing one enabled the user to absorb ten units of spiritual energy, and when confronting Dual ded Demons, it was possible for Long Haochen to reach a dozen of those enemies with a single Demon Wiping sh or regr Lightning Thrust! This would undoubtedly raise their ability tost on the battlefield. 16,000 contribution was a really cheap price for such a treasure. Han Yu revealed a smile, When Captain finds an even better weapon, this sword can be passed to me to use it, so it is killing two birds with one stone. Long Haochen was about to thank them, when Wang Yuanyuans hand also shed with light, and a 0.6 meter long shield appeared in her hands. This is the Holy Radiant Shield, possessing the Holy Shield ability. Although it has only a single ability, Holy Radiant Shields ability is of the sixth step and perfect for Guardian Knights like you. Just like Bright Discipline, Holy Shield will need to consume spiritual energy to activate instantly. Its consumption is rather high, needing 300 units of spiritual energy for one use, but itsts for ten minutes. Lin Xin extended his right hand, and a brilliance appeared once again extending on the floor in front of him. Along with a helmet, an entire armor appeared in front of Long Haochen. This armor was entirely dark golden in color, decorated with simple designs. Although it was eye-catching, this armor already possessed a majestic look when left on the ground by itself. The Brilliant Holy Armor forms a set of two items along with the former shield, enabling one to use the Guardian Knight ability Holy Spirit Guard, which is of the sixth step. Like for the other two pieces of equipment, it will be instantlyunched, consuming 300 units every time. Those twoe as a set, and give you a set bonus called Brilliant Command when used together, reducing the consumption of spiritual energy of those two pieces of equipment by a third, while raising its efficiency by a third. A high quality item! These three items of the Glorious Tier could be described as equipment of the highest quality. This Glorious Set carried defensive abilities of the sixth step, making it a first rate item even when used by a Radiant Knight of the sixth step. And there was this practical set bonus. After receiving those three pieces of equipment, Long Haochen was now armed to the teeth. When acting as a defensive knight, his defensive power would reachpletely new bounds, making it so that even without having broken through yet, he could already be regarded as a Guardian Knight of the Radiant Knight level. You Long Haochens gaze was warm; regardless of how talented he and how good his self-control was, he was still just a fifteen year-old youth. Facing his teammates that were so thoughtful of him, how could he not be moved? Wang Yuanyuan was the first to react, Captain, theres no need for words of politeness between us. We arerades from the same team, whose core is you. Without you, we couldnt even have made it back alive from the demon territory. Your strength is our teams strength. Raising your strength will give us the best chances of survival when confronting powerful enemies. Chapter 280 - Exchange, Glorious Grade (III)

Chapter 280: Exchange, Glorious Grade (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales They picked those three pieces of equipment for Long Haochen withplete sincerity. In truth, it was even only after thinking about the items to pick for Long Haochen that they looked for the rest of the equipment for themselves. Every time they met with powerful enemies, Long Haochen was the first to confront them as a Guardian Knight, and his Saint Spiritual Stove would always draw the strongest opponent towards him, regardless of whether he was a match to stop this opponent or not. As hispanions, they had always seen this time and time again. Lin Xin smiled happily, Boss, quickly take it. Im going to get some sleep now. Ill snatch time to make some pills tomorrow, early in the morning. Our current bnce of contribution points is closer to 90,000 than 100,000, but I believe that after wee back from this mission, we should at least have gotten this bit back. Eyeing hisrades with reddish eyes, Haochen dered, I cannot help but thank you, otherwise it would be ungrateful of me Everyone should have an early rest today, do your best to be in top condition when we set off. As he said this, Long Haochen recovered the three pieces of equipment disyed in front of him, before heading back to his room with Caier in his arms. The other five smiled at each other, and then happily headed back to their own rooms with their newly obtained items in hand. After todays huge purchases, although it couldnt be said that everyone was equipped to the teeth, their purchases were sufficient to raise their teams strength to a whole new level. In fact, even in amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, knights who could be d in an entire Brilliant set like Long Haochen were extremely rare. That was to say nothing of a team that was still at the general grade. Exchanging their contribution points for equipment would greatly increase their survivability on the battlefield. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and early in the morning of the fourth day, the Demon Hunt Squads were gathered at the entrance of their vis, having forty-two carriages waiting for them. The majority of the carriages was numbered. Among them were four soldier grade, nine general grade, twenty-twomander grade, four king grade, and three unnumbered carriages. A total of forty-two Demon Hunt Squads acting together during this mission was an extremely rarely seen asion in the Temple Alliance. It were no less than two hundred and fifty-two elites of the Alliance. And they were all powerhouses willing to risk their lives in the fight against demons in the midst of the battlefield. The carriages were ced in ordance to their own numbering. Up until now, they still didnt know what sort of mission they were called for. All they knew was that they were headed to the Southern Towns Mountain PassϹ, located in the territory under the Priest Temples jurisdiction. Those forty-two Demon Hunt Squads were to act along with a batch of elites directly subordinated to the Alliance, numbering five thousand in total. And since they were dispatched by the Six Great Temples, there was no need to doubt their strength. Among them, the Knight Temple dispatched the greatest assisting army, which included a team of a total of hundred Temple Knights led directly by the Saint Knight Han Qian, and entailing seven Saint Knights. More terrifying, all the Temple Knights of this group were Foundation Mythril Armored Knights, the true core of the elite of the Knight Temple. From this, the scale of the crisis the Southern Citys Mountain Pass faced, could be judged. The Knight Temples Saint Knight head, Han Qian was also themander of this operation. Forty-two Demon Hunt Squads and an army of five thousand elites of the Six Great Temples were deployed, obeying his orders. Long Haochen and hisrades were taking seats in the carriage marked with 21st general. The order they received so far was simple: to leave for the Southern Citys Mountain Pass and follow the team leaders direction. The concrete details of the War Mission would be assigned after arriving at the Southern Citys Mountain Pass. Because the Holy City was in the center of the Tempe Alliance, the distance to the mountain pass was very small. Rapidly advancing, it didnt even take a day for the reinforcements to arrive at a distance fifty kilometers away from the Southern Citys Mountain Pass. However, arriving there, the atmosphere among the whole reinforcements immediately turned serious, because even at a distance of fifty kilometers, they could already see the distant smoke fuming up,ing from the direction of the Southern Citys Mountain Pass. The Saint Knight Han Qian immediately reacted by transmitting the order to head there at full speed. Meanwhile, the Temple Knight Regiment, as well as the four king grade Demon Hunt Squads, and the three Demon Hunt Squads of unknown grade left their carriages behind and set out at full speed towards the Southern Citys Gate. From the window, Long Haochen saw about twenty figures leaving the seven carriages at lightning speed. All of them were at the very least at the seventh step of cultivation. From afar, Long Haochen only saw a phantomlike afterimage of the six people from the carriage in the front. Sima Xian clenched his fist with an excited face. Clearly, he was an authentic predisposed war-lover. Because of the pressed advance, the whole journey was spent with everyone still in their carriages, having difficulty to hold back. This was especially the case for Sima Xian who had just obtained the Energetical Ball of Light and had been holding back for a long time now. He had only tried it out once, against Long Haochen. Then, Sima Xian had swung it by its chain,pletely bringing out the Energetical Ball of Lights true might while Long Haochen had relied on the Brilliant Holy Shield. Even though he had added Divine Obstruction to the Holy Shield technique, he had barely managed to block it. Still, he had been pushed back six steps, almost falling down, with both of his arms aching from the shock. Of course, after such an attack, Sima Xian would have needed time to store more power if he had wanted tounch another blow with the same strength. The reason why he could disy such might was because of the abnormality of the Energetic Ball of Light. It could instantly erupt with great power due to its supplementary ability Crush, which was an inseparable part of it. Inside of the Energetical Ball of Light was a magical array that could absorb the surrounding light essence through a magical crystal. Thus, this Crush ability didnt even need Sima Xian to use his own spiritual energy to sustain it. The most terrifying thing was that Crush could actually bebined with Long Haochens self-created technique Ripples of Light. Though both sides employed this technique, even Long Haochen was almost unable to resist itsbination with Crush. Since this match, Sima Xian had always been brimming with enthusiasm, wanting to try out this new weapon against demons. He had fallen in deep love with this Energetical Ball of Light. If not for the limited space inside of the carriage, he probably wouldnt have resisted the urge of holding this metallic swelling golden item in his hands. Han Yu asked Long Haochen, Captain Long, what do you believe is the grade of the Demon Hunt Squads that are in those three unnumbered carriages? Long Haochen replied, They should be at the Emperor grade. Han Yu then asked with some excitement, Couldnt they be at the titled grade? Just like those six almighty elders we previously met in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Long Haochen shook his head, This is not very probable. Lin Xin said on his side, Its rather impossible. Titled Demon Hunt Squads dont receive missions from the Alliance, and are the Alliances greatest heroes in terms of contribution. They dont reside in Holy City either. Titled Demon Hunt Squads members have to be at the ninth step of cultivation, but powerhouses of the ninth step wont necessarily belong to a Titled Demon Hunt squad. From my point of view, the Demon Hunt Squads that were traveling in those three carriages should be at the emperor grade. Its just that they would be of different strengths. The carriage at the front is very possibly a Demon Hunt Squad constituting of six powerhouses at the ninth step. Wang Yuanyuan nodded, I agree with has-drug-bro. Considering our strength, we shouldnt be part of the main force, but probably its backup force. We will just kill as much as we can. This girls love for war was not the slightest bit inferior to Sima Xians. An hourter, the reinforcement army finally reached the Southern Citys Mountain Pass, and Long Haochen understood for what sort of emergency the Alliance had dispatched them all. In the midst of thick smoke, the scent of blood reeked out from all directions, and right after getting off the carriage, Long Haochen was immediately shocked. It was because he saw with horror a total of twelve thick pirs of light in the sky. There were actually twelve of the seventy-two demon gods present on this battlefield. From inside the thick smoke that rose from the Southern Citys Mountain Pass, ear splitting battle noises resounded. The battle seemed to have already entered this Southern City, whose defense looked like it wouldntst for much longer. Temporarily acting as themander, Han Qian immediately transmitted the order for all Demon Hunt Squads to join the battle, and the variousmanders from the Six Great Temples led their forces, entering the Southern Citys Mountain Pass. Perhaps this was because Han Qian already led a reinforcement team before this, the citys gate was wide open. Prepared to enter in the city, Long Haochen was suddenly called out. Haochen! Luc Xi, Lin Xin, and the rest of their 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad hurried over, joining Long Haochens group. It wasnt only them: the 2nd soldier grade Demon Hunt Squadmanded by Yang Wenzhao as well as the 3nd soldier grade Demon Hunt Squadmanded by Duan Yi all came to join them. Luc Xi was the fastest, immediately addressing Long Haochen, Haochen, we are already used to working together, how about coborating this time again? We will fullyply to yourmand, absolutely carrying out any of your orders. His voice wasnt loud, but extremely firm and resolute. His attitude of clinging to their group was distinct. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi came inrge strides, and Yang Wenzhao spoke first, Haochen, our four groups are newly formed Demon Hunt Squads, and the situation inside the Southern Mountains City is not very clear. We will very possibly run into strong enemies. How about acting together? Duan Yi also nodded, expressing his agreement with Yang Wenzhao. As the most talented emerging knights from the Knight Temple, they were naturally intelligent, and although they didnt clearly understand the nature of the first mission aplished by Long Haochens group, with Yang Wenzhaos status as the grandson of the chief of the Temple Alliance, it wasnt hard for him to learn that the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad had followed Long Haochen during the mission theypleted. When they saw the words 22nd general on their carriage, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were truly shocked. What was this magic trick? Long Haochens group had a great amount of contribution points from the period of test, but what about Luc Xis group? Yang Wenzhao even heard that Luc Xis group ordered a batch of Holy Spirit Pills to raise their strength. If Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi couldnt guess that this had something to do with Long Haochens squad, they would be fools. Now, facing the unclear situation in the Southern Citys Mountain Pass, they remembered Long Haochens outstanding performance during the period of test and, after careful consideration, decided to lead their teams to his side. Chapter 281 - Bloody Battle In the Southern Mountain Pass (I)

Chapter 281: Bloody Battle In the Southern Mountain Pass (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Luc Xi wrinkled his brows, reacting, Sirs, Im afraid this would be no good. If our four Demon Hunt Squads enter the city together, this would make us a group of more than twenty people. Such a huge target would very possibly attract strong enemies. Yang Wenzhao smiled at him, Brother Luc is right, but us acting together doesnt mean we would have to stick close to each other. It would be only about everyone watching each others back. Seeing that the other Demon Hunt Squads already entered the town, Long Haochen hurried to say, Lets just enter the town together. When running into danger, we can notify each other through by whistling. This will allow us to mutually defend each other. Take out your equipment! Thest words were directed at hispanions. Under the dumbstruck stares of the other three Demon Hunt Squads, a magnificent change immediately happened with the seven of them, who were originally d in simple attire. With seven bursts of spiritual energy fluctuations, one after another took out their Glorious Tier Equipment. The one who gave the others the greatest shock was naturally Long Haochen himself. Being d in the dark golden Glorious Armor, while carrying the Glorious Holy Shield and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, that originally released an intense brilliance, he was simply too imposing. The three pieces of Glorious Tier Equipment put on him gave people an iparable shock, especially after the Glorious Armor wasbined with the Glorious Holy Shield, emanating a faint dark golden gloss covering Haochens whole body. This was the set bonus that was supplementary when using the armor and shield as a whole. After taking out four pieces of equipment of the Glorious Tier by himself, Long Haochen immediately gave Bright Discipline to Han Yu. All of the other six members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, other than Chen Yinger who hugged McDull and didnt take out any particr equipment, each had at least one piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier. As members of the other newly formed Demon Hunt Squads, seeing the equipment on Long Haochens group, who out of them wouldnt be totally jealous? Yang Wenzhao swallowed his saliva in envy, while throbbing in pain deep inside, thinking about the great opportunity to gain contribution points they had missed the other day. What a shame, this was really a great shame! Long Haochen also realized how much they stood out, but during the chaotic situation within the Southern Citys Mountain Pass, their priority wasnt the number of killed enemies, but the surviving on such a disorderly battlefield. How could he convince his teammates to hold back in such a situation. Lets go, to the town! The four teams rapidly entered the city, though Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi didnt express theirpliance. But at the same time, they still chose to follow Long Haochens directive, though they didnt look as subordinate as Luc Xi. Yang Wenzhaos and Duan Yis Demon Hunt Squads kept their original formation, but Luc Xis 22nd Demon Hunt Squad immediately fused in the 21st Demon Hunt Squads formation. The Shield Warrior Dian Yan stood in the front, directly positioning himself at Long Haochens nk, while Li Xin covered his other nk. Luc Xi, Bai Xiaomo and Yi Jun naturally took positions in the middle of the formation, since with Li Xin and Dian Yis addition, their formation becamerge enough for them to enter. The assassin Han Daosi stayed in the rear, clearly matching with Han Yus defense of their backs. Long Haochen was in the front, with Caier on his back again. Originally, Long Haochen had nned on having her be covered with his Glorious Holy Armor, but Caier expressed her fierce refusal. She finally only agreed to have Long Haochen carry her on his back above his armor. Although she had lost four of her senses, as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, she didntpletely lose all fighting capability, especially after the growth of her Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Thus, Caier calmly attached herself to Long Haochens back, as if she was totally weightless. Her pair of legs curled around Long Haochens waist and her hands holding on to his neck, she did her utmost to avoid affecting Long Haochens movements. Although knights and assassins were a great match on the battlefield, this was the first time other Demon Hunt Squads saw something like that. Nheless, who would go questioning them? They had all seen Caiers strength before. If not for her disy of power, it was difficult to say whether their Demon Hunt Squad would still have gotten the first ce during the teampetition. After entering the Southern Citys Mountain Pass, Long Haochen unconsciously raised his head, looking at the sky. At this time, a marvellous scene appeared. Elegant brilliances twisted violently in the sky, just like countless resplendent fireworks bursting in session. Of course, this wasnt fireworks, but the most intense region of the battle. The true super powerhouses of both sides were fighting up there, and although the situation could not be seen clearly, Long Haochen vaguely felt that Han Qians group arrived there in time. The situation in the sky should thus atst be considered to be settled . At least for the time being, the Temple Alliances side should still be able to hold their ground against the enemy. In the end, since they came from the rear of Southern Citys Mountain Pass, the demons hadnt made that much of an advance yet. But as a whole, the city felt gloomy and deste. Not a single civilian appeared in the streets, with the reinforcement group filling the streets after having arrived in the city. From a distance, numerous houses could be seen burning in the chaos. The air was filled with a mixture of the burnt smell of wood along with the smell of blood. The stink gave them a nauseous feeling. After Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi led their teams inside the city, they immediately fanned out to the sides. Staying a little behind, they kept a supporting position to Long Haochens group. Currently, they felt somewhat hesitant, because no matter what, Luc Xis team had not only already advanced to the general grade, but alsopletely merged into Long Haochens team as a whole. In other words they had matched each other perfectly, forming a brand newplete team. It could even be said that they had be subordinated to Long Haochens 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. This was already not a simple matter of mutual trust anymore. Long Haochen summoned Haoyue and had him stay in the center of the team. Chen Yinger and Lin Xin were naturally seated on Haoyues back, but Luc Xis group didnt have such a good treatment. They also felt a bit afraid when standing close to Haoyues side. As everyone kept going forward, the reek of blood also grew more and more intense. But when they truly saw the situation on the battlefield, they couldnt help but shiver in response, not out of fear, but as an unconscious reactioning from their soul. The situation was really too bitter. Every battle in front of them was challenging and cruel, especially since neither side would possibly yield. The battle had tost until there would only remain one side left. The demon army had a natural advantage, regardless of whether it was in the sky or on the ground. upying at least seven tenths of the area, they filled the entire range of the Southern Citys Mountain Pass with their armies, blotting the sky and covering the earth with their troops. The soldiers from the Alliance were a lot fewer, but used their entire bodies and even their teeth to fiercely withstand the demon armys invasion. The battlefield was filled with a concentrated reek of blood. Whether it was on the ground or in the sky, the blood flowing everywhere gave a moist feeling to the air. Dense fluctuations of spiritual energy were all around, as magic was stirred up endlessly. Destroyed limbs could be seen falling down from the sky regrly. In the midst of shouts and screams, the sad calls of the people that were at deaths doors didnt miss to shock thempletely. In the midst of such an atmosphere, everyone, including even the calm Long Haochen and Sima Xian who had the most fighting intent, slowly becamepletely red in the eyes. Their terror was totally dispersed by the frantic killing intent that rushed forth. The losing of ones head and stirring up of ones blood needed a particr atmosphere, but in this very moment, the atmosphere in this ce already reached this level. Forward! Long Haochen shouted. Taking the lead, he rushed forward in big strides, but as the captain, he still kept his rationality even at such times, Be careful to stay in formation everyone. Currently, he could onlye up with this much instructions. Puff A human soldiers body was torn to shreds by a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon. In the midst of his blood and organs spreading everywhere, a little gap had appeared in the humans defensive line. Four or five Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons of the Nubo n took advantage of this opportunity to charge in. Long Haochens choice to cut into the battlefield coincided exactly with this moment, when their defense was just on the verge of destruction. In case the enemy broke through the formation, this could very possibly lead to an irreversible situation. Using his speed and putting his strength in his feet, Long Haochenunched a Charge with big strides. Meanwhile, with an illumination of bright light, Yating appeared, floating above his shoulder. Golden halos rippled around Long Haochens feet, and Halo of Faith, Guardians Favor and Imposing Halo immediately enveloped all the members of the 21st and the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons were among the demons who were most frantic during battles. Eyeing Long Haochen who rushed at him, the one that had justcerated the human soldier immediately howled,unching his sharp limbs at Long Haochen to wee him. _Bang._ The Glorious Holy Shields supplementary ability Holy Shield ability wasunched along with Long Haochens shields bacsh. This newly-obtained Glorious Tier Equipment illuminated the entire surroundings. A fixed white glow appeared on the surface of the shield, transforming into a massive hexagon made out of divine light, and Long Haochens Charge abruptly turned into Assault. With a loud bang, it shed against the Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon. The Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons massive body was suddenly sent flying, knocking against a couple of other Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons behind him. At this time, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light carried a radiant gloss in Long Haochens hand, enveloping those Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons with the Demon Wiping sh. With an ear-piercing sound, Demon Wiping sh carried a formidable prative power inherited from Ripples of Light. Those Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons werepletely unable to dodge such a fast attack, and ended up as mere targets of the Demon Wiping sh. Soon, blood and other fluids terupted from their bodies. And dont forget, Long Haochen wasnt alone during this battle. Intersecting a golden red-colored Instant st Cross Cut, the knight riding the Rose Unicorn from hell appeared and Li Xins pair of ming swords filled with holy spiritual energy burst out on the battlefield. Chapter 282 - Bloody Battle In the Southern Mountain Pass (II)

Chapter 282: Bloody Battle In the Southern Mountain Pass (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At the time Long Haochen passed on the Ripples of Light, Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan went through a lot of difficulties trying to learn it, but instead of giving up like Dian Yan and Han Daosi, they stubbornly continued trying. In the end, the two insistent girls managed to learn this formidable supportive skill during Long Haochens trip to the Moon Castle. And they would benefit from this ability created by Long Haochen throughout their lifetime. At this time, the Instant st Cross Cut Li Xinunched wasbined with the exploding effect of Ripples of Light. As the Retribution Knight she was, attack was everything to her! While, the Demon Wiping sh instantly cut a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon in four, Ripples of Light at least doubled Li Xins offensive power. Moreover, she hadnt only broken through to the fifth step, but also taken the Holy Spirit Pill, and her cultivation of internal spiritual energy already reached an amount of over 3,000. Compared to the time theypleted the Deste Hissing Caverns mission, she already underwent a qualitative leap in power. She wasnt the only one to erupt with explosive attacks, since Sima Xian had been unable to hold back since long ago. The moment Long Haochen sent this Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon flying, his massive Energetic Ball of Light was immediately released as well. With a glint of gaudy dark golden radiance shining in the sky, at the time it wasunched, that massive golden ball blocked even Long Haochens line of sight with its massive size. The following scene was just like the results of theunch of a bowling ball. shing against the remaining four Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons with an exploding sound, it sent them flying in all directions. The Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon who was the closest became the first target of the Energetic Ball of Light. His body exploded into a minced state at once, not even leaving a corpse behind. The other Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons didnt escape serious damage either, and were finally finished off in midair by Yi Juns spatial magic spells. Sima Xianughed with a pleased sound, Crushing some flesh with my metallic ball feels so good! In the Nubo n, the ranking went as followed: the weakest were Berserk Demons, then came the Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons and after them the Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons. While Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons couldnt evenpare to the strongest Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons, they still matched human warriors of the fifth step of cultivation. Four or five Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons thus formed without a doubt a very powerful offensive strength. However, with only four of them initiating the battle, their team of thirteen standing in the front handled the first sh without any difficulties. The powerful knight as the vanguard, the explosive power of the Retribution Knight, and that priest Adding the spatial mage to the lot, the final analysis turned out just like Luc Xi said before: after having cooperated for a long time, everyone now managed to coordinate to a good level. Everyone in the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad was straightforward in their actions; doing everything they could to assist the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad in their charge. Not trying to steal the merit, but giving their all-out support, and listening to Long Haochensmands perfectly. After getting rid of the Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon, Long Haochen didnt have the slightest happy look. He also didnt be frantic from having spilled the enemys blood, but on the contrary stayed calm instead. Launching another Charge, he forcibly closed the gap created in the formation. With Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light blossoming in his hand with a second Demon Wiping sh, he simply stopped the demon armies headed in this direction. Those Bloodthirsty Berserk Demons from before were the demons powerful vanguard, whereas the ones to follow behind were ordinary Berserk Demons from the Nubo n. In front of Long Haochens Demon Wiping sh, these regr Berserk Demons hardly posed any threat. More than a dozen of them were killed with one strike, reducing the pressure in the front greatly. Change into a defensive formation. No one is allowed to advance prematurely! Long Haochen shouted his order after judging the situation. Their troops formation changed along with his order, Li Xin and Yuanyuan arrived at Long Haochens left nk whereas Sima Xian and Dian Yan were at his right nk. The five of them lined up and closed ranks, forming wall blocking the demon armies advance. At the back, the mages started to chant incantations at fast speed. Material of excellent quality gave birth to an essentially formidable piece of equipment. To facilitate three iid spells, this fire cloud crystal belonging to Lin Xin was just of too good. Lin Xin was plentifully satisfied with those three spells. The first reduced the time he needed for his incantations of fire elemental magic of a lower step by half, it was the so-called Fire Incantation. The other two were supplementary offensive techniques to make up for a mage that couldnt use offensive spells like himself. They had a limited number of daily uses, so he couldntunch them rashly. But they were all spells of the sixth step, proving that this Fire Crystal Staff already reached the Legendary Tier. Thus, relying on the Fire Crystal Staff to supplement his fire spells, he brought out the full might of his Fire Elemental Shields effortlessly. His control over fire magic was originally already outstanding, but with the addition of this strengthened staff, he became totally unrestrained. Beingpletely covered in dazzling scarlet mes, he became the most eye-catching mage on the whole battlefield. Chen Yinger was theplete opposite of the dazzling Lin Xin. Sitting on Haoyues back from beginning to end, this girl waved her little handsand shouted loudly, Cheers, cheers Kill them all!!! Thats right, this was all she did. It wasnt because she didnt want to join in the battle, but because of her position in the team. McDulls disy of power needed him to consume magical crystals, and it wasnt as if he could keep battling for an infinite time. In case he ended up wounded, even if he was given more magical crystals, his strength would still receive a heavy blow. Thus, his strength that was bound to the consumed crystals was the strong backup force of the team. It would only be used at crucial times. Therefore, protected in the midst of the formation, all Chen Yinger could do for now was yelling a few catchphrases. Yang Wenzhaos and Duan Yis teams spread out to both sides, also finding asions to join the battle. The addition of the two Demon Hunt Squads immediately made the situation on this side of the battlefield take a turn for the better. Especially the powerful spells of the mages gave the defenders some time to reorganize their forces. However, the demon advance was extremely fierce. To say nothing of their vastly superior quantity of troops, they were almost onlyposed of middle and higher ranked demons. It went as far that not a single Dual ded Demon appeared. Even though the close quarter battles, the long range battles and the aerial battles were coordinated with each other, and everyone tried their hardest on each side, the human defense was still in immediate danger. On Long Haochens side, the defense was the most solid. As the core of the team, he wielded his Glorious Holy Shield without being greedy for contribution points. He wholly focused on defending. Without need for him to worry about those demons below the fifth step, he left them all to Sima Xian at his side. One had no choice but to admit that after the addition of the two pieces of Glorious Equipment he had obtained, Sima Xians utility for the team had made a qualitative leap. The Energetic Ball of Light was really suited to this guy, giving him the means topletely crush the lower ranked demons with a single blow, reinforced by the Crush ability. With every attack, several demons lives were taken, leaving no intact corpses behind. Demons also possessed a certain intelligence, and even lower ranked demons had an instinct of survival. The metallic ball in Sima Xians hand disying so much power, that it caused those middle-ranked demons to unconsciously keep away from it, greatly alleviating the burden on their defense. However, the strong performance on their side also attracted the attention of demon powerhouses. An enormous blood-colored silhouette suddenly appeared from nowhere, aiming directly at Sima Xian. It came at a fast speed, causing Sima Xian who was being refreshed by all his killing to suddenly feel a chill. From above came a strong reeking of blood. Although his Energetic Ball of Light came with enormous power, it also had its own disadvantages, being mainly its enormous weight, thus affecting its handling speed. At such a time, cing the Energetic Ball of Light above his head was already a pretty good defensive move. But just as if Sima Xian didnt feel any danger from above, he kept swinging the Energetic Ball of Light in his hand, smashing all of those approaching demons with ease. With a white glint, the blood-colored luster glowing in the sky suddenly changed directions at less than five meters away from Sima Xian. It was blocked by a glinting hexagonal shield in its way to attack Sima Xian. It was the Brilliant Holy Shield, reinforced by Holy Shield and Divine Obstruction! Of course, it wasnt that Sima Xian didnt know that an attack was aimed at him from above, even possibly threatening his life. He could just tranquilly face this threat due to the confidence he ced in his teammate. Long Haochen naturally wouldnt disappoint hisrades. Heunched the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove and immediately attracted the aerial attack to him. An ear splitting resonance rang, and Long Haochen was pushed half a step back, his body being covered in a golden sh. Seizing the opportunity, he stroke out with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his right hand. Haochenunched an attack without holding back, immediately arousing his spiritual energy by the means of Raise Flowers Into Trees tounch an instant Holy Sword, along with Shining Sunlight Strike, both carrying the power of Ripples of Light. Three skills used as one would naturally not be aimed blindly. Through the opponents offensive, Long Haochen could determine his strength. Stopping the enemys strike, the defense of the Glorious Holy Shield reinforced by the Holy Shield Technique was narrowly broken, and Divine Obstruction didnt manage topletely get rid of its strength, causing even Long Haochen to be pushed back. Seventh step. Which opponent below the seventh step couldpel Long Haochen in such a way? The bloody silhouette slowly became visible, and its appearance was familiar to the 21st and 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squads. It was precisely the main enemy they faced on their way to the Deste Hissing Cavern, a Fiend. And this Fiend was visibly a Fiend Lord of the seventh step, just like the one that caused Caier to loose four of her senses. Chapter 283 - Bloody Battle In the Southern Mountain Pass (III)

Chapter 283: Bloody Battle In the Southern Mountain Pass (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Fiend Lord had a blood-colored heavy sword in his hand. The wings at his back controlled his bnce as he was directly stopped by Long Haochens Divine Obstruction. Long Haochen was ready and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was already aiming at him. And it was not only Long Haochen who attacked, at his side, Li Xins attack also approached. It was a Shining Sunlight Strike carrying the brilliance of Sunlight Fire, as well as the power of Ripples of Light. Li Xinsrge ming sword was also out of the ordinary. Although it wasnt a piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier, it was still at the Spiritual Tier, and only purchased recently. With the boost in strength she got after her spiritual energy went over three thousand, her speed when borrowing the help of the sunlight fire was at least twice as fast as that of an ordinary knight. The Fiend Lord unconsciously took a step back, waving the gigantic blood-colored sword in his hand. Long Haochens attack was a step faster than Li Xins, and hended first. After evolving, the sharpness of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, that carried Holy Sword supplemented with Ripples of Light manifested undoubtedly. In front of the dazzling Shining Sunlight Strike, the Fiend Lords gigantic blood-colored sword broke into pieces. Although Long Haochen drew back suddenly as well, unable to proceed with the offense, still Li Xins Shining Sunlight Strike managed to strike the Fiend Lords body. The Fiend Lord screamed miserably, forcing Li Xin back with an intense red glint released from his body. But from the left side of his shoulder to his stomach appeared a deep cut, causing smoke to appear from the corroding effect the light element had on darkness elemental bodies like his. Three spells were almost immediatelyunched on the Fiend Lord, but none of the lot were offensive spells. It was the wind elemental Wind Binding, the fire elemental Cage of mes and the light elemental Light Binding. The three spells had onemon goal, which was to suppress this Fiend Lord. These three techniques couldnt be considered to be of high grade, and were of three different elements, but the light element of the Light Binding had a good effect on the Fiend Lord. Even if he wanted to struggle free of these three spells, the Fiend Lord still needed more than a second to aplish this. At this time, the Fiend Lord suddenly felt a violent threat arriving towards him. His greatest loss was pertaining to his equipment. Even with a strength at the seventh step, he didnt have any other equipment aside from that blood-colored heavy sword. At this instant, the Fiend Lord made the most urate judgement with the help of his innate skill for battle. Not drawing back, and not even trying to struggle free of the three restricting magics, his body glinted with a violent dark-red radiance. The body of the Fiend Lord became dark red in color and had a bit of a transparent look, especially on his torso that appeared the same as a dark red gem. This was the Elemental Body of the seventh step, an ability that both humans and demons could use to increase their offensive and defensive capability. At this time, the Fiend Lord chose to reinforce his defense, before an axe-like shield and an enormous golden ball shed against him simultaneously with loud bangs. With the help of Elemental Bodys boost, the Fiend Lord extended his two hands, expelling these two tyrannical weapons. Two stuffy sounds rang at the same time, from Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian respectively moving a few steps back. The bodies of the seven members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad glinted at the same time as the Soul Sharing Shackles shared the damage received by the two of them. However, the Fiend Lord didnt take it so easy. His upper body was in a miserable state from the bombardment of attacks and his fists were madly mutted. After taking the Holy Spirit Pill, Wang Yuanyuans cultivation had increased greatly, her internal spiritual energy having reached 3,500 since long ago. The Gigantic Divine Soul Shields power broke out entirely, as just like Sima Xian, she put Ripples of Light to use. Further adding the crushing effects of the Energetic Ball of Light of Sima Xian, even a Fiend Lord of the seventh step couldnt defendpletely against such an attack, unable to return fire effectively. However, an rming change appeared at that time on the Fiend Lords sinister face. A glorious golden light shone from above him, just like a guillotine falling on him. The more terrifying thing was that he didnt even have the time to deal with the three restricting spells, when such a pressure descended on him. The severe oppressive force caused the Fiend Lord to be unable to get away no matter how he tried. Geeh. An ear-piercing cry sounded from the Fiend Lords mouth, and intense dark red mes illuminated his damaged hand. This blow was bringing out all of his strength, because he clearly felt the threat of this golden light. However, to his overwhelming shock, his hands carrying these dark-red mes were cut in two in front of this guillotine, which was iparably sharp and struck his hands from above. The Fiend Lord was after all in the seventh step of cultivation. Facing such danger, he still didnt lose hope, the wings at his back violently twisting and causing a sprain on his worn out body, and the Elemental Body broke out with his full strength from the upper part of his hands. _BangC_ A blood-colored light scattering along with his fragmented flesh, his wrecked limbs and his thick ck-colored blood scattering in all direction. After thisst attack, the Fiend Lords two hands werepletely crushed, and right after losing his two arms, he reached the edge of death. A part of his head was also cut down, letting a block of his skull fall down, and his whole right shoulder waspletely removed. With his skin and flesh removed, a great puff of his blood was spread in the air. It was naturally Long Haochens two-handed skill, Asura Strike, that needed to consume a thousand spiritual energy, that produced such a terrifying attack. And this was after adding Ripples of Light to the attack. The three previous binding spells came from Haoyue, perfectly coordinated with Long Haochen. SIma Xian and Wang Yuanyuans attacks were just an appetizer, whereas Long Haochens Asura Strike was the true finishing blow. The appearance of the Fiend Lord caused even the calm Long Haochen to be totally red out of anger. It was as if he once again saw the criminal responsible for the loss of Caiers four senses. At the time this Asura Strike blow wasunched, his entire body fused as a whole with his killing intent, producing the most powerful attack he had everunched of his life. It was at such time that the importance of ones weapon could be seen. In terms of numbers of powerhouses, humans were far from demons count, but how could they have contended so many years against demons, not only stopping them frompleting their invasion, but gradually saving strength tounch a counterattack? This was because of the excellence of their offensive equipment. Humans had their Magic Cannons, the various methods used to make ancient weapons, and skilled craftsmen. And demons? Demons even had troubles to settle their problem of food, and even needed to go through war to reduce their total poption. It could be said that over the past six thousand years, the demons force didnt rise too much as a whole, but humans progressed steadily. With the powerful strength of the Fiend Lord, if he had a fitting equipment of Glorious Tier, Long Haochens gathered force of thirteen wouldnt necessarily have won against him. But at this very moment, he had suffered loss after loss from the very beginning against Long Haochens powerful weapons and techniques. A ck silhouette suddenly appeared behind Long Haochen, just like a bolt of lightning, charging at this seriously wounded Fiend Lord that looked for an escape even in such a state. Her speed was such that only a series of after images could be seen, leaving her trace. The Fiend Lord unconsciously lifted up his only leftover hand, letting out with difficulty some spiritual energy along with a punch, but the ck figure suddenly became illusory right after appearing in front of him. From Long Haochen position, the ck figure was seen being cut in two, but a pitch-ck ray sorrowfully appeared at the back of the Fiend Lords head. If the Fiend Lord was in his peak state, he could have stopped this attack by relying on his Elemental Body, but thetter was already destroyed because of Long Haochens Asura Strike, so how could he disy any leftover strength? The most shocking part was that the ck figure that appeared to be hit by the Fiend Lords punch immediately became solid, charging at the Fiend Lords hand like a bolt of lightning. Two shadows matched up in the air. At a closer distance, one would have seen the ck ray suddenly turn into ck dots piercing the Fiend Lords head. Afterwards, his body immediately froze, falling down powerlessly, emptied of all vital energy and turning lifeless. That ck figure fell on its tiptoes on the Fiend Lords shoulder, trampling on his corpse and bouncing against it to return back to its feet. Long Haochen rapidly raised his left hand, that shone in a faint golden radiance. After having previously used fully the power of Asura Strike, he temporarily retrieved his Glorious Holy Shield, and moved his sword from the right to the left hand. The shadow suddenly arrived on his right hand, and a little white hand came in contact with his right hand. Pulling it with a swing, Long Haochen immediately retrieved this shadow to his back, its pair of legs appearing once again on his waist. It was without a doubt Caier that gave thest blow to this Fiend Lord. Although she had lost four of her senses, it didnt mean that Caier had lost all fighting strength. Contrarily, because she had always been apanying Long Haochen over this period of a few months since she lost these four senses, she didnt feel lonely from it, and in a satisfied and quiet state, her strength kept increasing and making breakthroughs. The Shadow Doppelganger technique she had just disyed waspletely different from before, its offensive power reaching a new threshold. Long Haochen currently didnt have the time to rebuke Caier, who took her chance perfectly in this asion, and released some light element from his left hand, warming up Caier who only had her basic perception and her sense of touch left. The death of the Fiend Lord gave the demon armies a violent shock. That was a powerhouse of the seventh step that, onlysted for a few seconds in front of Long Haochens group. As the pressure fell rapidly, Long Haochens group was temporarily left without an opponent. In this state of flourishing war, the frantic massacre didnt calm down just because of their addition. On the contrary, the trouble got more and more intense on their side of the battlefield. It wasnt only their newly formed Demon Hunt Squad that joined the battlefield, as Demon Hunt Squads arrived in different sides of the battlefield as reinforcements. Each of them were formed of elites of the Alliance, and their participation immediately brought back bnce from the previous state of one-sided beating the humans were going through. And in addition, that reinforcement army of five thousand also joined the battle . Chapter 284 - Ensnare the opponent of the seventh step(I)

Chapter 284: Ensnare the opponent of the seventh step(I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales (I) Arge quantity of healing light scattered in the air,ing from the priests collective healing. They were trying to raise the morale of those officers and soldiers that went through a hard battle in the Southern Mountains City. For the moment, the demons advance had been stopped. Boss, lets rush in and kill the enemy. Suddenlycking strong opponents, Sima Xian expressed a fierce unsatisfaction, his eyes gleaming with a blood-thirsty light. Long Haochen pondered for a bit, Advance thirty meters forward. Take a mobile formation! Giving this order, he once again summoned his Brilliant Holy Shield, and lead hisrades forward. A distance of thirty meter was such that they could retreat at any time. The battlefields situation underwent constant change, and the demons offense was still fierce. Since they joined the battle, the burden on their allies eased up a little. After an advance of thirty meters forward, they were bound to be attacked from all sides. They would surely attract some of the demons attacks, naturally reducing the pressure on the other fighters. The group of thirteen was just like a sharp de stabbing into the demons formation on the wide street. Sima Xian was at Long Haochens right nk. His Energetic Ball of Light had be their most suitable offensive weapon. Its powerful offensive power and the crushing effects enabled it to open up a path for them, while lower ranked demons werepletely unable to stop them. Long Haochen also took this opportunity to release a Spiritual Gathering Halo, helping his teammates to recover their spiritual energy. The group of thirteen burst out with an explosive battle strength in the midst of the enemy ranks. At the back, Han Yu was very stable and steady. Relying on the Bright Reflection as well as the Bright Discipline Long Haochen gave him to carry out both attack and defense at the same time, though he still put his energy mostly into the defense. The rear was also very stable because it had Luc Xi as their backup. With him within their formation, they didnt need to worry about the problem of healing. In practice, Luc Xi currently only needed to use a few buffing spells. So far, there was no need for any healing. Long Haochens group was immediately weed by a fierce demon counterattack. The death of the Fiend Lord had intimidated the demon armies greatly, but at the same time, their armies started to view Long Haochens group as a dangerous opponent. Several powerhouses of the sixth and the seventh step headed in their direction, ready to face Long Haochens group. After advancing for no more than thirty meters, Long Haochen immediately stopped. As the teams core, he had to pay attention to the global situation on the battlefield. Lifting up the Brilliant Holy Sword in his hand and making use of the Saint Spiritual Stove, he immediately attracted the most powerful enemies to him. Relying on his solid defense, he didnt give them any opportunity to threaten his teammates. Both the 21st and the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad had previously weathered out of the demon sieges during the mission of exploring the Deste Hissing Cavern, and thus attained a good level of coordination. More importantly, the only leader of their two teams was Long Haochens and all of hismands were immediately executed. Acting as a whole and letting the demonse at them, they fulfilled the order of only prating the enemys ranks in a range of thirty meters. _BangC_ Three dark purple radiances shed against Long Haochens Glorious Holy Armor. They surpassed the Holy Shields defense and pushed Long Haochen a few steps back. Nearby, three tall Demonic Eye Soldiers gathered their firepower for an attack against them. Because of the great amount of demons charging at their group, the Demonic Eye Soldiers didnt need to worry about Long Haochens attacks threatening them. Since all of them had ten eyes, their cultivation was at the early stages of the sixth step. Right in front of Long Haochen arrived the assault of a demon of the sixth step It was a Golden ded Demon, which couldntpare to a Fiend Lord in strength, but his speed was even faster than the former, and it also was exceptionally crafty. When Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove was activated, it would immediately draw back, not giving them the opportunity ofunching a group attack. In a situation where Long Haochen couldnt take too many risks, he didnt have many options to deal with this kind of enemy either. Aside from the Golden Dual ded Demon, Long Haochen confronted an even bigger threat that came from the air. It was an extremely huge Dual Headed Devil Eagle, which asionally swooped down at them and uninterruptedlyunched darkness and fire dual-elemented magic. The greatest part of Long Haochens attention was directed at this Dual Headed Devil Eagle. Every time itunched an attack, he would immediately use the Saint Spiritual Stove in order to make himself its target. This way, he was the target of one opponent of the seventh step and four demon powerhouses of the sixth step. Even with Long Haochens strength, he had some difficulties to resist those attacks. But under such enormous pressure, the strength Long Haochen disyed was especially spectacr. In the eyes of his teammates, he was just like an unwavering fort. None of the enemies attacks could make him fall or retreat. The defensive power of the Brilliant Holy Shield and the Brilliant Set was disyed to its fullest by Long Haochen. asionally, when the shield wouldnt make it in time to defend, he would use his own body to resist the enemies attacks. Being defensive spells of the sixth step, the two additional abilities on his equipment were extremely effective This enabled him to actually stand straight, not even falling back in the slightest. Long Haochens speed of reaction had been trained in the owl-ants cave. Thus, even when the danger was very close, he still reacted reflexively, being surrounded by a golden glow. With very little movement, he was the one to sustain the opponents most powerful attacks. Of course, if he had been just by himself, he would have surely been unable to resist against so many powerful attacks. But at his back, his teammates were providing him with a strong support. Haoyues three heads divided the work, with Little me and Little Greenunching attacks against the especially powerful Dual-Headed Devil Eagle in the air, rendering him unable tounch full strength attacks against Long Haochen. And Little Light used one boosting spell after another and continuouslyunched elemental shields for Long Haochen. Other than Haoyue, he also had Yatings formidable support. In fact, Long Haochen had the Glorious Sets bonus ability to economize his spiritual energy, but still he kept using Holy Shield and Holy Spirit Guard almost without pause. His total amount of spiritual energy was only about 4,000 units strong, but he seemed to never be out of energy. Using one formidable ability after another, he didnt seem to be even close to exhaustion. Using Yatings support, Long Haochens ordinary attacks asionally became tyrannical ones, like Holy Swordbined with Shining Sunlight Strike. This enabled him to not only defend against the five great enemies, but also to asionally dispose of some of the middle and lower ranked demons. Luc Xi started to use his healing magic, mainly aiming at hisrades from the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad. This wasnt because he was biased, but because the seven members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad didnt suffer any injuries. Even if any of them suffered damage, it would be equally shared among the seven of them through the Soul Linking Chains. As long as Long Haochen stayed unwavering like that, the enemies almost didnt have any possibility of wounding any of his teammates. In the rear, Han Yus performance was remarkable. Using the Bright Reflection along with the Bright Discipline with great mastery. The addition of the two pieces of equipment at the Glorious Tier made him like a tiger that had grown wings. He was now even able to momentarily resist enemies at the sixth step. After all, he was a pure Guardian Knight. Except from the cultivation and the technical aspect, which he couldntpare with, he wasnt much weaker than Long Haochen on other defensive aspects. The Southern Mountains City was very huge, and because of the demons invasion, the battlefield epassed the whole area. Long Haochens position was in the central area of the city. Soon their allied forces would probably take attention of their activity. In this area, the strongest demons were all at the seventh step, but simrly, on the human side, the strongest powerhouses were also at most at the seventh step. Maybe powerhouses of the eighth step and above had discussed this in advance, but they didnt appear at this side of the battle. Of course perspicacious people would know that for a powerhouse at the eighth step, the all-out battle that happened above ground was a lot more crucial. If one side gained the absolute superiority in the air, that would mean the end of the war. The overwhelming majority of the demons they encountered during the street battles ranked between the third and the seventh step. After Long Haochens team had already disposed of several demons at the sixth step or above, how could the other fighters of the Alliance not pay attention to their group? Moreover, they were holding their ground against several demon powerhouses over the fifth and the sixth step. What a powerful Demon Hunt Squad! Could they already be at themander rank? These doubts appeared in many peoples minds. However, if they really were amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, why did none of them use wings condensed out of spiritual energy? Of course, given the enormous pressure he was currently facing, Long Haochen didnt know that their allies were moved to this extent. Under this much strain, his potential was squeezed out one bit after another, but his consumption of spiritual energy was also massive. Their situation had to take a turn for the better soon, or his spiritual energy would bepletely depleted sooner orter. _Should we retreat?_ If they drew back, the pressure on them would be lightened, but if they retreated just like that, wouldnt it make all their past struggles meaningless? The pressure on their allies would rise again. If only the enemy forces were a bit lower in quantity, this would be for the best. Although the Dual Headed Devil Eagle in the air was loathsome, it was in the end only a single enemy. If Long Haochen would be able to concentrate his attentionpletely on him, even if he couldnt beat him, he could at least guarantee that his teammates wouldnt suffer his attacks. But the most detestable enemies were the three distant ten-eyed Demonic Eye Soldiers. Their offensive strength wasnt formidable, but when the three of them cooperated together, it was enough to surpass the defense of Long Haochens Holy Shield ability. He would then need to make use of Divine Obstruction to block it, only barely diffusing it. They managed to pressure him to the extent that Long Haochens response became more and more strenuous. Although Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian had some ideas of rushing out to handle those enemies, they still refrained from taking action. If they really aimed at them with their current strength, even if they managed to wound the three Demonic Eye Soldiers seriously, they would probably not make it back alive. This was the reason why Long Haochen gave everyone the order to stay in formation. As long as they kept their formation, they would be able to bear the high pressure inflicted by the demon forces. _What should we do? Should we just renounce our past efforts?_ At this time, the pressure suddenly lessened, as in the air, five silhouettes rushed over like bolts of lightning. Without hesitation they were aiming precisely at the location of those three Demonic Eye Soldiers. Chapter 285 - Ensnare the opponent of the seventh step (II)

Chapter 285: Ensnare the opponent of the seventh step (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen looked around and saw a tall and feisty figure, carrying a pair of battle-axes. It swept at the demons aiming for Long Haochen, including that Golden Dual ded Demon and a great amount of other demon soldiers. Of course, his strength was however insufficient topletely resolve their predicament. This was precisely the powerful crowd warrior ability Tornado Strike. Seeing this person, Long Haochen waspletely shocked, because he surprisingly recognized this battle-ax warrior, who precisely turned out to be the fifth brother that lost 100,000 contribution points against them. In the battlefield, the fifth brothers performance was especially intrepid. While frantically swinging a pair of battle-axes and beheading the demons in front of him, he clearly made use of Madness. Even the demons attacks that reached his body were ineffective. With the suddenly reduced pressure, Long Haochen finally caught his breath, directing his gaze next in the direction of the three Demonic Eye Soldiers. The five silhouettes that appeared out of nowhere were a group of fighters with wings of condensed spiritual energy at their backs. They were powerhouses of the sixth step, clearly profiting from their condensed spiritual energy. The five of them appeared suddenly, led by a man seated on the back of a huge Six-legged Horse, a type of battle horse with a pair of wings on its back. It wasnt a unicorn, but a flying horse possessing six legs. It was one of the rarest types of mounts in the human world. Be it in the air or on the ground, it possessed a powerful fighting ability. The only pity was that it wasnt a magical beast of the holy attribute, but of the fire attribute. Otherwise, its utility would even surpass that of Starlight Unicorns. A knight d entirely in Radiant Equipment was riding this horse. With a towering shield in his left hand and a heavy sword in his right hand, he was riding the Six-legged Flying Horse, striking at a Demonic Eye Soldier in the next instant. An intense golden light suddenly spread from the center of his body, scattering around. Over a diameter of thirty meters, outside of those three Demonic Eye Soldiers, all the other demons were totally affected from the previous demonstration, enabling his other fourrades tond with ease. The next performance of these five happened right after a glint of radiant light shone. In the blink of an eye, the three approaching Demonic Eye Soldiers had already be corpses. Their strong offense improved the situation on Long Haochens side enormously. The 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad was led by a formidable knight. It was exactly the same person who had previously apologized to Long Haochen for the trouble his teammates had caused. After getting rid of the three Demonic Eye Soldiers, Zhang Fangfang turned around, giving a thumbs up in Long Haochens direction. In response, Long Haochen raised the heavy sword in his hand against his own shoulder, performing a knight salute. Since they still stood on a battlefield, he didnt have time to say anything to Zhang Fangfang, but when their eyes met, they shared an understanding look. It could be said that the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad had happened to arrive at a perfect time. They not only helped to relieve Long Haochens group from a great deal of pressure, but alsounched another attack against the demons ranks. They matched harmoniously with Long Haochens side and thereby also reduced the pressure on the human army. Themanders of the Alliance werent foolish enough to let such an opportunity slip by, andmanded the human soldiers tounch a counterattack, speeding forward through a range of thirty meters. From five, the opponents of Long Haochens squad were reduced to two, which made the battle a lot more rxed. Their defense was now concentrated against the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle, catching him off guard with theunch of a sudden projectile shining of bright light. In an instant, golden light erupted along with a blue light, and in Long Haochens hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light disappeared,unching its strongest attack, Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus. It aimed precisely at that very sly Golden Dual ded Demon. Long Haochen had already charged this attack for a long time, and beforeunching it, his Saint Spiritual Stoves Attraction ability instantly limited his opponents movements. Thebination of both attacks caused an increase of the scope of his spiritual stove. If used along with that powerful attack,to dy the distant Golden Dual ded Demons movements, it could be used with the highest efficiency. Next, a golden and blue dual-colored radiance appeared instantly in front of that sly enemy, carrying the same terrifying power as a very violent tide bursting forth. _Bang._ The Golden Dual ded Demons body was directly torn to shreds, but Long Haochen still didnt feel much at ease. Using Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus came with an even greater consumption than Asura Strike, consuming a total of 1,500 units of internal energy. And this was already taking his status as the Scion of Light into consideration, which lessened his consumption whenever he used any light element ability. This was the perfect opportunity for the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle that had always been waiting for a gap in Long Haochens defense. After breaking through thebined defenses of both Haoyue and Lin Xin, he violently rammed against Long Haochens Glorious Holy Shield. Magic erupted at close distance. It was abination of fire and darkness elemental magic, which passed through the defense of the Holy Shield and the Holy Spirit Guard and sent Haochen flying backwards. Fortunately, with the Soul Linking Chains vitality sharing ability, seven lights simultaneously lit up. From the beginning of the battle, this was the first time Long Haochen faced a crisis. After aiming his attack at Long Haochen, the Dual-Headed Devil Eagles enormous body crashed in the middle of Long Haochens squads formation. Facing this crisis, the seven members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad didnt have any hesitation at all. Beforeunching the attack that killed the Golden Dual ded Demon, Long Haochen had already given them a signal. Due to this, hisrades were prepared in advance. A ck figure suddenly appeared in front of this Dual-Headed Devil Eagle. This massive figures appearance caused the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle, prepared to continue his attacks, to be stiff, stopping his attacks at once. It was not only him, all the other demons surrounding Long Haochens group had the same reaction. This was caused by a gigantic ck Dragon that had suddenly appeared in front of the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle. This ck Dragon was over ten meters tall, and the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads were all standing on his back. His enormous wings unfolded at his sides, giving him an intense intimidating appearance. Every demon facing his massive figure, immediately looked lifeless. At this time, an enormous golden ball fiercely struck the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle from the side. The terrifying st drew a miserable scream from the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle. This n was calcted in advance, giving the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle no chance to take advantage of the situation, causing him to fall to the ground. The gesture Long Haochen did previously as heunched Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus, was for the rest of the team to coordinate with him. Long Haochen was sent flying but the others were already prepared to follow up. Han Yu Qian was now taking over Long Haochens role, with Lin Xin and Chen Yinger protected at his back. At this very moment, Haoyues body was illuminated in a dazzling splendor, making use of defensive magic to protect the two mages on his back. That enormous ck Dragon had without a doubt the real appearance of one of the Demon God Emperors guards, but of course, it was a fake. The little pig McDull, who had already watched passively for so long, now got the chance to make use of his strength. This was only an imitation without any offensive power, but the sudden appearance of a ck Dragon caused a terrible suppression on the side of the shocked demons. It was down to the extent that the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle was violently bombarded by Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light, before he had the chance to react. Sima Xians attack also was onlyunched after using Storing Power. Right after Long Haochen did his gesture, his Energetic Ball of Light was swung at the sky, andunched an all-out attack, not only carrying the power of Ripples of Light, but also at the same time the Sacred Hammer ability with the full power of its terrible weight, directly smashing the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle head-on. The Dual-Headed Devil Eagle wasnt weak physically, but his forte lied in magical attacks. However, it was doomed by itsparably weak defensive power. Under such circumstance and against such a terrible weapon, he did not only lose his bnce from the bombardment of attacks, but was felled by thebination of Crush, Ripples of Light, and Sacred Hammer. An ear-piercing boo hoo sound rang from nowhere. With Sima Xian attacking now, how could Wang Yuanyuan not follow? The Gigantic Divine Soul Shield appeared out of nowhere, sharply striking the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle at his left wing. Wang Yuanyuans choice of aim was very clever, and although the Dual-Headed Devil Eagles defensive power could notpare with the demons specialized for close quarterbat, he was still at the seventh step. If she had aimed at another ce, she would at most have wounded him lightly. But the area around its wings was different. This ce contained a lot of nerves, and was also the crucial part enabling him to fly. With a miserable shriek, half of the Dual-Headed Devil Eagles wing was forcibly chopped off. At this time, Long Haochen had already returned. Although he had been sted away, he managed to avoid any real wounds on other body parts than his arms by the means of his powerful defense, and the defensive reinforcement from the two spells of the sixth step. He even managed to recover his Glorious Holy Shield on his way back. The Light Elemental Fairy Yatings body suddenly lit up in a gaudy golden color, spreading to Long Haochens back. It came from theunch of Radiant World, which temporarily transfered light essence to Long Haochen. Although this gave him a non-negligeable burden, it let him recover the great amount of spiritual energy tounch this blow. The Dual-Headed Devil Eagle was severely wounded. Nevertheless, with a glint in his eyes, an enormous darkness and fire dual-elemental bright mantle rushed forth from his body. But unfortunately, he was already unable to block Long Haochen at that time. Asura Strike! Ripples of Light caused Asura Strikes originally terrifying power to became even more unreasonable, and in the midst of mes and darkness, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light pierced through the Dual-Headed Devil Eagles body, easily cutting his body in two. When the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle fell on the ground, losing his flying ability, he was already doomed to death. Luc Xis group of six opened their eyes wide. When Long Haochens group of seven burst out with explosive power, the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad was already out of contention, but they didnt even fully understood what happened, just seeing a Dual-Headed Devil Eagle die so easily.

Chapter 286: Ensnare the opponent of the seventh step (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In terms of strength, the Dual-Headed Devil Eagle was at the early stages of the seventh step, making him no match for the Fiend Lord they fought before. While the Fiend Lord was handled by exploiting his weak points, this Dual-Headed Devil Eagle on the other hand was proficient in magic. Therefore, it was a tragedy for him to have fallen for the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squads trap. Of course, the most important contributor in killing him was the little pig McDull, who deserved at least half of the credit. The deterrence caused by the ck Dragons appearance wasnt finished; he could of course not attack, but could at least issue a dragon cry to the skies. Seeing that enormous ck Dragon head towards the demons, the various races of demons felt confused at his oppression towards demons. Of course, they were unable to understand why a personal guard of His Majesty Demon God Emperor would attack them. For a moment, those middle ranked demons lost all desire for battle. Morale was the most important aspect on the battlefield.Iin case a side suffered a morale blow, it could very possibly cause them to suffer a crushing defeat. Seeing the decline of morale among the demon forces, the Southern Mountains City immediatelymanded its soldiers tounch a counterattack. Those soldiers were part of an injured army, but they were all veterans. Having survived so far, they could be called the top of the elite of the Southern Mountain Pass army. They understood that their survival was bound to this battle. Even if it took them everything they had, they were willing to fight to the end. So, they clenched their teeth and charged at the enemy. The troops werent in too bad a state, having just received their reinforcements. They had powerful support; led by dozens of Demon Hunt Squads as well as the reinforcement army of five thousand Alliance fighters. The Temple Alliance brazenly walked on the streets,unching the counterattack against the demons. Since the Temple Alliance dispatched troops when the Southern Mountains City entered a state of emergency, they had certain grasp of the situation. Aside from the Knight Temple that dispatched their strongest Temple Knight Regiment, the other five great Temples dispatched a lot of elites of the fifth step or above. And although this army could notpare to the strength of the Demon Hunt Squads, thebat power they disyed on the battlefield was still terrifying. With both sides at the fifth step, a single human by himself could handle three or four demons. This was due to their difference of equipment! Even an ordinary armor gave them a much better protection than the demons. And dont forget that they were an army, and every army had its discipline, needing to coordinate with and assist each other. Although the demon armies were powerful, they wereposed of many races, they didnt always move in groups that optimized their power and mostly relied on their superior numbers to defeat the opponent. Therefore, the counterattack was orchestrated sessfully in the Southern Mountains City. However, Long Haochen leading the two Demon Hunt Squads, moved forward at a slower speed, and didnt directly participate in the battle yet. Luc Xis crowd healing was released all around. After his internal spiritual energy was raised by a thousand through the means of the Holy Spirit Pill, his healing ability rose greatly. His entire body glinted in golden color, and, bathed in the warmth of the healing magic, the battlefield was filled with his energy. However, no one knew that it wasnt because of their exhaustion and injuries from the previous battle that Long Haochen had everyone slow down their pace. The Dual-Headed Devil Eaglesst strike was violent, but the Soul Linking Chains truly deserved to be called equipment of the Epic Tier.After the attack was countered to the greatest extent possible by Long Haochens defensive abilities, including Divine Obstruction, they showed their utility by dividing the remaining damage among the seven of them. This remaining damage was almost negligible, and no one even required Luc Xis crowd healing. As for Long Haochens consumption of spiritual energy, there was no real problem. He had the help of both the Eternal Melody and the Light Elemental Fairy Yating to help him with this aspect, and when required, Haoyue could even take the initiative to use Radiant World to help him recover even faster. To preserve a groups fighting ability, no one at his level couldpare with Long Haochen. The real reason why he slowed the pace was because of the pain that he was currently bearing. He was left without choice but to move slower, to let himself gather his energy to endure this pain. This pain had its origins in the Eternal Melody. Starting from the first step he took on the battlefield, Long Haochens Eternal Melody started to burn, just like an insatiable beast, engulfing all the soul energy invisible to the other peoples eyes from the battlefield. Long Haochens mental strength was far stronger than that of ordinary people, but thousands of drops of soul energy wereing over to his side, giving him a really unpleasant feeling. Moreover, along with the absorption of the soul energy, the Pendant of Eternal Melody kept giving off a scorching feeling, and the burning pain had always affected him. If not for Long Haochens astonishing willpower, he surely couldnt possibly have persevered for so long. He could feel that this soul energy would rapidly disappear after entering Eternal Melody, but the burning feeling it gave off kept increasing. And he could also feel that the Eternal Melody wasnt omnipotent either. It was only able to absorb soul energy in a diameter/radius of two hundred meters, and past this distance, it couldnt absorb. Thus, he slowed his pace to let the Eternal Melodys absorption speed slow down, trying to digest the absorbed souls as quickly as possible. Otherwise, this burning sensation would make him feel as though his chest was about to explode. How could he fight in this state? However, this burning sensation was notpletely devoid of advantages. In the burning heat, Long Haochen clearly felt that his liquid spiritual energy was rotating around the Saint Spiritual Stove at an increased speed, producing a constantpression of spiritual energy. And although Eternal Melody gave him a burning sensation on the chest, it also made him feel as if he was going to grasp a new insight. However, this wasnt a situation where he could sit down and cultivate, otherwise, considering his power of understanding, how couldnt he know that gaining this insight would be of great benefit to him. The Eternal Melodys burning sensation cooled down because of Long Haochens slowed pace. Finally loosening his breath, he felt really unwilling to let the Eternal Melody go on absorbing the souls energy. This Tower of Eternity seemed to have some benefits, but due to the fact that it was passed down from a necromancer, he never had a good opinion of it. The others took the opportunity to recover their spiritual energy with the help of the Spiritual Gathering Halo released by Long Haochen. Although they were now advancing at a slower pace, their previous performance caused everyone to see them in a new light. It was precisely from their breakthrough that a butterfly effect was produced, leading to this counterattack. Is everyone alright? Long Haochen turned around, looking at Luc Xi. Although he was asking everyone, this question was actually directed at the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad. The seven members of their 21st squad had the Soul Linking Chains, so any problem that arose for one would be shared with everyone else. Luc Xi replied, No problem, we can still fight. Long Haochen nodded, Lets go then. The burning sensation on his chest had finally disappeared, but as they would keep advancing, the amount of corpses would only increase, but Long Haochen had no choice. He could only bear the pain alone; who would cower before the battle at such time? The counterattack greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the Temple Alliances side. Led by the reinforcement troops, they immediately suppressed the demon forces located inside of the Southern Mountains City, and slowly pushed forward, recovering the lost territory. The reappearance of Long Haochens group on the battlefield immediately became one of the assets to break through the enemy ranks. Long Haochen was leading the charge, Haoyue, Yi Jun with his magic cover and Bai Xiaomos botanical summons producing a thorny undergrowth at the sides of the team, strengthened its defense. For the moment, they were an irresistible force that only kept going forward. The group of thirteen advanced with a coordination with each other that only improved as the time passed, and even demons of the sixth step were unable to stop their advance. As for those at the seventh step, they were after all a small minority, and having already killed two of them, they couldnt have the bad luck of always attracting their attention. Long Haochen became the busiest of the group. He not only gave orders, killed enemies, and handled the defense, but he also recovered those demons corpses by making use of Eternal Melody. Of course, Long Haochen currently had to be picky, and directly ignored those below the fifth step, only recovering the others. To say nothing of the corpses value, the magical crystals from demons were already worth a considerable price. At this time, the discipline within their team was brought to the fullest. Other than Long Haochen, the others in both squads were solely preupied with killing the enemy, defending and providing support. No one went to recover the demon corpses, and even if Long Haochen let them, they wouldnt take the initiative. If an outstanding team was affected in its momentum by the thirst for benefits, would it really deserve to be called outstanding? Long Haochen only said a single sentence, that he would be the one to go recover the spoils of war, distributing it after the battle. The others carried out these orders well. Until now, Long Haochen had always been fair to the team, fair and selfless, a behaviour that everyone got to see with their own eyes. As the one who always chose to bear the most difficult tasks in the whole team, no matter how proud these elites of their respective Temples could be, they were currently whollymitted to him. Someone acting as the core of a powerful team didnt only have to be strong in battle, but also needed to be able to handle the most important duties. At the same time, he also had to form his team into a cohesive unit, and to bring out the most out of everyone in the team. The zing sensation from the massacre before reappeared on Long Haochens chest, but even Long Haochen was shocked to discover that this time, his ability to resist the Eternal Melodys burning sensation was visibly a lot stronger. The reason for this was unclear, but it could atst be considered a good thing. More importantly, when the previous amount of souls appeared again, the internal spiritual energy in his body gathered frantically, and under this burning sensation, the quantity of internal spiritual energy in his body didnt seem to lessen even though he kept using various abilities continuously. It seemed that the Eternal Melody carried some extraordinary ability. _Could it be that the Eternal Melody can also restore my spiritual energy with the soul energy?_ This thought came to his mind, but Long Haochen couldnt afford to pay attention to his own bodys circumstances. A ck light descended from the sky, and smashed against the counterattacking army of the Temple Alliance with a loud bang. In the midst of this violent sound of explosion, a purple ck-colored gas broke out, enveloping dozens of soldiers of the Six Great Temples that didnt manage to evade it in time. Those poor souls had no chance to survive and melted instantly. Chapter 287 - Moon Demon of the Eighth Step VS Radiant Haochen (I)

Chapter 287: Moon Demon of the Eighth Step VS Radiant Haochen (I)

A handsome man appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the battlefield. Thats right, his appearance was exactly the same as a human, the only difference being his pair of purple eyes. d in a ck outfit looking luxurious, with many dark purple symbols on it, his cor was turned up and hid his neck. His skin was extremely pale, and he had a handsome appearance. His pair of slim white hands was spread to the two sides of his body, producing two purple ck spherical balls. He shot them from his slender fingers, aiming right at the crowds of the Six Great Temples. ck fog erupted from the explosion of his violent attack. Long Haochens group was at a close distance from this handsome man, thus bing a target of his purple ck colored spheres. Raising his shield and putting Holy Shield to use, Long Haochen took his unenviable responsibility of stopping this purple ckish balls explosion. However, this ck-d youth was just too strong. A mere little purple ck colored ball almost sent Long Haochen flying, and the Glorious Holy Shield was not only damaged despite the use of Holy Shield, its main part even looked a bit burned. What kind of strength is that??Everyone turned pale with fright, making haste to get into formation and a great amount of defensive spells covered Long Haochen. Perhaps others wouldnt have recognized the n affiliation of this human-looking ck-d man, but how could Long Haochen not recognize? Regardless of whether this was based on his appearance or his clothes, this was clearly an authentic powerhouse of the Moon n, and one at the eighth step at that. On the battlefield, this was the first time Long Haochens group confronted an enemy at the eighth step. Looking at him, Long Haochen couldnt help but ponder deeply. This kind of powerhouse of the eighth step from the Moon n should be fighting in the air, but this ck-d youth joined the battle on the ground. This simply implied that in the air, the number of demons was abundant, which could be no good thing for the Temple Alliance as well as the Southern Mountains City. The youth from the Moon n looked at them, filled with disdain. He simply stayed at the same ce, motionless, and bombarded them with his purple ck colored balls, continuously reaping human lives. Many attacks of human mages wereunched against him, but were blocked by a simple defensive shield that he released, easily rendering them useless. In a few short breaths, he had already massacred close to a hundred humans. Long Haochen suddenly turned back, giving a look to hisrades. Everyone gave him a determined and resolute look. Han Yu, what are the ten standards of a knight? Long Haochen suddenly shouted loudly. Han Yu replied loudly without hesitation, Modesty, honesty,passion, courage, fairness, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, charity, righteousness. Long Haochen clenched his teeth, Follow me. Saying this, he put two pills in his mouth, carrying a determined look, approaching that Moon Demon of the eighth step withrge strides. When Long Haochen took this first step, the twelve people behind him, including Caier on his back, all felt Long Haochens determined resolution. They felt from the depths of their hearts that Long Haochen was a real knight! In that instant, Long Haochen didnt have honor in mind, neither benefit, but just thought of doing his utmost to resist the Moon Demons attack, so that more of the warriors and mages of the Temple Alliance would stay alive. That was his sole purpose. This was not about facing difficulty, but purely facing death without fear. With every step he took, Long Haochens aura became more imposing, rapidly bringing out the effects of the Bloodthirsty Pill and the Spiritual Bursting Pill. A dense golden light continuously rushed forth from his body, and at this very instant, Long Haochens chest seemed to be burning to the limit, while the red-hot feeling immediately spread to his whole body. In his chest, the Saint Spiritual Stove seemed to disappear together with the Eternal Melody. Instead, the effect of a ck hole, madly surging in all the light element in his surroundings, manifested. A divine energy rushed forth from Long Haochens body like a volcanic eruption, and a zing sunlight fire immediately ascended from it. A pair of golden wings unfolded at his back, close to his shoulders. Condensed spiritual energy. That was it, the condensed spiritual energy that was the symbol of a Radiant Knight of the sixth step. Who would have expected Long Haochen to have a breakthrough at such a moment. This breakthrough didnt rely on the power of the Bloodthirsty Pill and the Spiritual Bursting Pill, but on thebination of his determination, the effects of Eternal Melody and the Saint Spiritual Stove. It had already been a few months since he reached this critical point, and those months of cultivation could be said to have led to this moment. Long Haochen had already umting all the spiritual energy he needed for this breakthrough. And at his time, the determination in him grew to the peak, choosing to face the enormous pressure brought by the Moon Demon of the eighth step. The spiritual energy in his body burst forth at this time, finally breaking past the bottleneck of the sixth step. Right before this suicidal battle, his cultivation reached the level of a Radiant Knight of the sixth step. The Scion of Lights capacity wasnt only his genius of understanding, but also his willpower and his extremely pure heart. Each of Long Haochens condensed wings was a meter and a half long, spreading from his back, but not affecting Caier because they were made of pure energy. At the sixth step, everyone would have differences in their spiritual wings. Long Haochens spiritual wings were extremely unusual. On his entirely resplendent golden wings, there seemed to be countless little glints of the sun. Each of the spiritual energy feathers was extremely distinct, and the instant his wings unfolded, the light essence in the air seemed to flock to them, as ifing back to its source. The dazzling wings illuminated at least a scope of a hundred meters, making it impossible for them to go unnoticed by others. All friendly forces in this range felt at that time that their spiritual energy recovered, and that their wounds healed a little. Long Haochens eyes glinted brilliantly, and his ck hair also became golden colored. At this time, he gave off a unique sensation. It was as if, as long as he would be present, all darkness would disperse from the area. The Moon Demon immediately felt Long Haochens presence, unconsciously turning around. When he saw the intense golden wings on Long Haochens back, his face was immediately filled with a loathing expression. With a cold snort, he headed towards Long Haochens direction and aimed a punch in the air, immediatelyunching a ck light wave of a third of meter in diameter at Long Haochen. Long Haochen didnt avoid it. With the boost from the Spiritual Bursting Pill and the Bloodthirsty Pill, and with his new advancement to the realm of a Radiant Knight, he felt as if he was filled with unlimited spiritual energy. The Brilliant Holy Shield in his hand suddenly disappeared, and weing this attack, two swords were wielded,unching an Asura Strike. This was unexpectedly an Asura Strikeunched against another Asura Strike. A golden colored illumination immediately spread in the air, and this golden radiance spread over three meters onwards, carrying an ear-piercing hissing sound just like the one that originally erupted from the Deste Hissing Cavern, shaking the whole battlefield. This ck light wave was directly sliced in two in front of Long Haochens Asura Strike, and produced an intense explosion. Its force struck against the ground on the two sides behind him. The traces of the explosion extended over five meters diameter. Eh? The Moon Demon gave Long Haochen a surprised look. Although the illumination that was emitted from Long Haochens two wings was intense, he could clearly feel with his cultivation being at the eighth step that he was merely facing a human knight at the sixth step of cultivation and no more. Being only at the sixth step, how could he face his attacks? The Brilliant Holy Shield appeared again in Long Haochens left hand, meanwhile a silvery white radiance bubbled out from his chest. The Moon Demon nned to avoid it, but discovered that he couldnt. As it reached him, the silvery white radiance attached to his body, and connected the two of them like a bridge. This was the Saint Spiritual Stoves new ability after having just evolved. At the same time Long Haochens cultivation broke through to the sixth step, his Saint Spiritual Stove had alsopleted its second evolution. The Alliances powerhouses around him that were being beaten down couldnt help but cheer loudly, filled with excitement. The arrival of the Moon Demon at the eighth step was a disaster for them. But during this time of crisis, a human knight, releasing spiritual wings, appeared on the battlefield. The fact that he resisted the attack of this Moon Demon and managed to use the Saint Spiritual Stove implied, that this Moon Demon was temporarily unable tounch any attacks against the counterattacking human forces. Filled with a growing energy, they charged madly at the demons in front of them. Hmpf. The Moon Demons purples eyes were filled with a cold look, and his body shed, appearing like a purple bolt in the air, unconsciously arriving directly in front of Long Haochen. Still without any weapon, his fist directly aimed at Long Haochen. A series of rumbles could be heard from his punch dealt in his direction. In an instant, Long Haochen was already cloaked in eightyers of magic surrounding his body, and each of them was at the fifth step. They came from the joined act of Haoyue, Han Yu, Lin Xin, Luc Xi as well as Yi Jun. The strength of the Moon Demon at the eighth step was indeed brutal, but in front of eight defensive spells, it was still be weakened to some extent. Bowing forward and using Divine Obstruction, Long Haochen suddenly stepped forward, while the spiritual wings at his back increased in brightness. The sunlight fire condensed on his Brilliant Holy Shield and the Holy Shield ability that wasunched directly from it were used to the maximum extent once again. In a violent explosion, Long Haochen was still pushed eight steps back, barely standing straight. A golden illumination suddenly covered the body of the seven members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad. With the absolute power resulting from the eighth step of cultivation, the existing gap was still immense. Even if his cultivation finally reached the sixth step and he took two instantaneous boosting pills, he was still beaten back. If not for the Soul Sharing Shackles effects, this mere attack would even have caused him to be seriously wounded. This wont do, we wont be able to block his attacks. At the same time Long Haochens body was pushed back, in his hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light rapidly drew a symbol in the air,unching Wiping Demon sh. The myriad of its radiances managed to slow down the speed of the Moon Demon. Seeing this symbol, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Han Yu, Lin Xin, took a pill, and on Long Haochens back, Caier did exactly the same. Meanwhile, Long Haochen immediately swallowed two other pills, an Energetic Pill and a Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill. Chapter 288 - Moon Demon of the Eighth Step VS Radiant Haochen (II)

Chapter 288: Moon Demon of the Eighth Step VS Radiant Haochen (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Bang. A glowing golden me suddenly burst forth from Long Haochens body, filled with an intense light that was even enough to make the Moon Demon look sluggish. This was because he discovered that although this human knight was a lot weaker than him, the light element he released was a lot more intense than his own darkness element. But how could this be possible? Wasnt he from the most noble Moon n?! mes didnt only burst out from Long Haochens body alone, but different colored mes erupted from the bodies of his sixrades. Caiers body was lit in a grey me, Lin Xins in a red me, Sima Xians and Han Yus in golden mes, Wang Yuanyuans in a silver me and Chen Yingers in a transparent white me. As if they were propelled to a single target, the six different mes instantly merged together, entering Long Haochens body. At this very moment, a purple figure suddenly nudged the side of Long Haochens body. A resonant dragon cry immediately broke out from his body, its might causing even the Moon Demon at the eighth step to unconsciously take a step back, looking bewildered at the sight of the entirely golden Long Haochen. _How could this happen? Why do I feel a threat from him, and moreover such a powerful one_ Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills enabled the users to gather their spiritual energy in a single persons body by using the magic core crystals of Grand Fiends as material. Each Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill needed an entire Grand Fiend crystal, as well as many other materials to be sessfully created. As Lin Xins newest creation, the twenty first general grade Demon Hunt Squad had only two batches of them and no more. And this was the first time it was ever used. Facing the Moon Demon at the eighth step, Long Haochen didnt have time for sentimentality, which would have been misced and furthermore probablypletely useless at this time. The current Long Haochen didnt only get the boost from the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, but also fused with Haoyue. At the time the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills caused six massive gulps of spiritual energy to enter his own body, Long Haochen felt that his recently condensed spiritual cavities burst forth with a terrifying amount of spiritual energy. Even with the boost from the Energetical Pill, his body was still unable to bear it. In fact, he had already taken a total of four pills, and had just recently broken through to the sixth step of cultivation, therefore, his cultivation was still unstable. The spiritual energy attacking him from inside his body almost caused him to copse. After all, those Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills were only created based on theory, and couldnt be tested prior to their use on the battlefield due to their high production cost. At this crucial time, a very familiar energy entered Long Haochens body. Its presence caused him to feel his whole body bursting with warmth, before immediately gathering the spiritual energy that was in disorder in his body. After fusing with it, as a whole, his spiritual energy was still as massive as before, but it wasnt as uncontroble anymore. Instead, it mellowed a lot until it was entirely under his control. Without a doubt, this familiar energy came from Haoyue, and because of their fusion, Long Haochen finally managed to control the terrifying spiritual energy amassing within him. Everyone in the 21st Demon Hunt Squad had surpassed the 3,000th level of spiritual energy, and adding the spiritual energy of Long Haochen, who reached an amount of over 4,000, their total amount of spiritual energy was already above 20,000. This equaled the cultivation level corresponding to the eighth step! Unfortunately, Long Haochen was still at the sixth step of cultivation, and visibly didnt reach the realm of the eighth step himself. But even so, after his fusion with Haoyue, he alone still gained strengthparable to the peak of the seventh step. His spiritual energy expanded violently, and, added to thebined power, raised the total of their spiritual energy to a level already approaching 30,000. The wings of the current Long Haochen doubled in size, reaching three meters length each. They spread even wider, and each feather distinctly came to life. On some, a new golden symbol appeared. Conversely, their radiance weakened, but a profound change transmogrified his pair of wings, and his whole body almost became transparent. This was the effect from the use of the Brilliant Body possessed by Temple Knights of the seventh step. And since he gained strength at the peak level of the seventh step, he was able to exhibit aplete Brilliant Body. On his forehead, nine dazzling purple symbols appeared, and a purple glint could be seen on his spiritual wings feathers. This was visibly an effect from the fusion with Haoyue. Han Yu, pass me the sword! Long Haochen shouted loudly, and immediately stepped forward, appearing like a bolt of lightning in the sky. His dazzling figure appeared in front of the Moon Demon in the very next instant. At his back was a golden glint appeared, which was caught by Long Haochen with ease. It was Bright Discipline. The current Long Haochen could be said to be the teams absolute hidden trump. Nevertheless, the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills would onlyst for thirty seconds. Considering the strong boost of his spiritual energy, there would be no problem resisting the Moon Demons attacks for thirty seconds, but what would happen after that? Therefore, Haochen currently didnt think that acting as a Guardian Knight would be the appropriate choice, and easily switched to his role as Retribution Knight. From both of his hands, Demon Wiping sh suddenly burst out, filling the air with a brilliant aura. At the same time, Long Haochens spiritual energy was saturated with intense killing intent. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating floated above his shoulder, her chant reverberating even louder. She didnt make use of any supportive spells, instead focusing all her chants on offensive spells to boost Long Haochens power. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light transformed into a myriad of bolts of light and water, and Bright Discipline turned sparkling red, containing a highly concentrated sunlight fire. The two different swords released the same Demon Wiping sh, breaking out with ear-piercing hissing sounds just like back in the Deste Cavern. In front of Long Haochens imposing counterattack, the Moon Demon at the eighth step didnt dare act carelessly. His two hands let outplex dark purple-colored symbols,pletely taking the shape of a dark purple wall to block the Demon Wiping shes attacks. However, along with the boost from Brilliant Body, the firepower of Long Haochens Demon Wiping sh increased by a terrifying amount. In the midst of the hissing sounds, the Moon Demon realized to his shock that a little hole had appeared in his defense. The attack hit his body sharply and felt like a series of stings. Youre looking for death! The Moon Demon shouted with fury, his body also taking on a transparent dark purple-color. He used Brilliant Body inbination with Body of Darkness, releasing it with a lot more ease than Long Haochen did before. The two hands putting its palms together, a dark purple curved moon rose at his back, whereas the magic wall in front of him extended suddenly, smashing into Long Haochens two Demon Wiping shes. However, at the same time, a red glint instantly fell on him, giving this Moon Demon at the eighth step a red shine. It was the Retribution Knight ability Lock. Immediately, Long Haochens body engulfed the surroundings like a hurricane, rapidly spinning around lit with a ring red light. In his right hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light rushed forth like a bolt of lightning. This growing sword of the light and water dual-element immediately released two dragon cries to resound in the air. They twirled and aimed for the Moon Demon like two angry dragons ready to bite. Thirty seconds were a really short amount of time, so Long Haochen chose to go berserk with an absolutely frantic attack. Only this way could he bring out the full effect of the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill. Lock on, Sacrifice and Last Gambit were used along with Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus. These four abilities were all used together at the same time. Though Long Haochen was temporarily at the peak of the seventh step of cultivation, his various abilities were still only at the peak of the fifth step. In the end, he had yet to learn abilities of the sixth or the seventh step. He was thus naturally limited to the use of abined attack tounch a powerful offense. Under this suppression that was hard to bear, this boost of strength let him disy even stronger abilities. The dark-purple wall appeared weak in front of Long Haochens Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus. This mere attack costed Long Haochen a total of 10,000 units of spiritual energy. And because he originally only had a total amount of 4,000 units of spiritual energy, the addition of Final Gambit and Sacrifice required a considerable amount of spiritual energy. The effects of 10,000 spiritual energy put into a terrifying ability such as Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus, were hard to imagine even for Long Haochen himself. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, transformed into two dragons, breaking through the Moon Gods defenses and striking violently against his two fists. The dragon cry resounded in the midst of a blood-curdling screech. The dark purple moon at the back of the Moon Demon of the eighth step had a magnificent appearance. It was even able to forcibly cut Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which was transformed into the two dragons, with a dense sh of moonlight. However, the Moon Demons face suddenly turned pale, because the little cut off dragons didnt disappear, but made its way into his body, causing the Moon Demon to let out a miserable scream in the midst of a heavy fog. This was the corroding effect of the light element against the darkness element. Further adding the prative effects from the addition of the water element. With enough spiritual energy invested in it, Bright Rain C Thrusting Hibiscus became the incarnation of Dual Dragons of Bright Rain, not only possessing a formidable offensive power, but also carrying an extreme restrictive ability. Even a strong opponent such as the Moon Demon at the eighth step was unable to resist it, and was unable to move for a moment. Such a sudden chance, how could Long Haochen let it slip by? With both of his hands, Bright Discipline was held high above his head, but Long Haochen didnt immediatelyunch the attack. Dense golden ripples ascended around his body, it was Storing Power! Long Haochens spiritual energy in a Conjoined spiritual boosted state,bined with Haoyues spiritual energy, the spiritual energy from the light essence contributed by the Eternal Melody, and the spiritual energy from the Light Elemental Fairy Yating were gathered, concentrating within him at a fast speed. If it had been the Holy Spirit Sword from before, it would have instantly melted under the force of this terrifying amount of spiritual energy, but the material of Bright Discipline was extraordinarily tough, making this concentration possible. In this instant, the golden light released by Long Haochen could even be immediately seen in the chaotic war happening at high altitude. From this, one could well imagine how terrifying his current bursting force was. The golden spiritual energy concentrating rapidly produced a massive distortion in the air. Chapter 289 - Moon Demon of the Eighth Step VS Radiant Haochen (III)

Chapter 289: Moon Demon of the Eighth Step VS Radiant Haochen (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Bright Discipline emitted a great amount of power filled with sacred light, and this intense holy aura caused all the demons who could sense it to cower. Long Haochen didnt expect the attack to have such a deterrence effect on the demons in the surroundings. He would never have anticipated that, after an enormous amount of spiritual energy was poured into it, this sword at the Glorious Tier would show such great effects. Long Haochen firmly gripped Bright Discipline with both of his hands, but his body trembled slightly. He could ascertain that if not for the tremendous increase of his control, stemming from the fusion with Haoyue, he would not be able to use Storing Power steadily. But regardless of how huge the pain he endured was, his expression was still as firm, and those exceptionally firm eyes glowed brilliantly. He coldly faced the Moon Demon at the eighth step from a distance of only a few meters. The appearance of the formidable Moon Demon, had immediately caused a huge panic. But the offensive power of the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain served as a counterattack. Though it only caused light wounds to the Moon Demon, this formidable ability of fusing water with light shackled the opponent. And this happened while the attack also continuously corroded his body. Because he just had used a powerful ability to resist the two consecutive attacks from Long Haochen, it came with a certain time of recoil. Therefore, the Moon Demon was temporarily unable to counterattack. Still being suppressed by the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain, he panicked at the sight of this youth storing power. Although this attack had yet to be unleashed, a mere look at the sword in his hand caused his body to ache dully. Long Haochen was really going all out, showing no restraint. Afterunching thisst blow, he would lose all fighting capability, but even so, he wasnt the slightest bit hesitant. Even if he were to die here, he had tounch this full-power attack. The Holy Sword embedded in Bright Discipline itself became transparent, even more transparent than crystal, reflecting countless traces of holy light. Long Haochen was waiting, waiting for the split second the Moon Demon would throw off the effects of the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain, or perhaps for the duration of the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill toe to an end. Even if it was just one quota of a thousand more power, he still needed to make full use of it while going all out. His recently condensed Spiritual Cavities were overloaded with the spiritual energy present in his body. Having lost all ability to absorb the external light essence, Yating still disyed utter loyalty to her duty, sending her power into Bright Discipline for thisst blow. The Moon Demons panic increased as the Bright Discipline kept strengthening more and more. _I dont have a single second to waste, this human is really able to threaten my life!_ The Moon Demons purple eyes suddenly became shiny, just as resplendent as crystals. The dark purple moon at his back, which had an illusory look because of the Dual Dragons of Bright Rains attack, suddenly brightened. The purple light on his body rose, and a dark purple liquid gushed out from his mouth. This blood was instantly transformed into dark purple symbols in the air, and as that bent moon at his back trembled, a radiance immediately erupted from his chest, forcibly breaking past the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain. Starting this struggle clearly gave him an immense burden, and his purple eyes darkened right after breaking through the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain. At this very moment, Long Haochen made his move. Bright Discipline carried an indescriptible sounding out of nowhere, and the next second, all the surrounding radiance was gathered on this attack. It created a golden surge in the air, which produced a forceful attractive force. It attracted even the corpses on the ground, absorbing everything into a pitch-ck crevice. A sharp attack, this was an iparably sharp attack. All the surrounding people could distinctly feel the terror produced by this sharp attack, giving off the truly terrible feeling, as if nothing in the world could possibly block it. Of course, the Moon Demon wouldnt wait helplessly for death. At the time the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain disappeared, a dark purple radiance emerged from him and his right hand was stretched to his back, surprisingly grabbing the condensed bent moon. He pulled it off in a final desperate try. Under normal circumstances, even in this powerful state, Long Haochen could only possibly sumb. After all, the gap between the seventh and the eighth step was far wider than the gap between the fifth and the sixth step. But fortunately, the difference lied in the fact that only one party attacked while the other side simply defended. Also, Long Haochen was not afraid of death,pletely ready to stake his life. The instant he charged in the direction of the Moon Demon, he didnt even think about returning alive. However, the Moon Demon was a powerhouse of the eighth step, among the most outstanding of the Moon ns younger generation. Obviously, such a person didnt want to die. Even less since he didnt even consider Long Haochen a serious threat. His disdain was so strong that only after Long Haochen staked everything he had, including his life, he waspelled to use any amount of his real power. The force of Storing Power was added to Asura Strike. Those were the only abilities used in this strike. Because the massive amount of spiritual energy surpassed his control by arge extent, even Ripples of Lights couldnt be put to use. But those two abilities added up well, carrying the overwhelming power of Sacrifice and Final Gambit. Against an opponent restricted by the Dual Dragons of Bright Rain, this made it all the more powerful. It wouldnt be exaggerating to say that even a real knight of the seventh step couldnt equal Long Haochen in the depth of hisprehension towards the ability Storing Power. After having used it for cultivation over a long period of time, and sessfully breaking through to the fifth step with its help, Long Haochen was a specialist in using this ability. For a short duration, this Asura Strike contained close to ten thousand units of spiritual energy, and Asura Strikepressed it to such a degree that its power could be well imagined. Tch Without any collision, but only a bizarre sound, the shattered space came to a stop before the dark purple bent moon. Long Haochen and the Moon Demon seemed to have frozen at this instant. However, the expression on the Moon Demons face became exceptionally pale. Dark purple blood seemed to erupt from all apertures of his head, and that very handsome face instantly became sinister. _Ding_ , With a crunchy sound, a crack appeared on that bent moonpletely made of energy, and just as it became visible to the surroundings, the gap instantly expanded onwards, finally bursting in the air with a final bang. With an explosion, the Moon Demons shoulder was violently torn apart. In that instant, Long Haochen and the Moon Demon seemed to havee to a stop, but Long Haochens body could distinctly be seen, shining in golden light as the spiritual wings on his back faded in color. The Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills effects seemed to have reached its limit, its effects about to disappear before the end of the thirty seconds duration. Long Haochens face was as nk as a sheet of paper, and the same went for the sixrades behind him. After this attack, their spiritual energy was close to beingpletely exhausted. And with the added uses of Sacrifice and Last Gambit, Long Haochens body already reached its limit. At this time, Haoyue separated from his body, also appearing to be in a same kind of weak state. Argh The Moon Demon abruptly spit out miserably. Since his birth, he never had suffered such a loss. Bright Discipline had pierced his shoulder deeply, and arge cut on his right chest was almost splitting his body in two. From there, a huge amount of ck blood gushed out madly. If he had been human, he would obviously have died from such serious wounds. The Moon Demon didnt draw back, and his purple eyes were lit in a mild red color. The expression on his face condensed the Moon Demons entire wrath and in his left hand a dark purple glint appeared. Aggressively aiming it at Long Haochens chest, he was filled with hatred towards this human youth, especially when seeing his weak appearance. But right at this time, a rose glint appeared out of nowhere, blocking in front of Long Haochen. With a loud bang, a red figure was violently sent flying, and along with her mount, she was smashed down to the ground. It was Li Xin. The previous battle had been carried out by the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, and everything happened very fast, thus, out of everyone from the 22nd Demon Hunt Squad, Li Xin was the first to notice the changes on Long Haochens body. Dont take the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills! Long Haochen shouted with a rough voice, blocking the members of the 22nd Demon Hunt Squad with a motion. At this very moment, he did an iprehensible movement. He suddenly exerted strength on his back, and Caier was suddenly thrown backwards, falling in the direction of Wang Yuanyuan. At this very moment, everyone only saw a glint of bright light, as he rapidly took out Bright Discipline. Along with a flickering light, the bodies of the other six members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were illuminated with golden light. But at the same time, as the six on the ground were bathed in this bright light, the light on Long Haochens body became nonexistent. Although his body was still in a very weak state, Long Haochens expression didnt waver. Even after sustaining such heavy injuries, the Moon Demon still didnt attempt to escape, bearing a very deep grudge against him. Without a doubt, he was the very target of his attacks. At such close distance, and with Long Haochens current state, could he possibly avoid the attackunched by the Moon Demon with all his might? Thus, he immediately let go of Caier and forcibly cut of the connection of the Soul Linking Chains. This was to prevent their whole group of seven to be wiped out by this Moon Demons attack power. He was also grateful to Li Xin, because if not for her help by blocking this attack, Long Haochen wouldnt even have had the chance to cut off the Soul Linking Chains connection. And the Moon Demon was after all heavily injured, so although thisst blow caused Li Xin to sustain injuries and cough out blood, it was still not fatal. Bright Discipline was waved, creating a hurricane of dark purple blood. The Moon Demon was still as tenacious, still spitting out some dark purple liquid from his mouth, but his wound rapidly closed. After preventing his blood from flowing, he rushed right at Long Haochen. A massive figure blocked in front of Long Haochen, and with a stuffy sound, Haoyue stumbled three meters back,pletely covered in a dark ck radiance. And on his bodys scales, dark purple traces of corrosion could be seen. Haoyue! Long Haochens eyes were filled with distress. At this time, he didnt even consider the possibility ofing back alive, but exerting hisst bit of strength, Haoyue suddenly threw himself before him, blocking the Moon Demonsst strike. Bang. Chapter 290 - Hero (I)

Chapter 290: Hero (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Moon Demons clenched fists ruthlessly struck at Long Haochens back. Not even having the spiritual energy left to use the Glorious Sets Holy Spirit Protection, he could distinctly feel the Holy Armor deforming under the Moon Demons punch. Luckily, it was a piece of Glorious Tier equipment, which was why it wasnt smashed to pieces. But in his current weak state, how could Long Haochen bear such a terrible strike? The other members of the 21st and 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squads held their breath, not even daring to close their eyes. At the time Caier was sent flying by Long Haochen, she was at aplete loss. Although, because of having lost four of her senses, she could only sense the surrounding world through her perception and touch, she was only at aplete loss for a split second, before bing extremely tense. She understood Long Haochen only too well. The only circumstances that would cause Long Haochen to part from her would be a situation where he would be unable to protect her. And furthermore, the fact that Long Haochen cut off the Soul Linking Chains connection, only confirmed that Caiers guess was correct. Tears suddenly streamed from her eyes, as she desperately threw herself to the ground. However, at this time, a pair of vigorous arms hugged her. It was Wang Yuanyuan. Although she was well aware that Caier couldnt hear sounds, Wang Yuanyuan still shouted, choked with emotions, Dont let his sacrifice be in vain. They already couldnt make it in time to rescue Long Haochen, and it was out of trust that he entrusted Caier to her. How could she allow Caier to let his sacrifice be in vain? Right then, as everyone believed that Long Haochen was doomed, an iparably resplendent radiance shot out from Long Haochens chest. It lit up and a matchless aura of terror spread from it. The seriously wounded Moon Demon was instantly sent flying by this sudden massive golden glow, and directly flew back for several meters. A Divine Tool! The Moon Demon roared in midair, his ck wings suddenly shooting up, he frantically tried to escape without reservation. All of this happened too fast: Since the time Long Haochens Asura Strike wounded the Moon Demon to now, only a few seconds had passed. And at the time the Moon Demon shot up, the members of the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad suddenly dashed forward. Long Haochen was already breathing with difficulty, throwing himself down to Haoyue. In the instant before he lost consciousness, an imposing voice could be heard, Who dared harm the sessor of the Slumbering Cmity? The red-hot feeling in his chest was now at least ten times more powerful than before, and the souls of the dead converged in the Eternal Melody at an astonishing speed. In the past, Long Haochen had sensed that it was because of his bodys limits that he could only absorb the souls of the dead in a range of two hundred meters. But at this very moment, the Eternal Melody was entirely aroused, due to Long Haochen being wounded. Further ounting his breakthrough to the sixth step, the Eternal Melody started to operate faster, gently absorbing the surrounding souls, while making the support of Long Haochen the soul energys highest priority. The pendant enabled Long Haochen to immediately absorb the light energy around him to provide energy to his devitalized body. Luc Xi madlyunched one healing spell after another at Long Haochen, and the others joined him at the greatest speed possible, rapidly surrounding Long Haochen. Caier had already struggled free of Wang Yuanyuans restraint, and, driven by the urge of her feelings towards Long Haochen, was the first to join his side. Caiers body was entirely stiff, and she seemed to havee to a realization, before rapidly gripping Long Haochens right hand. After taking his hand, her paleplexion gradually eased up a little. She was the only one who felt the massive soul energy that converged into Long Haochens body, while sensing the returning vitality that emerged from it. Along with the disruption of this soul power, Caier noticed to her astonishment that the Dagger of Samsara started to get restless. After the two Demon Hunt Squads surrounded Long Haochen, they didnt get attacked by the demons anymore. Long Haochen had managed to sessfully suppress, and heavily wound a Moon Demon of the eighth step, and had thus created a favorable situation for their offense. At the same time, the reinforcements from the Southern Mountains City hadunched their powerful counterattack, driving the demons out of the Southern Mountains City. Suddenly, from the sky, drops of golden radiance descended one after another, appearing as if filled with intelligence. As this rain of light touched the bodies of every living creature, be it humans or demons, a mystic change appeared. Still there was a clear difference: Every human received afortable feeling from the touch of those drops of light. They all had iparable snug reactions, while the tiredness of their bodies disappeared and their wounds slowly healed. But for the demons, every touch caused a real disaster. The rain of light caused them to shriek miserably and from every area of contact, ck vapor rose. This rain of light enveloped almost half of the Southern Mountains City, and everyone with the leastmon sense could tell that this was a holy-type forbidden spell. It was called the Goddess of Lights Longing. This forbidden spell was only usable by priests of the ninth step; but even at the ninth step of cultivation, it would be impossible for any knight to use such a terrible group-healing spell. Upon reaching the ninth step, a priest would be addressed as Saint. For a human Saint to intervene from the sky, the aerial situation at least needed to have stabilized. An ear-shrieking sound followed the appearance of the golden rain, falling from the sky. Soon, the the radianceing from the twelve colored Demon God Pirs dimmed greatly, and the distantndscape slowly became blurry. The current situation was distinct, because the demon side finally started to retreat. Although none of the twelve demon gods died during the battle, the difference in power between both sides was extremely small. Nevertheless, if not for the prompt arrival of the reinforcements, the Southern Mountains City would most likely have already fallen. Long Haochen was still not conscious, but he vaguely felt a burning sensation on his chest. However, this burning sensation didnt hurt anymore, but was instead veryfortable. The reason why he couldnt really wake up was, that he was simply too tired. But still, he felt very rxed in the knowledge that he did act in ordance with his own will, saving at least hundreds of warriors and mages of the Alliance. He didnt disappoint his fathers expectations, and wholeheartedly fulfilled his role as a knight. The members of the 21st and the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squads were forming a defensive ring around Long Haochen. Extraordinarily, none of them uttered a single word, and except from Caier at his side and Luc Xi, who was performing healing magic on him without pause, the others all had looks filled with determination. Without the slightest doubt, if someone had tried to attack Long Haochen at this moment, he would have had to trample over their dead bodies first. Long Haochens actions enmed hisrades hearts; none of them feared death, and all shared the same determination as Long Haochen. In the same situation, what should a recently created Demon Hunt Squad, only being at the fifth step of cultivation, do when facing a Moon Demon at the eighth step? Even if this question was asked to the leaders of the Alliance, they would surely tell this Demon Hunt Squad to stay as far away as possible to preserve their lives. But did Long Haochen do this? No, he didnt. To ensure the survival of more people, he didnt make this choice of self-preservation, even though he was unaware of all the consequences of his choice. It could be said that if not for the eerie light that protected him during thest instant, he would already have died on the battlefield. They didnt hear the words divine tool from the Moon Demon, and didnt know what this bright light was, but Long Haochens miraculous survival caused them to feel ashamed, especially the members from the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad. At the time they saw the Moon Demon, the six members of the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad were hesitant. At the time they saw Long Haochen make his unhesitant decision, apart from Li Xin, everyone was inplete shock, and didnt dare to attempt anything. This was also the reason why Li Xin was the only one who could react, taking the attack in Haochens stead, whereas the others all werete. How could they not be ashamed? They also had a set of Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, but didnt take them out of attachment to their own lives, and out of the terror they felt towards the Moon Demon of the eighth step. Although Long Haochenter shouted the order not to take them, couldnt they have been of help to him if they took them before the situation escted like this? The reason why Luc Xi was now healing Haochen at all costs, not having any hesitation to over consume his own resources, was to vent all his shameful feelings. He felt extremely unworthy of Long Haochen: if he let him die, as the captain of the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad, he would never be able to forgive himself. The battle continued, but those two Demon Hunt Squads always stayed in their defensive formation, everyone remainingpletely silent. Caier was sitting on the ground, with Long Haochens head on herp to let him feel morefortable and to stabilize his neck. She already stopped crying, but was still trembling without interruption, feeling extremely regretful. At this very moment, she even thought that she would rather not remain a Demon Hunt Squad member, as long as she could be together with Long Haochen. The multitudes of radiances that lit the sky gradually dimmed down, and the demon offense was finally pushed away from the Southern Mountains City. The powerhouses of the Temple Alliance returned from the sky one after another, and the survivors were sent to finally clear up the mess below. After some time passed, some people came to the side of the 21st and the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squads. Full of astonishment, the first toe were the 2nd and 3rd soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads. More urately, they should have be the 1st and 2nd soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads after Long Haochens and Luc Xis group progressed in grade. But these two teams nned on advancing in grade the fastest possible, and thus didnt head to the Demon Hunt Mission Tower to modify their identification number. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, as well as the members of their two Demon Hunt Squads were totally blood-soaked. While the mages were a bit better off, all the close-quarter fighters were wounded. However, they had sincere and respectful expressions, peacefully arriving at the side of the 21st and the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squads, after seeing them being gathered calmly around Long Haochen. Only Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi advanced further, murmuring a few words to Luc Xis ears, before appearing relieved after getting the confirmation of the safety of Long Haochens life. Chapter 291 - Hero (II)

Chapter 291: Hero (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales After arriving on the battlefield, the four Demon Hunt Squads had been separated by a short distance, and everyone could see the scene of Long Haochen defying the Moon Demon. Deep inside, Yang Wenzhao had always been keeping the same pride as the one Han Yu had before losing to Haochen. The only difference was that he appeared steadier than the Han Yu of that time, and concealed it a lot better than him. However, he now finally found out how cheap his pride was. When he saw the Moon Demon of the eighth step, all he thought about was to save his team from damage, whereas Long Haochen faced him head on. Yang Wenzhao had already been admiring Long Haochens strength, but only now did he understand that it wasnt only in strength that he was losing against Long Haochen. After the two soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads, the next ones to follow were those from the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad. They were in the same situation as the two soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads, simply standing agape at Haochens side. Afterwards, ordinary soldiers from the Six Great Temples returned, but they rapidly joined up with those five Demon Hunt Squads. Soon, more than a thousand people were already encircling Long Haochen and Caier. On the battlefield, seeing someone save arade-in-arms was a frequent urrence. Camaraderie between soldiers and brother-in-arms would frequently appear, due to the special rtionship created between the savior and the saved person. But how about someone saving dozens, hundreds, or even thousands ofrades-in-arms on the battlefield? Right after Long Haochen led the 21st and the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squads to join the battlefield, they immediately became the target of theirrades attention. Facing the enemy with courage and resolve, sessively killing demon powerhouses of the sixth and the seventh step, and rushing into the enemys ranks first, they became the vanguard of the counterattack. Perhaps, ordinary soldiers couldnt understand what kind of power they were, but the high-ranking military officers from the Southern Mountains City could naturally tell out that those were Demon Hunters. And ording to their age as well as their cultivation, they should be soldier grade or general grade Demon Hunt Squads. But what they did was far out of a lower grade Demon Hunt Squads field of action. If it was a powerhouse of the eighth or the ninth step, or even a powerhouse of the seventh step that faced the Moon Demon, this wouldnt have caused such amotion. That powerhouses had to face enemy powerhouses was one of the unwritten rules on the battlefield. However, Long Haochens outrageous act was to face a Moon Demon of the eighth step, when the strength he seemingly had was only at the sixth step. And what the spectators didnt know was that he had actually just broken through the bottleneck of this sixth step. Sixth step versus eighth step, what sort of concept was that? The soldiers didnt understand why a Moon Demon of the eighth step would appear on the battlefield on the ground, but they clearly knew that hundreds of theirrades died at the hands of this Moon Demon of the eighth step. Before even speaking of a counterattack, when he appeared, hundreds and thousands of fighters had been about to be wiped out at the hands of this enemy. This was the eighth step; and one may well imagine what kind of strength this represented. But Long Haochen still chose to face him, disregarding everything to face the Moon Demon of the eighth step. The soldiers that battled with courage and determination didnt feel any of the Moon Demons attacks reaching them. But when they returned, the Moon Demon wasnt there anymore, and the young knight that resisted the Moon Demons assault was lying unconscious on the ground, bedded on hisradesp. An officer from the Southern Mountains City dered with red eyes, Hes a hero! Pay respects to our hero! Saying this, he used his leftover arm to take off his helmet, and walked in Long Haochens direction, paying respect with a knight salute. All the soldiers that managed to came back alive, including even the disabled, followed this officers lead and each of them paid respect with an extremely solemn salute towards Long Haochen. This scene was extremely shocking: there were not only soldiers that payed their respects, but also the various Demon Hunt Squads, including even several of themander grade Demon Hunt Squads that rushed back. Though, those had ashamed expressions, because members of Demon Hunt Squads at themander grade like theirs were at least at the sixth step. But against a Moon Demon of the eighth step, they made the same choice as Yang Wenzhao, which was to put the priority on protecting themselves. A short timeter, a golden silhouette abruptly appeared out of nowhere, with a very loud bang. He was d in an elegantly decorated dark golden armor, and at the time he reached the ground, everyone immediately bowed down to his dignified silhouette. Get out of the way, all of you! The golden d knight shouted loudly, suddenly taking off his helmet, and revealing his face. It was precisely the Saint Knight Chief Han Qian. Maybe some external soldiers could not recognize Han Qian, but how could thoseing from the Demon Hunt Squads not recognize this Saint Knight Chief? Making haste to step aside one after another, they let a passage be formed for him to go through. Han Qian hastingly stepped forward, arriving before Long Haochen. Seeing this young knight unconscious, he immediately had a serious look. Instantly turning around, he pped Han Yus face hard, causing him to stumble back from the shock. How are you protecting your master as a retainer knight? Why arent you the one falling unconscious? Han Qian shouted these words full of anger, before hurriedly inspecting Long Haochens condition. Because she felt the intense holy aura of lighting from him, Caier didnt stop him. Han Yu recovered from the tumble caused by his grandfathers p, but didnt refute him in any way. Though blood still flowed down the corners of his mouth, he got up with difficulty, and stood at his previous position. A short momentter, the expression on Han Qians face eased up, before bing very grotesque. Springing up again, Han Qians voice was transmitted afar, I am the Knight Chief of the Knight Alliance, Han Qian. Each of you, officers and soldiers alike, should now return to rest and reorganize in your own barracks, instead of staying there. The life of this young knight isnt in danger, and I can pledge this to you on the honor of the Knight Alliance. He will definitely recover. The officer that seemed to be the highest ranked among everyone present stepped forward. It was the same man who had shouted to the other soldiers before. He stepped up and kneeled down in front of Han Qian, talking in a loud voice as well, Respected Senior Saint Knight Chief, we request to be told the name of the hero. Han Qian suddenly pursed his lips. Seeing that the eyes of everyone in his surroundings were turning red, he suddenly shouted even louder in response, Stand up! No one here deserves others kneeling down before him. This knight isnt the only hero here. Dont tell me it isnt the same for every soldier and officer that gave everything in this Southern Mountains City? You are all equally heroes! At these words, all the soldiers and officers were silent for a moment, before they suddenly broke out in cheers of joy one after another. Thats right, they had finally won this battle. No matter how miserable this victory was, they had at longst repelled the enemy, and all of them were heroes, heroes that protected humanity. The cheers didntst long, and soon, just as if it had been nned ahead, the cheers gradually subsided, before all the looks gathered by chance on Han Qian. Understanding their thoughts, Han Qian nodded, The one all of you call hero is called Long Haochen, captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hun Squad. Remember his name! As the auxiliary chief of the Temple Alliance, this is the kind of knight I respect. Long Haochen! Long Haochen! Long Haochen! The cheers started once again, but this time, only one name resonated all around. To the Southern Mountains City, the previous course of events couldnt even be called a battle, but rather a total cmity. As the southern strategic gateway of the Alliance, the defensive strength of the Southern Mountains City didnt fall shortpared to the Exorcist City. Only this time, the demon force had been especially formidable, and a huge part of the Southern Mountains Citys power was lost during the siege. At this moment, although the enemy retreated, cleaning the battlefields leftovers was still extremely challenging. Many private houses had to be used as infirmary for wounded people to receive treatment. Commoners gradually joined the cleaning of the aftermath, their first mission being to get rid of the demon carcasses with fire. After three entire days, the Southern Mountains City waspletely swept clean, and all traces of the battle entirely burnt. By chance, the demons didnte back tounch other attacks over these three days. After sustaining such serious damage while besieging the city, their losses were even heavier than the Southern Mountains City. Over these three days, Long Haochen, acimed as hero, received the best treatment from the Southern Mountains City. In fact, an important detail was that this city was the location of the Priest Temples headquarters. Over the course of this war, perhaps the city wascking in numbers of powerhouses, but they were in no shortage of high ranked priests. The Saint who used a forbidden spell during thest moments of the battle even treated Long Haochen personally, meanwhile raising his cultivation by a wide margin. After staying in aa for two days and two nights, Long Haochen finally woke up, finding himself in a room inside the headquarters of the Priest Temple. As the headquarters of the Priest Temple, this had been the first target of the demon forces. By chance, it had had sufficient defenses, barely managing to avoid a catastrophic destruction. But the side of the Office Pce wasnt as fortunate, and had already be a huge cluster of broken walls. Sitting on his bed cross-legged, Long Haochen calmly started cultivating. Caier wasnt far from him, but currently she looked totally indifferent. Instead of being on the bed, she was sitting cross legged on a nearby chair. With his serious overconsumption and the severe wounds he sustained, Long Haochen could easily be called one of the most severely wounded surviving knights this time. However, with his constitution as the Scion of Light, he was also the one who gained the most benefits from this battle. First of all, the overwhelming pressure from facing the Moon Demon of the eighth step caused him to break through to the sixth step, bing the youngest Radiant Knight of the Knight Temples entire history, at the age of fifteen. Along with the formation of his spiritual cavities, the Saint Spiritual Stove evolved once again. And after this battle, Haoyue went back to a deep sleep, before returning at some time to his own world without consultation. This seemed to be a good opportunity for his next evolution. Not only that, but because of Long Haochens performance on the battlefield, enabling him to gain ample recognition from the Priest Temple, the Saint of the ninth step not only healed his external injuries, but also helped to improve his spiritual energys operating system, giving him some good from this setback. His external spiritual energy increased by at least two hundred over these two days, and his internal spiritual energy also increased by more than a hundred units. Chapter 292 - Hero (III)

Chapter 292: Hero (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen had finally be an official Radiant Knight, bringing a qualitative leap to his strength. Of course, he also had to pay a huge price for this: a set of Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills as well as other pills, and Long Haochens entire equipment aside from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, had to be restored. His Glorious Tier Holy Armor, and Holy Shield were both seriously damaged, and because of the excessively frantic state of the spiritual energy poured into it, which Long Haochen couldnt control effectively, Bright Discipline was heavily damaged from thest strike against the Moon Demon of the eighth step. By chance, those three pieces of Glorious Tier Equipment were handled and restored by the Southern Mountains City, otherwise it would have required a great deal of money. After cultivating for a day and a night, Long Haochen could sense light element flowing into him like tides A big smile appeared on Long Haochens face. The spiritual cavities were actually a sort of window connecting the external light element to him. His spiritual energy was still in liquid form, but after obtaining the spiritual cavities, the speed of recovery of his spiritual energy as well as his cultivation speed both increased tremendously. And because of the influence of the spiritual cavities on his liquid spiritual energy,pressing it one step further, his consumption when using various abilities was also lowered. More importantly, after advancing to the sixth step, Long Haochen obtained the ability to condense his spiritual energy, giving him the possibility of soaring in the sky. But it was not only him, the entire 21th general grade Demon Hunt Squad also obtained great rewards. The Southern Mountains City directly handed 50,000 contribution points to their team. Although the other Demon Hunt Squads were also aptly rewarded, it was a lot less than them. Although the urgent War Mission was pretty forced, in the sense that participation was not optional, as long as they performed well, the Demon Hunt Squads would be rewarded a lot better than for other missions. At the very least, as long as the few participating soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads made it back alive, the reward would enable them to advance without problem. The spiritual cavities appeared in the shape of a golden aperture within ones chest. The cavities were pretty small, their diameter was no more than an inch long, and they would cause a change on the movement of the spiritual energy in the owners body. At every cirction, it would absorb a great amount of external light element. Of course, the Saint Spiritual Stove didnt disappear. Just like the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, it remained inside of this aperture, and visibly shrank to fit in. What caused Long Haochen to feel astonished was that the spiritual cavities seemed to be located right behind the location of the Eternal Melody on his chest. Ever since the spiritual cavities formed, they seemed to have forged a connection with the Eternal Melody. If he took off his shirt while cultivating, he would notice that every time the spiritual cavities absorbed the external light essence, the Eternal Melody would give off a faint radiance. Slowly opening both of his eyes, he revealed a tranquil expression. Although his body was worn out, aftering back from cultivation, he felt some aching sensation in his entire body, apanied by a little headache. This wasnt a remain from his injuries, but the repercussions of the use of a strength far exceeding his bodys capability during the battle. To resist the Moon Demon, he took a total of four different kind of pills, plus his fusion with Haoyue and hisrades spiritual energy, making him reach the peak of the seventh step, attaining the realm of ultra-spiritual energy of the seventh step. At that time, his total amount of spiritual energy was close to 24,000. But this wasnt a burden he could withstand so easily. The reason for which he didnt let the members of the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad take the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills was, that he was certain that no one in their team could bear the terrifying pressure. For them, bearing such an amount of spiritual energy would undoubtedly cause death from overload. After taking the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, the situation waspletely different from what Lin Xin said at that time: the spiritual energy gathered was impossible to control. If not for the blood contract linking Haoyue, whose external spiritual energy wasnt half-assed, to him, a mere Great Energy Pill couldnt possibly have been enough to bear the burden from this terrifying amount of spiritual energy. Even when thinking back to this experience now, Long Haochen still had some lingering fears. Nheless, even if he had to make this choice over again, he would still choose the same thing and not cower. He didnt have any regrets about it. After regaining some spiritual energy, Long Haochens mood brightened again. No matter what he may say, this was a very valuable experience. Experiencing the real strength of an opponent over the seventh step wasnt something a low ranked powerhouse could normally do. This let him increase his knowledge pertaining to this boundary, enabling him to take an easier path during his future cultivation. At the same time, it also enabled him to make some progress in the field of using abilities. The feeling of having his bodypletely filled with spiritual energy was infinitely satisfying. It was especially the case during hisst attack, an Asura Strike that even tore the sky and ripped the space apart. Even with his strength at the eighth step, the Moon Demon had been unable to resist against this attack, which filled Haochen with total satisfaction. _I really hope to reach the seventh step as early as I can. Father said that when I reach the seventh step of cultivation, I will be allowed to look for Mother and him!_ Thinking about this, Long Haochen felt passionate. As a Radiant Knight at fifteen years-old, even if he was even more modest, he couldnt possibly not feel pride. This was already not only about strength, but progressing at such a speed would also require willpower and luck. Looking at Caier, still focused on cultivating, Long Haochen felt started. For all the time they traveled together, whenever they stayed in the same room to cultivate, the two of them would always be seated together on the bed. But how could it be that Caier was seated on the chair at such a time? Could she be feeling ufortable? As Long Haochen was puzzled about these questions, Caiers body trembled slightly, and her crossed legs eased up. She ended her cultivation, visibly sensing that Long Haochen had already woken up. Long Haochen immediately hurried forward, nning on holding Caiers hand to ask her what happened after he fell unconscious, but to his surprise, Caier suddenly shook off his hand, refusing to let him write on her hand. _What happened with Caier?_ Long Haochen was startled, hurriedly attempting to take her hand once again, with the same result as before; Caier immediately shook his hand off. This time, she stood up without consultation, walking to the side of the room, her back turned at Long Haochen. Clearly, her body emitted some coldness. Long Haochen was totally nk. Was Caier angry? This was the only possible exnation for her to be unwilling to let him touch her. But why would she be angry? Rapidly thinking about what happened, Long Haochen immediately understood the reason why Caier was angry. Instantly, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he walked over to Caier with a smile. Caier still tried to escape, but having lost four of her six senses, and being in such a narrow room, in the end she was still hugged by Long Haochen from behind. During this time of struggle, Caiers butt ended up rubbing against Long Haochens body. Although he was young, this actually made him even more healthy and vigorous. Even if he would have been even more clueless, his body would still show some reaction to this contact. Suddenly sensing Long Haochens body bing somewhat thick, Caier immediately stopped moving. Of course, she feltpletely different from Long Haochen, believing that this was a wound on his body that was getting in contact with her. Immediately, Long Haochen separated himself from her, trying to avoid causing an awkward situation. Caier was after all still younger than him, and quite far from reaching the age of fifteen years. Although Long Haochen started to understand little by little the matters between boys and girls, with the two of them being so young, they wouldnt have this sort of feelings at such a time. Extending his hand slowly towards her back, he started writing a few words. His writing looked clumsy, and the three words that were written were I was wrong. Caiers body trembled suddenly. She turned around and punched Long Haochens shoulders. Although she was blind, mute and deaf, her tears still poured out, speaking of her rage. Long Haochen felt as if his heart was grabbed by an enemy, feeling an unbearable pain. Seeing the silent tears dripping from Caier who already lost four of her senses felt even more painful than the attacks of the Moon Demon. Closely holding her in his arms, Long Haochen was already at a loss about what he should tell her. Right now, his heart was only filled with pain. He could acknowledge his own mistakes, but he couldnt guarantee that he would act better next time. It reality, he couldnt make this promise to Caier. This was because he would make the same choice again without hesitation. But how could he let Caier apany him in death? At that time, when he couldnt take out the Moon Demon in one blow, Long Haochen had sensed that everything was over for him. He didnt have the strength to resist, and the massive spiritual energy brought to him by the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills had been already nearly exhausted. What could he have done in such a situation? He could only stall for time to attempt prolonging his life just a bit longer. This was the reason why he had taken the initiative to cut the connection of the Soul Linking Chains, believing that the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad would protect hisrades. He had been sure that he couldnt escape anymore, because the wrath of that Moon Demon had beenpletely focused on him. Only by dying could he protect hisrades, after all, this Moon Demon was seriously hurt and couldnt possibly stay around for much longer. Caiers struggle gradually turned into spasmodic sobbing, her arms wrapped around Long Haochens waist, tightly holding his maturing back that was bing wider and wider over time. And her embrace was very tight. That day, when Long Haochen had thrown her at Wang Yuanyuan, had caused the fear she had experienced when she was three years-old to arise once again. In that instant, she had felt her heart freeze. _Its over. This idiot, he he is going to die._ This was the only thought that had been upying her mind. This feeling waspletely indescribable with words. Caier only felt that her own heart was about to follow Long Haochen at anytime. Even when she had learned that Long Haochen survived, this pain still remained in her heart. She was truly afraid; afraid to see a simr situation appear in the future, and that he would push her away like that again, and die alone. Chapter 293 - Sole Successor

Chapter 293: Sole Sessor

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales If she didnt have such feelings of attachment, she wouldnt possibly be feeling such pain. No matter how unsatisfied she was about the fact that Long Haochen threw her like that, at the time he held her in his arms, all of her grudges and all of her hatred turned into endless love. As her feelings gained the upper hand, she couldnt hold back her tears anymore. They streamed down her cheeks in a steady flow, as she was alreadypletely unable to struggle free of his embrace. Like this, the two of them remained in each others arms, staying silent for a long time. Long Haochen could feel Caiers current mood, and kept forming the shape of the word sorry on her back. Still Caier didnt gave him the slightest reaction, only continuously crying on his chest. After some time he gently carried her to the bed. But just as he started to lower his head to warm free her of her trembling state with a kiss, there was a sudden hard knock on the door. Captain, are you awake? From outside, Sima Xians voice drifted into the room, and Long Haochen immediately lifted his head in a hurry, writing a few more words on Caiers back. Although unwilling, Caier finally let him go, but contrary to her expectations, he kept holding her in his arms, carrying her along to the entrance. Caiers sad feelings finally weakened after taking it all out. Still slightly trembling, her face was buried at Long Haochens chest; she was unwilling to let anyone else see her crying face. Long Haochen opened the door, immediately seeing that clean bald head. Seeing Long Haochen, Sima Xian immediately rejoiced greatly. His arms were preparing to hug him, but as soon as he saw Caier in his arms, this thought immediately disappeared from his head. In embarrassment, he withdrew his arms. Boss, how are you? Are you alright? Did the pills of that has-drug-bro have any side-effects? They werent idiots, and when Long Haochen had ordered the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad not to take the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, they immediately guessed that some problem arose when the pills were taken. This had been what worried them the most. Long Haochen shook his head to this, giving the reply, I am alright. Its just that my body will still need a few more days to recuperate. My energy channels have bursted from the excessive amount of spiritual energy, but the damage is already being mended. It will get better after a few more days. Long Haochen smiled bitterly, But there is a little problem with the pills. Although it isnt too big a problem, those pills still are not something anyone at the fifth step can use. Tell this to Captain Luc Xiter. If he wants to use the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, he should wait at least until he reaches the sixth step, and then take it along with a Great Energetic Pill. Thinking for a bit, he then continued, muttering irresolutely, The best would be to use it after reaching the seventh step. The Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills are extremely tyrannical, and this makes it very hard to control the spiritual energy provided by others. Sima Xian replied unhappily, I knew something would go wrong with has-drug-bro one day. Heh, lets settle the bill with himter Long Haochen shook his head with a smile on his face, You shouldnt say that. This time, if not for the help of the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, Im afraid that we wouldnt have made it back alive. The Moon Demon had such formidable strength that we couldnt possibly resist him with our current strength. At this point, he couldnt help but remember Yue Ye and his experience in the Moon Pce. This time, they had merely encountered a young Moon Demon, but in the Moon Pce, there had been a lot more powerful powerhouses, including the Moon Demon God. For an ordinary Moon Demon to be so powerful, what level would the second Demon God out of the seventy-two, the Moon Demon God Agares, reach? Thinking of this , Long Haochens expression became a lot more focused. In spite of his current age, reaching such a cultivation level could only be done through hard work. But he wasnt satisfied from this. This was what made him different from others, as he was a person that moved forward no matter what. Sima, did you have some reason to look for me? Long Haochen wasforting Caier right now, and thus didnt really want to keep chatting with Sima Xian. Furthermore, now that the battle was over, he also wanted to have some rest. Sima Xian replied in a sh, Yes, yes. The Saint Knight Chief wanted me to inform you that he wants you to attend a meeting in case you are awake. A meeting? What sort of meeting? Long Haochen gave Sima Xian a puzzled look. Sima Xian shrugged his shoulders in response, I dont know about that either. He wanted you to head to the General Assembly of the Priest Temple. You can directly go there. Oh, right, you have to bring the vice-captain along. Long Haochen nodded his head, replying, Understood. Im going in a bit. Since he was previously cultivating, he was only d in underwear. How could he have looked for some clothes in such a short time? Sima Xian gave Long Haochen a look, before ncing at Caier, revealing a malicious smile, Oh, I understand, I understand! Boss, then Ill be heading back first. After saying this, he ran off in a hurry. Long Haochen, who felt quite helpless, closed the door behind him. He wasnt really afraid of other peoples misinterpretations anyway. After informing Caier of Han Qians call for them to attend a meeting, he put some clothes on, and Caier used this time to sort out her feelings. After she cried for so long, her nose was still red, but her facial expression wasnt affected by this in the slightest. Instead, she looked even more lovely than usual. Caier put on her veil, and Long Haochen carried her, leaving the room. The Priest Temples headquarters was huge, but nheless, finding the General Assembly wasnt hard. They only had to ask people around to find the way. At this time, the atmosphere in the Priest Temples headquarters was very heavy, and people went in and out in endless streams. From their attire, it looked like people from all the six Temples were present. This ce was already not only the headquarters of the Priest Temple anymore, but also became a temporary Office Pce, where every official affair was handled. It would be a wonder if people werent busy and rushed their work under such circumstances. Quickly, Long Haochen found the location of the General Assembly, where two guards stood at its entrance. Seeing Long Haochen approach with Caier in his arms, they immediately barred their way. Who are you? This is the General Assembly. You are not allowed to get any closer while the leaders are attending a meeting inside. Long Haochen replied very politely, My name is Long Haochen. The Saint Knight Chief Han Qian called me to attend this meeting. Long Haochen? Hearing this name, the two guards were simultaneously shaken. Exchanging a quick nce with each other, they clearly disyed expressions of disbelief. The guard on the right cried out, You Are you really Long Haochen? The hero who saved thousands of our fellow soldiers? Long Haochen replied with a smile, I dont deserve being called a hero, but I am Long Haochen. The guard on the right immediately appeared unconvinced, That cant be, this is definitely false. How old is this person? Can he really be the hero who stopped an enemy at the eighth step? Stop pretending! As he said this, the guard stepped forward, immediately grabbing Long Haochens shoulder. The reason why he determined that Long Haochen was lying was simple: Who was this Long Haochen in their heart? He was the leader of the Demon Hunt Squad that led their troops during the attack, and the hero who stopped the attacks of the Moon Demon at the eighth step! To be able to resist against such a powerhouse of the eighth step, even with his teams assistance, he had at the very least to be at the sixth step of cultivation. But this youngster before their eyes, didnt even look twenty. Because of the hurry, Long Haochen wore simple clothes, and resembled a local inhabitant. How could that be the demeanor of a hero? Seeing the aggressive intent of the other party towards him, Long Haochen was unsatisfied. Unconsciously taking a step back, he lifted his left hand to stop the guards right hand. At the same time, he turned his body around and moved Caier to the side, so as to avoid letting her be affected by the opponents attacks. After those two hands came into contact, that guard reacted quickly, attempting to grab Long Haochens wrist. But at this time, a bright light suddenly illuminated Long Haochens left hand. In this sh of bright light, Long Haochens wrist trembled bizarrely, and that guard immediately felt a great shock as if he was electrocuted. Stunned, he retreated in response. During those times of war, even the two temporarily assigned guards were warriors of the fifth step. But Long Haochen handled this guard with a single hand, causing the expressions on their faces to change immediately. To be able to handle a warrior of the fifth step conveniently, could he be the real deal? Without attacking again, the guard that previously inquired Long Haochen cried out, Are you really Long Haochen? If you tell the truth, then you should be the captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Can you let us inspect your insignia? Long Haochen responded grudgingly, Wouldnt it have been for the best if you asked this earlier? and handed over his insignia. This time, the expressions on those two guards changed for real and especially the one who reacted first looked embarassed. Stepping forward, he respectfully, handed the insignia back to Long Haochen, his cheeks appearing very red. Please enter, Captain Long! The two guards stepped aside, inviting Long Haochen and Caier to enter the General Assembly. Long Haochen would naturally not bother about others doing their job with fidelity. In the midst of his stroll into the General Assembly, he unconsciously came to a stop. After passing the entrance of the General Assembly, he immediately saw through a huge screen depicting the sculpture of several hundreds of people. It was a representation of the goddess of light. After passing this screen, what came into view was the conference room of the Priest Temple, which was reallyrge in size. It was simply an enormous hall. From where he stood, the conference room looked like a rectangle, its domed roof over twenty meters in height, and crystallized. Inside was a group offortable-looking sofas, and the furthest ahead appeared a one meter and a half high tform. There, a group of people were talking while sitting around a long table. Clearly, a meeting was in session there. These people numbered at least thirty, and Long Haochen immediately recognized Han Qian, discovering with astonishment that even with his status, Han Qian was only sitting on the side; neither on the main seat, nor on the second one in ranking. On the main seat was a white haired old man, d in a white gown. His vocation couldnt be told just from this, but only by calmly sitting there, he naturally appeared like the center of the whole assembly. Even if he didnt speak, no one would dare ignore his presence; asionally, everyone gave respectful looks in his direction. _Could this person be one of the senior Saints of the Priest Temple?_ Long Haochen secretly came to this believe. Caier and he were still far from the tform. While he was still in deep thought, a sound came from the direction of the tform. Havent you been informed that disrupting this meeting is not allowed? The one to spoke was a priest d in a golden gown. He appeared quite young, at most forty, based on his appearance. Based on his expression, he was absolutely furious. Long Haochen made haste toe out with Caier from behind the screen, and although they were still distant, he still made his salutations from afar, Long Haochen, captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad reports. The Senior Saint Knight Chief called me to attend this conference. Hearing this name, everyone on stage looked in his direction, including even that white-haired elder. Without a doubt, those people were the higher-ups of the Southern Mountains City. Each one of them gave a different look towards Long Haochen, some containing amazement, other admiration, and for most, appreciation. They had all heard of Long Haochens deeds, and now that they were finally seeing him personally, what astonished them the most was his age. The white haired elder nodded to Long Haochen with a smile, his gentle look giving off a refreshing feeling. It was filled with pure warmth and gentleness, that even caused the pain in Long Haochens body to suddenly ease up. Han Qian smiled before waving Long Haochen and Caier over, telling them, Join us now! Yes. Long Haochen gave a response before hurrying to their side, leading Caier along with him. As he crossed the room, his face wore a curious expression. _To participate in such an important meeting Why would grandteacher call us to attend? How could Caier and I be qualified to attend a meeting of such high rank?!_ Without any need to ask, he was certain that this was a discussion rted to the handling of the demons in the Southern Mountains City. Han Qian straightened his posture when Long Haochen and Caier arrived on the tform. He left his ce along with another of Long Haochens and Caiers acquaintances, the Auxiliary Hall Master of the Assassin Temple, Ying Suifeng. The reinforcement army this time had been led by the two of them. Han Qian bowed towards the white d old man, before dering with a smile on his face, Elder Ling, everyone. Let us do the introduction. This person is Long Haochen, the little hero of this times battle. Haochen, how are your wounds? Long Haochen hurried to perform a standard knight salute to everyone, but still held Caiers hand, which made the movement look somewhat strange. Respectfully, he replied, Senior Saint Knight Chief, my wounds are already all right. Han Qian let out a sigh, This boy! Tell me whats good with you!? As a knight, you did well, but considering your role for the whole Alliance, you really acted excessively rudely. Everyone, although Long Haochen is young, he ys an essential role for our Knight Temple. My intend by calling him to this meeting was, to give this junior some experience. Please let me convey to everyone my apologies for the interruption. The middle-aged priest that previously shouted in anger gave a serious reply, Old Han, this seems a bit unconformed to the rules. I know about this younger brothers aplishments, but this meeting is of utter importance. Han Qian looked straight at him, exining with resolution, Brother Ling, Haochen is not only the captain of a general grade Demon Hunt Squad, but hes the only future candidate for the role of our Knight Temples leader. As long as he stays alive, he will surely be the next leader of the Knight Temple. Theres no candidate other than him. These words Han Qian uttered caused everyone without exception to let out a gasp. What kind of concept was that? The sole sessor? But how young was this kid? Chapter 294 - Illusory Paradise (I)

Chapter 294: Illusory Paradise (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In all the Six Great Temples, candidates to the role of leader were nurtured by the Temple in case of necessity. This rare honor would be given to powerhouses with great talent, but in the whole History of the Temple Alliance, someone under the seventh step of cultivation had never been designated for the role of sessor before. And there would never be a single sessor. First of all, the factor of survival of the sessor in battle aside, his attitude had to be tested for a long time. Since this was rted to the future of the Temple Alliance, none of the Temples could make this kind of choice hastily. Learning about such a young candidate was something no one present had ever heard of before. And the same went for this designation of sole candidate. For a moment, some of the people present felt unable to ept this. And at this time, Ying Suifeng also spoke, The girl at Long Haochens side is called Caier and is the sole sessor for the position of our Assassin Temples leader. Because she used a rather taboo ability during theirst mission, she temporarily lost the senses of sight, hearing, basic taste and smell. This is why she couldnt make her salutations to all of you. Please forgive her for this. Han Qians and Ying Suifengs words undoubtedly shook everyone present, and even caused Long Haochen to feel dumbstruck. Altogether, there were no more but six Temples, and yet, two of these great Temples expressed that they had only one sessor at this very moment. And from the look of it, these two were still no more than kids! None of people the other Temples could understand the Knight Temples and the Assassin Temples thinking. Before even speaking of these kids nature, could those two great Temples really make sure that they would survive long enough to be considered being given the opportunity to seed their present leaders? They looked like they were below twenty, and were also Demon Hunt Squad members. Although Demon Hunt Squads were formed of elites, the danger they faced during missions was also massive. The priest that Han Qian called brother Lin replied, Since it is like this, let these two young friends join us. Though, old Han, these news you gave us were really a huge shock! Sole sessors, just what are the two of you up to? Han Qian revealed a smile, puffing out his chest, I want all of you to maintain secrecy about it. Theres nothing up if people of our side learn of this matter, but if demons get to know it, the situation will be extremelyplicated. The white haired elder standing above all the others spoke next, Like Han Qian says, none of you is allowed to talk blindly about this after getting out from there. These two young friends are really promising. Han Qian, Ying Suifeng, your two great Temples really picked up treasures! Facing the white-haired elder, Han Qian bowed with the etiquette of a junior to his senior, giving him a respectful reply, Many thanks to Senior Saint Jizan. The white haired elder nodded with a smile on his face, sweeping another nce past Long Haochen and saying with a sigh, What a shame it is. Han Qian smiled in response. Of course, he knew what the white haired elders words implied. He clearly found it a shame that Long Haochen didnte from his Priest Temple. Visibly, considering Long Haochens talent, if he had emerged from the Priest Temple, he would be bound to turn out as one of the greatest geniuses of their younger generation, and wouldnt be able to escape this position of sole sessor either. However, this was simply impossible, just because of the identity of Long Haochens father. The priest Ling Xiao spoke, Lets keep our meeting going then. Han Qian nodded, telling Long Haochen in a low voice, Haochen, this person is grandfather Ling Xiao. After this meeting ends, youd better thank this grandfather Ling properly. Hes the one who treated a great part of your wounds. After saying this, Han Qian sat back to his former position, concentrating on the meeting. Long Haochen wouldnt have thought that this serious-looking priest would actually be the one who treated him. Although he had lost consciousness for two whole days, all this time, he had been feeling a warm spiritual energy flow into his body, restoring the channels in his body from the damage they sustained. So it actually turned out to be this priest. This golden gowned elder seemed to be also a Saint. But in this case, what level could this white haired elder have reached? It seemed thatpared to him, everyone here was a junior. Ling Xiao dered, Then we should continue discussing the various reports of the situation. We have already entirely swept through the battlefield, but this time, the damage inflicted to the Southern Mountains City was disastrous. As the conste of the city, I am assuming the entire responsibility for that. Mymand was improper, and my actions will have to be reviewed by the Alliance. Han Qian sighed and gave a response to this, Brother Ling, you cannot say that. How could we me this on you? The enemy just came too suddenly. Twelve demon gods, with half of them in the top thirty-six of the rankings, were a battle formation that any of our frontiers wouldnt have been able to resist. This time, we dont know what drove the demons mad like that, but if not for Elder Lingsmand, we wouldnt even have made it there in time. Ling Xiaos look still appeared gloomy, and with a sigh, he continued, Although we dont know for which reasons the demons came, our damage was just too disastrous this time. Out of the two hundred thousand troops our defense originally had, there are only fifty thousand left, with half of them being wounded. The Magic Cannons of the Southern Mountains City have all been destroyed, and more than a third of our headquarters Priest Regiment died inbat. Finally, six of our Cardinals of the eighth step died. Saying this, he couldnt bear it anymore. pping the table hard, his eyes were filled with pain. The white haired elder wrinkled his brows, Ling Xiao, calm down. As the executive responsible of the Priest Temple, stop getting so irascible. Ling Xiao bowed his head before the white haired elder, Yes, grandfather. Hearing the word grandfather, Long Haochen was immediately in great shock. That person was a Saint! As for a Saints grandfather, he should at least be two hundred years old. Evenpared to every member of the legendary Demon Hunt Squad of that time, this was the oldest person Long Haochen had met so far. Furthermore, this elder emitted an aura that wasnt the slightest bit inferiorpared to the six of that time. Proceeding to control his emotion, Ling Xiao continued, During this battle, the Southern Mountains side sustained damages in all respects, that can be said to have gotten out of our grasp. If not for Brother Han and Brother Yings prompt arrival, the only final result that could have emerged was aplete destruction. However, we also caused the enemy troops to suffer massive losses. The demon offense was extremely sudden and happened without any prior warning. Our intelligence in the demon territory unexpectedly didnt get any news at all. And this time, demons didnt only dispatch twelve demon gods, but also an army with close to a million troops, while attacking violently day and night, without pause. Our casualties are uncountable, but although none of those twelve demon gods died, at least eight ended up heavily wounded, and wont be able to go to battle for a certain time. And their casualties in terms of powerhouses of the seventh step and above is three times ours. Ling Xiaos voice finally contained some excitement. Indeed, rtively speaking, the Southern Mountains City couldnt be said to have lost this battle, and although it was almostpletely destroyed, they still caused an enormous destruction to the demonkinds side. Although the demons were extremely numerous, and their territory was three timesrger than that of the Temple Alliance, contrarily to their low ranked demons serving as cannon fodder, they still only had a limited number of powerhouses. As for those formidable innately powerful demons at the top of their ranking, their reproducing ability was also a great problem. Otherwise, how could humankind havested so far? Just like for the Southern Mountains City, this battle caused a great loss to the demon side, though the only pity was that they didnt manage to kill a few Demon Gods. Han Qian dered, Rest at ease, Brother Ling. We are only the first batch of reinforcements that rushed over. After your request for rescue, the Alliance has immediately responded, gathering arge army to assist us. Within ten days, another army of at least five hundred thousand troops will be here, listening and obeying to the Southern Mountains Citys assignments. It was not by a lucky chance that the Temple Alliance could gather so many troops. After all, the Alliances organization was designed with the goal of coping with demons. In terms of topography, themon borders between the Alliance and the demon territory resembled that of the Southern Mountains City. Although it didnt form a natural stronghold like the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the Southern Mountains City had arge and unweingke on its left side. This was their natural fortress, making it so that the demons could only attack the city from the front or the right. Each of the strategic towns located in the Temple Alliance possessed a massive military force, and the Six Great Temples cities were the most important of these strongholds. In addition to this, the Alliance also had their main force gathered in the vicinity of the Holy City. In case a problem arose somewhere, a rescue force would immediately be dispatched. This was also the reason why the Holy City was located in the center of the Temple Alliance. The Temple Alliances territory was far from being as vast as the demon territory, but for this same reason, only ten days were needed to rush out from the Holy City to either of the six strategic towns, and the time could be decreased even further. Thus, the reinforcements could arrive at a fast speed. This time, the Southern Mountains City only narrowly avoided destruction, therefore, they naturally immediately provided them some backing. Ling Xiao nodded, That would be for the best. I have already given the order to dispatch the craftsmen from the periphery of the town. Thus, cksmiths will soon arrive in the Southern Mountains City, restoring the citys defenses as fast as they can, to avoid giving any more opportunity to the enemy. Han Qian asked, Brother Ling, do you know why the demons would suddenlyunch such a fierce attack? Over the past years, this sort of situation had never urred. This waspletely different from their usual behavior. Ling Xiao replied with a bitter smile, We started to understand these reasons after the start of this demon attack. It was once again for the Illusory Paradise. Hearing the words Illusory Paradise, Han Qians face was immediately filled with a look of surprise, So you are saying that the Illusory Paradise is about to reopen? Ling Xiao nodded, Even grandfather only started to sense the elemental fluctuations that came through the Illusory Paradise a few days ago. Before a month passes, the Illusory Paradise will reopen. Chapter 295 - Illusory Paradise (II)

Chapter 295: Illusory Paradise (II)

Han Qian then asked with a suspicious look, How could those demons learn about this matter? The Illusory Paradise is located within our borders, so they shouldnt be able to investigate near it. And even Elder Ling only discovered its opening recently. The white haired elder let out a sigh, It should be the Star Demon Gods act. As the Great Prophet of the demons, his divining ability is unique and unmatched. He surely sensed the changes that started to happen here. Han Qian replied in a sh, That would not be surprising. For such a military offense to have escaped our scouts, it is surely an order that came from the Demon God Emperor. Since things are like this, I will have to immediately return to the Alliance and increase the number of reinforcements. The white haired elder nodded, The Illusory Heaven is extremely important. It will open irregrly once every century. We cannot let demons get away with it. Its a good thing that we still have those old Demon God yers to threaten the Demon God Emperor. If not for this, the Demon God Emperor would very possibly havee personally for the Illusory Paradise. Han Qian wrinkled his brows, The Star Demon Gods irvoyance really gives them an advantage and puts them one step ahead of us. Elder Ling, do you have a suggestion? After pondering deeply, the white haired elder replied, Although the Illusory Paradise provides us with a great chance, it is also an extremely dangerous ce. Demons only want to enter it, and our casualties were already really too serious. If they keep forcing their way, Im afraid that the Southern Mountains City is going to bepletely destroyed. Of course, it will be unthinkable for the demons not to leave a few Demon Gods here at such a time. At this point, the white haired elders gentle bearing suddenly became a lot more imposing, it was as if he was suppressing all the sounds in the whole assembly. Arent demons just trying to take a look at the Illusory Paradise? They have always been thinking that we can resist them only because of its existence. Since things are like that, lets just let them have a good look at it. The Illusory Paradise is certainly good, but how could it be the main reason we are relying on to increase our strength? Hearing the white-haired elders words, Han Qian and Ying Suifeng were immediately greatly rmed, crying out simultaneously, We cant! The white haired elder revealed a smile, Listen to this old man until the end. The Demons also know that if they go all out against us, we can at worse forcefully close the entrance of the Illusory Paradise. At that time, they wont be able to gain anything. And the Southern Mountains City is very hard to attack from outside, though it wouldnt be at all hard to besiege it from our side. Even if they manage to somehow upy it, they would be driven out as soon as the Alliance gathers a huge army. Thus, if we suggest giving the demons a few ces for entering the Illusory Paradise, the odds that they would ept a deal are high. Han Qian hurriedly cut in, But, elder Ling, the Illusory Paradise is extremely important to us. How could we let demons. The white haired elder catingly raised his arms, giving a response, No one understands the Illusory Paradise better than us; it is a ce Ive already entered twice. Inside, danger and extraordinary chances coexist. But if something, the treasures that can be found in the Illusory Paradise are more inclined to be of the light element, and there will never be more than twenty present every century. That said, the Illusory Paradise is of utter importance to us. But even if the representatives theyd send would be even more powerful than we could imagine, I believe that they would not be able to get more than a quarter of all the treasures. If this can avoid hundred of thousands of casualties, this man believes that its worth it. Furthermore, wouldnt it also be possible that wed let them enter the Illusory Paradise for nothing? Their main purpose is just to enter and research it, but in the same fashion, demons have secrets we would also want to learn. With an exchange of equal worth, no one would be at a disadvantage. The old mans eyes flickered, giving off a wise and farsighted impression. Everyone present pondered deeply over his words, but no one saw that they concealed an ounce of feeling ashamed. His suggestion was of course feasible, but it was also based on some selfish motives. If the demons really decided to go all out and disregard everything in a fierce attack against the Southern Mountains Gate, it would not only cause the destruction of this influential mountain pass, but also the destruction of the Priest Temple. Situated inside the Southern Mountains City was the Priest Temple! It could be said that eight tenths of the whole Priest Temples strength was concentrated there. If the Southern Mountains City was really destroyed, the Priest Temple would be unable to recover from this. As the chief of the Priest Temple and an auxiliary chief of the Alliance, the elder Ling was naturally unwilling to see this happen. Of course, this wasnt only for the Priest Temple, but also on ount of the whole Alliance. With a light sigh, the elder Ling continued, How about letting this old man handle this matter? I will personally exin my acts to the Alliance. Also, none of the benefits gained from the exchange with the demons will be kept by our Priest Temple: it will all be given to the Alliance. Even given how efficient and unscrupulous Han Qian could be, after hearing this suggestion from elder Ling, he understood that the matter was already decided, and that he was unable to object anymore. To block the demons path, the Southern Mountains City and the Priest Temple had paid a far too excessive cost. If the Southern Mountains City was really destroyed, the Alliance would inevitably be in a hugemotion. After muttering to himself irresolutely for a bit, Han Qian nodded with some difficulty, Okay. Since elder Ling is determined, I will support you unconditionally. But please excuse me, I will have to report this to the higher-ups of the Alliance. Elder Ling smiled, This is a matter of fact. Ling Xiao, send emissaries to get in touch with the demons, to request negotiations from them. Yes, Grandfather. Long Haochen kept a detached point of view from beginning to end. With his status, being able to attend such a meeting was already an enormous honor. This was the first time he heard of the Illusory Paradise, but seeing the importance everyone here attached to it, it seemed that it contained some extremely great treasures. At the same time, he took note of elder Lings sincere intent of taking responsibility for his acts. Although his face was at first nce beaming with benevolence, this old Saint had really an absolute authority here. Any of his decisions couldnt possibly be contested by Han Qian and Ying Suifeng who stood for the Alliance. And since he addressed the Demon God yers as old guys, it could only mean that he was from the same generation as those legendary powerhouses. The meeting continued to advance and the rest of their serious discussions pertained the restoration of the Southern Mountains City in the shortest amount of time possible. As it was unclear whether the negotiations would turn out sessful or not, they had to be prepared for both cases. An hourter, Ling Xiao proimed the meeting to be over. Elder Ling was the first to stand up, and Long Haochen and Caier, who were seated in the back, were the first people he looked at. With a warm smile he said, The Illusory Paradise is a great chance that happens only once every century. Since these two youngsters are the future sessors of the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple, this old man will present you with these gifts, hoping that you can get some rewards in the Illusory Paradise. As he said this, without any visible movement from him, two white rays of light flew before Long Haochen and Caier. Long Haochen unconsciously raised his hands, only to see two white beads appear on them. But what caused him to be amazed was that those two beads emitted traces of the spatial attribute and seemed to be filled with a sort of undting milk, though each of these was only thumb-sized. It was a very odd sight. Many thanks, senior. Long Haochen rapidly stood along with Caier, respectfully bowing before elder Ling. Han Qian and Ying Suifeng immediately looked pleasantly surprised. Elder Ling waved his hands, and turned around, whereas in the meanwhile, all the higher-ups from the Southern Mountains City and the reinforcement army had faces full of envy. While the others left in session from the General Assembly, Han Qian waved to Long Haochen, hinting him and Caier to stay. Long Haochen held Caier around the waist, heading towards Han Qian. Han Qian, Ying Suifeng and the auxiliary master of the Priest Temple Ling Xiao stood together, looking at him. Remembering about Han Qians previous words, Long Haochen bowed before Ling Xiao first of all, telling him, Many thanks for your kind treatment, grandfather Ling. Hearing the appetion grandfather Ling, Ling Xiaos severe expression immediately turned into a smile, and with a nod, he replied, What are you thanking me for? Rather than you thanking me for treating your wounds, I should rather be the one to thank you for saving the lives of thousands of my soldiers. But in fact, arent we all just giving our best to fulfill our duties. From the side, Han Qian unhappily said, Old Ling, it seems that the defects of your smelly mouth will never change in all your life. It looks that the softer your heart is, the more terrible your speech bes. Ling Xiao snorted coldly, giving the reply, In any case, I broke through to the ninth step, unlike an impatient someone that is still at the eighth step of cultivation. Without giving Han Qian the time to reply, the nearby Ying Suifeng immediately reacted, Hey, old Ling, stop rubbing salt in ones wounds, youre really giving us no face at all. Ling Xiao finally smiled at him, Heh, I forgot that the underhanded guy you are has also yet to break through. Han Qian remarked to his longtimepanion Ying Suifeng, Hes doing it on purpose. Ying Suifeng didnt fall to this provocation and shrugged his shoulders in reaction, We can do nothing about it, hes at the ninth step and I am no match for him. Lets bear with it. Ling Xiao cursed with a smile, Enough, you unrestrained old guys. Do you want these kids to make fun of you or what? So what if I broke through to the ninth step? My situation is a lot worse off than that of you two. At this point, his slightly smiling face immediately turned into a gloomy face. Han Qian patted his shoulder, After so many years, youre still unable to let this matter go! Just tell me what is good in you. Are you just nning on letting the Ling lineage go extinct? Ling Xiao revealed a grieved smile, Then, what can I do about it? In my heart, do you think I could ept someone else than her? Let alone me, even the two of you are unable to forget her. Han Qian immediately became angered, Since you are unable to let the matter go, why havent you been looking for her? Is it her or this position of chief of the Priest Temple to whom you are unwilling to let go? Ling Xiao shook his head, I dont have the face to look for her! In this world, the first person I hate the most is Ye Weiyangҹδ, and the second one is myself. Im not even trying to obtain her forgiveness. In my life, myst dream would be to take that bastard of Ye Weiyang down with myself. Long Haochen stood there, baffled at the unfolding scene. He clearly felt that this touched upon the grieved past of this senior. As for that name of Ye Weiyang that came out from Ling Xiaos mouth, it was the first time he had heard it. Han Qian and Ying Suifeng wrinkled their brows, but actually didnt keep pursuing the matter any further. Ling Xiao dered, All right, lets get this over with and get into serious things. Old Han, what do you think of what my old father gave these two? This is an opportunity that could only appear once a century! Chapter 296 - Illusory Paradise (III)

Chapter 296: Illusory Paradise (III)

Han Qian hesitantly replied, Its certainly a great chance, but this kid really leaves me restless. Since he dared to go against a Moon Demon at the eighth step, and considering some demons areing along this time, Im a bit worried. Ling Xiao responded with some surprise, It looks like what you said is true, then these two kids are really the future sessors of your two Temples! But thats no wonder, seeing that this kid Haochen broke through to the sixth step before even being twenty years old. And he has the spirit of a knight, truly a rare genius! Han Qian asked with a concerned look, Old Ling, you guys from the Priest Temple have the best understanding of the Illusory Paradise. Just tell me one thing in detail. How dangerous is it in the end? Ling Xiao smiled in response, Then, tell me the truth as well: why would those two children be the sole sessors of your Temples? Talent is one thing, but designating sole sessors is too dangerous from your two Temples. There has to be some other reason. If they are to mature sessfully, even at the fastest possible rate, it will still take at least a dozen years. And Demon Hunt Squads missions are in no way devoid of dangers. Han Qian and Ying Suifeng looked at each other face to face, and Ying Suifeng finally spoke, Okay then. Since we are all old brothers that risked our lives side by side, and you are in addition the auxiliary chief of the Priest Temple, there should be no harm in telling you the truth. Han Qian waved his hand, wrapping the five of them in a Holy Mantle before telling Long Haochen, Tell him how old you are this year. Long Haochen replied, This junior is fifteen since this year. Caier is going to be fifteen soon as well. Even though Ling Xiao was one of the few Saints of his generation, he still couldnt help but open his mouth wide, Fifteen years old? You broke through to the sixth step merely at the age of fifteen? Heavens! If you didnt make use of any secret methods, how high is your innate level of internal spiritual energy? The Six Great Temples had some secret methods for those excessively eager to advance, but those would make theirter cultivation a lot harder. Han Qian replied, So you asked the essential question. Haochens innate level of internal spiritual energy is 97, and Caiers is 100. Scion of Light and Saint Daughter of Samsara, ever heard of those terms before? Bang.?Ling Xiao hit his fist against his forehead, immediately waving his hand at Han Qian and Ying Suifeng, Let me think for a bit, I feel a bit confused. So this Scion of Lights innate level of internal spiritual energy is 97? And could it be that this Saint Daughter of Samsara sessfully inherited the previous Scion of Samsaras legacy? Han Qian and Ying Suifeng nodded simultaneously. Ling Xiao rapidly came back to his senses, staring at Long Haochen before giving a look to Caier. His eyes resembled those of the big bad wolf watching somembs. Especially when he looked at Long Haochen, his eyes seemed to be filled with envy. Old Han Ling Xiaos sentence was immediately interrupted by Han Qian, Dont say it, so as to avoid damaging our rtionship. You know it cannot be done. Ling Xiao furiously replied, I havent said anything yet! So how could you know? Han Qian let out a snort, Let alone you, even if Elder Ling were to ask that, I couldnt possibly ept. No one from the Knight Temple could possibly ept it. I told you everything you wanted to know, so lets quickly get to the subject of the Illusory Paradise. You should know about the importance of the Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara to the Alliance. When they grow up, they will one day be the ones who will permit us to start a real counterattack against demonkind. Ling Xiao touched his own chest with a hand, taking another deep breath before gradually dissipating the envy in his look directed at Long Haochen. All the severity that was on his face the first time he dealt with Long Haochen immediately disappearedpletely. Afterposing himself, he dered with a smile, Haochen! I heard that you are a Guardian Knight. Do you have some interest in the vocation of healer? Han Qian was really angry, Ling Xiao, if you old guy keep going on like this, Illin to Elder Ling about Ling Xiao swept a nce in his direction, Go then! Lets see whether my old father will pay attention to you. Ill just say this: Haochen, whenever you wish to renounce the path of a knight,e to our Priest Temple. Im now leading it, and can ensure you that the position of auxiliary chief of the Priest Temple will be yours. I can even guarantee you that within ten years after youll break through to the ninth step, I will immediately make you the chief of the Temple. Crowd effect healing of Saints at the ninth step can save hundreds and thousands of people, you know! Whats good about being a knight? Han Qians words werepletely inefficient in making him renounce. This was the Scion of Light! It was a kind of supreme talent that had never appeared before in the whole Alliance. Han Qian suddenly fell silent, watching the show from the side. Long Haochen replied apologetically, Im sorry, elder Ling, I cannot agree to that. I can only be a knight Veins appeared on Ling Xiaos forehead, and he shouted in a loud voice, Fifteen years! I can enable you to break through to the ninth step within a period of fifteen years! Ill tell my old father to use the great technique of Ethereal Irrigation on you, helping you to speed up your spiritual energys cultivation. And Ill provide at least three types of top-notch spiritual stoves for priests. Fifteen yearster, you will just be thirty. And the Priest Temple will help you with all its strength to fight for the position of chief of the Temple Alliance, how about it? Ying Suifeng unhappily cut in, Enough, old Ling! Theres no use. Just ask him who his father is before asking further. In fact, we shouldnt be the ones to tell you. Ling Xiao was startled, eagerly asking Long Haochen, Your father is? Long Haochen replied, My fathers name is Long Xingyu. Ling Xiao was totally shaken, his face bing clearly pale, pping his own forehead with force this time, It looks as if I should know when to let go of something. If she was by my side, maybe our kid would also have this kind of formidable talent. Han Qian snorted coldly, If you look for her with this sort of attitude, I can guarantee that you will die in a very ugly way. Ling Xiao gave a restrained look, returning once again to his serious attitude, Treat it as though I hadnt said anything. All right, lets get back to proper business. I suggest to let these two kids enter the Illusory Paradise. For demons toe and attack us with an army of a million, not sparing anything to break our defenses, its importance is evident. The Illusory Paradise is a miraculous ce, located in a forest sixty kilometers to the north of the Southern Mountains City, in a ce we call Illusory Shrine. Reportedly, the Illusory Shrine is the pce of a goddess in the human world, which has absorbed the essence of Heaven and Earth. The Illusory Shrine will open once every hundred years, and those who can enter it will have great opportunities, but also run into dangers coexisting with them. Arriving at this point, Ling Xiao came to a stop, looking at Long Haochen and Caier, This chance is especially important to young people like you, because the Illusory Paradise produces the most valuable treasures on earth, which are the spiritual stoves. Long Haochen had been holding Caiers hand all along, writing words on Caiers palm. As soon as the subject of spiritual stoves was discussed, Long Haochen and Caier were immediately shocked. It can be said that to raise ones strength beyond the ordinary limits, Spiritual Stoves were of utter importance. A ce that could produce spiritual stoves could simply be called the holynd. Long Haochen couldnt help but ask at the time Ling Xiao paused in his speech, Grandfather Ling, then how many spiritual stoves will be produced in the Illusory Paradise every time? Ling Xiao replied, It differs every time, but their total number never exceeds twenty. Every type will appear only once, and the stronger a spiritual stove is, the harder the corresponding test will be. The major point when you enter is that you cannot be greedy. Otherwise, even if you pass the tests, you will suffer an unavoidable death. Han Qian appeared to be puzzled, What are you speaking about? Why would one die after passing the test? A humble smile appeared on Ling Xiaos face, The reason why my old father consented to let demons enter, was that he had an assurance. We have enough experience to ensure that the demons will fail to achieve their ambitions there. Old Han, let me ask you, if you were to see a dozen spiritual stoves before your eyes, what would you do? Han Qian replied without hesitation, Naturally, I would collect all those that can be collected. Ling Xiao replied, Right. Actually, the spiritual stoves in the Illusory Pce can be collected conveniently as one wishes. You can take as many as you want. The tests will happen only afterwards. And thats to say, if you have collected a huge amount of spiritual stoves, you will be tested ordingly. The difficulty of the tests will be based on the number of spiritual stoves you will have picked, and it increases several folds every time. This doesnt make it only a simple test, but something even more terrible. Avaricious people are bound to suffer a tragic end. Looking at them, he continued. The two items my old father gave you are Illusory Gems, which have been produced in the Illusory Paradise. With those things, in case you run into a danger you are totally unable to contend against, you can chose to immediatelye back. The shrine will be bound to protect our people, thus, I suggest you to have a try inside. Although you probably already possess some spiritual stoves, the ones produced in the Illusory Paradise are of the best quality. And furthermore, some spiritual stoves that arepletely unknown to us will also appear. But the most important point lies in what I said before: in the same way that their tests are terrible, these Spiritual Stoves are the great opportunity that lies in the Illusory Paradise. At this point, he revealed a cold look, As for the people from the demon side, out of ten that enter, having one or two survivors would already be a good luck for them. The negotiations between the Southern Mountains City and the demon side progressed fast, and after a few series of talks, both sides reached an agreement. As for the gains the humans obtained from the demons during those negotiations, they were only known to the higher-ups, but it could definitely not be something negligible. After thest victory of the citys defense, the damage was extremely severe for both sides. As for Long Haochen, he didnt feel concerned about the sort of talks the Temple Alliance and the demon side had. He also didnt need to know about the number of ces allocated to enter the Illusory Shrine. All he knew was that Caier and he had a ce to enter, and that was enough for him. During the next three days, Long Haochen was busy visiting hisrades and their acquainted Demon Hunt Squads. Overwhelmed by the visits of military representatives, he visibly obtained a total acknowledgement from the army. His 50,000 contribution points reward naturally followed. But in Long Haochens heart, something was even more important than this. After learning about the concrete details pertaining to the Illusory Paradise, he immediately made a bold decision. The treasures inside the Illusory Paradise were after all Spiritual Stoves! Who wouldnt wish to possess some? ordingly to his original n, Long Haochen expressed to Han Qian his desire to train in seclusion along with hisrades, until the time the Illusory Shrine would open. Chapter 297 - The Changes on the Tower of Eternity (I)

Chapter 297: The Changes on the Tower of Eternity (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This time, the count of casualties in the Southern Mountains City was over ten thousand, but their manpower was in the end still ample. With the assistance from civilians, the city gradually recovered its splendour. Of the forty Demon Hunt Squads that came, only a small number resided in the Priest Temples headquarters, whereas the others were amodated in other residences. Of course, Long Haochens group resided in the Priest Temple. On the first underground floor of the Priest Temple, Long Haochen gathered hisrades in his room. The Priest Temple really treated them well, not only offering them rooms for resting, but also a small area for cultivating. Boss, why do we have to stay here cultivating?! We came here for the sake of a mission, didnt we? Sima Xian asked doubtfully. On the battlefield, he was the most straightforward to kill his way through the enemy lines. The first appearance of the Energetic Ball of Light had a stronger utility than he had even expected himself. Originally, Sima Xian was left behind by the rest of the team in terms of strength. To say nothing of Long Haochen and Caier, he was still inferiorpared to Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu. But after changing his equipment, in this battle, Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuanbined didnt kill as many demons as him. Everywhere the Energetic Ball of Light had passed, everything had been blown away. Now, he naturally wished to to keep disying his talent on the battlefield. Long Haochen replied, We have a temporary truce with the demons. Additionally, with the end of the battle, our emergency War Mission naturally concluded. However, theres something even more important that well have to handle now. Immediately, he gave everyone the details regarding the Illusory Paradise as well as the negotiations between the Alliance and the demons. Spiritual stoves! So theres actually such a great ce, able to produce a great amount of spiritual stoves?! While Sima Xian asked with a pleasantly surprised face, the others werent unperturbed from the news either. This was about spiritual stoves! For which reason could Long Haochen be the real core of his team, and defeat more powerful opponents? Other than his own strength, he had the help of two great spiritual stoves. And in fact, without Long Haochens and Caiers four spiritual stoves, the strength of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad as a whole would decrease by half. For whichever vocation, it would rather be strange to stay calm after hearing about spiritual stoves. Lin Xin flung his long hair over his shoulder, happily iming, Boss, vice-captain and you should work hard! The best would be toe back with a few spiritual stoves. I wont be picky; as long as one ispatible with fire element, I am satisfied. Chen Yinger disdainfully snorted, So shameless. Do you have no limits? Has-drug-bro, your drugs almost caused Captains death, but you still have the nerve to say that? Lin Xin responded with a snort, I will ept whatever punishment the team decides on for the problems that rue from my pills. But if you give me a fire elemental spiritual stove, my spiritual energy will be bound to grow in purity. When I then make pills, the effects will naturally be even greater. I was saying this out of consideration for the team. Sima Xian replied with a smile, Save your bullshit, who wouldnt be able to contribute even better to the team with a spiritual stove? Nheless, are these things so easy to acquire? Youre just dreaming. We should rather hope for Boss and Vice-captain to get one more spiritual stove for themselves. Seeing hisrades unconcealed thirst, Long Haochen eximed, Its not like you have no chance to obtain spiritual stoves yourselves. What? The eyes of the five of them opened wide, clearly revealing weird expressions. Long Haochen continued, For this visit of the Illusory Paradise, Caier and I have both obtained a secure ce. When Grandfather Ling talked to us about the Illusory Paradise, he said that to enter it, ones spiritual energy couldnt exceed ten thousand. Otherwise, one will get rejected by the Illusory Shrine. This means that the other people who will enter the Illusory Shrine should all be at the sixth step of cultivation, and as close as possible to 10,000 units of spiritual energy. Personally, I believe that they will be picked from different Demon Hunt Squads. Since our team already got two ces, the odds of getting more are low. However, this is a chance that happens only once every century, so I hope that everyone will benefit from it. This is also the reason why I brought you here after requesting from grandteacher that we can stay behind closed-doors to raise everyones strength over this month. During this time, I want to try out whether my n would possibly work. If it works, it may be possible for you to follow Caier and me inside the Illusory Paradise. Before saying this, Long Haochen had released a Holy Mantle, covering all his teammates inside while isting the sound inside, I have a simple n, for this we will use the Tower of Eternity. Because everyone took a Holy Spirit Pill back in Holy City, their cultivation level had been rising at a fast pace since then. But before they got to enter the Tower of Eternity, they were forcibly enlisted for this War Mission. And now that they heard Long Haochen mention the Tower of Eternity once again, everyone immediately had bbergasted expressions on their faces. All of their faces were filled with eagerness. Wang Yuanyuan was the first to speak, Captain, do you mean that at the time vice-captain and you will enter the Illusory Shrine, we should stay inside the Tower of Eternity, and that after entering the Illusory Paradise, we woulde out? Long Haochen nodded, and said, Exactly. This is why we should try out whether this is feasible. Grandfather Ling said that there was no limit to the number of people entering the Illusory Paradise, but only roughly twenty spiritual stoves would be produced, with only one per type. Letting too many people enter would cause a loss of bnce, and would only boost the danger without increasing the odds of getting rewarded. And with the agreement done this time with the demons, both sides will send ten people to the shrine. Thats to say, if I bring you in, we will strive to take away the demons share, while trying our best not to get found out. The main problem that remains now is whether the Illusory Paradise and the Tower of Eternity arepatible. First of all, you will remain inside the Tower of Eternity, and try out whether returning from the Tower will affect you. Next, well have to know whether the Tower of Eternity can be used to transport you inside of the Illusory Paradise. The third point will be whether the Illusory Paradise will reject the Tower of Eternity. We will solve the first problem through practical tests, but even if we settle this issue, well still have no way to predict the next two issues. Thus, I cannot guarantee that you will be able to enter the Illusory Paradise. Sima Xianughed out loud, Boss, having a chance already makes us very satisfied. Even if at that time it doesnt work, well still be okay with it. Anyway, vice-captains and your strength rising means that we will be stronger as a whole. His speech was not just for ttery; in fact, without Long Haochens and Caiers lead, how could their recently formed team possibly get so many contribution points, used for strengthening every single of their members? It appeared like Long Haochen gained a lot since the founding of their team, but how much did the others gain? Sima Xian and Chen Yinger sessfully broke through to the fifth step, and everyone was already at least at the fifth rank of the fifth step of cultivation. This pace of progress was enough to absolutely scare some people. Also, there was still the Demon Hunt Mission Tower. Who said that with enough contribution points, there wouldnt be something even better to buy than the Holy Spirit Pills? The more Long Haochen and Caier would grow in power, the more difficult would the missions they could take be, and this would consequently increase the amount of contribution points they would receive. Thus, Sima Xians words got the approval of everyone present. Long Haochen said, Then, lets hurry to conduct our tests. Even if you cannot apany Caier and me to enter the Illusory Paradise this time, the Tower of Eternity will still enable everyone to raise their strength, and maybe even to reach the sixth step earlier. This way, well advance to themander grade even faster. Make your preparations everyone, we will immediately enter the Tower of Eternity. Wait. Han Yu, who had been silent for some time, suddenly interrupted, Boss, this is the headquarters of the Priest Temple. Wont the deathly auraing from it make us easily detectable? Han Yu may originally have been very haughty, but he still possessed a very goodmon sense. His strength aside, he was also a very meticulous person. Still, his fortune had been to run into Long Haochen back then. His brilliance had always been kept hidden, until he became Long Haochens retainer knight, and started to always act out of consideration for him. This change had helped him correct himself. Long Haochen shook his head, At the time we were in Holy City, I already tested this. Because Elux is a Holy Necromancer, his main attribute is light, therefore, entering the Tower of Eternity will only produce faint light essence. I believe this was done on purpose when the tower was built. Now everyone, gather in a circle around me. After I summon the Tower of Eternity, no one is allowed to act blindly without thinking. You must listen to all my orders. Actually, Long Haochen was really nervous. After all, this was rted to hisrades safety, thus at the time he said thosest words, Long Haochens expression was particrly serious. Han Yu and the other four nodded in session, changing into their equipment before forming a circle around Long Haochen. Long Haochen also put on his own armor, and readied the Holy Radiant Shield in his left hand, while his right hand was slung around Caiers waist. Slowly, he closed his eyes. A mild golden radiance emanated from his chest. It was the brilliance associated with Eternal Melody. Over thest few days, regardless of whether it was during the time Long Haochen was unconscious or after he woke up, the Eternal Melody had always radiated a high temperature. By chance, Long Haochen was already used to it. Regarding this nes powers, he felt increasingly more convinced as time passed. That day, after he had seriously wounded the Moon Demon of the eighth step, he had heard thetter shout the words divine artifact. And in the instant before losing consciousness, he had also felt as if he was covered in a particr kind of spiritual energy, which was precisely what protected him. Clearly, it came from the Tower of Eternity, or perhaps the Eternal Melody. Was one of those really a divine artifact? But, the question remained, was it the Eternal Melody or the Tower of Eternity that turned out to be a divine artifact? Long Haochen felt that it should be thetter, because based on everything he saw in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen had no qualms calling it a divine artifact. Inside, far too many miraculous things were waiting to be discovered. Chapter 298 - The Changes on the Tower of Eternity (II)

Chapter 298: The Changes on the Tower of Eternity (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This life-saving act had appeased the apprehension he had towards the Tower of Eternity. It could be said that, if not for the Tower of Eternity, even if he hadnt died, he wouldnt have escaped the battlefield in one piece. Nheless, as the key to the Tower of Eternity, the Eternal Melody was also a miraculous item. There could only be a single reason for its very high temperature, lying in the fact that t this battle caused far too many deaths. The Eternal Melody was thus constantly absorbing souls. Long Haochen was even more astonished that even though it always kept absorbing souls, and burned at a high temperature at Long Haochens chest, even a powerhouse of the ninth step like Ling Xiao didnt find out about it during the time he healed Long Haochen. This fact was certainly very strange. The radiance spreading from Eternal Rest increased in brightness, and under Long Haochens control, a golden halo appeared under him. This golden halo rapidly splitted, spreading under Caier, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Lin Xin, and Chen Yinger. With the seven golden halos glittering in a dazzling color, eerie golden inscriptions rapidly appeared on each of them. A gaudy white light started to spread from Long Haochens chest right in that instant, causing all of them to shut their eyes because of the dazzle. Nevertheless, none of them missed to see the snowke-shaped magical array floating above their heads. Right afterwards, all light suddenly vanished from the middle of the formation, causing the seven of them to disappear without leaving a single trace behind. No one in the Priest Temple noticed that the entire 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad disappeared from the Southern Mountains City just like that. Including Long Haochen, every one of them felt a strange sensation, as if something was stronglypressing their bodies, causing them to be unable to move. All of the surrounding was covered in a twisted white color, causing them to be unable to open the eyes. Among the seven of them, the one having the most profound experience wasnt Long Haochen, but Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan was originally a rarely seen space attribute user, to whom this experience of traveling through space helped her gain a deeperprehension about her attribute. In fact, this kind of transportation wasnt something that could be experienced by anyone. Generally, space attribute mages would need to reach at least the eighth step and also use extremelyplicated incantations to achieve this. And even then, this method of transportation had only a limited range. Since Wang Yuanyuan was not the instigator of this magic but relied on the connection between the Eternal Melody and the Tower of Eternity, she could wholeheartedly admire this spatial shuttling as a mere spectator. If someone had paid attention, they would have noticed a faint silver radiance being released from her, slightly twisting the space. The whole process of transportation didntst long, and the radiance around them vanished in a mere dozen minutes. Everyone suddenly felt somewhat heavy, feeling the ground under their feet right after the gaudy white light disappeared. Unconsciously opening their eyes, everyone aside from Long Haochen instantly felt an indescribable terror fill them. The terrifying aura of death was present all around, producing an inexhaustible fearing from the bottom of everyones hearts. This deathly aura inspiring despair caused their whole bodies to be drenched in sweat. As a reaction, they drew their weapons as their bodies tightened up. Right at this time, a mild bright light spread from Long Haochens body.This was a simple technique: Holy Mantle. Carrying Ripples of Light, the Holy Mantle enveloped the seven of them without difficulty, isting them from the outside deathly aura. When the deathly aura attacked the Holy Mantle, the Eternal Melody on Long Haochens chest was immediately stirred. It emanated an imposing aura that immediately caused the deathly aura to weaken. At least, it didnt dareunch another attack against Long Haochens Holy Mantle. In the memories the Slumbering Cmity Elux left for Long Haochen, the particr method for him to bringrades here was described. He simply had to use an area ability to envelop hisrades in it, and any ability of this type was okay. This was because as such long as an ability opposed the deathly energys attack, it would naturally activate the Eternal Melody. They had arrived inside of a cave, simr to the depths of the Deste Hissing Cavern. But everyone understood well that this could not be that same Deste Hissing Cavern, and that this ce was probably not even on the same continent. In the air, countless specters slowly hovered. After sensing their presence, these specters had immediately thrown themselves at them, full of thirst, but because of the imposing reaction of the Eternal Melody, the specters immediately spread in all directions, filled with abject fear. Scattering afar, they temporarily didnt even dare get close to the Tower of Eternity. The others, who were all seeing the Tower of Eternity for the very first time, had amon reaction: they were all gasping in astonishment. This was especially the case after they had seen the specters. This encounter had immediately deepened the fear in their heart. However, they were all geniuses from the youngest elite generation of the Temple Alliance, and had in particr Long Haochens protection. Thus, they quickly steadied themselves from these feelings. In truth, they werent the only ones to be astonished. Long Haochen was also extremely shocked, because there was an unexpected change on the Tower of Eternity that appeared before him. It now lookedpletely different from before. Thest time he had seen it, it had radiated a grey brilliance, and the specters had also been grey in color. But this time, Long Haochen, to his astonishment, stood in front of a Tower of Eternity which had be totally white. Thats right, no matter whether it was the tower itself or its hovering specters, it had all turnedpletely white. But this white color wasnt affiliated to the light element. It was rather based on pure energy of death. Even the specters had be white, and the number of the surrounding specters had also increased by at least twofold. _Could it be that the Tower of Eternity has evolved?_ Long Haochen silently raised this question in his head. Concerning this situation, he could only search for the answer to this question deep inside his memories. Because of the apprehension he felt deep inside, he chose to ignore the past memories about what happened in the Tower of Eternity since his encounter with Elux. He would also avoid to recall those memories sealed deep into his brain. Given his intelligence, it was easy for him to find an answer. Just as he had expected, the changes on the Tower of Eternity were actually provoked by the battle that happened in the Southern Mountains City. The existence and the operating process of the Tower of Eternity needed a massive quantity of souls. In the past, with some mysterious method, the Slumbering Cmity Elux had managed to solidify a massive quantity of soul energy. This method was very possibly rted to his very own soul. And the Tower of Eternitys storage of energy was also massive in itself. However, after several thousand years had passed, although the Tower of Eternity could absorb the external soul energy to a limited extent, it was greatly reduced. In particr, after being unsealed by Long Haochen, it certainly lost a certain amount of its soul energy storages. However, after Long Haochen arrived at the Southern Mountains City, the souls of countless dead humans and demons were absorbed by the Eternal Melody. While thoroughly awaking the tower, it had been able to replenish itself sufficiently with energy. In his memories, there were many profound things that Long Haochen was unable toprehend, and even some memories that were still sealed deep inside, as if telling him that his strength was yet insufficient to examine them. However, he was still in total shock from experiencing this. Although he had very strong reservations against necromancers, he could still not help but admit that the holy necromancer, the Slumbering Cmity Elux, had been an absolute genius. His memories told him that there were some things Elux had been especially proud of during his life. One was his control over soul energy. He gave his controlling method the name of soul cirction, and it enabled him to produce new soul energy naturally, just like the process of a male and a female giving birth to new life. It was based on his experience from thousands of years, as well as one of the reasons why the Tower of Eternity would be able to produce such massive power. At this time, after absorbing a massive amount of soul energy, the Tower of Eternity could finally be said to have thoroughly awakened, bringing forth its true might. What are your first impressions guys? Sima Xian asked the others in a low voice. Wang Yuanyuan was still thoroughly focused on theprehension of the previous phenomenon of spatial transportation, seriously concentrating, but Han Yu blurted out almost instantly, Insignificant. In front of this Tower of Eternity, I really feel insignificant. His words gained the others approval, and Lin Xin remarked without reserve, I also feel the same. I just feel as insignificant as one of the specters here, or I should say I dont even feel as powerful as one of them. Its really too terrifying. From this, we can imagine how powerful that Holy Necromancer had been in his era. Long Haochen turned around and looked at the others, Follow me closely everyone, and never leave the range of the Holy Mantle. We are about to enter the tower. Everyone nodded in session. In fact, after entering this unfamiliar world, Long Haochen was the only trustable element. Long Haochen carried Caier in his arms and noticed with astonishment that her body was slowly warming up. Noticing this change, he hurried to write a few words of inquiry on her hand. To Long Haochens surprise, the reply Caier gave him was, I really like this ce. My Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara also seem to like being here. My cultivation speed should increase tremendously here. This reply surprised Long Haochen, but given his intelligence, he rapidly thought of a possible exnation for it. What kind of attribute did Caier possess? This had always been a mystery to every member of the team, and something Long Haochen never asked her about either. It was a secret she never had told him about. If she felt good in this ce, then this meant without a doubt that Caiers personal attribute was rted to the deathly energy surrounding the tower. Therefore, it was very likely that her attribute was also rted to death and ughter. This would also exin why she had never told him about it before. After a short time of surprise, Long Haochen led everyone to slowly enter the Tower of Eternity. Chapter 299 - The Changes on the Tower of Eternity (III)

Chapter 299: The Changes on the Tower of Eternity (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Seeing the surrounding specters escape with haste, the fear in the members of the team started to gradually disappear. It was reced by feelings of excitement and curiosity towards new things. The gate of the Tower of Eternity had opened wide, and of course, it was for Long Haochen to enter. There was no need to worry that anyone would enter the tower unallowed. The specters outside formed a top notch guard, and even if they would be attacked inside, they could have Haoyues help when it came to the worst. When they approached the entrance of the Tower of Eternity, the surrounding aura of death perceptibly increased in density, but as soon as they entered, Long Haochen deactivated the use of the Holy Mantle. After entering the Tower of Eternity, the threat upon them disappeared immediately. Since they came here to get some experience, the others had to adapt to the Tower of Eternity first, otherwise how would they be embattled? Inevitably, everyone trembled unconditionally, and even Caier was no exception to that. However, Long Haochen who was holding Caiers hand, sensed that her body actually trembled out of excitement. It went so far that Caier rapidly took hold of Long Haochens hand, writing on his palm the words, Im going to train for a bit, I have started to grasp the understanding of something. After writing this, she sat down in a cross-legged position, putting both hands on her knees. With her palms turned up, she started to cultivate right where she sat. Caier is all right, she just needs to cultivate for a bit. Everyone shouldnt move from here, and try to adapt to this deathly aura. But please just keep this firmly in mind. No matter what, you cannot take a single step forward. If you advance, our training program will immediately start, and it will be extremely hard to resist. The energy of death contained inside the Tower of Eternity was actually not that much stronger than outside, but it was extremely pure. It was an energy of death that was devoid of any impurities. More importantly, in there, aside from Long Haochen, everyone else couldnt feel the existence of any spiritual energy rted to their own element. This caused them to be unable to recover their spiritual energy. Of course, this didnt include Caier, who was already cultivating on the ground. From her gentle eyes and rxed expression, it could be seen that she was very suited to the current environment. Long Haochen told hisrades, This ce is extremely special. In a bit, I will show you a demonstration of the training that we will be undergoing. However, you will be unable to recover your spiritual energy in here. Therefore, we will train here for a bit, before returning to our own world, so that you can recover your spiritual energy before returning again. Now, pay attention! Saying this, he lifted his right hand, and with a glint of bright light, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light appeared in his hand. With the Holy Radiant Shield in his left hand, Long Haichen took three firm steps forwardbe the exact. He now stood at the exact same location as during his first test. Immediately, two white glows drilled out from the ground, as if reacting to a specific mechanism. Just like before, two enormous skeletons appeared, carrying a shield in the left and a de in the right hand. Theyunched the three halo-type ability of courage, faith and power before directly rushing towards Long Haochen. This time, Long Haochen didnt have Haoyues assistance, but he also wasnt the same Long Haochen he had been when he came here for the first time. Sensing the imposing aura radiating from these two skeletons, Han Yus and Sima Xians expressions immediately changed. Those enemies were clearly at the sixth step! Since the tests of the tower involved opponents of the sixth step, it was no wonder that Long Haochen warned them not to take any reckless actions. But it was the holy light element released from the bodies of the skeletons that astonished them the most. Long Haochen was already prepared. A dense holy light in liquid form emanated from him, forming a pair of dazzling wings. They grew on his back, shining brightly. This was the condensation of wings, symbol of the sixth step. However, in this ce, those wings could only serve as symbols, because Long Haochen discovered that he was unable to fly. But the wings were not simple flying tools; they also had the function of condensing light element. Relying on the Eternal Melody and his spiritual cavities, the current recovery speed of his spiritual energy could only be termed as monstrous. However, the Light Elemental Fairy Yating was also unable to appear inside the Tower of Eternity. It seemed as if the tower suppressed her. Without Haoyues intervention, the two skeletons charged at Long Haochen together, cooperating wlessly with each other. One of them released golden mes from his eyes while its boned arm showed signs of transformation, whereas the other skeleton directly aimed its attack at Long Haochen, shing at him with its bone de. _They are actually cooperating with each other?_ The skeleton whose bone de was covered in golden color was clearly using Asura Strike. Under such circumstances, how could Long Haochen let him do as he wanted? With a glint of the golden and blue colors in his right hand, two dragon cries resounded at the same time. The first was high-pitched while the second was low-pitched, and both produced a bizarre shock. Two little golden and blue dragons shot forth, striking the skeleton that was aiming its Asura Strike at Long Haochen. With a loud crash, the shield of this skeleton, who tried to resist the attack, broke to pieces along with the de in its other hand, that sessfully blocked in front of it. But to its misfortune, the evolved Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus wasnt something it could possibly resist. Restricted by the entangling dragons of light and water, its body was immediately crushed to small pieces. Right afterwards, a white glow of light made its way into Long Haochens chest. Afterunching this Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus, Long Haochen noticed that after its evolution, this abilitys greatest forte wasnt its boost of power anymore. In fact, its power only increased a little, making it impossible for it to beat this kind of skeleton at its peaked state with sheer strength. Its most important feature was now its restrictive ability, which was Long Haochens greatest speciality. Thus, it was undoubtedly a great asset to him. However, even Long Haochen himself didnt expect that, their restrictive ability aside, the dragons of light and water would also have such destructive power. After all, it was only the first time he used Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus after its evolution. At the time the Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus wasunched, the other skeletons attack also reached its target. The Holy Radiant Shield carrying the Holy Shield ability was boosted with Divine Obstruction. With a loud dang sound, Long Haochen stood absolutely still, and conversely, the skeletons bone sword was repelled strongly. Having reached the sixth step, and moreover using a piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier such as the Holy Radiant Shield, the current Long Haochen was already not as easy to handle anymore. The swordunched with Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus returned promptly, and Long Haochen next showed his formidable performance. Demon Wiping sh burst forth, and countless specks of light appeared out of nowhere. The skeleton was also equipped with a shield, but its greatest defect was the mediocrity of its equipment, in addition to itscking defensive power. Assaulted by the Demon Wiping sh, it was impossible for it tounch a powerful counterattack on the scale of Asura Strike. After the Demon Wiping sh ended, Long Haochen linked it up with the Holy Sword ability, which he had stored using the technique Growing Flowers Into Trees. He additionally added a dragon cry when Holy Sword was followed by an Ascending Dragon Strike. The second skeletons body was instantly shattered into pieces. This time, the training method for Asura Strike didnt appear again in the shape of a golden ball, but it was another white glow that was instantly assimted into Long Haochens body. Without a doubt, it contained twenty units of spiritual energy. The only difference was that Long Haochen naturally didnt absorb it immediately to avoid letting its effect go to waste. It only took a few breaths of time for him to get rid of two skeletons. After advancing to the sixth step of cultivation, Long Haochens strength clearly had gained a massive boost. Furthermore, his had been an individual battle for him, during which he smoothly got rid of two skeletons without even needing Haoyues assistance. But for this same reason, he didnt hold anything back at all. Because he didnt have any extra worries impeding him, he put everything in his attacks, and even used both of his trump cards Bright Rain, Thrusting Hibiscus and Growing Flowers Into Trees. This way he didnt give the two skeleton the chance to unleash their true fighting strength. But even so, the other members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad still saw the skeletons imposing strength. Long Haochens current problemsy in hisck of abilities at the sixth step. Although he possessed the Inheritance Ring from his father, because he had just broken through to the sixth step a little while ago, he didnt have the time toprehend many abilities of the sixth step yet, let alone those belonging to Guardian Knights. To learn those, he would have to first return to the Knight Temple, but he could obviously not wait that long. Instead, he had sought Han Qian, his grandteacher, to learn them from him. Secret techniques couldnt be lightly passed down from one to another, but ordinary ones could. Did everyone see this clearly? Long Haochen turned towards hisrades, exining the utility of the white balls of light. One ball could increase the spiritual energy by ten! To Long Haochens, this was already equivalent to a long time of cultivating, and this was to say nothing of the others who didnt have the privilege of having a physique such as the Scion of Light. Adapting to the death energy wasnt that hard, after all it didnt have any offensive properties. The only hard thing to get used to was that their spiritual energy couldnt be recovered inside the tower. Seeing hispanions give positive replies one after another, Long Haochen nodded, If we continue going forward, the test will have us confront many opponents whose power I cant even assess, but I will do my best to protect everyone. When we are unable to resist, we will have to escape as fast as possible. After leaving a certain range, the skeletons wont keep attacking, and every time we leave ande back, the tests will restart with these two skeletons you just saw. Sima Xian made a motion with his Energetic Ball of Light, dering, Boss, lets start! We are unable to wait any longer. Long Haochen nodded in response, Go! Having said this, he went to the front while the other five took their respective positions ording to the battle formation they were the most used to. Long Haochens advanced very slowly, taking his time, to take one step after another. He wanted to avoid a situation where many enemies appeared at once. Proceeding forward, Long Haochen advanced vigntly, taking roughly five steps forward before unconsciously raising his shield. With a mere light sound, a sharp-shaped spiritual energy narrowly pierced his Holy Radiant Shield. By chance, Long Haochen had just unleashed the Holy Shield ability carried by the shield, enabling him to stop this attack. An illusory-looking figure shed, rming Long Haochen greatly. With a shout, he released the Wiping Demon sh ability with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his hand. Right at the same time, a muffled sound came from behind Long Haochen. Wang Yuanyuans body tumbled back, a deep trace visible on her armor. An assassin, that was an assassin! And he was not alone. Therge area attack Demon Wiping sh failed to reach the opponent because he simply moved too fast. Chapter 300 - Group Progress (I)

Chapter 300: Group Progress (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In fact, what Long Haochens team currently feared the most were assassins, because they had no priest that could use the ability Eyes of Truth. With their presence hidden there was no other way to learn about the existence of assassins. Without Haoyue, they were thuspletely unable to detect concealed assassins. Long Haochen released a Holy Mantle in great rush, enveloping all hisrades in its range. Aftering here for the first time, he seemed to have faintly understood that his own life wouldnt be threatened during these tests, but that might not be the case for therades he brought here. Long Haochen expected the following tests to involve a higher number of skeletons, but who could have expected that the opponents would be assassins? Protect Lin Xin and Yinger! Long Haochen shouted loudly, and at the same moment, the Holy Mantle he released disappeared as easily as a balloon pierced by a needle. Long Haochens team had many strong points, but they had also ws. They had no real priest among their ranks, nor someone able to use powerful wide scale attacks. Lin Xin was afterall a mage that was only capable of casting defensive spells. A red glow of light formed ripples on Lin Xin hands, and he managed to continuouslyunch four Fire Elemental Shields, protecting Chen Yinger and himself. Two sessive muffled sounds rang afterwards. They stemmed from Sima Xian and Han Yu being attacked one after another. Sima Xian was still better off because his newly changed armor was very solid, but Han Yu wasnt as fortunate. He hadnt changed his armor even though it could barely be considered to be at the Spiritual Tier, and after receiving the sudden attack from the unseen assassin, blood gushed out from his chest. This was a very sharp attack which caused Han Yus body to sway and almost fall to the ground, with a stuffy snort. By chance, the Soul Linking Chains power was released, and everyone shared the damage of this blow. The group would obviously not await death passively. They stood back to back and prepared their abilities, nning a counterattack. But those two indistinct assassins disappeared once again. What a powerful spiritual energy! Lets gather for now. Han Yus voice sounded a bit hoarse, and a sharp spiritual energy was bursting forth from his body. Even with the help of the Soul Linking Chains, he had to bear an immense pain. His face was pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat. _Whats to be done?_ These words appeared in everyones mind. They never expected that they would have to so suddenly contend against two assassins of such caliber. Attacking without any warning, disappearing without any trace, and possessing terrible evading skills. Even Long Haochens fast moving Demon Wiping sh didnt reach them in time. The only possible exnation for this was that those skeletons were also at least at the sixth step of cultivation. When Long Haochen nned on drawing back, a ck silhouette suddenly appeared from their rear. With a stinging sound that rang lightly, the ck silhouette appeared at Long Haochens side. Immediately afterwards, this figure let out a white mist, causing a new silhouette to appear. This silhouette seemed to have no physical body, looking just like a specter, but still had the shape of a human. How could Long Haochen ignore such a good asion? With a white sh of light, the Saint Spiritual Stove managed to link him to the opponent, and its Pull ability was immediatelyunched, directly pulling the opponent towards him. The other ck silhouette suddenly appeared once again before Han Yu with another stinging sound, releasing a white mist, but it was blocked by the sudden appearance of a second assassins figure. It was Caier that appeared at thest moment. Suddenly sensing the danger in her state of cultivation, she immediately intervened, just in time. Although she had lost four of her senses, Caier cultivation was based on losing her senses one after another, thus, her perception and her sense of touch were exceedingly sharp. Losing four of her senses had reinforced her leftover ones, enabling her to block the attack of the assassins on the brink of a crisis. Although the leader of the team had been Long Haochen so far, drawing all the glory to him, how could the Saint Daughter of Samsara with an innate talent of the same level as him be anycking in intelligence? The fact that she willingly renounced the glory, cing herself at the back of Long Haochen didnt mean that Caier was ipetent. Sensing the encounter herrades had, she immediately guessed the type of enemies they were confronting. This white mist was more than enough to show their true nature as assassins. More specifically, it was a type of white dust, used by assassins to make themselves invisible. It enfolded its best effect under these kind of circumstances. While Long Haochen attracted one of them towards him, the second assassin also became visible, and the groups attacks naturally also followed. Because of the attack he had just been inflicted, Han Yus body was hurt, and he had to retreat backwards to recover. Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield attacked brazenly, carrying an ear-piercing hissing sound, and Sima Xians Energetical Ball of Light followed ordingly. This time the assassins actions were finally distinct. Confronting the pincer attack of two of his enemies, that assassin unexpectedly managed to draw back in a sh, using extremely swift movements, just as if he was weightless. Right before Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xians attacks reached, he swept away from their range. With a very natural turn, his body threw itself at Caier. Seemingly, their attacks couldnt follow his evading speed? What a terrible situation! These Specter Assassins that appeared inside of the Tower of Eternity were obviously not easy to handle, but unfortunately for them, though some of their attacks couldnt reach, one mustnt by any means forget that the squad still had Long Haochen. Specters indeed didnt have weight and possessed a formidable immunity to physical attacks, but by the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove, they were restricted to a great extent. Theirck of physical substance also became their greatest weakness. The specter that fell victim to Long Haochens Pull ability was forcibly drawn in his direction. Left without another choice, it could only seize the opportunity tounch an attack at Long Haochen. It used both of its hands like two sharp stings, bursting forth with dozens of dots of light. They enveloped Long Haochenpletely, however, Long Haochens powerful attack was ready to wee it. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light burst forth with a powerful Asura Strike. In the midst of ear-piercing hissing sounds, the Asura Strike took the shape of a gigantic de made of intense light. This was not a mere physical attack, but a magical one using thebination of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and the light essence put into the attack. Without any suspense, in the next instant, the Specter Assassin was cut in two by the tyrannical liquid spiritual energy contained in this attack. After his first sess, Long Haochen instantly activated the Pull ability of his Saint Spiritual Stove again, just when the second Specter Assassin was about to reach Caier with its attack. Forcibly pulled away, this Specter Assassin immediately faced a Shining Sunlight Strike from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. As a matter of fact, the Asura Strike had been overkill, and even against the merebination of Shining Sunlight Strike and Demon Wiping sh, this Specter Assassin was left without any way to resist. It directly crumbled to nothingness before Long Haochens attack. As expected, the death of those two assassins also gave rise to two new lumps of white light. Only, this time, they looked a little different than the former balls of light. Although they had just handled the two Specter Assassins, everyone was still drenched in cold sweat. This was especially the case for Han Yu. The sharp spiritual energy that had invaded his body was finally dispersed with difficulty. And during this process, the Soul Linking Chains that linked the seven of them had never disappeared. This meant that everyone had been helping him bear the paining from this sharp energy attack. Han Yu, still filled with trepidation after this experience, dered, If not for the Soul Linking Chains, Im afraid that thisst blow would have caused me to lose all fighting capability. And if another attack came, death would have undoubtedly followed. What a strong offensive power! Long Haochen nodded in response, This sort of Specter Assassin is the same as the previous skeleton, good in attack, but weak in defense. The greatest trait of those Specter Assassins should be their speed. If not for the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove, Im afraid that dealing with those enemies would have been quite challenging. Sima Xian scratched his own head, Then, should I try harder to learn the use of the Eyes of Truth? Everyone immediately gave him bewildered looks, and Lin Xin patted his back, Hey, if you could really learn it, why would you have been waiting until now for that? How could someone of your temper not know about the utility of the Eyes of Truth? Sima Xian gave him a bitter smile, Being unable to learn it isnt my shoring. Innate dispositions, its all about innate dispositions! Looking at hisrades, Long Haochen asked, Do you want to keep going forward, or would you rather retreat? Everyones expressions changed. Clearly, their group of five would have died if they didnt have Long Haochen and Caier with them. This unquestionable oue would have happened although this was only the second test, and they were still far from being able to tell what lied at the end of this first floor. Everyone started to feel discouraged from this. Did everyone lose all self-confidence from this alone? Then youd better note to the Illusory Shrine. Long Haochen coldly said, Here, we can at least confront the tests one after another, and step back anytime. But in the Illusory Shrine, we will have to face many unknown dangers. We cant possibly keep facing weaker enemies forever. Only by confronting greater danger can we be true powerhouses. Lets keep advancing. Boss, if ites to the worse, well just draw back. With the Soul Linking Chains, what is there to fear? Sima Xian dered imposingly, full of vigor as he carried his immense Energetical Ball of Light. The others started to also show resolute expressions. And as for Caier, she had returned to Long Haochens side once again. Though she didnt hear what herrades said, her actions already told a lot about her thinking. As she held onto Long Haochens neck while curling her legs around his waist, they once again became in the real meaning a knight and an assassin forming a single entity. Long Haochen took a deep breath, replying, Since only enemies of the sixth steps are on the first floor, we will very possibly be facing changes in the number of enemies or their types. There wont be any change in their overall strength. Dont feel pressured by the danger, everyone. Sima spoke true, since we have the Soul Linking Chains, what is there to fear? Lets just keep going forward. Saying this, he led hisrades while taking three more steps forward. After seeing no reaction, he then took three more steps forward. This time, there was a reaction. Two figures silently appeared nearby. Like before, they encountered skeletons, but this time they were different from the ones they met in the very beginning. All because those new skeletons had mounts. Chapter 301 - Group Progress (II)

Chapter 301: Group Progress (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Skeleton Knights! The two skeletons mounted Skull Horses, and they werent equipped with the same sword and shield pair, but only a singlence. The heavy sounds of hooves sounded violently on the ground, and the two Skeleton Knights advanced towards Long Haochens group like bolts of lightning. Although the skeletons knights looked imposing, everyone loosened their breath in relief, because these opponents were still easier to deal with than the specters from before. At least, they were facing the enemy head on. Long Haochen didnt dare to attack them head on out of fear that charging would cause him to activate the following test. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, was waved forward,unching a Light Thorn. The Light Thorn carrying Ripples of Light grew to a whole new level in terms of offensive power. The de of golden light separated into two parts in the air and shed at the two Skeleton Knights. With Long Haochens current cultivation, the use of Light Thorn didnt require any incantation from him, and the same went even for those carrying Ripples of Light. The eyes of the two skeleton knights were lit in golden mes, theirnces simultaneously thrusting forward. Next, the two Skeleton Knights released one meter long golden radiances from their hands, striking right in the middle of the Light Thorns. In the midst of hissing sounds, Long Haochens two Light Thorns were crushed to pieces easily, and those two knights were drawing closer to Long Haochen. However, they didnt arrive before him with the same timing; in a situation that looked like the knights were about to simultaneously arrive before Long Haochen, the speed of one of the two suddenly decreased, while the other one kept charging forward. He strode his own skull horse, unexpectedly cing himself behind the other knight, entering a cavalry formation of two, charging one before another. At Long Haochens back were hisrades, so there was naturally no need for him to hesitate. The Holy Radiant Shieldunched the Holy Shield technique, and in addition, Holy Filter Shield and Divine Obstruction were added up to it. Lin Xins two elemental shields also contributed to this defense. _Ssh_ The result wasnt a violent shing sound, but an ear-piercing friction resonating all around. After getting close enough to Long Haochen, the Skeleton Knight forcefully bent his body over, thence in his hand striking Long Haochens Holy Radiant Shield instantly. And at this very time, the second skeleton knight concealed in the rearunched hisnce forward. Differently to the first knight, thence of the second Skeleton Knight was lit by a glistening golden color, giving off three golden rays to strengthen this one attack. Feeling the rapidpressions in the air, Long Haochen felt his own body being restricted by an iparable force. This was a blow that he would have to tough out. Long Haochens perception was far exceeding that of ordinary people, and the same went for his mental capacity. He immediately sensed that his Holy Radiant Shield carrying Divine Obstruction wouldnt be enough to resist the attack. The action of that Skeleton Knight shocked him without limits. The Skeleton Horse he was riding, as well as hisnce, seemed to be aplete part of his body. And all the power of his body seemed to be concentrated on the tip of hisnce, which wasnt something that could be lightly faced. Under these circumstances, Long Haochens adaptability gave him an advantage. The defenses erected by Lin Xin were still present on him, but he discarded his own Holy Radiant Shield. More urately, Long Haochen immediately let go of it and dropped it to the ground, while grasping Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, with both of his two hands. He used an Asura Strike to counter. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light emitted a bizarre buzzing sound, letting out a surge of intense golden light. A terrifying fighting strength was being released at that time. The de and thence shed with each other in a resplendent sh. The explosion from a sort of spatial rupture rang out, causing them all to cover up their ears with their hands. Long Haochen felt just as if he had smashed into a mountain.His body was sent flying backwards and he vomited a gush of blood. An intense golden light blossomed from the seven youths, and everyone stepped back with a groan. Wang Yuanyuans reaction had been very fast. She had ced herself behind Long Haochen in the instant right before he was pushed back. Like this, the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was directly pushed against Caier at Long Haochens back, but the force of impact knocked the three of them back in the range of Lin Xins new Fire Elemental Shields. At that moment, Long Haochen had a very numbing sensation in his hands. He seemed to be unable to feel his hands, and even the radiance from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light dimmed. His Holy Radiant Armor carrying the Holy Spirit Protection had been pierced through by the previous blow. Still, although Long Haochen felt grieved, his opponent wasnt better off. The bonence in the hand of that Skeleton Knight had directly been sent flying and had been shattered into countless pieces in the air. The head of his Skull Horse had been smashed by Long Haochens Asura Strike. The Skull Knight directly fell to the ground before getting up with difficulty. Nheless, he didnt have the time tounch another attack before a sort of gigantic golden meteor hit him, inflicting serious damage with its terrifying bursting power. Carrying Crush inbination with Ripples of Light, the Energetic Ball of Light smashed into the Skeleton Knight that had just fallen from his horse. All the skeletal summons in the tests of the Tower of Eternity had amon weak point, which was their defensive ability. Even if Long Haochen was greatly shaken by the offensive power of the opponent, in the same way, this Skeleton Knight had numerous cracks on his body in addition to having lost his weapon. Under such circumstances, how could he resist the terrifying attack from the Energetic Ball of Light? In the instant he was hit, his body shattered into pieces, and the bright ball of light Long Haochen expected finally appeared. The white light flew to Sima Xian, entering his body. However, their crisis wasnt yet resolved. The first knight that charged at Long Haochens nk suddenly turned around to, before again shing with Long Haochen. On the tip of hisnce, a condensed gaudy golden light blossomed threatingly. Right at that instant, everyone felt their breathing stop suddenly. Long Haochen had endured an attack of the first Skeleton Knight, without sparing any effort. At this instant, who else in the team could possibly resist that attack? Long Haochen had to do so even if he was not even able to raise his hand right then. At this crucial instant, a figure stepped forward without hesitation, standing in front of hisrades, an intense golden radiance bursting forth from him. His firm and vigorous arms held a shield in front of him. This person that faced the danger head on was none other than Long Haochens retainer knight, the second Guardian Knight of the team, Han Yu. Although his defensive power was far inferior to Long Haochen, he was undoubtedly the second ranked of the team in regard of defense. At this time, he was the only one suited for this task. The whole teams coboration came to fruition at this moment of crisis. Facing this very possibly irresistible attack, no one acted rashly, and all of their eyes glinted with an intense resolution. Wang Yuanyuans figure shed at Han Yus nk. In her hand she was holding the three gems that she took out priorly, inserting them in the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield which abruptly burst forth with the Space Splitting Saut. Before the knights body arrived, this glowing attacked reached. Naturally, she wasnt the only one to act: Lin Xin held his Fire Crystal Staff high, and an immense me light shot out from it, before striking the Skeleton Knight violently. The me transformed into the shape of an immense skull of mes, filled with great power, to the extent it even appeared to exceed Wang Yuanyuans Space Splitting Saut in terms of power. After the release of this ability, Lin Xins face immediately became paler, due to the great consumption of his spiritual energy. It was Curse of Fire, the supplementary ability of his Fire Cloud Staff. He couldnt use offensive magic, but this didnt prevent him from using the supplementary ability of his staff. This Fire Magic Control was truly peculiar, and because the Fire Cloud Crystal in itself was made of a high quality material, it carried another ability of the same type as Long Haochens Storing Power. Curse of Fire was in itself an offensive ability of the fifth step, but when executed with the Storing Ability, it could reach a whole new level. Of course, the premise was to pour enough spiritual energy into the attack. Seeing the danger before their eyes, Lin Xin didnt dare show any reservation. His spiritual energy was entirely poured into the Fire Cloud Crystal Staff, which immediately manifested its undoubtable utility. It did increase the degree of power of his attack drastically, but at the same time absorbed more than 3,000 units of internal spiritual energy from his body. This Curse of Fire burst out with the strength of a spell of the sixth step. Long Haochen didnt stay idle and although he was temporarily unable tounch attacks or defend, he still had his supportive abilities. In the midst of his frantic chants, golden halos spread from under him, providing hisrades with boosts. Sima Xian appeared on Han Yus other nk with a serene expression, and the Energetic Ball of Light in his hand. It was covered with an intense and rapidly condensing golden light which clearly not only stemmed from Ripples of Light. Their Demon Hunt Squad was a whole; and although Long Haochens strength was great, the teams development couldnt rely only on him alone. In this crucial time, the other members all fulfilled their respective roles. Two violent explosions emerged from that Skeleton Knight at the same time. Wang Yuanyuans Space Splitting Saut was using the spatial attribute, thus when it shed against the Skeleton Knight, a fantastic scene emerged. An intense silvery light suddenly charged in the shape of a brilliant cover, or more urately speaking, a conical cover that was rooted in the path of the Skeleton Knights violent charge. _What a powerful charging ability!_ From this scene, one couldnt help but feel horrified. However, this time, Lin Xins strength was the key factor. The instant his Curse of Fire came in contact with the Skeleton Knight, it also transformed into the shape of a brilliant cover to block its path. But on top of that, Lin Xin immediately waved the Fire Cloud Crystal in his hand energetically, causing a boom to ring out in the process. He had detonated his Fire Curse technique, producing an effect just like the explosion of a bomb. Chapter 302 - Group Progress (III)

Chapter 302: Group Progress (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Skeleton Knights weak defensive power again became their downfall. Facing the destructive power of the Fire Curse technique, the knight waspletely helpless as his Skeletal horse and he himself werepletely obliterated. However, this didnt mean that his attack would stop just like that. In the instant his body exploded, the bonence in his hand was thrown, aiming directly at the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Han Yu shouted loudly, his right foot firmly nted on the ground. He shifted his body in the path of the bonence and the moment the light was suddenly reflected on his shield, Divine Obstruction wasunched. At this very moment, Sima Xian also made a move from his nk. With the Energetical Ball of Light he brazenly attacked and produced a white lightning strike. This light elemental lightning included in this attack could only be one thing: Adjudication, an attack exclusive to priests. Even though Sima Xian was only capable of using the most low level type of Adjudication, it was still an ability of the fifth step. Suffering from the effects of Adjudication, that rapidly-flying bonence slowed down as it collided against the Energetic Ball of Light, before violently striking Han Yus shield. BangC A ring golden light simultaneously radiated from the group of seven, and Han Yus buffeted body was caught in midair by Long Haochen. With the destruction of the Skeleton Knights main body, thences blow had already weakened a lot. Therefore, with Sima Xians support, Han Yu had to only bear roughly a third of the strength of the attack Long Haochen had faced. But even so, he felt as if his arms would snap. That was how terrifying the power of thatnce was. A Halo of Recovery spread out from Han Yus body, enveloping all hisrades. Because everyone had suffered the pain from the two attacks, they were far from feeling good. Nheless, Lin Xin was brimming with a happy smile. Wahaha, I received it! I received it! At the same time Han Yu bore this attack, a white and a golden glow rushed forth to Lin Xins body. These were his rewards for killing the Skeleton Knight, but how could this let him go wild with joy in such a moment? As Long Haochens arms were gradually recovering from the numbness, he told Sima Xian, Sima, take a look at the ability contained in that golden radiance. You can actually learn it. Okay. Sima Xian shut his eyes, giving it a try. The ability was Asura Thrust, which had an utility simr to Asura Strike, but was impossible to avoid at a certain range while attacking in a straight line. Inparison, Asura Thrust condensed a little more spiritual energy, and increased the power even further, but it also consumed a monstrous amount of spiritual energy. In numbers, over 2,000 units. It could also be used inbination with strengthening abilities like Storing Power. What surprised Long Haochen was that after he announced this abilitys uses, Sima Xians chest glinted golden before the golden light absorbed in his body surprisingly emerged again. And it wasnt only him: the same happened for Lin Xin. A simr golden ball of light was floating in front of him. How could this happen? Long Haochen asked in surprise. Sima Xian and Lin Xin stared nkly and shook their heads. Sima Xian replied, I dont know how this could have happened. While I was examining it, I sensed a sudden feeling of rejection, before it came out again. Right at that time, that golden ball of light seemingly already started to disappear. Long Haochen was startled. Hurrying to Sima Xians side he grabbed that golden light, immediately absorbing it inside his body. Han Yu, fuse with that one in front of Lin Xin, it seems to be an ability that can only be learned by people suited to it. The Tower of Eternity seemed all the more mysterious to everyone, and this applied even to Long Haochen himself, who had to learn about it little by little. Finally, Long Haochen and Han Yu fused with their respective golden balls of lights. After they sensed the power of the abilities, theprehension of them appeared in their minds. These types of abilities were very simr to those that could be learnt in the Alliances Treasure Storing Pavilion. Asura Thrust was an ability that admittedly required a massive consumption of spiritual energy, but its terrifying offensive power was something everyone learned soon. After Long Haochen tried it, it gave them a tremendous shock. The offensive power of Asura Thrust was about three times the power produced by a peak attack of the same scale. That was to say, with Long Haochens internal spiritual energy reaching 4,100 units, Asura Thrust would consume 2,000 units of spiritual energy to produce the power of 6,000 units of spiritual energy. And if he poured his whole internal spiritual energy in the attack, its power would then burst out to a whole new level, reaching a power of more than 12,000 units of spiritual energy. What kind of concept was that? Used correctly, even a powerhouse of the seventh step would have to be cautious against this attack. Sima Xian reacted in frustration, Why couldnt I learn it?! This is an extremely powerful ability! After giving some thought, Long Haochen replied to him, Perhaps it is because of your vocation, since all the abilities you should be able to learn would normally have to be of the priest-type, although its only offensive abilities. Youre after all a priest. Its sure that knights would be able to learn to use Asura Thrust, after all, it is from a Skeleton Knight that we got to learn it. From my guess, Caier and Yuanyuan would also be able to learn it. But our tests have just gotten started, and Im sure well get more and more nice surprises from the next trials. Everyone will be sure to gain some profits. I have to emphasize it, but you have to wait for your spiritual energy to recover entirely before absorbing the white type of ball, otherwise it will go to waste. All right, we should get back for now. Heading back was a wise choice. Although they had onlypleted three tests for now, surviving these three could be said to have been a great challenge, between the thrilling invisible enemy they faced for the second battle and the Skeleton Knights whose formidable power was an extreme threat, that narrowly defeated their group. Heading back to recover from their wounds as well as to recover some physical power, spiritual energy and summarize their experience was what they had to do for now. Getting back to their own world was very simple: after leaving the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen activated the Eternal Melody to transfer them back. With a glint of golden light, Long Haochen and hisrades returned to their room in the headquarters of the Priest Temple, in the Southern Mountains City. Everyone immediately felt their breath loosen. Being constricted by that death energy really felt painful. Chen Yinger blurted out, unable to help letting out the hesitations in her heart, Captain, you are all about to get those ball of spiritual energy by killing the targets from the test, but how about me? Whats to be done for me? I can only rely on McDull to attack for me. Long Haochenughed in response, Thats not right. Yinger, have you forgotten about your own speciality? You still have the Creature Summoning Gate! Every time we enter in the future, you can just directly put your Creature Summoning Gate to use to summon a magical beast. If it turns out to be one without attacking power, you wont get any reward during the process of the tests, but if a rather powerful beast appears, we will pay attention to let your magical beast get thest attack, so that you can get some rewards of spiritual energy. Eh After having not used the Creature Summoning Gate for so long, I had already forgotten about it Chen Yingers face became red, as she kept herself concealed behind Wang Yuanyuans back. Long Haochen dered, Lets recover for now everyone. After recovering our spiritual energy and physical capabilities, we will enter one more time. Yes! Everyone replied in unison. Over the test they just had, because of unfamiliarity with the Tower of Eternity, it could be said that apart from Long Haochen, others performances were just passable. Of the six undeads, four of the spiritual energy balls were obtained by Long Haochen. But even so, they fully understood the benefits the Tower of Eternity could bring them. The other benefits aside, the mere progressing speed of their spiritual energy would inevitably grow tremendously. This increase of spiritual energy wasnt even affected by ones innate talent. In addition, never forget, but in this ce, they had only been battling strong enemies in actualbat situation. Be it in terms of individual strength or coordination as a team, this would be an excellent help for them to improve, enabling them to progress very fast in addition to learning abilities. The smile Han Yu had on his face ever since learning Asura Thrust had yet to disappear. This ability was truly very satisfying, and although he could use it only once, it was beyondpare with the feeble attacking power that he had always been having, giving it a tremendous boost. In preparation for the next time they would enter the Tower of Eternity, everyone focused on cultivation to gather the lost spiritual energy. Although Han Yus healing ability couldntpare to Luc Xi in terms of scale, having finally learned some specialized abilities on this discipline, injuries werent a problem anymore with him. In addition, he could have Long Haochens help for healing, and could benefit from his Spiritual Gathering Halo; to him, activating it wouldnt be a big issue since with the assistance of the Eternal Melody, he would be able to recover even in the Tower of Eternity. An hourter, everyone was back to their peak-condition, but a new problem arose. Long Haochen found himself to be unexpectedly unable to teleport them inside of the Tower of Eternity, the Eternal Melody being seemingly unable to create a link. Even after attempting for a few times, he wasnt sessful. How could that happen? Long Haochen asked with a totally puzzled face. As he was about to attempt a few more times, Wang Yuanyuan was the one to stop him. Captain, dont keep trying for now. I think that I can tell out the reason for that. Wang Yuanyuan said in a serious tone. As the only spatial attribute user of the team, she had naturally the best understanding regarding spatial energy out of the whole team. We are in total seven, and that Tower of Eternity is in an unknown location. Going through this kind of grouped teleportation is thus bound to consume an important amount of energy from the Tower of Eternity. And I think that the checkpoint where we are teleported also needs to use up some more energy to be charged up. Under this kind of circumstances, if the Tower of Eternity didnt restrict us in the number of teleportations, it would very possibly cause its consumption of energy to rise excessively. Lets try again in a bit. I think you should try once an hour, it should be enough. This way, we will be able to know the time needed for every new teleportation. Hearing her interpretation, Long Haochen nodded in response, Since things are this way, lets cultivate together for today, until we manage to get transported to those tests. Since this is closely rted to our future ns, well need to have the urate information of the time necessary between two trips to the Tower of Eternity. Chapter 303 - Spirit of a Powerhouse (I)

Chapter 303: Spirit of a Powerhouse (I)

Since everyone was cultivating cross-legged, they didnt take up a lot of space. The girls were seated on the bed, while all the boys were on the ground. They all cultivated together in the same room. Sima Xian and Han Yu sat on either side of Long Haochen. The intense holy light energy concentrated around Long Haochen was beneficial for their cultivation. Caier and Wang Yuanyuan who had both gained some understanding during the trip to the Tower of Eternity, had hurried to sit down cross-legged, entering their cultivating pose. Chen Yinger knew very well that she was currently the weakest in the team, and thus seized the moment to raise her spiritual energy level. After the repeated failures earlier, Long Haochen tried to enter the Tower of Eternity every half hour. But only six hours after they left the Tower of Eternity did the Eternal Melody show signs of connecting again. After the teleportation seeded in an instant, Long Haochen and hisrades found themselves right outside of the Tower of Eternity. Seeing the Tower of Eternity appearing exactly the same as thest time they entered, Long Haochen gave it some thoughts, dering, We seem to be able to enter again after six hours, which means we could enter twice a day. This time should be subject to variations. But it should always require a time close to six hours before we are able to enter the tower again. After thepletion of this test, everyone will stay here. I will try to teleport back by myself to see whether it is possible. Taking the tests was a lot easier than thest time, and this time, Han Yu yed a major role, since during the past few hours of cultivation, his Demonic Eye managed to evolve. This signified that they wouldnt have the trouble of not having ess to the Eyes of Truth anymore. After evolving, the Demonic Eye got six more tentacles, looking close to twice the size than in the past. From his body fluctuations of spiritual energy emerged, clearly showing that the level of his magical beast was now at the seventh rank. It was also an expert in mind attacks of the sixth step. With the addition of the Demonic Eye, and the past experience,pleting the first three tests became a lot easier. The first test was naturallypleted without any difficulty. Under Long Haochensmand, the ones that obtained the balls of spiritual energy were Caier and Wang Yuanyuan. Chen Yinger also tried to summon something with her Creature Summoning Gate, but her luck was only average. She summoned a wind elemental turtle, a magical beast of the fifth rank. It couldnt be considered very powerful, but it didnt have any problem with executing thest blow as long as it had the support of the team. The Specter Assassins of the second test were also a lot easier to handle this time. After evolving, the Demonic Eye disyed a terrifying force, revealing the figures of the two Specter Assassins with the Eyes of Truth, before immediatelyunching an area-targeted mind attack. The two Specter Assassins were only temporarily put in a dazed state, but these mere two seconds were sufficient for the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad to hunt them down. This time, everyone gave priority to Chen Yinger, who executed thest blows, and happily picked up the two balls of spiritual energy. The following third test was also a lot easier with the addition of the Demonic Eye. Itunched a spell called Mental Interference, and this mind type spells effect was simple: upon hitting the target, it would decrease its speed ofunching abilities by half. The two Skeleton Knights were admittedly strong, but as long as they werent given the opportunity to use terrifying attacks like Asura Thrust, they were a lot easier to handle. This times rewards were given to Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian. Lin Xin had only his Fire Curse technique as offensive power, and Long Haochen decided to keep that in store for the uing battles. This time, they passed through these three trials without much effort, and wanted to see what the fourth test would be. Make your preparations, everyone. Han Yu, tell your Demonic Eye to keep using the Eyes of Truth. Long Haochen adjusted his shield in his left and his sword in his right, leading hisrades forward. Six glows of white light enveloped the six of them almost simultaneously, and immediately, six robust skeletons appeared in the midst of the white light. It wasnt only them, but at the same time, four Specter Assassins appeared to everyones surprise. It was their luck that they had the Eyes of Truth activated, or else, the Specter Assassins concealed behind the six Skeleton Warriors would have been a great bother. The enemies abruptly came in a number of ten, which gave Long Haochen a sudden fright. These were after all opponents at the sixth step and would at least have the corresponding strength. Four glows of white light were instantlyunched from Long Haochens chest, and stepping forward, he stamped on the ground with his right foot, producing a loud bang. This little step shouldnt be underestimated by any means; with this mere step, Long Haochens aura rose to its peak, and in addition, with the loud banging along, all hisrades attention was focused. The four white glows deriving from his chest targeted those four Specter Assassins almost immediately. That was to say that it took a pocket of time and power for Long Haochen to distract the four Specter Assassins attention, relieving hisrades from a great source of worry. Han Yu, Mental Interference and Mental Attacks! With this loud shout, Long Haochen charged in the direction of the six skeletons. With this motion, he could be said to have ced himself in the midst of danger. At this moment, a strong red light passed above Long Haochens head, and immense mes appeared above those Six Skeleton Warriors, sweeping past them and attacking from behind. One had no choice to admit that although Lin Xin wasnt able to use any type of offensive magic, his control over magic was exquisite. Using his exquisite control, the Fire Curse Technique bombarded the ground under those six Skeleton Warriors. At this time, those four Specter Assassins started to charge at Long Haochen, affected by his Saint Spiritual Stove, and as a result, approached from right behind the Skeleton Warriors. In other words, Lin Xins Fire Curse technique was aimed right between the Skeleton Warriors and the Specter Assassins, right in the middle of the enemies ranks. Coinciding with that spell, the Demonic Eyes first spell reached: Mental Interference. Affected by Mental Interference, the Skeleton Warriors bodies glinted with a golden light. The technique showed a certain effect, but the Specter Assassins seemed to be affected even stronger. Under the influence of the Mental Interference, they lost a great deal of their speed. The Fire Curse technique instantly burst forth, causing the following scene to astonish everyone. The four Specter Assassins that were attracted by the effects of Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove were unexpectedly instantly reduced to ashes, taking the shape of four white glows absorbed by Lin Xin. It was an instant kill! Not only that, but those six Skeleton Warriors that were charging at them stumbled from the violent explosion, and right then, the mind attack reached, causing the six Skeleton Warriors to be unable to be maintain their attacks. Within seconds, they sank in total disorder. It was also at that time that Long Haochen reached them. The three attacks Demon Wiping sh, Shining Sr Strike and Ascending Dragon Strike hit violently, directly killing two of the skeletons. He wasnt the only one to act. Han Yu also immediatelyunched an Asura Thrust at one of the skeletons. He achieved results that one can well imagine, causing the Skeleton Warriors body to crumble instantly under this fierce attack. The Energetic Ball of Light and the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield also struck at their respective targets. At their optimal state, Skeleton Warriors would hardly let themselves get hit that easily, but with Lin Xin and the Demonic Eyes magic attack, everything was different. Totally unable to either attack or defend effectively, the two Skeleton Warriors were instantly reduced to nothingness. Thest skeleton was destroyed by Caiers golden dagger, that hit its head on the rear, directly diffusing the me igniting its soul. The battle ended at a speed that outstripped everyones expectations. That had after all been ten opponents! While everyone looked at each other, Chen Yinger couldnt help but cry out, This Did we really manage to aplish this? Lin Xin, who obtained four of the golden balls in a mere instant, replied with iparable pride, Of course we managed this. Didnt you see the uracy of bros Fire Curse technique? This time, there wasnt anyone refuting him, because everything he said was the truth. If not for that fireball that weakened the Skeleton Warriors as well as instantly killing the four specters, they wouldnt have achieved this victory so easily. Lin Xin was the one who gained the most from these skeletal summons, but he had also been the one to have the most impact. Long Haochenposed himself after a little moment of shock. Yeah, just like this! This is the coordination we need to have. Lin Xin did very well. Lin Xin sighed, Its only now that I start to really understand why Father was so stubborn with his research of offensive magic. A powerful mage surely has the ability to turn the situation on a battlefield aroundpletely. However, I already gave the pledge at that time, that I would never learn offensive magic in my life. Sorry,rades, I Sima Xian, who was right at his side, carried the Energetic Ball of Light with one hand while patting Lin Xins shoulder with his other one, Alright, alright, what reason do you have to feel affected like that, has-drug-bro? Since youre unable to learn offensive magic, youll just have to use more equipment carrying supplementary offensive spells and nothing more. Dont you know about being flexible? Lin Xins eyes lit up, Ai, the muscle-d guy you are turns out to be not so stupid. Go f*** your sister. Sima Xian heaved his Energetic Ball of Light, showing a threatening expression, Do you want to have a spar with this metallic ball? Lin Xin showed a wretched smile in response, Dont say this, I really have a sister. Prepare your ass well, bro will introduce her to youter. This time, it was Sima Xians turn to have his eyes lighting up. Although he had always found Lin Xin narcissistic and somewhat vulgar, he was still in his opinion pretty good in terms of looks. So his sister shouldnt be half bad then. Thinking of this, the anger on his face immediately softened to a warm expression. Seeing this clown-acting, Long Haochenughed gently, We have to keep advancing. Everyone shook their heads almost simultaneously. Although this battle was something they managed to win smoothly, a great part of luck was still involved in the process. This fourth test had forced them to confront ten powerhouses. If the next one would include ten Skeleton Knights able to use Asura Thrust, what would happen then? Added to that, they were exhausted to some extent; at least, Lin Xin was unable tounch Fire Curse again. Most of all, having passed through four tests, everyone gained profits. After going twice into the Tower of Eternity, they gained more from the balls of spiritual energy alone than what they would have usually gained from cultivating normally. To say nothing that they had also been cultivating between their visits at the tower. Chapter 304 - Spirit of a Powerhouse (II)

Chapter 304: Spirit of a Powerhouse (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Captain, the ability you use is called Asura Strike right? Wang Yuanyuan suddenly asked. Long Haochen nodded, replying, Thats right! Wang Yuanyuan smiled, This ability seems more suited to me than Asura Thrust. I have just obtained it from that skeleton. Ill train with it once we get back. Ever since he had gotten his Energetic Ball of Light, Sima Xians attack power surpassed hers, and Wang Yuanyuan was eager to take back her original standing in the team. And for that pursuit, the ability Asura Strike was a perfect match for her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Long Haochen dered, Lets do it like this, well leave Caier here at the tower, while everyone else will head back with me. Caier can recover her spiritual energy here, but you guys cant. Although he was unwilling to leave Caier at the tower, this was her own request. Furthermore, she told him once again that the death energy in here was advantageous for her cultivation, and caused her to gain some new understanding regarding her Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Leaving Caier pretty close to the entrance of the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochenunched the Eternal Melodys teleportation. After returning to their room, everyone went back to cultivating. Long Haochens experiment turned out sessful; and proved that leaving someone in the Tower of Eternity was possible. However, he still didnt stop testing the teleportation once every half an hour. He was truly anxious about the fact Caier stayed there. Only six hourster did he feel that he was able to teleport again, and gathered hisrades at his side, impatient to return to Caiers side. Caier was all right, still cultivating in the same ce. Long Haochen had brought some food and water especially for her, and gave it to her while the others had some more rest, before continuing their tests. However, a change urred. The first, second and third test had unexpectedly disappeared, and as they started to think that the cause for that could be that Caier hadnt left with them, the six Skeleton Warriors and the four Specter Assassins of the fourth test appeared. This was however not enough to cause them to panic, and bybining everyones ability, they barely managed to get rid of those ten enemies. However, it became impossible for them to challenge the fifth test. The Tower of Eternity seemed to be an eternal mystery. Even now, they were far from being able to grasp its rules. Without any other choice, everyone returned back to their own world to cultivate, and Long Haochen agreed with the others to gather six hourster, to try the tower once again. Making use of that interval of time, Long Haochen went to look for his grandteacher Han Qian, to learn about the basic abilities of a Guardian Knight of a sixth step. For those, the Tower of Eternity was going to be an optimal training ce. Over the following days, they entered the Tower of Eternity twice everyday , and as time passed, they finally managed to grasp some rules little by little. The disappearance of the first three tests wasnt caused by the fact that Caier had remained there at that time, but because they passed the fourth test. From that moment onwards, the first three tests had stopped to appear. After some more tries, they finally encountered the guardians of the fifth test. There were five Skeleton Knights and five specter assassins. After passing the fourth test one more and making the decision to challenge the fifth test, the pressure they had to bear was huge. Although they had the Demonic Eye of the seventh rank at their side, which prevented the Skeleton Knights and the Specter Assassins to disy their full power, these undead creatures were still a terrible opponent. By chance, Lin Xin took a Great Recovery Pill at the crucial timing, recovering enough tounch another Fire Curse, restricting the specters and helping the team pass the fifth test. However, they clearly didnt have any strength left to challenge the sixth test. Thus, after re-entering, they once again started from the fourth test. For this reason, they took the fourth and the fifth tests everyday, trying to use different battle patterns, while distributing the balls of spiritual energy evenly. Continuously facing the undead creatures pressure, everyone started to harmonize better and better with each other, and more importantly, even if the seven of them had to share the gains, there were enough for them to gain close to sixty units of spiritual energy per day. Ten dayster, Caier, Lin Xin, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan reached the bottleneck of 4000 units of internal spiritual energy. Even Sima Xian and Chen Yinger went beyond 3,600 units of internal spiritual energy. Absorbing more balls of spiritual energy after reaching a bottleneck would only result in waste, thus Sima Xian and Chen Yinger naturally became the ones who obtained the balls of spiritual energy. Every daypleting the fourth and fifth trials of the Tower of Eternity, everyone managed to get balls filled with twenty units of spiritual energy. That was to say, the two of them gained more than two hundred units of internal spiritual energy every day. Two dayster, when Sima Xian and Chen Yinger also reached the bottleneck of the sixth step, everyone felt as if they were in a dream. Beforeing there, no one among them would have expected that they would be able to reach the bottleneck of the sixthstep so fast. As long as they made some breakthrough, they would be able to be powerhouses of the sixth step. Now, except from Long Haochen, the others spiritual energy also reached the bottleneck, and thus when they re-entered the Tower of Eternity, the balls of spiritual energy were naturally absorbed by him. However, Long Haochen quickly had to tell everyone sad news: the balls of spiritual energy lost their effectiveness. When Long Haochens internal spiritual energy reached 5,000 units, the balls of spiritual energy lost all effectiveness: although he absorbed a few of them, it had no progressing effect on his internal spiritual energy. This situation caused everyone to feel a bit panicked. Returning to the normal situation after having gotten used to progressing so quickly every day definitely didnt feel good. How did this happen? Could it be that spiritual energy can only be gained that way up to 5,000 units? Lin Xin asked eagerly. Long Haochen didnt give a response, but sunk in his thoughts. A long timeter, Long Haochen responded with a serious tone, This is likely the limit of the Tower of Eternity. After all, the cultivating speed here is just too fast. Based on this cultivating speed, it would only take us one year to get the chance to break through to the seventh step. Lets try out the sixth test. If the balls of spiritual energy obtained then are still unable to make my internal spiritual energy increase, it will mean that at least on the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, the increase of spiritual energy is limited to a level of 5,000 units. Hearing Long Haochen say the words first floor, the others expressions immediately eased up. He was right, they were currently only on the first floor, and the Tower of Eternity had a total of seven floors. Who said that they wouldnt be able to find this type of balls increasing ones spiritual energy in the upper floors? Han Yu replied with a sigh, We should be already plentifully satisfied with the situation. Just how many are even able to break through past the bottleneck of the sixth step? After making a breakthrough to the sixth step, everyone will have spiritual cavities, and this will naturally increase our cultivation speed. Having a too easy time cultivating is not necessarily a good thing either. Wang Yuanyuan nodded, responding, What Han Yu said makes sense. If everything bes too simple, the progress will also lose stability. From my estimate, breaking through to the sixth step will be ratherplicated, and thats because our spiritual energy rose too fast. Long Haochen suddenly revealed a smile, Thats for sure! Breaking through the bottleneck is enough of a pressure. And anyway, in this Tower of Eternity, pressure is really what we miss the least. Lets go challenge the sixth test then. Now that everyone in the group except from him were at the peak of the fifth step, passing through the fourth and the fifth tests was already a lot easier than before. But how about the sixth test? ording to the current distance they had covered, the first floor came very possibly with nine or ten trials, and each one of them would be harder than the previous one. How could the pressure be low? In addition that they couldnt make their spiritual energy progress anymore here, the pressure they bore was still tremendous. But considering that they had to break through a bottleneck, being subjected to a great pressure would be of great help. Wasnt it the pressure when facing the Moon Demon of the eighth step that helped Long Haochen to break through? cing themselves in a good formation, they decided to take on the sixth challenge under Long Haochens lead. This time, they took no less than ten steps forward, before seeing a sudden change happen in front of them. A white glow of light appeared suddenly, but unlike those undead creatures that appeared with a little spark of white light, this time it was a huge white light pir that appeared. Immediately afterwards, a red cloud appeared on the top of the light pir, and a Skeleton Warrior like those they had faced before appeared. That red glow was impressively a specter. Colored red, it was the first time Long Haochen got to see one of that kind. What they saw next was that red specter descended slowly, falling on the Skeleton Warrior. Long Haochen attempted tounch a Light Thorn, but the de of light disappeared instantly upon contact with the white pir of light. This meant that preventing the red specter and the white skeleton to get in contact would be impossible for them. Observing with caution, Long Haochen noticed that although that specter that had appeared so suddenly wasnt different from the other specters in size, its energy concentration was a lot greater. If the other specters could be said to look very transparent, then this one seemed to look a lot more real, just like a lump of pure energy. Without even giving him the time to search in the memories left inside him, the characteristics of that kind of specter appeared from his subconscious. It was the spirit of a powerhouse. Only the soul of powerhouses with top-level innate talent had the possibility to keep their own attributes after their deaths. In case they became real undead creatures, they would then be a lot more powerful than those undeads without a consciousness of their own. Be careful, everyone. Those red specters are spirits of powerhouses, very possibly not only possessing fighting instinct, but furthermore battle skills in using the fire element. Lin Xin, dont use Fire Curse, and focus on supporting everyones defenses. When used defensively, magic would reduce the elementary power of spells of the same elements, but attacks would naturally get weakened. At the time Long Haochen was speaking, the red colored spirit of a powerhouse seemed to have dissolved into the Skeleton Warrior, and thetter, originally devoid of vitality, slowly raised its head, intense red light glowing in its eyes. Soon after, his body abruptly became me colored, and his sore-looking bones grew rapidly. It took no more than a blink of an eye for him to gain one meter in height, bing a three meter high gigantic Skeleton Warrior. Chapter 305 - Spirit of a Powerhouse (III)

Chapter 305: Spirit of a Powerhouse (III)

His bone de and shield also lit in a glowing red color, and under his body, mes soared threateningly. This enemy was one of a kind that Long Haochens group had never faced before. Though also being at the sixth step, the pressure he caused the group to feel waspletely different. As the white glowing pir disappeared silently, an unimpeded violent scream came out from that red skeleton. He didnt charge yet, just staring at Long Haochens group with his eyes glowing with red mes. In the mes throbbing on his eyes, Long Haochen saw, with astonishment, signs of intelligence.?So this Skeleton Warrior is not only conscious, but also intelligent? Undead magic is really an endless marvel! Stepping forward, the red skeleton raised his bone de, slowly advancing towards Long Haochens group. Although it was at slow pace, each one of these steps appeared extremely firm to everyone else. As Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was raised upwards, Long Haochens eyes glistened in intense light, weing the red skeleton in big strides. His movement wasnt so fast-paced either, but followed a certain rhythm. Meanwhile, three strengthening halos were unleashed. The red skeletons eyes shed, and he immediately closed the distance separating him and Long Haochen, originally quite close to each other. The two parties were from the beginning separated only by five meters. The Red Skeleton suddenly strode forward in arge step, assaulting violently the surroundings with a red-hot aura. Long Haochen took a little step back, lifting up the Glorious Holy Shield. Right at that time, the bone sword of the red skeleton chopped down, and the next scene shocked everyone enormously. The mes concentrated around the red skeleton were unexpectedly condensed entirely on his bone de, the front of which burst out with a crystallic red radiance appearing the same as a material object. A zing aura twisted the nearby air surrounding Long Haochens body, striking with a powerful sh. It was Asura Strike, or more urately speaking, it should be called a ming Asura Strike. The blowunched by the red skeleton wasnt sudden, but gave off a transcendent sensation. Asura Strike was something Long Haochen was also capable of, but he discovered that whenparing himself to this red skeleton, he was clearly far from being familiar with this skill. This single blow that looked like it had beenunched by this red skeleton very easily seemed like one that had been trained through a lot of hard work and undergone numerous revisions. The Glorious Holy Shield was used inbination with Divine Obstruction, and two Holy Shields wereunched in session; one wasunched by the shield, and the other was naturally one of the basic skills of the sixth step that Long Haochen had just learnt. BangC An immense vibration caused Long Haochen to be pushed back several steps. Right at that time, the red skeleton unexpectedly disappeared from his line of sight. Relyingpletely on his natural instincts, Long Haochen swiftly drew back to the left side, immediatelyunching an Asura Strike with Blue Rain Hibiscus of Light present in his hand. With another bang, the bone de in that red skeletons hand unexpectedly gathered three of the crystallized radiances from the previous use of Asura Strike, shocking even Long Haochen in the process.?An Asura Strike that doesnt get dispersed after use? Immediately next, Long Haochen, who didnt have the time to use Divine Obstruction, was sent flying by the attack. Both his arms felt sore; it went so far that he was incapable of raising them up. However, as Long Haochen was sent flying, he saw the next course of action of that red skeleton. This fighting style was truly as natural as flowing water. After this attackunched at Long Haochen, he didnt keep pursuing and attacking, because the attacks of the other members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad were arriving. The red skeleton suddenly stretched his whole body forward. Even though he was three meters tall, he was still extremely nimble. The Revolving Space Splitting Shield attack from Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield flew in his direction, but didnt hit. While stretching forward, the red skeleton suddenly twisted his body, pounding the sky with a very dexterous motion of the bone de in his hand, chopping at the side of Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light, and abruptly elerating his whole body in the process. Going almost instantly past the enormous Energetical Ball of Light, he dashed to the middle of Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian with no more but a single step forward. At this time, Long Haochen felt as if the blood inside of him had been clotted, when the Saint Spiritual Stove suddenly erupted, rushing at that red skeleton to try to make himself the target of his attack. However, the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove failed that time. Just as if that red skeleton grew eyes on his back, his body shed illusorily, separating itself in two in a split second and turned into emptiness upon being reached by the Saint Spiritual Stove, his real body appearing behind Sima Xians back. Oh no!?That was Long Haochens only thought. Never could he have imagined that this red skeleton born from the spirit of a powerhouse would actually be this powerful. Everyone was rmed. Since Long Haochen could see the danger Sima Xian was in, so could Lin Xin, Chen Yinger, and Han Yu. . However, they couldnt do anything to stop the red skeletons iing attack. The body of the red skeleton suddenly turned into a sort of golden red shadow, escaping against all expectations from the Demonic Eyes mind attack. Han Yus rushed charge was alsoingte, and Lin Xin could only hurriedly release one elementary shield. As for Chen Yinger, there was nothing she could possibly do. This time in the Tower of Eternity, her summoned magical beast was extremely weak, and had already died previously. And there was not enough time to give McDull a magical crystal to eat. This scene took long to describe, but it happened in a sh. At the time the red skeleton arrived at Sima Xians back, his de was already swinging. It was as if each movement of his was a preparation for the next one; none of these were any wasteful. Sima Xian was still in the middle of pulling back his Energetical Ball of Light, and basically didnt even attempt to dodge it. This was because of his confidence in Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove, having seen its white glowe in contact with the red skeleton. Sima! Long Haochen shouted in despair. Poff! Its over!?Long Haochens brain nked outpletely. Considering the strength of that red skeleton, Sima Xian couldnt possibly survive to his blow. However, his eyes shrank down right at that time. Did Sima Xian die? No, he didnt. The red skeletons bone de immediately stopped all of a sudden upon entering in contact with his neck, and Sima Xian felt no more but a hot feeling on his neck. Immediately next, that red skeletons bone de was retrieved, hitting immediately at his back, and causing him to be sent flying. The seven members of Long Haochens group felt their bodies glint, feeling a pain on their back. Right at that time, Long Haochen finally returned too. Forcefully pouring spiritual energy in both his arms, heunched Demon Wiping sh with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. However, the red skeleton still didnt pay attention to him, abruptly taking arge step sideways and leaving the range of that Demon Wiping sh. The force and the range covered by Demon Wiping sh could be considered imposing, but it had a defect, and that was its attack range. Although Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light could unleash brilliant des of spiritual energy, their range was only roughly six meters and a half. And the range of that red skeletons single step easily exceeded these six meters and a half. Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove wasunched once again, but a golden cover surrounded the red skeleton once again in a sh, and relying on his illusory steps, he left no more but an afterimage, evading Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove. But what shocked Long Haochen even more was this time was that, despite that he released the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove four sessive times with almost only a split second difference between each use, that red skeleton still evaded every time with rapid illusory sidesteps. The ability of Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove only reached those afterimages every time. Following next was the performance of the red skeleton. Relying on his astounding dexterity and his powerful strength when wielding the bone de in his hand, he had even yet to make use of his shield. In merely ten seconds, everyone was sent flying sessively. But even with a powerful tool such as the Soul Sharing Shackles, these uninterrupted attacks put Long Haochens group of seven in a grieving pain. This could only be called a one-sided battle. Even Long Haochen onlysted for five seconds in front of the red skeleton. The attack aimed at his chest even sent Caier flying along with him. Sheunched a counterattack, but her nimble action only encountered the defense of that skeletons de. This red skeleton looked extremely slow in her eyes, but none of Caiers attacks was of any use. It seemed that all of her techniques were predicted by the enemy, who finally shooed her away in the air with a blow of de. Everyone was lying on the ground, benefitting from the Soul Sharing Shackles help to share the damage. It could however not ease up the pain. Everyone having received a de blow on the back, they had such a throbbing and violent pain, that it felt as if their back werent their own. The intense burning feeling even caused them to feel that they were unable to breath. However, after they all lied on the ground, the red skeleton didnt continue with his attacks, only silently shaking his head at their sight, before turning back. It was as if because of their strength, he didnt even find it worth to go on. He didnt keep pursuing and attacking, only returning to the ce where he came from, standing silently there. It appeared at that time as if the mes rising around his body were alive. The seven members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were only rejoicing at this sight. If this red skeleton really wanted to kill them, it was without a shadow of a doubt that none of them would be still living at that very instant, much less leaving this ce alive. Sima Xian, who was the very first to have been disposed of during this battle, revealed an agonized face, Boss, is this guy really only at the sixth step? Thats just too fearful. How is it that we are totally helpless against him? Feeling even more gloomy than him, Long Haochen replied with a bitter smile, I dont know either. But his spiritual energy was still in the scope of the sixth step, and it is not even so much greater than my own. But we were unable to resist his attacks back then. Could it be technique? Have you paid attention to the fact that his attacks were really smooth? Just natural and unforced, flowing smoothly and without any superfluous movement. From the start of the battle to its end, it felt as if he didnt have anypse in his pace. Chapter 306 - Martial Skills of Ancient Times (I)

Chapter 306: Martial Skills of Ancient Times (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Wang Yuanyuan nodded in response, Thats right, it should be about technique. If his strength is only at the sixth step, then we couldnt have possibly lost. We have even beaten powerhouses of the seventh step before! How could we lose against one at the sixth step? But then, could this be that he used the battle skills of the ancient times? Those that have been lost to the current times. Han Yu replied, It is highly possible. This is the only possible exnation. However, this red skeletons skills are just too powerful. Its especially the case for that ability of afterimage, that left even Captain helpless. Indeed, Long Haochen had shown all his trump cards. It was not only his Saint Spiritual Stove that had gotten countered by the red skeleton, but even Bright Rain, Hibiscus of Light turned out useless. In the same way, the Lock technique didnt manage to hit because of that afterimage technique, which yed a great role in the red skeletons fighting strength that reached the peak and wiped them outpletely. Long Haochen replied, It should be the case. As a matter of fact, who among you has heard before about those Asura Strike and Asura Thrust abilities we have learnt? Or have even seen those in the Alliances Treasure Hall? Everyone shook their head. Long Haochen continued, Then, its very likely techniques from the ancient times that we have learnt. Asura Strike and Asura Thrust were also abilities that this red skeleton possessing the spirit of a powerhouse was capable of learning, but acquiring battle skills requires a great deal of self-training. It looks that this skeleton senior will stay here for some more time. From now on, including Lin Xin and Yinger, we will all challenge this senior one after another. No more team battle formation! What? With the exception of the mute Caier, everyone looked dumbstruck at Long Haochen. Beforehand, even by joining hands, the seven of them werent a match for that red skeleton. For how many seconds would they be able tost if they went in one versus one just like Long Haochen said? Long Haochen calmly exined, Theres nothing strange with that. Do you really believe that without experiencing enough of oppression, you would still be able to break through to the sixth step with no difficulty? Just as you said, your spiritual energy had risen up too fast, and because of this, breaking through will be even more difficult. Those of you that have spiritual energy left will take turns in asking for his guidance. This red skeleton wont harm us for real, and its a teacher of a rare kind to find. Its especially the case for us close-quarters fighters: if we can learn from those natural and flowing attacks, how could our strength not gain a lot? In a duel, even opponent of one step above wouldnt be anything to fear. Han Yu nodded in approval, Captain is right. And atop of that, when we passed through the fourth trial, all the three previous ones disappeared. Then, wont the fourth and the fifth trials disappear ordingly after this? This was a total of several hundred spiritual energy gained every day for us After breaking through the sixth step, when we get to the five thousand spiritual energy like Captain, were not even sure to have the same kind of chance to keep rising up, but that doesnt mean we should renounce so easily to progressing. On the ten following days, they happily took beatings from that tyrannical red skeleton. However, the word happily could only apply to Long Haochen. After all, regardless of whether it was at the time he followed Long Xingyu for his training or was trained by Ye Hua, he had almost only experienced hellish kinds of trainings. Thus, despite being the one who looked for the red skeleton the most everyday, he was still the most firm in the group. Caier didnt whine either. She wasnt even capable of speaking, so how could she whine? As for the others, as this time of fun went on, it appeared like torment to them. The one whose situation was worst was Lin Xin, every time he was sent flying by this red skeleton, he wouldin straightforwardly, before lying on the ground and snorting continuously. However, in this training, their progress was very clear. This could naturally not reflect on their spiritual energy, but on their battle skills. When being tormented everyday by a skeleton whose battle skills were close to perfect, it was hard not to progress. They were now at least capable ofsting for a bit longer against that red skeleton. As for Lin Xin, the three seconds he couldst at the very beginning already became ten seconds, the changes appearing rather obvious to him. The one whosted the shortest was still Chen Yinger, but she was the most helpless about that. At every challenge, she gave a magical crystal for the little big McDull to eat, but right after hed be taken care of, Chen Yinger would inevitably follow next. At least for the current time, in the process that McDull crossed hands with the red skeleton, she had neverpleted the incantation for the Creature Summoning Gate, but McDulls various skills in times of battle clearly increased. Long Haochen was as before the one whosted the longest. In front of the attacks of the red skeleton, he was now capable ofsting for more than a minute. In addition, his battle skills looked more and more smooth as time went on. Ten dayster, Long Haochen and the others decided to temporarily have some time to rest after discussion, and temporarily stopped being abused. One reason for this was because they needed time to stabilize their progression, and also because the day of the opening of the Illusory Paradise was nearing. Someone could already look for them at anytime. To take advantage of thisst bit of time, Long Haochen finally took his Holy Spirit Pill, raising his spiritual energy to 6,000. Although their days of cultivation were dull and uninteresting, it was extremely stable for them. In particr, when sensing the continuous growth of their strength and with Caier who stayed continuously by his side, Long Haochen didnt feel the least lonely. It could be said that over this past year, his cultivation speed had been the fastest of his whole life, surpassing his past speed by a huge margin. _Father, Mother, wait for me! Ill be soon looking for you._ Slowly opening his eyes and finding himself inside of their training room, Long Haochen looked at the nearby Caier who was still in the midst of cultivation. Ever since they stopped going into the Tower of Eternity, Caier rarelymunicated with Long Haochen, entirely immersed in her cultivation. Long Haochen could faintly sense that she was already very near to breaking through. Haochen, are you inside? The door was lightly knocked from outside. Yes? Long Haochen agilelynded on the ground, trying as far as possible not to let out any sound that could disturb Caier, and opened the door, going out in a sh. Against his expectations, the one who came was Han Qian. Grandteacher, how is it that you came personally? Caier is still cultivating, so Id rather not have us go in. Long Haochen said with an apologetic expression. Han Qian replied with a smile, Dont worry, cultivation is the most important thing. Hey, wow, it looks that you havetely progressed again. Looking at the disciple before him, Han Qian was unable to conceal his own surprise. It looked that Long Haochen had grown up even more. At fifteen years-old, he looked now close to 1.8 meters tall. The changes on his build were still not the most obvious ones, as what changed the most clearly were his temperament and his expression. He still had that handsome appearance that girls would envy, but looked somewhat less childish, more mature and muscr, his ck hair hanging on his shoulder. If he only looked at his eyes, Han Qian would be absolutely unable to tell out that this child was only fifteen years-old. Long Haochens both eyes were still as limpid, without any impurity in his golden eyes, but his gaze was extremely steady and reserved. This looked rather closer to a middle-aged man managing to hold his spiritual energy in. Han Qian was even unable to sense what level his current cultivation reached. But he clearly sensed thatpared to the twenty days ago, his disciple had made enormous progress. _Scion of Light, he truly deserves being called Scion of Light!_ This kid was already at the sixth step, and would perhaps reach his current level of cultivation before even reaching thirty years of age. As the first Scion of Light of the Temple Alliance, he would inevitably forge a new history. In the known history of the Temple Alliance, the youngest Divine Knight reached his level at the age of thirty seven, but Long Haochen would clearly not take as long. Haochen, I came to look for you because of some changes that happened regarding the entrance to the Illusory Paradise. Ah? Long Haochen was in a sudden rm. In fact, his group had made all the preparation for entering the Illusory Paradise over the past days, so suddenly hearing of some change appearing was hard to ept for him. Han Qian calmly continued, Dont worry so much. This was a change that happened because of the number of people to be let in! This time, a total of forty-two Demon Hunt Squad had paid assistance to the Southern Mountains City, and with the exception of those Emperor grade and King grade Demon Hunt Squad, the rest were all of the Commander grade and below, with an overwhelming number of members that are also at the sixth step of cultivation. Thus, a problem arose to select the candidates for the Illusory Paradise. After all, this is an opportunity that arises only once every century, so everyone would want to go in. But the total quota of people allowed is only of ten, with more than a hundred peoplepeting for that. Thus, Im afraid that there will be some problem about giving a ce to both Caier and you. Hearing Han Qian say that, Long Haochen nodded in approval, This would indeed be very unfair to the others. Grandteacher, how has the Alliance decided to assign these ten ces? Han Qian replied, Theres nothing to be done. For the sake of fairness, it can only take the shape of apetition. (sigh) Saying that, he felt very helpless. Although he was the current representative of the Alliance, the Temple Alliance had a reputation to hold regarding its fairness, so a lot of matters could not be decided by him. Moreover, with so many of those Emperor grade Demon Hunt Squad as well as the people from the Priest Temple as witnesses, a problem would obviously arise with these two allocations scheduled in advance. Grandteacher, you dont have to worry. Well just participate in thatpetition. I am confident in my ability. Long Haochen actually turned out to be the one whoforted the other party. Han Qian smiled bitterly in response, Fool, how could it be that easy! To reach themander grade of Demon Hunt Squad, all of them crawled out from heaps of corpses. And so that you know, the limit for entering the Illusory Paradise is ten thousand. You have just reached the sixth step, but among those Commander grade Demon Hunt Squads, theres nock of youngsters at the peak of the sixth step belonging to all thosemander grade Demon Hunt Squads present. Long Haochen chuckled to that, Grandteacher, there are some trials that cannot be avoided in ones life. How could we know before trying beforehand? Are there prior requirements for participating in thispetition? Chapter 307 - Martial Skills of Ancient Times (II)

Chapter 307: Martial Skills of Ancient Times (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Han Qian shook his head, If we directly go on with apetition between the Demon Hunt Squads, since your internal spiritual energy has yet to reach 10,000, you will be able to participate. There are still five days before the opening of the Illusory Paradise, so thepetition will begin tomorrow. Because of theck of time, it is designed as a knock-outpetition. Very simple, but also very cruel. Long Haochen nodded in response, Grandteacher, Ill register with you first then. All the members of our 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad will be participating in thispetition. Even if none of us manages to end up among those ten, it will at least serve as a good training exercise. Han Qian patted his shoulder, Youre really a kid that causes others to worry. Lets do it like this then. Even if you dont end up in the top ten, your grandteacher will still look for a way to make up for you from our Temple. As they were speaking, extremely dense undtion of spiritual energy surged out from behind Long Haochens back, inside of the room. Immediately next, a surge of threatening killing intent instantly burst forth. Be it Long Haochen or Han Qian, both of them only felt their skin turn cold, filled with a chillinessing out from the depths of their bones. Master and disciple nced at each other, filled with an extreme look of surprise, and Han Qian murmured, This This is After a short time of surprise, Long Haochen was immediately in ecstasy, Its Caier! She broke through! As he said this, he immediately turned back towards the room, rushing in. Opening the door, Long Haochen found it difficulty to advance with the intense killing intent filling the room, but given the absolute feeling of trust between Caier and himself, he naturally felt no fear of being harmed by her, and still advanced without any hesitation. On the bed, Caier was seated cross-legged, both her hands ced on her knees. On her palms and her forehead, a grey luster was faintly discernible, and on her back, a pair of immense ck wings stretched out around. Right, Caiers wings were ck. In stark contrast to Long Haochens brilliant golden glistening wings, her ck wings engulfed all the surrounding light. Long Haochen and Han Qian had just gone in, but immediately felt as if those ck wings absorbed their soul. Han Qian was shocked to the extreme. Caier having now broken through the sixth step, she became truly the youngest person to ever break through the sixth step. She managed to reach the sixth step at an even younger age than Long Haochen, as she was still not even fifteen years old yet. In the midst of Han Qians time of shock, Caier slowly raised her head, opening both her eyes. Her originally brilliant grey eyes unexpectedly regained their luster, filled in a ck pressing light. When her eyes locked onto Long Haochens eyes, a calm smile was drawn on her lips, in the midst of the endless aura of death. This smile was only directed to Long Haochen; it was as if she didnt even notice Han Qians nearby presence. Seeing her moving eyes, Long Haochen was totally unable to hold back his emotions, tears gushing out madly, Caier! Caier!!! Han Qian didnt stay here any longer, discreetly moving back. With this warm scene happening between these two youngsters in the midst of the aura of death, he immediately went off to notify Ying Suifeng about the good news. Ever since Long Haochen broke through the sixth step, Ying Suifeng seemed to often talk about this subject. Looking at Caier, Long Haochen advanced towards her in the midst of an intense killing intent. Without knowing whether it was because of being stimted by Caiers wings, Long Haochens back shed in golden color, and immense golden wings came out. The whole room dazzled in gold and ck, and intense fluctuations of spiritual energy seemed to soak like spring water. With a light p, Caier stood up on the floor. _So it has already been six months! This time has passed really quickly!_ Over this period, Long Haochen could onlymunicate by writing on the palm of her hand. Looking at the change on the color of Caiers eyes, he realized that Caier had regained control over all of her senses. Abruptly taking a step forward, and without minding the aura of death and the cold surrounding Caiers body, he tightly held her in his arms, still unable to control his tears, as if he was feeling that he had failed to carry out his own duty towards her. Letting him embrace her, Caier tightly held him back, murmuring, Idiot. Long Haochen lifted up his head, ncing at her gentle eyes, Call me an idiot again, I like hearing you call me an idiot. Idiot! Caiers eyes looked somewhat blurred, as she called him another time. Immediately next, Long Haochen stuck his burning lips on her cold mouth, letting out all his warmth into her like never before. The golden and ck pairs of wings became their best fitted background. Caier was finally back, as the formidable Saint Daughter of Samsara who had finally recovered herpletebat ability. Long Haochens very own Caier being back, he finally sensed the pain in his hearting to an end. Their lips parting with each other, the two of them gasped for breath. This kiss had indeedsted too long, and Long Haochen seemed to have been released of all the pain in his heart entirely in the process. Looking at Caiers charming eyes, he felt as if he would never grow tired of watching them. Caier tenderly helped him to wipe the tears flowing on his face, looking still red from having been kissed so suddenly, Idiot, dont you see that I am all right? Holding her both hands, he replied, Its my fault. If only I had been back earlier at that time Caier shook her head, Dont keep going on with this foolish talk, many things are out of our control. At that time, I could only do that, or else, I wouldnt even have gotten the chance to see you again. Speaking of which, I should really thank you for having brought us to the Tower of Eternity. The strange thing is that my Spiritual Stove of Samsara seems to have evolved from having absorbed the energy of death inside of the Tower of Eternity, which lowered the time I lost of my four senses. Oh? Then, why havent you stayed all this time in there to cultivate? If your Spiritual Stove of Samsara evolved, who knows what effect could be produced from this? Caier replied, Except from an increase in power, there should be other kind of boosts, but I dont know about the specific details. However, I can ascertain that the death energy from the Tower of Eternity is effective in replenishing my Spiritual Stove of Samsara. The Spiritual Stove of Samsara seems to absorb the external energy through my body, among which the energy of death is the most important type. Normally, the amount of energy of death thates in contact with us is very small and it is at least not as pure as within the Tower of Eternity. For this reason, when using the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, I am affected with the spiritual stoves bacsh, which absorbs my six senses force to unleash its power. If I can frequently absorb the energy of death contained within the Tower of Eternity, this should very possibly enable to lessen the bacsh when putting the Spiritual Stove of Samsara fully to use. Greatly overjoyed, Long Haochen responded, Really? Then its very good news. Your Spiritual Stove of Samsara is indeed formidable, but its bacsh is enormous too. Over these past few months, I was worried everyday about your condition. Did you know about that? Hearing your voice again really feels great. Caier slightly smiled, Idiot, Im actually not worried about losing my six senses now that I have you to apany me by my side. Even if my six senses are lost, I know that I am not alone now, and will be strong as I wait for the day of my recovery. Long Haochen rubbed her head, What rubbish are you spouting out? Losing your six senses is just being dead. In the future, unless it is as ast resort, never use your Spiritual Stove of Samsara again. This time in the Illusory Paradise, we will definitely have to find you a better spiritual stove. Always relying on the Spiritual Stove of Samsara is just too dangerous. The aura of death in the air quietly vanished, and Caiers ck wings vanished ordingly. Softly nestling against Long Haochen, she said next, No need to worry. As long as we are together, even death is nothing to fear. Long Haochen supported her shoulder with some reluctance, cing her in a seated position, Just then, grandteacher came to look for me, telling me important things. I immediately have to gather everyone. It looks that our entrance to the Illusory Paradise will perhaps not go so smoothly Arriving at that point, his eyes let out a trace of severity. _Apetition to select the best? Thene at me._ Because it touched upon the secret of the Illusory Paradise, only the Demon Hunt Squads were informed of that situation. Thepetition for the ten entries in the Illusory Paradise would take ce in the biggest stadium in the training grounds of the Temple Alliance. This ce could of course notpare with the Great Stadium of the Alliance, but being a site of a hundred meters in diameter, it could contain a thousand people. The attractive force of the spiritual stoves was just too great. Among the forty-two Demon Hunt Squads that came out, outside of the four that were at the King grade and the three that were at the Emperor grade, there were a total of two hundred and eleven people, a hundred and fifty applied. Those that didnt apply were mostly priests or Demon Hunters of the fourth step or anything under the fifth step. Actually, all those who exceeded the fifth rank of the fifth step applied without exception. Trying out their luck, theyd believe in the slim possibility that they could possibly end up in the top ten. A number of a hundred fifty. Though it appeared that many were present, only four victorious battles were necessary to end up in the top ten when everything was taken into ount. With sufficient luck to encounter every time an opponent of the fifth step, perhaps they coulde out through this victorious. Long Haochen led hisrades to this stadium very early, since they were originally living pretty close. The day before, when Long Haochen told hisrades about the circumstances behind thispetition, everyone felt eager to give it a try. Although except Caier, they were still all at the peak of the fifth step of cultivation, the experience they had in the Tower of Eternity would finally bear its fruits here. The day before, Long Haochen specifically led Caier to the Tower of Eternity, going through the fourth and the fifth tests with her help. Having recovered her four senses besides having reached the sixth step of cultivation, she once again challenged the red skeleton. The results filled everyone with great surprise. Relying on her monstrous speed, Caiersted even longer than Long Haochen against the red skeleton. Chapter 308 - Martial Skills of Ancient Times (III)

Chapter 308: Martial Skills of Ancient Times (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales After all, she hadnt been battling against this red skeleton as often as Long Haochen did. Joining hands, Long Haochen and Caier gave it another try. Under their cooperation, they surprisingly managed to hold it for nearly five minutes against that red skeleton. Although these five minutes were filled with an intense pressure and came with a immense consumption for them, it should however not be forgotten that the two of them could recover in the Tower of Eternity. Furthermore, the greater the pressure, the better their progress would be, and that red skeleton wouldnt even finish them off. Long Haochen persevered for no less than a dozen of battles, before returning back with excruciating pain as if his body was torn into small pieces. This stadium didnt even have something like a tform, thus the leaders of the Southern Mountains Gate and the Alliance were just all seated in the front. Seeing that nearly everyone had arrived, Ling Xiao, auxiliary chief of the Priest Temple, entered into the testing ground. Distinguished Demon Hunters from Demon Hunt Squads, you all know about the matter here, so we wont say more than what is necessary before starting. I will just emphasize a point, to the Southern Mountains City, you are all saviors. Having gone through the recent battle, you became the cornerstone of our defense over the past month. I want to thank all of you on behalf of the Southern Mountains City. Ignoring that Ling Xiaos face stayed stern from beginning to end, with his status as a powerhouse of the ninth step as well as his position as auxiliary chief of the Alliance, all the high ranking Demon Hunters above themander grade bowed to him with respect. This was how majestic his bearing was. The Demon Hunters naturally would notck sincerity, collectively bowing again before Ling Xiao who was standing on stage. Ling Xiao dered in a calm voice, In the recent battle, our Southern Mountains City was almost destroyed. As the saviours of the Southern Mountains City that you are, what is themon thread that connects us? What are we? We are soldiers andrades-in-arms. The propensity for death within Demon Hunt Squads is something you know better than anyone else. This time, the spiritual stoves inside the Illusory Pce will have a fatal attraction for any of you, but dont forget that these are in the end no more but external objects. Todayspetition is designed to select the best and the most wise among you, not to stake everything in battling against your opponents. I want to warn everyone seriously that in thispetition, no one is permitted to kill each other, or to cause his opponent to be disabled. Otherwise, dont me this elder to be merciless. I already informed the Alliance that anyone that will kill his opponent will be expelled from his Demon Hunt Squad. After this promation, although he was a priest, his eyes were filled with dense coldness. The terrifying bearing of a powerhouse of the ninth step made this crowd of nearly hundred peoplepletely silent. After staying for a moment, Ling Xiao replied, Theres another rule, and its that flight is forbidden. Using the ability of flight inside of the Illusory Paradise will be impossible, thus, allpetitors are not permitted to make use of the spiritual wings to soar through the battlefield. Start drawing lots. With a mere wave of his hand, the official start of thispetition was implicated. The drawing of the lots was very simple: a wooden case was carried on stage, containing numbers, with battles designed between sessive numbers. Lots would be drawn at every round, to ensure fairness. A crowd of a total of a hundred and fifty drawing lots could be considered a magnificent sight. When Long Haochens group of seven went on, lined up next to each other, they couldnt help but think of the moment when they advanced in the Alliances Great Competition. The whole process took no less than a quarter of an hour, before the official start of thepetition. It was shockingly a Saint Knight of the eighth step that acted as the referee. Very clearly, although Ling Xiao gave proper warning before, he was extremely prudent as the Demon Hunters on stage could be called the most precious resources of the Alliance. Thus why a powerhouse of the eighth step came to act as a referee, to avoid situation of someone ending up as a cripple or dead. Long Haochens group could be considered as lucky ones in their first draw. At least, none of them drew consecutive numbers, which avoided a tragic internal strife within their own team. The first match started quickly. This was apetition between Demon Hunters, nowhere nearly the same as the Demon Hunt Competition. As expected, thepetition was extremely intense from its start, thepeting Demon Hunters being primarily powerhouses of the sixth step. Although they didnt use the flight ability, their battle was still extremely fierce. Intense bursts of spiritual energy erupted on stage, causing even be Saint Knight of the eighth step to have no choice but to release Brilliant Body, making his best preparations to intervene should the need arise. The battles progressed rapidly, and the difference in strength was as expected the decisive factor; situation with two opponent of equivalent strength encountering each other were after all pretty rare. The lowest number within the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad was actually Chen Yinger, who was thus the first of them to go on stage. 35th and 36th are called for the next match. The 36th number was Chen Yinger. Lin Xin flung back his own hair, giving Chen Yinger a look, Just concede if its no good, dont waste magical crystals. Your opponent is after all a powerhouse of the sixth step. Pooh, why would I concede? Ill be doing whatever I can. After giving him a provocative stare, Chen Yinger carried McDull in her arms, entering with him on stage. The previous battles also involved members from general grade Demon Hunt Squads, but the final victorious were almost only powerhouses of the sixth step frommander grade Demon Hunt Squads. At the moment Chen Yinger, filled with her innocent charm, entered on stage, a great part of the Demon Hunters were immediately in total shock. _Is this little girl even twenty? Hasnt she just gotten the wrong way? She should just be in a soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad._ Chen Yingers luck still being fairly good, her opponent was a water element mage, veteran from a Demon Hunt Squad, and whose strength approximated the eighth rank of the fifth step. The referee gave Chen Yinger a nce, before giving his announcement in a serious tone, I will emphasize that overly fierce behaviours are forbidden. Let the match start. These words he said were entirely directed to that water element mage, making thus clear how he didnt think highly of Chen Yinger. A battle confronting a mage to a summoner involved a distance of fifty meters separating them from the beginning. Seeing such a young girl, that water element mage was immediately beaming with smiles. Let alone him, even the mates in Long Haochens team werent optimistic for Chen Yinger. On the lounge, Yang Wenzhaos face looked currently extremely unsightly, as he muttered, What the hell is Long Haochen doing? How could he let Yinger participate in such apetition. What it she gets wounded? However after the start of the match, these people looking down on Chen Yinger were rapidly shocked. As a Demon Hunter, although that water element mage looked somewhat down on Chen Yinger, he wouldnt be careless after the start of the match. To a Demon Hunter, being careless was synonym for death, so he prudently chanted a water elemental shield spell from the beginning, before seeing the pig held in Chen Yingers arm leap up, before running in his direction. _Is that little pig a magical beast? It cannot be._ That water element mage considered himself as having seen a lot, but didnt even remember having heard or seen that kind of magical beast. The Water Elemental Shield having been rapidlypleted, a lustering blue radiance enveloped this water element mage. Pointing his staff forward, he sent out an ice arrow shooting at McDull. There was no choice but to admit that on the level of general grade Demon Hunt Squad, very few were as rich and at ease as Long Haochens group was. Thus that water element mage had in his hand a staff that was still at the Spiritual Tier. At the time ofunching an ice arrow, this mage intentionally gave Chen Yinger a nce, discovering that this young girl wasnt even chanting any incantation. This being the first time he encountered such a battle, he indeed felt at a loss. As the ice arrow was about to reach McDulls from his front, he stamped his trotters to the ground, suddenly doing a sideways movement and rolling on the ground with his plump body, before throwing himself at this mages direction. The timing McDull chose to jump was extremely good, as this was right when the ice arrow arrived in front of him. This way, even if the ice element mage wanted to control the ice arrow to redirected it on him, he wouldnt be able to. Crashing on the ground, it shattered to pieces immediately. Wah. The water element mage pointed up the staff in his hand again, immediatelyunching a spell of Ice Rain of the fourth step. This was the supplemented ability on his staff, which could be used twice a day. Ice Rain didnt make drops of ice fall, but cones of ice. Arge area of ice cones were surrounding McDulls little figure. At that time, thirty meters were still separating McDull from that water element mage. A scene that shocked all the present people happened. McDull disyed at that time a truly formidable dodging ability, curling up his body and causing his speed to vary, evading the attack on the small spaces between the ice cones. At the most dangerous times, some ice cones even swept past his back. Mages had their own basis of thinking, and to them, ranged magic with area of effects was impossible to evade. However, McDull gave at that moment a lesson to all mages. Who said spells with area of effect were unavoidable? McDull was only a third of a meter tall, having not grown in size from the beginning, and even if it was even more concentrated, the ice cones would still show some small spaces between them, or else it would just be huge chunks of ice. At the same time he dodged nimbly the attacks, he was surprisingly even advancing. The Ice Cones somewhat disturbed the line of sight of that water element mage, but when he could see clearly the little magical beast so unyieldingly evading his attacks, McDull was already almost only at a distance of ten meters from him. A sense of unease finally appeared in that ice elemental mage. _Since this pig looks so attached to close the distance towards me, he must certainly have some goal in mind._ Although he didnt feel any fluctuation of spiritual energy from McDull, being a Demon Hunter, he was able to react instantly at any time of crisis. This time came an Ice Wall, covering a diameter of three meters and erected right in front of McDull, blocking his path. Seeing the opponent being about to sh against the Ice Wall, the ice elemental mage showed his understanding and control over ice magic. In session, he instantly cast three more Ice Walls, sealing the other three directions and making a sturdy prison of ice, imprisoning McDull that was still a bit more than ten meters away. Right as the ice mage finally loosened his breath, a fear suddenly appeared to his heart. Following next, an intense bursting sound could be heard from the ice walls. An immense figure brazenly came out, and two weapons simr to spiked cones were aimed on his chest. Launching Resisting Ice Ring, the water element mage was in a panic, instantly unleashing thetter spell. But unfortunately, what he was facing couldnt possibly be blocked by a mere Resisting Ice Ring. _PopC_ The ring of ice and the elemental shield were smashed to pieces sessively, and reaching three meters of height, a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon already arrived in front of him. _RoarC_ Chapter 309 - Competition (I)

Chapter 309: Competition (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales What were Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon?!. They were powerhouses among the Berserk Demons, and their difference whenpared to the basic Berserk Demons, was that they reached the sixth step of cultivation. They were a rare type of demon, only using physical attacks to battle. The words Lin Xin used to describe Sima Xian would beparatively more suited to describe Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon, their head being totally filled with muscles. However, no matter how distinct the weaknesses of a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon could be, namely that they werent capable of long ranged attacks or magic attacks, they were in the end powerhouses of the sixth step! How could they not have some advantages? Their tyrannical build made up for the fact they didnt have any control over elements, and their powerful physical attacks would sweep everything before them. Even amongst the other demons of the sixth step, none would be willing to fight head-on against a madman such as a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon. Once it started to attack, a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon would not stop until death, and it would do so against humans as well as demons. To a human mage at whom a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon charged, seeing his malevolent face draw closer and both his spiked arms point at his neck with a cruel roar, not peeing himself or defecating unconsciously was already incredible. That water elemental mage was very scared, falling on the ground, totally nk. Chen Yinger curled her lip from afar, What a waste! If I had known, I wouldnt have used a magical crystal of the sixth step. What a waste. But before her words were spoken, her voice instantly became hurried and sharp, Eh! Dont intervene, referee, thats not a demon A Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon appearing in the headquarters of the Priest Temple, what kind of situation was that? The appearance of that Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon was just too sudden, so much that even the referee who was at the eighth step didnt spare a thought before arriving in front of the Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon in a sh, punching at him. The reaction of the Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon wasnt slow either, stamping on the ground and immediately lowering himself down. And at the same time the knights toes came in contact with the ground, this massive body was sent flying, but in this process of flying, the Demon Hunters observing the battle all saw clearly his body shrink down suddenly, and at the time it fell to the ground, it had already reverted back to its previous shape of a little pig, to which direction Chen Yinger rushed out in total rm. That was a powerhouse of the eighth step! Against that, even in a transformed state of Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon, the little plump McDull was no match. Originally, he was unsatisfied of those harsh days of training in the Tower of Eternity, being abused every day so painfully, but now, he only felt deep gratitude for the increase of his battle skills due to having been beaten up so much by the tyrannical red skeleton. Of course, only after beingpletely wounded every day that this pig learned through experience and danger. The referee was at that time really shocked. Even with his cultivation at the eighth step, it was the first time he had seen something like this. Hurriedly, he walked toward Chen Yinger, nning to ask about that. Without even letting the referee the time to open his mouth, Chen Yinger was already like a little hot pepper, What were you just doing? Without any observation, you just intervene like that? How are you going topensate if you have wounded my McDull? Do you know how important he is to me? Hes my contracted summoned beast! If you hadnt any knowledge I would understand, but havent you seen magical beast that could transform before? Could you be any more of an idiot?! Hmpf! Having lost herself in swears, Chen Yinger furiously flung back her twintails, directly heading back to the lounge. Her voice being so loud, every Demon Hunter in the lounge heard her clearly. Hoots ofughter immediately burst out. This girl was really something, for her to even dare to swear at a Saint Knight of the eighth step; that was really an exceptional sight. The referee gloomily let out the thoughts, _who asked him to transform into a demon? And I have really never seen any magical beast that could transform!_ Han Qian yelled as he covered his face, trying to resist the urge tough with great difficulty, Okay, let the tournament continue. The winner of this battle is the 36th contestant. Who was Chen Yinger? She was the granddaughter of granny Sanshui. And Sanshuis temperament even terrified Ying Suifeng and himself. Being the granddaughter to whom she taught personally, it would have been strange if she had a good temperament. After sitting down anew, Han Qian gave a nce at Long Haochens direction without batting an eyelid, thinking to himself, _Looks like thepanions by the side of this kid, Haochen, are also bing stronger._ Yang Wenzhaos mouth was wide agape,pletely nk, _How could Yinger be so strong? And was that her contracted beast? So now, shes not the same unreliable summoner as in the past anymore?_ For a moment, his mind was inplete chaos. Thepetition went on, and although the previous battle was truly a marvel, thispetition made everyone prioritize their personal benefit, fighting with their full strength, single-mindedly. Thus everyone was single-mindedly devoted to his own goals, not paying much attention to others. Furthermore, although that little pig McDulls ability to transform into a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon was incredible, the ws of a Bloodthirsty Berserk Demon were pretty obvious. This kind of demon who was also unequipped, was pretty easy to deal with with enough preparation. The second member of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad to appear on stage was Lin Xin. Somehow, it turned out that the two in the team with the weakest battle strength were the first to go on stage. Lifting his Fire Cloud Staff, Lin Xin flung his own hair elegantly, showing a smile to the nearby Li Xin before heading to the field inrge steps. Li Xin naturally came to such an importantpetition, but of course, she didnt give herself much pressure. After all, she had just recently broken through the fifth step, and although she managed to increase her spiritual energy above 3,000 by relying on the Holy Spirit Pill, it was obviously not realistic for her to expect herself to win in such apetition. Seeing Lin Xin going on stage against all expectations, Li Xin couldnt help but feel startled, and a look of anxiety appeared on her charming face. Rapidlying to the side of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, she sat near Long Haochen. Little brother, how could he participate in thepetition too? Isnt he not even capable of attacking!? Li Xin asked discreetly. Long Haochen chuckled to her, replying, Theres nothing to worry about, sis. Even if hes unable to win, he wont lose his match either. Just look at him. Lin Xins recent progress isnt small. He said that he had to cultivate harder if he wanted to deserve being with you. Peh, so even you are starting to make fun of your big sister? What is about deserving it or not Lin Xin blushed, but still couldnt help but look at Lin Xin on stage. Lin Xin had really good potential as a yielding character. In front of Li Xin, he appeared lovably honest, and even hard-working to achieve his goals. Frequently offering little gifts to Li Xin, he made her resign with his persistence, and gradually gained a certain ce in her heart. At the very beginning, Li Xin mainly sympathized because of Lin Xins miserable past, but as time passed by, she discovered that Lin Xin was actually pretty decent. Although this guy was somewhat narcissistic, his looks were still good. And furthermore, his talent in the field of alchemy was indeed enough for him to be called a genius. But more importantly, this guy was easy to bully. At this time, Lin Xin was already in the middle of the field, and his opponent was a warrior, but it was a rather thin-looking one. d in simple leather armor, he had a little battle axe in each hand. Clearly, this warrior was specialized in speed. Mage against warrior would start with a distance of thirty meters separating both parties. With a call from the referee, the match started, and right off the bat, that warriorunched a charge at Lin Xins direction. Lin Xins luck was clearly not as good as it was for Chen Yinger, his opponent being an authentic powerhouse of the sixth step. A pair of modest-sized green spiritual wings were released on his back. They werent used for flight, but pushed him forward like a green ray of light rushing towards Lin Xin. A dense red light came out instantly from Lin Xins body, and without any incantation from him, his Fire Cloud Crystal was directly inserted in the ground, and red light was released from his staff and himself. From it, the intense and rich fluctuations of spiritual energying out gave off an oppressive feeling. But no one could predict what kind of spell this guy was going to use. The warrior specialized in wind element, and had the boost from a pair of wind elemental wings, so one could well imagine the level his speed reached. Relying on his cultivation at the sixth step, he wasnt even visible to Lin Xins eyes, and with this extreme speed, just rushed vigorously towards Lin Xins. Speed and force were directly rted, thus the warrior was already prepared to respond to Lin Xins spell. His dual axes had a magic break effect, and were filled with a pretty good amount of spiritual energy. At that moment, the dual axes already became green-colored because of the concentration of spiritual energy within, and his current thought was, just which ce should he attack Lin Xin, after all this wasnt a fight to death, and he couldnt cripple the opponent. However, what astounded everyone was that Lin Xin didnt do anything as his opponent charged at him, just looking helplessly at the other party. Of course, that wind element warriors speed was extremely fast, and it took only a few blinks of an eye for him to arrive in front of Lin Xin, waving his pair of battle axes. A victorious smile was already drawn on the face of that wind element warrior. To a mage confronting a warrior, when the opponent was in close range, the match was fated to be a loss. However, his opponent wasnt careless, still storing up spiritual energy in preparation for Lin Xins possible counterattack. Just when the two parties were only at two meters from each other, Lin Xin finally showed some reaction, letting out an intense scarlet glow spreading out around him. It was Resisting Ring of Fire, a low level technique without any offensive power, its main effect was to push back the opponent, to avoid the opponents attacks. This was also one of the self-defense techniques used by fire mages. Seeing the opponent finallyunch a mere Resisting Ring of Fire after such a long time, the wind warrior finally couldnt help but let out a smile. _Trying to stop me by relying on Resisting Ring of Fire?_ Brazenly moving the battle-ax in his left hand forward, he nned on using the magic breaking effects of his battle-ax, breaking through this Resisting Ring of Fire open would be very extremely easy. _But would it really end this way?_ Chapter 310 - Competition (II)

Chapter 310: Competition (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The smile on the face of the wind warrior didntst, because he noticed to his surprise that his own battle-axes were stuck to an immense adhesive surface after breaking past the Resisting Ring of Fire, and that the powerful bacsh and shock made it impossible to advance further. Immediately afterwards, he suffered from his own speed because his advance abruptly came to a halt. The Resisting Ring of Fire shed with his rapid charge, and the wind soldier was directly sent flying backwards at an even more rapid speed than when he dashed forward, just like a rock shot by a slingshot. Although the Resisting Ring of Fire wasnt powerful, its bacsh caused a huge shock to his chest, nearly causing him to spurt out blood, as he fell into a state of dizziness for a short time. A fire skull emerged at that time, but it didnt attack the wind soldier. Instead it spiraled around him, before returning to Lin Xins Fire Cloud Crystal. The referee stopped the match at this point, awarding the victory to Lin Xin. If that Fire Curse attack had really hit the wind warrior, he would have ended up disabled for life, if not dead. It was a spell of the sixth step, and the power of magical attacks of the sixth step used by mages werent anything warriors of the sixth step couldpare with. Following Chen Yinger, Lin Xin also ended up victorious after his match. Lin Xin looked cocky after returning to the lounge, but seeing Li Xin standing next to Long Haochen, he was filled with surprise, and the expression on his face immediately eased up. No one saw it, but a surge of warmth shed at that time in the depth of his eyes. Wife, howes that you are here? Lin Xin sat nearby Li Xin without reservation and asked openly. Li Xin reacted in anger, Who are you calling your wife? Arent you the most attached to your face? Lin Xin chuckled at her, I prefer this wife over my face. You Im leaving. Saying that, Li Xin stood up and started back to the side of her 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Lin Xin hurriedly pulled her hand, Dont go, dont go. Is it okay as long as I shut up? I will be listening to everything you say. Saying that, he immediately sat upright and still, giving off the appearance of an obedient child. Seeing that ridiculous appearance, Li Xin was totally helpless against him. Seeing them, the others couldnt help but smile, and this applied even to Caier. Thepetition went on, and after a few more matches Sima Xian of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad entered the stage. All the other Demon Hunt Squads familiar with them couldnt help but ponder secretly, _Could it be that theirplete team signed up?_ Sima Xian went on stage inrge strides, but this time, the whole audience was totally shocked. Seeing his robust build, his partial armor, and the iparably huge metallic ball in his hand, everyone was unable to help but wonder, _What kind of weapon is that?_ Sima Xians opponent was a knight. Both of you, introduce your vocations. The referee ordered ording to the convention, so he could decide the distance which would separate the two parties at the beginning of the match. Knight. Priest. Mh, knight against priest, then, both parties will start at a distance of WAIT, you are saying that you are a priest? That referee looked dumbstruck at Sima Xian. Sima Xiansplexion became fairly unsightly; this was after all the headquarters of the Priest Temple! With the expression of a tiger, he asked, Is there something wrong with me being a priest? The referees face twitched involuntarily, saying in a serious tone, So as to preserve the fairness of the match, I require proof of your vocation. Please show me a proof of your identity as a priest. With a snort, Sima Xian stretched out his left hand in the air, emitting a pure ray of divine light from his body. This was an authentic skill used by priests, which people from other Temples couldnt possibly learn. Neither warriors nor knights were capable of using that particr skill. Are you really a priest? The referee asked once again. This time, it was the auxiliary chief of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao, who spoke, What are you waiting for to start the match? This youngster is a priest. Yes, Hall Master Ling! The referee replied with some hesitation. This guy simply didnt look even close to a priest? Priest versus knight, the two parties will start at a distance of fifty meters. Battle start! Sima Xian drew exactly fifty meters back, brandishing the Energetic Ball of Light in his hand. The shackles that extended ten meters long were linked to the Energetic Ball of Light with a diameter of one meter, and produced fierce howls of wind. The resulting _wuu wuu_ hissing sounds made the spectators just as perplexed as the referee. _What the hell! Is that really a priest?_ The most shocked was obviously Sima Xians opponent, who stared dumbstruck at Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light. This knight didnt even feel like he had the power to charge. His mount was a Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, a magical beast that could be considered imposing and powerful. However, when his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm started to rush towards Sima Xian, he felt as though he was being totally suppressed. Sima Xian also rushed towards his opponent inrge strides. With each of his steps the imposing swell of his muscles became more imminent The strong golden light in his body intensified until it looked as if the Energetic Ball of Light was a mini-sun, ready to unleash a dazzling glow. Lounge area. Ling Xiao was covering his own face with his hands, Is that really a priest? What a total loss of face. Who is it that educated this youngster? That wont do, I have to expel him no matter what. I have to! Having such a man stay in the Priest Temple is simply too big a disgrace for the Temple. Han Qian leisurely replied, A disgrace? All right then, Ill just be saying a few words to this youngsters a bitter, inviting him to join our Knight Temple. Anyway, the fact that he is part of Long Haochens team cannot be changed anymore. What?! Ling Xiao lowered his hands covering his face, giving Han Qian a hesitant look, Old fool, just dont mind my prior words about expelling him from the Priest Temple, that was a mere joke. Are you still wanting to ept him? Han Qian shot him a nce filled with disdain, Dont ask me. I absolutely wont tell you about the fact this kids internal spiritual energy is at eighty. _cough_ You What did you just say? Han Qian covered his own mouth, I havent said anything. When Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Sima Xian, his eyes were already totally different. Now he looked at him as if he were some kind of rare treasure. Han Qian pleasingly remarked from his side, Old Ling, you have to keep your own word! After thepetition ends, hurry up to have him expelled. Such talents are epted no matter how many they are in our Knight Temple. You see, he isnt even able to use any healing spells. Having him stay in your Temple would just make him subject to mocking. We are not afraid though, after cultivating him as it should be done, he will be a formidable Retribution Knight, and even the fact that he has such a monstrous weapon is no problem for us. Shut up! Dont even think of doing that. Ling Xiao furiously shouted, When have I even said I would expel him? Han Qian stared with wide eyes, You have just said so! Ling Xiao spoke back with a snort, Bullshit! You are just dreaming. This kid is one of ourpanions from the Priest Temple; who would do such a thing? What if he cannot heal? I can at least make him a guardian of our Temple as a Discipline Priest. Im preparing to ept him as my personal disciple after the end of thispetition. Seated on the other side of Ling Xiao, Ying Suifeng who had been silent all along suddenly let out a sigh, Old Ling, your cheeks are soon going to be as thick as the old Hans. Han Qianughed out loud, Dont worry, this man wont lower himself to his level. It was naturally on purpose that he had disclosed the information on Sima Xians internal spiritual energy. Sima Xian was after all Long Haochenspanion, and his own retainer knight, so having him gain strength would also increase Long Haochens safety. Therefore, helping as much he could wasnt bad. Sima Xians opponent was a Guardian Knight, but for him, the tragedy was that he was also an expert in strength and had just reached the sixth step recently. Thus, seeing such a bellowing Energetic Ball of Light, he could only charge. Knights after all, werent talented in ranged attacks. The result went as one would expect; when the knight encountered Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light boosted with Crush and Ripples of Light, his shield of the Spiritual Tier imbued with Divine Obstruction and Holy Filter Shield, ended up being broken. The knight himself was immediately sent flying. The reason wasnt that this knight was unable to block Sima Xians attack, but it was the difference in equipment that put him at such a disadvantage. Being sent flying like that, he covered his own chest tightly, almost spitting out blood. But more importantly, as he was slung into the air, his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm was still standing in the way of destruction. Seeing that Energetic Ball of Light about to smash his Scarlet Shelled Earthworm, the knight who loved his mount dearly immediately shouted I concede. The matches of the first round were rapidly conducted, and the seven members from Long Haochens 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad had actually been pretty lucky, having not encountered any highly experienced Demon Hunters at themander grade. They also all had passed the first round smoothly. When the first seventy matches finished, it was already noon, and Ling Xiao announced that before continuing with the second round, they would take a break for lunch. It could be considered either as lucky or unlucky, but in the afternoon, Lin Xin unexpectedly drew Sima Xian, whereas Chen Yinger drew Caier. Therefore, the more promising Sima Xian and Caier were naturally given the victory, and Long Haochen and Wang Yuanyuan, as well as Han Yu all defeated their respective opponents. The worthiest of the lot was Wang Yuanyuan, who barely won after going through bitter struggles. It was by relying on an Asura Strikeunched with her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield that she finally won with a surprise attack. Compared to the first round, the following matches were already a lot more difficult. However, even after two matches, five people from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad still remained in thepetition, and this was already more than enough. By this time, the remainingpetitors only numbered thirty-eight, and except for Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and Han Yu, they were all at the sixth step of cultivation. The third round matches would take ce on the next day, and they would clearly be a lot more intense than ever before. This time, Long Haochen encountered Wang Yuanyuan, and victory was naturally given to him, whereas Han Yu and Sima Xian dropped outpletely. Han Yu encountered a powerful summoner at the sixth step, and finally couldnt keep up against the attacks of all his powerful summons. Sima Xian had bad luck and encountered a mage at the peak of the sixth step. He didnt manage to cover the distance and get close enough to his opponent, so he finally lost. After this battle, only Long Haochen and Caier continued to advance. 1. sign of shamelessness? Chapter 311 - Competition (III)

Chapter 311: Competition (III)

The finals were held in the afternoon. A total of neen people had advanced to this round, and to get equal numbers, the contestant with the best overall performance during the previous rounds also entered the top twenty. Only, gaining the final victory wouldnt possibly be an easy task for any of the participants. Although they had lost some of their matches, the morale of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad didnt suffer much of a blow. After all they were still a general grade Demon Hunt Squad, so losing againstmander grade Demon Hunters wasnt any loss of face at all. Furthermore, these defeats were due to encountering opponents that were most suited to counter them. After having fought in these matches, they really felt great appreciation for that red skeleton. No matter whether they were warriors or mages, they had all gained the ability to gauge the tempo of a battle, and their battle techniques clearly increased. Even those veterans at themander grade were now not really above them regarding the technical aspect. Lunch time. Captain, you have to win this round no matter what! Sima Xian said, unresigned. His strengths and weaknesses were very obvious. His strength was his tyrannical attack power as a melee warrior, so much so that he wouldnt be at a disadvantage when encountering an opponent at the sixth step. But the problem was that he wasnt proficient in speed, and therefore totally helpless against mages who excelled at long ranged attacks. His absolute nemesis were mages adept at controlling the speed of their opponent. And unfortunately, it was exactly this kind of mage he had encountered in the third round. With gentleughter, Long Haochen said, Sima, dont get discouraged. A single match doesnt mean anything. Caier looked at Long Haochen, and revealed an expression close to a smile, I hope that Ill be drawing you as opponent for myst match. Long Haochen petted her hair, unconsciously encircling her tender waist. Although Caiers four senses had already returned, he had gotten ustomed to holding her, and was already unable to stop himself from touching that soft and tender waist. Naturally, he understood Caiers desire. If only a single person of the team could emerge victorious, it would be no one else but him. That was because he was the only person capable of controlling the entrance to the Tower of Eternity.As long as he won his match, he would be able to take everyone through the Illusory Shrine into the Illusory Paradise. Han Yu handed Bright Discipline to Long Haochen, Captain, is Haoyue done evolving? The Demon Hunters of the sixth step were indeed very strong, and despite Han Yus high level of cultivation and the help of his Demonic Eye at the seventh rank, he had still lost his match. Long Haochen shook his head, responding, This time, Haoyue has already remained in deep asleep for a very long time. I estimate that this evolution will give me a great surprise. Be at ease, even without him, I feel very confident. The experience of encountering the Moon Demon of the eighth step and surviving the fight was a really valuable to him. After having confronted an opponent whose spiritual energy exceeded 20,000 units, an opponent at the same level as himself would hardly give him any pressure. More importantly, he already possessed two spiritual stoves, and with the addition of that advantage, his strength was already outstanding among the other Demon Hunters at the sixth step, even without Haoyue. And never forget that, if Bright Discipline was counted in, he had a total of five pieces of equipment at the Glorious Tier. Stadium. Although the overwhelming majority of the matches was already over, everyone was still watching the finals to see who would be able to make it into the top ten. The tournament was about who would be able to enter the Illusory Paradise, and -thus the atmosphere in the stadium was extremely tense. This was especially true for the remaining twenty contestants. The ceremony for drawing lots started, and the twenty contestants received their numbers. Long Haochen and Caier gave each other a nce, they didnt encounter each other. Caier was number two and Long Haochen drew number seven. This meant that Caier would appear in the first match. The referee for the afternoon had changed. To everyones shock, the auxiliary chief of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao, personally assumed that role. The reason why Ling Xiao personally acted as referee was for the sake of intimidation. Since this was theirst match, it could be easily predicted that every Demon Hunter would go all out. Ling Xiao was in no way willing to see someone end up crippled or dead in a ce directly managed by the Priest Temple. Every Demon Hunter was part of the most valuable resources the Alliance had, and with him acting as a referee, no one would tantly disregard the rules. Also, as a priest of the ninth step, he could immediately heal a contestant, if necessary. The first battle will start now. First and secondpetitor,e on stage. Ling Xiaos calm voice resounded in every corner of the stadium. His virtual awe-inspiring presence made every Demon Hunter feel at ease. Caier rose from Long Haochens side and slowly went on stage. As before, she was still d in her veil, as she stepped forward Thepetitor who had drawn the number one was a tall built knight, who looked to be over thirty years-old. Seeing that his opponent ended up being Caier, his eyes immediately lit up in pleasure. It was not only because Caier looked really young, but also because of their vocations. That person was a Guardian Knight, and assassins were what Guardian Knights feared the least. Relying on his powerful defensive abilities and the support of his mount, he had an absolute confidence in being able to cope with this young girl. However, he wasnt careless just because of her young age. After all, that Caier had managed to advance to the finals was already a enough proof of her ability. This young girl would clearly not be easy to handle. Ling Xiaos eyes lingered on Caier for a long time: these were the finals! And he also wanted to see how much ability the girl that was chosen by Ying Suifeng to be the sessor of the Assassin Temple would have. She was in the end the Saint Daughter of Samsara! Assassin against knight, the starting distance is thirty meters. Battle start. Ling Xiao said in a tranquil voice, and a holy surge of light shed past his feet. In the next instant, he was already at the edge of the field. An ice-cold killing intent instantly burst forth from Caiers body, with resolution and strength glinting in her eyes. At the start of the match, she immediately charged like a ck bolt of lightning toward the middle-aged knight, a pair of very distinct ck wings brazenly bursting out from her back. In the instant Caiers spiritual wings were released, the whole stadium was filled with a ck haze, as if all light was absorbed by her wings. From the air, an almost material killing intent filled with coldness ascended, and all the observers clearly felt their own bodies shiver. Are those spiritual wings? How is it that they are ck? ck spiritual wings would only appear in one case, and that was when ones allotted attribute was the darkness element. However, there was almost no darkness element user in the whole Alliance!?Could this girl from the Assassin Temple be a darkness element user just like those demons? Only her opponent didnt think so. That middle-aged knight was truly shocked when Caier released her spiritual wings. They made a very strong impression, especially when he sensed the dense killing intent that locked on him, as Caiers figure became blurry in his line of sight. The ck wings pped with force and Caiers extreme speed went further up. Because of her fast speed, her body produced wizzing sounds in the air, leaving series of afterimages. The distance of thirty meters was almost instantly covered. What level did Caiers speed reach? Her opponent clearly knew the answer to this, since their starting distance had clearly been thirty meters! Still, he didnt even have the time to summon his own mount before Caier reached him. The knight was d in a heavy ck armor, with a golden shield in his left and arge golden sword in his right hand. Seeing Caier closing in on him, he shouted and stamped forward with his left foot, facing Caiers attack as he swept his shield forward, instantly casting a Holy Mantle. This Holy Mantle wasnt meant for defense, but as part of a perceptive technique to counter an assassin. An assassins greatest forte was speed. By using an omnidirectional defense like Holy Mantle, he could sense and react to her attack in the shortest time possible. As the pir of his whole team, this wasnt the first time this knight battled against an assassin. However, Caier didntunch an attack of the same kind as he expected at all. With a sh of her golden dagger, and with a light swing using her delicate body, she swept her weapon right at the edge of the shield, aiming directly at the knights chest. The knights reaction was also fast, a dragon cry instantly bursted forth from his body; Ascending Dragon Strike, a skill of the fifth step was erupting. However, his body didnt move ordingly to Ascending Dragon Strikes ssic pattern. Only his body was surrounded by golden light, while a golden ray of spiritual energy formed a wall of dragon scales in her path, instantly, spreading forward to block Caiers attack. Simultaneously, the sword in his right hand released a Shining Sunlight Strike. High level powerhouses didnt have to use only high tier skills. Very often, lower tier skills would be a lot more useful than high tier ones. This was because the lower tier skills could be used with a lower consumption of spiritual energy, and at a faster activation time. With a light sound of?ding?, Caiers dark golden dagger hit the knights armor. Immediately afterwards, her body bounced back again, using the force of her own attack to propel her away. The knight wasntcent, andunched a Lightning Thrust carrying Shining Sunlight Strike with a wave of his heavy sword. A fantastic scene appeared, and golden light shed all around, as each of the blowsing from Lightning Thrust seemed to glow with the force of a miniaturized golden sun. This was abination of Shining Sunlight Strike and Lightning Thrust. The support from the speed of Lightning Thrust greatly improved the uracy of Shining Sunlight Strike, though it diminished its power to some extent. But since he was facing an assassin, the defensive power of his opponent wasnt a big deal. It seemed as if the Guardian Knight was holding the upper-hand overall, but in reality, only he knew that he had already suffered a loss. This knight had originally believed that his own Ascending Dragon Strikebined with his battle skills would surely enable him to block Caiersst attack. But in truth, Caiers attack wasnt only fast but also extremely crafty. Just like a vipers tongue, it made its way into the small cracks in his defense, and the golden dagger stabbed at his heavy armor mercilessly. His heavy armor wasnt supplemented by any ability, but was a piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier, with its strength resulting from its material. Its defensive power in itself was already astonishing with both its hardness and toughness far exceeding ordinary metal. However, Caier graceful attack vanquished this defense, shrinking his courage. Chapter 312 - Perfect Kill

Chapter 312: Perfect Kill

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Caiers attack could indeed not pierce through the middle-aged knights armor, but it only failed by a very small margin. The middle-aged knight got to clearly sense a cold sensation of great danger and deathly stillness. If he hadnt immediately poured his spiritual energy into his energy channels, this would have directly affected his fighting ability. Caiers presence just gave him too great a pressure: this was the first time he had ever gotten to sense such a material killing intent from an assassin. Thus, he immediately used the technique he was the most proficient at using. Facing the Lightning Thrust in the shape of miniaturized suns, Caier didnt draw back. Her figure appeared close to a strand of green smoke. It seemed as if her body was weightlessly fluttering through the attacks from the Lightning Thrust. But in spite of how swift Lightning Thrust was, it was unable to reach her body. Seeing her passing through the gaps, anyone remembering the little pig McDulls performance in the first round could notice that the way Caier dodged, was very simr to how the pigs evasion of the rain of ice. The only difference was that Caiers movements were even more graceful and fast-paced. The middle-aged knight even felt as though he was in front of a dancing butterfly. When Caiers body appeared in front of him again, he learned that his Shining Sunlight Lightning Thrust had totally missed the target. Raising his Holy Filter Shield and parrying with the recoil of his shields power, he unleashed loads of spiritual energy. Pouring it into his Glorious Tier shield, heunched its additional ability which multiplied the efficiency of his Holy Filter Shield by three, forming a perfect protection in front of him. However, right at that time, Caiers figure seamlessly disappearedpletely. It was Invisibility. Invisibility was one of the most important abilities for an assassin at the sixth step, and Caier, having just broken through to the sixth step, naturally hadnt yet had the time to train in it in any way. Although she possessed the Inheritance Ring from her grandpa, she still needed time of training before using a new technique. This time, the invisibility originated from the additional effect of her ne. With a feeling of cold fright, an intense stab of pain shed through his back. The middle-aged knight instantly turned around, trying to respond to the attack, but it was already toote. While issuing every single blow, Caiers figure appeared, only to vanish until her next attack. Her movement was just like an artistic dance, and under the impetus of her spiritual wings, a tempest of attacks surged unceasingly, producing ear-piercing metallic sounds. The supplementary ability Pration of the golden dagger was really effectful, and although the middle-aged knight was already defending with all his might, he waspletely incapable of resisting Caiers demonic performance. From beginning to end, he didnt even have the chance to summon his mount. Enough, stop this fight. Ling Xiaos call was timely heard. With a mere sh, Caier was already ten meters apart from the knight, and the dagger in her hand disappeared ordingly. Her eyes returned to their normal state, and the killing intent abated ordingly. The middle-aged knight looked like a drunk man. He swayed and staggered, barely standing upright. With a golden sh of light, Ling Xiao appeared between the two of them, looking at the middle-aged knight, She had the chance of killing you straight on at least seven asions. This battle is your loss. The knight replied after taking a deep breath, She How could she be that fast? His own spiritual energy had reached more than 7,500 units, but in front of Caiers attacks, he felt totally helpless. At the very beginning of the battle, he could still follow Caiers movements, but as time went by, he was only able to see shadows revolving around him. Ling Xiao calmly exined, Young man, you didnt lose unjustly. Dont you see that your opponent hasnt used a single powerful offensive ability ever since the beginning? As an assassin of the sixth step, do you really think shescking these sort of abilities. The knight gasped in reaction to this. Still, he stood straight and gave Caier a knight salute, before leaving sadly. With this, Caier became the first person to be qualified to enter the Illusory Shrine. Ling Xiao looked at Caier, his eyes beaming with an extraordinary splendor. He clearly understood that Caier didnt win based on her abilities or her cultivation, but due to her technique. In her offensive mode, Caier was like running water, flowing uninterruptedly andunching torrents of mercurial surges effectively causing the opponent to be unable to defend. Given how sharp her attacks were, even a defensive ability protecting ones whole body wouldnt havested for long. This was truly as expected from the Saint Daughter of Samsara. The match ended, and after two more bouts Long Haochen entered the stage. Beholding the nearby Caier, Long Haochen slowly got up. Caiers understanding in battle truly caused him to sigh in admiration. Her mercurial torrential attacks were acquired from her battles against the red skeleton, and she had even changed the original technique to suit her needs. While teaching an ability from teacher to disciple, the taught ability would always undergo a certain variation. This variation resulted from ones understanding and predispositions. As for those battle skills from ancient times, Long Haochen and Caier were exactly the ones who understood them the best. Long Haochens opponent was a female summoner, seemingly above thirty years in age. Seeing Long Haochen go on stage, Ling Xiaos eyes immediately lit up, and on the other side, Han Qian also sat up straight. Caiers performance could already be called nothing but breathtaking, but what about Long Haochen? The female summoner had rather average looks, but seeing that her opponent was the handsome young knight from the battle, her eyes immediately lit up. With a smile, she said, Little boy, please be lenient with me. Long Haochen ced his right first on his left chest, giving a standard knight salute, Please let me learn from you. A match involving a summoner and a knight would start with a distance of fifty meters. Battle start. Although the female summoner had a smile on her face, she didnt show the slightest signs of restraint. Raising the light blue long staff in her hand, she chanted verses of incantations. The crystall ball on her staff radiated light, and a silver-colored hexagon swiftly arose in front of her. _Houu_ , With a roar, a snow white leopard appeared in front of her in a lurking position. The female summoner mounted it, still looking fixedly in Long Haochens direction. She was waiting to see what mount he would summon. However, to her surprise, Long Haochen didnt summon his mount, but only charged at her inrge strides. _Not summoning your mount?_ The female summoners eyes shed with surprise, before the white leopard charged swiftly. The white leopard moved at an extremely fast speed. He abruptly dashed, just like a white bolt of lightning, apanied with a rhythmic chant from the female summoner. Seeing the speed of that white leopard, Long Haochen didnt keep charging. He understood clearly that his own charging speed couldnt keep up with the opponent, and thus simply stopped. As he gazed silently at that girl, the Light Elemental Fairy Yating appeared above his shoulder, causing silent astonishment for all the observing Demon Hunters. After two evolutions, Yating was far from her original form as Elemental Fairy. Floating above Long Haochens shoulder, she pped her four wings while giving off a very mighty feeling. The female summoners second summoning spell waspleted, and with a low growl, an immense ming bear came out of the summoning array. Without hesitation, it charged straight at Long Haochen. A Raging Inferno Bear was a magical beast of the sixth rank, specialized in strength. Although generally magical beasts of the sixth rank were only equivalent to human vocations of the fifth step, this beasts strength exceeded the full power of a warrior at the sixth step. After summoning the Raging Inferno Bear, the female summoner clearly loosened her breath and dismounted her white leopard. With the addition of the Raging Inferno Bear, she at least wouldnt have to fear being defeated one-sidedly in a surprise attack by Long Haochen. Long Haochen didnt move by a single jot from his original ce. With Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his right and Bright Discipline in his left hand, he calmly looked at the charging Raging Inferno Bear. The Raging Inferno Bear was over three meters tall. Charging forward with his set of immense paws at full speed, he was about to reach Long Haochen. He was truly worthy of being called the most powerful magical beast at the sixth rank, producing a sonic boom as his paws passed through the air. Right at that instant, Long Haochen crouched down slightly, stamping the ground with his left foot. Swiftly aiming to the right side, he leaped as dexterously as a leopard. His next movement didnt appear very fast, but still enabled him to escape the attack from the Raging Inferno Bears paws by a hairs breadth. Because of his fast speed, the Raging Inferno Bears attacks were all the more berserk. With a _bang_ , the bear paws ruthlessly crashed into the ground, right at the moment, Long Haochen arrived at his side. No one saw clearly when it happened, but Long Haochens Bright Discipline was now aimed backwards, and before even giving the Raging Inferno Bear the opportunity to stand up, Bright Discipline ruthlessly pierced him from the lower back. Meanwhile, Long Haochen used his wrist holding the sword as a springboard and jumped as Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, glowed in glorious gold light. That radiance waspletely concentrated in the upper part of the sword, lightly sweeping down on the Raging Inferno Bears neck with a great dexterity. Because the Raging Inferno Bear was pierced by Bright Discipline in his lower back, the violent pain caused him to raise his head, moving his neck in a reflex. Next, a scream of rage followed and tore off abruptly as his throat was cut. Bouncing with his toes on the back of the Raging Inferno Bear, Long Haochennded five meters away, and only at this moment, the Raging Inferno Bears massive body fell loudly to the ground, its immense head rolling away. At that instant, the whole stadium was in total silence, and everyone looked with dumbstruck expressions at Long Haochen. If Caiers previous attacks could be said to be totally indiscernible because of their speed, right now, Long Haochens attacks gave them them great shock. Without wasting the slightest movement, hebined each movement from beginning to end with perfect fluidity, until thest one that killed off a magical beast with a mere single blow. That killing speed was even faster than the time needed by the female summoner to activate the summoning spell for this bear. To describe the execution of the attack, the only word that could be used was perfect. If Caiers attack could be said to be as swift as a mercurious torrent, then Long Haochens attack was just unstoppable like a moving cloud. His technique showed how astonishing the level of Long Haochens understanding of the ancient battle techniques was. His understanding of the red skeletons patterns was way above Caiers. The reason wasnt that Caiers understanding was worse than his, but because the red skeletons battle pattern was closer to a knights than an assassins. As for thisst blow, it just used apressed version of Shining Sunlight Strike poured into Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which was done in a way he also learnt from that red skeleton. Otherwise, the Raging Inferno Bears tough flesh wouldnt have been so easily cut, even with the help of Ripples of Light. Just admit defeat. Long Haochen said in the direction of that female summoner who didnt manage toplete her next summoning spell because of the shocking scene. How could it end like this? The female summoner gazed at Long Haochen with dazed eyes, her look filled with disbelief. The Raging Inferno Bear was her most frequent summon, so she understood his strength the best. However, it onlysted for two seconds against this young knight. In other words, it took Long Haochen only two seconds to kill it. This far surpassed the female summonersprehension. Since when were knights so overwhelming in terms of battle skills? And furthermore, she didnt even see Long Haochen use any ability. No, I will absolutely not admit defeat. Even if I cannot win against you, you cannot catch me either so it will at most end as a draw., the female summoner dered stubbornly. Long Haochen sighed to himself, could he really not catch her? If this had been before he reached the sixth step, this female summoner would probably have been right, but now A gaudy glowing light radiated from Long Haochens back and illuminated the surroundings as it spread. Following next, with one p of his spiritual wings, Long Haochen was propelled like a bolt of lightning in the direction of the female summoner. Since Caier could elerate with the help of her spiritual wings, how could Long Haochen not be able to do the same? However, that female summoner was indeed obstinate. Having seemingly anticipated that Long Haochen would use the help of his spiritual wings to elerate, she immediately unfolded her own pair of pure white spiritual wings at the same time his wings appeared. She pped them to help her white panther elerate even further, as he lept to the side. However, she never expected that Long Haochen wouldnt necessarily rush towards her from the front. As an intense glow of white rushed forth in a sh, the female summoner felt a massive pulling force suddenly aimed at her. The pull prevented her from staying seated on the white leopard. With a cry of surprise, her body flew to the opposite direction, only to be weed by Long Haochens two swords. The range of the Saint Spiritual Stoves pulling ability had erged to fifty meters with the Saint Spiritual Stoves second evolution. If it was used in the wilderness, perhaps the female summoner could havested for a bit longer, but this was a circr stadium, making it extremely easy for Long Haochen to approach her up to fifty meters. The two swords pounded her shoulders, dragging her robe. With a simple movement Long Haochen brought the female summoner to a sudden stop. Apologies, its my win. The female summoner red at Long Haochen in extreme anger, but in the depths of her eyes appeared some traces of fear. _Is this young knight really just at the sixth step? Isnt he just way too strong?_ In fact, the spiritual energy of that female summoner had already reached 8,000 units, but she didnt have the time to bring out her most powerful summon before being defeated. Long Haochen naturally couldnt guess what she was thinking. In his thoughts, the most dominant thought revolved around the Illusory Paradise. Grasping the swords in his hands, Long Haochen looked in the direction of hisrades, silently rejoicing, Illusory Paradise, I aming. Chapter 313 - Illusory Shrine (I)

Chapter 313: Illusory Shrine (I)

Over the past month, the Southern Mountains City had regained part of its vigor, but the casualties were still in everyones mind. Not long before, this had after all been the location of a devastating battle. Currently, the defenses of Southern Mountains City were obviously astonishing, after all, many elites were residing inside the city. In total, there were the Saint Knight Regiment from the Knight Temple, three Emperor grade Demon Hunt Squads, and four King grade Demon Hunt Squads, as well as hundreds of powerhouses of the Six Great Temples, all guarding the borders of the Southern Mountains City. Over the past month, the second batch of reinforcements had already arrived in the Southern Mountains City. Even if the demons attacked once more, they were prepared to respond in kind. Half of the destroyed Magic Cannons had already been repaired whereas the heavily damaged ones would be directly reced with new ones. But of course, this required time. The auxiliary master of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao, and the auxiliary master of the Knight Temple, Han Qian, were standing in the middle of the ranks, scrutinizing the horizon. At their backs were ten youths d in martial attire, and among them, Long Haochen and Caier. Thepetition had already ended, and Long Haochen and Caier both obtained the right to enter the Illusory Paradise with the performances they showed. Now that the awaited day had arrived, they were about to explore that mysterious ce. They are here, Han Qian said in low voice. From afar, a formless oppressive feeling slowly emerged. Upon closing the distance, everyone saw a heap of ck clouds rapidly heading in their direction. Gazing into the distance, Long Haochen couldnt help but shiver. This wasnt any kind of ck clouds! Those were ck Dragons, personal guard of the Demon God Emperor!? And they werent low in quantity! The ck dragons approached gradually, descending slowly before reaching the ground, at a distance of a thousand meters from the forces of the Temple Alliance. Long Haochen counted them, learning to his surprise that there were three ck Dragons, among which the tallest reached a size of forty meters. On their backs they carried dozens of other demons. To be qualified to ride on the ck Dragons, they could obviously not be ordinary demons. After the three ck Dragonsnded on the ground, a strong aura of darkness assaulted everyones senses. The ck haze hiding them from view rapidly shrank as they shrank to the shape of robust humans, heading in the direction of the Temple Alliances forces. Approaching the vanguard was a tall, charming and imposing middle-aged man. Before transforming, he had also been the the most imposing ck Dragon of the three. The most extraordinary thing was that the two by his side werent part of the ck Dragons imperial guard, but two purple-haired and purple-eyed extremely handsome middle-aged men. Against all expectations, Long Haochen had already seen these two before. It shocked him even more to find out that they were two of the four most imposing demons he saw back then in the Moon Pce. They were the right-arms of the Moon Demon God, that could be said to be like one among ten thousand in the Moon Demon n. Behind these three came the other two members of the imperial ck Dragon guard, and Moon Demon n powerhouses, as well as a dozen orange-haired and orange-eyed people, who looked like humans on the outside, but radiated an ephemeral feeling. These were people from the Star Demon n, and looking at them, Long Haochen could guess what their identities were. The Star Demon God was the great prophet of the Demons, and his nsmen were also the best mages among demons. They were among the rarely-seen kind of dual-types; being both, magician and warrior, but because of this, their magic was even more powerful. No one had expected that for the exploration of the Illusory Paradise, the top three demon races would all dispatch powerhouses. And seeing such an army, it could easily be said that they would certainly have a good chance to besiege the Southern Mountains Gate. Among these demon powerhouses were ten youthful demons, that belonged to diverse races. Because they were still far away, and blocked from view by the demons in front of them, they were still unidentifiable. Very quickly, these demon powerhouses arrived in front of the Temple Alliances troops. The sturdy man that looked to be the leader of the ck Dragon forces dered, I am the leader of the imperial ck Dragon guard controlled by the Demon God Emperor, Huang Shuo. Leader of your group,e out to talk. With a snort, Ling Xiao was the one to reply, Auxiliary Hall Master of the Priest Temple Ling Xiao. Wow, none of your Demon Gods came today, but only theirckeys? Despite the formidable power of the enemy force, how could he put himself in a disadvantageous position in his function as a representative of the Six Great Temples. Thats right, this time, not a single Demon God came, however, these demon powerhouses strength was mostlyparable with that of Demon Gods in the second half of the rankings. In fact, more than a tenth of the Demon God Emperors imperial ck Dragon guard hade today! That was the absolute power of the Demon God Emperor. The leader of the imperial ck Dragon guard calmly replied, Theres no meaning in trying to overwhelm your side with an overkill of strength only to show off. ording to the agreement, lets do things properly. His Majesty, being so magnanimous, has agreed to your offer. Now it should be your turn toply. Ling Xiao didnt stop being on alert just because of his counterparts frankness. On the opposite, he felt shivers run down his spine.?With the leader of the imperial ck Dragon forces being so calm and steady, he will definitely not be easy to handle. Come with us. Right after saying that, Ling Xiao waved his hand. Immediately, a few enormous green creatures approached unhurriedly from the side, stamping the ground with their massive weight. These were Green Pengs, magical beasts of the seventh rank. Although their defensive and offensive abilities were not that strong, they had a formidable build, even exceeding those ck Dragons of the imperial army in size. They were experts in long-distance flight and carrying weight, and only the Priest Temple raised them, since after all, priests were rather weak physically, and unable to travel on mounts for long distances. A total of ten Green Pengs approached, crawling on the ground. Led by Ling Xiao, the human powerhouses mounted the Green Pengs, and headed north. The imperial ck Dragon guards changed back to their dragon form. After their powerhouses mounted them, they followed closely behind, maintaining a distance of approximately one kilometer from the Green Pengs. Among the ten people dispatched by the Alliance there was, aside from Caier, yet another acquaintance of Long Haochen. The captain of the 8th general grade Demon Hunt Squad, Zhang Fangfang, had also managed to win an entry permission to the Illusionary Paradise. He was surprisingly at the peak of the sixth step and had managed toe out victorious after his past hardships. At that moment, Long Haochen wasnt calm at all. While Ling Xiao and Huang Shuo were conversing, he had spotted two familiar faces, and was sure that the other party had also seen him. Those were Yue Ye and Leng Xiao. The two of them actually participated in this times operation, and from what Long Haochen knew about them, he was absolutely sure that they were going to enter the Illusory Pce with him. Long Haochen knew about Yue Yes identity, and also had some guesses about Leng Xiao. He was just surprised because he didnt expect that Leng Xiao too would have such a high position among the demons. Leng Xiao was without a doubt an enemy, so her life or death wouldnt matter in any way, but Yue Ye was their coborator. It could be said that if not for Yue Yes help, they would have suffered great hardships back in the Deste Hissing Cavern, and very possibly, most of their squad would have been wiped out. Especially during their return trip, it was because of Yue Yes help that everything had gone smoothly and that they had returned alive. Having such a coborator among the demons was undoubtedly a good thing for the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, and they would have many more opportunities to benefit from it in the future. The insides of the Illusory Paradise werent as wonderful as its name inferred. The day before, Ling Xiao had extremely seriously shared very detailed information regarding the Illusory Paradise to all the participants of the operation. This key information had been gained by the loss of countless human lives. Caier said in a low voice, Haochen, dont worry. We will give her some help when the timees and she will be fine. Hmh? Long Haochen gave Caier a surprised look. Caier calmly continued, She carries the seal from the Dagger of Samsara unleashed by my Spiritual Stove of Samsara inside of her body, so her life or death is within my grasp. Theres no need to fear any of her tricks. To our future course of actions, this woman will be important, so we cannot let her die here. Caiers words helped Long Haochen to strengthen his resolve. In response, he nodded to her. The Illusory Shrine was located sixty kilometers to the north of the Southern Mountains City, inside of a forest. Be it the Green Pengs or the ck Dragons, this was a distance that only took a few blinks of an eye to cover. From a distance, arge area of dense forest could entirely be seen in their line of sight. Looking down at the vegetation of the forest from the sky, they could all sense therge scale that this forest had reached. This could have only been aplished through several thousand years of growth. Under Ling Xiaos indications, the Green Pengs slowlynded outside of the forest. As everyone sessively dismounted the Green Pengs, the demons did the same. Apanied by the two Devil Kings from the Moon Demon n, Huang Shuo asked in a low voice, Why are we not directly entering by flight? Leng Xiao replied with a snort, You can try if you want. Thisnd belongs to the scope of the Illusory Shrine, which is the shrine the goddess of nature left. And this forest is sheltered by this same goddess of nature. You want to directly enter by flight? Its too early for you, but your Demon God Emperor should be able to. Huang Shuo calmly replied, Lets just go then. The two of them led their respective groups, advancing inside the forest. When they entered the forest, the atmosphere instantly changed, but it was not the impression of feeling fresh and clean air. A sweet insipid scent prated into their hearts, as if cleaning their spirit, and this hard to describe feeling of serenity caused everyone to feel exceptionally cozy. The sounds of the birds and insects was extremely distinct, and the water, earth and light elemental fluctuations were extremely strong. Long Haochen had the strongest impression from that. When he took his first step into the forest, he immediately had a feeling of warmth, as if heading back home. It was as if everything there was beautiful, and had a feeling of intimacy for him. Every de of grass and every tree was smiling to him, and the light element surrounded him softly. Water and earth elemental particles were also spiralling around him, moistening his body. With such a splendid feeling, Long Haochen felt that his spirit was cleansed over and over again, as all his negative feelings and worries faded away peacefully. Indistinctly, ayer of mildly transparent light covered his skin. It was as if the call of nature made him feel as light as feather. Chapter 314 - Illusory Shrine (II)

Chapter 314: Illusory Shrine (II)

Being near him, Caier immediately felt the changes on Long Haochens body. She also had a simr reaction, but it was nowhere as intense as Long Haochens. After all, he was the Scion of Light, and since the growth of vegetation was intricately linked to light, the call of nature didnt manifest only through sensation for him, but through real magic effects. It was one of the gentlest forms of existing magic, and able to provide an enormous amplification to his elemental affinity, while also weakening him to some extent. The current Long Haochen was just like Caier at the time she had first entered the Tower of Eternity. Right at this moment, his soul was not only filled with insights of understanding, but just flooded with warmth. This was a total submersion. It was as if his body and even his spiritual energy were purified by the call of nature. And all the impurities were cleansed from within,pletely disappearing. Inparison, the demons condition wasnt good. All of their brows were furrowed, and their bodies were emitting a ck gas from while they were trying to resist the natural energy from their surroundings. If not for Huang Shuos instructions, they would already haveshed out, trying to destroy the surrounding vegetation. The nature was full of the worlds vitality, whereas darkness was full of shadows and coldness, so an ipatibility between these two entities was unavoidable. Huang Shuo said to Ling Xiao, Walk a bit faster if you can. My nsmen and me dont like this ce. If it takes too long, I wont be able to guarantee that I can control them long enough. Ling Xiao gave the calm reply, Just give it a try then. Although our cooperation is only temporary, we wont resort to any tricks since you fulfilled your promise. I will just repeat once again that this is the residence of the goddess of nature. It wont be a breach of our agreement if you damage the environment here, and the Illusory Shrine forbids you entry. Huang Shuo wrinkled his brows, but quickly returned to normal. Nodding calmly, he didnt say anything more. In the forest, the road was rugged and hard to pass, but this didnt affect the progress of these powerhouses. Before departing, Ling Xiao had repeatedly warned the forces of the Alliance that they mustnt damage the nts here no matter what, or it would be regarded as hostility against the Illusory Forest. As they advanced towards the heart of the forest, the aura of nature grew stronger. If these were ordinary demons, they would perhaps not have been able to resist acting against the vegetation, but since there were powerhouses of the ninth step among them, they naturally had their own ways to deal with the situation. At least for the time being, no problem had emerged on this aspect. Ling Xiao didnt n on doing anything inside the Illusory Forest, honoring the deal between the two parties. Although demons and humans were sworn enemies, during their long history, there had been some particr circumstances when they came to make deals or transactions, and at least until now, there hadnt been yet a day when either of the sides did not abide by theirmitments, or else these kinds of deals would probably stop being epted. Thus, both the human and the demon side had a minimum set of rules they had to adhere to. More importantly, the situation in the Illusory Paradise wasnt so peaceful either, and Ling Xiao didnt believe that they could handle the demons assigned to this operation. Therefore, there was no problem about letting them enter? More than one hour after they entered the forest, thendscape suddenly became open and clear, and the dense part of woods turned into arge area of shrubs. The instant their line of sight became so wide, even the demons couldnt help but let out repeated gasps. Thats right, this ce was just too beautiful. This was an ocean of vegetations, which may even be called an ocean of flowers. As far as the eye could see, only shrubs, roughly one meter high, seem to upy the area in a radius of a hundred square kilometers. On top of these shrubs grew various kind of flowers, each one more beautiful than the one next to it, while each of them was exceptionally enchanting. At every step they took, a different kind of smell could be perceived. In addition, some mist had formed in the air, making the sunshine of this day look a lot less dazzling. Hazy and soft lusters undted in this world of flowers. It was truly worthy of being described as Illusory. Inside of this ocean of flowers extended a smallke. It wasntrge in size, however over the approximative two hundred meters diameter it extended, the water essence was even richer and the aura of life gently spread outwards, from it. Ling Xiao stopped walking, looking at the nearbyke, We have arrived, this is precisely the ce. Huang Shuo looked at him with some hesitation, Where is the Illusory Shrine? Ling Xiao replied, Its right inside theke. What? Huang Shuo replied, Dont tell me that well have to dive underwater? Contrarily to what one may expect, their ck Dragon race didnt have any reluctance toward water, and could even drago-form inside of water. Ling Xiao replied with some disdain, Diving underwater is indeed a way to ess the Illusory Shrine. You can try it if you want, but do you think it would be so simple to ess a ce that only opens once every hundred years? If this was only about diving underwater, why would we even have to wait hundred years? Huang Shuo asked with some doubt, Whats there in this water? Is it a seal? Ling Xiao responded, Why should I tell you withoutpensation? As he said this, he extended his right hand towards Huang Shuo. Some changes appeared on Huang Shuos unresigned face, but still, he took something out of a storage and ced it in Ling Xiaos hand. Looking at the object, Ling Xiaos ordinarily strict face immediately revealed a rare smile, followed with the calm words, All good, let me tell you. In the water of thiske exists an almighty antique entity. From the records we have, this was the guardian of the goddess of nature back in the past. It lived here for at least several thousands of years. If you are not afraid of death, you can dive underwater and look for yourself at the strength of this almighty entity over here. Huang Shuo revealed surprise, A magical beast from the antique times? Do you know to what race it belongs to? Ling Xiao extended his hand yet another time, and although the nearby Han Qian raised his head, the former didnt manage to conceal the smile on his face. Huang Shuo dered in anger, Dont be excessive. Ling Xiao revealed an unexpectedly innocent look, You can also stop asking, you know? Resisting the urge to show his fury, Huang Shuo took out another piece of the same thing as before, cing it nn Ling Xiaos hand, Speak. Ling Xiaos facial expression changed slowly, muttering silently but resolutely, Telling you isnt much; in thiske resides a Fairy Dragon. Huang Shuo let out a ragged breath, his originally furious face returning to normal. With a nod he said, Thank you. Right at that moment Ling Xiao felt something abnormal,?How could this fellow so easily hand over two pieces of Dragon Ointment, just to exchange it for these two pieces of information? From his appearance, it seems as if he didnt suffer any loss. Could there be a problem about the fact that I gave him that information??He couldnt help but feel some regret deep inside, but since everything was already said and done, it is already toote for regret. Huang Shuo said, Since a Fairy Dragon resides in theke, how should we enter? Ling Xiao replied, In at most one day, the Illusory Shrine will open anew. At that time, a passage to the shore will be formed. We will just have to pass through it to enter the Illusory Paradise. With a thoughtful look, Huang Shuo responded, Lets just wait and see. Saying that, he led the group of demon powerhouses to sit nearby. When they arrived together at thiskeside housing the Illusory Shrine, the aura of nature had started to corrode them gradually. Hundreds of buildings started to surround the ce, giving rise to a very peaceful scene. The Temple Alliances forces did the same: everyone sat in session, waiting for the opening of the Illusory Shrine. Long Haochen inadvertently looked in the direction of the demons, happening to meet with the charismatic Yue Yes eyes. He also met Leng Xiaos gaze. However, the two of these girls gave himpletely different looks. Yue Ye was beaming with a smile, filled with gentleness and warmth, just as if she was looking at her lover. But Leng Xiao had a very fierce look, as if her eyes were going to pierce Long Haochen. Yue Yes expression suddenly changed. She turned her head instantly, because she felt Caiers gaze on her. Leng Xiao however was looking at Long Haochen and Caier without any fear, even showing her own clenched fist. Seated in front of Yue Ye and Ling Xiao was a youth, who looked to be the leader of the demon group heading into the Illusory Paradise. With a tall build, he looked about twenty in appearance, and the most peculiar thing about him was that he not only had ck hair but also ck eyes. He calmly sat there, cross-legged and very serene, as if the aura surrounding his body was nonexistent. Long Haochens look was very naturally attracted by this ck-haired ck-eyed youth, feeling an intense threat from the counterparts tranquil state. That youth seemed to have felt Long Haochens attentive watch, because he slowly turned his head. At the split second their gazes met, all Long Haochen saw was nothingness, while the ck-haired youth saw only purity. However, at the first time they looked at each other, they unexpectedly didnt have any hostility towards each other, as if they werent natural enemies. This ck-haired ck-eyed youth looked extremely handsome, and seeing him, Long Haochen seemed to have a familiar feeling of dj vu, just as if he had seen him before in some ce. The look of that youth suddenly became cold, and he emitted a sharp murderous intent. However, Long Haochen could feel that this killing intent was forcefully set free, and didnt contain any actual desire to kill. Whats the matter with him? Could it be that I have seen him before??However, Long Haochen felt very confident toward his own memory, and didnt remember having seen this youth ever before. Turning his head away, and not looking at his counterpart anymore, Long Haochen slowly closed his eyes, and let himself be immersed in this ce filled with nature. While the others felt the aura of nature weaken here, it was exactly the opposite for Long Haochen. He discovered that although the aura of nature seemed weaker close to theke, it was extremely pure. Thus it gave one the feeling of being weakened by it. This was because the pure aura of nature rejected humans in general. As if fearing to be soiled by their impurity, it was unwilling to approach them. The purest aura of nature flowed through Long Haochens body, purifying it while providing moisture. A fantastic feeling of understanding started to emerge from this, and indistinctly, Long Haochen felt himself grabbing on to something. Gradually, his heart became more and more tranquil. in the good meaning, as this character also means dream in chinese Chapter 315 - Illusory Shrine (III)

Chapter 315: Illusory Shrine (III)

Waiting without doing anything was unlike Long Haochen. In his state of realization, his body seemed to have be one with nature, just like one of the nts here, and like a piece of dirt or an expanse of clear water. Seated near him, Caier felt that if she didnt have eyes to look at him, it would feel just as if he was disappearing. Time passed minute after minute and hour after hour, the two parties consisting of powerhouses didnt fear the wait. The sky was gradually bing dimmer, until nightfall came. With nights descent, the air cooled down while the natural humidity went up. A day and a night passed like that. When the sky started to go white, Huang Shuo started to stand up, looking at Ling Xiao. It had already been a day and a night, but the Illusory Shrine didnt show any signs of appearing. Right at that moment, a marvellous sensation passed over everyones head. Originally immersed in cultivating, everyone simultaneously reacted in the same way. They all looked in the direction from where the change urred. The surrounding space distorted slightly, and the smell of nature suddenly became thicker. Everyone felt a great amount of vitality being absorbed through their mouths. Even the demons finally started to have a cozy feeling from this. Above theke, tiny ripples started to appear, growingrger andrger, and in the middle of theke, a gush of water started to sprout. At this time, the omnipresent essence of life began to converge from all directions. With the arrival of dawn, the Illusory Shrine slowly rose above theke. Gradually, a dark green pce emerged from theke, and the clear water from theke ran off in rivulets. Its transparence reflected the green color of the pce. Under the brilliance of dawn, it seemed to radiate all around, and as it gradually rose, the vital essence in the surrounding reached its peak. All the surrounding nts reacted to it, growing at a monstrous speed. Gradually, the shrubs that didnt even exceed a meter in height, grew up until exceeding the humans and demons in size, and the fragrance of flowers also became heavier. Finally, this dark green colored pce sat on top of the waters surface, the instant the sun finally rose into view. The orange glow of the sun illuminated the Illusory Pce and gilded this shrine of nature. A faint steam revolved around the shrine, slowly dissolving under the radiance of the sun. After being reflected by the emerald shrine, the haze amplified the dreamy character of this fantastic scene. Light and water themselves were the symbols of life. This was a scene that stunned everyone, and that no one dared to budge, because it was truly too beautiful. When seeing such a beautiful scenery, everyone seemed to have forgotten the danger they were going to face. The Illusory Shrine had an extraordinary appearance, differing from every existing building on the continent. It didnt have walls in themon sense of the word. The outside was covered byyers of green crystals, that became bigger and bigger towards the bottom. All around the base, they stretched out in all directions, just like the eaves of a cathedral. Supported by a bunch of thick and solid pirs, the immense roof sat at more than thirty meters height. Each of the pirs would at least need three people to epass them, and it seemed that the whole pce was surrounded by a vague and soft green radiance. This hazy brilliance released from it made it impossible to see the interior of the Illusory Shrine. From what could be seen, this shrine didnt have any door. A total number of thirty-two pirs enclosed it, and concealed the inside of the shrine. It radiated an immense concentration of vitality, providing the surrounding with an extremely tranquil feeling. Long Haochen felt a slight heat from his chest, and the Light Elemental Fairy Yating came out of her volition. Looking at this huge shrine, she slowly sank to her knees on a huge shrub, and bowed from afar. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she muttered words in an unintelligible fairynguage. Her body seemed to glow transparently in the presence of the shrine. Although Light Elemental Fairies focused their worship on the God of Light, the elements of light, water and earth were all extremely close to the Goddess of nature. Therefore, the Goddess of nature could be said to be a partial master to them. Returning to this ce filled with natural energy and feeling the embrace of nature, how could Yating remain calm? She could clearly feel her own vital energy rising, while the golden radiance in her body circted like tidal waves. Although it became calmer with time, her originally partially transparent body was bing opaque, looking very close to a humans. Compared to the time Long Haochen had just made a contract with her, the vital energy flowing through Yating was tremendous. She had even evolved twice by relying on Long Haochens physique as the Scion of Light. However, the origin for her weak state was the mortal wound she had suffered back then. All this time, she had had to rely on the Saint Spiritual Stove to appease it. But at this very moment, in front of the Illusory Shrine of the Goddess of nature, her body gained an extreme nourishment, and the internal injuries in her body were healed in no time through the intense vital energy. It alsoid a firm foundation for her next evolution. A gentle green radiance spread in the air, giving rise to this fantastic scene. Perhaps because of the influence of the massive energy of life spread by the Illusory Shrine, the vegetation on the shore grew suddenly at a great speed, especially the shrubs located nearest to theke. In the midst of their frantic growth, the Illusory Shrine rose from theke. Theke was nowpletely surrounded by thick and solid shrubs, that looked extremely tough and durable. It was indeed strange, but these shrubs kept growing until they reached the height of the Illusory Shrine. Stopping at this point, it was as if they didnt dare keep growing further. Ling Xiao gave a nce to the leader of the imperial ck Dragon guard Huang Shuo, instructing in a low voice, It is now possible to enter. Numerous chances are awaiting inside. Huang Shuo nodded, turning back before directing a look at the ck-d youth who had shared eye contact with Long Haochen just before. Thetter then walked up in front of him, before giving a calm nod. Ahbao, be careful. Yeah. The ck-d youth gave a simple reply. A light tap on ground with his toes sent him flying high in the air. Yue Ye, Leng Xiao, as well as the other participating demons followed him one after another. On the other side, the humans followed in their tracks. Long Haochen, and Caier wereparatively at the end of their own group, while the two groups of ten entered the Illusory Shrine. The shrubs growing around theke were extremely tough, giving their feet a firm and steady foothold as they walked on top of them. Both parties crossed the shore like that. Ahbao? So this guy is called Ahbao.?Long Haochen had heard Huang Shuos voice very clearly. He hadnt seen this ck-d youth clearly, but as the leader of the demon group, his actual strength and ability couldnt be low. The ten of the side of the Temple Alliance didnt have a specific leader. After entering the Illusory Shrine, everyone would do things their own way. The two groups which were designed entirely differently, now moved at a distance of about ten meters, walking over towards the small gap between the massive pirs. When they arrived in front of the shrine, the previous dense life energy became weaker. This shrine in front of their eyes gave them a surreal feeling, as their senses were assaulted by the surrounding aura. It didnt contain the slightest impurity, but didnt have the same vegetative sweetness from before either. This vaguely gave off a presentiment of the particrity of this ce. Pulling Caiers hand, Long Haochen followed the others towards the shrine from behind, telling her in a low voice, Caier, our main task will be to reunite after entering. If you face any danger, dont try to be brave no matter what. Just activate the Illusory Gem and leave the Illusory Paradise. Seeing his deep concern, her lips formed into a beautiful arc, followed by her low voice, Dont worry. Because I have you, I wont act rashly. Long Haochen held her by the waist, as the two of them entered the Illusory Shrine in the proper sense. They were also thest ones to enter. Right after they entered the Illusory Shrine, their view was filled with a boundless green color. An illusory coloration of green was reflected in their eyes. It was totally devoid of anything else than green. The soft green radiance appeared the same as the most primitive form of life, undtions rising up and down in the rhythm of their breath. Just as Ling Xiao had told them, only after walking through this green brilliance they would truly be entering the Illusory Paradise. With a step forward into the glint of light, Long Haochen and Caier both disappeared into this green brilliance. Having just gone into that radiance, Long Haochen immediately felt a soft current of spiritual energy wrapping him in its embrace, and Caier whose hand was originally held by him disappeared. The surrounding green grew even more intense, but everything seemed to be happening far behind him. It was exactly the same as when travelling by flight on the back of a magical beast. Long Haochen shut his eyes, surrounded by a bunch of changes. He noticed that his mental energy was unable to force the soft energy protecting him apart. A short timeter, everything suddenly became clear again. After taking a sudden step forward, he was already in another world. The chirps of the birds and insects refreshed his mind with a tranquil feeling. Meanwhile, outside of the Illusory Shrine Remaining in the midst of the Temple Knights formation, Han Qian walked at the side of a tall Temple Knight, saying in low voice, Haochen is now inside. Given his intelligence plus the protection from the Illusory Gem, he shouldnt be in any danger. Are you here to wait for him to return, or is it about some other matter? If Ying Suifeng and Leng Xiao had heard his current respectful way of speaking, they would absolutely be greatly surprised. Because the Temple Knights were all d in Mythril Foundation Armor, their appearance couldnt be easily seen. In a deliberate low voice, the other knight replied, It doesnt matter, I will be waiting here for him to return. This time, the powerhouses from the demon side are not low in number, but with me here, I believe that they wont dare to act rashly without thinking. Huang Shuo has already noticed my presence. Given his extremely high position in the ck Dragons imperial guard, and furthermore his status as the trusted confident of the Demon God Emperor, his strength isparable to the top ten of the demon gods. Aside from the Demon God Emperor himself, and the Star and the Moon Demon God, no one would dare to be confident in being able to win against him. Without me here, this guy would surely do something fishy. Chapter 316 - Illusory Paradise (I)

Chapter 316: Illusory Paradise (I)

If not for the fact that twenty rays of light instantly scattered in all the directions, Long Haochen would have believed himself to be still in the Illusory Forest. The surrounding green light slowly disappeared, transforming into a mild green colored ball of light floating over his shoulder. Ling Xiao had told him before that if he wanted to return from the Illusory Shrine, he would need to pour at least 5,000 units of spiritual energy into this ball of light. Only after this would he be able to go through thest trial of the Illusory Paradise, and after passing, he would be able to return smoothly. But if instead, he used the Illusory Gem, he would however be able to return immediately. High in the sky, the twenty scattering lights immediately attracted Long Haochens attention. Of course, he knew what these were. Ling Xiao had warned them carefully that these colored lights were the spiritual stoves that had appeared in the sky as soon as they entered the Illusory Paradise, before scattering all over the Illusory Paradise. However, Long Haochen didnt immediately get into motion, but only watched attentively. After memorizing the rough location of these lights, he stirred the internal spiritual energy in his chest. Honestly speaking, Long Haochen was enormously nervous at that time. He was uncertain on whether he would be able to connect with the Tower of Eternity. After all, this was a ce controlled by the goddess of nature, and the Tower of Eternity was made by a necromancer. Even if it went as he expected, the Tower of Eternity in itself was a weapon, and as such it was certainly ipatible with the power of the goddess of nature. Under these circumstances, it was hard to predict whether they would be able to connect with the Tower of Eternity. In case he failed, all their previous ns would have been for naught. This was also the reason why Long Haochen and Caier entered together, and the important reason why Long Haochen didnt tell Caier to concede in thepetition. Caier entered the Illusory Paradise together with him, so even if he didnt manage to connect with the Tower of Eternity, there would at least be two people from their team able to fight for a few spiritual stoves. If conversely, it was only him, he would certainly not be able to grab more than one. After all, Ling Xiao had informed them already about the severity of thest trial. With a faint twinkle of brilliant light, Long Haochens eyes wore an ice-cold expression, and a golden brilliance started to be released from the area around his chest, precisely from the Eternal Melody. This Illusory Paradise was rich of the four main elements, light, water, earth, and the rare and unseen wood element, exclusive to the nature! This made a great variety of elements. The wood element was especially powerful in ces with a great amount of vegetation, but would be greatly weakened in ces without it. Because of its tight connection with nature, it also got called the energy of life. The spiritual stoves that had just spread into the air were for the greater part rted to these four elements. As he was currently immersed in connecting with the Eternal Melody, a dense light essence surged out from Long Haochens chest, causing the burning feelinging from within to be increasingly intense, and all the surroundings to blur. Long Haochen sensed every little change on his body despite, or perhaps rather because, he was inside of the Illusory Paradise. This time, against all expectations, he felt against the destructive process of the spatialws of the universe. From the Eternal Melody a dense light essence was released from which a gate emerged without a sound. In the process of the gates opening, everything waspletely under the control of the fluctuating light essence inside the Illusory Paradise, giving the impression that this gate was part of the Illusory Paradise itself. The spatial gate opened slowly, but Long Haochens spiritual energy was also consumed at a monstrous speed. In fact, he didnt need to consume any spiritual energy to open the Tower of Eternity in the past, but this time, in just an instant, half of his spiritual energy was exhausted, and the consumption still continued. Under a sensation of having lost all control, Long Haochens forehead was already starting to drip with sweat. The situation he was the most unwilling to see was in fact, to have the entirety of his spiritual energy depleted without even managing to connect with the Tower of Eternity. But by chance, he had considerable luck this time. Right when he had only about a thousand units of spiritual energy left, his figure suddenly started to distort, and disappeared with a sh of golden light. Following next, a familiar death energy filled the air, crowding around his body, and the Eternal Melody started to absorb the light element exclusive to the Tower of Eternity to help him regain his spiritual energy. Sess! Greatly overjoyed, Long Haochen rushed in the Tower of Eternity. Hisrades had entered the tower at their top condition, but after waiting for him for a long time in this ce filled with death energy, each of them was itching to go out. Seeing Long Haochen appear there, they were immediately excited. Boss, did it work? Sima Xian asked in a hurry. Long Haochen nodded in response, There shouldnt be any problems. Its just that in the process of transporting myself here, I spent quite an amount of spiritual energy. Bringing you back there with me will very possibly even increase this consumption, so I will first cultivate to recover, and then, well immediately leave. Time wouldnt stop for them, thus in all likelihood, those in the Illusory Pce surely had already started to move. If they didnt hurry back, the benefits would likely fall into others hands. After all, there were only that many spiritual stoves, and no one would be satisfied with just one. Sitting cross-legged, Long Haochen let his mental force loose, rapidly recovering his spiritual energy. However, even given his cultivation rate, he would need no less than half an hour to regain his previously consumed spiritual energy without Yatings help. Lin Xin, give me some Great Recovery Pills. I still dont know how much spiritual energy will be necessary to transport you back. After receiving the Great Recovery Pills from Lin Xin, Long Haochen led hisrades outside of the Tower of Eternity, immediatelyunching the teleportation. As he justly expected, transporting them back was very challenging and came with an immense consumption. Only after taking six Great Recovery Pills consecutively and with almost nothing left of the spiritual energy in his body, they were finally transported surrounded by a golden glow. With a radiant sh, a rich and fresh air immediately assaulted their faces, giving everyone a great shock. Is this the Illusory Paradise? Its really beautiful! Chen Yinger said in high praise. Long Haochen replied, Follow me closely. We have to immediately look for the spiritual stoves. We are already quitete, so lets hope that well have good look. Lets go! Saying that, he didnt even take the time to recover his spiritual energy, immediately leading hisrades by giving them directives about the directions. Meanwhile, he also called out the Light Element Fairy Yating to help him recover his spiritual energy. In an environment such as the Illusory Paradise, his recovery of spiritual energy was a lot faster than in the Tower of Eternity. With the overactivity of both the Eternal Melody and Yating, and the further addition of his spiritual cavities, he didnt have to rest. After all, he only had consumed spiritual energy, and was mentallypletely unfaced. The direction Long Haochen decided on was meticulously chosen, because he hadnt been able to instantly memorize the attributes of so many spiritual stoves in such a short time. However, he remembered the general directions in which the spiritual stoves had been flying, and thus chose the direction with the highest density of spiritual stoves. In addition, it wasnt so far from their location either, which gave them the most optimal setup to find the most spiritual stoves possible. Long Haochen discovered that after hisrades followed him there, every one of them had a green ball of light hovering beside them. Very clearly, it would be impossible to use the Tower of Eternity to leave after getting spiritual stoves here. Ling Xiao had told him that he could, in times of danger, rely on the Illusory Gem, but after getting any spiritual stoves here, the gem would lose all effectiveness. This was because getting a spiritual stove would be equivalent to achieving a connection with the Illusory Shrine, which would make the trial of the Illusory Shrine necessary to leave this ce. This was a matter Long Haochen had thought deeply about before: if in the end, everyone obtained a spiritual stove and passed through the trial, he would then transport them back to the Tower of Eternity right before leaving the Illusory Shrine. Given that the demons would be under the watch of the powerhouses from the Alliance, they wouldnt dare to approach the Illusory Shrine rashly either. ording to everything Ling Xiao had said, this Illusory Shrine was very strict regarding the limitation of spiritual energy being fixed at ten thousand units. Long ago, a powerhouse of the ninth step had almost died here, but luckily had retreated in time. Although Caier wasnt present, the six of them still maintained their habitual battle formation. In the front was Long Haochen, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan covered the two nks and Lin Xian as well as Chen Yinger were in the middle, with Han Yu protecting the back. The Illusory Paradise could be really called a heavenly paradise. Everywhere they passed, various rare and precious nts could be seen, and Lin Xin frequently told everyone to stop to pick up some of the precious nts he recognized. Seeing his eyes beam with smiles, anyone could tell out that they had a considerable value. Long Haochen didnt press him. Regarding hisrades, the most important thing during this trip for him would be their safe return. Under these circumstances, the major premise was to find a way to aplish that while getting some benefits. These herbal treasures could directly be harvested, and would thus be naturally given priority. As for the spiritual stoves, it would require them to test their luck. Everyone walked and stopped sessively like that. Since they were following a precise direction anyway, they just kept advancing forward. It was indeed impossible to fly in the Illusory Paradise. Even Yating who fit into this environment perfectly, could at most fly around five meters high before being drawn to the ground. However, having her around was a great help to Long Haochen. After their arrival here, Yatings ability seemed to have strengthened to a great extent Her Condensing Spiritual Halo was nearly twice as effective as in the past. In no more than a quarter of an hour, Long Haochens consumption of spiritual energy waspletely replenished. And through Yating, Long Haochens senses seemed to have grown sharper. He could now perceive the undtion of spiritual energy within the scope of a thousand meters. Around them were many fantastic precious nts, and a very clear stream flowed through the forest, from which asionally a faint fog arose, that would give a feeling of hazy beauty to everyone. But that fog wasnt a mixture of dirt and condensed water, but formed from pure liquid elements. The faintly golden colored light element, the faintly green colored wood element, the faintly blue colored water element, and the faintly yellow colored earth element. asionally, the colors corresponding to the other elements could also be seen. This scene was exceptionally beautiful, just like in a dream. Chapter 317 - Illusory Paradise (II)

Chapter 317: Illusory Paradise (II)

Walking through the fog of ones own element, one would immediately gain a sensation of awareness, apanied by an increase of the fluctuations of the spiritual energy in his body. It also produced faint boosting effects, and caused everyone to feel an urge to sit down and cultivate. But unfortunately, this bright fog was floating, thus absorbing it in a seated position would be quite hard. Long Haochen was the only exception to that, because he didnt need to absorb it by himself. Yating could directly absorb the light essence contained in the faintly golden fog. In a short amount of time, she had absorbed three shrouds of golden fog, which provided the skin of her already real-looking body with an attractive golden shimmer. The pure light element then passed through her connection with Long Haochen, and was transmitted into Long Haochens body. In this situation, his spiritual energy was incessantly increasing. Although it couldnt be called a phenomenal speed, it was still a lot faster than normal cultivation speed. Unfortunately, the Illusory Paradise opened only once every hundred years, and would only stay open for three days every time. Otherwise, if they could cultivate in such an environment, they wouldnt even need one year to hit the bottleneck of the seventh step. Continuing forward, everyone gradually calmed down. This ce was really beautiful, to the extent that even the tomboyish Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but sigh in high praise:?if I could stay in such an environment everyday, I wouldnt even need to rest. Colored in all kinds of beautifully lights, the rare nts growing everywhere attracted everyones attention. The cozy and rxed feeling gave everyone a desire to stay there forever. But Long Haochen clearly didnt have this intention. Not because he didnt appreciate this environment, but because of his current worries about Caier. Now that Caier wasnt by his side, he felt somewhat empty and restless. Suddenly, Long Haochen stopped in his tracks, making a gesture in the direction of his teammates. Closing his eyes, he concentrated his attention on sensing something. There are intense fluctuations of spiritual energy to the left. It seems that some people are fighting there, lets take a look. Take care to conceal your presence everyone, and listen to my orders. Arriving at this point, Long Haochen couldnt help but sh with killing intent in his eyes. The demons had no idea at all that hisrades came through the Tower of Eternity, and this was something he couldnt let them know, no matter what. Otherwise, it would perhaps lead to another conflict between the Alliance and the demons. Thus, before leaving, he had a talk with hisrades: in case they would be discovered by some demon, they would have to kill him immediately, and this came even before collecting any spiritual stove. Wang Yuanyuan silently sent a surge of spatial spiritual energy forward, softening the turbulences caused from their breath in the air, and Han Yu also silently summoned his Demonic Eye. Long Haochen could perceive weak surges of spiritual energy within a thousand meters, but as for those violent fluctuationsing from a battle, he could perceive them over a range of at least two thousand meters. As they advanced forward, the shrubs and the forest became denser, and little by little, the sounds of battle reached the groups ears. At this time, Long Hoachen however chose to stop in his tracks, giving hisrades the order to hide and wait for his orders, before taking out Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, as well as Bright Discipline, wielding the two swords in his hands and secretly diving in the direction of the sounds. Although he wasnt an assassin, he had precise control over his spiritual energy, and could conceal his own presence. As he closed the distance, the scene became clearer to Long Haochen. It now unfolded right in front of him. With a sh, Long Haochen rapidly climbed over arge tree, but in the midst of his climbing, he discovered that even if he only climbed over the trees, when going above five meters height, a pressure would manifest in the air, causing a condensation of spiritual energy constricting him, and consuming his spiritual energy. However, this wasnt an amount he felt a need to take in consideration. From the small chinks between the trees, he finally discerned who the two parties were. On one side was a young fierce-looking demon who could be called the ugliest of the ten demons that entered this time, but also the tallest one. His height exceeded three meters, his face looked totally ferocious, and he had a pair of gigantic ck wings on his back. In his hand was a heavy sword glinting in a blue fire. Needless to ask, this had to be a major figure among the Fiends, which implied they were also involved in this times ordeal. And his opponent was clearly not a human powerhouse of the Alliance, but a bizarre magical beast. This magical beast was simrly huge and sturdy. It was surprisingly a gori, with a sleek ck skin. Surprisingly, his build was even more imposing that that Fiends, and intense yellow energy spread from his entire body,unching severe attacks. The fluctuations of spiritual energy Long Haochen felt before mostly belonged to the earth element, and were clearly directed in killing that young Fiend. It looked as if the two parties were rather slow, but the battle was exceptionally fierce, the two opponents goingpletely all out against each other. That gori used its two arms as a weapon, and fight recklessly against that young Fiend. Every time they collided, metallic chirping sounds were produced. However, that was after all its body and not a real weapon. Relying on his Sword of Blue mes, the young fiend had the upper-hand to a certain degree. Each attack of his left a mark on the hand of the gori. Looking once again at their surroundings, Long Haochen immediately understood the reason for their battle. At their side, nearby, was a mild white radiance floating in the air. That radiance was approximately the size of a human head, just as if it had been hung here. Around it, four little legs could be seen, and a dense white light was emitted from inside. That was a spiritual spiritual stove, and it was a very rare non-elemental spiritual stove. What is an non-elemental spiritual stove? There is a simple example for that: Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove. This type of non-elemental spiritual stoves are among all spiritual stoves the most versatile ones. In other words, it can be absorbed by powerhouses of any element. Obviously, that demon was attracted by the sight of this spiritual stove. And the gori protecting it was a Spiritual Stove Guardian like those Ling Xiao mentioned. Every spiritual stove would have a guardian, and killing the guardian or obtaining his approval were the only ways to get it. Obviously, this young Fiend was pretty lucky, for encountering a spiritual stove that he could absorb so quickly. But of course, it could also be said that his luck was very bad, because he encountered Long Haochen here. Not intervening immediately, Long Haochen instead quietly went back, returning to the location where he had left hisrades before. After a few words of exnation, he returned once again to the top of thisrge tree. Without need to say anything, he transmitted his intention to Yating, who lightly chanted continuously, spreading soft golden ripples over Long Haochens body. This was a skill that Long Haochen wasnt capable of using: the Great Recovery technique, a pure healing spell. And being able to use it wasnt required since as long as Yating had this capability, he would also gain it. Giving her a thumbs up, Long Haochens body shed as he finally jumped from the tree. With the sudden appearance of another party, that sturdy gori and the young Fiend both stopped their attacks. And right at that time, a glint of gold arrived on the body of the gori. That was precisely the Great Recovery which was cast with Yatings help. Often, actions would be a lot more important than words. Long Haochen didnt know whether that gori understood hisnguage, but he could use actions to easily let it know his status as ally or enemy. A Great Recovery wasunched on the Gori, immediately healing the cuts on its arms at fast speed. The warm and pure light element immediately eased up the aggressive look the gori had towards Long Haochen by a great extent, which immediately appeared a lot gentler. Meanwhile, Long Haochenunched a rapid charge toward that young Fiend, leaving his back open to the gori. Through bodynguage, his confidence towards that gori was expressed. He believed that a magical beast acting as a Spiritual Stove Guardian of the Eternal Paradise will be blessed with some intelligence. At least, it would understand that he was giving it his assistance. With a low roar, the young fiend unleashed the Sword of Blue mes in his hand, aiming to sweep at Long Haochen. Corrugation was produced in the glowing airstream, but Long Haochen didnt retreat in the slightest, crossing his swords and using Divine Obstruction. Dang? With a crunchy sound and a glint of gold, Long Haochen against the expectations was pushed back, but from this, he got to sense the opponents strength: peak of the sixth step. This attack was already close to the power of 10,000 units of spiritual energy. However, this didnt mean much to Long Haochen. The gap of spiritual energy could be made up with his dexterity as well as his other strengths. Bright Vengeance was unleashed with a bright glow, and Long Haochen rapidly tread on the ground with his left foot. Suddenly sending out force from his leg, he was propelled towards the direction of that young Fiend like an arrow. In his right hand Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light took the shape of a myriad of bright lights aiming at the opponent. It was Demon Wiping sh. However, the young Fiend didnt retreat in the slightest, sweeping the Sword of Blue mes vertically. A wide expanse of blue rays immediately shed against Demon Wiping sh, unexpectedly nimbly blocking all the attacks arriving at him. Thats Glorious equipment!??That Sword of Blue mes was at least a piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier. The young Fiends battle experience was clearly plentiful: at the same time he blocked Long Haochens attack, the wings on his back spread out and a thick spiritual energy instantly burst out from his back. Immediately, an identical copy of his own body came out as a brilliance, directly rushing at Long Haochen. This brilliance shed with strong blue mes, and in the instant of itsunch, the temperature in the surroundings increased abruptly, and the nearby nts all burnt. With a cold snort, Long Haochen kept going forward, but recovered Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, his two arms drawing a vertical arc while grasping Bright Discipline. Chapter 318 - Illusory Paradise (III)

Chapter 318: Illusory Paradise (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A gaudy bright light was umting around Bright Discipline, covering itpletely with a sh of gold. It met that blue-green luster and it took only an instant to divide it in two, streaming past the two sides of his body. Immediately, Long Haochen erupted with golden radiance, and the golden wings on either side of his body abruptly pped, propelling him forward. Due to the explosive speed, he seemed to appear illusory in the air. The instant Long Haochen broke through his doppelganger-attack, the young Fiend finally looked somewhat fric. However, he wouldnt be so easy to deal with. With a furious roar, the Sword of Blue mes was also raised, aiming to wee Long Haochens Bright Discipline. However, this thrusting motion didnt aim to block the attack of Bright Discipline, but rather aimed directly at killing the opponent. The Sword of Blue mes was close to two meters long, whereas Long Haochens Bright Discipline didnt even reach a meter and a third. Executing the same thrusting motion, it was obvious that Long Haochen would lose. This young Fiend understood this perfectly, and choose wisely even in a situation where he was under a lot of pressure. Actually, he had no choice but to do so, because he clearly felt the great danger in the sharp Asura Strike Long Haochen released just now. And on top of that, Long Haochensbination of speed, Asura Strike and Asura Thrust was so fast that he couldnt act otherwise. If Long Haochen evaded, his attack would weaken, but if he didnt do so, the Sword of Blue mes would be bound to pierce his body. Considering this young Fiends cultivation and his weapon from the Glorious Tier, this wasnt anything his Glorious Holy Armor could block. However, the resolution to kill the enemy in Long Haochens eyes didnt weaken at all. As he was rushing forward, the toes of his left foot suddenly treaded on the ground, and his whole body suddenly changed direction, just as if it lost control over its center of gravity. It turned his original front charge into an attack from the side. This simple change enabled him to pass the thrust of the Sword of Blue mes. What looked like a simple motion was done at the most crucial timing. Thanks to it, the Sword of Blue mes only brushed against the Glorious Holy Armor, causing frictions on it while producing a series of ear-piercing sounds. _Puff._ Because of the deviation of his trajectory, the target of the attack, which was originally aimed at the enemys chest, changed. The left shoulder of the young Fiend was pierced, and the intense light essence turned into an extremely sharp energy, instantly drilling into the opponents body. _Hou._ The young Fiend let out a violent cry, and immediately afterwards, a series of loud explosions erupted in his left shoulder, creating a bloody hole the size of a human head. The fiend took his chance to stumble back, pping the wings on his back to escape while sticking close to the ground. The explosions in his shoulder werent triggered by Long Haochen himself, but a reaction of the fire and darkness elemental spiritual energy in his body. The reason for this was simple. When Long Haochens Asura Thrust pierced his body, it produced an intense burst of spiritual energy that his energy channels were unable to resist. Although it was just aiming at the middle of his shoulder, if kept unchecked to devastate him, he wouldnt even be able to escape. Thus, this young Fiend took swift action, causing the explosion of his own spiritual energy at the crucial time, triggered by the sharp spiritual energy released from Asura Thrust. This produced an enormous wound which bled profusely, but for the time being, he still had the ability to respond, or at least escape. Even if spiritual stoves were precious, they were useless to a dead person. Long Haochen didnt pursue him, not because he didnt want to, but because he wasnt able to. His Asura strike and thrust, looked at first nce like abination of the simplest kind, but it produced the most powerful attack he was currently capable of. Asura Strike and Asura Thrust were enough to consume half of his spiritual energy! Regardless of how good his talent was, he would need some time to recover after the use. At least to stabilize the remaining spiritual energy in his body. By relying on Brilliant World Yating transmitted some of her pure light elemental spiritual energy into his body. It could be seen that this pretty little fairy was floating behind him, spreading her arms forward, and producing a lustrous radiance shining upon Long Haochens back. The reason why Long Haochen decided to meet him head on was that after looking meticulously at the prior exchange, he came to determine that this young Fiend possessed a considerable strength, reaching the top of the sixth step. If this had been a normal battle, Long Haochen wouldnt be able to win so easily, because the opponent wasnt simply at the peak of the sixth step. To be the representative of the Fiend n in the Illusory Paradise, his position within the Fiend n was clearly high. He could definitely not be regarded as an ordinary Fiend. In case he confronted the opponent face to face, Long Haochen didnt have the assurance to win. However, it waspletely different with the consecutive use of Asura Strike and Asura Thrust. With the abrupt appearance of Long Haochen, inbination with the contiguous use of his most powerful attacks without any time of pause, the opponent was sure to be taken by surprise. And sure enough, the fight was resolved in a single blow that immediately wounded the opponent seriously. At this moment, that young Fiend felt quite depressed. He didnt even understand how Long Haochen had achieved that. His Shadow Strike could be considered a powerful ability,bining offense and defense at once, but it was immediately broken by Asura Strike. And right afterwards, Asura Thrust had almost prevented even his escape. With the addition of Long Haochens fast reaction speed, it took just a bit to wound him to such an extent. He was already at his limits mentally, but still stayed cool-headed. After such a serious wound, the priority was to escape. As long as he stayed alive, he would have a chance to pay him back. The young Fiend was about to conceal himself in the forest, when he suddenly felt intense killing focusing on him, just before an immense ball of brilliant light crashed into him. This attack came very suddenly, and was extremely powerful. Since this was a matter of life and death, the young Fiend erupted with all his potential, and the pair of wings on his back stretched to their limits. Relying on the aerial propelling force to rush forward, his right feet tapped onto that ball of light, borrowing its force to leap to the side. With a loud bang, the ball of light fell to the ground, but that young Fiends body that was flying obliquely shivered violently, and instantly lost all sensation in his right leg. Was the Crush of the Energetic Ball of Lightbined with Ripples of Light so easy to resist? And more importantly, by a demon already being seriously wounded? An intense silver light came crashing into him with a loud bang, and this time, he didnt have any chance to escape. Clenching his teeth tightly, he brazenly waved the Sword of Blue mes, while spouting a mouthful of ck blood onto the sword. Tblue mes surrounding the sword immediately burnt lustrously, and forcibly broke through that silvery radiance, but his body was alreadypelled to fall to the ground. _I cannot stop now, or else Im sure to die._ The young Fiend at this time only had this one thoughtpletely filling his mind. He struggled to straighten up again, hitting the ground at full force with his left foot and pushing his own body in another direction. His figure nearly drew a curve, while the wings on his back pped at full power. The spiritual energy in his body gathered frantically at the tip of his wings. Because of the excessive force he used, blood gushed madly from the massive wound on his shoulder. However, at this time, he wasnt able to deal with this much pressure. Puff Flying up in the air, the young Fiend spouted another mouthful of ck blood, and a change happened on his body. His muscles swelled instantly, and the wound on his shoulder unexpectedly healed at an astonishing speed. His active and aggressive self came back rejuvenated even further, and his speed suddenly shot up. This was the Great Demon God Reconstitution Spell, a blood-bound demon spell. An immense me skull brazenly shot up at this time. This strike had been stored for a long time umting nearly four thousand units of spiritual energy. And its target was the young Fiend. An ear-piercing boom shook the whole Illusory Paradise, and even all the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were shocked to a great extent by the following scene. That young Fiend unexpectedly forcibly broke through Lin Xins Fire Curse using Storing Power, without losing any speed, and flew in a specific direction. The Great Demon God Reconstitution Spell could instantly mobilize all the hidden capability of the user, but one had to pay a with life vitality and soul force as a price to temporarily possess a formidable power. In this seriously wounded state and while facing so many strong enemies, the young Fiend couldnt show any more reservation. To survive, he would prefer to suffer the terrible aftereffects of the Great Demon God Reconstitution Spell. In fact, every time this ability was used, at least three years would be needed for the user to recover his vitality. And this Great Demon God Reconstitution Spell could only be used by the seventy-two demon gods and their direct lineage. This was a clear revtion of this young Fiends status. A glint was produced by a golden figure standing in his only escaping path, full of honor,unching Holy Filter Shield and Divine Obstruction. In the meanwhile, two resonant dragon cries resounded at the back of the young Fiend. His Sword of Blue mes was raised upwards, but an extraordinary force seemed to force him to turn around. His massive body crashed against Han Yus Shield, Bright Reflection. Bang. Although he used Divine Obstruction, Han Yu was still sent flying by the collision. Meanwhile, two mini dragons of blue and gold formed of energy violently hit the young Fiend. Apanied by a wretched sipping sound, the young Fiends eyes were filled with despair, and right at this time, his spiritual energy burst out at an astonishing speed. Unexpectedly it broke through the threshold of 10,000 units right at this crucial time. Visibly, his original cultivation wasnt so simple as having merely reached the peak of the sixth step. In truth, he had meticulously suppressed his own spiritual energy toe here. However, right at the time when he wanted to break free of the dual dragons binding, and his spiritual energy rose past the 10,000, an extremely imposing force was suddenly set free in the Illusory Paradise. Immediately afterwards, a massive figure abruptly appeared from the sky, smashing violently against his body. Rumbles. The body of the young Fiend was smashed to the ground, and a frantic series of attacks hit his body. The smashing sounds of his bones were apanied by the gush of his blood sshing everywhere. That figure that appeared abruptly was exactly the gori that had fought with the young Fiend before, only that an astonishing change had appeared with him. It could be clearly seen that among those luminous clouds floating in the air, a great quantity of yellow colored clouds were being sucked into his body. His originally extremely robust self grew at an astonishing rate, in the blink of an eye reaching a height of ten meters. Soon, all sounds that could be heard from the young Fiend underneath disappeared gradually. Chapter 319 - Crown of Heritage and Scapegoat Spiritual Stove (I)

Chapter 319: Crown of Heritage and Scapegoat Spiritual Stove (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen and hisrades found themselves in a situation that didnt need their intervention anymore. Before, the young Fiend had been caught by the Pull ability of Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove, and as he couldnt directly attack Han Yu, he fell victim of Dual Dragon of Light and Rain. And as that young Fiend looked unable to struggle free, the seal that was ced on his body was broken, and the sudden increase of his spiritual energy had caused the sudden rage of that gori. Among the others surrounding Long Haochen, Lin Xin gave Long Haochen a meaningful nce, looking at the white spiritual stove floating nearby. Long Haochen lightly shook his head, hinting to the others not to act blindly without thinking. Killing that young Fiend was one thing but obtaining the spiritual stove was another. With the gori having just grown to such a level, they couldnt possibly resist him, so going for the spiritual stove was clearly not a good idea. Han Yu said lowly, It looks as if this demon has suppressed his own cultivation beforeing here. It was because he challenged the rules of the Illusory Paradise that this change was produced. The gori has at least broken through to the eighth step. Long Haochen replied, It was the Great Demon God Reconstitution Spell! Im afraid that this Fiend was actually one of the sessors of the fourth demon god, the Fiend Monarch Saminaga. I didnt expect us to end up disposing of such a big shot so easily. Lin Xin revealed a regretful expression, Its a pity that we werent the ones to execute thest blow. If Im not mistaken, killing a sessor of a demon god should grant a reward of at least 100,000 contribution points! Wang Yuanyuan reacted fast, Be contend with the situation. If we can obtain even one spiritual stove, 100,000 contribution points wont even be able topare. Captain, that gori will not be easy to handle. Should we withdraw? Long Haochen shook his head, Theres no need. Lets wait and see. As long as we dont act recklessly, it should at least not harm us. His perception being so acute, and considering the addition of Yatings and his own boost, obtained by being in the Illusory Paradise, he had actually all along sensed a change on the gori since back when he was attacking the Young Fiend. After being healed by his Great Recovery Technique, the goris attitude towards him became a lot gentler, and didnt contain any signs of hostility. The gori kept beating the demon over several seconds, before finally stopping. At the time he moved forth, the body of that young Fiend was entirely unrecognizable. The goris thick hands had pounded the mass of mincemeat, and only after seemingly finding something in the remains, he turned back towards Long Haochens group. Obviously, in his current state, he was really enormous, and Long Haochens group seemed very tiny in front of him. That was at least a powerhouse of the eighth step! And very possibly, he had already reached the peak of the eighth step. It was only the fact the young Fiend broke the rules that made thisrge gori be so powerful. Confronting such a magical beast, it was impossible to im that they were calm. However, Long Haochen walked towards the gori without drawing back in the slightest, the Light Elemental Fairy Yating spreading her wings on his back,nding as lightly as a feather on Long Haochens shoulder. Inside the Illusory Paradise, she was visibly like a fish in the water; as a matter of fact, Long Haochens previously consumed spiritual energy was already totally recovered after such a short timespan. What kind of astonishing recovery speed was that? The gori bent his arms, his two thick and powerful forearms touching the ground as the fierce look in his eyes gradually eased up. At this very moment, Yating suddenly flew out from Long Haochens shoulder, soared up to the goris nose andnded on it. This was a pretty funny scene, because as soon as the gori saw her, his two enormous eyes immediately converged in her direction, giving him aical look. Yating let out a series of melodious sounds, corresponding to the fairynguage. The gori clearly looked somewhat indisposed because of her. He lightly flung his head back, and sent Yating flying. Right at that time, the goris immense build started to shrink down to its original size, and the pressure he caused to Long Haochens group reduced ordingly. Slowlying in front of Long Haochen, its arm shot up, throwing a ck thing towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen unconsciously raised his hand and caught the object, before noticing to his surprise that this was an almost fist-sized magical crystal. This magical crystal had a very specific appearance, or more precisely, it was crown-shaped. Entirely ck in size, it emitted blue mes. Clearly, it was what the gori had been taking from the corpse of the young Fiend. This is Long Haochen gave the magical crystal in his hand an astonished look. Lin Xin quickly ran to his side. He was a lot more knowledgeable than Long Haochen regarding this sort of fantastic items. A Crown of Heritage! Theres no doubt that this guy had been the sessor of the Fiend Monarch Saminaga, and he was very likely ranked among the strongest. Only upon the death of a demon god would this specific crown-shaped magical crystal appear, and it can also appear for some sessors of demon gods. Its a real treasure that we have gotten. This thing alone is worth more than 100,000 contribution points! And reportedly, demons using a Crown of Heritage by setting it on a weapon, have been able to use its power to raise their strength by a whole level. However, you are unfortunately unable to use it, boss. The demons Crowns of Heritage can only be used by talented people of elements other than light. Else, thebination of light and darkness would produce terrible aftereffects. After pondering for a little, Long Haochen dered, Lets use this thing on your Fire Cloud Staff. After heading back, well look for someone to set it on. What? Lin Xin looked startled, But, this is no good, wed better exchange it for some contribution points! Long Haochen was unable to helpughing at that, How cant youpare the benefits? What do you think the contribution points are used for, as our teams god of wealth? What else is more important than increasing our strength? Since this thing is actually such a rare treasure, do you believe we should immediately use it to increase our power, or exchange it for some contribution points? We will give the good treasures to those in the team who are suited to use it. This is justmon sense. Finishing his sentence, he bowed to the gori, Thank you, friend of the forest. The gori let out a low roar, suddenly pointing a finger towards Long Haochen. Staring a bit nkly, Long Haochen didnt know what to do, but Yating came flying and pulled Long Haochens hand with both of her hands, cing it on the finger of that gori Immediately then, bizarre fluctuations of spiritual energy were spread from the finger of this robust gori to Long Haochens body. Long Haochens body in response glowed in a drizzling luster, and around the goris body appeared an undting yellow radiance. A momentter, a look of surprise gradually appeared in the goris eyes. Slowly lifting up his hand, he took two steps back before suddenly standing straight, his fists thumping on his chest, before letting out a strong howl. Giving a reluctant look to the nearby milky white spiritual stove hanging on the tree, he opened up his mouth, spouting a yellow brilliance illuminating the spiritual stove. The spiritual stove floated in the air, flying in Long Haochens direction, but stopped right in front of him. The gori suddenly turned around, and ran away. His consecutive low roars seemed to be filled with a reluctance to part as he kept howling over and over. He gave us this spiritual stove? Sima Xian looked astonished. Long Haochen nodded silently, It should be so. Grandpa Ling said that one would need to pass through two trials to obtain the spiritual stoves contained in the Illusory Paradise. One way to obtain them is what we just did. By influencing the magical beast guardian to willingly hand over the spiritual stove. But when using the other method, killing the guardian beast to get the spiritual stove, the trials get a lot harder. And this applies for the final trial as well. Sima Xian nodded in response, Boss, hurry up to fuse with it. Well see afterwards if there are others for ourselves. The others thought of this as a matter of course. Long Haochen was the core and leader of the team, and with this spiritual stove in addition being a non-elemental one, it was the natural choice to them to have him immediately use it to increase his strength. Long Haochen shook his head, I said just before that the decent treasures would go to the fitting person. Sure, I can use this spiritual stove, but Im not its most fitting user. Come on, Yinger, and assimte it. Me? Chen Yinger pointed to her own nose, giving Long Haochen a puzzled look saying that she didnt understand why she unexpectedly should be the one to get the first spiritual stove. Chen Yinger was not only didnt rejoice at his decision, but instead looked unconvinced, Captain, arent you thinking that I am the most useless in the team, thus wanting to increase my strength as a priority? Long Haochenughed in spite of himself, What nonsense are you bbering? Hurry up and absorb it, its an order. How could you still call yourself weak? Just wait for McDull to evolve! Afterwards, this guy will evolve from a magical beast at sixth rank to a magical beast at the seventh rank. At that time, as long as we have the suitable magical crystals, he should be able to disy a strength of magical beasts at the eighth rank. And this is still weak? This spiritual stove is the most fitting to you so hurry up and absorb it right now. As you absorb it, Ill exin to everyone why you are the most suitable choice. Only then did Chen Yinger look happy over his decision, running to Long Haochens side in high spirits, before taking out her spherical Crystal Ball. Specks of white light floated out from both of her hands. The instant she poured them into the Crystall Ball, it released a radiance and Chen Yingers whole body was surrounded by soft undtions of spiritual energy. The Crystal Ball shed, emitting white light which enveloped the spiritual stove, pulling it before Chen Yinger. Chen Yingers pretty face immediately sobered up. Biting the forefinger of her right hand, she let a drop of her blood fall onto the spiritual stove. Immediately, a rich white radiance burst out,pletely enveloping Chen Yinger. Chapter 320 - Crown of Heritage and Scapegoat Spiritual Stove (II)

Chapter 320: Crown of Heritage and Scapegoat Spiritual Stove (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This white radiance was not intense but extremely dense and viscous, just like a huge glowing halo that enveloped Chen Yinger. Sima Xian asked, puzzled, Boss, what does the spiritual stove do! Tell me. Everyone had general knowledge about spiritual stoves, but this didnt mean that everyone knew everything concerning spiritual stoves. Generally, one would only know about the types of spiritual stoves his own vocation was able to assimte. However, Long Haochen was not anyone. Having followed his father to train since a young age, Long Haochen had learned a lot about spiritual stoves from him. It could be said that Long Haochen had knowledge about every known spiritual stove, and Long Xingyu had even drawn for him a detailed diagram for him to recognize all those known to him. The reason why he had taught Long Haochen so much about spiritual stoves was part of Long Xingyus long-term nning. From his point of view, even to his son, it would definitely not be easy to obtain several spiritual stoves, but he would sooner orter have to fuse with some. Really powerful spiritual stoves werent only individual ones, but could be those created through fusing several spiritual stoves together. However,pleting such fusions would prove to be very challenging, but in case of sess, it would be an exclusive new spiritual stove, whose potential would be boundless and unpredictable. As a simple example, among the known spiritual stoves, the most powerful was naturally Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara. However, this was just a single spiritual stove. If someone would seed in fusing two or more spiritual stoves, the result could possibly even exceed the Spiritual Stove of Samsara in power. Of course, this was a mere hypothesis. Even among fused spiritual stoves, up to this day, none had ever managed to surpass the attack power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Otherwise, the legend of the former Scion of Samsara wouldnt still be that prominent. However from this, it could be seen how superior fused spiritual stoves werepared to ordinary spiritual stoves. When fusing with a spiritual stove, the matter wasnt only about choosing the spiritual stoves associated to ones vocation: over the incessant tests over some dozens of thousands years of human history, some testimonies of experiences of fusion of spiritual stoves were avable. Their key point was about theirpatibility and their formidable strength, but a part of luck was also involved in the process. No one would dare be certain to seed in fusing spiritual stoves, but no matter to whom, as long as he possessed at least two spiritual stoves, he would have odds of achieving a fusion. It was to let Long Haochen be prepared better for the future, when he would be more powerful and have the opportunity to fuse spiritual stoves, that Long Xingyu taught his own son about spiritual stoves in such depth. Long Haochen dered, This spiritual stove is called Scapegoat Spiritual Stove, and is ranked a bit higher than my Saint Spiritual Stove, but not by much. Any vocation can assimte it, and after releasing its power, the user can upon being attacked resist the attackpletely. The upper limit to achieve that is that the spiritual energy of the attack has to be below three times the users, and the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove can evolve at most twice. After evolving, it bes a limit of four, then five times. Since Chen Yinger is a summoner, her defensive power is the weakest among all of us, and she doesnt even have any defensive magic spell. In addition, she can temporarily not use any powerful summoning spell for the moment, and this is why I believe this spiritual stove will fit her the best, enabling to increase her survivability in the battlefield. In addition, the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove is of rather gentle nature, so when we will leave from here, its trial will not be too hard. More importantly, the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove has another use, it can duplicate an ability the user has just used, but after doing that, the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove will lose efficiency for a whole day. Chen Yingers Creature Summoning Gate is random, but after obtaining the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove, she will be able to make it a double summoning spell. This will greatly increase the odds of a powerful magical beast appearing, and in the future when she will be able to control the Creature Summoning Gate, we will then be able to use two Creature Summoning Gates at once in times of battle. Han Yu reacted, But if this spiritual stove is given to you, its efficiency would be just as great! No matter whether it is about its Scapegoat or its Duplication ability, both would strengthen your fighting ability greatly. And these abilities can both y a decisive role in times of battle. With augh, Long Haochen replied, Thats right, it can also be of use to me. However, Im not done speaking. This Scapegoat Spiritual Stove is of good utility, but why do you think its rather ranked low? The reason is simple; the time required to activate this spiritual stove is rather long. Launching the Scapegoat ability requires at least ten seconds, and using the Duplication ability takes up 15% more time than the original ability. If I am the one to use it, my opponent would never give me this time. But Yinger is ced in the middle of our team, so we dont need to worry about the time needed for activating the spiritual stove, which is why I made the choice of letting her assimte it. Hearing Long Haochens exnation, everyone felt satisfied. That was right, this spiritual stove was indeed most suitable for Chen Yinger. Sima Xian said with augh, Boss, when we encounter a spiritual stove focused on raw power, you definitely have to leave it to me. I like raw power the most. Long Haochen said with augh, This will depend on our luck. I believe that the majority of the spiritual stoves have already been found by those who came here, but the fact we found one already made the trip worthwhile. Getting some more could be regarded as a bonus. Long Haochen had a very good attitude; he already possessed two spiritual stoves, so this time, it was mostly to raise the strength of hispanions that he led them in the Illusory Paradise in this trip. Even if the activation time of the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove wasnt so long, he would still prioritize giving it to hisrades. But this was just something he didnt say out loud. The white light enveloping Chen Yingers body gradually vanished, and when she appeared again in everyones lines of sight, her face carried a startled look. Did the fusion seed? Wang Yuanyuan asked out of deep concern. Chen Yinger shook her head, before nodding, I seem to have seeded in assimting it, but how is it that I cannot sense the power of that spiritual stove!? Long Haochen smiled to her, Dont worry, this is just the initial stage of the assimtion. How could that be so fast?! You still have to pass through the second and the third trial before you can consider this spiritual stove as having truly be a part of your own. At least for the time we are in the Illusory Paradise, you will be unable to use it. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue, Its rather annoying. Lin Xin unhappily replied to her, Then how about exchanging your situation with mine? I wont find that annoying! Chen Yinger replied with a smile, Okay! Then lets make this a deal. If you can, just make my spiritual stoves walk up to you and absorb it. I heard everything you just said before, this Scapegoat Spiritual Stove is really great! Thankya Captain. With augh, Long Haochen said, Dont thank me. This is something we obtained together. Lets go, we have to keep searching. Lin Xin, how much of your spiritual energy has been replenished? The full power of Fire Curse had nearly exhausted Lin Xins spiritual energy. Lin Xin dered, Ill just need to recover a bit. I am just not specialized in offense. Lets just wait a bit before moving out Captain. Saying that, he took out a leather bag from some unknown ce, animatedly running up to the mincemeat left of that young Fiend, picking up selected parts. And it went so far that he didnt appear the slightest bit disgusted from such an ugly show. Chen Yinger immediately pouted out, Has-drug-bro, how is it that you are so disgusting? Lin Xin replied without even turning back his head, How is that disgusting? The medicine we use is mainlying from the bodies of magical beasts and demons, and have you never taken any? From my estimate, this one is at the very least at the seventh step in strength, or has perhaps even reached the eighth step. Even after he suppressed his own strength, it still took so much effort from us to kill him. Although the corpse is broken into pieces, its still full of good things. And furthermore, theres his weapon too. We have to take it back. It is made of pure fire element. Boss, let me take out my own money to buy it, Ill offer it to Xiner afterwards. Hehe, blue mes and Glorious Tier. What a good thing! Chen Yinger twitched her mouth, It looks that Ill have to call you the rotten-collector has-drug bro in the future. With Lin Xin picking up materials, the group wasted some more time before setting out. ording to Long Haochens memory, some more spiritual stoves were pretty close from there. Having experienced the previous battle, Long Haochen became visibly even more cautious. The young Fiend they had just killed greatly surpassed their expectations in terms of strength, and more importantly, among the demon powerhouses that entered in the Illusory Pce this time, this one was thest in row. The demon hierarchy was very clear, ones status would define his position. The ck haired youth that gave him a gloomy feeling of nothingness was the most in the front, so that meant he was probably the highest ranked among all them. Even Yue Ye and Leng Xiao were only ced at the third and fourth position and not even the second. Yue Ye was however the most doted daughter of the Moon Demon God, and as for Leng Xiao, Long Haochen didnt guess wrong: she would have some rtionship of kin with the Demon God Emperor, or at least belong to the Devil Dragon n. The only aspect unclear to Long Haochen was Leng Xiaos strength. Being a member of the Devil Dragon n how could she not even have reached the sixth step of cultivation back then? However, it would be more urate to say that she had clearly already broken through the sixth step now. Although it could be said that the ten of the Temple Alliance that came here were members of Demon Hunt Squad, all notcking in strength, the demons were even more meticulously chosen, and all those who came were the finest of their heroes. If they really met them in individual battle, those Demon Hunters from the Alliance would most likely meet with a terrible end. This caused Long Haochen to feel even more worried about Caier. This scene very easily rxed everyone, but Long Haochen maintained a state of great vignce from beginning to end. Yating was seated right on his shoulder and his own perception was linked to hers. This way, Long Haochens originally extraordinary mental capacity was in addition spread onto the surroundings with an efficiency that only became all the better. In fact, inside the Illusory Paradise, except from Eyes of Truth, any scouting ability was ineffective. Everything had to be investigated personally. After roughly half an hour, they discovered a badly mutted corpse of magical beast, its crystal having been already digged out, without any trace of nearby spiritual stove. With the basis of their previous encounter, this visibly meant that a spiritual stove had been snatched away, and by the means of sheer violence. Long Haochen stopped his steps, and after pondering for a bit, instructed in a low voice, Sima, dig a hole on the ground. We will bury this magical beast here, letting it return to the embrace of nature. Chapter 321 - Crown of Heritage and Scapegoat Spiritual Stove (III)

Chapter 321: Crown of Heritage and Scapegoat Spiritual Stove (III)

Yes! At this time, everyones absolute trust was visible; no one questioned Long Haochens decision, and the Energetic Ball of Light smashed onto the ground immediately next, digging a deep hole. Without any fear of getting dirty, Long Haochen carried the magical beast over and buried it with the help of hisrades. In this whole process, Yating didnt make any sound, only silently watching Long Haochens act, until the end of the burial. One could see in her eyes her emotional state: she was moved to tears while filled with praise. Lets go. After burying the corpse, Long Haochen led the others and kept advancing. It was not only out of goodwill that he buried the magical beast, but also because of hisprehension of the Illusory Paradise. This world was the residence of the goddess of nature, thus everything was expected to go in ordance with her amiable way of thinking. ughtering ones way to get a spiritual stove was a choice, but who knew about the difficulty of the following trials? Even if some using thetter method managed to pass through, the cost they would have to pay for that would likely not be low. Since there was a way to reduce this degree of troubles, why not do so? Right before that gori handed him the spiritual stove, Long Haochen came to the decision that he would act as the protector of the Illusory Paradise. This would not only give him a deep self-satisfaction, and conform with his character, but also very possibly grant him more benefit. Long Haochens train of thinking was rapidly verified. Not far from where they buried the magical beasts corpse, he suddenly discovered with surprise that his ability of perception and awareness seemed to have be even stronger. His perception of the surroundings was increased by more than a third, and in the Illusory Paradise, this was a considerable boost. Since things were like this, Long Haochen immediately came to an understanding, whispering some instructions to hisrades. Everyone followed in session, hinting that they were giving him their entire and absolute support. To the current Long Haochen, there were two very important matters. The first was to find Caier and the second was to keep acting with ordance to this way of thinking until the end of this trip. Though he was very strong as an individual, how could hepare to the great nature? This was an unchanging truth, at least as long as he wouldnt be an entity as strong as the Demon God Emperor. The increase of his perception was a great help, and as Long Haochen kept going forward, he very quickly had another reaction, this time sensing intense influx of spiritual energies colliding against each other, appearing even more limpid and fierce than during the previous time they encountered the young Fiend. After pondering slightly, Long Haochen stopped in his tracks, telling hisrades, There seems to be a violent group battle not far ahead. Dont follow me; just stay concealed while waiting for my orders. After saying this, he drew out both of his swords once again, swiftly dashing ahead. Since this was a group battle, both his allies and his enemies were bound to be present. Under such circumstances, he naturally couldnt rashly expose the fact that he brought everyone along to the Illusory Paradise. This was something he not only had to keep concealed from the enemies, but even from the Demon Hunters of the Alliance, or else there would be someplications. The further he advanced ahead, the clearer he perceived his aim. The group battle up there was extremely violent; such violent fluctuations of spiritual energy were after all hard to keep hidden. Rapidly, Long Haochen approached the battlefield, and when he came to see the battle, he couldnt help but feel his breath ease up, because among the two sides of this group battle, he saw Caier in a single nce. The two parties consisted of a total of seven people, and four of them were powerhouses from the Temple Alliance that he recognized. Caier aside, Long Haochen also recognized Zhang Fangfang, a mage as well as a warrior. And on the other side, the three enemies were Yue Ye, Leng Xiao and a haughty-looking young man whose entire body gave off a yellow glistening luster. This was a four against three battle, and the two sides were in a state of fierce battle, about equally matched in strength. These seven aside, there were three corpses on the ground, all belonging to magical beasts. And nearby, three different colored spiritual stoves floated in the air, emitting faint radiances. Since these were actually three spiritual stoves, it was no wonder that it caused such a frantic group battle. While Long Haochen was secretly startled, he couldnt help but feel somewhat excited. He didnt need to call his mates here, since with his addition, their side was definitely able to suppress the opponents, and moreover, they would receive Yue Yes help at the critical moment. As long as these three spiritual stoves ended up in the hands of the Temple Alliance, even if Caier and Long Haochen only ended up getting one, it would still be a good thing. Arriving there, Long Haochen transferred his own spiritual energy, nning to force his way inside. However, right at this time, he suddenly sensed a hard to describe fierce danger appear from behind. With a screech from Yatings mouth, a golden light was released from her body, enveloping Long Haochen. The danger came really too fast, to the extent that Long Haochen only felt the hairs on his own body setting upright, but it was often in such situations that he was able to disy the best of his fighting capability. Already unable to dodge in time, Long Haochen abruptly let loose his whole weight right at the time the opponents attack reached him, instantly transferring the spiritual energy in his body to his back. In the meantime, his whole body shot upwards, filled with vibrations. Ripples of Light was used, and this time, not only light was rippling, but the same happened to his whole body. In the midst of his indiscernible vibrations, Long Haochen reached his peak condition. With a bang, the mantle of light was smashed to pieces, immediately followed by the Glorious Holy Armor getting smashed to pieces, before a punch hit Long Haochens back, producing an effect simr to hitting an immovable mountain. Long Haochens entire body was close to totally empty, just like a kite that was sent flying, and immediately, his body released a burst of golden light. However, right after the opponent punch smashed him, he managed to turn around in midair, and learn the identity of the one who hit his back with such violence. A handsome face appeared in his line of sight, and an aura of gloom and nothingness, spread upwards just like a, meeting him head-on. Even in a ce so full of vitality, because of the diffusion of this gloom and nothingness, Long Haochen clearly felt the energy surrounding his own body fade away. No mistake, the one who attacked him from behind was the leader of the ten demons. At the same time Long Haochen was exposed, a miserable scream could be heard from the other side of the battlefield. Long Haochens perception still epassed all the surroundings, so he immediately sensed an extremely powerful presence that appeared on the other side of the battlefield. Along with its appearance, that mage from the Temple Alliance died, after being ambushed. The fist of the ck haired youth had shooed Long Haochen away, but he found out to his astonishment that Long Haochen seemed to have not suffered any injury, as his face showed a totally puzzled look. How could he know that Long Haochen wasnt just strong in defense, but also that by relying on Ripples of Light, he managed to dispel the great majority of the impact? Resisting the darkness elemental attack, he managed at the same time to make the wounds he received pretty light, although existing, with the great item called Soul Linking Chains. So demons are only good at attacking by surprise? Long Haochennded on the ground, as the spiritual wings on his ck blossomed triumphantly, giving off a ring radiance. Without need for him to do anything, the energy contained in the golden fog of the forest seemed to be amassing inside his body. This was the benefit of this field. Relying on his constitution as the Scion of Light as well as the amiable rtionship he built before with the Illusory Paradise, Long Haochen gained the maximal backing of the environment. More importantly, he had Yatings support, and conversely, although this ck d youth called AhBao by Huang Shuo was strong, he clearly didnt get any support from the Illusory Paradise. He was instead rejected by the surrounding environment. In this world, only results count. The methods used are unimportant. Ahbao said indifferently, not letting any of Long Haochens words sway him At that time, although Long Haochen was extremely worried about Caiers condition, he couldnt dare to be distracted in the slightest. The pressure the ck haired youth called AhBao caused him to feel was enormous, far iparable with the young Fiend from before. It seemed to him that if he showed the slightest hint of getting distracted, the formidable demon before his eyes would undoubtedlyunch a destructive attack. This is the difference between demons and humans. You dont have any notion of virtue or ethics, nor any sense of honor. You are mere beasts living only based on your instincts. In my eyes, you are no different from magical beasts, the only difference being that youre merely stronger than ordinary magical beasts. Long Haochen dered coldly. Finally some reaction was seen in the eyes of that ck-d youth, but it quickly returned to normal, his face portraying some traces of a faint smile, Trying to infuriate me? You are still too soft. Although I dont look quite older than you, I am already thirty. How could my determination be weak enough to let myself be swayed by your words? Pay allegiance to me or die, pick either of these options. You are one of the rare humans that I have taken enough interest in to offer submission. I will give you this chance. Long Haochen smiled back, Are you waiting for yourrades to surround me after killing my people? However, that wont be so easy. The enemies ambush was indeed sudden, but Long Haochen was actually not in that much of a disadvantage from the situation happening right now. First of all, the sudden activation of the Soul Linking Chains was bound to have attracted his teammates attention, and considering their intelligence, they wouldnt have any difficulties to tell that he ran into trouble. They would be sure toe here with haste, taking action right after seeing the situation. On the other hand, Caiers group was sure to be at a disadvantage, but never forget that Yue Ye was still a coborateur in their group. With Caiers control over Yue Yes body, she would naturally act at the crucial time, thus Long Haochen didnt feel worried for the moment. AhBao reacted with augh, Young man, arent you viewing yourself too highly? ording to you, I would need help from others to deal with you? Long Haochen replied, Thinking highly of myself? That may not necessarily be the case. I have obtained a Crown of Heritage magical crystal from killing one of yours right before. Chapter 322 - Three Spiritual Stoves (I)

Chapter 322: Three Spiritual Stoves (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Hearing the words Crown of Heritage, some change finally appeared on the face of the ck-d youth, showing a gloomy reaction, Who was the one you killed? Seeing his changed expression, Long Haochen revealed a stoic smile, Its the tallest among yours. If I am not mistaken, he should be one of the sessors of the Fiend Monarch Saminaga, right? How about you? To have be the leader of this expedition, you are surely above that guy in status right? Saminaga is already the fourth demon god, so then, your identity is pretty obvious. Youre a sessor of the Demon God Emperor, shouldnt I give you this appetion? However, your name is quite young and tender sounding, AhBao. You are very intelligent. However, intelligent people tend to die young. As he took a step forward, the ripples surrounding AhBaos body created ayer of nothingness. Although his movements looked iparably slow, Long Haochen only saw a twist in the air before AhBao appeared in front of him. He still hadnt drawn any weapon but merely attacked directly with his fist, only striking him with the simplest of punches. This time, Long Haochen had made ample preparations. Facing AhBaos attack, his expression abruptly became sharper, and while slightly drawing back, his body did a crouching motion. In the meantime, his left hand picked Bright Discipline from which a Shining Sunlight Strike broke out almost instantly, the skill beingpletely condensed on the sword. At the same time, from his right hand, a Demon Wiping sh burst out from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light with a dazzling light. Facing Long Haochens counterattack, AhBao seemed to show no reaction, not even showing any intent of blocking it. His fist only slightly changed direction but still aimed at Long Haochen. Dang. This first sound was emitted from the encounter of Bright Discipline with the ck-d youths arm, but to Long Haochens shock, Bright Discipline was easily repelled. Immediately afterwards, the Demon Wiping sh from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light shot out towards AhBaos body with a series of cracks. However, that was also nowhere enough to stop the opponent before him. Being directly hit by the Demon Wiping sh, AhBao only furrowed his brows but didnt suffer any damage. Seeing his fist ram forward, Long Haochens right foot softly tapped onto the ground, and his whole upper body borrowed force from that movement to forcefully get out of the way of his opponents attack. Meanwhile, his Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light flourished with white light from the activation of Holy Sword. From the beginning of the battle, Yating kept chanting from behind Long Haochen, and right now, Long Haochen stabbed out using the might of this Holy Sword. However, AhBao still didnt even avoid the attack, letting Long Haochens Holy Sword hit his own leg with a piercing blow. But this time, the bacsh was even more terrible. At that time, Long Haochen clearly saw his Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light bend because of the formidable pressure, before violently bouncing back with his own right arm. Stamping on AhBaos waist with his left foot, Long Haochen seized the opportunity to bounce back,nding ten meters away, his face still filled with shock. Looking at that AhBao, it seemed that he didnt carry a single piece of defensive equipment. All he was wearing was a simple ck gown. However, his own attacks boosted with Ripples of Light didnt have any effect whenunched against him. It was the first time Long Haochen encountered such an opponent. Regardless of your strength or your dexterity, if your attacks cannot deal any damage to the opponent, then everything bes futile. AhBao indifferently dered, So you are saying you were able to kill Shen Pian ƪ with only this bit of strength? Even if his spiritual energy was suppressed, you are still far from being his opponent. Your strength is just a little above all the trashy knights that go all out at the price of their lives against our kind all the time, and no more. However, thats still not enough. Long Haochen took a deep breath. He knew that this AhBao before his eyes turned out to be a lot more powerful than he expected. Only, even if this demon possessed over ten thousand units of spiritual energy, he shouldnt be able to take on the attack of Holy Swordbined with Ripples of Light with his bare body! How could he block his attacks so easily with his physical body? External spiritual energy! These three words seemed to resound instantly in Long Haochens mind, and he immediately understood how AhBaos defensive power could be so terrifying. That was right, the upper limit of spiritual energy was set at ten thousand units, but that was only valid regarding internal spiritual energy. Although external spiritual energy was also a kind of spiritual energy, it would only disy the strength of ones body. As long as AhBao didnt use any of his external spiritual energy tounch attacks, and only defended with it, even considering his powerful external spiritual energy, he wouldnt be removed by the rules of the Eternal Paradise. However, which level did his external spiritual energy reach? It had to be over ten thousand units strong. Otherwise, how could he block a piece of equipment of the Glorious Tierunching an ability of the fifth step? Looking at Long Haochens bewildered gaze, AhBao revealed a cold smile, No need to try to guess, my external spiritual energy is over twenty thousand units strong, so even without using my internal spiritual energy, Im still equivalent to a powerhouse of the eighth step. How could little shrimps like you stand a chance against me? This is mere pipe dream. If not for this loathing ce restricting my attacks, my first attack would have been just enough to send you to heaven. Twenty thousand units of external spiritual energy? To Long Haochen, that was simply iparable. How terrible could a level of external spiritual energy reaching 20,000 units be? He couldnt even imagine that, since thebination of both his internal and his external spiritual energy did not even reach 7,000 units yet. However, at this moment, he couldnt possibly shrink back. In case he retreated, Caier and hisrades would be the ones forced to face this powerful existence before his eyes. Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen calmly dered, Since you are so strong, why arent youing to kill me directly? If this was the external world, perhaps you would have the ability to do that, but at the time you entered the Illusory Paradise, your internal spiritual energy was bound by the limit of 10,000 units. As for your external spiritual energy, do you dare use it to attack me? Even if I cannot defeat you, it wont be easy for you to defeat me either. Saying that, contrary to everyones expectations, Long Haochen retrieved Bright Discipline. He undoubtedly felt very hesitant, since this thirty years-old AhBao had at least reached the eighth step of cultivation, and was even possibly at the ninth step. But so what? This was the Illusory Paradise. Long Haochen made his move in the next instant, rushing forward to attack. In a split second, his speed reached its peak and the spiritual wings on his back vanished as his eyes locked on the opponent with an ardent look. Snorting with disdain, AhBao didnt seemed moved in the slightest by Long Haochens words, but this time, his response wasnt a simple punch. His figure flickered forward, attacking Long Haochen sideways. Arge, consisting of intense darkness energy instantly formed in the air, shrouding Long Haochen in its range. Long Haochens eyes shined with a glint, and an instantter, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was lifted up high over his own head. A majestic nce shoot forth from his eyes. The strong golden light instantly transformed into a sharp shing attack as Asura Strike erupted. Apanied by ear-piercing hissing sounds, Long Haochen didnt only use a mere Asura Strike. After having gone through constant training, he relied on Holy Swordbined with Ripples of Light to reinforce Asura Strike. However, the circumstances didnt give him the time to use Storing Power. Even so, the power of this Asura Strike could already be described as frightening. Asura Strikes greatest feature didnt lie in its destructive power, but in its sharpness. With its offensive power concentrating on the sharp edge of a de, it bound all the surrounding energy at the same time. A loud sound disrupted the air, and although Long Haochen was put against a great resistance, the offensive power of Asura Strike still produced sufficient results. The darkness spiritual energy entangled into the shape of arge, was instantaneously split in half, and in the meantime, Long Haochens golden wings instantly pped on his back, propelling him forward at maximum speed. Following, his Asura Strike was then instantly linked with an Asura Thrust. Thisbo sounds simple, but it was the refined result of having practiced for an uncountable number of times. Especially since he had reached the sixth step of cultivation, he had managed to strengthen this blow to its natural limits by relying on the eleration provided by his spiritual wings. Even if one possessed an external spiritual energy of 20,000, would he be able to resist the bursting Asura Thrust containing all of Long Haochens concentrated offensive power? Hmh? Seeing the intensive eruption of power from Asura Strike, AhBao was slightly startled. His originally apathetic assessment of a merely somewhat clever opponent was suddenly roused. However, this was far from being enough to worry him. Facing Long Haochens Asura Thrust, his eyes shone with a drizzling purple brilliance, and his two ck eyes suddenly turned purple. He used a way to greet the Asura Thrust that Long Haochen didnt expect at all. As he merely raised his right hand and pointed upwards with his forefinger, his forefinger alreadypletely took on a sparkling and translucent purple color. It could be clearly seen that around his forefinger, purple lines of light were drawing circles in the air. The power originating from his finger actually filled the air with purple ripples, showing a series of fine cracks. Puff. Asura Strike struck against AhBaos forefinger, and the collision of light against darkness, two entirely opposite entities, produced an abrupt explosion. Long Haochen only felt his own Asura Thrust beingpletely stopped by a protectiveyer, and the immense reverse power against all expectations swallowed all the offensive power of his attack. Even after that, that terrifying energy of darkness kept wrecking havoc, engulfing his body. However, on the other end, AhBao didnt stay unfaced. Obviously, he had a certain understanding of Long Haochens attack. Asura Thrust could be called Long Haochens current most powerful mono-target technique, even exceeding the Dual Dragons of Light and Rain in strength. How could such an attack be resisted so easily? More importantly, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was in itself a weapon filled with many mysteries, that could unceasingly evolve until reaching the Legendary Tier. Its sharp power inbination with Asura Thrust caused the eruption of a top grade offensive power. An ear-piercing exploding sound filled the air, and with a snap, his right hand bent in response. The sharp spiritual energy contained in Asura Thrust caused even a change to his expression. His whole body erupted with a deep purple light, that forced the sharp spiritual energy out of his body. Chapter 323 - Three Spiritual Stoves (II)

Chapter 323: Three Spiritual Stoves (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Just from the way he responded to Long Haochens fatal blow, it could be seen that AhBaos strength indeed exceeded the strength of that young Fiend Shen Can by far. The key point to that difference was in fact his external spiritual energy exceeding 20,000 units. It was the first time Long Haochen became aware of how terrifying external spiritual energy could be after reaching a certain level. However, his attack didnt stop at that. As Long Haochen let out a mouthful of blood, a resonant dragon cry shot up from him. Although Asura Thrust had been deflected, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light instantly turned into two mini dragons of light and rain, which went straight at the opponent. Long Haochens way of thinking was simple; facing such a powerful opponent, he couldnt possibly win only by going all out. It would just be a matter of time before the opponent would kill him. His only choice was to rely on burst attacks with instant destructive power great enough to overpower him. Therefore, he used the entirety of his techniques, and aimed at least at wounding the opponent seriously. Inside of the Illusory Paradise, the recovery speed of Long Haochens spiritual energy was severalfold faster than anyone elses. Evenpared to this AhBao, Long Haochen was confident that his recovery of spiritual energy was greater. Under such circumstances, he was the least afraid of fighting without reservations. If he could wound AhBao, by proceeding with a series of attacks, he would have a chance. AhBao naturally didnt expect Long Haochen to actually still have tricks up his sleeve. And especially not that they would be so powerful. Long Haochen spouted another mouthful of blood, not because of the wounds from AhBaos attacks, but because of having chained all his most powerful attacks consecutively. His energy channels were under heavy stress, causing him to splurt out his own blood unconsciously. But even under these circumstances, the Dual Dragons of Light and Rain were still released sessfully. With violent bang sounds, AhBao coughed once again. His body was sent flying by the attack, two blue and golden little dragons unwaveringly winding around his body. Long Haochen stood straight in his original ce. Not giving himself any time to recover, a golden fog of light ascended from his body in a sh. It was Storing Power. His total amount of internal spiritual energy was around six thousand, but after thisbo of three consecutive attacks, he had already consumed over five thousand units. That was to say, his remaining spiritual energy was far from enough for a second Asura Thrust. However, here in the Illusory Paradise, with the help of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, Long Haochen managed to stubbornly release a second Asura Thrust. Bright Discipline already took over the position of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and Long Haochen couldnt help but splurt out another mouthful of blood, because he already used his Storing Powers ability to its peak. In the air, the golden fog was flocking outright, not restoring his spiritual energy, but entering directly into him to be a part of the Asura Thrust together with the stored energy. _This guy is a madman!_ That was AhBaos current thought. Since theunch of Long Haochens first Asura Strike, hisbination of attacks was chained up without the slightest pause, reaching the limit of his own bodys capacity. Not giving himself the slightest second to merely gasp for breath, it could be said that this Dual Dragon of Light and Rain was unleashed by going over the limits of his own body. This even caused him to injure his own body, and the overdraft of his body from this tyrannical fighting style was a burden the Soul Linking Chains were not even able to share among his teammates. Not only that, but a red radiance appeared at that time on AhBaos body, it was the Lock ability. Then a simrly red glow appeared around Long Haochens body as heunched the ability Sacrifice. He was going over his limits, as if his life depended on it! But this was also the best timing he could choose to do that. Even considering AhBaos strength, he couldnt help but feel somewhat afraid of Long Haochens act of not holding back at any cost. Such a madman that didnt even consider any aftereffects of the attack would very possibly hurt him seriously. At this time, AhBao didnt show any more reversation. An oppressive force full of an antique aura was released from his body, and his originally ck spiritual energy turned a dark purple color. Even his eyes becamepletely purple. A pair of ck dragon wings unfolded on his back, and his white skin was covered with fine deep purple dragon scales. Struggling to get free, his both arms broke past the binding of the Dual Dragon of Light and Rain ruthlessly. Affected by his impulse, Long Haochens stored Asura Thrust seemed to take only a split second to beunched. An ear-piercing hissing sound spread to the surroundings, causing violent twists in the air, and under the effects of the ability of Sacrifice, Long Haochens attack directly cut through the air. Strangely enough, the surroundings of his body seemed devoid of fluctuations of spiritual energy. But all of this was only the beginning, before a very weird scene emerged. All this concentration of spiritual energy was gathered in one point. AhBaos grave expression became all the more unsightly. With a wave of his right hand, a thin sword appeared. Thrusting its sharp end forward, he directly aimed it against Long Haochens Asura Thrust. Ding. After a deafening exploding sound filled the air, AhBao coughed hard, finally spouting a mouthful of purple blood himself. His entire body,pletely glowing purple, was immediately pushed back a distance of more than ten meters by Long Haochens attack. The thin sword in his hand shattered into small pieces, unexpectedly reduced to nothing. However, afterpleting this attack, Long Haochen also fell to the ground, gasping desperately for breath. In his mouth was already a Great Spiritual Recovery Pill, as his whole imposing aura copsed at an astonishing speed. AhBaos eyes were igniting with raging mes. Wounded. He had actually been wounded twice in session by this human far from being his equal in strength! Since that was a madman, then he should just be left to meet a mad death. AhBaos body abruptly became more robust, both of his arms turning into dragon ws and a series of purple ckish bolts of lightning started hovering around his body. However, an iparably cold killing intent instantly filled the air right at that moment, and all the surroundings became dark ck. It seemed that right at this time, the Illusory Paradise turned entirely grey. A ck silhouette appeared noiselessly next to Long Haochen, silently gazing at the nearby AhBao. Her left hand raising unhurriedly, an immense grey luster gradually took shape at her back. As it formed the shape of a sword, the frantic killing intent reached its peak. Perhaps I am unable to defeat you, but I can drag you to the other world with me. Caiers cold voice reverberated in the air. She hadnt given Long Haochen a mere look, but her killing intent still reached its supreme limit. The killing intent bursting out from the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara gave a terrifying feeling of total destruction. Even Long Haochen distinctly felt that a change seemed to have urred on the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, whose killing intent was even more substantial than in the past. The killing intent from her Spiritual Stove was usually dispersing in all four directions, but now it was locked entirely on AhBaos body. Brother Bao, be careful, thats the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Dagger of Samsara. Yue Yes rmed cry resounded. Immediately afterwards, both Leng Xiao, Yue Ye, as well as the other two demon powerhouses swiftly appeared at AhBaos back. Among those four was the previously proud orange d demon, who looked severely beaten, and had apparently suffered serious injuries. The other one who directly appeared at AhBaos back was the second ranked among the ten demons that came to the Illusory Paradise. A young man d in a purple robe. He was the one that intervened to kill the mage Demon Hunter, narrowly gaining control over the battlefield. At the same time Caier appeared, the members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad appeared in session at Long Haochens back, and stood together with Zhang Fangfang.. That was to say that the other warrior Demon Hunter had also died from the injuries he had received during the previous battle. The battle between Long Haochen and AhBao had been so intense in the use of formidable spiritual energy that everyone from the demon side had naturally sensed it. And it was the same for Caier and the others. The members of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad had arrived in time, heavily injuring the orange mage while turning back the tide of the battle. By the means of their top level coordination, Zhang Fangfang had temporarily taken Long Haochens usual duties, and together they had forced the enemy back. Now, they stood shoulder to shoulder, opposing AhBao here. In terms of the overall situation, the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were still better off. Only Long Haochen waspletely exhausted, after facing his opponent who turned out to be quite a big-shot. But the same didnt hold true for the demons. They all understood how powerful AhBao was, and yet, he had been wounded by Long Haochen. Yue Yes shock was naturally the greatest. She knew AhBao since young, and if she had to pick someone as a target of admiration among the younger generation, that would definitely be AhBao. Furthermore, she also clearly understood Long Haochens level of cultivation, and to her, these two were impossible topare at any point. However, this very situation was entirely different from what she had imagined. Although Long Haochen was totally worn up, AhBao had also sustained injuries, and they were caused by Long Haochens attacks? And in a one versus one fight? In terms of numbers, Long Haochens group had eight members, whereas the demon group numbered only five, including a seriously injured person. AhBao had also suffered severe injuries, but as a whole, the gap between the two sides wasnt sorge anymore, though the demon side likely had the upper hand. AhBaos nk look gazed fixedly at the ck wings spreading from Caiers back. Seeing the ck wings expanding ominously, and sensing the killing intent that could burst out at anytime, his eyes gradually narrowed and his dragon ws retracted with cracking sounds. Lets leave. AhBao ordered indifferently. Brother Bao! Leng Xiao called out in resignation. AhBao coldly swept her a nce, lightly unfolding the wings on his back and sweeping them close to the ground. The others didnt dare say anything further, and Yue Ye gave Long Haochen and Caier a profound nce before rapidly following AhBao, leaving quickly. The killing intent dispersed slowly, and Long Haochen hesitantly got up. His face did not rx in the slightest because of the departure of the enemy. Instead, it looked even more serious. If this wasnt the Illusory Paradise, Im afraid that we would have been doomed. Long Haochen murmured quietly. Sima Xian asked in a low voice, Boss, how powerful was that guy? Chapter 324 - Three Spiritual Stoves (III)

Chapter 324: Three Spiritual Stoves (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen nodded, giving him the reply, Very strong. The demons that came this time seem to have suppressed their strength before entering the Illusory Paradise. That AhBao is at least at the eighth step, or may even have reached the ninth step. His external spiritual energy has reached 20,000 units. Even with thebined power of Asura Strike and Asura Thrust, I could not break past the natural defense of his physical body. He is afraid of Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara, so for now, we have to be steady and cannot let emotions affect our decisions. He is bound to be one of our future great enemies. And hes very possibly the sessor of the Demon God Emperor. Hearing this, everyones expression changedpletely. The sessor of the Demon God Emperor, just what kind of status was that? Chen Yinger said, unconvinced, So what about it? Havent we just chased them off? Caier replied indifferently, The reason why he was wounded by Haochen and prefered to escape was because he is more afraid of death than us. Being the sessor of the Demon God Emperor, he will be the future ruler of the demons, and is thus not willing to take risks. Otherwise, we would have all died here today. Even by utilizing the full force of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, I have only one sixth of certainty to take him down. To him, we are the same lowly existences as the six Demon God yers in rtion to the Demon God Emperor when they appeared in front of him on that day. Standing in front of Long Haochen, Zhang Fangfang expressed his appreciation, Its fortunate that you came here in time, otherwise I would also have ended up dying here today. We have after all underestimated those who came from the demon side. To the best of my knowledge, the other two aside, at least three more of the ten of us have already died in battle. And the spiritual stoves acquired by the demons are exceeding seven. He didnt inquire Long Haochens team about how they appeared in the Illusory Paradise, but only provided them with all the information he had. Long Haochen furrowed his brows, Lets go then. We should recover those three spiritual stoves first and bury the corpses of those magical beasts before discussing how to move forward. Returning to the previous battlefield, they saw the corpses of the mage and the warrior from different Demon Hunt Squads, in a very miserable state. Long Haochen recovered their corpses and transported them to the Tower of Eternity, nning to hand them back to their own team after leaving. In fact, the death of a Demon Hunter was considered a fatal blow for the whole team, and would very possibly cause the disbanding of this Demon Hunt Squad as a whole. Moreover, this time almost only core team members came, so those demons would naturally show no reservation to kill them upon encountering them. Just like the Demon Hunters would kill them without any reservations. But from todays situation, it was visible that the Demon Hunters were in a state of absolute disadvantage. However, it was already toote to say anything now. Who would have expected that this time the assets that came from the demon side, including several sessors of the seventy-two demon gods, came after suppressing their own strength through secret methods. After burying the corpses of the magical beasts without even touching their magic crystals, Long Haochen led hisrades in front of those three spiritual stoves. A fantastic scene happened; Yating slowly floated to the front of those three spiritual stoves, murmuring some incantations which surrounded the three spiritual stoves with a soft golden light. Immediately, the three spiritual stoves glowed with a soft radiance, as they arrived before Long Haochen while following Yating. Facing the three spiritual stoves, everyone immediately looked fervent at this sight, but Long Haochen turned towards Zhang Fangfang, telling him, Brother Zhang, pick one of those first. Eh? Me? Zhang Fangfang looked at Long Haochen with some astonishment. It was impossible to deny that he longed for these three spiritual stoves, but he had already suppressed the desire deep inside of him. The fact that Long Haochens whole team was brought magically to the Illusory Paradise as a whole was not a matter of strength, but their own secret. And furthermore, if not for the presence of these people from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad here, survival would be very hard for him. Thus, he naturally didnt hope for too much. In the previous battle, he saw personally the deep mutual understanding and the great strength of their whole team. Although, with the exception from Long Haochen and Caier, none of them had broken through to the sixth step yet, their cooperation was plentily formidable. Never did he expect Long Haochen to let him first pick a spiritual stove. Long Haochen exined, Brother Zhang, you were the one who discovered these spiritual stoves, and without you, we wouldnt necessarily have been able to drive those demons away. Dont be modest, Brother Zhang, please just go on. Zhang Fangfang took a deep breath, unconsciously looking at the others at Long Haochens side. Regarding Long Haochens words, no one opposed in the slightest, and no one even looked unsatisfied in any way. After a short time of internal struggle, Zhang Fangfangs face returned to a serene look, dering earnestly, Brother Long, thank you. However, I cant ept. I cannot deny that I long for spiritual stoves. However, if not for the help I had from you during this battle, I wouldnt even be alive. You are my saviors so for now, how could I take one of the spiritual stoves you gained from having fought such a hard battle. Brother Zhang Long Haochen was about to keep insisting, before being prevented from saying anymore by Zhang Fangfang. With resolution, he dered, Brother Long, how about that, I just have a little request. I hope that I could stay with your group for the time being. If our luck is good enough to encounter more spiritual stoves, how about giving me one at that time? I really dont want any of these three. This being said, the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad exchanged surprised looks when seeing Zhang Fangfang, but they were all full of respect. Not everyone was able to renounce something as enticing as spiritual stoves. Although they made an agreement to let him have the next spiritual stove they would run across, who could guarantee that they would still encounter any more spiritual stoves? Long Haochen wasnt an unreasonable person, and time wouldnt wait for them. After a short time of reflexion, he replied, Okay then, since this is what you want, I wont show reservation. Lin Xin, the red spiritual stove is yours. Sima, that spiritual stove glinting in a frantic red is for you. And Yuanyuan, assimte the silver-colored spiritual stove. Start assimting now, we will give assistance by guarding you during this time. Everyone in the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad was not only full of trust towards Long Haochen, but also trusted his judgment. Hearing him, none of them spoke anymore, and the three immediately started the absorption of the three spiritual stoves. Because this was merely a temporary absorption, and they wouldnt directly be able to use them, so it took only a short time before the three of thempleted their respective assimtions. Lin Xin and Yuanyuan had tolerable reactions, just showing happy expressions, but having just assimted his spiritual stove, Sima Xian shouted loudly, So invigorating! This almost electrocuted me to death. Long Haochen smiled, The spiritual stove Lin Xin assimted is called Heart of mes, and forms a me of extremely high temperature. It cannot help the fire element mages in cultivation nor does it carry any additional ability, but it causes the quality of the me released by the mage to reach the greatest levels. Its temperature will also reach a terrifying level. The Heart of mes Spiritual Stove may not seem to be of great value, but it is ranked in the top five among all spiritual stoves that can be absorbed by mages, and in practice, it is of formidable utility. Yuanyuans spiritual stove is a rarely seen space elemental spiritual stove, and matches perfectly with her. It is known as the space elemental spiritual stove with the highest utility. If the mes from Lin Xins Heart of mes Stove can be said to have the risk of producing bad aftereffects upon overuse, Yuanyuans spiritual stove is however absolutely not the least dangerous. This spiritual stove is called Spatial Gate, and simply said, it enables Instant Shift. If Im not remembering it wrong, the Spatial Gate can be used multiple times every day, and the frequency and range will depend on its degree of evolution. And to a warrior of spatial element, taking possession of this spiritual stove gives an enormous boost to any other spatial elemental techniques that can be learned. Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin had pretty good luck. Then, boss, how about me? What about the spiritual stove you told me to assimte? It really electrocuted me without limits The expression on Sima Xians pained face looked far from merry. With augh, Long Haochen exined, Didnt you want a spiritual stove of high bursting power? This is what you wished for. Its a rather umon spiritual stove, and very rarely seen. It is of the thunder element and anyone can absorb it. Arriving at this point, he gave Zhang Fangfang a look. His original intention had been to let Zhang Fangfang choose this spiritual stove, because in contrast, he couldnt surrender the two spiritual stoves given to Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin, especially the one for Wang Yuanyuan. As known, the spatial elemental spiritual stoves after all even exceeded the top three ranked in rarity. Sima Xians spiritual stove is called Purple Thunder, and doesnt carry any active, but a very powerful passive ability instead. As long as your body can bear it, after assimting this spiritual stove, all your attacks will carry a powerful lightning force. As for the specific level it can reach, we will know after trying it ourselves in the future. However, I need to warn you that because of the tyrannical and brutal aspect of this Purple Thunder Spiritual Stove, Im afraid that at the time you will undergo its real trial, the degree of difficulty will be rather high. You have to prepare well mentally. Sima Xian appeared satisfied, Very good. I like this one. His straightforward personality aside, he was actually a rather thoughtful person. Although Long Haochen didnt tell him about its real level of power, he could tell out that even among all umon elements, the thunder was the most powerful one. Having already obtained four spiritual stoves, Long Haochen finally felt the pressure on his shoulders ease. These were a lot of rare heavenly treasures, and all of them were very useful. These four spiritual stoves already made their trip worthwhile, but there was still some time, though it was hard to say whether there were still any free spiritual stoves left. Everyone got in action once again, and with the addition of Zhang Fangfang, their group now reached a total number of eight people. Even when encountering those demons, they would still be able to put up a fight. But that would be on the premise that the entirety of the demons werent gathered. Time passed little by little, and on their road, they didnt encounter any other spiritual stoves. Long Haochen also didnt sense much, just encountering the corpses of magical beasts, which they buried just like before. With the descent of night, the Illusory Paradise seemed to look the same as outside; there actually existed both a day and a night. The eight of them were gathered together, looking for a rather covert ce to have some rest. This was how they passed their first day since entering the Illusory Paradise, but this was just the beginning. ording to Ling Xiaos information, the following days were still going to be filled with opportunities, but even more danger. Chapter 325 - A spiritual stove that had never appeared before (I)

Chapter 325: A spiritual stove that had never appeared before (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Before their departure, Ling Xiao had given the ten Demon Hunters designated to enter the Illusory Paradise detailed information about their possible future encounters inside. Generally speaking, the Illusory Paradise would be rather peaceful and they would just encounter the magical beasts guarding the spiritual stoves theyd find. However, some special circumstances could also appear. For instance, if the concentration of killing intent was too intense in the Illusory Paradise, it could very possibly cause changes to the surroundings. The Illusory Paradise would produce approximately twenty spiritual stoves every single time, but before these spiritual stoves were truly absorbed, they would remain masterless objects. And that was to say, even if one had temporarily absorbed a spiritual stove, in case he died, the spiritual stove would regain its freedom. Ling Xiao had told them about a story that had happened once, around three hundred years ago, when the Illusory Paradise had opened. At that time, differences had risen among the people from the Temple Alliance, and they had resulted in an intense battle. That time, a change had happened in the Illusory Paradise, and that change had started on the second day, ending with only two people who had returned alive. Furthermore, Ling Xiao had told them sincerely that the best method of gaining a spiritual stove in the Illusory Paradise was rather to gain the approval from the magical beast acting as its guardian. This dependable method would also enable the humans inside to avoid infuriating the Illusory Paradise. However, this time it didnt end so peacefully. The demons ughter was bound to enrage the Illusory Paradise. Perhaps the spiritual stoves they already gained were not few, but in case a change appeared on the second day, only those possessing Illusory Gems like Long Haochen or Caier would be able to leave prior to the end of the period of three days. Long Haochen gathered hisrades, including Zhang Fangfang, and talked with them about the possible changes Ling Xiao had told them about. Since the situation is like this, I estimate that the Illusory Paradise will very likely show some changes. In case this happens, we will also face an incredible crisis. Since we have already obtained four spiritual stoves, if we leave this ce now, it can be considered a fruitful trip. But in case we stay, we will very possibly be unable to leave even if we want to do soter. We will have to wait for the end of the three day period to leave. Should we leave or stay? Decide, everyone. Of course we should stay. This is an opportunity that arises only once a century! Who would not be willing to take a risk to gain some more spiritual stoves? Lin Xin said without any hesitation. Sima Xian twitched his mouth, saying with disdain, What a miser you are! However, I also think we should stay. Everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad soon came to the same decision. They wanted to stay. In the end, everyone finally looked at Zhang Fangfang, who dered with a smile, Since you all have decided to stay, I will very possibly be able to obtain a spiritual stove, so I am naturally willing to risk my life with your noble group. Although I feel that staying is a dangerous choice. Zhang Fangfangs greatest quality was his sincerity. Long Haochen could feel that he was a straightforward person and spoke from the deepest parts of his heart, thus he had acknowledged him since long before. Thats right, choosing to stay was undoubtedly quite dangerous. But Long Haochen was also inclined to make this choice, and it was for a simple reason, they had a way out. It wasnt the Illusory Gem, but the Tower of Eternity. As long as Long Haochen was given enough time, he would be able to take hisrades covertly inside the Tower of Eternity to get them to survive in case of excessive danger. By the end of their time in the Illusory Paradise, he would just have toe back with Caier to leave for the exit. For this reason, no matter what kind of danger they met, they would have a way out. Slightly pondering, Long Haochen took out his Illusory Gem, handing it to Zhang Fangfang Brother Zhang, we can at least be considered good friends. You are above us all in standards, but didnt take ount of our former enmity and even assisted me several times. Take this, it is an Illusory Gem. In case you encounter a danger you are unable to resist, no matter in which state the Illusory Paradise is, you can get transported back by relying on this Illusory Gem, getting away from the danger. Zhang Fangfang showed some surprise, Something like this exists? Youre giving it to me, but isnt it of use to you too? Long Haochen smiled calmly, Although Brother Zhang didnt say it out loud, I know that you have some doubts deep inside why my team is here with me. However, this is the secret of my team, and I cannot tell you about it. But what I can tell you is that since I managed to bring them here, I can bring them out as well. Be at ease, this Illusory Gem is something you have to take. It can be used to save your life at the most crucial time. Zhang Fangfang muttered to himself irresolutely, Okay, then I wont be overly modest. Then, he took the Illusory Gem with crity. After they finished eating their rations and started to rest, unfortunately, a change happened in the whole Illusory Paradise. The surroundings flickered as it seemed that the fog covering the boundless forest became thicker, until condensing into dots of light spreading in all directions. Slowly, the Illusory Paradises illusory feel was reced by a sense of reality, and the life energy became stronger from that. However, a somber and deste atmosphere arose. Daybreak. When the first signs of the morning light started to show, Long Haochen jumped up with rm. Before starting to rest, they had nned for everyone to take turns to hold vigil, and the one currently keeping watch was Lin Xin. However, he was currently staring up, as if looking at an inconceivable sight. His sound of rm had immediately woken up everyone, who stared at him, unable to hide their absolute shock. Their shock was due to the changes in the sky. There, they saw a dense multi-colored cloud float, encircled by a soft fluctuating energy. This dazzling magic cloud was very moving, and from its core, a colored luster slowly dropped down. Even the radiance of the sun became softer because of that magic cloud. And all the life energy inside the Illusory Paradise seemed to rotate around it. Is that a spiritual stove? Zhang Fangfang cried out in astonishment. In the midst of that magic cloud was a glint of light that appeared evenrger than those released by the other twenty spiritual stoves they had seen the day before. And from this, it could be seen how abnormal this spiritual stove waspared to others. Unconsciously, all looks focused on Long Haochen. The most knowledgeable in the group regarding spiritual stoves was him. However, all they saw was a bitter smile from Long Haochen, I dont know about this spiritual stove either. Out of everything my father had told me about spiritual stoves, there was nothing like this. If this is really a spiritual stove, then there can only be one exnation. This could be one that has never appeared in the continent before, a brand new spiritual stove. Shock was reflected on all faces. They were in fact all Demon Hunters, and remembered as such an unbound rule in the Demon Hunt Mission Tower.The feat of discovering a new type of spiritual stove that had never appeared before alone would be rewarded with a hundred thousand contribution points. From its first issuing to now, this mission had only beenpleted five times, and this was a mission that had existed since the very beginning, going on from generation to generation. No one would know about the power of apletely new and unknown spiritual stove, but since it appeared in the Illusory Paradise, and moreover by its own, how could this multicolored spiritual stove possibly be weak? What are we still waiting for? Lets head out! Chen Yinger said with excitement and full of impatience. No, wait. Long Haochen stopped the others that had started to get restless, Dont you find this very strange? Mh? Everyone looked at him. Han Yu said with a serious tone, It appears very strange indeed . Yesterday, Captain told us that some change would very possibly appear in the Illusory Paradise, and today, such a mystical scene appeared in front of us. Perhaps this is really a spiritual stove, but it may also be an enormous trap to lure us. Zhang Fangfang nodded in response, I agree. How could we be attracted to fight each other without a sufficient enticement? Even if the Illusory Paradise didnt set any traps, this multi-colored spiritual stove moving so slowly in the sky, with its location being in full sight, we will not only meet our allies there, but also some demons for sure. Haochen, whats your opinion about that? Long Haochen looked at the multicolored brilliance moving slowly down from the sky. After pondering shortly, he dered, Going there is unavoidable, even if its only to save our fellowrades who came here with us. However, I need to warn everyone once again, if you run across some powerful magical beast, no one is allowed to attack it. Even if they take the initiative to attack us, we have to stay on the defensive. This is an important directive, that no one can ignore. Otherwise, it will very possibly waste all our previous efforts. Hearing the serious tone of Long Haochen, the others nodded in session, expressing their approval. After a short time of pondering, Long Haochen had Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu stay together, handling the defense in the rear, while the rest of the formation didnt change. Under his lead, everyone headed directly in the direction of that multicolored mass descending to the ground. After advancing for less than a hundred meters, Long Haochen suddenly stopped in his tracks, Has anyone found traces of those colored patches of fog? They seem to have disappeared. Everyone looked around and indeed, the very peculiar shining patches of fog glowing in all colors had all disappeared. The surroundings only looked like a huge ordinary forest with a rich vegetation and nothing more. Long Haochen dered in a deep voice, It looks like we werent mistaken, a change is really happening in the Illusory Paradise. Boss, what should we do? Sima Xian asked. Long Haochen lifted his hand, handing Bright Discipline to Han Yu behind him, as he took out the Glorious Holy Shield for himself, We still have to advance. Dont forget what I said before, no one is allowed to attack the magical beasts. Caier followed behind Long Haochen all along, observing his confident lead with a gentle look. As expected, her intelligence and her perception were no lower than Long Haochens. However, she just willingly acted as support for him. She wouldnt meddle in his decision unless Long Haochen was doing a fundamental mistake in his lead. Trust was after all built during this kind of difficult experiences. This was a perfect example of something appearing to be seemingly close, while actually being very far away. In truth, they travelled for a whole hour in pursuit of this multicolored cloud, but were still unable to discern traces of the pieces of light falling into the forest. Chapter 326 - A spiritual stove that had never appeared before (II)

Chapter 326: A spiritual stove that had never appeared before (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, the surrounding changes were very visible. They clearly sensed that the atmosphere became gradually more solemn, and at the same time, the life energy didnt seem as soft as before. Houu. A deep and low thundering sound echoed in front of them, and suddenly, an immense figure rushed straight at Long Haochen. This figure jumped from a tree above, and appeared so suddenly that even with his superior senses, Long Haochen didnt notice its presence in advance. Dont move, everyone! Stepping forward, Long Haochen took out the Glorious Holy Shield, holding it vertically. With a loud bang, Long Haochens body was propelled backwards, and both of his feet left deep marks on the ground. However, that massive ck silhouette bounced back as well,nding nearby. The intense light released from the technique Bright Vengence shone brightly on Long Haochens figure, as he, without any intent to attack, recovered Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light from his other hand. Dont worry, my friend. Long Haochen did the best to let his own voice sound the gentlest possible, as he looked at that three meters tall figure. This was actually the first magical beast they had encountered before, the massive gori. The gori clearly had a look filled with ill intent, but staring at Long Haochen, he let out an appeased roar. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating flew up to him, whispering something in the goris ears. Long Haochen didnt understand the beastnguage, but Yating understood his words. Thus, he immediately told her, Yating, tell this friend that we dont have any evil intent. We only felt the changes on the Illusory Paradise, and believed that ourrades could be in danger, thus came here to help. Yating rapidly tranted Long Haochens words to the gori, who slowly walked in front of Long Haochen, doing a thumbs up gesture like thest time. Long Haochen didnt have any hesitation to push his own hand against his finger, showing an honest expression. He vaguely understood that the gori was able to sense the intentions in its enemies hearts through some method. Long Haochen truly didnt have any evil intent, and being the innately kind-hearted Scion of Light, he was purely filled with clean thoughts, to the point that probably no one among all humans couldpare to him in that regard. A short timeter, the loathing and angered look in the goris eyes vanished gradually, as he nodded in Long Haochens direction before heading back to the depths of the forest. Yating immediately transmitted to Long Haochen the message to follow him. Under Long Haochens lead, everyone rapidly followed the gori, heading in the dense forest. After walking for less than a hundred meters, they saw some formidable magical beasts with visibly irascible looks, who immediately showed aggressive reactions upon seeing Long Haochens group of outsiders. It was a chance that they had that gori to lead the way. With a low bellow of his, all the hostility towards Long Haochen vanished. Looking at the magical beasts around him, Long Haochen noticed to his astonishment that these magical beasts were all around the seventh or the eighth rank in strength. There werent any especially powerful existences among them, but their strength resided in their quantity, as they were close to twenty in number. On top of that, these magical beasts were advancing in the same direction as them, towards the multicolored shiny cloud. Looking at Long Haochen, Zhang Fangfang couldnt help but be filled with respect. The experience they had right before vindicated Long Haochens choice. What had astounded him the most was that Long Haochen had actually established a peaceful rtionship with those extremely fierce magical beasts, and clearly obtained their acknowledgement. No matter what, this was something he couldnt even have thought of. In truth, this was the first time someone obtained the true acknowledgement of the magical beasts from the Illusory Paradise like Long Haochen did. The process of how he achieved this was however actually pretty simple; first, he made the right choice to treat the magical beasts as well as the environment in the Illusory Paradise with respect, nevermitting any destructive act. This way, he at least hadnt roused any ill will from the magical beasts. As for the second point why he had gained its acknowledgement, it was simply due to the physique Long Haochen had as the Scion of Light. What was acknowledged by the Illusory Paradise was not simply the status as Scion of Light possessed by Long Haochen, but the status as Scion of Nature which was extremely rarely seen, and enabled the bearer to reach the utmost level of harmony with nature. Undoubtedly, the existence of a Scion of Nature was even less probable than that of a Scion of Light, but it didnt mean that it hadnt appeared before. The previous Scion of Nature to appear was the founder of the Illusory Paradise, the goddess of nature. Thus, she should be called Daughter of Nature. Following possessors of a physique such as that of the Scion of Nature, the next ones to follow in the ranking would be the two most rted to the energy of life, water and light. Those were even above the wood and earth element in importance. As the Scion of Light, Long Haochen naturally showed concern towards the Illusory Paradise, and the test given to him by the gori was a test the Illusory Paradise itself gave to him. After passing it by relying on his sincere nature, he had gained the acknowledgement of the Illusory Paradise and all its inhabitants. Since they managed to blend with the inhabitants of the Illusory Paradise, this implied that the rather weak group of Long Haochen gained the support of the Illusory Paradise. This thought didnt cause Long Haochen to rx. It instead increased his worries towards the rules of the Illusory Paradise even further. After a day of contact, he discovered that although the Illusory Paradise restricted the strength of its visitors, it also restricted the strength of the residents in the same way. Otherwise, given the massive life spiritual energy in the Illusory Paradise, how could it be that no magical beast had reached the ninth or the tenth step? Although these magical beasts werent few in quantity, could they really resist a group as strong as AhBaos? Long Haochen had personally experienced the formidable strength of AhBao, and clearly understood that he had only managed to injure AhBao because of the element of surprise. But in an open one against one battle, Long Haochen actually wouldnt stand a chance against AhBao. It could be said that because of their own secrets, AhBaos strength was in fact not that strongly restricted by the rules of the Illusory Paradise. With the addition of Long Haochens squad, perhaps they could resist them as a group, but if the demons were determined to attack the magical beasts ranks to get the multicolored spiritual stove, it would be a hard task to defend themselves. Under the lead of the gori, they gradually prated into the denser jungle, and less than half an hour after their entrance, strong fluctuations of spiritual energy already affected Long Haochens senses. The battle had started, and it felt extremely intense. However, the most critical part was that he sensed no other existence except from those of darkness and life spiritual energy. Long Haochen clearly understood what this implied. It most likely meant that from the original Alliance group, only Caier, Zhang Fangfang and he himself were still alive. The darkness energy unmistakably belonged to the demons, and no matter which element the magical beasts of the Illusory Paradise had, they all possessed a strong amount of life energy. With the support of the Illusory Paradise, Long Haochens judgement couldnt be mistaken. After passing through arge forest of shrubs, the battlefield appeared in front of them. It was set on a little hill, surrounded by hundreds of magical beasts. The most surprising thing was that these magical beasts were absolutely not frantic, but instead appeared very organised. They didnt even produced the slightest sound or superfluous noise of rage. On the other side was naturally the demon group. AhBao appeared once again in Long Haochens line of sight, his injury already healed. Even the demon that the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad had heavily injured, had recovered as well. After a simple count, the total number of demons present was nine. That was to say that with the exception of the fiend, who had used the blue mes and had been killed by Long Haochens group, the demons didnt suffer any losses even after the past day of trial. And, they all had assimted spiritual stoves. So everyone else is dead without exception? Behind him, Zhang Fangfang revealed a bitter smile. In fact, this time, there had been a lot of captains frommander grade Demon Hunt Squad among the Alliances group. The death of seven of them would be a severe blow to the Demon Hunt Squads. The present situation was very clear. The objective of AhBaos group was to reach the hundred meters tall hill, and the magical beasts bravely blocked their way forward. The battle was extremely fierce, and although the magical beasts couldntpare to the demons in individual strength, their coordination was extremely good. They were neatly organized and surrounded the demons from all sides. Their cooperation was the determining factor in blocking the demons way. The gori let out a furious roar, looking back at Long Haochens group before rushing to the hill. Long Haochen and hisrades followed with haste. Because the gori was opening the way, roaring lowly, the magical beasts battling the demons didnt block their way. As they appeared, Long Haochens group naturally attracted AhBaos attention. Seeing them, he actually went straight for the mountain. Determination filled AhBaos eyes. Transforming his arms into a pair of dragon ws, he tore a magical beast to shreds, leading the other eight to charge at great speed. Right at that time, a resonant sound was clearly heard on these hills, and the attacks from the magical beasts instantly became a lot fiercer. With united strength they forcibly drove the demons back to their original ce. On the top of the hill, a six or seven years old looking girl emerged. Shehad a cute jade-like appearance. Her skin looked fair, and her most noticeable trait was her baby-face. Her long light blue hair was braided into twintails, and with a slight movement of her hand, she pointed her tender finger downwards. As she spoke, her voice sounded quite frail. Shesmanding the magical beasts? Long Haochen looked at this youngdy with shock, following the gori to the peak of the mountain. The smell of life energy was even more vigorous here, and came with an exuberant feel. That beautiful youngdys face was however filled with anger, and her big dark green eyes were filled with great determination. Chapter 327 - A spiritual stove that had never appeared before (III)

Chapter 327: A spiritual stove that had never appeared before (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The gori came to her side, naturally looking at her with a lot of confidence, letting out a low shriek. Hearing the gori, the youngdy turned her head to look at Long Haochens group. Her gaze wandered over every member, stopping at Long Haochen only a secondter. Her dark green eyes were immediately filled with an intense shock. Human, youre the Scion of Light? The young girl said these words in a very clear voice. Long Haochen nodded, Hello, little sister. We havee here to help you. What do you need us to do? He didnt immediately give the others the order to join the battle, because he could see that this young girl had a good control over the battlefield. Under her lead, the casualties among the magical beasts were optimally minimized, and the demons were surrounded in an efficient way. In this situation, their addition would perhaps not be beneficial. The little girl revealed a happy smile, replying, Finally, there are some good news. Thats perfect. Scion of Light, protect me for now, please. Lets talk after I turn this filthy group into nutriments for the Heavens. Okay. Long Haochen gave a straight reply. He took position near the young girl, and watched the battle in the distance from the hilltop, while giving simple orders to have hisrades cultivate. I am Long Haochen. You can call me directly by my first name. Long Haochen told her with a smile. As the girlmanded the battle, she turned her head and replied, I am Ye Xiaolei. Although I dont really like this name, it has been chosen by my older sister for me, and I cannot change it. You can call me Xiaolei. After saying this, her voice turned odd, issuing a series of orders. The magical beasts below once again changed their formation, increasing their aggression. At that moment, magical beasts kept joining the battle on the hillside. It looked like the nine demons wouldnt were pressured hard. And furthermore, their battle power would be consumed as the battle kept going on. Zhang Fangfang stood on the side, tightlypressing his lips. He was currently filled withplete shock. It was the same for the others who also had unusual expressions on their faces, asionally peaking a nce towards the young girl. The reason for this was simple, it was because that so-called Ye Xiaolei girl emitted a faint multi-colored radiance. But except from her, no other multicolored existence was on this hilltop. _Could she be the multicolored radiance that descended from the sky?_ Zhang Fangfang had another issue he was puzzled over. Why would this young girl call Long Haochen Scion of Light? It could be said that they already held a considerable advantage because they were on the side of the Illusory Paradise! But how did Long Haochen manage to achieve this so smoothly? The battle kept going on, and Long Haochen cautiously watched Ye Xiaoleismand. Although he didnt understand thenguage used by Ye Xiaolei, he could determine hermanding patterns. Ye Xiaoleis orders were actually not thatplicated. First of all, she made these magical beast act as a whole, just the same as an army in battle, not letting them break ranks. This way there wouldnt be any meaningless sacrifices. On the frontlines were magical beasts with astonishing defensive strength that could meet force with force, attacking the demons head-on, whereas the magical beasts on the rear were adept in magical attacks. This sort of battle formation was the same as the one used by humans. More importantly, when the magical beasts in the front received severe wounds, Ye Xiaolei would immediately order them to draw back and retreat to the rear, joining some magical beast specialized in healing. Conjuringyer uponyer of green radiance, they would quickly heal the wounds, before the recovered magical beasts would return in battle. Every time a powerful ability wasunched by the group of nine demons, Ye Xiaomo would then put all her energy into ordering the magical beasts to retreat orunch their own wildest attacks, to either evade, block, or break through the enemies abilities. The group of nine demons couldnt be said to have such great coordination, but their individual strength was high. Even the strength of Yue Ye was a lot greater than in the past. AhBao was all the more powerful, to the point that the magical beasts were unable to cause any damage to him. But even under those circumstances, they were being held back, unable to break through the magical beasts ranks, and the damage they managed to inflict to the magical beasts was limited as well. Long Haochen had originally been unable to calm down, but with amander such as Ya Xiaolei here, even those strong demons had a hard time assaulting them. This was after all the Illusory Paradise, her home ground. However, Long Haochen also felt curious about the identity of this Ye Xiaolei. The multi-colored light she emitted implied that she was very possibly the origin of the multi-colored cloud of light which had been soaring in the sky. However, how was it that she was shaped like a human. Could it be that she At this point, Long Haochen felt some astonishment deep inside, thinking about the words his father had told him before, regarding the tiers of spiritual stoves. Long Xingyu had told Long Haochen that spiritual stoves were also ssified into tiers, epassing five different levels. Among them, the Saint Spiritual Stove Long Haochen possessed only reached the fifth, which was also the lowest one. The tiers of spiritual stoves were divided based on their utility as well as their might and potential for growth, and also their overall evaluation. The reason why the Saint Spiritual Stove was only at the fifth tier was that its particr nurturing ability had never been published by the Knight Temple, or else, it would very possibly have reached the third tier. The great majority of the spiritual stoves of the fifth tier were either defensive or support-oriented, but very few were offensive spiritual stoves. Generally, they only carried a single ability, and had merely a possibility of evolving twice. The Saint Spiritual Stove was the only exception to this among spiritual stoves of the fifth tier. In the opinion of a lot of people, the greatest utility of the Saint Spiritual Stove lied in its use by a user with a rtively low level of cultivation, acting as the core of his team. However, with the increase of ones cultivation, the Saint Spiritual Stoves utility will decrease. At the fourth tier, diverse spiritual stoves would be present. The overwhelming majority of them didnt only possess one ability, and this was their main difference with the spiritual stoves of the fifth tier. Spiritual stoves of the third tier also possessed two or more abilities, and were bound to reach a certain level of power in battle. The Saint Spiritual Stove Long Haochen possessed only had a pulling or attracting ability, whose ranges were also limited. They were effectful, but they couldnt be called really powerful. Caiers Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove belonged to the third tier. It was just that it had yet to evolve, which was the reason why the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stoves was at the moment only able to activate a single offensive ability. However, in case she managed to let it evolve, the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove would gain a great amount of strength. At the second tier were the most powerful spiritual stoves known to humans. Among the seventy-four spiritual stoves known in total, only seven reached this tier, each of which had at the least three abilities. Of course, their bacsh effects were also be quite severe. There were also some with a single ability among this tier, but it would be an ability with iparable power. Like for instance the Spiritual Stove which Caiers father possessed. Being able to get a spiritual stove of the third tier would let the users strength rise by a wide margin. As for a spiritual stove of the second tier, it was even known as having the ability of turning around an undesirable situation in times of war. And furthermore, the higher ranked the spiritual stove was, the more would it increase the users strength. If Sheng Lingxin had attained the ninth step of cultivation, even inflicting damage to demon gods among the top ten in the ranking wouldnt be impossible by using his Spiritual Stove of Return to Childhood. As for spiritual stoves of the first tier, only one existed at the present time, and it was Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Spiritual stoves of the first tier werent ssified as such for the number of abilities they possessed, but for the bursting power erupting when they were unleashed. The requirements for a spiritual stove to be ssified at the first tier were very simple, it only had to make up for two steps of difference. If a spiritual stove could permit its user to kill powerhouses two steps above their own cultivation, this spiritual stove would then be ranked at the first tier. Until this day, only Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara had managed to fulfill these criteria. Of course, its bacsh was also very well known to Long Haochen. At that time, when Long Xingyu had told Long Haochen about the five tiers of spiritual stoves, he had also told Long Haochen ast thing; that in legends, another type of spiritual stoves existed, which could even exceed the first tier. However, it had been said to have only appeared in legends. It had never existed in the history of the Temple Alliance, but it had been reported that once in the Glorious Era, the emperor of the most powerful of the three empires had possessed that kind of spiritual stove. In legends, that type of spiritual stove was known as intelligent spiritual stove. That was to say that the main body of the spiritual stove didnt take the shape of a heavenly treasure, but had a genuine living body, possessing advanced knowledge and intelligence. The possible evolutions for such a spiritual stove were unlimited, thus making its assessment hard. However, Long Haochen had assumed at that time that this kind of spiritual stove was only part of legends and nothing more. But it didnt mean that it couldnt appear. Looking at themanding Ye Xiaolei, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel secretly astonished. _Could this young girl be one of the legendary spiritual stoves Father spoke about?_ He couldnt ascertain it, but if this was true, Ye Xiaoleis identity wouldnt be hard to predict. The older sister she just spoke about would then be the founder of this Illusory Paradise, whereas she should be its guardian. Even with Long Hoachens disposition, he felt dazzled just by thinking about that. An intelligent spiritual stove, even surpassing Caiers Spiritual Stove of Samsara! However, he quickly stopped himself from having such thoughts. No matter what, he couldnt do anything detrimental to this young girl, and couldnt permit anyone to do so either. This feeling was truly sincere, and had emerged when Long Haochen had seen Ye Xiaolei for the first time. He didnt know where this feeling came from, but it caused a change in his own heart, bestowing smile on his face. It was a feeling that gave himfort and ease. However, it was only the kind of feeling one gets from aplishing good deeds. Not deeds one would do for the sake of some reward or to heighten oneself, but deedsing from the depth of ones heart. This would put one at ease, and set his mind at rest. Chapter 328 - Prophecy (I)

Chapter 328: Prophecy (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Just when Long Haochen was deeply pondering, a change appeared on the battlefield below. Completely suppressed by the magical beasts, the strength of the nine demons suddenly weakened, and the magical beasts attacking them suddenly pulled back. There was a simple reason for the sudden decrease in the strength of their attacks. AhBao suddenly showed signs of withdrawing, cing himself in the midst of his allies. His body was covered by an orange glint, and it looked as if the demon, who had been wounded by the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, was telling him something at the same time. His expression was as indifferent as before, but the orange spell was visibly not as peaceful. Be careful, they are most likely preparing something. Long Haochen told the nearby Ye Xiaolei in a low voice. Yeah. Ye Xiaolei gave a calm reply, but her expression immediately became extremely serious. Although nothing had happened yet, she also felt something was amiss. Even from such a distance, Long Haochen could faintly feel that the energy surrounding AhBao felt just like that of someone about to use a forbidden spell. That orange demons spell seemed to resist its activation, as if it wanted to reverse the situation on the battlefield. But at that time, signs of dispute seemed to appear between the two demons. _This is abnormal! If AhBao is the prince of the Devil Dragons, would his words really get refuted? Unless_ Be careful, they are probably trying to break the restrictions of the Illusory Paradise. Long Haochen said hastily. Right at that time, that demon mage was finally persuaded by AhBao, returning its attention back to the battle. Now, an orange radiance was released from their bodies. That orange color wasnt really intense, but it was strong enough to give a strange feeling. The breath of life seemed to freeze fazed by the appearance of that orange color. More astonishing, this radiance looked like its strength didnt exceed the ten thousand units of spiritual energy. How could this happen? Both Long Haochen and Ye Xiaolei seemed at a loss. They had felt the pressure of this orange radiance before, but how was it that it still remained within the scope of the restriction? Zhang Fangfang suddenly said, A Star Demon! That person is probably a Star Demon. Be careful, he is using the Technique of Great Prophecy. Hearing the words Great Prophecy, huge changes immediately appeared on Long Haochens face. The Technique of Great Prophecy was a powerful magic specific to the Star n, which only the Star Demon Gods direct lineage was able to use. It came with apensation so high that even the Star Demon God himself had to pay with a part of his life essence to use it. But without the support from the Demon God Pir, using the Technique of Great Prophecy would cost the user his life. The Technique of Great Prophecy didnt really belong to the magic category, but couldnt really be rated otherwise either. It could instead be called a godly technique. _Would the use of this technique enable him to avoid breaking the rules of this ce?_ Right at that time, Ye Xiaolei suddenly shivered at Long Haochens side. Immediately afterwards, the multicolored glow from her became more intense, and a tyrannical breath of life was emitted from her, spreading in every direction. At that time, Long Haochens group of eight noticed with astonishment that their own spiritual energy was instantly strengthened. This wasnt a simple restoration of spiritual energy, but their spiritual energy was just increasing in the same way as if they were cultivating. Long Haochen, Caier and Zhang Fangfang were better off, and the three of them felt with a nice surprise an increase of their own strength at a rate of ten units of spiritual energy per second. In a few seconds, their spiritual energy had already risen hundreds of units. But the other five felt totally different. Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Han Yu and Chen Yinger were currently at the peak of the fifth step, and this sudden increase of spiritual energy caused them to feel that the bottleneck that had been limiting them was being shaken. As intelligent people, how could they not grasp such an opportunity? Immediately rushing their spiritual energy, they made an all out effort to break through. The breath of life released from Ye Xiaolei wasnt only powerful, but also gentle, and was easily epted by any existence of a different attribute than death and darkness. Absorbing such a massive breath of life was the same as absorbing an elixir, causing an instant burst in strength. Even to a powerhouse such as AhBao, resisting this would take some time and effort. Without a doubt, Ye Xiaolei started to go all out after sensing the crisis. However, on the other side, that orange light also looked increasingly intense, and in the sky, arge orange star-shaped pattern appeared, carrying intense and strong glitters of stars. Every time it glittered in the sky, Ye Xiaoleis face would look somewhat paler. Long Haochen, this technique of Great Prophecy is sealing me. The seal willst for an hour. Protect me, just for this hour. When I throw it off again, they will all die. Ye Xiaoleis frail and childish voice was filled with rage and determination, but she slowly sat in a cross-legged fashion, ced her palms together on her chest and shut her eyes. At that time, the breath of life from her increased severalfold, turning into the shape of a green ring of light spreading onwards. A sort of moaning sound came out from Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Chen Yinger and Han Yu, and pairs of spiritual wings extended from the five of them for the first time. This was the crucial time of their breakthrough, the opening of their spiritual cavities. The gift Ye Xiaolei offered them was invaluable, helping the five of them to break through the bottleneck of the sixth step. If they had cultivated normally, even several more months wouldnt necessarily have been enough for them to aplish this. However, at the time she released the green ring of light, Ye Xiaoleis body was surrounded by an orange light, sealing her inside and stopping all the aura from surging out. The Technique of Great Prophecy was an extremely powerful godly technique, of incredible and various uses. With such immensepensation cost, how could its power becking? Simply said, if it was used on an ordinary person, and if the chosen prophecy was death, it would just cause immediate death. But Ye Xiaolei was not an ordinary person. At that time, even the technique of Great Prophecy used on her could only temporarily seal her and nothing more. At the same moment the seal closed, a loud bang suddenly erupted on the demon that used the technique of Great Prophecy, echoing in the air. As a rain of blood sttered in the air, dozens of magical beasts rushed forward like arrows. This was the great cost that came with the technique of Great Prophecy. However, relying on it could undoubtedly change the whole situation on the battlefield. Along with his death, two soft spiritual stoves as well as an orange Crown of Heritage were set free. It was clearly the sign of his status as a Star Demon as well as his reaps from this travel to the Illusory Paradise. AhBaos face became grave and stern, but this was absolutely not because he was moved by hisrades death. It was by swearing an oath that he had gotten this ally to use the Technique of Great Prophecy at the crucial time. Although the cost they paid was considerable, if they managed to obtained Ye Xiaolei that stood on top of the mountain, it would have been worth it. It was not just him, but even the Demon God Emperor would covet Ye Xiaolei. The demons didnt spare any cost to attack the Southern Citys Mountain Pass, also devoting a lot on this trade with the Temple Alliance. For them to dispatch ten demons to enter the Illusory Paradise, there had only been one goal, and that was Ye Xiaolei. The Temple Alliances side believed themselves to have the advantage in this trade, but they didnt know that Ye Xiaolei was of utter importance to the demons, and particrly to the Demon God Emperor. However, this secret was only known to the Demon God Emperor and AhBao, who shared a father and son rtionship. Having lost Ye Xiaoleis lead, the magical beasts attack became frantic. Filled with wrath, they initiated mad attacks at the demons. Although they contained a great level of strength, after the loss of their coordination, their efforts became fruitless. A purple glow was released from AhBaos eyes, enveloping the seven of them in its range, and all of the group was immediately surrounded by a purple ck haze. However, no matter whether it was in terms of attack or defense, they immediately reached their peak condition, and started to do carnage. The magical beasts that came in contact with AhBaos powerful limbs became unceasingly torn to shreds, and from his chest emerged a ck longsword, which wasnt grasped in his hand, but autonomouslyunched attacks while floating in the air. With every attack from it, a magical beast would be killed. This great might became the vanguard of their attack, until reaching the hillside. At this point, all that was left were the limbs and corpses of the magical beasts. Long Haochen and his group stood motionlessly on the hilltop. Zhang Fangfang looked at Long Haochen with some anxiety, but didnt say anything The current Long Haochen had a very serious face, but still looked unflustered, not showing any signs of acting. The battlefield underneath was in total disarray, and the group of eight demons started to make a breakthrough, but Long Haochen couldnt act yet. Five of them still needed time to adapt to the changes after their breakthrough, having gained the boost from the spiritual cavities and the spiritual wings. And furthermore, given how frantic the situation below was, even if they joined, they couldnt do very much. Because of Ye Xiaoleis sealing, the magical beast were totally out of their minds with rage. Joining the melee could even be regarded as an enemy attack by them. The breath of life released by Ye Xiaomo had caused a good increase to their total amount of spiritual energy, in addition to having helped Lin Xin and the other four to break through to the sixth step. Now they had to return this gift. And furthermore, even if not for that, Long Haochen would still give priority to the protection of hisrades. He had made his preparations well, and if things didnt go as nned, he would bring Ye Xiaolei along with them to the Tower of Eternity. Of course, that was just thest resort. Unless it reached the point of no return, he would absolutely not do so, for the simple reason that although the Tower of Eternity had holy properties, it was still filled with energy of death. It was impossible to predict which effect entering it would have on her. Chapter 329 - Prophecy (II)

Chapter 329: Prophecy (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen turned his head to look at Zhang Fangfang, telling him in a serious tone, Brother Zhang, if things dont go well, just activate the Illusory Gem and leave, we have our own ways to return. Zhang Fangfang nodded in response. Seeing Long Haochen, he understood that this young captain had a card up his sleeve, and had at least an escape n ready. This was rted to the other partys secrets so he naturally didnt ask. Seeing the battlefield below, Long Haochens expression was severe. After all, the magical beasts in the Illusory Paradise gained a burst of strength from Ye Xiaoleis boost, a group of them reaching the eighth rank, which was approximately equivalent to the strength of human powerhouses of the seventh step. Although they were mostly acting out of instinct, these hundreds of magical beasts were up against a group of eight, surrounding them and attacking fiercely. But even in those circumstances, the battle went as a one-sided carnage. Of the eight demons, AhBao was in the middle and his fighting style was simple and straight. The attacks of the magical beasts were totally useless against him, and he didnt avoid any, justunching his own attacks against them. All the magical beasts in front of him would hardly escape the fate of being torn to shreds. At the same time, he relied on his own strength to block the overwhelming majority of the attacks directed at him, ying the equivalent role as Long Haochens in his team. At his side were two sturdy demons, resembling one another but, they didnt have human appearance. From afar, they looked like Earth Dragons, but with smaller builds, only reaching two and a half meters in size, with long tail behind their back. However, the difference in build didnt mean they were any weaker than Earth Dragons in strength. In the opposite, their purely offensivebat methods were actually not that much inferior to AhBao. Their sturdy forearms and their horn forming an obtuse angle were life-destroying weapons, while their ck scales gave them an extreme defensive strength. Just by themselves, the three of them stopped all the attacks directed to their group. In the rear of the group of eight were three other close quarter warriors, among which Leng Xiao acted as the core. At the two at the sides of Leng Xiao were demons issued from variations of magical beasts. The first had an imposing build, appearing like a giant bear. From his body, deep yellow light was continuously released. At every rush from the magical beasts, he would energetically stamp on the ground,unching intense shocking surges of energy, causing evenrge areas of cracks to appear on the ground. On Leng Xiaos other side was a lion-shaped powerhouse with a human body, also extremely tough in strength. Yue Ye and another female mage were positioned between these two subgroups, releasing their magic from there. Although the core of the entire team was AhBao, its conductor was Yue Ye. The staff in her hands was exchanged for a deep purple one, and intense surges of magic spread continuously from it, giving the other demons a magic boost while healing them. The other demon female at her side was d in red, looking the same as a human, with the exception that her temper was a lot more fiery. Her figure was quite something, particrly her watermelon-like chest,bined with her slim waist and her rising butt. This figure reached a level a human wouldnt possibly be able to reach. On her hand were two coral-shaped staves, shaking in the air and dark red glows were continuously shot from it. All the magical beast victims of her attacks were pulverized with an extremely great power, and all she used were single-target attacks; norge scale attacks wereunched by her. The level of coordination these eight achieved could definitely not be called perfect, and obviously, it hadnt been for a long time since that they formed a team. However, under Yue Yes lead, they didnt have any loophole. But even if there was, their overwhelming dominance in strength would be enough to make up for that. After this short observation, Long Haochen discovered their secret. In fact, with the exception of Yue Ye and that red-d red haired girl whose identity was unclear, the other demons definitely reached a phenomenal level of external spiritual energy, reducing all of the magical beasts into a disadvantageous position. After the loss of Ye Xiaoleis lead, the attacks from the magical beasts gradually became more and more chaotic. This lump of frantic attacks lost all discipline, and without a brain to lead the armies, they ended up only being pushed by these eight demons. No matter how berserk their attacks were, they were still unable to stop the advance of the group of demons. Long Haochen was standing on the mountain top, still motionless, only asionally looking at Yue Ye. If he couldmand the magical beast, perhaps they could still stop the enemies like they did before, but he couldnt. All he could do now was to rely on the terrain to try to stall for time. An hour was a very long period of time, and under the influence of AhBaos spell, these demon powerhouses didnt feel the least exhausted, pushing forward every second. Every step they took forward, quite a few magical beasts blood and internal organs would scatter in the air. After the sealing of Ye Xiaolei by the Great Prophecy Technique, the reinforcements of magical beasts surging from all directions lessened. This was another piece of bad news. Caier calmly joined Long Haochens side, telling him in low voice, Should this be done? Although she didnt put it clearly in words, Long Haochen understood what she meant, and lightly shook his head in response, Now is not the time yet. Caier lowered her head, and didnt say anything more. Long Haochen turned back to Han Yu, doing a hand gesture to him. Han Yu immediately understood his meaning, and joined his side, stating the chant of a slow incantation. Meanwhile, Yating who was behind Long Haochen also started to chant. At this moment, the group of eight demons was gradually closing the distance between the hilltop. Of course, as they advanced, the attacks of the magical beast became even more frantic. With the rise of the danger facing Ye Xiaolei, they wouldnt shrink even if they had to sacrifice their own lives. A faint mantle of light spread from the mountain, shrouding the battlefield. Getting moisturized by this golden light, the injuries sustained by the magical beasts were immediately healed to a certain extent, and their power increased to some extent. Immediately, another even more intense surge of light was sprinkled, and even more magical beasts were healed to an even greater extent. This sudden boost and recovery made the group of magical beast even more ferocious, bringing the rush of the group of eight demons to a stop. These two spells naturally came from Long Haochen and Han Yu. Although Long Haochen wasnt capable of usingrge-scale healing magic, Yating could! Although she couldnt directly use magic by herself, she transmitted the spell to Long Haochen afterpleting its incantation. Ever since they met Ye Xiaolei, it seemed as if they had be a part of the Illusory Paradise, obtaining the full support from thetter. In these circumstances, everyone recovered their spiritual energy at a greatly elerated speed. Long Haochen turned around, calling Chen Yinger to join him and mumbling something in her ears. After staying sluggish for a short time, Chen Yinger nodded in response. The look she gave Long Haochen suddenly became quite different. Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan were already at either side of Long Haochen, prepared well. It seemed that the enemies were now only at a distance of a hundred meters, but this could be covered in a few dashes by a powerhouse. Healing spells started to emanate unceasingly from the mountain, and the magical beasts receiving its effects didnt only recover from their injuries, but also calmed down from their fric state. To them, the fact that healing magic was released from the top of the mountain implied that Ye Xiaolei was all right. And so long as they could maintain their own judgement, the powerhouses before them were nothing to fear. Long Haochen told Yating, Use thenguage they can understand to tell them that Ye Xiaolei is only temporarily sealed, and will need some time to liberate herself. Well need to dy the enemy for at least an hour. Yating nodded lightly, flying in front of Long Haochen and grumbling some words. Under the effects of the light essence, her voice was spread afar. Hearing Yatings voice, the group of magical beast immediately burst out in utter rage. The fact that Ye Xiaolei had been sealed by these enemies was to them a total disgrace. But their morale was instantly raised up, and supported by the healing spells from the mountain, the magical beasts attacks became more co-ordinated. It wasnt that Long Haochen hadnt thought aboutmanding these magical beasts with Yatings help, but in these circumstances, this would obviously not show very good results. This was because he was absolutely not familiar with these magical beasts, not knowing about their specialities let alone their names. If he reallymanded them, the group of magical beasts would perhaps be even more confused. Thus, what he could do was only to give these magical beast a healing support and to raise their morale. On the other side, Chen Yinger had at some point sat on the ground, with the little pig McDull sitting on herp. The girl and the beast seemed to bemunicating over something, and immediately, Chen Yinger took out some huge magical crystals, cing them in front of McDull. McDull appeared somewhat surprised, but quickly made up his resolve under Chen Yingers encouragement. Watching those magical crystal that were clearly at the seventh rank, he shut his eyes. Zhang Fangfang also joined the ranks of the healers, only, his healing spells were honestly speaking, far from reaching Han Yus level. After all, he had in his own team a specialized healer, and didnt need to give much investment to the field of healing as a Guardian Knight. However, he was after all a powerhouse at the peak of the sixth step, and was still capable of a simple Great Recovery technique. Thoughrge-scale healing spells were unfamiliar to him, single targeted ones werent. His series of Great Recoveries were aimed at the rather severely wounded magical beasts, and gave support to the magical beasts beside Yating and Han Yusrge-scale healing. With their help as well as the news that Ye Xiaolei was sealed, the magical beasts forcibly held back the eight charging demons. In particr, therge-scale healing abilities being of light element, their effects were no different from offensive spells in the demons eyes. Although it was unable to inflict real wounds to these demons, it still had the effect of weakening AhBaos boosting spell that all his allies benefitted from. Long Haochen gave a nce to the sky, before looking at Ye Xiaolei next, hardening his inner determination and resolve. This wasnt his first timemanding a battle that could be said to reach the scale of war, but this time was clearly the most dangerous. In case AhBaos group of eight reached them, it would be hard to say for how long they would be able to resist. At least for now their strength was still way far from their grasp. Chapter 330 - Prophecy (III)

Chapter 330: Prophecy (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, with so many powerful magical beasts, their side managed to block the main force of the enemies. One hour; all they needed was one hour. In a dim flicker of light, Long Haochen revealed an ice-cold look, looking right into AhBaos eyes. Their looks shed with each other in midair, as if producing countless sparkles. In terms of strength, Long Haochen was still far from an equal to him, but he was not the slightest bit inferior to him in temperament, and in particr, in terms of mental strength, Long Haochen was on par with the other party. AhBaos cold ce was concentrated on Long Haochen, but he was actually a lot more shocked than thetter. His eyes were focused on Long Haochens group over the mountain, that wasnt blocked the slightest by the magical beasts. To him, this had to be the conspiracy from the humans. The fact Long Haochen managed to bring so many people through the Illusory Paradise was already above his expectations, but he saw atop of that that Long Haochens group was clearly in perfect symbiosis with the magical beasts from the Illusory Paradise. Not only were they not attacked by the magical beasts, but instead had their support. This was the most important reason that caused him topel the other powerhouse from the Star Demon n into using the Great Prophecy. The arrival of Long Haochens group caused him to feel an intense surge of crisis. In case Ye Xiaolei fell into their hands, all their past efforts would have been for nothing. For this reason, he had no choice but to sacrifice an extremely importantrade, and to make use of an oath for that. At that moment, their distance towards the peak of the mountain was shrinking, and AhBao had a very clear view of the terrain. It appeared that Long Haochens group absolutely didnt know the importance of Ye Xiaolei, and that they just stood on her side. Their sole goal looked to be to stop them and no more. With this discovery, AhBao finally rxed. Although the magical beasts surrounding them were a lot, he still had confidence in being able to break through their ranks. Still having a deep impression from the wounds Long Haochen left on him the day before, although he felt the desire to make him yield, he still made the right decision at the crucial moment. However, this didnt mean that he didnt hold any grudge. On the contrary, considering he never had to suffer any wound for so many years, how could he ept the fact that Long Haochen was the one tomit this offense towards him. Giving a look to the top of the mountain, AhBaos attacks became all the more powerful. Although they slowed down, their group still steadily approached the hill. Yue Ye asionally looked to this hilltop. If one were to ask who was the most unsteady person in the battlefield, that would definitely be her. When she saw Long Haochen take part in that battle, she felt contrasted feelings. Actually, what she wished the most for was to see Long Haochens group emerge victorious. If Long Haochens group won, there wouldnt be any loss for her, but conversely, what if Long Haochens group was forced into desperate straits? Then, wouldnt she be the one to end up punished from that? That frightful girl, full of murderous spirit, was also here, and could take her life at any time. If they really managed to make it through, and if AhBaopleted his goal, she would be bound to an undoubtable death. _This wont do, I have to do something. That guy from the Star n said that his Great Prophecy would only persist for a hour. I have to help Long Haochens group to stall for time._ At this point of thinking, Yue Yes offense and hermand started to lose gradually in power. Not only that, but she did an extremely critical mistake, narrowly enabling a robust magical beast to break through their ranks. Immediately, the entire formation of the eight demons started to be in disorder to some extent. Yue Ye obviously knew that she had no real way to block the advance of the demon powerhouses, but given her intelligence, this was naturally done on purpose, as an attempt to tell Long Haochen that she was doing her best to help them. Yue Ye, what are you doing? AhBao shouted coldly, turning back and giving her a ferocious nce. Quickly, a purplish ck radiance fell onto Yue Ye, causing her aura to gain in strength. Her magical force was instantly restored to its peak. Thank you, Brother Bao. I am all right, be at ease Yue Ye told him in appreciation. As far as it went, the rtionship between Yue Ye and AhBao was very subtle. Strictly speaking, she didnt originally have any link with this brother Bao, but due to some total coincidences, although she should normally never have been able to meet AhBao due to her secret identity as a half-human, she came across him once. AhBao didnt know how this could have happened either, but among the countless beautiful demon women that were given for him to choose, the only one to his liking was Yue Ye. It was only that the matter of marriage between the two of them was totally impossible. The Devil Dragon n was extremely exigent in the matter of the purity of their bloodline, and generally, only members of the same n could be chosen as partner. Even if an outsider was taken as wife, she wouldnt be an official wife. If Yue Ye was just an ordinary girl, things would be better off and she would just be AhBaos woman. No matter from which n she would be from, this would be regarded only as a great honor, a glorious matter. However, Yue Yes father was the Moon Demon God, second among all demon gods! Given her position as the most beloved daughter of the Moon Demon God, how could she be made a mere concubine for AhBao? Thus, the two of them had a very subtle rtionship, and AhBao argued strongly on this matter with the Demon God Emperor many times personally. Perhaps it was a thirst for something he couldnt obtain, but he had the absolute resolution to gain Yue Yes heart, and even expressed his absolute will to make her his official wife. For this reason, the Demon God Emperor almost crippled him from the right of inheritance in an excess of rage. But unfortunately, the Demon God Emperor only had this one son, and if he were to do that, the throne could only possibly be given to Leng Xiao. It had been nearly two years that the two of them, father and son, fought over this matter. The first time Long Haochen encountered Yue Ye, Leng Xiao had actually been sent to bring a letter to Yue Ye from her brother. First of all, AhBaos strength was a result of his identity as the crown prince of the Devil Dragons, not only was he very powerful but also wise and farsighted, and dearly liked by the Demon God Emperor. Seeing the rtionship between the two of them, as a son and his father, being destroyed over a matter of marriage was something the Demon God Emperor waspletely unwilling to see. Although Leng Xiaos talent was also significant, it was still far from that of AhBao, especially since AhBao revealed such talenttely over the years, disying a podigious burst of talent stemming from his lineage as a Devil Dragon. Demons were different from humans, when a human sovereign would see his own son gain too much power, he would definitely try to reduce the strength of this crown prince to deepen his own ruling, but the demons were exactly the total opposite. Any demon ruler would be hoping to see his own son be all the more powerful the earlier possible, and the very best to him would be to see him have the ability to kill him for kingship. Thus, the Demon God Emperor had finally been persuaded by his son, and that day, it was for this matter of marriage that he came to look for the Moon Demon God. The Demon God Emperors deal was simple. He could let his son choose Yue Ye as a formal wife, but in this case, his son would have to pick two women of his own n as concubines, and would have to pledge to all his nsmen that his future sessor would be picked in priority among the sons of these concubines. Given how great the Demon God Emperors position was among all the demon race, being a little flexible like this wasnt much of a matter to him. Even if some disapproved, they would be suppressed by father and son, so this matter could already be said to be considered as fixed. Although the Demon God Emperor could be said to have reached these terms with his son, this move actually came with two gains. Not only would it satisfy his own sons desire, but it would at the same time further deepen the rtionship between the Moon Demon God and himself, securing even further his own position as the ruler. Because of these changes, AhBao managed to bring Yue Ye to participate along in this operation. Otherwise, given Yue Yes strength, the demons would naturally rather pick a more suitable individual than her. As for Yue Ye, did she actually like AhBao? No matter whether it was to the Demon God Emperor or AhBao, this matter was something the two of them had basically not even put in consideration. Even the Moon Demon God didnt give a thought over that. From their opinion, this was simply not of any consequence; after all, among all demons, was there even someone who couldpare with AhBao? It was actually because of the deep feelings that AhBao held towards her that Yue Ye felt fearless and dared make such a critical mistake. If this was someone else, perhaps AhBao would have just pped him without any reservation, but because it was her, he instead didnt spare any cost to heal her. _Brother Bao, you are really treating me well, but I wonder why, I just cannot fall for you. Perhaps I can be your wife, but I actually dont love you. In my heart, you are more of an elder brother, not a husband._ Yue Ye secretly thought that she couldnt keep doing mistakes forever either, as this would appear too conspicuous. After she returned to her normal state, the demons advance kept going in ordance. However, it could also be seen at that time that after battling for so long, the group of eight demons was starting to grow tired. Yue Ye turned her head to look over the direction of the mountain, giving a nce to Long Haochen who was standing there. The current Long Haochen was just single-mindedly staring at AhBao, not even giving Yue Ye a nce. Seeing him, Yue Yes eyes started to look a bit blurry. She didnt know either about her own thoughts about Long Haochen, but she could at least be sure that in her own heart, this young human knight appeared in a frequency that surpassed that of AhBao. Whats to be done? Just whats to be done for me in the end? Yue Ye secretly sighed. Even given her intelligence, she was currently confused. Long Haochen didnt know that Yue Ye was subject to such internal struggles, but seeing her previous performance, he naturally understood her intention. Long Haochen already made the resolve not to let this girl be sacrificed. Even if they had to be defeated in the end, he wouldnt sacrifice Yue Ye. This girl was very intelligent; having such an asset within demons was of great value. Caier also saw Yue Yes disy, but her look toward her became colder. This was because she happened to discern some hidden bitterness on her as she looked at Long Haochen. At that instant, she even had the instant urge to trigger the restriction ced on Yue Ye, and kill her. She was just a too powerful a threat. In terms of appearance, Yue Ye wasnt the slightest inferior to Caier, and even exceeded her in maturity. Chapter 331 - First Demon God Pillar?

Chapter 331: First Demon God Pir?

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Girls understood other girls the best, and the most sensitive to them were other girls. At that instant, Caier felt that Yue Ye didnt treat Long Haochen as a mere acquaintance. Although she had absolute confidence in Long Haochen, that feeling still made her extremely uneasy. Unconsciously, she drew closer to Long Haochen, and at that instant, Long Haochen happened to turn his head, Caier, listen to me. No matter what happens, you are forbidden to trigger the power of your spiritual stove, understood? If things dont go well, I will take my chance and use the Eternal Melody while bringing along Ye Xiaolei. Eh? Caier turned back, her face appearing a bit red. It was a good thing that she was wearing her veil, making her embarrassment not visible. _I Am I actually feeling jealous?_ Long Haochen asked with some surprise, Caier, whats up with you? Caier hastened to lower her head, I am okay, I will do as you say. Believing that she was worrying about him, Long Haochen held her tightly, Lets do our best. No matter how it ends up, we should at least try our best for the Illusory Paradise. Yeah. Caier gave a light response, the jealousy inside of her disappearing mysteriously along. _Thats right! Why am I even getting so insecure without any basis? Who would even be able to take him away from me? Hes my only one fool after all._ On the field, the battle was be increasingly more violent. When AhBao discovered that the strength of hisrades had started to plummet, he immediately came to the decision of stopping their advance. This way, their pressure wouldnt get reduced for some time. Meanwhile, one purple-ck gem after another came out from his chest, flying towards all of his allies. These purple-ck gems were of extremely great use to help elite demons to recover. After every one of them took one, their recovery elerated immediately. Lin Xin opened his eyes wide, Are those demon pills? I really want to get one to do some research. Wang Yuanyuan had an unhappy reaction, Go then. No one is stopping you. Lin Xin revealed a yful smile, How heartless from you! Yuanyuan, we are part of the same group. How can you have the heart to send amb like me in the tigers den. Wang Yuanyuan slightly smiled back, Okay okay, dont keep spreading nonsense. They are drawing closer and closer, prepare for battle. Long Haochen had brought forth his Glorious Holy Shield along with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. After taking those purplish ck gems, the eight demon clearly recovered their strength to some extent, and although the attacks from the magical beasts were still as fierce as before, they were also starting to be exhausted, and werent as bold and powerful as before anymore. Their numbers continuously went down as well. Without Ye Xiaolei, not only they lost their leader, but also their persistent support and sustenance. ording to their current speed, it would take AhBao at most ten more minutes. That was to say that Long Haochens group of eight would need to hold for more than half an hour, but was something hopelessly optimistic. Lightly touching the Eternal Melody on his neck, Long Haochen sighed secretly to himself. It looked like he would really have to make this choice. Of course, this was hisst trump card, that he wouldnt reveal unless it was absolutely necessary. Giving a look to Ye Xiaolei that still appeared enveloped in the orange cover, Long Haochen suddenly remembered something he told his father before: I want to be a Guardian Knight, because I want to protect those who are precious to me. Thinking about this, Long Haochens face clearly looked more rxed. _Come, since it hase to this, juste at me._ Some orders started to be issued from him, and everyone rapidly organized in a formation. Chen Yinger was seated right before Ye Xiaolei, together with her, and surrounded by the others, protecting them in the middle of formation. The little pig McDull seemed to have fallen asleep, and looked quite sound asleep. Long Haochen was the vanguard, followed by Zhang Fangfang himself followed by Han Yu. The three knights were unexpectedly standing in a row. On Long Haochens two sides were Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, and Caier disappeared gradually in the air. Lin Xin was at the rear, currently mumbling an incantation. Since there was the need for an incantation, he certainly wasnt using some offensive magic. Every step AhBao took would leave a deep footprint on the hills. His body was already multi-colored from the blood of the magical beasts, but both of his eyes appeared just as filled with gloom and emptiness as before, as if all this ughter was totally unrted to him. As the tiredness of his mates increased, the ck gems only needed a short moment to take effect, but increased the burden on AhBaos. Still, the strength he disyed became even more terrifying. Some damage appeared on the scales on his body; after all, it wasnt as if his body was unbreakable. However, his attacks also became all the more violent. After they passed halfway to the top of the mountain, the total number of magical beasts killed in the hands of AhBaos men was already over his own total. Corpses of magical beasts flew unceasingly, thrown by him in the air. And that odd magic sword was already retrieved, for the sake of sparing spiritual energy. In fact, although AhBao hadnt really yet reached the ninth step in strength, his internal spiritual energy still exceeded 50,000 units. In a state of continuous consumption, more than half of his total reserves were used up. Of course, this was because they were in the Illusory Paradise. In this ce, Long Haochens group gained a severalfold increase in recovery, whereas the demons couldnt get any energy to replenish, and could only rely on pills and techniques to recover their own spiritual energy. Even so, this didnt pose any challenge to him, still filled with confidence in winning. After the sacrifice of two of his teammates, who were also sessors of the Star n and the Fiend n, he had to seed no matter what. As long as he returned back with Ye Xiaolei, then no matter whether it would be the Demon God Emperor or himself, bing the future ruler of the whole continent would be no problem, or even to The distance to the hilltop was already close to fifty meters, and the gloom in AhBaos eyes gradually took shape, and on his body appeared a special aura, just like the aura that was full of light released by Long Haochen. This aura waspletely unyielding. When identifying a target, he would go all out to forge a path towards it, without ever cowering before it. Even with his head broken and blood flowing, this reality wouldnt change in any way. An incapable being, even as the son of the Demon God Emperor, wouldnt possibly be able to rule the demons and seed to the glory of the first demon god. As the distance was closing in, at the time they were about to reach the hilltop, a dark golden radiance suddenly erupted. That ck golden essence was truly overly massive, a thick pir of light that extended over five kilometers afar. At the time it appeared, all the light in the air instantly turned into darkness, and the instant of its appearance, it was as if the sun was being extinguished. The mountain range waspletely enveloped in this dark golden color, and all the Illusory Paradise seemed to be dark golden at once. Such a sudden change even brought shock to the faces of the both the eight demon powerhouses and to the magical beasts too. The magical beasts were just filled with shock, but their attacks were still just as rapid as before, but those eight demon powerhouses expressions changedpletely. Even the firmly determined and unyielding AhBao couldnt help but fall back at that time, totally bewildered at this sight. That dark golden pir rapidly linked the sky and the earth, and its surroundings were totally ck. The dark golden color released from it gave off a heaven-shattering might, filling the world with its light, making the changes on it appear all the more distinct. It was indeed really huge, to the point that even from these distant ces, its appearance could be recognized. On the entirely dark golden massive pir were countless strange symbols. More importantly, a massive golden dragon was crawling on this huge pir of light. This was clearly the symbol of the supreme ruler, the Demon God Emperor, his first demon god pir! His Highness! Its His Highness. The one speaking these words was the Earth Dragon-shaped demon on the left side of AhBao. He suddenly had a fanatical look, and the same went for the simr demon on the right side. These two went so far as to throw their heads onto the ground, immediately paying respect. Thats right, to demons, the Demon God Emperor was the absolute symbol. With him here, who would possibly be able to harm them? What could these weak magical beasts possibly do. It wasnt only the two of them that crawled onto the ground, but also the bear and the lion-shaped demon powerhouses on either side of Leng Xiao. Only AhBao, Leng Xiao, Yue Ye and that red-d red-eyed girl had bewildered looks filled with uncertainty. At the time these four demons finally crawled down to the ground, the magical beasts that were in a state of shock received a very simple order from Yating, in spiritualnguage, to attack! The attacks from the magical beasts erupted once again, and at that time, because the four demon powerhouses went bowing down, their entire formation was immediately broken. Bang. A fearful magical beast with the shape of arge elephant abruptly lifted up his paws, trampling fiercely on the back of one of the Earthworm-shaped magical beasts. Even with such powerful external spiritual energy, in such an exhausted state, in addition to feeling the shock from seeing the first demon god pir, he basically didnt have the time to defend. An ear-piercing sound of cracking bones resounded, and this Earth Dragon-like powerhouse had his chest entirely pierced with this stamping attack. Although he wasnt human-shaped, this was his vital part! At that time, his internal organs were made mincemeat, thus even a forbidden ranked healing spell wouldnt be able to save him. A look of disbelief drew on his widely opened eyes, and he murmured the final words, This Cant be Your Highness, why Discarding your own people The other Earthworm-like powerhouse was a bit better off, as AhBao saved him at the crucial time. Thats not his Highness Demon God Emperor, but an illusion! Be prepared for battle! Unfortunately, his instruction didnt make it at time, and although he did this rescuing act at time, the surrounding magical beasts were just far too numerous. The other Earthworm-shaped powerhouse had an arm and a leg crushed, and his chest and head also sustained a heavy blow, he immediately lost consciousness from the heavy blow. The demons on the rear were better off as Leng Xiao and Yue Ye reacted quickly. Yue Ye used a defensive spell at that time to protect that huge bear. It wasnt that she wanted to save him in particr, but the lion-type demon had a defense that couldntpare with the bear-type, thus saving him wouldnt necessarily be of use. The results were clear, the lion demon was torn to fragments by the demons, whereas the bear was saved, but lost a paw in the act, and with frantic counterattacks, Leng Xiao however barely managed to steady her position. This change just happened too fast, aiming at the group of eight demons. Even the very own son of the Demon God Emperor, AhBao, couldnt immediately react to that. On the hilltop, Zhang Fangfang looked totally dumbstruck. At the time the deep golden pir of light surged out, he was totally intimidated, to say nothing of the demons below. However, that dark golden pir immediately vanished to nothingness. The Demon God Emperor? There wasnt even a shadow of him. The small pig McDull appeared in Chen Yingers arms with a worn out face, immediately falling in deep sleep. That was exactly Long Haochens n, to have McDull imitate the Demon God Emperor appearance to distract the attention of the eight demon powerhouses. But the final results even exceeded Long Haochens expectations. McDull finally could be said to have failed his imitation, but even achieving the mere imitation of the appearance of the terrifying demon god pir belonging to the Demon God Emperor was just too hard a task. It took up three magical crystals of the seventh rank, and the imitation was just rough,sting for no more than ten seconds. In fact, McDull was supposed to only be able to imitate ones appearance, not his pressure and aura, or at least was it so with his current level of cultivation. But even so, this produced great results. However, the demon powerhouses were still taken in, and this was exactly because of the excessively majestic position of the Demon God Emperor to their race. It ended up with two dead, and two severely wounded demons, among one severely wounded. One was just unconscious, but the other had a hand broken. This was an extremely devastating blow to the whole demon groupmanded by AhBao. They had originally been advancing at a constant pace, but it took a mere instant to suppress them to such extent. At this point, they wouldnt be able to keep advancing, and furthermore, the magical beasts attacks became all the more violent, causing their group to be now unable to resist. Long Haochen was looking from beginning to end at AhBao, but he didnt immediately be optimistic just because of the present situation. Even a cornered beast would keep fighting on, to say nothing of the crown prince of the demons. AhBaos originally unexpressive look suddenly became iparably deep. The demons familiar with him understood that this was the sign that his rage was already reaching its ultimate peak. The appearance of an imitation of a Demon God Emperor was an utter disgrace to the demons, to say nothing that AhBao clearly couldnt ept the damage that happened before his eyes. The long purple-ck sword appeared once again, but this time, it appeared directly in AhBaos hand, while he carried his wounded ally in the other hand. However, his killing intent now reached an unforeseen level. Each attack of his now reached a peak level close to ten thousand units of spiritual energy, with the entirety of his external spiritual energy breaking out. The scales on his body continuously kept flickering in light. It could be said that AhBao managed to resist the attacks from the overwhelming majority of the magical beasts with only his individual strength. Right at that time, he suddenly let out a prolonged dragon cry, and his tall and thin build suddenly changed in response, at a great speed. Chapter 332 - Devil Dragon, Real Form (I)

Chapter 332: Devil Dragon, Real Form (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A prolonged dragon cry shook the whole field, apanied with a series of deep purple glows that abruptly spread out from AhBaos body, forcing the attacks from the surrounding magical beast to an immediate stop, while filling them in a temporary state of fear, causing them to draw back. Taking advantage of this asion, the remaining five demons that still had some fighting strength gathered together, and with another dragon cry ringing out at the same time as AhBao,ing from Leng Xiao. A heavy deep ck spread out from them, and at this time it could be seen the clear difference in their cultivation. The purplish ck released from AhBaos body was visibly a lot richer than that of Leng Xiao. That purplish ck sword floated form AhBaos hands during the time his whole body metamorphosed, scales erging, and thickening. His originally tyrannical just gained all the more substance. Although his internal spiritual energy didnt look to have increased, he still gave a strong sense of danger to everyone. Immense wings were spread out from his back, his four ws setting on the ground, as his majestic and fierce terrible appearancended in the midst of the mountain. Looking at the sky while echoing a dragon cry, AhBaos body expanded once again, and from head to tail, reached now a size over ten meters in length. Yue Ye slightly looked down, so that no one saw a flicker of hatred sh through her eyes. To her, no matter how powerful AhBao was, and how high his position within demons was, he was still in the end a Devil Dragon in truth. And that was to say that his current self was his true self. In contrast, Yue Ye regarded herself primarily a human; the Moon n was also very close to humans in terms of physique. This was all the more in her case who carried some human blood, and held some hatred deep inside towards the overwhelming majority of the demons. Moments before, AhBao gave that sessor from the Star n the order to use Great Prophecy, her original impression was that if one day AhBao encountered a threatening situation, even herself as his wife would get discarded in the same way. To the demons who only thought about benefits, this was highly possible. But would he actually do the same with his own wife? Girls always have a different way of thinking, and in such an intense battle, Yue Ye was however having a wild inner fight. And these thoughts kept surging in her like the spring bamboo after the rain, and then raised up her head again, looking all the more fervently towards a certain someone on the hilltop. Changes happened rapidly halfway up the hills, and although being ten meters tall, the Devil Dragon didnt not necessarily hold the advantage against the surrounding magical beasts, but his real strength wasnt something ordinary magical beasts of the seventh or eighth rank could possiblypare with. In particr, the boost they received from Ye Xiaolei was finally starting to disappear with time. With a dragon cry from AhBao, the purplish ck dark golden sword abruptly disappeared, directly falling onto his forehead and taking the shape of a long purplish ck horn. Opening his mouth wide, he let out a purplish ck breath to the front. With a loud bang, a violent explosion was produced, forcibly sending at least three massive magical beasts flying into the sky, before actually being disintegrated to nothing, as if melting instantly. After he let out this breath, it could be distinctly seen that the horn on AhBaos head was igniting like a ck me, the wings on his back pping abruptly in a rush towards the top of the hill. In the instant he pped his wings, he gave Yue Ye a nce downwards, nodding to her. Yue Ye obviously understood his meaning, shouting loudly, Be careful! These two words were truly enjoyable in AhBaos ears. Even trapped in a siege, seeing the concern of his beloved one set his fighting spirit further ame. This call was however not seen in the same way from Long Haochens ears, because AhBao whose back was facing Yue Ye didnt see that as she shouted this, her look was actually totally directed to Long Haochen. AhBao erupted with the further increase in strength after revealing his true body, as if returning to his original peak. Not only that, but the external spiritual energy now reached its ultimate peak. Although his internal spiritual energy was still peaked by 10,000 units, his physical power was now totally iparable with his human form. When the magical beasts blocking his way shed against him, they were directly reduced to pieces, and the horn on his forehead was especially unyielding. Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen calmly stamped on the ground, raising a light fog surrounding all his body. It was precisely Storing Power. It was not only him, but a simr fog of light also appeared under Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuans bodies. To a close quarter vocation, be it a warrior or a knight, the ability Storing Power appeared perhaps of very little use, but in Long Haochens hands, it could produce countless battle strategies. Sima Xian slightly stepped back, not storing any power, but the Energetic Ball of Light revolved around him at great speed. Lin Xins chant kept going on since back then, not stopping at all, and actually kept going on. From this, the level of difficulty of this spell could be clearly seen. His forehead was already soaked in sweat. Having just broken through the sixth step, this spell was truly challenging for him to use. While there were still no traces of Caier, Chen Yingers incantation started, her two hand holding the crystall ball as the Creature Summoning Gate started to open. The eight of them all had their specialities, but they were now all focusing on their strongest part, doing their utmost to resist the enemys attack. Zhang Fangfang was also staring attentively. Although he was capable of using Storing Power too, he actually didnt use that, but stood there calmly, staring at the magical beasts being frantically ughtered in front of AhBao. In a very special state, his body was rapidly covered in fluid, and in his left hand, his shield clearly gained a transparent appearance. This was Brilliant Body, symbol of a knight of the seventh step. Although Zhang Fangfang didnt reach yet the seventh step in strength, being at the peak of the sixth step, he could rely on his control over his spiritual energy to barely use this powerful knight ability. Closer; AhBao was drawing closer and closer. After returning to his original form, all the magical beasts present were now unable to stop his advance. Everyone knew about the massive pressureing out from him, but no one hesitated, knowing that their group would end up defeated the instant he would manage to capture Ye Xiaolei. AhBaos purplish ck dragon eyes were full of an endless cold and rage. The pressure he bore was far surpassing Long Haochens. Behind him, both Yue Ye and Leng Xiao would definitely not give up. Having lost so many of their allies, if they didnt bring Ye Xiaolei back, their reputation was bound to take an enormous blow, and their father would surely punish them severely. Under these circumstances, AhBao already didnt have any other possible choice, and could only go all out, believing in his own strength. How could mere humans from Long Haochens group possibly stop him? This waspletely impossible. By now, no thoughts of revenge appeared in his head, his only target being Ye Xiaolei. Finally, when his distance to the hilltop was close to five meters, the sound of his breathing could already be heard by Long Haochen. The instant he raised his head, it happened toe in contact with Long Haochens. This golden fog was something AhBao knew clearly about, and he knew what these humans were doing. But even so, what was so terrible about that. After he already passed through so much hardships, how could he becking anything to pass thisst resistance? Bang- The purplish ck mes from the horn on AhBaos forehead spread widely to his whole body, enveloping it entirely in mes. This was the signature skill of the Devil Dragon n, Defiance! Relying on this ability, he could increase for a short time his fighting strength. Although the rules of the Illusory Paradise still suppressed him very greatly, at the time these purplish ck mes spread, his body produced violent twists all around, actually temporarily shielding him from the regtions of the Illusory Paradise for a short time. This time would of course notst for too long, but to him, this was enough. The terrible purplish ck radiance that abruptly surrounded him around shook off all the magical beasts heading to him at once, and with another p of his wings, he faced Long Haochens without any fear. Long Haochen had been waiting very long for this. On his back, Yatings voice actually sounded somewhat rough because of the pressure she put on her incantation. The golden light on Long Haochens body finally condensed to form his pair of spiritual wings, letting him appear literally as the Scion of Light. Gripping the handle of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his two hand and firmly concentrating his energy on his right foot, Long Haochen did a hacking motion towards AhBao who was flying in his direction. This blow was extremely profound,unched as light flickered all around Long Haochens body, his whole being entering a state close to that of a spiritual being. At this instant, it looked totally devoid of threat and empty of power, but in the instant the attack was unleashed, all the surrounding light seemed to deepen, as if all the surrounding light essence was absorbed in his attack. At the time of this attack, it seemed that the only golden entity left was his body. In the air, a faint golden radiance spread out from the sky, illuminating Long Haochens body, and on his forehead, nine purple pattern appeared visible, but became totally golden a split secondter. This attack of Long Haochen wasnt only containing all his strength, but also the entirety of hisprehension. Faced against such a massive pressure, Long Haochen entered an extraordinary state. This simple attack seemed to transcend the entirety of the limitations ced in the Illusory paradise. Pam. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light shed against the horn of the imperial price of the Devil Dragons, AhBao, seemingly bringing the air to a standstill, and all the surrounding attacks from the magical beasts and people seemed to stop right at that moment. Chapter 333 - Devil Dragon, True Body (II)

Chapter 333: Devil Dragon, True Body (II)

None of the radiance spread out, but one could clearly see that the golden light on Long Haochens body and the igniting purplish ck mes on the crown prince AhBao extinguished each other at the same time. Even the light in their eyes lost its radiance at the same time, dimming significantly. Let alone the demons, even Long Haochens mates were dazed by this sight. No one expected that Long Haochens attack could persist against AhBaos. Bzz. A strange buzzing sound resounded from AhBaos forehead as well as Long Haochens sword at the same time. Countless specks of blue and golden light sprinkled in front of Long Haochen, condensing into countless brilliant rays in the air. On the other side, a wrenching buzzing sound could be heard from AhBaos head, and a crack spread from its apex Hou! As if suffering a fatal wound, AhBao abruptly shouted in pain, throwing his immense head up in the air in an excruciating frenzy. Right at that time, the attacks from Long Haochens mates reached him as well. Hitting him first was Wang Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul shield, the great axe-like shield carrying the threatening power from Asura Strike. Violently it mmed against AhBaos body. Having lost the protection of those purplish ck mes, a cut was forcibly inflicted on AhBaos body. Following that was the Asura Thrust from Han Yubined with Storing Power, and although AhBao did his best to defend himself, the wing on his left side was still prated by this Asura Thrust. Next, the Energetic Ball of Light struck with a thundering sound, shing violently against AhBaos body with a loud bang. The impact was strong enough to send his ten meters high body down to the ground. Crush and Ripples of Light were used by Sima Xian to their limit, and were additionallybined with other offensive abilities of a priest. On the ces AhBaos body was hit, scales were smashed to pieces, and the flesh beyond badly mangled. These were four fullpower stored attacks, right after the head-on collision with Long Haochen. AhBao seemed to have been forced into an extremely weak state, to the extent that all his abilities to defend disappeared. Thisbination alone managed to inflict heavy wounds. However, one had to admit that his willpower was truly unyielding. His inner determination was indomitable, and even in the instant his body was sent flying, a purplish ck crystal emerged from his mouth, not to attack Long Haochen, but aiming directly at Ye Xiaolei behind them. In the instant of the final explosion, AhBao felt perhaps himself sumb to the pressure, but he was still absolutely unwilling to admit defeat. Since he couldnt get the prize, no one would be allowed to get it. He had to destroy her, to destroy A pitch-ck figure appeared noiselessly in front of AhBao at this time, and countless ice-cold white glows mixed into her dark golden dagger. At once, ruthlessly prating into AhBaos nape, directly aiming at the center of his brain. Caier finally appeared, exactly at AhBaos weakest spot. This was the task Long Haochen had given her. Long Haochen had told her that, at exactly the time AhBao would get repelled, she would have tounch her attack. This strike was the result of the extremely hard work spent on revision and improvement. After breaking through to the sixth step of cultivation, Caiers Thousand Strikes Spiritual Strikes had also evolved, achieving its second level. The evolution enabled the words Thousand Strikes to finally take shape: this was thebination of thousand strikes as one. Relying on this attack and Caiers Despotic Stab, her offensive power reached its pinnacle. Among the Six Great Temples, the one with the greatest understanding of the demons weakest points was the Assassin Temple. The toughest part of a Devil Dragon was his head, but to kill one with certainty, the ce one had to aim was their brain. Only with a prating blow on their nape would one have the possibility to destroy the brain. Forced into a state of weakness, AhBao was abruptly hit by this piercing blow. He screamed as his massive body abruptly burst out with an indescribable surge of power. A crispy sound of shattering echoed, and a ck tile turned into fragments in the air. Immediately afterwards, an ancient force abruptly burst forth, forcibly sending Caiers body flying in the air, before her dagger had the opportunity of really prating his brain. On the top of the mountain. The instant Chen Yingers spell waspleted, her luck turned out pretty good and summoned a magical beast of the sixth rank. This magical beast immediately rushed forward to block that ck pearl, but only managed to stop it for an instant, before being incinerated to ashes. A zing light appeared brazenly, directlynding on the ground. This fiery light looked quite fantastic, taking on a human shape with a body made of energy. At the instant of its appearance, an indescribable force was set free. In his hand was a massive shield, even exceeding Wang Yuanyuans shield in size. Taking a firm bow, it blocked the attack. There wasnt any exploding sound, only a fantastic seismic wave formed out of spiritual energy, before that red figure dissolved in the air. This was something Lin Xin didnt spare anything to use, a defensive spell of the seventh step he managed to cast after taking one of his pills, Vulcans Shield! This was a spell blessed with a certain intelligence, but it still ended up being destroyed by that purplish ck pearl. Nheless, Vulcans Shield wasnt praised as the greatest defensive spell below the eighth step for nothing. After destroying it, the purplish ck pearl clearly looked dimmer in color, and was already less destructive. Wang Yuanyuan was the closest to Ye Xiaolei, and reacted without hesitation. She grabbed her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield tightly, blocking the path towards Ye Xiaolei. In truth, after having unleashed her entire strength with Storing Power, she didnt even have enough spiritual energy left to support her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Right at that time, everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad was already unable to help her in any way. Ever since unleashing that blow, Long Haochen seemed to have be frozen, petrified by the rebound, whereas Sima Xian, Han Yu, Lin Xin, Chen Yinger were allpletely exhausted by the use of their abilities. None of them would have been able to help out in the least. Caier was also in the midst of chasing after the most powerful enemy AhBao, and this just happened too fast. Who would have expected AhBao to actually use such a terrifying attack? Wang Yuanyuan clearly knew what she was confronting, but still blocked the path towards Ye Xiaolei. She couldnt let herrades effort turn to waste. She also relied on the Life Sharing effect of the Soul Linking Chains. She didnt even know whether her body would be able to bear the attack, but what if she died in battle? This girl with her boyish temper didnt ever have any fear. Right at that time, a tall figure suddenly appeared, emitting numerous rays of light. It stood in front of Wang Yuanyuan, and all she saw were wide shoulders. That was him! Wang Yuanyuan looked dazed, and next, the robust man in front of her was already knocked violently against her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, causing her to spout a surge of her own blood. It was precisely Zhang Fangfang who had appeared to block the attack aimed at Wang Yuanyuan. The shield in his hand was instantly shattered to pieces, while both of his hands holding it were also broken. One could clearly see his thick bones peaking out of the broken skin, revealing the shape of ten ruined fingers. Only mere fractured bones remained of his knuckles, and his arms uselessly dangled down,pletely paralysed. Even the armor before his chest was prated by the shattered pieces of his shield, and blood surged out madly from the severe wounds on his hands as well as his chest. With the pse of an intense golden light, Zhang Fangfang was pushing down Wang Yuanyuans body, his eyes growing wide at that time. This time, Wang Yuanyuan looked truly lifeless. She wasnt afraid of death at all, but it was the first time she experienced her life being saved like that. The instant Zhang Fangfang blocked the attack for her, she clearly saw the transparent light released from the shield in his left hand. This was Brilliant Body, showing that he was already close to the seventh step in strength. But even so, he had blocked the attack in such a desperate way. What if this purplish ck pearl had hit her own Divine Soul Shield instead? Right at that instant, an iparably imposing energy appeared in the Illusory Paradise, and the sky darkened at once. However, it only darkened for a short time, and an intense green radiance abruptly burst out from the ground, striking against this ck light. In the air, a crack appeared out of nowhere, from which a powerful pulling force instantly appeared, attracting the severely wounded AhBao as well as the few leftover demons. They were all attracted by this force, before disappearing. Goddess of Nature, I wille back to take your godhead. A soft voice filled the heavens with its majestic presence. This was a voice all the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad were familiar with. It was because this was the voice of the Demon God Emperor! He actually managed to forcefully tear open the barrier of the Illusory Paradise, and save AhBaos group. Seemingly provoked by that voice, the green light from within the Illusory Paradise became all the more rich, and the ck crack disappeared in that process, sweeping the atmosphere with a ck color. Only seven or eight white glows of light were left in the sky. These were the spiritual stoves left by the few dead demons, falling down apanied by a terrible roar. All the nasty energy of darkness disappearedpletely, and the magical beasts that were making series of indignant roars calmed down gradually, sadly looking at their deadrades. The ascending green light vanished gradually, returning thisnd to its original appearance. Han Yu, Lin Xin,e and save him. Wang Yuanyuan anxiously shouted, breaking this short silence. Han Yu and Lin Xin rapidly turned around, and couldnt help but gasp upon seeing Zhang Fangfangs desperate state. Zhang Fangfang didnt lose consciousness, only looking very pale. He was now lying down on Wang Yuanyuansp, forcing out a smile, Dont worry, I wont die from this. Although he said that in a rxed manner, his paleness and the incessantly twitching corners of his mouth betrayed him. Chapter 334 - Devil Dragon True Body (III)

Chapter 334: Devil Dragon True Body (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xin hastily took out two pills, putting them in Zhang Fangfangs hand, and Han Yu gathered the little spiritual energy left inside him for a healing spell directed at Zhang Fangfang. He tried helping him by stablizing the wounded knight for the time being. However, the two of them didnt stay at his side after that. They nodded apologetically to Zhang Fangfang before returning to Long Haochen. Thats right, they could all tell that Long Haochen wasnt in a good state. After the end of the battle, his shocking attack had been what really stopped AhBao from his quest for Ye Xiaolei, though they didnt know how he did it. Standing there, his eyes seemed totally empty, staring soullessly in the distance. He statically maintained his hacking posture. It was as if he had be a sculpture standing on the hill. No one dared to touch him, because everyone was afraid that he would shatter to pieces in the same way as Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light did. Yating was also hovering there,pletely nk, but continuouslyunched one healing spell after another at him. As a Light Elemental Fairy, although her magic couldnt attack enemies or support others, she could directly use it on her master. However, no matter how intensively she kept healing him, Long Haochens body was only covered with a faint golden color, and remained motionless. The only thing that put them at ease was that after Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was broken, it had taken the shape of entangling specks of golden and blue colored light prating into his chest. In their eyes, this was a clear sign that he was still alive. Caier, silently remained by Long Haochens side. She looked serene at first nce, but by paying careful attention, one would notice that her normally steady hands were actually trembling. Who else would show more concern than her regarding Long Haochen? She had seen his attack very clearly, as if it had happened in slow motion. This attack had clearly exceeded the scope of Long Haochens capability. Not using any of Long Haochens original abilities, it was totally drawing power from hisprehension. This was absolutely not an ability Long Haochen could possibly use in his normal state, and the only exnation for him being able to pull this stunt would be his state of mind at that time. The pressure, the environment, his level ofprehension and AhBaos incessant provocation had all added up,bined with the support of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating which had created a perfect level of harmony with the Illusory Paradise. All of these elements together had created this serene but world-shaking attack. But no one knew what cost Long Haochen had to pay for this. Everything in this world worked fairly; to obtain something, one had to lose something else. For instance, once one gained the power of a powerhouse, he would lose the chance of living an ordinary human life. Whats to be done Caier? Chen Yinger anxiously asked Caier. Taking a deep breath, Caier tried her best topose herself, Dont worry everyone. Recover your own spiritual energy first. Han Yu, keep healing Zhang Fangfang until he recovers; no one is allowed to touch Haochen for now. All we can do is to wait. Sima Xian impetuously asked, Then until when should we be waiting? Caier coldly swept her nce towards him, Do you really think you are more anxious than me? This is the Illusory Paradise, so we will obviously have to wait for Ye Xiaolei to awaken. It was for her that we fought, and shes the most familiar with this ce. Sima Xian looked sluggish, and nodded without uttering a single word. If Long Haochen could be said to have convinced the others into following him, Caier was the opposite. She was still the most dreaded by their teammates. Just like everyone admired Long Haochen the most, Caier was the person they feared the most. Although Caiers words were rebuking, Sima Xian didnt mind them much. During the mission in the Deste Hissing Cavern, it had been her who had saved them all when Long Haochen wasnt present, bringing out an ultimate strength that had caused her to lose four of her senses for a total of seven months. This vice-captain thus had gained the absolute respect from the others. Maybe she didnt appear as convincing as Long Haochen to everyone in the team, but in terms of authority, she didnt lose in the slightest against Long Haochen. Every Time Long Haochen was unable tomand the team, she would carry out his duties very smoothly. The magical beasts gradually calmed down and their roars subsided. Slowly they crept towards the hilltop, though none approached them closely. Looking at Long Haochen and Caiers group, they had peaceful looks, approving of thempletely. Time passed, and a strange deep green luster set off those seven or eight spiritual stoves, slowly carrying them in the air, and to the top of the hill. No one went to assimte any of these spiritual stoves, but everyone remained sitting there cross-legged. Looking at herrades that didnt covet these heavenly treasures, Caiers look softened. This bunch wasposed of absolutely trustworthy mates! Unconsciously, she looked at the one she reprimanded just before, Sima. Yes? Sima Xian looked at her puzzled. I am in a bad mood, please dont take offense. Eh Sima Xian instantly couldnt help but give Caier a bewildered look, the atmosphere immediately turned strange. Caier quietly returned to looking after Long Haochen. It took Sima Xian a moment to turn his head to look at Lin Xin, remarking in a low voice, Have I heard it wrong? Did vice-captain just apologize to me? With disdain, Lin Xin nced at him, Looking at your immaturity, I believe that vice-captain should rather have scolded you. She should have, right?! Id be more at ease if she did that. Sima Xian unusually didnt retort to Lin Xins words, instead approving them as he nodded. The Illusory Paradise slowly returned to its normal state, and the corpses from those magical beasts were gradually absorbed by the earth, while the leftover reek of blood was washed clean by the air. Time passed minute by minute, but Long Haochen was still in the same state, without any change. The orange colored cover surrounding Ye Xiaolei gradually wore off. Finally, with a sound cracking, thest remaining shell dispersed, turning into specks of light in the air. Because of Long Haochens condition, no one had managed to have a steady time cultivating. At the time Ye Xiaolei broke the seal of the Great Prophecy technique, everyone immediately stood up. Of course, Zhang Fangfang was an exception. Under the effects of Han Yus healing and Lin Xins pills, his wounds could be said to have stabilized, but he still was in a poor state. As for the wounds on his fingers and arms, even high-level priests would be helpless to treat snapped limbs. He would have to rely on proper medical treatment to recover from those injuries. All Han Yu could do was to preserve the vitality on his snapped limbs, to avoid necrosis. As for the said party, he was currently sleeping in Wang Yuanyuans arms. Wang Yuanyuans lips stayed pursed up tightly all along. She felt confused, as in her head, the scene of Zhang Fangfang cing himself in front her without hesitation was repeated in a loop. Including the calm look he had worn even after sustaining these heavy wounds. Given how critical the injuries on his hands were, this was a fatal blow to his future as a knight. But he was still the oneforting others. Ye Xiaolei hopped to the ground, and without saying any words, her hands simultaneously reached out for Zhang Fangfang and Long Haochen. Two soft radiances of light shot out from her hands and reached those two. Zhang Fangfang crooned lightly, rapidly awaking from his unconscious state. The delicate Ye Xiaolei then headed towards him, rhythmically moving her hand in his direction. Her movements were very quick, but exceptionally harmonious. A dense green cover of light connected Zhang Fangfangs snapped limbs to his body, and even more exceptionally, everywhere her hand passed, all injuries recovered rapidly, and the same went for his bones. Such serious injuries as those sustained by Zhang Fangfang were healed at an astonishing speed. Lin Xin said in a low voice, full of astonishment, This is life magic. Sima Xian asked him in low voice, Whats life magic? How is it that I never heard of it before? Lin Xin replied, Are there only muscles in your brain, to never know about anything like you do? Life magic is a type of extinct magic, that doesnt have any offensive power, but enables one to use the power of life. In terms of healing power, you priests of the light element are just novicespared to mages of life. Sima Xian snorted, Youre a bit cruel to anothers face! Ill tell Teacherter, hmhm. Ever since that day of thepetition, he had gained Ling Xiaos approval, and could now call him teacher. He originally already had a teacher, who didnt have any influence in the Priest Temple. It was the same situation as with Long Haochen who didnt have Ye Hua as his sole teacher. Han Qian and his father could indeed be regarded as his teachers too. While they were talking, Ye Xiaolei was already done treating Zhang Fangfang. She retracted the green ball of light that had previously entered his chest, and Zhang Fangfang fell unconscious once again. Long Haochen was also bathed in the green light, but there was still no change in him; his condition was still the same as before. Ye Xiaolie wrinkled her brows and headed towards him. Pointing her right hand forward, she made contact with Long Haochens chest. Caiers hands were unconsciously clenched. Seeing Long Haochen in such a state filled her with panic, it was just that she had been restraining herself all this time and didnt show it. Now that Ye Xiaolei had finally dispelled the seal, if she didnt have a solution, things would getplicated. A soft green light lit up on Ye Xiaoleis hand, but in the next instant, a rich golden light suddenly shed out from Long Haochens chest, surprisingly shooting out against her finger. Wah. Ye Xiaolei cried out in surprise, before getting closer. She attempted to take off the remaining torn parts of the Glorious Holy Armor on Long Haochens body, but her build was too short and small, and she was unable to reach them. This scene was truly funny; an unpolished little girl trying to reach Long Haochens armor. Let me help you. Caier said with haste, immediately taking off Long Haochens Glorious Holy Armor. When Ye Xiaolei removed the front part of Long Haochens clothing and saw the Eternal Melody on Long Haochens chest, the expression on her face changed at once. Quickly, she raised her right hand. Reaching out with her forefinger, a different type of green light appeared in the air. This was a green me that pulsed between her and the pendant under her control, as she attempted once again to touch the Eternal Melody. An intense golden light erupted once again, shooting at her finger, and Long Haochen who had been keeping this posture for so long shivered this time. Ye Xiaoliesplexion became unsightly, giving a look to the nearby Caier, So the magnificent Scion of Light actually obtained that persons inheritance Chapter 335 - A God’s Chosen One (I)

Chapter 335: A Gods Chosen One (I)

Concerned for Long Haochens safety, Caier exined in a low voice, At that time, he had epted it against his own will. But Ye Xiaolei didnt buy that, I am just looking at the actual facts! How troublesome, it looks as if this time, I wont be able to leave this ce. Hearing her words, Caier seemed unable to make head or tail of it, but still kept questioning, How is Haochen? Ye Xiaolei replied, He is alright; he has just used an ability exceeding the scope of his own capability. However, his current state is something you should be envying. This is a level of advancedprehension, unrted to his own attribute. Although there is some risk of his body copsing, there should be no problem because of the assistance of my energy of life. Just let him stay this way. If I am not mistaken, he is very possibly about to awaken. To awaken? Caier looked at Ye Xiaolei with shock, What do you mean by that? With a happyugh, Ye Xiaolei said next, I can tell you, but first, take off your veil and let me see who of us is the most beautiful. Caier was startled, somehow torn betweenughter and tears. Nheless ording to Ye Xiaoleis words, Long Haochens current state was a good thing. Still, she took off her veil. Caier didnt really understand this matter of awakening, but it seemed that if this state was very useful to Long Haochen. Seeing Caiers pretty face, Ye Xiaolei nked out, saying somewhat annoyed, How annoying, I just cannot grow up. Otherwise, I wouldnt beckingpared to you With those words, she acknowledged herself as being less beautiful than Caier. Seeing her adorable appearance, Caier couldnt help but scratch her own head, Why are you unable to grow up? The expression on Ye Xiaoleis face changed, Im not telling you; its a secret. However, Ill keep my word, since you dont know about the awakening. What a waste on someone with such great innate gifts. Arent the two of you blessed with heavenly physiques? How would the two of you be able to bring out these physical advantages without prior awakening? Heavenly physiques? This was yet another new piece of information to her. If Long Haochen heard about this, he would definitely remember the term heavenly he had heard from Elux about himself in the Tower of Eternity. Are you saying that an internal spiritual energy above ny gives one a heavenly physique? Caier asked curiously. This was already rted not only to Long Haochen but also to herself. Ye Xiaolei felt somehow at a loss, I dont know about innate spiritual energy, but anyway, I can feel that you and him both have heavenly physiques. I may not have put it in a good way. A heavenly being is, as the name implies, one that received a gods concern. It is the highest level of innate gifts you humans can get. However, a gods chosen one needs an awakening to bring out his full ability. For instance, if he had already awakened his innate gifts before, that guy from before wouldnt necessarily have been a match in a one against one fight. However, those vile and filthy creatures of darkness are truly disgusting, to actually have someone with a way to temporarily break through the space of this world. When she mentioned the Demon God Emperor, her eyes showed some terror in spite of herposed self. Caier spoke again, That was the Demon God Emperor of those demons. If my or Haochens physique awaken, what benefit woulde of it? Ye Xiaolei replied, Many benefits. Ones awakening as a gods chosen one implies that the person can from then on borrow the power of the god who showed concern to him or her. Of course, depending on the personal strength, the degree of power one can borrow will vary. Wow, you are really an ignorant bunch. Ill go in more detail then. The fact that you are gods chosen ones means that you have been chosen as sessors of gods. If you cultivate to the supreme level, you will simrly ascend to the level of a god. Gods? So gods really do exist? Caier murmured. Ye Xiaolei stuck out her tongue, Of course they exist. However, bing a god is nothing that great. A god has to act as a link between heaven and earth, fusingpletely with the element he controls. Its nowhere as good as freely acting as a person. Gods appear as if they can control and rule over everything, but arent they also unable to break thews? Otherwise, their godhead would just be corrupted. How could they be as free and diverse as you living humans? For this reason, even if gods do exist, they can also be considered as nonexistent. Of course, to escape this fate of bing aplete god, some will only stay in a state of being half-gods, to remain free and leisurely able to do as they please in the world. Its just that these kinds of half-gods can be suppressed byplete gods, and will sooner orter still be gods themselves. Ay, even by only speaking of it, I feel already totally confused. Just let me tell you that bing a god is definitely not a good thing. As a gods chosen one, you should better not be too strong, or else, when you will ascend to the level of god, only loneliness will be awaiting you. And you will be subject to very powerfulws and limitations. Simply saying, every elemental essence around you is part of a god. In this world, we are the same as fusions of several gods. If you truly be a god, parts of your original memories might even disappear. Caier asked next, Right now, when the Demon God Emperor ripped the Illusory Paradise open to save those demons, he also used the term godhead that you just mentioned. He seemed to be really intent to obtain a godhead. Why are you saying that bing a god is no good? Ye Xiaoleis eyes were filled with some fear, That guy is not the same. His aura clearly doesnt originate from this world of ours, so he isnt affected by its rules and restrictions. But it also means that he cannot get one godhead here like you could. If he would truly manage to obtain a godhead, and if his strength breaks through to the sufficient level, he will very possibly be the eternal ruler of this world. At that time, no one will ever be able to stop him. Arriving at this point, Ye Xiaoleis look suddenly became all the more concerned. Staring at Caier before looking at the nearby Long Haochen, she tightened her brows, seemingly pondering deeply over something. Caier could tell that this little girl didnt tell her everything about this important matter, but to her, although bing a god had its perks as well as its disadvantages, it was still a very distant matter. Isnt a godhead part of being a god? Then how could something like that be plundered? Caier asked, filled with doubts. Ye Xiaolei suddenly became somewhat irascible, It could be under some particr circumstances. Okay, dont ask further, I already told you everything I should tell you. Anyway, in the future, youd better not be gods and thats it. As for that one guy, he is merely following a delusion. How could it be so easy to steal a godhead? If the worstes to the worst, I can just Arriving at this point, her words suddenly came to a stop, and she didnt say anything more after giving Caier a vignt look. However, Caier didnt just stop there and kept asking, Then, what would be the boundary to bing a god? Ye Xiaolei shot her a nce, but didnt reply this time. Caier suddenly revealed a little smile, Actually, I already know about that. Ye Xiaolei snorted with disdain, With your current strength, how could you know? The boundary is a million units of internal spiritual energy, isnt it? Caier said with a smile. Ehm Ye Xiaolei looked at her with a start, her expression already revealing her thoughts. At that point, Caier didnt keep asking any further. She simply returned to Long Haochens side, before sitting cross-legged, and shutting her eyes to start cultivating. Since Long Haochen was alright, she didnt keep worrying. The others who had been listening to the conversation between Caier and Ye Xiaolei all wore different expressions. Nheless, this onlysted for a brief time, after all, the distance before ascending to the rank of a god was still too far in the future. Time passed gradually in the Illusory Paradise, and Ye Xiaolei seemed somewhat bored as she sat to a side, with a total of eight spiritual stoves revolving around her quietly, as if obeying her will. She didnt express the intention to let anyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad absorb these spiritual stoves, but didnt retake them either. Who knew what she was currently thinking about? She only asionally gave a look in Long Haochens direction, thus the matter she was thinking about was bound to be rted to him. A whole day passed this way, and in the end, when dawn arrived on the third day, a change happened on Long Haochens body. Daybreak filled the world with new life and joy, and when that gentle light emerged on the horizon, Long Haochens body ordingly lit up. Like the rising of a second sun in the sky, a pair of resplendent radiant wings unfolded on his back. Soft wings spread, seeminglyrger than before. They seemed to appear in coordination with the rising of dawn, that actually illuminated him alone. Be it the inhabitants of the Illusory Paradise or hisrades, everyone felt that the horizon, which should technically light up, darkened instead, with a straight line of golden light gradually connecting Long Haochen and the sun. Ye Xiaolei sat on the branch of a tree, as if she was weightless. Her eyes shone in response to the changes that were happening on Long Haochens body. Thats right, hes really awakening! Bathed in golden light, Long Haochen gradually left the hacking posture and stood straight as his pair of wings spread to his sides. The sunlight bathing him intensified as time passed, embellishing him in an entirely golden radiance. A dense golden mist spread out from him, taking the shape of golden ripples twirling around his body. As if it was very natural, Sima Xian and Han Yu came to sit cross-legged a dozen meters away from Long Haochen. On their forehead, golden patterns appeared. This was clearly a result from the influence of their retainer contract, and it was absolutely a good sign. The spiritual wings on their backs spread out rapidly, and were bathed in light. Long Haochen emitted a faint golden colored radiance which fluctuated between the three of them. Zhang Fangfangs body had fundamentally already recovered, but he was still feeling a bit weak. Assisted by Wang Yuanyuan, he looked at the three of them with envy. After a moment, he also closed his eyes, sensing the changes in the light essence filling the air. At this very moment, he only felt his own body being soaked in an ocean, with an endless surge of gentle light tapping against his body. This wonderful feeling was something he had never experienced before, causing waves ofprehension to reach his thoughts one after another. A transparent golden radiance also slowly spread from his body. As he also sat cross-legged with haste, a pair of spiritual wings farrger than Sima Xian and Han Yus appeared on his back. Chapter 336 - A God’s Chosen One (II)

Chapter 336: A Gods Chosen One (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales On Long Haochens forehead, nine patterns emerged. They appeared purple at first, but rapidly turned golden. The surface of his skin shimmered like a gem, making his appearance unclear and hazy. The sunshine was growing more and more intense, as the golden color on Long Haochens body grew stronger. At his feet, a diverging golden halo started to take shape as well. This halo was extremely peculiar. In the magnificent golden light, the patterns on its edge were like brilliant pieces of the sun. The resplendent center of this manifestation was at Long Haochens feet. An illusory golden luster slowly spread from his head. This figure seemed simr to the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, but looked very translucent and unclear to the eyes. It reached three meters in size, spread a soft light and descended slowly to gradually dissolve into Long Haochens body. A low chant was issued from Yatings mouth. Ever since Long Haochen had entered the state of awakening, she had been floating in the air, and now that Long Haochen had formally entered the state of awakening, her face was filled with absolute joy. As the golden brilliance was merging into Long Haochens body, Yatings body also started to change. Drops of golden streamed out from Long Haochens body, and enveloped Yating. Under their influence, her whole body was remodeled. Her size changed, and the past illusory impression disappearedpletely. Not only that, but Yating now carried apact golden staff in her right hand. It was perfectly straight and simr to Yating in size. On its caltrop-shaped top, a dazzling golden gem was embedded. In addition to this, a gem also appeared on Yatings forehead. At her feet was now another small halo, with the same appearance as the one under Long Haochen. But this wasnt the biggest change on her. The biggest change was the aura that she radiated. Originally, she only had had a holy aura, but now, her body emitted an aura of life. She was now not merely an intelligent light elemental fairy, but a real fairy, a fairy of light. From this moment onward, she wasnt just Long Haochens supportive spiritual stove, but also possessed the ability to attack enemies and boost allies. She hadpletely regained her life as a fairy. Of course, she was still Long Haochens spiritual stove by contract, and this was an unchangeable reality. By leaving Long Haochen, she would lose the benediction from the Scion of Lights heavenly physique, and would perhaps return to her former state. Long Haochen started a long chant, and Yating looked up at him. She softly murmured something before an odd scene happened, starting first of all with the little fairy. Under her original pair of wings appeared another pair. These new delicate wings gradually unfolded, and her whole bodys presence underwent a total change. It gained in length until she was close to a meter. From the gem on her forehead emerged a horn and on her staff appeared some magnificent designs. Exactly, receiving the gains from Long Haochens awakening, Yating evolved once again, and this was her third evolution ever since following Long Haochen. But she wasnt the only one to undergo a change. At the same time, an even more astonishing change took ce on Long Haochens back. His originally enormous wings slowly stretched, and another pair surprisingly appeared right under his main wings. This change was simrly to what happened to Yating, and it was still not over. The golden feathers that covered his wings were now a lot thicker than before, indistinctly emitting some exceptionally beautiful golden spheres of light. So the wings of a human powerhouse could actuallye in double pairs? Along with this, a golden pir of light suddenly rose behind Long Haochen. It was Zhang Fangfang, whose body slowly floated upwards, enveloped by the golden pir of light. On his back, the golden feathers suddenly appeared more substantial, and his whole body instantly became brilliant, before returning to its normal state. His right fist still maintained that transparent look, just like a golden crystal sculpture. Brilliant Body! It was exactly the influence from Long Haochens awakening as a gods chosen one, which, added up with his own efforts and the stimtion from the past battle, enabled Zhang Fangfang to finally break through the bottleneck, reaching the threshold of the seventh step which had blocked him for so long. He was now a Temple Knight at the seventh step, which could be called unexpected happy news. Although Han Yu and Sima Xian, who also possessed the same light element didnt make a cool progress like a breakthrough, the light element surrounding their bodies had clearly gained in substance. This perfectly straight golden pir of light slowly dissipated, and the sunshine illuminated the whole earth anew, bringing its radiance to the Illusory Paradise. Long Haochen slowly opened his eyes. The instant his eyes opened, the air was torn by two bolts of lightning, but the atmosphere quickly returned to normal. Turning his head to look at the deeply concerned Caier at his side, Long Haochen said apologetically, I made you worry. Caier didnt say anything, only silently leaned on his shoulder, and grabbed his hand tightly. Long Haochen didnt anticipate this surprising change. Witnessing AhBaos desperate attack on the hilltop under the influence of the dense breath of life in the air, and the fog of light that Yating had absorbed before, he had only felt himself going in a fantastic state. When seeing AhBao transform into a Devil Dragon, he had thought of retreating, conscientious of hisrades. For this reason, he had already been prepared tounch the Eternal Melody to bring hisrades and Ye Xiaolei back to the Tower of Eternity. However, at the time he entered that fantastic state, he suddenly gained the realization that if he were to retreat here, he would definitely lose something important. Led by that fantastic surge ofprehension, he didnt cower and led hisrades to wee this trial,unching his own Storing Power. That blow waspletely exploiting Long Haochensprehension in that fantastic state. At that time, he had only felt his own energy dissolving at once as his formidable mental strength and his spiritual energy, as well as all the light essence he could draw support from, all fused into that blow. It went to the extent that at the time he had used that heaven-shattering attack, Long Haochen had felt himself bing one with the world, being miraculously embraced by the sunshine. Borrowing strength from the world for this attack, he had fallenpletely into a sh of realization, and had started the process of his awakening as the Scion of Light. Countless fantastic scenes had appeared without pause in his head, surges ofprehension hovering around in his mind. At the time he woke up, the mysteries concerning his identity as the Scion of Light were sealed deeply into his brain. The Scion of Light was the person who had the blessing of the Goddess of Light, he was the spokesperson of the sun. He was the one who would be loved by the entire brilliance of the sun, and thus be able to borrow strength from the sun and the goddess of light to make up for all his deficiencies. This was the true legend of the Scion of Light. If not for this, it would just be his cultivation that was a bit faster than that of ordinary people, and hisprehension over light element that would be a bit stronger. Wouldnt that make the Scion of Light just too weak? At the time he awakened as the real Scion of Light, his internal spiritual energy also rose to a great extent, totalling a hundred. Now, it was truly perfect. Long Haochen finally understood how the Scion of Samsara had managed to wound the Demon God Emperor heavily while only reaching a third of his level of cultivation, causing the death of that generations Demon God Emperor. This was surely because the Scion of Samsara of those times had been awakened. If Long Haochen could be said to draw support from light, then the Scion of Samsaras power could be said to be the power of ughter. He as the person blessed by the god of war. Long Haochens awakening had happened in the Illusory Paradise, a ce filled with light, which was intimately connected to nature. But if Caier wanted to awaken as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, she would have to do it in a battlefield filled with ughter and the reeking of blood. Only through unceasing battles in a ce filled with the odor of ughter would she trulyprehend the mysteries as the Saint Daughter of Samsara. All the golden light finally vanished, and the two pairs of spiritual wings on Long Haochens back pped once. This caused his body to rise a sixth of meter above the ground, before returning to the ground. He still seemed unustomed to his new four wings. A dense essence of light circted around him, and Long Haochen appeared even calmer in temper and more mature. He also seemed to have gained a bit in size, and now, only by looking at his appearance, no one would be able to tell that he was only fifteen. He looked closer to a man in his twenties. After awakening, the Scion of Light wasnt only astonishingly handsome, but also gained a fantastic attractiveness. Just from seeing him, anyone would unawarely feel somehow attracted by the kind of warmth radiated by him. Hey, lets have a chat. Ye Xiaoleis voice was heard from the side. Long Haochen turned around, the four wings on his back vanishing. Yating threw herself at Long Haochens chest with a voice full of excitement, before vanishing into his chest. After his awakening, Long Haochen was now to her the same as the mother of light that helped her grow. Seeing those eight spiritual stoves revolving around Ye Xiaolei, Long Haochen nodded in response. Follow me. Ye Xiaolei waved to him, heading to a lower part of the hill. Long Haochen made a gesture to tell hisrades to wait, before immediately following her. Ye Xiaolei didnt go too far away, but she seemed to have something important to say. It was truly strange to see that expression on a six or seven year-old looking girl. Somewhere halfway down the hill, Ye Xiaolei turned around. A green luster full of the essence of life spread out, enveloping Long Haochen and herself inside. Younger sister, what do you want to tell me? Long Haochen asked with a smile. Even with the appearance of an only six or seven years old girl, the instant Ye Xiaolei discerned that sunshine-like smile, she couldnt help but nk out. The words that came out next from her mouth were, Youre so nice-looking, even a fairy wouldnt be as pretty as you. The corner of Long Haochens mouth twitched in response to that, Please use the word handsome, pretty is a word used to describe girls. Chapter 337 - A God’s Chosen One(III)

Chapter 337: A Gods Chosen One(III)

Ye Xiaolei stuck out her tongue, What does it have to do with that? Based on the human way to count age, I am at least ten thousand years old. In front of me, youre no more but a damn little kid. Long Haochen remained silent as he looked at her. He believed the girls words, but saying that she would be a senior from ancient times felt unrealistic, because this girls appearance was pretty much the same as a little girl. Seeing his stoic appearance, Ye Xiaolei seemed satisfied, as the worries filling her eased up by a lot. However, she quickly became aggravated, dering in anger, Youre really annoying. Long Haochen replied with a bitter smile, If Im not mistaken, we have just been helping you. How is that annoying? Ye Xiaolei replied as a matter of course, Of course youre annoying. You are the Scion of Light, so why are you letting yourself be infected with a power of necromancer, the magic of quite a powerful necromancer. Are you mad? Arent you afraid of your own heart of light bing corrupted? Long Haochen gave her a serious look, If you have a method to help me remove my connection with him, I will be extremely grateful towards you. Ye Xiaolie was startled for a bit, Tell me how you crossed paths with that necromancer. I am listening. Long Haochen then told his story in the Deste Hissing Cavern as well as the matters that happened in the Tower of Eternity. Hearing his words, Ye Xiaolei became speechless for a while, looking at him in a daze. How How is that possible? A necromancer of light element? Oh my god! Could this guy have been the same as you, a gods chosen one of the Goddess of Light? This is too unbelievable. Since a chosen of the Goddess of Light has be a necromancer, something deep definitely has happened to him. Long Haochen asked in astonishment, Is it that only a light element user with the physique of a Scion of Light can train in light elemental necromancy? Ye Xiaolie gave him a serious nod, Yes. Necromancer is a filthy vocation,ing into contacts with corpses and death. Its the highest possible sphemy to light, and only the purest body of the Scion of Light can avoid being corrupted by this filthiness, keeping his pure heart while cultivating as a holy necromancer. But this is even more difficult to aplish than it would be for you to seed the Goddess of Nature. This guy is simply the greatest genius among humans. Regarding the definition of a gods chosen one, Long Haochen had gotten its entire understanding and didnt need her to exin it any further. However, this still shocked him to the greatest extent. Could that holy necromancer, the Slumbering Cmity Elux also be a gods chosen one? And one that appeared thousands of years ago. Long Haochen and Ye Xiaolei looked at each other. Looking lifeless, they were filled with total shock. They had amon subject of curiosity, and this was the reason why the Slumbering Cmity, Scion of Light of that time, chose to be a necromancer. I cannot help you. Ye Xiaolei said with some bitterness, Given that this Slumbering Cmity Elux was powerful enough to leave a spatially connected tower, he ought to have reached the level of half-god. This is far from what I can handle. Even if my sister was still there, she wouldnt be able to remove your connection with him either. I just wonder what happened to him. I believe that when you will be able to reach the top of that tower and receive his true inheritance, you should get some of his memories. Reaching this point, she let out a light sigh, But even a light elemental necromancer is still a necromancer! Necromancy being the counterpart of life, and since I am of life element, I cannot leave this ce with you. Its such a shame after Ive been waiting for so many years, and finally found a gods chosen one such as you, that I still cannot leave. Just tell me whether you are annoying. Ive been already waiting for more than ten thousand years you know! Long Haochen was left speechless, and just didnt know how he should reply to her, only giving her a helpless look. After giving him a long disatisfied look, Ye Xiaolei finally proposed, Okay, how about making a deal with me; how does that sound? What kind of deal? Long Haochen gave her an rmed look. This girl shouldnt be judged by her appearance of six or seven years-old girl, and was probably the guardian of this Illusory Paradise. Ye Xiaolei unhappily continued, Why are you being so tense? This will not be harmful to you, you will only profit. Do you see these? She pointed the eight spiritual stoves at her side. Long Haochen gave a serious nod. Ye Xiaolei said next, These spiritual stoves are all for you, and I can exempt you from having to pass the next test before leaving the Illusory Paradise. Youll just have to directly go through thest test. This way, as long as these guys arent too greedy and do not have too many spiritual stoves assimted, there will fundamentally not be any problem, and the benefits will be enormous. Seeing her somehow exaggerated expression, with her hands extended widely, Long Haochen remained unmoved, and asked very seriously, Then, what will I have to do? Hey, are you okay with that or not? You dont have the drive of a man at all. Will it kill you to give me a direct answer? Ye Xiaolei responded in great dissatisfaction. Long Haochens shoulders appeared stiff, It is not only for myself that I have to take responsibility, but for myrades too. Ye Xiaolei said, But this is unrted to them. I only want to keep contact with you, by mental connection, for the future, when I will need your help. Only a monkey would refuse. For example? Long Haochen didnt rx, and kept asking. Ye Xiaolei opened her eyes wide, What kind of example do you want? Long Haochen replied, I want to know about the worse kind of situation that would happen to need my help. Ye Xiaolei suddenly looked angered, If it reallyes to the worst, it will only be convenient for you. This wonte out with any loss for you. Dont tell me that you not only look like a girl, but your nature is just as dawdling too? If you dont want to make a deal then lets leave it at that. Ehm. Long Haochen didnt get angry, but just turned around and headed to the direction of the hilltop. You Ye Xiaolei had been really angered by him, stamping her own feet on the ground, but followed him in the end, If it reallyes to the worst possible situation and you dont help me, you humans are done for. Long Haochen turned back again, looking at her with a smile before doing a gesture to hint her that he would like to know about the details. About half an hourter, when Long Haochen and Ye Xiaolei returned to the hilltop, their expressions returned to normal. It looked as if nothing had happened. Long Haochen smiled while looking at the others, including Zhang Fangfang who was sitting in a cultivating state, Everyone, lets share the spiritual stoves. The eight spiritual stoves that were originally gathered close to Ye Xiaolei now revolved above Long Haochens head. Everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad looked at each other, before suddenly crying out in cheers. Long Haochen turned around to look at Ye Xiaolei, expressing, Ill be troubling you. Ye Xiaolei unhappily replied, I know, I know. Saying that, she did movements of her finger causing a bunch of green lights to head for everyone. Feeling as if their bodies were stuck into a sticky liquid, the others felt unable to move, and immediately, they saw spiritual stoves fly towards their direction. However, this didnt mean that everyone got spiritual stoves. Long Haochen didnt get any, Caier obtained one, and out of the others, Wang Yuanyuan didnt get any more spiritual stoves. On the contrary, Han Yu who didnt obtain any before instead got two and two of those were left appeared in front of Zhang Fangfang. Ye Xiaolei waved her hand, dering, I am doing the best distribution based on your ownpatibilities. Everyone, absorb your respective spiritual stoves. Then you can leave from this ce. Caier gave Long Haochen a pondering look, as if asking why he didnt get any spiritual stove at all. Long Haochen shook his head with a smile, I obtained enough from this trip. Ye Xiaolei said with a snort, There were just none fitting him and thats all. Just hurry up and do it. All the others rapidly went to absorb their own spiritual stoves. Wang Yuanyuan who stayed idle unconsciously looked at Zhang Fangfang who was cultivating far from them. At that time, Zhang Fangfang opened his eyes little by little. His eyes emitted a faint golden light, happening to look right at her. Wang Yuanyuans face looked totally stiff in reaction to that look, before she nodded to him. Long Haochen dered, Brother Zhang, hurry up to assimte them. These two spiritual stoves are for you. Of course, it wasnt that among these spiritual stoves, none were suited for Long Haochen. A total of five belonged to the light element. Sima Xian got one of these, while Han Yu, and Zhang Fangfang also got two each. These could all be absorbed by Long Haochen, but ording to Ye Xiaoleis words, absorbing too many of these spiritual stoves of low grade would instead be limiting his future possibilities. And in addition, along with his awakening as a gods chosen one, the Scion of Light, Long Haochen sensed a new gap that formed between hisrades and himself. He also thought about helping hisrades grow as fast as possible, everyone was after all part of the same team, and too wide gap within the team would be very harmful to the future growth of the whole group. For this reason, he expressed to Ye Xiaolei his will to renounce on these before returning, and borrowed her mouth to tell the others that none of the spiritual stoves were suitable for him. Because this was just a preliminary absorption, the process was very simple, then everyone had happy expressions after aplishing this initial assimtion. When thest person finished to assimte his spiritual stove, Ye Xiaolei dered, Okay, you can return to the shrine now. Remember that thest test of the Illusory Paradise cannot be avoided, and it will consist of fusing spiritual stoves. Those in your group who gained two or more spiritual stoves will need a great willpower to manage that. In case you fail, the better result will be the dispersion of the spiritual stoves, but it is highly possible that you will lose your life. Thats right, this was the greatest mystery of the Illusory Paradise. No matter how many spiritual stoves one obtained here, in the end all of them are fused as one, but this great danger is also an opportunity. The finally fused spiritual stoves will be bound to gain an enormous boost in power, but in case of failure, it will alsoe with an enormous cost. Perhaps those who were taken away by the Demon God Emperor could rely on their particr methods to assimte some spiritual stoves, but they would also lose the chance of fusion. This was actually the greatest secret known to the Priest Temple. Chapter 338 - Fusing Spiritual Stoves (I)

Chapter 338: Fusing Spiritual Stoves (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The reason why the Temple Alliance dared agree to let those demons in was that they didnt fear letting them obtain more spiritual stoves. When fusing more than three spiritual stoves, the danger would be enormously high and the chances of sess infinitely low. And moreover, the Illusory Paradise in itself rejected the darkness element. However, the Temple Alliance and the higher-ups of the Priest Temple didnt expect that the Demon God Emperor could meddle in this way, saving those demon powerhouses and ruining their ns totally. And this time, the demon powerhouses killed the great majority of the Demon Hunters that entered. In terms of damage, both parties lost a lot, but the demons lost a lot more. It was after all only sessors from various demon gods that died in this trip. Lumps of feeble light set in movement autonomously, taking the shape of green balls floating behind everyones back. Following them were flickers of green light that covered their bodies, disappearing along. Long Haochen was thest to disappear. Ye Xiaolei waved her hand to him, dering gently the words, Thank you. How could she possibly be unable to differentiate good from evil? It was just that she was an extremely stubborn person who refused to acknowledge it out of her own mouth. Bizarre changes happened on everyone, who became alone in a green space, only filled with endless green and applying an unsurpassable binding. Unable to leave from this ce, everyonepleted their own assimtions of spiritual stoves in a cross-legged position. Since everyone absorbed a different amount of spiritual stoves, the process of assimtion was naturally different for all of them. The trial to start this process was directly cancelled by Ye Xiaolei, thus they were saved from this trial and would directly be brought to fuse their own spiritual stoves. Among them, the one who had the most effortless time was undoubtedly Long Haochen. He didnt get any new spiritual stoves in the Illusory Paradise, and thus only remained here for a bit, before leaving for the next space with a flicker of light in the midst of green undtions. Then, hisst trial for the fusion of spiritual stoves began. The others didnt have such an easy time. For the process of the assimtion, Wang Yuanyuan and Caier obtained only one new spiritual stove, while the others all had two spiritual stoves to assimtepletely. Although it went by the sequential order, assimting several spiritual stoves normally required one to pass through a quite considerable difficulty. Caier rapidly fused with her spiritual stoves. As the wielder of the constitution as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, and the only other gods chosen one apart from Long Haochen, fusing a spiritual stove of same attributes as hers was totallycking in challenge, even if this was already the third spiritual stove that she absorbed. The spiritual stove Caier absorbed this time could naturally notpare with her own Spiritual Stove of Samsara, but it was of the same tier as her Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove. This spiritual stove bore the name of Real Shadow. It was only fitting to be used by assassins, because only assassins with the Doppleganger ability could disy the full power of this spiritual stove. When used, Real Shadow would enable to make the afterimages created by an assassin real. In its original state, the Spiritual Stove of Real Shadow would produce these effects for a duration of roughly three seconds, but as it would keep evolving, this duration would increase. Its greatest utility was the ability of making afterimages real, giving them the same fighting power as their user. Although onlysting for three seconds, its effects were undoubtedly game-changing in some crucial times. Given Caiers strength, with the addition of this True Shadow, the effectiveness of her attacks in the battlefield would undoubtedly increase several folds. Just imagine, if she used the Spiritual Stove of Samsara while also using the Real Shadow, how frightful would that be? Of course, this spiritual stove wasnt something that one could use as one pleases; three times a day would be the maximum number of times it could be used. Unfortunately, this spiritual stove would have to fuse with Caiers other two spiritual stoves shortly afterwards, and Caiers greatest issue would be whether shed manage to fuse the three of them together or not. She was also the only one person to fuse three spiritual stoves on this trip. The absorption of the Real Shadow was rapidly achieved, and next, Caier found herself soaked in a green pool, in the same way as it went for Long Haochen. Wang Yuanyuan was only a bit slower than Caier to assimte her spiritual stove. Since she only needed to fuse with a single spiritual stove, the Spatial Gate that corresponded to her attribute, fusing with it went rapidly. After that, she actually directly crossed over that green pool, and was the first to appear in the front of the shrine of nature. Only possessing a single spiritual stove, she didnt need to undergo the fusing process, and thus became the first one to profit from this trip in the Illusory Paradise. Of course, she could currently not leave the Illusory Paradise yet, and still needed to wait for herrades toe out, in particr Long Haochen. Directly leaving wouldnt be convenient to them, so she had to pass through the Tower of Eternity to leave. The process of fusing the spiritual stoves could be called fiery for Sima Xians case. His facial hair aside, all his bodys hairs stood by the effect of the ferocious thunder. The Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder had a terrifyingly obvious offensive power,parable to the second tier of the spiritual stoves. Its power was as one might imagine, and moreover, Sima Xians attribute of mastery wasnt thunder, after all practically no human with thunder as their natural attribute of mastery existed in this world. For this reason, it became all the more difficult for him. The pain from the fusion with this mere Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder gave him such a pain that he would almost feel better dying, but Sima Xians tenacity wasnt weaker than any other human. If he didnt have this incredible dedication and tenacity, how would he choose to cross the path of violence as a priest? This guy shouted loudly in invigoration while fusing with this Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder. Perhaps it was his intrepid side that finally conquered the heart of the Spiritual Stove of Purple Lightning, as he finally started toplete the process of this assimtion. His other spiritual stove was a lot easier to fuse. This spiritual stove was called Light of Double Exposure, and was selected very carefully for him by Long Haochen after inquiring Ye Xiaolei about it. It was a supportive spiritual stove with a single use: to duplicate any attack after use. Its restriction was that the number of uses was three a day, and the choice of this Light of Double Exposure further added to the Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder was naturally oriented for the sake of Sima Xians pursuit of the path of burst power. His burst power was direct, and needed for the team. Compared to Sima Xian, Lin Xin was a lot more blessed. His two spiritual stovesplied to ally with him to an astonishing degree, to the point that he didnt have to take any initiative, and yet the two spiritual stoves started to be assimted into his body at the same time. Given how Lin Xins control over fire element was astonishingly high, this assimtion was asfortable as a fish swimming in water, only taking less than half an hour more than Wang Yuanyuan. Afterpleting the assimtion of the two spiritual stoves, he became transported to the green pool. The Heart of mes aside, the other spiritual stove he obtained was called Spiritual Stove of me Eagle, an exceptional offensive and defensive oriented dual spiritual stove. The Spiritual Stove of me Eagle can set free an immense eagle of mes to help him in attack and defense, and can be controlled entirely by the user The Spiritual Stove of me Eagle and the Spiritual Stove of Heart of mes attained a high level ofpatibility, which was the important reason that enabled him to assimte the two at the same time. The assimtion went smoothly for Han Yu too, who gained the two spiritual stoves known as Spiritual Stove of Guardian of Light and Spiritual Stove of Light Assemge. One was mainly a defensive spiritual stove while the other one was mainly a supportive spiritual stove, and both were rtively peaceful spiritual stoves. In addition, these two spiritual stove he assimted directly increased the users cultivation. Thus, in the process of fusion, Han Yu felt his own strength rise gradually, while his innate internal spiritual energy reached the level of eighty, which he vaguely felt. In theter fusion of the spiritual stoves, he would most likely be the one for whom it would go the most smoothly. Chen Yingers assimtion was actually quite harder than expected. The Scapegoat Spiritual Stove aside, she gained another spiritual stove fit for summoners called Time-Producing Spiritual Stove. Relying on it, one could extend the duration of a summons ability and its persisting time. Simply said, used on McDull, his strength would persist for twenty minutes instead of ten after absorbing a magical crystal. This was a very useful ability, and with its addition atop of the dual summoning ability of the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove, Chen Yingers strength was bound to gain an enormous increase. However, assimting these two spiritual stoves was far from an easy matter, and they werent even of congenial attribute, naturally making their absorption difficult. However, Chen Yingers temper was actually rtively opposite to Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan was a strong person on the surface but actually soft and sensitive inside, whereas Chen Yinger looked weak on the surface while being tough in temper. After obtaining the little pig McDull, her utility for the team increased, but until now, she was only capable of providing some assistance or aplishing some particr crucial tasks. She had been always minding her performance in the team, and felt from beginning to end that she never fulfilled properly her duty as a summoner. The better she was treated by herrades, the more she med herself deep inside. At this very moment, the absorption of these two spiritual stoves gave her an extreme pain, but she bit her teeth tightly and bore it, not cowering in the slightest. Her eyes were full of resolution, and it was on the basis of this willpower that shepleted the sessive assimtions of these spiritual stoves. Everyone had different luck, but they invested equal effort. In their lives, people would always get different degree of luck, but everyone would get some opportunities. However, it was up to themselves whether to catch these opportunities or not. Without a doubt, this was the best chance to grab this opportunity for everyone in the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. As long as they smoothly came out from this trip in the Illusory Paradise, they were bound to distinguish themselves from the other Demon Hunt Squads. Fusing spiritual stoves was something Long Haochens group had never experienced before, let alone hearing about the details. Even in the stories about the mysteries of the spiritual stoves that Long Xingyu told him, the act of fusing spiritual stoves was only mentioned in a single sentence. In theory, there was no limit in the number of spiritual stove one could absorb. As long as his body could bear it, he would be able to go on with absorbing those. But how did it go in practice? Generally speaking, a powerhouse would normally be able to absorb three spiritual stoves, before fundamentally reaching his limits. But acquiring three spiritual stoves first of all required a lot of good luck. 1. order of obtention of the spiritual stoves Chapter 339 - Fusing Spiritual Stoves (II)

Chapter 339: Fusing Spiritual Stoves (II)

If one kept assimting spiritual stoves even after that, there could beplications for his body. Only with a very deep understanding of spiritual stoves, and in particr, a perfect understanding of the properties of his own spiritual stoves, was it possible for a human to wield four or even five spiritual stoves. In the history of the Temple Alliance, there existed some past records of powerhouses who fused with a particrly high number of spiritual stoves, and all had left significant traces in history. However, even more records described cases of an excessive number of absorbed spiritual stoves negatively influencing their wielders lives. To really absorb more spiritual stoves, there existed another method, and that was to fuse spiritual stoves with each other. Fusing already assimted spiritual stoves would lessen the number of spiritual stoves in ones body, and thus create more space avable to absorb other spiritual stoves. After fusing, spiritual stoves would produce an effect of umtion, and this would increase their efficiency. This was absolutely a good thing for anyone, but was it really so easy to fuse spiritual stoves? Getting the opportunity to fuse spiritual stoves was first of all extremely hard, to say nothing about the fact that the fusion itself involved an enormous part of uncertainty and risk. Long Haochens group had obtained such a great opportunity, but it was still too early to say whether they would be able to benefit from it. Soaked in the green pool, Long Haochen was in a sudden calm state of mind. After his awakening as a gods chosen one, his mind was even more focused, and reached an optimum state very easily. Immediately, he sensed his own body being wrapped in the vital energy, permeating him gently. This energy of life entered his body slowly, or at least it felt like it. This harmless and beneficial energy merged with Long Haochens liquid spiritual energy, enforcing his body and mind, and soon he reached aplete level of rxation. All his muscles and energy channels actually went all limp at this time. Gradually, this soft vital energy covered his whole body, before slowly rushing into his chest. There, it slowly subsided. The Light Elemental Fairy Yating was seated inside the Saint Spiritual Stove as this thin green-colored vital energy was poured into the Saint Spiritual Stove. Immediately, a mysterious change was produced. Both of Yating hands started to adopt a particr pose. As her face revealed a happy expression, she entered a special state. A soft white radiance was emanated by the Saint Spiritual Stove, producing white circles which spread inside Long Haochen who suddenly felt his own brain go dizzy. On his chest, he felt a heating sensation, but this didnt affect his focused state. The liquid spiritual energy in his body was noiselessly consumed at an astonishing speed under this cozy feeling, and in this green pool, his vital energy kept strengthening. But this didnt help in increasing his internal spiritual energy. It seemed that time didnt pass in this ce, and Long Haochen felt the warmth in his chest increasing until it reached a burning hot level. After gradually reaching this state, it produced a zing feeling, as if a fireball was violently ignited inside his chest. However, he felt no worries at that time. If even after his awakening as a gods chosen one and with his level of understanding regarding his two spiritual stoves, he was still unable to fuse them, who would be able to achieve the fusion? This wasnt arrogance but self-confidence. However, Long Haochen was still nervous; not for himself, but for hisrades. This fusion of spiritual stoves brought forth pain that far exceeded his imagination. On top of that, since practically nothing of his internal spiritual energy was left for self-protection, after it had been totally absorbed in the process of fusion, all the pain was left for his body to bear. Long Haochen actually looked forward to see what kind of change would appear after the fusion between Yating and the Saint Spiritual Stove. All he wished for was that the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove wouldnt disappear. In truth, even given his intelligence, Long Haochen forgot the fact that afterpleting his awakening, his mental state hadnt recovered yet. The pain he had to bear indeed grew stronger and stronger, reaching the point at which he had to clench his teeth to barely be able bear it. Dont forget that although he only had two spiritual stoves, these were two evolved spiritual stoves! Unevolved and evolved spiritual stoves were absolutely not the same. As a simple example, a Saint Spiritual Stove that never evolved was only a spiritual stove of the fifth tier, but after evolving, it could already be called a spiritual stove of the fourth tier. After two evolutions, it even reached the peak of the fourth tier. And furthermore, these evolved spiritual stoves would be a lot more stable and intertwined with the body, making the process of the fusion a lot more difficult. And moreover, he still had the fairy of light, Yating. After following Long Haochen, Yating had already evolved three times. Let alone him, even a lot of powerhouses that reached the eighth or the ninth step didnt necessarily make their spiritual stoves evolve that often. Three evolutions gave Yating a nearly corporeal body, and in the Illusory Paradise, she had managed to obtain vital energy of her own. In some kind of sense, she was already not as simple as a mere spiritual stove, and her intelligence was substantial. As long as she kept evolving, she would one day finally reach the level of an intelligent spiritual stove which Long Haochen had mentioned before. And that day, she would reach the highest possible tier as a spiritual stove. For this reason, when Long Haochen fused his Saint Spiritual Stove and his fairy of light Yating, the difficulty was a lot harder than for anyone else. Of course, the pain Long Haochen had to bear was absolutely not the fiercest; at least Caier had an even harder time than him. At the same time, Caier was also seated in the green pool. She was a bit pale and sweat was rapidly dripping down from her face. Around her, some grey streams of air were undting, and the breath of life felt somehow ipatible with the intense killing intent. Under her terrifying killing intent, her clothes had actuallypletely faded away, and her pure white skin was continuously covered with sweat. It could be clearly seen that at the middle part of her chest a surge of ash-grey glitter emerged unceasingly, causing the surrounding killing intent to rise continuously. Although Long Haochens spiritual stoves had both evolved several times, Caier after all had three stoves, of which one had just evolved. The difficulty of fusing three spiritual stoves was exponentially higher than doing the same with two of them. Thus, even though Long Haochens two spiritual stoves had evolved for a total of five times, the pain he had to bear was far from the one endured by Caier. Different people were bound to have totally different experiences during the fusion of their spiritual stoves, and this was still valid even if two people didnt differ so much in cultivation, or in the spiritual stoves they had assimted. This was because the state of mind had a great impact on the process of fusion. Caier was undoubtedly filled with an unswerving determination, and this became the case especially after she followed Long Haochen. The gloom in her had gradually been illuminated by his radiance, which could be said to have improved her nature. Indomitable when facing difficulties, she would keep fighting as long as it was for Long Haochens sake, and never ck off at anytime. Her three spiritual stoves were the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove and the newly obtained Spiritual Stove of True Shadow. Undoubtedly, the Spiritual Stove of Samsara upied the leading position among the three. At the split second the process of fusion started, the terrifying power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara burst out instantly, immediately overpowering and crushing the other two spiritual stoves, before starting to assimte the other two. Absorbing the fragments and energy from the other two, the Spiritual Stove of Samsara was indeed tyrannical. One may well ask what sensation it would be to have two spiritual stoves breaking into pieces inside your body. At that time, it wasnt only Caiers clothes that were annihted, but even her whole body showed signs of not being capable of bearing it. It was fortunate that her assimtion of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara had taken ce long before, and that she could fully use its devastating power. After passing through ten years of fusion, the Spiritual Stove of Samsara gained perfect harmony with her body, thus even when her body was breaking apart, the Spiritual Stove of Samsara gave off some energy to protect her. However, even so, the Spiritual of Samsara was only protecting her body and didnt lessen the pain. Just think, what kind of pain woulde out from having your own body being torn to shreds? Thus, at that instant, Caiers body felt extremely numb, before an iparable pain hit her, plunging her in an even more terrifying state than at the time of her initial assimtion of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Even if it was Long Haochen instead of Caier, he would perhaps have screamed miserably. However, Caier didnt. Having been tormented by the Spiritual Stove of Samsara since being a three years old girl, she was extremely tenacious, and kept clenching her teeth and bitterly bearing the pain. The fusion between three spiritual stoves was just far too challenging. Even with the lead of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, she still faced an extreme and unavoidable danger. Because the others had just absorbed their newly obtained spiritual stoves, the process of their fusion wasnt as hard for them as for Long Haochen and Caier. However, this was the first time obtaining a spiritual stove for all of them, and the familiarity of their contract with their brand new stoves was limited. Thus, the process of fusion wasnt a breeze for them either. To the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, this trial could only be described as an extreme challenge. Their strength, their willpower as well as their determination permitted them to face it, but in case of failure, they would very probably not only lose their spiritual stoves, but also their qualifications to remain a team of equal peers. Everyone clearly understood this, and thus absolutely didnt give up. Wang Yuanyuan was waiting silently, surrounded by a boundless sight of green, as a dense vitality was emerging from her body. She could even sense her own external spiritual energy being imperceptibly strengthened. However, she was not in the mood to immerse herself in enjoying the benefits from having her external spiritual energy go up. Chapter 340 - Fusing Spiritual Stoves (III)

Chapter 340: Fusing Spiritual Stoves (III)

After not being able to undergo the third trial, she could only wait here and couldnt do anything else. Because she didnt want to bring troubles to her mates, she didnt attempt to leave. And close to three hours had already passed. The Illusory Paradise would open for a total of only three days, thus after three hours of bitter wait, even Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but start cultivating. Otherwise, she wouldnt be able to refrain from leaving. Loneliness was after all often an even greater torment than pain. Finally, with a glint of golden light, a figure appeared near Wang Yuanyuan, surrounded by a green glow. Ah! Right after appearing, this person couldnt help but scream. As his body spasmed violently, he fell to the ground andnded on his butt. Are you okay? Wang Yuanyuan hurried to ask with concern. The first one to appear was none other than Zhang Fangfang who had just broken through to the seventh step. Zhang Fangfang opened his mouth wide, taking deep breaths. On his forehead,rge amounts of sweat were flowing down. After a lot of difficulty, he finally rxed, and after he took a deep breath, he replied to Wang Yuanyuan with a smile, Im alright. Wang Yuanyuan unhappily asked, Are you really alright? Thest time you said that, you were already close to bing handicapped. Zhang Fangfang revealed a smile, scratching his own head, I am really all right. However, the fusion of spiritual stoves was far too tormenting. If not for the fact that I had just reached the seventh step and had a sufficient amount of spiritual energy to aplish the fusion, Im afraid that I wouldnt necessarily have managed this. Speaking of which, that Ye Xiaolei was really quite lenient, since my spiritual energy has reached 10,000 units after this breakthrough. It looks like she can really control and alter the regtions of the Illusory Paradise to some extent. Wang Yuanyuan appeared pleasantly surprised, The fusion was aplished? How did the spiritual stoves change? Standing up, Zhang Fangfang gave her a smile, Yes. I have given this spiritual stove I obtained after the fusion the name Spiritual Stove of Second Life. Take a look. Saying that casually, his eyes were lit up with a golden glint, and immediately afterwards, a golden brilliance appeared on his chest. Instantly, another Zhang Fangfang appeared in front of Wang Yuanyuan, but this one didnt have any equipment on him, forming an existence only made of golden light. This me possesses an eighth of my total spiritual energy, and can even use any weapon Ill give him. Hell listen to all my orders. I can summon him once a day, and the summon willst for a hour. I can ascertain that the fusion of the spiritual stoves caused them to gain great power. Wang Yuanyuan looked startled at that golden figure, filled with envy. This sort of cloning spiritual stove was close to reaching the second tier as a spiritual stove. That was already an incredible amplification! And this clone also persisted for a long time, but more importantly, it was able to use equipment as well. Although she didnt know what tier the spiritual stoves Zhang Fangfang had just obtained reached, a spiritual stove of the second tier was bound to raise his strength greatly. Relying on this, he was already qualified for the challenge to obtain a Mythril Foundation Armor. Seeing that Zhang Fangfang was already alright, she unconsciously drew back. When she was prepared to sit down again and keep waiting for herrades return, Zhang Fangfang suddenly asked, Yuanyuan, do you already have a boyfriend? Eh? Wang Yuanyuan turned around to look at him with a start. Seeing Zhang Fangfangs scorching look and the manly spirit filling him, she was somewhat fric, unconsciously replying, No, I dont. Then thats good. Zhang Fangfang visibly rxed at that reply. Wang Yuanyuans eyebrows went up, Why is that good? Do you think this girl cannot find anyone to like her? Zhang Fangfang immediately looked panicked, No, no, dont misunderstand me. Thats not what I meant. I just like you. When he said thesest few words, the two of them looked dumbfounded at each other . Wang Yuanyuan only felt a pain in her heart, but rapidly responded while carrying a serious face, But I dont like you. Did you think I would give my heart away just because you saved me? Let me tell you, I dont like men. For the fact that you saved me, I will make it up to you in the future. Saying that, she immediately turned her head away, and stopped looking at Zhang Fangfang. However, at the same time, she found out that her own heartbeat had gone wild, and when she finished giving this reply, a feeling of remorse totally unknown to her, instantly spread inside her. Zhang Fangfang didnt say anything and only looked at her silently. She didnt turn her head either, and the atmosphere started to be awkward. A good whileter, Zhang Fangfang seemed to have cheered up a little, and dered in a rough and gloomy sounding voice, Yuanyuan, I havent said that while believing that you came to like me. After all, we havent known each other for long, and regardless of whether you like me or whether you like men or women, my feelings for you wont change. Letting you know about them is enough for me. Wang Yuanyuans shoulders trembled, but without turning around she asked, What do you like in me? Her voice had clearly softened, and at that time, she thought of the scene when this man had dered that he was alright even with two handicapped hands. Zhang Fangfangs reply was Do you believe in love at first sight? This is my honest answer to this question. I can only say that I dont know. However, I feel very d that fate enabled me to meet you. Wang Yuanyuan fell silent once again, and Zhang Fangfang didnt say anything further. As the expression on his face looked more rxed, he sat cross-legged at the same ce, attentively watching the tall and slender girl standing before him. Right at that time, a second silhouette came out in a green light. His miserable appearance was even more unbearable than that of Zhang Fangfang. Immediately dropping t on his face, he embraced the ground. Surprised and scared by that sudden turn of events, Wang Yuanyuan hastily stood up to see that it was Han Yu who fell to the ground. Han Yu wasnt only gasping for breath, but immediately fell unconscious. Without giving Wang Yuanyuan the time to step forward, a golden light fell urately on Han Yu. It was Great Recovery, a single targeted healing spell of the light element. Zhang Fangfang steadily pushed his hands on Han Yus chest, sensing the changes on his body. A bitter, Zhang Fangfang said with a rxed voice, Hes alright. If I am not mistaken, his fusion should have seeded too. Theres a very gentle yet tenacious form of spiritual energy of light in his chest. It is certainly the power of a spiritual stove. Wang Yuanyuan nodded before looking at the serious Zhang Fangfang and said, Then thats good. The two of them looked at each other, but Wang Yuanyuan immediately escaped right after that, turning her head away again. She didnt dare look further at Zhang Fangfang, unexpectedly quite afraid to see the serious look in his eyes. Roughly half an hourter, Han Yu gradually came back to his senses. Just like Zhang Fangfang said, his trial had been sessful. After fusing, the two spiritual stoves became a brand new one, called Protection of Light. This spiritual stove was a formidable one, and could be used under any circumstances, allowing Han Yu to unleash a protection of light over a range of five meters. This protection of light could reach a defensive power three times stronger than his own power, reaching the defensive strength of a Divine Obstruction. At the same time, when he would use the Protection of Light, in the covered area, except from those of darkness elemental properties, the spiritual energy from everyone inside would be recovered at a tenfold speed until reaching its peak. Without a doubt, this spiritual stove would strengthen along with him. The only pity was that after this fusion, the Protection of Light seemed unable to evolve. As a whole, this spiritual stove was still a bit inferior to the Spiritual Stove of Second Life belonging to Zhang Fangfang. Lin Xin was the next one to appear from a green mist of light, looking totally worn out. Hey, has-drugs bro, are you okay? If the fusion failed just let it be, its okay as long as you are alright. Wang Yuanyuan said, trying to console him. Han Yu said with a bitter face, This fusion was just too hard, to the point that even his control over fire turned out insufficient. Who said that I failed? Im just pained over my hair. Reaching this point, Lin Xin couldnt help but keep crying. Nheless, his appearance was enough to cause anyone to feel sympathy. His magic gown was burnt to scrap, and on his head was just arge ck swatch of hair. His graceful dark green hair waspletely reduced to charcoal, and the same went for his eyebrows. Nheless, looking at him, he was in a better state than Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang at that time. At least he didnt copse immediately. Wang Yuanyuan dered unhappily, Just let him cry, until he dies of it. What is there to feel sorry for the loss of your hair. This is good too; youll be bald just like Sima. It will make you look more like a man. Perhaps sister Xiner will like you even more. Really? Lin Xins crying voice dissipated a little, as he raised his head, his eyes still hazy with tears, and asked. Wang Yuanyuan shryly replied, Nope, that was a lie. Zhang Fangfang said with a smile, No matter what, we have so far at least all seeded. I hope the others will clear their trials sessfully too. After no less than half an hour, Chen Yinger and Sima Xian appeared nearly at the same time. It was just that the two of them were in totally different shapes. Chen Yinger looked messy, and immediately fell unconscious in Wang Yuanyuans arms, her clothes were soaked with sweat and had gonepletely transparent. She couldnt bear it any longer and, and copsed with great effect. Sima Xians appearance was even more miserable than hers. At the time he appeared, he looked like a piece of barbecue meat. He smashed onto the ground, carrying a fragrant smell of burnt meat. His skin looked totally carbonized, and some parts of his flesh really looked roasted. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang healed him with their full strength, before Sima Xian could atst be considered to havee back to life. But the two of them were still unconscious, and didnt wake up even after half an hour. In particr, Sima Xian had really sustained very serious damage to his body. Taking Lin Xins pills, and getting healed only kept him barely alive and no more. It was hard to say whether there would be seque form the aftermath. A golden light ripped through the green light, and a golden figure emerged from the fog of light. Of the light element, Sima Xian, Han Yu, and Zhang Fangfang had all already appeared, and Long Haochen was thest one left to appear. However, right at that time, everyone looked simply lifeless. This was because from that green fog of light, a slender and smooth pure-white leg appeared. Chapter 341 - It’s different? Your thigh…(I)

Chapter 341: Its different? Your thigh(I)

There was no mistake about the fact that they recognized the light element, but thest user of the light element left was Long Haochen.?Could he just have had a gender change? Seeing that long and slender thigh, everyone felt sluggish. Their eyes wide open and their mouths agape, they looked about to cry out in total rm. Still, that slender thigh fortunately didnt appear naked. After twenty centimeters of thigh had appeared in the midst of this green light, a mild golden battle-skirt promptly appeared and covered the remaining part above. This could at least prevent everyone from having wild and fancy thoughts. In the midst of these lifeless stares, a sweet-looking beauty came out of the fog. Fully grown, she reached a height of over a meter and seventy centimeters, approximately the size of Wang Yuanyuan, and carried a beauty that gave off the feeling of a divine existence. A golden battle-skirt protected her most important ces, but her chest aside, her arms and thighs, gave off the milky white precious feeling of a gem, and on her forehead was a golden caltrop-shaped gem. This elegant face carried a dim smile, and in her right hand was a two meter long golden staff, embedded with a golden gem emitting a soft splendor. Her beauty gave a sacred feeling without the slightest w, and her fair legs didnt directly touch the ground, but floated around a fifth of a meter high in the air. Sensing everyones sluggish gazes, the girl had a smile on her face, Dont you recognize me? You You are Lin Xin cried out in shock. The staff in the right hand of the girl lit up with light, as the upper part of her body bent forward. Immediately afterwards, three pairs of wings abruptly spread on her back, like petals of a flower. Each of the bright wings had the transparent look of butterfly wings, but was a lotrger. The instant they spread out, a sunlight-like halo immediately appeared under the girl, as a soft golden fog of light revolved around her body. Yating! Everyone cried out simultaneously, looking foolishly at the fairy. Was that really the Light Elemental Fairy they had robbed from the hands of the demons under Long Haochens lead? This Was this for real? It was no wonder that they were in such a state of shock as the current Yating looked nearly the same as a human. If she were tond on the ground and retract her wings, she would simply look the same as a normal human girl. As she was now, she seemed nowhere close to an entity made of pure energy. Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but move closer and touch Yatings hand, feeling her softness, warmth and the satiny skin. It felt very good to the touch. You obtained your adult form? More urately speaking, she should have be a real fairy, actually a different kind of fairy than she was before. Long Haochens voice resounded, and immediately afterwards, he stepped out from the same green fog in the air. Inparison to the others, he appeared almost unaffected. Not looking exhausted in any way, he just gave a strange look to Yating. The current Yating was the result from the fusion of the two spiritual stoves, and this could be called a fortuitous change. The Illusory Paradise was undoubtedly the most fitting ce for a fairy to live, and because of this coincidence of fate, Yating had absorbed a huge amount of vital and light essence. All her wounds had beenpletely healed , and she had obtained a corporeal body in the process. Of course, she didnt really be human. She still remained an entity made of energy. However, it was just that the energy reached such a high level of condensation that it produced an almost physical entity. Just like Long Haochen said, she was now a real fairy and not just an elemental fairy anymore. The Saint Spiritual Stove was inparison visibly weaker than Yating. Its attractive ability had been simrly absorbed by Yating, and even Long Haochens broken Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was now incorporated into Yatings body. Even if it got restored in the future, Long Haochen would need Yating to hand it to him to use it. The case Long Haochen had worried over still happened, and the attractive ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove changed in the process of fusion, bing a part of Yatings abilities. As a whole, the fusion could be said to be a benefit entirely for Yating. Of course, Yating was still Long Haochens spiritual stove, and their agreement didnt change, but only solidified the direct connection between their thoughts. The difference from before was that the current Yating was an individual of her own, blessed with the ability to think for herself and intelligence. Now, she could act as a real independent light mage. She was capable of aplishing everything a light mage of the same rank could aplish, maybe even better than thetter. As for the growth of her strength, it all depended on Long Haochen. To Yating, this change was truly very satisfying, and her view of Long Haochen had changed entirely. This was however the thing that gave Long Haochen the greatest headache. He was the most unwilling to see Caier be unhappy over Yatings change. He would be happy to act as Yatings friend, but there could never be anything more than that. How beautiful! If I didnt already have Xiner, I would have really fallen for you. Lin Xin dered without any shame, carrying a pitiful expression that caused all the others to be unable to help but reveal a smile despite the situation. Long Haochen told Yating, Please change back to your original size. Yating pouted in response, But master, this will reduce my strength. Long Haochen revealed a forced smile, It should do if you go back to the size you had before. At the time we will need you to go all out, you can juste back to this form. Yatings evolution gave her even the ability of human speech. Okay. Yating nodded, somewhat dissatisfied, and under the regretful male gazes, the halo of light vanished as she returned rapidly to a small size. This reduction in size was very thorough, to the point that she was now only about a third of a meter in length, flying to Long Haochens shoulder where she sat. Although she already returned to a small size, Long Haochen still felt a bit awkward about her sitting on his shoulder. But he had already ordered Yating to do something she didnt want to do out of selfishness, so asking for more wouldnt be good. Turning around and looking at that dark green fog, Long Haochens gaze grew frantic, as he murmured the words, Now we are only missing Caier. Indeed, currently everyone had already returned with the exception of Caier. Since Sima Xian and Chen Yinger appeared to be seriously injured, he could temporarily not ask them about their trials. The possibility of the spiritual stoves being lost couldnt be excluded. Yating didnt stay idle and released healing spells one after another, aiming them at Sima Xian and Chen Yinger. Regarding healing, she was a lot more reliable than Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang. Having someone who could really heal also meant that the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad was no longercking a priest. Time passed minute after minute, and Long Haochens look only became more and more frantic. Unconsciously clenching his fists, he prayed unceasingly: Caier, you cant let something happen to you! You definitely have to be sessful! He was already filled with regrets, regretting that he added one more spiritual stove for Caier to take in. If this had been only about fusing the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stoves, the trial would have been easier for her. While Long Haochen was filled with regrets, a sweet voice resounded in his mind, Great fool, youre worried arent you? Serves you right. Ill bring you to her ce, shes already totally powerless, and needs you to bring her back. This was Ye Xiaoleis voice! Long Haochen rejoiced at this statement and hurriedly nodded in response. In a sh of green light, he twisted his own body anew, and immediately afterwards, Long Haochen disappeared into the green light. However, Yating was repelled by that green light and was not able to enter alongside Long Haochen. When his sight cleared again, he found himself in the same green pool where the fusion of spiritual stoves took ce. The water here was actually not so deep, and purely made of vital energy. Regardless of the situation, he just felt as cozy as when soaking in this deep water. ording to Ye Xiaoleis words, this was not the same ce where he had been, but the ce where Caiers fusion of spiritual stoves took ce. But just where was Caier? Although Long Haochen felt agitated deep inside, he still calmed himself down, and didnt search blindly. Slowly closing his eyes, he relied on his mental strength to strengthen his own perception, looking for traces of Caiers presence. This deep green space looked endless, but Long Haochen very rapidly found traces of her with his great mental strength. Immediately, a weak living energy was sensed by him. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his eyes and headed to the ce where his senses led him, toward that living presence. It was Caier! Coming closer, Long Haochen discovered Caier with a mere nce. At her current state, her body waspletely soaked into the green liquid, with only her face floating above the water, looking pale to a threatening degree. If not for the weak living pulse that still remained, she would perhaps look like a corpse floating above the water. Caier! Long Haochen called out grudgingly, and hurriedly threw himself at her, giving her a hug. This hug wasnt anything serious, but he immediately looked sluggish. Entering in contact with her delicate skin, even with the presence of the deep green liquid, he clearly felt this tender tactile sensation. Her exquisite curves and all parts of her were bare. Under this touch, Long Haochen felt something simr to an electric shock. Although Caier and he had been together for quite long now, the two of them were after all of young age and ignorant regarding things between males and females. With the fear of harming her, Long Haochen had been staying reserved and only gave her at most kisses and hugs. But he had never directly touched her skin like that. At this very moment, although he didnt even carry Caier out of the water, he could feel every single part of her body. This was his first time having such a kind of feeling of closeness. However, Long Haochens sluggishness onlysted for a short moment, and in spite of the intense changes in his heart and his embarrassment, Caiers safety mattered the most to him. He bit the tip of his own tongue that caused a sharp pain, to awaken his own mind and slowly poured his own soft holy spiritual energy into Caiers body. Chapter 342 - It’s different? Your thigh… (II)

Chapter 342: Its different? Your thigh (II)

Long Haochen infused her very slowly with his spiritual energy, out of fear to cause harm to Caiers body. After some of his spiritual energy had streamed into Caiers body, he managed to sense her condition through his spiritual energy. Caiers body was in a terrible state, many of her energy channels were destroyed and some of the most important meridians were almost severed. Only the fantastic dark green vital energy barely kept them attached. Using the words hanging by a thread to describe Caiers condition would be no exaggeration. If not for the immersion in the vitalizing green pool, it would have taken her merely a little instant to die. Sensing the danger Caier was in, Long Haochen was shaken even more violently deep inside, and his steady stream of spiritual energy was released even more carefully. A gentle Holy Mantle spread onwards, wrapping Caier and him inside. It wasnt that Long Haochen wasnt capable of using more powerful healing spells, but Caiers current state was just too weak. Therefore, he didnt dare to use high intensity spells to heal her, only prudently restoring her body. He couldnt be overly hasty or else, he would very possibly produce the opposite effect. After an unknown amount of time passed, Caiers damaged energy channels were finally restored, and although this couldnt be called aplete healing, it was at least guaranteed that all her energy channels were reconnected. Deep inside, he thanked Ye Xiaolei from his heart. Caiers energy channels had been severely damaged, but because of the care given by the Illusory Paradise, those damaged channels were barely preserved by the gentle energy of life, that not only saved Caiers life but also made it a lot easier for him to treat her. The Holy Mantle that surrounded Caier didnt cease its healing effect from beginning to end. As Caiers body gradually recovered, one surge of energy after another entered her energy channels, and was absorbed along with the vital energy from the surroundings. With the help from Long Haochens healing magic, Caiers recovery sped up. Eh A long timeter, Caiers body shook slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. However, Long Haochen once again wore a sluggish look, and it was exactly because of Caiers shaking. It was strong enough to affect him and caused the careless move that followed. His right hand slipped on her chest, and grabbed a mellow and soft rising mound. His fingers and palm cupped it, and even if he had been more ignorant in this regard, he would still have known what he was touching! At the instant that happened, Caiers eyes were already open and she happened to feel the warmth of hisrge hand on her. Staring at each other, the two looked just as dull as their counterpart. You Caiers trembling voice was light, and a rose-colored blush appeared on her face, spreading smoothly even to her neck. I I Long Haochen didnt know how to react. Moving his hand wasnt the solution, and getting out of the way wasnt right either. And his astonishing impulse actually urged him to continue. Raising her arms with an exaggerated movement, Caiers pearly white teeth bit her own lips as she held Long Haochen with both of her hands, pressing her own body even closer to his. Not daring to look at him any further, she could feel her own heartbeat elerate as her level of panic increased. However, her panic and shyness aside, she felt more satisfied than anything else. Caiers past experience was only filled with darkness and loneliness, but ever since meeting Long Haochen, her heart kept changing ceaselessly. Every time she encountered dangers or difficulty, her idiot was the first to join her side every time. In Long Haochens eyes, this was just natural, but in Caiers eyes, this was the greatest happiness. After experiencing the inhuman pain from the fusion of her spiritual stoves, the first one she saw after regaining consciousness was him. The feeling of intimacy from her body reached an embarrassing level, but first of all, the first one she got to see after experiencing all this pain was her beloved man. What could please her more than that? Thus, she didnt me Long Haochen in any way, and on top of that, she trusted in Long Haochen not being the kind of person to take advantage of somebodys weaknesses. The gentle light essence filling her body was already proof that he was just healing her. Or perhaps did he happen to heal her at that ce? When one really loved another person exceedingly, no matter what mistakes the loved one would make, the lover would often only see their good points. However, this in turn brought Long Haochen a totally different sensation. At every special ce of his body, Long Haochen felt his willpower being exposed to an even more terrible trial than at the time of the fusion between his spiritual stoves. His whole body was stiff from that. Never forget that he is after all a young and vigorous little virgin. Furthermore, he matured a lot faster than the others of his age, and his level of maturity was. Idiot, why are you still not giving me clothes to put on? Caiers face was buried in his chest as she spoke these words in a small voice. Oh, yeah. Hearing Caiers words, Long Haochen hurried to take out some of his own clothes from the Eternal Melody. Not worrying about the clothes she was given to wear, Caier already stood up from the pool of water. Her movement was very fast, and with a turn of her body, Long Haochens clothing already covered up her figure. However, because she was only d in upper garment, the sight of her slender thighs was unavoidable, and in spite of the cover that it formed at the crucial area, this gave off an all the more mysterious alluring feeling. Long Haochen foolishly looked at her. His eyesight was iparably good, and although he only had a nce at Caiers changing, he still saw what he shouldnt have seen, and seemed to have seen everything. Now, he didnt even dare move, for fear that the fiery feeling in his heart would surge out. Not daring to show any affectionate movement towards Caier, he was currently like a fire surrounded by surges of oil, ready to turn into raging mes anytime. Seeing his thoroughly red face, Caier only sneaked a nce at him before running to his back, You are not permitted to peep. Oh, yeah. Long Haochen gave an answer with difficulty, but the sight of his adams apple gulping back his saliva sold him off. Caier thighs looked different than Yatings. Long Haochen found out to his shock that a certain thought reached his brain. This thought was that Yating was certainly beautiful, from her long and slender legs to her perfectly straight, rich and wless figure, but although Caiercked a lot inparison, her leg had a sleek curve and her body a sweet scent very unique to young human girls. More importantly, seeing her leg, although Long Haochen felt bashful, it felt like releasing him of all burdens. Alright, time for us to go now. Caiers soft voice sounded at his back. In a mechanical motion, Long Haochen turned around, immediately seeing that Caier had changed back into some of her own ck clothing that covered all of her bodys beauty. She also handed Long Haochens clothes back to him. Loosening his own breath, Long Haochen recovered his own clothes, but when he touched Caiers fingertips, he became unable to hold back the burning feeling in his chest, and immediately drew himself closer to her to capture her lips with a kiss. His hand also fell carelessly on the same ce where he had touched her back then in the water, carelessly kneading the tender swelling in spite of the clothes. The Scion of Light was not a saint! And even if he had been a saint, there would surely still have been times when he would have been unable to hold back to some extent. Because Caiers injuries had been critically severe, so Long Haochen had wanted to stabilize her for the time being. Thus, even if the feelings filling his heart were burning, he only let them emerge for a bit before leading Caier back to the Illusory Shrine in a rush. Yating, heal Caier! Long Haochennded, and told Yating who felt still a bit unsatisfied about having been abandoned by him just before. The current Caier was still weak, and didnt notice any difference about Yating. Long Haochen turned in Zhang Fangfangs direction, Brother Zhang, please stay here for a bit longer, I have to send off myrades first of all. This method is our teams greatest secret, so please dont ask or tell others about it. Zhang Fangfan nodded in response, Be at ease. Saying that he directly walked in front of Wang Yuanyuan, Hit me. Wang Yuanyuan became nk. With a deep look at her, Zhang Fangfang continued, This way I wont see, nor hear or sense anything. Isnt that the best way to guard this secret? Long Haochen said with haste, Brother Zhang, theres no need to go to such Before he even finished, Wang Yuanyuans hand hit Zhang Fangfangs side with a cutting motion. Instantly, his body became limp and fell to the ground under Wang Yuanyuans support. Lin Xin couldnt help but react by saying, Yuanyuan, so you really put your hands to use like that! Wang Yuanyuan shot him a nce, asking, Do you want me to do the same to you. Dont, theres no need. Lin Xin repeatedly waved his hands with haste. Wang Yuanyuan gave a look to the unconscious Zhang Fangfang thinking secretly in rage,?Serves you right, to perturb my heart! Since it was already gettingte, Long Haochen didnt dare waste any more time. Leaving Zhang Fangfang, Caier and Yating there, he triggered the Eternal Melody and transported hisrades back. Sima Xian and Chen Yingers injuries were already stabilized; it was just that they were still in deep sleep. Their wounds were actually not as critical as Caiers, and after some prolonged healing, they just needed some nursing for the time being. With a glint of golden light, Long Haochen returned to the Illusory Shrine. Sensing the changes on the light essence in the air, he couldnt help but let some surprise show from his eyes. After his awakening as a gods chosen one, his control over the light element was visibly a lot stronger, to the extent that he managed to manipte the Eternal Melody all the more smoothly. Atop of that, he was already back to the Illusory Shrine, and wasnt in the Illusory Paradise anymore. Thus, getting transported back didnt take up so much spiritual energy. After waking Zhang Fangfang and letting Yating return into his own body, Long Haochen led the group of three out of the Illusory Shrine. Three days wasnt a long period but it wasnt short either. Both the Temple Alliance and the demons were waiting impatiently outside the shrine. After all, this time, very important figures from both sides had participated. Chapter 343 - It’s different? Your thigh… (III)

Chapter 343: Its different? Your thigh (III)

On the demons side, the ten chosen candidates were young powerhouses of great lineage, whereas from the Temple Alliance ten promising Demon Hunters, including the Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara, had participated. Therefore, both sides were nervous beyondpare. As soon as they saw a figure emerge from that dark green shrine, Ling Xiao and Huang Shuo couldnt help but stand up, and swiftly rushed to thekeside. Both parties powerhouses were in a state of mutual hostility, and in case any change urred, a battle could very possibly break out any moment. Long Haochen was walking in the front, and seeing him, Han Qian felt a great load fall off from his mind. Unconsciously he gave a look to the Temple Knight who calmly watched Long Haochen, making good preparations in case of the demons possible attacks. Behind Long Haochen followed Caier, and then came Zhang Fangfang. Ying Suifeng and Ling Xiao rxed at the same time. No matter what one could say, the most important thing was that the Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara returned safely. And looking at them, they undoubtedly didnte back empty-handed. However, Ling Xiaos expression rapidly grew unsightly, because they were the only three toe back from the Illusory Paradise. As for the captain of the ck Dragons imperial guard Huang Shuo, his expressions grew all the more unsightly. The fact that the humans were the first toe out was no good news to him. Rapidly, Long Hoachens group of three returned to the side of the Temple Alliance. The others didnte out yet? Ling Xiao asked Long Haochen. Long Haochen let out a sigh, lowering his head. His expression already told a lot to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiaos face immediately looked ashened. These had been Demon Hunters frommander-grade Demon Hunt Squads! Their loss implied that seven Demon Hunt Squads were in danger of breaking apart, and the me for this would be for the Priest Temple to bear. Long Haochen coldly looked at the demons, saying in a severe tone, The ten demons that came this time had all suppressed their cultivation, and none of them were powerhouses below the eighth step. Their external spiritual energy reached 20,000 units for each of them. Under these circumstances, we were basically no opponents. What? Ling Xiao lost his voice in surprise. On the other side, Han Qian pulled Long Haochens sleeve, signalising him not to say anything further. Without a doubt, the me that the Priest Temple would shoulder this time was enormous, because they were the ones to initiate this coboration with the demons. Long Haochen turned his head to look at Han Qian, nodding to his ancestor and showing his understanding. Ling Xiaos aura became visibly unsteady. The human powerhouses from the side of the Temple Alliance all started to turn hostile, and were ready to attack at any time. However, Huang Shuos side didnt shudder in fear. As the captain of the Devil Dragons, he reached the conclusion that they surpassed the human group as a whole, and that these opponents were nothing to fear. However, Huang Shuo still did his utmost to suppress the killing intent filling him, because he had clearly sensed over these days that a formidable presence was concealed among the enemies. Its terrifying threat even shocked him. It seemed to him that as long as they acted against the other party, a risk of suffering destructive damage would befall them. In fact, Huang Shuo wasnt an ordinary powerhouse of the ninth step. His strength already reached the peak of the second rank of the ninth step, his total spiritual energy reaching close to 300,000 units. Even for the demons, this level was attained only by a few powerhouses. He acted as the representative of the Demon God Emperor and yet perceived the enemy as a threat, so this hidden powerhouse had to reach a terrifying level of strength. With him here, in case a battle broke out, the damage their demon group would sustain would certainly be considerable. They were after all in the human territory. Long Haochen shouted aloud, However, the demons also paid a considerable price this time. Although they were all powerhouses that came this time, among them were several sessors of demon gods. Their group was led by the sessor of the Demon God Emperor, AhBao. Still, they didnt pay a low price either. Saying that, with a flick of his hand, he revealed a ck me in his hand. This me clearly didnt emit the holy properties rted to Long Haochen, and everyone saw the shape of crystal crown appear in his hand. This was exactly the Crown of Heritage from that Fiend of Blue mes named Shen Shang. Seeing this magical crystal, the powerhouses from the Temple Alliance couldnt help but cry out in surprise. This confirmed Long Haochens prior words without a doubt. On the other side, Huang Shuos look became all the more ugly. Of course, he recognized the owner of this magical crystal. Although the owner of that crystal wasnt the most powerful demon that participated this time, he was still at least among the top five in overall strength. No matter what, he had no idea how this crystal could have fallen into Long Haochens hands. Seeing his appearance, he didnt reach twenty years in age. Humans and demons were not the same, and he could tell his rough age at a mere nce. Indifferently, Long Haochen produced a brilliant flicker of light, as his eyes were filled with an ice-cold look. The stare he gave Huang Shuo didnt give off a weak impression. At least, three human survivors left the Illusory Paradise this time. As for you Reaching this point, he deliberately paused his words. Even if Huang Shuo was calm, he still couldnt help but be in great turmoil at that time. Looking at the distant Illusory Shrine, he immediately became pale. In fact, this time only demons acting as sessors of the top four demon gods had participated. It was for the sake of obtaining some spiritual stoves while obeying a secret order of the Demon God Emperor that they came. If these sessors had all died in the Illusory Paradise, the blow inflicted to the demons would be iparable. It would possibly even shake the foundation of the demons. Since Long Haochen took out one Crown of Heritage, who said that he wouldnt have other Crowns of Heritage? Hearing his tone, Huang Shuos group was not optimistic about the situation of their team in the Illusory Paradise. Speak, what happened to them? Huang Shuo reacted in fury, while his threatening aura abruptly rose. The terrifying oppressive power almost instantly reached its peak, and even in the entrance to a living heaven filled with vital energy like Illusory Paradise, the whole area was filled with darkness instantly. Ling Xiao answered with a cold snort and his hands shed golden. From the milky white staff in his hand, a gentle golden brilliance spread to the surroundings, easily blocking the rich breath of darkness, and affecting their whole side with a drizzling light splendor. Understanding Long Haochens intention, he didnt utter a single word, and gave him room to handle the matter. The powerhouses from the Temple Alliance also drew their weapons sessively, preparing to enter battle mode at any time. The pressure spread by Huang Shuo didnt affect Long Haochen in any way. Instead, he exposed an indifferent smile on his face, Why should I tell you anything? Huang Shuo gave him a cold look, If something has happened to them, we will inevitably tread on the Southern Mountains City and spare no cost to kill all humans up to thest man. This sentence was said categorically and without any hesitation from his side. He didnt know so much about the other ns, but he had a particr understanding on the Devil Dragon lineage. At the present time, the Demon God Emperor of the Devil Dragon n had only two children, AhBao and Leng Xiao, and both had entered the Illusory Paradise this time. In his opinion, given AhBaos strength, he wouldnt possibly have encountered any trouble in the Illusory Paradise, no matter the circumstances. The reason those three humans were still alive could only be out of his leniency. They were bound to return with great gains from this trip. This was the important reason why the demons were willing to pay such a great price for the chance to enter the Illusory Paradise. However, he absolutely didnt expect this twist. It could indeed be seen that the casualties on the human side were disastrous, since only three of the ten that had entered returned alive. And judging from Caiers appearance, she was surely in a very weak state. But more importantly, none of the demons from their group had yet returned alive! The greatest disadvantage of the demons during this operation was theirck of understanding regarding the Illusory Paradise. All the understanding they had was issued from the Demon God Emperors deductions as well as the predictions from the Star Demon God. No matter what could be said, at least AhBao, and Leng Xiao hadnte back yet, and there was still the daughter of the Moon Demon God to consider. The Moon Demon Gods side was still better off, since this time, it could be said that Yue Ye got a ce only because of her rtionship with AhBao. But none of the Devil Dragons could be afforded to be lost! Although the Demon God Emperor was still young in age, his reproducing ability had reached the state where he couldnt possibly have other children. Under these circumstances, if Leng Xiao or AhBao were to have died in battle inside the Illusory Paradise, this would be a devastating catastrophe to the Devil Dragon n. Since time immemorial, the Devil Dragons were led by the sessive generations of Demon God Emperors, inheriting the pure lineage of the Devil Dragon bloodline. Never before had a Demon God Emperor of another bloodline been chosen, and atop of that, AhBao had already gained a definite prestige within the Devil Dragon n. It reached the point that if they had died in battle, the Demon God Emperor was bound to be totally furious and could only take out his anger on him and his group. For this reason, Huang Shuos eyes looked red. He appeared calm but was only filled with ideas of cruelty and ughter. He was already prepared to blow these opponents to kingdome, and would rather die here than return and bear the fury of the Demon God Emperor. Indifferently giving a vague expression, Long Haochen revealed a cold look from the bottom of his eye, Its not impossible for you to learn about their whereabouts. And I can even tell you that they were not all killed in battle, and that some are still alive. However, just why should I tell you anything? Long Haochen said that in a very calm manner, and his face didnt show any superfluous expression. Hearing him say this, Han Qian and Ling Xiao both couldnt help but smile. This kid was indeed just too intelligent. They obviously could tell that if Huang Shuo was made overly anxious and start a fight, the demons would admittedly face huge losses, but would the humans really be able to weather the conflict unscathed? In fact, this was not the recently embattled Southern Mountains City, which formed a natural fortress. And this time, the overwhelming majority of the demons that came were powerhouses of the ninth step. Even if they had just crossed the threshold to the ninth step and didnt have any weapon on them, they were still the ck Dragon Guard! Chapter 344 - Ten Devil Dragon Crystals (I)

Chapter 344: Ten Devil Dragon Crystals (I)

Thus, these demons didnt really want to have a battle, and the same was valid for the humans. Long Haochensst sentence seemed simple, but revealed a lot to Huang Shuo. He was clearly telling Huang Shuo that although the demons team had suffered some losses in the Illusory Paradise, there still were some survivors. It was just that he didnt clearly exin the final situation. After giving Huang Shuo some hope, he naturally wouldnt enter a fight to the death. And not telling him theplete truth about the situation was naturally to get some more profit from the demons. Regarding this point, Ling Xiao and Han Qian were all very willing to see that happen. The loss of seven outstanding young Demon Hunters was a considerable blow to the Alliance, and even if their seven Demon Hunt Squads didnt end up entirely dissolved, they were bound to need some rearrangement. Under these circumstances, if they couldnt get some benefits from the demons, let alone the responsibility the Priest Temple would have to bear, even Han Qian wouldnt be able to escape taking responsibility. And given the nature of these two, they wouldnt possibly try to avoid shouldering it. Naturally, hearing Long Haochens words, Huang Shuos mood stabilized a bit, and raising his hands, he signalised his subordinates not to act rashly without thinking. Walking alone, he advanced in the direction of Long Haochen, and stopped about twenty meters away from Ling Xiao. To tell me about their situation, what do you want from me? Huang Shuo asked coldly. Long Haochen replied in a tranquil voice, I want ten crystals of Devil Dragons. You should have quite a few of these things, dont you? What did you say? In fury, Huang Shuo instantly projected killing intent towards him, all of which was blocked by Ling Xiao. The crystals from the Devil Dragons were not the samepared to Dragon Ointment. Dragon Ointment was a special substance that Devil Dragons would secrete naturally, serving as a fabulous tonic to humans and demons. But magical crystals werent the same. Every single magical crystal from the Devil Dragon n was not only a treasure, but could also be a symbol of the Devil Dragons ancestors. When one Devil Dragon powerhouse would pass away on the battlefield, all others would use every possible method to retrieve its corpse to return it as an offering to the Devil Dragon n. Even the Devil Dragons himself wouldnt use their own nsmens magical crystals unless encountering a life-threatening situation, to say nothing of giving it to humans. In the whole demon history, the times humans had obtained Devil Dragon crystals only numbered very few, and each of them had provoked a frantic counterattack from the demons. Even the Demon God Emperor would personally handle the matter in some cases. Long Haochen indifferently repeated his own words, emphasizing them this time even further, I want ten Devil Dragon crystals. And I want them immediately. The Illusory Shrine is on the verge of submerging so theres still time if you give me the magical crystals now, otherwise, if we wait for the Illusory Shrine to submerge, there will be no use even if you want to give them to me at that time. Let me emphasis that I dont want any demon to take offense or act against the Temple Alliance after I obtain these ten magical crystals, because it is a deal and not me taking them by force. Huang Shuo almost spouted out his own blood. What did this kid take the Devil Dragons magical crystals for? Mere sweets? Taking these by force? Just try if you dare! Turning his head to look at the Illusory Shrine, there was some truth in what Long Haochen had just said. The dark green radiance released from the Illusory Shrine started to gradually be weaker, and it seemed to be in the process of blending back into theke soon. Before, Ling Xiao had said that a Fairy Dragon had been living in theke for several dozen thousand years. Huang Shuo did not even have the slightest idea of its strength, but perhaps even the Demon God Emperor couldnt be sure to fight it victoriously. And even more importantly, at that time, would AhBaos group still be alive? Why should I trust you? Huang Shuo coldly looked at Long Haochen, And furthermore, I dont have so many magical crystals of my nsmen. I am only the leader of the ck Dragon Guard. The authority over our ns magical crystals is only under the prerogative of His Highness himself. Long Haochen shrugged his own shoulders, saying, In that case, theres nothing I can do. But even if you dont have that many magical crystals, arent there many of your nsmen here? For the sake of your crown prince, is it that you are not willing to pay the price of your lives? Huang Shuos breathing became all the more heavy. If this time, there had only been Devil Dragons around, things would have been better off, but that wasnt the case! There were many powerhouses from other ns present. These words from Long Haochen were just too vile. At this time, the looks the powerhouses gave Huang Shuo and the Devil Dragon Guardpletely changed. This was Long Haochens brilliant n. The great demon forces that came consisted of all kinds of powerhouses. More importantly, this time, among the demons that participated, were sessors of different ns. For this reason, these powerhouses were very concerned about the information, further adding the fact that this time, Long Haochen only asked for magical crystals from the Devil Dragon n. The other powerhouses immediately had a change in their attitude. In spite of how powerful the Devil Dragons were, they didnt dare say anything. However, a certain sentence came to their minds. For the sake of your crown prince, is it that you are not willing to pay the price of your lives??Moreover, hes the sessor of our entire race! Huang Shuo was trapped in a terrible predicament. After a short time of silence, Huang Shuo coldly looked at Long Haochen, Three crystals. I can only take out three of the crystals from my nsmen, and give these to you as exchange. Do you even have any proof that you could cause the Illusory Paradise to disappear temporarily and prevent my people froming out? Long Haochen gave him an indifferent smile, Three is impossible. I want only ten, and not a single more. But a single one less wont do either. Elder Huang, you should make up your mind as quickly as possible. Look. Saying these words, he pointed at the Illusory Shrine. Sure enough, at this time, the thorny undergrowth linking the Illusory Shrine to the shore had started to disappear. The bushes in the direction of the shore shrank down, and the outlines of the Illusory Shrine started to sway slightly like a mirage. You Huang Shuo turned pale with fright. If all the young demon powerhouses that entered had died in battle, he would admittedly certainly take the me, but this would be only the me for this specific matter. However, after Long Haochen said these words, his responsibility wasnt that simple any longer. It seemed even possible that the sessors of this many demon gods would have died because of hismanding error. At this time, themon anger would even be taken out on his family. Come. Huang Shuo shouted loudly. It seemed indeed strange that after this shout, the Illusory Shrine suddenly stopped to descend into the waters. With a start, Huang Shuo turned back to look at Long Haochen, noticing that he was lifting his left hand in the direction of the Illusory Shrine. An insipid green brilliance connected it to the Illusory Shrine. It looked as if he could really control the Illusory Shrine and prevent it from sinking down. I think that I showed enough of my good faith. However, I cannot keep waiting for much longer. Long Haochens voice was heavy as he said that. From behind Long Haochens back, Zhang Fangfang advanced to his side, raising up both of his hands before calmly yelling, Ten! Just as no one seemed to have understood what he meant, he retrieved a finger. Nine Eight Seven Crap! A countdown like this! How fierce! Han Qian and Ling Xiao looked dumbstruck at Long Haochen and Zhang Fangfang. Let alone Huang Shuo, even the two of them were nervous. Werent these stenchy youngsters a bit too bold? But no matter whether they could control the enemys intentions or not, their cooperation was just wless. Stop counting! Huang Shuo shouted in fury, waving his right hand and letting a light yellow leather bag fly in Long Haochens direction, without reducing any of the immense pressure he emitted. In a sh, Han Qian appeared in front of Long Haochen and recovered the leather bag. Opening it to look inside, he immediately saw a strong dark green radiance being released. Han Qian nked out, wearing a feverish expression, before swiftly closing the bag. He nodded in Long Haochens direction. Indifferently smiling, Long Haochen looked at Huang Shuo in amazement, I didnt expect Elder Huang to have really brought so many good things. Then I wont stand on formality. Thanks a lot. He was actually asking for such sky-high prices and had Zhang Fangfang pressure him with this countdown so that Huang Shuo would let go of his greatest treasures, but didnt expect him to really have what he asked. Hurry up and speak. How are AhBao and the others? Huang Shuo shouted in rage. He was already on the verge of exploding, and could start attacking at anytime. Right at this time, the powerhouses from the Temple Alliance were just as nervous, and that concealed Temple Knight who had had a small talk with Han Qian stared at Huang Shuo coldly, aiming his oppressive power directly at Huang Shuo. The others didnt perceive anything, but Huang Shuo was stifled by the extremely tyrannical oppressive power. Before drawing a few steps back, his face changed once again despite himself. To be able to suppress him to such degree, perhaps only the top ten ranked demon gods were able to do that. Although if he went all out, he had some confidence to give the opponent a hard time, he would inevitably die in the end. Long Haochen also knew that he couldnt keep infuriating Huang Shuo at this time, saying in deep voice, We humans abide by our promises. Since I obtained what I wanted from Elder Huang, I will naturally tell you everything I know. Within the Illusory Paradise, we have run into your group of demons several times. The rest of our group was killed by your demons, and the Crown of Heritage in my hand belonged to a Blue me Fiend. The other demons werent killed by us, but have opposed the Illusory Paradise by themselves, causing the insurrection of the magical beasts living there, that went all out to dispose of them. Because the three of us havent harmed any of the magical beasts residing in the Illusory Paradise, we havent been involved in the retribution that took ce before we appeared. Among your group of demons, the deaths count a few, and the rest have been saved by your Demon God Emperor. Hearing this reply, although Huang Shuo felt a lot more rxed, he almost spat out his blood in response. It was for such an information that he had paid ten magical crystals! Chapter 345 - Ten Dragon Crystals (II)

Chapter 345: Ten Dragon Crystals (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales This cost was really too high. In fact, those ten magical crystals had been acquired from the deceased members of the ck Dragon Guard, who had died over the course of several past wars. The reason why Huang Shuo had them on him was that the Demon God Emperor would very likely be attacked by the most powerful human Demon Hunt Squads every time he set out. As his closest subordinate, he carried these magical crystals so that he could immediately deliver them to his emperor should a need arise. With a sh of ck before their eyes, Huang Shuo replied in extreme anger, What, is it just as simple as that? Long Haochen pretended to remember about something, before dering openly, Oh, theres still more. I remember that an orange-d demon was ordered to do something, after which a special orange spell was cast that confined the guardian of the Illusory Paradise for some time. But the user of this orange spell self-exploded, and his Crown of Heritage was recovered by AhBao. What? This time, two orange-d mages approached. Their long orange hair ssified them as powerhouses from the Star Demon n. At this point, those two who had had stagnant faces until then immediately revealed their shock. The Technique of Great Prophecy! AhBao actually ordered him to use the Technique of Great Prophecy! Very clearly, Long Haochens deration wasnt wrong. They could tell because his description of the Technique of Great Prophecy wasnt the least bit wrong. More importantly, only the Technique of Great Prophecy could show such formidable utility, like to actually confine the guardian from this ce! Huang Shuo, you owe us an exnation on this matter. Otherwise, you will have to justify yourself before the Star Demon God. Two Star Demon n powerhouses approached him in rage. Huang Shuos expression grew all the more unsightly. Only he knew what kind of mission the Demon God Emperor had given to AhBao. He also understood that the reason why Long Haochen chose this timing to cite this detail was that he wanted to sow discord among their ranks. Still, he had no way to refute his words. At once, changes appeared in the atmosphere on the demons side. This time, although the main force consisted of guards from the ck Dragon Army, the powerhouses from other races werent few. And they were all elites from their own ns, among which some lesser lords also had joined. Since AhBao had allegedly ordered the man from the Star n to use a forbidden self-destructive spell such as the Technique of Great Prophecy, how would he deal with his nsmen? At once, the demon group started to lose its unity. Huang Shuos face changed color, before giving a fierce re to Long Haochen, deeply printing the appearance of this young man in his own mind, before turning his head towards the two powerhouses from the Star Demon n, This matter isnt totally clear for now, but if our young master has been saved by His Highness, I will definitely give an ount to the senior Star Demon God. However, we are currently still unable to ascertain whether this human is saying the truth. And right at this time, the Illusory Shrine slowly sank, submerging back into theke. Even if they wanted to go inspect and verify, this couldnt be done anymore, to say nothing of the fact that they were unable to even enter the Illusory Shrine. Screened behind Ling Xiao and Han Qian, Long Haochen slowly retreated, and moved in the midst of the powerhouses from the Temple Alliance. Huang Shuo gave these humans an unreconciled nce, furiously ordering, Lets go. After saying that, he led the demon powerhouses away. Ling Xiao didnt immediately leave the Illusory Forest, but called Long Haochen, Caier and Zhang Fangfang to ask them carefully about everything that had happened in the Illusory Paradise. Except from concealing the fact that he brought hisrades along in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen gave a detailed ount of their time in the Illusory Paradise. After finally telling them that AhBaos group didnt manage to capture Ye Xiaolei, he simply spoke about the powerful magical beasts in the Illusory Paradise, without any excessive praise. Hearing Long Haochens words, Ling Xiaos look became unsightly. Indeed, the damage sustained by the demons this time was quite considerable, but the Alliance still ended up as the duped party. A Godhead? Long Haochen didnt understand everything about godheads, but as a powerhouse of the ninth step and the auxiliary master of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao had some knowledge about that. He vaguely guessed that the Demon God Emperor had reached a certain level of cultivation, and now needed a godhead to raise his own strength even further. Furthermore, in case he would attain a godhead, the destruction of humanity would perhaps truly arrive. At that time, perhaps no existing human would be able to stop him. And this godhead was actually located in the Illusory Paradise. Just like Huang Shuo wasnt certain of the chance the Demon God Emperor had to win against that Fairy Dragon, Ling Xiao couldnt make sure either about whether that Fairy Dragon could really protect the Illusory Paradise. Reaching this point of thought, Ling Xiaos face clearly looked pale. After some time of hesitation, he instructed some of the powerhouses from the Southern Mountains City to stay behind to protect the Illusory Forest, and after giving some orders to report any news to him, they finally brought everyone back to the Southern Mountains City. Although Han Qian was surprised over the fact that the Demon God Emperor could tear through the space of the Illusory Paradise, he currently was still in a pretty good mood. Ten! These were a total of ten Devil Dragon Crystals! As magical crystals from Devil Dragons of the ninth step, these things were rare treasures. It could be said that each Devil Dragon crystal could be valued the same as a piece of equipment at the Epic Tier. From this could be seen how precious they were. Although they were of the darkness element, the energy they contained was extremely pure, and in the hand of a grandmaster, their uses would be iparable. Long Haochen originally expressed the will to offer these magical crystals as a pure gift to the Southern Mountains City, but how could Ling Xiao ept such a great gift? Only when Long Haochen imed that they were a payback for the Illusory Gems had Ling Xiao finally agreed to take two. Han Qian directly epted three of them without reservation. He was after all Long Haochens grand-teacher, and these things would certainly be more useful to him than to Long Haochen. The remaining five were given to Long Haochen, and even those three crystals werent taken by the Knight Temple for free. They would be exchanged for contribution points. As for the specific amount, Long Haochen didnt ask, but anyway, after getting back to Holy City where the Demon Hunt Squad Mission Tower was, he would get to know the amount anyway when he epted their next mission. This times operation was a failure to the demons, but it was far from being considered a sess for the humans, and they would probably have a lot to handle from the aftermath. On their way back, Long Haochen had Ling Xiao treat Caiers wounds. After he had just obtained the magical crystals from two Devil Dragons, Ling Xiao would naturally not spare anything, and actually used a healing spell of the ninth step. Before returning to the Southern Mountains City, Caier was treated with that powerful healing spell, which even increased her spiritual energy. After returning to the Priest Temple, Han Qian and Ling Xiao were unable to pay more attention to Long Haochen, because they were all busy with meetings. Long Haochen and Caier temporarily parted with Zhang Fangfang, and returned to their private room on the first underground floor. Haochen, what is with you? Why do you look so uneasy? Caier gave a doubtful look to the pale-looking Long Haochen. Long Haochen replied in a grave voice, Its Haoyue, hes calling for me. Im afraid that hes meeting some trouble with his evolution. Caier, I have to join him immediately. Bring me along then. Since the regtions of the Illusory Paradise could be broken, the world from where Haoyuees must definitely be the same. The only problem is that it hasnt been six hours yet since yourst use of the tower. Long Haochen shook his head, Theres no more need for six hours. He didnt have the time for more exnations and pulled Caiers hand, returning to the Tower of Eternity in a sh under the golden glint of the Eternal Melody. After his awakening as a gods chosen one, a certain change happened in the connection between Long Haochen and the Eternal Melody. There was no more need for a wait of six hours, and he faintly sensed that if he wanted to be transported only by himself, he would be able to return to the Tower of Eternity at any time. If he brought hisrades, although the gap of time needed would be longer, it would not be so long as six hours. Among his squad, Caier was actually the only one with full battle strength. Wang Yuanyuan had some dazed feeling, thus Long Haochen believed she was wounded. For this reason, after returning to the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen didnt n on telling the others about the matter regarding Haoyue, but wanted instead to bring them back to the Priest Temple directly as soon as he would be able to. Afterwards, a purple radiance lit up his whole body, and the blood contract between Long Haochen and Haoyue released its might, immediately transporting him to another world. Long Haochen still clearly remembered about the danger Haoyue had confronted thest time. At that time, Long Haochen had merely been a knight of the fourth step, whose strength was a far cry from one at the sixth step. That time was indeed very dangerous, but fortunately his luck had been good and he had managed to save Haoyue in the very end. Long Haochen was now a knight of the sixth step, and after the battle in the Eternal Paradise, he awakened his physique as a gods chosen one, and his spiritual energy even increased marginally. It wasnt only that his internal spiritual energy had now reached 7,000 units, but his external spiritual energy also grew tremendously, reaching a level unknown to Long Haochen. However, he wasnt even close to his prior self, and thus felt extremely confident in being able to save Haoyue. Now, he was looking forward to Haoyues evolved look. Just how much more powerful would he be after this evolution? During hisst evolution, Haoyue had grown a third head, before eating a lot of magical crystals for a long amount of time. The specific quantity wasnt known to Long Haochen, but during every battle, Haoyue was the one gaining the most profit in this regard. This was the reason why he had so fast entered the state of deep sleep entailing evolution once again. As his time with Haoyue increased, Long Haochen felt all the more curious about Haoyues origin. At the time he had just appeared, he seemed to be just a weak-looking magical beast. But as time passed the strength Haoyue showed was growing greater and greater. But the most impressive feat was his ability to evolve. A mere two yearster, this evolution would definitely let him break through the sixth step. This was an evolution speed Long Haochen had never even heard of before. Chapter 346 - Ten Devil Dragon Crystals (III)

Chapter 346: Ten Devil Dragon Crystals (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales It was the interest the Demon God Emperor had in Haoyue that concerned Long Haochen the most. He was almost certain that Haoyue was the one the Demon God Emperor had been looking for when he hade to Exorcist City. By making a connection with the fact that the Demon God Emperor was looking to obtain a Godhead this time, Long Haochen couldnt help but think: _Could it be that Haoyue also has a Godhead?_ However, he rapidly shoved this thought away, as this would really be beyond belief. With a glint of purple light, a feeling of reality hit him, and Long Haochen immediately used a Holy Mantle enveloping him inside. This was already not the first time he wasing to this world, and he remembered about the muddy atmosphere here. If the Illusory Shrine could be called the entrance to the Illusory Paradise, this ce full of ck and red could simply be called hell. Right after appearing, Long Haochen sensed a dense killing intent, stirring relentlessly right before him. It was Haoyue. At that moment, Haoyues entire body was clouded in dense purple light. His three heads were raised, but all his eyes were closed, as he kept chanting some incantation. One could feel that the surrounding muddy natural energies were rushing to Haoyues side, turning into dots of shimmering purple brilliances, entering Haoyues body after passing through that purple light that surrounded his body. Compared to before, the current Haoyue was even taller, almost reaching eight meters in length, and his whole body had be more robust. On his back, the two high peaks were even longer, both assuming a triangr shape. The greatest change was however on his head. The bulge on the left side of his threerge heads was reaching the size of his other three heads and the same went for the bulge on the right side. My good brother, I came. Do your best to evolve, and leave the rest to me. Saying that, Long Haochen turned around to face the the outside. This evolution of Haoyue took ce in a cave again, but he couldnt help but feel startled just by arriving at its entrance. The ce Haoyue chose to evolve was simr to the one fromst time, once again halfway in a mountain showing traces of splitting. He should have been the one who made it. The sky was pitch-ck, and not even a single star could be seen. In the air were some rich clouds of darkness and fire element, while the traces of other elements were extremely heterogeneous and dispersed, not close to the former types in quantity. As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered in countless cracks. Some streams of magma could even be seen. In the end, it was just that kind of world! The deathly stillness aside, Long Haochen didnt feel any living presence. Spreading out his senses, he got the good news that at least for now, no enemy was closing in. After his awakening, Long Haochen could spread his senses in arge range even in a ce so full of deathly stillness. After a short time of reflection, Long Haochen attempted to see whether he could meet up with his mates in the Tower of Eternity. A fantastic change urred when he poured his spiritual energy into the Eternal Melody. Sensing that he could directly transport himself to the Tower of Eternity, he wasnt affected by the ties of time here anymore. But more importantly, he noticed to his surprise that he could actually sense the location of hisrades in the Tower of Eternity, and directly transport them here. The surprise this change caused him made his face beam with joy. Such a change would undoubtedly marginally increase their chances of survival. Furthermore, after the appearance of this change in the Eternal Melody, he didnt have to worry about the fact of summoning Caier to his side anymore. This was because after Haoyue wouldplete his evolution, he could simply follow Haoyue, but therades he would bring here would need to pass through the Tower of Eternity to return. Long Haochens connection with the Tower of Eternity didnt require any cooldown time anymore, and based on his calction, there would be only a need for half an hour of wait after bringing someone here, and this time could be umted. Right at that time, Long Haochen sensed something. Looking afar, he saw arge amount of the same ck skeletons, which he previously had encountered, heading in his direction. Seeing thatrge army of skeletons, Long Haochen couldnt help but remember the words of that lich he had encountered. At that time, although he had felt very tense, he still had devoted all his body and mind to the protection of Haoyue. But afterwards he had had to participate in the rest of thepetition, which didnt leave him the time to give those words more thought. However, given his astonishing memory, he now remembered those words, he had been told at that time. Thinking of it, this scene appeared by itself in Long Haochens mind. At that time, the lich had said, No, what you are protecting is the reincarnation of the devil, the creator of our dark and fiery world. His existence is precisely the reason why our world is like this. Our world is broken down and magma is flowing from the Earth. Countless species became extinct all because of him. The strong have already escaped, the less fortunate all became undead, and now, only the undead can exist in this ursed world. I do not know how you came here, but your holy aura disgusts me and your actions anger me even more. I will give you one more chance to return to your world right now. Now that the devil, Austin Griffin, appeared in my territory, even if I am just a lich, I must kill him. Otherwise, who knows what other miseries his restoration will bring to our world? A reincarnated Devil King? The evil maker of darkness and fire? And it would be because of Haoyue that this world changed into this hell? This was far too inconceivable. Long Haochen flung back his own head with his full strength. No matter what, he couldnt believe in the words that lich had said at that time. And then, he loathed himself for having let his trust toward Haoyue be swayed. He still remembered clearly that at the time they met each other at the Knights Sacred Mountain, Haoyue had been covered all over with cuts and bruises when he was summoned. Then, he had had to use his own blood to protect Haoyues life. But in the same way, without Haoyue, he would probably also have already died on the battlefield. During these years, Haoyue had always been apanying him, and could be said to be the being closest to his heart, except for his parents. Even Caier hadnt been with him for such as long as Haoyue did. Long Haochen never had regarded Haoyue as his mount, but as his little brother, his most precious little brother. On the basis of his trust toward his little brother, Long Haochen rapidly let the doubts go and became filled with resolution. Would he really rather trust an enemy over his own brother? No way. Upon thinking this, he immediately felt peaceful, and only battle intent remained in his eyes. Right at that time, a blurry figure started to float from afar. It advanced towards the army of skeletons and pushed forward. Those ck shapes, whose eyes were glinting with green mes, werent those liches? Long Haochen counted a total of twelve liches, and as they approached, he found out that the skeletons underneath were different from thest time. During hisst visit here, the skeletons he had encountered only had had the size of ordinary humans, but their attack and defense had been verycking. But this time, the skeletons were all close to two meters tall, and although they were as before all ck, they were a lot more robust, and carried in their hand some sword-like weapons made of bone. Without a doubt, these strengthened skeletons were controlled by the dozen liches floating in the sky. As long as these liches were killed, the skeletons underneath were bound to cease being a threat. However, Long Haochen didnt move hastily. Retreating to the entrance of the cave, he let out a golden glint and Yating came out, floating in midair. Sensing the surrounding environment, Yating immediately pursed her lips, Master, this ce is really filthy! Arriving into such a hellish ce soon after leaving the Illusory Paradise, it would be rather strange if she would be pleased. Long Haochen said in a grave tone, This is the world where Haoyue came from. He is in a crucial step of his evolution, so well have to protect him. Return to your strongest form, the battle is going to start soon. Ok. A deep golden brilliance spread out from Yatings body, and with a golden glint, she returned back to her form as a girl, whose soft golden brilliance mixed with Long Haochens,pleting one another well. Immediately afterwards, they sensed a cozy and transparent feeling brought by this holy light. The skeletons were drawing closer and closer, while those twelve liches floated at a distance of two hundred meters from the cave. Moss green mes pulsed in the eyes of the liches who were chanting incantations without stopping. ck or grey brilliances sprayed out from the sky to the skeletons, and immediately, the skeletons visibly gained in speed, and even their aura became strengthened from that. In his left hand was the Glorious Holy Shield and in his right hand was Bright Discipline, as Long Haochen advanced slightly, creating some distance between the entrance of the cave and himself. As he shot a cold nce to the twelve liches, he made preparations for the battle. Finally, the first skeleton reached out, dashed at a great speed and aimed its bone de at Long Haochens head. Having battled so many times against the skeletons during the trials in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen didnt feel any pressure from those ck skeletons. After holding up Bright Discipline in his right hand in a blocking motion, he crashed the bone sword easily into fragments with a fast downwards sh. A mysterious golden arc was then drawn on the chest of the skeleton, after which its body was smashed to pieces. This time, even more skeletons were approaching, heading toward the direction of Long Haochen. Sweeping his sword with a Light Thorn, he let out a golden radiance that spread out in a circr trajectory over ten meters in diameter. In the scope of that golden light, all the ck skeletons were cut in two, and the holy light carrying a sacred breath instantly destroyed their soulfire. Afterpleting his awakening as a gods chosen one, Long Haochens originally internal spiritual energy of pure holy light element did not only gain even greater sacred effects, but also became even morepressed. It was the same for Lin Xin who had obtained the Spiritual Stove of Heart of mes; his light properties had gained a qualitative change, restraining all these undeads of darkness attribute. Chapter 347 - Wage War Against Undeads (I)

Chapter 347: Wage War Against Undeads (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Once again facing an ocean of skeletons, Long Haochens response was a lot more effortless than before, even though the skeletons present were more evolved. This showed how much his strength matured since then. Last time he had to protect Haoyue, he had just gone up from the fourth to the fifth step, but this time, he was already roughly in the fifth rank of the sixth step in strength. Further adding the gain from his awakening as a gods chosen one, he naturally felt no pressure facing these low level undeads. Seeing Long Haochen let out a brilliant golden light, the moss green mes in the eyes of the twelve liches standing afar became dimmer, visibly showing their unease. The pure light released a sacred aura that gave them a feeling of restless danger. Even Long Haochen himself was astonished to find out that the skeletons that kept climbing up didnt even dare approach further upon feeling the intense light essence in the air. A sharp cry came out from the liches, and the bone staff let out even more intense aura of death. Immediately, the skeletons in the front started to copse, shattering into pieces before swiftly fusing with each other. This trick again? Last time, Long Haochen narrowly died because of it. This was the Skeleton King assembled by the liches. And furthermore, it was this time the result from the joint work of twelve liches, using an even greater number of skeletons, and would produce an even more powerful result than before. Long Haochen was not as inexperienced as before, how would he let these liches do as they please? Yating! Long Haochen growled, and immediately, a resplendent light was emitted from his back as his four immense wings spread out. With a p, his body was already propelled toward those twelve liches. Long Haochens spiritual wings were different from Yatings wings of light. Yatings wing of light had a transparent color that made them resemble to the wings of a butterfly, only making them all the more beautiful, but Long Haochens spiritual wings looked close to the wings of a bird, equallyparable in terms of speed. Yatings incantations were already prepared. pping her six wings, she took over Long Haochens position at the entrance of the cave, holding the staff high in her hand . During this time, an intense light element took shape in the air, transforming into a fist-sized glinting ball of light flying to the direction of the skeletons. Starfall! Although this ce didnt have any light essence, Yating was not only evolved thrice but also obtained the benefits from Long Haochens awakening as a gods chosen one, and her fusion with the Saint Spiritual Stove, and her current strength was already close to a mage at the peak of the sixth step. A spell that she was given so long to prepare was naturally not a simple spell of the sixth step but a powerful spell of the seventh step. Yatings greatest strength resided in the fact that her body was originally fully made from light essence, thus she didnt need to worry about being in shortage of spiritual energy like the human mages. The only restriction was the limit in the intensity of use in her power, and unless her elemental energy was totally exhausted, she would always be able to keep using magic. Of course, if nothing was really left, this would just forecast Yatings death. Starfall was a spell of the seventh step. And furthermore, it belonged to the type of light elemental magic exclusive to fairies, that humans werent able to use. A wide expanse of bright stars smashed into the group of skeletons, and the most terrifying thing was that these bright stars had the length of an eye, aiming at the core parts in the body of the fusing Skeleton King. The mass of golden shes of light blossomed in the midst of the wave of skeletons, and everywhere the golden light passed, the skeletons were turned into grey ashes. The parts of the skeletons that were fusing with each other also crumbled, not given any opportunity toplete theirbination. At that time, Long Haochen arrived in front of the twelve liches. After his wings became four, Long Haochens flying speed shot up. Although he was not an expert in flight for now, due tocking training, he was still able to achieve a great performance in a straight line. Due to that, these twelve liches only saw a sh of golden light as Long Haochen was already in front of them. Turning pale with fright, the twelve liches let out sharp cries almost simultaneously. This ability was specific to liches. Called Hisses of Terror, it had some simrity with the brain-addling magic used by human assassins, but was a lot stronger, because, it depended on their soul energy to be aplished. Long Haochen had suffer losses the first time he confronted liches. However, this time, the Hisses of Terror werent of much use against him. Long Haochens response was very simple, it was to wrap himself in Holy Mantle reinforced by Ripples of Light. Even if the Hisses of Terror of these lichs was even more powerful, it couldntpare with the hiss from the specters in the Deste Hissing Cavern! Since Long Haochen managed toprehend the Ripples of Light, would there be anything for him to fear in these little hisses? In the air, with a mere motion, Long Haochen forcibly broke through the ranks of the liches. Immediately, Bright Discipline was transformed into golden shadows, from his right hand. It was Demon Wiping sh. The liches powerful aspect was their soul, not their physical body. Confronting the suppression of Long Haochens sacred aura, their soul lost marginally in power. How could their mere physical body resist the powerful assault from Demon Wiping sh? The twelve liches were pierced in a mere instant, immediately burnt by golden mes. Be it their body or their soul, everything was engulfed by this golden fire. This was the ability acquired after his awakening as a gods chosen one, Inner Holy Fire. In other words, all of Long Haochens attack would carry the effects from Holy Fire in its use. Holy Fire was an ability that other knights could also learn, but they had to reach the seventh step for that. In addition, in case of use, Holy Fire would deplete a massive amount of spiritual energy. However, as a gods chosen one, Long Haochen didnt have to worry about this. It could be said that after his awakening, the superiority of Long Haochens physique as the Scion of Light was in full swing, enabling him to surpass all knights of his same rank by a great margin. After the ocean of skeletons underneath lost themand from the liches, it took only a while for these endless waves of ck skeleton to disappear. Long Haochen shook his head slightly. He appeared dissatisfied from this battle. This dissatisfactiony in his unfamiliarity with his own abilities after this awakening. If he had predicted that these liches would be so easy to handle, he wouldnt have instructed Yating to use a powerful ability such as Starfall. Witnessing the entire annihting of the skeletons underneath, he finally rxed, flying back to that cavern. It was just that because of his excessive use of power during his flight, he staggered at the time ofnding. It looks that I should train my ability of flight. Long Haochen shook his head with a helpless look. These words werent without reason: battles between powerhouses often happened in the air. This was because, in the air, one could avoid harming allies and destroy the earth. Even the savage demons were often unwilling to battle with humans on the ground. Yating giggled with augh, Master, humans like you cannot fly innately. Its natural that you are facing some difficulties to fly. Long Haochen gave her a strange look. After Yating was capable of human speech, he really felt a bit unwell. But the crucial point was that he didnt know how he could tell Caier about this new side of hers. Right at that time, a change suddenly urred on Long Haochens expression. A kind of ominous premonition suddenly surged, as if a massive danger was about to arrive. How could it be that right after killing the twelve liches and their army of skeletons, such a massive threat appeared so suddenly? What was it in the end? Yatings perception wasnt the least bit inferior to Long Haochen, let alone that she originally formed one with him. She naturally had some awareness of what appeared in Long Haochens senses, and gave an astounded look afar. Master, a smell with a strong stench is approaching us. This enemy should be targeting our area. Long Haochen took a deep breath, letting out some soft golden brilliance. The four wings on his back were then lightly pped, absorbing the tiny amounts of light essence in the air. It wasnt that this ck and red world was totally devoid of light element. Another light elemental mage of a knight would perhaps encounter difficulties to be replenished here, but he was after all a gods chosen one. Although he couldnt possibly borrow force from that goddess of light here, his absorption and senses over elemental essence were still extra powerful. Make your battle preparations. No matter what kind of enemy we face, we have to protect the cavern well till Haoyue evolves. Yeah. Yating gave a swift answer, before drawing back, standing on Long Haochensteral side. Looking the master before her eyes, her gaze was extremely gentle. The loyalty she had towards Long Haochen was already not as simple as the result of the contract linking them, but was due to the fact that Long Haochens existence gave her a new life. Gradually, that threat became more and more powerful. Gazing far away, Long Haochen couldnt help but grow more and more restless. _What is that?_ Suddenly, his eyes shrank, and immediately next, he started to gaze into a particr direction. In his line of sight, peculiar living creatures appeared. At nce, they looked like humans, formed of four limbs, a body and a head. However, their gait was totally different from humans. Their both feet kept jiggling, while their hands were stretched in front of their bodies. At each leap, they advanced at least of five or ten meters, heading here at flying speed. At first, there were only a few of them, but as time passed, more and more of these appeared in Long Haochen and Yatings lines of sight. Zombies! These are zombies! Yating lost her voice in rm. Long Haochen asked in astonishment, What are zombies? Is it a type of undead? Yating nodded to him, It is a kind of exceptionally strong undead. In rank, they cannotpare with lichs, but they are a lot more powerful than skeletons, and are a form of dead humans. Their physical body was corroded by the energy of death but didnt rot, and their soul became infected with death. Chapter 348 - Wage War Against Undeads (II)

Chapter 348: Wage War Against Undeads (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The great majority of the zombies only have their battle instincts, but their body is as solid as metal, and their fighting strength like their destructive power is exceptional. It isnt anything skeletons canpare with. And furthermore, they carry in their body a strong poison. As long as their attacks reach, the poison will immediately affect its target. How else can there be so many zombies?! In just a little bit of time, more than a thousand zombies already appeared in their line of sight. Master, things are not turning well! These zombies are at least at the strength of the third step of human warriors, and their body is their best weapon. Only at the third step? Long Haochen asked this, feeling more at ease. Given his current cultivation, he could still resist when facing a group of more than a thousand zombies of the third step. Yatings faze froze slightly, Master, creatures like zombies strength doesnt lie in their individual strength, but in theirtent capabilities. It is extremely difficult for skeletons to evolve, unless a powerful lich or over-lich helps them in their evolution. But through continuous ughter and devouring, zombies can evolve by themselves. The thousand plus zombies of this group cant possibly be all at the third step. It is very possibly a group of mixed levels. There are also ranks of zombies? And they can evolve? Hearing that, Long Haochen couldnt help but gasp, immediately losing his optimism. Yating nodded to him, If I am not mistaken, these transformed corpses are ranked in strength from lower to higher starting from ordinary zombies, spectral zombies, metallic zombies. Then, there are different kinds of metallic zombies, whose ability to evolve is the strongest. Their destructive power is also extremely terrifying, and the most powerful kind, the Zombie King even has the ability of flight. Just as she reached this point, she suddenly found out that Long Haochens gaze was fixed, hurriedly following his look, she happened to see an immense zombie heading towards them in flight at an astounding speed, while the zombies under his path let out mysteriously ayer of green color, elerating their advance suddenly. Zombie King? So there is actually a Zombie King among them? Yatings face immediately became pale, letting out a shriek, A Zombie King! Theres actually a Zombie King among them! Contrary to expectations, Long Haochen stayed calm at this time, Yating, how powerful are Zombie Kings? Yating seemed at a loss, as she replied, I dont know, but I heard that the Zombie Kings are in the undead worlds the weakest kind of undead kings. However, even if they were even weaker, they are still powerful entities! Im afraid that this one is at least at the eighth step, or perhaps has he already reached the ninth step. Hearing her, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a gasp, his eyes shrinking violently. However, his grasp over Bright Discipline became especially steady. He said before that no matter how powerful the enemy would be, he would do everything to protect Haoyue and let him smoothly evolve. Yating didnt speak further, but started to chant an incantation. Her voice was extremely clear, as if affected by Long Haochens determination, as the fears filling her disappeared. In the air, the Zombie King came as fast as he could. In the blink of an eye, he was already halfway up the mountain. Seeing Long Haochen with four wings spreading on his back, his flight forward abruptly stopped, and his eyes were directed on Long Haochen with a puzzled look. A human? Light user human? How can there still be humans existing here? That Zombie Kings voice sounded clear, and the imposing aura of death from him was earth-shattering. Just like liches brought a boost in the strength of skeletons, the existence of this Zombie King increased the strength of those other zombies underneath. Hello, zombie sovereign. Do you have something to do here? Long Haochen calmly asked. Since the zombie didnt take the initiative to attack him, he wouldnt incite battle, and tried his best to stall for time for the time being. The Zombie King actually didnt immediately take action against Long Haochen. His looks were very fierce, and he reached a height of three and a half meters. Floating in midair, he had a pair of nauseating wings on his back, covered with ashened ck feathers. The Zombie King had unexpectedly a very handsome face, merely appearing grey-colored. His eyeballs were actually dark blue, and his body was surrounded by ayer of green fog billowing outside. The dense stenching out from him could be smelled even by Long Haochen who was still over hundred meters away. Long Haochen didnt dare overlook that, and released another Holy Mantle to protect Yating and himself from suffering from the poisonous stench of that zombie. The Zombie King calmly looked at Long Haochen, Get out of the way, human. What is in this cave? I got news from my subordinates, and it seems that they discovered something very dangerous here. I need to have a look inside. Long Haochen was actually a bit startled. It seemed that the Zombie King didnt know that Haoyue was there. Silently, he shook his head, Myrade is resting here. Please dont disturb him. I need you to leave from here. The Zombie King gave a terrible re, suddenly thinking about something, Could it Could it be him? Saying that, the sharp feeling he let out went up, and immediately next, a darkness purple-colored crystal came out from his mouth. Following, that dark purple crystal violently shivered, letting a purple glitter spread from within. The Zombie King murmured a few words, and immediately next, that dark purple crystal suddenly spinned, instantly pointing towards the location of the cavern behind Long Haochens back. Oh my god! Its really him! The face of the Zombie King couldnt show any change, and this was a characteristic of zombies. But at this moment, the green fog surrounding his body became unstable, and with a sh of his body, he absolutely didnt tell Long Haochen anything more, simply throwing himself at his direction. At the time the Zombie King spat out that purple crystal, Long Haochen already had a bad premonition. Having made good battle preparations long before, facing the charging Zombie King, he just drew a slight step back, letting out a sh of golden light in his eyes, as an intense golden red me instantly burst out from his body. It was precisely Sunlight Fire, which was instantly unleashed. The red-hot sunlight fire rose to the sky, as a dragon cry could be heard. Long Haochen held Bright Discipline in his hand, directly using Ascending Dragon Strike against the approaching Zombie King. Light restrained darkness and the sacred restrained death, so Long Haochen heldplete advantage in the elementary aspect. When that golden red sunfire light came into contact with the Zombie King, the dark fog surrounding the Zombie King was immediately reduced to vapor. The Zombie King didnt have a weapon in his hand, but his hands were incredibly long, the green nails of his fingers all reaching a length of one third of a meter, aimed at scratching Long Haochen. A resonant bang sounded in the air, and Long Haochen shed with the rushing Zombie King. A violent explosion, created a violent golden expanse of light, and Long Haochen immediately felt an unsurpassed terrifying power smash against him. At the crucial time emerged the shocking skills he obtained from training in the Tower of Eternity. His body was fell back fifteen centimeters, and during that time, his other handunched the Holy Shield ability from the Glorious Holy Shield. In spite of that, Long Haochens body was still forcibly smashed to the ground, violently striking against it. A massive impact force digged a deep hole to the ce under Long Haochens feet. But in fact, this was right on a rock! However, that Zombie King also seemed not to be much better off. Long Haochens attack wasnt only concentrated with sunlight fire, but also holy fire, two powerful kind of holy and sacred mes that almost immediately spread to his entire body. After the Zombie Kings diving figure was blocked, he let out a miserable cry, and immediately, great surges of green liquid flowed out, as he attempted to extinguish the holy sacred mes and the sunlight fire. However, being a gods chosen one, how could holy mes released by Long Haochen be so easy to handle? It wasnt only the body of the Zombie King that was subject to burn, but even his soul. For a while, even he didnt dare keep attacking Long Haochen, and leaped backwards, leading the group of zombies climbing up to him. Pulling two zombies, he tore their bodies to sh, causing the rest of their rich soul to flow out onto his body along with green liquid, causing the two mes to weaken greatly. As if it was natural, the Zombie King put over twenty of his subordinates to death this way before extinguishing the two types of mespletely. This were his properties as a gods chosen one. If Long Haochen was facing an opponent specializing in light attribute or an attribute unrestrained by light, although his elemental dominance would still be existing, it wouldnt as dominant as it is now. However, he was now facing an undead creature that feared light the most. Indeed, just like Yating said, this Zombie King reached at the very least a strength at the eighth step, and although it shouldnt reach the ninth step, it was still a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step. But such a powerhouse became clearly terrified upon being attacked by Long Haochens two types of mes, and didnt dare pursue and attack him any further. However, Long Haochens current situation wasnt any good either. Feeling a sour and cracked feeling in his hand, his sensation over his whole body was totally different, and the bones in his body, his internal channels, as well as his internal organs all felt painful. The strength of this Zombie King was indeed incredible. Although he managed toe with the best response, he was still narrowly killed in a single blow of such a dominant opponent. Long Haochen clearly knew that this Zombie King was actually a lot stronger than even AhBao. And furthermore, it seemed to be a pure attack-type undead. This only increased the pressure on Long Haochen, since after all, he was not a knight specialized on power. Although his own external spiritual energy wasnt weak, it wasnt evenparable to the level of a Zombie King. Chapter 349 - Wage War Against Undeads (III)

Chapter 349: Wage War Against Undeads (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales However, Long Haochen couldnt show weakness at such time. Seeing the Zombie King falling in the midst of the group of zombies, he immediately understood that the opponent feared his elemental properties. Clenching his teeth, he didnt let the slightest weakness show up on his face. The strong sunlight fire rose even further, reaching an even more intense level than before. Yatings chant was alsopleted at this time. A fantastic golden red halo appeared above Long Haochens head in a sh, before gently falling down. Immediately, the Glorious Holy Armor became golden red-colored, and the sunlight fire around his body stopped pulsing further, instead turning into a golden red liquid that formed ayer around his body. Thisyer of liquid was like the sort of moat that was here to protect a city, revolving at a slow speed. The light essence surrounding Long Haochens body then turned into a dim golden area extending in a radius of ten square meters around him. The Zombie King let out a gasp, sensing that this human was far inferiorpared to him in strength, while his light properties however reached a level he had never seen before. It was really too strong, to the point that he didnt know what would happen if he was infected by that golden red liquid. It could perhaps even damage his own soul heavily. With so many of his younger brothers present, although the Zombie King wanted to kill Haoyue, he still cherished his own life even more. Not charging forward anymore, he insteadmanded the group of his younger brothers to assault Long Haochen. Just like Yating said, zombies were truly a lot more powerful than skeletons. When these zombies charged to the waist of the mountain, their speed instantly decreased upon approaching the area of light surrounding Long Haochen, but they still slowly approached Long Haochen by leaps, attempting tounch attacks against him. Yating knew the most about Long Haochens current state, and in particr, she knew that he needed to put efforts in recovering. In a sh forward, she immediately arrived in front of him, pointing her staff forward andunching basic light arrows from the peak of her staff. Each blow was aimed against the zombies heads, because this was the location of their gathered soul. Immediately, with a bolt of golden after another, zombies were sessively killed by Yatings arrows of light. In front of this sort of light elemental spells, they werepletely helpless. Yatings was vignt of the Zombie King leading the group of zombies, and it was to take precautions against his sneak attacks that she didnt use more powerful spells. Having gained this time for recovery, Long Haochen hurriedly adjusted revisions on his internal spiritual energy. After his awakening, his strength once again increased by a lot, but the course of events didnt go smoothly enough for him to disy it decently. Encountering such a powerful existence like the Zombie King, he came to suffer important losses. By chance, this awakening also led to considerable progress of his external spiritual energy, or else, that previous blow would perhaps just have made him lose all fighting capability. When doing simple movements of his body, Long Haochen felt finally better. The light essence inside of his body had just healed his injuries at great speed, and his battle strength was now back to more than eighty percent. In a sh, Long Haochen stepped forward, sweeping away with Bright Discipline in his hand, andunching Light Thorn just like before. However, this time was Light Thorn added with Ripples of Light, which split a group of a dozen zombies in a blow. But terrifyingly, although these zombies had their bodies cut, their cut parts still crawled on the ground, aiming towards Long Haochen. With hurry, Yating shouted to him, Their weak point is in their head! You cannot kill them by any other means. Okay. Long Haochen gave a simple reply, once again wielding Bright Discipline in his hand. This time, Demon Wiping sh was used, aiming urately at the heads of the zombies one after another, destroying their me of soul. The defensive strength of the zombies was beyondpare with the skeletons; the area of their head was tough, so Yatings light arrows were even more effective than Long Haochens Demon Wiping sh because she chose to aim for the eyes of the zombies. But after Long Haochen started to act, he immediately sensed the huge threating from the Zombie King, and thus didnt dare put all his attention in handling these ordinary zombies. This prevented him from devoting himself wholeheartedly to handle them. asionally, his Demon Wiping sh turned out unable to pierce through their head, and he needed a supplementary attack. However, these zombies were also unable to wound Long Haochen in any way. The spell Yating used on Long Haochen was called Sun Halo, and was a powerful light spell of the sixth stepbining both attack and defense in one, and gained from the addition of the originally powerful light attributes of Long Haochen and Yating. All zombies that approached it within a certain range from Long Haochen immediately received burns from the Sun Halo, quickly reducing their body to ashes. But at every burns inflicted on each zombies, the Sun Halo also lost in light elemental intensity. The zombies were growing even further in quantity, and now emerged the powerful zombies that Yating mentioned before. Spectral Zombies were a fast kind of zombiesunching mental attacks. The hateful aspect of these zombies was that, with the superiority of their intelligencepared to the other zombies, they actually didnt take the initiative to attack Long Haochen and Yating, but attempted instead to get into the cavern. This restricted Long Haochens moves greatly, causing him to be unable to move away in the slightest from the entrance of the cavern. Furthermore, these Spectral Zombies came like the wind, and because Long Haochen couldnt move from the cave, his Demon Wiping sh missed sometimes, not hitting the Spectral Zombies. The Spectral Zombies aside, metallic zombies became the main force faced by Long Haochens group. These kind of zombies had distinct looks; among their ranks were metallic-grey Iron Zombies, bronze-colored Bronze Zombies, silver-colored Silver Zombies, and finally, the most dreaded Gold Zombies. The reason why Gold Zombies are so terrible is their ability to use some undead spells. These undead spells werent weak, and were above all used at long range, while Long Haochen didnt have the possibility to rush out to get rid of them. Iron Zombies were at least at the fourth step in strength, Bronze Zombies reached the fifth step, Silver Zombie were close-quarters fighters at the sixth step and Gold Zombies long-range fighters at the sixth step. However, although these zombies were powerful, Long Haochen could still resist them for the time being. The most annoying kind was a type of entirely red-purple zombie, with a big belly. Only two of these zombies appeared, but these two almost managed to break through the joint defense of Yating and him. This kind of zombies were slow in speed, and couldnt directly participate in attacks, but were actually directly thrown at Long Haochens group by the Gold Zombies. When Long Haochens attack reached the first of these red-purple zombies, it instantly exploded, smashing arge area of red-purple liquid everywhere. The Sun Halo on Long Haochen was actually totally dissolved by the purple-red liquid, and losing its protection, Long Haochen was immediately surrounded by zombies, left without any other choice but to use Condemning Revolving Swords topel back the zombies. And the time the second of these red-purple zombies was thrown over, Yating didnt make it at time to avoid it, and drops of this red-purple liquid were sshed on her. Immediately screaming in pain, her body lit up in light, and her presence started to grow dimmer. She actually took quite great damage from that. Long Haochen finally became aware of what Explosive Poison Zombies were. After calling out this name, Yating rapidly dispersed the poison from her body while gritting her teeth That purple-red poison was extremely tyrannical, and even caused the rocky ground to be corroded. Apanied with an extremely unpleasant smell, the most terrifying thing was that it caused a corrosion of the spiritual energy,pletely bypassing the defense of Long Haochens Holy Mantle. After these two Explosive Poison Zombies appeared, the situation became dangerous for Long Haochen and Yating. However, Long Haochens battle strength also emerged right at this time. As he blocked the stronger enemies by the means of the Glorious Holy Shield, Bright Discipline would inevitably kill a zombie at every strike. A rich light essence burst out from his body unceasingly, as if his spiritual energy was basically inexhaustible. Then, the four Silver Zombies reached the cave. Thier brilliant silver body were extremely tough, to the extent that even with an elemental dominance, they were only inflicted marks on their body upon being attacked by Bright Discipline. And furthermore, these high-level zombies were very shrewd. When Long Haochen would use a powerful ability of the type of Holy Sword, these Silver Zombies would immediately pull other zombies from their back to serve as scapegoat and take the attack in ce of them as they would draw back at fast speed. However, Gold and Silver Zombies were fortunately were low in count: at least until now, only four of each type appeared. Even so, Long Haochen also started to grow more and more exhausted. If he didnt have to protect Haoyue, and if the Zombie King wasnt here to lead the zombies from afar, Long Haochen had confidence that he would have been able to kill these eight powerful zombies. But whats the point to think this way? Assault, Charge and Storing Ability were abilities among the kind that Long Haochan was totally unable to put to use, and the ones he used the most were Divine Obstruction, Chained Obstruction, before chaining with extremely practical abilities with low consumption like Shield Assault or Light Thorn. But even so, his spiritual energy was being continuously depleted. Long Haochen even saw faintly that the Zombie King was approaching them, as if looking for an opportunity to deal the fatal blow. Letting out a snort, Long Haochen once againunched Demon Wiping sh but upon being inflicted this sort of attack, but those Silver Zombies were once again resourceful and pulled two of the ordinary zombies to block Long Haochens attack, while the Gold Zombies used the fluids from other zombies to help them extinguish the fire, matching with a great level of coordination. Like this, although Long Haochen already killed quite a few zombies, the pressure was just growing greater and greater. Chapter 350 - Blazing Phoenix

Chapter 350: zing Phoenix

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales A pitch-ck radiance frequently appeared suddenly in front of Long Haochen, sign of the undead magic of the Gold Zombies. These Gold Zombies didnt have a great variety of spells, but their attack power was brutal, to the extent that Long Haochen could barely block them by the means of the Glorious Holy Shield in his left hand as well as the use of the technique Holy Shield. _Haoyue, how much time do you still need toplete your evolution?!_ Long Haochen sighed gloomily, but his determination only kept increasing. He was purely defending and unable to bring out his full strength, because he couldnt renounce defending the cave. What was to be done now? Just what the hell could he do in this situation? At this time, Yating finally got rid of the poison of the Explosive Poison Zombie, once again joining the battle. As soon as she joined, shepleted the a powerful chant, making now use the same spell Starfall as before to handle the army of zombies. Terrible starfalls hit from the skies, bombarding the enemies. Even with their tyrannical constitutions, the zombies were unable to stop the power of Starfall. The Zombie King that was preparing to mount a sneak attack could only react defensively against Starfall, and temporarily had to give up on raiding Long Haochen. However, the few Gold and Silver Zombies and even the Bronze and Iron Zombies had simr defending method against this powerful spell, and this was the use of the bodies of their own allies. From the fall of the terrible Starlight, at least two hundred zombies died, but their true main force was still present, and Long Haochen happened to see three more Explosive Zombies approach their side. _I cannot let this go on. If I let these three Exploding Poison Zombies use their power, Yating and me will probably not be able to resist._ At this point, Long Haochen finally used his final trump. An intense golden light abruptly shone on his chest, and immediately, three bolts of golden light were released from it. The zombies that were growing ustomed to Long Haochens disys of power kept themselves away from him, for fear that a powerful attack wasing. Then three silhouettes became visible, rapidly blocking the way in front of Long Haochen. The three that were transported were Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, and Han Yu. Boss, whats the situation? Lin Xin couldnt help but ask upon appearing. Long Haochen replied in low voice, The discussion will have to wait. For now, meet the enemy with everything you have. Saying that, he charged into the ranks of the zombies. The others who were just summoned here needed to adapt to the surrounding environment, and with them here, he could finally rush out offensively. After being suppressed for so long, Long Haochen burst out like a fierce tiger, an erupting volcano. In his hand, a good amount of spiritual energy was poured into Bright Discipline, directly letting this sword of Glorious Tier reach out with Holy Sword, bringing out the best of its power. As Long Haochen advanced lightly on the ground, the four wings on his back abruptly stretched out, and like an arrow, he shot out in the following instant. This next movement was indeed really fast. Borrowing strength from the impulse of his four wings, he reached a supreme level of speed and passed in the little space between the two Silver Zombies. Two bolts of light were seen next appearing on the back of these Silver Zombies. It was Holy Sword, used inbination with Shining Sunlight Strike. The Silver Zombies truly deserved to be called the most expert type of zombie in defense, second only to a Zombie King: Long Haochens two powerful abilities didnt even break past their defense, but even so, arge cut was left on their respective back. But more terrifyingly, intense holy mes engulfed their body in a burst. Even the Zombie King feared Long Haochens Holy Sacred Fire. Hit in such close range, the two Silver Zombie cried out miserably, letting out green fog and drawing back with their fighting strength greatly reduced. But this was just a beginning, and the dual-sword-wielding Long Haochen reached a phenomenal speed, borrowing force from the impact to elerate all the more. In a sh, he reached out for the back of the three Exploding Poison Zombies, and stopped only ten meters away from them. Bright Discipline suddenly pointed in three points in the air, and three microscopic-looking white glows appeared on the three Exploding Poison Zombies. Immediately, some loud bang resounded, and the three Exploding Poison Zombies were ruptured, exploding and letting out huge puffs of ck liquid that spread in all directions, but seeminglynding only on the surrounding zombies. The poisonous fluid wasnt something that could distinguish the enemy, and immediately, arge amount of zombies were hit by ck poison, even including those two Silver Zombies. The reason why Long Haochen managed to reach his target like a fish in water was intricately linked with Yatings previous Starfall, a great spell of the seventh step and after that, the majority of the leftover army was formed of the elite of the zombies. The current him didnt n on renouncing so easily, but also at that time, the Zombie King made his move. The Zombie King had been waiting for an opportunity for so long. Regardless of his cultivation level, the reason why he didnt intervene immediately was that he didnt want to take too much risks. Why not using these younger brothers when so many are present? At that moment, seeing that the situation wasnt going well, he immediately pped the asymmetrical wings on his back, weing Long Haochens attack. A cold smile appeared on Long Haochens face. Although he couldnt entirely control his four wings, some simple dexterous moves were still possible for him. The four wings he retracted just before spread out once again, and all resistance in the air seemed to totally disappear as he dashed forward. Long Haochens feet treaded on that Iron Zombie forward,unching him at the direction of the Zombie King, but his four wings pped immediately, but propelling him backwards, in the opposite direction. As his body moved backward at great speed, Condemning Revolving Swords burst out once again. In a flicker of golden light, Bright Discipline carried the terrible Holy Fire and the power of Holy Sword, sweeping everything before him. Even the powerful Gold and Silver Zombies crumbled before this threat. But the majority of the other zombies couldnt escape that, and in this retreating rush, at least twenty zombies of the iron grade or above died by Long Haochens sword, and it even included three Exploding Poison Zombies. Although the situation was unclear to them, seeing Long Haochen going to meet the enemies, Han Yu, Lin Xin and Wang Yuanyuan made good battle preparations. Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuan stayed to guard the cave, while Lin Xin was at Yatings side in the rear. In Wang Yuanyuans hand, the Divine Soul Shield smashed out, sending several approaching zombies flying with a strident hissing sound. Afterwards the massive shield once again returned to her hand, and Wang Yuanyuan unleashed a Space-Splitting Saut next, aiming right at the Silver Zombie that was struck by Long Haochen right before. After suffering this blow, the severely wounded zombie couldnt persist for longer and was sent flying to the other side of the mountain. Han Yu didnt stay idle either. cing his Shield of Reflection right in front of himself, he spread out the spiritual wings and defended against all the zombies that approached, sending them flying with the recoil, perfectly assuming the role of a Guardian Knight. Seeing so many zombies afar, Lin Xin couldnt help but dere, Wow, so many good things! Saying that, he was also on the move, and seeing Long Haochen dash in his path of return, he erected a Fire Wall behind him, stopping the pursuing zombies from harming him. Immediately afterwards, the Fire Curse carried by the Fire Cloud Staff followed, aiming at a greatly wounded Silver Zombie. After the fusion between his two spiritual stoves, an enormous change appeared in Lin Xins mes. Originally, they appeared scarlet-red colored, but now his mes were colored in deep blue, causing the skull summoned by Fire Curse have a shade of deep blue color. That Silver Zombie being ignited by both the sacred holy fire and the mes produced by Lin Xins Heart of Fire, was burnt on the inside and the outside at the same time, finally transforming into ashes. The seven members from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad had ample battle experience together, matching with a perfect coordination with each other. Even if they still needed to adapt because of having reached the sixth step, their co-ordinating was exquisite in this sudden battle. Long Haochen returned next to Han Yu, who took the initiative to stride forward, temporarily bing the greatest defensive force of the group to leave Long Haochen some time to take a breather. Meanwhile, seeing his subordinates being killed in such session, the Zombie King was finally unable to hold back, and fiercely charged towards the opponent. However, he learnt his lesson this time and didnt charge barehanded at them. On his left hand was an Iron Zombie, while he grabbed on his right hand an Exploding Poison Zombie. Lin Xin, destroy that red-purple zombie in his right hand. Long Haochen shouted loudly, before extending the four wings on his back. A golden light shone simultaneously on his back,ing from Brilliant World, assistance from Yating. A dense spiritual energy of light element rapidly made its way into Long Haochens body, helping him recover. Meanwhile, a white glow was shot out from Yatings chest, aiming right on the Zombie King with the power of the Saint Spiritual Stove. However, the Saint Spiritual Stove Yating was putting in use was linking the enemy to Long Haochen. In other word, Long Haochen would be the one aimed by the target of the Saint Spiritual Stove. Of course, it would be more urate to say that the Saint Spiritual Stove didnt exist anymore, but that it was Yatings ability of Attraction. Look at me getting rid of it. Lin Xin shouted in excitement, before a surge of power scattered behind Long Haochen, Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuans back. The three of them suddenly felt waves spreading from behind, as a scorching feeling seemed to cause their blood to boil up. Immediately, a resonant phoenix shot up, in the shape of an azure-colored brilliance sweeping past their head from above, and directly shing against that Zombie King. _Whats that?_ Long Haochen, Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuans minds became nk. A blue phoenix of fire carrying three long tail feather on his back left a session of waves of fire in the sky, before almost instantly reaching the front of the Zombie King. Next, the Zombie King let out a blood-curdling screech, and was actually forcibly stopped. The Exploding Poison Zombie on his right hand instantly ruptured, but the purple-red poison wasnt given the time to disperse and turned into gas under the effects of the high-temperature. In the other hand, the Iron Zombie was directly melted against all expectations. Just what terrifying temperature did it reach to aplish that!? The Iron Zombies toughness was after all something Long Haochen experienced personally. After being struck by the blue phoenix of mes, the Zombie King immediately became dark-green-colored, continuously letting out a dense dark green vapor from his body, as he resisted the corrosion of the blue mes. However, right at that time, that blue fire phoenix pped his wings in full force, letting a ring of blue mes spread forward. When the extremelyrge quantity of zombies that had reached the mountain just before were enveloped inside, their movement suddenly stopped, and they melted and turned into liquid, before turning into gas and dissolving in the air. A resonant phoenix cry resounded once again everywhere, and he once again made a turn in the air. With a violent bursting sound, it sent back the Zombie King flying, and then, spiralling in the air, the phoenix flew back to the direction of Long Haochens group. Seeing the Zombie King in such a miserable state, the expressions on Long Haochens group of three looked totally different, and Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but shout, What did you just do, has-drugs-bro? But it shocked them to discover that the phoenix of fire seemed to have lost all his temperature, and after it passed above their head, they could see when turning back that it directly entered in Lin Xins chest, disappearing inside. Spiritual stove? The three of them cried out in chorus. The ability to merge into the chest of a human was unique to spiritual stoves, but they absolutely didnt expect that such a terrible and powerful ability would actuallye from Lin Xins spiritual stove. Without a doubt, that blue phoenix of fire came from the fusion of his two spiritual stoves. Even with all his knowledge regarding spiritual stoves, Long Haochen didnt know that at the time of fusion of two spiritual stoves, different degree of level of pact existed. The greater the level of pact was, the easier the fusion, and the more power in the end of the fusion would produce in result. But it was also from these levels of pact that the dangerous aspect of the fusion between spiritual stoves came. If two spiritual stoves are of equal power, the level of pact would reach zero, and no matter how powerful the user is, he wouldnt possibly be able to seed in fusing these two, leading in self-destruction. Only two kinds of fusion existed: one was by alliance, and the other by inhibition. The way Lin Xin and Han Yus spiritual stoves fused could be categorized as a fusion by agreement, while Long Haochen and Caiers fused by inhibition. Long Haochens Light Elemental Fairy was the one to inhibit the Saint Spiritual Stove, whereas Caiers case was obvious without need to say anything. However, the one who ended the most sessful this time was actually Lin Xin; it was for the simple reason that he had a far too great luck, to have obtained the Spiritual Stove of Phoenix of Fire right after getting the Spiritual Stove of Heart of mes, producing such a fantastic evolution. From these was born his current spiritual stove: ming Phoenix, known as Phoenix of Heart of mes. The power of this spiritual stove was witnessed personally by Long Haochens group, and its burst power was actually enough to match a powerhouse of the eighth step, the Zombie King, leaving him helpless to handle it, and causing him to suffer great losses.

Chapter 351: Haoyues fourth head, Blue Butterfly (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Lin Xins zing Phoenix Spiritual Stove gave hisrades a pleasant surprise, but he also suffered some bacsh. The more powerful a spiritual stove was, the greater the drawbacks would be. Caiers spiritual stove was the best example for that. Although Lin Xins zing Phoenix Spiritual Stove couldntpare with the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, it barely belonged to the ranks of the first tier spiritual stoves as well, and would grow along with Lin Xins strength. After the return of the zing Phoenix Spiritual Stove, Lin Xin felt his internal spiritual energy instantly bing empty, while an intense burning feeling filled his whole body. This sensation gave him no other choice but to sit down cross-legged on his original location, and concentrate all his attention on resisting the burning fever. It hit him in fact both inside and outside, giving impeding him to an extent one may well imagine. And this burning sensation wouldst for a total of six hours. In itself, Lin Xin wasnt harmed much, and this state actually even increased his own connection with fire, and trained his body. However, this process came with extreme pain. Bearing it for six hours would undoubtedly be a great challenge. However, Lin Xin was now in a rather good mental state. This was his first time using the zing Phoenix Spiritual Stove, and he didnt expect the cost to be so great, but even when facing such great drawbacks, he felt absolute ecstasy. That was the so called rejoicing over learning great news. In this kind of state, the pain he felt didnt even feel like much. By relying on the powerful attack of the zing Phoenix, he gave Long Haochen and the others an ample amount of time to rest. With Yatings help, Long Haochens spiritual energy and his physical energy recovered at great speed. Although the Zombie King was pushed back to the base of the mountain, but Long Haochen still kept his focus on him. Like this, he could sense the changes on him after sustaining the attack. To his pleasant surprise, Long Haochen found out that the Fire Phoenix possessed formidable offensive power. The wings on the back of the Zombie King were actually directly burnt to nothing, and his body had suffered severe wounds and injuries. Furthermore, the zing Phoenix wasnt aiming at a single target, but also had effects on arge scale. All those elite zombies, Iron Zombies, and Bronze Zombies had died immediately, turning into ash. Only the Gold Zombies and Silver Zombies were a little better off, and had only parts of their bodies dissolved. That was the action of a real mage, dealing extreme damage. Long Haochen felt a lot better now, and returned to leading the others. He didnt disy his excitement overly, but Han Yu couldnt help butugh out loud, Has-drugs bro, you finally revealed your power! Youre almost making my cheeks stream with tears. Lin Xin gave him a disdainful re, thinking secretly: _Are your cheeks even showing the tiniest tears? Why is it that from what i see, you are justughing happily?_ However, because of the aftereffects of the spiritual stove, he could only use his re to respond to him. Ruaa. Right at that time, a furious roar suddenly rang out, and the zombies which had been attacking without fear of death before, stopped in their advance. The one letting out this roar was the seriously wounded Zombie King. He clearly looked infuriated, and sensed the terrible threat from them, but more importantly, he still didnt target these humans at all. If he didnt manage to kill Haoyue while he was evolving, he would then surely get punished by the Undead King. But now, he vaguely sensed that Haoyues evolution was almost aplished. The Zombie King didnt keep approaching the mountain, but abruptly turned around. He faced his own brother zombies before suddenly emitting a dense dark green mist. Immediately, all the kinds of zombies immediately melted in this mist like snow under the sun. Having a bit of intelligence, all the elites zombies immediately fled upon seeing their Zombie King unleash this mist, but the ordinary zombies werent blessed with any intelligence, and simply turned into liquid. These liquid corpses seemed to form a slimy stream, flowing towards the Zombie King. That thick dark green fog infected an increasing number of zombies, and continuously gained in scope, while the flow of liquid zombies entered the Zombie Kings body through his feet. It seemed as if it made him recover from all the damage he had sustained, but at the same time it caused his body to grow in size as the liquid zombies kept being sucked into his body. Although Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu didnt have such a strong perception as Long Haochen, they could see what was happening before their eyes. The great density of the dark green fog as well as the ergement of the Zombie King were right in their line of sight The two of them took the same action, and looked at Long Haochen, carrying inquiring expressions on their faces. Long Haochen turned his head to look inside the cave, where Haoyues breathing clearly became heavier. He was reaching a critical moment. On the other side, as the Zombie King fused with his little brothers, his strength was shooting up rapidly. Even if their elements counteracted each other, in case his strength reached the ninth step or beyond, Long Haochens group would hardly be able to stop his attacks. And obviously, Lin Xins zing Phoenix could not be used a second time. _I cannot let him continue to increase his strength!_ At this time, the slightest hesitation could very possibly lead to theirplete annihtion. With a glint of golden light, another figure appeared at his side. It was Caier, who had been waiting in the Tower of Eternity for a long and painful time before finally being summoned. The reason why Long Haochen hadnt summoned Caier here before was that he needed some assistance in defense and not in attack, but right now, offensive strength was what he needed more than anything else. Caier,e with me. We have to stop that zombie from amassing strength. Meanwhile Han Yu, Yuanyuan, guard the cave well! While Long Haochen was still in the middle of speaking, he already started to propel himself forward, his wings pping with full strength, directly aiming at the Zombie King. Their resplendent golden color instantly reached the peaks, just like a golden sun making its way towards the Zombie King. When Long Haochen rushed forward, Yating also glinted in gold, right before disappearing without warning. When she appeared again, she was right at Long Haochens back. The Glorious Holy Shield was stored in the Eternal Melody while Long Haochen was flying forward. Now, his two hands gripped Bright Discipline, while his spiritual energy was poured in with full strength. Bright Discipline carrying the ability Holy Sword, instantly exploded with strength, and emitted a concentrated white heat surrounded by an incandescent glow carrying a strong killing intent. Astonishingly, Long Haochen actually shone in the same incandescent glow as Bright Discipline, and the same went for the four wings on his back. Everywhere the rich white glow passed, the dark green fog in the air was purified at lightning speed. The Zombie King sensed the fatal threat, and smashed his iparablyrge fists against Long Haochen. In his incessant process of absorbing the liquid zombies, his body had grown more massive, and his now terrifying strength produced sonic booms as he struck with his hands. From this, one may well imagine the terrifying level he reached. Long Haochen didnt sh with him head-on, but used the Nine Long Footwork to appear on his side in a sh. While dodging, he raised the dual-gripped Bright Discipline above his own head. Yatings body rocked, turning into a golden flow of light that made its way into Bright Discipline. Immediately, the white heat from Bright Discipline turned into a dark golden me. However, right then, Bright Discipline gave off a buzzing sound, as if uttering sad calls. It was as if with its ranking on the basis of the Glorious Tier, it couldnt bear the pressure from the dark golden mes. After his blow ended up fruitless, the Zombie King instantly turned around, but what he saw at that time was a heavy swording down in his direction. This strike caused Long Haochen to look entirely distorted. From the top of the mountain, Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu felt dawn descending on a world of darkness, as if the rich light was purifying the whole world. _Bang._ When Bright Discipline crashed on the top of the Zombie King, with a crisp and clear sound, a terrible scene emerged. Even given the extremely good material it was made of, making it a weapon carrying the supplementary ability Holy Sword, as well as an absorbing ability, it still burst to pieces, and Long Haochen was sent flying by the terribly strong power of the Zombie King. However, the Zombie King wasnt so well off either. In this violent bang, a sort of snapping sound was mixed in, a bit like the sound of oil falling on a hot surface. One could faintly see that the Zombie Kings two steel-like arms actually melted, even after reaching such a terrifying level of strength. An intense burst of dark golden mes engulfed him almost instantly, infecting all the surrounding green mist that disappeared immediately upon contact, unable to spread to the remaining ordinary zombies. Woah! A mournful cry echoed from the Zombie King, who tried frantically to disperse the golden mes igniting him. He desperately tried to stop them from burning, and didnt spare any cost for that, even spouting the dark green liquid from his body. From hisst attack, Long Hoachen also suffered great damage. However, he managed to insert the dark golden mes into the forehead of the Zombie King. Now, even cutting off his own limbs wouldnt save him. Long Haochennded afar, spouting a surge of blood from his mouth. His hands covered the two sides of his body. He had some dislocated joints, and bled from several wounds. He looked very miserable, but against expectations, not a single zombie dared take the initiative to attack him. At the time Bright Discipline had broken into pieces, Yating regained her physical body, floating beside Long Haochen. Her face also looked very pale, as a result of the immense consumption from that attack. After awakening as a gods chosen one, Long Haochen obtained some special abilities specific to gods chosen ones. These abilities were all rted to the Goddess of Light. The ability that made his body gleam with a white me was called Spiritual Ignition, and enabled him to ignite his own spirit and spiritual energy to give a great boost to his own power. The produced might even exceeded his past Sacrifice ability by a lot, but Spiritual Ignition also had important side effects. After using it once, Long Haochen would be in a weak state for seven days. Using it wantonly would actually even cause a major decline of his strength, even threatening his own life. Chapter 352 - Haoyue’s fourth head, Blue Butterfly (II)

Chapter 352: Haoyues fourth head, Blue Butterfly (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The dark golden mes were actually an ability obtained from Yatings evolution. Possessing a physical body didnt alter her characteristics as an entity made of energy. Thus, she was still able to change herself into a being of pure and rich light essence. In this state, she could fuse with any of Long Haochens weapons, temporarily bing the soul of this weapon, and igniting that weapon to produce a great gain in power. Simply said, the weapon would get destroyed after a single use, unless its materials could endure the pressure of weapon soul such as Yating. Long Haochen knew well that his own cultivation wasnt enough to have any chance of defeating the Zombie King, but what this enemy feared the most was his attribute, not his fighting strength. Thus, he depended on the Spiritual Ignition and Yatings help to cause his light attribute to reach its supreme peak. Now, even if the Goddess of Light herself was present, the light she could summon wouldnt exceed Long Haochens attack in purity. The Zombie King was certainly powerful, but he was facing an absolute elemental suppression, and couldnt sustain this blow he had just taken. It wasnt his body that ended up seriously wounded, but his soul. In the air, a pitch-ck figure appeared above the head of the Zombie King, immediately fusing her killing intent with a grey sh of light. Afterwards, that ck figure actually split in two. One part of it came to a standstill in the air before dissipating, while the other rushed to Long Haochen like lightning, holding his hands with both of her hands to help him recover. Why are you using the Spiritual Stove of Samsara? Long Haochen called out in panic. The Zombie King came to a standstill, and stopped yelling and struggling, before slowly falling to the ground. He had lost any ability to resist the dark golden mes that spread to his entire body. The Zombie King truly deserved the appetion of undead king. Even in a situation where his own soul-fire stopped burning, his body still didnt turn into ashes, but only kept burning. The distant zombies who now had lost their king, and sensed that the light that appeared in front of them was iparably terrifying, didnt keep trying to attack and just ran away in disarray. Caier supported Long Haochen, helping him to stand up, and said with a little smile, Dont worry, Im okay. Long Haochen looked carefully at her, asking in a serious tone, Which of your senses did you just lose? Caier replied with a happy smile, I havent lost any of my senses this time. Who is she? Asking that, she changed directions to look at the girl d in very revealing clothes. floating near Long Haochen. Against even Long Haochens expectations, the very cute Yating went up and dered, Mistress, I am Yating, Masters Light Elemental Fairy! After the fusion between Masters spiritual stoves, my body made of energy gained in substance and became this way. Caier asked in astonishment, Youre Yating? Looking at her before shooting the nearby Long Haochen a nce, Caier was obviously displeased. Although Long Haochen had predicted this reaction long ago, he didnt expect this situation toe so fast. Urgently changing the topic, he asked, Is that Zombie King dead? Caier nodded, My Spiritual Stove of Samsara is the most effective stove for overpowering this kind of souls, and is extremely efficient against undeads. After being summoned by Long Haochen, Caier immediately followed Long Haochen and made herself invisible. Seeing the white mes igniting Long Haochen, she immediately understood that he had a way to handle the Zombie King, and thus didnt intervene directly. When the Zombie King ended up being seriously wounded by the sacred holy mes, Caier had used the Dagger of Samsara from her Spiritual Stove of Samsara tounch a fatal blow against the Zombie King, thoroughly causing his soulfire to stop burning. Having lost his soul, the Zombie King became no more but the corpse of a king. Having eradicated the threat of the zombies, the two of them returned into the cave in the mountainside, where Han Yu healed Long Haochens wounds. However, the weak state from Soul Ignition couldnt be treated through normal means, and a period of seven days would be certainly necessary. This time, Long Haochen finally had the time to tell all the details to the others. I really didnt expect that Haoyue would being from such a world! Wang Yuanyuan gasped. No good opinion could possibly be formed from her seeing this poisonous world filled with undeads. Caier wrinkled her brows, Haochen, if some other undeads lead an attack, whats to be done in case we cannot resist? Everyone knew that some time was required to reactivate his Eternal Melody, and had thoughts of the same kind. It was just that it wasnt an easy question to ask for them, but Caier didnt have those qualms, as this was rted to their following course of actions as well as everyones safety. In case a problem urred, their life would be threatened, especially since their current state wasnt so good. Lin Xin was suffering the side-effects of his spiritual stove, and Long Haochen was also suffering the bacsh of Soul Ignition. The great majority of his fighting power was already lost due to that. The only ones left were Caier and the two others, but in case another powerhouse such as the Skeleton King appeared, they would undoubtedly face total annihtion, unless Caier used the Spiritual Stove of Samsara to its fullest. Long Haochen murmured irresolutely, Even if another powerful undead creature appears, we can still only wait for Haoyues evolution to finish. But be at ease everyone, I currently have the ability to forcefully trigger the Eternal Melody to teleport us back to the Tower of Eternity. Hearing him say this, everyone rxed a bit. It was good since, they had an escape route. In the meantime, they couldnt help but feel even more admiration towards Long Haochens careful nning. Long Haochen dered, It looks as if everyone gained powerful abilities from obtaining these new spiritual stoves. Lets quickly tell each other about their effects to avoid affecting our strength as a whole. Everyone already saw Yatings evolution. Shes now capable of human speech, and can fight on her own, too. Being a light mage, shes actually also capable of attaching herself to my weapon in crucial times, to help my offense. However, thises with the cost of sacrificing that weapon, and will still consume some of the power of light belonging to Yating. Afterwards, she requires some time to recuperate. With the exception of Caier, everyone had gotten to see the powerful influence Yating had on the battlefield. Her evolution to this state was extremely fortuitous, and a great part of it was due to the boost from the Illusory Paradise as well as Long Haochens awakening as a gods chosen. Her current state was undoubtedly fit to be called a totally unrivalled spiritual stove of first tier. Perhaps Yatings immediate fighting power couldnt match other spiritual stoves of the first tier, but never forget that the more powerful the spiritual stove is, the bigger its following after-effects would be. But what were Yatings aftereffects? ording to Long Haochens words, she didnt have any! And she had great potential for growth, following Long Haochens growth and evolution. Caier seemed to have been convinced, and watching the pale-faced Yating who was trying to absorb the little light essence of this world, she nodded lightly, Yatings evolution will be of great help to our team. Now we have gained a light mage and priest for the future. Long Haochen asked, How about you? After fusing your spiritual stoves, what ability did it gain from evolving? At that time, you had to bear such stong pain from fusing three spiritual stoves, so the boost shouldnt be low right? Hearing him mention the fusion of her own spiritual stoves, Caiers face immediately turned red, as she couldnt help but recall that embarrassing scene. Shooting him a ferocious nce, she replied, The ability I gained from my fused spiritual stoves is something you have already seen just before. We have already seen it? Long Haochen looked at her with some misgivings. Caier nodded, My situation is rather extraordinary, because one could say that the Spiritual Stove of Samsara engulfed the two others in its own evolution, rather than fusing with them. I can now feel that I can use the might from the Spiritual Stove of Samsara once per day without any aftereffects. And this is because I got the Spiritual Stove of True Shadow in the Illusory Paradise, enabling me to also give my shadow real offensive power. After the fusion, as long as I use the Doppelganger ability at the same time as using the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, during its first use per day, the illusion of me will suffer the aftereffects of the spiritual stove in my stead. After evolving, the Spiritual Stove of Samsara also enables me to use the power of the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove through the Dagger of Samsara once per day. Hearing Caiers exnation, everyone including even Long Haochen couldnt help but take a series of gasp. It looked like the fusion of the three spiritual stoves gave Caier a considerable boost in strength, actually even preserving her past abilities. In truth, her strength gained an absolutely monstrous boost. Just think, getting to use a spiritual stove without any drawback once per day, just how terrifying was that? And that was to say nothing about how the Dagger of Samsara could actually bring out the power of the Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove. On the other hand, Caier could even use the Dagger of Samsara once everyday with no cost. The Dagger of Samsara was a true divine tool, known as the first divine tool ever acquired by the Assassin Temple. Except for the former Scion of Samsara, no one had ever been able to bring out itsplete strength before. Even after his awakening as a gods chosen, Long Haochen wouldnt dare to say that he would be able to resist an attack from Caiers Dagger of Samsara. In terms of total strength, the current Caier was unable topare with Long Haochen, but after the fusion of her three spiritual stoves this time, her burst power was still the greatest of the whole team. To everyones astonishment, after saying all that, Caier actually didnt go near the seated Long Haochen, just telling them everything from the side. Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu immediately had entric looks. From their point of view, Caier was certainly feeling jealous. However, Long Haochen knew that that wasnt the case. Caier just felt shy because of what happened inside the Illusory Paradise. But there wasnt anything he could do about that. Just thinking of what he had groped with his very own hands And you, Han Yu? Long Haochen flung back his head with all his strength, getting rid of the beautiful thoughts that were surging in his head, before shifting to another subject once again. Han Yu replied, The fusion of my two spiritual stoves can also be considered to have gone smoothly. I gained an ability called Blessing of Light, enabling me to erect a protective barrier over a range of five meters. The defensive power from this barrier reaches three times my own spiritual energy, which means it has the same defensive power as Divine Obstruction. At the same time, while using Blessing of Light, everyone with attributes other than darkness will gain a tenfold recovery rate of spiritual energy, until reaching their peak condition. Fused spiritual stoves were just that great! Chapter 353 - Haoyue’s fourth head, Blue Butterfly (III)

Chapter 353: Haoyues fourth head, Blue Butterfly (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochens eyes shed, This ability is excellent! Wang Yuanyuan nodded in response, With this ability, our teams recovery of spiritual energy will increase tremendously. Han Yu replied with a smile, Actually the best part about it are its side-effects, which dont harm me. Otherwise, things wouldnt be good if everyone has to end up in the same state as Lin Xin after the full use of the ability from our spiritual stoves. Long Haochen replied with a smile, I just wonder what ability came from the fusion of the spiritual stoves for Sima and Yinger. Its just a shame that we couldnt get one more spiritual stove to fuse for Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan frowned in reply, Captain, why not be content with what you already have? Have you ever seen a Demon Hunt Squad that obtained as many spiritual stoves as us? The luck we had this time is already excellent, lets just be content with it. And now that all of us reached the sixth step, we can be amander grade Demon Hunt Squad after returning from this trip. And well have to do that as soon as we can. Han Yu replied with a smile, Indeed. Our luck was really good, and this time, we also gained quite a few contribution points. Aftering back, we can just get some rest. There will be no need to rush for missions. We can train with the fourth and fifth trials in the Tower of Eternity to raise our spiritual energy to 5,000 units before attempting the sixth trial. In truth, ording to their strength as a whole, they should already have managed to pass the sixth trial, but for the sake of raising everyones fighting strength even higher, they kept challenging that red skeleton in individual battles. Now that Long Haochen awakened as a gods chosen one and gained such a tremendous boost in strength, his strength should actually be just enough to defeat that red skeleton in a one versus one fight. Just as everyone was speaking, Long Haochen suddenly turned around to look afar, before shouting without any hesitation, Quick, enter the cave ande to Haoyues side. We have to leave immediately! Just as he said that, a terrible and massive threat arrived from afar, and closed in with tremendous speed. It was surrounded by many ck clouds that engulfed the whole sky. Long Haochen immediately made the decision to leave right after sensing that terrible power. _We have to leave, otherwise, everyone is bound to die! The owner of that terrifying aura is at least a powerhouse of the ninth step, and is aiming right for us. Even if Haoyue wont manage to finish his evolution in case we leave now, we are not able to deal with this enemy!_ Everyonepletely trusted Long Haochen, and Caier supported him with her hands, while Han Yu supported Lin Xin, and the five of them gathered next to Haoyue. Meanwhile, the golden light from Long Haochens Eternal Melody lit up. Actually, he didnt mention the cost from forcefully triggering the Eternal Melody before. After teleporting them forcefully, he would be affected by the Eternal Melody and aside from prolonging the duration of weakness, resulting from the use of Soul Ignition, it would subject him to extreme pain. Meanwhile, a great deal of the energy in the Tower of Eternity would dissipate, and would need more souls to be replenished. But because of therge amount of soul energy absorbed by the Eternal Melody during the battle in the Southern Mountains City, they could still make it. Haoyue seemed to have sensed the existence of that threat as well, and his whole body trembled, before the appearance of a fantastic scene. Of the two bulges on the sides of his body, the one on the left side suddenly shrank down, while the one on the right side suddenly grew, producing violent tremblings. Right when Long Haochens group was rushing in, the bulge on the right side suddenly split, and another head popped up. Meanwhile, Haoyues shivers elerated further, as he grew to a size of nine meters in a sh. That was indeed a massive creature. At that time, a dark blue ball of light rushed up from the exterior of the cave, approaching at a monstrous speed while leaving trails of blue me in the air. After Haoyues fourth head suddenly emerged, he seemed to be in an extremely weak state, and his four heads eyes closed as he lied on the ground. With Haoyue and Long Haochen being mentally connected, he had a clear feeling of what Long Haochen was about to do, thus suddenly triggered the appearance of his fourth head, but the bulge on his other side also suddenly shrank down at least by half in the meantime. Otherwise, a fifth head would very possibly have appeared. With arge sh of golden light, the interior of the cavern was illuminated brightly, and an intense radiance of light instantly engulfed everyone. In the meantime, Han Yu released his Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light, covering everyone with a brilliant barrier of light. With a golden sh of light, everyone disappeared from the cave. Three secondster, a massive dark golden ball of light descended with a boom that caused this entire red and ck world to tremble. Even from the mountain, the only thing left was a massive hole. With a flicker of golden light, Long Haochens group appeared outside of the Tower of Eternity along with Haoyue. With a retching sound, Long Haochen vomited a surge of blood, before falling unconscious in Caiers arms. In the same way, Haoyue fell into aa too. Fortunately, the Eternal Melody was still effective, so the specters outside of the tower didnt dare to approach. As Caier supported Long Haochen, Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuan dragged Haoyue, and everyone returned to the Tower of Eternity. Long Haochen was just too tired. Ever since entering the Illusory Paradise, his mental state had been extremely focused all along, be it during the hard battles against the demons, his awakening as a gods chosen one, the war against the Zombie King which entailed his first use of Soul Ignition, the destruction of Bright Discipline, or finally his full-strength forceful trigger of the Eternal Melody to teleport everyone back. It could be said that over the past few days, he never had any real rest, and his body was now at its limit, so falling unconscious wasnt actually a bad thing for him. If this kept going on, he would have had to consume more vital force than he possessed. The only good news was that in the Tower of Eternity, Chen Yinger was already awake, waiting for them, though Sima Xian was still unconscious. Han Yus Blessings of Light proved to be very effective, and actually managed to remove all interference during their teleportation. Now, everyone had their spiritual energy recovered at great speed, until returning to their regr state. Even the original restriction of the Tower of Eternity preventing every spiritual energy of other elements than light to recover didnt affect the ability of this spiritual stove. It was truly worth the status of a fused spiritual stove. This time, Long Haochen ended up unconscious for no less than six hours before waking up, still in a weak state. However, they couldnt keep staying here for long. If the Priest Temple found out about their disappearance, things wouldnt be good. Although they could exin a short disappearance by saying they took a stroll in the city, they wouldnt be able to do so if their absencested for too long. But obviously, returning to the Southern Mountains City also came with aplicated process. Long Haochen had to transport Haoyue back to his world first, before the two of them could teleport back to the Southern Mountains City through their blood contract. After returning, he could then teleport hisrades from the Tower of Eternity to his side. Haoyue recovered rapidly, at least a lot faster than the weakened Long Haochen, who told Haoyue about everything that happened through their mental connection. It turned out that Haoyue originally had engulfed arge amount of magical crystals, causing his internal spiritual energy to keep rising, but it was still heterogenous. Although he already reached the point of evolution, this heterogeneous spiritual energy needed to be purified, which was the reason why he needed to leave for his world for this long. After returning to his own world, Haoyue kept cultivating in this cave. Although his strength wouldnt break through immediately, he didnt have to worry about being found out by those undead creatures for some time. Having learned the lesson from the time his third head emerged, and with his strength having increased like that, Haoyue was enthusiastic and prepared to purify all the spiritual energy at once, as his time of breakthrough was nearing. However, against his calction, some changes went beyond his control. As Haoyue was in the midst of purifying his spiritual energy, Long Haochen awakened as a gods chosen one. This awakening had a direct influence on Long Haochens blood connection with Haoyue. In normal times, this would have been a good thing, as it increased the strength of Haoyue to some extent, especially for Little Light. However, because Haoyue was purifying his spiritual energy, and drawing close to his time of evolution, this sudden boost increased the danger for Haoyue. Originally, Haoyue tried to suppress it, because he clearly felt that his own spiritual energy wasntpletely purified yet, but the time required for his evolution was too long, and those undead creatures wouldnt possibly give him enough time. However, after attempting to suppress his energy for some time, he finally didnt manage to keep it stifled because of the excessive amount of spiritual energy umting in him since the start of his evolution. At that time, he was left with no other choice but to request for Long Haochens help, hoping that he would manage to slow down those undead creatures. However, the final results visibly exceeded his expectations. Long Haochen was left with no other choice but to transport them back to the Tower of Eternity, but to Haoyue, leaving his world in a state of evolution would very possibly have resulted in a threat for his life. Left without choice, he had to abandon theplete evolution, and chose to evolve only by a half, using the purified spiritual energy to trigger the appearance of his fourth head, whilepletely abandoning the heterogeneous spiritual energy. This was also the reason that pushed that bulge to shrink so suddenly and weakened his body at the same time. However, in spite of that, half of Haoyues evolution was still sessfullypleted, and Long Haochen gave this fourth head the name of Little Blue. Along with this evolution, a difference appeared on Haoyue four headspared to before, the bulges above those had certainly changed. They now had the shapes of horns, close to cow horns. Each of the four heads looked a little different, but the most extraordinary change appeared on the fourth head, Little Blue. It had a look close to the head of a butterfly. And furthermore, perhaps was it because of the sudden forceful aspect of the evolution, but his eyes had a weak look, as if suffering a dystrophy. Chapter 354 - A Million Contribution Points (I)

Chapter 354: A Million Contribution Points (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales After his forceful evolution, Haoyues scales gained thickness, and faintly glowed in a dark purple. His strong and sharp tail gained a conical bulge too, and just by lying down, he faintly radiated a feeling of deterrence. ording to Long Haochens estimate, the current Haoyue reached the sixth step and controlled four elements, since Little Blue belonged to the water element. Haoyue, could there be undead creatures waiting for us when we return to your world? Long Haochen asked Haoyue. Closing the eyes on his four heads, Haoyue shook his head as he looked at Long Haochen. But in the meantime Long Haochen could feel the wrath originating from him. Haoyues anger was extremely fierce, to the extent that even Long Haochen was wary of it. Haoyues anger actually was apanied by contempt and humiliation. His contempt was directed at the undead and his humiliation resulted from the fact that they dared to harm him. Long Haochen stroke Little Lights head, saying with a smile, Dont be angry. In the future, when we will be more powerful, there will be nothing to fear. This time, it is my fault. If I hadnt had my awakening, you wouldnt have been troubled to such an extent. Consoled by Long Haochen, Haoyue finally calmed down, gathering his four heads together to rub them against him. Like that, he regained a peaceful look. Since theres no danger there, lets go then. Long Haochen activated the Eternal Melody and returned with Haoyue to their original ce. With a sh of golden light, their line of sight became clear, and Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a breath of relief. The ce where Haoyue and him appeared actually surpassed thirty meters in width; it was a hole of several hundred diameters depth. It was surrounded by charred darkness. The original mountain shape and cave were totally indiscernible. However, just like Haoyue sensed it before, this ce was empty of any undead. Raising his four heads simultaneously, Haoyue emitted a formless awe-inspiring presence, spreading to the surrounding. His four heads uttered resonant bellows at the same time. It was as if his mood was leaking out, and he was telling the world, _I will be back._ In a purple glint of light enveloping both Long Haochen and him, the transporting contract was triggered, and the two of them returned to the underground of the Priest Temple. Long Haochen didnt dare to neglect the others, therefore, he immediately called them out from the Tower of Eternity. After doing that, he finally could take a breather. This trip to the Southern Mountains City could simply be called a thriller, be it for Long Haochen himself or his whole 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, who encountered some unprecedented crisis. It had been even more dangerous than the time they went on their mission to the Deste Hissing Cavern. But simrly, their benefits from this trip were immense. To say nothing of their gains in contribution points, the most important gain were their spiritual stoves. Everyone gained spiritual stovespatible with themselves, and except for Wang Yuanyuan, everyonepleted a fusion of spiritual stoves. On the third day after their return, Sima Xian came back to his senses. Although his wounds were still severe, he finally had recovered under Han Yu and Yatings healing. This guy gave his own fused spiritual stove a domineering name, calling it Thunder God Spiritual Stove. The results of fusion of Chen Yingers spiritual stoves was given the name of Spiritual Stove of Duplicating Light. Their two spiritual stoves had their own characteristics, and both were extremely powerful existences. In terms of power, they would show their uses during the future battles. After this military deployment, the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad could be said to have reached the strength level of amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, and quite a powerful one at that. Therge part of reinforcements from the Alliance finally arrived, which signified the end of the crisis inflicted to the Southern Mountains City. The demon army had retreated long ago, and on the surface, it looked as if the demons sufferedrge losses, having lost several sessors of demon gods, but was this really the case? At least, Long Haochen didnt think so. This was something he could see through the pact linking him to Ye Xiaolei. As for the details on this pact, even his teammates didnt know. Is Captain Long here? Someone knocked on the door, while Long Haochen was thinking about everything that had happened in the Illusory Paradise. After seven days of rest, he was finally back to normal, and the weak feeling from the use of Soul Ignition had disappeared. Opening the door, Long Haochen faced Zhang Fangfang who was paying them a visit. No need for to be so formal, Brother Zhang. You are my senior, and can just call me by my name. Long Haochen said with a smile. Zhang Fangfang sat on the sofa, replying with a smile, Okay, then Ill call you Haochen. Haochen, what are your ns for the following days? Long Haochen shook his head, We n on returning to Holy City to have some rest. You should know well that we gained quite a lot from this trip, but because many of our abilities are newly-obtained, we need some training to familiarize with each other to bring out the best of our fighting strength. At the same time, we n on returning to the Alliance to get promoted tomander grade, so we can receive more difficult missions. Zhang Fangfang revealed some unconcealed admiration, You are really the most talented Demon Hunt Squad I have ever gotten to see. If I were to have the choice, Id even be willing to be your retainer knight in the same way as Han Yu. Long Haochen smiled at him, You are joking Brother Zhang. This time, you managed to break through to the seventh step, and your team also obtained enough contribution points to easily rise to themander grade, since it seems to me that if someone in a team reaches a whole level above the requirement, the promotion of the Demon Hunt Squad would be less expensive. Zhang Fangfang revealed a bitter smile, Thats right! In bad luck, no one can match our team. I dont even dare use our contribution points to raise our grade. Its fortunate that the contact with your light essence helped me break through the threshold of the seventh step. At longst, we can go up to themander grade. Haochen, I wont say thank you, but rather, if in the future there is anything we can do to help, as long as it is something I can do, I wont decline. Okay. Long Haochen didnt be too formal and simply agreed. Demon Hunt Squads taking watch over each other was after all a natural matter. Zhang Fangfang said next, Since you are also nning to return to Holy City, how about setting off together with us? We also n on returning to directly promote our grade. Okay, how about tomorrow then? After obtaining Long Haochens positive reply, Zhang Fangfang clearly looked happy, and they kept chatting for a bit before he took his leave. Long Haochen closed the door, and Caier who stayed in the background all along came out, telling him with a smile, Did you notice? Long Haochen was startled, What is there to notice? Caier continued happily, This Zhang Fangfang has taken a fancy to Yuanyuan. Dont tell me you didnt notice that? What? Long Haochen looked nk, Are you saying that Brother Zhang and Yuanyuan But its impossible; have you forgotten about what Yuanyuan said before? It was only in the presence of Long Haochen that Caier showed such an expressive self. Making a grimace to him, she said next, Can you really believe those words? Those were clearly said on purpose to tell us that she is not interested in the other guys of our team. Dont believe her and Yingers firm front. Actually, they are just extremely stubborn. When I was in aa after the battle in the Southern Mountains City, I identally heard Yinger ask about the situation of Captain Yang Wenzhao. In a sh, Long Haochen replied, Oh, so it turned out that way. We shouldnt butt in this, just let nature take its course as it should. Things are good as long as they act with ordance to their own feelings. Caier suddenly said next, Unless the situation requires it, you are not allowed to let Yating show her true form. Just need to have her shrink to the same small form as before. Long Haochen dered with a bitter smile, I was afraid of you misunderstanding. Thats why I didnt dare tell you before. Caier smiled, responding, Mistaking about what? Shes a light fairy; even if she has a physical body, shes still an entity made of energy. Why would I misunderstand anything? Long Haochen asked with a start, Then, why do you want her to stay shrunk? Caier replied, Thats not the same. Just look at how light her clothes are. Youre always staring at her; if I let you stay this way, youll be corrupted from bad examples. Long Haochen revealed a smile, Then, you can also put on that kind of clothes for me to see. I want to see if you will be corrupted by these examples as well? Pah, you have really been corrupted! In the instant Long Haochen drew closer to Caier, she dodged. Ever since the charming scene in the Illusory Paradise, Caier was never willing to share a bed with Long Haochen. At most, the two of them would be sitting close to each other while cultivating. Long Haochen didnt pressure her in the matter. Actually, even he didnt sleep in Caiers arms in the same way as in the past. The matter of that day made them realize that they werent little kids anymore, and in spite of the well being of their couple, they were still in the end not officially engaged, and Long Haochen was afraid of harming Caier, while Caier felt embarrassed. Even the two of them didnt know for how long this would keep going on. Long Haochen and Zhang Fangfangs Demon Hunt Squads were actually not the only ones returning to Holy City. The 22nd general Demon Hunt Squad formed of Luc Xis group, as well as the Demon Hunt Squads led by Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi also returned along with them. On their way, these few Demon Hunt Squads could be said to have scattered and mixed up quite a bit. On one side, Lin Xin amiably went running off to the side of Luc Xis group, apanying Li Xin, while Long Haochens group was joined by two uninvited guests, Zhang Fangfang and Yang Wenzhao. As an earnest, sincere and rather guileless man, there wasnt much to say about Zhang Fangfang, who just kept following Wang Yuanyuan closely every day. No matter what Wang Yuanyuan did to drive him away, he remained smiling and silent, only following her quietly. Thus Wang Yuanyuan also remained silent, only letting him follow her. Yang Wenzhao seemed determined to win Chen Yinger, and would frequently act more politely than Zhang Fangfang, bringing tasty food or interesting stuff to Chen Yinger. Chen Yinger didnt go on a fake act, simply epting his gifts. Long Haochen and Caier rarely had the asion to enjoy a rxed atmosphere together on this trip. Long Haochen didnt restrict hisrades in any way either, because he clearly knew that after returning to Holy City, the following days would be spent cultivating in seclusion for all of them. Giving everyone a rare chance to rx would surely have good effects on their future cultivation. It was simply not necessary to say this to the others. Chapter 355 - A Million Contribution Points (II)

Chapter 355: A Million Contribution Points (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The return trip couldnt be considered to be fast-paced, but fifteen dayster, they were back in Holy City, where Long Haochen gave hisrades three extra days of rest. On the fourth day, everyone was called to the lounge of the vi. What afortable life. If only this couldst forever. Lin Xiny on therge sofa, wearing a satisfied and pleased expression. After losing all the hair on his head, he seemed even more energetic. However, a shock of dark green hair had started to grow and looked a bit like a green hat. Sima Xianughed next to him, Has-drugs-bro, have you taken your medicine yet today? Lin Xin revealed a stiff expression, Youre the one who needs to take medicine, foolish baldie. Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help butugh holding their bellies. Han Yu spoke next, Guys, stop making noise. Captain, what are your future ns? Although he was only Long Haochens retainer knight, Han Yu ranked among the strongest in the team, and was furthermore the oldest. His past arrogant self was transformed to a calm and steady personality, grasping the true essence as a retainer knight. Long Haochen replied with a smile, During ourst adventure in the Southern Mountains City, we encountered many dangers, but obtained quite a lot because of everyones joint efforts. But now, we have all obtained a new spiritual stove or a fused spiritual stove, and will need time to adapt. We will continue training in the Tower of Eternity, giving priority to raising everyones spiritual energy to 5,000 units before trying to pass the next trial of the tower if possible. I hope the next ones will help us to keep raising our internal spiritual energy in the same way. After we pass the next test, I believe that everyones ability will be trained enough. Then, well advance to themander grade, and proceed withpleting new missions. Everyone nodded after hearing Long Haochens instructions. In fact, it could be said that under his lead, the past year was the fastest period of cultivation in their whole lives. In particr, their spiritual energy kept growing by leaps and bounds. If not for the time they spent in the Tower of Eternity, their spiritual energy couldnt possibly have surpassed 4,000 units in such a short time, let alone breaking through to the sixth step. In fact, the average age for powerhouses of the sixth step in the Alliance was thirty-seven, but the average age in their 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad didnt even reach twenty. Going with this speed of cultivation, they were bound to be powerhouses of the eighth step one day, though no one would be able to say whether they could all break through to the ninth step. But given their innate gifts, the bottleneck of the ninth step was nothing impossible for any of them to ovee. If no one has any objections, lets prepare to train in the Tower of Eternity. Long Haochen slowly stood up, restraining the smile on his face, returning to a state of serenity. Captain, wait a bit. Sir Saint Knight Chief told me he wants you to look for him today. Han Yu told Long Haochen. Eh? Grandteacher was looking for me? Do you know what this is about? Long Haochen asked him. Han Yuughed gently, Should be something good. Didnt we contribute to the gain of five Devil Dragon Crystals for the Priest Temple and the Alliance? Grandfather might reward us for that action. After all, they wouldnt take our things for free. A reward as in contribution points? Saying that, Lin Xin immediately got up from the sofa, his eyes wide, as the pupils of his eyes seemed to have taken the shape of a gold coins. Han Yu unhappily responded, How greedy are you. Could it be that you know the worth of Devil Dragon Crystals? Lin Xin rubbed his own hands, happilyughing, Even if I dont know, I can pretty much guess! These are magical crystals from magical beasts of the ninth step, and belonging to the Devil Dragons race! One magical crystal should be exchangeable for a hundred thousand contribution points! It looks like we are already not far from the equipment of the legendary tier. A hundred thousand? It cannot be that high! Really? This time, even Long Haochen felt his heartbeat quicken. Lin Xin straightened his chest, How could it not? These are magical crystals of the ninth step! Boss, if you dont believe me, take out one for sale. This thing is a rarity even among the rarest rarities. A hundred thousand contribution points is still a low estimate from me. Sima Xianughed foolishly, Then, wont our contribution of five crystals be rewarded with five hundred thousand contribution points? What good news! Long Haochen was unable to remain calm, Dont hope for too much. Although the Alliance doesnt know that I brought you to the Illusory Paradise, Caier and I aplished a fusion of spiritual stoves inside, and can be said to have gained quite a lot. Thus, they may not be giving us so many contribution points. However, Lin Xin was right to remind us about their worth as magical crystals of the ninth step. Lets do it this way then. Yuanyuan, Sima and you will head to the Transaction Center, and try to do two things. One will be to help buy Yuanyuan fitting spatial elemental gems for her Divine Soul Shield. If there are some avable, we can consider to use magical crystals or contribution points as bargain for purchase. Then, the other task will be to find a great-master in jewelry, and to ask whether he can rece that gem in the middle of Simas Energetic Ball of Light with a Devil Dragon Crystal. Hearing him say that, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian felt their eyes lit up despite themselves. It was especially true for Sima Xian. The magical crystal embedded in his Energetic Ball of Light could certainly be changed. Although Wang Yuanyuan was also hopeful, she knew that spatial gems were rare to find. But since many exquisite things could be found in the Transaction Center, perhaps they would really find what they were looking for. Chen Yinger imed in high spirits, Im going too! Im going! Han Yu then said next, Captain, then vice-captain and I will follow you to go see Grandfather. Okay, then let us act separately. The seven of them parted. Long Haochens group of three went to the Alliances Office Hall, while the rest immediately headed for the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center. An hourter. Lin Xin, Chen Yinger, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan returned dispirited to the vi. Going in, they saw Long Haochen, Caier and Han Yu waiting on the sofas. And furthermore, the three of them didnt look happy. The atmosphere in the whole lounge appeared quite grim. Seeing Lin Xins group of foure in, Long Haochen raised his head and asked in a heavy tone, How did it go? Lin Xin replied helplessly, Ill let them exin it. Sima Xian revealed a bitter smile, My situation is rather dramatic. That jeweler from the Mission Tower said that if I want to rece the core of my Energetic Ball of Light with the Devil Dragon Crystal, it will at least raise to the rank of a legendary weapon. However, simply adding the magical crystal wont do, and metals with a sufficiently good conductance of spiritual energy as well as many other materials will be required. Without ounting the money that the jeweler charges, well already need more than a hundred thousand contribution points. This number was just terrifying. And simply buying an excellent piece of legendary equipment costed normally a hundred thousand contribution points or two. Long Haochen turned to look at Wang Yuanyuan, asking, And you? Wang Yuanyuan shook her head, There was no spatial crystal of the same kind as mine in the Transaction Center. But apparently, one appeared in the Alliances Great Auction House. However, the price is certainly going to be sky-high, costing tons of gold coins. How could we have that kind of money?! Chen Yinger mumbled to herself, We really went in great impulse, only to return disappointed. We had originally some confidence, but actually, it looks that we were far from having enough! Captain, we should keep taking missions. As we keep growing stronger, the contribution points required for our equipment also grows by a lot. Long Haochen didnt express his opinion, shifting his nce to Lin Xin, Come Lin Xin. Saying that, he showed the contribution tile on his left arm. Lin Xin arrived next to him, revealing his own contribution tile. With a faint glint of golden light, the transaction of contribution points between the two of them waspleted. The expression on Lin Xins face that looked dejected from the start was rapidly transformed to stiffness. His originally not so small eyes were opened to a great width, as he muttered something. This is One, two, three, four, five Wang Yuanyuan reacted with some misgivings, What are you doing, has-drugs-bro? Dont tell me theres a need to count every contribution point Captain transferred to you one by one? Dont disturb me, Im counting the zeros. Lin Xin shocked everyone with his next words. For there to be a need to count the zeros, what kind of astronomical number was that? A one and six zero, how much is that? After the transmission of contribution points, Lin Xin raised his head, giving a nk stare to hisrades, as he asked this foolish question. Sima Xian unconsciously gave the reply, A hundred thousand? Peh! Where did you learn to count? Was it with the Priest Temple? Thats a million okay? Chen Yinger dered, full of disdain. A million? When this number came out from her mouth, Lin Xin, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan were instantly petrified. The atmosphere in the whole lounge changed immediately. Sima Xian lost his voice, Boss, dont tell me that youve robbed the Demon Hunt Squad Transaction Center? Thats a million contribution points, Heavens! Without a doubt, this number was simply astronomical for their group. Long Haochen revealed a bitter smile, To rob it? I would first need to have the necessary strength for that. Lin Xin still had a look of disbelief as he asked, Boss, are you saying that this million contribution points are really ours? And that would be the reward from the Sir Saint Knight for us? Long Haochen nodded in silence, showing a crafty smile. On the side, Han Yu and Caier couldnt help but smile in agreement. It was clear that the atmosphere from right before was faked on purpose, or perhaps, they were digesting the excellent surprise from receiving this million contribution points? No, thatd be too crazy. Aaaah! A sharp cry immediately resounded in the whole vi, from Lin Xin who was the first to cheer. Immediately after him, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger let out girlish shrieks. Sima Xian smirked as he grabbed Lin Xins hand, staring at the contribution tile on his hand. A million! That are a million contribution points! Oh my god! How can there be that many? Boss, tell me how? Thats too unimaginable. Lin Xin kicked Sima Xian without any consideration, before stepping forward, reaching Long Haochens side as he asked, filled with excitement and curiosity.

Chapter 356: A Million Contribution Points (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Han Yu replied with a smile, Devil Dragons are from the same race as the Demon God Emperor, and since long ago, Devil Dragons have always been attaching a lot of importance to their magical crystals. Even when some would be obtained by the Alliance, it would surely instigate a war for the sake of getting their magical crystal back. Thus, gaining magical crystals from Devil Dragons is only associated to missions of the Emperor grade. For every one of them, the reward reaches 300,000 contribution points! This time, we got ten crystals at once, and itspletely due to our good luck and Captains improvisation. After discussing, the higher-ups decided to give us a million contribution points for the five crystals. And we have still five more, so thats to say, we have virtually two and a half million contribution points in total. Two and a half million, two and a half million; thats two and a half million points! Lin Xinughed happily, and his acmations resounded once again in the whole v. Even Caier couldnt help but grab Long Haochens hand in joy, in spite of the deep memories they still had from what happened in the Illusory Paradise. Contribution points werent gold coins, but were actually a lot more useful. The fact they had received so many contribution points signified that their strength was bound to increase drastically. Long Haochen said with a smile, Sima, you dont have to be watch the money while upgrading your weapon. From my estimate, after going through this upgrade, your Energetic Ball of Light will certainly surpass ordinary legendary equipment in power. Fortunately, we have the best material to use, so you can get Lin Xin to apany you to look for that great-master in jewelryter, now that we can afford it. Yuanyuan, go to the Alliances Great Auction House to ask about that spatial crystal, and the time when the auction will take ce. No matter the cost, we will buy it for you. If I am not mistaken, the things in the auction house of Holy City can be bought directly with contribution points for a price of ten to one. Thats to say, we should be able to get a spatial crystal for a cost in between hundred and two hundred thousand contribution points. If there are more spatial crystals, then buy more of them. Lin Xin remarked with augh, Boss, how rich and overbearing from you! Then, how about the rest of the contribution points? Long Haochen replied after spending a short time pondering, Lets temporarily retain the remaining contribution points. If some good items appear in an auction, we can conveniently buy them this way. Now, your materials for pill take the top priority, so if you need anything, take the initiative to buy it by yourself, but dont spare any cost on them. Its after all impossible for us to reach the standard to be a Demon Hunt Squad of the king grade at the moment. After we get promoted to themander grade, well have a look at the third floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center and use the contribution points already in our hands to get a piece of legendary equipment for everyone. This way, during our next mission, well have a better chance of sess. Long Live Captain! This shout reverberated three times. Even for Demon Hunt Squads, a team at themander grade with all members equipped with a piece of legendary equipment was something hard to imagine. In truth, Long Haochen clearly understood that this time, it was all because of the assistance from the Alliance that they managed to get so many contribution points. Although the ten Devil Dragon Crystals were obtained by them, if not for the fact that so many powerhouses from the Alliance were present, how could he possibly have aplished this? Thus, handing five of these over was only natural to him. Although they received 500,000 contribution points less from the Alliance than the usual countervalue for king grade Demon Hunt Squads, this was already an enormous help for them. Those were a million points! Even if this ended up not being enough to get everyone a piece of legendary equipment now, they would surely only be off by a small margin. This million contribution points also enabled them to stay in the vi for about a year and focus on training hard without any need to take on missions. However, Long Haochen didnt know that the Alliance handed them so many contribution points for the sake of avoiding them to take on missions to the greatest extent at the present stage. The existence of the Scion of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara was in fact a very sensitive subject, especially after the trip to the Southern Mountains City, the sessive situations of fatal danger caused even Han Qian to fear for their lives. In case Long Haochen or Caier were to die before reaching maturity, the Alliance would suffer a fatal blow. Thus, giving them so many contribution points, they would naturally not rush for new missions. And having the contribution points would also increase their strength a step further. These were resources the Alliance was willing to invest for the sake of their cultivation. Other Demon Hunt Squads couldnt even hope for such a treatment, but in this instance, the other five from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad received advantages by being close to Long Haochen and Caier. Everyone quickly became busy, and over the following month, their time was shared between going to the Tower of Eternity and cultivating their spiritual energy. Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light was already sent to be reforged, and Wang Yuanyuan went to get the information on the auction involving the spatial crystal, which was on the verge of starting. Over this month, Long Haochen and Caier mainly adapted to their new spiritual stoves as well as their synchronization, while cultivating their spiritual energy. Long Haochen aside, the others trained their own spiritual energy until it reached 5,000 units through the fourth and the fifth trial. Thus, everyone of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad reached 5,000 units of internal spiritual energy. Captain, the spatial crystal is going to auctioned tomorrow. Should I just follow Yuanyuan, or should everyone go together? Lin Xin went to Long Haochen and Caiers room to ask. Long Haochen gave the matter some thought, before replying, Lets go together. If we encounter something someone needs, we will immediately bid to get it. It has been a long time since west went to an auction. This will be a good time to rx after this exhausting month of training. Okay. The Alliances Great Auction House was undoubtedly one of thergest in the whole Alliance. If the Demon Hunt Squad Transaction Center could be said to be the ce with biggest amount of treasures in the whole Alliance, the Alliances Great Auction House could be said to be the second richest ce in treasures, with the bonus that everyone had the right to buy. Sometimes, some items not present in the Demon Hunt Squad Transaction Center could be found here. But more importantly, in the Alliances Great Auction House there was no restriction in grade, meaning anyone had the right to buy treasures of any grade. This couldnt be done in the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center, where a Demon Hunt Squad would need to reach the corresponding Demon Hunt Squad grade before being able to buy better items. After all, in the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center, all the goods were sold at a very low price. A simple example would be those excellent Devil Dragon Crystals Long Haochens group obtained. In the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center,pleting the mission would be rewarded with 300,000 contribution points, and one could buy them from the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center for 350,000 contribution points. However, once arriving at the Alliances Great Auction House, the prices could easily start at over five million gold coins for one item, and very possibly end up over ten millions gold coins. Thus, generally speaking, unless an item wasnt present in the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center and could only be found in the auction house, Demon Hunters would rarely go there to buy items. As a frequent visitor of the auction house, Lin Xin prepared their seats. When Long Haochens group arrived at the Alliances Great Auction House, the sun had already set, but a huge amount of people was present in the auction house. Lin Xin led everyone in the auction house, while he exined to Long Haochen, Today is the day of the monthly great auction. Good items are always showcased during this period. I went to see the auctions brochure, and really saw quite a few things that could be of good use to us. Boss, I have a suggestion. Tell me about it. Long Haochen replied. Lin Xins response was, We still have four more Devil Dragon Crystals. If we want to maximize the profits, we shouldnt use contribution points to buy things from here, since this would actually be rather unprofitable to us. How about taking advantage of the event of today to sell one of these crystals? We didnt obtain them in the Transaction Center after all, and are thus not viting the rules for the Demon Hunt Squads. With the gold coins from selling the magical crystal, we will easily be able to finance our purchases for today. Long Haochen was startled deep inside. He knew that ording to the rules given to the Demon Hunt Squads, any equipment or pill obtained in the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center could only be sold back to the Demon Hunt Mission Tower. Lin Xins suggestion was indeed a good one; their Devil Dragon Crystals after all came from the demons, and werent something they had purchased. If they really sold it for a high price, they would be able to buy sufficiently good things, and this could perhaps help to buy one piece of legendary equipment for every person in the team after advancing. Stopping his advance, Long Haochen finally agreed to Lin Xins suggestion after asking for the others opinions. Because this was the grand asion of the month, the auction took ce in thergest hall of the Alliances Great Auction House. To participate in the auction taking ce this day, at least an imposing record of transactions with the Alliances Great Auction House was necessary. However, even so, after Long Haochens group entered the auction house, they were greatly surprised. In the rather dark lounge were at least seven or eight hundred people, and this number kept increasing. A lot of people carried a mask prepared specifically for this auction, with the goal of hiding their faces. After all, during the process of the auction, offenses to thew were very likely to happen. Lin Xin was leading their group, but didnt have his own box in this ce. Long Haochens group of six was seated in the third row, and wore their own masks out of cautiousness. Lin Xin took one Devil Dragon Crystal from Long Haochen to enter it as an object for bidding. Generally speaking, the auction wouldnt ept items right before the start, but this time, it was about the magical crystal of a Devil Dragon! For this reason, they would rather be the ones requesting to ept the item even if there was no time. And that was to say nothing about the very good rtionship already existing between the Alliances Great Auction House and Lin Xin. Caier lightly leaned on Long Haochens shoulder, slowly closing her eyes. Long Haochen then asked in low voice, Is there anything you want? Chapter 357 - VIP auction! (I)

Chapter 357: VIP auction! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Caier shook her head in silence, replying, I have my Dagger of Samsara, so other equipment is useless to me. Unless it is a perfect fit, I dont have any urgent need. Give priority to the others. You also have to buy a weapon for yourself. However, it doesnt have to necessarily be here, instead we can just search on the third floorter on. Indeed, Long Haochen yet again urgently needed a new weapon. Thinking of that, he felt depressed. Ever since bing a Demon Hunter, he had destroyed quite a good number of his weapons. This time, it was the sword Bright Discipline that reached the Glorious Tier which they had acquired with great difficulty, and his Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light had also been smashed to pieces during the fierce battle against AhBao. Although it was still being nurtured in Yating, it was temporarily unavable. Thus Long Haochen, due to unfortunate circumstances, currently had no weapon avable to use. Now that their spiritual energy reached five thousand units, their next goal would be to defeat that red skeleton. But how could Long Haochen fight without a weapon? Thus, his top priority was to acquire a heavy sword. But of course, one would be the barest minimum, since he was after all a Retribution Knight as well. Right at that time, the illumination in the auction hall became dim, until the whole room was cloaked in darkness. The previously noisy auction hall immediately became silent. All the personnel that could enter in such a heavyweight auction was of high standing and naturally familiar with the rules here. With a shi sound, a pir of light wasunched on the stage, and a crimson-d girl appeared there out of nowhere. If the appearance of this girl were to be described, the conclusion would be that she didnt have the beauty of Caier, but the charm of a mature woman. Looking at her smiling face, people would easily get a refreshing feeling. But more oddly, when one looked at her, this person would actually have the feeling that she was directly looking back at him or her. Good evening dear honored guests, and wee to the VIP auction of this month. Today, we prepared quite a few remarkable items for all of you special guests. I hope everyone will get some good assets from today. A pleasant voice filled with charm was heard clearly, and touched Long Haochens heart. In the rear, one could already hear that the breath of some guests was bing rougher. This girl should have a rare and particr mental strength. She must specialize in the mental attribute. Long Haochen said in a low voice to the nearby Caier. On his other side, Sima Xian replied with augh, Mental strength specialized users are rare, and people who are this beautiful are hard to see. This Alliances Great Auction House is the result of a lot of efforts and energy. Han Yu bumped his hand, revealing a pleased smile, What? So youve been seduced? How about trying to pursue her? Sima Xian shook his head energetically, Shes not the type of girl I like. This time, Long Haochen couldnt help but ask with some curiosity, Sima, what kind of girl do you like then? Sima Xian gave an embarrassed smile, I like those kind of long-haired and pure girls, looking like pure flowers. Hearing this reply, everyone broke out inughter. Chen Yingers didnt give him the slightest face as she remarked in a low voice with a smile. How is it that I felt you were speaking about has-drugs-bro! Woah, I didnt expect that! I thought that you are robust, but I didnt know you also had this kind of interest. Nonsense! This man doesnt like men. Because of the impulse, his voice became noisier, immediately attracting despiteful looks from the surroundings. But fortunately, the auction hall was dark, thus the surrounding people didnt see clearly from where it came. On stage, the beautiful woman acted as though nothing had happened, continuing her introduction, If you are frequently participating in our VIP auction, you should know about all this, but I will introduce myself, to give neers a chance to be familiar with me. My name is Ye Weiyang, and I am the chief auctioneer of the Alliances Great Auction House. I will the one managing the auctions for today. To avoid having our distinguished customers wait any longer, let us start with the first item. As she said that, she retreated to the side of the tform, where two girls were approaching. Right at that time, a white-d staff member joined Ye Weiyang from the other direction, whispering a few words in her ear. Ye Weiyang revealed a shocked look, but quickly returned to her usual self, giving a simple nod. The first item was already up on stage, and Ye Weiyang pulled the cart with a regretful look, Deep apologies everyone. I have regretful news to inform all guests about. It seems that a mistake happened, and that this article here isnt the first but the second item of todays auction. The rest of the items will be presented ording to the intended order. Meanwhile, morous noises exploded, but given that the people here were of considerable status, they were naturally of good background and at least no one shouted abuses. The regretful expression on the face of Ye Weiyang immediately turned right into a smile, While I am sorry, I also have to announce that all you esteemed guests should rejoice about some good news, because the item we chose to switch to the first ce is very likely to be the most desired item with the highest bids of todays auction. And its quite a rare kind of treasure, even tempting me. If some customer would offer to buy it for me, perhaps I would give my heart to him in exchange. Being so beautiful, and having a natural charmbined with mental abilities of attraction, she was a perfect fit to draw in the 80% males present. From hearing that, there were actually people that couldnt help but shout that they would bid on it and offer it to her. Of course, these were only words. Some the frequent honored guests knew about Ye Weiyangs status. Disregarding her young age, her position in the Alliances Great Auction House was extraordinary, and the mere fact that she imed to possibly give her heart to the one who would be willing to buy this item for her, was a simple proof of the astronomic value of the first item. Seated, Long Haochen secretly eximed in admiration, _How worthy of the chief auctioneer of the Alliances Great Auction House! This simple few words aroused great interest, allowing ones imagination to run wild about what the first item would be._ Ye Weiyang made a graceful gesture, hinting thedy pulling the cart to approach. I believe that everyone is extremely curious, to know what kind of item we switched to the first position. Just speaking of it, I feel very curious too. Thats because I only heard of this treasure, but never saw one before. However, I believe that everyone here, regardless of whether you are a fighter or a rich merchant, should be extremely interested into it. This is an extraordinary rare treasure, or rather, an even more precious existence than any treasure. Next, let us wee the mysterious first item of the day. Shi! Another glint shone abruptly, this time emitting a faint golden color. This was something all the frequent customers from this auction knew, a treatment reserved to important auctions. Thebination of Ye Weiyangs words and the glitz showed that this first item was not only mysterious, but also extremely valuable. All kinds of gems appeared on a golden cart that was pulled on stage. The ones pulling the carts were not these two ceremonial girls from before, but a ck-haired girl d in a transparent white dress, looking as elegant as a fairy. Her face carried a little smile and looked extremely pure. On the contrary, the cart she pulled looked extremely gorgeous with its elegant matched patterns, which instantly attracted the eyes of all the spectators. In terms of appearance, Ye Weiyang was undoubtedly a bit inferior to this girl d in the white gown, but her character and charms more than made up for that. On stage, the two girls looked like a rose and a lily standing next to each other. The mere sense of beautying out from them aroused the emotions of the whole audience. Sima Xian opened his eyes wide, giving a dull look to that white-d girl. Apparently he was in a state of total shock. Not only him, but the others from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad felt their gaze freeze over that sight. Han Yu murmured next, Sima, is that the kind of little pure flower you just spoke about? That That cant be! Wow, wow, thats exactly it! This is the look of the lover in my heart! Am I dreaming? Han Yu, hurry up and pinch me! Han Yu violently pinched his leg without retenue, giving Sima Xian a painful feeling, but Sima only revealed an even more excited expression on his face. Thats for real! For real! No one can stop me! This girl is mine, I will definitely win her heart with all my strength. At that time, Lin Xin returned to his seat after having secretly headed below. Seeing Sima Xians excited appearance, he asked in puzzlement, What happened this time, Sima? Chen Yingerughed lowly, Hes just in heat. His target seems to be that pure flower on stage. Lin Xin looked dumbfounded, Sima, are you dreaming? Do you know who that person is? Sima Xian gave a puzzled look to Lin Xin, How could I be dreaming? Dont tell me you think your brother would beckingpared to anyone else? Lin Xin replied with augh, I cant be sure of that, but I can certainly tell you that this girl isnt someone that will be attracted only by ones rank. Unless shees to like you, even being a powerhouse of the ninth step would be of no use. Long Haochen coughed at that, Lets discuss this after the auction ends, have a look for now. Shouldnt this item be ours? Lin Xin nodded quietly, During auctions, the most attractive items would be the first one and thest. At the time of the first bid, no one will have spent any money and all will have their full buying power, while thest one is generally a good item kept in reserve. The reason why I chose the first spot was to know the value of our sale to determine our budget for todays purchases. With the top-notch maniption from Ye Weiyang, and the help I got from Feng Linger, not getting a sky high price would prove to be very hard, hehe. Chapter 358 - VIP auction! (II)

Chapter 358: VIP auction! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Feng Linger, this name is really beautiful. Sima Xian said very seriously, before grabbing Lin Xins shoulder, Lin Xin, we are good brothers right? What do you want? Lin Xin gave him an alerted look, but even if he wanted to, he wouldnt be able to struggle free of Sima Xians grip. Sima Xian said in a low voice, Introduce her to me, and you will be my big brother for life. Hearing this ridiculous conversation, Long Haochen couldnt help butugh, returning his look to the stage. Right at that time, the audience was far from being as calm as before. Seeing the two women a stage, everyone guessed that the first item had to be terrifyingly valuable. Ye Weiyang gave a nod to Feng Linger, who smiled before standing to the side. Ye Weiyang replied, Everyone must be full of expectations regarding the identity of this item. Let me hold this in reserve, and give everyone the starting price of this item, before showing you its true splendor. A morous discussion once again followed. Undoubtedly, giving the starting price before showing the item was against the ordinary customs. However, this way everyones curiosity rose to the peak. Ye Weiyang smiled, The future sessor of this auction house, and the most beautiful girl in the whole Alliances Great Auction House, Feng Linger, is going to announce the starting bid for this item. The sessor of the Alliances Great Auction House? Hearing that, Long Haochens group immediately understood the meaning of Lin Xins words. In fact, the Alliances Great Auction House was backed by the whole Temple Alliance! Feng Linger opened her deep red lips, and smiled, 8 million gold coins! Hong! When this number came out, the whole hall went intomotion. Even in the VIP auctions of the Alliances Great Auction House of Holy City, this price was extremely rare, even as the final result after heated bidding. And thest time it had been reached was actually for a piece of Epic-tier equipment. The goods on that golden cart could not be any ordinary pieces of equipment. After all, what item could reach such a high price? Those who had the buying strength for such things felt their breath be heavy. To them, money in gold often only represented a number and no more, what they loved the most were actually treasures. The looks on stage became different, and the two light beams shining on Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger merged above the cart. Ye Weiyangs voice, that seemed to be filled with magic, reverberated in the whole hall. If someone asks me what the most precious thing in the world is, then I will answer with certainty that it is life. Thats right; in this world, what could be more important than ones own life? Money is in the end just a bunch of zeroes, and our life takes the absolute priority. Once again, one more or less zero holds no importance inparison. Everyone knows about the value of life. If someone let me appear ten years younger, I would be willing to exchange all I have for that. But the treasure our auction house has today indeed possesses one such characteristic: its ability to prolong life. As Ye Weiyang said that, Feng Linger slowly lifted the red cloth off the cart, exposing a protective treasure box made of white jade. The white jade emitted some cold air, appearing all the more beautiful under the lighting from above. All the acknowledged people could tell that this box wasnt made of ordinary jade, but something made of superior quality jade. The kind that could only appear in the deepyer of ice from thousands of years ago. Just a box of jade of such size alone would reach millions of gold coins in value, to say nothing that it had to be the work of a great master in sculpturing. Engraved on it was a representation of nine white jade dragons. Even the most subtle scales on it looked extremely distinct. More astonishingly, a dense luster of gems indistinctly surrounded this jade box. Because of the properties of the jade box, the gem luster couldnt dazzle brightly, giving off a sort of illusory feeling. I am rising to eight million; no need to open the box yet! A vigorous voice resounded suddenly,ing out from the top row. Ye Weiyang gave a surprised look, and respectfully replied, Respectful honored number three guest, I havent announced the identity of this treasure yet. That vigorous voice gave a deep reply, I believe in the Alliances Great Auction House, and ording to the auctioning rules, I can bid in advance. If no one wants to bid over my price, I have priority in the auctioning battle. The priority in the auctioning battle was simply the precedence over others that would bid the same price, and he actually went as far as to grab this advantage so quickly. Nine million! A limpid female voice echoed,ing from a nearby VIP lounge. Ye Weiyang gave a regretful look to the third honored guest, My deep apologies to you, that honored guest from the fifth lounge bid over as you heard. But now, I must go on with the announcement. Humpf. That robust voice seemed very displeased about that guest in the fifth lounge. With an angered snort, he stopped all activity. Long Haochen and Lin Xin exchanged a nce, and the two of them couldnt help but draw a deep breath. This Alliances Great Auction House indeed deserved its reputation. Before the auction even started, the price had already risen to nine million. Ye Weiyang continued speaking, If this precious treasure is taken along with the corresponding medicine, it can lengthen a human life by ten years. Distinguished guests, given the priceless aspect of life, I think that you can understand this starting price of eight million gold coins. Moreover, if this precious treasure was simply consumed, that would only be a waste of its great potential. In Shengmo Dalu, which are the most powerful creatures existing? I think that everyone knows the answer to this: they are the dragons. Even if the cultivating aspect is not considered, no one canpare to dragons innate abilities. A dragons power lies in their physical power and their elemental abilities, cing them on the top of the food chain. Since I just said that, I believe that everyone guessed what this treasure is. Thats right, it is for a true and immense dragon crystal of the tenth rank that we are opening the bids today. She wasnt wrong in any way: magical beasts of the tenth rank were equivalent to human powerhouses of the ninth step. However With a turn on her tone, Ye Weiyang exposed a mysterious smile, followed by a light beam shining timely on her. A magical crystal from a gigantic dragon of the tenth rank priced at eight millions gold coins can not be considered overpriced for what it is, but it isnt a cheap price either. But would some of you be disappointed? Then, let me add a little detail to the previous introduction. Actually, this isnt the magical crystal of an ordinary gigantic dragon. Twelve million! The voice from before sounded out once again. This time, without any time of wait, sessive calls were made. Twelve and a half million! Thirteen million! Fourteen million! This auction could only be described as freakish. Before the item even appeared, the prices already reached such a dizzying level. Just as if she didnt hear these frantic bids, Ye Weiyang continued her introduction, Gigantic dragons are actually extremely few in the continent, and a lot of the known gigantic dragons only exist in legends. However, when facing our human powerhouses of the ninth step, most of them can only at most bow their heads. This is for the simple reason that they are not powerful enough.The ordinary gigantic dragons only reach the strength of the ninth rank. But as for this magical crystal we are putting on auction today, things are different. When intaking the water soaked in it to flow through ones body, ones external spiritual energy will be amplified to a great extent. The use of such a magical crystal to increase the external spiritual energy can value up to a hundred thousand units of spiritual energy! Of course, its not like everyone can sustain such a great power, and depending on ones physique and vocation, the one using it would only be able to gain 2,000 to 20,000 units of external spiritual energy. Of course, external spiritual energy is not the same as internal spiritual energy! As humans, external spiritual energy is extremely difficult to increase through pure cultivation. Even a powerhouse of the ninth step would hardly attain 10,000 units of external spiritual energy. But this magical crystal can give you immediately a defensive strengthparable to that of a gigantic dragon. Now, does everyone still believe our original price of eight million to be excessive? Moreover, its rarity is unprecedented, because the possessor wont suffer any retaliation from acquiring this one. Let me tell everyone now that this dragon crystal was given as a present, and wont create any issue. As for the rtionship between dragon crystal and equipment, I think theres no need to say much, as it can totally act as the core for any equipment of the Epic tier. After saying all that, everyone must be feeling that I am prolonging this introduction on purpose. However, it is actually not the case at all, because this item is just too precious, and I must let everyone of our honored guests know about its greatest characteristics. Of course, everything I said was just the tip of the iceberg. When its real name wille out, I believe that everyone will have their own judgement on it. Now, miss Feng Linger, I shall let you do this announcement. The light ray shifted to Feng Lingers body. Stepping forward slightly, she ced her right hand on the jade box, slowly opening it. Intense undtions of spiritual energy immediately dispersed from it in a puff. Our first article is the magical crystal of a Devil Dragon from the n of the Demon God Emperor. This time, what followed wasnt an uproar but a total silence. Everyones eyes were fixed on that formidable fist-sized magical crystal, letting out a dense dark golden light. It appeared to be full of a tyrannical power and destructive aura. As auctioneers, we must maintain secrecy about our sellers identity. However, as a girl, I am giving him my praise. No matter who achieved this deed, for having brought the crystal of a Devil Dragon to our Alliance, he is a hero for the human race. Ye Weiyang added new worth to that first item. In truth, even in the Alliances Great Auction House, it wasnt as if excellent goods would be appearing every time. This Devil Dragon Crystal was undoubtedly extremely precious, and ording to the appraisal of the auction house, was unconditionally valued above ten million gold coins. To the one who would really need it, this was a priceless treasure. Originally, they had nned on letting ite on screenter, but due to Lin Xins request, they had no other choice but to let it be sold as the first item. Chapter 359 - VIP auction! (III)

Chapter 359: VIP auction! (III)

Ye Weiyang had only obtained this information in thest moment, but managed to use it as a stimnt for this auction. No matter whether it was for her adaptability or her fearlessness, she was aplishing her role as the chief auctioneer of the Alliances Great Auction House to perfection. With a noise the start of the auction was announced. It seemed as though a terrible war had just started, and its participants were all in the top rows of their respective VIP lounges. After all, a dozen million gold coins wasnt an amount ordinary people could afford. Even those who had this much money wouldnt necessarily spend it. The expression on Long Haochens face was quite grotesque: If not for Ye Weiyangs introduction, he would actually not know that this Devil Dragon Crystal had so many good uses. It looked as if they couldnt sell the four remaining ones. Before anything else, using them to increase everyones external spiritual energy was the top priority. Finding out such benefits identally was really something they didnt expect. Thinking about this, he couldnt help but reminisce the time spent in cultivation with his father in Odin City. Didnt his father let him be soaked in some bath filled with herbal medicine? Lin Xin,ter on, please think of a way to buy or find a prescription using the Devil Dragon Crystal as its core. Theres no problem. I was actually already doing research about that, and results shoulde up in less than a few days. Regarding knowledge about spiritual stoves, Lin Xin wasnt equal to Long Haochen, but in the field of treasures, he was a lot more knowledgeable than Long Haochen. The price for the Devil Dragon Crystal rose rapidly, but after exceeding 15 millions, the bidding speed visibly slowed, rising by hundred thousand after hundred thousand. Clearly, although the rich people present were very hopeful to acquire this treasure, they also understood its real value and werent willing to pay an excessively high price. But the problem was that those who wished for this magical crystal were far too many. It seemed that every qualified bidder kept bidding, thus even when rising by one hundred thousand after another, the price rapidly passed eighteen million. This number already exceeded the true value of a Devil Dragon Crystal, but of course, considering the rarity of the item, this was still an eptable price. Twenty million. Right at that time, the robust voice of the very first bidder called out in a roar, and immediately, the whole hall became silent. Ye Weiyangs eyes lit up, Alright, our honored guest from the third lounge bid the price of twenty million gold coins. At this level, Weiyang is unable to discuss this price, but I believe that any item as long as it is desired is priceless. If no other honored guest wants to continue bidding against it, this item will belong to our honored guest from the third lounge. Extraordinarily, she didnt keep arousing the bidders moods, and immediately dered, Twenty million, going once. This was Ye Weiyangs intelligence. Given that this was the greatest auction house in the Temple Alliance, if she looked only into benefits, could she possibly keep raising the prices every time? The guests would be bound to be on guard, especially those seated in private boxes. Seeing that the price looked okay, she didnt continue tarrying over it. Twenty million, going twice. Twenty million, going three times, deal! The gavel was raised in a split second, and the Devil Dragon Crystal was sold for the price of twenty million gold coins. This price already exceeded Long Haochens expectations, but Lin Xin shook his head. Han Yu asked in puzzlement, Has-drugs-bro, are you still not satisfied even with that price? Lin Xin sighed, We rushed our sale too much. If we had decided to put this magical crystal in auction, with some publicity done in advance on my own, and by keeping it under pressure, the price would very possibly have kept on rising. Wang Yuanyuan replied to him, Thats about it, you must be content already. Sima Xian didnt say anything all along, only gazing fervently at Feng Linger on stage, until she disappeared along with the cart. After such a climax, the auction kept going on, and the true first item was pulled to the auction counter. Snow Lotus Herb. This item is a herbal medicine of five hundred years age, priced for 200,000 gold coins. Perhaps it was because of the too consuming previous auction, but Ye Weiyangs voice sounded a littlenguid, and a lot more concise. 210,000 gold coins! Lin Xin raised the number te in his hand without hesitation. He had always been the one deciding on what to buy on the medicinal field, and even Long Haochen wouldnt get involved. To say nothing about the fact that the current 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad was in a rich and imposing state. Lin Xin was now filled with confidence. Finally, this Snow Lotus Herb was actually bought by Lin Xin for the low price of 350,000 gold coins. Perhaps it was because the previous climax of the dragon crystals sale had been too violent, but the following articles werent sold for very high prices. Lin Xin intervened repeatedly, gaining three herbal medicines and a magical crystal of a magical beast at the eighth rank. Next, we shall wee our seventh product, which is a rarely seen good treasure. This item is not only precious, but also extremely rare. Among the crystals naturally filled with spiritual energy, its value is second to none. Even buying one to bring it home as part of a collection would be very understandable. Our seventh article is a top quality crystal of the spatial element, a spatial crystal. Hearing the words spatial crystal, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly sat up straight, giving a fervent nce to Lin Xin, who nodded to her, acknowledging her desire. As the cart was pushed forward and the red cloth on it raised, the original pitch-ck coloring of the auction hall lit up ordingly. This was a piece of ore the size of a human head. Not crystal, but ore. This piece of spatial crystal was not grinded or polished yet, still being in its primitive state. It still carried a lot of impurities, but it was alsorge! The soft silvery light from it gave an eerie feeling, as it emanated its dazzling glint. It seemed as if the space in the whole auction hall became distorted just because of its appearance. A spatial crystal is known as solidified spatial spiritual energy. This is how pure the spiritual energy contained inside is. Even more praiseworthy, a spatial crystal can absorb spatial power to recuperate from its consumption. In other words, it can sustain itself. As long as its user holds it in esteem, it can apany a user of spatial spiritual energy for their whole life, and suchrge chunks of spatial crystal are all the more rare. The reason why we didnt take the initiative to refine the crystal was to avoid losing this shape. The honored guest among you who will have the luck to obtain it can go carve it in ordance to his needs. Because of the rarity of such an immense spatial crystal, its starting price will be of two million gold coins. Although this starting price wasnt low, no one knew whether some damage or cracks existed inside. If there were, its price would be greatly affected by it. However, the rarer the item, the greater its worth, so the fixed price of the auction house wasnt unreasonable either. However, from hearing that starting price, the whole audience went silent. Spatial crystals were indeed good things, but spatial spiritual energy users were quite rare. Even if some possessed the spatial attribute, the crystal would only be useful to be embedded in their staff or equipment, reaching the Glorious Tier at most. Of course, that was valid for a small spatial crystal, but even if this ore was cut up to be iid in a piece of equipment, it would at most be a piece of Legendary Equipment. The most important aspect of this crystal resided in the umted spatial spiritual energy: the longer it would be stored, the more durable the item would be. Thus, with this price of two millions, the people wanting it were not numerous. Ye Weiyang secretly gave a silent curse. This item was just set at a too expensive price. If it was set at one million, would it create such an awkward silence? It looked like they would have to let this auction go. Which honored guest would want to bid? Spatial crystals are very rare items. Wang Yuanyuan then grabbed Lin Xins arm, looking close to exhaustion, Lets bid rapidly, bid rapidly! Wait. Wait some more time. Although Wang Yuanyuan was in such an anxious state, the current Lin Xin was extremely calm, having a dignified expression, he didnt act impatiently. Ye Weiyang kept asking a few times, but the whole audience went silent. Letting out a sigh, her thoughts were,?It looks like no one here today needs this item. However, she still smiled sweetly, Since none of you honored guests looks interested in this item, I can only let go of the auction with regret. However, I believe that some knowledgeable people are here. Ai Herst faint sigh immediately gave off an endearing feeling. Right at that time, Lin Xin finally acted, suddenly standing up from his chair, and shouted, For the sake of miss Weiyang, I will bid two million. How could I let an item managed by miss Weiyang be withdrawn from auction? A glint appeared in the eyes of Ye Weiyang, while the other participants below wereughing up their sleeves. It seems that this kind of situation would appear in every of the VIP auctions. Ye Weiyangs charm was really intense, and that was especially the case for some neers on which she would have a great enticing power. Yet, another one turned out to be duped again. All good, the 36th honored guest bid the price of two million gold coins. Thank you for your affection towards Weiyang. Saying that, Ye Weiyang politely gave Lin Xin a slight bow. Does another honored guest want to bid above that? Two million, going once, going twice. Deal! Finally, Lin Xin bought the item for the price of two million gold coins, recovering the huge spatial crystal in his sack. Wang Yuanyuan finally loosened her breath, but still gave a very fierce look to Lin Xin, telling him in low voice, Has-drugs-bro, you were trying to annoy me on purpose right? Lin Xin shot her a nce, Keep quiet if you dont understand. We have money, but it doesnt mean we have to spend it foolishly. Bidding right of the bat would only attract the attention from the otherpetitors. This is called tactics, you know? Yuanyuan, Lin Xin did the right thing. Long Haochen told Wang Yuanyuan in a low voice, before showing Lin Xin a thumbs up. One could only admit that in terms of business, Lin Xin was a top grade genius.

Chapter 360: Aria of the Goddess of Light (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The auction continued at a quick pace, and Lin Xin kept bidding again and again, coveting some rare nts and some especially useful magical crystals and magic scrolls. However, the amount of money he paid wasnt that high. Grasping the true essence of an auction, he reaped the best benefits. These VIP auctions originally had thirty-six items altogether, which became thirty-seven with the addition of the Devil Dragon Crystal. As time passed by, it was now the turn for thest item of the auction. The following auction will be thest item of todays VIP auction. It is also a great treasure we kept in reserve for now. Please wee Miss Feng Linger. Just like for the Devil Dragon Crystal, a golden light beam suddenly appeared, and d in her white dress, Feng Linger appeared once again in front of everyone. However, this time, she wasnt pushing a cart. She carried arge case in both her hands, which was covered with a red cloth, as she slowly advanced towards the auction counter. Although the red cloth was present as cover, the size of the case could be clearly seen. It was a one meter long cuboid-shaped case, reaching a third of a meter in width. It looked like arge item, and seeing the slender Feng Linger carry it gave the audience a feeling of pity. This is a sword that saw the blood of countless demons, and gave birth to magnificent legends. With the illumination of its divine light, it seals itself autonomously upon death of its master. Ye Weiyangs regretful voice resounded in the whole hall. On her face appeared a grieved expression. However, no traces of her mood could be seen on her face. It seemed as if this mood of hers was only expressed in the depth of her heart. This is a glorious sword, a godly sword filled with radiance and surrounded by legends. At the time it was put on auction, its owner gave an important request. That was, that the bidder had to be able to remove its seal and pay twenty million gold coins, otherwise, it shouldnt be sold no matter the price. Ye Weiyang revealed a mncholic smile, At this point, everyone should have guessed what kind of item we decided to sell today. This shouldnt be the first time it appeared on stage, but this item had to be put on auction a lot of times. As an auctioneer and a worshipper of this godly sword, I am very hopeful that it could find a new master today. If some honored guest can undo its seal, this auction house is willing to cover a third of the cost, in respect for this godly sword. Woah. Lin Xin remarked in amazement, An auction sale at a fixed price? Long Haochen asked, What is an auction sale at a fixed price? Lin Xin replied, Thats an extremely rare style of auction. The price of the item is fixed, so in other words, whoever wants the item can buy it, but the problem is that this kind of auctionprises some other conditions. Only if thepetitor manages to respect the additional conditions can he qualify to buy it. But items that are epted by the Alliances Great Auction House for an auction sale at a fixed price are bound to be pre-eminent existences. From my view, this sword is at least an existence at the peak of the Legendary Tier, or perhaps even As they were talking, Ye Weiyang removed the red cloth on stage, revealing a simple wooden case. The wooden case had a reddish brown color, and no excessive decorations, but a metallic handle. Its simple shape gave the visual impression that it ought to be an extremely ancient item, weathered by age. The auction hall was now extremely calm. It seemed that a lot of the honored guests recognized this item, and the atmosphere inside became stifling. Niece Weiyang, how about selling it to me. Although I still cannot dispel its seal, I will do everything I can after buying this godly sword to let it see the light. How about it? The one who started to talk was precisely that third honored guest, with the deep and resounding voice. Ye Weiyang shook her head with a distressed look, My apologies. I understand your kind feelings, but I have to see it being freed here. This was my grandfathers cherished desire. Weiyang wont hide it any longer, but I am actually this swords seller. This godly sword was actually owned by my great-great-grandfather, and is the weapon previously used by my ancestor. At the time grandfather was on his deathbed, his most cherished desire was to undo the seal on this godly sword, and let it see the light once anew, and if possible, let it keep drinking its fill of demon blood. If some guest has the ability, he can approach for a try. The premise condition is to be a user of the light attribute, and as long as he can undo the seal, even if he needs to pay in installments, he can take the sword. Saying this, Ye Weiyang turned around, slowly opening the wooden case. Gloom, serenity, sadness, and deathly stillness. At the time the heavy sword in this wooden case appeared in front of everyones eyes, Long Haochen felt these four negative feelings enter him. That sword was entirely ck, looking very simple and unadorned in style. Refined, it was in total a meter and a half long, among which the handle epassed the length of half a meter and the de the remaining meter. Its edge was above four fingers wide. The handle and the body blend into one another, as if forming the shape of an extraordinary metallic sculpture. Some meticulous patterns could be faintly seen on it, and its tip wasnt so sharp, being surprisingly covered by a ck pearl. No powerful aura was emitted, only the simple feeling of having weathered a lot of hard times. But everyone could feel that in this gloom and serenity, this heavy sword was full of mysteries. No one went on stage, but everyone maintained their silence, as if paying their respects to this godly sword. The general silence only made the atmosphere even more oppressive. Those who deserved trying had all already tried. Even a knight of the ninth step came had oncee for the sake of this heavy sword, trying to let it see the light. However, that person had also failed. Since even a knight of the ninth step had failed to let this godly sword reawaken, who would be willing to go on stage to take it. The distress in Ye Weiyangs eyes became even stronger, and with an indistinct sigh, she slowly ced her hand on the wooden box, My deep apologies. Because of Weiyang, everyone was put in a gloomy mood. However, I believe that one day, it will find its new owner. The auctions for today are close to end, so Weiyang wishes to give all the distinguished customers Wait. Right at that time, a clear and bright voice could be heard from someone who slowly stood up slowly from his row. Miss Weiyang, is it possible to ask you the name of this godly sword? Was asked in a clear and bright voice. Ye Weiyang shook her head, Sorry, dear honored guest. My grandfather said that unless this godly sword were to see light again, its name from those days cannot be revealed. She could tell from his voice that this person was very young, and only considered him as being curious about this godly sword. Feng Linger already turned her head around, preparing to withdraw this mysterious heavy sword, and all the participating guests also made preparations to leave. The only ones who didnt move were the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, because the one who stood up and raised the question was their captain, Long Haochen. I want to give it a try. Long Haochens clear and bright voice was heard once again in the whole auction hall. The whole audience went silent for a second, and immediately afterwards, noises followed and all the attention was focused on Long Haochen. The most recurring reaction on the scene was the words, _What an exaggerated opinion of his own abilities!_ Ye Weiyang immediately revealed a stunned look when seeing the masked youth, but due to the custom, she concealed her own reaction very well, forcing a smile on her face, Since things are this way, please approach, honored guest. However, can you show me proof of your light attribute? I can. Long Haochen said in a calm voice, Close your eyes. Thesest words were for hisrades, and immediately afterwards, a resplendent light abruptly came out from Long Haochens back. Right at that instant, the whole auction hall shone distinctly, and an rmed mour almost overwhelmed the whole ce. That instantaneous golden glint was really too dazzling, sweeping an intense aura of light over this previously dark stage. But because of the excessive brightness from this light, a lot of those seated in the back rows were blinded for some time. Fortunately, the golden light was only spread in a sh, and almost no one saw from where that golden light was issued. Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger didnt see either, in the instant that resplendent light was released, they unconsciously closed their eyes, and only the members from Long Haochens 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad felt that Long Haochen released his spiritual wings. Even under the illumination of the sun, Long Haochens four wings would emit a dazzling golden light, to say nothing about a dark ce. This was the reason why Long Haochen told hisrades to shut their eyes. Meanwhile, those who questioned his ability instantly became silent. Ye Weiyangs eyes showed great surprise, and she was absolutely shocked. Her personal attribute was also light, and because of this, her understanding of the light element was all the more deep. But just now, she clearly sensed that this intense light was released by Long Haochen. Although she didnt see the bright golden light Long Haochen had released, she determined that this was a Temple Knight of the seventh step, that had very possibly used Brilliant Body to produce such a condensed light elemental spiritual energy. Right, at this time, he just used Brilliant Body, but from his voice, this was still a youth and no more. Given his age, could he really have already reached the seventh step? That was impossible; he ought to have changed his own voice, to conceal his old age. As Long Haochen was walking slowly towards the auction counter, those bidders who were already prepared to leave stopped in their tracks, still recovering from the sight of the light released by Long Haochens four wings. Walking slowly toward the auction counter, Long Haochens look became more condensed. When he saw the already closed wooden case, he asked, Can I get started? Ye Weiyang unconsciously countered with the question, Can I ask for your age? Chapter 361 - Aria of the Goddess of Light (II)

Chapter 361: Aria of the Goddess of Light (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen without hesitation gave a categorical rejection, My age is not important. Ye Weiyang looked startled. She rarely encountered people that would reject her, after all, it wasnt by sheer luck that she managed to gain the position of chief auctioneer of the Alliances Great Auction House. Being a dual user of the mental and light attributes, she reached the conclusion that even bing a Demon Hunter wasnt any problem given her innate skills. Moreover, she had all the more confidence in her own charm. My apologies, then you may get started. Ye Weiyang dered in a low voice, while retreating some steps. Long Haochen slowly opened the wooden case. He looked at that heavy sword while both of his hands reached for the case. Seeing this behaviour, Ye Weiyang looked more rxed. Long Haochens movement looked simple, but was a sign of respect towards a weapon. This simple behaviour gave him a respectable look. Four fingers of his left hand were ced on the swords tip, and with the help of his thumb, he pinched the pearl on it. If it was an ordinary sword, he should have pinched the whole sword to avoid cutting himself. His right hand was however braced on the sharp part, and not the handle. This detail seemed very simple, but was exclusive to knights. Only a true knight knew about this sign of respect towards a godly weapon. For this reason, when Ye Weiyang saw Long Haochen do so, she felt extremely hopeful deep inside. Could this person really let the godly sword reappear to the light? If thats so Thinking to this point, Ye Weiyang couldnt help but reminisce about the words her grandfather had told her before. A supreme powerhouse wouldnt necessarily be the one to obtain the godly sword, but the most likely to seed would be someone who was connected to the godly sword by fate. _Could this man be that fated person?_ For some reason, Ye Weiyangs heartbeat quickened, because she already had the faint sensation of that possibility. Feng Lineger who was holding the wooden case with both her hands lifted it high as Long Haochen approached it. She felt very curious regarding him. Hearing his voice and seeing his stature, he should be quite a young knight. Nheless, her look only contained curiosity. Despite her simple elegance in normal times, and the purity of her pretty skin, she actually had an ardent heart. Long Haochens size of one meter eighty, which made him look like an ordinary youth, couldnt arise too great an interest in her, as that wasnt her type. Right in the opposite, the charming Ye Weiyang filled with mature charms was in her bones a very conservative girl. This was precisely the kind of person that couldnt be judged by their appearance. Regarding the observation of Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger, Long Haochen looked as though he didnt sense anything, looking straight at the godly sword before him. In the instant right before that case was opened, when Long Haochen sensed the auraing from it, he felt his entire soul being drawn by this divine sword. Given his superior perception, he could even sense the many changes on the godly sword. This sword was not simply a sealed weapon. In some sense, this weapon was already dead. How could a weapon die? When a true godly weapon lost its soul, it would reach the end of its life. Long Haochen waspletely sure that this godly sword before him had possessed its own soul in the past. Weapons with a soul were soul-owning weapons, but what did this mean? It implied that the weapon in question would be at least a powerful existence reaching the Epic Tier. In other words, the godly sword before Long Haochen had long before been a piece of Epic Tier Equipment. However, now that it had lost its own soul, Long Haochen was filled with even more respect for it. He could make the guess that on the day the owner of that godly sword had died and it was sealed, its soul had discarded its own body, only leaving an empty sword shell behind, as the soul of the sword itself followed its master to the other world. To affect his swords soul so strongly that it died along with him. One could well imagine how powerful its previous master had been. Who wouldnt have respect for this kind of person and this kind of loyal sword soul. Long Haochen was in that moment not calm at all. His movements were extremely slow, out of fear of profaning this godly sword. The reason why he came forward was not to obtain this godly sword, but out of his desire to dispel its seal. Just like Ye Weiyang said, this godly sword shouldnt be left in the darkness of a box, but should regain its light. Under the support of Long Haochens two hands, this pitch-ck sword slowly left its wooden box. Long Haochens eyes were glued to the sword. Not pouring any spiritual energy, he just looked calmly at it. His gaze was peaceful, but also sad. Even with the mask concealing his face, the nearby Ye Weiyang could feel his current state of mind, as his limpid golden eyes were not covered by the mask. Seeing the expression in his eyes, Ye Weiyang sensed that he was inplete symbiosis with the bleak aura spreading out from the godly sword. Ye Weiyangs heartbeat sped up. Before Long Haochen appeared, everyone who tried to obtain the sword, had activated their spiritual energy as quickly as possible to either control the sword or forcibly remove the seal. However, all those who did so had failed. Thus, Long Haochen didnt chose to do the same, and against all expectations, he tried to interact with the godly sword. Feng Linger, who removed the wooden box to the side, had an even more curious look. Taking a furtive nce at Ye Weiyang, she only saw her gazing at the man before her, not blinking an eye. It seemed as if time had stopped. The spectators who regained their sight sat back on their chairs one after another, watching Long Haochen with a calm look. They were also very curious about whether this person would be able to dispel the seal on the sword. Back then, that light element truly astonished quite a lot of them. The better ones understanding of the light element was, the greater their instantaneous shock at that time. Yating! Long Haochen gave a quiet call. An even more astonishing scene appeared. With a glint of golden light, a golden, almost human-sized silhouette suddenly appeared in front of Long Haochen. Although the current Yating didnt have the six wings on her back, her sudden appearance and the dense light emanated by her, as well as her shining body, truly were stunning. Even Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger almost turned pale at seeing the purity and the softness of the light essence released by her. Long Haochen stretched out his hands and presented the sword to Yating. Yating sensed his intentions and hurriedly stretched out her hands, just like Long Haochen had done right before. This This is Ye Weiyang suddenly covered her mouth, almost unable to mask her shock in spite of her unswerving determination. Yating was facing Long Haochen, and the audience at his back. Thus, those who saw her back were only Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger. They could clearly see that on Yatings back, six wings were tightly folded. They were also the ones who most clearly sensed the absolutely pure light elementing from her. _Is this a Light Elemental Fairy?_ Ye Weiyang was shocked to the extreme. Given her profound knowledge, she knew a lot about Light Elemental Fairies. However, to her knowledge, she had never heard of a Light Elemental Fairy that would look so simr to a real person. Yating made contact with the heavy sword, and the instant it touched her hand, the sword unexpectedly made a slight buzzing sound. The buzzing noise wasnt loud, but clear and melodious like a dragon chant, and resounded in the whole auction hall. Yating was also startled, because she clearly sensed that after grasping this heavy sword, she received an amiable reaction. That heavy sword actually seemed somewhat dependant on her. Long Haochen retreated a few steps. Making a fist with his right hand, he kowtowed, cing it on his chest to give a standard knight salute to the sword. A godly sword shouldnt remain covered by dust. I sensed your grievance and your pain, but the past is the past. If your master was still alive, he would definitely not be willing to see your sword soul follow him to the afterworld, and leave your splendor concealed. Ever since the day you gained a soul, you should have remained in a knights hand, using your sharpness to ovee all obstacles obstructing your way, and eradicate the evil to fight for justice. To fight and to protect every person that needs to be protected. Your light has to reappear in the human world, and your sharpness has to return to terrify the enemies. Pleasee back, sword soul in demise. Let your splendor reappear back on earth, and the power of light sweep away all darkness. Perhaps I am not fit to be your master, but I am willing to awaken you and let you choose a more fitting master. Long Haochens words were clearly filled with passion, full of austerity and pride. Despite the youth of his voice, it carried a resounding bloodlust. With a slight reeking of blood, a great pride was expressed by this simple speech. Yating was kneeling down, supporting the heavy sword with her hands before Long Haochen. This time, he didnt use both of his hands to take it, but reached out with his right hand to grab its handle with force. At this moment, Haochens face portrayed a number of different fleeting emotions.Hard to describe traits came out from Long Haochen. As he suddenly held the sword high, one could immediately see a gaudy white light erupt from his hand, which was instantly absorbed by that heavy sword. A holy aura even more pure and dense than all the holy aura he had emanated before erupted, and the nearby Feng Linger and Ye Weiyang saw that on the forehead of Long Haochens mask a dense golden glint appeared. It seemed as if nine bright patterns emerged. Buzz.This gaudy light spread out with intense buzzes, and right then, in front of Long Haochen, Yating suddenly made a move. Spreading the six wings on her back at the same time, her body shrank fast, returning to the size of a third of a meter. She floated above Long Haochens shoulder and started chanting a slow incantation. She emitted soft golden ripples spreading to Long Haochens body, which caused the gaudy incandescent light on his hand to gain intensity. In the name of the Goddess of Light, break, dusty seal! Long Haochens resounding voice echoed once again. Chapter 362 - Aria of the Goddess of Light (III)

Chapter 362: Aria of the Goddess of Light (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Suddenly, with an intense explosion of light, the roof of the auction hall was violently blown away to everyones surprise, and a brilliant golden pir of light appeared on stage. This pir of light looked very soft, making the gaudy light released by Long Haochen look coarse. Some illusory-looking little angels appeared, spinning around the pir of light. However, seeing this soft light, everyone had a different feeling from the assault of its power. _Goddess of light? Did he just say goddess of light? Is that divine power?_ _Ding._ With a melodious fracturing sound, a few cracks appeared on the sword hilt in front of Long Haochen. They rapidly spread until reaching the circr gem on top of the swords tip. All the ck color on it disappeared in a sh, before the pearl on top of its sharp end gained immediately a blossoming glow. It avidly absorbed all the light essence in the air. It finally awakened. After being covered in dust for hundreds of years, it finally awakened from its sleep. The pir of light that just appeared gradually disappeared, but the light emitted from the sword became more and more intense. The originally dark sword already turned transparent golden, and the previous dark patterns had the look of clouds, giving this sword a look of an immense dragon making its way through the clouds. The sharp pearl on the tip trembled vividly, and then the sword was held high above Long Haochens head. Like before, it wasnt pointed and neither did it have a sharp end, but around this divine sword, a radiant light started to scatter. In the midst of it, this blunt sword seemed unstoppable. The bright light slowly vanished, speaking at least of the one released by Long Haochen. As if feeling too reluctant to part with it, Long Haochen gazed full of fondness at the godly sword that reappeared in its original splendor. He clearly sensed that no matter how intense the light elemental spiritual energy he emitted was, this heavy sword would effortlessly support it. In particr, that spiritual bead on its tip engulfed all brilliance, and had unexpectedly also managed to absorb a lot of the divine power from the goddess of light, which had been released right before. This was a legendary sword! Even having lost its sword soul, this godly sword was still a godly sword at the peak of the Legendary Tier. From this, one may well imagine how powerful it was in all its past mour. Miss Weiyang, can you now tell me its name? Ye Weiyang foolishly looked at the brilliance released by the godly sword. Hearing Long Haochens voice, she was totally distracted, to the extent that it was only with Feng Lingers call that she awakened. Of course I can. Its name is: Aria of the Goddess of Light. My ancestor was the Chief from the Warrior Temple two hundred years ago, the holy divine sword wielder Ye Wushang. When she spoke the words Aria of the Goddess of Light, Ye Weiyang knew that her greatest secret couldnt stay concealed any longer, because this sword was just too prestigious. The Aria of the Goddess of Light was praised as a divine weapon amongst divine weapons. Two hundred years ago, two Divine Knights were approved by the Divine Thrones of the Knight Temple, but amongst the Six Great Temples, of that generation, the strongest powerhouse was neither of them. That was because an even stronger person existed in the Warrior Temple. This person was known as the holy divine sword wielder Ye Wushang. Ye Wushang possessed a passion for swords since he was young. Starting when he was three years old, he needed a sword to fall asleep. At his six years old, he started to study swordsmanship, and by the time he turned nine, he had undergone his awakening of spiritual energy and actually directly gained the strength of a Warmaster of the third step from it. At his eleven years old, he was already a Great Warmaster, and at sixteen, he broke through to the sixth step, bing a War Ancestor. This broke all the records of the Warrior Temple existing until that day. Ye Wushang had actually broken through the peak before even being thirty, when aged of twenty-nine years old, reaching the ninth step and bing the youngest Divine Warrior in the history of the Warrior Temple. One day when Ye Wushang was forty seven, the Demon God Emperor personally led his army to attack the Southeast Stronghold of the Warrior Temple. Keeping watch there, the Holy Divine Sword Wielder Ye Wushang personally intervened, fighting the demon army for a day and a night, and killing seven of the great Demon Gods back there in session. Even the proud Demon God Emperor was moved, calling Ye Wushang the greatest genius of the past thousand years in the Temple Alliance. Finally, the Demon God Emperor took the initiative to retreat, giving Ye Wushang three days of rest. Three dayster, in the Southeast Stronghold, the wielder of the Holy Divine Sword, Ye Wushang fought against the Demon God Emperor. This battlested for a day and a night, finally resulting in the death of Ye Wushang at the hands of the Demon God Emperor. However, hisst attack also wounded the Demon God Emperor. This was a world shaking attack. Ultimately, although the victorious Demon God Emperor killed his opponent, he bowed his head before Ye Wushang at the end of the battle, paying his respects and leading the demon army to withdraw. Ever since that day, the Demon God Emperor didnt appear on any battlefield in the Temple Alliance and thissted for a hundred years. His divine sword became an epic legend. In thest battle, Ye Wushang originally didnt need to challenge the Demon God Emperor, because the reinforcements from the Temple Alliance were there, consisting of the Six Great Temples greatest powerhouses. Even the full force attacks of the demons on the town wouldnt have necessarily been able to vanquish the Southern Stronghold. However Ye Wushang was determined to fight, going alone to challenge the Demon God Emperor. His deration was: If the humans want to defeat the demons, they will have to defeat their own selves first. It is to regain the human dignity that I am willing to fight against the Demon God Emperor. The glory Ye Wushang brought at that time to the Warrior Temple wasparable with the glory which the first Scion of Samsara bestowed on the Assassin Temple. Even now, in the great center hall of the Warrior Temple stood a ten meter high sculpture of the holy divine sword-wielder. At the front of the sculpture the words A hero of a thousand years were engraved. And the Aria of the Goddess of Light was something Ye Wushang created through his sweat and blood. Ye Wushang engraved this legend by himself. When he was three years old, he was holding onto his swords even in his sleep, and kept using those same ones until reaching the sixth step at sixteen years of age. At that time did he possess a total of five swords, which he managed to fuse into one through unceasing hammering and merging of their essences with each other. Through nourishing them with the demons blood, giving them the benediction of the essence of the earth, and melting dozens of different metals into one sword, they were sharpened. After thirty years, it finally became this sword. It was said that on the day of itspletion, the goddess of light descended. Finally, its name would have been decided to be Aria of the Goddess of Light. It was also by the means of this sword that the divine holy sword wielder Ye Wushang killed seven demon gods, and greatly injured the Demon God Emperor of that time. However, the pity was that only one year after the swordspletion, Ye Wushang perished in battle. On that day, the entire Southeast Fort was said to have been in tears, and the chief of the Temple Alliance of those years wept with grief, personally giving him the title of Hero of a Thousand Years. Of course, when hearing about the Aria of the Goddess of Light, Long Haochens surprise was as one may well imagine. He never expected that a divine sword surrounded by so many legends would be in his hands. Even if only its body remained, it still held a significant meaning. Leaning forward, Long Haochen gently stroked the sword that was the result of iparable hard work and effort. Feeling a sentiment of rage, he envisioned himself on that battlefield, apanying the divine holy sword wielder Ye Wushang. Under his touch, the Aria of the Goddess of Light actually produced some slight buzzing sound, as if it was excited about its rebirth. Holding the sword in both of his hands, Long Haochen offered the sword to Ye Weiyang, Miss Weiyang, please ept this divine sword. Ye Weiyang didnt take it, but gave Long Haochen an ardent look, If you dont have enough money, you can pay in installments. I keep my word, you were the one to let the divine sword reappear in its splendor, so you are its new master. Long Haochen shook his head in silence, No. Using money to gain this divine sword is sphemy. My only wish was for it to reawaken to the light. This divine sword is of extreme importance, and cannot even be described as precious. It should be yours, or be given to the Warrior Temple. Ye Weiyang let out a sigh, Who else do you believe is able to take this sword? In the instant you undid the seal, you already became its new master. This divine sword has a soul, and even if the swords soul is not present, this is not a sword I can use. Have a look. Saying this, she lifted her slim white hand, lightly touching the sword in front of her. Right the instant her finger touched it, an intense buzzing sound suddenly emerged, and Ye Weiyangs hand was not only rejected, but actually pushed away by the light energy. Long Haochen looked dull, So this divine sword still has a soul! It actually really has a soul! Gripping the handle, Long Haochen couldnt help but tighten his grip. How could he not have taken a liking to this divine sword? Moreover, what shocked him the most was the essence of divine light present in this sword. Ye Weiyang gave a reluctant look to the Aria of the Goddess of light, asking softly, Can you tell me your name? Long Haochen gave a silent nod, My name is Long Haochen, and I am the captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. His voice was being constrained by spiritual energy, and only Ye Weiyang could hear it. Ye Weiyang pointed to the back of the stage, Hurry up and leave. When I get the chance in the future, I will definitely look for you. Exactly, now Long Haochen had no other choice but to leave. With the rebirth of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, all the participants of the auction were going to be frantic. After a short time of lifeless staring, the whole auction fell into chaos. The door to the VIP lounge was already opened and some people left, but everyone else gave fervent looks to the divine sword in Long Haochens hands, and some even directly gave astronomic propositions. When Long Haochen was nning on recovering the Aria of the Goddess of Light, right before leaving this ce, a thought came to him, and with a golden glint, the divine sword disappeared from his right hand. Afterwards, with a sh, Long Haochen left through the backdoor. The others didnt ignore him, especially thoseing from the VIP lounge. Among them, a powerhouse stepped forward, passing the auction counter in an imposing manner, while producing angry protest in the whole auction hall. However, without letting him say anything, a terrible power suddenly erupted from all directions. The powerhouse on the stage was already at the eighth step of cultivation, but in front of this pressure, his expression changed greatly. Immediately, he jumped back from the counter. A downcast voice was spread to everyone present, Who dares to challenge the prestige of the Alliance? This is a ce for fair auctions, not a ce where you could take items forcibly. The auctions for today are already over, so you can leave. If someone else dares to rush into action, he will be killed without any hesitation.

Chapter 363: Test for Demon Hunt Squads of Commander grade (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales In front of absolute strength, everything was futile. The auction hall that was pierced by the power of light, which now had arge hole in the roof, immediately fell silent, and the contestants dejectedly left fast. No one dared to linger around. Although a lot of people were dejected from thatst incident, after the auction, the Alliances Great Auction House undoubtedly gained even more in prestige. The first item presented in the auction was the magical crystal belonging to a Devil Dragon, but thest one they had kept in reserve was the Aria of the Goddess of Light. What item would be more desirable than that? Perhaps this was a piece of Legendary Tier equipment that would not necessarily be above a Devil Dragon crystal in utility, but its fame was far beyond any Devil Dragon crystal. Someone recognized as the master of this divine sword would at least be an honored guest of the Warrior Temple. Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger were thest to leave the Great Auction Hall, and Ye Weiyang told Feng Linger to have a rest first, as she headed to a room in the rear of the second floor. The door was tapped twice, Senior, its me. Please enter., came the answer in a downcast voice. It was exactly the person who shocked all the contestants with his might earlier. Yes. Ye Weiyang pushed the door open and entered. In the luxurious room stood a person, with his back turned towards the door of the room. This person was tall and d in ck, and didnt turn around just because of Ye Weiyangs arrival. Thank you, you did very well. The downcast voice sounded quite sad. Ye Weiyang lightly shook her head, letting tears stream down her cheeks, I should be the one to thank you senior. With your assistance, the divine sword of my ancestor finally reappeared in the human world. He told me his name is Long Haochen. Oh. If its him, he will lead the divine sword into a bright future, and perhaps even surpass your ancestor. Oh? The ck-d man said in calm voice, You will see in the future. He broke through to the sixth step at merely fifteen years of age. This is one year earlier than Ancestor. In the future, perhaps all the records that exist in the Alliance will be broken by him. Long Haochen didnt know of this mysterious driving force backing the auctions of this time. After leaving the Alliances Great Auction House, he immediately removed his mask. Naturally, he wasnt afraid of anyone recognizing him as the youth who just gained the approval of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Quickly, everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad met outside of the auction house. Captain, you Lin Xin rushed towards him with some excitement. Having just had a thought, he was however stopped from speaking with a gesture from Long Haochen. Lets speak about this after heading back. Long Haochen made a gesture to the others who hurried to leave, directly heading to the area of the vis belonging to the Demon Hunt Squads. It could be said that this time, the results were extremely pleasing. Not only did Wang Yuanyuan obtain the spatial crystal she yearned for, and Lin Xin obtained quite a few good things for a good price. The amount of gold coins he used up wasnt high, and more importantly, Long Haochen undid the seal on the Aria of the Goddess of Light, making it acknowledge him as its master. Even if its uniqueness and the soul of this divine sword werent considered, the weapon was at the peak of the Legendary Tier, leaving them greatly pleased. As the captain and the soul of the team, the fact that Long Haochen obtained such a weapon would raise the battle strength of the whole team. Returning to the vi, Lin Xin impatiently yelled, Boss, hurry up to show us your divine sword. With a nod, Long Haochen outstretched his right hand. To everyones shock, it turned brilliant gold, just as if he had put on a glove, but this glove waspletely fused with his hand. Emerging out from his palm, was a small round gem in dim gold. It was precisely the spiritual bead originally ced on the tip of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Long Haochen remarked, This godly sword cannot be stored in the Eternal Melody. This seems to be due to its own pride. However, it can make its way into my hand, and I seem to be able to sense its power under those circumstances. Saying that, he lifted up his right hand. With a sh of golden light, the dazzling Aria of the Goddess of Light appeared once again before their eyes. If it was only in terms of demeanor, this godly sword would be inferior to Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. However, the aura released from it madepletely up for that. While it reached a terrifying length of two meters, its de also reached an extreme width of a third of a meter. Without a doubt, if this godly sword were to appear on the battlefield, it would simply be a weapon of ughter. Long Haochen gave his sword an affectionate look. He really became fond of it, to the extent that his excitement from getting it even surpassed the reaction he had at the time he obtained Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was obtained through a trial, so he could be said to have subdued it, but this godly sword actually acknowledged him. More importantly, Long Haochen cared about the glorious prestige of this swords past. In his heart appeared a certain urge to use it. I wont let you remain in the darkness. I will let you shine with the same brilliance as back in the times the divine holy sword wielder Ancestor Ye roamed the whole continent. As if understanding Long Haochens words, Aria of the Goddess of Light made another buzzing sound. The bright light of the sword vanished, and returned into Long Haochens right hand, whose palm turned golden again. Long Haochen turned around, looking at hisrades, Everyone should rest for today. Tomorrow, well go and raise our grade in the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower. Then, well try to find Legendary Tier Equipment for everyone as fast as possible, before getting some training in the Tower of Eternity and proceeding with our journey. This simple instruction exined all his future ns. After getting promoted to themander grade, they would be able to head to the third floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center to buy some Legendary Tier Equipment. After changing to new equipment, and returning to the Tower of Eternity to continue their training to increase their groups battle strength, they could return toplete missions as a Demon Hunt Squad. Lin Xin, can you please go back to the Alliances Great Auction House tomorrow and offer one of our remaining Devil Dragon Crystals tody Ye Wushang? Just tell her its a little something from me to make up to her. Okay. Although Lin Xin was a stingy person, he clearly knew about ounts; giving a dragon crystal for the Aria of the Goddess of Light was no loss for their side. Next day, Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower. Demon Hunt Squads of different grades woulde to ept different missions in the Mission Tower. When a Demon Hunt Squad wanted to get promoted to a higher rank, their members would have to apply for the upgrade at this ce, and undergo a test initiated by the mission tower. On the second floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower arrived a group of youths, totalling seven people, who proceeded on their way after showing their tile as general grade Demon Hunt Squad. The staff members behind the six counters stood at the same time, giving these youths respectful looks. Ever since the problems about the mission Exploring the Deste Hissing Cavern, the Alliance firmly cleaned the ranks of the staff members working in the Demon Hunt Mission Tower. And with the direct execution of the previous coordinator, the current staff members working there were not only a lot more prudent, but also showed a much better attitude. This was especially the case on the second floor. Excuse me, can we know the procedure to raise our rank to themander grade? This group of youngsters was led by a very handsome person. He looked like someone who came out of a painting, with his ck hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes of a limpid golden color. Even with a mere nce, his image would easily leave a deep impression. The youth who asked this question was Long Haochen, and at his side were the others from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Long Haochen directly addressed the staff member behind a counter. In this ce, there were only six counters, and six staff members to manage them. You want to rise to themander grade? The staff member was startled, but continued, Respectable Demon Hunters, raising your rank to themander grade requires all the members to have broken through to the sixth step of cultivation, and to pay a hundred thousand contribution points. Additionally, your squad has to undergo a test. Are you sure you want to proceed? Long Haochen nodded, I am sure. But just what is this test about? This staff member appeared very patient, Due to the fact that the missions increase marginally in difficulty after gaining a grade, the Alliance created a certain test for the sake of the Demon Hunters safety. Thus, at the time you want to raise your grade, you will need to pass this test, and only by seeding can you indeed ept higher missions after advancing in rank. Of course, the contribution points required to rise to the next grade are only paid once. Even if you cannot pass the test now, you can try it again after raising your strength. Long Haochen nodded, Okay. Then we want to take the test to rise to themander grade. The need for a test to ascend in rank was the t Alliances way to take responsibility for them, so they naturally had to go along with that. Demon Hunters always strived to pass missions of a high level of danger, but without sufficient strength this could easily result in their death. Okay. Then please wait a moment. I will ask you to pay 100,000 contribution points first. Without being told by Long Haochen Lin Xin stepped forward, and transferred 100,000 contribution points to that staff member. The staff member took out a form to be filled by Long Haochen, before leaving in hurry to inform the staff for the test. The form was very simple. It only epassed gaps where the team members had to fill in their names, strength, and original Demon Hunt Squad number. Long Haochen filled the form this way. 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Captain: Long Haochen, Radiant Guardian Knight of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 7,000 units. Vice-captain: Caier, Stealth Master of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 5,000 units. Member: Wang Yuanyuan, War Ancestor of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 5,000 units. Member: Sima Xian, Red Cardinal of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 5,000 units. Member: Lin Xin, Magic Conductor of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 5,000 units. Member: Chen Yinger, Beast Master of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 5,000 units. Retainer knight of Captain Long Haochen: Han Yu, Radiant Knight of the sixth step, internal spiritual energy 5,000 units. When Sima Xian wrote the words Red Cardinal while filling the form, Long Haochen unconsciously looked at this Red Cardinal focussed on brute strength, and helplessly shook his head. The staff member didnt leave for a long time. As he returned, he nced at the form filled by Long Haochen. After a mere nce, he lost his voice, You are the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad? Chapter 364 - Test for Demon Hunt Squads of Commander grade (II)

Chapter 364: Test for Demon Hunt Squads of Commander grade (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Long Haochen gave him a doubtful look, What? Is there any problem? No, nothing. The staff member clearly stuttered at the time he spoke, gulping his saliva. Formerly, they were the ones who raised an upsurge in the mission tower. And given how young they looked, let alone reaching themander grade, the fact that they were a general grade Demon Hunt Squad was already extremely shocking. However, he quickly weed the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. This staff members didnt dare ask about their circumstances, and only said respectfully, Please follow me to the Alliances Great Stadium. I have already notified the Demon Hunt Squad inspection team. Your test will be conducted in the Warrior Temples Stadium. Understood, thank you. The Alliances Great Stadium wasnt far away from the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower. Rapidly, everyone arrived at the test grounds. The serviceman from the Alliance hadnt told them that the ones in charge for testing were already there. And furthermore, they were actually a group of six. From their equipment, it could be seen that they each came from their respective Temples, and all looked to be around thirty or forty years old. Seeing the group of seven led by the staff member enter the stadium, these six examiners couldnt help but exchange looks, disying some great surprise. _They They are just too young. Could it be that they mistook this location with the ce of promotion from the soldier grade?_ However, when the staff members showed the knight examiner the papers Long Haochens group just filled before, they understood that there was no mistake, and that they were really prepared to pass the test to rise to themander grade. However, just how old were they? It didnt even look like any of them reached twenty-five years of age yet. That staff member from the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower rapidly retreated after delivering the form. He was going to act as supervisor. Although they still felt doubtful, there was nothing these examiners could say. After all, the form Long Haochens group filled out was very clear. ording to their respective cultivation, these youngsters indeed had the strength to take the test for a promotion. Long Haochen strode forward, arriving before the six examiners. cing his right fist on his chest, he gave a standard knight salute, Examiners, Captain of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad Long Haochen reports. The knight examiner leading the other group also gave a knight salute, Hello, I am the knight that will be assessing you this time. Every Demon Hunt Squad needs to undergo our trial to get promoted. The contents of the test will be exined soon, but first of all, we need to check the uracy of your spiritual energy values. Then, we will be able to start the test of strength. Everyone will need to pass the test for the team to get promoted. Have you made your preparations? Long Haochen gave a respectful reply, Reporting, all the members of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad are ready. The knight examiner gave a nod, Okay, then lets undergo the test of spiritual energy. If everything written on this form is urate, every one of you should be at the sixth step. Be prepared for individual tests right after that. Yes. The others all moved forward and lined up in a row. Every examiner handed them a water crystal used to estimate internal spiritual energy, and the first task for them was to release their spiritual wings before undergoing the test. This was to avoid cheating. After all, some pills could temporarily increase internal spiritual energy, but they couldnt fake the symbol of the sixth step, the spiritual wings. Under the examiners shocked gazes, the seven of them immediately spread eight pairs of spiritual wings. Intense surges of elementary spiritual energy immediately filled the air in the Warrior Temple Stadium. The others examiners were still better off. Although they saw that these youngsters were still young, to have dared to ept the test, they should have their own secrets. But the knight examiner waspletely startled. Han Yus spiritual wings were ordinary, only a bitrger than the spiritual wings of ordinary knights of the sixth step, which was a visible proof of his great talent. However, at the time Long Haochen released those four wings sparkling in resplendent light, this examiner was absolutely shocked, immediately bing nk and speechless. _What What kind of spiritual wings are those?_ Being a high ranked knight, he had seen uncountable quantities of spiritual energy in the past, but it was the first time he saw such odd wings, consisting of two pairs! The crystal in Long Haochens hand also gave a strong impression. The final count of spiritual energy was 7,316 units, actually showing some visible reservations on his form. The other examiners also watched him attentively. These four wings were indeed just a too rarely seen thing. The knight examiner finally came back to his senses with difficulty, Long Haochen, what happened to your spiritual wings? Long Haochen gave a loud reply, Examiner, I dont know either. It is very possibly resulting from a variation of spiritual energy. Sima Xian at his side couldnt help but cut his way in, Examiner, our Captain just has a superior talent, thus naturally did not turn out the same way ordinary people do. _A superior talent?_ The knight examiner let the corners of his mouth twitch. Wasnt his superior talent just too tremendous? This odd situation had to be reported. Please wait a moment. Because of your particr spiritual wings, we will have to report your situation to the Alliance, but the others can already start their own tests. Long Haochen was also somewhat helpless, but his spiritual wings were something he couldnt change. At the time of release, they inevitably came in two pairs. Okay. The knight examiner hurriedly left. While the other examiners also felt really curious, the test had to go on. Since the knight examiner left, Long Haochen and Han Yu naturally could only watch the rest from afar. ording to the sequential order, the first to be tested was Wang Yuanyuan. The others temporarily withdrew from the stadium, only leaving Wang Yuanyuan and the examiner of the Warrior Temple inside. This warrior examiner had a sturdy build, and an imposing stature. On his left hand was a shield and on his right hand a heavy sword. He wasntcent against Wang Yuanyuan. Demon Hunters and ordinary people werent the same. With both sides at the sixth step, Demon Hunters would at least be able to handle two or three ordinary opponents. Although Wang Yuanyuan was very young, this examiner was still extremely prudent. Are you prepared? The warrior examiner asked Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan replied, Please wait. Her spatial armor was neatly worn, and looking at it, the examiner was full of envy. The other party was also only at the sixth step, but already d in a piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier, while even as an examiner, he had just a spiritual armor. _Bang._ The Gigantic Divine Soul Shield suddenly fell to the ground, giving the warrior examiner quite a fright. This terrible shield was evenrger than Wang Yuanyuan herself, and carried a domineering aura that was brazenly spread out. Yet another piece of equipment at the Glorious Tier? The mouth of the warrior examiner twitched once again; _being a Demon Hunter truly looks enviable_. While embedding her three spatial gems in the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, Wang Yuanyuan asked the examiner, Examiner, how do we pass the test? The examiner replied with an agonized expression, We examiners are all approximately at the fifth rank of the sixth step. You will have to defeat us to pass the test. Because of the shock from the sight of Long Haochens four wings, the examiners actually forgot to exin the contents of the test. Their cultivation of the fifth rank of the sixth step meant that they reached the standard of an internal spiritual energy that was above 6,600 units. Okay, then Im ready now. Wang Yuanyuan nodded. Their conversation was heard by everyone close to the field, and Sima Xian bravely dered, Eh, fifth rank of the sixth step. What ack of pressure from them. Long Haochen shot him a re, causing him to shut up. Nheless, the nearby examiners didnt look disturbed at all. _To be honest, youre just equipped a bit better, but the gap of spiritual energy isnt something that equipment alone can bridge._ But right as their mood was wavering, the battle on the other side started, or more urately speaking, ended. With a glint of silvery light, it was over in one blow. Thats right, from beginning to end, Wang Yuanyuan only used a single attack, and actually went to test the ability of her own spiritual stove. Her attack was simple: she instantly teleported through the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate, before arriving at the back of the warrior examiner and continued brazenly with Space Splitting Saut. That warrior examiner only made it in time to use his shield to resist instinctively, but immediately, the shield was broken and the man sent flying,nding twenty meters away. He violently crashed to the ground and left a ravine on the ground of the Warrior Stadium. Just like that, the battle, no, the test was over. Wang Yuanyuan was all the more surprised from this result, murmuring, Spiritual stoves are really of great use! The other four examiner instantly looked petrified. What was that? Just like that? And that female warrior, didnt she just used instant teleportation? A warrior able to teleport instantly? Han Yu was the first one to react,unching a healing spell on that examiner from the Warrior Temple. In truth, Wang Yuanyuans strength didnt present such arge gap with this warrior examiner. But the Spatial Gate was just of too great utility, not only aplishing instant teleportation, but also perfectly concealing the fluctuations of spiritual energying from Wang Yuanyuan in the process. If not for the fact that that warrior examiner unconsciously turned around due to sensing the danger, the Space Splitting Saut would have hit him directly. As her own strength went up, Wang Yuanyuan began to be able to bring out more and more of the power of the Divine Soul Shield. In itself, Space Splitting Saut was a powerful ability of the Divine Soul Shield, and caught off guard like that, even if this warrior examiner had a stronger spiritual energy than Wang Yuanyuan, he couldnt resist that. Thus, he suffered such a huge loss. Of course, he didnt end up seriously wounded, since Wang Yuanyuan didnt keep attacking. Dejected and depressed, warrior examiner crawled up from the ground, and actually gave a look devoid of good intentions to Wang Yuanyuan, dering the words, Examination passed, before leaving with a gloomyplexion. Wang Yuanyuan came back to herrades, shrugging her shoulders to hint that she didnt actually expect the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate to be of such great use. Chapter 365 - Test for Demon Hunt Squads of Commander grade (III)

Chapter 365: Test for Demon Hunt Squads of Commander grade (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Chen Yinger gave a thumbs up, and said with augh, So cool! The four examiners were still in a state of shock, while on the side of the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, Caier slowly approached the center of the field. The assassin examiner instantly narrowed his eyes. Being a veteran assassin, he could tell from Caiers footsteps that this person wasnt weak at all! And furthermore, the form had said that this person was their vice-captain. The other three examiners nodded to the assassin examiner with energy, hinting that he had to recover their lost face. The assassin examiners eyes were filled with a sharp glint, as he headed on the field with meticulous steps. Caiers hand shed, and the green cane she used before appeared in her hand, before she indicated to that assassin examiner, I am ready. The assassin felt enraged. _Am I not being overly looked down at, to the point that she wants to handle me using this green rod?_ Resisting the anger with difficulty, the examiner disappeared in a sh. This was the greatest Assassin ability of the sixth step, Invisibility. Although an assassin would only be able to erase his presencepletely after reaching the eighth step, the simple ability of disappearing in this way would give him a substantial gain in strength. Facing the vanished assassin, Caier stood there motionless, just the same as a rock. Suddenly, a shadow shed in the air, and two ck shes entwined like dragons, aiming at Caiers head from above. Right at this time, Caier made her move. Seemingly, her shoulder only swayed slightly, before the original Caier turned into six. There were exactly six of her now, and the six looked just as real as the original. More frighteningly, the six Caiers were actually all moving differently, and six green rods stabbed at six different ces on the ground. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop Six sounds were heard almost instantly, and immediately afterwards, the figure of the assassin examiner appeared in midair, followed by an astounding scene. The six Caiers kept showing different movements, attacking from below as the six green canes formed a gapless in the air. Following next? The battle simply ended. The back of the assassin examiner crashed violently to the ground as the six Caiers instantly merged into one. The green cane was pointed at his throat, before she immediately headed back towards herrades. The assassin examiner didnt take his loss that hard. He rapidly stood up, but didnt leave in such hurry as the warrior examiner, only asking eagerly, Why is it that your Doppelganger divided into six versions of you? Even as a Stealth Master of the sixth step, I can only divide them into three myself? And there should be two fakes and a real one, but you Caier calmly replied, I dont have any obligation to tell you, and you cannot possibly aplish the same. At the time she said that, she already returned to Long Haochens side. Lin Xin remarked in low voice, Looks like her domineering side is being exposed once again! The examiners had even more unsightly expressions. Facing Demon Hunters who wanted to rise to themander grade, being defeated was absolutely normal for them, but being defeated this fast wasnt normal. And the opponents defeating them were far from their level of spiritual energy! Should be my turn. After the tests for the three close quarter vocations, the mage should be the one following. But Lin Xin went as far as to advance with a happy and excited expression. The mage examiner however didnt have such a good look, and entered the stadium with a very alert expression. At the time he saw the Fire Cloud Crystal in Lin Xins hand, his expression became unsightly. Mage equipment couldnt be assessed easily by a mere nce, but the thickness of the elemental fluctuationsing out of Lin Xins staff already told a lot about how powerful it was. And it possessed a highly violent fire. This mage examiner had the sole thought, _I cannot end up covered in soot!_ As soon as Lin Xin said he was ready, this mage examiner rapidly used one defensive spell after another. Being of the wind element, he covered himself with green barriers and relied on his spiritual wings to soar in the sky. In the air, wind mages were the most agile of all. To be frank, given how fast thest two tests concluded, it truly gave him a fright. The reason was principally the surprise of the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate belonging to Wang Yuanyuan, and the exceptional power of Caiers Doppelgangers. Although the final result from fusing three spiritual stoves was only a boost of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, this was after all a fusion between three spiritual stoves! With the addition of her great natural advantage in talent, she managed to create six clones, each possessing their own offensive capabilities. This was how the two of them were wronged in such way, but if they had been focused on defense, they would inevitably have at least put up a fight. This mage examiner learned from the past lessons and was prepared to fight steadily and surely, at least to recover some face. However, the opponent he faced was Lin Xin, the mage unable to use any offensive magic. Seeing him being that defensive, Lin Xin was rejoicing. Lifting the Fire Cloud Crystal high, he started some chant. Soon, an intense fire elemental essence condensed frantically above his staff, giving off the false appearance of a mage about to use a powerful spell. And the mage examiner keptunching defensive spell after defensive spell, attempting to stop Lin Xins first round of attacks. How could he know that Lin Xin actually wasnt chanting any incantation, but only kept pouring magical power in his staff, preparing tounch a Fire Curse. When an immense skull made of blue mes appeared, directly shooting towards the examiner, his only thought was to turn his head and run away. After umting 5,000 units of spiritual energy in addition to the original amplification rate from Fire Curse, plus carrying the power of the fused Spiritual Stove, merged from the Heart of mes and Spiritual Stove of Fire Phoenix, this thing was already something even a powerhouse of the seventh step wouldnt dare to rashly meet head on. Moreover, Lin Xin gained a lot morepared for example with Wang Yuanyuan in the Illusory Paradise, or rather, was second to none in the team regarding the quantity of gains he got from there. Finally, under Lin Xins control, the immense Fire Curse skull stopped in midair, and the mage examiner immediately admitted his defeat. Nheless, Lin Xin still overlooked something. After pouring almost all his spiritual energy into it, this thing was already uncontroble, and finally, the Fire Curse exploded in the field. Its huge explosive power struck both the mage examiner and Lin Xin, covering them in dirt from head to toes. The three consecutive battles ended up as victories, and this gave a great boost to the morale of everyone from the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Following next, Sima Xian appeared on the field. He was their priest, their Red Cardinal. Sima Xians opponent was the only female examiner. But when she saw the armored Sima Xiane to the field, her eyes filled with surprise. This is the priest test. The female examiner reminded sternly. Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light wasnt done being reforged, so thatrge staff from before was in his hand. Gesticting, he dered, But I am a priest! Didnt you see my form and my answers? The Red Cardinal Sima Xian, thats me! Lin Xin shifted his gaze, What Red Cardinal? What I see is closer to a red butcher. Sima Xian gave them a re, shamed into anger, before making gestures to the female examiner, using the staff in his hand, Respected examiner, things are this way. I am a rather special priest, a rarely seen Discipline Priest. Have you heard about them? The priest examiner gave him a doubtful nce, A Discipline Priest? Whats that? Sima Xian replied in all earnesty, Thats an individual in charge of control, responsible for the respect of the rules in the Priest Temple. Mh, bluntly put, thats a priest adept in battling. Lets do it this way. A normal fight of one against one between the two of us wouldnt seem fair, so how about doing that: Illunch an attack from the air against you, and if you believe that you can block me, well continue, but if you dont think you can, lets consider the test as passed. Saying that, he didnt wait for the approval of the other side, and animatedly raised his staff. Yes, Sima Xians spiritual stoves were fused, but he ended up being the most miserable one in the group at the time of the fusions, almost turned into barbecue. However, because of this, the overwhelming power of his fused spiritual stove was all the better. Right then, after he lifted the staff in his hand, an intense light instantly shed, and intense purple thunderbolts surrounded his staff. On Sima Xians chest, an intense purple radiance was lit, amplifying the color of his armor. His staff was moved to the side, and immediately afterwards, a golden bolt was sent flying. But this wasnt an ordinary bolt of lightning. Surrounding the light bolts wererge amounts of thunder energy. Durng the flight of the bolts of light, that purple lightning appeared like a melted part of the golden bolt, turning it intopletely purple gold, before Rumbles. When the bolt of lightnded on the ground, everyone felt their own body going numb, and in the center of the field, a three meterrge hole appeared in everyones line of sight. This hole was over three meters deep, leaving everyone speechless from the sight of that destructive power. More terrifyingly, around the current Sima Xian, purple golden bolts of light just like this one were revolving one after another, and they werent little in quantity. A total of nine bolts circled in the air. Each was fist-sized, but when his staff was lifted again, another bolt of light formed above his staff, gaining in size at an astounding speed. Okay, lets say you passed. The female priest chose to admit defeat without hesitation. Was that a priest? Even if this female examiner was even gentler, she would still have the impulse of cursing him in this situation. Therefore the fourth assessment was concluded. Wow Sima, youre really a true priest Chapter 366 - The test of the Temple Knight (I)

Chapter 366: The test of the Temple Knight (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Sima Xian returned to hisrades incency, shooting Lin Xin a nce, See brother, this Spiritual Stove of Divine Purple Thunder isnt bad. Hehe. Lin Xin replied with a snort, Its still inferiorpared to my Spiritual Stove of Phoenix of Blue mes. Sima Xian exceptionally didnt retort, Indeed, it cannotpare to your Phoenix of Blue mes! Mh, Brother Lin, you see, I wondered, when you could introduce me to that girl Lets talk about thatter. Lin Xin didnt find the name Phoenix of mes eye-catching enough, thus he had added the word Blue. And after the fusion of Sima Xians two spiritual stoves, the final result was named Spiritual Stove of Divine Purple Thunder. And everyone saw the terrible offensive power of that stove. As for how to use it, even Sima Xian himself was still training in that aspect. The only sure thing was that the burst power of this spiritual stove was truly considerable, and it could be used to cause serious damage on the battlefield. The aftereffects also had a continuous flow, slowly turning this Red Cardinal into a red roasted pig. The examiners gathered, looking at the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad, as if they were monsters. They were all at the sixth step, but how wide was the gap between them? Being all perspicacious people, they could perhaps not tell that Wang Yuanyuan and Caiers power in battle came from spiritual stoves, but they could distinctly tell that the gap between Lin Xin and Sima Xians abilities and their own was due to spiritual stoves. In particr, Sima Xians Spiritual Stove of Purple Divine Thunder was too special. Aside from their envy, the examiners felt only hateful toward the unfairness of fate. Chen Yinger animatedly approached with the little pig McDull in her arms, Should be my turn, my turn. Seeing her like that, the examiner from the Spiritual Temple didnt even move to the field, revealing a painful smile, All right. Theres no need to keep assessing you. With the strength you just showed, even a veteranmander grade Demon Hunt Squad wouldnt beparable. Lets regard it as saying that you passed the test. After ourst examineres back, we will just promote you to a Demon Hunt Squad ofmander grade if he has no objection. Reaching this point, what else was there to test? Wouldnt continuing the test just be the same as humiliating themselves? From Chen Yingers expression, it could be seen that this person was also full of secrets. Their whole team was already more than strong enough to be qualified for themander grade. As for that young knight? Given that this person was their captain and from the power of the members, could their captain becking? Right at that time two knights d in armor arrived, including the knight examiner from before. The other knight looked a bit younger, and was walking in the front, imposingly heading to the field. Given the ability of each of the fields from the Alliances Great Stadiums to restore themselves, the traces left from the previous test had already all disappeared. The knight examiner looked at everyone, and asked the other examiners, Didnt I tell you to assess the others? Why did you stop? The mage examiner unhappily replied, We are all finished. Youre the only one left: the others are all done being assessed. So fast? Were you all defeated that quickly? The knight examiner asked dumbstruck. The other examiners didnt answer his awkward question, giving him some supercilious looks before turning back. The knight examiner recovered from his short time of shock, thinking secretly, _That judgment was truly worthy of Sir Saint Knight Chiefs legendary reputation! From their looks, its only my luck that I am not the one assessing this knight. The others clearly suffered great losses._ Having these thoughts, he stepped forward to face Long Haochen. His tone was a lot more polite than before, Hello Captain Long. Your situation was reported to Sir Saint Knight Chief. He said that due to the fact that you have a retainer knight, your test will increase in difficulty. You will be tested together with your retainer knight and face against this honourable Temple Knight. The two of you will have to join hands to defeat this Temple Knight and be promoted in rank. Long Haochen gave a startled look to Han Yu, and couldnt help but react with hesitation, Mister Examiner, this doesnt seem very fair. Arent you trying to force us knights of the sixth step to defeat a powerful knight of the seventh step? The knight examiner gave the helpless reply, These were the words of the Saint Knight Chief. He passed us the word that if you cannot do that, you can return to acquire more education. At the time youll be able to do that, you cane back to get examined. How could Han Yu not know his own grandfather well? The knight examiner had actually even imitated Han Quians speech pattern. Han Yu gave Long Haochen a helpless look, telling him in low voice, It looks as if grandfather doesnt want us to be amander grade Demon Hunt Squad so soon. Long Haochen gave a slightugh, Since things are like this, we shall try it. Grandteacher doesnt know our current strength well either. Hello respected senior Temple Knight. May I ask whether you are a Mythril Foundation Armored Knight? The Temple Knight shook his head, No, Im not. I am trying hard to get a Mythril Foundation Armor right now. Hearing that, Long Haochen and Han Yu rxed their breath, and Long Haochen replied, Then our test can begin. That knight examiner gave a startled look to Long Haochen and Han Yu, thinking secretly, _Are these two really nning on epting this test?_ From his point of view, the Saint Knight Chief Han Qian obviously gave this order to make things difficult for them, and because he didnt want them to be amander grade Demon Hunt Squad. From the expression of the Saint Knight Chief at that time, this should have been done for the sake of protecting them, but these two actually chose to challenge an opponent one step higher than them? In the heart of the overwhelming majority, challenging an opponent a step above was an impossible task. The gap between steps came with an immense difference in strength, and oveing it was supposedly impossible. It should be the same even in a situation of two against one. That was how qualitative the changes between the sixth and the seventh step were. That Temple Knight didnt say anything, nodding in response, and telling politely, Please, Captain Long. Saying that, he headed toward the stadium. Hearing the familiar tone of this Temple Knight, Long Haochen asked as he also headed to the same field with Han Yu, Senior, do I know you? The Temple Knight gave a smile in response, I heard the stories of the miracles Captain Long produced on the battlefield. And I hold Captain Longs strength in great esteem. You are a true hero. In a sh, Long Haochen realized that this person seemed to have heard of him through someone in the Southern Mountains City. Nheless, this was nothing good for this test. Since the other party heard of everything that happened in the Southern Mountains City, he wouldnt look down upon him in the slightest. A Temple Knight of the seventh step going all out in battle against him, this mere thought almost gave him a headache. Right as Long Haochen and Han Yu looked a bit depressed, this Temple Knight summoned his own mount without reservations. With a glint of bright light, a white unicorn appeared at his side. The Temple Knight mounted it, ance in his hand. Thence shone in a brilliant golden color, and its sharp brilliance appeared limitless. Given how out of the ordinary it looked, it should be a piece of Glorious Tier equipment. Although this unicorn wasnt a formidable Starlight Unicorn, even as an ordinary unicorn, it had to reach the sixth step as a mount. Long Haochen had a bitter smile across his face, There is no need to be so serious mister, even calling out this mount. This Temple Knight revealed a smile, This is a proper sign of respect towards a hero. I have no certainty of winning against the two of you, so I will naturally have to go all out. Topare notes with Captain Long, I would feel deeply honored if the two of you would also summon your own mounts. Then we can start the assessment. Although he summoned his mount in advance, he didnt n on attacking Long Haochen and Han Yu by surprise. Banning helpless and bitterness from his face, Long Haochen revealed a serious look. On his forehead, a purple glint appeared, and next, an immense figure appeared before him. To everyones shock, that was Haoyue, who already gained a fourth head. As soon as he appeared on the battlefield, his close to ten meter tall massive stature shocked everyone present, and the eyes of the Temple Knight abruptly shrank, sensing his powerful pressure. On the other side, a Demonic Eye over one meter tall appeared behind Han Yu. Through continuous evolution, it already grew over four tentacles, which floated around it as it coldly eyed the nearby Temple Knight. Long Haochen tapped his feet on the ground, leaping softly on Haoyues back. cing his right fist on his chest before giving a knight salute, he dered in a grave tone, Please give me advice, Senior. Haoyues four heads were raised at the same time, his four different colored pairs of eyes portraying a strong fighting intent. After returning to the Priest Temple, Long Haochen had left Haoyue in the Tower of Eternity to recuperate, since anyway, Haoyues cultivation wasnt affected no matter where he did it. And above that, after he grew his fourth head, he started to attract attention very easily, and couldnt be taken back to Holy City. Thus, after summoning Haoyue, Long Haochen clearly felt that Haoyues fighting intent was extremely strong from having been constrained back in this ck and red world for so long. This Is this an Earth Dragon? Standing afar, the observing knight examiner was drenched in sweat. It wasnt that he had never encountered Earth Dragons before: his own mount was also one, but it didnt even have half the size of the ten meter tall Haoyue! Standing there, with over three meters height, Haoyue made Long Haochens opponent look extremely small. And what Earth Dragon was that? It clearly had four heads! The other examiners were originally feeling depressed because of their defeat, but seeing Haoyue appear, their feelings of gloom were suddenly swept away. They even suspected that they werent a match for this terrible magical beast alone. This mount was truly worthy of a Demon Hunt Squad! Especially considering how powerful these individuals were.

Chapter 367: The test of the Temple Knight (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The Temple Knight was still a veteran powerhouse who quickly returned to hisposed self after the shock. After giving a knight salute to Long Haochen, he shouted loudly, Lets start then! Saying that, his unicorn rushed towards Haoyue at a fast pace. It was surrounded by strong fluctuations of light, instantly bursting out from the knight. One could clearly see the powerful Holy Fire conjured on his unicorn. A powerful pressure exuded him, and the Temple Knights right hand turned transparent gold, from the use of Brilliant Body. He was really going all out from the beginning. The other examiners activated the protective barrier of the Warrior Stadium without hesitation. This was a battle involving powerhouses of the sixth and the seventh step. And since they were all using mounts, heaven knew what destruction the battle would cause without the use of the barrier. To everyones surprise, Han Yu and his Demonic Eye stood motionless on the side, not co-operating with Long Haochen at all. Only standing far from them, Han Yu had his sword in his right hand and his shield in his left hand, silently watching the battle. No one had more confidence in Long Haochen than him. He personally witnessed the awakening of Long Haochen as a gods chosen one. After that, what was a single powerhouse of the seventh step? Could a Temple Knight who recently broke through to the seventh step really defeat Long Haochen, who was currently at the sixth rank of the sixth step? Without any need for Long Haochen to give him the instruction, Haoyue rushed forward at the same time the unicorn approached. Stamping the ground with his four robust limbs, he crunched his four ws into the ground, directly rushing at the opponent. Some low-pitched and some resounding incantation sounds were heard at the same time from his four heads, and the light in his eyes intensified. The unicorn unfolded its wings, brazenly rushing forward and taking flight. Instantly, a pair ofrge spiritual wings spread out on the back of that Temple Knight, and in tandem with the unicorn, he pped his wings at a strong pace. His speed almost tripled just at that time, turning him into streams of golden light rushing towards Long Haochen on Haoyues back. The Temple Knightsnce was aimed at him, and emitted golden streams from its point. The two parties werent separated by arge distance anymore, and right after the Temple Knight and his mounted unicorn soared to the sky, they dove down in a split second, falling at an iparable speed. But right at that time, Haoyues four heads were done casting their spells. After evolving, Haoyue didnt only gain the head Little Blue, but his evolution strengthened him as a whole. This was clearly reflected in all the spells he used. A green glow appeared in the sky, directly aimed at the Temple Knight and his unicorn, greatly slowing down their rush forward. With a p, the Temple Knight instantly strengthened the Holy Fire by twofold, routing that green light in the shortest time possible. This was Wind Constriction, a constrictive spell of the fifth step. The wind spell was the fastest, but the following attacks were more powerful by a lot. An enormous fireball and an enormous ice ball instantly rocketed in the air. The two balls soon reached two meters in diameter, and as they rose in the air, the red and blue colors formed a truebination of fire and ice. Furthermore, the instant they appeared and were locked on the Temple Knight and his unicorn, the air in the sky actually changed color. The Temple Knight felt the air before him burning, while a cold chill reached his back. This was the true meaning of abination of ice and fire. Little Light aimed a golden glint at Long Haochen. A brilliant golden light bolt reached out for his chest. Right at that instant, Long Haochen felt the spiritual energy in his body seemingly rise up. He sensed his spiritual energy increasing by 2,000 units. Because these additional 2,000 units of spiritual energy wereing from external help, it felt ipatible with his internal spiritual energy, but wouldpletely affect his next attacks. This was Spiritual Light Boost, a powerful supportive spell of the sixth step. Providing incredible support to powerhouses of the light element, it could rise spiritual energy by 2,000 units, which was a shocking number. In fact, usually a knight of the fifth step would only have a total of 2,000 units of spiritual energy or a bit more only. Facing the powerful attacks of ice and fire, the Temple Knight didnt dare to use Holy Fire and felt helpless. He could only control his speed and his direction downwards while pointing hisnce downward too. Two gaudy golden bolts of light erupted at the same time as the shield in his left hand was shifted to the left side. With two enormous bangs in the air, the unicorn clearly shook violently, letting out a pained cry, and even the Temple Knight felt very unwell. Although he destroyed the attack from Little me and Little Blue, thebined effects of ice and fire caused a change in temperature affecting the stability of the fluctuation of his own spiritual energy. Right at that time, he arrived before Long Haochen. Pointing his spear forward, he aimed for Long Haochens chest. Long Haochen was standing on Haoyues back, preserving a hunched posture. In his left hand, the Glorious Holy Shield was ready since long ago, and brazenly blocked the attack. Right at that time, a golden light silently rose behind him. Scarlet golden mes instantly surrounded Long Haochens body, while an intense golden halo rushed against the attack of the Temple Knight. All of this happened very quickly, and the spectating people only saw Long Haochen and the Temple Knight confront each other, meeting head on for the first time. The Temple Knight rode his unicorn to attack from above Long Haochen, but in his defensive posture, Long Haochen only retreated slightly, illuminated by golden light from Divine Obstruction. All the observing examiners were dumbstruck. At the sixth step against an opponent of the seventh step, he forcibly blocked his all out attack as if it was nothing? How could they know about the boost granted by Haoyue and Yating, and the weakened state of the opponent? Long Haochen also used Divine Obstruction, known as the most powerful defensive spell for knights. The fact that he managed to stop this full force attack implied that Long Haochen had the strength to deal with the opponent. The unicorn did a turn in the air, once again confronting Long Haochen, and the expression on the Temple Knights face looked more serious. At the time hisnce collided against the Glorious Holy Shield, his senses were assaulted like a shaking mountain. Even if he was greatly weakened, given his use of Brilliant Body, he should be suppressing Long Haochenpletely on the elementary aspect. But things actually turned out contrary, and to his stupor, he found out that the one whose element was being suppressed was himself. Long Haochens light seemed a lot more pure, and above his shoulder floated a Light Element Fairy, but how did it look so substantial? And atop of that, it should have been one of her abilities that blocked him. At that time, Yating stayed in the size of a third of the meter, silently floating above Long Haochens shoulder. Houuu Haoyue raved with his four heads simultaneously, and indistinctly, a massive purple illusion appeared above Haochens head. It looked simply like a sh, and no one saw clearly that right at that instant, the unicorn suddenly came to a standstill before swaying in the sky in panic. It was forced to slowlynd on the ground. Forbidden sky? So Haoyues mere roar managed to trigger a Forbidden Sky? Long Haochen was already experienced, so how would he let such an opportunity slip by? His spiritual wings rushed out from his back, and all four pped. In a sh, he appeared before thending unicorn. In his right hand, with a surge of light, the Aria of the Goddess of Light was thrown into battle for the first time under his control. A massive golden sword blow took shape in the air, forming a terrible glint of light in a circr sector, chopping directly at the Temple Knight. The Aria of the Goddess of Light let out some sob-like buzzing sound, as if expressing its frustrations umted for more than a hundred years. The Temple Knight was also outstanding. When facing such a sudden attack, he swiftly discarded the shield in his left hand, pushing this hand on the back of his unicorn instead. As he emitted a powerful surge of light element spiritual energy to help the unicorn stabilize, hisnce was released like a bolt of lightning. He aimed right at the core of Long Haochens strike, actually looking for the sharp point of the Aria of the Goddess of Light in the midst of his Asura Strike. Ding. A ringing shing sound was spread widely all around. It could be clearly seen that a golden trace was left on the armor of the Temple Knight,ing from the power of Asura Strike. Long Haochens attack was finally blocked by the Temple Knight. However, this was just the beginning of the Temple Knights shock. At the time hisnce shed against the sharp end of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, it hit that spiritual pearl, and the sharp point of his ownnce dissolved at a shocking speed. The instant the two parties shed against each other, hisnce actually lost over a sixth of a meter in length. Not only that, but with a sh of purple light, Haoyue unexpectedly appeared under Long Haochen. With an horizontal sweep of his tail, he violently whipped the unicorn and the Temple Knight. No good! The Temple Knight secretly called out, rapidly grabbing the shield on the saddle with his left hand, while standing on his toes. Rushing out from the back of the unicorn, he shed against Haoyues tail. A shocking scene happened next, and Haoyues four heads became all purple colored right in the instant he shed against the Temple Knight. Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, a Shield Charge wasunched by the Temple Knight, but was actually overpowered by Haoyues tail, causing the unicorn to crash against the ground, falling down in a trembling heap. Of course, Haoyues massive figure also dropped down due to the effects of gravity. However, Long Haochennded before everyone else, pping his four wings. With a purple gling he appeared next to the falling Haoyue. Although the shock from the fall still shook the ground greatly, this only raised some dust. This was the utility of their blood contract on the battlefield. After breaking through to the sixth step, the link between Long Haochen and Haoyue enabled a connection close to instant teleportation between the two of them, proving to be of massive use in battle. Chapter 368 - The test of the Temple Knight (III)

Chapter 368: The test of the Temple Knight (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Right at that time, the staff in Yatings hand was held high and when Long Haochen and Haoyueunched their attack, her incantation which was being chanted all this time was finallypleted. A total of eighteen golden bolts of starlight shot out. The first one was the slowest, but the second followed in a split second, and the same went for the third, the fourth, and so on until the eighteenth. Each golden bolt of starlight was fired without missing a beat, and their session caused a peaked eleration, forming a resplendent spear of starlight, directly shot against the Temple Knight. This was the light spell of the sixth step, Starlight Spear. The Temple Knight didnt even have the time to be in shock, and unsteadily pped the wings on his back. Thence in his hand pointing forward, shed against the Starlight Spear. With a loud bang, golden glitters filled the sky, and the Temple Knight was sent flying backwards, making a stuffy noise. Fortunately, his unicorn promptly pped the wings on his back to help himnd. However, the Temple Knight was already pale from these sessive attacks he sustained. With a glint of gold, Long Haochen already appeared once again before him, this timeunching a piercing blow with the Aria of the Goddess of Light. In the instant of that attack, the massive image produced by the Aria of the Goddess of Light vanished, and the pearl on its tip burst out with a gaudy luster. A prative sword blow burst forth, rushing against thence of the Temple Knight. The sh of the Aria of the Goddess of Lights main body and thatnce shook both his mounted unicorn and himself. With an ear-piercing crack, thence emitted some golden light and broke into pieces, while an Asura Thrust followed next, aiming straight at the Temple Knights chest. The Temple Knight only felt the terrible intent from the sword lock on him, and didnt dare rush into action. Shifting his posture slightly, he avoided being crushed in the same way as hisnce right before. It was not only the Temple Knight that found the scene unimaginable, but even Long Haochen himself felt so. He didnt expect that he would actually defeat a Temple Knight of the seventh step single-handedly, and in such a short time. After this, he didnt keep continuing his series of attacks. With a golden glint, the Aria of the Goddess of Light vanished with some buzzes of excitement into Long Haochens hand. Long Haochen showed an apologetic expression. The Temple Knight let out a bitterugh, You should be a Retribution Knight right? What a powerful burst power! I really lost fairly. You have a spiritual stove, and its surely an evolved Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. With the addition of the suppression from your mount and your own bursting strength, you won. Thats no wonder. Youre truly the hero who confronted a Moon Demon of the eighth step back in the Southern Mountains City. The two of them stood up from the ground, and after giving a knight salute to Long Haochen, the Temple Knight dered, I will immediately report back to the Saint Knight Chief. You can continue your registration as amander grade Demon Hunt Squad. I was honored to have this battle against you. After saying this, he sent back his unicorn, and backed down inrge strides. Long Haochen unconsciously lifted up his right hand, giving it a look. He understood that the fact that he managed to win so easily was greatly rted to the presence of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This was the first time he felt that a good weapon could instantly turned the tides in battle. This divine swords point looked dull, but the spiritual pearl on the tip actually had the ability to break the opponents weapon. And at the time he used Asura Thrustter, it seemed that the swords light and the swords intent released along with it were part of the ability of this divine sword as well. This was in the realm of the abilities carried by equipment of the Legendary Tier. Now, those examiners gave Long Haochen looks filled with reverence. This young knight actually defeated a powerhouse of the seventh step and dominated the entire battle. His victory was thus proper and right, be it due to his powerful mount, his spiritual stove, or his own strength. This person truly deserved to be the captain of this powerful Demon Hunt Squad. Now with their strength as a whole, even amongmander grade Demon Hunt Squads, they were most likely already among the strongest. The examination being over, the following course of events proceeded smoothly. Half an hourter, the procedure waspleted, letting them advance from being the 21st general grade Demon Hunt Squad to being the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Indeed,mander grade Demon Hunt Squads were far more numerous than general grade ones. ording to the staff member of the mission tower, the most numerous Demon Hunt Squads were at themander grade and the king grade, followed by those at the emperor grade, and finally, those at the general, soldier and titled grade. Those at themander grade, king grade and emperor grade also formed the Alliances main force. Their Demon Hunt Squad Tiles were changed for ones made of mythril. Starting from that point on, Long Haochens group officially became a part of the Demon Hunt Squads forming the core of the Alliances strength. Relying on their newly promoted tiles, Long Haochen led his allies to leave the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower, since their first goal was to go visit the third floor of the transaction center. The miraculous power of the Aria of the Goddess of Light gave him even further awareness of the necessity of powerful equipment to bring out the best of their abilities in battle. As for getting promoted once again in grade, that was not a pressing matter. Thus, they were prepared to spend their remaining contribution points to rise their fighting strength to the greatest extent. How bustling! Once reaching the third floor of the transaction center, Chen Yinger couldnt help but dere in astonishment. In fact,pared to the two other floors below, this third floor was especially bustling. Although the area was only as wide as the first and the second floor, this ce was filled with people to the brim. It seemed that some people were gathered in front of every booth, and in front of the offices were dozens of people. Lin Xin dered, I heard that the third floor is the most bustling ce in the whole Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center. This reputation seems to be well-deserved. Sima Xian asked in puzzlement, Why? Lin Xin replied, First, this is because Demon Hunt Squads of themander grade are that numerous, and then because Demon Hunt Squads of higher grade would alsoe down to buy things here. And furthermore, because of the great number ofmander grade Demon Hunt Squads, the sold items are of great quality and stock to the point that even some King grade Demon Hunt Squads woulde down here to buy things. How could it not be bustling. Long Haochen nodded to Lin Xins words, Since things are like that, we shall do it the same ways asst time. Everyone will look for equipment fitting their own necessities, before looking for Lin Xin to do the purchase. Let me emphasize that you should take the boost of our strength as a whole into consideration. Lin Xin, please check on them. Yuanyuan, Yinger, Han Yu and you have the priority on the purchase. Yuanyuan takes the first priority and then does Han Yu. Han Yu, youll have to find a good sword. Long Haochens words came from the heart. After an overall consideration, he came to decide for these arrangements. Wang Yuanyuan didnt fuse spiritual stoves in the Illusory Paradise and gained the least from the trip. And since the beginning, her main equipment was the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Although a spatial crystal had been found for her, in consideration for the sake of increasing their group strength, the priority was given to find her a piece of Legendary Equipment. Then, the urgency for Han Yu was hisck of a good weapon. As for Long Haochen himself, he evidently ced himselfst in the priority order. Although the dragon crystal wasnt delivered to Ye Weiyang yet, his Aria of the Goddess of Light could be considered to have been exchanged for a dragon crystal. In addition to this fact, he still had his Glorious Holy Armor and Glorious Holy Shield, so for the moment, no change was really required for his equipment. At most, he would get another sword at the Glorious Tier and that would be sufficient. After everyone scattered, Long Haochen took Caiers hand and searched on this crowded third floor. His first point of attention was to look for some good defensive or protective equipment for Caier. After all, since she reached the sixth step, the Ne of Invisibility wasnt of great use to her anymore. After passing in front of two vendor booths, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a sigh, _No wonder this ce is so crowded, there are after all quite a lot of good items!_ Among the lot, the most present were magical crystals belonging to magical beast of the fifth rank at minimum. And he even saw a magical crystals of the eighth rank in one of the booths, belonging naturally to a demon powerhouse of the eighth step. Magical crystals aside, rare materials and resources were innumerable, and conversely, equipment was present in the least quantity. Even if some equipment was present, it was only at the Glorious or the Spiritual Tier. After his visit of three booths, Long Haochen didnt see a single piece of Legendary Tier equipment. After arriving at the fourth vendors booth, still not seeing any trace of Legendary Equipment, he couldnt help but ask the owner, Hello, do you know where we could find Legendary Equipment on this floor? The owner was a middle-aged man who was above thirty years of age. Seeing Long Haochen and Caier after raising his head, and seeing their unexpectedly young age, he couldnt help but show a surprised expression, asking the question, Little Brother, you already attained themander grade so young? Long Haochen smiled in response, We got to attain themander grade by a fluke, but we are not so young, its just that we rather look young and no more. There was nothing to be done, after all, it wasnt their own fault they were too young. Long Haochen didnt want to be a target of focus for someone else, thus only said this much. The owner replied with augh, Interesting. So you just asked about Legendary Equipment right? Let alone that there are none here, Im afraid you wont find any on this whole third floor. At the Legendary Tier, equipment reaches the level of rarity of magical beast crystals of the ninth step. Themander grade Demon Hunt Squads like us are the most numerous here. The conditions to reach the level of king grade Demon Hunt Squads are extremely lenient, which team wouldnt have arge amount of contribution points in store? In case Legendary Equipment would appear, it would be bought instantly. Moreover, once getting some equipment of the Legendary Tier outside, which team wouldnt be prioritizing the satisfaction of their own needs? Unless it is totally useless to them, no one would choose to sell. I rmend you to directly have a look at the counters belonging to the transaction center. Perhaps the odds to find Legendary Equipment will be better there, but their price will also be higher than from Demon Hunt Squads like us. Thank you for your directions, mister. As Demon Hunters, each side would naturally have goodwill to the other. Long Haochen gave his respectful thanks and prepared to look for the counters of the transaction center, when this middle-aged man suddenly called out for him. Chapter 369 - Two Pieces of Legendary Equipment

Chapter 369: Two Pieces of Legendary Equipment

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Little brother, I have some pretty good equipment here though, do you want to have a look at it? Saying these words, that middle-aged man threw a little wristguard at Long Haochen. Now that Long Haochen reached the sixth step, he could judge the rank of a piece of equipment with his senses. However, this was merely a piece of Spiritual Equipment. Catching it, he mustered a serious expression. Mister, what uses does this have? Long Haochen asked with curiosity. The middle-aged man replied, It carries a secondary ability called Absorption. Dont look down on it just because its at the Spiritual Tier. It has many great uses in particr situations. Its supplementary ability Absorptionsts for ten minutes, only consuming a bit of your own spiritual energy. Then, if you carry this wristguard, you will be capable of flight in any area free of obstruction for the duration of the Absorption. Unless your arm gets cut or you voluntarily deactivate it, these effects wont stop. And every time you remove it, activating it the next time will require to invest a bit more spiritual energy. Long Haochen was filled with doubts, Dont all of us possess the ability of flight as ones who reached the sixth step of their vocations? This Absorption ability is Not waiting for an exnation from him, Caier took the wristguard from Long Haochens hands and spoke with a nod, If we want this piece of equipment, how much would it cost? The middle-aged man smiled, You sure are knowledgeable. Not much, just 10,000 contribution points. Okay, please wait a bit. Caier gave back the wristguard to the vendor, and quickly called Lin Xin over. Not bargaining further, she directly used ten thousand contribution points to purchase this wristguard, and put it on her left hand. After leaving the booth, Long Haochen couldnt help but ask, Caier, is this piece of equipment at the Spiritual Tier really worth 10,000 contribution points? Caier revealed a smile and replied, It may perhaps not be worth it, but this is the kind of good item that even the wealthy people may not find. It is quite an umon type, and all umon types of equipment carry some special abilities. This wristguard doesnt carry an absorbing ability, but an ability known as Absolute Absorption, based on the sellers words. Dont think we can fly in any environment just because we have the ability of flight. This Absorption ability can save ones life a lot of times. Let me give you a simple example, if we are in an environment forbidding flight or underwater, of what use will our spiritual wings be? Also, when facing magical beasts, by the means of Absorption, we can keep the enemy in a very unfavorable situation while attacking him uninterruptedly. As a whole, the opportunity to get this kind of item isnt a chance to be missed. Youll see its definite efficacy in the future. When the two of them were done talking, they already arrived at the official sales counters of the third floor, directly bringing Lin Xin along with them. In front of the sales counter were quite a lot of people, and the reception clerks were also not few. Long Haochens group of three entered from the edge, and found a staff member receiving them with difficulty. Hello. Excuse me, do you have some Legendary Equipment for sale here? Any kind will do, we are looking to buy some. Long Haochen told the staff member The staff member appeared startled, as if shocked by his rich and overbearing presence, Please wait here. I have to check for that. Rapidly, the staff member was back, There are presently two unsold pieces of equipment that are avable for inspection, and two that are being inspected. Do you want to examine one of those two? The inspection he was speaking about was the right of the Demon Hunters to have a look at the equipment. After their evaluation, they would decide whether to buy it or not The two that were being examined should be in the hands of the other Demon Hunters in front of the sales counter. Long Haochen nodded, We want to inspect both. The staff member responded, Please pay 20,000 contribution points as an examining fee first please. If in the end, you decide to take the equipment, the examining fee will be used as part of the payment to buy the equipment. If you renounce on buying it, the inspection fee can however not be recovered. Lin Xin unsatisfactorily called out, Isnt this a rip-off from you? We have to spend 10,000 contribution points just to have a look, why dont you just directly rob us? Do you know how hard it is for us to gain contribution points from killing demons? The staff member replied with an unchanging face, Sorry, these are the rules in the Transaction Center. Because there are many issues touching upon Legendary Equipment, examining it casually will be very hard for staff like us. If you have any problems, you can negotiate with the executives from the Transaction Center. Lin Xin seemed to want to say more, but was put to a stop by Long Haochen, Let it be, Lin Xin. Give him the contribution points. Lin Xin was widely known as the one who would chase the furthest after benefits, but he couldnt go against Long Haochen. Still feeling unreconciled and unwilling, he transferred the 20,000 contribution points to the staff member, however, his eyes were whirling, making his thoughts a wonder. Please wait a moment. After receiving these 20,000 contribution points, the attitude of the staff member immediately became all the more respectful. The fact they consented to take out these 20,000 contribution points was a proof that they truly had the buying power to buy the equipment. Prior to this, he felt quite contemptuous because of their young age, but now swiftly hid these feelings away. The surroundingmander grade Demon Hunters werent few, and their move immediately attracted the attention of quite a few people. In fact, not allmander grade Demon Hunt Squads would have the courage to spend twenty thousand contribution points just to look at Legendary Tier Equipment. Otherwise, these two pieces wouldnt still be up for sale. After a wait of no less than a quarter of an hour, that staff member returned to the counter before two other senior staff members approached. These two were d in white gowns, and appeared to be over fifty years old, filled with dignified bearing. In the hands of each of them was a case. The staff member instructed the three of them, If you three are from the same Demon Hunt Squad, you can examine them together. Thank you. Long Haochens group of three didnt stand on formality, and entered the sales counter from the side door, which led to a room in the rear. The two senior staff members followed them. The interior of the room wasntrge. It looked like a ce where staff members usually rested. These two staff members put the cases on the table, before making an inviting hand gesture, while their bodies emitted glints. A silver and a golden barrier spread out, sheltering the inside from every external presence. This was naturally to prevent the spiritual energy from the Legendary Equipment to leak out. One of the elderly men told them, You can start your examination. The total time for these two items cannot exceed half an hour. Long Haochen gave Lin Xin a meaningful nce, and the two of them headed in front of the two cases, opening them slowly. The cases were very heavy, apparently entirely made of gold. When seeing these two cases before, Long Haochen understood that these two pieces of Legendary Equipment were probably weapons. When Long Haochens case was opened, a rich water vapor was released, as a water blue staff appeared before their eyes. This staff wasnt long, only 1.2 meters approximately, and was covered entirely in crystallic blue. The material it was made of couldnt be discerned, and the staff gave off soft and sleek vibes. From its bottom end to its sharp peak, it was covered byrge blue snowkes, giving off a cold aura. The staff was shaped in a sinct and fluent design, giving off a noble and pristine feeling. Long Haochen carefully recovered the staff, immediately sensing an extremely cold breath spread out from the staff to his body. More extraordinarily, the blue color released by the staff dissipated upon his touch, turning into vapor, and exposed its pure white body. So the blue color from before was actually water essence close to a solidified state? That was no wonder from a piece of Legendary Tier Equipment. This staff is called Prideful Ice and Snow. It has only two abilities: one is called Ice Concentration, and the other one Icy Pride. Ice Concentration can be used by a water mage to strengthen his ice, and Icy Pride is a ability carrying exploding capabilities, enabling any water ability to detone through its effects. It will strengthen the power of all abilities as a whole. Simply said, if an Ice Cone pierces through an enemy before being blown by Icy Pride, the results will be as you can well imagine. The power of this ability will depend on the users strength, and this staff requires a mage of the water element to be used. His internal spiritual energy must be above 8,000 units, and the selling price is 250,000 contribution points. The elder standing to the side gave a little introduction of this legendary staff. After this, the second elder continued, These Wings of Fire Dragon contain the bone marrow of an ancient Fire Dragon as its core, which is supplemented by expansive resources, before adding the soul of the Fire Dragon as its engine, to give birth to such a legendary treasure. Fitting to fire warriors and mages, it gives a hundred percent boost to the gathering speed of fire essence and a hundred percent boost to the flight speed with the users spiritual wings. The supplementary ability it carries is called Fire Dragon Guard, and can be used three times a day. The requirement for use is an internal spiritual energy of 8,000 units and its selling price is 320,000 contribution points. These two pieces of legendary equipment included one of the water and one of the fire element. Lin Xins luck was undoubtedly very good. The Wings of Fire Dragon gave two boosts and an ability, and thus could be considered to be a rather powerful piece of Legendary Tier Equipment. Two mini-wings were being held in Lin Xins hands, who asked the nearby old man with some doubts, Senior, how is this item used? That elder replied, When pressed against the back, the users internal spiritual energy will be linked to the item, gaining its boost. However, although you are a fire mage, does your internal spiritual energy actually reach 8,000 units? Lin Xin shook his head helplessly, My internal spiritual energy is now at 5,000 units. It looks that I wont be able to use this good thing for a little while. Boss, whats to be done? Hisst question was directed at Long Haochen. Long Haochen gave a calm smile, I want these two items. What? Those two elders were both startled, exchanging a nce with each other and letting out expressions of disbelief. Long Haochen continued, If the other two pieces of Legendary Equipment havent been purchased yet by the Demon Hunters examining them, we are willing to examine them as well. Lin Xin, pay the contribution points for these two pieces of Legendary Equipment to these two seniors. Lin Xin gave a dumbstruck look to Long Haochen, Boss, no need to be so hasty to use up 570,000 contribution points! This is more than half of our savings. And furthermore, we dont need an ice staff for our team. Long Haochen showed a slight smile, Just do as I say and youll see. In the team, his reputation had been already established through merits, and Lin Xin believedpletely in him. Resisting the urge of showing his affected feelings with difficulty, he paid the price for the two pieces of equipment to the two elders. These two elders were stunned. One reason was because of their age and the other because of their overwhelming wealth. Even to veteranmander Demon Hunt Squads, taking out over 500,000 contribution points wouldnt be an easy thing! In fact, killing a demon of the sixth step would often give at most one or two thousand contribution points. How could 500,000 contribution points be gathered so easily and then spent like that? Long Haochen instructed Lin Xin, Try out whether you can use those Wings of Fire Dragon. Lin Xin asked with doubt, Isnt there a requirement to have over 8,000 units of spiritual energy to do that? Long Haochen replied, Have you forgotten about your Heart of Fire? Your mes are already different from ordinary mages. It should somewhat lower the requirement for some equipment. Just give it a try. If it doesnt work out, well retry after increasing your strength. Youre right! I didnt think of that! Lin Xins eyes were lit up, and as he said that, a faint golden red luster was released as the mini wings were easily absorbed into his back, blending with his spiritual energy. Pop. Blue mes ignited from Lin Xins body, and instantly, the temperature in the room shot up at an astounding speed. These two elders were astonished. Exchanging nces with each other, they couldnt help but exim in admiration, naturally sensing the temperature from this fire. Light dragon cries came out from the Wings of Fire Dragon, while the blue mes were poured inside frantically. Immediately, the original golden red Wings of Fire Dragon gradually gained a deep blue gloss. During this transformation, it seemed to gain some melted features. Lin Xin lightly grasped the Wings of Fire Dragon in his hand, transferring his spiritual energy with full force for several minutes until those Wings of Dragon Fire suddenly gained greatly in brilliance. The dark blue fire on its peak suddenly vanished after that, and seemingly affected by the new equipment, Lin Xin spread the spiritual wings of blue fire on his back, letting the Wings of Fire Dragon dissolve into them. Suddenly, Lin Xins spiritual wings size at least doubled, and they suddenly looked a lot more solid. Indistinctly, ayer of dragon scales densely covered his spiritual wings, and the dark blue dual wings yet again gained another trendy feature. The vigoring out from him changed at once, faintly gaining the might of a dragon, and the mes of Heart of mes gained again in substance. Very good! Lin Xin happily hummed, Thats as expected from a good item costing 320,000 contribution points. Even when I dont cultivate, my spiritual energy seems to increase even faster than in my past times of cultivation. Thats so pleasurable, really so pleasurable! Seeing him lose himself pleased in this joy, Long Haochen said with a smile, Okay, retract your spiritual wings now. We should go now. Perhaps there will be some good things for the others. Saying that, he returned the Pride of Ice and Snow to its case, and collected it back into the Tower of Eternity, before emphasising their desire to buy Legendary Tier Equipment to the two elders. Finally, they returned to the third floor of the transaction center. Chapter 370 - Twelfth Holy Guard (I)

Chapter 370: Twelfth Holy Guard (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Coming out from the rear of the counter, Long Haochens group looked very calm, to the point that it couldnt be said whether they gained something good or not. Although the Demon Hunters outside were very curious, no one approached to ask. These were the rules: no one could ask openly about others secrets. Furthermore, thesemander grade Demon Hunt Squads were actually even more curious about the ages of Long Haochens group of three. After all, they looked far too young. Generally speaking, it was an ordinary thing to see Demon Hunters rise to themander grade at thirty years of age. However, this group didnt look close to thirty years at all and should be actually far from reaching that age. Boss, why did we buy those two pieces of Legendary Equipment? Lin Xin asked, whispering into Long Haochens ear in a low voice. The excited look on his face had already disappeared, being reced by a look of worry. Two pieces of Legendary Tier Equipment had cost them 570,000 contribution points, and Lin Xin had spent 320,000 contribution points on himself alone. In spite of that, Long Haochen had said just before that Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu were to be prioritized. Long Haochen replied, Havent you noticed already? Legendary Equipment cant be purchased that easily. We cant just make the equipment of our attribute appear at will. I have looked in some shops: Legendary Equipment is in very high demand. Its actually possible that except at the transaction center, no one else has any for sale. This way, a change of n was necessary for us, and the best would be to buy what we can first, and then give it to whoever needs it. Contribution points are just a number, but equipment is more dependable. Lin Xin appeared puzzled over that, But, what about that Pride of Ice and Snow? We have no one able to use it On a side, Caier suddenly chided in a low voice, You are intelligent in normal times, but why are you acting so dumb now? Just because they are unwilling to spend 10,000 contribution points as inspection fee, the Demon Hunters wanting to buy dont know what pieces of Legendary Tier Equipment are avable at the counter. What we bought was of no use to us, but dont tell me no other Demon Hunter can use it? Youll just have to set up a vendors booth to exchange this staff for something we need and thats it. If needed, you just have to add some contribution points topensate, and this way, we will at least get the opportunity to acquire some Legendary Equipment. Thats right! Lin Xin suddenly realized in a sh, pping his own forehead. With augh and a turn, he went for a run, impatiently setting up a vendors booth. Just as Long Haochen predicted it, the others didnt find Legendary Equipment that matched them on the third floor of the transaction center, and even Lin Xins operation wasnt smooth. They naturally wanted to exchange the Pride of Snow and Ice for spatial or light elemental attribute equipment, but equipment for the spatial attribute was extremely rare, while equipment of the light attribute was the most needed by people. The people paying attention to the Pride of Ice and Snow werent few, but no one was able to make a satisfying deal. However, as a whole they got some good things out of this trip. At least, Lin Xins strength was enhanced one step further. Now with his acquired Spiritual Stove of Phoenix of Blue mes and his Fire Crystal Staff carrying fire Curse, Lin Xins utility for the team only kept growing. After gaining the Wings of Fire Dragon, his strength increased, which was a good boost for the team. Having still gotten nothing until the evening, everyone returned to the vi. After having dinner, Lin Xin and Sima Xian slipped away. Lin Xin naturally nned on sending Ye Weiyang the dragon crystal, and Sima Xian proimed his glorified desire to ensure his safety, while his true aim was naturally In the bedroom, Caier and Long Haochen were seated in front of each other. Seeing Long Haochens pondering look, Caier asked, Are you still worried about the equipment? Long Haochen rxed his brows, replying with a smile, Yes! I didnt think that we would actually be unable to exchange the contribution points for good equipment. Caier shook her head, Actually, you dont need to think like that. Oh? Long Haochen revealed an inquiring look. Caier replied, Dont you think you are too hasty for instant benefits? Ever since our Demon Hunt Squad was established, we have experienced quite a few dangerous and painful situations, but our growth truly reaches the point of leaving anyone speechless. In one short year, we went up from the soldier grade to themander grade. Actually, our current need is not to keep raising our strength at such high speed. Perhaps our cultivation is still stable, but everyone is truly getting too cavalier. Hearing her words, Long Haochens pondering look immediately eased away, and he replied with a nod, You are right, please go on. Caier replied, In our current state, everyone has at least one piece of Glorious Tier Equipment, and quite a few contribution points left. Of course, the best scenario would be to find Legendary Equipment for every one of us, but given our current strength, we may not be able to immediately use the powerful equipment. Of course, exchanging contribution points for fighting strength is the best, but its not the only way. In our current state, we still have many ways to get stronger. I believe that currently our most urgent need is to raise our strength to be in a more stable situation. As for the exchanges to gain Legendary Equipment, its totally okay to wait until we reach the seventh step to look for it. I asked Grandpa Ying, and he told me that in amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, a team possessing a piece of Legendary Tier Equipment is already pretty good. But what about us? Lin Xins new item aside, you have the Aria of the Goddess of Light, I have the Dagger of Samsara, Sima is about to get a piece of Legendary Tier Equipment from enhancing the Energetic Ball of Light, and Yuanyuans Gigantic Divine Soul Shield advanced to this level without doubt from getting another Spatial Crystal. That are already five pieces of Legendary Tier Equipment! And all of us have spiritual stoves. I daresay that with our team formed of six people with fused spiritual stoves, if there were to be apetition between allmander grade Demon Hunt Squads, we would probably be the final victors. Today, you actually defeated a Temple Knight of the seventh step by yourself. In the whole battle, Han Yu didnt even have to do anything. By saying this much, I wanted to tell you that our current strength is already great enough. For this reason, you need not to worry so much about raising everyones strength. Long Haochen nodded in response, Then, what do you think we should do next. Caier replied, We should proceed ording to your original n. We can keep looking for Legendary Equipment, letting Lin Xin set his vendors stall for half an hour a day will be enough. A piece of equipment of the Legendary Tier like the Pride of Ice and Snow will surely catch the public attention. As long as he keepsing at fixed hours every day, someone desirous for exchange will appear sooner orter. We can also start to make use of the few remaining dragon crystals on our side, to start enhancing everyones external spiritual energy while having everyone cultivate spiritual energy. We should actually wait a bit before entering the Tower of Eternity. As long as we focus on cultivating internal spiritual energy, we can get rid of our reckless attitude and be more steady step by step. We will need only a short amount of time to recuperate like this. In the meantime, we can take out some contribution points to get the abilities we all need. After reaching the sixth step, we will need some powerful secret techniques to strengthen ourselves. This is another way to raise our fighting strength. And actually, I believe that focusing on abilities is even better than to focus on equipment, because abilities can be used forever. Looking at Caier, Long Haochen showed a smile, Youre right. You should have told me all of this earlier! Caier shook her head lightly, Your decisions and your ns werent mistaken in any way. And moreover, you are the captain of our 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Lets keep our private conversation between ourselves; you dont need to tell them about my help to reach these conclusions. An excellent captain should better have a single voice, even for us Reaching this point, her charming face blushed slightly but she didnt keep speaking further. Long Haochen took Caiers hand, and dered in a quiet tone, You are really my good wife. Can I give you a hug? I dont want to. Caier replied in rm,unching herself to the ground. Ever since the intimate moment between the two of them after the fusion of spiritual stoves in the Illusory Paradise, she appeared a lot more bashful than in the past, actually unwilling to let Long Haochen approach her lightly. Long Haochen scratched his head in helplessness, Dont run away. Dont tell me you think I would force you? Caier giggled, Annoying! Just whos your good wife? How could you already be so perverted at fifteen years of age? Long Haochen smiled in response, I just dont know who insisted on sleeping on the same bed as me. It seemed to me that this person was younger than me. You In the morning. Long Haochen, Caier and theirrades sat in a circle as they were used to, sharing their breakfast. Sima Xian held a huge bowl of rice in his hands, eating his share in a wheeze. Chen Yinger couldnt help but worry for the table, Bald man, pay attention to your image, will you? Lin Xin revealed a mocking smile, Ignore him, hes really depressed now. Long Haochen spoke next, Oh right, what did Miss Weiyang say when you went to offer her a dragon crystal? And whats up with Sima? Lin Xin replied, Miss Ye didnt ept our dragon crystal. She said that you were right: a divine sword isnt something that can be considered over money. Since you could make its light reappear to the world, Miss Ye is already satisfied. She says that if we really want topensate her, we can support her in case she ever needs some help in the future. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows. He would actually have prefered to pay the cost of a dragon crystal over having amitment towards the other side. After a short time of pondering, he gave the reply, Then go back to her today, and tell her that helping her is okay, but this would be limited to me alone, and cannot involve our whole team. Okay. Lin Xin gave his agreement. Long Haochen studied Sima Xian who was eating with great concentration, and gave Lin Xin an inquiring look. Lin Xinughed hard, He has been struck hard. When seeing that pure beauty, she directly told him: I dont like baldies, and I dont like bald priests all the more. Then she left, without giving him a single nce. And now, hes trying to reduce his grief with food. Chen Yingerughed on the side, Sima, you cannot give up just like that, you know!? Chasing after a girl is not so easy you see! However, I just feel that you shouldnt hope for too much when pursuing that pure beauty. Its the beauty and the beast, the contrast is too great, hahaha. Chapter 371 - Twelfth Holy Guard (II)

Chapter 371: Twelfth Holy Guard (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Sima Xian finally raised his head, though some rice grains still stuck to his face, Who said I gave up?! Your bro gets braver the bigger the obstacle. She said she doesnt like baldies? Has-drugs-bro, Im going with you today as well, and with a wig on me this time. And she doesnt like a priest? Then this man will go with his armor. At first, this guy had tried to appear very polite and refined yesterday, intentionallying with a priest gown to apany Lin Xin to the Alliances Great Auction House. Hearing him say that, everyone couldnt help but break out inughter, and Han Yu remarked, Do your best Sima. We will support you whole-heartedly. Just try to forget about that pure beauty as early as you can. Sima Xian wasnt ugly in appearance; on the contrary, he gave a manly and tough look, resolute to the bone and tenacious. His imposing build easily gave a sense of security. Lin Xinughed, I think that you shouldnt wear a wig. Youd better show your true self. Otherwise, if you really manage to seed and she discovers you arent what you seem to be, wont ite back to bite you? Wang Yuanyuan nodded, Has-drugs-bro said it right. Since you are the one chasing the other party, you should show your sincerity. Without sincerity, whats there to talk about? Sima Xian patted his own bald head, giving them a grieved and indignant look, So, chasing after a girl is that hard? But how is it that it seemed so easy for our Captain?! What did you just say? Caier who stayed silent until then slowly raised her head. Hic I didnt say anything. Oh and, Im done eating. Saying that, the bald man tried to escape. Caier turned to look at Long Haochen, So it was easy? Then how about making things a little harder for you in the future? Im also done eating. Saying that, she stood up and returned to their room. Long Haochen just didnt see that at the time she left, a smile adorned her face. Staring dumbfounded at the vanishing silhouette of Caier, Long Haochen gave an innocent look, Why am I unjustly used without having done anything at all? Lin Xinughed in response, Boss, I am not picking on anyone, but Sima Xian just brought vice-captain up against you with hisments. If I were you, I wouldnt bear with this. Long Haochen abruptly stood up, sweeping an indifferent nce towards Lin Xin, I dont need to bear with it. Immediately afterwards, he called out to someone in the same room, Sima Xian, follow me to have some training on close quarters battle. The auxiliary chief of the Temple Alliance, and auxiliary head of the Knight Temple, Saint Knight Chief Han Qian wastely in a very good mood. Ever since a genius such as Long Haochen appeared in the Knight Temple, the matters he had to handle aside, the biggest part of his attention was focused on Long Hoachen as well as his Demon Hunt Squad. When Long Haochens group passed the test smoothly, bing amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Han Qian was indeed worried for some time. Although he was Long Haochens grandteacher, and had a huge influence in the Alliance, Demon Hunt Squads were independent existences, and even Han Qian couldnt easily get involved in the Demon Hunt Squads matters. When Han Qian had a Temple Knight of the seventh step challenge Long Haochen, his goal was simple. He wished for them to fail the test to be amander grade Demon Hunt Squad and keep them from undertaking harder missions. Hadnt the Alliance just given them a million contribution points? Couldnt they behave well and settle down for a while? However, he didnt expect Long Haochen to actually have reached such a level of strength. He managed to defeat a Temple Knight with his own strength. Left helpless, Han Qian couldnt subvert them any further, and right when he had to believe that Long Haochen and his squad would ept another mission and leave Holy City a short timeter, they actually chose to train in seclusion, sealing themselves off in their vi to avoid any external disturbance. Furthermore, this seclusion alreadysted for four months. How could Han Qian not rejoice over these news? These outstanding kids actually didnt let their confidence blind them, and chose to stabilize their strength under these circumstances, consolidating their progress through training behind closed doors. In fact, they could already be said to have the attitude of a powerful Demon Hunt Squad. These youngsters were actually even more level-headed than a lot of veteran Demon Hunt Squads. Thats right, Long Haochens group was already in closed-door training for more than four months, and still remained in seclusion. For the time being, they didnt n on ending their seclusion, and to them, today was an important day. Tower of Eternity. Long Haochen, Caier, Han Yu, Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, and Chen Yinger were lined up in a row. Boss, which one of us will go? Sima Xian asked Long Haochen eagerly. In front of them was the red skeleton that made them go through continuous battles, training and tempering their strength. It was precisely with this skeleton powerhouse that they continuously crossed swords, giving everyone a chance to master ancient battle techniques. But today, they decided to pass all the trials of the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. Over the past four months, following Caiers warning, Long Haochen decided to prioritize everyones cultivation of internal spiritual energy. Calming down their scatterbrains, they got used to the changes in their strength upon reaching the sixth step. Their days went by, training their newly obtained abilities, searching for Legendary Equipment to buy, and using the Devil Dragon Crystals with precious drug ingredients to let them nourish their bodies. The Devil Dragon Crystals were of even greater utility than they imagined. By the means of some rare ingredients getting rid of impurities along with the darkness properties, they gained extremely good results at every bath. Be it in strength, toughness, or attack power, they progressed in all regards. However, after every use, the volume of the magical crystal shrank, until theypletely disappeared. In a bit more than four months, they had already used up three Devil Dragon Crystals, and everyone felt that any further gain in external spiritual energy now amounted next to nothing. After that they stopped bathing with them. However, this external spiritual energy wasnt gained for free. It was with the help of assistive medicine, which had cost them close to four millions gold coins and 150,000 contribution points. They had obtained another two pieces of Legendary Tier Equipment. As they wished, they had bought a Legendary Tier sword for Han Yu and an essory called Ne of Prayers for Chen Yinger. The sword of the Legendary Tier was exchanged for the Pride of Ice and Snow, as well as 100,000 contribution points. Then, in addition to the Ne of Prayers, Long Haochen bought another sword at the Glorious Tier and some secret techniques. Now the total amount of contribution points of the team amounted to only 50,000. So many hundreds of thousands of contribution points were used just so extravagantly. Over more than four months, they could be said to have used up contribution points without inhibitions, so it was natural that their reserves were now used up. I will be the one going. This skeleton senior taught us what fiery encroachment is, so I wish to be able to truly defeat him in a one versus one, to show that his steadypany wasnt for nothing. Long Haochen said in a serious tone. No one objected, and after separating from each other, they made sufficient space for him. With the Glorious Holy Shield in his left hand and the recently acquired sword Rippling Light in his right hand, Long Haochen walked inrge strides towards that imposing red skeleton. The two sides closed the distance quickly. On Long Haochens back, with a glint of golden light, his four wings unfolded. When he entered the range of twenty meters from the red skeleton, mes twinkled in the eyes of the red skeleton. Its three meters tall body immediately produced a spurt of mes aimed straight at Long Haochen. Long Haochen didnt step back. Abruptly speeding up he aimed to sh against the red skeleton, but didnt use any dashing technique. The distance was cut down, and when it was five meters, the red skeleton suddenly did a crouching motion, dexterously aiming the massive bone de to cut Long Haochens neck. Long Haochen already crossed swords with him innumerable times, and thus naturally knew what followed the red skeletons crouching motion. His charge didnt slow down; only his footsteps appeared lighter and slower, while being a lot more dexterous. Abruptly bending his arms back, he shed through the de of the red skeleton. The red skeleton put his power into his two legs, suddenly moving about with a half turn. Meanwhile, the shield in his left hand was swept toward Long Haochen in an earth-shattering motion. To conform with the skeletons huge size, his shield was also extremely broad, giving Long Haochen an unavoidable resistance. Of course, Long Haochen could rely on his spiritual wings for flight, but he didnt do that. In the Tower of Eternity, the altitude was restricted. And if he tried to fly forcefully, avoiding the effect of Forbidden Sky would prove to be hard. Againstmonsense, Long Haochen who seemed to be unable to avoid the attack, suddenly did an unexpected movement: he started to crawl. Precisely, in the instant the shield of the red skeleton was swept horizontally, he actually crawled on the ground in response. That immense shield was swept above his back, almost making contact with it. A Shield Back-charge was aimed at the ground, causing the crawling Long Haochen to instantly shoot up, letting his Rippling Light blossom with a myriad of brilliant rays. Against the red skeleton that temporarily lost the protection of his shield, he used a Demon Wiping sh. It could be said that Long Haochens response was quite imaginative. Along with the increase of his external spiritual energy, his flexibility increased incredibly, permitting him to do a lot of movements he was previously unable to do. The red skeleton didnt panic because of Long Haochens sneak attack. The immense bone de instantly did a chopping motion, actuallyunching an Asura Strike. Exactly, he used Asura Strike with a single hand, and even with the bacsh of his shield still affecting him. After crossing swords with the red skeleton for so many times, Long Haochen and his group had painfully learned about the fact that in battle, no movement was superfluous. However, this red skeleton clearly did a miscalction. The myriads of light rays were suddenly condensed to another direction, aiming at the edge of the bone de. With a crispy _Ding_ sound, the red skeleton fell back in spite of his massive build. As for the shield in his left hand, it couldnt be used as a result of his previous action. This time, Long Haochen showed his ability to counterattack from a passively defensive state. Chapter 372 - Twelfth Holy Guard (III)

Chapter 372: Twelfth Holy Guard (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales With his left foot stepping on the ground, Long Haochen relied on the force from his own attack to rush forward, making his sword Rippling Light instantly turn dazzling white. Following the de, an edge of white light burst out, aiming to strike at the red skeleton. The white color covering the sword was of course a result from Holy Sword, but that white edge of light was a particr attack in the state of Holy Sword, called Holy Flower. Even the red skeleton didnt dare meet the attack from Holy Flower head-on. Left helpless, he could only use his shield for his protection. With a loud sound, Holy Flower pushed him back with its powerful force. And at that time, Long Haochen had already closed in. The Holy Glorious Shield vanished, and Long Haochen only had the sword Rippling Light glinting with Holy Sword in his hands. An Asura Strike wasunched. Right in that instant, Long Haochen seemed to have entered an extraordinary state, emitting an iparable sword intent. This simple Asura Strike gave off a feeling of unity between the sword and its master, which was represented by a five metersrge white halo spreading out from his body. Because of Long Haochens fastbination, the red skeleton was unable to counterattack. Instead, he used his shield defensively, just like before. At the same time, his body was inclined slightly, in an attempt to counterattack immediately after blocking this blow. However, the power in Long Haochens attack was not to be underestimated. Right at that instant, it rose to the peak of its power, and Long Haochen gave off the impression of being able to ovee anything. This impression resulted directly from the sword intent. It was based on an understanding Long Haochen obtained little by little from the Aria of the Goddess of light. The reason why he didnt use his sword intent directly against him was just to avoid damaging the body of the red skeleton. _Bang!_ His shield broken in fragments, the red skeleton was sent flying by this blow, and because his body was inclined towards Long Haochen at the time of the attack, he was actually in a semi-inclined posture as he was hurled in the air. The four wings on Long Haochens back eventually pped, and a lightning-like golden sh covered the ceiling. Launching a kick against the red skeleton, he aimed Rippling Light against the bone de held in the right hand of the red skeleton, breaking it into pieces. Afterpleting these two movements in a split second, Long Haochen turned back and smashed his right elbow against the throat of the red skeleton. This attack waspleted in a sh, and in the next instant, the man and the skeleton parted with each other. The red skeleton was violently flung ten meters back, and hit the ground hard, the parts of his bone de scattered on the ground. Seeing this brilliant battle, everyone from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad couldnt help but show fervent looks. They finally won. After close to a year, they finally won against this powerful red skeleton. And this was in a one against one duel, where Long Haochen didnt use the support from Yating or Haoyue. He did this to show his respect towards this opponent. _Boo_ The red skeleton let out a sort of moan, crawling on the ground with the use of his left hand. Long Haochen regained the Glorious Holy Shield from the Eternal Melody, and made preparations to continue the battle. However, the red skeleton didnt continue his offense, but watcHed Long Haochen attentively. Thissted for more than ten seconds, before he slowly gave a nod. He actually knelt down in front of Long Haochen, clearly showing his obeisance with this movement. This? Long Haochen looked at him with a start, Elder, there is no need to act like that. Master, the Twelfth Holy Guard reports to you. A muffled and cold voice was hearding from the red skeleton, In any world outside the Tower of Eternity, whoever wants to harm you will have to walk over my smashed bones for that. After saying these words, the red skeleton abruptly turned into a red sh of light flying in Long Haochens direction. In the air, his body became smaller and smaller. When he arrived before Long Haochen, his bodys shape already became that of a small red me. Instantly, he disappeared into the Eternal Melody. Long Haochen felt a warm feeling on his chest. Pulling up his garment, he gave a look to the Eternal Melody, only to see that on the gem above the white skull shaped pendant a small red fire pulsed. _Twelfth Holy Guard?_ Looking at the snapped arms, bone de and shield disappearing into the ground, Long Haochen couldnt help but look sluggish. Boss, what happened? Was it an ability or an increase of spiritual energy? Sima Xian asked eagerly. They all got to see that red light, but didnt hear the voice of the Twelfth Holy Guard, thus believing that everything was going on, the same way as before. Long Haochen shook his head, giving a bitter smile, Im afraid that I am being forced to be a necromancer. After repeating the words of the Twelfth Holy Guard, he continued, If my guess is correct, I should have gotten the ability to summon that red skeleton as guard. Wait a bit, Ill give it a try. After saying this, Long Haochen slowly closed his eyes, before a red glint urred and the tall red skeleton calling himself Twelfth Holy Guard appeared before Long Haochen, its previously snapped arm and broken shield were back to normal. He emitted a glowing and wild aura. When Long Haochen closed his eyes, he learned that his own soul seemed to have gained connection with this red skeleton. He was nowpletely capable of giving him orders during battle. And atop of that, the skeleton had a self-awareness of his own, and the battle instincts their group already got to experience. Everyone looked at each other, but no one seemed able to determine whether this was a good or a bad thing. The cmity brought to the continent by the necromancers was something they were all aware of, and Long Haochen was moreover an outstanding knight privileged as the Scion of Light. If he were to really be a necromancer, things would be really messy and even the Temple Alliance would definitely not ept it. And furthermore, given that this Twelfth Holy Guard entered the Eternal Melody on his own, would it even be possible to drive him out of it? In the end, Long Haochen didnt have absolute control over this pendant. Haochen. Caier took Long Haochens hand. Actually, I think that you are really overthinking this. In this world, there is nothing that can be categorized as absolutely good or evil. Necromancers can actually be light attribute users, so what could be impossible? The fact that you obtained this strength doesnt mean you definitely have to use it. And in addition, this red skeleton detaining the soul of a powerhouse doesnt have any of the bearings of an undead creature.When youll summon it, it will only be to fight against demons. What is there to worry about if you just use it to kill demon aggressors? Han Yu nodded, Vice-captain is right. Although this Tower of Eternity is the dwelling ce of the Holy Necromancer Elux, he doesnt have any enmity towards you or us. On the contrary, it is because of his help that our strength keeps growing. As long as we arent disturbed by our own acts, the worlds view doesnt matter. Moreover, there will be no problem at all about concealing his existence. Sima Xian responded, Thats right! Over seventy percent of the Demon Hunt Squads die in the demon territory. Maybe we wille to die there someday, too. Boss, dont overthink this. Just ept it. Lets go now, we should keep advancing and have a look to see what else there is on this first floor. After getting the support from hisrades, Long Haochens face eased up. Actually, after all this time, he had already realized all this, but didnt want for the harmony of the team to be disturbed by the matter. He was still underestimating the trust the others had in him: no one would actually question his intentions. Connecting his mental force with the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen transmitted his thoughts and the Twelfth Holy Guard was again concealed as a red light. It was as if he was pulled in by the Eternal Melody. Keep our battle formation and advance. Long Haochen shouted, showing the initiative by taking out the Glorious Holy Shield and the Rippling Light while cing himself at the front. The additional ability carried by the Rippling Light was extremely powerful. Whenunching an attack, it would make it carry illusory ripples of spiritual energy,unching a second additional attack with roughly a third of the original attacks strength. In other words, when using the attack Holy Sword, at the same time, it wouldunch a second attack with a third of the Holy Swords strength. This was also the main reason that made the Twelfth Holy Guard unable to block Long Haochens attack. Of course, Long Haochen also understood that if the Twelfth Holy Guard had a set of equipment on par with his own, achieving victory against him wouldnt possibly be that easy. After all, in terms of battle techniques, Long Haochen still had things to learn from him. This time, they advanced twenty more meters before the Tower of Eternity showed some reaction. And now, they seemed to be drawing closer and closer to the end of the first floor. Long Haochen vaguely saw a huge sculpture standing at the end of the first floor. A sparkling blue light appeared out of nowhere and from it, a skeleton that seemed no different from the Twelfth Holy Guard slowly appeared. An ice-blue mass of light seemed to stream into it, but it actually didnt expand to the size of the Twelfth Holy Guard, only reaching a height of a meter and eight centimeters. His whole body became deep blue, with two blue soulfires pulsing in his eyes. In his right hand, a long staff appeared quietly. A mage type skeleton! Be careful everyone. Long Haochen gave a shout, dashing like a dart in the direction of that blue skeleton. It took him a mere instant to reach his peak speed. He had the premonition that this had to be thest test of the first floor. After passing it, they would have conquered the whole first floor of the Tower of Eternity. A hot pure golden me surrounded Long Haochens body, illuminating the whole Tower of Eternity. This was not only intended as a means to resist against an opponent of the ice element, but also to light up the surroundings for hisrades, so that everyone could find it easier to respond to the attacks from that blue skeleton. The blue skeleton and the red skeleton of the sixth test had a significant difference in demeanor, which was that the former didnt make the slightest sound after the ignition of his soulfire. He appeared iparably calm. Against Long Haochens charge, his body slided sideways as if gliding on ice, meanwhile, with a shake of the staff in his hand, a fog of ice headed in Long Haochens direction. Hehe, now should be the time for this bro to show his strength. said Lin Xin with a voice filled with excitement. Suddenly, ayer of blue fire appeared in front of Long Haochen. Chapter 373 - Second Floor of the Tower of Eternity (I)

Chapter 373: Second Floor of the Tower of Eternity (I)

At the time the fog of ice casted by the blue skeleton came in contact with Long Haochens body, he simply felt a breeze covering his whole body, which suppressed his sunlight fire. Additionally, his movements clearly became slower, and an ice cold feeling filled his mind, as if making his soul sluggish from the cold. However, this feeling onlysted for an instant until Lin Xins Heart of mes managed to block it. When the fog of ice touched the mes, with a puffing sound, the fire from the Heart of mes and the fog of ice started to cancel each other out. Without a doubt, that skeleton wasnt using ordinary ice, but Lin Xins Heart of mes didnt use ordinary fire either. Both sides counteracted each other and Lin Xins fire actually held an advantage. But of course, this was because the effects of Long Haochens sunlight fire had already weakened the attack from the skeleton to some extent. The me in the eyes of the blue skeleton pulsed slightly, and the staff in his hand moved in a mysterious trajectory. As he acted that way, he chanted some unknown incantation, and a sparkling and translucent ice crystal emerged from his staff, floating above him. This ice crystal didnt really appear fast, but Long Haochen felt some change on the scenery before his eyes, before all the surroundings turned ice blue. From the others point of view, Long Haochens body abruptly came to a stop before immediately being immersed by arge ice crystal What strong magic! At that time, the other members of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad naturally didnt keep waiting, andunched their attacks against that blue skeleton. The fire from Lin Xin Heart of mes shed against that immense ice crystal, immediately attempting to melt it, while Caier, Wang Yuanyuan, and Sima Xian, as well as Han Yu simultaneously dashed towards the blue skeleton. Their movements were filled with tacit understanding. The four of them had dashed forward and separated to encircle the skeleton, and although they were not able to attack from all four directions, their coordinated attack made that blue skeleton totally unable to resist the encirclement. Chen Yinger was seated on the ground, both her hands on her crystal ball as she chanted a slow incantation. Two bizarre radiances of gold and a dark color quietly emerged, revolving around her like fireballs. The fluctuation of spiritual energy surrounding Chen Yingers body produced a white thread from the space between her eyebrows, radiating a white light. Facing thisbined assault, that blue skeleton actually didnt retreat, and suddenly pointed his staff to the ground. Bang. With a violent explosion, the immense crystal that had frozen Long Haochen split, producing a brutal explosive force hurling innumerable ice shards into all directions. These fragments of ice were not only directed at them all, but also stopped everyone in their track. Even given their current cultivation, they were unable to resist. Caiers dark golden dagger could be seen, changing into many sparks of light in the air. At every thrust, a ball of ice would be destroyed, yet her look was concentrated on Long Haochen. It was not only her: Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian and Han Yu also did the same. Seeing the strong explosive power of this ice, was Long Haochen alright? Nothing seemed wrong with Long Haochen. At least, he didnt seem harmed on the surface. It was just that his golden red mes and the fire from Lin Xins Heart of mes had disappearedpletely. His expression looked pale, and his body was distinctly covered with ice. An intense cold air covered the surroundings densely. It could be clearly seen that everyone felt their whole bodies numbing. In fact, their external spiritual energy had increased by arge degree after being soaked in the liquid using the dragon crystals as main ingredient. Even so, their external spiritual energy that now exceeded 3,000 units didnt stop their hands from going stiff. Seventh step! Without a doubt, this was the level of cultivation this blue skeleton reached. And furthermore, its control over magic was the same as the battle skills of the red skeleton from the ancient times, something one could only describe as perfect. A resonant phoenix cry rang right at that instant, and the red-hot fire from the Heart of messhed out instantly, rapidly counteracting the coldness in the air. Meanwhile, the blue fire phoenix soared in the sky, going past everyone to throw itself at that blue skeleton. Lin Xin was already unable to give any more consideration about the bacsh. Because of how strong this blue skeleton was, all his mates were affected by him. If he was allowed free reign, it would be very hard for them to pass this trial. The members of the 64th Demon Hunt Squad coordinated perfectly. In Han Yus hands, the golden red legendary sword was lifted, and with a shout, an intense golden red shine covered his whole body. This shine immediately freed his body from the stiffness affecting it. Being covered by a golden red shade, he went straight for that blue skeleton. In a rush, Sima Xian ced himself in front of Long Haochen, using his Energetic Ball of Light, which was finally finished being re-modelled in the previous month, to get in the opponents way. Compared to before, there was no apparent change in the size of the Energetic Ball of Light, but its appearance had changed into a darker golden color, faintly emitting a kind of terrible aura. Originally at the Glorious Tier, the Energetic Ball of Light now easily reached the Legendary Tier, and if not for the increase of external spiritual energy Sima Xian had gained from the dragon crystal, he would currently be unable to use this terrible weapon. With a glint of silver light, Wang Yuanyuan disappeared without a sound, and Caier also vanished instantly. Four people attacking and one staying behind to defend Long Haochen; this was true tacit understanding. In front of the blue fire phoenix, the blue skeleton finally lost his tranquility. His chant appeared more rushed, and his staff pointed to the ground. With three ear-piercing?whoosh?sounds, three immense ice crystals, reaching a diameter of one meter, suddenly dug their way from the ground, intertwining with each other towards the blue fire phoenix. In the meanwhile, an ice blue radiance was spread out from the blue skeleton, forming a blue transparent barrier. Bang. The three thick ice crystals simultaneously smashed to pieces, and the coldness that filled the air disappeared in that instant. Lin Xins blue fire phoenix showed a truly terrible attack power, and furthermore, the intensity of the Heart of mes was stronger than the ice of the blue skeleton. However, the gap between the two was mostly based on their spiritual energy level. The blue fire phoenix couldnt keep pushing forward, and turned back with a muffled phoenix cry, returning to Lin Xins side. With a glint of silver light, the first to attack was Wang Yuanyuan. Her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield was wielded like an axe. Relying on the power of the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate, Wang Yuanyuans attack was instantaneous, shing violently against the barrier protecting that blue skeleton. The spatial crystal obtained from the auction house was refined into two pieces for Wang Yuanyuan to use. Nheless, in her current state, she could only add a supplementary one, otherwise the power would exceed her limits. But even so, the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield directly ascended to the Legendary Tier just from the addition of one spatial crystal. As this shield blow was delivered, an immense and terrifying silver figure arose behind Wang Yuanyuans back. With a violent bang, the blue barrier was smashed to pieces from the impact. Nheless, that blue skeleton kept showing exceptional reactions. In such an unfavorable situation, it suddenly lowered its stance, in the same fashion as a skater, using the force from the barrier to avoid Wang Yuanyuans axe-attack. In the meanwhile, a pure white ice ring suddenly extended, forcefully pushing Wang Yuanyuan back. Han Yu arrived at this time. Fully d in gold red, he appeared to have gotten in an extraordinary state. Aiming a violent cut with the pure golden heavy sword in his hand, he engulfed the blue skeleton like a reddish golden hurricane. Zhii?A sharp whistling sound came out from the blue skeletons mouth, and an ice wall suddenly appeared in front of Han Yu to stop him. However, that ice wall was reduced to fragments in the next instant by Han Yus immense golden red sword. A white ring appeared under Han Yus feet, provoking an instant explosion and sweeping him with an intense frozen airstream. However, when covered in this pure golden color, Han Yu seemed unequalled, actually disregarding all the effects from the frozen airstream on his body and still aiming his sword at that blue skeleton. The blue skeleton finally seemed close to his limits, the soulfire in his eye was fluctuating violently. Waving the magic staff in his hand, it erected a defensive armor around itself. The fact it had great ability in magic didnt necessarily mean that this blue skeleton would be as strong as the red skeleton in close range. Although it had the defense from the ice armor, it still ended up sent flying while its magic staff was cut in half. More terrifyingly, the scarlet radiance shining on Han Yus heavy sword actually gained in viscosity, as the blue skeleton suddenly stopped in its flight backwards. Following next was Han Yus performance time. As the blood red colored heavy sword swirled in the air, at every attack, that blue skeleton would get covered with ayer of imposing red, and it took only three blows to smash his ice armor with a loud bang. Han Yusst strike directly aimed at the shoulder of the blue skeleton, shing it in half. In a state of invisibility, Caier didnt intervene. Since Han Yu managed to deal the fatal blow against the blue skeleton, she naturally had no need to act. Long Haochen gradually returned to his senses. After sustaining the icy effects, only his face still looked pale. The damage from the attack of the blue skeleton was truly terrible. It was fortunate that he had the Holy Fire brought to him by Yating, along with the addition from the sunlight fire and the Heart of mes as well as the Sacred Holy Protection from his Glorious Holy Armor, annihting the greater part of the damage from the explosion. However, even then, it took Long Haochen nearly twenty seconds to expel the chilliness from his whole body. The whole battle didntst a long time, but this victory against the blue skeleton wasnt an easy win at all. In fact, Long Haochens individual strength was enough for him to match a powerhouse of the seventh step in a duel. And it took their whole strength to take out this blue skeleton. If not for the enormous effects Lin Xins blue phoenix had in weakening this blue skeleton, defeating this opponent would have been very hard to them. Chapter 374 - Second Floor of the Tower of Eternity (II)

Chapter 374: Second Floor of the Tower of Eternity (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Just before Chen Yingers chant was cut-off midway, there appeared three Summoning Gates behind her, but they disappeared before being activated as she didntplete her spell. This was the great gain obtained from the fusion between the Scapegoat Spiritual Stove and the Spiritual Stove of Time. Of course, this was an ability that could only be used once a day, and which fortunately had no huge bacsh. To summoners, a triple summoning ability was something goingpletely against nature. Still, the current Chen Yinger was unable to disy its full strength yet due to her special situation. From the smashed parts of the blue skeleton gradually appeared a blue mass of light, and a slightly tapered voice could be heard from it, The Eleventh Holy Guard reports to Master. Then, its two severed halves fluttered along in a wind, transforming into two rays of light heading straight for Long Haochen. As it happened with the Red Skeleton, it fused into the Eternal Melody on Long Haochens chest. The gem above the Eternal Melody now took the shape of a white skull, and beside the traces of red me on the surface of the skull, appeared traces of a blue me. Right at that moment, the Tower of Eternity trembled suddenly, and Long Haochens group of seven clearly felt the quiver of a great earthquake. Everyone quickly gathered, vigntly observing the surrounding changes. Ripples of soft golden color appeared on the Eternal Melody resting on Long Haochens chest. In a golden light, illusory traces of air dispersed, making everything look hazy. This soft and golden color rippled in the air, and everything became distinct to their eyes. Right ahead of Long Haochens group of seven, an immense sculpture appeared. Although it was only a sculpture, the looks of the seven were focused on it, because it emanated an inexhaustible awe-inspiring presence. The sculpture roughly reached ten meters in height, and stoodpletely still. It was d in a vivid and gorgeous ck gown, on which some golden symbols appeared. On top of the gown the sculpture wore arge white cloak and a white hat, which provided a bold contrast of bright and dark with the ck gown. Thebination made the real appearance of the man behind this sculpturepletely indistinct. Its right hand was holding a two meters long magic staff, which was a mixture of ck, white and gold. These three colors entangled with each other. The ck symbolized pure death, while the gold stood for the meaning of purity and holiness, and that white color was seemingly rted with the summoning power used by summoners. Three kinds of metals coiled together, forming this mystical staff. On its top sat arge crystal that seemed to look like the sculpture of a skull. It was entirely white, and looked like an erged version of the Eternal Melody. Looking at this sculpture, everyone quivered. Although it was merely a sculpture, and everyone knew it wasnt a living being, every member of the squad still felt stunned to sense a profound, wise, and awe inspiring aura being released by it. Although Long Haochen never acknowledged himself as the disciple of the Slumbering Cmity Elux, he still gave a knight salute in front of this sculpture. He didnt feel any particr liking towards necromancers, but had no choice but to admire this powerhouse from the ancient times. From the Tower of Eternity alone, one could see how terrible this person had to be, probably standing as an existenceparable to the Demon God Emperor. Congrattions, my child. Did you like the gift I left you forpleting the first set of trials? The twelve holy guards were my twelve guards in the past, all of them chose to take on this duty voluntarily. Unfortunately, human life is in the end limited, so I could only let them continue to exist as departed spirits. This is one of the most precious things I prepared for you. What you faced before was their suppressed strength. If you keep advancing, for every floor you clear, a part of the Holy Guards strength will be restored. Keep going forward, my child, and one day, you will let my twelve holy guards reappear in their full splendor. A pure white pir of light appeared, spraying out from the peak of his staff, and growing in size in front of everyones eyes. Reaching a diameter of three meters, it emitted faint spatial fluctuations. Lin Xin mumbled to himself, This Holy Necromancer is too stingy. We have just cleared all the trials on the first floor, yet didnt gain much rewards. Han Yu chuckled in response, What more do you want as reward? Without the trials on the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, would our spiritual energy have grown so fast? Im afraid that we would still be far from the sixth step. Whats more, we gained skills,bat training, and also obtained two holy guards. Didnt this holy necromancer also say that the holy guards can still have more of their power restored? Just think about it, if the red and the blue skeleton we encountered can regain their spiritual energy, and maybe even more power, how terrifying would that be?! And this is only the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. To us, the chance ofing here is even more valuable than any weapon. After all, with our current cultivation, we still have no way to wield divine weapons in their full splendor, but the Tower of Eternity permits us to keep gaining power without limits, and that counts for all of us. Everyone could see the truth in Han Yus words, and nodded without restraint. Long Haochen said next, Once entering this pir of light, we should reach the second floor. Do you want to keep going forward? Wang Yuanyuan replied, Captain, you make the decision. However, I think that Yinger shouldnt being. She has just consumed her whole spiritual energy, soing along would be too dangerous for her. Long Haochen gave herment some thoughts, and replied, Lets do it like this then. You will all stay here and I will go scout first. With Haoyue here, no matter what I encounter, I can return without dy. Haoyue was nowzily lying on his stomach, since Long Haochen hadnt told him to participate in the previous battle. As they spent more time in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen started to value this ce more and more. If not for the fact that their future operations would very possibly confront them with even more danger, he would actually not have led their group to defeat that blue skeleton here, providing them with the final reward of the first floor. Taking a step forward, Long Haochen stepped into the white holy light. Bathed in that pure and holy light, he found out with surprise that all his spiritual energy that was consumed before was being replenished, and with a white glow of light, he appeared in another ce. After stepping onto the second floor of the Tower of Eternity for the first time, Long Haochen was rmed, because there was nothing below his feet. Before his eyes was a dazzling scene, and at both sides were two pirs arching forward. However, there was no substance under his feet, only illusory clouds and mist. At that time, he was inside the white light. As soon as he stepped out of it, he would officially enter the second floor of the tower. Giving it a try, he stepped forward, treading on those white clouds. But in the next moment, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a shocked cry, because he felt his body falling instantly, as a weightless feeling filled him entirely. With a white sh of light, the surrounding scenery returned to darkness, and a steady feeling reappeared under his feet. However, Long Haochen found out with astonishment that he was back to the ce he left hisrades, in the hall of the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. _Why did this happen?_ Long Haochen had a slight start. Boss, were things dangerous? How is it that you are back so quickly? Sima Xian inquired curiously. Long Haochen slowly shook his head, returning to that white light. In a sh of white light, he returned once again to the second floor of the Tower of Eternity, and came to understand that in this floor, sustaining flight would be necessary. Where the first floor forbade flight, the second floor made it absolutely necessary, since it was impossible to touch the ground. This time, having learned from experience, he extended the four wings on his back, and stepped on the white light. As expected, relying on the flight ability of his Spiritual Wings, he didnt drop down immediately. Flying forward with patience, Long Haochen calmly sensed the surroundings, finding out to his surprise that sinceing to the second floor, the deathly aura suddenly became weaker, and instead, the holy aura strengthened. However, even with his perception, he actually didnt manage to scout a range of more than hundred meters. It seemed that a powerful spiritual blockade was present. Without a doubt, passing through this second level would need him to keep going forward, until being subjected to the trials of the second floor. Faintly, Long Haochen started to understand the circumstances on this second floor, and had a rough guess of what the trial was going to be. His four wings stretched, and with a sh of bright light, Long Haochen called out Yating. After fusing with the Saint Spiritual Stove, Yating wasnt suppressed inside the Tower of Eternity any longer. Unfolding her six wings, she dexterously floated above Long Haochens shoulder. Dont rush forward. I just need you to stay close to support me. Long Haochen murmured to Yating, before continuing his slow advance. One meter, two meters, three meters When advancing ten meters forward, a white fog suddenly rushed him, and suddenly, six figures appeared all around Long Haochen, surrounding him before throwing themselves at him like bolts of lightning. As before, these were skeletons, only looking rtively small while carrying wings on their back. Their pping wings appeared transparent, showing their incredible speed. Right after appearing, they rushed straight towards Long Haochen in a sh of white light. Long Haochen who had been extremely vignt, didnt panic in front of this sudden ambush. He simply used his shield in a sh. Then, a golden barrier of light abruptly enveloped him from all around. Guardian Knight skill of the sixth step, Shield Wall. The ability Shield Wall would defend the user from all angles. Although it was not useable inbination with Divine Obstruction, its defensive power was also immense. Chapter 375 - Second Floor of the Tower of Eternity (III)

Chapter 375: Second Floor of the Tower of Eternity (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales With a strident exploding sound, the six figures glowing in white withdrew just as fast as they came. And they followed a concerted rhythm, as if forming a single entity, rendering Long Haochens swings fruitless. Long Haochens attacks, originally extremely natural and unforced on the ground, were clearly limited in the air. However, he still looked very excited. This was because he clearly understood that he and hisradescked training in aerialbat. Undoubtedly, the Tower of Eternity would give them an opportunity to change that. Of course, Long Haochens difort in the air was an impediment, but it wasnt bad enough to make this first trial unfeasible for him. Three white glows shot out from Yatings body, shaped like eyes, andnded on three of the white skeletons. Immediately, a powerful force pulled them in Long Haochens direction. It was quite baffling that while Yating was the one using the power of the Saint Spiritual Stove, the effect was the same as when Long Haochen himself was the one using it. The enemies would always get attracted or pulled towards Long Haochen. Pulled by the Saint Spiritual Stove, these white skeletons naturally lost their greatest asset, their agility and speed. In front of the powerful force of Ripples of Light, it took Long Haochen less than five seconds to reduce them to pieces. The three other flying skeletons were struck by Long Haochen in the same way, and like this the first trial on the second floor was passed. However, Long Haochen felt at a loss that killing these skeletons didnt gain him any of the high purity spiritual energy nor any technique they gained before. It looked that after reaching this point, there would only be pure trials waiting for them. Long Haochen didntin though. Anyway, ten units of pure spiritual energy would not be of much use in his current state. After reaching the sixth step of cultivation, Long Haochen had developed his spiritual cavities, and this was followed by his awakening as a gods chosen one, Yatings evolution, and the fusion of spiritual stoves. All of this didnt only increase his strength as a whole, but also his assimting ability of the light essence. As a gods chosen one, Long Haochen could say without reservation that he became the person with the highest affinity to the light element in the whole world. During the past four months, his internal spiritual energy had astonishingly increased by more than a thousand units, now reaching a total of 8,500 units, getting closer and closer to the seventh step. Other than him, the progression speed of hisrades internal spiritual energy wasnt bad either. But the gap separating him from the rest was bingrger andrger. Even Caier was the same, after all, she had yet to have her awakening as a gods chosen one. After passing through the first trial, Long Haochen didnt continue to advance, but withdrew to the first floor, where he told the others about his encounters in detail. With everyone gaining their spiritual wings by breaking through to the sixth step, training their aerialbat ability also became a pressing matter. Having such a rare training tform, they would naturally not let this opportunity slip. With every bit of strength they gained, their survivability during missions would also increase. After pondering carefully, Long Haochen came to a decision. While advancing to the tests on the second floor, everyone aside from Chen Yinger would have to pass every test with their own power, and without the use of the abilities from any spiritual stove or mount. As for Chen Yinger, the target of her training would be of course to toughen her contracted beast Mcdull. C It was arge hall filled with darkness, covering at least a square kilometer. At an altitude of over ten meters, it was surrounded with walls on all eight sides. Inside the hall were dark light rays, and on each of the rooms eight sides a purple me was pulsing, providing this mysterious hall with some lighting and an extremely rich aura of darkness. Right in the center of this dark hall stood a man. With ck hair spreading on his back, his eyes shone with a blood-red colored brilliance. Advancing,unching a punch. Terrible fluctuations of darkness spiritual energy instantly surged out from him, and with every punch of that person, terrible exploding sounds would ripple in the air. This hall was made of some unknown material, allowing him to wreak such havoc, yet staying unmoved and unaffected. With every explosion of the spiritual energy he unleashed came a sh of purple light, barely enlightening his appearance. A handsome face with a grave and stern expression, along with a bare upper body which could be seen. With each attack of his, his whole body would be covered with ayer of dark purple scales. And the bloodlust in his eyes was frighteningly intense. Right when his grandeur seemed to reached its supreme peak, a figure soundlessly appeared behind him. This figure was tall and slender, the body shrouded in a ck gown, and long ck hair rested on both of its shoulders. Its appearance was shaded and unclear. Seemingly sensing the sudden menace on his back, the bare-chested man suddenly turned around,unching his fist at the figure that suddenly appeared in the dark. This punch was concentrated with his powerful strength at peak state, reaching a terrifying level of burst power. The whole dark hall was lit up because of this punch, and all the spiritual energy he used in his previous attacks seemed to have gathered at once in this area,pressing the space with distortions that seemed almost able to destroy this whole hall. However, the figure that appeared so suddenly didnt move in response to such a terrible punch. The only reaction from the other side was to lift one white finger and point it at that tyrannical fist. _Pop_ Time seemed to freeze right then, without any sound. That slender-looking finger actually didnt emit any fluctuations of spiritual energy. Still, the robust bare-chested man was reduced to the same state as a shellunched from a Magic Cannon. Crashing against the distant wall, he let out a dazzling brilliance all around his body. _Pam._ After being pressed up against the wall, his body fell to the ground. The slender-looking person ced his hands behind his back, Forcing too much power. This will only make youck in flexibility, and if you keep this up, youll never reach the defying state. This voice sounded gentle. If some familiar person were to hear it, there would only be two possible results. Either would he or she kowtow on the ground, or be astonished without limits. The man slowly rose from the ground, but didnt stand up. He remained kneeling and lowered his head with respect, Father. Your injuries are already pretty much healed, so why are you still not leaving this ce? What about your all-out struggle for the matter of this marriage? The slender looking man slowly raised his head, letting his long hair scatter and revealed his ultimately handsome face. That was Feng Xiu, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu. And the one kneeling down in front of the wall, with traces of blood running from the corners of his mouth, was actually AhBao, the Devil Dragon prince who ended up seriously wounded from his fierce battle against Long Haochen in the Illusory Paradise. Bowing his head, AhBao replied enthusiastically, I dont have the face to take Yue Ye as my wife. The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu gave the indifferent answer, So youre unable to endure after such a small setback? AhBao lifted his head, looking at his father, But thats not simply a setback. This time, some sessors of demon gods died in the Illusory Paradise, and we finally failed at our main objective. Although esteemed father has absolute authority, this time we caused too big a crisis. Even Huang Shuo was extorted of ten dragon crystals. The me is all on me. I knew how great of a pressure esteemed father had to confront to protect me. I am the sinner of our n. I failed to live up to your expectations, and I. The Demon God Emperor waved his hand, cutting in, Okay, okay, no need to say all this. As one at the top, you cannot bother so much with the benefits and demerits behind every single little thing. Thinking too much will only increase your worries. Why dont you try to use a different reasoning? Like humans would say, no need to get entangled with past matters. This time, your loss was no injustice, and it was mainly a matter of luck. In the whole course of events, you didnt make any mistake. If I were in your stead, I wouldnt have done any better. You were just unfortunate to encounter a gods chosen one, a being that didnt appear for the past ten thousand years, and confronted him right at the instant of his awakening. Even if he were to try hundreds and thousands of times, he wouldnt be able to reproduce that blow. Esteemed father, I am unresigned. I am not ready to ept my defeat against a weak human. Whats with the nonsense of a gods chosen one, I AhBaos two eyes were blood red. In front of others, he would always appear calm, but only when confronting the Demon God Emperor, he would expose his true self. Shut up. Feng Xius voice once again became strict. Even as the sessor of the Demon God Emperor, AhBao felt the anger of his father, and couldnt help but immediately bow to him. He didnt dare utter any more words. The Demon God Emperor coldly continued, If you keep this attitude, you will only lose when facing him the next time, and even more miserably. I cannot possiblye to save you in time every time. Do you know, that this time, when I tore the space to get you back, those annoying Demon God yers took advantage of that to kill three of our nsmen? They were warning me. They are real idiots, and there are other existences like the Demon God yers. Humans are bing harder and harder to handle. As my sessor, if you cannot admit the strength of humans, you are not qualified to seed to the title of emperor. I know that you are not convinced because you believe that this human is a lot weaker than you. However, did you calm down to analyse the true reasons of your loss? Except for the fact that this person is a gods chosen one, which permitted him to use such a powerful blow at deaths door, is there no other reason? AhBao raised his head, looking at his father, Because they got the support of the Illusory Paradise, and his attribute waspatible with the Illusory Paradise. And afterwards, he joined hands with the spokesperson of that goddess of nature to fight against us. The Demon God Emperor asked in a calm voice, Then why is it that he managed to aplish that? AhBao was startled, and couldnte up with an answer. The Demon God Emperor continued with a heavy voice, It is because of intelligence. We demons, often be conceited because of our superior strength, and this is the reason why you were defeated. Its also good that you want to postpone the marriage. You know what you should be doing now, right? Yes. Chapter 376 - Sixteen Slaughter Missions (I)

Chapter 376: Sixteen ughter Missions (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales What? The Saint Knight Head Han Qian looked unable to take it anymore, his face filled with shock. In front of him stood a tall knight, who was respectfully bowing down before him. Han Qiansposure became obviously somewhat cracked, These foolish kids, what are they doing?! And originally, I thought they were mature, training steadily for such a long time. Whatever they do, they are bing overnight celebrities. When did they leave? The tall knight replied, About half an hour ago. Han Qian instructed, Go and bring them back to me, tell them that it is my order. The tall knight had an embarrassed expression, Sir Saint Knight Head, this is no good. Its going against the rules. Demon Hunt Squads are supposed to be independent, and even the Alliance cannot dispatch them as they please. And everything they did was ording to the rules. Han Qian shouted in fury, What bullshit! If something happens to these little guys, the whole Alliance will be in a total crisis. Yes. The tall knight didnt dare vite the order of Han Qian for a second time, and turned back to the outside. Right when he arrived at the exit, Han Qian suddenly stopped him, Come back! Startled, the knight stopped his steps and returned back to Han Qian. Han Qian advanced towards him from behind his desk, pacing back and forth in his broad office, his brows gathered together. After making that round trip for more than a dozen turns, his eyebrows finally smoothed. Letting out a sigh, he talked to himself, This boy and that girl are already sixteen. Since they could stay in seclusion for so long, they should have advanced quite a lot. Little birds cannot forever stay under the protection of their parents, or they wont be true supreme powerhouses. Lets just let them tamper themselves. Long Haochen, you have toe back alive to me no matter what, little brat. Indeed, right before, this knight standing in front of him brought astonishing news. The members of the secluded 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad had suddenly shown themselves at the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower, epting sixteen ughter Missions at once before immediately setting off, and leaving Holy City to go straight to the demon territory. Those were sixteen ughter Missions, and all of them needed one to reach themander grade to take them on! The simplest one required to kill a demon powerhouse of the seventh step and seize the crystal. And among the missions they took, three were directed against powerhouses of the eighth step, and the toughest one demanded to kill thest ranked of the seventy-two demon gods, the Devil Snake Andromalius. Despite being the seventy-second ranked, that was still a demon god! A powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step, and furthermore, in the range of his demon god pir, his strength would match several powerhouses of the eighth step. The mission to kill Andromalius was the hardest among all those at themander grade. This mission was also directed to the King and Emperor Grade Demon Hunt Squads, and in fact, Andromalius wouldnt stay alone in one ce and let himself be killed. As a demon god, he was also in control of arge army of demons. For Long Haochens group to actually dare ept such a mission was simply courting death! In fact, at the peak of the eighth step, ones spiritual energy would get close to 100,000 units. Because the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower was in Holy City, a long journey was necessary for them to return from their missions. Thus, the rules of the Demon Hunt Squads permitted them to ept several missions at once. But it was the first time a situation like this urred, where one squad epted sixteen missions at once. In fact, all missions had an allotted time, and if they couldnt be cleared before the time limit, a penalty in the form of contribution points would be administered. Of course, when taking more missions at once, the allotted time would extend to some extent. Long Haochens group was given a total of two years toplete all those missions, but given their current strength, would they really be able to defeat the seventy-second demon god ? Even with all the confidence Han Qian had in Long Haochen, he still believed this to be no more than nonsense. However, since these little guys already left, could they really be chased back? This would be no more than a strike against them. Thinking of Long Haochens report of the truth behind what really happened in the Illusory Paradise, Han Qian gradually started to rx from his anxious state. Thats right, Han Qian already knew about the true fortune Long Haochens team had gained in the Illusory Paradise, though he didnt know how Long Haochen brought everyone in. All Long Haochen had said was that it was a secret that couldnt be leaked. With everyone possessing a spiritual stove, they should have no problem defending themselves. And furthermore, Long Haochen was young, but not reckless. _It should be okay to just let them temper themselves. And furthermore, that person will make certain to protect them. Right, I should make haste to report this to him._ Reaching this point of thinking, Han Qian temporarily suppressed the anxiety in him, and had that tall knight withdraw first, before hastily leaving his office. Right at that time, those youngsters who gave the Saint Knight Head such worries were seated cozily in a carriage, looking at the scenery on both sides, enjoying a rare time of rxation. Carriages were a special privilege for Demon Hunt Squads. In the past, Long Haochens group had shared one, but that was only once, during thepulsory mission. But this time, they were moving as amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, with the right to have a carriage of their own, naturally making long journeys a lot more convenient. At least, now they would get ample rest during their journey. At that time, none of the seven members of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad were actually cultivating. On both sides, window curtains were extended high and with the addition of ayer of wood, the carriage didnt shake. Instead of cultivating, Long Haochen passed out orders. Since they were on the verge of going on a very long and difficult trip, and had just been staying in seclusion for so long, everyone needed to have some time of rxation. After this time of repose, there would be some fierce battles against demons. It had been a whole year since they exited the Illusory Paradise, and everyone was a year older. The youngest ones, Long Haochen and Caier were now both reached sixteen years of age. Compared to the year before, now everyone in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad looked more introverted and less scatterbrained, they also were a lot steadier. As for the level their fighting strength reached, even they didnt know about that themselves. After all, it had been a year since theyst fought any demons. Their first stop was Starseeker City. Just like when they headed for the Deste Hissing Cavern, they were once again heading to the Nareiks Province from the southeast, before prating deeper into the demon territory. The carriage sped along on this trip, and soon, the group smoothly reached Starseeker City. Over the past year, battles urred frequently. Every human fort would be subjected one after another to the powerful demon attacks. The most desperate one was of course the Southern Mountain Pass City, which the demons had almost destroyed. If not for the prompt arrival of the reinforcements, the aftermath would have been too horrible to contemte. The Southeastern Fort belonging to the Warrior Temple was on the contrary the most peaceful one. Perhaps, it was because the Nareiks Province met with great re-assignations, but although the demons frequentlyunched some harassing attacks, they neverunched arge scale battle since then. Under these circumstances, the Starseeker City known as the garden behind the Southeastern Fort appeared tranquil. Business was boosted effectively, and the ordinary people lived in peace and worked happily. Actually, human ambition would generally be far from that of the demons: as long they had a peaceful and steady life, they would be very easily satisfied. Long Haochens group of seven didnt rm the Office Hall and the military from the Starseeker City. They quietly headed to a medium sized hotel, and arranged for the two carriage drivers to return to Holy City after two days of rest. After all, they wouldnt be able to return for the duration of these missions, how could they be asked to wait here. Permitting everyone to return to their rooms to get some rest, Long Haochen took Caiers hand and led her out of the hotel. To avoid attracting everyones attention, the two of them were d in sheltering veils. After all, astonishingly good looks would often attract peoples attention. Strolling on the main street of the Starseeker City, Long Haochen pulled Caiers hand, gently chuckling, Im suddenly recalling the time when we just met each other in Holy City. Actually, the tournament we should have given the top priority only served as a prop for our encounters, and instead of those matches, what I awaited the most was the time I could apany you back home every day. Caierughed back, How is it that I can only remember your foolish sides of that time? Unconcerned, Long Haochen remarked with a smile, Who wanted me to be your idiot? As long as you like it, Ill be as idiotic as you want. Caiers look immediately became softer, drawing closer to Long Haochen. The two of them were surrounded by a very warm atmosphere, while slowly advancing. On their stroll, the two of them seemed extremelyfortable and at ease, advancing in a straight line until reaching a building. On this two floored building was written inrge letters: Yue Ye Caravan. Entering the demon territory implied that one had to take great risks, as the scouting on the frontier of the demon territory would be very tight. However, it wouldnt be the same if they sneaked inside with the Yue Ye Caravan. The demon race and the Temple Alliance were the same in one aspect, which was their tight surveince on the outside and theirx inspections on the inside. As long as they went in, and disguised themselves as demons from the Moon Demon n, carrying out their missions wouldnt be so challenging. And furthermore, if they could get Yue Yes cooperation, their missions would naturally be a lot more convenient. Approximately five months ago, Long Haochen and Caier secretly went once to Starseeker City, meeting Yue Ye in secret at this ce. This was to relieve her from the restriction, and to schedule the operations of this time. When walking into the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, there were immediately some workersing up to inquire about the reason for their presence. Long Haochen handed them a baby-hand-sized emblem, demanding them to look for the person in charge, and waited with Caier in the hall of the Yue Ye Caravan. The caravan was bustling, with people going in and out constantly. This ce was only the facade of the Yue Ye Merchant Group, and the goods were not gathered here. But even so, it was very active. Long Haochen was even more confident in Yue Ye than in the past, the main reason being naturally her performance in the Illusory Paradise. Her cooperation at that time was of great use, and permitted Long Haochen to see her utility for the team in a new light. While Long Haochen reflected about the sixteen missions of this time, some clumsy steps suddenly sounded from the outside, and then, a group of soldiers entered. Chapter 377 - Sixteen Slaughter Missions (II)

Chapter 377: Sixteen ughter Missions (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales The soldiers of this group were d in leather, and led by a low grade officer in chainmail. Seeing them hold their heads high, it could be seen that they didnte for pleasantries. Wheres your boss? Call him out! The officer leading them drew a knife carried at his waist, while shouting this. The ten soldiers he brought swiftly lined up in a row, the spears in their hands pointing at the inside of the caravan building, blocking its entrance. Seeing these soldiers, some workers came to wee them immediately, Mister soldier, may I know what you came for? The worker asked with special servitude. That officer snorted coldly, Your Yue Ye Caravan is suspected of entangling with the demons. This official came to arrest your boss and inquire about these circumstances. The worker was startled about that. It was the first time something like this was happening, Mister soldier, we are frence merchants, protected by the Alliance! _Bang!_ With a p, the officer replied to that, What nonsensical frence merchants. Ill tell you that this group just went on a patrol, directed at this street. Reportedly, your Yue Ye Merchant Group was the richest on this street. Why is it like this? Is that not simply due to coboration with the demons. Hearing his words, Long Haochen pulled Caier to the side, believing that the Yue Ye Merchant Group was going to handle the matter. As an employee of the Temple Alliance, he couldnt control other peoples business. As long as this wouldnt influence the fact that the Yue Ye Merchant Group would lead them into the demon territory, it didnt concern him. However, from the start, this affair clearly sounded quite nasty. What about the Yue Ye Merchant Group being the richest? Even Long Haochen who didnt understand too much about these matters could roughly guess that these soldiers were up to no good. This time, a manager from the Yue Ye Merchant Group hastily came from the rear. Seeing the soldiers that came this time, he also appeared startled, and gave a message to the worker, pointing at Long Haochens little group, and whispered some words in his ears. Making his salutations to Long Haochen beforehand, the manager weed him before turning towards that officer, telling him with a smile, Mister officer, I am the manager from the Yue Ye Merchant Group. I want to know what you are up to, blocking the entrance to our caravan? We are legal merchants protected by the Alliance. With a sneer that officer replied, What legal merchants? Could it be that youre not doing any business with the demons? Entangling with the demons, what kind of crime is that? Follow us now. Saying that, he ced his hand on the shoulder of that manager. The smile on the managers face remained unmoved. He shook slightly, but lightly dodged his hand, and gave the reply, Mister officer, please conduct yourself with dignity. If this matter is heard about, it would be of no benefit to you. I think that I have means to prove our innocence. Saying that, he took out a purse and handed it to the officer. At first, the officer was infuriated when seeing the counterpart avoid his grab, and was about to explode, but seeing the purse handed over by that manager, the cold expression on his face immediately eased up. Taking a look at the contents of the purse, he immediately appeared satisfied, Seems that you understand things. You frence merchants arent having an easy time doing business with the demons, please stay safe! All right, we are leaving now. Saying this, he waved his hand, and was about to lead the soldiers to the exit. Wait. A clear and bright voice suddenly sounded from behind. The officer was startled, turning his head to look at the one who spoke these words, only to see that it was one of the two people standing on a side of the room, wearing bamboo hats on their heads. Now, the person took his hat off conveniently. Whats the matter? The officers voice suddenly became cold, and looking at the handsome and young sight of Long Haochen, he immediately tried to make a showoff of power. Long Haochen indifferently spoke, You are all staying here. Send someone to the Office Hall to call for themanding officer or the military head of Starseeker City. The officers expression changed immediately, Young man, are you insane? Saying that, he raised the knife in his left hand. Taking off its scabbard he pointed it at Long Haochens head. Long Haochens eyes shed, and he let a surge of biting cold murderous intent burst out, You dare? With this furious shout, the whole Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce was filled with shock. That officer was just a small fry, how could he be able to bear all the mental power contained in Long Haochens shout. Staring nk, he immediately fell to the ground, and one of his soldiers after another also fell in oblique trajectories. Long Haochen lifted his right hand, and a gold light shed up, enveloping one ordinary soldier, before a silver coloured light touched the chest of that soldier, Go, do as I say, or else, you wont ever leave this ce again. Seeing that a mere shout of fury made this officer and all these soldiers lose their fighting strength, they looked shocked. How would they dare resist now? And when the officer saw the appearance of this emblem, his face looked ashened. He waspletely speechless. Calmed from the shock with a healing technique from Long Haochen, the soldier clutched themander grade Demon Hunt Squad tile thrown by Long Haochen and left hastily. Long Haochen coldly looked at the other soldiers, Get lost. Go kneel beside the entrance. These people had only fallen to the ground due to fright, but no one lost the ability to act. Seeing Long Haochen show his power, who would dare resist? In particr, that officer looked like an inoffensive cock. He absolutely didnt dare utter a word, simply taking the initiative to kneel. Until now, Long Haochens furious face didnt ease up in the slightest, tightly clenching his fists. If these soldiers had resisted just before, perhaps he would have really raised his hand against them. Ever since Long Haochen became a knight, all the enemies he faced had been demons. All the humans he interacted with were heroic people. Galloping onto the battlefield and advancing against the enemy troops. Why did he do that? It was to let the humans live in peace and work happily. But while officers and soldiers were risking their life on the battlefield against demons, this kind of shameless acts would happen in the rear. Good and honest to the core, seeing such ruthless unfairness, how could Long Haochen not get furious? He was really controlling himself not to kill that officer directly. Otherwise, if he did raise his hand against him, he would be bound to take the life of this officer. Seeing their terrified sight before thinking about the lost lives of all the soldiers of the Alliance who died on the battlefield bathed in hot blood, Long Haochen felt his heart aching, wanting most of all to kill these worms. Demon Hunt Squads obligations were not only directed against demons, but they also had some duties in the Temple Alliance. Demon Hunt Squads of any grade had a certain authority over people of any standing in the Alliance. The higher the grade of the Demon Hunt Squad, the greater would be their power ofmand. To give a simple example, if a titled grade Demon Hunt Squad called the head of the Alliance into question, procedures of investigation for misconduct would immediately get started from the Alliance, with an unequalled degree of emergency. Given their innumerable military services, they perhaps didnt have the power ofmanding the army, but in terms of authority, they had the greatest power of the Alliance. As the leader of amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen had the authority to ask for the presence of the head officer or the military head of Starseeker City. He even had the right to directly call these two top powers of the city into question, and in case fault was found, they would very likely lose all prospects of a prosperous future after a thorough investigation. That manager from the Yue Ye Merchant Group stood calmly in the same ce while Long Haochen was handling the matter. When Long Haochens shout came, he was terrified to the core. That murderous intent wasnt something anyone could project, but only one who really went on the battlefield and killed countless enemy powerhouses could possibly gain such a sharp presence. _It is no wonder that President gave the instruction to help them in any situation, they are really not ordinary people._ Long Haochen turned to look at this manager, Hello, my name is Long Haochen. Do situations like the one right before happen often here. This manager from the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce shook his head, and replied, Generally, it happens very rarely. This officer should have reached this rank pretty recently, but his actions dont mean anything for the military. Hearing his reply, Long Haochens expression rxed slightly, Then, why didnt you call his actions just before into question? The manager gave a calm smile, Mister Long, please know that we are merchants, and cannot battle with officials. Long Haochen gave him a calm nod. He knew that in this aspect, his age of only sixteen years made him inexperienced. However, since they encountered this situation today, he would alert the officials from Starseeker City. Soldiers were guarding their home at the front, while in the rear, some worms weremitting such acts. He really found that unbearable. Is Miss Yue Ye well? Long Haochen asked in a low voice. The manager gave the respectful reply, Miss is very well. However, shes not here right now. Before leaving, she exined that if Mister Long has any need from us, we are to cooperate as much as we can. The next caravan will leave in three days, and its goods are already pretty much allocated. Long Haochen nodded, Okay, well be following your caravan to enter the demon territory. The manager nodded, and didnt say anything more. Clearly, he was very prudent and calm. Indeed, to have obtained Yue Yes trust, he was surely not an ordinary person. A short timeter, rushed noises of horseshoe were heard, and kept increasing until reaching the entrance of the caravan building. Two middle-aged men hastily came withrge strides, among which one was a man d in a gown and another man in te armor. These two looked like a warrior and an intellectual. Reaching the entrance, these two looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, their expressions clearly turning unsightly. That soldier d in te armor stepped forward, and kicked that officer against the head, Scoundrel, youre making the whole Starseeker City lose face. These two were the consul and the military head from Starseeker City. By chance, it happened that when the message was sent, the two of them were present. When receiving thismander grade Demon Hunt Squad tile, these two almost had a heart-attack. Starseeker City was arge city, and on the edge of the territory, making these two far more influential than the consul and the military head of a small town such as Haoyue Town. But still, offending Demon Hunt Squads was something they couldnt afford. Chapter 378 - Sixteen Slaughter Missions (III)

Chapter 378: Sixteen ughter Missions (III)

Demon Hunt Squads were a separate group with authority over all officials. And furthermore, these were existences tempered by facing perils on the battlefield against demons. In the past, there had been a statistic portraying that every member of amander grade Demon Hunt Squad would have at least killed thousands of demons on the battlefield. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that every Demon Hunter was a hero of humanity. Thus, even officials of such high standing didnt dare be careless in the slightest when dealing with them. This was also the reason why the two of them arrived together. Where is that person?, the military head asked with an enraged look after shouting at the officer. That officer didnt dare utter a word by now, and simply raised his hand, pointing in the direction of Long Haochen. The consul and the military head looked at Long Haochen, and appeared startled. It wasnt as if they didnt see Long Haochen and Caier, only that Long Haochen was indeed too young. How could he look the slightest bit like a Demon Hunter from amander grade Demon Hunt Squad? To say nothing about the fact that he would be their captain! Seeing these two, Long Haochens expression once again became serious. Although he looked quite young, he had experienced life or death situations many times. As the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad,manding it with experience, he saw many things, and even the Demon God Emperor wouldnt scare him. And much less those two before his eyes. I am the one who called the two of you. I still didnt consult you. Long Haochen also knew that his appearance wasnt very convincing, and didnt want to waste too much time here. Saying that, he moved his right hand in the direction of that military head, who saw with shock that Long Haochens right hand suddenly turned transparent, a clear sign of Brilliant Body, used by Temple Knights at the seventh step. At the seventh step? That person is at the seventh step?! Isnt he too young? Thats not right, hes surely in disguise or using some extraordinary pill. The military head and the consul exchanged nces, before stepping forward in a rush. The consul d in his gown dered, Hello, Respected Demon Hunter. I am the consul of Starseeker City, Shui Mu, and this person is the military head of the city, Han Qianyu. Long Haochen nodded, Hello, you two. The two of you should know about what happened right before. I hope you two will appropriately handle the situation here. I dont want to see any situation like this appear here ever again, or else, I will be sure to file aint to the Alliance, asking to remove you from your positions. Without the slightest formality, Long Haochen directly expressed his thoughts. The consul Shui Mu was still better off, his expression only changed for a bit before returning to normal, but that military head Han Qianyu wrinkled his brows, I didnt ask for your name yet, sir? Captain of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen. Before saying this, he paid attention to release a golden barrier of light, covering himself and the two officials of Starseeker City, isting all sound. Regarding Long Haochens status, Shui Mu and Han Qianyu didnt have the slightest doubt. His light attribute, and Brilliant Body of the seventh step said a lot. This was plenty as a proof, thus this couldnt possibly be a fake. Hello, Captain Long. These scoundrels truly ruined the face of the people from Starseeker City today. After heading back, I will naturally handle the matter appropriately. Since your distinguished self is a Demon Hunt Squad Captain, your own missions are all you need to worry about. Mymanding of Starseeker City doesnt need to be criticized to such lengths. The high standings of my humble self in Starseeker City isnt anything you can relieve with a mere report. Han Qianyus words clearly carried some anger, and Shui Mu was the one pulling his sleeve, without stopping his speech. Long Haochen was originally keeping his anger suppressed, but hearing that, hisplexion turned quite unsightly, and he gave the cold reply, It seems that those subordinates are merely imitating their superiors vices. Demon Hunt Squads possess authority, and you surely know about that sir. Since your distinguished self doesnt seem to consider the fault in your subordinates behavior, this matter will be reported to the higher-ups. Caier, we are leaving. Saying that, Long Haochen pulled Caiers hand, leading her to the exit, disregarding these two top higher-ups from Starseeker City. Peh, what rubbish! Looking at the leaving figures of Long Haochen and Caier, Han Qianyu couldnt help but curse in rage. On the side, Shui Mu gave a bitter smile, Old Han, why bother that much? Demon Hunters are nowhere so easy to handle. And you know, this time it was your subordinate that was in the wrong. You didnt need to say that just now, and the matter would have passed. Han Qianyu,ughed grimly, What is he going to do to me? Didnt the soldier only take some money from this chamber ofmerce? This trash, even the money in their hands is not in its fitting ce! Lets just go back and let them do whatever they want. Demon Hunt Squads are merely supervisors and no more, and they are only at themander grade. They would need to be at least at the king grade to be on equal footing with us. Just what are they? They think they are outstanding just after killing some demons? Given how sensitive Long Haochens hearing was, and the deliberate loud voice Han Qianyu used while arguing with Shui Mu, every single of his words was heard by Long Haochen. This was not simply a provocation anymore, and the depiction of subordinates imitating their superiors vices clearly infuriated Long Haochen even further. What Shui Mu thought to himself was,?Arent you just giving the other party a hold on yourself??However, he also knew Han Qianyu had some basis for what he said. Who let him be the son of the auxiliary head of the Warrior Temple? Otherwise, his position as the military head of Starseeker City wouldnt be stable like that. Originally, Long Haochen felt regretful about his exaggerated ming of the other party. Although Han Qianyus previous words werent pleasant, it was a fact that he didnt have the authority to meddle in the military affairs of the city. This matter would be reported up, but hisint wouldnt cause much interference. However, Han Qianyus arrogancepletely infuriated Long Haochen, to say nothing of the fact that he supported these soldiers in epting bribes. Sensing the change in Long Haochens mood, Caier emitted a cold intent, Should I go? Long Haochen shook his head and replied, You cannot act against them. They are administrators of the Alliance, so if you act, you will be the one in the wrong. We have to follow through official channels. Lets go back for now. I have a way to handle this matter. This person is truly obstinate and self-opinionated to the core, and isnt fit as the military head of this city. Finished speaking, he pulled Caier back to the hotel. On the morning of the second day, Long Haochen went on a walk with Sima Xian to tell the people from the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce that they would be passing by the Southeastern Fort. Then, the group of seven took the initiative to leave Starseeker City, directly heading for the Southeastern Fort. Long Haochen didnt tell hisrades about everything that happened the day before, determined to handle this matter on his own. When reaching the Southeastern Fort, and arriving at the hotel arranged for them by the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, Long Haochen left by himself. Caier originally wanted toe along, but was stopped by Long Haochen. With simple inquiries, Long Haochen looked for his destination, the headquarters of the Warrior Temple. Please forward the message that the captain of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen, seeks for an interview with the head of the Warrior Temple. Long Haochen told the guard on duty at the Warrior Temple while showing his own Demon Hunt Squads tile. To be capable of bing a guard of the Warrior Temple, he naturally was prudent and hastened to give Long Haochen a warrior salute, before taking his tile and making a report. Seeing that at this age, Long Haochen was the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad that managed to rise to themander grade, it was clear that their Demon Hunt Squad would very possibly reach the king or even the emperor grade in the future. This kind ofmander grade Demon Hunt Squad was treated quite differently. The six Temples were all assigned to guard a fort, forming the defensive line of the Temple Alliance. On the southeastern border, the Warrior Temple had the absolute authority. And because the Southeastern Fort was the closest to the central province of the demon territory, Demon Hunt Squads would frequently be stopping here and visiting the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple,municating with each other or even seeking for help sometimes. Thus, Long Haochens request for a meeting was a very normal thing, though it wouldnt be easy to tell whether the head of the Warrior Temple would be willing to meet him. Long Haochens look was very peaceful, and today, he specifically changed into the Glorious Holy Armor toe to this ce. A short timeter, that guard was already back, and with him came a forty-something middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was d in red, extremely tall and bulky. His build actually made Sima Xian pale inparison. Looking at Long Haochen, he was also startled, Whoa, really young! So youre the captain of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen. Long Haochen nodded, Hello, yes I am. The middle-aged manughed out loud, Captain Long is really young! I am the auxiliary head of the Warrior Temple named Xu Zhongliang. Wee, Captain Long. Saying this, he made a gesture in the direction of Long Haochen. With a nod, Long Haochen followed this auxiliary head inside the Warrior Temple. The Warrior Temple looked less elegantpared to the Priest Temple, and more simple and awe-inspiring. After the entrance was an immense hall. The roof, reaching a height of thirty meters, gave a very wide feeling. And right in front of the door, in the middle position of the hall of the Warrior Temple, stood a sculpture. Seeing it, Long Haochen couldnt help but stop his advance, giving a respectful look to this sculpture before performing a knight salute. His right fist ced against the chest of his Glorious Holy Armor made a metallic colliding sound. Xu Zhongliang couldnt help but stop his steps, seeing Long Haochen in a new light, with an increasingly good opinion. To the Warrior Temple, this sculpture was a sign of supreme glory. Since this person was d in knight armor, he was clearly a knight. But by giving such respectful salutations to this sculpture in his first moments here, how would he not have gained the favorable opinion of this auxiliary head of the Warrior Temple? And furthermore, Xu Zhongliang appeared straightforward, but was actually pretty meticulous, and had a good eyesight to judge people. He was entirely certain that the respect Long Haochen paid to this sculpture came from the depths of his heart. It was a matter of course that Long Haochen was sincere. Beside this sculpture stood a horizontal inscribed board. On it the words: A sword of thousand years. Thats right, this was the sculpture of the holy sword wielder Ye Wushang. It could be said that over the past several decades, the greatest genius that had ever appeared in the Six Great Temples was Ye Wushang. He even sparked the hope that the Warrior Temple could gain the leading position among the Six Great Temples and that they would all get gathered under hismand. Unfortunately, this holy sword wielder died too early. Chapter 379 - Descent of the Divine Sword (I)

Chapter 379: Descent of the Divine Sword (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Back then, when Ye Wushang died in battle against the Demon God Emperor, all the warriors from the Temple Alliance had worn a white cloth as a sign of mourning. And because of that battle, the Warrior Temple gained enormously in status. But unfortunately, since that time, no other genius of Ye Wushangs scale had ever appeared again in the Warrior Temple. It was the first time Long Haochen saw a sculpture of Ye Wushang. His appearance wasnt as outstanding as his fame. Actually, he looked rather close to an ordinary person. The stone Ye Wushang was inclined, his sword held horizontally in front of him. Faintly, his great spirit could be perceived. However, after watching it for a short time, Long Haochen lightly shook his head. The expression on Xu Zhongliangs face changed, Captain Long, so you Long Haochen sighed with sorrow, Its a pity that this sculpture doesnt portray the sword intent of Ancestor Ye Wushang. The sculpture seems close to an empty shell. In fact, this sculpture of Ye Wushang was already a masterpiece, yet Long Haochen couldnt help but want it to look even better! On the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, the sculpture of the Slumbering Cmity, the Holy Necromancer Elux, had given him a too shocking impression of perfection. Depicting even his powerful bearing and his expressions, it was basically a perfect reproduction. Inparison, this sculpture of Ye Wushang naturally seemed imperfect. From hearing Long Haochensst words, the good impression Xu Zhongliang just had of him seemed to have vanishedpletely, Captain Long, please dont be over-critical on the sculpture of our Warrior Temples hero. Otherwise, even if you are a Demon Hunter, I will still want to challenge you, to defend the honor of our Warrior Temple. Long Haochen looked slightly startled. This made him realize that his words were indeed quite rude, Sorry, I need to apologize towards you. I was impetuous. Its just that in those years, Ancestor Ye Wushang was called the sword of a thousand years, yet its a shame that his sword intent isnt expressed by this sculpture. If this could be done, perhaps someone woulde to gain some understanding because of it. Xu Zhongliang gave Long Haochen an earnest look, thinking secretly to himself that this youngster was really a sincere one. With a sigh, he dered, It would just be too hard to let the sword intent ofmander Ye appear in the sculpture. Even in those days, no one n the faction ofmander Ye could really imitate his sword intent, to say nothing of now. Commander Ye? Long Haochen asked curiously. Xu Zhongliang replied, Commander Ye was not only the master of our Warrior Temple, but also themander in chief of the three armies in the Southeastern Fort. The ancestors all addressed him as a venerable mister. Long Haochen nodded in silence, replying, Hall Master Xu, do you know when I could meet the noble head of the Warrior Temple? Xu Zhongliang was startled, thinking to himself, _This kid really wants to meet the head!? Doesnt he seem to see himself too much like a great character?_ Long Haochen naturally anticipated his thoughts, and earnestly exined, Hall Master Xu, this time, I came to the Warrior Temple for three matters, and among them, I can ask for your help for two of them. But I will need to meet the Temple Head for the most important one. Xu Zhongliang wrinkled his brows, Im afraid that meeting the Temple Head will be a bit difficult since hes busy with matters. Long Haochen faced the sculpture right in front, dering calmly, What if I said it rtes to ancestor Ye Wushang? What? Xu Zhongliang was shocked, Rted to Commander Ye? Captain Long, can you tell me what this is about? Long Haochen didnt try to beat around the bush and nodded, It is about the suggestion I just gave. I should be able to aplish it. I can bestow this sculpture with the sword intent belonging to Commander Ye. Xu Zhongliang gasped, and didnt believe that no matter what. However, he didnt question Long Haochen because he understood clearly that even the captain of an emperor grade Demon Hunt Squad wouldnt possibly do this sort of joke in the Warrior Temple. If this was really a joke, this act would really be too condescending toward the Warrior Temple, and no one would dare assume the consequences. Captain Long, you you. Xu Zhongliang felt unable to express his feelings. He certainly wished for all this too be real, but this Captain Long before his eyes was really too young. Long Haochen lifted his right hand, and earnestly said, I have just arrived with my squad from Holy City. I dont know whether your Warrior Temple has already received the news about the awakening of the divine sword, formerly belonging to ancestor Ye, that happened several months ago. Xu Zhongliang clearly felt his own heartbeat quicken. Of course, he heard of that matter, and the Warrior Temple had already dispatched an auxiliary head to investigate. However, when looking for Commander Yes descendant Ye Weiyang, she only told them that she didnt agree to disclose the identity of the person who obtained the sword of Commander Ye. If that person was willing, he would naturally get in touch with the Warrior Temple. She also told them that the new master epted by the divine sword was a knight, therefore, it wasnt likely that it would return to the Warrior Temple. This matter shook the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple, but since Ye Weiyang was the descendant of Commander Ye, they couldnt force her no matter what. All they could do was secretly search for the knight who had inherited Ye Wushangs Aria of the Goddess of Light of. They actually even made contact with the Knight Temple. Only, after several months passed, that person never showed himself. In the meanwhile, hearing Long Haochen mention that, Xu Zhongliangs shock was as one might well imagine. Xu Zhongliang saw Long Haochens right hand that appeared to be of a brilliant golden color emit a soft golden light. It materialized quietly, and immediately, a cold sword intent shed from it. A gigantic golden sword was held high above his head, the bead on its tip sending out a bright light. The sword intent was not only projected from the divine sword, but also from Long Haochens body. In that instant, Xu Zhongliangs shock was just too great. Only by standing there, Long Hoachen gave him the unsurpassed feeling of a man being one with his sword. In fact, as an Auxiliary Hall Master of the Warrior Temple, Xu Zhongliang already surpassed 90,000 units of spiritual energy, standing as a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step. But right at this moment, he actually felt insignificant in front of Long Haochen. It wasnt only him: all those people in the hall of the Warrior Temple stopped due to sensing the golden light. Of course, they didnt have any hostility. That was the light attribute, which couldnt belong to an enemy. Afterwards, that overflowing sword intent made everyone feel dull. In that instant, they actually felt a misconception. It was as if the figure releasing all that light was really the sculpture of Commander Ye. But this was just an object. Theparison was too intense. That tyrannical sword intent seemed to pierce the Warrior Temple, and that figure being in perfect unison with its sword appeared to be really extremely tall. During the year he spent in seclusion, Long Haochens progress was earth-shattering as one might well imagine. Naturally, he didnt only seed the divine sword Aria of the Goddess of Light, but also its sword intent. In the meanwhile, he managed tobine it with theprehension he gained at the time he repelled AhBao while having his awakening as a gods chosen one. Now, it was his own sword intent that took shape. Undoubtedly, this was aplished with the help from his great attributes as a gods chosen one. urately speaking, the sword intent Long Haochen emitted had a specific difference from Ye Wushangs all those years ago, and also his understanding of the swords was far from being able topare with Ye Wushang at that time. However, in his hand was the Aria of the Goddess of Light, and he received the assistance from its sword intent. How could it not shock everyone present in the Warrior Temple. The first time Xu Zhongliang saw the Aria of the Goddess of Light, he showed the greatest warrior salute as etiquette, before every warrior present immediately followed suit to present their respectful salute jointly. The golden light vanished, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light disappeared back into Long Haochens hand. The unyielding sword intent disappeared ordingly, and ardent looks were directed at Long Haochen. Xu Zhongliang nodded with force, Captain Long, please wait a moment. I will immediately report to the head. After saying that, he swiftly turned around and left. Long Haochen remained at the same ce, looking at the sculpture before him without speaking. Although this sculpture didnt contain the sword intent of the holy sword wielder Ye Wushang, in his heart, Long Haochen could feel the free and domineering aura of desperation he had on the battlefield. He vaguely felt a different understanding regarding sword intent on him. This trip to the Warrior Temple was obviously not only to handle that military head of Starseeker City. That was just some side errand. The most important objective for him was to deliver the sword intent of Ye Wushang. That was the primary reason for his trip to the Warrior Temple. A short timeter, a dozen men entered the hall from the staircase. In front of them was an elder d in a deep golden gown. This elder had a shock of silver hair, but gave off immense pressure, standing as domineering as a mountain. Xu Zhongliang and the others, some of them possessing a tyrannical presence, followed at the back of this elder, and directly headed towards Long Haochen. The elder in the golden gown revealed an excited expression, heading towards Long Haochens side inrge strides. However, just as if he didnt see him, Long Haochen was still staring fervently at that sculpture of the sword of a thousand years. Xu Zhongliang was about to say something, only to be stopped by the elders hand. His eyes shing with an extraordinary splendor, he murmured some words telling him not to disturb Long Haochen as he stood near him, scrutinizing this handsome youth closely. No less than half an hourter, Long Haochen suddenly opened his eyes wide, and stepped forward with his left foot, as his right hand moved forward like a bolt of lightning. Indistinctly, a faint golden radiance followed his movement. With a very carefree feeling a sigh escaped from his mouth, and instantly, sharp hissing sounds rang out in the whole hall. The hissing disappeared in a shing second, but the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple standing nearby were still filled with surprise. They had distinctly perceived the power in Long Haochens right hand. Without any fluctuation of spiritual energy, it was merely filled with pure sword intent. Just who was this youth? Youre Long Haochen? The elder in the golden gown finally spoke, though his voice surprisingly seemed to be shaking slightly. Long Haochen had a fright, discovering that another person stood at his side. Turning around, he happened to face the enraged elder in the golden gown. Chapter 380 - Descent of the Divine Sword (II)

Chapter 380: Descent of the Divine Sword (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Senior, you On his side, Xu Zhongliang hastened to say, This person is the head of our Warrior Temple, Temple Head Qiu Yonghao. Long Haochen stamped the ground with his left foot, cing his right fist on his chest, Captain of the 64thmander grade Long Haochen salutes, Temple Head. After observing him for quite a long time, Qiu Yonghao spoke, Youre the son of the old pal Xingyu, arent you? As expected, a young hero. I really didnt think that the divine sword of Commander Ye actually chose you as its master. Can you let me see the Aria of the Goddess of Light of Ancestor Ye? He truly felt very impatient. Okay. Long Haochen raised his right hand once again, and when that brilliant golden light appeared in front of all the leaders of the Warrior Temple, they all had foolish looks, especially, those older powerhouses from the Warrior Temple. All of them were in tears in front of this sight. Among them, the most affected was the Head of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao. Boss, boss, I can finally see your divine sword again! I finally see it reappear to the light. Boss, why is it that at that time you didnt listen to my dissuasion, you became the hero of humans and the hero of the Warrior Temple. Dont you know that I lost this good elder brother at that time. Qiu Yonghao rushed forward, firmly grasping the Aria of the Goddess of Light. He even lost his voice due to crying bitterly. All the powerhouses of the Warrior Temple repeated the same action as before once again, giving a warrior salute to the divine sword in the hands of Long Hoachen. Sensing their sadness and reminiscence, Long Haochens eyes turned gradually red in spite of himself. The most shocking was that the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his hands seemed to have understood the words of Qiu Yonghao and actually emitted a buzzing sound. It appeared as if this divine sword was also mourning with grief. After a long time, Qiu Yonghao recovered from his sadness, and wiped the tears on his face away. This silver-haired elder looked at Long Haochen with red eyes, Kid, did youe specifically to return the sword ofmander Ye? I want to thank you on behalf of the Warrior Temple. Long Haochen lightly nodded, Temple head, I happened to be about to address this subject. The divine sword reappeared, and is indeed of too great importance to the Warrior Temple. Thus, although I gained the acknowledgement of the divine sword as its owner, I want to seek approval from you and all seniors from the Warrior Temple to use it as my weapon. I pledge to you and everyone present here that I wont let this divine sword of Ancestor Ye collect dust in my hands. Qiu Yonghao appeared sluggish. Although he felt extremely excited, he still kept himself from insisting on the matter. What he thought was that Long Haochen was returning the divine sword, but he didnt look ready to deliver it. This meant he really had the intention to take possession of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Long Haochen also didnt seem resigned but showed his categorical attitude towards the divine sword, as its true owner. Long Haochen! Then what did youe for today? Qiu Yonghao asked calmly. Long Haochen replied with a respectful tone, Today, I came for three things. The most important one is that I need you and the Warrior Temple to ept that although I cannot leave the divine sword here, I wish to let the sword intent of Ancestor Ye remain in the Warrior Temple, because this is something that should belong to your Warrior Temple. Qiu Yonghao was startled, To leave the sword intent of Commander Ye? How are you thinking of doing this? He felt more and more curious about this young man. Of course, his deepest wish was to see the Aria of the Goddess of Light remain here. It was only that he clearly understood the position of Long Haochen for the Knight Temple. Han Qian designated this kid as the sole sessor of the Knight Temple, which meant he would be the future Temple head of the Knight Temple. Forcing him to leave the divine sword was thus no good thing. To say nothing of the rest, that old man wasnt easy to handle. Long Haochen looked at the sculpture of Ye Wushang, telling him in a deep voice, Hall Master, if you agree, I wish to leave it in this sculpture, so that every powerhouse of the Warrior Temple can see it, and perhaps get some enlightenment from it. This is the only thing I can do for the Warrior Temple. If Long Haochen had said such words right off the bat when seeing him, Qiu Yonghao would definitely not have seen this young man in a good light. This was just too hard to believe. In those years, among so many powerhouses of the Warrior Temple, none managed to bring out the sword intent of Commander Ye. But how about this young guy? Qiu Yonghao didnt know Long Haochens exact age, but he guessed he wasnt even twenty years old. But right before, the sword intent released from Long Haochens right hand had shocked Qiu Yonghao enormously. He waspletely certain that even Commander Ye couldnt have shown such attainment in swordy at this age. This young guy was as expected a genius among geniuses. After pondering slightly, Qiu Yonghao slowly turned around, looking at the higher-ups, and inquired from them, What are your views? An elder looking approximately the same age as Qiu Yonghao replied in a deep tone, Not proper. Commander Yes sculpture already stood untouched for hundred years. How could it be changed so lightly? This isnt something we can decide on. In case the sculpture gets broken, well be unable to exin that to the thousands upon thousands of warriors from the Temple. Xu Zhongliang spoke next, Head, auxiliary head, I believe we should let him try. Long Haochen managed to seed Commander Yes divine sword, and this already proves the trust the divine sword ced in him. Only he can possibly have gotten some understanding pertaining to Commander Yes sword intent. If That wont do. The elder addressed as an auxiliary head by him cut in with a categorical shout, Whats to be done if he fails? Could we bear the loss? Before doing anything, you have to consider the aftermath first. Then, only if the worst possibilities can be withstood can you act. Undoubtedly, this elder could be considered as quite a conservative person. Next, the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple expressed their views, though the overwhelming majority wasnt willing to let Long Haochen alter the sculpture of Ye Wushang without further discussion. Of course, the problem wasnt that they didnt want the sword intent of Commander Ye to reappear, but just that Long Haochen was really too young. In their eyes, the sessor of Commander Ye was still a mere child. How could they possibly be at ease when letting him handle such an important task? Seeing everyone argue, Long Haochen secretly sighed, and told Qiu Yonghao, Temple Head, how about this? I will not act directly on the sculpture but instead, you can bring me arge stone, where Ill try to leave the sword intent of Commander Ye. Nheless, I can only do this today, because we will immediately have to leave the Alliance to head for the borders of the demon territory to carry out a mission. He had no choice but to do so. Long Haochen came here with the original goal to get the approval of the Warrior Temple for letting him have the Aria of the Goddess of Light, while reporting back to the Warrior Temple. After all, if he didnt give a justification to the Warrior Temple why this divine sword stayed in his hands for a long time, it would be bound to be a lot moreplicated for him to leave its sword intent in the Warrior Temple, for the sake of proving his own qualifications to control this divine sword. Qiu Yonghao nodded and replied, Since things are like that, we can only do so. However, Haochen, I have a bold favor. You should know that the Aria of the Goddess of Light is really a divine sword of high importance to my Warrior Temple. If it is possible, we still wish for the divine sword to remain in the Warrior Temple. You may give whichever conditions you want: as long as we can, we will satisfy them in exchange for the divine sword. Qiu Yonghao could see that if he didnt address the topic directly, Long Haochen would definitely not leave the divine sword here. Nheless, this was not surprising. Anyone would do the same, since this was after all a powerful divine sword! Although Qiu Yonghao could see that in the divine sword in Long Hoachens hands had yet topletely regain its bearing of those years, that was still a powerful weapon of the legendary tier. Anyone possessing this kind of divine sword wouldnt easily be convinced to let go of it. Giving a look to Qiu Yonghao, Long Haochen shook his head, Temple Head, I cannot. The Aria of the Goddess of Light recognized me as its master and I am the only one who can use it. I think that Ancestor Ye wouldnt hope to see his divine sword buried in a dark room. I will let it run free in the demon territory and kill powerful enemies to let it drink its fill of demon blood. I will permit this sword to let its true brilliance reappear and then reconstruct its sword soul. Thus, I can only decline your request. Qiu Yonghao dered deeply, What if I would exchange it for a weapon of the Epic Tier? Also of the light element? Long Haochen was shaken deep inside. He obviously knew the meaning a piece of Epic Tier equipment held. In fact, the powerhouses possessing a piece of Epic Tier equipment in the word could all be described as blessed with an iparable privilege. The reason why the Knight Temple could remain as the head of the Six Great Temples for so long was because they had divine tools such as the Divine Thrones. But the Warrior Temple actually didnt even have a divine tool, and weapons at the Epic Tier would already be the most powerful weapons they could take out. ording to Long Haochens knowledge, the Warrior Temple had in total less than five pieces of Epic Tier equipment. Without a doubt, any piece of equipment at the Epic Tier would cause his strength to go up by leaps and bounds. The enticement was undoubtedly huge. However, Long Haochen still shook his head, Apologies, Temple Head. To me, this divine sword is even more important than a divine tool. When using it in battle, I can sense the bearing of the Ancestor Ye of those times. No matter whether it is to increase my strength or a boost to my will, it is too precious to me. And as I have just said, while holding on to this divine sword, I will definitely let its glory of those years reappear. Young man, you are too arrogant. The elder who was addressed as auxiliary head stepped forward and arrived at Qiu Yonghaos side, letting a massive pressure envelop Long Haochen. The people present were all powerhouses from the Warrior Temple, and although they couldnt really act against Long Haochen, giving him some pressure was still possible. In front of such a strong pressure, Long Haochens face still remained unaffected. Standing perfectly straight, he dered respectfully, Senior, I am not arrogant. I am only speaking the truth. Otherwise, I wouldnt be appearing in the Warrior Temple so brazenly. If I simply had used the Aria of the Goddess of Light to battle against the demons, Im afraid that the Warrior Temple would have difficulty to identify me at all as the holder of this divine sword. Today, it was entirely out of sincerity that I came. Chapter 381 - Descent of the Divine Sword (II)

Chapter 381: Descent of the Divine Sword (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Qiu Yonghao waved his hand, blocking the pressureing from that elder. Deep inside, he was secretly stunned. In fact, although Long Haochen had the strength to be the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad at themander grade, he was still only at the sixth step of cultivation. Confronted with the pressure of a powerhouse at the ninth step, he still spoke frankly and with assurance. This wasnt something an average person would be able to do. Haochen, how about this? You just said that you would be willing to ept our Warrior Temples trial. Warriors and knights are a family, so we naturally wont send someone topare notes with you. Lets do as you said: if you can leave the sword intent of Commander Ye in a stone, as you promised before, this will be the proof that you are qualified to wield this divine sword. On the other hand, if you fail, you will leave the divine sword at our Temple, but I will still give you a weapon at the Epic Tier. For any other piece of equipment, Qiu Yonghao would definitely not have done this. He was already forcing the other side with overbearing power. But the Aria of the Goddess of Light was really too important to the Warrior Temple. Even keeping it at the Temple, with no one able to use it, was okay. Long Haochen gave Qiu Yonghao an ardent look, and took a deep breath, Okay, I am promising you. However, if I dont seed, I will just leave the divine sword here, but wont demand a piece of equipment of the Epic Tier from your noble temple. Please bring a stone. He could understand the eagerness of these powerhouses from the Warrior Temple, but under the pressure of these elders, Long Haochens pride was finally set to me. _I will prove to you that I am qualified to have this divine sword._ Hearing him, Qiu Yonghao appeared to have an apologetic look. Turning around, he gave some instructions, and naturally someone went to do the task. It was that elder, the auxiliary head, who left hurriedly. Long Haochen didnt talk with Qiu Yonghao anymore, but sat cross legged where he just stood before, and entered a meditative state in front of all those people. The whole process went as natural as the flow of a stream of water. Seemingly only by sitting down, he became like an old monk in an instant, a solid boulder. _How full of prospects!_ Qiu Yonghao secretly couldnt help but exim in admiration and actually felt jealous of the Knight Temple. To show such qualities at this age, this Long Haochen was bound to be a cornerstone for the Knight Temple in the future. If his growth went smoothly, the Knight Temple would gain another unrivalled genius, that should actually even surpass his own father. If Long Xingyu attained the rank of Divine Knight merely in his forties, what about him? At what age would he get to harmonize with a Divine Throne? Forty? Or even before reaching this age? A short timeter, a dozen powerhouses from the Warrior Temple brought a huge rock to the hall. Seeing this huge rock, Qiu Yonghao couldnt help but show a change of expression, giving that auxiliary head an inquiring look. The auxiliary head earnestly nodded to him, his lips doing some movements as if to say something. Qiu Yonghao felt hesitant, but still nodded. Looking at Long Haochens current state, the apologetic feeling he had increased even further. This huge rock was oval-shaped, and entirely dark. However, it let out an extraordinary aura of steadiness and depth. Looking at it, one wouldnt think of seeing aof piece of stone, but rather a deep cavern. Reportedly, this was a heavenly meteorite recovered by the Warrior Temple. Iparably tough, it would be extremely difficult even for a piece of equipment of Glorious Tier to leave a trace on it, and for a piece of equipment at the Legendary Tier, an extremelyrge amount of spiritual energy would need to be poured inside to inflict the slightest cut. And furthermore, this piece of heavenly meteorite was actuallyparable to refined gold in adhesion of spiritual energy, while surpassing thetter in terms of toughness by arge amount. It was just because there never appeared a refiner confident in being able to make a piece of equipment out of it, that it was left in the treasury of the Warrior Temple for so long. Today, it was obviously with the purpose of making things hard for Long Haochen that they actually brought this piece of heavenly meteorite out. Even if he had the ability to leave the sword intent, inflicting a cut on this piece of heavenly meteorite wasnt something that could be done with a half-assed amount of spiritual energy. Seemingly sensing that the huge stone was in ce, Long Haochen slowly opened his eyes, immediately revealing an amazed look when staring at this three meters high heavenly meteorite. Qiu Yonghao coughed, Leaving the sword intent of Ancestor Ye is a wish we obviously had for all eternity. For this reason, we brought the best material for you. Haochen, how do you view this huge heavenly meteorite? If it wont do, we can change it for another one. He indeed felt apologetic. For one who lived for more than a hundred years, to try to scheme against a ten and a few years old child was an act that would make him lose all face when the higher-ups of the Knight Temple would get to know about this in the future. Thus, he finally still backed down and inquired Long Haochen about whether he would want to change it for another stone. However, Qiu Yonghao didnt expect Long Haochen to shake his head to his proposal and reply, No need to change it. Lets just go with this one. However, I have a little request. Since we are using a heavenly meteorite instead of the sculpture, could the parts Id cut in the process be given to me? Its okay. However, thats with the premise that you manage to leave the sword intent. That old auxiliary head rushed to give that reply, for fear that Long Haochen would go back on his decision. However, he didnt expect that this wasnt the first time Long Haochen got to see a glimpse of that heavenly meteorite. His father Long Xingyu also had one, thus he knew clearly about the toughness of a heavenly meteorite. In those years, Long Xingyu had told Long Haochen that the Warrior Temple had a treasure amongst all treasures, and that was this piece of heavenly meteorite. If it were refined into a piece of equipment or used to refine another one, even a little piece of it would make it rise in rank. Especially for weapons, the results would be very clear. Long Haochen slowly straightened up his posture, and walked over to this heavenly meteorite. Never had he carved anything before, but he did some research on carving. However, what he had to do today wasnt carving, but to leave some sword intent behind. This was an entirely different concept. Walking five meters away from that heavenly meteorite, Long Haochen stopped moving and stood there, concentrating on the deep aura released by this piece of heavenly meteorite. No one disturbed him, only watching silently. Qiu Yonghao was feeling veryplex emotions. He actually didnt know whether Long Haochen would seed or fail, but neither of the two results would be bad to the Warrior Temple. I request the right to have the assistance from my mount and spiritual stove. Long Haochen asked calmly, without even turning back. Qiu Yonghao replied, Of course you can. Long Haochen nodded, and pointed a finger on his left hand to his side. Immediately, a purple glow of light urred and then, a massive creature appeared in the view of everyone present. The shock brought by Haoyue was truly great. His ten meters long immense body stood like a small mountain, but more extraordinarily, he had four differentrge heads. Appearing behind Long Haochen, he immediately looked around. His neck straight, Little Light, Little me, Little Green and Little Blue swept their eyes over everyone in the Warrior Temple, actually standing proudly. _What mount is that?_ Qiu Yonghao and the auxiliary heads looked at each other, in total shock. Never did they see this kind of magical beast before! Although the fluctuations of spiritual energy spread out from it werent something they noticed, its body seemed to be full of unique qualities, especially from how proudly he stood, giving a sentiment of transcending reality. Right at that time, a low chant was initiated by Haoyues four huge heads, and they assumed a very peculiar stance. Only the mouth of Little Light stood straight, while the other three heads were crawling downwards, attaching themselves to the neck of Little Light, and looking up at him while chanting. Immediately, intense surges of breath of the four elements wind, fire, water and light were spread in the shape of violent fluctuations from Haoyues body. Four elemental magical beast? Xu Zhongliang couldnt help but cry out in rm. Qiu Yonghaos look became a lot more concentrated, now suddenly feeling some regret about the fact he made things hard for this child. Long Haochen was right; if he didnte today, the Warrior Temple wouldnt even have gotten to see the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This child came out of goodwill, and yet this was how he was treated by them. However, on the other side was the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This may be the first time Qiu Yonghao felt embarrassed to such an extent. And right at this time, Long Haochen set in movement. On his back, brilliant light radiated and four spiritual wings unfolded, absorbing the light essence in the air valiantly. Meanwhile, Long Haochen held his right hand high, letting the Aria of the Goddess of Light reappear in his hand. A more extraordinary scene followed, and a golden figure seemed to have appeared on the back of Long Haochen. At the same time his four wings unfolded, this golden figure appeared in the eyes of everyone present. d in a golden battle skirt, with a golden staff in hand, beautiful golden hair and six transparent wings, she appeared as tall as a human; only her pair of slightly pointed ears exposed her origins. The fairy race from the ancient times? That old auxiliary head couldnt help but show an rmed look. Dozens of years ago, he had been studying the power and prestige from ancient fairies. However, he never saw the real appearance of a fairy from the old times. Yet Yating appeared in everyones view, with exactly the same appearance as he imagined the ancient fairies to have. How could that not astonish him? No, this is a light fairy. Qiu Yonghao was after all the head of the Warrior Temple, and had a powerful perception. Nheless, even when retorting his old friend, the elder still felt shock. Even though he sensed that this was an elemental fairy, who would have seen an element fairy looking just like ancient fairies? _Long Haochen, just how much shock are you going to bring us before leaving the matter to that?_ This time, Qiu Yonghao wasnt the only regretful one, and even those other auxiliary heads that stayed silent all along felt remorseful.

Chapter 382: Sword Intent and Secrets (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales Yating actually didnt care about letting others see her, and just like Haoyue, right after appearing, she immediately started the chant of an incantation. A dense golden radiance instantly spread out from her, directed in Long Haochens direction. Long Haochen raised his head, gazing at the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his hand. However, he didnt chant any incantations and concentrated all his attention on the divine sword. The massive sword intent radiated by the Aria of the Goddess of Light was slowly withdrawn under their gazes, vanishing into the sword. But with each portion that vanished, the look of the Aria of the Goddess of Light changed, shifting from a brilliant golden color to dark gold. Long Haochens eyes gleamed electrified, and he seemed to be forming a single entity with the divine sword. It appeared as if the Aria of the Goddess of Light gained sharpness, and he felt as if the de was a part of himself. The tyrannical sword intent kept increasing without pause, and the golden color from Long Haochens body looked more and more rich and powerful. In this state, he seemed to have returned to those hills in the Illusory Paradise, but this time, he was not only filled withprehension, but also with a disdainful pride. Even in front of a powerhouse of the ninth step, he wouldnt cower. Haoyue and Yating poured spiritual energy into Long Haochen. Haoyue was using his well-mastered light elemental Spiritual Boosting, but this time, Little Light wasnt the only one using it. The other three heads converted their own elements entirely into light, and assisted Long Haochen with their full strength. Yating was using the spell Brilliant World in its simplest form, but her Brilliant World was already over three times more effective than ordinary ones. And all this light elemental spiritual energy went through her purification. Without exaggeration, the fact Long Haochen couldnt increase his total spiritual energy in battle aside, his battle strength right now matched at least powerhouses totalling 20,000 units of spiritual energy. Yating and Haoyues supportive abilities could only be described as extraordinary. Finally, the Aria of the Goddess of Lightpletely turned dark golden, and even his body changed color. This feeling wasnt strange, but iparably great. His overflowing sword intent was even felt outside the Warrior Temple. It was as if this strike could split heaven and earth. Right at that time, Long Haochen moved. Launching his left foot forward, he brazenly struck with the heavy sword in his hand. It was simple and direct, and didnt have any embellishment. Holyfied Asura Strike. Although Long Haochen didnt use Storing Power at the time ofunching that blow, his sword intent, close to a condensed shape, was frantically exerted in the air, without producing any sound nor leaking any spiritual energy. Only seeing this dark golden sh of light, everyone felt the iparably sharp sword intent causing cracking sounds in the very decorated Warrior Temple hall. The powerhouses of the Warrior Temple had no choice but to urge their spiritual energy into a body armor. And all it took to armor themselves instinctively was the mere sensing of this sword intent. What if they would really face this attack? Qiu Yonghaos expression changed this time for real, because he unexpectedly found out that if the one facing this blow was himself, even though he could defeat Long Haochen, he didnt have the certainty to stay unscathed. This childs cultivation was not yet at the seventh step! And Qiu Yonghao was a veteran powerhouse at the ninth step. However, to everyones surprise, that heavenly meteorite remained unaffected, and afterunching this strike, Long Haochen stumbled heavily. Yating was the one supporting him from behind, to prevent him from falling down. A soft golden radiance kept being released from Yatings body to heal Long Haochen, and Haoyues four heads slowly rose, their eyes turning purple. On Long Haochens forehead, nine lines of a purple pattern appeared. The only difference from the past was that after his awakening as a gods chosen one, the color became purple-gold. Long Haochen was lightly shaken, and slowly stood up straight. The Aria of the Goddess of Light that returned to its usual golden color was absorbed back into his right hand. After executing the strike right before, he actually temporarily fainted, and recovered with the help of the healing from Haoyue and Yating. However, all of this was worth it. The strike right before clearly fused theprehension he gained from watching the sculpture of Ye Wushang with his own level of sword intent into one. Without exaggeration, his currentprehension on sword intent now reached a very deep level, at least matching Ye Wushang at the time he was thirty. None of the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple said anything, because they didnt know what to say. Although they had just seen Long Haochen fail, the terrible sword intent they saw right before was just too powerful. The ones with the deepest feeling were Qiu Yonghao and that auxiliary head who had seen Ye Wushang in battle before. Right at that instant, they felt as if they were seeing Ye Wushangs resurrection. Just from feeling this sword intent, they all understood that Long Haochen was indeed qualified to wield the Aria of the Goddess of Light! They wouldnt find another person of such kind even in the whole Warrior Temple. Haochen. Qiu Yonghao stepped forward a bit, wanting to give a few words of constion to this child. He was already thinking of whether it would be possible to convince the other higher-ups of the Warrior Temple to let this child be the master of this divine sword. Long Haochen turned his head with a weak look, smiling with difficulty at Qiu Yonghao. He now felt weak to the extent of being unable to speak, and if not for the help from Haoyue and Yating, he would have fallen in a state of deep unconsciousness. His consumption of spiritual energy from before was just too big. It wasnt only about spiritual energy, but even included his own mental and physical power. By now, he felt too weak to even lift a single finger. Of course, his condition kept improving by the minute with the coordinated help from Haoyue and Yating. Ayer of deep purple light continued being released from Haoyues body. While Long Haochen absorbed this purple light, his physical power returned bit by bit, while Yating was offering him her purest light essence. Qiu Yonghao let out a sigh, Child, I have a suggestion. Although you failed, you still did more than enough. I understand that at least at the present time, you are the only one who can wield this divine sword. The Aria of the Goddess of Light really found a very good owner. You are the son of Long Xingyu and the sole sessor of the Knight Temple. This is something I shouldnt be saying, but you should also understand that the Aria of the Goddess of Light is of too great importance to our Warrior Temple. I cannot take out anything as precious as bargaining chip, except for my own position. If you are willing, you can be the head of the Warrior Temple. I will readily renounce my position and assist you with all my strength. You wont need to keep doing missions with your Demon Hunt Squad, and as the head of the Warrior Temple, your cultivation will get the full backing of the Warrior Temple. I believe that in the near future, you will be a second Commander Ye. While speaking these words, Qiu Yonghao felt quite enthusiastic. This decision wasnt difficult to make, and was actually done in a split second, without discussing it with anyone. He believed that he had the ability to convince the others. His words werent praise, but came from the depths of his heart. That was indeed how excellent Long Haochen was. As a powerhouse at the ninth step, Qiu Yonghao clearly saw that both his mount and his light fairy were beings out of reach to any ordinary person, and his dual pair of wings proved his boundless potential of strength in the future. Perhaps the current Long Haochen was only at the sixth step of cultivation, but Qiu Yonghao was absolutely sure that even a powerhouse of the seventh step couldnt necessarily contend against him. Seeing that a young powerhouse with such prowess appear before him, he was entirely unable to suppress his own feelings of yearning. However, Long Haochen had just too many unique and unmatched things. What more could he give him? What could be appealing enough for him to convince him to quit the Knight Temple and join the Warrior Temple instead? This way the Aria of the Goddess of Light would forever remain in the hands of the Warrior Temple. In such a short time, all he could think of was his own position as the head of the Warrior Temple. The Temple Alliance was formed of the Six Great Temples, and bing head of one of them was akin to bing one of the six great heads of the Temple Alliance. This was already the ultimate honor and position for a human, that only the members of titled grade Demon Hunt Squads could match. These words shocked everyone present. Cries of rm were heard from the mouths of every powerhouse of the Warrior Temple present. They absolutely didnt expect such words toe from their Temple Head right now. And furthermore, given Qiu Yonghaos position, and since he already spoke these words, he wouldnt withdraw them, and in the whole Alliance, no one could possibly stop him. Of course, whether Long Haochen would really be able to sit in the position of the Warrior Temples head would still be decided by the unanimous agreement from the higher-ups. But Qiu Yonghao right now was at the absolute peak of the Warrior Temple. With his promise, Long Haochen would already be almost half-seated on the throne of the head of the Warrior Temple. Senior, you Long Haochen said in a weak voice. Qiu Yonghao earnestly continued, The words I just said wont be changed, neither will they be cause for regret. As long as you are willing to sit in the position of the Warrior Temples head, it will be the start of a glorious period for my Warrior Temple. Although you are young now, you are bound make the Warrior Temple very proud in the future, even surpassing Commander Ye! Child,e, the door to the Warrior Temple is opened wide for you. In the future, you will get to fully control the Warrior Temple. Qiu Yonghaos words were undoubtedly full of appeal. It could be said that over the thousand years of history of the Temple Alliance, it was the first time such a situation appeared. And Qiu Yonghao still didnt know the real age of Long Haochen. A sixteen years old youth sitting at an important position such as Temple Head was simply an unprecedented event. 1. most likely, reinforced by Holy Sword Chapter 383 - Sword Intent and Secrets (II)

Chapter 383: Sword Intent and Secrets (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales At that time, the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple gradually came back to their senses. Everyones expression changed from hearing the words Qiu Yonghao said to Long Haochen, but what could they say after this sight? They had all just witnessed what Long Haochen intended to show them. _If this youth really bes the head of the Warrior Temple, then, ten or twenty years in the future, he will undoubtedly add another illustrious page to the history of the Warrior Temple._ The auxiliary chief that stood strong all this time strode forward until he was next to Qiu Yonghao, and right when thetter was believing he would oppose him, this elder dered without hesitation, I support the decision of Brother Qiu. Child, as long as you are willing, you will be the most important person in the Warrior Temple from now on. If Qiu Yonghaos words could be said to have brought Long Haochen to gain half of the throne of the Warrior Temple, then the words of this veteran auxiliary head could be said to have secured him this position. As long as Long Haochen assented, he would really be the head of Warrior Temple. Seniors, I am really sorry, but I cannot ept. I am a part of the Knight Temple. And furthermore, I am now a Demon Hunter and the captain of my Demon Hunt Squad. As such, I am responsible for all myrades. Moreover, I havent failed! While this head and auxiliary head were speaking, Long Haochens finally regained some of his physical strength. At least enough to have the strength to speak. _He actually refused?_ The two elders were in a daze. _And what did he just say then? He hasnt failed?_ Long Haochen gave Haoyue an eye signal, and his massive body started to move, sweeping his tail at this heavenly meteorite. With a rumbling noise, at least a third of the heavenly meteorite fell to the ground. The meteorite was very heavy and produced a very loud bang when smashing to the ground. But this stunned everyone present once again. Everyone here knew how tough the heavenly meteorite was. Let alone its whole, even a portion of it would be iparably hard to split! So actually, he didnt fail, and managed to cut down such arge piece of heavenly meteorite. Including those powerhouses of the ninth step, no one present got to clearly see that blow from Long Haochen. When the strike wasunched, everything around it had been engulfed in light. Qiu Yonghao could only feel his throat bing dry. And this time, he didnt know what to say. He was speechless, and the same applied to all the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple present. Right at that instant, Qiu Yonghaos mind was totally nk. In this short time, Long Haochen regained more of his physical strength and managed to stand up straight. With the support of Yatings arm, he slowly advanced in the direction of that heavenly meteorite, and with a glint of gold, the light of the Eternal Paradise enveloped the heavenly meteorite, and a third of that heavenly meteorite disappeared, ording to the agreement they made before. Because of the agreement with the Warrior Temple, Long Haochen directly took the chopped parts of the heavenly meteorite which were his reward for his task. But did the Warrior Temple really suffer a loss? The answer was no. The staff in Yatings hands was pointed towards the remaining two thirds of the heavenly meteorite, and with a golden glint, it seemed to emit a buzzing sound. Immediately, a sword intent full of might blossomed from the cut. This severe sword intent reappeared slowly in everyones view, and was finally dispersed within a radius of three meters around the heavenly meteorite. Slowly spreading out, it didnt look as unyielding as before, but this sword intent appeared even more concentrated. Thats right, with that strike, Long Haochen left the entirety of his sword intent inside this heavenly rock. If that wasnt the case, he wouldnt be in such a weak state. Of course, his own sword intent didnt disappear, and as long as he would be given the time to rest, it would recover in his body. But this heavenly rock wouldnt run out of sword intent for at least hundred years. With the stimtion from Yatings spiritual energy, the sword intent was activated. It was an iparably precious thing that Long Haochen left to the Warrior Temple. Every one of the warriors present was speechless. Qiu Yonghao slowly approached Long Haochen, and after letting out a long sigh, dered, Child,e with me. Saying this, he slowly strolled towards the side of the hall. He advanced at a slow speed, and in that instant, seemed to have gained a lot of age. Followed by the attentive gazes of the other powerhouses from the Warrior Temple, Long Haochen followed Qiu Yonghao as he stepped out. Currently, most of Long Haochens physical strength was restored. Right before going up the stairs, he sent Haoyue back to the Tower of Eternity, before following Qiu Yonghao upstairs. Top floor of the Warrior Temple, office of the Temple Head. Qiu Yonghao pointed to a nearby sofa, You may sit down. Long Haochen sized up the room of the highest leader of the Warrior Temple, full of shock. This was because this ce was just too in and simple. Inside the room wasnt any ornament. There were only simply tables, chairs, wooden bookcases, very old-fashioned sofas and a board bed. Nothing more. Although this room was more than two hundred square metersrge, it was devoid of any personal thingsfeelings. Qiu Yonghao spoke insipidly, In those years, when Commander Ye led the Warrior Temple, this room was also decorated this way. It remained the same for more than a hundred years, and even the positions of the items werent changed in the slightest. Since the time he saw this head of the Warrior Temple for the first time, Long Haochen felt his fanatical belief in Ye Wushang. You think its strange to cherish the memories of Commander Ye that much even as the head of the Warrior Temple, dont you? Qiu Yonghao gave a frustrated look to Long Haochen as he voiced this question. Long Haochen didnt utter a word, only lightly nodding. This is because I was originally the chambein of Commander Ye, or perhaps I should say his servant, the partner that grew up with Commander Ye. Qiu Yonghaos voice was actually choking with emotions. The appearance of the Aria of the Goddess of Light called had reawakened his extreme grief, but also his most beautiful memories. Commander Ye also had great family circumstances. His father was a consul, while my family was poor. When I was five, his parents bought me for the home of Commander Ye, where I was held as a ve. I was two years younger than Commander Ye, thus I was urged to follow him in the mansion, as his little manservant, and his lifelong chambein. Commander Ye treated me very well. Since young, he never treated me as someone inferior to him. I still clearly remember that when he was only seven, he told me the words: From now on, you are my younger brother, and I will be protecting you. At this point of his story, Qiu Yonghao couldnt control his own emotions. Tears fell down, and this old man, already more than a hundred years old, cried bitterly about his memories from a time more than a hundred years ago. While Long Haochen could say before that he still felt somewhat resentful toward the Warrior Temple, after hearing the proposal of Qiu Yonghao to seed him as Temple Head and experience their trial, this resentment started to change into sympathy. When Commander Ye was training in the sword arts, he let me apany him during his training. Then, when joining the Warrior Temple, he let me follow him as well. Even right before his decisive battle against the Demon God Emperor, he still didnt forget to warn me to cultivate well. At that time, I was still merely at the seventh step of cultivation. Without the support of Commander Ye, I wouldnt be here today, and would have simply lived as a manservant, leading a mediocre life. I really didnt expect that I would see the brilliance of Commander Ye reappear in front of my eyes ever again. I know that I cannot possibly make you return the divine sword to the Warrior Temple. You were entirely right, its only in your hands that this divine sword can regain the bearing it had in those years while it was in the possession of Commander Ye. However, I wish for you not to act as impetuously as Commander Ye did in those days. Before your wings blossom entirely, you have to ce your safety as top priority. The reason is that you already do not belong only to yourself, but to the Alliance, as the hope of the entire humanity. Yes. Long Haochen stood up, giving his agreement with respect. Qiu Yonghao let out a sigh, I really envy the Knight Temple! My invitation will be valid forever. The doors of the Warrior Temple will be open for you at any time. After reaching this point, his eyes suddenly lit up, suddenly having a thought, Haochen, what about remaining in the Knight Temple while holding the post of head of the Warrior Temple, how do you think the idea sounds? What? Long Haochen had a start, Temple Head, you are overvaluing this junior. Qiu Yonghao continued with a gentleughter, This isnt impossible. Its not that I am overvaluing you, but the ability you showed today simply created the prerequisite for anyone to value you. You definitely have to keep yourself alive. I heard from Xu Zhongliang that you came to the Warrior Temple to handle three matters. The most important one is already handled. What about the other two? Long Haochen said, I have just epted some ughter Missions with myrades and am prepared to follow the Yue Ye Caravan to the demon territory. But our cultivation already exceeds the sixth step, so Im afraid well not be able to cross the inspection when leaving the Southeastern Fort. Qiu Yonghao replied, This will be simple. I will just have someone tell a word to the one in charge. And what about the other one? Long Haochen muttered to himself irresolutely, before telling the simple story about what happened in Starseeker City. With no superfluous addition, he only spoke the truth. The soldiers in the front are blood soaked and struggle fiercely, while this sort of things happen in the rear. Can you please have Hall Master to pay attention to this? Qiu Yonghao wrinkled his eyebrows, I got it. I will see to it that these matters are solved. Is there anything else you need the help of the Warrior Temple for? Long Haochen shook his head. Qiu Yonghao then revealed a smile, In that case, please let me offer you a gift. What? Long Haochen declined with haste, Senior, theres no need. The Warrior Temple already gave me a lot. The fact you are permitting me to use the Aria of the Goddess of Light is already the greatest gift I could wish for, to say nothing that I already took a piece of the heavenly meteorite. Qiu Yonghao revealed a somewhat mysterious smile, This is actually a secret about yourself. However, in this world, I am the only one to know. Long Haochen nced curiously at this old Temple Head. Chapter 384 - Sword Intent and Secrets (III)

Chapter 384: Sword Intent and Secrets (III)

Trantor: GravityTales In the morning, the Yue Ye Merchant Group slowly left the Southeastern Fort, and headed towards the demon territory. After obtaining the directives from the Warrior Temple, the inspection on the road became a lot more rxed. Long Haochen and hisrades were seated in a cart in the middle of the caravan. Finally returning to the demon territory, their mission started anew. But their frame of mind when facing demons was now totally different. If during theirst trip, they could be described as apprehensive or excited, now they were a lot more steady, and gained the self-confidence they didnt have before. The Yue Ye Caravan was rich and imposing, and the cart in which Long Haochens group resided looked the same as the one Yue Ye rode in, the first time they followed the caravan to the demon territory. The interior was spacious and warm. It even contained a table and a food storage inside, stocked with great quantities of food. Opening the window curtains, Long Haochen looked outside. Dawn came, and they exited the Southeastern Fort. Outside, the sky gradually lit up, though the weather wasnt so good, and it was drizzling. From the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen retrieved a map made of sheepskin, and spread it on the equally shared table. This map contained densely packed annotations and descriptions of all the circumstances in every demon province, the various demon ns residing in every province, as well as the locations of the demon gods. In all certainty, the officials from the Temple Alliance wouldnt have such a detailed map. This map was naturally obtained from Yue Ye, who gave it under the condition that Long Haochen wouldnt hand this map to the Alliance. Long Haochen pointed to a town in Nareiks Province on the map, This is the capital of Nareiks Province, and the ce where the Birdy Demons are stationed. Its where our first mission will need to bepleted. Approximately in the evening, the Yue Ye Caravan will reach the demon camp, if everything goes without a hitch. Tomorrow in the afternoon, the caravan will pass through Naduo City, the capital of the Nareiks Province. Since the incident, when the Yue Ye Caravan was ambushed thest time, the check of the demons in the Yue Ye Merchant Group became a lot more rxed. We should take this chance to go find and kill five Golden Birdy Demons andplete our first mission in Naduo City, before following the merchant group prating further inside the demon territory. Wang Yuanyuan asked, Captain, if we assassinate the Golden Birdy Demons after reaching Naduo City, wouldnt the merchant group be suspect? ording to the map, there should be a demon god watching the city. Long Haochen nodded, It will be bound to look suspect. However, even so, they wouldnt dare search the merchant group. And even if they search it, would they even find us? Right at this moment, he couldnt help but reveal a smile. Wang Yuanyuan immediately had a sh of realisation and nodded in response. The others also had smiles on their faces. Thats right! Spotting Long Haochens group wouldnt be an easy task. Why was it that Long Haochen dared epting sixteen missions, even including a challenging mission demanding to kill the 72nd demon god? The confidence in their strength aside, it was also because they had a survival method other Demon Hunt Squads didnt have, and that was the Tower of Eternity. When encountering strong enemies, they were easily able to avoid crossing their path. With a flicker of light, Long Haochens look became ice-cold, Okay, now the first n is settled. I will ask for the help of the people from the Yue Ye Merchant Group to make a stop at a certain location in the Golden Birdy Demons territory. Toplete the assassination as fast as possible, we will have to act separately. Caier and I will both take out one Golden Birdy Demon each. Lin Xin, you are forming a team with Han Yu. You will use the Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix to kill one Golden Birdy Demon while Han Yu will be providing support for you. And Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, you two will handle one Golden Birdy Demon each, with Chen Yinger supporting you. Yes. Everyone epted boisterously, showing excited expressions. After staying in seclusion for a year, they felt eager for action, and weed the chance to kill demons. And by facing so many of the Golden Birdy Demons in individual battles, they would all be able to test their progress. This was the first time they didnt have doubts when facing this kind of strong creatures, which proved their confidence. The process of entering the demon territory went without a hitch. Exactly as Long Haochen said, the Yue Ye Merchant Group was treated a lot better than in the Temple Alliance upon reaching the demon territory. Many of the demons knew already about Yue Yes rtionship to the crown prince of the Devil Dragons, the sole sessor of the Demon God Emperor, so who would dare inspect their caravan? This was to say nothing about the lesson the three demon gods that had assembled an army against the Yue Ye Merchant Group had been taught. As a result, now no matter where the merchant group went, they were unimpeded. This was also the reason why Long Haochen regarded the Yue Ye Merchant Group so highly. With this protective cover, they would be saved a lot of troubles. More importantly, the Yue Ye Merchant Group would provide them with a lot of information. At first nce, many of the sixteen missions looked very challenging, but with the help of the Yue Ye Merchant Group, their troubles were at least lessened by a third, which at the same time reduced the degree of danger. After smoothly passing the demon checkpoint, in the morning of the following day, the merchant group was already deep in the Nareiks Province, and exactly as Long Haochen estimated, they reached the capital of the Nareiks Province, Naduo City by mid-day. The merchant group temporarily rested here for an hour, before continuing their journey. To a group of frence merchants like the Yue Ye Merchant Group, the process of trading wouldnt lead them to stop at inns, as it would add up a lot to the expenses while reducing their efficiency. Thus, they carried tents in their carriages, making it so that they could rest wherever they stopped. Thus, after entering Naduo City, the pressing need was to replenish their supply of water and food, while providing Naduo City with goods for trading. This process took just one hour. Naduo City in itself was filled with some people from the Yue Ye Merchant Group, who made their preparations and were waiting for them long ago, to optimize their efficiency. Very quickly, the Yue Ye Merchant Group started their actions in Naduo City, roughly taking half an hour of time. While the merchant group handled their matters, they discreetly handed a ball of paper to Long Haochens group residing in their carriage. Long Haochen opened the ball of paper, finding a simple map of Naduo City, with five red dots marked on it. Long Haochen unfolded the map and had the whole group memorize it.and everyone quietly got off, heading in different directions. The manager was the person in charge of the Yue Ye Merchant Group on this trip, and one of Yue Yes confidants. Beforeing here, Long Haochen asked him to investigate the whereabouts of the Golden Birdy Demons, which he arranged to be prepared in advance. Thus, they immediately got the specific positions of the five Golden Birdy Demons right after entering the demon territory. This manager Yue Ye chose was originally a human spy ced in the Yue Ye Merchant Group, thus, they didnt fear encountering problems. Of course, he only knew vaguely about the identities of Long Haochens group as Demon Hunters, but he didnt know clearly which Demon Hunt Squad they were. Long Haochens seven were d almost identical: every one of them wore a cloak covering their whole body and a hat, concealing their appearance. These disguises were not rarely seen in the demon territory. On the contrary, they were quitemon, because the demon environment would get afflicted by sandstorms a lot more often than the Temple Alliance. High ss demons often chose to d themselves in those long cloaks. In the meantime, everyone in Long Haochens group used the imitation of the Moon Demons eyes to turn their own eyes purple. While preparing their course of actions, Long Haochens preparations were ingenious. Caier and he would cover opposite directions, while the other three targets were in the center. This way, in case some trouble arose, they would immediately be able toe to theirrades rescue. With the existence of the Soul Linking Chains, if one would sustain powerful attacks, they would naturally sense it. Long Haochen advanced at great speed. This was the first scattered operation of their group, so he was still secretly worried. Completing their own task before providing support to the others was the must-do for Caier and him. Following the map, Long Haochen headed eastwards. Although Naduo City was the capital of the Nareiks Province, it was not veryrge, and on the streets, therge majority of the passerbies were demons. Of course, ordinary low rank demons like Dual de Demons werent permitted to enter the city. When seeing the clothes of Long Haochens group and their human-shaped appearances, they kept far away from them, and fundamentally didnt dare approach. The reason was simple: only high grade demons would be human shaped, and able to dress the way Long Haochen did. And furthermore, demons senses would be most usually sharper than humans. Although they couldnt guess Long Haochens attributes, they faintly sensed that he was dangerous from him, making them subconsciously unwilling to get close to him. Very quickly, Long Haochen found his own target. The ce was a simple and crude restaurant, with the signboard outside already crooked. Although demons upied most areas of Shengmo Dalu, humans left a very deep influence on them, especially regarding human food, of which demons were very fond. The higher the rank of a demon, the more he would indulge in the pleasure of human beverages and food. Thus, human treatment changedpletelypared to the time demons first came to Shengmo Dalu at the beginning of the dark era six thousand years ago. Even the humans from the Temple Alliance who they were able to capture would be treated well, but of course, this was on the premise that these humans would pledge their allegiance. If a cook was seized, some demon nobles would actually appear personally to try to win him over. Nareiks Province was close to the border, but was extremely impoverished. Otherwise,st time, the three demon gods wouldnt have dared go against the rules by dispatching an army to ambush the Yue Ye Merchant Group. In this ce, even a small restaurant would be a ce only powerful demons would be qualified to enter. For instance, even in front of such a worn out restaurant, four stark ck traces were left on the signboard. This signified that only demons of the fourth step or above would be qualified to enter, and that was a symbol of the sses. Long Haochen slowly walked into the restaurant. Sweeping his eyes over the small room, he found his target in a nce. A Golden Birdy Demon was seated there, eating and drinking in the best seat of the restaurant. He had four dishes and a pitcher of wine in front of him. From this alone, one could see his high status and wealth. Because it was in the afternoon, the interior of the dining room was quite full, mostly with demons at the fourth and fifth step. The only one at the sixth step was this Golden Birdy Demon. And his golden skin made him quite conspicuous. Chapter 385 - A Journey of Slaughter to the South (I)

Chapter 385: A Journey of ughter to the South (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Inside the restaurant, the waiters were two humans, busy satisfying the wishes of their guests. Seeing Long Haochen enter, no one called out to him. Long Haochen advanced towards the Golden Birdy Demon. Arriving at the dining table, he lightly knocked on the wooden material. The Golden Birdy Demon was startled. He was eating and drinking well, but disturbed in the middle, he became obviously in quite a bad mood. However, when seeing Long Haochens face once he raised his head, he appeared shocked. In fact, Long Haochen had changed into a Moon Demon, making even the nsmen of the Moon Demon n unable to spot his disguise, to say nothing of this Golden Birdy Demon. Purple eyes, an iparably handsome face, these were all traits of Moon Demon n. Seeing the cold nce in Long Haochens eyes, he hurriedly stood up and tried to ask, You are? Long Haochen lifted a hand, showing the viscount Moon Demon insignia before looking him in the eye. He instructed, Come out with me. Seeing this insignia, the doubt in the eyes of the Golden Birdy Demon disappeared. Standing up with haste, he followed Long Haochen out of the restaurant. Around them, quite a lot of demons saw this scene, and didnt even dare gasp at the tension of the atmosphere. Although they didnt see Long Haochens face, seeing a great character like the Golden Birdy Demon taken aback, one might well imagine what kind of existence that person was. Leaving the restaurant, Long Haochen stopped his steps at the door of the restaurant. That Golden Birdy Demon asked very cautiously, Mister viscount, what do you have to tell me? Come here. Long Haochen waved him over with a cold voice. That Golden Birdy Demon hurriedly joined Long Haochens side, still feeling resentful from having to part with his meal. He was praying that Long Haochens talk would be simple so that he could return to finish his meal soon, otherwise the other guests would surely take advantage of his absence. Seeing the submissive Golden Birdy Demon before his eyes, Long Haochen revealed a cold nce, lifting his right hand to ce it on his shoulder, Are you aware of your crime? What? The Golden Birdy Demon raised his head, looking at Long Haochen with shock. Right at that moment, he became alert. Though, everything was already toote. Long Haochens right hand stuck a cold sh of sword intent in his neck, and right then, the eyes of the Golden Birdy Demon diluted. Was Long Haochens right hand so easily touched? It carried the Aria of the Goddess of Light! A surge of sword intent reached out for the brain of the Golden Birdy Demon and crushed it, which caused his sudden death. He didnt even have the time to scream. The fact that a powerhouse of the sixth step died like that in the hands of Long Haochen wasnt so much due to their difference of strength, but the crucial point was his convincing resemnce to a Moon Demon. His cloak spread out, blocking the line of sight of any passerbies, and with a golden glint, the corpse of the Golden Birdy Demon disappeared into the Eternal Melody. Not stopping for a bit, Long Haochen headed towards Lin Xin and Han Yu. Long Haochens fight didnt attract any attention as the battle was already over as soon as it began, but things werent as peaceful for hisrades. Noon was a very good time for Long Haochens action, because this was the time when demons had their meal. They were not the same as humans, and would only eat two meals a day, especially high ranking demons. Thus, all members of the 64th Demon Hunt Squad aimed fundamentally for the time of their meal. Although Lin Xins appearance was inferior to Long Haochens, he still had no problem to disguise himself as an ordinary Moon Demon, and at an even more vulnerable state than Long Haochens, because he found it right when the Golden Birdy Demon was about to have his meal on the roadside. From this, it could be seen that although demons were powerful regarding battle strength, in terms of economy and culture, they were clearly inferior to humans, since they were after all strangers to this world. In the Temple Alliance, seeing a powerhouse of the sixth step eating crouched on the street was almost impossible. The Golden Birdy Demon had a very simple meal, a big wok filled with some kind of meat stew or soup. The ground meat put inside and cooked thoroughly before being eaten. This one was apanied by four other Great Birdy Demons, eating along with him. Lin Xin and Han Yu exchanged a nce, and Han Yu nodded to him. A sh of blue light appeared in Lin Xins eyes, followed by the resonant sound of a phoenix cry, resounding in the street. Why were spiritual stoves powerful? This was because ordinary abilities would generally never be able to match one important aspect, their instant burst. Furthermore, almost all the abilities from spiritual stoves would gain in power as long as the user would gain in strength. These were the basic reasons that made people crave the power of spiritual stoves. When the immense Blue Fire Phoenix abruptly charged at the Golden Birdy Demon, all the demons on the street were stunned. That Golden Birdy Demon was after all a powerhouse at the sixth step, and noticing the danger, he immediately responded, using both of his hands to drag a Great Birdy Demon in front of him. while putting all his force into rushing his spiritual energy, letting a gaudy electric light curl up around him. However, the arrival of the Blue Fire Phoenix was really too sudden, and this was all he had the time to do. A cold smile was drawn on Lin Xins face, and the blue light filling his eyes became more intense. What followed was the sudden ascending of that Blue Fire Phoenix in the air, before a sudden descent. Actually, he just managed a rapid ascension in the air, before diving down fast. _Bang!_ An immense blue pir of fire descended from the sky, and the Blue Fire Phoenix instantly returned. In the mes, the four Great Birdy Demons were instantly reduced to ashes, and the Golden Birdy Demon roared as his body twitched violently. His massive body seemed to have almost instantly turned into a scorched ck mass. Such a terrible high temperature wasnt anything his body could withstand. Originally, even the Zombie King of the eighth step had been forced back by the Blue Fire Phoenix. A lofty figure quietly arrived at the back of the struggling Golden Birdy Demon right at that time. Lashing out with a golden red light, he brought the demons struggle to an end as his head fell down. The figure first carried and thenunched the head of the Golden Birdy Demon towards Lin Xin like a blue artillery shell. A blue me leaped up, instantly engulfing the head of that Golden Birdy Demon, before being extinguished, as the head was absorbed into a magic storing device. Lin Xin then turned around and left, followed by Han Yu after he quickly recovered his sword. In a sh, the two of them disappeared into an alley. From the instant Lin Xinunched the attack to the end of the battle, the whole process onlysted a few breaths. The assassination was carried out neatly, and they returned quickly after the end of the battle. Right at that time, Lin Xins face was extremely pale, and his fists clenched tightly. His whole body actually trembled slightly. However, he clenched his teeth and endured bitterly. Under Han Yus protection, he headed back to the caravan. After the constant training he went through in the time of seclusion, his ability to endure the bacsh of the spiritual stove actually increased a lot. The bacsh of the Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix was different from the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, which was almost impossible to resist. But conversely, resisting the bacsh of the Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix was a type of training for Lin Xin, and after attempting continuously, and learning through experience, his ability to bear the effects of the spiritual stove improved with time. Only this way would the spiritual stove get closer to its future evolution. Right when Lin Xin finished his battle, Sima Xians side alsopleted their part. The enemies Sima Xian was up against were somewhat more numerous than Lin Xin and Han Yus: they were six Great Birdy Demons and one Golden Birdy Demon eating together in a restaurant. Sima Xian wouldnt ambush the enemy like Long Haochen. After confirming the presence of the target in the restaurant, he entered and took out his evolved Energetic Ball of Light. Indoors, the dark golden Energetic Ball of Light emitted a terrible pressuring aura. Its thick iron chains had also gained in size, from ten meters to sixteen and a half. The massive metallic ball made terrible strident sounds, smashing against the Golden Birdy Demon. This Golden Birdy Demon felt something was off right when Sima Xian entered: the killing intent on him was just too dense. Thus, when Sima Xianunched his attack, he leapt up and attempted to evade the attack from the Energetic Ball of Light. In the meantime, a golden lightning spear appeared in his hand, and the six Great Birdy Demons threw themselves at him at great speed, attacking Sima Xian from different directions. Sima Xians right hand held onto that metallic chain and shook it in a sh, actually stirring it up this way and making it follow the Golden Birdy Demon. This was after all a restaurant. While not giving the Golden Birdy Demon much room for flight. All he could do was to incline his body while letting his spear burst out like a golden lightningunched against the Energetic Ball of Light. However, when the innate lightning unleashed by the Golden Birdy Demon came into contact with the Energetic Ball of Light, it disappeared in a sh, just as if it was sucked in. Next, the Golden Birdy Demon felt a massive power descend on him, and, left without choice, could only use the spear in his hand to defend himself. But right at this time, those six Great Birdy Demonsunched themselves at Sima Xian, pointing their spears at him. Go to hell! Sima Xian roared loudly, and an immense white pir of light abruptly burst out against his opponents, enveloping the weapons of those six Great Birdy Demons in its range. A terrible scene emerged. The Six Great Birdy Demons were immediately set ame with a white fire, screaming as they fell to the ground. Their spears indeed hit Sima Xians body, but only managed to pierce his cloak. This was Holy Spirit, a technique of offensive armor used by priests of the sixth step. Consuming an enormous amount of spiritual energy, it woulde with extra powerful purifying effects. Seeking for efficient cleaning, Sima Xian immediatelyunched this powerful ability. At the same time he killed the six Great Birdy Demons, the Golden Birdy Demon was already hit with the Energetic Ball of Light. _Bang._ Without suspense, his spear broke into pieces, and more terrifyingly, the Golden Birdy Demon flew along with the trajectory of the Energetic Ball of Light, directly causing the explosion of the roof. The Golden Birdy Demon was unexpectedly not sent flying by the attack, but was stuck to the Energetic Ball of Light. It could be clearly seen that some purple substance was entangled with the Energetic Ball of Light. Immediately, with the loud _Bang bang bang_ triple sound, three purple balls of light exploded in session against the Golden Birdy Demon. And then, nothing was left of him. A gold colored magical crystal surrounded by electricity was stuck close to the Energetic Ball of Light, and with a pull on the chain, Sima Xian retrieved it. The Energetic Ball of Light returned to his hand as he turned around and left, while not even ashes were left of that Golden Birdy Demon. Chapter 386 - A Journey of Slaughter to the South (II)

Chapter 386: A Journey of ughter to the South (II)

Trantor: GravityTales This was the result from the terriblebined power of the Gigantic Ball of Light and the Godly Purple Light. The three brute force focused abilities Crush, Smash, and Absorption erupted. In regard of raw power, in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, as long as Long Haochen wouldnt use Storing Power and Caier wouldnt use the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, no one could surpass Sima Xian. Even Lin Xins Blue Phoenix Spiritual Stove was still below the Energetic Ball of Light regarding instant power. During this operation, the one who took the longest time was Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian had simr battle styles; after she found her target, she attacked with the Divine Soul Shield. However, the Golden Birdy Demon she faced was different from the others; the wings on his back emitted a dark golden luster. After seeing this Golden Birdy Demon, Wang Yuanyuan memorized his position, turned around and concealed herself. equipped the Divine Soul Shield, before activating the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate. With a sh of silver light, she appeared right behind that Golden Birdy Demon, and violently swept the Divine Soul Shield horizontally, which was embedded with four spatial crystals. In Wang Yuanyuans opinion, this sudden attack should have cut this Golden Birdy Demon in two. However, the response of this special Golden Birdy Demon was actually iparably quick. The instant Wang Yuanyuan appeared at his back,unching her attack, the wings on the back of this Golden Birdy Demon were abruptly pped backwards, colliding with the Divine Soul Shield. Not trying to force her way, she made use of the powerful offensive strength of the Divine Soul Shield to leap back. Ka, ka. That Golden Birdy Demon let out a scream, seeing the two wings on his back beingpletely broken. In the end, the Divine Soul Shield still had some effect on him, and a mouthful of bluish purple blood started to leak from his mouth. Flying forward, he took out a lightning spear glowing in a faint dark golden color. Wang Yuanyuan was startled, _So it actually didnt die from this?_ Still, she obviously wouldnt stop at such a time. Abruptly spreading out her own spiritual wings, she dashed towards the Golden Birdy Demon, again striking with the Divine Soul Shield. That Golden Birdy Demon was at a loss because Wang Yuanyuans attack was too sudden. Using the instant teleportation of the Spatial Gate Spiritual Stove, she didnt give him any room for an effective counter-attack. Being a Birdy Demon, having both his wings broken was arge blow to him, because it stripped him from the ability to fly. Ding. The lightning spear hit the Divine Soul Shield with a piercing blow, and the tyrannical electric spiritual energy from it numbed Wang Yuanyuan. If this had been her previous self, she would have lost the impulse to attack from this. However, the current Wang Yuanyuan possessed an external spiritual energy surpassing the Golden Birdy Demons by far. How could she be stopped only with a bit of numbness. The offense from the Divine Soul Shield didnt change. Bending forward, she kicked her left foot at the spear and struck her shield against the Golden Birdy Demon. However, the Divine Soul Shield ended up with a pierced bit, and glinted with silver light. Roaar. This Golden Birdy Demon was indeed quite out of the ordinary. In such a dangerous situation, with a loud roar, his whole body erupted with a lightning storm. A tyrannical electric torrent spread in all directions, giving his body a carbonized look. But the strength of this blow still only came from someone at the sixth step. The Golden Birdy Demons Kuli n was not led by any demon god, and thus, only belonged to the demons middle ss. The most powerful n members were the Golden Birdy Demons. However, for Golden Birdy Demons there only existed a small probability of evolution. With a chance of roughly one out of hundred to reach the seventh step, they could evolve to be Dark Golden Birdy Demons. And in the whole Kuli n, there currently wasnt even a total of a hundred Golden Birdy Demons. It would be unknown whether Wang Yuanyuans luck was good or bad, to have actually met a Golden Birdy Demon who already started evolving, thus making him a lot stronger than ordinary Golden Birdy Demons. But it still didntplete its evolution to the dark golden level. Thus, it was still only a powerhouse at the peak of the sixth step. Speaking of which, this Golden Birdy Demon was also quite out of luck. If they really had a fierce open battle, even though Wang Yuanyuan would have killed him in the end, the battle surely would have taken a long time. And this Naduo City was under the protection of a demon god, so even if this iplete Dark Golden Birdy Demon ended up being no match for her, he could still possibly have run or waited for reinforcements. But unfortunately, he met with the user of the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate. Having lost the ability of flight, even if he really had been at the Dark Golden Birdy level, what could he have done? The all out burst attack of this iplete Dark Golden Birdy Demon was indeed powerful, and Wang Yuanyuan felt her whole body be numb. This kind of all epassing attack couldnt be evaded by the use of any technique, but at the same time the burst of this Golden Birdy Demon erupted, the silver light from Wang Yuanyuans shield also leashed out. As early as when her shield struck the enemy, the ability was alreadyunched, Space Splitting Saut. Backed up by four silver space crystals, the Divine Soul Shield now reached the Legendary Tier. And abilities carried by Legendary Equipment were just as powerful as one might imagine. Wang Yuanyuans body was surrounded by electricity. She stood in the same ce, in a state of numbness, while that iplete Dark Golden Birdy Demon was violently repelled. In his chest was arge hole, and although he wasnt dead yet, he fell to the ground, unable to fly. Right at that time, intense light and dark shadows enfolded, and the iplete Dark Golden Birdy Demon was powerless in front of it. Getting sunk into darkness instantly, it was struck with power. With a brilliant glint, the corpse disappeared, and a sweet figure appeared near Wang Yuanyuan. She pulled her hand, and the two of them rapidly disappeared in the alley. An ear piercing strident sound rapidly echoed through Naduo City, and the whole city was red up. Arge battalion of the demon army started to search everywhere in the city. Even with the Kuli ns status as one of the leaders of the Nareiks Province, four Golden Birdy Demons actually ended up assassinated, and another Golden Birdy Demon went missing. It only took an instant for Naduo City to react. The demon god in charge of the city immediately gave the order to close the gates of the city and search for human spies. The instant the order was transmitted to close the citys gates, the Yue Ye Merchant Group happened to be on the verge of leaving the city. Given how the Yue Ye Merchant Group ended up being ambushed during theirst trip through the Nareiks Province, which had roused the fury of the Demon God Emperor who had yet to bepletely appeased, the Yue Ye merchant group was still allowed to leave. They passed the city gates even after the demon god ordered them closed, after being carefully inspected. It would have been strange if they had found anything. Right after reuniting, six of them immediately hid in the Tower of Eternity, while Long Haochen disguised as a manservant andpletely suppressed his presence and aura. His youth became his greatest disguise. After the merchant group smoothly left the city, he summoned hisrades back. Once they reunited, everyone was on cloud nine, with only Lin Xin looking in a somewhat bad shape due to the bacsh of his spiritual stove. The first mission isplete. We killed five Golden Birdy Demons and recovered their magical crystals, which will grant us a reward of 30,000 contribution points. If the magical crystals arent delivered, the reward will only consist of 10,000 contribution points. Long Haochen was also in a very good mood. While trying out their skills, theypleted their firstmander grade mission as a Demon Hunt Squad. And this was done only two days after leaving the Temple Alliance. Of course, the mission of killing five Golden Birdy Demons could be considered a rtively simple one among the stack they took. The Yue Ye Merchant Groups journey was still headed to the southeast, directly towards the Central Province. The reason was that this was the most bustling ce, where goods could be sold at the best prices. The 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad followed the merchant group deep into the demon territory, and with the map and information provided,bined with the assistance of the Yue Ye Merchant Group, theypleted five sessive missions. Of course, they wouldnt act every time the Yue Ye Merchant Group would stop, since this behavior would too easily turn the Yue Ye Merchant Group into suspects. They would generally stop at one city with the Yue Ye Merchant Group, and regroup with them after thepletion of their mission in the city. This time was filled with more fears than dangers, and they didnt meet any true difficulties. A third of their sixteen missions were alreadypleted, when the Yue Ye Merchant Group entered the Central Province also came the time they would have to part with them. This wasnt because they didnt have any targets in the Central Province, but because Long Haochen made the decision to go by order of difficulty,pleting the simpler missions first before heading for the Central Province. Watching the departing merchant group, Long Haochen said, For the following course of action, we will only be able to rely on ourselves. Lets head for our next target, the Jacques Province. Lets go! The Jacques Province was north of the demons Central Province, bordering it directly. The area was inhabited by a demon n known as Jacques n, providing the provinces name. The Jacques n was just like the Birdys Kuli n, without a demon god amongst their ranks, and their nsmen were known as Jacques Demons. The ones in the upper ranks could be considered as powerful close-quarters fighters, but because they werent numerous, few would be sent to the battlefield. Generally, they remained in the Jacques Province, surrounding and protecting the Central Province. Long Haochens group was on the verge of starting their seventh mission, entailing the killing a hundred Jacques Demons. Jacques Demons were rather low rank powerhouses, but often acted as a group. In their n, the most powerful ones were at the eighth step, and their ranked officers mostly were at the sixth step. Completing this mission wouldnt be easy; at least it would be harder than the missions theypleted so far on this trip. The Jacques Demons as a whole only numbered five or six thousand. To stay unnoticed from the chief of the Jacques ns and kill a hundred Jacques Demons without their intervention wouldnt be easy. The difficulty increased by a level as they wouldnt have the help from the Yue Ye Merchant Group this time, and had to rely on their own for everything. ording to the map, it would take them less than half a day to reach and enter the Jacques Province. The area wasnt much different from the other provinces under demon control, thend was very poor and infertile, and farnd was very rare. Long Haochen tightened hisrge cloak, and told Caier, We will be continuing to the south for two or three days before making it into the capital, Major Jacques City, of the Jacques Province. It seemed that all the Jacques nsmen will be concentrated in the city: this is a good thing for our operation, but will make it somewhat moreplicated to get away. After the mission isplete, we will turn east, heading for the next mission. Chapter 387 - A journey of slaughter to the south (III)

Chapter 387: A journey of ughter to the south (III)

Caier asked, Should we also kill the chiefs of the Jacques n? That would be at least a king grade mission. Whenpleting a mission of superior grade, we would receive even better rewards. Long Haochen shook his head, We cant. That would be too dangerous. We currently have no certainty to win against a powerhouse at the eighth step. And starting from the eighth step, every rank would produce a veryrge gap. A powerhouse standing at the peak of the eighth step will at least reach 100,000 units of spiritual energy, and is far from what we can take on. We should go for the dependable way andplete the mission as fast as possible before withdrawing from the Jacques Province. The others didnt have anyints about Long Haochen going for the safe way. Taking the least amount of risk possible unless necessary, even if their strength had taken a qualitative leap, he remained very prudent as a captain. While they were speaking, rumbling sounds rang out in front of them. Because of the sand in the air, they couldnt clearly see what kinds of demons were in front of them, but from the sound, they were only at a few kilometers away and also quite numerous. Hide! Long Haochen lifted his hand, shing to a side while looking for a dune to hide behind. Without need for any words, Caier disappeared calmly, entering the invisible state to scout in the direction of the sound. Scouting was originally the first duty of an assassin. Captain, want to scare them witless? Sima Xian showed a smile, the Energetic Ball of Light already in his hand. On this trip to the demon territory, the most dazzling of all was him. With the Energetic Ball of Light, he killed quite a few demon powerhouses including even a demon of the seventh step. Although that demon of the seven step was pinned down by the others at that time, Sima Xian took only one blow to ensure the kill, proving again the terrifying level of power his Energetic Ball of Light currently possessed. Long Haochen waved his hand, saying, Lets see from which ns these demons are and how many they are. No need to rush in blindly. Because the sandstorm was too strong, their faces were covered with veils. With the further addition of the sand-colored cloaks on them, after lying low, even from the sky they wouldnt be found easily. A short timeter, Caier returned to them, the spiritual wings on her vanishing. She said in a low voice to Long Haochen, Thats the Jacques n. They are chasing after a Demon Hunt Squad. What? People from our side? Long Haochen was startled. Caier nodded, The Jacques n dispatched an army of at least one thousand demons. They are led by two powerhouses from the Jacques n, and the Jacques Officers number at least thirty or forty. The Demon Hunt Squad they are chasing should be at the king grade, fighting back while trying to retreat. But from their looks, things arent going well for them. Thats because none of them uses their spiritual wings. Theres a kind of purple liquid on them, and if this continues, Im afraid things will not end well for them. I vaguely saw that a kind of purplish ck figure was hovering in the sky, following the Jacques n from above. That purplish ck substance very possibly came from it, and should carry the effect of preventing the use of spiritual wings. The gazes of theirrades all fell on Long Haochen, and their current predicament was: To save or not to save. Without a doubt, the Jacques n army was extremely powerful. With two Jacques Chiefs leading them, the other side shouldnt have any opportunity to fight back. But the enemies were chasing for the kill of a king grade Demon Hunt Squad. Long Haochen turned around, looking at his ownrades, By saving them, we will very possibly face a very big danger, but if we dont intervene, our fellow soldiers will very possibly die here. What do you think? Boss, lets do it. Sima Xian was the first to reply, expressing a very strong fighting intent. Everyone else nodded sessively to Long Haochen. Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, and said, Caier, well leave that one in the air to you. If Im not guessing wrong, that should be a Demon Holder, an aerial demon powerhouse of the sixth step specialized in support. This Demon Holder isnt strong by itself, but extremely annoying, because it can spread its mucus over arge area. When infected, purging it is very hard, and it will cause the loss of the ability to release spiritual wings while greatly decreasing the overall speed. They are important supportive forces of the demons. Youll be getting rid of it before reuniting with us, while ensuring a path for retreat. After killing the Demon Holder, well act from our side. Attacking the enemy from the nks, well not be meeting them head-on. Giving our fellow soldiers the opportunity to retreat will suffice. After the matter is over, well be escape by flying away. Within the Jacques n, only powerhouses of the sixth step or above are capable of flight. The only ones able to give us trouble would be those two Jacques Leaders at the eighth step. Everyone, listen to my instructions. If need be, Ill separate from you, and youll follow Haoyue. Then I can return to your sideter through teleporting. As long as we are given the time tounch the teleportation through the Eternal Melody, well stay absolutely safe. No one is to zealously continue fighting, understood? Yinger, youll Then, he gave specific instructions to Chen Yinger. He had no choice but to make his ns clear, otherwise, given the feelings of hisrades and himself, it was unsure whether theyd let him go by himself when he wanted to separate from them. Caier nodded and her ck spiritual wings appeared once again. Her figure pierced through the skies in a sh as her body was already in the state of invisibility. After reaching the sixth step of cultivation Caier could make the best use of the Ne of Invisibility. When shebined its effect with her technique of invisibility, she could remain invisible even at great flight speed. In this state, she would absolutely have no fear when scouting as long as the enemies were inferior to her in cultivation. Long Haochen had absolute confidence in Caier, and the Demon Holder was only a demon at the sixth step. Without any additional assistance, it was quite weak. Right when Long Haochen finished coordinating their deployment, the distant rumbles were growing more and more distinct, and the air filled with yellow dust. Long Haochens group could only roughly see some figures flying forward. Soon, their equipped spears came into sight one after another. In the meantime, ear-piercing splitting sounds filled the air. The Jacques Demons looked simr to centaurs. Their upper bodies resembled those of humans, but their chests and backs were covered with ck scales. Their faces however were only a bit longer than those of humans, and looked very fierce. The lower part of their bodies was very simr to horses, including four stamping hooves. They were experts in using spears, and capable of throwing a spear over a long distance. The situation of those humans escaping from them looked horrible. A knight acted as their rear guard together with his powerful mount, an Earth Dragon exceeding seven meters in size. One bolt of golden light after another lit up his body, resisting the great majority of the attacks from their pursuers. The others were riding different kinds of magical beasts while advancing. Those were mounts summoned by their summoner. And like this, they desperately kept escaping. Although the ordinary Jacques Demons were unable of flight, every one of them carried at least four spears, constantly tossing them at the fleeing enemy, before picking them up again . The demons with wings on their backs were Jacques Officers. The ones above them were two extremely tall Jacques Demons reaching a height over three meters, and although they only had one spear in hand, it was exceedingly immense and would create a thundering sound at every blow. The Earth Dragon of that human knight was already heavily wounded, but he remained really valiant. With the healing from the priest, the backing from the mage and the harassment of the enemy from the nks, he managed to forcibly block the assault led by those two Jacques Chiefs at the eighth step. At closer look, one could tell that the knight was d in an extraordinary mythril armor, and every time the enemys attack wouldnd, he was unharmed. That was a Mythril Foundation Armor, making him a Mythril Foundation Armored Knight! Demon Hunt Squads were the greatest elites among humans, and the king grade Demon Hunt Squads were the cream of the crop. The step from themander grade to the king grade represented a fundamental leap. Additionally to the need to umte a million contribution points to ascend, rising to this grade was very hard. Although this Mythril Foundation Armored Knight didnt yet have the strength of the eighth step, he still reached at least the peak of the seventh step. Using thebination of a heavy sword and a heavy shield in his hands, his strength was quite something. The front line from the Jacques Demons was still chasing after the king grade Demon Hunt Squad as they were close to reaching the dune concealing Long Haochens group. Long Haochen gestured towards Chen Yinger. Chen Yinger nodded her head and immediately sat cross legged on the ground, starting the chant of an incantation. An illusory looking soft white radiance revolved around her. It spiraled outwards, and in that soft light, Chen Yinger lookedpletely immersed into a fantastic vortex. The reason why she didnt take the initiative to use her magic before, was out of fear that those two Jacques Chiefs of the eighth step would discover it, but now, no one could stop her anymore. Meanwhile, with a glint of silver light, Haoyues massive body appeared at their side, and Han Yu also summoned his own Demonic Eye. Long Haochen raised his head and looked into the sky. With a mournful shriek, a plump figure appeared, belonging to a huge monster with six wings, reaching at least a size of five meters. If not for these six wings, it would perhaps be unable to fly at all, and that massive body would directly fall to the ground upon trying. McDull, go. Long Haochen gave a low shout. The little pig McDull was extremely fast, swallowing a magical crystal before jumping up. His small eyes glinted and locked on that Demon Holder lying dead on the ground. Immediately afterwards, with a strong purple ck radiance, McDull lept to the sky, and rapidly changed appearance, taking the shape of a Demon Holder. Go! Long Haochen shouted loudly before the four wings on his back appeared. pping them once, he charged forward like a bullet. Meanwhile, the others were all on Haoyues broad back, with only Chen Yinger left behind, still chanting. He rapidly approached the army of Jacques Demons from their left side. The response of the Jacques Army didnt take long, and upon discovering them, several dozens Jacques Demons swerved to meet the new enemy. Turning to theirteral side, they threw their spears towards Long Haochen. With a sudden burst of dazzling golden light, Long Haochen elerated like a golden meteor, and in the meanwhile, wide expanses of golden light burst out from his back, aiming at the Jacques Demons. Without using the Glorious Holy Shield, the current Long Haochen carried the Rippling Light in his left, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand, which pierced the enemies like a golden god of death. Every thrown spear was reduced to dust in front of its domineering light essence. Chapter 388 - Powerful 64th Squad

Chapter 388: Powerful 64th Squad

Yating already appeared behind Long Haochen, andunched her light magic just like before. The Jacques Demons deserved being called a powerful demon type at close range, still, no matter whether it was at close range or at a distance, they were tough opponents. Ten Jacques Demons immediately met Long Haochen. Long Haochen was aiming to get this resolved quickly and even hoped toplete their mission right here. Therefore, he naturally didnt have any reservations. He swung the two heavy swords,unching Ripples of Light with Light Thorn. Right at this moment, one could see that the two swords were different, yet had themon point of possessing a very intense sword intent. However, the Light Thorn from the Rippling Lights in his left hand only killed three Jacque Demons, while the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand emitted a ten meters long terrifying de of light, sweeping the enemies like the wind. At least a dozen Jacques Demons were cut off by this mere blow. Let alone the enemies, even Long Haochen himself didnt expect the Aria of the Goddess of Light to have such a great burst power. During theirtest missions, they didnt get caught into any crowded battles like this, thus Long Haochen only got to learn now that the divine sword actually reached such a terrifying level of power. In normal times, the Aria of the Goddess of Light could release a de of light of two meters length, but this was without the help of the pure light element inserted by Long Haochen. After this divine sword got sealed, many people had tried to undo its seal without sess. Even a powerhouse of the ninth step had failed and left in low spirits, but why was that? This was because the requirement for the release of the seal was not a massive amount of light elemental spiritual energy but an iparably pure spiritual energy of the light element. With the backing from the overflowing sword intent, Long Haochen was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. Once again pping the wings on his back, he made his way into the enemy lines and immediately burst out like a tyrannical golden spiral in the midst of the Jacques Demons. Retribution Knight skill of the seventh step, Storm of des. Although Long Haochen wasnt yet at the seventh step of cultivation, his capacity as a gods chosen one still permitted him to use reasonably powerful skills of the seventh step, because his spiritual energy was backed by Yating with her full strength. Right now, if one paid careful attention, they would see that at the back of the rapidly whirling Long Haochen, Yating was keeping herself close to him, absorbing great amounts of the spiritual energy in the air before pouring it inside Long Haochens body. Storm of Swords was a powerful ability which affected arge area. It could be called an upgraded version of the warriors Tornado Strike. With a stronger spiritual energy and a stronger weapon, it would gain in power as well. When using this ability, Long Haochen turned everything in an area of thirty meters into an ocean of gold, instantly reducing two dozen Jacques Demons to broken pieces, entangled in the golden light. With a resonant bellow, Haoyues massive figure was dashing forward. Sweeping his massive tail, he brazenly sent several Jacques Demons flying to the sky. Then, his fourth head acted in the same way as the Great Magic Cannon from a fort, continuouslyunching one spell after another, all bursting in session. Han Yu, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan jumped from Haoyues back. Sima Xian was in the front, blocking the enemies in front of Haoyue to let himunch a smooth magic assault. Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuan were on his left and right side. Lin Xin didnt use any powerful offensive spell, and acted as a defender, creating one fire shield after another with a lightning speed, helping everyone to resist the attacks from the enemies. This was their first crowd battle ever since entering the demon territory this time, and seeing Long Haochens intense bursts of power, everyone was filled with confidence. This was also the first time they burst out with their whole power. Even without the use of the Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder, Sima Xians terrible golden ball shattered everything into pieces with even more power than Long Haochens Storm of des. And furthermore, dont forget that he wasnt using any abilities! The Energetic Ball of Light and his own brutal strength were all he relied on. In Wang Yuanyuans hand, the Divine Soul Shield swirled all around. There was no need to embed any of the spatial crystals, because none of the Jacques Demons could resist the blows from her Divine Soul Shield. On the other side, Han Yu also showed an intrepid performance. Everything in the range of his Wild Scarlet Blood sword at the Legendary Tier copsed, immersed in blood colored light. Only a short time right after they attacked the enemy ranks, more than a hundred Jacques Demons died. In other words, their mission was sessfully cleared. Long Haochens group made an extremely sudden appearance, and it was only now that the Jacques Demons retaliated. The two Jacques Chiefs leading them shouted. Behind them, the dozen Jacques Officers of the sixth step led the army back to regroup and attacked Long Haochens group, while these two Jacques Chiefs kept pursuing the king grade Demon Hunt Squad. Undoubtedly, these two Jacques Chiefs were very quick to react, and pretty good in adjusting to battlefield conditions, but they were also underestimating Long Haochens group. Actually, they were not the only ones to underestimate the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad: even Long Haochens group was underestimating themselves. In their minds, powerhouses of the fourth step would at least withstand one of their attacks, but after the real start of the battle, they discovered that these Jacques Demons of the fourth step were like paper in front of them Their one year of seclusion brought a lot of changes to the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. With the great strengthening of their external spiritual energy and the steady advance of their internal spiritual energy, as well as their steady attitude and the spiritual stoves acquired by everyone, they were nowparable to a new Demon Hunt Squad of the king grade. Little me belched out an Exploding Fireball of one meter diameter. He aimed at the distance with a loud bang, and bathed one more dozen Jacques Demons in an ocean of fire. Without pause, Little Green kept puffing out one Wind Edge after another. But the difference from Little Fire was that although Little Greensunched spells werent really that powerful, they had the size of eyes, and every Wind Edge would find a Jacques Demon and aim at their vitals. Little Light was releasing golden light, connecting himself with Long Haochen to constantly pour his light element energy into Long Haochens body through Brilliant World. Little Blue raised his head with some pride, the horn on his head glinting in faint white light as he spoutedrge numbers of Ice Cones at the surroundings. This was not only effective in killing and wounding the enemies, but also reduced their speed. It could be said that at his current state, Haoyue could be considered the same as four mages, all of them at the sixth step. Under these circumstances, while awaiting the dozen Jacques Demons of officer rank, the casualties among the ordinary Jacques Demons already surpassed two hundred, and were increasing fast. After rushing in to kill the enemy, Long Haochen was now back at the side of hisrades. Seeing the dozen of Jacques Officers charge at them, he let out a cold snort and met them head on atrge strides. A ck figure appeared at his side right then. Turning his head, Long Haochen saw Caier and lightly nodded to her. The two of them went almost hand in hand, to kill that dozen Jacques Officers. Purplish ck liquid suddenly scattered in the air, but this time, it was not directed against the members of the Demon Hunt Squads. It uratelynded on those two Jacques Chiefs of the eighth step as well as the Jacques Officers whose numbers exceeded twenty. Their speed declined rapidly, and their wings lost their functionality. The original advantage of speed of those powerful Jacques Demons disappeared in a sh. Houu. Filled with disbelief, the Jacques Chiefs raised their heads to look at the sky, seeing that an immense purplish ck figure was preparing a second batch of mucus spray. This was naturally the little pig McDull in transformed shape, who gained the ability of the Demon Holder through his adaptability, andunched this attack from the air. The Jacques Chief on the left side pointed his hand to the sky, and a pitch-ck radiance soared upwards, aiming directly at the little pig McDull. But an instantter, disturbing effects were produced in the sky, and with an ear-piercing hissing sound, the sky became all dark. With a sudden burst of gaudy golden light, a tough Holy Fire shed against that ck shot, and although it didnt annihte itpletely, it caused the loss of its locking effects. The oneunching it was that knight from the king grade Demon Hunt Squad. McDull originally became all stiff from being locked on by that Jacques Chief of the eighth step, and transformed back, running off, but suddenly sensed the pressure disappearing. His fat figure twisted in the air, and immediately dodged the attack. This evading ability was acquired through training by the red skeleton known as the Twelfth Holy Guard. With a puff, another thick dark liquid was directed this time at the Jacques Army on the other side. Stamping on the ground with his left foot, Long Haochen lept at flying speed and aimed a thrust with the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand against a Jacques Officer, shing against his spear. An overwhelming scene urred: right when the Jacques Officer was resisting the Aria of the Goddess of Light, the pearl on its tip produced a sound of destruction and immediately afterwards, a myriad of glints erupted towards this Jacques Officer. Even with the scales on him and the strong backing of his darkness spiritual energy, when the Aria of the Goddess of Lightunched a Demon Wiping sh, how could he resist it? His body became a sieve of blood a secondter. Soaring in the sky, Long Haochen lightly pped with the spiritual wings on his right side, turned in the air, and shed through this Jacques Officer. Waving the two heavy swords in his hands, heunched Asura Strikes from both swords. After such a long time of cultivation, he could finallyunch the powerful ability Asura Strike with only one hand. Whileunching this blow, a severe white glow spread out from the midst of his body, enveloping more than a dozen Jacques Officers in it. However, this ability wasntunched by Long Haochen, but came from Yating who had been chanting for a really long time. Light spell of the seventh step, Holy Intimidation. For the light fairy Yating,unching a spell one rank above was nothing much, only required a little more time. If this spell was directed at ordinary enemies, it would only temporarily put them in a state of shock while causing light elemental damage, preventing them from moving for two seconds and no more. However, when Holy Intimidation was aimed at enemies of the darkness element, its might would increase severalfold, especially against enemies of inferior strength, producing extreme effects. One could clearly see that all the Jacques Officers were ignited with a white fire, and their group that was about to encircle Long Haochen and Caier shrieked. Their bodies twitched violently as they sunk in a dizzy state due to the extreme effects of intimidation. If one looked down from a certain height, he would see that right after the eruption of the white glint, a golden and a ck figure passed through the crowd like shadows, and next, one corpse after another fell to the ground. All the thirty Jacques Officers of the sixth step were wiped out. The golden and the ck figure met, and Long Haochen and Caier stared at each other. Perfectly mirroring the shock on their counterparts face. Although they hadplete confidence in their ability of getting rid of those Jacques Officers, they didnt actually expect it to go that smoothly. Even without the magic assistance from Yating, they wouldnt have faced much difficulty. But with her spell, killing these Jacques Officers became as simple as to kill ordinary Jacques Demons. For any army who lost a quarter of their troops while the enemy didnt suffer any losses, preserving the will to fight wasnt easy. Against the tyrannical offensive from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, the army of Jacques Demons was finally routed and started escaping in all directions. At this time, the two Jacques Chiefs of the eighth step were in a state of shock, while getting caught in an inescapable predicament. Of course, Long Haochens group wouldnt go chase after these ordinary Jacques Demons. From the beginning, they only went after the powerhouses from the Jacques n to rescue their fellow mates. However, against their expectations, they defeated the army of Jacques Demons, to the point that those escapees didnt even pay heed to their chiefs, solely being preupied with their escape. Situations like this would actually almost never ur for soldiers of the Temple Alliance. On the other side, the king grade Demon Hunt Squad stopped their escape, and faced the attacks from these powerful Jacques Demons. In this team, the most powerful ones were the Mythril Foundation Armored Knight and the summoner. Thanks to the summoner who spent great expenses of spiritual energy to bring forth all those summons, they withstood the attacks from these Jacques Demon powerhouses, and made a pincer attack in cohesion with Long Haochens group. The two Jacques Chiefs of the eighth step let out snarls after snarls without pause, gathering the routed army, while one of them led six Jacques Officers to face Long Haochens group. Firm formation! Long Haochen shouted loudly, about to face the powerhouses of the eighth step. This was his second time facing a powerhouse of the eighth step, so they obviously didnt keep a scattered formation like before. Yating floated in the sky right over Little Lights head, chanting an incantation along with him, and poured powerful spiritual energy of the light element into Long Haochen. Meanwhile, the whole 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad acted. Their eyes only reflected a single target, the Jacques Chiefs. As for those Officers at the sixths tep, what were they inparison? Chapter 389 - Long Haochen at his most powerful state (I)

Chapter 389: Long Haochen at his most powerful state (I)

Right at this time, in the little hills nearby, three different beasts appeared. Two were at the fifth rank and one at the seventh rank, and these three magical beasts arrived in a mad rush at the same time. Closing in to this side of the battlefield, Chen Yinger was seated on the back of one of the magical beasts of the fifth rank. Before, it was for the sake of creating a diversion that Long Haochen urged her to use the Creature Summoning Gate. In case they managed the rescue, Chen Yingers summons would create a diversion for Long Haochen and the others to escape, relying on McDull who transformed into a Demon Holder to restrict them from flying away. However, no one expected the battle to turn out this way. The army of a thousand Jacques Demons crumbled under their attacks, causing rapid changes on the battlefield. Since Chen Yinger clearly saw the situation of the battlefield, she naturally didnt fall behind and brought her summoned beasts to regroup with the others, joining the battle. The eighth step was still the eighth step, and although the Jacques Chief was affected by the mucus from the Demon Holder, his response remained very quick. Galloping on his four hoofs, he directly rushed towards Long Haochens group of six. While he advanced, a ck halo spread under his feet. One ck halo after another spread, and his scales gained a pitch-ckyer of gloom. Tiny ck mes started to burn on his body, igniting that annoying mucus, while increasing the vigor of the Jacques Chief. In his hand he carried a pitch-ck spear. Once his distance from Long Haochens group was close to fifty meters, the Jacques Chief let out a snarl towards the sky. A faint ck shade spread from his back, widening just like a ck hole that engulfed everything. Turning halfway, he lunged his right arm with the spear backwards, before throwing it at Long Haochens group fiercely. Strangely, this ck spear clearly flew towards them, yet that Jacques Chief still kept the main body of the spear in his hand. Be careful, thats Tyrannical Extermination. From afar, the knight from the king grade Demon Hunt Squad shouted loudly, but he didnt have the time to look after someone else and was unable to provide aid to Long Haochens side. To avoid getting injured, the two Jacques Chiefs actually didnt go all out before, but the situation changed when their subordinates got crushed that easily. These two powerhouses of the eighth step were both set on fire by that sight. Although their position among demons was not as majestic as that of demon gods, as the first and the second chief of the Jacques n, they almost ruled the whole Jacques Province. Although the Jacques Province was the smallest province in the demon territory, it was still one of the twenty four provinces. To be reduced to such a sorry state by a dozen humans, and with the great amount of casualties among their subordinates, it would be rather strange to see these chiefs stay calm. The instant that pitch-ck spear was thrown, the sky suddenly darkened, and even the sandstorm was dispersed. It felt as if it had the might of Asura Strike while it affected an evenrger area. The terrifyingly intense pressure gave everyone the chill, and created the threatening feeling that this Tyrannical Extermination was directed right at themselves. This technique,unched by a powerhouse of the eighth step, was as terrifying as expected. What followed was theunch of the twisted ck spear and its indistinct flight trajectory. However, right at this moment, Long Haochen proudly rushed forward, with a white light emerging from his back. It was the Saint Spiritual Stoves Attraction ability, aimed urately at the Jacques Chief of the eighth step. When facing a powerful enemy, be the first to face him. This was the courageous pledge of a Guardian Knight, no matter how strong the enemy was. The Guardian Knight of the team needed to always be the first to rush in. Long Haochen handed the Rippling Light from his left hand to Yating, and took the Aria of the Goddess of Light with both of his hands, abruptly stopping his dash in midair. Immediately, his whole body entered a bizarre state, raising his hand at a deceivingly low speed. This was a one against one fight, where Long Haochen wanted to rely on his own strength to face the powerful attack of the Jacques Demon at the eighth step. Right now, the changes on him reflected clearly on Aria of the Goddess of Light. The original strong radiance of his sword vanished, and it again turned dark gold. Along with that mysterious raising motion, Long Haochen gave the feeling of treating this divine sword the same way as a new bride in a veil. If a true expert of the sword had been present, he would definitely recognized that scene as shocking in a nce. What Long Haochen showed wasnt as simple as fusing with his sword, but rather like fusing with nature. umting sword intent, without letting any scatter, he grasped the real essence of the use of a sword. Perhaps, he wasnt able to show some magnificent swordy, but ever since getting the Aria of the Goddess of Light, his understanding regarding swords had already vastly increased. Pop Darkness and dark gold shed with each other, and Long Haochens whole body was shaken, before being sent flying several meters back. He was stopped by being knocked against Haoyues massive body. However, that shadow spear was forcibly repelled to the sky. Right, this wasnt a strike aiming to meet force with force, but aiming to send the enemy flying high. Long Haochen was after all only at the sixth step, and although his internal spiritual energy was already not far from 10,000 units, he was still after all only a Radiant Knight of the sixth step. Even with the most amazing Legendary Equipment, beating a powerhouse of the eighth step with pure force was impossible. However, he managed to repel the enemy using an ability such as Tyrannical Extermination with his own strength. Looking at it, this attack was very simple. Long Haochen had simply changed the trajectory of the enemys attack, and cut off the connection between his intentions and technique. But was it really so easy to pull that off? His move was exercised with the perfect co-ordination between his strength and his sword intent. This simple-looking attack was however the result from Long Haochens fusion of his sword intent with the battle skills from the ancient times. That Jacques Chief was also shocked when seeing his own attack being repelled by Long Haochen in such a way. He absolutely didnt expect this knight with fluctuations of spiritual energy far from equalling the other knight, to actually push him back. And this was while he was using such an astute technique as Tyrannical Extermination. Filling the air with intense killing intent, the Jacques Chief roared once again, spreading the wings on his back. Stepping on the ground, heunched a full strength charge. Since long distance attacks werent going to work, going for close-quarters battle was better. And under the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove, his only avable target was Long Haochen. Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen calmed his boiling blood. The great increase of his external spiritual energy indeed had some good benefits. The resilience of his body was now a lot better than in the past. Else, even if he deflected the enemys attack, hed probably also have ended up wounded. Spreading the wings on his back, and giving a sudden p, Long Haochen set his own body in motion, dashing forward. On his back, Yating conveniently turned back, transforming into a ball of light chasing after Long Hoachen. In some sense, she was a part of Long Haochens body, and thus kept up with his speed with ease. The others from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad also followed at high speed. Caier once again became invisible, and Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light was circling above his head. His chest was glinting purple, and exuded some scorched smell. This was the bacsh of the Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder. Wang Yuanyuan quietly embedded four spatial crystals in her Divine Soul Shield, and Han Yu recovered his shield, taking the Wild Scarlet Blood in both of his hands. They were already prepared for this challenging battle, which was the first time they confronted a powerhouse of the eighth step while relying on their own strength. If they were in Major Jacques City, Long Haochen couldnt possibly make this choice. But this ce was in the wilderness, and if they really werent a match, they had the possibility of escaping. Since things were like this, why shouldnt they try to go all out against a demon of the eighth step? Only this kind of powerhouse would enable them to measure the level of strength they now reached. Ree?With a wild roar, the Jacques Chief lifted his two front hooves, beforending back onto the ground. With a loud bang, strong ck streams of air were urged towards Long Haochen, meanwhile, the spear in the right hand on the demon turned into myriad of ck rays, going straight for Long Haochen. With a distance of ten meters between the Jacques Chief and him, Long Haochen immediately felt the air bing sticky, and the strong darkness elementpletely repelled the light element. Furthermore, that Jacques Chief released a strong pulling force, dragging his counterpart towards him. His strong demeanor and powerful attack were as pressuring as a tall mountain. That was the eighth step! Thest time they faced a Moon Demon at the eighth step, Long Haochen had used the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill, and thus had had an entirely different feeling. But this time was not the same, and he was now facing the Jacques Chief of the eighth step on his own. That immense pressure affected his willpower enormously, and this was due to the gap in strength, and the absolute suppression of his spiritual energy. If not for the fact that Long Haochens spiritual energy was of the purest light type he would hardly have had even the idea to battle against a powerhouse at the eighth step. His two lower wings pped, while the upper ones stayed motionless. Long Haochens body was suddenly raised several meters up into the sky, fortunately avoiding the breath of darkness released by the Jacques Chief below. Meanwhile, Long Haochens whole body shone once again in that eerie golden light, forming one entity with his sword. When the shadow spear of that Jacques Chief was rushing at him from all directions, the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his hand kept resisting attack after attack, as if he was a boat in the midst of violent waves. The Jacques Chief, having an extremely profound perception, felt that this human should have died the moment his attacknded on him. However, every time he felt that he was about to kill the enemy, the enemys heavy sword would briefly touch the spear at a crucial location, and by borrowing force from his spiritual wings, hed escape the danger by a hairs breadth. Currently, Long Haochen was just like a shadow. Resisting against the shadow spear, he still didnt fight hard against that Jacques Chief,pletely relying on technique and agility. This left the powerhouse of the eighth step unable tounch his irresistible offensive power at him. Chapter 390 - Long Haochen at his most powerful state (II)

Chapter 390: Long Haochen at his most powerful state (II)

Trantor: GravityTales No matter for whom, this feeling would be extremely painful. The Jacques Chief roared and abruptly pointed his spear downwards. Immediately, vortexes of darkness kept surging out. His inwardly thought were: _Let me see how youll escape from this._ In front of this kind of omnidirectional attack, Long Haochen was unable to dodgepletely. But right at this moment, his body suddenly halted in midair. Grasping the Aria of the Goddess of Light with both hands, he chopped downwards. The dark golden sword emitted a glowing white light, and right at that instant, Long Haochens two hands turned a transparent golden color. In a sh of golden light, a ck glow spread, smoothly wrapping Long Haochens body in it. Right at this moment, Haoyues immense figure appeared behind him. Not only that, but with a limpid dragon chant and a golden glint of light, that figure shed against the Aria of the Goddess of light. It was Haoyue that appeared suddenly under him, and his figure, which hovered at ten meters height, kept rushing forward, carrying a threatening aura. Meanwhile, both him and Long Haochen had their whole body surrounded by purple light, especially their eyes. That bewitching purple color caused even the Jacques Chef of the eighth step to shake at its sight. While Long Haochens body was shaking severely, the strong purple glow filled him, and the mysterious power from an ancient beast erupted from his body. The Jacques Chief felt his demeanor being shaken. He found himself unable to keep attacking even with his cultivation at the eighth step and even drew a few steps back, filled with shock. Right then, the six Jacques Officers that were charging along with him felt their whole bodies going stiff. A ck figure appeared at their backs, and one ck line after another pierced them, conveniently taking their lives. This was the act of Caier who arrived just at the right time. Some rapid changes appeared on Long Haochens body, his whole Glorious Holy Armor turned purple. Not only that, but earth-shattering variations urred with his armor at the same time. The originally very concise te armor gained gorgeous features, the shoulder tes expanded like dragon wings, while the back of the te armor gained some sort of scales. Layers uponyers of thorns continuously emerged from his armor, forming elegant designs, close to the advanced fairy style or the relicts of some antique tribes from the past. The most distinct feature appeared on Long Haochens chest. Nine purple lines extended from there, enveloping his shoulders, chest and arge area of his front armor. One could faintly see that at the end of the nine purple lines were nine purple balls of light, appearing the same as nine faces, radiating a tyrannical and bewitching aura. On Long Haochens forehead, the purple golden glint became iparably bright, and his ck hair turned purple. His originally handsome face lost its pure and holy look to gain charisma. Even the divine sword Aria of the Goddess of Light was shining in his hand, immersed in a deep purple color. This was the fusion between Long Haochen and Haoyue, butpared to thest time, earth-shattering changes appeared. If thest time, their fusion could be called a semi-finished product, it could be said to have beplete this time thanks to the increase of Long Haochens strength. The aura spreading from Long Hoachens body was a lot stronger than in the past. His armor turned purple, but the spiritual energy emanating from his body was still golden. Thebination turned the spiritual energy exuded by him a magnificent purple gold. The change wasnt only on his body, but also on the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his hand. It appeared that Yating entered the divine sword. Soul Ignition. This ability belonged to both Long Haochen and Yating and was revived with Long Haochens awakening as a gods chosen. Yatings Soul Ignition was like supportive equipment, while Long Haochens Soul Ignition affected his own body. At this moment, right when Yating fused with the Aria of the Goddess of Light, the terrible might of this divine sword emerged, contrary to the Bright Vengeance that was unable to bear Yatings Soul Ignition. An overwhelming terrible sword intent burst out from Long Haochens body, and immediately, a gaudy purple golden color surrounded Long Haochen. Right at this moment, Long Haochen entered his most powerful battle state, making use of a double Soul Ignition after his fusion with Haoyue. To say nothing of the enemy, even hisrades felt terror at this moment, because even they were unable to sense the level Long Haochens strength now reached. Having gained a purple golden color, his four wings abruptly pped, and like that, Long Haochen rushed at the Jacques Chief like a purple meteor. In his series of probing attacks, he found out that this Jacques Chief still had a gap in cultivationpared to that young Moon Demon. After entering his most powerful state, it really became possible for him to kill this enemy with the help from hisrades. _Bang!_ Long Haochen attacked the Jacques Chief by meeting force with force for the first time. The Aria of the Goddess of Light fiercely struck against the pitch-ck spear of the Jacques Chief, and both sides were simultaneously repelled, with no one holding the advantage. In other words, Long Haochens current attack strength and physical strength were on par with a Jacques Chief of the eighth step. Lowering his head to give a nce to his own spear, the Jacques Chief abruptly noticed that the thickest central part of his spear was unexpectedly split in two. And to his shock, there was a deep gash from his right shoulder to his left rib, which pierced his scales pierced and caused strong bleeding. And moreover, an extremely strange energy was flowing inside. No matter how he urged his spiritual energy, he found himself unable to scatter it in any way. That was not simply light spiritual energy anymore, but it also carried a terrifying presence filled with a devastatingly destructive power. What wounded the Jacques Chief was of course not Long Haochens heavy sword, but the sword intenting from the Aria of the Goddess of Light infused with Long Haochen and Haoyues powers. When the divine sword regained a soul, its might reached the Epic Tier, even surpassing the Legendary Tier. As a piece of Epic Tier Equipment, it could undoubtedly change the oue of a war. If Long Haochen wasnt in a fused state with Haoyue, even while letting Yating fuse with the Aria of the Goddess of Light, he wouldnt be able to wield its power. Go to hell! Long Haochen gave a shout and stepped forward,unching an Asura Thrust. With a drizzling purple golden color, some bizarre warped gloss appeared in the air, and the strong purple golden light seemed to engulf the whole surroundings in an instant. _Bang!_ The spear broke and the enemy was sent flying. Although the Jacques Chief spared no effort to resist, the Aria of the Goddess of Light was just too terrifying after reaching the Epic Tier. The terrifying destructive power and the sword intent that seemed to pierce through the heavens destroyed his weapon almost instantly, and struck his body directly. At the crucial moment of danger, the Jacques chief still had time to bend his head, avoiding a wound to his head, but half of his body was cut with this blow. Including the shoulder, left arm and arge part of the ribcage, his left side was sent flying upwards, while the two hoofs on his right side burst from the explosion of purple golden light. A massive golden ball also covered the sky right at this time, inflicting a perfect cut to the falling body of the Jacques Chief. The three destructive abilities Crush, Smash and Absorption burst out at that time. Pitifully, the strong and brutal Jacques Chief was ripped to pieces like that, not even leaving a corpse. However, after this strike, Long Haochen was unable to maintain this state. With a sh, Haoyues massive body separated from his. Being terribly pale, Long Haochen gasped for air. In his most powerful state, Long Haochen was actually at the threshold of the eighth step. Nheless, he could only preserve this state for a very short time. Afterwards, he was extremely weakened Especially after the use from Soul Ignition, he needed at least three or four days of rest to recover entirely, despite the improvement of his cultivation level and his understanding of Soul Ignitionpared to thest time. Yating also separated from the Aria of the Goddess of Light.The purple golden color on the divine sword had already disappeared. Yating looked really out of energy, and directly disappeared into Long Haochens chest. At this moment, the members from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad stopped moving, gathering at a very fast speed. Then, a dazzling pure golden colored barrier enveloped everyone, including the curled up Haoyue. In this barrier of five meters in diameter, everyone was affected by this pure golden radiance. The ability Blessing of Light from Han Yus Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings wasunched. Everyone affected by the heavy and multi-elemental energy recovered from their consumption at a fast pace. And that carefree and revitalizing feeling rxed everyones breathing greatly. The Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings had great utility. Bathed in that pure golden light, except for the weakened Long Haochen, everyone returned to their peak state in a very short time, even recovering from their physical exhaustion. On the other side, although still resisting, the king grade Demon Hunt Squad was still in a very difficult situation, and this became all the more true after the Jacques Chief was killed by Long Haochen. The Jacques Demons became frantic, andunched attacks without any restraint. After seeing hisrade get killed, even the second Jacques Chief of the eighth step wasnt filled with fury, but with fear. That was a fact! From the time the Jacques Chief attacked to his death, the whole fight had onlysted several seconds. The counterpart killed was a powerhouse at the eighth step, so they could naturally kill a second one. These humans who cameter were visibly even more powerful than the ones they chased. Chapter 391 - Long Haochen in his most powerful state (III)

Chapter 391: Long Haochen in his most powerful state (III)

Trantor: GravityTales After recovering his spiritual energy, Haoyue rushed out with Lin Xin. Haoyue wasnt in the same kind of weak state as Long Haochen, and furthermore, with his evolution, his recovery was greatly strengthened. At least until now, Long Haochen had yet to see Haoyues limits. During their fusion, he felt his own bodys limits, and thus couldnt maintain the fused state with Haoyue. The reason why Haoyue and Lin Xin rushed out was naturally to reap magical crystals. Lin Xins speed of reaction was very fast, butpared to Haoyue, he was stillcking. Haoyues movements were very simple. Rushing ahead, hed tread on the Jacques Demon corpses to crush them, before engulfing the demon crystals in his mouth. Although Lin Xin simply recovered the whole corpses, it was still at an inferior speed. Nheless, Haoyue was still generous and left Lin Xin the magical crystal of the Jacques Chief of the eighth step. These things would be very useful to the team, no matter whether used directly or exchanged for contribution points. These were the greatest items they gained ever since getting into demon territory. The powerful show of strength of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad left these scattering Jacques Demons even more in fear, and the several hundred corpses on the ground were very rapidly looted with the joint efforts of Lin Xin and Haoyue. On the other side of the battlefield, the recovered Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu and Caier joined the ongoing battle, providing support for the king grade Demon Hunt Squad. Although they were unable to kill the second Jacques Chief, the demons were already out of fighting spirit and quickly retreated in defeat. The battle was finally over, and the king grade Demon Hunt Squads consumption was far greater than that of Long Haochens team. They didnt even have the strength left to thank Long Haochens group, and one after another fell to the ground, unable to move even one step further. Long Haochen was sitting cross-legged on the ground, summing up the process of the previous battle. Deep inside, he felt that they had really gained in strength. When facing an enemy at the eighth step in the past, they were left without choice but to use the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pill. But this time, they killed the opponent grandiosely, and did that even more easily than that time against the Zombie King. _Perhaps even without my most powerful state, we could have killed that one with our own strength. And I really didnt expect the Aria of the Goddess of Light to be such a terrifying divine sword after fusing with Yating._ Although Long Haochen only got to sense the power of a piece of equipment at the Epic Tier for a split moment, it still left a very deep impression in him. Even a powerhouse of the eighth step was unable to resist against its power. If not for the strengthening from the Aria of the Goddess of Light, killing the enemy in one blow like that wouldnt have been possible, not even in his most powerful state. At the same time, he sensed that when the Aria of the Goddess of Light would be a weapon of such level, it would be powerful enough by itself, without adding any ability. Such an overwhelming sword intent would be so that even if one resists it using their physical resistance, he would still get wounded by the sword intent. The eighth step, just when would he be a true powerhouse of the eighth step too? Long Haochen quietly took out the internal spiritual energy measuring gem from his Eternal Melody and poured his spiritual energy inside. Seeing the number which came out gave him a nice surprise. 9,782. _Whah, its already above 9,780? So its no wonder that my fusion with Haoyuebined with the use of Spiritual Ignition already broke through the eighth step. So my strength had already gotten that close to the seventh step._ It was already a long time that Long Hoachen didnt checked the value of his own internal spiritual energy. From this, he immediately rejoiced greatly. His cultivation rate as a gods chosen one was one of the benefits that he felt were bountiful. This time, it was for a simple goal that all he chose were ughtering Missions. He wanted to help Caier to find the opportunity toplete her awakening as a gods chosen one too. Without a doubt, for she who was the Saint Daughter of Samsara, only through ughter Missions would a possibility of awakening appear. In a private room of moderate size, roughly ten square meters, if one took particr attention, he would see that all parts of the room, be it the roof, the walls or the floor, were pitch-ck, like a dark crystal. More urately speaking, this room was like an immense ck crystal cut into a suitable shape. In the middle of this private room, a deep purple light was faintly visible. If one paid an attentive look, he would find out that it was released by a man. A soft purple glint kept spreading out, in the midst of going extinct. Suddenly, that purple glint looked more real, and with two substantial-looking purple glints, all the darkness inside of this space was controlled. And! The looking out from these eyes seemed able to pierce the earth and the heavens. The substantial look of the lighting out from the eyes was reflected onto the ck crystal in front of him, actually letting out a series of buzz sounds. Anky figure floated, sitting upright, and hidden from view by the purple light. One could faintly see that this very handsome face had clearly a pale look. It was merely due to strong surprise that this face showed such an expression. Is it his aura? Feng Xiu murmured, talking to himself, and a severe look shed past his eyes. Huang Shuo! This subordinate listens. From outside, this response could be heard echoing. The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu coldly instructed, Give my order to dispatch ten groups of Demon Hunters Removers from the Central Province to be gathered mainly in the Jacques Province. There, any magical beast with three or more heads found are to be killed, and their corpse brought back to me. Yes, Your Highness. Do you have any other instruction? After pondering for a short time, Feng Xiu replied, Please tell the Star Demon God to meet me. Yes. Shortlyter, quiet footsteps resounded, and an orange figure approached with quick steps, getting closer to Feng Xius before stopping exemrily at ten meters from him, bowing slightly, Boss. His voice was very soft, touching and let out a special charm at when hearing it, as well as an unreal feel. This man was entirely d in orange, and his build looked close to the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu. However, he was more slim, and his handsome face made him look closer to the Moon Demon God Agares. Only, he had a somewhat look, which gave a feeling of extreme delicateness. His orange colored eyes seemed to carry ayer of hazy mist, and his supple-looking orange hair was draped out to his back, just like an orange waterfall spreading out until reaching the level of his knee. The most peculiar was that on his forehead appeared a symbol of orange hexagon. If Lin Xin were to see his hair, he would absolutely be jumping with envy. Vassago, has your body already recovered? Feng Xiu asked. He visibly entertained a very good friendship with this orange man. If someone were to underestimate this orange man on the basis of his external appearance, he would definitely be out of luck. Thats because, despite having a weak, beautiful and rather pitiful look, this was the one praised as demon prophet, their Great Prophet, Star Demon God Vassago, whose existence ranked third amongst all the demon gods. From the human point of view, the Star Demon God Vassago was viewed as the top demon mage, being a rare kind of demon god purely focused on magic among all the seventy-two, and there was no room for doubting his power. In some sense, his position amongst demons made him even more important than the Moon Demon God Agares. His Great Prophecy Technique would make even the Demon God Emperor cautious towards him. But the Star Demon God Vassago would appear very rarely in the battlefield. He was mainly acting as the brain of the demons, or perhaps the brain of the Demon God Emperor. Among all demons, few people could call the Demon God Emperor brother, and the only ones the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu acknowledged as little brothers were Agares and Vassaga. Bro Feng looks to have recovered to eighty percent of his strength. The voice of the Star Demon God Vassago was still as gentle and pleasant to listen to. The face of the Demon God Emperor looked stagnant, You should have sensed that right before right? Your perception isnt far from mine, but should be even more detailed. Was that really him? The Star Demon Gods expression seemed to be very pale, but he nodded without any hesitation. Feng Xius two eyes shrank, and it appeared as if a bolt of purple lightning shed in his eyes, He actually came. But shouldnt he be unable to leave from there due to the regtions ced on that space? The Star Demon God let out a light sigh, shaking his head, with the orange hair on his back moving back and forth like waves, I dont understand clearly how this could happen either, but Im sure that in his current state, hes still far fromparable to back then. Otherwise, Im afraid he would havee to find us long ago. Also, I am sure that he knows that we are now in this world. Boss, destroying him is our absolute priority. Right then, the Demon God Emperor actually became hesitant just because of hearing the words from the Star Demon God. Unconsciously clenching his both fists, he murmured aloud, I cannot possibly doubt the prophecies you are making at the cost of your own lifespan, but its just that he seems to be able to block us from locating him urately, so we can only identally spot him sometimes. This way, how could we look for him? The Star Demon God replied with an indifferent look, A sun-like meteor has descended in the human world, carrying a faint hint of purple. This sunshine should be rted to the God of Light, dispersing gradually the darkness. At dawn, its presence glints in the northwest, ruling over with the brightness of that purple hint. Then, whether the seventy-two cages can resist the light from the sun, and destroy these purple hints in its early stages, or whether the cages are destined to fall against it is up to fate. This was the prophecy that the Star Demon God made at the cost of his lifespan. The Star Demon God continued, ording to my predictions, among the two who are going to bring a catastrophe upon upon us, theres naturally him, but I still cannot guess the identity of that sun-like meteor. Its very possibly a human that is going to emerge suddenly; we have to pay further attention to the humans circumstances. That young human that AhBao met in the Illusory Paradise is very suspicious. If we get the opportunity, we have to kill him at any cost. And ording to my predictions, that human is very possibly rted to him, and extremely closely. If things are like that, our target is now a lot easier to find. Hearing his words, the Demon God Emperor was shaken, Him? Can it really be him? Boss, were you thinking of something? The Star Demon God gave the Demon God Emperor a surprised look. The Demon God Emperor shook his head slightly, carrying a pondering look on his face. Chapter 392 - Brink of the Seventh Step (I)

Chapter 392: Brink of the Seventh Step (I)

Trantor: GravityTales -Temple Alliance, Holy City, Great Auction House- A very delicate looking girl was sitting in the backyard of the Alliances Great Auction House. Her perfect white long skirt could not hide her moving figure. Her looks were picturesque, extremely tender and carried a hard to describe aura of purity. Only by sitting there, she seemed like a fairy, with all the surrounding scenery seemingly striving to only emphasize her beauty. A girl d in a red skirt discreetly came from behind her, suddenly shouting, Just what are you thinking about, pure little flower? Wah!? The girl d in white was startled, suddenly straightening her posture. She turned her head in the direction of the girl in the red skirt, immediately murmuring, Big sister Weiyang, whats up with you giving me such a fright? And I said already, I dont want to be called pure little flower. What an annoying guy, hmpf! This girl was the young princess of the Alliances Great Auction House, Feng Linger. And the one who gave her a fright was naturally the head auctioneer of that same ce, the gracious Ye Weiyang. Ye Weiyang replied with a smiled, Thats right, I shouldnt call you little pure flower, but rather little hot pepper. To be so harsh with that person every time, its as if you wont be happy if you dont drive him out with curses. And that fool is stilling back every day. However, things are bing closer to how youd want it now. Since that person left, hell no longer be bothering you. Ever since Lin Xin got Sima Xian acquainted with Feng Linger, Sima Xian became extremely clingy to her out of his feelings of love. He would havee visit her everyday at the Alliances Great Auction House if it didnt affect his cultivation, of course with good help from Ye Weiyang whod let him at least have a sight of Feng Linger every time. But then, as Ye Weiyang just said, he would simply get cursed and driven out every time. As for the appetion little pure flower, it stemmed of course from Lin Xin who sold out this bald priest as the bad friend he was. Naturally, it became a source ofughter for Ye Weiyang whod use it to tease her. Of course, Lin Xin gave Sima Xian quite a lot of help from the shadows, at least with the good food hed arrange for Sima Xian to bring Feng Linger every time. As for her preferences, it was of course Ye Weiyang who told them secretly. On the night before their departure, Sima Xian brought packets of good food as a gift for Feng Linger, and until now, Feng Linger still remembered that scene. That guy was quite robust, bringing at least fifty kilograms of food, carrying all of it on his back. When shed curse at him, he would show a foolish smile, never answering back. And then, when shed stop all that cursing from tiredness, he would finally leave. Calm your tone, and have a little drink. Otherwise your throat will start hurting from all this shouting, he had said. Starting from tomorrow, Ill be unable to see you. And this willst for quite some time. Take good care of yourself. I know that you dont really like me much, but it doesnt matter, because you at least permitted me to know the feeling of deep love. You can either one day secretly start loving me, or let my feelings remain unrequited, but at least you cant stop these feelings I have for you. Thank you, really. This period of time was very happy for me. I never knew that looking forward every day to see one person was such a happy thing. Just from hearing your voice every day, I was content. Actually, youre right. I am not fit for you, at least as I am a Demon Hunter. Every time Id be heading out on a mission, Ill be in mortal danger. How could a man such as me give you a sense of security? I understand all this, yet I cannot help but have these feelings for you. Please dont stop me now, and let me finish to say all this before parting. Perhaps, this will be an eternal parting. I dont know whether Ille back alive, and my only cherished desire is to tell you the words I have kept in my heart with sincerity.Only then can I leave without regrets and let myself kill the enemy without distraction. May I? Please dont throw all this food, okay? At least, dont let it go to waste. Actually, Lin Xin was the one to tell me about your liking for snacks. Im stupid, right? See, just from telling you all this, Im already sweating. Today, Im speaking so much more than in the past. You Just consider me as a passing traveler in your life okay? I hope all this entangling from me around you didnt bother you too much. I just hope that you will stay safe. Thank you for letting me say all this, Im leaving. Though you are very fierce to me, I know that its because Im no good. In my heart, you will forever stay a pure and fully upied little pure flower. Goodbye. I Love you! Even after so many days, Feng Linger remembered clearly about that scene. When Sima Xian left, he suddenly turned back his head, and shout these three words, before turning his head and running off. From this, Feng Linger had a throbbing feeling in her chest for the first time in her life, seeing his strongly satisfied appearance. Hey, what are you thinking about? Losing all yourself in your thoughts. You cant really have fallen for that bald priest? Ye Weiyang asked with a pleased look. Who has fallen for him? Feng Linger reacted unhappily. Ye Weiyang showed a happy smile, Right, hes not fit for our little princess. All those chasing you can be thrown out of the city by us. Hes neither tender nor gentle in the slightest, and isnt any good at courting. The idea of bringing you nice food every day was mine. Right, he brought you those dried fish before leaving right? If youre not eating these, give them to me, just like those from before. Hehe, helping you finishing these is so good. Feng Linger gave her an empty re, Sis Weiyang, how bad from you! Its clearly the things you like to eat, that youre cing on me. Could it be that theres no one willing to buy these for you? Ye Weiyang suddenly let out a soft sigh, Arent you a strange one? Why do you think Id let that bald priest get close to you? In the past, Ive been helping you to drive away all these nasty beasts. Feng Linger unconsciously nodded with attention. Ye Weiyang continued, Its because Im very interested in their captain, and really want to meet him and get to know him better. Thats why I tried to get in contact with the ones by his side, and learn more about him. As the one who seeded the divine sword of great-grandfather, I really want to know what kind of person he is. However, both Lin Xin or that bad priest arent willing to say much. All they said was that their knight stayed in secluded training all this time, and I have never seeded in my ns. Linger, your big sister has been using you, would you me me for that? However, Lin Xin and that Sima Xian arent bad people. At least theyd make very good friends. Feng Linger asked, Cant you just go see him directly when he will be out of seclusion? Why would you drag me in all this? These words carried some anger, with a hint of resentment. Ye Weiyang showed a bitter smile, Thats because Ive lost all self-confidence. I still clearly remember the scene from that day. That a mans eyes could be that bright.. You cant be interested in him?! Feng Linger asked in rm. Ye Weiyang nodded without concealing anything, I am. However, Im afraid I dont have the slightest chance. Lin Xin told me that he already has a very close female friend, and that its their vice-captain. Feng Linger reacted with the words, So what, they arent married, are they? With the many wiles of my Sis Ye Weiyang, cant you snatch him away? Ye Weiyang shook her head, Thats impossible. I have the very strong feeling that I will never be able to manipte this man. And its not love that I feel for him, but interest, or rather curiosity. After all this time passed, you should have realized that both Lin Xin and Sima Xian are extremely outstanding. In the young generation of the Temple Alliance, they are all among the elite. I dont really know Sima Xian, but Ive known Lin Xin for a very long time. His grandfather is an auxiliary head of the Mage Temple, and hes the most outstanding alchemist of the young generation. Hes now a Demon Hunter, and I already checked for his cultivation; hes actually already at the sixth step! And just like that, I dont know if you realized this, but every time Captain Long is mentioned, their expressions change and hold deep respect, right, deep respect. They havent been Demon Hunters for long, and thus, Long Haochens age should be close to theirs. But even such a young person actually gained the deep respect of two of the young elites of the Alliance. From this, we can well imagine how outstanding that Long Haochen is. For this reason alone, I felt all the more curious about him. I say without shame that when I saw him lift the divine sword, I felt that I was no match for him. Hearing her say this much, Feng Linger felt dazed from listening. She knew the best how arrogant she was to the core, but such an arrogant Ye Weiyang actually felt inferior to a man? This was simply inconceivable. Ye Weiyang, tell me, can they make it back alive? Feng Linger asked in a low voice. Ye Weiyang nodded lightly, I dont know either. Feng Linger knitted her eyebrows, Didnt you say they were extremely strong? And about that mysterious captain, he indeed looks really out of the ordinary. Ye Weiyang mused, Thats really a double-edged sword. Because of their strength, the choice of missions they take are out of the ordinary. Lin Xin is only a little more than twenty, and if the others are close to him in age, their whole team should be under twenty five of age. But I heard Lin Xin said that they are already amander grade Demon Hunt Squad. This means that they are all at least at the sixth step, thus the missions they take are also at this grade. For some reason, when hearing Ye Weiyangs words, Feng Linger suddenly felt a pain in her heart, blurting out the words, Sis Weiyang, dont take the things that guy brought for me. Ill be eating those. What? Ye Weiyang gave her a monstrous look. As if she didnt see that, Feng Linger continued, I hope theyll make it alive. The battlefield was already cleaned, and after getting a short time of rest, the two Demon Hunt Squads were in a better shape. In particr, the king grade Demon Hunt Squad really looked to be in a bad shape. Hello, I am the captain from the 17th King grade Demon Hunt Squad, Guardian Knight Tian Qing. Thank you for your help. The Foundation Armored Knight already took off his helmet, and a very resolute face appeared. He looked about thirty five or six, and had thick and broad arms, looking strong. Chapter 393 - Brink of the Seventh Step (II)

Chapter 393: Brink of the Seventh Step (II)

Long Haochen held out his hand, giving a polite introduction, Hello, we are the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, and Im the captain, Long Haochen. We are honored to have fought by your side. Commander grade? Tian Qing looked dazed, Brother, are you joking? While speaking, Long Haochen took off the cloak concealing his face, and sheltering it from the sand. Seeing that handsome and young face, Tian Qing immediately became speechless. It was not only him, but the same went for all therades of his team. Right before, when Long Haochen showed his powerful burst of power, leaving them full of shock, the only point they didnt understand was that Long Haochen wasnt fighting d in Mythril Foundation Armor. For someone who inflicted such serious damage to Jacques Demons of the eighth step like him, bing a Mythril Foundation Knight should be no problem at all! But that was unless he had even better choices of equipment. Its really unexpected to see that you are this young. But no matter what, I want to thank your team for your prompt help on the behalf of myrades and myself. If not for your timely appearance, Im afraid that we would have hardly made it out alive today. Long Haochen asked with a puzzled tone, Senior, given your teams strength, handling these two Jacques Demons shouldnt be so difficult. So why The promotion frommander grade to king grade of a Demon Hunt Squad would epass a qualitative leap. It was not only about the cost of a million contribution points, but most of all about the fact that all members had to reach the seventh step of cultivation. And to agree to pay such a price, this Demon Hunt Squad surely had already sufficiently powerful equipment. Even only at the seventh step, a Demon Hunt Squad formed of powerhouses with excellent equipment should absolutely not find it difficult to handle two Jacques Demons of the eighth step, especially with the fact that this n wasnt privileged with the inheritance from a demon god. As for those lower grade Jacques Demons, it was even more needless to say, as it was showed in their previous battle with Long Haochens group. With a bitter smile, Tian Qing cut, Dont bring it up, we were really out of luck this time. Our mission was originally to get into the Major Jacques City to kill two Jacques Commanders of the eighth step. But who knew that under ambush, the Jacques Chiefs would have gotten help from a Demon Hunters Remover squad that ambushed us. Although we inflicted serious damage to the opponent, we also suffered great losses, four of us sustained injuries, and we also had a great consumption of spiritual energy. Although by relying on pills, our situation was a bit better, the Jacques Demons chose this time to surround us. With difficulty, we finally managed to rush out of their encirclement, but because that annoying Demon Holder appeared suddenly in the sky, we turned out unable to shake them off, and you know about the rest. A Demon Hunters Remover? Whats that? Long Haochen asked full of doubt. Tian Qing replied, Demon Hunters Remover squads are urately speaking somewhat simr to us Demon Hunt Squads. They are a new organized system that the demons put in ce to handle us. It was set up a bit more than one year ago. As the Alliances strength kept growing further and further, the strength of Demon Hunt Squads like us also increased, and the demons had to pay more and more attention to the damage inflicted by us to them. They were left without choice but toe up with new measures against us. Thus came the concept of the Demon Hunter Remover squads, acting to eliminate the Demon Hunters. Selected from the elites among demons, each Demon Hunters Remover squad is constituted of ten members, and led by a captain who is a powerhouse at the eighth step at least. The captain is either a Devil Dragon, a Moon Demon or a Star Demon, making him the most powerful of the team. The members will all be at the seventh step or above, and to make it even worse, some particrly powerful Demon Hunters Remover squads are fully constituted of demon powerhouses at the ninth step. The ssifications for Demon Hunters Removers are still in the midst of being investigated. Demon Hunters like us dare goplete diverse missions in demon territory, but thats mainly because of thex control inside the demon territory. While these Demon Hunters Removers can alsoe to our Alliance, they just dont dare. After all, demons are far different in external appearance and aura from humans like us, and the higher ranked demons who have an humanoid shape are less in number, and dont have the guts to take such risks. Thus, these Demon Hunters Removers are using all their energy to handle us in demon territory. Over the past year, at least ten Demon Hunt Squads were already ughtered at their hands. And this time, we also suffered greatly. Long Haochen took a deep breath, Do you know how many squads of Demon Hunter Remover there are currently? Tian Qing replied, ording to the information we got, roughly a hundred squads of Demon Hunter Remover have been created, and they aremanded by the Demon God Emperor, only following his directives. From today onwards, your team has to be even more careful when acting in demon territory. These Demon Hunter Removers are very hard to handle. Some of them are actually even equipped with some powerful equipment, and although they are imitating our Demon Hunt Squads, the demons have their own natural advantages. Also, high rank demons dont need cultivate much to get a strength above the seventh step. Long Haochen replied, Since things are this way, we will have to hurry up and leave this ce. The defeated demons from the Jacques n must have reported our whereabouts to the Demon Hunter Removers. Tian Qing nodded, That should be the case. Then, well be following you for now. Lets head for the closest team section. Long Haochen replied with hesitation, That does not really conform with the rules. At our grade, we dont have ess to the team sections. The so-called team sections are secret bases for Demon Hunt Squads in demon territory, specialized for providing Demon Hunt Squads of the king grade or above with a ce to rest, reorganize and restock their supplies. This isnt discrimination toward lower ranked Demon Hunt Squads, but due to the fact that the lower ranked Demon Hunt Squads shouldnt have to carry out extremely difficult missions. Setting up these team sections in demon territory tookrge amounts of manpower, physical resources and natural resources from the Alliance. Thus, the more powerful Demon Hunt Squads were naturally prioritized. To give a simple example, the Demon God yers Demon Hunt Squad was concealed near Modu Core City, in an area hidden beneath the surface. The Demon God Emperor once gave the order to search thoroughly around the Core City, but still didnt discover the whereabouts of the team section. From this, the great utility of a team section could be seen. Tian Qing patted Long Haochens shoulder, Dont say these words as if you were an outsider. Rules are meant to be broken when necessary. Do you really think that team sections are absolutely forbidden to use for general ormander grade Demon Hunt Squads? As long as a team of the king grade or above is leading them, theres absolutely no problem for entering, and the nearest one is inside Major Jacques City. Arent they chasing to kill us? Then we shall do the very opposite of what they expect, and return there. Im really unwilling to leave things at that. After we get back to our peak condition, well set Major Jacques City inplete confusion. While saying this, the powerful Mythril Foundation Armored Knights eyes lit up brightly. Which of the Demon Hunters that managed to reach the king grade werent on continuous expeditions? Without strong characters, how could they walk this path? After all this time, countless demons blood was stained on their hands. Tian Qing and his team were clearly extremely familiar with the nearby terrain. Under their lead, the two Demon Hunt Squads moved in a veryrge circle, and in no less than a whole day, reached the Major Jacques City at their full speed. Though they couldnt imitate Long Haochens groups disguise as Moon Demons, the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad had their own methods. They used a so-called Gem of Imitation, to transform their looks into the appearance of Jacques Demons, escorting Long Haochens group to the Major Jacques City. The Major Jacques City was in obvious chaos. The citys defenses werent tight, and at least no one searched Long Haochens group, letting them enter the town without problems. Tian Qing told Long Haochen that Imitating Gems could store illusion power, but that their storage needed them to go through a rather troublesome process. But in demon territory, it was considered to be an essential item for powerful Demon Hunt Squads. Long Haochens group having just enteredmander grade, they didnte into contact with such an item. Major Jacques City was the capital of the Jacques Province, but wasnt very big. Just like the overwhelming majority of the demon cities, it appeared somewhat subject to destruction. Tian Qing brought Long Haochen to a restaurant run by humans, leading them to the rear of the kitchen, and the following process shocked thempletely. On activation, the back of kitchen made a total change, revealing the entrance to a cave, which the thirteen people entered. After that, the entrance to the kitchen returned to its original state. To Long Haochens great surprise, he found that his perception was unable to scout the external world from the inside of the cave. In other words, this cave entrance waspletely screening all probing abilities. And right after entering the cave, Long Haochen noticed that its entrance, connecting the cave and the kitchen, was over one meter thick. Undoubtedly, inside was some precious special alloy very possibly reinforced with magic arrays. In fact Jacques City wasnt any strategic town, so since they already invested in such a big team section for this town, it was no wonder that the Demon Hunt Squads could move so freely in the demon territory. Both sides were iid with some extraordinary crystals, and this ce seemed to be equipped with a very good venttion system, leading to a very rxing atmosphere. When heading downwards, they advanced for more than thirty meters in depth before encountering a t surface, they continued to advance for twenty meters, and then a little room appeared. All the rooms were arranged very simply, with beds, tables and chairs in each. In total, there were roughly twenty rooms, which was enough for three Demon Hunt Squads to rest and reorganize. The only thing was that there was no one here right now, and inside was some specialized storage withrge amounts of food and clean water. Lets have a rest first, everyone. Brother Long, can I have a talk with you? Tian Qing asked. Long Haochen nodded. The two of them entered a room, and the others naturally looked for other rooms to rest by themselves. Tian Qing invited Long Haochen to sit, Currently, our two Demon Hunt Squads are the only ones present here. Ill not be thanking you again: this feeling will stay engraved in the minds of all of us members of the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad. Please dont call me senior or anything, and we should simply address each other with our names. Tian Qing had a very straightforward character, and didnt ask Long Haochen for his age or the secret techniques he used to kill the Jacques Chief of the eighth step. Every Demon Hunt Squad had their own secrets, and even if everyone was fellow soldiers, asking their fellows secrets couldnt do any good. Chapter 394 - Brink of the Seventh Step (III)

Chapter 394: Brink of the Seventh Step (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Yes, Long Haochen gave his agreement. This time, we have suffered a great loss, almost dying here. I am not resigned, but this time, the Jacques Demons suffered a huge blow as well, especially since one of their chiefs died. This has affected Major Jacques City greatly, and is bound to cause the whole Jacques City to change. I reckon that even more Demon Hunter Removers will be searching for our traces. I have an idea, and I think we should discuss it to see whether it would be feasible. Long Haochen replied, Please speak, Brother Tian Qing. Tian Qing asked, For what mission did you enter the demon territory this time? This n will likely take quite a long time to be achieved. If you are on a rushed mission, leaving us after getting some rest is also okay. This team section is connected to the outside of the city, so you can directly leave the city from here. Long Haochen replied, We are not on any rushed mission. This time, we took some ughter Missions and entered the demon territory to execute them. Mentioning it, I also have to thank you. One of our missions was to kill a hundred Jacques Demons, and you helped us toplete it. Tian Qing gave him the reply, If things are like that, then theres no problem. Arent those Demon Hunter Removers trying to get rid of our Demon Hunt Squads? And they already inflicted us so much damage. If we dont respond to them, the demons will start bing arrogant. Since some Demon Hunter Removers are going toe here in search for traces of us, then we should just Saying this, his eyes were full of severity. His right hand, stretching forward, made some ear-piercing shing sound in the air. Ambush the Demon Hunter Removers? Long Haochen asked. Tian Qing nodded to him, There are spies from our team section inside Major Jacques City. However, we will have to live in seclusion for some time before the ambush, at least for half a month to fool those Demon Hunter Removers. If Im not guessing wrong, many of the ughtering missions you have taken should be mainly directed at demons of the seventh step. And Demon Hunter Remover squads are also mainly formed of demons of the seventh step from the top three ns. This way you canplete your missions at the same time. How about it? Are you interested? The danger is enormous, so you should think this through before replying. In case you decide to ept, we shall start nning. Long Haochen gave his reply without any hesitation, All right, well cooperate with you. Tian Qing looked at him, somewhat hesitant. Long Haochen showed him a smile, I will not hide the fact that we have epted a total of sixteen ughtering Missions in the demon territory, and will have to kill some of the demons allocated in Modu City to aplish all of them. After all, Moon Demons, Star Demons and Fiend higher-ups normally live in Modu Core City and are among the targets we are aiming for. If we can aplish these here, it will naturally be for the best. Besides that, well also have your support. Tian Qing gave him a dumbstruck look, Sixteen ughtering Missions? You really dared ept that many?! Were you really nning on aiming for the demon headquarters without even having the support from the team sections? Given your guts to take on so many missions, its no surprise your strength is so incredible at such a young age.. Long Haochen smiled, Since we are going to ambush the Demon Hunter Removers, scouting will be extremely important. Can the spies from our side aplish that? Tian Qing nodded before giving a reply, You can be at ease on this. Along with the vast amount of money invested into building the team sections, our help here is just as enormous. Our spies here are humans of the demon society, who total to arge number. They bring news at regr intervals, we only need to decide what to do with it. Of course, we cannot possibly ambush every single Demon Hunter Remover, thus we have to remain secluded for a period of time. When well have stayed here long enough for the number of Demon Hunter Remover squads to decrease to some extent, we can take our chances. Be at ease, we have learned our lesson this time, well certainly be more careful, and wont leave them another chance like that. After nning their next steps, the two Demon Hunt Squads started living at the team section, treating their injuries and recovering their strength. After Long Haochens burst of power, it took him no less than seven days to recoverpletely. This was the extent to which Haoyue put his potential to maximum use. But this state onlysted for a short time, and also came with strong side-effects. Yating was also weakened for a long time, and needed about five days to recover. But she left Long Haochen a message, saying that the Aria of the Goddess of Light was able topletely fuse with her, and would even be able to absorb her to make her a part of itself. But Yating felt somewhat afraid: if not for her sufficiently powerful strength, shed perhaps be unable to ever separate from it again. If she really fusedpletely with the Aria of the Goddess of Light, the real mour of the sword would then undoubtedly reappear. But in that case, Long Haochen would also forever lose Yating, while also being unable to truly control the Aria of the Goddess of Light with his current strength. Fortunately, Yating wasnt any ordinary Light Elemental Fairy, but one that already evolved thrice, and fused with the Saint Spiritual Stove. This increased her knowledge and her ability of reasoning by a great extent, so as long as she didnt give her agreement, even the Aria of the Goddess of Light would be unable to absorb her as a sword soul by force. During these seven days, information kepting from the outside, which Tian Qing shared with Long Haochen without holding anything back. To their great surprise, Major Jacques City had suddenly be lively, and at least seven teams of demon powerhouses simr to Demon Hunter Removers were reported to have been seen. Given the strength of their two Demon Hunt Squads, handling one Demon Hunter Remover squad was absolutely no problem, handling two was possible with rtively good odds of sess. But when facing three Demon Hunter Remover squads, especially in the midst of various enemies and the possibility of reinforcements joining them, they were bound to be defeated. Long Haochens group was still better off, since no matter what, they had the Tower of Eternity as a path of retreat. But this wouldnt do for Tian Qings group. Given Long Haochens current cultivation, even with the intention, transporting them all to the Tower of Eternity was impossible. To say nothing that the Tower of Eternity was a secret that was really better off not being leaked. For this reason, the two Demon Hunt Squads could only keep resting, and didnt dare act rashly. The Major Jacques City also spent arge amount of manpower to search for them. They searched madly for over three days before slowly easing down. It was fortunate that the team sections were an extremely well-kept secret, and that its concealment was sufficiently good, leaving them undiscovered. This made Long Haochen realize the importance of the team sections to Demon Hunt Squads all the more. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Long Haochen was sunk in an ocean of light. Ever since his awakening as a gods chosen one, his cultivation speed could be said to have progressed more rapidly than ever before. In the pit of his stomach, his brilliant golden spiritual cavities looked somewhat different. His current spiritual cavities were roughly egg-sized, emenating soft light. With each of Long Haochens breaths, some light essence was absorbed by them. Around his spiritual cavities, the drops of liquid spiritual energy seemed like a group of stars revolving around it, and the very sticky liquid spiritual energy was transferred at a speed that seemed slow, but all of it was pure and condensed. Long Haochens cultivation was already approaching the seventh step, but even ordinary powerhouses of the seventh step couldntpete with him in a battle of consumable spiritual energy. The reason for that was very simple: Long Haochens spiritual energy was a lot purer than theirs, and even if they used the same abilities, his consumption of spiritual energy would naturally be much lower. Even if another ordinary person possessing the light elemental attribute trained his spiritual energy to this level, his speed of cultivation was bound to be greatly affected, and raising it would be extremely hard. But Long Haochen felt that his own spiritual energy increased as he breathed. In fact, over the past year of seclusion, if not for the time he spent bringing hisrades to the second floor of the Tower of Eternity to have aerial battle training, as well as the time spent training on newly learnt abilities after getting promoted to themander grade, he would actually have reached the bottleneck of the peak of the sixth step long ago. The reason why Long Haochen didnt push it was to umte experience. After so many years of cultivation, Long Haochen found out that when cultivating at peace, the difficulty was in theck of umted experience. A breakthrough of spiritual energy not only neededprehension and control over spiritual energy, but also to go through countless battles for training. After all, it was only through constant use that the spiritual energy would cycle. Thus, he was in no rush to reach the bottleneck of the sixth step, but preferred going through uninterrupted battles, since he believed that this way, at the time he would reach the bottleneck between the sixth step and the seventh step, passing it would be a lot easier. Memories from the time with his father re-emerged gradually to his mind. The changes from the sixth to the seventh step also epassed a qualitative leap. When one advanced to the sixth step, the condensation of the spiritual cavities implied the change from an ordinary vacation to a powerhouse. After getting spiritual cavities one could battle for long stretches of time. The spiritual cavities emerge at the chest, and help to condense our spiritual energy. However, how much total spiritual energy can our body bear? Only 10,000 units. In other words, at the time one set of spiritual cavities reaches its limits, your cultivation will be unable to advance further. If you try to forcefully break through this limitation, you will very possibly cause damage to your spiritual cavities, and bring danger upon yourself. So, the way from the sixth to the seventh step is not a breakthrough anymore, but a creation. What if your strength keeps increasing? Your single set of spiritual cavities will already be close to its limit at this point. Then, isnt the most appropriate solution to open up some new spiritual cavities? This is the fundamental process of breakthrough from the sixth to the seventh step. By opening up your second and third set of spiritual cavities. This process mustnt go wrong, otherwise you wont be able to bear it. The second set of spiritual cavities is located in the underbelly, whereas the third set of spiritual cavities is located in your brain. At the time your second set forms, you will have broken through to the seventh step, and when your spiritual energy will entirely fill up your second set of spiritual cavities, your third one starts forming. Thats one of the greatest dangers in the process of cultivation, and youll have to be careful about everything: be sure not to advance prematurily. I cannot tell you the details about the methods for constructing spiritual cavities. Youll have to rely on your ownprehension for that. Chapter 395 - Title hidden for the moment (I)

Chapter 395: Title hidden for the moment (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Recalling his fathers teachings, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel moved, _Father, I am about to break through to the seventh step. Can you believe that? Im still not even seventeen yet! After I break through to the seventh step, I will go to the Knight Temple to look for Mother and you. I will do this immediately after weplete our ughter Missions._ __ _After its done, I will participate in the trial to be a Mythril Foundation Armored Knight. I will get a Mythril Foundation Armor to stand in front of you._ Reaching this point, Long Haochens self-esteem arose spontaneously. Indeed, he didnt expect himself to reach the seventh step at such speed, it was simply inconceivable. Ever since separating from his parents, Long Haochens life could be said to be very rich, yet filled with serious cultivation, as hepleted one mission after another with his team, with Caier apanying him. However, in some lonely nights, he couldnt help but reminisce about his parents, and fondly remember them. His mothers warmth and love, his fathers severity and power were engraved deeply in his mind. In this life, Long Haochens most deeply engraved memory was from the time when Odin Town was ambushed by demons, while he apanied his father and learned about his Divine Throne. It was a scene he wouldnt ever forget. Although Long Haochen was very young at that time, back then, he secretly had pledged himself to one day sit on a Divine Throne just like his father. Caier was sitting across Long Haochen. Ever since entering the demon territory, everyone in the team lost the calm they had in the Alliance. They were always in a very alert state, using all their free time for cultivation. The benefits a year of seclusion brought them were in the midst of manifesting. After the long umtion of experience, everyones cultivating speed increased. This was especially true for Long Haochen whose control over his spiritual cavities was extraordinary by the time he broke through to the sixth step. During their one year of seclusion, Long Haochen had spent the great majority of his time with bringing hisrades to get battle training in the Tower of Eternity, intending to familiarize everyone with the spiritual cavities through unceasing training. This was a very proper choice, because except for Caier and himself, their other fiverades mainly broke through to the sixth step due to the help from the Tower of Eternity, resulting in their foundation not being firm enough. After this year of hard training, their cultivation could be said to have stabilized, and with the gains from the Tower of Eternity, all hisrades had improved immensely. Caiers cultivation was second only to Long Haochen, having just broken through the 7,000 units barrier recently. Their otherrades were close to the 6,000 units barrier, but this speed could already be called astonishing. Except for Caier, the fastest in gaining spiritual energy were naturally Long Haochens two retainers, Han Yu and Sima Xian, who benefitted from the Innate Talent Sharing, and progressed very fast relying on the physiques gained from having their innate internal spiritual energy raised to eighty units. The slowest was as before Chen Yinger, but for some reason, everyone could feel that changes in Chen Yingers manners were gradually appearing. Major Jacques City. After several days of disturbance, the capital of Jacques Province gradually regained its calm. However, the attack from the Demon Hunt Squads of the Alliance a few days ago still inflicted a serious blow to the Jacques n, which was in itself not such a strong n. Because of their slow reproduction speed, the Jacques n rarely appeared on the battlefield. Their total quantity wasnt high, so this blow was considerable, especially with the death of one Jacques Chief, which severely hurt the moral of the Jacques n. A team of ten was entering Jacques City, led by a tall man d in orange. Intense fluctuations of spiritual energy exuding from his cloak already revealed his identity as a Star Demon. Behind him followed nine demons of different nature, but none missed to emit a powerful aura. Walking with vigorous and determined steps into Major Jacques City, all the demons and humans of the city stepped out of their path. Without any doubt, this team was a squad of Demon Hunter Removers. The Demon Hunter Removers numbered a hundred teams,manded directly by the Demon God Emperor. Thus, every member of the Demon Hunter Remover squads was as proud as one might well imagine. The Demon God Emperor held a supreme position in the demon race, but the setting up of the Demon Hunter Removers undoubtedly consolidated his rule even further. Yet no one from any race dared utter a word of objection. The setup of the Demon Hunter Removers naturally had instantaneous effects, and many Demon Hunt Squads from the Temple Alliance had already suffered losses at their hands. Some lost members and some were even exterminatedpletely by the force of these powerful Demon Hunter Remover squads, specialized in handling the Demon Hunt Squads. The hundred Demon Hunter Remover squads were also ranked based on their strength, from the strongest to the weakest. The three most powerful Demon Hunter Remover squads were led by demon gods among the top thirty-six. They entirely consisted of powerhouses at the ninth step, hence they called themselves Demon God Teams. Each of those epassed ten powerhouses at the ninth step, whose power was supreme. The fact Demon Hunter Removers were organized in teams of ten was directed at better handling the Demon Hunt Squads teams of six. After the Demon God Teams, the next lower ranked teams were called Demon King Teams. Their makeup was simple: their team leader was obligatorily at the ninth step, and these Demon King Teams totalled ten. Following them were the Dragon Teams, Moon Teams, Star Teams and Demon Teams that didnt differ by much in strength. As the name implied, the Dragon Teams would naturally be led by a Devil Dragon and the Moon Teams and Star Teams would have a Moon Demon or a Star Demon as their team leader, while the remaining Demon Teams were of more inferior quality. Aside from the ten Dragon Teams, Moon Teams and Star Teams, the rest were all Demon Teams. The Demon God Teams and the Demon King Teams aside, the strength of the remaining four types didnt differ that much. It was only that the teams with a Devil Dragon, a Moon Demon or a Star Demon as a captain would have a better cohesion, and also were a little bit stronger. This Demon Hunter Remover squad was undoubtedly a Star Team. The members of this Star Team felt gloomy these days. The Demon Hunter Removers were already established for more than a year, yet for some reason, their team always had bad luck. From the beginning to now, they never had encountered a human Demon Hunt Squad, and their chief, Xing Suo, was very thirsty to battle with a human Demon Hunt Squad. After the establishment of the Demon Hunter Removers, they got the full support of the demon resources, and all human alchemists and artisans from their side worked to make equipment for them. However, the equipment wasnt given for nothing, and only by killing members of Demon Hunt Squads would they gain more preferential treatment. However, finding Demon Hunt Squads wasnt easy at all, and at least until now, they had never encountered any, and hence didnt gain any reward. Ten days before, the Demon God Emperor suddenly ordered them to search the Jacques Province, and after ten days of search, they didnt even spot the shadow of a Demon Hunter. The other Demon Hunter Removers had already returned to give their report or inspect another ce. But an order came from above: three teams of Demon Hunter Removers, including their own, had to keep searching in the area of Major Jacques City for a month. Team leader, this order from above is just too nonsensical. Do they want us to search for thin air? Its still nowhere as good as fighting the armies of the Temple Alliance on the border. A rtively sturdy demon behind Xing Suoined. This person reached a height of 3 and a half meters, his shoulders extending to two meters breadth, and his sturdy hands looked like gigantic pirs. His whole body was covered in ck leather, and his face was covered by a full beard, to the extent that he looked like a person. But the fierceness in him as well as his ck hair revealed his real identity. The demon race with the highest physical strength, Demonic Bears. The Demonic Bear God Valefor, ranked sixth among the seventy two demon gods, was known for his extraordinary strength, standing like a wall in battle. Under his banner, the Demonic Bear n focused on power as their core. If the Devil Dragons could be called the kings of the demons, the Star Demons their brain and the Moon Demons their spirit, then, the Demonic Bears could be called their guards. Their powerful guards. With their terrifying attack and defense, they were unyielding existences on the battlefield. This was a terrifying n with the opportunity to reach the ninth step through the cultivation of their external spiritual energy. Of course, they also had their shorings, like their inability of flight no matter their strength as Demonic Bears. Xing Suo let out a snort, Stop with your nonsense. Act as the orderse. Its already noon, lets look for a ce to eat for now. The Demonic Bear let out augh and stoppedining. His massive figure was standing behind Xing Suo like a protective barrier. In the team, Xing Suo and him had the highest positions, while the other members were merely powerhouses at the seventh step. As for him, he was at the peak of the seventh step, and Xing Suo was a powerhouse at the eighth step. And a Star Demon of the eighth step was an absolutely terrible existence. The group of ten demons strolled through the city, looking for a ce to eat. As Demon Hunter Removers, they obviously didnt need to pay for their meal. Just a Demonic Bear could ruin the business of a whole restaurant. As they stepped forward, the expression on the face of the Star Demon suddenly changed, and he stopped his pace. He suddenly aimed the staff in his right hand at the ground, causing a strong orange radiance to suddenly burst out from his body. An illusory looking figure shed at this time, letting out strident sounds of breaking while bursting out of that orange colored radiance. Xing Suo let out a snort. He drew back and on his chest appeared traces of blood. Fortunately, the ne on his neck released a powerful ck glint, which protected him from being severely injured, making this a light wound. Human assassin! Xing Suo called out in fury, lifting up the staff in his hand again. He conjured terrible and sticky darkness essence and sent it at the direction of that already visible figure. This was Elemental Shock, the most effective rapid attack for mages of the eighth step? Mages indeed feared assassins, but in case they seized the counterpart in their line of sight or brought distance between them, an assassin could only be a target for the mage. Of course, Xing Suo didnt have any need to create some distance. The moment he suffered the attack, the Demonic Bear immediately stood before him, and the others flocked nearby, like bolts of lightning ready to pierce that white d assassin. Chapter 396 - Star Team Annihilated (II)

Chapter 396: Star Team Annihted (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The assassin remained motionless for a moment, before he immediately turned around. Spreading his spiritual wings and pping them with full power, he tried to escape like a bolt of lightning. But would Xing Suo let him off? His low and rapid chant burst out like an explosion, and the staff in his hand pointed forward. An orange hand appeared from it, stretching out to grab the assassin. This was the Star Demonic Grasp, the greatest control spell used by Star Demons. In the eyes of the Star Demon, that assassin was already dead. As the most powerful magic race amongst demons, the Star Demon had very good awareness. It was precisely that perception that saved his life right before, when he noticed the existence of the assassin just in the nick of time. Even as a powerhouse of the eighth step, he was still weak against assassins. After all, Star Demons were a purely magic race. The magic used by the Star Demons was extremely powerful, but when attacked without warning, they were in immediate danger. Through the previous attack, he could sense that this was a human assassin of the seventh step, but his cultivation was bound to be rather high, at least at the fifth rank of the seventh step, otherwise he wouldnt have been able to sneak up to him and damage his defensive equipment. But so what? The Star Demonic Grasp was one of the most powerful innate spells used by Star Demons. It was not only extremely fast to chant and release, but was most of all a control spell of the seventh step. Breaking free from it would take quite some time for an assassin, and this was enough time for his team and him to tear the enemy to shreds. However, as a very dense killing intent filled the eyes of the assassin controlled by Star Grasp, Xing Suo was immensely shocked. A very dense killing intent burst out from the assassin, and immediately, a dark golden sh of light glinted, like a devastating storm. Countless dark golden colored des appeared instantly, causing violent explosions which destroyed the Star Demonic Grasps control. Meanwhile, from a house a hundred meters away, a white light instantly illuminated the surroundings. It fell on the assassin and changed his direction with a strong pulling force, tugging him in the direction of the house. Kill them. With this shout of fury, an orange radiance was released from Xing Suos back, and his spiritual wings were unleashed. The other demons also followed his lead, and except for the Demonic Bear, the others flew at high speed towards the direction of that white glow. Among the ranks of the Demon Hunter Removers, the Demonic Bear was running towards the assassin. Making use of their ability of flight, the other demons chased in the direction of the white glow, while Xing Suo stayed a little behind in his capacity as their team leader. Suddenly, Xing Suo who was in the midst of elerating in his flight had a cold feeling of terror befall him. In his mind, he wasnt feeling the existence of any enemy nor danger, yet his instincts were telling him that a catastrophic situation was about to appear. As a powerhouse of the eighth step, Xing Suo didnt spend any time thinking, and with a dense sh in his eyes, a strong orange glint scattered from his body,unching an attack in the air around him. _No one?_ Due to sensing a threat to his life, Xing Suounched this all out attack. Given how powerful the Elemental Shock of a powerhouse of the eighth step was, it was fortunate that they were in the air when an explosion covering over a hundred meters diameters urred, otherwise Major Jacques City would have suffered a cmity. However, to his astonishment, the full power attack heunched in all directions didnt have the slightest effect, instead, that sense of dangering from his deepest inner self became all the more powerful. _Something is not right, the enemy was not around!_ Xing Suo suddenly realized that his defense wascking in one ce, the air. Right at that time, a furry grey radiance appeared, without emitting the slightest trace or fluctuation of spiritual energy, yet, it gave off a sad and beautiful touching feeling. Without even a mere figure appearing, all that appeared was the condensation of the grey luster from samsara. Xing Suos response was in the end toote. Now, all he could do was to set all his energy free and burst out with his full spiritual energy. Spreading his spiritual wings with a furious cry, he raised his staff. However, that all-directional full force attack from just before had consumed a huge portion of his spiritual energy, and even as a powerhouse of the eighth step, afterunching an all-out attack, he needed some time to recover his spiritual energy. But that poignant grey color descended right at that time, making perfect use of the opportunity. Right at that time, all the Demon Hunter Removers instantly stopped in their tracks, unconsciously looking up to the sky. They also had a feeling of crisis due to their instincts and looked up, right when the sky darkened. The sky turned grey, as if invaded by dark clouds, and the dense killing intent seemed to hover above all that. _Pop._ Neither his spiritual wings, his staff, his skull or the spiritual energy that was rapidly depleting could resist the force from being taken in by that poignant grey radiance. Xing Suo had an expression filled with disbelief, as his body froze in midair. Right at this moment, a pair of deep ck spiritual wings were unfolded in midair, being attached to an elegant figure. Also, right at this time, a golden figure appeared in the sky like a lightning bolt. It reached those ck wings, before a burst of bright light abruptly erupted from its chest. The next instant, the figure with the ck spiritual wings didnt even give those Demon Hunter Removers the time to make sense of the development, disappearing in the brilliance of the golden light. Xing Suo, who had had a lifeless look up till now, slowly fell from the sky, with his orange spiritual energy particr to Star Demons still igniting. However, his soul was already destroyed, taken by the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. The golden light shed again, and with a sweep from that golden figure, the corpse of the demon Xing Suo disappeared. The golden figure drew an elegant curve at low altitude, before heading for a cloud high up in the sky. All the Demon Hunter Removers looked dumbstruck, unable to conceive what had happened just before. How could Xing Suo possibly have died just like this? Wasnt his death just an inconceivable sight? And more importantly, ording to their senses, the enemy who just appeared wasnt that powerful, yet they managed to kill Xing Suo, Star Demon of the eighth step! How was it possible for him to die in an ambush like that? The Demonic Bear shouted in fury, What are you waiting for, instead of going after them? During this shout, his right foot stamped violently onto the ground, producing an ear-piercing bang that crashed arge area of surrounding buildings, turning them into a pile of rubble. The other Demon Hunter Removers finally reacted, and the eight powerhouses of the seventh step hurried to the sky, going right after that golden figure that was shrinking in the distance. The Demonic Bear, being unable of flight, could only stand in the same ce, looking up to the sky. To his astonishment he found out that the golden figure had four spiritual wings, and that his flying speed was so fast that it was far beyondpare with the Demon Hunter Removers. Suddenly, the Demonic Bear felt a shiver. _In the clouds, could it be_ Dont follow! Come back! He shouted, facing the sky. However, standing in the middle of a town, with the other Demon Hunter Removers already above a hundred meters high, the buzz and noises along with the undtions from their spiritual energy canceled all the sound from his shout. All he could do was to watch those eight Demon Hunt Removers in the sky disappear from his sight. The massive Demonic Bear suddenly had a feeling simr to the one of getting struck by lightning: _Fooled We were just fooled!_ From the moment the assassin appeared and had stopped the attack, they seemed to have fallen into an borate trap. The death of Xing Suo turned their Star Team Demon Hunter Remover squad into a headless dragon, and in the fury and panic, they fell head-long into their enemies trap. However, nothing about that could be changed now. The Demonic Bear relied on brute force, but this didnt mean he was a muscle brain. On the contrary, being a high-ranked demon, his intelligence wasnt inferior by much to Xing Suos. After his short period of stupor, he immediately raised his hand, throwing a ck golden ball, which pierced the skies before blowing up in midair, forming an immense purple ck cloud. This was the emergency signal of the Demon Hunter Removers. Now, all they could do was to wait for the other Demon Hunter Removers to rush to their help, hoping that his teammates wouldst against the ambush from the Demon Hunt Squads. From the strength the humans disyed before, it should be a king graded Demon Hunt Squad that they encountered. Their side was after all formed of eight powerhouses of the seventh step, and should be able to resist for some time against a king grade Demon Hunt Squad. Unfortunately, the Demonic Bear was mistaken. They indeed encountered a king grade Demon Hunt Squad, but there was also anothermander grade Demon Hunt Squad which was no less dangerous than the king grade squad. Lying in wait in the clouds was the true main force, formed of five king grade Demon Hunt Squad members plus fivemander grade Demon Hunt Squad members. While the Demon Hunter Removers seemed to be in no mood to consider their actions, the clouds in the sky turned bright and colorful. The battle onlysted for a short time, and along with muffled sounds of battle, the headless Star Team Demon Hunter Remover squad was exterminated. Although these Demon Hunter Removers were at the seventh step, being stripped of their leader and most powerful other member, Xing Suo and the Demonic Bear, how could they resist against an elite king grade and an elitemander grade Demon Hunt Squad? When thest corpses were retrieved, Long Haochen and Tian Qing exchanged a meaningful nce, and everyone pped their spiritual wings, rapidly following their route of escape. After living in seclusion for more than ten days, they finally got the opportunity they were waiting for. Ever since Xing Suos group entered Major Jacques City, they were already under their watch. Their strategy was very simple: their two assassins were supposed to ambush the Star Demon acting as their team leader, and then be rescued by Long Haochen using Yatings Saint Spiritual Stove. Afterwards, Long Haochen would lure the enemies into the sky. However, in their original n, Caier and the assassin were supposed to do their best to inflict some damage to the Star Demon, so that he wouldnt be able to join the battle. But no one had expected that the Star Demon would actually be killed by Caiers Dagger of Samsara. Chapter 397 - Star Team Annihilated (III)

Chapter 397: Star Team Annihted (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The most shocked were naturally the members of the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad, who would never have expected amander grade Demon Hunt Squad to have already reached such a terrifying level of strength. Were they really at the sixth step? Despite the massive gap of grade, they actually didnt look affected in the slightest. How could this be? Yet during the battle in midair, which was the first cooperated battle between the king grade Demon Hunt Squad and Long Haochens group, they noticed that everyone seemed to have a piece of Legendary Tier Equipment. From the start of the battle till the end, their attack, power, and cooperation with each other was wless. During the duration of the air battle, four of the Demon Hunter Removers were killed by the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, earning them half of the merit. With Caier killing the Star Demon, the utility of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad was more than what they had hoped for. ording to the agreement between Long Haochen and Tian Qing, the corpses of the demons would belong to whichever of the two Demon Hunt Squads delivering the fatal blow. The profits aside, the contribution points tile would record the kills by itself. During the attack, the two Demon Hunt Squadsunched their attacks from two different directions. After going through this battle, Tian Qing was amply convinced that it wasnt by luck that Long Haochens group had managed to kill a Jacques Chief of the eighth step. Just what had they managed to do? Long Haochen led their assault, with a Light Elementary Fairy at his side who was able to use the power of a Saint Spiritual Stove to get the attention of four of the Demon Hunter Removers. And with his own power, Long Haochen managed to repel the attacks from the four Demon Hunt Removers to give hisrades the chance tounch their attacks from the air. And those allies of his, just what were those people? Their techniques and attacks were simply unheard of. A shield used as a battle axe, a huge ball used tounch destructive smashing attacks, and one squad member that made a phoenix appear. And the fiercest of them was still their summoner, just what did she call out? Wasnt that a Devil Dragon? With its appearance alone he left those demons half-dead of fright, so that they didnt even put up a fight. The results were obvious, and that terrifying four-headed mount of Long Haochens didnt even participate in the fight. If one could say that during the battle against the Jacques Demons, the seven members of the king grade Demon Hunt Squad were shocked by the fighting strength of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, then this time, they were totally numb. Even though Tian Qing clearly understood that he shouldnt ask about the secrets of other people, he felt too curious about the fact that amander grade Demon Hunt Squad, only reaching the sixth step, would match their own king grade Demon Hunt Squad in fighting strength. Never before did he hear of such a powerfulmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, and furthermore, given the number of their Demon Hunt Squad, they should have advanced in grade pretty recently. However, he could still see that Long Haochensrades were mainly powerful regarding burst strength and no more, yet their burst attacks were really terrifying. Actually, it was no wonder that Tian Qing found this hard toprehend. Who could have guessed that Long Haochens team was actually entirely equipped with spiritual stoves? And the overwhelming majority of their group even had fused spiritual stoves. This was the most important reason for the high level of burst power of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. The two Demon Hunt Squads quicklynded afar, after reaching the ce Tian Qing found somehow by following naturalndmarks. A rock moved , revealing a dark cave. They entered after they first concealed all their traces. This path was also leading to the team section. After everyone entered the team section, their faces were brimming with excitement. A sure kill with one attack. With the exception of the Demonic Bear, this whole Demon Hunter Remover squad had been destroyed, including even one Star Demon at the eighth step. One might well imagine their outstanding military service from that alone. The death of a Star Demon of the eighth step was one of the missions epted by Long Haochens group, one which had huge rewards. This was also what pushed Caier to take risks aiming for the enemys life. Haochen, wheres yourrade? Is she alright? Tian Qing inquired. Actually when Caier killed the Star Demon in one blow, her attack even caused changes in the sky, giving them a great shock. Long Haochen shook his head, replying, Shes all right. Let us rest and reorganize for now. Lin Xin who used the Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix and Sima Xian who made use of the Spiritual Stove of Purple Thunder looked both somewhat pale, clearly from the secondary effects of the spiritual stoves. They all needed some rest. After saying this, he hastily returned hisrades to their respective rooms, not giving Tian Qing the time to inquire any more. Seeing the figure of Long Haochens back as he left, Tian Qing sighed secretly. After suppressing his curiosity, he still found not asking too much was for the better. Caier had been transported to the Tower of Eternity by Long Haochen, and although he looked rather calm, he was actually burning of anxiety deep inside. Caier and him had always been together, which was to say, no one could understand Caier better than him. Under normal circumstances, even by using the power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, she could not instantly kill a powerhouse of the eighth step, even if that powerhouse of the eighth step was purely specialized in magic like a Star Demon. This wasnt the first demon of the eighth step that Long Haochen faced, and hisprehension regarding the power of the eighth step was really profound. In particr, given her perfect concealment when Caierunched her attack, making a sure kill in one blow, something was bound to have happened. Thus, after finding out that something was wrong with Caier, Long Haochen had no choice but to take the risk of exposing the Tower of Eternity by sending her there. He prefered to take the risk rather than staying any longer on the battlefield, where it was really too dangerous for her. For the rest of the battle, Long Haochen also kept going all out, to take care of the battle as fast as he could to return as soon as possible. The reason was naturally to examine Caiers condition, and not because he was in a hurry to return to his room. With a glint of bright light, the Eternal Melody was reactivated. Long Haochen transported himself to the Tower of Eternity very impatiently right after getting back to his room. Although they could already train at the second floor of the Tower of Eternity, the entrance of the tower was still on the first floor. Caier was quietly sitting there, cross legged, and in one nce, Long Haochens look immediately changed. This was because he abruptly realized that he could feel no sign of life from Caiers body, while she sat there like a sculpture. Caier! Long Haochen called out in anxiety, but still, he was in the end no impetuous person who rashly dared to touch Caiers body. Cautiously crouching closer, he used his great mental force to scout for Caiers breath. At such a close distance, Long Haochen finally managed with difficulty to sense traces of Caiers fluctuations of spiritual energy. The feelings of unease in him gradually turned into surprise. Caiers breath was still present, but it was very weak. And the spiritual energy in her seemed to have blended in with her surrounding environment, as if she turned into a part of the Tower of Eternity. Since none of her habitual killing intent was emitted, she gave off the feeling of being one with the world. _Could it be that Caier is having her awakening as a gods chosen one?_ Long Haochen wasnt certain, but felt faintly that although Caiers current state couldnt be described as good, it wasnt a dangerous one either. What a foolish girl you are, to act so recklessly. Long Haochen sighed lightly, but had an indulgent look towards Caier. Sitting near her, his gaze didnt strayed from her, sensing some changes in her aura. Before Caier awoke, he could absolutely not leave her side. As Long Haochen guessed, it was obviously not by using her normal strength that Caier managed to kill Xing Suo in one blow. ording to Long Haochen and Tian Qings ns, the assassin from their king grade Demon Hunt Squad was supposed to try assassinating the Star Demon. Their assassin was a powerhouse of the seventh step, and an assassin at the seventh step had certainly some chance of sess in killing a mage at the eighth step. Based on their original ns, they didnt have extravagant hopes of sess to kill the Star Demon, and only hoped to inflict some serious damage. Not familiar with Caiers strength, Tian Qing gave her the mission of assisting in the assassination from the sidelines. However, the first time the Star Demons senses saved him, the assassin of the seventh step was found out faster than expected. Although he gave his all tounch his attack, it only inflicted light wounds on the Star Demon and did nothing more. However, the intervention of the assassin of the seventh step attracted without a doubt the attention of all the Demon Hunter Removers. And right at this time, Caier, who was using the Ne of Invisibility inbination with her own ability of the sixth step, Invisibility, stayed floating at a distance of a hundred meters from the ground, waiting for an opportunity. Caier understood very clearly that to get rid of this Demon Hunter Remover squad within the shortest period of time possible, the most important matter was to suppress the fighting power of the Star Demon acting as their leader. Otherwise, given the great power of Star Demons and that unstoppable Great Prophecy Technique, when trying their utmost against them, some casualties would very possibly ur. Thus, right at that time, Caier only had a single thought, and that was to try her utmost against that Star Demon. As for how much shed be able to do, she didnt give it much thought as she knew that Long Haochen would definitelye to save her in case of mortal danger. This absolute confidence got rid of any worries from Caiers side, and her determination brought her into a very special state. The Saint Daughter of Samsara was not inferior to the Scion of Light in the slightest, and an unprecedented power emerged in Caiers body. Right then, Caiers eyes and mind were solely focused on her target, as if nothing else except for that Star Demon or herself existed in the world. While having an absolute focus, vanishing entirely, and raising her senses to their ultimate level, Caier disappeared entirely. Just like Long Haochen sensed it before, in her previous attack, she became like a cloud in the sky, a gust of wind among the clouds. Even the Star Demon of the eighth step had no way to sense her existence. Under these circumstances, the Dagger of Samsara and the Spiritual Stove of Samsara produced an unprecedented destructive power that appeared in Caiers mind. Right at that moment, she felt her own senses merge with each other, drawing all their power from her instincts. She herself didnt even understand how sheunched such a blow. Chapter 398 - Dragon Team? (I)

Chapter 398: Dragon Team? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Afterpleting this blow, Caier lost her six senses, and her whole body remained as an integral part of nature even as it got transported by Long Haochen to the Tower of Eternity. This time, the loss of her senses wasnt due to the aftereffects of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. After fusing three spiritual stoves, Caier could already use the Spiritual Stove of Samsara once without suffering its bacsh, and after this use, she only needed to rest for a period of time to avoid the aftereffects the next time she used it. Of course, if she wanted to exert a greater deal of the power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara by, using it several times in session, it would still cause the same bacsh as before. Her special statested for three days and three nights, after which the changes in her aura calmed and Long Haochens worries settled. He knew that Caier must have been immersed in aprehensive state. While the other members from the Demon Hunt Squad rested and reorganized in the team section, the whole Major Jacques City was caught in a fric state. The sudden strike of the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad and the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, and their sess in killing a Demon Hunter Removers squad brought a massive shock to the group of demons living in the city. Demons werent idiots; for them to still have gotten raided by a Demon Hunt Squad after searching for such a long time, what did it mean? It meant that the Temple Alliance ought to have a hiding ce in the surroundings. With the momentum, a second underground search was done thoroughly in Jacques City, and six more Demon Hunter Remover squads assembled again in the city. The Demonic Bear, only survivor of the Star Team Demon Hunter Remover squad, was fuming, and searched even one meter deep underground. The whole Jacques n was mobilized by this cmity that happened in the Jacques Province. The situation outside was very tense, to the extent that even the news conveyed to the team section were bing rarer and rarer. However, Tian Qing didnt worry. Given how immense the team sections of the Temple Alliance were, reaching a depth of ten meters, and given their specialized barriers, even the finest powerhouse of the ninth step wouldnt be able to find its location when exerting his mental force in search for them. As for digging one meter deep, would they really find the ce? Demon Hunt Squads nevercked in patience. After the achievement of killing a Demon Hunter Remover squad, even staying there for several months would be very ordinary for them. This wasnt the first time such a situation ured. Sky of Jacques City. AhBao had a grave expression, standing in a room arranged by the Jacques Demons he looked outside of the window. Behind him, nine demon powerhouses stood calmly. Yue Ye was among these nine demons, but there was no trace of Leng Xiao. Although being the son of the Demon God Emperor, among Demon Hunter Removers, AhBao wasnt much privileged. The team hemanded was just an ordinary Dragon Team type Demon Hunter Remover squad. Except for the fact that he was already at the eighth step of cultivation while Yue Ye only reached the sixth step of cultivation, the other members were all at the seventh step. The experience in the Illusory Paradise brought AhBao great shame and humiliation. He made the pledge to kill the human that disgraced him, before taking Yue Ye as his wife. Thus, he requested to lead a Demon Hunter Remover squad even with his standing as prince of the demons, and led his team to thoroughly search for traces of Long Haochen and hisrades. AhBao waspletely certain that Long Haochen was a Demon Hunter, and the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad. As long as this was the case, he would definitely have toe to the demon territory at some point. For this reason, he had been waiting for an opportunity and for news. When he learned about the raid that happened during these past days in Major Jacques City, and especially received the report about a golden figure on the battlefield, he was certain that this golden figure was most likely Long Haochen. This was what led him to bring his own team and wait for ten days. Although on the surface, AhBao didnt seem much privileged, who in this bunch wouldnt know of his status as the demon crown prince? Moreover, even at the eighth step, which other team leader of a Demon Hunter Remover squad could possiblypare with him? Therefore, after his arrival here, the whole Major Jacques City was under hisplete control. The second search was already over, and there were still no clues. It looked as though those two Demon Hunt Squads had vanished from the face of the earth since then. Brother Bao, the search is already over. Those Demon Hunters should have already left the area. It seems to me that we shouldnt keep wasting our time here. Yue Ye said in a low voice to AhBao from behind. AhBao shook his head, the expression on his face looking cold and stern, No, I am certain that they are still in Major Jacques City. Its just that we dont know where they are hidden. During thest few days, I carefully asked around several times, and learned that the emergency signal was timelyunched by the Demonic Bear, and that the closest two Demon Hunter Remover squads took less than a quarter of an hour toe to their aid. And while arriving, those squads had a good overview over the situation from the sky. So if those Demon Hunters escaped onnd, they should definitely have found some traces. However, the Demon Hunters just disappeared, yet no one saw them escape. ording to our intelligence, its very likely that there is a team section of the Temple Alliance somewhere in Major Jacques City, and they should be hidden there. I guess they are waiting, waiting for us to rx our vignce to escape or keep attacking. But if they want to have a battle of patience? Ive never beencking in that regard. I have already prepared an inescapable trap, and dont believe that he will still be able to escape from me this time. I will personally kill him, before present you his heart as a gift of marriage. Just like human powerhouses collected demon crystals, demons liked to take the heart of human powerhouses as spoils of war. To them, a human heart indirectly moisturized by the spiritual cavities was an absolutely good gift. AhBao didnt notice that after he said this, Yue Yes eyes shed with traces of hatred. They were just hidden extremely well and very fast. Yue Ye didnt follow the matter any further, because she understood clearly that when AhBao was really determined to do something, even the Demon God Emperor would hardly be able to change his mind. Among the young demon generation, AhBao was undoubtedly the most outstanding. Being the sessor of the Demon God Emperor, he was not the same as the other Devil Dragons. His strength was gained through his own efforts, bit by bit. At the time of his birth, he hadnt been any different from a weak human baby. This was a process every sessor of the Demon God Emperor, carrying his bloodline, had to go through. Only this way could they skyrocket in strength after breaking through to the ninth step, bing a respected member of their generation of demons. However, his brilliance and standing as sessor of the Demon God Emperor made AhBao susceptible to a weakness that was yet not seen as a weak point by other people. That was his pride. More nicely said, it was his absolute confidence in himself. And Yue Ye happened to not like this trait. She knew that, although AhBao was treating her well, he would never think things through from other peoples point of view. Even a suggestion from her would very rarely be paid any heed to by him. Yue Ye had no choice but to acknowledge that AhBaos choice was proper, because she also knew clearly who was part of the Demon Hunters. Wasnt the ce where Long Haochens team separated from the Yue Ye Merchant Group near the Jacques Province? This was what made her all the more anxious. Yet, she was neither able to persuade AhBao to leave, nor did she have any way to warn Long Haochen because she didnt know where he was. Right when AhBao made his resolve to act, Yue Ye also made a resolve deep in her heart to do all she could if the time came, even if she had to use herself as a bargaining chip to help them escape. After all, her own life was in the hands of that girl. Originally, Yue Ye had already epted her fate. Who would dare oppose a marriage decided by the Demon God Emperor and the Moon Demon God? She absolutely didnt dare, and didnt have the heart to resist. But her originally fixed marriage was dyed due to Long Haochen. When AhBao told her the news with an ashamed and uneasy feeling, Yue Ye actually discovered that she rejoiced about these news. This gave her all the more reason to help Long Haochen. As long as he didnt die, perhaps she would not need to marry AhBao. When shed reach an age high enough to lose her beauty, perhaps he would not be interested in her anymore. Team section. Haochen, good news came. The Demon Hunter Removers are already retreating, and now, only one team is remaining in the city. They should be staying at the castle of Jacques City. What do you think? Should we give it a try? Tian Qings eyes gleamed. After pondering for a moment, Long Haochen asked, Couldnt this be a bluff? Although this time, the demons have been searching for another fifteen days, they still left too quickly without any results. I find that abnormal. Tian Qing nodded in admiration. Haochen looked young, but his character was extremely steady. What youre speaking about isnt impossible, but risking our lives is originally our mission. We are always in danger, but danger is also synonym for opportunity. We have been staying here for too long. When we act again, well have to leave this ce no matter whether it turns out as sess or failure. For this reason, we have two options. First, to leave without acting. Or second, to attack that team of Demon Hunter Removers staying in the city before leaving. The searches outside should have ceased, and the frequency of the news reports we are receiving from our people keep increasing. If you are still unsure, how about we wait for more information for some days, before finallying to a decision. Long Haochen cheerfully agreed, Okay, then lets do as big brother Tian Qing says. Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and news kepting from the outside, indicating all kinds of happenings. Those Demon Hunter Removers indeed all left, but the demon side dispatched a Fiend Cavalry of one thousand to help guarding the Jacques Province. The news indicated that soon no more Demon Hunt Removers would stay to guard the city. Haochen, we cannot keep waiting. ording to the news that just came, thest Demon Hunter Remover squad is already outside the city, and should be about to leave. This is an extremely good opportunity. Long Haochen still had some hesitation, Big brother Tian Qing, this time we got quite good results here. How about going for the dependable way and leave this ce now? In another ce, we can also ambush Demon Hunter Removers. For some reason, in his unconscious mind, he felt a certain feeling of danger, as if some indistinct eyes were watching him all the time. Chapter 399 - Dragon Team? (II)

Chapter 399: Dragon Team? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Tian Qing wrinkled his brows, somewhat unsatisfied with Long Haochens reply. In a deep voice, he dered, How about doing this, Haochen, I will not force you. This time, our team will be the main force of the operation, and your group will be providing support. If it really turns out to be a trap from the demons, you can immediately flee and not care about us. While he spoke these words, Tian Qings tone clearly became rougher. Although his team received great favors from Long Haochens group, being a king grade Demon Hunt Squad, they had always been having great autonomous power, and Tian Qing was the absolute core of his team. Therefore, he felt very confident about his ability in making decisions. Owing favors didnt mean submission, all the more for a king grade Demon Hunt Squad with a high rank such as them. Tian Qings group had just experienced a huge setback, so this second operation was their best opportunity to show their strength. Since they devolved the authority to this extent, Long Haochen naturally had difficulty to say anything more, and could only ept Tian Qings ns with a nod. The n was rapidly carried out, and Long Haochen followed the agreement, letting Tian Qings group lead the attack while his team would support them from the rear. After all, the enemy didnt know there were two Demon Hunt Squads here. Having a force in reserve would greatly increase the safety of the two teams. Regarding this point, Tian Qing didnt feel discontented after further reflection. Being more dependable wasnt bad at all, after his own team attacked sessfully, they would give some gains as payback to Long Haochens group. As long as they seeded, hisrades would recover from the blow their self-confidence just took. During their negotiations, they received the information that thest Demon Hunter Remover squad was already heading out of the city. Making a prompt decision, Tian Qing took a heavy tone, Lets go. We will be heading out now, and intercept them outside. An attack outside of the city will be even more effective than inside, at least we wont have to worry about the Jacques Demons surrounding us. Long Haochen nodded to him, Big brother Tian Qing, be extremely careful. If you notice something going wrong, we will shield you by acting as diversion. Then youll have enough time to quickly withdraw as we have our own means to get away. Yeah. Tian Qing gave an indifferent reply, turning back to lead his ownrades. Actually, he didnt mind Long Haochensstment. Being a king grade Demon Hunt Squad, would they let amander grade Demon Hunt Squad shield them while they escaped? That would be too great a loss of face. Moreover, he didnt believe there was any problem with his n. The group of thirteen appeared from nowhere, with the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad in front and the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad in the rear. Everyone was already entirely equipped. Caier quietly followed Long Haochen. If one paid careful attention, they would notice that a change appeared on the current Caierpared to before. The coldness emanating from her seemed to have vanished, bing less distinctpared to the past, even her eyes looked a lot more gentle than before. But upon careful inspection, one would also notice that Caiers reserved look made her all the more terrifying, as if she was hidden deep inside a bottomless pit. After three days of rest, Caier recovered her senses, but didnt manage to start her awakening as a gods chosen one. But that day of bing one with her weapon for the first time made her ability even more effective, giving her a lot more power. After returning to the team section, Caier had stayed secluded till they headed out. She had the strong feeling that her awakening as a gods chosen one was about to happen anytime now, and that she was now very close to a turning point. Very possibly, what shecked for the awakening to start wasnt effort, but a bursting sh ofprehension. Everyone were powerhouses of the sixth step or above, so even when advancing underground under Tian Qings lead, their speed was great. When they saw the light again, they appeared outside of Major Jacques City. Without need for Tian Qings instruction, the mage and priest of his team got moving ,unching Falcon Eye and Eyes of Truth to scout the field ahead of them. The mage reported in a low voice, Found them. Its a group of ten that just came out of the city, lead by a ck-d young looking demon, of indiscernible race. However, his aura is extremely powerful, and its very possibly a Devil Dragon. If so, we are going to encounter a Dragon Team type Demon Hunter Remover squad. The priest immediately reported, No invisible enemy lying in wait within a thousand meters, everything is regr. Tian Qing asked the mage, Any traces of an ambush nearby? Investigate more carefully. The mage nodded, reinforcing his output of spiritual energy andunched Eagle Eye in all directions. This mages greatest ability of detection could even detect invisible demons, this spell avable to mages of the seventh step, helped to scout at a range of up to at least ten kilometers. When focusing on a smaller range, its detection would be more detailed. A short timeter, the mage replied, Everything is normal. The demons already left the city, and dont look about to fly, only advancing rapidly toward the Central Province. The ck-d youth aside, theres also a girl cloaked in white, with an humanoid appearance. Her cultivation or race cannot be seen. At their back, there are four other humanoid demon powerhouses and two bestial demons, one Jacques Demon and a Demonic Bear. I can say with confidence that except for the ck d youth, at least two of the other humanoid demons are pure magic users. They are leaving at fast speed, so we already dont have the time for an ambush. I suggest meeting them head on. We should have odds of seventy percent to get rid of them. Tian Qing nodded, giving a loud shout, Go! As he said that, he abruptly drew his own heavy sword. Lifting the golden shield in his left hand, a dazzling dark golden radiance spread out from him. With a low roar, an immense Earth Dragon appeared in front of him. This was a magical beast of the eighth step, Vajra Dragon, the most powerful kind of Earth Dragon,parable with a human powerhouse of the seventh step. More importantly, its defensive ability was immense. When contracted with one, a knight gained one more ultra-strong meat shield, that even a powerhouse of the eighth step wouldnt be able to kill in a short time. Tian Qing straightened his posture, directly climbing on the back of his Vajra Dragon. The warrior and the assassin also mounted the dragon. Their summoner of the seventh step held a silver colored crystal ball in his hands, murmuring some chants of incantation, before three glows of light shed, and three Lightning Panthers, magical beasts of the sixth rank, appeared before everyone. The mage, the priest and he himself each mounted one of them. At this time, their battle attainment as a king grade Demon Hunt Squad emerged. Of course, they could rely on their spiritual wings to snipe on the enemies from the air, but Demon Hunter Removers werent any weaklings, let alone a Dragon team type Demon Hunt Remover squad, which was the hardest existence to handle aside from king teams. Thus, they were economizing their spiritual energy. Moreover their existence wouldnt be noticed as easily on the ground. Lightning Panthers were magical beasts with ordinary attack and defense, but as wind elemental magical beasts, their speed was as fast as lightning. This ability made them undoubtedly the best mounts for mage type vocations. Right after getting on the back of the magical beast, the mage immediately grabbed his staff and started a low-chant, letting the Lightning Panther run as it pleased. It was as if he was stuck on its back and could therefore remain focused on his chant, without the slightest distraction or rush. The group of six rapidly rushed towards their enemy on the only possible road they had found by the use of the Eagle Eye. Everyone in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad was naturally looking at Long Haochen. With a purple sh in his eyes, Haoyues immense figure appeared before everyone. Already reaching eleven meters in height, Haoyues body could already be described as massive, and those two immense bulges on the sides of his heads appeared all the more distinct. Besides his four heads that were sticking up, it could clearly be seen that the bulges that had originally shrunk regrew through the past year, now reaching a noticeable size again. The now already had a size close to the other heads, as if they would emerge at anytime. This was even more true now that Haoyue ate quite a few magical crystals. After the consumption of all those crystals his faintly discernible terrifying aura even asionally gave Long Haochen some great shock. The seven of them were all seated on Haoyues back, but Long Haochen alone was standing on top of Little Lights Head. Meanwhile, Haoyue strode forward vigorously on his four limbs, chasing after the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad. Nheless, under Long Haochens directions, he trailed a kilometer behind them, and did his utmost to look for covers hiding his huge body. Long Haochen was actually very hopeful and fearless himself. After their previous ambush, over ten of their sixteen ughter Missions were alreadypleted, and the greatest achievement among them was thepletion of the mission to kill the Star Demon which was second only in difficulty to the one consisting of killing a demon god. The mission of attacking the seventy-second ced demon god, who was located in a remote province, required all of them to go all out to handle him. But for them, giving their all was enough. But the Star Demon was a different matter, the overwhelming majority of Star Demons were living in Modu Core City, to say nothing of a Star Demon of the eighth step. In case they acted in the Core City, staying undiscovered would turn out to be really difficult. Due to the terrifying pressure of the Demon God Emperor, the Temple Alliance never managed to set up a team section in Modu Core City, moreover, countless demon powerhouses were also present there. They really didnt think that they would aplish an extremely difficult mission like killing a demon god, thus everyone was a lot more rxed. Over these past two months, they alreadypleted most of their ughter Missions, and this naturally permitted them to take it slower from then onwards. They just hoped that this second attack would also seed. The two Demon Hunt Squads rushed forward at rapid speed, and Tian Qing still took great care of Long Haochens side, asionally changing positions and wielding his sword to tell Long Haochen about their situation, while mainly hinting that the distance to their enemies was still far. Chapter 400 - Dragon Team? (III)

Chapter 400: Dragon Team? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen suddenly felt his heartbeat elerating, as if some immaterial force was affecting him. In front of them, Tian Qing just ryed the message that the enemy was only three kilometers away, and that they wouldunch an attack in roughly two minutes. Long Haochen suddenly turned his head towards Lin Xin and shouted, Lin Xin, Eagle Eye! Hurry up, examine if theres not anything strange with that Demon Hunter Remover squad! Lin Xin reacted immediately, sensing that something was amiss with Long Haochens behaviour. Not daring to rx, he hurriedly waved the Fire Crystal Staff in his hand and released an Eagle Eye Technique. During this time, the two Demon Hunt Squads were advancing forward, still approaching the enemy. Long Haochen asked eagerly, How did it go? Lin Xin furrowed his brows, I saw the enemy. Its very strange, I feel that the man leading them is quite strange. Theres a hat on his head, covering his face, yet I feel that hes very familiar. Also, the girl in the white cloak behind him feels very familiar as well. Wait! Thats her! Lin Xin suddenly cried out in rm in front of his whole team, and Long Haochen asked in a rush, Who? Lin Xin replied, Thats Yue Ye! The girl in their team is Yue Ye! No good! Could their leader be the one from that time. Right, while using Eagles Eye to scout, Lin Xin learned that the girl standing as second-inmand of this team was removing her cloak exposing her face. Although it onlysted for an instant, the purple hair around her face and her close to perfect looks were seen clearly by Lin Xin. Wasnt that clearly Yue Ye? Long Haochen instantly looked sullen, We have been fooled, this was a trap! He looked forward, at the group of Tian Qing. But right then, Tian Qing just crossed the hillside, disappearing from Long Haochens line of sight. Strong magic fluctuations instantly erupted, and even from afar, they could clearly sense the temperature fall, as terrible fluctuations of energy rose. Obviously, the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad was going all out in their attack, and Long Haochens realization was a bitte. Right, that group leaving Major Jacques City unhurriedly was formed of AhBao and his dragon team type Demon Hunter Remover squad. Aftering to an urate judgement, AhBao took time toy an inescapable to trap Long Haochens group. Their methods were very simple: First of all, they did their utmost to stay out of the range of detection of the Demon Hunt Squads, before retiring the other Demon Hunter Remover squads one after another. Thereby, they gradually made Long Haochens group rx their vignce. When they left the town, their goal was naturally to pull the snake out of its hole. But how could they bait out the fish without giving Long Haochens group the opportunity for an ambush? AhBaos stratagem wasnt anything brilliant, but rather absolutely simple and effective. Long Haochen and Tian Qing were both intelligent people, but sometimes, truth and deceivement were not easy to tell apart, especially with AhBaos absolute confidence in his n. This was also the reason why he ced the troops for his ambush very far from the city. The instant Yue Ye took off her cloak, AhBao shot her an unsatisfied nce. And right at that time, intense magic fluctuations suddenly announced the appearance of a Demon Hunt Squad with six members, rushing towards them. Not that person. This was AhBaos first judgment. But no matter what, it was still a Demon Hunt Squad. And furthermore, for a Demon Hunt Squad to have the courage to attack him, it should at least be a king grade Demon Hunt Squad, thus getting rid of it would already be quite a big aplishment. A grimugh escaped AhBaos mouth, and with a cold shout, he ordered, Defensive formation. right after saying that, he waved his right hand and shot a purple-ck ball of light into the sky, which exploded with an intense light. This was the signal, the signal tounch the ambush. The immense Demonic Bear strode forward inrge steps, and right then, powerful magic erupted. Ice Storm, an ice crowd spell of the seventh step. The 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad had only a total of three pieces of Legendary Equipment: the shield in Tian Qings hand, the Silver Crystal Ball of their summoner, and the staff of their mage. This was the optimal pattern of allocation that most Demon Hunt Squads would choose, ensuring the Demon Hunt Squads best survivability and attack power. Without a doubt, the mage was their most powerful attacker. Ice Storm was arge scale spell, for which even a mage of the seventh step needed at least a minute to cast. But even so, this spell was the most powerful one of the ice element for the whole seventh step. Moreover, the mage from the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad was chanting slowly, dying the use of his magic to increase the condensation of the magic power even further. Fistsized snowkes streamed from the sky, producing an ice-cold and overwhelming feeling. Moreover, they were apanied by unsurpassable whizzing sounds. Each snowke was as destructive as a sharp de, cutting the air apart, and severing everything in their path. In the midst of the terrible whizzing sounds, the snowkes were elerating, and the king grade Demon Hunt Squad followed, advancing with overwhelming speed. Ice Storm wasnt a pure water elemental spell, but also included the wind element. The staff from the mage of the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad was also of the rarely seen dual ice and wind element, giving this spell an even greater power. When used right, it clearly carried the might and power of a fire spell. One could see that during the use of the spell, the mages face gradually became paler. From this, one may well imagine how massive the burden on him was. This was an absolutely unavoidable spell, covering a scale of several square kilometers. AhBao and his demon allies rapidly gathered, while the Demonic Bear inteced his fingers and stood upright and unafraid. One could watch all his hairs hardening, and some deep purple-ck ripples covering his body. He stood like a protective shield, about to resist the powerful iing attack. Two ck-d youths slowly stood behind him, emitting a deep purple radiance from their hands, and to ones shock, a staff appeared in the hands of each of them. Furthermore, they radiated very powerful magic fluctuations. Although they didnt reach the Legendary Tier, they were an existence at the peak of the Glorious Tier. In fact, demon mages would rarely use staffs. Darkness element staffs could only be made by demons themselves, given that the Temple Alliance would never make staffs of this element! From the appearance of two of them, the level of power of this dragon team type Demon Hunter Remover squad could easily be discerned. Even without AhBaos presence, the strength of this Demon Hunter Remover squad was already far above the group Long Haochens team had encountered before. AhBaos body slowly straightened up, standing in the center of their team. In front of the overwhelming Ice Tempest, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly took off his hat, before smashing a powerful fist to the sky. Right when this fist erupted in the sky, it tore the space apart, and those snowkes were suddenly crushed, rendered unable to reach them. Powerful magic and strong defense. Right as this sh urred, the most dominant event on the battlefield was the ear-piercing breaking sound, and the tempest of ice and snow slowly gathering in the center after covering the area of a square kilometer. Gradually, a massive tornado of snow and ice formed, hitting the ten demon powerhouses. This spell was the trump card of the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad, as well as the greatest attack this mage could use. In the same way as Lin Xins Phoenix of Blue Fire, the use of this attack drained all energy from him and made him lose all his battle force at once. While the Ice Tempest spread out, the others from the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad naturally didnt stay idle, but rushed straight forward at an astounding speed. Their priest already released healing abilities to help the mage recover his spiritual energy. The summoner also started to chant rapidly, summoning one magical beast of the sixth step after another, aiming straight at the Demon Hunter Removers. Tian Qing lifted his sword above his head, brazenly meeting the Demonic Bear head on, while their assassin became invisible, and the warrior took out a gigantic axe. The main reason why Tian Qing was confident in his ability to ambush this Demon Hunter Remover squad was fundamentally because of their powerful spell Ice Storm. He had immense confidence in their mage. ording to his calctions, this spell would at least be able to weaken the enemy forces by a third, greatly affecting their troops, while at the same time , causing a loss of speed on their side due to the ice and freezing temperature. If so, the rest of the battle would naturally go on their pace, and Tian Qing was confident in being able to end this battle in short time, before instantly escaping. He nned to return to the same team section as before to rest and reorganize. As long as this worked out, even staying hidden for three more months was no problem to them, and they would afterwards leave this ce to fulfill other missions. The instant Ice Storm covered all of their enemies, Tian Qing seemed to think this mission was alreadypleted. However, when he was a hundred meters away from the enemies, his face changed greatly yet again. He anticipated the resistance of the Demonic Bear, since after all, Demonic Bears were well known for their defense. However, the defense of their middle and their rear went against his expectations. With Ice Storm being an omnidirectional attack, having strong defense on only one side was insufficient. Still, the enemies managed to defend against it at all sides. The two demons in the rear produced an immense barrier, constantly repelling the attacks from Ice Storm, and although supporting it was strenuous and forced them tounch spells one after another, they still held well against it. Most importantly, that ck d young man floating in the air, annihted the great majority of the power from Ice Storm with his fists, lessening the power of their spell at least by half. Although they were still affected by the freezing cold, at least until now, there were no signs of true injuries among the people in their ranks. In fact, that mage from the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad couldnt maintain this spell for too long, because after all, his magical power was limited.

Chapter 401: Mythril Foundation Armored Long Haochen (I)

Trantor: GravityTales It looked as if this Demon Hunter Remover squad would indeed not be easy to handle. But even so, the current Tian Qing didnt show the slightest intention to cower and let Long Haochens squad provide support. Moreover, the enemy was in the end still weakened by the Ice Storm. The Vajra Dragon charged once again, lowering its immense head and aiming straight for the Demonic Bear. Currently, the Demonic Bear was still using both of his hands to defend his head and was unable to resist the charge of the Vajra Dragon. In the sky, the Ice Stormponents had now the size of ice chips, and none of the snowkesnded on Tian Qing. A terrible battle unfolded right then. Tian Qings strength explodedpletely, and one could see the head of the Vajra Dragon sh against the body of the Demonic Bear. In some regard, Vajra Dragons and Demonic Bears were simr existences. They both possessed strong defense and attack power, but were slow, and not capable of flight. _Bang!_ The hardest part of the Vajra Dragon, his head, shed against the arms of the Demonic Bear. The demonic bears body was huge but the Vajra Dragon was still domineering inparison, to say nothing that the Vajra Dragon still benefitted from the momentum of his charge. Under normal circumstances, a Vajra Dragon of the same grade would best a Demonic Bear, and although it wouldnt be enough to inflict serious damage to the counterpart, at least pushing the Demonic Bear aside would be no problem. ording to Tian Qings calctions, its attack would be followed by his teams warrior and himself. They would swarm the enemies ranks to kill the demons, relying on the burst of power from Ice Storm, which should at least have greatly reduced the fighting power of the enemies. However, he made one more miscalction. In the midst of a violent explosion, the Demonic Bears feet left a profound ravine in the ground, but the attack didnt knock him down, because a ck figure uratelynded right at the back of the Demonic Bear, steadying his defense with his hands. This Demonic Bear now looked like an immense shield. Even with its defensive power, under these circumstances, he couldnt help but make a stuffy groan as blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. However, the price the Demonic Bear paid in form of these injuries, undoubtedly brought them great benefits. Tian Qing immediately felt like coughing out his blood, and his originally powerful ability, alsobined with Storing Power, naturally changed targets. His heavy sword violently struck against the Demonic Bear, instead of aiming at the weakened enemies on their rear. The figure supporting the Demonic Bear from behind was naturally AhBao, who didnt omit to hit the sky with another punch to counteract the Ice Storm, while blocking the enemy. However, he could still not cover all sides, and arge quantity of snowkes was still closing in on them from all directions. However, the other demons werent newbies either! Being powerhouses of the seventh step, resisting the Ice Storm for some time was no problem for them. _Bang!_ The Demonic Bears body glinted with golden light, and with another stuffy groan, he still didnt draw back. He relied on his brute strength to block Tian Qings offense, while stamping the ground one time after another. The intense vibrating of the ground he caused stopped the Vajra Dragon fromunching a second attack. Right at this time, Yue Ye made a frail shout, and created purplish ck ripples all around her. Instantly, an illusory figure appeared in the air, and aimed precisely at her. A Fiend Demon of the seventh step unfolded his wings and ascended, immediately blocking the king grade assassin with his blood coloured heavy sword,pelling him back. At this time of the battle, Tian Qing and his king grade Demon Hunt Squad were already in a passive position. Tian Qing never expected the enemies to be so hard to handle. The Ice Storm was already weakening, and although therge quantity of magical beasts called by their summoner already joined the battle, those magical beasts could only dy the attacks of the enemies for some time. They were far from powerful enough to wound them. What could they do know? This was the time for Tian Qing to make a choice. Making prompt decisions while wearing his Mythril Foundation Armor, he whistled long while facing the sky. This was his signal for Long Haochen. At this moment, he already couldnt afford to save face. He discussed with Long Haochen before that if the enemy would really be hard to handle, hed ask for the help of Long Haochens group. Together, they would handle the enemy as fast as possible before escaping. Currently, with the strength of their Demon Hunt Squad alone, handling this Demon Hunt Remover squad was impossible. Therefore, they could only request Long Haochens help. However, for the third time of the day, Tian Qing miscalcted. Long Haochens team didnt immediately join them, but another whistle sounded from the rear,ing from Long Haochen. At this moment, Tian Qings morale finally reached its bottom. Long Haochens whistle meant that they were caught in an ambush. The enemies really had premeditated all this. Withdraw! Tian Qing shouted with no hesitation, sweeping his shield forward, andunching a shield charge against the Demonic Bear. This was done using his full strength, plus the might from his shield of the Legendary Tier, and managed to repel the Demonic Bear three steps back. Want to escape? Thats toote! AhBaos cold voice resounded in the air, and his ck figure appeared in front of Tian Qing the next instant. Ever since the defeat he suffered in the Illusory Paradise, a deep hatred towards these Demon Hunt Squads festered in AhBao, choking him from deep inside. Even in his capacity as the demon crown prince, making his position majestic beyondpare, he still had lost at the hands of Long Haochen. His anger wasnt something that could be dispelled over time. After finally encountering a human Demon Hunt Squad with difficulty, how could he let Tian Qings group go so easily? AhBaos attacks were always like that: simple, effective and direct. _Bang!_ Even by relying on his Legendary Shield, as well as the defense from Divine Obstruction, Tian Qing suffered greatly from this punch. Surrounded by the golden glint released from the use of Brilliant Body, he was still forcibly pushed ten meters back by this punch, with a feeling of numbness still remaining in his left hand. The peak of the eighth step! Tian Qings expression changed greatly. In fact, his current internal spiritual energy already surpassed 20,000 units, so with the addition of Divine Obstruction and his Mythril Foundation Armor, as well as his Legendary Shield, only a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step could repel him with such an attack. AhBao charged into Tian Qing like a tornado. Launching one fist after another, he covered him with unyielding attacks. Tian Qing wasnt so easy to handle either. After determining the enemys strength, he battled for his life and tried to escape, constantly using abilities to weaken AhBao. However, he was secretly in distress. AhBaos speed was far greater than his, so withdrawing was alreadypletely impossible for him. Right at this moment, he sensed powerful auras approaching them from all sides. _I was mistaken in the end. I truly regret not listening to Haochens suggestion!_ However, Tian Qing was after all a veteran with several years of experience, and although he felt painful inside, at this time his mind was extremely focused. And this time he made the appropriate decision. We are withdrawing! Ill be staying behind to stop them, dont care about me Join Haochen to break out together. Go, now! Saying this, Tian Qing shouted indignantly while looking up to the sky. Igniting a golden me around himself, he suddenly turned around, directly abandoning his sword to hold his shield in both hands, knocking it fiercely against AhBao. AhBaos attacks were still too powerful. Those attacks that looked simple and direct actually possessed an incredible power, as if carrying the strength of heaven and earth. All his punches transcended Tian Qings whole imagination. However, Tian Qing was still a Mythril Foundation Knight, and was powerful in his own right. His many years as a Demon Hunter were the origin of his powerful strength and battle experience. At this moment, he made his whole strength burst out, not only igniting his body with holy fire, but also his me of life. He was already fighting with all his might. His goal was simple: to sacrifice himself to give hisrades the opportunity to escape. In battles against demons, many Demon Hunters had already been forced to make this kind of choice, and being a Guardian Knight as well as their captain, he knew that something like this might happen one day. Thus, he didnt have the slightest hesitation. This attack was his choice, and he naturally had to bear the consequences of it. No, Captain, Im not leaving. The king grade warrior snarled, breaking out with his pair of battle axes at full strength,unching Tornado Strike. The powerful offensive power instantly cut through two demon powerhouses, and he frantically aimed at AhBao. Captain, the team cannot lose you. Hurry up and go! A blood colored glow covered the axes, precisely from using Madness. Indeed, a warrior was still a warrior, and even without a piece of Legendary Equipment on him, AhBao still had to suddenly step back when faced with the fast spinning attack. With a loud and clear dragon cry, the air seemed to be torn and an explosion erupted, as that rotating warrior was kicked back. _Bang!_ With a violent spurt of blood, even this warrior in the state of Madness was sent flying by the power of AhBaos kick. While the blood from in his mouth spurted in an arc, his two battle axes were almost simultaneously dropped. Failure is the mother of sess. This saying applied not only to humans, but also to demons. After his battle against Long Haochen, AhBao pondered about his painful experience and trained bitterly in seclusion. Therefore, his strength increased greatly. Now, not only did his cultivation reach the peak of the eighth step, but his fighting strength as a whole, as well as hisprehension of realbat werepletely different from before. At this very moment, it could be seen that his whole body was covered with ayer of ck scales, while his blood red eyes were full of blood-thirst. Tian Qing clenched his teeth bitterly, raising his shield, and knocked once again against AhBao. His only thought was now that no matter what, he would do his utmost to save hisrades. However, no matter which Demon Hunt Squad, after fighting together for such a long time, how would one easily abandon hisrades? Tian Qing thought like this, but hisrades were the same as him! A bunch of differently colored mes ignited on the battlefield, belonging to every member of the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad. They agreed by chance to make the same decision of igniting their mes of life, with an unanimous thought: theyd rather die here together than leave theirrade here by himself. _Bang, Bang, Bang_ At every fierce strike Tian Qings body would shiver violently. However, he still relied on his own strength to forcibly block AhBao. Not only that, but he also simultaneously took care of the other demons. Chapter 402 - Foundation Mythril Armored Long Haochen (II)

Chapter 402: Foundation Mythril Armored Long Haochen (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The Ice Storm was notpletely ineffective: even if AhBao was even stronger, he wouldnt possibly be able to cover all of his allies. Although the Ice Storm had already stopped, every Demon Hunter Remover aside from him was slowed down to a great extent. Three of them even suffered wounds of different severity. Thus, although AhBao instantly turned a detrimental situation into an advantage, these Demon Hunter Removers werent able to counterattack immediately . Right at this time, a golden glint of light abruptly appeared on the battlefield, carrying an overwhelmingly brilliant aura of light. _ng!_ With an ear-piercing explosion, AhBaos body suddenly stopped in his tracks, and immediately, his blood colored eyes were erupting with violent sparkles. _Thats him!_ Spreading his four wings, Long Haochen descended promptly afterunching this blow. Yatings slender figure appeared above his shoulder, aiming a white glint urately at AhBao. Long Haochen pped his four wings and appeared at the back of the demons ranks. Erupting with Demon Wiping sh, he enveloped several surrounding demon powerhouses in its range, blocking their attacks. Meanwhile, everyone from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad arrived and regrouped with the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad in this counterattack. Haochen! Tian Qing called out. Long Haochen shouted loudly, The enemies are surrounding us on all sides. Immediately break out of their siege, we will be staying behind. I have my own ways to get away from the battlefield, so go now! The sudden addition of Long Haochens group immediately changed the present situation. The four headed Haoyue rushed forward inrge strides, and everyone in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad was prepared since long before. With the addition of these strong troops, no matter how strong AhBao was, winning would undoubtedly prove to be hard for his Demon Hunter Remover squad alone. However, as soon as Long Haochens group appeared on the battlefield, in all directions of the sky, many glinting lights approached the ce fast, and at rough nce, they numbered over fifty. Encountering Long Haochen again, AhBao currently felt his blood boiling. With a loud roar, a pair of purplish ck dragon wings appeared on his back, and after withdrawing from the battle with Tian Qing, he immediately went after Long Haochen. But Long Haochen didnt continue to tangle with AhBao. In a sh, his four wings pped again, dodging him. Big brother Tian Qing, quickly go! Otherwise it will be toote! Long Haochen shouted desperately once again. Tian Qing replied with a bitter smile, Haochen, you go. During this battle, the one inmand is me. And since I am the currentmander, you must listen to me. Quickly go with your team! Long Haochen shouted back in fury, Youre really wasting time! I said that we have the ability to flee from the battlefield. Have you forgotten how I made Caier disappear at that time? None of you will be leaving! AhBao suddenly stopped in midair, not chasing further after Long Haochen. Lifting his right hand, he emitted an orange radiance and formed an orange colored barrier covering everyone present on the battlefield, including the Demon Hunt Removers under hismand, as well as Long Haochen and Tian Qing. Long Haochen felt his surroundings freeze, and he suddenly stopped in the midst of his eleration. But it was not only him, Tian Qing and the others, along with AhBao and all the other demons were stuck inside, as if everything in this orange space turned immobile. Emitting a dense glint from his eyes, AhBao stared at Long Haochen with an ardent look, I will be paying back the shame you brought upon me. Only your blood can wash off this shame. Today, you will definitely die. Long Haochens breath was now extremely heavy. He didnt know which technique AhBao just used, but it didnt seem like an ability belonging to him. However, this was not important. This technique obviously didnt make any difference between their enemies and their own side. Perhaps this hinted that the time of confinement wouldnt be that long, but it was enough in this situation, because during this short while, the demons lying in ambush were approaching. Those were fifty Demon Hunter Removers; a total of fifty Demon Hunter Removers! This formidable force was nothing they could contend against at the present time. Even escaping would be very difficult. Long Haochen even had no assurance to be able to activate the Eternal Melody for hisrades and himself to escape. Desperate straits! Right, they were now in absolutely desperate straits. The choice of joining the battle or not had been up to Long Haochen. He could have lead his own allies to break out of the siege or use the Eternal Melody to escape. However, even if Tian Qings judgement was wrong, how could he possibly give up on his own allies on the battlefield? Thus, he showed up here with no hesitation. If Tian Qing had listened to his suggestion, and had immediately turned around to break out of the siege with hisrades, perhaps Long Haochens group would still have had the chance to leave the battlefield after separating from them. But what AhBao used seemed to be a particr ability of the Star Demons, and now it was already toote. It was now not only the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad that was in a dire situation, but also the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. The orange light disappeared gradually, and the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove still reached AhBao, but he seemed to have no more but a sarcastic look as reaction. The masses of Demon Hunter Removers were already surrounding them on all sides, and an intense darkness filled the air. Powerful undtions of spiritual energy were unleashed from the encircled Demon Hunters that all had ice-cold looks. The members from the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad temporarily paused the ignition of their life energy, all having determined look. Since they couldnt leave, they would all stay here, and kill their way out. After all, since the day they became Demon Hunters, they were resigned to the fact that their deaths would probablye from the demons hands. And this day seemed to have arrived. Stand back, all of you. AhBao suddenly shouted loudly. From his order, the dragon teams Demon Hunter Removers drew back, temporarily creating a distance between the Demon Hunters and themselves. Long Haochen and Tian Qings two Demon Hunt Squads were gathered together, taking advantage of the opportunity, but the encirclement of the other fifty Demon Hunter Removers had shrunk the distance by a lot. Sixty Demon Hunter Removers against one king grade and onemander grade Demon Hunt Squad; this was already a battle without suspense. No matter how excellent Long Haochen and Caier were, if a crowd battle started, they would only be able to curse at the final results. Of course, by relying on the activation of the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen at least had the confidence to be able to bring along two other people, but how could he abandon his otherrades? Tian Qing stood upright and unafraid at Long Haochens side. He didnt give Long Haochen any apology, as apologizing wouldnt do any good. Since the situation was already this dire, there was already no way to make up for his mistake. All he thought of doing now was to sacrifice himself to try to create an opportunity for Long Haochens group to escape. However, this was indeed quite too hard. Especially seeing so many powerful demons, particrly that ck-d young man. In the past series of exchanges, even after Tian Qing had ignited the me of his own soul, in front of his attacks, he could only retreat by defeat little by little. And furthermore, that ck-d young man seemed to have not gone all out yet. AhBao didnt give a single nce to Tian Qing, Guardian Knight and most powerful in cultivation among those two teams. His eyes only held Long Haochen and his unforgettable memories of the pain he received from that blow of Long Haochens sword, he was never able to forget. You are Long Haochen, Im not mistaken on your name right? AhBaos cold voice pierced the hearts of every Demon Hunter like a terrible gust of wind. These were a whole sixty demon powerhouses. Amongst them, the powerhouses of the eighth step numbered at least six, and they were apanied by more than fifty powerhouses of the seventh step. Even for an emperor grade Demon Hunt Squad, getting away from here would be no easy thing. I am Long Haochen. Takingrge strides forward, Long Haochen exchanged a nce with AhBao. If the current AhBao could be said to be a volcano ready to erupt at anytime, then the current Long Haochen was like a deep and quiet pool. The man and the demon were standing face to face, their gazes meeting each other in the air, and Long Haochen didnt yield in the slightest. AhBao furrowed his brows, dering, Thest time we met in the Illusory Paradise, you left me with unforgettable memories. I really didnt think that you would reappear so fast, and in this kind of situation. I wonder if you have other tricks to save yourself from an unescapable death this time as well? Long Haochen calmly asked back, How would you know without giving a try? A dense smell of gunpowder filled the air in an instant, and the powerhouses on both sides were prepared to intervene at anytime. AhBao suddenlyughed, rxing his clenched fist a bit, Very well. I have no choice but to admit that you deserve being treated as my rival. Even if your strength is patheticpared to mine, I am still willing to ept you as my enemy. You should feel honored of that. Long Haochen alsoughed at him, showing a great indifference while revealing a smile full of self-confidence on his handsome and very bright face, Unfortunately, I have never regarded you as my rival, and this wont ever happen unless one day, you seed to your fathers current position. In my eyes, there exists only one rival, and thats him. AhBaos look finally changed. In this state of absolute advantage, he was trying to humiliate Long Haochen with his words, to break his self-confidence before annihting all the the humans around, thus regaining that lost self-confidence of his. But who expected that Long Haochen not only wasnt fooled, but also counterattacked. Do you even see yourself? And you still want to challenge my father? All right, then dont say I didnt give you a chance. If you win against me, I will release all of you now. But otherwise No need for otherwises, juste at me. Long Haochen advanced withrge strides, without even summoning Haoyue to fight with him. Haoyue lifted his fourrge heads, looking at Long Haochen with an ardent look. As if he just received some instruction, he lowered his heads once again. Haochen! Tian Qing called out in worry. Long Haochen turned around and looked at him, and from his point of view, Tian Qing had a determined look. Strong remorse was filling him, as he seemed to be mumbling some words. AhBao slowly raised his hand, and all the demon forces retreated, leaving an open space before him. Chapter 403 - Mythril Foundation Armored Long Haochen (III)

Chapter 403: Mythril Foundation Armored Long Haochen (III)

Long Haochen turned around, and looked at hisrades with a very concerned expression. The expression in his eyes and on his face was very abundant, and among everyone, his eyes rested on Caier for the longest time. Step back as well, all of you. Wait a bit. Tian Qing suddenly shouted, beforeing to Long Haochens side withrge strides, vigorously stamping onto the ground with his right foot, while giving a beat to his own chest with his right hand, executing a knight salute in front of him, Honored knight Long Haochen, I request to temporarily exchange my armor with yours. Long Haochen looked slightly distracted, Big brother Tian Qing. No matter whether it was a Mythril Foundation Armor, a Pure Gold Foundation Armor or a Divine Throne, all these entities were regarded by knights as a sign of honor. In the hearts of knights, they held even more meaning than their own life. Please allow it. Tian Qing requested with determination. Thank you. Long Haochen didnt decline. He only ced his right hand on his chest and gave Tian Qing a standard knight salute. A faint golden light surrounded Tian Qings body, and the Mythril Foundation Armor, which originally fit him perfectly, made resonant tingling sounds, before a change immediately happened on the helmet. Its back turned over, and then, the whole armor started to separate itself rapidly from his body. In a sh, it returned to its original state, exposing Tian Qings body. The current Tian Qing was still stained with blood, and his face looked somewhat pale, but his eyes were filled with determination. Taking one step away from the Mythril Foundation Armor, Tian Qing didnt say anything. Stepping aside, he looked at Long Haochen with an ardent look. Long Haochen took off his own Glorious Holy Armor, unconsciously clenching his fists. Mythril Foundation Armors symbolized the legend of the human knights glory, and he was finally about to wear his first one. Even he himself didnt believe he was qualified to wear a battle armor of this kind so fast. Controlling a Mythril Foundation Armor required one to reach the seventh step of cultivation. Although Long Hoachen didnt break through to this level yet, he still reached the peak of the sixth step, and his internal spiritual energy had broken through 10,000 units two days ago. He was now on the bottleneck between the sixth and the seventh step. Relying on his own incredibly pure light elemental spiritual energy, he had confidence in being able to master this armor, and Tian Qing was simrly confident in him. Therefore, he was willing to let his own glory be worn by Long Haochen, hoping it would increase his odds of victory. Everyone knew that the odds for Long Haochen, whose strength didnt reach the seventh step yet, to prevail over a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step, were close to zero, but Long Haochen still stepped forward and epted the challenge. Being a knight, this was a question of honor, so no one could stop him. As soon as he reached out for the Mythril Foundation box, Long Haochen felt the blood in his body boil. When he really stood in front of it, a proud and hard to describe battle intent rose in him. Engulfed by silvery light, the silver box transformed first into a pair of leg guards. With silver light spreading underneath, they fastened around both of his feet. Then, the armor rose to his lower back and the thigh parts wound around his waist, enveloping him slowly. During this process, Long Haochen unconsciously straightened his posture, while silvery light surrounded his body. The same armor worn by Tian Qing and by Long Haochen had a totally different appearance. When the silver armor entirely covered Long Haochen, on his chest, a rich golden light abruptly shed, and spread to the surroundings. Merely in the time of a few breaths, the originally silver colored armor turned entirely golden, as the elegant golden magic traces on the armor glinted. Long Haochen felt like a huge ck hole, madly absorbing all the light essence in the air. His spiritual cavities seemed to harmonize perfectly with the Mythril Foundation Armor. It was a really wonderful feeling, and totally different from any of the other armors he had worn before. After being d in the Mythril Foundation Armor, Long Haochen felt as if he was wearing mere clothes, and not an entire armor. His body felt iparably agile, and he didnt seem impeded in the slightest. Just by putting this armor on, he felt as if his whole body had reached the state of Brilliant Body. This was a legend, a legend of the Knight Temple! It was thanks to the efforts and research spent by the Knight Temple for several thousands of years that they had been able to make 365 Mythril Foundation Armors, and 36 Pure Gold Foundation Armors, which helped them gain such a stable position as head of the Six Great Temples. Only by wearing it, Long Haochen felt his strength at least doubled or even tripled, and this was without taking the defense of the Mythril Foundation Armor, and its boost of agility into consideration. His whole body started to gleam golden, and Long Haochen sensed the Mythril Foundation Armor settle with an almost audible moan. At this moment, Tian Qing understood the reason why that ck-d demon youth chose Long Haochen and not him as his opponent. Slowly, he lifted the Legendary Shield in his hand, offering it to Long Haochen. But to Tian Qings surprise, Long Haochen shook his head, Brother Tian Qing, did you forget that I am also a Retribution Knight? After saying that, he grabbed the Rippling Light with his left hand, and advanced towards AhBao inrge strides. A Retribution Knight??Tian Qings look became suddenly sluggish. It was true that in a one against one battle, Retribution Knights were without a doubt a lot more powerful than Guardian Knights. And right! The first time he ran across them, Long Haochen seemed to have been using dual swords. Are you prepared?, AhBao asked when Long Haochen stopped ten meters away from him. He didnt stop Long Haochen from exchanging armors, since he wanted to defeat Long Haochen in his most powerful state, to really quench his hatred. Long Haochen looked up to him, Come. Youre a knight, what about your mount? AhBao asked in all seriousness. Long Haochen shook his head, Although you are my enemy, you still gave me the chance to have a fair decisive battle. As a knight, although my strength is far from yours, I cannot have such an unfair advantage in a duel. It would no longer be a one versus one battle between the two of us. With a smile, AhBao revealed some unconcealed admiration in his eyes, Very well, you are really worthy of being the rival I settled on. A rich ck radiance slowly rose in the air, and the scales on him gained a purple tinge. In his right hand, a purplish ck radiance appeared from nowhere, and the massive glint turned into a pir of light, spreading with an iparable pressure from his hand. All the demon powerhouses exchanged rmed looks, as if this ck radiance filled them with fear. The purplish ck radiance condensed in AhBaos hand, turning into a purplish ck heavy sword. Long Haochen of course knew what this purplish ck heavy sword was. That was AhBaos personal weapon, the weapon that he destroyed in the past. It was made out of the horn of a Devil Dragon. At the same time, AhBao raised his right hand, and Long Haochen mirrored him with his own right hand, from which a soft golden radiance condensed, slowly ascending to his right hand, glinting with an intense golden color. At first it seemed as if the golden light was far inferior to the ck radiance in power, but the instant it appeared, the light surrounding Long Haochen engulfed all darkness in a hard to describe way. When he was d in Mythril Foundation Armor, this originally only silver-colored armor produced some golden light, but when the Aria of the Goddess of Light appeared in his right hand, the Mythril Foundation Armor actually turnedpletely golden. Yating was floating above Long Haochens shoulder, only murmuring some chants, but suddenly she touched Long Haochens neck and disappeared the next instant. Immediately, the Mythril Foundation Armor flourished in golden light, produced buzzing sounds, and suddenly emitted strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. Its strength abruptly reached a terrifying level. On Long Haochens back, his two pairs of spiritual wings instantly spread. And every part of him radiated an ethereal feeling. Thats right, Yating turned into a weapon soul and fused with the Mythril Foundation Armor to give Long Haochen a massive boost. The Aria of the Goddess of Light burst into intense mes which naturally originated from the release of Holy Fire. Regarding his presence, Long Haochen was unexpectedly not the slightest bit inferior to AhBao. The auras of the two of them shed, trying to suppress each other, but to everyones surprise, none managed to get the upper hand. Long Haochen didnt only feel powerful to AhBao, but also pure. Exceptionally pure. It was because of this purity that he didnt lose against his presence. At this point, the battle started without any prior indication. Long Haochenunched the first attack. Not using any abilities, he simply moved forward as the Aria of the Goddess of Light traced a graceful curve in the air, creating a fantastic scene. To everyones eyes, it looked as though Long Haochen disappeared and all that remained was his sword. From theunch of his blow, the sky changed color, as if struck by it. And because of it, AhBao actually let out a stuffy groan and drew a few steps back. Gliding further and circling around, Long Haochen waved the Aria of the Goddess of Light horizontally once again. Long Haochens movements didnt look slow in the slightest right then, but he gave a kind of abnormal feeling of steadiness. As his opponent, AhBao had the deepest impression of this attack. Long Haochens first blow indeed pierced through the skies, but also sealed off all the possible attacking routes of AhBao. Moreover, it aimed right at the moment AhBao was in the midst of his own movement. If AhBao hadpleted his attack, Long Haochens first attack would undoubtedly havended on him first. If this had been someone else, even if this attack had been executed with a piece of Legendary Equipment, AhBao wouldnt have stayed that passive. So what was there in taking a strike? Given their terribly powerful external spiritual energy, Devil Dragons didnt fear any attack. However, Long Haochen wasnt the same: his sword seemed as traceless as a breath of wind,, yet gave off the powerful sword intent of a man being one with nature. Facing such a sword, AhBao had an intense sense of crisis, as if as long as itnded, he would undoubtedly be seriously wounded. Chapter 404 - Sword Intent, Sword Heart, Technique in the Sword (I)

Trantor: GravityTales During this battle against AhBao, Long Haochen was different from the time he was up against the Jacques Chief of the eighth step. That time, he acted as the leader of a team, who shouldered the responsibility of saving another Demon Hunt Squad. Thus, he had to inflict the most serious damage possible to the enemy in the shortest time he could. This was also the reason why he didnt hesitate to enter a weakened state by fusing with Haoyue and Yating, to reach his most powerful state andunch powerful and unyielding attacks against the enemy. But the current situation was different. First of all, AhBaos strength was iparable to the Jacques Chief, and even if Long Haochen was to fuse with Haoyue, killing him in a limited time wouldnt be feasible. Thus, Long Haochen had to rely on the antique battle techniques acquired in the Tower of Eternity, as well as the sword intent from the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Due to being a gods chosen one, and his one year of secluded training, Long Haochen got to truly fuse these two things as one, and by now, his strength was absolutely not measurable only with his amount of spiritual energy. He knew clearly that if he really wanted to have the opportunity to win against AhBao, he would need to make use of all his sword intent, sword heart and technique in the sword. At the time Long Haochens first attack wasunched; he already gave no thought to life or death, disregarding all the outside world. In his eyes and heart appeared only one target. His sword heart was brightly lit, and his sword intent became one with the environment. His body and sword moved as he wished, simply attacking the opponent, and giving off an impression of having the ability to turn things around. With the addition of the divine sword Aria of the Goddess of Light, his two sword strikes in a row actuallypelled AhBao back. However, AhBao was after all not the same as back in the Illusory Paradise either. At that time, AhBao had been greatly suppressed by the rules of the Illusory Paradise and could only use a total of ten thousand units of internal spiritual energy. Moreover, everything Long Haochen did then, had gained him the benevolence of the Illusory Paradise, and thus enabled him to suppress AhBao. But now, the one he was confronting was AhBao in his most powerful state, who had gained a lot from the painful experience, once again making him all the stronger. The second time he drew back, AhBao was alreadyunching a counterattack. His left foot stamped hard onto the ground, producing fierce exploding sounds, as waves of darkness spiritual energy gushed out. As Long Haochen attacked once again, his third lightning fast sword strike hit that purple colored pir, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light ended up being repelled by that purplish ck light. It was a heavy blow, that didnt contain any adornments. With a shout of fury, AhBao swung the heavy sword in his right hand brazenly. Under everyones attention, that purplish ck pir of light actually surrounded his heavy sword, turning into a ten meter long sword tip, which aimed straight at Long Haochen. Meanwhile, in a radius of thirty meters around them, all the air was instantly filled with a stagnating darkness spiritual energy, preventing Long Haochen from redrawing to escape, while dying his movements greatly. As the demons crown prince, AhBaos genius wasnt much inferior to Long Haochens, but at the time Long Haochenunched his first attack, he actually figured that in terms of battle technique, he was already no match for this human. However, the technical aspect wasnt a synonym for victory on the battlefield. Although AhBao was powerful, that didnt made him inflexible. Challenging the enemy in his strong areas was something he wouldnt risk doing. Long Haochen had the upper hand on sword intent, sword heart, and technical prowesses, but AhBaos advantage was even more distinct, because his spiritual energy exceeded Long Haochens by tenfold. Long Haochens steps suddenly halted, and his knees bent while unloading all the momentum of stopping his charge. He let go of the Rippling Light in his left hand, directly dropping it to the ground. Grasping the Aria of the Goddess of Light with both hands, he showed an astonishing move. Twisting his body, he straightened his posture and swung the divine sword. His senses already exceeded the level of being natural and unforced, more urately, he reached a perfect harmony between his body and his sword. Emitting a dark golden glow from the tip of his feet that spread up, the sharp point of the Aria of the Goddess of Light finally condensed, bursting out with soft light that dexterously shed against that purplish ck sword tip. No, calling that a sh was not suited; it should rather be called a contact. Meanwhile, Long Haochens body followed the movement of his sword, tracing a perfect curve of 360 degrees. More fantastically, he let AhBaos tyrannical attacks actually push him to the side, giving his formidable fighting strength no opportunity to act against him. Right at this time, Long Haochen suddenly pped the four wings on his back, looking the same as a swimming fish rushing forward, and remained close to the ground. Doing another movement upwards with his left foot, he retrieved the Rippling Light to his hand, wielding two swords again as he almost instantly came back face to face with AhBao. During the course of Long Haochens rush forward, the shattered space scattered from within, and burst out with an iparably concentrated sword intent, actually passing through the stronglypressed space. A low dragon cry instantly rang out, and dark golden mes vigorously covered him as he glided. During this time, Long Haochens imposing manner reached its peak. _Bang!_ AhBaos terrifying sword struck the ground, immersing the surroundings in a purplish ck color as the violent explosion hit. The exploding and splitting sounds it produced sounded the same as a crying demon, shaking the earth and causing terrible damage. Right at this time, Long Haochen arrived in front of AhBao, and his entire body swept at AhBao like a tornado. If someone clearly watched Long Haochens movements, they would distinctly see that the Rippling Light in his left hand pierced forward,unching a myriad of sword tips uniting instantly as one. The strike aimed at AhBaos wrist that was holding his sword. And the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand stuck close to the ground, releasing a terrible goldenser beam while carrying a sound of dragon cry as it struck against the opponent. And furthermore, thatser wasnt big in size, on the opposite, it was somewhat smaller than the de of light emitted by the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Its color waspletely dark golden, yet looked the same as a substantial thing. AhBaos appreciation of Long Haochen was already very high, but in his heart, that opponent was still no more than a human knight not even reaching the seventh step. Never did he expect his own tyrannical blow to actually be neutralized by Long Haochens indirect methods, and that he would immediately counterattack against him. The timing for Long Haochens strike was chosen extremely well, aiming right at the short dy after AhBaos full strengthunch of power. And furthermore, his sword speed was terrifying, as if not affected in the slightest by the burst of the purplish ck sword. Long Haochen was using Ascending Dragon Strike with the Aria of the Goddess of Light, but the ability wasnt aimed upwards, but forward. Along with the increase of his cultivation, his use of the usual knight abilities already reached a new boundary,pletely throwing off the restrictions of the abilities themselves. It could be said that every single ability could contain some creativeness in his hand. With a faint flicker of light, Long Haochens eyes let out sparkles, and his Foundation Mythril Armor exuded some intense dark golden color. If was as if a thick golden liquid was stuck on the surface of his armor. Facing Long Haochens dual sword attack, AhBao didnt show any sign of attacking. But hisbat experience was plentiful enough that even in such a disadvantageous situation, he actually made a proper decision, and abandoned his sword. The distance separating Long Haochen and him was already too small, and his purplish ck gigantic sword was quiterger than Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light. Therefore, right afterunching a full power attack, he basically didnt have the time to return it to his side, which turned his advantage into a handicap. He hastily let go of his sword as he leaned backwards. Instantly,, his left hand shed violently against the Rippling Light, as his right hand formed a fist that directly smashed backward, striking against the de of light released by the Aria of the Goddess of Light. With a _puff_ sound, AhBaos left hand thrust against the Rippling Light that produced slight ripples. He swept it away, but that heavy sword of the Glorious Tierbined thousand strikes into one while carrying the power of Demon Wiping sh! It left a bloody trace on AhBaos left hand. As Long Haochens self-created technique Ripples of Light was disyed inbination with the uniting of thousand sword strikes into one, even with AhBaos external spiritual energy reaching a level of a few dozens of thousand units, he couldntpletely resist against it. At the same time, a sh urred on the other side. Without any explosion, AhBaos fist shed against the Aria of the Goddess of Light, and he suddenly found out to his greatest shock that his strength somehow felt empty. In fact, during the previous altercation, Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light felt able to possibly threaten his life. Thus, his punch was already using his whole strength. Yet the instant his punch and the sword collided with each other, AhBao only felt that a part of the strength of his fist was forcibly absorbed by the magnificent dark golden sword in Long Haochens hand, and it was a very great part of it. Afterwards, Long Haochen summersaulted with the help of the momentum, and thereby absorbed the rest of the strength of that fist. As the dark golden radiance suddenly vanished, Long Haochens body was already revolving at great speed like a vortex tearing everything away. Actually, when AhBao responded to Long Haochens attack, he was already fooled to think Long Haochen was trying to face him head-on. He was lured into responding to the attacks of both swords with both of his hands. In other words, Long Haochens dual swords were aiming for a crossed attack, and after the sh, he used the momentum for a spiraling motion, not aiming at all to sh with AhBaos monstrous power. Borrowing power from his all-out efforts was enough. Condemning Revolving Sword! Or rather, this should be called an evolved Condemning Revolving Sword. Until now, Long Haochens sword intent was breaking out in all direction, spreading over the whole battlefield, surge after surge. Be it the demons or the humans, when seeing this battle, everyone looked lifeless. Even Long Haochensrades wore expressions of disbelief.

Trantor: GravityTales Right! This was really just too inconceivable, just what level did AhBaos strength reach? That was the peak of the eighth step, his internal spiritual energy reaching a terrifying level close to 100,000 units! However, since the start of this battle, Long Haochen actually suppressed AhBaopletely, not only leading him along, but also holding theplete advantage. All his attacks could be said to predict AhBaos intentionspletely. Under these circumstances, AhBao clearly suffered some losses. In midair, Long Haochen turned into a dark golden twirl, carrying an overflowing sword intent that also seemed to carry some of AhBaos burst power. The speed of his Condemning Revolving Sword was just too fast. Even if Long Xingyu, creator of the Condemning Revolving Sword technique, was here and suppressed his internal spiritual energy to the same level as Long Haochens, hed still be unable to bring out such a magnificent Condemning Revolving Sword. Long Xingyus Condemning Revolving Sword also contained sword intent, but the sword intent from Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light was one level above it. Long Haochens internal spiritual energy was indeed far below AhBaos, and the same went for his external spiritual energy, but all his attacks gave AhBao the feeling of being indomitable. Being one with nature. These words sounded very simple. But how many others were really able to aplish it? Fusing all of ones internal spiritual energy, external spiritual energy, spiritual stoves and equipment was not as simple as an addition of forces! To say nothing that one shouldnt ever forget the greatest secret of Condemning Revolving Sword residing in borrowing force. Under the increasingly strong pressure, even the demon crown prince AhBao had no choice but to draw back time after time. His only feeling was that the power from Long Haochens dual swords was growing stronger and stronger, every blow growing even more fierce. On the other hand, he lost his own weapon and didnt even have the mental strength to control that horn to return to him. Spouting blood, one could clearly see AhBao trying his utmost to resist while urging his darkness spiritual energy. Although he could resist the sword of Long Haochen itself, he was unable to entirely resist that terrible sword intent, and cuts started to appear all over his body. Each cut looked distinct and blood gushed from it. Yue Ye watched the battle attentively, feelingpletely nk. When Long Haochen stood upright and unafraid in front of AhBao, she only felt her own mind going nk. _Its over, everything is over! How could he be a match for AhBao? Brother Baos strength is not at the same suppressed state as in the Illusory Paradise!_ _They are going to die, and I will die too! For some reason, Yue Ye wasnt in a state of great terror, but had an ufortable and difficult to describe feeling._ However, after the real start of the battle, nothing went as she imagined, and the powerful AhBao actually ended up entirely suppressed by Long Haochen. The gap of spiritual energy between the two sides seemed to have disappeared, as the fighting strength Long Haochen exuded from the peak of the sixth step gave him a destructive power ordinary powerhouses of the eighth step would be unable topare with. Each strike of his only carried 10,000 units of spiritual energy, but with the amplification, from a whole set of Legendary Equipment, plus that terrible sword intent, how could that be described merely as 10,000 units of spiritual energy? In the sh between light and darkness, the purity of his light transcended the powerful darkness. Long Haochen made use of the elementary dominance without restraint, promoting the powerful dark golden radiance released from the Condemning Revolving Sword. _Ruaa!_ In this time of setback, AhBao let out a cry, facing upwards and suddenly bursting out with fluctuations of a mystical energy released from his body, Dragon Might. That was the Dragon Might of the Devil Dragons. Rapidly spiralling in the air, Long Haochen suddenly seemed in disorder, and the freely disyed Condemning Revolving Sword finally came to a sudden stop. From very far, Haoyues fourrge heads shed with purple light, and his powerful ws unconsciously stabbed the ground, but he still bore with it, notunching any attacks. Taking advantage of Long Haochens sudden pause, AhBao suddenly drew back, and immediately, a gaudy ck radiance burst forth from his body. This ck was full of gloom. But why would it exude a feeling of gloom? That was because the thoughts emitted from it were too piercing and strong. The ck radiance wasnt spread too far. It enveloped AhBaos body inside and no more. One could see clearly that this ck radiance condensed to the threatening shape of a ck Dragon, spiralling around AhBaos side. And when Long Haochens Condemning Revolving Sword chased further, it turned out that it was unable toe in contact with AhBao, and just shed against that ck barrier. Devil Dragons Undying Body, a powerful Devil Dragon ability. Standing inside the barrier of the Devil Dragons Undying Body, AhBao coldly watched the spiralling attacks of his opponentsunched towards him in the air. Producing ear-piercing sounds from the dark golden ball of light, his blood red eyes were really close to gushing blood. The current AhBao was losing purple blood all over his body, and many of his scales now had cracks on them. And all of this was done by the effects of the sword intent carried by the two swords in Long Haochens hands. Taking a deep breath, AhBao took a step back with his right foot, and his right fist was ced on his waist. His left hand was ced in front of his chest, forming a bizarre posture. Terrible power was exuded as his unyielding darkness energy instantly reaching its peak. An immense purplish ck luster appeared on his back. One could faintly see that this was a veryrge purplish ck pir looming up to the sky, with a gigantic dragon spiralling around it. Wasnt this precisely the first demon god pir, belonging to the Demon God Emperor?! The stifling feeling of space being torn apart reappeared, but this time it wasnt limited to a range of dozens square meters. It actually reached a range big enough for everyone present to sense as though it was right next to them, while trying to suck them in. The purplish ck color of AhBaos body instantly turnedpletely ck, and the same went even for his blood and eyes. And right at that time, his expression looked entirely different, iparably substantial, and containing an iparable power, as if he was the only real person in this world. Fist intent. Right, if Long Haochen could be said to be using sword intent, then the current AhBao was bursting out with the fundamental fist intent, inherent to the lineage of the Devil Dragons. His cultivation was after all far above Long Haochens, therefore, the breakout of his fist intent covered a range far above Long Haochens scope. The two Demon Hunt Squads appeared dumbstruck. AhBao didnt attack yet with that fist, but its terrifying might was already visible to such extent. But what would happen when hed really attack? Just what terrifying level would it reach?! Everyone could see that AhBao was entirely blood-soaked, but these were only scratches, without any substantial damage done. And how long would Long Haochen be able to keep up his full strength? That no one knew. Right at this time, the originally frantically rotating Long Haochen struck the barrier once again, and his body suddenly came to a standstill. Releasing the four wings on his back, he remained in midair, the four wings on his back suddenly pointing their tips forward, as the Aria of the Goddess of Light started producing slight vibrations. Right at this time, Long Haochen, floating in midair, closed his eyes, and his entire body sunk into a kind of mystical state. With a cold look, AhBao watched Long Haochen attentively. Seeing this scene, he couldnt help but tremble slightly. The reason was simple: this state of Long Haochens was precisely the one he was in at the time he broke his horn. The Rippling Light once again disappeared, this time inside the Eternal Melody. Holding the Aria of the Goddess of Light in both hands, Long Haochen looked slightly upwards as a dazzling golden color covered his body. That golden color seemed like a kind of fire, setting ame all the light in the sky. A kind of bizarre chant, close to buzzing, sounded in the air, and on Long Haochens back, all the splitting feeling of the space disappeared. A soft golden radiance arose quietly over his shoulder, and in the midst of that mystical buzzing chant, an unreal looking golden luster appeared. That very illusory-looking luster, fully colored in a faint golden color, could only be described as looking human-shaped. Around this shape, the wide area of gold actually didnt have any substance. In Long Haochens hands, the Aria of the Goddess of Light exuded a kind of fantastic gleam. The originally blunt heavy sword at that instant gained an extremely sharp point. More terrifyingly, that sharpness gave thepletely opposite feeling to his former gentleness. Humans and demons hadpletely different impressions. All the Demon Hunters felt a breath of nature from this golden color. And those members from the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad who just had ignited their mes of life, feltfortably warm, filled with an indescribablefort, as if their power of life was quietly being restored. A fantastic radiance appeared on Long Haochens face. Right then, he gave off a transcending feeling, yet had a different look from back in the Illusory Paradise. Charging forward, the Devil Dragons fist intent instantly broke out. As the demon crown prince, he could draw support from the power of the first demon god pir to some extent, showing that AhBao was already starting to seed the first demon god as his sessor. That terrifying fist intent entirelycerated the sky, rendering it endlessly ck, just like a ck hole facing Long Haochen. It was as if his body was about to be entirely swallowed. Right at this instant, Long Haochen struck in an oblique trajectory as lightly as a feather. The dark golden color on the sword now turned bright golden, but this was an exceptionally beautiful golden color, carrying all the seven colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and purple, all appearingly fused with that golden colour of his sword. From the first reddish golden to thest purplish golden shade, the variations were rapidly changing, but the feeling it gave was that of a magnificent rainbow, produced by the illumination of the sun. When the sword came in contact with AhBaos attack in the air, no instant explosion urred, but as if adhering them together, there was a short moment of stagnation. It was also right at this moment that Long Haochen opened his eyes. They appeared to be filled with a soft white radiance,pletely contrasting AhBaos pair of ck eyes. Ones eyes were filled with wildness, and the others with gentleness, and both sets produced iparable sparks upon colliding. The next instant, the sound of an explosion finally hit. Chapter 406 - Sword Intent, Sword Heart, Technique in the Sword (III)

Chapter 406: Sword Intent, Sword Heart, Technique in the Sword (III)

Trantor: GravityTales With a terrifying explosion, a brilliance of ultimate terror abruptly appeared at the point of their collision. It took the shape of a helix mixed of gold and darkness, abruptly expanding outwards. No matter whether it was the Demon Hunters or the Demon Hunter Removers, all sides immediately turned around and fled, using their most adept evasive spells. Even so, the humans and demons were knocked down like wheat when the terrifying burst hit them. AhBaos body flew like a ck arrow to the ground, and even trying his utmost to control his own body, he couldnt. All the cuts that he sustained right before gushed blood like geysirs, and his face instantly became pale. Long Haochen and him were exact opposite, and the sh with that dazzling golden figure was the origin of that massive force of impact. But they were the same regarding the dark color that surrounded them now. The Aria of the Goddess of Light turnedpletely dark, and Yatings body disappeared in a sh, returning to Long Haochens body. Because Long Haochen was entirely covered by the Mythril Foundation Armor, as opposed to AhBao, the state of his body could not be discerned, but one could clearly see that this Legendary Tier armor was covered by many cracks. It seemed as though, had the shock been just a bit more violent, this Mythril Foundation Armor would havepletely shattered. The battlefield became eerily silent, because right at this time, everyone waspletely speechless. What a terrible sh that was! The sh of a powerhouse at the peak of the sixth step and a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step actually produced such terrifying fluctuations of energy. Even if Long Haochen would lose this battle, this was enough to be proud. Moreover, judging how the situation before their eyes changed, Long Haochen wouldnt necessarily lose. The first to get up from the ground was a ck figure, her hair colored in a deep purple. She disappeared in the sky like a specter as everyone else was still in shock from that terrible sh of power. Because of that terrible collision, at that time, no one paid attention to her existence or to her movements. AhBao finally regained control over his body, and that purplish ck heavy sword reappeared in his hand. With both his hands grabbing the sword hilt, he stuck the de into the ground, revealing a very deep expression. Long Haochens body was also slowly descending from the sky, and the Mythril Foundation Armor on him regained the original bright silver brilliance it had, before Long Haochens spiritual energy had turned it golden. Both sides stared at their counterpart, none yielding to the other. I didnt expect you to actually be able to borrow godly power. Do you really want to face my challenge? AhBaos voice was cold and stagnant, not showing any trace of him being wounded. Long Haochen gave a tranquil response, Dont tell me youre not borrowing power from the first demon god pir? Now that theynded, both parties were at a close distance from each other, and the Demon Hunters and Demon Hunter Removers also got up one after another, staring at the two of them filled with lingering fears. The Demon Hunter removers were oppressed, while the Demon Hunters gathered together. The close quarter vocations and the mages vocations from both sides were ready to join the battle at anytime. AhBao dered in deep voice, I have no choice but to admit that you are the most worthy person I met in this lifetime to be called my rival. As a human, of younger age than me and with inferior cultivation, still resisting my strength and reducing me to this condition, you already deserve my respect. If we had equal spiritual energy, I believe that I wouldnt be your match, even if I were to use my true Devil Dragon form. Long Haochen had alreadynded on the ground, and when he stepped forward, his body actually stumbled with a sensation of lost control. He also had to hurry to use the godly sword to help steady himself. Only Long Haochensrades knew how terrible his present condition was. Thats because at the same time Long Haochen and AhBao collided, the Soul Linking Chains activated their Life Sharing. At this moment, all the members from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad apart from Caier, who was in a state of invisibility, were pale, bleeding from their facial orifices, which showed how seriously they were hurt from the Life Sharing. As one might imagine, AhBaos fist intent was just too terrifying. Just like AhBao said, being a gods chosen one, Long Haochen borrowed force from the Goddess of Light for hisst attack. Otherwise, he couldnt possibly have resisted AhBaos fist intent. Even with an even stronger sword intent, without sufficient spiritual energy he couldnt pull out sufficient might. Given a set of Legendary Equipment and the fusion with Yating, Long Haochen actually reached a level of cultivation close to the eighth step in practice, but a world of difference existed between the spiritual energy of both sides, to say nothing that AhBao was a Devil Dragon, with a level of external spiritual energy amounting to dozens of thousands. It looked like AhBaos injuries were serious, but actually, Long Haochens injuries were even more serious than AhBaos. If not for the Soul Linking Chains that connected him with hisrades, Long Haochens body would have probably been ripped apart from that sh just before, even with the protection of his Mythril Foundation Armor. What a pity! AhBao suddenly shook his head lightly. Long Haochen showed an indifferent smile, You are about to break your promise, arent you? AhBao replied with a cold smile, Break my promise? No. Our battle has no fixed victor, even if we are temporarily in a draw. How could I be considered breaking my promise? If I were a mere demon, I would be feeling deeply honored of having such a rival as you to motivate me, and would definitely defeat you with my own strength at all costs. I would then step on you, making you the stepping stone for me to ascend to the peak. Unfortunately, I am not an ordinary demon, but the crown prince of the demons, son of the Demon God Emperor and future sessor to the position of Demon God Emperor. I cannot let you keep growing: the future of a gods chosen one is unpredictable. I have to admit that I dont have absolute confidence to defeat you in the future. Thus, for the sake of all demons, I can only kill you while I can. Long Haochen also smiled at him, You are quite reasonable. If I am given three more years, you will absolutely be no match for me. I have never believed that you would keep your promise either. It looks as if our final battle will have to wait for the next time we meet. I hope for you that at that time, your luck will be as good as now, and that you will be in the same kind of advantageous situation as now. This time, the smile on AhBaos face didnt carry the same coldness, What? Dont tell me you really think you can escape alive from me today! Long Haochen gave him the indifferent reply, Why would that be impossible? Actually, Im already at my limits. I concede that my condition is worse than yours. However, like your subordinates that are surrounding us, did you forget that I also haverades? AhBaos look changed, suddenly alert of his surroundings, but he didnt sense any threatening existence. But right at this time, a ck figure appeared in the midst of the Demon Hunter Removers. That ck delicate and slender figure went unnoticed by all Demon Hunter Removers at its time of appearance. A massive pair of ck wings appeared, instantly erupting with terrible killing intent. The Demon Hunter Removers were all powerhouses of the seventh step or above, but right at this time, all of them were filled with absolute terror. A substantial killing intent attacked them, and all of them could clearly sense danger upon themselves. Saturated with ultimate terror, and an absolute pressure, the air turned ice-cold. Immediately, a ck radiance shed brazenly from the sky, looking very frail, yet intimidating. Four demons at the seventh step immediately became still, all breath of life instantly sucked out of them. The ck figure finally appeared entirely, revealing a pitch-ck dagger issuing a grey radiance, aimed lightly at Yue Yes neck. A small white hand held Yue Yes slim neck from behind, directing a look full of hatred at AhBao. All of this happened just too fast. Yue Ye only felt her own blood turning ice-cold. Her body couldnt even manage to tremble, and the energy from the Dagger of Samsara inside of her body seemed to be pulsing under the effect of that killing intent, ready to possibly break out at anytime. No one expected this situation that happened so suddenly, everything just went too fast. Caiers act of seizing Yue Ye, from beginning to end, took less than the time of one breath of air. AhBaos originally cold face instantly looked severe. Among all the Demon Hunter Removers here, the only one he cared about was Yue Ye. This was his fiancee! The other Demon Hunter Removers also knew of this. If not for this status, being at the sixth step of cultivation, Yue Ye would basically not be qualified to be a Demon Hunter Remover. It was precisely by AhBaos persuasion to the Demon God Emperor that Yue Ye was allowed to enter AhBaos dragon team. No one moves, or else, I cant guarantee that the dagger in Caiers hand wont slip. Long Haochen coldly dered. AhBao narrowly shattered his teeth from grinding them together, Bastard! Threatening to kill a girl, is that the spirit of you human knights? Long Haochen gave him an indifferent smile, Just like you chose to be pragmatic instead ofplying with your promise as the demons crown prince, from my point of view my act is unrted to the spirit of knights. AhBao replied coldly, Dont tell me you believe that you seizing an ally of mine to threaten me would make me yield? Long Haochen shook his head, Of course that would be impossible if this was an ordinary ally. But if Im not mistaken, His Majesty crown prince AhBao has a fiance, and thats the daughter of the second Moon Demon God Agares, called Yue Ye. Am I mistaken? From hearing Long Haochens words, AhBao finally had a different look. His pupils seemed to have dted. Concealing the truth was not of any use, and the two of them looked at each other face to face, as none of the other Demon Hunter Removers dared to move a finger. For Yue Yes sake, AhBaomitted great vitions to the will of the Demon God Emperor, and this was known to all demons of high ss. It was only recently that he finally got the approval of the Demon God Emperor, and furthermore, even if this was left out of consideration, Yue Ye was the most beloved daughter of the Moon Demon God Agares. If she died at the hands of these Demon Hunters, terrible repercussions were bound to fall upon the demons. Chapter 407 - Untimely Awakening

Chapter 407: Untimely Awakening

Trantor: GravityTales What do you want? AhBao was clearly seething with rage as he asked. In a situation of absolute superiority, his enemy actually managed to take his fiancee as hostage. This utter disgrace was actually not inferior to the time Long Haochen smashed his horn to pieces. A destroyed horn could still be recovered by relying on the powerful vital power of a Devil Dragon. But if something happened to Yue Ye, how could he justify himself to the Moon Demon God Agares? And to his own father? More importantly, if Yue Ye were to die, Agares would undoubtedly dramatically change his attitude towards him, and this would perhaps even affect his future position after bing the next Demon God Emperor. Before he left Modu Core City, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu had a personal talk with him, telling him clearly that even if he was his first sessor, his father had already found a second sessor, with potential not much inferior to him. Thus, if he made any mistakes, his ns for ascension would be affected. For AhBao, power and position were naturally the most important things, but his love towards Yue Ye was really sincere. In his heart, Yue Ye was equally important as his power and position as sessor of the Demon God Emperor. From this could be seen how deep his feelings for Yue Ye were. Long Haochen replied with a heavy tone, You should already know what I want. An ominous glint appeared in AhBaos eyes. He was angry enough to be close to spitting blood. It could be said that in his previous battle with Long Haochen, both sides ended up injured, but because of his armor, AhBao couldnt see Long Haochens true condition. But he waspletely sure that Long Haochens injuries were absolutely not lighter than his. If this went on, by relying on his own secret powers, he had the certainty to be able to kill Long Haochen. However, up until now, Long Haochen had always shown a fighting strength far exceeding his own power, so AhBao had no certainty to be able to kill Long Haochen without avoiding heavy damage to himself. What he feared the most was to be unable to recover from the consequences, because Long Haochens light attribute was far too pure. If light of such purity invaded his body deeply, he would find it very difficult to dispel it. For a Demon, its crystal was its core, and even to a powerful existence like a Devil Dragon, if its core was affected, their future cultivation and training would be greatly affected, and AhBao absolutely couldnt ept to take this risk. His goal was to one day be an existence as powerful as his father, or even to surpass his father. How could he take the risk of damaging his core in an all out battle against Long Haochen. The reason why Long Haochens ability made him that cautious was, just like he said before, his threat as a gods chosen one. Countless years had already passed since a human of this kind appeared, and Long Haochen was actually able to draw strength from the divine power of the goddess of light. And he was still so young! If he was allowed to grow up, no one would be able to predict the massive threat that he would pose to the demon race. But AhBao was the sessor of the Demon God Emperor! If he didnt have confidence in defeating Long Haochen, there was nothing to be said for other demons. Letting such a human be a powerhouse of the ninth step would naturally be far too terrifying, at least no other existing human powerhouse of the ninth step could possiblypare to the terrifying existence he would be. This would undoubtedly bring the humans a very heavy advantage, for he could be an existence even more threatening and troublesome to the Demon God Emperor than the current Demon God yers. Thus, even if AhBao himself was extremely unwilling to kill Long Haochen with such methods, for the sake of the demons future and for his own future, he needed to do it. Although he was a self-centered person, he was still able to see the greater picture. Bing a sessor to the Demon God Emperor wasnt something that could only be aplished with power. But who knew that something like this would happen? He was now confronted with a difficult choice: to let go of a future threat or to lose his most beloved girl and gain the hostility of the Moon Demon God. Whats to be done? AhBao knew that the time he was given was short, because in case of excessive hesitation, even if he still ended up saving Yue Ye, shed still resent him in the future. One could clearly see the wrinkles on AhBaos forehead continuously rise and fall, revealing the level of his gloom and loathe. Okay, I am letting you go. Release Yue Ye. AhBao almost bellowed these words. Long Haochen finally rxed and turned his head to look at Caier and give her an eye signal. However, the next instant made Long Haochen turn into a block of ice, because the instant he looked over at Caier, she appeared to be filled with killing intent and indifferent to his signal. Abruptly, he noticed that he didnt get any response from Caier. Caier was still in the same posture as before, and the Dagger of Samsara in her hand was pushed against Yue Yes neck. Furthermore, because she was grabbing Yue Ye that tightly, it seemed as if Yue Ye and Caier formed one entity. _No good!_ Having gone through a simr experience, Long Haochen instantly cried out in shock, suddenly realizing what this was. Forcefully constraining his own shock and panic, Long Haochen gritted his teeth and endured it. Then he suppressed the weak state of his own body, and calmed himself down, dering indifferently, You already vited your promise with me once. How can I believe you this time? Letting go of your fiance now is clearly impossible. Saying that, Long Haochen acted as if he didnt see AhBaos re, and slowly advanced towards Caier and princess Yue Ye. His steps were slow, and he even needed to use the Aria of the Goddess of Light as a walking stick to support his own body. But in the faces of those Demon Hunter Removers, some great fear suddenly appeared. This battle between Long Haochen and AhBao naturally didnt only shock AhBao, but left these Demon Hunter Removers with a deep impression. In their eyes, the level of Long Haochens spiritual energy was nothing much, yet they had deep lingering fears for his terrible fighting strength and technical prowesses that injured a Devil Dragon in such a terrible battle. A great number of the Demon Hunt Removers rushed forth rapidly, encircling Caier and Yue Ye, and giving Long Haochen no way to approach. Halting his steps, he looked again at AhBao, It seems that you dont have the slightest sincerity. Caier, kill her. Dont! AhBao abruptly stepped forward shouting swiftly, Out of the way, let him pass by! The Demon Hunter Removers stepped aside to form a path, but this time, Long Haochen didnt rush to advance contrarily to the expectations. With a faint smile, he dered, Looks like His Majesty crown prince AhBao really values his fiance. Tell your other underlings to make way and let myrades go before all. Caier and I will stay here, and we will then give Yue Ye to you after they leave safely. This time, the best choice was obviously for Long Haochen and Caier to seize Yue Ye and let theirrades leave first. Given how AhBao attached importance to Yue Ye, he could only ept this. However, currently Long Haochen had no way to bring Caier with him! Only he knew how terrible his bodys condition really was. Even an ordinary Demon Hunter Remover would immediately make him fall to the ground upon merely touching him. How was he able to appear so rxed and face a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step like AhBao head on? Starting from the first contact between the two of them, when Long Haochen relied on sword intent to deviate AhBaos attack, he was already wounded. And in their final sh, he sustained serious damage bringing him close to death. Currently, it was entirely by relying on his willpower that he could stand straight, but he himself didnt even know for how long he would be able to keep this up. Hearing Long Haochens words, AhBao was slightly shaken, but being a firm person, and since he already made his decision, he didnt hesitate much more. He abruptly waved his hand, hinting everyone to open up a path to let the two Demon Hunt Squads go. Tian Qing stood here, looking stunned. He didnt expect hisrades and himself to leave this ce alive. The battle between these two admittedly shocked all the Demon Hunter Removers, but how couldnt it shock the Demon Hunters as well? Tian Qing faintly sensed that if they fought all out against each other, he wouldnt be a match for Long Haochen, even as a Mythril Foundation Knight. Meanwhile, Long Haochens performance also made Tian Qing faintly realize his very special value for the Knight Temple. Given his age, his cultivation, and his strength, how could he be an ordinary knight? Right now, Tian Qing made the resolve that no matter what, he had to protect Long Haochen and bring him out of this ce. Given Long Haochens cultivation and strength at this age, he was far too important to the Knight Temple. The situation before their eyes instantaneously took a great turn from their original position of absolute disadvantage. When seeing Caier appear, and actually kill four demon powerhouses of the seventh step in one blow, he became totally numb from the sight. Seeing an assassin of the sixth step instantly kill four powerhouses of the seventh step, it was really no wonder that she also managed to instantly ughter the Star Demon of the eighth step. From this one could totally imagine that this young female assassins strength was no lower than Long Haochens, and that she only kept herself concealed behind Long Haochens glory. Captain Tian Qing, quickly go. Han Yu came to Tian Qings side and said this in a low voice. But what about Haochen and her? Tian Qing replied. Han Yus voice became very cold suddenly, If Captain Tian Qing really wants to help our team, leaving now is the best choice. After saying this, he immediately turned around and called out to hisrades, passing through the passage left by the Demon Hunter Removers. Looking nk, Tian Qing obviously noticed the dissatisfaction in Han Yus words, and immediately felt terribly ashamed. Giving a nce to Long Haochen who was advancing towards Caier and Yue Ye, he fiercely waved his hand, shouting, We are going. The two Demon Hunt Squads, which without Long Haochen and Caier consisted of eleven people, gradually disappeared from the line of sight of the Demon Hunter Removers. None of the Demon Hunter Removers dared go against the orders of AhBao, but their strong unwillingness was portrayed in their eyes. Right! If they wiped out two Demon Hunt Squads of such power, they would undoubtedly gain great rewards! And furthermore, they had six Demon Hunter Remover squads, giving them an absolute advantage. Right at the same time theirrades left, Long Haochen reached Caiers side, but just from covering this distance of less than a hundred meters alone, the Foundation Mythril Armor he wore was already drenched in sweat. Caier was still motionless, and Yue Yes face was deathly pale. The only thing she could now move was her eyes, which had lost all light as she stared fixedly at Long Haochen who was arriving in front of her. Aftermunicating through some nces with her, he turned around to stand by Caiers side. Without touching Caier, but simply approaching, Long Haochen sensed even more clearly that the situation was like he guessed just before. At this crucial juncture, Caier was actually awakening; she was having her awakening as a gods chosen one. With thest blow using the Dagger of Samsara, Caier reached the edge of awakening. It was just that right now, they had to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, thus Long Haochen wanted to use the Eternal Melody to teleport Caier to the Tower of Eternity. But if this interrupted the process of Caiers burst of insight, and affected her only slightly, this would cause a suppression of Caiers awakening. So even if Caier was on the right track, she still had yet toplete her extraordinary awakening. An awakening as a gods chosen one wasnt aplished by sheer effort alone. Therefore, even if in the future, Caier kept herself in closed door training, attempting to aplish the awakening, she wouldnt necessarily seed, and maybeck thisst missing trigger forever. Long Haochens judgement was right; as the sessor of the Dagger of Samsara, Caiers awakening as a gods chosen implied her bing a true Grim Reaper, and thus only the battlefield was a fit ce for her to awaken. Originally, Caiers awakening wasnt supposed to happen so fast, but the encirclement of the six Demon Hunter Remover squads and the situation of crisis triggered Caiers fighting spirit to instantly rise to the peak, and with her final use of the Dagger of Samsara, she reached the border of her awakening, which was out of her control. After that strike took out four Demon Hunter Removers of the seventh step, and she managed to seize Yue Yu, she was already in the state of awakening, and lost all consciousness, letting out very special undtions of aura. The timing of Long Haochens awakening was already very inconvenient, but the timing for Caier was obviously even more untimely. They were surrounded by enemies, and Long Haochen was seriously wounded. _I cant teleport Caier!_ Having already gone through the process of awakening before, Long Haochen was very clear that teleporting her now would very possibly cause unforeseeable consequences. Moreover, Caiers awakening as a gods chosen one was different from his. The Goddess of Light he seeded was a powerful ult force who fostered fairness, honesty, and gentleness. But Caiers physique of Samsara was incredibly more tyrannical, and in case it caused bacsh, Caiers life would very possibly be threatened. Long Haochen had never faced such a dangerous situation. Given his current weak state, even activating the Eternal Melody to teleport them would be very hard, but what would happen if Caier was teleported in her state of awakening as a gods chosen one? _Whats to be done? What should I do?_ Under AhBaos watch, Long Haochen straightened his posture, secretly pondering on this. Your men already left, now you should release Yue Ye. Right this time, AhBaos voice sounded out, and this time all the Demon Hunter Removers present encircled them, surrounding Long Haochen and Caier. Chapter 408 - Awakening as a God’s Chosen one, Reaper’s Sickle (I)

Chapter 408: Awakening as a Gods Chosen one, Reapers Sickle (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Your side has already left. Now release Yue Ye! AhBao was standing less than ten meters away from Long Haochen coldly, ring at Caier and him. After considering for a short time, Long Haochen came to a decision. Looking at Caier who still stood like a sculpture, a peculiar warmth filled his eyes. Standing next to him, Yue Ye saw this the most clearly. She was out of words when seeing Long Haochens expression. Those warm eyes were filled with determination, with an endless reluctance, and an indescribable firmness. Right at this time, Long Haochens lips pursed slightly, and he whispered some words in Yue Yes ear. Because of the previous ughter, Caier entered an enlightened state. In this state, she could wound you very easily. She cannot be touched, or your life will be in danger, so I will teleport you to a certain ce. Remember that you cannot move in this ce, and have to stand still and wait. Afterwards, you can just pray that Caier and I survive. Saying this, Long Hoachen slowly lifted his hand, cing it on Yue Yes shoulder. What are you doing? AhBao shouted in fury. Not giving him the slightest nce, Long Haochen released a faint golden light from his chest, and with a glint of golden light, Yue Ye disappeared the next instant. Seeing Yue Ye disappear, those Demon Hunter Removers rushed forward but were stopped with a shout of AhBao. His ice-cold look seemed to pierce Long Haochens body like a sharp de. Where did you send Yue Ye? From teleporting Yue Ye, Long Haochen immediately became very weak. Shaking, he almost fell to the ground. But right at this time, AhBao also noticed that something was wrong, because even after Yue Ye disappeared, Caier, who seized her before, still didnt move in the slightest. With some difficulty, Long Haochen turned around and faced AhBao, I think you can understand it now. Because of her previous attack, myrade suffered some aftereffects and is currently unable to move. So you missed your best opportunity to kill us. I advise you not to act blindly without thinking. You should realize that Princess Yue Ye was sent away via a spatial teleportation. I sent her to another space, one that except for me, no one can ess. Thus, if I die, you wont see your fiance ever again. Making such a decision was undoubtedly extremely challenging for Long Haochen. Caier suddenly entering the state of awakening as a gods chosen one had effectively rendered his original n of escape void, and all he could do now was to let hisrades escape in advance. But he couldnt leave himself. If he was gone, what would be of Caier? Everyone could depart, but the only exception was him. He had to remain close to Caier to protect her. Without regard for his own life, he would remain at her side. Before the start of the decisive battle between AhBao and him, Long Haochen used his eyes to ask Caier about what to do. During theirst meeting with Yue Ye, when they alleviated the restriction ced on her, Yue Ye had told them about her engagement with AhBao, and before the decisive battle, Long Haochen had told Caier to contact Yue Ye. At the peak of Long Haochens battle with AhBao, Caier used the restriction ced on Yue Yes body tomunicate with her from afar, and Yue Ye gave her a simple reply: to seize her. In the instant after thest sh between Long Haochen and AhBao, Caier, after entering her invisible state, had two choices at her disposition, which were either to ambush AhBao or to seize Yue Ye. In the end, Caier went for the safer choice. After all, thest time when they attacked AhBao, he used some unstoppable means to escape. If this were repeated, they would undoubtedly get wiped out by the remaining Demon Hunter Removers. Therefore, seizing Yue Ye was the most dependable option. The reason why Long Haochen teleported Yue Ye away, was simply to guarantee her safety. With Caier in her state of awakening, whoever were to irritate her, Yue Ye would perhaps get killed due to the unstable killing intent emitted by Caier. And if Caierpleted her awakening, Long Haochen didnt know what would happen either. In either case, Yue Yes life would also be put at risk. After cooperating several times, Long Haochen had gained some trust in Yue Ye. The help she gave him was indeed not negligible, and he obviously couldnt blindly watch her die. Thus, he chose to teleport Yue Ye away to the Tower of Eternity. After their time spent training on the second floor of the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen was capable of deciding the destination of any teleportation with the Eternal Melody. Without hesitation, he sent Yue Ye to the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. Wait here with me. After the bacsh of myrade receeded, I will naturally give Princess Yue Ye back to you. Of course, this is if we can leave peacefully from here. Currently, he was in a really weak state. AhBaos terrifying fist intent caused havoc in his body, and his weakened spiritual cavities were nearly destroyed by that fist intent, so he could already not keep fighting. AhBao looked full of rage. He clearly didnt expect this result. Seeing Yue Ye get teleported away by Long Haochen was like having a part of his heart taken away. He indeed didnt dare move rashly. He couldnt gamble Yue Yes life. Even while being surrounded by so many powerhouses all around, Long Haochen actually closed his eyes, took off his helmet, and put some pills in his mouth. These were Healing Pills made by Lin Xin. AhBao valued Yue Ye, to the extent of allowing them to get away, but the danger wasnt ovee yet. Long Haochen understood clearly that during the time of Caiers awakening, they would confront a great trial. He didnt know whether they would leave this ce alive; but no matter what, he wouldnt leave Caier and escape by himself. Who expected the situation to turn out this way? The Demon Hunter Removers all looked at AhBao. As long as AhBao gave the order, they would immediatelyunch an all out attack. AhBao clenched his trembling fist; this was an extremely rare good opportunity! If they missed this one, perhaps, they wouldnt ever get to force Long Haochen into such desperate straits ever again. One day, I will destroy you. AhBaos voice was full of rancor, but in the end he didnt give the order to attack. Just like Long Haochen, he sat down and closed his eyes to recover. No matter whether it was the Demon Hunter Removers or Long Haochen, neither of them knew that at a distance of a thousand meters away from them, a pair of eyes was watching them silently. They belonged to a person covered entirely in a grey battle cloak and were quietly watching them. His expression was changing constantly, as if he could hear everything that was happening there. This person was empty-handed, and didnt carry any weapon on him. When Long Haochen was peacefully sitting and recovering, he couldnt help but show some astonishment and admiration, a great pain, and many otherplex feelings. Slightly stepping forward, the grey d man didnt let out any trace of sound, but he came to a standstill in the next instant. Not advancing further, his feet came to a halt and he narrowed his eyes, emitting a sh of killing intent. It produced concentrated _chi chi_ sounds in a range of three meters around him, and an immeasurable coldness was carried in his aura. This coldness seemed to be intertwining with his condensed killing intent. For the overwhelming majority of people, entering a state of cultivation needed an absolutely calm environment. If a single disturbance urred, this state would very possibly be disrupted, which could result in danger for the concerned person. To say nothing about such a pressuring environment of being surrounded by enemies all around. However, Long Haochen sat there cross legged, just like that, entering that state under the attentive watch of all the demon powerhouses. The great self-recovery function of the Mythril Foundation Armor and the boost provided by it to its user could be seen clearly at this time. All those cracks on the armor were gradually repaired, and a faint golden color was exuded. It was as if with each of Long Haochens breaths, the golden light in his body gained in intensity. One trace of ck gas after another was ejected from his body, all stemming from AhBaos fist intent that forced its way into his body. AhBaos condition was simr to his, the only difference being that what he was driving out was the sword intent left by Long Haochen. Although Long Haochens external spiritual energy was nowhere as great as AhBaos, his internal spiritual energy was a lot more pure, and thus, his speed of recovery was not the slightest bit slower than AhBaos. Moreover, he also had the pills made by Lin Xin. Nheless, his wounds were a lot more severe. Before, he just bore them with sheer willpower, but all the parts of his body were wounded to different extents, his energy channels were in chaos, and his spiritual energy close to used up. Even the core of his spiritual cavities sustained damage. Such heavy damage was absolutely not something one could recover from in a little time. Without the surrounding danger, after sustaining such serious damage, Long Haochen would have gone into an unconscious state since long before. But how could he now keep himself from falling unconscious? That was simply due to the powerful willpower supporting his body. But under its support, Long Haochen found out to his astonishment that on his lower abdomen and at the ce between his eyebrows appeared a new bizarre golden glint. As he was absorbing the external light essence to replenish his body, these two little glints seemed to expand with every breath he took. Although their expansion was slow, it was still distinct given Long Haochens formidable mental force. What was that? Spiritual cavities at their initial state? In the past few days, Long Haochens internal spiritual energy finally crossed 10,000 units. All his umted spiritual energy erupted in the previous battle, but the more important cause for this change was his astonishing willpower. If at that time, hed let himself fall unconscious, this breakthrough would have been dyed by a lot. But through forcibly standing straight, and going into cultivation even when surrounded by the demon powerhouses, his potential was aroused which directly helped forming spiritual cavities at their initial stage. And furthermore, these two spiritual cavities were both immediately set up. Chapter 409 - Awakening as a God’s Chosen one, Reaper’s Sickle (II)

Chapter 409: Awakening as a Gods Chosen one, Reapers Sickle (II)

Trantor: GravityTales In other words, as long as Long Haochen was given sufficient time for cultivation, he would finally reach the seventh step, and his future cultivation speed will then be a lot faster than the powerhouses at the seventh step who only opened two spiritual cavities. The many Demon Hunter Removers standing nearby were all staring with their eyes wide open, but they didnt dare act on their own. Without receiving AhBaos order, they didnt dare move rashly, and moreover, they still felt some fear due to the great disy of power from Long Haochen and Caier. If this was in the Temple Alliance and the situation was reversed, perhaps the powerhouses from the Temple Alliance wouldnt be able to refrain themselves from killing AhBao, even at the cost of a severe punishment, because of the importance of getting rid of a possibly powerful enemy of the Alliance. But demons certainly were different. They ced high importance to benefit and strength. In their mind, there didnt exist any target of dedicated focus, only absolute thirst for benefits. What good would it do them to kill Long Haochen and Caier? The result would be no more than their sure death, because the fury of the demon crown prince wasnt something one could bear that easily. This would even possibly implicate their n. Thus, all they could do was wait. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Long Haochen finally forced all the fist intent out of his body, and although his body was still weak, the fist intent finally stopped wreaking havoc in him. What followed was only a process of recovery. And furthermore, he found out that his own judgement wasnt wrong; throughout these two hours, the spiritual cavities in the space between his eyebrows and his abdomen already absorbed a certain amount of spiritual energy, and although it was little, they were gradually taking shape. After spending more time cultivating, and after the spiritual cavity on his chest filled, the stockpile from the spiritual energy gained from cultivating would go to these two new sets of spiritual cavities. In case these two spiritual cavitiesplete their incubation, his future cultivation, offense, defense, and storage of spiritual energy will be three times higher than now. Thats the precedence of the seventh step over the sixth step, to say nothing that at the seventh step, one can make full use of the powerful amplification ability known as Brilliant Body. AhBaos body emitted some purplish ck light, and his injuries healed faster than Long Haochens. Simrly, he appeared pleasantly surprised that although he didnt truly start breaking through the bottleneck between the eighth step and the ninth step, as long as he was given some time, he felt confident that after a short period of time, he would be a powerhouse of the ninth step. Being a sessor to the lineage of the Demon God Emperor, he was different from ordinary Devil Dragons. After his birth, he had a very weak strength, the same as humans, and his present strength was acquired through continuous cultivation. Because of his immense talent that far exceeded his nsmen, he could possibly be a supreme powerhouse like the Demon God Emperor. To ordinary Devil Dragons, after breaking through to the ninth step, the growth of their strength will reduce enormously, and unless they encounter very fortuitous circumstances, gaining a huge boost in strength will be very hard. _Some good news atst._ The gloom filling AhBaos heart finally lightened. As long as he breaks through to the ninth step, his position as sessor should be settled, and he would then be able to start borrowing the true might of the first demon god pir. At that time, his strength would increase exponentially, to an extent big enough to crush Long Haochen. AhBao couldnt help butment secretly. If he could always have a rival such as Long Haochen to stir him on, his future growth would perhaps truly surpass his father. But as the ruler of the demon race, when given the opportunity, he still had to immediately kill Long Haochen, to eliminate a future threat. When AhBao started to reach the bottleneck to the ninth step, AhBao suddenly sensed a great change. Perceiving a substantial danger to himself, he immediately concluded his cultivation and suddenly opened his eyes. Long Haochen did the same. When the eyes of the two opened, a pair of blood-colored and a pair of golden eyes lit up. They exchanged a nce before turning their gazes to Caier. As expected, a change appeared on Caier. Her posture was the same as before. However, her body emitted a dusky luster, and her white skin turned crystal grey, while she stood there like a sculpture. Still, Long Haochen and AhBaos expression changed, because they noticed with astonishment that her crystal grey body exuded some physical killing intent. Right, her killing intent actually turned material. How How is that possible? AhBao asked, dumbstruck. Right at this time, an overflowing killing intent burst out abruptly, taking the shape of a gigantic de. With ear-piercing tearing sounds, a small rift appeared in midair, and this rift erged and gained altitude at an astounding speed. This was killing intent tearing up the space! The massive force and terrifying killing intent caused the Demon Hunter Removers to instantly draw back, and even those Demon Hunter Removers at the eighth step were no exception. From that small rift, a shining grey light abruptly dropped down, floating above Caiers head in the shape of grey ripples. On her forehead, a grey sickle gradually took form, and meanwhile, in the midst of the radiating grey, a ck dagger emerged floating behind her back. A purple lightning was abruptly shot from the rift, urately aiming at the dagger. Immediately, Caiers body shivered violently, and the ck dagger suddenly turned grey, while the intense grey radiance was absorbed by it. The dagger expanded and curved, turning into a massive grey sickle filled with deathly stillness. This sickle was really too huge. Its handle alone exceeded three meters in length, and its one third of a meter wide de also was more than two meters long. Therge grey crystals forming the de radiated a soft light, looking like rippling waves, and arge amount of ck luster filled the surroundings. As one might imagine, if such a lethal weapon was swung on a battlefield, the results would be a terrible bloodshed. Awakening? AhBao finally realized the truth. What aftereffects? This was evidently an excuse made by Long Haochen. This powerful female partner was actually having an awakening, and that was the awakening of a gods chosen one! Right at this time, AhBao revealed his firmness as the demon crown prince, for whom the safety of all the demons took priority. Suppressing his own heartache, he shouted in fury, Kill them! As a single gods chosen one, Long Haochen was already a future mortal enemy, but in case another gods chosen one was to appear by his side as arade, in the future they would very possibly be an existence able to overturn the demon rule. What was his own heartachepared to the life or death of his race? With these thoughts, AhBao immediately gave the order of kill. As AhBao gave this order, Long Haochen would naturally not sit still and await his death. After he recovered for two hours, his reserves were only replenished to one third, but he had been preparing for this situation all along. It was just that he didnt expect Caiers awakening to ur that fast, and now to actually end a lot faster than his own back then. This was actually quite normal. The process of Caiers awakening went more smoothly than for Long Haochen because of her rtion to the Dagger of Samsara. It could be said that Caiers physique as Saint Daughter of Samsara had been strongly influenced by the Dagger of Samsara, which brought her the inheritance of the god of death. Long Haochen wasnt the same, his physique as gods chosen one was a result of his own efforts, and his entire process of awakening relied on his ownprehension. Although the Dagger of Samsara was tyrannical, its aftereffects were also very great. During Caiers awakening, it acted as a bridge, and under these circumstances, her awakening naturally went a lot faster. After the short time of a little more than two hours, herprehension wasplete, and the inheritance of the god of death was bestowed upon her. Two radiances rushed out of Long Haochens chest: one red and one blue, swiftly flying to the battlefield. These two massive figures brazenly blocked AhBaos way, and a terrible aura of ice was suddenly released from that blue figure, abruptly forming a tough Resisting Ice Ring. And that Resisting Ice Ring wasnt singleyered! Itbined three oveppingyers, the second one outside the first, and the third one outside the second. The three concentric Resisting Ice Rings were united as one, producing a very powerful colliding force. All of this happened very suddenly. The fastest ones to react were AhBao and Long Haochen, but the two of them were still seriously injured. AhBaos injuries were lighter than Long Haochens and his recovery also a little better, but only half of his strength was recovered. At this time, the toughness of the Resisting Ice Ring abruptly emerged. Immediately trapping AhBao inside, it forcibly repelled all the surrounding demon powerhouses several meters. Right at this time, an intense purple glint burst forth from Long Haochens forehead, and a massive figure appeared brazenly in front of him. That huge creature was over ten meters long. Raising all its four heads, the eight eyes on them were filled with purple light, radiating nobility. Two of their purple gazes simultaneouslynded on Long Haochen and Caier, while the other twonded on the red and the blue figures. Immediately, a terrible scene urred, and a massively twisted extraordinarily tyrannical energy was exuded from this massive figure, covering a radius of a hundred meters. Screams came out from the mouths of every demon, including even the crown prince AhBao. It came from the pain of sensing their bodies being ripped apart, as the magical power in them was going inplete insurrection, with the elemental essences surrounding them fluctuating madly. The demons of the eighth step were still better off, but only by hastening their spiritual energy to protect them could they save themselves. Those demons of the seventh step were somewhat weaker, and had their fleshcerated. Although they werent directly killed by the warping entanglement of Essence of Disorder, they still sustained massive damage. Chapter 410 - Awakening as a God’s Chosen one, Reaper’s Sickle (III) 410 Awakening as a Gods Chosen one, Reapers Sickle (III) Haoyue entered the scene! Long Haochens good little brother andpanion finally appeared on the battlefield. Why did Long Haochen not have Haoyue help him out when facing AhBao before? The reason was to let Haoyue gather power and prepare. Perhaps his fusion with Haoyue would have injured AhBao further, but Long Haochen knew very clearly that he would still be unable to kill AhBao. Since things were like this, why not keep Haoyues strength hidden as reserve? By taking all circumstances into consideration, one could say that as long as Haoyue was still present, he would have a method to ensure his safe escape from the battlefield. Essence of Disorder once again appeared on the battlefield, but it wasnt the same as before. The current Haoyue wasnt merely three-headed anymore, but became a four-headed beast with the addition of Little Blue. Therefore, the tri-elemental Essence of Disorder now became quadro-elemental. But this change wasnt as simple as the addition of one head! The increase in power made the powerful multi-elemental chaos a spell of the seventh step. Haoyue had prepared his magic long before, waiting only for Long Haochen to summon him to his side. Thus, the instant he appeared, he directly attacked with his spell. Because the Demon Hunter Removers were very close, the instant this spell deployed, all the Demon Hunter Removers were affected. If Long Haochen had enough people with him right now, this would be a great opportunity to wipe out arge amount of enemies. Unfortunately, Long Haochen could now only rely on himself. Giving a concerned look to Caier, he saw that Caier was still in thest stages of her awakening, and that intense grey radiance was fusing bit by bit with her. As the massive grey scythe behind her formed, she grasped it with her right hand. Caiers purple hair gradually gained a crystal-like grey coloration, gaining a sparkle, which seemed very strange. Long Haochens reserves were already back to one third, which was sufficient for him to activate the Eternal Melody and teleport away with Caier, but Caiers awakening was not finished yet. If he chose this time to teleport Caier as well, who knew what the consequences would be. Even if it was just a tiny wound, he wasnt willing for it to appear on Caier. Thus, after Haoyue released the Essence of Disorder, Long Haochen didnt carry out his original n to immediately teleport himself and Caier, but clenched his dual swords and stayed at Caiers side to protect her. Haoyue didnt immediately enter a weak state afterwards like thest time. Raising his four heads upwards, he suddenly turned around and swept his strong long tail around. Under the stifling influence of Essence of Disorder, even those demon powerhouses of the eighth step were in a very weak state, and when swept at by Haoyues bulky tail, seven or eight demons were instantly sent flying. How would the Twelfth and the Eleventh Holy Guard let such a good chance slip? The red figure was already rushing forward, and with a flicker of crimson, its immense bone de was waved freely. Two demons under the influence of Essence of Disorder were cut in half, and the blue figure waved its staff to summon four fist-sized crystals that faced all cardinal directions. Upon reaching the demons, they violently exploded and blew arge amount of demons away. The Twelfth and the Eleventh Holy Guard were nourished in Long Haochens Eternal Melody, so their cultivation increased along with Long Haochens. The Eleventh Holy Guard was originally an ice mage of the seventh step, but the Twelfth Holy Guard broke through to the seventh step along with Long Haochen. Therefore, both had a strength that reached the seventh step right when they appeared. They werent equipped with formidable equipment, but had their battle skills from ancient times. The two great Holy Guards rushed out simultaneously, immediately repelling the demons under the state of Essence of Disorder. However, Long Haochens group was after all surrounded by six Demon Hunter Remover squads. Including AhBao, a total of six powerhouses of the eighth step were there. With the possession of their higher step, the effects they sustained from Essence of Disorder were rtively smaller. After a short time of turning fric, these six powerhouses of the eighth step finally showed the initiative to counterattack. AhBao was blocked by the Eleventh Holy Guard. The fire bone de danced freely, and searched for a gap in AhBaos defense. However, the Eleventh Holy Guard wasnt Long Haochen, and although he had a great technique, and could use Asura Strike to its limits, he still didnt have the powerful sword intent or the light elemental spiritual energy of the former. AhBao didnt even avoid the attack of the Eleventh Holy Guard, and let his bone de strike against his body, counterattacking with his terrible punch. Although the Eleventh Holy Guard evaded this attack, he had no way to prevent AhBao from charging towards Long Haochen. _Bang!_ Two demons powerhouses of the eighth step sent the Eleventh Holy Guard flying with their cooperation. Even having an even greater dexterity would have been futile in front of the absolute suppression of the difference in spiritual energy. Right at this moment, only Haoyue was left to shield Long Haochen and Caier. Haoyue didnt keep using magic aside from sustaining Essence of Disorder to weaken all the demons, thus could only use his brute force. But for the first time, Haoyuepletely revealed the current level of his physical strength. The first one he faced was AhBao, raising his upper body to aim a w at him. With a roar, AhBaos body flickered, revealing his True Devil Dragon Form, rudely aiming straight at Haoyues attack. With a violent sh, Haoyues massive body shook, and under AhBaos bombardment, he was pushed aside. But even under the use of the True Devil Dragon Form, AhBao still staggered from that w attack. Not only that, but Haoyue also had the time to sweep his massive tail, and knock his fourrge heads in four directions, forcibly stopping the attacks of four powerhouses of the eighth step. Although they were weakened by Essence of Disorder, these were still demon powerhouses of the eighth step! Yet confronting the robust Haoyue, they were actually unable topletely break through his defense. However, Haoyue was still unable to defend all sides at the same time, and from one side, a demon powerhouse of the eighth step arrived in front of Long Haochen. The Aria of the Goddess of Light weed the red sword of the Fiend of the eighth step. With an ear-piercing buzzing sound, Long Haochen was shaken but didnt draw back in the slightest, and his dense sword intent left a deep trace on the chest of his enemy. The Eleventh and the Twelfth Holy Guard were already back at Long Haochens side, protecting his two nks while disying their fighting strength to the fullest. However, also right at this time, Haoyues Essence of Disorder started to lose effect and the powerhouses of the seventh step started to recover from Essence of Disorder, alsounching their attacks from all sides. Crossing his two swords, Long Haochen was under the effects of the Bursting Spiritual Pill and the Bloodthirsty Pill he took just before. He went as far as possible to muster every bit of his strength. However, he was in the end still a person and not a god, and when besieged by so many demon powerhouses, Haoyue, Long Haochen, and the two Holy Guards all started to show some injuries. However, Long Haochen was still unwilling to give up. He clearly knew that as long as hested for some more time, Caiers awakening would bepleted. Until this time came, he couldnt bring Caier back through teleportation. _Bang, bang, bang_ Haoyue and AhBao were battling with their full strength, and AhBao actually didnt hold much advantage. Haoyues fourrge heads were like four huge battering rams that attacked the enemies unceasingly. And the bulge on one of his heads emitted a faint red and seemed to be breaking out at anytime. The battle was growing desperate, and Long Haochen was using his full strength to exert Asura Strike inbination with the sword intent from the Aria of the Goddess of Light, which finally sent that Fiend of the eighth step flying. But a demon of the seventh step took advantage of the situation to attack right then, aiming a ck de at his waist. A fiery figure brazenly appeared at Long Haochens side, forcibly using its body to block that de. Its rib was instantly crashed, but this Twelfth Holy Guard still straightened its posture and valiantly used his shattered bones to forcibly stop the opponents long de. Striking him with red glint, he forcibly sent that demon of the seventh step flying. A simr situation appeared in the other side. The spells of the Eleventh Holy Guard finally crumbled in front of so many powerful enemies, and he used his own body to block a purplish ck round projectile aimed at Long Haochen. One of its arms was ripped from its shoulder as it exploded. The injuries on Haoyues body were even more serious as he was facing five demons of the eighth step by himself! His total strength was however only at the seventh step and no more. Even with greater physical power, he was in the end only at the seventh step. One cut after another appeared on his body as his mournful cries sounded out, but these injuries were healing at an astonishing speed under the shocked gaze of the demons. Haoyues attacks were still as frantic as before, the only difference being that his eyes gradually darkened and the purple light on his body became more and more intense. _Bang-_ The red Twelfth Holy Guard was finally turned into fragments by the attacks of that Fiend of the eighth step. Turning into a red glow of light, he flew back into Long Haochens Eternal Melody, and the Eleventh Holy Guard on the other side could onlyst one second longer. The blue figure was also smashed to pieces, simrly returning to the Eternal Melody. As long as their master didnt die, given sufficient time, they would recover. Having lost his two protectors, Long Haochen had to face the encirclement of the demon powerhouses directly. Currently, he was already physically and emotionally exhausted. However, behind him, Caier was still absorbing thest bits of grey luster from the air, and didnt yetplete her awakening. Clenching his teeth fiercely, golden light was released from Long Haochens eyes as a decisive power burst out from his body. An intense dark golden me ignited. Just like Tian Qing did when pushed into a corner, the current him was igniting his own me of life. After all, being a gods chosen one, the ignition of Long Haochens me of life produced far greater results than Tian Qings. The illusion of the goddess of light that appeared before came to view once again, and with his dual swords carrying a profound sword intent, he forcibly chopped past two demon powerhouses of the seventh step. His two swords harmoniously executed Asura Strikes, bursting against the red sword blow of a demon of the eighth step, forcing him five steps away. Chapter 411 - The Body as a Shield (I)

Chapter 411: The Body as a Shield (I)

A ck spear quietly struck from the vast sky, but it was not aiming at Long Haochen but at Caier, who was in thest moments of her awakening. Desperately spreading his golden spiritual wings to meet that spear with full force, Long Haochen forcibly deflected it, but the golden spiritual wings also couldnt bear this heavy burden. They shattered under the impact and were ripped apart, bearingrge holes. Crack!?Arge de violently struck the shoulder of the Mythril Foundation Armor, leaving a deep indention. A violent breaking sound came from Long Haochens shoulder, and his whole left side went numb. Bang!?Lifting up his knee, he parried another huge cone aimed at Caiers lower abdomen. The Mythril Foundation Armor was in the end not omnipotent, and one could watch Long Haochens left leg being twisted backwards. It was visibly fractured. But even then, his eyes still had the same look. Resolutely rushing to the side, he used his right hand that was still able to move to grab Caier. Long Haochen slung his arm around her waist and used his broad back to stop the purple ball of light aimed at her. In the midst of a terrible explosion, Long Haochen unexpectedly didnt let Caier sustain any damage, but he couldnt help but spit a mouthful of blood staining the helmet of his Mythril Foundation Armor. He only could do this because, every time he met an attack, his chest bubbled forth with a golden light protecting him. Otherwise, he would already have been torn to shreds by these demons. Roaa! A shout of extreme anger, proud, unwilling and full of rancor, abruptly resonated all around, and a massive purple glint of light abruptly shot out from Haoyue. Be it AhBao or all the other present demons, all were monstrously dispersed by that purple radiance. AhBaos expression was finally filled with distinct shock, Argh, die! His voice was trembling for the first time. With a loud bellow, Haoyue finally turned all his heads to look at Long Haochen. Looking at him, Long Haochen finally activated that golden skull on his chest, producing an intense golden light enveloping Caier, Haoyue and him. Right then, thest grey radiance finally fused into Caiers body, and Caiers right hand firmly grasped that massive grey scythe. With a golden sh of light the two humans and the beast instantly disappeared, only leaving behind the purple glint in the sky as the Eternal Melody teleported them to the Tower of Eternity. Escaped? They actually escaped?! AhBao bellowed searching the sky, but his eyes were filled with fear. Right, that was fear. This fear wasnt brought to him by Long Haochen, but that final purple radiance. Besieged by six teams of Demon Hunter Removers, the two Demon Hunter Squads finally escaped without a single casualty. Not only that, they managed to seize Yue Ye in the process, and took the life of eight Demon Hunter Removers. This battle could be said to be a crushing defeat for AhBao. All of you stay here to deal with the aftermath! AhBao let out a low cry, pped the pair of wings on his back, and soared to the sky. Not even giving himself the time to recover from his injuries, he directly rushed back in the direction of Modu Core City. Tower of Eternity. Yue Ye stood there, with a nk look on her face. Since Long Haochen teleported her to this ce, she was in this state of fear. A strong deathly breath filled the air. It wasnt the same reek of death as from the darkness element, but an iparable deathly stillness, emanating a feeling of imminent death. She clearly remembered Long Haochens instructions, and thus didnt dare move in the slightest ever since arriving. She only stood there,pletely stiff. Fortunately, the ice-cold murderous intent from Caier that almost froze her blood disappeared gradually in this ce. Can Can they make it back alive??Yue ye didnt know how she should be feeling at this time. For her sake, AhBao was willing to give the two Demon Hunt Squads the chance to escape, so staying unmoved by that was impossible for her. However, she was all the more unwilling to see Long Haochen and Caier die, and that was not only because of the restriction ced on her. Time passed very, very slowly, and Yue Ye sunk into a nk state here. Finally, after some time passed, a golden glint suddenly pierced the dimness, and immediately, a huge beast and two figures appeared in front of her. Long Haochen fell to the ground right after appearing, and Caier was still in that straightened posture. Haoyues four heads dropped to the ground right after appearing, and hey down, his eyes closing. His body still emitted a faint purple glow. Right before falling deep asleep, Little Light raised his head with difficulty, casting a golden radiance on Long Haochen, providing healing for his body. Back, they all came back! Yue Ye immediately felt overjoyed at this great news, but she became quickly stupefied at the sight of Long Haochens desperate state. His left shoulder waspletely broken, with his arm dangling limp and lifeless. His right leg was bent in the wrong direction, and the Mythril Foundation Armor had a massive hemisphere-shaped indentation on its back. The bones on his back were all shattered to pieces, and his state looked critical. From the current Long Haochen, she actually didnt feel the slightest breath of life. He Why did he sustain such severe injuries? Since he could teleport here, how did that happen? Staring lifelessly at the unconscious Long Haochen, she waspletely unsure of what she should do. After a long time, she came back to her senses, feeling ashamed, and rushed to Long Haochens side with haste. Crouching down beside him, she carefully examined his condition. From the Mythril Foundation Armor covering Long Haochens entire body, blood was constantly seeping out. The Mythril Foundation Armor had a very detailed design, with every part of it blending well with the others. Looking for a long time, Yue Ye finally found an opening below his armpit, and carefully opened the armor bit after bit. With a glint of silver light, the Mythril Foundation Armor separated itself from Long Haochens body and returned to the shape of a silver box, exuding soft undtions of light, while it regenerated itself. When Yue Ye saw the state of Long Haochen below his armor, she couldnt help but feel a cold shiver run down her spine. The current Long Haochen was in a deste conditions. Deep wounds covered his whole left shoulder. The flesh was totallycerated, and even his bones were visible. His body waspletely covered in blood, and his left leg strangely bent. His whole back was pierced with blood continuously leaking out from his mouth and nose. His handsome face was deathly pale. Even a formidable priest would be helpless when encountering such serious damage. The most severe injuries were his crushed bones, and his continuous loss of blood from the countless wounds. Yue Ye very cautiously examined Long Haochens breath and heartbeat. His breath seemed imperceptible, and his heartbeat very weak. On his chest, the ne with the golden skull radiated a soft light, as if protecting his heart. It preserved his life, but after sustaining serious damage, Yue Ye didnt know how he could get healed. In particr, regarding the damage on his bones, if something turned out badly, it could end with lifelong deformities. Caier still stood on his side, preserving her initial posture, but the murderous spirit emitted from her showed unstable fluctuations and her body was also trembling lightly. During thest moment of her awakening, although she already absorbed all of the inheritance bestowed upon her, she was in the end forcefully teleported to another space without havingpleted her harmonization, thus her spiritual energy was in chaos. Whats to be done? Whats to be done?! Yue Ye anxiously looked at Long Haochen, as agitated as a cat. Being of the darkness element, she didnt dare try to help by healing Long Haochen, since this would only have the opposite effect. During the battle against AhBao, it looked as if Long Haochen wasnt losing but in truth, he was no match for AhBao. The gap in spiritual energy between the two of them was too wide, and moreover, with AhBao being the sessor of the Devil Dragon n. At the start of that battle, Long Haochen had stealthily taken the newly created Spiritual Ignition Pill made by Lin Xin, stirring ones potential to an extreme extent. This Spiritual Ignition Pills didnt produce an amplification as great as the Spiritual Bursting Pills, but their duration was very long, and their amplifying effect was incredible. But it had even stronger side-effects. By squeezing out excessive potential, it could very possibly cause permanent wounds. So that hisrades would be able to leave from there alive, Long Haochen was already doing his utmost starting from back then. Although he sessfully broke through to the seventh step, the excessive overdraft made him enter an extremely dangerous state. In thest moments, to defend Caier, and give her have as much time as possible for her awakening, Long Haochen didnt spare any cost to act as Caiers shield. Otherwise, if she couldntpletely absorb the power from her inheritance, her life would very possibly have been in immediate danger. Although the current Long Haochen was nearing death, his face portrayed a calm smile. All those years ago, he told his father that he wanted to be a Guardian Knight because he wanted to protect the people he cared for. And today he managed to aplish that. For his beloved Caier, he nearly sacrificed his own life. If not for Haoyues pleading and his look filled with despair,bined with Long Haochens consideration of his safety, he would probably have endured it even longer. A gods chosen one was still a person, and would therefore also die when inflicted with mortal wounds. Long Haochen had the protection of the Eternal Melody, the Mythril Foundation Armor, and could share some of the damage dealt to him with hisrades, but his vitality was still rapidly decreasing. The serious internal and external wounds were stripping him off his life energy, and as the ignition of his soul was gradually receding, even his powerful soul was in danger to dissolve. Right as Yue Ye didnt know what she should do, and wanted to help by at least bandaging some of Long Haochens wounds, a grudgeful voice suddenly resounded, I really didnt want toe to such a nasty and deathly ce. What have you been doing to end up in this state? Under Yue Yes shocked eyes, a faint green radiance bubbled forth from Long Haochens stomach. And this green radiance was filled with the breath of life. As the green light was bundling up, a green colored gate was gradually formed, from which a slim and fair little bare foot appeared, stepping out from that bright gate. Chapter 412 - Using his Body as a Shield (II)

Chapter 412: Using his Body as a Shield (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Surrounded by green ripples of light, a fair little foot touched the ground, and a little girl, beautiful as a piece of jade, appeared from the gate. Her light blue hair wasbed into two pigtails swaying on the two sides of her head, and her tender little face looked very child-like. Even while she was wrinkling her brows, she looked really cute. You? Yue Ye cried out in rm. She obviously recognized this girl as one of those who inflicted great damage to the group of the demon gods sessors in the Illusory Paradise. Afterwards, she had realized that this little girl was not only AhBaos target, but most of all the target of the Demon God Emperor, though AhBao didnt tell her about the greatest secret involving her. Ye Xiaolei pinched her own nose, Annoying darkness smell, stay far away from me! Although you are his ally, I still dont like you. Saying that, she didnt pay any more attention to Yue Ye and crouched near Long Haochen. Seeing Long Haochen in such state, Ye Xiaolei couldnt help but wrinkle her brows even further, Although the good points of the Scion of Light are distinct in him, his bad ones are also obvious. To turn yourself into such state for no much reason, and have mee to this loathsome ce, youre really really annoying! Although she was saying this, both her hands already started moving. Her dexterous hands lightly touched Long Haochens chest, and a soft green radiance immediately scattered from her hands. In the time of a few breaths, Long Haochens entire body was filled with the light green color of this aura of life. Ye Xiaoleis delicate hands moved lightly and rhythmically, and after pondering for a short while, she prudently turned Long Haochens body,ying him on his stomach. When her hands examined Long Haochens ruined back, her face immediately had a concentrated look. With a dense green light spreading out, the rich and powerful aura of life clearly felt ipatible with the deathly aura inside. But that powerful deathly aura present in the Tower of Eternity clearly dispersed to some extent Ye Xiaolei was kneeling on the ground, and currently, her plump butt was stuck up as her back traced an arc, her hands slowly making a lifting motion. Immediately, one could clearly see Long Haochens originally devastated back regain swelling, and a dense green light kept rushing forth into his body. The whole process was very slow, but extremely effective, and Long Haochens back gradually regained its original shape. Ye Xiaolei once again lifted both her hands and her fingertips undted, threads going from one part of Long Haochens body to another, and vaguely, the sounds of contact between all bones in Long Haochens body rang out. Every time a finger was pushed against Long Haochens body, he shook slightly. Her movements looked increasingly like someone using a green thread to make a cloth. With green glints, her movements were observed by Yue Ye who had a dazzled and stunned look. After close to a quarter of an hour, Ye Xiaoleis movements gradually slowed down, and finally her hands fell onto Long Haochens back. It looked as if she was rubbing his back for a moment, before she turned his body around, now lying on the back. Yue Ye carefully watched Long Haochens condition all along, and after going through Ye Xiaoleis healing, Long Haochens chest finally started to show movement. His life would fortunately not be affected by that ident. That made her secretly loosen her breath. As Long Haochen was being brought back to life by Ye Xiaolei, Yue Ye also started thinking over all this. For Long Haochen to have sustained such wounds, the only possibility was that AhBao acted against him. But with her in Long Haochens hands, how could AhBao have the certainty of being able to save her then? Being extremely intelligent, Yue Ye seemed to have realized something, and a great pain and agony followed in her heart. She seemed unwilling to keep thinking over this, but the answer was already clear in her heart. Ye Xiaolei continued her healing, and after handling the close to fatal injury on Long Haochens back, she operated on his shoulder next. This time, because it was an external injury, Yue Ye could clearly see Ye Xiaoleis hands move rhythmically, letting out a green trace aftering in contact with Long Haochens broken bones, muscles, and energy channels. Just like the creation of an art piece, his bones were put back together, and the same went for his muscles and channels. The soft green light produced the best stickiness, and after only a short time, all the wounds were healed to their state from before. Not even a single scar could be seen. After his shoulder came his leg. And after Long Haochens right leg was healed, Ye Xiaolei followed with a massage of his entire body. From beginning to end, the most distinct feeling Yue Ye had was that an intense energy of life kept entering Long Haochens body, arousing histent potential while replenishing his consumed vital energy. Although Yue Ye didnt haveprehension of human priests, she waspletely certain that even the best human priest couldnt possibly have healed Long Haochens injuries in such a short time. And furthermore, it looked that no seque was going to remain. This healing force originated directly from the vital power of the great nature, making it gopletely against logic. Just what happened in the Illusory Paradise? How could she tear up the space to get to Long Haochens side? Right as Yue Ye was secretly rmed, Ye Xiaolei lifted up her right hand, pointing a finger between Long Haochens eyebrows, Hey, you should wake up now. Im really tired. A light groan was let out from Long Haochens mouth, and after his body shook slightly, his eyes both slowly opened. Coming back to his senses, Long Haochen felt that his entire body was filled with warmth, yet he couldnt use the slightest bit of strength. With a tired look, she faced him, and her little chubby hand waved in front of his eyes, Hey, what an idiot you are. You just wasted a whole half day of energy from me. Its lucky that one doesnt get infected from anothers idiocy. Its you? How did youe here? Did you just save me? Long Haochen nkly looked at Ye Xiaolei, gradually regaining his senses, and struggling to sit up, but not the slightest bit of strength was left in him. Of course, I was the one who saved you. Who else than me could heal you to such a good state? Hey, stop speaking, your injuries were too heavy. You need to lie down for twelve hours if you dont want seque left on you. Youre really dumb to all limits, to prefer facing death rather than immediately return to this annoying ce. Yet, I really find your idiot side quite cute. And Caier? Long Haochen impatiently asked. Ye Xiaolei revealed a dumbfounded face, And youre not immediately thanking the benefactor who saved your life. Are you really dumb? Thank you, and Caier As if admitting defeat against him Ye Xiaolei stepped aside and pointed backwards, Shes right there, no worry. Long Haochen followed the direction of her finger, indeed finding out Caier standing here. But right at this time, Caiers body showed slight movements and her dull look regained spirit. Caier! Long Haochen called out lightly. Ye Xiaolei naturally also noticed the change on Caier, Oh, shes awake too. Caiers stiff body gradually loosened, but her eyes looked once again at a loss. Seeing Long Haochen lying down to the ground, before seeing Ye Xiaolei and Yue Ye, she suddenly abruptly released a cold aura all around. Be careful! Ye Xiaolei cried out, abruptly throwing herself at Long Haochen, holding him and immediately rolling along with his body. The next instant, with a sh of grey light, with a slight pop sound, her gigantic sickle cut the ground like tofu. Ye Xiaolei was really delicate, and the sight of her holding Long Haochen was really funny. Nheless, at the current time no one wasughing. Stop, are you crazy? With a wave of her hand, Ye Xiaolei created a dark green colored barrier in front of Caier, pushing her body several meters backwards. However, Caiers terrible massive sickle only flickered, before that dark green protective screen disappeared, split into pieces. The cold voice sounded filled with killing intent, Who are you all? Caiers sudden act also gave Yu Ye a great fright. Swiftly running to the side, Ye Xiaolei shouted in anger, So youre really mad, to the point of not even recognizing him? Caier nked out, looking at Long Haochen, before lightly, shaking her head, Of course I dont recognize him. Just who Who am I? She looked at a loss, but fortunately the murderous spirit emanating from her weakened greatly. Ye Xiaolei shouted in anger, Hes your man! After he paid that much for your sake, nearly losing his life, dont tell me you dont even recognize him? Do you even have a heart? Caiers face scrunched. Lowering her head to look at herself and at the massive sickle in her hand, she then put her sights on the three before her eyes, But, I really dont know who I am. Youre trying to deceive me arent you? Those deceiving me have to die! Saying that, she raised up once again the sickle at her hand. Caier? Caier? Whats up with you? Long Haochen called out in rm. His face was full of anxiety, and when Caier looked at him, the sickle in her hand, finally stopping. I I seem to really know you. You shouldnt be a bad person. Caiers cold voice appeared immediately somewhat softer, and from beginning to end, she watched Long Haochens two eyes, as if trying to say something, but very rapidly, she buried her two hands into her face, letting out a cry of pain. The massive sickle in her hands disappeared right then. Caier, how are you? Long Haochen absolutely didnt expect this change to happen after Caiers awakening. She actually didnt recognize him, and seemed even to have forgotten about her own self. Ye Xiaolei also had a nk look, murmuring then, Stop ying the amnesic one. Just whats wrong with you? After no less than a quarter of an hour, Caier finally recovered her calm. When she looked back at Long Haochen, she had yet another rmed heartache. Who Who am I? And who are you? Why Why is it that I think of nothing? Chapter 413 - Using his Body as a Shield (III)

Chapter 413: Using his Body as a Shield (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Ye Xiaoleis mouth twitched at the corners, Look at this! He suffered so much for your sake, and yet you actually forgot about him? Saying this, she raised her hand and revealed a deep green screen in front of Caier. Its disy was a bit distorted in the middle, but it revealed traces of light and shadow. The bright screen grew till it reached a meter in size, and in its middle appeared a clear scene. The image portrayed Long Haochen and Caier, and the scene of the demons besieging their group was disyed. In the image, each of Long Haochens movements was concise and exact, and he showed no hesitation to use his own body to block the hits aimed at Caier, time and time again. Even from only looking at this depiction, one could clearly feel Long Hoachens body being broken while he suffered a mad loss of vital energy . However, Caier who was protected by him didnt have the slightest wound on her, and even when besieged by that many demon powerhouses, the only one who ended up wounded was Long Haochen himself. The scene changed fast, but this short record was enough to fill anyone with shock. Caiers look was still nk, but didnt have the same coldness and rm as before, as she murmured to herself, That Is that me? Is that really me? Who Who am I? Another person was in even bigger shock than her, and that was Yue Ye. Seeing the desperate scene in the image, she finally understood why this young knight ended up with such a mass of injuries. He only suffered them to protect Caier! He not only protected her life, but also defended her mystical burst of insight, and didnt even mind igniting his own life to do so. If not for Ye Xiaoleis prompt arrival, if he didnt die from this, hed definitely suffered seque, or perhaps even remained maimed for his whole life. For a man to go that far for a girl, there was already no need to prove anything else. Conversely, in the image, she also saw AhBao, but he was attacking with all his might, attempting to kill both Long Haochen and Caier. Yue Ye was deeply pondering. At the time he attacked Long Haochens group, just what was AhBao thinking? Her face looked pale, and the grievance turned her insides ice-cold. When she shot a nce at Caier, she couldnt help but show some sincere envy, or perhaps even some jealousy. _If I had gotten to know him earlier, no matter what, I would have grabbed his heart at any cost. But now_ But she only revealed a regretful look, and did no more. She actually didnt have any courage to fight for him now. After the disy faded away, Caier still stood here, repeating the same words as before, looking more and more frantic. Long Haochen was unable to move, otherwise he wouldnt have spared any cost to hold her in his arms, and console her terrified heart, even if she had that massive sickle as a part of her. With a wave of her hand, Ye Xiaolei spoke, Hey, you understand now, dont you? Hes your man! If you dont want of him, Im sure many other girls will be fighting over him. But Caier didnt even pay the slightest attention to her, only standing there with a nk look, mumbling those same words to herself. Xiaolei, whats going on with Caier? Long Haochen hastily asked. Ye Xiaolei turned around to look at him, revealing a bitter smile, I dont know either. During ones awakening as a gods chosen one, that person is sure to have an awakening of his or her spirit. Although the energy from her awakening was already all absorbed, a problem must have urred in the process of her spirit awakening. This should have affected her brain and probably caused a temporary loss of memories. Then do you have some way to help her? Long Haochen kept asking hastily. Ye Xiaolei shrugged her shoulders, Im not a god, and even a god isnt omnipotent! The human brain has a veryplicated structure, and everyone has an entirely unique spirit. I can heal injuries on ones body, but since her spirit and brain were affected, which rte to her soul, even a necromancer would have no way to heal her. Unless you kill her, and take away her soul. Perhaps that kind of necromancer would do something like that. Long Haochen asked in rm, Then Then Caier wont ever recover? Ye Xiaolei replied, Of course not. Among the known spells, none can wipe a humans memories, it is unlike taking ones soul and life. Thats how deeply ones memories are rooted in the brain. Therefore, her memories didnt really disappear. Its just that along with the change of her spiritual energy, they became blocked by something like a screen, during her awakening as a chosen one of the god of death. Thats just like when you encounter a bottleneck during your cultivation. As long as she breaks through this screen, her memories will naturally return. Usually, the bottlenecks of your human cultivation require continuous understanding and cultivation to break through them, but this kind of screen will need you to treat her well, and try to summon her memories, to possibly break. Its just that her condition looks quite critical. Dont be overly impatient, you need her to ept you by her side first of all. Okay, Ill give you a little more help. Perhaps putting her to sleep for a little while will do some good. Saying that, Ye Xiaolei slightly opened her mouth in Caiers direction, exhaling a dark green fog that drifted towards Caier. Caiers terrified look gradually became tranquil, as if that dark green fog was very pleasant. Lightly breathing it in, her expression became hazy, and soon, she fell softly to the ground, already sound asleep. Thank you, Xiaolei. I will forever keep this favor in my heart. You really are a lifesaver. Long Haochen dered with resolution. He was the most clear on how critical his own injuries had been, and that Ye Xiaolei definitely needed to spend a good quantity of mental and physical effort to heal him. He wasnt an expert at praising others, but would deeply engrave this kind of favor in his heart. It wasnt the only time Ye Xiaolei helped them, and he clearly remembered the promise he made to her in the Illusory Paradise. Ye Xiaolei unhappily replied, No need for thanks. This was for the deal between the two of us. However, be careful in the future. If you get fatally wounded, even I will be helpless. I have to leave now, the aura of death here is really too annoying. Still, I have no choice but to admit that this necromancer ought to have been a terrible existence during his life. Dont forget our promise! Long Haochen nodded to her, I promise that I will do it no matter what. Anyway, I still have to thank you. He already stopped seeing Ye Xiaolei as a mere little girl long ago. This youngdy from the Illusory Paradise was not only intelligent, but also had a knowledge that adults would envy. Ye Xiaolei suddenly had some thoughts, and said resolutely, Your strength is growing very fast, Im very satisfied. However, you have to keep something in mind. Although this necromancer is of the light element, which is extremely rarely seen in this field, his inheritance is absolutely not suited to you. Thats because his power contains a massive rancor, which isnt something you can bear. In case you seed in inheriting his legacy, you will very possibly be affected by this rancor, and soon after be like him. This is something you are unable to change. For this reason, you can keep training in the tower of this necromancer, but never cross thest step, no matter what. In other words, never try to get enter thest floor of this tower. In puzzlement, Long Haochen asked, Cant this rancor be dispelled? Ye Xiaolei shook her head, At least you cannot. Being of the same element as him. In case you inherit his power, even the goddess of light wont be able to protect you from having this kind of rancor enter you. And you wont be able to surpass it! Your girlfriend, who just lost her memories, is more suited to it. The power of the god of death she seeds is extreme. However, this necromancer has already chosen you, and you cant do anything to change that. Anyway, listen to me and you will be fine. I wouldnt try to cause harm to you! Okay, then Im going. Remember my words. Saying that, Ye Xiaolei pointed her finger to the void, once again opening that green gate of light. Taking a step forward, the little girl shook the braids on her head, and disappeared into the green light. Seeing her vanish, Long Haochens eyes shed with thankfulness. But rapidly, it got reced by worries. Even he felt confused about the fact that Caier lost her memories. Since even Ye Xiaolei was unable to treat her, recovery was probably only possibly by relying on herself. Yue Ye, please help me sit straight. Long Haochen asked the nearby Yue Ye. Because of his worry towards Caier, he didnt even notice that something was wrong with Yue Yes state of mind. Hearing Long Haochens voice, Yue Ye was slightly shaken, and unconsciously joined his side, cing him in a cross-legged position. Didnt that girl just say you need to rest? What are you doing? Yue Ye asked with doubt in her voice. Long Haochen forced a smile, Now that Caier lost her memories, I have to recover as fast as possible. Otherwise, how can I take care of her? Be at ease, when my strength is back, I will bring you out of here. Only, Im worried about the restriction Caier left on your body. I dont have any way to dispel it, but I will definitely do my best to help her recover her memories as soon as possible, so that you can get rid of it. Yue Ye shook her head, No need, the restriction is already dispelled. At the time you brought her back here, I noticed that it disappeared from my body. This should be rted to her insightful awakening. Long Haochen, I am grateful for the time you saved my Yue Ye Caravan at the edge of the demon territory, but over these years, I also provided considerable help for you. I believe that this was sufficient to repay your kindness from that time. From today onwards, we wont have any rtion, and in the future, dont put me in impossible situations again. Given your current cultivation, you can already enter the demon territory without the help from my merchant group. Yue Yes voice was bing colder and colder, before turning cold as ice. It was as if her voice was a mirror of her mood. Even she herself didnt understand why she became so cold. That wasnt her original idea, yet she unconsciously said all these words. Was it to run away? Or something else? Chapter 414 - Return (I)

Chapter 414: Return (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Wrinkling his eyebrows, Long Haochen asked after some time of pondering, Then, what if we want to buy information from you in the future? He really didnt want topel Yue Ye. Ever since they became a Demon Hunt Squad, Yue Ye could be said to be their greatest support in the demon territory. If they lost her intelligencework, the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad would absolutely not be so rxed in demon territory as they were now. Yue Yes eyes shed with distress, thinking to herself: _So as it turns out, I am only someone you want to use. Right! I am a demon, and the daughter of the Moon Demon God. Aside from someone you can use, do you even think something of me?_ Yes. But the price of my information isnt low. Yue Ye replied coldly. Long Haochen nodded to her but he didnt say anything more. He was only thinking about Caier, who lost all memories. Yue Ye suddenly asked, Was it AhBao who gave the order to attack you? Her face portrayedplicated emotions. Long Haochen nodded. Yue Ye replied, I want to know the details about the battle. I will exchange it for some information that will be valuable to you. Long Haochen finally sensed that something was wrong with Yue Yes mood, Whats wrong? Do you feel unwell? This has nothing to do with you. Unable to control her own feelings, Yue Ye mumbled these words. With a light sigh, Long Haochen offered her some words of constions, Dont overthink this. Hes not the same as me. As the demon crown prince, and sessor of the Demon God Emperor, he will certainly often have to consider the wellbeing of the demon race. At that time, Caier was having her awakening as a gods chosen one, so even he felt restless, thus giving the order to attack us. Yue Ye stared nkly at Long Haochen, Why are you defending your mortal enemy? Long Haochen appeared slightly shaken, but shook his head with a bitter smile, Hes my mortal enemy, but you are my friend. I only hope that you can feel better. Otherwise Id feel ashamed, for having used the threat of that restriction for so long until now. Its also good that the restriction got dispelled, now there wont be any barriers between us. Do you really consider me as friend? Yue Ye gazed at Long Haochens eyes. Long Haochen nodded, As long as you dont participate in killing humans, you will be my friend. The haze in her heart suddenly dispelled, and Yue Ye regained that sweet smile on her face, Okay, we are friends. In the future, when youe to buy information from me, Ill give you a discount (note: literally to break). Seeing her mood recover, Long Haochen couldnt help but show a smile, Is it my left leg or my right leg that you are going to break? Yue Ye showed a smile, So actually, you werent sincere. That means, youre not such a good person. Long Haochen was startled, Whats not good about me? Yue Ye snorted, Im not telling you. Hurry up and start focusing on your recovery! Long Haochen revealed a smile. Closing his eyes, he allowed his body to start cultivating, as safely as he could. Seeing his expression regain calm, Yue Ye had a silly look, thinking to herself: Your fault is having no fault! Otherwise, how could you have influenced me? Modu Core City. What? Austin Griffin is with Long Haochen and as his mount? The Demon God Emperor stood on the pedestal in front of his throne, facing the pale-looking AhBao. Bang! The dragon head decorating the throne suddenly exploded due to the force of the Demon God Emperor, turning into dust. The Demon God Emperors breath was visibly rushed, and his handsome face actually warped, while he emitted a very dense killing intent flowing around like water. Even with AhBaos toughness, he actually couldnt bear this killing intenting from the Demon God Emperor. With a stuffy groan, he drew back slightly and spat out some blood. The Demon God Emperor had just lost his temper due to this realization. With a wave of his hand, a purplish ck radiance spread over AhBaos body, and hisplexion improved. AhBao was no less shocked than his father. That was still the first time he saw his father lose control like that. Actually, even he didnt know what kind of existence Austin Griffin was. This secret seemed to be only known by the demon gods. The Demon God Emperor walked back and forth in front of his throne, marching through the broad hall. His ck eyes turned red for some reason, and his breath became a lot rougher than usual. The spiritual energy from his body produced unstable fluctuations, and his sinister face promised another outbreak of his temper anytime soon. AhBao didnt dare utter a word, much less give a suggestion. Facing a Demon God Emperor in this kind of state, even the top ten ranked demon gods would surely not even dare make a sound in front of him. Such a powerful aura even shook the whole Modu Core City. After no less than half an hour, the Demon God Emperor finally stopped in his tracks, letting out a loud shout, Huang Shuo! Yes. In the darkness, the tall Huang Shuo appeared, quietly kneeling down with both his knees touching the ground. The Demon God Emperor coldly ordered, Summon the Moon Demon God Agares, the Star Demon God Vassago, the Specter Demon God Saminaga and the Hell Demon God Marbas to the pce for an urgent discussion. Yes, your highness. Huang Shuo gave him a respectful reply, immediately turning back. AhBao fell down to his knees because the pressure unleashed by his father filled him with astonishment. The Demon God Emperor summoning the second, third, fourth and fifth demon gods to a meeting was an extremely rare urrence. In his eyes, this Austin Griffin may certainly be quite powerful, but was he really worth this much attention from the emperor? Nheless, he didnt dare ask about it, because the current Demon God Emperor was really too fearsome. Tower of Eternity. Long Haochens cultivation was at its lowest level. Just as Ye Xiaolei said, the injuries he had just sustained were really too heavy, injuring him to the roots. Although after Ye Xiaoleis treatment, the wounds on the surface were already healed, the overdraft to his body couldnt possibly be recovered so rapidly, and would require some time of rest. But how could Long Haochen give himself that time of rest? Given the ominous matter about Caier, Long Haochen was filled with self-me, and wanted to look after her with all his might. The feeling he continuously experienced in his whole body was nowhere close tofortable. Long Haochen could feel that his own spiritual energy channels still contained some spiritual energy, but it was scattered in his entire body. Even during cultivation, he was only able to gather bits by bits of it. Facing an unprecedented challenge, he had difficulties to even maintain his consciousness in his current weak state. However, Long Haochen was still a gods chosen one after all, and therefore far surpassed ordinary fighters in elemental control. After meeting some difficulties in attempting to gather his spiritual energy, he found another original method. Rather than focusing on the transfer of his spiritual energy, he chose to arouse it. Very cautiously, he stimted every little bit of light energy in his body, letting the light essence distribute itself in him. This way, the aura of light flooded his body even better. The results at the beginning werent very distinct. When the light essence got aroused by his spirit, it only appeared to shine more brightly at first. But as the quantity of light energy aroused by Long Haochen increased, a sensation of warmth started to spread to his flesh, his energy channels, his internal organs and his bones, and they started to glow with vital energy. This undoubtedly elerated his recovery speed to an extreme extent. Given Long Haochens level of intelligence, he immediately had some understanding of this idental discovery. Although this couldnt be called magic, it could at least be considered as a self-healing method, able to greatly elerate ones self-recovery and healing. Of course, this method wasnt suited to everyone. There existed two premises, one, to have a sufficient mental force and to have a fine control over every bit of light essence. Second, there was also the matter of the element. If it was Lin Xin instead, wouldnt having his fire essence ignited cause self-iinmmation? Only the light element and the water element would be fit for this kind of self-healing method. As for its name, Long Haochen didnt give it much thought and just called it Light Treatment. Under the effects of Light Treatment, Long Haochens body gradually produced golden colored light, and as his body recovered, the speed at which it absorbed light essence also kept going up. ording to Ye Xiaoleis words, Long Haochen would need twelve hours to recover his bodys functions, but after twelve hours passed, he had not only recovered his bodys functions, but also over seventy percent of his spiritual energy. Through cultivation, Long Haochen found out that in the process of absorbing the light essence to purify his spiritual energy, it started by umting it in the spiritual cavity in his chest, while his other spiritual cavities between the eyebrows and on his abdomen still didnt show any activity. It seemed as if only after the spiritual cavity in his chest was filled uppletely, would the other two start gathering light essence. However, the fact it wasnt able to store any of it didnt mean it couldnt help him in the process of purification. The other two spiritual cavities did the same work as the one on his chest habitually did, only working a lot slower than the one on his chest. As for the mastery of his spiritual cavities, it would need continuous cultivation. But currently, Long Haochen didnt have much time, because Caier was already starting to wake up from her long slumber. Although Long Haochen was cultivating all this time, his attention was still focused on Caier, and when she finally came back to her senses, he immediately awoke from the state of cultivation. Caier! Long Haochen called her lightly, rushing to join her side. Caier slowly opened her hazy eyes, and gave a dull look to Long Haochen, before looking at the surroundings and suddenly grabbing Long Haochens hand, Why? Why is it that I cant think of anything? In the end, who am I? And whats this ce? Long Haochen replied gently, You are Caier, and I am Long Haochen. Because of the awakening of your power, you suffered some setback, thus you temporarily lost your memories. Dont worry, everything will get well. I will definitely help you recover your memories. Caier shook her head forcefully, grabbing strands of her hair that had turned a lusterful grey color, revealing a pained look on her delicate face. I I really cannot think of anything. I feel so bad, so bad. Chapter 415 - Return (II)

Chapter 415: Return (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen felt a very sharp pain in his heart, and couldnt help but take her in his arms. rmed, Caier fiercely pushed him away. She protectively ced her hands on her chest, What what are you doing? Long Haochen hastily replied, Dont be afraid, Caier. I wont do anything else than keeping youpany, is it okay? Calm down for now. The more anxious you feel, the harder it will be for you to regain your memories. Are you willing to listen to me as I tell you everything about you? Repeatedlyforted by Long Haochen, Caier gradually calmed down from her state of fear, but still gave Long Haochen a wary look, Donte near, speak from there! Okay. Long Haochen agreed, using a warm voice to speak, You are called Caier, and are an assassin from the Assassin Temple of the Temple Alliance. Temple Alliance? Whats that? And what is the Assassin Temple? Caier gave Long Haochen a nk look. Long Haochen was astonished. He didnt think Caiers memory loss would be so extensive. Caier, then sit down. I will slowly tell you about it. Yeah. Caiers resistance seemed to weaken, as sheplied to his rmendation, slowly sitting down. However, just after sitting, she wrinkled her eyebrows, Im really hungry! Indeed, the three of them didnt eat anything for a day and a night. Long Haochen hastened to take out food and water to give to the two girls. Long Haochen carefully provided food for Caier, and even intentionally used Holy Fire to roast her portion, taking meticulous care of her. Standing nearby, Yue Ye watched Long Haochen cook food for Caier as he started telling her about the condition of Shengmo Dalu, sounding sentimental. For some reason, she felt her heart ache and her nose sour, while tears glinted in her eyes. _If one day, a man would do all this for me, I would be willing to go as far as to die for him._ Caiers fear and rejection gradually disappeared, melting under Long Haochens care and his recounting of her story. Hearing everything said by Long Haochen, her mind gradually stabilized. She appeared just like a thirsty traveler suddenly finding an oasis in an endless desert. Carefully listening to everything told by Long Haochen, at least her mind didnt feel nk anymore. About every half hour of talk, Long Haochen gave Caier have some time of rest to digest everything he told, before continuing. Just him telling about the continents history and the present condition of the continent took nearly two hours. The first time we met, I was very little. At that time, you were a lot stronger than me. I was just nine years old at that time, and picking vegetables to bring them home. Then suddenly, the you who was back then a thin girl of seven or eight years old fell to the ground. I still remember our next encounter. At that time, I didnt even recognize you, but you recognized me through the forget-me-not ring, yet didnt tell me. That was so mean of you! But that period passed so fast, as if the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition wasnt of much importance. In the Exorcist Mountain Pass, we were living in a dormitory. As though nobody else was present, you built us a little home, and that touched me greatly. I secretly pledged to myself that in the future, I would definitely give you a warm home. Your suffering is all my fault. Because I didnt take good care of you, you are hurt so badly now. Long Haochen kept speaking slowly, his voice sounding warm, as if soaking Caiers heart in a clear spring. That was until she fell asleep, her head sinking on her own shoulder. On the other side, Yue Ye had be silly from listening long ago, focusing even more than Caier herself on listening. This situationsted for a total of three days. Every day, Long Haochen kept telling Caier about everything, providing food and drinks for her, but as for the private business proper to a girl, she naturally let Yue Ye teach her about it. Long Haochens ount was very detailed, and he was very patient, repeating himself when necessary, and through the three days of contact, Caier finally stopped being indifferent to him and instead saw him as someone close to her. Still, she could as before not remember anything, and could only barely ept everything told by Long Haochen. Caiers strength wasnt lost, but in the contrary, greatly increased. The only good news were that she still preserved her battle instincts. The only memories she had left were her abilities as an assassin. And furthermore, based on everything Caier said, she seemed to be able to control a new power, that she didnt know much in detail about, but ording to Long Haochens judgment, would be fit for close-quarter battles. Making use of her new insights, the new powers she got was of course rted to her identity as the chosen one of the God of Death. Through several days of contact, the amnesic Caier gradually epted Long Haochen. But right now, she was like a piece of white paper, unaware of the affairs of the world, who could only regard him as a friend, without her past feelings towards him. Yue Ye saw many times how Long Haochen gazed at her, sad and depressed, when Caier was sleeping or cultivating. We should return. Caier, are you ready? Long Haochen finally asked her. Yeah. Caier lightly nodded, winking with her pair ofrge eyes. Contrary to the expectations, she was a lot more lively than before. Secretly letting out a sigh, Long Haochen called out to Yue Ye and activated the Eternal Melody. A glint of golden light enveloped the three of them, and Caier unconsciously pressed close to Long Haochen, grabbing his sleeve and tightly shut both her eyes, looking very nervous. Yue Ye also quietly pressed close to Long Haochen, taking a furtive look at him, but all she saw was that his whole attention was on Caier. With a glint of golden light, the three of them returned to the wilderness. On the surface, it was night, but neither the moon nor the stars could be seen, because everything around was pitch ck. Caier, its done, we are back on the continent. Long Haochen lightly touched her to get her attention. Caier opened her eyes, giving a curious look to the surroundings, Is this our original world? Long Haochen showed her a smile, Thats right! In a bit you will get to meet ourrades. Oh. But you will always stay by my side, right? Caier asked with an expectant look. Long Haochen nodded, I will, forever. Caierughed at him, Then thats good. Youre a good person. Tell me about those I forgot. You are my boyfriend right? Long Haochen chuckled, Yes! I will stay by your side and defend you forever. Hm! Caier nodded. Haochen, I have to go. Yue Yes voice resounded from the other side. Turning his head to look at her, Long Haochen saw a lonely look on her face, You should go back. Dont overthink this. If you need anything from us, you can tell the people from the Yue Ye Caravan to look for me in Holy City. We have alreadypleted the great majority of the missions we have epted. Perhaps we wont keep epting missions for some time. Im thinking about bringing Caier back to her parents, and see whether this will help her recall anything. Yue Ye suddenly became silent, lowering her head, thinking of something no one else knew. Long Haochen gave her a puzzled look, and at his side, Caier also raised her head. Only, she visibly didnt have that good of an impression of Yue Ye, her look towards her still containing some hostility. Yue Ye suddenly raised her head, looking straight at Long Haochen, The Devil Snake God Andromalius is in the eastern part of the Andro Province. Reportedly, he was looking for something in the Swamps of Gloom as ofte. Andromalius is naturally disposed as a mistrustful and powerful person, who always carries his demon god pir with him. Although he is merely thest ranked of the seventy-two demon gods, his sub-ordinate Devil Snake n is very strong, otherwise they wouldnt be guarding a province by themselves. To handle him, you must kill the four Medusas standing by his side first. However, never look into the Medusas eyes. If you see their eyes, you have to get rid of them before the petrification ends. Otherwise, you wont ever be able to recover. Medusas are demons of the sixth step, and the regr Devil Snakes are mostly between the third and the fifth step. Long Haochen gave her an amazed look, You Yue Ye smiled as ifughing at herself, Its nothing. Thats your reward forforting me. In the future, if you want to get information from me, the cost will be high. I will be going now. Saying this, she turned around and looked afar, but without taking many steps, she once again stopped in her tracks. Abruptly turning around, she gave a provoking nce at Caier, and dered towards Long Haochen, If you had met me first, I would definitely have made you fall for me! With a glint of purple light, Yue Ye once again turned around and moved quickly. Her eyes were filled with tears, as if ready to overflow at anytime. Long Haochen was shocked, seeing her disappear, and for a moment, he was unable to say anything. Actually, he wasnt someone who couldnt understand cues, but it was just that during these past few days, all his attention was focused on Caier, so he didnt pay much attention to Yue Ye. Yue Yes words rang in his ears, and for a moment he couldnt help but feel unable to think. Humpf, whats so amazing with her? Facing the direction of the departing Yue Ye, Caier stuck out her tongue, I have seen through the malicious intentions she harbors long before. Long Haochen, tell me, do you like her or me? Seeing that obstinate face of Caiers, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel torn betweenughter and tears. Still, he felt some difference. In the past, Caier would never have asked him this kind of thing. Caier was originally a reserved person, but after losing her memories, her personality became more extroverted. Wasnt this a perfect exemple?! What susceptible girl she became now. Of course I like you! In my life, you are the only person I will ever like. Long Haochen softly pulled her hand, seriously telling these words. In some panic, Caier evaded his look and took back her hands, You Dont be like this. I feel a little strange. Didnt you say you would bring me to look for ourrades? Lets go then. Major Jacques City, team section. Over the past days, the atmosphere in the whole team section has been staying very dark. Be it the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad or the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, all of them were in a very gloomy mood, especially the five of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, who were extremely depressed. If not for the fact that they could feel that Long Haochen and Caier were still alive through the Soul Linking Chains, they would have already broken emotionally. Chapter 416 - Return (III)

Chapter 416: Return (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Over these past days, they couldnt help but leave twice, looking for traces of Long Haochen, but ended up empty-handed both times. For his part, Tian Qing brought hisrades to search for them frantically after taking a short time of rest, and did everything he could. Although he didnt say anything all this time, from his bloodshot eyes, one could see how guilty he was feeling. Right! How could he be at ease? It was because of his mistake that their two Demon Hunt Squads were put in such such danger. If not for what Long Haochen did, surely none of them would have returned alive. Right now, they were safe and sound, but Long Haochen and Caier could be in mortal danger, and this feeling was even more painful than if he was the one being killed. Han Yu, lets go to Modu City in search for Boss. Wang Yuanyuan abruptly stood up, telling in a high voice. Without Long Haochen here, Han Yu temporarily took over the position as leader of the team. I agree. Sima Xian brazenly assented, the veins on his clenched fists clearly visible. When they departed from Holy City, every one of them sensed a great increase in their strength, but when they really battled against demons, especially during thest battle, they realized that their strength was still insignificant, and that at the crucial time, they were unable to help Long Haochen. Facing so many demon powerhouses, they didnt even have the opportunity to act. Lin Xin and Chen Yinger got up with very red eyes, and the four of them all looked at Han Yu. Looking at them, Han Yu also slowly stood up, Rationally speaking, I should stop you. This time, we will have ny percent odds of departing from this world forever, and I shouldnt let you rashly take such risks. However, fuck reason. Lets go. Saying this, he grabbed the sword on his side, and was the first to head out. Just as they were going out, the five of them were stopped by a tall person. Get out of the way. Sima Xian shouted loudly, immediately picking up the Energetic Ball of Light in his hand. The one blocking their way was the 17th king grade Demon Hunt Squad captain Tian Qing. I cannot let you go. We already made a big error, and cannot keep continuing to make them. Without Haochen here, I will protect you on his behalf no matter what. Fuck off! Sima Xian shouted in anger, this time bing blunt. The Energetic Ball of Light was ordingly swung above his head. The others from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad also sessively released their spiritual energy. The discontent and resent they had all this time toward Tian Qing finally erupted. Tian Qing took a deep breath, If killing me can quench the grief in your hearts, I wont stop you. But we are Demon Hunters, as such, how can we die at the hands of our own people? I know that everything is my fault, please give me a chance for redemption. I dont ask for much, just please let me be the one to head for the Core City. If within ten days, myrades and I cannot bring back news, it will not be toote for you to move on your own. The danger Haochen is facing is all due to my mistake. If someone has to throw away his life, please let me be the one to do so. My only hope is that while facing death, I can avoid that fate for others. At this point point, his body erupted with a powerful energy, furthermore, being a Mythril Foundation Knight, he was already at the peak of the seventh step. Through the battle against AhBao, he came a lot closer to the eighth step, and he seemed very determined. Over the past few days, the five remaining members of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad were very mournful. How could they possibly feel good? Their pain even kept increasing with time. Having gotten no news after several days, everyone already had the worse possible scenarios ying in their minds. At this time, they couldnt keep enduring this torment. Sima Xians face eased up, and indifferently, he said the words, Please step aside, saying all this is of no use. You may do whatever you want but it wont matter to us. Boss is our captain and we believe in his strength. Unless you kill us, you wont be able to stop us from leaving from here. Saying this, purple electricity was curling up around his body, and his whole body burst out with cold killing intent. Sima, calm down. Han Yu shouted. Saying this, he joined Sima Xians side, and dered to Tian Qing, Captain Tian Qing, we dont want to y the me game for the mistakes in thest operation. You should understand the decision you made, but the mistake is already done, and we wont me you as it cannot change anything regarding the safety and well-being of our Captain. Now, please dont stop us. Like Sima said, mind your own business, because looking for Captain is our duty. We are absolutely sure that Captain and Vice-captain are still alive, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will absolutely not renounce. Tian Qing silently shook his head, Even if you knock me down, I still wont let you go. Come. Then, let me just knock you down again and again. Sima Xian was already unable to hold back. The team section was narrow, but this didnt affect his shot with the Energetic Ball of Light, and so the massive golden metallic ball wasunched right at Tian Qing. Sima, stop your hand. A distinct shout sounded out from Tian Qings back. Hearing this voice, the Energetic Ball of Light thrown by Sima Xian suddenly fell to the ground, producing a massive rumbling that gave some pain to the ears of everyone present. Everyone had a nk look, and immediately, all of them disyed unconceble happiness. Tian Qing suddenly turned around, and saw right behind his back, Long Haochen walking withrge strides with a curious Caier at his back, who had a somewhat apprehensive look on her face. Boss. Sima Xian shouted, charging at Long Haochen in big strides. His robust body directly knocked Tian Qing, who was blocking their path, out of the way, and right when arriving in front of Long Haochen, he gave him a bear hug. It was not only him, but everyone in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad was filled with excitement, and charged at Long Haochen. Even the stoic Han Yu couldnt help but overflow with tears. Due to the excitement from seeing them, everyone felt as if their blood was set on fire. Their joy could already not be described with words. Chen Yinger even threw herself at Long Haochen, giving a kiss on his face, causing him to blush. Caier unconsciously drew back, and increased the distance separating her from Long Haochen, giving these people who looked strange to her, a curious look. Although due to her memory loss, she didnt understand the reason for this kind of situation, she could vaguely sense the sincerity they had towards Long Haochen. After giving all hisrades a hug, Long Haochen suddenly gave a look to Tian Qing who was silently leaving, calling out in haste, Brother Tian Qing. Tian Qings body went very still. Stopping his steps, he turned around with a bitter smile, I dont deserve to be called brother by you. Just call me by my name. Long Haochen tookrge strides towards Tian Qing, cing his right fist on his left chest, and giving him a knight salute. Almost unconsciously, Tian Qing saluted back. Long Haochen told with a deep tone, Why are you discouraged just from failing once? Although you were a bit extreme during this operation, not everything you did was wrong. At the time of battle, you repeatedly proposed letting yourrades and you stay behind for us, and didnt lose your honor as a knight. In my heart, you are still an elder, brother-like knight. You shouldnt be discouraged like that, but keep leading yourrades for the honor of the knights, and fight for the future of humanity. Brother Tian Qing, I dont me you. Foolishly looking at Long Haochen, Tian Qing started to weakly tremble. Actually, his lips were frozen, and even from this unshakable man, tears incessantly welled up. Haochen, Im so sorry! With both his knees turning soft, he kneeled down. Long Haochen hurried to give him a hug, Brother Tian Qing, everything is already over. Arent we still well and alive? The constrained emotion he had been suppressing during these past dayspletely broke its way now, and this powerful Mythril Foundation Armored Knight, a vigorous man who usually shed blood on the battlefield, not tears, was now crying like a child. This was how powerful his pain was. Nheless, crying here was the best, otherwise if he didnt vent these feelings, perhaps this would lead to his ruinter. A man and another holding each other, that feels a little strange. A voice that carried some reservation and shyness suddenly remarked. Wang Yuanyuan unconsciously rebuked, Yinger, stop joking around. Nheless, after saying this, she felt that something was amiss with these words she just heard, because in front of her, Chen Yinger was looking back with stupefaction. Wang Yuanyuan immediately turned back, seeing with shock Caier move back with a pitiful expression, while giving them a furtive look. It was not only the two of them, but everyone else in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad couldnt help but look shocked. In their hearts, Caier was always cold, silent, resolute, daring, and powerful. In the team, they respected Long Haochen the most, while they certainly all feared Caier. Although Caier didnt speak a lot, whenever the need arose, she would step forward and filled Long Haochens position in the team, and no one would doubt her. Her strength was obvious to all of them, being a powerful being capable of instantly killing powerhouses of the eighth step. In the past, Long Haochen and her were the dual cores of the team. Who would have thought that at this time, Caier would actually suddenly say such words. This could already not be called strange anymore. Caier unconsciously shifted to Long Haochens side, and with a dodge, hid herself behind Long Haochens back, grabbing the back of his clothes with both her hands. While supporting Tian Qing with his hands, as he saw the shocked looks on hisrades faces, his expression darkened as he said, Never mind. Well speak of this after going back. Brother Tian Qing, yourplexion doesnt look good. We are already back here, safe and sound, so you should also take some rest. We cannot stay in Major Jacques City for much longer. Leaving as early as possible is better. Right, Im giving you back your Mythril Foundation Armor, Brother. Saying this, he released the silver box-shaped legendary armor in front of Tian Qing. Chapter 417 - Surprise Attack! Light Meteor (I)

Chapter 417: Surprise Attack! Light Meteor (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Tian Qing didnt ept it, shaking his head, I am already not qualified enough to wear this armor. Im giving it as present to you, younger brother. Long Haochen smiled at him, No, big brother. Dont tell me you believe that I am unable to win a set of Mythril Foundation Armor by relying on my own strength at our Knight Temple? In a sh, Tian Qing remarked, Right! With your strength, winning a Mythril Foundation Armor wont be a challenge. That way it will be your own honor. Haochen, its really good that youre safe and sound. Ill not be saying anything more on this subject. I am not fit to act as your big brother. In the future, if you need any help from our team, no matter how high the danger is, we wont spare any cost. We will be standing with you shoulder to shoulder. Then Ill not keep bothering you. After saying this, he gave another knight salute to the whole 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, turning back with an ashamed face. He actually didnt have the face to stay here. His culpability was not something that could be dispelled in such a short time, and Tian Qing secretly pledged to himself that one day he would return this favor, going as far as sacrificing his life, if necessary. Captain, Caier, she Wang Yuanyuan asked anxiously. Slightly sighing, the grief in Long Haochens eyes became obvious to everyone, Lets go to a room to speak about that. When saying these words, he turned around to nod at Caier, then led her inside. The rooms in the team section werent big, so with seven people in one room, it was somewhat crowded, and the atmosphere was really depressing. Damned demons! Sima Xian ferociously beat the wall on his side. Hearing Long Haochen tell them about what happened after everyone separated, they felt enraged, as one might well imagine. Caier was merely standing nearby and listened, asionally giving a look to Long Haochen, filled with hesitation and fear for strangers. Can you all tell me who is who? As if not sensing the grief of the others, Caier asked with curiosity. After losing her memories, she apparently had little courage, but was very curious regarding everything. Everyone suppressed their own feelings of sorrow and gave an introduction of themselves. After giving them serious looks, Caier hid herself behind Long Haochen again. A change appeared in the coloring of Long Haochens cheeks, they turned deeply red, and he slowly drew some air, My body is fundamentally recovered, so let us discuss our following course of action. Caier lost her memories, but her strength increased. Its just that with her current temperament, its hard to say whether shell be able to disy her strength. The overwhelming majority of the sixteen missions we took this time arepleted, and the remaining three missions consist of killing the Devil Snake God Andromalius, a hundred regr Devil Snakes, and two Medusas. Based on the informations I got from Yue Ye, the Devil Snake God Andromalus is located in the eastern Andro Province. I examined the map, and found that Andro Province is located to the north of the Central Province, and quite close from this team section. It is near the northern border of the continent, at the coast. But because its very far from the Alliance, the defenses there are not very tight. The biggest mission assigned to the demons there is to catch fish from the sea, to amodate their deficiency of food. Except for the mission of killing Andromalius, for which we dont have a great chance of sess, the other two missions are quite easy. And furthermore, Yue Ye said that Andromalius was looking for something in the Swamps of Gloom in his territory. If the seven of us can encircle him there, we should have a decent chance at killing him. My only worry now is regarding Caiers condition. Her battle instincts are still there, but her attitude is as you all just saw. Having obtained this information with great difficulty, we can definitely not give up so easily. Caiers strength can temporarily not be counted on. While we arepleting the mission, I will possibly let her stay in the Tower of Eternity. This will make it harder for us to kill Andromalius. Of course, the best situation would be to have Caier recover her memories and regain her fighting abilities. After the closure of our missions, I will bring her back to have a reunion with her rtives at the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Perhaps, the influence from her family will help her recover some memories. Han Yu kept a low voice, Captain, if we dont have the help from vice captain, Im afraid that killing the Devil Snake God will be Long Haochen continued, Yes, the difficulty is high, but its not as if there is no good news for us. After the battle against AhBao, my cultivation level had a breakthrough and I am now at the seventh step. We can at leastplete the other two missions, as for whether we can kill the Devil Snake God or not, we will act ording to our own abilities. I pondered carefully during thest few days, and originally nned to immediately bring Caier back to the Alliance. But afterwards, I reflected on it and thought that for Caier, who has trained for so many years, perhaps a battle will help her recover her memories even better. I will protect her well, so we should head for Andro Province. Listening to his exnation, everyone couldnt help but nod, densely packed with fighting intent. In the previous battle, when they were encircled by the six Demon Hunter Remover squads, Long Haochen could be said to have saved the two Demon Hunt Squads on his own, bearing all the pressure. Moreover, with the fact that Caier lost her memories as a result, how could they be feeling good? Everyone med themselves to some extent, and their hatred towards demons only grew deeper. This great hatred could only be appeased with blood. News came from outside the team section: at the present time, Major Jacques City was under heavy surveince, and patrols seemed to be present in every street of the city. Two Demon Hunter Remover squads were staying behind to guard the inside of the city. Not only that, but even outside of the city, a great amount of mounted soldiers was standing guard, searching for traces of them. At the time of Long Haochen and Caiers return, although they didnt run into trouble, they had to avoid several patrols to get back. Nightfall. Taking advantage of the night, a group of people came out of a small restaurant. Every one of them was d in long cloaks, and the one leading them was Long Haochen, d in his Glorious Holy Armor. They didnt leave Major Jacques City through some secret passage, but just came out of the team section at nightfall. Currently everyone was disguised as demons, with their eyes turned purple. Entirely in the shape of Moon Demons, the only special aspect on them was that everyone was surrounded by a very thick killing intent. Deciding on a direction, Long Haochen said in a low voice, ording to the map drawn by the people from the team section, the seat of government should be in that direction. Lets go. Currently, the whole Jacques Province was on high alert, so if the seven of them were to try leaving quietly, they would very possibly get found out, and inevitably chased by the enemies. Long Haochens n was very simple. It consisted ofunching a surprise attack on the seat of government located in Major Jacques City, to spread chaos in the city, and cause the demons lying outside to flock inside the city, permitting them to leave more smoothly. This was undoubtedly a dangerous move, but with the existence of the Tower of Eternity, the amount of danger was negligible. And furthermore, although two or even more Demon Hunter Remover squads were present in the city, they couldnt immediately appear, and all they needed to do was tounch an attack before retreating, and not to get entangled in battles. The group of seven rapidly advanced toward the official residence, but after only passing through one street, they ran into a patrol of Jacques Demons. A group of twenty Jacques Demons barred their way, led by a raging Jacques Demon, Who are you? Take off the hoods covering your heads! Long Haochen slowly lifted his head, two thick and icy glints shooting out from his eyes, Moon Demons at work. You looking for death? With a flip of his hand, he revealed his Moon Demon Viscount insignia. red at by his purple demon eyes, the Jacques Demon immediately stumbled back several steps, hastily bing respectful, So you were seniors of the Moon Demon n. My apologies. Giving a cold snort, Long Haochen showed the excessive arrogance of the Moon Demons. Not paying the least bit of attention to these Jacques Demons, he led hisrades and kept going forward. The defenses inside Major Jacques City were indeed very tight. The distance from the team section to the official residence couldnt be regarded asrge, but on their way, they encountered five patrols. Nheless, relying on their disguise as Moon Demons, they didnt run into any obstacles. Their viscount insignia and Long Haochens striking resemnce to a Moon Demon, due to his handsome appearance, proved to be of great value. In the distance, the seat of government came to view. Compared to the official residences in cities of the Temple Alliance, this ce could only be described with the words, simple and crude. It only had two floors, yet upied quite arge area. The building looked old-fashioned, and many areas were damaged, with traces of poorly applied patched. Long Haochen brought hisrades to a dark corner in an alley, and gave an eye signal to Lin Xin, meanwhile his body shed with a golden glint of light. Yating appeared at his side without a sound. She had regained her strength along with Long Haochen, and was naturally recovered entirely. Long Haochen nodded to Lin Xin, Be prepared, and when Yatings spell starts, activate yours as well. Lin Xin nodded, revealing a look full of excitement, containing even some cruelty. With a wave of his hand, a magic scroll appeared in his hand. Yating lifted her staff, chanting melodiously. Standing in the center of Long Haochens group, she tried to dim the golden radiance emitted from her body as much as possible. Yatings incantation was melodious and effective, and the light essence spreading out from her grew more and more dense, as the massive aura of light gradually became impossible to conceal, spreading outward. The seat of government gradually showed some movement. How could they not pay attention to this dense light essence? Hurried steps already started to sound out, and rapidly, a patrol appeared in Long Haochens line of sight. What are you all doing here? A Jacques Demon rapidly rushed at Long Haochens group With a cold nce, Long Haochen gave the order, Leave no one alive. Chapter 418 - Surprise Attack! Light Meteor (II)

Chapter 418: Surprise Attack! Light Meteor (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Following his order, Wang Yuanyuan was already takingrge strides. Gliding three meters with each step, and treading heavily on the ground with her left feet, she weed the Jacques Demon Patrol on the ground. Those Jacques Demon reflexively threw their spears at Wang Yuanyuan, but she didnt even avoid these, not even making use of the Divine Soul Shield to block these. In the air, her silver Spatial Guarding Armor let out ripples of silver light, showing a hugely impressive Spatial Armor, which stopped all the spears flying at her. What followed was the scene of a tiger in the midst of a flock of sheep. In Wang Yuanyuans hands, the Divine Soul Shield swung, making a horizontal movement before sttering forward. Screams apanied with sshes of blood filled the whole street, as the bodies of the Jacques Demons were far too weakpared to the Divine Soul Shield. In front of that terrifying heavy shield, not a single intact corpse was left. Caier eyes were wide open, hiding herself behind Long Haochens back, she even trembled at this sight. The scene before her eyes was just too violent. Seeing the scattered limbs of the Jacques Demons fly in all directions, and the burst of their blood, sputtering the walls on the sides of the street, her face waspletely pale. In the past few days, she was always following Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger. How could she expect that this tall and very good-natured girl actually had such power, and to be able to act with such violence? Long Haochen looked at Caier in silence, sensing the changes in her mood, but he didnt say anything. Caier, who lost her memories, was to be stimted in all aspects in a hope to recover her memories. Among these,bat was an indispensable part. Twenty Jacques Demons looked harmless in front of Wang Yuanyuan, who finally got to vent her inner rage. She wasnt using any abilities,pletely relying on battle technique, and the destructive power of the Divine Soul Shield. During the times she stopped, no one in this Jacques Demons Patrol was able to breathe. However, even more Jacques Demons were rushing in their direction now. Long Haochen told Caier in low voice, Stay close to me. Dont be afraid, I will protect you. No matter what, as long as I am alive, I will definitely stand in front of you and protect you with my life. For some reason, hearing him say this, the panic filling Caier lessened, and she suddenly had an absolutely secure feeling when standing by the side of this good looking man. This feeling of security greatly lessened her fear. Almost unconsciously, Caier took the initiative for the first time after losing her memories to take Long Haochens hand. Her small hand felt ice-cold, and Long Haochen wrapped his own hand almost reflexively to warm it up, showing her a smile. In the meantime, the battle was in full swing. The position Long Haochens group chose was a dead end, and thus the enemies could only approach from one direction. After Wang Yuanyuan finished her first round of ughter, Sima Xian went up and swapped with her. Compared to Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xians rage was even more vtile, taking the shape of an even more terrible disy of strength. The Energetic Ball of Light flew directly in this narrow street, where none of the Jacques Demon were able to dodge. When the Divine Soul Shield was used, there remained at least snapped limbs, but now all that remained was meat paste. The Smash ability fully emerged,bined with the Crush ability from the evolution of the Energetic Ball of Light and Triple st, swept everything by the wind. Let alone the ordinary Jacques Demons, for a Jacques Officer of the sixth step that reached this ce for the first time, being immediately faced with the Energetic Ball of Light produced a result one can well imagine. The enemy was sent flying and his spear crushed. Sima Xian then followed up with another blow, immediately getting rid of him. Yatings incantation was finallypleted. Waving the staff in her hand, at the time herst syble was chanted, a fully translucent glint of brilliant golden light rose to the sky. This golden ball of light grew bigger and bigger, but because its distance was growing, its size seemed unchanged in the process, as if it remained that big all the time. However, when this golden ball of light rose to its peak, and started its descent, its size started to look unceasingly bigger to the public. And its goal was the seat of government of Major Jacques City. Long Haochen gave a nod to Lin Xin, who immediately went into action. The red scroll in his hand was suddenly opened, and an iparably strong fire element essence burst out from it. Countless human head sized fireballs were fired in quick session from it. Lin Xin had one hand on the scroll, while the other one was grabbing his Fire Cloud Crystal, relying on his formidable magic control to guide these fireballs with whizzing sound, splitting them apart. One was aiming at smashing the streets, while the other one aimed straight at the official residence. This was an offensive magic scroll of the fifth step, Rain of Fire, a reduced version of Fire Meteors Rain. But its might was absolutely not to be underestimated. These were not ordinary fireballs, but explosive fireball. Further adding Lin Xins urate control, what followed was terrible explosions urring in the seat of government. However, this was just the beginning. Lin Xin kept changing scrolls, and in a short amount of time, he already tore six of them: three of the fifth step and three of the sixth step. The six powerful offensive magic all smashed into the official residence. Right at this time, sounds of footsteps could be heard from afar. From the sound, one could determine that powerhouses wereing. But right at this moment, that golden ball of light unleashed by Yating finallynded. When the ball of light got close to the official residence, everyone saw with shock that its diameter was nearly ten meters. Was it that terrifying thing? Lin Xin was totally stupefied as he said this. Immediately, a terrible white light descended on top of the official residence, forming a white pir of light over a hundred meters long. It seemed that every surge of it illuminated the whole Major Jacques City, and the terrible fluctuations of light made even Long Haochen, the one chosen by the Goddess of Light, feel his heart palpitate. Afterpleting this spell, Yating immediately returned back to Long Haochens body. This spell almost consumed her whole magic power, and was chanted for a very long time. This was the proof of the issue of grade when releasing this spell. This was a spell of the eighth step, that Yating gained by reaching the seventh step along with Long Haochen, and the most powerful spell she could use, called Light Meteor. Even among spells of the eighth step, Light Meteor was ranked among the best. But this spell also had many ws. Yating being of inferior step, the time of chant was excessively long, and the consumption massive. Even half of Long Haochens spiritual energy was consumed by her toplete the spell. Furthermore, the time of incubation of Light Meteor was also very long. From its initial state as a ball of light, it would keep absorbing light essence in the air to gain in size and power. This spell was like a huge ma, strengthening itself through absorbing a great quantity of light essence in their air, otherwise Yating wouldnt have been able to use it. Conversely, at the time the Light Meteor descends, the target of the attack wouldnt be locked. Thus, the destruction of a building was an optimal use. We are going. Long Haochen said in a low shout, before suddenly spreading out the four wings on his back. Pulling Caiers hand, and bringing hisrades to the air, he rushed out of the street like a lightning bolt before his spiritual wings suddenly vanished. When they reached the other street by flight, they advanced at great speed in the direction of the team section. By then, Major Jacques City was in huge uproar. From suffering the magic bombardment of Lin Xin and Yating, the city was inplete disorder. In particr, the damage inflicted by Light Meteor was just too terrifying. At least four Jacques Commander were immediately sent to death by it, and to defend the seat of government, the only remaining Jacques Chief shed against the Light Meteor, ending up seriously injured. In the official residence, extending on a diameter of a hundred meters, a fifteen meter deep huge hole reced the original building. This whole attack was just too sudden. From the moment the magic fluctuations were detected to thepletion of the spell, only a quarter of an hour passed. As soon as they got the information, the two Demon Hunter Removers rushed back, but the attack was already over, and only a messy scene was left for them to see. And Long Haochens group had vanished long before. Smoothly returning to the team section, while killing some more patrolling teams on their way, Long Haochen didnt stop after returning to the tunnel. Bringing hisrades out of the city through the tunnel, they immediately used the night cover to head towards northeast direction. Everything was within Long Haochens calctions,unching an attack towards Major Jacques City wasnt done out of impulse, but after careful deliberation. This attack permitted not only to effectively kill some Jacques Demon, but more importantly drew the attention from the enemies. This was also to tell the enemies that they were in Major Jacques City and didnt leave. At least for a period of time, the attention of the enemies was going to stay in Major Jacques City, as they took advantage of this to leave, aiming for the Andro Province. Caiers abilities werent lost, only she seemed not to use them much. Always staying behind Long Haochen, her face became pale, visibly frightened by the previous massacre. Seeing this kind of attitude from her only made everyone else feel an even greater pain. Not so long ago, the assassin queen, Saint Daughter of Samsara Caier, never showed any fear towards ughtering demons. Chapter 419 - Surprise Attack! Light Meteor (III)

Chapter 419: Surprise Attack! Light Meteor (III)

Trantor: GravityTales In the end, they couldnt find traces of Long Haochens group of seven. After this event, the demons wouldunch an operation on the scale unprecedented in thest hundred years. In their journey, because their reserves of food and water were sufficient, they did their utmost to not pass through any demon cities, staying in the wilderness.Guided by their map and the direction of the sun, they travelled day and night to rush to the Andro Province. Just as Yue Ye exined before, the more they ventured east, the more rxed the guards were. Yet, the poption increased.. That was because, the eastern coast was a lifeline for the demons. Without the coastal reserves of fish, the demons would have sumbed to the Temple Alliance long ago. The whole journey was without any major hups. When they encountered demons, they would rely on the status of Moon Demon n to conceal themselves and sessfully pass through. The great majority of their time was spent in the wilderness, but their speed was still very fast. But for safety purposes, they didnt make use of their spiritual wings. A whole fifteen dayster, they finally entered the Andromalius Province. The Swamps of Gloom were located on the northern part of the province, so they travelled to the north. Although everything went smoothly, Long Haochen was still feeling uneasy, because Caier didnt show any signs of improvement. On the contrary, she became even more silent and more confused than at the beginning. Only apanying Long Haochen in silence everyday, she would look at things that seemed new and odd to her, causing him to frequently sh her a helpless look. Every time this happened, he would feel difficulty to breath due to the pain. But he didnt show her too much concern either. In the instances he became overly intimate, Caier would be intimidated and avoid him. Though, she didnt fortunately didnt show signs of going against him. Caier seemed untrustful towards everyone, only cing some trust in Long Haochen. Furthermore, she asionally had headaches, and every time this happened, her face would turn very pale, and the spiritual energy in her body would violently fluctuate. Long Haochen asionally inspected Caiers spiritual energy. Although Caier didnt cultivate meticulously, her spiritual energy increased at a fast pace, its total exceeding 8,500 units, as if going straight for the mark of the 10,000 units. Based on this speed, in no less than half a year, she would reach the bottleneck between the sixth and the seventh step. Regarding her current condition, Long Hoachen waspletely helpless. All he could do was to take good care of her and let her recover by herself. But her current plight made Long Haochen feel that she was so far from full health that it seemed it would forever to recoverpletely. Seeing thend on the wilderness, Long Haochen stopped his advance, wrinkling his brows. _No wonder both sides match each others strength this well even though the demons keep attacking. So, they had so many resources in their rear._ The demons greatest weak point was theirck of productive resources. This led to severe shortage in various areas. First, their food then, habitable areas and then their innate potential. These things seemed easy to resolve but, were fraught withplications. Just the shortage of food caused even an overpowered being like Demon God Emperor numerous problems. . On the east of the continent, thend was fertile. Long Haochen saw wide expanses of grass. If such a fertilend was used for cultivation, it would undoubtedly yield great harvest, satiating the hunger of hundreds of thousands of people. Although there were no definite statistics, ording to the evaluation of the Temple Alliance, a quarter of the territory under the Temple alliance produced at least ten times more food every year than the entire demon territory produced in the year. Though, the human poption only a third of the demon poption in total, and this was the reason why demons had to asionally reduce the numbers of their people through war. Lower ranked demons reproduced at an astonishing rate, thus making their issue regarding food even more dire. Captain, are we still far from the swamps? Han Yu asked Long Haochen from nearby. He replied, We are about two hundred more kilometers away. If everything goes well, we will reach our destination tomorrow. However, we have to head for this ce first. Saying this, he pulled out the map and pointed to a dot. This is? Han Yu raised his head in amazement, A demon city? Long Haochen nodded, This is a little town that doesnt even have a name. Everyone should be pretty exhausted from the continuous journey. We will very possibly face a demon god, so its better if everyone recuperates and be in their optimum state. A good battle requires one to sharpen his de first, and not act with too much eagerness. Actually, the Devil Snake Gods stay in the Swamp of Gloom is not a matter of a day or two. After having a day of rest in this little city, it wont be toote to go to the swamps. Listening to Long Haochen, everyone nodded. To them, this young knight was an iparably outstanding captain whose orders they epted willingly and obeyed. This is the prestige he built up unceasingly with his own ability. Lets do something new. Long Haochens eyes sparkled, immediately revealing three radiances shing out of his body. First, a golden glint,ing out from Yating, appeared in front of everyone one else, and then two familiar figures followed, the tall Twelfth Holy Guard and the human looking ice cold blue skeleton known as Eleventh Holy Guard. From somewhere, Long Haochen took out some cloaks and handed them over, hinting them to wear those. These cloaks were ordered specifically for them, and very quickly, Yating and the holy guards concealed themselves in those, and as long as they kept their head low, no one would be able to see their appearance. Lin Xin asked in astonishment, Boss, when did you have these cloaks made? Long Haochen replied with a slight smile, That was during the period of rest we had in Major Jacques City. I asked specialists from the team section to make these cloaks. They shoulde in handy for now. Every one of them gave nced at each other, but very rapidly, Han Yu was the first toe to a realization, Haha, now this makes us a group of ten. Lets see whether these demons can identify us. On their road here, they were embroiled in several small scale battles, this was because, although they were disguised as Moon Demons, since there were seven of them, sometimes the guards asked them to show their elemental attributes, which left them with no choice but to kill them and move forward The reason why Long Haochen had the Eleventh, and the Twelfth Holy Guard and Yating joined the battle, wasnt that precisely to make them a group of ten people? Being the same number as a Demon Hunter Remover squad and with their disguise as Moon Demons, they would very easily be mistaken for Demon Hunter Removers. The three meters size of the Eleventh Holy Guard wasnt anything much. Among demons, this kind of size wasnt a rare thing to see. We are leaving. Everyone went back on the road, their formation also changed. Long Haochen was in the front as before, with Caier following right behind and on the two sides were Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, then Han Yu, with Chen Yinger, Lin Xin, the Eleventh Holy Guard, and Yating in the middle of their formation, followed by the Twelfth Holy Guard standing in the rear, greatly increasing the number of people in the middle of their formation. Such a team far exceeded the capabilities of any ordinary Demon Hunt Squad in magic attacks. Just the Eleventh Holy Guard alone could be regarded as having the strength of two mages of the seventh step. Because of their presence, Long Haochen had enough confidence to go challenge the demon god. Very quickly, they reached the little town indicated by Long Haochen on the map. One could only agree that this detailed map Yue Ye gave Long Haochen was of great utility. Just after entering the town, they were stopped, by demon soldiers. The Andro Province being the territory of the Devil Snake n, these soldiers naturally were his nsmen. Devil Snakes truly had peculiar bodies. They didnt have feet but their upper body was simr to humans, only a lot more slim. As for their lower part, arge tail was present, moving about on the floor. But these footless individuals should never be looked down, they were adept at adjusting their body to move on any terrain. Even in water, they were extremely fast, thus Devil Snakes were assigned to the coastal eastern province. This little team was formed of more than a dozen Devil Snakes and led by a very robust one, whose tail plus back reached a total height of more than four meters. The front end of his tail, standing in front of his upper body, reached a length of more than two meters, and in his hand, he held a trident. Who are you? Take off these cloaks. The robust devil snake shouted, revealing a pair of tri-colored eyes with dark green pupils, radiating with an ominous glint. The trident in his hand aimed at Long Haochens group. Long Haochen raised his head, taking off the cloak covering his face, A Demon Hunt Remover on work. Are you looking for death? Seeing Long Haochens purple eyes, those snakes were also stunned. From Long Haochens handsome appearance and purple eyes, they could already understand a lot. However, this Devil Snake was very prudent, and continued with a restrained tone, Please take out a proof of identity. Demon Hunter Removers have their own Demon Hunter Remover tile. The Central Province gave the order to show it, as there are now some human Demon Hunters pretending to be Moon Demons that infiltrated the demon territory. Wretch! Shouting in anger, Long Haochen lightly waved his hand. Immediately, a terrifying might suddenly exploded from his back, as a breath of darkness filled the air with power. The massive oppressive power made the ten Devil Snakes almost instantly turn pale with fright, stumbling in a great hurry. An ice cold voice sounded out from Long Haochens back, Do you still need more proof? Or do you want thisdy to show you what a Devil Dragon is? If you dare block our Demon Hunter Remover Squad, that is. Sensing the terrible might originating from that Devil Dragon, how could these Devil Snakes dare keep insisting? Withdrawing to the side in panic, they immediately crawled to the ground, not speaking any word as their bodies shuddered. What level of existence were Devil Dragons? Any of the Devil Dragon powerhouse would be a terrible existence they undoubtedly had to bow down to, for the fear that they would make the rulers of the Central Province or the ruler of their whole race angry, their whole n would very possibly get implicated. Her disy of power vanishing, that chill inducing girl coldly asked, And Andromalius? Is he still in the Swamps of Gloom? Chapter 420 - Swamps of Gloom, Land of Death (I)

Chapter 420: Swamps of Gloom, Land of Death (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Yes, Sir demon god is still still there. Therge Devil Snake leading them replied respectfully. Humpf. Get lost. Hearing these words, the Devil Snakes ran full tilt with their thick tails behind their backs. Long Haochen raised his hand, giving a thumbs up, and Chen Yinger replied with a happy smile, My acting skills improved, didnt they? Laughing quietly, Lin Xin remarked, That was quite impressive, Lady Devil Dragon Queen. Deceiving all the demons only by relying on the outward appearance of Moon Demons was impossible. This time, Long Haochens group had been in demon territory not just for a day or two, and naturally had their own means of cover. Chen Yingers Mirror Image Treasure Pig was naturally the instigator of this act. By relying on his powerful copying ability, the trick of slipping through with the release of some darkness aura was tested and approved. Although they also had a mission which consisted of killing a hundred Devil Snakes, the time for it had clearly yet toe. Meanwhile, they confirmed that the information about Andromalius location was true. This little town was bustling, and quite a bit more lively than some cities in the demon territory. On the streets, an endless stream of demons moved about, among which the Devil Snakes were the mostmon. Among the other ns, the overwhelming majority were naturally Dual ded Demons. Perhaps because this ce was rtively small, its entrance wasnt restricted to Dual ded Demons like that of therge cities. As soon as they entered the town, Long Haochens appearance quickly attracted quite a lot of attention. Being the target of curious nces was however not a good thing. Settling this issue was very simple, just by emitting the aura of a Devil Dragon, with Long Haochen following up with some words, whoever questioned them would feel a deadly threat.This way, they became amon subject of terror. The things that could be bought in this little town were rtively limited. To demons, there appeared to be no notion of money, and everything was obtained through bartering. Long Haochen immediately took out some magical beast crystals to exchange them for clean water and dried fish. He also managed to buy some fruits with good luck. Then everyone looked for a rtively clean room to rest. Everyone felt somewhat tired due to their strenuous journey, and turned in early. Caier, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger shared a room. Although her memories were lost, Caier seemed to have be even more rigorous than before regarding the matters between boys and girls, and even Long Haochen, who was most familiar with her, was unable to get too close to her because of being a man. After having a simple meal, the most important thing on everyones mind was to immediately get a hot shower. After a good night of rest, everyone gathered the next day. After a good nights rest, everyone was glowing with health and vigor. Of course, there was not much of a change in Yating and the two Holy Guards. Long Haochen called hisrades to his room, Today, we will be going to the Swamps of Gloom. Just a moment ago, I wanted to buy a detailed map of the swamps, but I had no luck. I asked around about the situation in the Swamps of Gloom, and learned that to the demons from this little town, the Swamps of Gloom are a very terrifying ce. Not only get people stuck in the swamps, it is also full of marsh gas. If one isnt careful, they can get poisoned, and even the Devil Snakes with their strong resistance against poison are unable to resist this venom. Not only that, but in the Swamps of Gloom is the home of some very powerful magical beasts, and even magical beasts of the tenth rank are rumoured to exist there. I think that this is also the reason why the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius didnte out after staying there for so long. The thing he wants to find must be very precious, especially given that the swamps must be a hard ce for him to handle. After we enter the swamps, we will undoubtedly meet great danger. Everyone will stay together, and in case something is amiss, everyone has to listen to my orders, and avoid unnecessary fights, understood? Everyone nodded. Due to their escape route through the Tower of Eternity, they had enormous self-confidence. After all, a situation like the awakening Caier just had, couldnt possibly happen one more time. ording to the growth of Long Haochens cultivation, his control over the Tower of Eternity also continuously kept increasing, which helped improve the speed and number of people he could teleport. Boss, then when will we act? Sima Xian asked. Long Haochen replied, No rush. The Swamps of Gloom arent far from here, and noon is when the level of marsh gas is the lowest. We will wait for this time, when a part of the swamps gets melted by the sunshine, to enter. Han Yu, Lin Xin, the two of you will form a team. Sima, you and me will be a team. We are going back to gather more information about the situation in the Swamps of Gloom. Even if we only learn a bit, it will be better than nothing. We will all return to the hotel an hourter, before setting off to head to the Swamps of Gloom. Yuanyuan, Yinger, you two will be looking after Caier. The two girls nodded, and Long Haochen also left the two holy guards behind. The four men left the hotel, and made discreet inquiries in the town. An hour passed very quickly. After Long Haochen group returned back to the hotel, they summarized the news they got altogether. Useful information regarding the actual situation inside the Swamps of Gloom was sparse and hard to get, as this was a very dangerous ce where the survival rate of the demons was not high. Thus, the Swamps of Gloom gained the namend of death. Even by relying on their advantage of maneuverability on any terrain, the Devil Snake n demons didnt enter it recklessly. Everyone put their things in order, and they departed under Long Haochens lead. Today, the weather was pretty good. The sun was shining brightly, but within the borders of the demon territory, even on a clear and bright day, birds were rarely seen, because all the birds and flying magical beasts had been eaten by demons over the past thousands years. How could there be any living animals left? Upon arriving, they noticed that the air turned a lot more moist than on open ground, and that the swamps werent that huge. ording to the map, if they kept going east, they would reach the coast after less than 250 km. There, many demons were in charge of fishing. ording to the information from the demons, the coastal area was already sparse of fish due to extensive hunting by the demons. Very often, they had no choice but to hunt other creatures from the ocean to serve as food for them. To guarantee the capture of some amount of fish, even some demons of the ninth step joined the hunters ranks. Perhaps it was because thisnd of death called Swamps of Gloom was excessively terrifying, but the closer they got, they encountered less and less demons. While everyone traveled at full speed, soon an hour passed and noon arrived. The air turned more and more humid, and the ground started to gradually soften. asionally, some rotten smell assaulted their noses. They were in the Swamps of Gloom. After walking for half an hour, they finally reached their destination. However, everyone couldnt help but show different expressions. Just by looking from a distance, they could all sense the terror of thisnd of death. Afar, arge expanse of green fog covered this massive area. This green fog seemed as if it was undisturbed since time immemorial, even when bathed in the rays of sunlight, it didnt appear to be affected in the slightest. One could clearly see that the closer they got to the fog, the deeper its color was. When reaching the edge of that fog, the ground turned ck, and asionally, some muddish bubbles ascended from wet patches. They emitted strange smells along with the moisture sustaining the fog. The size of the Swamps of Gloom was basically indistinct, and when Long Haochen especially rose to the sky after releasing his spiritual wings, he found out to his astonishment that the closer they got to the fog, the deeper its color. It increased in density until reaching the depths of the Swamps of Gloom, where its color was dark green. As for the size of these swamps, he was unable to estimate it, because of the the excessive concentration of the fog, his line of sight was obstructed. Returning to the ground, Long Haochen gathered hisrades, and told them in a deep voice, It looks like these Swamps of Gloom are even harder to handle than we imagined. Everyone take extra care when you act. When inside, our visibility will very possibly be affected to some extent, so dont get lost, and stay close to me. I will use light magic to disperse the fog. If we get attacked, stay close to me as much as possible. We will first be taking a look at the edge of the swamps, and then attempt to enter. Han Yu responded, Captain, how about letting me disperse the fog? As the core of the team, letting you preserve your strength should be our priority. Long Haochen shook his head, giving the reply, Dont worry. I have already broken through to the seventh step and opened three spiritual cavities. The recovery speed of my spiritual energy is now a lot faster than yours. This is really nothing. Lets go now. The group of seven apanied by the two holy guards and Yating followed, advancing to the edge of the swamps rapidly. The closer they got to the Swamps of Gloom, the softer the ground under their feet became. When entering its edge, the surface under their feet felt as if they moved on quicksand. At that time, the Eleventh Holy Guard disyed his great utility. Releasing cold energy on the ground with no difficulty, he instantly turned the water in the swamps to ice, which could bear the weight of everyone. Meanwhile, a dark golden light spread from Long Haochens body, enveloping the whole group. That was the light spell of the third step, Holy Mantle. The reason why he used Holy Mantle instead of Divine Light Mantle was that the defensive strength of the former was a lot greater, and it also possessed healing and preserving effects. Furthermore, Long Haochen added hisprehension of the technique Ripples of Light, and therefore, didnt only absorb a lot more light essence, but also raised its defensive strength to a spell at the fourth step. As long as they didnt encounter an extremely powerful attack, his Holy Mantle provided some defense. Atop of this, the greatest benefit of Holy Mantle was that the area covered by this pell could be changed depending on the amount of spiritual energy expended. The visibility inside the swamps was no good, so Long Haochen naturally made his Holy Mantle a bit bigger. With the increase of his internal spiritual energy above 10,000 units, and two more spiritual cavities, in the space between his eyebrows and his underbelly, the concentration of spiritual energy in these cavities started to increase. Now, Long Haochens cultivation speed became a lot faster than at the time he was still at the sixth step. His growth in strength even shocked himself. In only half a month, his spiritual energy was already nearing 11,000 units. Chapter 421 - Swamps of Gloom, Land of Death (II)

Chapter 421: Swamps of Gloom, Land of Death (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Under the push of the Holy Mantle, the poisonous fog was pushed aside, and although the air was still muddy, at least the poison was unable to prate the insides of the Holy Mantle. If this had been just an ordinary Holy Mantle, some of the corrosive effect of the poison would still have affected it, but the Ripples of Light supplementing his Holy Mantle made it different. Through the constant vibrations, the poison was pushed away, making it unable to adhere onto the surface of the barrier. Sensing the consumption of his spiritual energy, Long Haochen noticed that his consumption was far lower than his recovery rate. Nodding to hisrades, he took the lead, walking deeper into the Swamps of Gloom with the Glorious Holy Shield and the Rippling Light in his hands. The control of the Eleventh Holy Guard over ice magic was very skillful. As everyone walked forward, the area he walked past stayed solid for some time, and only slowly regained its original swamp characteristics. With the assistance of Long Haochens Holy Mantle, the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad entered the swamps smoothly. Inside, the swamp was extremely dark, and the sunlight had a good deal of difficulty to reach through the fog. After walking for roughly a hundred meters, Long Haochen stopped his steps, looking around. The swamp contained arge amount of nts, mostly vines taking root inside the boggy ground. The color of these vines was very simr to the poisonous marsh gas. Han Yu, if we get ambushed and my Holy Mantle is broken, create another Holy Mantle to protect everyone. At that time, please remember to close your eyes and try to avoid breathing in any of the poison. Yes. Han Yu consented. Although this poison would probably not be that harmful for powerhouses of the sixth step like them, it was better to be cautious. A careful sail would make a shipst for ten thousand years. Right when Long Haochen was speaking, his eyes suddenly dted, and his gaze shot forward, Yating immediately sensed his intent, and aimed a white glow in that direction. With a low roar, a massive figure charged towards Long Haochen. The fog was so dense that it was only when this enemy shed against the Holy Mantle that everyone could see its appearance. It was a huge lizard, entirely dark golden in color, with pus all over its skin, and a pair of very sinister dark green colored eyes. Opening its mouth, it aimed its snarling teeth at Long Haochen. Long Haochens response was extremely fast. As the outwards Holy Mantle disappeared abruptly, the Glorious Holy Shield was lit in white. This was a result of the release of the Holy Sword Technique and a Shield Bash, weing that rushing lizard. With a stuffy bang sound, the lizard fell over, but Long Haochen didnt move a single step. The Rippling Light in his right hand just performed a lightning-fast cut, drawing a graceful arc of light in midair, executing a Light Thronbined with Holy Fire, violently cutting the neck of that lizard. With a _Pop_ , blood oozed and that lizards head separated from its body. Its blood was yellow green, and had a nauseating look. After being cut to death, his corpse slowly sank into the muddy swamp, producing a series of bubbles. Lin Xin slipped out a remark in a low voice, Couldnt that have been a rtive of Haoyue? Wang Yuanyuan gave him a nk stare, If you have such remarks, you should directly tell them to Haoyue. Long Haochen dered, This should be a magical beast of the fifth rank, and of the poisonous type. I guess some of the creatures from the swamps mutated due to their environment. For another knight, even at the seventh step of cultivation, Light Thorn shouldnt be able to instantly kill a magical beast of the fifth rank, equivalent to a powerhouse of the fourth step. But Long Haochens Light Thorn contained Ripples of Light and Holy Fire, with the addition of the property of doubling the attack power from Rippling Light. With this instant kill blow, he determined the strength of this lizard in the shortest time. Master, I can make the surroundings cleaner. The Eleventh Holy Guards low voice sounded out. Long Haochen gave him a surprised look, and nodded in response, Okay. However, you have to save your spiritual energy as much as possible. The Eleventh Holy Guard replied, The water essence here is dense, so it wont consume much energy. Saying that, he waved the staff in his hand, and with a deep and low chant, a dark blue colored radiance spread outwards. This Eleventh Holy Guardunched spells faster than Long Haochen had ever seen anyone cast spells. Along with the release of that dark blue radiance came some rustling sounds in the air, and a bizarre scene unfolded. The surrounding poisonous fog actually thinned out at extreme speed, and instantly, the area within fifty meters diameter around became very clear. The poisonous fog was fundamentally made of a mixture of vapor and poison, and when the Eleventh Holy Guard froze the water in the air, he naturally cleared the poison as well. Long Haochen also found out that the ice cones that fell to the ground decreased the surrounding temperature ordingly, which reduced the Eleventh Holy Guards output of spiritual energy. This acuity was truly admirable. Since Long Haochen took notice of it, Lin Xin also did. As a mage, he always believed his own control over magic to be pretty good. Butpared to the Eleventh Holy Guard, he was still inferior! Hence, he firmly drew a step back until he stood behind the Eleventh Holy Guard, and silently watched and sensed all his movements, grasping his traits as a mage. Yating also became aware of that, having a self-awareness of her own. Although her development mostly originated from Long Haochens mental strength, her learning ability was in no way weak. Yating reached the conclusion that on the aspect of elemental purity, she should be far above this Eleventh Holy Guard, and since Long Haochen broke through to the seventh step, the same went for her. One of the benefits from the fusion of spiritual stoves that urred in the Illusory Paradise was that it permitted her to gain a state of apletely matured spiritual stove. In some sense, she even became a real advanced fairy, with the only difference being that her life was part of Long Haochens. However, on the aspects of control and use of her magic power, Yating found out that she was far inferior to this skeletal Eleventh Holy Guard. Be it in the theoretical aspect or in practical control, the gap between the two of them was like night and day. The Eleventh Holy Guard didnt realize their scrutiny. He only did his duty, and returned to silence again afterpleting his magic. Long Haochen turned his head to give a thumbs up to this Eleventh Holy Guard, and then continued his advance, leading the group. With the burst of magic power from the Eleventh Holy Guard, their visibility increased greatly, and the oppressive power they felt after entering the Swamps of Gloom weakened. The eyes were a window to the soul. Other senses could temporarily take over the job of ones eyes, but almost everyone would unconsciously only believe what they saw. But if confronted with something unseen by the eyes, they would then very easily be nervous. Of course, this wasnt the case for Caier before the loss of her memories. The more they advanced, the heavier the fog surrounding them became. The falling ice cones also started to grow in number, but contrary to the expectations, the Eleventh Holy Guards control over the surroundings didnt weaken. The nts that surrounded them greatly varied, not only being limited to vines anymore. Some special flowers and fruits appeared, and the path started to be rugged. urately speaking, there was no path after entering the Swamps of Gloom, and the path only consisted of the way Long Haochen made through. The surrounding vines were especially tough, needing at least two or three Light Thorns reinforced by Ripples of Light to cut through. This job was again undertaken by Long Haochen himself on his own behest, with the others standing guard. In such a dangerous ce nothing was more important than personal safety. Caier silently followed at Long Haochens back. Seeing this very young man continuously waving his sword, to open up a path for hisrades, the fear in her eyes disappeared gradually. That feeling of safety from being protected by another reappeared, and some indescriptible things seemed to arise in her. asionally, her heart ached and her head hurt as if trying to remember about the existence of this man. Slowly, her trust in Long Haochen was increasing, and her mood wasnt as terrible as when she woke up after losing her memories. At least, she didnt feel any threat from those apanying her. Although she became amnesic, Caiers intelligence was still intact. She clearly sensed that if, after losing her memories, these people werent present by her side, then she would be really miserable. It was pretty good that they were at her side. Right as Caier was letting her thoughts run wild, Long Haochen suddenly stopped his advance, Something feels wrong. He could sense all the surroundings in his mind, but couldnt find out what was amiss. However, this feeling was growing more and more intense, and seemed a bit like before, when they had been encircled by the six Demon Hunter Remover squads, though it didnt feel as intense. This was an instinctive sense of danger. Long Haochens expression suddenly became severe, and he gave a loud shout, Caier, be careful! Suddenly drawing back, his wide back bumped into Caier. Although Caier was amnesic, her battle instincts were still present. When Long Haochen hit her so suddenly, her right hand was unconsciously pushed onto his back. Borrowing force from that push, she directly hit the border of the Holy Mantle. Just as she was full of shock, a massive head came out from the swamps below, striking Long Haochen from the ground, and knocking him back. After that massive head pushed him away, it followed him in the air, and opened its mouth wide, showing with a two meters wide gap. It was a dark green huge snake, whose muddy part was over fifteen meters long, and as thick as a water jar. The scene of its massive mouth opening was enough to give a terrifying shock to anyone. Its appearance was without any warning, and no one felt its presence. It was just too sudden. With a golden glint from Long Haochens body, the four spiritual wings abruptly propelled him up. Although the Holy Mantle was broken, the Holy Fire ascending from him got rid of the surrounding poison with no difficulty. Chapter 422 - Swamps of Gloom, Land of Death (III)

Chapter 422: Swamps of Gloom, Land of Death (III)

Trantor: GravityTales With the help of his spiritual wings, he naturally didnt let that massive snake swallow him. His body slowly came to a stop in the air, performing a flip followed with a clever p of wing to flip sideways to the left, and crossing the massive head of that snake. The gigantic body of that massive snake then dropped to the ground. However,ing out was simple, returning wouldnt be so easy. After a brief period of shock, everyone from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad attacked. Having already fought together for a long time, they remained unmoved by the sudden attack. The mages rapidly drew back, creating some distance from the gigantic snake, and in close quarters, Han Yu didnt immediately went to the offense, but raised his Wild Scarlet Blood sword, defending the mages. In the meanwhile, the other close quarter warriors all aiming their attacks against the gigantic snake. Wang Yuanyuan was the closest, and her massive silver shield blew brazenly, chopping its sharp end fiercely against that gigantic snake. The offensive power from the Divine Soul Shield was great as always, and although she didnt embed all her spatial crystals, Wang Yuanyuans current strength was enough to insert two of her spatial crystals in the Divine Soul Shield from beginning to end without too great of a consumption. Unfortunately, the gigantic snake also had an astonishing defense, and its skin was extremely thick, to the extent that the Divine Soul Shield didnt get deeper than a sixth of meter into its skin, before being forced out by the strong muscles of the snake. Nheless, it still let out some dark green colored juice. Wang Yuanyuans attack was only the beginning, and was followed by a sh from Sima Xians huge metallic ball, striking the body of the gigantic snake, and immediately producing a violent bang. The gigantic snake that was shot high in the sky, let out a mournful cry from its immense mouth. Although Sima Xian didnt trigger the power of the Godly Purple Thunder Spiritual Stove, the destructive power of his Divine Soul Shield was sot great, it could rank amongst the best of the Legendary Equipment. Smash, Crush, and Triple st. Bang, bang bang. With three violent exploding sounds, that massive gigantic snake was bombarded sideways, lying at a crooked angle, lying in the center of the explosion, great damage was inflicted on the snake. A fiery red colored sh passed, and the Asura Strike from the Twelfth Holy Guard cut fiercely into wound caused by Sima Xian which was over one meter. Lin Xins Fire Curse Technique and the Ice Spear of the Eleventh Holy Guard were shot out almost at the same time, and the gap in magic control was once again visible. These two spells were fired almost simultaneously, but Lin Xins Fire Curse was slightly slower. Right after being hit by the Ice Spear from the Eleventh Holy Guard, the gigantic snake suddenly came to a standstill, before being bombarded with Fire Curse. The massive power gave the snake another shock, substantially increasing the wounds on its body. Meanwhile, a white glownded noiselessly on that immense snake, fired from Yatings Saint Spiritual Stove, or rather should we say Long Haochens. All the killing intent of that immense snake was then focused on Long Haochen alone. Right at this time, a ringing voice could suddenly be heard, Youre looking for death. Immediately, everyone felt a clear chill pass through their backs, and the massive ughter aura actually even caused the poisonous marsh gas to disperse rapidly, as if cowering in fright, with a sparkling and translucent grey sh. The gigantic snake which was in a free fall abruptly came to a standstill, and right then, a melodious shattering sound was heard in the air. Following which, dark green liquid gushed out in all directions. That thick snake was actually cut off right on the middle just like that. In fact, even with everyone attacking, its body was only wounded and in this process, everyone realized the astonishing defense of this gigantic snake. But right now, it was cut brazenly in two. Just what tyrannical attack was needed to aplish that?! At some time, Caiers eyes was filled with coldness. Just like before her state of amnesia, the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand appeared in her hand, as if being one with the essence of the god of death. A terrible mental pressure was inflicted on everyone present, who felt an intense chill in the air. No one expect that Caier that they were guarding, would choose this time to break out. A dazzling golden barrier was lit up this time, enveloping everyone inside, and the sshing snake blood was blocked, with the help of Han Yus Holy Mantle. Of course, Long Haochen saw all this. His heart was immediately filled with great ecstasy. _Caier recovered?_ However, he couldnt keep having these thoughts the next instant. Although the gigantic snake was chopped in half, its attack still didnt stop, as one saying goes, that a centipede dies but never falls down. Moreover, this gigantic snake already lived for who knows how many years in the Swamps of Gloom. Being cut, and furthermore affected with the terrible ughter aura emitted from the Sickle of the God of Death, its body was terribly damaged. However, this wasnt enough to take its life; and actually, as long as it remained in the swamps, this beast would have the opportunity to recover if given time. But under the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove, its was only able to target be Long Haochen, and the snake was naturally full of a bitter hate toward this human. Fiercely opening its wide mouth, a dark green colored ball flew towards Long Haochen. Right when this ball of light came out, Long Haochen could sense immense danger. The Brilliant Holy Shield in his hand immediately moved,unching Holy Shield Technique and Shield Wall, two great defensive spellunched together. And the instant that ball of light reached him, his Glorious Holy Shield was positioned in front of his chest,ing to a standstill: Divine Obstruction. But one thing should never be forgotten: Long Haochen still had Yating. After arriving on Long Haochens back, Yating abruptly shed with a chain of starry lights,ing out from her staff. Instantly condensing into the shape of a spear, it took the lead to strike that dark green ball. Brilliant Stars Spear. Since the instant right after she released the Saint Spiritual Stove just before, Yating was chanting this incantation. Through the effects of Pull of the Saint Spiritual Stove, she appeared right beside Long Haochen, and immediately fired Brilliant Stars Spear. With a loud bang, that dark green ball came to a standstill, and along with innumerable golden starlight that dispersed, the Brilliant Stars Spear was pushed away. However, that gigantic snakes situation wasnt good either, and its falling body let out a miserable shriek. _Bang._ The external defense of Holy Shield Technique and Shield Wall broke, and the Glorious Holy Shield finally ended up bombarded. Long Haochen felt the surge of an odd power in him, and in spite of his cultivation plus the mystical defense from Divine Obstruction, he still ended up knocked behind. Letting out a stuffy sound, he had arge gap appear in the Glorious Holy Shield, with also a crack on its core. This piece of equipment of Glorious Tier was now seriously damaged, and although recovery was still possible, this was not doable simply with the magic of self-recovery apanying the shield, and needed to find a greatmaster in smithing who would be able to restore it back. After that dark green ball sted past Long Haochen, it went back straight in therge mouth of the gigantic snake, as if possessing a life of its own. However, right this time, the battle strength of the gigantic snake plummeted because of how its body was cut down. A zing figure abruptly rose, and a pair of spiritual wings condensed out of mes appeared in a sh to speed it up. The Twelfth Holy Guard almost took a blink of an eye to appear above the mouth of that gigantic snake, immediately letting the de in his hand burst out with the light of Asura, this time for Asura Thrust? It aimed right at the dark green radiance. The Eleventh and the Twelfth Holy Guards matched with an extreme perfection. An immense iceball followed, tracing a parabolic arc close to perfect, and uratelynding in the month of that snake. The others naturally wouldnt stay idle, and in this short while, Wang Yuanyuan added another two spatial crystals in her Divine Soul Shield. She naturally could tell out what these two guards were doing, and wasnt going to let the snake swallow back its dark golden ball. Hence her Space Splitting Saut was aimed right on the side of the snakes cheek. Sima Xian and Lin Xins attacks also came from the back. Fire Curse reappeared and entered inside of the gigantic snake from its ruptured part, and Sima Xians Gigantic Ball of Light followed closely, with a purple electric light on it. In fact, at the current time, Long Haochen and hisrades already had the actual strength of a king grade Demon Hunt Squad.With abined assault at fullpower, except from Han Yu and Chen Yinger who had yet to act, the others all made all out attacks, release a destructive power that one might well imagine. The crucial point was their very good mutual understanding,bining their strengths not as simply as additions, but to an even greater extent. The Asura Thrust from the Twelfth Holy Guard and that dark green ball violently shed with each other, and the darkened ball flew more than a dozen meter afar. However, he was shot back by the propelling power, standing straight with a good difficulty. And the gigantic ball of light fired by the Eleventh Holy Guard was already in the mouth of that snake. The feeling that a living creature with its mouth opened towards the sky, would have when engulfing arge ice ball full of spikes, was as one might well imagine. And right at this time, Wang Yuanyuans Space Splitting Saut, and Lin Xin and Sima Xians attacks from the rear reached this gigantic snake. The whole body of the gigantic snake sshed out by the effects of the Space Splitting Saut, naturally unable to engulf back that dark green ball of light. Afterwards, with a loud bang, another three meters long piece of its body was cut, and scorched ck. Its massive body twitched and finally fell on the swamps. However, the swamps didnt turn out moist and muddy, but a hard and frozennd full of ice-cold. Afterpleting his Ice Ball, the Eleventh Holy Guard used his next spell onto the ground, Icebound Land! This powerful spell of the seventh step froze the area of swamps onto close to a square kilometer, and wasnt close to dissolve that soon. After releasing this spell, the Eleventh Holy Guard finally looked close to exhaustion. Chapter 423 - Devil Flower (I)

Chapter 423: Devil Flower (I)

Yatings staff was pointed forward, letting out a series of thread-like streams of light in the air, twining around that dark green ball of light sent flying by the Twelfth Holy Guard, binding it inside. However, that dark green ball of light was not easy to capture, and narrowly struggled free of those intertwining golden threads. For a thorough binding, Long Haochen put his hand on Yatings back, reinforcing her with his own spiritual energy, to finally cage it. The following process was simple. Unable to submerge into the swamps, the already seriously wounded gigantic snake that got that dark green ball of light stolen could only end up dropping dead from everyones attacks. Caier didnt move, only holding that massive Sickle of the God of Death in her hand, and even the others didnt dare approach her, for fear that this thing could cut anything in two. Caier was visibly at a loss, slowly raising her head to look at Long Haochen in the air. If Long Haochen carefully looked at her current expression, he would discover that in the depths of her eyes, some very cautiously buried things started to burst forth. An image could perhaps be faked, but the truth couldnt. If not for that shove from Long Haochen, the one bearing the attack of the gigantic snake would have been her. And when he shoved her, he didnt have the slightest hesitation, looking full of resolve. Caiers power of observation was also great, moreover now that she also awakened as a gods chosen one. As such, she could clearly see that the instant Long Haochen shoved her and was pushed by the snake in the air, his first move was to give her a nce. His expression was very gentle, as if what he did was nothing out of ordinary. Seeing that she was out of harms way from the gigantic snake, his eyes revealed a relieved expression. If not for her constitution as a gods chosen one, Caier would basically not have seen all those things, but after having clearly seen these, some barriers inside of her began to melt, and she started to believe in what Long Haochen told her previously a bit more. One could only admit that this gigantic snake was very hard to defeat. Only after being ganged on by the whole group for nearly a quarter of an hour did it die. On its body, there seemed to be no trace of a fatal wound, only, at the time it genuinely died, it appeared almost totally dismembered. Long Haochen and Yating alreadynded back on the ground, giving a surprised look towards Caier. The fact that Caier intervened was already a good sign. Giving her a thumbs up, he advanced towards that gigantic snake. Does anyone recognize this magical beast? Long Haochen asked hisrades. Everyone was at a loss for words. That was the first time they encountered such a massive reptilian magical beast. Wang Yuanyuan muttered irresolutely, That should be a magical beast of the ninth rank, equivalent to one of our human powerhouses of the eighth step. Otherwise, it wouldnt have been so hard to handle. Nheless, it looks like it doesnt have a lot of different abilities. Except from controlling that ball of light, all it seems to have is a tough physique. Seeing it, it seems that its main attacking method consists on attacking with its body. It should have been delighted to see us here. Han Yu frowned, Since we already encountered such difficulty, its no wonder that this ce is called Land of Death. If it encountered a lone person, Im afraid that this beast wouldnt even feel the slightest appeasement of its hunger. I just dont know what kind of magical beast that is. Its called a Forest Boa, and is one of the strongest snake type magical beast in the continent. The most powerful Forest Boa Kings are magical beasts of the tenth step, and are very resilient. They mostly exist in swamps and poisonous areas, and their attack power is very great. And they are expert at swallowing enemies. That dark green ball should be its cultivated internal pill serving as magical core The Twelfth Holy Guard spoke with a firm and vigorous voice, and his words resounded. However, he only gave a simple introduction before bing silent. Long Haochen looked at the internal pill in Yatings hands, only to see a fist-sized dark green crystal. However, it seemed very soft in the surface, while a green glint was faintly discernible inside. Twelfth Holy Guard, what uses does this internal pill have? Long Haochen asked. The Twelfth Holy Guard replied respectfully, Reporting to master, a Forest Boa internal pill can reinforce human physique, substantially increasing external spiritual energy. Thats a rarely seen good thing. With this internal pill, the marsh gas in here shouldnt be able to affect us any further. Also, the Snake Gall from a Forest Boa has great utility, it can also be used to vastly increase ones external spiritual energy. Its effects are most potent whenbined with internal pills. This way, the double reinforcement grants great benefits to the body. I seem to have read such a recipe in an ancient book. Lin Xin suddenly told, his eyes suddenly beaming with excitement, Right, I just thought of it. Thats the Forest Boa Training Pill, making use of the internal pill along with the Snake Gall, plus nine petals of Dark Chrysanthemum, three Immortal Ice Fruits, and a dozen more drug ingredients.The Forest Boa Training Pill provides great utility by boosting ones cultivation, removing impurities in the body, increasing lifespan and increasing external spiritual energy are the effects. Regarding these points, from the point of view of an alchemist, I deem the boost of the external spiritual energy as secondarypared to the other effects. Everyone present was quite intelligent, Lin Xins simple description immediately made them realize a lot of things. To any vocation, through continuous cultivation, the body will be nurtured with spiritual energy, but everyone has different body condition. But spiritual energy can only nurture ones body, notpletely remodel it. With the increase of ones cultivation, the toughness of his body will increase, but simrly, some impurities will also get piled up. Only after breaking through the ninth step of cultivation will the spiritual energy take the role of gradually removing these impurities. For this reason, lifespan of powerhouses of the ninth step far surpass ordinary people. If this Forest Boa Training Pill can effectively remove the impurities in the body, and boost cultivation as a whole, then it will without a doubt develop the potential of the user by a wide extent. This can be seen as far more useful than a direct increase of the external spiritual energy. Thus, when hearing Lin Xins words, everyone revealed a pleasantly surprised look. Han Yu remarked, Since this kind of pill is of such utility, how is it that we never heard of it before? Lin Xin shrugged his shoulders, Thats because Forest Boas are a kind of magical beasts that have long since been extinct ording to the records! Even the methods of making the Forest Boa Training Pill is something I only saw in a precious ancient book. Theres nothing strange about the fact you havent heard of it before. Long Haochen raised the question, Do you still remember about the specific method to make this pill and the quantity produced? After pondering, Lin Xin replied, Fundamentally speaking, an ordinary thick internal pill and a gall should permit to make eight to twelve Forest Boa Training Pills. Topletely remove the impurities in the whole body, at least eight pills are needed to be taken. As for the methods to make this pill, they arent very difficult, the key point being to find the material. This time, our luck is quite good. Of course, if we can kill a Forest Boa King, it wont be the same. The internal pill and gall from a Forest Boa King are such that only two are enough for one person to clean impurities of the whole body. And its internal pill and gall can make a far greater quantity of pills than ordinary Forest Boas. Going through the Forest Boa Training Pills enables topletely wash off ones body of all impurities and to increase fundamental cultivation, which is desirable for anyone at the eighth step, making it a lot easier to pass the bottleneck of the ninth step than the norm. Chen Yinger shot him a nce, Arent you deluded has-drugs-bro? Forest Boa Kings are magical beasts of the tenth rank! Thats like a powerhouse of the ninth step from our side. Since an ordinary one was already so hard to handle, theres nothing to say about a Forest Boa King. You should rather pray that we wont encounter one. Lin Xin shrugged his shoulders, I was just telling you what I know without much thought. Long Haochen instructed, Lin Xin, you will be responsible for conserving it appropriately. Lets keep going forward, and see whether we can run into more Forest Boas. However, everyone will have to be careful. These Forest Boas are existences of great power hidden in these swamp, and we will need to get in a range of three meters to detect their existence. Given the rewards obtained by Forest Boas, if they killed a sufficient amount, even if they couldntplete the mission of killing Devil Snakes, the trip will still be worthwhile. This was the so-called increase of the chances with the increase of the danger. Wasnt thisnd of death a perfect example of this? Long Haochen didnt immediately bring hisrades to keep advancing, but stopped on a frozennd to get rest. This let Lin Xin the time to recover the snake gall spreading out soft fluctuations of spiritual energy in a sack, and to put the internal pill in a simr sack. With the assistance of this internal pill, the surrounding poisonous marsh gas indeed drifted away, and didnt surround them. This was the natural ability of Forest Boa, which was convenient for them. However, the effects of an internal pill were still limited, and the range of dispersion was around a diameter of thirty meters. This was still inferior to the ice mists ability dispersed by the Eleventh Holy Guard. The reason why Long Haochen chose to rest was mainly for the Eleventh Holy Guard to recover spiritual energy. In their previous skirmish, it could be said that the Eleventh had a very important role. Without him, perhaps they wouldnt have prevented the escape of this Forest Boa. And in these swamps, the utility of the Eleventh Holy Guard wasnt only limited to that. After resting for about half an hour, the trip resumed. With the dispersion of the poison by the internal pill, a great deal of the spiritual energy of the Eleventh Holy Guard was naturally economized. His only need became to congeal the ground. Han Yu also summoned his mount, Demonic Eye Leader, as this was a rarely seen magical beast of mental attribute, with a powerful perception. And furthermore, along with its evolution, it gained another new ability, which strengthened ones perception. By casting it on Long Haochen, his originally great perception was doubled. The deeper they dove into the swamps, the more their path became rugged. A few more Swamp Lizards appeared. These magical beast of the fourth or fifth rank were no threat for them, but their advancing speed decreased because the vegetation in the swamps was growing in number. Long Haochens Rippling Light kept thrusting without pause at this point. Chapter 424 - Devil Flower (II)

Chapter 424: Devil Flower (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Inparison, the Rippling Light was more efficient for these circumstances than the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Thetter was admittedly more powerful, but its use also came with an immense consumption of spiritual energy. Using it to cut through vines to open up a path would be simply like swinging a greatsword to kill chickens. After advancing for another quarter of an hour, the vegetation suddenly became sparse, and the swamps seemed deeper. Long Haochen stopped his advance, wrinkling his brows. The situation before his eyes wasnt normal. Having gone to the Illusory Paradise before, he understood that nts are also living beings, despite not knowing much regarding the nature. The nts that could exist here were visibly adapted to this environment since long ago. But the swamps under his feet werent any different, yet the vegetation suddenly reduced in number. This could only mean one thing, that there existed something that threatened the growth of these nts in this ce. Seeing Long Haochen stopping his advance, the others immediately gathered in a close formation, concentrating their attention on the surroundings. With some curiosity, Caier asked the nearby Long Haochen, Why arent we advancing? Long Haochen gave her a curious look. Over these past few days, when he wouldnt take the initiative to speak to her, she would normally not be the one to start a conversation. Andpared to before, he discovered to his shock that the current gaze of Caier was actually a lot gentler. Knowing her very well, Long Haochen could sense every little change in her. Deep inside, he came to the conclusion that perhaps it could be that after theunch of her previous attack, she recovered some traces of memories? But he didnt expect that Caiers change was actually noting from her memories but because of his concern when protecting her. The situation is a bit odd. The environment here changed too greatly. There should be some existence that threatened the vegetation in the swamps. When discussing with Caier, Long Haochen spread his perception as far away as possible, to sense ces hidden from his eyes. There seems to be more vegetation ahead. Stay careful everyone, and be on high alert. Dering this, Long Haochen immediately recovered the Glorious Holy Shield, and took the Rippling Light in his left hand. With a sh of brilliant light, the Aria of the Goddess of Light appeared. Because it was damaged seriously in the previous battle against the Forest Boa, the Glorious Holy Shield was severely battered, and was naturally nowhere as good as opting for the dual sword Discipline Knight style. Proceeding forward for about a hundred meters, Long Haochens perception was certainly verified, and some vegetation started to appear again. However, it waspletely different from all the vegetation they encountered before. There were no vines, only trees and very huge flowers. The ground looked really odd. Every tree trunk was separated from one another by a distance of at least five meters, making them very thinly spread. Wide expanses of leaves sprouted from these, and it reached up to five meters length from the root, with a diameter of at least a third of a meter. The most unusual thing was their summit, consisting on an immense flower bud, thick enough to wrap two people around. The flower buds were tightly packed, and as far as the eye could see, not even one flower was blooming. Their massive build slightly swayed due to the poisonous marsh gas. When arriving here, everyone had a simr feeling. That was a feeling of calm: this ce was indeed too calm. There was no sound, and the only kind of vegetation present were these flower buds. Even the wind swaying by their bodies didnt let out the slightest sound. In their way here, they also encountered no attack from any magical beast. When a ce is too quiet, it would give a feeling of deathly stillness. That was exactly what Long Haochens group was feeling. All of you, stay here for now. Han Yu, you will take over my ce; I will be scouting ahead. Long Haochen dered in deep voice. In this strange situation, he decided to rather scout by himself. Theserge flowers were certainly strange, it was just that they had still yet to show the reason why. Waving the four spiritual wings at his back, he let out a soft holy fire. At this time, he couldnt help but reminisce Bai Xiaomo from the time of the Demon Hunt Squad Selection. nts were not necessarily all peaceful! At that time, didnt Bai Xiaomo inflict Yang Wenzhao quite a loss through the use of nts? Stepping forward, Long Haochen only a few dozens meters away, his vision sharpening in a split second. Currently, he was twenty meters away from therge flowers, as he suddenly felt an instinctive sense of danger. However, he didnt stop his advance, instead elerating, until arriving in front of therge flower standing in thest position of the row. Then, when he was five meters from that flower, a change suddenly urred. The closest flower to Long Haochen suddenly swayed, and immediately, its thick stolon abruptly descended. Thatrge flower smashing straight at Long Haochen. Along with an odd yell, that massive flower bud abruptly opened up, just like an immense hare lip, aiming its bite right at Long Haochen. After opening up, this flower bud was just too huge. It was without a doubt sufficient to engulf Long Haochen in a gulp. And right when opening up, that flower revealed its sinister true form. It had three huge blood colored petals, and had sharp teeth all over them. These sharp teeth had a sharp front end, were slightly curved behind, and appeared very thick. Just like a sharp hook, in case one was bitten by such a set of teeth, struggling free wouldnt be an easy thing. The aspect that was enough to make one feel drenched all over, was that after opening its mouth, its central area revealed a malevolent sly face, from where that abrupt yell echoed. Long Haochen made his preparations to act since long ago, and the instant thatrge flower smashed at him, he was already moving up. With the roar of a dragon, his two swords fluttering in the wind, he spiralled and soared up astonishingly. That was Ascending Dragon Strike. A gaudy brilliant light reflected the center of Long Haochens body, and with the appearance of a soaring golden dragon, he struck therge flower. _Puff._ A dark red liquid dispersed in all directions, and Long Haochen took the shape of a brilliant light in the sky, retreating towards hisrades. Right at the same time he came across thisrge flower, the few surrounding flowers also tried to bite at him, their rhizome swelling up suddenly. Immediately, the air was filled with mournful shouts. Theserge flowers were considerably powerful, and one could clearly see that they had basically no fear of the holy fire emitted by Long Haochen. Right when that bigger one shed against Long Haochens Ascending Dragon Cry, it only lost arge petal, and didnt smash to pieces at all. Long Haochens Ascending Dragon Strike collided directly against those sharp teeth, and actually produced intense ringing sounds, along with sparks. And the only destroyed petal was the one that sustained the powerful offensive power from the Aria of the Goddess of Light. With a p of spiritual wings, the flying Long Haochen had a steep increase in speed, avoiding the attacks of several flowers, before returning among the ranks of hisrades. The rhizome of each of theserge flowers was after all limited in size. Unable to grab Long Haochen, they incessantly let out yells of furor. And all therge flowers swayed more violently, spreading out pink vapor, aiming at the direction of Long Haochens group. Be careful! Long Haochen shouted. Without need for instructions, a Holy Mantle appeared in view. Meanwhile, the Eleventh Holy Guard once again released the cold air that aimed in reducing the surroundings to ice. However, to ones shock, the pink vapor wasnt affected in the slightest. Still progressing towards them, it rapidly adhered to the surface of the Holy Mantle. With repeated _Puff_ sounds, the Holy Mantlested for less than three seconds before melting right away. All of this happened just too fast. Although Long Haochen immediately followed up with another Holy Mantle, some of the pink vapor still entered. Long Haochens Holy Mantle was in the end different from Han Yus, due to the difference in purity of their spiritual energy, thus its resistance was a lot greater. From Lin Xins hands, some blue mes were rapidly shot, sweeping the pink vapor. But strangely, that pink vapor didnt even react in front of the highly tempered mes of Heart of Fire, and was only routed slightly under its attack, changing a little in direction. Hold your breath! Long Haochen shouted to Chen Yingers direction, because that fog was drifting towards her. Chen Yingers reaction was already very fast, but she still inhaled a little of that pink fog. The sweet fragrance made her feel nk, and she immediately became pale. Long Haochen just released another Holy Mantle against the corrosion from this terrible pink vapor. He gave an anxious look towards Chen Yinger. Chen Yinger still looked nk, aiming her gaze in front of herself before slowly moving forward, facing the direction of those terrifyingrge flowers. Her consciousness seemedpletely lost. Wang Yuanyuan rapidly pulled her back, and Lin Xins reaction was very fast. Quickly taking out rapidly a blue liquid, he put it in his own mouth before suddenly puffing it on Chen Yingers face. From the cold shiver, Chen Yinger was immediately awakened. Wh What just happened to me? Seeing Chen Yinger at a loss, everyone couldnt help but feel overwhelmed with shock. Although Chen Yingers battle strength was not much, she was still a powerhouse of the sixth step! Being a summoner of the sixth step, she actually turned out to lose control from such a little quantity of poisonous vapor. Seeing how powerful this pink poisonous vapor was, it was no wonder that this area would be devoid of anything else than these. We are going back! Long Haochen made prompt a decision, as they had no way to handle that pink poisonous fog currently. Chapter 425 - Devil Flowers(III)

Chapter 425: Devil Flowers(III)

Trantor: GravityTales Who knew how many more of theserge flowers were concealed in the poisonous fog, and who knew how much longer this fog wouldst. Although his spiritual energy was sufficient to maintain Holy Mantle for a long time, in case theyunched attacks, it would be difficult to guarantee that no poison would leak through them. He naturally didnt want to take risks, so the priority was to withdraw from the range of attack of theserge flowers. Right at this moment, Long Haochen had a sudden thought, and an eager voice sounded inside of him. Wait a bit. Long Haochen shouted to the others that were prepared to withdraw, and with a sh of purple, the veined patterns on his forehead appeared once again. Meanwhile, his Holy Mantle spread out to an evenrger area. One Holy Mantle spell from Long Haochen could at leastst for ten second in this poisonous fog, and from this one could be seen the gap in spiritual energy. An immense figure appeared in front of everyone: that was Haoyue. Right as he appeared, Haoyues fourrge heads let out a bellow towards the sky. That was not out of rage, but rather of cheer. Long Haochen didnt even block him, who charged out of the Holy Mantle, and lifted his four heads, opening his four mouths wide to breath the pink gas. The current Haoyue was simply like a sponge. Amongst his heads, Little Green didnt forget to use a Float Technique on himself, to avoid having his massive body sink in the swamps, voraciously absorbing all the pink gas in the air. Long Haochens group was standing right behind Haoyue. With his powerful suction, the fog released from them was naturally weakened. What is Haoyue doing here? Everyone gave foolish looks at Haoyue who was absorbing the poisonous fog without pause,pletely unable toprehend. Long Haochen revealed a bitter smile, I dont know either, he did that voluntarily. It seems that this poisonous gas is beneficial to him. Lin Xin, still remember that rock I bought back then in the auction house? That time, Haoyue seemed as eager as now. Afterward, he just started his evolution. And this time, Haoyue seems just as eager, which means he will start evolvingter. It looks like this poisonous fog is of great benefit to him. Lin Xin, Ive never seen such a monstrous magical beast as Haoyue. Boss, I feel that by now, Haoyue is already not inferior to you in strength. Long Haochen responded, Very possible. I dont even know what Haoyues limits are. Well just seeter. Haoyue shouldnt do things hes uncertain about. Thest time they were besieged by the Demon Hunter Removers, Haoyue disyed great strength. Even AhBao was held up by him for a long time. It could be said that without Haoyues assistance, Long Haochen wouldnt have had any certainty to be able to protect Caier during her awakening when she was absorbing the inheritance from the God of Death, and his condition could only have gotten worse. Because of that incident, Long Haochen realized the tyrannical nature of Haoyues strength. Everything aside, the simple quadra-elemental spell Essence of Disorder was already breathtaking. And ever since the group started their seclusion in Holy City, Haoyue was also silently cultivating. The bulge on his neck was already as long as his other heads. Without a doubt, he would soon grow a fifth head. At that time, what level will Haoyue reach as a magical beast? Long Haochen didnt know, but he had already a guess deep inside regarding Haoyue. This good brother of his was really not a simple person. Haoyues suction speed kept going up, and his massive build over ten meters tall was raised up toward the sky. One could faintly see that the scales on Haoyues body were letting out a pink gloss. Its body also started to expand slightly. Intense fluctuations of spiritual energy kept emanating from him, and on his fourrge heads, his eyes of the different colors of their element turned all purple. The blood contract between Long Haochen and Haoyue made the formers perception all the more distinct. He could clearly sense that the current Haoyue had a boost in his spiritual energy due to absorbing some energy frantically. Just in this short span of time, his spiritual energy was increased at least by fifty units. Long Haochen and Haoyue were so intimately rted that the two of them could sense the others breakthrough, and would always at that time greatly affect the other one. At the time Long Haochen broke through the seventh step after saving Caier, he sensed that Haoyue was about to break through, and that this breakthrough was always kept suppressed by Haoyue. Long Haochen clearly understood that he was the very reason for that. When Caier lost her memories, how could he have the heart to attend anything else? And Haoyues evolution would very possibly have needed him to return to his original world, and to defend himself there. Out of fear of getting distracted, Haoyue didnt start his evolution. Indeed, Long Haochen had been neglecting his goodpaniontely. Looking at Haoyue with some guilt, Long Haochen told himself secretly that no matter from where Haoyue came, and no matter what will happen in the future, he will protect this little brother of his, just like he has always been doing for him. The pink vapor in the air gradually lost its shine after being absorbed by Haoyue with all his strength, and his fourrge heads incessantly let out yells from excitement. As his suction continued, his belly also started to gain in size, and the pink misting out from him also grew in intensity. Master, these are Devil Man-eating Flowers, a very dangerous kind of nt-type magical beasts. Every one of them is a magical beast of the sixth rank, that all enjoy living in group. Be it animals or humans, everyone is food for them. The most tyrannical aspect of these Devil Man-eating Flowers is inunching this poisonous fog, so called spirit confusion poisonous fog. In case one gets caught in it, even if its an even more powerful powerhouse, he will walk straight to the mouth of the Devil Man-eating Flowers to get swallowed. In our times long before, there had been an operation aimed to exterminate Devil Man-eating Flowerspletely. I didnt expect some to have survived. And I just recognized this pink gas just now. The one saying this was the Twelfth Holy Guard. Without a doubt, these two souls of powerhouses acting as guards were truly very experienced and knowledgeable. In this trip to the Swamps of Gloom, their utility exceeded anyone else from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Nodding to the Twelfth Holy Guard, something just bothered his mind. Since the holy guards were of such utility, why not Thinking, he already had a n. As long as they managed to find the Devil Snake demon god Andromalius, their group would certainly make a huge bet. In the air, the hallucinogen flowing was bing more and more thin, and the Holy Mantle released by Long Haochen already managed to hold out without even the need to be supplemented anymore. The current Haoyue, was like someone with a really heavy makeup: his whole body was totally colored in pink. His abdomen swelled up, and tyrannical fluctuations of spiritual energy kept bursting forth from his body, as the shouts from his four heads became more and more excited. The Devil Flowers from afar could now be seen clearly, and everyone found out to their surprise that these Devil Man-eating Flowers looked a lot more dispiritedpared to before. Visibly, their continuous release of the spirit confusion poisonous gas depleted quite a lot of energy from them. _Roaar._ Haoyues fourrge heads were looking up, stepping forward inrge strides in his pink colored body, with a green light curling up around his body. Relying on the Float Technique, he basically didnt need to worry about getting sunk into the swamps. Just like that, he went straight for the Devil Man-eater Flower. Haoyue, be careful! Long Haochen shouted loudly. Haoyue immediately passed him a message calming him, and rushed forward on his four powerful limbs. On him, Long Haochen saw ripples of the purple light he had seen many times in the past. It was only that this time, the purple aura was a lot more flourishing than every other time before. The purple light didnt spread far, only spreading around Haoyues body. And, as he brazenly rushed through the ranks of the Devil Man-eater Flowers, this purple glow revealed its utility. The Devil Man-eater Flowers astonishingly seemed very afraid, and didnt dare open their flower bud tounch any attack at him, allowing Haoyue toe. After the purple light released from Haoyue made contact with the Devil Man-eater Flower, those immense man-eaters rapidly withered, be it on the root or the bud, and fell to the ground consecutively. When Haoyue sucked in arge breath, a little ball of pink liquid was absorbed into his belly, before he headed for another one. This process repeated itself over and over again. The Devil Flowers that frightened Long Haochen were like ice encountering fire in front of Haoyue. With no resistance, it took a while for all the Devil Flowers in front of them to get all withered, disappearing from sight inside the swamps. Go, lets keep going. Long Haochen shouted, and everyone resumed their advance, pacing forward behind Haoyue. The number of Devil Flowers present was actually not as high Long Haochen guessed, they were actually roughly three or four hundred. Their massive volume, and the area upied caused the inconsistency, and Long Haochen found out that if they made a little detour, they could perhaps have avoided these Devil Man-eater Flowers. Going through their territory was thus not necessarily the only option. Undoubtedly, without Haoyues timely appearance, going this way would have been extremely hard to them. The spirit confusion poison from these Devil Man-eater Flowers was just too terrifying. Haoyues speed increased more and more, and one could see that every time he destroyed one of the Devil Flowers, the pink color on his body darkened. And when thest Devil Flower turned into his food, his color actually came back to normal. But this time, Haoyue requested for help and rapidly returned to Long Haochen. His four heads slightly trembled, before Long Haochen let out low coughs. No problem. Long Haochen vigorously nodded to Haoyue, before turning to the direction of hisrades, Please wait here for now. We are going for a little while. In a hurry, a purple glow shone and Long Haochen and Haoyue disappeared almost instantly. Chapter 426 - Haoyue enters his mature stage

Chapter 426: Haoyue enters his mature stage

Trantor: GravityTales Caier was right next to Long Haochen before, and seeing him disappear and without any warning, so suddenly, she revealed a panicked look. Wang Yuanyuan hastened to join her side, reassuring her in low voice, Its nothing. Captain should have gone to help Haoyue evolve. Lets wait here for now. Since Long Haochen didnt bring them along to help Haoyue, it meant he had confidence in facing any possible obstacles, thus Wang Yuanyuan didnt tell Caier about the possible danger Long Haochen could confront when apanying Haoyue. Indeed, Long Haochen was really confident. Thats because before their teleportation, Haoyue informed him that the evolution this time would be very short. This was the so called preparation is key to sess. Through one year of seclusion plus the great amount of Devil Man-eater Flowers essence and spirit confusion poison Haoyue absorbed gave him a massive power. Compared to all his past breakthroughs, this time, it was a lot more pressing, but also a lot more certain. With a sh of light, Long Haochen and Haoyue reappeared in craggy hills. The ck and red as well as the dense muddy air once again appeared in Long Haochens senses. Heaving his two swords, Long Haochen assumed a defensive posture with no hesitation, while devoting all his attention on Haoyue. Compared to the previous breakthroughs when he tried to hide his presence to be as covert as possible, this time was different. Right after reaching this world, Haoyue immediately lifted up his four heads, and let out roars and bellows to the air. That was the kind of lofty shout like when a king signaled his return, as if telling that he would regain all control as a king. _Puff._ The bulge on Haoyues neck burst once again, and a brand newrge head abruptly stretched out from there. The instant thisrge head burst out, only the time of three breaths passed. From that speed of breakthrough, it could be seen how anxious Haoyue was to get over with that. This new head was like the other four in size, but the greatest difference lied on the top of this head. The horn was very peculiar, it was like a chrysanthemum, blossoming above. And right in the center of this flower was a character rarely seen in the current Shengmo Dalu, ء. The eyes on thisrge head were all dark purple, but there was some notable difference on this colorpared to the purple emitted from Haoyues whole body before. The aura emitted from Haoyues body and the color of all his eyes changed, turning light purple. But the purple color on these eyes was a lot darker. Flinging thisrge head with a chrysanthemum as its horn, he let out roars with a somewhat rough voice, followed by powerful roars. An exceedingly terrifying aura abruptly burst out from Haoyue, and even as his blood contracted partner, Long Haochen retreated in front of his imposing manner, secretly in shock. He could clearly sense that the current Haoyue already surpassed him in strength. That was magical beast of the eighth rank, equivalent to a powerhouse of the seventh step. And furthermore, never forget that Haoyue was a penta-elemental magical beast of the eighth rank! The aura that emanated from him was actually something not even a magical beast of the ninth rank couldpete with. The eyes on Haoyues fifth head were different, but without exception, all regained at this time in thick and powerful intent. And on his body, changes started to appear from the birth of this fifth head. His originally ten meter long build started once again to expand, and the scales on his body grew even more thick. His bones bing bulkier, each of his head started to erge along with his body, and the same went for his neck. When Long Haochen watched attentively the changing body of Haoyue, another scene suddenly filled him with even more shock. PuC C A sound close to broken li suddenly rang, and the two massive bulges on Haoyues back suddenly split open, oozing arge clump of deep purple coloured blood. These were two meters wide immense wings, with a wingspan of six meters. On Haoyues wings were no feathers, looking closer to a bats wings. Yet it was iparably more solid than a bats, the exterior bone being of massive thickness,pletely deep purple in color, just like the color of the eyes on his fifth head. The broken parts on his new wings healed at an astonishing speed, and thick scales started to grow from these wings, extending from within. Along with the appearance of these wings, Haoyue now reached fifteen meters in height. But his total volume was at the least doubled, and the terrible pressure from him felt somewhat unreal to Long Haochen. Is he really a magical beast of the eighth rank? But could a magical beast of the eighth rank really have such a tyrannical and domineering aura? Seeing the changes on Haoyues body, for some reason, Long Haochen was flustered deep inside. This feeling of panic was somewhat unclear to him, but he was pretty sure that even with the addition of Yating, he would be no match for Haoyue. Right at this time, Long haochen suddenly realized that his body started to emit heat. If someone was here, they would be able to see that nine purple patterns was densely spread on his forehead, and that even his skin turned purple. An aura simr to Haoyues started to spread out from Long Haochens body. He could clear feel his own internal and external spiritual energy suddenly increase at an astonishing speed. The gained spiritual energy wasnt of light attribute, but a kind of special existence unknown to Long Haochen. This spiritual energy was extreme pure, but didnt have any elemental attribute. Whening in contact with his own light elemental spiritual energy, it turned into the light element. 100, 200, 300, 500 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 Long Haochen gained a whole 3,000 units of internal spiritual energy, before this increase started to slow down. And further, this was only the amount of internal spiritual energy he gained. As for to how much his external spiritual energy increased, he didnt even know himself. He could only sense that his own body was full of explosive power. This was truly a wonderful feeling, brought without a doubt by Haoyue to him. In the previous evolutions, it could be said that for the majority of the time, it was Long Haochen giving help to Haoyue, but a situation like right now, when the counterparts breakthrough brought an increase of 3,000 units of spiritual energy, waspletely unheard of. But one might well imagine how massive the current boost to Haoyue was. And furthermore, with wings on his back, Haoyue undoubtedly gained the ability to fly. If Long Haochen was still at the fifth step, he would have turned into an Airborne Knight from Earth Knight. Haoyue turned back his massive figure, as the thick scales on him started to spread out some light purple color. Lifting up his two forews, he stood up straight, revealing a great contrastpared to Long Haochen due to his massive stature. With his fiverge heads looking up to the sky, his eyes disyed a hard to describe coldness. Looking afar, he let out another cold shout. This shout gradually turned out into a whistle, as if giving vent to all the depressed feelings in him. Long Haochen silently sensed the changes on Haoyues mood, but didnt say anything, only watching him silently. Afar, some creatures seemed to have started heading this way, but at that sight, Haoyue seemed to be leaking out a dense unremitting feeling from his eyes. His four ws slowly reached the ground, and Haoyue simultaneously crawled to Long Haochen with his fiverge heads. Along with the new head, all of them pressed close to Long Haochen, and their eyes showed gentleness. Long Haochen heard Haoyues voice in his heart, Brother, I have evolved. I am now finally in myplete state. Haha, those insignificant trashes will not threaten my life any further. One day, when I return here, I will definitely crush them all to pieces. Complete state? Long Haochen asked Haoyue in confusion. Haoyue nodded in response, and Little Light lowered his head, going in contact with Long Haochens legs. A soft force immediately held Long Haochens body, from Little Lights thick neck, letting him slide onto Haoyues back from his neck. Brother, at the time you just summoned me from your space, you used your own blood to help me break away from my newly born state, to my maturing state. And right now, I finally broke through from my maturing state, achieving myplete state. After reaching myplete state, my strength will now gradually emerge. In the future, my body will progressively get perfected, and my real strength will gradually awaken from there. Long Haochen was secretly startled. If the current Haoyue just entered hisplete state, then what level of power was he going to attain after really developing in hisplete state? Haoyue could sense Long Haochens thoughts, passing him a kind of proud feeling, as if being full of pride about his own future strength. Brother, my words are unclear right. I dont know what level of power I will get after evolving from myplete form, to my ultimate form. Only, my body is longing for the day that wille. Long Haochen revealed a slight smile, softly stroking Little Lights neck, Actually, to me, your safety is the most important. As long as youe unharmed and safe, I dont mind the level of strength you can possibly reach. Haoyue turned his fiverge heads back, watching Long Haochen with his five different colored eyes, seemingly about to melt from seeing his gentle looks. All his eyes were directed towards Long Haochen, softly rubbing against him. These childlike emotions gave Long Haochen a warm impulse deep inside. _Right, no matter how powerful Haoyue grows, he will always be my goodpanion, and my good brother._ Feeling his heads with the hand, Long Haochen dered, Lets go. Since you are already at yourplete stage, we should return, to spare the others from waiting for us. This time, he took note of the fact that afar, arge quantity of undead creatures were rushing to this direction, with some especially powerful aura appearing, full of pressure. Haoyues fiverge heads were once again raised upwards, letting out a very dignified roar, as a purple glow covered Long Haochen and him. With a sparkle of purple light, the man and the beast disappeared from this ck and red world. This time, travelling, Long Haochen came to an obviously somewhat startling realization. When teleporting in the past, he could feel himself travelling back and forth from space to space, before joining Haoyues side. But this time,it wasnt the same, he faintly sensed that Haoyue had a grasp on the spatial power, and directly sent them to their original world. With a radiant sh, when the massive Haoyue reappeared in front of everyone, all the members from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad couldnt help but let out a gasp. Seeing the massive wings on the back of Haoyue, Lin Xin couldnt help but remark, Damn! Such a tyrannical power. Is that really Haoyue? Wang Yuanyuan was startled, This is A fifth head? Is there in the end any limit to Haoyue!? Would he be keep growing heads forever? Han Yu shook his head, Maybe not. See, this time, theres no more bulge on the sides of Haoyues body. There should be no more new heads growing, I think? However, hes already very powerful at five heads. The aura spreading out from him should make him at least a magical beast of the eighth rank. Chen Yinger pondered, I am very curious about the element of Haoyues fifth head. Sima Xian concluded this upright, Who cares about that element? Its enough as hes powerful. Haoyues strength is our Demon Hunt Squads strength. Haoyue turned around, and let out a light howl. His massive body slowly crawled and that time, everyone got to notice that under Haoyues four thick limbs, some marks of ice fracture started to appear. It seemed at its limit bearing his massive build. Long Haochen said with a smile, Haoyue is weing you toe. Eleventh and Twelfth Holy Guard, you can temporarily return to the Eternal Melody. Yating, you also do the same. Three sh of light simultaneously returned to Long Haochens body. After thepletion of Haoyues evolution, Long Haochens confidence increased even further. And Haoyue already passed him a certain message, that these Swamps of Gloom werent a big threat to him. Since things were so, it was better to conceal some of their assets, to give them even more cards up their sleeves for the crucial times. With a sh, Long Haochen joined Caiers side, and stretched his hand to her. This wasnt the first time for Caier to see Haoyue. Originally, in the scene yed by Ye Xiaolie, Long Haochen and Haoyue were both protecting her, and she naturally knew that Haoyue was Long Haochens mount. With great curiosity in her, she passed her right hand to Long Haochen, her charming face blushing slightly, filled with an inimitable pure beauty. Long Haochen looked slightly dazed, and couldnt help but blush at that. But deep inside, he felt a joy of victorying above the warmth. Since Caier agreed to let him hold her hand, that obviously meant that she was ready to ept him more. Holding her soft and frail little hand, Long Haochen forced his surging mood with difficulty. With the support of spiritual energy he pulled her to him and sat on Haoyues back. The others all followed, climbing on Haoyues back. With Haoyues protection, they maintained their formation, making it easier to adapt to changes. Right this time, Haoyues fifth head suddenly turned round, stopping in front of Lin Xin, giving a look to the Forest Boa internal pill hanging on his neck, letting out a low howl. Chapter 427 - Saw Skate (I)

Chapter 427: Saw Skate (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Lin Xin held the internal pill close to his chest, Haoyue, this cannot be given to you. I need it to make pills. This fifth head disdainfully snorted. After shaking his head, he turned it back. Long Haochen exined with a little smile, Little Purple is telling you to put the Forest Boa internal pill inside. With him here, the poisonous gas in here is absolutely nothing. Eh? Lin Xin was startled. Being an intelligent person, he suddenly realized, Boss, are you saying that the element of Haoyues fifth head is Long Haochen nodded, Its as you guessed, poison. Hearing the word poison, everyone couldnt help but reveal a change of expression. No wonder Haoyue swallowed all that poison. So that was actually for the development of his fifth head of poison type. The poison attribute, it was something time that they heard about something like this. Amongst all known magical beasts, this attribute didnt seem to exist. Of course, this was outside of those previous Devil Man-eater Flowers. Haoyue raised up his fifth head and with a low roar, both of its eyes lit up, with a resplendent purple colored light. It was quite strange, but along with the sparkle of his eyes, the surrounding poison seemed to disperse in terror. In a few blinks of an eye, the poison on a range of at least three hundred meters around them dispersed, and along with Haoyues advance, the poison was continuously scattering. A lot more effectively than Eleventh Holy Guard or the Forest Boa internal pill, their line of sight became clear and everyone saw with surprise the environment of thisnd of death improve incredibly. The color of the swamps actually varied greatly. Some areas were dark brown, while some were dark yellow, and some dark green. Thus, when their visibility increased, everyone traced a lot more details. In the range of growth of the Devil Man-eating Flowers, they were the only kind of nt. But past this area, other nts also started to appear. Vines were still the majority, and some unfamiliar nts appeared. Haoyue started to move, takingrge strides deeper into the Swamps of Glooms. He seemed totally devoid of worries, and didnt give any look to the surroundings. It was quite strange to mention, but ever since everyone climbed on his back, no more magical beast dared ambush them. Ai, dont you think its strange, that those omnipresent lizard just disappeared? Chen Yinger gave a curious look to the surrounding. There was no more need to walk, yet everything was a lot more safe, causing her to be in a better mood. The depressed feeling she had from being hit by the previous poisonous gas was appeased by a lot. Lin Xin replied with augh, Dont you understand? When encountering an ancestor of their race, which lizard would dare approach recklessly? Roaa! Little Light suddenly turned back, staring at Lin Xin with a very fierce nce. Lin Xin was startled from the ominous glint that came out from his eyes. Boss, what is Haoyue doing? With a gentleughter, Long Haochen replied, He said that hes not a lizard, and that you should please notpare him with those inferior reptiles, otherwise hes throwing you down. Lin Xinughed in response too, Right, right, our Haoyue is the most powerful. What reptile, even a gigantic dragon is nothing inparison. Right? Since boot-licking didnt require any money be spent, he was very generous with hispliments. At least he wasnt stingy in this aspect. After snorting once at him, Haoyue didnt pay him any more attention. Perhaps this was because Haoyues fifth head Little Purple was newly born, he really put a lot of energy to aplish his given task, relying only on his own ability. Little Purples methods to open up a path was very simple. Opening his mouth, he would release some breath forward. This breath was the same color as his eyes, dark purple. Once it passed through, no matter how rough they were, the vines in the way immediately melted, making their way smooth. However, Long Haochen realized that this Little Purple was taking very deep breaths every time. At every breath he took, he seemed to absorb some of the energy concentrated in the swamps, and as he spat it out, the poisonous marsh gas that scattered became more and more powerful. Although Long Haochen couldnt be certain that Little Purples strength was different from the other heads, if this poison attribute was used well, perhaps it could turn out to be a lot more terrifying than the other attributes. In a few moments, the distance covered by Haoyue was already greater than the total distance Long Haochens group covered until then. While getting even deeper inside of the swamps, everyone had time to recover. Haoyues wide back was over a dozen meter long. Although seven of them were seated, they didnt feel crowded at all. It was just that for safety, Long Haochen kept himself close to Caier, thus why the two of them were rtively close. Still advancing forward, Haoyue rushed for roughly another half hour, before they entered the depths of the swamps. Haoyues powerful bearing was really effective on the road. Before his appearance, even with thrice more time, they wouldnt have made it here yet. After passing through another dense area of vines, a littleke appeared. Thiske wasnt deep, and Long Haochen found thend here to be rather muddy, proof of the shallowness of theke. Until then, this was still the first time for Haoyue to stop his advance. His five heads looked around to the four directions, showing some hesitation in his actions for the first time. Since Long Haochen could sense the fearing out of Haoyue, he also started to feel uneasy. With shivers running down his spine, Long Haochen shouted, Everybody be prepared for battle! Be careful about the surroundings! Right at this time, Caier suddenly looked to one direction out of some subconscious call, and sensing her sudden tight brace, Long Haochen immediately watched attentively towards that direction. A thick osciting ray shed out right at that instant. This sh of light happened just at a too fast speed. As if sticking close to the surface of theke, that cold ray moved more quickly than a sharp de. Haoyue abruptly let out a low roar, leaning his massive build forward. Long Haochen had a feeling of pain from that low roar, immediately jumping down from Haoyues back. A golden shadow separated from him, remaining on Haoyues back. Then, a spinning bolt of energy suddenly hit Haoyues thick right foreleg. One could see one of his half foot long scales being cut, revealing a nerve inside. However, this wound still healed at an astonishing speed. Although Long Haochen couldnt possible use his own attacks to try out the strength of Haoyues scales, Haoyue and him having been battling together for a long time, he had a considerableprehension of Haoyues defensive power. As for the strength of Haoyues external spiritual energy, it should have crossed 10,000 units even before his evolution. The double of that could possibly have been reached after his evolution. For his defenses to have been broken instantly under these circumstances, letting him no opportunity to even dodge or adapt himself, what level of strength was needed? Right at this time, Long Haochens pupils suddenly dted, because he saw that from the clear littleke was suddenly filled with several dozens osciting rays, amounting close to a hundred, all shot at the direction of Haoyue. Reaching an extreme speed, it was invisible to the naked eye. Haoyue! Long Haochen shouted frantically. Meanwhile, the Aria of the Goddess of Light was waved, and countless golden dots of light covered the air. This blow was already sparing no efforts from Long Haochen, not only in the amount of spiritual energy contained, but also the attack speed and range of attack reaching an extreme level. That was Demon Wiping sh. Haoyue let out a low roar, abruptly spreading out the two immense wings on his side, and pping them with vigor, propelling his massive body to the air. Haoyue wasnt a pacifist, and as his body rose in the air, on his fiverge heads, five breaths already shot out, at the direction of the littleke. In the midst of an ear-piercing exploding sound, Long Haochen felt as if he was smashed by an immense hammer, and even a powerful weapon such as the Aria of the Goddess of Light let out slightmentable sounds. A massive bacsh force directlynded on Long Haochens body, flying back, but he still seed in stalling long enough for Haoyue to fly through Demon Wiping sh. Letting out a stuffy sound, Long Haochens face was very pale, and the golden light from the Soul Sharing Chains appeared in front of everyone from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. That cold light didnt show trace of wanting to let go of Long Haochen, and stuck to him, sliding alongside him. In front of the powerful destructive power that wounded Haoyue, Long Haochens Glorious Holy Armor was unable to resist. However, right at this time, Long Haochens body let out the white glow of Pull to the air, escaping by a hairs breath the attack from those white glows. Everyone felt cold sweat on their back. The critical point was that this situation of danger was just too sudden. Ever since Haoyue got attacked to when Long Haochen jumped down, the whole process just took a few breaths of time. A violent explosion resounded in the next instant, and five spats of breath fell into the littleke, erupting loudly. Five destructive elemental explosions turned the whole littleke upside down. This smallke reached only one or two hundred meters diameter. Massive fluctuations of spiritual energy spread out madly, and a surge of osciting rays were fired in session, swirling in dispersion in the air. Relying on this chance, everyone finally saw clearly what those osciting rays were Long Haochen fiercely straightened up his chest, clearly feeling his body shake repeatedly from that. If he hadnt made some prior preparations, by making Yating remain on Haoyues back, the Attraction ability from the Saint Spiritual Stove would have been almost impossible to escape at this asion. That was because he wasnt even given the time to release his own spiritual wings. What kind of monster is that in the end? Be it Long Haochen or his otherrades, no one recognized the magical beast that ambushed them. Chapter 428 - Saw Skate (II)

Chapter 428: Saw Skate (II)

Trantor: GravityTales These monsters were indeed extraordinary. Every one of them wasnt huge in build, only reaching a length of roughly two meters. It seemed like a special fish, entirely t and not really wide, roughly reaching one third of a meter in width. Its body was t and thin, but its appearance was too fierce. On the top of its head were sharp sawtooth extending over more than one meter. In the dark Swamps of Gloom, the glint from their sawtooth let out a brilliant light. In fact, this thing reached a length of about two meters, but the sawteeth of its head upied a meter of that length, making its body half of its entire length! What kind of terrifying physique was that?! On its back, arge fin was energetically pushing its body. And furthermore, each of these monstrous fishes produced fearsome fluctuations of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was of a kind that Long Haochen has never seen before, absolutely iparable with the water element from an ordinary aquatic magical beast, as there were some wind and space elements mixed in it. Or perhaps it was a mixture of the two. At the time these monstrous fishes appeared, they clearly had an impetus from the wind element, while their monstrous sawteeth on their body emitted fluctuations of the spatial attribute. Because of this, their attack power was that great. What they used was Spatial Cut! Right now, dozens of these monstrous fishes appeared before everyones vision. Under the bombardment from Haoyues five elements, the targeted monstrous fishes filled the air with a white liquid, and overwhelming majority of them stayed unharmed. From their extremely glossy skin, some dim silver colored radiance could be seen spreading out. The aftermath from the bombardment was the regeneration of their bodies, and no real harm was inflicted to them. Being of spatial and wind dual attribute magical beast, their most terrifying aspect was their offensive power, but neither their defense nor their speed was nothing to beughed about. So this kind of magical beast still existed in these Swamps of Gloom! And more terrifyingly, they were living in a pack. In fact, there should be more than a hundred of these living in thiske. Long Haochen drew a breath, immediately summoning the two holy guards from the Eternal Melody, having them identify these monsters. The two holy guards looked unflustered, as they simultaneously mentioned a name unknown to everyone. Saw Skates! How surprising! Isnt this species supposed to be extinct since long ago? How could there be some here? These two powerhouses who ordinarily didnt show any emotion, but now, they were clearly very shocked. Long Haochen asked, What are Saw Skates? The Eleventh Holy Guard replied with a voice still filled with some fear, They are terrifying magical beasts. Their individual strength is really high, equivalent to a magical beast of the eighth rank, and atop of that, they are generally found in a pack. Their destructive power is massive, their most peculiar feature is the horn on their head. Although it is a part of their body, its still their most terrifying weapon. These magical beasts are fearsome both onnd and sea. Their biggest weakness is their inability of flight, but their camouge capabilities are also outstanding. Even magical beasts and humans with the ability of flight can very easily be put to death without even being given the time to escape using it. In ancient times, these magical beasts had a tyrannical presence, but afterwards, they met destruction from encountering their predator, the gigantic dragons. I didnt expect to really encounter some, in this lifetime. Their existence is only known from ancient books! Long Haochen gasped at this information. _No wonder these monsters are that powerful, so they were actually magical beasts of the eighth rank!_ That was over a hundred magical beasts of the eighth rank! If they were gifted with the ability of flight, his only choice would be to lead hisrades back to the Tower of Eternity, since they werent strong enough to resist against that threat. At this moment, the Saw Skates below were howling one after another. Their howls werent incredibly loud, but had a deep resounding feeling. The Saw Skates that Haoyue killed just before with his power-burst were roughly three, and some were injured. All of them being at the eighth rank, if they were in one versus one, Haoyue would be a lot stronger than them. But when encountering this many Saw Skates, Haoyue could only stall. However, Haoyue wasnt so easy to bully. From being injured by their surprise attack, further adding the danger of death Long Haochen was exposed to, he waspletely infuriated. Incessantly, he spit again and again towards the littleke below, especially for the newly born Little Purple, whose poisonous spit was highly toxic, causing even the members from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad to have rmed looks at its sight. However, Saw Skates really deserved being called tough antique creatures. They had a special technique of resistance, forming a whirlpool with their saws. One could clearly see circles of purple white spread outwards, filling the air and taking the shape of a silver white protective dome covering arge area. Meanwhile, the even more bizarre thing was that theke underneath turned muddy because of Haoyues bombardment, but from that silver light spreading, it rapidly regained a limpid coloration, as if all the poison was flying up to the sky. Right! If they didnt have the ability to resist against poison, these Saw Skates wouldnt possibly have survived in thisnd of death. Although Haoyues projectiles were powerful, it wasnt effective enough against so many Saw Skates acting as one unit. It could only send them flying one by one, and didnt turn out as an efficient attack. By chance, Haoyue had this fifth poison elemental head. Currently, the dense poisonous fog surrounding them was dispelled by the auraing out from Haoyues body. As one might well imagine, if Long Haochens group took off to the sky by the means of their wings, even if they were able to resist the poison, their spiritual energy would rapidly get depleted. It would then be hard to say whether they would be able to rush out of the poisonous fog. Moreover, who could be certain that there wouldnt be other powerful enemies in or beyond the poisonous marsh gas? Haoyues fiverge heads were continuously letting out cries of fury, obviously infuriated by the surprise attack of these Saw Skates. The massive wings on his back were continuously pping, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy around his body also kept strengthening. Long Haochen patted Haoyues back,forting him, Let it be. This is their dwelling ce. Well just fly through and that will be it. Although Haoyue was unwilling, he wouldnt go against Long Haochens will. With an dissatisfied feeling, he pped both wings on his back forward, nning on crossing over thiske from the sky, before finding a point tond and then proceed forward. After all, the flight to the sky, while carrying seven people on his back and having to resist the poison came with arge consumption for him. However, theplexions on the faces of Long Haochens group changed rapidly, because those Saw Skate that originally lived in theke unexpectedly went chasing after Haoyue? They showed no signs of wanting to let go of them. _What are these Saw Skates doing?_ Long Haochen was startled. There was no choice but to admit that if theynded to the ground, they would really not be a match for these Saw Skates. Be it physically, in spiritual energy or attack power, they were really no match for this many Saw Skates. The Eleventh Holy Guard exined, Saw Skates live in a group, and have very good solidarity. This is why they hold grudges particrly deeply. Before, you killed one of theirrades, so they definitely wont leave the matter at that. Long Haochen showed a calm smile, They can perhaps take care of others like that, but us? Im afraid they chose the wrong target. After having advanced for so long, we should rest. Lets go, and return to the Tower of Eternity. Following a track needed a target, so when these Saw Skates lose their target, what more could they do? Nothing else but to return to their own habitat. A sh of light appeared, slowly spreading around, enveloping Haoyues massive figure. It vanished, and the next instant, Long Haochens group was transported to the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. Back to the Tower of Eternity, everyone finally let out their breaths. At least here, they felt at peace, and didnt have to worry about some terrible creatures suddenly rushing at them from thatnd of death. However, Long Haochen remained quite curious about the Saw Skates. Asking the two holy guards, he obtained some details regarding this species. Saw Skates were indeed formidable creatures. If not for their weakness of being unable to fly, they would have remained as the tyrants of the continent for even longer back then. The reason why they had dual elements was due to their body. Their horn was contained spatial attribute, while their body contained wind attribute. These two attributesplemented one another, making their attack speed overwhelming. Haoyue was already quite lucky to have been able to kill some Saw Skates, because his attack was sudden, and from their inadequate defense. Based on these two holy guards, in these swamps, even if there was some Forest Boa of the tenth rank, he wouldnt dare rashly invade the territory of this group of Saw Skates. In fact, in terms of attack power, their horns werent inferior to ordinary Legendary Equipment! In the same way, because of the great power of the Saw Skates, the body of each of these Saw Skates could be called a valuable treasure. First of all, given that the body of a Saw Skate had the ability to sustain the constant surges of the two elements inside, it was a lot stronger than ordinary magical beasts in toughness. Of course, this remained beyondpare with a freak controlling so many elements as Haoyue. The toughest part of a Saw Skate wasnt its horn, but the center of its back, with three silvery whiteyers of skin, making it extremely tough.Next was the terrible horn, which without any refinement, in its in from, was already a piece of spatial element of at least Glorious Tier. And it would have attack power equalling the legendary tier, but, in a humans hands, the power of this horn would be a bit less. However, what if this horn was processed? The Eleventh Holy Guard told Long Haochen that all the weapons from ancient times that was made with a Saw Skate Horn, were items of Legendary Tier. Chapter 429 - Saw Skates (III)

Chapter 429: Saw Skates (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Magical crystals from Saw Skates were not the same as the other magical beasts. Their magical crystal had a particr power, called Dispel. Able to dispel any poison and negative effects, and to keep the body pure, it would with an input of spiritual energy show these effects in a certain range. This made it a valuable treasure, that, if used well, restrain any magical beast or enemy of poison attribute. And furthermore, the corrosion from the darkness element would also get affected to some extent. Thus, the bodies of Saw Skates were valuable treasures. Of course, to kill one of these magical beasts, a well thought out n was needed. This was given how they held grudges. To kill their enemies, Saw Skates generally only needed a split second. And based on the analysis from the two holy guards, for thiske to have so many Saw Skates inside, a particrly powerful Saw Skate would probably be living inside. It was just that it didnt appear before. Having broken through from the eighth rank, it became a Saw Skate of even higher ss, with the most terrifying aspect being their ability of instant teleportation. Right, although it was simrly incapable of flight, who would dare have a certain estimate of the maximal distance of its teleportation ability? In case this one were to attack them by surprise, just think, when seeing how sharp the horn of an ordinary Saw Skate was, what level of terror would the horn of this kind of Saw Skate King reach? Long Haochen appeared unperturbed, but one of the allies standing by his side, had a stirred look, her face turned into an unordinary red color, and her breath was somewhat rushed. Dont misunderstand, that wasnt Caier, but Wang Yuanyuan, who was about to drool. And it was no wonder that Wang Yuanyuan would have such a reaction. Her spatial attribute was very rarely seen, in all vocations. The equipment of spatial attribute were even rarer, and this was the reason why Long Haochen wanted to give priority to the equipment bought for her before anyone else. Hearing that these Saw Skates had such powerful horns, it would be rather strange for Wang Yuanyuan not to covet these. She possessed the bloodline of the Divine Soul Shield, making her able to use it as a weapon, but this was merely a powerful weapon and no more. The Divine Soul Shield had its limits, and Wang Yuanyuan understood that. This weapon certainlybined attack and defense well, but using it inbination with the spatial attribute was really hard. In particr, it would keep gaining in weight when adding spatial crystals. In times of prolonged battles, Wang Yuanyuan didnt dare unleash her full power. In truth, the bloodline inherited weapon being this Divine Soul Shield was supposed to be used as an ultimate weapon, rather than a regr one. Yuanyuan, I understand your thoughts. Dont worry, we will think of something, and if possible, we of course wont let go of such a good opportunity. Yeah. Wang Yuanyuan gave her agreement. Although she was unable to remain calm, at that time, she didnt say anything more, after all the Saw Skates were really dangerous. Long Haochen gathered hisrades, Everyone heard about the benefits of the Saw Skates. It can be said that all parts of its body is a treasure. If possible, I wish to take along some Saw Skates. This wont only be of benefit to Yuanyuan, but also serve to strengthen the Alliance if sold, we will gain from that contribution points, enabling us to get good equipments for the others. Without need for Long Haochen to say any further, everyone had eager looks. At the time of their encounter against the Forest Boa, everyone had the simr thoughts, that since they got the opportunity to encounter rare creatures from ancient times, they were unwilling to let go of their many benefits. The Demon Hunters were beings that grew from the blood of other living beings, and strengthening their power would always remain a top priority to them. They didnt find Forest Boas, but Saw Skates were now in front of them. We presently have to discuss our uing course of action. The main points are; first, to us, the most important aspect to emphasize is safety. No matter how great the benefits Saw Skates could bring us, we will have to go aim for them on the premise that everyone is to return safely. Long Haochen was resolute and decisive, because what he wished the least to see was hisrades taking unnecessary risks for the sake of benefits. Thus, he particrly emphasized this point. Afterwards, his look swept past the side of hisrades. After seeing them approve, he continued speaking, Then, what follows will be tight nning. Ordinary Saw Skates are already magical beasts of the eighth step, but a Saw Skate King is very possibly going to be just like a Forest Boa King, a powerful magical beast of tenth rank. This isnt anything we can face in our current state. In case we confront their Saw Skate King, there will be a great probability for casualties from our side. Thus, we can only aim for ordinary Saw Skates for now. To us, the best situation would be the case that this group of Saw Skates doesnt have a king among their ranks. However, being prepared doesnt hurts. We have to consider the worst situation. Everyone, give your suggestions. We will make our move afterwards. What followed was a time of rest and reorganization, as they discussed. Although the majority of the group couldnt recover spiritual energy in the Tower of Eternity, they didnt use up much before. But after entering the Swamps of Gloom, everyone became tense, and the Tower of Eternity became an effective ce for them to rx, and maintain a peak condition for the battle toe. After agreeing upon the tactics, Long Haochen didnt bring everyone back into the Swamps of Gloom to carry out their ns, but brought everyone to the second floor of the Tower of Eternity. Haoyue spread his pair of immense wings, floating on the faintly discernible clouds on the second floor. Everyone was on Haoyues back, and the most perturbed was obviously Caier, who forgot everything from this ce along with the rest of her memories. Having alreadye who knows how many times to train in this first floor, everyone was used to training their air battle tactics here. But until the time they left the Temple Alliance, they had yet to pass the twost tests of the second floor. And it was for the sake of keeping training hisrades in air battle that Long Haochen had been putting aside the matter of thesest two tests. However, he now came to another decision. Haoyue was advancing in the sky under Long Haochens lead, as the surrounding clouds were swept past his way. From afar, an immense golden sculpture could be vaguely seen. The checkpoints they passed before wouldnt reappear, and seeing that sculpture, Long Haochen had Haoyue stop advancing. Sima Xian raised a question, Boss, are we going to resume training now? But the consumed spiritual energy is going to be hard to recover! Long Haochen shook his head. Full of disdain, Lin Xin remarked, Baldie, do you have mud for brains. Dont you understand Boss intention? Boss wants us to raise our strength as a whole. Have a good look. Long Haochen didnt exin further, giving a smile before spreading out the four wings on his back, already flying over. In his hands, the Rippling Light and the Aria of the Goddess of Light appeared simultaneously, and at the time of flight, the look on his eyes became suddenly sharp. Right before he was at the twenty meters marks, a green light suddenly appeared from nowhere, followed by the soundless appearance of a skeleton in midair. This skeleton looked quite bizarre, a bit smaller than the Eleventh Holy Guard in build, and had two more wings than Long Haochen on his back. Along with a sh of green fire burning inside of his body, an intense green light rushed forth from him. One could faintly see an intense wind element revolve all around him. The weapons of this skeleton were also quite special, differing from any existing one. These were two S-shaped daggers, also colored green. On top of the weapons, a pointed cone shape could be seen. Without a doubt, this weapon would really be destructive in case of a direct attack. A gaudy green me pulsed severely in his two eyes. His body took almost a mere instant to look illusory. Being very familiar with this skeleton, everyone understood that it wasnt that he disappeared, but he elerated to an extreme limit in a small amount of time, ready to let his speed break outpletely anytime. Right, this green skeleton was a soul powerhouse, a powerful entity guarding the second floor. And after everyone reached the second floor, their genuine air battle instructor was him. That was a powerful skeleton with an excellent affinity with wind. Seeing him, everyone including Long Haochen shivered. They had been in the past abused quite severely by this green skeleton. His monstrous speed remained fresh in their memories. Long Haochen respectfully performed a standard knight salute in front of this green skeleton, before expanding the four wings on his back, and letting the powerful Holy Fire soar around him. In the Swamps of Gloom, the eleventh and the twelfth holy guards used their own strength and battle tactics to prove their value, and just like Lin Xin said, Long Haochen already made his preparations to subdue this powerful skeleton which was most likely the Tenth Holy Guard, thus increasing the strength of their team. In front of these extremely fast Saw Skates, the utility of the Tenth Holy Guard would undoubtedly be massive. This was at the core of the ns Long Haochen had in mind. It was something that came to his mind when Long Haochen and hisrades discussed a countermeasure for the situation. Right at the instant Long Haochens body strided forward, the green skeleton made his move. With an indescribable sight, he appeared at an extreme speed, as if crushing everyones scenery the instant he moved. Even in the previous battle, everyone relied almost only on their instincts and perception when learning air battle tactics with him, because their eyes were simply unable to keep up with the green skeletons moves. From this, it could be seen how terrifying his speed was. With a dim sh of green light, his back faced the back of Long Haochen, following with a standard assassin double backstab aimed backwards, aiming for Long Haochens ribs. That green skeleton didnt even turn back, simply holding his daggers in the opposite direction. At the same time as he acted, Long Haochen also moved. He actually didnt attempt to dodge, but aimed a backstab backward just like the green skeleton. Only, his was with a single sword and not two. Before the instant of sh with the green skeleton, the Rippling Light in his left hand was already gripped backwards. Chapter 430 - Cai’er’s Seven Arts of the God of Death (I)

Chapter 430: Caiers Seven Arts of the God of Death (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The green skeleton was indeed moving at extreme speed. Long Haochen understood well that if he tried to avoid it, he would be caught in his opponents rhythm, and after that, winning would be really hard. Thus, he might as well not escape but stake everything on an attempt to resist. The speed of the green skeleton was really terrifying. Once it got used to the pattern of Long Haochens movements, the pair of daggers in its hands suddenly erupted. Producing two sshes of green light, they stabbed at Long Haochens armor before actually stopping the assault, pping the six wings on its back downwards to rise up to the sky. Afterwards, its left foot aimed a kick at the back of Long Haochens head. If the red skeleton known as the Twelfth Holy Guard could be said to be moving as freely as clouds in the sky, then this one was like a green bolt of lightning, moving absurdly fast. Matching his speed was unthinkable to anyone present there. Long Haochen didnt have these thoughts at all either, and the wings on his back pped to theleft, causing his body to make an instant turn. Then his four wings came to a sudden stop, and his head moved backwards, forcibly colliding against the green skeleton. With a light sound, Long Haochen felt his body shaking, while the green skeleton fell back softly. Right, exactly because of his monstrous speed, the skeleton could only be described as ordinary in attack and defense. After Long Haochens external spiritual energy got strengthened multiple times, it reached a considerable level, at least on par with the level of his internal spiritual energy. In some sense, he appeared simply like a demon. From bathing in the Devil Dragon cores or his recent boost of power stemming from Haoyues evolution, Long Haochen obtained a considerably tough body. Thus, upon shing directly, he actually suffered no loss. At the same time, he finally managed to seize an opportunity for himself. Sinceing here, he didnt have the intention to train inbat with the green skeleton, but to thoroughly defeat him, and gain his services. The Aria of the Goddess of Light chopped forward. From his blow in midair, everyone could sense Long Haochens changes. He didnt look like a man anymore, but gave the impression of being a congregation of stars, as if everything was in his grasp. Everyone clearly saw Long Haochen disappear right afterpleting this sword strike, leaving only an inexhaustible sword intent in the air. A sword intentbining his sword intent, sword heart and sword technique. After the battle against AhBao, Long Haochensprehension regarding sword intent increased to a new level, and this sword strike seemed not to leave the slightest trace. It instantly appeared and dealt a decisive checkmate against its opponent. That instant, the lightning-like green skeleton came to a forceful standstill in midair. It had no choice but to stop, because if it kept moving forward, it was very likely that the following instant, Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light would slice through it. And that blow full of sword intent wasnt something its body could bear. With a dim flicker of light, Long Haochens eyes revealed an expression full of conviction. Even Long Haochen didnt expect his attack which used his sword heart to be of such importance. The Aria of the Goddess of Light seemed to be letting out a cheerful sound. This burst of sword intent was truly overwhelming, to the extent that the power of the Aria of the Goddess of Light seemed to be fully used by long Haochen right then. A terrible sword intent filled the air, and the nimble green skeleton was locked by the sword intent. Even if Long Haochen wasnt able to know his ever-changing location, that green skeleton was trapped in a web. Right then, a golden figure appeared noiselessly at Long Haochens back. Immediately, two resonant dragon cries echoed, gushing out with tworge pirs of light from Long Haochens back, heading straight at this green skeleton. Dual Dragons of Light and Rain, one of Long Haochens past offensive techniques, finally reappeared in the battlefield. Right, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light resurrected. After Caier lost her memories, Yating told Long Haochen right after recovering her spiritual energy that Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which was Long Haochens most powerful weapon went through aplete resurrection, and was now back to being Long Haochens weapon. However, Long Haochen already had Rippling Light as secondary weapon, so he didnt immediately take it out, until now when it was suddenly reused. The powerful binding ability of Dual Dragon of Light and Rain gained in strength with Long Haochen and Yating, immediately ying a decisive role. A dense golden color noiselessly bound the shoulder of the green skeleton, leaving it unable to move. And Long Haochens eyes were staring fixedly at it. Right, even without using the Dual Dragons of Light and Rain, Long Haochen had certainty toe victorious against this green skeleton. But if he did so, he wasnt able to guarantee that this green skeleton would be unharmed. After all, its speed was really great, and without powerful battle techniques, stopping it would prove to be hard. Long Haochens unyielding sword intent would very possibly tear its body to shreds. Although this wouldnt kill it for real, this green skeleton would need a long time to be nurtured by the Eternal Melody to possibly recoverpletely. And Long Haochen needed its strength right now, so he wasnt willing to wait for its recovery. Thus, this battle was nned with utmost care. After the green skeleton passed a short amount of time in stupor, the gaudy green light in its eyes gradually darkened, and bowing down, it dered to Long Haochen, The Tenth Holy Guard salutes Master. With a glint of green light, it instantly broke free from the Dual Dragons of Light and Rain, entering the Eternal Melody on Long Haochens chest. Showing a smile, Long Haochen aplished his first goal. With the help of this green skeleton in battle, his ns were a lot closer topletion. The blue and gold Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, appeared calmly in midair. Seeing it, Long Haochen felt a great sense of familiarity. This heavy sword was connected to him by a blood contract! After recovering the Rippling Light and the Aria of the Goddess of Light, Long Haochen waved his hand, calling Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light toe to his hand. To his surprise, the contract linking him to this heavy sword seemed to have strengthened since its resurrection. And the aura spreading from the sword was iparable to before, as if it had evolved to some extent, reaching the level of an authentic Legendary Tier weapon. This ability to evolve was one of the strongest areas of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Sensing the aquatic feeling from it, he slowly came to understand the changes on it. It resulted from their contract, the contract between the man and his sword. As his understanding on sword intent increased, the eptance of any sword in his hand increased. The others watched fixedly, and although they stayed silent, the looks on their faces gained fervour. As their captain was growing stronger and stronger, they felt more and more distance between them. But this discouraged no one in the team, because as Long Haochens growth continued, their growth was also guaranteed. Everyone had this clear feeling. Long Haochens strength was certainly growing fast, but along with that, the advantages they would gain would keep increasing, and he would show no reservations to share them with his teammates. Thus, the others were not only having no feeling of jealousy regarding his gain of strength, but also wished for him to keep growing stronger and stronger. With such a captain, what they aimed to do was to follow Long Haochen in his footsteps, letting themselves be as close to him as possible. Lets keep going. Long Haochens voice pulled everyone back from their train of thoughts, revealing a great surprise on their faces. The green skeleton called the Tenth Holy Guard was already subdued, so why continue? Didnt that mean to aim straight for the goal of conquering thest trial on this second floor of the Tower of Eternity? With the Tenth Holy Guard swearing allegiance to him, the distant sculpture became clearer to their eyes. Without a doubt, only onest test remained on the second floor. Long Haochen turned around and exined, I am confident that after passing thisst trial, we will keep encountering powerful enemies in session inside of the Swamps of Gloom. We will even have to confront the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius afterwards, the Tower of Eternity is our only means to gain strength immediately. If I am not mistaken, we are going to face the Ninth Holy Guard next. If his ability is as I guessed, in thend of death that the Swamps of Gloom are, he will be of massive help to us. Boss, lets do it. Sima Xian showed their captain his clenched fists. Long Haochen revealed a slight smile, before spreading out the four wings on his back, and reverting Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his left hand. His right hand glinted with a hint of gold, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light reappeared in his grasp. It could be said that currently, Long Haochen was at his peak state of equipment. From the huge dual sword in his hands alone, even if one were to only look at him, they would sense the terrifying offensive power from it. Slowly advancing by flight, Long Haochen regained a calm demeanor. That was because that blow right before, filled with inexhaustible sword intent, produced a particr burst of insight. Although this insight was still unclear, he clearly understood that hisprehension on sword intent gained anotheryer, and that he was already close to the boundary the Divine Sword Wielder Ye Wushang attained in the past. This could be seen from the approval of the Aria of the Goddess of Light towards him. Chapter 431 - Cai’er’s Seven Arts of the God of Death (II)

Chapter 431: Caiers Seven Arts of the God of Death (II)

The massive sculpture gradually became more distinct. Shaped the same as the one on the first floor, it gave the group the same impression of having reached the end of the floor, if not for the wide environment of fog and mist all around. The sculpture of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux floated there, as if the clouds and mist were carrying its weight. In front of it was a tall skeleton, sitting cross-legged. This skeleton was entirely yellow colored. When Long Haochens group closed in, faint radiances of yellow light started to be emitted from his body. Long Haochens eyes were filled with surprise, they were indeed confronted with the Ninth Holy Guard, soul of a powerhouse, whose attribute was as he expected. The earth element! Although Long Haochen didnt know why the Slumbering Cmity Elux would install an earth elemental holy guard to conduct the final aerial battle of this floor, his vignce was even higher than before, when he fought against the green skeleton. If not for his identity of necromancer, Long Haochen had no choice but to admit that he would cheerfully submit to the Slumbering Cmity Elux. An ancestor who set up a miraculous ce such as the Tower of Eternity, that retained such great ability even after ten thousand years. Just what level of knowledge was needed to attain this?! Being an intelligent boy, he reached the conclusion that if Elux waspared to himself,his current self was far below him, far too negligible to evenpare. And thus, he waspletely sure that Elux certainly had his own reasons to ce a user of the earth attribute as thest test of the second floor. Eluxs sculpture remained unmoving, sitting there and seemingly gazing at everyone. Only the earth elemental yellow skeleton stood up from its cross-legged position. Its height was very close to the red skeleton, the Twelfth Holy Guard, but its build appeared sturdier, and the shoulders were wider. This gave it an overwhelmingly steady frame, as if standing as firm as a mountain. A faint yellow radiance lit up on its back, revealing two spreading yellow bone wings, keeping its body floating in mid-air. A glittering yellow radiance suddenly ignited in its two dim white colored eyes. Right, they were white, and not yellow. Long Haochen was shocked, and a lot of thoughts immediately came to his mind. This yellow skeleton was visibly not weak in strength, and perhaps already surpassed the seventh step! As he was in deep thoughts, the two hands of the yellow skeletons moved simultaneously, creating a yellow barrier in front of Long Haochen. The soft energy it was emanating pushed him ten meters away. Then, that yellow radiance was followed by a wave, sweeping everything away. It not only enveloped him, but also Haoyue and the others at his back. That instant, the clouds and mist covering the whole second floor turned yellow. A hard to describe terrible and massive energy suddenly appeared in the air, frantically pulling them downwards. Gravity. Long Haochen instantly understood the ability used by this yellow skeleton. This should be the lost Gravity Techniques, used in ancient times by earth mages. The wings on Long Haochens back frantically pped in an attempt to steady his posture. But this gravity was even stronger than he expected, and even with over 14,000 units of spiritual energy, he was still unable to stay firm, and was still pulled downwards little by little. On the other side, Haoyue had even more difficulties, given his massive and extremely heavy body, which fell a lot faster. By chance, the others with the exception of Caier reacted quickly, holding Haoyues body up while releasing their own spiritual wings, to help him resist the huge gravity. This barely prevented Haoyue from falling down. The expression in the eyes of the yellow skeleton was somewhat cold and indifferent, only watching these people in silence through his soulfire. It disyed a visible sense of pride. It was something that wasnt seen in the three previous holy guards. And right now, this yellow skeleton visibly felt disdain to act against them. In its opinion, Long Haochen and hisrades were already unable to resist against the gravity. And it was indeed the case: Long Haochen clearly felt that his own spiritual energy was being depleted at an astonishing speed. If this went on, hisrades and he himself would fall into the first floor of the Tower of Eternity before long, but more importantly, the consumption of spiritual energy from hisrades was unrecoverable in the Tower of Eternity, which would affect their future ns. Haoyue, bring them back to the first floor! Their ns were going to be affected at this rate, so Long Haochen promptly came to this decision. He still had some trump cards, but was hesitating on whether to use them or not, since he would need some time to recover afterwards. But right this moment, a grey radiance suddenly appeared in his view. Although sparkling, that grey light wasnt bright, and seemed to fill the air with grey luster. A pair of ck wings pped on her back, carrying this sparkling grey radiance, as Caiers wings glittered like snowkes. She was unexpectedly unaffected by the changes in gravity. Appearing instantly in front of that yellow skeleton, she swept the Scythe of the God of Death which emanated a sh of coldness, aiming for the yellow skeleton. All of this happened so sudden and fast, that although Caiers body was still iparable to the green skeleton called the Tenth Holy Guard, it was stilling close to a certain level. Without a doubt, the yellow skeleton was filled with more human emotions than the other three holy guards. It had pride, self-satisfaction, and was full of self-confidence. In its view, these opponents didnt match its strength and wouldnt be able to resist against the gravity technique. But conversely, his arrogance was also its biggest weakness. Caiers body was unaffected by the gravity, and the instant she started her high speed flight, the yellow skeleton felt as if the whole air was split apart. The next instant, an overflowing killing intent appeared in front of it. Long Haochen was massively astonished. Never did he expect Caier to intervene so suddenly,pletely negating the threat brought by the gravity technique. When Caier wielded the Scythe of the God of Death, the coldness in her eyes made him think that she regained her memories. This shook and pleased Long Haochen even more than the massive offensive powering from Caiers attack.?Is Caier my Caier back? Feeling his eyes warming up, some liquid started to leak from Long Haochens eyes. The yellow skeleton was as expected powerful. Caiers arrival was very sudden, but its pride wasnt baseless either. While drawing back, it erected an earth wall without any warning, and although it was almost crushed by the Scythe of the God of Death, it still adapted promptly. But right that instant, the powerful killing intent emitted from Caiers body disappeared without a trace. For some time, the yellow skeleton stared nkly, but its movements didnte to a stop. It was as if its battle instincts were engraved deep into its bones. At any time, it was thinking of the next move, and its instinct was on the move before everything else. Itsrge and strong hands suddenly came together, and immediately, a yellow barrier spread aroungd it. This seemed a bit like the Resisting Fire Ring of a fire mage, but its spell covered all directions, and was visibly a lot stronger. Being an earth spell of the sixth step, itbined both attack and defense as one. And furthermore, never forget that it was done instantly. But Caiers pitch-ck figure appeared noiselessly behind its back the instant the spell waspleted. A sparkling grey color suddenly shed out in midair, followed immediately by a splitting noise. The Scythe of the God of Death let out mournful hissing sounds, forced by its wielder into the small cracks. Immediately, the character for death () appeared on the body of that yellow skeleton, in a sparkling gray color. Her ck figure passed in a sh, before the surrounding powerful gravity disappearedpletely. When Caier regained her footing on Haoyues back, the murderous intent emanating from her body disappeared, and all that remained was herrge blinking eyes, looking doubtful. It was as if she had no idea of what she just did. Everyone was staring somewhat nkly, even Haoyue. Expressions of extreme shock filled the eyes on his fiverge heads. The grey word of Death gradually disappeared, and the yellow skeleton reappeared in front of everyone. It was only that the yellow mes in its eyes had stopped pulsing, and the next instant, its body fell apart, turning into yellow dust that dissipated in the sky. A yellow sh of light appeared, and the body of the yellow skeleton formed anew. It was only that this time, it was a lotrger than that of the eleventh and the twelfth holy guard at the time Long Haochens group cleared the first floor. No less than a quarter of an hourter, the figure of the yellow skeleton recondensed. It was just that the yellow me in its eyes was a lot weaker than before. He looked with some fright at Caier who was standing on Haoyue,pletely at a loss about the situation. Shortly staying still, it seemed like a frightened human recovering its own wits. Then the guard bowed down before Long Haochen. Master, the Ninth Holy Guard is willing to serve you. Compared to the other three holy guards, this ones voice was a lot clearer, only somewhat weak. After his voice echoed, this Ninth Holy Guard re-transformed into a ball of yellow light, flying directly at Long Haochen, and merging back with the Eternal Melody. Producing a burst of heat, the Eternal Melody kept shing with a golden radiance on Long Haochens chest. Long Haochen could sense that it was as though this Ninth Holy Guard was restoring himself through the energy contained in the Eternal Melody. This situation appeared before when the eleventh and the twelfth holy guard sustained heavy damage, but it wasnt so distinct during those times. From this, the severity of the damage inflicted by Caier could be seen. Even the Tower of Eternity was unable topletely restore the skeletons body. Then the words that Ye Xiaolei told Long Haochen behind surfaced to his mind. Chapter 432 - Cai’er’s Seven Arts of the God of Death (III)

Chapter 432: Caiers Seven Arts of the God of Death (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Being the one chosen by the God of Death, Caiers inheritance contained the transcending strength of the God of Death, whose power surpassed any other being. It seemed as if the soul of this yellow skeleton called the Ninth Holy Guard sustained quite heavy wounds. Thus he appeared so dispirited. How could Caiers strength have reached such a terrifying level? Just then, during herst attack, it was undoubtedly the strength she obtained through her awakening as a gods chosen one that surfaced. This seemed to be a technique, yet didnt resemble one. Ever since the Dagger of Samsara changed into the Scythe of the God of Death, which became Caiers primary weapon, Long Haochen was unable to assess her actual strength. But on herst attack, when he asked himself whether he would be able to resist if the one she attacked with that force was him, he reached the conclusion that it would not only need him to go all out and exert the full power of his sword intent, but even to borrow strength from the Goddess of Light to do so. This way, it would be possible for him to resist, but without certainty. It wasnt that Caiers strength was higher than Long Haochens, quite the opposite, her current strength was still quite below Long Haochen. However, Caiers spiritual stove and the weapon in her hand were just too formidable. When transforming into the Scythe of Death, the Dagger of Samsara became a genuine divine artifact. Even after awakening, Caier was presently still unable to bring out its real might. pping the four wings on his back, Long Haochen joined Caiers side, Caier, how are you feeling? Are you all right? Given how she just used such a powerful ability, Long Haochen was afraid of the bacsh she might have suffered. Caier murmured, Seven Arts of the God of Death, first art, Premature Death. Long Haochen took a deep breath. He understood that these Seven Arts of the God of Death were simr to her past uses of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, only even more powerful. Not giving him the time to keep questioning her, Caier raised her head to look at him, I am all right. I have just been feeling a bit constrained just before, and then it became like that. Then I got the feeling that if I kept using that power, I would lose something in return. By chance, he was handled in one move. Long Haochen understood Caier well, and hearing this exnation, he finally rxed, while starting to somewhat understand the secret behind these Seven Arts of the God of Death. Caier, listen to me. Long Haochen gave her a very serious look, grabbing her shoulders with his hands, now devoid of the two swords he retrieved just before, The power you used just before cannot be used rashly. And even if you use it, you cannot use any other move than the one you just have used before. Understood? Otherwise, you will be in danger of losing your six senses. Its only your first use that will be without bacsh, and this is only due to the effects of the spiritual stove fused with your body. But still, never use it without precaution unless it is absolutely thest means, do you understand? Seeing the troubled look on Long Haochens face, Caier immediately felt somewhat tepid, nodding earnestly. Deep inside, she began reflecting on the extent of the power she just used, having some faint understanding of it. At least, she began knowing this ability of hers even better after her loss of memories. Right at this time, the sculpture before them suddenly lit up, spreading a soft golden radiance. As ifing to life, that sculpture exuded massive fluctuations of spiritual energy, causing everyone to feel tremendous pressure. Congrattions, my child. The trials of the second floor are all cleared. You may keep going on, I will be waiting for you at the final test. Since you passed the second floor, you have enough ability to defend yourself, but to really seed my inheritance, your current strength is far from sufficient. You will need to be a lot stronger, and even more determined. Only with the resolution to keep pressing forward will you be able to reach the other shore. I will be waiting there for you. On your following journey, you will have to go upwards with your own strength. Before you reach the sixth floor, I wont give you any other reward than the holy guards you conquer. I firmly believe that you will make it to my side. Pop. A golden pir of light abruptly appeared, and as if piercing the floor, it passed through the boundary of this second floor, bing the way to the third floor. Seeing that straight pir of light, Long Haochen felt somewhat disappointed. He originally believed that since there was no boost to their spiritual energy on this floor, they would at least find some equipment as reward. But things didnt turn out as he wished, and he finally didnt gain any other reward than the two holy guards. However, his disappointment onlysted for a little moment. Quickly, Long Haochen felt relieved. As the saying goes, give man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime. On this second floor, they already learned about aerial battle. Wasnt this even more important than equipment? Furthermore, with the assistance from the two holy guards, thebined strength of their team already surpassed the overwhelming majority of the king grade Demon Hunt Squads. Of course, that earth elemental Ninth Holy Guard still needed some time of recovery to regain the ability to battle. At the time he was facing Caier just before, his strength was visibly not even brought outpletely. It was just that all his abilities were restrained by Caiers overwhelming Scythe of the God of Death. Together with the underestimation of his enemy, the final result was his defeat by Caiers Seven Arts of the God of Death. The Swamps of Gloom were still as dark, and as night was nearing, the poisonous marsh gas in the air became heavier and heavier. Theke where the Saw Skates were living was perhaps the only purend out there. Ripples frequently appeared on the surface of this clear water,posed of pure minerals. Thiske wasnt very deep, only roughly two or three meters. If one were to look down at theke from the surface, he would find that some faint silver light asionally shed downwards. Although the Saw Skates looked fierce, they were actually herbivorous magical beasts, with no interest in meat. The abundant water nts in theke, as well as the soft vines prospering in this environment were their favorite food. At times they would need to eat, Saw Skates would feed in groups. Taking the shape of flickers of silver light, they cut some tough vines into pieces, before disappearing. Their feeding time generally didntst long, because they were just too fast, and once they left, theke would regain its calm. The hierarchy in amunity of Saw Skates wasnt determined the same way as among ordinary magical beasts. The size of the silver chunk of skin on their back determined the difference in power. Thus, the Saw Skates with the brightest silver color were the stronger ones out of the lot. Matured Saw Skates were magical beasts of the eighth rank, among which those with particr talent would have the hope to reach the ninth rank. And their king was an authentic magical beast of the tenth rank, powerful enough to make a Forest Boa King cower before it. This was one of the true kings in the Swamps of Gloom. A dim light quietly appeared in a distance from the Saw Skates location, covering approximately two meters in diameter. Immediately, one figure after another emerged from it, immediately releasing their spiritual wings. Long Haochen pointed at the sky, and everyone followed him up there. This time, he didnt release his Holy Mantle to dispel the poison in its range for everyone. A Holy Mantle would undoubtedly increase their consumption marginally, but with that, they wouldnt need to stay gathered so closely anymore. Long Haochen nodded to everyone, and the group rapidly scattered in the fog. Red, blue and green radiances appeared in front of Long Haochen the next instant, bowing before him. Long Haochen then murmured some words in the ears of the green skeleton. The Tenth Holy Guard nodded in response, and with a p of the six wings at his back, flew forward like a green bolt of lightning. At this time, on Long Haochens side, only Caier, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan were present. Chen Yinger wasnt part of this operation and Lin Xin and Han Yu were nowhere to be seen. Haoyue also flew away right after appearing, not even using his ability of poison resistance. He was together with Lin Xin and Han Yu as they went off. Long Haochen nodded to the three and the Eleventh and Twelfth Holy Guard at his side. Prepare to begin the n. Meanwhile, he slowly raised the two heavy swords in his hands, which gradually turned white, while he entered a mystical state. They were about twenty meters high in the air, which was the highest altitude an ordinary Saw Skates could reach. This was something Long Haochen determined in the previous battle. The clearke serving as dwelling ce of the Saw Skates was already calming down, and as nightfall was nearing, the Saw Skates in the water were calming down. They were already past their meal time, and the overwhelming majority was fast asleep. Saw Skates were a kind of magical beasts which was very fond of sleeping, and although their offense was tremendous, their notion of territory was even more important. They wouldnt easily leave their resting ce, unless encountering a situation like the appearance of Long Haochens group here. Haoyues attack had undoubtedly been seen as the greatest provocation to them, raising a situation of no-death-no-rest. But to their misfortune, with the use of the mysterious power of teleportation of Long Haochens Eternal Melody, they lost their target. Even if they had even worse tempers, what could they do to vent without any target? After ruining the surrounding vegetation, they finally returned in anger to theke. But right in that instant, another unwee guest appeared. A hidden figure noiselessly appeared thirty meters away from theke. Its silhouette was concealed right behind vines, disclosing no trace of its presence nor any sound of breath. A blue gleam pulsed in the soulfire in his eye, sweeping over everything ahead. After he stopped shortly, the blue gleam in his eyes suddenly pointed down, as if sending a signal. After spending a short time pondering, the previously seen pair of strange daggers appeared in the hands of the Tenth Holy Guard. As his figure shed, the six wings on his back pped, and he took an instant to reach the side of theke. The daggers in his hands were crossed in the movement, as two bolts of green light flew dimly at the limpidke. Those two green lights produced ear-piercing shrieks, sharply bursting in one instant on the surface of the water. They werent aiming at the insides of theke, but only at the surface. Immediately, a green tornado of a diameter exceeding one meter appeared above the clearke. Chapter 433 - Saw Skate King (I)

Chapter 433: Saw Skate King (I)

Trantor: GravityTales _Bang!_ An immense pir of whiter sshed across, and along with it, some deep asleep Saw Skates swirled. One could see clearly that a green tornado made out of water, and erupting with a gaudy green light above theke. The surrounding water appeared to be pulled along, unexpectedly turning into a whirlpool. The Tenth Holy Guard didnt stop and leave it at that, but let out a terrible hiss instead. Two green lights flickered in the air, and the two daggers were once again waved, producing green glints as another tornado aimed for theke. The result was catastrophic. Afar, dozens glints of silver light abruptly shed, rushing at the Tenth Holy Guard like silver bolts of lightning. The green soulfire in the eyes of the green skeleton pulsed downwards, and with a dexterous movement, he avoided the silver light closest to him. Immediately, he used his actions to show these Saw Skates his aerial supremacy. Seemingly totally unaffected by the gravity, his green figure made nine flips in the air, escaping every attack of a Saw Skate by a hairs breadth. And furthermore, it was only at a height of three meters. In the midst of a dense green light, the Saw Skates that were frantically chasing after the green figure were already above hundred. However, even though they vastly outnumbered him, and moved at such speed, they were still unable to get hold of the Tenth Holy Guard. In speed, the Tenth Holy Guard was extremely confident. Unless encountering a powerhouse of the ninth step that could take control of the whole area, his speed was at its maximum. With the addition of his unpredictable movements, he managed to often avoid the attacks of the Saw Skates by a fraction, while slowly getting further and further away from their area. He didnt leave at a fast speed, but he lured arge number of Saw Skates. The wind and spatial spiritual energy flowing in the air was iparably fierce, scattering and smashing away the poisonous fog of the swamps. The ability of the Saw Skates to get rid of any impurity came out perfectly. The poisonous fog was devoid of power in front of them, and every time their encirclement was about to overwhelm the Tenth Holy Guard, he broke out of it like a bolt of green lightning in the end. The Saw Skates were indignant, it was the first time they were confronted with such a provocation. But even more importantly, their offender escaped from all their attempts of encirclement. The dim green light switched to a steady flight, finally flying straight after having continuously dodged the attacks. At this time ,the full speed of the Tenth Holy Guard emerged. It took only an instant for him to create some distance between himself and the chasing Saw Skates. With a sweep of green light, he disappeared in a blink of an eye. The group of Saw Skates was still frantically chasing after him, but were helpless as they saw the green light gaining distance. How is it that it turned out the same as this afternoon? Saw Skates were unable to howl, but the killing intent spreading out from them was real. The surrounding vines once again became their victims. After a continuous devastation, seeing that they were unable to keep going after that green figure, they resignedly returned to their habitat. Their returning speed would naturally not be as fast as when chasing after the enemy. One could see that the majority was flying over at a greatly inferior speed. But suddenly, two chains of bright golden color appeared from nowhere. That dense golden scenery in the air was simr to bright fireworks, and in its midst, a shade was heading straight at the rear of the group of Saw Skates. Over ten meter long, that shade had an indefinite appearance, but the instant she appeared, all the surrounding poisonous gas in the Swamps of Gloom was dispersed, and only an endless pure and holy light remained. It was as if the sun had descended onto thisnd of death, clearing away all the filth therein. The green figure that descended was rapidly swirling, like a meat grinder, engulfing at least a dozen Saw Skates in golden light. All of this happened just too sudden. Although the attack power of the Saw Skates was great, their perception was only average. When they discovered something was wrong, they were already drawn in that mass. Immediately, an immense ball of light burst out in the sky, and the surrounding illumination gained even further in brilliance. Meanwhile, the two figures dropped to the side simultaneously, causing two booms to ring out one after another. On one side was a gaudy silver radiance, and on the other, an immense shield, carrying four lumps of spatial crystal. Inside that gaudy silver light, the shield was rotating at high speed, releasing a silver spiral of ten meters diameter. As it knocked into arge area of returning Saw Skates, the light radiance on the other side gained in terror. The resplendent golden color mixed with terrible purple lightning, descended like a gigantic bolt of lightning, smashing against a Saw Skate. That gigantic golden ball took merely an instant to smash another one of the Saw Skates, extinguishing its life energy just like that. Right at this time, the Saw Skates in the front showed their responses, counterattacking madly with bursts of silver light. However, at this time, the ball of light that was ascending before, finally fell, weing the returning Saw Skates. Gaudy bright light became the main ground, and in the midst of violent sounds, the ground shook, vines quivered, and the Saw Skates were scattered in all directions by the seismic force of an intense elemental explosion. This led to a very special situation. That huge fallen meteor engulfed at least thirty of the Saw Skates, separating the Saw Skates that were attacked by surprise before and the onesing for the rescue in two groups. It perfectly formed a sessful block aimed against the silver figures that wereing to rescue the others. Silvery light flickered in the sky repeatedly, while Long Haochen arrived with the Aria of the Goddess of Light. His spiritual energy was already focused to its greatest level, therge golden silhouette forming his greatest reliance. Each blow of his was backed by the judgement of the descended goddess of light, a terrible existence beyond imagination. Caught off guard, the Saw Skates could only rely on the spatial element to barely protect themselves, and still had yet to identify all the enemies. A blue and a red figure appeared this time, bursting with powerful attacks and great might. When the Saw Skates caught in the golden spiral would get thrown off, they would already appearpletely covered in bruises, making them into extremely easy targets. After unleashing their first attacks, Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan still had no reservation, letting the entirety of their strength break out. The fused Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder was wielded alongside the Gigantic Ball of Light. Given how terrible Sima Xians strength became, when his weapon would sh against the opponents, they would be renderedpletely helpless, shing against the weapon as if attracted by it. The Saw Skates showed powerful offensive power, but the Gigantic Ball of Light was just too overwhelming. That was a Legendary Tier weapon, supported by triple exploding abilities. In front of the Crush ability, they became unable to resist, while damaging the Gigantic Ball of Light was an impossible feat to them. The Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder was a perfectplement to the Energetic Ball of Light since everything caught inside of the purple thunder would get stunned for a short instant. Even if the Saw Skates were magical beasts of the eighth rank, taking on the Gigantic Ball of Light was impossible, and could only result in tragedy for them. The more terrible aspect of the Saw Skates was still theirmunitarianism. The degree of terror from magical beasts of the eighth step living as a group was immense, but individually, their most powerful aspect remained their offensive power. Their defense and technique was almost non-existent, and when ambushed with the calcted attacks from Long Haochens group, it took only a short while for more than a dozen Saw Skates to perish. However, Yating unleashed Light Meteor right at this moment, resulting in the disappearance of even more of the Saw Skates that were rushing towards their direction. Long Haochen, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan were lit in golden color, from the sharing of damage that came with the Soul Linking Chains. It wasnt that they were really injured by the Saw Skates, but produced due to the sh with them. In case they were inflicted a direct attack from the Saw Skates, even with the protection of the Goddess of Light, Long Haochen wouldnt have stayed unharmed. Withdraw! Long Haochen gave a loud shout, while a white glow illuminated the area, sucking in the corpses of the Saw Skates in the air. Long Haochens group of three spread their spiritual wings, and rose high in the air. During their escape, the two holy guards became a convenient diversion for them. At the moment Long Haochens group of three managed to get away, they turned into two bolts of light, returning into the Eternal Melody. Taking no pause, Long Haochens group of three madly rushed away, while trying as best as possible to remain at a high altitude. Right at this time, some change seemed to have urred, as theke on the other side suddenly started boiling. Immediately, a thick silvery light shot out, at a speed exceeding even the Tenth Holy Guard. The instant it starting flying in their direction, its body disappeared without any trace, appearing in a blink of an eye hundreds meters away. That was instant teleportation. The instant this silver light appeared, snapping noises resounded, spreading out in the whole surrounding. The next instant, a series of cracks urred in session. Even more terrifyingly, the entirety of the surrounding poison turned silver, appearing as if nothing else than spatial attribute spiritual energy remained. The worse situation Long Haochens group anticipated had happened. This group of Saw Skates indeed had a king amongst them. Long Haochens group had seeded in performing a sneak attack and kill a little more than a dozen Skates. However, it infuriated this Saw Skate King, who was now retaliating. Chapter 434 - Saw Skate King (II)

Chapter 434: Saw Skate King (II)

Trantor: GravityTales s Right, Saw Skates didnt have the ability of flight, but with the use of his spatial teleportation ability, the Saw Skate King directly appeared in midair, beforeshing therge tail on its back, just like an arrow aimed from afar. Being a powerful magical beast of the tenth rank, it was one of the rulers in these swamps, who of course had his own methods to lock down the location of Long Haochen and the other two. And furthermore, it took only three shes for him to have Long Haochens group in sight. However, also right that instant, the dashing figure of the Saw Skate King came to a sudden stop. Abruptly turning back, it gave a look to its dwelling ce in the opposite direction. Because of this sudden freeze, the appearance of this Saw Skate King became visible. Its looks were simr to ordinary Saw Skates, which were close to fishes in this regard. On its head was arge horn, with a sharp de glinting in silverlight on each of its two sides. The light emitted from it was even deeper in color than mythril, and even brighter than gold essence. Also, the radianceing out from its body was colored with a mixture of green and silver. From its abdomen, two kinds of wings stuck out. These kinds of wings were still not enough to enable it to fly, but allowed it to glide. Being a powerful magical beast that went through countless evolutions to adapt themselves to the changes of the external world, the Saw Skates genes were already not the same anymore, exining why this Saw Skate would be capable of gliding. After thousands of years, who could be certain that they would still be unable to grow wings. Behind its horn, the two eyes of the Saw Skate King looked soft and thin, revealing a gloomy expression. Its two eyes were scrunched, letting out a bewildered look. Upon reaching its level, a magical beast would have considerable intelligence. Toward Long Haochens provocation, it was of course acting on behalf of its brothers, but right when it was about to chase after Long Haochens bunch, it suddenly had a huge sense of crisis. This feeling of crisis wasnt directed at him, but at his kins habitat. A resonant phoenix cry rang out in the air, and a massive blue me took flight in the horizon. It was because of its existence that the Saw Skate King hade to a sudden stop. The next instant, another spatial teleportation urred, this time not aimed at chasing after Long Haochens group, but in the direction of its home. These three were certainly hateful, butpared to the habitat they had built for the past thousands of years, they were nothing significant. That dazzling blue me was already perceived as a major threat in the senses of the Saw Skate King. In case it was let inside of theke, the consequences werent anything he dared imagine. However, this move came an instant toote in the end. The instant the Saw Skate King teleported itself in the range of theke, a blue phoenix was already falling inside, making way in the clearke. As a sharp cry came out from the mouth of the Saw Skate King, its body shed, entering theke. But that instant, the water inside was boiling intensely. In total panic, arge amount of Saw Skates came out from theke, which immediately turned blue. The sshed water evaporated at terrifying speed, and this originally not sorgeke decreased in size very rapidly, gradually revealing the wend originally concealed in theke. Shrieking in session, the Saw Skates anger reached its extreme point, but even then, he was still helpless in this situation. The Saw Skate King was a spatial and wind elemental magical beast, not an ice elemental one! What could it do to make the evaporating water cool down? By chance, this high temperature didnt remain for too long, and after theke lost a third of its size, the situation finally calmed down. Though, this was closely rted to the humidity level in this ce, if this happened outside of these swamps, the damage would be even more disastrous. But even so, the loss of a third of theke was definitely a very bad thing to this group of Saw Skates. Who knew how long it would take them to gather so much water back there. Thiske of clear water was not only used as their habitat, but also as a ce where arge amount of water nts were produced. And the first beneficiary of these water nts was the Saw Skate King! The water in theke was still boiling, so the Saw Skates became unwilling to move inside, and the water nts inside were most likely carried away by the boiling current. The Saw Skate King was still in motion, letting out bursts of spatial energy in the air, producing an immense silver, cutting the air apart. However, even if it was even more powerful, what could he aplish with air? This was no more than futile venting. In the air, Lin Xin was carried away by Han Yu, while Haoyue was waiting for them in the sky. Haoyue was thest trump card kept by Long Haochen, used as theirst rearguard and diversion. Long Haochen would have no difficulty to sense his whereabouts due to their blood contract, and to reunite with him. Currently, Lin Xin had a very pale face, dripping in sweat, but he still remained greatly excited. On this afternoon, they were chased like dogs by these Saw Skates, and there was nothing to say about their despair regarding that even. This could atst be seen as a good revenge. All of this went in ordance to their ns, formted mainly by Long Haochen, and improved with the help of everyone in the team. The three of Long Haochen, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan were to act as main assault force, with the help of the eleventh and twelfth holy guards. Their goal was to kill as many Saw Skates as possible. Baited out by the Tenth Holy Guard, the Saw Skates came out as expected, and Long Haochen was waiting in the air for of them to return to their habitat. At this time, their vignce would be at the lowest, while Long Haochens group was prepared with their power well preserved, having their greatest techniques ready to beunched. With the two holy guards and Yating, the three of them let out their greatest instantaneous burst of power, managing to kill some of the Saw Skates in an instant whose strength was their offense with considerableck of quality in defence. Yatings Light Meteor was decisive, seeding in cutting apart the whole group formed by the Saw Skates, and to shake arge amount of them, giving the other three plenty of time. And what followed was the climax. Long Haochen had Lin Xin and Han Yu leave in advance, making a detour from theke, to go to the other side, where the preparations for the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stove was prepared. Regardless of whether a Saw Skate King was present, when Long Haochens signal came, Lin Xin was prepared to act, baiting the greatest enemy force by the way. The one to transmit the signal was the Tenth Holy Guard who had attracted the Saw Skates just before. With the existence of the Eternal Melody, his connection with Long Haochen was preserved without a problem. After taunting the enemies at him, he went back to Lin Xin and Han Yu. The fact the Saw Skate King really appeared immediately rmed Lin Xin, who had no hesitation to use the phoenix of blue mes at full force, thus why he held nothing back in an all out attack with it. Then followed the sudden appearance of the terrible phoenix of blue mes, who aimed at the habitat of the Saw Skates. In front of the extremely imposing Phoenix of Blue mes, the Saw Skate King would have no choice but to confront it, but the results turned out even better than they imagined. The Saw Skate King did not go chase after them. Very rapidly, everyone gathered on Haoyues back, and his massive wings unfolded, bringing them through the poisonous gas as he flew afar. Until now, everyone didnt dare rx: the spatial teleportation ability of the Saw Skate King was just too fearful. Should he be determined to chase after them, confronting him wouldnt be easy for the group. Caier didnt join the battle from beginning to end, and remained as a hidden trump of Long Haochens. One reason was because Caier herself had yet to familiarize with her own ability, and the other because of the power of the Sickle of the God of Death. In case the Saw Skate King really decided to chase, perhaps Long Haochen and Caier would have to go all out in defence to give everyone the time to escape This was all hypothetical, and thinking any further about this was futile. As Haoyue was flying away from theke, everyone finally eased up from the nervousness they had inside. Lin Xin showed Long Haochen a thumbs up gesture, before shutting his eyes, suffering just like Sima Xian of the aftereffects from his spiritual stove. Han Yu dered with a smile, As expected, captain showed an incredible foresight. With the Phoenix of Blue mes aimed at their habitat, these Saw Skates really didnt dare chase us further, and chose to defend their own home. Long Haochen shook his head to respond, This operation was really perilous. The terror of this Saw Skate King went even above my expectations. Although at the time the three of them were chased by the Saw Skate King, they didnt have to cross hands for real, Long Haochen got to clearly sense the terror of the Saw Skate King. The spiritual energy in the air was all turned into spatial element, and even a gods chosen one such as him was unable to perceive any light essence. This signified that this Saw Skate King ought to surpass 200,000 units of spiritual energy, making it no ordinary magical beast of the tenth rank. In case such a powerhouse were to put its attention on them, escaping would be a very hard thing for them to do. Until they were safe, Long Haochens back was still dripping in sweat. Han Yu nodded, This time it was truly filled with great danger. Captain, should we get back to the Tower of Eternity to rest and reorganize? Long Haochen nodded, chanting with no hesitation. A soft golden radiance gradually lit up, enveloping everyone in its scope. Showing his dependability, Han Yu also released the ability from his own spiritual stove, enveloping all hisrades with it. All of a sudden, Long Haochens pupils contracted, and his incantation became hurried. In the meanwhile, Haoyue let out a roar, unleashing multicolored glints that covered everyone simultaneously. Immediately, his five heads were raised upwards and snarled, unleashing a terrifying and mystical penta colored radiance. Penta colored Essence of Disorder. A silvery light appeared in the air silently, shing against the penta colored Essence of Disorder that slightly dyed it. The next instant, Long Haochen and hisrades disappeared, already teleported as only a glint of light remained behind. Chapter 435 - Saw Skate King (III)

Chapter 435: Saw Skate King (III)

That dyed silver glint shook Haoyue with force, using the upper part of its horn, full of sinister intent. And on the previous location of Long Haochens group, countless silver glints appeared, frantically entangling in the air. The silvery silhouette disappeared in the air in the next instant, before reappearing three secondster. Its aim was to follow Long Haochens group using its spatial powers and kill them, but it unfortunately failed at its attempt. Right, the one chasing was precisely the Saw Skate King. Being a magical beast of the tenth rank, its perception was even more terrifying than what Long Haochens group could imagine. After the surrounding air was filled with spatial essence, everything in its scope was under his control. Having his habitat attacked, the Saw Skate King admittedly avoided taking risks, but after ensuring all his kin were safe, the Saw Skate King made a thorough search. After making sure that no other threat was present, the Saw Skate King chased after them, full of rancor. Whening at them, it even relied on repeated spatial teleportations. If Han Yus suggestion came a littleter, perhaps they would have been inflicted by the terrifying attack of the Saw Skate King. And the same would have happened if Long Haochens reaction was just a bit slower. And another important thing was that Haoyue had the quinary elemental Essence of Disorder prepared beforehand, which burst out instantly at this time, stalling some precious time for the group. At the time Long Haochen brought everyone back to the Tower of Eternity, he found out that the clothes inside his armor werepletely drenched in sweat. The instant right before was truly perilous. He sensed death being even closer to them in this adventure than the time they went up against AhBao. Even if AhBao was even stronger, he had yet to break through the ninth step, and those Demon Hunter Removers were the same. However, this Saw Skate King was not only equivalent to a human powerhouse of the ninth step, it was also an expert in offense. In case his attack really seeded, none of them would have made it out. In front of absolute strength, even divine tools would be helpless. The expressions on their faces were particrly unsightly, especially for Long Haochen whose fatal mistake could have been the reason for the death of their entire team. Everyone went silent, and everyone seemed drenched in sweat. No one would be fearless in front of death, especially when put in such a close distance from it. Long Haochen clenched his teeth tightly, remaining silent for a long time. Appearing dispirited, Haoyue was crawling on the floor. It was fortunate that at the time heunched Essence of Disorder, Han Yu had released the formidable power of the Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light, ensuring him a rapid recovery. Otherwise, his overdraft from the fric release of such a powerful spell would have be even greater. Essence of Disaster was originally an innate magic of Haoyue, with undoubtable power, but its weak point remained that no matter how strong Haoyue would be, unleashing this spell would still nearly exhaust all his spiritual energy. Still, that previous blow revealed the real strength Haoyue attained after evolving. When attacked by the penta elemental Essence of Disaster, even a powerhouse of the ninth step was dyed for over five seconds. A spatial attribute user such a the Saw Skate King was unable to struggle free from the effects of the spell, only keeping itself unharmed at most. Sorry everyone. I need to review my decision, my nning was not thorough enough, putting our group in great danger. As captain, the responsibility falls on me. Boss, dont be like this. Who could expect that the Saw Skate King would be that powerful? While bearing the bacsh from his spiritual stove Sima Xian said in a hurry. Han Yu also nodded , Thats right! All of this went beyond our expectations. It is all our responsibility, dont just me yourself. Letting out a bitter smile, Long Haochen shook his head, No! As the captain, I still brought you there despite realizing that we might possibly encounter a powerful Saw Skate King. This was already a mistake. Had someone have been lost today, I would forever be unable to forgive myself. I am the one at wrong. As punishment for it, I will renounce all of the profit and the Forest Boa Pills that we will have obtained from the trip here. Captain, the one at wrong should be me. It was all because of my selfishness, so I Although being staunch, Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but leak out red traces on her eye socket. The one who benefitted from the killing of Saw Skates the most was her, and it was precisely because she wascking in spatial attribute equipment that Long Haochen undertook this venture. Revealing a slight smile, Long Haochen raised his hand to stop Wang Yuanyuan from saying more, Alright, we can atst be considered safe. I will now definitely be even more careful when nning our next course of action. Everyone should go have a good rest. After these two teleportations, we will need to stay here for a long time beforeing out. This should avoid encountering the Saw Skate King waiting in ambush for us toe out. In particr Lin Xin and Sima Xian who suffered aftereffects from their spiritual stoves or Haoyue who needed time to recover after unleashing Essence of Disaster and even Long Haochen needed time to rest. In fact, when using Storm of des, he had also been using Storing Power inbination and although it didnt use his sword intent, the consumption of his spiritual energy was massive. Han Yus Spiritual Stove of Light Blessing was stopped before ending due to the teleportation, so everyone was clearly somewhat beat. Although they had failed to find traces of the Devil Snake n, their gains were still abundant, be it from the Forest Boas or the Saw Skates, they were all rare treasures. Long Haochen was certain that since the Devil Snake God Andromalius was willing to spend so much time in these Swamps of Gloom, it must be that something attracted him here. He couldnt possibly be unaware of the existence of the habitat of the Saw Skates here, or about these creatures that targeted Long Haochens group. Although this enterprise was dangerous, the result was undoubtedly fabulous. Having gathered eleven Saw Skates in total, making one piece of Legendary Equipment per person should be possible relying on it. Thus, Long Haochen was currently not the least bit worried. Their reward was already plentiful, and the gains they could make by killing Devil Snakes would be even greater. In case the enemy was undefeatable, ending their trip of ughter here, it was already pretty okay. From their departure from the Temple Alliance this time, the greatest loss was regarding Caiers memories, otherwise their objectives as a whole were already reached, as Caiers awakening as a god chosen one was alreadyplete. The Tower of Eternity rapidly quietened, and everyone started cultivating. Long Haochen learned a lesson from his encounter with the Saw Skate King. He had to be even more prudent from then onwards. This time of rest and reorganization took no less than three days. Only when Sima Xian and Lin Xin recovered from the bacsh of their respective spiritual stoves, did they finally return to the Swamps of Gloom. Long Haochen took the initiative to transport himself back to the swamps. He could be regarded as the cornerstone of the teleportation of their group. His location would be the one where hisrades would be teleported. When returning in the Swamps of Gloom, Long Haochen tried to conceal his own aura as much as possible while blocking the poison, keeping distance from the habitat of the Saw Skates to the furthest possible extent. With Haoyue remaining in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen was able to trigger his blood contract to summon himself at his side at anytime, which was a lot faster than a teleportation through the Eternal Melody. Even if the Saw Skate King were to reappear, he would have the time to escape. The Saw Skate King didnt turn out to be patient enough toy at wait in this ce, so Long Haochen smoothly flew away. The poisonous gas in the air was warded off with his armor of spiritual energy, letting out?Puff?sounds repeatedly. Nheless, the current Long Haochen having three spiritual cavities, although the light essence in the swamps was not plentiful, his recovery still counteracted the consumption from resisting the poisonous fog. Moving as one person was bound to be always a lot easier than in group, and with the lesson from the Saw Skate King, Long Haochen managed to smoothly leave rapidly by himself. After no less than half an hour of flight, when reaching a far distance from the Saw Skates territory, he summoned hisrades back here. At the time Haoyues massive stature appeared in the Swamps of Gloom, Long Haochens line of sight finally cleared up. Little Purples long whale-like absorption cleared up most of the poisonous fog as he sucked it in. All this poison thus rapidly dispersed from their sight. Recover your spiritual energy everyone. Invoking the Rippling Light, Long Haochen guarded the ce. The Tower of Eternity was after all a ce where the majority of the group was unable to recover spiritual energy, and even if this ce wascking, various elements were still present. Sitting on Haoyues back, everyone tried to recover their spiritual energy. Little Light and Little me respectively released abilities close to Spiritual Gathering Halo. Aside from Wang Yuanyuan, the whole group recovered at considerable speed. As for Chen Yinger, she didnt participate from beginning to end, and naturally didnt have any need to recover. Ah! With a cry of rm, Chen Yinger attracted Long Haochens attention. Whats the problem, Yinger? Chen Yinger was holding the treasure pig on her hands, Boss, see. This girl was very proud to the core, and still calling Long Haochen by his name or the appetion of captain at the time they just became Demon Hunters. But as the team kept maturing, when seeing everything Long Haochen did for the sake of the team, she started to sincerely call him as Captain, even though Long Haochen was actually a bit younger than her. Long Haochen then discovered that in her hands, the Mirror Image Treasure Pig was letting out a discreet brilliance of gold color, only discernible very faintly. This is Long Haochen looked at Chen Yinger with some hesitation. Chen Yingers left hand was in contact with the bottom of her forehead, and a little twisted ripple appeared on the pig. Immediately, McDulls eyes lit up, letting out a simr kind of radiance. He told me that he found some good thing. Right there. There, Chen Yinger pointed her hand to a certain direction. Only then did Long Haochen remember that this Mirror Image Treasure Pig also had a treasure hunting ability. Nheless, he couldnt help but feel somewhat unconvinced, after all, in their previous trip to the Illusory Paradise, he didnt see any disy of this capability from the little guy. Chapter 436 - Devil Snake God and Forest Boa King (I)

Chapter 436: Devil Snake God and Forest Boa King (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Is his information reliable? Why is it that he didnt help us thest time, when we were looking for spiritual stoves in the Illusory Paradise. After asking McDull, Chen Yinger replied, McDull said that the divine power of the goddess of nature acted as a shield in the Illusory Paradise, blocking his ability to detect treasures there. But he is certain that theres really some good treasure in this direction. He doesnt know about the specificities, but its certainly at least one treasure of light attribute. Long Haochen asked, Can McDull perceive the degree of danger around the location of this treasure? Chen Yinger shook her head, Hes incapable of telling that. This ability only gives a rough location of that treasure. We are now about ten kilometers away from that treasure. The closer we are to the treasure, the more urate his ability to locate will get. Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, muttering in reaction, If theres really some treasure here, perhaps thats the target of the Devil Snake Demon God. After everyone recovers in spiritual energy, I will take a look. This I wasnt really designating the group, but Long Haochen who made the resolve to go alone, after all the least they would be, the safer it would be. Chen Yinger volunteered herself to apany, Boss, then I will be bringing McDull along and follow. Long Haochen nodded in eptance. Taking Chen Yinger along was necessary. More urately speaking, it was about bringing the Mirror Image Treasure Pig McDull. If his senses were to be more urate, having him show the way would naturally result in less detours, but only Chen Yinger was able tomunicate with him. Long Haochen was unwilling to let him lead the way, as they experienced enough to confirm that the reputation asnd of death for the Swamps of Gloom was not just a rumor. If their luck turned bad, perhaps they would all die here. It was no wonder that the Devil Snake God Andromalius, ruling over the Devil Snake Province, has remained here for so long without having found his designated target. Only when hisrades recovered the entirety of their spiritual energy did Long Haochen bring them back to the Tower of Eternity, for the sake of making their preparations. This way he also confirmed his limit in number of possible teleportations. After going through continuous improvements, the current Long Haochen had the ability toplete two collective teleportations within a short while. One would be instantaneous, while the second would need him to take the time to incant. Since they were very possibly on the verge of encountering the Devil Snake God, he obviously wouldnt dare be careless, and prefered waiting a few more hours, to avoid the risk of putting hisrades in great danger. Caier was standing calmly on the side, looking at Long Haochen and the others discussing ns and countermeasures. Unbehest to her, she started pouting, as it was clear that Long Haochen wasnt including her in the ns. This made Caier feel very dissatisfied. I also want to be included in your ns. Caier extended her head at the side of Long Haochens face. As her soft hair was in contact with Long Haochens face, making him feel her familiar fragrance, Long Haochen turned around startled, looking at her in the eyes, and felt some difference in her. Are you able to control your fighting abilities? Long Haochen asked in a rush, full of self control. Deep inside, he had the urge to go give a sudden kiss on her cheeks. Caier nodded, No problem! When it gets dangerous, I seem to be able to enter a special state, permitting me to fight. Feeling helpless, Long Haochen gave her the response, But how could I let you face a situation of danger? The enemy we are going to face next will very possibly be the most difficult one to handle in the whole Swamps of Gloom. In dissatisfaction, Caier replied, I dont care! I want to go anyway! Didnt you tell me that I am supposed to be the vice-captain of our Demon Hunt Squad? How can I be left here by myself when everyone is going to battle? And perhaps some of my memories wille back through battles. At least I can remember about fighting. Seeing Caiers urging look, Long Haochen replied, somewhat helpless, Okay. But you will have to listen to my n, and cannot act blindly without thinking. Okay. This time, Caier seemed delighted as she replied. Ever since losing her memories, she had been following Long Haochen for a good time. Her original state of panic, helplessness and loss was gradually calmed, as she found out that following these people was actually not bad. They cared for her very much, and all held Long Haochen in great esteem. Caier heard Long Haochen say that in the whole team, they were the youngest two. In those circumstances, how was it that Long Haochen gained such respect from hisrades? Caier had always been feeling puzzled over this matter, but gradually found out the answer during their travails in the Swamps of Gloom. Their trust came from his strength and attitude. As the captain of this Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen always took the lead to face the strongest enemy, and would not spare any cost toe help when the others would need his protection. And then, there was also his outstandingmanding and nning ability. All his ns without fail would get the approval of the team. And even so, he would still take ount of hisrades suggestion to improve them. It could be said that Caier was gradually attracted to Long Haochens outstanding parts, and gained trust towards him along with a kind of impalpable feeling. She felt hurried to recover her memories, thinking, _Thats pretty good that hes my boyfriend, but how is it that there came to be feelings between the two of us?_ Lately, while the others were cultivating, Caier experienced quite a lot of pain by herself, because all her attempts to regain her memories turned out unsessful. Every time she tried to ess her memories, it gave her a severe headache. At most, she would get to see some fragments of image in her senses, as if her lost memories were sealed in another world from her physical body, and that what she needed was a bridge to connect these two worlds. From an original dy of six hours, now only three hours of wait were required before the teleportation ability cools down. After a thorough discussion about their ns, Long Haochen had everyone go into meditative state. Although Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger didnt need to recover spiritual energy, this would at least raise everyones mental condition to the peak. A dim light shone upon the Swamps of Gloom once again, as Long Haochen unfolded the four wings at his back, while cing his right fist on his chest. With another glint of golden light, Chen Yinger appeared at his side, holding the little pig McDull in her arms. Chen Yingerughed happily, looking around as she caressed the back of the little pig McDull, having him sense the direction of the treasure. Long Haochen once again pointed his right hand forward, then a green figure appeared behind Chen Yingers back, that was the Tenth Holy Guard. The only mission Long Haochen bestowed him was, to protect Chen Yinger well. Go. Seeing Chen Yinger point a direction, Long Haochen spread out a Holy Mantle, covering the three of them inside, while letting out his perception to sense the possibility of danger in their surroundings. For more safety, Long Haochens group stuck close to the ground while flying. In the crucial moment, the Tenth Holy Guard would at anytime be able to carry Chen Yinger away from danger, and in terms of reaction, that was someone Long Haochen was far from being able topare with. Waving on his right hand the Rippling Light with the severely damaged Glorious Holy Shield in his left hand, Long Haochen was standing in the front. Because there was no need to walk in the swamps, his task of opening up the path was a lot more rxed, as only therger vines were blocking their path. After advancing for about one kilometer, Long Haochen suddenly halted his advance, performing a silent gesture in the hand. Chen Yinger and the Tenth Holy Guard behind him came to a stop, and Long Haochens two eyes were lit with bright light. Turning his head, he gave a look to the Tenth Holy Guard. The Tenth Holy Guards eyes were flickering in light, which was a sign of the connection of his soul with the Eternal Melody. Long Haochen exchanged perception with the holy guards by this means. Although seeing afar was impossible in this poisonous fog, Long Haochens perception was ample to make over with it. At least in a limited range, it was quite urate. The Tenth Holy Guard nodded to him, before turning into a cold breeze, heading towards the poisonous fog. A green spiritual energy autonomously surrounded his body, protecting him and making him appearing like a green lightning bolt.. The bright light in Long Haochens eyes turned even more intense; right now he had no need to use up any spiritual energy, but his consumption of mental force was quite considerable. A short timeter, a green glint charged towards them, arriving before Long Haochen and Chen Yinger. That was the Tenth Holy Guard,ing back with a corpse, belonging to an approximately three meters tall Devil Snake, whose long tail upied two third of its size. Its throat was sliced, revealing its bone. This wound was visibly fatal. Having sensed its presence beforehand, Long Haochenmanded the Tenth Holy Guard to dispose of it. Given his ability, aplishing that without any trace was no difficult feat to him, and would be even more effective than Long Haochen trying to kill him. It seems that my judgement wasnt mistaken. McDulls perception is indeed quite urate. In these Swamps of Gloom should exist some kind of treasure, which should be the target of the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius. And we are getting closer to that target. Saying that, Long Haochen showed the Tenth Holy Guard a thumbs up. Chen Yinger asked, Then what should be done? Letting out a smile, Long Haochen replied, We should of course go for the safe way, by exterminating his underlings on the way while advancing. Tenth Holy Guard, we will be bothering you. The me in the eyes of the Tenth Holy Guard pulsed up more violently, as if letting out some pride. Long Haochen found a rather bulky vine, nodded to Chen Yinger after confirming safety, and then summoned the Twelfth Holy Guard to stand in guard. He was sitting cross-legged near the vines, as the golden glint in his eye turn into a deeper color, giving a nod to the Tenth Holy Guard. Chapter 437 - Devil Snake God and Forest Boa King (II)

Chapter 437: Devil Snake God and Forest Boa King (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen was currently not only acting as the eyes of the Tenth Holy Guards, but also hismander. In the mind of the Tenth Holy Guard something resembling a map appeared, indicating the location of all the surrounding enemies detected by Long Haochen. The enemies were very concentrated, but in this thick fog, the environment was more than suited to the powerful wind user like the Tenth Holy Guard. Moreover, these Devil Snakes were in the midst of arge battle. An intense darkness elemental magic power was surging in the air, originating from a massive pir that seemed to connect the heaven and the earth. The massive pir was thoroughly ck, taking root on the yellow greenish water in the swamps. On it, a snake bodied person seemed to stand. This monster asionally let out a red glint from his eyes The area several thousand meters radius with this gigantic pir as core was entirely purified , and in this scope, arge battle was in the midst of urring. One robust Devil Snake after another twisted their bodies, overwhelmingly armed with spears, while holding a staff in the other hand, franticallyunching devastating attacks against their enemy.. These Devil Snakes used theirrge tail to move unhindered in these extremely unsteady swamps. The Devil Snakes were high in number, and their height crossed three meters. This could be said to be the elite of the Devil Snake n, with each and every Devil Snake at least at the fifth step. Their enemy wasnt willing to give up. The enemy was a dozens gigantic Forest Boas, as well as numerous creatures living in the Swamps of Gloom. The battle was very fierce. As magical beasts of the eighth rank, the Forest Boas should logically have an overwhelming superiority, but the truth of the situation wasnt like that. The Devil Snakes were over a thousand in number, vastly outstripping the Forest Boas, and were very well organised,bining offense and defense as one, and their knowledge regarding their opponent was considerable. In case a Forest Boa would fall to the ground, the Devil Snakes would automatically scatter, giving the Forest Boas no chance to swallow them. That gigantic pir standing on the swamps was also of massive use. A circle of dark light spread out from him, enveloping these Devil Snakes inside. The powerful elite of the Devil Snakes are equivalent to magical beasts of the sixth rank, and with the presence of a formidable support force, their fighting strength and recovery were all tremendously boosted. With the addition to their numerical superiority, the Devil Snake Kings attacked group of the creatures from the Swamps of Gloom, led by the Forest Boas, and suppressed them to a certain extent. The battle visibly went on for a long time already, but the ground wasnt filled with corpses from Devil Snakes. This was because as soon as one died inbat, it would be naturally unable to keep moving in the swamps, and undoubtedly get engulfed due to the natural forces, On the side of the Forest Boas lied two corpses, hanging onto the vines, retrieved by their own. However, although the battle was cruel, one could clearly see that the two sides were still in a state of restraint, simply because they both had their greatest powerhouses that had yet to intervene. On the side of the Devil Snakes, above the gigantic pir stood a five meter long Devil Snake, proud and unyielding. His thick and hard tail supported his tall build, his upper body looked extremely robust, and on it were a lot of dark blue and red colored symbols. His eyes, one was blue, one was red and had a head bald, with only some dark blue bits of hair forming a little pigtail. On each of his hands was a spear, and his eyes kept flickering, looking into the distance at the Forest Boas. Beside this sturdy build Devil Snake stood four gracious female Devil Snakes. Their height didnt exceed two meters, and their body twisted around their tail, and faces were pale white colored. Their most terrifying aspect remained their hair, which actually had the appearance of little snakes. These four female Devil Snakes had their eyes closed, and their eyelids colored in white. Without a doubt, that very tall Devil Snake was their chief, thest ranked of the seventy-two demon gods, Andromalius. And naturally, the four female Devil Snakes at his side were the four Medusas under hismand. Although the battle was quite intense, until now, they still had yet to intervene. Right in front of them, in the rear of those immense Forest Boasy an entirely jade skinned Forest Boas, with three golden lines on the back, calmly waiting. His body exposed in the swamps exceeded ten meters in height, standing proudly. Nheless, when he would asionally look at the demon god pir on the back of Andromalius, his eyes would let out some sparks. A Forest Boa King! Thats one of the genuine rulers of the Swamps of Gloom, a magical beast of the tenth rank, a Forest Boa King. Although the Saw Skate King is also one of the ruler of these Swamps of Gloom, his territory is far inferior to the Forest Boa King. The Saw Skate King wouldnt easily leave from his territory, thus his scope of control isntrge. As long as the Forest Boa King doesnt go invade his territory, these two will naturally live in harmony. But the Forest Boa King isnt the same, as the one ruling the vast majority of the territory in these swamps. As long as some ce would be formed with swamps, that would almost be his shadow. Unless encountering Saw Skates or other natural enemies, their race was unstoppable in these swamps. The ominous glint in the eyes of Andromalius was already reaching its peak. To handle these Forest Boas, he had paid a massive cost. The first to find out about the presence of a treasure here was him. Andromalius knew since long ago about the presence of the Forest Boas in these Swamps. Being fellow reptilian race, he was naturally well informed regarding the other party. Thus,he hade to poach from them once before, but found out by some ident, that the Forest Boa race seemed to be guarding something in there. Therefore, interest rose in Andromalius who somehow wanted to have a look inside. And this was how he crossed swords with the Forest Boa King for the first time. Ordinary Forest Boas were naturally no match for Andromalius, but being a magical beast of the tenth rank, the Forest Boa King had the strength of a powerhouse of the ninth step, plus this was his home ground. In the battle waged here, Andromalius suffered huge losses, and nearly lost his life. If not for some particr methods reserved for demon gods that he made use of, he wouldnt have been able to escape. This matter was not only of a great disgrace for Andromalius, but rose even further curiosity regarding the treasure guarded by the Forest Boas. There was definitely some good things inside, which rose Andromalius determination. Among the seventy-two demon gods, he was only thest ranked of all, and his strength didnt advance further after reaching the peak of the eighth step. No one would be willing to remainst, so Andromalius was naturally unwilling to give up on such a good opportunity. If there was an opportunity to find some treasure enabling him to perhaps raise his cultivation to the ninth step, his rank among the demon gods would be sure to leap up. Dont forget that Andromalius has at least his own n. This made his status still higher than some of the other demon gods ranked among thetter part of the sixties. Therefore, after returning back and healing his wounds, Andromalius brought some elite among his subordinates to return to the Swamps of Gloom. However, this time he was rathercking in luck, and passed through theke where the Saw Skates were living, resulting obviously in the personal intervention of the Saw Skate King, inflicting once again heavy wounds to Andromalius. The elites he brought were also turned without surprise into nutrient for theke. The heavy damage from this setback took no less than three months for Andromalius to heal. The terror of the Saw Skate King was even superior to the Forest Boa King in his eyes, and if not for some extraordinary defensive abilities rewarded by the demon god pir, he would have already died twice. Andromalius was still in the end a demon god. After suffering two consecutive setbacks, pondering about the painful experience brought him to n cautiously his next move. Afterwards, he chose to enter in the Swamps of Gloom dozens times, though not deep inside, to carefully examine the situation in these swamps. He went through several dangerous situations, but as a result got a good understanding of this Land of Death. And after getting a certain grasp, Andromalius once again gathered his elites, this time consisting even of Medusa and his own demon god pir, aiming for a sure sess. Without their demon god pir beside, demon gods werent different from other powerhouses of same rank. However, they would be absolutely not the same with a demon god pir. Demon god pirs not only provided a great boost to the demon god himself, but also greatly reinforced his own nsmen. And to the demon god himself, a demon god pir is close to a trump card. With it on his back, a demon god can bring out 150% of his original strength in battle. Although Andromalius demon god pir was thest ranked among all seventy-two, it still remained a piece of Epic Tier equipment. This was also what made the visibly stronger Forest Boa King refrain from participating, with the mindset to prevent superfluous harm. This was how massive the sense of oppression that the demon god pir gave him was. The Devil Snake Demon God wasnt the least bit hurried to act. For the sake of eliminating the wings of the Forest Boa King, he endured patiently for so long, waiting for a good opportunity. As for the Saw Skate King, he didnt dare provoke him at the moment. The underlings of the Saw Skate King were just far too many, and their offensive power just too fierce. The Forest Boas werent few in number either, but didnt attack in a group, they were scattered all over the swamps. Even the Forest Boa King wouldnt be able to instantly gather too many of his nsmen for a battle. When the confrontation between both sides was reaching its climax, a green figure appeared soundlessly on the edge of the battlefield. Andromalius was extremely prudent, this time bringing his army to prate deep into the Swamps of Gloom, with the resolve to aplish the whole task in one stroke. Would he dare be careless? It could be said that the elite of the Devil Snakes gathered here exceeded the half of the whole of their whole race. Thus, he assigned several dozen Devil Snakes in the outskirts for scouting. In case some powerful magical beast from the swamps were to approach them, there would be time for them to be warned this way. However, right at this moment, these Devil Snakes responsible for scouting were being quietly assassinated one after another. Being on the periphery, they had originally no way to receive support from the demon god pir, moreover when their enemy was that strong, they were easily cut apart. A Devil Snake standing on top of a tree was vigntly observing the surroundings, unceasingly sweeping his eyes all around. The dim ck spiritual energy on his body was expelling the poison from the swamps, but in fact, he was only able to see in a small area, and mostly had to rely on his perception to examine the surroundings. Reptiles have a keen sense of smell, and this is the strongest aspect in their perception. Chapter 438 - Devil Snake Demon God and Forest Boa King (III)

Chapter 438: Devil Snake Demon God and Forest Boa King (III)

Trantor: GravityTales All of a sudden, he sensed the air above his head cool down. The Devil Snake then hastened to concentrate more on his sense of smell, but didnt find smell of any living creature. In his time of stupor, that ice-cold feeling already struck through its bone. A light pierced through him, while another glint of green light prated his throat. Not letting out the slightest sound, this Devil Snake was already slowly falling onto a vine the next instant. The green figure shortly paused, before throwing itself into the thick fog, which became its best cover. Even if there was another Devil Snake only a few dozens meters away, his line of sight would be obstructed, preventing him from finding out about the circumstances here. After no less than ten minutes passed, the Devil Snakes in charge for scouting were thoroughly eradicated. When that green figure reappeared by Long Haochens side, the green light emitted from him just looked somewhat dimmer. Slowly shutting his eyes, Long Haochen let out a sigh of relief after having gotten exhausted due to the high expenditure of his mental energy. In his mind, the demon god pir of the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius was an immense energy entity. As he calmed himself down, his awareness remained very clear. The reason why he didnt have the Tenth Holy Guard attack the battling Devil Snakes was to avoid inadvertently warning the other side. Having them remain unaware of their existence was undoubtedly the best choice. A momentter, Long Haochen opened his eyes once again, not pondering over the matter of treasure anymore, but on how they could achieve their ultimate objective. Yinger, I am sending you back. Tell everyone about the situation here, and have them prepare for a fight. Since I am rather good at concealing my aura, I will investigate, and when the best opportunity appears, we will then act. The Snake Demon God Andromalius was leading the Snake Demon army to wage war against the magical beasts living in the swamps, and to the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, this was an incredibly good opportunity! Although Long Haochen was cautious, if he were to let go of such a good opportunity, he wouldnt be qualified to be a Demon Hunt Squad captain. The two holy guards vanished in the Eternal Melody by Long Haochens orders, to recuperate. Chen Yinger and McDull were sent back to the Tower of Eternity, and then, Long Haochen wasnt in a great hurry, taking time in recovering, to recuperate from his consumption of mental power, before getting to the act. Erasing the fluctuations of spiritual energying out from him, he advanced towards the edge of the battlefield. Right now, he looked just like a tiger in ambush: reserved in appearance, but ready to break out with explosive force at anytime. His hatred towards the demons was shown in his cold expression. On the verge of facing one of the seventy-two demon gods, his mind was now filled with images of the scene of Caier and himself surrounded by the Demon Hunter Removers. Unconsciously pursing up his lips, a hard to describe emotion filled him, spreading inside him. Even if the Aria of the Goddess of Light was not in his grasp, his body still let out a dense sword intent. Even Long Haochen himself was not inplete control of this sword intent. Fortunately, although intense, this sword intent was only pulsing around his body, and didnt scatter too far. Shutting his eyes, Long Haochen refrained himself, for fear that the instant he would see the Devil Snake Demon God, he wouldnt be able to contain his fighting spirit and killing intent would radiate from him. Even he hadnt thought that encountering demon powerhouses again would him affect so greatly. In truth, this state was actually due to the fact he had been suppressing his feelings for so long. After Caiers loss of memories, Long Haochen became filled with an anxiety that one might well imagine. The one who best understood his pain was only himself. To take good care of Caier, he could only conceal this pain in his heart, keeping his tears inside him. Forcing a smile on his face tofort Caier, he kept trying to help her recover her memories. As days passed, Caiers state stabilized, but the pain filling Long Haochen was only growing deeper day by day. That was because he hoped to reunite with the Caier he shared deep love with. If he had been more resolute at that time, forcefully stopping Tian Qing from starting this battle, perhaps nothing of that would have happened. But how could others know about the self-ming filling his heart at that time? At this moment, although the one he was about to face was not the one responsible for Caiers loss of memories, it was still another powerful demon foe. The feelings suppressed in his heart immediately caused him to enter a berserk state. As the days had gone by, hisprehension regarding sword intent had gradually deepened, his emotions and his sword intent merging into one, giving rise to this state. Without a doubt, Long Haochen in this state was undoubtedly fearful, or rather terrifying. But simrly, if he were to not get a valid target to vent out in this state, the blow inflicted to his mind would be enormous. This was unrted to strength, stemming directly from his psyche. Quietly approaching the battlefield, Long Haochen concealed himself in the poisonous fog. His self control was in the end extremely strong, and after the short time of recovery he had, he managed to barely control his own surges of emotions. Slowly opening his eyes, he peeked the inside of the battlefield from its border. The first thing that caught his eye was that massive demon god pir. Right, that was definitely a demon god pir. In the past, Long Haochen had already faced the god pir belonging to the supreme ruler of the seventy two demons. In particr, the Demon God Emperors gave him a really massive shock, so he recognized that thing at the first look. However, his eyes never looked at Andromalius, for fear that his presence would be noticed because of that. Silently calming himself down, Long Haochen quietly observed the changes on the battlefield. Right now, the offense of the Devil Snakes was growing fiercer and fiercer, and the Forest Boas were losing the edge little by little. The massive Forest Boas were certainly extremely tough in defense, possessing astonishing strength, but just like even a hero is no match against too many enemies, a tiger is no match for a flock of wolves. The Forest Boas that didnt reach twenty in quantity, were beaten withrge masses of devil snakes; bruised, rapidly holing themselves inside the swamps, and only showing the half of their bodies to the Devil Snake Demons. The Devil Snakes didnt seem affected by the swamp ground in the slightest, advancing and retreating in sequence. Going on the offense in sessive surges, their darkness spiritual energy was urged to the greatest extent. Frequently, three to five Devil Snakes wouldunch a joint attack, with the effect of leavingrge scar on the Fprest Boa. The Forest Boa King started to let out a low growl, simrly urging his own nsmen. Meanwhile, its massive body started to twist, visibly about to suddenly attack at anytime. It looked that the situation of the Forest Boas wasnt very great. If this went on, the Forest Boa King was perhaps going to intervene. But obviously, the Devil Snake Demon God ring at him like a tiger wasnt going to let him do as he pleases, so an intervention would lead to a direct confrontation between these two. Though, with the awe of the demon god pir, this battle seemed to hold no suspense if things kept going on this way. Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief. Indeed, arriving early was no way as good as arriving at the perfect time. And to him, this timing was just more than favorable. Nheless, the question remained how they could help the Forest Boas, the best result remaining to be a mutual destruction. And also, the Devil Snake Demon God couldnt be allowed to run away. Long Haochen didnt act with over haste. Right at this time, watching calmly was the best choice. Moreover, his ns were still notpletely decided. Meanwhile, while surveying the position of the Forest Boa King, he faintly discerned a dark cave that seemed to be behind the Forest Boa King. This cave was quite unusual, surrounded by thick vines. It was as if the whole cave was protected behind the vines spreading from the ground. It was when the Forest Boa King moved that Long Haochen managed to discern a bit of it. Houu. With a mournful snarl, the Forest Boa King exploded. This king of the Swamps of Gloom visibly seemed unable to bear this situation. With the enemy attacking his ownir, and ughtering his people, his anger was understandable. Even if the fear from the demon god pir restraining him was even higher, seeing the counterpart threat his own existence, he had no choice but to fight. This snarl of the Forest Boa King had an instantaneous effects. The Forest Boas all came to a standstill, and immediately, some dark green ball of light Long Haochen was familiar with bombarded directly the group of Devil Snakes. This movement of the Forest Boas was efficiently coordinated and executed, to the extent that even Andromalius wasnt able to make it at time to instruct his subordinate against it. With an intense explosion, over fifty Devil Snake standing in the front were instantly caught in the explosion, changing into fragments in the air, and soiling the swamps with their blood. The next instant the ten Forest Boas spat out their internal pills, they suddenly leapt, rushing in the midst of the enemy ranks. With their unyielding power, they forcefullypelled the Devil Snakes back, then swallowed back their respective internal pills, before disappearing into the swamps. Having suddenly being subject to such a violent attack, the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius felt unable to hold back any longer. These were the elite among his subordinates; the lives of each ones of them mattered. These Devil Snakes of the fifth and the sixth step were not that easy to foster, so how could he stay and be indifferent in front of this scene? A sharp cry came out from Andromalius mouth, and the same motion was performed by the four Medusas standing at his side, that all opened their eyes. The four snake-women opened their eyes, causing the distant Long Haochen to shut his eyes unconsciously. After he felt the threat disappear, and opened his eyes once again, he immediately took a long breath. From the attack that was justunched, among the Forest Boas on the surface of the swamps, three didnt make it back to the swamps in time. Their upper-bodies were standing still, and even the swamp surrounding them stopped moving. Petrification. This is an innate ability of Medusas, and one of the most terrifying ones used by Devil Snakes. Even the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius doesnt have control over it, as this is a speciality of Medusas. The Devil Snakes naturally wouldnt let go of such good opportunity, and in a sh, the three petrified Forest Boas were reduced into fragments under their attacks, losing life a momentter. The Forest Boa King was also subject to attacks. Of the three Medusas, two had aimed for the Forest Boas, while the tallest one went after the Forest Boa King, with the simple goal of preventing him from interfering. Chapter 439 - Demon God Transformation (I)

Chapter 439: Demon God Transformation (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The Forest Boa King was shaken by the sudden vicious attack. In front of him, petrified snake skin was lying on the ground, quietly sinking into the swamps. Even a powerhouse such as the Forest Boa King visibly, was only able to resort to a desperate escape n against the Petrification ability of a Medusa. Long Haochen was secretly shocked, understanding that if he were to ever go against Andromalius, his most important targets were going to be those Medusas. Yue Yes warning was indeed right! These Medusas surpassed even Andromalius in threat level. It wasnt that these Medusas were so powerful in themselves. Their ability of Petrification wouldnt possibly petrify a gods chosen one such as Long Haochen entirely. But even only being weakened and slowed down by that Petrification would be a fatal blow. The eyes of the Medusas had to be avoided, otherwise, ones body would be entirely petrified. And furthermore the eyes of a Medusa can shot a sort of petrifyingser beam, also petrifying a target upon hitting it. Of course, using this ability alsoes with arge consumption of spiritual energy from the Medusa. At least,unching it sessively isnt possible, and also, in normal times they can be considered blind, unable to open their eyes whenever they wish. Andromalius let out a low roar, pointing his fingers at the Boa Forest King. Then, his subordinates slowly dispersed around, standing in guard against the Forest Boas in the swamps. It was clear that in the battle of his brothers, the Devil Snakes finally emerged victorious. Afterunching theirst full power attack, those ordinary Forest Boas were already not a big threat, they could only wait inside of the swamps for an opportunity. And what awaited was obviously the fight between their two kings, between the opposing Devil Snake King Andromalius and Forest Boa King. Andromalius could of course use his own nsmen to weaken the Forest Boa King, but the subordinates he already lost were not few, and besides, he wanted to use his own strength to take revenge against the Forest Boa King. With the existence of his ultimate killing weapon the demon god pir, he had absolute confidence. In fact at every use of the demon god pir, his own vital energy served as fuel. This time, his target was not only the treasure here, but also the internal pill and body of the Forest Boa King. These were all great treasures, and were he to consume them, Andromalius had at least seventy percent odds to break through the ninth step. In the midst of a roar, the Forest Boa King fixed his eyes on Andromalius, his fury visible in his eyes. In some sense, they were all of the snake race, yet right now they were akin to mortal enemies. The figure of Andromalius was already massive, but it still paled inparison with the Forest Boa King. As the two great powerhouses were on the verge of fighting to death, Long Haochen put even more care in concealing his presence. To him, the battle that was about to take ce was extremely valuable material. He had always wanted to know the extent of the power a demon god could use when he used his demon god pir to its fullest extent. And the answer for this question was about toe in this stage. The Devil Snake God Andromalius thrust his snake spear forward, yelling continuously. The surrounding Devil Snakes also howled, and only the four Medusas by his side remained motionless, staying beside the demon god pir, calmly facing the direction of the Forest Boa King. These four Medusas were like four enormous magic cannons. Who knew when they would fire again. Andromalius lifted the snake spears in both his hands high, simultaneously, and his muffled chants gradually became more reverberating, and started to sound sharp to the ears. Behind him was the seventy-second demon god pir, which started letting out a mild purple glow. For some reason, when sensing this mild purple light, Long Haochen suddenly felt some familiarity. This familiar feeling wasnting from a demon, but seemed to Thinking about this point, Long Haochen suddenly had a change on the expression in his eyes. However, it very quickly returned to normal. Immediately, therge snake sculpture on top of that massive demon god pir seemed toe to life. A dark shadow appeared from nowhere, quietly adhering to the body of the Devil Snake Demon Gods body. Long Haochens pupils abruptly dted, because to his shock he saw that after assimting that shadow, the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius unexpectedly erged at an astonishing speed. The aura on his body also gained in size and power. That massive aura seemed to originate from his blood vessels, but it seemed to be an extraordinary energy that doesnt belong to this world. His strength remained at the peak of the eighth step, but the intensity of his aura even surpassed a powerhouse of the ninth step. From afar, the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius seemed to have fusedpletely with his demon god pir, and even the snake spears in his hands kept on erging. The Forest Boa King kept bellowing continuously, and the three golden glows on his back illuminated even more. Circles of jade colored radiance spread out from his body, dispersing the darkness essence in the air at an astonishing speed. What reced it was two kinds of particr elemental fluctuations reeking of life and death. The poison in the swamps became even more dense in the air, an acid raid of poison started to fall. As that rain of poison fell on Andromalius, one could distinctly hear some tingling sound, apanied by a faint smoke. From this can one well imagine the great danger associated with the attack. It was indeed far from something easy to deal with. With his strength that reached the ninth step, the Forest Boa King was already able to alter and control the surrounding environment. This was a kind of Domain-like ability. But visibly, the Forest Boa King was not yet able tounch a real domain. The same goes for the Saw Skate King Long Haochens group encountered previously. From what is known, to truly control a Domain, the requirement is to be at least at the third rank of the ninth step, in other words, to surpass 300,000 units of spiritual energy. And any powerhouse able to control a Domain, whether he is from the Temple Alliance or the demons, is an outstanding existence. The Devil Snake God evidently suffered great pain, which could be heard in his deafening roar. His swollen figure which was already over meters tall went straight for the Forest Boa King. The demon god pir that orded him a boost, was something all demon god possess, as well as an ability exclusive to the seventy-two demon gods, called Demon God Transformation. A demon god in a Demon God Transformed state will gain a massive boost in aura and strength. His or her external spiritual energy will rise to an extremely terrifying level. For instance, the current Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius was still at the peak of the eighth step in internal spiritual energy, but his external spiritual energy was already at the ninth step. With every different demon god pire different fields and degrees of amplifications. From this, one can imagine the degree of terror if the Demon God Emperor were toplete the Demon God Transformation from his Devil Dragon Pir. As the two immense snake spears aimed straight for the Forest Boa King, an intense elemental explosion urred in mid-air. In fact, under the control of the Forest Boa King of the ninth step, the surrounding elemental fluctuations were dispersed, but he was unable to disperse the elemental essenceing out from the demon god pir. Andromalius harmonized himself with his demon god pir, so would he let himself be affected? Jade and ck shed in the air, producing an explosion of iparable intensity, repelling all the surrounding swamps. Massive shock waves dispersed, blowing the acid rain away. Some Devil Snakes of insufficient spiritual energy or that didnt dodge in time were also caught in it, and shouts could be heard for a moment. This was visibly done intentionally by the Forest Boa King. As a ruler of the Swamps of Gloom, he had numerous means of self-protection. When this mighty being unleashes his power, he wont show weakness even against a demon god. The fight between Andromalius and the Forest Boa King looked very simple and direct, and the Forest Boa Kings massive body was brazenly exposed in front of all the Devil Snakes. His build reached a terrifying length of over sixty meters, and the thickest part of his body reached five meters in diameter. This was such a terribly massive monster! Even after getting a boost from the demon god pir, Andromalius still paled inparison to him. The two powerhouses both had such massive builds, and both also primarily excelled in using external spiritual energy. A red and jade colored spiritual energy frantically devoured each other. At every sh, the two powerhouses let out a sound close to a groan. Long Haochen was silently observing from afar, filled with some shock. He was already certain that even if hisrades and himself were to cooperate and focus on one of those two only, their odds of victory would hardly exceed thirty three percent! This was the strength of a powerhouse of the ninth step! It was even enough to cause changes to the surrounding terrain. If not for Andromalius voluntary effort to redirect most of the shock waves in the air, it was highly possibly that none of the Devil Snakes remaining here would survive those. So he had to get involved to prevent that. Immense radiance kept rising to the sky, and the very dense poisonous fog was unexpectedly pushed away by the battle. Faintly, one could see traces of sunshine. Strong! Long Haochen was secretly eximing in admiration, naturally directing this praise at the Forest Boa King. Even though the Forest Boa King is a magical beast, one cannot underestimate him. Very clearly, from the start of the battle, he was the one who incited Andromalius to direct the reverberations of spiritual energy in the air. And Andromalius had no choice but to do this, because this was the only way for him to prevent his nsmen from receiving damage from their attacks. However, the poison in the air was dispersed, and the consequent appearance of sunlight was to the darkness elemental Snake Devil God an obvious source of massive weakness. At the time sunlight fell upon them, the Forest Boa King was unaffected, but the Devil Snake Demon God was burnt, which had the effect of somewhat weakening his fusion with his demon god pir. In fact, if this was in the external world, at the time the demon gods would burst out with his power, their demon god pirs would naturally produce some dark clouds obstructing the sunlight. But at this moment, the Forest Boa King clearly wouldnt give his opponent this opportunity. You all leave this battlefield. The Devil Snake God was still shing against the Forest Boa King and harassing him, when in his hands, the Snake Spear left two deep scars on his opponent. At this time, he shouted these words in rage towards his subordinates. Chapter 440 - Demon God Transformation (II)

Chapter 440: Demon God Transformation (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The Devil Snakes retreated with haste, stepping in the poisonous fog while leaving the battle. Only the four Medusas remained, remaining concealed behind the demon god pir. A chance! Long Haochens eyes glistened almost maniacally. No longer watching the sh between the two great powerhouses, which he thought was an undoubtedly rare asion, paired with a chance toplete the Demon Hunt Squad Missions they took. His figure twinkled, stepping back into the poisonous fog. Long Haochen didnt summon hisrades, as this time, too many wouldnt necessarily be for the better. He also wanted the others to keep their strength, so he chose to enter the poisonous fog alone, to chase. To avoid releasing a powerful holy aura, he didnt use Aria of the Goddess of Light. In his right hand was the Rippling Light, and his senses perked up, feeling the location of the retreating Devil Snakes. The Devil Snakes werepletely relying on their sense of smell at this time, but in this ce full of poisonous fog, it was visibly massively weakened. Long Haochen very rapidly groped the back of a Devil Snake, and thrusting the sword in his hand, he produced a sh of light while instantly piercing the skull of that Devil Snake. Long Haochens sword intent was something even AhBao wouldnt dare confront, so there was nothing to say about these Devil Snakes. The fighting intent he had been restraining erupted, as Long Haochen waspletely driven by his senses. Every time he made a move, his location changed instantly, using the simplest of pattern of attacks with Demon Wiping sh. Combined with sword intent, Demon Wiping sh made a perfect match, without a doubt killing a Devil Snake at every strike. More terrifyingly, the Devil Snakes all died being prated in the head by Long Haochens swords, hardly even getting the chance to scream. asionally, little sounds would be heard, but interrupted as their throat would get pierced, with their owner cowering in fear. And Long Haochen was not the only one interfering the fleeing Devil Snakes; dont forget about the Forest Boas that submerged themselves in the swamps! The Forest Boas bitterly hated these intruders. At the time the Devil Snake King gave the Devil Snakes the order to retreat, the Forest Boa King also used his own methods to give his nsmen the order to chase. As a result, the Devil Snakes whose vision wasnt clear were hunted as food by the Forest Boas. As Long Haochens senses were on full tilt, he could of course perceive the current situation of these Devil Snakes. In the poisonous fog, a surge of spiritual energy of darkness element kept sweeping past one after another. This was the counterattackunched by the Devil Snakes. However, without the demon god pir to disperse the fog, their fighting strength plummeted substantially, let alone their co-ordination. For a moment, these elites Devil Snakes could be said to be subject to a disastrous destruction. The Swamps of Gloom was still in the end a territory under the control of the Forest Boas, which could even be called their domain, their home ground. he Forest Boa King had been ruling over this ce for who knows how long, to the extent that even the Saw Skate King surpassing him in strength didnt reach his status as a ruler. Although the Snake Demon God Andromalius had the advantage, gaining victory against him was not going to be such an easy feat. It could be said that when these ordinary Forest Boas started submerging into the swamps, Andromalius was already caught in the trap of the Forest Boa King. At this moment, as Andromalius was merged as one with his demon god pir, his perception in Demon God Transformed state was a lot higher than usual as well. The screams of his nsmen naturally reached his ears, but now that he was caught in fierce struggle against the Forest Boa King, and that their battle was already at its peak, he was unable to do anything about it. All he could do was to fiercely attack the Forest Boa King. One had no choice but to admit that the Demon God Transformed Andromaliuss situation was quite terrible. In this state, his body was not the slightest bit inferior to the Forest Boa King, and in his hands, there were powerful weapons. The scars inflicted on the Forest Boa Kings body kept increasing, and although Andromalius didnt have it easy either, his recovery speed still vastly surpassed his enemys. And moreover, he still had helpers beside him. Four pairs of white eyes opened without a sound behind the distant demon god pir, and eight white beams hit the body of the Forest Boa King in a sh. Suddenly, the whole body of the Forest Boa King went rigid, making a frantic turn. With this, anotheryer of his snake skin came off, as he resisted the effects of Petrification. This undoubtedly made Andromalius attacks lose a lot of their ferocity. How could Andromalius let go of such a good chance? His eyes were soaked in blood, and the spears in his hands held high, despite that his massive and supple body, was close to forming an angle of ny degrees. A strong darkness essence of ck color attached itself to the two spears, before they ferociously struck the Forest Boa Kings body. Blood spattered, some dark green blood flew in all directions. Shouting in rage, the Forest Boa King shot out at full force, creating some distance with Andromalius with difficulty, but one could clearly see some ck light curling up on his body. On that massive wound were traces of severe corrosion. Arggh. The Forest Boa King was utterly furious, and mes were almost gushing out from his jade colored eyes. A terrible green projectile of one meter diameter shot out, directly smashing against Andromalius. As this person was doing his utmost, one thought surged to Andromalius mind, as his body made an horizontal turn. That was the internal pill of a powerhouse of the ninth step. Although he wanted to take it, if this item under control of the Forest Boa King were to smash his body, even if is was more durable, it could only end up unfavorably for him. The same time he did this turn, a gaudy dark golden color started to lit up Andromalius body. As he lifted up the spear in his hand, a mirage appeared beside him with a strident hiss. It was about the same as his body in height, heading straight for that internal pill. But a strange scene followed. The originally enraged Forest Boa King suddenly revealed a shrewd look. His overbearing internal pill actually made a turn in the air, and didnt aim at Andromalius, but straight at that demon god pir. Andromalius showed great surprise, but the next instant, his eyes suddenly revealed an expression of disdain. The Forest Boa King was scheming against him, but wasnt he doing the same? _Bang!_ The whole Swamps of Gloom shook up violently, and an intense explosion burst on the seventy-second demon god pir. Violent green and ck light blossomed therein. This time, the Forest Boa King made a miscalction. He knew from the beginning that the real threat against him was not Andromalius, but this pir he brought. But he also understood clearly that finding a chance to attack it was in no way going to be easy. He acted as if enraged against Andromalius, and shot the internal pill. Having found this extremely rare opportunity, how could he not go all out in his attack? From his viewpoint, as long as this demon god pir was destroyed, Andromalius could only die in defeat after this. However, he miscalcted something: his estimate of the strength possessed by the demon god pir. In that violent explosion, the Forest Boa Kings body suddenly shivered ardently, as if subject to symptoms of mria. His internal pill bounced back to him at an astonishing speed, but the jade light on it became a lot darker. Not only that, but the radiance glowing on the Forest Boa King also dimmed. Andromalius howled withughter, before throwing himself at him once again. All along, the mirage born from him followed disregarding everything andunching attacks. He wasnt going to let such a great chance slip by. In the history of humanity and demonkind, situation of a demon god getting killed happened many times over, but the seventy-two demon god pirs guarding demonkind were never destroyed. Even a divine tool has never destroyed these demon treasures, to say nothing about the internal pill of a Forest Boa King. After this miscalction, the Forest Boa King suffered a violent bacsh due to the violent sh suffered by his internal pill, putting it into an extremely weak state. The Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius took advantage of this, franticallyunching attacks. For a moment, the body of the Forest Boa King kept getting blown to pieces, visibly somewhat unable to endure. In terms of strength, the Forest Boa King should originally have held an absolute advantage, after all the gap between the ninth step and the peak of the eighth step corresponds to an incredible gap, and the Forest Boa King was inplete control of the elemental essence in the area. However, the demon god pir just showed too great a utility. Not only giving the Snake Devil God a powerful backup in elemental essence, but also raising his external spiritual energy over a hundred thousand units. This caused the gap between the two sides to decrease. The Forest Boa King was already sessful in his past series of ns, and this caused his self confidence to grow, to the extent ofmitting a fatal mistake with his internal pill that got inflicted a bacsh due to the demon god pir, leading to such an absolute disadvantage. However, the bombarding of the internal pill against the demon god pir just before didnt prove out useless. At least, the four Medusas hidden behind it fell into the swamps due to the powerful shockwaves, letting out blood from their mouth and nose. Rapidly climbing up, they still avoided getting sunk into the swamps though. Although Medusas had quite overwhelming abilities, they were in the end still Devil Snakes of the sixth step only. The offensive power of the internal pill waspletely sustained by the demon god pir, but the terrible surge of spiritual energy that came along spread to a certain range, still injuring these four Medusas. A faint green sh came, beforeing to a sudden stagnation. This sudden movement and stop appeared very weird, and the position of its stagnation was the center of the area upied by the four Medusas. Immediately, that green color turned into a tornado, bursting out in countless green circles. With a piercing hissing sound, those four Medusas immediately screamed loudly. At this time they didnt even dare open their eyes, because the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy caused them to enter a dizzy state. What if the Petrifying Rays were to fall on theirrades? In fact, even the Medusas themselves werent immune to their Petrifying Rays. Nheless, these Medusas were still powerhouses of the sixth step. The snake hair on their head bubbled up frantically, in an attempt to resist against the green attacks. However, all their snake hair were reduced to fragments upon contact with the green light, which was the reason for their screams. That was a part of their own bodies! Chapter 441 - Demon God Transformation (III)

Chapter 441: Demon God Transformation (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Suddenly hearing screams behind him, the Snake Demon God Andromalius unconsciously looked back. This look seemed indifferent, but caused him to pale with fright the next instant. Because of the concealment of the demon god pir, he was unable to clearly see the appearance of that green light. In his train of thought, he naturally associated it to the Forest Boas, after all the spiritual energy emitted by them is also of this color. At the very moment that he was in battle with the Forest Boa King, coupled with the fact that the surrounding spiritual energy was under control of the Forest Boa King, this would massively affect his ns. The four Medusas were finally unable to bear any longer, and opened their eyes. Their snake hair were twisted in light, and that sharp aura already reached out from them. Be it demons or humans, in those circumstances, anyone would chose to save themselves. And they were after all able to sense the location of the enemy, but at the time they opened their eyes, the ones who appeared in their sight were their own kin. As for the splendid green figure from whom those dazzling skills originated, it was several meters away from their sight, causing him to be out of their field of view. The four of them were instantly petrified, as the Medusas ended up hitting each other. After getting petrified, their bodies sunk into the swamps. That green light didnt even give them the chance to be buried. Immediately kicking the four petrified Medusas, he sent them flying towards a distant vine. With a green glint, they disappeared from behind the demon god pir. Arrgh! Andromalius shouted in fury. Among the Devil Snakes, the most precious of his kin were the Medusas. Due to their petrifying abilities, reproducing them was extremely difficult. And with their level of power, they formed the left and right arms of the Devil Snake God. The mature Medusas among their whole race only had a count of six, among whom thest two were keeping watch over the territory, while the other four were brought along by Andromalius. But he never expected that these four Medusas would actually die in such murky circumstances. In his fury, it was naturally against the Forest Boa King towards whom all his rage was directed. This enmity could only be washed away with the blood of the enemy. This time, the Forest Boa King ended up unjustly med, and even he was unable to make head or tail of this situation. That was because he clearly sensed that the green glow was of wind element, thus not from his men. However, since someone else was giving him a helping hand, this made one more reason he couldnt let himself be done by Andromalius. Atop of that, with the disappearance from the threat of the four Medusas, the pressure on him was reduced by a big margin. This time of moderation permitted him to recover a lot of his spiritual energy, and now was the time for it to erupt, in the battle to death against Andromalius. The four petrified Medusas were already transferred into Long Haochens Eternal Melody. If he didnt take a good opportunity such as the previous one, Long Haochen wouldnt be true to himself. The Medusa sisters certainly have good perception, which could be seen from their ability to sense their surroundings even with the eyes closed. If they didnt have a good enough perception, how would they be able to aim for the enemies without their eyesight? For this reason, Long Haochen kept his aim locked at the Medusas but didnt take care of this by himself. In his original ns, he wanted to have Wang Yuanyuan dispose of them, as the instant teleportation from the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate was undoubtedly the most suited choice to kill the Medusas. However, Long Haochen was still worried by the fact that Wang Yuanyuan was only at the sixth step of cultivation. Although she also had grasp over antique martial techniques, confronting the four Medusas by herself remained risky. As Long Haochen was considering on who should apany Wang Yuanyuan, the Forest Boa King created a great chance for him. The Tenth Holy Guard then reappeared in the battlefield, performing a dance of wind without holding anything back. The four Medusas then ended getting caught in their own trap, finally getting disposed with their own Petrification Rays. Having managed to get rid of the four Medusas smoothly, Long Haochen undoubtedly breathed out with great relief. They werent like the Forest Boa King, who could resolve the problem of the Petrifying Rays with hisyers of skin. While settling someter troubles, this also relieved the Forest Boa King of a great inconvenience. The sh between these two great powerhouses obviously reached even greater tempo, which relieved Long Haochen of even more worries. Once again stepping back inside the dense fog, he murmured a sentence to the Tenth Holy Guard before going back to exterminate the Devil Snakes elite. But to avoid being found out by Andromalius, Long Haochen still showed a lot of self-control, exercising restraint on his light attribute to the greatest extent, and relying solely on sword intent to kill the enemies. His powerful senses enabled him to see in the fog like it was nothing, and what followed was the sessive cries of the Devil Snakes. At the same time, he intentionally avoided the Forest Boas, and the two sides that were originally no allies ended up matching well in the attack. Of course, Long Haochen wouldnt let the Devil Snakes elites disposed in his hands get swallowed in the swamps. These were Devil Snakes at least at the fifth step, and their corpse and internal pills both fetched for a great price. Has-drug bro will definitely appreciate these! Nheless, these Devil Snakes were elites among their n. After the short time of panic from getting ambushed, the few Devil Snakes acting as their leaders repeatedly hissed loudly, to guide them with sound, and call the other Devil Snakes to regroup. This way, even without a clear line of sight, the dozens of wounded Forest Boas would still no longer be a big threat for them. Long Haochen also ended up only able to hunt and kill a few of the Devil Snakes on the outside, and didnt dare approach recklessly. Having this many Devil Snake powerhouses attack him in a group would be quite terrible. And he couldnt consume too much of his important fighting power, for there was a battle that was awaiting himter. The Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius was now unable to attend to his own nsmen, as to him, nothing was more important than killing the Forest Boa King currently. This would enable him to raise his cultivation, having a good opportunity to advance to the ninth step! In his eyes, the Forest Boa King was the best tonic possible. The Forest Boa King wouldnt let himself be done in easily. His massive body burst out with a jadeite like radiance, and although the attacks of Andromalius kept inflicting scars on his body, his massive vitality was his best support. Unceasingly turning around, he attempted to twist Andromalius body, while opening hisrge mouth wide to bite him repeatedly, forcing him to proceed with utter care. Actually, the Forest Boa King shouldnt be in such disadvantage when facing Andromalius, even with the existence of the demon god pir. Although the Forest Boas dont have really powerful abilities, they still possess a massive vitality far above other magical beasts of the same rank. Even if ones body was cut to pieces, that wouldnt necessarily be mortally injured for it. It was just that, from having his internal pill bombarding the demon god pir before, the Forest Boa King suffered a reallyrge loss, wounded to his core, which led to such a disadvantageous situation for him. Andromalius was covered in a dark red luster. Although his figure after Demon God Transformation became massive, it remained agile, and with that, the dual snake spears in his hands kept going up and down, not giving the Forest Boa King any chance of damaging him, while leaving scars on his body without pause. _Arent you strong in vitality? Then let me exhaust your vitality until it ends._ At the same time, Andromalius still had arge fear of Forest Boa Kings internal pill, which is why he didnt dare use his whole strength at once. The cunning of the Forest Boa King was something that gave him trouble not once or twice. Dark green blood was continuously gushing out from the confrontation between these two great powerhouses. The Forest Boa King was visibly weakened, and with the backup from the demon god pir, Andromalius darkness spiritual energy seemed inexhaustible. Above his snake spears, ten meter long dark red radiances were sprayed out. He didnt even use skills to attack from a distance, repeatedly leaping up, and attacking. All he used were the most direct and barbaric ways to wound the massive Forest Boa King. Finally, the Forest Boa Kings body became unable to bear, and suddenly letting out a howl of rage, he once again spouted a dark green glow. Andromalius remained very tense up till now, only waiting for this. With a sh of reddish ck light, his body disappeared baselessly, appearing at the rear of his demon god pir. There was no doubt that he was waiting for this. At the time the internal pill of the Forest Boa King once again smashed the demon god pir, his victory would be certain. However, just like Andromalius kept scheming against the Forest Boa King, the Forest Boa King simrly schemed against him. That dark green light only advanced for one meter, before getting absorbed back, without shooting for real. Then, the massive Forest Boa King directly sunk into the swamps. The swamps. This was the true territory of the Forest Boa King. The reason why Forest Boa King hadnt done this before wasnt because he didnt want to, but because he didnt dare. With how massive his body was, even if his strength was even greater, entering the swamps needed time, and that short span of time was sufficient for Andromalius to inflict serious injuries to him. So this time, Andromalius turned out to be the one who was fooled. Relying on the ability of instant return to teleport beside his demon god pir to avoid that attack, he gave the Forest Boa King sufficient time to escape into the swamps. And furthermore, the teleportation ability of the demon god pir isnt useable as one wishes. After every use, one would need to wait a long time before using it again. This teleportation in itself isnt an ability belonging to Andromalius, thus could only be used within a certain range. Otherwise, if the demon gods were able to teleport out of any ambush, humanity would have been screwed long ago. This time, Andromalius nose turned at a crooked angle, and his response still ended up toote. The Forest Boa King was already back in the swamps, and all he could do was to vent out on these oozy swamps, attacking it at full strength with the hope to inflict some wounds to the Forest Boa King indirectly. In the ooze, the Forest Boa King was like a fish in the water, and the traces of his presence disappeared instantly. These two powerhouses were fighting and scheming against each other, and with the stratagems both sides relied on, it could be said that none of them managed to entirely suppress the other. Andromalius was also extremely shrewd. Seeing his opponent disappear, his rough tail was immediately flung in front of the demon god pir, pushing himself to climb on top of it, to leave the area of swamps. Only by relying on the demon god pir, his strength was disyed at its greatest heights while the Forest Boa King was greatly weakened. With the enemy having gone out of sight, he opted for the most reliable choice, truly proving himself to be one of the seventy-two demon gods. Chapter 442 - Craftiness and Mutual Destruction (I)

Chapter 442: Craftiness and Mutual Destruction (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The Forest Boa King didnt show initiative of attacking once again, waiting for an opportunity. The time they were fighting to their hearts contents just before visibly eased down. Powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy circted in the air, and both knew their opponent was watching them, but no one dared move. At their level of strength, in case one gets seriously wounded, turning over the situation would be very difficult. The Forest Boa King had already threatened his life before, and if not for how he deceived Andromalius, he would very possibly have been suppressed to death. Andromalius brain was operating rapidly, and his senses spreading out. Pointing his snake spears to the ground, he didnt dare rx. However, he quickly found a chance. Now that the Forest Boa Kings body disappeared in the swamps, that cave he was obstructing before appeared in his view. From the human point of view, this cave could be considered veryrge, but to the Forest Boa King or the Demon God Transformed Andromalius, it wasnt very wide. Its diameter was roughly thirty meters, the whole cave was surrounded with vines, spreading out from the swamps. Vaguely, one could see a faint light shining inside the cave. Without a doubt, life is more precious than any treasures, and after getting threatened fatally, the Forest Boa King had to renounce on the defense of this cave. A cold smile appeared on the face of Andromalius, _So you want to hide? Okay, but I dont believe youd abandon that cave._ The treasure inside this cave was originally the first objective of Andromalius. No matter whether he could kill the Forest Boa King or search for this treasure, the final result was good. At least this wont have turned into a wasted trip. After locking his target, Andromalius, moved without hurry. Attaching himself to his demon god pir, he kept breathing. That pir started to exude some brilliant ck rays, that was absorbed into his abdomen. This kept increasing his imposing stature, and recovered the spiritual energy he had consumed before at an astonishing speed. No matter what one may say, the demon god standing near this demon god pir was still thest ranked of all, but with its support, he still managed, against the expectations, to suppress a Forest Boa King of the Tenth step. A massive body started curling up and on its back, a pair ofrge ck wings unfolded, emitting some dark red color. Some sort of dark red color throbbing veins could clearly be seen on him, as Andromalius breathing kept going on. Seeing that he was on the verge of being back to his peak state, Andromalius finally set on move. His curling body suddenly ejected, shooting like a bolt of dark red lightning inside the cave. From his demon god pir to the cave, the distance was close to two or three hundred meters, but given his strength and speed, and with the assistance from the wings on his back, he reached it almost instantaneously. Attacking to bait the enemy out. This was his plot. The Forest Boa King had no choice but give in to this overt plot, unless he epted to let go of the treasure inside of this cave. But very clearly, the Forest Boa King was unwilling to let go of it. The instant right before Andromalius reached the cave, an intense green light erupted from the swamps, mixing with the ooze to form a greenish ck color. This was the umted spiritual energy, that unexpectedly showed a solidified shape. For the sake of the thing in that cave, the Forest Boa King was doing his utmost, because the thing inside of that cave was just too important in his eyes. Since Andromalius dared act, he clearly made his preparations long ago. That greenish ck projectile was precisely the internal pill of the Forest Boa King, shot out with all his force. At the time it was spouted, the Forest Boa Kings head also charged out from the swamps. A strange scene followed. Surprisingly, Andromalius ignored that pill, and waved up his two spears, thrusting at the Forest Boa King. No matter how cunning this Forest Boa King was, he couldnt have expected Andromalius to dare meet him so recklessly. His original n was to frighten Andromalius and push him to escape. The internal pill of a magical beast of tenth step, is it something so easy to bear? The unshakable demon god pir aside, if thisnded onto Andromalius, it would be fatal to him. However, all of this happened too fast, and even if the Forest Boa King wanted to change his attack, it was already impossible at this point. _Boom!_ Arrhg! A severe explosion urred at the same time as enraged roars were heard. The source of it was the attack from the Forest Boas internal pill. That powerful internal pill smashed the chest of the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius, producing a violent explosion that tore his whole chest to shreds, and produced a hole of diameter exceeding two meters around the wound. But the Forest Boa King was no better off. As Andromalius staked everything at once, his snake spears hit his eyes with a piercing blow, going as far as to prate his head. Dark green blood was flowing along with a red liquid in all directions. A concentrated fishy stench spread immediately all around A mutual destruction? No. In the contest of scheme, the final winner still ended up to be Andromalius. From having his chest pierced, Andromalius fell into the swamps, but his massive body rapidly turned into countless specks of ckish red light flying in the direction of the demon god pir. Andromalius being originally five meters tall, appeared now at the other side of the Forest Boa King. And the two long spears that pierced the head of the Forest Boa gradually shrank in size. Demon God Incarnation was a powerful ability brought by a demon god pir. And this scene was clearly seen by Long Haochen, who was back to the edge of their battlefield. He couldnt help but let out a breath at the scene. If he didnt see it personally, he wouldnt have been able to imagine that Andromalius actually had such a powerful ability in reserve. Using himself as bait, andunching the fatal blow at a time the enemy was certain to get baited. Andromalius n went as expected, and the Forest Boa King finally ended up dead. However, Andromalius wasnt very well either. Dark red blood kept flowing out from his cavities, and his originally sinister looks became all the more intimidating. All of this just happened too fast, and no one could have anticipated the conclusion to turn out this way. Nheless, the battle wasnt yet over, and the Forest Boa King with fatal wounds at the head turned back madly, immediately setting off at the direction of the wide expanse of swamps. Terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy immediately burst out at astonishing speed, just like hundred magical cannons shooting at once. Long Haochen didnt dare stay there, and rapidly brought the Tenth Holy Guard away from there. Thest struggle from a magical beast of the tenth step was terrifying. Andromalius pped his wings, going up in the air. He unexpectedly tried to conceal his own presence, covered in a ck cover, and letting none of his blood drop. Actually, using Demon God Incarnation came with a severe overdraft to Andromalius. In case this ability is used, Demon God Transformation would be sealed for a short time, and he would be injured to the core. It wasnt as simple as Long Haochen saw it: just like a spiritual stove, with a greater power came a more severe bacsh. If he had the choice, Andromalius would rather not have used this trump card, but he had no other choice. If he went for the safe way, that would scare away the severely wounded Forest Boa King, whod let go of the treasure inside. But he was unwilling to let go of the great tonic the Forest Boa King could serve as! For this reason, he didnt even want to give the Forest Boa King the opportunity to go away and could only use himself as bait for that, for the sake of inflicting the fatal blow. The frantic struggle of the Forest Boa Kingsted for more than a quarter of an hour, but this prepared blow of Andromalius was just too powerful. For whichever magical beast, having ones brain pierced and devastated by darkness spiritual energy would hardlye with a chance of survival. With this severe injury, the massive vital force of the Forest Boa King was slipping out with no choice. Andromalius was actually not the slightest bit worried anymore. This time, his damage was just disastrous. Four Medusas ended up killed, though, the reward was also massive. When thinking of his advancement to the ninth step, gaining him at least a ce at the top forty-eight demon gods, his heart started to burn. Moreover, he still didnt know what treasure the Forest Boa King was defending. For the Forest Boa King to be so attached to it, it shouldnt be ordinary. Thinking about it, Andromalius body started to convulse in excitement. Finally, the struggles of the Forest Boa King weakened, and even his internal pill fell into the swamps, instead of getting swallowed back. His massive vital force was already close to nonexistent. Andromalius rxed his breath, an unbearable intense curiosity filling him. Seeing the internal pill devoid of the aura from the Forest Boa, he was unable to control the ecstasy filling him. The wings on his back vanished. And quietly approaching the swamps, Andromalius was still filled with great confidence regarding hisst blow. And he also had full confidence in his perception, due to sensing that the internal pill was indeed devoid of the aura belonging to the Forest Boa King. A magical beast of the tenth step that even let go of his own internal pill, could only have done so if his soul already left this world eternally. Quietly falling atop of the swamp, Andromalius grabbed the internal pill with his hand. Of course, he didnt choose this ce to absorb the internal pill of the Forest Boa King. This thing was certainly precious, but the spiritual energy umted inside was really massive. The best course of action was to return to safety before taking the time to absorb it, for the sake of breaking through his final bottleneck. cing the internal pill in his hand and verifying that it had no trace left of the aura of the Forest Boa King, the Devil Snake Andromalius finally loosened his vignce. After so long, he finally achieved his objective. His ecstasy from this was as one might well imagine. However, it was actually too soon for him to celebrate. The instant he let loose his guard, the Forest Boa King that seemed devoid of life suddenly moved. That head already soaked in blood suddenly flung to the side, fiercely aiming at the back of Andromalius. Chapter 443 - Craftiness and Mutual Destruction(II)

Chapter 443: Craftiness and Mutual Destruction(II)

Trantor: GravityTales With a Peng, Andromalius was fiercely sent away. As he was shot, soaking in blood, one could clearly hear the sounds of the bones cracking in his body. Given his identity as the Devil Snake Demon God, Andromalius was extremely supple and tough. With the extreme level reached by his external spiritual energy, he was able to counteract the majority of the power in the attack. However, one shouldnt forget that he was already wounded , and wasnt in the Demon God Transformation state. How could a magical beast of the tenth rank be so easily handled? The changes indeed happened just too fast. As the saying goes, that a centipede dies but never falls down. Although the Forest Boa King was already injured fatally, was filled with bitter hate towards Andromalius. He finally kept a bit of his vital force concealed, and even severed his connection with his internal pill just for the sake of fooling Andromalius, and finallyunch a fatal blow at him. After this was done, his soul finally went to the other side, and astonishingly, his massive body still didnt sank into the swamps. Just like Andromalius didnt expect that, the observing Long Haochen didnt expect that either. He was originally prepared to set to move, but upon seeing that scene, he stopped in his tracks, already starting nning his next move. These two crafty foxes still ended up in mutual destruction. To hisrades and himself, this was the best possible oue. In a short time, Long Haochen already came to a decision, hinting the nearby Tenth Holy Guard who turned into a green glow of light, and didnt go chase after the severely wounded Devil Snake Andromalius, but rushed into that cave, whose interior was slightly twinkling. This was done for the sake of securing the path. Long Haochen was now going to dispose of Andromalius in the same way he disposed of the Forest Boa King. Andromalius ended up getting caught in thest struggle of the Forest Boa King. This knock sent him several hundred meters away, with blood flowing out continuously from his mouth. One of his wings was severed, and dark red blood was spreading over his whole body, giving rise to a macabre scene. However, he was still in the end a demon god, who managed to save himself at the instant he was attacked. Fortunately for him, thest attack of the Forest Boa King wasnt from the internal pill, so even though it inflicted him severe wounds, that was nothing fatal. The distant knock happened on vines atop the swamps, apanied with a severe pain, that nearly caused him to fall unconscious. He never expected that the Forest Boa King would plot against him even after his death. And his internal pill was sent flying afar during this severe attack, and sent bouncing back after colliding against a vine, before falling in another side of the swamps. Just like the body of the Forest Boa King, his internal pill didnt submerge inside the swamps, but let out a faintly discernible dark green light. At the time his body suffered a terrible and unbearable pain, Andromalius saw a green glow head towards the cave. Its speed wasnt extremely fast, so at the time he noticed it, it was still about five meters away from the cave. Argh. Andromalius let out a terrible shout of rage. He didnt even see clearly who was that enemy, but his body soared up anew, and jumped towards the cave at full strength. Since that green light was small, it was visibly not a Forest Boa. But no matter who that was, seeing ite out at such a convenient time just aggravated the fury of the Devil Snake Demon God. However, that shout of rage from Andromalius was not directed at venting out his anger, but summoning his nsmen. This wasnt from cowardice, but out of caution. Currently he was seriously wounded, and naturally couldnt let his guard down. Although he didnt sense any threat from those green fluctuations of spiritual energy, he still immediately summoned them. A lot of dark red blood was leaking out from his body. At the time he headed out towards the cave, he still had some hesitation. Meanwhile, a glow of light followed the green figure at extremely fast speed, prating into the cave and attracting on its way the internal pill of that Forest Boa King with a white glow of light, causing Andromalius to be incapable of retaining his calm. Seeing his targets get robbed by outsiders, how could the Devil Snake Demon God bear any more? With a shout of rage, he immediately went after the figure that entered in the cave. At the same time Andromalius entered the cave, some figures appeared from the dense fog. The Devil Snakes were clearly in a difficult situation, from the ambush of the Forest Boas and Long Haochens attack, their numbers plummeted. Hearing the summon of the Devil Snake Demon God, they hurried there, right at time to see the back of Andromalius who was disappearing into the cave. A crowd of Devil Snakes hurried to follow after him, but this time, another golden figure tightly chased after them, entering the cave. With a purple glow of light, a huge monster appeared at the entrance of the cave,pletely blocking it out. Yellow earth radiance noiselessly spread out under the Devil Snakes, covering a wide range. At that time, the tired Devil Snakes felt their tails submerge onto the ground, beginning to sink into the swamps, they turned pale with fright. Though, this realization still camete. At the time they were beginning to struggle, the swamps that caught their tails already hardened, switching from its former soft and supple state to an iparable tough state. Faintly, its surface seemed to let out a gloss of gem, letting out a dense coldness, that caused them to go numb. Two figures noiselessly appeared afar. They were d in arge coat, and from them spread out light of different colors. One was yellow, and one was blue, symbols of the earth expert Ninth Holy Guard and the ice expert Eleventh Holy Guard The Eleventh Holy Guard deliberately ced himself slightly behind the Ninth Holy Guard. From this could one see that even if they were both holy guards, their positions still differed. The Ninth Holy Guardbined the Gravity Technique with the Earth-to-Rock Condensation, and the Eleventh Holy Guard used Ice Region, forming a spell of dual ice and earth elements. This spell could be said to be formed of the fusion between three spells of the seventh step, making its power as great as one might well imagine. This performance also reflected the gap between the ninth and the eleventh holy guards. Both at the seventh step, but in the same interval of time, the Eleventh Holy Guard managed to use only one spell of the seventh step, whereas the Ninth Holy Guard managed to use two. This corresponded to a strength at the peak of the seventh step! Among all of Long Haochens aides, the Ninth Holy Guard was undoubtedly the strongest. At the time they were in the Tower of Eternity, Caiers ambush and the Ninth Holy Guard underestimating them helped in their win in one move, but in terms of strength, even Long Haochen with Haoyue wouldnt necessarily win against this one. Against these three powerful spell at the seventh step, those ordinary Devil Snakes at the fifth or sixth step ended up imprisoned without a way out. The loose soil of the swamp was one thing, but what if it was congealed and then transformed into rock? Struggling out of that was in no way easy. This was only possible by crushing the rock, but how could it be done without injuring oneself? Moreover, they werent even given the opportunity to crush the rock, having gotten frozen and the frozen parts turned into rock. Getting free of that couldnt be done in a quick time. To snakes, the cold was one of the most feared predators. Upon reaching winter, snakes would go into hibernation, because they were unable to produce enough heat from their bodies to counteract the cold. In this situation of extreme cold, these Devil snakes were shuddering and greatly plummeting in strength. Then followed the time of the two holy guards performances. A veryrge stone was extracted from the ground and brazenly thrown at the Devil Snakes, then Ice and Snow Storm followed. In crowd battle, the killing power of mages was undoubtedly quite fearful. Moreover, on the other side, guarding the entrance of the cave, was the massive powerhouse, Haoyue. After Haoyue blocked up the entrance to the cave, his fiverge heads sshed out powerful spells like five big magic cannons. The first round came as a surprise attack, and then followed spells of various elements. His control over each different attribute was clearly no match for the two holy guards. But he had a grasp over five different elements! When the five elements were used at different times, their power would naturally vary as well. For instance, at the present time, Little Green, Little Blue, and Little Light were mostly focused on battle, while Little mepletely abandoned the attack to stay on guard and watch over the surroundings. While Little Purple focused on absorbing the thick poisonous gas in the air. One could say that it was as if seven mages of the seventh step were confronting these severely wounded Devil Snakes. At the same time, when these Devil Snakes were hit by these spells, manyrge green figures started wandering from the forest. With the death of the Forest Boa King, the Devil Snakes undoubtedly became the mortal enemy of the Forest Boas. These massive Forest Boas were all covered in bruises, but still came back to kill them. Relying on their enormous sizes to resist the cold, they forced their charge. Braving the terrible spells, they were close tounching suicide attacks against these Devil Snakes. The Forest Boas were few in quantity, but their magic tolerance far exceeded the Devil Snakes . At the time these Forest Boas appeared, they were bound to bring a tragedy upon the Devil Snakes. The situation outside was already in grasp, but what about inside? Without a doubt, the one who came first into the cave, and attracted the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius was naturally the Eleventh Holy Guard. At that time, it was because Long Haochen gave him the order to slow down intentionally that his flight speed was slow, so that Andromalius would see him enter. Otherwise, how could he take the bait ? Since Andromalius and the Forest Boa King destroyed each other mutually, this situation was an excellent opportunity for Long Haochen. This was a golden opportunity! However, he was a witness of the cunningness of the two great powerhouses, so even if he had confidence in this situation, he still remained prudent while executing his scheme against Andromalius. Just like they had seen it in the previous confrontation, this cave was very important. Although he didnt know about the treasure inside, given how the Forest Boa King valued it, how could it becking? Even if Andromalius still had some hesitation, the first golden figure having grabbed the internal pill of the Forest Boa King, he had to follow. Even if he were aware that this was a trap, he had to force himself to enter this cave. In truth, the golden figure was Yating, who used the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove. Chapter 444 - Craftiness and Mutual Destruction (III)

Chapter 444: Craftiness and Mutual Destruction (III)

Trantor: GravityTales After entering the cave, Andromalius saw the surrounding light dim down, yet he could clearly sense that the depths of the cave contained a faintly discernible light. But the origin of this light wasnt the issue currently guing Andromalius mind. He wanted to take the internal pill of the Forest Boa King back. He suffered severe wounds, to the point that without this internal pill, let alone raise in strength, even recoveringpletely would be impossible for him. This was the reason why he had no choice but to be deceived by Forest Boa King for his final attack. Before entering the depths of the cave, the two figures stopped; At the time Andromalius saw that this green figure was actually a skeleton with mes in its eyes, he couldnt help but be startled. Beside the green skeleton was Yating, glowing in bright light. Mentioning it, it seemed to be quite a coincidence that Yating and the Eleventh Holy Guard both had six wings on their backs. When standing together, they gave off some feelings of making a good match. However, the aura surrounding their bodies wasnt excessively powerful, which made Andromalius rx. With a single nce, he found the internal pill in Yatings hands. Give it back. Your corpses will then be left intact. Andromalius let out a fierce enraged cry, as dark red blood kept dripping from his back. Yating sneered, raising her hand, she aimed a white streak of light at Andromalius. He attempted to block, but that soft white light didnt have offensive uses, and thus couldnt be blocked this way. The Devil Snake Demon God only felt as if he was bound by something, and unconsciously turned back, finding out two golden figures standing there. Meanwhile, Haoyuesrge butt kept the entrance sealed tightly. In terms of size, Andromalius was a lot smaller than Haoyue without using the Demon God Transformation. Although his size was over five meters, he was still able to move unhindered in this cave which had a diameter of three meters. But the extremelyrge built Haoyue was unable to enter, so blocking the entrance was visibly the best duty for him. The reason why Long Haochen drew the Devil Snake Demon God inside the cave to move against him was very simple; it was to keep Andromalius away from his demon god pir. Long Haochen clearly saw the amplification that a demon god pir was able to bestow a demon god. Its massive utility enabled Andromalius who was still at the eighth step to kill the Forest Boa King of the ninth step. From this, one can well imagine the terror of this amplification. Although Long Haochen guessed that the Devil Snake Demon God already exhausted his abilities, he didnt dare take a bet, neither could he afford to. For this reason, he attracted Andromalius here very prudently, so that he wouldnt get close to his pir. Although the distance couldnt be considered very far, this was still a lot better than fighting him beside his demon god pir. Andromalius saw through Long Haochens n at one nce, reaching to his own conclusions. This armor d human youth seemed to be only at the seventh step of cultivation in Andromalius senses, but for some reason, the first time he saw Long Haochen he felt as if his heart was subjected to great pain, sign of an ominous premonition. Having fallen in danger from pursuing a narrow gain, and due to having used all his strength to kill the Forest Boa King, he didnt expect to encounter humans here. And this should be a human knight. The light element shining upon Long Haochen was really really pure. At this time, Long Haochen showed no reservation, with his left hand holding the Rippling Light, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand. Pointing them to the ground, he coldly looked at Andromalius. A sharp sword intent was faintly discernible around him. Although Long Haochen remained still, Andromalius felt uneasy and nervous, as if Long Haochen was himself a very sharp sword. He waspletely certain that this sharpness wasnt something his external spiritual energy could block. If this was before he got wounded, Andromalius wouldnt even consider Long Haochen as a threat. In his view, an enemy with this kind of cultivation level could be crushed just with the overwhelming dominance of his spiritual energy, but the current situation wasnt the same. His wound was fatal, and he was unable to use Demon God Transformation. This reduced his current strength to one sixth of was it should be, so when confronting such a human knight, how could he not be subject to a massive pressure? Human, how can you be there? Andromalius knew that his question could feel puerile, but he couldnt help but want to ask. This was just too strange. He didnt detect the slightest hint of him through his senses, plus the timing of appearance of this human was just too good. Long Haochen showed an indifferent smile, Hi, Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius. If I said this was a fluke, would you believe it? Actually, it is due to luck, or perhaps should I say that it is a gift from heaven, for us to have encountered you at the time of your sh against the Forest Boa King. On this time of this day, this is going to be your grave. As he spoke, Long Haochen wouldnt give Andromalius any time for healing his injuries. His left foot took a stride forward, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his hand struck against Andromalius. A void-like sword intent abruptly condensed. Unlike the time against AhBao, it didnt appear as deep as nothingness, but widely spread, pressing forward with a tyrannical bearing; Cutting the mountains in the way, drying the water in the way. These were the principles behind the sword intent in Long Haochens strike. Andromalius hand was even devoid of weapon, as his two snake spears that drilled through the head of the Forest Boa King were still left in his corpse. With a low sounding roar, Andromalius waved his right fist forward, letting out a strong burst of spiralling dark element, which turned into a sort of ck hole, blowing with powerful darkness elemental fluctuations as it aimed right at Long Haochen. At this time, speaking further didnt hold sense. Killing the enemy was the only way out, so Andromalius chose to take the risk. But right at this moment, at his back, a sharp attack came, piercing the wound he had before. Now that Andromalius was attracted due to the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stoves Attraction, he was only able to target Long Haochen, without any other choice. Though, even if he had the choice, he would still choose to target this knight, who was the greatest threat to him. A somewhat bizarre Pop sound rang out, and Long Hoachens whole body burst in bright light. He drew back slightly, but the ck whirlpool from Andromalius fist was cut open, and Andromalius body also swayed from that. From this, the weak state of Andromalius was once again confirmed. The Tenth Holy Guard attacked in a sh, appearing like a green electric light bursting right against Andromalius. His pair of daggers managed to thoroughly cut off the severed wing on Andromalius back. The Tenth Holy Guard showed extreme mastery, not only cutting off that wing, but also piercing some thick veins on his back. For a moment, on Andromalius back, dark red blood started to gush out like a fountain. Long Haochen drew back only slightly, and his attack immediately resumed. With a heavy blow and a jump came Condemning Revolving Sword. His strategy consisted on overwhelming Andromalius, without giving him the slightest chance. At the same time heunched this blow, the attack of the Tenth Holy Guard followed once again, aiming at Andromalius back. His technique was simr to Long haochen, but without borrowing enemy force. This was the Wind Dance he used previously to dispose of the Medusas. Not only that, but some golden starlight started to gather, forming a brilliant spear. Shot from behind, it aimed at Andromalius neck. The massive threat aroused Andromaliustent capabilities, letting thempletely break through. Although he was seriously wounded, he was after all one of the seventy-two demon gods, and he naturally had a strong desire for survival. He already thought it deeply, and reached the conclusion that fleeing was his only way out, that he couldnt afford to covet the treasure residing here any longer. As long as he managed to rush out, with so many of his subordinates outside, he would perhaps have the opportunity to make aeback. If these enemies really stopped him here, he would then perhaps never be able toe out. Looking up at the sky, Andromalius made a strange movement. Executing a horse stance, and directing his hands to the ground, one could clearly see that some dark red light was abruptly bursting out from his body. Then immediately, an intense dark red radiance propagated, forming a barrier that covered his whole body inside. If one looked carefully, he would find out that this barrier covering him looked very close to the design on the demon god pir. The attacks of Long Haochens group of three fell onto this barrier, and carried an incredible amount of fluctuations of spiritual energy, but was left without way to break through. It felt as if they were directly attacking the demon god pir. The demon god pir outside seemed to sense the crisis of Andromalius, and started to shake lightly. A dark red radiance then gushed out from it, rushing like an arrow at Haoyue who was guarding the cave. Without a doubt, this dark red radiance was here to rescue Andromalius, and was hisst life-saving trump. In case he managed to blend with this dark red glint, he would get absorbed by the light to get sealed inside of the demon god pir. Although this would seal for at least three years, it would at least keep him alive. If the enemy was only Long Haochens group, perhaps Andromalius could have his way with them, but to his misfortune, Haoyue was also present, the Haoyue that even the Demon God Emperor feared. In front of the radiance let out by the demon god pir, Haoyues fiverge heads were suddenly lifted up, and their eyes glinted with simr gloss. It was quite a bizarre look, containing hatred, gloominess, and even more rage and sadness. His fiverge heads were lifted and let out roars of rage. All their eyes turned into a purple color, with ayer of purple light rippling around Haoyues body. At this point, his grandeur and power rose to the extent that it resembled a ruler controlling all the creatures in this world. Chapter 445 - Ending of the Snake Demon God

Chapter 445: Ending of the Snake Demon God

Trantor: GravityTales Immediately, the fiverge heads madly puffed out, letting out ripples of purple intent that weed the bubbling dark red radiance. What followed was an impressive scene; that dark red light met with the purple intents aura, and then melted instantly likeva. Let alone saving Andromalius inside the cave, it didnt even manage to pass through Haoyue. Not only that, but the purple intent spreading out from Haoyue starting bubbling out inside the cave. Long Haochen felt his senses shaking, and when that purple intent came in contact with the barrier protecting Andromalius, it instantly melted, something thebined attacks of the three of Long Haochens group didnt even manage to breach it. The Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius looked nk, Its Impossible! He didnt want to believe that this situation was real, but it happened right before his eyes. Glinding forward andunching a cross-cut, Long Haochen left him with no opportunity of recovering his breath. Although he didnt know what Haoyue did, getting rid of Andromalius defense undoubtedly created a good opportunity for them. Andromalius stopped Long Haochens attack, with his pitch-ck spiritual energy forming a sort of armor as defense. Therge tail on his back also rose, resisting the following attacks of the Tenth Holy Guard and Yating. However, he was now only able to defend. A cold smirk appeared in Long Haochens face. Defending? But even defending wont help you. Because he didnt know the situation outside, Long Haochen assumed that Haoyue and the two holy guards could be under great pressure. For this reason, he couldnt waste any time. With a sh of red light, a sharp de-shaped projectile left a scar on Andromalius body. The Twelfth Holy Guard was the source of that attack. Being the one who instructed Long Haochen about martial techniques, he was the best choice to finish off this enemy. While the Twelfth Holy Guard stepped forward, taking Long Haochens ce, he started summoning hisrades now that he had his hands free. With glints of bright light, a total of four figures appeared beside Long Haochen. Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu appeared at the same time beside Long Haochen, and were prepared since long before. Upon appearing, they didnt need Long Haochen to say anything, and went in ordance with the original n, releasing their spiritual energy all around immediately. Long Haochen instructed Lin Xin, Go outside first to assist Haoyues group with scrolls. The others, follow me for an all out attack. The diameter of three meters of the cave restricted Andromalius to some extent, but it was sufficient for Long Haochens group. At this time, there came no need for technical prowess. All they needed was to use their greatest strength to kill the enemy before them. Long Haochen remained motionless. Retrieving the Rippling Light in his hand, he wielded the Aria of the Goddess Light with both his hands, immediately surrounded with a golden colored fog. Storing Power! The other three rushed out together. Sima Xian had the Energetic Ball of Light, Wang Yuanyuan the Divine Soul Shield, and Han Yu had the Wild Scarlet Blood, all of whom were unleashing their greatest abilities. With Sima Xian in the middle, Wang Yuanyuan to the left and Han Yu to the right came their full force assault against Andromalius. Currently, Andromalius already forgot his gloominess. Rather than gloomy, he became sullen. If he was in his peak state instead, what would there be for him to fear in these humans!? Even if he was even dumber, he would still understand that he was dealing with a human Demon Hunt Squad. And furthermore, it should be one with only one powerhouse at the seventh step, and all the rest of the members at the sixth step. But even such a Demon Hunt Squad was for his current state a fatal threat. Three pieces of legendary equipment werent anything so easy to resist, especially Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light. Unleashing all his firepower, Sima Xian immediately went in Madness mode, also taking a Bloodthirsty Pill handed by Lin Xin. The power of the Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder also erupted, making this an attack disregarding all costs. At this state of Sima Xians, even if Long Haochen were to meet him, he would only be able to try to escape him and no more. _Bang._ Smash, Crush, Absorption and Triple st were added up to the Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder. Once the Energetical Ball of Light was smashed for the first time, colliding against Andromalius massive figure, it produced a very powerful initial show of strength. This cave was only three meters in diameter, and although moving straight was a breeze for Andromalius in this surroundings, moving in the air was clearly impossible to him. In this situation, he could only stay firm in defense. The Energetic Ball of Light of one meter diameter bombarded his hands crossed in front of his body, covering Andromalius in bits of pieces of purple thunder and lighting. His massive body was unable to stop itself from spasming and trembling, slowing down his responses. More terrifyingly, his two hands became scorched ck, and arge amount of his spiritual energy used in defense was tornpletely. The ones present being only powerhouses adept at making good use of opportunities, none of them would let go of this good chance; Therefore, the Tenth Holy Guard, the twelfth, Yating, and Han Yu as well as Wang Yuanyuan aimed their attacks at Andromalius sessively, all of which left deep traces on him. The most treacherous remained the Tenth Holy Guard, who aimed right at the original wound of Andromalius. Now that wounds were added up at the same location, the inside of the bone crackled by the Forest Boa King was already visible. The Tenth Holy Guard was simply dissecting this bone, letting a lot of fleshe out. This gave Andromalius huge pain. The Twelfth Holy Guard was rather open hearted, aiming at his waist. At least half of his massive bone de entered vital parts of Andromalius waist at every attack. With the Divine Soul Shield directly embedded with gems, Wang Yuanyuan aimed for his shoulder, whereas Han Yus Wild Scarlet Blood made him go on a berserk mode, frantically producing scars without pause. Yating in the opposite used a healing spell on Andromalius, Great Recovery. While it was an effective healing spell when targeting Long Haochen, the targeted darkness element user Andromalius was like someone being bathed in iced water. Andromalius current appearance was just too wrecked. But even so, his tenaciousness and fighting spirit still didnt disappear. As he let out an enraged shout at the direction of the sky, dark red mes suddenly started igniting on his forehead, as he struggled with full force, stubbornly pushing everyone away, as the violent dark red mes ignited his whole body. To everyones astonishment, the wounds on Andromalius body started to heal at an astonishing speed. Also, his physical power rose sharply, as if going back to his previous peak state. _How can that be? He has just gotten wounded so severely, but how can he recover so fast?_ Everyone felt discouraged in the midst of their shock. If Andromalius really recovers to his peak state, the ones to be afraid and having to flee would instead be their group. However, one of them still maintained his calm, and that was Long Haochen. Dont panic, hes using the Demonic Copse Great Spell! Long Haochen shouted in a low voice, and still kept storing his power. His ardent look still kept staring fixedly at the Devil Snake Demon God whose strength was rapidly increasing. _Thats right! Andromalius is already wounded to such extent, and doesnt have his demon god pir nearby. How can he still recover from these wounds, and at such fast speed?_ There was only one possible answer, and it was the use of an unusual and extraordinary technique. The Demonic Copse Great Spell was extremely tyrannical, and even a demon god would suffer really severe side-effect from using it. Given the present state of Andromalius, using it was like letting go of half a life. But he didnt have the choice, as this was hisst opportunity to life. But the weaker the state of the body is, the shorter the duration of the Demonic Copse Great Spell wouldst! After getting warned by Long Haochen, everyone gathered side by side. After being a team for so long, their level of coordination was already ample. As long as Andromalius was stopped from going out, the Demonic Copse Great Spell would only cause his own copse. Because of the great might of the Saint Spiritual Stove, the others didnt need to consider anything else, and could give their all towards offense. The tenth and the twelfth holy guards drew back to Long Haochens side, and Yating transformed into light to enter the Aria of the Goddess of Light. At this very moment, on Long Haochens body an intense dark golden fire was soaring. It was different from before, that was that it didnt only appear on the Aria of the Goddess of Light this time, but on Long Haochens whole body. After going through Storing Power, Long Haochen ignited to a great extent his own spiritual energy. This was his exclusive fire as a gods chosen one! Outside of the cave, the disky swamps suddenly started to look shiny, and an illusory silhouette of the goddess of light quietly appeared from nowhere, illuminating all the surroundings. A great expanse of poisonous swamps was routed by her aura, which also lighted up the messy area of swamps. The amount of Devil Snakes alive were already close to naught. Haoyue, the ninth and eleventh holy guards, and Lin Xin who came to the foldter with his scrolls had almost already wiped out the several hundreds Devil Snakes thoroughly. These Devil Snakes and Forest Boas had a massive consumption from their previous battle; in such circumstances, how could they still bear this sudden barrage of powerful spells? Inside the cave, a series ofrge bangs were heard. Wang Yuanyuans Space Splitting Saut, Sima Xians Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder, and Han Yus Holy Sword plus Asura Strike, all consecutively bombarded the Devil God Snake. Although they were all repelled without exception, Andromalius rising imposing manner was close to exhaustion due to them. A massive blue fire skull appeared at this time, fiercely striking the chest of Andromalius, giving him a sluggish sensation as he was prepared to make another attempt to rush out. The leftover threat from the Devil Snakes outside wasnt much, so Lin Xin returned back to hisrades after throwing some scrolls. hu At the current moment, Andromalius looked iparably intimidating. On his whole body,rge veins were swelling, and his dark red blood already made his appearance unrecognizable. Only the imposing manner from his body was really powerful, and he seemed to have regained the bearing of someone at the peak of the eighth step. Both his hands were covered in thick scales, he crossed his hands, as he attempted to resist the Fire Curse attack from Lin Xin, which ended up with his hands getting burnt in scorch ck. The terrible temperature from the Heart of mes fire produced quite a significant damage. Raah, Raah, Raah. Andromalius let out enraged roar close to a magical beasts, and frantically unleashed the terrible spiritual energy of darkness element in his body to form a bright projectile, aiming straight at Long Haochen. The whole cave seemed to twist due to this glinting dark red ball. A choking feeling attacked all of those who were preparing their attacks. Stamping the ground with his left feet, Long Haochens forehead suddenly glinted, revealing nine purplish gold colored glints of light. In his eyes, divine light was shot out, and the dark golden mes ascending on his body suddenly turned bright, letting out an iparably dazzling luster. Even his own teammates couldnt help but shut their eyes at that instant. The Aria of the Goddess of Light sent out iparably rapid buzzes. One could see at this point that it shook slightly in Long Haochens hands, as its de quietly started to emit some transparence. Immediately, the whole cave started to tremble very sharply. The gold and dark red color vanished almost simultaneously, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light in Long Haochens hands disappeared right at that time. Right now, his face appeared somewhat pale, and his body was at a standstill, but his eyes were filled with determination and sharpness. Right in front of him was Andromalius, who was maintaining the same posture, and had even the gigantic dark red ball of light in front of him. However, he seemed entirely frozen, also havinge to a stop. What just happened? No one knew, because the time that intense light glowed, they all shut their eyes unconsciously, and didnt get to see what happened. Outside the cave, the illusion of the goddess of light also disappeared. Haoyues fiverge heads were still looking up, but appeared somewhat distracted, as if sensing something. Pup. The dark red ball of light suddenly routed without sign, and didnt even produced aftermaths from exploding. As if cut like a tomato, it only turned into a thick liquid, disappearing in the air. Immediately, Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin couldnt help but open their eyes wide, because they clearly saw that from his head to his feet, scars appeared on Andromalius whole body, which finally started to tremble. The traces of light became more and more bright, and the shaking of Andromalius body also gained momentum. Finally, countless rays of light started gushing out from his body. The really powerful Devil Snake Demon God had finally fallen, with arge amount of pieces of his body falling to the ground. The surroundings became dyed in his liquid red blood. Long Haochens body was also swaying slightly, and Han Yu hurriedly grabbed his hand,ing from the side. The two holy guards who didnt make it at time to bring their support started showing fear in the pulsing mes serving as their eyes. The reason why they didnt shut their eyes was simply because they couldnt. For this reason, out of everyone present, they were the only ones who saw what Long Haochen did. Chapter 446 - Secret of the Aria of the Goddess of Light (I)

Chapter 446: Secret of the Aria of the Goddess of Light (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Cut in two in one swing. This description was perfectly fitting for the scene. When he was close to his peak state with the help of the Demonic Copse Great Spell, Andromalius was immediately sliced in two by the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Neither his skills nor body managed to stand in front of the powerful attack of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. It was an instant kill. Long Haochen managed to kill the enemy instantly. But how did he aplish that? How did he get so strong all of a sudden? Only Long Haochenpletely understood how this happened. At this moment, his thoughts couldnt help but go back to the time in the Warrior Temple, when he delivered back the sword intent in the Aria of the Goddess of Light. The head of the Warrior Temple, War Deity Qiu Yonghao had a short one to one with him, during which he told him a secret. This secret had been kept buried in Long Haochens chest ever since then. At that time, Qiu Yonghao told him that the Aria of the Goddess of Light had a secret. That on it existed a powerful seal, branded originally by the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang before he left the world, for the sake of concealing the real might of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This was to avoid identally injuring the younger generations. Qiu Yonghao also told him that to get rid of this seal and unleash the true power of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, the wielders cultivation would at least need to reach the eighth step. By causing an overdraft in conjunction with power storage, it could barely be tried at the seventh step. Afterwards, Qiu Yonghao taught Long Haochen the method to remove the seal. Qiu Yonghao could be called the former retainer of the Holy Sword Wielder Qiu Yonghao, and also the only person aware of this method in the whole continent. The sincerity Long Haochen had whening to deliver back its sword intent moved him and led him to reveal this secret in the end. That was because, he also wanted to see the birth of a new godly holy sword wielder, able to inherit of Ye Wushangs legacy. Just a moment ago, Long Haochen drew support from Storing Power to help raise his spiritual energy to its peak, and managed for the first time to remove the seal of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, then use the real might of this divine sword for the very first time. As for Andromalius, he became the first offering to the godly sword. The reason for Long Haochen to have done this was very simple. He simply didnt want to give Andromalius any opportunity to counterattack, having learned enough from the Forest Boa King. For this reason, he used his most powerful attack to thoroughly crush the Devil Snake God, andpletely rid of his soul and life, and obliterate him through the godly holy sword. A dark red light started to glow on Andromalius corpse, flying back outside. This urrence was just too sudden, even surpassing the Tenth Holy Guard in speed. One could vaguely see that this was a crown, a dark red crown that was dripping with dark red blood. When Long Haochens group killed the sessor to a demon god, they obtained an Inheritance Crown. But the auraing out of this Demon God Crown was a lot more powerful than that time. Obviously, it was trying escape and merge with Andromalius demon god pir. This way, many yearster, a new Devil Snake Demon God would reappear andmand the Devil Snakes. Long Haochen didnt make it in time to stop it, as the others including the two Holy Guards were still in shock because of Long Haochens earth shattering attack. When they recovered from the shock, that dark red crown was already floating past them. Because Yating helped Long Haochen to disy the full might of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, she went into a weakened state and was unable to even use the Pull Ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove. In his state of great shock, Long Haochen found himself unable to stop it. But right at this moment, rapacious aggressor appeared suddenly in the only road of that dark red crown. This demon god crown was indeed really fast, to the extent that even avoiding it was impossible, but it just ended up being entirely swallowed. With a thin golden glow, to everyones shock, the one who swallowed the demon god crown was exactly Little Light, one of Haoyues five heads. Little Lights pair of golden eyes were glinting, and vaguely, his body started to ripple with purple intent. Everyone felt that the fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body were starting to twist, before returning to normal, as if nothing happened. Lin Xins response was the fastest. He was not only has-drug-bro, but also a scrooge beyond scrooges. The first thing he did was to run over and attempt to ask Haoyue, Dear Haoyue, can you please spit it out? Little Light unhappily red at him, and shook his head with pride. It seemed to be saying, _Want me to split out something I just ate? Youre dreaming!_ Dont be like that, Dear Haoyue! Thats a demon god crown! If this thing is brought back to the Alliance, we could exchange it for quite a lot of Legendary Equipment, and even one or two Epic Equipments would be possible! How can you keep everything for yourself, As for Lin Xins pained appearance, Little Light acted as if he didnt see it at all and just turned back his head. At the very moment, the Ninth Holy Guard and the Eleventh Holy Guard outside were alsoing back. Wang Yuanyuan let out augh, Let it be, has-drug-bro. Can you stop being so greedy? Having Haoyue eat it is a lot better than letting it go away. I cant believe that this is for real, we actually really killed a demon god! This would really be unbelievable to anyone. She wasnt the only one to find that unbelievable. Even Long Haochen who delivered thest blow felt like he was in a dream. They really seeded, in killing the Snake Devil God Andromalius. Although he was no more but thest of the seventy-two demon gods, he still brought the group a total of over 500,000 contribution points! If they could kill one a bit above in the ranking, the reward would surpass one million points. A golden light started to glow on Long Haochens chest, and Chen Yinger and Caier were finally summoned. It was just that the two of them didnt look so good. What happened to you? Chen Yinger looked stunned at the sight of Long Haochen who was borrowing support from Han Yus arm, and Caier was pouting with an unsatisfied expression. Since the others were summoned by Long Haochen for such a long time, they were evidently thrown in a battle, but she wasnt summoned until now. With difficulty, Long Haochen smiled to her, Its nothing, Im just feeling a bit weak. I just need to get some rest. A golden glow was spouted out from Little Lights mouth, enveloping Long Haochen, helping him to recover some spiritual energy. After Haoyue evolved to the level of getting five heads, his support wasnt pertained to only the aspect of spiritual energy, but even his vitality and overflowingtent capabilities helped him recover. For this reason, after receiving Little Lights support, Long Haochens face immediately looked a lot better. Seeing the great amount of corpses of Devil Snakes afar, Chen Yinger and Caier were stupefied. Chen Yinger had a doubtful look as she inquired, Dont tell me the battle is already over? Oh my god! Is that a demon god pir? And what about the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius? Did he escape? With augh, Escaped? Just where do you think he would flee? Hes right there, though only mincemeat is left of him. Still, thats all good things! Ive gotta pack it allter. Wang Yuanyuan blurted out without reservation, Has-drug-bro, wont you stop showing more and more arrogance? Hearing that the Snake Devil Demon God died, Caier was still better off, since she was after all amnesic, but Chen Yinger stood dumbstruck, Are you saying that the Devil Snake Demon God was killed by you? My god! How is that even possible? A golden glow of light was emitted by Han Yus body, enveloping everyone inside. That was the power of the Spiritual Stove of Blessings of Light, tremendously elerating the recovery of spiritual energy of everyone inside its range. Even the aftereffects of the Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder affecting Sima Xian started to lessen. Long Haochen let out a smile, Nothing is impossible, didnt we just seed? Although luck yed out arge part, we still seed. And with this we are done with all the missions we have taken this time. At this point, he started clearly to show some pride. But after looking at Caier, his joy lessened by much. Right, no matter how much gains they had this time,pared to Caiers memories, it was not even worth mentioning. If he had the choice, he would have rather not chosen to make this trip in demon territory, so that Caier wouldnt have ended up in this state. Youre still not trusting me! Caier showed a grumpy side, but said no more than that, because of seeing the sad look on Long Haochens face, containing somement. For some reason, every time she saw Long Haochen like that, the depressed feelings in her heart disappeared involuntarily, as she felt stuck in her throat. The others shut their mouths unconsciously. In this strange atmosphere, they recovered while bathed in the Blessings of Light. Very rapidly, everyone outside of Long Haochen who wentrgely beyond his limits and Sima Xian who was suffering from the side effects recovered, back to their peak. Even the four holy guards were no exception, and from that, the great might of the Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings could be seen. Long Haochen dered, Time to sweep through the battlefield everyone., and took the lead to head for the corpse of the Forest Boa King. In the battlefield, the Forest Boa King aside, there were corpses of six or seven ordinary Forest Boas . After the extermination of the Devil Snakes, the Forest Boas that were able to get away were really few. But this only inconvenienced Long Haochens group. Long Haochen carefully recovered the corpse of the Forest Boa King in his Eternal Melody. He could still feel the heat emitted by the Eternal Melody, visibly absorbing the soul power lingering in this battlefield. Devil Snake elites fare quite high in price, to say nothing of the magical crystals they have. The storage capacity of Long Haochens Eternal Melody being close to unlimited, it took a moment for them to bring everything recoverable here, making the battlefield a lot cleaner.

Chapter 447: Secret of the Aria of the Goddess of Light (II)

Now that the effects of the joint magic between the ninth and the eleventh holy guards were gradually disappearing, the swamps were recovering their sogginess. Lin Xin also came out from the cave. Seeing the satisfied look on his face, it was visible that the corpse of the Snake Devil Demon God was done being handled. Boss should we go for a treasure hunt in this cave? Lin Xin suggested in high spirits. However, he very quickly realized that Long Haochens attention wasnt focused on the treasures in the cave, and that he was instead gazing at the nearby demon god pir. That massive pir had already lost its original splendor. Standing there for so long, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary stele. A huge snake shaped sculpture was spiralling around it, though the red light in its eyes was a lot dimmer. Boss, you cant be thinking of attempting to destroy this demon god pir? Lin Xin unconsciously asked, but to his astonishment, Long Haochen actually nodded to him in confirmation. Seeing Long Haochen, the others couldnt help but show surprised expressions. Ever since the dark era from six thousand years ago, uncountable demon gods died, but until this day, none of the seventy-two demon god pirs were ever destroyed. With regards to this, the Temple Alliance put too much efforts, but even with the might of divine artifacts, they were still unable to destroy any of those demon god pirs. But at the very moment, Long Haochen was actually showing the intent to destroy this demon god pir. Even if everyone had trust and belief in him, they still had the feeling that he was overestimating his capabilities. How could Long Haochen not know of the toughness of the demon god pir? He after all personally saw what the result of the full force attack of the internal pill of the Forest Boa King against it. But he also knew that the seventy-demon pirs of the demon gods were their foundations. As long as these seventy-two werent destroyed, wanting the Temple Alliance to defeat the demon race would be no more than wishful dreaming. Currently, Andromalius was defeated by them, and his demon god pir, exposed in front of their eyes. Since that was thest and weakest of the demon god pirs, how could Long Haochen not be tempted? I want to try it out. Long Haochens tone couldnt be considered determined, but seemed somehow emotional. Affected by his emotions, everyone gradually started to carry solemn looks. Sima Xian carried his Energetic Ball of Light, Boss, let me try first. GroaaC Right at this time, a low roar came suddenly, breaking off Sima Xians suggestion. That low roar came from Haoyue. Long Haochen looked at his old partner with amazement. Clearly, Haoyues mood felt abnormal. Seeing that massive demon god pir, Haoyues mind somehow seemed to be disordered. Long Haochen immediately sensed that Haoyues mood was even going out of his own control. With a sort of rashness that would be hard to describe, pain spread out from Haoyues heart, even getting transmitted to Long Haochen. His fiverge heads were lifted upwards at the same time, roaring in rage. Little Light, Little me, Little Green, Little Blue and Little Purple were sharing the same state of mind, filled with an indescribable rage, filled with a desperate wrath. Immediately, an intense purple glow spread out from Haoyues body. Long Haochen realized to his astonishment that after this purple glow appeared, mes started to ze all around Haoyues body. Haoyue, dont! Turning pale with fright, Long Haochen attempted to stop him, because he sensed that Haoyue was igniting the very source of his own life. Raah Haoyues fiverge heads were turned around at the same time, even raving with some cruelty at Long Haochen. Immediately, the pair of massive wings on his back unfolded, carrying his massive body straight towards the demon god pir. Purple mes were rising more and more violently, and at this moment Haoyue looked like an unruly kid, whose iparable stubbornness was something even Long Haochen didnt managed to tame. At the time his distance from the demon god pir reached twenty meters, his massive body started to stagnate in the air. Long Haochen suddenly had an impression, that as the purple mes rising around Haoyue drew closer, the demon god pir was actually trembling a bit. How could that be? The demon god pir is shaking? In the midst of Long Haochens puzzlement, Haoyue made his move. The intense purple mes abruptly started gathering above him. Immediately, Haoyue simultaneously roared with his fiverge heads, and five glows appeared, shot out from them. These were five bizarre crystals, somewhat resembling each of his five heads. Colored golden, red, green, blue and purple, these five crystals were floating atop of Haoyues fiverge heads. But as released, those purple mes were frantically rushing forth, as if following his intent. The five crystals were slowly flying, forming a circr formation. Each of the five went in one direction, as that purple fire gathered in the middle of the area formed by the crystals. The previously massive purple mes rapidly shrank to the size of a fist, but glowing with intense purple golden light. Gradually, this purplish golden ball of light expanded, taking the shape of an arrow. Haoyues five heads growled simultaneously, after that, the arrow was sent almost immediately at the demon god pir. While it wasunched, Haoyues massive body disappeared, and the five crystals returned inside him. One could clearly see that each of Haoyues five heads was letting out blood, his body fluctuating with spiritual energy in the meantime. Long Haochen had always been keeping watch over Haoyues situation, and some of his spiritual energy having already recovered, he immediately dashed at him, the four holy guards following closely. Only the Tenth Holy Guard outran Long Haochen, immediately heading toward Haoyue, trying to bear his weight. However, Haoyue was indeed too massive. As for his enormous weight, the wind specialized Tenth Holy Guard seemed unable to bear it, especially when getting in contact with the purple intent disseminated from him, weakening him. This time, a yellow glint shone upon Haoyue, greatly reducing his weight. Long Haochen led the rest to gather and look over Haoyue. In the meantime, the purplish golden arrow had urately hit the demon god pir. Under everyones watch, it turned into a brilliant ray that made its way inside the demon god pir, still unmoving. Originally still somewhat hopeful, the expressions on the faces of the others darkened immediately. Right! Even if Haoyue is powerful, how could he damage a demon god pir? Its almost a wonder why they were so expectant. But as everyone was feeling Haoyues sadness, Long Haochen suddenly cried out in rm in front of the demon god pir stormed by attacks, Take a look Long Haochens perception was far beyond anyone elses, and as that purple glow of light disappeared, he also believed that Haoyues attack turned out ineffective. But quickly, his feeling changed. That was because he sensed the massive trembling from the demon god pir before, reced by a sense of deathly stillness, as if about to copse. The auraing out from it was full of desperation. Purple light reappeared, spreading from the inside to the outside. In the beginning, that purple light was very weak, only rippling weakly on this demon god pir. But as time went on, it started gaining in power, and tiny cracks started appearing on that massive demon god pir. Sima Xian shouted madly, violently swinging his Energetical Ball of Light. The spiritual wings on his back spread out, and advanced toward that massive demon god pir at full speed. A tremendous metallic sound came along with sorts of ear piercing whizzes, busting out loudly as it smashed against the demon god pir. Rumbles! The area hit by the Gigantic Ball of Light was actually destroyed, and countless dark green glows sttered around. A purplish golden color started to burst out from within at a freakish speed. Vaguely, one could hear innumerable mournful screamsing out from that demon god pir, as if many souls were targeted along with the massive destruction. Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang With loud sessive booms, the energetical substance, dark red light that seemed to form the demon god pir started to scatter around, and the whole Swamps of Gloom shook from that. A buzzing sound rang out in all the demon provinces, especially those gathered by the frontier. It seemed that all the demon god pirs were uttering sad calls from the destruction of that one, and even the Devil Dragon Pir belonging to the Demon God Emperor was no exception. Right, in the shared history of humanity and demons, a demon god pir was finally destroyedpletely on this day. In other words, no more Devil Snake Demon God would appear in the whole continent. Long Haochen and his sixty fourthmander grade Demon Hunt Squad brought a new tide, as if symbolizing the turn of the battle between the human and the demon side that until now maintained parity. Staring nkly at that destroyed demon god pir, everyone was in a particr state of mind. Mostly, they werent excited, but moved. It could be said that the hatred all of them had for demons was deeply rooted. The urrence of the destruction of one of the highest symbols of the demons held even more meaning than their possible future breakthrough to the ninth step. Many human powerhouses of the ninth step appeared in history, but this was the first time one of the demon god pirs god destroyed! An iparably precious first time, the seventy-two demon god pirs just became seventy-one. In some sense, the most important point was that Long Haochen and his crew proved that the seventy-two demon god pirs werent indestructible. Destroying them was possible, and this information was just iparably important to the Alliance. Chapter 448 - The Secret of the Aria of the Goddess of Light (III)

Chapter 448: The Secret of the Aria of the Goddess of Light (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The feeble Haoyue immediately returned to his original world. And now, Long Haochen started to finally understand why the Demon God Emperor attempted to look for him in the past. That was because his power was a threat to the very root of the demons, given his capability to destroy demon god pirs. Making a fist with both his hands, and holding them tight, Long Haochen turned back to look at therades behind him. We won! Yes, we won! Long Haochen extended his right hand, and Sima Xian, Han Yu, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger ced theirs above his, one after another. Caier looked a bit hesitant, but still ced her tender hand above Chen Yingers in the end. Long Haochen than added his hand hand on top of hers. Then he suddenly gave out another loud shout, We have won! The pain he had these days seemed to have all been vented out, and gripping Caiers hand, he let the feelings that have been constrained in him burst out at once. In front of hisrades, Long Haochen always showed his serious self, so this may be the first time he showed such an impassioned side. Only now did the others present beside him realize that this young knight that had been pulling them forward had still yet to reach his twenties. The exuberant mood didntst for too long, and after a temporary stir of emotions, Long Haochen returned to his usual calm andposed self. In a deep voice, he said, Everyone lets rest and regroup by the entrance of the cave, before going to explore it. After this, we should leave this ce as fast as possible. We dont know whether the other demon gods will show some reaction from the destruction of one of their seventy-two pirs. This ce is definitely not suited for us to stay. Everyone nodded at these words, returning to the cave to gather. The one who needed the most rest was Long Haochen, who sat down and focused on his cultivation, surrounded by the others, who were all resting on their own. Although the battle that just happened was short, everyone was mentally exhausted to different extent. Now that they could rx and let their guard down a bit, exhaustion immediately washed over them. Perhaps this exhaustion was piling up ever since the day they entered the demon territory. The four holy guards were standing outside the cavern, calmly gazing afar. At this moment, due to the descent of the goddess of light and the destruction of the demon god pir, the air in the Swamps of Gloom seemed been cleaned and have some fresh air. At least as far as the eye could see, the misty poisonous fog dispersed, and in this scope, the air even carried some the fresh taste of sunlight. The Swamps of Gloom returned to their calm, and although this Land of Death wasnt so rich in breath of life, the aura of death once reeking was at least concealed by all the mud. The power of great nature was just that great and terrifying. Be it humans or demons, all living beings only seemed to be part of the food chain. Long Haochen didnt rest for too long, and after roughly half an hour, his eyes were already open. Sima, guard the entrance along with the ninth, tenth, and twelfth holy guards. If anything happens, have the tenth holy guard enter to inform us. The others, follow me. Standing up once again, Long Haochen immediately gave these orders, The reason for having Sima Xian stay was simple, the aftereffects from the Purple Godly Thunder still had yet to disappear. And if something happens inside the cave, he will have difficulty to respond. Sima Xian nodded, then gripping his Gigantic Ball of Light, he sat on vines near the entrance of the cave. The ice specialist Eleventh Holy Guard then appeared and apanied Long Haochens group inside the cave. The reason to take the Eleventh Holy Guard along was simple, first for his knowledge and experience, and then because a lot of his abilities were control-oriented. Long Haochen was the vanguard, with Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuan on his two sides. Lin Xin, Chen Yinger, and the Eleventh Holy Guards were in the middle, and finally, Caier was in the rear. Although danger didnt have high odds to appear on the rear, Caier still remained a close quarters fighter no matter what one would say. Given that her control over her abilities was growing with time, with her on the rear, Long Haochen would also be able to rx. The greenish ck vines lingered continuously, stretching without end. But to everyones astonishment, these vines seemed to be issuing a mild light. For this reason, whileing down, the cave wasnt dark. The whole interior of the cave didnt look smaller as it kept stretching, and remained well proportioned from beginning to end. The inclination wasnt important either. The deeper they went, the light produced by the surrounding vines was instead even brighter. With a faint flicker of green light, Long Haochen felt a bizarre feeling grow in him. From the beginning, when he entered that cave, in his heart was feeling some resonance. Of course, he couldnt possibly know about the identity of the treasure inside in advance, but this feeling of closeness felt like it came from its element. The Mirror Image Treasure Pig McDull gave him the information about this ce from a rather far distance, which signalized that the treasure had some attunement to light. And when they baited the Devil Snake Demon God inside, Long Haochen had already a clear feeling that the information ryed by McDull was right, that this ce contained an overwhelming existence of light. At the time they were at the entrance of the cave, although the light element didnt feel overwhelming, it still contained an extreme purity. It didnt have the slightest impurity, which showed hardly any difference of level with Long Haochens own attribute as a gods chosen one. It was only that this light attribute appeared a lot gentler than Long Haochens, without any offensive vocation. After entering the cave, Long Haochen didnt feel any existence of threat. However, the battle against the Saw Skate King serving him more than enough of a warning, no matter what the situation was, he stayed extremely vignt. The battle against the Devil Snake Demon God and the Forest Boa King opened his horizons even further. In battle, strength was very important, but scheming also yed an important part! For this reason, although the cordiality he felt from the cave kept getting stronger, Long Haochen didnt be careless. While spreading out his senses, every step he took was extremely careful and minute, and deliberately increased the distance separating him to hisrades behind. McDull was already put down by Chen Yinger, running in the front. Though, he wasnt as careful as Long Haochen, and advanced with his eyes twinkling, swinging his plump legs forward. Seeing him now, who would guess that this little guy would be actually able to imitate the appearance and aura of the Demon God Emperor? A soft light spread out in the air, and the surrounding vines gradually became colored in the same jade color as the Forest Boa King. The whole cave had this dazzling look. McDull, slow down a bit. Chen Yinger called him out suddenly from behind. But instead, McDull suddenly elerated, running forward swiftly. The way forward suddenly curved, forcing a left turn at the corner. Like that, all traces of McDulls figure disappeared. Long Haochen who was standing at the front of the group, naturally an intense start. The four wings on his back spread out abruptly, and traced an urate golden arc at the arc of the curve, chasing after McDull. If the Tenth Holy Guard was here, he would definitely have eximed in admiration from the flight control of Long Haochen. When everyone turned at the curve, they immediately stopped their steps, and the same went for Long Haochen. McDull was already grabbed in his arms, but in front of them appeared an overwhelming scene. McDull kept groaning in Long Haochens arms, letting out sounds akin to moans, visibly excited. Long Haochens expression looked somewhat nk, because the scene before his eyes was really too stunning. Could that so-called treasure be At this time, the surrounding vines were already golden due to the reflection, and as soon as they took that turn, everyone immediately sunk into that golden ocean. The intense light essence was totally devoid of impurities, and a soft and gentle golden radiance assaulted their eyes, sinking inside, and giving off an inescapable cozy feeling. This feeling was really wonderful, especially for the light element wielders Long Haochen and Han Yu. Long Haochen tolerated it well enough because his own spiritual energy was originally an existence of this grade, so when bathing inside, he only felt that the thin golden mist was echoing with himself. Han Yus senses being very sharp, he felt his internal spiritual energy boil violently, rinsing him of his impurities. Forcefully restraining himself, he still managed to stop himself from getting affected while groaning. They were already at the end of the cave, where they found out that the intense light essence was an existence that Long Haochen absolutely didnt expect to see. Reaching the end of the cave, it suddenly became enormous. The owner of that dazzling golden light was unexpectedly an immense snail. The shell of this snail was over five meters long, and that glowing light was dispersed from that shell. Outside of its body glowed a translucent brilliance, while its inside was full of faint golden colored specks of light. Two long and soft horns were swaying around it, and it had a pair of pitch-ck eyes. Also looking nkly at Long Haochens group, its look especially stagnated on Long Haochen. Its shell was indeed really beautiful, forming a close to perfect round. Circles of spiral patterns were gathered horizontally on it. Neatly organized and elegant, it seemed to be an infinite surface of reflected bright light. On its centery a protrusion. Although that was no more but a snail, Long Haochen and hisrades were all certain that it was the first time they had seen such a beautiful magical beast in their lives. Its beauty even surpassed a Starlight Unicorn in Long Haochens mind, as if it was a part of light. So beautiful! What kind of magical beast could that be? Chen Yinger muttered lightly. She asked the question present in everyones hearts ,be it Long Haochen or the rest of the group, no one felt any threat from that existence. However, thatrge snail didnt see them that way. As if sensing Chen Yingers amazement, it let out a swishing sound and retracted itself in its shell. Chapter 449 - Starlight Divine Beast, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon (I)

Chapter 449: Starlight Divine Beast, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon (I)

Therge snail turned back, and naturally, all that was left in the sight of the group was that magnificent shell. Long Haochens both hands were raised, stopping his mates from approaching the snail. The Forest Boa Kings treasure ended up to be a snail. That was truly quite unexpected, especially when its attribute wasnt light. In some sense, he belonged to the life attribute type, mixed with some other heterogeneous attributes. And because of living in these swamps, its body also carried poison attribute. The snail before their eyes was however of light attribute. From its nervous looks, it couldnt be a good friend of that Forest Boa King, much less a lover. Then, there was only one possibility. It was an enemy of the Forest Boa King, or rather an object of desire in his eyes. But this snail had been living well for so long. Killing the Forest Boa King had taken Andromalius several months, which also proved that thisrge snail was a magical beast of the ninth step that had no issue surviving here for several months. From this, its level of threat goes without saying. For this reason, even if this snail was of the same light element as Long Haochen, there was no way he could let the others take the risk to approach it. Eleventh Holy Guard, do you recognize this magical beast? Long Haochen turned The blue mes in the eyes of the Eleventh Holy Guard, who just joined Long Haochens side, starting to pulse as he pondered. Something seemed to havee to his mind, but he didnt seem so certain. Dont worry, its okay even if its just a guess. Long Haochen tried to encourage him. In thesends of death, they had been encountering extinct Forest Boas and other antique magical beasts such as Saw Skates. Thisrge snail was very possibly another kind of magical beast from ancient times, but no one had any information about it, and thus didnt dare rashly approach it. The Eleventh Holy Guard nodded lightly, giving the reply, From its aura, thats certainly a kind of ancient magical beast. It should be a starlight divine beast, but I dont know much about them. Ninth may know a bit about it. Hearing his respectful tone towards the Ninth Holy Guard, Long Haochen seemed moved, Eleventh, why is it that although you are fellow holy guards, the three of you so respectful towards Ninth? Its as if you didnt have the same status. The Eleventh Holy Guard was startled, but still gave a reply to Long Haochens interrogation, Our status is not the same. Master only had nine holy guards following him for a long time, all of whom were elites from their generation, defeated inbat by Master. The Tenth, Twelfth, and I are servants epted by him. Compared to the Ninth Holy Guard, we differ a lot, be it in strength or knowledge. Long Haochen had a sh of understanding,?So things were actually like that!?The Ninth Holy Guard was indeed a lot stronger than the other three holy guards. At the same time, he started to be even more expectant regarding the Tower of Eternity. With the help they had from these four great holy guards, the strength of their team as a whole almost doubled. If it is possible for him to get the addition of the whole twelve holy guards, what kind of sight will that be? At that time, he will be bound to have reached the ninth step. If it is the same for the holy guards, then even average demon gods would be no issue for them. However, Long Haochen also thought back about Ye Xiaoleis words to him. That no matter what, he couldnt enter thest floor of the Tower of Eternity. Otherwise, he would get controlled by the evil degenerations of the Slumbering Cmity Elux. Please bring Ninth Holy Guard here, so that we can see whether he knows this magical beast. Now was clearly not the time to ponder about the Tower of Eternity. Long Haochen had instead immediately called the Ninth Holy Guard here, to have a look at whether he had an idea of what kind of magical beast that snail could be. Overall, the cave wasnt very deep. A little whileter, the Ninth Holy Guard arrived with loud steps at Long Haochens side. But he suddenly became stiff upon seeing thatrge snail, and even the soul of powerhouse pulsing in his eyes seemed to have frozen. Long Haochen didnt interrupt him. Strength aside, it seemed that the other three holy guards preserved only their feelings and knowledge, with some of their battle instincts and memories. But the Ninth Holy Guard seemed to have a real soul of his own. For instance, when seeing Caier, the respect in his behaviour seemed even more apparent than for Long Haochen. After quite a while, the Ninth Holy Guard seemed to being back to his normal state, murmuring, This is a starlight divine beast, from the peaceful era. A Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. Hearing about his familiarity towards this kind of magical beast, Long Haochens spirits rose, What kind of magical beast is a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon? The Ninth Holy Guard replied, Even during the ancient times, their rarity exceeded even that of dragons. To speak about the Divine Snails of Sun and Moon, I have to mention the starlight magical beasts first. They are a kind of extremely powerful magical beasts from these times, all of whom are of light attribute. Any types of magical beast may give birth to a starlight divine beast. And each one of them are existences at the tenth rank. They are standing as representative for light, and their worth is really enormous. Every time a starlight magical beast appears, various races will be bound to attack it from all sides, like when humans run across a divine tool. There is no race that doesnt harbour a desire for them. Consequently, the starlight magical beasts are unable to reproduce, and their numbers kept lessening with time, until they finally went extinct, and none ever appeared. What are the benefits that starlight magical beasts can bring? Long Haochen asked with curiosity. The Ninth Holy Guard replied heavily, I can give you a simple example so that you understand. In the past, when master built the Tower of Eternity, he used in its core three magical nucleus of starlight divine beasts. And up till now, the Tower of Eternity is still as glorious. This is precisely because of the existence of these three nucleus, making the Tower of Eternity a supra divine tool! A supra divine tool? Long Haochen heard yet another brand new word. The Ninth Holy Guard exined, A so called supra divine tool is an item like that pir we just destroyed. However, that pir seemed to be still not at the rank of supra divine tool, only at its fledgling stage. But that pir seems to be just the part of a kind of ultra divine weapon of even greater terror than a supra divine tool. We have never seen something like that before, at the very least in the knowledge of our master, it doesnt exist. In this world, we havee to scour some information regarding ultra divine tools, but in fact, there are not many records about them, even in any ancient books from our world. At the side, Lin Xin couldnt help but ask, Then, how can you be certain that this divine god pir is part of an ultra divine tool? The Ninth Holy Guard replied, From its aura. Although its might is far beyondpare with ordinary weapons, at the time it was destroyed, it let out the aura from an ultra divine weapon. This kind of terrifying aura is tenfolds more powerful than the Tower of Eternity. Such an existence cannot be exined unless calling it an ultra divine tool. Long Haochen nodded lightly, as if understanding the perilous situation they were in. Divine tool, supra divine tool and ultra divine tool. That was the first time he was hearing of this categorization for divine tools. But no matter what, there was no doubt about their existence. Wasnt the Tower of Eternity a supra divine tool, that never missed to put them in awe with its mysteries? And it was even more probable for the seventy-two demon god pirs to be part of an ultra divine tool. So it was no wonder that over the past six thousand years, no human was able to destroy one. But since things were so, how is it that Haoyue was able to? For a moment, Long Haochens mind seemed to be thrown in disorder. It was as if he came to a guess, but without anything to confirm or prove his thoughts. Moreover, his hypothesis wasntplete either, and still full of gaps. The Ninth Holy Guard continued, Starlight divine beast were for some time, also existences of same grade. And among the divine tools that are inherited from ancient times, at least nine out of ten among the ones that have light attribute, are rted to starlight divine beasts. The overwhelming majority of the starlight divine beasts have great battle capabilities, so killing them to gain benefits from their resources is bound to require a huge cost. And among all the starlight divine beasts types, the hardest one to deal with is of an extraordinary kind. Because it doesnt have any offensive strength of itself, it cannot wound any of its enemies, and would simply flee upon exhaustion of the enemy. The starlight divine snail before our eyes is this kind of starlight divine beast, a formidable magical beast close to unparalleled in defense. And because it cannot attack, among starlight divine beasts, it is known as a peaceful one. Han Yu raised the question, It cannot attack? Then couldnt we capture it, and then think of a way to handle it? It should sooner orter show a gap. The Ninth Holy Guard shook his head, replying, The defense of a Snail of Sun and Moon is the reason why it is praised as an evesting remnant. Not only blocking the overwhelming majority of the attacks, it can also negate any negative effects. In the history of the ancient times, a Snail of Sun and Moon is said to have appeared three times, but there was only one time it was in. That time, it encountered a supra divine tool specializing in attack, and wasnt able to use its peak defense from the beginning of the battle, since attacked by surprise. And that was the only time a Snail of Sun and Moon died. And after eating the meat of that Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, that almighty one ruled over the world for a thousand year. That was a dragon kin, who became a Gigantic Divine Dragon upon eating the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. But do you know how his rule eventually ended?

Chapter 450: Starlight Divine Beast, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Among Starlight Divine Beasts, Divine Snails of Sun and Moon have a very special status. Close to a thousand years after the Gigantic Divine Dragon first appeared a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon appeared. And at the same time appeared a human, just like master and you. With the Divine Snail of Sun of Moon acting as his shield, he finally killed that Gigantic Divine Dragon, and starting from that point, humans finally started to reveal their brilliance, starting the process of unifying the whole continent. A human like me? Long Haochens eyes shed with light, Are you saying that it was a gods chosen one? The Ninth Holy Guard lightly shook his head, In the ancient times, there wasnt the appetion of a gods chosen one. Humans were like magical beasts; it was only after ruling over the world that they started getting praised as an existence of higher grade. If this was the ancient times, you would be called a Starlight Divine Beast. Eh? Not only Long Haochen, but the members of the whole squad cried out in surprise. The Ninth Holy Guard stating that Starlight Divine Beasts were gods chosen ones of the Goddess of Light was something no one expected. It was no wonder that Long Haochen had such an amiable feeling upon entering. And aftering here, they all started to have the feeling that the aura spreading out from that Divine Snail of Sun of Light seemed simr to Long Haochens. The level of purity of their spiritual energies didnt differ by much, and in some sense, they were simr existences, only belonging to different races. Lin Xin murmured, Then, if I eat a piece of your meat, would I evolve? The Ninth Holy Guard instantly became ice-cold, Want to harm Master? Just die! Lin Xin hastened to rify with a smile, Im just asking out of curiosity, nothing more The Ninth Holy Guard shook his head, Its only by eating masters whole body that you would be able to inherit the blood of the starlight divine beast. Caier suddenly remarked, Lets rather call them gods chosen ones. Really, the term beast sounds so unpleasant to hear. At the time, the Ninth Holy Guard who wasnt affected by any of the others, looked at Caier, fear started to appear in his expression, as he gave a nod while looking down. Meanwhile, Long Haochen seemed to have put his thoughts in order, So to sum up everything you just said, there had been in the past a gigantic dragon with a supra divine tool in his possession, who managed to eat up a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon after killing it, thus bing the Sacred Gigantic Dragon that ruled over the continent for over a thousand years. Then, it ended up being killed by a chosen one of the Goddess of Light like me, which established the foundation for the unification of the continent by the humans. Right? Then what about the third a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon? The Ninth Holy Guard replied, When the third time one appeared, the continent was already under human rule. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon having found out about the surprise attack against it, no one managed to pierce its defense, until it escaped. The one we are seeing today is very possibly the same one as back then. Since I never heard of the appearance of another kind of peaceful divine beast appearing. Wang Yuanyuan murmured, Sounds like the times Divine Snails of Sun and Moon appeared announced a transitional period before a change of rule in the continent. But the only exception was the third time. Now, the timing of appearance of this Divine Snail of Sun and Moon happens to coincide with our destruction of a demon god pir. Doesnt it signify that the demons are going to perish under our hand? Although Wang Yuanyuan only said that, everyone had a feeling of excitement when hearing her. At least, this was a good omen. And furthermore, the Ninth Holy Guard didnt seem to contradict this conclusion. The third time a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon appeared preceded the start of the war between the humans and master. For a moment, everyone went silent, and Long Haochen immediately reacted at the Ninth Holy Guards words, Are you saying that the Holy Necromancer who set up the Tower of Eternity, Slumbering Cmity Elux, was one of the leaders of the necromancers who opposed humans in that cmitous war. The soul of powerhouse pulsing in the eyes of the Ninth Holy Guard suddenly became burning hot, giving a serious reply, He was indeed their leader. From these simple words, everyone was shocked. Didnt that mean that Elux was precisely the main culprit of the cmity that befell upon humanity, the chief of all necromancers, that ruled over their group? Then, it was no wonder that the Tower of Eternity would be that formidable, so things were like that. Long Haochen lips were pursed tightly, and the blood in his cheeks became clearly visible, clearly showing his unstable state of mind. Everyone was able to understand his current mood. Despite being a knight, he had been leading hisrades to gain the graces of a sinner against humanity, one who brought the previous human catastrophe, nearly causing the extinction of humanity. And it was precisely because of that catastrophe that human suffered arge blow after which followed the dark era thatsted for six thousand years. How was it something Long Haochen could bear so easily. The silencested for a long time, before Long Haochen gazed at the others, We cannot change what already happened. But in the future, we cannot keep going the same way. I havee to the decision that in the future, we wont go to the third floor of the Tower of Eternity and further. Sorry everyone. Saying that, he bowed down before the others. These words carried two meanings. First, he wanted to give his apologies and take responsibility, having gained the graces of this necromancer, and then, because of the decision he came, to stop bringing the group to train in the Tower of Eternity. The other six from their Demon Hunt Squad instantly broke away, none of them able to bear Long Haochens bow. Han Yu supported Long Haochen, Boss, dont be like that. The fault doesnt lie with you; we knew nothing of that in the past! Moreover, everything you did was done with the team in mind. You arent in the wrong. We will support your decision with our all. And you know, we havent done anything that would benefit the necromancers, only gaining some favors. In the other hand, we have already gotten rid of one demon god pir. From everything we have done, we can have a clear conscience. So much, that we can im ourselves to be worthy of standing on the same ground as ourpatriots. Han Yus words were categorical, as he tightly gripped Long Haochens arm. If Long Haochen could be treated as a sinner for humanity, then who in this world could be called worthy? Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen gave an earnest look to hisrades. His tense face gradually eased up, and after letting a sigh, he dered, We are going. Master, that Divine Snail of Sun and Moon The Ninth Holy Guard reacted with eagerness. No matter in which era, a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was an absolute treasure! But seeing his expression, Long Haochen actually looked willing to let go of it. Long Haochen replied calmly, The Forest Boa King is already dead, so it doesnt have any more enemies. Maybe living in thisnd of death is the safest ce for it. ording to your words, it is, like me, a starlight divine beast. How could I harm it? All I can do is to hope that it will give humans its blessings in defeating demonkind, so that the continent recovers its shine. The matter of the Tower of Eternity had been a fatal blow to them, but more importantly, after knowing about the antecedents of this Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, his already non-existent desire to get it was reaffirmed. Not wanting to get into trouble on ount for possessing a treasure, Long Haochen came to the conclusion that he did not have the ability to protect this Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. Although his cultivation wasnt low anymore,pared to true powerhouses, he was stillcking very much. As for eating this Divine Snail of Sun and Moon after killing it, that was something he didnt even give the slightest thought to. First of all, Long Haochen wouldnt harm a magical beast that is no threat to him in any way, but even if he had the intention to harm this one, he wouldnt possibly be able to put himself through that act. Without a doubt, the Forest Boa King wracked his brain quite a lot after discovering the Divine Snail of Sun and Moonying here, but didnt gain his desired rpense. Otherwise, he would be rather closer to the bearing of a dragon king. Seeing Long Haochen go away, hisrades followed with no hesitation. The current Long Haochen was actually at his weakest state of mind. Now was the time that he needed the help of hisrades the most. Even the greatest scrooge that Lin Xin was, didnt give a single nce to the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. The Ninth Holy Guard was standing at the back. At the time he turned his head back, giving a look to the enormous Divine Snail of Sun and Moon before ncing at Long Haochen, the soulfire in his eyes started to pound suddenly. Who could be indifferent upon seeing an existence such as a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon here, voluntary letting it go? Even his past master Elux would never have been able to do that. Thinking back about Elux, the body of the Ninth Holy Guard started to shake, as if remembering some terrifying experience. Then, he lowered his head in sadness and followed the others outside. Actually, in this world, there is no real correct thing to do, and no absolute mistake. Even during those days, the cmity of the necromancers was just a big shame. The ones who restored humanity finally ended up framed as their greatest enemies, exterminated by their hands? Who wouldnt be sighing when hearing this? An unclouded voice suddenly resounded in the midst of the vines, making Long Haochen almost react instantly, taking out his two swords. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon that came out of its shell at some point, had a pair of pitch ck eyes, gazing at him. His look was very gentle, and a pair of soft horns appeared above his head. Long Haochen was in shock, Were you the one who spoke? The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon nodded at Long Haochen, as if it was a human, Right, it was me. Long Haochen turned his head back, and hisrades reflexively stood in guard around him. What a surprise was it to see the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon speak in humannguage. Long Haochen directed an ardent look at the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, I dont understand your words. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon gave an enthusiastic reply, Ones innate talent isnt something evesting. Everything one gets after birth is bound to affect it somehow. The same goes for the chosen Scions of Light, they can also get affected by the vices of the external world. Even the purest heart in the world can get infected.

Chapter 451: Starlight Divine Beast, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The God of Light is the protector of the world. And I, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, and my kin hoped to restore peace in this world. Its just that until this day, we have yet to really seeded. At this point, the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon clearly became more emotional. Long Haochen listened to him calmly, but for some reason, he unconsciously got the feeling that the words of the Divine Snail of of Sun and Moon were extremely important for him to listen. The mission of us, Divine Snail of Sun and Light, is really majestic, but at the same time, our fate is tragic. The time the first Divine Snail of Sun and Moon appeared, at the same time came a Scion of Light, another Starlight Beast of that time, so called gods chosen one by you humans. That was the Gigantic Divine Dragon. The story of that little skeleton was quite one-sided; the reality was really more painful. The exalted God of light picked the dragon race because of the great power of dragons, and their ability of self protection, thus making them iparably powerful with bestowment of the physique as gods chosen one. However, our god overlooked the greediness of the dragons. Perhaps dragons dont necessarily have a tyrannical character, but their natural desire for beautiful thing is incredibly strong. As a result, my ancestor became the first target of tragedy, having been attacked by surprise after that Gigantic Holy Dragon gained his trust, only to be food. That way, that Gigantic Holy Dragon awakened and became a formidable Gigantic Divine Dragon, ruling over the world for over a thousand years. However, he had a defect in his heart As his rule wasing to its end due to his greediness, the God of Light became iparably grieved towards his actions. As living beings kept reproducing in the continent, the humans gradually revealed their brilliance. Perhaps the humans inner heart could be even darker than the other races, but humans had a creativity that all the other races didnt have. For this reason, our god finally chose a human to be his spokesperson. That was the second Scion of Light, that we were born to protect. My ancestor from this time was fortunate, or at least during his early period. Apanying that Scion of Light in assiduous training, he saw him be an outstanding talent, that led the human armies and defeated that Gigantic Divine Dragon, relying on his understanding of the enemy, and finally became an heroic dragon yer by killing him. At the same time, this announced the start of the human rule over the continent, known as glorious era of the continent. Then, wasnt that a perfect situation? Long Haochen couldnt help but blurt out. The tone Divine Snail of Sun and Light started to sound suddenly furious, Perfect? It was only perfect for humans. In his youth, he was indeed a perfect person. But upon getting older, at the time he started to reach the end of his life, do you know what he did? Looking helpless, Long Haochen shook his head. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon coldly said, From who knows where, he heard a rumor that eating a starlight beast could grant immortality. Hearing those words, Long Haochen felt a chill on his back. Immediately, he started to grasp his hands fiercely. The others were also overwhelmed with shock; although the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon didnt say it explicitly, they clearly understood the following course of events from his words. Then he betrayed his best friend, the best friend who sacrificed everything for him, all for the sake of an illusion, the possibility of immortality. From this came out the real nature of your human race. My second ancestor finally ended up unable to escape the same fate as that first ancestor, but his pain was even greater. That was because he was reduced to the state of food in the hands of his most trusted and beloved person. Then, the time I descended onto this world, as the third one of my kind, I had the memories of my both ancestors engraved in me. For this reason, I hated all of you, humans, bitterly. I didnt want, no matter what, to choose to support the human side. I had to find an even better race in this world, to unify it under a better rule. However, I have no choice but to admit that the human creativity made the continent very beautiful. If a new ruler were to be born, it would very possibly bring about a great cmity. How could I bring myself to bring that kind of oue? I was really at a loss, and started to lose sight of the reason for my birth. If this world was so peaceful, there should be no reason for a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon to be here. But afterwards, I finally understood. The reason for my birth was very simple. After reproducing for several thousand years, even if you, humans were powerful, beautiful, and your society, science and technology advanced remarkably, the bad human nature gradually came out, and all their dark and filthy sides starteding to the surface. Not long after that, I ran into my supposed target of support, the Scion of Light of that era. But to my anger, that Scion of Light was still a human. Why did it have to be another human? Could it be that our god could only acknowledge this kind of race rooted in evil? But I had no choice, as I had my own mission. And then I finally understood the reason why my ancestor was so dead set on that Scion of Light. A human Scion of Light is an almost wless existence. His kindness, courage, wiseness and power, almost his whole being could be seen as something perfect. I unawarely ended up attracted by him, but right as I was about to express my desire to support him with my all, something happened. He seems to have had a very intense experience, andpletely changed, bing mad, iparably mad. Then he ran, splitting ways with me. At that time, I was perplexed and didnt understand what he experienced. Even now, I still dont know. But at the time he returned, twenty yearster, he had be a terrifying existence. Something even a god would fear. That was the one you were speaking about, the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. At this point, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a gasp, unconsciously looking at the Ninth Holy Guard. At this moment, the Ninth Holy Guard became extremely stirred. Little skeleton, if you know the reason why Elux became that way at that time, could you tell me? That would clear up the doubt that had remained in my heart all this time. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon asked the Ninth Holy Guard. The Ninth Holy Guard appeared at a loss, before shaking his head, I dont know either. At the time I encountered master, he was already known as the Slumbering Cmity Elux, the most powerful necromancer of all time. So you were really the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon of that time. I still remember that you had a conversation with master, but disappeared after that. Could it be that master didnt tell you back then? The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon lightly shook his head, Thats right. After his return, I discussed once with him, hoping to understand and to persuade him. But the Elux from that time had already changedpletely, bing totally hysterical and unreasonable. He seemed only preupied with strength, but I could see that his soul was contaminated by something, deceiving and filling him with wrath. I dont know why he did that, but I can be certain that something happened to his body. As the spokesman of order and peace that I am, he invited me to apany him in changing the world, cleaning all the human filth. But how could Imit such disastrous acts with him? In the end, none of us managed to convince him, and all I could do was to leave, leave forever, in order to avoid encountering the same ending as my ancestors. Since then, I havent met him ever again. At this point, the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon stared at Long Haochens face with a firm look, For this reason, the Scion of Light you are, shouldnte to a hasty verdict. Its true that Elux was the origin of the terrible catastrophe that fell upon humans, but I am certain that some extreme pain was filling his heart, causing even his nature to change in such way. In reality, the kindness that is so symbolic of Scions of Light still remained in the depths of his heart. Otherwise, he wouldnt have let me go, and wouldnt have harmed a single civilian in the terrible war that followedter. All he did was to defeat the human armies and ughter many of the nobles. I hope to understand him, to understand the story behind his acts. I dont know what happened to Elux, but I dare say that it must have been a very significant event. In the blink of an eye, so many years passed already. Everything that was here before disappeared, and Elux isnt here anymore. I know about the descent of the demons as well. Perhaps, it could be to punish you humans for your greediness and evil nature that they appeared. I also sensed your appearance. The Scion of Light is pure, but the purer an existence is, the more it is intolerant to little imperfections. If there was a quality I could hope to give you, that would be tolerance. No matter when, and no matter what experience you will encounter, if you can remain magnanimous and tolerant in all circumstances, perhaps will you see the world differently. Hearing the words of the Snail of Sun and Moon, Long Haochen nodded earnestly, engraving all the words of this ancestor that lived in fear for close to ten thousand years in his mind. He couldnt deny the evil nature of humans, and this was the first time he heard these stories about the former Scions of Light, the words of the snail rang a loud rm bell in his heart. Thank you for your warning, senior. In my current state, I have no way to protect you, but I will engrave inside of me everything you told me. I will maybee to look for you in the future, and I hope that at that time, I will be able to stand in front of you with a clear conscience. Long Haochens words were earnest, and therades by his side seemed to be all staring at him. Everyone had epted to obey him willingly, and could attest that at least since they met up, Long Haochen could absolutely have a clear conscience regarding everything he did. However, the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon shook its head to these words, letting out a sigh, Unfortunately, I cannot see you. Can you guess what I realized over these past thousands years regarding my kin? I finally understood what my two ancestors did wrong. But in this life, even if I attempt a new try, I wontmit the same mistake. Chapter 452 - Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (I)

Chapter 452: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (I)

Trantor: GravityTales You cannot see me? Long Haochen gave a shocked look to the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. He seemed unable to understood what this self proimed beseecher of the peace and the order meant by that. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon revealed a expression close to a smile, Can you guess what I meant? At a loss, Long Haochen shook his head. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon continued, The defect of my two ancestors was their spirit of sacrifice. They had forgotten that belonging to our race of Divine Snail of Sun and Moon is originally a crime. Our very existence and our flesh is a lure, that even a Scion of Light cannot resist. But in the same way, as spokespersons of the God of Light, we dont have the obligation to assist the Scion of Light wholeheartedly. So I came to a decision long ago. Now that you finally appeared before my eyes, this long life of mine should finally be close to its end. I cannot see what will happenter, but only the Will of Heaven, I only hope that this sacrifice of mine wonte to naught. Senior, you Full of shock, Long Haochen unconsciously stamped the ground. Dont attempt to stop me. No one can control me. Even god wouldnt be able to. Youngster, although I dont know your name, what moved me was the earlier disy of your kindness. You still possess the essence of your purity as a Scion of Light. You dont have to feel pained because of my death, I have already been living in this world for far too long. My life energy is already close to extinct, and I am already near myst breath right now. To me, having been able to live long enough to encounter you is a perfect ending. I also hope that I will be the veryst Divine Snail of Sun and Moon to descend in this world. My name is Long Haochen. Long Haochens both fists were gripped tightly. He could clearly perceive that the life energy of the nearby Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was circting at an extreme speed. Just like a dam, his cirction of energy increased in intensity, as if his body had turned into a waterball long ago. But the next instant, the external part of this waterball was breached in an irreparable way. Dots of sparkling golden light drifted through the air from the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, filling it with brilliant gold and slightly shivering. Every soft fluctuation produced this way would cause the air to shake. A rich and soft light essence propagated, cleaning the hearts of all the people present. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon dered in a soft voice, Long Haochen, keep my previous words in your mind. The tolerance I spoke about is not only to be directed at others, but also at yourself. You may be the Scion of Light, but it doesnt make you a perfect being. Everyone can make mistakes, but you dont have to let them affect your heart, and stay tolerant toward yourself. I have to go, my body will be protecting you as an unyielding shield. I hope that my departure today will help to change your concepts of morality and conscience. No matter what you may encounter in the future, you mustnt go past your limits. If one day, you manage to meet the Slumbering Cmity Elux, please ask him about the motives behind his acts on my behalf. With that shadow in his heart, his soul cannot possibly have found peace yet, even after so much time passed. The voice of Divine Snail of Sun and Moon appeared weaker and weaker, until disappearingpletely. And its body started getting transparent. Brilliant light drifted in the air like golden crystals, before slowly falling onto that carapace. The soft golden light kept drawing circles and emitting impressive light waves. Tears started dripping from Long Haochens face, as his expression changed indescribably. With his right hand ced on his chest, thumps could be heard resounding from his heart, performing a dignified knight salute in front of the gradually disappearing Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. Not only him, but the others also performed dignified salutes of their respective vocations, following with the eyes the departure of that dignified divine beast aged thousands of years. Along with specks of golden light, its huge shell suddenly started whirling. At every spin, its color darkened bit after bit, and its volume shrank. As it went on at a speed that one could still follow at the naked eye, a short whileter, it shrunk into a yellow ball of light, floating in the air heading straight toward Long Haochen. On his left hand that Long Haochen unconsciously lifted, that orange ball of light looked about as big as an eye, falling directly on his left hand. The Glorious Holy Armor didnt seem to be any obstruction in front of it, and Long Haochen just felt a warm feeling on his left hand, before that warmth spread out onto his whole body, including even his very soul. Permeated by this warm feeling, Long Haochen felt his heart bing all the more transparent, as all the constrained feelings in his heart, including the remorse he had after learning about Eluxs origins, disappeared without exception. That kind of pure heart like what a newborn would feel unaffected by any impurity. His spiritual energy didnt increase at all, but from his first contact with that moist feeling, Long Haochen came to understand how important the gift he just received from the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was. It didnt only help him by sharing his memories and warnings, but most of all, used hisst bits of vital force to cleanse his soul. The others didnt have direct impact, but in their eyes, the changes on Long Haochen were however very clear. As the yellow light fused with him, Long Haochens whole body appeared transparent. Be it in his expression, aura or spiritual energy, he appeared to have gained a kind of pure and holy touch. In particr, the expression in Long Haochens eyes seemed to have gotten back to how it looked at the time of their first encounter. Looking at his left hand, Long Haochen went silent for a moment. Suddenly, he then took two steps forward, slowly kneeling onto the ground, before bowing in the direction where the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon disappeared. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon didnt only teach him about tolerance, but also about sacrifice. Defense of Sun and Moon, borrowing strength from the owners heart. Guided by the Light, Blessed by the Gods. Bringing a new dawn, the divine snail shall act as shield. Once again standing up, Long Haochen slowly lifted his left hand. An orange luster suddenly shone on it, and immediately, an entirely pure and limpid shield of one meter diameter appeared on his left hand. Its shape was exactly the same as that of the shell of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. The ring of light forming its shape condensed little by little, gaining in power and softness, containing boundless and lofty power. It carried the name Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. That golden shield glinted of an orange brilliance, which could only signify one thing. That it was a piece of Epic Tier Equipment. Any existing weapons would, only upon reaching the Epic Tier, acquire a special luster of orange color, symbol of the Epic Tier. And another change would follow upon reaching the level of divine tool, the disappearance of that luster. Even within the Knight Temple, only twelve of the Pure Gold Foundation Armors reached that level. And the Twelve Saint Knights wielding them are second only to the Divine Knights in position. The Saint Knight Han Qian was formerly one of these twelve Saint Knights, but after bing old, he retired from the front lines, and thus handed the Pure Gold Foundation Armor of Epic Tier back in exchange for an ordinary Pure Gold Foundation Armor. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon Long Haochen gained at this very moment was exactly a powerful piece of Epic Equipment as well, boasting the legendary defense of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. From this, one might well imagine the boost this would give to a Guardian Knight such as Long Haochen. This was already beyond the reaps from a lucky encounter, and closer to mad luck. But at this very moment, Long Haochen only had his heavy duty and deep emotions in his mind. We are going. Once again giving a serious look at the direction of the ce where the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon disappeared, Long Haochen led hisrades towards the exit. The rewards they gained this time from the Swamps of Gloom were a lot more valuable than they imagined,parable even to what they originally had gained back in the Illusory Paradise. It was just that the gains from this time werent as direct, but in some sense, they could be said to be even more important. Forest Boas, Saw Skates, Devil Snakes, the Devil Snake Demon God and the Forest Boa King, as well as the fallen demon god pir and the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon they obtained. If all this could be converted into something valuable, and given a few years to be assimted, it could be actually enough to make them reach the Emperor Grade as a Demon Hunt Squad. But, until this day a Demon Hunt Squad of less than thirty years of age never appeared. Without a doubt, the dual core they had with the pair of gods chosen one formed by Long Haochen and Caier yed an extremely important role, but just as importantly, luck stood by their side. Aftering out from the cave, everyone looked at Long Haochen, waiting for him to direct them. If they took the same path as before, they would undoubtedly once again face great difficulties, so the best way was obviously to leave from the poisonous swamps by flight. This would not only optimize their speed to the maximum, but also save them a lot of time, for their most important priority was to leave the Swamps of Gloom as soon as possible. But unfortunately, given Haoyues massive consumption, he wouldnt be able to carry everyone and fly. Thus Long Haochen sank into a short time of hesitation. Boss, how about leaving by flight? Isnt that just a bit of poison? Well just have to make a path and that will be it. Sima Xian proposed. Long Haochen looked at Lin Xin, querying, Is your spiritual energy enough? Lin Xin nodded, hinting that he had no problem. Long Haochen dered, Okay, then I will be in charge of clearing up a way in a bit. Preserve your battle formation, everyone; we will be flying straight ahead, and go to high altitude right aftering out of the poison fog. Then we will keep charging straight. Han Yu, Sima, Yuanyuan, Twelfth and Tenth, the five of you will form an external circle in the formation. I will be flying at the very front, while Yinger, Caier, Ninth, Eleventh and Lin Xin will remain in the center. The mages in the center of the formation are to have some spell kept in preparation. Yinger, have McDull get ready to release the imposing might of a Devil Dragon. In case we encounter some obstacle in our way, no matter what enemy it is, everyone is to attack at full strength, before getting away from it, and rush out as fast as possible. Understood? Chapter 453 - Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (II)

Chapter 453: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (II)

Yes. Everyone replied. The four wings on Long Haochens back slowly spread out, and everyone released their wings, arranging in the formation he instructed. An orange glow shone on his left arm, once again raising the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Light. In his right hand appeared the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This was the most powerful set of equipment Long Haochen had ever possessed. A golden ring of light rapidly came out of Long Haochens body. That was Faith Halo, apanied with Guardians Favor, Angels Blessings, Toughness Halo, enveloping the whole group. The Aria of the Goddess of Light held high above his head, started letting out white heat. His crystal clear eyes shone with a sacred aura. From the Aria of the Goddess of Light, the white heat came out bursting in a sh. pping the wings on his back with force, Long Haochen suddenly rose to the air, spreading it into the air. These werent exactly mes, but holy power, taking shape all around him. Releasing it like surges of mes in this way, even if it was through the use of a godly sword such as the Aria of the Goddess of Light, it was bound to take a huge toll on Long Haochens spiritual energy. But the result was as expected. With his holy power spreading out in such a way, all poisonous fog within a range of a hundred meters disappeared. Go! Long Haochen let out a loud shout, that the others didnt dare neglect. Following him closely, while preserving the formation, their spiritual wings soared in the air. Long Haochens flying speed was really fast, and almost instantly, he reached an altitude of over a hundred meters. Then, taking a slight pause, he waited for his mates to catch up. Meanwhile, the radiance from his holy power kept gaining in intensity, breaking up arge portion of the surrounding poison. Very rapidly, everyone gathered to his side, elevating at a rapid speed. At this time, Long Haochen realized that when spreading out his senses, his perception of the surroundings had be a lot stronger than before. As expected, the poisonous fog in these Swamps of Gloom was really thick. Even after rising above five hundred meters from ground, they still had yet to leave the range of the poison, with the dark green color still present as far as eye could see. If not for the illumination from Long Haochens holy power, their line of sight would be pitch ck. Be careful everyone. Long Haochen gave a sudden shout, before immediately letting out an orange radiance from his left hand. All everyone got to see was a wide expanse of orange light sprinkling from Long Haochens hand, enveloping the whole group, before their surroundings turned into an orange world. Whats this? The Shield Wall Technique used by Guardian Knights? It cant be??Everyone was filled with curiosity and shock. Right, what Long Haochen just used was the Shield Wall Technique used by Guardian Knights. To say nothing of hisrades, even the man himself didnt expect the power of Shield Wall to reach such a level. Ordinarily, a Guardian Knights Shield Wall would form a defense only in one direction, protecting the whole body, but that area wouldnt exceed ten square meters, making it a powerful unidirectional defensive skill. At the time when Long Haochens Shield Wall, his thoughts were only at forming a defense above them. But who could have expected that after his spiritual energy was injected into the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, it would suddenly let out its orange light. Long Haochen felt as if his senses were attached onto that shield, before the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon expanded by itself. Its original diameter of one meter unexpectedly reached the massive length ten meters, before turning into the shape of a massive orange shell of light enveloping everyone. Deep inside, Long Haochen felt that the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon released an aura simr to the sun, making the soft fluctuations of spiritual energy it let out hard to describe. This gave him a mysteriously reassuring feeling. Pop, pop, pop A series of knocks could be heard, but inside the Shield Wall, no change could be seen. Even its user Long Haochen didnt feel any impact. More shockingly, the orange colored Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon suddenly became transparent, like an orange ice crystal, making them able to see through the shell. With the help of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Long Haochen saw that as the surrounding poisonous fog kept getting dispersed by his holy power at an increasingly faster speed, the danger that his instincts suddenly felt was a group of ten centimeters long winged insects. These flying insects had very fierce looks,rge heads. Half of their head consisted of arge mouth and the fierce teeth on it. On their backs were wings, that kept letting out green poisonous fog, as they attempted to bite through the defense of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Individually these flying insects would be nothing more than a joke for Long Haochens group, as these looked to be at most magical beasts of the second or the third rank. But in spite of their size, their numbers were really terrifying. The whole outside of the Shield Wall waspletely filled with these insects. Even if their attacks were repelled one after another by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, their numbers were enough to make the external poisonous fog be blotted out. This was terrifyingly a group of at least a billion Poison Flying Insect. Long Haochens group then understood what was the most terrifying species in these Swamps of Gloom. When numbers reached a certain threshold, it was bound to produce a qualitative difference. To say nothing of Long Haochens group, even if the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius was here, his only possible way out would be to escape back to the ground. In this situation, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon showed an incredible toughness. In itself, it didnt have any offensive ability that could be of harm to the enemy, but was able to rebound the flies, and spread out soft light fluctuation. Every time these fluctuation spread out, arge amount of these flying ants would get shot back, and none of them ended up able to bite at its main part. At the same time, Long Haochen found out that the spiritual energy consumed by the Shield Wall was in the contrary really tiny. Even when the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon covered such arge area, the consumption of Long Haochens spiritual energy was only at five percent. Considering his total spiritual energy was a bit more than 14,000 units, this little consumption was almost nothing. It would take only a few breaths for him to recover it through his three spiritual cavities. Fly at full speed to rush out of here! Even if the poisonous fog was even wider, it still had an end. It wouldnt make sense if flying out of it was impossible. Under the protection of that orange brilliance, Long Haochens group flew for over a thousand meters, before finally seeing the light again. As they rushed out of this encirclement, the Poison Flying Insects that were surrounding the Shield Wall finally disappeared. However, everyone inside the Shield Wall was still drenched in cold sweat. The number of flying bugs was really terrifying. So they were actually the origin of all that poisonous fog. In over a kilometer of poisonous fog, all the space was upied by those flying insects. There had to be millions and millions of them for that! Without an incredible piece of omnidirectional defensive equipment such as the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, even if a powerhouse of the ninth step stepped in it, he would hardly meet another end than that of food for the Poison Flying Bugs. As they dashed out, upon reaching the end, the outside Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon darkened by a lot, visibly from the corrosion caused by the poison fog. Had they remained in this poisonous fog any longer, Long Haochen wouldnt dare be certain that the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon would havested. And furthermore, the most terrifying thing was that, in the poison, no other elemental existence could be transferred. At theter stages of his flight, Long Haochen had to rely on his own reserves of spiritual energy, without a way to recover spiritual energy. It was already the evening. Twilight was shining upon the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, making its orange glint milder, and remarkable. Long Haochen stopped Shield Wall, taking a breath at the direction of the setting sun. Arge amount of light essence immediately flew towards him, replenishing his previous consumption. Right at this time, Long Haochen suddenly felt a burst of heat from the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Looking at it, it had a somewhat transparent look. In a sh of light, the shield vanished gradually into his left hand, causing him to lose control over it. How could this be? Long Haochen was stunned. Was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon unable to bear the previous corrosion? Attempting a few times, he was unable to summon the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon back. It looked that he was yet far from having discovered the mysteries behind that piece of Epic Equipment. A fresh and clean air filling them, everyone took calm breaths just like Long Haochen, letting the lingering fears still filling them go away. Lin Xinughed out, Boss, now that we did destroy a demon god pir, cant we call ourselves heroes of the Alliance, of humanity? Seeing his excited look, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out augh, but didnt utter a word in response. On the side, Han Yu responded, You are right, but we were heroes from the beginning. The instant we became Demon Hunters, it was already the case. Demon Hunter is a lifelong upation. This duty may end in three circumstances. The first is by a decision of the Alliance, the second is the case that we arent able to keep fighting. But the most possible one is by death in the battlefield. As long as the demon side doesnt go extinct, we, Demon Hunters will have to keep contending against them. For the sake of the Alliance, we cannot care about our own lives, and for the humanity, we have to be willing to sacrifice our own lives. How couldnt we be heroes? Lin Xin extraordinarily became silent. His boast stopped, but it still didnt change the fact that on the faces of every Demon Hunter from the 64th squad appeared smiles in spite of themselves. To fight for the sake of the people, for the sake of humanity. To them, this was only natural. Chapter 454 - Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (III)

Chapter 454: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon (III)

Trantor: GravityTales We are leaving. Making use of the lighting from the setting sun, Long Haochen pointed a direction, bringing hisrades there by flight. The group of seven people and four holy guards took the shape of eleven glows of lights, and as they flew at an altitude of two kilometers, the horizon rapidly disappeared from their sight. At the time they took sixteen ughter Missions, Long Haochen made this choice in view of an extensive trip, nning on expending at least one year toplete these missions, without necessarily ending uppleting them all. And on this day, several monthster, they didnt onlyplete all the missions, but even managed to destroy a demon god pir, and gained a lot treasures from the trip. Of course, over these few months, the cost they paid was simrly high. Having paced back and forth a few times between life and death, Long Haochen and Caier narrowly died in the hands of demons, and the final result was Caiers loss of memories. Thesest few months felt like years to them, and everyone seemed to have matured a lot from the experiences they had during this time. It was not for no reason that Long Haochen led his group north. By heading in this direction to leave the Andro Province, they could keep themselves away from the main demon forces. That was because the Central Demon Province was at the south. If the Demon God Emperor or another demon god were to sense the death of Andromalius or the destruction of his demon god pir, they would be bound to send powerhouses from the south. For this reason, leaving from the south or the west could lead to a direct encounter with these powerhouses, among whom there could be very possibly extremely powerful enemies. Only by heading all the way north could they keep away from these enemies. Before entering the Swamps of Gloom, Long Haochen took good care in choosing their path of retreat. First they would head north, before proceeding to the west after reaching the cold regions of the north. This time, their destination of retreat was the Exorcist Mountain Path. Wasnt it right at the north of the Temple Alliance? Thus it couldnt be considered so long a detour, yet the safest path. Of course, they couldnt keep traveling by flight for too long. First, ites with a too huge consumption of spiritual energy, and then demons also have abilities of detection. Of course, at present they were in the most inner part of the demon territory, almost at the east coast of the continent. The surveince of this area was a lotxer, and in particr, no one would possibly be monitoring the area above the Swamps of Gloom. Going by flight at full speed, Long Haochensrades of the sixth step started to reach their limits after half an hour of flight. Fortunately, this time was enough for them to leave the range of the swamps. By the time they set down, it was already deep into the night, but Long Haochen didnt give hisrades a very long break. Only letting them the time to recover some spiritual energy, even making use of some of the pills prepared beforehand by Lin Xin. Then everyone immediately hastened on their journey, speeding towards north. Afternding back on the ground, Long Haochen called back the four holy guards, and had everyone disguise themselves back into Moon Demons, travelling day and night at rushed speed. The defenses on the eastern territory were indeedx. Han Yu summoned his Demonic Eye, and used the Scouting Technique with Eyes of Truth to scan their way, and everyone tried the utmost to avoid areas inhabited by demons, and like that, the trip went on smoothly. They headed north for about five days, and as time passed, the temperature kept going down. The 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad was already close to the tip of the northern territory, and this time Long Haochen changed direction, and started to head west. On the following trip of half a month, everything extraordinarily went smoothly, even if they encountered two rtively densely popted demon provinces in their path. To their great luck, they didnt run into any inconvenience, and didnt discover anyrge demon armies. Nightfall. Everyone was seated across a bonfire, roasting provisions. Long Haochen sat there, wrinkling his brows, seemingly preupied by some thoughts. Sima Xian chuckled, Boss, whats up? Our way back is going so smoothly: what could you be worried about? ording to the map, we will reach the frontier between the human and the demon territory approximately tomorrow at noon. As long as we pass the demon frontier, we will be able reach our destination, the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Long Haochen shook his head, and replied, Dont you all find that quite strange? On our way back, we certainly intently took a remote and round-about path, but isnt it going excessively smoothly? The demon poption is so astonishing, but we didnt even run into a single demon army. This is really abnormal. In fact, we have already crossed many frontiers of provinces on our way. And as we keep getting closer, we instead keep encountering more and more food transport. Although the demons are stationingrge armies here, arent these numbers of rations too much? Han Yus line of thinking being the closest of Long Haochen, he immediately reacted to his remark, Captain, are you saying that the demons are very possibly plotting something ofrge scale against humans? Long Haochen nodded, It is highly possible. Although I still dont know how much rations they have brought here, such a high concentration of provision is rarely seen. The armies they are transferring this time must be really considerable, and may even surpass the ones we encountered at the time of our first trial in that same ce. Sima Xian revealed an angry smile, Isnt this an ideal encounter? Since we happen to be encountering them, how about getting rid of some little demons? Speaking of it, War Missions are still in the end the best ones out there. With our abundant rear support, and friendly help in the battlefield, we can go all out in the battlefield without worries. Times could be said to have changed for the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad,pared to their first excursion in Exorcist Mountain Pass. They were now a lot stronger. Sima Xians words raised the spirits of the whole group. After continuous experience of death and life, trials of iron and blood, while maturing, their strength also increased. The battlefield was not only the best ce to hone their skills and experience, but also a ce where they would gain many rewards. Long Haochen ordered, Han Yu, from today on, you will have the Demonic Eye keep its Hawks Eye and Eyes of the Truth activated. And maintain your vignce everyone. We will have some rest here this evening and tomorrow as well. After days of rushed travelling, everyone must be quite tired. Since the Exorcists Mountain Pass can possibly get attacked by the demons, we shall rest here until getting back to our peak state. I reckon that crossing the frontier wont be easy. Indeed, they didnt waste any time ever since leaving the Swamps of Gloom. Although everyone still had some energy left, after having travelled at full speed every day, the group was in the end very tired. In particr, the main point was that they were still in demon territory, and thus had to always remain on high alert, so everyone was somewhat tired. After taking warm provisions, Long Haochen gave a gentle look to the nearby Caier, feeling at peace. Over the past few days, Caier attitude towards him had gotten a lot better. At least she didnt remain as vignt as when she had just lost her memories. And gradually, she had also gotten more familiar with the others. What made Long Haochen most delighted was that her grasp over her abilities was graduallying back, her control already being at least back to eighty percent of her original level. Her development seemed to continue smoothly. Long Haochen also believed that meeting her parents and rtives would help greatly in recovering her memories back. Ever since his baptism by the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, Long Haochens mind seemed a lot more stable. The negative feelings he had umted through so many years of self discipline ended up being cleansed thoroughly, his pure heart as a Scion of Light waspletely back. This made not only his thinking all the more thorough, and his maturity reinforced but also affected his attitude, resolution and calm. Caier seemed to be sensing Long Haochen gaze. Right after she raised her head at him, the two of them looked at each other. The corners of Caiers mouth raised slightly, she revealed a moving smile. Long Haochen was stupefied, suddenly realizing that Caiers current predicament wasnt bad either. Although she lost all her memories, it also released her from all the painful memories from her childhood. It was only that he didnt know when he would be able to regain his past intimacy with her. How he wanted to hug her in his embrace! After resting for one night and a whole day, everyone in the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad felt in high spirits. Ever since the day they had arrived in demon territory, aside from the period of time they spent at the team section in the Jacques City, this was the first time they were able to get such peaceful rest. The day wasing to an end, and night fell gradually. Long Haochen chose this timing to set out with hisrades again, heading for the frontier. With the help of the Demonic Eye serving as their main scout, they advanced with utter care. Far ahead, the demon camps were already in their view. At the time everyone was close enough to survey the scene from above, they couldnt help but shiver. The faces of every one of them instantly looked unsightly. Compared to thest time they saw it, these demon camps were at least three times greater scope. In fact, among demons, only middle and high ranked demons would be able to reside in camps, whereas lower ranked ones like Dual ded Demon would only be able to reside in the wilderness. The camps near the Exorcist Mountain Pass were originally not small at all, but with its size shooting up by threefolds, the size of their army ought to exceed a million men. In fact, even if the demons were to bring their entire race to arms, an army gathering a million of them was an iparably terrifying sight. These were iparable numbers already. And atop of that, the most shocking wasnt these numbers. What shocked them the most was that when surveying the camp from afar, they could clearly see that eight glows of different colors were shooting up, faintly lighting up the area of the camps like rays shot at the sky. Demon god pirs! These were actually eight of them, meaning that eight demon gods were keeping watch. And furthermore, the light spreading from two of them was really intense, making it clear that these ones werent ordinary, belonging to mighty demon gods of the top ten. _Just what are demons up to? Are they nning tounch a full scale attack?_ Everyone in Long Haochens group had these same thoughts. At the sight of these seemingly endless camps, Long Haochen pondered. The others remained silent, and all were waiting for his verdict calmly. An army of a million demons, with eight demon gods overseeing it. Can one really describe it otherwise than overbearing? Chapter 455 - The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range (I)

Chapter 455: The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range (I)

Trantor: GravityTales We are making a detour. Long Haochen decided after pondering for a short time. The Exorcist Mountain Pass is close to the middle of the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, stretching a kilometer. Even if these demon armies numbered even more than we are expecting, they cant possibly cover the whole mountain range. We will just take the long route, looking for a location with smaller defenses to breach our way out. As long as we pass through the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, there will naturally be no issue for us to return to Exorcist City. After nning this out, everyone immediately set out, while keeping enough distance with the demon army, travelling on a curved trajectory to the north. Because the demon base camps were in the southeast, by passing through north, they would avoid the majority of the demon army and wouldnt easily run across demon reinforcements. The demon camps turned out to be evenrger than they imagined. The main forces army extended over fifty kilometers, and arge amount of subsidiary soldiers and patrols were scouting on the border. Aside from the area right in front of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, at regr intervals, demon beacons and garrison stood in guard. And some were ced at most spots at the edge of the mountain range, so as to prevent being caught in a surprise attack from the Alliance. After all, given the length of the frontiers, the demons couldnt possibly encircle the whole Temple Alliance either. Which was why Long Haochen chose to take a detour. Of course, this wasnt a method Long Haochen alone thought about. Almost all Demon Hunt Squads whose members are over the sixth step would choose to break through the frontier from a rather weakly defended ce, crossing it this way. For the sake of safety, Long Haochens group kept going north for a hundred more kilometers before stopping. At that very moment, the sky was greatly lit, and the afternoon would soon start. After finding a rather scarce shrubbery area, Long Haochen led hisrades to take a rest here. Night was the best timing to operate in secret, and tonight was the day they chose to return to the Alliance. In Long Haochens opinion, dawn was the best timing, because that time, humans as well as demons would all be a lot morex. But one factor determined his choice of time, and that was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. After attempting these few days, he figured that using the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon at dawn and dusk was impossible for him. Without question, this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was of epic tier, and a really powerful item for the protection of the group. The Shield Wall ability enabled to fully utilize the power of this shield, with the potential of even dying a powerhouse of the ninth step. A powerhouse of the eighth step could forget about breaking its defense easily. Although the danger of breaking out from here wasnt high, for the sake of safety, Long Haochen still preferred that the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon be functional when attacking the demon scouts. Everyone was recovering in these shrubs, and didnt light up a fire to remain inconspicuous, during their wait for the night time. Han Yus Demonic Eye stealthily floated over the shrubs. The gigantic eye would asionally let out a sh of bright light, scouting the surroundings. At this time, they were at about ten kilometers from the frontier, right at the limit of the range of their scouting mages. And furthermore, it was right in front of the Exorcist Mountain Range. In the sixty fourth Demon Hunt Squad, aside from the fastest cultivators being Long Haochen and Caier, the cultivation speed of the others was actually not slow at all. It was just that their progress was overshadowed by Long Haochen and Caier. For instance, the current Han Yu was already at 6,000 units of internal spiritual energy, reaching the standards of the fourth rank of the sixth step at a great speed. And he was not even twenty yet! To give a simpleparison, at this age, Long Haochens father may not even necessarily have reached this level of cultivation. Along with the increase of Han Yus strength, his magical beastpanion the Demonic Eye also evolved tomander level, barely attaining the power of a human powerhouse of the sixth step. The diameter of that eye was already half a meter, with four six meters long tentacles circling along. Although its utility to the team was mainly to do scouting, its fighting strength was still not to be underestimated. The sky gradually darkening, the demon armies on the frontier set up a bonfire. A group consisting of fifty Dual ded Demons was making a tour there. The Dual ded Demons formed thergest part of the demons in quantity, so this kind of hardbor was naturally given to them. Aside from Dual ded Demons, their ranks also contained a Demon Eye soldier, in charge ofmunication. As they were advancing, that Demon Eye soldier suddenly let out a shriek, stopping his advance. The Dual ded Demons hurried to stop and gathered around it. These lower ranked demons were unable to speak anynguage, and were relying on their instincts tomunicate. The six eyes of the Demon Eye soldier were staring at one direction. But the next instant, those demons all fell to the ground intuitively. A ck d person was walking rapidly towards their direction. Not human shaped, but a ck Gigantic Dragon of colossal size. Its eyes glinting red, coldly sweeping through the Demon Eye Soldier and the Dual ded Demons, making them almost limp. On the back of the ck Gigantic Dragon were a total of nine ck gowned people, among whom the one at the lead had an extremely handsome face. As he showed a tile to the Demon Eye and Dual ded Demons, they didnt stop over at all, simple striding forward as they passed by. Let alone stopping them to ask about their identity, the Demon Eye and Dual ded Demons didnt even have the courage to stand up, in front of the Devil Dragons might. All they could do was to follow them with their eyes, full of reverence, as these peak demon powerhouses drifted away, gradually disappearing in the night scene. The direction they were heading was toward the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. Until their sense of the dragons might disappeared totally, this patrol was groveling on the ground, taking visibly rough breaths. Given that it was the first time they saw peak powerhouses up close, seeing them act undisturbed would be the stranger thing. Simr situations happened twice or thrice in the frontier, and at least four patrols turned limp on the ground in front of them. If this was just a human shaped demon powerhouse, perhaps would they have dared to inquire them, but the issue was that they were led by a genuine Devil Dragon! The Demon Dragons amounted only two hundreds in total, being the genuine descendants of the Demon God Emperor. Even a rather low ranked demon god would act cautiously in front of one of them, to say nothing of these low grade demons in charge for patrolling. McDull is bing more and more awe-inspiring. Concealed behind a ck gown, a voice suddenly said in a low voice. The ck gowned man leading them turned his head back, coldly ring at the speaker. Then the ck gowned person suddenly shut his mouth, losing the courage to talk any more. Right, this ck gowned team was precisely Long Haochens group. For the sake of pretending to be a Demon Hunter Remover Squad, Long Haochen summoned the Eleventh and Twelfth holy guards, and had everyone be d in ck gown, while McDull directly take the shape of a Devil Dragon. Although he only had the mighty presence and aura, without the actual fighting strength, this was sufficient to scare the lower ranked demons. In their way, it turned out to be even more sessful than they expected. Until arriving at the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, McDull had to consume five demon crystals of the sixth step to maintain the appearance of a Devil Dragon without issue. Actually, with their current disguise, being trouble free was a given. With the shape of a Demon Hunter Remover Squad, led by a Devil Dragon, to say nothing of an ordinary patrolling team, even demons of the seventh or the eighth step wouldnt necessarily have dared stepping forward for an examination. A dragon-team Demon Hunter Removal, that was a core formidable existence. Simply because of the excessive amount of danger they experienced in demon territory, Long Haochen acted extremely cautiously. Only when finally entering the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, everyone started to rx. At this point only, they could be considered to have returned to the human domain. McDull turned back in his shape of pig, atst falling asleep in Chen Yingers arms. He obviously progressed well. In the past, even after taking enough magical crystal as supply, he couldnt possibly transform himself into a demon of the ninth step for so long. At least until Chen Yinger reached the seventh step, this was still too much for him to handle through normal means. After changing clothes from the ck gowns, removing the magical eyes, and recalling the two holy guards, Long Haochens group immediately changed back into the shape of a Demon Hunt Squad. Under their ck gowns, everyone was fully equipped. After exposing themselves, they naturally let out a powerful presence. Murderous spirit was cultivated in them through trials of life or death. They didnt realize it themselves, but in reality, the continuous act of tempering themselves had changed their manners enormously. There was nowhere to stop by, so the group immediately headed for the peak of the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. The Demon Resisting Mountain Range was thergest region of influence of the Temple Alliance, extending over five hundred kilometers, with a width close to five hundred kilometers. Without travelling by flight, at least two days would be required to travel through these mountain ranges. For the sake of prudence, and to avoid the possibility of getting found out by the enemies lying in patrol in the mountain range, Long Haochen naturally had them travel by walk. To them, climbing the mountains wasnt so much of an effort either. Wang Yuanyuan was here to give Chen Yinger some help, and the same went for Sima Xian and Lin Xin. This way, their climbing speed improved significantly. The night gradually deepened. Nearly one hour after entering the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, Long Haochens group finally reached the first summit. This mountain peak was over two kilometers high, filled with the cold of the north. The peak waspletely covered in ice and snow. The mountains wind was cold enough to give everyone chills. Something seems to have happened in the south. Han Yu suddenly told Long Haochen in a low voice. Long Haochen looked at a certain direction, at a point faintly discernible through the fog behind the hilltop. With the absence of light in the night, even his eyesight didnt manage to see discern anything in that direction. Han Yu continued, The Demonic Eye discovered it. Seems that there are quite a few people present. But it is rather far from here, making it impossible to determine whether it is people from our side or demons. After pondering for a short time, Long Haochen responded, Have the Demonic Eye act as scout. We have at least to find out whether they are trying to infiltrate the mountain, or heading out from it. Chapter 456 - The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range (I)

Chapter 456: The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Han Yus eyes lit up, immediately seeing through Long Haochens intention. Clearly, if this group was heading out from the mountain, they would most likely be humans. But if they were headed for the mountain, the probability of them being demons would be much higher. Humans would after all rarely set defenses in this area. For this reason, regardless of whether these sudden troops are humans or demons, they were probably headed for a raid. The Demonic Eye lightly swayed its tentacles. Being a mental type magical beast, its utility could sometimes be even greater than higher ranked magical beasts. Being able to float, it simply flew without a care towards the ce where he detected some presences. If one paid careful attention, he would realize that a slightly distorted area surrounding the body of the Demonic Eye. That was its mental fluctuations. With these, any scouting spell in contact with the area would react as if it was air, unable to register the slightest reaction, especially the onesunched from a distance. The Demonic Eye just returned. The whole process of scouting the whole area only took him only about a quarter of an hour. On his return, without need for Han Yu to say anything, its huge eye let out a silver white luster. Immediately, brilliant rays were shot in front of the group, revealing a scene in front of everyones eyes. Seeing the scene, Han Yu was greatly startled, Oh, so you gained yet another ability upon evolving. Its actually able to store images. How great! The others couldnt help but sigh in awe before that sight, staring at it. Immediately, serious expressions appeared on their faces. The ones that appeared in the scene were demons. They were silently riding over the mountain, climbing over the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. One could clearly see that among these demons, some were floating and dispersing distorted light waves all around them. They belonged to a small demon n, called Demon Envoys. They specialized in mental attribute, but still couldntpare to amander ranked Demonic Eye. Their cultivation, roughly, at the fourth step, made them capable of using a mental protective screen like Demonic Eye. Because, the Demonic Eye surpassed them in cultivation by a great margin, despite both being mental attribute magical beast, he still discerned their presence clearly . The Demon Envoys numbered at least thirty. Having fierce-looking ugly faces, they were about the size of human infants. Their mental fluctuation covered the entirety of the demon armies. These demon troops werent huge, only roughly five thousand in number. However, from Long Haochens understanding of them, these were definitely elite troops. Aside from Demon Envoy, in the sky were Demon Carriers, sharp tongued withrge hollow bellies. Although they dont have many abilities forbat, their strength in restricting others was something Long Haochens group saw and experienced personally. Back then, it was because of those that Tian Qings king grade Demon Hunt Squad they had encountered nearly died when surrounded by the Jacques Demons. Among the ground troops, roughly a thousand Berserk Demons were standing at the front. From the Demonic Eyes record, one could clearly see that this thousand Berserk Demons were clearly elites, among which over a hundred Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons stood as leaders, each one of them leading nine ordinary Berserk Demon. Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons have strength at the sixth step, and the most powerful of them can reach the seventh step. As for the elite Berserk Demons, they ought to be roughly at the fifth step of cultivation. In fact, Berserk Demons are an elite race. Among them, the total count of Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon totalled no more than two hundred. Their fighting strength on the ground wasnt simply limited to them being a valiant crew, but an unyielding group of soldiers until death. The Temple Alliance describes them generally as Mad Demon believers, making clear from this how valiant as a fighter they are. The thousand plus Berserk Demons aside, the real main force of these elite troops consisted some true powerhouses. First were the five hundred Demonic Bears, of tremendous build, extraordinary strength and unpierceable defense. Even the most ordinary Demonic Bear was at the sixth step. To an army, having existences such as Demonic Bears was like equipping an extremely solid independant shield to its troops. Behind the Demonic Bears came five hundred demons of a kind Long Haochens group had never seen. These demons let out specks of light from their bodies, looked humanoid at first, but if one took special care, they would notice that their bodies were actually floating in midair, above the ground. d in cloaks, all their hands were grasping staves flickering in the same light as their bodies. What kind of demons are these? Wang Yuanyuan asked in puzzlement, They shouldnt be Star Demons right? They are all supposed to be d in orange color, making them very easy to identify. Long Haochens face became serious, These should be Hell Demons, experts in darkness magic. Among demons, the two pure magic focused demon races are really powerful. The first is naturally the Star Demon n hailed as the most powerful n of magic users. Relying on the Great Prophecy Technique, their position among demons has never been swayed. But another powerful kind of magic focused demons exists, and its the Hell Demons, from the pure magic n of the same name, that we are seeing before our eyes. Their chief is the fifth demon god currently, Hell Demon God Marbas, of majestic position within demons. In fact among demon gods, one could say that the ones with real influence could be said to be the Moon Demon God Agares, the Star Demon God Vassago, the Demon God of Death Saminaga and this Hell Demon God Marbas. I didnt expect this group of Hell Demons to show, and actually have over five hundred members. They should be at least at the sixth step of cultivation, and there is bound to be some over this level among their ranks. A thousand Berserk Demons, five hundred Demonic Bears, Hell Demons and then, three thousand Grand Fiends, led by another Fiend, reaching eight meters in height, with blood colored wings on its ck. At the time this powerful Grand Fiend appeared in the Demonic Eyes image, it stopped a secondter. Clearly, the Demonic Eye feared getting discovered by him. Could that be a Demon King ranked Fiend? Han Yu let out a gasp. Long Haochen silently nodded, Should be the case. Some say that the Death Demon God Saminaga has under his lead four Grand Fiend Demon Kings, while some say that there are six of them. All are powerhouses of the ninth step, treated as brothers by Saminaga. This troop is really too fearful. I cannot say whether we are lucky or not. Everyone naturally understood what Long Haochens words meant. Their luck could be said to be good because they discovered this demon troop. At least they would have the opportunity to send a warning sign to the Tem Alliance. But what was there to warn them about? In front of this elite corps they only felt helpless, what could they do? The level of danger was as one might well imagine, far surpassing their whole encounter in the Swamps of Gloom. The greatest danger in the Swamps of Gloom was the unknown. But the demons before their eyes were a real crushing threat. To say nothing about them, even a Titled Demon Hunt Squad would definitely not confront such a powerful and fearful demon troop head on. Even with the strength of the demons, they would certainly at most be able to dispatch ten elites troops of such scale. This was five thousand of them, among whom both the long distance attackers and close quarters soldiers are from high standing races! Even if their equipment could notpare to humans, their individual strength could only be described as terrifying, being an army reaching at least the sixth step. In fact, the humans could not possibly even gather two teams of this scale. Lin Xin wrinkled his brows, Are they looking to raid the Alliance from inside? If this army manages to enter the Alliance, I dont even dare imagine the consequences. Long Haochen nodded in silence. Han Yu informed Long Haochen, Captain, I have the information. This army is trying to avoid getting detected as they advance. I can certainly go faster by myself. I will be bringing the Demonic Eye with me. With his mental screen, I can surely reach the Exorcist Mountain Pass before them to call for reinforcements. At least, I will be able to inform the people defending the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. I believe that they will have their own ways to inform the troops on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Long Haochen blinked, and replied after pondering for a short time, Okay. Then thanks for your trouble. Be extremely careful. We will be trying our utmost to buy you some time. Since such a powerful team already entered the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, they could absolutely not waste any time. The earlier they informed the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, the more favourable the situation would be for them. Thus, he made the prompt decision to immediately go with Han Yus suggestion. Originally, the best candidate to go inform them should be Caier. Being an assassin, she certainly surpassed Han Yu in speed as well as concealing abilities. But the issue was that now that she hadnt her memories, the degree of uncertainty of letting her do this job was just too great. Long Haochen really didnt dare let her handle this task. Everything aside, what if she lost her way in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range? Immediately after summoning the Demonic Eye, Han Yu immediately descended the mountain from the other side. Before he left, Lin Xin specially pressed him to ept a few bottle of spiritual energy recovering pills. It was very clear that Han Yu had to head for the Demon Resisting Mountain Range at his fastest speed. This without a doubt woulde with an enormous consumption to him. After Han Yu left, Long Haochen formed a circle with the others, This demon troop isnt anything we can possibly contend against. Not only us, but even the Demon Resisting Mountain Range can honestly not. We are not experts in the aspects of military affairs or reinforcement transfers, so all we can do is to let the Demon Resisting Mountain Range know about this attack as soon as possible. Han Yu will need time, so we will have to attack this problem from two angles at the same time. First, we have to force them to expose their whereabouts, and also dy them as much as we can. But this is without doubt extremely dangerous. Yinger, you will stay here and not participate in this operation. Lin Xin, the same goes for you, the two of you are mages, for whom escaping will be too hard. Caier, will remain here to protect you two. Yuanyuan, and Sima Xian, you two will be covering the left and the right side, heading for high mountains on both sides. Take them by surprise, using your strength to cut through the mountain. Then with the rocks in the mountain, make some noise. The noisier the better. Thene back, and regroup with Yinger and Lin Xin. I will be attacking them in close range, and see whether I can find the chance to kill these Envoy Demons. Chapter 457 - The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range(III)

Chapter 457: The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range(III)

That wont do. Boss, its too dangerous. Lin Xin said with almost no hesitation. Long Haochens battle ns were spoken nonchntly, but in fact,ing in close range to grab the attention of this demon army was no trivial matter! In fact, among their ranks were Demon Carriers. Their mucus fluid affected arge area, in case one gets hit, even with Long Haochens cultivation, escape would be almost impossible. Hearing Lin Xins words, Long Haochens tone became strict, We are Demon Hunters, so braving danger is natural to us. And no one is more fitting than me for this task. Be at ease, I will have the help from the four holy guards and Yating. Haoyues strength is also back to eighty percent, and with the concealment from the Tower of Eternity, theres no way Id be unable to escape. Furthermore, if I am only by myself, escaping will be even easier. So having me charge is the best option. I cannot let these demons enter the range of the Alliance no matter what. Otherwise, many people will surely be put in a terrible situation. Who knows how many of ourpatriots will be harmed by these demons. Time is precious, we have to act with haste. Saying these words, Long Haochen took the initiative to press his way forward, only stepping on the rocks with the tip of his feet. As if he was gliding downward, his body remained in midair, with his spiritual energy restrained. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian nced at each other, immediately heading down. Although they werent as strong as Long Haochen, their speed was still a lot faster than when going up. Chen Yinger gloomilymented, And yet again Ive no part to y in. I really feel more and more useless. Caier sat down beside her, and also startedining, Arent I the same? He never brings me when doing these kind of things! He clearly thinks hes strong enough by himself. Seeing Caier throwing a tantrum of sorts, Chen Yinger anger suddenly disappeared. Raising the corners of her mouth, she let out augh, Caier, I like seeing you like this. Youre so cute. If I was a man, I would definitely go after you. Caier blinked her big eyes, looking at the direction where Long Haochen left, answering the point, Hes really not going to be in danger right? Lin Xin let out a mischievousughter, Be at ease; it wont be the case. As Boss said, having him go by himself is really going to be the safest. Vice-captain, I am realizing that you are showing more and more concern for him. Is it that your memories are resurfacing? Caier shook her head, I still cant remember. I just have the feeling that I somehow know him. And also, hes treating me so well. Being with him make me feel safe. Chen Yinger eximed lightly, Im envy you. Compared to a certain someone, Boss is really so much stronger. If I got to know him a bit younger, maybe I would have snatched him from you. Caier winked once more, You dont seem so capable of it though. Puhuhu Lin Xin had difficulty containing hisughter, Chen Yinger was staring with some surprise at Caier. However, seeing her pure beauty, she finally ended up discouraged. Right! Who could possibly snatch Long Haochen from Caiers hands. Travelling from peak to peak, Long Haochen only felt as if he had be wind at this point, despite having not released his spiritual wings. Because the rays of light released from his spiritual wings were extremely bright, he would very easily be found out if he did, whereas he had to do his utmost to conceal his aura at this very moment. Over ten thousand units of spiritual energy was transferred at every breath Long Haochen took breath. As the three spiritual cavities in his body were absorbing light essence in the air, his body felt a lot lighter. But under the effects of the biting cold, his descent wasnt so fast, as he seemed to stick to the ground. A faint twisting light appeared on Long Haochens forehead, looking close to the anti probing protective barrier ability of the Demonic Eye. Long Haochen obviously didnt use any ability of mental type, but never forget about his exceptional mental force. Although he wasnt a powerhouse of mental type, thus making him unable to directly use mental force, given the extreme heights reached by his mental capacity, even a direct attack of the Demonic Eyes Mental Shock would not show much effect. Long Haochen wasnt able to use rted techniques, but had the ability to transfer his powerful mental capacity, concentrating it all around his body, to form ayer of mental barrier. This was a different approach leading to the same result as the Demonic Eyes technique. However, as his mental capacity was entirely being used and covered the surroundings of his body, he was unable to use it to cover his surroundings. For this reason, this kind of method for using mental force could only be used to conceal himself when far away. Being a Temr Knight of the seventh step, being able to move unhindered in this mountain was naturally no issue to Long Haochen. Making sure to follow the path shown previously by the Demonic Eye, he pressed his way forward. Of course, going alone was a lot faster than when he was apanied by a crew. As this short trip went on, the distance separating him and the demons gradually shrank. Because it was in the south, the vegetations present here was lesser, onlyposed of some low height trees. Concealing only Long Haochen was perhaps feasible, but concealing an army of several thousand demons here would really be difficult. For this reason, when Long Haochen went through the third mountain, he was already able to see the path the demons were taking with his exceptional eyesight. Looking from afar, these demon powerhouses seemed to be forming a locust shape, as they advanced at flying speed towards the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. They really deserved being called demon elites. Their travelling speed was incredibly fast, also, they were extremely calm, not making any superfluous noise, nor any fluctuations from their spiritual energy, as they climbed by relying solely on their tyrannical physical constitutions. Without a doubt, the weakest in physical abilities within these demons were the Hell Demons, so they were carried and defended on the backs of the Demonic Bears, ced in the middle of their formation. However, in contrast with their weak physical constitutions, they had very powerful magic. Although he had never crossed swords with one before, Long Haochen was able to imagine the terrifying sight that would arise from a joint attack of this whole group of Hell Demons. Even if they were to attack the Demon Resisting Mountain Range from the front, that would still cause terrible losses on the material defenses of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, or even damage the soldiers themselves. In grouped battle or city defense, mages would have the greatest impact. So among the fortifications of the Six Great Temples, the Mage Temples is known as the hardest to break through. Fixing his eyes on the armys rapid advance, Long Haochen sunk into thought for a short time, before making his resolve very quickly. At least for the moment, he couldnt act yet. Seeing the demon army in such a neat formation, if he were to choose this time for a surprise attack, the Demon Carriers mucus would perhaps instantlye. And that time, his only means of escape would be to borrow power from either Haoyue or the Tower of Eternity. Unless left without other options, causing amotion in such a situation was out of question. So he had to wait for this elite armys formation to start bing disorderly. That would be the time to strike. Of course, he wouldnt foolishly aim for those heavily protected Hell Demons. That would be making a huge overestimation of his own capabilities. The envoys and carriers in the sky were his targets. The fact that both were specialized at support was no reason to underestimate their utility. With their presence, the human mage scouts would be blinded, making them invisible to the human armies until reaching the point of contact. I need a n. Long Haochen preserved a certain distance from the demon armies, while following them from behind. Like that, they advanced together towards the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. At the moment, they were already in the second half of the night. At most in two hours, the sun would start setting. But the night was moonless. This was the period right before dawn, which would often be the darkest of the day. As the sky was pitch-ck, it made it hard for them to find their way. Right at this time, a faint purple glint suddenly shone from afar. Long Haochen unconsciously gazed up to the sky, a smile drawn on his face. He knew that the opportunity he was waiting hade. This purple light caught the attention of therge demon army. This army of elites was extremely united, actually instantlying to a total stop, immobilizing themselves. All the demons kept watch, and a momentter, dense smell of darkness filled the air thoroughly. Right at this moment, in the region lit up in purple, a loud band sounded out, seemingly swaying the whole Demon Resisting Mountain Range. Immediately , series of rumbling bangs followed tightly, violently shaking the surroundings from that particr peak. In those faintly discernible glint of gold and purple color, one could see traces of great amount of rock dropping from the sky, falling down at mad speed towards the bottom of the mountains. Meanwhile, another mountain peak started to produce the same loud rumbling sounds, with arge amount of rocks falling down from the mountain. At this time, the demon armies were passing through a mountain cavity, so the falling stones were descending from peaks from both sides. Being just halfway through the path, they couldnt make it in time for escape. This was a situation where they could neither advance nor retreat. Although this was in the midst of the mountain, the peak and the bottom were separated by over one kilometer. The sudden appearance of these falling stones and their speed made their terrible power not the slightest inferior to the spell of the sixth step Falling Stones Rain. Chapter 458 - Surprise attack! (I)

Chapter 458: Surprise attack! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales However, this army of demon was really well trained. When suddenly targeted by such an attack, they still didnt show any signs of panic. All the Hell Demons gathered together, guarded singrly by all the Demonic Bears, making their pairings a good match. The Berserk Demons and Fiends also showed response from their own sides. More precisely, a half of the Fiends flew to the sky, intercepting the falling stones in the sky. At least with their act of smashing the rocks to pieces, their volume lessened. Also, another portion of the demons headed to the offense, directly flying to the two sides, at a very rapid speed. Without a doubt, it was Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian that appeared on the two sides. They found it very difficult to find such a fitting location to get in move. Long Haochen didnt worry for their safety at all. Everyone having fought demons for so long together, obviously knew what to do. The Demon Resisting Mountain Range was the best ce possible to conceal themselves, relying on their spiritual stoves, equipment, and abilities. If the demons wanted to ambush them, things would be easier said than done. By retreating right after the moments of action, they wouldnt give the enemy any chance to surround them. Long Haochen also took advantage of the chance and closed the little gap behind. Swiftly summoning the four holy guards along, exining to them the situation before their eyes as well as his objective. Try your best to make the enemy conspicuous, while dying their advance. Among the four holy guards, the threest ranked all looked at the Ninth Holy Guard, who looked back at the other three holy guards, before looking at Long Haochen, Master, what level of importance shall we attach to the task of dying or killing these enemies? Long Haochen replied without hesitation, Very, very important. The Ninth Holy Guard nodded in response to him, before looking at the other three holy guards, saying in a heavy voice, Then please let me borrow your strengths. Then he looked at Long Haochen once again, Master, this time, after helping you settling this issue, we will need to lie dormant for over a month, to recover from the consumption of soul force. Long Haochen had a great surprise. Right when he wanted to inquire about that, the other three holy guards started speaking in a sort of specialnguage. Their movements were very organized. As soon as they started to surround the ninth holy guard, their bodies shivered violently, then the soulfire in their eyes pulsed intensely. With shock, Long Haochen saw creamy white color separate from their eyes and transfer into the Ninth Holy Guards body. The aura of the three holy guards weakened at an rming speed, but conversely, the body of the Ninth Holy Guard erged at a monstrous speed, almost taking a mere instant to break through from the peak of the seventh step to the eighth step, without stopping at all. This is After a short time of shock, Long Haochen realized that the three Great Holy Guards were transferring their soul force to the Ninth Holy Guard. And that wasnt an ordinary soul force, but the soul force in their very root. Otherwise, why would they weaken to such extent? _SwishC_ A red glow of light took the initiative to return in the Eternal Melody. That was the Twelfth Holy Guard. Long Haochen immediately lost sight of his existence. It appeared to be as he said, he went in profound sleep. The Eleventh Holy Guardsted only a little longer than the Twelfth, and then the Tenth followed. The whole transfer took them only ten seconds and no more. When the three Great Holy Guards all disappeared, look Haochen found to his shock that the Ninth Holy Guard had undergone a heaven splitting change. His body was the same size, but the orange soulfire pulsing in his eyes had acquired a faint golden gloss. Meanwhile, the milky white colored bones seemed to have gained a ming glow. Right after nodding to Long Haochen, his body soared, facing the direction of the mountain peak on the side. Disappearing in a blink of eye, he left Long Haochen only a message before that. That he would stall against these demons, and prevent them from covering the area between these two hills. Although he had no idea what the Ninth Holy Guard was nning, Long Haochen had absolute belief in these holy guards loyalty. Moreover, the Ninth Holy Guards action of drawing support from the other three holy guards soul force couldnt possibly be amon technique. In a sh of light, Long Haochen summoned Yating to his side. Meanwhile, the falling stones finished falling from the sky, and Sima Xian as well as Wang Yuanyuan already withdrew. After finding out about the disappearance of the danger, this army of demons was bound to continue advancing. To them, this was nothing more than having gotten caught by the Temple Alliance. But since they were already so deep inside the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, they couldnt retreat as if nothing happened. After all, even if these elites couldnt surprise the Exorcist Mountain Pass with their attack, the Alliance would definitely not be able to block their advance easily. . It was for this reason that Long Haochen wanted to dy them, and for that, he had to make these demons feel they are under threat. Only this way would he be able to force them into a defensive formation. After exchanging a few simple words with Yating, Long Haochen disappeared in a sh, appearing behind Yating. cing his hands on her back, he poured his extremely pure light elemental spiritual energy into her body. This was Brilliant World, an ability that not only Yating could use, but Long Haochen too. Long Haochen was a knight, not a mage, and although he was able to use light magic, most of them were support oriented. Even if these could be of use in battle, it would only be magic targeted at influencing himself, and couldnt be long ranged attacks. Otherwise, wouldnt knights just be strong in every era? But Yating wasnt the same. Being a light fairy, she was a light mage through and through. Her affinity to light far surpassed a human mages. And from therge amount of vitality she absorbed in the Illusory Paradise, plus her fusion with Long Haochens Saint Spiritual Stove, Yating already evolved close to the level of an advanced fairy. Her strength kept increasing along with Long Haochens cultivation, because she lived in Long Haochens spiritual cavities. And she could also be said to be half the reason for Long Haochens speed of cultivation. Just like Yating reached the seventh step of cultivation because of Long Haochens help, her ability of condensing light essence went into a whole new level. Slowly lifting her staff, she caused the surroundings to lit up. Resonant chants were let out from her mouth, like a carefree and rxed touching music. The fluctuations of Long Haochens and Yatings spiritual energies rapidly gained in intensity. His golden eyes also became more and more brilliant, the four wings on his back spreading out. At this time, he didnt have any more need to conceal himself. His spiritual wings and Yatings lightly pped, and in this state, their absorption speed of the light essence reached a colossal level. How could the gathering of an iparable amount of intense light essence not attract the attention of the demons? Almost immediately, the Carriers and the Envoys in the sky discovered the activity going on there. The Envoys let out sharp hisses as warning, and immediately, a group of twenty Grand Fiends led by a Fiend Commander of the eighth step came by flight in their direction. With a Fiend Commander of the eighth step asmander, the group of Grand Fiends of the fifth step was no weaker than the one Long Haochens group encountered in the Deste Hissing Cavern, and moreover, they had plenty of room to get reinforcement. The enemys actions were naturally perceived by Long Haochen, but he didnt show the slightest reaction. Remaining inattentive to the enemy, he poured his spiritual energy into Yatings body. Now, what he had to do was to do everything to support Yating inpleting this spell. The current Yating looked ethereal, like a bottomless pit, and even Long Haochen was totally unaware of what her fairynguage incantation was for. But he was certain that this was a spell Yating had never used before. As for its level of power, there was no way to know before Yatingpletes it. But his confidence toward the holy guards as well as her was absolute. . Long Haochens location was about two thousand meters away from the Fiend Army. Although this wasnt a very close distance, the flying Fiends didnt need much time to cover it. And furthermore, the Fiends werent the only one toe by flight. They were followed by a Demon Carrier, to restrict Long Haochen. After all, Long Haochen was at the ground level. Unlike Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian who had it really easy to escape atop the mountain, and only had to pierce through the rocks in their way while borrowing power from their spiritual wings to make themselves very hard to pursue. The Demon Carriers speed was also limited. Visibly, the enemy had already gotten quite close. Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, showing the qualities of a Temr Knight as well as the calm of a Demon Hunt Squad Captain. At this very moment, in Long Haochens senses the location of every single demon appeared very clearly. Even the way they were prepared to attack appeared very clear to him. While lifting up his two hands concentrating the power from Brilliant Body, a dense orange glow rushed forth before him, almost instantly covering Yating and him in its scope. That was the powerful Guard Knight defensive skill, Shield Wall. Despite being the same skill, the defense this time was not the same as the time Long Haochen used it for the first time in the Swamps of Gloom. The time they were there, he had to protect the whole team, but now, the only ones he had to defend were Yating and himself. The orange shield seemed to appear only on two sides, just like an immense shell, protecting the two of them. An orange luster came out from its center, and if one looked by afar, he would feel that the current Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon felt as if an orange color was iid within. The first attacks to reach werent the Fiends, but the Demon Carriers mucus. Bringing about a strong stench of green mucus inrge scale, which rapidly covered a thousand meters range. Chapter 459 - Surprise Attack (II)

Chapter 459: Surprise Attack (II)

But unfortunately, the Demon Carriers ability had found the wrong target. If Long Haochen was instead using his former Glorious Holy Shield, its powerful ability would immediately show weakness. But what kind of existence was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon? Even a powerhouse of the ninth step would have difficulty in piercing its defense. And in fact, as a gods chosen one, and a Temr Knight, Long Haochens most powerful abilities werent offense oriented but defense oriented. The green mucus descended, immediately encountering the soft rebound of the shield. Despite its viscosity, the area of ten meters surrounding Long Haochen and Yating didnt get covered in any of the mucus, all of which were repelled by Shield Wall. This was the first time Long Haochen brought out the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in real battle, and undoubtedly, the results were top notch. Right at this moment, under the lead of the Fiend Commander of the eighth step, the Fiend Team also arrived. The purity and the force of the light essence released from Yatings body shocked all the demons present, or rather birthed fear. This total umtion of spiritual energy produced terrible fluctuations that could burst at any time, making all the demons with least bit of intelligence to feel its threat. For this reason, a Fiend Commander of the eighth step was dispatched. After all, the Fiend King at the ninth step wouldnt go act personally. The Fiend Commander didnt have his brothersunch a probing attack first. His perception being the greatest, his sense of urgency was just as great. The dark red heavy sword in his hand drew arge curve, aiming straight at Long Haochens Shield Wall. Bang!?With a dark red light flowing all over the ce, terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy burst out, crushing all the vegetation in the surrounding hundred square meters, as the terrible darkness element energy even made it so that those Grand Fiends didnt dare get close. However, the Fiend Commanders attacks were futile. Inside the Shield Wall, Long Haochen was entirely covered in golden, and the spiritual energy released by Yating instead became even more fragrant, this being precisely the Bright Vengeance following Divine Obstruction. Thebination of Shield Wall with Divine Obstruction formed the mostplete defense for a Guardian Knight to protect hisrades and himself. Moreover, Long Haochen was using the Epic Tier Equipment Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Long Haochen was now already at the seventh step of cultivation, but when fighting head on, he had the strength to confront a powerhouse of the eighth step. Originally, the reason why the battle that he fought with AhBao was so disadvantageous was that his cultivation was really too inferior, thus why he suffered such a loss. At the time the Fiend Commanders attack shed against the shield, Long Haochen realized clearly that his fighting strength had been increased by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. An originally single point attack was spread all over the shield. That rebound of the shield kept repeating itself sixteen times. At every quiver, a massive dispel of attack power came. This way, the trembling that finally reached Long Haochens hand was negligible. In other words, even if Long Haochen hadnt used Divine Obstruction, the mere Shield Wall would have been enough to resist the attack from the Fiend Commander, something Long Haochen didnt even expect. Of course, it wasnt like the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon could be used by anybody to counteract opposing attacks. Wouldnt that simply be defying the natural order? First of all, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon had only appeared three times in history. Gaining its approval could only be done by a gods chosen one of light attribute. Secondly, a certain strength was also necessary for the gods chosen one who gained its approval. Long Haochen happened to be at the seventh step of cultivation, which was just enough to be qualified. And even so, he had yet to reach the level of strength to unleash its full might. In other words, the seventh step of strength was the bottom line. To another powerhouse of the seventh step with a shield at Epic Tier, blocking the attack of a powerhouse of the eighth step wouldnt be anything of a surprise. But one shouldnt forget that the attributes of the shield and Long Haochen concorded, making them even more likely to resist the attack. Since he acquired the shield, except from being unusable at certain times of the day, Long Haochen didnt find any issue regarding the shield. On the contrary, he kept finding it more and more formidable. Its size was malleable, going up to a limit of a hundred meters in length, from the size of a palm. The most remarkable aspect however was that even when erged to its limit, the decrease in defense wasnt significant, but when shrinking to the minimal size, its defense wasparable to a divine tool. The Fiend Commanders attack being parried, his body was repelled before falling to the ground. The shields repelling force wasnt so great, but it still astonished him, letting him feel the great defensive strength of the item. At this time, the Grand Fiends were already surrounding him, and without need for any order, they jointly attacked him from all directions. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon started to look like a lofty mountain, unyielding no matter which attack came. Of course, Long Haochens spiritual energy was still consumed to some extent against such series of attacks; but Epic Tier equipment nheless deserved their reputation. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon had only one ability, and that was defense. Its consumption of Long Haochens spiritual energy was especially negligible. If the situation remained this way, resisting the attacks of these Grand Fiends for several hours was no issue. The Fiend Commander snarled to the sky, directing his heavy sword at the direction of the sky. Letting out glints of red light, it reverberated with a loud sound. The red light rose up, and in the process, rapidly raged toward the opposite direction. This was a signal to the rest of the army, that the enemy they encountered was hard to handle. Immediately, the Fiend Commander started to wield his sword with two hands, letting a strong darkness attribute spread out from it. Then his underlings Grand Fiends gathered behind him, forming a row, one after another. This seemed like the Cojoined Spiritual Gathering ability prided by the Fiend n! In fact, it was originally by researching the crystals from the Fiend n that Lin Xin had created the Cojoined Spiritual Pills. Immediately, the strength of the Fiend Commander started increasing several-fold. Waves of darkness spiritual energy bubbled forth, and the darkness sword in his hands glowed in an increasingly intense light, gradually bing covered in dark mes, extending over thirty meters in range. A really terrible sight. Long Haochen was extremely calm. He understood clearly that even if this Fiend Commander had the cojoined boost from his underlings, his total cultivation wont possibly be boosted break through the ninth step from that. The ninth step is after all a massive bottleneck, that even Andromalius couldnt pass even through the means of something as majestic as a demon god pir. Therefore, his next attack would at most reach the boundary of the eighth step. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moonbined both Shield Wall and Divine Obstruction, giving Long Haochen the certainty of being able to block the next strike. During this entanglement, Long Haochen could clearly sense that Yatings spell was about to beplete. A dark red fire suddenly lit up, taking the shape of a gigantic edge of de, rushing over while producing thundering st sounds. Tearing up arge area of air, its terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy caused the ground under Long Haochen and Yating to sink. Rumble. A gigantic dark red de of light ferociously struck that orange colored shield, letting ce to a shocking scene. An orange and dark red ring spread out, and anguid dragon cry could be heard from the sky. All the Fiends behind the Fiend Commander instantly fell on the ground, from the massive shock that spread from his attack. The Fiend Commander was also blown seven steps back. His two hands holding his sword were also numb. No matter what, he was unable to imagine how it could be that his attack that reached the peak of the eighth step was still be unable to break through the opponents defense. And the next instant, he found out that brilliant fireworks were starting to soar. Series of golden light were surging, bringing about a dazzling and iparably thick light element in the air. Every bolt of golden light that ascended expanded at monstrous speed, to the extent that even as it gained altitude very quickly, it didnt seem any smaller. With a sh of golden light, Yating disappeared in Long Haochens chest, her spell having finished, without even the energy left to witness the results of her magic. The orange colored light vanished, as Long Haochen swept a cold nce at that Fiend Commander. pping the four wings on his back, his figure shed, immediately fleeing afar. The Fiend Commander obviously was unwilling to let go of him like that. With a hiss, he promptly chased after him using his enormous fiendish wings. Although Long Haochen had repelled the opponent with his previous attack, he wasnt any better off either. After all, that blow was at the peak of the eighth step. But still, thanks to the toughness of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon and its joint use with Divine Obstruction, Long Haochen didnt receive much damage. However, this consumed a good amount of his spiritual energy. The previous attack caused the remaining amount of Long Haochens spiritual energy to plummet abruptly. As the time he spent using it increased, Long Haochens understanding of the shield also went up. He also came to grasp the ability of this shield. Even if his spiritual energy was nearly exhausted at this point, the enemy could not inflict him the slightest bit of damage. However, the current situation meant he was clearly not fit to go handle that Fiend Commander. He still had to provide support to the Ninth Holy Guard, and dont forget that arge portion of his spiritual energy had already been consumed by Yatings spell. Choosing to face the enemy in such circumstances, when considering that their reinforcements werent present nearby, would simply be stupid. Chapter 460 - Surprise attack (III)

Chapter 460: Surprise attack (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Having a total of four wings made him only faster. Although his cultivation didnt match the enemy, Long Haochen was surprisingly not an easy prey for that Fiend Commander of the eighth step to catch up. In the field of flight, Long Haochen was a proud disciple of the Tenth Holy Guard. The use of special maneuvers, using some very difficult movements, enabled by sudden elerations was effective enough to outspeed the other party. On the other hand, the use of his four wings and his breathing enabled him to absorb some of the light essence disseminated in the air and recover spiritual energy. During the time the Fiend Commander chased after Long Haochen, Yatings spell started to show its might. Immense balls of light appeared one after another from the sky, heading straight for the core of the demons. Their aim was the group of Hell Demons. The suddenness of the spell, along with its power that reached the peak of the eighth step, both proved out their utilities. At the time it started to descend, even the Fiend Kingmanding the group looked shocked. Magic was not the same as other battle methods. It required chanting, be it for humans or demons. He never expected to be confronted so suddenly by a spell even Fiend Commanders of the eighth step couldnt do anything against, nor to be the aim of such a powerful spell. This time, the strength of a powerhouse of the ninth step was thoroughly disyed. Although the Fiend King was aware of the fact that if the Hell Demons worked together, resisting this spell would be no issue, he didnt want to take risks. In case these meteors of light reached their ranks, the damage would be catastrophic. So he immediately intervened, nning to intercept the powerful spell himself. Although the meteors of light had a restricted range, its was not limited by direction. This was a strengthened version of the spell Light Meteor used by Yating before, or rather an area-restricted version. All nine meteors were singrly smaller than the original Light Meteor, but added up together, their explosive force was a lot greater, and their area of effect became massive. With the support from Long Haochens spiritual energy, Yating used this offensive light spell with huge area effect exceeding her own rank. The Fiend King rushed there. The instant his body started to make its way, it lit up in a dark golden light, and the massive wings on his back spread out, pped violently. Immediately, a huge dark golden sword appeared in his hands. This huge sword was glinting with an orange luster, unexpectedly showing its identity of darkness elemental Epic Tier equipment. Among demons, this kind of equipment would not even be necessarily be avable to demon gods! From this, the status of this Fiend King could be deduced. The dark golden glint shed in the air like a ray of light, and despite the massive build of the Fiend King, his movement was instantaneous, not restricted by his volume. Immediately, the first meteor falling down came to a stop, abruptly blowing up, sshing in all direction like a rain of light. But this was merely the beginning. The demons behind him only saw a figure full of awe, suddenly moving from one point to another in the air, totally unhindered. Each move of his produced a flicker of light, causing a golden meteor toe to a stop and explode. Although the air was still filled with an intense breath of light, the light essence didnte into contact with any of the demons below. At the time the Fiend King shed onto thest golden meteor, the whole sky was glinting in gold colour. Golden Meteors Formation was a genuine Great Spell, aimed at arge area. Even though the Fiend King, in his capacity as powerhouse of the ninth step, managed to block itpletely, he had to gasp for breath in pain after the skirmish. And in his face, none of the delight he should have from breaking this spell could be seen. On the contrary, this Fiend King looked extremely gloomy, as ck as an old fry pan. Thats because he came to realize that he had overlooked something. Indeed, the Golden Meteors Formation was broken, none of it having reached their aim. But from the sessive explosions from the meteors, each of them carrying a huge amount of light essence, how could the fluctuations disseminated not be extremely intense? Light Meteor wasnt so simple as a spell carrying Yatings power. It absorbed arge amount of light essence from the area, before letting it burst in the form ofto a tyrannical attack. It borrowed power from the might of heavens! A spell of this level would normally be likely to fail from the frantic umtion of light energy, to say nothing about a situation where it was fired in such a short span. In other words, even if the Fiend King caused the meteors to explode, they were still not neutralized . A strong light essence surged in the sky, fluctuating, descending in magnificent shapes of microscopic specks of lights. This was an extremely destructive sea of specks of light. Of course, the Fiend King of the ninth step didnt feel any danger, but some weaker demons certainly felt the threat. At the time the storm of light essence appeared, the demons in the sky were few, but mainlyposed of two groups, Demon Carriers and Demon Envoys. At the beginning, when Long Haochen and Yating were discussing this spell, they didnt actually expect it to bring much damage to the demons. His main n was to dy the demons from crossing the mountain. With his understanding and trust in Ninth Holy Guard, he believed that he would definitely show an even more earth shaking disy than Yating afterwards, inevitably resulting in stalling for a great amount of time. Therefore, he thought of Yatings spell as a way to annihte as many as possible of their support forcesposed of the Demon Envoys and Demon Carriers. How could this be aplished? That was the role of the Golden Meteors Formation. If Long Haochen was the Fiend King in charge of the group, what would he do? It was after putting himself in his shoes that this n came to him. As a matter of fact, it turned out to be sessful. The Fiend King really intercepted the Light Meteors, to prevent the Hell Demons below from suffering damage. But he lost in the process two thirds of the Demon Envoys and Demon Carriers. In such a chaos formed from light essence, even the surviving Demon Envoys were mostly greatly wounded. And this was for the luckiest of them, who were in the periphery of the area. Propelled by the four wings on his back, Long Haochen made a turn, suddenly heading upwards, before sweeping across the Fiend Commander at his back. Immediately, his body flickered four times in a row, changing direction in midair every time, rendering the attacks of the Fiend Commander at his tracks unsessful. The next instant, the wings on his left side suddenly vanished, and both wings on his right side pped with great force. It was as if Long Haochens body went out of control, spinning round and round in the air. In the meantime as he spinned, Aria of the Goddess of Light appeared in his hand, sweeping horizontally to stab at the Fiend Commander. Dont attach too much importance to the difference of strength between the two sides. In fact the Fiend Commander didnt have any means to catch up to Long Haochen. In the aspect of flying ability, he wascking by a milepared to Long Haochen. In speed of straight flight, Long Haochens four wings didnt make him any inferior. And that was to say nothing of the fact Long Haochen had his numerous flying techniques. At the current time, the Fiend Commander following Long Haochen was already at theteral side of one of the two mountains they were circling around, increasing their distance from the demon army. Of course, Long Haochen had been keeping tabs to the changes of the army located there. In case the demons sent powerful reinforcement against him, he would immediately prepare to return through the Tower of Eternity. However, they were obviously more preupied by the previous fall of meteors. The good news was that at least that for a moment, no reinforcement woulde after him. As for these Grand Fiends, they were far from having caught up with Long Haochen and the Fiend Commander yet. Seeing the sudden attack from Long Haochen, who had been fleeing all this time, the Fiend Commander unconsciously used the heavy sword in his hand to parry Long Haochens horizontal blow. With a tingling sound, Long Haochen changed trajectory once again in midair. From his previous spinning state, he actually borrowed force from thest block of the Fiend Commander, making his body stagnate in midair. Then a golden and a blue glow shone, resounding with a dragon cry was aimed straight at the Fiend Commander. That was one of the supreme skills Long Haochen was most proficient in, the Dual Dragons of Light and Rain, powerful offensive techniquebining both offense and control in one. Long Haochens counterattack was very sudden, at least fast enough to catch the Fiend Commander unprepared. But the Fiend Commander still deserved this title; after the first sh against the Aria of the Goddess of Light, his body came to a stop, and the heavy sword in his hand drew a circr trajectory. Apanied with ear-splitting sounds, the sky was lit in bloody light, shing head-on against Long Haochens Dual Dragon Binding of Light and Rain. If Caier had retained her memories and was present, shed definitely identify that this Fiend Commander of the eighth step Long Haochen was confronted to was even more powerful than the one she killed before. The might of this Fiends Bloody Moon was enormous. The instant the two techniques shed, the dragon cry from Dual Dragons of Light and Rain faded away, but that bloody moon was also crushed. Both Long Haochen and the Fiend Commander were astonished, because they were both confident in their techniques. The difference between the two was that Long Haochen had a backup n. In the short instant following theunch of Dual Dragons of Light and Rain, Long Haochen who was in a standstill entered into the boundary of the swords transparent heart. In his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light shifted and aimed a chop at the sky. From the significant time they spent flying, a great part of his spiritual energy was back. In particr, from the burst of Dual Dragons of Light and Rain burst, the light essence in the air increased. This was naturally a good opportunity Long Haochen wouldnt let go of. And that source of the spell being the spiritual energies of both Yating and him, the absorption was a lot faster for him. So his current spiritual energy was already half back. This was a disy of the dominance of a gods chosen one. With the fact he took a few Great Spiritual Recovery Pills in addition, Long Haochen had recovered the ability to fight. After all, not many of his abilities needed him to have over ten thousand units of spiritual energy avable forunch. Chapter 461 - Forbidden Earth Spell? (I)

Chapter 461: Forbidden Earth Spell? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochens hollow strike was extremely inconvenient for the Fiend Commander who was in the midst of his offense. His sword that was in an offensive flow was forcibly retracted in midair. He did so because he realized that if he kept his attack going, Long Haochens divine sword would undoubtedly strike him first. Therefore, he could only change ns. This was the use of the swords transparent heart. The next instant, Long Haochen could be viewed as a part of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, observing the enemy from the point of view of the sword. The reason for hisst strike to be so aggressive was not because he predicted the enemys next move, but because hepletely saw through his swords intent. This attack looked as light as a feather, but was something that opponent had to block no matter what, since it was in the way of his only escape route. This was how he gained the upper hand in a mere instant. Back then, even AhBao whose strength was far above this Fiend Commander suffered a huge loss against Long Haochens unified sword intent. And that was against the old Long Haochen, the current him being even more proficient in his understanding regarding sword intent. After that, Long Haochen executed a series of seven sword strikes, each one carrying the same hollow feeling, while being filled with boundless spiritual energy. These seven sword strikes forced the Fiend Commander to draw back seven times. When he stumbled from thest attack, a mouthful of ck blood spilled from his mouth. Just think, for a powerhouse of the eighth step who had to resist seven attacks in a row, leaving him with no choice but to draw power from his inner reserves, what would be the bacsh inflicted? In fact, Long Haochen could be said to have made use of his technique in the sword to havepelled the Fiend Commander into wounding himself. And at this moment, the Fiend Commander finally realized the extent of Long Haochens strength. This human who looked like someone who had at most reached the seventh step of cultivation was a threat to his life. Thus, he even considered retreat. That was a high level demon, not one that would be fearless before death such as Dual ded Demons or Berserk Demons. Unfortunately, Long Haochen wouldnt let him go. After the seven sword strikes in session, he not only forced the enemy to draw back without pause, and caused him to wound himself in the process, but also caused his own vigor to grow to its peak. Now, one could clearly see that Long Haochens whole body was glinting with a white glint. The ability Holy Sword was originally could only be used on ones weapon, but at this moment, Long Haochen made use of hisprehension toward sword intent and control over the light element as a gods chosen one, to turn his whole body into the Holy Sword state. At the same time, his right hand and right arm were glinting in iparable transparence, precisely from Brilliant Body. In simple words, those seven strikes from before were simply a way for him to charge energy. After this sequence, sting the Fiend Commander away, wounded, Long Haochen came to a slight pause, not to recover his strength, but quite the opposite, because his bearing was close to its peak, and that now was the time to get the opponent locked. His both hands grasping the handle of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, at the time Long Haochens divine sword was once again raised up, the Fiend Commander suddenly felt as if the sun was about to pass through his body. A sharp sword intent was locked onto himpletely, to the extent that he didnt even dare consider escaping anymore. Even a strong existence such as the Fiend Commander of the eighth step felt his mind going somewhat nk at this time, because he was unable to make head or tail of what to do in this situation, or how to reply to the strike before his eyes. However, he had like every living being a survival instinct. When sensing that his life was insignificant in front of the enemy, this Fiend Commander of the eighth step came to a prompt decision. Abruptly biting his tongue, and forcefully cutting off its upper part, he spouted a mouthful of blood, lit up in a scarlet color. This was the Demonic Copse Technique only possessed by high ranked demons, that Long Haochen had encountered once against the Snake Devil Demon God Andromalius. Merely, this Demonic Copse Technique felt different from the version used by the Snake Devil Demon God Andromalius. Andromalius used the demon god ss version, conferring a great boost, while making the side effects slightly smaller. But after this Fiend Commander would be done using the Demonic Copse Technique, even if he didnt die from that, his cultivation would at least be forcibly dropped to the sixth step. Of course,pared to death, the cost of a loss of cultivation wasnt much. The light fluctuations from this side attracted the attention of the demon army at the other side, resulting in the Fiend King giving the order to head there, at his best prudent state. That was because he didnt know how many enemies there were. Ever since seeing the previous crowd spell of the eighth step, he came to believe the human force that came to intercept them was considerably strong. As themander of this elite army, he didnt dare be careless. At this time, dark purple glints of light kept bubbling up from the five hundred Hell Demons. They were chanting at rapid speed, and in each of their hands were purplish red crystals, acting as their staves. The dark purple glints took the shape of an immense barrier, covering the whole demon army inside. This was their best defensive formation. With five hundred Hell Demons acting jointly in defense, even a powerhouse of the ninth step wouldnt possibly be able to break it without an especially powerful weapon. Now that the Fiend King sensed powerful fluctuations of light essenceing from the other side of the mountain, he couldnt care about the life or death of his underlings on that side,pared to the defense of the whole army. A bloody red light shone on his chest, before scarlet bloody fog spread out from his body, covering the whole army. This was element control was close to the level of the domain of a ninth step user. From the other mountain, the iparably sharp sword intent could already be sensed, causing the Fiend King to feel a chill. It was no wonder that his estimation was so high, since sword intent didnt have a direct conversion into grade. Through the sword intent spread out from the Aria of the Goddess of Light, Long Haochen reached a level ofprehension extremely close to the divine sword wielder Ye Wushang from past. How could this level be no threat for the Fiend King? Theres no way he could have expected the team he brought in the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass to be in trouble so quickly. At this moment, even without these human powerhouses here to block them, because of the loss of the Demon Envoys, they would very rapidly get exposed. At this p?int, the Fiend King already started to consider retreat. It wasnt for theck of courage, but because demons couldnt afford losing so much of their elites. Among this demon army, powerhouses of the eighth step numbered at least three hundred. In fact, aside from the top five ns, no force among the demons could possibly assemble such an army. If the losses kept growing, the rage of the Death Demon God Saminaga would surely be awaiting him. Perhaps he would be directly punished by the Demon God Emperor. A sparkling and translucent white light formed a light de in the air, leaving a trail of mes in the air. This light appeared in a sh, before vanishingpletely. In the air, Long Haochens figure dazzled, before the Aria of the Goddess of Light returned in his body. His current face was extremely pale, clearly a result of massive consumption of spiritual energy. And in truth, his spiritual energy was barely enough to keep him floating. But his opponent was clearly a lot worse off. Although the Fiend Commander managed to keep himself floating, one could clearly see that on his face was a dead persons expression. Letting out a trail of blood from his head to his toes, his whole body was totally split by Long Haochens previous strike. This was strength, absolute strength. His sword intentbined with the Aria of the Goddess of Light caused Long Haochens imposing manner to transcend its peak. Without sufficiently good equipment, even a powerhouse of the eighth step would hardly be able to resist him. And the most fearful thing was Long Haochens battle experience. Before, he made himself seem weak and escaped so brazenly to attract the enemy into pursuing him. And from his counteroffensive to the death of the Fiend Commander, only a few breaths of time had passed. The whole battle was within his grasp, and he didnt give the Fiend Commander the slightest opportunity to disy his real strength. Long Haochen was certainly very young, but his experience was a lot richer than other people of his age. Just how many times did he risk his life in battle? How many desperate crises did he ovee up to now? Each of these experience became a part of his strength, transforming him. In merely a few years, he could already bepared with many of his precursors in terms of attitude and battle experience, and this was without mentioning all the powerful skills he acquired from the Holy Guards in the Tower of Eternity. pping his wings with difficulty, he took advantage of the instant before the death of the Fiend Commander to absorb him in the Eternal Melody. Then Long Haochen changed his stance, facing the mountain peaks. From what he remembered, the Ninth Holy Guard flew over from there just before. But why was it that no fluctuation of spiritual energy could be sensed from there up to now? Having borrowed strength from the souls of the other three holy guards, the Ninth Holy Guards magic could be said to have reached the peak of the eighth step already. While watching attentively the mountain in front of his eyes, Long Haochen rapidly returned to the ground, taking a new Great Recovery Pill, recovering his spiritual energy rapidly . In the meantime, he changed into a ck gown, taking advantage of the night to conceal his figure. At least up to now, the n had been going smoothly! Now, all depended on how the Ninth Holy Guard would fare. Ninth, you have to be faster, otherwise, we wont be able to intimidate these demons. Thats just the way it is! Demons arent fools either; and after this short moment of caution, they would soon notice no further movement from the other side, as well as the disappearance of the fluctuation of light elemental spiritual energy, it would the same as if they were back in the original situation.

Chapter 462: Forbidden Earth Spell? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales However, this deathly stillness increased the sense of fright engraved in the demons. After all, after crossing the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass, they will be in human territory, where they have no way to predict what they will encounter. They had originally thought they had concealed themselves pretty well, and didnt expect the enemies to find out about them so rapidly. This feeling of being under attack was really hard to bear. They would prefer to confront the armies of the Temple Alliance head on, rather than being confronted to some unknown enemies watching over them and that could attack at anytime. The Fiend King was very calm, showing his worth as a goodmander for this army. This was a role that only strength wouldnt suffice to bear, especially knowing that on the demon side, powerhouses of the ninth step are definitely not few. This Fiend King didnt show signs of his anger, only calmly observing the surroundings, keeping the rest of the group in his sight. He was themander of these troops, their brain. In fact, in cases ofrge scale battle, his presence would affect the efficiency of the team by at least three times . At least the time to pour out a small cup of tea passed, while no signs of movement urred except for the sudden arrival of the previous ambush. An ice-cold chill hit the face of the Fiend King, who finally guessed what they were up to. Although he wasnt certain that those who attacked them were a Demon Hunt Squad, scouts with such individual strength were definitely not numerous. And the people from the other side were definitely a small number, trying to stall for time, for the Exorcist Mountain Pass and the Demon Resisting Mountain Range to prepare to some extent. Stop defending, and march forward at full speed. The Fiend King gave this next order with conviction. Then the remaining scouts also returned, bringing news that norge group of humans was found. Without the cloaking ability of the Demon Envoys, they had no more obligation to keep advancing slowly. The wisest remaining choice would be for them to pass through the mountain at the fastest speed possible. As long as his group manages to inflict a serious blow to Temple Alliance by annihting Exorcist City, the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass would be unable to stop the advance of the rest of the demon army. The purplish ck radiance serving as magical defense was slowly revoked, for the sake of preserving spiritual energy. But the Hell Demons and the nearby Demonic Bears once again showed their amazing coordination. After terminating the spell, each of the Hell Demons went straight on the shoulder of a Demonic Bear, letting them proceed forward to easily pass through the ravine in the depths of the mountain range. Right at this time, the Fiend King suddenly had a bad premonition. This was his natural instinct, which grew with his increase in rank. This was unrted to ones race, nor to ones strength. Despite not sensing any fluctuation of spiritual energy, this was the first time for him to sense such a fatal danger. Abruptly, he howled, Stop there and focus all of your energies towards defending! At the same time his shout came out, the scene changed entirely. The demon powerhouses who all heard this order from theirmander couldnt help but be puzzled. But before they could react, a massive oppressive force appeared in front of them. Just like a tall mountain wrapping their thoughts, it appeared to push them down under its control. They were all standing on the side of a mountain, which unexpectedly slowly shifted to their direction without any omen. Because that shift started slowly, they didnt realize that phenomenon until arge amount of crushed rock finally started to present a terrible threat, when falling towards their direction. Dawn was still nearing, but the sky remained just as dark. Under the pitch-ck curtain of the night, an even darkerrge mountain peak fell at startling speed,ing with irresistible force despite its slow speed. And this whole process only took a few minutes. If their few powerhouses were to put their whole energy into fleeing they would certainly be able to escape this. But this was an army, and not a small Demon Hunter Remover Squad. The soldiers numbered five thousand, and arge mountain peak over two kilometers long was pressuring them down. This was even more frightful than some existing forbidden spells of ninth step. The expressionless face of the Fiend King immediately became pale. He never expected these humans to employ such means. They had actually toppled over a mountain, turning it into a terrifying weapon. No matter what degree his strength reached, he couldnt possibly withstand a whole mountain! Among all demonkind, the only one who could aplish that was perhaps the Demon God Emperor. Therefore, he could only give the order to retreat, sparing no cost to step back from this hurdle. The Berserk Demons standing in the front fled at frantic speed, heading back, followed by the Grand Fiends that also showed no hesitation to use their wings to escape the danger zone. But what about the Demonic Bears and Hell Demons in the middle of the formation? Hell Demons could perhaps rely on magic boost to gain some speed, but the Demonic Bears, demons with ultra powerful defenses, clearlycked speed. Without need to even precise that their two sides were filled with other friendly forces, they couldnt possibly withdraw rapidly. The mountain falling from the sky would not wait for them, and kept falling down regardless of their reaction! At the time its massive body fell, the Fiend King of the ninth step who relied on his superior spiritual energy to bring a few dozens Demonic Bear outside. That loud explosion nearly shook the whole Demon Resisting Mountain. Without regard to their demon race, all the demons in the range of the terrible seismic waves were sent flying. Under the raging seismic waves, although they were all elites of the demons, such terrible seismic waves were in no way easy to bear for them. Only the Grand Fiends, gifted with the ability of flight, were better off. But they were only better off for a short instant. The toppling of a mountain peak, how frightful was that? The violent explosioning along, with the massive weight, causedndslides in the seven surroundings mountains. Who knows how many stones of over three meters diameters fell as a result, as if this was the reaction of the god of the mountain, frantically smashing these debris over the demon army. At the time of the mountains crumble, a golden glint was soaring in the sky, floating in midair helped by the four wings on his back. On the toppled mountain underneath, a yellow flow of light surged, shing back to its chest, and its aura disappeared instantly. This was a genuinendslide! This was the first time for Long Haochen to see such a awe-inspiring scene. Although his trust in the capabilities of the Ninth Holy Guard was high, he wasnt quite expecting that he would be given such a pleasant surprise. He actually made a whole mountain fall? To the demons, this was no less than a fatal blow. While evading the huge rocks in the air, Long Haochens face was brimming with an uncontroble smile. No matter how steady he is as a person, not showing excitement in such a time was inconceivable. At least two thirds of the Demonic Bears and Hell Demons were crushed under the rocks, and even those who could escape this fate by a fluke would simply be subject to the most terrible and direct impact from the seismic waves. The loud explosion even propelled the distant Long Haochen away, to say nothing about those bearing the impact at close range. The demon elites from this army ought to be all crippled. Haha Long Haochenughed heartily, before suddenlying to a stop. With a sh of golden light, his figure then disappeared in the sky, heading for the Tower of Eternity. Almost at the same instant as he disappeared, a dark golden glint shed through, the next instant the loathing and enraged Fiend King appeared. A human? Could this human havee alone? No, this cant be! The damage that urred just now was catastrophic in the eyes of this Fiend King. His troops were simply sent to death before the main assault even started. The damage caused by that great mountain to his army was simply indescribable. Of such a massive mountain peak, although half was sent straight in the ravine, the remaining amount actually propelled to its sides. If it was him alone, perhaps he could drill a cave in the mountain using his domineering spiritual energy, but only he was at the ninth step. That wasnt the case for his subordinates. Ever since this army was set up, it was under his control. All the powerhouses forming it were selected very carefully, and went through a strict training. The only one in control of them was the Demon God Emperor, but at the time he integrated it, he wasnt a mere Fiend King anymore, instead bing the second legion corps chief subordinated to the Demon God Emperor. But these absolute elitesmanded by him were inflicted fatal losses without even spotting the slightest human force. This was beyond a mere disgrace. This was an iparable failure. The guilt from such a loss was simply unbearable! _Who was that enemy in the end? How did he disappear without a trace? What kind of ability could that be? His fluctuations of spiritual energy were visibly weak. Could he have made use of a forbidden spell scroll? But hes a light element user! To cause the copse of such arge mountain, at least a magic scroll of the earth element at the ninth step would be needed._ At the time Long Haochen disappeared, he clearly had a burning hot sensation over his chest. This signified the absorption of powerful souls into the Tower of Eternity through the Eternal Melody. And they were naturally from the army of demons After appearing without any trace in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, he couldnt refrain from bursting out in loudughter. No matter how strong you Fiend King are, and how valiant your elite army is, lets see how you will keepunching your attack on humans. Chapter 463 - Forbidden Earth Spell (III)

Chapter 463: Forbidden Earth Spell (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Ninth Holy Guard, just how did you do that? Its simply mad, exceeding my imagination. Long Haochen unconsciously pat the golden skull on his chest, remembering the odd expression on the face of the Ninth Holy Guard at the time of their separation. His souls fluctuation seemed to carry some cruelty, malevolence and excitement. Very clearly, the Ninth Holy Guard had already decided on this n at that time. To have been able to cause the fall of a whole mountain, even by borrowing the forces of the other three holy guards, it remained a fearful feat, definitely able to match a forbidden spell level magic. _Right, a forbidden spell. If I am asked by the side of the Alliance, I can perhaps only exin that by the use of an earth elemental forbidden scroll._ In truth, even if this spell used by the Ninth Holy Guard was powerful, it had yet to reach the strength of a forbidden spell, or could only be said to reach the edge of this boundary. If this was a real forbidden earth element spell, the result would definitely not be the fall of a single mountain. A real forbidden spell would cause the whole mountain to shatter instantly, turning into a rain of meteors smashing the enemies. But dont believe that all powerhouses of the ninth step are able to use forbidden spells. Even some exceeding two hundred thousand units of spiritual energy would not necessarily have the ability to execute a forbidden spell. Making full use of a forbidden spell required a great elemental affinity, and the incantation has to bepleted from beginning to end for sess. Forbidden spells contain a great deal of uncertainty, and a forbidden spell wont necessarily be extremely powerful. Only when used in a suited situation could it show devastating results. Demons are after all outsiders that donte from this world. So the demon forbidden spells were almost all created over the past six thousand years. Their number arent few, and all had very harsh prerequisites for activation. Only a demon god in the top ten could be certain of being able to put a forbidden spell to use. And this would be hard to guarantee for the lower ranked demon gods. In fact, this depends on the level of understanding and other aspects of the user himself. Although the Ninth Holy Guard caused the fall of a mountain, the spell he used consumed a lot less spiritual energy than a forbidden spell would normally cost. Otherwise, how could he havepleted it? But even so, this spell was sufficient to prove the gap between the other three holy guards and him. Until the Ninth Holy Guardpleted this spell, Long Haochen had yet to understand the reason for the huge respect the other three held for him. What the Ninth Holy Guard just put in use was abination spell, associating several spells of his element. The whole process was actually not soplex, but as one might well imagine, aplishing that would not only require massive spiritual energy, and to rely on a mountain as base. This needed extremely meticulous calction, control, rhythm , and to go through all sort ofplex process to find the core material points. If this mountain peak was just a bitrger, the Ninth Holy Guard would be unable toplete this spell. This proved that luck stood at the human side. Relying on his powerful abilities of the earth element, the Ninth Holy Guard directly drilled into the mountains body, before destroying it from the inside. Of course, the point wasnt to destroy the whole mountain, but to cause it to lean toward the side of the demon army before wrecking it. And during this time, the demons were still distracted and confused by the spell Yating activated. , The first spell used by the Ninth Holy Guard was called Fossil Softening. It uses arge amount of rock, transferringrge amount of earth essence inside, to soften it, creating gaps inside of the mountain body, before erging these gaps. When the gaps reached a certain level, he put all his power into the Gravity Technique, executing the forbidden spell Mountain Flooding on this mountain range. To say nothing of the terrible might of this spell, the mere creativity to create such a spell surpassed the level reached by the mages of this age by a vast distance. Of course, the current Ninth Holy Guard had to pay an enormous cost in the process, requiring him to go into a long period of deep slumber with his other holy guard mates. Nevertheless, they were not very needed by Long Haochen for the time being. After returning to the Temple Alliance, he wouldnt lightly summon them to make use of their help. After all, they have in the end their own status as creatures born from necromancy, which would easily give birth to some unnecessary misunderstandings. Still, what a shame. After this short time of excitement, Long Haochen couldnt help but beat his own left palm with his right fist. Indeed, if the Temple Alliance had a troop of elites lying in wait nearby, after the sudden attack from Mountain Flooding, perhaps all demon would reach the end of their fate in this Demon Resisting Mountain Rage. Hisrades still being in the mountain range, Long Haochen didnt dare tarry over these matters any longer. Sitting on a proper cross-legged posture, he rapidly recovered his spiritual energy. With his level of cultivation, his three spiritual cavities and his qualitative advantage as a gods chosen one, the whole process of recovery took him only a quarter of an hour. Having just absorbed so many valiant souls, the Tower of Eternity wasnt stingy at all to its new master. The concentration of light essence here was at least ten times stronger than outside. With a glint of golden light, Long Haochen returned to the Demon Resisting Mountain Range. He restricted the light emanating from him as much as possible, as the instant he appeared, his figure made its way into the needle leaves forest underneath. This was a ce he had arranged before departing. The chaos at this ce was not abated. Even from there, Long Haochen was able to hear the distant yells. Mountain Floodings might thoroughly stopped the demons there. There were trying their utmost to help the dying and heal the injured. After all, the terrifying force of such a cmity was close to a natural disaster, where the wounded were far more numerous than the dead. Visibly, they would be stuck here for close to a quarter of an hour. Long Haochen didnt attempt to step closer. He understood clearly that this time, the demons were not only weakened, but also very sensitive. The Fiend King of the ninth step could only be eager to encounter him. Letting his senses raise to their peak, Long Haochen silently focused his attention on the movements of the other side, letting a smile gradually draw on his face. The damage inflicted to the demons turned out to be even more severe than his expectations. Although he didnt get to examine the details closely, he was able to sense that arge amount of demons were lying on the ground. The best news were that at the time the mountain fall urred, the ones who suffered thergest loss were the Demonic Bears and Hell Demons, the most powerful part of their fighting strength. In particr, the five hundred Hell Demons, could be considered to be five hundred Magic Leaders or Great Magic Leaders in the battlefield. But now, not a lot f them were left alive. Even those who werent smashed to death were mostly shaken to death. Not stopping over for any longer, Long Haochen decided to do the best he could. Although the enemies were seriously wounded, they werent something their Demon Hunt Squad could contend against. The goal having been reached, he naturally chose to regroup with the others. The Fiend King Safen was at this time coughing blood. He took the initiative to dig into the mountain to try to save as many of his subordinates as possible. Relying on his strength of the ninth step, all his interventions would reduce the rocks in an area of dozens square meters, and stop the waves from spreading in this area. But right in front of his eyes, none of the crushed corpses were recognizable, simply reduced to mincemeat. The rtively lightly wounded gathered with the group of Berserk Demons that managed to make it alive. The soldiers in good condition they had only amounted a third of the whole army. And at least a thousand of powerful demon soldiers were deceased in the previous event. No matter what, this loss was unbearable in Safens eyes. His rage was uncontroble. RAAH Safen bellowed loudly at the sky, madly crushing the rock in his way with his fist, and covering the surrounding hills with holes. Dont ever let me know who you are! The Fiend King Safen roared madly at the sky, remembering about the golden figure that disappeared just before. Four wings, he had four wings! Order everyone to bring the wounded and retreat! The surprise attack having failed, ending with disastrous losses, the demon soldiers under hismand were mostly injured. He had no other choice left than withdrawing. The Temple Alliance was very possibly already aware of the situation here, so if they stayed any longer, they would perhaps be unable to leave afterwards. Filled with overflowing rancor, the Fiend King, chief of the second legion corps Safen rapidly evacuated his subordinates. Boss, what magic spell did you just use? When Long Haochen and hisrades joined force on the hilltop, he was almost instantly surrounded by the others. Although this ce was quite distant from thend of destruction, the terrible explosions spread towards the whole Demon Resisting Mountain Range. The terrible noise was naturally heard by them as well. Long Haochen told them the whole story, astonishing the whole audience. The Ninth Holy Guard actually had such power? Could he have unleashed a forbidden spell? Lin Xin sounded full of admiration. To a mage like him, the feat of having stopped such a powerful army was really shocking. Long Haochen shook his head, I am certain that this wasnt a forbidden spell. It should be the good use of his magic abilities in perfect association with the terrain. Still, you have to learn from the holy guards. Be it in terms of experience or strength, they are far above us. We have still a lot more to learn from them. Wang Yuanyuan asked, Captain, since they were beaten to such extent, do you think they would continue this assault? Long Haochen shook his head, On my way back, I sensed that they were retreating. After all, their objective has been exposed and they suffered such damage. As long as theirmander is not retarded, he would certainly not insist on this attack. The Demon Resisting Mountain Range iscking of nothing besides mountain. If the same thing happens to them again, wouldnt they go mad? But this is good too. If the demon armies think about sneaking into the Demon Resisting Mountain Range again, Im afraid that they would have some lingering fears from this experience. Who could expect the sudden copse of a mountain? Everyone smiled in agreement. Such results were simply grandiose. At the time the demon armies finally left from the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, the day was already up. Fate seemed to have taken the side of humans, as far as the demons were concerned, they suffered was a crushing defeat. Chapter 464 - The Holy War triggered by Long Haochen?

Chapter 464: The Holy War triggered by Long Haochen?

Trantor: GravityTales After following with their eyes the departure of the army, Long Haochens group resumed their journey, proceeding towards thend of the catastrophe. With the death of so many demon powerhouses , it would be good if they managed to get some demon crystals. Cutting their way into the mountain wasnt something only the demons were capable of. Hearing a story was something, but encountering it was another. At the time Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, Caier and Chen Yinger arrived, they couldnt help but be totally shocked. Deep inside, they came to imagine what kind of scene they would be subject to if they were present at the instant the mountain crumbled. Boss, what should we do? Sima Xian asked Long Haochen. Long Haochen replied, We shall dig out. Lets see how many magical crystals we can find. No matter what kind of demon they belong to, these demon crystals are all treasures. It will be given for Lin Xins pill concoction. Good, good. Lin Xin immediately reacted with a smile. This demon operation had pleased this god of fortune of their team enormously. Bringing back all these good things, they were certain to fetch good price in the market or be of some utility to them. Chen Yinger had collected over three hundred crystals which were of the sixth step at least, enough for McDull to be extravagant. The corpses of many demons and magical beast, especially Forest Boas and the Devil Snake God Andromalius were collected by Lin Xin. He had the deep impression that after all this, his skills in alchemy were bound to improve tremendously. Bing a great master was only a matter of time to him. After all, where could there be another alchemist with as many materials avable to be used as grantly as him. Long Haochen naturally had his own objectives in the act of clearing the battlefield here. With such amotion, Temple Alliance couldnt possibly remain ignorant. And furthermore, Han Yus news ought to have already arrived. Surely before long, some army troops woulde to their rescue. After meeting with these troops, telling them the real story would be more effective thaning up with an unbelievable report. Besides, not collecting this many corpses and crystals of higher ranked demons would be a waste. These were precious spoils of war! The glory of opening the way through the mountain was naturally left to Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan. Even without additional ability, the terrifying weight and crushing power of the Energetic Ball of Light made it the most ideal candidate for this task. The group figured the path the Fiend King Safen took, and followed it by blowing their way up. One magical crystal after another reached Lin Xins hands, but this guy seemed dissatisfied. Thats because, the corpses of these demons were too mangled, and hard to make use of. After all, extremely severely damaged corpses would be hard to conserve, even with a spiritual transporting tool. The work of cutting their way into the mountain didnt took too long before the reinforcements arrived. Under Han Yus lead, the group of elites arrived with shocked expressions at the sight of Long Haochens group. These elite troops were far less than their expectations, only totalling about three hundred. But when their distance was of two hundred meters, Long Haochen felt their presence, through sensing Han Yus aura. Wearing veils, assassins d in grey color appeared to view, very rapidly encircling Long Haochens group. These assassins didnt let out any aura, and couldnt be sensed at all. Long Haochens group slowly left the cave, moving slowly. This wasnt deliberate, as they had no choice but to walk slowly, because although these assassins seemedposed, it felt that as long as they made any sudden movements, these three hundred assassins, would swallow them like a deadly torrent. Boss. Seeing Long Haochens groupe out from the cave, Han Yu immediately called out to him in excitement. He also didnt understand what happened. How could a mountain fall on its side? And why would Long Haochens group be present here? And where were the enemies gone? His mind was full of questions. Han Yu looked quite tired. Having travelled day and night, he was totally exhausted. From the sound of Han Yus voice calling out for his Boss, the hostility emanating from the grey d assassins quietly disappeared. However, they remained unmoving and cold like air. Only a rather slight-built one advanced at Han Yus side. Long Haochen tookrge strides forward, telling him the words, It was hard on you. Han Yu replied in a pressed tone, Its nothing. Boss, where are the enemies? These demons? He was filled with anxiety: he had brought so many powerhouses from the Assassin Temple in a hurry, but upon reaching the destination, no demons were at sight. Wouldnt that be taken as a lie to the military? Their team definitely wasnt capable of taking such me. Long Haochen replied, The demons have all retreated. Take a look. Giving this reply, he pointed at the mountain behind them. Han Yu was startled. The assassin on his side finally changed looks from his impossible expression, his aged voice sounding out, Youngsters, dont tell me that you are the ones who caused the copse of such a mountain, suppressing all these demon elite troops? From the images you brought back, this could very possibly be one of the top demon legion, known as the Demon God Emperors second legion. Long Haochen shook his head, Not the whole, only a part of it. Arge amount of Demonic Bears and Hell Demons, with a few Grand Fiends and Berserk Demons are crushed under this. I estimate the demons to have lost close to a third of their troops, before they chose to withdraw. Demon corpses are still stuck underneath, we have already cut a way in, you can just have a look. With his sharp senses, he sensed that the assassin before him was undoubtedly an Assassin Emperor at the eighth step. Following them, the work of excavation was undertaken by the assassins. To Long Haochens shock, among these three hundred that had appeared, the assassins of the eighth step numbered twenty, and the remaining were all Assassin Kings at the seventh step. These were the top elites of the Assassin Temple, forming the Hidden Hall. The Hidden Chivalrous Hall was formed of a total of thirty six assassins bearing the title of Hidden Knights, the cream of the cream that was chosen for this task. Very rapidly, various informations were reported to them, proving Long Haochens words. That Hidden Knight titled assassin that spoke to Long Haochen before had now a totally different expression on his face. Young Demon Hunt Squad captain, you are heroes for the Alliance, and for our Exorcist Mountain Pass. On behalf of the million military and civilians forming it, I thank you. Long Haochen saluted back to him with respect, Respected Hidden Knight, I should be the one thanking you. The senior revealed a smile, I am the fourth Hidden Knight,mander of this operation. Thinking of having to undergo a fierce battle, I didnt expect to have onlye for recovery of materials. I will report your contribution as things are. However, we have to return as fast as possible to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Oh, right, I havent asked for your name yet. Long Haochen replied, I am the captain of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen. Commander grade? The fourth Hidden Knight appeared in shock. How could amander grade Demon Hunt Squad be in possession of a forbidden spell ranked scroll? Even for Demon Hunt Squads, these things out to cost at least a million contribution points. And could a Demon Hunter even trigger a forbidden scroll of the earth element? However, following his shock, he suddenly realized how Long Haochen had just named himself. So You are Long Haochen? This time, the tone of this Hidden Knight changed totally. Long Haochen nodded in puzzlement, Yes thats me! Have you heard of me before? From his point of view, the fact this senior had heard of his name should be rted to his rtionship with Caier. But even so, there was no need to act so shocked. Of course, of course I heard of you before. You are extremely well-known! So it was actually you. Then its no wonder, no wonder at all Hearing his words, Long Haochen was at a loss. Without waiting for his reply, the fourth Hidden Knight seemed to have suddenly be extremely impatient, This wont do. Follow me as fast as possible, all of you. We will return to the Exorcist Mountain Path by flight. Senior, what were you just Long Haochen was greatly puzzled by this senior, and the same went for everyone else. This fourth Hidden Knights excitement sounded somewhat abnormal. The fourth Hidden Knight replied, Follow me first, I will exin to you on the way. At longst you guys are back. Afterwards, he instructed the other assassins to return to the Alliance, and took the initiative to bring Long Haochens group of seven back, spreading out their spiritual wings and directly heading towards the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Senior, can you tell me now what happened? In midair, Long haochen asked him once again. Seeing the four wings spreading out on Long Haochens back, the fourth Hidden Knight had another shock. _This youngster is indeed quite an abnormal one! Whoah._ The demon armies are besieging us. Since you are finally back, you ought to know. The fourth Hidden Knight replied. Long Haochen nodded, We saw that the demon approach had be especially tumultuous this time. The military force they have gathered is considerable. Thats why we had to take the long route to head there, climbing over the mountain. Thats how we ran across that second Demon Emperor Legion. The fourth Hidden Knight replied, This situation isnt only taking ce in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, but at all the strategic points of the Alliance. The demons dispatched the overwhelming majority of their troops,unching a Holy War against the Alliance. What?! Long Haochen had already guessed that this ought to be an intense conflict, but didnt think things would be so serious. A Holy War, meaning a war that wouldnt stop until total annihtion. This was a full strength sh between the two races. But the demons hadntunched such a war for over two thousand years. Could they have gone mad? The fourth Heroic Knight nced at Long Haochen, Do you know why a Holy War is happening now? Long Haochen shook his head. How could he guess such a thing? The fourth Hidden Knight replied, The demons came very suddenly, about half a month ago, assembling enormous armies in each major human stronghold. They originally only surrounded them without attacking. The Alliance responded rapidly, transferring their inner troops, making a forced repatriation of the whole avable forces, and warning the whole poption to prepare for changes. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu personally brought out the threat of a Holy War, with a single demand. If we could respond to it, they would immediately withdraw, otherwise, they wouldunch this army of millions of troops, to start a Holy War in the edges of the whole Alliance. What was his demand? For the demons to burst out so brazenly, Long Haochen was not only puzzled but moreover full of shock and curiosity. The fourth Hidden Knight took a deep breath, before giving a simple reply, It was you. What? Me? Are you sure? When Long Haochen heard that reply, he felt totally confused, and full of disbelief. How could this be! Even if he escaped from AhBaos hands, and caused severe troubles to the demons, every Demon Hunt Squad was the same! _How could the Demon God Emperor make such a fuss over such a minor issue, triggering this Holy War just because of me?_ The fourth Hidden Knight smiled bitterly, No one understood the motives of the Demon God Emperor. But their motives are just as you heard. They wanted the Alliance to hand over you, or otherwise, this Holy War would beunched. This was his only request. Not only Long Haochen had a grotesque look on his face. How couldnt it be the same for hisrades. A Holy War rted to the extinction of one of the demon or the human race was actually triggered just because of Long Haochen. This simple reason was very hard toprehend. The nearby Sima Xian couldnt help but react, Could this be because we destroyed a demon god pir? But the news couldnt have spread so far. Even if he knew, he shouldnt have reacted so rapidly to that. You Just what did you say? You destroyed a demon god pir? The fourth Hidden Knight felt difficulty to even breath. His whole worldview changed totally. Could such amander grade Demon Hunt Squad destroy a demon god pir? How could this be? Just how? Long Haochen was also totally puzzled, immediately denying Sima Xians hypothesis, It cant be because of that. Even if this war was sudden, the demons needed the time of one month to prepare for it. At that time, we were still in Jacques City. Is the Demon God Emperor crazy? At the current time, he was in a confused state of mind, failing to understanding the motives of the Demon God Emperor. Most of all, he couldntprehend how he could have so mysteriously be the target of the Demon God Emperor? Caier suddenly spoke, Did the Alliance ept the condition of the Demon God Emperor? She who had be so cautious after losing her memories, suddenly asked the most important issue. The others had instantly be vignt on that issue. Right! Did the Alliance ept the condition of the Demon God Emperor? After all, even with an even greater talent, Long Haochen was just a single person. Such a Holy War would surely put many people in a disastrous condition! Hence it wouldnt be impossible for the Alliance to abandon Long Haochen. It could be that this confrontation only took ce because Long Haochen hadnt returned yet. If things are really that way, then now Everyone nced at each other filled with serious feelings of worry. The eyes of every members gathered all onto the fourth Heroic Assassin Knight, waiting for his reply. Chapter 465 - Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (I)

Chapter 465: Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Hearing Caiers question, the fourth Heroic Knight let out augh, epted? How could we possibly have epted? If that was the case, why would the Demon God Emperor even send his second legion to ambush us? Regarding the condition proposed by the Demon God Emperor, the Alliance diverged into two different sides. The first one was mainly supported by the Knight Temple, our Assassin Temple and the Warrior Temples leaders. They were all violently opposed to delivering Long Haochen, and had no margin for negotiation. In particr, the Knight Temple expressed that if they decided to hand Long Haochen over, they would choose to quit the Alliance. What?! Hearing the fourth Heroic Knights words, Long Haochen immediately felt his blood rise, his entire body shivering. _The Knight Temple would actually quit the Alliance just for my sake?_ The fourth Heroic Knight continued, The Warrior Temples reaction wasnt much inferior to the Knight Temples. Qiu Haohan flipped a table, his eyes wide open. Mentioning it, as the chief of the Temple Alliance, Yang Haohan shouldnt be so categorical in his decision. Qiu Yonghao was the one who forced him to act this way. He said that if the Knight Temple was prepared to abandon you, the Warrior Temple would spare no cost to defend you. Then in our Assassin Temples side, Temple Head Sheng Yue mentioned that as his grandson-inw that you were, whoever tries to hand you over would have to step on his corpse to do that. Reaching this point, the fourth Hidden Assassin Heros face expression became odd. At the time of the meeting, he was also present as a representative for the Assassin Temple, and still remembered that weird situation very clearly. The Six Great Temples representatives hadnt even started the meeting as Qiu Yonghao made this deration. Afterwards, senior Alliance Chief expressed that Long Haochen was the only sessor for the Knight Temple. If the Alliance came to the final decision of handing him over, the Knight Temple would quit the Alliance. Adding to that Sheng Yues deration, total silence reigned over the whole room. Afterwards, chief Sheng Yue jumped up and down, shocking the heads of the three magic specializing Temples. Originally, the Hidden Knight somewhat disapproved him. Wasnt it just a youngster under twenty years-old? Even if he was particrly endowed, and even if the Temple Alliance didnt n on handing him over, there was no need for these Temples Heads to act so brazenly. But finally, a change started to appear in his attitude ever since he met Long Heochen. Right! Thats a Demon Hunt Squad Captain who can bring a Commander Grade Demon Hunt Squad to forcibly block the way of the Demon Emperors second legion, and kill at least a fifth of them, wounding a third of their ranks. How could the Temple Heads not be concerned over such an issue? Given enough time, this youngster would surely be a legend for the Alliance in the future. Hearing the words of the fourth Heroic Assassin Knight, Long Haochen was already beyond an emotionally stirred state. His heart seemed close tobustion, despite his firm disposition. He absolutely didnt expect that for his sake, these three Temple Heads would be so protective. Only by striving the utmost to serve the Alliance can he then repay these deep emotions. The talk continued, From the attitudes of these three seniors, the atmosphere of the whole meeting changed. Originally, many higher-ups of the Alliance were not familiar with you, but with that, you earned yourself a great reputation. Afterwards, the Mage Temples chief stepped in, leading three other hall masters that came on behalf of the Mage Temple, and calmed down everyone, before analyzing the condition of the Demon God Emperor. First of all, the matter of the congregation was the condition of the Demon God Emperor, iming a single person, and whether he would be taken out as a bargaining chip to avoid the start of a Holy War. This was in itself unusual. Of the two possibilities, one was that they had originally nned on starting a Holy War, but were only looking for a pretext. And supposing you were already caught by the demons, it would then make sense as we wouldnt possibly be able to hand you over. The second possibility was that your existence could threaten the demons rule. Only this exnation would make him view you so importantly. But no matter which motive, you couldnt possibly be handed over, so these three didnt need to act so emotionally. This is simply called being blinded by ones concern. Hearing the words of the fourth Hidden Knight, Long Haochensrades finally rxed down. Since the Alliance came to a consensus, Long Haochen was naturally safe. The fourth Hidden Assassin Knight let out a smile, The rest of the meeting turned out even more interesting. Long Haochen your inside information has been entirely revealed, as the Knight Temple couldnt possibly keep the information rted to you hidden. After all, this rted to the whole Alliance, and the second part pertained on introducing everything regarding you. Han Yu asked, Then, what did the Alliance decide regarding Captain? The fourth Hidden Knight replied, This wasnt discussed back then. It was discussed in private by the Temple Heads, so I dont know about the specific details. Only the order that if one found you, they had to immediately bring you to the closest stronghold. In all likelihood, you will have to meet with Head Master Sheng Yue to know his answer. At least nothing bad wille out. In the process he flew to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the fourth Hidden Knight came to know more regarding this Demon Hunt Squad. Aside from Long Haochen, the others spiritual energy didnt permit them to sustain such long times of flight. But dont forget the cheat-like ability Han Yu has to enable the group to go beyond their limits. So at midway, when everyone nearly exhausted their spiritual energy consumption, he activated the Spiritual Stove of Blessings of Light. In a short amount of time, everyone recovered their whole spiritual energy, its powerful utility even affecting the fourth Hidden Knight. With his experience, he could naturally tell that this was a rare kind of supportive spiritual stove. But he actually never even heard of such a spiritual stove. Originally excited regarding Long Haochens prospects, he came to gain interest in his whole team. As the saying goes, there are indeed no poor soldiers under a good general. With Long Haochens astonishing strength, how could hisrades becking? Nheless, he didnt raise this question. Long Haochens group pretended to have made use of an earth scroll, but by observing attentively, the mage in their team didnt use the earth element. More urately speaking, there was no earth element user in this team. The Exorcist City was just as imposing, butpared to thest time Long Haochens group came, the city was even more lively. In the city, people were going in and out, truly a bustling sight. These busy people all seemed rted with the defense of the city. Long Haochens group even saw some guards transport heavy weaponry towards the outside of the city. After obtaining the urate information from the fourth Heroic Knight, Long Haochen felt somewhat heavy. Given his intelligence, if he hadnt guessed what the reason why the Demon God Emperor imposed such a condition to the Temple Alliance, he wouldnt be fit to be called a gods chosen one. _Haoyue, my good brother, just what kind of antecedents do you have!? In your own world, youre considered a terrible disaster, and this time, even the Demon God Emperor is showing such fear towards you, actually having no scrupple to trigger a Holy War. Is your potential so terrifying?_ Long Haochen was indeed certain that the Demon God Emperor hadntunched this Holy War for his sake, despite his status as a gods chosen one. In the long history between demonkind and mankind, gods chosen ones had appeared before. For instance, this was the case for the Scion of Samsara of that time, wasnt it the same for him? Only one gods chosen one wouldnt possibly be enough for the whole demon n to make such a big fiss. Because this wouldnt be worth it. Remembering about everything that happened close to Haoyue, the answer easily appeared in Long Haochens mind. First, at the time he confronted the demon gods for the first time at the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Long Haochen still remembered vaguely about the three rather lower ranked demon gods that they had encountered. That time, before fainting he seemed to have heard Haoyues cry, who finally saved him. Although he didnt know what Haoyue did, he was certain that he was the one who intimidated these demon gods, enabling him to return with his future father-inw Sheng Lingxin, without any death in the battle. A short timeter, he encountered for the Demon God Emperor for the first time. That time, it was for Haoyues sake that he hade. At that time, Haoyue was still three-headed, and although he wasnt clear on why the detection of the Demon God Emperor failed, from the situation, he surely knew since back then that Haoyue would bring disaster to the demon race in the future, which exins why he came to the Exorcist Mountain Pass so eagerly. The various things that happened afterwards were still clear in Long Haochens head. Haoyue released his purple aura to cause various powerful demons to shrink back on various asions. Among these included AhBao. And thest element that confirmed Long Haochens supposition for sure was this time in the Swamps of Gloom. Never could he have expected that Haoyue would aplish what humankind never seeded in over six thousand years. The destruction of a demon god pir. No wonder the Demon God Emperor would view Haoyue so importantly. His very existence was a threat to the core of the demons. If Haoyue and him were let to grow, perhaps demonkind would really face destruction by their hands. If such a day really came, it would be the best. Long Haochen had never doubted Haoyue. The rtionship between the two of them had always been perfect, each of them having a part of the counterparts blood flowing in their veins. The reason for his strength greatly surpassing his otherrades could be mostly rted to Haoyue. Moreover every evolution of Haoyues brought a change in him, greatly reinforcing his spiritual energy. He certainly wouldnt hand Haoyue over. Even if he died in the process, he had to protect Haoyue with his all. But of course, if he died for real, with the effects of their contract, Haoyue would unfortunately follow him in this fate. Chapter 466 - Returning in the Exorcist’s Mountain Pass (II)

Chapter 466: Returning in the Exorcists Mountain Pass (II)

Trantor: GravityTales But Long Haochens pressure was really hard to bear. No matter what one said, Haoyue and him were the reason for the Holy War initiated by the demons this time. Forces of over ten million in the demon side were opposed to the resistance of an army of over a million humans. The terrible situation that the people were going to be put in was obvious. The fourth Heroic Knight directly brought them to a meeting room in the Assassin Temple, before making his report in a hurry. Without any outsider present, everyone unconsciously focused their eyes on Long Haochen. Every one of them was filled withplex feelings, with only Caier at a loss. At the time she entered the Assassin Temple, her expression seemed to have changed. Faintly, Caier felt a sense of familiarity with the ce. Boss, is something weighing in your mind? Lin Xin looked at Long Haochen with some concern. Arge scale invasion, the Holy Warunched by the Demon God Emperor. These news struck the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad hard. And moreover, Long Haochen was in the core of this storm. How could hisrades be free of worries? Long Haochen shook his head with no hesitation, Its nothing. We will just have to listen to the arrangements the Alliance is nning for. You all heard what the fourth Hidden Knight said. I am only thinking of fighting for the sake of the Alliance right now. Yeah, we have to fight for the sake of the Alliance. Sima Xians eyes flickered with an ominous glint, itching to rush to the battlefield. The others nodded in turn, having steadied their minds. Long Haochen was the soul of this team, and although he couldnt be said to have been wless on the past missions, at least he was very reliable. As long as his mind is steady, there wont be issue, and everyone would naturally be a lot better. Actually, Long Haochens current frame of mind was bound to beplex. Only he understood the real reason that the Demon God Emperor started this Holy War was to get his hands on Haoyue and him. If he stood up, maybe this whole war could be ended, but could he do that? The answer was uncertain. This was a war between two races, and even without this trigger, along with the continuous human growth, this Holy War would sooner orter erupt. And Long Haochen may be the Scion of Light, but that doesnt prevent him from cherishing his life as well! More importantly, the one who would have to pay the cost of his life to stop this war wouldnt be him, but his goodpanion and good brother Haoyue. Everyone had their own selfishness. Even with the cleanest and holiest heart he could possibly have, Long Haochen remained in the end a human. He also had selfish desires of his own: how could he just look at Haoyue dying like that? This was absolutely impossible, but he wasnt also willing to see the people in terrible situation because of the Holy War. Therefore, his mind was in total disarray. He already had the resolution that no matter what the final verdict of the Alliance would be, even if he was handed over, he would support this decision until the end. And he already resolved himself to report the threat presented by Haoyue to the demon race to the Alliance, leaving everything for them to decide. Making such a decision was very painful to Long Haochen, but at the same time, he felt a lot more rxed after doing it. At least he could now forgive himself. At worse he would be sacrificed by the Temple Alliance, and if things really ended this way, he would only choose to die in battle alongside Haoyue. The presence of fourth Heroic Knight was very effective. The surrounding space slightly shivered all of a sudden. Long Haochens sharp eyes were locked onto a single ce, his right hand made a sudden move, before immediately returning to its previous position. The next instant, a grey figure stepped on the floor, stepping forward. That was the chief of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue. Sheng Yues look was attracted to Long Haochen seeing him withdraw his hand. And his eyes seemed to have a different look. His second target of view was naturally Caier. When Caier came into contact with Sheng Yue for the first time, her body shivered slightly, and her lost look seemed to have crackled slightly. Looking nkly at him, she seemed to have entirely gone stiff. Sheng yue believed that his great-granddaughter was in a state of excitement from seeing him, but didnt pay her any more attention, looking back towards Long Haochen. But he still didnt say a single word, lifting his hand, grabbing Long Haochens head underneath. With Sheng Yues strength, the mere flicker of his five fingers caused a astonishingly cold killing intent to spread out instantly, causing the temperature in the whole meeting room to plummet. A terrible oppressive force instantly surrounded Long Haochens body. Who would have thought that this senior would act aggressively immediately upon arriving? And Sheng Yues speed reached such a degree that at the time his hand was lifted, it immediately appeared in front of Long Haochens eyes, grabbing him without giving anyone a mere chance to react. . Long Haochens reaction speed being iparably fast, at the time Sheng Yues look fell once again on him, he felt a sense of crisis. Originally sitting on a chair, he didnt immediately stand up, because he didnt have the time to do so. His right foot stamped onto a nearby chair, making use of it to slide backwards. Meanwhile, his right hand advanced, pointing to the emptiness as fast as lightning. One could see that in this mere instant, Long Haochens right hand shone like a golden crystal. With a sharp sound of hiss, a bolt of sword qi was shot in the emptiness, and an orange glint of light protected Long Haochen under its scope. _Pop._ The golden sword aura directly hit Sheng Yues palm, encountering no obstruction and dying his right w-like hand. At the time this right w descended for the second time, and what it hit was the Shield Wall erected by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Long Haochens Shield Wall ability was unleashed almost instantly. With the addition of his full power sword intent strike, Sheng Yues right hand only managed to streak across the surface of the Shield Wall. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon let out another orange glow of light, pushing him backward without any harm inflicted to Long Haochen. The coordination of the whole team was disyed right then. Although no one understood why Sheng Yue would act against Long Haochen, their experience fighting side by side was really plentiful. Down to the extent that right after Long Haochen just started to act, the others immediately followed. Sima Xians right hand was swung, letting the Energetic Ball of Light liberate strident noises as it smashed toward Sheng Yue. And it simply obstructed his way, letting him no way to keep attacking Long Haochen. A resonant phoenix cry followed instantly, Lin Xin having no hesitation to trigger his Phoenix of Heart of Fire. Facing a powerhouse of the ninth step , was there another choice but to go all out from the beginning? Han Yus Scarlet Wild sword carried a frantic aura, as it chopped forward, in front of Sheng Yues path, aiming at his knees. Wang Yuanyuans Divine Soul Shield flew over, aiming straight at Sheng Yues neck. Han Yu and the rest were covering the top and the bottom, and with the addition of Sima Xian, they could be said to have stopped all Sheng Yues possible routes. What shocked Sheng Yue the most was that at the same time these little guys reacted, overflowing mes burst out. The terrifying might of the Devil Dragon filled the whole room almost instantly. To say nothing about the mere room, the whole Assassin Temple ought to have sensed the presence of this dragon might. Caier was the only one who didnt make any move. She was still in apletely dull state, standing unmoving foolishly, and thinking of something no one knew about. Sheng Yue was indeed worthy of his reputation of Assassin Temple chief. Facing the siege of these youngsters, despite his inner shock, his reaction wasnt slow at all. His feet slightly moved, and in a sh after avoiding the Energetic Ball of Light ramming from the side and pushing it with his right hand, his body floated horizontally, kicking with his both feet at Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yus attack These youngsters were still only at the sixth step of cultivation. Sheng Yue having reached the ninth step, although he didnt look down on them, he wouldnt possibly use his full strength against opponents of this level! So he only used the most basic spiritual energy operating, reacting by the means of his instinct. But against Sheng Yues expectations, he was too careless. He had indeed underestimated the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad too much, especially the formidable power of Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light. When Sheng Yue tried to cut through it, in his imagination, this weapon had to be very heavy, but Sima Xians spiritual energy was bound to it, so he would surely be sent flying. Drawing force from the propelling power following his attack, he would kick the two attacks from the nks, after that dealing with the hissing phoenix unleashing blue fire would be no issue. But the instant after his right hand came into contact with the Gigantic Ball of Light, Sheng Yue realized his mistake. That stupid-looking weapon was actually a lot more frightful than he imagined. With strident sounds of st, Sheng Yue felt a powerful force shake his hand. This was the Crush, Absorption and Triple st abilities from the Gigantic Ball of Light. If it was only that, Sheng Yue wouldnt sustain any wounds with his spiritual energy over a hundred thousand units. More crucially, at the time of using the Energetic Ball of Light, Sima Xian utilized his Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder. Therefore, the instant Sheng Yues right hand touched it, purple lightning suddenly burst out, ramming straight at his palm to spread widely into Sheng Yues whole body. With such strength of spiritual energy, wounding Sheng Yue was unthinkable for the Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder. However, the paralysis triggered by the thunder took effect. To a powerhouse at the level of Sheng Yue no detail could be deemed insignificant in times of battle. Even if it made contact for less than a second, this shook off his whole n. The two feet he shot in the air went numb, before colliding with the Scarlet Wild Sword and the Divine Soul Shield. Chapter 467 - Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (III)

Chapter 467: Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Sheng Yue was extremely strong, but that was only physical strength. What he collided with was Legendary Equipment. Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu were kicked away, but Sheng Yue also wasnt good off. Characterized by their frantic glints, these two Legendary Equipment devastated his paralyzed body, dying him even further. Right at this moment, the Blue Fire Phoenix reached him, instantly gushing out with red-hot mes, and bursting out with terrible might that almost engulfed Sheng Yues whole body. Phoenix Heart of Fire. This was the only ability of a fused spiritual stove, and it caused Lin Xin to suffer an enormous bacsh every time he used. Originally, at the time he had just obtained this technique, he managed to use it to block a Zombie King of the eighth step, wounding him to a great extent. Sheng Yue was naturally stronger than a Zombie King, but the biggest issue was that, he was caught unprepared. Lin Xin was bing progressively more proficient in controlling fire. So, at the time he intervened, the power in his Phoenix Heart of Fire already umted, all of which burst out upon colliding. You little rascals. Sheng Yue cursed loudly, busting out with a sparkling grey light. His sharp aura immediately cut the throat of the blue phoenix, causing it to disappear in a sh, and everything returned to normal. With a kick after another the group of males including Long Haochen whose Shield Wall retracted after being sent flying. But Sheng Yue didnt keep attacking, confronting the Devil Dragon that was upying half of the room with a grotesque expression. He was highly alert. Yinger, stop it. The senior doesnt have any malicious intention. Although Long Haochen was in pain from the kick, he ordered in a hurry. The might of the Devil Dragon was just too great. Causing the Assassin Temple to misunderstand wouldnt do any good. With a sh of ck light, under the dumbstruck gaze of Sheng Yue, the previously aggressive Devil Dragon turned back into the shape of a frail little pig held in Chen Yingers arms, even showing a taunting look. Sheng Yues mouth and eyes twitched, cursing at them one more time, What a group of little rascals you are. Why did you be so fierce? Is this uncle a demon? Sheng Yues look was indeed hard to look at. His clothes were scorched along with some of his hair. A burn even appeared on his left cheek. That was truly a sorry figure. Sheng Yue wanted to find a private ce to curse at himself. All he did was to try out their skills a little! It was to the extent that he was disgraced. These little rascals, dont they even know about being lenient? But surely he couldnt say these words out loud. Grudgingly looking at Long Haochens group who was standing back up, he shouted in a rage, You have grown up quite well havent you? To dare go against this uncle.. Should this uncle juste and teach you a little lesson? Great-grandfather, please spare us. This wasnt intentional. Long Haochen hurriedly advanced with a smile on his face, paying his respects as a junior in the form of a salute. Sheng Yue snorted, You little one are the worse of all. Dont you know how worried you made us? So what about meing to lecture you? From what I see, you little bunch of bastards have shown quite interesting reactions. Is there such bitter hatred between us all? Seeing Sheng Yues sorry figure, everyone naturally understood that this elder was only trying out Long Haochen. Now they didnt even dare tough at the scene, keeping their heads down without muttering a word. So you have finally grown up havent you? Sheng Yue raised his hand, hitting Long Haochen on the head. The pained Long Haochen showed a grimace, not daring to make a sound. He didnt expect Sheng Yue to be so careless, having been reduced to such a state by them so rapidly. Unfortunately it was toote to think of avoiding earning this persons wrath. Sheng Yue felt quite depressed! Because he figured that he wasnt even able to vent out. After calming down for a little, he felt secretly apprehensive. Even if he had been careless, he was still a powerhouse of the ninth step! A hundred thousand units of spiritual energy was standing in front of them, and what was up with these guys equipment! For a Demon Hunt Squad who had just raised themselves to themander grade to take out so many Legendary Tier equipment. Just from where could they havee? And in particr, Long Haochens shield was letting out an orange glow. Epic Tier? Sheng Yue seemed to have underestimated the strength of Long Haochens group. In fact, thest time they came, they could at most be regarded as a brilliant younger generation. But this time, they could already disyprehensive strength in front of this senior. This was simply a leap of strength. Youre at the seventh step? Sheng Yues wrath gradually vanished. Unconsciously, he asked Long Haochen this question. He still clearly remembered that at the time Logn Haochen unleashed that sword energy, he was on the boundary of Brilliant Body. Long Haochen nodded in response, Yes, great-grandfather. Sheng Yue had a great startle. Making a guess was one thing, but getting a confirmation of the fact was another. Just how old was he? Absolutely below twenty. Wasnt he just fourteen of fifteen thest time they met? Just how many year has it been since then? And already at the seventh step? Then it was no wonder that the Demon God Emperor would want to capture this guy. _Seventh step, is he at this stage for real? At what age did I reach that level back then? Wasnt it at thirty five?_ Sweeping his look on the whole group once again, the look on Sheng Yues face finally appeased. Of course, his cold demeanor soundedughable whening from such a sorry looking shape Of course, Long Haochens group absolutely didnt dareugh out loudly? Right at this time, severe knocks sounded out from the outside. The situation is all right here. I am the one who brought an imitator to mimic the dragon aura of a Devil Dragon. Sheng Yue shouted out. He could obviously not let himself be seen by his subordinates to avoid losing all face. Hearing him, everyone outside immediately calmed down. Sheng Yue stared fixedly at Long Haochen for quite a long time, nodding, Not bad. These past few years, you seem to have matured quite a lot, and your strength grew quite a bit. You have finally made it back. The fourth Hidden Knight should have already told you. The Holy War has started. Long Haochen nodded, Great-grandfather, the me is on me. I am willing to ept whatever punishment is dealt by the Alliance? Getting dealt by? Sheng Yues voice was abruptly raised up, Farts! What fault is on you, do you think of yourself to be qualified enough? What are you to put your head in affairs you have nothing to do with? Just tell if you want to be beaten up. Can the Holy War between the demons and the Alliance be started over a single person? Although Sheng Yues words sounded harsh, he took a reprimanding tone intentionally. But Long Haochen felt warm , naturally able to sense Sheng Yues concern from his words. Long Haochen took a deep breath, following the talk, Great-grandfather, its really the case. Listen to me, this matter is very important to the Alliance. No matter what decision you take, I wont have anyint. I wont hide from the Alliance either, I trust that you will make the best choice. Seeing Long Haochens serious look, Sheng Yue suddenly realized that things werent as simple as he imagined. Wrinkling his brows, he covered the whole room in an ice-coldyer, covering the whole room. What do you want to say? Sheng Yue wrinkled his brows. Long Haochen replied, Great-grandfather, I am certainly the cause why the Demon God Emperor started this Holy War. About this, even myrades dont know, but as the person involved, I am very clear of the cause why the Holy War started. I feel very sad about it. I really dont want to see the people being put in terrible situation. But this matter is rted to my closestrade. Theres no way I could hand him over, so I ask the Alliance to take the final decision. No matter how the Alliance decides to handle me, I will ept the treatment. Hearing such serious words, not only Sheng Yue had an unsightly expression, but the same went for hisrades with the only exception being the dazed Caier. The others were all opening their eyes wide in shock. They were also full of questions about the motives of the Demon God Emperor. Hearing Haochens words, that this Holy War was indeed rted to him. Sheng Yues cheek showed signs of twitchingsquirming/wiggling(?). His voice suddenly became more gentle, Boy, dont worry. You great-grandfather is listening to you. You know, no matter what happens, your great-grandfather will be standing on your side. No one can punish my great-grandson. And you have to remember, dont ever tell someone else about what you told me. Even inside the Alliance, not everyone thinks the same as me. Now tell me what you have in heart. As long as I can be of help, I will give my all to help you. Yes. Seeing Sheng Yues concerned look, Long Haochen nodded with all his force. He almost had an urge to cry. Sheng Yue was Caiers great-grandfather, but this time, he felt a strong warmth feeling emanating from this irascible old man. And family love had always been Long Haochens weak spot. Great-grandfather, at the time we left the Alliance, we took a total of sixteen ughter Missions. Less than half a yearter, we have seeded inpleting all of them. Among these missions, the hardest one was to kill thest ranked demon god Andromalius. Sheng Yue was once again in great shock, What? Are you saying that you killed a demon god? Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius? Long Haochen nodded in reply, A great part of it was rted to luck. At that moment, he detailed the matter of their encounter with the Devil Snake Demon God, and how they took advantage of the conflict between the Forest Boa King and Andromalius, and how both sides ended up close to killing each other. A great achievement. Even an Emperor grade Demon Hunt wouldnt necessarily manage to kill a demon god under the protection of his demon god pir. With such an achievement when you are not even in your twenties, you guys are simply legends for the Alliance. Even with his harsh character, Sheng Yue couldnt help but feel amazed hearing Long Haochens story. These children risked their lives and at such young age to kill a demon god, this was truly a huge achievement. Chapter 468 - Warmth (I)

Chapter 468: Warmth (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen continued, After killing the Snake Devil Demon God Andromalius, we faced his demon god pir, trying our utmost to destroy it. Its toughness was really beyond our imagination. Sheng Yue smiled, Thats for certain. You dont have to feel discouraged about that. In the past, many Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad attempted to destroy a demon god pir without sess. Ai, it has been six thousand years, and the matter of the seventy two demon gods leaves us the most helpless. This is the core strength of the demons. As long as these annoying pirs exist, the demons will never truly die. You dont have to be so sad. In the future, when you are strong enough, we will think of some way. Unfortunately, the only person with possibility to destroy a demon god pir, Scion of Samsara died too young back then. Otherwise, maybe he could have caused a miracle. Long Haochen gave a serious response, But we seeded! Seeded about what? What? Seeded you saying? Sheng Yue jumped in surprise. With his thin build, this jump simply seemed like an apes. Long Haochen continued, We seeded in destroying that demon god pir, to destroy it thoroughly. In this world, there wont ever appear another Devil Snake Demon God. And its even hard to say for sure that the Snake Devil lineage will be able to survive. Sheng Yue had his eyes wide open, staying still for over ten seconds in his posture. You Are you saying this for real? You actually destroyed a demon god pir? No, it cant be. This hasnt ever happened before. Even if you are extremely talented, especially gifted, with your current cultivation, how could you possibly destroy a demon god pir? This absolutely cannot be. Seeing Sheng Yues abnormal look, Long Haochen revealed a pained face, But great-grandfather, we just did it. And this is the reason why the Demon God Emperor made capturing me the reason for this Holy War. Sheng Yues irregr breathingsted for several minutes before calming down, Are you saying that you have an extraordinary ability enabling you to destroy demon god pirs. Long Haochen nodded, It can be said so. But its not me, its my magical beastpanion, Haoyue. I believe myrades should have realized that Haoyue is an abnormal magical beast. Until now, no one has been able to tell to what race he belongs to. But he has an extraordinary ability, that doesnt seem to be of much utility against us humans. But it is very destructive against demons, especially demon god pirs. Haoyue consumed his life force as a cost to help us destroy that demon god pir. If I am not guessing wrong, its precisely because the Demon God Emperor guessed the threat Haoyue represented to the demon race, that he demands me from the Alliance. Haoyue and I are bound by blood. As long as I die, Haoyue would hardly survive alone. In the 64th Demon Hunt Squad, it was impossible to say that no one had noticed this detail. Merely, everyone was feeling very confused, and approved his exnations after realizing this bit.For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely serious. Without doubt, having obtained the ability to destroy demon god pir was a tremendous asset to the Temple Alliance. But now demonkind started all out Holy War. Would the Temple Alliance even have the strength to resist it? No one knew. The war was just a premise, the two parties were still at the stage of preparing their forces. Over the past six thousand years, although humanity kept recuperating, they were in the end only upying a part of the continent. The strength of demonkind also kept increasing, and they had no issue of fertility. While humans were amassing strength, how wouldnt demons do the same? In particr, higher ranked demons were far more than six thousand years ago. Currently, Long Haochen and Haoyues emotions were as stirred as one might imagine. Sheng Yue went in a deep state of reflection. From the point of view of the Alliance, handing over Long Haochen would undoubtedly give them the opportunity to keep recuperating. But afterwards, would they get another opportunity to acquire the strength to destroy demon god pirs? This was hard to say. And to protect Long Haochen, the Alliance would have to incur the rage of demonkind. After all, for the prosperity of their race, any ruler of the demons in these circumstances would spare no cost to kill Long Haochen and Haoyue. A long timeter, Sheng Yue had a difficult tone, Boy, you shouldnt let this out. This will very possibly make the situation unfavorable to you. Understood? Long Haochen retained a calm smile, Great-grandfather, theres nothing unfair. I cannot go against my conscience. As I said, I have no way to hand over Haoyue, hes my good brother. All I can do is speak the truth and leave it to the Alliance to decide. No matter what decision theye to make, I have noints. Great-grandfather, please lend me a room. Before the Alliancees to a decision, I will be staying in the Assassin Temple. Sheng Yue shut his eyes, waging war against himself deep inside. Having a good resistance to greed, what he hated the most in his lifetime was to encounter things going beyond his grasp. Without doubt, Long Haochen brought such a situation before him. He was unable to anticipate, how reporting this would result the Alliances decision. When it pertained to the life of the millions of inhabitants of the Alliance, no one would be able to predict what the final verdict would be. Great-grandfather Caiers voice suddenly sounded out, taking the shape of a dreamlike ringing shout. Long Haochen had a chill, looking beyond belief at Caiers direction. Caiers look was just as lifeless, taking one step after another toward Sheng Yue. Opening his eyes, Sheng Yue directed an astonished look at Caier. That was his great-granddaughter, that he was naturally the most familiar with. Caiers call seemed strange, greatly different from before. I I just remembered. Youre my great-grandfather. Great-grandfather, father, mother What about my father and mother? Why, just why didnt theye to save me? Why? Caier, whats up with you? Sheng Yue looked shocked, seeing Caier in such a state. Long Haochen hurriedly stepped forward, joining Caiers side, Caier, did you just remember? Remember everything? Why didnt youe to save me Why? Not paying Long Haochen the slightest bit of attention, she only repeated these words. She continued to have a lifeless look, but tears kept flowing beyond control on her face. This sight was truly painful to see. Long Haochenpletely forgot about his own matters, looking at her, embracing her in a hurry. But the current Caier was intensely stirred up. Her eyes were filled with despair and coldness, looking fixedly at Sheng Yue, in total daze. Why? Just why did you throw me there? Why did you do this to me, you all knew A close to hysterical voice came out from her mouth, making everyone very tense. _Pu._ Long Haochen softly hit her vitals, causing Caier to faint on the spot, her face still streaming with tears. Just what happened? Sheng Yue was dazed at his great-granddaughters final question. Long Haochen held Caier in his arms, wiping the tears on her face carefully, Thats my fault, I didnt manage to protect Caier, he told Sheng Yue how she lost her memories. Of course, he didnt mention everything rted to the Tower of Eternity, only mentioning that he had no other choice but to bring Caier out of the siege, having no other choice but to interfere in her awakening. Hearing Long Haochens exnation, Sheng Yue remained speechless for a while. He knew that this could absolutely not be med on Long Haochen. Who could predict Caiers sudden awakening? Long Haochen already did his best. Although he didnt tell the details, one can imagine that when surrounded by so many Demon Hunter Remover Squads, managing to break out was already a great feat. Go. First return home for now. The home Sheng Yue mentioned was inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass office pce. Sheng Yues home was located there instead of being in the Assassin Temple. As the chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass military, his home was in a courtyard at the back of the office pce. Sheng Yue didnt put only restriction on the liberty of Long Haochens group, only letting them stay here. Then he told Long Haochen that the matter would be reported to the higher-ups, so for now he had to wait for any information from the Temple Alliance. At the time Sheng Yue said that to Long Haochen, he already thought through that matter thoroughly. This was the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and his territory. If the Alliance decided to hand him over, couldnt he just let this boy go? Everyone had their own personal reasons when they acted, and he was no exception. At the time he caught sight of Caier after her loss of memories, Sheng Yues frame of mind changedpletely. For the first time, he recognized his own mistake. For the sake of the Alliance and the Assassin Temple, Caier was subject to unbearable pain, to the extent that this memory would be the first toe back. A pain etched in her bones. If he didnt let her take the inheritance of the Dagger of Samsara, would Caier have to experience such pain? And this time, will Long Haochen be be sacrificed for the Alliance? Sheng Yue couldnt do that. He already made the thorough resolve that no matter what, he will protect Long Haochen and Caier. The whole 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad lived there just like that. Although the Holy Warsrge shadow was enveloping the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Caiers home was extremely peaceful. That day after Caier sudden emotional breakout, she finally ended up getting knocked out by Long Haochen. After waking up, her mood gradually pacified. After a few days of rest, everyone was gradually making sure that some of Caiers memories were back, but these were only a few memories, when she was three or four years old. It was evidently from the stimtion of the Exorcist Mountain pass, and the deep impression left by her great-grandfather Sheng Yue, that finally stimte a few memories in her. Although this was only a small part, it was undoubtedly good news. Chapter 469 - Warmth (II)

Chapter 469: Warmth (II)

Unfortunately, soon after seeing their daughter, Sheng Lingxin and his wife had to return to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. With the start of the Holy War, although they were feeling extremely sorry for their daughter, their heavy responsibilities werent something that could be ignored. Haochen, are you there? Caier stood in front of the neighboring room, softly knocking onto the door. Right now, her memories just returned, her emotions were indeed greatly affected. But over the past few days, under the assurances of Long Haochen and the others, and with the care shown by her parents and great-grandfather, she gradually calmed down. After all, her memories werent all back, and what already passed was unchangeable, and she overcame it little by little. Over the past two days, her mental state was close toplete recovery. In the room, Long Haochens familiar voice wasnt responding. A while after she knocked, she went in to confirm that no one was indeed present, finding it quite strange. Ordinarily, Long Haochen would be cultivating in his room. After she calmed down, she thought a lot about the recent matters. Although Long Haochen was temporarily living here, be it him or the rest of the team, everyone was filled with uncertainty. Ever since losing her memories, the one who had been spending the most time with her was Long Haochen, who could be said to have meticulously taken care of her. Although she was still unable to remember the things that happened between the two of them, she was a girl, and had her own emotions. As time passed, even in that amnesic state, she gradually came to ept Long Haochen. At least now she wouldnt be blushing so clearly when Long Haochen took her hand and struggle against it. All this time, he was the one who made sacrifices for her. Now that such a major event happened, she should be the one tofort him. Now that she had realized this, Caier took the initiative to look for Long Haochen in his room, only to find out that he wasnt present. Could the Temple Alliance have given their decision on that matter? Thinking this, Caier felt very tense, attacked by an indescribable pain, feeling that her breath was unsteady. But, how could he not tell me anything?. No, he wouldnt leave like that. Simply said, she was blinded with concern. Caier didnt even notice, but unknowingly, Long Haochen already held an important position to the amnesic her. Caier, what are you doing? Right at this time, this question was raised to her. Turning her head, Caier saw Chen Yingere out from the nearby room, curious about her. As if she found her savior, Caier joined Chen Yingers side, Yinger, do you know about Haochen? Did you see him? Why isnt he in his room? Chen Yinger replied, still puzzled, Of course hes not in his room right now. Hes preparing a meal for you! Didnt you know that ever since we came back, everything you eat is prepared personally by Boss hands. Her whole body shivering with a feeling that would be hard to describe, she just realized that all the pores of her body felt rxed. All her previous worries dissipated, to be reced with concern and warmth. The rim of her eyes suddenly became red. So hes actually preparing my meals? At a time that he could be abandoned by the Alliance at any time, thinking of it, I should be the one preparing his meals, not the other way round. Seeing her expression, Chen Yinger who got the confirmation that she actually didnt know, didnt conceal her jealousy, Caier, youre such a lucky girl! Did you know? The day after you regained some of your memories, Boss said that your mind was unstable, and that he had to make good food for you to eat, so that you can feel better, then he said At this point, Chen Yinger suddenly stopped. Caiers sluggish looked suddenly became shiny, What else did he say? Chen Yingers eyes reddened slightly, He said that in the future, maybe there wont be another chance like this. He wanted to treasure his time with you, since thats all he can do for you. With a sh, Caier abruptly disappeared from Chen Yingers view. Looking at the shadow remnants from where she disappeared, Chen Yinger let out a sigh, talking aloud, Caier, youre really enjoying a good fortune. If one day, that guy treats me like Boss treats you, Id even ept death. There were several kitchens in the Exorcist Mountain Pass Office Pce. In a little one, Long Haochen was at work. This kitchen was small, and under Long Haochens request, it was reserved for his use in the past few days. Currently, he was adding firewood to the stove while paying attention to the state of the cauldron. A strong sweet smell already filled the air, apanied with a noticeable smell. In the pot were three Flying Dragons, which were of course not real dragons, but a very nutritious kind of bird not even categorized as magical beast. The day just started, as Long Haochen ran around to get the three Flying Dragons handled, preparing them as a soup. asionally adding heat, and sniffing at the scent of the soup, he took care of the other meals after making sure that theres no issue. As a poor child in charge of the family, Long Haochen started to learn cooking alongside his mother at six years of age. Although his talent in the field was not particrly praiseworthy, at least the taste wasnt toocking. He was also the one stewing the soup made up from wild herbs for his mother back then. His current living conditions were obviously beyondpare with the past. Long Haochen wanted to do some of the things he yearned to do before the Alliance reached its decision. At this time, contrary to the expectations, his thoughts were not really oriented so much towards his parents. Thats because he didnt want to inconvenience them with his own matters. Having not met them for so many years, he could only pray for them in silence. For the time being, cultivation was naturally not what he yearned the most for. If the Alliance decided to hand him to the Demon God Emperor, then what use would there be to cultivate some more? He couldnt possibly gain the strength to overtake him in such a short span of time. So all he wanted was to do something for Caier. As his age grew, Long Haochen understood that he would soon be eighteen. What he felt for Caier wasnt simply a little liking, but the love that only exists between two people of opposite gender. Thats because, every time he thought of Caier, no matter what she wanted, granting that would be his greatest joy. Caiers memory loss was the most painful experience he ever had. The future was uncertain, and he didnt want to think about it, only hoping to be able to stay together with her a little longer. Every day, being able to look at her and do something for her was enough. Caier silently stood behind the door of the kitchen. Approaching discreetly, she looked at the busy Long Haochen. d in a clean white apron, he was at work in the kitchen. Currently , he looked like a young cook, with none of his grandeur as a Demon Hunt Squad Captain. Unconsciously, Caiers sight went fuzzy. Feeling as if her heart was pierced ruthlessly, she felt her throat choking, unable to say a single word. As he was in the midst of preparing a meal, Long Haochens face moved suddenly, and his right hand was raised, releasing a sh of golden light that opened the door,ing face to face with Caier whose eyes were hazy with tears. Caier? Long Haochen was surprised to see her here. Haochen. Caier suddenly threw herself at him, crying out loudly in his bosom. Unable to make head or tail for the reason why she was crying, Long Haochen however dropped the vegetables and dewdrops in his hands. Her clothes were dirty, and he could only push her away feeble-mindedly with his hands. Idiot, whats up with you? Long Haochen asked in a supple voice. Hearing him call her a fool, she couldnt help but be filled with warmth. In the past, Caier liked calling him that way. He was her personal idiot! Caier didnt reply to that. Since she jumped at him crying, Long Haochen could only helplessly put the vegetable knife down, both his hands ced behind her, to take her in his arms. Caiers body was just as soft as before. It was only that as her age grew, her build became even more slender than before. Embracing such a soft girl, Long Haochen could only feel peace. But this feeling was not totally the same as before. Although he was finally able to hug her again, he knew that the current Caier was notpletely healed. Currently, she was only emotionally moved, and not in deep love like in the past. But this was still good, aint it? Haochen, in this world, no one is as good to me as you. Caier lifted her head, telling Long Haochen these words. Long Haochen chuckled at these words, Thats for sure. If Im not good to you, to who would I be good? As long as you can get better, Im perfectly satisfied with that. Dont force yourself to remember the matters of the past. Honestly speaking, I was really frightened at that time. Now, Im actually not so willing to see you recover your memories. Thats because if they are recovered, you will undoubtedlye to be reminded about that painful time. Caier lightly shook her head, No, I will definitely remember everything. Thats because you exist in my memories. I really want to remember about the emotions I had in the past by your side. Maybe its exactly because of these painful images that I want to understand the feelings you have towards me. Chapter 470 - Warmth (III)

Chapter 470: Warmth (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The others from the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad very rapidly felt the recent changes in Caier. She became attached to Long Haochen, and except for their time of sleep, the two of them seemed to be stuck together all day. Long Haochen made her meals, and she apanied him to wash the tes afterwards. No one disturbed them, even the loud soundsing from the war outside seemed to be filtered out to their ears. These days were only theirs. Unfortunately, the fateful day came very fast, and interrupted them. Right at the eleventh day after the arrival of Long Haochens group in Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Yue once again appeared in front of them. Haochen, I have good news. The Alliance decided to face the attack and meet it, preparing to sh with full force against the demon armies in this Holy War. While telling them all this, Sheng Yues eyes were filled with murderous spirit. Eh? Long Haochen looked at Sheng Yue in amazement, Great-grandfather, then what about me? Shen Yue had a slight smile on his face, Let alone you, even I didnt expect that. Everyone actually showed unanimous support, and no one argued this verdict. You have formally be the future sessor of the Knight Temple, and the Alliance will not spare any cost to protect you. Everyone was thinking the same. That your existence will be a terrible threat to the demons. When your strength grows enough, they will encounter their doom. As for our Holy War, its role will be to stall to see that day. Dont worry, everything is heading towards the greatest possible direction, and you dont need to worry about the battles. Although the demons took the initiative to begin this Holy War, their decision was very sudden, and are far from being prepared sufficiently. The horn of counterattack is waiting to be blown, the Temple Alliance has been preparing for just too long. The Demon God Emperor is indeed powerful, but attacking our Alliance wont be an easy thing for him. The winner cannot be predicted. Hearing Sheng Yues words, the members of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad rxed greatly. Although Long Haochen didnt worry, how could hisrades not be worried for him? The decision of the Alliance was undoubtedly extremely inspiring. Now they had to put all their force in helping the Alliance to resist. Long Haochen unconsciously clenched both his hands, Great-grandfather, in this case, I am willing to give my life to the Alliance. Let myrades and me return to demon territory to bite back at them. Their rear is surely empty. They will surely have demon gods guarding it. If we can get rid of some a few of them, it will certainly be a good hindrance to their Holy War. Sheng Yue immediately refused his suggestion, This wont do. You are now the target of protection of the Alliance. How could we let you risk your life in demon territory? There will naturally be others to handle the enemies at the rear, its not something you have to worry about. Aftering to this decision, the Alliance has issued apulsory mission to your team. You will have to goplete this, and after that, you will officially be recognized as a King grade Demon Hunt Squad. Mh? What mission is it? Long Haochen asked, greatly surprised. Sheng Yue had a sly smile, This mission cant be described as a hard one, but cant be called an easy one either. All of you are elites of the great Temples. Because of your rtionship with Haochen, you also gained the approval of the Alliance. So the Alliance decided that during the following period of time, you will be pursuing your training to be the new generation to seed to the Alliance. So you have to return to the headquarters of your respective Temples, obeying the assignments from your respective Temples, to be nurtured and trained. Until you all became qualified to graduate. What? Everyone cried out in surprise together. Thispulsory mission was naturally a good thing for their individual growth, but this also meant that their team would have to be temporarily disbanded. Wont do, we dont want to separate. Lin Xin reacted eagerly. Sheng Yue became stern, Is that something you can afford? Your are part of the Alliance, and as Demon Hunters, obeyingmands from above is your duty. Thats themon consensus the Alliance came to. Gain the backing of every Temple, including mine. Over these years, you have already contributed greatly to the Alliance, but your strength is far from enough. Now that you are the direct target of the demons, letting you carry out missions would only end in disaster. So now, what you need the most is a stable environment. Most of all, Long Haochen cannot advance prematurely, and absolutely cannot go take missions. Long Haochen pondered for a short time before hinting hisrades to calm down, and asked Sheng Yue, Great-grandfather, then when is it that we will be able to reunite as a team? Sheng Yue said with augh, This wont be hard. First, they will have to all reach at least the seventh step individually, and as their captain, you will have to reach eighth step. And you will have to pass all the tests imposed by the various Temples. At the time the Alliance needs you, you can reform as a team. Oh right, you will have to gain various aplishments in your own Temples as well. For instance, Haochen will need to be a Gold Essence Foundation Knight. So thats to say that you will have to prove yourselves to the Alliance. When you acquire the ability to protect yourselves, the Alliance will let you reform your team, continuing to carry out missions. Hearing Sheng Yues exnation, everyone became calm. They all understood that the Alliance was doing this for their own sake. The first objective was to avoid taking risks, letting them cultivate their talents. This was not only because of their individual importance, but more importantly because of the importance of Long Haochen and Haoyues ability to destroy demon god pirs. One could say that since the Alliance took the decision to protect them, they will strive their hardest to achieve that. Stepping once again into the battlefield wont be easy for them. Sheng Yue continued, You have to maintain the utmost secrecy about your return here. All those aware of your return will keep silent for you. But because of your intervention in the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass, its hard to say whether the demons will get the news of your arrival here. So you have to set out as fast as possible, and return to your own Temples to pursue your training as fast as possible. Children, the Alliance is counting on your future. We know that after having beenpleting missions together for so long, you all have deep attachment to each other, and arent willing to separate. But your lives are not only your own matters anymore, it rtes to the future of the Alliance. So no matter what, you cant look down on the importance of this mission. To reunite as early as possible, you will all have to spend two hundred percent efforts in boosting your strength. Just imagine anyway, if one day you can have a strengthparable to the Demon God yers, who would possibly be able to restrict you? After Sheng Yues patient talk, Long Haochen nodded in silence, Great-grandfather, thank you. We have also to thank the Alliance for protecting me. Be at ease, I will strive my hardest to improve. Its just that, Caier Reaching this point, Long Haochens face immediately looked pale. Turning around and noticing that Caier also became pale, they went silent for a moment. Sheng Yue sighed, Caier has a lot to study, but will also need a long time of rest after experiencing this loss of memories. Since she recovered some memories after getting back here, staying in the Exorcist Mountain Pass is the best choice for her. Be at ease, I will have a good talk with her parents, hoping that they can help her the best they can. And given your talents, I believe that it will only take you a few years to aplish the tasks bestowed by the Alliance. Whats more, the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple arent that far. After you have some aplishments in your training back there, wont you have the opportunity to see this girl? Be at ease. Even if the Alliance doesnt agree to lighten your tasks, when you pass twenty years of age, I will definitely personally send Caier to your side, for the arrangement of your wedding ceremony. Hearing these words, Long Haochen and Caier who originally looked pale, immediately blushed, looking at each other . Caier seemed shy and happy, and Long Haochen had faint concern coupled with his joy. No matter what, he hoped for Caier to recuperate her memories. Otherwise, he would forever feel short of something. The biggest issue was to have to separate from Caier. Twenty years old, this was a matter of having to wait at least two more years. When Caier is twenty, at least three years will have passed. Long Haochen was extremely unwilling to separate for so long. Sheng Yue patted Long Haochens shoulder, Boy, you have to understand that this is already the best result for you. The Alliance could only do this much. You will have to immediately leave, not waiting any longer. I will assign your protection to experts from the Assassin Temple. As future newlyweds, this separation can only make your reunion all the better. Be at ease, I will take good care of Caier. _Pam_ Long Haochen kneeled down in front of Sheng Yue, Great-grandfather, Im the one at fault. Its because I didnt take good care of her that she ended up losing her memories. Since Ill have to part with her, I just have a small request. Just let me make a meal for myrades and her before we separate, can I? Long Haochen having said that, everyones eyes became red. Caier was the first to throw herself in Long Haochens arms, Haochen, I Captain! Boss! Sheng Yue raised his head, looking above to try to stop tears from falling from his eyes, Okay, Im giving you a half a days more time. Tonight, you will have to leave. I will be arranging my men. After this, his figure shed and disappeared out of sight. To be separated against ones will was a very painful thing. Long Haochens group was faced with such a situation. Ever since they formed as the first soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, they experienced too many things together. Everyone was together in situations of life or death, fighting against demons together. Their emotions and rtionship with each other was already not as simple asrades or friends. They wererades able to entrust their backs to each other. Good brothers and sisters, and fellow soldiers that had the resolution to sacrifice their own lives for each other. Chapter 471 - Mother(I)

Chapter 471: Mother(I)

Trantor: GravityTales This day, they were told to part from each other, felt very painful to them. Long Haochen personally cooked a meal for everyone, but at the time of meal, no one spoke a single word. Dont be like that everyone. Great-grandfather is right. The separation today is for the sake of making us stronger on our reunion. I give you my word that within two years, or at most three, I will reform our team. At that time, we will already be a King grade Demon Hunt Squad. And even though this is only a temporary separation, we will still keep contact with each other. The Alliance has a system ofmunication, so when you arrive in your respective Temples, you have to report your well-being to me by letter. Long Haochen suppressed the pain in his heart with all he could, andforted hisrades. Lin Xin, after we separate this time, you are the one that will have the hardest time. Besides having to keep up your cultivation, you have a lot more to do. Please gather your storage devices, and I will transfer from the Eternal Melody all the resources for you to use in there. After you return, make trades for all the resources we need. Especially those going along with the Saw Skates and Forest Boas. After that, you can just send the Forest Boa Training Pills, and split it for everyone. As for me, I have no need for those. As an awakened gods chosen one, my physique underwent great changes, and I reckon the Forest Boa Training Pill wont have much effects on me. You have to make good use of these Saw Skates, give priority to making a good weapon for Yuanyuan, before selling the rest. Lin Xin calmly nodded, engraving Long Haochens words in his heart. Long Haochen continued, Although the crafting aspect is important, your own cultivation is also. You dont want a gap to appear between the others and you. Although there are not many alchemists in our Alliance, there are still some. I believe that in the whole Alliance, there is at least another outstanding alchemist. With there so many good things we are bringing back from this trip, you can at least employ some alchemist to help prepare our pills. You dont have to do everything yourself, and must allocate some time for cultivation. Also, the other resources are up for your own use. During this period of separation, no one should buy any pieces of equipment on his own, and leave Lin Xin the responsibility to buy the equipment, to avoid any wastage. Lin Xin, remember not to be afraid of spending, and only purchase equipment at least of the Legendary Tier. If some fitting Epic Tier Equipment appears, go for it. As everyone saw during that previous battle in the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass, the full force spell of the Ninth Holy Guard wasnt a forbidden spell, but something withparable power. Therefore, Lin Xin, your other mission will be to look for a forbidden spell scroll of fire element, to make up for your insufficient offensive power. Its okay for our team to have you as our only mage, and fire elemental scrolls are worth our interest. As long as you find a suitable one, you can buy it. If Long Haochens words were heard by other Demon Hunters, they would definitely be staring at him with big eyes. But their group was indeed overbearing and rich at this stage. The rest aside, the flesh of the Forest Boa King alone was already a priceless treasure. Having been recorded since long ago as an extinct magical beast, the uses of its body were as one could imagine. And the internal pill and gall of the ordinary Forest Boas were good things as well! And that was only a small part of everything they brought back from demon territory. Just the number of demons at the eighth step filled Long Haochens Eternal Melody and moreover Lin Xin had the corpse of Andromalius left. Your mission is heavy, but you have to remember that you cannot let that affect your cultivation too much, understood? Long Haochen kept warning Lin Xin. Lin Xin nodded repeatedly, his eyes returning to a red color, Boss, be at ease, I definitely wont fall behind. Long Haochen heaved up a smile, turning to the direction of Sima Xian, Sima, after returning in the Priest Temples side, you have to keep training assiduously, and not act impulsively. Ask for your teachers guidance in your training. I believe that the path of a Discipline Priest wont be an easy one, so if possible, go through the records of your Priest Temple. The Forest Boa Training Pills that Lin Xin will make will be supplied to you in priority. You only have to keep in mind not to rush impetuously in battle, andply with the arrangements of the Priest Temple. As for the retainer contract, Han Yu and you dont have to worry. After I became a gods chosen one, the restriction of distance in the contract disappeared. Between now and the time we reunite, the contract will stay about the same. Sima Xians hands were holding his bald head, lowering it without a word. He appeared savage and rough on the outside, but had quite a sensitive heart. At this moment, his face was streaked with tears, and in his mind, the scenes of battle of life and death with hisrades kept appearing. For a moment, he went totally silent. Long Haochen revealed a slight smile, And dont forget about that girl from the auction house, Feng Linger. She must have been waiting for news about you all this time. Yuanyuan, after you return to the Warrior Temple, you have to keep contact with Lin Xin. He will help you get a good weapon. Train with great effort, strive for the day you will be able to iy the seven spatial gems in the Divine Soul Shield. Yeah. Wang Yuanyuans lips were pursued up closely, staring at Long Haochen as she kept nodding repeatedly. Long Haochen forced a smile, Dont be like that everyone. Its not as if today is thest day we would see each other. This time of separation is only to be more prepared for the next time. I hope that the next time I see you all, you will have grown stronger than me. Yinger, you are actually the one I have the most expectations for. You said that it is only when you would reach the seventh step, that your ability would trulye out. You are now already a single step away from the seventh step. The next time we meet, you have to show us how strong you are. Against the expectations, Chen Yinger appeared stronger than Wang Yuanyuan in her reaction, Captain, be at ease. The next time we will meet, I wont drag the group down, and be one of the main forces of the team. Sorry, I never told you about that, but in fact, my internal spiritual energy is at 92 units. It was a lie that I told before. What? This instant, everyone couldnt help but shout? Another gods chosen one? Chen Yingers look was apologetic and sad, It was a promise that I had with my grandmother. Even as another gods chosen one with above ny units as internal spiritual energy, I am just too weak. Before reaching the seventh step, my abilities have no way to shine. Its only after reaching it that I can wield the physique of the Saint Soul Girl, and at that time, my awakening will ur instantly. At that time, I may acquire an ability tomunicate with the magical beasts just like Ye Xiaolei. Sorry to have kept this hidden from everyone. This is a secret that even in the Spiritual Temple, only Grandmother knows about. Long Haochen appeared pleasantly surprised, patting her shoulder, Yinger, theres no need for you to apologize. Everyone have their own secrets. Most of all, it is a good thing for everyone here. Since things are like that, your awakening will surely bepleted the next time we reunite! But take care to learn from Caiers lesson, at the time of your breakthrough to the seventh step, youll have to be in a safe ce, and have one of the super powerhouse of the Spiritual Temple protect you. Chen Yinger proudly replied, Captain, my goal for the next time we meet is the eighth step. I will definitely overtake everyone. Long Haochen gave out augh, All right, I am looking forward to that. The proud look on Chen Yingers face dissipated suddenly, and tears started flowing out, Captain, I want to have a hug with you all. Can I? Even though she may appear stronger than Wang Yuanyuan, her strength had its limits. Of course. Long Haochen stood, wearing the same frustrated smile on his face, and spread his arms to wee Chen Yinger; An hourter, the others returned in their respective rooms, leaving the ce for Long Haochen and Caier. They were the only couple in the team, and these lovers experienced real pain and misery. Although extremely unwilling, the rest could only leave them more time. How about we have a seat in the rooftop? Okay. Snuggling up to each other, among the two, Caier wasnt crying, only tightly gripping onto Long Haochens body. Haochen, do you think I will have regained all my memories from the past the next time we meet? Caier asked softly. Long Haochen shook his head calmly, I dont know. Caier then asked, Then do you want me to regain them? This time Long Haochen didnt give any reply. Of course, he hoped that she would recover her memories, but he didnt want her to recall of the painful things from her past either. I will definitely regain my memories. Thats because I want to know what kind of existence you were in my memories. Im sure there was a very special feeling Caier opened her eyes wide, gazing at Long Haochen. His handsome face appeared even more resplendent under the sunlight. _He is so handsome, and so strong. And more importantly, the way he treats me is so So_ Although Caier was gradually starting to ept him, the shadows in her memories were in the end wrapping in her head. She felt that it was as if a gap had formed between the two of them, as if making her to unable to face him with her true self. Lightly caressing Caiers hair, Long Haochen finally had a feeling of ease. His look was very warm. He was also able to feel the barrier that was starting to form between Caier and him, but he wasnt worried, and wouldnt press her, because he believed that no matter whether her memoriese back or not, he would one day gain back her heart. Separation would form a kind of stability, for everyone to calm down their own heart. Maybe the next time they meet, she will have really recalled everything. This temporary separation was only announcing a better reunion. Chapter 472 - Mother(II)

Chapter 472: Mother(II)

Trantor: GravityTales The two of them were seated. As the sun set off, Long Haochen sorrowfully left. Caier was still seated, as the moon took ce of the sun in the sky, tears flowed from her eyes beyond her control. I want to be with him. Long Haochen and Han Yu were travelling together, apanied with four Hidden Knights. At such a crucial stage for the war, this was the most Sheng Yue could dispatch of his forces. And their task was of course to escort them north, until they reached Knight Temple , the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. In the legends of Shengmo Dalu, it was said that dragons used to live in the north-east. For the sake of resisting dragon invasions, human from ancient times had established this Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to withstand the dragon invasions. Compared to the other mountain passes, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was in a rather smooth terrain,pletely covered in snow and ice. Snow fell all year around, and outside the mountain pass, in a veryrge range, terrible cold spread all over, and frequently, the weather phenomenon would be as severe as forbidden spell Ice and Snow Tempest. The almighty great nature became the natural barrier of this mountain pass. Therefore, despite the Knight Temple being the leader of the Six Great Temples, their Demon Resisting Mountain Pass was not frequently under attack. Moreover, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was originally set to counteract attacks from the dragons. Among the Temple Alliances great six passes, this was the most imposing one, which also possessed the most mighty weapons inherited from the ancient times. The pain from the departure became their driving force to advance. The Exorcist Mountain Pass was the nearest to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass stronghold, and Long Haochen and Han Yu were under the protection of four Hidden Knights. Alternately travelling on foot and flight everyday, it only took them five days to arrive at this mountain that houses the headquarters of the Knight Temple. Just as they were informed by the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass also suffered the attacks from the great demon armies. The battles were severe, but the situation was better than the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Before entering the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, they gained the rted informations pertaining to it. Outside were gathered the first, third and fourth elite legions, led by the Demonic Bear Demon God, and two great armies, aided by six other demon gods stationed in the area. Although the conditions outside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass were nasty, the troops garrisoned there were without exception only elites of the demon race. The army only totalled three hundred thousand troops, but their battle strength as a whole far surpassed the million on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. From the Hidden Knights, Long Haochen and Han Yu got the information that this Holy War really involved the whole of demon forces. Among the seventy two demon gods, fifty six were involved: eight per human mountain passes. The Demon God Emperor was leading seven demon gods in the rear of the great battlefield, and could potentially appear at any side of the battlefield. And in fact, the Demon God Emperor was alongside with the Moon Demon God Agares, and the Star Demon God Vassago. Put together, these three powers possessed strength that one could well imagine. And this time, the Demon Hunt Squads from the Temple Alliance yed a decisive part. At the time the demons announced theunch of the Holy War against the Temple Alliance, the top ranked Demon Hunt Squads were in the lookout for the actions of the Demon God Emperors side, ready to intervene at anytime. And because of this, the Demon God Emperor didnt join in the lot rashly. But who knew for how long this restraining effect wouldst. After five days of travel, for Long Haochen and Han Yu sadness, and their sorrow about the separations finally could be considered diluted. The 64thmander Demon Hunt Squad was temporarily disbanded. Although the separation was painful, everyone was full of determination. To strive their hardest in their cultivation, for the sake of making preparation for the time the team would reform. Why would the Temple Alliance have them disband and return to their respective Temples for training? Wasnt it precisely because of their insufficient strength, because they were not at ease letting them act freely in demon territory? Long Haochen and Caier were important targets of protection, especially Long Haochen that the Alliance decided to protect. There was his position as the cornerstone of the future resistance against demons, and the only person with the hope of destroying demon god pirs! Therefore, the Temple Alliance decided to temporarily conceal them, but the duration of this concealment was hard to determine in advance. But at least, Sheng Yue showed them a path. By breaking at least all through the seventh step, or the eighth step while gaining the title of Gold Essence Foundation Knight for Long Haochen, could they have the possibility to reform their Demon Hunt Squad and fight against the demons. Therefore, to reform as fast as possible, their only possibility was to strive their hardest in growing. For now and for the future. But against Long Haochen and Han Yus expectations, at the time they returned to the Dragon Mountain Pass City, the Knight Temple had already arranged everything for their arrival, and they had people waiting for them. Those present to wee them were not many, only a dozen or so. But when Long Haochen saw the two people at the front, he was unable to restrain his emotion anymore. Dashing forward, Long Haochen let out an emotional cry, kneeling to the ground and shouting from the bottom of his heart, Mother Right, among the two people waiting for them was his mother Bai Yue. Ever since leaving his parents in those years, Long Haochen hadnt met his parents for over five years! Seeing Bai Yue stand before his eyes, how could he not be emotional? Compared to the past, Bai Yue seemed to have lost her sickly look, but her face still looked thin and pallid. Staggering while running to meet Long Haochen, she held her child in her arms, breaking out in tears. Since young, Long Haochen had been growing up alongside his mother, and his feelings towards Bai Yue were the deepest among all. The mother and son relied on each other for survival, until Long Xingyu came to look for them, time when their family gathered atst. Having separated for such a long time, and seeing his mother in front of him, Long Haochen became extremely emotional. The one standing alongside Baib Yue wasnt his father Long Xingyu, but one of the most respected elder in Long Haochens eyes, Chief of the Knight Temple and holder of the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy, Yang Haohan, also known as Divine Knight of Defense and nning. Yang Haohan still retained the same appearance. When meeting again with mother and child, he seemed to show a concerned look. Looking at her son, Bai Yue felt as if she was far from having looked at him enough. Having not seen for five years, Long Haochen had already be a tall and big young man from the youth of these days. The childish nature on his face disappeared, in its ce was a firm and persistent look. Fondling her child softly with difficulty, Bai Yue didnt say anything. Being a mother, she had been thinking of her child for over five years. Finally meeting him, her frame of mind could be well imagined. Mother and son were crying on each others shoulders. No one disturbed them. Everyone knew that they had many feelings to vent, especially Long Haochen. This time, his team ended up disbanded, and originally feeling bad, he finally met up with his mother. In front of her, he was no more than a child, not a captain of Demon Hunt Squad. That instant, all the heavy burden on his shoulders seemed to have been relieved entirely. Han Yu stood in front of Yang Haohan, paying his respects before standing to the side. This was the first time he saw such a sight of Long Haochen. At this moment, he could feel that Long Haochen was a lot younger than him, and wasnt the same as when he acted as their captain and excellent strategist. After crying for a good while, Long Haochen was finally done venting his gloomy feelings. Immediately feeling a lot more unobstructed, he finally supported his mother to stand up. Then he paid his respects to Yang Haohan, Long Haochen salutes the Alliances chief. Grandpa Yang, are you well? Right, Yang Haohan was not only the chief of the Knight Temple, but also the chief of the Alliance. The Knight Temple wasnt the same as the other Temples. Only one who could be a Divine Knight could be a Hall Master, instead of an Auxiliary Hall Master. Therefore, at this day the Knight Temple had three Divine Knights, and three Hall Masters existing. This point was exclusive and uncontested by the other Temples. After all, the Divine Knights had always been among the strongest human powerhouse of the ninth step . Yang Haohan smiled at him faintly, nodding in response, I am well. It was tough on you, kid. Long Haochen shook his head in silence, standing wordlessly beside his mother. Yang Haohan told the fourth Hidden Knight, It was hard on you four. Please have a rest in our town if you want. The head of the Hidden Knights replied, Many thanks, Alliance Chief, but we better return. Head Sheng Yue is waiting for our report, and the Exorcist Mountain Pass still needs us. Yang Haohan didnt insist further, nodding to his words. The four Hidden Knights made their salutations to him once again, disappearing instantly afterward. As Long Haochen was safely sent to Yang Haohan, there naturally remained no more worry of danger. That was a Divine Knight, existence that even the Demon God Emperor would have to face seriously. Long Haochen finally recovered from his moody state. Lending an arm to support his mother, he asked, Mother, what about Father? Is he still in the front lines? Hearing Long Haochen mention Long Xingyu, Yang Haohan and Bai Yues expressions changed slightly. Bai Yue replied gently, Son, we will be speaking of the matter after entering the city. An ominous feeling filled Long Haochens heart. His eyes shrank suddenly, Mother, father, he, hes The human and demon campaign took ce for so many years. Although Long Xingyu was a Divine Knight, dying in the battlefield wasnt impossible for him. For a moment, Long Haochen felt as if his chest was stuck with a sharp de, his cheeks bing totally red. Seeing her sons face, Bai Yue immediately became anxious, Haochen, dont have stray thoughts. Your father is not necessarily having issues. Long Haochen asked in a rush, Just what happened? Mother, quickly tell me. Bai Yue seemed unable to keep the matter concealed any longer. Letting out a deep sigh, she said, Foolish boy, do you know why your father and mother left you back then? Long Haochen replied without any hesitation, Didnt he tell me that a chick under his fathers protection would never grow wings on his own? Isnt that why he had made sure that I would put great efforts in training, and experience a lot and improve myself to meet up with you in r Knight Temple in the future? Chapter 473 - Mother (III)

Chapter 473: Mother (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Bai Yue lightly shook his head, This was just one of the reasons. More importantly, your father didnt want the small you to worry about him. We left because he had to fight the Seventh Demon God Amun. Thats the reason why we separated. Soon after we returned to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, your father had a decisive battle against Amun. What? Long Haochen was astonished. Until this moment, he didnt know that his father actually had such reasons for leaving at that time. For a moment, he couldnt help but feel bewildered. Yang Haohan, who arrived at his side at some point, raised his hand, pouring a gentle breeze of holy spiritual energy in him, easing Long Haochens mind with its warmth. Kid, calm down. With your fathers strength, his odds of victory against Amun are at least of sixty percent. Although he has yet toe back from that fight, the demon side didnt announce Amuns victory either. This battle only belongs to the two of them. Why hasnt fathere back? Can he be..? Long Haochens head was full of worries. Yang Haohan shook his head, Your father is certainly still alive. Thats because as a Divine Knight, if he were to die in battle, his Divine Throne would automatically return to the Alliance. But seeing that his Divine Throne hasnte back until now, he is still alive. Its just that we dont know where he is. He is certainly busy with important matters, and thats why he hasnte back. Dont worry too much. We have been sending people in search of him all this time. At Yang Haohans exnation, Long Haochen finally calmed down. With his intelligence, after calming down, his brain started operating rapidly, asking the question, Yang Haohan, since my father isnt back yet, that Amun should be taking part in that holy war, right? Yang Haohan nodded, Among the eight demon gods assigned to our Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass is Amun. With Saminaga, the two of them aremanding the demon armies alongside. Long Haochen asked, Then, could we ask that Amun about the whereabouts of my father? Yang Haohan sighed, Hardly. Amun is not like the other demon gods. He is known as Berserk Demon God. Among the demons, no one is more fond of fighting than him. Even as the seventh demon god, he doesnt have subordinates of his race. Some time in the past, the Berserk Demon n wanted to enter under his wing, but were forcefully rejected. The reason for that was simply that Berserk Demons are too weak and unfit to be associated to him. In Amuns mind, theres only fighting. Hes also the demon god who ughtered the most powerhouses of our Alliance. In times of battle, hes just a madman. But Amun has his good points. All he likes is good battles, and he doesnt even find it worth to attack ordinary soldiers far weaker than him. All the ones he ughtered were the most strong powerhouses of our Temple Alliance Among your father and Amun, there has already been over four battles, each of which was extremely bitter and none of them managed to finish the opponent. But they also built some friendship. Your father and Amun agreed that until a victor is decided between the two of them, they wont lightly let themselves get involved in battles. So even if Amun is there, hes actually mostly here as a deterrence against your fathers existence. In the past the demons under him alreadyunched many probing attacks. Those times, he didnt appear in any of the battles. From this, it can be seen that your father cant be in big trouble. Amun is also looking for him. Berserk Demon God, Amun! Long Haochens fists were unconsciously clenched. In his head, the deepest memory was that of Long Xingyus summoning the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. The lofty figure of his father was deeply engraved in his mind. _One day, I will also challenge this Berserk Demon God!_ Yang Haohan smiled, Lets go. I believe that in the future, you will certainly be an even more outstanding Divine Knight than your father. I am full of expectations for the earlier arrival of that day. At that time, maybe you will be the nightmare of these demons. Go then, we have to go to town. In the immediate future, you are going to be pretty busy. Mh? Long Haochen cast a doubtful nce at Yang Haohan, unsure of what he meant. But he followed him to the city. Seeing her sons mood easing down, Bai Yue secretly rxed. Her face had imperceptibly a better look. Warmly supporting her son by the arm, she came to think, _My little Haochen has grown._ Whileing to the city, Yang Haohan told Long Haochen, I got the news about you from Sheng Yue. Although we were originally had great expectations towards you, you gave us one nice surprise after another that were beyond our imagination. Bing the youngest general grade Demon Hunt Squad ever seen, youngestmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. You are even more outstanding than your father in those days, and by a lot. When the old Qiu from the Warrior Temple told me that you would surely be a Divine Knight before your reached your thirties, I used to believe he was exaggerating, but now, it seems that he was indeed right! Even before you reached eighteen, you already reached the seventh step! Long Haochens face flushed slightly, Grandpa Yang, dont exaggerate. Its the first time Iming to our Knight Temple. I wonder, what have you nned for me next? Yang Haohan had a smile on his face, Are you thinking that we had youe back to hide you in a very secretive ce, so that the demons wont find you? Long Haochen was startled, but unconsciously nodded to his words. That was actually where his thoughts hinted. Yang Haohan shook his head, No, youre wrong. If were to do so, we would only be stifling your talent, and perhaps there would always be a shadow in your heart. Our report to the rest of the Alliance is one thing, but our n is another. We have already decided to strive our best to nurture you. And the battlefield is the best ce for a knight to be. Long Haochen was pleasantly surprised. It was the first time he heard such news from the Temple Alliance, Grandpa Yang, are you permitting me to step into the battlefield? Thats perfect, so when is that for? Can I go now? For some reason, after their team got disbanded, Long Haochens infantile nature seemed to have been entirely set free. Losing some of his calm demeanor as captain, he seemed a lot more dynamic. Yang Haohanughed in spite of himself, How eager of you! You will certainly have to step into the battlefield, but it wont be so fast. Han Yu and you will have to satisfy two conditions first, before being sent into real battles. Please tell us. Long Haochen asked without hesitation. Yang Haohan replied, Your cultivation has increased by quite a lot, but how about your technical side? I know that you bought some skills in Holy City, but they are far from enough. I will arrange a series of techniques for you to study and the first thing youll have to do will be to familiarize yourself with their use. Dont think it will be so easy. Some techniques are not executable without great effort. Long Haochen nodded. This was something he originally had to do. Yang Haohan continued, As a second point, you will have to be Mythril Foundation Knights. After getting your hands on Mythril Foundation Armors, your ability to defend yourselves will go up enormously. At the same time, it will make it even harder for the demons to spot your existences. These conditions cant be regarded as too hard, you can see from this that I am not making it too hard on you guys. Long Haochen became overjoyed at these news, No problem, no problem. I will strive my hardest to train in these techniques, to gain the right to step into the battlefield as soon as possible. Yang Haohan let out a smile, Oho? It looks that you arent even putting the Mythril Foundation Knight test in your eyes. Long Haochen scratched his head in embarrassment, still giving the reply, I believe that I will be able to pass it. On the other side, Han Yu had a pained face. He was now at the sixth step of cultivation, but to participate in the Mythril Foundation Knights test, having the seventh step was basic requirement. And moreover, Mythril Foundation Knight are all existences at the peak of the seventh step. With Long Haochens current strength, passing the test was no issue, but to him, it wasnt that easy. Yang Haohan had a mysterious smile on his face, Dont take this trial so lightly. You are not the same as the others. You have as special constitution as a Scion of Light, and are one designated as the next sessor as our Knight Temples chief. Any examination will be harsher on you than others. You wille to understand when the timees. Yes Sir. Long Haochen gave this reply without batting an eye. The worse situation would be for him to be locked up in protection. If things went that way, it would really be hard to bear. As for some passing some trial, he was confident enough about that. Even if his current strength was insufficient, after some time of cultivation, he was bound to seed. This was his confidence in his strength, as well as his talent. The range of the Dragon Resisting Demon Pass was quiterger than the Exorcist Mountain Pass. It was in fact a very high mountain by itself, and the whole stronghold was dug on it. After entering the mountain pass, Long Haochen had the faint feeling that an extremely terrifying aura was present in the neighbourhood of this mountain peak. Although he didnt know what this was, he could faintly guess that this should be an ultimate weapon of the Knight Temple. Although the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass didnt have natural protection like the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass, the vile weather made it very hard to get supplies in this side. To preserve the natural resources in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the humans would at least store three year of provisions. Be it in the front or the back, the surrounding area was a cialnd. Although the great demon armies were garrisoned in front of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, their days werent spentfortably. Terrible ice storms happened almost every two days, and even powerhouses of the sixth step without defense from the cold of the camp, could hardly survive for a long time. But even these camps defense would frequently be overpowered by the tempests. For this reason, although the demon armies were already garrisoned for some time, their attacks werent so strong. Using ice and snow they built a simple fortress, making it this way the demon armies a bit morefortable. After all, to break through the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was not a matter of one or two days. This time, demons invested a lot, as if taking out the savings made for many years to courageouslyunch the assault. Chapter 474 - A letter coming from the frontlines (I)

Chapter 474: A lettering from the frontlines (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Yang Haohan arranged for Long Haochen and Han Yu to stay at the headquarters. Long Haochen was living next to his mothers home. After spending two days by her side, he started to train alongside Han Yu. The Knight Temples headquarters were situated inside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, deep underground. This was the real treasury of the Knight Temple. With the Knights Sacred Mountain in the south side, these two were called great treasuries of the Knight Temple. Reportedly, the Divine Thrones were in these treasures buried underground this. Its just that Long Haochen and Han Yu were now far from qualified to gain more knowledge about the Divine Thrones. To Long Haochens surprise the Knight Temple didnt look as imposing the Assassin Temple or the Warrior Temple. Thats because, inside the mountain, he could only discern a room made of rock, and couldnt even get a feel of where the real foundation of the Knight Temple was located. Yang Haohan didnt give them exnation, only arranging a cave for them, before leaving. And he told them that at their cultivation level, they would need to be able to disy all the abilities of the seventh step toe out from this cave. Entering the cave, Long Haochen immediately had a feeling simr to when he was in Holy Citys Alliances Great Treasury. The surrounding fluctuations of spiritual energy were very strong. Their golden radiance gave an illusory feel. Originally, he was walking in the same cave as Han Yu, but upon checking again, he found out with great surprise that thetter disappeared. Surrounded by a pure spiritual energy of light element, gave a kind of pleasurable feeling. Abundant light essence filled Long Haochens three great spiritual cavities at every breath he took. Without hurrying his steps, Long Haochen sat down, his spiritual energy rising abundantly. However, he was far from his optimum state due to hisck of focus. Since the day they returned from Andromalius Province, he did not have a single moment of calm. Several emotional upheavals followed after his return to the Exorcist Mountain, causing him to be greatly excited. Even the calmness brought by the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon turned out to be ineffective. However, the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon gave him understanding of how to attain this state of calmness and focus. So Long Haochen knew what to do after sitting down. He needed to expel all his distracting thoughts, until not even the slightest one would remain. Only this way would he be able to attain a state of total cultivation, making the greatest progress in the smallest amount of time possible. Shutting his eyes, the seated Long Hao Chen entered in his meditative stance. Synchronising with the soft light essence in the air, his face looked a lot more gentle. In a flicker of golden light, Yating appeared without a sound behind Long Haochen. She sat cross-legged, and shut her eyes just like Long Haochen. The staff in her hands was aloft, and cliques of golden light gathered naturally in their direction. Condensing and filtering all of it. What Yating was doing seemed simple, but it provided a massive help to Long Haochen. Having to deal with an extremely pure light essence made it a lot easier for Long Haochen to absorb it. Yang Haohan silently stood in a room, and at his back were two other people. On his left side was a tall and round elder, looking quite pleased. On his other side was a man d entirely in grey, which even concealed his face. In front of Yang Haohan was a crystal ball of over a meter diameter. Spreading out slight golden light, on that crystal ball appeared the cross-legged Long Haochen, inside the Temples treasure cave. Yang Haohan smiled, To be able to remain so calm after entering the Illusory Cave, this kid has really grown. And hes not even eighteen yet! To show such a steady attitude, it seems that Xingyu was right. Through these years of experience, this kid really made something of himself. That round elder at Yang Haohans back snorted, Right about what? I said long before, I wanted to take Haochen under my wing, but he just refused. Humph. Saying that, he shot a nce to the grey d man whose face was concealed. Yang Haohan smiled, Brother Long, dont be so cheap. Without Xingyu, would you have such a good grandson? And you havent even introduced yourself to him. The glorious mission of protecting this grandson of yours is yours. Although hes your grandson, hes also the hope of the future of our Knight Temple. If hes wounded in any way, I will revoke you from the task of protecting him, and personally undertake it. If Long Haochen were to hear these words, he would surely be greatly shocked. That severe looking elder was his biological grandfather. If he were to look at him face to face, he wouldnt find much simrity in his looks. Give me a break from all this! You may be a bit stronger than me, but not by a lot. Even if the Demon God Emperores, I wont let him hurt my grandson in the slightest. The round elder seemed to have suddenly gained a domineering aura. Some pure gold fluctuation regally surrounded his body, without a sound. This elder named Long Tianying, is another Divine Knight of the Temple Alliance, holder of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, Divine Knight of Control and Restraint. Let alone Long Haochen, even inside the Knight Temple, only very few higher-ups know about the rtionship between Long Tianying and Long Xingyu. This was a standard rule in the Long family. No matter how strong the elders are, the younger generations must not borrow from their reputation, relying only on their own abilities. Back then Long Xingyu also relied on his own efforts, finally bing a Divine Knight. Yang Haohan let out a sigh, This time, the demons areing tumultuously. The Holy Wars oue seems still hard to predict. Even the elders kept in reserve by the Alliance came out from their mountains, but the demon powerhouses are still a lot more than us. Hopefully the Alliances battle ns will be able to be carried out sessfully. Long Tianying asked, Isnt that just about procrastinating? We can keep dragging, and contest on the resources. Approaching it this way, demons are bound to lose. In this holy war, we are the only one with the ability tost indefinitely. You will see, a few yearster, demonkind will be close to exhaustion in terms of food. Yang Haohan replied, The Demon God Emperor surely thought of that before. Brother Long, dont be so optimistic. The other grey d person dered, I am going now. Since Haochen returned to the Alliance, I can be at ease. Long Tianying wrinkled in his brows, Where are you heading for? The grey d mans voice was full of killing intent, Demon rear. After saying this, he turned and walked away big strides. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan exchanged nces, Brother Yang, after Haochenes out from the Illusory Cave, I want to meet him, and carry out his examination personally. How does it sound? Yang Haohan nodded, This matter is to be left between you grandson and you. Do as you want. However, Im not expert in city defense. The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass cannot do without you watching over. Long Tianying nodded to these words, I wont make itst long. Im returning to closed doors cultivation, notify me when Haochenes out. Yes. Was Long Haochen as calm as he looked? That was not the case. At the instant he shut his eyes, various images bubbled forth in him. Caiers figure holding her cane was the first, followed by the time of her sudden awakening as a gods chosen one. Then, it instantly changed into the time she was seated in her room, at the time they were separating. After Caier, came the image of his father, who was strictly watching over him, and seemed to be telling him something. Then followed his mother. Her eyes were still mncholic and sad. Since young, he was separated from his both parents for long periods of time. Having not been together for over ten years, they finally reunited with difficulty. His father disappeared because of a difficult battle, and thesest few years, his mother was subject to a pain no one could imagine. The appearance of hisrades also surged to Long Haochens mind. Since their first battle in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, to the great battle of the hissing caverns, then the episode in the Southern Mountain Pass, the Illusory Paradise, the Swamps of Gloom. All these scenes flickered very distinctly in Long Haochens head. In these circumstances, how could he keep himself calm? Faintly feeling chills on his back, Long Haochen was fully aware that it was fortunate that he managed to keep calm, and didnt dare advance prematurely, otherwise, his mind could go mad. The worries that were filling him could be pushed down, but they were bound to affect his resolution gradually, affecting the pure heart of a gods chosen one. His exchanges with the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon were not many, but one of his most important points was that the gods chosen one of light was not the same as the others. His greatest advantage is simply the perfection of his soul, and gifts. This is something that Caier, as the one chosen by the God of Death, couldntpare to. But this perfection was also his biggest issue. Being too perfect permits imperfections to appear easily. As a proof, at the times the past Divine Snails of Sun and Moon appeared, didnt the gods chosen ones all sink into evil? Not only diverging from saving the continent, they instead became sinners. This was especially the case for that Divine Gigantic Dragon or the master of the Tower of Eternity, Slumbering Cmity Elux. Therefore, self-awareness is a very important point to the gods chosen ones of light. At the time the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon departed this world, he left Long Haochen only a shell, but before departing, his final strength help Long Haochen clean his heart. This was not something he did, but something he transmitted, instructing Long Haochen how to do. Right, self-awareness. Only by remaining always self-aware, keeping a clear mind and clear heart, the Scion of Light will remain himself forever. Thank you, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. Long Haochen murmured sincerely.

Trantor: GravityTales Not trying to contradict his own feelings, he instead let them burst out entirely. Long Haochen knew that just by sensing their existence, the suffering in his heart and the continuous absorption of light would both dim down. After who knows how much time, he finally entered a meditative state. Sitting on Long Haochens back, Yating sensed the changes in Long Haochen most effectively. As a light fairy, her affinity with light was iparable to anything else in this world, because her body could be described as a manifestation of light. At the time Long Haochen just started cultivating, in Yatings senses, her master was only just silently absorbing light essence. But as he calmed down, and really entered in meditative state, Long Haochens body appeared to be transparent to Yatings eyes. Taking breaths sessively, he seemed to have entered a state of Brilliant Body. And the light essence Yating helped him absorb started to be insufficient for him. In fact, it was after her fusion with the Saint Spiritual Stove that Yating gained the ability to process spiritual energy. Through her, light essence didnt only be extremely pure, but also highly concentrated. The fact that Long Haochen managed to keep such a monstrous absorption speed made it so that at each breath of this, his internal spiritual kept strengthening. This was one of the benefits in the brilliant heart of a scion of light. With his heart devoid of any impurity, Long Haochen gained the greatest blessing of the goddess of light. With light essence entering him naturally, how could his cultivation speed not be fast? In this warm light essence, Long Haochen gradually soaked, soaking very deep inside. He gradually let go of everything burdening his heart, gathering all his attention in theprehension of light. The brilliance around his body started to gain intensity, to the extent that through the crystal ball, Yang Haohan took notice of these gradual changes. However, this Divine Knight of Defense and nning couldnt possibly watch Long Haochen for too long. The war was on the horizon, and he had many other matters to handle. This month was known in theter generations record as the continent of Shengmo Dalus Moonbath. Demons and humans had amassed rancor for several thousand years, and let it burst out all at once. With the Six Great Strongholds as battlefield, the demons attacked while the Temple Alliance defended. Reportedly, in every of these main battlefields, when looking down from a height, one could see blood evaporate in the air. This was a meat-grinding war: be it in attack or defense, the demon sides loss was far higher than the humans. But the demons military was also a lot more populous than the humans. At the start of the battle, the humans defensive instruments proved out to be of massive use, causing great losses to the demon side. But as the battles progressed, these instruments started to be ruined. Now all the humans could rely on was the terrain advantage. This was a showdown confronting two races, without need for war mobilization, all the warriors in the Temple Alliance used their flesh and blood to protect thest bits of human territory. On the rear were ins, where their families of everyone lived; the Knight Temple, the Warrior Temple, the Assassin Temple, the Mage Temple, the Priest Temple and the Spirit Temple. Powerhouses of any of the Temples had only one thing in mind in this Holy War: fight with their all. Although the demon offensive was fierce, the human willpower was just too tenacious. The forces amassed over several thousand years by the Temple Alliance were truly imposing, andrge amount of goods and troops kept amassing without end, to support the unending battles against demons. At the time of this Holy War pertaining to the fate of these two groups, the fuse and main perpetrator of this war, Long Haochen, was sitting calmly in the Knight Temples Treasure Cave, cultivating assiduously. Holy City, Alliances Great Auction. Feng Linger was overlooking the financial report of this month. She had already started to gradually take control of diverse affairs in the Alliances Great Auction. After the start of the Holy War, the Alliances Great Auction House entered a state of emergency. All their weapons and equipment, resources, material, magic crystals were put out of the auctions. The auction house had umted a lot of goods, which were all supplied to the Alliance without exception. This was originally the meaning of the Alliances Great Auction House. As its sessor, Feng Linger knew very clearly that the Alliances Great Auction House actually didnt belong to her family, but to the whole Temple Alliance. The reason for showing it as an independent force was to conceal the real strength of the Alliance. At the start of the Holy War, the financial resources umted by the Alliances Great Auction House proved to be essential. The various auction houses became the biggest providers of weapons and tools using spiritual energy. Through a strict process of collection in the Great Auction House, the various powerful weapons, magical crystals and even many types of magical cannons-like weapons were transported to the front line. This was wealth umted through thousands of years. The whole process was not even totally clear to Feng Linger, because many of the depot of the Great Auction House were ssified as total secrets, only to be unsealed at times of great wars against demons. Rubbing her eyes out of tiredness, Feng Linger leaned on a seat, her limpid eyes filled with an intense worry. _Will the Alliance really make it?_ The demons arrival was just too sudden. In fact, the Demon God Emperor actually took a person as condition of ending. And that was this captain! Werent they right in the heart of the struggle? Thinking of this point, for some reason, Feng Linger felt as if her own heart tightened. Faintly, a tall figure appeared in her head. A bright bald head, and a straightforward smile. The most unforgettable thing was the imperceptible sense of satisfaction she had when he looked at her. Is he Still alive? With a slight shiver, Feng Linger unconsciously tightened her fair hands. Right at this time, knocks could be heard. Enter. Feng Linger immediately suppressed her surging emotions. Lowering her head, she refocused her sights on the ount book. Miss Linger, a letter hase for you. A staff member opened the door and ced a letter on her desk, before performing a respectful salute and leaving. _A letter?_ Feng Linger unconsciously seized that letter. It was a parchment with a magic imprint on, for secrecys sake. If forcefully taken, the seal would disappear and cause the contents of the letter to self-destruct. Only a specific incantation could open it. Beside this scroll, was a letter, hinting to the incantation in question. Feng Linger had a lot of experience receive letters in this kind of parchments, but at the time she discovered the words hinting on those incantation words, she got up in excitement. Call out my name, little pure flower. Haha. Bastard! Its that bastard! Only he would call me this. Its the bastard Sima Xian. So you were still alive At the time she said thesest words, Feng Linger couldnt stop her tears from falling down. In this period of war, just being alive seemed to be the greatest happiness. Dang. With a loud sound, the magic imprint on the parchment was deactivated, and the scroll unfolded. That persons handwriting wasnt praiseworthy, but by chance the words were still legible. Miss Linger, my apologies for calling you little pure flower once again. If you can see this letter, it means that you can still remember my name. Sima feels extremely honored about that. I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news to tell you. The good news is that I am still alive, and am already back in our Alliance, in our Priest Temples headquarters located in the Southern Mountain Pass. The bad news is that I am still in the front line, and my Demon Hunt Squad has temporarily been disbanded. As a Discipline Priest of the new age, I will make sure to defend our Temple. I originally didnt want to write this sealed letter. I estimated that even if you were to see the contents, youd only sigh in disdain upon receiving it. But ever since returning from the demon territory, in the joy of being alive, I unawarely think of you in my dreams every night. So I couldnt help but write this letter to you. Love at first sight is a blessing, but also a great pain. I really want to see you again, but just dont know if I will have another opportunity for that in this lifetime. Someone like me doesnt have any extravagant demands. It doesnt even matter if you like me. Please take this letter as a farewell. I hope that you be able to achieve happiness in the future. Even in gods embrace, I will be praying for you. Please be at ease. As a man that likes you extremely deeply, I, Sima Xian, am not a coward. I will pour every drop of my blood in the battlefield until the end. Every time I battle against demons, Ie to think that for every demon I kill, you will be a bit safer. My head and my Energetic Ball of Light are made of the same steel. Foolishly gazing at this letter, Feng Linger stood unmoving for a long time. Tears started to gradually drip from her face, and a particr emotion buried in her heart seemed to have resurfaced. Fiercely, she grabbed a parchment and the time she picked up a pen, she found out with surprise that her hand was actually trembling slightly. After stabilizing her emotions with difficulty, she rapidly wrote on the parchment. Bastard, you know clearly well that I am unwilling for you to call me little pure flower, so why do you keep doing this? I hate you, and hate your freaking baldie face. But if you die in the frontline, I will hate you forever. You have toe back to me alive, no matter how long it takes. Also, send me letters. If your next letter doesnt arrive within the next three months, this girl will immediately marry off, not even letting you die at peace. In the blink of an eye, three months passed. No one expected that, but the first one toe out wasnt the clearly stronger Long Haochen, but Han Yu. In three months time, Han Yu learnt all the abilities of the sixth step he was given, including many secret techniques. The Illusory Cave is the ce where the real techniques of the Knight Temple were present. Inside are not only the conventional techniques, but also secret techniques left by sessive generations of Divine Knights! Those who gained the right to enter all gave heroic contribution to the Alliance, and would be part of the new generation that would lead the Alliance. Chapter 476 - A letter coming from the frontlines (III)

Chapter 476: A lettering from the frontlines (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen and Han Yu had the qualification, besides Long Haochen being a gods chosen one, they made the unprecedented aplishment of destroying a demon god. This feat alone bestowed them the qualification. Aftering out, Han Yu was informed that Long Haochen was, against all expectations, still inside . Learning this, he chose to cultivate behind close doors without hesitation. One of the condition Yang Haohan gave him was to be a Mythril Foundation Knight. Although he already learnt all the abilities at the sixth step, his spiritual energy was still far from the ten thousand units. Yang Haohan came to observe Long Haochen who knows how many times, but his expression wasnt as calm as the beginning, on the contrary it started to show some worry. The Holy War had been going on for three months already. The Dragon Resisting Mountain was subject to enormous pressure, and as Divine Knights, both Long Tianying and himself joined the battle long ago. Just two days ago, he was in arge struggle against the demon god of death Saminaga. In terms of cultivation, Yang Haohan was quite inferior, but by the means of the great might of the Divine Throne of Defense and Mercy, he stopped the advance of the Demon God of Death. The Saint Knights and Temr Knights of the Temple Alliance were all blood soaked every day, resisting the enemies in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. The ice and snow on the ground in over a kilometer circumference was dyed red, and both sides casualties were incalcble. Although there were natural ressources kept in reserve in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, it was not the same as the other strongholds. In a situation of siege, it would be very hard to get supplies from the Alliance, and even news was difficult to be transmitted. With such consumption Yang Haohan didnt know for how long this mountain pass wouldst. The demons outside already got reinforcements three times, and the damage inflicted by the vile environment to the demons was very high. Their fighting strength was far from being disyed at their maximum because of this. The several hundred ice mages defending the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass also proved out to be of decisive use. They all drew support from the natural stronghold formed by the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass unceasingly reinforcing its defense, attacking the enemies. Haochen, how is it that you are not showing the slightest movement? Looking at the enormous crystal ball in front of him, Yang Haohan murmured resolutely. Indeed, since entering the Illusory Cave, Long Haochen was seated and cultivating in that ce. At the start, Yang Haohan praised him for being able to cultivate calmly, but now it has been three months, and Long Haochen was still the same state, cultivating cross-legged all this time. His body let out faint golden ripples, and his whole body had the transparent feeling from the use of Brilliant Body. At every breath he took, his body spread out a golden radiance that flickered indistinctly. Without a doubt, he wasnt encountering troubles. But wasnt this meditative seance too long? Yang Haohan whose experience regarding cultivating was plentiful understood that Long Haochen was now in a state of deep meditation. But it was unheard for a single session of deep meditation tost so long. Deep meditation would generally ur to powerhouses of the eighth step or above. Thats because after reaching this level, the spiritual energy would raise to a really high speed. But an overly fast increase of ones spiritual energy would result in unsteady foundation. asionally needing to cultivate in a state of deep meditation enabled a better elemental absorption, and a better harmonization. For Long Haochen whos a gods chosen one, Yang Haohan didnt find it extraordinary that he would be able to perform deep meditation at the seventh step of cultivation. But generally, deep meditation would generally terminate after about a month. For one session tost longer than that was very rare. Of course, as the time of meditation lengthened, its results would naturally be better. It would also mean few distracting thoughts, and being able to bear loneliness. After all, being soaked daily in the light essence was a very lonesome and tedious process. Yang Haohan didnt expect at all that three months was, to this session of Long Haochens deep meditation, the mere beginning. Time passed, day after day. Both humans or demons, had a limit to their workforce. After the frantic attacks of the first few months, the demon attacks gradually slowed down. The Demon God Emperor passed two diplomatic notes to the Alliance, demanding Long Haochen, only being answered with t rejection. As for Long Haochen, it appeared as if he had evaporated, not appearing from beginning to end. The battles were still ongoing, and just as the Alliance hoped, no real demon powerhouses came out in the initial stages, both sides disying their strength little by little. However, the strangest thing in the Alliances eyes was that the Demon God Emperor, even in his position as the greatest demon powerhouse, had yet to join the battle. And that was not only him, but also the Moon Demon God, and the Star Demon God who had yet toe out. And in the same way, the Devil Dragons, Moon Demons and Star Demons had all yet to be deployed. Right because they had yet to take part, the Temple Alliance did not dare lower their guard even as the battle dragged on. The guards of the six forts were all under extreme pressure. In fact, one should know that in case the Demon God Emperor brought the Moon and Star demon gods in the battlefield, none of the forts could possibly hold out. Of course, the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God and Star Demon God would inevitably face the ultimate resistance from the strongest Demon Hunt Squad, and that would be the inevitable decisive battle. After analysing their intelligence, they deduced that it should be due to somest restraining fears in the Demon God Emperors heart that he didntunch a final sh. After all, in case they didnt turn out sessful, the loss would be enormous! Although the demon side held the advantage, they had no way of totally overpowering the human side. The most likely result was to see both sides mutually injured. And the mutual destruction of the both sides could happen in many ways. If the cost for this result was the life of the Demon God Emperor, the demons would definitely not be able to bear that. After all, against the humans creativity and knowledge, plus all the resources the Temple Alliance umted over all this time, they would surely be a lot faster to stand back up. In contrast, an absolute powerhouse such as the Demon God Emperor couldnt be something they could regain in one day or two. A prolonged battle could definitely not be said to be advantageous to the demon side, but the demons ferocity surpassed the Temple Alliances expectations. As the demon side didnt have sufficient food supply, the corpses in the battlefield became their means of nourishment, be it the human or the demon corpses. This cruel fact was arge blow for the humans. It turned out that the Demon God Emperor didnt mind having a prolonged battle. One year following the start of the Holy War, the Temple Alliances total poption went down by a tenth, while the amount of demons declined by twenty percent. The setback was considerable for both races, and the whole continent could be said to be in total turmoil due to the Holy War. In a tent in the midst of the Demon God Emperors army. Feng Xiu was sitting upright on his throne. The whole tent was actually devoid of any demon troops, absolutely empty. Only one person was sitting inside, and that was the Moon Demon God Agares. Your Majesty, if this goes on, we dont know for how long wellst. The food is really too scarce, and food is starting to rot. When the weather warms up, the situation will be more serious. Just like the summer of thest year. Agares started to show some worry in his face. Feng Xiu asked calmly, Second brother, then what should we be doing? Agares let out a cold smile on his face, A decisive battle, against humans. They cannot possibly stop joint full attacks from the three of us. As long as we smash one of the human strongholds, our armies will be able to invade them thoroughly. The other battles will undoubtedly get affected by that. And at that time, all humans will die, and we will gain control of the whole continent. The demon god Feng Xiu shook his head, If I wanted to thoroughly wipe out humans, I wouldnt have been waiting until now. Wouldnt the start of the Holy War have been the perfect moment? Oh? Agares seemed gave the Demon God Emperor a puzzled look, clearly not getting what he meant. Feng Xiu stood up slowly, both hands behind his back. Gazing at the door of the tent, his look seemed to pierce the heavens, setting his eyes into another world? In truth, if we hadnt given humans time, they would have gone extinct since long. Maybe we didnt have the ability to wipe out humans at the time of our descent in this world, but with the pse of time, starting from the second generation of Demon God Emperor, the overwhelming majority of the continent was controlled by us. We had already had a Holy War directed against humans, and they lostpletely all strength. But, my ancestor, second Demon God Emperor didnt choose to do so. And he left a secret instruction, ordering his descendents that no Demon God Emperor may lead the demon armies to annihte all humanity. Do you know why? Certainly, what Feng Xiu said was an absolute secret. Hearing that, Agares was stunned. Your Majesty, I wouldnt dare. Agares stood up in a haste, bowing down in respect. Feng Xiu strolled to his front, supporting his head with the hand, I am willing to disclose this secret to you because my faith in you is absolute. We cannot annihte humanity, because if we lose them, demons are bound for destruction. Coming to this world, we relied on gue to create the demon race. At the beginning, it was in truth only us seventy-two brothers. Our innate talents have an immense defect and thats ourselves. You know clearly where we are from, and how we came to this world. Although we can pass on our strength, theres nothing more we can create. If we wipe out all humans one day, or reduce them all to very, given the current demon mentality, a short timeter, humans are bound to go extinct from the continent. Following this, all races will suffer the same fate. In the end, only us demons will remain. But how can we survive only by ourselves?f Chapter 477 - The Revelation from Great Prophecy Technique (I)

Chapter 477: The Revtion from Great Prophecy Technique (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu suddenly had a depressed and frustrated look, If only us remain, there will be no enemies left to find. And we will only be able to destroy ourselves. And in the end, we seventy-two brothers will have no choice but return back through the seventy-two demon god pirs, as this world will have be full of barrennd, just like that world we used to live. Thoroughly destroyed. Agares calmly nodded, Yes. We were unable to create anything, much less make use of the things in this world to create new ones. In front of our darkness attribute, any organism would hardly take a satisfying shape. You are right, if humans are really destroyed by our hands and entirely ruled over, we will only be walking towards destruction. Feng Xiu smiled to him, Its good that you understand. For this reason, the Temple Alliance was actually raised in confinement by us demons, so that they dont grow too strong. We couldnt let them be wiped out, and had to let them develop. Only this way would our living conditions be better. Wars are just a show. Since we are raising them in confinement, we cannot let them be too powerful either. Meanwhile, its only by borrowing their hands that we can reduce our own numbers. Achieving a bnce will be most profitable. And thats one of the reasons for meunching this war. After over several thousand years of growth, the forces humans umted are just enormous. We had to weaken them to such extent. Otherwise, some timeter, their horn of counterattack is sure to blow. This is something we cannot afford. To them, making this Holy War a prolonged battle seems very effective, but isnt it the same for us? There will be a need for a decisive battle, but the time has note yet. Agares wrinkled his brows, But what about Austin Griffin? Whats to be done about him? Looking at the humans, we wont be able to reach an agreement. The Demon God Emperors eyes became cold at once, We need to destroy Austin Griffin, thats a matter of fact. No matter what the cost is, he cannot be left alive in this world. Compared to our self-destruction, Austin Griffin is a far more terrifying thing. Andromalius death was the rm bell to us. He is another important reason for this Holy War.. Agares replied, But can we really catch him? Wed need to have control over every single ce in the world for that! Feng Xiu shook his head, Thats not the case at all. Third brother went in seclusion for one year. I had the premonition that he wille out today. As the brain of our demon race, he will tell us what we should do next. Hearing him say this, the Moon Demon God Agares was greatly shocked, Are you saying that third brother Feng Xiu nodded with a sad look on his face, Yes. For the prosperity of our demon race, third brother paid too much of a price. But this was the best choice. Boss is right. This was the best choice for us. An orange figure condensed in the air, and the Star Demon God Vassago soundlessly appeared in front of the Demon God Emperor and the Moon Demon God. From the looks, he didnt appear any different than in the past, but if one was to carefully observe him, he would find out that his expression was a lot more bleak than usual, less expressive, and he looked a lot more tired and aged. Seeing him appear, the Demon God Emperor couldnt help but feel excited, unconsciously stepping forward, Third brother, how is your body? With a smile on his face, Vassago shook his head, Its nothing, Boss. I just lost some of my life expectancy. But this times Great Prophecy summon was worth it. Want to hear about the result? Feng Xiu forced a bitter smile, If I had the choice, I would have preferred you to avoid doing that. You didnt just lose a bit of your life expectancy. I can sense that your life force has decreased by at least a hundred years. And the life expectancy of your Star Demon n is originally not that long. This time, your body has been quite damaged. Beside him, the Moon Demon God Agares also walked by, holding Vassagos shoulder. Although he didnt say anything, his expression was full of emotion. Emotionally, the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, Star Demon God were without doubt the closest of the crew. But the Demon God Emperor had after all his own obligations, as the ruler of the demon race. If the survival of his race was threatened, even his own child would be sacrificed without hesitation. For this reason, the Moon Demon God and the Star Demon God were actually his closest people. They were like a pair of brothers for the demons. So even if the Death Demon God Saminagas Fiend n was considerably powerful, it would pale in front of the Star and the Moon Demon ns. So in front of Agares and Vassago, Saminaga was very respectful. Vassago smiled, All right, second brother, no need to be like that. Ill feel bad if you treat me that way. Life force can still be recovered after being lost you know. Let me tell you the results then, they are very important to us now. Reaching this point, his expression became serious, and vaguely, one could see his eyes gradually turn into a limpid orange color. The Demon God Emperor nodded to him, his eyes filled with concern. Vassago continued in a serious tone, This year, my Great Prophecy Technique was used to the greatest extent, using up my only chance of prediction in this life. In ordance with Boss n, the forces well use in this war against the Temple Alliance are mostly the low and middle grade demons, meanwhile well be doing our utmost to conserve our supreme forces. This way, we will retain an overwhelming advantagepared to them. ording to my predictions, if this Holy War keeps going, the result will be neither side winning. Vassago muttered to himself irresolutely for a short time, before continuing, The strength of the Temple Alliance is even greater than our imagination. Even though we will finally achieve victory, it will only be a tragic victory. Something we are absolutely unwilling to see. The Demon God Emperor nodded to him, asking, The strength of the Temple Alliance is even greater than our imagination? In which aspect? Vassago replied; This is something I didnt manage to predict. I only sensed that the Temple Alliance is concealing an extremely terrifying strength. Im unclear on the origin of this force, but I am certain that its not from those Title grade Demon Hunter Squads. These existence are quite threatening, but they are after all rare. The force they kept concealed could barely resist the third of our forces. But unless at ast resort, humanity should not borrow use from it. Hearing this, the Demon God Emperors expression became suddenly severe, I didnt expect humans to have such a force in reserve. Seeing the spontaneity of this Holy War, hidden forces are the most threatening ones. No matter what, the humans will surely be forced to use that force they have kept hidden in this war. Vassago shook his head, Thats not for sure. You dont need to worry boss. This force kept by the humans is indeed threatening, but it has a decaying property. It doesnt seem that it can be used for too long, or they would self-destruct from that. And this time shoulde within twenty years. In other words, if we dont force humans to a matter of life or death, this terrible force should be no threat to us. Agares asked in puzzlement, Could it be that humans wont take the initiative to use this force? Vassago replied, Thats the thing I find strange. In what I sensed from Great Prophecy, the humans are also greatly afraid of this force, going as far as to reject it. So I am sure that unless the crucial moment close to humanitys destructiones, they wont likely use it. This force shouldnte from the Six Great Strongholds. If I am not mistaken in shoulde from the human Holy City. Hearing him, the Demon God Emperor became taciturn for a time. Very visibly, Vassagis words impacted him quite a lot. This force could shake the demon rule! Making the word terrifyinge out from Vassagos mouth wasnt so easy. So third brother, do you think we should take the initiative to finish the Holy War as soon as we can? The Demon God Emperor asked. The Star Demon God Vassago shook his head, No. Quite the opposite, we have to keep this Holy War going. We just have to avoidpelling the humans to theirst means, because only this way will Austin Griffine out. Reaching this point, his expression became grim. Inparison, Austin Griffin was a lot more severe than that terrible force kept by humans that was beyond their control. This year, my Great Prophecy targeted Austin Griffin for the longest time. His current growth has advanced to some extent already. Although thats not enough for him to threaten us for real, hes by no means weak. Finding him through this war against humans is impossible. But Austin Griffins threat is growing by the minute. We will have few chances to kill him, among which the greatest one will be in roughly two years. From my estimate, he will appear in demon territory at that time. Thats our best chance. The only premise is that we are to pressure the humans to a great extent enough during the Holy War, or he wont necessarilye to our rear. The Demon God Emperors eyes glistened, brimming with a killing intent refrained inside him. But even so, Vassago and Agares could feel a powerful pressure being released from their boss. Vassago raised his head, enveloping the three brothers in an orange light. His lips hummed, muttering some words. Only Feng Xiu and Agares were able to hear these words. Chapter 478 - The Revelation from Great Prophecy Technique (II)

Chapter 478: The Revtion from Great Prophecy Technique (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Hearing him, Feng Xius shock became more and more visible, Third brother, this is too dangerous, you Vassago shook his head in silence, Boss, you should know about the threat of Austin Griffin. Since this is our greatest chance, we cannot let it go no matter what. And this n is for the best. If faced head on, he will very likely flee. And if he escapes this time, he will be on extremely high alert. And that time, be it us or this world, Im afraid that both are going to be Feng Xiu appeared upset, Its my fault. I should have attached more importance to him before. That bastard Andromalius He actually died in the hands of Austin Griffin even before maturity, and let his demon god pir be destroyed. This is something we will never be able to make up for. Vassago responded, Thats why we have to grasp our only chance in this war. No matter how great the cost we pay, we cannot give Austin Griffin the slightest chance. The Demon God Emperor nodded at him slowly, Okay, lets do it as you say. This matter can only be known to us three brothers. Lets keep it hidden from Saminaga and the others for now. One year, we still have one year in front of us. I will let the humans feel my wrath in this war. Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, Knight Temples headquarters. Yang Haohan and Long Tianying were seated, silently standing in front of the crystal ball. Its been a year, a whole year had passed. And Long Haochen was actually still in deep meditative state. If not for the fluctuations of spiritual energy bing stronger and stronger and his breath remaining normal, they would have believed Long Haochen to have passed away in a sitting posture. A year! The sessionsted for one year! During this year, even Han Yu managed to sessfully break through the seventh step, and reentered in the Illusory Cave to learn abilities of the seventh step. But Long Haochen still had the same look as when he entered, having not even got up once from beginning to end. Brother Long, should we take a look at him? Yang Haohan suggested with some worry. Long Tianying shook his head, No. Since his aura didnt weaken at all, we cannot disturb him. I believe that this kid is acting within the norms. Cant you sense that? From the fluctuations of spiritual energy surrounding him, its already at saturation. Now all he needs is a breakthrough. Yang Haohan replied, I havent even noticed, I was too concerned about him! What a genius! Hes now trying to break through the bottleneck of the eighth step, right?! I really didnt expect that he would use such a method to bring us a nice surprise like that. And I originally believed old Qiu to be overestimating him. Now it looks that even he might have underestimated him. If he really seeds, he will be the first Saint Knight below twenty born in our Temple Alliance. Long Tianying, This kids attitude is even more wless than my expectations. I believe that he will surely seed. However, the bottleneck between the seventh step and the eighth step isnt that easy to break through. It requires not only a lot of effort, but also a burst of understanding. Let him keep trying. If within three months he doesnt achieve any breakthrough, I will immediately summon him. Otherwise, in case he bes impetuous, this could affect his future cultivation. Yeah. Yang Haohan nodded silently. Right at this time, in the crystal ball, the body that had remained unmoving for a year shook for a moment. This shudder didnt look serious, but the two Divine Knight instantly stood up in reaction, opening their eyes wide. The shaking around Long Haochen started to grow in intensity, taking the shape ofyers of golden light spreading out from his body. The shaking around his body seemed to resemble seismic waves. An ident? Long Tianying was greatly rmed. No, its not that. Yang Haohan grabbed Long Tianlong who was about to rush out, I heard about a technique that Long Haochen created, called Ripples of Light. Through the vibrations of spiritual energy it produces powerful attack and defense. He shouldnt be having an ident. Right at this time, the shaking around Long Haochens body became lighter, both his hands lifting up. Unfolding in slow motion, his whole body smoothed, seemingly bing morenky. The soft light floating around him stretched out. Immediately, a vast golden glint spread out of him, in full flow. One could faintly see that on his brows, chest, and belly, balls of lights were moving rhythmically. Suddenly, his eyes opened. At that instant, even the Divine Knights Yang Haohan and Long Tianying felt the surrounding air tremble. A light burst out from his eyes, spreading around his body. Sweeping the air, full of substance, it bubbled forth to the whole room. Along with Long Haochen, Yating got up and opened her eyes. Compared to Long Haochen, she didnt look much different, but her eyes had gained brilliance and tranquility. And her body seemed to have gained even more aura of life. Yating had already acquired a physical body, but if one was to touch, theyd find out that her body was ice cold. Only at the times ofunching light abilities would it warm up to some extent because of the fluctuations of light. And the surface of her body would feel stiff at touch. After all, she was made up of dense light essence; her body wasnt real. But in this instance, not only her life energy gained in substance, but her whole body felt more real. In her soft movements, one could see that her skin seemed very flexible, just like a real human beauty. Even advanced elven gave off a lot less substantial feeling. Yating spread out her wings at Long Haochens back, making a hugging motion. The next instant, in a glint of light, she disappeared in Long Haochens body, merging inside. Compared to one year ago, his body wasnt much different. To him, time seemed to have stopped during this year of deep meditation. Not having the slightest filth on, even his beard and hair didnt grow. Only his eyes were full of light. Just as Yang Haohan had determined, his cultivation rose to the peak of the seventh step, his internal spiritual energy reaching 30,000 units. This year of deep meditation was a period of preparation to Long Haochen. It cleaned his heart and his spiritual energy. After reaching the peak of the seventh step, he attempted to break through a few times, but didnt find the path of the breakthrough sessfully. So he didnt keep forcing himself, letting this long session end. At the very moment, although inside of this Illusory Cave, he had a very transparent feeling. With a sh of light, a bottle of water came out in his hand. Drinking a few gulps, he let the water permeate through his body. Immediately, he stretched out his body once again, cracking his bones, after which he seemed to have gained a bit in size. Not hastening to take his next movement, he only stood there silently, seemingly caught in contemtion. Quite a long timeter, he slowly turned back, heading to the depths of the cave. Seeing Long Haochen disappear, Long Tianying and Yang Haohan couldnt help but turn back and look at each other. Exchanging nces in disarray, the two Divine Knights had a kind of strange feeling. Hes going to study techniques? Not going to attempt a breakthrough? Long Tianying reacted the first. Yang Haohan replied, Not easy to say. I believe that hes trying to find a chance. Do you think we should tell him the trick to break through the eighth step? Long Tianying replied, We should originally have told him, but seeing how fast he reached the peak of the seventh step, I dont really want to. If he can get to the eighth step from the peak of the seventh step through his ownprehension, his future breakthrough to the ninth step will have a great advantage. After all, these two bottlenecks are differents routes to the same destination. We have to believe in him, and let him slowly settle down. Yang Haohan nodded silently, I also think thats for the best. For how long have I been cultivating? Whileing out from the Illusory Cave, Long Haochen muttered irresolutely to himself. He felt that he had been spending a very long time cultivating, wanting to terminate it several times but feeling the monstrous growth of his internal spiritual energy, he chose to endure loneliness. The three spiritual cavities in his body were entirely full, and his whole body was full of energy. How should he break through the eighth step? While walking in the Illusory Cave, Long Haochen reflected on this very important question. Maybe this was because he had been sitting for too long, but his whole body felt a bit sore. His qi and blood was rapidly flowing under the urge of his spiritual energy. Suddenly, the sight in front of him changed. A door appeared in front of his eyes, with the number seven on it. Long Haochen stopped his advance, looking at that seven. Thinking to himself that he cannot directly break through from the seventh step, and this should be because his umtion was not enough. _My spiritual energy is already sufficient, I should find inspiration in abilities. Maybe Ill achieve some results this way._ Pushing the door with his hands, it felt very firm. Light rushed forth, and Long Haochens body seemed to have be a transparent golden crystal. To him, using Brilliant Body didnte with an excessive consumption. The Brilliant Body he had as a gods chosen one had a special property, making it a perpetual Brilliant Body. Just by using spiritual energy normally, the boost from Brilliant Body would immediately appear, without need to consume extra spiritual energy. With a stronger cultivation, the boost of ones natural talent to his strength would increase. Chapter 479 - The Revelation from Great Prophecy Technique (III)

Chapter 479: : The Revtion from Great Prophecy Technique (III)

Trantor: GravityTales With a low sound, the heavy door opened. It felt like there was no air, and Long Haochen felt an iparable awe from its opening. Drawing back slightly, Long Haochen used his hands to support himself, taking a defensive posture. His movements were slow and steady, facing a sharp intent that took material shape. The instant his movements stabilized, an intense golden light lit up from Divine Obstruction. It was a shame that Yang Haohans crystall ball was unable to watch the situation in this inner part of the Illusory Cave, or he would find out with great shock, that Long Haochen was making use of an essence level Divine Obstruction. During this one year of deep meditation, it wasnt only his internal spiritual energy that gained arge boost. His body benefitted from the overflowing spiritual energy, both his external spiritual energy and mental force achievingrge progress. One could say that through a year of stabilization, Long Haochen processed all the fighting experience, training processes and happy encounters, distilling it all to the greatest extent. Whenpared to a year prior, his gain of spiritual energy aside, he became a lot more stable in many other aspects. The door released a sharp energy that didntst for long beforeing loose. On Long Haochens face one could be see his heartfelt respect. Undoubtedly, in this room there were records of knight abilities of the seventh step. His precursors had left their techniques here, just like their lives. They were dead already, but their blood would forever remain in every living knight. Stepping over the door, there was a ten square metersrge hall, with doors on either side. On the door of the left was a symbol of shield, and on the right door were two swords. These were the symbols of Guardian Knight abilities and Retribution Knight abilities. After Long Haochen pondered for a little while, he still chose to head for the door with a shield engraved on it, pushing the door. Immediately, a thick feeling invaded his senses. Southeast stronghold. _Bang!_ A bright silver light exploded in high altitude. This reduced a Dual Headed Demon Eagle to fragments. A massive shield was swept horizontally, this time disintegrating the Dual ded Demons that were just done climbing above the city walls. d in spatial armor, Wang Yuanyuan stood proudly at the entrance. Her silver armor was covered in bloodstains, making it even hard to tell its color. The silver light that just ascended was the Space Splitting Saut fired by her Divine Soul Shield, and the swipe was Revolving Splitting Shield. At this time, she was treading on the city walls. In her left hand, a sawtooth-looking chopper of two meters length. Every time its de fell, a demon would fall out of the city. By herself, she covered a width of twenty meters on the city walls. To say nothing of the enemies, even the male warriors from the Warrior Temple didnt dare approach the area guarded by Wang Yuanyuan. The Sawteeth Chopper in Wang Yuanyuans left hand was two meters long, its handle reaching over two third of a meter. Although she controlled it with only one hand, it showed a might close to dual handed weapon. Glistening in bright silver, not only the back of its de, even the de itself was made of the same kind of sawtooth. In a sh of silver light, the bone cuts made by the Sawteeth let out sour sounds, and although the volume of its handle wasrge, its attack speed remained iparably fast. It seemed as if her hand was controlling a silver bolt of lightning, shooting up and down. Right, the great chopper in Wang Yuanyuans hand was made of the material they acquired in the Swamps of Gloom. After Lin Xin returned to the Mage Temple, he had an expert in craftsmanship use the teeth of seven Saw Skates to create it for Wang Yuanyuan. Reaching the peak of the Legendary Tier, this weapon was only a step away from the Epic Tier. The craftsman who made this great de sighed emotionally, seeing this bloody de, inflicting terrible cut, and able to break through the overwhelming majority of the defensive spell of the eighth step or lower. It contained three abilities: Bloody Cut, Bloodsaw Mad Dance, and Dimensional Storm. Finally, it was given the name of Bloodstorm. Bloody Cut is included in this Bloodstorm, being one of the terrifyingceration effects of the Saw Skates attacks. It has strongcerating power, its sharpness even exceeding Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light in its normal state. And never forget about the understanding Wang Yuanyuan acquired from Long Haochens self-created Ripples of Light. The cutting power of Bloody Cut added with Ripples of Light reached a terrible power that only the one at the receiving end would know. Two days before, at the time a demon powerhouse of the eighth step had shed against Wang Yuanyuan, she was pushed away, but his hand was cut by the Bloody Cut without suspense. His powerful external spiritual energy proved out to be of no use. Bloodsaw Mad Dance and Dimensional Storm were two abilities that required spiritual energy for use, consuming quite a lot of it, but the power merited it. They were extremely terrifying attacks. Bloodsaw Mad Dance instantly gives birth to seven Bloodstorms. Each one carrying the same power. After all, this terrifying sword was made from the horns of seven Saw Skates. Their souls still faintly existed inside. Dimensional Storm is the greatest ability of this weapon. One use would use up two thousand units of spiritual energy, producing a small scale dimensional cut in the midst of all the sawtooth, and letting the might of Bloody Cut reach its peak. At least up to this day, Wang Yuanyuan had yet to encounter an opponent able to block thebination of this weapon and its abilities. Even powerhouses of the eighth step pouring all their spiritual energy in their weapons were the same. These three abilities aside, because of being made of Saw Skates, which are dual wind and space elements, Bloodstorms attack speed is naturally very high. It offensive power exceeded the Divine Soul Shield with four spatial crystals on. Therefore, Wang Yuanyuan started using the Divine Soul Shield as a real shield. Her killing power was mostly based on Bloodstorm. It was a year ago that she returned in the southeasts stronghold. Starting from the day of her return, Wang Yuanyuan took the initiative to ask to be fighting on the edge of the city. At the beginning, her utility was not very distinct in the great war. But after she obtained the Bloodstorm sent by Lin Xin, she gradually started to emerge as one of the important elements of the southeasts stronghold. Her slender build, cold and elegant demeanor, terrible gigantic shield and sawteeth cutter. Every day, the demons killed in her hands reached an unbelievable number. This is how she gained the nickname of Killer Princess. Her military contributions made her a regimentalmander of the Alliance. The military officer ranks of the Temple Alliance can be, from lower to higher rank, enumerated as: -small team leader,manding twenty soldiers -middle-sized team leader,manding a hundred soldiers rge team leader,manding five hundred soldiers -battalionmander, head of a thousand five hundred soldiers -regimentalmander, head of three battalions -corps chief,head of three regiments. And above them are the three military chiefs of the Alliances armies, upper, middle and lowermanders in chief. Having reached the rank of regimentalmander solely based on her killing force, one could well imagine how many demons Wang Yuanyuan killed by herself. Even the person in question stopped counting since long ago. Contrary to expectation, as soon as shed set foot on the city walls, her eyes would instinctively turn red, before being followed by a frantic ughter. This year, she suffered a total of three severe wounds, and returned to the battlefield before recoveringpletely from them every time. The southeast stronghold asked her many times to take up her role as a military officer,manding the armies to fight, but every time, she rejected their offer. She asked to stand in the top front of the warriors, going to kill the enemies, even as a regimentalmander ranked warrior. _Rauu_ A Dark Green Dual ded Demon of the fifth step leapt on the city walls, howling at Wang Yuanyuan. _Bang._ After making a full turn, the Divine Soul Shield returned to Wang Yuanyuans hands. Against the Dark Green Dual ded Demon, all Wang Yuanyuan did was a simple movement: a chop. From Bloodstorm, silvery light burst out, letting out stridentcerating sounds. Thecerated space of ck color, was bordered in silver, taking the shape of a dual colored bright de instantly reducing the previously rampant Dark Green Dual ded Demon to shreds. Timeless Strike, ability used by spatial warriors of the sixth step. Used through Bloodstorm, its power was raised one level above. Suddenly, Wang Yuanyuans carefree move came to a sudden stop, looking afar. A ck dot was erging in her line of sight. Careful, Yuanyuan. With a shout, a tall figure rushed to Wang Yuanyuans side, glinting in golden color. A thick tower shield appeared along on the ground. At the time that ck dot that came from afar and erged at astonishing speed reached the city walls, it reached a terrifying volume. That was impressively a powerful Demonic Bear. This was a besieging method the demons thought of. Using giant catapults, powerful army forces were thrown straight at the city walls. If this kind of attack patterns was used a year ago, that would be like throwing mice at a cat, just looking for death. A simple spell used by a mage would suffice to stop that. But with the progress of the war, the mages of the Temple Alliance were constantly priority targets of war. Outside from the Mage Temple, the count of mages guarding the other Great Temples stronghold were already pitifully few. The body of that Demonic Bear struck against that tower shield violently. The knight holding the tower shield was forcibly repelled by the strike, letting out blood from his mouth and nose. The force of the Demonic Bear was really terrible, and the one thrown was a Demonic Bear of the seventh step. With its great defensive power, in case it managed to stand on top of the city walls, it would cause great damage to the southeastern stronghold. The one who blocked this attack from the Demonic Bear for Wang Yuanyuan, wasnt that Zhang Fangfang? At the start of the Holy War, all the Demon Hunt Squad went in a state of war, all of them participating in the battlefields. After a year of violent battle, Zhang Fangfangs Demon Hunt Squad was no longer left. Out of the six of them, only the assassin and him were still alive. The others all died at this southeastern stronghold. It could be said to be an unexpected joy for Zhang Fangfang to have reunited once again with Wang Yuanyuan. Hisrades died one after another, and he suffered many serious injuries. It was thanks to the Spiritual Stove of Second Life he acquired in the Illusory Paradise back then that he managed to make it back alive one time after another. Chapter 480 - The Transformations of the 64th Commander Squad (I)

Chapter 480: The Transformations of the 64th Commander Squad (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Therefore, he now became Wang Yuanyuans protector. It could be said that without him sparing no cost to protect her, Wang Yuanyuan would surely already be dead on the citys walls. After all, with her terrible attack power, how could she not be attacked by the demons from all sides? Die! Wang Yuanyuans eyes became bloody red, charging straight at the Demonic Bear that was still unsteady from thending. One could faintly see that around Wang Yuanyuan, floated thin bloody red light. The iparably thick killing intent swirling around her made her seem hard to describe with any other word than wild. _Bang._ With a stuffy sound, the Demonic Bear at the peak of the seventh step stumbled from the strike of Wang Yuanyuans Divine Soul Shield. Immediately, Wang Yuanyuans strong performance followed. The Divine Soul Shield came to an abrupt pause, bursting out with silver colored light. Space Splitting Saut directly bombarded the chest of the Demonic Bear of the seventh step, interrupting the waves he was about to release. Stepping forward, she released Bloody Storm causing seven shadows to mix with her figure, through her silver light and bloody murderous intent, she engulfed the body of that Demonic Bear violently. Suppressed by Wang Yuanyuans terrifying murderous spirit, the defensively formidable Demonic Bear could only use his arms to protect his face, trying to resist her frontal assault. The terrifyingcerating force of Bloodstorm manifested without doubt. The Demonic Bears body was blown to pieces, and in the midst of his bitter screams of rage, its thick arm started to reveal the dense bones inside. Die! Wang Yuanyuan, who disregarded the blood sttered on her body, shouted in fury. Bloodstorm was lifted high above her head, and a pitch-ck radiance instantly permeated the whole sawtooth signalling Dimension Cut. The Demonic Bear was after all a powerhouse of the seventh step and even on the door of death, his body charged at Wang Yuanyuan, striking against the Divine Soul Shield. Wang Yuanyuan was totally fearless, her eyes brimming with even further rage. The instant the iparably robust body of the Demonic Bear struck against the Divine Soul Shield, her right feet abruptly stomped on the ground. The surrounding human warriors could all see that the current Wang Yuanyuan looked like the brilliance of a diamond. shing in silver light at astonishing speed, she raised up Bloodstorm. A silver brilliance abruptly burst out from her, acting like a tornado, she suddenly charged at the body of the Demonic Bear, throwing it high in the air. The Demonic Bear that was originally mince meat due to Bloody Cut was turned into countless fragments in the air. Filling the whole sky with a rain of blood, a sight that awed all the spectators. This scene was already beyond being described shocking. To say nothing of the demons, even the human warriors from the Temple Alliance were all filled with terrible fear. In fact, Wang Yuanyuan was now only a powerhouse at the peak of the sixth step, and had yet the break through to the seventh step. But the fighting strength she disyed was beyond horrifying. The silver light was visible for over three seconds, before gradually scattering. Wang Yuanyuan was standing on her knee, takingrge gasps of breaths. Be it Bloodstorm or the Divine Soul Shield, all were devoid of light. Her body was still surrounded by a dense killing intent taking a thin red color. Only her face was quite abnormally pale. A gold colored figure stood in front of her. Although the demons climbing up the city walls didnt dare charge at Wang Yuanyuan out of shock, that valiant knight stood there to stop any possible attack. Meanwhile, a gentle white light was released from his hand, falling on Wang Yuanyuans body. Zhang Fangfangs expression was quite unsightly, not because of the previous attack of the Demonic but due his heart aching! In fact, only he knew the cost of Wang Yuanyuans previous attack. The previous attack was Wang Yuanyuans self-created technique, called Spiritual Busting Silver Tornado. Its formidable power could not be described using simple words. This all-out technique casting everything away was moulded by Wang Yuanyuan through incessant ughter. Zhang Fangfang asked Wang Yuanyuan in the past why she was attacking so recklessly. Wang Yuanyuan gave him a simple reply, telling him, _Myrades are all more naturally talented than me. If I dont put a lot more effort than them, I will fall behind. At the time the team reforms, I will be a more useful person for the team, and not let captain have to bear such a massive burden by himself._ Who could be as affected as Long Haochen about Caiers memory loss? As one of the members of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, she felt that she kept bing more and more useless as the enemies they encountered kept gaining stronger. In terms of innate talent, she could be said to be thest in standings. In attack power, she was below Sima Xian, and there was nothing to say about their defense. And without any supporting abilities, what could she do as a warrior? She felt her utility to the team only kept going down with time. At the time the Temple Alliance gave the order to temporarily disband their team, Wang Yuanyuan felt for the first time so powerless. The feeling of being unable to grasp her own fate with her own hands was just too painful. Their team copsed and no one knew if they would be able to reform again in the future. Why was that? Because everyone wasnt strong enough. For this reason, after returning to the Warrior Temple, seeing the battlefield at the southeastern stronghold, Wang Yuanyuan made her resolve that she would do anything possible to be stronger. Insufficient genius could only be made up with strong efforts. So she stood on the city walls, standing in the front from beginning to end. As a girl and a female warrior, she used much more savage methods than men to increase her strength. Wang Yuanyuan remembered deeply what Long Haochen said in the past, that as a fighter, the easiest method for one to increase their strength is to go beyond their limits. Every challenge pushing one to their limits will undoubtedly be an enormous driving force to progress efficiently. Searching for her own limits in the midst of ughter, every time she was exhausted, she would keep insisting on staking everything until thest second. At the time she managed to make it alive, she would naturally find out that her cultivation and techniques progressed at an astonishing speed. Keeping herself on the thread of life or death every time, she would only clench her teeth and bear the suffering until the end. If not for this, how could she have progressed from a bit above 6,000 units of spiritual energy to reach 10,000 units, peak of the sixth step, in a mere year? Her frantic murderous spirit and formidable weapons finally pushed Wang Yuanyuan to create her first personal technique, an extremely bloody and iparably powerful technique. Using the ability Spiritual Busting Silver Tornado requires one to apply Dimensional Storm on Bloodstorm, before forcing ones spiritual energy outside of their body, igniting their spatial attribute spiritual energy by the means of an iparably bloody murderous spirit. This way, an extremely terrifying burst power will be produced. And the split second of the burstpletely exceeds Wang Yuanyuans regr level of power. But simrly, this bursting forcees with some bacsh she has to endure. Through constant training and boost, she finally seeded. Although the ability Spiritual Busting Silver Tornado borrows its might from Bloody Storm, this is in the end Wang Yuanyuans self-created technique! When used, as everything within three meters range from her will immediately be subject to an extremely direct and terrible attack. Unless the enemys strength is great enough to crush her, and thoroughly destroy her weapon and her, Spiritual Busting Silver Tornado will be a fatal attack. Even with his tyrannical body, the Demonic Bear having lost the backup of his spiritual energy was directly reduced to shreds by this technique, which was something hard to imagine. Even powerhouses of the eighth step wouldnt dare proim themselves to be capable of doing that to a powerhouse of the seventh step. The chief of the Warrior Temple Qiu Yonghao personally came to advise Wang Yuanyuan. Her paternal grandfather being the previous chief of the Warrior Temple before him. Before he died in battle against the Hell Demon God Marbas, he was the one who let the attendant of the divine sword wielder Ye Wushang seed his position. Being the one who seeded the divine soul bloodline, Wang Yuanyuan was thest living bearer of this bloodline. No matter what, Qiu Yonghao was unwilling to see her have an ident. But Wang Yuanyuans unswerving determination was just too strong. She told Qiu Yonghao that thest of the divine soul bloodline cannot be a coward, even if she is a girl. Left without a choice, Qiu Yonghao could only do his utmost by sending people to look after her, this way Wang Yuanyuan could get the best priests to treat her in case she gets wounded. Her perseverance was paid back, as the strength flowing from her veins kept being stimting, letting it mix with her murderous spirit. This produced arge amplification to the thin red light surrounding her body that has the ability of boosting her strength greatly. With a sh of golden light, Zhang Fangfang duplicated into another him. That was his doppleganger born from the Spiritual Stove of Second Life. He directly handed his heavy sword and shield to the doppleganger, who immediately took over the job, guarding the area assigned to Wang Yuanyuan. Zhang Fangfang rapidly came to Wang Yuanyuans side, lending his arm to support her until they were near the rear. Wang Yuanyuan didnt try to be brave by forcing herself to stay up, Spiritual Busting Silver Tornado was something she wasnt able to control entirely. After each burst, her body would suffer a severe shock. And after taking the Forest Boa Body Foundation Pills made from the gall of the Forest Boa King, her external spiritual energy gained a substantial boost. This gradually made things better, but bearing the damage inflicted by that ability to her own body was still out of her capability. Cant you stop fighting so hard? Dont you know how my heart aches for you? Zhang Fangfang wrinkled his brows, staring at her with a look full of worry. Under his watch, the bloody color in Wang Yuanyuans eyes gradually came off, even showing some tenderness, Thank you, Brother Fang. Chapter 481 - The Transformations of the 64th Commander Squad (II)

Chapter 481: The Transformations of the 64th Commander Squad (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Zhang Fangfang was startled. Over this year, during the many times Wang Yuanyuan and him went through fire and water, she almost seemed totally immersed in her ughter. And this was the first time she expressed her thanks to him. For this reason, he felt his whole body shiver, his suppressed feelings gushed out. Holding her in his arms, he felt that even if he were to die in the next instant, that would be worth it. Yuanyuan, you Wang Yuanyuan didnt resist, letting him hold her, slowly shutting her eyes. She was the aware of how enormously Zhang Fangfang had helped her. Zhang Fangfang didnt only save her life, but also her heart. Immersed in ughter, even a male warrior would very easily lose himself, to say nothing of a female warrior who would hardly have great willpower. Every time Wang Yuanyuan lost herself in ughter, her heart was filled with only ruthlessness, she saw Zhang Fangfang help her ease her heart. Because of Zhang Fangfangs existence, her heart could retain some warmth, and not be taken over by all this. Brother Fang, I dont know how I could repay you for all this. If you are willing to ept me despite all the bloody stench on my body, I will give myself to you after the end of this Holy War. Wang Yuanyuans words left a torrential shock in Zhang Fangfangs ears. He looked at Wang Yuanyuan nkly,pletely speechless for a moment out of excitement. _She is willing to give herself to me?_ Yuanyuan Zhang Fangfang couldnt help but embrace her tighter. But I cannot marry you. Wang Yuanyuans next words immediately pulled Zhang Fangfang back to reality, falling firmly to the ground. Wang Yuanyuan raised her hand, gently stroking his face with beard grown all over, Sorry, Brother Fang. For as long as I can remember, I pledged to devote this life to exterminate demons, and not get settled down and marry someone. I belong to my team, and will resist against the demons with Captain and the others until the end. All I can give to you is my body. No, Yuanyuan. Marry me, and I can follow you in killing the enemy! Moreover, my team is already disbanded. Zhang Fangfang said hastily. Wang Yuanyuan shook her head, Thats not the same. If I marry you, I will worry about you. I like you but dont dare love you. All I have is hatred, hatred for demons in my heart. Sorry. Zhang Fangfang looked at her with a nk face. Seeing that tears were spilling over her face, he didnt feel any resentment toward her l, only feeling pain for her, making it hard for him to even breath. Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Pass. Located between the mountain passes on the south, the east and the southeast, this was the location of the headquarters of the Spiritual Temple. The Odin Town where Long Haochen lived when he was young was very close to this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Pass. During the first year of the Holy War, the one which sustained the lowest damage within the Six Great Temples was that Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Pass. Relying on torrents of summons, they repelled the demon attacks one after another, while bringing support to the side of the most burdened, Priest Temple in the Southern Mountain Pass. In the depths of the Spiritual Temple, inside an hexagonal room was an elegant girl, sitting cross-legged. This was a very peculiar room underground. Circles of bizarre decorative designs were visible all around, the most fantastic thing being that these designs were all very meticulously carved. If one was to pay careful attention upon observing, he would see that all these sculptures represented a magical beast. In this hundred square meters room, the count of magical beast sculptures was almost innumerable. And the exceptional beauty of these decorative designs was closely rted to the fact that many magical beast crystals were iid on these sculptures. These crystals filled the room, just like arge carpet made of gems. Soft white radiance was surging from the sky. As it revolved around the girl, one could see some gates of light in the midst of these white rays of light. The expression on the face of the girl was solemn and serene, with a sacred feel to it. She was d in a white gown, with decorative designs simr to the ground on it, also embroidered with many magical beasts embroidered. Though, the number of gems iid on it was few. This few was whenparing the count to therge number of crystals on the ground. On her gown were seven gems, all colorless and transparent, hanging down from the back of her cloth. Separating on the two sides of her cor, they formed a shape encircling her waist. These seven transparent crystals produced a dense reflection of this room, spreading out a kind of fantastic transparent undtions. If some higher ups of the Spiritual Temple were present, they would definitely be in great shock, because the gown worn by the girl was extremely important to the Spiritual Temple, close in value to the Divine Thrones in the eyes of the Knight Temple. Saint Spirit Robe. This was a genuine divine tool passed down since thousands years by the Spiritual Temple. As for its antecedents, it was made from the crystallisation of the hearts blood of powerhouses from several generations of the Spiritual Temple. On this Saint Spirit Robe were a total of a hundred and eight soul pellets, umted by the Spiritual Temple over five thousand years, and was just done being made one thousand years ago. This genuine divine tool was also the only divine tool in the hands of the Spiritual Temple. Its process of craft used the marrow juice from one thousand eighty magical beasts. It was soaked in some special metal, to be made flexible, and tough to the limit, before absorbing the soul of the one thousand eighty magical beast, giving birth to this gown. The soul pellets iid on this gown were special existences produced by the summoners of the Spiritual Temple. Summoners would forever only have one spiritual cavity, only the other vocations, that were able to raise the number of their spiritual cavities by continuously gaining in spiritual energy, resulting in a boost of their strength. The fact they had only one spiritual cavity made it a lot harder for them to cultivate than other vocations. Through the research of many ancestors, an alternative was found: an extraordinary cultivation method, called Spiritual Energy Pellet Production Spell. Through this method, spiritual energy could be gradually solidified, to be stored in the body. This would not only help with its purification process, but also enable to raise the limit of spiritual energy, achieving the result of empowering their cultivation. The production of the first spiritual pellet, as soft as cotton, wille with continuous increase of ones cultivation, bing firmer and firmer, until bing close to a gem. But to reach such a level without the destruction of the pellet, one needs reach at least the ninth step of cultivation. And when summoners of the ninth step die, their spiritual pellets are left, just like demons magical crystals. In other words, the Saint Spirit Robe worn by this girl was made of a hundred and eight ancestors spiritual pellets. To say nothing of the demons, even the other five Temples didnt know of the existence of the Saint Spirit Robe. From the day it was made, this divine tool had yet to be shown. The reason for that was simple: no one was able to dominate it. The spiritual pellets left by a hundred and eight powerhouses of the ninth step belonging to the Spiritual Temple. Just what terrifying power woulde out from the convergence of their spiritual energy? Although it was made one with the souls of one thousand eighty magical beasts, bing a lot softer, the terrifying power and level attained by the released spiritual energy made even powerhouses of the ninth step unable to control it. Since a thousand years ago, the Spiritual Temple had been trying a lot of ways, but never managed to make use of the Saint Soul Robe. Therefore, this divine tool stayed concealed in the deepest parts of the Spiritual Temple. Only the sessive generations of Temple chiefs and auxiliary heads knew about its existence. The situation was only made a bit better a bit more than twenty years ago. Through the past thousand years of research, the Spiritual Temple found out that to dawn this Saint Spirit Robe, not only spiritual energy strength was needed, but also to gain its approval. Only someone that could achieve a very high level of intimacy with magical beasts could gain the blessing of the Saint Spirit Robe. In the past three hundred years an almighty being blessed with an innate internal spiritual energy of eighty-one units appeared. After he became the chief of the Spiritual Temple, and paid his respects to this Saint Spirit Robe, he obtained a response from it. At this time, the Saint Spirit Robe let out a faint light and a very cordial aura towards him. This Temple Head tried wearing the Saint Spirit Robe, and finally seeded. But at the time of his tests, he found out that he was only able to disy a third of the strength of the Saint Spirit Robe. In other words, he didnt gain a high enough approval from the Saint Spirit Robe. But even this way, the strength that was disyed by the Saint Spirit Robe already exceeded r the epic weaponry ss by a lot. Aftering to conscientious reflections, the Temple Head resisted with great difficulty to the impulse in his heart, and decided to return this Saint Spirit Robe to the Temple, not using on the battlefield. Ever since that time, the Spiritual Temple had another rule. That all summoners of the sixth step or above had to pay their respects to this saint robe. Of course, the saint robe was concealed in a sculpture of the ten thousand beasts god. Using such a method to look for a summoner achieving an even higher level of approval from the saint robe was a desperate attempt, but in truth, it turned out quite effective. In the past three hundred years, over a dozen summoners managed to stir the Saint Spirit Robe. Without an exception, all were gifted with rather high levels of innate internal spiritual energy. But unfortunately, none of them finally managed to wear this robe. Over twenty years ago, at the time a female summoner paid her respects to this Saint Spirit Robe, a miraculous scene followed. The Saint Spirit Robe released a never- before seen resplendent light. Immediately, that summoner was taken as a celestial being, immediately pressed by the chief and auxiliary chief of the Temple to remain in the Temple. This female summoner and the temple chief and auxiliary chiefs shared an exceptional rtionship. She was the daughter-inw of the chief of the Spiritual Temple Chen Hongyu, and its auxiliary chief Sanshui. When Chen Hongyu discovered that his daughter inw was able to stimte the saint robe to such extent, without need to bring up this nice surprise, he immediately came to the joint decision with his wife Sanshui to let her have a fitting trial with the saint robe. But their previous excitement very rapidly submerged to disappointment. Thats because after the Saint Spiritual Robe was put on her, their daughter-inw was totally unable to draw out any of its power. Chapter 482 - The Transformations of the 64th Commander Squad (III)

Chapter 482: The Transformations of the 64th Commander Squad (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Seeing her fail after several more tries, they couldnt help but feel an even greater disappointment. But during that time, they learned that their daughter-inw was actually pregnant. Therefore, Chen Hongyu and Sanshui discussed in depth, and came to an audacious conclusion. That the one the Saint Spirit Robe responded to wasnt their daughter inw, but the child in her, their grandchild. Aftering to this conclusion, their daughter-inw was retained in a private room inside the Spiritual Temple. The Saint Spirit Robe became her clothing, until the time her child was born. After being pregnant for ten months, the scene of her childs birth was particrly stirring. The day her child was born, the Saint Soul Robe produced another st of that intense resplendent light,ing off from the body of their daughter-inw, curling around this girl. That was the summoner of the current sixty fourthmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Chen Yinger. This matter was ssified as the greatest secret of the Spiritual Temple. Only Chen Hongyu, Sanshui and Chen Yingers parents knew of it. Chen Yingers growth was very strictly monitored, which is the reason for herter rebellious attitude. Just as the ancestors from the Spiritual Temple had expected, the master of the Saint Spirit Robe required a very high innate internal spiritual energy. And Chen Yingers internal spiritual energy exceeded the level of ny, making her the very first Spiritual Saint Girl ever born in the Spiritual Temple. But as Chen Yinger grew, issues started to appear on her body. She was able to cultivate, her spiritual energy raising at an astonishing speed, but she unable to use any summoning spell. Even the lowest ranked spells were no good. This put intense worry on Sanshui and Chen Hongyu. After going through countless deliberations, reflections and attempts, they finally determined that Chen Yingers body deliberately sealed her genius. This seal came straight from her gifted talents, and external forces werent able to help break it through. But a seal of such intensity required Chen Yinger to reach about the seventh step of cultivation to break it. But she was after all the Spiritual Saint Girl, and was gifted with an extraordinary ability, and that was the Creature Summoning Gate. But unfortunately, her cultivation was insufficient, making her unable to wield the power of the Creature Summoning Gate properly. Therefore she became the most unreliable member of Long Haochens team as their summoner. With the passage of time, things changed. Having obtained plentiful training in the Demon Hunt Squad, Chen Yinger outgrew her rebellious and ignorant phase. Through incessant battles against demons, incessantly raising her cultivation, and seeing herrades progress, her scatterbrain t gradually disappeared, reced with a longing for strength. Even if the sixty fourthmander grade Demon Hunt Squad hadnt dissolved, she would probably havee back, to the Spiritual Temple, to attempt to break through the seal that had bound her for twenty years, bing the true Spiritual Saint Girl. A soft milky-white spiritual energy was moving rhythmically in this fantastic room. This private room should originally be used by the head of the Spiritual Temple. It gave arge assistance for ones cultivation. Starting from the day Chen Yinger came back, this became her territory. Having set herself free of all distractions, she entered a state of deep meditation. When Chen Yinger started meditating, she had the same thought as Wang Yuanyuan: _I want to be a more useful person to the team. I want to help Captain._ Tomb Bringing Mountain Pass, Mage Temple. Dark green hair was draping on his shoulder, and although it wasnt as long as originally, it reached at least the level of his back. Lin Xins appearance was quite sorry. His previous long hair was in disarray and beard had already surfaced on face, which became thin. But his pair of eyes were especially bright, with a single minded look. This was enough to give one an undescriptible feeling. Over this past year, one could say that he has been busy every single day. Starting from the day of his return in the Mage Temple, he asked for a private room from his grandfather, exploiting therge amount of resources brought back from the demon territory. During this period, he made use of his good rtion with the Alliances Great Auction House to sellrge amount of resources at low price, helping them to hold out in the front lines. At the same time, he gained a bond from the side of the Alliances Great Auction House. That the Alliances Great Auction House would supply him with the resources he needed. The great-master that crafted Bloodstorm using the material from the Saw Skates was found by the Alliances Great Auction House for him. Otherwise, with his ability, how could he find a great-master able to make a piece of Legendary Equipment in such a short time? That great-master said that this weapon was made for ughter, and that through the blood of many enemies, fundamental changes would very possibly appear in it. In other words, this piece of equipment had the possibility to advance to the Epic Tier. The source of this possibility came from some of the blood of the Snake Demon God Andromalius provided by Lin Xin. Soaked in the blood of a demon god, Bloodstorm gained the possibility of evolution. Lin Xins body and mind were devoted in making pills. Relying on the existence of the Spiritual Stove of Heart of Fire, he made considerable progress in alchemy. As for ordinary Spiritual Recovery Pills and Spiritual Bursting Pills, he was able to producerge batches of it. Therefore, he obtained special awards from the higher-ups of the Temple, and the inner branch of the Mage Temple supplied him withrge amounts of precious resources. While making a batch of ordinary pills, Lin Xin also put a lot of effort in improving the process of his pill-making. First of all, he recovered the method to make the Forest Boa Training Pill, and used nine galls of the Forest Boas, with three Ice Immortal Fruits, and over a dozen other ingredients, seeding in his objective. Among these, he used the gall and internal pill of the Forest Boa King to make a total of thirty five pills, enough for five per person. Including Long Haochen, everyone was sent a portion. The Forest Boa Training Pills made from ordinary Forest Boas were over two hundred, and all were divided between everyone. Only thirty of them were handed to the side of the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower, getting arge amount of contribution points in return. After the Forest Boa Training Pills were done being made, Lin Xin immediately devoted himself to his most important field of research, and the one he was the most hopeful toplete, the Spiritual Boosting Pills. At the time Long Haochen and Lin Xin just got acquainted, Lin Xin gave him a bottle of Spiritual Boosting Pills. Only, these were only useful for fifth step or below, and although their effects were not bad, its uses were limited. Lin Xin understood clearly that to hisrades and himself, Spiritual Boosting Pills were the most important. With the growth of ones cultivation, gaining spiritual energy bes more challenging. And furthermore, his Spiritual Boosting Pills needed to be devoid of side-effects, relying only on ones body to increase his spiritual energy. This required many precious treasures to be used, and also a lot of experiments. Lin Xin used himself as an experiment subject, researching for over half a year. Sparing no costs for these experiments, he finally seeded some timeter. The pills he seeded in making bore no restrictions, and could be consumed by any vocation without side effects. Taking one would increase ones internal spiritual energy by a hundred units. These Spiritual Boosting Pills were named Xin Pills, taking after his own name, showing how satisfied he was with his own work. However, the Xin Pills didnte without any restriction. The material required was precious, so after making three batches, Lin Xin stopped producing more of them. These three lots made up a total of two hundred pills, but this did not amount to much after getting split among the seven of them. Nheless, it would help to increase everyones internal spiritual energy by three thousand units. However, this pioneering work was full of ingenuity. In theory, as long as they managed to keep killing demon gods and Devil Dragons, these Xin Pills could keep being made. After all, the huge carcass of the Forest Boa King was enough to make several hundred more batches of pills, as for the other treasures, they could be collected with the backup from the Alliance. Outside of the Xin Pills, Lin Xin also had made brand new Cojoined Boosting Pills, with greatly reduced side-effects and a much greater boost. One could say that this year, Lin Xin became formally a great-master alchemist thanks to therge amount of precious resources they collected. Although he kept making pills day and night, and didnt spend much time resting, the continuous use of the Heart of Fire for refining required use of his spiritual energy. With Lin Xins single-minded attitude and under this continuous use of his internal spiritual energy, Lin Xins progress was even faster than Wang Yuanyuan who seeked for breakthrough through incessant ughters. In the past month, while seeding in making the Xin Pills, his internal spiritual energy formally broke through the seventh step, opening his second spiritual cavity. After the most important pills were done being researched, Lin Xin spent thest month a lot more rxedly. Through the enormous supplies from the Mage Temple and the Alliances Great Auction House, great amounts of Spiritual Recovery Pills and Spiritual Bursting Pills were sent to the war front to boost the strength of the fighters in the battlefront. In fact, the greatest benefit of the pills was that they could be used jointly with magic boosts. Merely one or two pills wouldnt affect the whole battle, butrge supplies of pills had the possibility to overturn the situation in crucial times. _Pop._ Blue fire ascended, enveloping entirely the immense stove inside. This way, three times the mes vanished, and Lin Xins face looked tired. His butt sitting on the nearby chair, he seeded in making another batch. But this time, an anxious voice sounded out from the other side of the door, Lin Xin, no good, Lin Xin she Chapter 483 - Lin Xin wants to study offensive magic.

Chapter 483: Lin Xin wants to study offensive magic.

Hearing about Li Xin, Lin Xin whose face looked totally exhausted from making pills, immediately stood up from his chair, sprinting at full speed towards the door. In fact, the Mage Temple gave the strict order that even the Temple Head himself didnt have the right to directly open the door, and the outside was strictly guarded. Entery was only granted after getting Lin Xins permission. Opening the door, he immediately saw a familiar face, that was Dyan, warrior of the former fourth soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, that advancedter as twenty-second general grade Demon Hunt Squad, from Lin Xins team. From the start of the Holy War, all the Demon Hunt Squads went to war. After getting the order, Luc Xi personally brought his Demon Hunt Squad to fight at the Mage Temple. Right as Lin Xin returned, he ran across Lin Xin a few times. All the members of her Demon Hunt Squad, were given permission toe to his pill-making isted room, and they were given Lin Xins freshly made pills for use. Although Lin Xin was worried about the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad being in the frontlines, the most important matter in his eyes was to keep making pills. Therefore, all he could do was to hand his best pills for Lin Xins sides uses, and was unable to help in any other way. What he feared the most was to hear Li Xin having an ident in the battlefield. Hows Li Xin? Lin Xin asked eagerly. Dyan was entirely blood-soaked, hisplexion very unsightly. Visibly, he went past his limits, yet immediately came to inform Lin Xin at full speed. It was clear from this that a major ident had urred. Dyans eyes were bloodshot, and seeing the tired Lin Xin, he showed some hesitation. Clenching his teeth, he still spoke of the matter. The demon scoundrel justunched a charge, and to protect the team, vice captain stopped the enemy in an all out effort, and she, she What happened to her? Why dont you hurry up and tell me! Lin Xin grabbed the shoulder of the much more muscr Dyan, almost about to spout out fire from his eyes. Dyan took a deep breath, Lin Xin, you have to stay firm. Vice captains left arm was chopped off by the demons. She is having emergency treatment. Although Captain saved her life, Im afraid that her left arm is Hearing that, Lin Xin felt his brain buzzing out, as if about to explode. The hairs on his whole body instantly stood, and his arms that were grabbing Dyans shoulder actually caused his whole armor to tter. Through the use of the Forest Boa Body Foundation Pills, his external spiritual energy reached a considerable level. Under the impulse of his emotions, his strength was enough to cause an armor at Glorious Tier to tter. Where is she? Bring me to her quickly! Lin Xins shout seemed close to a howl. Dyan nodded, turning back and running. Lin Xin followed with haste, running at high speed. The ce where Lin Xin made his pills was located in the depths of the Mage Temple. The distance separating it to the frontline was considerable, but he didnt seem to give any consideration to that fact, only following Dyan at full speed. Just who wounded Xiner, who was it? While running, Lin Xin asked Dyan, full of rancor. He replied, It was a Gold Dual ded Demon, who suddenlyunched a sneak attack against Captain from the sidelines. Vice-captain was originally in battle with a strong enemy, but at the moment of the disaster, she stepped forward bravely and stood in front of the Gold Dual ded Demon. In exchange for that injury, she got rid of the bastard, but her arm is Lin Xin only felt surges of sharp pain filling his heartpletely. To a knight, be it a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight, the arms were of an undeniable importance. As a Retribution Knight, losing an arm was like losing half of her strength to Li Xin! How could she bear it given her nature? As the two of them were rushing as fast as possible, a group of people were running to them rapidly. Wasnt that everyone from the 22nd Demon Hunt Squad? Surges of golden light kept glinting, as Han Daosi and Yijun were raising a stretcher. The mage who kept applying healing magic was Luc Xi, but both his eyes were bloody red, and his face looked unsightly. Xiner! Lin Xin shouted loudly, taking a stride after another, actually pushing away the nearby Luc Xi as he threw himself in front of the stretcher. Although he already guessed how Li Xins current situation would be, at the time he saw her for real, tears fell from his eyes beyond his control. Li Xins left shoulder was cut from the root, and her cut arm was on the side. It was not only severed and cut, but her left arm was visibly used to resist the enemy attacks, her wrist being totally snapped. Her already separated arm was furthermore cut in two, making him pale after looking at that scene. The blood loss was already stopped, but Li Xins face was like a sheet of paper, her eyes deep ck. The fluctuations of spiritual energy around her were extremely feeble, and her armor was extremely damaged. From this it could be seen how desperate her previous battle was. Her right arm was still tightly grasping a heavy sword, unwilling to let go of it. Xiner! Xiner! Lin Xin took out a bottle of pills, putting one in his own mouth, before transmitting it in Li Xins pale mouth, letting the liquid from the pill pass through. Lin Xin didnt lose consciousness, she was stillpletely awake. Seeing Lin Xin, she forced out a smile, Idiot, why did you run out here? This ce is very close to the frontlines, its dangerous. Dangerous? Look at yourself. How could I note? You are the idiot, idiot! Saying all this, Lin Xin violently turned back, grabbing Luc Xis gown from the front, Are you a fuckin man? Having a girl stand and protect you? Didnt you promise that you would look after Xiner well? Bastard! Seeing the bloody red color of Lin Xins eyes, Luc Xi didnt show any struggle. Letting himself being pushed, his face was extremely agonized. If it was possible, he would rather be the one lying on the stretcher to be himself instead of Li Xin! Everything just happened so fast, when that treacherous Gold Dual ded Demon mounted a sneak attack against him from the side there was no time. Luc Xi was after all a mere priest. Lin Xin, calm down! Li Xin cast an angry look at him. Rapidly letting go of Luc Xis hand, he returned to her side. Cautiously grabbing her arm, he dered, Li Xin, dont be sad. No matter what the cost is, I will help you recover your hand. Overflowing with tears, this was the first time he was confronted with such pain. He suddenly realized how powerless he was. To be unable to even protect a single girl. To say nothing of how he would exin the things to Long Haochen, even his own heart was unable to ept that. Li Xin said weakly, Its nothing. General squad members will hardly not die in battle, and moreover Im still not dead. I will stay strong. With my other arm, I can still keep killing demons. After saying this, she wasnt able to resist any further, her eyes shut down and she fainted on the stretcher. Bring her to my ce. I will look for the best doctor. After saying these words, Lin Xin turned his head and ran. Priests were able to heal injuries, but unable to reattach separated limbs. Lin Xin had enough good medicine to heal Li Xin, but to reattach her cut arm would require the best doctors. The earlier this was done, the better would her restored arm would be. Two hourster. Lin Xin stood silently in the room. The other members of the 22nd general grade Demon Hunt Squad were all present. Speaking of which, they were rather lucky in this side of the Holy War. At least until now, their Demon Hunt Squad didnt have any deceased. Their Demon Hunt Squad was a lot better off than Zhang Fangfangs. Of course, this was because their Demon Hunt Squad couldnt be considered very strong, so they didnt attract a lot of attention from the demon powerhouses. Luc Xis self me and pain was absolutely not below Lin xin. His eyes were also visibly bloodshot. They had been staying together all this time, looking at the doctor healing Li Xin. Li Xin could be considered lucky. At least, the treatment was done promptly, as the priest Luc Xi having already broken through the sixth step and the grandmaster alchemist Lin Xin were present. With thebined efforts of the best doctor, at least her arm was fixed back. At the current time, Li Xins whole left part was entirely covered. It wouldnt recover so soon. Doctor, how are things? Lin Xin asked the middle aged woman that put Li Xins arm back. The doctor replied, The reattachment has been done promptly, but its just that she lost too much blood, and lost a lot of vigor. She will need a very long time to recover. Lin Xins face eased up a lot, Doctor, after she recovers, will that left arm be able to use the same force as before? The doctor shook his head calmly, Im afraid that it is impossible. Her arm was cut in two, and the most vital parts of her arm sustained terrible damage. Being able to use it for daily activities would already be pretty good, operating spiritual energy will be very hard. And thats still because you brought such good pills, otherwise I am not confident that I would have been able to fix back this arm. Take good care of her. After saying that, the doctor hurriedly left. The soldiers that were waiting for her rescue were just far too many. After the doctor left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive. No one had anything to say, because they didnt know how they should react. Li Xin suffered such a serious injury, and this was not only a powerful blow to Lin Xin alone! Having lost the ability from one of her arms, Li Xin would undoubtedly have a much lower strength in case she returned to fight with her Demon Hunt Squad. Lin Xin understood her way too much. With Li Xins strong character, this blow was really severe to her. Sitting in front of the sickbed, Lin Xin dered in a gentle voice, Xiner, be at ease. No matter what, I will do my best to cure your arm. What doctors cant do, I will achieve it. Luc Xi suddenly remarked, Otherwise, how about we send her to the Southern Mountain Pass? If a saint uses his most powerful technique to heal her, it will perhaps restore the capabilities of her arm. Lin Xin shook his head calmly, Priest indeed have powerful abilities, but they can at most stimte the body, with the objective of treating someone. If that kind of method is forced on Xiner, Im afraid that it will affect her vitality that already suffered arge blow this time. Luc Xi forced a bitter smile, Its my fault for having not protected Xiner well. This is unrted to your remark. I wish I could let myself get forcibly beaten up for that. Lin Xin sighed, It cant be med on you. Its all the fault of those bastards, the demons. Saying this, he couldnt help but clench his fist. Go have a rest guys. Having me to look after Xiner is enough. Luc Xi interrupted him, Lin Xin, you are too tired. Pay attention to your own body. He really didnt know what else to say to Lin Xin. At this time, words were not of much use. Leaving with hisrades, he left this ce to Lin Xin and Li Xin. Lightly fondling Li Xins pale face, a change started to appear in Lin Xins eyes, Xiner, everything is my fault, because I couldnt protect you. If that time I was by your side, even at the cost of my life, I wouldnt let the enemies harm you. Its all because I am too weak, as a mage who cannot step in the battlefield to protect his loved one. Xiner, I have made my resolve. For you, I am willing to abandon my vow. I will study offensive magic. After thesest words, Lin Xin sobbed once again. His disposition was somewhat weak. Having lost his parents early, some painful haze was buried deep in his heart. But seeing his beloved girl lying on the ground, seriously wounded, he felt like he was going mad from his powerless state. He was thinking,?If I obtain great strength, offensive power permitting me to fight alongside with her in the battlefield, even if the final ending cannot be changed, Ill at least die together with my beloved. Perhaps these were the thoughts filling father at the time he died by that spell, and mother maybe has never ever regretted. At least they died together. __ Xiner, I wont stay weak any longer. I will charge without doubt, and not fear offensive magic anymore. I will learn the most powerful attacks and use it to defeat the enemies, to protect you, my most beloved person. The sky was densely covered by dark clouds. A dense smell of blood lingered in the air. Southern Mountain Pass. In general strength, this was the weakest of the mountain passes of the Six Great Temples. Priests had powerful healing abilities, but attack was their weak point in the end. Moreover, cultivation was for a priest much harder than other vocations. This made the reason why high ranked priests are much fewer than the high ranked fighters of other vocations. If not for the uninterrupted reinforcement sent by the other five great Temples of the Alliance to assist them, the Southern Mountain Pass would long since have been broken through. Back then, when Long Haochens group was present here, wasnt the Southern Mountain Pass broken through that time? On the borders of the Southern Mountain Pass were mostly powerhouses from the other five Great Temples. Demons formerlyunched several full swing surprise attacks against priests. Although these operations would undoubtedly make the demons end up in a sorry state from the damage, the damage sustained by the Priest Temple would only be higher. Just how hard is it to cultivate a high ranked priest? Yet in the battlefield, higher ranked priest are weak, and the methods at their disposal for surviving are very limited, their offensive abilities even more limited. Chapter 484 - Do you dare? (I)

Chapter 484: Do you dare? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Therefore, no matter howrge was the cost the demons paid every time, the Southern Mountain Pass always suffered a serious setback. There was a continuous decrease of the count of the priests. In the end, the Southern Mountain Pass had no choice but to decide to recall all the priests below the seventh step inside the city, letting them be in charge of healing the injured. Only the priests of the seventh step or higher, with ability to protect themselves, would support the other powerhouses from the Alliance in fighting on the city walls. But there was an exception to anything. For instance, right now on the walls of the Southern Mountain Pass, was standing a priest even more robust than warriors and even more intrepid than knights. His build exceeded two meters, and his figure was even taller and bigger than the warriors, and his terriblerge bald head felt as a terrifying weapon to the demons. Discipline Priest of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Sima Xian. It had been a long time already that Sima Xian returned in the Southern Mountain Pass. However, he didnt immediately join the battle unlike Wang Yuanyuan. For a short period of time, he was hidden in the Priest Temple. His teacher, current auxiliary head of the Priest Temple, retained him in a private room inside the Priest Temple, where he was imparted arge amount of abilities exclusive to Discipline Priest. When heplete his training, did he finally step on the battlefield of the Southern Mountain Pass. Mentioning it, the big shots of the Priest Temple gave quite a lot of thought as his strength kept increasing continuously. Sima Xian was starting to stand out in the Temple Alliance. Although his fighting methods could cause the Priest Temple to blush, they couldnt help but admit that Sima Xian was powerful among priests. This Holy War caused the priests to realize theirck of abilities in self-preservation. And the specialization of Discipline Priest, which originally ranked as a very unusual one in the history was finally mentioned in a meeting between the powerhouses of the Priest Temple. Finally, the Priest Temple came to the decision to view Sima Xians aplishments as a trial. By fostering him with their all, they would see what final strength priests could bring out if they specialized inbat. But as a matter of fact, the power of a Discipline Priest even surpassed the expectations of the higher ups from the Priest Temple. The first time Sima Xian stepped on the battlefield, he shocked everyone present. When the terrifying power of the Gigantic Ball of Light and Sima Xians extraordinary strength were disyed for the first time, it surprised them to see that priests could be so strong. Even among the warriors of the same rank, none couldpare with Sima Xian. In Sima Xians hands, the Energetic Ball of Light gained in attack patterns. This was especially the case after he took the Forest Boa Training Pill, making Sima Xians external spiritual energy rise rapidly. Currently , his cultivation brazenly broke through the seventh step, and who knows how many lower ranked demons died in his hands. And furthermore, Sima Xian wasnt as reckless as his appearance would lead to think. In case an enemy turns out hard to handle, he wouldnt go stake everything in the battle. The Southern Mountain Pass was after all in human territory, thus guarded by many powerhouses. This was how his fighting strength blossomed, to the extent that the person himself lost the count of the demons deceased in his hands. Sima, the demon offense ising. A petite female mage shouted loudly in front of Sima Xian. Her scouting through Eagles Eye spotted movements from the distant demon armies. Sima Xian turned back, showing a grin to this female mage, followed with a thumbs up, indicating his understanding of the situation. Lifting up the Energetic Ball of Light, an extremely tyrannical spiritual energy of the light attribute burst forth from it. That female mage was a fire mage. In the past, she had always believed her offensive power as a fire mage to be the strongestpared to all vocations at the same rank. But ever since she got to know Sima Xian, she came to understand that she was mistaken. This fire mage was only at the fifth step of cultivation, and thus assigned to support this side of the battlefield in firepower. When she came here first, seeing that the one standing there was a priest, she couldnt help but feel great shock. _A priest defending a mage? Is there a mistake?_ But after the demons came charging, she came to realize how excessive her mistake was. Those terrifying explosions, and the tyrannical bursts of light elemental spiritual energy made her personally witness the presence of a total meat grinder. Later, she had been cooperating many times with Sima Xian. Standing behind his back, she very naturally had a strong feeling of safety. It was as if with him here, she didnt have to worry about her safety at all. The demon armiesunched another charge, with the Dual ded Demons serving as cannon fodder as usual. Human warriors already umted a plentiful experience in the battle, and the mages didnt waste any of their precious spiritual energy against these cannon fodder, letting them climb above the city walls as they pleased. Although the massive amount of Dual ded Demon would impact the city walls to some extent, this prevented demons from more powerful ns to gather and attack. When several dozen Dual ded Demons climbed the walls on Sima Xians side, he let out a snort, not even throwing the Energetic Ball of Light, but charging at them with a kind of rude and unreasonable posture. There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, only physical force. Sima Xian even abandoned defense entirely, allowing the attacks of the Dual ded Demons tond on his upper body. His tyrannical external spiritual energy became the greatest kind of defense. Sima Xian wasnt even d in armor, and depended solely on his physical body to block the attacks of the Dual ded Demons. On his skin, all they left were invisible traces. Choosing not to put an armor was a habit Sima Xian took after participating in this Holy War. He decided on the path he chose to take, and that was to use his domineering external spiritual energy to assist his internal spiritual energy. Trained to the limits, his external spiritual energy was a frightful existence. Now Sima Xians internal spiritual energy reached ten thousand units, but with his special talent, his external spiritual energy already surpassed 15,000 units, enough topare with Long Haochen despite him being a gods chosen one. Among demons, even lower ranked powerhouses of the eighth step would find him hard to handle. Upon encountering Sima Xian, Dual ded Demons were crushed one after another, like sand beneath a foot. When Sima Xian stood, his body appeared like an impregnable fortress, not letting the Dual ded Demons take the slightest step. Even more powerful demon reinforcements came out rushing, blending with the Dual ded Demons, Berserk Demons, Birdy Demons, Dual Headed Demonic Eagles, Demonic Bears, Demonic Lions, and even Grand Fiends of the Fiend n started to join the battle. _Bangdang_ A Fiend Commander of sixth step jumped above the city walls, picking up his heavy sword to meet Sima Xian. The iparable power of the Energetic Ball of Light came to bombard him, performing a very intimate direct touch on his face. That was a Fiend Commander of the sixth step! In front of the Energetic Ball of Light, he didnt even have the strength to resist. With violent sounds of explosion, the Energetic Ball of Light let out a sparkle of golden light, and the heavy sword in the Fiend Commanders hand was totally broken in pieces along with his breastbone. Through incessant use and training, the skills that could be used with the Energetic Ball of Light were already not the same as the original ones. Sima Xian called it his most treasured weapon, and created a set of powerful techniques for using it. For instance, the previous simple attack actually concentrated both Smash and st, but without Absorption, and without the use of the formidable might of the Godly Purple Thunder Spiritual Stove. By separating the abilities and adding some self-created skills, he managed to spare himself from arge consumption of internal spiritual energy. For the things that could be done through the use of external spiritual energy, Sima Xian wouldnt use his internal spiritual energy be wasted. This way, his ability to retain his fighting ability would be way greater. A rapid session of fireballs was shot from Sima Xians side, reducing the series of Dual ded Demons that wereing up to fragments. Sima Xian didnt even turn his head, perfectly aware that this work was done by the female mage around his own age. The two of them could be said to have not cooperated for long, but their tacit understanding was excellent. However, every time he set his eyes on the sting prowesses of a magic spell, it unawarely made him think about has-drug-bro. Although Lin Xin was incapable of using offensive magic, thinking about those times, Sima Xian only had a smile stered on his face unconsciously. _Oh brother, I cant help but think a little of you. I dont know when well stand in the battlefield together again. It would be so good to have you stand behind me now._ _Groaa!_ A tyrannical howl rang out, pulling Sima Xian back from his thoughts. An imposing figure then climbed on the city walls. _Bang._ Crushed bones flew away, as thatrge demon that just ascended the city walls swept its mace through the battlefield. A fierce and tough aura was mixed with the bloody stenching all along. Demonic Bear, one of the most tyrannical demon physically. Even Devil Dragons would find it hard topete in strength with peak level Demonic Bears. This Demon in front of Sima Xians eyes was only three meters tall, which couldnt be considered to be a high number for a Demonic Bear. But each of its hairs was dark silver colored. Right after climbing above the walls, his imposing demeanor greatly boosted the morale of the other demons. Demonic Bearmander. Demon of the eighth step. Sima Xian narrowed his eyes. He knew that he had encountered a powerful enemy. The mace in the hands of this Demonic Bear reached a length simr to his size, about three meters. Its thickest part was close to the Energetic Ball of Light in diameter. This was a terrifying weapon, to be able to wreck the city walls so easily. Its terrible power was probably nothing he couldpare with. The Demonic Bear bellowed towards the sky, full of terrible might. His gaze was locked on Sima Xian, the Energetic Ball of Light in his eyes making him only too obvious. The immense mace was abruptly raised upwards, blowing the wind in its way. The face of the female mage not far behind Sima Xian lost its color. If this kind of domineering weapon was aimed at her, she would directly turn into dust by fear. Chapter 485 - Do you dare? (II)

Chapter 485: Do you dare? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Sima Xian was joyful and fearless. Simrly bellowing loudly, a dense light essence abruptly burst forth from him, his right arm immediately turning transparent. This was an amplifying skill simr to the knights Brilliant Body. Not only that, but his original majestic body grew sharply, the muscles on his upper body expending. Tinged in its golden color, the light essenceing out from him seemed to have gained a wild red color. And the spiritual energy surrounding him turned into a pure gold color. His imposing manner grew in a split second, as he strode forward in big strides, rushing to wee that Demonic Bear. The massive mace was directly smashed towards Sima Xians head, its terrifying oppressive force producing buzzing sounds in the air. Using the word terrible was not even enough to describe that. Its weight ought to be over five hundred kilograms. Looking at the scene, when the Demonic Bear Commanders mace collided with Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light, Sima Xians steps became frantic, his body covering one meter on the side. His whole body stumbled, and even the Energetic Ball of Light disappeared from sight. This move revealed the female mage behind him. Even if the Demonic Bear was unable to attack him with this blow, his mace was raised up and aimed forward, aiming to smash the female mage behind him to shreds. She lost all color on her face. Staggering back, she could smell a bloody stench from the thick item aimed at her. Right that moment, Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light made its move. Before the distance from the mace to the ground reached a meter, his Energetic Ball of Light was swept outrageously right on its target, interrupting the maces attack. With arge bang, the attack from the thick mace was pushed away vertically, and the movement of that Demonic Bear came to a stop. But at the same time, due to the powerful bacsh, Sima Xian stumbled several steps away. But these movements were just right, as it propelled him ahead, and the jolted Energetic Ball of Light was brandished by the means of its chains, smashing at the arms of the Demonic Bear, gripping its weapon. The enormous volume of the mace made it naturally heavy, and by borrowing force from that, along with his exquisite footwork, Sima Xian managed to actually reverse the situation, taking the initiative tounch the offense before giving the opponent an opportunity. The Demonic Bear Commander after all deserved his name. His strength being at the eighth step, he didnt look affected by having his weapon pushed back by Sima Xian. Gripping his rough tail with both his hands, he used the conical back part of that mace to thrust at the Energetic Ball of Light. But to his misfortune, this Demonic Bear Commander didnt pay attention to the eyes of Sima Xian, glinting in a mystical light. _Bang!_ A massive metallic ball shed together with the back of the mace, and the Energetic Ball of Light was once again jolted. But that Demonic Bear Commander underestimated Sima Xians strength, as this attack didnt inflict him any damage, causing him to stumble once again, his whole upper body making a forty five degrees rotation. Sima Xians external spiritual energy surpassed 15,000 units, which could be added up to the instant boost brought by Berserk ability. In raw strength, this couldntpare to the Demonic Bear, but through borrowing the enemys force and the additional abilities carried by the Energetic Ball of Light, he didnt suffer a loss in terms of power. After the Energetic Ball of Light was once again jolted, Sima Xian who was pretty close to the Demonic Bear Commander caused the Energetic Ball of Light this time to spin, directed above, and aiming to smash at the lower jaw of the Demonic Bear. The external spiritual energy of the Demonic Bear Commander exceeded 30,000 units, but even so, in case his jaw got smashed by the Energetic Ball of Light, Sima Xian was pretty sure that his brain would surely turn into a crushed watermelon. The Demonic Bear Commander became furious. Falling back aside, his body was even pushed askew. By the time he recalibrated, the Energetic Ball of Light came back at him borrowing force, and this time, using the mace to resist was clearly impossible. The Demonic Bear Commander was also a veteran in terms of battle. At the crucial point of the battle, he made the choice he deemed as the best, letting go of that heavy and terrifying mace in his hands. Aiming his ws downwards, he smacked onto the Energetic Ball of Light. Having lost his weapon, the Demonic Bear Commander was like a wless beast. But that didnt make him less frightful in terms of brute force. One could see that the dark silvery hair on the whole body of this Demonic Bear were bursting out with darkness elemental essence, which gathered in his palms, shing violently against the Gigantic Ball of Light. _Bamdam!_ A thundering sound of explosion reverberated in the whole Southern Mountain Pass. The iparably dense burst of golden light was instantly dispersed, and purple electric light curled up all around. Letting out sounds of cracking, it let out a burnt stench. The instant the hands of the Demonic Bear came in contact with that Energetic Ball of Light, a violent explosion was produced, and due to the difference in cultivation, his hands were violently shaken. And next, his right leg swept, aiming at the mace that was falling. Borrowing his horns strength, he swept his mace and jabbed it at Sima Xian. However, this move was notplete. Thats because at the same time his palms burst out, an intense numbness hit his senses, spreading out to his whole body. Around his dark silver hairs, a purplish electric current was curling. The suffering from this feeling of numbness even exceeded the one that came from pain. Right, in his attack, Sima Xian went all out. Using Saint Light Knock, st, Crush, Absorption, and triyered st. To all this, even his Berserk state, the full force of his external spiritual energy and Purple Godly Thunder Spiritual Stove was added up. This attacked looked simple, but consumed nearly a third of Sima Xians spiritual energy . The Gigantic Ball of Light was made to emit its greatest brilliance. Having both his arms repelled and rattled, the Demonic Bear Commanders chest was naturally open wide. Sima Xian stomped heavily on the ground with his right foot, jumping high, ruthlessly smashing the Gigantic Ball of Light with all the force he could muster with his arms. This instant, both his hands had turned into a translucent white color. Holy Spirit, an ability producing a pure burst of light essence. _Bang!_ The Gigantic Ball of Light was smashed by Sima Xians full strength, striking the chest of the Demonic Bear loudly, producing a pure sh of strength between the golden ball and the thick muscles. In a loud explosion, the Purple Godly Thunder Spiritual Stove unleashed nine bolts of thunder, each of which was in the shape of a dragon , making way inside the Demonic Bears body. The heavy explosion directly sent the Demonic Bear flying, sending him away from the city walls. However, this Demonic Bears defense was truly terrifying. Even after sustaining such heavy damage, only his nose seemed to leak out blood. And when the Gigantic Ball of Light struck once again, it didnt even break through his hard chest. The title of greatest defense specialists among demons wasnt for show. Would Sima Xian let himself be done like that? Even if he couldnt win, he wouldnt let his life be taken by this Demonic Bear. Unfortunately for the Demonic Bear, from the instant Sima Xian started attacking, he didnt have the slightest intention of letting the enemy off. _It will be either you or me._ Without such mentality, how could he keep improving in the battlefield? Large chains were suddenly pulled up, and the Gigantic Ball of Light stuck on the Demonic Bears was abruptly pulled back, bringing along the massive figure of that Demonic Bear Commander. The numbness from the Purple Godly Thunder Spiritual Stove still present, the enemy wasnt able to show the slightest resistance. Sima Xian gave a kick on his weapon, immediately sending the Demonic Bear Commander to the sky. Immediately, the Gigantic Ball of Light followed with an horizontal swipe, aiming for the head. With his great resistance and resilience, the Demonic Bear Commander finally recovered his senses in midair. Although the Gigantic Ball of Light didnt strike the bones on his chest, after sustaining the great killing power of the spiritual stove, a great part of the flesh on his chest was charred. The terrifying jolting force was unbearable to the demon which was already in a heavily wounded state. But even so, the Demonic Bear Commander didnt understand in which aspect he could have lost. Be it in strength, cultivation, physique, he should be above this human. Although his weapon was outstanding, it shouldnt be enough for him to be so thoroughly beaten without chance of payback, being entirely led by the nose. Of course, the Demonic Bear Commander didnt know how much Sima Xian invested in his physical strength or the ancient battle techniques he acquired along with Long Haochen. Each of them learnt in particr how to make the best use of chances, about the ways one can disy the most of his power. The Demonic Bear Commander indeed had a great defense, its spiritual energy surpassing Sima Xian greatly. But his weight became a burden. A Demonic Bear was only fit to stand at the front in a battlefield, but in a situation of one versus one, being so heavy was disadvantageous. Although, Sima Xians weapon was not necessarily much superior than the enemys, the two of them didnt wield their weapons with the same mastery. From the beginning, the demonic bear didnt have the chance to make full use of his power. Facing the threat of death, the Demonic Bear Commander let out a mournful shout in the air, and the hairs on his whole body stood. A massive shadow appeared on his back: Bear Force. This Demonic Bear atmander level indeed had a formidable power, only, he didnt have the chance to disy it till now. A dense ck color suddenly enveloped his arms, swinging down with full force, and weing the bombardment of the Gigantic Ball of Light. Chapter 486 - Do you dare? (III)

Chapter 486: Do you dare? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales This Demonic Bear Commander waspletely terrified. His only wish was to get away from the citys edge, from this terrifying man wielding metal ball. _Boum!_ Letting out terrible colliding sounds, the body of the Demonic Bear Commander was bombarded continuously. Right as he wanted to make use of the momentum to escape the area, a massive shadow swept down, falling on his back, and he backed up. And that massive shadow was precisely the mace that used to be in the hands of the Demonic Bear Commander at the beginning. The mace was kicked by Sima Xian heavily, and although the Demonic Bear Commander had blocked the Gigantic Ball of Light using Bear Force, he was unable to block thisunch. The thickest part of this mace smashed fiercely against the bare back of the Demonic Bear Commander. A loud impact followed, and the mace cut his flesh, before falling to the ground once again. And shockingly, that bald man disappearedpletely in the meantime. Along with his descent came a fireball extending on a diameter of half a meter. The Demonic Bear Commander felt really depressed this time. In his peak state, such a fireball would be totally harmless. But it wasnt the case at this point. Left without choice, he raised his hands to resist the fireball. A Demonic Bear ofmander rank was indeed quite strong. Taking the st from this Bursting Fireball of the fifth step only caused his body toe to a standstill in midair, before falling. He didnt sustain any damage, only had some blood leaking out from the charred wound on his chest But right this time, the Demonic Bear let out a terrible cry. Falling downwards, and falling violently on the wall, hisst scream became fainter and fainter. At some unknown point, that overwhelming priest had appeared on his back, shing on the central nerves of the demon with a silver dagger, before aiming a thrust at his brain. The wings on his back disappeared, and Sima Xian gasped loudly for breath. At the time the Demonic Bear was struck by his own weapon, Sima Xian was already in the air, flying in his direction, reaching his target at the same time as the fireball. And this terrible dagger, reaching two third of a meter in width and one meter and a third in length, a shrunken version of Wang Yuanyuans weapon Bloodstorm. Although its formidable power was by no means equal to Bloodstorm, this Blood Dagger, which was nearing the legendary threshold, was made from horns of Saw Skate?. Its prative power was nothing the Energetic Ball of Light couldpare. Knowing well of the Demonic Bear Commanders tough defense, and being in the Berserk state, his reserves were already greatly used up. In case he didnt manage to stop the Demonic Bear Commander, maybe the side effects would permit the opponent to dominate him. For this reason, he used this Blood Dagger to achieve therge strike, wrecking the vital parts of this Demonic Bear. Seated on the corpse of the Demonic Bear Commander, Sima Xian gasped forrge quantities of air. The bloody scent was still present, and he simply dug out the magical crystal of the Demonic Bear Commander without reservation, collecting it in his storage device. Perhaps he was influenced by Lin Xin, but Sima Xian was enjoying and never getting tired of collecting high ranked magical crystals in the battlefield. The enemies were too numerous, so they were clearly not given enough time to gather the corpses, but collecting the magical crystals was no issue. And he already lost the count of the high ranked magical crystals he collected. The Holy War inflicted severe damage to humans, but in the same way, the opportunitiesing along with danger multiply. The female mage seeing Sima Xians tired look, disyed a zing look, taking quick steps in front of him and handing him a bottle of pills. Sima Xian took this bottle of pills, taking out a few of them to swallow these at once. Unhappily, heined, That enemy was really strong. Just a bit more and I wouldnt have beaten him. The female mage had an ashamed look on her face, Sorry that I couldnt help you at all. Sima Xian lifted up his head, showing a grin to that pretty female mage, Dont worry. This fellow was at the eighth step. Your magic power is not sufficient, theres nothing you can do about it. The female mage beat her well developed chest, dering, You just gave me a terrible fright! Just before you pushed his attack away, I really thought you were going to abandon me. Sima Xian let out a mischievousughter, So you only trust your brother this much! As long as this man is alive, no one shall make a single move on you. The female mage felt her chest turn red, calmly nodding to him. Then Sima Xian turned to the side. Jumping down from the back of the Demonic Bearmander, he gave a kick to the side. This was the corpse of a demon of the eighth step, which would fetch a very high price. Kicking it out of the town would be really a waste. A bit ahead, he took the massive mace glinting in dark golden light and picked it up. At the time this guy struck the back of the Demonic Bearmander, he clearly saw that as his mace glinted in golden light, a fierce power burst out from inside it. However, this thing was just toorge. Although Sima Xian was tall, the handle of that mace was impossible for him to control. The reason why he didnt use his storage tool to take in the corpse of that Demonic Bear was to keep store it. Aftering back, hed look for a craftmaster to transform it, and make it useable for him. After getting used to the Energetic Ball of Light, he grew a fondness for heavy weapons. When the powerhousesing for reinforcement arrived, Sima Xians side had already gotten rid of this Demonic Bearmander of the eighth step, with all the surrounding fighters as witnesses. Seeing how exhausted he became, there was naturally someone else who took over his area. Sima Xian didnt try to be brave, and rapidly retreated to the back, finding a corner to sit, where he breathed insatiably. Although the previous battle was thrilling, and it turned out to be immensely enjoyable in his eyes. Beating a Demonic Bear of such level gained him a great treasure that would undoubtedly enable to raise his strength enormously. The female mage sat beside him, handing him a sack of water. Sima Xian wasnt polite, and emptied it entirely. How fulfilling. But how is it that this water contains such a sweet fragrance? Almost making me sneeze. The female mage unhappily red at him, This water is personally used by thisdy. Whats with my smell being sweet? Do you think Im a barbarian like you? Sima Xianughed in response, scratching his head, It wont do then. Youre a girl after all, dont share your own drink like that again next time. The female mage snorted to him, Whats with me being a girl? In the current situation, theres no saying whether we can stay alive tomorrow. Everyday is filled with countless ughters. Didnt you see how frail our lives are? Do you dare ept if this girl dares sleep with you right here? Do you dare? Eck Sima Xian really didnt expect her to be so intrepid. The previously frantic and unstoppable Discipline Priest clearly became somewhat embarrassed. Are you having a fever? Sima Xian cautiously asked. The female mage bit her red lips in reaction, Whos having a freaking fever? So you wont ept? So even if its sitting in front of you, you wont dare take it? This girl is okay with anything. Sima Xian forced a smile, Dont be like that. I find it a bit hard to ept. The female mage let out a cold snort, Let it be then. After saying this, she sat to another side. Actually, only she knew this, but her heart was really beating fast. Right! In this Holy War, who knew how much longer they would be able to keep living? Perhaps they would be dead the next instant. This female mage knew clearly how many times Sima Xian saved her life. Every time, his tall figure was standing in front of her, protecting her and stopping the frantic attacks of the enemies. At the time he got rid of that Demonic Bear, the female mage felt herst defenses being ovee. She didnt know whether what she felt for him was love, but her thoughts towards him were frantic, even willing to give her most precious thing to him. At least this way even if she died in this southern mountain pass, her life wont have been lived for naught. Sorry girl. I already have a girlfriend. Sima Xian tried to exin. He could tell that this girl was clearly far from undisturbed in this situation. I know that. Isnt that about that little white flower? You are taking a look several times every day at the letters she wrote to you. Who among the people knowing you doesnt know? Even so, this girl doesnt mind. The female mage suddenly turned her head, staring with a very fierce gaze at Sima Xian. Sima Xian shook his head, Wont do. I am a loyal man. Let it be. You think I really cherish you?? The female mage abruptly stood up, giving a p to Sima Xian. Sima Xian looked nk being hit by her. Right as the lustrous tears were falling from the eyes of the female mage, she suddenly realized that the look on the face of this bald priest suddenly changed, abruptly pushing her down with the pressure of a mountain. _Isnt this too fierce?_ The immense weight that pressed the female mage down caused her to be unable to breathe, letting out a sweet and strong smell. It was blood, flowing from the corners of Sima Xians and dripping on the face of this girl. . Sima Xian abruptly rolled to the side, taking her along to a corner. The female mage then saw that on Sima Xians back, an immense wound had appeared. And at the ce from where Sima Xian fell before, an invisible figure was struck by the des of the powerhouses from the Alliance. Dyke Invisible Demon, at least at the sixth step of cultivation. How are you? Dont scare me like that? The female mage held Sima Xians head, looking at his lips dyed with blood. For a moment, she didnt know what to do. Its nothing, I wont die from this. The fucking weapon had some prative effects. By chance I avoided getting struck in the vitals. Sima Xian was gasping withrge breaths, gulping a few more pills. Chapter 487 - The four letters of Little White Flower’(I)

Chapter 487: The four letters of Little White Flower(I)

Trantor: GravityTales (I) A golden light appeared on time, falling on Sima Xians body. Who knows which powerful priest payed attention to this situation, giving him very effective healing. The female mage bit her lips as she looked at this bald male. After quite a while, she suddenly grabbed Sima Xians neck, fiercely kissing him. This act was really too sudden, adding with the weak state of Sima Xians body, there was simply no way to avoid being kissed like that. At this time, Sima Xians mind went thinking, _How am I going to ount for my little white flower?_ This kiss came fast and also ended fast. The female mage abruptly lifted up her head, full of aggressiveness, I dont care about whatever little white flower. I am set on you, and wont take any refusal. But my heart is already taken Sima Xian spoke out his hearts content. The female warrior snorted in disdain, All I want is your body. I dont demand your heart. I Sima Xian simply kept his mouth shut, because he didnt know what he should say. The guts of this girl was such that even men wouldnt be able topare with it. In reality, his outside appearance was straightforward, but was very soft inside. He could feel some of the thoughts in the heart of this female mage. Behind her intrepid looks actually concealed a great shiver and a fear for the war. She was simply earnestly looking for someone to rely on. This fucked up war! What a fucked up war! Seeing Sima Xians expression, the female mage gradually calmed down, leaning on him, and murmuring the words, Im sorry. Sima Xian lifted up his hands, embracing her shoulders, Its nothing. Youre the one who got the worse of it. The past is the past. Realizing that her eyes were somewhat moist, she suddenly turned her head, and looked at him, If your little white flower doesnt want you, how about letting me marry you? I am serious. At least you are a strong man. Sima Xian stayed silent, his hands letting out a sh. A few parchments appeared in his hands. Immediately, his eyes became moist. The female mage didnt speak further. When she saw Sima Xian stare fixedly at these parchments, she understood that she would never be able to get ahold of this mans heart. Sima Xian cautiously opened the parchments one after another. They were a total of four, each one preserved very well, without any damage on it. On the first one was written, Bastard, you know clearly well that I am unwilling for you to call me little pure flower, so why do you keep doing this? I hate you, and hate your freaking baldie face. But if you die in the frontline, I will hate you forever. You have toe back to me alive, no matter how long it takes. Also, send me letters. If your next letter doesnt arrive within the next three months, this girl will immediately marry off, not even letting you die in peace. Sima Xian still remembered clearly the mixed feelings that surged in his heart at the time he opened the first letter. _She gave me a reply, and told me toe back alive. She said that she would marry off if she doesnt get a reply from me. So she cares about me!_ Even he didnt know how great the propelling force and courage this letter gave him was. But he was certain that without these four letters in his hands, he wouldnt have smoothly broken through the seventh step. Second letter, Theres hope as long as you live on. Right, the second letter contained just those simple words, because at the time Sima Xian gave that little white flower the response, _Is it because you like me that you are so concerned about me? Then do I have a hope?_ The third letter, Dont you think I am terrible? If you dont fear me beating you, cursing at you,e and see me after the Holy War ends. If you were to choose between your Demon Hunt Squad and me, which one would you choose? At the time the third letter came, Sima Xian was tangled up for a long time. His original good mood was totally overturned irascibly. That time, his disy on the battlefield was especially fierce. The reply he gave Feng Linger wasposed of the few words: Demon Hunt Squad. Right, he liked Feng Linger. It was a love at first sight, a love beyond redemption. But this feeling of liking couldnt sway his conviction. , Feng Lingers fourth letter came very rapidly, I found out that I am really starting to like you. Thats because I like determined men. Train your muscles strongly, and dont dare womanize others. Then perhaps after these days pass, I wille and visit you. As long as you are still alive, you have a hope to have me by your side. Exorcist Mountain Pass, Assassin Temple. Ding. A nimble figure made a turn in the air, floating above the ground. At the time its feetnded on the ground, it didnt look steady, actually staggering several times before barely standing firm. Sweeping away therge sickle in its hands, it aimed at an empty area ahead. Ding. Another crispy sound came. Only, this time it sounded even more prolonged. Caiers whole body shook, and the sickle in her hand was repelled, she was staggering and falling to the ground. A cold ray of light appeared in front of her soundlessly, pointing at her throat, causing her skin to tremble slightly. The cold ray vanished and an aged voice could be heard, Very good. To be able to resist half an hour against my attacks, until your exhausted spiritual energy makes you unable to keep resisting, your battle techniques are already at the top of the Assassin Temple within the seventh step. Caier stood up with the support of her hands, with her forehead dripping profusely. As if throwing a tantrum, she dered to Sheng Yue, Great-grandfather, arent you taking it too seriously? Im soo tired. Following this, she went to pick up her enormous sickle fallen to the side. This was visibly not her Sickle of the God of Death, but a metallic one of same size. After all, when controlling the Sickle of the God of Death, Caier could hardly control her strength and very possibly be unable to stop her strength. Sheng Yue shook his head. Caier looked at her with some doubt, Great-grandfather, whats with you? Havent you just been praising me for learning fast and having great technique? Sheng Yue let out a slight smile, walking in front of her and stroking her head, Your current strength is pretty good. But you arecking something necessary to an assassin. What is it? Murderous spirit. Caier was startled, Then, how can I train my murderous spirit? Sheng Yue replied, The murderous spirit of an assassin is engraved in his or her bones, cultivated from training since a child. Having lost your past memories, you lost your original murderous spirit. In a battle, the greatest time for an assassin to shine is when he instantly burst out with his strongest murderous spirit, utilizing his offensive abilities to inflict serious damage in an instant to the enemy. , Caier stamped her feet onto the ground, Then, its not toote for me to learn that! But you dont let me join the battlefield, and kill the enemies! How am I supposed to train my murderous instinct. In Sheng Yues mind appeared contradicted thoughts. With a light sigh, he replied, I have no other choice! Originally, when you were very young, I had sent you to train in front of the Dagger of Samsara. That time I was fierce and determined, in spite of all the imploration from your parents. But as time passed, although you have lost your murderous spirit with losing your memories, you came to regain your childhood innocence and your happy memories. Your great-grandfather really cannot bear to see you back to your former self. It would be so great if we werent at war. I would only hope for you to stay forever happy like this. Caier opened her eyes wide, But didnt you say that I am the Saint Daughter of Samsara, who should bear the mission thates along? And I have to protect Haochen! In one year, he didnt think of visiting me. Really! Sheng Yue revealed a faint smile, Foolish girl, you cant possibly me this on him. This child Haochen carries on his shoulders a farrger burden than you. And the pressure on his shoulders is a lot greater than you. If you wish for his well-being, you have to be a good wife in the future for him. I believe that as long as the two of you are given enough time, given your talent, you will surelymand the counterattack of humanity against demons before too long. Caiers eyes went deep ck. This year, she tried who knows how many times, very hard to regain her memories. But things turned contrary to her wishes: no matter how hard she tried, nothing was recalled. To the extent that she didnt even manage to find traces of her lost memories. The Exorcist Mountain Pass was her home, and aftering back here, her feelings of hesitation toward her parents and grandfather gradually disappeared. As a matter of fact, staying here was probably the best choice for her. Except for being unable to meet with Long Haochen, this past year was full of happy memories for her. Not only she fully recovered her past strength, and her cultivation made remarkable progress, her internal spiritual energy already surpassing the 20,000 units, making fast progress towards the eighth step. Great-grandfather, lets do it once again. Even if my murderous spirit is insufficient, having sufficient strength will achieve the same results. Also, the issue of murderous spirit can be made up through my Sickle of the God of Death! Every time I wield it, I feel myself bing someone else something else :), and all my fears will naturally disappear. Sheng Yue calmly shook his head, No hurry. Recover your spiritual energy first. Caier, a short timeter, Im afraid that you will really have to step on the battlefield, though your great-grandfather will remain by your side. Are you willing? If you arent, great-grandfather wont force you. But if you want to be of help to Long Haochen in the future, thats the only choice left to you then. Caier replied without hesitation, Great-grandfather, I am willing. I want to be of help to him. Sheng Yue patted her once again, full of tender affection. He was still tangled up in various emotions, as if Caiers extremely cold and indifferent behaviour toward him was even harder to bear. Knight Temple, Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. With a glint of golden light, Long Haochen stepped out, and the illusory light surrounding him vanishedpletely. Finally, he was back to the real world once again. Finallying out from the Illusory Cave, even he didnt know how much time passed in total since the time he entered the Illusory Cave. But havinge back to the real world, he had a kind of brand-new feeling, as if he had just been reborn under a new leaf. Gentle light essence pulsed cheerfully in his surroundings. The changes on Long Haochen were indeed great. He grew a lot taller, his shoulders broader. But he didnt turn exaggeratedly robust, still giving off a very gentle and harmonious feel. Be it his face or the lines traced by his muscles, both seemed to be born from heavens. Chapter 488 - The four letters of Little White Flower’(II)

Chapter 488: The four letters of Little White Flower(II)

Trantor: GravityTales , # His long golden hair draped over the two sides of his face, and his handsome looks and holy appearance seemed to make it so that just by standing he would give off the appearance of a wind swept god of sea. His eyes were like two golden crystals, both colored in a resplendent golden color. But his look was very peaceful, when gazing at him, one would unconsciously not dare keep looking straight at him. His both arms stretched to his sides, and taking arge breath, Long Haochen disyed a gentle smile. _I am back, Knight Temple._ Resounding steps sounded out. Turning his head, Long Haochen got to see a Mythril Foundation Armored knight appear on his side, performing a knight salute. Hello, sire Long Haochen. Hello. Long Haochen made haste to return the knight salute. Please follow me. The Foundation Mythril Knight turned back and stepped out. Under his lead, Long Haochen returned to the room where he resided when he returned to the Knight Temples headquarters. Please wait a moment. Sire Temple Head instructed me to summon you as youe out. I will also inform your mother. Okay. Thank you. The Mythril Armored Knight left, and Long Haochen sat on the bed, as he gave off a kind of unreal feel. The bed couldnt be considered soft, but the room gave off a feeling of homely warmth. After having sunk in cultivation for so long, hes finally back. As he couldnt help but lie on the bed, stretching his body, he had a kind of really cozy feeling, as if every cell of his was moaning. A short timeter, footsteps were heard from the outside. The door was directly pushed upon, and a sweet figure rushed in. Haochen. Bai Yue had a very pleasantly surprised voice, very rapidly throwing herself at Long Haochen, and giving a hug to her child. His mothers embrace was full of warmth and fragrance. Long Haochen tightly embraced his mother, Mom. His voice was unconsciously trembling, but the feeling of being able to lean in his mothers embrace was really the best. But right this instant, he directed all his thoughts in his duty. For the sake of bringing an even better life to his mother, for her safety, and for every single mother in the Temple Alliance, he had to do his utmost to resist the attack of the demon invaders as a Guardian Knight. How could you be gone for so long for your training! Its been a year and a half! Do you know how much your mother worried about you? Bai Yue was already sobbing. Her husband having been gone for so long without giving any news, she had finally reunited with such difficulty with her son, but he immediately went in closed-doors cultivation, for a year and a half. If not for Yang Haohan and grandpa who were here tofort her, and tell her that he was all right, she would perhaps have gone to look for him long ago. Her son could now be said to be the only thing left in her heart. If something really happened to Long Haochen, Bai Yue didnt know if she would have enough courage left to keep living. A soft light essence was released from Long Haochens body, gradually pacifying the warm feelingsing out from his mothers heart. Letting go of her sons hand, she earnestly looked at him. Haochen, you are thinner, a lot thinner. But still energetic. My son is the sweetest after all! Long Haochen couldnt help but smile, forcing himself not to let tears flow, It has always been so! Mother, I wont keep going in seclusion this time. I will apany you at Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. How about it? Yes, yes but... Bai Yue couldnt refrain her tears from rushing forth, But can you really remain by my side? Long Haochen went silent. He obviously couldnt, he had to go in battle and fight for humanity. Remaining always by Bai Yues side and apanying her all the time was fundamentally impossible. But so that more mothers could reunite with their own sons and daughters, and as the Scion of Light and a Guardian Knight, he had a lot of duties and responsibilities to bear. The door opened, and the white haired like snow Yang Haohan entered. Seeing the pair of mother and child, he didnt open the door. Before, he heard Long Haochen and his mother converse, and really couldnt bear to go disturb their precious moment. Grandpa Yang. Long Haochen stood up, immediately greeting Yang Haohan, who waved his head with a soft touch, not letting him bow down. Good kid. So you finally finished training. You really made us unbearably worried. This session of yourssted for a year and a half. Take some rest, and apany your mother for now. I give you ten days of vacations. Thank you. Long Haochen didnt decline the invitation. Ten days couldnt be considered much, but this could perhaps be the only time he would be able to apany his mother for a long period in the future. Mother, where is the kitchen here? I will make a meal for you. Oh right, didnt you ask about Caierst time? Ill tell you everything about her okay? Caier is really very beautiful. In the future, I will surely marry her so shell be your daughter-inw. Bai Yue finally turned grief into happiness, You little thing. Not even twenty, and youre thinking of getting yourself a wife. But its a good thing; when will you be introducing Caier to me? Long Haochen looked at Yang Haohan with an inquiring look on his face. Yang Haohan was not only the head of the Knight Temple, but also the head of the Alliance. His position in the Alliance was, as such, clearly influential. Aftering out from seclusion, what he wanted to know was the time left before being able to gather with hisrades, and the time before he would be able to step on the battlefield again. Yang Haohan smiled lightly in response, Everything will be told to you in ten days. The Alliance made some preparations for you. You can be at ease, yourrades are all doing very well at the time being. Hearing his response, Long Haochen rxed greatly, and the expression on his face loosened, Ma, Im going to make a meal for you. What about a soup? Bai Yue had a smile on her face, Haochen, Mother actually really wants to drink that potherb soup you made when you were young. The heartwarming days passed very rapidly, and on these ten days, Long Haochen apanied his mother, making meals, massaging and spending all day talking with her. He showed his mother every possible consideration. Given Bai Yues intelligence, she of course knew that after these ten days passed, it would be very hard for him to apany her like this. Although she felt very reluctant, she did her best to rx and enjoy these days together with her son. Go Haochen. No need to worry for Mother. I will be waiting for you in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, waiting for you, son of the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial Long Xingyu. But you have to promise Mother to protect yourself well no matter what. By protecting yourself well, you will only protect others better. Your father has already been missing for so long, Mother cant bear losing you. Seeing the eyes of his mother gone hazy with tears, Long Haochen was torn with grief. These ten days were spent in great luxury; how good would it be if he could keep spending his time this way! But he knew that this was impossible. Unless demons were wiped out, as the Scion of Light, he couldnt possibly keep spending his time steadily by his mothers side. Drawing two steps back, Long Haochen didnt dare keep looking at his mothers eyes. After kowtowing on the ground three times, he rapidly exited the room. He was afraid of being unable to part with his mother for real if he stayed too long. Exiting his mothers room, Long Haochen gasped immensely for breath. Even the assault of the bottleneck of the eighth step didnt felt as painful as now. For no less than ten minutes, he pushed down with difficulty the sadness in his heart. At least, he wont be leaving the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass for the time being, and would be able to frequently visit his mother. He was only able tofort himself this way. Your Mother is still well? Seeing Long Haohan pay his respect to him, Yang Hoahan asked with a smile on his face. Long Haochen nodded silently, but his expression was already full of resolve, Sir Temple Head, please assign our tasks. I also want to know when the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad can be reformed. The smile on Yang Haohans face vanished at the same time as he gave a nod, You should remember what Sheng Yue said at the time you parted with each other. Long Haochen replied, I remember that great-grandfather Sheng Yue said that as long as I sessfully break through the eighth step, and that myrades all reach the seventh step in strength, we can then have the possibility to reform our squad. Yang Haohan nodded, A year and a half have already passed. Regardless of whether the Demon God Emperor used you as a pretext to start this Holy War, it is still ongoing, and the Demon God Emperor has yet to sent powerhouses to search for your tracks. Therefore, in some sense, the preconditions for your team to be reformed are already fulfilled. Really? Long Haochen was overjoyed at these news. All hisrades were putting great efforts for the sake of reforming the team. As their captain, his thirst for that was greater than anyone else. After a year and a half of peaceful training, his mind became peaceful, but the thirst inside him didnt decrease in the slightest. But thats not all, dont rush. Yang Haohan looked at Long Haochen with a severe eye. The great joy on Long Haochens face disappeared, but his excitement remained. Because he knew that since Yang Haohan gave him hope, it means that his 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad had absolutely the hope to get reformed. Yang Haohan replied, In your young generation, no one canpare with your strength. But it is far from enough against powerful demons. You should know about this point. Therefore, you will all have to prove to the Alliance your ability of self-preservation, should you want to reform your Demon Hunt Squad. Chapter 489 - The Four Letters of “Little White Flower”(III)

Chapter 489: The Four Letters of Little White Flower(III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen nodded, If we can reform our Demon Hunt Squad, I hope to take missions to go after the enemy. After all, Haoyue has the ability to destroy demon god pirs, which are the roots of demons. As long as we can keep destroying them one after another, the demons morale will surely take a great blow . And finally one day, after all the seventy-two demon god pirs are destroyed, the demons will no longer be on the face of this world. This way the aim of the Alliance will be achieved. Yang Haohan nodded, The Alliance already knows about all you said. If it was up to me, I would hope for you to all reach the ninth step of cultivation before engaging in battle against the demons. But I also know that you cannot wait so long, and the Alliance cannot afford to either. Long Haochen was rmed, asking in hurry, Grandpa Yang, how is the Holy War going? These days he had been single-mindedly apanying his mother, and didnt ask about the situation of the Holy War. The atmosphere surrounding Yang Haohan became heavy, The situation is not good. During the year and a half, we had all-out war against demons. Their armies keep engaging without stop, and the cards in our hands are at their limits. In a year and a half, over a half of the resources saved by the Alliance were consumed. Although we inflicted a serious blow to the demons too, our damage can only be described as disastrous. If this war keeps going on, even if we can repel the demons, the Alliance is bound to lose a lot of its morale. Moreover, the most powerful Devil Dragon n, Moon n and Star n have yet to participate up to know. Without exaggeration, if they appear in any battlefield, our forts wont possibly hold out. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows. The Holy War already went on for a year and a half, and he could imagine how disastrous this war was. Although he didnt directly participate, he fought enough against the demons. The demon gods in each stronghold reached a count of eight, and their strength alone was very hard to resist. Based on what Yang Haohan said, up to now, the Six Great Strongholds were still undefeated. This was a good piece of news, but as one might imagine, the Temple Alliance had to pay a massive cost for that. Yang Haohan continued, Therefore, the Alliance certainly needs some powerhouses to sneak in demon territory to carry out missions there. Although our losses are enormous, the demons losses arent small either. If they werent surviving by eating the corpses of their own kin, they would have clearly notsted so long. This time, demons are also suffering arge loss of morale, but we dont know how they can keep attacking like before, and not retreat no matter what. If it goes on like this, we will be the first to crumble. If the demon offenses dont keep gaining in intensity, the Alliance can only hold out for year to year and a half at most. Long Haochen dered severely, Let us go then. Killing some demons will never be as good as destroying demon god pirs. As long as we can destroy some of their demon god pirs in the rear, they will undoubtedly be greatly affected. The ability of recovery of the Alliance is far greater than the demons, as long as we are given time to adapt and reconstruct our stronghold, even if the Devil Dragons, Moon Demons and Star Demons join the lot, we wont necessarily have to fear them. What you said makes sense, but can you resist the demon gods with your current strength? The Devil Snake Andromalius demon god pir having been destroyed, the demons caution toward the defense of their demon god pirs is even higher. How can you guarantee that you can destroy demon god pirs while remaining safe? After all, Andromalius was the weakest of the seventy-two demon gods, and you borrowed help from the Forest Boa King at that time. Now that only a year and a half passed, dont tell me you are confident to be able to resist against the other demon gods strength? Long Haochen took arge breath, I am confident. Yang Haohan shook his head, Its not a question of confidence, but a question of strength. As the Captain of the Demon Hunt Squad, you have to prove to the Alliance that your strength is enough for your team to reform andplete missions in demon territory. Long Haochen wrinkled his eyebrows, How does the Alliance expect me to prove that? Yang Haohan replied, Very simple. Since you are a Demon Hunter, you will do ording to the rules of the Demon Hunters. In a bit, I will record the count of contribution points in your tile. You will have to achieve a count of ten million contribution point through ughter on the battlefield, then the Alliance will permit you to reform your team. What? Ten millions contribution points? Long Haochen was greatly shocked. This was just too hard? What do ten million contribution points correspond to? It implies for him to kill ten demon gods in the top thirty-six, or a million Dual ded Demons! Achieving this count through ughter was simply be summed up as hard. How about it, Discouraged? Yang Haohan revealed a little smile. Long Haochen shook his head, No, I am not discouraged. Its just that this will take too long. I am afraid that the Alliance cannot wait so long. Yang Haohan responded, Thats why you have to strive harder. And you cannot reveal your identity, thats to say, your magical beastpanion cannot appear in the battlefield. I will arrange you to return in the Knights Saint Mountain, and pick another mount there. Afterwards, you will have to pass through the trial of the Mythril Foundation Knights, to be qualified to head in the battlefield. Then, achieving the count of ten million contribution points will have to be done through your own efforts. Long Haochen revealed a bitter smile. Ten million contribution points, this count was too massive. In simple terms, it could only be gathered by getting rid of an elite group of the scale of the Demon Emperors legion. Yang Haohan didnt urge Long Haochen to make a decision, only watching over him with a smile. This was a decision that he came with the other higher-ups from the Temple Alliance after discussing. Long Haochen having remained in seclusion for so long, he was certain that this childs cultivation was bound to have increased tremendously. But precisely because of this, Yang Haohan couldnt afford to let Long Haochen risk himself inside the demon territory. To the Knight Temple, Long Haochen was really too important. As long as he was let to grow, it could be predicted that the future him will surely be a new legend for the Temple Alliance, the future leader for the Temple Alliances counterattack. The suggestion of ten million contribution points was something Yang Haohan decided after much deliberation. Thats because he knew that if Long Haochen and hisrades thoughts to return to the battlefield were t out rejected, this would be a massive blow to them. Maybe they would abandon themselves to despair, and this was something the Alliance was unwilling to see. And Yang Haohan understood Long Haochens character. He knew that this youngster was extremely tough. The task of getting ten million contribution points was actually to keep him in the Knight Temple, in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. ording to Yang Haohans calctions, gathering ten million contribution points would take five to ten years. And that time, Long Haochen should have broken through the ninth step, and wont need to be bound any longer. And furthermore, having Long Haochen battle in the Dragon Resisting Mountain would permit him to integrate among knights even better, nurturing his talent asmander, and strengthening his influence in the Knight Temple, to make preparations to have him undertake the future position of head of the Knight Temple. Therefore, this task could be said to be aiming to achieve many moves in one hit, and the best method thought up by Yang Haohan. His justifications were well-founded, so he didnt fear getting rejected by Long Haochen. As for the matter of the Temple Alliance being only able tost for a year to a year and a half under such demon attacks, this was real. But the issue was, would the demons be able to keep attacking for such a long time? Since the past half-year, the demons were notunching offensives every day any longer. They would attack about once every ten days or half month, mostly recuperating and looking for food. In the aspect of recovery, the Temple Alliance couldnt be slower than the demons. So Yang Haohan was aware since long ago that this Holy War wont have a final winner, but also wont bear fruits. At least the demons couldnt crush the Temple Alliance this time. The demons had three powerful forces that had yet to join the battles, but the humans also had their own trump card. Although this trump card was something Yang Haohan was unwilling to use no matter what, unless it reallyes to the final crisis of life or death, and that theres no other choice. For the humans to keep living was the most important. Okay, I ept. Long Haochen finally said the words Yang Haohan was the most hoping to hear. Ten million contribution points was not absolutely impossible to reach. Long Haochen just counted the number of demons from the different races that would be necessary to reach this count. By intensifying his own efforts, he believed that this was possible. Just when Yang Hoahan revealed a smile, Long Haochens next words shocked him. However, Grandpa Yang, I dont need you to arrange the trial for getting one of the Foundation Mythril Armor. I want to directly pass the trial to be a Gold Essence Foundation Knight. I hope to seed one of the Gold Essence Foundation Armor Knight that have the hopes to reach the Epic Tier. What? Yang Haohan really frightened, Haochen, dont tell me that you already... This time, Long Haochen revealed a smile on his face, and looked down energetically, Yes. I have already broken through sessfully. So please permit me. Yang Haohan felt his breath rushing, _He He really seeded? He actually seeded! In a mere year and a half of seclusion he did it! But hes not even past twenty yet, right! A Saint Knight of the eighth step below twenty!_ With great difficulty, Yang Haohan suppressed his excitement, saying straight, Haochen, even if you broke through the eighth step sessfully, you cannot aim too high right now. You should know that there can only be at most thirty-six Gold Essence Mythril Knights. There are indeed a few vacant Gold Essence Foundation Armor Knights, but winning against a Gold Essence Foundation Knight is necessary to obtain the qualification. Their strength is for all close to the ninth step, and although your opponent wont be d in their Gold Foundation Armor, he will face you with his full strength. Are you certain that you want to challenge a Gold Essence Foundation Knight? Long Haochen took a deep breath, before looking at Yang Haohan earnestly, I am certain. Chapter 490 - Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (I)

Chapter 490: Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Seeing Long Haochens determined look, Yang Haohan nodded slowly, Then I will arrange that. But you have to remember one thing. If you cannot pass through this test, you will not be able to take the lower ranked trials in the future. You can only remain in the Temple and train, until you can pass through it, and gain the Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Only then can your task for the ten million contribution points start. Long Haochen had a start, feeling faintly as if having fallen in a trap. But as a matter of fact, could he cower before that? This would just cause his fighting spirit to copse. Yes. Yang Haohan secretlyughed inside, Little punk, I shall let you act as haughty as you can. In a moment, you will be put in order. His goal was very simple: to do his utmost to drag Long Haochens stay in the Knight Temple for as long as possible, for him to reform his team to undertake missions aste as possible. And in this process, Long Haochen could only increase his strength to resolve the issue. This move aimed to kill two birds with one stone, naturally putting him in a good mood. Yang Haohan called another knight over, and had him take Long Haochen in a training field inside the Knight Temples headquarters. This training field was a lot smallerpared to the Alliances underground training grounds established back in Holy City. The circr fields diameter reached only fifty meters. But Long Haochen absolutely didnt look down on the training field, because on its roof, its bottom and all the surroundings were strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. In terms of firmness, the training grounds back in Holy City were no match for this ce. After Long Haochen was brought here, that knight left, and only he was left in these training fields. d in the Glorious Holy Armor, Long Haochen directly sat on a side of the training fields, focusing his attention on adjusting his breath and on controlling the fluctuations of spiritual energy inside his body. Soft thin golden fog was faintly discernible on the surface of his body, appearing dazzling under the reflection of the Glorious Holy Armor. His sparkling and translucent skin seemed to be transporting charges of light. Sitting there, he immediately had the feeling of being assimted into the surrounding environment. Without looking for him with ones eyes, one would hardly perceive his existence. His long eyshes shing above his eyes, his handsome face gave off a feeling of extreme peacefulness. Long Haochens waitsted for close to half an hour, but while sitting here, he didnt make the slightest movement, and didnt have the slightest impatience. The door opened, and a tall knight entered. This knight was d in an ordinary full body armor. d in a helmet, his face was also hidden, and in his left hand was a very thick tower shield. In his right hand was a two meter long battle hammer. This hammer had a reflective surface, letting out a golden luster. Be it his shield or his weapon, both were at the Glorious Tier, making it an item of the highest quality. The instant this tall knight stepped inside the training ground, the space closed between Long Haochens eyelids opened all of a sudden. The instant he opened his eyes, that tall knight stopped his feet. Secretly, he was startled, because the instant he entered the training ground, he unexpectedly didnt sense the slightest trace of Long Haochens presence. But the instant his eyes opened, it gave off the feeling of a sharp de being unsheathed. Standing up, Long Haochen used his right fist to beat his chest, paying his respects to the knight in front of him, Hello. Paying my respects to Sir Gold Essence Foundation Knight. The tall knight had a sonorous voice, but somewhat rough sounding, Hello. Long Haochen took a look at the counterparts weapon and equipment, Senior, my equipment seems better than yours. Should I change it? The tall knight indifferently replied, No need. What you will have to do is use everything you can to defeat me. In the time of this trial, one will not be allowed to use his mount. This aside, there are no other restrictions. I wont start off leniently. Let us start! After he finished speaking, this tall knight abruptly tookrge strides without the slightest pause, charging towards Long Haochen. His steps wererge, and when each of them was heard, strong rumbles spread in the whole training field. Intense golden mes abruptly ascended in his body, letting out a torrential oppressive force. Long Haochens expression changed greatly. He originally had great expectations for the strength of a Gold Essence Foundation Knight, but the massive threat this tall knight caused him to feel went far beyond his expectations. The enemy didnt use any technique and didnt even use his spiritual wings, but his imposing manner reached a supreme level, and his attacks seemed to carry a crushing oppressive force. He could surely go even faster, but painstakingly maintained a certain rhythm, aiming to optimize his imposing manner to its peak starting from the beginning. Long Haochen obviously wouldnt let the enemy reach his goals so easily. His powerful senses told him that if the enemy was left to make such preparations, he would definitely be unable to block his attack. The extremity of his foot tapped onto the ground, as simr golden mes suddenly ascended around him. But the differencepared to that tall knight was that the golden mes abruptly released by Long Haochen were shot toward his back. It appeared as though a golden lightning bolt had appeared abruptly in the training fields, covering the shortest path, with the most direct and straight trajectory, aiming forward. Lightspeed sh. Secret Retribution Knight technique of the seventh step, raising ones speed instantly, and strengthening ones imposing manner to the peak all at once. This technique was not easy to control, to the extent that some Retribution Knights of the eighth step wouldnt necessarily have a full grasp on it. But Long Haochen almost had no preparations nor time to store energy, and directly used this ability to its fullest. This golden lightning bolt transformed into a golden light ray, and the instant Long Haochen charged, he was already parallel to the ground, bing one with his sword. But bizarrely, in his state of being one with the sword, except for the intense mes released on his back, there unexpectedly appeared to be no sword intent released from his body in the slightest. The instant the tall knight that was advancing in big strides was about to sh with Long Haochen he abruptly came to a stop, as if having a premonition of danger. His massive tower shield directly blocked his front. Ding>/em> A crisp, melodious sound rang out in an instant. Although Lightspeed sh couldnt possibly really reach the speed of light, it was the greatest speed Long Haochen ever reached, enough to match instant teleportation. shing at such speed, and in a straight line, an iparably sharp sword intent burst out at the same time this crisp sound was produced. It seemed to tear open the powerful, imposing manner unleashed by that tall knight the instant before. Long Haochens attack looked devoid of preparations, but in truth, the instant his attack burst out, the spiritual energy surrounding his whole body was already congealed. And more frighteningly, all his sword intent seemed to be held inside the Aria of the Goddess of Light, its formidable power exceeding even the most powerful of the attack he could use before the time of his secluded training. But the strength disyed by that tall knight startled Long Haochen entirely. The instant the Aria of the Goddess of Light entered in contact with his Glorious Tier tower shield, on its surface a golden speck of light appeared. That golden speck was even more resplendent than the sharp end of Long Haochens sword. With an ear-piercing ringing, Long Haochen felt that he was trying to pierce a mountain and not a shield. Even more terrifying, all the colliding force seemed to have been suppressed, and Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light seemed stuck onto the tower shield. This was Spiritual Hignd, a powerful ability specific to powerhouses of the eighth step. A demons strong points mostly manifest on their body, but in utilization of spiritual energy, demons of the same rank would surely not be inferior to humans. Spiritual Hignd is an ability specific to the three close-quarters vocations of the Temple Alliance, and one of the most basic abilities of human powerhouses of the eighth step. After ones spiritual energy breaks through 30,000 units, he requires four spiritual cavities, to break through the eighth step and continue his cultivation. Apparently, not every human at the eighth step has his fourth spiritual cavity at the same location, making everyones cultivations have different characteristics. For instance, Long Haochens fourth spiritual cavity was established in his right shoulder. After the spiritual energy breaks through 30,000 units, the liquid spiritual energy in a humans body reaches a terrifying density. Although some spiritual cavities will restrain this phenomenon, after spiritual energy condenses to a certain extent, an effect of solidification will be produced. Spiritual Hignd enables ones solidified spiritual energy to burst out instantly, producing a powerful strength. Even for a powerhouse of the eighth step a massive consumption of spiritual energy would ur from using this powerful ability, and wouldnt be able to project the effect. In other words, Spiritual Hignd is only useable in an area in contact of ones skin. Long Haochen already broke through the eighth step officially, but he was, after all, a neer to the eighth step. He had someprehension regarding Spiritual Hignd, but was still not very familiar with its use. It would require him to continuously strengthen his spiritual energy to disy the real might of Spiritual Hignd. And by the time he breaks through the ninth step, he will be able to use an external Spiritual Hignd. Originally, at the time Long Haochen and his father were in Odin Town, when Long Xingyu relied on his domineering strength to instantly kill arge amount of demon powerhouses, he actually used the external Spiritual Hignd. Of course, through the great amplification of his Divine Throne he reinforced the power of his Spiritual Hignd, otherwise it wouldnt have reached such a level. This was the first time Long Haochen was faced with Spiritual Hignd. Thats because although he had faced powerhouses of the eighth step before, they were all demons of the eighth step. And it was the first time for him to face a human powerhouse of the eighth step. Only after learning by experience can one understand the truly terrible might of Spiritual Hignd. And furthermore, to Long Haochens shock, the control of this tall knight over Spiritual Hignd already reached the level of perfection. He was using Lightspeed sh with the strike of his sword and body bing one, matched with the ultra-divine sword Aria of the Goddess of Light, producing an incredible might. If he faced another knight of the eighth step, simply using Spiritual Hignd wouldnt have stopped him. However, it was after this tall knight managed to predict his attack that he prepared Spiritual Hignd to block the attack from the Aria of the Goddess of Light. It went so far that the sharp end of Long Haochens sword didnt even manage to shake that tower shield. This stagnation onlysted for a split second. The next instant, Spiritual Hignd spread out from that tower shield just like a tsunami. Chapter 491 - Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (II)

Chapter 491: Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # What he used was Shield Block Rebound, a very simple and in technique, but after being added to Spiritual Hignd, its might wasnt that easy to resist. Long Haochen only felt as if this mountain that he tried to pierce suddenly crumbled, shing with golden light, as a terrible oppressive force immediately attacked and repelled him. Nheless, it wasnt as if Long Haochens sword strike had no use at all. At least he tore apart the imposing manner of its counterpart,pletely annihting it when that tall knight was in the midst of raising it to the peak. This could be said to be how he took advantage of his own failure. The golden light went on full swing from his back, and at the same time Long Haochens body was sent flying, his four wings already unfurled on his back, and the two on the left side abruptly pped, causing his body to make a horizontal turn in the air. The instant his body made a flip, the huge hammer swept past his former position. It didnt smash onto the ground, yet produced a thundering st, the edge of which reached Long Haochen, headed for his side. So strong! Long Haochen was extremely shocked. He was full of confidence regarding his own ability, but only now did he understand how strong a Gold Essence Foundation Knight was. However, he obviously wouldnt let this discourage him. Leaning backwards immediately, his body forcibly came to a stop in midair, as he did a backflip. This changed his orientation in the air forcibly. The immense hammer went up, once again hitting the air. That instant, the tall knight was unexpectedly unable to grasp Long Haochens trajectories from his movements, making him unable to lock onto Long Haochen. But this knight indeed had an imposing strength. While the hammer missed its target, warped ripples spread out from it. This was an area-targeted attack that Long Haochen wouldnt be able to evade. Thats Elemental Obliterating Ring! This was a technique that Long Haochen had seen before. In the range of Elemental Obliterating Ring, all the elements would disappear totally. Even a ce very abundant with intense light essence would be affected. And this ring had Long Haochen right in its middle, while not affecting the tall knight. The sudden disappearance of the surrounding light essence caused Long Haochen to stop still for a moment, and right that instant, the immense hammer swept at him. The back of this hammer was devoid of a chain, but instead waspletely controlled through the users spiritual energy. And the intensity of that spiritual energy reached at least the peak of the eighth step. Having always encountered powerful enemies, the more Long Haochen was pressured, the more histent capabilities came out. In such a disadvantageous situation, he didnt panic in the slightest; holding the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his two hands, he let the four wings on his back spread out. A torrential sword intent rushed forth. Asura Strike! The instant Long Haochens sword intent burst forth, a bizarre white glow spread out from his body, giving birth to a majestic scene. The elemental fluctuations repelled in the distorted area formed by Elemental Obliterating Ring were pulled back by the white light, annihting the effects of thetter ability. And the next instant, Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light shed against that hammer. An ear-piercing sound resounded through the whole training ground, and the massive bacsh forced Long Haochen back. pping the four wings on his back, he rapidly increased the distance separating him to the opponent. He understood very clearly that even if that tall knight was able to control his hammer, its range was limited. The further they are, the weaker his control will be. As expected, the hammer returned to the knights hands and didnt keep chasing after Long Haochen, its wielder eximed in admiration, Not bad, instantly using an Elemental Summon of the seventh step to annihte my Elemental Obliterating Ring. Its no wonder that you dared challenge a Gold Essence Foundation Knight. So you indeed had some trump cards up your sleeve. Long Haochen didnt respond, single-mindedly watching this tall knight. One could see that the golden mes surrounding his body turned entirely white due to the previous use of Elemental Summon. Leaping up fiercely, it collected a terrifyingly pure light essence in the area with him as center. And on his back, the Aria of the Goddess of Light was indiscernibly floating. Although the tall knights spiritual energy surpassed Long Haochens by far, at this time his absorption speed of the light essence was below Long Haochen. This was an advantage of being the light gods Chosen One, who would be forever matchless in affinity with light, unless a starlight divine beast reappears. Long Haochen didnt let the white mes surrounding him keep spreading upwards, and let a light glow onto his left hand. That radiance was both gold and blue colored. At the same time it appeared, a golden figure came out. It was no one else but Yating. Yating was Long Haochens fused spiritual stove, and naturally could be ssified as a part of his strength. And the second figure that appeared in his hand was naturally his heavy sword Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light gave off an extremely illusory feeling, and faint dragon cries could be heard. It was as if Long Haochen wasnt gripping a sword, but two immense dragons souls. HIs two swords wielded on either side, Long Haochen entered a mystical state. His gaze looked peaceful, and it appeared that in his eyes nothing around him existed. All his focus was gathered onto that tall knight. The tall knight stopped talking. His imposing manner became heavy, and he visibly sensed the sudden increase of Long Haochens strength. A faint threat was growing in him, as he was umting sword intent, leaving the knight with no choice but to deal with him cautiously. Yating chanted an incantation melodiously, holding the staff in her hand high, and a bizarre golden light appeared on Long Haochen. This wasnt Brilliant World, but a kind of link, aplete link with Long Haochen himself. The spiritual wings on Long Haochens back vanished, and his entire upper body leaned forward, the white mes surrounding him turning into an ascending fog. Storing Power. The tall knight advanced again inrge strides, but this time, his pace was visibly a lot more rushed. Every step he took covered a small distance, but at every step, his imposing manner increased gradually. A pure gold fog of light simultaneously arose above him, and with each step he took, this fog seemed to gain in intensity. Could this be Storing Power while moving? It was the first time Long Haochen saw this kind of Storing Power. Although he didnt know how this knight aplished that, he was certain that the amplification from the knights method of Storing Power was even greater than his own motionless Storing Power. Originally, he wanted to incite the enemy to take the initiative, but now he was left with no choice but to seize the initiative to attack. Lightspeed sh reappeared, propelling Long Haochen in the air in a split second. This time he didnt charge straight at the counterpart, but his body flew upwards with an inclined posture. In a sh of golden light, he carried a lightning-like brilliance. Reaching the top of the training field, he immediately turned into a sh of light once again, achieving a perfect turn downwards. A thick sword intent mixed itself with a dragon cry, and fell from the sky. Long Haochen currently gave that tall knight the impression of being caught in a shower of rain and thunder. The shower of rain wasing from Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, and the thunder was naturally exuding from the Aria of the Goddess of Light. A wless invasion, instant destruction using his sword intent. Long Haochens two swords were lit with an abnormal, gaudy light. It was also Spiritual Hignd. Although Long Haochen couldnt possibly be in perfect control of Spiritual Hignd like this tall knight, utilizing Spiritual Hignd with his two swords was still perfectly within his grasp. Ding! Tshhhhhhhh A series of odd sounds could be heard resounding in the training field. The tall knight once again lifted up his tower shield, entirely d in pure golden energy. This pure golden energy wasnt a mere attachment of spiritual energy, but a kind of liquid flowing onto the surface of his shield. And Long Haochens attack passed through this liquidyer uponyer. The terrible sword intent passed through, as the area in between the two of them wascerated. One could see that countless ck cracks were appearing in the sky, producing a very powerful exploding force. Causing sts of spiritual energy, it was violent enough to cause the whole training ground to shake profusely. But no matter how strong Long Haochens attack power was, nor how sharp his sword intent was, it was not enough to shake this tower shield. He didnt even know what technique that tall knight was making use of, because the techniques of his opponent werepletely assimted inside his shield, and werent disyed to the eye. Bang! All the attacks seemed to meet together in the end, producing an iparable explosion. Long Haochens body was shot back once again, and this time, the pressure was much higher than the previous time. The Glorious Holy Armor let out a series of moans, showing indications of being close to copse from the force of that massive shock of spiritual energy. The sh between two powerhouses of the eighth step was just that terrifying. Therefore, the Alliance had a saying, that only weapons of the Legendary Tier or above were suitable to powerhouses of the eighth step, otherwise the rate of broken weapons would be too high. But was it so simple for the tall knight to defend himself? On the surface of the tower shield, one could see that this time, he didnt manage topletely neutralise Long Haochens offense. On that thick shield, at least ten traces were left. Although none of them were deep, it was a proof that his Spiritual Hignd was already unable to defend this shield totally. Not only that, but at the time Long Haochen went on the offense, the tall knight was unable to use the hammer in his other hand fully. Only by doing his utmost to use it in defense did he block Long Haochens attacks. Chapter 492 - Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (III)

Chapter 492: Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochens shock was really reaching an intense level. He had just utilized the force of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, each of his strikes being perfectly fused with his light essence. By asking himself, he reached the conclusion that his sword intent should be not far from the level of the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang from before. Only his cultivation wascking inparison. But as a gods chosen one, his use of the light essence was not anything Ye Wushang couldpare to. But he still didnt manage to break through the defense of this tall knight. And Long Haochen had the feeling that until now, this tall knight had yet to disy his full strength. Having made an all out effort on his past two attacks, Long Haochen was slightly gasping for breath. But he wasnt discouraged because of that. Taking deep breaths, he lifted up his swords on the two sides, the glint in his eyes bing a lot gentler. A brilliance simr to sunlight shone from his back, flourishing with great intensity. Its splendor was so intense that anyone present in the training field could not dare to look straight at it. This sun-like light bubbled up from Long Haochens body, as his imposing manner kept rising. It seemed to take only the time of a few breaths for the white mes surrounding Long Haochens body to thicken, they then attached to his body, and finally turned the whole Glorious Holy Armor white. This is the God Descent Technique? The tall knight lost his voice, which this time seemed to carry a new hint of aged sound. He clearly saw an illusory figure floating behind his back condense, as if a real girl was standing beside him, the same instant that the hexa-winged fairy disappeared a moment before. In Long Haochens hands, the two heavy swords started to change color. Amidst slight buzzing sounds, the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand was covered by a thinyer of golden light, sorrowfully shattering into small pieces, and bursting forth with a resplendent golden light. And in the midst of this resplendence, an eye-grabbing orange color shone. And on the other side, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light glowed in a different light. As the original blue and gold all vanished, it burst forth with a greenish-blue color full of the breath of life. It was indeed a greenish-blue color, glistening like a newly born bud. In an instant, it engulfed the whole heavy sword in an aura full of life. It formed a contrast with the proud and holy golden-orange light that started to appear beside it. As for Long Haochen himself, he shut both his eyes, as his golden hair unexpectedly became white, giving off a feeling of sanctity. Even that powerful, tall knight had only heard about the God Descent Technique and no more. In itself, the God Descent Technique was a forbidden spell of an iparably strong kind, enabling one to borrow the force of a real god to amplify oneself. The tall knight didnt even understand whether it was released by Long Haochens light fairy or the person himself. But without a doubt, he was currently using an extremely mighty force. A series of ear-piercing, sonorous vibrations sounded out, as one could see that the Glorious Holy Armor on Long Haochen started to be covered inrge number of cracks. This piece of Glorious Equipment was already unable to bear the powerful spiritual energy released by Long Haochen, and actually started to fall apart. At this moment, the strength disyed by Long Haochen was already approaching the edge of the ninth step. And more terrifyingly, the tall knight recognized, was that under the effect of the God Descent Technique, the two heavy swords in his opponents hands started to show the most fundamental kind of might. The Aria of the Goddess of Light was emitting the glossy shine characteristic of the epic grade! It had an orange luster, exclusive to the Epic Tier. And Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights green luster was also at the epic grade, but thebined attributes seemed to produce a variation of the original Epic Tier. One could say that these two weapons were priceless treasures. Even a knight of the eighth step wouldnt necessarily be able to use one of them with its full splendor. But at this instant, Long Haochen seemed already to be in full control of them. A substantial, terrifying, sword intent covered the whole training ground, and this sword intent that seemed close to tearing the area to shreds seemed not to be emitted from the swords, but from Long Haochens body. Without a doubt, left with no other choice, the current Long Haochen had entered his most powerful battle state. After going through that series of probing attacks, Long Haochen had the absolute certainty that this knights strength surpassed his own by far, and that if the battle dragged on, even with Yatings backup, the consumption speed of his own spiritual energy was bound to exceed his enemys by far. Moreover, this opponent of his had yet to show his full strength. Therefore, Long Haochen only had one way left to win this battle, and that was to stake everything on one throw, using his greatest strength to struggle for victory. He couldnt lose. Losing would mean that his reunion with hisrades would be dyed even further, pushed back so far that it would seem like forever. No matter what, he had to try making an all-out effort. It could be said that at the time the two heavy swords shone with the glint belonging to Epic Tier weapons, the extra strength he gained over the past year and a half came to full view at once. The Epic Tier of the Aria of the Goddess of Light was known by Long Haochen. On this divine sword was a seal that would, once undone, unleash its real might. Yet even with Long Haochens current strength, letting it recover its entire splendor was still impossible. But Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, gave Long Haochen an unexpected joy. He didnt think that, after continuous nurture, once it received the boost from the God Descent Technique, this dual attribute sword would actually evolve to such a level and unexpectedly emit the glow exclusive to the Epic Tier. An aura full of prestige, and an aura full of the breath of life. Having two different Epic Tier weapons was, to a Retribution Knight, a supreme heavy artillery. As for Gods Descent, it was actually not Long Haochen nor Yatings technique, but a fused technique that could perhaps be said to be born from the fusion between spiritual stoves. After continuous evolution and fusion, Yatings strength kept growing, and her physique kept undergoing many changes, as she was influenced by Long Haochens physique as a gods chosen one. A year of deep meditation helped to harmonize these changes to the greatest extent, thus leading to the acquisition of their ability to use God Descent Technique. Of course, with their current level of strength, God Descent Technique would onlyst for one attack, but without doubt, this attack would reach the level of the ninth step! The tall knight swung his right arm, throwing his tower shield to the side. A strong orange luster shone on his right hand. What reced his tower shield was unexpectedly a shield merely one third of a meter long. Very clearly, he couldnt continue to avoid using his assets in front of Long Haochens current state. The shield that appeared impressively in his hands was at the Epic Tier. Bending, and gathering Haochens attention, the tall knight did a simple movement, but it was suddenly followed by a transformation of the color of the pure golden mes on his body. A mystical blue color burst forth from his body, and the golden-blue color seemed to blend with that orange-colored shield to let curtains of light appear in front of him. The scope of the curtains of light wasnt veryrge, only the tall knight was epassed by their protection. After bringing out his shield, the tall knight almost seemed to be a sculptures, as all of his aura became one with the shield. Long Haochen made his move. The power bestowed to him by the God Descent Technique was admittedly great, but the burden was also massive. The milky white figure didnt use another Lightspeed sh, because he couldnt bear it if he used another ability to reinforce himself more. A pair of magnificent swords were intertwined in the air, filled with the simplest yet greatest might. The greenish-blue and the red-gold colors formed a cross in the air, directly mixing with each other in the shape of a light cover. In that instant, Long Haochen was unable to keep suppressing his sword intent, which caused the whole hall to shudder violently in an intense light. One could see that the ceiling, the walls and the floor were all starting to form cracks, and the defensive barriers were crumbling one after another. And this was merely from being affected by some aura! _Booo._ A kind of bizarre sound reverberated upon contact with the light screen, as the spiritual energy spread in the sh between attack and defense congealed and came to a standstill right at that instant. Long Haochens pupils shrank to the width of a needle. Within a split second of the sh between the two parties offense and defense, he determined that this knight was clearly not at the eighth step in strength, but at the ninth step. He could tell because this curtain of light was not justing from the Epic Tier equipment but was primarilying from an external Spiritual Highway. _So this Gold Essence Foundation Knight was actually at the ninth step!_ Long Haochen finally understood that he had been overly confident. Thats right! Gold Essence Foundation Knight is not a title limited to a knight of the eighth step. Why couldnt a Gold Essence Foundation Knight be a knight of the ninth step? After all, its not as if every knight of the ninth step gained the approval of a Divine Throne. Lost, Long Haochen realized his own defeat. With the increase of his cultivation, he had sensed the gap between the eighth and the ninth step. If the enemy was a demon powerhouse of the ninth step, perhaps he had the chance toe to a stalemate against that opponent, but the one in front of him was a Guardian Knight of the ninth step with a shield at the Epic Tier. This level of defense was not something he could break through. And it was still true even while using two pieces of equipment at the Epic Tier. _ng, ng_ In the midst of heavy cracking sounds, two sts blew against the walls surrounding the whole training field, causingrge parts of the walls to crumble. To the great shock of both Long Haochen and the tall knight, that gold-blue color and the orange color started to crumble along with the curtain of light carrying Spiritual Hignd, asrge cracks began appearing on it as well. On the other side, the Cross Strike of red-gold and green colors was unexpectedly achieving a fusion. The whole Cross Strike was starting to rotate, the two radiances undergoing a strange fusion as it intersected in the center. This was beyond Long Haochens control, as if these two types of energies were acting by themselves. What came out from that fusion was a ck color, an extremely deep ck color, which carried a thin blue light, like the appearance of dawn. Long Haochens spiritual energy was already close to exhaustion, but even so, he unconsciously lifted up his two arms, his two swords having disappeared a moment ago due to the exhaustion of his spiritual energy. On his left arm, an orange glow abruptly appeared, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon appearing on his back for the sake of helping his defense. Chapter 493 - Divine Throne of Order and Law (I)

Chapter 493: Divine Throne of Order and Law (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Right at this time, a bizarre golden light suddenly lit upon that tall knight. Affected by the sense of his lofty presence, Long Haochen was totally unable to resist the burst of powering out from the other knight. This burst of power directly caused all the surrounding spiritual energy to vanish, including the Cross-Shaped Strike he was in the midst of preparing. Immediately, Long Haochen sensed a rich blue light rocketing. Bang! In the midst of an immense explosion, the whole Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass trembled, and everyone present gazed in their direction. This terrible explosion was preceded by the rise of a dark blue light, which soared to the skies. Extremely destructive fluctuations of spiritual energy filled the sight of all spectators. Immediately, an immense gold-blue radiance broke into the sky, crushing that dark blue light into pieces. That gold-blue radiance remained floating in midair, immediately filling the air with dense light essence. At the sight of this gold-blue radiance, the warriors from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass all cheered in excitement. This was because that gold-blue radiance wasing out from a gigantic throne. That throne was over thirty meters high, gold colored, and embedded with countless magnificent sapphires. Among these sapphires, some were deep, some shallow, some transparent, others deep in color. But all, without exception, seemed to let out auras of order and discipline. The shape of a blue quarter moon could be seen atop this throne, and circles of blue radiances spread outwards from it. The radiant fluctuations of spiritual energy spreading out from it seemed to give all spectators an urge to bow down in front of it. Yes, that was the Divine Throne of Order and Law, one of the six Divine Throne in the hands of the Knight Temple. The training stadium and the surrounding area atop the Knight Temple were both reduced to ruins, but no trace of smoke or vapor seemed to rise in the air. The area had merely been sliced to pieces. The tall knight was standing on the same area as before, the mask on his face already shattered. Putting on a resolute expression, his forehead was filled with small wounds. Without paying careful attention, one wouldnt notice, but these wounds were slowly healing. This tall knight was no one else but the Divine Knight of Order and Law, Divine Knight of Control and Restraint Long Tianying. At that time, his eyes were fixed on the orange glint in the midst of the ruins as the corners of his mouth were twitching. With a sh of bright light, Yang Haohan appeared beside Long Tianying, with a somewhat strange smile on his face, How was it, Old Long!? Long Tianying unhappily replied, Its not as if you didnt see it all. Whats your say on the matter? Yang Haohan replied, This young boy actually has three pieces of Epic Tier equipment in his possession, what is there for me to say? Still, its fortunate that he didnt end up victorious against you. Quickly go away, otherwise I wont be able to fool him any longer. Long Tianying shook his head, I am the Divine Knight of Order and Law, dont tell me you want someone of my rank to practice fraud? We could decide his path in his stead, but this would not necessarily be something good for him. Strictly speaking, he is already qualified to wield an Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor. If not for the fact that I borrowed the force from the Divine Throne to use it in the air, Im afraid that at least half of our Knight Temple would have ended up destroyed. But even so, his sword intent broke through my defense and managed to wound me. If a Pure Gold Foundation Knight was here in my stead, the final result would have likely been both sides ending up wounded. Yang Haohan looked down, Are you saying that we should consider it to be that he passed? Long Tianying nodded, Rather than us granting it, it is by the means of his own strength that he passed. At that point, the dignified Divine Knight had a smiling face. Old Yang, tell me, isnt our Long family, by having three Divine Knights, setting a new historical record? Yang Haohan rolled his eyes, Are you provoking me on purpose? Besides, this kid isnt a Divine Knight yet. Long Tianying replied with augh, Isnt it just a matter of time... Pop In the distance, the orange glow of light dimmed down, and at the same time Long Haochen appeared, covered in dirt. The aftermath of the destructive sh gave rise to the ruins, but the great defense of the Divine Sun Shield of Sun and Moon was enough to defend him almost entirely. Although due to the debilitating state that followed the use of the Gods Descent Technique, he was now in extreme pain and unable to exert the slightest bit of strength. A soft golden pir of light appeared out of nowhere,nding on Long Haochens body. In the midst of it, six golden angels slowly descended, gathering around his body. Immediately, Long Haochen was cleansed by a warm flow of spiritual energy. Be it the tiredness of his body or the hollowness of his spiritual energy, both issues disappeared at a frightening speed. Angels Embrace, Guardian Knight skill of the ninth step, had a great healing and recovery ability. Even if one only has bones left, as long as a breath remains, this skill can preserve his life. That was to say nothing about Long Haochen who was merely in a state of exhaustion. The golden blue radiance disseminated in the sky, then blended inside Long Tianyings body. If Long Haochen was unable to call out the identity of this old man standing beside Yang Haohan at this moment, he wouldnt be fit to be a knight. He knelt to the ground, Long Haochen greets senior Divine Knight. Long Tianying unhappily responded, Kneel on your two knees and then knock your head on the ground a few times. Eh? Long Haochen had a start. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan were already right in front of him. Long Tianying feigned anger, What? Are you unwilling? Little brat, I am your grandfather. Without this old man, would you have been born? Grandfather? Long Haochen looked astonished. He originally had some questions regarding the reason why the target for his Gold Foundation Armor trial would be a Divine Knight, one of the three almighty existences of the Knight Temple. But now, this old Divine Knight was telling him that hes his grandfather. This made Long Haochen indeed confused for one moment. Long Tianying had a dim look on his face, and didnt keep pressing Long Haochen to keep kowtowing. Supporting him with both his hands, heughed at himself as he continued, Yes! And I am the most irresponsible grandfather of this world. Appearing to be at a loss, Long Haochen looked to the nearby Yang Haohan. Yang Haohan nodded to him, Indeed, he is your grandfather Long Tianying, the other Divine Knight of our Knight Temple. Your family has some rules saying that the descendents have to rely on their own ability. It was the same for your father as it is for you. And it looks as though your Long family is really about to have three Divine Knights. Grandfather. Long Haochen was in a strange mood, as his gaze at Long Tianying gained increasingly in warmth. For some reason, he felt his nose itch. So he actually had another rtive, not just his father, but even a grandfather as well. Grandfather! Long Haochen drew back before kneeling again on the ground, thrice knocking his head on the ground out of respect. Long Tianying had aplex look, as he once again lent his arm to support Long Haochen, If only the demons didnt exist. Without them, this old man would have just gotten rid of these freaking family rules. So what what if we were to spoil the descendants from our Long family a bit. But this cannot be done now. Talentes with responsibility and duty. Kid, take your respects back. Your grandfather can hardly ept them. I have never given you anything, and this unqualified grandfather cannot even do anything to help your future path. Long Haochen lowered his head, and remained silent. As it is said, blood is thicker than water, which was the reason why he kowtowed in front of Long Tianying. But could he really say that he had noints at all? Before his father found them, what kind of life had his mother and him used to have? What was their pain? Even now, all the abilities he acquired were obtained through his own strength. Grandfather, this word was simply unfamiliar to him. There was no hatred, but in the same way, there couldnt be said to be familial love for him. Yang Haohan put his hand on Long Tianyings shoulder, shaking his head at him, Okay, lets set this matter aside. Haochen, your grandfather acted as your test opponent for the sake of testing your strength. After some discussion, we came to agree that you passed the test. Long Haochen had a start, and suddenly lifted up his head, But I lost! Yang Haohan let out a slightugh, Is it a shameful thing to lose in front of a Divine Knight? Your performance was already earth-shattering. From now onwards, you will be a Pure Gold Foundation Knight. After looking for a new mount in the Knights Saint Mountain, you can start your mission of collecting ten million contribution points. Yes! Long Haochen appeared surprised, straightening his posture in reaction. Yang Haohan resolutely continued, However, I have to set basic rules for you to follow. You have already fought many times against the demons, so there must be quite a few demon powerhouses that are familiar with your battle style, and the knowledge regarding some of your abilities must be spreading amongst their ranks. Therefore, you have to do your utmost to conceal your identity. First of all, you cannot rashly use your dual sword wielding, and the same goes for your spiritual stove. These two features are just too conspicuous. Also, you have to remain fully armored in the battlefield at anytime, keeping your face hidden. Also, avoid using your personal abilities that are known by the enemies, understood? Long Haochen nodded earnestly. Yang Haohan dered, You have to know that if your identity leaks out, it will very likely cause the Demon God Emperor, the Moon Demon God and the Star Demon God to react. At that time, a cmity is bound to befall upon our Knight Temple. If you want the day you can reunite with yourrades toe, you have to proceed with utter care. Yes, sir. Long Haochen replied formally. Yang Haohan replied, Alright, go get some rest. From now on, you will be the 12th Pure Gold Foundation Knight. In the Knight Temple, only twelve of our Pure Gold Foundation Armors are at the Epic Tier. Come to find me tomorrow in the morning to get your battle armor, and then Ill arrange your departure to the Knights Saint Maintain. Go on. Chapter 494 - Divine Throne of Order and Law (II)

Chapter 494: Divine Throne of Order and Law (II)

Trantor: GravityTales As Long Haochen surveyed the ruined surroundings, Yang Haohan let out a helpless sigh, I will be arranging people to put everything back in order. Grandpa Yang, goodbye, Grandfather, good bye. Long Haochen performed a knights salute before turning around and leaving. Seeing his unsteady steps, Long Tianying slowly closed his eyes, his breathing visibly perturbed. Old fellow, you have to give him some time. Its already hard enough for him to ept this calmly. Yang Haohan spoke regretfully. Long Tianying let out a sigh, You dont understand. Hes the same as his father. The more he remains silent about a matter, the more it means hes concerned. This grandson is quite a difficult one. After Long Haochen returned to his room, he immediately entered into a meditative state. After learning about the existence of a grandfather of his in this world, he was affected a lot more emotionally than he appeared to be. This long time of meditation came to make him realize the importance of keeping his heart pure. Therefore, he had to go through cultivation, to return to a state of tranquility and stability through the baptism of the light essence. Very rapidly, he became soaked in an ocean of light, while processing his experience from the previous battle and his shorings. This was the first time he faced a powerhouse of the ninth step in straight battle. Although Long Tianying didnt use his full force from beginning to end, this battle affected Long Haochen greatly. Gradually, five round lights began to light up on Long Haochens upper body, his eyebrows, chest, underbelly and both shoulders. By the process of continuously studying knight abilities, he finally broke through the barrier of the eighth step. From the seventh step to the eighth step, one would need to keep circting and utilizing spiritual energy to eventually break through, and every spiritual cavity gained implied that he would be able to wield ten thousand more spiritual energy. Gaining even more spiritual cavities is however not so simple a task. Each opening requires chance,prehension, understanding of ones own body and a high luck factor. Therefore, the way from the eighth step to the ninth could be described as a continuous process of breakthroughs. Thats why the number of powerhouses of the eighth step is far more than the number of powerhouses of the ninth step. And to make the final breakthrough to produce the ninth spiritual cavity is unimaginably hard. This aspect is also what makes the breakthrough from the eighth to the ninth step the most difficult. Therefore, most of the powerhouses at the peak of the eighth step, including knights, would stop at the peak of the eighth step, and not cross the threshold of 100,000. Only when one manages to obtain this tenth spiritual cavity after breaking through the 90,000, would he be determined to achieve the breakthrough to the ninth step. By means of his highprehension, Long Haochen finally seeded in making his breakthrough; and as he produced two spiritual cavities at once yet again, his cultivating speed was significantly raised like before. As he faintly came to gain some profoundprehension along with his breakthrough, his understanding bing even deeper. His pure inner-self enabled his body to be entirely focused on the surrounding light essence. He found out at this time that as the number of his spiritual cavities kept increasing, they seemed to rise higher inside his body. Chest, eyebrows and abdomen. These three core cavities are positions any human powerhouse has to use as the foundations for cultivation. As for the other spiritual cavities, although they serve as points of linkage between the blood vessels, its only after breaking through the eighth step from the seventh step that their effect greatly impacts theter cultivation. More than any other, the most important step could be said to be the construction of this foundation, followed by its development. Only afterwards can more spiritual cavities get nurtured, without running into a dead end. Long Haochen was on the highway toprehending these pivotal concepts. The backbone and eyebrows are connected to the head, and the abdomen and stomach are connected to the trunk. The following ones would be those associated to the limbs. The main parts of the body can indeed be summarized as the head, the trunk and the four limbs. Therefore, Long Haochen chose without hesitation to establish his newest spiritual cavities on his shoulders, eventually seeding. As if proving the uracy of his judgement, right after he established the spiritual cavities on his shoulders, the appearance of these two spiritual cavities caused a change in the quality of his spiritual energy, as well as the quantity that could be released at once. The benefits as a gods chosen one were starting to be more and more distinct. For instance, an ability such as Lightspeed sh was supposed to require a time of umtion and preparation for normal knights of the eighth step. But he was able to make that inherent dy a mere abstraction by the means of his affinity to light. Thats the gap between them! And such a gap is the reason why he dared challenge a Pure Gold Foundation Knight. Right now, Long Haochens focus wasnt on hisprehension, but on the final transformation that urred during the trial that just set him against his grandfather Long Tianying. While entering the epic realm, Blue Rain Hibiscus of Light and the Aria of the Goddess of Light seemed to start beginning a fusion. And from Blue Rain, Long Haochen felt an extremely destructive aura. , The Aria of the Goddess of Light was filled with pure light, while after reaching the Epic Tier, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light gained a life attribute. Could the fusion of light and life produce destructive effects? No, it would definitely not. Although back then the force released by the burst of the dark blue light was iparably terrifying, and incredibly destructive, Long Haochen vaguely sensed that it should be another energy besides a purely destructive one. But the fusion process was far fromplete, and had ended much too soon;therefore, it didnt leave much detail in his memories. Long Haochen was actually unable to ascertain whether, if he was given another opportunity of such degree, he would be able to wield such a strength a second time. At the same time, he faintly perceived that if he could get hold of this ability, maybe it could give birth to an existence of an even higher level. The most profound memory in Long Haochens mind was thatst instant when Blue Rain Hibiscus of Light trembled as the Aria of the Goddess of Light let out light cries. In other words, in the end Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light seemed to be somewhat inferiorpared to the Aria of the Goddess of Light in power, and would need more evolutions to fuse them together properly. However, he faintly sensed that in material and properties, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was already close to the limit of its development. Completing this process would not be easy. Slowly opening his eyes, Long Haochen was surprised to discover that the sky outside was already ck. Given how the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was built in a mountain, rooms with a view of the external world were scarce. Long Haochen did indeed seem to be subject to preferential treatment. Yating. Long Haochen called out lightly. With a glint of golden light, Yating appeared in front of Long Haochen. Seeing her delicate arm and thigh, Long Haochen felt helpless. Yatings clothing was totally self-generated. But fortunately, he got used to the sight of her, and moreover, Caier was already fully upying his heart. Master. Yating replied in a gentle voice. Long Haochen replied, You should have felt that in the previous battle, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light seemed unable to bear the power of the Epic Tier. Although through our Gods Descent Technique it barely reached the Epic Tier, it seemed tock something. Even the Aria of the Goddess of Light seemed to becking something as well. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light could be said to have been nurtured in your body all the time, so your sense should be greater than mine with regard to it. Can you think of a way to make it continue its evolution? Yating revealed a sweet smile, Theres a way. Oh? Long Haochen gave her a startled look. He originally only wanted to try getting some information from Yating, so he didnt expect her to directly show him a confident smile. Master, you are forgetting that meteorite obtained from the Warrior Temple. What Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lightcked to continue evolving was material. Its quality is insufficient to reach the next level of fusion with our light element. This is why it turned out unable to keep evolving further, and its about the same for the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Its just that Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light doesnt have a natural sword intent to make its material reach a higher grade. For now, I can act as a soul for these two swords, but not both at the same time. Only one can be chosen. As masters and my own cultivation progress, these two swords are close to being unable to bear the power of my Sword Soul. The reason why I didnt undergoplete fusion today was that I wanted to avoid destroying them. That meteorite is made of extraordinary materials, and if it is smelted to enhance these two swords, it will be able to strengthen them greatly. In addition, as long as you keep using them, they will definitely evolve sometimeter. Not even transformation into divine artifacts is unthinkable. Right! The meteorite! Hearing Yating mention it, Long Haochens eyes lit up again. He had indeedpletely forgotten about it, and had left it inside the Eternal Melody. Then how can I smelt that meteorite? Should I look for a cksmiths help? Long Haochen asked. Yating shook her head, With the current quality of these two swords, Im afraid that human strength wont be able to alter them. But actually, smelting it is very easy. All that is needed is time. These swords are both blessed with spirituality: you just have to stick them onto the meteorite, and they will proceed with the smelting on their own. Its a very simple process. Hearing her words, Long Haochen naturally became overjoyed. It was originally included in his agreement with Yang Haohan that he wouldnt use these two divine swords. Since things were this way, this period of time was the best asion to smelt them with the meteorite. With these thoughts, he took the meteorite out from Eternal Melody. This meteoric rock was of considerable size, and was about a third of the gigantic meteorite Long Haochen cut down back in the Warrior Temple. Chapter 495 - Divine Throne of Order and Law (III)

Chapter 495: Divine Throne of Order and Law (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen said, Both Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light and the Aria of the Goddess of Light seem somewhat unwilling to go through the Eternal Melody, but I cannot really leave them here either. Yating replied with a smile on her face, After they start absorbing the meteorite, are you sure they are going to keep this mindset of not wanting to go through the Eternal Melody? And who said they needed to ept the Eternal Melody? Does it have nurturing abilities for them? Long Haochen had a start. _Right! The meteorite has some metallicponents, that may block off the two divine swords apprehension towards the Eternal Melody._ At worst, if it came down to them still being unwilling to enter, he could just ask for the help of Grandpa Yang to store them temporarily in the treasury of the Knight Temple. Anyway, no one other than him would be able to use them. After going through this meditation, his cultivation waspletely recovered. With a sh of light, Yating held up Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Rain, and ced it in front of Long Haochen. This sword that had gone through many evolutions to be stronger and stronger umted light essence which kept pouring inside. Golden and blue lights rose up simultaneously from it, achieving the Holy Sword state almost instantly With light, crisp, sounds, Ripples of Light activated, and Long Haochen gradually approached the Transparent Sword state, concentrating sword intent. In the meanwhile, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light started to let out a pure white color. _Pem_ The divine sword thrusted in a sh. Although hard, this meteorite was after all merely an object. In front of Long Haochens spiritual energy which attained the eighth step, as well as Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Lights sharpness, it split instantly. As if following a set pattern, the Aria of the Goddess of Light thrust from the other side of the meteorite. From the two swords in his hands, Long Haochen felt some silent changes urring. These two swords seemed to emit heat, though Long Haochen was unable to sense the other phenomena happening at this time. Be at ease, master. My senses couldnt have fooled me. As Yating said that, she spread out her arms, forming a hugging posture. The six pairs of wings on her back lit up, letting out soft white light, which enveloped the meteorite. One could faintly see the shape of a huge stove appearing on Yatings back. With a sh, the meteorite disappeared in the midst of the white light she emitted. Yatings face looked pale, Master, I will be unable to assist you for a period of time. I will devote myself to using the nurturing abilities the Saint Spiritual Stove brought me to stimte the absorption of the meteorite by the two swords. After saying that, she turned into a golden light that disappeared inside Long Haochens body. The next morning. Long Haochen woke up early in the morning to sit in front of Yang Haohans office, on the highest seat of all the Knight Temples headquarters. Today he was d in white attire, his golden hair draping over his shoulder. His clothing could hardly be more in, but just by standing here, Long Haochen seemed to let out a kind of presence that was exclusive to him, attracting much attention. No matter who it was, anyone who saw his limpid eyes devoid of impurity, or sensed the pure fluctuation of light surrounding his body, would unconsciously pay attention to him. The reason why Long Haochen came so early in the morning was not because he was itching to obtain his Gold Essence Foundation Armor, but rather because he couldnt wait to start amassing the ten million contribution points. That was an amount of ten million points! Who knew how many demons would have to be an offering in his hands before reaching this count? And whats more, this would take a lot of time. To join his partners, join Caier, as soon as possible, he had toplete this mission in the fastest possible manner. Yang Haohan didnt let Long Haochen wait for too long. Compared to before, the demon offensive had weakened quite significantly, but as the chief of the Knight Temple, the responsibilities he had were just too many. In this Holy War, Yang Haohan and Long Tianying divided their work very explicitly. Yang Haohan was in charge for the management and mobilization of the troops while Long Tianying was only responsible for leading the powerhouses fighting in the front. If Long Xingyu was present, he would be more suited for this task considering his status as a Retribution Knight, but unfortunately, the only Retribution Knight among these three Divine Knights disappeared, and needed someone else to take over his duty. Long Tianying took up this responsibility, since, after all, Yang Haohan was the head of the Temple Alliance as well, and had many other matters to handle. , So early in the morning? Yang Haohan noticed Long Haochen, waiting in front of his doorn and couldnt help but reveal a smile, Follow me. Pushing the door open, he entered his office. After bowing to give Yang Haohan his respects, Long Haochen followed him inside. Yang Hoahan pointed at a nearby sofa, hinting that Long Haochen should sit down. Long Haochen shook his head, Grandpa Yang, I can remain standing. Please check my contribution points, I want to start the next mission. Yang Haohan let out augh, You are in such a hurry. Haochen, are you ming your grandfather deep inside? Long Haochen was startled by this question, and remained silent. Actually, deep inside, he didnt know whether he actually med him. Only, he seemed unable to have any family affection toward this grandfather. After all, he was not the same as when he first met Long Xingyu. At the time he met his father, he was still young, still below ten years old. In fact, it could be said that Long Xingyu appeared at the most important time of his youth, and gave his all to instruct and apany him for no less than two years. This gave birth to the affection and acknowledgement he had for his father. But Long Tianying waspletely different. When Long Haochen met his grandfather, he had already risked his life against the demons for many years. Who knew how many trials and how many life or death situations he had already encountered. And for all this time, where was his grandfather? During his youth, he hadnt met him even once. Just as Long Tianying said, that was in no way a qualified grandfather. Although Long Haochen didnt express me towards him, making him have dear feelings of family love wouldnt be so easy. Yang Haohan sighed at this sight, This is all the wars fault! Young man, dont me your grandfather. Actually, he did it all in spite of himself. You may not know about it, but the rtionship between your father and your grandfather is no good either, and thats because of the rules of your Long family. The ancestors from your Long family pledged that until the day of the demons extinction, the younger generation wont be given any help. Neither your grandfather or your father was able to change that fact. Put yourself in his shoes; as one of the three Divine Knights of the Knight Temple, can you imagine the responsibilities your grandfather has to shoulder? Your father only became a Divine Knight ten or so years ago, but before that, it was only the two of us. Given how much of my time I have to devote to the Alliance, your grandfather can be said to have been given the entire control of our Knight Temples headquarters. Here, your grandfather has even more prestige than I do. As a Divine Knight, there are just too many duties. He simply couldnt take care of his own family. Before, after your grandmother died in this Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, he returned to the city after just one day of mourning beside her coffin. From that time on, I have never seen a smile on the face of your grandfather. As a man, not showing ones emotions doesnt mean one is devoid of sentiments. Your grandfather also has it rough. I know that epting him so suddenly is very hard to you, but I hope you can understand him. Your grandfather devoted his whole life to our Knight Temple: he is a true hero, and as a hero, what he sacrificed went beyond an ordinary persons imagination. You should be proud of having such a grandfather, rather than ming him, you understand? , Long Haochen silently listened to Yang Haohans words, and silently nodded in response, Grandpa Yang, I understand everything you said, and so, I dont me my grandfather at all. Its just that his appearance was too sudden. My father had never even told me about the existence of this grandfather. I need time, can you give me some time? Yang Haohan replied with a smile on his face, Thats only natural. Its alright as long as you dont feel meful towards him deep inside: this is a matter between the two of you. When you join the battlefield, your grandfather will be your immediate superior and you will rapidlye to understand what kind of exceptional hero he is. With him in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, even the Demon God of Death Saminaga wont dare rashlyunch an offense. Long Haochen asked, Grandpa Yang, please record the count of my contribution points. Saying that, he extended his arms, revealing the contribution tile on it. Yang Haohan nodded and took out the small device, but when he saw the amount, he couldnt help but let out a gasp. The count of Long Haochens contribution points had reached seven digits. It was over one million! /L9YGTeVbmU6LbvMQMZhcy77gq60PgW7Gr5IH5XcHJ3suxMx-u3cmo9RUrnA5H2n54wfHDrvwPXrxa0Enj2ggKO107ddThCNqaaxlSLJMgA7dyhDTZL6drrhkZ1SSV0dsjd7NO) (just an inside joke) How do you have so many contribution points? Yang Haohan was shocked. Long Haochen let out a smile, Dont forget that I killed Andromalius! And the demons killed by Haoyue and Yating are all counted too. I have a suggestion. As the first Demon Hunter to have destroyed a demon god pir, I request a formal reward from the Alliance. A few million contribution points should be nothing much in your eyes. The best would be to count them towards the ten million I need. Yang Hoahan vexedly replied, Little brat, are you trying to extort me? Long Haochen replied, Grandfather Yang, this is no extortion. Seeing the miserable look on his face, Yang Haohan shook his head helplessly, The Alliance has discussed this long ago. Your feat of having destroyed one demon god pir was a great service for the Alliance, but there is no contribution points for that. Eh? But why!? Long Haochen replied in shock. Yang Haohan smiled to him, If you really want contribution points, its alright, I can give you two or three million of them. Of course, they wont count towards your mission of gathering ten million points. However, in this case, you can forget about the reward the Alliance had originally nned to bestow on you. Chapter 496 - Golden Foundation Armor (I)

Chapter 496: Golden Foundation Armor (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen was surprised, What is the reward the Alliance nned for us? After some discussion, in view of the great contribution made by your Demon Hunt Squad, the Alliance decided to cancel all of the rank advancement fees for your team. Are you satisfied with this reward? Long Haochen was greatly overjoyed, Very satisfied! Cancelling all the contribution points for advancement fees from this day onwards was no small amount! In fact, for a Demon Hunt Squad to advance to King grade, one million contribution points would be required. And from the King grade to the Emperor grade, that was ten million contribution points. As for the advancement to the Titled grade, in addition to sufficient strength, enormous contributions to the Alliance at least the killing of several demon gods were also required. Only after meeting all the requirements could one advance to the Titled grade. In other words, even without ounting for thest rank, they would still normally need to use eleven million contribution points for advancing in rank. This amount of contribution points was enough to purchase a few Epic Tier equipments, making this reward the Alliance bestowed them quite considerable. Yang Haohan recorded the count of Long Haochens current contribution points, All good. Save the excitement forter. Until youplete your mission of gathering ten million points, your team wont be reformed. These contribution points will in no way be meaningless from your point of view either. However, I have to warn you once again: no matter how hurried you are to get done with it, you must pay extreme attention to your own safety. I have to emphasize once again the importance the Alliance attaches to your safety! Yes! Long Haochen gave a respectful reply. Yang Haohan raised his right hand, and a golden light shot out in the office. Immediately, very dense fluctuations of spiritual energy spread out, and a small cube appeared in front of Long Haochen. This cube only reached one sixth of a meter in height, one half-meter wide and one third of a meter in length. This volume was unremarkable, but more importantly, it spread out an orange luster, the orange color that is exclusive to the Epic Tier. This cube didnt have any decoration or engravement on, but let out a feeling of mystery from its straight lines. Is this? Long Haochen asked Yang Haohan in astonishment. Yang Haohan smiled at him, How about it? Doesnt look like a Mythril Foundation Armor at all, right? Its just what you wanted, an Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor. It has a smaller volume than the Mythril Foundation Armor, and is less thick. But its amplification effects are beyondparison with the former. This Gold Essence Foundation Armor has been acquired with the sweat and tears of our predecessors, and when using it, you will naturally feel how great its assistance will be. I hope that you will use it well, and with courage against the enemy, until the day that you be a Divine Knight. Yes. Long Haochen waived his right fist, performing another knight salute in front of Yang Haohan. Go try it out. Young people should be curious. I will also be more at ease if I see you put it on before leaving for the Knights Saint Mountain. Of course, youll have to cover it with a cloak outside, to avoid leaking out your whereabouts. It was a Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Seeing the cube in front of his eyes, Long Haochens heartbeat unconsciously increased. Although in the past he had already acquired a few Epic Tier equipments, the one in front of his eyes was not the same. In quality, both the Aria of the Goddess of Light and the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon surpassed this set of armor, but neither of those were a property of the Knight Temple! Of the three, only this one symbolized the honor of countless knights and the supremacy of the Knight Temple. Almost every Divine Knight has had a Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen asked Yang Haohan, Grandpa Yang, how should I use it? Yang Haohan had a firm expression, Go up and use your spiritual energy to perceive it. Long Haochen nodded and took another deep breath, performing a standard knight salute in front of this Gold Essence Foundation Armor before taking a step towards it. This knight salute was directed at the knights that used to use this Gold Essence Foundation Armor in the past. Every newly-appointed wielder would share the mission of letting the splendor of these Gold Essence Foundation Armors shine on thend. As Long Haochens feet stood firmly on it, he found out with surprise that the Gold Essence Foundation Armor under his feet didnt give off a feeling of hardness like gold as he expected, but a kind of soft feeling. Right, that was a feeling of softness. And whats more, this Gold Essence Foundation Armor seemed to have a vitality of its own, letting Long Haochen sense its heartbeat. Soft fluctuations of light essence spread out from Long Haochens body, entering in the Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Immediately, the lower part of the armor gave him afortable feeling, to the extent that Long Haochen could hear an extremely happy groan from it. Immediately afterwards, the heartbeat he felt earlier became even clearer, and it quickly started to match his own heartbeat. A dark golden glow swept across, and in a mere instant, Long Haochen became d with this set of Epic Tier equipment. The sound it produced waspletely different from the time the Mythril Essence Foundation Armor was worn. Just now, when the Gold Essence Foundation Armor was put on, he felt like a river engulfed him. Long Haochen saw a dark golden liquid was spreading over him. Focusing his attention, he found out that he was alreadypletely enveloped in this dark golden liquid. Inside Yang Haohans room was a mirror. Unconsciously, Long Haochen turned towards its direction, only to realize that this was an iparable armor. In terms of imposingness, the Gold Essence Foundation Armor was not even as great as the Mythril Foundation Armor. But it had a very special tactile feel. Long Haochen simply felt as if his whole body was soaked in warm light essence, strengthening by almost twofold his already great senses. To his great shock, his internal spiritual energy, that was over thirty thousand, increasedand by quite a lot! This Gold Essence Foundation Armor was like an immense spiritual cavity outside his body, that kept absorbing the external light essence at a frantic speed. But rather than storing it in Long Haochens body, it was stored in the Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Using his perception, Long Haochen realized that he was able to transfer this spiritual energy at anytime for battle or cultivation. , Without even mentioning its offense or defense, this aspect alone had unlimited benefits in times of battle; it was a total war machine, to the extent that Long Haochen was unable to determine the limits of his Gold Essence Foundation Armors capacity. In other words, this Epic Tier battle-armor was able to store more spiritual energy than Long Haochens total limits. This sleek golden armor covered Long Haochens whole body within. The helmet was diamond shaped, masking his face naturally. The armor covered Long Haochens upper body, including his shoulders. The chest part protruded a little, but besides that, the other parts didnt look much different from ordinary battle armors. However, its lines seemed to draw out his figure perfectly. This was a feeling Long Haochen couldnt describe. He only believed that this dark golden armor exuding an orange luster was perfect, and couldnt find the slightest w on it. When wearing it, aside from its effects of amplifications, Long Haochen didnt have the slightest feeling of weight, as if he wore a light cloth. It felt extremelyfortable to wear. Yang Haohans voice sounded out in Long Haochens ears, On its own, a Gold Essence Foundation Armor can store 100,000 internal spiritual energy. This internal spiritual energy will be able to greatly elerate your cultivation speed, and can also be used directly in times of battle. It could be said that any Saint Knight d in an Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor is pretty close to the ninth step in strength. As for its other amplifications, you will learn about them from experience. The same Gold Essence Foundation Armor, when worn by a different Saint Knight, will let out an entirely different level of strength. You are a gods chosen one, the Scion of Light, and I hope this set of Epic Tier Gold Foundation Armor will the able to disy its brightest splendor on your body. Thank you, grandpa Yang. Looking at his dark green hands, Long Haochen felt genuinely grateful and knelt to the ground, bowing to Yang Haohan. Yang Haohan took a few steps forward, lending an arm to support him, Go now. You know the path to the Knights Saint Mountain. The demons are only sealing off the front of our Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, which is an area with terrible climate conditions. They wont dare try to surround us entirely. Its only that some demon scouts are monitoring it from the outside of the mountain pass, but I believe that you will be able to handle that without an issue. The earlier you go, the earlier you will return. This is my writ, take it along and you will be given the right to make an exception and pick a second mount. Furthermore, I believe that with your current cultivation and physique as gods chosen one, you should be able to find the best mount that could serve as your partner. Yang Haohan handed Long Haochen a scroll; taking it in his hand he saluted Yang Haohan onest time before leaving. This chief of the Knight Temple and the Temple Alliance, had treated Long Haochen very well as far as he could remember, so he didnt say anything more, as using his actions would be the best way to return his generosity. Yang Haohan saw him off, following the departing silhouette with his eyes. Then with augh, he asked, Satisfied, old fellow? From a shadow, Long Tianying appeared and walked slowly, an excited Han Yu appearing beside him, This kid is really distressing! Thank you, old Yang. What are you thanking me for? Your Long family sacrificed enough for the Alliance. I just hope this youngster gives you a proper farewell when the timees. Han Yu, how about it? You should have gained quite a lot after following your grandpa Long for all this time right? Chapter 497 - Golden Foundation Armor (II)

Chapter 497: Golden Foundation Armor (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Han Yu nodded, resisting with great difficulty the urge to follow Long Haochen. Many thanks to you two grandpas for your help. He finished his secluded training long before Long Haochen, and had already be a Saint Knight of the seventh step. Long Tianying was apanying him all this time, sending him toplete some missions to familiarize himself with the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Grandpa Yang, I want to know when I can take the examination to be a Mythril Foundation Knight. Han Yu was looking on helplessly at Long Haochen, d in epic tiered Golden Foundation Armor. Although he was quite far below Long Haochen, as a knight, he also had an iparable thirst for honor. Yang Haohan smiled in response, and asked Long Tianying, What do you think about that? Is this child strong enough for now? Long Tianying shook his head, Hes still a bitcking. His proficiency in battle is okay, but his spiritual energy is still a bit low. But he should have enough contribution points on him to purchase one. Yang Haohan looked at Han Yu, Did you hear, your grandpa Long agreed to let you take a shortcut, what are you waiting for, hurry up and thank him. You guys really made a fortune in the demonsnds! You have even gotten enough to purchase a Mythril Foundation Armor. In fact, because of its symbolic aspect and great power, a Mythril Foundation Armor has a cost of 400,000 contribution points in the Demon Hunters Transaction Center. Han Yu shook his head with a determined look, No, grandfathers, I dont want to buy it. I want to obtain a Mythril Foundation Armor with my own strength. My contribution points were earned by the whole team, and are not mine alone. Captain would surely have chosen the same. I believe that I deserve a Mythril Foundation Armor that is not obtained using contribution points. Hearing that, Long Tianyings gloomy look became clearly a lot warmer, as he patted Han Yus shoulders, A real, ambitious, man you are! Then let it be so. When your strength is sufficient, the Temple will make all the preparations for you. Understood. Long Haochen naturally didnt know about this episode that happened after he left. With the use of hismander graded Demon Hunt Squad insignia, his journey went very smoothly. After exiting the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, he confirmed which path to follow and went straight for the Knights Saint Mountain. As a matter of fact, it had been over a year and a half since Long Haochen had seen the outside world. The constantly frozen Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass had an extremely cold climate, but when breathing this frozen air, Long Haochen had a feeling that he was returning to reality. A low temperature like that had no effect on him, to say nothing about the Golden Foundation Armor on him that defended against the external low temperature even better than winter clothing. It was not to show off that Long Haochen kept this new armor on, but to be familiar with it. After returning from the Knights Saint Mountain, he will be thrown intobat immediately. And for the sake of concealing his identity, constantly keeping this armor on was a must. The sooner he bes familiar with it, the sooner he will be able to draw out its power. The Golden Foundation Armor was totally charged, and from Long Haochens estimate, this piece of armor of the epic tier would only need about half an hour to be filled up once depleted. And even while Long Haochen uses spiritual energy it will still replenish itself continuously. Therefore, what this armor of epic tier gives is not a mere boost of 100,000 spiritual energy, but also a constant recovery of this storage, therefore it was not empty words to say that Long Haochen could wield the strength of a knight of the ninth step. Among the epic tier equipment acquired by Long Haochen, the two heavy swords were unquestionably here for the sake of offense. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was purely for the sake of defense. The Golden Foundation Armor served to bridge the gap between his other equipment, serving in a primarily defensive and supportive role that increased hisprehensive abilities. Without a doubt, when considering Long Haochens overall strength, he belonged to the top of the Knight Temples powerhouses. He would put up a fight even against a demon of the ninth step. This was not only due to his personal efforts, but also a result of the Temple Alliances support, continuously increasing his strength. One could say that Long Haochens growth had attained an unshakable level. As long as things kept going on like that, he would be a Divine Knight before long. The day was not rainy, but the wind was blowing pretty hard. The biting cold struck all living beings in its scope like a knife. Long Haochen, d with arge cloak around his armor, moved very rapidly without flying. A slightly twisted brilliance was glinting around him. It looked very faint, but its existencepletely concealed Long Haochens presence. Unless the other partys mental force surpassed Long Haochens, any mental probing ability thatnded on him would not react at all . Just like that, Long Haochen didnt meet with a single small demon scouting team, and went straight towards the Knights Saint Mountain. The distance from Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to the Knights Saint Mountain was not very far, a hundred kilometers at most. The demon armies could obviously choose to attack it as well, but for that, they would have to prate deep into human territory. More importantly, the Knights Saint Mountain is not an easy prey! After the Knight Temple umted the riches of thousands of years, who knew how many light elemental magical beast popted the Knights Saint Mountain. They were mostly powerhouses of the fourth or fifth step, but there were more than a few magical beasts of the tenth rank. The inherent conflict between these magical beasts of light element and the demons of darkness element was absolutely irreconcble. If they were to decide to attack the mountain, they would meet with the collective resistance of all magical beasts popting the Knights Saint Mountain. And thats without even mentioning the retired powerhouses from the Knight Temple. The Knight Temple was unable to transferrge batches of magical beasts to join the battlefield, but if the demons dare attack the Knights Saint Mountain, Yang Haohan and Long Tianying will absolutely not have no hesitation to attack the demons nks. Therefore the mainmander on that side of the battlefield, Demon God of Death Saminaga, carefully decided to only attack the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and avoid the Knights Saint Mountain. If one were to consider things in the long run, getting rid of the Knights Saint Mountain would certainly be a heavy blow to the Knights. However, getting rid of the magical beasts popting it would bring the demons no benefit, but instead a great amount of risk, which was undesirable. Since by attacking the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass he could force the main body of knights to fall back, or even wipe them out, Saminaga didnt care about directed some of their forces at the Knights Saint Mountain. At least for now, he temporarily had no interest in attacking it. The shorter the distance to the Knights Saint Mountain, the more the surrounding light essence grew in intensity. A light golden vapor[a] could be seen rising and spreading out, and over it one could start to see the faint form of a majestic mountain. Thest time they came here, it was from the other direction, so Long Haochen didnt sense it clearly, but this time, he was greatly surprised to find out that after entering the scope of the Knights Sacred Mountain, the cold wind didnt seem to be blowing in the area anymore. Long Haochen faintly came to understand that this mountain range blocked the extreme cold streams, and thereby served as a real barrier against the demon army. No wonder the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was attacked from only one side, and the demons didnt try to surround it. Even the environment of the Knights Sacred Mountain would be fatal to the demons. Long Haochen still remembered clearly that thest time he entered the Knights Sacred Mountain, the light essence here was at least five times more concentrated than outside. To knights, this was undoubtedly an exceptionally good training ground. But since long ago, this ce only nurtures light elemental magical beasts: the Knight Temple strictly prohibited knights to train here. And Long Haochen had a guess on the reason for that. Inside the Knights Sacred Mountain, there was either some magic formation to absorb light essence or some natural treasure here that maintained the light essence enveloping the mountain range. This ce could certainly help boost a knights cultivation, but this light essence was probably limited. If arge quantity of knights were allowed to cultivate here, the concentration of energy would very likely be affected. It wasnt a matter of being stingy, but a long term calction. The existence of the Knights Sacred Mountain not only permitted greatly talented knights to get a constant inflow of light elemental mounts, but at the same time acted as an impassable barrier for the demons. A light essence concentration five times stronger than normal was, to demons, even more highly toxic than poison. If the demons dared make a detour around the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to pass through the Knights Sacred Mountain, they will have to face consequences that one may well imagine. Long Haochen still remembered the huge summoning formation from that time, and faintly sensed that the he only had grasped a small portion of the Knights Sacred Mountains secrets. There must be some other secrets existing in this mountain range that amodates a lot of golden fog. Of course, these secrets were certainly advantageous to the Alliance. Back then, teacher said that in the peak of the Knights Sacred Mountain resides an immense magical array, which suppresses the magical beasts evil tendancies and is the reason why no one is allowed to cultivate in here, in order to avoid damaging the bnce of the light essence, and cause an outburst of the magical beasts. But it looks that this is only what the Alliance announced, that the truth isnt such. . After entering within the golden fog, Long Haochen secretly let out a sigh. He was already different from in the past by far, and as a Golden Foundation Knight and a Saint Knight, his perception over light essence was already far different from in the past. The light essence in this ce was not only rich, pure, but also moving at a special rythm. How could this be entirely orchestrated by a magical formation? As such, the reason why the Knight Temple didnt permit anyone to cultivate here should be as he guessed, in order to maintain the concentration of light element for the sake of countering the demons. But Long Haochen felt that he was still overlooking something. However, he didnt perform an in-depth investigation, as this was after all, a matter of consideration for the Alliance and the headquarters of the Knight Temple, and not something that had to do with him. Chapter 498 - Golden Foundation Knight (III)

Chapter 498: Golden Foundation Knight (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Not long after stepping forward, Long Haochen suddenly stopped in his tracks, took off his outer cloak, and revealed the Golden Foundation Armor. An aged voice came out, Greetings, honored Golden Foundation Knight. May I ask what you came for? In the fog of light, a tall silhouette could be seen moving forward. This elder wascking his left arm and an eye: it was one of the elders guarding the Knights Saint Mountain. Greetings elder. I am here to pick a mount. The Alliance head gave me his authorization. Long Haochen was extremely respectful toward this elder; he offered his respects as he stepped forward, and then stopped in front of him. It was due to sensing the presence of this elder that he had previously revealed his Golden Foundation Armor. The elder was quite astonished by hearing the young timbre of Long Haochens voice. That was a Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier, but the voiceing from it seemed really inadequate. The decree this young-sounding knight took out to show him could not possibly be faked. It hadplex coded text inside exclusive to the Knight Temple. Very rapidly, the old knight gave the decree back. The old knight looking respectfully at Long Haochen showed some uneasiness, making Long Haochen continue with haste; Elder, my name is Long Haochen. Please call me that. There is no need to be so formal. Long Haochen? Hearing these words, the elder was startled, and then shifted his posture to look at him, So, you are actually Long Haochen. Just then he realized how famous his name had be in the Temple Alliance. But since things that are already said cannot be taken back, he simply nodded in response. The elder dered after a short pause, in a dignified voice, Dont disclose your name again in the future. Even if this is our sacred mountain, you are far too brash. Yes. Long Haochen also realized his own mistake. If his identity was leaked, things would really get troublesome. Who knew if demon spies were nearby. Come with me. Your Golden Foundation Armor is the twelfth so I will call you Twelfth Golden Knight. Yes. Long Haochen agreed and followed the elder onto the mountain. This shouldnt be your first timeing here, so I will let you pick your road on your own. Do you need a probing tile to detect the grade of magical beasts? the elder asked. Long Haochen shook his head. There was no way he would be unable to determine the grade of a magical beast at his level of cultivation. Then, be careful. The elder stopped walking and pointed out a certain direction for Long Haochen to take. Thank you, elder. Coming here for the second time gave him a totally different impression from the first time. He sensed upon his arrival that the surroundings seemed to be highly restricted. And these restrictions were all very well concealed, to the extent that only a part of them could be detected even at his level of mental force. In other words, taking a wrong path would very likely result in triggering these restrictions. The degree of power held by these restrictions was quite hard to determine. Walking forward ording to the direction pointed out by the elder, a new scene very rapidly appeared in Long Haochens view. Under the spray of the bright, beautiful, and warm sunlight appeared the images of ragged trees apanied by sweet smelling vegetation, giving the area a very refreshing feel. Breathing deeply, Long Haochen felt entirely free from worries. The rich light essence here made him feel like a fish in the sea. And his Golden Foundation Armor was filled up since long ago, but its dark golden surface carried a soft trace of golden gloss and a dazzling orange-colored luster. Whether in regards to cultivation orbat, any powerhouse attuned to light would benefit from a huge boost in this ce. This time, he didnt need to climb over the top of a mountain to distinguish directions. Relying on his great perception, Long Haochen easily found his way to the deep, central parts of the Knights Sacred Mountain. With a golden sh of light, four wings came out as if piercing through the Golden Foundation Armor. Spreading out from his back, these wings were also protected by the dark- gold colored Golden Foundation Armor. As his figure shed, Long Haochen pierced his way through the sky, and shockingly found out that under the boost from his armor, his spiritual wings increased his speed by at least 30%. It only seemed to take a few ps of his wings to reach the first mountain peak. Then he spread his wings out and started to glide his way deep inside. Every time Long Haochen elerated, it sounded like the air around him was ripping. Faintly, his body started to produce a golden barrier around him. This was not an ability he used on his own initiative, but a condensation of the light essence that he absorbed nonstop. Long Haochen had a very clear goal for this trip to the Knights Sacred Mountain. He had long since picked the kind of magical beast that would be hispanion. Although he really wanted to keep fighting alongside Haoyue, thetters existence was excessively sensitive! Only at the crucial times of destroying demon god pirs could he be allowed toe out. During this past year and a half of cultivation, Long Haochen could sense through their blood vessels connection that Haoyues strength was also progressing well. But Haoyue seemed to be suppressing something, and going through a process of storing strength, so Long Haochen didnt know very well what level his cultivation had reached right now. The Knights Sacred Mountain was very broad, and even at Long Haochens speed, he took half an hour to get close to the center of the mountain. After that, he stopped traveling deeper into the mountain, because he knew that that was the territory of the tenth-ranked magical beasts, which were not his current targets. Stretching his four wings, his body remained floating in midair. Long Haochen shut his eyes and focused on the surroundings, cing the forefinger and middle finger of his right hand on the space between his eyebrows. One could faintly see some transparent ripples form in the area surrounding his head. These were pure waves of mental force. It was only because Long Haochens mental capacity far outstripped that of ordinary peoples that he could use such probing methods. After all, it wasnt as if he was a powerhouse of the psychic attribute. While probing the area, Long Haochen resumed his flight, and headed to the side, moving around while keeping the same distance from the center of the Knights Sacred Mountain. This time his flight speed had be much slower. It took him approximately one more half hour to finally find his target, letting out an expression of pleasant surprise. Golden mes started spraying out from his back as his four wings were pped at full strength, causing him to shoot forwards at full speed like a bullet. After Long Haochen made his way through tall trees and finallynded on the ground, a water source came into his view. Currently, dozens of light elemental magical beasts were drinking this water, showing some vignce towards Long Haochen. A gentle and pure light essence was released around Long Haochen. He didnt continue to walk forward but stopped here on his tracks. His armor also disappeared and revealed his original appearance. Long Haochen recovered his Golden Foundation Armor and stood immobile, looking warmly at the magical beasts in front. Gradually, they came to sense the fluctuations of light surrounding his body, and their expressions of vignce disappeared gradually. Then, they started to let out looks of amazement and cordiality. The first oneing out was a mouse-sized magical beast that leaped up and climbed on his shoulder. Long Haochen smiled at that sight and softly fondled this little mouse. The other magical beasts finally rxed after seeing the carefree look of that little mouse, and slowly approached Long Haochen. But one could see that as they approached Long Haochen, they appeared to show greater and greater appreciation for him. This was only natural. Long Haochen was the Scion of Light, a gods chosen one! The purity of the light essence he released far exceeded that of the Knights Sacred Mountain, and furthermore, due to his heritage as a gods chosen one, Long Haochen held a strong attraction for the light elemental magical beasts. How could they show any kind of animosity towards him? This ce was already deep in the Knights Sacred Mountain. These magical beasts were of different sizes and kinds, but the lowest in cultivation was at the sixth rank, which corresponds to the human fifth step. And the higher they are ranked, the more intelligent they be. Do you know about my old friend? Im looking for... Long Haochen asked these magical beasts in a low voice, and immediately, apletely gold colored bird nodded and approached him, rubbing its mouth on Long Haochens body before spreading out its wings and heading on a certain direction. The reason why Long Haochen chose this ce was because it was a water source. Any magical beast would need to drink, so the odds of meeting someone that has met the magical beast he was searching for was a lot higher. But he did not expect that his exceptionally pure light elemental aura would draw out so many magical beasts. That bird already gave him its assistance, so he only sat here waiting, not in a meditative state but not masking his aura either. These magical beasts naturally had no reason to leave, and simply gathered to Long Haochens side, filled with excitement and enjoyment. Even normally hostile magical beasts were very calm right then. No one was willing to disturb the calm atmosphere. A short timeter, from afar first a resonant sound, then a golden silhouette came flying forth at great speed. Long Haochens eyes were lit with pleasure. He really came! Chapter 499 - Star King (I)

Chapter 499: Star King (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen saw a group of unicorns, each snow-white aside from a golden mane and spiral shaped golden horn protruding from its head. Every unicorn had a pair of huge wings, pure white with their tips shining golden. In the midst of their walk, one could faintly see golden halos following under them. Among the ranks of these Starlight Unicorns, an especially tall one was flying in the front, reaching six to seven meters height, with a horn over half a meter long. Its pair of wings were brimming with brilliance, only, the look in its eyes seemed incredibly shocked. Right, Long Haochens current aim was a Starlight Unicorn, which are known as the highest grade of partners for knights. Hello, my friend. Do you still remember me? Long Haochen approached the Starlight Unicorn King leading the group with quick steps. When the Starlight Unicorn King saw him clearly, a screen of golden light immediately surrounded them. Long Haochen didnt try to avoid it, letting the golden light embrace him. The Starlight Unicorns voice could be heard in his mind. So its actually you, noble Scion of Light. Its a joy that I get to see you again. But I really didnt expect you to be so powerful in such a short time. And your holy aura seems to have be even more pure than in the past. The Starlight Unicorn appeared very familiar with Long Haochen. If one could say that thest time he had only acknowledged Long Haochens innate talent, this time he approved everything about Haochen. That being said, he strode forward, and, lowering his head, he rubbed it against Long Haochens hand. Petting the golden mane on its neck, Long Haochen dered, Old friend, today I came looking for you. Looking for me? Did something happen to you? The Starlight Unicorn raised his head, a surprised look appearing on his face. Long Haochen replied, I hope you would leave the mountain with me, and aid me. The holy lighting out from the Starlight Unicorn King became more powerful, and rapidly, his eyes became darker, Noble Scion of Light, gods chosen one, I am unqualified to be your mount. And furthermore, you already seem to have a mount of your own. Long Haochen nodded, Thats right, I already have a contracted partner. But for some particr reasons, he is temporarily unable to fight alongside me. The demons came to attack us, and alreadyunched a Holy War against us. We cannot afford to lose it. If we do, the whole continent will be put in a terrible situation. As a knight, I must resist the demons, and thats why I need your help. I dont need to bind you by contract, and only hope that you could be myrademy friendand fight by my side. The Starlight Unicorn King was in shock, and muttered to himself uncertainly before asking, Why did you choose me? In this holy mountain, there are many light elemental magical beasts that are a lot more powerful than I. As the gods chosen one that you are, I believe that there is no magical beast here that would reject your invitation, because being with you would help our cultivation greatly. Long Haochen showed a faint smile, Its because as far as I know, you are the one with the purest light attribute. And only you have such a wless heart. What I need is arade that can work well with me, rather than someone powerful. I believe that you should understand this. Whats more, although you are currently only a magical beast of the ninth rank, equivalent to the eighth step for us humans, I believe that after going through continuous battles, your cultivation will go up, and advancing into a Divine Unicorn shouldnt be impossible. Hearing him say that, the Starlight Unicorns eyes lit up. Lightly nodding to him, he immediately understood the favor Haochen was doing for him. As Long Haochen had obtained the blessings of the Goddess of Light, if he stayed by his side for a long time, it was very possible that the limits on the Starlight Unicorn Kings innate talent would be ovee, raising the likelihood of it bing a Divine Unicorn. Among all known Divine Unicorns, almost every single one had encountered especially favorable circumstances. Battling alongside the Scion of Light was naturally something the Starlight Unicorn King was willing to do. The current Long Haochen was a full-fledged gods chosen one, of even greater status than he originally had as the Scion of Light. At the time the Starlight Unicorn King had rejected Long Haochen, that was because the Scion of Light woulde to attract overly powerful enemies, but the current Long Haochen clearly had enough ability for self protection. Understood, I am willing to be yourrade. The Starlight Unicorn King lowered its head, presenting its horn in front of Long Haochen. The matter went even more smoothly than Long Haochen expected: He knew that the fact the Starlight Unicorn King gave his horn for him to pet meant that he was acknowledging allegiance to Haochen. Lightly petting his very warm and sensitive horn, Long Haochen held its head, Thank you, friend. I believe that you wont regret this. Lets go wipe out darkness together. If in the future, there is anything you need my help with, I will do my best to provide assistance. The Starlight Unicorn shook his head, I only hope for you to forgive my original rejection. Long Haochen only showed a smile, This is nothing. Back then, I was, after all, way too weak, totally unqualified to act as your partner. The Starlight Unicorn King gave him a grateful nce, Your heart is made of gold. Thank you for your forgiveness. Saying that, he turned back and let out some cries towards his fellow Starlight Unicorns. These Starlight Unicorns, reluctant to part with their king, immediately gathered in the middle of the circle they formed. Long Haochen moved back to the side. He knew that the Starlight Unicorn King was bidding farewell to hisrades. This trip to the Knights Saint Mountain went very smoothly. Long Haochen had taken a liking to this Starlight Unicorn King since the first time they met. He really didnt resent this Starlight Unicorn King for his initial rejection,and now that he met him for the second time, Long Haochen had a clear sense of thepatibility between the two of them. In fact, this Starlight Unicorn King could be said to be the closest to being a Starlight Divine Beast among the magical beasts. As for Divine Unicorns, they were the evolved form of a Starlight Unicorn! In the human records, there were not many Divine Unicorns. Long Haochen even wondered if Divine Unicorns could be a kind of Starlight Divine Beast. With extreme reluctance, the Starlight Divine Beast King finished saying his farewell to his n, and returned to Long Haochens side. My friend, if you want your nsmen to gain their freedom, maybe I can give you my assistance. Long Haochen knew that many magical beasts were confined to the Knights Sacred Mountains, and without being led out by humans, they would be unable to leave this ce. The Starlight Unicorn King shook its head, No need. We are actually unwilling to leave this ce. Here, our kin gain elerated growth, as this is a ce that is just for light elemental magical beasts like us. In some sense, this is our holynd. So is there even a reason why we would want to leave? Its not only the case for ourmunity of Starlight Unicorns: the othermunities mostly share this line of thoughts. The Knight Temple doesnt interfere with us much, and at the times youe looking for mounts, it is also a choice on our side. If we are unwilling, the Knight Temple would never try to force us. This is why our rtionship has always been so harmonious. Hearing everything he said, Long Haochen felt like his concerns were relieved. At least, the Knight Temple didnt let him down. We can go, noble chosen one of god Long Haochen softly caressed the head of the Starlight Unicorn, We are friends, no need to be so formal. Just call me Haochen, okay? And Ill call you Star King. How about it? The Starlight Unicorn nodded warmly, and the wings on its back vanished. Long Haochen didnt immediately ride the unicorn, but put on his Gold Essence Foundation Armor, before moving quickly onto the back of the Starlight Unicorn King. The two of them were very shocked to find out that when Long Haochen sat upon the Starlight Unicorn King, the Gold Essence Foundation Armor felt as if it was melting around them. Unexpectedly, the Starlight Unicorn King was included in the phenomenon, and around its body appeared ayer of dark gold. Only, the dark-goldyer around Star King was a lot weaker than for Long Haochen. But even so, the Star King could gain some of the armors benefits, providing a perfect harmonization between his and Long Haochens cultivation. This feeling was hard to describe, as if the two of them were made one. The other Starlight Unicorns saw the changes on Star King, and couldnt help but kneel down in front of that scene, full of worship. A Starlight Unicorn would normally have an all white body, with only its eyes, horn and mane being gold-colored. But if they were to awaken into Divine Unicorns, their whole body would turn golden. And the current Star King had some of the bearing of a Divine Unicorn. The other magical beasts became full of envy upon noticing the changes on Star King. Just as he said before, in the Knights Saint Mountain, no magical beast would refuse the invitation from a gods chosen one. With a golden glint, Star King pped the wings on its back, bringing Long Haochen soaring, and flying towards the direction from whence Long Haochen came. Star Kings flying speed was extremely fast, probablyparable with Long Haochens full-speed flight, or even faster. His flight was extremely stable as well, to the extent that Long Haochen didnt feel buffeted by the air. On Star Kings body,yers of soft spiritual energy bubbled out in the direction of Long Haochen, who found out to his astonishment that after his spiritual energy joined with Star Kings, it would not only mix with full power, but also, this kind of fused spiritual energy would immediately be in the state of Spiritual Hignd. Chapter 500 - Star King (II)

Chapter 500: Star King (II)

No wonder No wonder some said that a Starlight Unicorn is the optimum mount for a knight. It turned out that he would give such arge boost to him, or at least, ifpared to Haoyue, the boost of Little Light alone wouldnt be sufficient to match Star Kings. Although Yating also had a pure light attribute, she wasnt the same as Star King. Inparison, Yatings help was more general, while Star Kings specialization was boosts. The attacks of Starlight Unicorns were generally not their key strength. When riding Star King, Long Haochen really felt as if he had already be a knight of the ninth step. But unfortunately, the distance separating him from the rank of Divine Knight was still veryrge. ording to his estimate, he would need at least three more years to gain the possibility of breaking through. Of course, these three years would certainly be extended due to therge barrier represented by the extension of the ninth spiritual cavity. Less than half an hourter, Star King brought Long Haochen to the foggy area surrounding the Knights Sacred Mountain. As he hovered above the ground, Long Haochen jumped down from his back, and after having a small talk with the elder of the Knights Saint Mountain, he finally brought Star King out from the Knights Saint Mountain. Star King, seeing that there is no contract between the two of us, if I need to conceal you, would you be able to return to the Knights Saint Mountain? Long Haochen asked. Star King shook its head, There is no need for that. Even if there was a contract, this wouldnt be necessary. We Starlight Unicorns have our own methods. While saying that, Star King raised his head, and his forehead was lit with the shape of a five-pointed star. Rich golden light gathered from that star, and with a sh of golden light, this star surprisingly came out from his forehead,nding in Long Haochens hand. I can enter this gold star. After entering, I will begin a state of dormant cultivation, waiting for your summons. Long Haochen had a sh of realization, So it turns out that this is the reason for being named Starlight Unicorns, right? Star King replied, Whenever we activate this ability, we will turn into a hidden star. Need me to conceal myself? Long Haochen shook his head and handed the gold star back to Star King. Lowering his head, he rapidly ced it back in his forehead. Lets go. Long Haochens eyes were shing: his journey for the ten million contribution points had begun. Returning to Star Kings back, he had Star King run a few steps while unfolding his wings, heading straight for the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass under Long Haochens lead. Slow down, Star King. The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass having alreadye intoview, Long Haochen suddenly patted Star Kings back. A dark golden mask was put on his face in the meantime. Star King kept flying and gave Long Haochen a nce, while ripples that served tomunicate once again came out from its horn; Haochen, I am sensing some danger drawing close. Long Haochen revealed a smile, It is for this danger that we are waiting. I was afraid they wouldnt catch up. In terms of perception, how could he becking inparison to Star King? Given the great fanfare that he showed while returning on Star Kings back, it would be strange to not attract the demons attention. However, Long Haochen was now concealed behind his cloak, making these demons unable to even discern his face behind the Gold Essence Foundation Armor. But Star King was a king amongst Starlight Unicorns, magical beast of the ninth rank, and equivalent to a powerhouse of the eighth step. Just seeing him ride it was a proof of Long Haochens status. The reactions of the demons that had just discovered a knight left on his own were as one might well imagine. Of course, Long Haochen didnt ce himself in a dangerous situation. First, this ce was pretty close to the Knight Temple; and secondly, given his cultivation and equipment, escaping would be no issue. More importantly, with the current level reached by his mental force, catching him by surprise would be very difficult. Relying on the boost from his Gold Essence Foundation Armor, his perception could range up to fifty kilometers outwards, although his senses would be more vague as the distance increased. With his senses, he perceived that the most powerful demon standing in his way had the strength of the eighth step. This was where the journey for the ten million contribution points would start. Star King kept flying at a normal flying speed. Although he didnt have a formal contract with Long Haochen and was unable to link with him mentally, Starlight Unicorns were not known as the most fitting mounts for a knight for nothing. With a mere signal, he immediately started a counterattack, always responding to Long Haochens expectations with his actions. For instance, just by sensing Long Haochens left leg tensing up, Star King would head for the left side, with an inclination depending on the strength Long Haochen put into his leg. In the meanwhile, a soft light essence was already being transferred from Star King to Long Haochens body. Long Haochen slowly shut his eyes, letting the internal spiritual energy in him rise up. A rich fog of light started to surround his body, it was Storing Power. In the distance, ten figures were chasing after Long Haochen at lightning speed. As they approached, the sky became dimmer and dimmer. A knight riding a Starlight Unicorn out on his own? Could there be a better opportunity for them? After hearing this news, they immediately rushed forwards at their fastest speed. The powerhouse leading the group had the features of a Fiend n powerhouse. He had two horns on his head, a ferocious looking face, was over three meters tall, and an immense pair of wings was pping on his back, elerating his flight. In his right hand was a blood colored sword covered in ck mes, and his body was surrounded with a smell of darkness. That was a Fiend Commander. On his back were a group of Fiend nsmen, only they were not as powerful as that one, reaching about the seventh step in strength. No mistake, this was a team of Demon Hunter Removers, fully constituted of Fiend nsmen. As the area outside of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was under the supervision of the Death Demon God Saminaga, he naturally brought his direct subordinates along, forming an army of Fiends; though encountering a team of Demon Hunter Removers formed of only one race was still a pretty rare urrence. This squad before Haochens eyes was formed pretty recently, intended to deal with the situation at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Just as Yang Haohan said, the demons couldnt possibly encircle the Dragon Resisting Mountain Passpletely. They clearly didnt have enough powerhouses for that: if they tried, their forces would undoubtedly be scattered extremely thin, and would hardly avoid the fate of being disposed of one at a time by the Knight Temple. Therefore, the Death Demon God Saminaga went for the strategy of cing the sides of the mountain under surveince, so that if arge group of human reinforcements came in a rush, they would be able to deploy some soldiers to intercept and ambush them. Only, Saminaga didnt expect that the resources umted in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass would be so rich. This Holy War had already gone on for more than a year and a half, yet the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass seemed just as invulnerable as before. So for now, these Demon Hunter Removers were specialized tobat the scouts of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Even if they appeared not to have need of supplies, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass would nevertheless need tomunicate with the Temple Alliance. For that sake, they were bound to dispatch scouts. And as a measure against them, the demons arranged some Demon Hunter Removers, acting as small teams that were specialized at disposing of the enemy scouts, and had been sessful at this task several times already. A team of Demon Hunter Removers constituted entirely of Fiends. In terms of synergy, maybe they wouldnt be as effective as an ordinary team formed of various races, but they were able to move faster and react even more effectively, as well as listening to the direct orders from the Death Demon God Saminaga. Star King, elerate. At the time this group of Fiends appeared in Long Haochens field of view, he immediately gave Star King the order to elerate. A thin golden fog appeared more clearly as Star King kept elerating, and was already faintly visible. But if one didnt pay attention, he would basically not notice it, in addition to that, as Star King was flying, he led a golden six-pointed-star to envelop him, keeping Long Haochens Storing Power concealed. Finding out about Long Haochens eleration, the Fiend Commander had an evil grin on his face. Abruptly pping the wings on his back, he unleashed some ck light, shooting out like ck mes and pushing him to elerate at full force, without consideration for the consumption of his spiritual energy. As he took the initiative to chase after Long Haochen, a gap created itself between the other Fiends and him, which were naturally falling behind gradually. Long Haochens eyes slowly opened, his eyes current expression appearing as limpid as when he just woke up from his long state of deep meditation. But this time, it carried a chill that wasnt present at that time. Star Kings flying speed was growing faster and faster, indistinctly carrying an illusory feel. Even with Long Haochen on his back, his flying speed was not at all inferior to the Fiend Commanders t-out eleration. Both sides maintained the same distance as they approached the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Finding out that his eleration was insufficient, that Fiend Commander immediately became anxious. As he unleashed a punch with his empty left hand, it abruptly burst out with a dark red light, producing an intense explosion in the air. Its propelling power caused his speed to rise once again. This method of elerating came with a considerable consumption of spiritual energy and couldnt be used for too long. Yet it had the benefit that it would enable him to raise his speed beyond his limits. Although this Fiend Commander didnt know about Long Haochens cultivation, he seemed to be sure that this was at least a knight at the seventh step from the looks of the Starlight Unicorn King. Killing such a knight would be a considerably great contribution, to say nothing about the Starlight Unicorn. What the demons liked the most was food, and although they loathed light attribute the most, their favorite food was magical beasts of the light element. That meat was especially tender from their point of view. Long Haochens legs slightly sped up as he sat backwards, and Star King immediately understood his intention. Quietly reducing the frequency at which he batted his wings, he inclined to the side, and drew a magnificent arc in a high spot in midair. This was arge arc that was traced as the Fiend Commander following him kept nearing closer and closer, but it didnt change the fact that the Fiends of the seventh step were stillgging behind. Swish.?Star Kings wings let out an air severing sound, and his figure turned around in the midst of this arc, heading straight at that Fiend Commander. Chapter 501 - Star King (III)

Chapter 501: Star King (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Given Star Kings previous speed, turning back instantly was an impossible matter. But this arc showed that he was quite dexterous, letting him maintain an offensive power and speed that was directly proportional to his previous speed, minimizing the speed loss to the greatest possible degree. The Fiend Commander had in his eyes a quite malicious grin. This time, he saw that knight move, a heavy sword shing with golden light right in front of him. The Fiend Commander could immediately determine that he possessed a humans Glorious Tier equipment, yet he still didnt see this knight as being worthy of a second nce. Although a Starlight Unicorn gave a good boost, the best known feature of this kind of magical beast was itsck of offensive power. The greatest determinant for the Starlight Unicorns utility was its knights strength. However, a knight wielding only a Glorious Tier piece of equipment, even if not weak, couldnt possibly be a great opponent. Whats more, his own allies were right behind him. In fact, Long Haochen was wielding his sword Rippling Light, which didnt reach the Legendary Tier yet, although this piece of Glorious Tier equipment could be considered pretty good. His mental force having received the boost from the Gold Essence Foundation Armor, Long Haochen could easily grasp the movements of that Fiend Commander as well as the fluctuations from his spiritual energy, and even find out about the contempt and disdain filling his opponent. _You dare show such disdain? You shall be my sacrifice in this case._ Rippling Light was lifted up above his head, and the next instant, an iparably resplendent light burst out from this heavy sword. Such brightness was akin to the shining sun, immediately producing a great illumination although carrying no light essence. But because of this light ray, the Fiend Commander and the Fiends chasing after him were distracted. The next instant, the Rippling Light sword in Long Haochens hand came sweeping down. Simple and direct, the chopping motion used the simplest basics of a knights abilities. A bright, golden Light Edge came into being. But it seemed extremely natural, as if devoid of any energetic substance. This Light Edge couldnt be considered long, only reaching a length of three meters, and caused the Fiend Commander to unconsciously use his ck-me emitting, blood-colored heavy sword to block it. _ng._ The figures of Long Haochen and that Fiend Commander seemed to have merely bypassed each other. The two parties took a split second to separate in mid-air. Bearing Long Haochen, Star King immediately rushed straight at the Fiends of the Seventh Step in the rear, as that Fiend Commander only kept rushing forward, showing no trace of turning back. When his rush reached a distance of two hundred meters, that rush came to a sudden stop, and suddenly, an intense ck liquid burst out in the air. The robust Fiend Commander had simply been cut in two in mid-air, and then fell from the sky. No mistake, that was an insta-kill, which took only one blow. Starting from when he sensed the appearance of these Fiends, Long Haochen was making preparations for the battle up to now. And once his power at the eighth step underwent Power Storing, one could well imagine the formidable might of his attacks. Long Haochen understood clearly that his identity couldnt be leaked. For this reason, he chose to use weapons and techniques that he had never shown the demons before. The abilities he was originally adept with could not easily be shown, and in these circumstances, he needed to change up some of his fighting methods. Long Haochens previous attack was boosted by the Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor, which provided arge boost to his spiritual energy, and was in the Spiritual Hignd state due to the addition of Star Kings spiritual energy. The attack clearly disyed the might from Spiritual Hignd. The iparably dazzling glow clearly came from that. Just think, could Long Haochens fully charged blow, which consumed over thirty thousand spiritual energy, be something that Fiend Commander could block? Long Haochen had learned about the formidable power of Spiritual Hignd through experience. The might from the Aria of the Goddess of Light coupled with his sword intent and the link between the sword and his body didnt even prove to be enough to break the defense of his grandfather, Long Tianying, who was only using an ordinary Glorious Tier shield, and why was that? It was due to Spiritual Hignd. Of course, the current Long Haochen didnt have as good control as his grandfather who was able to aplish all that in a split second. But even so, after undergoing Spiritual Hignd, his spiritual energys might tripled at minimum. Thirty thousand spiritual energy, multiplied by three,his offensive power was enough to match the standard of ny thousand spiritual energy. Rippling Lights characteristic was its double attack. This could seem simple, but how could a single blow turning instantly into two have the same power? Because of the excessive power of Long Haochens previous attack, the effects from Rippling Light werent fully disyed, and the second blow only got roughly thirty thousand spiritual energy inside, but this was added up to the terrifying power of the first strike of ny thousand spiritual energy. Adding this to the fact that both sides were rushing forward at a mad speed, the Fiend Commander dying instantly was not a surprising matter. In fact, this was under the premise that Long Haochen didnt even use any of his sword intent. A year and a half of bitter cultivation and the acquisition of the mighty Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor could be said to have turned over within the current Long Haochen a totally new leaf. Everything went as in Long Haochens calctions. At the time the two pieces of the Fiend Commanders dead body fell, he rushed towards the nine Fiends of the seventh step. Seeing their captain die instantly, these nine were as shocked as one could imagine. How could they not be in total panic? What greeted them was Long Haochens terrifying attacks. In an instant, Long Haochen abruptly leapt down from Star Kings back. One could clearly see Star Kings body letting out a long golden chain made out of light, clinging to his waist. While enabling Long Haochen toe back at anytime, it also enabled the spiritual energy amplification to keep going. In midair, Long Haochen actually didnt unleash his spiritual wings, but was shot out like a bullet, rushing at lightning speed. Three strikes of golden colored light wereunched in session, and pitiful cries burst forth along with surges of blood. Like that, six of the the nine Fiends of the seventh step died instantly. This just happened too fast. With the backing from Star King, Long Haochen was able to maintain Spiritual Hignd even without preparations. The power of this attack alone was enough against the ill-equipped Fiends of the seventh step, which ended up pretty much like a flock of sheep in front of a tiger. Thest three Fiends of the seventh step were in total terror, running away frantically. However, they were already toote. Thick golden light kept twisting through the air, as Long Haochens attack borrowed power from his counterpart. Moving freely for a thousand meters, it chopped the head of thest Fiend of the seventh step very naturally. Gripping the golden chain on his waist, he returned to Star Kings back. This battle was simply a unteral massacre. From the beginning to the end of the battle, no more than one minute passed. It was a battle of wits and guts that went on. Did he really have the advantage against a squad of Demon Hunter Removers formed of ten Fiends? In one-versus-onebat, they wouldnt even be an opponent in his eyes, not even that Fiend Commander. But dont forget about the Conjoined boosting skill of the Fiend nsmen. If these Fiendspleted their Conjoined Boost, Long Haochen wouldnt have been able to kill them so easily. But of course, the Conjoined Boost had its own drawbacks: it would be hard to believe that a group of ten people together would able to move rapidly and unhindered. Deliberately drawing them out was quite effective against the opposite partys Fiend Commander. Without wasting time, he used up thirty thousand spiritual energy to kill him in one strike, not only shocking the cohesion of the Fiends, but also getting rid of the most dangerous threat. The following course of the battle was very simple. He used not only his strength, but also his experience and knowledge. After getting rid of this team of Demon Hunter Removers, Long Haochen didnt leave in a hurry, but rode on the back of Star King, picking up the corpses of these Fiends in the Eternal Melody before gazing coldly at the other direction in the sky and then proceeding for the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass on Star Kings back. About five meters away, a Demon Envoys head ruptured in a split second, dropping from the sky. Long Haochen had found out about this Demon Envoys mental probing long before. This was an ability simr to Eagles Eye. Only, he didnt go deal personally with this Demon Envoy, only using his powerful mental power to leave him dead, the only shame being that it didnt give any contribution points. A Fiend Commander of the eighth step for eight thousand contribution points, and two thousand contribution points for every Fiend of the seventh step. Thats already more than twenty thousand contribution points. Wait for me everyone. I will do my best to gather these points the fastest I can to join with you guys. _Are you guys still well? Still safe and sound? Just wait for me, you must survive at least until then!_ In the distance, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was alreadying to view. Long Haochen was still far away, but could smell a reeking scent in the midst of the biting cold. The demons are besieging the city? In a hurry, Long Haochen brought Star King to the front of this battlefield, while transferring his internal spiritual energy at a fast speed, absorbing light essence to recover from the previous battle. It was obviously the Gold Essence Foundation Armor that was being replenished this way, as Long Haochen basically didnt make use of his own spiritual energy on the previous battle. Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Among all six grand mountain passes, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was the most extraordinary one. In regards to the defensive aspect, it should be the best, because of being established entirely using the mountain as a basis, while the main buildings were inside the mountains. Given the environment, even the Demon God Emperor would hardly be able to pass through it in a short time. However, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was also the hardest one to live in. The enemies werent the only ones affected by the extreme cold of the area! The officers and soldiers of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass were also affected by the vile weather. The life here was monotonous and dull: outside of battle, everything would be all ck. One would only be able to live inside the mountain, but such hard conditions would only contribute to increasing the knights persevering nature and sturdy builds. Chapter 502 - Long Returns

Chapter 502: Long Returns

Trantor: GravityTales In front of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was a slope two hundred meters long, a very precipitous terrain covered by snow and ice all year round. Its entrance acted as a natural fortress, only, after the experience of a year-and-a-half-long Holy War, the current defensive weapons of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass were mostly either destroyed in the hands of the demons, or the reserves of magical beast crystals to sustain them were insufficient. Now it was fully reliant on manpower to resist the demon offenses. In the distance, eight demon god pirs were glinting on the horizon, dispersing dazzling light. Therge army of demons was flowing like a tide, rushing towards the Dragon Resisting Mountain. It was reasonable for the Demon God Emperor to have assigned the Death Demon God Saminaga asmander for the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Launching attacks from the ground was indeed a true challenge, so aerial attacks had much better chances. Fiends were not only experts at flight and strong physically, but moreover, their nsmen were numerous. For sheer strength, aside from the Demon God Emperors Devil Dragon n, the Fiend n was the best. After all, Star Demons and Moon Demons were far from able topare with the Fiend Demons. Therefore, after the two sides had gone through over a year of repeated probing attacks and defensive battles to gather experience, now most battles were about the Temple Alliance having to resist thebined aerial and ground-based attacks of the demon armies. On the ground, the ones leading the offense were mainly the Demonic Wolves and Demonic Bears. This wasnt because of their expertise in climbing, but because of their capability of enduring the cold. Because of this bitterly cold northernnd, since the beginning of the Holy War the demon forces had undergone serious losses; but through constant reinforcement, the troops in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass had almost entirely been reced by those resistant to the cold. Demonic Wolves are a powerful n among demons. Standing in a way that is simr to humans, they have wolf heads, and their four limbs have sharp ws on their tips. As they climbed the walls, their ws kept letting out crisp sounds upon contact with the ice. Compared to Demonic Wolves, Demonic Bears had a much harder time climbing. They had extreme strength, but when climbing, they would need their bear paws to create holes in the ice, and make use of those to keep their bnce, which slowed down the process. But dont forget that among the eight great demon gods standing outside the area of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Passy the Demonic Bears demon god Valefor, along with his main force. With him to supervise and lead them, the Demonic Bears spared no effort to follow the orders. Making use of their great strength, they steadily made their way up. As for the situation in the sky, it was the stage for the Fiends. The omnipresent Fiends kept assaulting the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass relentlessly from the air. Fiends of the sixth step or above have the ability of flight, but also can bear a lot of weight. Frequently, one would see some Fiends being carried by the ones with the ability of flight. Fiends, Demonic Bears and Demonic Wolves. The attacks performed by the great fighters from these three races represented an enormous threat for the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. But still, as the head of the Six Great Temples, the Knight Temple had plenty of trump cards for the situation. Above the city, arge amount of fully armored knights were lined up, glinting with the dazzling golden light that took the shape of a protective barrier, they blocked offense after offense from the demons. The most bnced vocation for humans is indeed the knight. Knights were able to use some light magic while also being expert in close quarters fighting; more importantly, they could use healing magic. Therefore, even without other vocations toplement them in battle, knights are quite able to both defend themselves and kill the enemies. At the same time, the Knight Temple has the greatest aerial force of the Alliance, which is their powerful Airborne Knight Regiment. Depending on their kinds of mount, a knight would, after reaching the fifth step, either be an Airborne Knight or an Earth Knight. In other words, the Airborne Knight Regiment is only constituted of knights of the fifth step or above, reaching a total count of over ten thousand. This force is the main pir of the Knight Temples army. But as this Holy War kept on going, the Airborne Knights numbers kept decreasing. Now the Airborne Knights that retained the abilities of flight andbat were less than seven thousand. And even this was only because they were the greatest targets of priority for light-attribute support magic. Furthermore, they were only used after the greatest killing weapons or defending devices became unuseable, bing thenceforth the main force in battle. If one were to look over the situation from high altitude, one could see clearly that both sides were clearly lit in gold and ck, confronting each other. In terms of quantity, the Fiends upied the advantage: they were twice as numerous as the Airborne Knights, and the most terrible was that some Fiends had Hell Demons on their back. Hell Demons have very powerful magic, and are expert inunching crowd-targeted spells. Therefore, the aerial demon forces were in no hurry to reach the close range of the Airborne Knights. As they confronted each other, the demon side only sent forward some Little Fiends and Grand Fiends, as the ones with the ability of flight were defending the remote-spell-using Hell Demons. The Airborne Knight Regiment didnt advance prematurely as the Hell Demons and their guardians werent the only flying demons. To the knights, the most important mission was to guard the defensive mountain pass and not to take chances. The mounts from the Airborne Knights were very uniform, formed solely of the unified and cultured Heavenly Horses. As a magical beast race of the fifth rank and a subspecies of the unicorn-type, they arepletely white, have no horn atop their head, and rely on their snow-white pairs of wings to soar above the horizon. The united Airborne Knight Regiment also had a deep mutual understanding with their mounts, their battle forces being the most reliant on the association between the knights and the Heavenly Horses. Therefore, in bnced battles, the demons would certainly be no match for the Airborne Knights. At the vanguard of the Airborne Knight Regiment stood a group of gold- and silver-colored knights. At least six Gold Essence Foundation Knights and a hundred Mythril Foundation Knights formed this group leading the Airborne Knight Regiment. Both sides seemed to have reached a vague agreement, as none of their powerhouses of the ninth step appeared on the battlefield: only soldiers of the eighth step at most were present. Immense barriers of holy light appeared in the skies, one after another resisting the magic bombardment from the Hell Demons. The Airborne Knight Regiment preserved a neat formation from beginning to end, ready to enter battle at any time. Their holy light barriers could be described as an imprable defense. Long Tianying stood in the highest area above the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass City. The city was formed with threeyers, the bottom one being the most broad, where the army of knights underwent battle. The secondyer was for the mages, all specializing in the ice element. In the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, no reinforcement from the other Temples were present outside of these mages. This was the great character and unquestionable integrity of the Knight Temple, that preferred to let the other five Temples provide assistance to each other. Behind Long Tianying were over thirty people. Amongst them, half were d in Gold Essence Foundation Armor, and the other half in armor reaching at least the Legendary Tier. Without a doubt, they were the true core of the Knight Temple. Every one of them were fully equipped and prepared to join battle at any time. Attention, the Airborne Knight Regiment is to go down to the altitude of a hundred meters, and release Glorious Halo and Thorny Halo. Long Tianyings severe voice was heard. His sight was focused on the Demonic Wolves and Demonic Bears climbing upwards. Without a doubt, when the first batch of Demonic Bears climbed over the city walls, that would be the time the Fiends wouldunch the aerial assault. The demons were fully aware that the humans knew about their fighting methods, and yet never adapted. Coordinating terrestrial and aerial troops as one was always the best way. Right at this time, the glints from the eight demon god pirs brightened, and one could faintly see that inside of these eight demon god pirs slowly appeared eight demons. The one appearing in the biggest pir was a grey-haired, tall and pale man d in a grey armor, looking at Long Tianying in the distance. This demon god was full of deathly stillness. His eyes were a shiny white, and his face looked quite handsome. A pair of immense grey wings extended from his back, reaching over twenty meters wide. Although it wasnt so eye-catching in the distance, with the addition of the deep grey radiance on his back, it let out a kind of irresistible oppressive feeling. Long Tianyings eyes lit up as well, and a golden glint of light appeared therein. As he ced his hands on his back, his body slowly floated above the ground. A radiance of blue and gold abruptly burst out from his back, carrying an immense bluish-gold light beam that soared up. The elegant Divine Throne of Order and Law slowly came to view in the background of the Divine Knight of Control and Restriction Long Tianying. The instant the Divine Throne appeared, the whole Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and the Airborne Knight Regiment all let out deafening acmations. To the Knight Temple, Divine Thrones were not only a divine tool, but the moral pirs of the whole body of knights. As long as the Divine Thrones existed, they would be able to face any powerful enemy with confidence. The Death Demon God Saminaga wrinkled his brows, murmuring aloud, This Divine Throne is quite troublesome. Nearby, a stalwart man with a bronze-colored skin and yellow eyes looked at him respectfully, Shall I go? This was the sixth-ranked demon god Valefor. If one only looked at external appearance, this person looked like a robust human warrior. His figure could hardly bepared with his immense nsmen. Saminaga shook his head, This Long Tianying wont be an easy opponent. In a one-on-one fight, I dont have the certainty of being able to kill him. His Divine Throne is just too troublesome. Letting you go wont achieve better results than if I went. And furthermore, theres also that Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy present in the Knight Temple. That one will be even harder to deal with. Calling him the greatest human powerhouse wouldnt be exaggerated. Since His Majesty is ordering us to carry out a prolonged war, we shouldnt go for such an all-out battle. As he said that, the fiery fighting intent in him dissipated, as he kept confronting Long Tianying. None of them showed the initiative tounch the attack. Right at this time, the Demonic Bears finally finished climbing the walls of the city. The Demonic Wolvesunched frantic, almost suicidal, attacks. Their goal was simple: it was to let all the Demonic Bears safely reach the top of the city. With the defensive power and strength of the Demonic Bears, as long as they would be able to stand firm on the city walls, it would definitely inflict a huge blow to the Knight Temple. The holy light formations from the Airborne Knight Regiment that went a hundred meters down gained in power, and purplish-golden Thorny Halos as well as bluish-gold Glorious Halos became incredibly brilliant due to the simultaneous release from many Airborne Knights. Furthermore, these halos were also glinting on the heads of the knights standing above the city. Han Yu was amongst them. On his left hand he held a heavy golden shield and on his right hand his Scarlet Wildness. Launching a shield charge, he ruthlessly knocked against a Demonic Bear that was just done climbing the walls. That Demonic Bear was also tough, supporting his own body with both his arms, it entered close quarters battle with Han Yu. With a loud bang, both the Demonic bear and Han Yu were forced back by a violent collision. However, the Scarlet Wildness had alreadyshed out. It was presently radiating a white heat from Holy Sword. Thebination of a heavy sword at Legendary Tier and the skill Holy Sword couldnt be easy to resist, even with the physical resistance of the Demonic Bear. In actual fact, although there existed a gap between the physical builds of the two, Han Yus external spiritual energy was not much inferior to the Demonic Bears. After bathing in the dragon crystal infusion, and with the addition of the Forest Boa Training Pills amplification, Han Yus external spiritual energy was absolutely not below his internal spiritual energy. This was also the reason why everyone from the 64thmander-grade Demon Hunt Squad still survived even after going through so many dangerous battles. With an angry roar, the Demonic Bear was knocked back right after managing to climb above the wall, and was thoroughly enraged. The iron hammer in his hand was swung, aiming right at Scarlet Wildness. Right that instant, a figure fell in the midst of the two of them. It was a knight, sent flying by the powerful force of an enemy. The hammer in the Demonic Bears hand kept going without the slightest hesitation, but Han Yu was extremely startled. He was faster to react than the Demonic Bear, but if his attack kept going, Scarlet Widness would surely strike the body of his teammate. With his deep feelings towards his fellow soldiers, how could he keep going? This all happened just too fast. Scarlet Wildness was already halfway there! If he were to try retracting his force, he would be the one suffering a bacsh, and that fellow soldier would hardly escape getting crushed to death by the Demonic Bear. But if the attack kept going, his fellow knight would die by his hand! Since going to war, this was the first time Han Yu faced such a difficult choice. This was just happening too fast, giving him far from enough time to decide. A resplendent golden light glinted, and just as suddenly as the falling knight appeared, he disappeared in a sh of light. A myriad of golden lights burst out in that instant. Everything in the range of a hundred meters was enveloped by the golden light. Within its scope, all the Demonic Wolves and Demonic Bears gushed blood, copsing like wheat. Han Yus eyes became moist, yelling loudly, Captain! He came back!! Was it time for the 64th squad to reunite? Chapter 503 - Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, divine tool? (I)

Chapter 503: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, divine tool? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Captain! Han Yus shout was very emotional. After a year and a half, he was finally able to fight alongside his Captain like before. He was now filled with the memories of his previous battles alongside Long Haochen. Ever sinceing back from seclusion, he had been fighting in this Holy War, making use of his battle technique and strength to establish himself rapidly. Although he was not yet a Mythril Foundation Knight, he was nheless a mid-ranked officer in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, responsible for defending a veryrge area. In the eyes of the other knights, the Temple Knight Han Yu was extremely outstanding. It seemed that he stood firm after every battle he fought. However, only Han Yu knew how lonely he had felt for too long. Since he had be a Demon Hunter, Han Yu was like a second knight on the team. He had no need to stand in the front, and only served as an important support for Long Haochen. With Long Haochen there, he was full of confidence, battling under his lead to attack the enemy together. He didnt need to put much thought into other matters, as simply following Long Haochensmand was sufficient. But after joining this Holy War, thanks to his cultivation and outstanding performance, he gradually turned into a leader. He came to understand that many things needed to be taken into consideration as a leader, and that being a leader came with a lot of pressure. Having gotten used to following Long Haochensmand, he didnt really like these feelings. Many times, he was totally unable to disy his full strength, and had to adapt to his other teammates. In times of desperate struggles, he would have an intense feeling of helplessness, thinking, _What if I had Captain to fight by my side?_ At the time Long Haochens seclusion finished, no one was more excited than Han Yu. It was a sincere feeling of carefree excitement. Reminiscing on the adventures they had in the Deste Hissing Caverns, the Illusory Paradise, and the Swamps of Gloom, he thought, _Captain is finally back. Hes finally about to fight by my side again!_ Han Yu had been waiting far too long for this day. Although Long Haochen was fully concealed behind his dark gold-colored Gold Essence Foundation Armor, the sword Rippling Light in his hand could not be faked! Captain was back! Indeed, Long Haochen was back. Having witnessed the battles start from afar, he came rushing as fast as he could. Besides, he had on his shoulders the huge pressure of the ten million contribution points mission, and such battles were the best way to gather them. That was why he came in such a rush. Originally, Long Haochen was prepared to join the aerial battle on Star Kings back, as the Fiends and Hell Demons were alreadyunching full power assaults against the Airborne Knight Regiment. However, he came to notice the brightly shining Scarlet Wildness on his way to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Just like Han Yu had no difficulty recognizing him, how would he not recognize his own good brother? Therefore, Long Haochen renounced joining the aerial battle, recalled Star King, andnded on the ground in a sh, not only resolving Han Yus great struggle but alsounching some powerful attacks, greatly lightening the pressure on the knights. That myriad of golden glints came from a powerful offensive ability used by Retribution Knights, called Meteor Shower Strike, a Retribution Knight ability of the seventh step. The single-target offensive power of this ability is not very significant, but its area of effects is veryrge. Having gone through continuous trials, Long Haochen understood very clearly his own defects. Mostly, hecked powerfulrge-scale offensive abilities, which was known as the universal shoring of knights. Large-scale offenses and boosts formed up the majority of the techniques Long Haochen chose to train. The Holy War had already begun, and in the future, he couldnt possibly keep fighting only small groups of enemies. There would certainly be much more powerful enemies, with many more battles alongside other fellow soldiers. So these two kinds of abilities were a must-have. With regard to single-target abilities, Long Haochen had enough confidence: single-target strength was generally measured with the strongest attack a powerhouse can use as a basis. Since the sword intent in Long Haochens possession already exceeded the vast majority of his single-target offensive abilities in strength, he therefore preferred to focus on strengthening hisprehension of sword intent. By relying on the divine sword, Aria of the Goddess of Light, as long as his understanding towards sword intent kept rising, his single-target offensive power would keep growing. This was something no single-target ability couldpare to. With Rippling Light in hand to add Ripples of Light to a Meteor Shower Strike, the synergy of these three powerful additions to his arsenal enabled Long Haochen to clear arge amount of enemies instantly. A Demonic Bear had great defense, and so what? With Rippling Lights doubly reinforced attack, Long Haochens eighth-step cultivation and the addition of the great piercing power of Ripples of Light, their defense was already insufficient. Han Yu. Long Haochen opened his left hand which grabbed the knight that barely escaped cmity. Spreading both arms, he directly gave Han Yu a big hug. The surrounding knights cheered loudly altogether. They didnt know Long Haochen, but recognized the Gold Essence Foundation Armor on him! Having a Gold Essence Foundation Knight join the battle was not only a great help in terms of fighting strength, but also gave them arge boost in confidence and vigor. Captain, I can finally fight alongside you. Han Yus excited body was shivering, and the two of them pped each others armor, letting out a powerful tinkling sound. Long Haochen let go of his hug, a smile on his face, We should go and attack the enemy now. Well talk some more after the battle is over. Saying that, Long Haochen stepped forward withrge strides, advancing towards the city walls. Han Yu followed closely behind, looking at his taller figurepared to before. Tears fell uncontrobly on his face. _What a familiar figure! I wish to follow him for a lifetime._ It could be seen that the demon side discovered the changes here. As the Demonic Bears kept climbing, Long Haochen stood straight above the city walls, his Gold Essence Foundation Armor giving off orange brilliant rays that were enough to dazzle ones eye. Not turning into the focus of the battlefield would be hard in this situation. From the sky, Long Tianying had noticed Long Haochens return long ago. At the time he noticed Long Haochens return on Star Kings back, a faint smile appeared on his face, thinking to himself, _A Starlight Unicorn KingThere could surely be no better mount for him! This kid really knows how to choose._ Rapidly, Long Haochens battle started. The ck figures of two enemies rapidly rushed to him, belonging to two Fiend Kings of the eighth step. Demons are well aware of how strong a Foundation Armor Knight could be, particrly one that is d in Pure Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Such a powerhouse being in town was nothing else but a mortal danger for ordinary demons. And Long Haochensst Meteor Shower Strike got rid of over a hundred Wolfkin Demons and Demonic Bears. The other Wolfkin Demons and Demonic Bears started to deliberately avoid his direction. Demons were certainly brave in a fight, but none of them would be willing to send himself to death for nothing. Looking into the distance, a trace of coldness could be seen in Long Haochens eyes as he murmured the words, Thats another 16,000 contribution points! Staying motionless, a soft golden fog started to rise around him. Without need for Long Haochen to mention anything, Han Yu joined him with an extreme coordination. The pair of golden spiritual wings he spread out looked different from before as well: they looked a third bigger than before, which was a sign their strength had risen. Meanwhile, a spheroid one meter in diameter silently appeared behind Han Yu. It had a plump figure, looking a bit ridiculous on the outside, but seeing it, the two Fiend Kings had a chill. It was a Demonic Eye Commander. An eighth rank Demonic Eye Commander. Comparable to a human powerhouse of the seventh step, this was more importantly a rarely seen magical beast specialized inunching mental attacks. With such a magical beast to assist a Gold Essence Foundation Armor, could they have an easy fight? But since they started to make the trip, they naturally could note back without aplishing anything. The goal they gave themselves wasnt excessive, only to upy the attention of this Gold Essence Foundation Knight. In the air, a gaudy, dark-red area appeared where one could clearly distinguish two Fiend Commanders. Their backs were sparkling with dark-red light. Lifting up the heavy swords in their hands, they started a hacking motion at over a hundred meters distance from Long Haochen. A concentrated dark-red glint of light instantly shot into the air. The two chops matched uppletely, and didnt grow in volume. Instead, it instantly decreased in volume, and aimed straight at Long Haochen. _Wow? A joint attack?_ Long Haochens eyes wavered. He didnt know that these Fiend Commanders were brothers and therefore had a very greatpatibility. They were experts inbined attacks, which made them very famous among Fiends. The strength of the two brothers joint attacks were second only to the power of a Fiend Kings attack. Facing that dark red de, Long Haochen didnt seem perturbed. It was obvious that this attack wasnt aimed at killing him, but at interrupting his umtion of power. Demons and humans have been facing each other for so many years that they understood very well the kind of techniques used by knights. Han Yu didnt move, his body letting out a simr kind of golden fog,ing from the same Power Storing. Having absolute confidence in his captain, he believed that this kind of attack would absolutely not harm him. The Demonic Eye revealed six tentacles, and they became much longer, moving around him. Be it Demonic Wolves or Demonic Bears, those encountering the tentacles would only shiver violently in response, before dropping dead. Chapter 504 - Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Divine Tool? (I)

Chapter 504: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Divine Tool? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Without a doubt, Demonic Eyes are the nemesis of Demonic Bears. Thetter have extremely good physical defenses, but their defenses against mental attacks cannot really be praised. As Demonic Bears are magical beasts of the sixth step, a Demonic Eye is unable to break their defenses, but with a mere Spirit Shock, a Demonic Eye is able to put these Demonic Bears in a daze. And, given that the Demonic Bears were climbing, it would certainly cause them to fall down. Given their massive stature, such a fall would not be much different from a tree falling, greatly influencing the climb of the other demons. This way, the area defended by Long Haochen and Han Yu didnt sustain many attacks from the iing demons. The knights present all being veterans of practical battles, they didnt rush to join. They rather chose to focus on reinforcing the other areas of the battlefield, leaving Long Haochen and Han Yu plenty of room to battle. An orange glint shone on Long Haochens left arm,ing from Divine Obstruction. _Bam!_ Long Haochen didnt move, not even an inch. The highly concentrated dark red de turned instantly into countless specks of light, as a thick, bright light lit up Long Haochens surroundings. A resplendent sh of light rose up abruptly, taking the shape of a dazzlingly bright lightning bolt, aimed straight at two powerful enemies. In the instant that followed Long Haochens action, Han Yu also acted. The wings at his back followed after Long Haochen, and the instant after taking off, his eyes became a bloody red, as he aimed for the Fiend Commander on the right side. As if the Demonic Eye was sticking to Han Yu, he followed Han Yu the whole way. Lightning sh reached a frightening speed, and Long Haochen was aiming it at the area in the middle of two Fiend Commanders, as if aiming to attack the two at the same time. The Fiend Commander brothers werent twins for nothing. On their faces appeared looks of contempt. One of them held his sword in his right hand, the other one had his sword on his left hand, and the two of them held their other hands together. The Fiend Commander on the left swung his arm, suddenly aiming a chop forwards while throwing his brother ahead, along with a blood-colored sword edge. In mid-air, one could vaguely see a massive Fiend figure shing, surrounded by a dark area. A fist-sized, blood-colored skull suddenlyunched from the sky, aimed at Long Haochen. Although this blood-colored skull was small in volume, the instant it came into their view, Long Haochen and Han Yu both had a slight feeling of terror. Right at this moment, the Demonic Commander reacted. Soft, distorted ripples were spread to a one-meter diameter around that massive eye. Immediately, the ck mist that was forming behind that blood-colored skull was dispelled, revealing the figures of the two Fiend Commanders, and at the same time, that Mental Shock attack caused them to slow down. In the state of Lightning sh, Long Haochen was indeed just too fast. From the instant that red skull appeared, it took no time for Long Haochen to sh with the enemy. However, it wasnt Long Haochens body that impacted, but his snail-carapace-shaped shield, which changed instantly into a size merely one-third of a meter in diameter. With a _Pam_ sound, the blood-red skull struck the shield, and a soft orange light quietly spread to the surroundings, mystically dissolving that terrifying force. In fact, at the time the Fiend Commander brothers joined hands, theirbined force already reached the level of the ninth step. This blood-colored skull wasparable to a perfect Spiritual Hignd! Unfortunately, they encountered an Epic Tier shield originating from the transformation of a legendary Starlight Divine Beast. However, that blood-colored skull was not merely an offensive skill. After its offensive strength got dispelled, the skull acted as if it was alive and stuck to the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. With a dark-red glint of light, the skull-shaped face turned into a Fiend, biting at the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. This skill of the Fiend Commander brothers was very tyrannical. The great talents bestowed upon the two brothers made them receive the appreciation of the Demon God of Death Saminaga, and he personally taught them for a period of time. Therefore, they vastly surpassed any other Fiend Commander of the same rank in terms of skills. Otherwise, they wouldnt take the initiative to face off against a Saint Knight d in an epic tier Gold Foundation Mythril Armor. Moreover, this blood-colored skull also had a terrifying ability of contamination. Creating this blood-red skull requires the blood and part of the soul of a Fiend, and thus, it could be called either a skill or a piece of equipment. From the Fiend Commander brothers previous attempts, even a piece of Legendary Equipment would, after getting bitten by the blood colored skull, be damaged, or even get destroyed. Even a piece of epic equipment would be greatly affected. When they saw the shield of the epic tier, they decided to use this blood-colored skull. This thing was named Blood Grudge, a powerful cursing ability that would give headaches to any human powerhouse. Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent this day. If the brother had aimed this Blood Grudge at Long Haochens Gold Essence Foundation Armor, it would perhaps have had some effect, requiring Long Haochen to waste some time to get rid of its effects. But to their bad luck, their target this time was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. In fact, in all of human history, Starlight Divine Beasts such as this Divine Snail of Sun and Moon had appeared only three times, and as the spokespersons of the Goddess of Light, the purity of their light attribute surpassed even a Scion of Light such as Long Haochen. How could a light attribute of such purity be contaminated by the effects of this kind of cursed magic item? At the same time that the orange glitter of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon shone, a gentle and luminescent sparkle spread out from the shield, engulfing that Blood Grudge. Then, the Divine Snail Shield Moon lit up with intensity, and let out an intense ray of light, repelling all the surrounding darkness without exception. In the scope of this bright light, Long Haochen and Han Yu both felt as if they were refreshed by a sunrise. An immense sun appeared, causing Long Haochens left arm to feel heavy. The spiritual energy in his body was drained at a frightening speed. In under a second, fifty thousand units of spiritual energy were used up like that. But by chance, this amount was extracted from the Gold Essence Mythril Armor, otherwise, he would have been totally sucked dry. But this energy wasnt consumed without good cause. Under the influence of the formidable area of bright light, the Fiend Commander brothers came suddenly to a standstill. They were shouting in pain, but remained totally motionless. A ck gas was released from their skins,ing from within their bodies which were crumbling at a frightening speed. _What is happening?_ Not only were the enemies stunned, even Long Haochen was in shock. It was so extreme that it even attracted the attention of Long Tianying and Saminaga, who were mainly in the sky serving as means of deterrence. That golden color was really extraordinary. It seemed as if the seven colors of the rainbow were glinting inside, like soft waves rippling inside. This phenomenon covered an area a hundred meters in diameter, in which only Long Haochen, Han Yu, the Demonic Eye and the two Fiend Commanders remained. The Demonic Eye disappeared the instant this light appeared, relying on his contract to leave. Even if this bright light wasnt directed at him, he didnt dare remain here. But Han Yu and Long Haochen had another kind of feeling. They felt that this extraordinary bright light had attained a state of transcendence. All the spiritual cavities in their bodies shivered bizarrely. At each shiver, their internal spiritual cavities felt as if they were expanding. And the spiritual energy in these cavities was transforming to enter the state of Spiritual Hignd at a frightening speed. _What happened? And how?_ Long Haochen himself didnt know, but these two Fiend Commanders were rapidly crumbling, disappearing bit by bit. Their roars of rm and shouts of rage were of no use at all. In the rainbow-colored light, all efforts were futile. The Snail Shield of Sun and Moon already changed its color from the orange color of the epic tier, gaining a golden iridescence that continuously moved around it. Blood Grudge had dispersed long ago, directly crumbling from contact with the shield. In the sky, a gray shadow shed to Long Haochens location, and beside it, a blue-gold radiance flickered. No sound came, but in midair, a stormy light source spread out. This light source was made from a mix of gray and bluish-gold colors. Then, Long Tianying could be seen sitting behind it on the Divine Throne of Law and Order, while Saminaga returned to his original location, his body letting out some gray undtions. In the previous sh, neither of the two sides had the advantage. But judging from their faces, Long Tianying was visibly a lot more nervous. Certainly, Saminaga was aiming to save these Fiend Commander brothers, but Long Tianying had stopped him. Until now, the two armies retained a lot of self-control, seeing that none of the other powerhouses of the ninth step followed the twomanders. Thats because neither the demons nor the Knight Temple could bear such losses. As the Demon God of Death, Saminaga wouldnt let his elites die without reacting! If such loss persisted, how would he be able to stand on an equal footing with the Moon and Star Demon Gods? At this moment, Saminaga and Long Tianyings gazes were focused on that seven-colored light. Intense changes also happened to the air forces in mid-air.

Chapter 505: Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Divine Artifact? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # As the bluish-gold and gray light rays dispersed, the aerial forces of the two sides dispersed at great speed, as if struck by a typhoon, andnded on the ground. No one dared remain in the sky. If their movements were just a bitte, they would sustain the shock from that monstrous airflow spreading violently in the sky. The sh between the twomanders caused an earth shattering impact, which is also why they wouldnt lightly intervene. If the ravages from a battle between them spread to the armies fighting below, the destruction that would be caused would be no joke. But to the surprise of all watching, at the moment the dual colored light rays came into contact with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, it dispersed without a sound, not affected in the least. _What is happening?_ This was the thought all the powerhouses present shared! Right, how could the aftermath from the sh between the twomanders-in-chief be stopped like that? Although it had weakened with time, even the powerhouses of the eighth step fled from it immediately! Yet that rainbow-colored light stopped it just like that. The seven-colored light was starting to weaken, vanishing gradually, but only bones were left of those two Fiend Commanders, and even those bones started reducing to ashes. This wasnt an instant kill, but appeared even more terrifying than an instant kill in the demons eyes. Although the two Fiend Commander brothers uniting hands werent at the level of a true powerhouse of the ninth step, their full-power attack already reached this level. Yet they died like that, without any way to hit back, and unable to even struggle against the opponent. Han Yu, who was originally prepared to make his move, floated at Long Haochens side with a nk face,pletely speechless for a moment. _Is that the true might of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon?_ Originally, when Long Haochen obtained this shield from the Starlight Divine Beast, Han Yu was also at his side, and therefore understood the origin of this item well. But did this bright seven-colored light reallye out from a piece of epic equipment? The epic tier really is too strong! The bright seven-colored light finally disappeared, and all that was left was Long Haochen and Han Yu, as well as the magical crystals from the two Fiends of the eighth step. A strange silence followed, spreading to the whole battlefield. It didnt persist for too long, and about ten secondster, loud cheers broke out on the side of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. They had personally witnessed a miracle, the power of their own powerhouses. Could anyone else than a Divine Knight be stronger than this Gold Essence Foundation Knight? The Knight Temple is invincible! In the midst of these cheers, every knight seemed to have gained in vigor, frantically charging against the Demonic Knights and Demonic Bears. The Airborne Knight Regiment also rallied, taking the initiative to attack the aerial enemies. Without a doubt, the drive of the Knight Temple had risen to its peak. As theirmander, how could Long Tianying let such a good opportunity go by? He immediately gave the order tounch the counterattack. All of the ninth-step powerhouses from the Knight Temple rose to the sky, cing an insurmountable pressure on the enemies that they slowly approached. Retreat. Saminaga gave this order with a cold look, lifting up his right hand. An intense glow spread out from the eight demon gods, and their eight demon god pirs started to glint, enveloping the demon armies in their range, in order to bring them back to their camps. Boss, whats happening? Han Yu asked Long Haochen in a low voice. Long Haochen shook his head with a bitter smile, I dont know either. It seems that the red skull we encountered previously infuriated the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, which led to this. It acted totally by itself. Theres no way I could have such a powerful ability at my disposal! Luckily, I had the Gold Essence Foundation Armor, since that move used over 50,000 of my spiritual energy. Yet, I felt that the bright seven-colored light from before had yet to disy its true might, as if restricted somehow. Han Yu became silent. _If it is so powerful when restricted, I dont dare imagine what could be its true power._ Long Haochen didnt know, and Han Yu didnt either. But on the other side, the Demon God of Death Saminaga gave an answer. A divine tool. The Knight Temple actually had such a divine tool in reserve. The same answer came to Long Tianyings mind. _That shield must be a divine tool. When did Haochen get such a shield?_ In fact, the Divine Thrones were the Knight Temples divine artifacts, yet even amongst them, there never appeared a divine tool ranked shield! And this shield was not as simple as a defensive-only item. Just what could that bright seven-colored light from before be? Even Long Tianying and Saminaga didnt have the confidence that they could remain unscathed in that light. Divine tools have always been the most unpredictable weapons. Thats because the power of a divine tool is like a part of a gods power. Different divine tools would absolutely bepletely different. And amongst divine tools, the most feared kind is those that can unleash an absolute power. And who knew what ability Long Haochens shield could have? With the disappearance of the bright seven-colored light, Long Haochen and Han Yus spiritual energy returned to a liquid state. The process of this transformation was slow. In fact, if they wanted to use Spiritual Hignd in battle, they could at least keep their spiritual energy in this state for ten minutes. The spiritual energy belonging to Long Haochen that changed into this form didnt include the parting from the Gold Essence Foundation Armor. This feature seemed like the amplification of ability that Star King gives him, while being not totally the same. Thats because having the spiritual energy in ones body be in Spiritual Hignd state makes it a lot easier to control, and inevitably a lot more powerful. Thats the true meaning of reaching the ninth step for a powerhouse. With this times transformation, Long Haochen and Han Yu gained inprehension regarding Spiritual Hignd. Long Haochen didnt release his spiritual wings. Getting hold of Han Yus shoulder with his right hand, Haochen borrowed his help to return to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Once back, Han Yu turned back to look at Long Haochen, face to face. The two of them had astonished expressions. Although their first battle back together took only an instant to finish, they still eventually got to fight together! This was already sufficient. Captain, I already heard the news. The Temple Head decided to have us gather ten million contribution points before letting our team re-form. , Long Haochen nodded to him with a smile on his face, Yeah! We will slowly gather these ten million points. In a year, at most two, as long as this Holy War goes on, we can certainly obtain them. Certainly! Right, Captain, I have things for you from Lin Xin. And, I have gotten news from everyone. Hearing hisst sentence, Long Haochen immediately looked interested, Is everyone well? Han Yu nodded with a smile on his face, Our 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad is divided, but we wont die so easily. Now, everyone is actively participating in the Holy War with their own temples. From what I heard, Yuanyuan has already amassed enough contributions to be a regimentalmander. And Sima is about the same. Only Caier seems to not be participating actively, training secretly in the Assassin Temple instead. Hearing from Han Yu about the others safety, Long Haochen rxed enormously. This was what he most wanted to know. This piece of news gave him an increased confidence and motivation toplete that mission of gathering ten million contribution points. The most important is that everyone is safe and sound. Han Yu continued, Captain, after we are back, I will hand you the pills Lin Xin prepared. It includes Forest Boa Training Pills and other kinds of medicine. Long Haochen shook his head with a smiling expression, I have no need for these, just keep it for your own. Forest Boa Training Pills are certainly good things, but my external spiritual energy is already at a bottleneck. If I cannot increase my internal spiritual energy further, my external spiritual energy wont be able to keep progressing. The period of deep meditation brought Long Haochen much understanding. His external spiritual energy was indeed much more powerful than the others, mainly because of his constitution as a gods chosen one and the benefits brought by Haoyue. Forest Boa Training Pills were appreciably potent, but wouldnt be able topare with the amplification brought by Haoyue. Moreover, Long Haochen didnt want to keep relying on pills to progress. Coordinating the progress of his internal and his external spiritual energy was his current priority. In other words, he was unwilling to produce too huge a gap between them. Besides, now that he reached the eighth step, the priority became to train his internal spiritual energy, which would automatically get cleansed through his spiritual cavities. Long Haochen didnt have any need to worry about his spiritual energys impurities affecting his body, and just needed to continuously cultivate. Under these circumstances, pills would indeed not be of much use to him. His current priorities were set in training and in amassing points. Han Yu didnt insist. This ce being the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, he had to wait for when they return to persuade him. The demon armies having retreated like a tide, only corpses from their deceased remained, as they escaped through the gap created by the demon gods. This battle went for about two hours, and therefore,rge quantities of corpses were left on the battlefield. On the side of the Knight Temple, the order to clean the battlefield was immediately given. It wasnt about burying the corpses, but bringing as many as possible back to their base in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. The corpses in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass were mainly demons. After bringing them back, their magical crystals will be extracted, and then the useable parts will be kept, and the useless ones burnt. This was inevitable. If the demons had a sufficient advantage, they would be the ones to bring these corpses back, but only to use them as food. As long as they retained a sufficient food supply, their races with good resistance to cold would be able to continue fighting. Although their numbers kept going down, the Knight Temples losses were also astonishing! Letting these losses continue would only mean a diminishment of the Six Great Temples future. Chapter 506 - Divine Thrones, Supra Divine Tools (III)

Chapter 506: Divine Thrones, Supra Divine Tools (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # The hatred between their races went beyond repairability. A great part of it is due to the difference in culture, customs and knowledge. Humans would never be able to use their own kins corpses as food, let alone making it their main source of food. And in fact, one could say that, in times of insufficient food sources, the demons motive forunching attacks wasnt to attack the enemies, but to make food for their side. In this war, a human victory was not only based on the damage to the demons forces, but also on the severance from their food supply. But of course, for this reason, the next demon attack was bound to follow in a short time. The importance of a victorious battle was unquestionable. Having always been suppressed by the demons, they were only able to cling to their Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass for a year and a half. The arrival of a victorious battle was enough to fill every knight with excitement and acmation, and restore their vigor. A vigorous soldier will always be much stronger than a soldier without vigor. And the greatest contributor to this victorious battle, Long Haochen, was called by the Knight Temple after returning. Standing perfectly straight in front of Yang Haohan and Long Tianying, Long Haochens expression was tranquil. Currently, he was not d in his armor, and Han Yu was also beside him. However, in contrast to the calm Long Haochen, Han Yu appeared quite anxious, because the two Divine Knights didnt look so pleased. Long Haochen, do you understand your status? Long Tianying asked with a heavy tone. Long Haochen replied immediately, I am one of the Gold Essence Foundation Knights of the Knight Temple, ranked as Saint Knight. Long Tianying, And what else? After a short time of surprise, Long Haochen replied, I am also the captain of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunter Squad. Stop mentioning your Demon Hunt Squad. In your current state, how could we be at ease letting you reform your squad? Have you already forgotten about our three agreements? This time, even Yang Haohan was totally furious. Long Haochen gave a puzzled look to these two elders bearing the title of Divine Knights, Grandpa Yang, I dont know what error I made! Yang Haohan broke out in anger, You still dont know? You are currently not only a Saint Knight, but also a soldier of the Temple Alliance. Do you think I made you look for a mount of your own to directly join the battle? I wish for you to stay low-key in the battlefield, yet as soon as you arrived, you immediately made yourself known to all the demons. Now how will you guarantee that you wont be attacked on all sides, recognized by all demons? Equipment can be changed, but what about abilities? And moreover, your divine-tool-ranked shield didnte from us. It is part of your personal abilities. Using it in front of so many demons, arent you just giving out your own identity? Why are you taking the path I was the least hopeful to see? Without waiting for Long Haochens response, Long Tianying kept scolding him, As a soldier, your duty is to obey orders. Even if you want to participate in the battle, aftering back, you should be reporting to me, and join the battle under mymand. And what did you do instead? You risked yourself to directly join the battle, and even exposed your strength. Do you know what this divine tool means? It means that we are giving them more pressure. And the greater the pressure is, the greater the counterattack will be. Have you ever heard of someone else showing his divine-tool-ranked weapon in the battlefield easily? Anyone would do his utmost to keep his divine tool hidden, only using such equipment in times of life or death, to strike a fatal blow at the enemy. Long Haochen replied, Temple Heads, I am sorry. I didnt know that you would misunderstand like that. Would you mind listening to my exnation? Long Tianying seemed to want to keep reprimanding him, but was stopped by Yang Haohan, who nodded to him, Alright, speak. I am giving you a chance to exin yourself. However, if your exnation doesnt convince us, you are going back to seclusion, and wont be allowed to join the Holy War again. Long Haochens expression changed drastically. This left him worried. If he isnt allowed to join the war, doesnt it make the reunion of his Demon Hunt Squad unimaginably distant? Temple Heads, this is how things are... Actually, what happened was mostly by coincidence, and it shouldnt enable them to recognize my identity. The demons have never encountered that shield I was using. We got it after ying the Snake Demon God Andromalius, finding it in a cave located in the Swamps of Gloom. Today is the first day I have shown it on the battlefield. And it wasnt a divine tool, just an epic-tier shield as far as I knew! Grandpa, you have seen this shield before, its the one I was using at the time of your test. After Yang Haohan and Long Tianying heard that, their tension was finally eased. The fact the demons had never encountered this shield before makes the situation a lot better. As long as Long Haochens identity wasnt found out, they didnt mind the rest that much. Long Haochen continued, Its like this... Immediately, he narrated the conversation he had with the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon in the cave, as well as the whole course of events that led to his acquisition of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, without hiding anything. After Long Haochen exined the parts about the Starlight Divine Beasts and the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, these two Divine Knights couldnt help but show an amazed expression. It was the first time they had heard such a story, the information brought by Long Haochen was indeed astonishing. When Long Haochen spoke of the circumstances of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, he naturally spoke about Tower of Eternity as well. Given that it touched upon necromancers, it was a very sensitive topic. He had wanted to keep this secret, but ever since hearing about the past of the Slumbering Cmity Elux, he had never returned to the Tower of Eternity. It could be seen as him avoiding it. He didnt wish to obtain any more abilities from this human sinner. The Slumbering Cmity Elux caused the immense cmity that befell humanity. As another Scion of Light, Long Haochen felt extreme sorrow regarding what Elux had done. If not for this catastrophe, how could humanity have been reduced to such a passive state for the whole six thousand years of the dark era? ...Defense of Sun and Moon, borrowing strength from the owners heart. Guided by the Light, Blessed by the Gods, bringing a new dawn, the divine snail shall act as a shield. These were thest words the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon told me. And I dont understand how the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon created that seven-colored bright light. I could only feel that this light was boosting me, and then, these Fiend Commanders died inside it. Yang Haohan and Long Tianying looked at each other, eximing loudly, What a gifted person you are! Youngster, you are really incredibly gifted. The birth of the Scion of Light was indeed a gift from Heaven, in hopes that we would not be crushed by demons. So you have to treasure yourself! We need you to lead us to drive out the demons, and let Earth recover its glory. From what you are saying, the previous phenomenon was idental. But the fact you joined the battle by your own initiative is a mistake. Do you admit it? Long Haochen nodded with haste, I admit my mistake. Grandpas, please dont make me leave the battlefield. I have already abstained from joining for a year and a half. I really hope to be of use to our Knight Temple. I will unconditionally listen to any of your future assignments, andply to Grandpa Yangs three rules, to do my utmost to avoid getting found out by them. Seeing him be so nervous, Yang Haohan couldnt help but smile, Okay, okay. Then I am giving you another chance. Dont forget about what you just said. If you take such premature risks again, dont me your Grandpa Yang for having you return to seclusion. Yes, I will obey. Long Haochen immediately beat his chest with his right arm, performing a standard knight salute. If it was up to Yang Haohan, he would really rather conceal Long Haochen, and wait for him to reach the ninth step before joining battles. But he also knew that this wouldnt benefit Long Haochens growth. The Scion of Light would need continuous experiences, rather than to be raised in a greenhouse. If he is kept in a safe environment to train from beginning to end, perhaps his cultivation will increase, but his overall strength will certainly be lower. After reaching the ninth step, the enemies will only get stronger, and there wont be opportunities to let him get stronger by practice. Therefore, he didnt stop him. Long Tianying spoke next, Haochen, I can tell you with certainty that this shield is a divine tool. At that time, it was the Blood Grudge skill that is exclusive to the Demon God of Death that stimted it. The power of this bright light isnt something a piece of equipment of epic tier could reach. And furthermore, there is no equipment of that tier that could use up fifty thousand units of spiritual energy for a single use. Tell me more precisely about the feelings you had at this time. I will help you find a way to bring out the power of this divine tool. If you are able to use it appropriately, youll have another trump card to defend yourself. Long Haochen nodded, The feelings I had at that time were strange. It was as if a special power had been released by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. At that time, my body and Han Yus were frozen for a short time, and the same went for the enemies. It seemed that in the area of the seven-colored bright light, time stops. Then, when I saw how much damage the enemies received, I realized that my spiritual energy had entered the state of Spiritual Hignd.. I could faintly sense that something was missing in that seven-colored bright light. It seemed to be too concentrated, and to be missing the gentleness that the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon originally had. I also dont know how this happened, and the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon didnt tell me that the shield originating from him would produce such a phenomenon. ording to his words, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon shouldnt be able to attack, and should be purely defensive.

Chapter 507: Divine Thrones, Supra-Divine Tools (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # Long Tianying replied, So, you are saying that the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon should actually notprehend fully the power of this shield originating from him? And based on your story, he didnt disappear from this world by his own choice, but became a shield for the Scion of Light to use. Maybe this was a sort of variation. Did you try using the incantation that he gave you? It seemed to contain some mysteries. Long Haochen nodded and replied, I have tried, and dont believe that this was an incantation. It seems to be a description and nothing more. When I tried reciting it, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon showed no response. _Defense of Sun_ _and Moon, borrowing strength from the owners heart. Guided by the Light, Blessed by the Gods, bringing a new dawn, the divine snail shall act as a shield_ _._ As its name stands, the Divine Snail Shield needs a source of light, and will use it to produce a divine blessing to protect me, through this shield shape. As for what it meant by bringing a new dawn, I would guess that this refers to the time of transition between the sun and the moon. And I found out that upon reaching this time, I lose the ability to use the Divine Snail Shield. I dont have an exnation for this phenomenon, but it has been like that since I obtained it. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon may have left me thesest words to warn me not to use it during this span of time. Yang Haohan murmured, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, Sun and Moon Crossing What you said must be incorrect. Since it holds the name of Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, how could it stop working just at the times the sun and moon are crossing? This goes against the fact that a divine beast such as the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon is blessed by the Goddess of Light. Rather, it should be able to absorb the most energy from the Earth at the times sun and moon are crossing. Both the sun and moon should have an amplifying effect on it. How could the crossing of the two cause it to lose all power? Plus, I have never heard of a divine tool or piece of epic equipment that would lose its powers at fixed times. Long Haochen also entered into deep thought. Yang Haohans words had some effect on his thinking, but the actual facts were that every time this point was reached, the shield would lose its power! Just how could this be exined? Standing on the side, Han Yu suddenly jumped into the conversation, Temple Heads, Captain, how about changing our train of thought? What if we took the opposite direction from Captains guess? The opposite direction? Long Haochen looked at Han Yu in awe. Han Yu nodded, Yes! From what Grandpa Yang said, the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon bears in its name the nouns sun and moon because it can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Then, if the time the sun and moon are crossing isnt the time it is at its weakest, it might just be when it is the strongest! But if it is its strongest time, how is it that I cannot sense its existence... Reaching this point of thought, Long Haochens eyes suddenly lit up, deducing a lot of things from a single hint, as if he had suddenly caught on to the crucial part, Oh! If the time the sun and moon are crossing is its time of peak power, then it is possible that it stops working properly at that time because I am unable to entirely control it. In other words, its not that I lost the ability to use it, but that my strength was insufficient to grasp its true power. And that would be when the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon is its true self. This exnation makes the divine snailsst words rational. Long Tianying nodded, It makes sense. It is very likely so. Only, just how much spiritual energy does this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon need to be triggered? I can give you a little hint by telling you that activating a Divine Throne also requires a huge amount of spiritual energy. The basic cost is 100,000 spiritual energy, and every Divine Throne can be used for a quarter of an hour. After this time passes, spiritual energy will be consumed persistently. And of course, given our cultivation, we can keep absorbing the light essence in the air indefinitely to replenish our storage, making it possible for us to maintain a state of battle for a longer period of time. Long Haochens eyes gradually lit up, I understand I understand! Shouting loudly and in a very excited voice, he held the nearby Han Yu in his arms, Thank you, Han Yu. I finally understand what the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon is all about. Han Yu looked back at him, full of surprise. Although his supposition was quite likely, he hadnt actually figured out any exnations. He only shared his thoughts, and didnt expect to be of such great use to Long Haochen. Tell us, what is it all about? We may be able to help you find a way. Yang Haohan dered spiritedly. Long Haochen nodded, Supposing that what we just said was correct, when the sun and moon are crossing, it should be a true divine tool, and a considerably powerful one. And in itself, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon is a divine-tool-ranked being, but it can only manifest itself as being at the epic tier because the users basic cultivation is insufficient to let it disy its true might. So at my current level of cultivation, I can only borrow its power for defense. Which is to say, this shield can adapt itself to its owners strength. In other words, had I obtained it with my cultivation being even lower, maybe it would have turned out to be Legendary Equipment instead of Epic Equipment. Yang Haohan, Long Tianying and Han Yu all nodded, Long Haochens analysis appearing to make sense. Long Haochen continued, Since things are this way, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon having a Starlight Divine Beast as a foundation, should be a divine tool, and not a piece of equipment of epic tier. As my strength rises, it should gradually be able to disy its real might as such. Before that seven-colored light appeared, I had the feeling that something was going wrong, as if it was overly fierce,cking the original gentleness of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. Its very possible that because it was daytime, that it could only borrow power from the sun, which turned out as you well know. On the other hand, if it was at night, its power after transforming into a divine tool should be gentle and reserved. So as a conclusion, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon should be an aggressive divine tool at daytime, and a gentle divine tool at nighttime. Han Yu couldnt help but ask, Then, if it is already at daytime and nighttime a divine tool, how about the time between? Long Haochen took a deep breath, gazing at the other three, and spoke these words one after another, Supra-divine tool. Hearing the phrase supra-divine tool, Long Tianying, Yang Haohan and Han Yu stood agape. Just like Long Haochen, Han Yu first encountered the concept of supra-divine tool just now when discussing the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, but this wasnt the case for the two Divine Knights, who looked at each other face to face, filled with total shock. A supra-divine tool!? So in these specific situations, theres a high chance that it would have the might of a supra-divine tool? Yang Haohans voice was still shivering. He obviously understood the meaning of a supra-divine tool, and much better than Long Haochen. Long Haochen cut in, Grandpa Yang, I am just guessing. I dont know whether it will really turn out that way. And even if it does, let alone me, even you grandpas may not necessarily be able to activate a supra-divine tool. After all, the stronger a divine tool is, the more considerable its requirements of spiritual energy will be. Long Tianying took a deep breath, Haochen, do you understand what a supra-divine tool represents? Its powerful, able to reverse Heaven and Earth, matching, no, surpassing an average forbidden spell. Long Tianying replied, Your words are too broad. Let me exin it to you. You should know that our Knight Temple has six Divine Thrones. Which one of the six do you think is the most powerful? Long Haochen shook his head, I dont have a proper understanding of the six Divine Thrones yet. Back then, Father told me that I should wait for my cultivation to be sufficient to learn about them. Long Tianying replied, Your father is right. It wont make a difference to learn about them after bing strong enough. But what I want to tell you is that Divine Thrones also have a ranking. For instance, Old Yangs Divine Throne is quite a lot more powerful than mine. And your fathers Divine Throne surpasses ours in the battle aspect. Youve personally seen the power of Divine Thrones. And do you have a guess of how high Saminagas cultivation is? Long Haochen shook his head. Based on our hypothesis, the Demon God Emperor has very possibly broken past a million spiritual energy, like he said. And after the Demon God Emperor follow the Moon Demon God Agares, the Star Demon God Vassago, then the Demon God of Death Saminaga, and the Hell Demon God Marbas. And among all seventy-two demon gods, the only ones that can really be discussed with the Demon God Emperor in times of major events are these four. In terms of strength, Agares is undoubtedly the greatest, and Im afraid that his spiritual energy has already broken past 600,000. That is to say, without considering the difference of equipment, even Agares would be an unsurpassable existence to us. There has never appeared a powerhouse surpassing the 400,000 spiritual energy in our Temple Alliance, yet just below Agares, Vassagos internal spiritual energy is at least at 500,000. But because most of his energy is focused on making prophecies, his actual fighting strength is not that great. Its just that his prophetic ability that is very frightening. Saminaga and Marbas should be about the same in cultivation, but because the Fiends are above the Hell Demons, Saminagas ranking is above thetter. They are both above 400,000 spiritual energy, but the top internal spiritual energy of the Alliance is only 210,000. Chapter 508 - Divine Throne, Ultra-divine Tool (III)

Chapter 508: Divine Throne, Ultra-divine Tool (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Although Saminagas demon god pir is also a divine tool, demon pirs are not the same as our divine tools. They are mostly used to avoid the death of demon gods; while greatly increasing durability, their other amplifying effects cannotpare to our divine tools. Thus, by relying on the Divine Throne of Order and Law, I can make up for the difference of over 200,000 spiritual energy separating me from Saminaga. In terms of strength, he is still above me, but if we fight to the death, it will only result in a stalemate. This is the might of a divine tool. Long Tianying said this much to prove to Long Haochen the importance of a divine tool. And if a divine tool was capable of this much, theres nothing to be said about the role of a supra-divine tool. After you grow, you will be sure to be the sessor of our Knight Temple, so there is no issue with me telling you this. Among the Six Great Divine Thrones of our Knight Temple, there exists one that no one has ever obtained. And this Divine Throne is, based on our ancestors guesses, an ultra divine tool. Long Haochen and Han Yu had chills, the looks on their faces bing ardent. Indeed, they hadnt thought that an ultra divine tool would be in the hands of the Knight Temple. Yang Haohan borated on Long Tianyings words, A long time ago, the arrival of the demon race brought destruction to all human nations, and could decimate us at any time. In this period of crisis, humans became unprecedentedly united, and established the Six Great Temples. Under the lead of all the powerhouses, we barely preserved our current territory, relying on natural strongholds to defend ourst homnd. But at the current point, demons were still not firmly established, and not done adjusting. If we waited for them to be familiar with the continent and organize their new recruits born from epidemic, the destruction of humanity was bound to be inevitable. At that time, a meteor fell from the sky, falling in the territory of our Knight Temple, and an immense throne appeared from it. Only one? Long Haochen asked in surprise. Yang Haohan nodded, Thats right, only one. This immense throne looked elegant, and emitted a really powerful holy aura, letting out a supreme might. It was originally wrapped in the gigantic meteorite, and appeared after thetter was smashed to pieces. That meteorite was made of many kinds of metals and gems. Our ancestors gathered all the craftsmen, alchemists and powerhouses in the whole Alliance. Using that fallen Divine Throne as a model and its might as a guide, they constructed five Divine Thrones, which are: The Divine Throne of Terror and Sadness; The Divine Throne of Doom and ughter; The Divine Throne of Defense and Mercy; The Divine Throne of Widsom and Spirit; The Divine Throne of Order and Law. This was the first time Long Haochen and Han Yu heard the full name of those five Divine Thrones, and this only served to increase their curiosity towards the ultra divine tool that served as a blueprint to make all of these. Long Haochen asked, Then, when making these five Divine Thrones, how did they know about the might of the Divine Throne that came out from that fallen meteorite? Without knowing of its precise power, what data did they use? Yang Haohan replied, Based on the old records, this is how it went. After the meteorite shattered, it formed five masses, each of which were formed of metal and gems. It seemed that they had great attractive force towards each other. Thats the source of these five divine thrones, as for their power... Reaching this point, his eyes seemed to reveal a look of yearning. At the time that original throne appeared, it activated once. What? Long Haochen and Han Yu couldnt help but cry out in rm. So that ultra Divine Throne activated once? But didnt you say that there has never been a human that managed to use or to control this ultra divine tool? Yang Haohan nodded, Indeed, no one has ever been able to master it: it released its great power on its own. And after that event, it entirely lost its original splendor, and has been remaining dormant in our Knight Temple for 6,000 years. At that time, the demons were invading us thoroughly. After a short time of adjustment, the demons didnt send their armies to attack us, but instead, it was the seventy-two demon gods that came personally to attack the Alliance, under the lead of the first Demon God Emperor. We were barely able to contain the demon armies, but not the union of the seventy-two demon gods! Everywhere they passed, disaster followed, and a great number of powerhouses from the Alliance died in their hands. At the time they were about to attack the headquarters of the Alliance, they were confronted by the original Divine Throne. Over fifty-two of the seventy-two demon gods were left, while the deceased ones were waiting to be resurrected in their respective pirs. For this assault, the demons didnt bring their own pirs. At that time, our ancestors thought humanity to be doomed. The overwhelming majority of their powerhouses were deceased in battle, and the remaining ones were scarce. And furthermore, they were scattered throughout the Alliance, and unable to make it in time to rescue the headquarters. At that time, the five Divine Thrones were still in the nning stage, and almost all artisans and cksmiths were gathered around that Divine Throne. Let alone the Alliances defense being broken through, just the loss of these people at the hands of the seventy-two demon gods would be enough to be considered a fatal blow for the Alliance. At that time, these artisans and cksmiths witnessed a miracle among miracles. Fifty-two demon gods were attacking the interior of our headquarters, when they saw this original Divine Throne. Of course, they sensed the great power from it, and immediately acted against the original Divine Throne, prepared to take it away. But right at this time, the power of the original divine throne erupted. Stimted by some force, it suddenly broke out with an iparably resplendent light. In the sky, clouds of nine colors descended, and then, the original throne suddenly separated, taking the shape of an armor and a divine sword lit in nine colors. That armor seemed to be alive, grasping the divine sword tounch attacks at the demons. Its attacks were very simple, and their trajectory drew the shape of ten characters in the sky, each of which didnt belong to this worldsnguage. In front of that, only eighteen of the fifty-two demon gods managed to leave alive. But the first generation Demon God Emperor was heavily wounded, ruining the drive of the demons. At this point, both Yang Haohan and Long Tianyings faces were unusually flushed. Their breathing became hasty, and they were totally unable to control their feelings of pride and excitement. Long Haochen and Han Yu felt their blood boiling. The original divine throne, relying on the nine-colored lit sword, drew the shape of ten characters and actually got rid of thirty-four demon gods, wounding the Demon God Emperor heavily. What kind of power was that!? This could be nothing else but the strength of a god! Long Haochen asked with a shocked voice, Were our ancestors able to distinguish those characters? Yang Haohan shook his head, They were unable to distinguish them. As I said, it is not anguage from this world. But they came to understand their meaning, because at the time they appeared, they seemed to have left a response in every spectators mind. And these words were: The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation Long Haochen and Han Yu were shocking due to excitement, their fists clenched very tightly. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Long Haochen repeated these shocking words, unable to control his feelings for a moment. Yang Haohan took a deep breath, Precisely because those artisans and cksmiths witnessed the power of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, they came to understand what a Divine Throne is. From this, they worked hard, going through three generations to finally make the other five Divine Thrones. When the Divine Thrones were done being made, every Temple was originally supposed to be bestowed one, but afterwards, it was found out that the Divine Thrones were all of light attribute. And, it seemed that they would only approve knights as their partners. Therefore, after several hundred years experience, the six Divine Thrones were finally left in our Knight Temple. After saying this, Yang Haohan had a sincere feeling of pride. Right, over these past 6,000 years, this was the greatest pride of the Knight Temple. And one could say that the reason why the Knight Temple was able to remain the head of the Six Great Temples at most times, clearlyy with these six Divine Thrones. Seeing how Long Haochen and Han Yu appeared excited beyond control, Yang Haohan remarked, Now, you should understand the terrifying aspect of an ultra divine tool right? If this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon can really disy the might of a supra-divine tool, it may really be an asset in resisting against the Demon God Emperor and the top five demon gods strength. Yang Haohan took a deep breath, looking at Long Haochen very seriously, Haochen, what I hope for the most is that one day, I will be able to see you gain the acknowledgement of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. If you seed, we humans will have the hope to thoroughly destroy demons, and regain control of the continent. You are the Scion of Light, and have already attained your state of gods chosen one. So you are now our greatest hope. If even with such gifts, you still cannot obtain acknowledgement from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Im afraid that this Divine Throne will nevere out in the real world. Chapter 509 - Provisional Saint Knight Head (I)

Chapter 509: Provisional Saint Knight Head (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Dont be discontented by the restrictions the Alliance put on you. Thats because way too many hopes were ced on you. Your astonishing speed of growth is already giving us real hopes of sess. If you manage to grow, even the Demon God Emperor will not necessarily be your match! With two supra-divine tools, even the Demon God Emperor may indeed sumb to him. Long Haochen nodded silently, Grandpa Yang, I have never med the Alliance in my life. I know that everyone is doing all they can for me. Dont worry, I will definitely pay attention to my own safety and do my best to avoid taking risks. Yang Haohan smiled at his reply, Thats all for the best then. No matter what we may say, although you vited orders today, your performance enabled us to obtain a great victory. This battle let us weaken the enemy forces, making our Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass gain in stability. Old Long, how about from now on these two participate in the. meetings of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass? Since we are training sessors, theres no harm in increasing our pace a bit. Long Tianying acquiesced; Maybe. I will convene a military meeting right now. You two cane along. Yang Haohan remarked, Old Long, the news about this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon of Haochens was very sudden. I am going back to the Alliance for a trip. Since the Holy War has reached this stage, we have to think over the future. I am going to assemble the Six Great Temples for a meeting, so I am leaving the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to you for the moment. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan having worked together so many years, he immediately understood the meaning hidden behind his words, and nodded with no hesitation, Be at ease with me here. In any case, if ites to the worst, then we can just... At this moment, he stopped in the middle of his sentence. The two Divine Knights then exchanged nces, their eyes bitingly cold. Long Haochen and Han Yu had a start. Although Long Tianying didnt say it clearly, it could be understood from his words that the Knight Temple seemed to actually have other trump cards, that would even be able to resist against the eight demon gods leading the armies. These six thousand years of preparations were indeed not for nothing. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan had a simple conversation, before taking Long Haochen and Han Yu straight into the conference room of the Knight Temple. The Dragon Resisting Mountain didnt have a separate military force. Its defense was entirely under the control of the Knight Temple; and as a Divine Knight, Long Tianying was considered chief of the military. When Long Xingyu was still present, Long Tianying had been nning on passing this role onto him. The problem was that the rtionship between father and son was not so good, and Xingyu had his own ns. So after a certain period of time, he returned the supreme authority to control the Knight Temples military to his father, and went to seek after an even greater power. At the current time, the conference room could be described as absolutely dazzling. At the time Long Haochen and Han Yu followed Long Tianying to enter the conference room, they saw at least twenty Gold Essence Foundation Knights, with some of them being very high ranked officers d in legendary tier armor. Long Tianyings authority in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was unquestionable. As soon as he entered, all the knights present stood, cing their right fists on their chest, producing a resonant metallic sound. Long Tianying took Long Haochen and Han Yu to the main seat, where he signalled the high ranked officer to sit down, before sitting down as well. Naturally, Long Haochen and Han Yu didnt have seats of their own, and stood behind Long Tianying. Yet Long Haochen actually became the focal point of everyone present. Gold Essence Foundation Knights were all well known figures among Saint Knights, and were therefore quite familiar with each other. Behind every Gold Essence Foundation Armorwas a powerful, well-known Saint Knight. As a neer, Long Haochen was clearly not familiar to these veterans, but in the previous battle, he could be said to be the most dazzling. The shock from that seven-colored light, which got rid of two famous Fiend Commanders, created a peak of morale for all the knights present, so he remained deeply in the memories of these high-ced knights. Therefore, although they didnt know who this newly promoted Gold Essence Foundation Knight was, their looks were full of goodwill towards him. Seeing everyone present sitting down, Long Tianying dered, Today, we acquired an unexpected victory, as we repelled for another time the demon attacks. I can see in each of you the glory of a knight. Let me introduce these two at my back to everyone. This is Han Yu. I believe that you have seen him before, hes one of your juniors, and the only grandson of the Saint Knight Han Qian who is currently taking care of a lot of affairs while keeping watch on the Alliance. After discussing this with the Alliance Head, we decided that from today onwards he will also be qualified to join all the military conferences taking ce in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as a visitor. The group of knights remained silent, and only nodded in response. To say nothing of his identity as the only grandson of Han Qian, his performance in the Holy War was enough to gain approval from these high-ced officers: killing the enemy without fear, giving appropriate orders to his subordinates,and before he turned thirty, he had already be a Temple Knight of the seventh step. With these feats, obtaining special treatment from the Temple was nothing surprising. Everyone here could see that Long Tianying was putting effort into cultivating Han Yu to serve as a major character among the future generation. Given his outstanding performance, he would very possibly be a Divine Knight in the near future. Han Yu took a step forward, bowing with a standard knight salute, before returning behind Long Tianying. Long Tianying shifted his gaze on Long Haochen, This one is a newly promoted Gold Essence Foundation Knight. On him is the 12th Gold Essence Foundation Armor. I believe that everyone saw his performance in the battlefield. For the moment, I cannot give a more detailed introduction of him to everyone. You can call him Twelfth Golden Knight. Including that shield that you all saw in the battlefield, his strength was entirely acquired through his own ability, without support from the Alliance. I announce hereby that he will be temporarily acting as a Saint Knight Head,manding all the Mythril Foundation Knights. With this mere deration,ments immediately overflowed, shocking even the person concerned. How could he know that his grandfather would actually bestow on him such an important task? A Saint Knight Head? In the Knight Temple, this position is the highest below only the few Divine Knights and Saint Knight Elders. Sitting below, an elder made ament, Head, isnt this choice kind of sloppy? Besides, we are unfamiliar with this newly promoted Gold Essence Foundation Knight. This elder was one of the few people not d in full armor. He had short white hair arranged in order, a tall stature, and was d in a white robe. His eyes seemed to be glinting brightly, and, even with his mental force, Long Haochen was unable to see through his actual cultivation. The space around his body faintly seemed distorted. Long Tianying dered to the elder, Comrade, this decision was made by Alliance Head and I after deliberation. This Twelfth Golden Knight is a retired Demon Hunter, who made an extremely great contribution for the Alliance, and is totally suited for this post. The elder in the white gown looked down in approval, and became silent. From Long Tianyings appetion for him, one could see that this elder had a good position in the Knight Temple. Long Tianying turned back to the other high ranked officers, The duty of Saint Knight Head has been held by Han Qian for a long time, but over the past years, he has mostly been participating in handling the official matters for the Alliance, and unable to lead the Saint Knight Regiment to kill the enemy. I know that some of you, especially those that are Gold Essence Foundation Knights, are not convinced about the Twelfth Golden Knights ability. But the Temple would definitely not make a sloppy choice. I will merely reveal one of the aplishments he has done. If anyone here has done a greater aplishment than this, this deration will be withdrawn, and the one taking the position of Provisional Saint Knight Head will be him. Hearing this, the whole assembly became silent. As a Divine Knight, Long Tianying had an extremely high authority in the Knight Temple. And the Knight Temples military had been under hismand for a long time. So seeing him get angry, no one dared call his choice into question. Moreover, Long Tianying just said that this bestowed title was based on his contribution. Of everyone present here, who hadnt made a heroic contribution for the Knight Temple? They wanted to hear what kind of incredible contribution he did, to the extent of outstripping the whole older generation. After sweeping his gaze to everyone present, Long Tianying continued, A short time ago, Twelfth Golden Knight led his team in the depths of demon territory, and killed one of the demon gods, ranked seventy-second, Andromalius. Hearing this, he took a pause. In the meeting room, some knights already had looks of disapproval. Killing a demon god was certainly a great contribution, but the Snake Demon God Andromalius was merely rankedst. Although this was a good contribution, saying that it surpasses all the high ranked knights would feel far-fetched. Long Tianying continued, Furthermore, he destroyed the demon god pir in Andromalius possession. Which is to say that, in the future, there will never appear another Snake Demon God. _Bam!_ A bigmotion followed. Killing the Snake Demon God isnt much, but destroying a demon god pir is apletely different matter. Since the start of the dark era, a whole six thousand years had passed, yet humans had never recorded the destruction of a demon god pir. They absolutely didnt expect this feat to have been aplished by this Twelfth Golden Knight. This was the first time a demon god pir got destroyed, which carried an iparable meaning. This meant that humans finally found a way to destroy demon god pirs, and sway the demons foundation. Let alone the ones present here, even in the whole Temple Alliance, this contribution was second to none. Chapter 510 - Provisional Saint Knight Head (II)

Chapter 510: Provisional Saint Knight Head (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Every higher ranked knight present viewed Long Haochen in a new light. In addition to their curiosity, he gained their respect. Although they didnt know how Long Haochen destroyed that demon god pir, how could this be done by chance? The old man from before stood up, and beat his chest with his right fist, I, auxiliary head of the Knight Temple, Holy Knight He Jun, apologize for questioning this decision. You spread the knights glory, and deserve the title of Saint Knight Head. Long Haochen returned the politeness with haste, For the knights glory. Almost all the other knights present repeated Long Haochens sentence, For the knights glory! In terms of a contribution made for the Temple Alliance, the mere aplishment of being the first person to ever destroy a demon god pir was enough to make his honor and glory unquestionable in their eyes. He Jun nodded to Long Haochen before turning to look at Long Tianying, Head, since Twelfth Golden Knight made such a great contribution, how about getting rid of the appetion of Provisional, and add the title of Auxiliary Temple Head? What is a Holy Knight? Thats a knight of the ninth step that has just never obtained the approval from a Divine Throne. And this Holy Knight He Jun was an Auxiliary Temple Head of the Temple Alliance as well. Long Tianying shook his head, No need. His contribution for the Alliance wont be forgotten, and our Knight Temple will keep it in mind. We will speak of his future post after he gains approval from a Divine Throne. He is currently still too young, and giving him too high a post would be inappropriate. Long Tianyings deration once again shocked the entirety of the officers present. What does after he gains approval from a Divine Throne mean? It means that the master of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, Divine Knight of Control and Constraints Long Tianying, has already determined that this Twelfth Golden Knight will surely obtain a Divine Throne in the future, bing the fourth Divine Knight of the Knight Temple. This isnt merely thoughtless words. Even someone with Long Tianyings status wouldnt speak such words lightly, without an absolute confidence. Thats not even saying anything about the following part too young. How old could he be? What did he mean by too young? Just how young is that? Long Haochen didnt expect his grandfather to introduce him this way. Without exposing his identity, this raised him instantly to the top of the Knight Temple. After a short time of confusion, Long Haochen understood his grandfathers intention. Long Tianying did it for very simple reason, to build up his influence, and prepare his future. To both Long Tianying and Yang Haohan, in the future he will be bound to take up the duty of the head of the Knight Temple. But right now Long Haochen certainly didnt have an important position or influence in the Knight Temple. As it stood, even if he became a Divine Knight in the future, his approval within the Knight Temple would hardly be assured. The two Divine Knights were aiming at building his notoriety within the Knight Temple in order to have him gain the approval of more of these high ranked knights. Having him take the title of Provisionary Saint Knight Head was also for thisfor his future approbation and influence. He Jun wrinkled his brows, asking intuitively, Head, may I ask how old Twelfth Golden Knight is? Could he be even younger than Xing Yu was back then? Long Tianying replied after a short time of silence, The day he bes a Divine Knight, everyone will be aware of this truth. At the moment, it has to be kept secret. That applies to everything I just revealed. Alright, now it is time to start the meeting. From this moment onwards, Long Haochen formally became the Provisional Saint Knight Head. This meant that he gained a role to y among the higher-ups of the Knight Temple. Long Tianying designated a vacant seat for Long Haochen. This time, Long Haochen couldnt avoid that, and could only take up the seat. As if it was a matter of course, Han Yu followed him to his seat, instead of remaining behind Long Tianying. In fact, he was first and foremost Long Haochens retainer. From this, everyone became even more curious regarding Long Haochens identity. Some even started to wonder whether this person could really be the Saint Knight Head Han Qian. Otherwise, why would Han Qians grandson, a Temple Knight of the seventh step, follow him, instead of standing behind Long Tianying who just announced his qualifications to attend this meeting? The highest military council in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass started, and the high-ranking officers present had their duties clearly divided, as they summarized the statistics regarding the battlefield. This included the casualties on their own side, the estimations of the enemys casualties, and a summary of the current forces at the enemies disposal. For now, Long Haochen only acted as a listener, but he understood well why his grandfather brought him here, and therefore listened with great seriousness. Given his astonishing ability to remember, he only need to put forth a little attention to record all these statistics in his mind. In the previous battle, the Knight Temples casualties werent important. A lot were wounded, but there werent many heavily wounded or deceased. This was rted to the tactics used by the Knight Temple, because this was a war of attrition. Starting from the initial stages of the war, the Knight Temple attached a great importance to healing their own troops. The wounded soldiers would immediately be reced and get treated, to avoid unnecessary death. After all, although the Knight Temples military strength couldntpare with the demons, the Dragon Resisting natural fortress didnt need a lot of defenders. Cycling their troops of less than 20,000 men in order to minimize casualties was Long Tianyings most basic strategy, and the fact that the Knight Temple managed to persist for so long was closely rted to this. Of course, such a strategy had its perks but also its downsides. It was very detrimental to the soldiers morale, and would hardly enable them to deal a fatal strike to the enemies, keeping them in a passive situation as defenders. After listening to the summarized statistics, Long Tianying dered, Based on our investigations, the demon food has already reach its bottom line. In todays battle, they were nning on weakening our forces, as well as making some food from their own side. But they didnt expect this surprising turn of events, resulting in their retreat without obtaining any supply of food. Therefore, I estimate that after the demon side adjusts, they will very rapidlye for the next attack. So everyone has to stay on high alert to keep doing a good job in defending. Outside the mountain pass, the demon side has about twenty-three more legions, which are all considerable forces. Most of all, up to now, the three Demon Emperor Legions have still yet toe, representing a massive threat for us. Due to the pressure they are bringing, we can only apply defensive tactics. But now that we are benefitting greatly from the effect of the environmental conditions, which weaken them constantly, our battles may change to some extent, from a passive defense to abination of offense and defense. Hearing this extraordinary deration from Long Tianying, all the high officers from the Knight Temple present became excited. None of them objected; on the contrary, all of them appeared quite eager for action. This reaction was actually not surprising. The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass had been suppressed for nearly a year and a half! They had simply kept a passive position for far too long, leaving the demons to attack as they pleased, without hearing a single order of counterattack from Long Tianying. Thisst battle was, for the Knight Temple, not only a victory, but a call to the knights willpower. They were originally unable to hold back, but hearing about Long Tianyings change of stance, they naturally felt great excitement. The auxiliary head He Jun reacted first, Head, I approve abination of offense and defense, but shouldnt we also consider this at length, and avoid taking big risks? As a matter of fact, the defense of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass is the most important to us. Although the passive ns previously formted by Long Tianying didnt gain every knights approval, who would dare oppose him? Indeed, He Jun was his greatest supporter. The actual fact that they managed tost for a year and a half proved that Long Tianyings strategy was correct. Although restraining the soldiers left them sullen, the number of casualties in the Knight Temple never left the safe range, while the demon casualties kept increasing continuously. In particr, since they cut their supply of food this way, this forced the enemy to use their own corpses as food, increasing the damage even further. The nasty environment also kept weakening them with greater and greater efficiency. Long Tianying nodded, I have an idea. Let us discuss it together. At the current stage, as long as Saminaga does not mobilize the three Demon Emperor Legions, our defense wont have any issue. Even if he does, we can go all out, which will very possibly result in mutual destruction. As you said,rade, even if we attack the enemy, we will still have to put the greatest priority on defending the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. At the same time, we have to do our best to minimize our losses. Therefore, I suggest that we opt for a blitzkrieg strategy. Using the best elite knights to raid the enemy forcesretreating rapidly after each attackwe will efficiently kill the enemy, while ensuring our survival even further. This would aim at restricting the demons, while weakening their forces. He Jun nodded, I agree with your proposal. Transferringrge troops to confront the demons head on is impossible, as it would be akin to abandoning our advantage. But having small elite forces raid the demons could be very effective. Long Tianying dered, Everyone can give their own view. If you have a good idea, feel free to share it, so that we can discuss it. What followed wasnt an exchange of ideas, but an upsurge of request for participation. Almost every one of the high-ranking officers present expressed their wish to lead the elites to raid the demons, inflicting heavy damage to the enemy. The atmosphere in the whole room became extremely enthusiastic all of a sudden. The strategies and tactics were improved gradually, but the real contributors were very few. Among those were Long Haochen and Han Yu. Chapter 511 - Provisional Saint Knight Head (III)

Chapter 511: . Provisional Saint Knight Head (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # At night, the whizzing north wind could asionally be heard whimpering. In the demon camps, aside from the area around the eight brightly lit demon god pirs, everything appeared calm and monotonous. In such a cold weather, no matter how domineering the demonmanders were, the demon troops would still need to rest in their own camps. Their patrols were very few, since after all, so far they had always been the ones on the offensive. The Knight Temple was like a turtle withdrawn in its shell, nevering out of their forts, and letting out an impression of inertia. The freezing cold area around the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass reached -40C at nighttime. This bitter cold greatly affected both demons and humans. For the sake of taking care of this northern battlefield, the demons transferred almost all the thick tents they could here, so that as many of their troops could rest inside as possible. At first, it was really quite hard. Over a million elite troops having gathered here, having all of them sleep in good conditions was not easy given their level of culture. But as the Holy War went on, the casualties also increased continuously, and the demons also had to rece their troops. And now, their army could finally just barely be amodated in their camps. In each twenty-square-meters tent resided at least ten demons. That is, with the exception of the Demonic Bear who were grouped by four or five. This way they were stuck in physical contact distance with each other, but at least the benefit was that this enabled them to warm up each other. These unsophisticated camps extended over the length of five kilometers, with each tent inseparably close to each other, attempting to resist the terrible cold. The Demon God of Death Saminaga was worthy of being called one of the demons five pirs. He didnt have the advanced demons reside in the camps, but outside, letting only the rather low-leveled demons inside. Among them were the three Demon Emperor Legions, stationed in three different directions from the camps. This was obviously not only because of the advanced-level demons higher resistance to cold, but more importantly, if humans reallyunched an attack on the demon camps, the stronger ones guarding outside would have an easier time to resist. These arrangements nned by Saminaga received an unanimous support. The Demonic Bear Sahaba had recently returned to the camps with threerades. The movements of the four Demonic Bears were identical, and all four felt incredibly crowded in the narrow tents, and had their hands covering their stomachs, feeling extremely hungry. ording to their massive builds and astonishing defensive power, the imposing Demonic Bears need for food was also frightening. But they havent eaten to their fill for a few days already. The stored corpses were already nearly all used up as food, and today, they had to share a Berserk Demons leg as their only food. To them, this was far from enough! But because food was really insufficient, they had no other way. With eight great demon gods standing on guard, who would dare make a fuss? Wouldnt that be close to suicide? So at sunset, they hurried back to the camps to rest. Sahabas group was still well off. They belonged to the fourth Demon Emperor legion, and had an extremely privileged treatment within the demon army. The lower ranked demons had mostly not eaten for one or two days. Before thest battle, the demon army should have had sufficient food, but who expected Saminaga to have been left with no choice but to retreat? Very few corpses could be brought back, which was totally insufficient to replenish their food supply. And who knew when food supplies would arrive from the rear? The demon high-ranking officer all knew that at this rate, their army would die of hunger, but what could they do about an order personally issued by the Demon God Emperor? From the beginning of the War, a year and a half had passed. The demon armies lost at least a third of their troops since then, several million demons having already died. Although the damage inflicted to the humans Six Great Temple was also considerable, the demons deceased were at least five times higher than the humans. And this difference only kept increasing. The fact that the Demon God Emperors Devil Dragon n, the Moon n, and the Star n still had yet to appear in the battlefield became the greatest issue. Many demons, including even demon gods, didnt understand the reason for this. In their point of view, the mere appearance of the Demon God Emperor in the battlefield was sufficient to guarantee the destruction of any human fort! How could they know that the Demon God Emperor never had the intention to wipe out humanity, and only wanted to greatly reduce the forces they had umted for several thousand years. The four Demonic Bears were whispering together, full of hunger and devoid of energy. Moreover, given the total cold outside, even if they were able to bear the temperature, the cold would exhaust all their remaining energy, only causing them to be more hungry. Sahaba let out a low cry, So hungry! If this keeps up, I will have to kill some of them to fill my stomach. This didnt refer to the forces of the Dragon Resisting Mountain, as he had no intention tomit such a suicidal act, but their own sides forces. Another Demonic Bears eyes lit up from hearing Sahabas words, How about Berserk Demons? Their meat is juicy. Bring two of them here, it should be enough to fill us. At this rate, if we dont die from freezing, it will be from hunger. I dont want to be food for the other demons! Although demons would use corpses as food, they were very careful in one aspect. That was, a demon would avoid eating corpses of his own kin, which was only ast resort. A few Demonic Bears gained an interest. The strength of the Berserk Demons was naturally far below theirs, and their two races were iparable. The Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor was present, but the Berserk Demons didnt even have a demon god. Even if they were found out, these Demonic Bears from the Demon Emperor Legion wouldnt suffer any losses. This has always been a world where the strong prey upon the weak. Outside the tents, the bitingly cold wind could be heard whimpering. The tents were quite sturdy, although in practice they could at most resist the wind. To really withstand the cold, one could only rely on his own bodys temperature and the thickness of his own skin. Sahabas eyes glinted with a sh of evil intent, Lets go. We cannot let ourselves starve to death like that. We are noble Demonic Bears, theres nothing for us to worry about eating two Berserk Demons. Being able to use their worthless lives to help our noble lives go on is nothing but a honor for them. Hearing hisst words, the other three, mad with hunger, couldnt show any more restraint, and noiselessly came out from their tent. As soon as they came out, they couldnt help but shake from the cold. The cold wind cut through their fur, and although this was not enough to directly inflict them wounds, this was sufficient to almost freeze below the surface of their hair, and suffuse their skin with great cold. Go. Sahaba ordered, leading the other three in the direction of the Berserk Demons camps. Because they belonged to a Demon Emperor Legion, their tents were among the outermost. Demonic Bears were originally the toughest and most resistant to cold, so to go trouble some Berserk Demons, they had to head deeper inside the camp. Right at this time, Sahaba suddenly seemed to have sensed something. Do you smelling something as well? This smell seems unusual. Sahaba halted his footsteps, looking suspiciously all around him. Under the biting cold wind, outside of the camp was pitch-ck, and nothing of the surroundings was visible. One could only vaguely see some light at the distant Dragon Resisting Mountain. But because of the excessive distance, the light from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass seemed to be out of range from here. Another Demonic Bear replied, Sahaba, you must be really hungry. Could you be sensing the smell of barbecue? Uh, I am so hungry for barbecue! Hearing this, the whole bunch of Demonic Bears, including Sahaba, couldnt help but take a gulp of saliva. Right! What could beat a delicious barbecue? Just when Sahaba believed he had made a mistake due to his excessive hunger, a figure touched his back without a sound. This figure waspletely wrapped in arge cloak, as if melting into the darkness. And around his body appeared some clear twisting light, causing his bodys aura to vanish inside. A golden light shed and was sensed by Sahabas group of four at the same time as an ice-cold heat attacked them. The next instant, the four of them turned into corpses without any knowledge, as they simply fell to the ground. On each of their four skulls appeared a little bloodied hole, piercing through their brain without leaving the slightest opportunity to even make a sound orunch an attack. But the toughest part of a Demonic Bear is his skull! What monstrous strength would be needed to aplish this? There was no need at all to worry about the reeking smell of blood being diffused. In such a freezing cold, the four corpses didnt even have blood spread out, and directly turned into ice. That ck figure lightly waved his hand, and another cloaked figure silently came into view, preparing to act under the lead of the former ck-d man. The ck figure slowly removed its cloak, revealing an aged face. This was the Auxiliary Temple Head He Jun. Currently, that ck cloak concealed an armor glinting with an orange color, without a helmet on his face. A total of fifty people hade along with him. All had fluctuations around them. These fluctuations were simr to Long Haochens barrier of mental energy, enabling them to conceal their presence, and were given off by a special piece of equipment. Mental attribute category... In the whole Six Great Temples, the Knight Temple was second only to the Mage Temple in their possessions of spiritual tools, having quite a few of them. These powerhouses from the Knight Temple all had a ne of spiritual protection. Chapter 512 - Surprise Attack (I)

Chapter 512: Surprise Attack (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # The nes of spiritual protection produced bizarre waves, deflecting any psychic and mental probing, and working against abilities of this kind. Relying on it, knights could conceal their presence very efficiently. With their quite high spiritual energy, even a demon god would surely need to concentrate their mental force in their direction to possibly detect them. With a flip of his right hand, He Jun rapidly recovered the four Demonic Bears corpses in his storage device. As long as it is possible, they would do their best to deprive demons of their food sources. Looking once again at the sky, He Jun lifted up his hand, making a few gestures. The knights following him immediately showed some reaction, and noiselessly dispersed to all directions. Under the concealment of the calm night, the cold winds seemed to not affect them in the slightest. A faint chilliness shed through He Juns eyes. Flipping his hand, a fist-sized dark gold metallic ball appeared in his hands. Looking at it, his expression seemed to have be close to feverish. Lifting his head another time, he looked at the direction of the eight immense demon god pirs in the midst of the enemy camp, before hiding in the darkness. In a tent among the demon armies. Currently, Saminaga the Demon God of Death was still awake, and was gathered with the other demon gods. Among the eight of them seven came. Only the Berserk Demon God Ahnan was absent. Actually, Ahnan had vanished at the beginning of the Holy War. Only his demon god pir was left here, by order of the Demon God Emperor. Against AhNan, even the status of the Demon God of Death Saminaga was useless. AhNans individual strength was enough topete with the top five demon gods, and was at least not below Saminaga and Marbas. But he didnt have his own n, and only single-mindedly sought after strength. Who would try to catch such a solitary demon god? The only things he may listen to are the orders of the Demon God Emperor, but the other demons are at most practice targets in his eyes. The reason why this AhNan is called Berserk[a] demon god is actually simple. In times of battle, no matter whether his opponent is a demon or a human, every time he would fight until death, continuing until a victores out. Therefore, despite being a demon god as well, Saminaga was unwilling topare notes with him. Even demon gods thought AhNan to be a madman, and that it was actually better when he is absent. Using AhNans own words, his target isnt in the Dragon Resisting Mountain. Saminaga sat on the seat ofmander, nearby sat the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor. The other five were quite below them in ranking, and naturally had to sit in lower seats, watching Saminaga attentively. The Demon God of Death was in quite a bad mood. A grey aura was faintly visible on his body, and his eyes were narrowed, as if pondering over something. He had been remaining silent for quite a long time already. Fourth brother. Lets attack tomorrow. If we dont, the brothers under mymand are going to cause trouble. Thre has been a shortage of food for a few days already. It wont do if things keep going this way. The one speaking was Valefor. Under hismand were the Demonic Bears, ranked among the top of the demons in terms of strength. He was visibly speaking to Saminaga as equal. Saminaga nodded, I didnt expect such an ident to happen today. The humans morale rose to its peak, hence to keep fighting would have been unfavorable to us, so we could only withdraw. But these humans are really despicable, they actually snatched our kins corpses. We cannot avoid a battle tomorrow. The time hase to teach them a good lesson. Valefor gave out a snort, I really dont understand why His Highness wants us to make it a prolonged war. If the three Demon Emperor Legions were dispatched, maybe we would have broken through their ranks a long time ago. Would there then even be a reason for us to have such a deficit of food? Humans surely have arge amount of food in storage. Saminaga had a strict look on his face, coldly ncing at Valefor, If you are so confident, go tell these words to His Highness. Valefor immediately became speechless, shooting a fierce gaze at the five demon gods below, Treat it like I didnt say anything just now, understood? What would these five dare say? Immediately nodding, they expressed their agreement. Saminaga continued seriously, Enough. We have to discuss tomorrows operation now. As battles are going on, we are suffering more and more damage. At this rate, there wille a day that we will be the final loser. His Highness order was for us to keep using up the humans strength. For this purpose, we must show them our overwhelming superiority tomorrow. Time hase to improve the food menu for our army. It wont do to keep making them eat their own kin. This time, we must destroy the Knight Temple, or at least make them pay a very big price. Valefor was overjoyed, Fourth Brother, are you saying that we should mobilize the Demon Emperor Legions? Saminaga nodded, Just transfer two Demon Emperor Legions. We cannot mobilize all of them. Last time, when the second Demon Emperor Legion mysteriously suffered some great damage, His Highness was furious and even punished us. The Demon Emperor Legions are our foundation. We have to do our best to prevent them from sustaining damage. The Demonic Bear Valefor responded, I will being as well tomorrow. I really want to face off against Long Tianying. Lets see if his Divine Throne of Order and Law can match my power. I will be leaving the other Divine Knight to you. Saminaga shook his head, No, we cannot intervene. Once we participate in the battle, the battle will surely turn into an irreversible state. It will develop into our final victory, which His Highness forbid us. Furthermore, dont forget that almost the entirety of our forces are gathered here. Can you afford such a loss? Valefor wrinkled his brows, In any case, Ill just listen to your arrangements. Lets do it ording to your ns. Saminaga shot him a nce, a cold smile appearing on his face, _Valefor, do you think I dont know you? You make yourself sound just rude and impetuous, but deep inside, is there anyone more crafty and sinister than you?_ The Demonic Bear Demon God was ranked sixth, just one step away from the five great pirs. How could he not be eager for achievements? Hes not someone who pursues only strength such as AhNan. Among these five great demon pirs, the Demon God Emperors position was unshakable, and he understood very clearly the terrifying power of the Moon Demon God Agares. As for the Star Demon God, there was even less need to mention it. As the demon prophet, thats the most important aide of the Demon God Emperor. Whoever would dare to act against him would undoubtedly cause the fury of the Demon God Emperor and Moon Demon God Agares. Moreover, the strength of the Star Demon God is extremely terrifying: no one would dare say he could bear that Great Prophecy Technique. Among demons, there had been a legend long ago, saying that the Star Demon God is the only one that could threaten the existence of the Demon God Emperor. Outside of these three unshakable ones, the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor had only two possible targets to go up in rank. These two were the Demon God of Death Saminaga and the Hell Demon God Marbas. Dont be fooled by the scene of Valeforplying to Saminagas words. In fact Saminaga understood very clearly that this guy could at any time be a twin-edged de aiming at his back. The reason he didnt appear in the battlefield was also rted to the pressureing from the Demonic Bear, who was waiting for Saminaga to make a mistake. Therefore, Saminaga was on high guard when dealing with Valefor. The rankings of the seventy-two demon gods isnt unmovable: as long as ones strength suffices, a challenge can be issued at anytime. But of course, these challenges wont use the demon god pirs. The higher a demon gods ranking is, the more stable his position will be, and the lower the odds for him to be challenged. At least, the top ten demon gods have been the same for hundreds of years already. As Saminaga was looking at Vassago, secretly cursing at him, the seven demon gods felt a perturbation and all their eyes gathered in the same direction. Surprise attack? Vassago had a shocked look. Thats because in the previous instant, he had clearly perceived a massive and intense burst of light element from the side of the demon camp. The seven demon gods rushed out from themand tent, and looked at the direction where light element could be sensed. With just a look, dozens of glowing lights were seen rising to the sky, glistening in the night sky. Immediately, massive balls of light fell in the midst of the demon camp. Each of these balls of light reached one meter in diameter, and were heading down toward the same direction. After these dozens of balls of light flew out, several dozen golden figures soared up, shooting back to the direction of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. No good! Saminaga shouted loudly, dashing madly. Given his tyrannical cultivation, a mere instant sufficed for him to cross the whole camp. But when they came out, those balls of light were already descending. Even if Saminaga was even faster to react, he had to go through the process of detection,ing out, and making a decision. And this short time was enough for the knights to ambush the demon camp. _Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang_ The terrible sounds of a series of explosions was followed by a violent surge of golden mes. Because those balls of light were falling down towards the same direction, they all exploded almost instantly. Terrifying golden radiances instantly spread to the several dozen surrounding tents. Not only that, but one could clearly see that a series of golden radiances were actually rapidly oveying, each time amplifying the roar of the explosions. Their bright light didnt expand further, but as the sound became louder, the golden color of the light started to change. From its original brilliant gold, it gradually turned into an incandescent golden color, then into a scarlet gold. Finally, it became a dark golden color. In the process of this golden lights transformation, Saminaga already reached the nucleus of the explosion. But at this time, there was nothing he could do. Or more precisely, he didnt dare try. Chapter 513 - Surprise Attack (II)

Chapter 513: Surprise Attack (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # Saminaga didnt know what kind of thing this was, but he felt that although the pure power concentrated in each ball wasnt high, their superposition could produce a simr power to a light elemental forbidden spell. Any forbidden spell would cause irreversible effects upon exploding. Saminaga could at most resist the attack when aimed at him, but relying on his strength to stop it would require him to at least unleash an even stronger forbidden spell. Even with Saminagas strength,pleting a forbidden spell would require some time! And this being the demon camp, using yet another forbidden spell would only make the damage even more terrible. The next instant, the powerful aspect of the demon gods manifested. After Saminaga shrilled in rage, the other six Great Demon Gods immediately joined his side. Facing this terrible forbidden-spell-powered attack, these seven demon gods held seven positions, letting out brilliant rays with great intensity. In the midst of the demon camp, the seven demon gods glowed intensely. The seven immense pirs shot up,nding on each of the seven great demon gods, who all did the same movement of extending their hands forward. One could see that the light emitted from the body and the pir of Saminaga was grey colored, while from Vassagos, yellow colored light issued forth. This didnt mean that their original attribute was something other than darkness. The difference of color actually disyed their great power. Different colors meant different paths of strength. Only after breaking through the ninth step would ones spiritual energy disy its natural qualities.Skills that were performed with this energy would far surpass the ones using their originally colored spiritual energy. The seven demon gods were all surrounded by waves of spiritual energy of different colors. This proved that they were at least at the ninth step in terms of strength. With the addition of the boost provided by their demon god pirs, one may imagine the terror of their joined power. A radiance of seven different colors burst out, and produced a great effect, to the extent that one could call it terrifying. Litting up at the same time, they restricted the sting forbidden spell of light element to a certain scale, preventing it from spreading more than that. Since they couldnt block it, they decided to at least limit its scale. The damage a light elemental forbidden spell could inflict to demons was just too much of a threa. Noticeably, the bright light was already covering an area with a radius of about 200 meters, turning the demons gathered in that area into ashes. The powerhouses from the Demon Emperor Legion inside were doing their utmost to resist in the midst of miserable cries, but still crumbled one after another. Even those with powerful defenses such as Demonic Bears suffered the same fate. And this was under the circumstances that this forbidden spell didnt spread. If it had really spread beyond a one kilometer radius, its effects would have been really terrible. Theplexions of the seven demon gods were extremely unsightly. The seven of them resisted it together, and could still bear its power. After all, their demon god pirs were present nearby, so as long as they consumed some of their spiritual energy, they could escape harm. But seeing arge amount of elites from the Demon Emperor Legions die against this forbidden spell, and not even on the battlefield, one may well imagine their rage. The worse was that this was all they could do, and now they could only watch this situation unfold before their eyes, without even any way to chase after the fleeing knights. Right at this time, on another side of the demon camp, where other Demon Emperor Legions remained stationed, a dazzlingly bright light burst out, gathered at this spot. This time, the seven demon gods really looked concerned. Even Saminaga was already ashen-faced. Since the start of the Holy War, this was the first time the knights attacked the demon camp. They didnt expect this attack to be so decisive. Although they didnt know how the humans managed to create such a powerful forbidden spell by superposition, they knew that the power of this surprise attack was at its greatest while the demons were huddling in tiredness, cold and hunger in the deep night. Right when the seven demon gods were handling that light elemental forbidden spell that had just exploded with great power and needed their full power to stop it, another attack urred on the other side of the camp. This was clearly prepared in advance. The Holy War had already been going for a year and a half. Just like the demons had a deep understanding of the defenses and strength of the Knight Temple, humans also had aplete understanding of the demon armies. The superiority of the demon armies was undoubtable, but some of their shorings and weaknesses were found out by the powerhouses from the Knight Temple long ago. All else aside, the crowded aspect of their camp alone was a big issue. If fire was to spread in the camp, burning down the whole camp wasnt impossible. But of course, given the strength of their powerhouses, by itself fire would at most destroy a part of the tents and would be far from enough to harm the Demon Emperor Legions outside. Therefore, the Knight Temple had not yetunched such a surprise attack. Thats because a surprise attack would have its greatest impact the first time. Paralysing the enemy requires time, and attacking requires a very strong power. If nned carelesslly, this might only inadvertently alert the enemy. The Knight Temple had been enduring silently until then, but now hase the time of the counterattack. Five other figures appeared, and didnt insist on continuing to fight after throwing out those gaudy balls of light, immediately turning back to leave, and flying at great speed in the opposite direction. Once again, that terrifying superposed forbidden spell could be heard, this time from the other direction of the demon camp. The intense bright light burst into the shape of an immense golden mushroom cloud, originating from the location of Demon Emperor Legion troops in their camp, and spread out at a frightening speed to all four directions. Although a great amount of powerhouses from the demon armies woke up from dreand upon sensing the first forbidden spell, this had just happened too fast. Even those demons at the seventh or eighth step were far from reaching the reaction speed of the seven demon gods. In a state of starvation and freezing, they were deep in slumbend since long ago. Abruptly sensing the appearance of a massive aura of light, they were at most woken up, but didnt have the time to rush out from their tents, before the second wave of attacks came. Immediately, the demon powerhouses that were in the range of the light elemental forbidden spell were sorrowfully engulfed, thoroughly disappearing inside the holy mes. Holy mes is a form of fire, and will, as such, spread. This second forbidden spell didnt get restricted by the demon gods, and frantically spread out. Even if at a certain point after spreading it lost enough power to be insufficient to kill the demons, burning those tents was no issue! The whole demon camp was put into total chaos due to the surprise attack. And right at this time came the third wave of attacks from the Knight Temple. Operation start! Long Haochen shouted loudly, both his hands holding into a dark metallic ball of light. Violent surges of spiritual energy were poured into this shining metallic ball, which was then thrown into a set location. Reacting with the light elemental spiritual energy which was poured inside, it suddenly grew and reached a diameter of one meter. Behind him, five figures belonging to knights acted at the same time, firing arge number of balls of light. In this third wave, they also appeared in the midst of a Demon Emperor Legions area, however, this time, the attack was aimed at the middle of the demon camp. After a series of light balls was thrown, Long Haochen immediately gave out the order of retreat. Boss, how about taking advantage of the chaos to rush in and kill the most enemies possible? Han Yu whispered in Long Haochens ear. Long Haochen firmly rejected his idea, The forbidden spells wontst for long. Our objective is tounch a surprise attack, and then to immediately retreat. Otherwise, the seven demon gods will counterattack, and we wont be able to leave even if we try. Although he was hurried toplete the mission of gathering ten million contribution points, guaranteeing his personal safety was the most important. In fact, his life could be said to not just be his own anymore, but the whole Alliances hope. Therefore, he didnt zealously continue fighting in the least, but immediately led the fifty knights to retreat, and withdrew back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. This surprise attack was orchestrated during the military meeting that took ce before, with the simple and direct objective of destroying the three Demon Emperor Legions. Although the three Demon Emperor Legions had yet to join the battlefield until now, the threat they represented for the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was unquestionable. Having piled up the reports for over a year of scouting, the Knight Temple had grasped their position since long ago, and even knew clearly where the magical offense specialized Hell Demons were situated. Actually, a part of the Hell Demons that were carried and defended on the back of the Fiends at daytime was assigned to the Demon Emperor Legion. As mage forces, they represented the greatest threat to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Therefore, today, the main targets were the Demon Emperor Legions as well as the Hell Demons. The weapon that wasunched previously by every knight of the group was a secret weapon belonging to the Knight Temple, which was making its first appearance in the battlefield. This weapon was called Light Bomb, a powerful weapon purely aimed at sting light essence to kill and injure the enemies, as well as a good item that was kept concealed by the Knight Temple. At first, this item was developed to be used through the Magic Cannons, which had undoubtable destructive power. But the cost was phenomenal: a demon crystal of the fifth and the sixth rank each for only one shot. The spiritual energy inside would be drawn out totally, and even a magical crystal of the ninth rank wouldntst long after being fired. Therefore, the Alliance wanted to develop practical artillery shells, and used some metal with good affinity to the light element along with some low ranked demon crystals to experiment. In case of sess, it would undoubtedly greatly affect the utility of the magic cannons in the battlefield. After going through several years of development, several issues appeared, and the final project had yet to bepleted. But during the attempts of the Knight Temple the Light Bombs were developed.

Light Bomb was totally uunchable through the magic cannons because it would immediately produce a violent explosion even before being shot, or just aftering out. This couldnt threaten the enemies in the slightest, and became instead a self-damaging weapon. But during their tests, the Knight Temples researchers found out to their great surprise about a good benefit of the Light Bombs. That was their ability to superimpose their effects. After identical Light Bombs explode, the effects of the additional ones will add up, and the continuous increase of power could go up several-fold. This discovery immediately brought great joy to them, and resurrected the researches on the Light Bombs that was close to being abandoned. After spending a long time experimenting and researching, they finally discovered that the effects of the superpositions were the greatest when the power of the Light Bomb was unleashed through a power equivalent to that of light magic of the fourth step. Unfortunately, it could still not beunched through Magic Cannons, and could only be thrown by hand. It further required a light user to set the light essence ame after the throw to produce that superimposed sting power. After its creation, this item was very rapidly criticized, because in the battlefield, going through this process of superposition was just too difficult. A Light Bomb reaching only the fourth step, when fired, would immediately be stopped by the enemy. Where could there be any chance toplete superposition in such circumstances? One could say that in a situation of direct shing on the battlefield, umting Light Bombs until reaching the forbidden spell level was almost impossible. Furthermore, dont jump to conclusions just because Light Bombs only disy the might of spells of the fourth step: their cost of fabrication is extremely high, not only requiring the hand of a great expert, but also mythril, as well as many other kinds of precious metals that can be welded together with magical crystals of the light element, making for a very high total cost. Therefore, this experiment was a sess, but in the end, very few Light Bombs were made. Rare metals were still manageable, and could always be found, but the light element crystals were really hard to find, and having the knights hunt the magical beasts gathered in the Knights Saint Mountain was no solution. Therefore, in the Knight Temples treasure, there were only a few hundred of these and no more, and they werent really used after being invented. But since they used up so much energy to make these things, the Knight Temple naturally considered a situation where they could disy the greatest power. And that situation was a sneak attack. Only when ambushing the enemy could the superposition ability of these Light Bombs be exploited fully. And the surprise attack that took ce today was the first stage for the Light Bombs in history. For the sake of this surprise attack, the Knight Temple made an extremely detailed n that would have its best effect the first time it was used. Hence, Long Tianying gave the final decision to take out all these things they had in store. Launching three series of attacks was in the ns, and the segmentation of the attacks was also nned ahead, for the sake of avoiding the situation where those seven demon gods would disperse, as well as to guarantee that everyone that participated in this raid would be able to escape unscathed. In fact, those participating in this raid were all at least Mythril Foundation Knights! And their leaders like Long Haochen or He Jun were even more powerful. These were absolutely not forces that the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass could afford to lose. The first wave of attack was undoubtedly the most dangerous, because they were very likely to be chased by the demon gods, which is why the Holy Knight He Jun tookmand of it. Long Haochens group was assigned to thest wave to better ensure their safety. In this situation, how could Long Haochen not understand his grandfathers share of troubles? Although he didnt truly agree with him totally in his heart, he had to obey his order as a soldier in this battle. Over fifty figures shot up, flying at rapid speed by using their spiritual wings. Long Haochen deliberately remainedst, and summoned Star King while watching the situation in the rear attentively. This whole surprise attack went close to perfectly, aside from the first forbidden spell that got restricted by the seven demon gods. The other two spread out all around, and their damage didnt limit itself to destroying the Demon Emperor Legions, wiping out at least half of all the affiliated Hell Demons. This was the terror of forbidden spells. In front of such a surprise attackposed of forbidden spells, the Hell Demons, most of whom reached the sixth step in strength, didnt have much ability to resist. Even the defensive demons such as Demonic Bears could only lose their lives in front of such a powerful attack, to say nothing of the physically weak Hell Demons. The seven demon gods were now infuriated to the extreme. Just as the power of the forbidden spell they were confronting was starting to die down, the other two forbidden spells exploded. Even if the other powerhouses of the ninth step staying in the demon camp did their best to stand in front of the power of the forbidden spells, in the end they didnt have the protection from the demon god pirs, and didnt dare insist stubbornly on the task. Therefore, two huge golden mushroom clouds were seen spreading out in the sky above the camp. Saminagas teeth nearly broke down from the gritting. Although the demons damage had always been huge in this Holy War, this was the first time they suffered such a blow. And those were the three Demon Emperor Legions affiliated with the Demon God Emperor! Thest time, he was already furious when hearing about the hard blow the second legion suffered. As a result, a Devil King acting as Saminagas man was beaten nearly to death, and was still recuperating even now. This time, with such a heavy damage sustained by the three legions, even with his status, the Demon God Emperor wont easily excuse him. Right at this time, Saminaga took notice of thest batch of escaping knights, and immediately noticed Star King being ridden by Long Haochen. That was a Starlight Unicorn King! Even in the eyes of Saminaga, that was a considerably powerful light elemental magical beast. Moreover, he had just seen Star Kings master disy a glorious divine tool. How could he forget such a scene that easily? Seeing Long Haochen, Saminagas thoughts were stimted, thinking secretly,?To make up for the loss of the three Demon Emperor Legions that will surely incur the Demon God Emperors rage, Im afraid I could only bring this divine tool back to our emperor.?Although the demon gods wouldnt be able to use them, handing over a light elemental divine tool would indeed most likely be enough to appease the fury of the Demon God Emperor. Therefore, right after sorting out his thoughts, he immediately set himself in motion, and pped his immense grey wings, immediately shooting up like a grey meteor to chase after Long Haochen. Long Haochen was after all not a god, and naturally couldnt possibly guess what the thoughts of Saminaga were. He didnt use his spiritual wings for fear of leaking out his identity, but it turned out that the sight of Star King still made him a target of the Demon God of Death. Saminagas sudden departure shocked the other six demon gods, because they werent done handling the first forbidden spell. When he left, the power of the forbidden spell immediately spread out, engulfing dozens of troops from Demon Emperor Legions. The only one that really understood his thoughts was the Demonic Bear God Vassago. That was because he took notice of Long Haochen and was prepared to chase after him, but was pre-empted by Saminaga. Under the circumstances, Vassago couldnt carry-out his n. Otherwise, it would be seen as a provocation towards Saminaga. Although he had always wanted to seize the fifth seat as a demon god, he wasnt willing to have a confrontation with Saminaga. He was very clear on the strength of the Fiend n. Long Haochen was in the midst of retreating with hisrades, the other two teams having already withdrawn sessively to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. This time, he suddenly sensed an indescribable feeling of intense pressure. This was the first time he had ever felt such a feeling. Even his father and grandfather never triggered that. The oppressive feeling didnt subsist in the auras, but in the air. He felt as if the air surrounding him turned sticky, pressing in on him from every side. It increased to the extent that Star Kings speed went down. That omnipresent pressure seemed to crush them forcibly. Not good! Without needing to look back, Long Haochen could guess the situation. Someone who could pressure him to such extent without triggering the slightest desire of fighting back could only be at the rank of demon god. Han Yu, quickly go! With a loud shout, Long Haochen had Star King turn back, while unleashing Rippling Light. An orange glint was loosed from his left hand as well, quickly protecting his whole body. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon really deserved being called an existence with the potential of reaching the supra-divine tool level. After releasing it, Long Haochen immediately felt his whole body bing light, and that feeling oppressing his body was greatly weakening. However, he could already discern at this time the Demon God of Death who was chasing madly after him, and couldnt help but gasp in reaction. That was the fourth ranked demon god! Even as a powerhouse reaching over 400,000 spiritual energy his grandfather admitted to not being his match. Above the ninth step, every rank was a whole new stage, and the gap separating them could not simply be described with words. Even if Long Tianying had more than 200,000 spiritual energy and had his Divine Throne, he was only able to end up in mutual destruction against Saminaga. How could Haochen resist? But this time, Long Haochen couldnt retreat. No matter what, Star Kings speed couldnt possiblypare with Saminaga. Being targeted, Long Haochen didnt have the slightest chance to resist. Moreover, he was themander of this army, and the newly-appointed Saint Knight Head. In this moment of life or death, how could he leave his allies backs to the enemys mercy? Therefore, he had to remain, and do his best to resist Saminaga. Maybe he had no other choice but to use that power. That was the only thing that could help him escape a certain loss without leaking his identity.

Chapter 515: Demon God of Death (I)

Long Haochen already made his decision. To keep living, he had no choice but to use the Tower of Eternity. That was his only chance to escape. But that time hadnte yet. He ought to use his all to stop Saminaga for a certain time, to at least help hisrades escape sessfully. Captain! Han Yu also saw Saminaga, but didnt feel that oppressive force in the air. Saminagas target was only Long Haochen, he didnt even consider the others. Just go, I will be able to get away. Long Haochen hurriedly gave Han Yu a nce. He was fully aware that given Saminagas strength, the fallout of a single one of his attacks could very possibly be enough to ruin a knight at Han Yus level. Han Yu gritted his teeth. With his understanding of Long Haochen, he immediately understood what he was hinting at. Remaining would only make him a burden for Long Haochen. He immediately turned back and hurried rapidly to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass with the other Mythril Foundation Knights. The difference was that these Mythril Foundation Knights had on the contrary not the slightest worry. In their eyes, Long Haochen was a powerful Saint Knight with a divine tool in his possession, a powerhouse taking the rear for the weaker ones to escape. This was the convention for knights, and what they now had to do was to hurry back at full speed, to avoid bing burdens for Long Haochen. Sensing that they were escaping, Long Haochen rapidly felt more at ease, looking at the figure that was growing in size in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he put away Rippling Light that was in his hand, and an orange glow slowly began to shine in his left hand. Long Haochen understood very clearly that a Glorious Weapon such as Rippling Light couldnt possibly have the slightest use against Saminaga. It wouldnt even be able to bear the release of his full strength. Therefore, he could only put it away. But this time, Long Haochen didnt intend to take out his own two divine swords. This was not only because they were in a state of being nurtured, which couldnt be interrupted, but also because if these two swords appeared in the battlefield, his identity would be leaked out. And this would certainly bring ruin to the Knight Temple, since the Demon God Emperor wouldnt let him go. Long Haochen considered it thoroughly, and decided to rely on the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon to block Saminaga, and give hisrades enough time to go. At the same time, he was confident that from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, his grandfather surely took notice of the situation. Until it bes absolutely necessary, he absolutely wouldnt transfer to the Tower of Eternity. Seeing Long Haochen lift up his left arm, Saminaga reduced his chasing speed at once. In the daytime, he had seen the might of that shield with his own eyes, and didnt know how the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon could turn into a divine tool. But in front of such an item, he remained extremely prudent despite having absolute self-confidence. The air behind Saminaga took almost no time to take the shape of a vicious Fiend skull, instantly engulfing Long Haochen with a colossal gray airflow. In the midst of an overflowing aura of death, it felt as if countless specters were howling in grief. This took a long time to describe, but only a few seconds had passed since Long Haochen had been overtaken by Saminagas chase. Long Haochen was nowpletely devoid of distracting thoughts. Another Saint Knight of the eighth step would perhaps have already lost his head in fear in front of this Demon God of Death, without even need to specify that Saminaga was using all his strength. But Long Haochen didnt: he was the Scion of Light, a gods chosen one, and having gone through over a year in secluded training, he had gotten rid of his distracting thoughts long ago. Therefore, he almost instantly entered the state of releasing Swords Heart. Saminagas terrifying Domain of Death was surrounding him, but at this time, an orange glow was radiating from Long Haochens left hand. An iparably dense sword intent came out from his shield, bursting out into the shape of an orange disk of light, and forcibly forming a zone exclusive to Long Haochen in the midst of the Domain of Death. Saminagas pupils shrank abruptly. His flying speed slowed even more: he had sensed a simr sword intent before, and in that earlier battle, the sword intent had actually even injured the Demon God Emperor. Saminaga hadnt been living for as long as the Demon God Emperor, but he exceeded the age of three hundred long agi, and he had personally witnessed the scene of the Temple Head of the Warrior Temple, Divine Sword Wielder Ye Wushangs challenge towards the Demon God Emperor. That battle finished rapidly, after all how could Ye Wushangs strengthpare to the Demon God Emperor? But he had staked everything on his powerful sword intent to injure the Demon God Emperor just before getting killed. And right now, on the Gold Foundation Armor Knight before his eyes, Ye Wushangs sword intent seemed to have reappeared. So much thatpared to the former, this sword intent didnt reach its degree of strength, but its intensity seemed even greater. Ye Wushangs sword intent was filled with an iparable sharpness. But this Gold Foundation Armored Knights sword intent seemed to give off in addition a prating and overwhelming feeling. That sword intent was different, but its might was clearly not inferior by much. Moreover, Ye Wushang was originally using a divine sword which was also a divine tool. Yet this knights weapon was incredibly more strange as it appeared to be a shield that could release sword intent and unleash the power of a divine tool. Saminaga had lived for over three hundred years, but this was the first time he saw such a thing. Therefore, he couldnt help but act prudently. From Saminagas point of view, to possess both a Gold Foundation Armor of epic tier and a divine tool, Long Haochen was surely a Holy Knight, powerhouse of the ninth step. That was not a Divine Knight, but relying on a divine tool, his strength ought to beparable to Long Tianyings. Therefore, his assessment of Long Haochens strength reached a whole new level. Moreover, seeing the powerful sword intent overpower a part of the area of his Domain of Death, he became even more certain of his supposition. Long Haochen didnt think about anything else. His sword was his everything. Indeed, the Divine Snail Shield was not a sword, but this didnt affect the propagation of Long Haochens sword intent. Even empty-handed, his heart formed a sword. If a year and a half ago his spiritual energy was used to materialize into his sword intent, the sword intent would at most have a foggy shape, at most a barely visible shape of sword. But after that year and a half, the entirety of the sword intent in him took a liquid shape, and his grasp on it was total. Based solely on his sword intent, the current Long Haochen was indeed already able topare with Ye Wushang. All heckedpared to him was cultivation and deepness of understanding. After all, he was still far too young, the gap separating him from the veteran Ye Wushang was extremely wide. This sword intent was unique and domineering; after all, shocking the Demon God of Death wasnt something just anyone could do. Saminaga made his move at this time. Being afraid of Long Haochens sword intent was the same as giving up on the divine tool in his hand. But on the contrary, Saminaga was currently determined. He had to kill Long Haochen no matter what. Killing a Holy Knight with such a grasp on sword intent was also a great contribution. Although the Golden Foundation Armor couldnt be kept because of the Knight Temples special means to retrieve them, the spiritual core of a Holy Knight was also a good thing! After more than nine spiritual cavities are formed, a spiritual pill, also known as a spiritual core, will be produced. Any human powerhouse can increase his spiritual cavities through cultivating, but will only have one spiritual core, which remains inside his first spiritual cavity. Spiritual pills are far more useful than the magical crystals left by the demons. After all these were only possessed by powerhouses of the ninth step! The demons had the means to eliminate the elemental properties of a spiritual pill, to make it work with pure spiritual energy,and a spiritual pill could act in the battlefield as a life, even to a powerhouse such as Saminaga. A spiritual pill could instantly replenish the users whole spiritual energy. It takes no time and produces no side effects, which is why a spiritual pill is, to an alchemist, an ingredient of the best quality to make top rated medicine. The stronger the powerhouse of the ninth step leaving the spiritual pill, the better its effects. However, using a spiritual pill is a totally forbidden thing for a human to do. In case a powerhouse of the ninth step dies, it will immediately be buried in a special cemetery, in a ce only known by the supreme leaders of the Alliance. Of course, this is one of the highest rated secret in the Temple Alliance. Even if Long Haochen wanted to know about it, that could only wait for the day he would be the head of the Knight Temple. Arge gray hand pierced the sky, instantly erging to a size of ten meters, aiming straight at Long Haochen to grab him. At the time it just appeared, that hand was formed of gray airflow, but when it was about to reach out, it had already solidifiedpletely. Long Haochen wasnt afraid. Looking ahead with a limpid pair of eyes, he lifted his left hand high above his head, before slowly dropping it. The orange glow intensified abruptly, and the orange disk of over ten meters diameter descended slowly. Then, the iparably sharp sword intent on it disappeared in a brief moment, and the whole area was colored orange, except for the golden halo that was spreading from Star King to Long Haochens whole body. Bam! The bright disk and therge hand shed. Saminagas right hand made a grasping movement. Immediately, a terrible aura of darkness and death surged out, surrounding Long Haochen before sting out. Terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy could very clearly be sensed, even from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Holding the Demon God of Deaths full attention, he was shown Saminagas true strength. What powerful attacks!

Chapter 516: Demon God of Death (II)

With thin flickers of light all around, Long Haochen disyed a cold smile on his face. Right now, all he could perceive around him was death and darkness. But from within him, that liquid sword intent burst forth at an iparable speed. Long Haochen felt that his heart produced a?Ding?sound. That feeling was very hard to describe, as if something had been broken, while something else had appeared. After that, a sh of understanding surged through his mind. However, he currently didnt have the free time to ponder over these matters. From that disk of light came out the whole power of his sword intent. Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass A dense bluish-golden glint was shooting toward the demon camp at an iparable speed. At the very moment, Long Tianying was totally fired up. He absolutely didnt expect Saminaga to act against Long Haochen. In the original ns, the chance of the demon gods acting directly was calcted, but in these calctions, they were estimated to be most likely to act at the first stages. That is, if they didnt care about the explosion of these forbidden spells, they would then attack the knights belonging to the first wave of attacks. And amongst them was the powerhouse He Jun. His protection would be enough for the Mythril Foundation Knights to withdraw. Moreover, during the discussions the odds of the demon gods intervening were estimated to be negligible. Those forbidden spells were aimed at the three Demon Emperor Legions! Even if these demon gods extinguished the first one, they should do their utmost to dispel the other two sts, and reduce their damage. The Demon Emperor Legions were very precious to the Demon God Emperor. Who could have expected Saminaga to suddenly stop caring about the forbidden spells, in order to aim solely at Long Haochen? Long Tianying was now filled with regrets to thest bone. He suddenly realized the major issue they had overlooked. Long Haochen couldnt be recognized: riding another mount, using other weapons, and showing an overwhelmingly different strength. Unless Saminaga had X-ray vision, he couldnt possibly recognize Haochens identity. Then, there was only one exnation for why he aimed at Long Haochen. That was the divine tool he disyed earlier in the day. Long Tianying understood that he had really been careless, neglecting the possibility of Long Haochens exposure. If Long Haochens spiritual wings were the same as other peoples, he simply wouldnt have been targeted by Saminaga and would have returned safely. But his spiritual wings were a set of four, which was an overly extraordinary sight. Therefore he had no choice but to call forth the Starlight Unicorn King, which Saminaga surely recognized as the mount belonging to the powerful knight that killed the two Fiend Commanders that day. Which is why Saminaga targeted him. Since the situation had be like this, regrets were useless. They hadnt nned this situation; no one expected that things could turn out this way. Now, the only thing he could do was to go to Long Haochens rescue as fast as possible. Among all the high-ups of the Knight Temple remaining in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, only Long Tianying knew about the importance of Long Haochen toi the Knight Temple. Moreover, all of this aside, Long Haochen was his grandson, and his only grandson at that! Long Tianying initially felt great guilt towards Long Haochen, but at this very moment, seeing his grandson attacked by Saminaga and alreadypletely caught within his domain, how could he not be anxious? A bluish golden flow of light remained on the trail of Long Tianyings back, and one could clearly see that the brilliance belonging to the Divine Throne of Order and Law wasing out from his back. Bolts of bluish-golden light were continuously following after Long Tianying, transforming into an armor that equipped itself to him. Every time the bluish-golden armor gained ayer, Long Tianyings demeanor became more imposing, and the sky behind him lit up with more intensity. In his state of full power, Long Tianying showed no reserve. Even if he fell in the battlefield, he would rescue Long Haochen no matter what. That was his sole wish. However, Long Tianying was not very optimistic. But since he had already closed the distance after all, Saminagas offense now became slower. At the time he set out from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, Saminagas Hand of Death had already gotten hold of Long Haochen and Star King. Bzz?With buzzing sounds, an extraordinary burst of power came out abruptly from the Hand of Death. The originally overwhelming gigantic gray hands suddenly became stiff, and an orange glow of light spread out. Tchi Just like a pile of snow, the gigantic gray hand transformed from the Hand of Death instantly smashed into pieces, transforming into surges of gray fog, and a resplendent orange colored radiance came out, piercing through the fog. A mystifying scene followed. In the originally quiet night, a golden pir of light suddenly descended from the sky, going through Long Haochens body. Riding Star King, he had a holy look, and the Divine Snail Shield in his hand already increased its size to two thirds of a meter in diameter. The imposing orange radiance became more intense, and as if refracting the golden ray falling down from the sky, it changed the trajectory of the pir of light to direct it straight at Saminaga. This Saminaga was shocked: when his Hand of Death grasped Long Haochen, to his stupefaction, this Gold Foundation Knight didnt seem as powerful as he predicted, but another shock rapidly came to him. From the orange halo burst forth an iparably tyrannical sword intent. That sword intent was just like a sudden explosion of spiritual energy, only countless times more powerful, to the extent that it tore the Hand of Death to shreds. To Saminagas astonishment, the Hand of Death was notcerated by a powerful spiritual energy, but by the mental forceing out from the sword intent. In other words, it wasnt Long Haochens cultivation that enabled him to resist the Hand of Death, but that sudden burst of tyrannical sword intent which severed Saminagas control over it, annihting his blow. The refracted golden pir of light was filled with boundless holy power: when the golden pir of light illuminated Saminagas gray domain, an impassioned and clear melody could be heard. Every time the gray fog made contact with the pir, it melted at lightning speed, totally unable to resist the attack from the golden pir of light. Long Haochen was now in Saminagas domain! Inside a domain, the whole control and quantity of elemental energy were under its control, but he didnt seem affected in the slightest. This could only prove one thing, that the purity of Long Haochens light element exceeded the purity of Saminagas deathly darkness element. Being the fourth ranked demon god, how could Saminaga not be in a state of shock? But being in a state of shock didnt mean that he would stop attacking. On the contrary, his fighting spirit was roused by Long Haochens powerful resistance. Confronting that golden pir of light, Saminagas eyes became extremely chilly, and lifting his right hand, he slowly charged. His slow movespared to the refracted light were totally iparable. And Saminagas punch finally shed with the descending pir of light without deviating in the slightest. An inexhaustible gray spiral shed against the golden pir of light, and gray fog surged in response, but this time didnt disperse from beginning to end. A grim shrill spread out in the midst of the sweet sounds, and twelve fierce Fiend skulls appeared, intertwining with each other, and nning on shattering the pir of light. Long Haochen was using Gods Descent, borrowing power from the Goddess of Light. This was far from being his first time attempting such an attack. This was naturally quite weaker than the power of the Aria of the Goddess of Light, but the purity of the spiritual energy involved was a lot greater. However, in the end his opponent was still too powerful. Even Gods Descent didnt have much use in front of the Demon God of Death. With a stuffy groan, Long Haochens body shook and Star King had the same reaction. This looked like a simple attack, but Long Haochen already put his full power forth. Resisting the attack Hand of Death which reached the ninth step and furthermoreunching a counterattack was already the most he could do. The difference of strength was that huge. Even with a greater sword intent, the insufficient backup of spiritual energy would have made it unable to disy its full glory. Saminaga was far from using his full strength to dispose of Long Haochen. While rushing there, Long Tianying obviously paid attention to this. Although this was a simple exchange of blows, how could he, at his current level of strength, not sense Long Haochens actual cultivation through this? The Demon God of Death already understood that this was only a knight of the eighth step that had a divine tool in his hand, his cultivation still very far from the ninth step. But regardless of his cultivation, the most important was to get that divine tool. The reason why Saminaga had yet to use his full power was that the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon hadnt yet released its power, so he had to remain careful. The seven-colored light from the daytime made him really apprehensive. He had to confirm the extent the might of this light reached before anything else. After causing the rupture of the golden light, that gray whirlpool gained in volume at a tremendous speed, almost instantly covering Long Haochens whole body in its sphere of influence, and even Star King was engulfed inside along with him. Cycle of Death was Saminagas ultimate technique. Against it, even Long Tianying had to rely on the power of his divine tool to have a chance of resistance. Could Long Tianying make it in time to rescue Long Haochen? That was hard to say. Thats because, on his way here, a robust figure came to block his way, the Demonic Bear God Valefor. Although Valefor coveted Saminagas position, he remained globally sober-headed as a demon god. After resolving the first forbidden spell, he had the other five demon gods go weaken the other two forbidden spells power and rescue the members of the Demon Emperor Legion, and came himself, flying past Saminaga, to block Long Tianyings way.

Chapter 517: Demon God of Death (III)

How could Valefor not understand the goal Saminaga had when chasing after Long Haochen? Saminaga was in no way the only one who would suffer punishment: he bore his own share of responsibility regarding the great damage sustained by the Demon Emperor Legions. This divine tool, which would reduce the rage of the Demon God Emperor, was important to get, and therefore, he obviously couldnt let Long Tianying disturb Saminaga. Fuck off! Long Tianying let out a loud shout, and the sky becamepletely golden-blue, creating a contrast with the gray Domain of Death. The magnificent golden-blue armor on him covered his whole body, and the blue moonlight shape on his back came from his Divine Throne of Order and Law. He had a single weapon, a very huge hammer. Even with Long Tianyings cultivation, he needed both of his hands to manipte it. Quite coincidentally, Valefor was usingrge hammers as well, one in each hand. Completely yellow in color, they seemed like two huge sculpted crystals.. With rumbling sounds, the hammer shed against the dual-headed hammers violently in the sky. Valefor didnt activate his domain before that, but the instant the three hammers collided, arge area spread to over three hundred meters distance, in the midst of which a yellow gigantic bear appeared. Roaring at the sky[a], he shook the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass with great scale. With this shockwave, Long Tianying was stopped, blocked forcefully, and sent flying a hundred meters away. The Demonic Bears strongest point was their physical strength, so even with Long Tianyings divine armor transformed from the Divine Throne of Order and Law, his sheer brute force was unable topete with Valefor at all. As the sixth demon god, how could he be such an easy opponent to handle? Without sufficient power as a basis, how could Valefor dare contest the seats of the top fivedemon gods? Long Tianying was repelled a bit, not letting out a single word. He saw the distant gray fog clearly, but wasnt able to discern the figures of Long Haochen and Saminaga, the Demon God of Death. He had traded blows with Saminaga a few times already, and also had an ampleprehension of Long Haochen ability. He knew that even if Long Haochen didnt keep his strength concealed, he couldntst for long in front of Saminaga. Moreover, the full divine-tool-grade power of Long Haochens Divine Snail Shield was far beyond his own grasp. But for him to actually keep calm even in such a situation, and in such a dangerous crisis, Long Tianying truly deserved to be called the Divine Knight of Control and Law. The golden-blue hammer in his hand was slowly lifted up above his head, where one could see that its length was about four meters. Its blunt part was circr, and about two thirds of a meter in diameter. On that part were several imprints of moon shapes: full moons, waxing moons, waning moons, and many other variation[b]s. Every one of these imprints were colored in brilliant golden-blue. After lifting it up, Long Tianying chanted gravely, Heaven and Earth, Law and Order. Listen to my call, Moongods power. Shine! Immediately, the golden blue radiance covering the whole sky undted, and took the unexpected shape of a quarter moon. As it shot out moonlight that spread sacred light, a pure and simple golden-blue radiance lit upon his hammer. When Valefors two hammers pushed Long Tianying away, the shock he sustained was actually important too. It was especially due to the massive light essence poured inside Long Tianyings gigantic divine-tool-graded hammer, requiring Valefor to spend time to scatter it. Right now, looking at Long Tianyings hammer as it spread moonlight, his expresion became all the more serious. The Demon God of Death Saminaga told him before that Long Tianyings gigantic hammer was called Moongods Power[c], and had light properties. When he would put his whole power into it, his domain would turn moon shaped. At this time, Long Tianying is at his most terrifying. The greater this moonlights volume is, the more terrible Long Tianyings attacks will be. And upon reaching the full-moon state, even Saminaga had to avoid a direct sh. His two arms spread wide to his sides, his chest was thrust forward, and Valefor shouted loudly. A gigantic yellow bear abruptly took shape behind him, and Valefors body instantly swelled, letting out very imposing wild manners. In terms of cultivation, Valefor was only a bit inferiorpared to Saminaga. But out of all demons, only the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu could dare to dere that he could easily defeat Valefor in physical strength. Even if Long Tianying was even stronger, he wouldnt be able to escape damage whileunching his attack. That was one of the greatest skills of expertise for Demonic Bears. Myriad of Bears Ultimate Power. Against Long Tianyings golden-blue hammer of the Moongod, Valefor let out a snarl and lifted his dual hammers, preparing to sh head-on. With a bang, the two sides shed once again, as the three hammers collided all together. Behind Valefor was the gigantic bear shadow, while behind Long Tianying was a first-quarter moon, bursting out with an iparable brilliance. The distorted light fog behind took the shape of a huge spiral shaped tornado, seemingly lighting up the whole area between the Dragon Resisting Mountain and the demons camp. Valefors originally wild look gradually became filled with shock. Thats because he clearly sensed that his power was gradually being suppressed and the air surrounding his body waspressed astoundingly rapidly. Thispression of the air was cutting him off from his domain: the surroundings came under the full control of Long Tianying since the great power of w and control resided in domain control. Although this divine throne was ranked in thetter part amongst the six, its sheer ability to counter enemy domains was only second to the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Long Tianyings domain could not only greatly amplify his power, but also damage the enemys domain. And at the ninthstep level, a domains utility was really important. Bang!?Valefors two hammers was sent flying, just like huge yellow artillery shellsunched far away. The Demonic Bear Domain behind him that used to amplify his physical abilities was unexpectedly shattered, and the bluish-golden half-moon on Long Tianyings back became twice asrge. The bluish-golden radiance emitted by the Moongods Hammer became iparably resplendent. Long Tianyings face suddenly became abnormally flushed: beating Valefor back was easier said than done. He had already exceeded the normal use of the Divine God of Law and Order, but for the sake of saving Long Haochen, he was willing to pay an even higher cost. Taking another deep breath, as he was nning tounch an attack against the Domain of Death materialized by Saminaga, an extremely shocking scene came into his view. Saminagas Domain of Death was bursting out, and from inside, a myriad of bright rays of light were rushing out. Despite the strength of his domain, it was totally unable to stop the development of these rays of light. The whole domain had great effects, and in addition, everywhere the light passed, the gray colored Domain of Death disappeared frantically. The whole domain was like a giant creature at its final struggle. How could that be??This was Long Tianyings first thought. He was fully aware of Long Haochens strength, and to say nothing about the fact he was still unable to use the divine-tool-level ability of the Divine Snail Shield, even if he could, the gap of strength between Saminaga and him should make it impossible for him to break through Saminagas domain. When Long Tianying was shing with Valefor, he was only praying that Long Haochen could hold out for longer with the help of the Divine Snail Shield, to buy enough time for him toe to the rescue. But he really didnt expect such a situation. That bright golden color was clearly of light attribute, and from this, Long Haochen actually seemed to have the advantage, and a definite advantage at that. To a powerhouse of the ninth step, a domain is like a prolongation of his life. If the domain gets broken, the damage inflicted to the powerhouse of the ninth step would be iparable. Such a damage will not only be limited to heavy wounds, but also be represented internally! But how did Long Haochen achieve this? Actually, Long Haochen himself was shocked in the extreme too. When Cycle of Death appeared and engulfed Star King and him in an instant, Long Haochen immediately knew that this was something he was totally unable to resist. Saminaga was too powerful: on the basis of his spiritual energy exceeding 400,000, when used by him, this ability was already approaching the might of a forbidden spell. Dont underestimate it because it doesnt need preparation time; its terrifying power is like apletely solidified Spiritual Hignd. Although Long Haochen had the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon to defend himself, even if thetter could resist this degree of power, Star King would certainly not be able to resist, and would end upcerated by the powerful oppressive force. So the instant Cycle of Death descended, he immediately send Star King back to his own space, while stimting the Eternal Melody on his chest without any hesitation. Only by escaping through the Tower of Eternity, could he cope with the situation. In there, Long Haochen was quite safe. As his strength increased, his connection to the Tower of Eternity came to deepen. Now, almost no more than a thought sufficed for him to link with the Tower of Eternity. Even though Cycle of Death was terrifying enough, it was unable to sever this connection, which enabled him to escape. This was the major reason why Long Haochen didnt feel anxious in the slightest. But when Long Haochen activated the Eternal Melody, making an instant full contact with the Tower of Eternity, a change urred. On his chest, the Eternal Melody abruptly released an iparable golden radiance and scorching heat. That severe scorching heat nearly burnt Long Haochens body, and even with his willpower, he couldnt help but scream in pain. Immediately, he saw a myriad of bright rays of light burst forth, as the Eternal Melody transmitted to him an indescribable feeling of ecstasy. And then, he actually managed to repel the Cycle of Death as the myriad of light rays wrapped Long Haochen. Long Tianying and Long Haochen were greatly shocked, but what they felt was notparable to Saminagas feelings.

Chapter 518: The Tower of Eternity Descends! (I)

Saminagas assessment of Long Haochens strength was urate, and he was inevitably going to seed. In front of Cycle of Death, even the might of Long Haochens divine tool shouldnt be able tost long. After all, the gap of strength was too great. He was only waiting for Long Haochen to die and for his soul to blend into the Domain of Death, and then, the divine tool would naturally be his. But when Saminaga started to pay attention to Long Tianying and Vassagos battle, and prepare to block Long Tiangyings attack, a change urred. While engulfed by Cycle of Death, from Long Haochens chest burst forth a myriad of light rays. Even in Long Tianyings eyes, these lights had a holy attribute of boundless purity. It was rather different in Saminagas eyes. That golden light had a fantastic characteristic that was enough to give Saminaga some dread. Although this Domain of Death was originating from him, it continuously took essence from those who died inside as time passed. The power of these souls was engulfed unceasingly and they turned into specters residing in the domain, amplifying its might greatly. For this reason, Saminagas domain stood out amongst all demonkind. Its power was enough to receive high praises from Agares and Vassago: his position as fourth demon god was precisely settled by the Domain of Death. Right before, Saminaga utilized the twelve most powerful Specter Kingsing from it to instantly crush Long Haochens God Descent. Having attained such a level, his death magic could be already said to reach incredible heights, totally fearless in front of the power of ordinary holy light. But at this very moment, he had a real feeling of dread. Thats because the myriad of light rays that burst out from Long Haochens chest were swallowing the power of his domain at a frantic speed. Thats right, it wasnt destroyed or dissolved, but swallowed. He could sense very clearly that the spectersposing his domain were swallowed at an astonishing speed, and Cycle of Death was broken in almost no time. When Long Haochen reappeared in his line of sight, a golden pagoda seemed to be shrouding him. And from that golden pagoda, an iparably powerful and oppressive aura was rushing forth. Saminaga had only felt such a pressure in front of the Demon God Emperor himself before. A golden light ten times more powerful than before burst out from the golden pagoda. One could faintly discern that, inside this golden pagoda, a bunch of whitish golden specters werecerating his Domain of Death while swallowing it frantically. In a few blinks of an eye, that light had already spread to the whole Domain of Death. Whats that??Saminaga became totally panicked. In his panic, he didnt have the wisdom to keep on his back the twelve gray sparkling specters, which were all about ten meters in diameter, and frantically shot them at that golden pagoda. The Demon God of Death sensed that allowing this pagoda to keep engulfing his Domain of Death would result in its thorough destruction. This power was really too frightening. The oppression he felt from that golden pagoda surpassed by far Long Haochens Divine Snail Shield as he saw it during daytime. At the time this golden pagoda appeared, he felt unable to resist. A divine tool, and definitely not an ordinary one, but one that totally suppressed him with its attribute. As a matter of fact, the Demon God of Death Saminaga was really excessively unlucky. Another demon god, even if far lower ranked, would have forced Long Haochen to teleport back into the Tower of Eternity long ago: Long Haochen couldnt resist in front of absolute strength. But the crucial point was that Saminaga had acted personally. His magic of death used the darkness element as its foundation, and he could be said to be the greatest powerhouse of the whole continent in death magic. But the fact that he was the current best mage of death didnt mean that he was the strongest in history. Saminaga was indeed powerful, but in front of the Slumbering Cmity Elux, the former Scion of Light and necromancer that used holy light as attribute to cultivate his death magic, Saminaga paled into insignificance. Originally, it took almost the whole human force to seal Elux and destroy his corporeal body. But the Tower of Eternity still remained, and the Slumbering Cmity relied almost only on his own power to resist against all humankind. The degree of terror he inspired was absolutely not below the Demon God Emperor, andpared to thetter, he used to be even more destructive for the human race. The Slumbering Cmity Elux was cultivating necromancy, but necromancy and death magics greatest difference resided in the summoning. Necromancy was more inclined to summoning while death magic tended more closely to destruction and havoc. One used the power of the souls to provide assistance in the battlefield, while the other one directly absorb these souls power to strengthen the user. On a fundamental basis, its not as if one of these two paths is above the other. So cultivation is the greatest factor that needs to be looked at. Saminaga was indeed a great character, ranked fourth in strength among all demons, and current top-ranked death magic practitioner powerhouse, but the gap separating him from Elux was not a little one. The Scion of Light and gods chosen one Elux even dared to spheme the Goddess of Light. Thats the extent of his strength! And his wisdom and intelligence enabled him to attain the peak in the research of necromancy, englobing the notions pertaining to death magic. Also, he left behind the Tower of Eternity, a supra-divine tool able to move from space to space. How could Saminaga contend against that? If Elux was still alive, Saminaga would, in his eyes, only be a powerful soul to get and no more. He didnt even qualify for a one versus one fight. The difference in strength was quite distinct. In such circumstances, when Haochen activated the Eternal Melody, nning on returning to the Tower of Eternity, it sensed the Domain of Deaths massive quantity of specters and power of death through their connection. To humans, this was a terrifyingly destructive power. But to the Tower of Eternity, this was simply an iparably great tonic! Just how much did Saminaga amass over the years? And it was a pure energy of death, which didnt need much filtering. Hence the Tower of Eternity entered a state of excitement, feeling the great tonic that was just in sight, how could it possibly let it slip by so easily? Therefore, a projection of it instantly shot through the space of Shengmo Dalu, protecting Long Haochen while starting to take these greatly tonifying things as food. Saminaga was totally out of luck. If he hadnt regarded Long Haochen too highly, and instead of directly using the Domain of Death had relied on his powerful spiritual energy tounch an attack, this situation wouldnt have happened. As a supra-divine tool, the attractive force it possessed towards specters was unquestionable, and irresistible. And holy light was no less than the nemesis of darkness. Encountering Elux, Saminaga was like a young girl in front of a hungry and thirsty macho man. The two of them couldpliment each other, but the difference of strength being such, it could only end up one way The twelve specters threw themselves at the Tower of Eternity: these two Specter Kings were one of Saminagas greatest trump cards. Having continuously nourished them with other specters, they became powerful enough to resist in front of Gods Descent, even without being at full power. But upon encountering the Tower of Eternity now, all of this came to an end. These twelve great specters were really tough: the light emitted by the Tower of Eternity managed at most to shake them, with no way of absorbing their extremely condensed soul force. But the situation changed totally from the mere fact that these twelve great Specter Kings moved towards the Tower of Eternity. The light that seemed to have no effect on them before suddenly lit up, turning from a golden color to an incandescent white, and a terrible sort of soul shock burst forth from the Tower of Eternity. The twelve Specter Kings screamed in mourning almost simultaneously. Their massive, congealed bodies shook violently, turning into innumerable spectral fragments that spread through the air. Circles of incandescent white light surged out frantically, absorbing and swallowing these soul fragments. The brilliance of the Tower of Eternity also brokepletely through Saminagas Domain of Death at this time, transforming into an area of omnipresent golden light which totally rejected the Domain of Death. Not only was the soul force from the Domain of Death was absorbed, but even the newly deceased troops from the Demon Emperor Legions had their souls absorbed at a frantic speed. This was the power of a supra-divine tool. Even the mere projection of the tool already disyed an iparably terrifying might. As a supra-divine tool, the Tower of Eternity was highly wise and intelligent in its own right. To fully gain control of it, Long Haochen could onlyplete every trial left by Elux, and upon finally reaching the top of the tower, he might receive the inheritance of the Holy Necromancer. The main body of the Tower of Eternity had a strong sense of independance. Feeling that this space could provide him with things of extreme benefit, it chose not to spare any cost, spreading its divine light to this world to plunder every benefit without restraint. Earlier, just as the twelve Specter Kings threw themselves at the Tower of Eternity, given its power as a supra-divine tool, how could it be unable damage them? It just chose to do that deliberately. Thats because the Tower of Eternity sensed the great power of these twelve. By attacking them from a distance, it would definitely cause them to run away in fright. And as a projection, it had no way to forcibly attract them from a far distance. Chapter 519-523

Chapter 519: The Tower of Eternity Descends (II)

Therefore, it baited the twelve Specter Kings to approach, and the instant they came into contact with the Tower of Eternity, it unleashed its most basic power, the pure might of a supra-divine tool. The Specter Kings were indeed powerful, butpared to the full power blow of a supra-divine tool, how could theypare? It directly resulted in them shattering. The instant the twelve specters were broken into pieces, Saminaga shouted in great despair. At this time, he thoroughly understood that this golden pagoda wasnt anything he could resist against. If this went on, he would not only sustain injuries, but possibly even be consumed due to the massive death force he possessed. In the midst of a frantic shout, Saminaga spurted out a mouthful of blood, and immediately, the distant Demon God of Deaths Pir erupted with an iparable brilliance. The frightful gray energy in the sky transformed into a gigantic, sinister, Fiend shape that frantically rushed towards the Tower of Eternity and fully absorbed the rest of the Domain of Death which was forcefully recalled. This sinister Fiend was the root of Saminagas power, as well as the root of the whole Fiend ns power, not limited to the death attribute. At the very moment, Saminaga was letting out extremely bizarre shrills, and in the demon camp located downwards, a myriad of hissing sounds could be heard. Countless ck lights shot up from there towards Saminagas direction. Including Valefor, the other demon gods a formed up behind him, each of them transmitting the power of his own demon god pir. The demon god pirs emitted different radiances, each of them originating from their own ns original incarnation. Seven great shadows spread their brilliance in the sky, and its greatest attack erupted to bombard the Tower of Eternity. The seven great demon gods joint attack created a spectacr scene, of a kind that was unseen for several years. Even as the wielder of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, the Divine Knight Long Tianying was caused to drop down from the sky by the shock. Saminaga was already fighting as if his life depended of it. His previous shrill drew support from the whole Fiend ns power, originating from his Fiend Blood Link bloodline magic. Through this spell, he was able to instantly transfer a part of each of his nsmens strength tounch his ultimate blow. In this Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass demon camp could be said to be the root of the Fiend ns forces. The boost they gave to Saminaga was as great as one may well imagine. Adding to that the amplification from the demon god pirs, it enabled Saminaga to use his strongest attack everunched. He had no other choice but to fight at all costs. In case the Domain of Death ended uppletely swallowed, the twelve Specter Kings would be fully absorbed by the Tower of Eternity. Then, Saminagas cultivation would be reduced by half. To say nothing of the internal wounds induced, he would never be able to keep the fourth demon gods seat due to that. So, he would rather use his bloodline magic to transfer power from his nsmen, and weaken them greatly, to try the utmost to preserve his own domain. The united attack of the seven great demon gods was really terrifying. This was already far beyond the power of a forbidden spell. The incandescent heat surrounding the Tower of Eternity twisted frantically, but didnt show the slightest resistance to the seven demon gods act of joining their forces. It just continued to swallow all the death force it could swallow, including the remnants of the twelve Specter Kings. Quickly, a brilliance with the power of seven forbidden spells came to bombard the Tower of Eternity. Watching from afar, Long Tianying had even lost his ability to breath. To his great shock, he saw that Long Haochen was precisely inside that golden pagoda! And the pagoda itself didnt seem material at all, solely formed of energy. But he was just a single person. Even if the strength of a Divine Knight was even greater, he couldnt possibly resist the joint attackunched by seven great demon gods including Saminaga and Valefor. The terrible pressure and fluctuations of spiritual energy made him unable to even approach the area. But Long Tianying immediately dropped his jaw. Right when the seven brilliances were about to bombard the Tower of Eternity, the incandescent colored light suddenly disappeared at the speed of light and without suffering the influence of the seven great demon gods power in the slightest. In the midst of the disappearing white light, that pagoda and Long Haochen both totally disappeared. The joint full power force of the seven demon gods was was redirected into the air, guided to a high altitude. Their joint force was certainly terrifying: it bore the full original power of the demon god pirs! The whole sky almost instantly became seven-colored, and remained that way for a long time. One could clearly see that all the clouds in an area of a thousand miles had disappeared in an instant. Only the seven-colored glint was glittering unceasingly. The seven demon gods groaned at the same time, especially Saminaga who spurted out another mouthful of gray blood, his face looking as pale as paper. But this time, he didnt dare take a rest, and moved both his hands extremely frantically, absorbing the broken pieces of the Domain of Death and the leftover fragments of the twelve Specter Kings. This time, Saminaga didnt even have any tears left to shed. Over 40% of his Domain of Death had been swallowed in this very short time, and the twelve Specter Kings were not only in pieces, but the souls of seven of them had already been taken away. And this was after the seven great demon gods promptly utilized their full power to strike thest blow. Otherwise, with just a bit more time, the Tower of Eternity would not have left him the slightest trace. Even Valefor who coveted the seat of the fourth demon god didnt have the mood to take delight in Saminagas misfortune. He wasnt any less shocked than Saminaga. That was a Gold Foundation Knight! And furthermore, the divine tool he was using before should be a shield. Just how did it be a pagoda? Could this Gold Foundation Knight actually have two divine tools in his posession? And furthermore, this was already beyond considering an ordinary divine tool. It was just too terrifying the way it overwhelmed Saminaga! Ever since the start of the Holy War, this was the first time the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor felt such a threat from the humans. He never expected the Knight Temple to have such a powerful trump card in reserve. After attacking their camp by surprise, they even managed to plot against Saminaga! Saminaga lost a huge deal of power this time. Perhaps even fifty years wouldnt suffice to restore his prior peak. He was now filled to the brim with pity. The expressions on all the demon gods on stage were unsightly to the extreme, but they didnt execute the slightest action. The power they put in the prior attack came with an immense consumption for them. How about the Knight Temple? What did they lose in the previous raid? Even if unwilling to admit it, the seven great demon gods did have to admit that the knights had zero losses. Right, not the slightest loss. The seven great demon gods all acted personally, but not a single enemy was left. From this situation, only God knew what other trump cards the Knight Temple could have in reserve. They were demon gods, and not expendable soldiers. Their fright far exceeded their feelings of rage. No one wanted to be the next to suffer Saminagas fate. Therefore, they only stared blindly at the sky, seeing the wielder of the Divine Throne of Law and Order and suprememander of the Knight Temple, Long Tianying, return back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. But how could these seven demon gods know that at the very moment, the Knight Temples powerhouses werent any less shocked than them. Including Long Tianying, no one knew what had just happened. The lower graded knights were all aciming in great ecstasy. Everyone could see the great loss suffered by the demon side. However, the higher ranked knights were only filled with shock, amazement, and iprehension. They all saw that golden pagoda, but who knew what it could be? No one had even heard about the existence of such a powerful divine tool in the Knight Temple. Everyone was filled with questions, and Long Tianying was the same. But he was even more worried about Long Haochens safety. To mobilize such a terrifying power, just what could be the huge cost he had to pay? It could very possibly be at the cost of his life. But if the Tower of Eternity hadnt chosen to escape rather than bear thest hit from the seven demon gods, Long Tianying would be even more worried. And did Long Haochen have a real cost to pay? Right, this came with a cost, the cost of his spiritual energy bing in total turmoil. With a sh of bright light, Long Haochen directly appeared in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, and sat crosslegged out of subconscious mind. Cliques of white lights were frantically leaping up around his body, and a terrifyingly massive light elemental spiritual energy was rushing out from his body at an astonishing speed. Even if Long Haochen was even more unwilling to receive the assistance from the Tower of Eternity, he had no other choice by now. The Tower of Eternity had totally suppressed Saminaga without issue, to speak nothing of him, who was still at the eighth step. The current Long Haochen felt as if his body was burning like a raging inferno. The five spiritual cavities inside him were trembling frighteningly. And the light elemental spiritual energying from outside was extremely pure, but some aura of death was mixed in,ing pouring into his body. It needed the active filter from his five spiritual cavities to dispel all the aura of death. On this aspect, Long Haochen was iparably decisive. This light elemental spiritual energy was directly usable because of its overwhelming purity;the Tower of Eternity was after all created by the previous Scion of Light, Elux. The purity of his light element was absolutely no lower than Long Haochens. But Long Haochen didnt let the slightest shred of deathly aura invade his living space.

Chapter 520: The Tower of Eternity Descends! (III)

His encounter with the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was really important. The advices he obtained were even more tremendously helpful than the Divine Snail Shield. The need to be strict with himself was, as a Scion of Light, one of the most important lessons he could learn. Obtaining a divine tool only increased his strength, but without a strict behavior, the Scion of Light could also be contaminated and walk on a wrong route. Therefore, no matter what kind of force Long Haochen obtained, the most important remained for him to keep his own heart pure, and not let himself be contaminated by anything. Naturally, this implied that he couldnt let this deathly aura pollute his body. He had not the slightest desire to ept the inheritance of the Slumbering Cmity Elux either. A massive flow of spiritual energy came pouring in, and caused Long Haochens amazement because it was all pure, yet not highly concentrated, light essence. In other words, this spiritual energy was like the one already contained in him, and blended with him to perfectly be part of his strength. He had met with such a situation before as well, but it wasnt as intense and massive. He faintly came to understand that this should be one of the benefits provided to him due to the Tower of Eternitys great harvest. After the projection of the Tower of Eternity appeared, Long Haochen also had a foolish look on his face. A red-hot feeling immediately filled his whole body with burning sensations, as if putting him in a half-unconscious state. But his mental force remained far stronger than ordinary people, and so, he could perceive some of the external changes even in this situation. In his mind, the Tower of Eternity was like a living being, and not simply a building or a divine tool. In his struggle with Elux, Saminaga had simply been led by his nose all along. This was especially true in the way that the tower caught the twelve Specter Kings. Long Haochen felt a palpable greed from the Tower of Eternity. The whole area around the tower frantically swallowed the power of Saminagas domain as well as the innumerable specters inside. And to Saminagas despair, his all-out effort was totally fruitless. The Tower of Eternity just brought Long Haochen away, and even the fragments of scattered Specter Kings seemed to have be adamant to follow him back. Because of his close rtion with the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochens grasp of the situation was a lot deeper than Saminaga or Long Tianying. When the seven great demon gods joined hands to attack the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen could sense a great disdain emerging from the Tower of Eternity. But it still didnt choose to meet it head on. From this, Long Haochen was certain that the Tower of Eternity had the capability to resist that attack, but without a doubt, it would have had a massive cost to pay for that. So, the Tower of Eternity directly brought Long Haochen away, and not because of being unable to resist their force, but because it was not worth it. In other words, if the Tower of Eternity wanted to resist such an attack, it would need to consume a lot of its energy. And this consumption would be a lot greater than what he could gain afterwards. Therefore, for the sake of getting benefits, the Tower of Eternity deemed it unnecessary to sh, and took the easy way of bringing Long Haochen to leave through space. The lock of the seven great demon gods left him without other choices. Long Haochen had a chill when thinking about this performance of the Tower of Eternity. It was just way too rational, and totally based on the notion of profit, without consideration for the rest. And Long Haochen clearly perceived that the Tower of Eternity could at any time unleash power that was way beyond his capability. But in past battles, the Tower of Eternity only really helped him once, at the time he was on the edge of death, and only gave a minimal assistance. Thest time Long Haochen and Caier were confronted with danger and he gave his all to protect her, the Tower of Eternity hadnt made the slightest move. But this time, he just activated the teleporting ability, yet the Tower of Eternity chose instead to appear ande to his aid just because it sensed an immense benefit. This felt hard to bear for the kind-hearted Long Haochen. Today, the appearance of the Tower of Eternity gave him an increased understanding regarding this supra-divine tool. He faintly realized that even the soul memories left by Elux were unable to fully control the supra-divine tool in question, whichpletely had its own knowledge and judgement. In other words, even if he really ends up obtaining Eluxs inheritance, making an unprofitable or too costly choice from the point of view of the Tower of Eternity would end up being refused by it. If Long Haochen was someone that could be driven by lust, he would surely find the Tower of Eternity to be a twin-edged sword, though full of benefits to him. Using it was very simple, and only required him to maintain a win-win situation for the Tower of Eternity and himself. But Long Haochen absolutely didnt have such thoughts. He had no desire to maintain a win-win situation. This supra-divine tool was fully relying on the energy of death to strengthen itself, and Long Haochen was unable to approve its greediness. Today, although the Tower of Eternity grievously wounded Saminaga, and greatly intimidated the seven great demon gods, importantly, it also reinforced Long Haochens rejection of it, and reinforced his resolution to refuse Eluxs favors. Thanks to his great mental control, Long Haochen arranged the spiritual energy in his body in the shape of arge to absolutely stop any deathly aura from prating his spiritual energy. Only through a perfect filtering of the spiritual energy could he perfectly integrate the spiritual energy into his spiritual cavities. This inevitably made it take more effort to integrate the spiritual energy, but preserving the purity of his spiritual energy was more important by far. Long Haochen came to the vague realization that his butt was gradually feeling signs of a disturbance due to spiritual energy, which was the sign of the expansion of another spiritual cavity here. Chest, abdomen, the space in the midst of his eyebrows, and another in each arm were the five spiritual cavities that he had already opened, and these five supported his trunk and arms. Only, Long Haochen didnt expect that the process would continue so soon after he opened the arms cavities. Insight and perception all came fast and also leave fast. Hence Long Haochen would not let go of such a good opportunity. While absorbing the spiritual energy that came from outside, he paid careful attention to the stirred undtions. Even if he didnt manage to break through, this experience would be very advantageous for his future series of breakthroughs. Time passed, minutes after minutes, and noticeably, on the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, a series of golden glows of light continuously shifted from the surroundings to Long Haochens direction, and continuously blended into his body. A part of it was rejected while a part was absorbed, and at the same time, a faintly discernible brilliant light started to shine on his body. If at that time, Long Haochen had chosen to go for a deep meditation, he would very possibly have constructed in a spurt of inspiration his sixth and his seventh spiritual cavity. But unfortunately, he didnt have such ns for now. Thus, after the Tower of Eternity terminated its transfer of spiritual energy, he awoke from the state of cultivation. Taking a deep breath, his body started to float naturally. Long Haochen couldnt help but exude a pleasant surprise, but after that felt an air of unwillingness. He indeed didnt want to receive the help of the Tower of Eternity, because he didnt want to owe it anything. He went so far as to make the decision not to set foot onto the third floor of the Tower of Eternity. But, he was unable to deny that he could obtain extreme benefits from the Tower of Eternity. After breaking through the eighth step, although Long Haochen never stopped cultivating, to fill the spiritual cavities on his arms was not the matter of an instant. Even as the Scion of Light wielding the special physique of a gods chosen one, and therefore absorbing light essence much more rapidly than ordinary cultivators, amassing these 20,000 spiritual energy needed the time of about two years. After all, the measure of spiritual energy is not a simple number. For instance, gathering a bit of spiritual energy for a knight of the seventh step is totally different from gathering a bit of spiritual energy for a knight of the eighth step, since thetter is much more concentrated. In other words, the same notion of spiritual energy differs totally between the seventh and the eighth step. It can perhaps be the same in total volume and elemental contents, but the concentration will very clearly affect the wielded power in the battlefield. And that is one of the great strengths of Spiritual Hignd. After reaching the eighth step, Long Haochen had a total of five spiritual cavities, and the speed of increasing his spiritual energy actually became slower than before, because he needed a time of adaptation. But this time, or to be more precise, after the end of this session of cultivation, to his nice surprise, the two spiritual cavities on his arms became full at one third. Without need for any further effort, this time the Tower of Eternity brought him no less than 5,000 units of the purest spiritual energy. And this was after he filtered out a great part of it, otherwise this count would be even higher. Long Haochens current total spiritual energy was already nearing 37,000, which was quite a qualitative leappared to before. Turning back, Long Haochen gave the sculpture standing in the midst of the first floor aplex look. After calming himself down, he immediately teleported back. He didnt want to let himself feel any attachment for this ce. Every time he recalled the events of the past, when the Slumbering Cmity relied on this supra-divine tool to ughter an unthinkable count of humans, he felt great grief rise within himself. With a glint of bright light, when Long Haochen reappeared in the night sky, it had be totally quiet. By chance, the sh of light disappeared instantly, and because Long Haochen didnt spread his wings, his body started to fall almost instantly.

Chapter 521: The hope of reforming the Demon Hunt Squad

Falling down, Long Haochen pressed down both his hands and took a deep breath, causing his figure to float like a feather. The time was already close to daybreak, but the sky was still dusky. His light elemental spiritual energy would really look conspicuous and inevitably make him overly obvious, therefore causing issues to arise. So instead he used very challenging methods to control his own fall. This was all to avoid getting found out by the demons, the main reason being that he didnt wish for them to know that he would need to return to the original location after teleporting to the Tower of Eternity. If this secret was made known to the enemies, strategies will easily be nned to counter him, so Long Haochen preferred to be more prudent. Luckily, he wasnt too high in the sky. His distance to the ground was roughly four hundred meters, therefore a series of acrobatics and propelling movements enabled him to lower his falling speed. When he was on the eve of reaching the ground, he then assumed a curling position, and put all his strength in his feet to perform a kick. As a matter of fact, his current external spiritual energy was already over 20,000, making this full powered kick able to cause a huge shockwave and reduce his falling speed. His bodynded onto the ground in an oblique posture, and after a series of rolls, he was propelled forward. The Gold Foundation Armor on him having also helped to neutralize a great amount of the pressure from the fall, Long Haochen stabilized after the series of rolls, jumped forward and rushed toward the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. His powerful mental capacity showed its prowess in this situation as well, helping to conceal his figure as far as possible during the whole way to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. It was only as he arrived close that defenders from the Knight Temple found out about his return. A misunderstanding would naturally not arise: the Gold Foundation Armor on him was a symbol of his status, and moreover, he was the only Gold Foundation Knight that hadnt yet returned. Thus, when Long Haochen arrived in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, high surges of acmations and countless looks of respects were awaiting him. Large areas of knights were watching Long Haochen with passionate eyes, violently beating the chest of their own armors with their fist as an indication that their respect for Long Haochen was of the greatest order. This was their tribute to the newly appointed Saint Knight Head. Even the Divine Knight Long Tianying didnt figure out how Long Haochen severely wounded Saminaga, to say nothing about the ordinary soldiers. In their eyes, this powerful Saint Knight Head had defeated the other partys strongest demon god, and without being a Divine Knight. Therefore, in their eyes, it was as if the prefix provisional before his full title never existed. At the same time, this gave them an even greater confidence regarding this Holy War. When Long Haochen stood in front of Long Tianying, his grandfather suddenly realized that he had no idea of what he should say. He was able to feel that Long Haochen was totally alright, and should have escaped to another ne, but just how did he aplish that? There certainly existed some abilities that could shatter space for a short time after reaching the ninth step, but they required a very tranquil and stable environment to be used. But what about when Haochen passed through space? At that time, seven demon gods were joining hands against him, so who knew to what extent space was in havoc. But even in these circumstances, Long Haochen just crossed space; Long Tianying hadnt the slightest idea of how to exin this mystery. And Long Haochen was gone for so long, which was to say that he surely was at fixed spatial coordinates, otherwise, if he travelled back and forth in another space, he would forever have be unable toe back. Grandpa. Long Haochen performed a knight salute to Long Tianying. His attitude became a lot warmer than before: at the time he was attacked by Saminaga, he sensed how Long Tianying was trying hard to rescue him. And before teleporting away, he saw Long Tianying with his own eyes. How could his approval toward his own grandfather not rise from that? Long Tianying had a bitter smile on his face, I dont know what I should say right now. What was that pagoda that appeared and surrounded you at that time? After pondering for a short time, Long Haochen replied, I dont want to hide anything from you, but thats a secret I am not allowed to tell. I can only tell you that it can actually only restrict the Demon God of Death Saminaga and no one else. And I am unable to control it as well. It just appeared on its own. I am connected spatially to it, and it was the one that teleported me away. To Long Haochens surprise, Long Tianying actually didnt keep questioning him. His look became gentle, Is your body all right? Saminaga didnt injure you? Long Haochen shook his head, I am all right, and can return to the battlefield at anytime. Grandpa, the sun will rise soon anyway. The demons will probably beunching a retaliatory attack. I have already made my preparations for battle, and am waiting for your orders. Looking at him, Long Tianying became silent, then couldnt help but show a little anger, What order is there to give? Your judgement is wrong. I can tell you with certainty that today, we can be at 70% sure that demons wonte to attack. Didnt you see on your way back? Saminagas pir has already lost all its light. This time, you inflicted him with extremely serious damage: his Domain of Death was torn to shreds by your pagoda. Tell me whats good with you? Your grandpa Yang and I have already told you to keep your strength concealed to avoid exposing your identity. You kept concealed your abilities they knew about, but relied on the ones unknown to them to gain the spotlight right away. Given that you have two divine tools on you, how could the demons not follow you closely? I estimate that before long, the Demon God Emperor will know about your existence. Yet, how do you want me to keep sending you to the battlefield? You also said that that pagoda could only counter Saminaga. If the other demon godsunch another attack against you, whats to be done if you have an ident? Although Long Tianying got angry, Long Haochen felt instead his heart warming up. He could clearly feel the concern and worries in his grandfathers voice. Grandpa, then I will just be defending the city and no more. Even if the demon gods want to get rid of me while I am on the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, they would have to ponder over the issue beforehand. We may know that the pagoda can only counter Saminaga, but they dont! I think that the demon gods wont dare take such a risk. They should have learned their lesson from Saminagas experience. And that was really not my fault! Gold cannot be prevented from shining. And you should not want your grandson to be totally inconspicuous in the battlefield right? At that time, Long Haochen couldnt help but show a smile on his face, looking at Long Tianying quite shamelessly. Long Tianying also couldnt help but reveal a smile in response. He didnt smile a lot, but seeing this grandson before his eyes, he had really no way to keep restraining his joy. After this time of worry, he had to recognize the great points of his grandson. In fact, the slightest w could not be seen on Long Haochen. At an age below twenty, he had already reached the eighth step, and had two divine tools in his hand. Although he was not yet able to utilize them fully, considering his age and pace of progress, it really looked like he would be able to contend against the demon gods in a few years! He would surely be a great hero and leader that will create a new page on humans history. Taking a deep breath, Long Tianying replied, This time, we have totally filled these demons with fear. From our estimate, among the three Demon God Legions, almost all the Hell Demons should be dead, so, without any magic offense, the Demon Emperor Legions are like toothless tigers. And thats nothingpared to how Saminaga is now heavily wounded. He is the strongest of the demon gods outside, and as you said, they shouldnt dare act blindly without thinking after this. They will only maintain the previous situation, and as long as no reinforcementes, they shouldnt dareunch a decisive battle against us. For this reason, I dont n on letting you keep appearing on the battlefield. What? Long Haochen was immediately in high distress, Grandpa, you cant do that! Grandpa Yang and you should respect your engagements. If you dont let me appear in the battlefield, how am I supposed to gather those ten million contribution points? I have to reform our team, to make a ughter on the demon rear. Long Tianying stood up and slowly walked to Long Haochens front, with an indignant look on his face. His robust figure really looked imposing, and in front of Long Haochen, he gave off the same feeling as an unwavering mountain. Haochen, dont worry. I dont share the same thoughts as your Grandpa Yang. You are my blood-rted grandson, and my one and only grandson. You are the Scion of Light, a gods chosen one, and humanitys future hope. If you remain in safety under my wing, when will you be the humans leader and the leader that will annihte demons? You need to keep tempering yourself, and rise through hardships, just like you did before. I believe that you have the ability to defend yourself, and to create even more miracles. So your grandpa wont stop you from going to the battlefield. After two days of war, you made the enemies cower in fear one after another, making them lose the opportunity to recover arge amount of corpses, and severely wounding Saminaga. This will cause the demon armys momentum to crumble. I will record these two aplishments. As the head of the Knight Temple, I have the authority to award you with enough contribution points. So I decided to reward you with 500,000 contribution points, as a prize for having turned the tides of the war in these two days. 500,000? Long Haochen was shocked, but also happy, and couldnt help but worry, Grandfather, are you sure this doesnt count as favoritism? Nonsense! Long Tianying raised his hand to tap on Long Haochens head, scolding him with a smile, Ask around in our Knight Temple, and youll see that no one ignores that your grandfather is the most strict and impartial Divine Knight! I am the wielder of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, if I cannot even make a fair decision, how could I keep the approval of the Divine Throne? Be at ease, if anything the reward I bestowed upon you is rather low. Just think, if you didnt stay to the rear, how many of the fifty Mythril Foundation Knight that were with you would have returned alive? It is all because you spared no cost to risk your life to cover their back, and deserves these 500,000 contribution points. You gained this for your disy of bravery and self-sacrifice. Although I am very angry that you disregarded your own safety mole that, I can say as your grandfather and the head of the Knight Temple that you are my pride, my grandson who did not abandon his fellow soldiers at that time of danger, and used your actions to prove your bravery. Seeing his grandfather so moved, Long Haochens eyes started to moisten in spite of the situation. Despite his strength and willpower, he was still no more than a twenty year old boy. The gain of his grandfathers approval was really an important thing in his eyes. Long Tianying took a deep breath to calm down his moodiness, then continued, You did very well, but you really cannot remain here. Your light should be shining where it is needed. And our Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass has already no trouble defending strongly its position, plus youd be no more but a target here. So after thinking thoroughly, I came to the decision of giving you ast mission. Afterpleting it, you will be considered having gathered ten million contribution points, and will be allowed reform your Demon Hunt Squad. I should also be telling you that this time, your grandpa Yang has returned to the Alliance to discuss a n that could make full use of your ability to destroy demon god pirs. The Alliance believes that this is how your strength will develop the best. Hearing about the opportunity of reforming his Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen nearly hopped in excitement, Grandpa, please announce the contents of the million. No matter what, I will definitelyplete it. Long Tianying replied, Dont ce your hopes so high. How could a mission equivalent to ten million contribution points be so simple? You can rest first, you will be leaving for the sake ofpleting this mission tomorrow. This mission is notplicated, and you will be able to aplish it single-handedly. With the status as Saint Knight Head, you will have to join the defense of every of the five Temples defensive forts, and umte at least a million contribution points in every of them, or make a great aplishment of yesterdays degree. After you finish that for every of the five defensive forts, you will automatically be gathered with your otherrades. At that time, all of you will be sure to receive a new mission from the Alliance. Understood? Happiness alwayses all of a sudden. For a moment, Long Haochen was unable to show any reaction. Leaving for the other five Temples to participate in their battles, and reunite with hisrades one after another was without a doubt a much simpler mission than the one consisting on simply gathering ten million contribution points. And moreover, being able to join his otherrades one by one was more than he could wish. For a moment, Long Haochen was somewhat speechless due to excitement. Long Tianying smiled in reaction, Is it the idea of heading to the Exorcist Mountain Pass to see your girlfriend that makes you so happy? Right, wasnt the Exorcist Mountain Pass controlled by the Assassin Temple the closest to there? This was the ce where Caier was!

Chapter 522: Surprise attack! Caiers crisis (I)

His grandfathers remark lifted Long Haochens mood momentarily. He didnt try to conceal his current feelings and nodded strongly in response. Long Tiangying gave a light sigh, You youngsters really had a hard time. If not for the demons, your grandpa would be in favor of your wedding. Treat her well, old Sheng Yue really doesnt have a good temper. In terms of seniority in their own Temple, Sheng Yue actually rated higher than Long Tianying. But in terms of cultivation, Long Tianying was definitely stronger in addition to possessing a Divine Throne. Long Haochen nodded repeatedly, Grandpa, can I depart right now?! Long Tianying unhappily replied, You cannot. Wanting to see your wife is one thing, but dont you want to keep your grandfatherpany a bit longer? Until you depart tomorrow, just stay with me. At this reply, Long Haochens surging feelings calmed down gradually, Grandpa, I Long Tianying waved his hands to him, I understand. At your own age, who knows how much more rebellious than you I was. You are already doing very well, but keep in mind that I really care about your safety. You are my one and only grandson. You have to take good care of yourself; not only for the Alliance but also for me. If the Alliance loses you, it will be the loss of a great talent, but if I lose you, it will be the loss of my precious kin. Do you understand? Long Haochen remained silent, and slowly approached him, giving Long Tianying a very big hug. Long Tianying had a smile on his face. After so many years, it was the first time he showed such a sincere smile. He finally realized now that he really had a grandson of his own. Precisely as Long Tianying expected it, after the sun rose, the demons didntunch an attack. But the demon camp was greatly busy, transferring the heavily wounded troops from the Demon Emperor Legions while helping the dying and healing the injured. But of course, those three forbidden spells werent totally devoid of benefits for them. At least, the non-carbonized corpses were treated as food, and their armies were served a good meal, with the Demon Emperor Legions as the special ingredient Because of Saminagas serious injuries, he immediately entered seclusion inside his demon god pir, and the authority over the demon armies returned to Valefor. But at this time, Valefor didnt dare keep applying pressure to the Fiends, and the reason why he didnt immediately give the order to attack was because they had obtained a sufficient amount of food, and more importantly because of the current state of weakness of the Fiends. Saminaga transferred all the deep strength of all his nsmen tounch a terrible strike and put them in an extremely weak state. And in fact, the air force of the demon armies was almost exclusively formed of Fiends. Under such circumstances, how could theyunch the attack against the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass? Through this battle against Long Tianying and Long Haochen, Valefor fully recognized the powerful assets the humans had, and therefore didnt dare act rashly. At least, they needed a time of rest and reorganization. One dayter, at sunset, two figures came out soundlessly from the Dragon Resisting Mountain, making sure of their direction. Then, they headed southward under the raging wind and snow. Neither Saminaga nor Valefor knew about it, but the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple who brought them countless surprises was already gone. At this time, the Dragon Resisting Mountain had Long Tianying as the only Divine Knight present to take watch. Of course, the Knight Temples real trump card was not Long Haochen! Since Long Tianying dared keep the current troop arrangement against the demon armies, he naturally had ability of his own. Exiting the Knight Temple, Long Haochen and Han Yu were in high spirits since they were finally able to reunite with the others. Long Haochen understood that although on the surface, his grandfather was assigning him a mission, in actual fact, given that Long Tianying didnt even check his current amount of contribution points, Tianying had no way to know in the end whether he would really obtain a million contribution points at each defensive fort. Therefore, after departing from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, it could be said they just have to reunite with all theirrades. Everyone was separated for a year and a half already, and his longing for reuniting with them already surpassed everything else by far. Moreover, the first one they were proceeding to was the Exorcist Mountain Pass upied by the Assassin Temple, the ce where Caier was! Long Haochen obviously realized that he had difficulty calming himself down. The strong excitement even caused the spiritual energy in him to fluctuate irregrly, influencing to some extent his absorption of the external spiritual energy. Even so, he was unable to control his emotions. Caier, are you still well? It has been a year and a half, have your memories recovered already? Can you now remember me? Thinking to this point, Long Haochen was really wishing to grow some wings to rapidly fly to her location. They left the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, and although they were heading to the southern Exorcist Mountain Pass, they had to head to the southwest if they wanted to go through the Temple Alliances territory. After all, the demon armies were ring at their frontiers like tigers eyeing their prey, and they didnt want to encounter troubles. By going through the territory of the Temple Alliance, with the Exorcist Mountain Pass serving as the natural barrier, they could put their whole energy to hurrying their trip, and proceed quickly to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Given Star Kings strength, it was absolutely no issue for him to carry two people, not to mention that Han Yus body was also of light attribute, his innate internal spiritual energy reaching eighty. Therefore, Star Kings affinity to him was second only to Long Haochen. With Long Haochen supplying him directly with spiritual energy, he was flying toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass at his fastest speed. Exorcist Mountain Pass. The Holy War had been going on for a year and a half, and the war was bing increasingly bitter. Within the Six Great Temples, the one that had the hardest time with the demon offenses was the Southern Mountain Pass, but the second one was the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Every human defensive fort was under the watch of one Temple, and whenparing the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple, although a gap existed in their global strengths, this gap was actually not very wide. Yet the Exorcist Mountain Pass had a tough time, and that was because of their own specialities. Although the knights couldnt use their mounts in situations of defense, they were after all heavy armored warriors or heavy infantry, and were like a metallic barrier protecting the city. But the assassins are not capable of that. In terms of offensive potential, assassins surpass knights by far. But in defensive power, they are also much inferior. They were specialized in concealment, assassinations, and taking a head in the midst of countless enemies. However, continuous attacks and defenses are not their strong points, especially in such defensive battles. For this reason, the Assassin Temple encountered catastrophic losses in this war. If not for the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment standing on guard inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, it would have perhaps been already broken a few times through. The Knight Temple gave a considerable assistance to the Assassin Temple, but the Holy War was taking ce on six fronts simultaneously. Therefore, each Temple had to ensure its own defense before it could afford to help the other ones. Amongst the seventy-two demon gods, the top three demon gods and their ns had yet to appear in the Holy War, and the fourth and sixth were assigned to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. With the Knight Temple having to endure such a massive pressure, itcked the strength to help the Assassin Temple. Since a year and a half ago, the casualties amongst the Assassin Temples high ss warriors already reached one third. Under Sheng Yues lead, almost everyone was injured. Some of the powerhouses belonging to the older generation of the Assassin Temple were also thrown on the battlefield one after another, to fight the enemies to the death. Almost every time they repelled a demon assault, the Assassin Temple had to expend a massive cost. At the current time, the head of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue, was standing on guard in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, which is a natural stronghold as well. It had no need to envy to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass: its position inside the mountain range it stood in meant there was no need to fear a demon encirclement. It was sufficient to block the demon armiesing from one direction , butpared to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, its natural defenses were a bitcking. It did not have the same kind of vile environmental conditions, and was not so highly elevated either. The walls of the Exorcist Mountains fortress had already disappeared, the war having mostly destroyed them. The mages that were still unleashing magic were fewer than fifty, and they were thest bits of magic force the Exorcist Mountain Pass had left. Almost all the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were standing in front of the enemies, defending the fortress. They had even forgotten for how long they had been defending this position. But by chance, just like the Exorcist Mountain Pass had sustained severe damage, the same went for the attacking demons. In recent months, their frequency of attack was not as high as before. Caier was currently near the Exorcist Mountain Pass fortress, d in ck, and without external armor. Her eyes were ice-cold, and after a year and a half had passed, she had already be a grown woman. Her build was more slender, well proportioned, and one could see on her almost any asset a female body could have. Compared to the time she separated with Long Haochen and the others, the current Caier was much colder. Although it was by far iparable to the time before her loss of memories, at least the battle before her eyes was now insufficient to instill feelings of terror in her. Sheng Lingxin and Sheng Yue were on the other side, theirplexion visibly very pale. Thick bandages could be seen wrapped around their right arms: in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, they didnt have even one priestso they could only rely on doctors to treat the injured. One could well imagine the criticality of the situation. Great-grandfather, shall I go? Caoer suddenly turned back to ask Sheng Yue. The demons were already attacking the fortress, and both sides were immersed in desperate close quarters battles. It could be seen from this that the current Exorcist Mountain Pass defensive battle was at its critical point, otherwise how would they have let the enemiese close to the fortress? The main forces of demons attacking the Exorcist Mountain Pass was formed of Demonic Birds, Dual-Headed Demonic Vultures, zing Demons, Demonic Wolves, as well as a huge volume of Dual ded Demons and Demonic Eye Soldiers. Against such a formation, although they had way fewer powerhouses allocated whenpared to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, they won in the numbers. And just for these reasons, they had plenty of corpses to serve as food.

Chapter 523: Surprise attack! Caiers crisis (II)

Among them, the Demonic Birds and Dual-Headed Demon Vultures formed their aerial forces, the Demonic Wolves led the Dual ded Demons on the front, and the zing Demons and Demonic Eye Soldiers formed the rear. On the other side was a mix of assassins, warriors and knights, with the knights and warriors standing in the front and the assassins putting all their strength on killing or injuring the enemies. But through the course of the long Holy War, arge amount of mages and priests died at the enemies hands, and the remaining soldiers were having an extremely difficult time resisting the demons. In particr, the attacks from the Demonic Eye Soldiers and zing Demons inflicted extreme wounds to the soldiers. Therefore, many times the Assassin Temple had to organize suicide squads to deal with them. But the demon godsmanding the other side were no easy people either, and had made their preparations on how to respond long ago, forming a specialized unit formed of various powerhouses to target these suicide squads. Just like in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the powerhouses of the ninth step of both sides wouldnt rashly join the battle. They were mainly restraining each other and serving as mutual deterrents, but in such a murderous Holy War, this was extremely prejudicial to the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass which was already close to copse. However, the Demon God Emperor gave the demon armies the order for a prolonged war to exhaust the umted human forces, and to avoid by all cost to invade the territory of the Alliance rashly. This was because he didnt wish for the human world to be thoroughly destroyed. But this evidently didnt stop their destruction of the forts and damage to the human armies. Compared to their own troops, the demons visibly preferred having the much cleaner humans as food. Sheng Yue nodded to Caier, Pay attention to your own safety. Yeah. Caier replied that way, and her figure flickered, shifting from the area high in the Exorcist Mountain Pass to the battlefield below. After such a long time passed, she had adapted herself to this ce since long ago, and adapted to a lot of matters after her loss of memories. A pitch-ck ray streaked across the sky, and carried along a freezing atmosphere, causing the nearby temperature to drop greatly. The ck-d Caier had her purple hair fluttering. The immense Sickle of the God of Death appeared soundlessly in her hand, and a dense, dark colored light burst forth from within it. It unleashed an immense ck colored de projection as her figure appeared from nowhere. The Dual ded Demons that were frantically climbing on the walls of the Exorcist Mountain Pass were cut down as if they were wheat, and every enemy that entered into contact with that ck colored de edge were instantly reduced to pieces. Her intense murderous spirit extended, asrge areas of lower ranked demons were directly cut up by her Sickle of the God of Death. Caiers awakening as a gods chosen one differed greatly from Long Haochens. Thetters was as the Scion of Light, and provided a general boost, including the blessing of the Goddess of Light. As for his affinity with the light element, it was raised to a whole new level. But Caier wasnt the same. After awakening as a gods chosen one, her greatest gain was the transformation of the Dagger of Samsara in her hand into the Scythe of the God of Death. Since childhood, she had been united with the Dagger of Samsara, going through a lot of pain and torment. This way did she gradually be one with the divine tool, a process which could be said to epass Caiers whole training process. Therefore, the degree of her union with the Dagger of Samsara surpassed the one between Long Haochen and his few divine tools by far. In terms of personal boosts, Caiers awakening was notparable with Long Haochens, but in the aspect of the divine power bestowed, Long Haochens awakening was the one falling far behind. In front of the doors of the city, which were bright red with blood, the purple haired Caier swept everything around her as she appeared. After losing her memories she didnt give out the same feeling of total coldnesspared to before, but instead, at every use of the Sickle of the Goddess of Death she seemed to have that temperament back in her. The killing intent materialized outside Caiers body rushed forth, causing both the powerhouses from both the demon and allied sides to step back unconsciously. With Caier in the center, an empty area was created with a diameter of ten meters. She was expressionless, an absolute beauty whose eyes were filled with unlimited murderous spirit. For a while after she returned to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Caier was actually extremely reluctant at the idea of causing ughters. After all, after her loss of memories, she had the mindset of a young girl. How could it be so easy to make her ept the idea of causing ughters? Even with the influence of the Sickle of the God of Death, she was, deep inside, really against that idea. Therefore, Sheng Yue specifically made her stay in the camps for the wounded for a long time, assigning her some simple, assistive work after her daily cultivation. There, Caier saw far too many atrocities that she would never be able to forget. The first time she came, she saw a soldier that lost both his legs and one arm, and pierced his own heart with a dagger wielded by hisst remaining arm. The suicide note he left was delivered personally by Caier to Sheng Yue. The content of this note was:?Niuniu, Doudou, papa loves the two of you. However, I cannot apany you anymore. The abominable demons are attempting to invade our homnd, so papa is defending our Alliance with his own life, alongside hisrades. The Alliance is everyones home, an honorable ce for papa to die. But papa really hates to part with the two of you, and deeply wishes to see your mother and the two of you! Papa really wants to return to those times, letting the two of you sit on my legs, as I embrace you, giving kisses on your little cheeks, and feel your snivel flow on papas face. Papa is thinking of you, but cannotst any longer. I wish I could hear mamas voice Papaspensation payment should help to support you as you grow up. You have to remember that papas death was for the sake of the Alliances fight, humanitys fight. Papa hopes he can be your hope. If one day, the Alliance needs you, papa hopes you could?pick up?weapons?and stand courageously in front of the enemies on the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Your father that loves you forever. After she finished reading the note, Caier remained lifeless for half an hour. After that, all the fear that was in her eyes and heart disappeared. In the camps for the wounded, she didnt fear getting dirty or tired, and did her best to help the wounded. Thissted for a period of three months. Three monthster, Sheng Yue went looking for Caier with a copy of that suicide note in his hand. He told Caier that thepensation payment was sent along with the original suicide note. That instant, Caier threw herself at her great-grandfathers arms, unable to hold her tears. Sheng Yue only told her calmly that the ordinary soldiers were all defending the human territory with their blood and life, willing to pay the cost of their life to defend their families, and chose to kill themselves rather than bing a burden for the Alliance. As the Saint Daughter of Samsara, an iparably gifted person, could she only stay in these camps for the wounded? To kill an enemy means that there is one less enemy to attack their side, which means there will be less wounded and deceased. She should instead use her strength in the battlefield. As long as the demons are here, the tragedies wont be over. As Caier stood at the head of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the fear filling her heart waspletely transformed into hatred and disgust, and the murderous spirit in the Sickle of the God of Death descended once again. As the thunderous ck figure rushed out, arge amount of low-ranked demons were smashed to pieces. Caier was just like a ck phantom, appearing wherever the enemies are the most dense and the situation the most dangerous. Everywhere she passed, the Sickle of the God of Death swept everything before her. Who knew how many demons died in her hands. ng.?The Sickle of the God of Death was swept horizontally, appearing the same as a dark-golden electric light. Caiers body then finally came to a stop, focusing her eyes on a powerful Birdy Demon letting out a dark golden luster. This Golden Birdy reached at least the seventh step in cultivation. Pointing his sharp spear at Caier, he was totally surrounded by light. pping the wings on his back, he hoveredclose to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. An ice-cold chilliness shed through Caiers eyes, and the next instant, she disappeared. The terrifying killing intent caused the surroundings to darken, and that Dark Golden Birdy Demon almost immediately thrust its spear at his back. Ding! Bam-dam. This dark golden spear quite close to the power of a human Legendary Weapon. But against the pitch-ck des edge, it was sliced like tofu, and the pitch-ck scythe made its way into his shoulder, cutting the whole body in two. Only then did Caiers figure reappear. Besides being at the seventh step as well, the Birdy Demon was no threat in her eyes. Her offensive power was enormous, to the extent that Long Haochen was no match while still at the seventh step, let alone those demons. The instant right after she beheaded this Birdy Demon, she felt suddenly an ineffable sense of danger, and turned her posture towards the demon camps direction. At least hundreds of light rays suddenly condensed from that direction, shooting straight at Caiers direction. These light rays covered an enormous scope, to the extent that even with Caiers speed, she couldnt make it in time to dodge. Not only that, but outside from these light rays also came many immense fireballs falling like a torrent. Quite obviously, that Birdy Demon was just a bait. After being baited out from the Exorcist Mountain Pass scope, she suffered a surprise attack,ing from the union between Demonic Eye Soldiers and zing Devils. There were at least two hundred which attacked right after Caier appeared. Caier had already rampaged quite a few times in the area of Exorcist City, and everytime she appeared, the demons suffered immense damage. The count of powerhouses of the sixth step or above that died in her hands was already close to a hundred, including three that were at the eighth step. Such a damage attracted the demons attention a long time ago, and at the same time, gave her great military glory. In front of these aggregated darkness elemental attacks, Caier didnt show the slightest panic. Assuming a crouch, she was immediately surrounded by a hazy ck fog. The Sickle of the God of Death was raised high above her head and made a sudden hacking motion. Chapter 524

Chapter 524: Surprise attack! Caiers crisis (III)

Right, Caier didnt dodge, but made instead such a simple motion. One could clearly see that the instant the Sickle of the God of Death reached the ground, Caier disappeared sudddenly, along with her weapon. Only an immense projection of her des edge was left. The sky around her suddenly distorted, and therge amount of iing magic rays scattered in all directions due to the distortions, and at the same time that immense de edge pierced through the sky, repelling all the other projectiles in the air. This was the power of the Sickle of the God of Death. Although Caier was only at the seventh step, she could, by relying on it, deploy on a small scope a power simr to a domain, influencing all the enemies attacks. The Sickle of the God of Death had a lot of features, among which the most powerful two are overwhelming power and purity. Overwhelming power is just as mighty as it sounds: its a sharp aura of death that forcibly repels and nullifies any magic which would get in front of the sickle. Caiers figure reappeared, with a pair of spiritual wings that became a lotrger than before, bringing her back to the citys head. Although she really wanted to kill these magic wielding demons that were gathered below, her reason told her that this wasnt a good idea. Right when Caier was about to turn towards the citys head, she suddenly came to a standstill. Immediately, she had a sort of sticky feeling, which was really ufortable. She felt sluggish, and felt her spiritual energy being instantlypressed greatly. Whats happening??Caier was greatly shocked, and instinctively poured her spiritual energy into the Sickle of the God of Death. Right that instant, a ck dot could be seen, aiming at her forehead. This ck dot was extremely fast, to the extent of being invisible to the human eye. Moreover, Caier was in a restricted state and was unable to devote herself entirely to defending against it. An enemys surprise attack! This was Caiers first thought, but the most shocking was that her perception and the murderous spirit of the Sickle of the God of Death were actually not able to detect the presence of this enemy. This thought only shed through her mind, and all she could do was to wield the Sickle of the God of Death in a defensive posture. Ding!?With an ear-piercing sound, Caier felt as if shed been struck by a gigantic hammer, and her mouth and nose started leaking out blood. Although it was the sharp edge of the Sickle of the God of Death that was used, this sufficed to cancel out the enemy attack. But even so, that substantial powerful spiritual energy shock couldnt possibly be entirely neutralized that way. Caier was entirely guided by her intuition, and seemed to have lost all sensation of her hands gripping the Sickle of the God of Death. The most frightening was that after suffering such a terrible shock, her body wasnt sent flying, but remained glued here with the same sticky feeling. And the enemys second attack was alreadying. Caier was in an extreme state of crisis. From the previous attack, she had determined that the enemy attacking her was a powerhouse of the ninth step. Only the spiritual energy of a powerhouse of the ninth step could escape her detection and produce such a powerful offensive power. As for that sticky feeling, it should be from the enemys domain. On Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Yue had been observing Caiers movement all along, and saw how she hade to a sudden stop. Right upon discovering that ck dot, Sheng Yue realized that the situation was no good. But this had happened just too fast. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldnt make it ina time to save Caier. An ear-piercing sound of breakage was heard, distracting the fighters from both sides. They discovered with shock that in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass City, arge hole was torn open in the sky, extending until reaching Caiers side. This attack cannotnd! Sheng Yue understood very clearly that Caier would definitely not be able to resist this second attack of the enemy. But even at full speed, he wouldnt make it in time to block the attack. Therefore, he could only lock his attack on the enemy. If the enemys attack reached Caier, Sheng Yues full powered attack would definitely inflict very heavy damage to him. But right at that time, against all expectations, Caier didnt resign herself to fate. Her hands were already numb, her body restricted by the domain, but she still had some resources for her self-preservation. A dense ck color shed through Caiers eyes, then her body disappeared all of a sudden. Then, the Scythe of the God of Death abruptly burst out with an iparably dense killing intent. A small crack formed suddenly on the formless domain of viscosity, and her weapon went through it. Against Sheng Yues expectations, the enemy that had ambushed Caier actually didnt pay attention to his attack, and maintained the ck materialized de projections second attack, which shed against the Sickle of the God of Death. In this ear-piercing collision, the Scythe of the God of Death shook violently, producing intense buzzes. Right after breaking away from the sticky domain, Caier was forcibly expelled from the Scythe of the God of Death. More precisely, in the previous instant, she became one with her Scythe of the God of Death, uniting their two powers as one. This was one of the powerful abilities held by the Scythe of the God of Death. Inside it exists a small space, where Caier could hide in times of crisis, and useable to dodge an enemys powerful attacks, relying on the tough material making up the Scythe of the God of Death to protect her body. Its just because of the existence of this ability that Sheng Yue could feel at ease when letting Caier run rampant in the battlefield. But the enemysst attack was powerful enough to forcibly expel Caier from inside her scythe. Caiers face became even paler. Remaining unscathed from such an impact was impossible, but both her arms had already recovered from the numbness. An ice cold killing intent was unleashed from her body, causing the surrounding sky to look dusky. An extremely mighty ck figure shed out from her back, and shot out a dark ray passing through the sky. First one of the seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood. Caier had since long ago a perfect control over this attack. The instant the terrifying aura of death burst out, the surrounding sky abruptly subsided, revealing the appearance of the enemy that had attacked her from the sky. It was a thin and human looking enemy. His figure looked like an illusion, but after he appeared, his whole body seemed to give off a sense of mystery. Sheng Yues attack was stopped in midair. In the midst of a massive shock a majestic enemy had appeared, with whom Sheng Yue was very familiar. That was the fifty-second demon god, zing Lion Allocer, leader of the zing Lion n. But in this sh, Allocer suffered arge loss. A scar over ten centimeters long was left on his chest, but Sheng Yues full-power attack was blocked. Only, Allocer didnt expect hisrade to be unsessful in killing Caier, instead suffering a counterattack. With a loud metallic sound, the ck demon trembled violently, as the weapon on his left hand was turned into fragments, but at this crucial moment, his body was split in two, one of the two parts being reduced to powders, while the other part was repelled over fifty meters back. This was an ability designed for conducting crafty escapes, used to counteract Death in Childhood. Clearly, the enemy didnt dare face off against Caiers Scythe of the God of Death. It wasnt Caiers strength that was a threat to him, but the powerful cleansing power of the Scythe of the God of Death that he didnt dare face. Retreat The ck demon let out a low shout, before stepping away, vanishing in the sky. The zing Lion Allocer also followed, turning into something close to a fire meteor, returning towards the demons main camp. Sheng Yue didnt pursue them, but hurried to Caiers side, standing on guard to defend his great-granddaughter, as he vigntly swept the surroundings. It was without a doubt two divine gods that had just came to ambush Caier. For the sake of neutralizing her, the demons went as far as to have two demon gods join hands in a surprise attack, and were almost sessful. Caier was takingrge gasps of breath. Holding back the enemys surprise attack and using the Seven Arts of the God of Death gave her an immense strain, leaving her in a wounded state. As Sheng Yue was prepared to look after Caiers condition, he suddenly had a shocked look in his eyes. That was because far off, a golden light was flying over towards their area. But its aim was not the Exorcist Mountain Pass, but the only route of escape of the zing Lion Allocer. This golden light was just too fast, and its blinding holy presence made its seem as if the sun was falling down from the sky. Its shining brilliance lit up the whole area, shocking the demons and human powerhouses that couldnt help but focus their eyes on the iing golden light. From a tiny dot of light, it started to take the shape of a human silhouette. And when reaching a distance close to a hundred meters from Allocer, it let out a burst of osciting orange radiance. One could clearly see a towering orange shield that came to strike at Allocers direction. Sheng Yues eyes opened wide for a split second, during which he made a retreating gesture to Caier. Allocer was in quite a bad shape. Sheng Yues previous full attack blow aimed at rescuing his great-granddaughter was not that easy to resist. Despite being a demon god of the ninth step, his fifty-second rank made his cultivation rather low among the demon gods. His internal spiritual energy was equivalent to a human in the lower stages of the ninth step, hence lower than Sheng Yue. And of course, arge gap separated their weapons. Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Counter Kill (I)

Sheng Yues bursting Spiritual Hignd not only wounded the surface of Allocers body, but also, Sheng Yues spiritual energys aura of death entered his body and would require at least ten days to half a month to recover. After withdrawing, and on the way to the main camp, Allocer suddenly sensed the arrival of an enormous holy aura, and furthermore it was visibly aimed at him. Whats that light aura??It came directly from the Exorcist City! Allocer was totally shocked, and didnt dare procrastinate. A tremendous fire suddenly burst out from his body, and, coiling around him, released violent undtions of spiritual energy. In his right hand appeared a sawtooth shaped longde, aiming to chop the suddenly iing enemy. Allocer was originally using dual des, but his other longde was destroyed by Sheng Yue. Even the demon gods wouldnt necessarily have powerful weapons. He had to change it frequently. That pair of longdes was at the low Legendary Tier, and had arge gap in power whenpared to Sheng Yues pair of Epic Tier daggers. The instant the immense orange shield was about to strike Allocer, it suddenly paused, and immediately, Allocer discovered with shock that an extremely sharp aura burst out from his opponents shield. That extremely strong mental force was not aimed at his body but his psyche. Allocer had a dizzy feeling, as that sharp mental force had thrown his whole mind in disorder. In such circumstances, his chopping Sawteeth zing de immediately became quite weaker. Bang!?The orange glow collided in response. During this violent sh, that meteoric golden silhouette became visible. In a fierce sh, he didnt lose out against Allocer, both parties repelling each other. But Allocers condition was visibly quite worse. When the orange shield collided with his weapon, although the opponent had great strength, his cultivation was not irresistible. But what broke the bnce was the st of light essence of incredible purity that came out from within the shield was precisely a light elemental Spiritual Hignd. Allocer was originally wounded, but suddenly suffering such a strike naturally made the wound even worse. mes burst out all the way underneath him, spreading incessantly to the whole sky. However, to his ease of mind, he could clearly see that behind this fully armored knight riding a magnificent Starlight Unicorn, a pitch-ck shadow shed through. It was that demon powerhouse who attacked Caier together with Allocer. After thest sh, he had once again mounted a sneak attack against the enemy. That fully armored knight visibly expected this. Shifting his stance back all of a sudden, his eyes swept along the horizon. Ding?A chirping sound was produced as the orange knights whole body released a great brilliance, propelling himself back along with his Starlight Unicorn. His shield also released a burst with an orange glitter, a clear sign that he didnt have such an easy time sustaining this attack. But right at this time, Allocer opened his mouth wide and, from there, released sharp, pitch-ck projectiles. No one would be more expert in grasping opportunities than an assassin. And this ce was nowhere else than the headquarter of the assassins. As the head of the Assassin Temple, how could Sheng Yue not understand this? As the powerful knight d in Golden Foundation Armor attracted the attention of the two demon gods, Sheng Yuepletely concealed himself long ago. The coordination between an assassin and a knight was a long tradition in the Temple Alliance. So, the instant Allocer collided with that Golden Foundation Knight, Sheng Yue didnt know how things would turn out, but he had the intuition that this knight would certainly create an opportunity for a surprise attack from him. And thats how things actually turned out. The powerful sword intent unleashed by the Golden Foundation Knight at Allocers psyche aggravated his injury, and he rxed from seeing his ally ambush the knight. All of this made him at his weakest this instant. Sheng Yues attack was a bit slower than the demon assassin. But this difference in speed produced a murderous result. Bang!?The zing Lion Demon Allocer let out a terrible shout. A demon gods body was certainly tough, to the extent that even Sheng Yues full power burst of power didnt split his body. But on his chest appeared a hole one third of a meter long. This injury looked fatal. However, Sheng Yue didnt n on letting him go. In the meantime, his other dagger thrust violently into the back of Allocers head. The vitality of a demon god was incredible, especially around his demon god pir. Therefore, he had to kill the enemy thoroughly, to guarantee that he wouldnt get up. Allocers death was quite sad. He absolutely didnt expect their surprise attack to end up in a counter kill, without even allowing him the time to borrow his demon god pirs strength before being inflicted with fatal wounds. At the time the explosive attack reached the back of his head, hisst hope of survival had disappeared. Sheng Yue was far more experienced than Long Haochens group, and was extremely spontaneous in that situation. After Allocers death, without allowing any time for his demon god crown to get away, Allocers body was bound by Sheng Yues spiritual energy. Due to the repression of his power, the demon god crown was unable to get away, and another zing Lion Demon God would hardly reappear in their ranks. It would take at least a year for the demon god pir to recover its vigor and sprout the seed of another demon god, to choose a new sessor. But if the demon god crown returned, it would almost immediately be able to look for a sessor, and transmit him a part of Allocers power. Speaking of which, the demon god crown from when they killed Andromalius was eaten by Haoyue, so Long Haochen didnt know what became of it. At the time Sheng Yues fatal attacks wereunched, the eye-catching orange shield once again blocked that assassin demon god, to prevent him from rescuing the zing Lion Demon God. Despite how it may seem, all of this had happened in a sh. From the surprise attackunched by the two demon gods against Caier to the death of Allocer, only a few blinks of an eye had passed. This was their first time cooperating, but they had a formless mutual understanding, with the perfect amount of trust and cohesion to produce such good results. The Golden Foundation Knight was riding his Starlight Unicorn, continuously drawing back in the sky. Every time he was forced back, the orange light gained in brilliance, and the shield kept blocking the iing attacks through Divine Obstruction. His mastery of the vocation of Guardian Knight came out perfectly. Although every attack of the enemy depleted a great amount of his spiritual energy, he managed to keep going for the necessary time. The enemy didnt have the time to prepare any more devastating attack, and could only helplessly look at the scene of Allocer being killed by Sheng Yue. Far off in the demon camps, the zing Lion Demon Gods pir as well as the seven others shone brilliantly, but on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the sky suddenly looked distorted, and a massive murderous spirit spread out in the shape of arge that went the demon gods way. The ck silhouette that was attacking the Golden Foundation Knight shed back, and fled in the sky, disappearingpletely. This side of the battlefield was closer to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, so the reinforcements from the Assassin Temple were visibly quite faster than the demon gods toe. If he didnt go now, he could only suffer the same fate as Allocer. Dont think that a powerhouse of the ninth step can persist for an incredibly long time in battle. The greater ones strength, the greater the danger involved in shes. Except for those with absurd defensive power such as the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor, the life or death of powerhouses of the ninth step was frequently decided in a sh in cases of fights between them. Retrieving his shield, that Golden Foundation Knight let out a low groan, spitting out some saliva. Resisting that assassin demon gods continuous attack was no easy thing. If he didnt have the Starlight Unicorn and his epic Gold Foundation armor to supply him with sufficient spiritual energy, even if his defense was maintained in the Spiritual Hignd state, his spiritual energy couldnt make such an advanced defensest to take more than three blows. In a situation of one versus one, this Golden Foundation Knight would surely have been lost, if he decided to fight to the death without considering escape. He and Sheng Yue didnt withdraw yet, only gazing at the demon god pirs lit up in the distance, as the twists on the air surrounding them became stronger, but not a single figure appeared. The corpse of the zing Lion Allocer was recovered by Sheng Yue. A demon gods Demon God Crown was a real treasure, which could supply a Magic Cannon for at least three years, or be used to make a piece of equipment at the epic tier. Woo, woo?The horn for retreat sounded, and therge demon armies on the offense immediately retreated in mass. Far off, the seven lit up demon god pirs also started to darken as well. Haha?Sheng Yue let out a loudugh, Feels good. This old man finally let out all his umted resentment. Sheng Yue was a character of bad temperament, and had to suppress himself all this time, because neither side wished to have the powerhouses of the ninth step join the battle for fear of causing casualties on an extremelyrge scale. Therefore, the powerhouses of the ninth step only stood opposite to each other but had yet to join the battle. So even if he was anxious, he could not take the initiative to make a move, and had even left the citys defense to Sheng Lingxins care. Until now, this senior heroic assassin felt unable to exert his strength, which was really an unpleasant feeling. Chapter 526

Chapter 526: Counter kill (II)

The sudden surprise attack directed at Caier made him make his first personal move, and by chance, his reaction was fast enough or Caier would really have suffered a tragic fate. The Sickle of the God of Death was certainly very powerful, but the gap in spiritual energy made it impossible topletely unleash the weapons power. More urately speaking, the more powerful the weapon, the more strength it requires from the user, to disy its real might. The following course of action felt unreal even to Sheng Yues eyes. In all of demon history, Allocer was probably the demon god that died the most easily. Allocers death was not only due to the obstruction of the Golden Foundation Knight and Sheng Yues surprise attack, but also because of hisck of preparation. Yet it all happened too fast, or else, he simply had to call out to his distant demon god pir, and he wouldnt have died in Sheng Yues hands. But unfortunately, not everything goes fairly in this world. Thank you, brother. These spoils of wars should go to you. Sheng Yue passed Allocers corpse to the Golden Foundation Knight without any stinginess. The Golden Foundation Knight shook his head, Hello, senior. I cannot ept this. The provisional Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple and twelfth Golden Knight reports to you. No mistake, this person who stopped two demon gods and created the opportunity for Sheng Yue to kill the zing Lion Demon God was none other than Long Haochen. Originally Long Haochen and Han Yu were on their way to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. But while they were still quite far off, Long Haochens senses detected arge battle going on here. He had Han Yu head to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while he rode Star King at a high altitude to see whether he could be needed somewhere. Although he didnt take Long Tianyings mission too much to heart, Long Haochen wanted to amass the most contribution points possible to the best extent of his ability. After focusing his attention on the area around the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he almost instantly found out about Caiers battles, the Sickle of the God of Death giving him the most direct indication. Long Haochen was really overjoyed at this news and was preparing to join her when she suffered the surprise attack. The following course of action was simple. Long Haochen united perfectly with Star King to hurry at the greatest speed, just like a golden meteor passing through the battlefield. It was toote toe to Caiers rescue, because of the immediate crisis she was confronted with. Extremely anxious, Long Haochen had already put out his whole strength. After experiencing many years of battles, he had a good ability to make predictions in the battlefield. Seeing Caier alright and the two demon gods retreating, he chose to appear in the enemies only path of return. This is how the scene of assassination of the zing Lion Demon God came about. Sheng Yues appetion as Brother made Long Haochen almost cry out loud. He was fooling an elder Therefore, wanting to hide his identity, he rapidly changed the subject, as this was not an appropriate time to reveal himself. Hearing Long Haochens voice and speech, Sheng Yue immediately had a suspicious look. This voice was quite familiar, but he wasnt able to identify it immediately. All he could infer from it was that this twelfth Golden Knight was of quite a young age. He already had the knowledge that the twelfth Golden Foundation Armor should be in the Knight Temples treasury, so this Twelfth Golden Knight should be a newly promoted Golden Foundation Knight. Yet he called himself Provisional Saint Knight Head. The status of the Saint Knight Head was, in the Knight Temple, only second to the Temple Head and auxiliary heads. How could it be held by a newly promoted Golden Foundation Knight? However, no matter how Sheng Yue was puzzled over this, he didnt have any suspicion toward Long Haochen, who had already used actions to prove himself. Lets head back to the city first. Sheng Yue waved his hand and flew back to the Exorcist Mountain Pass along with Long Haochen, as the tyrannical murderous spirits and twisted fluctuations slowly withdrew. This battle didnt end as a victory for the Assassin Temple, but getting rid of a demon god greatly stimted the soldiers morale. Sheng Yue faced the Exorcist Mountain Pass, raising high above his head the corpse of the zing Lion Demon God. Immediately, a surge of acmations followed from the Exorcist City. A lot of soldiers were stirred to the extent of shedding tears. Looking silently at the Exorcist Mountain Pass, already unrecognizable due to the damage, Long Haochen felt a great pain. As the trigger of this Holy War, he wasnt given anyint from the Alliance, yet who knew how many soldiers died in the battlefields. I will definitely thoroughly crush demonkind, so peace can reappear in the continent of Shengmo Dalu. There will be no more wars.?Long Haochen secretly pledged this to himself. In the meantime, he slowly started to chant an incantation. Sheng Yue looked at the nearby Long Haochen with shock. He could sense that from this Golden Foundation Knight started toe out extremely dense fluctuations of light essence. And the purity of this light essence reached a level he had never seen before. Long Haochens chanting voice was very gentle, and his incantation was very low pitched, but definitely didnt lose out in efficiency. One could see that around his body started to bubble forth numerous specks of light. Sheng Yue took a deep breath, and couldnt help but reveal a grateful expression, remarking in a low voice, Dont push yourself too much. Long Haochen was of course unable to respond to him, but his chant started to be clearer. Tiny specks of light started to surround his body. At first, there were only a dozen, each of which reached the size of a soybean, hardly remarkable. But as their quantity increased, everyone could sense with shock that the shape of a sphere of light started to form around him. At close and far distances appeared the same kinds of specks of light, gathering around Long Haochens area, and starting to spiral all around him. Sheng Yue started to fly to the opposite direction of the Exorcist City. Since this knight was invested for the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he had to guarantee his safety. What if the demons chose tounch a surprise attack? Not only him, but without need for his orders, a series of shadows swept outside the city, forming a protective barrier in the sky surrounding the Exorcist City, to guarantee the defense of Long Haochen while he chanted. At this very moment, Long Haochen was extremely focused and seemed to only be able to hear his own long and tedious voiced incantation, which could lessen his feelings of guilt. He had entered a fantastic state. When the chant had just started, the spiritual energy in his body was very dispersed, most of his spiritual energy having been depleted during thest battle. But after the golden specks of light started to fuse with him, he discovered with stupor that the spiritual energy in his body kept rising, calmly piling up inside him. He had originally nned to chant until he had recovered halfway, but afterpleting the half, the rest continued naturally. At this moment, his attention and senses were not on his own body, but were one with the air, assimting nature and light. The first time Long Haochen attained this state was in the Illusory Paradise. Ye Xiaolei had described it as a divine realm. God is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. At the current time, he wasnt an incantator, but a conductor, conducting all the light essence. He had as his support his deep kind-heartedness, and as his baton his sadness and dedication. He experienced deeply the gentleness, kindness, harmony, sacrifice, mercy, pardon andpassion associated to light, and this instant, his mind made one with the light element. This instant, he had be the Scion of Light in the true meaning. The power of light should never be used for ughters, so even if Long Haochen managed in the future to be a powerhouse of the Demon God Emperors grade, he would absolutely notmand light essence to do such things in times of attacks. The spell that he was using right now was using the concepts of pardon,passion and kindness as one, without the slightest selfishness or distraction, and sparing no cost to spread out his feelings of mercy. The golden dot of light forming a spiral shape gradually reached a high altitude, taking the shape of a huge pir of light exceeding a hundred meters diameter. At this time, the demon god pirs over the distant demon camp werepletely overshadowed, and the overwhelming light elements influence made all the demons shudder in fear. Although they could sense that this holy light was not directed at them, being darkness affinity demons, they could hardly contain their fear. No other grand scene followed after the appearance of this golden pir of light. Finally, Long Haochen chanted thest syble of his incantation, and from his body, a seven-colored light glowed. The Starlight Unicorn and he had already recovered their peak state of spiritual energy, but were still floating in midair, their eyes having be brilliant like never before. The sky was totally golden, and as far as the eye could see, everything had taken a golden color. A faint rain of light started to pour out of nowhere, falling gently and slowly. Everywhere the thin rain poured, people were given a gentle and agreeable feeling, and every drop of rain would turn into a very thin halo of light. Every drizzle gave off a soft feeling of warmth. At the start, this small warmth was insufficient to really be noticed, but rapidly, people found out that the soft rain gave her an immense feeling of carefreeness and tranquility. Everyone had the reflex of gazing at Long Haochen, riding the Starlight Unicorn King. Their feelings of excitement had gradually changed into feelings of tranquility. Then, they regained excited looks, filled with extreme feelings. Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Counter Kill (III)

In the eyes of many lower ranked soldiers, Long Haochen was like the descending god of light, bestowing his warmth and sweeping away all their pain and fatigue. A feeling close to worship started to rise instantly in them. The scope of the rain of light was reallyrge. Not only did it cover the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass, but even the location of the previous battlefield and the demon camp were engulfed inside. The demon god pir glistened once again. The extremely beautiful light in the humans eyes was a fatal catastrophe to the demons. Seven pirs of light spreading out simr auras of darkness soared to the sky, forming a dark red barrier using the seven pirs as base, englobing the demon camp. Without a doubt, the spell Long Haochenpleted had reached the scale of forbidden grade. And even Sheng Yue had never seen one of such scale before. At the same time, this was the most peaceful forbidden spell that Sheng Yue had ever seen. Some Saints of the ninth step from the Priest Temple could also release healing spells ofrge scale and at the forbidden spell level, but its healing effects would be much more direct than Long Haochens, and its effects also greater. However, it couldntpare to Long Haochens in terms of softness and scope. Englobing a third of the Exorcist Mountain Pass was the most a supreme powerhouse from the Priest Temple could do. And Long Haochens forbidden spell took not much time to produce such a rain. Sheng Yue had a deep reaction. Bathed in the holy rain, not only did his body draw benefit, but also his soul. It was cleansed, and his hearts wound healed. It had no less effect on him than on a wounded person that was made to recover by it. All negative feelings disappeared suddenly from the heads of the soldiers, and the injuries on their bodies slowly healed. Gradually, some of the soldiers started to kneel in front of Long Haochen and this scene rapidly spread to the whole Exorcist City. Not only the lower soldiers kneeled, but even some powerhouses of the fifth and sixth step. They werepletely purified of all bad things that had started to umte in them. As this miraculous rain descended in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, arge amount of wounded people were brought out on the outside ground, bathed in the rain of light. The whole Exorcist Mountain Pass was drizzling with a thin goldenyer because of this sudden event. The seven great demon gods who joined their hands to create this barrier also saw small ripples of golden light on their extremely dark barrier, symbol of its continuous purification. The seven great demon gods stood in front of their respective pirs with grim looks. They didnt have the feeling that they were resissting against a light elemental forbidden spell, but against a heavenly power. Caier was like the others, standing in the city and watching the Golden Foundation Knight from afar. Of course she would not kneel down, but her eyes were moist since long ago, and tears kept sliding down her whole face. Bathed in this rain of light, all her previous injuries recovered gradually, and the feelings repressed in her heart disappeared without a sound. If only one person could be able to tell the identity of this Golden Foundation Knight, that would be, without a doubt, her. She didnt recognize him from his aura, but recognized the shield that they obtained from their trip in the Swamps of Gloom! The snail carapace shaped spiral shield, letting out orange glows of extremely pure holy light. What else could it be than the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon? Its him! He hase, finally! This instant, Caier felt her heart being moved irreparably by the floating Long Haochen, and the memories buried deep inside her finally showed some movement, waiting to surge out at all costs. The seal that had repressed her memories for so long seemed to have finally loosened strongly. Why Why arent you letting me recall him? Just why??Caiers tears started to drip even faster, and at the sight of Long Haochen, she felt a great pain. This divine rainsted for no less than half an hour, and when the golden color gradually dispersed from the sky, an extremely warm sun came to view. In Exorcist City, acmation for the earlier kill of Allocer started to burst forth once again, this time even more loudly. Spreading out his wings, Star King glided through the Exorcist City. Sheng Yues figure twinkled, and rapidly joined Long Haochens side. But he found out with amazement that even after using such a powerful forbidden spell, the holy light aura spreading out from Long Haochens body was even more intense than before. Although no fluctuation of spiritual energy could be sensed on him, he and his Starlight Unicorn seemed to be supported by the power of light, supported by the power of light and one with it. Even Sheng Yue had never seen someone else reach such a state. Long Haochens fully used spell was called Holy Rain, a light elemental forbidden spell that he had cultivated in the cave. In terms of healing effect, this forbidden healing spell useable by knights was unable topare with the forbidden healing spell belonging to priests. After all, knights were not specialized in healing like priests. But this Holy Rain has its own features. The drops of rain are even more gentle in times of healing, and more easily absorbed. Furthermore, the long, steady period of healing and therapeutic relief would not only massively boost one sides morale and replenish physical power for the targets, but also get rid of negative feelings. In other words, in terms of healing alone, Divine Rain is quite below other healing forbidden spells, but it has many more uses. Furthermore, it requires only a third or a half of the full chant to start the forbidden rain. But its healing effect will vary with the strength of the user, and will of course have limited effects when used by a Guardian Knight of the eighth step. Right before, when Long Haochen used Holy Rain, its range, purity and global effects were far above its original effects. The instantaneous sh of insights and ignition of his emotions, plus the mobilization of his physique as a gods chosen one made his use of this spell close to perfection. Even among the top five demon gods, only the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God could use something of such scale. The powerhouses from the Assassins Temple that gave themselves the task of protecting Long Haochen returned to the city one after another. In town, Sheng Lingxin had long agomanded the soldiers to leave an open space for Long Haochen, and when hended in the city, the top powerhouses from the Assassin Temple all reflexively surrounded him. Having used such a powerful forbidden spell, they understood very clearly that this Golden Foundation Knight state must be in quite the weakened state. This was all the more reason to not let the demons take any opportunity. But of course, as it turned out, the demons currently didnt have forces to ambush him. When the seven great demon gods released that dark red barrier, they expended a lot of power. Even if the demon god pirs were great, they served at most to amplify the wielders strength, but their consumption of magic power remained considerable. What they faced was not Long Haochen but heavens might! Star King was floating, but his wings had both vanished. His first movement was to turn around to face Long Haochen, still sitting on his back. His limpid eyes were full of reverence and warmth. Master, I thank you. This appetion of master was chosenpletely willingly by Star King. He followed Long Haochen because of his identity as Scion of Light, and not because of his approval of Haochens character. The main point was that he could benefit from Long Haochens pure light element. Additionally, he sensed Long Haochens kindness. After following Long Haochen to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, Star King actually didnt feel really good. Seeing the Scion of Lights ongoing ughters, although the ones ughtered were demons, nheless his hand kept being contaminated with blood. But just a moment ago, Star King really became convinced by Long Haochen. As his mount, his perception of Long Haochens emotions as he put Rain of Light into use was second to no one else, including all the changes in his emotions. At the time Long Haochen used it, he didnt put his own bodys state in consideration at all, and that kindness deeply touched Star King, a light elemental magical beast of the kindest type. The one who received the most of Rain of Lights influence was Star King. The boundary that Sheng Yue sensed was also sensed by Star King. To him, this was the boundary of a Divine Unicorn! If one studied him attentively, he would see that the white hairs on the body of the current Star King already took on a thin golden color. That was the sign that his transformation into a Divine Unicorn had started. He believed that as long as he kept following Long Haochen, he would seed in evolving before too long. Long Haochen jumped down from Star Kings body. At this very moment, the spiritual energy in his body, including the energy stored in the Golden Foundation Armor, was all exhausted. But extraordinarily, he wasnt in a weakened state. At this time, he was like an ordinary person with only a reinforced mental capacity. Furthermore, his exhausted spiritual energy was quietly recovering. Without a need for him to act, the outside light essence will autonomously enter his body, and be of the purest kind through assimtion, while the rather impure light essence would find it difficult to approach him. This saved Long Haochen from the process of filtering. A total of eleven powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were around Long Haochen, including Sheng Yue. Aside from thetter, the others were all d in ck, the head being no exception. The demeanor of each of them was greatly imposing. Chapter 528

Chapter 528: To embrace Caier (I)

Just like the Divine Knights from the Knight Temple, these eleven powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were of heroic grade, having reached the ninth step. They were the real core of the Assassin Temples strength. The Knight Temples Provisional Saint Knight Head, the twelfth golden knight greets you, elders. Because of some special reasons, I am not allowed to reveal my name. Long Haochen gave the elders a knight salute. Including Sheng Yue, the seven elders returned the salute simultaneously, giving an assassin salute with the highest degree of respect. Sheng Yue gave a sincere response, Wee to you, powerful Saint Knight Head. The Assassin Temple will never forget everything you did for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. May the friendship between our two great Templesst forever. If there is any help you may need, the Assassin Temple under my wing will not spare any cost for you. Sheng Yues speech was sincere, to the extent that even Yang Haohan had never obtained such amitment from him. What he meant by these words is simple: from today on, as long as Long Haochen needs anything, the Assassin Temple will do its utmost to assist him. He received such an approval right because Long Haochens Rain of Light couldnte at a better time. In the Exorcist Mountain Pass were a lot of wounded, who not only suffered physically, but also mentally. And whats more, the continuous attack of the demon armies had made the faces of the soldiers assigned to the Exorcist Mountain Pass lose all color. The descent of Rain of Light relieved the soldiers from their exhaustion, and refilled them with self-confidence. And the healing of so many wounded gave the Exorcist Mountain Pass a whole new life. One could say that this powerful forbidden spellpletely turned around their disadvantageous situation. If Sheng Yue originally believed that the Exorcist Mountain Pass couldst at least one more month, he was now confident that they were able to fight the demons to death for one year. In Sheng Yues eyes, the most important point in Rain of Light wasnt its healing properties, but its cure of the peoples hearts, sweeping away all the haze in the soldiers hearts. That was the reason why Sheng Yue gave such a heavy promise. With this promise, the Assassin Temple will at least unconditionally assist Long Haochen in one matter, and that was no less than a sixth of the Temple Alliances force. Long Haochen had a nk look on his face, but didnt reject, only paying another knight salute to him. He didnt reject forplex reasons. Simply said, it was because of the Temple Alliances internal structure. Anyone could tell that if the Six Great Temples six vocations could be perfectlybined together, and the six vocations could be evenly distributed in each defensive fort, the defense against the demons would be even greater. But why is it that they never did so? In the Temple Alliances history, who knows how many elders attempted to make such changes. But it always failed, and thats because of the Six Great Temples self-protectionism. This was a helpless matter. If the Six Great Temples could harmonize with each other, what would be done about the many resources they had umted over so many years? Manpower and resources would need to be distributed. Although the Six Great Temples didnt really form six countries in the Temple Alliance, in actual fact every Temple had arge autonomy. The Demon Hunt Squads attempted long ago to tell the Six Great Temples about the benefits of coborating. But until this day, each of the Six Great Temples wanted to do things in their way. Each had their own territory and each had their own stronghold. Regarding this matter, Long Tianying talked about all this to Long Haochen for half a day. The Priest Temple was, among them, the most in favor of the fusion of the six. But aside from the Priest temple, the other five were almost all rather in disfavor, although the Knight Temples disfavor could be regarded as rather low. In contrast, the most violently against the idea were the Assassin Temple, the Mage Temple and the Spiritual Temple. Although, since the beginning of the Holy War, the Alliance had tried its utmost tobine the six vocations, in practice, each of the Six Great Temples used their own power as their foundation to resist demons. Long Tianying specifically told Long Haochen that at least for now, this issue was unresolvable. But this didnt mean it will be the case forever. To have the Six Great Temples unite for real, only one solution existed, and that was to reform a human country, a powerful empire with a centralized power in authority. Only this way could the six of them unite and form a whole. Of course, creating this country would clearly be an immensely difficult task. The idea of uniting the six Temples as one was almost unthinkable. Long Tianying finally expressed to Long Haochen his serious and earnest wishes. That if one day, he could attain a sufficient level of power and build enough influence in the whole Alliance, he may attempt to aplish this magnificent feat. This was also the hope of the Knight Temple, and the reason why Long Tianying decided to have him travel through each of the Temples. This was not about obtaining the support of these Temples immediately, but for him to understand the Six Great Temples. Long Haochen didnt entertain the idea of bing an emperor, but he knew about the importance the fusion of the Six Great Temples powers held to humanity. This Holy War had already damaged the Alliance severely, and although the demons damage was also great, their rule was under the Demon God Emperor alone, and their reproducing speed was really terrifying as well. If things kept going this way, humans could only keep being suppressed by the demons, and at best yield some of their territory. Therefore, Long Haochen didnt reject Sheng Yues proposition. Perhaps, thismitment could be of utter importance in some case of extreme need. Long Tianying made a deep analysis of the present situation of the Six Great Temples for Long Haochen. The Knight Temple was undoubtedly the most powerful, and the closest to it was the Assassin Temple. The Mage Temple and Warrior Temple had even better rtionships. In contrast, the Priest Temple and Spiritual Temple were rather independent inparison. So if one wants to unify the Alliance under a single centralized power in the future, the priority is to gain good allies, which means gaining the Assassin Temples backup. After that woulde the idea of influencing the other four Temples. Now was still a bit early to speak of this, but to Long Tianying that this couldnt be overlooked, not because of some plot they could have in mind, but for humans to finally be able to defeat demons. An individuals strength is always insignificant, and even if Long Haochen manages to obtain the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, can he resist the whole of demonkind on his own? The answer is no. To do that, he would need the support of the whole Alliance, and would only have the possibility ofunching a counterattack by holding authority over the whole Alliance. This feat was impossible to realize for the current head of the Temple Alliance Yang Haohan, and Long Tianying couldnt either, but Long Haochen had this possibility. With an identity as Scion of Light and a gods chosen one, he already had sufficient power to gain support. Moreover, the Priest Temple was already in favor of the fusion of the Temples. As Long Haochen returned Sheng Yues politeness, he recalled his grandfathers sincere wishes. Suddenly came a figure that pressed through the crowd of people, and wasnt stopped by the other heroic assassins. This figure immediately threw itself into Long Haochens arms, giving him a deep hug. Seeing this, the looks on all of the present heroic assassins faces became nk. Sheng Yue was totally shocked at first, but then had a grotesque look, finally realizing the identity of this Saint Knight Head that brought miracles. He understood his great-granddaughter just too well: aside from this kid, who else could she be so excited to see, to the extent of taking the initiative to throw herself at him? Even after losing her memories, his treasured great-granddaughter couldnt possibly have such a change of heart. But after realizing the identity of this Golden Foundation Knight, Sheng Yues shock became even more intense. Over this one year and a half, he had been giving his all in teaching Caier, who didnt betray his expectations at all, and grew at a frightening speed. Her cultivation already reached the sixth rank of the seventh step, and in Sheng Yues eyes, this cultivation speed should have overtaken that boys, which gave him a lot of pride. However, the reality was just that cruel. When this guy reappeared, he turned out to have already be a knight of the eighth step, and also obtained a Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier. Could this be a token of favoritism from the Knight Temple? Sheng Yue was already over a hundred years old, but wasnt senile yet. Was there a need for favoritism? His previous spell was already enough of a proof. Even if that forbidden spell was sneakilyunched through a scroll, it couldnt show its might without sufficient strength from the user. Moreover, he had personally heard the process of Long Haochens chanting. Couldnt this little guy have already attained the ninth step??This was Sheng Yues greatest doubt. And this only made his shock even greater. The previous promise was something he couldnt help but give. But in his heart, he had actually been unwilling to owe such a great favor to the Knight Temple. But now wasnt the same. The Assassin Temple owed such a favor to their own great-grandson-inw, one of their own people. However, the other heroic assassins didnt know what was happening. They obviously all knew about Caiers identity; the Saint Daughter of Samsara and a genius like none other that had appeared for over a thousand years. As the unconditional future sessor of the Assassin Temple and greatest powerhouse, Caiers survival in a battle against a demon gods while still at the seventh step was once again a proof of strength in the eyes of these assassins. Furthermore, in their eyes, Caier was a junior, but her coldness made her unapproachable by anyone else. Once again, this was an essential quality for an assassin to have. Chapter 529

Chapter 529: To embrace Caier (II)

But at this very time, she actually threw herself in the embrace of this knight. Could his charm be irresistible even to the Saint Daughter of Samsara? This just couldnt be! But these elders had many years of extensive experience and clearly saw Sheng Yues shocked expression change into a gratified smile. Since the head found that normal, then it could only be so. So they might as well stop thinking further on the issue. Since the other party gave such a great help to the Assassin Temple, they couldnt go up to retrieve Caier. The Golden Foundation Armor didnt block the sensation of Caiers soft embrace. Unlike when activating the previous forbidden spell or even assisting Sheng Yue in killing Allocer, the Saint Knight Heads hands trembled violently. Caier, Caier! Long Haochen gently called out her name, his voice still shaking. His emotions became so unstable that the orange glints on his armor started to undte irregrly. Cough, cough?Sheng Yue coughed, Saint Knight Head, you have just used a forbidden spell. Maybe you should take a rest in our Assassin Temple. This was a reminder for this couple of youngsters that this was the Exorcist Mountain Pass City, center of arge crowds attention. Actually, the most shocked spectator was situated on the secondyer of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Sheng Lingxins eyes opened so wide they nearly split. Seeing his daughter rush into a mans arms, he almost fell from the secondyer. He absolutely didnt believe that person to be Long Haochen. In his heart, Long Haochen was already his son-inw. But he subconsciously believed that a Golden Foundation Knight would at the very least be fifty years old. What was wrong with Caier? Could she have fallen for the hero? But as the military chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, what else could he do than stare at that? By chance, Caiers mother Lan Yanyu was still resting at home due to some injuries, or both husband and wife would be witness to such an embarrassment Sheng Lingxin secretly thought:?Caier, oh Caier You cant have a change of affection like that! Otherwise, how do you want me to justify myself to Brother Long, to Haochen??But seeing such a strong Provisional Saint Knight Head, howe he hadnt heard of him before? Did Caier and Long Haochen separate after hearing Sheng Yues warning? The answer was negative, and Sheng Yue and the other heroic assassins did not know whether tough or cry from what followed, seeing Caiers body disappear. Invisibility! That powerful assassin ability was being used to further the affection between a man and a woman Caiers body seemed to have faded away, but the tactile sensation was still present. Long Haochen was unwilling to part with her and kept embracing her, under the escort of the heroic assassins. And under the fanatical watch of the soldiers, Long Haochen rode Star King to head down toward Exorcist City. Assassin Temple. So its really you, brat. When Sheng Yue saw Long Haochen after his helmet was taken off, he still had difficulty believing his eyes. This private room was used in ordinary times for Sheng Yue to cultivate, so naturally, no one else woulde here to disturb them. After their return to the Assassin Temple. Sheng Yue had directly brought Long Haochen and Caier back to this personal room of his. Now, Caier was still clinging to Long Haochens side. After a year and a half of separation, she had be iparably unable to part with him. Although she still was missing her memories, she had already regained her feelings for him. Long Haochen wanted to kneel down to make his own salutations to Sheng Yue. In his capacity as Caiers lover, Haochen needed to pay homage to Sheng Yue and her elder rtives. Outside, he was representing the Knight Temple, but in this private room, he was only standing for himself. Enough, you are already Saint Knight Head, no need for such formalities. How did you cultivate to this level? It cant be that Yang Haohan and Long Tianying gave you some cultivation drugs with bad repercussions, but how else could you have cultivated so fast? At the sight of Long Haochen, even the severe Sheng Yue couldnt help but exim violently in admiration. That youngster was still below twenty, but already became a real knight of the eighth step. No wonder the Demon God Emperor would use him as an excuse to trigger this Holy War. Even if he didnt have the ability of destroying demon god pirs, his speed of growth would unavoidably make him a cornerstone of the future resistance against demons. Long Haochen replied respectfully, Great-grandfather, I have been in deep cultivation for a long period of time, then spent half a year to cultivate techniques. Sheng Yue gave Caier a helpless look, It looks like you are still no match for him. He seems much more hardworking than you. The boredom of deep cultivation isnt something just anyone can bear. Youngster, you cant have been deep cultivating for a year non-stop, haha? This heroic senior then started tough at his own joke, before stopping suddenly after seeing Long Haochen nod earnestly. What? So you really went deep cultivating for a year? You Sheng Yues wrinkles were twitching, Let it be, you two have a good chat. I wont bother you two any longer. He waved his hands and stepped across, disappearing directly from the room. Caier let out augh, Great-grandfather, youre so jealous. At the sight of the smile on her face, Long Haochens eyes shed with a faint trace of disappointment. He knew Caier just too well, and right for that reason, he determined from her facial expression that her memories werent recovered at all, and that Caier was still amnesic. Caier immediately discovered his change in mood, and lowered her head slightly, I am sorry, I just She was not left the time to finish the sentence, interrupted by a sudden hug by Long Haochen, who interrupted with a gentle tone of voice, No, I should be the sorry one. I did not protect you well. No matter what, seeing you again is really good. Caier drew herself closely towards him, with a soft voice, I dont know what my feelings were when I used to love you before that, but I am certain that I am still in love with you. That day, when you left, I felt like I had lost something important. Now that we finally reunited, I will go wherever you go. I will definitely convince great-grandfather, I dont want to have to look at your departing figure again. Long Haochen fondled her hair gently, Be at ease. This time, I am not only taking you with me, but we will also gather with the others, to reform our 64thmander-grade Demon Hunt Squad. Caier lifted up her head, surprised, You have the permission of the Alliance? I would say I have it. However, we will have to make enough contributions in every defensive fort. I think it should be enough for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If not, we will have to remain for longer. It is surely not enough. Right at this time, shadows shed , and Sheng Yue reappeared. Seeing him, Caier hurriedly let go of her embrace, and looked flushed, Great-grandfather, howe you are back? The instant they had just reunited was long past, so how could she not feel embarrassed? Sheng Yue looked furious, Whats wrong if I am back!? When I just left, I was thinking, what if after letting the two of you share a room, and meet again after a long time of separation, something were to happen due to the excitement? Whats wrong with me wanting to be the first to hold my great-great-grandson? But this wont do. Sheng Yues great-granddaughter needs to be officially wed before bearing a child. Great-grandfather, what are you speaking about? Caiers face became red like an apple, and appeared at Sheng Yues side with a sh, grabbing on his beard to pull it. Be a good girl, dont pull, I only have this much beard. Your great-grandfather needs to keep some of his image in front of others. Fool, I am doing this for your good! Arent you afraid of being taken advantage of? This time, Long Haochen was astonished. Apart from himself, this was the first time he saw Caier so close to someone else. Although that was her own great-grandfather, he still clearly remembered about her repulsion toward him before her loss of memories. Seeing that mark of affection between the two rtives, Long Haochen suddenly realized that he had been just too selfish. Wasnt the current Caier very good as is? At least, she wasnt as closed as before and a lot more affectionate. Then he couldnt help but disy a knowing smile.?Right! If I love her, I should think for her well-being, and not only think of myself. Because the barrier formed by Caiers amnesia finally started to melt inside him, he kept standing silently with arge smile. Brat, what are you smiling about? Let me tell you that youd better not think of leaving before you stay for three months. I have already received the letter from that fellow Long Tianying. You cannot think of going back before amassing a million contribution points. Let me record your current count of contribution points. At the sight of Sheng Yues astute look, Long Haochen immediately showed a pained face, Great-Grandfather, you cant be serious! Three months is too long. Sheng Yue snorted, Long? I think that it is rather short. If you can get a million contribution points in three months time, I will recognize your ability. Long Haochen became helpless, But, Great-Grandpa, you are being unfair. You have promised to give me your help. Was there any sincerity in your words? Sheng Yue seemed full ofcency, Right, I gave you my promise. But do you n on using this promise on such a thing? Dont think I dont know what Long Tianying and Yang Haohan are nning. If you use the promise now, you wont be able to use it again. Give it some good thought. I Long Haochen cursed silently, but was helpless in such a situation. Sheng Yue snorted, Do you want to describe me as cunning? Long Haochen shook his head with a forced smiled, How would I dare!? You are an elder, and all I want to say is that I trust your experience. You are really strong. But even if I dont use the promise, you cannot be shameless on the contribution points you owe me. Today, no matter what you may say, I could be considered to have earned half of the contribution for Allocers kill. The zing Lion Demon God is at the ninth step and should be worth at least 500,000 contribution points, or even more. I want to im half of it. Also, putting the corpse aside, the zing Lion Demon Gods Demon God Crown should be worth over 300,000 points. If I am not mistaken, a bit ago you wanted to send it to me. Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Embrace Caier (III)

Sheng Yue stared at Long Haochen, Brat, when did you be so cunning? It wont do, I am starting to doubt handing my great-granddaughter to you. Hearing the winning move that had been shown, Long Haochen all of a sudden became well behaved, forcing a smile, Great-grandpa, you cant do that! Sheng Yue seemed suddenly quite pleased with himself, So what? Is it such a difficult thing for you to stay in Exorcist Mountain Pass to apany Caier? Arriving at this point, he nced at the great-granddaughter at his side, his eyes full of warmth. Over this year and a half, it had always been about Sheng Yue teaching Caier. He came to like this girl more and more, and lost the feel of the previous barrier that made it impossible for them tomunicate. Caier also became more fondly attached to him, and felt real emotions for this kin of hers. This is something Sheng Yue hadnt even thought possible in the past. He looked like he was trying to make things difficult for Long Haochen, but in truth, he really couldnt bear to separate with his great-granddaughter! Although he knew that she couldnt remain forever, having her remain a few more days was still better than nothing. Through his eyes expression, Long Haochen saw through Sheng Yues such thoughts. He originally nned to keep disputing but immediately corrected himself, Then how about this, great-grandpa? We really are very pressed by time, and through todays battle, the situation in the Exorcist Mountain Pass should have be quite stable. We will remain here for one more month. This month, I wont ask for any achievement reward, and will only focus on helping our side to handle the demon threat. How about it? Long Haochen was very sincere. Sheng Yue, whose previous state of mood had vanished, replied with a nod, I knew I couldnt keep you here. Actually, what you did today is already worth more than a million contribution points. Thats how the facts were. His divine blessing almost strengthened the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass by a third, and that was a conservative estimate. Sheng Yue continued, Time to go. You twoe with me. This ce is not really safe. When we get to the public ces, at least we will be able to guarantee my great-granddaughters safety. Caier immediately stamped the ground and pouted, Here you go again great-grandfather. So annoying! However, the two of them still followed Sheng Yue outside the room. Sheng Yue arranged a room for Long Haochen to reside in with Han Yu. He really was visibly guarding against the possibility of Long Haochen and Caier having an intimate rtionship. In the following few days, the Exorcist Mountain Pass was exceptionally peaceful. Therge majority of the demons seemed to have lost their drive, and aside from the unlit demon god pir of the zing Lion Demon God, the other seven were still flickering, as if guarding against a human attack. Actually, it really made sense that they were on such high guard. Long Haochens forbidden spell on an ultrarge scale gave them an unbearable fright. What they feared the most was that Long Haochenes as they areunching the attack. At such times, the seven demon gods were incapable of protecting their army. But of course, they didnt know that Long Haochens Rain of Light was an all-out attempt. Launching it once again would need to wait for his spiritual energy to break through to 200,000. Grandpa, the situation is already pretty good in the mountain pass. I have already organized the restoration of the city walls since its a rare chance to see the demons so calm. With this short time of adjustment, we will at least recover triple the defensive power of our Exorcist Mountain Pass. Sheng Yue, the couple formed by Sheng Lingxin and his wife, Long Haochen, Han Yu and Caier had dinner together, and Sheng Lingxin reported to Sheng Yue about the condition of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The wife and husband were now aware that Long Haochen was the Twelfth Golden Foundation Knight, but that for the sake of concealing his true identity, he had to wear his armor every day, to avoid revealing his true features. As Sheng Lingxin spoke to Sheng Yue, his eyes frequently swept past his soon-to-beson-inw. When he learned that this knight was Long Haochen, his feeling of unbeliefsted for no less than a few hours. Just how long had it been? At the time when Long Haochen was leading his Demon Hunt Squad to the Exorcist Mountain Pass to undergo the trainee mission, he was still weak to the extent of needing his protection on the battlefield. But now, his cultivation clearly surpassed Lingxins own. Although Sheng Lingxin also finally broke through the eighth step, the age gap between them was of at least one generation. Sheng Lingxin was also of a proud bloodline. His admiration for Long Xingyu was sincere, but he didnt expect Long Haochens cultivation to have already surpassed his own. Sheng Yue nced down, Hows the military situation? Its pretty good. Those originally only lightly wounded are already back in their units, and the seriously hurt are back to being lightly wounded. The disabled aside, the overwhelming majority of the soldiers are back to theirmitments. While recuperating, they were preparing for battle. Sheng Yue nodded, Dont let those who are notpletely healede back to participate in the defense. Yes. Sheng Lingxin hurriedly responded. Although he was the military chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the real one in charge was Sheng Yue. Sheng Lingxins prestige was far beneath those heroic assassins of the ninth step. He didnt even have the authority to mobilize the Hidden Knight Hall, personally led by Ying Suifeng. Sheng Yue shifted his nce to Long Haochens direction and heaved a slight smile, Our Saint Knight Head, do you have some good suggestions? Great-grandfather, youre still making fun of me. How could I presume to make suggestions in front of Uncle Sheng and you? Sheng Yues expression became serious, Youre wrong, Haochen. In private, you are our junior, but no matter what, you shouldnt forget about your status as Saint Knight Head. You are representing the Knight Temple, and many times, acting tough will be a necessity, otherwise, its not your own face that is lost, but the Knight Temple, you understand? Long Haochen had a cold shiver and respectfully replied, Yes! Sheng Yue continued in a heavy tone, You are still young, but already made quite good contributions for the Alliance. Forget about your own age, you must act befitting your status of Saint Knight Head. Otherwise, your grandfathers n to send you to establish ties in every Temple will be of no use. Your strength is already sufficient, but you need now to have the proper prestige and inspire awe as the Saint Knight Head. Long Haochen continued to nod. Sheng Yue sighed lightly, If it was possible, I would rather not wish for such a heavy burden to be ced so early on you. But you are already burdened beyond the limits. It can be said that you are the real trigger for this Holy War. Although this had to happen sooner orter, on behalf of the Alliance I can guarantee you that we did not protect you because you are this Sheng Yues son-inw or the grandson of Long Tianying, but because of your own strength and ability to destroy the demon god pirs. I know I am being direct, maybe unreasonable, but these are the most basic facts. If not for your own strength, even if we could have won as well, it would definitely not have ended that way so smoothly. Just work hard and dont fall short of our expectations. You are already a Saint Knight of the eighth step! Theres absolutely no other Saint Knight of your age in the whole history of the Alliance. We all believe that your future self will surely be a person of outstanding talents who will act as the future leader for the Alliance. So no matter when, you must be extremely strict in your self-evaluations. I dont want to hear you sound like just before again. So now, tell us about your thoughts. Sheng Yue was very severe, but his words gave Long Haochen the awareness he needed. Doing that, he helped Long Haochen to change his own evaluation of himself. He was not someone of ordinary standing anymore, but the Saint Knight Head representing the Knight Temple, one among the higher ced of the Temple Alliance After pondering for a short time, Long Haochen replied, Great-grandfather, Uncle Sheng, I have some thoughts. Its just that I havent spoke them about because its a kind of extreme n. Sheng Lingxins eyes lit up immediately, I want to hear about it. He was originally among the most radical of the Assassin Temple in his decision-making. If not for how Sheng Yue kept him suppressed all this time, hismanding strategy would have changed long ago. Long Haochens mention of the word extreme immediately gave this father inw a great excitation. Long Haochen nodded, I believe that outside of the gap in strength, the biggest reason why the losses of the Exorcist Mountain Pass were so great is that there wasnt the opportunity to make use of the Assassin Temples greatest strong points. After saying that, he came to a pause and looked at Sheng Yue and Sheng Lingxins reactions. Sheng Yue looked surprised while Sheng Lingxins expression became even more excited and expectant, nodding slightly, Keep going. Long Haochen replied, The Assassin Temples strong points lie in attacking and not defending. Assassins are really unfit for a defensive battle behind city walls. Its as if we were to put a group of mages in the frontlines. The Exorcist Mountain Pass surely needs to be defended, but I believe that we can change that from a passive defense to an active defense. In short, offense would be the greatest defense. That day, I saw that the elders at the heroic assassin step were over a dozen. Such a force wouldnt lose out greatly even in front of demon gods, to say nothing about now that there is one less of them. If we can use harassing and ambushing tactics against the demon camps, their strength when attacking our Exorcist Mountain Pass will surely take a huge blow. And at the same time, ambushes, surprise attacks, and stealth are all fields of expertise for the Assassin Temple! Why wouldnt we make use of our dominant points? By taking a beating passively, we can only be more and more passive. Different upations should use different methods to cope against the enemy. Well spoken! Sheng Lingxin tapped on his thigh, in great excitement, Haochen, I have exactly the same opinion as you. Humph! Sheng Yue snorted in anger, breaking off Sheng Lingxins great excitement. Sheng Lingxin looked back at his grandfather, somewhat ashamed, a bitter smile on his face, Grandfather, I am not saying that your policy is wrong! Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Moonless and Windy Night (I)

Sheng Yue snorted coldly, You think I dont know about your revolting ideas? Do you know why I have always been against your idea of surprise attacking the demons? Thats because we cannot afford such losses. It will be good if you seed, but what if you fail? Do you n on leaving a terrible mess of handicapped soldiers to defend my granddaughters Assassin Temple? Sheng Lingxin had a bitter smile, But grandfather, dont you believe that what Haochen just said really makes sense? Sheng Yue replied, Times are changing. Our battle tactics should be adjusted. Reaching this point, this Heroic Knight had a dense killing intenting out of his eyes. Sheng Lingxin was greatly excited, Grandfather, are you agreeing? Sheng Yue slowly straightened his posture, looking up to the sky, and spoke indifferently, Killing on a moonless and windy night will always work better than in the day. And the time hase today. Immediately gather the whole Hidden Knight Hall in the courtyard on my order. Lan Yanyu had a sudden fright, Grandfather, are you sure you are not being too hasty? Shouldnt we operate after having a good discussion? Sheng Yue proudly replied, An assassination must be performed when expected the least. Thats the true power of the assassins: in any situation, they n out things effectively. There is no unvarying situation, only unflexible persons. If these brothers of mine needed to ask for such minor preparations for an assassination, they wouldnt deserve being called persons of outstanding talents in our Assassin Temple. You and your wife will make good the troops mobilization , and prepare the defense for when the enemys reprisalse. Haochen, Han Yu, Caier and you will aid me. Long Haochen straightened his posture, Great-grandfather, please bring me along. I think that you seniors will need a shield. Han Yu and Caier also stood up, looking at Sheng Yue with determined eyes, showing their own intentions. After pondering briefly, Sheng Yue replied, Okay, thene along. Lan Yanyu seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Sheng Lingxins look. How could one act on impulse in such a big matter? Long Haochen and Caier werent delicate flowers to be kept safe. Sheng Yue raised his head, and took a look at the deep night, his eyes surging with coldness. Long Haochen could sense an intangible enhancement of his aura. This wasnt might but a kind of extraordinary special quality that gave Long Haochen terrible shivers. Outside of the ten heroic assassins of the ninth step that Long Haochen had seen the other day, another twenty-one Hidden Assassins came besides. They were all Assassin Emperors of the eighth step. Sheng Yue shifted his nce toward Long Haochen, Caier, and Han Yu and after a little thought ordered, Han Yu, donte along. Stay with Lingxin in the Exorcist Mountain Pass to guard the city. The main point on this operation will be speed. Your cultivation is rather lower and speed isnt your field of expertise. Han Yu really wanted to fight alongisde Long Haochen and Caier, but he knew that Sheng Yue was right. Giving his agreement, he withdrew with some unwillingness. Sheng Yue looked at the bright-golden, dazzling Golden Foundation Armor, but beforehe even had the chance to open his mouth, Long Haochen had taken out a ck cloak that draped over his whole body as psychic fluctuations forming ripples instantly concealed his whole aura. Sheng Yue had a thin smile on his face, thinking secretly?Ah, this brat has already been making good preparations for the time to have affairs. Eleven Heroic Knights, plus twenty-one Hidden Knights, Long Haochen and Caier made up a total of thirty four people. Sheng Yue dered, The demon offenses have beening for a long time already, and now should be the time for us to show them what we can do. We are going tounch a surprise attack. It will have a single objective, and that is to kill as many higher-ranked demons as possible. I have to emphasize two points. First, no one is to insist on fighting too long, everyone must immediately listen to the orders of retreat. When theye, the Heroic Assassins will form the rear. Second, do not attempt to kill the demon gods. They are under the protection of their demon god pirs and will be very hard to kill. Our goal is the demons of the fifth step and above. As assassins, we are expert in surprise attacks, not prolonged battles. During this operation, take good care with your concealment. Theres not much else that I have to say. Start off! Sheng Yue waved his hand, and his figure shed, taking the lead before the other assassins disappeared one after another. Long Haochen and Caier dashed out simultaneously, but just after leaving, he muttered some words to Lan Yanyu. Then he pulled Caiers hand away. Looking at their departing figures, Lan Yanyu let out a light sigh, Haochen is really a pretty good boy. Sheng Lingxin asked, What did he just tell you? He said that if someone wants to hurt Caier, hell have to do it over his corpse. Sheng Lingxin had a smile, As a mother-inw, are you starting to like him gradually? Lan Yanyu replied with a cold stare, Im not the one who chose this son-inw. Your daughter made the decision all alone. What can I even say about a couple that lives together starting from the age of fourteen? cough, cough. Lets go, we have work around the citys walls as well. I already gave the order for the armies to gather. Ai, I really wish I had joined grandfathers group. What a shame! With Sheng Lingxins cultivation, the resources that were put at his disposal, and his Spiritual Stove of the Return to Childhood, bing an assassin of Hidden Knight grade was no issue to him. But the thing is, as the militarymander on duty here, how could he afford to leave his post? Han Yu nodded to Sheng Lingxinsst remark. He also wanted toe along! Although their 64thmander-grade Demon Hunt Squad was not reformed yet, he was really itching to once again fight together with Long Haochen and Caier. The distant demon camps were extremely calm. The seven demon god pirs that were lit just before had be a lot more dull in color. After Sheng Yue stealthily brought everyone outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, they gathered to a dark corner to arrange the details of the attack. In a bit, we will be all acting independantly, fighting on our own. When you hear my signal, retreat, understood! You have to remember that the goal of this surprise attack is to kill enemies while doing our utmost to preserve our own resources. If in the end we all return alive, it will be a great achievement for us. The group of powerful Hidden Knights lifted up their right hands, tapping lightly on the space between their eyebrows, before making a gesture of throat cutting. This was their way to express their resolution to Sheng Yue. This method was specific to assassins. When operating, they wouldntmunicate with words. Gestures and movements be their greatest means ofmunication. The previous movement signifies that they will fight the enemies smartly, and get rid of them. Sheng Yue shifted his nce to Long Haochen, looking at him and then at Caier. Long Haochen immediately nodded to him, expressing his understanding. Sheng Yue was warning him to protect Caier and himself well. Sheng Yue waved his hand and everyone started off at the same time, scattering soundlessly to all directions, before disappearing under the cover of night without a single trace. Just as Long Haochen said, the assassins fields of expertise are infiltration and assassination, not just and honorable battles. In the dark, an assassin is like a fish in water. These powerhouses all had the same feeling of thrill at that very moment. No one pondered over how much they could do during this operations, all of them were focused on giving vent and ughtering to their fill. Caier, hide yourself and follow me. Long Haochen spoke low. Yeah. Caier acquiesced, and disappeared from Long Haochens side in a sh. If his mental force wasnt gathered specifically in her direction, he would also be unable to detect her presence. Compared to a year and a half before, Caier really had became more powerful. Long Haochens speed was quite a bit slower than the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple, but he didnt show the slightest sign of hastiness. Making a detour to the side without changing his speed, he headed to the demon camp by an indirect route. Haochen, just where are we going? Arent we supposed to attack the demon camp by surprise? This detour is too slow. Although great-grandfather and the others shouldnt find out about that, if we fall too far behind, Im afraid that we wonte back with the slightest harvest. Caier did not be anxious because of a desire to kill the enemies, but on Long Haochens behalf. Haochen was the only one from the Knight Temple participating, so in case his results were toocking, wouldnt his reputation as Saint Knight Head be in danger? Thats especially the case after his great power was disyed so brazenly just before. Long Haochen replied in a low voice, Dont make any sound. Follow me and thats all. We will strive for the greatest aplishments. The demon camps were still not aware that a ughtering operation was aimed against them. Almost the entirety of the greatest powerhouses at the Assassin Temples disposal wasing at them, formallying up. The gap between the demon side and the human side in this regard was very wide. The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was really full of demon elites, including three Demon Emperor Legions. From this could be pointed out the wide gap in global strength between the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple. And while facing so many demon elites, the losses was still far fewer than the Assassin Temple. The demons standing in garrison outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass far exceeded the ones outside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass in quantity, especially the seas of Dual ded Demons. These low ranked demons had limited fighting abilities, to the extent of being no match in one versus onebat against a trained grown man. But their quantities were unmatchable! So most of the demons in garrison outside the demon camps were these Dual ded Demons of low grade. Dual ded Demons had very low positions among demonkin, to the extent that when they were used as food, no other race would be willing to consume their corpses, so they were mostly used to feed each other. Let alone them, even the Deep Green Dual ded Demons would not necessarily be treated as luxurious food in such a demon army. The best tents were all transferred to the north, used by the armiesying siege against the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Within the demon armies outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, only those reaching the sixth step at least were qualified to lodge in tents. This was the reason why Sheng Yue said they were mostly aiming at the demons at the fifth and sixth step. No one even bothered asking for a way to find the good targets. Just identifying some tents was enough. As long as they were living in tents, they wouldnt be a bad target. Chapter 532

Chapter 532: Moonless and Windy Night (II)

Large,rge areas of Dual ded Demons came to view, calmly resting in that ce. They didnt even realize that right above their heads, formless shadows were disappearing. Sheng Yue was now a bit perplexed by what Long Haochen was doing. Originally, he was nning to folllow Long Haochen and Caier during the operation, but right after he announced its start, they just went off on their own way. As the conductor of this operation, Sheng Yue obviously couldnt follow them in that detour. He had to be responsible for all the powerhouses of the Assassin Temple, and left without a choice but to follow the other assassins in their dispersal, headed into the demon camp. Just like the time the Knight Temple ambushed the demon camps, the demons were not prepared at all. Although the seven demon god pirs were already losing in power, they still had great scouting abilities. In addition, with the swarm of Dual ded Demons ced on the outskirts, theres no way a surprise attack would not be detected. In their eyes, humans were cowards and these human powerhouses wouldnt lightly dare to make a bold move. With the demon god pirs nearby, these tyrants strength was raised by over fifty percent. After sweeping through the Dual ded Demons, they came ross dispersed lower ranked demons and Demonic Wolves. Sheng Yue believed that at this rate, they would reach the heart of the demon camp while still hidden. This demon camp had over a million soldiers in garrison. Most of the time, their total number even approached two million. Therefore, the size of the camp was only big enough for a small proportion of therge army. At the time of the attack, the assassins all dispersed which was why they werent afraid of going after same targets by mistake. This demon camp had over twenty different races in it, which were all in slumbend since long ago. In the sky a few ripples appeared, where Sheng Yues invisible figure shifted. At this time, his strongest areaof expertise came to view: travelling while remaining totally invisible was by no way something everyone at the ninth-rank could do. Sheng Yue observed the situation in the camp: the demons of all twenty races were scattered about in sleep. This camp could still be regarded asrge enough for the sleepers to spread out. To an assassin, extreme prudence is a must-have during an operation, and this applies even when it is known that the enemy is much weaker. The ability of invisibility wears off immediately in case of attack, therefore it was no easy feat to dispose of enemies at the sixth step without a single sound. In this part of the camp were gathered Demonic Wolves, but these ones were rather taller than ordinary ones, and had dark golden hairs. These were Demonic Wolves ofmander ss, whose strength varied between the sixth and the seventh step. After a moment of thought, Sheng Yues figure shed through, and appeared beside the outermost Demonic Wolf. His understanding of each kind of demons characteristics was really deep, he was thereby aware that their sense of smell was extremely good. For this reason, he paid extreme attention to not letting any trace of his smell leak out. Otherwise, even in dreand, these Demonic Wolves of the sixth or seventh step would find out about his presence. A thin ck light shed, causing the outermost Demonic Wolf to tremble slightly, before losing all breath. Sheng Yues strike was steady, urate and fierce. It aimed at the central nerve on its nape, and pierced straight through its entire brain. Such an injury was more than sufficient for an instant kill. To avoid letting this Demonic Wolf make noise, at the time his dagger pierced the back of the Demonic Wolf, his spiritual energy spread out instantly, and locked him into a state of stiffness. This whole process may sound simple, but at the time it was carried out, the spiritual energy on Sheng Yues dagger went through three transformations. This was known to assassins as the Tri-Transformation Sword. Launching an attack, Sheng Yues figure came back into view. However, he was like a part of darkness, not only totally odorless, even the wolves eyes might not be able to distinguish him in the darkness. The dagger was stealthily pulled away, and didnt let a single trace of blood escape. Almost all weapons used by high level assassins would be imbued with poison, a poison called Ashes. In itself, it cant be called a fatal poison, only, it will immediately close the enemys wound. Because it is an extremely potent burning poison, it will, in case of contact with the skin, immediately produce an intense cauterization. The previous strike of Sheng Yue caused the enemys wound to cauterizepletely, which is why there was no trace of blood leaking out. This was for the sake of keeping his assassination concealed. The flow of blood stopped totally, and for at least an hour, this Demonic Wolf wont show any trace of blood from his seven apertures. The Assassination Temple focused its researches on assassination, and theres no way a legacy of several thousand years old could be simple. After one attack ended smoothly, Sheng Yue didnt stop at that. Using the same method, he rapidly disposed of all eight Demonic Wolves resting in this portion of the camp. Right at this time happened a change he didnt expect. A Demonic Wolf growled before standing up, on the verge of exiting the camp. Was this an urge of going to pee? Sheng Yues expression immediately became quite grotesque. This kind of high levelled Demonic Wolves had quite acute senses: maybe the whole course of events that happened during its sleep wasnt clear in its eyes, but if he really goes to pee, the blowing wind will surely rouse him and then, theres no way he would not notice that something wrong happened. At least, the absence of breath from his mates couldnt go unnoticed. But Sheng Yue didnt act blindly. Looking at that leaving Demonic Wolf, he swept across and disposed of the remaining three asleep Demonic Wolves, before disappearing once again in the darkness. A short timeter, the Demonic Wolf that had left a bit earlier came back. As expected, his eyes looked more focused, and at the time he was heading back to his own bed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, unconsciously looking at the direction of hisrades. But right then, a glowing sensation spread to his brain, and his whole consciousness went ck. Sheng Yues eyes glinted, and in a sh of ck light, he recovered the corpses of these twelve Demonic Wolf Commanders at lightspeed. This was not only for the sake of preventing news of their deaths from leaking out, but also for their high levelled magical crystals which were directly useable by magic cannons. The magic cannons of the Exorcist Mountain Pass went unfired for already one year. If they could reactivate several dozen of them, what would there be to fear from these nasty Demonic Eye Soldiers? The same ughter was happening all around the demon camp. Every assassin used his own assassination methods, but without exception, all remained uncaught. Leading Caier along, Long Haochen didnt enter more deeply inside the demon camp, but infiltrated the outer part of the camp. He didnt even show the slightest intention to have Caier carry out any operation, just calmly observing the movement happening inside it. The ce where he and Caier were was around the part of camp where Dual ded Demons and other low levelled beasts resisted. Given their cultivation, standing there noiselessly was no challenge to them. Although Caier was puzzled over the reasons for Long Haochens passivity, she didnt ask in detail, and trusted him. This was not because of the rtionship between the two of them, but a trust betweenpanions,rades in arms. The 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad led by Haochen could be said to have made great aplishments, and after their continuous joint operations, each of its members was already fullymitted to him. The same went for Caier even after her amnesia: there must be a reason for him to be lying low like that. Stealthily scanning the whole surroundings, Long Haochen spread out his mental energy to the greatest extent. Besides the area of influence of the few demon god pirs, he tried his utmost to spread it as far as possible. He became gradually filled with admiration. In his senses, not a single one of the assassins participating to this operation appeared. In other words, even his mental force wasnt able to perceive their location. Although the military camp covered quiterge area, Long Haochens mental force was quite considerable, so within his scope of detection, there must have been at least some assassin performing his duty. The fact he didnt detect any was ample proof of their ability. Long Haochen was not worried in the slightest. The more time passed, the greater the assassins aplishments would grow. This was a really good thing! The best would be for the situation tost for a while. Given the assassins strength, even if they only swept a division of the camp every minute, this would mean the death of hundreds demons per minutes. Keep it up!?Long Haochen was cheering for them inwardly, but didnt show any intention to join their operation, and didnt even let Caier participate. All he did was to asionally raise his head and look into the direction of the distant demon god pirs, their faint ck color glinting. Time passed minute after minute and second after second. The demons were totally unaware, as a ughter took ce in the whole demon camp. The breathing sounds diminished in one camp after another, and formless figures came out, sinking deeper inside. In a blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed. Long Haochens fists were clenched tightly since long ago, and he was clearly filled with great excitement. In only ten or so minutes, the contribution made by their operation was already extremely great. After all their goals werent the average demons. Right at this time the central of the seven demon god pirs shone greatly, and next, the other six demon god pirs lit up brilliantly. Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Moonless and Windy Night (III)

A sad shrill scream echoed fiercely rang out, immediately rming the whole camp. Right at that time, several lights abruptly burst out toward different directions of the demon camp. The distance between one of them and Long Haochens group was no more than two hundred meters. The attack now discovered, Long Haochen immediately understood the current situation. Although he didnt know by which means the demon discovered the assassins, it was clear that the time hade for retreat. As expected, those lights simultaneouslyunched from all over therge demon camp. Without exception, those bright rays burst out, producing ripples of light as they retreated rapidly, flowing together into ribbons of light that quietly faded into thin air, clearly bing invisible as they began to flee towards the city. Under Long Haochens attentive watch, the glint that was nearest to Caier and him instantly burst out with iparable brilliance, letting out a wide expanse of grey light epassing at least four or five camp divisions. Everywhere this grey passed, the ground seemed as if struck by meteors. Those camp divisions totally disappeared in the midst of fierce sounds of explosions. Then, the figure that was its source disappeared totally, sinking into the sky as it faded away. Clearly, even if they were found out, the assassins were still set on making a great score before departing. Long Haochen didnt have the leasure to ponder about these issues, and quickly turned to transmit his voice to Caier, saying, Prepare to act. In a moment you will see me move against the enemy, then, after we sh, I want you to immediately prepare to use the Sickle of the God of Death while I feign a panicked retreat to draw them in. You will be hiding yourself on my escape route. When I head to your direction for a counterattack, we will attack from both sides. Understood? Understood. Caier immediately replied, clearly understanding Long Haochens n. Due to that sharp shrill as well as the dozens of glints that had risen so suddenly, the whole demon camp immediately became disorderly. Countless demons were rushing out from the camp, and the ones outside were also risen up, looking for the enemies tracks in a frenzy. However, finding a dozen or so people in this camp of one million was easier said than done, not to mention that these assassins were masters in the art of concealment. Looking for them was no different than looking for a needle in the sea. In the center of the demon camp, seven demon god pirs shed out, aiming in one direction with perfect cohesion. This direction was between the demon camp and the Exorcist Mountain Pass. As expected, from the direction they aimed for, several figures came out. They were visibly stunned for some time, before aiming to return in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass at even greater speed. Radiances shot out from the demon camp to chase after them from the sky. In the meantime, each of those seven demon god pirs formed an intense ray. Among the lot, two chased after the figures that hade out, and the other five were rushing toward different directions in the camp. Their bodies all refracted the demon god pirs. They were visibly searching for the concealed assassins. In front of such a situation, Long Haochen couldnt help but gasp in secret admiration. The demons were really powerful. For these seven demon gods to be able to react so rapidly in such a situation made him think,?Im afraid that in this surprise attack, the Assassin Temple will have some losses. I just hope that these losses wont be too great. He was originally prepared to wait for some more time, but seeing the current situation, he decided to shift his n earlier. Quietly standing straight, Long Haochen swept his eyes around, taking in the full situation. He abruptly soared up, bursting out with a resplendent bright light which turned into an extreme burst of brilliant light aimed to all four directions. That was Light Meteors Shower Strike. A great expanse of bright golden light meteors fiercely struck the demon camp below. What Long Haochen sought in this blow was not the offensive strength but the area of effect. Arge area in the camp was blown away by Light Meteor Shower, but as therge majority of the demons inside had already rushed out from their tents, they were able to hastily block Long Haochens attack. After theunch of this attack, Long Haochens whole body came to a standstill, before he turned and ran away, making a mad rush without leaving the ground. On his right hand, Rippling Light was sparkling brilliantly, continuously spraying out myriads of golden lights, as it was thrust in the midst of an area of lower levelled demons. The demons ate quite a severe loss from Long Haochens actions. The ordinary ones of the fourth and fifth step were all crushed in the face of his attacks. How could they have a way to survive that? Moreover, it was reinforced by Ripples of Light. One could see a golden figure heading through the demon camp. Everywhere it passed, golden light sprinkled out from his body. Each sprinkle took along the lives of over a dozen of the lower ranked demons every time. Demon Wiping sh, boosted by Ripples of Light, was enough to even totally pierce through the defenses of some demons of the sixth step. Almost all demons that stood in Long Haochens way turned the next instant into heaps of blood. In front of the tyrannical golden light, no one was able to show any resistance. Afterwards,rge quantities of demons kept going after Long Haochen, but his speed was just too great. With respect to his cultivation which reached the eighth step, even keeping up with his speed of advance was not within the scope of an ordinary demon. This ughter could be described as being carried out extremely carefreely. Long Haochen could even feel that his contribution points were rising at a monstrous speed. Every blow awarded him with over a hundred points, and sometimes over a thousand. He also asionally released a Light Meteors Shower Strike to reap the lives of even more soldiers. Of course, this situation lessened when he rushed inside the Dual ded Demons areas. Ten of them were only worth one contribution point, so even killing a lot of them wouldnt earn much. This may be the first time someone rushed into the demon camp while conducting such a brazen ughter, because everyone knew that after releasing such attacks, the chances of escape would be close to zero. This was confirmed by what followed next. Of the five demon gods, the nearest one to Long Haochen was glinting with an intense green light. Confirming the direction of Long Haochens escape, he instantly elerated in midair, chasing after him at a mad speed. No other demon powerhouse followed, as in their eyes, this human wouldnt possibly be able to escape the chase of a demon god no matter what. Long Haochen was certainly running away all this time, but he still kept attention to the movements behind him. Of course, he also noticed the increasing threat that was approaching him from behind. But, as if he didnt know, he kept ughtering his way through the surrounding sections of the demon camp. He took it so far that when he was reaching the Dual ded Camp, he suddenly made a turn and kept killing his way in the low ranked demons sections. Long Haochen was absolutely sure that this charge got him at least 100,000 contribution points. Since such a good chance coulde only once, he made sure to utilize it as fully as possible. No one knew that as Long Haochen was moving his way through the demon camp, an invisible silhouette in the sky was following him all along, while paying close attention to the green figure after him. Finally, the solid green lit demon god had chased him near enough, and from him a gaudy green ray was shot out, piercing the air to aim straight at Long Haochen. This green ray was extremely fast, gradually loomingrger in the sky. Its outside part was surprisingly burning with a ck me, just like a meteor rushing at Long Haochen. When it seemed on the verge of hitting, Long Haochens figure shed and golden mes were shot out from his back, propelling him forward at a frightening speed. His sudden rush through the camp of low leveled demons left a thin bloody swath as he cut his way through them. This mere dodge propelled him over two hundred meters forward, escaping this bombarding attack that came from above. Arge boom rang out on the ground, the intense greenish ck mes enveloping an area of over three hundred meters in diameter. The demons that didnt die yet under his hand didnt even have the time to scream, and simply turned into ashes dissolving in the air. The demon god from whom this attack originated also finally appeared. It was a human shaped figure glistening in green, riding a green horse. It looked to be a handsome man over two meters tall, but both he and his horse had pairs of enchanting red colored eyes. The scene of his figure bing alternately hidden and visible due to the surrounding green light was strange. d in green armor, he had a spear hung on the saddle of his winged horse. Goblin Knight Seere, seventieth ranked of the seventy-two demon gods. He could be considered an old mate of the zing Lion Demon Allocer as well as the Winged Ox Demon Zagan. Obviously, they had been assigned to this area all this time, as the Demon God Emperor would naturally not assign three demon gods already familiar with this area to somewhere else. Because of their rather lower ranking, they were merely stripped of their status ofmander here. But as demon gods they obviously retained very majestic positions in this camp. The fact that the demons found out about the Assassin Temples raid was really mysterious. And its exnation was beyond theprehension of the Assassin Temples powerhouses. During a ughter of a dozen or so minutes, over a thousand demons of the sixth step at least that died. Demons were also living beings, breathing creatures. When they died, their breath would also disappear. Because the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were approaching the camp from its outside, the missing demon breaths were mostly located on the outer part of the camp. The seven great demon gods were always scanning the situation in the camp through their demon god pirs, even in times of cultivation or sleep. Chapter 534

Chapter 534: Goblin Knight Demon (I)

The most powerful demon god present having apparently sensed the disappearance of some breaths, reinforced his scouting power to scan through the changes in the camp. This action was naturally followed by the other demon gods. Their move seemed confident, and immediately frightened the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple. But if the assassins had kept themselves concealed, the seven demon gods couldnt bepletely sure that someone was raiding on them. After all, examining every breath in the area of the camp was not such an easy thing to do. This way, maybe the Assassin Temples powerhouses could havee out with even more gains. But unfortunately, it was toote for that. This response from the assassins confirmed the guess of the seven great demon gods, who immediately counterattacked. Right now, they had no time to deploy the armies, as this surprise attack of the enemies was very sudden. Moreover, since they attacked so suddenly, they surely would have prepared a path of retreat beforehand. So the seven of them didnt even take the time to discuss, and immediately put their whole energy into searching for the enemies. As long as they were found while still in the camp, their officers and soldiers could act. As a matter of fact, they made a very good choice. A few assassins overly pressed to return were found out just like that. Two demon gods were chasing after the enemies, while the other five were still searching through the camp, when Seere saw Long Haochens figure. Theres no way he couldnt have noticed him as Haochen didnt have the slightest intention to keep himself concealed: he was running away while attacking and demolishing the sections of the demon camp on his way. The Golden Foundation Armor on Long Haochen was naturally recognized by Seere. It would be rather strange for him to not know about knights of the eighth step. But he wondered whether this guy was not actually throwing his life away. Seere even believed the enemy to be nning to kill himself by rushing through the demon camp by himself, when even just a drop of saliva from every demon present would be enough to drown him. But Seeres found out with shock that this human knight seemed extremely adroit at area-targeted abilities. Without much effort, he wiped out everything on his way, while retaining a very fast escape speed. Only now did he realize that this was a very cunning human. The reason why he didnt travel through the sky to escape ought to be his overly conspicuous golden armor, which would attract the attention from even more demon gods. He was intending to break out from here to escape to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Youre pretty good, but do you take me, the Goblin Knight, for an idiot??While Seere elerated to chase after Long Haochen, he had started to prepare thatst strike, a probing attack aimed at Haochen. Long Haochen avoided it without difficulty, increasing Seeres assessment of him a bit. But he still didnt believe Haochen to be able to escape. In terms of speed, the Goblin Knight had an absolute confidence in himself. A brutal strength surged out from the green winged horse, whonded directly in Long Haochens path. In the meanwhile, a green me was also starting to surge out from his demon god pir as well as another distant one. Although Seeres was only at the peak of the eighth step, in times of battle he could actually wield a strength reaching the ninth step in the vicinity of his demon god pir, just like Andromalius did back then. But in strength, as the seventieth ranked, he was even more powerful than Andromalius. Seeres made a fast shing motion toward Long Haochen, and many green lights burst forth from his back, forming a huge green cage that enveloped Long Haochen. From the beginning of the fight, the only weapon Long Haochen used was Rippling Light. Seeing Seeres block him like that, Long Haochen finally revealed a faint smile. This was the timing he was waiting for. He had been holding back all this time just for this moment. As a knight, he couldnt go assassinate the various demon powerhouses in there, for fear of having greater odds of getting found out. And thus, why would he be hurried to step in? During the daytime, Long Haochen had clearly examined the looks of the eight demon god pirs. He hadnt seen many demon god pirs before, but the first time he saw one was in this Exorcist Mountain Pass! And his memories of the three demon gods that almost took Sheng Lingxin and his life were unforgettable in his mind. The Goblin Knight Seere was, in his memories, the weakest of these three. Andromalius was already dead, so Long Haochen had decided on his next target as early as when he followed Sheng Yue outside of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Right, the Goblin Knight Seere may be a bit stronger than Andromalius, but as they were the seventieth and the seventy-second ranked, how could their gap be so important. Seere had some strength in reserve, but Long Haochen was also far stronger than at that time. He wanted to reward the Exorcist Mountain Pass with another big gift, the demon god right before him. How could Seere know that, while taking Long Haochen for his target, he was actually the one being targeted!? Concealed behind the Golden Foundation Armor, Long Haochens body turned into a transparent golden color. Aplete Brilliant Body! Confronting Seeres attack, he simply waved Rippling Light in his right hand, and a golden halo came out, undting around the sword. A fantastic scene emerged: upon encountering this golden halo, Seeres green cage copsed instantly, just as if it had never existed. Element Obliterating Halo. This skill was revealed for the first time when the strength of Long Haochens team was assessed by Gao Yingjie. It had a single use, which was to obliterate any elemental fluctuation, and was one of the strongest abilities of a Guardian Knight of the seventh step. The reason why it was only at the seventh step was that its effectsted only for a short instant, and didnt persist with time. Otherwise it would be a frightening ability on the level of a domain, and evenparable to a forbidden spell. However, even if it onlysted one instant, this was still a game-breaking ability. Elemental Obliterating Halo was a secret technique employed by the Knight Temple, not something anyone could use. It left a very deep impression in him at the time Gao Yingjie had used it, which is why he specifically looked for it in the training cave. At the present time, as he already reached the eighth step, using it was a childs y in his eyes. Sweeping away Seeres attack, Long Haochen made his move. He understood clearly that he didnt have much time. To kill Seeres, he could only go all out from the beginning, before the arrival of other demon gods. Otherwise, his life would be the one endangered. But what he did now was not to attack, but he kept stimting Rippling Light, discharging a glowing barrier all around. In this short span of time, it had swelled to a range of a hundred meters Elemental Obliterating Halo gave Seere quite a shock, making him see Long Haochens strength in a new light. This barrier didnt have any powerful might, but to expand to such arge scale, it surely consumed quite a significant amount of spiritual energy! Whats that for? Seere was also cautious about the tiny buzzing sounds this barrier emitted. The twisted light it emitted already made it impossible to see the outside world. To Seere, this barrier could only be aimed at disconnecting the demon god pir from him, to prevent it from detecting Seeres crisis. But theres no way disconnecting a demon god from his pir could be so easy. At least, in the history of the humans resistance against the demons, it had never been done while the demon god and his pir were so close to each other. At the time Long Haochen unleashed the barrier, Seere didnt stay idle either. To the other seven, Allocers death was an important warning rather than a big loss. The fifty-second ranked demon god didnt even have the time to use the abilities at his disposal while he was killed right in front of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. This gave the other demon gods a considerable shock. For this reason, Seere didnt dare show any carelessness in front of this Saint Knight of the eighth step. Within therge Holy Mantle Long Haochen released, he picked up the green spear saddled on his horse, lifted it upwards and let out a loud shout. Immediately, a strange scene followed. A strong green light abruptly burst out from Seeres body and rushed out, directly causing a hole to appear on the Holy Mantle. It wasnt shattered from that, but didnt show a great resistance either. In the meantime, some shocking changes started to ur on the Goblin Knight Seere. His figure used to be two meters tall, and his looks astonishingly good for a demon, but right now his looks turned nasty. The green winged horse below him spread out its wings, and as if melting, started to cover Seeres whole body. One could clearly see a fleshy-looking green armor form on his whole body. Even more disgusting, this green armor was actually embedded with pulsating veins. Seeres body was visibly much more swollen, with a pair of scarlet eyes flickering with ominous glints. On his forehead were three helix shaped horns, ck colored with some green light curling up. This appearance wasparable to Andromalius in toughness, but looked a lot more evil and fierce. This was the Demon God Transformation relying on the power of the demon god pir, which instantly boosted Seeres strength to the ninth step. Chapter 535

Chapter 535: Goblin Knight (II)

At the time of his death, the zing Lion Demon Allocer did not even have the time to use Demon God Transformation. Seere was unwilling to follow his tracks and believed that as long as his body was in the transformed state of a demon god, he would have many more tricks at his disposal to ensure his survival. To say nothing of this opponent only being at the eighth step, even against someone reaching the ninth step, he had the confidence of getting away. Long Haochen understood clearly what he needed to do now. They were able to kill Andromalius because of the repercussions of his battle against the Forest Boa King. Heavily wounded and without any reserves left, they had the perfect opportunity. But the current Seere was in hisplete state, and could be considered a strongly reinforced version of Andromalius. Why is it that Long Haochen would have absolute confidence in being able to kill a powerhouse of the ninth step, furthermore one reinforced by his demon god pir? In one versus one, his odds of victory were probably close to zero. The gap between the eighth and the ninth step was just that wide. But Long Haochen had still done that. This simply meant that he was prepared long before. While Seere assumed the Demon God Transformation, Long Haochen didnt stay idle, and, in his hand, Rippling Light disappeared gradually. Instead, an orange colored radiance started to glow on his left arm before bursting out, reducing all the lower ranked demons present in its range to fragments. The lower ranked demons outside its range were rushing to get away, as they didnt have the ability to resist that at all. What could that golden barrier be? urately speaking, it wasnt a known technique, norr was it a Holy Mantle. Recently, Long Haochen had researched a new technique for himself that had a single purpose; to obstruct the enemys line of sight. Simply described, this could be called a Holy Mantle made of illusion, without any practical defensive or amplifying ability, and easily pierceable by any attack or creature, but only blocking the line of sight of any outsider. Actually this technique wasnt a hard thing to produce. Long Haochens inspiration came from his own Ripples of Light. By reduce the vibrating frequency a bit, and controlling the output of spiritual energy with more dexterity, his goal was attained. He had tried it out a lot of times already, and just as one could see right here, his creation was sessful. Would Long Haochens hard-made self-created ability be useless? Of course not, he made it especially because of his current circumstances. This was rted to a matter he used to be helpless about, which was his current identity which could be leaked out. But the enemies wont care about that: in case he encounters some powerful enemies, if he couldnt disy his full strength, then wouldnt it be the same as fighting with hands and legs tied? Therefore, this barrier was absolutely not aimed at countering Seere, but created solely for Long Haochens sake, to conceal his personal abilities. What Seere didnt know at all was that Long Haochens release of this barrier was only proof of his iparable determination to kill the enemy. The green spear in Seeres hand vibrated, and immediately, the surrounding sky started to twist violently. In the meantime, he shouted in rage to the lower ranked demons attempting to make their way through the barrier. They were not only unable to help in any way, but also contributed only to increasing the damage they sustained. With Seere and Long Haochens level of cultivation, the wavesing out from the shes between the two of them were sufficient to be impossible for them to resist. The spear was thrust out,unching nine green rays of light at Long Haochen. They had thicknessparable to chopsticks, contrasting greatly with Seeres previous disy of strength. This was the effect from a greatpression of his spiritual energy. In the end, as he was only at the eighth step, even after Demon Godification, Seere was unable to use the power of a domain. But in other aspects, his strength was greatly reinforced: for instance, this blow had a mightparable to the humans Spiritual Hignd. This powerful condensed attack was not a probing attack, but one of the powerful techniques at Seeres disposal after Demon Godification. In front of such an attack, Long Haochen remained at ease. An intense golden light glowed abruptly on his back, causing his body to shoot forward, facing the way of these nine rays. Want to dodge??Seere had been through the battlefield for many years already. The human powerhouses he had faced were not few, therefore he immediately determined the goal behind Long Haochens charge. Lightning sh reached an extremely high speed. Seeres response was simple. The nine rays were fused into a single one, aimed straight at Long Haochen. Right at this time, something Seere absolutely didnt expect happened. In a sh of purple light, Long Haochen who looked about to be hit by the nine condensed rays disappeared without a trace. Right, he didnt hide but just disappeared. The fact that it went through him and past the barrier was ample proof of that. A terrible explosion also followed. The full power strike from the Goblin Knight reached a terrifying power without doubt, and this being the demon camp, the ones at loss were only those lower ranked demons. Unfortunately, Long Haochen couldnt be credited with contribution points from Seeres attack on these demons. Disappeared? Spacial transportation??But I put so much pressure on him, how could heplete a spacial shift? At that very moment, Seeres eyes were full of shock. He was totally unable to believe a human reaching the eighth step could havepletelyprehended the profound mysteries between spacial transportation. And this was the middle of a battlefield! As far as he remembered, even a powerhouse of the ninth step couldnt do that while engaged with the enemy. In battle, the massive fluctuations of spiritual energy made the space unstable. In case something went wrong, he would get lost in this unstable space and no matter how terrible his strength is, he would still be totally unable to depart this world. But Long Haochen just disappeared like that, without leaving a single trace. The barrier of light outside was also starting to weaken gradually. He escaped??Seere let go of the spear in his hands, but remained extremely prudent and didnt deactivate his Demon God Transformation. Right as this Goblin Knight strode forward to exit the barrier of light, its light suddenly gained in intensity, and the signs of transparency that had started to manifest disappeared. This area was back to being isted from the whole outside world. Seere abruptly turned back, unconsiously gripping his spear. There came a sudden shot of drizzling light. Everywhere it passed through, the space was letting out a series of ripping sounds. Right, his opponent was back. But when Seere saw him again, his expression became totally filled with rm. Long Haochens armor wasnt golden anymore, but colored in a blindingly bright purplish-gold. On his chest, shoulders, and knees were some fierce head portraits, which all had different appearances. Each one differed in the horn on their foreheads. His mask also became purplish-golden colored, and from his forehead had appeared nine golden veined patterns. On his back, four gigantic purplish golden wings were spread out. From this abrupt uparable pressure, Even in his Demon God Transformation, Seere found it hard to even breathe. Under the cover of this purplish golden color, each of Long Haochens hands were gripping a different sword. The one on his left hand was letting out dark green glints, while the right one was glinting with an orange radiance. Long Haochens left feet was brazenly shot forward against Seeres glittering green spear, and immediately released twisted waves. A terrifying spiritual energy was unleashed, flooding the area like a tsunami. The inside of the barrier was full of twisted waves, and in arge area outside of it, a great amount of lower ranked demons were swept away, all turning into broken powder. Essence of Disorder, using five elements, that was the greatest skill belonging to Haoyue. Seeres attack was annihted almost instantly, and his body found itself caught up into these powerful twisted lights. Although Essence of Disorder couldnt inflict serious wounds on Seere due to his transformation-enhanced strength reaching the ninth step, that terrifying attack was madly cutting through his skin, greatly depleting his spiritual energy. More importantly, while inside it, Seere was greatly slowed down. He now needed to put all his energy into resisting Essence of Disorder. Moving would deplete even more of his spiritual energy and besides, he couldnt do that quickly. Right then, Long Haochen made a move. Shooting his left foot forward, he waved the already unsealed Aria of the Goddess of Light on his right hand,unching a simple sh at the enemy. This attack looked simple but was extremely brutal. An extremely concentrated sword intent was concentrated inside that glinting orange sword, and the extremely terrifying waves of spiritual energy which vanished were concentrated inside. Even the surrounding Essence of Disorder was rapidly repelled by this attack, making a path avable for Long Haochens assault. At this time, the Goblin Knight was facing an immense pressure due to the incredibly vast Essence of Disorder surrounding him. RaaaC The fierce looking goblin bellowed pathetically. The spear in Seeres hand abruptly took a provoking stance. That instant, it turned into a brilliant dark green color, with countless dark airstreams condensing on the tip, making a direct sh with the shing Aria of the Goddess of Light. DangC With crisp sounds, Long Haochen repelled the spear with his Aria of the Goddess of Light. Seere felt as if struck by a thunderbolt, his whole body contorting violently. The tip of the spear in his hand crackled. His breath loosened as he was already having ideas of retreat. And in the meantime, Long Haochen swept through. the sky like a tornado, this time wielding dual swords instead of a single one. It couldnt be possible for Long Haochen alone to unleash such an overwhelming sword intent. But with the Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, plus the Golden Foundation Armor and the amplification of Haoyue on his armor, his strength became a whole level more frightful than Seeres. And what he was now using was the self-created ability of his father, the Divine Knight Long Xinyu: Condemning Revolving Swords. Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Goblin Knight (III)

# After reaching the eighth step, Long Haochen was finally able to disy the true power in his previous attack, finallyprehending the true essence of Condemning Revolving Sword. Its real secret was to leave the enemy without a way out, without escape, to borrow all the surrounding force for a sure kill strike. _Dang, dang_. Two crisp sounds followed, as Seere slightly drew back. But his eyes were full of shock because of finding out that although Long Haochens two swords were greatly powerful, the power they released was significantly different to the previous attack. In fact, the previous attack which borrowed power from Asura Strike was so powerful that it caused great damage to the channels in Seeres two hands. He knew clearly that if he werent in the Demon God Transformation, the previous attack would have left him in an unthinkable state. _Bing weaker all of a sudden? Could he have used everything he had on the previous attack?_ These were Seeres thoughts. And at this time Condemning Revolving Sword erupted. In the midst of greatly concentrated shing sounds, a terrible spiritual energy was unconsciously spread from the continuous shes between the two parties. By now, there were no more lower ranked demons that dared approach their battlefield. The bitter lesson from before already taught them that this was no less than and of death. Seeres rejoicing onlysted for a short while before turning into panicked shock. Horror-stricken, as Haochen was spinning at great speed, he suddenly released a powerful attractive force, which sucked in his body, making it impossible for him to escape. As a result, all he could do was to struggle with all his might. But at every sh, he could feel that some of the strength in his spear was absorbed by the enemys dual swords and this would only result in an increase in the strength of Long Haochens next attack. Such attacks not only depleted him without pause, but, most of all, were destroying him little by little. How could Seere remain at ease against such a power? Although these were the demon camps, and he had his demon god pir nearby, wasnt he just facing Long Haochen all alone The other demon gods were chasing after the powerhouses of the Assassin Temple, so even if they were to notice the abnormality of the situation here, they would still not necessarily rush to his ce in time. And moreover, this zone of the battlefield was perfectly masked by the enemy. In fact, this light looked as if it was only excluding the low levelled demons. A battle between a demon god and a Golden Foundation Armored Knight should normally be advantageous for the demon god. Therefore, the probability of the other demon godsing to his rescue was really small, at least for the time-being. The fluctuations of spiritual energy on Seeres body increased along with Long Haochens strengthening, but only he knew how close to his limits he was nearing. If he broke through the limits, his resistance would immediately deplete suddenly, and what would follow would be the moment of his death. The winged horse now transformed into armor was certainly unable to resist these two swords of epic tier. The Goblin Knight didnt know how Long Haochen made his cultivation break through to the ninth step, but inparison, the quality of their equipment was far too different. A demon god pir was a demon gods greatest piece of equipment,parable to a divine tool. But this piece of equipment was already helping Seere to break through the ninth step, in addition to having other special abilities. But how about Long Haochen? He had at least three pieces of equipment at the epic tier, without mentioning the purplish golden light on him. However, the current Seere didnt have the time nor the energy to focus on making such an analysis. His green spear was already full of cracks, and could now crumble at any time. Right at this time, Seere suddenly let out a mad howl, and stopped caring about Long Haochens attacks, abruptly thrusting his green spear at Haochens revolving body. This was a strategy of mutual destruction. But as Long Xingyus most ultimate secret, the true essence of which was already grasped by Long Haochen, how could it be counteracted so simply? The revolving stance didnt change. A green light and a red light came out fiercely from Seeres body, attempting to cut through the dual swords, and in the midst of those killing spirals, Seeres body wascerated at an astonishing speed. As for his previous thrusting attack, it only streaked by Haochens side and didnt hit him at all. The Golden Foundation Armorbined with Haoyues powerhow could that defense be weak? It was sufficient to reach a boost matching the level of a divine tool, to say nothing about the powerful might produced by Condemning Revolving Swords. The more time passed, the more this flow of power was reinforced with Spiritual Hignd.. As both sides were defending against each other, Seeres attacks were extinguished like a series of sparkles. But would this Goblin Knight just die like that? Just think of the moment of Andromalius death. Just what happened to Andromalius when up against the slightly stronger Forest Boa King? He had used a totally unpredictable crafty escape n, and the Goblin Knight was right in the exact same situation as him. A green colored shadow appeared almost instantly, right when Seere and his spear were split to fragments. It was Seeres shadow-form,ing out from his body in the shape of another him. That was the reincarnation allowed by his Demon God Transformation. The reincarnation would normally rush to join the side of its demon god pir, but Seere didnt dare do so. Thats because the sucking power of Long Haochens Condemning Revolving Swords was far too enormous. He didnt dare take such a gamble, as he would very likely not make it back that way. Therefore, he forcefully used this ability, despite the even greater damage inflicted to his core. By now, he had turned back to his original handsome looks, only his face appearing pale, and his scarlet colored eyes far darker. Without the least hesitation, the shadow-form separated itself from Seere to run away. Even for a demon god, fully using an ability separating oneself from his body was not such an easy feat. This woulde with an enormous consumption, and result in an inability to use Demon Godification for some time after that. And furthermore, ites with the obligation of giving up on the equipment on the body. This increases even further the effects of depleting ones strength. Without using the Great Demonic Copse Technique, it would be impossible for the user to return to his peak condition. Back then, Long Haochens group managed to kill the Snake Demon God in such a state. Seere was already really afraid. Facing Long Haochen as he wielded his Condemning Revolving Sword and in his peak condition, he didnt have the slightest possibility to fight back. In a state where both parties were borrowing outside help to reach the ninth step, how could hepare with a gods chosen one at the ninth step? Seeres fear was not only based on the strength wielded by Long Haochen, but also on the characteristic aura about him. He already discerned Haoyues own aura in it. In such a situation, how could he do something else than escape? As long as he managed to pass the message, the other demon gods would join hands to beat Long Haochen, and his contribution would be enough to gain the Demon God Emperors favor, directly giving him a ce amongst the top 36 demon gods. The Demon God Emperor had his own ways to increase the strength of a demon god. However, the Goblin Knights thought was based on the major premise that he would surely make it back alive, to be able to notify the other demon gods. The instant he turned his head, the bright color of the golden barrier released by Long Haochen suddenly gained in intensity. This instant, it not only blocked ones line of sight but also all sounds. Even if Seere were to shout, the outside world wouldnt be able to hear him. Ever since starting to go all out, Long Haochen had already made the preparations to adapt to any turn of situation, to avoid letting the enemy have any chance. In Seeres only path of escape, a pitch ck shadow suddenly appeared. It had a sad and beautiful appearance, carrying along long and narrow tree leaves in the night sky, and naturally letting off an impression of destion. First of the seven arts of death, Death in Childhood. Caier finally made a move. As early as when Long Haochen brought Seere here, Caier was concealed to the side, attentively watching this battle. She was waiting for Long Haochens signal. Caier didnt at all expect that Long Haochens current strength was actually enough to really face a demon god head-on by himselfeven if this demon god was only at the peak of the eighth step. It was not only about facing off, but Long Haochen managed to even aplish a victorious battle. Caier was starting to really understand why her great-grandfather felt some jealousy towards Long Haochen. His status as Saint Knight Head was definitely well deserved. Amongst all Saint Knights of the eighth step, was there even anyone who couldpare with him in this fused state? Seere didnt know what Long Haochen did, but Caier understood thoroughly. Against Seeres full strength attack, Long Haochen obviously didnt use an ability of spatial transportation as his cultivation was far from sufficient from that. He teleported using Haoyue. Through Long Haochen and Haoyues blood contract, he was pulled to Haoyues world, before initiating the fusion and transporting himself to the two divine swords. The only thing that baffled Caier totally was Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. She knew about this divine sword, butpared to before, its power and color had undergone colossal changes, jumping unexpectedly to the epic tier. Through observation of this battle, Caier deeply realized the gap in strength between her and Haochen. Maybe she could, by relying on the seven arts of the god of death,pare to Long Haochen in burst power, but Long Haochen had many methods to escape battle. In contrast, her seven arts of the god of death came with a considerable and terrifying cost. While Caier had these thoughts, she felt very blessed for the man she liked to be so strong and iparable. Although it wouldnt fit Caiers character to have a smitten look while watching Long Haochens great might while fighting off the Goblin Knight, her feelings couldnt help but be stirred. But as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, theres no way she would let her feelings affect her decisions on the battlefield. As Seeres other body was swept by Condemning Revolving Swords, Caier knew that the time hade. Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Haoyues Armor Transformation, Double Divine Swords! (I)

# If she wasnt able to make a clear decision without a need for a signal from Long Haochen, Caier could be said to have wasted this year of training alongside Sheng Yue. The Sickle of the God of Death arose abruptly, letting Seere finally sense a truly immediate deadly threat. With an overwhelmed roar, he used his arms to contain the sickles attack. Seere was currently like Andromalius was in the past. Having lost the greatest part of his strength, he was not able to resist much in the face of the seven arts of death. Still, he was in a slightly better state than Andromalius, and wasnt instantly killed by Caiers attack. But even so, his arms were cut and letting out an unstoppable flow of ck blood. Seere let out a frantic bellow, and his whole bodys muscles and channels erupted all of a sudden. Greenish ck blood was pouring out from his mouth, shot at Caier ahead. In the meantime, his body swelled rapidly. Finally driven to desperate actions, he waspelled to use the Great Demonic Copse Technique. But withoutsting more than one second, his bellow was suddenly put to an end. His body went abruptly still in midair, and a terrible explosion followed. Seere turned into countless fragments scattered to all directions, without a single intact limb being left. Knowing full well about the demon gods dividing technique, enabling him to separate from his actual body, how could Long Haochen have only prepared Condemning Revolving Swords against him? Amongst the final secrets pertaining to Condemning Revolving Swords existed ast ultimate blow. This powerful technique wasnt simply about a release of power. Regardless of whether the enemy is killed through the incessant umtion of power, what could be done about such an umtion? This wasnt simply Long Haochens own strength, so if Condemning Revolving Swords was simply terminated, wouldnt it just result in a waste of this power? Therefore through his incessant gain ofprehension towards Condemning Revolving Swords and gain of experience toward sword intent, he finally borated ast strike for Condemning Revolving Swords. After attacking the enemy through series of rapid rotations, Long Haochens whole power and spiritual energy was poured into the two swords. Still remember about thest crossed attack he unleashed in his battle against Long Tianying? Take its power and add the might of the two divine swords along. Even a powerhouse such as Long Tianying, whose internal spiritual energy exceeded 200,000, had no choice but to deploy his Divine Throne to resist against that. Now it was Seere who, in a heavily wounded state, became the first offering for thispleted product. Green and red lights were mixed in the sky, letting out a bizarre glow. Some blue starlight went through them, mixed in with deep ck tints. The light only shed through for a bit, but its sublimated sword intent shed with its whole power on Seeres body. The Goblin Knight was instantly smashed to pieces, and a greenish ck Demon God Crown flew out, attempting to escape in the direction of its demon god pir. Long Haochens figure shed and blocked its way. As if turning alive, a portrait on his chest opened its mouth wide, forcefully swallowing that crown. Once again, Haoyue ate the crown as if it was some cheap item. Caier and Long Haochennded at the same time, then Haochen waved his hand to the former, who arrived by his side with a flip of her wing. In a sh of bright light, the two of them totally disappeared, and the golden barrier which was shrouding the area gradually dimmed down, disappearing. It was a must-do for Long Haochen to bring Caier away. The death of the Goblin Knight meant the instant loss of brilliance from his demon god pir. Even if the other six great demon gods were fools, they would still be able to tell that something happened. How could they possibly consider continuing to chase after the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple. Turning into six streaks of light, they flew over, heading straight for the battlefield where Long Haochen and Seere confronted each other. Unfortunately, at the time they arrived, Long Haochen and Caier were nowhere to be found. Seere remained, but only in the shape of fragments disseminated to the ground, without a way to tell them what had even happened. By then, the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were mostly all back to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The chase of the demon gods proved to be fruitful, having at least taken the lives of five Heroic Assassins. Fortunately, their escape was prompt, and the nine powerhouses of the ninth step had made it back. Under Sheng Yues lead, they joined hands to stop the demon gods chase, barely avoiding even more terrible damage. After getting raided in such way, the demon gods were enraged, and almost all used Demon Godification. A demon god of the ninth step in this state was overwhelmingly different than one at the eighth step! Sheng Yues crew had to make utmost efforts to achieve these results, to at least give the others a chance for escape. If the battle had kept going on, the Assassin Temple would have surely sustained even more damage. But at the crucial time, the lighting out from the Goblin Knights demon god pir had extinguished. The death of a demon god was a major event for all the demon gods. The six chasing demon gods immediately returned in great rm, and couldnt attend to detaining Sheng Yues group there. The process of Long Haochen and Seeres battle was veryplex, but in practice, the whole battle hadsted only for a few minutes. It was for the sake of rushing the battle that Long Haochen had revealed all his trumps like that. And for the same reason, he chose Seere, the weakest of them, as his opponent, and carried out a series of ns to greatly exceed the enemys strength. Coordinating perfectly with Caier, they finally managed to kill the enemy. The favor the Exorcist Mountain Pass owed him became really considerable. Ever since Long Haochens arrival, the mountain pass side had gotten rid of two among the eight opposite demon gods. And, none of their Demon God Crowns had managed to get away. To the demon side, the damage really was overwhelmingly heavy. In a streak of light, Long Haochen and Caier appeared inside the Tower of Eternity. This was an undoubtably safe ce. And right after the two of them appeared, Haoyue separated himself from Long Haochens body, heaving up his five heads to show an excited expression. Although Long Haochen and Haoyue had not met for a very long time, all along their link was never disconnected. Right aftering out from deep meditation, the first thing Long Haochen did was to contact Haoyue. But Haoyue seemed to have secluded himself in training. The increase of Haochens cultivation also served asrge boost for Haoyues. Haoyues body had be a lot thicker, and his scales were letting out some purple golden light. Although it couldnt be considered very conspicious, it was still a great qualitative changepared to before. Right aftering out from Long Haochens body, the fiverge heads immediately gathered in front of him, gently stroking him from all direction. This affection closely resembled the rtionship between a father and his son. Long Haochen gently carressed each of Haoyues massive heads. But two hands seemed not enough, so he had to hug them in turn. After over a year of separation, his heart had be full of longing. Little me, Light, Green, Blue and Purples horns became ry. The most beautiful was Little Blues butterfly horn. Thetters eyes gave off a soft, warm feeling, just like a shy well-breddy. As Caier stood aside, watching Long Haochen and Haoyues disy of affection, the killing intent in her eyes due to Death in Childhood gradually dissipated. Until now, the previous event still felt unreal in her eyes. The fatal strike of the zing Lion Demon God Allocer was, after all, inflicted by Sheng Yue, a well-experienced powerhouse of the ninth step, and moreover the chief of the Assassin Temple, whose strength was undoubtable. And furthermore, because of the unexpected aspect of the thing as well as perfect baiting, Allocer didnt even have the time to show off his talents before his death. But the Goblin Knights situation wasnt the same. Long Haochen took him head on in battle and defeated him. Caier was certain that even if she hadnt participated, the enemy would hardly have escaped this fate. From the final state of Seeres body alone, one could see how mighty was Long Haochens final strike. And the toughness of a demon gods body was as high as his spiritual energy. Alongside the tenderness of the look Caier had for Long Haochen, there appeared some sincere admiration. Over this year and a half, she relied only on herself, and trained very hard all the time, investing herself as much as she could. But even so, she realized that the gap between Haochen and her didnt narrow, but instead became far greater. In actual fact, Long Haochen had to put much thought into how to disy the best of his abilities without using Gods Descent. This relied on using his fusion with Haoyue as a recement for Gods Descent, while wielding the two divine swords at their full power. All this time, it had been nourished with the fallen meteors materials through Yatings great efforts, but that was finally over, resulting in an apparent increase in their quality. It went down to the extent that even in that optimum state, Long Haochen had difficulty in exploiting their full power. After everything was done, Long Haochen had amassed from todays continuous ughters close to a million contribution points. Just like that, he brought Caier out from there and returned. To say nothing about Caier, even Long Haochen himself felt that such a disy of power felt close to unreal. It felt as if the enemy had be much weaker. But in fact, it was due to the results of this past year and a half that he aplished all that. If it was someone other than him that had attempted to undergo a year and a half of deep meditation, that person would have surely turned mad. The state of deep meditation even exceeded what Caier experienced in the year that she assimted the Dagger of Samsara. At that time, Caier at least had the ability to form thoughts, but Long Haochens thinking needed to be restricted to produce that mystical state. Chapter 538 - Haoyue’s Armor Transformation, Double Divine Swords (II)

Chapter 538: Haoyues Armor Transformation, Double Divine Swords (II)

From another point of view, as the Scion of Light, a gods chosen one, it would rather be unnatural if Long Haochen hadnt made such qualitative progress after undergoing a year and a half of cultivation. Of course, he was still only able to confront a lower ranked demon god for now, dont forget that hes only twenty! After Haoyue and Long Haochen calmed down, a thought was spread by the former to Long Haochens mind. Haochen shook his head, This wont do. The time hasnte yet, the risk of exposing ourselves is too great. And besides, the other demon gods are still keeping watch, so we cannot be so impetuous. Dont worry, there will be a time to show your great skills. Haoyue was suggesting he go for the demon god pirs. Now, two of the eight located outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass had already lost their owners, making this the best opportunity to destroy them. But even without this suggestion, it wasnt as if Long Haochen didnt have such ideas. There were only seventy-two demon gods, among whom the Snake Demon God had already been annihted. One could say that every terminated demon god would shake a part of the demons foundation. But Long Haochen still didnt lose his reason. Thinking about the atrocious scene of the state the Exorcist Mountain Pass was in when he first came, he didnt dare act rashly. Otherwise, this will only inform the Demon God Emperor of his and Haoyues appearance here, resulting in arge scale invasion. How could the assassins side resist the Demon God Emperor? At that time, the whole Exorcist City was at risk of destruction, and the Assassin Temple might even be annihted as a result. Although he didnt know why the three greatest demon powerhouses still had yet to appear, this at least made the Temple Alliance able to bear the situation for the time being. Perhaps the Demon God Emperor was afraid of an oue of mutual destruction. For this reason, despite having killed two demon gods, their pirs couldnt be targeted rashly. Long Haochen definitely couldnt let his status be leaked out. With a smile, he said to Caier, Well have to return as fast as possible after we recover our spiritual energy, or great-grandfather-inw will worry. Haoyue didnt remain here and transported himself to his original world. His ability seemed to have strengthened greatly, and Long Haochen could faintly sense that Haoyue had reached another bottleneck, which could be broken through at anytime. His massive body was clearly swollen in ces. If he were to evolve once again, what kind of abilities would it result in? Thinking about this point, Long Haochen couldnt help but show some expectations. With Haoyues ability to destroy demon god pirs, the growth of his strength made their future prospects all the greater. To the demon side, the death of the Goblin Knight Seere was a huge blow. In the main demon tent, six individuals had different looks, but all of them had a grave expression with the imposing manners of demon gods, and the whole tent let out an iparably pressuring atmosphere. We absolutely cant let it pass. A furious shout cut the silence in the tent. The one who spoke was a tall, winged, cow-horned individual with a very strong build. That was the Winged Ox Demon Sagan. And his fury was to be expected. Over the past years, Allocer, Seere and him were keeping watch on the Exorcist Mountain Pass together, but now that Allocer and Seere were dead, how could he have no feelings of sympathy for them? Hearing him, the other demon gods showed different reactions. Among the six demon gods, the one sitting at the head of the group had the appearance of a human girl of extreme beauty. She was d in a long pink colored skirt, had pink colored hair as well as a pair of mystifying pink eyes. Her skin was fair white, and her beauty reached an extreme level. In contrast, her temper looked extremely fiery, reaching above 1.8 meters in size. If ced amongst human girls, she would definitely stand out. And concealing her chest was very little cloth, revealing a deep ravine in between. That towering pair seemed as if it could break her clothes at anytime. If one were to pay careful attention, hed notice that the other demon gods didnt dare cross eyes with her, and didnt even dare look at her for long. That was the twelfth ranked demon god Sytry. The demon gods rankings were of extreme importance, and being the twelfth ranked, her strength was obvious. She also stood as themander of the demon forces standing outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and every one of the demon gods present here were listening to her arrangements. Despite having the outside appearance of a mere girl, none of the demon gods doubted her ability. Sytry had a very grave and stern expression, giving off a cool elegance. Her look swept over to the Winged-Ox Demon Sagan. At her look, his previously extreme rage immediately ceased. Sytry indifferently spoke out, Say something, the rest of you. What are your views? I agree with Sagan. We cannot let it pass like that. The humans dared raid us: if we dont give them a thorough lesson, wouldnt they just keep bing more rampant? After both Allocer and Seere died, if we cant make some contributions to make up for it, His Majestys me isnt something any one of us could bear. The one speaking was a slightly-built man-shaped demon god surrounded by a ck shadow. Long Haochen and Caier should recognize him, because he had appeared alongside Allocer around the city walls to surprise attack Caier. However, the final oue of this was the worst possible. It resulted only in the death of the zing Lion Demon God outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass. It was the 45th ranked demon god, leading the Invisible Demons of the Dyke n, Invisible Demon God Vine. Sytry narrowed her eyes and asked, Have the counts of the deceasede out? They have. Sagan immediately continued, The casualties are heavy. 1,400 individuals at the sixth step or above died. And below that, the casualties are also above 3,000. Even for the demons who had an overwhelming number of powerhouses, these casualties were really massive, especially since the ones concerned were demons of the sixth step and above, which couldnt be cultivated with a flip of a hand. Hearing this, Sytrys eyes immediately shed with a fierce glint. As she slowly got up, her enormous bosom swayed. Tomorrow,unch a strong attack at dawn. This time, we wont stop until we break through the Exorcist Mountain Pass. She was also extremely furious. Although she wasnt willing to admit it, the Invisible Demon God Vine was right. They would hardly be able to ount for the death of two demon gods. Ever since the start of the Holy War, this was the first time demon gods were amongst the casualties. Shouldnt we discuss it a little more, Sytry? A tall demon sitting on one side remaked, His Majesty wanted us deplete the human force through continuous battle, and refrain from breaking through the mountain pass. Sytry swept a cold gaze, What? Do you have an objection? That demon god immediately shivered, then lowered his head and turned silent. For her to be inmand of the whole demon forces threatening the Exorcist Mountain Pass, it was impossible for Sytry to have no way to suppress the other demon gods. Act ording to my ns. Yes! The other demon gods stood one after another, before turning around to leave the tent. Exorcist Mountain Pass. Sheng Yues anxiety finally eased, as Long Haochen and Caier were finally back. This operation could only be said to havee out as a sess for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Although a few heroic grade assassins died, the damage they inflicted on the enemy was even more severe. At least a fifth of their powerhouses of the sixth step or above had died in this attack. Furthermore, though he didnt see what happened on Long Haochen and Caiers side, the loss of glow from Seeres demon god pir was something their side had noticed. Could Long Haochen really have killed a demon god? Sheng Yue didnt dare believe that. Regardless of the rest, Long Haochen was only a cultivator at the eighth step. But it wasnt impossible either: he had personally viewed the great power that Long Haochens forbidden spell wielded. Obviously, he could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary powerhouse of the eighth step. Immediately after recovering some spiritual energy in the Tower of Eternity, the two of them returned to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Aftering out of nowhere, they immediately concealed their presence. Caier naturally went invisible, and Long Haochen was d in the cloak he had prepared long ago. His mental force was surrounding his body, masking his presence. Then Caier just grabbed his hand to fly away together, a great benefit of having arade alongside. Otherwise, Long Haochen would have had to think of a way to return from the surface, for the sake of concealing his identity. Did you really kill Seere? Sheng Yue had his eyes wide open as he asked Long Haochen and Caier. Caier stuck out her tongue, then stepped back and pointed at Long Haochen without the slightestradeship, Hes the one whos nned everything, and also the main instigator. I only attacked once. Sheng Yue immediately nced at him. And this was not only the case for him, but also the other powerhouses of the ninth step and Heroic Assassins were still beside him. After they returned, they immediately gathered, and because Long Haochen and Caier had yet to be back, Sheng Yue didnt let them disperse so fast. He wanted to wait for Long Haochen and Caiers news, and if it had taken too long, maybe they would have returned to the demon camp in search for the two of them. Long Haochen nodded, We were quite lucky. Seere is the seventieth ranked demon god, a rather weak one, in addition to having fallen for our ambush. We seeded in killing him, and his Demon God Crown was swallowed by my magical beastpanion. The magical beastpanion he was speaking about was Haoyue, but of course, the assassin powerhouses present thought this was about Star King. Hearing his exnation which couldnt be formted more simply than that, the higher-ups of the Assassin Temple looked at each other in dismay, totally devoid of words. The Goblin Knight Demon God was easy to handle just because of being low ranked? It wasnt for only one day or two that theyd had dealings with these demon gods. Relying on the boost from his demon god pir, Seeres fighting strength reached the ninth step, and he had a few special abilities serving as means of survival. Even these assassins with extreme burst power hadnt managed to kill him even after so many years, yet Long Haochen made it sound so simple. The question was, just how did he seed?

Chapter 539: Haoyues Armor Transformation, Double Divine Swords (III)

# Looks of unbelief appeared on the faces of all the assassins present.. After standing shocked for a short time, Sheng Yue immediately had an unsightly look. An iparably unsightly one at that. Have you forgotten about what I said before we set out? I said that you are not permitted to go after the demon gods. What if your attack on Seere had failed? How do you suppose I would make an ount to the Knight Temple? This heroic senior was extremely furious. Out of everyone here, he knew the best what Long Haochen and Caier meant for the Alliance. If Long Haochen were to die like that, to say nothing of himself, no one could ount for that loss. Long Haochen couldnt show weakness at that time, because he was representing the Knight Temple as their Provisional Saint Knight Head. Temple Head, please calm down. I had already made meticulous preparations before that, so even if our attack on the Goblin Knight Demon had failed, Caier and I had certain ways to get away. I have a divine tool which can breach space and bring the two of us into another dimension, where we can stay for a long time. And it was by relying on it that the two of us made off after killing Seere. Hearing the words divine tool, Sheng Yue had a nk look, and the other assassins had simr expressions. A divine tool enabling an escape through space is something that took the attention of everyone present. That was the first time they were hearing of such a divine tool. Especially to an assassin, the ability of escaping to another dimension for a long time was really attractive. Did you receive it from your Knight Temple? Sheng Yue unconsciously blurted out. Long Haochen shook his head, It is mine, or more urately speaking, our teams. Sheng Yues nce turned to Caier, seeing his great-granddaughter nod without hesitation. Letting out a low sigh, Sheng Yue remarked, All right. Since thats how things are, I wont insist. No matter what, you have gotten rid of a demon god for our Exorcist Mountain Pass, which is a great sess. However, we can predict that after what happened tonight, a demon counterattack will follow immediately. Their vengefulness is extremely high. Lets gather the magical crystals everyone has collected from this operation in preparation for that, to show them the power of our magic cannons. Yes! All the seniors looked full of excitement. How long had it been since they had such a delightful battle? Just as Long Haochen said, assassins are not most expert in defensive battles, but in night attacks and ambushes! After sustaining such a surprise attack and losing so much power, even if the demons were to initiate an attack against the Exorcist Mountain Pass, their strength was limited. And, with the help from Long Haochens forbidden spell, the soldiers and manpower currently in the Exorcist Mountain Pass were back to their old looks. Temple Head, I request participating in the defensive battle. Long Haochen immediately expressed. Sheng Yue snorted, Even if you didnt want to participate, youd still have to. Our Exorcist Mountain Pass is the mostcking in priests. Han Yu and you will be ying the role of our priests. Things couldnt be better if you can once again activate the forbidden spell of that day. Eh Long Haochen was speechless, secretly thinking, _Im a knight, not a priest!_ However, Sheng Yue had let him off with such difficulty, so he couldnt express his dissatisfaction so bluntly. On the contrary, Caier kept close to Long Haochens side with a sweet smile on her face. Her mood could hardly be any better, as if she had her own definite view of things. The demons attack came without any prior indication. Upon daybreak, a demon army came tounch a sudden attack, with a tide of countless Dual ded Demons surging towards the Exorcist Mountain Pass. As they ran, their ded hands repeatedly stabbed the ground, as they were letting out unpleasant swishing sounds. Darkness and reeking of blood were enveloping the Exorcist Mountain Pass once again. From the defensive fort of the Exorcist Mountain Pass came out about half of the original forces forming the Brilliant Knight Regiment. In the past, they had always acted as a reserve force, only dispatched at the most critical times. Even so, they had lost a half of their troops over this period of more than a year. It wasnt that Sheng Yue didnt want to use them, but only, as the aid the Knight Temple sent out for the Assassin Temple, how could they lightly permit their visitors to bear the brunt of the danger? Therefore, unless it was unavoidable, Sheng Yue and Sheng Lingxin didnt use this knight regiment. The knights forming the Brilliant Knight Regiment were of course not acting as priests. They were expert in group battles and had an astonishing defensive strength, but their cultivation limited them, as they werent really expert at healing. But when defending the city, they were much more effective than your average soldier or powerhouse from the Assassin Temple. The knights were serenely standing on a wall on the fortress. Alongside every one of them was arge amount of soldiers as well as powerhouses from the Assassin Temple. A retaliation on arge scale was unavoidable and this battle would inevitably be iparably dangerous. Sheng Lingxin, who was the most familiar with the demons military strategies had already thought of a n on how to confront a full force demon attack. Therefore, all the trump cards at their disposal were taken out. After the knights forming the Brilliant Knight Regiments were done forming up ranks, they all immediately turned around together, making a knight salute towards the second floor of the fortress. The knights knocked on their chest, producing crashing sounds that reverberated through the whole fortress. Somber shouts followed immediately, and these tinkling sounds became arge boost of morale for the soldiers. Of course, Sheng Lingxin knew that they werent aiming this salute at him. The Brilliant Knight Regiment was under hismand, but this kind of salute was only done among fellow knights. Standing at Sheng Lingxins side, Long Haochen stepped across and firmly thumped his right fist onto his chest, abruptly lifting Rippling Light high, letting out a loud shout, For the knights glory! This loud shout reverberated in the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass, and at the same time, a brilliant pir of light erupted from his sword, forming the first stream of light shining upon the Exorcist Mountain Pass on the verge of dawn. For the knights glory! Every knight present shouted at the same time. They all knew that their Saint Knight Head hade to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Although this person was merely a Provisional Saint Knight Head, to the Brilliant Knight Regiment, it felt as if they were greeting a rtive. To them, the important thing wasnt who this Saint Knight Head was, but that the Knight Temple actually dispatched him to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Just what did it mean? It meant that the Knight Temple was supporting the Assassin Temple, that they hadnt forgotten about them. Since their senior the Saint Knight Head hade, didnt it mean that he wouldmand them? Whats more, Long Haochen had already made two great contributions on the first day after his arrival, and his iparably powerful forbidden spell nketed the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass. By now, his fame in the Exorcist Mountain Pass was nearlyparable to Sheng Yues, and to this Brilliant Knight Regiment, that was a matchless honor. No other vocation valued honor as highly as the knights. Honor is the most glorious thing in a knights life, making their fighting strength the most terrible. At that very moment, for the Brilliant Knight Regiment that had been experiencing such exhaustion, it was as if they were regaining their spirits. Even by only standing on the second floor and watching these warriors, he could sense the fric fighting intenting out from them. At Long Haochens side, Sheng Lingxin was now silently cursing at him. These knights treatment of him was undoubtedly very good too, but after all, this guy was from the Knight Temple! Even if Long Haochen had never had true dealings with them before, they unexpectedly showed such high morale just from his presence. How could this not be a terrible source of jealousy? But of course, this jealousy was absolutely not a negative feeling. The person in question was, after all, his son-inw. They could be considered to already be from the same family. Obviously, it was impossible for Sheng Lingxin to say that he felt no sense of loss. His position in the Assassin Temple was quite considerable, butpared to Long Haochens position in his Knight Temple, it paled into insignificance. Sheng Lingxin rapidly dispelled these thoughts and passed down a series of orders. Are the magic cannons all ready? The preparations are done. A total of 21 intact magic cannons have been put into the battlefield. They have all been charged with magic crystals. Sheng Lingxin asked after a short time of ponder, For how long can theyst in battle? If the attack persists, we canst with the magic crystals we have on hand for twelve hours. To prevent overheating, the best would be to undergo a process of cooling off once every quarter of an hour. Sheng Lingxin nodded. The renewed possibility for the Magic Cannons to be used greatly boosted his confidence. Are the assigned teams in position? All ready! Good! Sheng Lingxins eyes shone with vigor, then he let out an awe-inspiring aura, Give my order that after the Dual ded Demons start their attack, the soldiers will join hands with the Brilliant Knight Regiment to keep them outside the walls. The Magic Cannons will all be aimed at the aerial threats. In case the enemy air forcees, lets give them a hard beating. Yes! Long Haochen was still standing beside Sheng Lingxin. Hearing his series of orders, he could tell that the Exorcist Mountain Pass shape was not so good. Although the Alliance kept sending reinforcements, the endless demon offenses finally caused the full consumption of the forts defensive tools. This time, they were able to replenish their magic cannons, but the Exorcist Mountain Pass was still vastly inferior in terms of strength. Now, they could only hope that the Six Great Demon Gods wont join the battle. Otherwise, this battle will be quite hard. Chief, its an emergency, have a look! A soldier surveying the situation from afar suddenly shouted. Chapter 540 - Star Domain

Chapter 540: Star Domain

Sheng Lingxin hastened to the first lookout point in the second floor of the fortress. Then the look on his rxed face immediately changed greatly. Long Haochen followed him to watch the situation from above, and his mood immediately became heavy from the sight. It was merely that, within the demon armies approaching from afar, six gigantic brilliant pirs were soaring and shining upon the whole demon army. And, these six gigantic pirs were gradually approaching the Exorcist Mountain Pass. No doubt, these were the six demon god pirs. From the information that the Exorcist Mountain Pass had, outside of the Winged Ox Demon Sagan, who was still at the peak of the eighth step, they all reached the ninth step. After borrowing power from the amplification of their demon god pir, their strength could only be described as terrifying. This disposition of forces from the demons clearly meant that they were prepared to have a battle to the death with the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Furthermore, the six great demon pirs were moving together, putting more pressure onto the Exorcist Mountain Pass as they were giving considerable boosts to the ordinary demons as well. At the same time, it gave an immense, ineffable boost to the demons morale. Sheng Lingxin clearly looked quite panicked. Although he had good self control, from his current silence one could see that the full force demon attack put massive pressure on the Exorcist Mountain Pass military. Uncle Sheng, dont worry. Lets take the necessary measures to adapt to the situation, Long Haochen whispered in his ear, in a low voice that was only heard by Sheng Lingxin. Sheng Lingxin turned his head and nced at him, before nodding rapidly. Long Haochen pulled Caiers hand, and told her after pondering for a short time, In arge scale battle, the soldiers morale is the most important. We have to avoid a loss of morale from our side. Caier, lets go up and give them a show. As he said that, Long Haochens right hand clenched and Star King appeared at his side. Ever since getting bathed in the rain of light initiated by Long Haochen, Star Kings demeanor seemed different. The golden tint in his pure white fur was even more conspicuous, and his eyes became even more limpid. Long Haochen started to raise himself higher, riding on Star Kings back. Sheng Lingxin became rmed, The Saint Knight Head shouldnt rush to action rashly. In the battlefield, he naturally couldnt use Long Haochens name. Haochen replied with a be at ease gesture, and called out to Caier, before tapping on Star Kings wings, which spread out to head upwards. Meanwhile, Caier turned into a gray glint that followed after Long Haochens back. Immense ck wings spread out from her, following Haochen in the area above the fortress. Long Haochen was waving to Caier to tell her to keep close to his side. In the meantime, the Dual ded Demons lower down were already starting their ascension of the Exorcist City, and the main demon forces were continuously advancing. After the two people had a short, simple conversation, they nodded in session before scattering to the two sides. The Exorcist Mountain was located high, in the mountains. Both sides of the city stood on peaks, therefore only the central area was exposed to the enemy. This was a true natural fortress. Relying on those natural advantages, the Exorcist Mountain Pass side had stopped the demons attacks a lot of times already. Long Haochen and Caier arrived rapidly at their respective sides of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Riding Star Kings back, Long Haochen softly patted him on his neck, Star King, the practical experience you will have in a bit should be beneficial for your evolution. Star King turned round to look at Long Haochen and gratefully nodded in response. Long Haochen took a deep breath, then recovered Rippling Light. Slowly lifting up his left hand, his Divine Shield of Sun and Moon was taken out, yet didnt release its habitual orange radiance. Long Haochen had a slight start, then raised his head to look at the sky. Immediately, he had a sh of realization. Right! Now was the time of daybreak, when sun and moon are crossing. The time when the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was losing effectiveness. But this totally ruined the n he had just formted alongside Caier. Caier and him could be said to have everyones total attention. In case of a careless mistake in the n, the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass would be the one suffering a terrible blow. On the other side, Caier was floating in midair, looking into the distance. At some point she lifted up her right hand above her head. At that time, the immense Sickle of the God of Death appeared in her hand soundlessly. Immediately, a wide expanse of gray airflow spread out with Caier as a center, and a dense killing intent spread out all around. Tyrannical waves of spiritual energy giving off a great feeling of substance surrounded her. Caiers hair started to rise up without the winds help, and her eyes gradually turned into a ck color. The Sickle of the God of Death shook slightly, and twisted gray waves surrounding her kept growing bigger. Long Haochen saw Caiers situation very clearly. His original n was to unleash his abilities as a gods chosen one alongside her. After all, the demon armies ahead didnt have knowledgeable demons such as Ahnan, and now that he had also switched mounts, they wouldnt easily recognize him. Moreover, he had to do it even if it meant getting recognized. If the Exorcist Mountain Pass didnt manage to resist, did it even matter to keep himself concealed any more? Seeing that Caier had already started to unleash her aura of death, Long Haochen didnt start to panic because he was unable to use the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Time waits on no one, and her move gave him the time to give further thoughts. Right now, Long Haochen didnt have any other choice. He didnt have the leisure to try to keep his identity concealed. Unable to wield the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, he only had the Aria of the Goddess of Light at his disposal for use. After all, he was still only at the eighth step, therefore relying only on his strength was far from sufficient. Perhaps Caiers cultivation was still below his, but she had the ability to fully use the divine tool at her disposal. Right when Long Haochen had steeled himself to use the Aria of the Goddess of Light at its full power, Star King sent him a message. Master, shall we give it another try? Maybe our joint strength can once again arouse that shields power. Long Haochen didnt have the time to ponder and epted promptly, Okay, then lets give it a try. Arge expanse of golden light spread out underneath Star Kings feet as his wings spread out. A golden Star of David extended at a frightening speed under him. As this went on, one could see the white hairs on Star Kings body turn golden at a frightening speed. Without a doubt, this Starlight Unicorn King was using his original power. The golden star shape on his forehead started to let out a dazzling brilliance, which was spreading all over his horn. At the start, it was only a tiny golden light. But it extended like a fire to form a pentagram, reaching a diameter of ten meters, surrounding Long Haochen and Star King. Just like when Long Haochen was using the Storing Power ability, a wide golden fog rose up above this pentagram. After Star Kings use of this ability, Long Haochen felt the light essence in him turning iparably thick, as almost all the light around seemed to be collected towards their side. In the sky, the light rays of dawn were a lot dimmer than at their first arrival, and their appearance illuminated the whole battlefield. Star King was using his exclusive ability, as welll as the most powerful skill useable by Starlight Unicorns. In his whole tribe, only he, as their king, was able to use it. Its name: Star Domain. Star Domain differed greatly from an ordinary domain used by powerhouses of the ninth step, because even as the strongest Starlight Unicorn, he was still only reaching the eighth step and no more. Therefore, the scale of the effects of this domain wouldnt be too great. Only reaching a diameter of ten meters, this domains utility followed along the Starlight Unicorns abilities, providing an all-around boost. It was able in a short time to increase the concentration of light essence within the domain by ten times, absorbing the light rays outside at a frantic speed to fill itself up. In this span of time, Star Kings body would enter a state close to self-ignition. Therefore this couldntst for too long, otherwise it would threaten his own life. The fact he was willing to use Star Domain could only mean that Star King put all his faith in Long Haochen, helping hit without sparing any sacrifices. In fact, Star King and Long Haochen didnt have any contract between them, and Long Haochen would definitely not force him into doing such a thing. This was a domains amplification! Although it didnt reach the level of a forbidden spell due to Star Kings level of cultivation, it was already approaching this realm. Long Haochen had almost no hesitation to force out the spiritual energy from his whole body, pouring it into the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Just before, Long Haochen foud himself unable to use the power of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon at the times of dawn and dusk, each of his attempts having turned fruitless. Even consuming his whole spiritual energy was of no use. After hisst experience of wielding the Divine Snail Shields power as a divine tool, Long Haochen reminisced once again about thest chant left by the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, faintly remembering the deep secrets of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. It was just that he couldnt unleash this power due to his insufficient level of cultivation. _Defense of Sun and Moon, borrowing strength from the owners heart. Guided by the Light,_ _Blessed_ _by the Gods. As surely as dawn brings a new day, and sunset a new night, when(or as) the sun and moon intertwine, the divine_ _snail shall act as shield_ _._ If Long Haochens guess was correct, this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon would, at such times, wield the power of a supra-divine tool. At this time, he didnt have the time to give much thought to it, and could only pour his spiritual energy into the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, attempting to release its might: After all, avoiding using the Aria of the Goddess of Light which would reveal his identity was the best. This time Long Haochen was confident, as he had the Golden Foundation Armor and Star King for support. And this support directly raised his spiritual energy to the state of spiritual hignd. After directly pouring pouring the spiritual energy elevated to the spiritual hignd into the Divine Snail Shield, its power was much greater. Long Tianying once told him that to activate a Divine Throne, the state of spiritual hignd was a must. Ordinary spiritual energy had no way to get a response from a Divine Throne. Not only Divine Thrones, but from Long Tianyings experience, almost all divine tools would require the state of spiritual hignd for activation. Caiers case was special. In fact, the Scythe of the God of Death had already be part of her body. At most she was unable to unleash its full might, but could at least use it. But, thinking in another direction, just think of how much Caier had to pay since her youth for it, and furthermore, its not something that just anyone could inherit. As his spiritual energy kept being poured in, Long Haochens whole perception of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon changed. On the other side, the murderous spirit released by Caier kept growing in intensity. In terms of might, it was far above Long Haochens side. After all, Star Kings Star Domain was far fromparing with the pure awe-inspiring power of the Scythe of the God of Death. The feeling the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon gave Long Haochen was like that of a bottomless abyss. His spiritual energy was rapidly drained, and in the meantime, the spiritual energying out from his Golden Foundation Armor started pouring out in torrents, passing through Star Kings Star Domain to be injected into the shield. Although the Divine Snail Shield had yet to give any response up to now, Long Haochen was d to see that on the horizon, white light was starting to appear. The sun was gradually showing its first rays. Be it at times of dusk or dawn, the times when the sun and moon cross are very short. Only after such times could Long Haochen use the Divine Snail Shields force. And the shield at its epic tier formbined with Gods Descent was ample to deter the enemy, and boost their own troops morale. War was already being carried out all around: the demon army was rapidly sweeping through, and in the fortress, the soldiers in the teams under the Brilliant Angel Knights were risking their lives and tenaciously suppressing the Dual ded Demons advance towards the fortress, preventing them from climbing through. Far off, in the demon armies ranks, Dual Headed Eagles and Birdy Demons were rushing at a frightening speed. The sky was clouded in darkness. With the support of the six great demon gods from the rear, these flying demons became all the more terrifying. On the ground, arge amount of middle levelled demons were mixing among the Dual ded Demons ranks, and approaching the fortress. In the meantime, the many Demonic Eye Soldiers and zing Devils were already preparing their magic. The Emo Demon God Sytry was in total fury. This time, she vited the Demon God Emperors orders andunched an all-out attack to avenge the two demon gods. Her n was simple: she wanted to destroy the Exorcist Mountain Pass and upy it, so that the demons would be able to advance into the Temple Alliances territory at any time. Of course, she wouldnt continue to march, otherwise this would really be a challenge towards the Demon God Emperors authority, which she didnt dare do. Chapter 541 - Descent! Multicolored Light (I)

Chapter 541: Descent! Multicolored Light (I)

Caier looked upwards, her long hair fluttering. Behind her head, the Scythe of the God of Death made a shing motion in the empty sky. Suddenly, a sparkling gray radiance spread out and filled the sky like tears. As it abruptly turned dim, an extremely sinister killing intent enveloped the whole demon army. Everywhere that gray radiance passed in the sky, a wide crack extended. In that ck crack, ck specks of light were produced, carrying a bitingly cold murderous intent. At Caiers back appeared a tall virtual silhouette, extending over hundreds of meters and carrying a simr gigantic scythe. From the looks of it, it seemed to be an erged version of Caiers, only differing in its gray and illusory form. The same leak of murderous spirit had entirely different effects on the Exorcist Mountain Pass. All the soldiers here only felt instant bursts of murderous spirit submerge into them, causing their killing intents to rise subliminally. In their hearts, the war had be their most sacred mission, which gave them the energy to face any enemy. ughters Realm, one of Caiers Gods Descent techniques Its effects were unrted to her own cultivation, as its great ability came entirely from the Gods Descent. Of course, due to Caiers insufficient cultivation, it was impossible to extend ughters Realm to too great a scale. But in the current focus on close quarters battles, maintaining this ability was enough to provide support to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. ughters Realm greatly reduced the enemies momentum due to the terrifying murderous spirit spreading in their ranks. Fear started to rise inside the demons, greatly lowering their fighting strength, while the allies murderous spirit had a global upgrade. The rise of their murderous spirit enabled them to wield 120 percent of their normal strength, while bing unaffected by any external influence. This was the first time Caier had attempted to use this realm. She couldnt maintain it for too long a time, and hadnt used it for real until now, due tocking self-confidence. Before her loss of memories, this would never have happened. But Long Haochens return not only brought her joy, but also gave the allies someone to rely on. After that stability was gained, her self confidence was boosted, and she managed to unleash the power from her gods descent. Due to the influence from ughters Realm, the soldiers from the Exorcist Mountain Pass immediately gained in momentum, and the rushing demons were forced to back down. In their eyes, the six distant demon god pirs only worked asmps, and didnt affect their morale anymore. In contrast, from the effects of ughters Realm, the demons offense abruptly slowed down, causing them to show sluggish reactions. The lower ones cultivation, the greater the effects of this realm, and naturally, the power of a gods chosen one perfectly matching with their associated divine tool was not something powerhouses at the same cultivation level couldpare to, not to mention lower levels. Caiers Gods Descent alone gave a new boost to their suppressed armies, but on the other side, Long Haochen had yet to show movement. His spiritual energy had yet to finish pouring out, and Star Kings Star Domain was also still ongoing. Any absorbed light essence would be supplied to Long Haochen, and like that, the amount of Long Haochens spiritual higndized spiritual energy that had poured into the shield became close to 100,000. His pouring speed had yet to show traces of slowing down. What about Long Haochens summed up strength? Hes a gods chosen one, who benefitted from the effects of Sacred Rain, making his light affinity even greater. Therefore, all the light element present here would be iparably attracted to him. The powerful piece of equipment of epic tier called Golden Foundation Armor gave him a powerful boost as well, and he had Star Kings domain which couldpare to a forbidden spell. Even though Long Haochens cultivation couldnt rise to a phenomenal level in such a short span of time, his fighting strength made qualitative leaps. And this whole fighting strength, in Spiritual Hignd mode, was supplied to his Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Having been with this shield for a long time already, Long Haochen could sense that every time he used it, the level of ord between them would rise a bit. All along, he could feel that his control over it was growing. At the very moment, although he still had yet to activate the Divine Snail Shield, he faintly sensed that it was umting power, and could now erupt at any moment. This eruption required him to provide an uninterrupted supply of this Spiritual Hignd energy. Long Haochens gaze was aimed towards the horizon, where the sunlight was gradually rising. Dawn was close to its end, and the sunlight was about to spill around the earth. Could the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon really awaken in time? In reality, Long Haochens estimate of the Divine Snail Shields ability was urate. The chant of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was actually a message to tell him that to unleash the most of the Divine Snail Shields power, it had to be used at dawn or dusk. But Long Haochens current cultivation was still too low for that, far too low. Therefore, no matter how hard he tried, and how much help Star King gave, he still didnt manage to aplish that before dawn passed. The six great demon gods were still floating behind, wrapped inside their own demon god pirs, and the Emo Demon God Sytry coldly gazed at the distant fortress, showing the same expression, but secretly startled. The powerful murderous spirit Caier generated produced some panic deep inside her. With Caiers level of cultivation, Sytry could naturally tell that this was a Gods Descent technique, borrowing from the power of a god to attain such a formidable might. But until this day, the Exorcist Mountain Pass had never showed such a scene. Vine, is that the human you attempted to assassinate alongside Allocer? Sytry pointed Caier out to the nearby Invisible Demon God. Vine nodded to her, Thats her. But her strength just seems a lot greater. Sytry let out a snort, Thats not her strength, but the strength she borrows from a god. A gods chosen one. It looks like shes probably that human girl our crown prince mentioned. So the Assassin Temple was the ce where she had escaped to. Vine continued in a grave tone, That one is the knight that came so suddenly that day, blocking Allocers path of return and blocking my attacks. I see him as an even more dangerous opponent. If not for him, Allocer wouldnt have died. What is he nning this time? Sytry narrowed her eyes, No matter what he is nning, today will be the day of his death. Allocer and Seere will be buried alongside him. Hes also the source of the forbidden spell of that day, but dont you find it strange? Despite this humans cultivation having yet to reach their so-called ninth step, it still means he was reaching at least 100,000? Howe he managed to use a forbidden spell? Vine replied, This human may have some special equipment. Hes wearing a Golden Foundation Armor belonging to the Knight Temple. The boost provided by this armor is very great, and the shield he used that day against me was extremely tough as well. If not for that, theres no way he could have stopped many attacks from me. Sytry coldly remarked, So these humans believe that they are the only ones that can use forbidden spells? You guys provide cover for me, I will show them our demon races true strength. While saying that, Sytrys body slowly rose higher, as the other five demon gods gathered alongside her. The six demon god pirs gathered in the shape of a blossoming flower, with the other five demon gods outside, surrounding and protecting the Emo Demon God Sytry. Sytry slowly raised her hands, and her demon god pir abruptly burst out with gaudy pink light. Seeing this pink brilliance gave a sweet and sentimental feeling, as if someone were to snatch something from your heart. This itching feeling was hardly bearable. Sytry was d in a long pink skirt, and her pink hair and eyes, as well as her fiery figure, were extremely enticing. Softly chanting, she started to release pink circles of light. Now, as the twelfth ranked demon god, one could see how powerful she was. Her incantation had just started, yet the power of her forbidden spell was already visible. The purple circles that wereing out from her body condensed gradually in the sky, forming a gigantic figure which was tenfold taller than the one behind Caier. As the purple htion was increasing, this figures shape became clearer and clearer. Shockingly, this figure belonged to the Emo Demon God herself, an infinitelyrger version of Sytry. Her charm was entirely replicated by this gigantic figure, and was growing even further. Even the six demon god pirs brilliance started to look fainter because of this figure. At this sight, even Caiers ughters Realm started to lose in efficacy. The human soldiers all started to feel some panic, for this figure was really far toorge, to the extent that to avoid looking at it was already impossible. Sytrys beauty had a boundless charm, causing anyone to be lost in wild and fanciful thoughts: this perfect figure caused all men to have fantasies. The long pink skirt forming the little clothing she had on was lightly swaying. As her figure became clearer, the human soldiers breathing clearly became more fric. The humans started to be lost in their most primitive desires, and the weapons in their hands lost speed. The originallypletely suppressed demons rose up immediately, and the battles around the fortress became extremely desperate. Chapter 542 - Descend! Multicolored Light (II)

Chapter 542: Descend! Multicolored Light (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Originally focused onmanding, Sheng Lingxins expression changed totally upon noticing that immense figure, losing his voice, The Emo Demon god Sytry! Shes using a forbidden spell. Lan Yanyu was standing alongside her husband, What kind of forbidden spell is that? Have you seen it before? Sheng Lingxins response was grave, Sytry is known as the Emo Demon God because she is the master of lust in all demonkind. Her forbidden spell may not be a direct attack, but its a lot more terrifying than the direct attacks. It can arouse our most primitive desires: even at my level of cultivation, I am starting to be unable to think clearly, to say nothing about the soldiers. Lan Yanyu became anxious, Then whats to be done? Is there a way to interrupt her? Sheng Lingxin let out a bitter smile, Havent you seen the other five demon gods surrounding her? Their six pirs have also gathered their power. How could it be possible to interrupt that!? We can only leave it to grandfather and the others. Lan Yanyu wrinkled her brows, What if you dont look at her? Sheng Lingxin shook her head, Its useless. This is still just the edge of the forbidden spell. And at Sytrys level of cultivation, if averting your eyes from her was enough to nihte her forbidden spells power, how could she be ranked twelfth among the demon gods? Lan Yanyu then asked in puzzlement, But how is it that I dont feel anything from it? Females should be immune against her forbidden spells. But our soldiers are males! Reaching this point, his look unconsciously shifted to Caier in midair, then to Long Haochen who was still motionlessly releasing golden circles of light. Sheng Lingxin faintly came to feel that this battle would rte to the life or death of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If something went wrong, the Exorcist Mountain Pass may very well go extinct from this world. And at that time, theres no way the Assassin Temple could preserve itself. He was now considering whether to cover the retreat of Long Haochen and his daughter to preserve at least a bit of the Assassin Temples lineage! As her father, he finally started to show personal feelings. Long Haochen also saw the forbidden spell unleashed by the Emo Demon God Sytry. It immediately startled him. The effects on him were different from Sheng Lingxin as he was inside the Star Domain, and had the assistance from the overflowing light essence as well as his powerful mental force, which made his perception reach frightening heights. He found out that Sytrys forbidden spell was like a projection. This forbidden spells use was only to produce special spatial waves to project her figure beside the Exorcist Mountain Pass fortress. In other words, the demons below wont be able to see, unless they reach the fortress. Otherwise, they wont be affected by her forbidden spell. Long Haochen was now no more than a spectator, watching clearly over this baffling situation. He discovered that after Sytry started to use this forbidden spell, the demon troops attack actually became slower. Only the Dual ded Demons were still rushing forward with their all, while the other demons of middle and high ss clearly slowed down. Its just that because the Dual ded Demons were unceasingly swarming through the forts walls, this change was not very noticeable. Long Haochen immediately came to the conclusion that the Emo Demon Gods forbidden spell was also effective against demons. Right at this time, a raging inferno suddenly rose from afar, from the demon camp. Wide expanses of mes were ascending, and ignited at least a third of the demon camp, rising and spreading rapidly. In fact, the chief of the Assassin Temple, Heroic Assassin Sheng Yue, hadmanded the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple to stealthily leave the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Affected by Long Haochens opinion and the great results achieved during the eves raid, Sheng Yue thoroughly realized what they should do as assassins. By remaining in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, these powerhouses couldnt have much usefulness, and could only stand opposite to the enemy. But they were assassins, not mages; and for this reason, even an Heroic Assassin of the ninth step couldntunch forbidden spells ofrge scale. So, they could only serve as ambushers outside the Exorcist Mountain, acting as an extremely sharp de pointed at the enemy. This would be a far more efficient defense than if they stayed inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass. They were the ones who started this huge fire, which also thoroughly emptied the demons food reserves. But Sheng Yues expression was extremely grave. He had perceived that Sytry had begun to use a forbidden spell, but from the rear of the demon army, he only saw an Illusory pink figure, and was unable to discern the ability Sytry was using. As Long Haochen had observed, Sytrys forbidden spell was indeed no more than a projection of herself on the Exorcist Mountain Pass. This was so that it doesnt affect the demon army: one wont be affected unless hes on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Heroic assassins, follow me. We will be raiding the high levelled demons from their rear. Sheng Yue almost had no hesitation giving this order. They couldnt let Sytry get away with that, otherwise the Exorcist Mountain Pass would be in peril. Eleven twisted lights faded away in midair. Then he could faintly see that behind the six demon god pirs, the sky had abruptly started to look distorted, imbued with an iparably sharp killing intent which immediately locked the six demon gods in ce. As if Sytry hadnt noticed these Heroic Assassins, she just kept chanting her incantation. That materialized figure kept bing clearer, as if a giant version of her was taking shape in this world. The influence it had on the Exorcist Mountain Pass kept growingrger, as the eyes of the soldiers were turning red. Thanks to Caiers ughters Realm, they could hold off the forbidden spell to some extent, but right now, Caiers forehead was already covered in sweat. No matter how powerful a gods chosen one is, how mighty her Scythe of the God of Death, ultimately, she hit the limits of the seventh step! If Caiers cultivation had attained the ninth step, her ughters Realm could maybe have even suppressed Sytrys forbidden spell. But this was out of her current capabilities. Keeping the realm activated was only a desperate measure: if it dissipated, the soldiers below would be even more greatly affected. Caier gritted her teeth, painfully holding on. Right, because she understood the situation, she didnt dare ck. _I have to press on, to keep itsting as far as possible._ Her eyes fixed onto Long Haochen, on the other side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass fortress. She didnt know what he was doing, but had an unwavering faith in him. _He will surely turn the situation around, for sure._ Strident sounds burst from the rear of the six demon god pirs. In midair, an immense spatial crack extending over more than three hundred meters had appeared, extending towards the Emo-demon god Sytry. That was the act of the eleven Heroic Assassins, a joint attack with a single goal: to stop Sytrys incantation. She let out an expression of disdain, as the five other demon god pirs turned towards the same direction, to block the attack for her. Bang An extremely terrible exploding sound was heard, and that immense crack was dispersed. Eleven figures bounced back at the same time, shot several hundreds meters away before stabilizing. The five demon god pirs were shining with different lights, as they forcibly stopped the eleven assassins attacks. Why would the Temple Alliance value Long Haochens ability to destroy demon god pirs so dearly? Thats because for the past six thousand years, humankind hadnt found any method to destroy a demon god pir. Due to them, they had suffered who knows how many terrible losses. The more demon gods using their pirs there are, the more formidable power they would be able to disy, and the more terrifying they would appear. A perfect proof of that was the current situation: the joint defense of five demon gods was enough make eleven Heroic Assassins helpless. Chief, whats to be done? An assassin was wiping the blood leaking from his mouth, as he asked Sheng Yue. Sheng Yues eyes were a bit bloodshot. He knew that in these circumstances, Sytrys forbidden spell was already unstoppable. It was totally impossible, and this was the situation he was the most unwilling to see appear. If they were peak powerhouses belonging to the Mage Temple, maybe they could try to use the firepower from their own forbidden spells to face Sytrys forbidden spell. But in the Temple Alliance, two Temples werent able to use forbidden spells much: the Assassin and Warrior Temple. In singr battles, they were more powerful, as their Spiritual Hignd mastery and toughness far surpassed the Mage Temple, Spiritual Temple, and Priest Temple. But they had no way to break through the demon god pirs blockade. Sheng Yues breathing was noticeably rapid: as the chief of the Assassin Temple, he had already predicted the worst oues. Giving a nce to the six demon god pirs, and gritting his teeth, he gave an order that felt extremely painful to issue. Kill! While they are focusing on their forbidden spells, we will ughter their high levelled demons. I want to see whether they can kill our men before we kill theirs. This was already the best choice they had. If theyd only had another choice, Sheng Yue wouldnt give such an order. As things went this way, the other ten assassins eyes also turned red. This order felt extremely difficult for him to issue! His grandson Sheng Lingxin wasmanding the battle inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while his great-granddaughter was giving her all to withstand the forbidden spell. In case the Emo Demon Gods forbidden spellpletes, they will inevitably be the ones bearing the brunt. Kill! The eleven Heroic Assassins shouted madly altogether. Under the shocked watch of the demon gods beyond the Emo Demon God, they turned the same as wild dragons, sweeping their way downwards through the demon armies. Chapter 543 - Descent! Multicolored Light (III)

Chapter 543: Descent! Multicolored Light (III)

The attacksunched by the eleven powerhouses of the ninth step against the demon armies were no joke. Assassins were not experts in attacks ofrge scale, but their offensive power in small scales was far beyond contest even whenpared to mages. In front of the eleven of them, the demons were in a pitiful state. Even demon powerhouses of the seventh or eighth step were unable tost, and for a moment, the high ranked demons in the rear were in a state of chaos. This time, it wasnt a surprise attack, but a total ughter going ever faster. The great demon gods expressions immediately became unsightly. The reason why the powerhouses of the ninth step from both sides generally dont lightly join a battle was to avoid a total ughter of both sides. The destructive power of powerhouses of the ninth step is far too extreme. In cases when they join in battle opposing themselves against enemies of lower rank, it will inevitably end up in a bloody ughter. And in the end, both sides will end up totally crushed. Just like the Exorcist Mountain Pass couldnt bear the powerful forbidden spell of the Emo Demon God, the demons couldnt bear the frantic attacks of so many powerhouses of the ninth step. Right after Sheng Yues figurended on the ground, a pair of daggers shining with the orange gloss that characterizes the epic tier appeared in his hand. The orange radiance spread out with him as the center, instantlycerating the bodies of several dozen demons of high ss. Immediately, he appeared a hundred meters away, whirling like a spinning top. No one saw clearly by which means he was breaking inside their ranks, but every series of whirls took the life of over a hundred demon powerhouses. The ordinary demons of the fourth or fifth step stood absolutely no chance in front of this radiance characterizing the epic tier. The same scene broke out for each of the eleven powerhouses. Their destructive power had already grown far beyondst nights raid. The Emo Demon God Sytrys expression became very unsightly. Her chant was still continuing, and now that she had already reached a point of no return, if she stopped for a moment, all her previous efforts will be wasted. And on top of that, she couldnt let the other five demon gods respond to that attack. Otherwise, if a human assassin nks her and interrupts her forbidden spell, it will put her in a beaten and hopeless position. The Emo Demon God had to finish her forbidden spells cast first, to first ruthlessly inflict a fatal strike to the Exorcist Mountain Pass before dealing with these assassins of the ninth step to the rear. But at this time, it would be hard to say how many high grade demons will be left. At this time, the six demon gods were still not brain-dead. The Winged-Ox Sagan may be the lowest of these six demon gods, but after standing opposite to the Exorcist Mountain Pass for such a long time, his understanding of the Assassin Temples strength was not half-assed. Seeing this messy, nearly uncontroble, situation, he immediately let out a wild shout to the demons, giving an order. This order gave a sudden realization to the other demon gods who hastened to join him in giving orders. Sagans order was very simple, Global retreat! Every side must retreat! The assassins greatest detriment was their inability to makerge scale attacks. The demon army was so numerous that even if they wanted to kill them, it would have no end. After all, these powerhouses from the Assassin Temple were limited in number. They couldnt possibly attend all the demonsing from all sides, and with the fatal strike Sytrys forbidden spell was about to inflict, the presence of the demon armys attacks wont affect its results by much. So even if the order of retreat for the demon army would greatly lower their morale, it was the best method to lessen their damage. But these demon gods ns were merely an ideal. Was an army of several hundred thousand demons something that could retreat just by being told so? The ones outside heard the order and retreated, but it wasnt so easy for the ones in the core of their formation to retreat. For a moment, the demon army became even more disordered, and the Dual ded Demons offense started to weaken because of these few demon gods order. For a moment, the Exorcist Mountain Pass was in aplete state of chaos, and both the demons aerial forces and ground troops became beyond the control of the demon gods. On top of that, the eleven Hidden Assassins had already prated deeply in their ranks, therefore the chaos only made it easier for them to ughter their way. On the other side, the Exorcist Mountain Pass situation wasnt the slightest bit better than the demons. The Dual ded Demons offense had declined, but the pressure on the officers and soldiers hadnt lessened in the slightest. In front of their eyes, that distant, gigantic female image had be totally real, and Sytrys forbidden spell was close topletion. Her extremely erged face exuded a charming smile, and soft pink light was filling the Exorcist Mountain Pass in a liberating warmth. All the soldiers had be flushed with excitement, and some already couldnt stop from tearing apart their own clothes and armors. The Emo Demon Gods charm was far too great. All of a sudden, massive pink brilliant rays soared as if finally giving life to that gigantic figure, setting it in motion. The forbidden spell wasplete! The gigantic Sytry slowly stepped forward, softly moving her voluptuous forms. Immediately, groans were heard on the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and the soldiers weapons fell one after another from their hands. Even the influence of Caiers Realm of ughter had reached its lowest point. Caier spat out a mouthful of blood, already on the verge of copse. Her spiritual energy was already past its limits, and at that point ughters Realm could crumble at anytime. At that very moment, even Sheng Lingxin couldnt help himself. Even he, themander in chief of the army, was severely shaking, bearing an unbearable pain. This first step she took was only the start of Sytrys forbidden spell. Immediately, that gigantic woman unexpectedly started a light and graceful dance in midair. Each step was simple; every movement she executed and every exciting nce she gave didnt fail to deeply affect the soldiers of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Some of them were already in a frantic state. Some of the soldiers of lowest cultivation had thrown themselves to the west, falling from the top of the fortress. But even in such falls, the frantic looks on their eyes werent appeased in the slightest. They were already beyond liberation from Sytrys forbidden spell. The Emo Demon Gods Celestial Dance of Lust. A powerful hallucinatory forbidden spell. This forbidden spell didnt have any direct destructive power, but its effects were even more terrifying. It covered an extremelyrge scale, and even affected the powerhouses with cultivationparable to Sytry herself. In the case that this forbidden spell was allowed to be cast, unless ones willpower and mental force reached a sufficient level, that person would undoubtedly be lured. After finalpletion of the spell, even females will sink into a state of lust, and face the final inescapable oue, finally dying, burning with desire. The Exorcist Mountain Pass was already in chaos, and just like them, the demon army was in a state of chaos. At this point, no victor seemed likely toe out from this battle. The final verdict would only be a state of mutual destruction. Right at this time, a lofty golden brilliance suddenly lit up the sky. The instant it red up, Caier finally reached her limits and her ughters Realm concluded, as her body fell downwards. A soft golden light caught her, stopping her from falling on the fortress. That was Han Yu. Han Yu was now in an extremely bad state. Both his eyes colored in red, after catching her, unable to even ask about her well-being, he immediately threw her on the Exorcist Mountain Pass second floorsmanders terrace. The fortress was far too dangerous. Many thousands of men were burning in desire there. If they caught sight of a such weakened Caier, who knew what could happen to her! Han Yus cultivation was also at the seventh step, but his willpower was far above the powerhouses of the same rank. His gifted talents, including his innate internal spiritual energy of eighty, manifested without a doubt at this time. He also saw that lofty golden brilliance re up, and had a single wish at this time. He could only believe in the owner of that light, that he would once again turn the situation around. Right, that golden light was unleashed by Long Haochen. The instant Sytrypleted her forbidden spell, the sun on the distant horizon had finally showed its face. Dawn came to a conclusion, and at the approach of the early morning, Long Haochen finally felt a reaction from the Divine Snail Shield. Immediately, it erupted with an iparable brightness. The spiritual higndized energy that Long Haochen had continuously poured, and hadnt provoked any reaction from the Divine Snail Shield until now, was only stockpiled inside the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon until now. And the instant sun and moon finished crossing, Long Haochen regained control of the Divine Snail Shield, and all the stored spiritual higndized energy finally broke out all around. An intense multi-colored light rose to the sky, and this time, Long Haochen immediately felt that he had entered a fantastic state of connection with the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. Without need for active reflection, he came to sense the uses and effects of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. As he pressed on the shield, that multicolored light was shot towards the gigantic Sytry. Her expression finally changed, she had been paying attention to Long Haochens movement all this time, and upon seeing the burst of multi-colored light from his divine tool, she immediately made a response. A pink radiance was shot from her demon god pir, violently striking the light originating from the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. The gigantic figure executing the Celestial Dance of Lust abruptly became illusory, and the frantic soldiers and officers came to a brief standstill. But the next instant, the figure recondensed, and its dance became all the more ardent. Impossible to stop. Long Haochen was submerged in his thoughts. He knew that his current cultivation couldntpare with Sytrys. Just like he had the divine tool called Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Sytry had her demon god pir. Although demon god pirs were only simr to divine tools, mostly aimed at amplifying the powers of a demon god and protecting him or her, this wasnt something he could withstand with his current cultivation. Chapter 544 - Reflecting the forbidden spell (I)

Chapter 544: Reflecting the forbidden spell (I)

Trantor: GravityTales _Whats to be done? An image?_ Long Haochen trembled, having finallye up with a solution. At that very moment, the upper bodies of the soldiers on the fortress were almost all bare, and they appeared to be tearing apart their own bodies with their utmost. Many of them were dripping with blood, and some already had bones showing through, but their state of mind only kept worsening. Outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the assassin powerhouses ughter had finally reached its peak. The multi-colored light which had shot out vanished abruptly, and Long Haochen immediately flew to the top of the fortress, looking straight at the distant Celestial Dance of Lust. What was an iparable enticement for the soldiers of the Exorcist Mountain Pass didnt affect Long Haochen in the slightest. Through the mask of Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor, his golden eyes were exposed to Sytrys sight. Devoid of any impurity, they didnt show the slightest desire due to Sytrys Celestial Dance of Lust. Sytry was in total shock. _Could it be that this human knight doesnt have the slightest dark side?_ _But lust and desire are humans most primitive drives. Why isnt he affected at all?_ At this time, Sytry found out to her stupor that these limpid golden eyes were thoroughly engraved in her mind. Sytrys field of expertise was illusion attacks, in other words, psychic magic. As a user of such magic, her nemesis was an enemy who wouldnt be affected by her psychic spells. Long Haochens crystal clear eyes had swayed her heart, and immediately, her Celestial Dance of Lusts effects started to lessen significantly. _No good!_ Sytry cried out secretly, and forced herself to keep her calm. Shutting her eyes, she stopped looking at Long Haochen, but her heart was still disturbed. Deep inside, the image of these golden eyes kept twinkling, and she couldnt escape it even when shutting her eyes. Her heart having been marked, unless Sytry killed or subdued Long Haochen, her cultivation would surely be greatly affected by that blow. Naturally, Long Haochen didnt know about that change in Sytry. His left hand thumped on his chest, and multi-colored light started spreading out all around him, the signature of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Only, it was currently spreading out inexhaustibly all around the fortress. The spreading of this light immediately blocked the view of the Celestial Dance of Lust, as well as that pink light and aura. Everywhere the multi-colored light passed, the frantic movements of the soldiers slowed down. Only, because the intense lust was still present, they had yet to recover their whole awareness for a moment. Due to being a female, Lan Yanyu was rather minimally affected. After Long Haochens Divine Snail Shields act of sheltering, she immediately came back to her senses and lifted her staff high, chanting a fast series of incantations. A cold rain then started to fall on the fortress. From the stimtion of the cold rain, the soldiers of the Exorcist Mountain Pass recovery from this state of lust elerated. At this time, the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moons defensive power was reduced to its weakest. For the sake of sheltering the Celestial Dance of Lust from view, Haochen had to expand the divine power of the Divine Snail Shield to just asrge a scale, subjecting himself to a massive pressure as well. He didnt know whether he couldst until the termination of the enemys forbidden spell. This time, the liberation of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon waspletely different from thest time. Last time on the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the Divine Snail Shield was affected by the two Fiend Commanders special technique and autonomously transferred Long Haochens spiritual energy to itself to temporarily unleash its might as a divine tool. But this time, with the help of Star King, Long Haochen was the one who activated the power of the Divine Snail Shield, and his spiritual energy waspressed to a great extent until the time that the sun and moon crossed. While before it had amplified Long Haochens strength, now the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was releasing all thepressed spiritual higndized energy. Therefore, its power was even stronger than back in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, and was under Haochens control. From afar, the fortress looked as if it waspletely enveloped in ayer of multi-colored light. Soft golden radiance was undting in the air, forcibly blocking the Celestial Dance of Lust. More astonishingly, this multi-colored light unexpectedly reflected it like a mirror, refracting the image of Sytrys Celestial Dance of Lust towards the already disarrayed demon troops from the sky. This seemed unimportant, but the alreadypleted Celestial Dance of Lust had even greater effects on demons than on humans. After all, the lower ranked demons intelligence was quite limited, and their instincts were a lot stronger. For a moment, the demon army was drizzling with ayer of purple. The powerhouses of the Assassin Temple were also startled, all looking together in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass fortress. The lustrous multi-colored golden light that came to their sight filled them with deep shock, and they saw in the meantime Sytrys Celestial Dance of Lust. Even with these assassin powerhouses cultivation, the sight of the Celestial Dance of Lust had immediate effects on them. However, as highly profound cultivators and very aged characters, the speed of their lusts igniting wasnt too fast. Sheng Yue whistled, and the few assassin powerhouses immediately turned away, before fleeing through an empty space. Since the Exorcist Mountain Pass crisis was relieved, they didnt need to keep staking their lives here any longer. Most of all, the priority was to shelter themselves from that forbidden spells influence. No matter their type, all the demons that suffered the effects from the Celestial Dance of Lust immediately became frantic. Amongst them, the most affected were the Dual ded Demons serving as cannon fodder. Everywhere Sytrys Celestial Dance of Lust came into view,rge expanses of Dual ded Demons immediately died with their limbs cut off. Their juices were scattering all around, and an extremely intense stench spread to the battlefield. This was the might of that forbidden spell. The effects sustained by the Exorcist Mountain Pass were now sent back with several-fold amplification to the demon armies. For better or worse, humans were, after all, intelligent beings, and their self-control was a lot greater than demons. Although the damage they sustained in the short term was not small, they hadntpletely gone out of control yet. But the Celestial Dance of Lust was just beyond terrifying to demons. This was also the reason why the demon gods never dared look straight at the Emo Demon God. Even the demon gods ranked higher than her were unwilling to have dealings with the Emo Demon God. Without sufficient willpower, one would hardly free himself from her emotional magic. Sytry became nk upon seeing her forbidden spell reflected like that. Thats because in front of her appeared an immense figure with the same looks as her. Not only her, but even the other five demon gods guarding her became nk. In this short span of time, the demon army below had already suffered astonishing damage. No good! Sytry let out a low shout. Her hands rapidly formed a seal, to dispel her own forbidden spell as fast as possible. She didnt know how Long Haochen managed to reflect that, but the situation in front of her eyes was a matter of fact. If things went on, at least half of the demon troops would be buried because of her own forbidden spell. Long Haochen was holding the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon strenuously. In the meantime, the Emo Demon God very rapidly dispelled her forbidden spell. Still, it deserved being called such. In case of full activation, stopping it wasnt so easy, and required time. The soldiers in the fortress were under the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moons protection, and gradually came back to their senses under the stimtion of the cold rain. After these intense surges of lust, they became extremely weak. Many warriors were injured due to the wounds they had inflicted upon themselves in their frantic state, and some died due to blood loss. But most of the soldiers were able to keep some control. Even so, the soldiers that were still standing on their feet were extremely scarce. Only the most powerful ones were still able to persevere. One couldnt help but notice that the Brilliant Angel Knight Regiment was in a very good state. It wasnt that they had a greater resistance against Sytrys magic, but the key was that they were d in extremely thick armors. Taking off these armors was not an easy matter at all, and thats all the more the case in states of frenzy. Therefore, their injuries were the least, and very few of them died. But they had for the most part lost their fighting strength. And if the Celestial Dance of Lust had continued for longer, they also would have hardly avoided the fate of death while burning with desire. Right now, in front of these Brilliant Angel Knights, as Long Haochen rode Star King and spread out that multi-colored golden light with his left arm lifted, he appeared just like their savior. Thats the Saint Knight Head, their Saint Knight Head! Right now, the Saint Knight Head was using his powerful strength to ward off the enemys forbidden spell. For a moment, every Brilliant Angel Knight was filled with great reverence. Even if they had to crawl, each of them forced himself to make a knight salute towards Long Haochens direction. Caier was standing up with difficulty, with the support of her mother. At the sight of the dazzling multi-colored golden light, she couldnt help but let her tears flow. He didnt fail to live up to her expectations, once again saving them from the desperate crisis, and helped the Assassin Temple to survive the most fatal attack they had ever suffered. Maybe the effects of reflection were coincidental, but no one could refute that the Scion of Light had been brought by Providence. Who else could produce such a coincidence? Pop. The golden light shattered, and its multi-colored radiance scattered in the sky. From the time Long Haochen enveloped the fortress of the Exorcist Mountain Pass with his light, to now, when he and Star King could be seen falling down, only ten or so minutes had passed. But during these mere ten minutes or so, he had saved the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass. Afar, the Celestial Dance of Lust was slowly dissipating. Because of its forceful termination, the Emo Demon God Sytry was still suffering severe bacsh. At this very moment, the corners of her mouth were flushing with pink blood, and her gaze was thrown at Long Haochen on the Exorcist Mountain Pass fortress.

Chapter 545: Reflecting the forbidden spell (II)

Long Haochen was also looking in her direction. Sytry was once again shaken to see that even if his body was now in a very weak state, and his spiritual energy greatly overdrafted, at the time hended onto the fortress, Long Haochens both eyes were still limpid, and devoid of any impurity. Sytry let out another stuffy groan, spurting out some blood, We are withdrawing. Give the order of retreat. Actually, the demons had been escaping in panic since long before. The charges of the assassin powerhouses sank the demon army into a total state of panic, and the influence of Sytrys Celestial Dance of Lust didnt make things any better. The units were trampling into each other, and thereby one could see that the demon armies were utterly defeated. The demon army was actually not so powerful. The demons ability to maintainmand of their army was not the best. Individually, the Demons were strong, their fighting instincts unmatched by humans. But because of that, moving such an army. wasnt an easy thing to do. After suffering several critical attacks and effects, even the demon gods orders were unable to totally mobilize them. What are you still waiting for? Fire, with full power! Returning to his senses, Sheng Lingxin shouted so loud that it made his voice hoarse. Right now, his body was still shaking because of the emotional excitation. At the time he had sobered up, Long Haochens multi-colored light had vanished. Looking at thetter as he fell on the fortress, his mood was as one may well imagine. His son-inw had once again just saved the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The demons state of disorder could be seen right in front of his eyes. If they didnt finish off the beaten enemy now, when would they be able to? But unfortunately, due to the effects of the Emo Demon God Sytrys Heavenly Dance of Lust, a lot of people had yet toe back to their senses. And even if they did, they would be in a very poor state, and as a result, only a few magic cannons could really be fired this time. But the fact that the Exorcist Mountain Pass couldntunch an effective counterattack didnt mean that the Assassin Temple couldnt. Sheng Yue, who had escaped just before, now brought a group of powerhouses from the Assassin Temple tounch the counterattack. They werent a lot, but every one of them was an absolute elite. Furthermore, the reversal of the situation enabled Sheng Yue to recover his calm. He didnt lead the assassin powerhouses to once again attack the demon army deep inside, but focused on beheading the frenzied demons on the edges of their formation. The six demon gods were putting all their energy into reassembling their panic-stricken troops, and couldnt attend to them. Like that, the demon troops which had suffered the effects from the Heavenly Dance of Lust were cut like wheat in front of Sheng Yues group. Although the battle was still unfinished, these assassin powerhouses were all foreseeing an unprecedentedly total victory to take ce this day. Han Yu returned alongside Long Haochen, and shouted to Sheng Lingxin, Senior chief, please bring Caier here. We have a way to elerate the recovery of her spiritual energy! Now that the general situation was settled, all that was left for the Exorcist Mountain Pass to do was to help the dying and the injured. Sheng Lingxin hastened to join Lan Yanyus side and brought the half-unconscious Caier beside Long Haochen. Despite being in a very weak state, his mental state was still okay. Seeing the wisps of blood flowing on the corners of her lips, he couldnt help but hold her in his arms with a tender gaze in his eyes. A soft, white light came out from Han Yu, instantly growing to a diameter of ten meters. After over a year, his Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light had undergone a new evolution, increasing its area and effects of recovery. While greatly elerating the recovery of spiritual energy, it also held extremely great healing effects. And since Han Yus consumption from the previous battle was not severe, he immediately used a healing spell on Caier to deal with the overdraft of her body. The Light Blessing ability naturally didnt only affect Long Haochen and Caier. Star King and Sheng Lingxin, as well as Han Yu and the nearby soldiers and officers were all also enveloped. Sheng Lingxin felt the changes in his internal spiritual energy, secretly full of shock. Is that? The power of a spiritual stove? But what kind of spiritual stove is that??In his memories, there existed no such light elemental spiritual stoves! Such a massive ability of recovery was enough to match a first tier spiritual stove!?It?looks like?I am really outdated. Nowadays youngsters are already reaching such levels of strength. Under the effects of the Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light, Long Haochens weakened state wasing back to normal. Star Kings state was also greatly ameliorated. Caier gradually came back to her senses, but finding out that she was upon Long Haochens bosom, she once again shut her eyes. After having lost her memories, she also lost that strong personality she used to have, and she had more moments simply being nothing more than a delicate girl. In her present frail condition, she needed a warm embrace to rely on even more. This battle didntst for much longer, but the resistance of the Exorcist Mountain Pass had a decisive effect on the Holy War. Not only were the greatest part of the demons injured or killed, but more importantly, their morale had been struck like never before. To the Exorcist Mountain Pass, this was a thorough andplete victory. For rather low losses, they had inflicted a crushing defeat on the demons. Adding further the consecutive deaths of two demon gods, the Exorcist Mountain Pass perpetually inferior position had finally gained a qualitative change, sending the message that they wont necessarily fear such all-out attacks. After a bit more than a hour, the demon army was finally done retreating, and in front of the Exorcist Mountain Pass only demon corpses were left. The soldiers that had the strength for it weremanded by Sheng Lingxin to retrieve the corpses and sweep the battlefield clean. The demon corpses were gathered, and immediately set to mes after their magical crystals were retrieved. This avoided the spread of a gue from these corpses while cutting off one of the demons sources of food. After the work of gathering went until the evening, they were finally done with that battle. Far off, the demon armies which had assembled didnt even have many tents and provisions left. Their supplies were so scarce that it actually became a miserable sight to behold. This was a decisive victory, which brought an unprecedented rise to the soldiers morale. The weak and injured were rapidly recovering, andrge amounts of magical crystals were offered as supplies for the magic cannons to regain their destructive power. In the following half years time, the Exorcist Mountain Pass kept a strong bearing against the demon threat. Sheng Yue personallymanded the elites from the Assassin Temple a few more consecutive times for night raids against the demons, retreating every time after just a few attacks. Although the damage thus inflicted to the demons wasnt much, the destruction of their tents and units unsettled them. In shortage of resources on the rear, and with the soldiers totally devoid of morale, Sytry had no choice but tomand their entire army to pull back twenty-five more kilometers, to pull apart from the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Also, at this time came batches of all new supplies as well as 30,000 more soldiers to the Exorcist Mountain Pass as reinforcements, giving new breath to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, to borrow Sheng Yues words. In the current situation, the Exorcist Mountain Pass would have no issue with defense for several more years. Furthermore, they could nowunch a counterattack against the demons at anytime. Of course, this was under the premise that no demon reinforcements hade. Would they have reinforcementsing up? It was certainly possible, but also unlikely. The start of the Holy War also ced a massive burden on the demon side. They had put almost all their forces to use for the sake of pressuring the six great human forts at the same time. A year and a halfs battles depleted both the demon and the human sides forces to a very great extent. The demons obviously had some backup forces in reserve, and their most powerful Devil Dragon n, Moon n and Star n had yet to join the battle, but these were their hidden trumps. If these trump cards are revealed like that, it will mean that things havee down to an unreconcble state, where one of the parties must die for the other to stop fighting. Would the Demon God Emperor really allow that? Furthermore, although the demon armies suffered an unprecedented blow and no longer had the strength to break through the fort, they had enough forces for defense. However, the present forces on the Exorcist Mountain Pass, in case of a direct fight on a in field, were not enough to have an easy battle In a road inside the mountain range, Long Haochen and Caier was seated on Star Kings back, with Han Yu on the side. The three of them were looking into the distance toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Caiers eyes were hazy with tears for a long time. Nestling against Long Haochens embrace, her body was lightly trembling. She couldnt forget the expressions her great-grandfather and parents had as the time for her departure approached. Because they couldnt keep down their feelings, they didnt even see her off. The Exorcist Mountain Pass situation having already stabilized, the time for their departure hade. Long Haochen held her tight, lowered his head, and held her head softly, We will be back. Yeah. Giving a light nod, Caier nibbled her lips, Lets go. She feared that if she didnt go now, she would perhaps really have the urge to rush to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The final oue of the war of the Exorcist Mountain Pass was unpredictable. Even though Long Haochen had not been killing any enemies in thatst battle, Caier and him had undoubtably been useful. Caier was immediately announced to be the next sessor for the Assassin Temple and Long Haochen gained supreme honor, honored as Hall Master for the Assassin Temple. This honor did not receive any objection because Long Haochen just did far too much for the Assassin Temple. By relying on the Divine Snail Shields reflection, he saved them from the desperate crisis, turning the tidespletely, and inflicting massive damage to the demons, while avoiding the destruction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. One could say that he had saved the Exorcist Mountain Pass, as well as the Assassin Temple. Being honored as Hall Master was simply just desserts for such a contribution, and obtained an unanimous approbation. In addition to that, his rtionship with Caier made Long Haochens newly made reputation in the Exorcist Mountain Pass rise even above Sheng Yues. The name of the Twelfth Golden Knight was memorized by all the officers and soldiers, and this Saint Knight Head became an eternalrade and close family of the Assassin Temple. Chapter 546 - Reflecting the Forbidden Spell (III)

Chapter 546: Reflecting the Forbidden Spell (III)

However, their trip still had to continue. Their next stop was the Tombal Mountain Pass, where they would meet with Lin Xin. At the time of his departure from the Knight Temple, Long Haochen didnt think that he could really gather a million contribution points per Temple, but as a matter of fact, he did far more for the Exorcist Mountain than what would be worth a million contribution points. This would be sure to gain him fame. He became even more eager to meet with the others, and reform the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. The few battles he had after his return had already built ample fame for Long Haochen. He was already a powerhouse of the top tier, who had the ability to put up a fight even against a demon powerhouse of the ninth step. Long Haochen was itching to make a proper contribution to thank the Alliance for their tolerance towards him. Only the demon territory, the enemys rear could serve as his perfect stage. In there, he could unleash all his strength without having the slightest thing to worry about. Star King turned around and propelled himself forward, immediately lifting himself up in the air with Long Haochen and Caier on his back, soaring towards the south. Han Yu followed closely behind using his own spiritual wings. Of the seven membersposing the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, three were already gathered, and the others would soon be retrieved. Star King flew hurriedly, yet on his back, no turbulent stream of air was felt. It was as if they were seated on the ground. Han Yu was already at the seventh step of cultivation, therefore the support of his spiritual wings was sufficient to maintain flight for a time. Long Haochen had originally nned to invite him to ride Star King alongside them, after all Star King had a veryrge build, giving abundant space. But Han Yu still gave his refusal, as he didnt want to act as an unwanted third wheel, thus disturbing the other two. However, Han Yu was not empty of envy at the sight of them. In the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen had Caier, Lin Xin had Li Xin, Wang Yuanyuan had Zhang Fangfang, Chen Yinger had her fianc, and even Sima Xian had his own target, that little white flower. Only Han Yu remained as a solitary man, and when ites to such things, he couldnt possibly have no interest at all. He also had an image in his mind, but it wasnt very clear and therefore, he had yet to take any initiative. Han Yus point of view was different from the others. As a Demon Hunter and Long Haochens retainer knight, he had a single goal, which was to apany him closely, and increase his strength. He had the hope to fight alongside him one day, fighting shoulder to shoulder, both d in Divine Thrones transformed into armor. Although he felt that the gap between Haochen and him only kept growing, these thoughts had yet to disappear. A chance could only appear if he made the necessary effort. Without effort, there wont be even a chance. He wasnt the Scion of Light, and already did all he could. He had to keep doing his best to keep chasing after him. During the year and a half spent in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while Long Haochen was still in seclusion, Han Yu was amazed to find out that among their peers, almost no one couldpare with him. The gap separating them was indeed considerable, but by looking from another point of view, he found out that, actually, he too was seen as a genius in the eyes of the other knights. Taking the long view, chasing after Long Haochen already made him a genius. And following the Scion of Light in his battles made his progress considerably faster. The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and the Exorcist Mountain Pass are rather distant, but the Exorcist Mountain Pass and the Tombal Mountain Pass are rtively close. Looking at the terrain, the Tombal Mountain Pass is quite elevated. Despite being not as dangerous, it remained a considerably strategic terrain. On the left side of the Tombal Montain was a hugeke, at its back, a considerably tall teau, and on the right side was the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Among the Six Great Temples, the most stably defended was the Tombal Mountain Pass. This was because of the extremely terrifying destructive power wielded by mages. Of the Six Great Temples, the only one able topare with the Knight Temple in terms of overall strength was the Mage Temple. And the fighting strength mages could deploy in the battlefield was even greater than knights. Furthermore, the Mage Temple was on good terms with the Warrior Temple, who gave them considerable support. The pairing of these two made the Tombal Mountain Pass invulnerable to attack. Over more than a year of the Holy War, the Tombal Mountain Pass had received the least help from the Alliance. Relying on their strong attacking power, they didnt let the demons attack their fortress much. The demon army in front of the Tombal Mountain Pass was also very powerful. Their eight demon gods were led by Marbas, the fifth ranked, and although their troop arrangements were notparable to what they had against the Knight Temple, dont forget about the environmental factors in that area. This probem didnt exist here. The overwhelming majority of the Hell Demons were focused on the Tombal Mountain Pass. At the same time, six of the eight great demon gods allocated here were in the top thirty-two. But even so, they were at most standing in confrontation against the Tombal Mountain Pass. Comparatively speaking, the deceased on both sides were the lowest of all mountain passes. Many times, magic was just fired, with no one truly breaching the opponents defenses. After two days flight, Long Haochens group already had the distant Tombal Mountain Pass in sight. When looking down from high above, the first thinging into view was that giganticke beside the mountain pass. Its water looked crystal clear, reflecting the sunlight and producing a dazzling light effect. The Tombal Mountain Pass covered an enormous area, at least three times the area of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The fortress width and sturdiness were impressively distinct even from afar. Furthermore, upon entering this area, Long Haochen could clearly feel that the undtions of magical essence were a lot more intense than ordinarily. He didnt know why, but this was incontestably an optimum environment for mages. Furthermore, no darkness essence was present, therefore it wouldnt be easy for the demons to stay here. Han Yu told Long Haochen, Boss, back when we were at the Knight Temple, I heard that the Tombal Mountain Pass was the side with the greatest defensive power. Only, because the Mage Temple attaches great importance to preserving their strength, they arent willing to send a lot of mages as reinforcements for the other Temples. Actually, they have a lot of unused power in reserve. They get a lot of criticism from the Alliance about this point. Huh? Long Haochen looked at Han Yu with some surprise. The Holy War affects all humanity. Could the Mage Temple really still show such attachment to their own preservation? Long Haochen asked with some doubts. Han Yu replied, Actually, the Mage Temple cannot really be med. Raising a mage requires the greatest consumption of resources among all vocations. Thats especially the case for mages of high level. Each one of them is a very precious resource for the Mage Temple. Therefore, they only support the nearby Warrior Temple. The assistance they send to the other four Temples is rather low. Although Han Yu hadnt said it very clearly, Long Haochen faintly understood the meaning hidden behind his words. The rtionship between the Knight Temple and Mage Temple wasnt really very harmonious. After all, these two have always beenpeting for the lead of the Six Great Temples. Over the past years, the Mage Temple had always been in the position of second, but werent convinced by this ranking at all. In terms ofprehensive strength, the Mage Temple actually surpassed the Knight Temple in a lot of aspects. Its just that, because the Knight Temple had the six divine tools called Divine Thrones, and that the three Divine Knights werent opponents any mage could face, their status fell a bit behind the Mage Temple. Of course, the Knight Temples hidden trumps were far more numerous than the Mage Temple. Since the start of the Holy War, they had been sending far more reinforcements to the other five Temples. As a matter of course, they hadnt sent many reinforcements to the Mage Temple either. From beginning to end, the two of them were in a faint contest of power. After a few more years pass, the contest for the rankings in the Temple Alliance would soon start. This was the most important contest for the Alliance, ced even above the Demon Hunt Squadspetition of selection. But who knew if such a contest could be held under these circumstances. If the Holy War kept going, this would be a difficult matter. As Long Haochen was sunken in thoughts, three figures were flying over towards them like bolts of lightning. Long Haochens group of three was arriving from the rear of the Tombal Mountain Pass, and didnt really conceal their presence. Obviously they were going to be found by the Tombal Mountain Pass forces. Three figures very rapidly came in front of them. They were three mages, and as the spiritual wings behind their backs proved, powerhouses of the Mage Temple, reaching at least the sixth step. The three were d in differently colored gowns, and the mage that led them was astonishingly young, looking only about thirty years old. But the pair of spiritual wings on his back was considerably wide, proving that his cultivation was at least at the seventh step. Mages of the seventh step at such age were rarely seen, and furthermore, this mage was clearly expert at the light element, with a pretty handsome face. Looking at Long Haochen, d in his Golden Foundation Armor, this light elemental mage couldnt help but have a slight start. In particr, upon seeing Caier alongside him, his expression became extraordinarily splendid. Caier was not only an absolute beauty, but had a very particr outward bearing, something an ordinary girl could neverpare with. This was a special disposition gods chosen ones had, which gradually formed as Caier was training for the use of her Spiritual Stove of Samsara. If her memories hadnt been lost, this demeanor would be even more visible, but also a lot colder. Greetings, Golden Foundation Knight. May I ask what the three of you are here for? The light mage rapidly shifted his sight onto Long Haochen. Riding the Starlight Unicorn King and d in a Golden Foundation Armor, he was undoubtedly the leader of these three. Long Haochen heaved a smile, Greetings. We are looking for a friend. In the meantime, if the Tombal Mountain Pass has any needs, we are willing to provide assistance against the demon attacks. Chapter 547 - Mage Temple (I)

Chapter 547: Mage Temple (I)

The expression on the face of the light mage changed imperceptibly, and he asked with a smile, Then, may I ask for the name of the one you are looking for? As for the second matter, our Tombal Mountain Pass has no need for help for the moment. Beside him, Han Yu creased his brows, stepping forward, Can we have a look at the defense before determining that? This young knight may be outstanding, but in the end he was only at the seventh step. Long Haochen was d in Golden Foundation Armor, representing the Knight Temples greatest honor. As such, being blocked or interrogated by an ordinary mage of the seventh step was clearly unsuitable. The light mage had a slightly nk look, but his expression rapidly returned to normality, Apologies, I have been impolite. Come with me, you three. Saying that, he turned round and called out for his other two mates, setting flight down towards the Tombal Mountain Pass. Han Yus face finally eased up, following Star Kings downwards flight. Caier remarked to Haochen in a low voice, I dont really like the look this man had. Long Haochen nodded lightly. Naturally, he had seen this light mage staring at Caier, without trying to conceal that behaviour in the slightest. However, he didnt overly mind that. The Alliance needed all the six Temples, and this being a period of Holy War, he wasnt willing to bother about a bit of impoliteness from the others. Very rapidly, the six of them arrived at a ce about five hundred meters distant from the Tombal Mountain Pass. The three mages standing in front suddenly let out a sh of light, letting out indistinct intense magical waves, before proceeding forward. Han Yu. Wait a bit. Long Haochen suddenly called out for Han Yu, and Star King also came to a stop. Whats the matter Captain? Han Yu asked, notprehending. Behind the mask, Long Haochen also had a doubtful look, There seems to be a defensive formation. As we havent the correct magic imprint, we will be rejected by the formation. Hearing him say so, Han Yu immediately became furious, and shouted to the three mages, What are you trying to do? The three mages immediately appeared startled hearing that, and the light mage leading them looked particrly astonished, before apologizing hurriedly, Sorry, I have forgotten to give the three of you the correct imprint. Im really sorry! Saying that, he rapidly flew by, taking out three badges which contained an imprint made of strong fluctuations of magic, and handed it to Long Haochens group of three. Han Yu narrowed his eyes before asking with deep seriousness, Are you sure that you forgot? That light elemental mage had a cold look, Friend knight, what do you mean? Dont tell me you think that I really did such a thing on purpose? Han Yu sneered, Dont you know better than anyone else if this was on purpose? The light mage indifferently replied, Arent you knights very strong? As the number one Temple of the Alliance, even if you dont have this imprint, a small formation shouldnt stop any of you right? I didnt expect you knights to also fear our Mage Temples formations. Hearing him, Han Yus rage immediately rose up greatly. Right as he was about to re up, Long Haochen stopped him promptly. Lets go. Long Haochen said calmly, before letting Star King pass through the formation. The light mage had a faint look ofcency on his face. As expected, a transparent barrier came to block their way at the ce where the three mages bodies glowed. The imprints on Long Haochen and Caiers hands immediately dissolved, and Star King was unable to pass through. This was clearly no mistake: without a doubt that light mage did it deliberately. How could he be unaware that magical beasts needed a special imprint to pass through such a formation? Long Haochen turned back, coldly looking at that light mage, but beside him, Caier abruptly made a move. A bitingly cold murderous spirit red out from Caiers body. Immediately, a grey radiance struck forward. An ear-piercing sound was heard, and the transparent seal suddenly turned ck, before fracturing in a split second, turning into dots of starlight. Then Star King spread out his wings, bringing Long Haochen and Caier forward, piercing through the defensive formation. Han Yu immediately followed behind, making use of the seals imprint to enter inside the formation. Those three mages stood baffled at their original ce. Did they really, actually, break through the seal? In fact, this seal used by the Mage Temple wasnt extremely powerful, but would encounter no trouble stopping powerhouses of the seventh step. It was something specialized for defending against aerial demons. Its global defensive effects were top-notch, giving it perfect uses as an early warning. That light elemental mage was only wanting to make things difficult for Long Haochens group, after all, from their looks, Long Haochen and Han Yu appeared to be knights. He was waiting for Long Haochen to request permission to enter the formation. But he didnt think that they would really dare make a move against the Mage Temples magic formation. And the one who made the move wasnt that knight, but the beauty beside him. From the instant burst of murderous spirit she unleashed, the light mage couldnt help but feel an intense chill. Just what level did her cultivation reach!? Star King entered, and this time Long Haochen didnt wait for those three mages, making his way inside the Tombal Mountain Pass. As a respectful and patient person, Long Haochen had been enduring silently for long enough, but as the Provisional Saint Knight Head, he couldnt be excessively passive. The light mage gathered his thoughts, hastily chasing after Long Haochens crew. Seeing them already enter the Tombal Mountain Pass, more than ten figures suddenly came soaring from below, meeting them in a haste. Dont move! An aged voice was heard, and the ten or so figures immediately scattered, surrounding Long Haochens group. Star Kings wings were spread wide, standing in midair. The ones blocking their way were all mages, led by an elder. The width of his wings exceeded eight meters, and around his body, viscous magic essence was fluctuating. Golden Foundation Knight? Hello. But, were you the ones who moved against our magic formation? Seeing the Golden Foundation Armor worn by Long Haochen, the old mage immediately lost all traces of enmity, and performed a mage salute in front of him. Long Haochen returned the politeness with a knock from his fist on his armor, Hello, I am the Provisional Saint Knight Head, you may call me Twelfth Golden Knight. In fact, we broke through, but it should only be a misunderstanding. Right after he said that, the light mage arrived, apanied with tworades. Seeing this elder, his expression showed a change, stepping forward to make salutations, Hello, elder Fei. Seeing him, the expression on this elder Fei immediately eased up, Xuan Yuan, whats happening? Howe this Provisional Saint Knight Head broke through our formation? In this speech came out the strong demeanor of the Mage Temple. Long Haochen just introduced himself as Saint Knight Head, yet he inquired of his own people first, and didnt sound very polite. Xuan Yuan looked embarrassed, and hastened, Elder Fei, its my mistake. I had forgotten to give Saint Knight Head enough seal imprints, so his mount couldnt enter. Therefore, they split the formation to enter. Hearing him speak so, the elder Fei burrowed his eyebrows, showing Long Haochen a smile, So it was a misunderstanding. Provisional Saint Knight Head indeed has a good cultivation. Long Haochen showed an indifferent smile, You tter me. Ill be asking you to guide me inside, elder. The elder Fei didnt scold or me Xuan Yuan, instead provoking him secretly, but Long Haochen acted as if he hadnt heard anything: this was the Tombal Mountain Pass, and he came to stand off against the demons, not to look for trouble with the Mage Temple. Just let them cover themselves if thats what they want. Please. After sweeping a nce, elder Fei brought Long Haochen inside the Tombal Mountain Pass, as the other mages promptly scattered. Xuan Yuan looked at Long Haochens group from behind, his eyes twinkling coldly, What did the Knight Temple send this Provisional Saint Knight for? Although Long Haochen hadnt said anything to him, that disregard made Xuan Yuan indignant. Ever since elder Fei had appeared, Long Haochen didnt even sweep a nce at him. As a highly proud talent from the Mage Temple, this felt extremely provoking in his eyes. Elder Fei kept guiding Long Haochens crew inside the Tombal Mountain Pass. Star King havingnded on the ground, Long Haochen alsonded along with Caier. This was tiquette: it wasnt very polite for one to be riding his mount in anothers territory outside of battle times . The elder Fei couldnt help but secretly nod in impressiveness, thinking,?This Provisional Saint Knight actually has quite a good self restraint.?He understood more than necessary Xuan Yuans bad temper, and that he surely had provoked the other side. But as the struggle for power between the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple was in question, he had no other choice but to stand for Xuan Yuan. Though he couldnt help but have a quite favorable impression from seeing Long Haochens behavior. Saint Knight Head, I will bring you to rest in our Temple. And I will inform Temple Head in a bit. Elder Fei having gotten a favorable opinion of Long Haochen, he also became a lot more polite. The status of Saint Knight Head was certainly sufficient. Then I will trouble you. Long Haochen replied, Oh, and, if I may ask, is Lin Xin well? That should be the Auxiliary Temple Head Lin Chens grandson. Although Lin Xins grandfather was a Saint Magic Tutor of the eighth step, as an auxiliary Temple Head, he was mainly taking care of administrative work for the Temple Alliance on behalf of the Mage Temple. The Auxiliary Temple Heads of the Six Great Temples are all powerhouses of the eighth step, and mostly staying in their respective Temples to increase their force. They had all been promoted after having made considerable contributions for their own Temple. Do you know about Lin Xin? Elder Fei gave Long Haochen a surprised look. Long Haochen nodded, Yeah! Lin Xin is my good friend. Hearing that, elder Fei suddenly showed a grotesque face, which immediately gave Long Haochen a fright, Whats wrong? Elder Fei, could it be that something happened to Lin Xin? Long Haochen asked eagerly. Chapter 548 - Mage Temple (II)

Chapter 548: Mage Temple (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # No, of course not. Elder Fei replied in a haste Captain Lin is very well. I will take you to have a rest, then notify him to greet you. Captain? What kind of teams captain is Lin Xin? Han Yu couldnt help but ask curiously from the side. Elder Fei showed a faint smile, Captain Lin is nowmanding the number one mage squad of the Mage Temple, having five hundred fire mages as subordinates, which is our cornerstone in the defense against the demons. Hearing that, Han Yu immediately let out augh, Crown princes are indeed different! He cannot even attack, yet is inmand of the number one mage squad. Elder Fei had a changed look, You knight, please take back your words. Captain Lin relied on his own power to contribute to the Tombal Mountain Pass, umting military deeds to be the First Mage Squads captain, and this isnt rted to Auxiliary Head Lin Chen. Moreover, who said he cannot attack? Captain Lins fighting power is second to none in the same step, and even mages of higher cultivation would hardly show more utility than him in the battlefield. Han Yu stared nkly, breaking intoughter, Do you think I dont understand him as well as you? We are from the same Demon Hunt Squad. Since when has he been able to use offensive magic? Elder Fei was greatly surprised, Are you actually from the same Demon Hunt Squad as Captain Lin? But, Captain Lins offensive magic is really extremely powerful. Han Yu didnt keep disputing, and showed a faint smile, Perhaps. I havent met him for quite long. Maybe he really studied with effort? Well know when we meet. The Mage Temple was an immense pce. From this building, one could see the richness of the Mage Temple. Their Temple was constructed on six floors, and this immense building was the tallest in the whole Mage Temple. The first floor alone was over twenty meters in height, with simple elegance. Atop the first floor was an immense shape of a Star of David. In its center were represented magic balls of all kinds of elements, surrounding the six-pointed star. This should be an extraordinary magic array. After entering the Mage Temple a giant hall could be seen. This tall dome was gorgeously decorated, luxurious yet not excessive. The mages symbols could be seen everywhere, and around the walls were densely packed fairy symbols. After entering, one could feel even denser fluctuations of magic essence than outside. But because the elements were really heterogeneous, it was in great disorder. However, this sticky magic essence gave off a feeling of shock. Even ordinary people could tell upon arrival that the air in there was different from anywhere else. On the innerside were six immense sculptures, the innermost two colored golden and ck, the outside four were blue, red, yellow and green. These six sculptures all had different shapes, and among the lot, the golden and blue ones were female, while the other four were males. These six sculptures were representations of the six elemental deities the Mage Temple held belief in, representing water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness. Mages held different attributes, which were not limited only to the six elements, but also derived elements such as lightning or ice. But in the mages world, it is believed that all the elements use these six great elements as a foundation, therefore these six basic elements are the root of everything, and the elemental gods are the highest deities they can believe in. Long Haochens group of three knew of the Mage Temples standards, and as they stepped forward, each of them bowed in front of them. Right that instant, a fantastic scene emerged. The inner sculpture of the Goddess of light suddenly glowed and spread out a soft golden radiance. Elder Fei was greatly startled. In fact, these six elemental sculptures were not arranged there randomly, but were miracles left in this world by the real six elemental gods. The Mage Temples elders had miraculously managed to gather these gods sculptures together to the Mage Temple. And actually, the powerful defensive formation of the Tombal Mountain Pass actually used these six sculptures as its core. One could say that put all together, these six sculptures were like a multielemental divine tool, and the Mage Temples most precious treasure. At this very time, the sculpture representative for the goddess of light red up with a golden radiance, which implied that some force ofmon origin was stimting it. But elder Fei had kept his eyes on these three all this time, and they visibly hadnt done anything just before. How could this be? As elder Fei was still standing behind them, astonished, the soft light emitted by the sculpture of the Goddess of Light gradually gathered together, turning into a golden pir of light surrounding Long Haochens body. The orange light released by his Golden Foundation Armor then became even more dazzling. They werent the only people present in this hall! Others were present, and upon seeing this miracle from the sculpture of the Goddess of Light, Haochen immediately became the focus of the whole audience. Long Haochen hadnt expected such a thing to happen either. Surrounded by that soft radiance, the warm light essence travelled back and forth in his body, binding him indescribably. In his senses, that sculpture appeared like a mother consoling her child. It wasnt about strengthening him, but soothing and consoling his heart and spirit. The light essence emitted by the Goddess of Light didnt emit the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, but was iparably pure. Long Haochens heart was cleansed once again, just like the time with the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. This was a very rarely seen good opportunity! Spiritual energy could be cultivated through continuous cultivation, but cleansing ones innerside was a lot harder. One needed a long and tranquil time of stable cultivation for that. And to Long Haochen, as the Scion of Light, perception of the light essence increased with the purity of his heart. Be it at times of cultivation or using abilities, the effect would grow even stronger. The radianceing out from the sculpture of the Goddess of Light wasnt emitted for too long, only the time of ten breaths, before vanishing, letting everythinge back to ordinary. But in this short span of time, over ten mages in the Mage Temples hall were halted, watching the scene with expressions of shock. Seeing the golden light vanish, that elder Fei couldnt help but step beside Long Haochen, asking eagerly, Revered Saint Knight Head, what have you just done? This is unbelievable! Long Haochen, who was just awakening from being bathed in the light essence, shook his head, and replied, I havent done anything. Everything seemed to have happened naturally. Was this an extraordinary phenomenon? Elder Fei replied with no hesitation, Of course its extraordinary! Thest time such a miracle happened with the elemental sculpture was when the Temple Head seeded to this role. Senior Temple Head is a light elemental practitioner. When that miracle happened with the sculpture of the Wind God, I saw the same thing happen as with you. At that time, I had fortunately been following Teacher, and able to witness that. If I dont remember wrongly, thatst time onlysted for a few seconds, and by far not as long as with you. Are you certain that you didnt do anything? Long Haochen shook his head once again, and didnt dare keep speaking. The surrounding mages didnt show signs of scattering, all looking at Long Haochen with amazement. Among them, a young female mage stepped up, and impolitely remarked, Are you trying to make a demonstration in front of us on behalf of the Knight Temple? This female mage had good looks, a slender build, d in a cyan gown which was clearly neat and tidy. A green ribbon was binding her ck hair, and at the top it held a green gem. On her right hand was a long staff, entirely shining in brilliant green, just like a piece of green crystal. Atop it was embedded an egg-shaped transparent gem. Oddly, that transparent gems insides were drifting with green wind, just as if a hurricane was stored inside. Long Haochen wrinkled his eyes, replying seriously, The Six Great Temples are a family, belonging to the same Temple Alliance. Watch your tongue, mage. The young mage ignored him and dered to elder Fei, Elder, I have to report this matter to Teacher. Elder Fei nodded, It happens that I was also looking for Senior Temple Head. Tell him that the Provisional Saint Knight Head hase. Provisional Saint Knight Head? Alright. The young female didnt even bother to pay any attention to Long Haochen, and immediately turned back. The other mages dispersed from there as well. Elder Fei dered apologetically to Long Haochen, Apologies, Saint Knight Head. Tan Wan has been impolite. I really apologize to you on her behalf. Han Yu coldly stepped in, Who is she? She has actually been socking in manners towards our Saint Knight Head. We will report this matter to the Alliance. Elder Fei had a bitter smile, I cannot manage this girl, shes senior Temple Heads direct disciple, and the only one. Her pride is as high as mountains, and shes named Tan Wan, aged 26, but still unmarried. Though there is some backing behind her pride. At such a young age, shes already reached the third rank of the seventh step. She, Xuanyuan Yan and Lin Xin are known as the number ones of the young generation, having reached the seventh step below the age of thirty. Han Yu appeared pleasantly surprised, Lin Xin has already broken through the seventh step? Thats really very good! Captain, it means that we can... Reaching to this point, he was stopped in his speech by Long Haochens meaningful nce. Han Yu then came to realize his mistake, and hurriedly shut his mouth. However, this appetion of Captain was taken note of by elder Fei. So Lin Xin and Han Yu were teammates in the same Demon Hunt Squad, with this knight being their captain. But if they were in the same Demon Hunt Squad, it meant that the same limit of age applied for all their members. If Long Haochen was their captain, even if his age was higher, it shouldnt be much higher. Chapter 549 - Mage Temple (III)

Chapter 549: Mage Temple (III)

But he was d in the Golden Foundation knight which could only be obtained by a powerhouse reaching at least the eighth step! And furthermore, no Golden Foundation Knight could be less than excellent among knights of the eighth step. Some Holy Knights of the ninth step didnt even have such qualifications. It should be absolutely impossible for someone of an age simr to Han Yu or Lin Xin to have became a Golden Foundation Knight, or at least, elder Fei thought so. He absolutely didnt believe such a genius to exist. Furthermore, this Golden Foundation knight had the status of Provisional Saint Knight Head, d in Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier, which meant that he should be among the top powerhouses with the status of Golden Foundation Knight. And a sufficiently high contribution was needed to gain such an honor. The Saint Knight of the previous generation, Han Qian, was a Temple Head for the Knight Temple, spokesperson of the Alliances chief Yang Haohan. However, elder Fei didnt ask about this. For one, his status couldntpare with Long Haochens, and also because nosing around others secret was impolite. Long Haochens light element was assurance that he couldnt be something such as an undiscovered traitor. Under the lead of this elder, Long Haochens group was brought to the Mage Temples second floor, and had three separate rooms arranged for them. The three of them could be considered as having gone through the hardship of travel, and made themselves presentable before having some food delivered by the Mage Temple, and finally the three of them gathered in Haochens room. The Mage Temple doesnt seem friendly with us! Long Haochen said with a smile. Han Yu unhappily replied, Its not only unfriendliness. Its practically hostility. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, a serious expression on his face, I didnt expect the rtionship between the Mage Temple and our Knight Temple to have already be so strained. At this rate, it will end up as arge issue in the future. If things are that way with the strong enemies at our doors, I fear that if things remain that way after the end of the war, the Alliance will copse even without needing the demons to attack us. Han Yu nodded, Our contradictions with the Mage Temple have been terrible for a long time already. Almost every time a Temple Ranking contest takes ce, our two Temples are the ones inpetition. We have been pushing down the Mage Temple for so long that it would be rather strange to see them delighted about that. Although its not as if they can oppose us in all aspects, at least our rtionship is definitely not good. Long Haochen said, Lets keep talking after Lin Xines. From what elder Fei said, Lin Xins status in the Mage Temple is not low. I hope that he can serve as a mediator. As they were talking, a respectful voice was heard from outside, Senior Saint Knight Head, Temple Head is asking for you. The three of them looked at each other face to face, then stood up together. Outside the door, a young mage was standing waiting. Upon seeing Long Haochen, he immediately made a gesture of invitation to him. When Caier and Han Yu were about to follow him, the mage stopped them, Sorry, but Temple Head only wants to meet Saint Knight Head. Han Yu, who originally had a lot pent up, was immediately about to re up, but Long Haochen turned his head, making shaking movements, suppressing Han Yus rage. Please go back to your own rooms. I will be back rapidly. Maybe Lin Xin will be there in a bit. Long Haochen followed the mage that came for him up to the top floor of the Mage Temple. The entrance to the floor was a gate over three meters high. Passing through this gate, Long Haochen was immediately shocked. Behind the door was an extremely wide space, at least farrger than the Mage Temples outside shape. And furthermore, the magic essence was even more viscous and pure. The immense hall extended over several hundred meters, surrounded by some sliding doors, with a magic Star of David in the middle of the hall. That young mage brought him in front of the six-pointed star, and spoke, Please step onto the magic array. It will allow you to enter the senior Temple Heads office. Long Haochen asked with great curiosity, What ce is this floor? Every room here is a training field, and some are residences for high ranked mages. Only seniors of the Saint Magic Tutor rank and above are allowed to reside here. Long Haochen noticed unconcealed pride in this young mages eyes. He didnt express himself on the matter, stepping forward, to step onto that six-pointed star. In a sh of light, he immediately appeared by himself in an empty space. The surroundings were full of twisted radiances of water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness element assaulting the senses. By only relying on his sight, one cannot pass through these twisted radiances. Long Haochen released his mental force, faintly sensing that this seemed to be a personal spatial realm, with only a faint connection with their original realm. A very powerful mental force. If Saint Knight Head is willing to be a mage, hed definitely shock the world. An aged voice sounded out, then the surrounding twisted radiances changed, before an old man wearing a smile appeared in front of Long Hoachen, as the surrounding illusory scenery seemed to take real shape. This old man was d in a cyan gown, but his clothing didnt seem to carry the slightest elemental fluctuation. He didnt have a wand on his arm either, and he again looked like as normal as an old man could be. With a not-tall build and not-small waist, his chubby face was smiling, making him look very good natured. Beside the elder was the wind elemental mage Long Haochen had met before, currently watching him with a vignt look. Greetings, Temple Head Li. I am the Provisional Saint Knight representing the Knight Temple, Twelfth Golden Knight. Our Knight Temples chief Long has prepared a handmade letter for you. Saying that, he bowed slightly and made his salutations to Temple Head Li. This chubby Temple Head of the Mage Temple was named Li Zhengzhi, bearing a crude name, but reckoned to be one of the foremost in the Alliance in terms of strength. Dont judge him too early based on his outside appearance and good-naturedness. In reality, he was among the particrly vicious and ruthless powerhouses of the Alliances elite. Back in the day, he once prated deeply in the demons borders, fully using forbidden spells in six demon provinces and enraging the Demon God Emperor, who sent the Moon Demon God Agares after him. Since this urred on the far side of the demon nation, this battles oue was not well understood. But at least, Li Zhengzhi was still well, having be the current controller behind the Mage Temple. Seeing Long Haochen bow to him, Li Zhengzhi showed a deep look, and directed a smile, Saint Knight Head doesnt need to stand on formalities. Saying that, he raised his hand. One could see waves of geen light instantly burst forth toward Long Haochen, but when this green attack reached him, its driving force rmed Haochen. Is he?probing?me??Long Haochen was originally not a verypetitive person, but as the Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple, he naturally couldnt cower at such a time. Coming to a standstill, Long Haochens aura immediately had a great change. A thinyer of golden color extended from the Golden Foundation Armor, and light buzzing sounds were heard. A fantastic scene followed. That green light pushed onto his body at full force the instant it arrived, but as this golden light covered Long Haochens surroundings, it met this impact attack, and echoed with the green attack, making for a dazzling sight. The female mage Tan Wan standing to the side opened her eyes wide. This was the first time she saw someone use such methods to dispel her teachers probing. Although Long Haochen was a light elemental knight, she felt as if he had perfectly assimted the secret of the wind elemental spiritual energy discharged by Li Zhengzhi. The two of them were confronting each other with entirely different looks, as Li Zhengzhis spiritual energy obviously didnt manage to shake him in the slightest. Good! Li Zhenzhi had high praises, As steady as a mountain, standing on firm guard, spiritual energy prepared at any times. If I am not mistaken, this ability of yours, Saint Knight Head, should be self-created, making your own elemental power resonate to reach the same frequency as my wind elemental spiritual energy. Even I have no way tobine my spiritual energy with other abilities under such premises. But I am shocked to see that this ability of yours was perfectly integrated into Divine Obstruction, using your own body as fuel. What a great surprise! It looks like the Knight Temple has found itself another exceptional powerhouse. How enviable! Long Haochen respectfully replied, Temple Head Li is exaggerating. Your strength is as vast as the ocean. I am merely a lonesome boat inparison. These words were purely sincere. Although he had used his evolved Ripples of Light ability to resist Li Zhengzhis spiritual energy shock, that spiritual energy immediately submerged him like a vast ocean, something he could himself only possibly aplish by using a very powerful ability of shock. Li Zhengzhiughed out loud, Come, and let me see the letter Old Long has written. Saying that, he waved his hand towards Long Haochen, a green light turning into a rope then lightly rolled around the scroll in Haochens hand. As it slowly moved, the scroll flew towards him. This was real exquisite knowledge. Although he used very little spiritual energy, all of it was coiling like a snake, without the slightest superficial leak. This was basically a master level control of spiritual energy. Long Haochen had never seen such exquisite control in his life. As merit follows fame, this Temple Head Li gave him a feeling of unfathomable deepness. Li Zhengzhi pointed his hand to the scroll. Without need for him to pay concern to the method of opening this scroll depicted by Long Haochen, the scroll spread out in his hand. Dont underestimate this small act, the simple-looking act of breaking the magical array around a magic scroll. This was after all a magic scroll made by the Divine Knight Long Tianying. Furthermore, Long Haochen could clearly feel that Li Zhengzhi was showing off purposely. He could very naturally use his own spiritual energy to take care of daily matters, making understandable the reason for his heavy body weight. His spiritual energy could help him with almost any matter, therefore his body didnt move much, and naturally would pile up fat. This fatness was very natural. Teasers are back!

Chapter 550: Mage Temples Temple Head (I)

Trantor: GravityTales After opening the scroll, Li Zhengzhi became very focused, taking a few minutes to read it fully. After that, his expression changed unceasingly as he kept reading. Closing the scroll, Li Zhengzhi shut both his eyes, seemingly pondering. A short momentter, he dered to the nearby Tan Wan, Please go out first, I need to have a talk with Saint Knight Head. Tan Wan was shocked. She was Li Zhengzhis one and only personal disciple. Dont judge Li Zhengzhi because of his short and stout appearance. His face was always carrying warmth and a smile, but she knew well about the extreme pride of this teacher of hers, regarded as the number one genius of the Mage temple for thest thousand years. Her teacher was only sixty or so years old this year, surpassing by far sessive generations of top notch powerhouses of the Mage Temple. In cultivation, even the Knight Temples three Divine Knights wouldnt necessarily be her teachers opponent. The reason why she was her only disciple was that among the top of the younger generation of the Mage Temple, only her talent obtained the approval of her teacher, in addition to the fact that they shared the same wind element. Seeing the seriousness on her teachers current face, Tan Wan immediately understood that this Provisional Saint Knight Head representing the Knight Temple was absolutely not that simple, or her teacher wouldnt view him so importantly. Tan Wan also inherited Li Zhengzhis pride, but because she was still young, she wasnt good at concealing that pride, and often let it surface. But this didnt mean she wasnt intelligent: on the contrary, her wits and talents were highly praised even by Li Zhengzhi. Hearing her teacher, she only gave Long Haochen a stupefied nce before promptly agreeing, leaving from the right side and letting out some twisted light fluctuations, soundlessly disappearing from space. His disciple having left, Li Zhengzhi returned to that harmless face, Now should be the time for you to show me your true face, Knight Temples Scion of Light. Light circted around, as the Golden Foundation Armor flew out from Long Haochens body like a liquid, condensing into a Golden Foundation box behind Long Haochens back. Tapping his right fist on his chest, he respectfully dered, Knight Temples Long Haochen greets Temple Head. Seeing Long Haochens excessively young look and handsome face, Li Zhengzhi just stared nkly. Despite being very good at concealing his emotion, his inward shock was still extremely great. The contents of Long Tianyings letter was very clear: Long Haochen was his biological grandson, and truly was formally appointed as the Knight Temples Saint Knight Head. In the meantime, the Knight Temple already gave its approval for him to reform his Demon Hunt Squad, and wished for the Mage Temples cooperation. If the Tombal Mountain Pass has any needs, he could join them in battle, but not for more than three months time. Although this letter didnt mention Long Haochens cultivation, with Li Zhengzhis understanding of Long Tianyings character, he understood the old Longs stubborn points. Even his own grandson wouldnt be allowed to wear this Golden Foundation Armor without sufficient strength. In addition, his previous probing had already made him feel clearly that Long Haochens cultivation was indeed at least at the eighth step. Li Zhengzhi was shocked facing this youngster, whose body spread out a light essence of extreme purity to an extent that Li Zhengzhi had never seen before in his life. Despite having handsome looks, his eyes were still very gentle, just like a cultivator having reached his forties or fifties. His treasured personal disciple could absolutely notpare in any way with such a temperament. Letting out a light sigh, Li Zhengzhi revealed a bitter smile, I was originally thinking that before long, the Mage Temples time could possiblye. But it looks impossible. The Knight Temples luck isnt anything we canpare with. His words sounded like they made no sense, but Long Haochen could understand the meaning behind them. This Temple Head Li was regarded as the greatestpetitor of the Knight Temple, acimed as the powerhouse with the highest level of cultivation. His cultivation even exceeded those old characters over a hundred years old in Titled Demon Hunt Squads. Purely in terms of cultivation, none of the three Divine Knights of the Knight Temple could contest against him. Before Long Haochen came, the Knight Temples hopes were ced upon Long Xingyu. But the Knight Temple also understood that Xingyu was below Li Zhengzhi in terms of talent, but was also a lot younger in the end, therefore probably giving him no opportunity to catch up Li Zhengzhis cultivation in this lifetime. But who would have thought that the Knight Temple would produce this Long Haochen? Just look at his cultivation until now. He only used ten or so years to be a Saint Knight of the eighth step. This speed of progress, added up to his talent as a Scion of Light and a gods chosen one made his probability of surpassing this Temple Head in the future extremely great. Facing Li Zhengzhi and seeing him sigh with sorrow, Long Haochen didnt utter a word, only keeping his crystal clear eyes on the Temple Head of the Mage Temple. Li Zhengzhi immediately retrieved the scroll in his hand, tidying it up, Have a seat, we shall talk. Saying that, he brought Long Haochen into the hall behind him, then sat on the sofa. Li Zhengzhis office was decorated simply, but gave off a feeling of sturdiness. All the furniture was made of a crow-ck wood, which Long Haochen didnt recognize. It distributed a faint fragrance, which made Long Haochen distinctly feel as if his mental force was boosted as he smelled it. The most characteristic point in this office was the bookshelf on its wall. It probably had over ten thousand books piled up, and let out a simple and unadorned atmosphere. Furthermore, there were so many books having a spiritual nature that Long Haochen could sense which made them feel as though they were alive. Li Zhengzhi said with a smile, Long Haochen, you should havee to look for Lin Xin, right? Did you know that a bit over a year ago, before the Demon God Emperor initiated the Holy War, I was the first one from the Alliance to give my approval to hand you over. Do you know why? Long Haochen was slightly nk, and didnt think this Mage Temples Head would be so direct with his words. Thats because the Alliance isnt prepared for such a Holy War. Theres still a considerable gap between the demons forces and ours, and we need time. Long Haochen replied indifferently, as if Li Zhengzhi wasnt speaking about the matter of sacrificing his own life. Li Zhengzhi dered with some surprise, So you are one of the rare ones that saw through my thoughts. Many were thinking that I wanted to strike the Knight Temple, for the sake of winning the seat of number one from the Knight Temple. Youre right. The Alliances preparation is still not enough. But theres another reason why I wanted to hand you over. Because I am not prepared yet. Huh? When Long Haochen looked at this short and stout elder, he suddenly had a special feeling. From Li Zhengzhi could be felt an absolute self-confidence, the belief that he could certainly one day match the Demon God Emperor controlling all demons. Li Zhengzhi was seated on the sofa, unhurriedly dering, Thats right, Im still not prepared yet. For six thousand years, the Temple Alliance had been umting forces. Although the contradictions between the Six Great Temples were unavoidable, in front of the powerfulmon enemy, everyone has to unify. And what we want is tounch the counterattack against demonkind, to retrieve our lost territory, and even eradicate forever the demons from the continent. For that, an important issue has to be faced, and thats the Demon God Emperor. The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu is said to have a spiritual energy totalling a million, making him reach another realm. If the Alliance doesnt have anyone able to beat him, what use would there even be to overpower the demons side? In the end, we will still hardly escape the fate of ending up as the losing side. Thats why I said that Im not ready yet. To speak arrogantly, I have always believed, until meeting you, that I am the one with the greatest chances to take him down with myself. Reaching this point, Li Zhengzhis self confidence became even greater. This year, I will be sixty-seven years old. If I am given a hundred more years, maybe I will have such a chance. But if the Alliance copses, the final ending will inevitably be tragic. Therefore, I couldnt ruin the possibility of such a good situation just because of you. Unfortunately, the influence the Knight Temple has gained over so many years was nothing I couldpare with, and in the end my proposal was rejected. However, now it seems that Yang Haohan and Long Tianying really were right. You are worth such an investment from the Alliance. While saying that, Li Thenzhi suddenly sounded quite tired, but also rxed, as if an immense burden had just been unloaded from him. The mages are the most sensitive to mental fluctuations. I am not amazed by your age, or your cultivation, but by your will. Your look is deep, reserved, andbative, proof of your iparable steadiness. And your eyes are firm, not showing the slightest impatience or pride. These two characteristics added together are making me see through your future. Very good, excellent! However, the journey you will have to walk is still very long. I wish for you to ept my heavy responsibility to challenge the Demon God Emperor. I know that your Knight Temple has always hoped to thoroughly unite the Six Great Temples, to join forces thoroughly, disy our full strength, and establish a united country which would face the Demon God Emperor. I dont reject this proposal, but hope that the Mage Temple can lead it, while the other Temples also have their own views. For this reason, this suggestion has remained stranded even after so many years. If one day, you can defeat me, I will ept your Knight Temples proposal on behalf of the Mage Temple, while giving you the qualifications to challenge the Demon God Emperor. Long Haochen calmly listened to Li Zhengzhis speech. From beginning to end, he didnt oppose him at all. He found out that he already had taken a liking for this Mage Temple Head. He didnt show any reservation, and although he could sound unpleasant at times, he had clearly expressed his approval of Long Haochens, as well as the Alliances future expectations. Chapter 551 - Mage Temple’s Head (II)

Chapter 551: Mage Temples Head (II)

A sharp look was shot from Li Zhengzhis eyes, piercing Long Haochen like sharp swords and immediately exciting the spiritual energy in him. A drizzling splendor overflowed from him, and took the shape of a defensive,yered, spiritual hignd. Li Zhenzhi showed a slight smile and shifted his sight back to him, Long Haochen. You have to remember that this world has never beencking geniuses. Although talent such as yours is extremely rare, it doesnt mean such has never appeared. But until now, the humans have never produced a powerhouse truly able to stand against the Demon God Emperor. Do you know why? Long Haochen shook his head, Please exin Temple Head. Li Zhengzhi replied, Thats because they didnt understand the notion of patiently enduring. What? Long Haochens brain had been working at high speeds after hearing Zhengzis question, but this was an answer that hadnte to his mind. The previous Scion of Samsara and the Divine Holy Sword Wielder were also unbelievable prodigies of their generation. Their cultivation also reached the ninth step, but in the end, it still ended up with their deaths. At most, the demon side was only restrained a little. In terms of innate talent, they are absolutely not below you, and may even surpass you. For instance, it was at the age of thirty six that the Scion of Samsara of that time dared challenge the Demon God Emperor, amply proving his self-confidence and strength. But in the end both sides suffered damage, and the same went for the the Divine Holy Sword Wielder. Their talent could very possibly lead arge human counteroffensive, or at least turn around the situation of disadvantage. But in the end, they all lost because of their impetuousness. Seeing Long Haochens expression of iprehension, Li Zhengzhi dered, You dont understand right? Then, let me put it simply. If the Scion of Samsara of that time hadnt challenged the Demon God Emperor at the age of thirty-six, but one hundred thirty-six years old, would the result be the same? If the Divine Holy Sword Wielder had challenged him at the age of one hundred forty or so years instead of forty or so, what about it? Long Haochen couldnt help but retort, But these ancestors had no other choice at that time! The demon army was suppressing the territory and left them without a choice but to act. Li Zhengzhi snorted to that, letting out an expression of disdain, They had exactly the same mentality as you, which is why they didnt manage to really became the leaders of a human victory against the demon race. Since the start of the dark era, we werepelled to this small piece ofnd, but have never beenpelled to a desperate situation. Thats right, the demons would frequentlyunch attacks, but having crossed hands with them, what do you think to be the gap between the Alliance and the demons strengths. Long Haochen replied very seriously, The demons are under the lead of the seventy-two demon gods, and their army of powerhouses is considerably formidable. Only by relying on the natural advantages of the six great forts can the Alliance barely resist their attacks. Of course, we are surely inferior in terms of strength, and I dont understand the true secret trumps that the Alliance has in reserve. Li Zhengzhi replied to that, You are making a good point. Indeed, the demons forces are more powerful than ours, and it has been the case all along until now. But have you thought about six thousand years ago? How were things back then? At that time, the demon gods also numbered seventy-two, and their first generation of demon gods was the strongest inprehensive strength. Since they could reduce us to this state, do you really think they couldnt extinguish us thoroughly? The truth is contained in the history of the Alliances struggles against the demons. They had more than ten opportunities to thoroughly destroy the Alliance. If the Demon God Emperor didnt spare any cost tounch a full force attack against us, we would have been destroyed long before. And the human bloodline would have stopped long ago. Oh!? Long Haochen had a look of rm, Temple Head, you are right. Then why didnt the demons do so? Li Zhengzhi had a cold smile on his face, Theyre raising us in a closed space. Right, the demon forces are far greater than us, but they are after all not from our world. Except for fights and destructions, they arent capable of anything. If humans really go extinct, there wont even be a need for someone else to avenge us, the demons will just walk through the path of destruction by themselves. Therefore, the demons dont dare annihte us. This is the secret behind the six thousand years of the dark age. Behind our backs, the demons will frequently conduct transactions with our side, its just that the masses dont know about that. And how about this Holy War? Long Haochen still had some disbelief in Li Zhengzhis words. Li Zhengzhi indifferently answered, Holy War? You may be the fuse that triggered it, but in truth, the fundamental reason behind it is that the demons are afraid. Over the past years, the growth of the Alliance has been too fast and surpassed their expectations. The Demon God Emperor is fearing that our strength grows too fast, and threatens the demon rule. At the same time, the demons numbers are far too enormous, and need to be reduced. Thats why this Holy War broke out, and why until now, none of the Six Great Temples have been broken through despite the simultaneous attacks. Long Haochen gasped, faintlyprehending Li Zhengzhis point. Thetter continued, In other words, at those times, they had not been in situations where they had no other choice but to fight to death. If the Divine Holy Sword Wielder or the Scion of Samsara had endured silently for long enough, until the time that they had a certain enough grasp, the Alliance wouldnt be in its current state. As you are an intelligent person, I believe that you understood my point. Of course, I am not telling you to shut yourself inside the Alliance until then; quite the opposite, true growth andprehension require one to incessantly challenge powerhouses, to undergo incessant battles. But you have to remember to try as far as possible to avoid getting into unnecessary danger and troubles. At this point, Li Zhengzhi shut his eyes and leaned on the sofa, seemingly reflecting deeply. Long Haochen replied respectfully, Many thanks to you, elder. From our conversation, I owe Senior a sudden sh of insight and deepprehension. Li Zhengzhi waved his hand, Now go livepetitively. Although I appreciate your talent, I definitely wont show mercy in the battle for the Six Temples rankings. Its still too early for you to think of defeating me. Five yearster will start the next Temples contest. I hope that at that time, I wont see you as an opponent. But in fifteen years you should be able to truly start spreading your radiance. Long Haochen slowly stood up and made, once again, his salutations to Li Zhengzhi before turning around. Li Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Long Haochens steady departing steps. Deep inside, his thoughts were,?What a child of fortune! I hope that he wont follow his predecessors steps. Li Zhengzhis words really rang a bell inside Long Haochens mind. Being about to reach twenty this year, and having focused all his energy on cultivation and fights against demons over the past ten years, his understanding of the Alliances internal affairs and the rtionship between demonkind and humankind wasnt great. Since his return from the Swamps of Gloom, and especially after his return from seclusion, he had learned a lot of things he didnt know before from Long Tianying, Sheng Yue, and Li Zhengzhi. Almost everything was about guiding him in the correct path. Long Haochen therefore gained in maturity. Hey. As Li Zhengzhis words were reverberating in Long Haochens mind, he heard a call. Long Haochen felt startled, and unconsciously turned around. Both he and the person who called him out became nk. The one whod just called him was obviously Li Zhengzhis direct disciple Tan Wan. And this was as Long Haochen was thinking of leaving through the transporting formation. At that time he met face to face with Tan Wan. In a sh of sluggishness, he came to realize his mistake: because Li Zhengzhis talk brought him far too much, it was enough to make him forget to put on the Golden Foundation Armor before going back out. And at such a time, Tan Wan came to meet him face to face. Tan Wans shock was obvious, naturally due to Long Haochens looks. Youare that guy? Seeing Long Haochens young and handsome looks, her eyes became filled with unbelief. The only other ones present in Li Zhengzhis office were Li Zhengzhi himself as well as that Provisional Saint Knight Head. Seeing aplete strangere out, she naturally deduced that since it wasnt her teacher, it could only be that Provisional Saint Knight Head. Being the direct disciple of the Mage Temples head Li Zhengzhi, and moreover blessed with good looks, Tan Wan was an ideal lover in the eyes of almost all mages of the Mage Temple. The youths that came solicitously to her were far too many, but she was certain that the person in front of her eyes was iparable to any one of them. Her first thought was,?So a man can actually be so nice-looking.?Be it in terms of build or looks, she couldnt see a single w of Long Haochen. As someone who used to be conceited in her looks, she unexpectedly had a kind of feeling of shame, and moreover, that person looked even younger than her. Long Haochens immediate response gave Tan Wan a certain confirmation. After finding out about his mistake, he immediately liberated his Golden Foundation Armor. Under Tan Wans helpless look, that golden armor glinting in orange speedily covered Long Haochens body, and the golden mask reappeared to shelter his face from view. Thats really you? After a short time of sluggishness, Tan Wans expression was already filled to the brim with shock. Long Haochen nodded to her, before stepping inside the transporting formation, immediately being sent away. Seeing his silhouette gradually turn illusory, Tan Wan immediately rushed out from Li Zhengzhis transporting formation. A girls curiosity was always greater than a boys, and moreover this shock exceeded all she used to know. Right after arriving in the second floor Long Haochen was in great shock, because he saw in a nce that Caier was under another persons embrace. After giving another good look, he was filled with nice surprise and stepped forward rapidly, letting out a loud shout, Big sis, Lin Xin!!! The one hugging Caier was Li Xin, who Long Haochen hadnt seen for a long while. And beside them Lin Xin, who had regained his long dark green hair, was holding right hands with Han Yu, full of excitement. Chapter 552 - Mage Temple’s Head (III)

Chapter 552: Mage Temples Head (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Originally, Lin Xin just got notified by Elder Fei right after Long Haochen was called out by the Mage Temples Head Li Zhengzhi. Hearing news about mates from his team as well as a Golden Foundation Knight, he immediately had a guess. No one had a better trust in Long Haochens strength than Lin Xin. He was almost certain that Haochen was that Golden Foundation Knight. Immediately, he picked up Li Xin in ecstasy and hastened as fast as possible. In the corridor, he ran upon Caier and Han Yu who were waiting for Long Haochens return. Li Xin heard about Caiers loss of memories long before. Filled with feelings of tenderness, her sight was hazy with tears as she hugged her. Lin Xin and Han Yu were holding each others right hand firmly: after two years passed, the brothers were so happy to reunite they were at lost for words. Before they had the time to start conversing, Long Haochen returned. Lin Xin let go of Han Yus hand, and shouted loudly, Boss! Dashing quickly, he gave Long Haochen an enormous hug. Everyone was full of excitement, and almost unable to control themselves. Although Long Haochen was d in Golden Foundation Armor, his voice didnt change. Haochen! Li Xin let go of Caier and stepped forward with an expression of nice surprise. Despite her strong nature, she was totally dripping with tears. Letting go of his hug with Lin Xin, Long Haochen closely hugged Li Xin. The surging emotions made Long Haochen speechless as he was choked with emotions. After quite a while, everyones emotions came back to tranquility, and Long Haochen dered, Lets talk after we get inside the room. The five of them entered Long Haochens room together. After shutting his room well, Long Haochen tookoff the Golden Foundation Armor on him in a rush. In front of his elder sister and brother, how could he be willing to stay estranged in thisyer of metal? At this time he could observe Li Xin and Lin Xin with attention. Compared to the time before their separation, Li Xin seemed a lot more mature, her build was even more fiery and sexy. Her pink hair wasbed behind her head, and her eyes showed great focus. Her cultivation had obviously progressed greatly. Compared to Li Xin, Lin Xins changes were even more huge. Before their separation, Lin Xin used to give off a frivolous feeling, but at the current time, the changes in his looks werent huge but it felt clear that he had be much more resolute. He also looked quite dignified, giving him a steady look, which was something unthinkable to describe the past him. In particr, the expression in his eyes was focused and steady,cking the erratic wandering of before. It seemed that he had matured greatly over these two years of separation. Without looking at his appearance, Long Haochen may have been unable to recognize him. Even without asking, Long Haochen could imagine that Lin Xin had experienced a lot over the past two years. Lin Xin, these two years have been hard on you. Long Haochen dered sincerely. These words werent fired blindly. The one who contributed the most for the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad over these two years was Lin Xin. The pills he made gave huge boosts to everyones external spiritual energy, and he also supplied a lot of pills for everyones survival. And their captain Long Haochen didnt do any such thing, only remaining in secluded cultivation all this time. Hearing Long Haochen speak so, Lin Xins expression had a change. Abruptly standing up, he stood straight in front of him like a child in the wrong, Captain, dont say that. What I did was only natural. But, but... Li Xin suddenly stepped in, Let it be, this is all the past. Now that everyone has reunited with such difficulty, what do you want to say that for? Lin Xin turned his head to nce at Li Xin. To Long Haochens surprise, Lin Xin who was originally head over heels for Li Xin shook his head resolutely, Xiner, I have to say it no matter what. If I dont let Boss know about this matter, I wont be able to rest for this whole lifetime. Long Haochen, who understood the seriousness of the matter, asked in puzzlement, Whats has happened in the end? Just what kind of matter? Lin Xin lowered his head, I didnt defend Xiner well. During this Holy War, her arm was cut off by the enemy. What? Long Haochen stood up in shock all of a sudden. The look in his eyes immediately bing severe. To him, Li Xin was no less than a blood-rted big sister. Back in Hao Yue City, Li Xins meticulous care gave him a moral support that was no inferior to a parents. Theres no way Long Haochens attachment to Li Xin could ever weaken. Li Xin hastily stood up, This is all in the past, didnt this arm just get connected back? For my sake, Lin Xin has been suffering a lot over more than a year. Haochen, dont me him, this was absolutely not his fault. While saying that, she took the initiative to join Lin Xins side and held his right arm, nestling against him, full of warmth. Seeing them, Long Haochen immediately came to an understanding. Lin Xin had a guilty look, both his eyes reddened, while Lin Xin had a warm and happy look. Obviously, their feelings towards each other had made a qualitative leap. Lin Xin, just tell me what has happened in great detail. I also heard that you are now the captain of the number one mage squad of the Mage Temple. Right when Lin Xin wanted to start to talk, Li Xin rushed to be the first, Let me tell you everything. If you listen to him, it will surely end up as a speech of himself trying to take all me. Hes just totally blind with love! Theres no war without deceased and wounded. At that time, he was busy making pills inside the Temple, while I was participating in the Tombal Mountain Pass defense, and in one battle, my arm was cut off by the enemy. Afterwards, it was attached back, but had lost a lot of its agility. Like a madman, Lin Xin then kept insisting that he didnt protect me well. And then he changed, and broke that oath he made once, starting to train using offensive magic, while developing all kinds of pills to try to treat my arm. Now this broken arm has already recoveredpletely, and after training in the use of offensive magic, greatly increasing his capabilities, he joined in battles, and rose in ranks swiftly due to his own strength and outstanding performance. Gaining appreciation from the Mage Temples higher-ups, he umted military deeds until gaining the position of captain of the number one mage squad. Hearing Li Xins whole story, both Long Haochen and Han Yu were in great shock, and Han Yu asked, Have you really learnt offensive magic? Li Xins story sounded very simple, and could sound like a very ordinary story from an outsiders viewpoint. But with Long Haochens understanding of Lin Xin, he could sense that when Li Xins arm had been cut off, Lin Xin he been greatly provoked. In fact, the reason why Lin Xin had pledged to never learn offensive magic was that his parents both died while researching magic in the past. This shadow influenced him as one might well imagine. But because of Li Xins injuries, Lin Xin actually walked out of this shadow. For the sake of protecting Li Xin, he learnt offensive magic. This instant, Long Haochen finally rxed. So that unreliable mage who was unable to attack finally matured, and finally became someone whos able to protect his big sister well. Stepping forward, Long Haochen came in front of Lin Xin. Seeing Long Haochens pure eyes, Lin Xins heartbeat immediately quickened. Anyone could tell his nervousness. Li Xin seemed to want to keep speaking, but was stopped with one gesture from Long Haochen. Lifting up both his hands, Long Haochen grabbed Lin Xins shoulder, Its enough brother. These days have been really hard on you. Lin Xin was nk. He used to imagine many times in the past the attitude his captain would have after hearing that story. But he didnt imagined that he would receive this response. Tears were brimming from his eyes. Over the past two years, he just paid far too much. His frantic magic cultivation even greatly impressed Tan Wan, renowned as the number one genius of the younger generation. While keeping such a frantic rate of cultivation he took time outside for developing a medicine for Li Xin. The real times of rest he had were below two hours daily. Only by madly indulging himself in training could he lighten that pain and guilt he had. Many times, he encountered a dangerous situation of elemental bacsh, but even so, he kept forcing his limits. At this very moment, that simple sentence from Long Haochen made Lin Xin feel that all he invested was worth it. His captain didnt me him for that! Boss... The immense pressure filling him was finally abandoned, and Lin Xins closed heart finally opened totally. Losing his voice in bitter cries, his pent up emotions raged out like a mountain torrent. Han Yu wanted to advance to console him, but was blocked by Li Xin. She understood Lin Xins current mental state the most clearly. Now that he was finally liberated from these emotional issues, letting him cry his fill was definitely far better than holding these sentiments back inside him. Lin Xins burst of emotionsted for over a quarter of an hour before calming down. Although his eyes became inmed due to crying, his look was clearly a lot softer, and his repressed heartstrings finally loosened. He didnt have that immense mental pressure anymore, but the intense tiredness made him directly fall asleep in Li Xins arms. The pressure he inflicted upon himself these days was too much. After letting it all out, he needed to have a good rest to let his body and mind recover their normal state. Two dayster, on the Tombal Mountain Pass fortress. What does the Mage temple rely on most to defend the Tombal Mountain Pass? Its without a doubt their mages. The Mage Temple had a total of ten main mage squads, all formed of five hundred people, all of whom reached at least the fifth step of cultivation. The ones below the fifth step only served as backup forces, and werent allowed to join the battlefield. This was a protective action the Mage Temple chose for the sake of defending the mages of lower cultivation. After all fostering a mage wasnt an easy thing at all, and maybe another Li Zhengzhi could appear among these mages of currently low rank. Aside from the ten main mage squads, they had some even more powerful mage squads, constituted of powerhouses. All of the main mage squads were specialized in only one element, because this was the only way to avoid the appearance of elementary shes in the battlefield. It wasnt because of being the strongest in the team that Lin Xin managed to distinguish himself as captain, but because the number one mage squad, known as Ignition Corps, was onlyposed of control mages. Chapter 553 - Hell’s Descent (I)

Chapter 553: Hells Descent (I)

Boss, these are my fellow brothers. Lin Xin pointed to five hundred mages all d in fiery red gowns as he spoke. After going through two days rest, Lin Xins body was close to normal. After releasing his mental burden and letting out his pent up feelings, his mental force seemed to have a consequent rise. As the Captain of the number one mage squad, he obviously couldnt rest for too long. After recovering his spirit, he immediately returned to his post. Aside from Li Zhengzhis summons from that day, Long Haochen didnt receive any order or request from the Mage Temple. In other words, he was in a state of total freedom. At least for now, Lin Xin was still the captain of the number one mage squad. With his invitation full of great kindness, Long Haochens group of three apanied by Li Xin arrived on the fortress. With Lin Xins status in the Tombal Mountain Pass, making a proof of identity for them couldnt be easier. The ones guarding the front of the fortress were all tall, robust warriors d in heavy armor. These warriors were almost all backup sent by the Warrior Temple, and at their rear were mages. The number of mages on the fortress was sufficient to astonish anyone. For as far as the eye could see, Long Haochen saw over two thousand mages on the city walls. And furthermore, mages of different elements were all assigned to different mage squads and were d in gowns of different colors, showing proof of their assignations. When looking into the distance, eight demon god pirs could be seen standing straight among the demon barracks. Seven of them formed a ring around the central one, which was particrly immense. Dense purplish ck radiance was unceasingly rising up above this demon god pir, and one could faintly see a fierce face appearing in the midst of the purplish ck light. The Hell Demon Marbas was ranked fifth amongst demon gods. Like the Demon God of Death Saminaga was overseeing the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the Hell Demon God Marbas was standing around here, from this one could see how much the demon side valued this Tombal Mountain Pass. After the Holy War went on for so long, the Tombal Mountain Pass was the side with the fewest casualties. This wasnt only about human casualties, but also demon casualties. Thats because in the absolute majority of times, both sides mages were opposed, and no one was able to easily break through the enemys defensive formations. In terms of magical force, the Tombal Mountain Pass wasnt inferior to the enemy in the slightest, and had the advantage of terrain, making use of their magical array. Marbas even personally intervened sometimes, but never managed to turn the tides, returning in low spirits due to failure every time. Mages! The fire mages forming the team were all looking at Long Haochens group curiously. Fully d in his uniform of golden armor, Long Haochen was undoubtedly the greatest focus of attention. However, as they were firmly disciplined, no one muttered anyments. Lin Xin lowered his voice to a great extent, asking Long Haochen, Boss, when are we going? Lets go look for Yuanyuan in the southeastern fort. South of the Tombal Mountain Pass was the side of the Warrior Temple. After reuniting with Long Haochen, Lin Xin became even more eager to reunite with the others. Long Haochen let out a faint smile, No hurry. Since we have arrived inside the Tombal Mountain Pass, we should do our best to help and then after a few battles time well see again whether we can really find some contributions to bring our help to the Tombal Mountain Pass. Of course, he had another thought as he came to the decision of remaining here for a bit longer. Long Tianying and Li Zhengzhis words made him realize deeply the importance of uniting the Six Great Temples for real, and they ced this hope onto Long Haochens shoulders. To join hands together against the demon threat, it was first necessary to understand the Six Great Temples. The battlefield was obviously the best ce for that. Our Tombal Mountain Pass is invulnerable to attack, theres no need for an outsider such as you to do anything. A cold voice sounded out from nearby. Long Haochens group turned round, only to see a man and a woman escorted by dozens of mages. It was Xuanyuan Yan and Tan Wan. Tan Wan was walking in the front and Xuanyuan Yan a few steps behind. Both of them were fully d in mage attire, faintly letting out some strong magic fluctuations. Seeing them, Lin Xin was stupefied, but immediately became enraged at her, letting out a cold shout, What did you just say Seeing Lin Xin, Xuanyuan Yan had a distinct look of jealousy. Tan Yans expression was still odd, as she rapidly swept a nce at Lin Xin standing beside Li Xin, coldly dering, The Tombal Mountain Pass doesnt need outsiders. Lin Xin, as the captain of the number one mage squad, you still brought outsiders onto the fortress without explicit approval. This matter will be reported to the Temple. Lin Xin wrinkled his brows, looking at Tan Wan with a clearlyplex gaze, Miss Wanzi, why would there be any need for that? [TN: Wanzi is a pun between Pill and something like, Little Wan] As this appetion of Miss Tan came out, Tan Wans body shook visibly, but she rapidly suppressed her own emotions, Captain Lin, please conduct yourself with dignity. I am the captain of the Raging Wind Legion, not some miss. I am ordering you to immediately bring these people out, or else dont me me for bing ruthless. The Raging Wind Squad didnt belong to the ten main mage squads, but was a mage squad directly subordinate to the Mage Temples head Li Zhengzhi. After Tan Wans cultivation broke through the seventh step, Li Zhengzhi put this squad formed of wind elemental mages under hermand. In terms of status, the Raging Wind Legion was visibly above the ten main squads, which was to say that Tan Wan was without mistake Lin Xins superior officer. Lin Xins face had a burst of red before having a burst of white, but in front of Tan Wan, he seemed unwilling to re up like he seemed about to. Long Haochen pat his shoulder, smiling to him, Let it be, Lin Xin. Since the Tombal Mountain Pass doesnt need our assistance, we will go down for now. Saying that, he turned toward Caier and Han, and turned round, heading down from the fortress. Wait a moment! Tan Wan said suddenly. Long Haochen turned round, Is Captain Tan Wan calling for me? Tan Wan nodded, her look bing very sharp, Before Provisional Saint Knight Head returns to the Tombal Mountain Pass, would it be possible to ask for your guidance, topare notes with me? I will beparing notes with you. Without waiting for Long Haochen to start to talk, Caier became unable to bear it. A tyrannical burst of killing intent swept out from her. Long Haochen could keep enduring, but she couldnt. If someone remained so overbearing, Caier had to break out in rage sooner orter. In front of the killing intent discharged by Caier, the expression on the faces of the crowd of mages immediately changed. Outside of Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan, all of them dropped to the ground and only barely managed to resist the onught of her killing intent by hurriedly stimting their spiritual energy. Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan also looked perturbed. Xuanyuan Yan had seen before how Caier cut the seal open, and was better off, but Tan Wan was in great shock. The killing intent from Caier congealed, tyrannical beyondpare. Before she put it to use, not the slightest bit of it was allowed to leak out. That required a considerable level of training and cultivation! Long Haochen pressed on Caiers shoulder, Forget about it. The Six Great Temples are the same family. Our strength should be focused on the enemy and not for inner battles. Lets go. Saying that, he pulled Caier to turn around and go down from the fortress. Li Xin gave Tan Wan a profound nce, and followed Long Haochens crew out. Lin Xin couldnt help but clench his fist, looking at Tan Wan with ferocity. Aside, Xuanyuan Yan sneered, Lin Xin, dont let such matters happen again. Otherwise, we will use you of misconduct. Get out of here, is this some ce for you to butt in? Lin Xins suppressed rage was almost instantly set to mes. He was unable to find a way out against Tan Wan, but Xuanyuan Yan didnt make him afraid in the slightest. You Xuanyuan Yan didnt have a good temperament either, and became angry at Lin Xin. Pointing with the white staff in his hand he formed an arrow of light and shot it at Lin Xin. Lin Xin had a look of disdain. His eyes twinkled with blue light, and his body immediately undted with watery ripples. At two meters distance, that light arrow was directly dposed, and immediately, a sharp phoenix cry ascended above Lin Xin. A vigorous blue fire burst forth from his body, rising into the surrounding air. Above Lin Xin condensed a phoenixs shape, facing Xuanyuan Yan. His eyes were also bursting out with surly killing intent, already full of murderous spirit. Enough, stop. Tan Wan shouted in anger, standing in the middle of the two before turning towards Xuanyuan Yan, We are going. Saying that, she turned around and left. Neither Xuanyuan Yan nor Lin Xin could respond to Tan Wan. As Tan Wan looked deeply at the mes rising around Lin Xin, his eyes twinkled with anger. After snorting, he turned around and left. The blue mes slowly vanished, as Lin Xin hatefully pped at the air, as the mes scattered in all direction. On the other side, Li Xin was following them away, Haochen. Im alright sis. Long Haochen naturally understood that Li Xin wanted to console him. Li Xin sigh then said, Speaking of which, things have been made quite difficult for Lin Xin. His contradiction with Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan is greatly rted to me. Hm? Long Haochen had a quite curious look, I found Lin Xin quite respectful towards Tan Wan, but she still insisted on criticizing him. Just two days ago, Long Haochen had met with the head Li Zhengzhi as the Provisional Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple. Even with Tan Wans identity in the Mage Temple, theres no way she should be so impolite towards him. Long Haochen took notice before that when Tan Wan was speaking to them, her gaze was focused on Lin Xin from beginning to end. That rage seemed clearly rted to Lin Xin. They only seemed to have been targets on whom her anger was to be taken out. Li Xin replied, This matter was born from a misunderstanding. When he was young,, Lin Xin used to live in the Tombal Mountain Pass, and Tan Wan was a few years older. He used to always call her Miss Wanzi, and since she was young, shes always taken good care of him and treated him well. Lin Xin having lost his parents very young, he became very fondly attached to Tan Wan. But these two had a gap in age and Lin Xin had vowed not to use magic for attacks. Though Tan Wan repeatedly tried to convince him, he still remained unwavering in his oath. Chapter 554 - Hell’s Descent (II)

Chapter 554: Hells Descent (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # Afterwards, Lin Xins grandfather was transferred to Holy City. Originally, Lin Xin wasnt nning to follow his grandfather there, but the engagement between Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan left him greatly wounded, and after leaving her a letter, he followed his grandfather to Holy City. Then they didnt have any contact for a very long time. In that letter, Lin Xin told her about his feelings, which could be said to be for the sake of unburdening himself. After reaching Holy City, he devoted his effort to the research of magic medicine, and gradually let go of these feelings. Afterwards, he crossed paths with you and became a Demon Hunter. But what he didnt know was that after Tan Wan saw that letter, she also found out about her own inner feelings, that she was in love with Lin Xin too. For this reason, she asked Temple Head Li Zhengzhi to appear personally, for the sake of cancelling their scheduled wedding. But due to the excessive sensitivity of the matter, Temple Head Li had her cultivate in seclusion. First, it was for the sake of her cultivation, and then to avoid exposing her to the heart of the struggle of public opinion. After Tan Wans secluded cultivation terminated and when she came to look for Lin Xin, he had already be a Demon Hunter, and went to run missions alongside you lot. Thats how the matter ended. And when they met again in the Tombal Mountain Pass, Lin Xin had already be a couple with me. Hearing Li Xins story, the three of them looked at each other, and Han Yu expressed very strangely, Its a matter of hate born from love. Li Xin had a bitter smile, It can be considered so. For that reason, I find Tan Wan extremely pitiful. No matter what it is about her, Lin Xin and I have been as forebearing as possible. It turned out that after we returned to the Tombal Mountain Pass, everyone learned about that misunderstanding. After all, Lin Xin and I had been thinking that she was already married to Xuanyuan Yan at the time we were dating. This matter is a freakbination of factors where no one can be med. At the start, Tan Wan still held a good attitude toward us, but after Lin Xin decided to train in offensive magic for my sake, Tan Wans attitude changed drastically, taking it out on him whenever possible. And furthermore, she seems to believe that the fact that she couldnt end up together with Lin Xin was rted to Demon Hunt Squads. You are all members of Lin Xins team, so her previous attitude should be for that reason. Han Yu let out a bitter smile, So we were innocently caught in such a cmity. Long Haochen reacted, The response Tan Wans feelings received makes her quite pitiful. I hope that in the future there could be a chance to resolve this matter. Li Xin replied, I fear that it will be very hard. Her rancor is deep, unless I go away. But Lin Xin has already paid such a cost for me, I am already... Reaching this point, the valiant and formidable-looking female knight couldnt help but blush. After having been through so much, she came to love Lin Xin dearly. How could she not be moved by the act of a man who abandonned something he has dedicated so many years of his life to, only for the sake of one girl. Right at this time, a sharp cry rang out from within the mountain pass. The atmosphere in its entire range instantly tensed up. Li Xins expression changed, The demons are attacking. I will be returning to assist Lin Xin. Haochen, you can return to rest in the Temple first. Long Haochen replied, Resisting the demons is everyones duty. Lets go, we just have to go back up. I believe that Tan Wan should be adhering strictly to her job this time, and wont manage us. While saying that, he took the initiative of going up the fortress. Calmly reacting, for the sake of his honor as Saint Knight Head he didnt renounce resisting the demons. This attitude could only receive Li Xins secret praises, finding her little brother even more mature than in the past. When everyone was back on the fortress, strong elemental fluctuations were immediately felt. These elemental waves were notunched by the mages, but originating from the Tombal Mountain Pass. Long Haochen clearly looked at the fortress ground, to see round magic arrays every fifty meters, all colored a milky-white. Soft magical waves spread thin white halos that covered every angle of the fortress. Long Haochen sensed that these magic arrays had a gathering effect; while stepping on the magic arrays, the speed of absorption of magic essence was at least ten percent higher. And these magic arrays seemed to apply to every elemental used. From afar, one could see ck clouds densely cover the skies. Afar off, the eight demon god pirs emitted some strong breath of darkness. The demon armies were not fast at all, one could only seeyer uponyer of darkness essence bubble forth from the demon armies ranks, poured into the ck clouds on the sky. The core of the ck clouds was the Hell demon god pir. This was abinatorial attack of the Hell Demons: despite the still-far distance, it already held a powerful oppressive force from the fortress view. The air outside the Tombal Mountain Pass started to show rippling waves, a signature of the deployed defensive formation. It was because of Caiers Sickle of the God of Death that Caier had managed to break through, only tearing a very small crack, letting them enter the formation for a sh. But this kind ofrge scale sh was another story. Thanks to the formations blockade, not the slightest darkness essence spilled inside the Tombal Mountain Pass. On the fortress,rge amounts of radiant magic essence lit up, mostly gathering the water, fire, earth, wind and light attributes. The Tombal Mountain Pass ten squads were responding. Five of them were defending the fortress, standing beside warriors who were resisting for their sake, filling the whole fortress. Long Haochens crew rapidly joined Lin Xins side, seeing Lin Xinmand these mages to start chanting at this time. They were chanting for a spell of the fifth tier specialized intopressing spiritual energy. As the demons were still far, they hadnt reached the optimum range of their magic yet. A mages magic had limitations of distance, requiring a certain distance to unleash its full might. The stronger a mage was, the greater this distance would grow. Long Haochen found out that all the mages in this team were standing in a group of six, forming a Star of David. As they were incanting, the staves in their hand gathered essence of the same element in between them, rapidly condensing spiritual energy. Combinatorial magic. With Long Haochens elemental sensitivity, he could sense that thisbinatorial magic was not only for strengthening their magic, but also to increase their attack range. This was surely a specialized research made by the Mage Temple. Surely, they deserved being known as a powerful Templeparable with the Knight Temple. Lin Xin didnt participate in these magic arrays. Seeing Long Haochens groupe back to his side, he immediately became overjoyed. Boss. Lin Xin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Haochen, Lets meet the enemy with all we have for now. We will be in yourmand. Alright. After experiencing these two years tempering, Lin Xin was far different from before, and visibly became a lot less dependant on Long Haochen. The demon armies advanced at slow speed, but felt tougher than boulders. Every time they went forward, their troops gained in steadiness. The ck airflow gradually enveloped the demon armies, and from the fortress, one became gradually unable to discern their looks. The magic waves in the Tombal Mountain Pass also grew in brilliance, just like an extremely powerful magical beast of ancient times ready to spurt its greatest attack at anytime. The oppressive force of both parties was extremely terrifying. Be it humans or demons, all were reaching the critical points when both parties attacks would meet up. By looking from high above, one could see that the two sides werepletely different in color. The demon side was ck colored with a tint of purple, and the Tombal Mountain Pass glinted in myriads of colors. Upon seeing that massive providence, even a powerhouse of the ninth step would feel insignificant. Lin Xin stood beside Long Haochen, speaking in a low voice, The first sh will be the most violent. The two sides will strike with all their power, but this wont cause casualties. But neither of us will dare be negligent, putting out our full power, otherwise, if the enemy takes the advantage, it will result inplete suppression. After the first sh is over, the demons will start besieging. That will be the real start of the battle. My Heart of Fire is rather special, unable to unite with their power. The time the enemy besieges will be when I will start to attack. Long Haochen asked, If I use supportive magic, will it affect theirbinatorial spell? Lin Xin pondered slightly, Lets try to see after the demons start besieging. I am worried that needless fluctuations may affect the process. And furthermore, the power of my brothers is enough to withstand the demon attack without issue. Lin Xins prudence made sense. Although he had full confidence in Long Haochen, he preferred avoiding needless risks. After the start of the Holy War, the Tombal Mountain Pass was used to facing the demon offenses, which was to say that even without an intervention from Long Haochen, they would still resist the enemys attacks without issue. Since that was the case, why let Long Haochen take risks? If it produced the opposite reaction, wouldnt it just destroy his boss reputation? Long Haochen nodded calmly. Hed never been matched with so many mages, especially when they were in states of usingbinatorial magic. So he didnt have an absolute confidence, and from Lin Xins wording, he was able to gather that the members of the Mage Temple had ample confidence. Since things were that way, why would he take empty risks? The strong elemental waves were growing in fierceness, and the distant demon army suddenly elerated without prior indication. In the sky, the violent purplish ck radiance violently burst forth, gradually taking the shape of a fierce devils portrait. What? Something is amiss! Lin Xins expression changed. Having crossed hands with the demons many times, he knew that this demon offense was quite earlypared to usual. Right at this time, that immense devil portrait slowly looked up. From its mouth, a purplish ck beam was shot out, and immediately, seven beams of different colors shot forth. Chapter 555 - Hell’s Descent (III)

Chapter 555: Hells Descent (III)

Gloomy and cold chants were distinctly heard even from the Tombal Mountain Pass as the eight demon god pirs gathered altogether. That devil portrait seemed to be even more concentrated, as if awaking as a real Fiend Demon, ready to throw himself at the fortress. A forbidden spell! The eight great demon gods were joining hands to prepare this forbidden spell. As that skull was flying forward, the previous ck clouds turned into its tail, and fused with it in the process of their rapid flight. Forbidden spell! Lin Xin eximed. With great emotions, he immediately issued the order, Gather your attacks! We cannot let that thing approach! The demons had suddenly changed stance, visibly catching the Tombal Mountain unprepared. And it would appear that this change of stance was initiated by Marbasmand to use the power of the other seven demon gods alongside the entirety of the mages attacks. The instant that fierce skull appeared in the battlefield, the overwhelming majority of the mages in the Tombal Mountain Pass fortress felt as if their blood froze. Even the seal defending the Tombal Mountain Pass didnt give them any sense of security. This was all just too sudden. Completing this spell from the eight demon gods took a very short time. The Tombal Mountain Pass was already out of time to counter that abrupt burst of power. Themanders of the mage squads on the fortress were all veterans. Like Lin Xin, they all immediately made a response. From the fortress, a great amount of magic radiances burst out, gathering like a torrential rain to face that terrifying forbidden spell. Han Yu, assist me. Long Haochen called out in a low voice, to the nearby Han Yu, and directly sat in meditation. A meticulous and low chant came out from him, carrying a bizarre tempo and reverberating in a small area. As his cultivation increased, Long Haochens capacity for judgement also grew. The instant that devil skull appeared, he already determined that the Tombal Mountain Pass could surely not contend against it. Of course, he couldnt either. But he had to give his best shot, even if he could only gain a little time, he had to do his best to give the Tombal Mountain Pass some time to handle the fatal attack. Han Yu sat in meditation behind Long Haochen, both hands pressed onto his back. With the retainer pact binding him to Haochen, transmission of spiritual energy became a lot easier. Even without the use of Lin Xins Cojoined Spiritual Pills, it had the same efficiency. In the meantime, he also put to use his Spiritual Stove of Light Blessing, which was the true reason for Long Haochen to have asked for his assistance. The orange brillianceing out from the Golden Foundation Mountain Pass grew higher in power, and pure light essence was gathering toward Long Haochens direction at an astonishing speed. Actually, what Long Haochen didnt know was that the eight demon gods sudden outburst and full-force, all-out-attack was closely rted to him. In the past days, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass Demon God of Death Saminaga had to seclude himself due to serious wounds, his demon army utterly defeated. And Sytrys demon army also received severe damage. Two great forts in a row encountered severe issues. Upon receiving the report, the Demon God Emperors first reaction was tounch a counterattack against the humans. Although he didnt think humans had the ability to retaliate, what happened was a matter of fact. The Demon God Emperors goal may only be to weaken the human forces, but he definitely wasnt a pacifistic practitioner of buddhism. Seeing the sudden surge of counteroffensives from the Temple Alliance, he immediately gave this order to the other four great forts, to pressure the Temple Alliance to the greatest possible extent, and erase all their ideas of counterattacking. At the time Long Haochens group arrived, the Hell demon god Marbas just received this order, and after preparing for two days time, the eight great demon gods relied on their demon god pirs to store the forbidden spell and therebyunch the attack. The stored forbidden spell could be transferred at anytime, without need for a lengthy incantation. But this would greatly use up the spiritual energy stored inside the demon god pirs, which is why the demon gods ordinarily wont use it easily. It was to inflict serious damage to the Tombal Mountain Pass that Marbas decided tounch such an attack. And the suddenness of the matter really caught the Tombal Mountain Pass unprepared. The wind control mage team was the first tounch its offense. The wind mages were the fastest, be it their incantations or their offenses speed. In midair, strident sounds that reminded Long Haochens crew of the experience they had in the Deste Hissing Cavern and an immense green spear met straight with that devils portrait. Hundreds of green lights hit that terrifying ck forbidden spell extending over more than a hundred meters in diameter. At the time it approached, the devils portrait had a distorted look, and arge quantity of tornadoes were distorted and routed, so only a little part managed to hit the main body of the forbidden spell, but only slowed down its advance a bit at most. The second burst was the earth mages. In the sky, boulders and rocks the size of millstones suddenly appeared bunched together, flooding the pitch ck forbidden spell with their powers. Theres no need to mention that earth elemental magic is far more useful than wind elemental magic in such circumstances. Although a part was expelled, the overwhelming majoritynded onto that forbidden spell, causing its speed to once again slow down. But if one paid careful attention, hed find out that at the time the rock smashed that devil portrait, it was rapidly dissolved and disappeared. It only managed to slow down the speed of this forbidden spells attack, but didnt manage to weaken its power. After earth came water, or more urately speaking, ice. A series of blue colored brilliant rays interweaved, condensing into one, it turned into an ice ball evenrger than that devils portrait, and smashed onto it. The sh was of short duration, and didnt let out any explosion. From the Tombal Mountain Passs point of view, that immense iceball melted from its core at an astonishing speed, turning into countless pitch-ck raindrops that fell out loudly onto the ground. Atst came fire. The mages under Lin Xinsmand, grouped in units of six, formed ten immense Bursting Fireballs amplified by the magic formation of the fortress, meeting the skull in the shape of a rain of meteors. Ice and fire were two opposite elements whichpleted each other miraculously well. A burning hoting after a freezing cold could greatly prate the enemy spells inner defense. But this seemed to be a failure. The Bursting Fireballs seemed to lose efficiency as they soared through that ck forbidden spell, manifesting the frantic aspect of the fire element. But that ck skull still managed to bear the damage, and after sustaining the four elemental attacks, it only lost a fifth of its volume. In other words, the joint act of two thousand mages only managed to dispel a fifth of its offensive power. The consequences of the descent of such a terrifying forbidden spell were hard to imagine. The Hell Demon Marbas coldly gazed into the distant Tombal Mountain Pass, as the smoky tail acquired by the devils portrait finished bing fully one with it. I want to see how you will resist this magic of mine! Hells Descent forbidden spell! Saminaga has actually been wounded by the humans attacks, and is still heavily wounded from what I heard, even his domain having nearly ended up destroyed. Alright, let me take revenge?for him?! Marbas and Saminaga were in an extremely good rtionship, as the Fiend n and Hell Demon n are originally on very close terms. Added up together, they could roughly match the rather fewer Moon Demons and Star Demons, making ample proof of their powerful strength. At the very moment, this supra forbidden spell they were using was his exclusive Hells Descent, drawing support from the other seven great demon gods and his nsmen to unleash its greatest might. Even as the one unleashing it, he was unable to evaluate its degree of might. He didnt even think of prolonging the offense afterunching that attack. As long as the frontal walls were destroyed, how could the Tombal Mountain Pass that has lost its natural defenses resist them for long? The destruction of the Mage Temple will surely be the most terrible blow ever sustained by the Temple Alliance. Bang!?Right at this time, Hell Descent fiercely struck the seal protecting the Tombal Mountain Pass. After sustaining four magic bombardments, Hells Descent only lost a bit of its power, and the instant it struck the seal, the whole mountain trembled, and distorted lights frantically bubbled forth. The sealpletely unleashed its might. White halos condensed from all directions, wanting to stop Hell Descent while attempting to dispel it. But the demons portrait born from Hells Descent became even more fierce this time as it struggled to break out. One could see that at the time of its contact with the center of the seal, holes were gradually forming. But from the look of it, its breakthrough was only a matter of time. Right at this time, several dozen brilliant golden light beams were shot from the other side, aiming right at the holes pierced in Hells Descent. At the sight of this scene, Lin Xin couldnt help but tremble slightly. Looking at the direction of the golden light, despite loathing Xuanyuan Yan, he had no choice but to admit that he directed the light elemental magic squad under hismand well. He had been enduring silently until then, waiting right for this chance. Light and darkness were originally opposite elements: if he had shifted theunch earlier, it would undoubtedly have ended the same as with the other mage squads, only neutralizing a part of the attack. But the instant Hells Descent collided against the seal, the holes that were produced led to its core. Initiating an attack there would inflict unavoidable damage to the forbidden spell, and made full use of the light attribute countering it. This attack on its core reduced Hells Descents might to the greatest extent. As expected, under the attack from that golden light, one could see clearly that Hells Descent shrank to a great extent, weakened globally by the five hundred light mages joint attacks. Chapter 556 - Wind God (I)

Chapter 556: Wind God (I)

The staff on Xuanyuan Yans hand was pointed forward. Seeing the power of Hells Descent being brought down, he couldnt help but loosen up. The attack was effective! The light mages on his back didnt need his order to expel their spiritual energy in full force, hoping to stop it outside the formation. Their attack looked like a great sess, seeing Hells Descent shrink at an astonishing speed, but the distant Hell Demon God Marbas had a strange smile on his face. If the joint attacks of eight great demon gods could be stopped so easily, they wouldnt deserve that appetion. It looked like Hells Descents volume had shrunk due to the holy lights attack and the seals blockade, as it shrank to a tenth of its original volume. At that very moment, Xuanyuan Yan couldnt help but deliberately nce at Lin Xins direction. But right at this time, the surroundings suddenly calmed down, as if all sounds were instantly suppressed. Xuanyuan Yan subconsciously turned his head back, finding out with rm that the extremely shrunken Hells Descent hade to a standstill andrge cks were extending all around it, spreading out at a frightening speed, as it extended all around the formation. The next instant,?Baaang. A torrential explosion resounded with iparable ferocity. The devils portrait once again returned to its original size, instantly reducing to pieces the seal on the Tombal Mountain Pass. Xuanyuan Yan and the five hundred light mages on his back groaned at the same time, spitting outrge amounts of blood. Hells Descent had shrunk only to break out even more powerfully. This forbidden spell reached such a degree of terror that it already possessed its own intelligence. Xuanyuan Yans attack was actually still effective, as the Hells Descent that had drastically erged was still quite smaller. But at this time, who could bear its offense? Having lost the defense of their seal, the Tombal Mountain Pass inhabitants all felt stuck in a quagmire, swept away at a frightening speed by the iing darkness essence. At this time, a green wind broke out once again. Compared to the wind mages squad, this time its green color looked a lot more pure, swept from all directions to form a gigantic earth shattering tornado. Shrouding the Hells Descent, it entangled all around it, attempting to blow it to a high altitude and rely on the winds force to consume its might. The Raging Wind Legionmanded by Tan Wan finally made its move. If the forts defenses were so easy to break through, theres no way it could have held against all the attacks it sustained since the start of the Holy War. The Raging Wind Legions move was even more powerful than the previous five squads powers added together. Composed entirely of wind mages reaching at least the seventh step, who joined hands to form thisbinatorial spell, this tornados power already reached the forbidden spell level. They had obviously been teamed together for a very long time, otherwise they couldnt have possibly released such an all out spell of the seventh step in such a short time. Engulfed by the tornado, Hells Descent once again shrank, trying to lessen as far as possible its time of contact with the tornado. Looking as stable as a boulder, it remained motionless even under the offense of such a blowing tornado. The confrontation between the two sides was already at its climax, when the demons attacked suddenly. The Tombal Mountain Pass already had dispatched units to ask for their strongest magic regiments as well as the higher-ups of the Mage Temple, but they needed time to prepare their spells. As long as the mages on the fortress could keep up for some time, the demons surprise attack would end up without any achievement. Eight ck glitters appeared suddenly, tracing long arcs. They belonged to the eight demon god pirs, and rushed into the tornado at a frightening speed, striking Hells Descent. With a mournful yell, Hells Descent instantly split the tornado revolving around it, and kept advancing toward the Tombal Fort. Even if the eight demon gods stopped stepping in, the Storm Corps could actually only block the Hells Descent only for a short time. But Marbas knew well that he couldnt let them keep dragging time out. If the mage regiments of the Mage Temple took advantage of the opportunity, even if the attack from Hells Descent finally manages to make it to the Tombal Mountain Pass, the destructive damage would still greatly lower. All the mages in the fortress had looks of shock. The whole fortress was covered in ck drizzle. Everyone knew that the Tombal Mountain Pass walls would inevitably fall. And they would all be burial goods apanying the mountain pass to its grave. From theunch of the forbidden spell to its arrival on the Tombal Mountain Pass, this slow-sounding process had actuallysted for only ten or so minutes. Everyone was already fearing for their lives. A golden light suddenly red up without omen, as ifing as suddenly as dawn. Upon meticulous observation, that golden light was actually multicolored, and under its golden brilliance, a figure had elevated itself onto the sky, floating in midair right outside the fortress, and standing in Hells Descents way. A golden Star of David was formed at his back, as he rode a Starlight Unicorn giving off a divine feel. Wearing a golden mask, and a golden armor, and letting out a light aura of extreme purity alongside his Starlight Unicorn, he brought the Tombal Mountain Pass not only light, but hope. The multicolored golden light surrounding his body was rising up, and golden halos rose up all around the Starlight Unicorn King, crossing paths with the multicolored light. The knight riding the Starlight Unicorn made a praying gesture, as a clear incantation came out from his mouth. The multicolored radiance on his back condensed into a huge illusory female shape, also sitting in a praying posture. Speaking of strange, that brilliant Hells Descent forbidden spell suddenly came to a standstill upon arriving in front of him. In front of its terrible threat, this knight d in golden armor seemed like a drop in the ocean. But even so, he unexpectedly caused Hells Descent toe to a stop, making it unable to keep advancing despite being almost within reach of its target. All the mages in the Tombal Mountain Pass were stupefied at this instant. They could obviously recognize this golden armor to be a Golden Foundation Knights attire! However, the overwhelming majority of these people had no idea when a knight hade here, moreover helping them block this iparably terrifying threat. Could a knight of the eighth step really resist a supra forbidden spell born from the joint hands of eight great demon gods as well as all the Hell Demons? Even a Divine Knight would not necessarily manage to aplish that. Right, Long Haochen was of course unable to aplish such a feat. Even if he had already reached the ninth step, his full strength couldnt possibly stop such a forbidden spells might. Even if this forbidden spell was already weakened by the mages. He wasnt trying to stop it, but to restrict it, using a kind of special spell simr to the Star Demon God Vassagos Great Prophecy. The pure light essence didnt have the slightest chance of causing Hells Descent to weaken any. But at least until his spiritual energy ends up nearly exhausted, this forbidden spell wont be able to keep moving forward in the slightest. Light Prayers. This magic already exceeded the scope of the light element, and could be said to be a spell of sacred light, even if the expertise in using sacred light spells was of the Priest Temple, and not the knights. This spell was alsoing from the cave. In there, Long Haochen learnt mostly Guardian Knight abilities, while Light Prayers was carved in its greatest depths. This magic of sacred light was very hard to categorize. Depending on the enemy one faced, its uses would actually differ greatly. It was used as a prayer for safety. The ancestor that left this spell in the Knight Temple exined it this way,?Light Prayers is the gods will, as well as the gods forbidden fruit. A humans force could never possibly truly control this ability, but at some cost, it can be used to earn time. Conduct prayers with ones most sincere attitude and with ones purest heart one would make Light Prayers the most powerful. This magic of sacred light originated from high level fairies, therefore even the Priest Temple was unable to use it. After countless thousands of years passed, this miraculous sacred light magic finally reappeared,unched from Long Haochens hand. Since the instant Hells Descent appeared, Long Haochens great mental force gave him a great feeling of unease. In the meantime, hed been reciting Light Prayers chant in his mind. This was an instinctual, instant decision. Long Haochen did not hesitate to follow his feeling and therefore immediately asked for Han Yus aid as he chanted this spell. As a matter of fact, his choice was urate. No one else besides him was more of a fit to use this sacred light magic. Compared to his use of Sacred Light Rain, Long Haochen had a much lower consumption. In fact the whole sacred spell could be described as the establishment of the flow of a canal. It could be maintained as long as the incantation waspleted. Han Yus spiritual energy was fully poured inside Long Haochen, and his spiritual stove of Light Blessing gave him a formidable recovery alongside the support of the Golden Foundation Armor. At the time Long Haochen hadpleted this spell, a good part of his spiritual energy was left. Right, who else other than the Scion of Light was more qualified to put to use a sacred light magic? Light Prayers was activated through the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, which is why that multi-colored golden light came to view. Long Haochen could deeply feel the might Hells Descent had as a supra forbidden spell, and understood that with his own strength, even the full use of Light Prayers had no way to stop it, which is why he borrowed the Divine Snail Shields force. Through itsst activation as a divine tool, Long Haochen felt that his level of ord with the Divine Snail Shield had grown even higher, which enabled him to grasp some of the secret in the activation of its power as a divine tool. With his current cultivation, a forbidden spell levelled stimtion was necessary to trigger the Divine Snail Shields force. And as a matter of fact, he seeded once again. Chapter 557 - Wind God (II)

Chapter 557: Wind God (II)

Light Prayers sealed Hells Descent just like that. A tiny golden light was locking that terrifying darkness in midair. Xuanyuan Yan became nk, and Tan Wan too. They obviously were aware of the identity of the one who stopped the demons attack. A little earlier, they had told him to scram from the fortress: a little earlier, Tan Wan even issued a challenge against him. At that very moment, Tan Wans emotions became indescribable, but mostly full of shock. Close to three thousand mages didnt manage to stop this terrifying forbidden spell, yet that person managed it all alone. Tan Wan believed that Long Haochen surely was using cheap tricks, and that the situation wontst long. But the courage to stand in front of such a supra forbidden spell was already something no ordinary person could show. Feelings of shame appeared in both Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan. They were trying to put themselves in his stead,?Did I really dare challenge such a person??Tan Wans shock was the greatest, because she had personally seen the appearance of this Golden Foundation Knight, the extreme youth of this Provisional Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple. Tan Wan remembered firmly the time she rushed to her teacher, to ask him:?Is he really as young as he looks? Li Zhengzhi only looked down in acknowledgement, shocking Tan Wan to no limits at that time. A knight looking even younger than herself has actually already reached the eighth step! And hes the captain of Lin Xins Demon Hunt Squad, and moreover, the Provisional Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple. Could there really be such arge gap separating him and herself? Now, Long Haochen was using his own strength to prove to Tan Wan the gap between the two of them. Keepunching attacks, what are you all waiting for!? Lin Xins voice was amplified by his spiritual energy, epassing the whole Tombal Mountain Pass. The mages awakened from his call, and resonating chants were performed all across the fortress. Two figures simultaneously flew above the Tombal Mountain Pass, heading straight to Long Haochens side. They stopped to Haochens left and right. It was a strange thing that due to Light Prayers confinement, even the aura of Hells Descent was suppressed, liberating all the mages on the fortress from its influence. The two that flew out were Caier and Lin Xin. The Sickle of the God of Death was already in Caiers hand as she was covered in a bizarre greyyer of mist. Her body was devoid of killing intent, but she stared coldly at the Hells Descent opposite Long Haochen. In case Long Haochens Light Prayers couldnt be kept going, she would rece him to face off against that powerful darkness elemental forbidden spell. Lin Xin was standing on the other side,pletely different from Caiers state of power storing. He came to a stop right after arriving near Long Haochen, andunched a fire elemental attack, with even more splendid execution than in a textbook, towards the pitch-ck forbidden spell. The fire crystal staff was pointed forward, and an immense Bursting Fireball bombarded the Hells Descent straight on. Lin Xin remmbered firmly that Long Haochen had told him one thing at the time before he elevated himself high to resist the forbidden spell,?Attack! With the tacit understanding between Lin Xin and Long Haochen, Lin Xin immediately understood his intention at the time he confined the enemys attack. Long Haochen could only resist and not annihte the attack. But he could gain some time for the Tombal Mountain Pass, within which they would have to do their utmost to weaken or extinguish Hells Descents power. Right after the first blue colored Bursting Fireball was fired, a second one appeared in Lin Xins hands. The instant cast of the offensive spell of the fifth step Bursting Fireball could be due to storage in a magic tool, but how about the second, and third one? This instant, the Fire Crystal Staff in Lin Xins hand entered a quick-fire mode, shooting immense deep-blue colored fireballs one after another toward Hells Descent. Each fireball thatnded produced a huge explosion and carried blue mes along. Although the results werent distinct, any sighted person could tell that Lin Xins series of attacks produced some sunken areas in the ces that were hit. In other words, his attacks were effective, but dont forget that hes only one person attacking by himself. The destructive power of the Heart of Fires mes could thereby be seen. The instant Lin Xin was done firing his eighteenth Bursting Fireball, an immense blue skull appeared above his Fire Crystal Staff, forming his neenth sessive attack. After just a split second of adjustment, dragon shaped blue mes spread from Lin Xins back. This was the piece of legendary equipment called Fire Dragons Wings. Increasing spiritual gathering and speed by a hundred percent, it carried the additional ability Fire Dragons Defense. The current Lin Xin did not need it for defense but for an eleration of his spiritual energy gathering. As the Fire Curse Technique was executed, he unfolded the Fire Dragons Wings, and once again shot Bursting Fireballs, another series of eighteen of them. From the start of his act to the termination of his thirty-sixth Bursting Fireball, a total of less than a minute had passed. At this very moment, Lin Xin was making a disy far above his own level. This offensive power and offensive speed would not necessarily be matched by a mage of the eighth step. And moreover, this was without counting the power of Heart of Fire! Most of all his Rupturing Fireballs were all bombarding the same area. At the end of his thirty six Bursting Fireballs, a resonant phoenix cry was heard above Lin Xin, and a massive Blue Fire Phoenix soared up, shing straight against that devils portrait with its brilliant blue fire. That violent bombardment produced a series of violent waves against the devil portrait. Only then did Lin Xins series of attacks terminate. The most magnificent spells arent necessarily the most effective, but the focus of Lin Xins attacks clearly gave the ideal efficiency. Atst, as the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stoveunched its attack, he threw some pills into his own mouth. Dont forget that hes also an alchemist, making his ability tost in the battlefield and his burst power go far beyond mages of the same grade. Lin Xin was naturally not the only oneunching attacks. In the desperate crisis, all the mages in the fortress put their strongest magic abilities to use. They were attacking from all sides, controlling their power and even making it coil around to reach out for Hells Descents back to avoid wounding Long Haochens group of three. The stronger mages flew to Long Haochens side like Lin Xin, tounch a full force magic offense at close quarters. Afar, the Hell demon god Marbas was standing dumbstruck, not daring to believe in his eyes. The instant Light Prayers wasunched, he found out that the connection binding Hells Descent to him was severed. Even for someone at the same level of cultivation as him, facing this powerful supra forbidden spell wasparable to meeting with a full force attack of the Demon God Emperor. He couldnt believe that the Mage Temple actually had the the ability to seal this supra forbidden spell in such a short time. He also knew that this seal couldnt possiblyst for too long, but the Mage Temples mages were extremely fast to react, attacking it with full force. In such a situation, after the seal ends, one could hardly say how much offensive power Hells Descent would still hold. As the fifth demon god in the ranking, one of the top five demon gods in existence, Marbas naturally had quick wits as well. Waving his right hand toward the Tombal Mountain Pass, he made a low and vigorous shout, Attack! The Hell Demons were the core of the demon armies standing outside, but not the absolute majority of their forces. Following Marbas order, the demon armies immediately charged towards the Tombal Mountain Pass inrge tides. The power of Hells Descent was warded off, but the mages present in the Tombal Mountain Pass were all upied. In the meantime, Long Haochen found himself close to his limits. Although Light Prayers was mostly borrowing divine force to perform the seal, it also required a massive amount of spiritual energy to be maintained. Long Haochen could amplify its efficiency through the Divine Snail Shield, but the consumption speed of his spiritual energy was still massive. Right now, the multicolored golden lighting out from him clearly assumed an unstable stance, and could already copse at anytime. Caier was holding the Scythe of the God of Death in her two hands, unconsciously gripping it tightly. In case Long Haochens Light Prayers terminates, they will be the ones bearing the brunt and be the targets of this forbidden spell. Caier knew that at that time she would have to fight to earn Long Haochen some time, to allow him to have the time to transport Lin Xin and himself to the Tower of Eternity. Right in this crucial juncture, six light balls were suddenly shot out from the Tombal Mountain Pass. These six light balls all reached about ten meters diameter, forming arge whole. After its rapid descent, red, blue, green, yellow, gold and ck colored brilliances red from it, and formed the shape of a Star of David in the sky as they interwove,nding right inside Hells Descent. A six-colored cover then rose, greatly weakening the supra forbidden spell. The golden light vanished, and Long Haochen let out a stuffy groan, terminating Light Prayers. Star King then helped Haochen stabilize his posture by the use of his own spiritual energy to avoid him falling down. Due to the loss of Light Prayers seal, Hells Descent forbidden spell power suddenly struggled to break free from that six-colored barrier, as the entity in question trembled violently. At the current time, the situation inside those six light balls was clearly visible: each one contained six mages, making a total of thirty-six people. Each ball was under the lead of a mage. This was a powerful seal that they joined hands to unleash. If the Hells Descent forbidden spell was at its peak, they may not necessarily have managed to seal it, but after thest series of depletions, these six Mage Deities of the ninth step and thirty Saint Magic Tutors of the eighth step joined hands to temporarily seal the forbidden spell. Chapter 558 - Wind God (III)

Chapter 558: Wind God (III)

The Magic Tutor Regiment had finally reached out andpleted their spell, taking over Long Haochens duty. In the meantime, an immense green radiance soared from inside the Tombal Mountain Pass, reaching a high altitude before slowly falling. Seeing the green figure extending over more than a hundred meters, the weakened Long Haochen was in great shock. That green figure looked human-shaped, and was actually an erged version of the head of the Mage Temple, wind elemental mage Li Zhengzhi. Right now, Li Zhengzhi looked extremely imposing despite his short and stout build. d in green armor, his hands were holding a huge warde. Green light curled over his whole body, and bursting gales kept rising around his body. At every attack, the green lighting out from his body also gained in intensity. Actually, Li Zhengzhi reached the area far before Long Haochens performance. Even at his level of cultivation, the supra forbidden spell Hells Descent was an extremely thorny issue. After arriving, he still needed time; it was obviously impossible for him to fully use his most powerful ability instantly. Right as he was prepared toe up, Long Haochen had made this sudden disy in the battlefield, sealing Hells Descent. Although this wasnt sufficient to totally turn the situation around, it was exactly what Li Zhengzhi needed, giving him just enough time. Seeing Long Haochen close to his limits, the finally prepared Li Zhengzhi made his move alongside the mage regiment. The huge green figure drifted nimbly, arriving ahead of the multi-elemental seal. Hacking the long de, it immediately struck at the terrifying ck Gods Descent forbidden spell. A bizarre scene followed. One could see that the instant the de was chopped, all the wind in the sky had disappeared. The next instant, part of Hells Descent was cut into thin pieces of pitch ck spiritual energy. Even more miraculously, the ck Hells Descent was enveloped in a greenish-blue splendor. Li Zhengzhi was using the incarnation of the Wind God to shoot these ck rays back to the distant demons, right at the demon armys vanguard. First broke out a terrible hurricane cutting everything in its way, then Hells Descents power was unleashed. One could clearly see that for a range of a thousand meters in and around those thin ck pieces, the ground subsided ten meters. Even if they were of darkness attributes, all the demons in this range were dissolved thoroughly. Li Zhengzhis performance had only begun. Extending the de in his hand, he cut sharply through Hells Descent before projecting the sliced parts onto the demon army. Only a few shes had already suppressedpletely the demon armys vanguard. This was the disy of a true powerhouse. At the sight of this scene, Long Haochen couldnt help but have a dazzled and stunned feeling. He was totally unable to see how Li Zhengzhi aplished that. Despite being a mage, he descended like a deity and was fully showing his martial prowess. The mere word powerful was already insufficient to describe this ability. Almost as soon as he appeared, the whole situation was turned around, turning defeat into victory. He even used the supra forbidden spell Hells Descent to his advantage, truly deserving the appetion of number one powerhouse among the Six Great Temples. The Magic Tutor Regiments were not onlyposed of those thirty-six. Several dozen more peoplended onto the fortress one after another, as the mage squads rested, reorganized, and recovered spiritual energy for the sake of being ready to continue the battle at anytime. At this point, the demon surprise attack was already neutralized, and Li Zhengzhis series of attacks already got rid of close to ten thousand demons. The Hell Demon God Marbas finally couldnt bear anymore and made his move. Despite their enormous previous losses, he couldnt keep looking on helplessly as Li Zhengzhi was ughtering his subordinates! The figures of the eight demon gods flickered, rising in altitude, and they put their full strength into stopping the pieces of Hells Descents spiritual energy thrown by Li Zhengzhi. For a moment, the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the sky expanded greatly, sttering across in many colors. Li Zhengzhi had turned into a Wind God, facing off the eight enemies by himself, and without being at a disadvantage at all. Although this was rted the eight great demon gods weakened state, aplishing this much showed the strength of this wind user. Long Haochens group was back at the Tombal Mountain Pass. While recovering spiritual energy, Long Haochens look never separated from Li Zhengzhi. Being able to witness the fight of a powerhouse of this level was really a great assistance to him. And by relying on his powerful mental force and great perception focused upon the waves of spiritual energy, Long Haochen gradually understood Li Zhengzhis true battle methods. This actually should be a magic using Li Zhengzhis body as its core. Being a gods chosen one, Long Haochen could feel that Li Zhengzhis spell was really borrowing power from the Wind God. Only, Long Haochens reliance on the power of the Goddess of Light was thanks to his identity as a gods chosen one, but Li Zhengzhis reliance on the power of the Wind God was thanks to his great strength and affinity to the wind element. Long Haochen made the conservative estimate that Li Zhengzhis internal spiritual energy was over 300,000, and he should have at least one divine tool in his hand. The battle didntst for much longer. The demon gods were all selfish beings, and perceiving Li Zhengzhis great power, Marbas was unwilling to have a fight to the death against him. While the eight great demon gods were holding back Li Zhengzhis attacks, the order of retreat was already transmitted. This rapid retreat immediately caused their morale to plummet. The supra forbidden spell Hells Descent continued to gradually decline due to being cut unceasingly by Li Zhengzhi, thereby decreasing the force going against the seal. Finally, Hells Descent went to smoke as it was squeezed inside the six-colored formation. That signaled the termination of this battle of attack and defense. Li Zhengzhi didnt keep chasing after the retreating demons. Holding his de horizontally, he looked into the distance as the demon gods drifted away, showing a smile towards the heavens. The Tombal Mountain Pass already became a sea of pleasure. This battle was certainly dangerous, but its final ending was certainly marvelous. The Tombal Mountain Pass didnt have a single deceased, but the enemy sustained heavy damage. At least for the time being, they wont dareunch another attack. At the time of the annihtion of Hells Descent, Long Haochen brought hisrades out of the fortress. Having aplished his duty, he went down. Staying any further would be meaningless, and besides, he didnt want to have to meet Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan. No matter how guilty, awkward, or persistently cold the counterpart would be, he was unwilling to have to face them. At the time of Long Haochens departure, the Wind God in the sky turned round slowly, giving a nce toward their departing figures, a thin smile forming on the corners of his mouth. Three dayster. Xiner, juste with us. Take it as a plea from me okay? Must I leave you here? Lin Xin was as anxious as an agitated cat, spinning around Li Xin in the room. Li Xin gave him a funny look, You! Will you ever fix thatck of resolution? Her words were formted that way, but her expression was full of warmth. We are all Demon Hunters. Just like you have your team, I also have my own. How could I abandon my teammates? Moreover, my strength is already unable to keep up with Haochen and you. Bying along, I can only be a burden for you. I have already discussed with Luc Xi, and we chose to remain in the Tombal Mountain Pass for now. This ce is by far safe enough. You are a man, and a part of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. We still have a long time before us. Or do you really want to stay behind for my sake? We are Demon Hunters, and since the day we took this path, our lives are already not only our own. Could it be that you really dont understand that? Lin Xin became silent. He had already been trying to convince Li Xin for close to one hour. After that battle from three days ago, the Tombal Mountain Pass situation was quite stable, and the demons had almost no possibility of breaking through this fort. In addition to that, due to the rtionship between the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple, Long Haochen and hisrades decided to keep heading southwards to assemble with their otherrades. Lin Xin naturally found things difficult to manage in this situation. As Li Xins and his emotions had escted, how could he be willing to part with her? Although he knew that Li Xin was right, he still found it hard to ept deep inside. Li Xin stood up, and came in front of Lin Xin, leaning towards him, and drawing close to his waist, Idiot, I should be the one worrying. Because you will keep bing stronger and stronger, you will also be facing more and more challenging missions. Promise me to live well. Havent you been always wanting to do?it? Today, I can give myself to you, hoping that you can gain more responsibility and defend yourself with good care. No matter how long it takes, I will be waiting for you. Hearing Li Xin, Lin Xin couldnt help but tremble profusely. If these were ordinary times, he would definitely be carried away by the excitement. But as they were on the verge of separating, how could he get up happily? No, Xiner. I want to marry you formally. I cannot let you feel wronged, especially at such a time. I love you, Xiner, and really cant bear to leave you! Lin Xin embraced Li Xin tightly, feeling her form and warmth, and bing unable to hold his tears. If one person within the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad had to be picked as the weakest emotionally, that would be him. Li Xin suddenly struggled free of Lin Xin, and dered very fiercely, What do you mean, you cant let me feel wronged? I should be the one who shouldnt let you feel wronged. Do you think nothing will happen just because you said no? Youre a mage, and thisdy is a knight. If you have a problem, use your magic to stop me. Under Lin Xins stupefied look, his body was pulled toward the bed by Li Xin. This was a battle between a knight of the sixth step and a mage of the seventh step. At such a close distance, and in a small room, one can well imagine who won the fight Chapter 559 - Challenge (I)

Chapter 559: Challenge (I)

Right as Lin Xin was forced into a great physical battle by Li Xin, Long Haochen was meeting two guests. Greetings, Saint Knight Head. At the time Long Haochen opened the door, the guests outside respectfully bowed to him. The two in question were Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan. Tan Wan looked the same as usual, and Xuanyuan Yan visibly felt quite awkward. Lowering his head, slightly, he didnt dare look straight at Long Haochen. Long Haochen looked at them in astonishment, The two of you are Tan Wan didnt have that pride and coldness she used to have the first time they met, asking with a smile, Can you let us inside to have a talk? Please. Long Haochen stepped aside from the entrance, letting the two inside. For now he was still d in his Golden Foundation Armor. For the sake of concealing his identity, even when cultivating by himself in the room, he wont easily take it off. But luckily, this armor was quitefortable and never made him feel unwell. Saint Knight Head, we came to apologize to you. We were in the wrong in the matter of that time. Also, we wanted to thank you for your assistance to the Tombal Mountain Pass. Sorry! As she spoke so, Tan Wan bowed very respectfully to Long Haochen. This was not a mage salute, but a sincere bow which could be considered exaggerated between two people of the same generation. Standing aside, Xuanyuan Yan also bowed to him, but his movement even looked a bit more imusible. After the battle of that day, Long Haochen was once again summoned by the Mage Temples head Li Zhengzhi. No one knew about the contents of their talk, but a short timeter, the Mage Temple made a public announcement about the heroic deeds of the Saint Knight Head known as Twelfth Golden Knight, and expressed the eternal deep feelings of friendship the Mage Temple would forever have towards him. Long Haochen showed a faint smile, The two of you dont need to act that way. You did nothing wrong. I just hope that in the short future, the rtionship between the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple may be improved. At that time I may need support from the two of you. Tan Wan didnt react to this, but seemingly shifted subjects, Saint Knight Head, from what I heard, your group is about to leave? Long Haochen nodded, The Tombal Mountain Pass is already invulnerable to attack. I need to see the other Temples. Tomorrow in the morning, I will be leaving. After pondering silently for a short time, she suddenly expressed, Saint Knight Head, I have a presumptuous request. Long Haochen was startled by the unexpected deration, I am listening. Tan Wan dered, I hope to challenge you one versus one, without use of any weapon, only relying on our own abilities. I know that I am by far unable topare against you, but I really want to know just how far the gap between the two of us is. At this point, she seemed to be afraid that Long Haochen could misunderstand, and continued, Ever since bing a mage, I have always put my whole efforts into cultivation, setting Teacher as a goal, in the hopes of one day bing a powerhouse such as Teacher, to fight for the Alliance, the humanity, and thoroughly annihte demonkind. I hope that you can be the second goal Id set for myself. I am merely asking for your guidance, and have no other intention. Long Haochen replied after pondering shortly, Understood. In that case, I will ask Captain Tan to look for a secluded area. And there cannot be any spectator. Okay. Tan Wan seemed to understand Long Haochens worries, and consented immediately. To one side, Xuanyuan Yan seemed to want to say something, but bore his words until the end. Long Haochen didnt inform Han Yu and Caier, and was led by Tan Wan to enter a wide door in the fourth floor of the Mage Temple. Tan Wan expressed to Xuanyuan Yan, Wait for me here. Xuanyuan Yan suddenly gave Long Haochen a pleading look, but Long Haochen apologetically said, Captain Xuanyuan wille to understand my troubles in the future. Captain Tan, please enter. Tan Wan pushed the door and entered alongside Long Haochen. This was a wide training space, circr, without spectators. It reached a total diameter of about fifty meters, which couldnt be considered a veryrge space from the point of view of a mage. This is an area for the Temple to conduct tests. With Xuanyuan guarding the door, no one shoulde to bother us. As she said that, Tan Wans staff disappeared from her hand in a movement, then she undid her outer gown, putting into her ring that magical gown that was releasing strong magical waves, and exposing the long green skirt inside. Today, she had challenge Long Haochen to find out the true gap between them. That day, the scene of Long Haochen making use of Light Prayers to block the Hells Descent shocked her truly greatly. With her good vision, she also could determine that Long Haochen had made use of a divine tool at that time. So Tan Wan remained in the end somewhat unconvinced.?Without the use of a divine tool or a piece of equipment of epic tier such as the Golden foundation Armor, could he really be much stronger than me??She really wanted to know the answer to that question, and went looking for Long Haochen in the end. She expressed her apologetic feelings as well, so as to not let these things affect her state of mind at the time of the battle. Long Haochen replied, Captain Tan, after we are doneparing notes this time, no matter who wins, I will have a request for you, and hope to have your help on this. Tan Wan looked distracted, What kind of request? Long Haochen showed a faint smile, Lets talk about it after our battle ends. Okay. Giving her reply, Tan Wan immediately headed towards one side of the training field. In a situation where both parties fight without their equipment, a knight is much more disadvantaged than a mage. Thats because a knight will not only be deprived of his equipment, but also his mount. This will greatly weaken him globally. And for a mage, not using his equipment only affects the matter of purity. But Tan Wan was unwilling to take advantage of Long Haochen so much, and therefore chose this training field that was only fifty meters wide. As an unfavorable terrain for a mage, the two parties could be said to have equivalent handicaps. In a sh of golden light, the Golden Foundation Armor was taken off. He didnt take out either of his own heavy swords, and drew back to reach the edge of the training field just like Tan Wan did. At the sight of Long Haochens handsome looks, Tan Wan couldnt help but lose spirits. Handsome guys werent so terrible in her eyes, as she had already not much interest in the emotional aspect anymore. The increase of her cultivation became her single-minded target. So her shock pertained only to Long Haochens age: even if it was her second time seeing it, the shock didnt shrink at all. Saint Knight Head, I aming. Tan Wan dered in seriousness. Please. A pair of green wings grew almost instantly on Tan Wans back, and immediately, her right hand pointed a finger toward Long Haochen. A dozen wind des were shot at his direction. Each of these wind des followed its own path. Some went straight, some traced an arc, and some even coiled around the side. All Long Haochens escape routes seemed to be blocked off. He ced both hands behind his back, and took two steps to the side, immediately swaying at a bizarre rythm. Pampampampam.?A series of spiritual energy collisions were heard and echoed unceasingly from the green brilliant rays. With both hands at his back, Long Haochen calmly walked out, not releasing the slightest surge of spiritual energy or counterattack from beginning to end. As the attacker, Tan Wans senses of the opponent were the clearest. Long Haochen was using a special footwork, appearing slow but moving fast. In the end, he always escaped the wind des attacks by a hairs breadth, and sometimes even neutralized them by voluntarily letting two wind des collide against each other. This process sounds simple, but required really good control of ones body as well as excellent prediction and speed, causing Tan Wan to gasp in amazement. This was the first time she was seeing someone actually avoid wind des in such a manner. Of course, as the Wind Masters only disciple, her attacks had only started. While Long Haochen was walking his way out of the wind des, Tan Wan kept chanting unceasingly, and balls of green light were shot from her fingertips, taking the shape of tornadoes on a small scale, reaching only one third of a meter in diameter, drifting toward Haochen.. There were a total of twelve small tornadoes. The whole training field let out bizarre whimpering sounds, flying in Long Haochens direction with different speeds, as the rich wind essence in the air also turned a lot more frantic. A one against one between a mage and a knight was absolutely not about using the most powerful spell, but the most fitting ones. The twelve tornadoes used by Tan Wan all looked the same, but were actually absolutely different. Each of them was equivalent to a spell of the sixth step, and after letting out twelve of them, her pretty face had a pale look. After all, this was without any magic attire, and with her cultivation reaching the middle section of the seventh step, these were already her limits. Of these tornadoes, some were turning straight, some in reverse, but each one followed a different path. And in case one burst, the others will instantly be attracted by it, and almost immediately reach the enemy. Among single-targeted spells, these twelve small-scale tornadoes used quiteplex magic. If its full power struck, it could match a single-targeted spell of the eighth step. Long Haochens advancing pace slowed down, as those twelve tornadoes were sweeping from all directions. Lifting up his right hand, one could see a white light spread from within, taking the shape of a heavy sword a meter-and-a-half in length. Afterwards, Long Haochen shut his eyes, advancing his left foot, and slowly chopped with condensed spiritual energy. Materialization of spiritual higndized energy? No, Long Haochens cultivation didnt reach that step yet, as he was still unable to deploy Spiritual Hignd to this degree. This was actually a well-known ability, Holy Sword. Using his hand as a de obviously greatly limited the power of Holy Sword, but backed by the purity of his light spiritual energy, Long Haochens weapon seemed not much different to a real heavy sword of light attribute. This chop seemed as light as a feather, following a slow movement, but still hit the first tornado that was about to reach him. Still far away, Tan Wan already had acent look. No matter how strong you are, as long as youe in contact with my tornado, it will activate the tornadoes formation instantly. I want to see if you can withstand my spell of the eighth step without any defensive equipment. But thecency on Tan Wans face onlysted for a split instant, before turning into shock. As he cut into the tornado, Long Haochen didnt even cause a reaction from it. It looked like this tornado characterized by its extreme cutting force simply became an extension of his hand, lifted up alongside it. Long Haochens presence disappeared immediately,pletely blending into the surrounding wind essence. The other eleven tornadoes only coiled around him withoutunching any attack. As his right arm slightly vibrated, Long Haochen made a shing motion as the tornado on the tip of his hand turned into dots of green light dissipating in the air. Holy Sword was still here after the first tornado disappeared. The other eleven immediately showed a reaction, all heading toward Long Haochen together. At this instant, Long Haochens very slow figure elerated all of a sudden, as Holy Sword in his hand made eleven sessive very close cuts. All eleven tornadoes came to a stop in midair, and immediately disappeared without any trace. As his figure shed across, crossing instantly ten meters per step, Long Haochen arrived in front of Tan wan in a sh. Tan Wan raised her arms almost out of subconscious mind, aiming two punches against Long Haochen, with green light coiling around her both hands, at a considerable punching speed. This was an unexpected martial strategy. Long Haochen actually wasnt caught unprepared by the blow, but didnt try to resist, letting Tan Wans fists bombard his chest. Bang, bang.?Two sounds followed, but Long Haochen remained motionless. Tan Wan felt that the instant her hand imbued with light elemental spiritual energynded on Long Haochen, it was immediately dispelled in the midst of vibrations, without inflicting the slightest damage to his body at all. Long Haochen didntunch a counteroffensive, remaining motionless. His hands were bent down to the two sides, as he stared focusedly at her. Letting down her two hands, Tan Wan had a lifeless look toward Long Haochen, Its my loss. These words came out from her mouth with difficulty, but she had no other choice but to admit her own defeat. She could feel that Long Haochens cultivation was far above hers, just too far above. It was not only his spiritual energy, but also his experience in realbat, as well as his added up strength, perception and uses of his abilities. He was just at a totally different level in all aspects. Long Haochen drew two steps back, increasing the distance separating Tan Wan to him, Yourst magic was quite powerful. If I wasnt a specialist in controlling frequencies in the air, resisting it would be very hard. Tan Wan had a bitter smile, You dont need to console me. A loss is a loss. Thats just the gap between the two of us. However, I have two questions. First, just how did you split my tornado formation. And second, you seemed already aware that I had learnt martial arts, but this secret is only known to my teacher. Even Lin Xin didnt know about it, could it be Teacher who told you about it? It cant be! Chapter 560 - The bloody female wargod’s tears (I)

Chapter 560: The bloody female wargods tears (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Tan Wan said with a bitter smile, You dont need to console me. A loss is a loss. Thats just the gap between the two of us. However, I have two questions. First, just how did you split my tornado formation? And second, you seemed already aware that I had learnt martial arts, but this secret is only known to my teacher. Even Lin Xin didnt know about it, could it be Teacher who told you about it? This cant be!! Long Haochen showed a faint smile, I had to go all out against your tornado formation. I previously self-created a technique called Ripples of Light. It is based on research on the frequencies of spiritual energy waves. For this reason, I had already found out that each of the tornadoes forming your tornado formation were all different. It wasnt as an act of contempt that I had shut my eyes, but to focus my attention on determining the variations on these tornadoes. If my response was wrong, they would have erupted with their true might. In the end, I determined the differences in their frequency and found the breaches in each tornado, in order to finally neutralize them. This took arge amount of focus to aplish. Tan Wan still seemed unable to understand, But I have never seen something such as that sword intent of yours. Even the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple dont have anyone whos your match in this aspect. If I am not mistaken, you should have already reached the boundary of bing one with your sword to be able to use that sword intent so unrestrainedly. Its definitely not a matter that isprehended in one day or two. Just how did you reach such martial attainments? Long Haochen showed a slight smile, This question is even easier to answer. Just like you are training magic as well as martial arts, I am not only a Guardian Knight, but also a Retribution Knight. My skill with the sword is naturally an important object of focus. Tan Wan opened her eyes wide, A dual Retribution and Guardian Knight? And you really are able to harmonize perfectly these two kinds of knight abilities. It appears that your Knight Temple is still far ahead of us. Reaching this point, she couldnt help but feel disappointed. Long Haochen continued, Let me reply to your other question. It is indeed thanks to Li Zhengzhi that I know about your dual expertise in magic and martial arts. Its not that he has told me, but he has instead showed me. Because the day head Li changed himself into incarnation of the Wind God, I had a special feeling. Although he was using a powerful spell of the forbidden spell level that day, if he hadnt a sufficient martial mastery, he couldnt possibly have reached such a level of stability in the de. This is how I had this audacious supposition. Actually, magic and martial arts are a set. To us knights, magic is used to supplement martial arts, and thats how knight abilities are constituted. Any of these abilities are drawing power from spiritual energy. Under such premises it isnt impossible for mages to make breakthroughs thanks to martial techniques. But I suggest you put more efforts on increasing your external spiritual energy, otherwise your use of martial abilities will be limited by only relying on your internal spiritual energy. That is unless you one day reach head Lis level of cultivation, where martial arts can be used through a forbidden spell. Tan Wan snorted at him, You are saying that so rxedly, but how could it be so easy? Anyone would find it iparably hard to train both martial arts and magic. A person has limited energy and obviously needs to make choices. Long Haochen nodded, You will have to ask guidance from head Li about that, I cannot help you on this matter. Our battle is now over right? Tan Wan let out an unhappy snort, You won. How about it? Still want to shame me further? Long Haochen broke into aughter, You should really change this temperament, otherwise Im afraid that it will affect your future cultivation. With unstable emotions, one can hardly manage to cultivate to the peak. Tan Wan was baffled. Its unknown whether she really assimted Long Haochens advice, as she once again shifted subjects, Havent you said that you have a favor to ask me? Speak now. Since you won against me, I will do my best to answer to it. Long Haochen replied, I will soon leave alongside Lin Xin and the others, but big sister Xiner will be remaining in the Tombal Mountain Pass alongside her Demon Hunt Squad. I hope that you can help me look after them. I have always regarded big sister Xiner the same as a biological elder sister. Her brows rising high, Tan Wan replied in fury, Are you trying to shame me on purpose? You must have already learnt about the matter between Lin Xin and I right? Want me to look after my sworn enemy? What a good idea! Long Haochen became quite helpless, I only hope that you can let go of these grudges. Come to mention it, this matter cannot be med on anyone. It was all the result of a freakbination of factors. Are you really nning on staying so rigid on the matter forever? In the future, both Lin Xin and you will surely be higher-ups for the Mage Temple. Dont tell me you think the contradiction between the two of you will not lead to issues in the Mage Temples ranks? I know that you are finding it very hard to let go of the matter. I dont have a very good understanding of emotional matters either, so I can only advise you generally, to heal your heart by letting go. Time is the best remedy: maybe one day you wille to find your true love, and involuntarilye to forgive Lin Xin. But I must emphasize on one point. No matter how strong you are in the Mage Temple, I hope that you wont wound big sister Xiner. Otherwise, I wont ever let you get away with it, and wont even leave the Mage Temple in peace. Are you threatening me? Tan Wan coldly asked. Long Haochen indifferently replied, It can be considered so. I hope that the next time we meet, it will be as friends, and not as enemies. After saying that, he turned back to exit the room. Seeing his leaving figure, Tan Wan really had a special feeling. In front of this man, the one that has always been regarded as the number one genius of the Mage Temple was actually so insignificant. Seeing him put his Golden Foundation Armor back on, she felt as if she was looking at her teacher from behind. _But hes far younger than me!_ Unwell because of disappointment, Tan Wan found out with shock that she didnt have the courage to reject Long Haochens request; she didnt dare. _But must I really take care of that girl just as he said?_ Early morning. Long Haochen, Caier, Han Yu and Lin Xin all exited the Tombal Mountain Pass and headed to the south. Li Xins eyes became hazy with tears at some points. Beside her were the members of her Demon Hunt Squad. Even if he was an idiot, Luc Xu would find out about Long Haochens arrival. His feelings of great sorrow even exceeded Tan Wan. After all, he had personally witnessed the growth of their Demon Hunt Squad! After just a few years, he already found himself unable to chase further after them. The gap between them was already wide beyond any possibility to catch up. Not far away, Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan stood there, following with their eyes the departing four. Xuanyuan Yan felt as if relieved from arge burden, and his gloomy look was finally rxed. He had always loved Tan Wan dearly, but Tan Wan cancelled their engagement because of Lin Xins letter. He had never hated her for that, but had hated Lin Xin to the extreme. As Lin Xins talent stood out in the Mage Temple, due to his exceptional performance in the Tombal Mountain Pass, Xuanyuan Yans bitter hate only kept deepening. He even privately provoked Lin Xin many times, out of fear that Tan Wan may be snatched by him. Seeing Lin Xin finally leave, Xuanyuan Yan found out with amazement that the rancor filling him seemed to disappear as he departed. Although Tan Wan didnt want to admit it, she had just lost her greatest rival. Xuanyuan Yan understood her more than anyone else, and knew what he ought to do. Tan Wan suddenly came in front of Li Xin, telling her, Dont cry. Li Xin had a terrible start, and looking at Tan Wan, she couldnt help but wrinkle her eyebrows. _Lin Xin has just left, what does this girl still want?_ After pausing for a short time, Tan Wan dered, You have a good brother. I will be writing off all our past matters. The bastard Lin Xin isnt in my memories anymore. After saying that, she immediately turned back away. Li Xin became lifeless, while Xuanyuan Yan was greatly overjoyed. He understood that his opportunity had finallye. Maybe this was the arrival of the spring of his life. From the Tombal Mountain Pass to the south, the next stop was the Southeastern Fort. The Southeastern Mountain Passmanded by the Warrior Temple has always been interdependent with the Mage Temple. These two great Temples were quite close, and they gave each other mutual help; so although the Southeastern fort had a tough time, they still managed to repel the demon offensive. After four days of intense travel, Long Haochen and the other three finally reached this one set of city and fort they had visited before. The timing of their arrival was quite coincidental as the demon armies were right in the midst ofunching a fierce offensive against the Southeastern Mountain Pass. The eight great demon gods standing outside the fort had yet to join the battle, but their demon god pirs glows were fully epassing their armies. A bitter battle was happening at high altitude, giving off a faint scent of blood. When looking down from a height, one could see scenes of bloodbaths. Captain, whats to be done? Lets directly join the battle! Han Yu expressed to Long Haochen. With a nod, he replied, Lets wait a little moment. First, search for Yuanyuan. Despite being the Scion of Light, he also had his own selfish motives. Now that they were far and elevated high, Han Yu and he released light essence, expressing their status as allies. Assisting the Southeastern Mountain Pass in fending off the demon army was a must, but helping Wang Yuanyuan was even more pressing. Shutting his eyes, Long Haochen, riding Star King, swept his mental force through the Southeastern Forts scope, looking for Wang Yuanyuans silhouette. Because of the war happening below, the fluctuations of spiritual energy were extremely frantic. There it caused terrible interferences to his mental force, making his scouting a lot more challenging. Wang Yuanyuan was indeed fighting on the Southeastern Fort. In her left hand was the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, and in her right hand, Bloodstorm. She was in a total ughter, to the extent that she wouldnt be able to tell out how many enemies blood was stained on her. Chapter 561 - The bloody female wargod’s tears (II)

Chapter 561: The bloody female wargods tears (II)

The Holy War had gone on for close to two years, and both parties consumption was veryrge. Originally, the demon army seemed to be rather more restful, only asionallyunching some symbolic offenses. The Southeastern Fort took advantage of that to rest its troops, but for some reason no one knew, the demon army once again made an all-out offense one week ago, and this attack was even fiercer than the past ones. Immediately, all the powerhouses of the Southeastern Mountain Pass had to join the battlefield, and an unstoppable battle followed then. The whole fort was now full of the stench of blood. Wang Yuanyuan was still standing on the first row of the battlefield, defending the walls. Compared to the time of the Holy War, her shield and de had gained a denseyer of blood color. That not only was due to piercing the enemies, but furthermore, it carried a fierce aggressivity, born from countless ughters. Wang Yuanyuans appearance wasnt much different from before, but her manners had undergone an earth shattering change; she was extremely cold and steady. Even in the midst of ughters, her appearance didnt change at all despite that her whole body was suffused with reeking blood. Even those veterans from the Warrior Temple couldntpare with her fierce and ruthless moves. And Wang Yuanyuans cultivation made rapid progress. From the continuous ughter, she umted arge amount of killing intent, and by some unknown method she made continuous breakthroughs thanks to the stimtion of her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Now, her cultivation had already exceeded Zhang Fangfang whose breakthrough to the seventh step happened a long time before. Her dedication moved every higher-up of the Warrior Temple. Fifth rank of the seventh step: that was the level currently reached by Wang Yuanyuans internal spiritual energy. Adding to that the terrifying weapons of ughter in her hand, she would definitely fully deserve to be called a ughter god if such an election were to take ce. From the start of the Holy War to the current time, she had never missed any battle. At most, she could sometimes remain fighting in the forts area for five days and five nights before fainting due to exhausting her physical force and being carried away. Aftering back to her senses, she would, regardless of anyones obstruction, stand back on the Southeastern Mountain Pass. By now, Wang Yuanyuan was acimed as a hero for the Southeastern Fort since long before, as well as an idol for the overwhelming majority of the warriors. Zhang Fangfang didnt have his own Demon Hunt Squad anymore, and had been following Wang Yuanyuans side silently all the time. He had tried many times to convince her, and many times jumped in front of her to block the enemies for her sake, yet Wang Yuanyuan had never listened to his persuasion. Atst, Zhang Fangfangs attitude also came to change gradually. His feelings actually didnt weaken from seeing her determination, but instead became even stronger. And furthermore, he also started to get influenced by Wang Yuanyuan, changing his ways from a Guardian Knight to a Retribution Knight, achieving his share of frantic kills, although quite slower than Wang Yuanyuan. At the moment, Zhang Fangfang was standing beside her, his armor covered in multiple colors since long before. The heavy sword he had in one hand was dedicated to killing the enemy, and the shield in his other hand was entirely dedicated to blocking the attacks aimed at Wang Yuanyuan. The two of them were walking their way out of mountains of corpses. If not for the protection of the spiritual stoves at their disposal and the meticulous watch of the Warrior Temples higher-ups, who knew how many times they would have already died in the battlefield by now. Three immense Demonic Bears, who had been catapulted directly to the fortress, went after the two of them, wavingrge hammers, and met with Wang Yuanyuans attacks. Bang!?The first Demonic Bears attack met with the parry of Zhang Fangfangs shield as a second one was met with his heavy sword. With a stuffy groan, Zhang Fangfang spit some blood. He had already stopped counting the number of times he sustained such wounds, and even started to grow ustomed to it. In a violent sh, the two Demonic Bears were forced away. Everything Zhang Fangfang did was in order to stall for time for Wang Yuanyuans sake. The Divine Soul Shield smashed the two hammers, and the result that followed conformed with Bloodstorms name. On the fortress, another carnage followed. Even with the Demonic Bears great violence, the other two couldnt help but disy some fear at the sight of their partner being cut off by Bloodstorm. In panic, they lost the will to keep advancing as they didnt dare confront the ughterer Wang Yuanyuan was. The Gigantic Divine Soul Shield supported on the ground, Wang Yuanyuan tookrge gasps for breath. Aiming an almost blood colored look at Zhang Fangfang, he nodded lightly to her. Zhang Fangfang then forced a smile, Im alright. You go take a little break, I will be standing on guard. Wang Yuanyuan remained silent. Many times, camaraderie didnt require words, but engraved feelings. Right at this time, a golden pir of light appeared out of nowhere, epassing Wang Yuanyuan inside. Then came another onending on Zhang Fangfang. A dense warmth and very pleasurable light rapidly provided nourishment for their bodies. In the midst of sweet sounds, two golden angels appeared out of nowhere, pping their sets of six wings, and held Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuan from behind. They had already been fighting on the Southeastern Mountain Pass for three days and three nights and were quite tired and wounded. Their spiritual energies were already close to copse, so this time, these two powerful healing spells were no less than the perfect help they needed. Both their physical force and spiritual energy recovered at astonishing speeds. Most of all, Zhang Fangfang was greatly shocked to see how pure the golden radiance shining upon Wang Yuanyuan was. Aside from a golden color, that image of angels faintly let out a pure and holy aura. The blood color filling Wang Yuanyuans eyes unexpectedly disappeared rapidly on her embrace. Which was to say, she was not only healing her wounds, but furthermore soothing her soul full of murderous spirit. This was the first time Zhang Yuanyuan saw such a use of Angels Embrace, healing both the body and the spirit. Subconsciously, Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuan raised their head, to see four figures rushing to them from the sky. The two knights in the lot were the users of Angels Embrace. As theynded swiftly on the ground, arge amount of fireballs came out from the Fire Cloud Crystal Staff of the mage d in fire-red color, getting rid of the demons in arge area be they on the ground or in the skies. These blue fireballs produced a dense smell of charcoal, obviously from the demon soldiers scorching. Some rather stronger ones escaped this fate, including the previous two Demonic Bears that had just escaped from the side, but they all died in the midst of grey flickers of light. Almost within the time of one breath, the portion of the wall assigned to Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuan became a lot more tranquil. Han Yu stepped forward, waving his heavy shield, which blocked in front of him. Lin Xin arrived onto his back, without stopping the attacks from his staff in the slightest. The powerful offensive strength of a fire mage came into full disy: in front of his powerful magic onught, no demons werefor the momentable to approach them. Han Yu, Lin Xin, Caier? Wang Yuanyuan had a hoarse voice, full of disbelief. Ever since the start of the Holy War, this was the first time the hands gripping her weapons trembled. Yuanyuan, Im here too. From behind the Golden Foundation Armors mask came Haochens voice. ngng.?The weapons on Wang Yuanyuans hands were dropped at the same time as her body swayed, on the edge of copsing, but Zhang Fangfang hastened to support her. Boss Boss, you guys finally came. On the Southeastern Fort, Wang Yuanyuan, that tough beyondpare and bloodily attacking bloody war goddess, actually lost control of her feelings and burst into tears. Long Haochen stepped forward and gave him a vigorous hug without care for the bloodstains on her, We arrived. And now, we have to go gather with Yinger and Sima. The sixty fourthmander grade Demon Hung Squad is reforming. No, the day it will reform, it will be at the king grade. Mh, mh Wang Yuanyuan was empty of words, as her tears flowed uncontrobly. Because of herck of confidence, she was probably the one who had the most painful times in the team: for close to two years she struggled to the brink of death almost every day, finding breakthroughs in desperate battles. This was so that she wouldnt be left behind by the others, for the day they would be able to reform their team. Long Haochen came, and Caier, Han Yu, Lin Xin as well. They havent forgotten me, and they came for me. So our Demon Hunt Squad is finally reforming!?This instant, Wang Yuanyuan felt totally emptied of force, finally rxing her stretched mental state, unable to control her emotions anymore. Long Haochen returned her to Zhang Fangfangs arms, Brother Zhang, thank you. Zhang Fangfang sighed lightly, All I did regarding Yuanyuan was only for my own sake. I havent been able to protect myrades, so if I am not even able to protect her, then I can only follow her in that fate. Long Haochen said next, While Yuanyuan is unstable emotionally, Ill be leaving her to brother Zhangs protection. Lets have a chat after this battle is over. As he raised his right hand, Rippling Light appeared in his grasp. The extremity of his foot tapping onto the ground, Long Haochen arrived at Han Yus side in one movement. By simply observing the situation, one could see that Lin Xin and Caier were on the offense, with Han Yu standing on defense. As long as no enemy powerhouse over the eighth step came, this defensive front would hardly be broken. Long Haochen drew back rapidly, reached Han Yus back, and then started chanting resonantly. Ever sinceing out of seclusion, Long Haochen often became closer to a light elemental mage. Furthermore, his light elemental spells were far more powerful than mages. The affinity of a gods chosen one with his element made him frequently able to unleash magic far above his own rank. At the time he studied in the cave, Long Haochen focused mostly on defensive Guardian Knight abilities and healing ones. By relying on his great advantages as a gods chosen one, he could even maintain a domain for some time, just like a Holy Knight of the ninth step. This was also where those few forbidden spells of light element came from. Chapter 562 - The bloody female wargod’s tears (III)

Chapter 562: The bloody female wargods tears (III)

Trantor: GravityTales During the time of his chant, the golden light on Long Haochens body kept gaining in intensity. In the air,rge amounts of light essence started to resonate with him. But still, he had a very disappointed look on his face. Just as he expected, the same incantation wont always show the same power every time. Luck couldnt stand on his side forever. Long Haochen was chanting for Sacred Rain. But this time, he couldnt gather all the light essence, and didnt give birth to the previous miraculous scene. It only ended up as a Rain of Light. A brilliant golden pir of light appeared from nowhere, illuminating the whole surrounding area. Although Rain of Light was by far iparable with Sacred Rain, in the end it remained a healing spell of the eighth step, sufficient to cover a circumference of a thousand square meters. In its range, all the warriors and mages in the Southeastern Mountain Pass were very effectively healed, and the demons let out some greenish smoke, as their offense greatly weakened. Still, Rain of Light was in the end only a rain of light. Its area of effect, healing efficiency, and duration were all by far iparable to the supra forbidden spell Sacred Rain. So the demon offense was only slightly contained, yielding a short time for resting to the soldiers. After the healing, Rain of Light was already over, and the demon army continued its charge in tides. Lin Xin had drawn back slightly. The continuous offensive spell greatly consumed his spiritual energy, and although he had the boost from the Fire Dragon Wings, he required some time of adjustment to recover his spiritual energy. Without his powerful magic attacks, the demons immediately continued their charge against the fortress. At their vanguard were actually some of the Luke ns Invisible Demons. They couldnt drill through the tough walls, but aimed their sharp pointed arms forward without hesitation. Han Yu responded calmly to these enemies, not greedy for achievements. Both hands holding his shield, he epassed the surroundings with his senses, perfectly defending Long Haochen and Lin Xin behind him. Holy Light Imbued Shield, Shield Charge, Divine Obstruction, and Shield Wall. Several great shield defensive abilities were used by Han Yu, who stood unmoving, yet stopped the advance of all demons in a range of twenty meters. Like a streak of gray light, the light of death, Caier moved forth. Everywhere she passed, even the tenacious Demonic Bear had no way to resist in the slightest. The sharpness of the Sickle of the God of Death could only be described as terrible, and further adding that to her godly speed, all the holes in Han Yus defense on the sidelines were perfectlyplemented. Long Haochen still didnt participate in the attack, releasing one Guardian Knight spell after another. Faith Halo, Guardians Favor, Toughness Halo, Spiritual Gathering Halo, Sacred Halo. Every halo-type ability far surpassed ordinary knights when released by him, covering an extremelyrge area. He could even throw the area in a certain direction to let it spread and cover the other sides of the fortress. Due to his series of light spells, almost a third of the warriors in the fort were boosted by some halo. Although this series of halos didnt provide an enormous boost, it had the properties of the light element, not only greatly boosting the allies morale, but also increasing both the soldiers offensive strength and survivability. In the lot, the most remarkable one was Sacred Halo. This was one of the most useful ones in battles against demons. In its area, all the warriors attacks gained properties of sacred light. This tremendously increased their killing power against demons, and upon entering its range, the strength of any enemy of the darkness attribute immediately plummeted. For sure,pared to defense and boosts, Long Haochens offense was far better. But he was not in a situation of one against one or a decisive struggle of one against many. A Guardian Knights usefulness in the battlefield was far beyondpare with a Retribution Knights one. The advantages he had as gods chosen one made the boost provided by each of Long Haochens ability at least three times more effective than an ordinary knights. These amplifying techniques with a low consumption were almost uninterruptedly fired. For a moment, a third of the area covered by the Southeastern Fort was enveloped in a drizzling golden splendor. After a short time of recovery, Lin Xin also returned to battle,unching batteries of attacks. As far as his Heart of Fires mes reached, blue seas of fire greatly restricted the demons advance and attacks. And at the time his full powered attacks came, Han Yu and Caier would vanish to the sidelines, recovering some spiritual energy. The mutual understanding between them was already extremely deep. Even after having separated for so long, their joint attacks were still that harmonious. This mutual understanding came from their absolute confidence. This was especially due to Long Haochens presence, acting as the soul of the team, enabling the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad to make powerful moves without the slightest fear. _ng._ Sounds of metal rang on Long Haochens left side, apanied with an excited shout, Caier, just focus on the right side and leave the left side to me. Long Haochen inclined his head sideways, to see that Wang Yuanyuan had joined his side. Those metallic sounds of collision came from the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield and Bloodstorm. Yuanyuan, you... Long Haochen said in surprise. Immersed in the halos liberated by Long Haochen, Wang Yuanyuans body was enveloped by ayer of golden gloss. Boss, how could I be left out? Did you know, I have been waiting for our reunion to fight alongside each other for for far too long! Having received the healing from Angels Embrace, Wang Yuanyuan recovered some of her strength. She was the one with the greatest mental change. The arrival of Long Haochen and the others admittedly enabled her to loosen the deep pressure she put on herself, but also aroused an inexhaustiblebativeness in her. Being able to fight alongside her most familiarpanions was an absolute happiness in her eyes. Seeing Long Haochen and the other four coordinate with tacit understanding on the front, how could she rest peacefully behind? After recovering mentally for a few minutes, she immediately joined Long Haochens side. Long Haochen didnt stop Wang Yuanyuan, he knew that he had no way to stop her, Okay. Then lets fight alongside. Yuanyuan, activate your chains. Yes Captain! Wang Yuanyuan shouted aloud. At the time of their initial separation, the members of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad all voluntarily deactivated the Soul Binding Chains, because they didnt know what they would encounter in this time of separation. No one wanted to implicate theirrades. After reuniting, the Soul Binding Chains connected one after another, symbolizing them reuniting as a whole. After reuniting, all the members of their squad had be far stronger than before. Their experiences of life and deaths made them treasure this team all the more, while their experience and strength grew dramatically. Five of the seven were already reunited, and the strength of their team was regained for the most part. With Wang Yuanyuan covering the left side and putting on a powerful disy of might with her two weapons, Long Haochen was sitting in the center of the formation, putting his whole hearte into using his buffing magic. The higher-ups from the Warrior Temple had noticed this change since long before. The sudden appearance of these four to join the battlefield astonished them greatly, but, because of the dense holy light attribute emanating from Long Haochen and Han Yu, they didnt block them. The sight of Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor then greatly surprised them. The Golden Foundation Knights were the core of the Knight Temples force. Unless its for some important mission, they wont easily leave the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. So howe a Golden Foundation knight suddenly led a group to the Southeastern Mountain Pass? The Wargods and War Emperors under Qiu Yonghaos lead all stood opposite to the eight great demon gods. Seeing Long Haochen release one boosting spell after another, they couldnt help but secretly feel high praises. Thats a Guardian Knights! Among all vocations, Guardian Knights were of extreme use in the battlefield. They could defend, support, attack, and even heal. A powerful all-rounded Guardian Knight could totally reverse the tides. Qiu Yonghao and the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple were floating in the sky, overlooking the situation distinctly. Ever since the arrival of Long Haochens group with theunch of Rain of Light, the pressure on the Southeastern Mountain Pass had visibly alleviated. The demons offense was greatly suppressed. The great assistance of these few was analyzed the most deeply by Qiu Yonghao, in his capacity as chief of the Warrior Temple. Knight, mage, assassin, knight, warrior. Wait, Wang Yuanyuan is actually coordinating with them without a sound. Could they be from that Demon Hunt Squad of hers? Reaching this point, Qiu Yonghao couldnt help but feel deep shock. In his memories immediately resurged the time when a youngster left the sword intents deep secrets inside the Warrior Temple. _Wait, could the Golden Foundation Armor using nonstop boosting spells be him? So_ _he actually progressed to such an extent in less_ _than two years?_ Recalling that conference that took ce less than two years ago in the Temple Alliance, Qiu Yonghao couldnt help but feelplex feelings arise. Whats the role of a Guardian Knight in the battlefield? Thats not defense nor healing much less attack! Its to prolong the lives of hisrades-in-arms as much as possible. As long as you understand this, and manage it, you will be a truly qualified Guardian Knight. His grandfathers words reverberating in his mind, Haochens use of the halos became more and more adept, his halos flowing together with increased efficiency. The recovery from the Golden Foundation Armor as well as his own gave him an almost unending supply of spiritual energy to fully use these halo-type spell reaching at most the fifth step. In terms of pure speed, although he was still below a pure mage such as Lin Xin, his range was far beyondpare with a mage of same rank, or even Lin Xin. Chapter 563 - Clear Vision’s Godly Pull (I)

Chapter 563: Clear Visions Godly Pull (I)

Long Haochen was in a very special state, giving him a kind of sublime feeling. As all these halos were released, and the lives of the allies were saved, a far stronger feeling than the time he was actively ughtering the enemies arose in him. The battle was still proceeding. The Holy War was originally a prolonged war, and the current situation all the more. It was a meat grinding battle, where corpses piled up like a mountain around the fortress. Although the addition of Long Haochens group made the Southeastern Forts situation a lot more stable, the demon offense showed no signs of weakening, bing instead even fiercer. Even more demon powerhouses joined the battlefield and attacked the forts defensive line. Circles of ck light autonomously came out from the eight demon god pirs. Each of themnded in arge area of demon soldiers, who immediately felt bursts of excitement due to their influence, bravely charging. Of the eight demon gods responsible for the attack of the fort, the leading one was an absolute beauty. Even for a human, this was a perfect appearance. But the body had a very manly stature, a tall and sturdy figure with six ck wings on the back. And on the forehead, a triangr ck crystal. Paimon, ranked ninth of the seventy-two demon gods. Angel Demon God, expert in dark magic. Aside from Paimon, the other seven demon gods were all below the twentieth rank. So he was naturally themander of this area. The Angel Demon God Paimon was different from the Hell Demon God Marbas in that Marbas was a pure mage of darkness element, or should we say, a hellish mage, and Paimon had both magic and martial specializations, expert in various boosting magics of the darkness element. To be able to hold a seat among the top ten demon gods, his individual fighting power was not below Marbas by much. Also, he was a good friend of the Moon Demon God Agares, and held a sublime status among demons. Before inheriting his position as demon god, Paimon used to serve as the Demon God Emperors imperial guard, receiving good care and guidance from him. Therefore, he was extremely loyal to the Demon God Emperor, and firmly obeyed every one of his orders. When the Demon God Emperor ordered him to only deplete the Warrior Temples strength, he did no more. When he was told to strengthen the attacks, thats what he did. As a single individual, without nsmen of his own, he didnt have to worry about his kin or race. Acting ording to the Demon God Emperor was enough. As such, he was acimed by the Demon God Emperor as his most loyal subordinate. Of course, Paimons status was by far iparable to Agares or Vassago. These two demon gods were the Demon God Emperors best brothers. Even so, no one was as free from worry as him, apart from these three. Even Saminaga and Marbas dealt with him with great care. An exception remained, and thats the Berserk Demon God Ahnan. Although Paimon didnt have to listen and obey to Ahnans orders, he still submitted totally to Ahnan. That was out of respect, as when the twopared notes, he had not won even once, suffering a severe loss every time. Senior Paimon. That knight who has arrived suddenly is quite threatening. Should we take some measures against him? Beside Paimon was another handsome looking demon god with six wings on the back, asking in low voice. Aside from the looks of femininity of the former, he resembled the Angel Demon God quite a lot, apart fromcking a third eye on the forehead. That was the forty ninth ranked demon god, Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. Because of his resemnce to Paimon, these two had a good rtionship. And being also a standalone demon god, he could be considered Paimons direct sessor. Paimon told, Then go scout him out. Yes. Crocell replied, and looked into the distance at Long Haochens direction. The demon god undtions surrounding him were colored in a sinister deep blue. Immediately, his other eye opened slowly, revealing a deep blue pupil. Colorless bizarre waves traced a sort of straight line, rushing straight for the Southeastern Mountain Pass. Long Haochen, still using various halo type abilities, suddenly had a dizzy feeling, as if a special force was trying to disconnect his mind. In secret rm, he immediately stopped his series of magic, and focused all of his attention, gathering his mental force to scout this sudden change. In Long Haochens senses, that force making him dizzy was formed of strong psychic waves, but didnt look like the attack from psychic magic. Even he couldnt contend against it with his mental force, but this psychic force wasnt anything like a powerful attack. But in the end the issue was that he couldnt determine what this could be. He could just faintly sense that it came from the demons. In the space between Long Haochens eyes came out a ripple of golden color, immediately extending from there, rapidly enveloping his whole body. Outside thisyer of gold color, one could faintly see tinges of deep blue color. In a blink of eye, these tints were destroyed, and everything came back to normal. Huh? The Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell revealed an astonished look, What a strong mental force! That knight is clearly specialized in the light element, how could he have such mental strength? The Angel Demon God Paimon wrinkled his brows, How are things? Crocell replied, This human knight has a great mental force. My scouting was discovered right upon reaching him. And his mind rejected it autonomously. With the little probing I managed, I could determine his cultivation to be at the eighth step. He has a Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier on, measuring 1.92 meters, weighing 80 kg. His external spiritual is approximately a little above 30,000. His physical strength is much greater than an ordinary knight. His age Mentioning his age, Crocell showed a perplexed look, His response was just too fast so maybe my scouting isnt very urate. From what the Deep Inspection Method told me, he should be below thirty. His specific age couldnt be scouted clearly, and the same goes for the other equipment on him. A knight of the eighth step below his thirties? Looks like your scouting was really inurate. Are you confident in your ability to get him with your personal ability? Crocell shook his head, Hardly. Although his cultivation is quite below mine, his mental force is very strong. I dont have an absolute confidence in my sess. With a mental force such as his, even if I seed, Im afraid that I will also suffer severe damage in the process. Right at this time, Paimon saw another series of halo-type abilities from Long Haochen, spilling to the whole Southeastern Fort, reinforcing their troops resistance against the demon army. Give it a try then. I will be boosting you. Humans that can wear a Golden Foundation Knight of epic tier are very few, only second to Divine Knights in the Knight Temple. This knight is even more troublesome than a warrior of the ninth step would be. And he seems to have just arrived, and should be unaware of your presence. The Warrior Temple shouldnt have had the time to inform him. Yes! Crocell didnt hesitate in the slightest after hearing Paimons instruction. Gaining the appreciation of the ninth demon god was the greatest motive for his obedience. Calling him Paimons mercenary would be no exaggeration. Shutting both eyes, Crocell started a chant. His voice became very calm, and the demon god pir on his back shone in full deep blue during his chant. As he started chanting, Paimons figure shed, and Crocell was standing to block for him, obstructing the humans line of sight. At the same time he raised his hands, and spread out ayer of drizzling ck fog. All eight demon god pirs on his back were concealed by this act. An earth-shattering amount of dark essence was gathering, and in the midst of a melodious chant, a ck winged angel then pped his wings mildly, soaring around the ck fog, and continuously shot some ck rays at the demon armies below. This was Paimons Fallen Angel Domain. All the demons of the seventh step or below illuminated by this domain will instantly gain a steps strength for a time of five minutes. The boosting effects of this domain could definitely be ranked in the top three among all demon domains. In the meantime, while concealed by the ck fog, Paimon also started to chant in a low voice, dark golden rays bubbling forth from his eyes to turn into a dark gold colored spiral which covered Crocell on his back. Having gained the boost from this dark golden radiance, Crocells chant elerated visibly, and his demon god pir hidden in the ck fog released some dark blue radiance which started to let out twisting undtions which gathered in between his eyebrows. The central eye on his forehead started to change looks, deepening in color. A Golden Foundation Knight may have caught Paimons attention, but generally, it wouldnt make him have Crocell take such dangerous actions. He didnt know why, but after listening to Crocells description, he immediately made this choice without hesitation. Deep inside him, he had the faint feeling that something with this Golden Foundation Knight was amiss. Paimon made such a firm choice, but regardless of whether his feeling was correct, killing a Golden Foundation Knight from the Knight Temple couldnt be a mistake. From the previous little event, Long Haochens vignce was raised quite highly. Still, those psychic waves were short-lived and didnt inflict the slightest damage to him. So he didnt became overly careful, and still kept chaining those halo abilities. With Long Haochens current cultivation, he believed firmly that considering the current distance of the eight demon gods, even if the enemy suddenly were tounch a sudden attack of forbidden spell grade, it wouldnt involve him in a situation such as the ones in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the Exorcist Mountain Pass or the Tombal Mountain Pass battle. Unless one of the top three demon gods came out here. Chapter 564 - Clear Vision’s Godly Pull (II)

Chapter 564: Clear Visions Godly Pull (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The Warrior Temples chief Qiu Yonghao kept his eyes on Long Haochen all the time. The instant he stopped using halos, and changed his stance to defense, he couldnt help but stare nkly. Long Haochens previous halos were chaining so naturally and without any waste of spiritual energy, that this sudden stop was clearly very unnatural. _What happened?_ Qiu Yonghao immediately had some doubts, and from his position, it was obviously impossible to see that bluish-ck trail rejected by Haochen. Immediatelyter, Qiu Yonghao saw the eruption of ck fog confronting the demon army. The Angel Demon God Paimons activation of Fallen Angel Domain instantly rose an ominous premonition to Qiu Yonghaos mind, sensing that something was about to happen. _What are the demons nning? His thoughts running amok, Qiu Yonghao suddenly trembled, thinking about that one weakest and yet most dangerous individual amongst them._ Golden Knight, be careful! Grab someone beside you! Qiu Yonghaos loud shout reberberated through the skies almost immediately. With his level of cultivation, spreading his voice to Long Haochens range was naturally no issue. In the meantime, Qiu Yonghao led the group of powerhouses straight toward the outside of the fortress. Golden Knight, that was without a doubt destined to be Long Haochen. While fully using halos, he naturally recognized Qiu Yonghaos voice, however these words puzzled him. _Grab someone? What does he mean?_ In that instant of hesitation, Long Haochen suddenly felt an indescribable pressure abruptlynd onto him. Then a sudden surge of panic reached his mind, as he felt an extremely unpredictable threat. But any powerhouse has a strong desire of control, especially over themselves. They are used to be in control of everything within the scope of their ability. And in case something bes beyond their control, theyd immediately have feelings of panic, which was Long Haochens current state. A perfectly straight brilliant dark blue ray travelled through the dense ck fog, aiming right for Long Haochen and toward the Southeastern Fort. That instant, Long Haochen felt his body bing suddenly stiff, as a choking terrible psychic force instantly seized him. Right at this time, his hand was raised, wanting to grab the nearby Han Yu. Speaking of something strange, that dark blue ray didnt inflict any damage to others. Even when passing through Han Yus body, he didnt have the slightest awareness of that. It only had effects on Long Haochen. Caier, Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang immediately realized that something was amiss. Hastening to where that attack was targeted, they found out, with overwhelming shock, that all they could do was futile. It seemedposed purely of light, not containing the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, and all their attacksnded on air. Long Haochens body remained in a deadlocked position, as his figure clearly began to weaken. Right, Long Haochen was too slow to react. If he had immediately heeded Qiu Yonghaos call and grabbed Han Yu, he could have made it in time, but unfortunately, due to reflecting, he lost that opportunity. Still, as a gods chosen one, how could he resign himself helplessly to death? Although he didnt know what this dark blue ray would bring and sensed a great danger from it, he could, by sessfully extinguishng it, end up escaping death narrowly. Long Haochen immediately attempted to use the abilities at his disposal on this situation of great danger. First, he thought of the Divine Snail Shield, but found out with shock that only his mental force was useable. All his spiritual energy was already sealed by the dark blue ray, and unable to muster the slightest movement. Having lost the backup of his spiritual energy, no matter the strength of the equipment on him, he was unable to disy their true might. Mental force, mental force! That dark green ray of light was about to seed. And a fierce face came to Haochens sight. Oh, thats right!.. No spiritual energy didnt mean that he couldnt activate his equipment. Not all of his equipment required spiritual energy for use. A golden radiance suddenly shot up on his chest. If he were to look carefully and from a close distance, he would find out that this radiance had the shape of a small skull. On the verge of death, Long Haochen wanted to activate the Eternal Melody, the transporting tool that had saved their lives many times already. No matter how powerful the enemys ability was, as long as he made it out to the Tower of Eternity, what could they do about it? The Eternal Melody only required mental force for use, and didnt need any supply of spiritual energy. Through the Eternal Melody binding it to Long Haochen, the Tower of Eternity had been absorbing the external soul force. Especially after Long Haochens addition to the Holy War, it had be even more greedy, and gradually felt like a monster awaking gradually from Long Haochens view. The Demon God of Death Saminaga already became the greatest offering for the Tower of Eternity. If not for his prompt decision, he could very well have gotten directly swallowed by the tower. That times assimtion of the Domain of Death gave great benefits to the Tower of Eternity. Afterwards, Long Haochen went a few more times on the battlefield, and a substantial number of the deceased souls were absorbed, supplying the tower withrge soul energy. Long Haochen observed many times the Eternal Melody on his neck, and found out that the originally gold colored skull was gradually forming golden mes pulsing in its eyes. This was as if it wasing alive, and further reinforced by connection with the Tower of Eternity. As more and more soul energy was absorbed, the feeling of scorching burn originally felt upon absorption disappeared gradually, to be reced by a feeling of warmth. Its influence on Long Haochen also reduced gradually, and the feeling of substance it had made it feel like a huge supporter in Long Haochens eyes. Only, he hadnt nned to use this supporter directly, and didnt know how he should. In his mind, he felt like a representative for the Tower of Eternity, making thistter his employer. It kept on absorbing the external soul energy, while doing nothing in return, and in the meantime he was totally unable to control the force of the Tower of Eternity. Of course, Long Haochen had also never attempted to exercise control over the Tower of Eternity. Only, the need of teleportation made him use it. If things were as he guessed, the Tower of Eternity should already be an intelligent divine tool. So it may not even be under the control of the Slumbering Cmity Elux. This made it even harder for Long Haochen to break away from it. Fortunately, even if it took advantage of Haochen in such way, it had already recognized him as its sessor, and therefore never acted harmfully toward Haochen. Speaking of it, its quite strange for the Tower of Eternity to be a divine tool so voracious towards souls. Long Haochen didnt reject it as much as Elux though: no matter what could be said, the Tower of Eternity not only helped him increase his strength, but furthermore saved his groups life multiple times. Without it, Long Haochen would already be dead in the demons hands. Also, they wouldnt have already gained such aplishment, or at least wouldnt have grown in strength so fast. Things really were as Long Haochen expected: while the other equipments were unusable, and even Yating couldnt be summoned, the Eternal Melody emitted her glow just as before. Under the cover of the deep blue ray, Long Haochens body turned illusory, as if it could disappear at anytime. And when the golden radiance appeared, the whole scene changed mystically. The golden radiance issued from his chest immediately merged with the surrounding dark blue ray, and these powerful psychic waves immediately became in disarray. To its owners shock, the Eternal Melody not only fused together with that dark blue ray, but even extended toward the distant ck fog from where it was shot. Almost in the blink of an eye, the dark fog and the deep blue trail on the fortress turned into a mix of deep blue and gold colors. In the sky, the Temple Head of the warriors, Qiu Yonghaos hand chopped at the distant ck fog with a colossal sword intent letting out a huge golden trail of light. Right that instant, Long Haochen disappeared, as well as the interwoven deep blue and golden colors. At the same time, the originator of that deep blue ray, Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, disappeared as well. The entangled golden and blue colored rays in the sky disappeared almost immediately. From the deep blue rays appearance to its full disappearance, only two breaths had psed. And in such a short span of time, some individuals vanished alongside it. The instant Long Haochen disappeared, Caier, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin instead calmed down. They knew Long Haochen very well, and the undtions of spiritual energy produced at the time of that instant disappearance told them that he had returned to the Tower of Eternity. And furthermore, thanks to the connection of the Soul Binding Chains, the four didnt sense any damage shared by them, which was to say that Long Haochen was out of danger at least for now. The Tower of Eternity was their secret, but also their safest ce. After perceiving that Long Haochen had teleported back there, they immediately calmed down. Maybe hed reappear in just a bit. What a shame that they didnt see the stupefied look of the Angel Demon God Paimon. In the midst of the use of his innate ability the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell had disappeared alongside that enemy knight. Chapter 565 - Clear Vision’s Godly Pull (III)

Chapter 565: Clear Visions Godly Pull (III)

The effects of teleportation to the Tower of Eternity rxed Long Haochen greatly. Yet to his surprise, he very rapidly discovered that the deep blue ray adhering to his body hadnt disappeared, but was still entangled with the golden radiance from the Tower of Eternity. A tall silhouette also came to his sight. That teleportation was instantaneous, and it took only a sh for Long Haochen to appear in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity; and along with him was teleported the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. Crocells shock was far greater than Long Haochens. The instant of the teleportation, he lost control of his innate ability, and was immediately then carried into a spatial transportation that he was unable to resist even at his level of cultivation. At the very moment, he couldnt help but spit a dark blue mouthful of blood. Originally, he was unlikely to suffer great damage and weakening with the Angel Demon God Paimons assistance. But during the process of the teleportation, his innate ability was still maintained, and interrupting it was impossible. Its continual use and the spatial travels influence inflicted on him substantial damage. The stronger an ability gets, the greater the bacsh it could carry just like for a spiritual stove. This Demon God of Clear Vision Crocells own cultivation was actually insufficient for him to rank among the top forty-something. The five or six immediately lower ranked demon gods were all above him in fighting strength. The reason why he could rank forty-ninth was his innate ability. Crocell was known as the demon god of Clear Vision, able to scout out the enemies true circumstances from a veryrge range. His magic belonged to the psychic type. At the same time, just like the great majority of the demon gods he was a dual magic and martial cultivator. Any spell of illusion was useless in front of him. Also, his innate ability wasnt so powerful in itself, but things were different when he teams with other demon gods. This innate ability called Clear Visions Godly Pull could, in a certain range, lock his mental force on an opponent, and it had a powerful teleportation effect, able to instantly teleport the target in front of him. In some sense, this Clear Visions Godly Pull was a different approach producing the same results as the Saint Spiritual Stove, only far more powerful than thetter. After all, the Saint Spiritual Stove just pulled, whereas the Clear Visions Godly Pull was capable of direct teleportation. Just think, if Crocells teleportation had seeded, Long Haochen would then be facing the instant surrounding of eight great demon gods. No matter how gifted he could be, and even if he could unleash his whole strength promptly, and have the defense of his divine tools, the oue would still be certain death. Thats the encirclement of eight great demon gods, giving one not the slightest chance! Of course, because of Clear Visions Godly Pulls power, it has great limitations. Crocell can only use it once a day, and by only relying on his own demon god pir, regardless of whether it seeds or fails, it would put him in a very long state of psychic weakness. But thats unless another demon god consents to support him with his own mental force, greatly lessening this bacsh. At the same time, Clear Visions Godly Pull cannot be used against an enemy with a cultivation or mental force surpassing his own. As long as the enemys spiritual energy or mental force exceeds his, the odds of sess lower greatly. Another restriction is the warning that Qiu Yonghao gave. Clear Visions Godly Pull can only be used on one target, so if Long Haochen had grabbed someone else, it would immediately have failed. Thats the reason why the Angel Demon God Paimon released his Angel Domain: for the sake of covering up the use of his ability. This Clear Visions Godly Pull already made the Warrior Temple sufferrge losses. Four powerhouses at the grade of War Emperor died this way in the demon gods hands. Thats why the arrangement of Qiu Yonghaos formation was so tight. The powerhouses from the Warrior Temple were standing two by two to avoid leaving Crocell any chance. But Long Haochen was different! He had no prior knowledge of the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocells ability, which is what led to this. Someone walking frequently on the edge of a river has someday to wet his shoes. Crocell walked far too much along night roads, and finally met his nemesis, encountering this time Long Haochen. Long Haochens natural mental force was exceptional, and far above powerhouses of the same level. But Crocell was after all a demon god of the ninth step, and with his magical attribute being the psychic attribute. As such, Haochens mental force was still below his. Unless his cultivation breaks through the ninth step, he cannotpete with the Demon God of Clear Vision. But that powerful mental force enabled Long Haochen to respond promptly. As the time required for the teleportation increased with the opposing mental force, Long Haochen had at his disposal a few seconds time, and seeded in activating the Tower of Eternity in this span. The Tower of Eternity obviously had a greater precedence than Clear Visions Godly Pull. How could the demon god of Clear Visionpare to a supra-divine-tool ranked existence? Moreover, Long Haochen was its sessor, and someone he could count on to bring many more souls. In a time of great danger, this supra divine tool would obviouslye to his rescue. However, as Clear Visions Godly Pull was in the end enhanced through the demon gods pirs power, it also gained fantastic boosts, which is how this strange result happened. The Angel of Clear Vision Crocell really managed to teleport Long Haochen in front of him, but at the same time Long Haochen relied on the Tower of Eternity, teleporting the two of them here by that way. The two teleportations had seeded, but Long Haochen also escaped mortal peril. Whats this ce? How did you escape? Crocell was full of doubts and shock. Looking at the opposite Long Haochen, he couldnt help but ask, as in the meantime his hands separated, letting a long de appear in between them. ck mes lit his long de, and in the meantime, twisting undtions surrounded visibly Crocells body. Facing the enemy that had countered his own Clear Visions Godly Pull, he was extremely wary. At the time he discovered that Crocell was teleported to the Tower of Eternity alongside him, he was also in great shock. When Crocell asked that question, he drew back very swiftly, then the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon appeared in front of his chest. Opposite to Crocellsplete reaction of puzzlement, Long Haochen already guessed the truth of the matter from the current situation and the previous circumstances. I didnt escape but countered your move. Long Haochen replied coldly, and from the powerful aura released by the enemys body, he could determine that hes a demon god. Just before, he seemed to have been beside the demon god leading the enemies. Long Haochen still remembered Crocells appearance from that time. One could only admit that this demon god had very handsome looks, with the addition of the six wings on his back making him look even more captivating. Crocell had already calmed down, and wasnt impatient to attack Long Haochen, Its another space? Since you have the means to teleport here, you must naturally have the means to teleport back. Bring me out, and Ill spare your life. Stalling for time was to his advantage. Crocell was terrified of this space, but being after all a demon god expert at the psychic attribute, he had some understanding of this ce. He knew that to be able to go through a spatial travel of this extent, Long Haochen surely had a kind of spatial key. By grabbing that spatial key, he naturally couldnt return back to Shengmo Dalu. But the most important was the psychic internal injury he had sustained. He couldnt see through Long Haochen, especially after his release of the Divine Snail Shield. With his current injuries, he didnt have theplete confidence of being able to get away in one piece after killing Long Haochen. As such, he spoke to stall for time, and giving himself some time to recover. The enemy was after all only at the eighth step, so he had the full confidence of being able to kill Long Haochen after recovering partly from the psychic internal injury. Back then, thest ranked Snake Demon God was already as cunning as a fox, to say nothing about the forty ninth ranked Crocell. Although he still didnt have a domain, his cultivation was thoroughly at the ninth step. Spare my life? What a pity, I have no ns to spare you. Long Haochen ridiculed him. Like Crocell was scheming against him, the same happened on his side. Long Haochen was now extending his senses fully, making an all-out effort to determine Crocells level of cultivation. The enemy was without a doubt at the ninth step, but great differences existed between different powerhouses of the ninth step. Crocells previous deep blue spit of blood couldnt be faked, and was a clear proof of wounds. However Long Haochen didnt know about the intensity of his injury. The inside of the Tower of Eternity was like Long Haochens main grounds. He was now determining the gap of strength between the two of them, and thus wouldnt rush into battle. In front of Crocell, Long Haochen was disadvantaged in terms of cultivation, but he had his own aspects of superiority. First, he was fully confident in preventing Crocell from connecting with his demon god pir. A demon god having lost his pir was like an ordinary powerhouse of the ninth step and no more. Secondly, the enemy was wounded, and no matter to what extent, at least he wasnt in good condition. And from his powerful mental force, his injury should be on the psychic side. Facing a powerhouse of psychic attribute, Long Haochen wasnt afraid in the slightest. Even the twelfth ranked Emo-demon god Sytry had suffered the bacsh of her own forbidden spell. In a fight of the eighth step against the ninth step, maybe he could really leave this demon god here forever. Thinking of that, Long Haochens heartbeat couldnt help but elerate. Should he fight the demon god in a duel? Although he had killed the Goblin Knight Seere, both Seere and Andromalius were still demon gods of the eighth step. Although they could temporarily reach the ninth step thanks to their demon god pirs, there was still a difference between the ninth step and that.?Can I really win??Long Haochen didnt dare affirm with certainty, but already made his decision to give it a try in any case.

Chapter 566: Such a swarm?(I)

Trantor: GravityTales Seems that Next Chapter is not redirecting this one properly so here is the link to the next chapter # Hearing Long Haochens words, Crocell raised his eyebrows, and contrary to expectations, smiled, Young knight of the eighth step, youre attempting to challenge a mighty opponent of the ninth step? I know what you are thinking, that I cant have the assistance of my demon god pir here, right? Even so, how could you be a match against me? You have only one option: to serve or to die. Saying that, Crocell raised the long de in his right hand, and the pitch-ck edge of his de wasunched at Long Haochen. This de wasnt moving very fast, but the instant it struck out, Long Haochen only felt as if locked by Crocell, and couldnt avoid the blow no matter which way he tried to evade. Crocells eyes had already turned deep blue. The Demon God of Clear Vision was not just talk: in time of battle, his Clear Vision Technique had crucial uses. It was able to create decisive opportunities against the enemy, as well as predict his next moves. Under those conditions, his attacks were undoubtedly very effective. None of the seventy-two demon gods was a simple character, whether in strength or intelligence. Crocells attack aimed at intimidating as well as probing. He was unclear on Long Haochens precise level of cultivation. Long Haochen drew back slightly, and his body abruptly traced an arc, wielding the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon with both his arms. _Biing._ A resonant buzzing sound spread out on the whole first floor of the Tower of Eternity. Both Long Haochens feet slid backwards, only stopping on the edge of the tower. As the Divine Snail Shield spread glitters of intense orange light, Long Haochens body shed in light, as the surroundings shook continuously under the shes of different colors. After bearing this attack, Long Haochens face was covered in astonishment. Indeed, he sensed that Crocells internal spiritual energy seemed just above a hundred thousand, definitely not reaching the second rank of the ninth step. But even at such a level of cultivation, relying on Divine Obstruction actually turned out to be totally insufficient. His body still glowed with the light of Bright Vengeance (the ability formed along with Divine Obstruction to reflect some damage back to the enemy), but the Soul Binding Chains light also spread. In other words, he had been wounded. Although they werent deep, despite the Divine Snail Shields defense and damage sharing with the others, he still sustained some light wounds. From this could be seen the dominance of Crocells strength. Little fly, you dare show such insolence. Crocell didnt stop at that. After the first strike came off smoothly, the long de chopped at Haochen, drawing a pitch-ck brilliance onto the sky, which aimed straight at Long Haochen like a bolt of thunder. _His des edge seems to be using an ability simr to Spiritual Hignd_ , Long Haochen determined instantly from the first blow. What he didnt know at all was that in the demons ranks, every demon god without his own n certainly had far a less influential strength, but the Demon God Emperor encouraged them, frequently giving them the priority for some powerful equipment. Therefore, individual demon gods hadparatively better practical fighting strength. And although the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocells strength was ranked rather low among the individual demon gods, he couldnt possibly have obtained the forty-ninth seat without sufficient strength. He was a real powerhouse of the ninth step and furthermore had the Clear Vision Technique at his disposal. If his cultivation reached the point of being able to unleash a domain, maybe he could rank among the top thirty-six. In this probing, Long Haochen immediately suffered a loss. However as a gods chosen one, he naturally couldnt let himself continuously suffer losses. Seeing the second attack of the enemy arrive, Long Haochens figure strangely disappeared without warning nor trace. _Bang._ Crocells attacknded directly on the Tower of Eternity, causing a series of buzzes, he couldnt help but nk out. Even with the Clear Vision Technique, he actually couldnt tell out how Long Haochen had gone off. Long Haochen obviously couldnt possibly teleport himself back to Shengmo Dalu. A time of adjustment was required before teleporting back, and besides, he could absolutely not leave Crocell here by himself. Otherwise, if he explores and finds out about the deep secrets of the Tower of Eternity, and manages to obtain something, things could be a real pain. In a sh of light, Long Haochen reappeared in his previous location, and this time, the hill-sized five-headed Haoyue was alongside him. Outside from the teleportation to the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen also had his blood contract pact with Haoyue. In the battle against Crocell inside the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochens greatest reliance was the possibility to show his full abilities without any worries. Even if he didnt manage to kill Crocell, thetter still had no way to escape the Tower of Eternity. Groar Haoyues five heads snarled together, and deep purple intent rushed forth from him, shrouding the opposite Crocell. Immediately, the previously proud looking Demon God of Clear Vision lost his head as if facing a monster, already full of shock. Youre... Youre... Immediately, he became unable to finish his sentence. Long Haochen obviously understood that the opponent had recognized his identity. Recovering the Divine Snail Shield he pointed his right hand forward and immediately let golden light surge out from him. Yating charmingly appeared in front of him, and in her hands were held up two heavy swords. Master. Yating bowed slightly, holding the two heavy swords out before Long Haochen. Long Haochen took up the Aria of the Goddess of Light and then Blue Rain Hibiscus of Light. Immediately, his manners made an earth-shattering change, with mighty sword intent bursting from him without reserve. His aura was far greater than before. Youre _that_ human... _that_ human!! Crocell stabilized his posture after drawing ten or so meters back. He tenaciously stared at Haoyue, bursting with great fury. Immediately, he became totally unable to maintain his precious calm. The demon gods seeded each other through many generations, but not all memories were passed between them. The stronger the demon god, the more of the past memories hed inherit. Thats how the Demon God Emperor could immediately speak out Haoyues other name, but this forty-ninth ranked Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell couldnt tell it outright. But his engraved instincts were still present. Although he couldnt say Haoyues identity, he had a deep, threatened feeling that came out, alongside an extremely great fear. Last time, when Long Haochen vanquished the Goblin Demon God Seere, he immediately had Haoyue transform into armor and merge with his Golden Foundation Armor, but he hadnt had time then to observe to observe Haoyues changes. He only had felt that Haoyue was a lot more powerful, but giving another look, Haoyues stature had already surpassed fifteen meters, and his aura became more substantial. Faintly, a unique imposing demeanor wasing out from him. Based on Long Haochens senses, the current Haoyue hadnt yet broken through the ninth step, making him inferior to Haochen, roughly reaching the peak of the seventh step. But his aura at the peak of the seventh step could actually instill such a fear to a powerhouse of the ninth step such as the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. Why was that? Long Haochen tried to ask Haoyue many times about the issue in the past, but thetter avoided the subject every time, sometimes looking clearly at a loss, as if unable to recall it himself. Furthermore, at the time he had followed Long Haochen, he had only one head, and gained his second one with the help from Haochens blood. How could such a small Haoyue know so many things already? In Long Haochens guesses, the real threat to the demons was very probably Haoyues ancestor. And the same goes for the ones from his own world. In other words, Haoyues species was very strong, and he would definitely keep growing stronger in the future. Thats Long Haochens judgement, therefore making it natural that Haoyue wouldnt know about his own such circumstances. Haoyue now had five heads of different elements; being light, fire, wind, water, and poison. Of his five heads, Little Light was the central one, its neighbouring ones being Little me and Little Wind, and the outer ones Little Blue and Little Purple. The five heads looked at Crocell with cold gazes, faintly leaking out an aura of hatred. Just like the demons seemed terrified when running into Haoyue, Haoyue showed an intense hate in front of the demon gods. Could they have an innate blood enmity? Long Haochen didnt understand this even one bit, after all, Haoyue wasnt a being from this dimension. So how could he show such hatred to the demon gods? It could be estimated to be a badpatibility engraved in his genes. On his thick neck Haoyue had another protruding area. This bulge was extremelyrge, and ording to Long Haochens knowledge, one reaching to this point could break at anytime, followed by another evolution from him. Perhaps it would give birth to a sixth head. Haoyue let out another low roar, letting out a dense fighting intent. He was seeking to fight and wanted to rush straight at Crocell. Of course, Long Haochen didnt let him do that. Haoyue was after all still only at the peak of the seventh step. If the enemys attack inflicted heavy damage on him, Haochen would regret it greatly. After a short time of soul-boundedmunication, Long Haochen soared high, leaving Haoyues back. Yating still remained at the same area, and started to chant. Long Haochen didnt summon Star King here. The Tower of Eternity was filled with an intense aura of death, and he was unwilling to let it influence him. But was it really that Long Haochen didnt have other forces than Haoyue and Yating at his disposal? Of course not: although unwilling to utilize this force, he came to have restraining fears after the previous disy of strength Crocell showed. Therefore, he didnt dare show any reservations. Chapter 567 - Such a swarm?(II)

Chapter 567: Such a swarm?(II)

Four rays of light lit sessively on Long Haochens chest and shot out. The blue and yellow raysnded on his back, while the red and green one covered his two sides. Imposing auras surged out from them: these were the four powerful holy guards: the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth. Due to Long Haochen not proceeding to enter deeper in the Tower of Eternity, the four holy guards didnt undergo any evolution, and still retained a cultivation at the seventh step. But the assistance from the four powerhouses, especially with their personal expertise, gave Long Haochen a considerable help. Is that considered ganging up? Long Haochen suddenly had this queer thought. Haoyue, Yating, the four Holy Guards, and Long Haochen himself. That was the entirety of the forces at his disposal. In itself, these were already close to ordinary membersposing a king grade Demon Hunt Squad, and a considerably strong one at that. Crocell gradually calmed down from his state of terror, finally feeling a threat to his life. Long Haochen wasnt frightening, the four holy guards werent even given a look, but Haoyues appearance made him lose his head. A thin golden fog rose in his surroundings, Storing Power. The orange glint of the Golden Foundation Armor rose immediately, and in Long Haochens hands, the Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light projected their own brilliance as well. With the support from the Golden Foundation Armor, Long Haochen had a strong backup of spiritual energy, and spent almost no effort to undo the seal on the Aria of the Goddess of Light. At the same time, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light let out its greenish-blue brilliance as equipment of the epic tier. The orange and greenish-blue colors didnt harmonize perfectly, but carried an extremely dazzling look alongside the golden color released from Long Haochens body. Haoyues fiverge heads eyes were filled with thin fluctuations of purple intent, as those nine purple lines atop Haochens head started to light up. Haoyues right foreleg inclined to the right side, letting out a loud bang as itnded onto the ground. His whole body embedded itself here like a boulder, and on his fiverge heads, five different colored radiances kept rising. More terrible, they were not only focusing on the offense. From Little Light, Radiant World was directly used on Long Haochen. The other heads were visibly preparing for other magic, as those other four heads swayed lightly. Crocell being the demon god of Clear Vision, even if he was even more afraid than that, he knew that he couldnt keep waiting. If the enemy was let to prepare his attacks, he would face an unavoidable death. Filled with great will to survive, Crocell yelled and rushed forward just like a dark blue bolt of lightning. pping the six wings on his back, he went directly for Long Haochen. Crocell could of course tell out that Haochen was the core of these enemies. As long as he could be killed, the others would be no threat. The same even went for Haoyue, as he could sense the existence of a contract between them. Two de projections wereunched, not at Long Haochen but at the twelfth and tenth holy guards. The Demon God of Clear Visions locking ability could hardly be avoided by these two. Crocell didnt even look them in the eye. An ice-cold dark blue radiance burst out from his eyes, directlyunched toward Long Haochens eyes. A mental attack! Being a demon god of the psychic type, mental magic was Crocells field of expertise.And as his cultivation reached the ninth step, a mental shockunched by him could sometimes even burst the enemys head. Long Haochen didnt attempt to dodge. Crocells most fearful aspect was his ability tond all his attacks by relying on Clear Visions Godly Pull, giving no chance of escape. Haoyues heads roared simultaneously, all eyes colored in intense purple intent. At the very moment, Haoyue and Long Haochen seemed almost to be joined as one. As the purple light in Haoyues eyes shed, Long Haochens both eyes also turned purplish-gold colored. The four holy guards immediately responded to Crocells two des. Being left without a way to perform dodging maneuvers, the four holy guards were greatly suppressed. But even so, they had their own means. Two icy-blue radiances came out from the eleventh staff,nding on the two ck de projections. The spiritual hignd-like projections obviously were stopped by such a simple magic, but it slightly dyed their arrival. Right at that time, two thick earth walls appeared in front of the twelfth and tenth. More formidably, its appearance was followed by a great change. In the blink of an eye, it changed from earth walls to earth spheres, at least three times thicker than the walls used to be. In the meantime, the tenth and twelfth holy guards drew back very rapidly. The Tenth Holy Guard had basically no worries at all. Speed was his greatest field of expertise, so although the enemys attack was unavoidable, at least he could extend the time before the collision by increasing their distance. On the other side, the Twelfth Holy Guard struck his de on the ground to propel himself backwards at great speed. Bang, bang. The two earth balls were destroyed at the same time, but this time, the great mastery of the Ninth Holy Guard became fully visible. Turning into spheres one after another, they blocked the way of attacks of the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. When that spiritual higndized energy reached the two holy guards atst, it was finally stopped by tworge and thick ice walls. Relying on their great magic control, the ninth and eleventh guards did their utmost to help the other two stop this strike. But even so, when the tenth and twelfth stopped the residual energy of the attacks, it still shook the whole Tower of Eternity unto the edges. From this could be seen how powerful the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell was. A powerhouse of the ninth step was truly a terrible thing for opponents of a lower level. However, Crocell actually suffered a loss. The mental shock attack heunched from his eye didnt have the slightest effect uponnding on Long Haochens purplish-golden eyes. It was as if a shield had been erected outside Long Haochens eyes, forcibly stopping its way. In the meantime, the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand slowly struck. This attack from Long Haochen was very slow. The umted sword intent, released at the des tip vanished gradually, as an orange brilliance was taken in and sent out from the tip, faintly releasing multicolored golden light. Indeed, under the effects from Long Haochens Spiritual Hignd and his sword intent, the Aria of the Goddess of Light reached its state approaching the divine tool stage. This was obviously not only due to his increased cultivation, but more importantly thanks to the benefits brought by the fallen meteor nurturing the two heavy swords. Yating having fused with the Saint Spiritual Stove, had the best nurturing force. She integrated the fallen meteor into the two swords through the Saint Spiritual Stove, increasing their quality all along,though that upgrade was still unfinished. As the heavy swords gained in quality, the fallen meteor was increasingly more used up, so the nurturing couldnt be kept up for much longer. However this was something that Yating didnt yet have the time to inform Haochen about, but even so, these two swords easily reached the epic tier level, especially Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which used to only reached its premises before that. As he used his two des as support while rushing forward, letting out crisp and clear sounds, Crocell absolutely didnt dare receive this strike from Long Haochen with his body. Right at this time, the image of a six winged angel appeared behind Long Haochen, closely adhering to his back. Immediately, it sharply increased the brilliance released by his two swords, while Long Haochens mental force became unable to restrict the terrifying sword intent umted inside the swords. This was a light spell of the eighth step, serving as supporting from Yating, zing Angels Kiss. This ability has considerable boosting effects, definitely ranked among the best light elemental spells of the eighth step. It enables Long Haochens gathering speed of light essence to increase, while turning all his spiritual energy into spiritual higndized state for a duration of thirty seconds. In other words, the ability zing Angels Kiss directly turned Long Haochen into a powerhouse of the ninth step for thirty seconds. Its boost wasparable to Star Kings Star Domain, with the only difference being that Star Domain couldst for a long time. Bang. In a single sword versus dual swords, Long Haochen stumbled three steps back, and Demon God of Clear Visions charging stance was stopped forcibly. Long Haochens sword strike was terminated, but overwhelming sword intent kept gushing out from his body frantically, to the extent that Crocell was not even able to chain a next attack due to the trembling cold reaction of his whole body. Still, the des in Crocells hands had considerably terrible spiritual higndized energy umted. Pushed back, Long Haochen was also unable to follow-up. But no matter what one could say, he managed to stop Crocells charge head-on. As the battle was just getting started right now, four of Haoyues heads spurted out four magic spells, attacking Crocell. Little me had sprayed a fire dragon, aimed straight at Crocells body, and Little Green released wind des forming a hurricane, enveloped around the fire to form a fusion of wind and fire. Little Blue and Little Purple alsopleted a pair ofbinatorial spells. An bluish purple spear elevated itself in midair without a sound. As Crocells surroundings were covered by the wind and fire, this bluish purple ray shot without a sound, aiming for the top of Crocells head. Getting Haoyues backup, Long Haochen crossed his swords in front of him. His whole bodys force was poured inside the heavy swords, as their spiritual energy reached the peak. Immediately, the heavy swords shook lightly, letting out more and more brilliant glows. Their rich and powerful radiance increased as the sword tip retracted gradually. Long Haochen was simply forcefully stifling the leaking sword intent from the boost of zing Angels Kiss back inside the swords. Chapter 568 - Such a swarm?(III)

Chapter 568: Such a swarm?(III)

Trantor: GravityTales The Aria of the Goddess of Light looked like an orange gtin dessert, brilliant and full of allure. And Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, was like a dark green jadeite, full of vitality and lustrous like a nascent bud. A dense golden fog kept rising anew, and intense golden mes instantly ascended onto the golden fog, as Long Haochen was exerting his whole strength. Due to facing Haoyues attack, Crocells strength seemed as if suppressed. All his abilities lost about a fifth of their efficiency, and he looked extremely prudent. Pointing both his des in opposite directions, one to the sky and the other one to the ground, dark blue radiance reappeared in his eyes, spreading out from within. Then he started spinning in the same ce, turning into a ck pir of light colliding against those two spells. The gap of cultivation manifested without a doubt. The fire and wind whirlpool was first destroyed, as the extremely sharp fire dragon was totally unable to make its way inside the ck pir. Then the ice spearunched at him was dodged in a sh, leaving no trace at all. The ck light vanished and Crocell staggered backwards. On his left shoulder had appeared a faint dark purple trace, and his left arm was slightly bent down. Haoyues attack unexpectedly dealt some damage to him. This felt really incredible, that at the peak of the seventh step, he could actually wound the Demon God of Clear Vision of the ninth step. The other three spells were actually covers for Little Purples attack. Little Blue wrapped ice around it, transforming it into water in a split second. Although merely a drop had made it past Crocells defense, its terrifying paralysing poison was enough topletely benumb the left arm of a powerhouse of the ninth step. Demon gods have very high resistance against poison, but Haoyues poison was visibly out of the ordinary. Due to the paralyzing poison, Crocells arm would need some time to return to normal, in other words, to fully dispel the poison. But Long Haochen remained unmoving, still using Storing Power. The ones attacking next were the four holy guards. Crocell had a sudden heavy feeling, as a sparkling and translucent brilliance shone above his head in the shape of a diamond-like spear. In the meantime, an icy blue ring instantly enveloped his body, blowing up immediately. It produced an extreme chilliness as a red and a green figure took advantage of that opportunity to rush to him suddenly,unching offenses almost frantically. But right because of the effect from Haoyues poison, Crocell managed topletely calm down. Haoyues attack certainly inflicted some damage to him, but also made him realize that the creature he feared to such extent was actually far from his own strength. And under these circumstances, he disyed fully his strength as the Demon God of Clear Vision. In a disadvantaged situation, the calmed down Crocell was unconditionally fearful. Stomping heavily onto the ground with his left feet, he released a ck ray from inside his body, forcibly destroying the eleventh ice ring and slowing down the Diamond Spearunched at him. Then the de in his right hand struck with an efficiency reaching the maximum. A de projection wasunched, covering 270 degrees, aimed at Long Haochen, as its peak coincided to meet with the Diamond Spear. And as if the six wings on his back came alive, they blocked the tenth and twelfth holy guards offenses from behind. The brilliant golden light that met with the ck arc turned into thin droplets. Thats the fate Long Haochens Light Thorn, which served as response, suffered. Thats when Yating made her second move. This time, after intervening, her face became quite pale. The strain for a light mage at the premises of the eighth step tounch a spell able to block the attack of a powerhouse of the ninth step was just that great. Tears of the Goddess of Light was a single-targeted spell of the eighth step that Yating could use because of relying on Long Haochens aura as the Scion of Light. Furthermore, as an ability at the supreme peak of the eighth step, this technique was already close to one step above her capabilities. Crocells attack was not only stopped, but the de in his arm was marked with a golden trail which was dissolving his darkness elemental spiritual energy at a frantic speed. Dont forget that inside the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen has another advantage, which is his supply of spiritual energy. This ce couldnt supplement any elemental essence of other attributes than light and darkness. At the start of the battle, Crocell wasnt too aware of that, but as the battle followed its course, he felt that something was amiss. In other words, that the spiritual energy he consumed wouldnt be replenished. But dont think that in a situation where spiritual energy cannot be supplemented, a prolonged battle would be to Long Haochens advantage. Crocells attacks were unavoidable, and the four holy guards were not of much use in front of him. With the capability of the Demon God of Clear Vision, theres no way he would be unaware that his spiritual energy was not refilled. In case he reaches his limits, it will undoubtedly drive him to desperate actions, putting his life on the table without fear of bacshes. So Long Haochen had to increase his power level to a sufficient level before hed be driven to such actions. _Ding._ The Diamond Spear was instantly smashed to pieces, but Crocells actions paused slightly. The spells from the four holy guards and Yating were just for the sake of stalling for time for Long Haochen. Such minor creatures dare stand in front of me with such impudence! Having been blocked consecutive times, Crocell was truly infuriated. Narrowing his eyes, he abruptly shot out a dark blue ripple from his head, aimed at attacking the four holy guards. The instant this dark blue glinting ripple appeared, the four holy guards immediately had frantic looks, turning suddenly into four bolts of light which disappeared, assimted by the Tower of Eternity. But even so, the bolts they transformed into dimmed a bit in color upon encountering that dark blue ripple. As Crocell was in battle with Long Haochen at the time the four holy guards appeared, he didnt pay too much attention to them. But very rapidly, he found out that they were actually undead creatures supporting powerhouses souls. As a demon god of psychic attribute, he is the nemesis of undead creatures. The force of all undead creatures originate from the soulfire. But his psychic magic is the most expert at extinguishing such soulfires. Thest psychic attack was a cmitous threat in the eyes of these four. Their soulfires were far from able to resist in front of Crocell, so they immediately escaped such an extreme situation. Otherwise, if their soulfires were lost, they had no chance of being resurrected. A jadeite glow extended everywhere the eye could see, like a mix of rain and fog. A figure abruptly came bursting out from within, releasing purpling golden glosses. And the mountain-like Haoyue disappeared all of a sudden. Armor transformation and fusion: Long Haochens greatest fighting mode. With only Storing Power, Long Haochen was still not at the ninth step. Only by relying on Haoyues armor transformation could heunch sword blows with sufficient power to reach the standards of the Demon God of Clear Vision. At that very moment, the enemys right hand still hadnt dispersed the paralysing effects on his left arm, and confronted Long Haochens attacks with only one hand. That mix of rain and fog was the ability Demon Wiping sh, which was invented by Long Haochen. Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light carried a great breath of life, enveloping each of Crocells possible escape routes. _Cant you predict my next actions? Right, lets meet force with force._ The long de in Crocells left hand was lifted,unching nine de projections through the sky, which gathered together with the longsword and collided with an ear-piercing sound. The two of them shed only once, but Crocells body was hit with three of Long Haochens blows, which left three small bloody holes. On his left shoulder, dark blue blood was flowing, falling to the ground letting out some ringing sounds. Though, this didnte without a price for Long Haochen. Crocells powerful nine-des-in-onended once onto his armor. However, the now pinkish-golden, transformed, Golden Foundation Armor came back to normal after getting only slightly sunken for a bit, without triggering the effects of the Soul Binding Chains. Crocell narrowed his eyes, setting his drooping left arm into motion. He purposely let Long Haochens attacksnd for the sake of hitting him and because of the poison in himself. As blood flowed, he had recovered some feeling in his left arm. Haochens attacks didnt stop at that. As the two of them separated, his left feet tapped towards the ground, as he turned into a purplish golden sh of lightning, once again rushing at Crocell. On his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light burst forth with a dazzling splendor beyondpare, and ayer of translucent orange colored spiritual higndized energy covered the sword. In the sky, a shing line was traced toward Crocell. Lightning sh plus Asura Strike! In his left hand, Blue Rain seemed to have faded away, as its dark green luster vanished gradually. But it vaguely seemed even more threatening. In Crocells eyes appeared a trace of panic, due to having determined through Clear Vision Technique the move Long Haochen was nning, because it would be hard to resist. After fusing with Haoyue, Long Haochens strength was already sufficient to sh head on against him. Long Haochen couldnt let time drag on, but Crocell was also unable to recover his spiritual energy here! So it would be hard to guess whod win. Raising the longsword in his right hand, Crocell suddenly turned illusory. Eight illusory images came out and dispersed from him, each having exactly the same physical appearance. _Dang!_ With a violent shing sound, Crocells body was immediately pushed away by the spiritual higndized energy infused Aria of the Goddess of Light. It seemed to want to fuse with these sorts of doppelgangers, but right at that time, a dark green gloss shed by. Crocell only had the time to hit that dark green gloss with a knock of the longsword in his right hand, but only crooked its angle a little. Swinging his body with all his force, he could only twist his body with all his strength,doing his utmost to avoid taking damage. Asura Strike wasunched through Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light!

Chapter 569: The Demon God of Deep Visions Parasitic Body (I)

Pop.?Dark blue blood fell down from therge scars on Crocells side. A demon gods external spiritual energy was certainly great, but against the attack of a weapon of epic tier, his defense was insufficient to guard him from being wounded. But although Crocell sustained some damage, he still smoothly escaped. The other eight clones were holding him, and as each of them was simr, true body blended in with them before they quickly separated and rapidly departed. Long Haochen narrowed his eyes, snorting in disdain. Suddenly shutting his eyes, he executed a swinging motion with the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand, as a red glow flew out from it, shaped like a sort of eye. In the meantime, a golden figure appeared on Long Haochens back, linking with him. In the meantime it shot a white ray, and the red glow went chasing after one of the nine Demon Gods of Clear Vision thus sifting the one from the many. You forgot that knights have an ability called Lock, and the so-called Saint Spiritual Stove. Long Haochens resonant voice reverberated through the Tower of Eternity. That red light very rapidlynded on Crocells body. And then, that white ray turned into a bridge between Long Haochen and him. Stamping his right feet against the ground, Long Haochen burst out once again, this time shining with a scarlet light. He was already sensing that the time of his fusion with Haoyue was passing very fast, and that this ultimate form could not be maintained for many attacks. He had to kill the enemy within a short span of time, otherwise his only way left to him would be to escape. Sacrifice, an ability that Long Haochen had not used for a long time, was finally employed. With great surprise, he found out that the same Sacrifice ability this time carried a far more powerful amplification than the former times. This was due to the increase of his external and internal spiritual energy. And with the increased toughness of his body, more of histent capabilities as gods chosen one came out. The Sacrifice ability also carried great stimting effects on him. The Aria of the Goddess of Light, and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, both let de projections burst out. The condensed spiritual hignd made them look no different from real des, and the terrible spiritual energy led the two divine swords to let out light buzzing sounds. A resonant dragon chant could be heard from above Long Haochens body. He didnt pay attention to the other eight clones and put all his focus on the demon gods main body. A golden light dragon rushed out. The two divine swords were like the two dazzlingly shining eyes of the dragon. Retribution Knight ability, Ascending Dragon Strike! As Ascending Dragon Strike looked about to hit Crocell, the nine clones had twisting facial expressions. Immediately, the effects from Lock and the Saint Spiritual Stove used by Long Haochen alongside Ascending Dragon Strike suddenly changed direction, aiming for a clone on theteral side. Bang! The nine of them being one, Crocell staggered back. Although his eight clones didnt manage to puzzle Long Haochen, he swiftly shifted his main body in thest instant, containing Long Haochens attack to some extent. Even so, in Sacrifice mode, Long Haochen was far too powerful. The superposition of his various boosts could only be described as terrifying. By chance, Crocells left hand had already regained its ability of movement at that time. Although it felt stiff inparison to the right arm, one more arm was always good to have in such a battle. Dodge, sh. Long Haochens offense broke out instantly: as hisprehension in the sword intent gradually deepened, he was already assimting his sword intent into his technical abilities. Used through his two ultimate holy swords, any ability gained a really terrible power. Two Shining Sr Strikes followed, one orange, one greenish-blue. Two ardent miniaturized suns could be seen appearing in midair, just like meteors catching up with the moon, about tond on Crocell. Crocell gripped his pair of longdes with full force. Dark blue glows mixed with his darkness elemental spiritual energy, taking the shape of a thick sort of shield serving as an extension of his des, glowing in dark blue. Bang, bang?As two violent explosions sounded out, Crocell drew back, feeling as if electrocuted. On each of his two longdes, arge gap had appeared in the middle. The boundless sword intent surging out along with his spiritual energy left drizzles of deep green and orange on his body. Crocell raised his head, and spouted a mouthful of dark blue blood in front of Long Haochen. Inside his blood were mixed arge amount of orange and dark green spiritual energy, producing puffing sounds in the air. From that spurt of blood could be seen the destructive power held by Haochens sword intent. It was already invading Crocells body. Long Haochen was not so kind as to spare the enemy at this point. His purplish golden figure stuck close to the ground as he kind of glided, chasing after Crocell in a sh. His des were waved up together tounch Demon Wiping sh, shooting countless light rays towards Crocell. The demon gods face was already very pale. With an angry shout, his body crouched down abruptly, and then, a pitch-ck ray burst out from his forehead, covering his body like a dome. In the midst of a session of ear-piercing sounds, that dome became in a disastrous state. But mystically, it maintained the same shape, except that it was now tattered, and Crocell abruptly rushed out from inside, sweeping his longde with full force at Long Haochen. In Crocells capacity as the Demon God of Clear Vision, he obviously could see that Long Haochens extraordinary state couldnt be maintained for a long time. Therefore, all this time he stayed on the defensive, only trying to drag it out: Long Haochen would inevitably copse at some point. But he very rapidly found out that such a method wont do. A totally passive defense let Long Haochen disy his offensive prowess, which he actually couldnt resist. Therefore, after using a secret technique to resist Haochens Demon Wiping sh, Crocell immediatelyunched a counteroffensive, using attack as his best defense. But as Crocell expected to counterattack, he didnt expect Long Haochens next move. Originally about to keep attacking, Long Haochen suddenly sprinted backwards, turning into a stream of light. Even when used to retreat, Lightning sh reached an enormous speed. And just like that, Crocells attacknded on the air. With a resonant dragon cry, a deep green gigantic dragon rushed out from Long Haochens left hand. Still in the middle of his attack, Crocell didnt have the time to adapt to that, and the series of attacks from Long Haochen pressured him far too greatly. And, due to getting locked by Long Haochen, he was not even able to evade. In an intense explosion, Crocells pair of longdes were fractured. Although they didnt reach the epic tier, they were not far from this boundary. But Long Haochens series of attacks destroyed them, inflicting Crocell with great pain. But a weapon was after all a weapon. Even if broken, the des still had a half of their original size. So Crocell didnt throw them away, and transferred his energy inside to try to get out of the predicament before his eyes. The force of impact from this dark green gigantic dragon caused the Demon God of Clear Vision to once again spurt blood. This time, to his horror, the gigantic dragon wrapped around his body, causing him to be unable to move for a moment with a powerful binding force. Dual Binding Dragon of Light and Rain, the ability attached to Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. After waiting patiently for this opportunity, Long Haochen finallynded a decisive blow. After the series of blows and impairments, Long Haochen believed that Crocell would not have enough strength to stop hisst attack. His two swords separating to his sides, Long Haochen breathed deeply. Hisst bits of spiritual energy in Sacrifice mode instantly gathered in a mixture of deep green and orange colors, abruptly gaining in brilliance. Instant st Crosscut! Instant st Crosscut was a really ordinary ability among those of the Retribution Knights that he learnt. But when used it through the two divine swords in his hands, it turned into something deep, something magical, letting the two swords match harmoniously. This was the first time Long Haochen had such effects when using it. In the past, he had tried to use all his abilities alongside his dual swords, but as a matter of fact, his temporarily current level of cultivation was the minimum required to reach a perfect level of harmonization between Instant st Crosscut and the two divine swords. Two dazzling light rays glistened at the same time, filled with powerful spiritual hignd mixing in the air. Just like a heavenly music, it reverberated in the air. The Aria of the Goddess of Light, and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light harmonized once again, scattering the dark blue light. Just like the first ray of morning light illuminating the horizon, water and light became one, spreading their breath of life. This strike seemed to be seeking the origins of the mysteries of life. The unhurried blue light was integrated fully into Instant st Cross Cut, piercing lightly into Demon God of Clear Visions chest. Along with the increase of his strength and gain inprehension, Long Haochensst strike became far more advanced than all the previous ones. Crocell, who used to be struggling with his whole force, suddenly came to a stop. His look turned sluggish, then Dual Binding Dragon of Light and Rain, or rather it should now be called Binding Jade Dragon of Light and Rain, slowly let its binding loose. Bang!!!?Countless blue dots of light burst out from within Crocells body. The light of dawn came out, lighting the darkness in a sh, and scattering and shing his whole body. Right at this time, thepletely out of strength Long Haochen fell to the groundpletely ruined. Haoyue also came out from him, immediately returning to his own world. Yating also entered Long Haochens body. His ultimate state had been maintained for so long, with Yating providing boosts all this time. The pair of divine swords in Long Haochens hands had already lost all their gloss, and he didnt even have the strength to put them back inside his own body. But Long Haochen didnt look more rxed because of seeing Crocells body burst. On the contrary, his expression became filled with intense shock. You didnt expect that, right, human? Crocells voice sounded full of ridicule. From his tattered body came out a body only half a meter tall. Right, because Crocells aura hadnt disappeared, Long Haochen didnt let down his guard. The current situation went totally out of his expectations. Crocell clearly died, but howe a miniaturized version of him appeared? Chapter 570 - The Demon God of Deep Vision’s Parasitic Body (II)

Chapter 570: The Demon God of Deep Visions Parasitic Body (II)

Only a half meter tall, that figure also had six wings at its back. His head was awfullyrge, nearly seeming to be half his whole body, and the top of his head was covered in sparse yellow hair. His eyes were pale white, and his limbs very small. As for the body, it contrastedpletely with the enormous head. His yellow teeth let off a stinky smell, and dim ck fog unceasingly rose around his body. On his body were at least a dozen deep scars where the bones were visible. The huge head was even crooked to a bad angle, making visible the squirmingrvae-like nerves within. That was a really nauseous sight, especially his voice which turned extremely hoarse. It was like listening to a crow. You Long Haochen looked nkly at this unidentified creature, speechless for a moment. The small nasty creature let out augh, Im the Demon God of Clear Vision. Or more urately speaking, this is my real body. Within the seventy-two demon gods, my strength isnt much, but my ability of survival is definitely among the best. What you killed was only my parasitic body. Speaking of which, nurturing this one parasitic body was really difficult. I had needed to find the perfect human body to fit my satisfactions. Afterwards, I used up several years to thoroughly upy it. Furthermore, I had expended great efforts to transfer over ny percent of my strength to the parasitic body. However, that time of trouble was really worthwhile. At least I got such a perfect body and a second life. Your previous ability was really terrifying, possibly able topare with the top thirty-six demon gods. Unfortunately, it only killed a parasitic body. From your voice, you should be quite a young one. I hope you have handsome enough looks. As you have just used the Sacrifice ability, surely you must find it difficult to lift even one finger. Quickly take off that mask for me to see. If I am satisfied, although your soul will be erased, at least your body will be one with me. That will be your greatest honor! Reaching this point, Crocell couldnt help butugh out loudly. But hisughter was extremely grim and merciless. He hated Long Haochen bitterly: raising a parasitic body was extremely difficult, yet that one was destroyed. To recover his original strength, hed need at least five years. And even so, his vigor would plummet greatly, recovering it would necessitate a total of ten years. So now that Crocell had theplete advantage, he wasnt hurried in the slightest to kill Long Haochen, but wanted to torment him. He wasnt going to leave the matter at that. Long Haochen seemed very afraid, and slightly trembling. Letting go of Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, he raised his hand slowly, taking off his mask. At the very moment, he indeed found it strenuous to even lift his hand. His fusion with Haoyue and Sacrifice ability both heavily consumed his strength, and he was already at the end of the line. Yating and Haoyue seemed to have entered deep slumber in a weakened state, and the four holy guards didnt dare appear in front of Crocell. Now, he seemed to have reached a dead end. Taking off the mask was quite difficult, and it revealed Long Haochens pale, but iparably handsome face. Scion of Light was a perfectly suited title. Originally, the face of the Demon God of Clear Visions parasitic body was already handsome, but differed by agespared to Long Haochen. Be it in terms of looks or demeanor, it was an earth-shattering gap. Seeing Long Haochens handsome face, Crocell was dumbfounded. His previous rage immediately turned into ecstasy. With his Clear Vision force, he naturally could see that Long Haochens body was a hundredfold higher quality than his previous parasitic body. His manner and body are so perfect! If I can take him as my own parasitic body, then maybe the need for five years of effort is worth it! As Crocell was close to dancing and gesticting for joy in excitement, a sparkling orange bolt was shot at him without warning. That orange radiance reached such a magnificence that it seemed close to a rainbow in the sky, instantly running through Crocells head. His look of excitement abruptly turned lifeless. After swaying a few steps back, he toppled to the ground. What pierced his head was exactly the Aria of the Goddess of Light! The elegant radianceing out from this divine sword was the imposing orange luster of the epic tier. Long Haochens body directly fell to the ground, paralyzed and gasping with his mouth openingrge. The Golden Foundation armors front pieces were already full of sweat, and at the very moment, he was weak to the extent of being unable to lift a single finger. But his eyes were still unwaveringly fixed onto Crocells body, until a dark blue crown came out from within his body. At the time it flew out frantically to the side, Long Haochen finally loosened his breath. The appearance of the Demon God Crown meant that the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell was finally dead. Your prowess actually went beyond my expectations. Truly deserving to be called one of the seventy-two demon gods. Long Haochen said with a sigh. He was unable to move, but could still speak. This previous battle caused him an intense emotional stirring. Although he didnt sustain heavy wounds, the level of danger even exceeded the time of Caiers awakening as a gods chosen one. At that time, Haochen could at least control the time of their departure through the Eternal Melody. But right now, he was really at the end of the line. Crocell was really too vicious. His body was actually a parasitic carcass, with the true body hidden inside. At the crucial timing, it was able to escape from within, which was something Long Haochen absolutely didnt expect. No one, not even those other demon gods knew about this ability of Crocell. When Long Haochen saw Crocell remained still alive, he truly became quite desperate. He could sense his strength at that time: the death of the parasitic body weakened him enormously and his main body sustained damage as well. In terms of spiritual energy, Crocell reached at most the seventh step of cultivation. Having lost 90% of his strength, he was extremely weakened. In particr, his body had degenerated very seriously due to parasitizing anothers body, his external spiritual energy havinge close to 0. But such a Crocell was more than enough against Long Haochen in a state weakened to the extent of being unable to move at all. In this crucial moment of life or death, Long Haochen calmed himself down to the greatest extent. He knew that he had only one chance, which would be his truest chance. Crocell rxed because Long Haochens body state had totally loosened. With his ability as Demon God of Clear Vision, he could totally see through Long Haochens state of weakness, which is why he didnt stand on guard in the slightest. Long Haochen took off his mask to create the best opportunity for himself. Although Crocell was at that time in a very weak state, in case hisst attack was resisted, he had no chance of living on. His overdrafted and exhausted spiritual energy already left him without a way out against the enemy. He didnt even dare teleport out: in such a weak state, if the Eternal Melody performed a teleportation, it may possibly cause time-space to tear his body to shreds. Indeed, as Long Haochen expected, Crocell needed a new body after losing his previous parasitic one. At the time he saw Long Haochens looks, his surge of excitement made his vignce at the lowest. This was just the time Long Haochenunched his attack. Holy Floraison, a powerful amplifying ability of Retribution Knight. Through his mental force, Long Haochen separated Holy Florison in two, one part for arousing the Aria of the Goddess of Light, and the other one to serve as his driving force. Thats how he pierced through Crocells head, finishing him off in one blow. Where did Holy Floraisone from? At the very moment, Long Haochen was extremely thankful for Sheng Yue. This ability was indeed stored thanks to the ability Raise Flowers Into Trees handed down through Sheng Yues family in the Assassin Temple. Long Haochen had it stored for a long time already, for a possible time of need. Raise Flowers Into Trees also had restrictions as a too powerful ability couldnt be stored, otherwise it would risk wounding his body. Holy Floraison was the most useful ability Long Haochen could choose. It came with a massive cost of spiritual energy, and serving for movement and strength amplification, was possibly able to catch the enemy off guard. So therefore, Raise Flowers Into Trees was the ability he stored inside his body in normal times. He didnt expect today to be the day that the ability stored thanks to Raise Flowers Into Trees would save his life. Crocells ultimate trump came very promptly, but the fact he didnt choose to directly kill Long Haochen was a grave mistake. This victory was very lucky, Crocellsst plot was at the verge of sess. Recalling about the previous move, Long Haochen was still full of lingering fears. The seventy-two demon gods are indeed not such easy opponents! Thats only the forty-ninth ranked, how about the higher ranked ones? What was the extent of their capabilities? Long Haochen still remembered very deeply about the feeling of helplessness he had in front of the Demon God of Death Saminaga. If not for Saminagas unfortunate encounter with the Tower of Eternity, he could very well be already dead. Pondering about that painful experience, Long Haochen slowly shut his eyes. His bodys overdraft needed time for recovery, and the same went for the spiritual energy in his body. Crocell having already died, he had plenty of time to recover. As for that Demon God Crown, how far it could run is a wonder. This ce being the Tower of Eternity, no living being could escape out of his own will without Long Haochens teleportating ability. Unless that Demon God Crown could reach the level of divine tool, it didnt have the slightest chance. Therefore, Long Haochen wasnt worried in the slightest. Just let it hit a wall sooner orter after escaping in great hurry. Resting for a full half hour, Long Haochen finally had the energy to stand. Taking a few Physical Force Recovery Pills made by Lin Xin, he once again returned to the state of cultivation to recuperate his spiritual energy.

Chapter 571: The Demon God of Deep Visions Parasitic Body (III)

One had to admit that the Golden Foundation Armor could stand at the epic tier without qualms. During this period of rest, Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor transformed arge amount of light essence into spiritual energy. At the current time, he just got started cultivating, and was immediately able to transfer arge amount of spiritual energy to supplement his own body. A short timeter, over 30,000 spiritual energy was back in his body. It was just that due to his state of weakness, he still needed a period of rest. With a leap, Long Haochen stretched his body with force. Although the state of weakness was ufortable, his joy from ughtering a demon god put him in a very good mood. The Demon God of Clear Visions Demon God Crown was still running around in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, but all darkness essence was dried up, to the extent that not a speck of a single bloodstain remained around his body. The Tower of Eternity even distributed arge amount of light essence toward Long Haochen to absorb. Speaking of it, it was also a winner. The soul of a demon god was a great gift for the tower. Not in a rush to grab that Demon God Crown, Long Haochen shut his eyes, and connected through his blood contract to Haoyue. Thetter was already on the verge of evolving. If he could gain the energy from the Demon God Crown, it would surely be extremely beneficial for his evolving process. In a purple sh, Haoyue reappeared inside the Tower of Eternity. Because of the previous fusion he had with Long Haochen, he had an extremely tired expression. Haoyue, you can absorb it. Long Haochen pointed at the Demon God Crown in the sky. Haoyues fiverge heads were immediately filled with excited looks. Little Light raised his head, and puffed a thin purple light toward the Demon God Crown. Immediately, that crown running amok calmed down, and was absorbed in front of Little Light in the blink of an eye. Little Light opened his mouth wide, swallowing it inside. In the meantime, Haoyue spread these thoughts to Long Haochen, Master, I cannot absorb it for the moment. After I recover to my optimal state, Ill need your help. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind his words. After making a breakthrough, Haoyue needed his protection. Having learnt the lesson from the previous experience, Haoyue contained himself, at the very brink of evolving, trying to cut down the time of evolution to the greatest extent. But it was still dangerous to a certain extent, which is why having Long Haochens protection was naturally the best. Okay. When my strength is replenished, I will immediately help youplete your evolution. Haoyues five heads were rubbed against Long Haochen softly. Right at that time, Little Lights golden eyes immediately had a look of amazement. Hisrge heads gathering together towards Long Haochen opened their mouth and stretch forward pink tongues. Long Haochen thought Haoyue wanted to lick him and immediately stepped down with augh. But very rapidly, his expression changed into surprise, seeing a sparkling and translucent gem in Little Lights mouth. Inside it, faint dark blue waves were twinkling. This is..? Long Haochen gave Haoyue a puzzled look. Little Light didnt reply immediately, murmuring some incantation. A trail of lightnded on Long Haochens body, and in a flicker of light, the tired Yating was pulled out from Long Haochens body by the trail of light. Haoyue had such an ability??Long Haochen was surprised. Seeing Haoyue, Yating still had some fears, but she very rapidly eimed upon seeing that gem on Haoyues tongue. Are you giving this to me? Thank you Haoyue! Yating took the delicate stone in her hand without reservation, excitingly moving close to Little Lightsrge head, and giving a kiss to his forehead. Because of his light attribute, Yating was the closest to Little Light among all Haoyues five heads. Yating, whats that thing? Long Haochen asked in surprise. Yating replied, Should be that previous bad guys. Huh, Im really itching to assimte it. Master, can I? It seems to be able to arouse the evolution of the Saint Spiritual Stove. Long Haochen was in exultation, Then you should assimte it as soon as possible. So Crocell actually left such a good thing! Long Haochen had great lingering fears for that ability Clear Visions Godly Pull. If the Saint Spiritual Stove could gain a simr kind of ability, it would without doubt greatly enhance his groups future operations in demon territory. Yatingughed happily, Thank you master. After that, she immediately changed into a flickering light, disappearing back inside Haochens body. Haoyue nodded to Long Haochen, changing into a purplish light rushing to his own world to have a rest. On the verge of a new breakthrough, he needed to raise his body to the optimum state. Long Haochen once again called out the four holy guards, having them tidy up Crocells body, then had eleventh freeze the corpse. Out of fear for hisrades worry, he couldnt tarry any longer. Bringing Crocells corpse along, the Eternal Melody flickered with golden light. Southeastern Fort. At this moment, the atmosphere in this one of the Six Great Forts was visibly somewhat strange. The demon armies already retreated, only leaving outside the fortress arge amount of corpses, a lot were those of humans, but mostly they were fromdemons. Like in the previous battles, the Southeastern Fort should at that time sweep through the battlefield. But today was not the same: the sky was already dark, but the fort was brightly lit. They had enough forces prepared for that, but didnt show the intention of sweeping through the battlefields. The demons circumstances afar off were also quite delicate. Their army was already withdrawn, but the eight demon god pirs didnt move locations. Still twinkling brilliantly, the group of seven demon gods under Paimons lead was sticking close to their own pirs, looking at the Southeastern Fort from afar. The two parties were standing opposite from afar, no one showing the intention of withdrawing. This scene followed because of the joint disappearance of both Long Haochen and the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. At that time, when Crocell had activated Clear Visions Godly Pull on Long Haochen, the Warrior Temples Head Qiu Yonghao became aware of the bad situation and immediatelyunched a full force attack from the Temples powerhouses at the demons. Qiu Yonghao already guessed Long Haochens identity, and couldnt help but strike with full force. In case Clear Visions Godly Pull seeded, Long Haochen would be immediately surrounded by the eight demon gods, which was almost a route of certain death. But when he led the Warrior Temples powerhouses to meet the seven demon gods head on, he discovered with shock that Crocell had disappeared from their ranks. Making the association with the light from Clear Visions Godly Pull that previously came to sight, Qiu Yonghao was immediately confused, because Paimon also looked to be at a loss. Therefore, as if the two sides hade to an agreement, the demons withdrew their armies, and Qiu Yonghao led the Warrior Temples powerhouses back into the fort, immediately inquiring of Wang Yuanyuans group. They would obviously not tell him about the Tower of Eternity, only expressing that Long Haochen had a powerful teleporting equipment, which resonated strangely with Clear Visions Godly Pull, giving birth to that unexpected scene. The details were omitted. Because of the link through the Soul Binding Chains, Wang Yuanyuan and the others sensed that Long Haochen was still in safety at the current time. But he was very possibly battling the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. Thats the forty-ninth ranked demon god, so they were all in great states of impatience! Fortunately the vitality sharing didnt keep persisting, so they could only wait in anxiety. An unexpected turn of events was undeterminable. After Qiu Yonghao reflected carefully, he naturally wouldnt retreat like that. Han Yu only called that Golden Foundation Knight Provisional Saint Knight Head and didnt mention Long Haochens name, but the efficient Qiu Yonghao became even more certain of his guess. The demon gods were the same. Crocell had disappeared alongside the enemy knight, and as the Southeastern Fort was not shrouded in darkness, they could watch even more clearly than the humans. Also, they could only wait without any information on the situation. Time passed minute after minute. Paimon asionally turned his head toward Paimons demon god pir, only to see it flicker without pause, in total stimtion. This meant that Crocell was fighting, and in a ce where the demon god pirs force couldnt be borrowed. As long as the demon god pir was still lit, Crocell was surely still alive. The Angel Demon God Paimon and Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell had very good rtionships. And in particr, he was the one who instructed him to use Clear Visions Godly Pull. Extremely anxious, he knew that Crocells fighting prowess wasnt much, but he valued very importantly his special ability. With the assistance from Crocells Clear Vision Technique, they could be saved from much effort be it regarding the deployment of their army or discovering enemies surprise attacks. As the two sides became more and more anxious as they kept waiting, waiting for the confirmation that their own side is alright, a change happened. The shes of the demon god pir of the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell suddenly elerated, at a violent frequency that attracted both parties attention. Qiu Yonghao opened his eyes wide. What he feared the most was to see Crocell return safely, Long Haochen having died inbat. Or maybe that Crocell would appear alongside Long Haochen on the demon side. So he already transmitted to the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple the order of being prepared at anytime for another rush. Paimon was also astonished. His thoughts were exactly the opposite as Qiu Yonghao. The severe fluctuations of the demon god pir proved that Crocell was having a tough battle. But as it was happening in another space, he had no way to help. The demon and human atmospheres became very strained, and right at that time, the demon god pir of the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell suddenly lit up with full brilliance, a gaudy light that could be perceived clearly even from the Southeastern Fort. The other seven demon god pirs immediately hid behind their own brilliances. Thats Right when Qiu Yonghao was prepared to go at anytime, that suddenly shing demon god pir went extinct instantly and without warning. All light disappeared from it: it seemed to have be a totally ordinary st. Chapter 572 - Haoyue’s battle for evolution (I)

Chapter 572: Haoyues battle for evolution (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Seeing the Demon God of Clear Visions pir losing all its light, the two sides momentum changed fiercely, and their powerhouses were all lifeless. After a short time of dull looks, the Angel Demon God immediately found that inconceivable. He absolutely didnt believe a Golden Foundation Knight to have actually killed Crocell, even if he had lost a great deal of force due to using Clear Visions Godly Pull. He had his own reserves and should have rather ended up without suffering much damage. Golden Foundation Knights were ordinarily only at the eighth step, so what if thats one at the ninth step? Crocells strength was very clear to his eyes. Relying on the Clear Vision ability, it was almost impossible for him to be defeated by an opponent of the same cultivation, unless the enemy had his own domain. But in the previous battle, he could tell that Long Haochen was certainly a knight of the eighth step. On the other side, Qiu Yonghao also had a look of unbelief, but the difference from Paison was that his unbelief was mostly filled with nice surprise. After so many years fighting against demons, he obviously knew the meaning of a demon god pirs light going extinct. That meant the death of the bound demon god inbat. This was simply the best news they could get! For a moment, Qiu Yonghao couldnt help but exim loudly, The Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell has died inbat! Having received this notification, the whole Southeastern Fort immediately turned into a sea of pleasure. The cheering sounds rose and fell in session, and although the warriors were extremely tired, their spirits were roused by the news. And for a moment, the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple were all filled with excitement. Only Long Haochensrades werent able to smile at the situation. The Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell was certainly killed by Haochen, but Haochen had yet to be transported back! If not for the fact that the connection to him through the Soul Binding Chains was still present, and that he didnt show more traces of receiving wounds, theyd be even more anxious. Now they could only keep waiting. After a short time of total unbelief, Paimon gradually calmed down. One can well imagine what a blow a demon god pirs extinction was for the demons. At this time, even to make reprisals, this wasnt a good timing for attack. He could only give the order of retreat. Only then did Qiu Yonghao give the order to sweep through the battlefield, as the battle was temporarily over. But the demons and humans enmity grew only deeper. Qiu Yonghao rushed in flight to Wang Yuanyuans side, asking in low voice, Hes not back yet? Wang Yuanyuan nodded, Looking at the situation, Provisional Saint Knight Head should be alright. Only, he could return at anytime from now on, so we should wait here for his return. Their time of waitingsted for a whole hour. Then the area where Long Haochen disappeared in shing light lit up, and he appeared while carrying Crocells corpse. Only then did the rest of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad really cheer. Conveniently handing Crocells corpse to Lin Xin, he respectfully greeted Qiu Yonghao, Provisional Saint Knight Head, Twelfth Golden Knight greets Temple Head. Qiu Yonghao let out augh, As one of us, why are you standing on such ceremony? Do you think I cant recognize you because of this golden mask? I really didnt expect you to grow so fast. I really regret having not forcefully kept you here at that time! If he couldnt recognize this Saint Knight Heads identity after hearing Long Haochens voice, hed have lived over a hundred years for nothing. Long Haochen replied a bit awkwardly, Temple Head, you are regarding me too highly. Qiu Yonghao looked at the frozen corpse in Lin Xins hands, Did you really kill the Demon God of Clear Vision by yourself? Long Haochen showed a bitter smile, It couldnt be considered a duel. Only, thats one of this juniors secrets. Qiu Yonghao replied, Okay lets forget about these matters for now. Just have a good rest in our Warrior Temple for now, and then Ill hold a weing reception for you guys. To say nothing about Long Haochens original favors from the Warrior Temple, and how Qiu Yonghao regarded him as important, the huge contribution he made on this day in his capacity as Provisional Saint Knight Head made Qiu Yonghao receive him personally. Compared to the Mage Temple, the Warrior Temple weed Long Haochens group a lot more warmly, arranging an excellently furnished residence for them. Qiu Yong Hao even personally led the higher-ups from the Warrior Temple to hold a weing dinner a day after Long Haochens rest. In practice, the mission mentioned in the letter from Long Tianying handed from Long Haochen to Qiu Yonghao was alreadyplete. Killing a demon god of the ninth step such as Crocell brought him a million contribution points. And Qiu Yonghao wasnt stingy: as Crocells death was regarded very important by the Warrior Temple, he specially rewarded him with 500,000 contribution points. At the current time, even Long Haochen had lost the count of the contribution points stored inside his tile. But he could be certain that this was an astronomic number. Already three demon gods died one after another from his hands, and the zing Lion Demon Andromalius death was closely rted with him. This could be called a matter of luck; but also a matter of strength. The death of one of the seventy-two demon gods in battle and without retrieval of his Demon God Crown would be a loss that cant be regained for ten years. This was really a direct blow for the demons. After killing the Demon God of Clear Vision, Long Haochen asked himself if the contribution he had made for the Southeastern Fort was sufficient, and concluded that they could immediately leave from the Southeastern Fort to keep gathering the others. But Long Haochen was not hasty at all, because he had another important matter to handle before that, and this matter would require focusing his time on recuperating first. Maybe it was because Crocells death inflicted high damage on the demons, but they seemed to have ceased and didnt keepunching attacks. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. In these seven days, Long Haochen came to experience the terror of the technical ability called Sacrifice. This ability gave him the strength to defeat Crocell, but simrly, he was weakened enormously and took seven days to regain his vigor. Experience in fighting demon gods being extremely important, Long Haochen meticulously narrated to his team the whole process, including Zhang Fangfang in the group. Wang Yuanyuan informed him of how much Zhang Fangfang sacrificed for her. This captain having lost his Demon Hunt Squad could be said to have gained theplete trust of Long Haochens group. Zhang Fangfangs circumstances were not the same as Li Xin as he was now all alone in this world. Being a knight, he could call himself carefree, so after discussion, Long Haochen decided to temporarily let him into the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Although it exceeded the Demon Hunt Squads limitation, this was a choice Zhang Fangfang made on his own. Long Haochen just had to not report to the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower about this special aspect of their team. He had no worries on the side of the Knight Temple either, as he was now a Provisional Saint Knight Head who could transfer a Temple Knight to follow him without needing to report to anyone. Is everyone ready? Long Haochen looked at the others standing beside him. At this time everyone was fully d in martial attire. Having gone through a week of rest, Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang were already fully recovered. At this time, she was in great spirits and her cold murderous spirit vanished. Compared to two years ago, her cultivation, determination and body had all matured. Zhang Fangfang was rather introverted. His calm disposition was something Long Haochen himself concluded that he didnt have. After all, due to the difference in age, Zhang Fangfang had even more solid foundations. In response to Long Haochens question, everyone nodded. At this time, they formed a circle around Long Haochen, prepared to be thrown into battle at anytime. Long Haochen dered, Haoyue is about to undergo another evolution, very possibly giving birth to a sixth head. Although the previous evolutions went very smoothly, we still cannot lower our guard. Lets start. Confirming the others eptance, Long Haochens eyes flickered in golden light, activating the Eternal Melody, and leading everyone inside the Tower of Eternity. Then he transported himself through his blood pact with Haoyue. That day when he battled the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, Long Haochen found out that Haoyue was already on the verge of evolving. With the progress he made thanks to Crocells Demon God Crown, he surely would have no trouble evolving. But at that time, he could sense from Haoyues feelings that this times evolution wont be as smooth as the time his fifth head came out. Thats why Long Haochen temporarily stopped at the Southeastern Mountain Pass, so that his strength recuperated totally. The first concern was to help Haoyueplete his evolution before nning their next move. Without need for an exnation from Long Haochen, hisrades understood the importance of Haoyues evolution. To say nothing of the close rtionship between Haoyue and Haochen, his ability to destroy demon god pirs alone was like a killing weapon in the hands of the 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad. In a sh of purple light, Long Haochen reappeared in that world of darkness and mes. Haoyue was, like before, inside a cave, and Long Haochens arrival made him extremely excited. His fiverge heads immediately expressed their affection, and the pair of huge wings on his back spread out. As his body becamerger, Haoyue became visibly bolder and more powerful. Although his cultivation was merely at the peak of the seventh step, Long Haochen had the feeling that Haoyues true force was far from something so simple. Haoyue, have you finished making your preparations? Long Haochen rubbed Haoyues heads as he asked. The five heads led by Little Light nodded, full of excitement, but seemingly quite nervous. Be at ease, I will do my utmost to protect you well! Long Haochenforted him. Haoyue transmitted a thought to Long Haochen, asking to be brought outside the cave to undergo his evolution. Although this was strange, Long Haochen didnt ask much. Haoyue must have his own reasons to do that. Chapter 573 - The Battle for Haoyue’s evolution (II)

Chapter 573: The Battle for Haoyues evolution (II)

Coming out from the cave, Long Haochen couldnt help but sigh faintly. It was as if there was no daytime in this world of darkness and mes. The muddy atmosphere made him not dare to breathe directly. Erecting a Holy Mantle, he covered himself inside. The air was quite warm, and looking far away, one could discern some twisting light. Haoyue didnt seem to mind the vile environnement. Slowly crawling out from the cave, his fiverge heads were lifted up together, looking ahead. Opening his mouth wide, he engulfed that muddy air, as if cultivating by absorbing the airing from here like that. In shes of light, hisrades were summoned beside Long Haochen. They immediately took formation: Long Haochen, Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuan were guarding the four sides, with Lin Xin inside and Caier directly vanishing gradually at Long Haochens side. Haoyue, you can begin. Theres no time to lose, the earlier they are done, the faster they will leave from this world. A dark blue colored radiance floated out from Little Lights opened mouth; that was the Demon God Crown left by the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, which simply floated in front of Little Light. A drizzling purple brilliance started to be liberated from Haoyues body. This time, it was not merely his thin purple intent, but a substantial purple radiance. This purple radiance was only seen when Haoyue destroyed Andromalius demon god pir before. Five purple glints were shot at the same time from Haoyues five heads to that Demon God Crown. Immediately, an exploding sound followed, and that Demon God Crown burst instantly, bursting out with arge expense of dark blue fog. Little Light, Little me, Little Green, Little Blue, and Little Purple absorbed this fog in the air like a whale, engulfing it thoroughly. In the meantime, an extremely imposing purple radiance burst out from him, as the already swollen immense bulge on his neck squirmed violently at once. Raah.?Haoyues five heads roared to the sky and immediately, that dense purple radiance on him turned into an immense pir of light shooting to the sky. The surrounding polluted air became like snow encountering boiling water, dissolving all around, making the surrounding line of sight clear. After that purple colored pir of light shot to the highest location, it started to shift rapidly, tracing circles in the air, and forming a purple hexagram. Immediately, the thick purple pir abruptly divided into five parts, equally poured into every angle of the hexagram. Pop? Haoyues bulge split open, and a brand newrge head came out, blossoming along with a purple pir immediately aftering out, thetter shooting at thest one of the six angles on the hexagon. Never before did such an odd scene ur in Haoyues previous transformation. The purple hexagon, having its six angles filled with purple light, immediately erupted with an iparable purple gloss, just like suddenly forming a purple sun in the sky. This gave the feeling that all the world that came to his eyesight became covered with purple intent. No wonder he needed toe out to achieve his evolution. So this evolution of Haoyues is actually so imposing? Theres no way the undead creatures from this world wouldnt notice. Haoyues tail was slowly sticking up. Being the nearest to him, Long Haochen could clearly hear the bones inside his body make ringing sounds. These cracking bones followed a precise rhythm, and as Long Haochen felt all his bones heat up, the purple intent on his forehead spread out a dazzling brilliance. Haoyue and him were closely linked through the blood pact. When such immense change happened in his body, he had an intense reaction. Perceiving the changes in Haoyues body, Long Haochen also immediately understood why he would want to make this bizarre purple hexagon. To Haoyue, this should be an energy absorbing formation. Having gained his sixth head, his energy was insufficient toplete the whole process of his evolution. He needed to absorb the sort of special energy from this world toplement his own andplete his process of evolution. As expected, under the illumination from that purple hexagon, miniscule starry purple particles appeared, immediately gathering toward the hexagonal formation. At the start, Long Haochen still found the scene blurred, but very rapidly, these purple particles umted, gathering from all sides. A shocking change followed. Arge amount of purple electricity revolved around the six purple pirs, just like an immense coiling dragon taking shape around the purple hexagon. This fantastic energy was transmitted to Haoyues body through the formation. hu The purple glint on Haoyue started to be increasingly more intense. His wide body didnt keep expanding, but the scales on him were evolving under a purple illumination. At the time of going through his fifth heads evolution, Haoyues scales turned into a dark purple color. But this time, his scales evolved to a look close to amethyst. Every scale became fully rounded, gradually revealing three corners on the upper surface. Every single scale gave off a magnificent feeling. The horn from Haoyues six immense heads spread out the glints characteristic of their own element. That newborn sixth head was shining in yellow color, looking a bit close to a cracked tomato. The inside seemed to emit a reddish brown colored light. Earth element! Haoyues sixth head was without a doubt of the earth element. The appearance of this head enabled Haoyue to have all the fundamental elements at his disposal. Water, fire, earth, and wind, together with light and poison. Long Haochen had suspicions that Haoyues next head could maybee out with the darkness element. That way, the six great elements would be all gathered. On one side, Long Haochen observed the changes on Haoyues body, and on the other side, he spread his senses afar, to get a grasp on everything around. Han Yu also summoned his Demonic Eye, or rather, it should now be called a Demonic Eye Commander. As the Demonic Eye grew in bulk, its ability also swelled. However, at the time he saw Haoyue, he couldnt help but withdraw to Han Yus side. As heforted him, he appeared quite gentle. This time, Haoyues evolution didnt erge his body further, but seemed instead to make it shrink. His original mountain shaped body gradually made an odd change, his form close to a lizards turning closer to a form of dragon, with a less swollen look and much more dignified. Adding that to the purple crystal-like scales, he gave out an indescribable feeling of beauty. The purple color in the sky started to became more and more intense, but Long Haochens look became more serious as it came. On the basis of Haoyues sudden appearance, making such a big move, the undead creatures from this world should react only faster. But until now, they hadnt shown any trace of movement, as if they hadnt sensed his existence at all. This only made Long Haochen feel a greater pressure. Faintly, he seemed to sense an earth-shattering mighty aura gradually taking shape. But his mental force was unable to tell whether this pressure came from a real being and from whence it came. Time passed minute after minute, and the changes on Haoyues bodypleted gradually. The immense purple hexagon in the sky still kept absorbing the purple colored light in all directions to supplement it to his body. Haoyues evolution caused Long Haochen to perceive a fantastic change. He felt the spiritual energy in his body rise, progressing at a slow speed but as that awe-inspiring feeling came out of Haoyues body, the same change happened on him. In particr, the purple colored patterns on his forehead gained in brilliance, as his eyes turned into the exact same purple-golden color as Haoyue. Long Haochen discovered that the Golden Foundation Armor, Divine Snail Shield, and Eternal Melody he had on him, which all reached at least the epic tier, started to lightly shake as Haoyues aura spread out from his body, as if acknowledging allegiance to him. The clearest feeling was from the Divine Snail Shield. Slowly raising his left hand, he found out that even though he hadnt any spiritual higndized energy stored, the Divine Snail Shield unexpectedly spread out some multi-colored light, the brilliance of a divine tool! Haoyue, ah Haoyue! You are actually such a formidable existence! Your evolution seems to be causing evolutions in my own body. Long Haochen understood that after this evolution from Haoyuepletes, his own strength should rise to a whole new level. The advancement of his spiritual energy was secondarypared to the fantastic changes of his physique. In fact, from being originally a gods chosen one, the Scion of Light, his physique already surpassed by far ordinary people. If such a physique was still upgraded further, one might well imagine how formidable Haoyues existence was. Long Haochen faintly sensed that Haoyues original power was even a level above Caiers and his own constitutions as gods chosen ones. Of course, this was merely a guess. Long Haochen attempted to ask Haoyue before, but thetter remained silent every time so he never got a reply. Long Haochen always saw Haoyue as a good brother, and thus never forced him to do anything. But even so, curiosity rose in his heart. He could ept any circumstances of Haoyues, but curiosity couldnt be nonexistent. Right at that time, Long Haochen felt what he had senseding through. Far away, the scene became deep purple colored. At the start, Long Haochen still believed this to be that fantastic purple intent absorbed by Haoyue, but he rapidly found out that tout that that wasnt the case. Thats because this atmosphere of purple was not merely a hint of light, rather, it resembled the dawn rising towards them. Chapter 574 - The Battle for Haoyue’s Evolution (III)

Chapter 574: The Battle for Haoyues Evolution (III)

Trantor: GravityTales After the appearance of that purple light followed an overwhelming pressure. After it came, the world outside the range of the hexagonal formation released by Haoyue became tinted in deep purple. Even the magma inside therge cracks on the ground was no exception. Long Haochen let out a cold gasp. Just what level of strength was that? He faintly sensed that this enemy about to appear would be even more powerful than the greatest powerhouse he had encountered in the battlefield before, Demon God of Death Saminaga. And thats when thetter uses the power of his demon god pir. An existence of this level ought to be the ruler of this world right? Under great shock, Long Haochen calmed down contrary to expectations. He shouted full of seriousness, Prepare the Cojoined Spiritual Pills! Yes. The others replied in chorus. Everyone was experienced and knowledgeable Demon Hunters. Since Long Haochen sensed the great power of the enemy, they could naturally sense it as well. Lin Xin handed a Cojoined Spiritual Pill to Zhang Fangfang, while the others each took out one. This was thest resort killing move of their 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad, that they had yet to use after reaching the sixth step of cultivation. The improved Cojoined Boosting Pills of Lin Xin were even more powerful than in the past. It not only provided them with the Cojoined Spiritual Boost, but even amplified their total spiritual energy further, whileing with less secondary effects. After all, the materials to make theseter new batches of Cojoined Spiritual Boosts were mainly gotten from Fiend Demons of the king grade, and naturally beyondparison with what they had used before. The deep purple color grew in intensity, and a long indistinct sigh spread in the air. The massive oppressive force instantly reached its peak, and immediately, a figure made its way in the sky. Right, only one enemy came. She had a sweet build, floating in the air, looking like a human. Enveloped in a long cloak hiding even her head, she had a deep purple staff in her hand. That staff looked like a long bone, shining purple on its two ends. Long Haochen took a small stride forward, and the others gathered behind him. In the meantime, a golden light separated from his body: it was Yating, delivering the two divine swords into Haochens hands. After that deep purple figure appeared, it didnt immediatelyunch an attack at them, but shifted its eyes to the hexagonal formation erected by Haoyue. Slowly lifting her hand, she chanted in a very sweet-sounding voice, sounding feminine. But thatnguage was totally unfamiliar to their group. Take the pills and follow me! Long Haochen made a low shout, and was the first to take his Cojoined Spiritual Pills, while instantly releasing the four sets of golden wings on his back. In a sh, his figure soared in midair. All the others took their own pills almost simultaneously, following Long Haochen into the air. Long Haochen, Caier, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, Zhang Fangfang, and Han Yu: the six of them along with Yating soared high. The Demonic Eye was following at Han Yus back, its tentacle wrapped around Han Yus waist as if carried by him. Han Yu could sense that at the time this figure appeared from the sky, the Demonic Eye Commander started to shiver violently. These were unstoppable shivers, arising from an intense fear that was spread continuously to Han Yu through their contract. She was definitely a powerhouse of the ninth step, and absolutely not an ordinary one. Han Yu was secretly astonished, but didnt warn Long Haochen. He could feel that Haochen naturally sensed that as well, that this battle will be an incredibly difficult one. His pair of heavy swords were pointed at the sides. Long Haochen made the others form a direct line in the sky, and everyone behind had their hands ced on the shoulders of the one in front. A massive spiritual energy started to pour inside Long Haochens body. The Aria of the Goddess of Light, and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light started to burst out with gaudy spiritual hignd energy, shining conspicuously in orange and green. The others didnt find out, but outside of Long Haochens pure light essence, an extrayer of a thin purple halo took form, making him look even more imposing. Very rapidly, Long Haochen arrived along with the others in front of the cloaked enemy, right between Haoyue and her. Remaining silent, Long Haochen waved the swords in his hand. Crossing his swords to wield Instant Burst Cross Cut, the most powerful offensive ability currently at his disposal. With the backing from hisrades Spiritual Gathering Boost, Long Haochens spiritual energy rose to 100,000 in a few blinks of an eye. Adding that to the Golden Foundation Armors boost, the total of strength he could utilize already reached the highest peak it had ever reached in his life. And furthermore, Haochen found out that no matter how spiritual energy kept pouring in him, he didnt give off signs of overload. Whats more, two faintly forming spiritual cavities on him actuallypleted their transformation at that instant. In other words, Long Haochen had now opened a total of seven spiritual cavities. Opening spiritual cavities was, to any practitioner, an extremely challenging yet important matter. The opening of these two spiritual cavities immediately gave him a feeling of sublimation. The epic tier lusters blooming from the two divine swords condensed in the air, and a dark blue light ray immediately flew straight at the cloaked enemy. Having gone through these two years of tempering, the four Demon Hunters really could, after joining hands, match the power of a demon god below the top thirty-six. _Ding._ A resonant buzzing sound came out in midair from that enemys left hand which was extended from her gown. That was a slender, slim, womans hand, describable as sparkling like white jade. In fact, this was the most beautiful hand Long Haochens group had ever encountered. But that hand like white-jade was really extremely pale as if extremely unhealthy, which went so far as to give off a feeling of terror. The tip of the forefinger of precisely that hand softly pointed toward that attack; the Instant st Cross Cut which was able to match the full power attack from a divine tool. Relying on that skill, Long Haochen formerly managed to kill the Goblin Knight Seere as well as Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. But at this very moment, such a powerful blow was stopped by that jade-like finger. A dark blue glint spread from her finger, and her sweet figure trembled slightly, as her incanting voice stopped. Although Long Haochens strike didnt inflict any damage on her, her incantation was interrupted. So you, creatures from another world, came back again. That cold voice spread to the minds of Long Haochen and the others, without physicalmunication. But from that, the group could clearly sense the intention from the enemy. Long Haochens shock was extremely intense. Although the enemys incantaton was stopped, she only used a single finger to block his strongest attack. Relying on the two divine swords of epic tier plus his pure spiritual energy and light essence of that moment, all he could actually do was to interrupt the enemys incantation. What absurd strength! You have Austin Griffins aura in your body. No wonder you could interrupt my incantaton. Looks like you weed him in your other realm. How courageous of you. Then Ill kill you first before disposing of him. The cold voice was full of rage, giving off a strange feeling of adorableness. If Long Haochen had remained just a bit longer at the time Haoyues third head came out, he would recognize that cloaked enemy to be one of the most powerful rulers of this world, the Lich King. Pointing the bone staff in her hand toward Haochen, a small pink blister came out and aimed straight at him. In the meantime, the dark purple brilliance on the sky behind the Lich King became even more intense, enveloping the group of six inside in an instant. An immense oppressive force came overwhelmingly, and a fierce darkness essence immediately aimed straight at Long Haochens group, filled with a deadly pressure. This ce being after all another realm from Long Haochens, he was not even able to borrow the power of the Goddess of Light. But as the gods chosen one he was, he had already produced countless miracles. The sword in his hands recovered abruptly, Long Haochen made a long hissing sound as golden mes rushed out from his body instantly, covering the whole sky in golden yellow like the sun. An iparable holy aura blossomed from Haochens body, making the deep purple radiance unable to invade into this golden area regardless of its intensity. Sacred holy light is the greatest nemesis for undead spiritual energy. Although Long Haochen didnt have a source for holy spiritual energy, this also means that holy light is precious and extraordinary in this world. Regardless of the Lich Kings strength, she was in the end an undead. In front of such pure light essence, she suffered quite a loss: her powerful domain was actually unable to deal with Long Haochen. At that very moment, that purple carbonated blister already struck in front of Long Haochen. Facing this fantastic and powerful blister, Long Haochen didnt dare show any carelessness. Multicolored golden light spread out abruptly, forming a radiance expanding over arge range, with his body at the center. Guardian Knight ability, Shield Wall. _Chi chi_ A series of bizarre sounds resounded on the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, and at a distance from it, Long Haochen could shockingly see the corroding effects of that terrifying purple blister. Chapter 575 - Wrath of the Lich King (I)

Chapter 575: Wrath of the Lich King (I)

But just as the Lich Kings domain was restricted by Long Haochen, the shield transformed from the starlight divine beast had an extreme resistance against any death and darkness magic. That purple blister didnt have a very great force of impact, but its powerful darkness element corroding effects silently withered away in front of the Divine Snail Shield. Having managed to block the enemys attack, Long Haochen took a small breath of rxation. This Lich King was certainly very strong, but seemed to be suppressed in the elemental aspect. Furthermore, due to the use of the Spiritual Cojoined Pills, Long Haochens current cultivation reached an astonishing level. His mates were all powerhouses of the seventh step exceeding 100,000 spiritual energy. Put together, the five of them exceeded a total of 600,000, and adding that to his own spiritual energy, even without Golden Foundation Armor, that made a powerhouse of the ninth step. With the supply provided by his armor, his total spiritual energy was already over 150,000. Add to that his entire set of equipment at least at the epic tier, and the Lich King wouldnt have an easy time to kill him. With a cold snort, the Lich King once again made that strange incantation from before, causing purple blisters to be unceasingly emitted from her staff. Some were big and some small, and as they flew past Long Haochen, pitch-ck twisted marks were left. On the trajectory of their flight, space was unexpectedly shredded, and this was done solely with the corrosive power of the blisters. Thats just how terrifying they were. Long Haochens eyes were glinting golden, parrying the enemys attack through the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. But, those blisters consumed his spiritual energy at a considerable speed. At this rate, he wontst for very long. Yating! Long Haochen shouted loudly. Yating and him were mentally interconnected. His most powerful spiritual stove, which absorbed a great amount of energies from her fusion with the Saint Spiritual Stove, evolved to such an extent that Long Haochen had never heard of such a thing before. The lich kings unfathomable strength reached an estimate of at least 300,000. And furthermore, in this realm, her strength was bound to be greatly amplified. Yet Long Haochen didnt know how much longer Haoyue needed to remain. At this rate, they would only be able to wait for death, so he had to think of a way to contend with the enemy. Yating kept herself flying alongside Long Haochen all the time. Hearing his call, she lifted up her golden staff. Then one could see a golden sh of light shoot out from the staff, aiming straight at the lich king. At the same time as this shooting light, a small furnace appeared faintly in front of Yating. The lich king once again extended her left hand, pointing it at this shooting light. Speaking of a strange thing, the sh of light in question wasnt affected by the pointing finger. As itnded on the lich king, one could see clearly that light tightening up around the lich kings waist, pulling her toward Long Haochens direction. Whats that? Let alone the lich king, even Long Haochens group didnt know what ability Yating was using. Actually disregarding the enemys defense to pull her in directly, even someone with the lich kings degree of power didnt manage to resist it. This sess greatly overjoyed Long Haochen. An intense multicolored light abruptly burst out from the Divine Snail Shield smashing the purple blisters one after another, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light reappeared in his right hand. Instantly, Long Haochen made himself one with the divine sword. A sharp sword intent surrounded his body, as the surroundings lookedpletely distorted. A sharp ringing sound pierced through the skies, as a glistening orange brilliance was shot at the lich king. As it turns out, in the short time he crossed hands with the lich king, Long Haochen came to understand that this enemy was simr to a human mage manipting departed spirits. Her magic was really powerful, the most powerful that Long Haochen had seen in his life. Even when relying on his Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon and a spiritual energy exceeding the count of 150,000, resisting that was very difficult. However, her magic being so strong, her physical ability would naturally not be too great. A direct attack on her body would probably be decisive. The golden light shot from Yatings staff was a powerful ability born from the new evolution of the Saint Spiritual Stove. After absorbing the gem left by the Demon God of Clear Vision, a change appeared in the Saint Spiritual Stove. Although it didnt increase the range of the Saint Spiritual Stove, and didnt gain an ability like Clear Visions Godly Pull as Long Haochen imagined, it gained an extremely special annex ability, of the same category as the Saint Spiritual Stove. As a matter of course, itpletely became part of Yating, because the Saint Spiritual Stove originally became part of her. This ability is called Absolute Foundation. Absolute Foundation only applies on the Saint Spiritual Stoves Pull ability, and as long as Yating activates it, no matter how powerful the enemy is, this enemy will still be pulled to some extent, and arrive in front of Long Haochen. This ability has a range of one hundred meters, which is to say that upon entering within a hundred meters range from Yating, the target can be pulled unconditionally. This ability of Absolute Foundation is still far weaker than Clear Visions Godly Pull, but dont forget that Clear Visions Godly Pull wont necessarily seed, and has a lot of limitations. Although this ability of Pull is limited in terms of range, it is now evenparable to a divine artifact within a range of a hundred meters. Of course, the premise is that Long Haochen can definitely win against the opponent. And furthermore, this ability gained after evolving can be activated only up to three times a day. The lich king coldly spread to Long Haochens mind the thought, Wishful thinking! Did Long Haochens divine sword strike reach out? It did reach out, however, it only struck an expanse of deep purple fog. At the time the lich king arrived in front of Long Haochen, the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove lost effectiveness, therefore thest blow filled with sword intent didnt have effects either. The lich king unexpectedly turned into fog and let the Aria of the Goddess of Light pass through. Fog transformation? No, this enemy is actually a specter-like existence! Long Haochen was greatly startled, and almost unconsciously made an instant reaction. A strong multicolored golden light was abruptly shot from the Divine Snail Shield, tond onto the fog issued from the lich king. Immediately, a mournful scream was heard. The purplish ck fog streaked over a thousand meters away at rapid speed, before retransforming into the lich kings looks. But her body was clearly unstable floating in the sky, visibly wounded. As a divine tool transformed from a Starlight Divine Beast, the shield held the purest light attribute. Indeed, without a physical body, the lich king is immune to any physical attack, but the illumination of holy light can wound her. But it requires it to reach a sufficient level of power of course. And the Divine Snail Shield had such an ability. An intense multicolored golden light travelled through the sky, as Long Haochen finally loosened his breath. Having finally wounded the enemy, he didnt chase further: the most important thing was to protect Haoyue. Looks like I was really underestimating you. The lich kings voice was even colder, and this coldness contained an extreme rage. She was far from using her full power to handle Long Haochen, because of sensing the huge gap separating the enemies and herself. She wanted to keep the most power possible to deal with Haoyue; theres no way Austin Griffin would be so easy to destroy. Having already grown his sixth head, even an existence such as the lich king didnt have an absolute certainty in front of him. But she didnt expect Long Haochen to actually be so hard to cope with. Being blessed with a spiritual energy of extreme purity and a divine tool such as the Divine Snail Shield, he really managed to hold up the lich king. At the current time, Haoyues purple hexagon started to darken in the sky. His body bing glittering. One could see his current self to be closer to a giant dragon, instead of a lizard. The six heads looked much closer to dragon heads as well, and he had gained wings simr to a dragons. His aura also became much more dignified. This evolution was about toplete before long. Even a powerhouse whose cultivation reaches such a degree as the lich king had, had a great rancor toward Haoyue, and couldnt help but feel nervous due to that. Having previously experienced the overwhelming battle from that time, she understood the terrifying nature of Austin Griffin the best. They couldnt let him escape once again after evolving sessfully. Otherwise, theres no way to know whether theyll be able to take care of him the next time. Reaching this point of thought, the lich king let out a screech after looking up, and, immediately, countless balls of light of over one meter diameter each appeared, just like a purple rain of meteors, shooting towards the direction of Long Haochens group, including Haoyue and his purple hexagon. The lich king pointed her staff forward as she chanted continuous raging incantations. In the sky started to appear series of cracks, while a ck fog rose all around her. One could see that after that ascension of purplish ck fog, the auraing out from the lich king became extremely weak. She was indeed wounded by the previous burst of multicolor golden light, having looked down too much on Long Haochen, underrating this gods chosen one. At this very moment, the lich king came out with her true full strength. Long Haochen didnt dare show carelessness. Flying backwards with hisrades at great speed, he got right before Haoyue. Being a single individual, he couldnt attend to caring for the purple hexagon in the sky, and could only focus on defending Haoyue. The multicolor golden light once again blossomed, as Shield Wall reconstructed. In the meantime, Long Haochen chanted an incantation alongside Yating. It was for Light Reflection. Chapter 576 - Wrath of the Lich King (II)

Chapter 576: Wrath of the Lich King (II)

Trantor: GravityTales He didnt know what degree of power the next attack of the lich king would reach, so preparing a Light Prayers was no mistake. That series of purple lumps was far more powerful than the blisters that came before. Not only were they extremely corrosive, they also came with terrifying impact force. While consecutively resisting a few dozen thanks to the defensive power of his Divine Snail Shield, he still continuously drew back along with the others, as the effects of the Conjoined Spiritual Boost massively went down. At that rate, the cast for Light Prayers wouldnt bepleted. Right at that time, a purple glow was shot from the hexagon in the sky,nding right on Haochen. That instant, he felt the blood in his whole body surge out, as an indescribable force abruptly burst out. This force was unrted to his internal spiritual energy, turning his whole skin into a purplish gold color. His retreating steps suddenly made a stop, as he forcibly maintained Shield Wall in front of him. This mystical force felt like external spiritual energy reaching its highest peak state. A bizarre purplish golden light also emanated from the Divine Snail Shield, as if providing a new defensiveyer to this divine-tool ranked shield. The purplish lumps projected by the lich king at the six pointed star surprisingly didnt have any effect. It only caused it to release surges of purple intent, dissolving the projectiles one after another. But right at that time, ear-splitting bellows reverberated in the air. In cracks formed by that lich king, massive figures appeared one after another. Bone dragons! Formed of pale bones, and with dark purple mes pulsing in their eyes, the bone dragons kepting out from the cracks, aiming straight at Haochen and Haoyue. There were no less than a hundred of them! And all reached the peak as undead creatures. An ordinary bone dragon could contend with a gigantic dragon! Theres a certain gap, but each bone dragon is an undead powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step. They are blessed with great spiritual force and physical ability. Perhaps the myriad abruptly appearing bone dragons could only be contended against by the Demon God Emperors Devil Dragon Legions. Long Haochen and the others couldnt help but changeplexion. Yet an even more terrifying scene followed. The purplish ck domain of the lich king epassed the area around these bone dragons, turning their bones purplish ck as well. Previously at the peak of the eighth step, they finally all broke through the ninth step. For a moment, the whole sky was blocked off from sight, and all aimed at Long Haochens group. Even after havingpleted this terrifying summons, the lich king still kept reciting incantations. She flew once again high in the sky, aiming her staff at Haoyues hexagonal structure. It looks as if her terrifying and powerful bone dragons were only aimed at stopping Long Haochens crew from interrupting her incantation. This instant, Long Haochen operated his thoughts at lightning speed,ing to a decision in a sh. To the astonished looks of the others, he took the initiative to terminate the Conjoined Spiritual Boost, and returned at lightning speed, immediately making contact five times with his palm. His palm, carrying every time a golden sh, transported Caier, Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Zhang Fangfang, and Han Yu as well as his Demonic Eye Commander back to the Tower of Eternity. That instant, the bone dragons were already throwing themselves at them. But strangely, Long Haochen stopped to focus on Haoyues defense, and abruptly spread out his four wings, bursting out with resplendent light. Lightning sh. He was flying up to the bone dragons, and sticking close to the six purple pirs of light at Haoyues side. With Lightning shs degree of speed, it took only a sh for him to reach the skies, facing off against the bone dragons at high altitude. Having lost the boost from the Conjoined Spiritual Pills, the current Long Haochen suffered a great loss of strength, leaving the ninth step. But the dexterity of his flight reached the highest level. One could see clearly that he performed extreme acrobatics in midair, sparing no cost of spiritual energy to put Lightning sh to full use, and aimed at the small gaps between the bone dragons to break through forcefully. After all, having just been summoned, these bone dragons were still a bit sluggish. Facing his approach, the nearest ones to him immediatelyunched attacks, but the overwhelming majority was dodged. Only the paw strike of one bone dragon managed tond on the Divine Snail Shield. Although the bone dragons managed to reach the ninth steps threshold thanks to the lich kings domain, thebination of Long Haochen and his Divine Snail Shield at the divine tool rank was in no way so easy to split. Moreover, after gaining thatyer of purple gold, Long Haochens external spiritual energy extraordinarily managed to immediately push away that bone dragon as his figure shed away once again, even higher in the sky. Another sh of golden light urred, gaudily heading toward the lich king. Pull. The instant Long Haochen had used Lightning sh, Yating also attached herself to his body from behind. After his series of consecutive leaps, they managed to arrive within a hundred meters of the Lich King. The orange lustered Aria of the Goddess of Light carried his sword intent at the realm of Sword and Body making one, while the Divine Snail Shield also released its strongest multicolor golden light. Now Long Haochens eyes were glistening, iparably steady and calm. Facing the bone dragon was extremely frightful, but the most terrible was the lich king, yet it was vital to interrupt this very same lich kings incantation. Haoyues state of evolution prevented them frommunicating, but Long Haochen could sense the mental changes on him. At the time these bone dragons appeared, Haoyue didnt show the slightest mental fluctuation, but when that lich king began again to chant in front of the hexagonal body, Haoyues mental fluctuations became extremely violent. Weighing the threats, Long Haochen immediately made the urate judgement to transport the others back, for the sake of their safety. Once again pulled in front of Long Haochen, the lich king issued another indignant shriek. She absolutely didnt expect Long Haochen to make such a judgement, nor to show the ability to break free from the bone dragons encirclement. At that very moment, at least four bone dragons were following Long Haochens back andunching their attacks. But the incantation of the lich king was still stopped. _Bang._ A strong purplish ck radiance surrounded Long Haochens body in a st, scattering his sword intent forcibly. The terrifying st caused Long Haochen to expel a mouthful of blood, but hepleted Shield Wall at the same time to carry out his defense. The Divine Snail Shield glinting in multicolor radiance was just so sturdy. That instant, it resisted not only the magic bombardment from the lich king, but also the four consecutive strikes from the bone dragons. Relying on theyer of purple gold on his body as well as the powerful defensive force from his shield, Long Haochen managed that much. But he was now in desperate straits. Surrounded by four bone dragons while facing the iparably formidable undead magic of the lich king, he was left with no way out. This instant, an ear-splitting roar was heard below. An mind-blowing scene followed: the over hundred bone dragons were all stunned hearing it. And the same went even for the lich king. Then, that massive purple hexagonal formation in the sky blew up, spreading out a massive purple brilliance all around, epassing the whole battlefield. The mes in the eyes of every single bone dragon trembled violently, giving off the feeling that they could go extinct at anytime. Cowering with their whole bodies as if their lives depended on it, they tried to guard their soulfires with their whole power. Let alone attack, they were already facing an extreme struggle just to keep themselves alive. In a sh of purplish golden, Haochen disappeared from this area, reappearing instead on Haoyues back. Thetter had just achieved his evolution. His roar was simultaneouslying from the six heads, including the newly born Little Yellow with a tomato shaped horn. The might from the six great heads radiated all around. After evolving, Haoyue was nowparable to a human powerhouse of the eighth step in bearing, but the purple intent spreading out from his body was simply sensed as terrifying from the viewpoint of the bone dragons and even the lich king. Six cold gazes gathered onto the lich king. As she once again let out a shriek, her mantle turned into mist, revealing the body behind it. She had a perfect human build, a totally naked body, but had a skull for a head. Frantically waving her bone staff, she aimed strong ck radiances at Haoyue. Groaa. Once again roaring high, arge amount of purple intent undted once again. The attacks of the lich king were immediately nullified in front of that purple intent, and Haoyues massive wings carried Long Haochen alongside him, scattering and smashing a bone dragon trying its utmost to preserve its soulfire along the way. The next instant, he disappeared beside Long Haochen in the dark night sky. No! The lich king bellowed. Her wrath caused all the bone knights to shiver. But she still ended up defeated, and was only able to stare nkly at the process of Haoyues evolution, as he gained a sixth head. Her defeat was unrted to her strength. Facing the purple intent released by Haoyue, she couldnt even disy half her strength. In the end, her summoned legion of bone dragons used up their strength resisting the fear, and barely had the ability to continue the attack. Otherwise, how could Long Haochens group contend against such a formidable undead sovereign? Even in this world of Haoyues, the lich king was amongst the top ranked in terms of cultivation. After suffering an extreme wrath came an ice-coldness. An unspeakable chill spread through the lich king. She could not describe her thoughts right now, but felt that she vaguely sensed the extremely terrifying Austin Griffin of that time seemed to havee back. Just before Haoyue and Long Haochen departed, the instant his six pairs of eyes gazed at her, they left a deep feeling in her memories, and aroused a fearing from the depths of her soul, going to the extent of directly causing her whole cloak to burn. Chapter 577 - The Wrath of the Lich King (I)

Chapter 577: The Wrath of the Lich King (I)

But regardless of the circumstances, she had failed. There was only one chance, and no other. The lich king was not clear on how the six-headed Haoyue was already able to pressure her to such incredible extent. At that rate, the next time theyd find him, the only thing to do would be to wait for his next evolution. Only, after evolving, would anyone truly be able to suppress him? Her iparably deep feeling of powerlessness gradually turned into deep fear, as the lich king once again let out a deep screech. Tower of Eternity. At the time Haochen and Haoyue returned, Haochen felt his back dripping with sweat. The previous situation was just far too much. Without Haoyues assistance, hed surely have already died. No matter what, he couldnt give up on Haoyue and transport himself back to the Tower of Eternity alone. Those undead creatures were just beings at a whole other level! Theres still a gap between the Demon God of Death Saminaga and the lich kings undead magic, but shes even more straightforward and terrifying. In particr, herst summon of over a hundred bone dragons was far too shocking. If not for Haoyues act of deterrence towards those bone dragons, he could only have ended up torn to shreds. But from another standpoint, such terrifying undead powerhouses held tant fear towards Haoyue, and Haoyues aura even suppressed their strength. From that, one can well imagine how bitter the memories his ancestors left in them were.?Haoyue, just what level will you reach in the future? Seeing Haoyues sixrge heads and his purple crystal-like armor, Long Haochen softly caressed him. Haoyues sixrge heads immediately gathered, especially the newborn earth elemental head Little Yellow, who rubbed against him insistently. In front of Long Haochen, the previous pressure Haoyue had was totally nonexistent, and he appeared instead like a child. This evolution also provided Long Haochen with a considerable boost. His internal spiritual energy reached a total of three thousand units, and more importantly, his external spiritual energy had a change. Having finally quieted down, Long Haochen could pay attention to these changes. He found out that a new kind of powerful force seemed to be present in his blood, this force seeming very close to Haoyues aura. It should be the origin of that purplish golden color that had appeared on him before. This force was fusing with his body, and gradually became part of him. Based on Haochens estimate, before ten days pass, it will havepletely finished the process of fusion. Long Haochen had no precise idea of the level his external spiritual energy would reach at that time, but it would have to be measured in tens of thousands! Moreover, this external spiritual energy he gained because of Haoyue seemed to have properties inmon with internal spiritual energy. After spending this affectionate time, Haoyue crawled onto the ground of the Tower of Eternity, entering a deep slumber. Visibly already very tired, he had expended a lot of energy in this evolution. Long Haochensrades didnt know what thrilling experiences the two of them experienced at the end, after all, they only came a mere few dozen seconds earlier than when Long Haochen and Haoyue returned. Theres no way they could know that if Long Haochen hadnt strived to earn thesest few seconds and stopped the lich king, herst attack could have threatened Haoyue, and kept them there forever. Haoyue being in deep slumber, they joined Haochens side, and Han Yu expressed with worry, Captain, Haoyues evolutions seem to be bing more and more challenging. That undead creature we saw before was strong enough to match the top ten demon gods, and even surpass some. Im afraid that we are going to face even more powerful enemies next. Lin Xin expressed, Haoyues evolutions are also taking longer and longer. Maybe the next one will be in a few years. At that time, do you think that we still wont have the ability to face enemies of her kind? Boss is already a knight of the eighth step. After a few years, maybe hell reach the ninth step already. Wang Yuanyuan let out a giggle, I didnt think you were so optimistic. Boss, now that Haoyues evolution ispleted, shall we go look for Yinger? Long Haochen nodded, Its time for us to gather thest of them to us. However, over the past few days, I have have carefully reflected on whats next, and I have decided that we will try our utmost to not intervene whening next to Myriad Beast Mountain Pass of the Spiritual Temple and the Southern Mountain Pass of the Priest Temple. In particr, I can definitely not participate any further in the defense against the demons. Hearing that statement, the others were all baffled. In fact, as Demon Hunters, their most basic mission was defense against demons. Long Haochen dered, After the termination of my secluded training, I have been in the Dragon Resisting, Exorcist, Tombal, and Southeastern Mountain Oasses. But every time, my interventions have been far too influential. In the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, I managed to severely wound the Demon God of Death Saminaga thanks to the Tower of Eternity. Then in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, I assisted great-grandfather Sheng Yue in killing the zing Lion Demon Andromalius, and killed the Goblin Knight Seere alongside Caier. Then, relying on Light Prayers, I temporarily held off the supra forbidden spell of the Hell Demon God Marbas, earning some time for the Tombal Mountain Pass. And now finally, once again I killed the Demon God of Clear Vision. Three demon gods died consecutively because of me. The demons arent idiots, and my Golden Foundation Armor is really too conspicuous. They surely have taken note of me, and may even have some guesses. And every time I appear in the battlefield, I gain morerades at my side. I can cover my own looks, but your appearances will be recorded in their eyes. As long as they have capable people analyze my being, they can very easily guess my appearance. If the Demon God Emperor ascertains these guesses, he will very possibly lead the Devil Dragons, Moon Demons and Star Demons in arge scale invasion. This is the scenario I fear the most. The demons will sooner orter find out my identity, but I hope for this to be in the demon territory. This way it wont implicate the Six Great Forts. For this reason, we will strive our utmost to stop intervening in the following forts, and stay low-key. After we are with Yinger and Sima, we will disy our full force after infiltrating inside the demon territory. Having listened to Long Haochens analysis, Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu immediately expressed their approval, and the others understood as well. Just as he said, the time for their public disy hadnte yet. Not letting any Demon God Crown escape will prevent these demon gods from reappearing temporarily, but as long as their demon god pirs are still around, they will keep being passed on. Therefore, the most important for them was to infiltrate demon territory to try their utmost to destroy demon god pirs. At that time, they will surely show awe-inspiring disys in demon territory, but this will only make the situation around the Temple Alliance more steady. With their little group, even if the demons are even more powerful, finding their trails in such a massive territory is no easy matter. Myriad Beast Mountain Pass, Spiritual Temple. Chen Yinger stood nk there, appearing totally sluggish. That Spiritual Saint Robe made of one hundred eight spiritual pellets and countless embroideries of magical beasts spread soft fluctuations of spiritual energy. In front of her were seated two elders. One of them was her grandmother Sanshui Popo, and the other an even more important character, the present head of the Spiritual Temple and Chen Yingers grandfather, Psychic Master Chen Hongyu. Thats how things are. Yinger, you will have to carry on. His chances of survival are extremely low. No, this cant be! He will surely survive, thats for certain! Chen Yinger suddenly shouted, her tears flowing uncontrobly. Her hand carried a letter, but most of all, her body was now shaking uncontrobly. Visibly, she has lost control of her emotions. Sanshui Popo exined with a sigh, Child, we have been resisting the demons for so many years, and many of ours have already parted forever. Just get over it. This rancor has to be aimed at the demons from now onwards. No, grandmother. I am going to look for him. Chen Yinger abruptly lifted her head, her eyes glittering with resolution. Stop the brat act! Chen Hongyu shouted, and his awe-inspiring demeanor immediately shook Chen Yinger, Do you think you are still a small kid? Could it be that you dont understand the consequences looking for him by yourself would have? The instant you took over the Spiritual Saint Dress, your life had stopped being yours alone. Chen Yinger remained stubborn, I can take it off at anytime. Drivel! Chen Hongbo stood abruptly. His build couldnt be considered tall, but felt unspeakably broad. Aside from being the Spiritual Saint Girl, you are my, Chen Hongbos, only daughter. Have you thought about us? If something were to happen to you, how could your grandmother and I not be mad? Hearing his words, Chen Yingers stubbornness finally softened. Abruptly rushing forward, she cried loudly in the arms of Sanshui Popo. Looking at his granddaughter who cried to the extent of losing her voice, Chen Hongbo couldnt help but shake his head, You girl! Why are you acting so tough, its so clear that you love the other, yet insist on acting so disdainfully. And now you are the one suffering pain. As Sanshui Popoforted her granddaughter, she gave Chen Hongbo a fierce re, You have a good nerve. Thats just like you, old fart. I still remember about that mental integrity you showed when courting me. What a hell it was to keep up appearances. When facing his wife, the previously very aggressive head of the Spiritual Temple became helpless, and sat down resentfully. After pondering for a short time, he dered, We are summoners from the Spiritual Temple and arent very expert at scouting. Yinger, keep your calm. Your grandpa will immediately report to the Alliance and ask for a Demon Hunt Squad to be dispatched to look for him. As long as it is possible, he will be rescued. Chapter 578 - Bright Glimmer of Hope

Chapter 578: Bright Glimmer of Hope

Hearing her grandfathers statement, Chen Yinger shook her head, still hazy with tears, But the Demon Hunt Squads are all defending with the defense, or fighting in demon territory. How could there be a powerful enough Demon Hunt Squad to look for him! And whats more, if you write to the Alliance, who knows how long it will take for them to show a response. Chen Hongyu showed a bitter smile, Whats to be done then? I will also write to the Exorcist Mountain Pass then, asking for them to dispatch some assassin. Thats the most we can do. Yinger, it cant be that you dont understand how uncertain the chances of himing back alive are. Chen Yinger pouted and right as she seemed about to cry out, a respectful call came from outside, Temple Head, the Knight Temples Provisional Saint Knight Head is paying his respects to you. Provisional Saint Knight Head? Although Chen Hongyu felt agitated due to Chen Yingers matters, hearing the appetion of Provisional Saint Knight Head, he didnt dare neglect it. The Knight Temple is the head of the Six Great Temples, so even though their Provisional Saint Knight Head may not be among the best in terms of strength, his influence is absolutely among the best, even exceeding some insufficiently strong auxiliary temple heads. Invite him, quickly. Chen Hongbo immediately ordered. Beside him, Chen Yinger wasnt crying anymore, hastily expressing to Chen Hongbo, Grandpa, this Provisional Saint Knight Head ising just in time. Just have him arrange some Saint Knights to search. Chen Hongbo responded full of seriousness, Calm down, child. Do you think your grandpa isnt agitated as well? You are my granddaughter! Lets put this off until I greet this Provisional Saint Knight Head. The Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple has actually been reced, so it looks like Han Qian is going to keep remaining on the side of the Alliance. Wait inside together with your grandmother. Yeah. Chen Yinger responded, though feeling aggrieved, and finally took her grandmother by the arm to return inside. This was Chen Hongbos office, as well as Sanshui Popos residence. All the rooms were quiterge; outside wererge drawing rooms, and inside, some bedrooms and specialized closed rooms for cultivation. Very fast, sonorous footsteps sounded out. The one who made the previous report once again spoke, Temple Head senior, the Auxiliary Saint Knight Head has arrived. Please enter. Chen Hongbos expression was back to normal. With sonorous footsteps, a tall-built knight d in Golden Foundation Armor came in. Chen Hongbo saw with astonishment that this Provisional Saint Knight Head was not only d in full armor, but didnt even take off the mask on his face. In a way this made him unhappy. This ce was not the battlefield, but a safe area of the Spiritual Temple. To dare dress up in such a way, this Provisional Saint Knight Head was really impolite. Provisional Saint Knight Head and Twelfth Golden Knight greets Temple Head. Sorry about the inappropriate behaviour I am showing by not taking off my mask. I beseech Temple Heads forgiveness. A clear and bright voice came out from the armor. So young??That was Chen Hongbos first response. But without allowing him the time to start his reply, a cry of shock sounded out from inside. That was Chen Yingers voice. Immediately, she dashed out from inside, d in the eye-catching Spiritual Saint Dress. Even Sanshui Popo couldnt stop her. You, youre Chen Yinger arrived in front of the Golden Foundation Knight, about to ask in shock. Seeing her, that Golden Foundation Knight, was also extraordinarily moved, Yinger, so you were here as well. Thats for the best, it spares me from looking for you. While saying that, this Golden Foundation Knight lifted his hand, taking off his mask to reveal an extremely young and very handsome face, none other than Long Haochens. Chen Yinger and Long Haochen having cooperated for many years, she was among the most familiar with his voice. For that reason, as soon as she heard his voice, she recognized it, and therefore rushed out from the house disregarding everything. Boss Just as if seeing a rtive, she called him boss, and threw herself at Long Haochens arms while crying. While standing to the side, dumbstruck, Chen Hongbo was totally unable toprehend that magic trick. Even with the outstanding intelligence this Psychic Master of the ninth step had, he was unable toprehend the situation before his eyes. Sanshui Popo also came out, and joined Chen Hongbos side. Seeing Long Haochen, her shock was no less than Chen Yingers. In a low voice, she whispered to Chen Hongbo, This youngster is Long Haochen! Why is he here? and he even became Auxiliary Saint Knight Head. Whos Long Haochen? Chen Hongbo only felt that this name sounded familiar, but was unable to remember who that was for a moment. Sanshui Popo recognized Long Haochen due to her presence at the Demon Hunter Competition of that time. The current Haochen was far taller than at that time, and looked also far more mature and heroic. If not for Chen Yingers appetion as Boss, she wouldnt necessarily have recognized him. You fool, how many young talents do you think the Knight Temple has? Thats the captain of Yingers Demon Hunt Squad! That one who destroyed Andromalius demon god pir. Hearing Sanshui Popo, Chen Hongbo immediately showed a reaction. So this youngster before him turned out to be no one else but the number one genius since the beginning of the Knight Temples history, Scion of Light Long Haochen. Whileforting Chen Yinger, he bowed apologetically to the two elders. Sanshui Popo slowly stepped forward and nodded at Long Haochen with a smile on her face, pulling Chen Yinger from his arms. Although Chen Yinger and Long Haochen used to be in the same Demon Hunt Squad, in her eyes, her granddaughter was not the slightest below this Scion of Light. Moreover, Chen Yinger was still unmarried, and getting too close to Long Haochen. It wouldnt be good if news of this spread out. Boss, you have to go save him! Chen Yinger was pulled away by her grandmother, but still couldnt help but express her wish. Long Haochen had a start, as the nearby Sanshui Popo immediately retorted, What a girl you are! Cant you calm down for a bit. This Provisional Saint Knight Head came to greet your grandfather. Chen Yinger looked at Haochen with an aggrieved feeling, and expressed, Then I want to speak with you in a bit. I really need your help on a matter. Seeing Chen Yingers cute face so dripping with tears, Long Haochen felt pained. Without hesitating, he nodded. Although Chen Yinger was actually a bit older than him, at the time they were all in the same team, he always regarded her as a younger sister. She had a straightforward temperament, and although being the weakest, she never cowered in front of any kind of danger. This was Long Haochens first time seeing her lose control in bitter cries like that. Chen Hongbo still looked at Long Haochen full of puzzlement, and now that Chen Yinger had calmed down, he slowly expressed, Saint Knight Head, Yinger has been impolite. Please dont take offense. Have you just been promoted to this title? Long Haochen naturally understood this Psychic Masters meaning, and immediately handed over the letter he got from his grandfather. Having reading Long Tianyings letter, Chen Hongbo immediately showed an apologetic look, then indifferently expressed, I have gotten Brother Tianyings meaning. You, Saint Knight Head, can remain in our ce without issue. Long Haochen dered, Temple Head Chen, we are unable to remain here for too long. After that, we have to proceed to the Priest Temple to retrieve ourst teammate. Chen Hongbos eyes flickered slightly, Saint Knight Head, Im afraid that I will disappoint you on some matter. Since your Demon Hunt Squad has already dissolved, I have no intention to let Yinger return to a Demon Hunt Squad. She must remain in the Temple. Eh? Long Haochen was in great shock, and the same went for Chen Yinger. Ever since Long Haochen exited closed-door seclusion and reunited with hisrades one after another, this was the first time he faced such a situation. Chen Hongbo actually didnt allow Chen Yinger to return to them. Chen Yinger wanted to retort, but was stopped by Sanshui Popo, who went as far to use spiritual energy to seal off her ability to speak. She could only worry helplessly while looking at Long Haochen and her grandfather. Chen Hongbo exined, Since the Saint Knight Head represents the Knight Temple, I wont conceal the matter. Yingers innate internal spiritual energy exceeds ny, and shes our Spiritual Temples Spiritual Saint Girl, as well as the first talent able to seed to the Spiritual Saint Robe since the beginning of the Spiritual Temples history. For this reason, she must remain in the Temple, to inherit to my legacy in the near future, as the next head of the Spiritual Temple. So her status is rather special, and not fit to risk her life as a Demon Hunter. Hearing Chen Hongbos deration, Long Haochen became silent. He turned his head to look at Chen Yinger. Although she was restricted by her grandmother, her anxious look already told Long Haochen a lot of things. Long Haochen expressed, Head Chen, what about listening to Yingers view? If she is unwilling to remain as a Demon Hunter, I will absolutely not insist. But you know that a Demon Hunt Squad has to be formed with every vocation. Without her, we cant be aplete Demon Hunt Squad. Chen Hongbo indifferently responded, Thats a simple matter. There are a lot of powerhousesposing our Spiritual Temples younger generation. Please pick one of them, Saint Knight Head, and that will be it. I will be reporting to the Alliance and make an exception to switch a member from your team. Even Sanshui Popo called him stubborn, so one can well imagine how the temperament of this Temple Head was. The matters he has decided on will very rarely change. Long Haochen gave Chen Yinger a quite helpless look. But then the fierce changes in her expression came to his sight, looking on the verge of flowing out with tears. Temple Head, please reconsider. As the head of the Spiritual Temple, you have no authority to order a Demon Hunter. Chen Hongbos stared coldly, Saint Knight Head, please mind you own status. You are unqualified to speak to me like that. You can go now. Turning the visitor out, this Temple Head showed an even nastier attitude than the Mage Temples Head Li Zhengzhi. Of course, this was mostly because of his rtionship with Chen Yinger. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, No, you are mistaken. I believe that I am qualified to speak to you as an equal. My identity as Saint Knight Head aside, I have my Demon Hunt Squads title. Chen Hongbo became nk, Youngster, pay attention to your behavior. Its not as if you can take out anything to serve as a banner of justification. How young are you? And whats your level of cultivation? For which reason would your Demon Hunt Squad have a title? Long Haochen referred naturally to the supreme title belonging to a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. Thats the supreme honor for a Demon Hunt Squads, as well as the most majestic status attained by any Demon Hunt Squad. The captain of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad has a status that is not below any head of the Six Great Temples. Long Haochen replied indifferently, If I am not mistaken, in the Alliances rule, a special situation allows a Demon Hunt Squad with insufficient cultivation to be titled. Thats a situation of sufficient contribution for the Alliance. Chen Hongbo coldly replied, Are you referring to your destruction of Andromalius demon god pir? Indeed, this contribution is really of such a kind. But of the destruction of Andromalius demon god pir there is only your side of the story, that the Alliance still couldnt verify. Using that to boost your Demon Hunt Squad to a titled one is quite arrogant. Long Haochen shook his head, No, I am not referring to this contribution. In the Demon Hunt Squads rules, theres no rule stipting the destruction of a demon god pir. But there is another rule. If a Demon Hunt Squad kills three or more demon gods, they will be qualified to call themselves titled in advance. Chen Hongyu showed great rm, Are you saying that you have already killed at least three demon gods? Long Haochen stomped his right feet onto the ground, and unleashed a surge of golden flowing light, removing his Golden Foundation Armor. Raising the sleeve of his garment, he revealed his contribution point tile. The records of a contribution point tile cannot be faked. Please have someone make an inspection, Temple Head. We have killed in session the Snake Demon God Andromalius, the Goblin Knight Demon Seere, and the Demon God of Clear Vision. I was the one dealing all the final blows. Hearing him, Chen Hongyu couldnt help but change his expression. And the same went for the nearby Sanshui Popo. The process of Long Haochens groups killing the Snake Demon God was narrated in detail by Chen Yinger, but they didnt expect Long Haochen to have actually killed another two demon gods. Killing Andromalius could be said to be a total fluke, but could it be the case for every one of the others they killed? And what Long Haochen has said was correct. ording to the Demon Hunt Squads rules, they were now indeed qualified to receive a title and to no longer be bound to the same rules as the other Demon Hunt Squads. This title will follow them anywhere and forever. To be the member of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad is the peak of honor, and a status that surpasses a Temple Head. After all, Temple Heads are rulers andmanders, or can be described as ones in control. But Demon Hunters of the titled grade are the absolute heroes of the Temple Alliance. Chen Hongbos expression softened, and he asked out of his subconscious mind, Then, whats the current title you have? At the time of our departure from the Southeastern Fort, we have asked for the Warrior Temples head Qiu Yonghao to testify for us, and formally receive our application to receive a title. In the past, when we were in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, when we had encountered the Demon God yers heroic members, their head Chen Zidian had asked us whether we were willing to seed to their title in the future. But I have refused: mere Demon God yers cannot bring humanity peace and development. At that time, myrades and I came up with a future title name, which is: Bright Glimmer of Hope. Chapter 579 - Challenge (I)

Chapter 579: Challenge (I)

Bright Glimmer of Hope. Hearing these four words Chen Hongyu couldnt help but show himself emotionally moved. On the side, Sanshui had a shocked expression. They could both feel the far-reaching ambition Long Haochen had behind this name. Hearing these words, the resisting look in Chen Yingers eyes finally calmed down. At that time, when Long Haochen rejected Chen Zidians offer in order to mention this title of Bright Glimmer of Hope, even the members from their own Demon Hunt Squad only took that as a far-reaching goal that they could maybe aspire to in a hundred years. But after just a few years passed, Long Haochen, still under twenty, was already saying that they were on the verge of possessing this title of Bright Glimmer of Hope. An iparable feeling of honor rose in Chen Yingers heart, and a soft milky-white spiritual energy was abruptly released from her body. The spiritual energy in the air suddenly went up, as Chen Yinger regained her ability of movement the next instant, and shot to Long Haochens side. Captain, are you saying that for real? We are really eligible to have our own title? Chen Yinger grabbed Long Haochens hand and shook it energetically. Although she wasnt very greedy for material items, she valued very highly the fact that her own Demon Hunt Squad could gain a title. This majestic honor even gave Chen Hongbo and Sanshui Popo some feelings of jealousy. In fact, in the six thousand years of human history, the total of Demon Hunt Squads that were able to acquire a title is below twenty. And in the present age, there are only two of these Titled Demon Hunt Squads. Long Haochen showed a faint smile, Although our strength is still far from matching the name of Titled Demon Hunt Squad, we certainly have a title of our own. Awesome, thats really awesome! Captain, I want to return no matter what, and fight alongside everyone else. I want it wholeheartedly! Saying that, Chen Yinger abruptly turned her head, facing Chen Hongyu. Grandfather, you cannot stop me. You dont have the authority to stop a Demon Hunter from returning to her own team. Did you know? In the past years under captains lead, we went through fire and water and made outstanding contributions for the Alliance. But in the team, I had no way to use summoning magic, and was always a burden to everyone else. But myrades never expressed discontentment toward me. No matter when, they were always putting me in the safest ce, especially Captain who faced off against the most powerful enemy every time, and bore the enemies most powerful attacks. And every time it came to this, I could only stare nkly at everyone fighting at the risk of their lives, unable to do anything. But now that I am finally a true summoner, with a power of my own, how can I choose to break away from my team at this time? How can I be so selfish? Grandfather, no one can stop me. Even you cannot unless you kill me. Otherwise, I will return to my team anyway, to be alongside myrades. Chen Yingers speech was very earnest, once again her tears gushed out, but her words were iparably steady, containing no diversion or leeway. Sanshui Popo still had a clearly hesitant look. She also used to be a Demon Hunter, and obviously knew the feelings of unity between the members of a team, and the deep feelings arising from countless experiences of life or death. Their feelings aspatriots were often enoughpared to rtives from a same family. Who knew how many times they strived their utmost to manage to save each other from a situation of danger. At that very moment, Chen Yingers determined words rang in her mind and couldnt help but confuse her. But Chen Hongyus view wasnt the same. Although he fears his wife, in the end hes the head of a Spiritual Temple, the one with the highest authority and power in the present situation. Seeing Long Haochen and his tearful granddaughter, Chen Hongyus expression gradually pacified, giving a resolute look to Long Haochen, Deep apologies, Saint Knight Head. I am taking back my previous words which I spoke due to an emotional impulse. Congrattions on obtaining this title of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Over many years, any of the Six Great Temples have all made sacrifices for each other. Who knows how many parents have seen their child step into the battlefield, only to see their corpse return, sometimes not evenplete. As the head of the Spiritual Temple, I understand the importance of Yingers honor as a Demon Hunter. I know I shouldnt stop her, and I certainly have some selfish motives deep inside: I have only this one granddaughter. But I am definitely not stopping her from returning to you because of these selfish motives. Reaching this point, Chen Hongbo pointed at the Spiritual Saint Robe on Chen Yinger, Please look, Saint Knight Head. The current cloth Yinger wears is called Spiritual Saint Robe. Thats the only divine tool held by our Spiritual Temple. It is embedded with a hundred and eight spiritual pellets, all of which were left by powerhouses of the ninth step from our Temple. This cloth can be said toe from the efforts expended by several dozen generations of the Temple, to be finallypleted. But from the day of itspletion to now, only Yinger was able to put it on. Thats because her innate spiritual energy exceeds ny, blessing her with the constitution as Spiritual Saint Girl. Just like you, she is a gods chosen one. Summoners arent the same as you knights: even the most powerful summoners will have a weak body. Our Spiritual Temple cannot do without Yinger, so I cannot let her take risks. Give her another ten years, and she will surely be the true cornerstone of our Spiritual Temple. At that time, she will be able to show much greater use in the battlefield than now. So as the head of the Spiritual Temple, I must stop her from going back to that life. I hope you can understand. That wont do grandpa! You cant stop me. Captain, transport me away! That way, even grandpa wont find me! Chen Yinger swayed Haochens arm, as she asked to be teleported to the Tower of Eternity. But Long Haochen didnt do so. Thats because he could understand the current feelings Chen Hongyu was having. Wasnt the current Chen Hongyu just like his own grandfather Long Haohan at the time he emerged from seclusion? At that time, they made things incredibly difficult for him for the same reason. An innate internal spiritual energy of over ny has, for any Temple, an iparable value. Thats an earth-shattering powerhouse, born with the potential to match the Demon God Emperor one day. With such a powerhouse as their leader, any Temple would have an extremely prosperous future. As the Temple Head, Chen Hongbo had no other choice but to keep Chen Yinger here. And as Chen Hongbo said, Yinger was, before all else, a summoner. Caier and him were both gods chosen ones, but their survivability is far greater than Chen Yingers, especially he, possessing the Tower of Eternity, able to transport him to another realm at anytime to escape the enemys chase. In the end thats why Long Tianying and Sheng Yue let their team re-form with ease. Yinger, be patient for a bit. Long Haochen patted Chen Yingers shoulders, finally calming her down. But upon looking, she saw her grandfather and grandmothers look be very alert. Chen Hongyu couldnt help but take a defensive postureposture. However he secretly was impressed, feeling that this youngster called Long Haochen truly is a big deal. She understood her granddaughters character very well, including her extreme stubbornness. Unless shes truly convinced, theres no way she would remain obedient and listening. At least, at his own side, this treasured granddaughter was never so obedient. Temple Head, I can really understand your apprehensions. But Yinger is part of my team: we really need her. I can guarantee you Ill do my utmost to defend her safety. As captain, protecting myrades is my unrelenting responsibility. I will do my utmost for this sake. As long as I live on, I wont let the enemies inflict any harm to her. Chen Hongyu showed a calm and collected look, Are you saying that you believe your own strength to be sufficient? Long Haochen replied, Temple Head, our team is an entire body, and at least in the same level, I dare affirm that we have the greatest survivability possible. Back then, senior Chen Zidian handed over a piece of epic equipment to us, called Soul Sharing Chains. You should have heard about it from Yinger: they have the ability called Life Sharing. In other words, at the time we suffer enemies surprise attack, we can take the damage for each other. Not only that, but every member of our team is equipped at least at the Legendary Tier. We have now two divine tools and four pieces of epic tier equipment as well, without counting Yingers Spiritual Saint Robe. I am very confident in our abilities of self-preservation. The divine tools he was referring to were his Divine Snail Shield and Caiers Sickle of the God of Death, and the four pieces of epic tier equipment: Soul Sharing Chains, Eternal Melody, Aria of the Goddess of Light, and Hibiscus of Light. The Tower of Eternity wasnt counted because aside from its teleportation, he really didnt want to use its other powers. So the Eternal Melody was only counted as a piece of teleporting equipment of the epic tier. Two divine tools and four pieces of equipment of epic tier??Chen Hongyu facial muscles twitched visibly. How could such super-equipment be found at low value? And how young were their bunch? For a moment, Cheng Hongyu didnt know how he should continue to rebut Long Haochen. Seeing her husbands hesitation, Sanshui Popo expressed, Equipment and weapons are after all external objects. The most important for one to defend himself is a sufficient strength. Although Yinger has already broken through the seventh step, her capability is insufficient. Captain Long, how about that, we can permit Yinger to return to your team, but you have to promise to not enter into demon territory for a certain time toplete missions. The best is for you to remain in the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass, participating in the Holy War to make contributions for the Alliance. Chapter 580 - Challenge (II)

Chapter 580: Challenge (II)

Out of the question! Without waiting for Long Haochen to reply, Chen Yinger immediately rejected decisively. Grandmother, we are already a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. You dont have the authority to stop us anymore. I must follow Boss and the others, and goplete missions with them. Chen Hongyus eyes shed, taking a deep tone, Understood. Do as you please, but you will all have to prove your abilities of self-preservation to me for that, with your own strength. Chen Yinger stared nkly, she didnt expect her grandfather to give such a delightful response, How should we prove it? Chen Hongbo dered, As long as yourrades and you can manage to defeat me, I will admit that you are capable enough to defend yourselves. Thats impossible! Chen Yinger immediately understood that her grandfather was telling them the same message in a roundabout way! On the surface, he agreed, but actually wanted to make things difficult for them in another way. Chen Hongbo was no one else but one of the top veterans of the Temple Alliance, a formidable Psychic Master of the third rank, whose spiritual energy reaches 300,000. Of course, spiritual energy is in no way a decisive factor of strength for a summoner, because they mostly rely on their summons, making their spiritual energy their certain backup force. So actually, the Spiritual Temple is the one who has the most powerhouses of the ninth step out of the six. But their fighting strength isnt the greatest: summoners ordinarily only train spiritual energy alongside of their summoning magic, and do not focus on any other skills or abilities. That makes their spiritual energy cultivation naturally more efficient. Simply said, if Chen Hongyu with his 300,000 spiritual energy were to face Long Tianying who reaches 200,000, he would undoubtedly face defeat. But if that was in the battlefield, while facing myriads of enemies, Chen Hongyu would undoubtedly show far more use than Long Tianying. Chen Hongyu dered, Since things are that way, dont think of leaving. Do you think I dont know of your little scheme? If I let you return to your team, youll immediately go with them to Yang Wenzhaos rescue. Yang Wenzhao??Long Haochen couldnt help but feel alert hearing this name. At the time of their Demon Hunt Selection Competition, Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi, and he were known as the three great hopes of the Knight Temples younger generation. But he hadnt met Yang Wenzhao for a long time. And that Yang Wenzhao was not only Chen Yingers fianc, but also the grandson of the Divine Knight of Defense and nning, Yang Haohan. Yinger, whats the matter? What about Yang Wenzhao? Long Haochen asked Chen Yinger in a haste. Hearing his question, Chen Yingers eyes reddened immediately, He has been caught by the demons. Its unclear whether hes still alive at this time. Originally, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis Demon Hunt Squad entered into demon territory to fight in the enemy rear after the start of the Holy War. They were ranked among the best Demon Hunt Squad of the younger generations. As a whole, the talents forming their team werent much inferior to Haochens team. Having gone through incessant tempering in the battles against demons, their strength made enormous progress. And Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi showed good cleverness, meticulous thinking and appropriatemanding abilities. So from the beginning, they have been performing actively in demon territory, andpleted quite a good amount of challenging missions. As time passed and their realbat abilities increased, this Demon Hunt Squad followed in the wake of Long Haochens group, bing amander grade Demon Hunt Squad. Although they didnt follow the same path, the Demon Hunt Squads of Long Haochen, Luc Xi, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yihad all already reached themander grade by this day. Their four Demon Hunt Squads having all been established for less than five years, this was simply a miracle in the history of the Demon Hunt Squads. But Yang Wenzhaos and Duan Yismander grade Demon Hunt Squads finally had an ident. The Holy War had already gone on for close to two years, and they were fighting in demon territory all this time, returning almost only once a year. But a short time before, they attacked the demon troops in charge of transportation of supplies, with fully prepared ns and battle arrangements. Yet that absolutely safe mission ended up in failure, for the simple reason that they had the bad luck to encounter a demon god. Speaking of which, this was rted to Long Haochen. This demon god that they encountered was prepared to join the front, to reinforce the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Of their troops stationed at the human forts, the Exorcist Mountain Pass had the weakest arrangement of demon gods, theirmander was after all the Emo-demon god Sytry. At the time Long Haochens group came to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, contributing to killing two demon gods, Sytry also sustained significant wounds. In such circumstances, the demon side naturally became concerned with the situation implicating the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and immediately dispatched a demon god to reinforce the demon force assigned to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. This demon god was ranked rather high, being among the top 24. Just so, a veteran amongst the demon powerhouses. Therefore, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis two Demon Hunt Squads met with failure. Although this demon god hadnt been carrying his demon god pir, his strength was far beyond their scope of resistance. The final result was a disaster, and their Demon Hunt Squads ended up almost annihted. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were seized with severe wounds, and the only one that came back alive was the assassin from Duan Yis team, who carried the information. The ce of the ident was rather close to the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass, but after passing on the information he had been sent back with, this assassin finally dropped dead. How could Chen Yinger stand worriless after getting this piece of news? She immediately showed extreme panic. Originally, Chen Hongyu and Sanshui Popo didnt n on informing Chen Yinger, but she coincidentally found out. Having listened to Chen Yingers story, Long Haochens expression suddenly became extremely unsightly. First, without mentioning the rtionship of fellow soldiers between Demon Hunt Squads, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were rare talents to the Knight Temple! They were talented knights who could possibly be Divine Knights in the future. Since they were captured, Long Haochen had to rescue them no matter from which point of view he thought of the matter. Even if their current strength was far from sufficient to guarantee their sess, they had at least to give it a try. Yang Haohans good care of Long Haochen was engraved in his memories; without the support from this head of the Knight Temple, maybe he would have been sent to the Demon God Emperor before the Holy Wars start. Breathing deeply, Long Haochen gave a look to Chen Hongyu, seriously dering, Senior, I ept your previous proposal. I am willing to challenge you alongside myrades. But I hope for your conditions to be loosened. In front of our group of juniors, could you at least not use your equipment? Chen Hongyu didnt think that Long Haochen would still ept this evident bullying test. For a moment, he didnt show any response, but couldnt help but feel some appreciation for this Long Haochen. The fact this youngster decided to lead his team to challenge him meant that his decision of going to save Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao was already made. If his granddaughter wasnt part of this, Chen Hongyu wouldnt have tried a powerful Demon Hunt Squad that way. But when it involves his granddaughter, how could he let Chen Yinger take such danger? But theres no way he could take back the words he just dered. As a Temple Head, theres no way to go back on ones word. Alright. I wont use any equipment when facing your challenge. I will let you pick the time, and the location will be my Spiritual Temples Fighting Beasts Ground. Long Haochen nodded slightly, Temple Head, we have not seen Yinger for a long time. Please let us gather with her in the meantime: it will facilitate our battle tactics arrangements. Okay. Though, in case your group wants to leave this Myriad Beast Mountain Pass, be aware that you will be forever unwee in our Spiritual Temple. Also, we will halt you in your tracks by sending the Temples forces. Long Haochen responded, Be at ease, this kind of situation will absolutely not happen. Afterwards, he performed a standard knight salute to Chen Hongyu, before putting his mask back on, leaving alongside Chen Yinger. Boss, I As soon as they got out, Chen Yinger once again pulled on Long Haochens arms. As all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart, she couldnt help but burst out in tears once again. Long Haochen stroked her head, Fool, what are you crying for? Dont tell me you think the missions we have faced before were easier. Even without you, I would definitely go save Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi at all costs after learning that they have been caught by the enemy. Calm down for now, we will be facing your grandfathers test after a time of rest and reorganization. You are the most familiar with Head Chen, so please give exnations to everyone. Yep, yep. Chen Yinger nodded repeatedly. For some reason, after Long Haochen arrived, the anxiety and uneasiness she had had lowered greatly. That was a habit from the time they frequently acted together. It seemed to her that as long as their captain is there, all troubles will disappear. That feeling of safety gradually formed after long times of cooperation, and was already deep-rooted inside Chen Yinger. Long Haochen brought her to the resting grounds arranged by the Spiritual Temple, to reunite with the others. Naturally, a show of affection followed, especially between Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan, who were originally good friends, good sisters. Seeing each other once again, they shrieked in excitement, causing excitement from everyone else. The joy of their reunion diluted rapidly. Aftering back to tranquility, Chen Yinger talked about the previous matters. After hearing her, everyone gathered their looks in agreement at Long Haochen, waiting for his decision. Long Haochen dered, We must face the Temple Head Chen in this, otherwise he wont permit us to bring Yinger along. Han Yu, please make a trip to the Southern Mountain Pass on Star Kings back, and bring Sima back. Well have to gather all our forces to possibly win this battle. Han Yu replied, Yes, I am immediately going. Long Haochen brought him outside, where he called out Star King. After a few words of exnation from him, Han Yu rode Star King and departed immediately for the south. Chapter 581 - Challenge (III)

Chapter 581: Challenge (III)

The distance from the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass to the Southern Mountain Pass wasnt far. Sima Xian having originally been part of the teams main force so far, his cultivation was bound to have grown tremendously. With his addition, Long Haochens group had just gathered, reaching its peak state. Having been cooperating together as a group of seven so far, they were bound to have a great loss of strength without Sima. And the same went for their morale. Originally, the fastest should be Caier, but after her loss of memories, Long Haochen really wasnt at ease letting her go look for Sima Xian. Han Yu being steady, and with the full flight speed of Star King satisfying, having him go was naturally the most fitting. On the way back, Star King would carry the two at the same time, and since all were light users, they could use their spiritual energy as supply to enable Star King to elerate. After Han Yu left, Long Haochen returned to the room, and directly asked Chen Yinger, Yinger, tell us about your current abilities and what your grandfather can do in battle. Know yourself and know your enemy to then emerge victorious in a hundred battles out of a hundred. Chen Yinger looked at Long Haochen with some worries, Boss, do we really stand a chance? Grandfather is really too powerful, Im afraid that Long Haochen showed augh, Have some more self-confidence. We are currently in no way weak! And its only by confronting powerhouses of higher level that we can have possibilities of progressing. Although the gap separating us currently from Temple Head Chen is veryrge, I believe that as long as we put forth everything we have and show sufficient strength, he shouldnt make things difficult for us by preventing us from leaving. Chen Yingers eyes lit up, Youre right. Grandfather is after all an elder. If we can resist his attacks for some time, maybe he will be at ease. Nearby, Lin Xin showed a mischevousughter, Yinger, forget about the rest. After the test your grandfather gives us starts, you must convince him to not use his domain against us. As long as it doesnte out, we definitely have a chance. Let me tell you that Boss managed to kill the forty-ninth ranked demon god, Demon God of Clear Vision. And a short time ago, we also managed to resist in front of an undead powerhouse whose spiritual energy definitely exceeded 200,000, relying on the Conjoined Spiritual Boost, helping Haoyue achieve his evolution. In a situation where your grandfather doesnt use any equipment, he may not necessarily manage to defeat us. Chen Yinger asked in a start, Boss, is this title of Saint Knight Head for real? Wang Yuanyuan giggled as she replied, Of course its for real. Do you think Captain could be just talk? He has been formally appointed as Provisional Saint Knight Head by the Knight Temple. I estimate that our boss will be a Divine Knight in just a few years. Long Haochen showed a bitter smile, Dont be too hopeful. Temple Head Chen has plentiful battle experiences, and will be even more powerful than all the enemies we have faced before. At the time we face demons, we can at least restrain their darkness element to some extent thanks to my light attribute, and in Haoyues world, his aura managed to suppress them to some degree as well. But against Temple Head Chen, we wont have any advantages of such kind at all. Who said we wont! Ill be there! Chen Yinger suddenly hopped, quite proud of herself. You? Dont tell me this summoner who used to be unable to summon at all could have be reliable? Lin Xin asked in a shock. Chen Yinger unhappily replied, Dont becent, has-drugs-bro,e to fight a duel if you have the confidence. Thisdy will surely show you no chance at all, do you still have some confidence? Speaking such words, she showed her fist to Lin Xin. With her small arm, this didnt have any persuasive force, causing everyone else to burst out inughter. The only one who wasntughing was Long Haochen. With a nod, he responded, Alright. Yinger, if you can, go find a training field to duel Lin Xin. Eh? Is that for real?! Boss, thats no good. What if I turn McDull into roasted pig barbecue. Yinger will have a real grudge. Lin Xinughed mischeviously. Long Haochen shot him a re, Dont be toocent. After two years passed, your cultivation grew, so how could Yinger not have made some progress as well? So can you find a fitting training ground, Yinger? Chen Yinger showed in her gleaming eyes, a quite malicious look shooting at Lin Xin, with a nod, Of course I can find it. Has-drugs-bro, in a bit thisdy will show you whats a terrible bully. Lin Xin curled on the sofa, and made a shaking motion. In a cheap thrilled voice, he dered, How scary! Im so afraid! Unreliable beauty Yinger, I forgot to tell you that the great me has already learnt the use of offensive magic. Thats not just Fire Curse anymore. Chen Yinger stared nkly, You learnt the use of offensive magic? How about your original vow? , Lin Xin got up from the sofa in a jump, Thats a matter of the past, and matters of the present came into y. Lets go, lets go. Show me what progress you made in the past two years. The little pig McDull show now be a magical beast of the eighth rank right? Maybe the ninth rank? Thats no issue, hes still no opponent in front of your brother. Chen Yinger twitched her mouth, Facts speak louder than words. Today, if thisdy doesnt beat you up as the pig you are, Ill take your surname. Lin Xin grinned, Then how about that guy Yang Wenzhao? How grieved will he be to learn that his wife has taken anothers surname when we have rescued him? You! Chen Yinger lost her words in rage. But she felt that this was the best time she spent for thest two years. Finally being together with herrades felt the best! With Chen Yingers status in the Spiritual Temple, finding a training ground couldnt be an easier matter. She led everyone directly to a wide training field in the back of the Spiritual Temple, expropriating it after saying a few words to the manager in charge. Under the watch of Long Haochens group, Chen Yinger and Lin Xin entered the training grounds. After two years passed, Chen Yingers McDull had some visible changes.His body that was a bit longer than a third of a meter didnt grow, instead shrinking by roughly a third. But he gave off a very peculiar feeling: his skin became close to gtin, appearing extremely sparkling and translucent. In particr, his pair of eyes were like resplendent gems, while his body didnt release any powerful aura, but standing at Yingers side, he seemed like an extension of her body, their auras giving off a feeling of matching perfectly. As Lin Xin was about to head to the other side of the ground, he said, Yinger, how about your brother gives you ten minutes to prepare a chant? Aye, Id really hate to turn McDull into barbecue. Saying this, he rubbed McDulls chubby waist, and pinched his butt. McDull shouted out in anger, immediately leaping up to Chen Yingers waist. Dont be angry. In a bit, we will teach him a good lesson and that will be it. Chen Yinger was extremely calm, and didnt show any surge of rage from Lin Xins shameless act. That look she gave him was really a strange sight, just like a queen about tosh a ve on a pir. Very rapidly, the two increased the distance separating them. Long Haochen, who was standing on the distant watching area, shouted loudly, Be very careful. Dont aim to wound the enemy for real. Start! As soon as Long Haochens starting call came, the aura of the distant Lin Xin immediately had an earth-shattering change. With a bang, an intense blue me ascended around his body, and his originally extremely ridiculing smiling expression became extremely cold. In the battles against demons, the countless ughters made him umte a powerful killing intent. As long as he enters his battle state, he will seem like a totally all different person. Lifting up the Fire Cloud Crystal high, he didnt show the slightest intention of starting off leniently. Raising his staff, heunched six blue fireballs in Chen Yingers direction. Generally speaking, a summoner of same rank would very hardly be a mages opponent. Thats because the summoning spells of mages require a lot more time than the mages offensive spells. Thats why Lin Xin spoke about giving Chen Yinger some time to prepare her magic. Lin Xins self-confidence had its roots. His Heart of Fire was originally far more powerful than an ordinary fire mages fire, and theres also his great magic control and instant casting ability. Those six connected fireballs immediately spread in the air, encircling Chen Yinger while leaving gaudy trails of mes on their way. Lin Xins control over magic gave himplete confidence to be able to stop it when Chen Yinger wouldnt be able to resist. His battle experience was really plentiful. In contrast, more powerful mages would rarely show the use of powerful magic, because it not only uses up a lot more and takes longer to chant, but also has a lot of uncertainty. Having a full grasp of the battlefield is the true aim of a great mage. Facing Lin Xins offense, Chen Yinger acted as though she hadnt seen anything. Standing on the same area, her right hand was softly pointed at McDull, shooting a milky white glow from her finger at his body. This milky white glow carried bizarre twisting waves. The instant it came in contact with McDull, his body abruptly inted, turning into a gigantic white bear rising up. Grooa!!! The gigantic bear roared to the sky, and an icy blue htion was abruptly released from its body, spreading outwards and protecting the bear and Chen Yinger inside. In a movement of wrist, that crystal ball she often used to use appeared in her hand, and her incantating voice was heard. _Puppuppuppuppuppup._ In a series of explosions, the six blue fireballs blew apart on the icy barrier. Arge amount of gaps immediately appeared on it, but with another roar of the ice bear, its structure became reinforced. Want to stop my attacks like that? How naive! Lin Xin snorted, and also incantated his spell. His previous attack was just a probing, to see how Chen Yinger would cope with it. However, he became curious to see that McDull hadnt consumed any magic crystals in this transformation, yet underwent it directly. It seemed as though some ability was bestowed to him by Yinger, and whats more, the calm andposed looks on Chen Yinger faintly gave Lin Xin some pressing feelings. Chapter 582 - The strength of the Spiritual Saint Girl (I)

Chapter 582: The strength of the Spiritual Saint Girl (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Right at this time, a session of sliding gates of light appeared in full swing on Chen Yingers back. Every gate reached a height of five meters, and a width of three meters. The gorgeous gates glinted with bizarre brilliance, making a total of six which traced a curve on Chen Yingers back. Her body slowly floated high from the ground, and her Sacred Divine Dress embedded with a hundred and eight Spiritual Pellets dispersed a thin milky white htion, giving the originally beautiful Chen Yinger the look of a fairy. Her powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy abruptly blossomed around, and engulfed the training field with terrible might. So shes really got some backbone! Lin Xin showed some astonishment, but his incantation didnt slow down in the slightest, andpleted the next instant. His Fire Crystal Staff pointed forward, and shot out imposing blue mes, once again heading toward Chen Yinger. A stupefying scene followed, as the mes gradually formed the shape of arge blue hand in the sky. Compared to the previous fireball, thisrge hand of fire wasnt lit especially strongly. The mes didnt even keep rising after forming the hand. But being deep blue colored, it flew toward the Ice Bears barrier, folding to form a fist, which struck it straight. With arge bang, the ice barrier was smashed to pieces, dispersing into countless fragments of ice. ming Hand spread once again, this time aiming at grabbing McDull transformed as an Ice Bear. Letting out anotherrge howl, thetter abruptly pounced forward. A powerful st of icy spiritual energy came to strike that hand like a violent storm. At this time, Lin Xins great magic control came clearly to view. That ming hand was only seen swaying in midair, before the middle finger was extended, stabbing at McDull through the lower part of his ice storm. Looking at the stage, Wang Yuanyuan unhappily remarked, How vulgar from has-drugs-bro! Even McDull is being bullied. Long Haochen heaved a smiled, Dont decide on whos being bullied too fast. Yingers beautiful dress is not just for decoration. Theres no way the only divine tool of the Spiritual Temple could be so easy to deal with. McDull showed the results of his training in the Tower of Eternity. In front of therge ming handing from below, he made a sudden flip before his figure grew sharply in size, unexpectedly aplishing a second transformation. This time, McDull again transformed into an ice elemental creature, a terrible ice dragon, whose thick tail fiercely swept at the ming hand. An Ice Dragon is an extremely rare kind of dragon, reaching the eighth rank as a magical beast, while their most powerful Ice Dragon King even reach the ninth rank. But as they are in the end not real gigantic dragons, they would forever have no way to step into the tenth rank. McDulls Ice Dragon transformation reached a size of over ten meters, his immense tail shaped like a cone. That sweep was full of power, clearly proving his close distance to a magical beast of the ninth rank. Lin Xins previous judgement wasnt wrong: McDull now reached the standard of a magical beast of the ninth rank. The ming hand having been blocked once again, Lin Xins attacks finally entered in full swing. Chen Yingers summoning magic was already making him sense an enormous threat, giving him the final feeling that he ought to stop her frompleting this summons no matter what. For this reason, after this ming hand, series of Bursting Fireballs followed, just like they did in the battlefield, aiming straight in McDulls direction. McDull was really powerful as well. Even though Lin Xin had excellent magic control, he showed a very tough resistance. Even with the huge body of an Ice Dragon, he showed great agility in his body control. Ice suppresses fire: even if Lin Xins Heart of Fire is extremely powerful, its still suppressed in front of ice. Furthermore, McDulls supply of spiritual energy seemed unlimited, not only reinforcing his body, but alsounching some ice spells to get in the way of Lin Xins attacks. Seeing the great resistance McDull showed against his attacks, Lin Xins look became more and more amazed. The resistance he showed was great, and despite Lin Xins good control over his own magic, no attack could pass through to McDull. Even in an attempt to control the fireballs to make a detour afar, he found out with great surprise that these gates of light extinguished the rest of these fireballs as if it was only natural. Arent these Creature Summoning Gates? Lin Xins heart made abrupt palpitating beats. Creature Summoning Gate is a summoning magic of the seventh step, but he had never heard of a summoner able to wield six of these at the same time. Although Lin Xin was teasing Chen Yinger, he remained very astute. Chen Yinger having broken through the seventh step meant that she was now able to control the power of her Creature Summoning Gate. _Not good!_ Lin Xin showed some hesitation, not because he believed he would lose. Its just that at this point, besidesunching some powerful magic, he could hardly interrupt Chen Yingers magic. But who knew if theunch of such powerful magic would wound her! Dont be mistaken because of the fierce quarrels the two of them showed. How could he be willing to wound his own teammate for the sake of victory? As Lin Xin showed these hesitations, Chen Yingers incantations finallypleted on the other side. The instant herst verse stopped, an exotic milky white color sprinkled down from her body. Chen Yinger shut her eyes, and slowly lifted up her Crystal Ball over her head. The six gates showed great brilliance simteously, each of them having different looks. Red, blue, yellow, green, gold, ck. It was actually the six elemental colors. Immediately, series of roars were heard inside those gates: her summoned magical beasts were starting to appear. The instant the magic waspleted, the watching group and Lin Xin all realized immediately that this wasnt Creature Summoning Gate. Creature Summoning Gate belongs to the nature element. Even if one could control this magic, as well as the grade of the summoned beasts, theres no way to control the number and elements of these beasts. Everything depends on the users cultivation. But Chen Yingers six gates summoned magical beasts of set elements, which means that it couldnt be Creature Summoning Gates, but a simr kind of magic. One magic beast came out from each gate. But after they all came out, Lin Xin let out a gasp in surprise, almost immediately shouting the words I concede.. The six magical beasts were all the same: Earth Dragons. Every one of them wasparable to the Ice Dragon issued from McDulls transformation, and they belonged to the six different elements. _Are these Earth Dragons for real?_ Even if they were of the same element, they couldnt possibly have exactly the same appearance. It means that these six came from Chen Yingers self-created magic. As a mage, Li Xin had never before heard that a summoner at the supreme boundary would be able to call out magical beasts exactly like in his imagination, and let them wield the greatest degree of power. At that very moment, Chen Yingers magic seemed very close to this boundary. These six Earth Dragons should, from their auras, be reaching the eighth step, although not at the level of McDulls previous transformation which reached the peak of this eighth step. They were only close to human powerhouses of the seventh step. But Lin Xin was also at the seventh step! Even if in his opinion his power was much greater than ordinary seventh step cultivators, his chances of victory against these six magic beasts of the seventh step of different elements were extremely tiny. Furthermore, right after appearing, the six of them separated to six spots to make a formation making up the shape of six-colored magic hexagonal constetion. What are they up to? Combinatorial magic? Chen Yinger didnt keep chanting, only floating in midair, showing a mocking smile on her cute face. Her look at Lin Xin became full of evil. In a sh of light, Chen Yingernded in the center of these six Earth Dragons, lifting her Crystal Ball high and muttering some chants. Then, the six Earth Dragons immediately lifted their heads to spit in their own element, six glows which gathered onto her Crystal Ball, converging into the shape of a six-colored whirlpool. Afar, Lin Xin miserably pleaded, Yinger, we are on the same side, dont aim at my face! Right at this time, a six-colored glow was shot from Chen Yingers crystal ball. Lin Xin unconsciouslyunched Bursting Fireballs in an attempt of resistance, but upon contact with that glow, they immediately dissolved, and didnt have the slightest effects. The six-colored glownded directly onto Lin Xin. If Haochen hadnt determined that Chen Yinger wouldnt wound Lin Xin, he would have stopped that exchange of blows from going on. Hit by the six-colored glow, Lin Xin immediately had a strange look. Six flickers of lights of different colors shed, to the extent that his skin was not visible anymore. All that was visible were fluctuations of those six colors, as his body was congealed at that spot, just like a sculpture. Come back. Chen Yinger waved hands, then those six dragons turned their heads and returned through their own gates, which closed afterwards, signalling the termination of her magic. Chen Yinger pouted towards McDull, Go pay him back his previous acts of bullying. McDull showed a grin and transformed once again, this time turning into a kangaroo shaped magical beast, bouncing and vivacious,ing in front of Lin Xin. What are kangaroos expert in? Boxing So a certain previously extremely arrogant guy became immediately miserable. Still, McDull still left Lin Xin some face. Despite a painful beating of five minutes, he really didnt hit his face. Otherwise, he really would have beaten Lin Xin into looking like a pig as well as a fool. Ouch. It really hurts. I dont ept that, not at all! After Lin Xins body was bound by the six-colored glows for no less than ten minutes, they gradually dispersed. Finally, he recovered his ability of movement, bellowing in outrage. Chen Yinger snorted to him, Come back if you dont ept this. Thisdy is reserving a special treatment to you. Chapter 583 - The strength of the Spiritual Saint Girl (II)

Chapter 583: The strength of the Spiritual Saint Girl (II)

Long Haochen chuckled, Now, now. Stop quarelling now. Lin Xin really lost, but Yinger, he didnt use any of his most powerful abilities against you out of fear of wounding you. Otherwise, the menace to you would be for real. Was that summoning spell from before self-created? I havent ever heard of such a thing. Chen Yinger proudly replied, Yes! I have created it personally. Its inspired by Haoyues Essence of Disorder. Although I cannot use such a kind of magic, Ive been thinking, maybe I can make such magic through summons? I have made a lot of attempts, and finally seeded. The Earth Dragons from before were a first experimental product, made by using magic crystals. In times of need, I can summon them at anytime, and although the summoning magic requires a rather long time, thats because these self-created Earth Dragons can evolve over time. Their w is ack of battle instincts, but I can manipte them like puppets. Just like McDull, they will evolve as my strength increases. Chen Yingers exnation may sound simple, but any other that hears her would show great shock. These were six Earth Dragons of different elements, made thanks to magic crystals and summoning magic. The difficulty of such a feat is as much as one may well imagine. In other words, Chen Yinger was not only able to summon but also to create her own beasts. Im the Spiritual Saint Girl, and thats a personal ability I gained after bing a gods chosen one, Spirit Bestowal. As long as I wish for it, I can even bestow a spirit to a stone. However, my number of Spiritual Bestowals is limited. Using it will use up some of my soul force, so I cannot use it excessively. The good thing is that the summoned beasts whose souls are linked with mine will all evolve as my cultivation progresses. Listening to her exnation, everyone felt in a daze. Chen Yingers ability as Spiritual Saint Girl may sound a bitplex, but thinking carefully, everyone couldnt help but feel chills. She had the power to create magical beasts and bestow on them a potential for evolution. This ability may not sound too shy at its initial uses, but as Chen Yingers cultivation progresses, her created magical beasts will be bound to be far more powerful. And when she reaches the ninth step, wouldnt that mean she will have a batch of powerful magical beasts that dont use up any spiritual energy ready to assist her? Because these magical beasts were originally created and modeled based on Chen Yingers thoughts, their contract gives herplete control over them, all of which are far beyondpare with ordinary summons. Certainly magical beasts of six different elements capable of usingbinatorial magic already exceeds by far the scope of ordinary summoners. After pondering for a short time, Long Haochen interpreted, Yinger, can I understand it like this: that this ability as Spiritual Saint Girl gives you a batch of supplementary contracted beasts? Chen Yinger giggled, Thats about it. My awakening was a short time ago, so Im still not proficient with this ability, and can at most control these six magical beasts. Long Haochen remarked, The chanting time for your summon was rather slow. If this issue can be resolved, things will be perfect. Also, what happens if they die? Are you able to resurrect them? And even if they are resurrected, will they still retain their ability of evolution, and not stop evolving? Long Haochens question hit at the most sensible part. Chen Yingers ability was quite strong, but if it had limitations in these aspects, more preconditions would have to be met in order for it to disy the best uses of it in the battlefield. Chen Yinger gave it a thought and replied, The chanting time is no issue. I can find ways to shorten the chant. And these little dragons were only created a bit ago, so the so the contract still needs to be perfected. As they evolve and the contract grows, the chanting time will steeply decline. And when I be powerful enough, I will be able to summon them just like McDull. But they indeed cannot die, because if they do, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and I can then only restart from scratch. Of course, no matter whether they are created by me or not, all my creatures that have been spirit-bestowed will have their ability influenced by my current state. In other words, the stronger I get, the stronger my magical beasts linked through Spirit Bestowal will get. Long Haochen smiled faintly, You have to make good efforts then. I believe that this ability should have a great potential for development. It may show even greater uses in the future than now. Chen Yinger responded with some pride, Thats a matter of course. Im a useful part of our Bright Glimmers of Hope! Long Haochen dered, Since we are already in these training fields, lets practice some battle tactics, in order to be ready to be tested by your grandfather tomorrow. Although everyone in the team held an absolute confidence, and had their mutual understanding raised from their previous experiences, everyone had grown in different aspects in these two years of training. With the addition of Zhang Fangfang that they gained, they needed some practice to perform the greatest disy of their strength. Yeah! Chen Yinger nodded as the proud smile on her face vanished, giving way to a faint trace of grief shing through her eyes. Long Haochens sharp sense of observation came on disy, giving aforting response, Dont worry, Heaven will help the worthy. They will be alright. Chen Yinger pouted, But they were caught for so long already. Will they really be alright? Lin Xin remarked, Havent you been rejecting Yang Wenzhao all this time? Howe you are iparably more worried than any other time when he gets caught? Chen Yinger mysteriously didnt show any prepared retort, and slightly raised her head, looking at the horizon. She murmured, I have known him since we were very young. At that time he was a few years older than me. We used to live in Holy City, frequently meeting each other. I called him Big Bro Wenzhao, and he called me Yinger. Outside of our times of cultivation, he always took me out to have fun and eat some good food. When anyone dared bully me, he always dealt with the matter for me, beating up the bully into an unrecognizable shape. He treated me even better than my rted older brother, and at that time, when I was still young, I used to ask him,?Big Brother Wenzhao, can I marry you when we grow up??To that, he replied:?Okay! Then I will be waiting for you to grow up. Who knew that some adults heard about our childish talks, and Big Brother Yangzhaos grandfather proposed marriage to my grandfather, who epted very happily, and thats how the matter of our marriage came to be. Afterwards, as I grew up, and my times of cultivation increased, the chances for us to meet decreased. He became a lot more serious and powerful, while I couldnt even use a single summoning spell for some reason. At that time, grandfather hadnt told me the secret of the Spiritual Saint Girl, and I always believed that I had no way to be a powerful summoner, making me feel especially inferior. Once he brought me out and we ran into some rude guys from the Warrior Temple. At that time, we were still much younger, and although Big Brother Yangzhao was pretty strong, he couldnt beat those much older guys. At that time, I saw the deep look of outrage in his eyes. At that time, still young, I dered,?Big Brother Yangzhao, dont get hurt. After I grow up, I will surely protect you.? At that time, he turned his head exaggeratedly and gave me a very bizarre look. I wont ever forget that contempt he showed. When I asked,?Why are you looking at me like that??He replied,?You will never have to protect me, I will be the one to protect you. Although I have lost today, I wont lose again in the future.? Then, I asked him,?Why cant I protect you??heughed and didnt give a reply. At that time, I felt really hurt. You may think that this isnt anything, but it was a very severe blow to me. He was the dearest person in my eyes outside my rtives, and one I cared the most about. And that was the time I had the most feelings of inferiority. His act of contempt and silent jeer deeply wounded me, and from that day onwards, I kept ignoring him. Hearing Chen Yingers story, everyone couldnt help but fill up with pity. As the granddaughter of the Spiritual Temples chief, unable to use any summoning magic, the pressure subjecting Chen Yinger was as great as one may well imagine. Maybe what Yang Wenzhao did may not sound like anything, and was perhaps devoid of malice. But in those circumstances, at that time, his act wounded Chen Yinger a lot. Lin Xin remarked, So thats because of your wounded ego? Since you ignored him from that point onwards, why are you bing so agitated now? Chen Yinger replied unhappily, Do you think everyone is as unsensible as you? The fact that I ignored him didnt mean I stopped caring about him. I have always been following his matters with attention, and sweared that I wont marry unless I defeat him one day, having him wait all this time, until his hair turn white if need be. Humph! Lin Xin showed shivers, The fury of a girl is so fearful. But I estimate that he wont be able to defeat you now. Chen Yingers eyes turned red, starting to sob, But by now, I dont even know if hes still alive. What difference does it make whether I can defeat him or not? Wang Yuanyuan stepped in, Foolish girl, acting so tough. For this little matter, you held a grudge for so long. So no wonder you never paid any attention to him, and even refused to join his Demon Hunt Squad. What a girl! Dont worry, we will surely go all out to find him and help you aplish your wish to defeat him. Chen Yinger responded, choking with sobs, I already have no more desire to defeat him. As long as he survives, I can forgive him and forget my rancor. But I dont even know where he could be by now, and whether hes even alive. Long Haochen asked after pondering for a short time, Yinger, is there a Yue Ye Moonlit Chamber of Commerce in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass? Chapter 584 - The Strength of the Saint Spiritual Girl (III)

Chapter 584: The Strength of the Saint Spiritual Girl (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Hearing his question, Chen Yingers eyes lit up immediately, Right! We can ask for clues from them. Theres surely a Moonlit Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, they are the currentrgest conglomeration of free merchants. Let me go look for them. She ran out in a rush. Long Haochen stopped her with haste, Yinger, dont let your emotions get the better of you. Lets do this, we will do some simple practice for battle tactics, and then I will apany you to look for the Moonlit Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. By showing them the insignia Yue Ye gave me, we should be able to get their help. We should at least learn about the situation Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi are in before setting out. At the same time, we will be undergoing your grandfathers test while looking for information. Right, didnt you say that you have your means to counter the domain of your grandfather? Chen Yinger nodded, The domains wielded by us summoners are almost all aimed at boosting summoned beasts. Summoners of higher levels almost all have their own contracted beast, so their domain is either inclined at strengthening their contracted beast or boosting it overall. My grandfathers domain is of the former type, mainly boosting his contracted beast. My Spiritual Bestowal has another use, and thats on the opposing magical beast, to weaken it greatly for a short time, and facilitate me bringing it to submission. Grandfather is much stronger than me, so even with the Spiritual Saint Robe, I cant weaken his contracted beast too much. But I can reduce greatly the amplification provided by his domain. Long Haochen replied in a sh, So thats how things are. Your ability as Spiritual Saint Girl is really practical. Chen Yinger continued, We summoners hold belief in mythological beasts. In the legends, the mythological beasts realm cannot interfere with the elemental gods, which is why they can hardly make miraculous descents. The Spiritual Saint Girl was sent into the human world as a guide for the magical beasts. Thats why her abilities are mostly directed at magical beasts. At my current level of cultivation, the boosts are observable, but when my cultivation grows further, these boosts will not be as obvious as now. Wang Yuanyuan asked in curiosity, Yinger, whats your grandfathers contracted beast? I am starting to believe that thanks to your rebellion, our chances of victory will be quite good! Chen Yinger snorted, How could it be so easy? My grandfather is presently the person with the most knowledge regarding magical beasts there is. As the Psychic Master he is, I have yet to see his limits. Just think, howe our Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass remained so invulnerable to attacks ever since the start of the Holy War? The tides of beasts we call out are even more numerous than the demons. Even those eight demon gods couldnt bring out my grandfathers full strength. Winning against him will be extremely hard, we can only stall out as much as possible. The greatest shoring of summoners such as us is our weak killing force. As long as west for long enough, we will prove our sufficient strength to grandfather. I will hold up grandfathers contracted beast. Big sis Xing Xuan likes me the most, and will surely be unwilling to make fierce moves. Big sister Xing Xuan? Lin Xin asked in puzzlement, Could your grandfathers summoned beast be a human shaped beast? Chen Yinger showed a mysterious smile, Of course not. Its just that big sis Xing Xuan is a girl. When the timees, you cant go wound her either. Let me tell you everything... Next day. In the morning, Long Haochens group looked up high outside the Temple, waiting calmly. ording to my calctions, they should arrive around that time. Long Haochen murmured. They were waiting for Han Yu and Sima Xians return. Long Haochen had a good understanding of Star Kings flight speed, and the distance between the Southern Mountain Pass and the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass being in addition rather short, a day and a night should be enough for Han Yu to smoothly find Sima Xian and be back. The day before, Chen Yinger already promised to set the test on this afternoon. Based on her understanding of this grandfather and his strong ideology, in case they arrivedte, she was afraid his impression would steeply decline, causing an increase in the difficulty of the test. If not for the hurry of the matter of saving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, they could take it much easier, and wait for Sima Xian and Han Yu to be back before nning things more thoroughly. But time awaits no one. By being just a bitter to depart, the danger for Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would only increase. The Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce had already contacted Long Haochen, agreeing to investigate the circumstances of Yang Wenzhaos group. They had their own sources of information, and shouldnt take too long to send news. At the same time, Long Haochen heard another piece of information. After the time AhBao led the encirclement of their Demon Hunt Squad, Yue Ye immediately expressed her intention to cancel their engagement after returning to demon territory. Even the personal attempt of persuasion from the Moon Demon God couldnt change her thoughts. Her justification was simple. How could a man who views the act of killing the enemy higher than her be her husband? Maybe AhBao made the right decision as the demons crown prince, but Yue Ye was absolutely unwilling to marry such a man, even if she was killed otherwise. The Demon God Emperor didnt dere his position, and even AhBao remained silent. After all, AhBao didnt have a good justification to insist on the matter! So in the end, the engagement wasnt cancelled, but postponed for an undesignated period. From what was said, AhBao re-entered secluded training, nning on increasing his strength by training as if his life depended on it. This piece of news was just a theatrical episode, that Long Haochen didnt put in his mind. But he was unaware that AhBaos rancor towards him increased even further due to that matter. As the Devil Dragons crown prince, AhBao took great pains that even surpassed Long Haochens. In the near future, AhBao wanted to go find Long Haochen at all cost as if they were predestined opponents. They wont have the time to rest if they dont arrive soon. Chen Yinger was also extremely worried. If Sima Xian could be back along with Han Yu now, they would have the time to take a rest while discussing strategy and tactics. But as time passed minutes after minutes and seconds after seconds, there was still no sight of them, Long Haochen breathed deeply, and turned his stance towards the others, Everyone, be prepared to deal with Temple Head Chen without the two of them. This test cannot be dyed, and we must show results. Yes. The death of Zhang Fangfangs former Demon Hunt Squad was a very severe blow. On this day, joining Wang Yuanyuans Demon Hunt Squad was like the aplishment of one of his cherished desires. Furthermore, he could this way keeppany with Wang Yuanyuan. He was very satisfied with that. At this very moment, Long Haochen suddenly flickered his brows, looking far into the sky. It was currently totally empty, with nothing else than the blue sky in sight. As everyone was wondering what Long Haochen was mysteriously watching, a little golden dot came to sight very far away, and it erged at a frightening speed. Wasnt that the returning Star King? Star King had two passengers on his wide back. Han Yu was seated on the front, but his figure couldnt conceal the imposing stature behind him. Arge bald head came to sight behind his head, releasing light essence not inferior in the slightest to the oneing out from Star Kings body. They are here, they are here! Thats really them! Lin Xin excitedly bounced. Sima Xians return meant that all the members of their 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad were finally reunited. And, it also meant that the Demon Hunt Squad was back to a whole, and that was the only way for them to be the Bright Glimmer of Hope! With even only one member less, it wouldnt beplete. In the past, Lin Xin used to frequently be noisy alongside with Sima Xian, but as a matter of fact, the two of them had extremely good rtionships. Seeing that baldie once again, Lin Xin found it hard to contain his emotions, couldnt help but hop and bounce while waving at him excitedly. Long Haochens handsome face became flushed due to the excitement. His fists were gripped tightly: _Sima and Han Yu are back! So we are finally reunited!_ At this time, he only had the feeling that no matter what challenges they encounter, they will break through them inevitably. Star Kings travelling speed was really fast. For the sake of returning on time, he maintained a top speed all this time. At the time ofnding, his body let out a burst of golden steam without losing speed until then, thanks to his level of cultivation. Sima Xian took the lead to jump down from Star Kings back, andughed out heartily, opening his arms wide in front of everyone. Han Yu followed closely behind, and at that very moment, the members from Bright Glimmer of Hope all became iparably excited. Apart from Caier who showed somewhat less excitement, the others all couldnt help but dash in acmation, tightly hugging each other. They were finally reunited. Regardless of whether they call themselves 64thmander grade Demon Hunt Squad or Bright Glimmer of Hope, they were back to their initial setup. Zhang Fangfang was standing on the side, looking at them with intense envy. Recalling his deceasedpanions, he couldnt bear to leak out tears. Who knew how many more Demon Hunters had died for the sake of the Alliance, for the sake of humanity. After more than six thousand years passed, when will humankind finally drive out all demons. Lin Xin beat Sima Xians fist with all his force, How could you be so slow? Making us so anxious. Han Yu couldnt help but react to these words before Sima Xian even opened his mouth, Slow? That was slow to you? See how Star King is exhausted. He has been flying at full speed all this time, and is already at his limit. If youre speaking of slow, that would be Simas fault. You have no idea of how heavy he is. For normal flight, Star King would have no problem carrying the two of us. But for an express flight, the addition of his weight was sure to slow us down. Chapter 585 - Challenge a Psychic Master (I)

Chapter 585: Challenge a Psychic Master (I)

# Han Yus hand was pressed on Sima Xians shoulder as he kept speaking, Whats more, on the way here, Sima had been chattering a lot, asking about this and that. For Star King not to have been pestered to death, his resistance is already really incredible. Hearing his exnation, everyoneughed out loud in a boisterous atmosphere. Long Haochen joined Star Kings side, pressing his hand on his back and infusing some appeasing light essence inside his tired body, Thanks for your trouble, Star King. Star King raised his head slightly as his horn was rubbed by Long Haochen, and gave a warm look. Ever since following Long Haochen, Star King definitely obtained far more than what he invested, so he held Long Haochen in sincere esteem. He was already certain that by by continuing to follow him, the influence of Haochens pure light essence would undoubtedly help him evolve to the stage of Divine Unicorn. With a faint flicker of light, Long Haochen showed a warm smile, You should take a rest for now. Star King nodded. In a flicker of light, he turned into starlight and disappeared from his original spot. Shouldnt we be tested? Where is that happening? Lets go, now that we are here. Sima Xian spoke in a loud voice, the gushing fighting intent in him causing the others to feel their blood surge. Lin Xinughed out loud, Youre still socking in integrity, not the slightest bit different. The test will take ce in the afternoon. What are you so hurried for? When the timees, Yingers grandfather is just going to calm you down in a single blow. Sima Xian snorted, Has-drugs-bro,e for a bout if you are unhappy. Let me tell you that I have already broken through the seventh step and reached its third rank. How about you? Dont tell me you havent made your breakthrough yet! Lin Xin responded in disdain, Only the third rank? And you have the nerve to show off? I have already reached the fifth rank of the seventh step. You are far toocking in terms of talent. Youre at the fifth rank? I dont believe this. Sima Xian showed a strong disbelief. Long Haochen dered in a chuckle, Everyone has already gathered, so lets take the chance to get familiar with each others cultivation. This will make it easier to match each other, just directly tell your rank. Lin Xin and Sima Xian being already done, Han Yu dered, I am also at the fifth rank of the seventh step. In the past always, his cultivation was always second only to Long Haochen and Caier. But the event involving Li Xin in addition to his original formidable talent and affinity, plus the assistance from Heart of Fire enabled him to catch up. Im also at the fifth rank of the seventh step. This time, the one speaking was Wang Yuanyuan. Her cultivation, which used to be falling behind, finally made a considerable progress. Hearing this series of derations, Sima Xian couldnt help but open his eyes wide, It cant be! So my current cultivation is the lowest? How about you, Yinger? He naturally didnt even envisage Long Haochen and Caiers cultivations to possibly be below his. Chen Yinger immediately raised her brows at his question, Baldie, what are you asking this for? Is it because you think I am weaker than you? Let me tell you, thisdy is at the fourth rank of the seventh step, a bit above you. And I have just beaten up has-drugs-bro in a bout. If you arent convinced, you can have a try. Although such words came out from her mouth, she had a smiling expression. Sima Xian showed gloomy looks while speaking, It cant be? I have already been trying very hard. Dont be like that! I dont want to be thest one. Lin Xin feinted aforting stance, Alright, dont be depressed. Ordinary people just cantpare to geniuses, could it be that you cant even understand this truth? Puh, the rank isnt everything. How about you two, Captain, vice-captain? Caier replied, I am now at the sixth rank of the seventh step. The increase of her spiritual energy being not much faster than the others was mainly due to the influence of her loss of memories. As a gods chosen one, her progressing speed should be much faster, but these two years were mainly focused on recovering her various previous abilities under Sheng Yues guidance, and in particr her understanding of the assassins ones. By now, it could be said that Caier had a feeling of umted preparedness due to learning once again all the assassins abilities. If her stifled memories didnt end up recovering, her future cultivation would keep being affected, but on the other hand, if her memories manage to get back, she will be bound to gain a massive growth. Long Haochen replied, I havent been calcting my rank because I havent been measuring my total count of spiritual energy. By now, my spiritual energy should be between 40,000 and 50,000, which corresponds approximately to the third rank of the eighth step. If I get the time, I will have to go measure it. Hearing this estimate of third rank of the eighth step, everyone had some nk looks. Although they knew that Long Haochens cultivation was bound to have already broken through the eighth step because of his Golden Foundation Armor, from what he just said, his internal spiritual energy was already near 50,000. The gap was just too wide! The strongest of the others, Caier, didnt even reach 20,000. In other words, Long Haochen alone had the spiritual energy of two to three of them. And this wasnt a trivial addition, as they could perhaps win against Long Haochen by joining hands, but in case he wants to avoid the battle, there will be no one able to stop him from that. Hearing Long Haochens response, Sima Xians gloominess was swept clean, Haha, my spiritual energy may be the lowest, but the gap between Boss and the rest of us is just asrge. It bnces things out. However, Boss, dont be like that, you are just wounding our egos. Long Haochenughed gently, Actually, my current cultivation isnt only due to cultivation. A lot of it is rted to luck. Actually, thats how it was. He hadnt broken through the eighth step a long time ago, but his spiritual energy already increased so fast. Aside from his personal talent and the opening of his spiritual cavities, it was mainly due to his absorption of the residues of Saminagas domain left by the Tower of Eternity, plus the boost provided to him after Haoyues evolution. They totalled about 100,000 spiritual energy. Chen Yinger eximed, Boss, I have noticed that Star King was really tired. Should he be going to the battlefield so soon? Long Haochen shook his head, Star king wont be joining us today. As a knight, I cannot have two mounts participate at the same time. Chen Yinger showed an expression of nice surprise from her bright eyes, Are you saying that Haoyue will join? Long Haochen nodded, From the description you gave us of your grandfathers contracted beast, I have the feeling that Haoyue should be able to restrict it to some extent. Plus theres no point keeping things concealed in front of your grandfather. Didnt Temple Head give us the promise that except for your grandmother and Brother Zhang, there wont be any other spectators? To get Chen Hongyus approval, Long Haochen decided after consultation with Zhang Fangfang to not have him participate. Otherwise, that would seem petty of him. Their team already had an extra member due to Han Yu being his retainer knight. If Zhang Fangfang was further added, that would make a total of three knights, which is a bit too much. Long Haochen resolutely dered, After we pass through this test, we will have a good discussion about what happened during these two years. For now, lets cultivate separately to be at our optimum state when we confront Temple Head Chens test. Yes! Everyone stuck out their chest and replied loudly. Two hourster. Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, Spiritual Temples Fighting Beasts Ground. The so-called Fighting Beasts Ground was actually an appetion for training ground, which only exists in the Spiritual Temple. Because the Spiritual Temple was formed of summoners, there were frequently summoned beasts breaking out of control in times of training. So these training grounds had a great differencepared to the other Temples. First is concerning the scale of such training grounds. The Fighting Beasts Ground would be thergest outside from the Alliances Great Testing Ground in Holy City. Its shape is circr, with a radius of thirty meters, and is surrounded by elevated watching seats. The watching seats are protected by defensive magic formations, directed entirely against magical beasts. As long as magical beasts are inside, they wont possibly be able to break out from there unless the staff people take the initiative to release them. This goes even for the magical beasts of the tenth rankparable to human powerhouses of the ninth step. From this one can see how astonishing the defensive power of this Fighting Beasts Ground is. Chen Hongyus choice of this ground for carrying out the test of Long Haochens group was simple. In a smaller training field, he was afraid of possible danger. The defenses here enabled him to disy his strength to the best extent, without risk of spiritual energy leaking. The Fighting Beasts Ground only had two entrances, opposite to each other. At this time, the two entrances were opened. Chen Hongyu slowly strolled from the eastern entrance. He was d in a white summoners gown, giving off a very rxed look. As per Long Haochens request, Chen Hongyu already epted not using any equipment on todays test. But his domain was still on the map. Despite Chen Hongyus capacity as the head of the Spiritual Temple, he didnt underestimate Long Haochens group. Quite the opposite, he regarded the seven of them as worthy opponents. Although these were still very young children, they already produced miracles on more than one asion. In particr, Long Haochen caused the decision of the Alliance to carry out the Holy War against demons, thats how the Temple Alliance valued him. To carry the heavy responsibility of being the Provisional Saint Knight Head at such a young age couldnt be achieved by anyone. And Hongyu personally admitted that killing three demon gods in session and destroying the demon god pir of Andromalius isnt something anyone can do. Chapter 586 - Challenge a Psychic Master (II)

Chapter 586: Challenge a Psychic Master (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Whats more, Long Haochen wasnt the only genius in this team. Just think about his own granddaughter. Her physique as a gods chosen one was finally awakened, formally making her the Spiritual Saint Girl. As the mythological beasts emissary, her control over summons was as one may well imagine. If he didnt use his domain either, maybe these youngsters would really inflict him with a setback. That would be a terrible loss of face! Moreover, Chen Hongyus fundamental goal was to stop Chen Yinger from risking her life. He also believed that any other Temple Head present would definitely stop them from prating deep in demon territory. So on this day, Chen Hongyu was prepared to teach these youngsters a good lesson no matter what, so that they can train in calm cultivation. He didnt have the slightest intention to go easy on them, and decided firmly to defeat Long Haochens group to retain Chen Yinger here. As for Yang Wenzhaos situation of danger, it could only wait for the Alliance to dispatch powerhouses for rescue. Compared to his granddaughter, a grandson-inw had a far lower position in his heart. This time, Chen Hongyu was confronted by the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmers of Hope, formed of seven members, entering slowly from the western entrance, notte at all. On the watching tforms, Sanshui Popo was seated since a long time ago. Calm and easygoing, she had an extreme understanding of her husbands strength. She didnt believe that these young guys with exaggerated opinions of their own ability had any chance. Zhang Fangfang was seated beside Sanshui Popo, his gaze traveling downwards. Although he wasnt too confident in the chances of Long Haochens group, he secretly prayed for them to persevere for a long enough time. In a flicker of radiant light, Long Haochens eyes had a brilliant glint, Is everyone ready yet? Han Yu took the first step, Captain, Guardian Knight Han Yu is reporting for duty. Sima Xian followed tightly, Captain, Discipline Priest Sima Xian is reporting for duty. The next one was Lin Xin, Captain, fire mage Lin Xin is reporting for duty. Chen Yinger, Captain, summoner Chen Yinger is reporting for duty. Wang Yuanyuan beat on her armor with great strength, and her eyes appeared this instant quite red, Captain, Warlord Wang Yuanyuan is reporting for duty. The final one was Caier. Although she had lost her past memories, hearing the loud introductions of herrades, she felt a surge of cold blood boil in her body, loudly stating, Captain, assassin Caier is reporting for duty. Good, lets proceed for our test. Long Haochen responded in a vigorous voice, extending his right hand. Their hands were stacked one after another. As their seven hands were stacked, an overflowing fighting intent immediately burst forth with great confidence. One could faintly see a thin golden radiance dispersed from the seven of them. It came from the Soul Sharing Chains binding them. Its use was not only limited to Life Sharing, but it also faintly produced a feeling of soul connection. Since two years ago, their strength had progressed, but also the abilities from their equipment. At that very moment, the persistence visible in all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope made them already forget who their opponent was. They only had one conviction in their hearts, that no matter how strong the enemy is, they definitely wont let him get in their way. Standing in front of them, Chen Hongyu felt that the most clearly. The instant Long Haochen led his group in, Chen Hongyu could faintly sense their grave and deep demeanor. That steadiness totally unexpected from such youth already astonished the Spiritual Temples head. But the following scene made him unable to contain his surprise and be filled with great admiration. The members of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope expressed their resolution by reporting so formally to Long Haochen. With every additional report for duty, their imposing manners grew by a share, until the seven of them were done. The teams vigor was blended well, the formidable oppressive force and dense murderous spirit as well as imposing fighting intent already raised their morale to the peak. In such circumstances, they were bound to disy one hundred percent of their strength in the battlefield. No wonder Long Haochen had such confidence, and no wonder they killed several demon gods in a session. There was really a basis for them to get the title of Bright Glimmer of Hope. This instant, Chen Hongyu even started to doubt his own decision. He just saw personally the change in Chen Yinger alongside herrades. The incredible vigor, determination and energy she just showed would never appear in her ordinary times of cultivation. This instant, Chen Yinger became unlike a little child, but a real Demon Hunter confronting the demon forces. Even Chen Hongyu felt as if he couldnt recognize her. On the viewing tform, Sanshui Popo also had an expression of shock, These chidren are really outstanding! To actually raise their own morale with such methods. Zhang Fangfang showed a faint smile, Senior, their outstandingness is not limited to that. You will very rapidly witness that with your own eyes. I trust them, Captain Long has never made uncertain decisions. Sanshui Popo asked with some doubts, Dont tell me you really believe that they can defeat my homes old man? Shouldnt you be aware of his strength? Zhang Fangfang shook his head, I dont know what level Head Chens strength reached, but I am certain that Long Haochens group definitely wont be easily defeated. Thats the promise he gave to miss Yinger and to their whole team. I believe that their strength will surely keep rising to the highest skies under Long Haochens lead. Sanshui Popo had a stern smile, Good. Lets just wait and see. By now, even she had expectations for this test. She wanted to see whether these children could show her a pleasant surprise, what kind of miracle theyd produce. The gates on the two sides of the Beast Fighting Field shut simultaneously, immediately giving way to another source of heavy atmosphere. Leading his group, Long Haochen stepped forward. As they formed a row, he respectfully spoke, Greetings, Temple Head Chen. We are very honored to receive your test. Chen Hongyu responded calmly, No need for formalities, that was our deal. As long as you can defeat me, Yinger is free to do as it pleases her in the future. But on the other hand, I hope that if it isnt the case, you wont keep troubling me in the future. Understood? Long Haochen nodded lightly, Senior, can we start now? Chen Hongyu replied, As we agreed, I wont use any equipment in this test. But be careful, I will go all out and wont show mercy just because of your young age. Okay, senior. Please do so. Chen Hongyu had an indifferent smile, Come then. As he said so, queer manners came out from him. Being the head of the Spiritual Temple, a Psychic Master, even if hes a summoner, he wont show the initiative to make the first move. Please give us your guidance senior. With a shout, Long Haochen rapidly stepped forward, his right feet stomping on the ground to make a dash. As Chen Hongyu was believing that he was trying to make use of the speaking tounch his attack, he came to a stop after charging for five meters. Therades behind him also showed a rapid response, taking a formation. Long Haochen was in the front, in his left hand the Divine Snail Shield letting out orange glitters and in his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light. On his left side and slightly behind, Wang Yuanyuan gripped in her hands the Divine Soul Shield alongside Bloodstorm, and on his right side, Sima Xian carried the immense Energetic Ball of Light. The three of them formed a protective screen in front of their other mates. Lin Xin was behind Long Haochen, waving his Fire d Crystal while unfolding the Fire Dragon Wings on his back. Even further behind was Chen Yinger. Han Yu was still at the rear, the Demonic Eye floating behind him, eyes wide open and dispersing psychic fluctuations to his surroundings. The next instant, Caier in the rear disappeared instantly and without a sound, used Invisibility. Having the assassin covering the nks to provide both attack and defense was undoubtedy the greatest disposition for the Demon Hunt Squad. Having one more Guardian Knight than ordinary Demon Hunt Squads enabled this perfect optimisation. Chen Hongyu couldnt help but nod in approval secretly at this sight. These youngsters didnt immediately assault due to confronting a summoner, but instead firmly and steadily set their formation. This steadiness already far exceeded the expectations for their age. In actual fact, Chen Hongyu was prepared since long before for an assassin or a knights sudden assault. The first to attack was naturally the mage, as the main firepower in the team. Lin Xin lifted the Fire Crystal Staff andunched a gleaming blue Bursting Fireball at Chen Hongyu. Although Chen Hongyu was extremely powerful, the sight of the blue fireball gave still him a fright. These were visibly not ordinary mes, but high temperature ones distorting the surrounding air. _Bzz._ The air surrounding Chen Hongyu started to produce light chirps, and immediately, six pure sparkling crystals surrounded him, enveloping him in a white brilliance. This wasnt any offensive equipment, but a condensation of his spiritual energy. To describe it in another way, that was the reflection of the spiritual pellet of a powerhouse of the ninth step. Despite being simrly powerhouses of the ninth step, mages and close-quarters warriors would showpletely different disys of their spiritual energy. The mage type powerhouses would boost their magic through their spiritual pellet, increasing their offensive might and lessening the consumption of spiritual energy. Close quarters powerhouses would rather gain control of Spiritual Hignd through their spiritual pellet, making their use of Spiritual Hignd far more powerful than powerhouses of the eighth step. Chapter 587 - Challenge a Psychic Master (III)

Chapter 587: Challenge a Psychic Master (III)

Long Haochen could also boost himself to the ninth step for a short period of time, but wasnt in possession of a spiritual pellet. That was the gap separating him from the real ninth step. At the time he managed to kill the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, a certain amount of luck was really involved. Crocell had no domain, and demon gods only had their magical crystal but no spiritual pellet. Furthermore, Crocells fighting strength was far from being as great as his ability of Clear Vision. Another demon god specialized in fighting could be a far tougher opponent for Long Haochen alone. That Chen Hongyu was using his spiritual pellet from the beginning showed visibly that he didnt look down on Long Haochen in the slightest, using his full strength from the beginning. A soft white glint rimmed Chen Hongyus body as if producing a gate of light. As Lin Xins Bursting Fireball was already close to Chen Hongyus front, Chen Hongyu lifted his right hand, and a white radiance immediately drifted from it. In the midst of the six spiritual pellet images surrounding his body, a strange looking rabbit-like magical beast appeared, swallowing the Bursting Fireball whole. What a strange sight! The high temperature and farrger fireball didnt detonate upon striking that rabbit, but instead disappeared at a frightening speed. That rabbit-type magical beasts belly suddenly erged, and when it reached the ground, a mouthful of mes was spurted toward Long Haochens group. What kind of magical beast was that? Let alone Long Haochen who couldnt recognize its type, even Chen Yinger was dazed. She didnt know about this kind of rabbit either! At the start of the battle, the two sides already made a full power sh. Chen Hongyus incantatory chant started immediately then, but mysteriously, the six spiritual pellets surrounding his body seemed to resonate mystically to his chant. It seemed that seven identically pitched chants were produced. Long Haochen parried the Heart of Fire shot back by the rabbit using the Divine Snail Shield in his left hand. In his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light stagnated, tracing an upward trajectory from the ground. Immediately, a reddish golden de projection wasunched at the distant Chen Hongyu, filled with extremely sharp sword intent. In fact, they were currently separated by about one hundred meters. A mere Bright Edge technique couldnt possibly reach Chen Hongyus body. However, Chen Hongyu sensed it differently. At the time Long Haochenunched this de projection, he feltpletely locked. Although it came from very far, the sharpness of that overwhelming sword intent acted directly on his chant, greatly affecting his incantation speed. What a powerful sword intent!?Chen Hongyus eyes contracted. He couldnt believe that these youngsters would really give him such pleasant surprises. At the same time Long Haochens attack wasunched, he led the rest of the team to charge toward Chen Hongyu. No matter in which circumstances, the most effective for a close-quarter fighter against a mage is to decrease the gap between the two sides. But not everyone charged at Chen Hongyu. Han Yu, Lin Xin, and Chen Yinger were left behind. Chen Yinger already started sitting cross-legged, sping her Crystal Ball in both her hands, with a focused and dedicated expression. Lin Xin was also chanting, with a different stance from Chen Yinger. During the chant, Lin Xins feet always remained on the move. Every one of his steps on the ground left a footprint carrying blue mes. These traces of me started to fluctuate intensely with spiritual energy, amplifying his output of spiritual energy. Han Yu was defending by their side, the Scarlet Blood sword inclined toward the ground, as his shield was held horizontally. One light spell after another was dispersed from his body. As a Guardian Knight, Han Yu was always overshadowed behind Long Haochen, but this didnt mean he wascking in strength. Quite the opposite, if he was put in another team, his current strength would absolutely qualify him as a king grade Demon Hunt Squads captain. His releases of halos followed at an extremely fast speed, not releasing them in a certain area but on set spots. Each halo was only aimed at one person, and provided at least a twice-higher amplification than area-targeted ones. Furthermore, these boosts wouldnt decrease with the increase of distance from the target. Long Haochens charging speed was extremely fast. At the very start, heunched Lightspeed sh and spread out the four wings on his back, covering a hundred meters in a sh and confronting Chen Hongyu already. He unexpectedly followed right behind his projected Light Thorn. Once again, the Aria of the Goddess of Light chopped against his de projectile, pouring its power back inside the divine sword, before slowly shing at Chen Hongyu. Chen Hongyus incantation didnt stop from beginning to end. Right as Long Haochen arrived in front of them, the six spiritual pellet images surrounding his body erged and sted at the same time, leaving six rings of light on his body. With frantic roars, six immense figures came out, sheltering Chen Hongyu from view behind them. These were six gori-like magical beasts. Each of the goris reached three meters height, had bloody eyes, and was full of tyrannical murderous spirit. One of the goris took the initiative to sweep at Long Haochen directly, shooting deep yellow rays of light at Long Haochen. Feeling his bodying to a standstill, he felt his body pulled directly to the ground as he was closing the gap. Gravity Technique. Thats an earth magic he was extremely familiar with. The Ninth Holy Guard was expert at using it, and these goris were also earth elemental magical beasts, whose Gravity Techniques even had cumtive results. Left with no time to determine the level of cultivation of these magical beasts, Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light still struck outwards. No ear-piercing shrill came out, just a reddish golden brilliance which psed in a sh, but instantly put the goris to a standstill. Immediately, a reddish golden light ray extended from his head to his toe, rushing out to the ground. The powerful gravity could restrict Long Haochens Lightspeed sh. Even a powerhouse of the ninth step would be dyed by the sixbined effects. But Gravity Technique couldnt contain Long Haochens sword intent. How could sword intent reaching the boundary of illuminated sword heart added up to the Aria of the Goddess of Light in a divine sword be so easy to deal with? This was the true start of the battle. The other five goris also acted, two of them throwing themselves respectively on Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, and thest three rushing at Long Haochen. The goris showed very good tacit understanding. Of the three dealing with Long Haochen, two directly pounced at him, while thest one beat on its own chest, before raising its arm where a yellow brilliance blossomed. A huge stone of a diameter of one meter andpletely made of energy was directly thrown at Long Haochen. In his battle state, Long Haochens looks gave apletely different feeling. His gaze was calm and cold, and his entire body emitted an irresistible sharpness. The Divine Snail Shield vanished, and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light took its ce, from an initial jadeite colored gloss. Immediately, Long Haochens body whirled in its original location, producing a spiral of red and green colors. The terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy also carried a domineering attractive force. In addition to the two goris rushing at him, even the one throwing its rock was immediately engulfed in this whirlpool. With miserable shouts, the two goris just disappeared. The whole whirlpool was only maintained for two seconds beforeing to a stop. And in a mingled red and green light, a dark blue crosscut projection was shot, shooting straight toward thest gori. This held no suspense. How could earth elemental magical beasts of the eighth rank possibly resist the harmonious match of the two divine swords? This third gori was instantly reduced to shreds, and the dark blue de projection directly chased after Chen Hongyus retreating figure. destorm was coupled with Instant Burst Crosscut. In this short destorm, Long Haochen didnt hesitate to pour arge amount of spiritual energy into using spiritual hignd, then poured inside the two divine swords in the midst of his cross cut. Haoyues evolution helped increase his spiritual energy one stage higher, while greatly boosting Long Haochens external spiritual energy. This enabled him to greatly reduce the bacsh as he controlled spiritual hignd. Therefore, even without Haoyues armor transformation, he was able to pour spiritual hignd energy into the two divine swords, although the spiritual energy consumption would also be massive that way. Long Haochens choice tounch a full force attack naturally had its basis. He believed firmly that with Chen Hongyus great status, hed surely have some contempt for them. But as the battle goes on, this contempt wontst for long. So he wanted to take advantage of Chen Hongyus current bias to create a decisive opportunity for their side. As a matter of fact, Long Haochens guess waspletely urate. Although Chen Hongyu regarded these youngsters very highly, he was after all the head of the Spiritual Temple. In his opinion, even if these youngsters were even stronger, they were in the end juniors. He indeed used his full strength, but didnt think Long Haochens bunch could be any threat to him. Seeing that dark blue radianceing in his field of view, Chen Hongyu finally understood that these youngsters were strong enough to threaten his life if this were a true battle. Taking a deep breath, Chen Hongyu let out a low shout. A ck brilliance rose from him, before immediately spreading out to take the shape of a dark purple htion. The four brilliances immediately shot out, folding together in the sky to bombard the dark blue radiance unleashed by Long Haochen. Chapter 588 - Subduction? (I)

Chapter 588: Subduction? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Caught in arge explosion, Long Haochen was violently shaken and couldnt keep chasing. On the two sides, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian were long since done dealing with the previous goris, but also sustained terrible after effects which stopped their advancing progress. The three of them gasped at the same time, and as shock appeared in their eyes, they also became even more serious. The deep purple radiance on Chen Hongyus body already disappeared after making its appearance. As that deep purple radiance was dispersing, the head of the Spiritual Temple was standing on a deep purple illumination. That wasnt a form of energy, but a tyrannical magical beast. The appearance of this magical beast alone shook the whole Fighting Beast Field. This magical beast was extended over more than forty meters, its huge wings unfolded on its back. On its whole body were deep purple scales, and its slender, majestic figure let out an extremely tyrannical dragon might. From its neck came out four heads, all of which were dragon heads. Every dragon head had different colored eyes of green, red, yellow and blue color. Looking at this magical beast, Long Haochen couldnt help but have a very queer feeling. Wasnt this magical beast a bit like an erged version of Haoyue? Its just that it only had four heads, but its atmosphere and cultivation were far above Haoyues. This was without a doubt a magical beast of the tenth step, and one controlling four different elements. That was the contracted beast of the Spiritual Temples head, a four-headed chimera. Chimeras are a kind of dragon, which can be called sub-dragons. But thats for the two-headed ones. If they can get their third head, they will be as strong as a real gigantic dragon. And a four-headed chimera is a magical beast of the antique type, surely an existence of the tenth rank, and standing on the peak of this tenth rank. Of course, four-headed chimeras wield totally different elements. The same went for this four-headed chimera of Chen Hongyus. Its four heads may not be peak masters in their own elements, but never forget that the four elements produce cumtive effects. Although the holy light element which is the greatest nemesis of darkness wasnt present, there was no need to doubt this four-headed chimeras power. And it had a pleasant name to hear, Xingxuan. Chen Yinger exined in advance the power of her grandfathers four-headed chimera. Among all known magical beasts of the tenth rank in history, Chen Hongyus four-headed chimera was absolutely in the top ten, far more powerful than the Forest Boa King Long Haochens group encountered. Even the Saw Skate King couldnt rival it in terms of total strength. Seated on his four-headed chimera, Chen Hongyu had a clear, unsightlyplexion. He didnt expect Long Haochens bunch topel him into fielding his contracted beast in such a short time. This loss of face naturally had to be retrieved. As he proceeded with a muffled chant, the four-headed chimeraunched a blunt offense towards Long Haochens group. Its immense tail swept across thend like a like a tsunami, aiming straight at Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian. That imposing power and force immediately horrified the three. Simultaneously pping their spiritual wings, the three of them flew without hesitation. Meet it head on? Dont dream, even Sima Xian, whos the most confident in his strength, wouldntmit such a foolish act! Thats a magical beast of the tenth rank which can eat whole bodies in a mouthful. That tail was about twenty meters long, with bulges growing all over and a sharp end point. One who would be swept by it would at least have his whole skin shred if not die. At this time, the battle already entered an intensified point. Right as Long Haochens group of three rose up, the four-headed chimeras four heads let out their simultaneous breaths, shot like hurricanes of four different elements engulfing the three of them. The terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy directly shook the whole Fighting Beasts Ground. This wasnt the first time for Long Haochen to be confronting a powerhouse of the ninth step. Facing such a situation, he didnt show the slightest timidity, and once in midair, didnt draw back, but, pping his four wings,unched another Instant Burst Crosscut. In an ear-piercingcerating sound, that deep blue color appeared once again in the sky, unexpectedly forcibly tearing the four colored breaths of the chimera. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian took the advantage earlier to ce themselves behind Long Haochens back, and drew back very rapidly. Long Haochen was left alone in front of the threat. In a sh of golden light, Yating appeared that time behind Long Haochens back, and immediately, a gloss of whitish goldnded on the incantating Chen Hongyu. Chen Hongyu felt an immense pulling force reach out abruptly. Even his spiritual energys cultivation was unable to stabilize his body, which was directly heading towards Long Haochen. That was Pull, the enhanced version. Once before, even the Lich King ate a severe loss. The attack he justunched was at full force, not sparing any cost of spiritual energy. Aside from the importance of seizing the initiative, it was also important that he close with Hongyu. His evolved Pull ability was simply of too great use against mages. They have a weak body, so if they are at close range...heehee. And dont forget that Chen Hongyu promised not to use any weapon or equipment. As expected, Chen Hongyu was greatly started by the Pull ability hitting, but the next one to suffer a loss wasnt him but Long Haochen. In a fierce collision of spiritual energy, Long Haochen was repelled and his dark green and reddish gold two-toned radiances only left two trails on the sky. As expected, Long Haochens Pull ability indeednded, but dont forget that he still had his contracted beast at his side. A contracted beast which was able to rise to the tenth rank of cultivation is not simply an aide in battle. Seeing Chen Hongyu about to enter Long Haochens attacking range, that huge chimera immediately glinted in purple color along with Chen Hongyus body. The next instant, a drizzling purple gloss appeared on Chen Hongyus body. When it shed against Long Haochen, his body was sent flying over more than a hundred meters distance, which naturally stopped the effects of the ability Pull. The four-headed chimera bluntly spit another breath, but this time, the four colored breaths made one, turning into a tyrannical elemental storm rushing toward Long Haochens group. That was the full strike blow from a magical beast of the tenth rank. Gather! Although Long Haochen was repelled, he hadnt sustained any serious injury. Right after his shout, the others were already done gathering, and this time, a multicolored golden light spread out from the front of Long Haochens body. The divine-tool-ss Divine Snail Shield used thebination of Shield Wall and Divine Obstruction. _Bang!_ An extremely violent explosion was discharged in the Beast Fighting Ground, and the surrounding walls shook intensely. All the defensive formations on the upper walls activated simultaneously as the terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy reached the ultimate peak this time. Chen Hongyus back was still dripping with cold sweat. The previous move was really close. If the four-headed chimera hadnt responded so promptly, he would really have been pulled into Long Haochens attacking range. Although hes a powerhouse of the ninth step, hes still a mage! If Long Haochens sword strike hadnded on him, he couldnt have borne the damage. The terrifying sword intent umted into Long Haochens two swords was something he could feel deeply. How could he use such a powerful pulling ability? Chen Hongyu was still gasping a bit for breath. The look he had became extremely vignt, from this point onwards, he wont look down on these seven opponents anymore. From the looks of it, Long Haochens group seemed to have suffered a loss, but in actual fact, Chen Hongyu wasnt much better. Under the protection of the four-headed medusa, he was confident in suffering no attacks from Long Haochens group, so he went all out in his incantation. But Long Haochens Pull suddenly interrupted that incantation, causing a hard-to-bear magic bacsh. If not for his high level of cultivation, he would have just been spitting blood. The thin radiances were on the move in the sky, but the elemental storm could only pass through the two sides of the Divine Snail Shield. This kind ofrge area attack was the most inefficient against the Divine Snail Shield. Although Long Haochens spiritual energy was still depleted at a frantic speed, his group remained as safe as houses on the same ground. Right at this time, Chen Yingers incantation was terminated. To a global deep shock, gates filled with immense life force emerged from Chen Yingers back, forming arge row. The instant this magicpleted, these gates of light formed another row in the Fighting Beast Ground. A total of eighteen gates had appeared in front of Chen Hongyu. Thats Creature Summoning Gates? Chen Hongyu and Sanshui Popo on the viewing tform both became dumbstruck. As powerful summoners, they were naturally able to use the Creature Summoning Gate. And with Chen Hongyus cultivation, hes able to use simultaneously six of these Creature Summoning Gates to summon tides of beasts against the demons. At the time of Chen Yingers awakening as the Spiritual Saint Girl, although her cultivation was far from sufficient, this Creature Summoning Gate she could wield since she was young also evolved, enabling her to simultaneously wield six of them. But how could there appear eighteen of them? In all the records of the Spiritual Temple, there had never been a summoner able to disy the terrifying sight of eighteen Creature Summoning Gates. Afterpleting her magic, Chen Yinger visibly became extremely tired. Sitting cross-legged at her original location, she murmured some words. Then, the hundred and eight spiritual pellets on her Spiritual Saint Robe lit immediately, supplying back her previous consumption. The greatest use of the Spiritual Saint Robe was as a supply of spiritual energy. In terms of efficiency, it was far beyondpare with Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor. Every spiritual pellet had a supply of 10,000 spiritual energy. In other words, Chen Yingers Spiritual Saint Robe could supply 1,800,000 units of spiritual energy. But of course, this had limitations as well: no matter the massive supply of spiritual energy, she was only able to simultaneously wield the amount of her total cultivation. Chapter 589 - Subduction? (II)

Chapter 589: Subduction? (II)

In other words, although being only a summoner of the seventh step, she could in practice use an almost unlimited amount of summoner spells of the seventh step. Of course, thats just in theory, as the full use of magic does not only expend spiritual energy, but also a massive mental force. Without a calm rest, shed hardly be able to keep performing summoning spells in this battle. These were eighteen Creature Summoning Gates! And with Chen Hongyu and Sanshui Popos abilities, they could naturally tell that these werent illusions as each of these ones were for real. When did this girl have so much secrets? Could the ability of the Spiritual Saint Girl be so terrible? Of course, they didnt know that these eighteen Creature Summoning Gates werent much rted to her being the Spiritual Saint Girl. It came from her fused spiritual stove, Time umtion! Originally, the seven who formed Longs group and even Zhang Fangfang too, the exception being Wang Yuanyuan, allpleted a fusion of spiritual stoves. Whats a spiritual stove? Thats a natural treasure, and even acquiring just one is an iparable source of yearning for any normal practitioner. But Long Haochens group allpleted spiritual stove fusions. At the time Chen Yingers spiritual stove fusion waspleted, it didnt seem so powerful in a lot of eyes, but as her cultivation grew, that Spiritual Stove of Time Replication gained in power as well. To wield with three times its power one full magical skill, although it could be done only once a day, really had a terrible instant power. Low roars and snarls came out immediately from the eighteen Creature Summoning Gates, pouncing on the four-headed chimera and Chen Hongyu. One could only admit that these Creature Summoning Gates were not much different from before. The magical beastsing out were still unevenly matched, some reached the second and the third rank while some reached the seventh or the eighth. The most powerful magical beasts toe out reached the eighth rank just like her cultivation. But the current Creature Summoning Gate was totally different from the past ones. They were real Creature Summoning Gates, which wouldnt terminate after calling out only one magical beast. An almost endless tide of magical beasts came out, frantically rushing out from her gates. In a few breaths, half of the Beast Fighting Field was full of these magical beasts. This instant even if Chen Hongyu was was, in short, great, hes a human, not a god. He knew very familiarly the Creature Summoning Gate. A summoner wielding it fully would be able to maintain continuous surges of magical beasts. The cultivation of the beasts is directly proportional with the summoners cultivation. But one mustnt forget that as the Spiritual Saint Girl, Chen Yinger has a consequent boost on all summoner magic, for instance, enabling her Creature Summoning Gates tost for no less than twice as long. The Fighting Beast Ground still had a limited space, and a high altitude flight forbidding magic array. In these circumstances, if Chen Hongyu allowed Chen Yingers Creature Summoning Gates to wield their full power, he was afraid to not even have enough space to set foot. Not daring to show any more reservations, Chen Hongyus eyes flickered. Folding his arms, his finger formed special gestures and low chants followed from him. Immediately a terrible spiritual storm took shape in front of him, and its milky white htion took the shape of an immense dragon skull, issuing a tyrannical dragon cry. This milky white dragon head was reallyrge in volume, to the extent of even enveloping the massive four-headed chimera. Along with its violent shout, the milky white radiance swept out like a huge wave. The vanguard of the magical beasts that came out from the eighteen Creature Summoning Gates immediately stopped upon contact with that terrible white tide, crawled to the ground and didnt dare get up, full of shivers. At the time this huge white wave made contact with the eighteen Creature Summoning Gates, they stopped showing effects and did not unleash any more magical beast. Beast Emperor Domain! Able to suppress or boost every magical beast in its scope. Among all domains cultivable by summoners, this Beast Emperor Domain was absolutely ranked among the best ones. Due to the the stimtion of the domain, the four chimeras massive body inted once again, letting out a terrible pressure which made Long Haochen close to unable to breathe. That was Chen Hongyus true strength as the head of the Spiritual Temple. Although until now, his only summoned beast was his contracted beast four-headed chimera, that instant, the whole battlefield became his. In the scope of the Beast Emperor Domain, he was like the controller of a thousand beasts. As the time of his domain increases, the magical beasts surging from the Creature Summoning Gate will instead enter in his control. Still want to continue? Chen Hongyu coldly asked. He didnt order the four-headed chimera to keep up the assault, as in the end, he didnt want to wound these youngsters. Such a formidable might should be enough to convince these youngsters to surrender in his opinion. Of course we are going on. In the midst of recuperating her mental force with her eyes shut, Chen Yinger suddenly opened her eyes, and her body started to float from the ground. This instant, it released a glistening luster of white color, a transparent white. The creature designs on the Spiritual Saint Robes seemed as if alive, moving rythmically in the midst of that white htion. A hundred and eight spiritual pellets blossomed with dazzling light. Her use of the Spiritual Stove of Time Replication to call out eighteen Creature Summoning Gates was for the sake of forcing out her grandfathers Beast Emperor Domain. In their battle ns, getting rid of this Beast Emperor Domain was her mission. For the sake of going to save Yang Wenzhao she had already beenpelling herrades to ept her grandfathers challenge. How could she not bear a heavier strain? Only she was really familiar with Chen Hongyus strength, and the might of his powerful domain. Exhaling a long breath, Chen Yinger chained three hand movements, and her eyes turned into an oozing milky white color. A white colored ball of light gradually taking shape in her hands, she shouted in her cute voice, Spirit Bestowal! The white colored ball of light shooting out directlynded onto her Crystal Ball floating alongside her. Immediately, the whole crystal ball turned into a milky white color, and immediately, a milky white pir of light shot vertically, aiming straight for the core of Chen Hongyus Beast Emperor Domain, that immense dragon skull. What a strange sight. Even the so powerful four-headed chimera didnt dare stand in front of the tiny white pir. It took a split second for it tond onto the dragon skull producing the Beast Emperor Domain. A baffling scene followed. The exhaled immense dragon head shook violently under the stimtion of the white glow. Chen Hongyu was shocked, finding out that he became unable to control his own domain. If he didnt withdraw it, his Beast Emperor Domain could copse at anytime. A domain wasnt made of spiritual energy, and would recuperate after its use. But in case it is destroyed, its user will suffer severe damage. Wasnt the Demon God of Death Saminaga a strong enemy? But having the half of his Domain of Death engulfed by the Tower of Eternity immediately inflicted severe damage on him. Not daring to take risks, Chen Hongyu hurriedly chanted to retrieve his Beast Emperor Domain. Immediately a brilliance spread as the immense dragon skull gradually shrank. Without the boost from the domain, the four-headed chimera regained its original size, and the magical beasts on the groundunched their assault. However, afterunching that white glow, Chen Yingers crystal ball let out a?Ding?sound and broke down. She also fell down from the sky, her mental force having gone past its limits, and she lost consciousness. The eighteen Creature Summoning Gates having lost their owner considered their duty as done, and disappeared in the sky one after another. However, before that, over a hundred magical beast hadunched their attack against the four-headed chimera and Chen Hongyu. In a sh of light, Han Yu caught the falling Chen Yinger and ced her on the ground. Speaking of which, Chen Yinger getting rid of her grandfathers domain was nothing less than an absurd feat. Indeed, Chen Hongyus Beast Emperor Domain was iparably powerful amongst all summoner domains, but dont forget whose power Chen Yinger inherited as the Spiritual Saint Girl. That was the mythological beasts power! How could a beast emperorpare with a mythological beast! So her use of Spirit Bestowal could be considered the release of the mythological beasts power. Even the beast emperor would tremble in front of that. So in front of Chen Yinger, Chen Hongyus domain was really inefficient. The fact that Chen Yingers ability of Spirit Bestowal could possibly suppress his own domain was told to her personally by Chen Hongyu. At that moment, Chen Hongyu felt a bit torn between tears andughter. The suppression of his domain made a rapid victory visibly impossible. Long Haochens team could be considered having sacrified the battle strength of their summoner of the seventh step in exchange for getting rid of Chen Hongyus most powerful ability, his domain. What a totally unfair trade! Long Haochen didnt rush to assault: these hundred beasts attacks were quite fierce, but he couldnt harmonize with them.. His figure shed, getting in front of Chen Yinger. A golden light extended from his right hand as Chen Yinger was teleported inside the Tower of Eternity, freeing them of worries. And, at this time Lin Xins chant, which he started at the same time as Chen Yingers Creature Summoning Gate, was finally finished. The Fire Cloud Staff was glinting in blue color, and immediately, that blue colored light underwent continuous changes. In Lin Xins surroundings a liquid-like blue htion rose, and behind him floated a one-meter-tall silhouette full of might. The Fire Cloud Crystal pointed forward, and, at the direction of the chimera, shot a thumb-wide blue ray. This blue ray didnt give off the feeling of spiritual energy, but seemed like real substance. Everywhere it passed, the air seemed to clearly be fresh and clean, and the Fighting Beast Ground seemed purified of all impurities in a split second. Chapter 590 - Subduction? (III)

Chapter 590: Subduction? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Vulcans Finger, a powerful fire element single targeted spell of the eighth step. Vulcans Finger was ranked among the best fire spells of the eighth step. It not only provided a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, but also required a powerful control to be utilized. Thats because the incantation willpress fire essence to the greatest extent, and in case of mistake a terrible bacsh will follow, and that terrible power may backfire on the user. To dareunch such a difficult spell of the eighth step at the seventh step cultivation, one could see the extent of Lin Xins self confidence. At this time, if Chen Yinger was still sober-headed, shed understand that it wasnt without basis that Lin Xin felt wronged that day. How could such a formidable offensive power be aimed at his ownrades? A bluish illumination instantly stretched across the whole sky. The four-headed chimera showed a look of disdain, and its fiery red eyed head let out a red-hot breath of fire. This concentrated breath traced a spiral in the sky, and formed a sort of spinning me spear, shing against Vulcans Finger. Lin Xin having used Heart of Fire to form Vulcans Finger, this magics might naturally reached the peak, even nearing the level of a fire spell of the ninth step. But that four-headed chimera was also a fully qualified powerhouse of the ninth step. Will his move seed? The instant the blue fire and red fire came into contact, an extremely strange scene followed. The red mes were thoroughly prated, and one could visibly see a shadowe out from it, heading for the chimeras body. Lin Xins strength was obviously iparable with the chimera, but although this four-headed chimera was a magical beast of the tenth rank, its power was in the end divided amongst four heads. Its most powerful aspect was the ability to wield four elements simultaneously, as well as to be a powerful magical beastbining both martial and magic prowesses. Its strength in pure magic still fell shortpared to a true mage of the ninth step. Against Lin Xins attack which was prepared for such a long time, it suffered arge loss. The magic sh came very fast, so the chimeras other three heads didnt have the time toe in support. Still, Lin Xins attack was still greatly weakened by the spit breath, so its damaging power couldnt be as severe. But as a mage, whose contracted beast is like a second life, how could Chen Hongyu stare nkly at hisrade getting wounded? His right hand stretched a finger, pointed forward, and another spiritual pellet image took shape from it, drilling through the chimeras mes to obstruct the way of Vulcans finger. The greatlypressed blue mes were suddenly attracted by the spiritual image pellet, heading toward Chen Hongyu which freed the chimera from danger. Chen Hongyu didnt care much about that blue ray. His body was surrounded from beginning to end by twisting waves, which immediately to rapidly disperse that ray. A summoner is originally even more frail than a mage, because they have even less defensive magic at disposal. How could Chen Hongyu have no measure for his own safety? He hadnt forgotten about the vanished assassin, and therefore put in ce a veryplete defense. His defensive magic currently in use was called Spiritual Protection, which is a formidable defensive magicbining spiritual energy and mental force. Able to produce an extremely astonishing defensive power, although it doesnt reach the level of the ninth step, it differs very slightly. And more importantly, this magic doesnt deplete much spiritual energy, and can be backed for a long time. Just as Chen Hongyu believed that the power of Vulcans Finger was close to termination, the blue ray suddenly disappeared, but gave way to a ck sh of light. It pierced a needle sized hole in the protective screen formed by Spiritual Protection, directly thrusting toward Chen Hongyu. _No good!_ Chen Hongyu was in great shock in this situation of danger. H e had no thought to spare for saving face and fiercely dodged backwards. A glowing-red light smelling of the odor of darkness stuck to his skin, burning a slice of his hair. If he hadnt showed a rapid response, he was afraid he would really be wounded by that move. That greenish-ck ray was like a needle of mes, treacherously concealed inside Vulcans Finger, and dug out only when Vulcans Finger was nearly extinguished. It not only had an extreme prative force, but was also noiseless. If Chen Hongyu didnt have the defense of Spiritual Protection to earn some time for himself, hed truly have suffered a terrible loss this time. Although this level of a strike wouldnt kill someone at his level of cultivation, those fires imbued with darkness would definitely have brought no good results when drilling inside his body. Lin Xin stomped on the ground afar, disconstely retorting, So close! Chen Hongyus sorry figure also astonished Long Haochen and the others, who couldnt help but have a whole new level of respect for Lin Xin. This was not just one spell, but two mixed together. And they didnt know where that greenish ck fire needle came from either. Vulcans Finger was originally a spell of higher step, and he unexpectedly used it to cover up yet another spell. From this Lin Xins level of control in fire magic could be well seen. It was really extremely fine. Originally, Lin Xin was naturally not making such plot against Chen Hongyu, as that was Chen Yingers grandfather, but the four-headed chimera. It was by chance that Chen Hongyu redirected it, and almost suffered a terrible loss. Has-drugs-bro, what spell was that? Sima Xian asked in astonishment. Lin Xin had a mischievousughter in response, Vulcans Fingerbined with Hellfire Needle, wasnt that awesome? Awesome! Sima Xian wasnt stingy of praise in the slightest, and made a thumbs up. Cojoined Spiritual Boost! Long Haochen shouted loudly. Just as Lin Xins Vulcans Finger showed stunning effects, Long Haochen summoned Haoyue. This loud shout immediately made everyone react, and except from the still concealed Caier, everyone jumped to Haoyues back. Where could Lin Xins Hellfire Needlee from? Long Haochen recalled it after pondering, that originally, there had obtained a Crown of Heritage glinting in greenish ck fire after killing a demon gods sessor, which was naturally passed at this time to Lin Xin. As a fire mage, maybe he could find some use for it. And everyone had long since forgotten about this Crown of Heritage. Now it looked that Lin Xin didnt pour any of his own spiritual energy inside, after all this Crown of Heritage was emitting a fierce aura of darkness. If fused inside his Heart of Fire, it would probably show the opposite reaction instead. In actual facts, Lin Xin made a special magic concealed inside his body thanks to that Crown of Heritage. Its special fire was able to regenerate autonomously, making an extremely pure corrosive fire. Lin Xins tolerance was only three of these Hellfire Needles. Through his incessant use of Heart of Fire to refine them and his progress, these Hellfire Needs were not below a spell of the eighth step. That was his killing weapon, that he had just used for the first time. The previous spell that waspleted was only Vulcans Finger alone, but at thest juncture, this needle was poured inside Vulcans Finger. Dont look down on this assimtion! The concealment of a Hellfire Needle inside Vulcans Finger without rejection was even concealed from the head of the Mage Temple. This level of spiritual energy control can be rated as the work of a grandmaster. Lin Xin showed a control exceeding his current cultivation step! Behind Long Haochen were Wang Yuanyuan, then Lin Xin, Sima Xian and Han Yu, making a total of five people, who all swallowed a Cojoined Spiritual Pill. As Long Haochen was standing on the thick neck linking Haoyues six heads, the other four formed a row on his back. Powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy passed through his arm, as Long Haochens imposing manners immediately rose severalfold higher. The Conjoined Spiritual Boost enabled users to boost spiritual energy, and the Golden Foundation Armor too. But how do these two differ? It differs in that the Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills applies to every one of Long Haochens attacks, while at most the Golden Foundation Armor and Star King boost his total storage. The Cojoined Spiritual Boosting applies for a short time, but during this time Long Haochens offensive power gains a whole level. And that was their present final solution when facing a powerful enemy. This was Haoyues first appearance in the battlefield after gaining his sixth head. Lifting all his heads forward and pping the wings on his back, he let out a snarl while brazenly elevanting himself high in the sky. With a light movement, his amethyst colored scales produced dense purple fluctuations. All six heads lifted up. Despite that he was still far from the four-headed chimera in volume and cultivation, the instant Haoyue appeared on stage, hepletely overwhelmed Chen Hongyus contracted beast in imposing manners. With this howl of fury, a dense purple intent was liberated from Haoyues body. As it spread to the whole battlefield, he faced the four-headed chimera which had just been dealing with those magical beasts that came out from the Creature Summoning Gates. But the instant the purple intent spread, all magical beasts turned their heads to look at Haoyue, including also the four-headed chimera. Feelings of rm even exceeding the time of the appearance of the Beast Emperor Domain arose in them, and even the four-headed chimera was no exception. From the outside, Haoyue and the four-headed chimera had a great resemnce in their multiple heads, wings, and shapes close to dragons. The difference was that Xingxuans heads looked closer to dragons, or rather had fundamentally the look of dragons, and her scales were a lot more thick. But in terms of color, the amethyst colored glowing out from Haoyues body was even more brilliant. The instant Xingxuans look gathered on Haoyues body, this magical beast of the tenth rank immediately halted, and didnt even dareunch an attack at the magical beasts attacking below. Therge wings originally maintaining her body floating shivered incessantly, unable to even maintain her massive body floating. With arge bang, it fell to the ground and crushed some lower ranked magical beasts. Chapter 591 - Six-Headed Medusa? (I)

Chapter 591: Six-Headed Medusa? (I)

Haoyue looked like he didnt even put the four-headed chimera in his eyes, and held his sixrge heads high with a bellow, proudly standing like a minor sovereign king. This scene was totally unexpected. Even Long Haochen himself couldnt help but look on in a daze. This was just as hisrades had just taken Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, preparing to enter his most supreme mode to confront Chen Hongyus test. But Chen Hongyus strongest contracted beast suddenly fell to the ground, and after having gotten out of the way of the Hellfire Needle, Chen Hongyu nearly fell from its back. That was really a monstrous situation. After all, as that wasnt an enemy, Long Haochen didnt choose to take advantage of this opportunity tounch an attack against Chen Hongyu. How could that be? Chen Hongyus shock was extreme. Milky-white soul fluctuations were spread out from his body, covering the chimera Xingxuan, but things turned out contrary to his wishes. His boost didnt show any utility as Xingxuans trembling became only more and more distinct. The four heads were all pressed against the ground, foam starting toe out from their mouths and noses. This time, Chen Hongyu couldnt attend to testing Long Haochens group further. To a summoner, a contracted beast is like an extension of their own life! In case something happens to the contracted beast, the summoners cultivation is bound to suffer a severe blow and maybe even a fatal wound. What did you do to Xingxuan? Chen Hongyu was enraged, but looking clearly at Haoyues appearance, he couldnt help but look nk. Long Haochen was also greatly amazed at Xingxuans state, because he hadnt told Haoyue tounch the slightest attack. And Xingxuan being a magical beast of the tenth rank, how could any of Haoyues attacks even beat her? For a moment, he was totally confused and unable to make heads or tails of the situation, hurriedly getting off from Haoyues back. In a sh, his figure appeared beside Chen Hongyu, and on his back, Caiers figure noiselessly emerged. If that was a real enemy, the previous instant Chen Hongyu shouted loudly at Long Haochen would be the best opportunity to make her move. Senior, we didnt do anything, and didnt even attack! The Conjoined Spiritual Pills effects were still present, but because they werent released, Long Haochens body felt unpleasant, barely suppressing the Cojoined Spiritual Pills bacsh, as he spoke these words very helplessly to Chen Hongyu. Seeing that he wasnt even able to transmit his thoughts to Xingxuan, Chen Hongyu unexpectedly sweated profusely, You didnt do anything? But look at how Xingxuan became. Its that magical beast, your magical beast. Dont tell me that it could even suppress her blood? After all, he was the Spiritual Temples head. As Chen Yinger said, in this world, no one had a better understanding of magical beasts than her grandfather. Mentioning a blood purity suppression, Chen Hongyus eyes became filled with unbelief. And when looking further at Haoyues appearance, he looked as if seeing a monster, and couldnt help but tremble profusely. That cant be A six-headed chimera Chen Hongyus looked lifelessly at Haoyue, both his hands and feet ice-cold for a moment. He hadnt forgotten about Xingxuans predicament, and hastily told Long Haochen, Hurry up, send your mount back, fast! Hisst word became almost a howl; from this, one could see the terrible eagerness filling him. Long Haochen didnt dare tarry overlong, and rapidly turned back, making a gesture to Haoyue who gave ast look of disdain to Xingxuan before lifting his head and disappearing in the midst of a purple illumination. What a mysterious sight followed. The instant he disappeared, Xingxuans shaking came to a stop, and she stopped spitting foam. But the other magical beasts who werent as lucky were all shrouded in the purple intent released by Haoyue. At the very moment, they were all limp, and the ones lower in cultivation even died directly. The ones higher in cultivation were still in limp states. For a moment, magical beast urine kept flowing, covering the whole Fighting Beast Ground with an unpleasant smell. Haoyues departure made Chen Hongyu greatly rx. Turning his eyes toward Long Haochen, his look became totally different, as if looking at a monster. The four-headed chimera was also gradually recovering, and fast at that, being a magical beast of the tenth rank. Raising all four heads, it didnt have the slightest residue of frightened demeanor. And in particr when looking at Long Haochen, its massive body drew back, taking the initiative to return to where it was summoned, not even calling out atst to Chen Hongyu. Senior, what just happened? Long Haochen had great difficulty to suppress the bacsh of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills, but totally unable to make heads or tails of what was originally an extremely ordinary test turning to such a theatrical sight, how could he show no astonishment? Chen Hongyu firmly stared fixedly at Long Haochen, Where have you gotten that mount from? Tell me! Long Haochen replied, From the Knights Sacred Mountain. Impossible. Chen Hongyu cut him off categorically, How could your Knights Sacred Mountain have a six-headed chimera in it? Dont you know what six-headed chimeras are? Long Haochen looked at Chen Hongyu in astonishment, Are you saying that Haoyue is a six-headed chimera? Chen Hongyu nodded without any hesitation, For certain. Otherwise how could he have exhibited such an intense blood purity suppression towards Xingxuan? Even a more powerful magical beast never achieved that. The others were all encircling them, and even the spectators Sanshui Popo and Zhang Fangfang hade down. Sanshui Popo remarked, You should know what blood purity suppression is. Magical beasts are formed up of many races. And in every race exist different strict categories. Thats the system of ss between magical beasts, an aspect that is a bit simr to us humans. Simply speaking, there are dissociations likemoner and nobles among magical beasts, and in front of the noble ones,moners of the same race would be greatly suppressed, thats their blood purity suppression. Therefore, when a war happens in a same race, the contest of power will always be between the nobles of highest blood status. If the difference between their blood statuses is veryrge, due to the suppression by the powerful one, a battle will absolutely not ur. Only when the purity in their blood doesnt differ a lot, can a battle possibly break out. Let me give you a simple example. Sanshui Popo pointed at Han Yus Demonic Eye Commander, Your Demonic Eye is at themander level. If a despotic levelled Demonic Eye was here, its strength would be bound to be greatly suppressed. Theres no way it could even move against the Despotic Demonic Eye. Listening to Sanshui Popos exnation, everyone gained a better understanding of blood purity suppression. At this moment, Chen Hongyu had calmed down greatly, taking a deep tone, Just before, Xingxuan was like an ordinary Demonic Eye seeing a Despotic Demonic Eye when seeing your six-headed chimera, which is why it was so unbearable for her. If exposed for too long to the six-headed chimeras presence, that could possibly even threaten her life. Now I finally understand why the Demon God Emperor values you so highly. You have on your side a god, which can even threaten the demons rule. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, Temple Head, just wait. I feel that something is wrong. Just now, Senior Sanshui said that a Tyrannical Demonic Eye would suppress a Demonic Eye Commander, and thats what blood purity suppression is. But the premise is that the Tyrannical Demonic Eye is far more powerful than a Demonic Eye Commander! But Haoyue isnt the same, hes at most a magical beast of the ninth rank, who even evolved recently. Theres some gap with your four-headed chimera. Theres a wide gap between a magical beast of the ninth rank and the tenth rank. How could he inflict natural suppression to your four-headed chimera? What did you just say? Ninth rank? This cant be! How could a six-headed chimera be a magic beast of the ninth rank? Chen Hongyu almost lost his voice. Long Haochen dered helplessly, Thats how things are. Haoyue is really a magical beast of the ninth rank. And one that has evolved not long before, mypanions can confirm these facts. Chen Hongyus look became lifeless. This shock came from the fact that, even with his knowledge on magical beasts, this situation far exceeded his understanding. Taking a deep breath and suppressing his shock, Chen Hongyu dered, Lets do this, I will tell you what I know about chimeras, and then you will tell me what you know about this contracted magical beast of yours. If your magical beast is really only reaching the ninth rank, it surely has an extraordinary background, surely even exceeding the whole category of the chimeras. Sanshui Popo suddenly interrupted Chen Hongyu, What about Yinger? How is she? Long Haochen, where have you put her? Long Haochen replied, I have transported her to a safe ce, using one of our divine tools enabling us to teleport people freely. She should have gone past her mental forces limits, and will recover after a time of rest. I can teleport her back right now. Sanshui Popo was in the end not relieved about Chen Yingers circumstances, and immediately nodded for Long Haochen to activate his teleportation. The Eternal Melody released golden fluctuation, and transported the still unconscious Chen Yinger back in front of everyone. After checking her body condition for a bit, and confirming that she lost consciousness only due to the overuse of her mental force, she finally rxed, and ced a mental force recovering pill in Chen Yingers mouth. Chen Hongyu couldnt even manage his granddaughter, despite having studied magical beasts his whole life, and suddenly finding out a total mystery, a special magical beast he had never even heard abouthis shock was just too great. At the same time Sanshui Popo treated Chen Yinger, he already started speaking about the ancestry of chimeras. Chimeras are a special kind of dragons, referring to beings with mixed bodies originating from ancient times. In other words, irrelevant things put together gave birth to a new kind of creature. That may sound hard to understand, but the chimeras existence is the living proof of this theory. Chapter 592 - Six-headed Chimera? (II)

Chapter 592: Six-headed Chimera? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales In ancient times, the dragon race was prosperous and ruled over the whole continent. That time was when dragons were the most tyrannical, not only greedy and violent, but also totally depraved. They show lust toward any kind of creature, and therefore, their uninhibited mating gave birth to many species of sub-dragons. For instance, the current beings known as Earth Dragons have such origins. Chimeras are the same, a powerful kind of sub-dragons. The first time one appeared, itbined the extremely rarely seen poison elemental gigantic dragon and a magical beast of lizard species. Their posterity sustained variation, turning into poison and darkness dual-elemental two-headed dragons. But this chimeras strength was inclined towards its darkness elemental lizard side, and maybe because these two bloodlines showed a very strongpatibility, two-headed chimeras started to be more and more numerous. After several thousand years of reproductions, due to the survival of the fittest, the race of darkness lizard gradually went extinct. And when poison dragons died out, the chimera race finally formed. Although these chimeras were far from being as powerful as their poison dragons ancestors, they seeded their greed, and started attacking other races and invading, and established themselves in the whole continent. Chimeras had a very great vitality, and while reproducing, their bloodlines started to show even more changes. At most, these changes were in the elemental aspect, and didnt touch upon their appearance. They can be counted as one of the most well-known antique races, and after undergoing continuous evolutions, the chimera race gradually started to grow more powerful beings. Their power was calcted depending on the numbers of heads. Two-headed chimeras would at most reach the initial stages of the ninth rank. But three-headed chimeras were near the edge of the tenth rank, disying strength close to gigantic dragons. Four-headed chimeras are known as dragon killers, and despite having dragon blood, their most favorite food is gigantic dragon. And, after reaching four heads, the chimeras total strength already exceeded gigantic dragons. Just before, I was afraid of wounding you, so I didnt let Xingxuan disy her full strength. Reaching this point, Long Haochens group finally gained knowledge on the kind of creatures known as chimeras. Long Haochen couldnt help but raise the question, Senior, how about six-headed chimeras? Chen Hongyu nced at Long Haochen before responding extremely seriously, There is such a legend. The four-headed chimeras monarchs, known as Chimera Emperors were the five-headed chimeras appearing in legends and acimed as demi-gods, venerated by all chimeras. As for the six-headed ones... A tint of dread filled Chen Hongyus eyes, In the history of the chimeras, there has never appeared chimeras with six heads or more. And in the legends, six-headed chimeras are said to be gods, gods of destruction of the same level as dragon gods. So in ancient times, six-headed chimeras were symbols of destruction and ruin. Thats why I was so shocked when seeing your mount. If that was really a six-headed chimera, he could very possibly be a threat not below demons. Long Haochen gasped, Senior, are you certain that Haoyue is a six-headed chimera? Chen Hongyu unhappily replied, Certain, what farts! If that was a six-headed chimera, Xingxuan and I would have died just before. On the basis of the chimeras destructivity, it would absolutely not permit existences offending it to live. Still, Im very doubtful. If that magical beast of yours isnt a chimera, he should have at least some chimera blood in him, or even have achieved a series of evolutions to turn into this form. But if it doesnt have a pure lineage as a chimera, why would its blood purity suppression towards Xingxuan be so high? Haochen, tell me in precise details your story with that mount. Long Haochen gave a nod, then talked about his original arrival in Knights Sacred Mountain, how his search for a magical beast there had failed, and how in the end, a teleporting array was used to summon Haoyue. When Chen Hongyu heard the part about how Long Haochen helped to change Haoyues fate with his own blood and forcefully changed his element, he couldnt help but feel moved, as his stretched expression eased up. ... And a few days ago, we were just done assisting Haoyue inpleting hisst evolution in that realm of his, resisting the attacks from an undead creature from there. Thats why I can affirm that he has just acquired his sixth head! After pondering for a short while, Chen Hongyu remarked, I dont know what kind of existence your mount is either. I dont have any clues. Long Haochen asked, You dont know either? And could he be rted to the chimera race? Chen Hongyu shook his head, Thats hard to say. The most possible would be that one of the chimeras forebears had manage to travel through that other realm after reaching a sufficient level of cultivation, and that continuous transformations due to the influence of that world finally gave birth to a generation of powerhouses. But now, I can be certain that your mount is extremely destructive. Its ancestor surely left indelible memories of terror, otherwise there wouldnt be such colossal amounts of undead creatures attacking you every time he achieves an evolution. Secondly, theres a great difference between chimeras and your magical beast. Although it has six heads, it definitely cannotpare with an emperor or half-god chimera, let alone a god level chimera. Thats because his cultivation is only at the level of a human powerhouse of the eighth step. Do you know what this means? Long Haochen shook his head. Chen Hongyu continued, It means that he will surely continue to evolve, and even very possibly acquire a seventh head, maybe even an eighth. Eh? How did you determine this? Long Haochen asked in iprehension. Beside, Sanshui Popo stepped in, Isnt that an obvious thing? Whats the most important for a magical beast to evolve? Its their blood purity. Our old mans four-headed chimera has the strength of a magical beast of the tenth rank. For your magical beast to suppress her sopletely, it would be stranger for it to be unable to reach the tenth magical beast rank. In the future, it will be far more powerful than Xingxuan, but as it is only at the eighth step for now, could it not keep evolving? Summoners spend their lives having dealings with magical beasts, so no one else was more used to magical beasts than them. Hearing the exnation from Sanshui Popo, Long Haochen immediately understood. Chen Hongyu exined, Your six-headed mount is perhaps not a chimera. None of his heads looks as powerful as a chimeras, but I cannot determine what strength he could reach in the future. But I am certain that its bloods purity is above a chimeras, and that its degree of nobility could perhapspare with a dragon god. I managed to determine this for two reasons residing in the difference between your mount and a chimera. Chimeras may have a lot of heads, but in practice they all share the same line of thoughts, which is to say that no matter how many heads they have, their thoughts will be the same. But your mount is not the same, as you have said that each of his heads has its own process of thought, only sharing amon body. Even among antique magical beasts,these existences are very rare, and the only ones I can point out only have two processes of thought. I dont even dare imagine a magical beast with six processes of thoughts. I didnt think I would see such a thing in my life. The second point is their utilization of elements. Chimeras have different elements at their disposal, but their only offensive magic ability is the use of their breath. Although these breaths have many uses, it is after all different from magic. But based on what you have said, his real strength is far above his official cultivation rank, because your magical beast can cast many kinds of magic on his own, to attack, defend or even support. These two aspects put together make him extremely intelligent. Just imagine, what if a human had six brains to process thoughts and make decisions. What degree do you think his intelligence would reach? Hearing Chen Hongyus exnation, Long Haochen had a sudden sh of insight. Although Chen Hongyu didnt know what kind of magical beast Haoyue was, he at least gave suppositions on Haoyues possible antecedents and variations. Lin Xin, who was standing nearby, asked, Temple Head Chen, based on what you said, if Haoyue has some chimera blood, couldnt he be very dangerous? If he evolves in the future to an even more powerful state, cant he be extremely destructive? Chen Hongyu had a faint smile, At first, I had such worries, but it is not the case anymore, because of the way he came to our realm. Haochen even changed his elemental attribute when arriving in this world through his blood. To say nothing of the favor to such a savior, this change caused thepletion of their blood contract, establishing Haochen as master. Do you know what this means? Among summoners such as us, themon final goal is not to have an extremely powerful contracted beast, but a blood linked beast. A blood contract is known as a contract of absolute fidelity. As long as it ispleted, it will persist eternally until death. This blood contract between Haochen and Haoyue is dominated by Haochen, making it so that their rtionship is much closer than any ordinary beast and their master. At the same time, the increase of the twos cultivation will keep affecting each other, which is to say that the progress of any party will cause a progress from the other one. I believe that Haochen has surely experienced this bit. If one day, Haochen dies, Haoyue will undoubtedly die as well, which is the result of this blood contract. In the opposite case, Haoyues death in battle wont affect Haochen. Unless one party is acknowledgingplete allegiance to the other one, and has a total trust and appreciation of the other, a magical beast will never forge such a bond with a human.

Chapter 593: Six-headed Chimera (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Of course, a blood contract has also some benefits for a magical beast: its evolving speed will greatly increase. Therefore, no matter to which level Haochens magical beast evolves, it wont ever cause an excessive destruction to this world. Taking a step back, if one day he really threatens humanity, as long as Long Haochen dies, he will die too. Chen Hongyu was speaking extremely calmly, but in the ears of Long Haochens group, his words had a strange tonality, especially to Long Haochen, who reminisced the moment Haoyue just came into this world in that weak and terrified state, looking possibly about to crumble at anytime. His look gradually became soft: right, no matter what secrets Haoyue holds, thats his blood contractedpanion. Having already devoted so much, what use was there to ponder any further about his abilities or origin? Senior, about your test... Long Haochen tried asking. Chen Hongyus look immediately became heavy. Since Haoyue suppressed Xingxuan forcefully, he had put this matter totally aside. Now that Long Haochen just mentioned it, looking impassible would be rather strange. Sanshui Popo red at her husband very unhappily. Neither she nor Chen Hongyu could say that the previous test doesnt count and that they should have another go. Their statuses being such, Chen Hongyu would sound really treachorous if he said that he had let Long Haochens group defeat him, but if he went back on his word, his face would be totally lost. Huh... After a long sigh, Chen Hongyu waved his hand, Youre free to go as you please. After that, he turned his head and left. Sanshui Popo couldnt help but swear at him, What a useless old fool you are! Chen Hongyu replied in fury, I am useless? Do you think these little guys are so easy to deal with? Havent you seen that assassin running around me? In actual fact, if Chen Hongyu hadnt the heart to aim to kill Long Haochens group, and still kept holding back to some extent from beginning to end, defeating them would really be a hard task, especially with his contracted beast suppressed by Haoyue. Still, although Chen Hongyu and Sanshui Popo were gloomy, their shock was much greater than their gloomy feelings. As expected from those who became a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, they were really resourceful. Sanshui Popo walked in front of Long Haochen while holding Chen Yinger in her arms, and dered, Long Haochen, remember that no matter what decision you make, as long as Yinger is staying well and in your team, the Spiritual Temple will always support you. But no matter no matter the reason, if something happens to her, our Spiritual Temple will regard you as mortal enemies, even if you someday be the chief of the Alliance. After saying that, she handed Chen Yinger to Wang Yuanyuan and turned round to leave. Standing at Long Haochens side, Caier murmured, What an unreasonable person! Lin Xin giggled, If Sanshui Popo could have some good sense, she wouldnt have such a reputation. But that person has never gone back on her word. Sima Xian dered, Boss, it seems that we won! Shouldnt we be cheering? Right, having passed through Chen Hongyus test, their team was finally reformed, and the Bright Glimmer of Hope was ready to depart for their new trip of missions. For the next little while, in the Spiritual Temples Beast Fighting Grounds the loud sounds of sudden bursts of cheering could be heard. Nightfall. After having dinner, Long Haochen returned to his room early. After having the test in the morning, he went to look for the Yue Ye Merchant Group in the afternoon. Until now, the news had yet toe, so they could only keep on waiting. Without urate news, moving rashly wouldnt show any results. At the same time, he posted a letter to the Alliance, reporting for Yang Haohan that his team was done gathering, and that he was waiting for the Alliance to assign a mission to them. Theirstpleted mission had already been a matter of two years ago, so everyone had feelings of impatience. Maybe this was not really for the sake ofpleting the mission in itselfpleting the missions for their own sake. Ever since the start of the Holy War two years ago, the demons global offenses inflicted massive damage on the Alliance but in the same time, the demon side also incurred severe losses. But on therge scale, the global damage from both sides wasnt toorge, though their mid-to-low range forces went into a steep decline. This Holy War felt very challenging to the human side, but also brought them a little hope, the hope of victory. After all, humankind was still holding on. Even the Southern Mountain Pass which has the weakest defensive force didnt let the demon forces enter into their territory. Simply holding up through it all was a kind of victory for the Alliance, and fed their self-confidence in achieving a final victory. What did the demons have? Outside from the ability of reproduction and a great ruling system, they didnt have much else. And could the resources endlessly umted by humankind since the start of the dark age six thousand years ago be exhausted by this mere Holy War? In a contest of recovery speed, the human side absolute didnt believe themselves to be inferior to the demon side. Therefore, in the Temple Alliances nobility, fundamental strategic changes happened. Of course, the current human side wouldntunch a counterattack, but kept paying attention to preserving their strength, while gaining in valuable experience and knowledge against demons. The gap was still present, but it didnt mean it was impossible to fill it, right? After Haoyues new evolution, the purple color released from his body was called blood purity force by Chen Hongyu. After his evolution, Haoyue would surely be able to destroy demon god pirs even more easily than before. If they could make it into demon territory and destroy some more demon god pirs, they would achieve new milestones at every victory! Since two years ago when Long Haochen started his secluded training, he had already made his resolve to destroy as many demon god pir as possible to greatly shake the demons foundation. The demon side being so powerful, he didnt believe himself to be able to wipe them out thoroughly, but as long as they could be weakened to some extent, in the end, humans could one day prevail over them. _Bam, bam, bam._ As Long Haochen was pondering over the future of Bright Glimmer of Hope, knocks were heard. Opening the door, Caier was charmingly standing outside. Caier, quicklye in. Long Haochen weed her in the room, when, right after he closed the door, Caier suddenly threw herself on his back, tightly embracing his backs figure. Long Haochen could feel an instability in her emotions, and even felt a moist feelinging from hispel. Immediately he became greatly startled, Caier, what happened to you? Turning back, Long Haochen epted her embrace. Right now, Caier was d in a ck long skirt, entuating her snowy skin. In these two years Caier grew up too, her figure bing taller, but its feeling of softness didnt change in the slightest. Taking her in his embrace gave off a really splendid feeling ofpletion. Her tender waist and her bodys warmth immediately gave uncontroble feelings to Long Haochen. They were already grown up and didnt have the same pure love as in their youth. The contact of their bodies would hardlye without intense physiological reactions. Long Haochen felt his arm shivering, as images of the naked Caier in the Illusory Shrine couldnt help bute back in his mind. For a moment, he felt surges of heat. He had far too many things to shoulder. Only at the times he could be alone with her was his heart appeased a bit. Haochen. Caier raised her head, coiling her thin arms around Long Haochens neck like a snake, actually taking the initiative of pressing her lips to his. As he was her only love target, how could Long Haochen resist in front of such enticement? Four lips pressed together, blending inexperience with young tenderness. Caiers lips were very cold, still shaking, but her movements were very intense. Tightly holding Long Haochens neck, it seemed as if she was afraid of letting go of him. Cold gradually turned into heat, and their breathing became hurried. Their clothes scattered around, and the instant the two of them fell to the bed, Caier couldnt help but let out soft groans. Their primitive instincts led them to search for the origins of life. In the end, the instant Caier found out that moment of warmth, her body suddenly convulsed. No, dont! She suddenly shouted loudly, disregarding everything. Long Haochens rough breathing suddenly came to a stop. Hearing her sudden reverberating shout, his limpid eyes suddenly sobered up. Caier struggled to sneak out from his embrace, embracing the quilt as she burst into tears. The me of desire gradually came down, as Long Haochen was standing full of shock in front of this scene. From the moment Caier entered, something seemed to be wrong. But the two of them having rapidly gotten caught up in their desires, Long Haochen became full of shock and confusion at her current change. Caier, what happened? Long Haochen advanced hastily, not daring to make contact with her and his forehead dripping with sweat, Its my fault, I shouldnt have Im sorry, so please dont take offense? What happened to you? Caier shook her head with force as her tears dispersed due to the shaking, No, its not your fault. Im in the wrong, I just cant, I cant... Saying that, she burst into tears under Long Haochens embrace. Even when facing a demon god, Long Haochen didnt feel at such loss as now. He really loved Caier, and looking at her pained appearance, he became torn with grief. Furthermore, he had absolutely no idea of why Caier became like that. Chapter 594 - Inescapable Net (I)

Chapter 594: Inescapable Net (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # After a long time, Caiers emotions gradually stabilized, only letting out tiny sobs. Long Haochen didnt even dare ask or look too much at Caier, because they were totally bare! To reduce the feelings of enticement, he had no choice but to wrap the quilt around Caiers body, consoling her gently. # Raising her head, Caier looked at Long Haochen with a still hazy face, Sorry Haochen, I cant # Long Haochen shook his head with haste, Its nothing, I was just too hurried. # Wiping the sweat on Long Haochens forehead, Caier tightly nestled in his embrace, Its my fault, Im just too afraid of losing you. # Seeing her emotions as rather stabilized, Long Haochen finally attempted to ask, Caier, what do you mean? He absolutely didnt believe that Caier cried so bitterly just because of the excessive intimacy. # Caier lowered her head, Ever since losing my memories, I believed that there should be another person in me that should receive your love, and thats the past me. Today, when we faced the test of Yingers grandfather, this feeling was especially distinct. When everyone reported to you, raising our morale, I could see how dedicatedly and dearly they viewed these past memories. But I dont have such memories, I dont have any of them. That instant, I felt just like a total stranger. I am not that Caier in your heart anymore, right? But at the same time, I love you just as much. Did you know about that? Despite wanting to regain my memories, I am also very afraid of that. # Without regaining my memories, I wont be able to confirm your feelings for me. But if I regain them, wont the current me disappear, eternally unable toe back? Thats why Im really scared, and dont like that feeling at all. Im afraid of losing you forever, which is why I came to you, wanting to offer you my most precious thing. But just that instant, I suddenly realized that all of this doesnt belong to me, but to that other me. Thats why I cannot give myself to you, I just cant # # Hearing her so mournful voice, Long Haochen became silent. He asked himself whether the one he liked was really the past Caier? # # Just as Caier said, after her loss of memories, some changes happened in her emotions. The depressed feelings she had due to her memories having yet toe back were known by Long Haochen more than anyone else. # # However, his way of thinking wasnt like Caiers. No matter whether it is before or after losing her memories, Caier was still Caier. Its just that her memories were separated in two parts, which is why he could patiently wait. # # Lightly stroking her disordered hair, Long Haochen said in a low voice, You are really an idiot. Why would you think that way? I love Caier, her everything. Be it your body, your hair, or even your little drops of sweat. No matter whether it is before or after you lost your memories, you are just you, my Caier. All you have lost were memories, you dont have to worry about losing your current self after getting them back. Thats because they will only fuse back, and wont possibly take over or erase each other. # # Hearing Long Haochens words, Caier gradually calmed down from her emotional state. Drawing close to him, she didnt say anything, but her shaking calmed down greatly. # # Caier, did you know? Actually I am very happy, much more than if we were ordinary lovers. At this point, Long Haochen stopped, voluntarily cutting in the crucial part. # # As expected, his words roused Caiers curiosity. She lifted up her head to look at him, eyes red and inmed from crying, and asked, Why? # # Long Haochen kissed her forehead with a smile, Thats because my lover fell in love with me twice! Just think, if after your memoriese back, your two loves for me be one, how can it not make you love me even more? Just how much luck do I have to be able to live such a thing? So you dont need to worry, be it your past self or your present self, I will love both without reservations. I wont hide from you that, deep inside, I still wish for you to recover your previous memories, because I hope for you to remember our happy times from the past. # # But I will never press you to recover your memories. We should just let nature follow its course. But no matter what, and no matter when, you dont have to worry about losing me. As long as I am alive, you will always be the only one I have feelings for. Even after death or reincarnation, you will still be my only one. # # When I was young, I didnt understand what love is. But now I understand, it is about always thinking of someone, about longing for that person, taking care of that person, watching attentively, embracing, kissing and being willing to sacrifice anything for your sake. I love you and love your everything. Your memory loss definitely wont cause me to divide you up. I definitely wont make any distinctions just because you have lost your memories. It only pains me and makes me want to treasure and protect you all the more, because I havent been protecting you well. # # Haochen Caier shouted loudly, struggling free of the quilt and suddenly throwing herself at him, deeply hugging him. Her tears burst out once again, but this time, not out of pain but happiness. # # In the morning, Long Haochen appeared in front of the group with dark circles under his eyes, and outside of the absent Caier, everyone else seemed to beughing up their sleeves. # # Their rooms in the Spiritual Temple were very close, so the loud shout from yesterdays Caier would be heard by anyone whos not deaf. Adding to that the fact that Caier hadnt returned to her room the whole evening, one could well imagine what they were doing. # # Long Haochen looked as if nothing happened on the surface, but he was the only one who knew about his pains. On the previous night, what happened was beyond the description of persecution. # # After waking from her tears of happiness, Caier rapidly fell asleep in his embrace, a very tight embrace. To let her have a good rest, Long Haochen avoided making any noise. # # In the embrace of their most beloved, the two of them were devoid of the slightest barrier of clothes. Having just reached his twenties, his vitality was able to even match the purity of his light essence. # # The results went as one can well imagine: the captain of the squad Bright Glimmer of Hope stood upright for a whole night, but by chance, his physical functions were sufficient or he could maybe really have broken down due to the excessive blood flow. # # At the time Caier became awake, she immediately panicked in blushes when thinking about the situation from that time. After bathing in cold water for a quarter of an hour, she came out, but couldnt show a nice expression. # # I am going back to ask for news from the Yue Ye Merchant Group. Long Haochen couldnt bear the provokingly explicit looks from the others, and escaped in a rush. After shutting the door, he could hear a burst ofughter behind him. Blushing in spite of himself, he had the fierce thought that the next time such a thing happens, he definitely had to eat Caier. # # Modu capital city, Moon ns Pce. # # He really appeared! Yue Ye gave a nk look at the letter in her hands. Immediately, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart, causing her body to shake slightly. # # Ever since rescinding her marriage with AhBao, she had been residing in the Moon ns Pce. Not taking the slightest step out, she concentrated fully on cultivating. # # Being an extremely intelligent girl, Yue Ye understood well what kind of character AhBao had. Maybe he would really rush to the act, and in case she was outside that time, he may do something that couldnt be taken back. Would there be any other choice but marriage then? But no matter how insistent AhBao is, he definitely wouldnt dare cause trouble inside the Moon ns Pce. For the Moon Demon God Agares holding the second of the seventy-two demon god pirs, his status was not just a number. The Moon ns powerhouses being extremely numerous, even the Demon God Emperor kept an extremely close rtionship with Agares. # # But the fact she remained in the Moon ns Pce didnt mean that Yue Ye waspletely oblivious to the outside world. Shes the one who single-handedly made the Yue Ye Merchant Group the greatest group of frence merchants between the demon side and Temple Alliance. After the start of the Holy War, their resources declined, but it didnt mean that they were emptied anymore. Their transactions of goods already turned into trades of strategic information. # # And, the Yue Ye Merchant Group obtained benefits from both sides. Under Yue Yes suitablemand, they only focused on offering for sale some unimportant strategic informations to the two sides, causing the merchant group to exist and be well between the human and demon side. As for their wealth, after so many years of umtion, it managed to sustain itself despite that event. The situation wont be like that forever, so when the Holy War ends, her Frence Merchant Group will still keep running. # # Yue Ye had special methods ofmunication. To be able to immediately get the most precise information, she invested a lot in that aspect. Through special sound transmitting crystals, she was able to receive and release sounds from the other side of the continent. So everything happening on the side of the Alliance would be known to her at most two or three dayster, making it also more convenient to immediately transmit orders. # # Now, the Yue Ye Merchant group had already be the greatest information traffickers between the demon side and the Temple Alliance. In her ability to gather news, despite looking like a mere princess of the Yue n, Yue Ye was worthy of being called number one of the continent. # # So Long Haochen could be said to have found a good person to look for information about Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. # # The token Yue Ye handed to Long Haochen at that time was extremely special. She long ago made the arrangements to be immediately informed no matter where it appears. And wasnt that exactly what happened? # # The token appeared in the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass of the Spiritual Temple with news of his request for news regarding Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. So he was really in the Temple Alliance and really appeared. # # Even Yue Ye herself didnt notice that Long Haochens appearance brought her such uncontainable excitement. # # Actually, she wasnt too familiar with Long Haochen, but understood withplete certainty his degree of genius. # # This idiot. The Holy War is already close to an end, but could it be that he cannot just stay hidden? Dont tell me he doesnt know about making preparations safely? Yue Yes hand lit in dark purple, melting away the falling letter. Chapter 595 - Inescapable Net (II)

Chapter 595: Inescapable Net (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Even Yue Ye herself didnt know what kind of feelings she had for Long Haochen. How could she not understand that there isnt the slightest chance of some feelings arising between the two of them? But how could Long Haochens figure be so unreasonably clear in her mind? She had already lost count of the number of times she attempted to forget about him, so many that she had prepared herself to ept the marriage with AhBao. But ever since that matter happened, her emotions made a total change. AhBao had led Demon Hunter Removers to attack Long Haochen and Caier from all sides, and for the sake of killing the two of them, AhBao made the final choice to abandon her, his own fiance. But in the extreme opposite, for the sake of saving Caier, Long Haochen almost paid the cost of his life. When she saw Long Haochen use his own body as a shield to deflect the demon attacks going for Caier, Yue Ye felt as if countless ice cones pierced through her heart. Two simrly outstanding males, one standing for darkness and one standing for light. One was her fiance, and the other one, her cooperative partner. How could the two of them be so different? Maybe this was the difference between light and darkness? Darkness could sacrifice anything for the sake of benefit. Their hearts will only be seeing benefit forever. Perhaps a light user could seem foolish inparison, to even be willing to sacrifice their own life to protect their beloved person. But for a girl, an emotional girl, the choice to be made could not be more obvious. Yue Ye was absolutely certain that if Long Haochen did not have Caier at his side, he would certainly have a fatal attraction toward her. If he coulde to like her, she would surely disregard everything else to be together with him. However, this was mere delusion. Knowing perfectly well that this is impossible, Yue Yes pain only became fiercer. _Why is that person by his side not me?_ This fool chose this time to appear, scouting out news about two other Demon Hunters. This meant that he was resolved to reappear in the battlefield against demons. _But the Demon God Emperor is already fixed on him!? Would His Majesty let go of him?_ Thinking about the Demon God Emperor, Yue Ye couldnt help but shiver. She was the most doted on daughter of the Moon Demon God Agares, and had a very good understanding of the powerful level reached by her fathers cultivation. With her fathers strength, thetter stood like a supreme being in her heart. But at the time Agares stands in front of the Demon God Emperor, his feelings of fear and respect even made Yue Ye iparably afraid. The Demon God Emperor was, after all, powerful beyond her imagination. And she was totally able to affirm that the difference between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor was asrge as the gap between an ant and a mammoth. In case the Demon God Emperor finds him, things would end like _Its no_ _good_ _, I have to find a way to tell him that he must not enter into demon territory!_ Princess, Lord Moon Demon God is calling you. At this time, a servants voice was heard. Yue Ye became stunned, remembering that earlier today, her father had said he had an important matter to discuss with her. Moon Demons Hall. The Moon Demon God Agares was quietly seated on his demon god throne, his purple hair dropping on his shoulder. If not for the unnaturally wise and farseeing look in his eyes, his handsome appearance could very easily make him be taken for a youngster. Father. Yue Yes voice was heard from outside the hall. Enter. The Moon Demon Gods look softened greatly. He actually felt quite helpless about this daughter of his. This treasured daughter was really the first demon to dare disobey the Demon God Emperor, plus, what she rejected was the most important marriage in all demonkind. The Demon God Emperor didnt pursue this matter, and even AhBao didnt either. From the looks of it, this matter was left unsettled. Of course, Agares wouldnt let this matter affect his attitude towards the Demon God Emperor, but this was still not a good thing. After all, AhBao would be the next Demon God Emperor, so being able to connect by marriage would surely stabilize the Moon n even further. Seening in, Yue Ye had a really mature look. Her perfectly proportioned build, and well-developed form, in addition to those exciting purple eyes, made even the extremely difficult to please the lover of beautiful things Agares praise his daughters beauty. Compared to the ordinary girls from the Moon n, Yue Yes mixed-blood had much less darkness aura, and more of the human beauty and charm. Father, you said you have a matter to discuss. If it is rted to Brother Bao, please dont insist. Yue Ye arrived at the middle of the Moon ns Hall, and immediately spoke these words. Over the past two years, the Moon Demon God tried many times to convince her. Agares helplessly said, What a girl! Cant you think for the sake of our n? Yue Ye shook her head, resolutely looking at her father, but remained silent. Agares sighed, Let it be, I wont keep trying to convince you, since things are like that. It was for another matter that I came looking for you. Hearing her father say that he wont insist on trying to reconcile AhBao and her, Yue Yes expression softened greatly, Please speak then. Agares look was back to normal, dering seriously, You should know about the reasons that led to this Holy War. And you should have met that person before. Eh? Yue Ye was shocked. She was thinking about Long Haochen just before, but didnt expect to hear her father ask about him right after getting news from him. Could her father already know of the rtionship between the two of them? For a moment, her face became a lot more pale. Agares softly continued, Dont be afraid, your royal father will be protecting you, and not let him harm you anymore. From his point of view, Yue Ye, who had originally gotten captured by Long Haochen, became full of fear just hearing him mentioned. Yue Ye kept her emotion under control with haste, What What about him? His Majesty started a Holy War because of this human. Although the intention to weaken humankind is also present, it is clearly visibly how massive the threat carried by this person is. You must tightly keep secret what I will tell you today, and absolutely cannot let it leak out. Understood? Yue Ye nodded, asking with curiosity, Father, I have never understood this: that Long Haochen seems remarkable, but isnt he just a human? How could he be any threat? Could it be that even at his level of cultivation, His Majesty could have some restrained fear for him? Agares exined, Thats because he threatens our races foundations. His own strength is not much, but he has a mount that can really threaten us. You dont need to know the details regarding that mount. I know that you established a great informationwork between the Temple Alliance and us, and I need your intelligence. Intelligence regarding that person? Shouldnt he already have gone missing? Yue Yes heartbeat elerated. Although she vaguely felt that this situation was merely a coincidence, she had after all just gotten news from Long Haochen! How could she not be nervous? Gone missing? He has just holed up in the humans Temple Alliance. Your third brother has undergone Great Prophecy Technique for him. Through it, he has predicted that this Long Haochen will reappear within the borders of our demon territory, and proceed toward the opposite direction from the human territory. But he couldnt predict the precise time, so now, we are in need of the most urate intelligence your Frence Merchant Group can provide. His Majesty has already arranged an inescapable, and will personally take care of him. This will also stabilize our demon races dozens of thousands of years rule. Hearing Agares words, Yue Ye couldnt help but let out a gasp. For a moment, tides of emotions surged out, almost beyond her control. _The Demon God Emperor wants to go as far as to personally dispose of Long Haochen, oh god!_ The Star Demon God Vassago even put to use the Great Prophecy Technique against him. Adding to that the coboration of her father, the greatest three demon gods were actually joining hands against him. What could he do against that? Wasnt this a route to certain death? For a moment, Yue Ye became speechless due to shock. Seeing her resulting expression, Agares wrinkled his eyebrows, Girl, have you been listening to your royal father seriously? Eh! I have. Yue Ye adjusted her feelings rapidly, murmuring, Father, I am just thinking, is he really so worthy? Hes actually causing His Highness to act personally. Agares snorted, You dont need to know too much about that. This pertains to our races most important secrets. You must know that for the sake of predicting this youngsters future path, and the fate of our race, your third uncle went all out in using the Great Prophecy Technique, which resulted in serious injuries. He is still recovering in seclusion, and things are pretty bad. At the least, he will lose eighty percent of his strength, and even when he recovers, he wont be able to make predictions so urately in the future anymore. So your intelligencework must be up and running immediately and without any slips, understood? After this matter is settled, your royal father will request recognition from His Highness for your merits. I believe that even your marriage with AhBao could be considered a matter of the past. Yeah, I will do my best to find this information for you. Yue Ye lowered her head so that the Moon Demon God wouldnt see her visibly somewhat fric expression. Agares concluded, You may go then. Give me news as soon as possible. Tomorrow, His Majesty and I will be setting out with all our garrisoned troops, proceeding for the Exorcist Mountain Pass toy out our inescapable. This time, that boy wont get away no matter what. Yes. Resisting the feelings surging out of her with great difficulty, Yue Ye cautiously left her fathers quarters. After getting out, she was unable to bear the urge to run back to her own residence. By now, she had no other kinds of thoughts but to transmit this piece of information to Long Haochen as soon as possible. Even she herself didnt understood why she had such an urge. Back at her residence, just as she was prepared to send news as fast as possible, a letter suddenly came. It came from the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. At the time she saw this news, she couldnt help but feel as if struck by a thunderbolt. The Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce supplied them with the news that Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were in captivity in the camps outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass. And Long Haochen had already departed after receiving that news. Chapter 596 - Haoyue’s Descent (I)

Chapter 596: Haoyues Descent (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Long Haochen didnt expect that as he was undergoing embarrassment, the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce brought some precise news, that Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were presently still alive. The demon god who captured them was transporting them to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and looked prepared to conclude a trade with the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The demon side understood very clearly the importance importance the Demon Hunters held for the Temple Alliance. And this wasnt the first time Demon Hunters were used for some transaction. At the present time, what they wanted in exchange was most likely Demon God Crowns. After all, it hadnt been long since two demon gods died on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If these Demon God Crowns couldnt be retrieved, these two demon gods wont reappear before at least ten years pass. This damage was considerable in the demons eyes. After getting these news, Long Haochen immediately set out for the Spiritual Temple, and after Chen Hongyu was informed, the eight immediately set out, heading at top speed towards the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The more time passed, the more Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would be in danger. And Heroic Assassin Sheng Yue indeed had a Demon God Crown in his hand. Returning this crown to the demon side wont be any good thing either. No matter what, trying to save Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi was something they had to do. The way from the Thousand Beasts Mountain Pass to the Exorcist Mountain Pass stretched almost across the half of the Temple Alliance. Inside the Temple Alliances territory, they didnt need to conceal themselves so Long Haochen rode Star King alongside Caier, while the other six all relied on their spiritual wings to achieve full-speed flight. After exiting the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, Chen Yinger obviously became much more silent. To Long Haochen, the only good news were the great improvements in Caiers moodiness. When the two of them looked at each other, the tenderness and love in her eyes leaked out unnoticed, although Caier secretly told Long Haochen that shed try even harder to retrieve her lost memories, to give Long Haochen a full her. This unambiguously hinted to say that before she recovers her memories, matters like that nights wont ur. Between the time they obtained news of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis disappearance to the time they set off from the Exorcist Mountain Pass passed three days already. Since that demon god was apanied, he should not be so fast to arrive to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, so the best situation for Long Haochens group would be to set out at full speed, and try the utmost to stop the enemy on the way to the Exorcist Mountain Pass demon camps. This way, the chances of retrieving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would be far greater. Of course, even if they managed to intercept them midway, they would still face a severe trial. Which is to say, could they really defeat that demon god in the top thirty-six? Since the assassin who managed to returned did not have the time to make explicit the identity of that demon god before dying, they didnt even know who the enemy could be. ording to Long Haochens guesses, although belonging to the top thirty-six, that demon gods ranking shouldnt be too high. The probability of him belonging to the top 24 were really low. But even so, the enemy they would have to face was surely a demon god with his own domain! At their current level of strength, their probability of victory was quite low. But fortunately, their goal wasnt to absolutely kill this demon god, but more importantly to rescue Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Doing their utmost to stay on the shortest path to destination, Long Haochen and hisrades took a total of seven days and seven nights to reach the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Not even attending to making a detour to the Exorcist Mountain Pass fortress to report to Sheng Yue, they directly headed to the peak in the mountain range to survey the demon camps from above Seven consecutive flight days, with under three hours of daily sleep exhausted greatly everyone. And this was with Star King here to help everyone by letting them take turns to rest on his back. The weather was biting cold, and series of clouds went through them. The moist water vapor carried an extreme cold, greatly waking their minds. With a wave of his hand, Long Haochen released a Holy Mantle, disconnecting them from the outside wind. Bathed inside the Holy Mantle, everyone could regain their physical force at a faster speed. Unfolding a map, everyone sat in circles. Long Haochen pointed at the map, This is our current location. On the north, is the Exorcist Mountain Pass. At the time the sky is clear, we can see the demon camps well from above. At our current rushing speed, we should be able to reach out before that travelling demon god. Although we dont know about his precise speed, he should need at least half a month as long as he came apanied. Chen Yinger said, Then should we prepare to intercept them? But the greatest issue is that we presently dont know from which direction he wille into the demon camp. But we must intercept them far enough from the demon camps, or we will be in great danger in case he gets help from the surrounding demon gods. Long Haochen replied, Yes. This is the greatest issue we are now facing. For this reason, we must do our utmost to find the location of that demon god. However, we still know the general situation. Be it us, or the demon god, we will all do our utmost to reach the destination in the most direct path possible. So we can roughly guess from where the demon god wille. But the farther we are from the camp, the more imprecise that guess will be. Caier, the inspection for the trails of that demon god will be left to you. Han Yu, your Demonic Eye will be matched with her. Go now, and immediately inform us in case you have news. Caier, keep firmly in your mind that we will be entering demon territory in a bit, resting and preparing fifty kilometers from the demon camps. Thats where we will wait for you. Okay, I am going now. Caier nodded, before leaving alongside the Demonic Eye Commander summoned by Han Yu. Everyone knew that the ones who were able to avoid detection by abilities of the magic probing kind were Long Haochen, Caier, Lin Xin and Chen Yinger. Among them, Long Haochen, Lin Xin,and Chen Yinger could mask their presence relying on psychic force, while Caier has her ability Invisibility. The others would need to use some magic equipment to hide their presence. Be it for her speed or ability to conceal herself, Caier was acknowledged as the best candidate. Adding to that the help of the Demonic Eye Commander able tounch mental probing inrge areas, they were evidently the most fitting scouts of the group. After Caier left, Long Haochen told everyone, Lets have a rest here. Do your utmost to recover your physical and mental force. I will be stopping by the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If that demon god has already rushed his way here, he surely has already proposed a deal to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Otherwise, he wouldnt have kept Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao alive. I will be confirming our basic information of whether they have already reached out or not there. Although the probability of that demon god having already reached the demon camp was very low, just to be sure, Long Haochen preferred to make a detour. After dividing the work, Long Haochen immediately rose up and rode Star King directly toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass. The others remained here to rest and prepare, putting effort into recovering from their previous tiredness. This was their first collective action since reuniting after two long years. Even Chen Yinger who felt extremely worried for Yang Wenzhaos safety was filled with a great excitement. As Long Haochens figure gradually disappeared from their line of sight as he headed towards the Exorcist Mountain Pass, they couldnt help but have themon thoughts, _We are so blessed to have Captain._ With him as the core of their group, they were able to operate with definite grasp: what they had to do was to listen to Long Haochens directives. After separating for two years, all of them grew fundamentally in strength, but that trust and mutual understanding did not change at all. Long Haochens departure felt like a long time in their heads. After one hour passed, as everyone had some feelings of anxiousness, Star Kings figure reappeared in their line of sight. Before Star Kingnded to the ground, Long Haochen had jumped off from his back,nding in front of the group. From his serious looks, everyone could feel that something had definitely happened. How are things? Boss, could Wenzhaos group... Asking this, Chen Yingers voice became shaky. What she feared the most was to hear news of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi having been murdered. Long Haochen shook his head, Yinger, dont worry. No ident happened to Wenzhao and Duan Yi. It is rted to us. What? Chen Yinger was startled, and the others became confused as well. How could it be that right after reaching the Exorcist Mountain Pass, something rted with them came up? Long Haochen took a deep breath, seemingly calming down his own feelings too. I have just met with heroic assassin Sheng Yue, and asked about the news we wanted to know. That demon god should not have arrived around the Exorcist Mountain Pass, or at least, they did not receive such news. Everyone remained silent, because they all knew that Long Haochens heavy atmosphere was certainly not rted to that. Given his calm personality, there had to be arge ident that happened for him to show such uneasy feelings. Seeing their nervous looks, Long Haochens expression loosened greatly, Speaking of which, I dont know whether this matter rting to us is a good thing. Seen from the outside, it should be a good thing, but I am worried that the Exorcist Mountain Pass will face a destructive cmity because of us. When I met with heroic assassin senior Sheng Yue, he said he was just looking for me, because he had received a secret letter addressed to me. The sender also told heroic assassin senior Sheng Yue that I will surely reach the Exorcist Mountain Pass in the nearest days, and that this letter must be handed to me, as it is a matter of life or death. Hearing that, Sima Xian couldnt resist the urge to ask, Boss, what was written in that letter? Long Haochen replied, The contents of the letter were very simple, that I should take a trip to the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. And because of this trip, I took a bit more time than expected. But the information I gained was really important news pertaining to the matter of our lives or deaths. Everyones expressions immediately became more serious. Based on what Long Haochen said, this information had to be really important for them. Chapter 597 - Long Haochen’s choice

Chapter 597: Long Haochens choice

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen exined, The information came from Yue Ye. While we were still in the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass, she came to learn about my position from the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce. A short timeter, she was suddenly called in by the Moon Demon God Agares, who wanted her to use her Yue Ye Chamber of Commerces informationworks to look for our position. He also told her that for the sake of killing me, the Star Demon God Vassago had been performing a fate-defying prophecy reading before the start of the Holy War. That prophecy said that we would be proceeding for the Exorcist Mountain Pass around that time, but did not inform them of the precise time. Now, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, and Moon Demon God Agares already have all the demon forces in Modu Capital City aside from the heavily wounded Star Demon God Vassago heading toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass, to set an inescapable to kill me. The members of Bright Glimmer of Hope almost simultaneously let out gasps. They werent afraid, but shocked, thoroughly shocked. From the start of the Holy War to now had already passed two full years. But from beginning to end, the Demon God Emperor and his Defying Devil Dragons, the Moon Demon God, the Star Demon God and their various ns had yet to participate in the Holy War. But at this very moment, Long Haochen was suddenly telling them that the Demon God Emperor had already personally set out, and brought along all Modu Capital Citys elites. The demon gods in Modu Capital City were at least ten, and under the lead of the Demon God Emperor, plus those Defying Devil Dragon n and Moon ns powerhouses, this terrifying force alone would be sufficient to instantly wipe out all the Exorcist Mountain Pass forces. Let alone the important troops already arranged in the frontlines, the arrival of the Demon God Emperor alone was sufficient to crush the Exorcist Mountain Pass defenses. Though, these forces werent directed against the Exorcist Mountain Pass but specially arranged against them. One may well imagine the high value of Long Haochen in the Demon God Emperors eyes. Lifting his head and looking afar, Long Haochens eyes were filled with special feelings. Only he had seen Yue Yes letter, and although these were only characters, Long Haochen felt the deep feelings of concern and hastiness she had when writing the letter. In the end, this letter came to his hand timely. If he hadnt had a trip in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, perhaps he would really fall inside the demons inescapable. What should we do Boss? Lin Xin asked. Long Haochen took a deep breath, Dont panic everyone. I have been giving it a lot of thoughts on the way here. The formidable strength of the Demon God Emperor is not anything we can resist, and the same goes for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. But its not as if we are at aplete disadvantage. Since things havee to this, even if we immediately request reinforcements from the Alliance, they surely wont make it at time. The Demon God Emperor and Moon Demon God have already departed at least six days ago, leading so many demon gods as well as the powerhouses from the Defying Devil Dragon n. Modu Capital City may be very far from here, but given their cultivations, it should at most take two or three days for them to arrive here. Yue Yes piece of news is extremely important to us. She told us that the best method would be to immediately get away, far from here. From the current stage of the Holy War, there is surely a reason behind the Demon God Emperors continuous passivity. He seems to have some restrained fears, or is unwilling to wipe out humanity. If he is added up in the battlefield, the Alliance surely has some ways against him. Only, the Exorcist Mountain Pass will very possibly be the target of the Demon God Emperors rage for having not managed to catch me. Though, it is also possible that the Demon God Emperor would just leave. But what about Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi? Chen Yinger immediately became worried. If they were to immediately withdraw as Long Haochen had said, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would most likely have no more chances to be saved. If the Demon God Emperor arrives outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, even the hope for a transaction with the Exorcist Mountain Pass would most likely disappear. Long Haochen replied, Yinger, dont worry, listen to me until the end. The Star Demon God Vassago is really powerful, to have actually managed to predict our arrival here through the Great Prophecy Technique. Furthermore, based on the information from Yue Ye, Vassago even told the Demon God Emperor that unless they get rid of us, we will surely be the Demon God Emperors greatest nemesis, and possibly even overturn the demon rule. Since the Demon God Emperor views us so importantly, why would we fail to live up his expectations? But for the same reasons, my following analysis will be cing our safety as top priority. Chen Yinger retorted, Boss, could it be that we dont have any way out other than evacuating immediately? You said that we will have at most two or three days left? That demon god may not necessarily even appear before then. Whats to be done then? About Wenzhao Wang Yuanyuan took Chen Yinger in her arms and said, You are bing blinded with concern. If Captain does not have a solution, he wouldnt have told us so much, but immediately given the order for evacuating. And you know, Yang Wenzhao is important to you, but Captains safety rtes to the whole Alliance! So Yinger, you must calm down for now. After calming down, Chen Yinger ardently looked at Long Haochen. Her big eyes faintly dripping with tears, she took a deep breath, then said, Boss, you dont have to feel awkward. If it really wont do, lets lets just go away When speaking those words, Chen Yinger felt totally empty of strength, her whole body leaning on Wang Yuanyuan and head lowered. They were a team, a Demon Hunt Squad. Chen Yinger having been warned by Wang Yuanyuan, she calmed down a bit despite feeling extremely unwilling deep inside. And she came to deeply understand what the act of going to save Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi would mean to them. The Demon God Emperor was about to arrive before three days pass. And given his terrible strength, they wont have the slightest chance to escape his mental probing upon entering his scope of action. But rescuing Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi needed time! Would they really have that time? Long Haochen dered seriously, Yinger, be at ease, I will definitely not give up. Now we will have to analyse the feasibility of saving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Reaching this point, Long Haochen unfolded the map once again, Here is where we are. Caier is already looking for trails from that demon god. Apanied by the Demonic Eye Commander, I believe that she will have some news to report in at most one day. In front of the Demon God Emperor, we dont stand the slightest chance, but it doesnt mean that we dont have the slightest advantage. Our advantage stems from the help Yue Ye is giving us. And everyone, we have no need to exaggerate the matter. The Demon God Emperor wants to kill me, but for that, he will have to find us first, so we absolutely have to avoid contact with him. Although I am unwilling to borrow the force of the Tower of Eternity, there is no choice but to admit that in the present situation, as long as the Tower of Eternity exists, theres a low probability that we would get caught by the Demon God Emperor. Hearing Long Haochen mention the Tower of Eternity, everyones eyes lit up. Thats right, they still had the Tower of Eternity. Even if the Demon God Emperor was even more powerful, he couldnt possibly split space to look for the Tower of Eternity. In this different realm, even a god would not find anything. Long Haochen expressed, Yue Yes information really came extremely promptly. She did her best to earn us enough time, and now to save Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, our only possibility is to avoid crossing the road of the Demon God Emperor. This instant, the extreme seriousness in Long Haochens face disappeared. Although this was just a battle of wits for the time being, who else in the Temple Alliance would dare do that? For the sake of prudence, lets act within the next two days. In other words, we have two days to save Wenzhao, then immediately get away. The Demon God Emperor wont possibly be able to find us that way. At this point, he turned his gaze toward Chen Yinger, firmly speaking the next words, But Yinger, no matter what we do, we have to consider the worse oue. If this time, Caier didnt find the trails of those demon gods, we wont have any other choice, understood? Unable to control her tears further, which flowed through her cheeks, Chen Yinger burst into tears against Long Haochens waist, Thank you, thank you Boss, thank you As the Spiritual Saint Girl, one chosen by the mythological beasts, her intelligence and wisdom was not below her otherrades. She obviously knew that Long Haochensst decision was alsoden with a great factor of danger: they were fighting for time against the Demon God Emperor! Would any ordinary person dare do that? Another Demon Hunt Squad captain would have chosen to turn round after receiving this news long ago. After all, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were strangers for their Demon Hunt Squad! Long Haochen lightly patted Chen Yingers back, smiling to her, Dont forget that I am a knight too. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi are rare talents from our Knight Temple: saving them is originally my unshrinkable responsability. Han Yu reacted, Captain, if we seed in saving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, what will be our future course of actions? Long Haochen replied with no hesitation, Prate deeply into demon territory. Eh? Everyone was greatly shocked from hearing this. The Demon God Emperor was going all out to find their trails, yet he had no hesitation to dere his intention to prate deeply into demon territory. Long Haochen nodded, Since the Demon God Emperor is bringing a lot of demon gods to the front lines, the demon territory will surely be extremely emptied. In these border areas, we are absolutely unable to disy our full power. For the sake of avoiding that the Demon God Emperor takes out his anger on every defensive fort, I cannot even let Haoyue go destroy demon god pirs here. But in demon territory, we wont have these worries anymore. The Demon God Emperor wont know where we are gone either. He cannot find us there, as he will either remain here or keep looking for us. This time we should set out in demon territory as fast as possible, and maybe we will reap a lot. Therefore, no matter whether we seed in rescuing Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, our next move will be to head for the demon territory. By remaining in this border area, we will only inconvenience every defensive fort. Han Yu retorted, But how about hiding ourselves inside the Alliance? Long Haochen sighed in response, It would be great if we could simply do that. But since the Demon God Emperor dared call this an inescapable, there must be quite a few spies dispatched in the border area, like we have Yue Ye from the demon camp helping us. Since the Demon God Emperor is the demons sovereign, all the demons intelligence must be in his grasp. Dont tell me you think we will surely be out of his reach in the Alliance? So we can only prate deeply into demon territory, to make him lose all the intelligence he could get on us. On the contrary, if we withdraw to the Alliance, we will very possibly be targeted by therge amount of demon gods he brought alongside, forcing their way into the Alliance to chase after us. At that time, the people will be in terrible situations. By getting into demon territory, we may find a path for survival in the midst of death. We must not only prate deeply in the demon territory, but also let the Demon God Emperor know about it. That way, we will pull away the demons, and wont let the Alliance suffer too much terrible damage. Furthermore, as long as we have the Tower of Eternity, we can activate its transporting ability at anytime. At worst, we will just remain shut inside the Tower of Eternity for a long period of time. There is also another reason why I have juste backte. Thats because I requested senior heroic assassin Sheng Yue to supply us withrge amounts of food, which was all stored through the Eternal Melody. It will be enough tost us even if we have to live inside the Tower of Eternity for a year and a half. Hearing his exnation, everyone had feelings of rxation. Long Haochens n seemed extremely dangerous, but with the Tower of Eternity as a backup move, they only had to avoid running into the Demon God Emperor directly to be almost free from any real danger. Zhang Fangfang reacted, Haochen, there are two issues I can now think of. First, what if the Demon God Emperor immediately attacks the Exorcist Mountain Pass right after we depart? The other issue is the truthfulness of the information Yue Ye transmitted. The Demon God Emperors attack on the Exorcist Mountain Pass is not something we can stop. But if in addition, Yue Yes information is false, we will be forced into great danger. Maybe we will really fall in the trap of the Demon God Emperor that way. Long Haochen was slightly startled, immediately feeling a chill. Right! His ns were based on theplete uracy of Yue Yes intelligence. If there was an issue with Yue Yes intelligence, their ns would all be wasted and they may very possibly be led by the nose by the Demon God Emperor. Right at this time, the nearby Lin Xin giggled, Captain Zhang, you are thinking too much. Ever since they were faced in desperate straits due to Tian Qings mistake in demon territory, Lin Xin found it hard to stand when others would meddle withLong Haochens decisions. The same applied even if Zhang Fangfang was Wang Yuanyuans lover. Zhang Fangfang responded, This is just my personal thought. Of course, I dont understand well the degree of your cooperation with Yue Ye. Its just that I believe that if an issue arises in this area, we will be in great danger. Chapter 598 - Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (I)

Chapter 598: Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # In front of Zhang Fangfangs interrogation, Lin Xin showed a tranquil smile, These two issues should be no problem. On the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, there is nothing we can even do apart from informing senior Sheng Yue, but I believe Boss already did that. And the Demon God Emperor is aiming for us, and just as Boss said, if we let him know we are deep in demon territory, he will surely chase after us, and the Exorcist Mountain Pass wont be in such danger anymore. I estimate that the odds of the Exorcist Mountain Pass being attacked by the Demon God Emperor will be below a third. As for the second issue, I believe that it is even more irrelevant. First, our coboration with Yue Ye is not a matter of only one or two times. When we were besieged by AhBaos group, she took the initiative to signal us to take her as hostage, giving us a chance for escape. Given how her fianc AhBao went as far as to want to sacrifice her to take Boss and vice-captain down; how could she not hate AhBao? Their engagement was even rescinded. So I believe that the probability of an issue arising in Yue Yes information is very low. Plus, have you thought about, that, if Yue Yes information was false, why would she tell us about the matter of the Star Demon God using Great Prophecy Technique? Zhang Fangfang replied, This is hard to say. After all, she should have been informed that we requested the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce help to find information about Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Lin Xin expressed, Okay, then lets say her information was false, but then, how could the Demon God Emperor predict that after getting this information, we would choose to go deep in demon territory instead of fleeing inside the Alliance? Thinking rationally, the Demon God Emperor should not possibly be able to predict we would choose such an escape route. So I am almost certain that Yue Yes information is real. After listening to Lin Xins analysis, Zhang Fangfang nodded slightly, What you are saying makes sense. It may just be groundless fears from me. Long Haochen showed a smile, As this concerns the whole teams survival, lets be a bit more careful. Demon gods wanting to conceal their movements wont find that easy, especially now that all demon gods carry their demon god pirs alongside them at all times. When the timees, I will be able to discern such a thing from very far at a nce. If no demon gods came, it will really mean that there was an issue in Yue Yes information. But if there are arge amount of demon gods, this will really confirm that Yue Yes information was true. He still held Zhang Fangfang in a very proper esteem: he was the most experienced and knowledgeable in the group, who does not speak a lot in normal times, but generally goes efficiently to the main point. Still, Long Haochen aside, even Wang Yuanyuan disapproved greatly of Zhang Fangfangs opinion. They had already suffered the experience of suffering a loss due to others bad criticism, so after Lin Xins rebuking, they naturally wouldnt go help Zhang Fangfang on his standpoint. After Long Haochen expressed the intention of surveying the demon gods activities from very afar, Zhang Fangfang didnt insist. This was already a very cautious measure. We are departing! Long Haochen nced at the far demon camp, as he gave that order. For insurance, they changed into cloaks belonging to moon nsmen, used the magic eyes, and stopped flying, travelling on the ground. Under Long Haochens lead, the group quietly set through the border of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Long Haochens mental force spread outwards, enveloping them inside as they rapidly approached the rendezvous point at fifty kilometers from the demon camp. They arrived at their destination half an hourter, stopping on a hill with wind at their back. For the sake of maintaining his mental forces cover, Long Haochen sat cross-legged, with the others sitting in circle around him, calmly waiting for Caiers news. Shutting his eyes, Long Haochen very rapidly entered a state of focus. Aside from maintaining the cover of his mental force, his mental force was pressed into merging with an extraordinary forceing out from his body. That was the Soul Linking Chains. After two years of secluded training, he felt a far greater understanding on many of his abilities, including the Soul Sharing Chains. These pieces of epic tier equipment linked the seven of them together by the sevens life forces. And, with sufficient mental force put in use, Long Haochen and the others could get a grasp of each others position. However, because they had all cut the Soul Sharing Chains before, he was not able to attempt that until now. It surely had to wait for them all to reunite before being possible. At the very moment, grasping Caiers location was what he wanted to do, as well as urately telling her about their position. Of course, this did not only go one way. Unless Caiers mental force was sufficient, they would be unable to achieve such control of the Soul Sharing Chains. A short timeter, Long Haochen got a grasp of Caiers current location. She was moving at an extremely fast speed, to the extent that Long Haochen was unable to grasp her position urately. His connection through the Soul Sharing Chains then rapidly got through to her, so that she could feel their location, and then the connection cut. After all, keeping the connection for toorge a time would consume too much of Long Haochens mental force. Yinger, dont be anxious. Caier is looking for traces of that demon god with all she has. Through the Soul Linking Chains, I could, as expected, grasp her exact location. Lets do this: we will immediately keep pace with Caier, this way as soon as she discovers the enemies traces, we will be able to make our move in the shortest time. Chen Yingers emotions werepletely seen through by Long Haochen. Her fiancs life or death was about to be determined in these two days. How could she not be anxious? To them, time was like life. The earlier they could save Yang Wenzhao, the earlier they would be able to set out for the depths of demon territory. Chen Yinger bit her lips, Boss, please dont let things be awkward because of me. We cannot put our team in danger because of Wenzhao, and I believe he would also be absolutely unwilling to see such a situation. If it wont do, lets just withdraw. Long Haochen nodded, I will act ording to the situation. Everyone, how is your physical force recovering? Everyone expressed that they had no problem: after recovering for over a hour, they were nearly back to their ordinary performances. Even if they still felt some tiredness of mind, this would surely not affect their battle performances. Go. After his attempt of making use of the Soul Binding Chains, Long Haochen promptly altered their strategy, leading the others toward Caiers scouting direction. He only needed to check for Caiers location at regr intervals to smoothly go after her. Because Caier had set out over a hour prior to them, and went in full speed flight for that search, she was close to a hundred kilometers far from them. While she constantly altered her speed as she scouted, Long Haochens group had only to confirm her approximate direction to follow her tracks. As things followed, the group went after her for a whole seven hours. They had not only to keep up with Caiers speed, but also preserve their strength to the greatest extent, stopping for some time each hour for that sake. Such a lengthy flight led them at least 350 kms away from the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Caiers strengths were prominent at such time. While continuously searching, her speed was still out of reach for the rest, and instead, the distance between them only kept growing further. Spreading out all four wings, Long Haochen, who was flying at the head of the group, suddenly stopped. The others stopped sessively beside him, giving puzzled looks toward him. Long Haochen had a serious tone, Caier has stopped. She seems to have found something. The most excited to hear him was Chen Yinger, to whom it was as if the tiredness of the whole trip had disappeared, immediately retorting, Should wee along to discover about that too? Long Haochen pointed downwards, and strictly ordered, We are going to have some rest here. Yinger, you absolutely have to keep calm, and cannot rush to act. Otherwise, we wont only be unable to manage the rescue, but will furthermore achieve the opposite results. Have a time of rest and preparation everyone. Long Haochen was rarely that strict when speaking to hisrades, and that was actually due to Chen Yingers state of mind. If she didnt sober up, a mistake in her actions could very likely affect the whole situation. Yeah. Chen Yinger gave a small reply, and didnt speak further. Everyonended on the ground, and found a concealed ce to hide, immediately sitting cross-legged to start meditating to recover their physical force. Long Haochen stimted his mental force once again through the Soul Linking Chains Connection, so that Caier could pass on her urate position. Caier had stopped in a spot for a long time, roughly a quarter of an hour, before setting out on the move once again. Her speed shot up rapidly, rushing at full speed toward the spot of Long Haochens group. At the current time, Caier was at roughly 150 km from them. Even at full speed, she needed close to a hour to rush back. Long Haochen cut the mental connection, focusing his internal energy to absorb the external light essence to supplement his previous consumption of spiritual energy. He was almost certain that Caier surely made some discovery. As the core of the team, he had to restore his state to the peak. He didnt convey his determination to the others as they needed to focus on calmly recovering their spiritual energy. As expected, Caier was nearing them by flight before an hour passed. Nimbly arriving in front of the group, she awoke the whole cultivating group. At this time, Caier looked quite pale. Over eight hours spent scouting and searching came with a massive consumption from her. Long Haochen floated up and ced a Super Spiritual Recovery Pill in her mouth, pressing his right hand against her back to pour his pure light elemental spiritual energy into her. Caiers spiritual energy was of a very special type, full of explosive might. This could be called the ughter attribute, fully inherited from the God of Death. Her spiritual energy didnt reject other spiritual energy, which meant that any elemental essence could be turned into strength upon absorption by her. Having gotten Long Haochens help, Caiers aura gradually became peaceful. To Chen Yinger who was anxiously gazing at her, she nodded, I found a demon god leading a group of Ox Demons. And I caught sight of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi sent away under escort. The Ox Demons on guard were about ten thousand. Chapter 599 - Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (II)

Chapter 599: Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Did you recognize that demon god? Long Haochen stopped Chen Yinger as she nearly shook with emotions, with a motion to signal her to calm down. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue, finally calming down without continuing to examine her. Hearing Long Haochens question, Caiers look became immediately much more stern, That was the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus. The previously extremely excited Chen Yinger immediately let out a gasp upon hearing Caier, bing much paler. The others didnt look good either: they had just run into great trouble. As excellent figures of the younger generations, they naturally had a very good understanding of the seventy-two demon gods. The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus ranked thirty-second amongst the seventy-two demon gods. The demon gods ranking being based on their global strength after all, despite this demon gods rank at thirty-second, his fighting strength was surely at the top among the ones following the top twenty-four. Asmodeus wasnt a possessor of many special abilities such as the Demon God of Deep Vision, but his fighting strength in frontal battles made him greatly renowned among demonkind. Asmodeus had grown three headsof the ox, human, and ram typehad a snake tail, and had his Hell Dragon as a mount, and was equipped with a pike adorned with a human skull. With the ox head specializing in attacking, the ram head in defending and the human head in intelligence, his abilities achieved great bnce, causing an uncountable number of human powerhouses to fall under his hand. It was really no wonder that Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis two Demon Hunt Squads were annihted upon encountering the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus. Long Haochen pulled Caiers cold feeling hand, Very good. With precise information, we will be able to make good preparations too. Immediately have a rest. Yeah. Caier nodded and became silent, making haste to sit down and immediately took a meditative posture. Long Haochen hinted at everyone to sit down, and sat beside Caier, The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus is a powerful demon god. Im afraid that killing him will be very hard for us with our current strength. Be it in offensive or defensive abilities, that demon god is extremely tough, and his mount is approaching the tenth ranks standards. Plus, we cannot yet reveal our identities for now, so Haoyue wont be able to join the battle to help us. For now, we can only attempt to draw up some tactics. Saying that, Long Haochen picked up a branch on the side, drawing up some exnatory drawings as he spoke, as everyone nodded repeatedly. Everyone, remember. Our goal is to save people and not to fight zealously. After saving Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, you will immediately gather. With the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus present, escaping wont be an easy task. If we cannot do otherwise, we will have to rely on the Tower of Eternitys teleportation ability. My teleportation ability can cover roughly fifteen meters diameter, so stay gathered while keeping close to me, understood? Everyone nodded consecutively, but only Chen Yinger became hesitant, But Boss, in that case, you... Long Haochen showed a smile, How about it? Are you distrusting me? Chen Yinger shook her head with force, clenching her fists. Not saying anything more, she was filled with thankfulness. She deeply noted the investment made by Long Haochen and the others for her sake. A demon force of ten thousand was rushing in the wilderness, formed fully of Ox Demon heavy infantry. The Ox Demon n was a strong n, but unfortunately, they didnt have any demon god inheritance. Therefore, despite being rich and powerful, their race was far fromparing with the likes of Demonic Bears or Hell Demons. But of course, they were still far greater than the likes of the Dual ded Demons or Wolf Demons. The main force of the Ox Demon Army was fighting on the battlefields of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass and Spiritual Temple. These ten thousand Ox Demon heavy infantry forces were transferred by the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus in support for the Exorcist Mountain Pass side. Two demon gods died suddenly in battle on the Exorcist Mountain Pass front, and the Emo Demon God Sytry sustained injuries. Adding to that the continuous skirmishes and ambushes, their original decisive advantage suddenly turned around. The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus therefore received the order from the Demon God Emperor to reinforce the Exorcist Mountain Pass camp. Although the battle on the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass was fierce, the Spiritual Temples summoned beasts were too hard to handle, and no progress would be made for a certain time. As the Ox Demon didnt have a demon god inheritor, they were very close to the ox-headed Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus. After meeting him, they immediately formed a reinforcing group for him to transfer the soldiers. The Ox Demon God was entirely constituted of lofty individuals. Although not matching the Demonic Bears in this regard, they were also over two meters tall, their upper bodies covered with bronze colored thick muscled flesh, their backs especially wide. Their swelling flesh could really cause one to tremble. The pair of horns on their heads would, in case of collision, even be able to pierce through a fifth of a meter thick steel te. The most ordinary Ox Demon Warriors were powerhouses of the fourth step, but this ns cultivation was able to attain up to the eighth step. The weapons used by Ox Demons were, like therge majority of the demons, extremely varied, but most of them would prefer the axe or hammer types of weapons. The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus was easy to identify within this group of Ox Demons. Although robust, they paled in insignificance inparison to this Dragon Rider Demon God. Asmodeus upper part was also bare, wearing only deep blue shorts. Dark skinned, his stature reached an impressive height. As for his three heads existing simultaneously, the middle one was the human head, and on the left and right were the ox and ram heads. His dark flesh let out a metallic gloss, and his majestic body stood like a hill in the midst of the towering army. The Hell Dragon he was riding reached a size of fifteen meters, quite resembling Bone Dragons, except that its bones werent as thick, but its whole body was dispersing dark mes. Inside its eyes, a deep purple hellfire me was pulsing. The surrounding Ox Demons kept themselves at a distance of at least twenty meters, out of fear of getting roasted by its hellfire. The Ox Demons were always running forward, and this had gone on for ten days already. The greatest trait of these Ox Demons remains their great endurance, being close to the strongest on this aspectpared to all demons of the same grade. They are good at long distance raids, and alsorge weight transportation. Not far behind Asmodeus was a prisoner chariot pulled by eight Ox Demons. That chariot was a huge cage with four wheels below, and two people with locked hands inside. If it was not because Asmodeus believed that they could still be of useful value, they would have been killed long ago. However, these two humans were severely wounded, and not far from death. If it were not because Asmodeus gave his subordinate the absolute order to keep them alive, they wouldnt have been kept for so long in that state, relying on the little food and water kept in reserve for them. Riding his Hell Dragon, Asmodeus lifted his heads upwards. His three heads had three different thinking circuits, and only shared amon body. The ox head said quite impatiently, It is really too slow! If I knew about that I wouldnt have brought these young oxes. The ram head let out a snort, Werent you the one who insisted on bringing these young oxes for your honor? If we went by ourselves we would have arrived long ago. And we not only brought so many Ox Demons, but also these two burdens. The human head in the middle spoke coldly, You two calm down. Still need me to keep exining it to you? These two humans are Demon Hunters, and captains of their Demon Hunt Squads. To reach such levels of cultivations at such young age, they cannot be nameless figures among humans. If we can exchange their lives to retrieve a Demon God Crown, it will be a great merit for us. Listening to the human head, the ox head and ram head immediately behaved. The human head wrinkled its brows, At most we will take three more days before reaching our destination. After reaching that point, the previously resolute looking human head suddenly turned around to a certain direction,ing to a sudden stop there. Right as the group was passing through a hillside, in a series of roars, arge amount of magical beasts were rushing from the top of the hillside, heading toward the army of Ox Demons. Ox Demons being of a naturally fighting expert race, they didnt need at all to wait for Asmodeus order to already respond in a ready formation. The magical beasts going up the hillsides were really numerous, and although some in the lot were weaker, the overwhelming majority reached at least the fourth rank, with some especially strong ones at the eighth or ninth step. In the midst of these magical beasts stood a huge Demonic Eye of one meter diameter, whose four long tentacles were waving around. Psychic undtions kept being released from that huge Demonic Eye, and these magical beasts seemed as if under itsmand, advancing ordingly as they grantly shed with the demon army. _BangC_ An intense wave of distorted ripples descended in the midst of the heavy Ox Demon cavalry. Under the influence of these twisting ripples, therge expanses of Ox Demons went stiff and immediately sank into disorder upon contact. The over one hundred magical beasts immediatelyunched frantic attacks relying on their basic instincts. The Demonic Eye Commander was still keeping watch from the central rear,unching magic of psychic attribute to stimte the magical beast on its side while harassing the demon army with psychic shockwaves. Immediately, despite being in an overwhelming numerical inferiority, their side killed their way and put the Ox Demons in a pitiful state. However, these ten thousand Ox Demons were still an undoubtable standing army. After a short time of confusion, they very rapidly settled down their advance, and formed a correct formation to confront these magical beasts. One magical beast after another were gradually killed, while damage was also continuously sustained by the Ox Demon side. A thick reeking of blood gradually arose in the air. Chapter 600 - Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (III)

Chapter 600: Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus didnt pay attention to the battlefield, but looked toward the peak of the hillside. These magical beasts came just too suddenly. How could there be so many of them living in such a ce? Plus, so many different races were moving altogether. There could be only one exnation for that: human summoners. At the current moment, the magical beasts rushing down the hillside were already over five hundred, inflicting not-insignificant-damage to the Ox Demon army. Asmodeus determined, therefore, a total amount of summoners atop the hillside. He didnt rush to intervene, as these mere summoned beasts were not enough to break through the ranks of the Ox Demon army. _Bzz._ A sharp sound was emitted as colorless twisting waves broke out once again. This time, the only eye of that Demonic Eye Commanderpletely turned a blood-red color. As a wielder of psychic magic, that Demonic Eyes attack erupted. These twisting waves passed through the most crowded areas of Ox Demons. Those victims from them almost instantly turned sluggish, but this time they didnt recover so fast as with the previous psychic shockwaves, but let out puffing sounds as they spit out blood. The Ox Demons in the way of these twisting waves died having their seven apertures bursting out with blood. This instant, at least three hundred of the Ox Demons perished instantly, also earning some time for the magical demons being encircled by the Ox Demons. Among them, some powerful ones immediately took the chance and rushed through the gaps in the demon armys formations. From the start of the battle to now, only a dozen or so minutes had passed, but the Ox Demons had lost close to a tenth of their forces. Still, the five hundred or so magical beasts also suffered simr quantities of losses. After inflicting his powerful blow, the Demonic Eye Commander was visibly quite weakened, and its four lengthy tentacles removed themselves from the ground, rushing back to the hilltop. Want to leave? The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus snorted as he pointed therge pike in his right hand toward the Demonic Eye Commanders direction. Next, a ck glow shot out from the skull g on the top of the pike producing a ck skull of a meter diameter flying toward the Demonic Eye Commander. The other magical beasts were fighting on the battlefield undaunted by dangers, but this Demonic Eye whomanded their side at the beginning and escaped with that timing was visibly not an ordinary summoned beast. From Asmodeus view, this should be the contracted beast of a powerful summoner. Even he found this kind of psychic magical beast troublesome, and naturally wouldnt let it leave alive. It appeared as that the ck skull was following the Demonic Eye Commander, a golden glint suddenly shot out from the top of the hillside, pulling that Demonic Eye. In a swish, the Demonic Eye abruptly elerated, leaving the ck skull behind. The next instant, a figure radiating in orange color came into the ck skulls path. The orange radiance suddenly shed, and in a swish, the ck skull dissipated in the sky and a knight fully d in gold appeared. That knight was riding a majestic Starlight Unicorn spreading out its wings and liberating a pure and holy gloss of light. It was his shield that stopped the previous ck skull. A knight along with a summoner? Asmodeus human head started to reveal a cold smile, and the Hell Dragon he was riding released its bony ck-med wings. The ox, human, and ram heads dispersed the same ck mes as the Hell Dragon, and pointed the pike this time toward the distant Golden Foundation Knight. In some ways, Asmodeus was like a demon knight. When encountering a human knight, his fighting intent couldnt help but ignite brazenly. The Berserker Demon God Ahnan and he shared a simrity among demon gods, and thats the special value they attached to individual heroism. pping on the Hell Dragons back with his right hand, the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus soared and raised his more than five meters long pike while still standing on the Hell Dragons back, fervently staring fixedly at the opposite Long Haochen. Dense ck mes burst forth simultaneously from the Hell Dragon and him, seemingly burning the surroundings. The Earth Dragon let out a whinny sound, already rushing toward the knight riding a Starlight Unicorn. Without a doubt, this Golden Foundation Knight was naturally the captain of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, Long Haochen. The previous tide of beasts was obviously summoned by Chen Yinger alone, who relied on the eighteen Creature Summoning Gates to call out over five hundred magical beasts, manifesting her terrifyingness as a high levelled summoner. In fact, over ten of her magical beasts were at the ninth rank, matching human powerhouses of the eighth step. The Ox Demon army would need to expend quite arge cost to get rid of them, so they performed very effective stalling. Afterpleting her summoning through the Creature Summoning Gate, Chen Yinger was still recovering. The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus pointed his pike forward, causing crispy sounds to be heard as mighty ck mes were shot from the peak of the pike, changed into a dragon head in the air, then aimed straight at Long Haochen. This blow was far more powerful than the previous attack on the Demonic Eye Commander. At the same time heunched the attack, the sky behind Asmodeus back turned pitch ck. Right at that time, a golden light surged out from Long Haochens back, and immediately, a milky white pir of light shot from behind him, aiming at Asmodeus. ck and white crossed each other in the sky. When the pike in Asmodeus hand rose, that ck ming dragon immediately deviated, biting at that white light. But to the surprise of the Dragon Rider Demon God, the white pir of light directly drilled through the dragon head, as if not affected in the slightest, thennded onto his body. A special feeling immediately filled Asmodeus whole body: that instant the knight in front of him became suddenly like his lifetime enemy, and Asmodeus sole wish became killing him. No mistake, that white glow was not any attack, but the release of Yatings evolved ability through the Saint Spiritual Stove. The Saint Spiritual Stove is able to attract the enemies attention, turning oneself into the number one target for his offensive attacks, but cannot affect the enemys offensive power. At the same time the Saint Spiritual Stoves effects affected Asmodeus, his ck dragon also arrived in front of Long Haochen. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was used to block it, alongside Divine Obstruction. _BangC_ Long Haochen deliberately met this attack head on, because he wanted to know the extent reached by Asmodeus true strength. The instant that ck dragon met with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Long Haochen couldnt help but let out a gasp. Asmodeus strike was filled with violent darkness spiritual energy. A sticky essence of darkness rammed against the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Like a worm, it started to extend and try passing the two sides of the shield to reach his body. Not only that, but the terrifying impact force directly bombarded Long Haochen, even repelling Star King several dozen meters away, before he could stabilize. Divine Obstruction is a knights most practical and most important technique. By using it appropriately, one can resist a several folds stronger enemy. And with a sufficiently powerful shield, the might of Divine Obstruction can grow even further. Certainly, one might not necessarily find a better shield than the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in the whole Alliance. Adding to that, Long Haochens personal understanding of Divine Obstruction was close to perfection. But even so, he didnt manage to fully dispel the might of the enemys strike. A violent impact force shook the Divine Snail Shield, as Long Haochen felt the internal spiritual energy in his body running amok. But by chance, the shield in his hand, transformed from a Starlight Divine Beast, had by its own nature a great suppressing power toward darkness spiritual energy. Holy Lights baptism managed to stop the ck ming dragons corrosion from spreading. But with this probing sh alone, Long Haochen determined that the enemy was far above himself in strength. When the two sides dont differ much in strength, the Saint Spiritual Stove can effectively suppress the enemy, but when the gap is so wide, it bes just a charming effect. After pushing Long Haochen back in a blow, the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus elerated in a sh, going after Long Haochens retreating figure, approaching rapidly. The gged pike in his hands was swept up, aimed straight at Long Haochen on Star Kings back. This knock carried an imposing ck electricity. Looking from afar, Long Haochen only appeared like a small ball of light, while the Dragon Rider Demon God was like an overwhelming ck cloud making Haochen look insignificant. But this time, Long Haochen made a decision that Asmodeus did not expect. The orange glow disappeared: he unexpectedly recovered the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon serving as his greatest defense. Instead, in his two hands he wielded the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Confronting Asmodeus sweep, the heavy sword in his handunched a downward strike. _Looking for death!_ Asmodeus let out a snort, and his ox head let out a roar as his pike gained in might. Even with a mountain in his way, he would sweep through it head on. Chapter 601 - Multicolored Divine Sword (I)

Chapter 601: Multicolored Divine Sword (I)

Trantor: GravityTales At a distance, the others from Bright Glimmer of Hope couldnt bear the urge of rushing out, but were stopped by Caier, Believe in him, he can do it. _Dang_ With a crisp colliding sound, an inconceivable scene followed. In front of Asmodeus full body sweep, Long Haochen actually let go of the Divine Snail Shield, and met it by wielding the Aria of the Goddess of Light alone. More shockingly, the instant the heavy sword and the gged pike met, Asmodeus gged pike was unexpectedly pushed away by Long Haochen. It was possibly a scene inconceivable in everyones imaginations that had urred. After Asmodeus gged spear was pushed away by the Aria of the Goddess of Light, it changed its trajectory, and was swept towards the top of Long Haochens head. But right at this time, Long Haochen moved away instantly. What he used was one of the most basic junior abilities used by Retribution Knights, Dashing Thrust. In a gout of bright light, an orange colored de projection came out. Asmodeus shot out his left fist as well, to meet with Long Haochens strike. The ram head let out a loud shout with a delicate undertone at the same time. Against all expectations, Asmodeus swayed from the back of the Hell Dragon he was still sitting on. If someone else was close enough, he would find out that a wound had just appeared on his left hand. Long Haochens thrust which was followed by a stab could only be described as a splendid move. And after this attack, he didnt stop with that, instantly releasing the four spiritual wings on his back. He seemed to have already stoppedpletely to conceal his abilities, as hended from Star Kings back Asmodeus, dare to have a match of martial arts with me? Asmodeus didnt expect this opponent visibly far weaker than himself to actually be able to wound him. Long Haochens previous attacks major point was that stab. It aimed at the most unpractical spot for Asmodeus to exert strength, his weakest spot. It wasnt a sh of power but a mere borrowing of force, altering the trajectory of Asmodeus attack and creating a gap in his defense. To achieve that against an opponent with such a difference of cultivation, Long Haochens dexterity could already be said to have attained the peak. However, the gap in strength separating him from Asmodeus was after all just too wide. After the first sword thrust, the second blow was unable to exert sword intent, otherwise that attack would surely have wounded Asmodeus far more. To dare challenge the great me, youre looking for death. Asmodeous shouted loudly, spurring on his mount by kicking it, chasing after Long Haochen like a bolt of lightning. In the meantime, while his flight urred a majestic scene came to view. The massive Hell Dragon he was riding just before simply dissolved and instantly covered his whole body, bursting out in ck mes. Everything else surrounding his body other than darkness essence was driven out. The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeous was furious, but would definitely not look down on the enemy. The fact that Long Haochen could wound him already roused his vignce. He was naturally able to tell that the Aria of the Goddess of Light in Long Haochens hands was not an ordinary weapon. To meet a heavy sword of epic tier with his body was not any wise choice. This Hell Dragon Transformed Armor was quite simr to Haoyue and Long Haochens fusion, except that they reached totally different grades. More frighteningly, in his gged pikes attack, countless ck skulls wereing out from the g, covering an evenrger area. From the looks of it, Long Haochen seemed one instant away from being engulfed. Sending out light radiance, Long Haochen did not keep retreating from that chase. Still holding the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his two hands, his surroundings filled instantly with golden streaks of light, giving off the feeling that he was not merely a single person anymore, but purely a sword. The fierce sword intent broke out instantly, as Long Haochens eyes burst out with dazzling golden light. His body swayed gently, looking like fleeing inside the glowing pike. _Dang, dang, dang_ Repeated series of shing sounds were heard clearly, as the golden light seemed swallowed by the massive ck radiance. The sh looked extremely frantic, but the ck radiance was unable to approach him further. The Aria of the Goddess of Light was used on a smale scale. Its sharp end kept shifting direction, and every strike from it utilized the method of borrowing the enemys force, instead of meeting the Dragon Rider Demon God with force. The gged pike in Asmodeus hand was continuously pushed away, while these ck skulls were unexpectedly cleansed by the golden mes released from Long Haochens body. Asmodeus eyes were filled with shock. He did not expect at all that this ant-like opponent would show such great technique. Even with his strength, facing Long Haochen made him feel somewhat unable to muster his force. Every one of Long Haochens sword strikes aimed at his weakest spot, and as a matter of course, the constantly deflected gged spear was unable to muster the slightest of its offensive power. A one or two times urrence could be called coincidence, but when not a single of his attacks in wide area managed tond on Long Haochen, how could this be called coincidence? It was as if Long Haochen had another eye, able to spot instantly any of his weak points. Actually, even Long Haochensrades werent aware that Long Haochens greatest spot of expertise was absolutely not offense but defense. Although he practiced both Retribution and Guardian paths as knight, never forget the choice he made at the time his father had asked him. Over these two years, Long Haochen did not really train in Retribution Knight abilities, but chose to focus entirely in the Guardian Knight specialization. Although he was confronting the enemy with a sword right now, in practice he was purely defending. That year, while still in Odin Town, when Long Haochen was trained by his father, his first lesson had him deal with extremely terrifying Owl-Ants. During every day spent confronting countless numbers of them in their cave only able to rely on the bamboo sword in his hand, being unable to block the assaults of the Owl-Ants would subject him to an iparable pain. Long Haochen was already starting to train his defensive techniques since then. Before Long Xingyu departed, his dexterity already made some attainments. Without the use of spiritual energy, even Long Xingyu was unable to breach through Long Haochens defense. Could this defensive technique be categorized as a Retribution Knight or a Guardian Knights skills? In Long Haochens heart, that was concluded to be a Guardian Knights skills. These many years, through the constant increase of his strength, martial arts, and deepenedprehension, plus the long training in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen had gained great martial attainments. Even at his current cultivation level, winning now against the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus was not an impossible feat. In case they contested only in martial skills, Asmodeus would not have an easy time prevailing. With their previous lesson, Asmodeus did not dare put everything in offense. Long Haochens attack gave him the feeling that in case he revealed a gap, his sword and body joining as one would immediately make use of it. Of course, Asmodeus had a lot of ways to contain Long Haochens martial skills, but as a demon god specialized in lone fighting strength, how could he not be thrilled by meeting with an opponent such as Long Haochen? For a moment, he was even unwilling to use his more powerful abilities to annihte him faster, to make it a contest of mere martial arts. The ck and golden color in the sky made fiery shes, with no one able to deal damage to the opponent. Long Haochen used all he had to constrain Asmodeus, and that was the most important part of their n. As long as he could contain the Dragon Rider Demon God, hisrades would smoothly fulfill the rest of the n. Of course, it was not as if Long Haochen was going all out either. He had other trump cards: Asmodeus was ranked as the thirty-second demon god, so in case he were to use a really powerful ability, Long Haochen naturally had to keep some strength to respond. At the very moment, since he was disying his four wings, he didnt have the intention to hide his identity. The Demon God Emperor was approaching the Exorcist Mountain Pass on the basis of Vassagos prediction. He even nned to borrow Asmodeus mouth tomunicate his movements to the Demon God Emperor at the time he arrives, to relieve the Exorcist Mountain Pass from danger. That was a part of their n. While Long Haochen and the Dragon Rider Demon God where fighting ardently, the magical beast army was also reaching itsst moments. Only thirty of the over five hundred magical beasts were left, but all were reaching at least the seventh rank. Due to their onught, the Ox Demons ranks suffered terrible damage. However, be it in attack or defense, Ox Demons were valiant opponents. Like elephants facing the bites of many ants, they showed no fear in front of the deadly attacks, and lessened unceasingly these magical beasts numbers. Right at this time, a change suddenly urred. From the rear of these magical beasts suddenly appeared a group led by a man wielding a bloody-red heavy sword. With a roar, he rushed out brazenly, as the heavy sword in his hand shed out,cerating several Ox Demons with theunch of his massive golden rays, rushing into the ranks of the demons like a sharp dagger. Not only that, but two even more valiant figures broke out from the sidelines, glowing in silver light on the left side and golden light on the right side. Everywhere the silver radiance sprinkled, everything, be it the weapons in the Ox Demons hands or their bodies, was instantly reduced to pieces. In the meantime, a massive silvery glow of light producing ear-piercing wuu sounds flew out, ready to sweep past the Ox Demons. Four more burst out after the first one. Chapter 602 - Multicolored Divine Sword (II)

Chapter 602: Multicolored Divine Sword (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The other sides scene was even more mystifying. That golden light came from the bursts of power from a massive golden metallic ball. Everywhere it passed, thunderous explosions were heard. The Ox Demons were not given the slightest opportunity to approach, and immediately torn to shreds. Beside these three was a mage standing proudly at the back. Waving the staff in his hand, heunched at once twelve Bursting Fireballs scattering all around, aiming for the most crowded areas in the ranks of the Ox Demons. Those blue fireballs were like blue specters. Even the small specks of impurity in their way were instantly cleansed, and their explosion caused instant degrations. At the rear of the mage was another knight, wielding a heavy shield in his left hand and a heavy sword in his right hand. Their appearance was just too sudden, and their burst of power far too tyrannical, especially that mage whose attacks covered an immense scope. All the Bursting Fireballs produced over a dozen casualties for the Ox Demons. The bursts opened long paths through them, and the Ox Demon army sank into chaos. Without a doubt, the five of them who were opening a path were Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian on the sidelines, Lin Xin in the center and Zhang Fangfang in the rear. At the same time the five of them made that disy of power, a resonant dragon cry abruptly rang out. Immediately, a gigantic ck dragon rose, flying toward the army of demons. In the sky, this ck dragon extending over more than ten meters corroded over a hundred Ox Demons in every breaths. On its back was standing a girl, glinting in dense twisting waves. By watching carefully, one would take notice that these twisting waves transformed into ripples entering the ck dragons body from below. A Devil Dragon! If Han Yus assault was still not enough to throw the Ox Demon army into disorder, but only created some confusion, this time the appearance of this Devil Dragon alongside them immediately broke their center ofmand. For a moment, the Ox Demon army did not even know whether they should respond or escape. In these circumstances, the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope entered among their ranks, aiming for the caged carriage. Obviously, the Ox Demon army was not devoid of intelligence. Some especiallyrge Ox Demon powerhouses were guarding the cage. One of them immediately shouted in rage, and grabbed the iron bars, climbed onto the cage. Seeing that the enemies were aiming at the two prisoners, and furthermore were considerably powerful humans, they already made their preparations to execute the prisonners before they would be taken back. Dense grey radiance shed, travelling through the left shoulder to the right side of the Ox Demons waist. In a strike, the corpse was cut in two and immediately fell from the cage. A sweet figure appeared on top of the cage. d in a long ck skirt, and carrying a ck sickle. A dense killing intent was flourishingly dispersed. With a sweep of the massive sickle, the Ox Demons guarding the cage were thoroughly killed in a split second. This Ox Demons overall were pretty strong, but werent formed with any particrly outstanding powerhouses. Outside of the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeous, the strongest Ox Demons were only at the sixth or seventh step at most. Could such Ox Demons even give any troubles to Caier? In Long Haochens n, attracting Asmodeus came first, and then hisrades wouldunch an assault. After all, by relying on Caier alone, although approaching the cage was no issue, carrying the two men away in the midst of this army of ten thousand men would be difficult. After Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were caught for so many days, their bodies states could be well imagined: they would hardly be even able to stand. Their top priority being naturally to ensure the safety of the two, Caiers mission was to ensure that Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao wouldnt suffer any harm before the others arrived. Taking advantage of the Ox Demons in the surroundings having yet to reach out, the Sickle of the God Of Death was waved, cutting the cages like tofu and turning them into fragments without injuring Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi in the slightest. The two of them were caught in a state of unconsciousness since long ago. Having lost the support of the cage, they fell limply on the carriage. Caier rushed forward, cing medicine that Lin Xin had priorly handed over to her. After putting them in a supine position, the pills naturally liquefied in their bodies. The Devil Dragons appearance caused a massive shock to the Ox Demon army, to the extent that not many Ox Demons took notice of Caiers attack when she came to rescue Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Without a doubt, that Devil Dragon was McDulls transformation. Although Chen Yinger had just used the full power of Creature Summoning Gate with her Time Folding Spiritual Stove, that was with the backing of her Spiritual Saint Robe, so she still retained fighting strength. McDulls transformation was now not only limited to appearance like before: under the backing of the Spiritual Saint Robes spiritual energy, he not only didnt need to devour magical crystals, but could even disy the strength of a magical beast of the ninth step for a limited time. Piercing through the skies, he rapidly joined Caiers location. Grabbing one of them in each hand, Caier soared, and ced Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi on McDulls back, then the Defying Devil Dragon swiftly pped its wings, letting out other breaths after turning round, helping Han Yus group to sweep clean the enemies ranks. Han Yus group of five now seized the opportunity to gather thanks to their spiritual wings. Ox Demons were not a race with the ability of flight. Adding to that the shock caused by the Defying Devil Dragon, the course of their actions went very smoothly, rapidly gathering together in the skies. This activity naturally caught Asmodeus attention. From the burst of power of the five of them, to Caiers act of rescue and the flight of the Devil Dragon, only about one minute had passed. Asmodeus was originally fighting to his hearts content and felt even a bit unwilling to pour out more of his spiritual energy. That was because he wasnt in the slightest hurry to kill Long Haochen. He was aware of the benefit he gained in this pure sh of martial technique against Long Haochen. Long Haochens technique was close to the state of perfection and had brought him considerable enlightment. But the appearance of that Devil Dragons aura gave him the realization of something fishy. _Lured away from their objectives, I have been fooled!_ Asmodeus immediately determined the correct oue. He couldnt continue to be entangled with Long Haochen anymore, and with a roar of rage, the gged pike suddenly caused the air to stagnate and immediately burst out with ck mes, turning into huge pirs of fire exceeding five meters in diameter and bombarding Long Haochen. Due to the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove, he had to kill Long Haochen first to be able to handle the other matter. The terrifying ck mes gave off a feeling of stickiness. That instant, Long Haochen felt like he had entered a world of darkness, totally devoid of light. That choking feeling was close to the pain felt at the time of the Demon God of Death Saminagas suppression. This was a strike visibly prepared a long time prior by Asmodeus, especially prepared to counter Long Haochens technique. _Your martial arts are brilliant, but what can it do in front of the suppression of absolute spiritual energy?_ That was the method of using overwhelming power. Afterunching this attack, Asmodeus almost immediately walked away in haste, flying back toward his army. The Defying Devil Dragons appearance shocked him terribly. That was the race of the Demon God Emperor! Could there be a Devil Dragon that had betrayed His Majesty Demon God Emperor? He had to make this clear. But as he believed that Long Haochen was heavily wounded by his long prepared blow, and unable to maintain the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove, Long Haochens clear voice came out from behind. Where are you nning to go? Your opponent is me! Mh? The Saint Spiritual Stoves ability of Attraction didnt disappear, and Asmodeus felt huge surges of killing intent. Almost immediately turning back again, he found out with shock that the two massive ck mes were still travelling afar, but Long Haochen was still standing on the same spot, only the sword in his hand had changed. With its seal undone, the Aria of the Goddess of Light was originally glowing in the orange light of the epic tier, but at that very moment, it had astonishingly turned into a multicolored golden light. Divine tools would not necessarily glow in seven colors, but something glowing in seven colors was sure to be a divine tool. The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was already a sure proof of this. Long Haochen was still wielding that heavy sword in his two hands, staring ardently at Asmodeus. From the state of his ck mes, he determined that this opponents attack had split it from within, with no real damage caused to Long Haochen. That multicolored golden light immediately drew the Dragon Rider Demon Gods line of sight. As wed expect no less from a demon god expert in fighting, this instant Asmodeus put aside all the other matters and started to focus single-handedly on Long Haochen. In his previous sh against Long Haochen, Asmodeus was in great admiration toward his extremely fierce and profound sword intent and sword technique. Now that the weapon in Long Haochens hand turned suddenly into a divine tool, Asmodeus had no other choice but to view him seriously. A human knight able to show sword technique and sword intent so close to perfection could veritably threaten Asmodeus. Asmodeus didnt regret not going all out against Long Haochen before, as this battle gave him considerable enlightenment. He was fully certain that through the course of this battle, his martial arts undoubtedly made a good advance. Demons were just like humans in that the closer the battle, the more they will arouse theirtent capabilities. Looking at the divine sword in Long Haochens hand, Asmodeus eyes were lit up. Very well. You are indeed qualified to be my opponent. If I kill you today, I will bury you personally as a token of respect. Asmodeus coldly dered this as he inclined the gged spear in his hand. The one speaking was the human head. Chapter 603 - Multicolored Divine Sword (III)

Chapter 603: Multicolored Divine Sword (III)

Trantor: GravityTales To demons, such words were a token of recognition toward the enemy. Humans were viewed as food for demons, especially the human powerhouses corpses, which demons would never let go of. Asmodeus statement was giving a great honor to Long Haochen. Long Haochen didnt utter a word, looking fully at the Aria of the Goddess of Light at that very moment. Howe he did not wield his two divine swords simultaneously previously, as a Retribution Knight? He was originally expert at wielding dual swords, so when wielding two of them, he would surely disy an even greater sword ability. The reason why he didnt do so, was to enable that reserve move umted in the Aria of the Goddess of Light. The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus was far more powerful than him, so Long Haochen understood clearly that defeating the opponent waspletely impossible, and the same went for stopping him. But he had his own ways. Years ago, when very young, Long Xingyu personally exined the characteristics of all demon gods, their fighting style. Long Xingyus evaluation of Asmodeus was very close to that of Ahnan. He assessed the Berserk Demon God to be a frantic fighter, and in Ahnans heart, nothing exceeds his own strength in importance. Even the Demon God Emperors orders would not necessarily be a target of his obedience. His evaluation of Asmodeus was simr to that of Ahnan. Asmodeus was also obsessed with raising his strength, but his difference with Ahnan was that while having this obsession, he showed absolute loyalty toward the Demon God Emperor. And hes more rational than Ahnan, but maybe for this very reason, his individual strength was unable topare with Ahnan. In other words, Asmodeus was obsessed with raising his strength but had a sense of priority, which Ahnan did not have. While taking advantage of that aspect of Asmodeus personality, Long Haochen did not use his power boosts, but relied solely on his martial prowesses to resist. In fact, this was putting a considerable strain on him. Facing an opponent far above him in cultivation, how could it be easy to rely entirely on his technique against Mt.Tai? But without a doubt, Long Haochen had seeded. His sword technique and sword intent deeply attracted Asmodeus attention. As Asmodeus was not going all out either butparing notes solely on the technical aspect, this made an optimal opportunity for the others to rescue Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. At the time Asmodeus unleashed that powerful strike, Long Haochen was actually long since prepared: everything was within his calctions. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi being rescued, Asmodeus would naturally not leave the matter at that. Under the effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove, he had to make himself targeted by the enemy. So thanks to his state of preparedness, although it was difficult, Long Haochen still managed to respond. While fighting Long Haochen, Asmodeus had been continuously overlooking a matter. That was Yatings disappearance after releasing the abilities of the Saint Spiritual Stove. After appearing, Yating had continuously remained attached on Long Haochens back, not participating directly in the battle. She did not evenunch a single magic out of fear of attracting Asmodeus attention, and more importantly, due to waiting for Long Haochens order for when to fuse with the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This was the reserve n Long Haochen retained. Through incessant soaking in the fallen meteor, both the Aria of the Goddes of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light were internally greatly reinforced. Moreover, because of being nurtured by Yating through the Saint Spiritual Stove, theirpatibility with Yating was as high as it could be. Originally, Yatings first fusion with Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light directly caused it to be damaged, but this would obviously not happen now. The Aria of the Goddess of Light was the most fitting for Long Haochens sword intent, and Yating was only able to fuse with one divine sword, so he kept only utilizing the Aria of the Goddess of Light. That way, at the time Asmodeusunched an all out attack, Yating could fuse instantly with the divine sword, really raising it to be a divine tool. Full of sword power, the Aria of the Goddess of Light was as if it was resurrecting the times of the Holy Divine Sword Wield Ye Wushang. Long Haochens previous Asura Strike was seen as a fatal blow from Asmodeus eyes. Seeing Long Haochen give no reply to his words, Asmodeus look became instead much more heavy, gripping in his two hands the pike he used to be gripping in one hand. The six eyes on the three heads dispersed deep ck color. The pike in his hand was slowly pointed forward, as its sharp point took in and sent outrge quantities of ck htions. It was not formed of mes anymore, but the gged spear became fully as ck as ink. Its sharp point was aimed at Long Haochen, and terrible fighting intentbined with an iparably sharp killing intent were twisting in the space between the two of them. Long Haochen still gazed at the divine sword in his hand, indifferently speaking, Asmodeus, remember to tell the Demon God that I will be waiting for him in demon territory. Either the demon race or me will die out. I am the Long Haochen you have always been looking to find. Huh? Originally greatly focused, Asmodeus was immediately in great shock after hearing this. The next instant, a deepyer of purplish gold was abruptly released from Long Haochens body. This purplish gold was instantly poured inside the Aria of the Goddess of Light, then Long Haochens sword was waved, moving unhindered against him. This sword strike lit the whole sky with a purplish golden streak, rendering it deep ck. This was Long Haochens true full-powered strike, concentrating his whole strength in his sword. During his attack, he felt as if he became one with his sword. At the same time all the sword spirit on the Aria of the Goddess of Light unleashed its might in that purplish golden streak of light. It let out a sort of sigh, which expressed a great feeling of release. Right, this instant the divine sword of the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang was finally back. This sword finally had that grateful bearing it used to have in those years. With no sound whatsoever of collision, the instant the man and the demon crossed, Star King reappeared in midair, sustaining Long Haochens weight while flying away to the distance. To ones astonishment, the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus didnt chase, but stood afloat with a dull look, preserving the same position of thrusting motion. But to ones shock, as the ck color of his five meter long gged pike rapidly faded off, one could clearly see a trail of blood extending from the peak of his pike to his hand. Moreover, arge scar had appeared in the midst of the armor transformed from that Hell Dragon. Long Haochens sword strike was blocked by Asmodeus, but he wasnt able to block the sword intent umted inside, a sword intent of real might! It went so far as to concentrate all his spirits forces, reaching a level even he himself couldnt possibly resist no matter what. At this very moment, Asmodeus was deeply shocked by that sword strike, and understood clearly that if Long Haochens cultivation was on par with his own, that previous sword strike would already have taken his life. Asmodeus became aware for the first time that their martial skills were actually so differing. That weak opponent relied solely on his sword intent to wound him. He, who had always believed that he would not even necessarily lose a duel against a demon god in the top twelve. But now he was really certain that theres really a gap between more powerful opponents and him. Recovering the gged pike, Asmodeus three heads moved slightly. The ox head and ram head unconsciously gave simr looks to the human head in the middle. The human head took a deep breath, muttering aloud, Long Haochen. Boss, should we chase? If we activate the demon god pir, that youngster is no opponent for us. The Ox Head asked in severity. The human head shook head, We wont chase. Have you forgotten about His Majestys orders? That if we meet a human knight called Long Haochen, or a human knight riding a magical beast with multiple heads, we cannot act excessively. Let him go. His Majesty surely has his ways to dispose of him. The ram head had its eyes shut, Boss, I think that we should go into seclusion for some time. After we reach the Exorcist Mountain Pass, lets temporarily not participate in the battle. The human head nodded, I think so too. I have a path in view. Lets hope to find another chance to cross hands with this human in the future. As he said that, Asmodeus recovered his pike, and his armor dissolved rapidly, returning to the shape of the Hell Dragon. However this Hell Dragon had a long wound now. Asmodeus did not know that the instant Long Haochen was riding Star King, a mouthful of blood sprayed out on his Golden Foundation Armors mask. His battle against Asmodeus looked like a simple showdown, but in practice it needed him to spend massive mental and physical efforts. The enemys pressure was really too terrible: for instance, just remaining in such a constant state of vignce, to be prepared in case Asmodeus borrowed power from his demon god pir or entered Demon Godification Mode. In that case, he would have no other choice but to immediately go after the others andunch the Tower of Eternitys transporting ability. Fortunately, though he didnt know it, Asmodeus was still calmly contemting on his sword instead of chasing. The Star Kings full flight speed soon passed over the demon army, after meeting with his team which went further away. Riding on his Hell Dragons back, Asmodeus looked at the distant Long Haochen. His eyes all had meditative looks. That sword rays instant was deeply engraved in his memories, and a surge ofprehension had arisen gradually in his mind. Long Haochen didnt know that right because of his fight against Asmodeus, this Dragon Rider Demon God would a short timeter rise dramatically in strength, entering the top twenty-four of the demon gods.

Chapter 604: The Demon God Emperors Mental Scouting (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Suppressing the energy and blood bubbling forth from him, Long Haochen did not dare rx his senses right now. After making sure that Asmodeus did not chase after him, he finally rxed for real. At this time, Star Kings utility was distinct. Golden halos rushed out from him to Long Haochens body, causing the rise of a great warmth. While supplementing spiritual energy for Long Haochen, warming healing abilities treated his wounds. But even so, Long Haochens wounds would not heal in only a little while. For the sake of hindering Asmodeus, he faced all of the enemys attacks with his own, giving up on defending. Although his opponents offense was neutralized thanks to his attacking force, the extent reached by the enemys strength made it so that every sh put a terrible strain on Long Haochen. The Golden Foundation Armor neutralized some of it, but such a long battle involved over a hundred thousand shes. Although his body was tough, his blood vessels sustained considerable wounds. Never forget that no matter what could be said, Long Haochen remained only at the eighth step, facing a powerful enemy at the ninth step, the second rank of the ninth step. Even with aparable dexterity, someone else in the same situation would already have been torn down by an opponent with such powerful spiritual energy. Because of his rtion with Haoyue, Long Haochens external spiritual energy was far above ordinary people, which is how he managed to hold on, and even wound the opponent and greatly intimidate Asmodeus. After flying for over fifty kilometers, the group graduallynded, and Long Haochen immediately crawled on Star Kings back, gasping heavily. In a sh, Caier had joined Long Haochens side, lending an arm to support him from Star Kings back. Han Yu showed no hesitation to join Long Haochens side and unleash the abiltiy of the Spiritual Stove of Light Blessing. Although Blessings of Light did not have healing effects, it could at least help Long Haochen rapidly recover some spiritual energy. Lin Xin took out a pill and helped take off Long Haochens mask to insert the pill in his mouth. Even Chen Yinger had moved close to him, instead of caring about Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao. Everyone surrounded Long Haochen all around. Seeing Long Haochens pale face, Chen Yinger was dripping with tears, Boss... Long Haochen forced a smile, Fool, what are you crying for? Dont you see that I am fine? And how are Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi? Han Yu said, I have already been applying some healing magic on him. Thanks to Lin Xins pills, there is no danger to their lives. However, their wounds are very severe. They will need to be nursed for a certain time before recovering. By chance there is no badly damaged wound. Long Haochen dered, They are finally saved. Now that we are within the borders of demon territory, we can run against demon troops at anytime. We cannot stay in this ce for too long. After I regain some strength, lets first get back to the Tower of Eternity. Yes! Everyone epted. Caier lent her arm to help Long Haochen sit down. She didnt utter a word, but the pain in her eyes greatly moved Long Haochen emotionally. Touching her small hand suppressed the pain in Long Haochens body, as he shut his eyes with a smiling face, letting his internal spiritual energy restore his damaged body channels. With the effects of the Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings on, his spiritual energy recuperated very fast. Even the spiritual energy stored in his Golden Foundation Armor steadfastly recovered. The others sat in a circle very consciously, and Chen Yinger went to take care of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. While Zhang Fangfang kept watch, the others all guarded Long Haochens side. Half an hourter, Long Haochens face finally recuperated some vigor. Slowly opening his eyes and letting out a spit of blood, he regained his spirits and immediately activated a teleportation with hisrades alongside. On the following day, Long Haochen was in a state of recovery: his wounds were even more severe than the others imagined. For the sake of avoiding affecting hisrades rescue mission, Long Haochen cut the connection of the Soul Sharing Chains during his fight against the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus. He had to bear all the damage alone: not only his blood vessels were damaged, but even his inner organs. The others also underwent rest and recovery. Under the groups great care, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis situations improved greatly. Han Yu put healing magic in full use several times, which stabilized his body with the help of the medicinal pills. Huh. Yang Wenzhao slowly opened his eyes, feeling extremely heavy, and unable to exert the slightest amount of strength. Only the ounce of warmthing out from his chest made him feel alive. Ever since his team was annihted by Asmodeus and he received heavy wounds, his life had been hanging on a thread. Having lost all awareness of time, although awake, he still felt very dizzy. You are awake. Chen Yingers voice was filled with pleasant surprise. Yang Wenzhaos pupils finally focused, seeing Chen Yinger blurrily. Seeing her in a white skirt, he couldnt help but feel startled, muttering some words without speaking them out. Chen Yinger retrieved some fresh water, cautiously supporting his upper body with one hand, while her other hand poured some water between his lips. As the fresh water was poured, Yang Wenzhao showed great shock, Yinger, Yinger... His voice was extremely hoarse, far different from its previous dignified tone. Its me. Big Bro Wenzhao, are you better? These demon scoundrels actually persecuted you like that. At this point, Chen Yingers eyes couldnt help but turn red. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis wounds were very grave: Yang Wenzhao had over a dozen fractures and even some of his hands and foots muscles were broken. Several wounds on his body connected with each other. If not for the originally very good state of his body, even if the demons didnt n on letting them die like that, he would have long ago joined the side of the Goddess of Light. Yinger am I already dead? Its really great that I can see you at the time of my death Ive heard that you were in secluded cultivation all this time If not for that Holy War I was thinking since long ago About visiting you Unfortunately I wont have a chance I have never Come to understand Why your attitude totally changed One day If I have done Something wrong Please stop ming Okay? That way, I can Peacefully go I am finally at ease, I just Really hate to part with you... Yang Wenzhao seemed to take hisst chance to let out all his piled thoughts to her. Atst, he finally used up all the force he had regained with great difficulty, and became unconscious once again. Im not ming you anymore, dont pass out! In anxiousness, Chen Yinger couldnt help but fall into tears. Hey, hey, dont cry. Its not as if hes gonna die. Sitting nearby, Lin Xin mocked her. Chen Yinger gave him a very fierce long look, Whats with you? Has-drugs-bro, are you provoking me? Lin Xin fell inughter, Just how many times have we examined him? As long as hes given the time hell surely recover. Youre just losing your mind in concern. Im even doubting that his previous words were just aiming at winning your sympathy. Bullshit, hes wounded like that, and yet would act on purpose? Do you even have a heart? Chen Yinger broke out in anger. Okay, okay. Youve won, stop disturbing everyone with your noise. That was not on purpose okay? A girl in love is such a fearful thing. Lin Xin immediately raised his hands in surrender,ughing happily. Chen Yinger snorted, Just wait, Ill file all myints when we meet sister Li Xin. Reminded that Yang Wenzhao was out of harm, her tears naturally flowed down, but she still held his upper body. Thinking back of several memories from the past, her eyes couldnt help but fill up in warmth. Right at this time, Long Haochen who was in the midst of cultivation opened his eyes, immediately catching the attention of Caier standing at his side, who looked at him, and asked in concern, How are you? Long Haochen smiled in response, Dont worry, Im fundamentally alright. The wounds took some of my energy, but it wille back after recovering a bit. With his constitution as Scion of Light, no light magic was as effective as the self-healing of the pure light essence in his body. With a day and a night of work, all his channels were back to normal. His body was recovering very rapidly as well. Caier sat nearby Long Haochen, nestling against him and holding his hand, softly asking, Haochen, do you know when I fell in love with you after losing my memories? Long Haochen shook his head, while rubbing her head with the other hand. Caier asked in a soft voice, That was right as the Holy War had just started, when we were on the verge of separating. On those days you were preparing meals for me, heating soup, and protecting me. I wont ever forget the look you had when taking care of me. After losing my memories, I was very indecisive, but during those days, it was thanks to you that my heart stabilized. If one day, demons dont threaten the Alliance, I want to live with you in a natural environment, an area rich in vegetation, with some small wooden houses, where you could prepare meals as I take care of our children. That would be so great. Long Haochens heart was pulled by Caiers words. Taking his hand out of her grip, he held her waist and revealed longing eyes, That day will surelye. If everyone is willing, we could choose a ce to live and build a small vige there. I wont need you to do anything, just letting me look at you at all times will do. We will raise various vegetables, live in wooden houses, raise some domestic animals. I will prepare soup and make meals for the children. In the evenings, I will bring the children to the rooftop to look at the stars. Without the darkness brought by demonkind, the sky at those times will be very very blue. Nestling against Long Haochens waist, Caier shut her eyes. This time her face of absolute beauty was filled with bliss. That day will surelye. Caier repeated Long Haochens words, affirming her feelings. Chapter 605 - The Mental Scouting of the Demon God Emperor (II)

Chapter 605: The Mental Scouting of the Demon God Emperor (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Although their voice was not loud, the surroundingrades could all hear. Gathering their eyes on Long Haochen and Caier, all sorts of feelings welled up in their hearts. Even the strongheaded Wang Yuanyuans eyes couldnt help but redden. Will this day surelye to be? Demonkind is that strong. As members of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, could they finally bring such a beautiful ending? Perhaps they would die in the next battle against demons. For a moment, they felt as if choking, but their hearts were in agreement in their feelings of longing. For the sake of bringing this bliss to the most humans possible, they had to fight against demonkind: this great resolution became firm inside them. Patting Caiers back, Long Haochen supported himself into a straight sitting position thanks to her help. Getting up, he was thinking of just holding Caier to soak in that bliss! But he couldnt do that: he just had far too many things to do. He told the group next, Its about time. I am going to scout the demons movements. The moment I can confirm that the Demon God Emperors group has arrived in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, we will immediately head out into demon territory, letting the Demon God Emperor know our rough whereabouts to relieve the Exorcist Mountain Pass from danger. Caier immediately opened her eyes and stood up, Let me go. I can turn invisible, making it easier to scout. Long Haochen shook his head It wont do. In front of a mental probing at the Demon God Emperors level, your invisibility will hardly show effects. Let me go, if something goes wrong, I can immediately teleport back. I will be sure to take extra care. Caier was nning to reply, but had her shoulder pressed on by Long Haochen, who immediately teleported back after instructing everyone to keep cultivating. In a sh of golden light, Long Haochen was back to the ce they came from. The surroundings were an absolutely empty wilderness. After a time of reflection, Long Haochen took off his Golden Essence Foundation Armor, putting on arge cloak. Without travelling by flight, he ran quickly toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass. This was for the sake of reducing his release of holy aura. Either the Golden Foundation Armor or his spiritual wings would release far too much light essence. After running for less than a thousand meters, an overwhelming mental might swept by. The instant Long Haochen was shrouded by this mental might, he felt his blood congeal. A burst of purplish golden radiance burst forth from within him. This was a boost Haoyue gave him after acquiring his sixth head. In some sense, his strength was already mixed with Haoyues blood suppressing force. Without the slightest hesitation, Long Haochen instantly activated the Tower of Eternity, returning inside with a pale look. Only a few minutes had passed from his departure to his return. Seeing Long Haochening back so suddenly, everyone was in great shock. Its the Demon God Emperor. Long Haochen affirmed with no hesitation, I could sense his mental scouting. Theres no mistake, its surely him, I recognize that mental aura. What a powerful mental force. If he did that from the Exorcist Mountain Pass, his strength is really far too terrifying. We are at least at a distance of three hundred kilometers from there, but his mental force came very near. That irresistible feeling was just too terrifying. Long Haochen just felt as if he was violently suppressed by an almighty presence, still feeling dizzy even until now. Seeing his pale look, everyone couldnt help but exchange looks. To be able to inflict such heavy damage to Long Haochenwho had already killed several low ranked demon godswith his mental probing alone at a distance of several hundred kilometers, just what kind of strength could the Demon God Emperor have? Although his evaluation of the Demon God Emperor was already very high, he had after all never crossed hands with this number one of the demon race. Now everyone couldnt help but look at each other in dismay, feeling full of shock. What should we do next then, Boss? asked Sima Xian. Long Haochen had arleady calmed down, and replied with seriousness, Prate deep into demon territory with no dy. Just now, I made no prior preparations due to not thinking that the Demon God Emperors mental probing could reach such a long distance and didnt protect myself with mental force. At such a long distance, even if he sensed my existence, he couldnt possibly recognize me in such a short time. Remain in the Tower of Eternity, everyone. I am the main instigator of the teleportation so it will take ce where I am for everyone. Even if the Demon God Emperor is even more powerful, his mental probing must have some limitations of range. I will immediately set out, and use mental force protection on myself. Lets see to the rest after entering into demon territory. As long as we pass this hurdle, we can let the Demon God Emperor know that we are deep in demon territory and draw him back there. Actually, letting them remain in the Tower of Eternity and cultivate was the best method. The Demon God Emperor was surely expending quite a lot force tounch a mental probing of such arge scale and naturally could notunch it permanently. Choosing to move when its off was the safest. _But it wont do! What if the Demon God Emperor takes out his anger on the Exorcist Mountain Pass, due to my absense?_ Let alone an Assassin Temple, even the addition of the Knight Temple may not necessarily stop the advance of the Demon God Emperor. The Demon God Emperors aim was Long Haochen and Haoyue, so only their personal appearance in demon territory could attract the Demon God Emperors attention. Boss, isnt that too dangerous? Chen Yinger asked in worry. Long Haochen replied, No problem. Even if the Demon God Emperor confirms my presence, as long as I dont cross hands with him and immediately teleport back, there wont be too much danger. If it is only me alone, I can alreadyplete instant teleportation back to the Tower of Eternity. Cultivate here at ease, I will be alright. For the sake of the Alliance, I will be extremely careful. No one tried to persuade him, as Long Haochen always handled matters reliably, and would make very few uncertain decisions. He had already proved this on countless missions. Although everyone was worried for his safety, they also held absolute confidence towards him. In a sh of golden light, Long Haochen teleported back once again, this time covering his whole body with the protection of his mental force. Right after stepping toward Shengmo Dalu, he immediately rushed frantically toward the opposite direction, making way inside demon territory. If they were to contest in mental force, Long Haochen was far from being an opponent for the Demon God Emperor. But all he was using his mental force for was to protect his body. At such arge distance, the awareness the Demon God Emperor would have of him wouldnt be too strong. While rushing at full speed, Long Haochen tried his utmost to perceive the degree of intensity of the Demon God Emerors mental scouting. Very rapidly, he understood how the Demon God Emperor managed to miraculously reach over three hundred kilometers distance with his mental scouting. The Demon God Emperors mental scouting wasnt multidirectional, but only aiming in one direction, like a light beam shot horizontally. This way, his mental force would be fully gathered in one direction, naturally covering a much greater scouting range. However, even so, the terrifyingness of the Demon God Emperor caused Haochen to have chills, shaking a bit of his self-confidence to defeat him in the future. These recent years, Long Haochens strength had been growing at high speed. But at this very moment, he found out shockingly that the gap between the Demon God Emperor and him was still sky high! No wonder his grandfather gave him such an assessment. Long Tianying had told Haochen before that the present ages Demon God Emperor was the most powerful to appear since the descent of the demons six thousand years ago. He very possibly broke through the million spiritual energy for real, reaching the peak of the ninth step, and close to reaching the legendary boundary of the tenth step. Whats the tenth step? That is a gods boundary! And since the demons were originally not from his world, they werent subjected to the limitations imposed by this worlds gods. There are not even records of this level of attainment, because there had never been a human reaching this level. _The heavy matter of vanquishing the Demon God Emperor is still far off_ While thinking so, Long Haochen sped along. Just as he estimated, although the Demon God Emperors mental scouting wouldnd onto him at some intervals, it couldnt go through the surface of his body. It felt as if Long Haochen was a rock, which the mental scouting only swept past. The Demon God Emperors mental scouting didnt get stronger from beginning to end, which means that he shouldnt have found out about Long Haochens presence. But even so, he didnt dare loosen his vignce in the slightest, still focusing all his attention on the nearby changes. As soon as some wind blows along the surrounding grass, he would immediately teleport back to the Tower of Eternity. Demon camp outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass. In a deep green tent having just been established, the Demon God Emperor sat, cross-legged and shutting his both eyes, making special movements with both his hands. This huge tents surface was at least of five hundred square meters, extremely wide. But inside the tent were only the two almighty demon gods known as Demon God Emperor and Moon Demon God. The Moon Demon God Agares was seated calmly behind the Demon God Emperor, a wavering look on his face, as his look swept asionally through the surroundings. Situations of human Demon Hunt Squads ambushing the Demon God Emperor were already not a rare matter. Although in front of him, these humans had insufficient strength to be considered a threat, they had inexhaustible killing methods, so even the Demon God Emperor had no choice but to be careful. The terrifying mental force of the Demon God Emperor first went through the tent to reach high altitude, before spreading to the surroundings. Otherwise, if the demons in this camp were swept by this terrifying mental force, all would stand limp and wouldnt dare budge. As the second demon god, Agares strength was the closest to the Demon God Emperor in all demonkind. But right because of that, he understood how terrifying the Demon God Emperors strength was. His strength already overbounded the demon category since long, and was closer to the divine category. Chapter 606 - The Mental Scouting of the Demon God Emperor (III)

Chapter 606: The Mental Scouting of the Demon God Emperor (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Even Agares trembled in front of his terrifying mental force. He understood clearly that although he could be called the number two demon god, even if you were to add up Vassago, Saminaga, and Marbas forces, the three of them would definitely not be opponents for the Demon God Emperor. Without need to mention humans who dont know the extent of the Demon God Emperors strength, even their own sides demon gods didnt understand clearly what their ultimate sovereign reached. As the most powerful Demon God Emperor in demon History, Xiufengs real thoughts were unclear to all. The overflowing terrifying mental force vanished gradually, as the Demon God Emperor slowly opened his eyes, revealing a thin smile. Your Majesty, have you made some discoveries? Seeing his expression, Agares asked immediately. Xiufeng had a tranquill smile. He remarked rebukingly, How many times have I told you that no matter whose presence we are in, you are to call me Boss, not your Majesty. We are brothers. Agares smiled at him, Courtesy cannot be abandonned. As the number two demon god, I especially have to set the example. Boss prestige will forever be supreme. Xiufeng shook his head with a smile on his face, Here you go again Do as you please then. Seeing Xiufeng in a pretty good mood, Agares asked, Have you made some discoveries Boss? Xiufeng nodded, This youngster is really a cunning one. The trails disappeared a split second after appearing. It should be that teleporting ability AhBao spoke about. I am unable to grasp their spatial location too. Im afraid thats a teleporting treasure of the divine tool ss. Agares nodded, It is really going as third brother predicted it. It looks that catching him will really not be an easy matter. Not a strong opponent, but quite a cunning one. The Demon God Emperor revealed an ounce of disapointment and frustration, What a shame! A shame? Agares looked at Xiufeng with some uprehension, Boss, why is it that I get the feeling that you seem to not really want to kill this human? Xiufengs eyes revealed a trace of loneliness as he shook his head, So what if I do not want to kill him? I still have to kill him. Compared to the prosperity of ourrge race, what is a single person. Even if that person was AhBao, Id also have to kill him. Reaching this point, his eyebrows looked up, a cold smile appearing on his handsome face. These old human bastards are still really showing respect for me. Three Demon Hunt Squads are lying in wait around us, all formed of members exceeding 200,000 siritual energy. Are they afraid that I would act against the Exorcist Mountain Pass? But how could they know what the Exorcist Mountain Pass is in my eyes? Agares eyes lit up, Want me to go teach them a lesson, Boss? Xiufeng shook his head, No need. These guys are quite cunning, and wont easily intervene against us unless ites to thest resort. I dont feel like paying attention to them. After I handle that matter and get the status of god, I will purge them from Earth with a flick of the wrist. Do you know why I have still yet to dispose of them? Thats because I want to give humankind the feeling that they are really keeping me under control. This bnce cannot be rashly broken, otherwise the life and death struggle with humanity wont be easy for us to settle. Agares nodded, This Holy Wars aims should have already been attained. Boss, when should we end it? The damage to us these two years is considerable too, but the total poption has finally been regted. Xiufeng asked, How about the condition on the eastern side? After Andromalius died, leaving the Devil Snakes as a headless flock of dragons, the Demon God Emperor specially dispatched another demon god to keep watch. As thergest source of food supplies, the eastern ocean was extremely important. Agares replied, The current situation is pretty good with the order you gave of speeding up the exploitation of the oceanic resources. Our food supplies for this year are about thirty percent higher. With the decline of our poption due to the Holy War, there will be no issue maintaining ourselves for the time being. Furthermore, since these years you have been encouraging ntations and cultivation, these humans have been quite obedient: the amount of foodstuff is increasing year by year. Xiufeng nodded, Good. Keep seizing as many human artisans as possible from the Alliance. After the Holy War terminates, this will be our most immediate priority for the future. Also, lets also encourage human reproduction. After our domesticated humans reach sufficient numbers, we can go wipe out the Temple Alliance. I hope to see such a day happen in my living years. Agares showed a smile, Boss has a thousand years to rule, youre still young. Xiufeng replied indifferently, Im not young. However, if I can stabilize my foundations as a god, ruling eternally is absolutely not impossible. After I kill that Long Haochen, this Holy War can immediately be terminated. Humankind has lost a great deal of strength, and will be sufficiently intimidated. Yes. Long Haochen had been running for two days and two nights in the wilderness. Trying as far as possible to conceal the pure light essenceing out from him, he could only rely on his two legs. After a day of hurried running, he already stopped perceiving the Demon God Emperors presence. But even so, he absolutely didnt dare take a break. The most important to them had yet toe. They had to attract the Demon God Emperors attention within the shortest time possible. For the sake of increasing his distance from the Demon God Emperor, Long Haochen had been travelling in an easterly direction. Among all twenty-four demon provinces, the Central Province was actually not the most important one. The northwest of the continent was under the Temple Alliances control, while the demon side controlled the rest of the territory. Looking at the continent as a whole, the Central Province was actually in the south-central region, the nearest one to it being the Southeastern Fort protected by the Warrior Temple. The Exorcist Mountain Pass was considerably far, but demons upied such arge area, that when alone, Long Haochen was simply able to move without any hindrance. In such circumstances, the Demon God Emperor would hardly find him for real. On the past two days, it wasnt as if Long Haochen was running blindly either. In his rush, he stimted his internal spiritual energy, treating already most of his internal wounds. Upon entering in Yale Province, they could already be considered deep in demon territory, so he could finally rx. Now they needed to make noise to gain the attention of the Demon God Emperor. From the map Yue Ye handed over to him stored in the Eternal Melody, when he unfolded and examined it, it not only recorded the terrain and towns, but even the garrisoning situation of the various demon ns. But of course, out of consideration for the Holy War, the current situation should have changed to some extent. The Yale Province was in a convenient location, its capital Yale City being in the midst of the main road. A demon god should be in garrison there, based on the contents of the map. That was the fifty-seventh ranked demon god, Panther Demon God Auxerre,manding the Panther Demons stationed in Yale City. Panther Demons could not be considered a n of fighters. They were quite low in numbers, but had their own characteristics. In times of battle, they wouldnt be as tough and valiant as Demonic Bears or Ox Demons, but were extremely fast, expert inunching surprise attacks with astonishing offensive force. Expert in both speed and offense, they were close to Jacques Demons in number, but because of the presence of their demon god bloodline, their strength and position were far above Jacques Demons. In this Panther Demon n, Long Haochens target was fixed. Only, he didnt know whether this fifty-seventh-ranked Panther Demon God was or was not in Yale City. No matter whether he would be there or not, Long Haochen already took the decision to tell the Demon God Emperor about his arrival in deep demon territory with that surprise attack. Activating the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen returned the next instant in the Tower of Eternity. The members of Bright Glimmer of Hope, who were all seated cultivating at the same spot, immediately awoke from the state of cultivation upon Long Haochens return. Haochen, how are you? Caier stepped forward and was the first to ask. The others gathered round as well, but only Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were still lying on the ground. However, these two were now awake. After receiving two days of care and treatment, they at least wouldnt lose consciousness in a single movement. Long Haochen replied, I have already prated deeply in demon territory, and at the present time, I am already in Yale Province. Be prepared everyone, I will be teleporting us in the north of the Yale Province, approximately two hundred kilometers from Yale City, which will be our first target. We will be setting out two hourster. Although these two days of travel were enough for him to finish recovering, his mind was considerably tired, after all he had to travel in a state of extreme vigilence, and needed some rest before he could proceed. Everyone nodded sessively. Seeing Long Haochen back safe and sound was already a proof that he had broken away from the Demon God Emperor. Going once again into demon territory, and tounch an assault, how could they not be excited? Each of them were already eager for action. Long Haochen squatted in front of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, Brother Yang, Brother Duan, how are your injuries? Is it feeling better? Seeing Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi couldnt help but have their hearts filled up with all sorts of feelings. After being defeated by the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus, they didnt think they would have the chance to stay alive. And they expected even less to be saved by their greatest rival in the Knight Temple. Back in those years, when everyone was undergoing the test to be Demon Hunters, Long Haochens cultivation was still far from the two of them. After the pse of time, although they also hadnt met him for a while, they understood very clearly his achievements of the past. He was the first person to destroy a demon god pir in human History, the cause for the Demon God Emperor tounch a Holy War, yet backed by the Alliance. The killer of a demon god. Each of these achievements were sufficiently shocking, unsurpassable pinnacles. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi being also highly talented knights, were both geniuses in their young ages. If they were in the previous generations, they would surely be the most valued targets of nurturing for the Alliance. But as they were born in the same generation as Long Haochen, they were doomed to remain concealed under the background of the Scion of Light. Haochen... Chapter 607 - Haoyue’s Descent (I)

Chapter 607: Haoyues Descent (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Haochen... Just from calling out this name, Yang Wenzhaos voice was choking with emotions. Speechless for a moment, he couldnt help but lower his head in the midst of numerous emotions flowing in him, unwilling to look straight at that handsome face. Yang Wenzhao, Han Yu, and Long Haochen were all children of the Knight Temples higher-ups. Because of living with his mother in his childhood, Long Haochens fate was naturallypletely different from the other two. And what Yang Wenzhao and Han Yu had that he didnt was haughtiness. The Knight Temple being the head of the Six Great Temples, and their families being naturally gifted, they had some pride deep in their bones, which is why Yang Wenzhao would inadvertently offend Chen Yinger as well, while Han Yu had suffered a crushing defeat against Long Haochen back in the Demon Hunter Selection Competitions preliminary contest. The prides of these two differed in that Han Yus disy was far more distinct, which is also why he suffered its aftermath far earlier. Yang Wenzhao was far more steady: as the grandson of the head of the Temple Alliance, calling him the number one prince in the Temple Alliance would be no exaggeration. But he never showed an overbearing character by relying on that status, but put forth instead far more efforts than anyone else, for the sake of taking over his grandfathers glory one day. Without Long Haochens extraordinarying, he only had to keep on living and grow smoothly to very possibly be the sessor of the Knight Temple. But because of the immense pressure brought by Long Haochen, he had to exert even more effort. But Long Haochens talent really exceeded his overmuch. With, in addition, the far greater efforts exerted by thetterpared to him, he could only stare nkly as the gap between Long Haochen and him only kept widening. This feeling had been choking up Yang Wenzhaos heart, frequently making his feelings unstable. The coboration of his Demon Hunt Squad with Duan Yis suffered destructive damage due to the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus attack. To Yang Wenzhao, this was a far excessive damage. After getting captured by Asmodeus, he once attempted to suicide but was stopped by the demon god. At that time, he knew he was used for amusement. No matter whether the annihtion of his Demon Hunt Squad was his fault or not, as a captain, he had his unshrinkable responsibility. Even if he were to miraculously make it alive, he knew that he would forever be unable to enter the higher-ups of the Knight Temple. How could this not discourage him? If not for how Chen Yinger took care of him these two days, he would be feeling even worse. But Chen Yingers forgiveness gave him the courage to keep on living. Now that he looked at Long Haochen, many feelings mingled in him, but most of all, he was in massive shock. Thank you Haochen. This favor of saving my life will be forever in my heart. Yang Wenzhao adjusted his feelings and spoke these words sincerely. At this moment, he had already lost the heart topete with Long Haochen. Chen Yinger had already informed him of the matter of Long Haochen having be the Provisional Saint Knight Head. _So he has really already reached the eighth step?_ Yang Wenzhaos gratitude was truly sincere. Although he knew that he could never surpass Long Haochen in the future, this time not only his life was saved, but he could furthermore reunite with Chen Yinger, and obtained her pardon. Long Haochen showed a faint smile, You should rather be thanking Yinger. Ever since she learnt the news that you were captured, she was restless every second. We were just present at the right time and no more. Yang Wenzhao sighed, Its my fault, I have ruined myrades prospects. If I didnt make that strategic decision, that operation would not have happened. I have no face to meet grandfather or return to the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Tower. Haochen, I am thinking of leaving from here when my wounds get better. This life will be sacrificed against demons. Whats that nonsense! Beside him, Chen Yinger had be furious, So your life has no worth? These two days, I worked for you until being blue in the face, and you still want so stubbornly to go die. What do you want me to say to that? Just go to hell! Go to hell! Saying that, Chen Yinger turned around and ran, bursting into tears in the embrace of the nearby Wang Yuanyuan. Looking at her, Yang Wenzhaos eyes darkened, but he did not call out to her, only remaining silent. Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, and dered, Brother Yang, I know that this matter has hurt you greatly. But have you thought of that, that your life does not belong only to you? Why do you think that we have been doing everything we could to save the two of you and Brother Duan? Was that for you to once again throw away your life? You are both excellent figures from the young generation of our Knight Temple, with unlimited future prospects. Dont tell me you want to ruin yourself after a single setback. Would that be worthy of Grandpa Yang? Worthy of Yinger? If you really want to die, you will not only ruin yourself, but also end up as a thorough coward. I am not a coward. Yang Wenzhao bellowed in rage, and because of the emotional act, his injury was once again stimted, and his face couldnt help but turn pale once again. Hearing Long Haochens angry scolding, Chen Yinger stopped crying as well. Seeing Yang Wenzhao affected by his wound, she couldnt help but want to get back to him, but was held in Wang Yuanyuans arms. Yuanyuan gave her a meaningful nce and shook her head. Long Haochen showed a sneer, Youre not a coward? If youre not a coward, why would you be dering your intention to end your life like that? To run away from everything like that is the most cowardly behavior you could have. Think carefully, how did theserades of yours die? Wanting to die is a possibility, but would it be worthy of them to run away like that? Are you not afraid in the slightest that they would go stab your backbones in the other world? Yourrades are still demanding retribution, and you want to send away your life like that? Theres no way the Dragon Rider Asmodeus would even remember you, hell even be d that he didnt tire himself to kill such a coward who didnt even dare take revenge. I know that deep inside, you have always had the wish to surpass me, bing the number one of the younger generation of the Knight Temple. Juste! I will be waiting for you. Are you prepared to give up like that? Do you think there is only one Divine Throne avable in the Knight Temple? Yuanyuan, get hold of Yinger, I will be throwing away Yang Wenzhao right now, so that he can go perish on his own. Anyway, he wants to go die, whats the use to wait for his injury to get better? Not expecting such a harsh rebuking toe out from Long Haochens mouth, the whole group became dumbstruck, and everyone was speechless for a moment. Long Haochens cold voice thrust inside Yang Wenzhaos heart like a sharp de. No. Yang Wenzhao shouted, I need to keep living, I have not taken revenge for myrades yet. I cannot die like that. His eyes had both already be bloody red, The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus is mine. I will be sure to tear his dismembered body into countless pieces for myrades retribution and to let their souls rest in peace. Me too. Duan Yi who had been staying silent all the previous time also spoke, A half of Asmodeus life is mine. Long Haochen who saw things were about right let out a cold snort and turned back toward his own mates, remarking, What are you looking at? Havent I told you to go get ready? Saying that, he nced at them meaningfully. Yessir! Including Chen Yinger, all the members of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, including Zhang Fangfang as well, uproariously responded. Out of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis field of view, Sima Xian and Lin Xin showed their thumbs ups to Long Haochen, and Chen Yinger greatly loosened her breath, ncing thankfully at Long Haochen. Without rushing back to Yang Wenzhaos side, she sat down and underwent cultivation without consulting with anyone else. Now was clearly not a good time to pay attention to Yang Wenzhao, so that he could calm down and cool down his head. Caier apanied Long Haochen to sit far away, and smiled at him, Im bing aware for the first time that you can really be so harsh with your words. Long Haochen replied quite helplessly, There was no other way. Have you paid attention to the emotions showing in their eyes? They were totally out of light. The death of theirrades inflicted them with a far too huge blow. Their unreceptive state was just too helpless. If I werent harsh, there was no way to awake their fighting spirit. Although their courage to keep on living has only been stimted using the pretext of revenge, this will at least enable them to keep living on, and slowly get better. They are no fools, and should get over it. Caier nodded, then observed Long Haochens tired look, and said, Hurry up and go rest. Cant our operations be dyed a bit? Youre too tired. Long Haochen shook his head resolutely, Out of the question. With every minute we waste here, great-grandfather has higher odds to have to face the Demon God Emperors attacks. We must let the Demon God Emperor know that we are already deep in his territory as soon as possible. And furthermore, there will be at most the fifty-seventh demon god in Yale City. He wont be an excessive threat to us. Speaking these words, he immediately shut his eyes and started to undergo meditation. Although Caier knew that Long Haochen was mostly doing that for the Alliance and all humankind, the Exorcist Mountain Pass was after all her household! Seeing Long Haochen refuse to take more rest even in such a tired state, how could she stay passive? In the meantime, she prayed secretly for her great-grandfather and parents, that the Demon God Emperor must by no means attack the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If she knew that three formidable Demon Hunt Squads formed only of almighty heroes were keeping watch on the camp where the Demon God Emperor was stationed, she wouldnt be so nervous. How could the Temple Alliance have nothing prepared to restrict the Demon God Emperor. Maybe these three Demon Hunt Squads added up were still no opponents for the Demon God Emperor and the demon gods on his side, but if they were to stake everything to attack the Demon God Emperor, even Xiufeng known as the most powerful Demon God Emperor in History would have to weigh it carefully. Two hours passed very rapidly, and at the time Long Haochen opened his eyes, hisrades were all gathered together. Without more chatting, Long Haochen immediately spoke, Set off. While saying that, his eyes swept through the distant Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. They were now in meditative postures, visibly starting to recover from their wounds through the means of cultivation. That was definitely a good start. Long Haochen showed a thin smile, as he activated the teleportation of the Eternal Melody. Chapter 608 - Haoyue Descends (II)

Chapter 608: Haoyue Descends (II)

Trantor: GravityTales In a flicker of golden light, they reappeared in the Jale Province. Long Haochens limpid golden eyes shed with deep purple intent, and immediately, a trail of purple light appeared in front of him. Soft purple halos took shape within a diameter of over ten meters, where a massive figure appeared. Six pairs of extremely cold eyes were opening slowly, revealing different colors. A steady and grim aura came out from his amethyst colored body. Long Haochen aside, the others all immediately had chills from seeing his cold look,parable to a deep pool of ice. Only, when his six pairs of eyes looked at Long Haochen, the look on his face changed, making aplete transformation. Bing amiable and excited took only an instant. All six heads gathered, crawling in front of Long Haochen and lightly stroking his body, just as if trying to gain his favor. Chen Yinger breathed deeply, extremely shocked, Haoyues aura had such qualitative changes! Noble, proud, ice-cold, and his scales are so beautiful and charming. At the time Long Haochen had summoned Haoyue in the battle against her grandfather, Chen Yinger had already be unconscious, so this was the first time she got to see Haoyue after reuniting with the group. As a summoner, she naturally had a great understanding of magical beasts, but seeing Haoyue, even as the Spiritual Saint Girl, she didnt feel an affinity with Haoyue. In other words, even the spokesperson of the mythological beasts was unable to interact with Haoyue, much less gain his approval. A magical beast with whom the Saint Spiritual Girl is unable to connect, what could that mean? Whats more, Haoyues cultivation had just stepped into the eighth step, still far from the peak for a magical beast. However Chen Yinger didnt find that strange: even her grandfather didnt understand Haoyues limits, much less her current self. Most of all, the stronger Haoyue was, the better that would be for the team. She naturally didnt have a bad impression just because Haoyue didnt pay attention to her. Lightly patting Haoyues head, Long Haochen dered, Lets get going. Follow me on Haoyues back, everyone. Han Yu spoke in amazement, Captain, Im afraid this will cause Haoyue to expose himself. Haoyues amethyst colored scales were just far too conspicuous. Even at high altitude, the sunlights reflection would make them very easily findable. Long Haochen revealed a tranquil smile, Getting found out by the demons is what we want, otherwise how could we attract the Demon God Emperors attention? Im afraid that we are just going to have to y hide-and-seek with him for a long time. This statement was full of self-confidence. ying hide-and-seek with the Demon God Emperor, could anything else sound more domineering? After evolving to the state of getting six heads, Haoyues body didnt keep erging, but he already surpassed fifteen meters in length. Long Haochens group of eight didnt feel crowded in the slightest on Haoyues back. Haoyue lifted his six heads, extending his immense pair of wings. His massive limbs stomped abruptly on the ground, pushing his massive body to the air. That instant, his wings seemed to cause gales as he flew, his magnificent amethyst colored figure breaking into the skies, facing the south under Long Haochens instructions. Just after Haoyue started to fly, a green glow of light spread out from Little Greens head, enveloping his body as well as Long Haochens group inside. Floating Technique, able to massively lighten total weight. This originally single-targeted wind spell was unexpectedly showing multi-targeted effects when used by Little Green. After the reduction of weight by Little Green, he pped his wings, greatly speeding up and shing like an amethyst colored meteor streaking toward the horizon. Seated on Haoyues back, the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope were all extremely steady, but did not feelfortable at all, because of the strange suppressing effects the unique aura released from Haoyues body had on them. Furthermore, taints of coldness were asionally spreading, making them quite uneasy. This kind of feeling hadnt appeared before, even at the time Haoyue evolved to his five heads state. Caier rushed to tell Long Haochen about this feeling. After reflecting for a short instant, he determined that this should be mostly rted to Haoyues bloodline force. After getting his sixth head, Haoyues bloodline force was distinctly aroused significantly. That was the most distinct major change outside of the fact he had obtained his sixth head as well as another elemental attribute. That was the only reason for the feelings of unease everyone had. Still, for the sake of this surprise attack, everyone could only bear with it. At longst, Long Haochen made Haoyue restrain his bloodline force and aura as far as possible to avoid affecting everyone too much. Haoyues speed of flight was enormous: at the start, Long Haochen thought his speed would surely not match Star King, but he realized his mistake very fast. With the support of Little Greens wind magic, Haoyue only kept elerating, andpletely surpassed Star Kings standards. Several thousand meters were traversed, and in merely half an hour, Jale City was already in their sight. Our target is the Demon God Pce in Jale City. After Haoyue descends, we will strive our hardest to destroy the buildings and kill the demons inside. But you must not exit the range of the Demon God Pce. Yinger, Lin Xin, you two mustnt leave Haoyues back. Yinger, dont intervene for now. If the enemyunches arge offense, your beast-summoning magic will serve as backup forces for us. After giving them simple warnings, Long Haochen patted Haoyues neck,municating his intentions to him. The massive amethyst colored body immediately turned into a streaking purple meteor, diving down fast, straight at Jale City. Every demon god was qualified to have a Demon God Pce built under his name. However, the norms differed: every twelve ranks, the norms would rise by a grade. The Demon God Emperors was undoubtedly the most majestic of all these Demon God Pces. Although Long Haochen was unsure of whether the Panther Demon God Auxerre was in Jale City, no matter whether that was the case, his Demon God Pce was surely built in Jale City as that was the area under the demon gods protection. Moreover, that was surely the best building in the whole city, so even though this was their first timeing here, in the midst of Haoyues fast dive, they immediately locked onto the location of the Panther Demon Gods pce. This Demon God Pce was located in the central area of Jale City. The massive pce reached up to a thousand meters in height, and its floor area, at least ten thousand square meters. On the front end of the massive pce, a panther-head-shaped entrance was visible. The fiery-red colored panther face had itsrge mouth opened, and pitch ck marks extended from the forehead to the back of the head. That was the Demon God Pce of the Panther Demon God Auxxere, the Panther Demon Pce! All Demon God Pces were built ording to their respective demon gods preferences. Magic arrays set up by the demon gods of the prior generations were set up, strengthening their cultivation and strength. Therefore, one could say that a demon god would be the strongest within his own Demon God Pce. Except for special situations, their demon god pir would generally be stored in their Demon God Pce. In the sky, a giant amethyst shape dove down, immediately gaining the attention of the Panther Demons inhabiting Jale City. Panther Demons exceeding the sixth step had the ability of flight: over a dozen yellow figures soared above Jale City, heading for that sudden amethyst shape in a rush. Panther Demons generally reached a height of two meters. Those at least reaching the sixth step had pairs of wings on their back, bing Major Panther Demons. In build, they were close to humans, but with a panther head, and yellow hairs growing all over their bodies. The stronger a Panther Demon gets, the more thick and moist its hairs be. _Roaa!_ An overwhelming roar sounded out, and immediately one could see six radiances of different colors rush out. The Major Panther Demons which had risen to the sky were their immediate victims, and one could see these levitating Major Panther Demons turn into trails of blood, as a massively oppressing spiritual energy came to view. Arge expense of fireballs, ice arrows, wind de, light edges, fallen rocks and deep purple poison spheres came to view, engulfing the Panther Demon Pce. That was Haoyues bursts of attacks. Dont dare underestimate these low grade spellsing out from him. These spells produced a far superior might than ordinarily. Every one of these spells werepressed at least three times more than normally. However, the Panther Demon God Pce was after all the pce of the Panther Demon God Auxerre. Those surprise attacks immediately activated its defensive formations, and pitch-ck halos abruptly spread out from within, turning into a massive ck barrier which enveloped the whole Panther Demon Pce within. Concentrated magic was fired at that ck barrier and produced all kinds of ripples, but did not cause any substantial damage to it. The Panther Demons inside Jale City were still considerably fast to respond. If one were to survey from high altitude, he would see that arge amount of Panther Demons were flocking from all directions, while some Panther Demons came out from the Panther Demon Pce as well. It wasnt as if the Temple Alliances Demon Hunters didntunch offenses against Jale City, but that was the first time it was done so openly and fearlessly, shing from the very front. In fact, such an attack would be faced not only by the Panther Demon Pce, but also the entirety of the Panther Demons in Jale City. The Panther Demons nsmen were not very numerous, but at least ten thousand in count. Jale City being thend of their foundations, the most powerful Panther Demons were almost all residing there. The powerhouses of the eighth step alone were already over a dozen. In normal times the Panther Demon God Auxerre would also be keeping watch, and moreover Jale City wasnt a neighbouring city, so even if such a brazen frontal assault seeded, it would inevitably cause demon powerhouses to rush from all directions to encircle and annihte the troublemakers. Haoyues fast divine figure was about to reach the Panther Demons Pce as his previous offensive barrages of magic didnt manage to significantly damage the darkness elemental protections in the Panther Demon Pce. At the very moment, his appearance was seen clearly by the Panther Demons below. A six-headed dragon? From Haoyues grown wings, head shape, and horn, he was currently not looking like a lizard anymore, but closer to a dragon. As all the Panther Demons felt enormous confidence in their Panther Demon God Pces defenses, and believed that Haoyue was undoubtedly going to be repelled back, his six heads snarled once again, loudly. Ayer of purple intent spread out from his body, shing with the defensive barrier of the Panther Demon Pce. Chapter 609 - Haoyue Descends (III)

Chapter 609: Haoyue Descends (III)

Trantor: GravityTales A strange scene followed. To the shock of the Panther Demons on watch, the instant the shield and purple intent came in contact, the defense slipped away like snow from a freshly oiled floor, and the massive Haoyuended explosively on the summit of the Panther Demon Pce. Badoom! The violent explosion sshed dust and rocks in all directions. The whole Yale City was shaken by the ear-splitting loud sound and shaking. Haoyue unexpectedly broke inside the Panther Demon Pce just like that. Arge hole had appeared on top of the Panther Demon Pce, letting his four vigorous limbsnd inside the main hall of the pce. The massive shaking from his violentnding caused the appearance of wide cracks, but it seemed that Haoyue was totally unharmed. His sixrge heads fired like six Magic Cannonsunching offensive magic to his surroundings at a frantic speed. The inside will always be the least solid part of a fort. The Panther Demon Pce was also like that: who could guess that someone would break through the defensive barrier? Haoyues tempestuous magicbinations using six elements immediately made the inside of the Panther Demon Pce a total mess. All the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope felt dumbstruck. Haoyue was just too fierce. They were originally prepared to join the battle to dispose of the defensive protection, but who would have thought that it would get smashed after just one roar from Haoyue? At that very moment, they felt totally carefree: Haoyues performance was just too delighting. Most of all, Chen Yinger was excitedly hopping on Haoyues back. Yang Wenzhao had sustained heavy wounds, and although they were starting to get better, fully recovering in one or two months would be impossible. This enmity was naturally ounted to the nearby demons, plus they were directly attacking a demon city, and even a capital city. Using such methods made it just too fulfilling. Haoyues magic bombardment made those Panther Demons not even dare rush forward directly. The Panther Demon Pce was really solid: althoughrge damage had appeared in the midst of the violent explosion, the whole building had yet to crumble entirely. Right at this time, yellow figures leaped on the surroundings, their violent darkness essence instantly turning into ck defensive barriers aimed against Haoyues magic bombardment. With a stare, Haoyues six heads roared at the same time. Immediately, another burst of purple intent appeared, immediately causing the ck colored barrier of the Panther Demon powerhouses to copse, and stopping their defensive magic. Haoyues six heads then released another burst of repeated spells, this time scattering and smashing the bodies of Panther Demons of at least the sixth step. Lin Xin gulped his saliva, and looked at Long Haochen, Boss, howe I feel that there is not even a need for us to act? Haoyue is doing well enough by himself. Indeed, when Haoyues six heads fired, there was no opportunity at all for them to take part. Haoyues magic covered almost the whole Panther Demon Hall. With each of Haoyues jumps, great consequences followed. Long Haochen had a look of pleasant surprise. After getting his sixth head, Haoyues magic was greatly amplified. Furthermore, his spiritual energy was almost inexhaustible. Whileunching magic, Long Haochen could feel a great amount of elemental residue appearing in Haoyues body and replenishing his spiritual energy very fast. Just in this short while, the Panther Demon Pce was totally in ruins, without the slightest bearing of a Demon God Pce. Dont worry, when more powerful Panther Demonse, everyone will get to join the battle. Long Haochen addressed that reply to the whole group. Just as Long Haochen spoke, a yellow figure suddenly shed out like a bolt of lightning, rushing at Haoyue. It was just too fast, taking close to a breath to arrive in front of Haoyue. And in the meantime, as it elerated like that, it effectively dodged all Haoyues spells very closely every time, all of which left slight twisting yellow traces on its back. That was a Panther Demon with golden hairs all over the body. His citrine colored eyes shed with dense killing intent. On the front end of his vigorous arms were sharp ws. The instant it arrived in front of Haoyue, the wings on its back made a sudden turn, changing direction abruptly. While rising upwards, its ws were aimed straight at Little Lights eyes. Be it in terms of speed, power, or reactivity, this Panther Demon was much more powerful than the previous ones. A sharp and substantive darkness aura was swept violently, producing sharp hissing sounds in the air. That power was close to the state of Spiritual Hignd. Panther Demons weaknessy in their mediocre defense, but their speed and offensive power was top-notch. The performance of this Panther Demon was brilliant in these aspects. Facing such a sudden surprise attack, Haoyue acted like he didnt see anything, as he keptunching the spells he was casting, paying no attention to that. An orange colored radiance shed as the Panther Demons attack was on the verge of reaching Little Lights head. _Dang._ In a sharp and clear exploding sound, the Panther Demons body was shot away. His pair of sharp ws took a special posture, releasing four pitch-ck de projections, until Long Haochen came to block the attack. Long Haochens body was flickering in golden light. That was the ability Bright Vengeance produced after his Divine Obstruction. When he received this Panther Demonsst attack, his body only shook slightly, but immediately repelled it; that gold colored Panther Demon was at the eighth step. The extremity of his foot used Haoyues back as support, as an orange colored de projection was swept away instantly. Just after meeting it, all the ck de projections were immediately scattered and smashed. Immediately, Long Haochens body came to a sudden standstill, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light was waved forward. This sword strike didnt leave the slightest trace in its way. The sword intent in it was not sharp, but rather carried traces of warmth. But that Golden Panther Demon abruptly felt unable to avoid it. Even drawing back was impossible: despite his level of speed, he waspletely unable to escape from being enveloped by that sword intent. With a low howl, the ws of that Golden Panther Demon instantly turned gold colored. Its body made a rushed rotation, and the pair of ws simultaneously aimed to strike Long Haochen. The spiritual energy released from the w even produced a gloss of dark gold. _ng_. A sharp sound apanied the Golden Panther Demons scream. Just how many demon powerhouses had Long Haochen aleady faced? He had already fought over five existences reaching the demon god level. Although he didnt achieve victory every time, having experienced battles against so many powerhouses of such kind, how could this Panther Demon of the eighth step possibly stop him? This warm-looking sword intent let out an instant burst upon shing with the Golden Panther Demon. The the brittle, sharp sound was the abrupt shattering of the ws against the Aria of the Goddess of Light. However, this Golden Panther Demon remained quite valiant. After the Aria of the Goddess of Light ruptured its ws, although a deep bloody scar was produced from its chest to its thigh, that still didnt kill him in one blow. In fact, that was the sword intent released by a divine sword. To resist instant death against it, this Panther Demon was considerably valiant. Feeling an increasing affinity between the Aria of the Goddess of Light and himself, Long Haochen didnt even look at the Panther Demon he had just neutralized. In another sh of orange color, a de projection was released and this time, its golden radiance erged, chasing that Panther Demon which was instantly split in two. A demon powerhouse of the eighth step was just annihted by Long Haochen who was at the same eighth step. This gap of strength was also a gap of equipment. Long Haochens set of equipment all reached the epic tier at least. The Aria of the Goddess of Light and Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon could even reach the divine tool tier at anytime. Adding to this his understanding of sword intent, even the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus had to respond prudently, yet was finally wounded by Haochen, not to mention this ordinary Golden Panther Demon. But at the same time this Golden Panther Demonunched its assault, other golden figures rushed forward, as ck colored de projections entangled in midair, blocking a great part of Haoyues bombardment, and arge amount of Panther Demons flocked from outside. At least eight other Golden Panther Demons had made their way into the hall to stop Haoyues magic attacks. Seeing theplete mess inside the Panther Demon Pce, these Panther Demons let out shouts of fury. But they were only surrounding Long Haochens group and didnt attack in a rush. Haoyues magic came to a stop. He coldly red at the surrounding Panther Demons, and the downcast chanting from his six heads mouths started to change rythm. Long Haochen obviously knew what Haoyue was nning, and immediately jumped on Little Lights head, mentally telling him to stop chanting that incantation. Haoyue was trying to use the six-elemental Essence of Disorder! No matter how many Panther Demons were present, in case this fired off, probably no survivors would emerge atside from these Golden Panther Demons of the eighth step. The other Panther Demons would certainly face death. But an Essence of Disorder of this level came with a veryrge burden for Haoyue too. This was a strategic location for demons, so Long Haochen had no intention tounch a teleportation from here, so he definitely had to maintain Haoyues strength. And furthermore, he sensed some response inside this Panther Demon Hall, of the enemy existence he really wanted to meet. Go! Long Haochen waved his hand and took the lead to jump from Haoyues back. Now that they were in demon territory, he didnt need to conceal his identity anymoe, and spread out the four golden spiritual wings on his back to shoot like a golden arrow at the enemies. Outside from Chen Yinger and Lin Xin, everyone jumped down in session from Haoyues back as well. With Haoyues protection, the two mage didnt need to worry for their own safety at all. Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, and Caier charged into five different directions from Long Haochen. Each of them unfolded the spiritual wings on their backs, and released powerful auras of might. Chapter 610 - Besieging the Panther Demon God (I)

Chapter 610: Besieging the Panther Demon God (I)

Trantor: GravityTales At the current time, they werepletely different from their younger selves. Before the Holy War, they encountered such powerful foes that they had to perfect their formations for survival, putting safety as the top priority. But they already had the strength to assumeplete responsibility for themselves. Gathering together to fight against enemies of this level would only impede their fighting strength. At that very moment, Haoyue once again showed a whole new face. In the midst of low-voiced chaotic incantations, Little me made the first move, causing six mes to sh through. Including Long Haochen inside, the six individuals rushing out were covered with a protection of fire. These protections reached about three meters diameter, glinting in dark red radiance, but without affecting their movements in the least. Outside the protections, the Panther Demons facing them would feel extreme heat. The weaker ones had their hairs scorched even from a distance. Little Green was the second one. He added up the eleration Techniques boost to everyone. As green light flickered under everyones feet, their bodies became visibly more nimble. Immediately following , two immense halos epassing the whole stage dispersed, all aimed at the enemy. The Ninth Holy Guards Gravity Technique was mimicked in Little Yellows incantations, and the extremely fast Panther Demons immediately felt full of chills, greatly restricted. Another glow came out from Little Yellow, emitting simple fluctuations of light and providing even more holy aura as a supplement, which impressively weakened the Panther Demons utilizing darkness attribute. Little Purple and Little Blue were both in the midst of chanting, seemingly requiring some more time to be done. But without a doubt, the power of a chant would increase with its length. As another mage, Lin Xin was dumbstruck while standing on Haoyues back. The current Haoyue was like six Saint Magic Tutors of the eighth step fighting shoulder to shoulder. From the beginning of his attacks to his current global boosts, his strength was domineering. And each head had its own frightening intelligence. Six intelligent beings in one body, able to harmonize with such perfection. Just what kind of magical beast could that be? Chen Yingers shock was not below Lin Xins in the least. Gaining the effects from Haoyues boosts, Long Haochens group of six was already fighting the enemy at close quarters. Long Haochen was the first one in action. In front of him were two Panther Demons of the eighth step with arge quantity of Panther Demons of the sixth step. The weakest enemies that reached out here were already at the sixth step of cultivation. Obviously, these Panther Demons knew very well that sending weaker individuals to face these humans who dared to forcefully break out in the midst of the Demon God Pce would have no use at all. Myriads of de projections dispersed unrestrainedly, filling the whole hall with thunderous murderous spirit, as a light essence full of substance blossomed brazenly. It was a Swords Rain. Even without Haoyues boosts, Long Haochens fighting strength was already considerably terrifying. Swords Rain covered an immense area, instantly epassing all the opponents within the surrounding thirty meters. Every one of the immense sword projections were like the real things, just as if countless images hade out instantly from the Aria of the Goddess of Light to strike at the enemies images. Long Haochens powerful strike was really just too fierce. Let alone those Panther Demons of the sixth step, in front of his Swords Rain even Golden Panther Demons could only draw back rapidly, resisting with all their strength. In a sh of blood color, one Panther Demon of the sixth step after another was crushed in front of Swords Rain. Their passive defense was useless in front of its power; while the Golden Panther Demons could only barely defend themselves, counterattacking would hardly be possible. The only intent of these Panther Demons resistance was precisely to spend their quite resilient strength along with their own spiritual power to do their utmost to use up Swords Rains power. But even so, Long Haochens sword not only breached their attempts, but even left corpses of over thirty Panther Demons. With sharp bellows, just as Sword Rains power declined, the two Golden Panther Demons surrounded Long Haochens sides like bolts of lightning. Their sharp ws had already turned dark gold as they frantically attacked him. But just at this time, another heavy sword had appeared in Long Haochens left hand. A jadeite-like dark green gloss shed in a glint and dispersed a greenish gold luster, enveloping Long Haochen inside and concealing his figure under its shining illumination. In a series of crisp, melodious tones, the two Golden Panther Demons were sted back simultaneously, as tiny ruptures were left on their naturally extremely tough ws. Long Haochens figure shed forward once again, paying no heed at all to them. Lightspeed sh wasunched, instantly exceeding the Golden Panther Demons speed. Overbearingly rushing into the ranks of the Grand Panther Demons, he burst out with dark green and orange dual-colored radiances, turning into a destorm engulfing the whole crowd. A terrifying attractive force pulled the surrounding Grand Panther Demons. These ordinarily extremely valiant demons were torn to shreds just like fruits, turning into fine particles of blood and flesh. The two Golden Panther Demons were totally unable to stop Long Haochen. In front of a destorm of such level, they didnt even have the courage to rush in. Just then in other areas the intense smell of ughter was bursting out. Caiers attacks were the most simple and direct, simple gray arcs were traced in her hands path, as the Sickle of the God of Deaths grey afterimage brought death and annihtion, while greatly purifying darkness. Just as Long Haochen was ughtering his way unrestrainedly, Caier had also gotten rid of a Golden Panther Demon. Now the Sickle of the God of Deaths cold de struck, massacring the ordinary Grand Panther Demons. Its dense grey brilliance became all Panther Demons nightmare. Compared to Long Haochen and Caier, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang were visibly behaving as expected. The two of them had a huge shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other one, charging their way out. Although their killing power was unable topare with the vice-captain, the two of them showed invulnerable defense. At every strike, deaths would follow. As Guardian Knights they visibly showed some restraint, prepared at anytime to rescue theirrades. The real spotlight was one Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian, who joined in total ughter. Wang Yuanyuans eyes turned blood red, seeming just like the time she was resisting the demon army in the Warrior Temple. The blood in her was already boiling profusely, and in her hand, Bloodstorm let out a drizzling red brilliance with terrible offensive strength as the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield became her long-ranged weapon. Everywhere she passed, demons were blown to pieces. A faint bloody aura was emitted from her body, and upon its sight or when crossing eyes with Yuanyuan, all demons had the feeling of losing all their guts. That was the terrifying bloody murderous spirit Wang Yuanyuan nurtured in the battlefield. Walking through seas of corpses, she caused uncountable demons to perish under her weapon Bloodstorm. Entering the state of battle, she emitted a tyrannical aura of ughter, as if it was a matter of course. Bloodcut and Bloody Dance were used alternately. Adding to that the power of her Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate, she instantly drilled through the most packed areas to let her ughter unfold. In just a few instants, the Grand Panther Demons she killed were not below Long Haochen in the slightest. Although Wang Yuanyuan is a girl, she currently showed no trace of pity. On the other side, Sima Xian also showed an extremely tyrannical disy. This guy may not be able to instantly transport himself in the midst of the enemies ranks like Wang Yuanyuan, but his destructive power was even higher. pping the wings on his back, Sima Xian lit in pure golden splendor. Like a piece of metal being cast, his face and skin turned gold colored. One could faintly see that gold color being dispersed from his chest. A Golden Panther Demon went on his way, attempting to stop him by the means of a global encirclement with the help of the other Grand Panther Demons, but at this time, Sima Xian lifted the terrifying Gigantic Ball of Light in his hand. To ones astonishment, the Energetic Ball of Light actually let out the orange radiance characterizing equipment of epic tier, which immediately turned purple. Myriads of purple lightning bolts instantly burst out, bombarding the Panther Demons. Even that Golden Panther Demon was unable to make a narrow escape and had to put his all in defending. The speed of lightning made it absolutely unable to escape. Therefore, a Panther Demons speed became a useless specialty. These lightning bolts burst managed to take in over a hundred Panther Demons, which became all scorched, with all their hairs standing straight, and at least having sustained fatal injuries if not yet dead. Immediately, Sima Xian flung his Energetic Ball of Light, but unlike the Energetic Ball of Light of the past, it had now a dark, gold-colored chain on its tail, looking quite thin, about a little fingers width, but reached an astonishing length of ten meters. One could see an intense golden light abruptly rise on the chains above Sima Xians hands. The instant the chains of his Gigantic Ball of Light reached their peak, they immediately came to a sudden stop in midair. Then, myriads of white glows burst forth from the Gigantic Ball of Light. The white glows immediately hit the Panther Demons with strikes of lightning and thunder, turning them into ashes and leaving only a magic crystal on the ground. Even that Golden Panther Demon fell, having turned pitch-ck as its body twitched without pause. With a lift of Sima Xians right hand, the Gigantic Ball of Light arose abruptly. As itnded, circles of white htions surrounded that Golden Panther Demon of the eighth step, rendering him totally unable to escape the expertise of the Gigantic Ball of Light, Crush, Smash and Triple st. In a horrifying boom, the Golden Panther Demon was directly squashed into paste. Chapter 611 - Besieging the Panther Demon God (II)

Chapter 611: Besieging the Panther Demon God (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # His series of attacks left actually totally emptied his side of Panther Demons. In fact, the Grand Panther Demons that had rushed into the hall totalled only five or six hundred, forming the entirety of the Panther Demons elites. The nine Golden Panther Demons at their lead were the most tyrannical ones of the whole Panther Demon n, but in a few instants, over two hundred Grand Panther Demons and four Golden Panther Demons, which is close to half of them, just perished. Sima Xians terrifying area of effects rapidly overtook the others in the ughtering count. Even Long Haochens prowess was masked behind his. Lin Xin and Chen Yinger looked at each other, filled with dumbstruck feelings. _Just when did Sima get that strong? Wasnt his spiritual energy the weakest of all of us?_ But that terrifying tyrannical power just now left them in shock; even a Panther Demon of the eighth step was unable to withstand a single blow from him. How did our baldie became so awesome? Chen Yinger asked in shock. Lin Xin twitched the corners of his mouth. He was really believing himself to have made extremely rapid progress in these two years, but from the looks of it, all of them made simr gigantic progress! Chen Yinger was so, and Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan were also so. This guy seems unafraid of the bacsh of the Godly Purple Thunder Spiritual Stove. What he has just used should be an advanced ability of the spiritual stove. And that Gigantic Ball of Light, when did it turn out to reach the Epic Tier? His fearlessness toward the Godly Purple Thunder Spiritual Stove should be rted to that gold color. Howe his equipment improved so dramatically? When did the Priest Temple be so rich and overbearing? Careful Sima! In the midst of the enemies ranks, Long Haochen shouted suddenly. Right at this instant, a dark red figure appeared in the battlefield without warning, heading for Sima Xian. A dark red brilliance seemed to arise, turning into a panthers shape aiming a strike on Sima Xians chest. From hearing Long Haochens warning, Sima Xian understood that this was the sudden attack of an enemy surely far above himself in strength, and able to threaten his life. Otherwise, Long Haochen wouldnt say that. In fact, Long Haochen had been closely following this enemys presence all this time, nning to attract his attention with his disy of strength. But who would have expected Sima Xians destructivity to even exceed his, altering the enemys target and catching Long Haochen unprepared. Sima Xians eyes suddenly lit up as he lifted the Gigantic Ball of Light, cing it in front of his own chest. A fantastic scene appeared, as a sort of eye opened on it, forming arge arc of purple lightning exploding loudly. _Badam._ A terrifying explosion shook the whole Panther Demon Pce, forming a great expanse of dust. The dark red panther figure achieved mutual destruction with the purple lightning and came to a sudden stop before evening into contact with Sima Xians Gigantic Ball of Light. However, Sima Xian also became pale. Without leaving the time to the dark red figure tounch another attack, a white glow wrapped around Sima Xians waist, pulling him back. In the meantime, Long Haochens golden figure brazenly stood in front of Sima Xian. Right at this instant, of Haoyues six heads, Little Blue and Little Purple were done chanting. Rings of ice wereunched in session, aiming at the surrounding Panther Demons while causing the nearby temperature to plummet abruptly. In a dense area, all Panther Demons were frozen. The Golden Panther Demons of the eighth step with greater cultivations were still better off than the Grand Panther Demons who turned into arge amount of ice sculptures, unable to struggle free for a little white. Immediately afterwards, countless purplish-green poisonous spheres wereunched to all directions. These spheres only reached the size of eyes, andnded onto each ice sculptures, turning them into the same color as the Panther Demons inside were melted in the midst of that purple-green color. Long Haochens previous shout functioned as a summons, and at the same time he appeared in front of Sima Xian, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang rushed from the two sides with Wang Yuanyuaning from the rear. Caiers figure also disappeared in the midst of her invisibility. Long Haochen was now extremely shocked, not because of the enemys sudden surprise attack, but by Sima Xians strength. Long Haochen had clearly sensed the strength of the enemys previous attack, but didnt expect Sima Xian to resist it, not only ending up totally unwounded, but also not even pushed back in the slightest. That was an enemy reaching the ninth step of cultivation! This time, their enemy came to everyones sight; a two meters tall Panther Demon dispersing intense dark red mes. Compared to the other Panther Demons, his build wasnt particrly different, but the dark red mes surrounding his body in a very sticky state as well as his shiny dark red hairs were distinct proofs of his identity. Panther Demon God Auxerre? Long Haochen shouted the question stentorianly. Thats right, that powerful Panther Demon was their chief, the Panther Demon God Auxerre protecting the Yale Province. Although Auxerre was bursting with rage in front of that scene, he didnt lose all control due to anger by the enemys strong surprise attack, right against the Panther Demon Pce. Haoyues entrance in the Panther Demon Pce roused him up from his previous state of cultivation, but his arrival was clearly quitete. Seeing the frantic ughter of Long Haochens group, especially Sima Xiansst disy, he found it far too tyrannical. Therefore, he chose after slight considerations to ambush Sima Xian, getting rid of their most powerful attacker. But he didnt know that Long Haochens group was linked through the Soul Sharing Chains. Even if Sima Xian hadnt resisted his attack like that, to inflict fatal wounds to Sima Xian would be impossible thanks to its sharing. Looking at these young humans, Auxerresplexion became unsightly. He knew that he wouldnt have an easy time. Even his Panther Demon Pce met with destruction. Atop of that, close to half of the Panther Demons elites were ughtered in this short time. This was an unparallelled damage for the Panther Demons. These humans looked quite young, but he just saw personally their tyrannical strength. But this ce was his territory, the Panther Demon Pce! As the Panther Demon God, he couldnt possibly retreat in front of his nsmen. Despicable humans, you will all die today. Auxerres cold voice spread with extreme anger. As he said that, the ws on his back made slight rhythmic movements and the whole Panther Demon Pce started to emit fluctuations of darkness spiritual energy. A dark red pir abruptly surfaced in the pces backyard, and its thick body gradually took shape. This thick demon god pir was decorated with countless Panther Demons engravings, and dark red mes rose violently from it. To deal with this Panther Demon God, Long Haochen couldnt possibly bring him in the Tower of Eternity for assassination like with the Demon God of Deep Vision. Thest time, some strange phenomenon had happened between the demon gods powerful innate ability and the Eternal Melodys transporting ability. But to transport such a powerful demon god without his consent would be basically impossible. How could the counterpart show no struggles? But Long Haochen never imagined to face a situation like the current one, where he felt absolute confidence in vanquishing a demon god in front of him. And that confidence was due to the fact he was not fighting by himself, but had all these powerful teammates at his side. Sima Xians tyrannical offense confirmed to him that in these two years, every one of hisrades had made considerable progress. As a whole, they already had the strength to resist a demon god head on. After the battle against the Dragon Rider Demon God, Long Haochen faintly felt that if they were only facing Asmodeus, the addition of hisrades and his full strength may perhaps match Asmodeus. But because of Asmodeus Demon God Transformation and domain, Long Haochen didnt take the risk, out of fear of following the same road as Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. But now they were facing a demon god in the fifth dozen of the ranking, fifty-seventh ranked demon god Auxerre. He had already resolved himself to take a demon gods life today We are the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, and I am the captain Long Haochen. I am telling you our name so that you can die contentedly. Yinger, go! Long Haochen dered, and let his words be heard by all Panther Demons present since his objective was originally to expose his tracks. Hearing Long Haochens order, Chen Yinger immediately sat cross-legged on Haoyues back and started to chant. She obviously understood what their captain meant: they were to go all out to handle the Panther Demon God, so her mission would be to stop any interference in the battle of Long Haochen and the others. Lin Xins incantation also started. His line of sight was focused onto the Panther Demon God Auxerre, and this time, Haoyue was very settled, coldly watching the surroundings with his sixrge heads. After suffering the joint attack from Little Blue and Little Purple, the Panther Demons elites had already lost seventy percent of their troops, and the rest were not in good condition. Now they were clearly shrinking back in fear, and the outside of the Panther Demon Pce was extremely noisy. Visibly, arge amount of Panther Demons had rushed in, but all were certainly unable topare with the previous Panther Demons elites. _Graa._ The Panther Demon God Auxerre let out a howl of fury, and the dark red mes on him started boiling like a volcanic eruption. As he shot out, Auxerres muscles expanded greatly with the influence of the dark red pir, exceeding three meters in the blink of an eye. His pair of sharp ws grew by over one meter in length as well. Chapter 612 - Besieging the Panther Demon God (III)

Chapter 612: Besieging the Panther Demon God (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # His legs were particrly thick and solid, and the dark red wings on his back vanished, turning into smaller curved wings. His pair of dark red eyes were filled with inexhaustible rage. Long Haochen disyed a cold smile, and a golden figure took shape on his back before spraying a golden glow full of sacred aura andnding on the Panther Demon God Auxerre. After having justpleted Demon God Transformation, Auxerre suddenly became sluggish. Although he didnt sustain any wounds from that white glow, he suddenly felt an imperceptible danger from the unblockable white glow entering into contact with him. After raising his head to give it another look, he found out that he could only see Long Haochen in front of him. That was ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove, from that golden figure which was certainly Yating. The Panther Demon God Auxerre was the Panther Demons Commander, so his strength couldnt exceed a Panther Demons limits, at most hes a reinforced version. From the scene when he attacked, it could be determined that speed was its greatest specialty. After all, what did it mean that his wings unexpectedly shrank after Demon God Transforming? His wings turned into bent wings, which means that it was majorly boosting its speed. Which is to say, after Demon God Transforming, Auxerres speed would really be greatly strengthened. Long Haochens fighting experience was really plentiful, enabling him to determine Auxerres most troublesome aspect immediately. If his speed was left to be used fully, their sides battle formation would certainly be broken through. At that time, the battlefield could only be the Panther Demon Gods one-man-stage. But Long Haochen had his own ways. The Saint Spiritual Stove is really the bane of speed specialized demons. _Even if you can go even faster, your target can only be me, and you cannot attack anyone else. Which means that your speed will only be directed against me, and as long as I dont get killed, you wont be able to deal with any other._ Although Long Haochen was directing the whole pressure at himself, at the same time he weakened the Panther Demon God most effectively. In his left hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was drawn out. In a sh of golden light on his back, the holy aura on Long Haochens body immediately rose hastily as Yating directly fused into him, making his spiritual energy even more pure and raising it enormously. Holding the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in front of him, Long Haochen didnt spare any spiritual energy, pouring it all inside this shield of divine tool grade. He didnt have the slightest thought ofpeting against Auxerre in terms of speed. In front of a speed specialized demon god of the ninth step, choosing topete in their field of dominance was absolutely no wise choice. Whats more, he had no need to do so: all he would need would be to defend unwaveringly, not give the enemy any chance, and no more. The rest would all be left to hisrades. In a state of panic from getting struck by the Saint Spiritual Stove, the Panther Demon God burst out in dark red radiance, and abruptly arrived in front of Long Haochen like a dark red streak of light. Its two massive ws tore through the air with a hiss as they were swept at Long Haochen. Everyone behind him could see that Long Haochens right foot took a slight step back and his whole body traced an arc, while the Divine Snail Shield in his hand dispersed a multi-colored golden light, forming a shield in front of everyone. With a ringing metallic sound, Long Haochen stood motionless in front of the shock. The golden light on him erged greatly, then, Bright Vengeance. Seeing their captains stance, how could hisrades not understand the tactics required for Long Haochen? With no hesitation, everyone at his back emerged andunched attacks all around the Panther Demon Gods. With a violent sh, Long Haochen felt his arms going numb. Secretly, he couldnt help but feel rmed about the brutality and offensive power of the Panther Demon God after its Demon God Transformation, unexpectedly nearing Asmodeus standards. Seeing the massiveness of the boost provided by the demon god pir, Long Haochen was really lucky to be able to challenge the Demon God of Deep Vision in the Tower of Eternity. If Crocell had the demon god pir on his side, Long Haochen would surely be the one to have died. After repelling Long Haochen with his strike, Auxerre was startled as well. As a demon god, he naturally sensed the real level attained by Long Haochens cultivation. Although the equipment on him was really top-notch, that was still no more than a knight of the eighth step. He was obviously confident to not get killed when the gap in cultivation was so wide. Moreover, he was already in the state of Demon God Transformation, giving a qualitative boost to both his internal and external spiritual energy. Even a demon god in the top fifty would not be his opponent if they dont use Demon God Transformation, especially when Auxerres specialization is his attack. His attack was very powerful, but he was facing the Divine Snail Shield born from a Starlight Divine Beast, and one that reached the divine tool rank in Long Haochens hands. It was not because it wouldnt be able to stop Asmodeus attack that Long Haochen didnt use the Divine Snail Shield against him, but because its spiritual energy consumption was just too high, preventing it from being used for too long, which was no good for such a prolonged battle. At that time, he couldnt even afford to use Yatings help to have his spiritual energy boosted, as he had to conserve Yatings force to boost the Aria of the Goddess of Light. But the current situation was absolutely different. Long Haochen was not by himself, having so manyrades on his side. His mission was to stop the Panther Demon Gods attacks, and direct all of them on himself. For that, there was no better choice than the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. The shield of divine tool rank paired with Divine Obstruction would feel, even to someone at his level of demon god, like an unsurpassable barrier as long as Long Haochens spiritual energy wasnt close to exhaustion. Auxerres move was unsessful, but his terrifying power still came to view. The effects of the Saint Spiritual Stove made him unable to target others, but didnt stop him from feeling the massive threat brought by the others. In a shing sidestep, he evaded like a bolt of lightning, and aimed his ws at Long Haochens direction. He knew that as long as this knight died, he would be able to deal with the others. But as the Panther Demon God was making his move, the members from Bright Glimmer of Hope arrived. Two red glintsnded on Auxerre at the same time as his speed went up even further, but came to a sudden stop for a blink of an eye right on the instant heunched hisst attack. These two red glows were from Zhang Fangfang and Han Yus Lock ability. While locking on the Panther Demon God, Han Yu activated his Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings, while Wild Scarletblood in his right hand was swept violently at Auxerre. The Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings was without doubt mostly activated for Long Haochens sake, gathering more spiritual energy to back up his defense. Whether Wild Scarletblood would manage to wound the Panther Demon God was not even a matter he concerned himself about. Zhang Fangfangs attack was very heavy, relying on Lock to gather the spiritual energy in his body on his shield as Shield Strike wasunched. A dense light essence instantly rose, striking the Panther Demon God from the side. Auxerres speed was really something. Despite being under the effects of the two knights Lock ability, its attacks still slipped through to their side. The assault of the two Guardian Knights of the seventh step only affected his speed a bit at most. But this instant, an overflowing bloodlust was directed at Auxerre. That strength was nothing in Auxerres eyes, but the aura of ughter contained in that bloodlust caused him to have uncontrolled chills, as his attacking speed decreased once again further. The terrible weapon of legendary tier Bloodstorm produced a terrifying might while unleashing Bloodcut alongside Bloodsaw Wild Dance. An attack of such arge scale was already impossible for Auxerre to avoid. _Hou._ Auxerre let out a howl, terrifying might ascending in the shape of dark red mes from his body and turning into countless panther skulls bombarding all directions. He thought it well: although he was affected by Long Haochen,unching area attacks would be no issue. This knight aside, how could the other humans resist his full power attacks after blocking the Demon God Transformation? But he had looked down too much on the post-transformation Saint Spiritual Stove. From the time it was initially offered to Long Haochen by his father Xingyu, it had evolved several times. Among the lot were Yatings fusion with the spiritual stove as well as the absorption of the crystal left by the Demon God of Deep Vision. The instant following the appearance of those countless ming skulls, the multidirectional bombardment that was expected didnt happen, as all of it was redirected towards Long Haochen by a mystical attractive force. The current Long Haochen was wrapped under the cover of the multicolored golden Shield Wall since long ago. With the boost of the Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings, the time Long Haochens could use the Divine Snail Shield certainly increased tremendously. Moreover, he had the spiritual energy backup of Yating and the Golden Foundation Armor. Violent shes resounded without pause on the Shield Wall, but it wasnt able to cause the Divine Snail Shield to sway in the slightest. And Auxerres mistake caused him to have to sustain the enemys attacks. Bloodstorms attack was the first toe, simultaneously pairing Bloodcut and Bloodsaw Wild Dance, turning into many wind des cutting on his swelling skin. A gaudy bloodlight burst out from these cuts, causing Auxerre to shout violently despite that after being Demon God Transformed, his bodys resistance was greatly enhanced. After all, he was not a demon god expert in defense! In addition, Bloodstorm was a piece of legendary equipment putting emphasis on offensive power. Immediately, arge bloody cut was left on his back. Chapter 613 - The Strength of Bright Glimmer of Hope (I)

Chapter 613: The Strength of Bright Glimmer of Hope (I)

The cut inflicted by Bloodstorm was going from the right shoulder to the rib, and although it wasnt deep, it was a real wound on his body. Furthermore, after Bloodstorm infected the demon gods body, a mysterious change happened. The original blood red radiance suddenly turned into an orange color. Such a change from the ughter weapon improved the cutting force even further as Bloodstorm struck through Auxerres back. The fierce murderous spirit greatly affected his defense. Wang Yuanyuan also had an expression of pleasant surprise as Auxerre was forced to shift direction, attacking Long Haochens Shield Wall frantically. She couldnt help but nce at her Bloodstorm. She immediately found out with a shock that the trace of orange radiance was spreading over the sawtooth de at frantic speed, as an iparably murderous spirit burst out. To be precise, Bloodstorm was evolving! Originally a de of ughters, it was baptised under the blood of countless enemies in the fire of war. You could leave as is, though unusual, or with just too much blood, Bloodstorm had turned a blood-red color long ago. And now that it became infected again, though now with the blood of a demon god under Demon God Transformation, it finally reached itsst threshold. This killing weapon finally reached a terrifying realm. The Panther Demon God Auxerre tried with great difficulty to keep evading Wang Yuanyuans attacks while attacking Long Haochen, but the imposing shields on his two sides dyed him greatly while he was beaten, due to Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang. However, the Panther Demon God was after all a powerhouse of the ninth step. Despite being hit, he had no issue sending Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang flying. Han Yu, who had the Soul Sharing Chains life sharing, was better off: although he was repelled, his body let out an intense glint and with the recovery from Blessings of Light, only sustained light wounds. Zhang Fangfang was repelled quite a lot farther, but had rtively more cultivation than Han Yu; so although his body curled up to some extent while expelling some blood, his wounds were not too important. Their blocks were for the sake of earning time for another. A massive metallic ball brazenly fell, shrouded with myriads of electric bolts covering Auxerre on the way. Auxerre shouted loudly as the dark red me surrounding him grew further in intensity, neutralizing the purple lightning attacking him, though it didnt dispel any of it, thanks to its absorptive properties. While the purple electric light was neutralized, an immense golden ball of light was carried alongside, chasing after Auxerre. Feeling its immense threat, Auxerre raised his right hand and parried the metallic ball of lights strike. His bulky arms came in contact with the metallic ball of light, immediately causing a terrifying sting force to burst out from that ball. All the others from Bright Dawn of Hope could clearly see Auxerres body turning fully purple colored the next instant. He who was iparably fast unexpectedly came to a stop in midair, while the metallic ball binding him turned amethyst colored, causing rumbling noises while sting Auxerre. Although this was the first time for the others to see such a terrible might from the Energetic Ball of Light, after matching for so many years, they wouldnt let go of such an opportunity. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang were repelled, but the others shouldnt be neglected! Wang Yuanyuan immediately waved the evolved Bloodstorm, and in the meantime, a grey crystal-like splendor shed across the Panther Demon Gods back, revealing the hidden Caier. Caier was grasping an assassins true essence. When facing a true opponent, she didnt make her move as soon as possible, but waited for the time of maximal impact. She was waiting for an opportunity, concealed in the dark while storing power. An assassins power storing was not as obvious of a move, but the following eruption of power was even more terrible. Wang Yuanyuan was not falling behind either. The orange radiance from Bloodstorm disappeared suddenly, and even the surges of blood surrounding her vanished. If one was close enough, he would find out that rippling htions roamed around Bloodstorm. That extreme bloodlust actually took shape, and was applied to Wang Yuanyuans attacks. Just like Long Haochen was not an ordinary powerhouse of the eighth step, hisrades were not ordinary powerhouses of the seventh step. Caiers Sickle of the God of Death was the first to cut into that purple electric light. That electric light couldnt tell people apart, but as if infecting it, Caiers sickle wasnt infected by any of the electric light. First of the seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood. In an ash-colored sh of light, Caiers figure swept past as if nothing happened. And the second hit on the Panther Demon God wasnt by Wang Yuanyuan, but was a strange blue colored me. That me shot in a straight line to pierce through that purple body almost at the same time as Death in Childhoodnded, as the two hits only differed by fractions of a second, but hit different spots. Next, Wang Yuanyuans Bloodstorm was covered in a golden colored de wrapped in orange color. But how could Long Haochen take part in this feat? He was solely focusing on defense. Pam, pam.?In a burst of purple light, Wang Yuanyuan felt a destructive impact spread from Bloodstorm, instantly sending her flying in the aftermath and making her body feel numb, unexpectedly running out of her control. Purple electric light lingered around her waist as well, surprisingly also affecting her. By chance, Zhang Fangfang hastened to catch her from behind. Argh!!!?The Panther Demon God shouted incredibly loudly in fury. Right now, his slippery dark red hairs were all pitch ck, with numerous terrible wounds all over his body. The most fatal one was inflicted by the Sickle of the God of Death, almost ravaging his whole back and going as far as to chop half his neck. On the pit of his stomach was left a small pitch-ck hole, which was also in a scorched ck color. Sima Xian stumbled several times then fell on the butt. Both his Energetic Ball of Light and he lost all their glory, shine, sparkle, luster, radiance. But by chance, Han Yus Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings was still ongoing, so he could rush to his side and support him while helping him recover with the help of his spiritual stove. At this time, the Soul Sharing Chains life force sharings effects came on disy. Although everyone suffered more or less of the effects from the repelling bacsh, the damage was shared jointly. Pam.?Auxerre sank to his knees, without blood leaking from his body, but his massive body shook violently, and was shrinking rapidly. After sustaining heavy damage, he had already be unable to maintain the effects of the Demon God Transformation. Let alone him, even the others from Bright Glimmer of Light didnt expect themselves to be able tounch such a joint attack, all of whichnded on Auxerre altogether. Long Haochen had his transparent does this need to be capitalized sword intent from the Aria of the Goddess of Light, Caier her art of Death in Childhood of the Seven Arts of the God of Death. Wang Yuanyuan had her materialized murderous spirit poured inside Bloodstorm. Lin Xin had Vulcans Finger alongside the Hellfire Needle. The powerful attacks of these four in addition to Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light restrained Auxerre for a short time while bursting out with incredible killing power. Outside of Lin Xin they all now had weapons reaching the epic tier! And even also Lin Xin had the boost from the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stove. Chen Yingers magic was long since terminated. Therge amount of magical beasts along with Haoyues six heads tyrannically suppressed the Panther Demons outside the hall, who were totally unable to assist their god. At this time, none of them could do anything for him. They could only bear it for the time being. But at this time, a terrible aura of destion arose from the Panther Demon God, whose vigor rose sharply. Dark red mes spiralled around him, spreading frantically to all directions. Be careful its the Demonic Copse Recovery Technique! Long Haochen shouted, and immediately rushed with the Divine Snail Shield lifted. As the captain, he had at the very moment an unshrinkable duty. The Saint Spiritual Stove was stimted with no hesitation, strengthening its attracting effects. Seeing that dark red fire rushing out, Long Haochen knew that it was already impossible to stop Auxerres Great Demonic Copse Technique. The Panther Demon God was, after all, different from the Devil Snake God. Andromalius was only at the peak of the eighth step and had yet to reach the ninth. But the Panther Demon God was a thorough powerhouse of the ninth step. The instant the Great Demonic Copse was activated, one could see a dark red radiance shot up behind, piercing through the hall to pour inside him. That was the amplification from the demon god pir, the demon god pir from a demon god of a ninth step, with a whole world of difference from those demon gods among thest twelve of the ranking. For the same reason, the fact Long Haochen managed to defeat the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell was greatly rted to the fact thetter didnt have his demon god pir on his side. The more powerful the demon god, the greater uses their demon god pir would show. Long Haochen now had a very calm demeanor. Their previous joint attack was already above all expectations, but still didnt manage to thoroughly kill the Panther Demon God though weak in defense. The seventy-two demon gods were just such a powerful thing. If two demon gods were present here, they would surely lose todays battle. Even now, resisting the Panther Demon God Auxerre on the doors of death was no easy thing. At least, escaping unscathed would be a hard matter. For this reason, Long Haochen rushed forward recklessly, to earn some time for hisrades to break away from him. Even if the Great Demonic Copse Technique was a powerful thing, thats thest resort of a demon god,busting his own life. So, given Auxerres current body condition, he would almost certainly die after the use of this technique. Chapter 614 - The Strength of Bright Glimmer of Hope (II)

Chapter 614: The Strength of Bright Glimmer of Hope (II)

Trantor: GravityTales From their first battle against a demon god to now, Long Haochen and the others had yet to face a demon gods Demonic Copse. So they didnt know to what extent its amplification reached. But since that was a demon godsst resort, using his life as fuel, it would certainly not be an easy thing to resist. Therefore, Long Haochen waspletely certain about Auxerres thoughts. Apart from using Demonic Copse to inflict very heavy damage to their side, his other goal was to make sure that his Demon God Crown would be able to escape, so that at least his god position wouldnt be lost. Understanding that he had made a mistake, Long Haochen felt some regret. First because he hadnt taken hisrades enough in ount, and because he was too self-confident, and didnt prepare enough room for maneuvering. If beforehand they had secured a way out beforeunching this battle, they could all just gather and teleport through the Eternal Melody, ande back after the formidable power of Demonic Copse terminated. There would be no need to bear the Panther Demon Godsst attack. As for the escape of his Demon God Crown, just let it go. With Haoyue here to destroy his demon god pir, what use could that Demon God Crown have? But it was already toote to regret now. Everyone was scattered, especially Chen Yinger and Lin Xin who were both considerably too far, so there was absolutely no way to immediately teleport everyone here away. So no matter what, all he had left to do was to block Auxerresst attack with all his strength. _Raaah!!!_ Shouting in wild rage, the heavily wounded Panther Demon God transformed. A dark red vortex spiralled all around him at an astonishing speed, and from his original human shape, he grew to exceed five meters, turning into a fully dark red gigantic panther, flourishing with might and bing far more terrifying than the time of his Demon God Transformation. Long Haochen grasped the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, that divine grade tool, in his hand. A great part of his spiritual energy was already depleted, so how could he respond against such a Panther Demon God? He faintly grasped the true meaning of Demonic Cpse. It was to renounce the physical body, and release the original demon might, igniting the source of his power. This wasnt anything easy to deal with. As Long Haochen was preparing himself to face the post-Demonic-Copse Panther Demon God, an enraged roar suddenly sounded out from behind him. Immediately, Long Haochens whole body was covered in dense purple intent, and the Golden Foundation Armor on him gained ayer of purplish gold. That purple htioning from behind not only envelopped Long Haochen, but also the massive Panther Demon God. Immediately, an eerie scene followed. The dark red me igniting Auxerres body immediately stopped stiffly, as if water turning into ice, thoroughly stopping its burning. This change was really bizarre, causing Long Haochen to stare nkly at the Panther Demon Gods body losing all that burst of might, finally dissipating all at once. A dark red Demon God Crown losing its head out of fear then looked for an escape, but upon being wrapped by the purple htion, it immediately lost all power, and fell to the ground with a tinkling sound. Everyone in the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope became dumbstruck. What was that magic trick? In just a sh, the previously too domineering Panther Demon God just crumbled. They all looked at the emitter of that purple htion. Haoyues six heads stood high as the six pair of eyes on his six heads which had all turned purple looked proudly at the group from above. Little mes mouth agape, that Demon God Crown immediately entered his mouth, and was swallowedpletely. Wang Yuanyuan murmured, Now I really understand why the Demon God Emperor started a Holy War for Boss sake. Haoyue really is the demons nemesis! He can even extinguish the demon gods Demonic Copse Technique! Long Haochen was also shocked. Of course, he knew that Haoyue had very restrictive abilities to use against demons, but he didnt expect him to be able to restrict them to such an extent. But as the captain, he couldnt stay captivated in this ce. All return to Haoyues back! They were valiant, but were after all only a group of eight. Over ten thousand panther demons were standing outside, enough to dy them indefinitely. So staying there would obviously put them through a harsh time. As Long Haochen spoke so, he immediately joined Sima Xians side, carrying him by grabbing his armor, and returned to Haoyues back in a sh. The others followed sessively. At the current time, a fantastic scene appeared around Haoyues body. Eighteen Creature Summoning Gates were twinkling and eighteen magical beasts wereing out at every twinkle, fighting at close quarters against the Panther Demons. This hall was vast, but seemed narrow with such battles underway. No Panther Demons were capable of stopping their way, especially when their Demon God Auxerre had just been killed in front of their eyes, greatly hitting their morale. All were kept outside the hall by the magical beasts, ordered by Chen Yinger to guard all the exits. At the current time, she was still holding in her arms McDull, her final ace. Haoyue, lets go look for the demon god pir. When theirstpanion reached Haoyues back, Long Haochen immediately shouted for Haoyue to make the next move. His six heads brimming with smiles, he zealously began rushing forward. Little Light, Little me, Little Green, Little Blue, Little Purple and Little Yellow allunched magic bombardments, forcibly creating a passage in this hall to bring Long Haochens group to the courtyard behind the Panther Demon Pce. Long Haochen didnt have any apprehension in demon territory. They were nning not only to kill demon gods, but moreover to shake the demons foundations. With every demon god pir less, the demons roots will be shaken. And if one day they can erase all demon god pirs, the demons would perhaps be no more. Thinking so far, the whole group was brimming with great excitement. A Panther Demon God was nothing but the start. Charging their way violently on Haoyues back, they smashed their way through the hall. The Panther Demons were all charging from the various entrances, but in contrast none of them were present on the rear. It was as if Haoyue could sense the specific position of the demon god pir, which led him to the courtyard after breaching through several walls. At this time, two yellow lightning bolts came from both sides, heading straight for Haoyue. Long Haochen, who had maintained himself at high attention all this time, didnt need to use his eyes to determine who these two enemies were. Thanks to his mental probing, he was able to sense the strength of their spiritual energy. These were without doubts two Golden Panther Demons. Without need for Long Haochen to intervene, the two Guardian Knights behind him rushed forward. Han Yu took on the Golden Panther Demon of the left; his speed was visibly no match, but as a knight, he had a mount of his own aspanion! Except that this one couldnt be mounted... Twisting waves spread out, violently ramming against that Golden Panther Demons body. Immediately, the very rapid demon froze, seemingly slowing down and even bing stiff. Han Yu grasped Wild Scarletblood in his hand, and immediately, a golden streak of light spread out from his sword. The odd thing was that after it was released, it urately enveloped the Golden Panther Demon. One could clearly see the aura of darkness on the Golden Panther Demon dull down. That was? Elemental Obstructing Halo. Han Yu actuallypressed this halos area of effect, yet strengthened its effects. Long Haochen was not the only genius in the lot: everyone from Bright Glimmer of Light was so! A tyrannical surge of twisting waves was shot violently, seizing the opportunity to strike that Golden Panther Demon violently, from the Demonic Eye Commanders hands. In this battle, he had yet to be called out by Han Yu, just so he could suddenly make this big move. Han Yu pped the spiritual wings on his back, and Wild Scarletblood went after that Golden Panther Demon to behead it. At his cultivation and with the help of the Demonic Eye, handling a Golden Panther Demon was no trouble, especially when holding the initiative. On the other side rushed out Zhang Fangfang, his whole body blossoming in golden color. His equipment was far from the quality of the rest of the team, but his experience was more extensive than anyone else. As the captain of a Demon Hunt Squad who progressed to the seventh step with them, how could he becking in ability? Just like Wang Yuanyuan, his cultivation reached the fifth rank of the seventh step. Only, his total of spiritual energy was just a bit inferior to her. That was because he always focused on stopping the enemies for Wang Yuanyuan in battle, letting her have more opportunities for sparks of understandings in the midst of ughters. But this didnt mean that his insight was inferior. Ever since joining Bright Glimmer of Hope, Zhang Fangfang frequently received some guidances from Long Haochen, making his cultivation progress ofte very fast. While throwing himself at the enemy, a golden light lit up underneath him, and a six-legged flying horse elevated himself, bearing his weight. From that six-legged horse came out a shining me light bursting like the sun. Zhang Fangfang grasped the heavy sword in his right hand forward, as his right arm instantly turned into a transparent brilliant golden color. Brilliant Body. Light and me were blending in the sky, turning into a massive fire de aiming to strike that Golden Panther Demon. In the meantime, Zhang Fangfang put some remaining strength into a Shield Strike in his other hand, covering the defense of Haoyus side wings. As expected from a powerhouse of the eighth step, the Golden Panther Demon released its own fire de, then its body let out queer twists and immediately shifted directions, to go after Haoyue while bombarding Zhang Fangfangs Shield Wall with its pair of sharp ws. Chapter 615 - Bright Glimmer of Hope’s Strength (III)

Chapter 615: Bright Glimmer of Hopes Strength (III)

Seventh step versus eighth step, thats a gap that can almost not be resisted without an absolute suppression in the equipment. Just like that, Shield Wall copsed, but still managed to stop the Golden Panther Demon. Just as this Golden Panther Demon was prepared to continue his attack, it suddenly felt a feeling of heat, and unconsciously drew back. Then came to his sight innumerable golden mes surging from all directions and enveloping his body from all around. These gold red mes were transformed from the fire de projected earlier by Zhang Fangfang. This was his self-created ability, Sacred Fire Cage! Zhang Fangfangs mount also had the fire attribute, and although he was also able to use holy fire, this required some time of preparation. Instead, he could dissolve his mounts fire into his holy attribute, but this certainly required his match with his mount to reach a frightening level as well as a tremendous control. The caged golden panther let out a miserable cry. That formidablebination of light and fire element felt extremely burning and corrosive to him. Zhang Fangfang lifted the heavy sword in his right arm, then a thin red light shed from his body,unching Spiritual Spark. Immediately, a pure and holy white light was shot from the tip of that heavy sword, fiercely thrusting at the Golden Panther Demon restricted by the Sacred Fire Cage. With a loud sound, the Golden Panther Demon bounced back to his original ground, still facing gold red fire, causing him to shake violently. Light of Trial! A single-targeted offensive spell of the eighth step learnt by both Guardian and Retribution Knights. The offensive power of Light of Trial wasnt considered really brutal, or at least not among light elemental spells of the eighth step. But it had extreme purifying effects. In other words, it would show an extremely severe might against opponents of darkness element, but would be extremelycking against opponents of other attributes. The instant he used Spiritual Spark, Zhang Fangfang also used the ability Light of Trial, exceeding his step. In the meantime, another figure came out from his shadow. If one paid careful attention from the start of the battle, he would notice that this identically shaped figure had been riding the six-legged horse since long ago. Its just that because it stuck close to Zhang Fangfangs back all this time, that Golden Panther Demon was unable to see it. Light of Trial was an ability of the eighth step, which Zhang Fangfang was surely unable to release instantly even when relying on Spiritual Spark. The chant waspleted by this figure behind him, the other him from the unrivalled Spiritual Stove of Second Life. The version of him from the Spiritual Stove of Second Life didnt have any equipment on him, but had eighty percent of Zhang Fangfangs strength, but was originally unable to incant. But while going through many years of fierce battles, Zhang Fangfangpleted the first evolution of his spiritual stove, so it had now ny percent of his strength, and was able to join the spiritual energies of the two of them through Spiritual Spark, temporarily raising his cultivation to the peak of the seventh step. With the instantaneous burst of power from Spiritual Spark, Light of Trial became useable. More importantly, the Sacred Fire Cage sustaining Light of Trial sustained a great change, giving rise to Sacred Fire Trial. Sacred Fire Trial was also a knight ability of the eighth step, but one used by Retribution Knights, a top tier existence amongst all long-distance, single-target offensive Retribution Knight abilities. The whole course of the battle was very short, but Long Haochen, the most powerful knight on stage, couldnt help but show shock upon watching that scene. Zhang Fangfangs series of attacks was only describable as breathtaking. It looked simple, but was actually a perfect fusion of wisdom and strength. To be able to unleash at the fifth or sixth rank of the seventh step an ability of Sacred Fire Trial even a Saint Knight wouldnt necessarily be able to use, hisprehension of knight abilities surely reached a phenomenal level. Surely, Zhang Fangfang and Long Haochen were taking different paths. Long Haochen was focusing on improving himself, his own abilities. But Zhang Fangfang focused on hisprehension of the knight abilities, making on his own new ways to unleash his strength. The six-legged flying horse dashed grantly while carrying the two Zhang Fangfangs, heading for the Golden Panther Demon. To him, the Golden Panther Demon restricted by Sacred Fire Trial was already by no means an opponent. Without doubts, Zhang Fangfang was using all his strength to take the advantage against a demon of the eighth step in such a short time. As Bright Glimmer of Hope also had others, he should originally have had no need to try so hard, but he had to prove himself, prove his use to this team. Although he had that kind of rtionship with Wang Yuanyuan, how could he remain in such a team just for skirt-chasing purposes? He wanted to prove to everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope that he had the strength to remain in this team. In these two years of Holy War, his progress was not excessive, but that didnt mean he had no potential. Especiallytely, he had umted good preparedness and raised his strength tremendously. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang separately took the two Golden Panther Demons, so there wasnt anything to stop Haoyues advance. When he once again broke into another huge hall, a tall and straight demon god pir came into the groups sight. , The demon god pirs structure was notnky at all, its height reaching ten or so meters, still far from reaching the peak of this hall. But in its middle, the cross-section was over three meters, and its radiance was quite darkened, although one could still faintly see the shape of a panther forming from inside it. We are depending on you Haoyue. Long Haochen carried the group to jump down from Haoyues back one after another, and without need for an order of his, each person of the group guarded an entrance on his own. Seeing this demon god pir, Haoyue was immediately moved! Indescribable feelings rose from him, formed of excitement, sad pain, but most of all a great rancor. The sixrge heads roared, and as if Haoyues body was fully ignited, his purple crystal colored scales unleashed a dazzling amethyst colored radiance, and purple intent blossomed at once. Although this purple radiance was not aimed at the group, apart from Long Haochen the rest all felt chills, and couldnt help but resist with the use of their spiritual energy. Maybe due to sensing Haoyues aura, this fifty-seventh demon god pir abruptly lit up, and its dense dark red radiance spread out like a ring of light. Standing on Haoyues side, Long Haochen felt as if the demon god pir was alive. A tyrannical and awe-inspiring might instantly rose sharply. And in the midst of this terrible might, a faint presence could be sensed, as if alive. Wasnt that just terrifying? That dark red ring dispersed upon contact with Haoyues purple htion. This time, the eyes on Haoyues six heads changed into a transparent purple color, vigorously pushing his two forelegs to the ground. A deep, continuous roar then came out from Haoyues mouth. Another demon god pr came in front of him! As Haoyues fury was prolonged, an inexhaustible rage was filling him. At some point Long Haochens eyes turned purple, and on his forehead, nine purple symbols slowly took shape. On the surface of his Golden Foundation armored body came out a purplish golden gloss. As Haoyues cry of rage kept extending, Long Haochen felt with astonishment some surges of power. The spiritual energy in him kept burning, to the extent that even the Golden Foundation Armor on him started to turn a purplish golden color under the scattering of his spiritual energy. What a powerful aura! Haoyue really had a qualitative change after gaining his sixth head! Thats far from as simple as an improvement from the seventh to the eighth step! A cultivation at the premises of the eighth step? No, this was absolutely impossible. The power lying in Haoyues blood was just too terrifying. Precisely because a part of Haoyues blood was dormant in him, Long Haochens senses were distinct. In those days, he had his blood alter Haoyues attribute, then after surviving, Haoyue repaid Long Haochen with his blood. And thats how the two of them built such a familiar rtionship while establishing a blood contract. Long Haochens progress boosted Haoyues cultivation, and conversely, every time Haoyue evolved, Long Haochen also gained enormous benefits. Last time, when they destroyed Andromalius demon god pir, Haoyue was still only at his five heads cultivation, and the situation differed from now. But without a doubt, this time Haoyue was already far more powerful. The purple htion became more and more flourishing, suddenlypressing the Panther Demon Gods pir at great speed. That terrifying presence became more and more tant, then soared to the sky. Long Haochen then had a surge of thought. Could this Panther Demon Gods pir be trying to send a rescue signal to the other demon god pirs? Right at this time, a thought was transmitted from Haoyue to him. What? Want me to intervene? Long Haochen looked at Haoyue, filled with surprise. Haoyues six heads looked at him simultaneously, his twelve eyes having a deep look while nodding to him. Yes. Long Haochen understood that Haoyue definitely had his own reasons, and his figure shed, as the four wings on his back spread out. Right at this time, Haoyues six heads shed in bright light simultaneously. Opening his mouths wide, he spat out deep breaths of purple rays, pouring it inside Long Haochens body from behind him. Long Haochens whole body chilled. He suddenly felt a change, as if he had stopped being human. An hard to describe dignity rose in him, and this instant, Long Haochen felt his stream of thoughts rise by hundredfolds. In his consciousness, he felt as if returning to Haoyues world of ck and red. His thoughts and sight joined up, filled up with feelings of disdain. With an aloof feeling, he felt able to destroy anything in sight with a mere lift of his hand. Chapter 616 - To Slice a demon god pillar

Chapter 616: To Slice a demon god pir

Trantor: GravityTales # This instant, Long Haochen came to understand what that purple color was. That was a destructive entity! If his light element could be called the purest of the whole Shengmo Dalu, this destructive powering from Haoyue was among the top of the destructive entities. Destruction. Was that a kind of attribute? Long Haochen didnt understand, but was certain that this destructive force was iparable to any other attribute in his knowledge. Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope looked at Long Haochen, showing different reactions. At the time Haoyues six purple rays illuminated Long Haochens body, his whole body lit with an indescribable purplish golden luster. That might was like a gods manifestation, floating above his believers, a sovereign standing above his subjects. This august majesty contained an iparable pride and force. At that very moment, Long Haochens whole being turned into a purplish gold color, but totally different from the purplish gold color resultant from his previous fusions with Haoyue. This purplish gold color was entirely his, and the same went for both the spiritual energy and spiritual wings. Long Haochen could sense that this pure and terrifying power of destruction was only at its initial stage. But even so, his power seemed to have changed totally, and terrifyingly, this purplish golden color didnt result from a fusion with his light essence, but thetter was just forcefully absorbed. As the one chosen by the Goddess of Light, the Scion of Lights light essence did not show the slightest struggle. Just what level did this power of destruction reach? Perhaps this was not real spiritual energy, but a substantial force, or at least it was not spiritual energy yet. But its existence was undoubtedly shrouded in supreme might. The Demon God Emperors might had some material side, but Long Haochen faintly felt thatpared to this power of destruction, even the Demon God Emperor may not have the advantage. But of course, thats only in case equal portions are matched. The Aria of the Goddess of Light was grasped in both Long Haochens hands, taking this purplish gold in and out. The swords body even let out some light buzzes. Every time Long Haochen used the Aria of the Goddess of Light in battle, he could clearly feel its excitement from carefreely gliding in the battlefield. But at the moment, Long Haochen discovered with awe that the Aria of the Goddess of Light was not buzzing in excitement anymore, but really shivering. The sword rays of purplish gold color didnt belong to the realm of divine tool, but had some special qualities belonging to the category of destruction, totally restraining the demon god pirs special qualities. HaaC Long Haochen shouted loudly, lifting the Aria of the Goddess of Light high above his head. That instant, all the strong purplish golden raysing out from his body, as well as Haoyues purple intent, came to a stop. The next instant, Long Haochen felt his blood boiling, filled with a wonderful feeling of harmony. The terrifying purple intent transformed into an eerie image, looking like his own image, but with totally different eyes. These were extremely cold eyes, a grim look full of charm, and with a boundless arrogance and contempt directed at any other living things. _PamC_ The Aria of the Goddess of Light was shed forward, its de colored in a resplendent purplish gold color, brazenly striking the demon god pir of the Panther Demon God. _PopC._ The sword projection made its way into the demon god pir, until only the handle was left outside. That instant, the illusory image on Long Haochens back disappeared solemnly, as if merging with his body. Long Haochen felt an unprecedented force burst forth from within him, feeling his whole body igniting, and bellowed, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha... The purplish gold color spread rapidly, and the originally dark red colored fifty-seventh demon god pir turned into the same color. The next instant, crackles started to appear from the spot pierced by the Aria of the Goddess of Light before spreading. Haoyues twelve eyes all looked fixedly at Long Haochen, and traces of hope were visible in his eyes. At that very moment, Long Haochen distinctly sensed a fantastic strength flowing into his body through the Aria of the Goddess of Light. The instant this forge merged with his own strength, a feeling of harmony flowed through him. Then the purplish golden radiance on his body also gradually became faintly discernible. _BangC_ The demon god pir copsed, turning into countless purplish golden rays dispersing in all directions, as if it had no more physical substance, as only some terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy were left to be swept through the surroundings. Haoyue let out another howl, shing with purple intent. These remains of spiritual energy left after the destruction of the demon god pir were immediately suppressed, and Long Haochen fell from the sky in the meantime. Haoyue turned his head to the direction of the rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope, letting out a low howl in their direction. In the meantime, Little Lights head was lit in shining gold, wrapping his body around Long Haochen. The rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope didnt dare tarry overlong and hastened to return to Haoyues back. With a roar, he released six spits of breath, bombarding the roof of the hall. His four limbs stepped on the ground and his six immense wings unfolded, bringing the group into the sky. As intrepid as on the way there, he destroyed the roof of the hall on his way to make it through the sky, and howled at the countless furious Panther Demons that were far away. Long Haochen was lying on Haoyues back, looking just as if losing focus, but his right hand was still tightly clenching the Aria of the Goddess of Light. The purplish golden glint on his body was still faintly discernible. Caier hastened to support him with her hand, but Little Light suddenly turned his hand with an exaggerated movement, lightly howling at her. You dont want me to touch him? Caier asked in puzzlement. Little Light nodded to her before turning around, pping the immense pair of wings on his back. His speed increased sharply, as they headed into the distance. Caier naturally understood the feelings between Long Haochen and Haoyue. Since Haoyue had him destroy the demon god pir, he surely had his own purposes, and surely didnt do this to harm Long Haochen. Everyone had experienced countless battles already. Although the previous one was overwhelming in emotions, they all understood clearly the most important present matter for them to do. Sitting on their knees on Haoyues back one after another, they strove to recover spiritual energy, in order to be able to adapt to any change in the situation. Although the demon army was attracted to the frontlines by the Holy War, this was after all the internal part of the demon territory, where they could meet with another demon army at anytime. The purplish golden radiance on Long Haochens body was still glinting all this time, but in practice, he didnt lose consciousness or anything like that. He had just lost some of his control over his body, feeling a fantastic change in his body. But this change was irrelevant to his spiritual energy, as his spiritual energy had already returned to the light attribute after destruction of the demon god pir. _Could it be that my harmonization with Haoyue through blood contract went a level higher?_ Long Haochen thought secretly. He was now rxing his body, letting the harmonization follow its course. However, he didnt understand why this harmonization seemed to be due to his obtainment of some of the demon god pirs power. Haoyues flightsted for a long while, flying to the south the whole time. After two hours passed, he finally, slowly, descended to a valley. Afternding on the ground, Haoyues broad back shook abruptly, and the violent shaking spread to the whole crew on his back. Not even ncing at the Demon Hunt Squad members on his back, Little Light swirled around Long Haochens body and cautiously lowered him to the ground. The sixrge heads were crowding around Long Haochen, but upon looking closely, all six had expressions of concerns leaking out. Just what were they worrying about? In particr, Little Lights state of mind was clearly unsteady, whimpering lightly all this time. Time passed minute after minute, and after a whole three hours had passed, the purplish golden color on Long Haochens body finally subsided, seemingly returning to normal. Because Haoyues six heads were guarding Haochen, the group of Bright Glimmer of Hope was unable to approach, much less know about his condition. The most worried was naturally Caier, who would have rushed in by force if not for the fact she was certain that Haoyue wouldnt do something detrimental to Long Haochen. Mh. Long Haochen let out a light groan, before turning around to sit back up. But his first movement was to look at Haoyue in a daze,pletely full of puzzlement. He was totally ignorant of the changes that happened in his body during these few hours. And at this very moment, he felt back to normal. He was himself, and had his very own spiritual energy, not strengthened but not weakened either. It was as if nothing happened at all. But he unsconsciously understood deeply that something had changed in him. And these changes intimately rted to Haoyue should be good changes. Haoyue, just what am I in the end? Long Haochen asked in puzzlement. Haoyue shook his head lightly. The simultaneous headshake of his six heads looked quiteical, but most of all, the warm and cordial look in his eyes immediately softened Long Haochens heart. All six heads were lowered, gathering together beside Long Haochen and lightly poking him all around. Long Haochen could only stroke the heads one by one. I know that you surely thought for my own good. But why is it that you dont want to tell me just what happened to me? Long Haochen had asked Haoyue multiple times about his origins and ability, but every time Haoyue showed him miserable looks, he didnt dare insist. And now, Little Lights head moved closer, rubbing against Long Haochens body. But this didnt stop Long Haochen from taking notice of the worry in his eyes. Little Light, what are you worried about? Long Haochen asked lightly. Little Light shook his head once again, then suddenly showed a resolute look, shifting his sight to the other five heads before letting out a low howl. All other five heads howled without hesitation, seemingly making a vow. Long Haochen didnt understand his act at all. Little Light was telling something to the other heads, and making them promise something. _Could this be rted to me?_ Now that Long Haochen was totally confused, after obtaining consent from the other heads, Little Light shifted his soft look back onto Long Haochen, transmitting a sh of thoughts. Master, no matter what, we will be protecting you thoroughly. We wont ever betray you. After leaving these words behind, Haoyue turned back into purple light without leaving Long Haochen the time to ask for details, disappearing from his sight, actually teleporting away. _Never betray me?_ _Why would Haoyue ever_ ___betray me? But what did he mean by these words?_ For a moment, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel a great headache: as his strength grows, his Haoyue seemed to be more and more mysterious. Boss, you alright? After Haoyue left, the whole group from Bright Glimmer of Hope immediately gathered to his side, all showing deep concern as they looked at him. Long Haochen showed a faint smile, I am fine. It should be that Haoyue made me assimte some of his power, although he didnt want to tell me the details. But it was surely nothing bad. Hearing him say that, everyone rxed immediately, and the excitement they repressed all this time finally leaked out. Boss, we really managed to get rid of another demon god pir! Do you know how many of the seventy-two demon gods that makes it that we have killed And thats without counting those two demon god pirs we have destroyed. And thats the fifty-seventh demon god! Perhaps we have gained another million contribution points. Just how many contribution points does it make for us in total? Even the normally calm Han Yu couldnt help but hop in excitement. Long Haochen also showed a smile, I dont know how many contribution points we have in total, but I believe that we have a little something to question a certain someone about. Reaching this point, the groups line of sight shifted instantly to a certain bald head, showing puzzlement, but most of all excitement. Hehehehe. Sima Xian smiled in pride, patting the shoulder of Lin Xin standing on his side, Has-drugs-bro, isnt bro has drugs your favorite saying? Now I will have my own one, bro has money! Lin Xin asked in curiosity, Wheres that money even from? Sima Xianughed out loud, I dont have money myself, but I have no qualms living off a woman! My wife is rich! What, your wife? This instant, the whole groups curiosity was roused. Wang Yuanyuan then took out Bloodstorm and dered overbearingly, We must really ask this baldie carefully. During these two years of Holy War we have been going through fire and water on a daily basis, but he not only went to find a wife, but even improved his equipment incredibly. When are you going to own up to the facts? Sima Xianughed mischievously once again, but didnt reply, still provokingly leaving them in suspense. Caier slowly raised the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand, You want to be beaten up or what? _H_ Dont, vice-captain. Ill speak okay? Do you remember about the _little white flower_ back in Holy City? Chapter 617 - An audacious plan (I)

Chapter 617: An audacious n (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Little white flower? No way!? Lin Xin immediately opened his eyes wide. After flinging his long hair to the back of his head, he gave Sima Xian a monstrous look. Not only him, but everyone else looking at Sima Xian became full of shock. They were all aware of the identity of the little white flower Sima Xian brought up. The future sessor of the Alliances Great Auction House, Feng Linger. Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger repeated Lin Xins words almost simultaneously, No way! Just what kind of person was Feng Linger? That was the sessor of the Alliances Great Auction House! At the time she seeds to the Alliances Great Auction House, calling her the richest person in the whole Temple Alliance would be no exaggeration! Although the great auction house and the Alliance were linked in countless ways, even a mere supervisor has a frightening wealth at hand. Moreover, Feng Linger could be rated as a stunning beauty, with traits evoking perfect purity. Who could expect Sima Xian to really seed? Sima Xian showed an air ofcency, What do you call a cant be? This priest is handsome and confident, distinguished and elegant, sensitive, tall and proud. Although I am bald, my heroic martial prowess still attracted my woman, _little white flower._ The two of us are just a heavenly match, a sessful couple. And we just love each other desperately. HAHAHA! Han Yu ced his hand on Lin Xins shoulder, and asked, Dont you think this guy deserves a beating? Lin Xin nodded with extreme seriousness. Not only him, but everyone else other than Long Haochen and Zhang Fangfang started to rub their own fists and be eager to get into action. The smile on Sima Xians face immediately vanished, wrapping his arms around his own bosom, You What are you doing? Wang Yuanyuan shouted, Still not owning up to the facts. So you really want us to force the answer out of you! Dont! Ill confess, okay? Under the groups tyrannical abuse, Sima Xian immediately admitted defeat, and let go of that air ofcency, dering in good honesty, Listen to me, thats how things are. Remember that I returned to the Priest Temple? During the start of the Holy War, only god knew whether there was still a future. Maybe Id die while fighting in the Southern Mountain Pass too. Hence I thought that Id at least confess to her before that! At the time of departure, I sent her just such a letter, before throwing myself into the Holy Wars battlefield. But to my total surprise, after some time, while immersing myself in arduous battles daily, she actually sent me a reply. Although she cursed at me through the whole letter, she urged me to survive no matter what. Therefore, I immediately gained in courage and my strength in battle soared! Who knows how many little demons I killed, and in how many demons blood this Gigantic Ball of Light got soaked. What a delightful experience! The appetion of Discipline Priest is not for show! Get to the main point. Caier raised her Sickle of the God of Death, and showed a threatening face. Sima Xian hastily finished bragging, At that time, I didnt even dare have delusions of _little white flower_ epting me, but that was still a good start! As has-drugs-bro taught me, you can only have a chance if you try. If I hadnt tried in the least, my odds of sess would be zero. Then I wrote another letter, where I spoke about the situation in the mountain pass. From this point on, we started exchanging letters. To be honest, all those days I was fighting off demons on the Southern Mountain Pass, that _little white flower_ was the only one in my heart. This made me treasure my own life all the more. Still, what a strange thing, but even under those circumstances, my strength still grew very fast, and I wasnt in the least affected by the situation of war. This may be because of the ray shining on my heart. As we exhanged letters and kept discussing, I found out that _little white flower_ seemed to have some interest in me. Then I strove harder, and when I came to mention that thing, she unexpectedly didnt refuse, and even spoke abouting to the Southern Mountain Pass to look after me. Hehe. And she really came? Lin Xin asked. Sima Xian replied with greatcency, Of course! And she came several times. Didnt you teach me that picking up girls required one to be bold, careful and thick-skinned. The first time she came, she sneaked on top of the fortress and happened to catch sight of this handsome man killing the enemies with matchless heroism. Hehe, what luck I had that time. Back in the Southern Mountain Pass, a female mage alongside whom I was fighting had some interest in me. After beating back the demon armys offense, she rushed to wipe my sweat off, but thats when little white flower appeared. At this point, he couldnt help but disy some lingering fears, evidently that was a terrifying situation. Or at least extremely awkward. Can you guess how _little white flower_ reacted? Sima Xian asked, full of mystery. Lin Xin replied, Is there even a need to ask? You must have received a huge p, gotten cursed as scum and then she just went away. Puh! Sima Xian replied in disdain, Do you think everyone is as narrow-minded as you? My _little white flower_ is modest and open-minded, full of guts. When I saw her appear suddenly, then take notice of that girl on my side, let alone feeling awkward, at that time I was looking for a hole to dig myself into. Even fighting a duel against a demon god would feel better than the situation of that time. Chen Yinger giggled, Then didnt it turn out as has-drugs-bro said? _H_ _ic_ _!_ __ Sima Xian was somewhat helpless, Stop insisting on that standpoint okay? Just listen to me. In any case, at that time, I was really feeling numb, feeling even worse than when being caught by my teacher after making a mistake. But against my expectations, _little white flower_ actually didnt get angry, but instead, she elegantly approached my side and took out a handkerchief, tenderly wiping off the stains on my face. Then she pulled my hand and said to that mage, Thank you for taking care of my bald man. At that time, I was just standing there foolishly andpletely nk. Just at this time, the demonsunched another assault, and a Demonic Wolf was catapulted right towards us, aiming to chop at _little white flower_. At that time, I didnt give much thought, and hastened to pull her away and take the de with my de. Fuck, that Demonic Wolf was just really ruthless. His de prated through my muscles, giving me a strenuous time pulling it out. I immediately used the Gigantic Ball of Light to beat it to a pulp. Afterwards, _little white flower_ told me that she originally nned on getting angry at me, but seeing me take the blow for her sake, she didnt have any more will to get angry. Theres not much more to tell you afterwards, anyway, my bliss is for real. Han Yu murmured, How could it go that way? Sima just seeded like that? Sima Xians proud expression came off again, How could I be unsessful? Let me tell you, I have nowe to understand thoroughly that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Dont judge my _little white flower_ by her delicate and pretty looks, or because of her looks of a wealthy noble girl. Fundamentally, she is not fond of pretty boys, but likes brave men such as me. Lin Xin pointed the Gigantic Ball of Light, Then, was this thing made thanks to the help of your _little white flower_? Sima Xian showed a smile, Thats a matter of course. How could she not be worried about my safety? Moreover, I couldnt leave from the battlefield. On the first time she looked for me, she had the materials ready, then brought three cksmiths from our Temple Alliance, asking them to reforge my Gigantic Ball of Light. Its name did not change, but this thing gained much greater power than before. Saying this, Sima Xian lifted the Gigantic Ball of Light up, and lifted his right hand. Immediately, the Gigantic Ball of Light flickered in purple electric light once again. The purple light curling up inside was not very distinct, but the swelling fluctuations of spiritual energy were really intense. Sima Xian exined, The current Gigantic Ball of Light is a weapon fully custom-made for me. Arge amount of some alloy I dont know the name of was added to its main part. I dont know its name, I think it was some pure gold type of metal. Except for that, a lot of precious metals were used up to make the main part. And then, we had a conjurers help to erect a magic array inside, using six magical crystals of lightning elemental magical beasts of the tenth rank. _Little white flower_ said that lightning elemental magical crystals are very scarce, that even in the whole Alliances Auction House, there are only this many reaching the tenth rank, all of which were used for me. By now the Gigantic Ball of Light is much stronger than before. The Godly Purple Lightning Cannon, Godly Purple Lightning, Purple Lightning Incarnation were all self-created abilities integrated after its upgrade. Strong right? Long Haochen who was listening calmly all this time remarked, From that, I take it that your Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Lightning should have evolved at least once, and doesnt have an excessive bacsh. That should be rted to the other piece of epic tier equipment on you right? Sima Xian was much more well-behaved in front of Long Haochen, Right, Boss is the most farsighted, to be able to tell out my deepest secret in a single nce. As he said that, he pulled open the upper part of his priests gown, revealing his robust torso. Then came into view a scarlet-red colored light armor, glinting in orange color, visibly a piece of equipment of epic tier. This is the Scarlet Dragon Armor. _Little white flower_ has said that it was made using a genuine Scarlet Dragons abdomen with extraordinary methods. It has an extreme defensive power while greatly weakening all detrimental effects. Although it didnt have any boosting effects attached, it is especially fitting to me. At least eighty percent of the bacsh of that Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder is nullified, so this way, I can use it much more conveniently. And because of my frequency of use, my endurance toward the Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder is increasing unceasingly. Taking the Forest Boa Pills made by has-drugs-bro as well as some thunder-tempering-training raised my external spiritual energy, which should at least be at thirty or forty thousand. Lin Xin stared at these two pieces of equipment of epic tier in Sima Xians possession and murmured, Finding a wealthy wife is really a shortcut to several dozen years of struggles. Chapter 618 - An audacious plan (II)

Chapter 618: An audacious n (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen red at him, What did you just say? Lin Xin corrected himself with haste, following up with a smile on his face, Boss, I was just speaking without thoroughly thinking about it. Take it that you didnt hear anything: you must never repeat those words to Xiner. My ability is acquired relying only on myself, unlike someone who lives off a woman, huhu. Sima Xian proudly dered, Living off a woman is also a skill? How about you? just look at your gigolos appearance. Who would even want you? Wang Yuanyuan unhappily blurted, Stop it with your quarrels. Listen to Boss telling us what is going to follow next. Everyone calmed down, and looked toward Long Haochen. Long Haochen signalled the group to form a circle, then unfolded the map. The Yale Province is there. And since Haoyue has been heading to the south since then, we are roughly there. Long Haochen pointed a spot. Our battle in Yale City will very rapidly reach the Demon God Emperors ears. After all, we have just killed a demon god and destroyed his demon god pir. What we need to do next is to move with the objective of not getting found by the Demon God Emperor. The demon territory is incredibly broad: even at the Demon God Emperors cultivation, as long as we dont make apparent mistakes, he definitely wont have an easy time finding us, just like when looking for a needle in therge sea. Han Yu asked, Then should we keep going like that, or rather stay concealed? Long Haochen visibly had something nned out, and dered, There is a golden opportunity in front of our eyes, but the risk is great. Listen well everyone: the Demon God Emperors appearance in the Exorcist Mountain Pass is obviously due to the Star Demon God Vassagos Great Prophecy. But we have gotten the information beforehand and managed to move a step ahead, thanks to Yue Yes prompt information. As a matter of fact, Yue Ye brought us really urate information, and the Demon God Emperor should need at least one more day before getting to Yale City. Our safety is, for the time being, upromisable. Since Yue Yes information was unmistaken, her other piece of news should very possibly be trustworthy too. Hearing that, Caiers eyes lit up, Are you speaking about the condition of the Star Demon God Vassago after the Great Prophecy Technique? Long Haochen nodded, Indeed. The Great Prophecy Technique is something we have seen before too. When used in battle, it has extremely terrifying effects: that Star Demon nsman we have encountered in the Illusory Shrine should be someone with Vassagos bloodline, very possibly the next Star Demon God. But even such a powerhouse in the Star Demon n just died while using Great Prophecy. This means that alongside its massive power, it has an extreme bacsh. As the demon prophet, Vassago had to predict our future tracks as well as the demons future, expending far more power than the Star Demon of that time. So he very possibly has no more than a third of his original force. The head from our Knight Temple Yang Haohan has told me before that among the seventy-two demon gods, the most dangerous outside the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu is the Star Demon God Vassago. The Demon God Emperor is their leader and emblematic figure, their object of veneration, while the Star Demon God is their brain, no less than a prime minister. And the Moon Demon God Agares is just as much the top general. In degree of importance, hes far from Vassago. Yet the peak of a Star Demon God, Im afraid his spiritual energy reaches the terrifying level of 500,000, something we cant even imagine disposing of. But if he only has a tenth of his strength, and is hidden inside Modu Capital City, we wont necessarily be without a chance. Hearing Long Haochen, the group couldnt help but gasp. Their captain actually nned on attacking the third ranked demon god, Star Demon God Vassago. This was something they wouldnt even dare imagine before. Long Haochen continued, Thats just a suggestion. If we head to Modu, it should be going totally against the Demon God Emperors expectations. He should by no way expect that we dared head to his nest. As for the Star Demon God Vassagos condition, we can take Yue Yes word for a fact. The Star Demon God is surely still very strong, but even so, his powerful abilities will require of him a good enough state of cultivation and body. With our teams current strength as well as Haoyues suppression on demon gods, we should be able to match a fifth of the Star Demon Gods strength with no issue. Which means that, even if Yue Yes report was somewhat exaggerated, we still dont stand no chance. But if we move against the Star Demon God Vassago, the degree of danger will be immense as well. After exposing their fields of dominance, Long Haochen took another point of view. His analysis had to prioritize the possibilities of danger, and mustnt show blind hopes. First of all, Modu Core City is the demons real core location. Which means that in normal times, most of the demons strength is gathered in the core city. All the top demon gods (the Moon Demon God, Star Demon God, Demon God of Death and Hell Demon God) are defending this Modu City. These four demon gods are not present for now, and there is not even any other demon god besides the Star Demon God in Modu, but this doesnt mean there are no forces in the city. Surely everyone must question one point. Since Modu is empty, wont our senior Demon Hunters surrounding it be moving against the capital? I estimate that they shouldnt, for the simple reason that they have no understanding. More importantly, our predecessor Demon Hunters were unaware of the goals the Demon God Emperor and Star Demon God had when departing with arge amount of demons, so how could they do that? The Demon God Emperors threat to the Alliance is just too much: if I am the one bringing a group to deal with him and in case we notice some movements from the Demon God Emperor, Id definitely follow him to make things clear. Then, if he really ns on moving against the Alliance, Id go against him with my life at stake. So the chances that these advanced Demon Hunt Squad move against Modu are not high. In the meantime, although Modu Core City has lost the protection of arge amount of demon gods, the five greatest demon ns are still residing there. Also, the Demon God Emperor has left, but cannot possibly have brought all the demon gods along! Just think, if you were a demon god leaving your nest, wouldnt you at least leave a capable subordinate behind tomand the troops stationed there? So I can say with certainty that the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, Star Demon God, Demon God of Death and Hell Demon God have all left at least a subordinate at the ninth step to keep watch. And very possibly not only one, in particr the Defying Devil Dragons: the Demon God Emperor would at least leave a third of his nsmen there. My safest estimate would be that there are at least twenty powerhouses of the ninth step in Modu Core City. Hearing Long Haochens analysis, Lin Xin couldnt help but show a demoralized face, Boss, in that case, do we even stand a chance? We cant possibly be able to deal with twenty demon powerhouses of the ninth step! Long Haochen showed a faint smile, This is just our best opportunity! Since we dont even believe that we could deal with that, how could the Demon God Emperor expect us to head for Modu Core City? Wouldnt that be akin to walking right into the trap? He surely doesnt expect us to overestimate our abilities like that. But for this very reason, I believe that we must go, and look for a chance to inflict heavy losses on the Star Demon God. Seeing the skeptical looks on hisrades faces, Long Haochen continued, Take the time to think about it everyone. Whats the current state of Modu City? The Holy War is ravaging outside, and most demon powerhouses are away. Although some forces of all five greatest demon races are stationed, they are far less than in Modus normal times. In that situation, it is far easier than in normal times for us to prate in the city. In the meantime, without the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, Demon God of Death and Hell Demon God, and only a very seriously wounded Star Demon God Vassago resting in seclusion, there wont be any mental scouting beyond our resistance. If we suddenly bring havoc in a certain spot in demon territory, even if its the demon capital, they wont be able to gather enough peak demon powerhouses to take care of us in a short time. They will at least require some time: it is not at if there is no line ofmand in the demon ns, but we are not aiming at the Devil Dragons, their rulers. Caier said, I can understand your intention. If we leave for the capital city, it will first go against the Demon God Emperors expectations as, if he definitely doesnt expect us to dare go to Modu, we wont have to worry about the Demon God Emperor. And next, if we move against the Star Demon, we will at most have to face the attacks of the powerhouses the Star Demon n left behind. The other ns wont be able to make it in time. And if it seeds, we can just leave through the Eternal Melody before getting surrounded by the demon powerhouses, even if we have to remain secluded inside the Tower of Eternity for a long time. This way we avoid getting tracked down and wait for an opportunity to leave Modu stealthily. Long Haochen nodded with a smile, Thats basically the idea. Caier remarked, Then there are two issues. First, as the Star Demons have yet to participate in the war and the Star Demon God is heavily wounded, their Star Demon Pce is surely very tightly guarded. Theres no way one of the top three demon ns would be so easy to deal with. At least, at our current level of strength, theres no way we can resist them. In those conditions, how could we deal easily with the Star Demon God. Secondly, since the Star Demon God is in seclusion and very weak, even if we attack the Star Demon Pce, he only has to stay concealed in his seclusion. How can we find him then? After all, we wont have a long time for that. Chapter 619 - An audacious plan (III)

Chapter 619: An audacious n (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen responded, Yes, these are the two issues we will have to confront. Let me tell you my idea. Caier is right regarding the Star Demons power; we cannot possibly proceed the same way as we did with the Panther Demon Pce with our current strength. The Star Demons are iparable with the Panther Demons in terms of strength. But we dont necessarily have to enter by force. We dont even have to focus attention on the Star n. What is the n sharing the greatest rtionship with the Star Demons? Everyone should know about that. Wang Yuanyuan understood rapidly, The Moon n? Boss, are you saying that we should attack the Moon n first in order to create a diversion? Every one of them was intelligent people, which is why the idea went through rapidly. Long Haochen made a thumbs up to Wang Yuanyuan, Thats right, its exactly what I was nning. If we canunch a forbidden spell against the Moon Demon Pce, it will not only be the Star Demons, but all Modus powerhouses will be focused upon the Star Demon Pce. That will be our opportunity. Maybe this chance will be of short duration, but the forces in the Star Demon Pce will surely be at their lowest. This will make a good opportunity for us. And furthermore, after entering Modu, we will contact Yue Ye firsthand, and be able to understand the inner condition of the Star Demon Pce, giving us a good chance to infiltrate. The second issue Caier noticed is the easiest to deal with: I have never spoken of killing the Star Demon God Vassago! Indeed, it is very likely we will not find him, but dont forget, everyone, that we have Haoyue with us. Haoyue may be unable to find a demon god, but finding a demon god pir will be no issue at all. So in my opinion, we should not target Vassago, who surely has a lot of ways to ensure his survival as the number three demon god, and will be extremely hard to kill. Our greatest advantagepared to other Demon Hunt Squads is that we can destroy demon god pirs. Just think, if we can destroy the Star Demon Gods demon god pir or damage it severely, how will that affect him? At this point in Haochens exnation, the eyes of the skeptical group lit sessively. Right, why would they absolutely need to confront the demon gods with force? They just had to target the demon god pir. And ording to Long Haochens n, if they can stealthilye close to the demon god pir and let Haoyue break out, even Vassago himself would very hardly manage to save it. Given Vassagos heavy wounds, even if he appeared in time, he wont have an easy time stopping the group. Long Haochens look was swept at hisrades, These are my thoughts. Now lets debate on that everyone. Please raise any suggestions thate to mind. Although this n feelspleted like that, entering Modu will after all be extremely dangerous. Even with the Eternal Melodys teleportation ability, our safety cannot be fully guaranteed. So we will make an attempt only if everyone unanimously agrees. If only one person opposes, we will take another path: I have a second n, which would be to make an indefinite trip through demon territory, wreaking havoc in demon territory without need to kill a demon god every time, but just to make sufficient inconvenience for them. A pretty good target is the Andros Province. Surely everyone remembers about that province where we previously killed the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius. The Andros Province is certainly the most bustling ce in all demon territory. Because the demons are obtaining most of their resources from the sea, if we can reach there and wreak destruction, the demon will surely sustain extreme damage. Their supplies will have even more difficulties, which will be of considerable benefit to appease the Holy Wars crisis. These two ns taking ce around Andro Province surely have greater feasibility, and are also much safer. The only issue is that as the Andro Province is a lot closer to us, just eastwards from the Yale Province and we would only need to go through one more province, it will make the probability of the Demon God Emperor going after us quite a bit higher. Without a doubt, the most audacious of Long Haochens two ns was the first one: to target the demon prophet, Star Demon God Vassago, and go through perils in Modu Capital City. Simply an astonishing n! After Long Haochen spoke, a short time of silence followed. Their next course of action would rte greatly to their dedication to the Temple Alliance and circumstances. Being careless was a no go! Long Haochen was also considering the feasibility of the two ns. By leaving for the Andro Province the danger was visibly lower: even if the Demon God Emperor had dispatched another demon god to be stationed there, they wouldnt necessarily have no way to deal with him. At least they didnt have to worry about their safety. But if they chose to go for Modu Core City, the variables would be much more numerous; no one could predict the encounters they would make there. If one were topare the potential results, the first one was undoubtedly the best. Although they had already destroyed two demon gods, these were after all lower ranked demon gods, only able to shake their roots without much impact. But the Star Demon God Vassago was not the same. He, the Moon Demon God, and the Demon God Emperor formed the three greatest bigshots. Although they formed a set of five with Saminaga and Marbas, the other twos power and utility was at most reflected in their ns. But Vassago was not the same: as the demon prophet, his utility was immeasurable, acting as the true greatest help of the Demon God Emperor. If they managed to destroy the Star Demon Gods demon god pir, shaking the demons roots, the Demon God Emperor would be pained to no limits. This would be an immense blow for the demons. Although this would make them chased from all sides, this would be the start of the path of the demons destruction under their hands. Long Haochen was internally tormented, unwilling to expose hisrades to an excessive danger, but in the meantime, this was a one in a lifetime chance. How could it put him in a tangle? Boss, let me say two things. The first one to respond was Sima Xian, who didnt have the least of his previous yful look. In these serious times, he really showed a resolute face. Only, his glowing shaven head ruined a bit of this atmosphere. Boss, I find that n eptable. Thats exactly what braving danger for the sake of riches and honor is. Theres no time to lose when an asion shows up. The second proposal you gave is also pretty good, but thats just some avable tasks that we can take at anytime. On the other hand on Modu Capital, good opportunities are really scarce. Maybe we wont ever have such a chance in the future. And furthermore, we have princess Yue Ye as our informer. After entering in Modu, we can just make the whole situation clear before moving. With the Eternal Melody there for teleportation, we can leave the battlefield at anytime too. There will surely be some risks, but as the Demon Hunters we are, is there even a time without risk? Even in Andros Province theres a chance of running into the Demon God Emperor! We exist for the sake of the Alliance, for humankinds fight. Danger is nothing! A man should die in the battlefield, buried in a horse hide. Sima Xians speech was impassioned, and his eyes, filled with violent thirst for battle. Wang Yuanyuan followed and said, I agree with Simas words. A chance is showing in front of our eyes. A path devoid of danger is impossible, but when did we ever fear danger? We have even gone through the Holy War. If we can destroy the Star Demon Gods demon god pir, we will be humankinds heroes. This will also be the starting point of demonkinds destruction, making us deserve the name of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Lin Xin responded, Lets go for it. Since the day I joined our Demon Hunt Squad, I made the resolve to follow you Boss. I will aim wherever you point! In those years, Long Haochen went as far as to abandon choosing Caier for him, even if this had to arise a misunderstanding between Caier and him. This was a matter Lin Xin didnt raise in normal times, but in their hearts, this was a favor he had kept engraved deep in his memories. Caier looked at Haochen softly, and showed a faint smile, Even if ites to the worst, I will just be dying at your side and no more. Long Haochen wrinkled his eyebrows, Dont talk drivel! We will all survive, and see together that day when humankind defeats demonkind. He seemed to be rebuking Caier, but looked at her with an extremely emotional expression. Chen Yinger shrugged her shoulders, showing an indifferent face, I also agree. I really like it the most when its lively. When I was young and grandfather asked me about my greatest desire, I said that I wanted to turn Modu Core City into a home for my summoned beasts. I surely wont give my approval to take such an opportunity. But Boss, you have to promise me that if I die in battle, you will deliver Yang Wenzhao back to the Alliance on my behalf. Now only Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang had yet to dere their position. Long Haochen finally looked at the two of them. Han Yu made a wink, Boss, theres no need to look at me. Are you forgetting that I am your retainer knight? I will go wherever you go! Zhang Fangfang imitated Han Yus intonation, Haochen, theres no need to look at me. Are you forgetting that I am Yuanyuans Guardian Knight? I will go wherever she goes! After he said that, Lin Xin and Sima Xian whistled silently and Wang Yuanyuan turned red, ring fiercely at Zhang Fangfang, who acted as if he saw nothing. Actually, Zhang Fangfang still had apprehensions, but he was, after all, not a genuine member from Bright Glimmer of Hope. Since everyone already made their resolve, how could this outsider spoil all the fun? Moreover Wang Yuanyuan already approved and his words were still sincere. Even though the danger was extreme, he preferred to face it alongside Wang Yuanyuan rather than hear grievous news a short timeter. Long Haochen didnt think hisrades would all so delightedly follow his first proposal full of danger. Taking a deep breath, he responded, In that case, let us make a careful analysis and n out for the worst case scenario and extremely thoroughly. Chapter 620 - Yue Ye’s network (I)

Chapter 620: Yue Yeswork (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Modu Core City; Moon Demon Pce. Yue Ye slowly opened her eyes, letting out a light sigh. As the spiritual energy in her body circted, her whole body let out a dark purple ring of light. As a character with both human and demon blood, she enjoyed a lot of exceptional advantages. Her body and way of thinking was more inclined towards the human side, while she was blessed with the cultivation talents and attributes of a Moon Demon. Ever since AhBao disregarded her safety for the sake of killing Long Haochen, she had been calmly staying in the Moon Demon Pce after returning to Modu, only controlling the Yue Ye Merchant Group remotely. These two years, her frame of mind had gained a lot in serenitypared to the past years, and her cultivation grew at an extreme speed as well. Although the abilities she was born with werent as overwhelming as the great majority of other demons, her human physique gave her future growth potential far above ordinary Moon Demons. The Moon Demon God liked this daughter the most, and not just because of Yue Yes beauty, but also because of her exceedingly high intelligence. The overwhelming majority of the Moon Demons couldntpare with her in this aspect. For example, although she had the Moon Demon Gods support, step-by-step Yue Ye was able to establish such arge association of merchants from the age of fifteen, already showing her extremely brilliant innate skills. The dark purple htion disappearing slowly, Yue Yes back lit up once again, with a quarter moons shape, shing three times before disappearing. Being favored by nature as a Moon Demon, and cultivating in this ce second only to the Demon Emperor pce to the darkness attribute users, Yue Yes cultivation finally broke through the eighth step after two days of steady cultivation. Speaking of which, she felt thankful towards Long Haochen. Precisely because of her anxiety due to him, the spiritual energy in her resonated exceptionally. Boldly taking this opportunity, she broke through the seventh steps bottleneck, entering the eighth step. Compared to ordinary Moon Demons, her innate talents towards various aspects were much more outstanding. At the same eighth step, she was confident in defeating any of these nsmen of simr cultivation as her. Finally, the fluctuations vanishedpletely, and Yue Yes eyes returned slowly to a dim purple color. Her eyes revealed an expression of secret reluctance, as she let out a light sigh and thought aloud, He should have already escaped by now. Based on the news from the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he received my information immediately after arriving in the mountain pass. At that time, His Majesty was still over two days away from there; with such a long time to adjust, he should have already left. Fathers attitude toward me is quite strange, as if he already has some suspicions. Now should be myst time helping you. Long Haochen, youre on your own now. I hope that we wont have to cross paths again in the future. Although she was still unable to forget the scene of Long Haochen resisting the Demon Hunter Removers attacks on Caiers behalf, she had finally cut off some of her feelings in those two calm years. As the intelligent person she was, why would she keep reflecting on a matter she knew to be impossible? She already had some new goals now. Be it a human or a demon, everyone needed a goal, else they would otherwise live aimlessly. This was especially the case for an intelligent person such as Yue Ye. She needed to shift to another object of interest in an attempt to move on, which is exactly what she did. Floating, Yue Ye exited from the secluded room. Outside was a small garden, full of a specific nt, around a rock in the midst of the alley leading to the garden. That was a small flower of dim yellow color, not considered extremely beautiful, but seeming noble and proud. It had no leaf and let out a rich fragrance, but with some coldness mixed in its perfume. Yue Ye felt close to this Moonlight Flower. She actually didnt know so far what the most important thing in her eyes was. Some time before, when she felt extremely exhausted due to the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce and extremely thirsty for experiencing a love story of her own, at that time Long Haochen appeared. That was the time of their first encounter. When her merchant group got attacked jointly by demon armies and Yue Ye was wanting to give up, he came and saved her from the desperate crisis, leading them to rush out from the siege. Starting from that time, Long Haochen had already left a deep impression on her. In Yue Yes heart, her loved one could only be a human and not a demon. So, in actuality, she didnt love AhBao. Long Haochen with his heroism, bravery and chivalrous character attracted her deeply. So from then on, she felt a strong interest for this knight who was much younger than herself. Afterwards, this interest came to grow with their repeated encounters. And when she came to see Long Haochen risk his life for Caiers sake while AhBao did not spare her from being sacrificed, Yue Ye felt great pain, but also a strong thirst that came along. _How would things be if that man was willing to do that much for my sake?_ These feelings disturbed her for a very, very long time. And then, a long time after the start of the Holy War, she came to realize that the two of them were from two different worlds, and were therefore an impossible thing. Maybe she could strive a bit harder if he did not have such a lover, but now that was just impossible. Yue Ye had even once had the thought of taking the path of subjugation. What if one day she could be a powerhouse of the present age, go kill Caier, and forcefully subdue Long Haochen? That was the next solution she came up with. So she gradually buried her thirst for a love story, but never came to regret falling for Long Haochen. Although these errors came to nothing, this at least created a thing in which to invest her efforts and energy. _The man I, Yue Ye, fell for is just that outstanding; no one else canpare with him._ She was already putting all her efforts somewhere else, and for that, her top priority was to raise her cultivation. A rich fragrance of flowers escorted Yue Ye as she slowly left the courtyard. At this time, she felt the same as a queen, and now, she had her own goal. After she left the courtyard, Yue Yes expression was already back to normal: calm, warm, with the looks of a remarkably beautiful frail princess. Your Highness, your dinner is ready, a maid came to her side and said. Yue Ye gave the instruction to allow no one to enter the courtyard, but was never demanding. All she needed were three meals a day, only to better back her cultivation. As the princess of the Moon n, she originally lived a pleasurable life. Yeah. As she was prepared to take her meal, her look wavered slightly, looking at the direction of the entrance. Although she was a princess, her living quarters werent veryrge, and at her cultivation level, she had a very strong awareness of the surroundings. As expected, another maid came rapidly, Highness, a viscount hase looking for you, presenting your tile. _A viscount?_ The maid was without a doubt speaking about a viscount from the Moon n. Yue Yes unwavering stance suddenly broke, and a look of astonishment came to her face. _It cant be him?_ Please let him in. Doing her utmost to calm herself down, Yue Ye suddenly realized that her hand was shaking severely. She didnt even know herself whether she hoped her guess to be correct or not. A short timeter, a person in a deep purple cloak came in under a maids lead. The cloak was hiding his whole body, but he visibly had a mans figure. Slightly lowering his head, he made it impossible to see his facial appearance clearly. An indescribable sense of familiarity arose inside her. Although she couldnt see his looks, Yue Ye narrowly cried out in rm, unconsciously stepping back and arousing looks of vignce on the maids faces. That person raised his head, and lifted the upper part of his cloak, Long time no see, Your Highness. With his handsome and wless looks, and the golden hair neatly draped over his shoulder, if there could be said to be only one w to that appearance, that would be the eyes. That pair of purple eyes specific to Moon Demons seemed to create a slight disharmony in that face of perfect handsomeness. Is that really you Why did you juste? Although Yue Ye had guessed that it could possibly be him, she was still filled with unbelief when she really saw him face to face. Indescribable feelings surged in her as she turnedpletely pale. Long Haochen looked at Yue Ye with a smile. After over two years of separation, this princess Yue Ye had grown even more beautiful, appearing even more noble, and seemed to have a new charm she didnt have before. Her pair of purple eyes were filled with shock. So? Am I unwee? Yue Ye was, after all, Yue Ye. After a short time of shock, she immediately came back to her senses, restraining her shock and waving her hand, You may leave. The maids left with doubtful expressions, and only Long Haochen and Yue Ye were left in this hall. Come with me. Yue Ye rapidly stepped forward, taking Long Haochen back to the courtyard. Her heartbeat was still rising higher, and deep inside her, an indescribable feeling of excitement arose. Maybe this encounter was just that thrilling. Very rapidly, she brought Long Haochen back to her secluded cultivation room, pulling him into her room before shutting the door. Leaning against its door, Yue Ye gazed at Long Haochen with a look of unbelief. How could that be you? Just why did you daree here? Yue Ye was unable to keep down the feelings of shock in herself, shaking quite a lot as she spoke. Chapter 621 - Yue Ye’s network (II)

Chapter 621: Yue Yeswork (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Actually she was a very calm and steady, wise and farsighted girl, but at this instant, she really couldnt control her repressed feelings. Long Haochen actually appearing so overtly in front of her was just such an inconceivable thing! Even if he was now very close, she still felt as if in a dream. Long Haochen showed a calm smile, Why wouldnt I daree? So what if the core city is the den of the tiger? Yue Ye lost her voice, So what? Could it be that you dont know that, in order to kill you, the Demon God Emperor had no scruples against making the Holy Warst over two years? This Holy War has already lowered the demon poption by more than thirty percent. For the sake of killing you, the Demon God Emperor personally went to look for you in the Exorcist Mountain Pass alongside my father and some demon gods. For the sake of killing you, the Star Demon God Vassago did not refuse to burn all his life to use Great Prophecy. And you are just appearing in Modu like that! You you are simply a madman!!! Long Haochen didnt make a sound. He could understand Yue Yes emotions: although Long Haochen was not among the Alliances top in cultivation, hed surely rank near the top if one were to speak in terms of reputation and influence. It was for him that the demon sideunched this Holy War. Yue Ye tookrge gasps, her whole face covered with unbelief; watching Long Haochens handsome face, she felt out of control of her own body. Suddenly, she tookrge strides forward toward him, and hugged him tightly. This unexpected hug startled him greatly. Coming into such close contact, Long Haochen could clearly feel her intense heartbeat. In a daze, he didnt know how he should face this situation. He obviously couldnt return the hug: in his heart, Yue Ye was only arade, a friend. Yue Ye didnt utter a word, and Long Haochen stayed motionless in this calm secluded room, but didnt push her away. Deep inside, Yue Yes feelings caused some reactions in him. It wasnt that he didnt think of rejecting her, but as this mixed-blood beauty in front of him had just saved his life not long before, how could he bear to push her away like that? Holding Long Haochen tightly, Yue Yes intense heartbeat gradually came back to normal. She suddenly realized that this was the first time of her life that she felt so alive. And this feeling of substance was due to this man: what a good feeling. She was almost unable to resist the urge to let out moans, but still restrained herself in the end. She didnt want him to see through her, yet really hated to part with him. The two of them were calmly standing there, not budging for a while. When Yue Ye came up to hold him, her body felt slightly cold, but as time passed, Long Haochen distinctly felt that it was gradually heating up. Filled with a deep fright, Long Haochen knew that he couldnt let this go on. He was also just a man like any other, and Yue Ye was such a beauty: even if he could control himself even if this went on, he was afraid that this would change the friendly rtionship between the two of them. This was something he did not wish to see. Princess. Long Haochen said in low voice. This appetion of princess made Yue Ye shiver slightly. The gradually warming Yue Ye was woken up just as if a cup of cold water was poured on her. Unconsciously letting go of his arms, she stepped back rapidly, and showed a somewhat pale, blushing face. Am I just a princess in your heart? Yue Ye revealed a trace of distress. She had believed she had let go of him a long time ago, but seeing him for real and sensing the aura on his body, she realized that this feeling were still there, buried deeply in her heart. Long Haochen let out a light sigh, Sorry, Yue Ye. You should know that I already have Caier, and my heart cannot contain feelings for anyone else than her. I regard you as my friend, a lifetime friend. Thank you for your message which enabled us to narrowly escape from that crisis. Your friend? So what if I am your friend? If I run into a life threatening crisis, will you be protecting me like how you protected Caier with your own life? I will. Long Haochen replied categorically, without showing any hesitation. This startled Yue Ye, who looked at Long Haochen with an air of unbelief. Although they hadnt been in much contact, she understood clearly that Long Haochen was this kind of person. He wouldnt make this kind of promise lightly, but would be certain to do it if he said so. Long Haochen dered with sincerity, Since I received your emergency warning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, in my eyes you have already stopped being just a cooperative partner, but also a real friend. I understand that you too were bearing an enormous risk. If youe to meet with danger, I will do my best to save you from that. Long Haochens words werent a flowery speech, as he didnt have such rhetorical talents, but they deeply shocked Yue Yes heart, and her pale face gradually came back to normal. She turned her head, her back facing Haochen, and put great efforts into pacifying her thumping heart. A long timeter, she turned back, back to showing a normal expression. You came to the core city because the Demon God Emperor and my father went away taking arge amount of demon gods, so this ce should be empty right? If this is what you think, you are mistaken. Modu Core City is the foundation of all demonkind, and has five demon gods standing on watch. At anytime, the five greatest ns will leave powerhouses on guard in their Demon God Pces. Coming here to look for a chance is nothing other than suicide. I can tell that your cultivation has greatly grown in those two years, but I can tell you with certainty that two Devil Dragon powerhouses of the ninth step are enough to annihte your whole team. After recovering her calm, Yue Ye was back to her wise and foresighted self, immediately able to tell the reasons of Long Haochens arrival. No, youing to the core city should be totally outside the Demon God Emperors expectations. No one should have expected that you would walk right into the trap, and with your intelligence, I dont think you came with a suicidal n. Tell me, just what are you nning? Long Haochen nodded, Based on the information you gave me, the Star Demon God Vassago should be greatly weakened by the use of Great Prophecy and have only a tenth of his top-form strength, right? I havee here to request a confirmation of that fact first of all. After hearing his question, Yue Ye was once again in shock, You You cant be nning to attack the Star Demon God? Long Haochen didnt try to conceal the truth, and nodded to her. Yue Ye let out a gasp, Looks like you are truly mad. How could that be possible? Even if he has just a tenth of his strength, the Star Demon God is not an opponent you can deal with. Dont you know he has countless ways yet to increase his cultivation in a burst to an extremely terrifying level? Im afraid you guys would not even be able to take a single one of his blows! Long Haochen replied, We have already considered all these points; dont worry, since we darede, it is surely after doing careful reflection. I have already considered all difficulties, and its not as if we are nning to directly kill the Star Demon God. Can you tell me whats the current condition of the Star Demon God? Yue Ye replied, The Star Demon God is indeed weakened after his use of Great Prophecy; this is something Father told me personally, and my father has never spoken false words to me. His demon god pir is called Star of Truth, and causes any lie he would tell to greatly affect his cultivation. So whye for him if you dont n on killing the Star Demon God? Oh, I know. You must be nning to destroy his demon god pir. Dont tell me you really have that power of destroying demon god pirs. With Yue Yes intelligence, she managed to guess Long Haochens objective. Long Haochen shrugged his shoulders, Yes. If not for that, why would the Demon God Emperorunch a Holy War because of me? By destroying or damaging the Star Demon Gods pir, our objective will be attained. Dont worry, we have no ns of involving you no matter what. Today, it was only to confirm whether the Star Demon God is really in a weakened state, as well as to inform you of our time of action, so that you can avoid being implicated or even wounded at that time. Yue Ye murmured, What a real fearless guy you are. To actually dare target this Modu Capital City. Are you really confident? Long Haochen showed a light smile, Theres nothing certain in this world from the beginning. This operation is mainly aiming at catching the enemy off guard. Since even you, the most familiar person with us, didnt expect that, the Demon God Emperor naturally wont expect it. We cannot remain here for too long, so tomorrow evening will be the time of our action. When the timees, we will create a diversion in your Moon Demon Pce, before proceeding towards the Star Demon Pce. We will beunching an attack of forbidden-spell grade against the Moon Demon Pce, so be extremely careful when remaining in here. Hearing Long Haochens exnation, Yue Ye understood his strategy, bing speechless for a moment. Looking at Long Haochen she couldnt help but show a sluggish expression. For some reason, a sudden burst of pride arose in her. Yue Ye secretly thought: _Thats the man I have chosen._ Leading his Demon Hunt Squad, he actually darede so brazenly to Modu and aim at the Star Demon God Pir. Thats just how courageous and self-confident he was. No sign of arrogance was perceived from him; since he said he had reflected on it carefully, he must have reflected on it carefully. But just as he said, because his n was far too bold, and far too unimaginable, no one could guess it beforehand. Creating a diversion really was a good strategy, as attacking the Moon Demon Pce would naturally mobilize the Star Demon Pce with which they had the greatest rtionship.

Chapter 622: Yue Yeswork (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Although Yue Ye didnt know the detailed n Long Haochens group had, she realized with astonishment that this n was really feasible. She was just far too conscious about what demon god pirs represent for the demons. No matter his strength, even if its the Demon God Emperor, if a demon gods pir is destroyed, his position will also fall to dust instantly! The demon god pirs are their foundation, and in some manner, an indestructible second body for the demon gods. Thank you for your help Yue Ye. Be very careful, I am going now. After telling her these words, Long Haochen proceeded to the exit. Yue Ye stepped across, blocking his path of escape. Raising her head to look at him, she showed slight displeasure, Are you really leaving like that? Long Haochen had a start, You... Yue Ye snorted, How much do you even know Modu Core City? Even if your n was even more reliable, how urately can you strike my Moon Demon Pce and the Star Demon Pce? Even the power of a forbidden spell is limited; knowing the core areas will only make our two Demon Pces all the more panicked. Do you know the urate location of the Star Demon God Pir and the ce where the Star Demon God is secluded? And how strong are the Star Demons forces in the Star Demon Pce? Long Haochen didnt utter a word. Actually, Yue Yes questions were all things he had wanted to ask today, but after Yue Ye hugged him like that, he just didnt dare ask anymore. That was because he suddenly realized that he already owed Yue Ye far too much. If he received even more from her, how could he repay that favor? And the feelings she had for him, made it even harder for him to ask. Actually Long Haochen had some backup thoughts about todays n. By just spending some more time, he could investigate the two great demon pces, after all, he still had this identity as a Moon Demon Viscount, enabling him to ask about some known information. Of course, he would prefer to get Yue Yes urate information, which was the only way to increase his chances of sess. Although this operation Long Haochen came for was dangerous, he still proceeded with enough prudence. Unless enough safety precautions were taken, he wouldnt dare move rashly even if he had to give up on this n. It should be to ask all this that you havee to see me this time, right? Why are you not asking? Long Haochen looked fervently at Long Haochen. Long Haochen let out a light sigh, I already really owe you too much. If I keep owing you, I dont know how I could repay you all this. Yue Ye almost blurted out, _Repay it with your body._ But she still bore it, because she knew that this would only increase the distance between the two of them even further. So it turns out that you already know that you owe me a lot? Very good, let me tell you how to repay me then. Be at ease, it is not something personal that I will be asking. Yue Yes expression exercised restraint, making less emotion show to appear more rational. Revealing a wise look, she dered after taking a short pause, Long Haochen, I can help you with my utmost, and not only this time but on every asion there wille to be in the future. As long as you need it, I will do my utmost to provide any information you need. Yue Yes voice sounded really pleased, and furthermore she rified that he didnt need to repay her emotionally. Long Haochen was startled, What are your gains then? Yue Ye dered, If one day, you can be a leader of humanity, and lead them to defeat demonkind, I hope that you wouldnt eradicate it all, and leave just a small territory for demonkind to dwell in. It will be just a small kingdom outside your human empire, and I will be its ruler. For a thousand years, humankind shall not be allowed to attack us. Long Haochen didnt expect this condition from Yue Ye at all, and couldnt help but feel arge shock, Yue Ye, are you sure that is your only wish? You should know that this is something I can absolutely not promise you. Even if I be a Divine Knight in the future, the Temple Alliance will surely not listen to my lone word either. Yue Ye looked at him with determination, I just want your promise. So what about what all others say? If the whole Temple Alliancees under yourmand, why wouldnt you be able to make the decision? And you should know clearly that even if humankind can annihte all our demonkind, it will surely be at an enormous cost. At that time, if you can give us a chance to move away into a small territory, then the chances of demonkind going all out with no more regard for their own lives will be much lower. I dont want much, just a territory the size of a province will be sufficient. Long Haochen furrowed his brows, deeply considering Yue Yes proposal. There stood no doubt that having Yue Ye as a mole among demonkind would greatly benefit them in their future courses of actions. But this condition of Yue Ye felt really iprehensible in his eyes. Even if I promise you, will the surviving forces even listen to yourmand after we defeat demonkind? Yue Ye showed a tranquil smile, Thats my own issue. Its enough for you to just give me your promise. If in the future you cannotmand the Temple Alliance, or if my strength is insufficient to gather the scattered demon survivors, or if you humans cannot defeat us demons, there will be no need to fulfill your part. Demonkind may be outsiders, but they have, after all, six thousand years of history on this continent since their arrival. In some sense, outside the seventy-two demon gods, all demon races are also born from the evolution of various original creatures from Shengmo Dalu, which are originally part of this word. If you can destroy the seventy-two demon god pirs, its hard to say whether the demons demonification will persist. And I can tell you one secret without fear. Do you know what our Yue Ye Merchant Groups fundamental force is? Long Haochen shook his head. Yue Ye replied, Our fundamental forces are the individuals of mixed human and demon blood. Long Haochen was startled, immediately looking forward to the continuation of Yue Yes speech. Yue Ye continued, Individuals of mixed human and demon blood are far more numerous than you imagine. The Yue Ye Merchant Force is just our external facet, but our scope of influence extends to all demon territory. Among us, the overwhelming majority is more inclined to human thinking. And until now, we have really been looking ahead for an opportunity to be independent. You should understand my intention given how intelligent you are. So I will certainly not limit my help to providing information. In case the asion gets ripe, our organizations strength will emerge of itself. Long Haochen showed some unbelief, And you are the leader of this organization? Yue Ye shook her head, Not yet. Let me leak out some more to you: our organizations present leader is a demon god of mixed human and demon descent. After I set up the Yue Ye Merchant group, we have been in touch, and I have been in charge of intelligence works for the organization. If my strength reaches a sufficient level in the future, I will surely have the qualifications to fight for the position of leader. Mixed human and demon breed have a lot of advantages, for instance even if our present head gets his demon god pir destroyed, it will at most incur a slight loss of strength and inability to use its power. But that is far from the case for those purebred demon gods. Please give me your reply after considering it. For now, I am not speaking as your friend, but on behalf of my organization. In case our agreementse to a good end, we will also be the one in control of that kingdom. Long Haochen sank into contemtion, and without hurry, Yue Ye calmly stood waiting for him. A short timeter, Long Haochen slowly raised his head, Okay, I give you my promise. Yue Ye charmingly revealed a slightly distressing smile. She knew that from this instant onward, Long Haochen and herself would be once again back to that pure rtion of partnership. But what other choice did she have? I believe in your integrity, so there is no need for any contract of promise. Alright, now tell me your ns. Lets perfect it now, trying our utmost to erase all danger. Wait a bit, I am bringing you our map of the Moon Demon Pce and the Star Demon Pce. Modu Core City was still so imposing, and had the densest darkness essence. All demon powerhouses took the fact of living there as a honor, because in addition to the privilege of living there, the dense essence only made their cultivation speed faster. The sky darkened gradually, and the weather was not so good, dark clouds hovering all over the sky, where dusky drizzles hovered. Aside from the umted dust, an abundant darkness essence was contained inside, affecting even the skys color. Outside the Moon Demon Pce, in an unremarkable nook, stood a man, a huge cloakpletely covering his body. He was standing calmly, asionally revealing a face of extreme handsomeness when looking to the side. Its about the Moon Demons and Star Demons meal time. Long Haochen muttered aloud. Right at this time, a few Moon Demons appeared at his side. Long Haochen did not avoid them, but instead looked at them face to face. Seeing Long Haochens handsome traits, they immediately lowered their heads, then left at a rapid pace. Purple eyes and a handsome face. This was originally the greatest characteristic of Moon Demons. Also, their status generally goes up with their degree of handsomeness. Appearance would never determine a Moon Demons age, but could determine his strength. And without a doubt, Long Haochen was heaven-blessed to be disguised as a Moon Demon. Tower of Eternity. The members of Bright Glimmer of Hope were all d for battle, already prepared in their optimum state. All gathered together, they calmly waited. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis injuries were already a lot better after the past days. Long Haochen didnt invite them, but if not for their insufficiently recovered strength, they would surely be itching to participate in this operation. At this moment, they could only give their most sincere blessings to Bright Glimmer of Hopes group. Chapter 623 - Earth Dragon Liberation (I)

Chapter 623: Earth Dragon Liberation (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Downcast chants echoed in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. This incantation was not from anyone of Bright Glimmer of Hope, and came with surges of earth elemental fluctuations. Not far from the group, four figures were seated in a circle. Three of them formed a triangle, with thest one sitting in the center and chanting. Red, blue, green and yellow colored figures emitted different light,ing from the four holy guards that Long Haochen had obtained inside this Tower of Eternity. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth upied three angles, and the soulfire in their eyes pulsed violently. The air surrounding the Ninth Holy Guard seated in the middle also pulsed violently, and his body started to look incorporeal. The three Great Holy Guards were pouring their soul force into the Ninth Holy Guard, helping himplete his spell.Thetter held in his hand a fist-sized white jewel, into which an incredible amount of earth essence was poured from his own body. Long Haochen was waiting for him, and the same went for everyone present. This mission couldnt take long, they had to go in and out from Modu Core City like a breeze for this to seed. To unleash a forbidden spell in Modu was no different than looking for death. Even an ordinary Moon Demon would be able to sense waves of spiritual energy of such degree, so the incantation had to bepleted there. Also, the gem in the hands of the Ninth Holy Guard was not obtained from any Bright Glimmer of Hope member but from Yue Ye. This was a crucial part of their n. Zhang Fangfang said, Its about time. Get ready everyone, Haochen should pretty much be back if everything goes as nned. With Caier in her amnesic state, Zhang Fangfang, being the oldest one here, temporarilymanded Bright Glimmer of Hope. Sima Xian pulled onto the dark golden chains, pulling the Energetic Ball of Light close. Lifting it, he ced it above his arm and the others also took out their own weapon, calmly standing in wait. As the chant of the Ninth Holy Guard became increasingly louder, one could clearly see that colorless crystal turn yellow. The powerful waves of spiritual energy distorted the air violently, as that substantial looking earth essence was poured out at a frightening speed. The four holy guards joint strength was sufficient to use a forbidden-spell grade spell. As the Tower of Eternity had obtained so much soul force, they also gained a huge boost in strength. Right at this time, Long Haochen reappeared in front of hisrades in a sh of golden light. He remained silent, and immediately looked at the four holy guards. The Ninth Holy Guard was finally reaching thest juncture of his incantation. His high-pitched incantation could be heard reverberating through the whole Tower of Eternity. Long Haochen had a very severe look. Saying he had no feelings of anxiousness was impossible. To brave rain and wind in Modu Capital and aim against the Star Demon Gods demon god pir was their bold n, and this was more than enough to astonish anyone. This was undoubtedly the hardest and most dangerous mission they had had up to now. By chance, the existences of the Tower of Eternity and Eternal Melody made the mission feasible, otherwise they would not even dare think of such a thing. Atst, the resounding chanting sounds came to a stop, and in the midst of an intense knocking of the air, the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth holy guards copsed. Just a bit was left of the soulfires in their eyes, while the Ninth Holy Guard was bursting in yellow light and vigor while pouring thest bits of earth essence frantically into that crystal. One could clearly see that around that crystal drifted someplex patterns. Just by looking, one could already feel how frantic all the energy stockpiled inside was. The yellow light vanished suddenly, as all traces of magic disappeared at once, poured inside that crystal. The whole crystal turned into a solemn yellow color, and dispersed some faint traces of dark golden brilliance. The Ninth Holy Guard handed his crystal to Long Haochen. Both his hands were really shaking, making the consumption extremely visible. Long Haochen took the crystal and gave him a nod, after which the Ninth Holy Guard immediately sat cross-legged, silently recovering from his massive consumption of spiritual energy. Long Haochen looked back at the group, nodding to everyone, then shed in golden light and disappeared once again from the groups field of view. The others from Bright Glimmer of Hope all understood that from this instant, their n was formallyunched. They all had coinciding feelings of anxiousness and an indescribable excitement that mostly hid it. Long Haochen reappeared in a corner of the Moon Demon Pce without a sound. His tiptoes tapping lightly on the ground, he didnt put any of his spiritual energy to use, only borrowing his bodys strength to send himself aloft. The walls surrounding the Moon Demon Pce reached a length of over ten meters, but it didnt count as anything in front of the release of Long Haochens power. They were now in a carefully chosen area that he had finally picked after consulting Yue Ye a lot. This area was in the outskirts of the Moon Demon Pce, inside the Moon Demon Hall, built in tribute to the Moon Demon God. Outside of the Moon Demons royal family, the rear of this pce was generally only used for the ordinary Moon Demons meal. No area in the Moon Demon Pce stood with more importance than the Moon Demon Hall. If the Moon Demon God Agares was in his Moon Demon Pce, thats where his demon god pir would be, but at that time the Moon Demon Hall would undoubtedly be invulnerable to attacks. But as Agares was not present, his demon god pir was naturally not present either, rendering an attack on it meaningless. Long Haochen had a focused look as he picked a spot. Even with his firm will, he couldnt help but feel his heartbeat elerate. As soon as the n wasunched, there would no longer be any turning back. That crystal releasing a dark yellow color as he held it in his hand felt burning hot. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down his emotions, and as his eyes shed with coldness, that poison-colored crystal in his hand let out a sh of lightning. This instant, he had already stopped concealing his spiritual energy, otherwise he would be unable to make use of this crystals full power. It disappeared in a sh of yellow light which streaked across an area of a full hundred meters. uratelynding in a parcel of the Moon Demon Pces ground, it drilled into the ground and disappeared without a trace from the surfaces view. The instant Long Haochen saw it make its way to the ground, he immediately turned his head and ran away, without the slightest pause. elerating like a sh of light to his bodys greatest speed while confirming his direction, he sped along toward the predetermined destination. Now was not a time for him to release his spiritual wings yet; it would only make him too conspicuous in the midst of Modu. Instead, he reached his highest speed possible on the ground level. While Long Haochen made this frantic run, the Moon Demon Pce was still peaceful. The ground outside was the same as before, as if it hadnt changed in the slightest since then. The previous outburst of light element fluctuations alone attracted the attention of the Moon Demon Powerhouses present. After all, it was extremely rare for light essence to suddenly appear in this Modu City full of darkness essence. A few seconds after Long Haochen made a run, a few purple silhouettes suddenly arrived in the Moon Hall, in the area where the yellow crystal drilled itself into the ground. Looking puzzled at the sight of the surroundings, they used a scouting technique on the area. How could there be some light elemental fluctuations earlier? A tall and handsome looking Moon Demon asked in puzzlement. Although d in a gown, his swelling muscles could still be seen through his clothes. The other thinner figure replied, Youre right, I sensed it too. How could some light essence appear so suddenly in there? Did the scouting technique show results? Nothing. Everything is normal. The third Moon Demon shook his head. The three of these all had a strength reaching the eighth step, only characterizable as normal adults amongst Moon Demons. The very first to speak was a tall Moon Demon, Something is amiss. For some reason, I have a bad premonition. Theres no way light essence can appear for no reason. Even sunlight should be unable to make it there. A human light user was surely here just before. We should search attentively. As they were talking, the three Moon Demons expressions changed at once. Unconsciously, they looked at their feet. To their shock, a soft, thin-looking, light yellow radiance slowly dispersed to their feet, and spread outwards. _How could there be earth essenceing out now?_ The three Moon Demons werepletely speechless, but it was an extremely soft and mild earth essence that had just appeared, feeling close to no threat to them. This time, even more Moon Demons hade rushing in, but the yellow color on the ground became more and more intense. No good! Take a look A Moon Demon suddenly lost his voice. The group of Moon Demons followed his pointed finger, discovering with astonishment that at some point a thinyer of yellow had also climbed up the Moon demon Pces walls. Quick, darkness suppression! a Moon Demon of rather high cultivation shouted out. Then, all Moon Demons present ignited themselves in intense dark purple radiances. Moon Demons were no weaklings: almost all the Moon Demons present there were powerhouses of the eighth step. However, their reaction was, in the end, toote. Against an already unleashed forbidden spell, even a Moon Demon of the ninth step would at most be able to defend himself. Stopping the outburst of this forbidden spell would only be doable if Agares was present right now in this Moon Demon Hall. Chapter 624 - Earth Dragon Liberation (II)

Chapter 624: Earth Dragon Liberation (II)

Trantor: GravityTales _Brrr!_ The earth violently shook as terrifying earth elemental fluctuations burst out; dense earth elemental fluctuations erupting in an area extending to a range of a thousand meters. In arge explosion, the ground split instantaneously and the whole Moon Demon Pce started shaking profusely along with the whole Modu Core City. How could this happen? This question arose instantly in all the Moon Demons. They were all powerhouses of the 8th step, with naturally sufficient perceptions. The instant they perceived a threat to their life, these Moon Demons flew away in panic, rushing away from the air. Any demon, whichever its race, would prioritize their own safety in front of a life threatening danger. At this time a second sudden explosion rang out. It gave an instant feeling of a dragon king arising from the ground. In the whole Moon Demon Pce,rge pieces of ground cracked, countless boulders sshing in all directions. Those terrifying earth elemental fluctuations only kept causing intense rumbles over and over again. The Moon Demon Pce truly deserved being called the most important building for the Moon Demon n demonkinds. Even in the midst of these explosions, it kept glinting instead of getting caught in the explosions. All around it,yers of dark purple htions rippled all around. That was its defensive formation, made specially for the building. This ce being the Moon Demons headquarters, consecrated to the Moon Demon God, how could it be so easy to shake? Even if the Moon Demon Gods pir was not part of the defensive formation, its defensive power was still iparably terrifying. As the main ringleader for this ident, Long Haochen wasnt thinking about destroying the Moon Demon Pce! Yue Ye and him had nned thoroughly, and obviously knew about the extent of the Moon Demon Pces defensive power. Their actual goal was, rather than to destroy this Moon Demon Pce, to borrow the power of the Ninth Holy Guards earth elemental forbidden spell to make everyone aware that an attack was ongoing against the Moon Demon Pce! The forbidden spell finally erupted at its peak, causing the whole of Modu to shake with terrible rumbles. Loads of walls from the Moon Demon Pce crumbled and myriads of rocks came falling down, producing a terrible explosive force. Even a powerhouse of the ninth step wouldnt dare approach at this time. The Moon Demon Pces defenses were certainly solid, but that was the pce itself, not the ground underneath! Along with some deafening sting sounds, the whole Moon Demon Pce was sted by a terrifying pushing force, rushing instantaneously into the air. One could clearly see a huge earth-yellow colored dragon drill into the Moon Demon Pce from underneath, extending over more than a hundred meters. Whirling around at frantic speed, its body let out terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy, causing the nearby rocks to st away, as if all surrounding rocks had just be artillery shells made of spiritual energy. Many of the Moon Demons that did not make it in time to escape screamed in misery. The area serving for Moon Demons to have meals in had already long since copsed, and in this short amount of time, over a third of the Moon Demon Pces interior had turned into ruins. The rocks in the midst of these ruins still kept exploding frantically: only the area protected by defensive formations, the most important areas of the pce, were preserved. The earth attribute forbidden-spell level Earth Dragon Liberation came out from the ground below the Moon Demon Pce, elevating itself several hundred meters high in the air, bing visible from any corner of Modu Core City. That huge yellow dragon did not keep attacking, only rolling frantically while causing powerful bursts of earth elemental essence. Even the Moon Demons of the ninth step did not dare approach it. Of all earth forbidden spells, Earth Dragon Liberation wasnt the most powerful, because of its greatest w: its scope. Generally, forbidden spells have a very wide range, but Earth Dragon Liberations range was limited to only five hundred meters, what extended beyond being no more than residue from its power. But its true might would only be deployed in a range of five hundred meters. But for this very reason, the might of this earth dragon was terrifying enough to ce it above a lot of other earth elemental forbidden spells. It was unable tounch a direct attack, but attacking it would only cause terrible repercussions. This Earth Dragon borrowed its power from Earths true might and condensed it, formed on its own of over 300,000 spiritual energy. Of course, it was only able to wreak havoc on its original location and for a limited time, after which it would disappear on its own. Thats its other w. So the fact a powerful earth mage chooses to use this forbidden spell can only mean that his goal is to destroy an area and not kill the enemy. In Long Haochens n, this Earth Dragon Liberation was the greatest candidate to be released there. That crystal Yue Ye handed him was able to store spiritual energy of forbidden-spell level for a short time, but the spiritual energy inside will disappear as time passes. So it should be used promptly after storage. The Ninth Holy Guards could not possiblyplete the forbidden spell while teleporting it entirely through Long Haochens Eternal Melody, which was a little issue Long Haochen had originally forecasted, and resolved thanks to this crystal. At the moment, the earth dragoning from the forbidden spell was perfectlypleting its mission, drawing the whole Modu Core Citys attention, including all the demon powerhouses present. Gathered attacks, and hall defense! A dignified voice spread. On ck colored clouds, two dark purple figures appeared noiselessly in the sky above the Moon Demon Pce. One of them shed past, and pierced through the Moon Demon Hall while the othernded on the ground, releasing myriads of purplish light from its body, forming a huge purple mantle towering over the coiling earth dragon. Standing in front of a forbidden spell, what kind of overbearing act was that? Though, of course, he was not nning to obliterate this forbidden spell, only to restrict its power. The appearance of these two figures immediately calmed down the frenzied Moon Demon nsmen, arge amount of whom started to release powerful magic. Some were trying to protect the Moon Demon Pce, and some tried to restrict the coiling earth dragon alongside the second figure. No doubt, the two suddenly appearing situation-reversing Moon Demons were two of the Four Moon Demon Great Emperors, the other two being reported as brought alongside Agares to follow the Demon God Emperor to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. while these two were left to protect the Moon Demon Pce. They were the true top powerhouses of the Moon Demon n. As the second greatest n, although Moon Demons were caught off guard by the forbidden spell, they still made a prompt response, reducing the damage to its lowest. However, even so, this sudden forbidden spell still destroyed a great part of the buildings inside the Moon Demon Pce, which would take quite a while to rebuild. And, right at this time,rge amounts of shadows, mostly ck colored, rushed toward the Moon Demon Pce. Long Haochen seemed expressionless at the sight of the changes in the situation, but actually, his mental force was stretched to the greatest extent, enabling him to perceive all the changes all around. The instant the Moon Demon Pce elevated itself into the air, Long Haochen elerated even further, knowing that his primary n was alreadyplete. This route he was currently speeding along was carefully and cautiously chosen, not a straight line from the Moon Demon Pce to the Star Demon Pce, but the most inconspicuous route. Blending in among high buildings shadows on the route, his shadow was furthermore almost imperceptible without paying extreme attention, thanks to his current speed. At this crucial moment, Long Haochen was extremely concentrated and serious. Gradually, his rushing breath wasing back to normal, and the light essence of extreme purity in him didnt leak out at all, as he only relied on external spiritual energy to advance forward. _They are finally making a move,_ Long Haochens attention was suddenly drawn, making him pull back some of his most extended mental force. Thats because he distinctly sensed from the direction of the Star Demon Pce that over a hundred flying figures came out, heading toward the Moon Demon Pce. They were the first additionalrge group of the whole Modu Capital City to set in to action. As expected, the Moon Demon Pce and Star Demon Pce were the closest, confirming the feasibility of the rest of the n. After the Star Demon Pce reacted, a figure swept past around it. That instant, Long Haochen had retracted all his mental force, and didnt dare do any scouting. _Demons were really powerful!_ Long Haochen gasped secretly. The instant his mental probing was retracted, he could distinctly sense that at least forty of the flying demons visible in the sky already reached the ninth step. This was a really colossal strength, the true demon elite, and that was when the Demon God Emperor had brought away arge part of it. _Today must be a sess!_ Long Haochen determinedly clenched his fists, and as more and more individuals were gathering around the Moon Demon God, he finally reached his destination. His footsteps came to a step, and setting himself afloat, Long Haochen headed to an inconspicuous spot on the Star Demon Pces side. At some point a yellow star shaped gem had appeared in his right hand. Some elemental fluctuations were faintly discernible outside the Star Demon Pce. But uponing into contact with Haochen, they magically disappeared, as the gem in his hand dispersed faint traces of warmth. Having finally decided on this n, Long Haochen had put in meticulous care when preparing it. Having discussed a lot with Yue Ye to perfect it, he had now an overall understanding of both the Moon Demon Pce and the Star Demon Pce. And, Yue Ye had supplied quite a few crucial goods, including the crystal enabling the forbidden spells release, as well as that gem in his hand being used right now. Chapter 625 - Earth Dragon Liberation (III)

Chapter 625: Earth Dragon Liberation (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Distorted mental waves circted noiselessly outside Long Haochens body. A mental probing ability of any kind would hardly find him out at this time, unless its spiritual energy surpassed his by over threefold, but even so, it would need to happen to lock on to his precise position. This was the first time Long Haochen had set foot in the Star Demon Pce, but at present he was like an experienced visitor. Speeding along, he followed the outermost yellow walls, under perfect concealment and without making any sound. The entire route through the pce had already been simted many times during his nning with Yue Ye. In his eyes, this ce was unfamiliar but that route was iparably familiar. Long Haochen knew that he didnt have much time. Regardless of whether he would seed or not, hisrades and he only had a single chance. In case of failure, they would have to immediately retreat. He wasing closer and close to the objective. Just like the Moon Demon Pce, the Star Demon Pce was also extremely wide, but even walking through all of it would not take much time at Long Haochens current speed. One great building after another kept popping in to sight, but Long Haochen did not encounter any Star Demons. _It looks like the Star Demons really deployed all their elites for the sake ofing to rescue of the Moon Demon Pce._ _Found it._ Long Haochens eyes abruptly focused ahead, and his walking pace slowed down ordingly. That was a pagoda-looking building, extremely tall, but without as many floors as the usual pagoda. The whole ce was about thirty meters tall, but its volume was below five hundred meters, making it only look excessively tall. The entire pce was glinting in orange, the orange color characterizing the epic tier, but carrying some traces of darkness element. The orange radiance vanished slowly, then reappeared, varying like human breathing. At first sight, one could perceive an incorporeal pressure surging out from Long Haochens body. This ce inside the pce, the Star Demon Pagoda, location of the Star demon god pir, was the destination of Long Haochens group. Two Star Demons stood calmly outside the Star Demon Pagoda, looking upward with some hesitation on his face. The two of them were d identically in orange gowns and equipped with orange staves. From the auraing out from them, one could tell out that these two guardians of the Star Demon Pagoda were powerhouses of the ninth step: Star Demons of the ninth step. Although Long Haochen had already been informed by Yue Ye that the guardians of the Star Demon Pagoda were powerhouses of the ninth step, upon seeing them for real, he couldnt help but feel uncontrobly nervous. Not because of the opponents strength, but due to the matter of time. He had to dispose of these two Star Demons in the shortest time possible, rush into the Star Demon Pagoda, destroy the demon god pir, and, finally, escape intact. This ce was Modu Core City, and he definitely didnt have the time to get rid of these two Star Demons, and then enter the Star Demon Pagoda. They were powerhouses of the ninth step! In another ce, he couldmand hisrades, and deal with those non-demon-god powerhouses with confidence. But there was no way for him to deploy all his strength to kill the enemy in here, and in addition, he had no way to stop the enemies from sending signals about an attack on the Star Demon Pagoda. It was a race against time. In a sh of golden light, Long Haochen disappeared quietly. The instant he reappeared, he had hisrades at his side, but this didnt include Haoyue. Thats because Long Haochen knew clearly that this was not yet the time to summon Haoyue, as his aura was just too familiar to demon gods. These were only two Star Demons of the ninth step, but if Vassago was added to the lot, they would have no chances of winning. Even if Vassago was in his weakest state, he should be able to stall for some time. So the only way to seed was to have Haoyue ready to teleport andunch his most powerful attack at once, right in front of the Star demon god pir. The current Haoyue was chanting an incantation in his own world. His purple bloodline force was already erupting to its peak force, and he was prepared tounch a fatal strike right after appearing. When Long Haochen brought his group ofrades to be teleported here, those two Star Demons of the ninth step found out about his presence. The looks on their faces changed at once, as they lifted staves in their hand. Go! Long Haochen shouted out, turning into a streak of light rushing straight to the two Star Demons. That was the fastest knight ability Lightspeed sh. At this time, he was already showing no more reservations. The four wings on his back glittered, raising his speed to the peak. All Demon Hunters from Bright Glimmer of Hope all rushed at their greatest speed, letting their already prepared attacks erupt. A reddish and a purplish glint flitted across Long Haochens sides, shooting towards the two Star Demons. Although these two were powerhouses of the ninth step, as they were caught by surprise, they werete in responding. Thebination of the Gigantic Ball of Light and Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder had previously managed to push away the Panther Demon God Auxerre. Even if these two Star Demons were even more powerful, there would still be a gap in strength between them and the Demon God Transformed Auxerre. And, just like Sima Xian, Lin Xin used his most powerful attack, Vulcains Finger,bined with a Hellfire Needle within. Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang took the sidelines and charged forward alongside Long Haochen, and at some point Caier had also attached herself to his back. The current Haochen had a grim look, wielding the Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which were glinting profusely. The staves on the two Star Demons hands glistened in orange color, and two intense orange htions came out right in front of them. As the most powerful magic oriented demon n, Star Demons naturally had a lot of means of preservation, especially those who reached the ninth step, which blessed them with terrible strength. These two orange htions stopped right in front of the Star Demon Pagoda, sheltering it without a single gap. One could see orange twinkling stars on the foreheads of these two Star Demons, their eyes turning orange-colored as well. In arge explosion, Sima Xian and Lin Xins attacks bombarded these two barriers. But to their shock, although the barriers were shaking violently, there was not a single crack forming in them. _Such great defense? And thats an instant cast defensive magic?_ If Yue Ye hadnt seen this before and hadnt had some understanding of the Star Demons guarding this ce, Long Haochen would surely be slowed down here, because this instant defensive magic was really too effective. Yue Ye had told Long Haochen that the two Star Demons guarding the pagoda were not among the strongest in offensive power, but focused their training on defensive magic since a young age. Only cultivating defensive magic, they were given a single mission, which was to protect the Star Demon God Vassago as well as his Star Demon Pagoda. So, they were greatly aplished in defensive magic, and could be called the most aplished in this field among all demons. If they were given the time to perform casting, even the Star Demon God himself would need a very long time to breach their defenses. Of course, Long Haochen wouldnt give them such a free time. The group had originally made a sudden appearance, catching these two Star Demons off-guard. The orange barriers released simultaneously were chanted at the two Star Demons greatest speed. But Long Haochen and hisrades were already arrived. In arge sh, Long Haochens body struck those two barriers violently, and immediately, the pair of heavy swords in his hands made a bizarre motion, each sword harmonizing perfectly with the other one. The orange Aria of the Goddess of Light and the dark-green Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light matched up above his head, and although his body was repelled and propelled back, these two divine swords hadpleted a process of harmonization. Yating, whose six wings glinted strongly, appeared promptly behind Long Haochens back at that time. She was obviously prepared since long ago, and turned into a streak of golden light, entering the chink between the two harmonizing swords. A fantastic scene followed. An indescribable glow rushed out from the two fusing swords, carrying a terrifying power originating from ancient times. From the tip of the sword and far ahead, an incandescent light reced the previous orange and dark -green luster. A pure and powerful holy force burst out instantly from there, it carried no remarkable fluctuation of spiritual energy, just a domineering holy aura, full of the power of creation. Break for me! Long Haochen shouted loudly. The pure light essenceing out from his body was infected by that pair of divine swords, bing incandescent. Terrifying undtions of spiritual energy burst out instantly, as the divine sword struck! Without any sound of friction, nor any loud sound, when this holy incandescent divine sword strike came in contact with the barrier, it gave off a feeling of knife rubbing into butter. A white trace appeared noiselessly onto the barrier, and immediately, Long Haochen then struck a second time. In an ear-piercing shattering sound, those two yellow barriers turned instantly into countless yellow dots of light scattering. Long Haochens body kept charging, striking the Star Demon Pagodas gate violently. The instant of the sh, he became like an incandescent hedgehog releasing countless sword rays in two directions. Star Swords Rain, a Retribution Knights powerful crowd-based offensive ability. Under Long Haochens power control, Star Swords Rain condensed into two areas, enveloping the two Star Demons already prepared to release magic. If Long Haochen still had the two divine swords of epic tier from before, there was no way for him to have an easy time against these two Star Demons of the ninth step using Star Swords Rain. But the divine sword in his hand was neither of the Aria of the Goddess of Light nor Blue Rain, but an extraordinary divine swords born from those two swords. Chapter 626 - Star Demon Pagoda (I)

Chapter 626: Star Demon Pagoda (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # This divine sword was filled with the power of creation of life in light and water, nurturing this Sword of Creation. It didnt have the normal multicolored light from a divine tool, but had its own luster, proving that it was already thoroughly surpassing the scope of an ordinary divine tool. Even a demon god would not necessarily manage to thoroughly resist such an attack. Those two Star Demons of the ninth step couldnt attend to keep guarding the Star Demon Pagoda with their magic, and could only release barely orange barrier on their own while retreating swiftly. Large explosions finally reverberated. In this demon capital, in the core area of the Star Demon n came a hard to describe powerful burst of holy aura. The two Star Demons of the ninth step were repelled while spurting blood, their defensive barrier having been once again ruptured. To Long Haochens own surprise, his attack caused enormous damage on these two Star Demons. What a shame that this was not in the Star Demon Pce, otherwise these two Star Demons would have no chance to escape if his group were to follow up with another attack. This was the first time for Long Haochen to use the Divine Sword of Life and Creation, his greatest trump card, surpassing by far both itsponents in terms of tyrannical power. Long Haochen was already certain that even the weapon of the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang of those times was definitely not more powerful than his. The Sword of Life and Creation had Yating as its soul, and was born from the perfect fusion of the Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light; yielding a true divine tool far surpassing ordinary ones. Although it was not yetparable to a supra divine tool such as the Tower of Eternity, it was already approaching the level of the Divine Snail Shields true power. This sword fusion wasprehended by Long Haochen back in the time he had killed the Panther Demon God, and was brought about by Yating. As a fused spiritual stove, Yatings role had been to be a support so far, but only Long Haochen knew that among all the spiritual stoves of hisrades, probably none couldpare with her. After all, Yating was an intelligent spiritual stove. In terms of spiritual stove ssification, she had already surpassed the first tier of spiritual stoves, bing an intelligent spiritual stove. Of course, maybe Yating was still a bit short of the true ultimate intelligent spiritual stoves of legend, but she already gave Haochen an enormous help. The fallen meteorite absorbed by the two divine swords strengthened them greatly, and back then Yating told Long Haochen that they had a very strongpatibility, which is also why she rmended to upgrade the two of them together. But these divine swords were after all not created originally as a set. Their material and properties still differed, so how could they still be perfectly fused as one? This is due to Yatings continuous great efforts. In fact, it was only after having perfected thest hurdle in the spiritual stove fusion that she finally informed Haochen. Light and water were undoubtedly the two main elementsposing life and giving birth to life. The greatpatibility of these two sword attributes made their fusion feasible, and and Yating herself was the catalyst of that fusion. Fusing with the Saint Spiritual Stove gave Yating its nurturing ability, so she was the one nurturing the two divine swords throughout their absorbtion of the fallen meteorite. In some sense, it was because of Yatings nurturing that the two divine swords had a total change, so they had a great affinity with her. Yating was not a human in itself, and even though she really seemed like a living being, she was not one. So by making her own self something close to a sword soul, she managed to act as a catalyst for these two swords true fusion. This was how the Sword of Creation and Life was born. Long Haochen could not currently study the miracle brought by this divine sword. In this heavy sh, the gate stopping him was finally burst open, and with no hesitation, Long Haochen brought his group inside. Since the start of the operation, everything was going smoothly, and the heavy damage caused on these two Star Demons of the ninth step by his previous Star Swords Rain was a nice unexpected surprise. Now it seemed that they were really likely to seed. Long Haochen broke inside first, but Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang did not immediately follow, instead guarding the gate. Lin Xin, Chen Yinger, Han Yu and Sima Xian passed them, then they followed before hastily closing that door. Those two Star Demons of the ninth step outside already cried out with all they had, but no matter what rescue signal they would send, Long Haochens group was already inside the Star Demon Pagoda. A grey figure watched everything happening in front of the Star Demon Pagoda, clenching his fists, making his extreme nervousness visible. They are just too daring! No wonder I had the feeling that something was off. They were actually aiming for the Star Demons god pir! But can they really seed? Thats just too dangerous. Taking a deep breath, this grey figure kept quiet, but had an indescribable feeling of panic arising inside him. Terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy circted in the air, as Long Haochen kept going forward, his eyes flickering in light. Entering abruptly into the Star Demon Pagoda gave them an illusory feel, just like the first time they entered in the Tower of Eternity. Except that inside this Star Demon Pagoda, that feeling was full of mystery. Everything in the surrounding shone with a dark gold gloss. Under their feet was a massive dark-golden magic array, with many symbols unknown to Long Haochen on its body. They were certain that these symbols werent ancient elvishnguage, but extraordinary magic runes. These runes extended all over the ground to the walls of the whole Star Demon Pagoda, and in the center of this pagoday a massive pir that would need four people to wrap around it. From the outside, the Star Demon Pagoda did not look sorge, but upon entering for real, Long Haochens group found out with shock that the area inside the Star Demon Pagoda was close to the Alliances Great Stadium. From that huge pir linking heaven and earth, a dark golden gloss dispersed slowly, and grains of orange star-shaped dots flickered all around. Some of these stars wererge, some small, some illusory, some material, but each of them looked different. But at first nce, they felt like they made only one. The bizarre magic fluctuations gave off the feeling of seeing through the future. That instant, Long Haochen realized that it seemed like countless pairs of eyes were watching him, giving off an unbearable feeling. This is the Star Demon God Pir? Boss, hurry! Sima Xian was already shouting in impatience. Long Haochen immediately awoke from that eerie feeling. _How could I let myself soak into that feeling?_ While ming himself, Long Haochen swiftly initiated Haoyues summons. They were already arrived and everything was going so smoothly. Next, they would have to coborate with Haoyue to crush that pir with their all. Afterpleting the attack, Long Haochen would then transport all hisrades through the Tower of Eternity, before looking for a way to break out, and get as far as possible. After all, teleporting from as far as possible from the Star Demon Pce was the best, since they could only reappear at the location they had previously teleported from. Of course, this was the best case. If things were really undoable, their only option would be to leave by teleportation. This was Long Haochens whole n, to draw in all the powerhouses in Modu Core City, misdirecting them, then raid to attack the Star Demon Pagoda. The whole operation was near its end, and only needed Haoyue to achieve it. But Haoyue didnt appear. This instant Long Haochen froze. His whole body was shaken greatly as if a current of electricity had travelled through all of it, because... The summon was a failure! Right, his summoning of Haoyue had failed. Ever since Long Haochen had concluded a contract with Haoyue, this was the first time it failed so far. He was unexpectedly unable to sense Haoyues existence, unable to sense the blood link between the two of them, and moreover unable to bring him into this world. Their connection was breached without any reason. _How could this happen?_ Long Haochen had already considered any possible issue in his meticulous nning during this operation, but the only thing he didnt expect was a severing of the connection between Haoyue and him. How could such an awkward thing happen in such a crucial time? Seeing how Long Haochens body was shaking, Caier who was sticking close behind him stepped back in a rush, Haochen, whats happening? Every one of the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope could see the shock in Long Haochens look. At the same time, they had an ominous feeling arising inside each of them. I am unable to contact Haoyue, nor to summon him! Long Haochen almost lost his voice while saying that. As themander of his team, he was in total panic at this time, despite having so many years of battle experience. This was Modu Core City, and moreover, the core of the Star Demon Pagoda inside the Star Demon Pce, a ce where such an issue could very possibly cause their annihtion. At this time, a bizarre voice slowly reverberated, You finally came. I have been waiting a very very long time for you. Wee to you, Long Haochen, spokesperson of Austin Griffin. Chapter 627 - Star Demon Pagoda (II)

Chapter 627: Star Demon Pagoda (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # An orange luster abruptly took shape in front of the Star Demon God Pir, illuminating the ground. And just like that, an orange figure appeared in the center of this pir of light. He was seated in midair, his orange gown making him look no different from any ordinary Star Demon. But his pair of eyes seemed able to see through everything, shining like a yellow crystal. If one looked carefully, his eyes looked like an endless night sky. His long hair draping over his shoulder, he floated calmly, his handsome face visibly looking pale. His body dispersed a mystical aura, exactly the same as the oneing out from the Star Demon God Pir. Even though this was the first time the group saw him, a name surged up in everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope, Star Demon God Vassago. Everyone had a real inauspicious feeling. Vassago actually revealed himself in here, and at this time, they had lost the ability to summon Haoyue. What could it mean? It meant that this was a trap! Long Haochen unconsciously blurted out, Yue Ye! Right, Yue Ye was definitely the issue. He didnt expect this to really be a trap, nor had he thought any issue could arise with Yue Ye. This instant, his whole body was drenched in sweat. But even in such an unfavorable situation, Long Haochen still preserved his calm. He did not hesitate at all to immediately transfer his spiritual energy and mental force with all his might into the Eternal Melody in front of his chest. An intense bright light instantly arose on his chest, wrapping his whole group inside. Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope was naturally aware of what he was doing, rushing to his side. They clearly had no thoughts of responding: since Vassago had appeared there, he had clearly anticipated their arrival, so their n was already a failure. Ths being the case, they could only leave as fast as possible. As long as they could return to the Tower of Eternity, they could have a chance to make aeback in the future. The bright light vanished rapidly, and how about the group? Vassago calmly looked at the Eternal Melody activated by Long Haochen, but didnt show any intent to stop him. His look was still as calm, but also leaked small traces of sadness and disappointment. His face was obviously pale, and he couldnt help but cough lightly. The bright light disappeared, but the group was still in ce. Long Haochen, Caier, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan and the rest were still on the same spot, standing in front of the Star Demon God. They were not teleported, or anything like that. No good! The look on their faces changed, as Han Yu swiftly charged at the gate of the Star Demon Pagoda. Although they didnt know what Vassago did for the teleportation to fail, their inability to teleport away was clearly due to the location. Everyone understood that their ns led them to an unredeemable trap. But even at such a time, they still had to struggle, and couldnt let even the slightest hope escape. _Bang_. Han Yu struck the door violently, but his body was just repelled back even faster. A soft dark golden gloss then shone in the whole Star Demon Pagoda. All the dark golden inscriptions on the ground and the walls lit up brightly this instant, and illuminated the whole Star Demon Pagoda lightly. They couldnt sense any trace of darkness element in these fantastic elemental fluctuations, but this instant, Long Haochen had clearly sensed that they were already trapped in a sort of cage, a cage from which they had no means of escape. Their mood was at its lowest level. This instant, Long Haochen had already understood that on this day, they had absolutely no way to escape. But he did not understand how they fell into such an inconceivable trap. I can understand your unresignedness and iprehension. The Star Demon God Vassago spoke lightly, You are undoubtedly a high level existence among humans, and even if you are going to die here on this day, you can be proud of your own death. Thats because in order to avoid any ident in killing you, nearly all the forces from my n were transferred. This n was already in motion since the start of the Holy War; a n that involved dozens of millions of individuals. Even if you were even smarter, even more capable and even more blessed in light elemental mastery, you would still have no way to leave from my Star Demon Pagoda. In there, your ns havee to their end. Long Haochen took a deep breath, actually calming down in these desperate straits. As it is said, nothing is more wretched than apathy. He already understood that such a grandiose demonic n couldnt possibly leave him with the slightest chance. Since things were like that, even if he would die here, that will be after doing his utmost in a struggle against the enemy, doing his utmost to give the most value possible to his death. So, things were like that. Long Haochens voice became just as indifferent as he looked at the Star Demon God floating in front of them. Vassagos look seemed to contain a lot of praise, You deserve to know the whole process. You are the only human who could possibly qualify for us to do such things. The instant of your entrance in the Star Demon Pagoda, this n was at its perfection. But I have known that this would happen since long ago. I had seen it all a few years ago. Do you think that Yue Ye fooled you? That she drew you into this trap? Vassago interrogated with a smile. His tone had lost its apathy, and grown a great deal angrier. Long Haochen asked coldly, Could it not be the case? Vassago shook his head, Of course not. If she was lying to you so far, how could you not have found out with your senses so sharp? At least you would subconsciously have had some feelings of danger. But right because everything was real, you were finally fooled. Yue Ye was just a portion of this n. Even now, she does not know that you have fallen into this trap that mobilized our races whole forces. Long Haochen was slightly shaken, Yue Ye did not fool us, and was also one of the fooled parties? And you knew about our rtion of coboration beforehand. Vassago shook his head once again, There is nothing we are not aware of. She may think she concealed herself well, but in the end, her Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce is not a united thing. Actually, making her believe what we wanted her to wasnt hard; the hard part , because a gods chosen one such as you has a great perception of danger, was to make you believe that your n was going totally against our expectations as you advanced here, step by step. Any adaptation of our moves to your ns would have greatly aroused your alertness. And I believe that you are a prudent human: if there were traces of danger, your ns would be basically cancelled, am I wrong? Long Haochen indifferently replied, But I have still fallen for your trap. Vassago responded, Thats because this trap was more than perfect. Everything you have encountered appeared totally real, including the part when Yue Ye told you that my cultivation was reduced to a tenth of its peak power. His Majesty the Demon God Emperor and the Moon Demon God also brought out the demon armies to the Exorcist Mountain Pass for real. This Holy War was also made real just for your sake. Thebination of so many real facts couldnt be doubted in your eyes. Which is why you are here right now. Long Haochen had a nk look, But isnt it a fact that your strength is only at a tenth of its peak? Even if I cannot summon Haoyue, even if I cannot bring him here, and am unable to destroy your demon god pir, just killing you will be enough to make our death worth it. Vassago showed a faint smile, You are wrong. The trade is not worth it at all for your side. Exchanging my life for yours is actually a profit for my race, a great profit. Thats because you are the only possible threat to our existence that has ever arisen over the past six thousand years since our descent into Shengmo Dalu. If we let you keep growing, there will be a day that you will be a real threat to my race. This is why I used the Great Prophecy Technique at the cost of my life expectancy, to unleash a real Great Prophecy Technique. I have seen a lot, a real lot. Even if that was at the cost of a hundred years of life expectancy, this was worth it for the future of demons. I have seen your astonishing growth speed, seen the sight of you killing my kin, and seen the process of youing here inevitably after stopping at the Exorcist Mountain Pass. For sure, I wasnt able to grasp everything clearly, and even experienced obscure changes in the great prophecies after you arrived there. But I have been able to sense that this was the only chance we had to kill you, and to kill Austin Griffin. If this did not turn out sessful, the next sight would be the doom of my race. So no matter what, you wont ever leave from here. You are the one chosen by the Goddess of Light Actually, you alone wouldnt be sufficient to be such an enormous threat for our race. And, actually, we only have to kill Austin Griffin and no more. Even with our absolute strength, we are still unwilling to face him, because he is the only one to have the ability to breach the protective barrier we have erected. We are unwilling to let the slightest risk appear. So with you here, he just cannote. And as long as you die, even if his blood was even stronger, the only fate for him is to follow yours. You were the one to bring him in this world, so his life can only terminate alongside yours. Dont you want to know what he is? Why we dread him to such an extent, and not only me, but even His Majesty as well? Chapter 628 - Star Demon Tower (III)

Chapter 628: Star Demon Tower (III)

Trantor: GravityTales I dont want to know! Long Haochen suddenly shouted, moving his sword rhythmically. His left feet tapped the ground, and rushed forward like an immense white dragon, sweeping the Sword of Creation and Life at the Star Demon God. After falling to this trap and hearing the exnation of the Star Demon God Vassago, he understood that they would hardly escape safely on this day. But even if there was only a slight opportunity, he had to make the Star Demon God share the same fate. At the same time that Long Haochen burst forward, all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope broke out at the same time with their most powerful attack, focusing everything on the Star Demon God Vassago. Facing their sudden offense, Vassago didnt show the slightest reaction, just shaking his head with a smile on his face, Youngsters, dont you understand? As he spoke, an indescribable feeling of terrible might spread out from all directions, making them feel totally empty of strength, an earth shaking oppressive might. All the offensive abilities and spiritual energy were crushed instantly, and that instant, Long Haochen was suppressed instantly in midair. In a sonorous sh, the Sword of Creation and Life in his hand pulsed violently in an incandescent radiance which rolled up backwards, trying to protect his body. But alongside his sword, he also was violently smashed to the ground. Two figures silently appeared on the Star Demon Vassagos two sides. The person on the right, measuring about two meters, was d in a purplish golden traditional robe. His long hair draped with a headband and his thin eyebrows gave off a very feminine feeling. His pair of purple eyes was faintly dispersing dark golden light, and in the midst of his forehead, a quarter of moon shaped design was visible. That was the Star Demon God Agares. The person on the right, slowly retracting his right hand, didnt have such imposing looks. Roughly measuring 1.9 meters, his waterfall-looking ck hair floated on his back and formed a ck wheels shape. On his gorgeous ck traditional robe were faintly glinting purple symbols. His skin looked close to pale, and his blue eyes seemed reminiscent of the cosmos starlight. His looks were not as good as the Moon Demon God Agares, and his air of mystery was below the Star Demon God Vassago. But just by floating there, he gave off a feeling of ultimate supremacy, making both Agares and Vassago only look like minor characters in contrast. Right, thats the ruler of the present age, chief of the Defying Devil Dragons and number one demon god, Demon God Emperor Fengxiu. The instant he appeared, Vassago naturally straightened his posture, and ced himself alongside Agares behind Fengxiu. The numbers one, two, and three top demon gods were gathered in front of all the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Thats him His aura! He actually came personally! Its over, Haochens group is done for! Hahahaha, wasnt that what I wanted to see? But was that really what I wanted to see? Tears were dropping without control on the grey haired persons face, whose body shook violently, but without any longer, disappeared instantly in the air in a sh of light. All Long Haochen and every single one of hisrades had totally grim faces. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu actually showed up here; the instant of his appearance, Long Haochen came to understand that everything Vassago had just said was truth, and not an attempt to stall for time. Before Vassago meticulously described the process of his Great Prophecy, Long Haochen had the eventual hope that it was only Vassago who had detected their arrival, and intentionally kept guard in front of his demon god pir, and that this barrier was originally from the Star Demon Pagoda. But he came to realize that hisst hope was just an illusion. This was truly thend of burial the Demon God Emperor had arranged for them. Turning back, Long Haochen stooped toward hisrades, his eyes filled with countless emotions. Boss, I have no regrets. The day I became a Demon Hunter, I was resolved for that day. Sima Xianughed heartily, vigorously waving the Gigantic Ball of Light in his hand. Boss, we couldnt be born at the same time, but we will die together. This lifetime was worth it. Han Yu howled with deep red eyes. Lin Xinughed gently, Boss, in our next life, can we be brothers and keep teaming up together? I need you to keep leading us, even if it has to go like that time I made you give that promise so shamelessly. Wang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, Boss, from the time the Soul Sharing Chains have linked us for the first time, we have been one. This operation was a shared decision of all of us. Even in death, we have already killed an uncountable number of demons. This ends just a few days early. Zhang Fangfang on the side held Wang Yuanyuans slim and flexible waist, Yuanyuan, I only want to hold you now. Dying by your side is my honor. In the other world, would you be willing to marry me? Chen Yingerughed mockingly, Brother Fangfang, you are actually choosing to propose in here. What an original approach! If I knew earlier, I would have brought Wenzhao a bit earlier. Ayy, what a shame! Boss, how about making me a mistress in the otherworld. Youre far better than that guy Yang Wenzhao. Only Caier remained silent, looking foolishly at Long Haochen. Her eyes were rippling lightly, and her body was lightly shaking. Long Haochen stepped forward and softly held Caier, sweeping his gaze past the whole group. Making apologies would have no meaning now. As your captain, what I can dost is to be the first one to die. No one is allowed to fight over this, its an order. Fighting alongside you all was the greatest honor of my life! After saying this, Long Haochen let go of Caier and drew ast step back, putting force into his right fist, he thumped on his chest behind the Golden Foundation Armor which made a deafening noise. Even the solid Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier had a small dent form. Amidst loud sounds, all members from Bright Glimmer of Hope made a salute of response to Long Haochen. Abruptly turning back, he faced the three demon gods in the air. Taking a deep breath, he feltpletely serene. His eyes flickered coldly, nodding to the Demon God Emperor, Thank you. These thanks were addressed for the time for hisrades and him to bid farewell, because during their talks, the three greatest demon gods were only watching calmly, showing no intention of moving. This isnt our first time meeting, right? Fengxiu looked at Long Haochen with traces of sadness in his eyes. Long Haochen was faintly startled, You know about me? He understood that there was no escape today, but his posture became even straighter. He was a knight, and no matter the time, a knights spirit can never die out. The Demon God Emperor replied calmly, The first time I have met you was in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. At that time, I had gotten from Allocer and the other two that Austin Griffin had very possibly appeared and I left to investigate personally. At that time, I came to sense your existence in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Long Haochen was astonished, At that time Your Majesty became aware of me among such a crowd? At that time he was still very weak, and his constitution as Scion of Light was still very far from awakening as a gods chosen one. With so many powerhouses there, how could the Demon God Emperor take notice of him. Fengxiu showed a tranquill smile, Thats because you are different from others. Unfortunately at that time, Austin Griffin concealed his aura in you, which is why I couldnt discover him. Otherwise you wouldnt need to die: hed be the only one to die. Long Haochen showed a stubborn stance, Killing him is no different from killing me. Fengxiu looked at Long Haochen, So simr! I like your character;pared to you, AhBao is so much more stubborn whilecking charisma. What a shame, such a shame! Reaching this point, his sad look deepened. The second time meeting you should have been in the Moon Demon Pce. You youngsters, what a thing! You actually made such a mess in Agares Moon Demon Pce, I was almost about to make a move back then. But for the sake of catching you all in this inescapable trap, we just looked on helplessly at your release of a forbidden spell devastating the Moon Demon Pce. You can stand proud on this fact alone. Long Haochen showed a calm look. He did not understand why the Demon God Emperor did not move at all until now, and was telling him all that. Was that the phenomenon of the cat rejoicing after catching the mouse? As if he did not perceive the indignation in Long Haochens eyes, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu continued, At that time, you were on Yue Yes side, so actually, even without Vassagos Great Prophecy, I knew about your close rtionship with her. But, be at ease, I already gave Agares the promise to not take it out on her. After all, shes the most intelligent talent in the whole Moon Demon n, she just took the wrong road. For her to get attracted by you is nothing I find unexpected. The fury in Long Haochens eyes disappeared. He understood clearly that with the Demon God Emperors status, he would surely keep any promise he makes. Since he said he wouldnt punish Yue Ye, she was naturally going to be safe. This made him feel quite a bit better, after all Yue Ye was also a victim, he himself being the very cause. After that time, I came to hear more information regarding you many more times. Our third encounter should be in the Illusory Pce, where I tore space to rescue AhBaos group. Actually, I was astonished at that time. AhBaos strength was not so great at that time, but he should not have been someone you could resist against. Chapter 629 - I will give you this honor (I)

Chapter 629: I will give you this honor (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # The Demon God Emperor had a warm-looking gaze. His looks were really young, looking just a bit older than Long Haochen. At the very moment, he seemed like an older brother chatting with Haochen. I was really shocked that time, and that was the first time I felt that you were a threatening existence. Unfortunately, I still did not know that you were the one chosen by Austin Griffin at that time, bringing him into this world. Thats until AhBao reported this information about you, along with the fact that Austin Griffin had already grown four heads. Then I came to realize that the one who would cause our future destruction was actually you. Long Haochen coldly remarked, So youunched the Holy War putting the people in a terrible situation. The Demon God Emperor responded indifferently, No matter how unwilling to kill you I was, your very existence threatens my races safety, so I had no other choice. Mercifulness doesnt fit a general, especially a races head like me. Even if AhBao was the one sheltering Austin Griffin, I would have made the same choice. For the sake of making youe here, I was forced to put on a y with Agares, but I knew long before that the Holy War would show no results. It was just for the sake of consuming the human force. What a shame, unlike me, you are no ruler, and wont ever understand what a ruler has to give up on, and what he has to choose. Long Haochen dered, If you hadnt personally put on such a y, how could we be fooled? By attracting us here with such an irresistible bait, you seeded. To keep speaking would do no good, now do what you ought to! The Demon God Emperor shook his head, letting out a light sigh, Listen to me until the end. I have no desire to kill you, but just no other choice. I want to do onest thing for you. By killing you, Austin Griffin will naturally die in his own world and my goal will be attained. I will let yourrades go so you can at least die at ease. Majesty! On his side, Agares couldnt help but shout loudly. Long Hoachen was not the only excellent person in his Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope! In this Demon Hunt Squad were two other gods chosen ones, and almost all gods chosen ones in Shengmo Dalus history inflicted them with terrible damage. In such desperate straits when gods chosen ones have still notpletely grown, letting these enemies with unbounded potential go was the release of young humans with future endless rancor, nothing less than future cmities stored up. Shut up! Fengxius look suddenly became cold, and an iparable aura of terror burst out from him, keeping Agares from saying the words he still had. This was an undoubtable disy of the Defying Devil Dragon Emperors might. Agares, who had a pale face, lowered his head respectfully and didnt dare utter a word. Fengxiu coldly swept a nce at Agares, No one is to question my decisions. I ept Your Majestys punishment. Agares hanged his head low. In a wave of his hand, Fengxiu reappeared in front of Long Haochen, paying no more attention to Agares. Although he knew fully that the Demon God Emperor wouldnt give empty words, Long Haochen couldnt help but lose his voice, You Are you for real? You are willing to let myrades go? After learning earlier that they had fallen into this trap, Long Haochen and hisrades had already made the resolve to die. But now, the Demon God Emperor was suddenly dering he was willing to let go of hisrades. This was an immeasurable pleasant surprise in his ears. I never take back my words. Fengxiu slowly shut his eyes as he said so. Long Haochen was unfamiliar with this Demon God Emperor, but the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God were extremely familiar with Fengxiu. The Star Demon God Vassago did not express anything, but the Moon Demon God Agares was in secret shock, because he knew that the Demon God Emperor would only show this expression when in an extreme internal conflict. Even after having followed the Demon God Emperor for so many years, this kind of situation happened only a few times, and it was now taking ce in front of an enemy he must kill. Boss, we want to stay with you in life as well as death. Behind Long Haochen, almost everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope spoke these words in unison. Long Haochen suddenly broke out in anger, Drivel! Dont tell me you think your lives are mine? From the day you became Demon Hunters, your lives belong to the Alliance. His body was sligthly shaking, as he deeply watched the group attentively, Still remember those words I told Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi? Live on, and you will have the chance to take revenge for yourrades in the future. But if you die, you wont ever have any chance. Death is not a fearful thing, but if you follow me just like that, I wont ever forgive you even from the other side, because thats the act of a coward. I will always keep watching you from an unseen world, until the day that youe back to this Modu Core City. If you still recognize me as your captain, dont do foolish things. I am ordering each of you from Bright Glimmer of Light to keep living and take revenge for me in battle in a short time. Seeing his stubborn look, the eyes of the others watching him gradually became red. Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope unconsciously shuddered from the emotions. Right, to die was a very simple thing, but to keep living was even harder. No!! Caier suddenly let out a shout close to hysteria, fiercely throwing herself on Long Haochens embrace, but without leaving her any time to give voice, Long Haochens hand noiselessly pinched her neck. With a light groan, Caier slowly fell limp on the ground. Two clear drops flowed along Long Haochens face as the various memories starting from his encounter with Caier shed incessantly. He remembered clearly about the first time he met Caier, as she was still a little girl. He reminisced clearly on every moment he spent with Caier. Every one of them shed through. The happiest moments of his life were probably the times of sending off Caier every day during his participation in the Demon Hunter Selection, pulling her hand and slowly walking on the streets. But this couldnt happen again anymore. He knew that he could convince the other members, who would righteously obey his ns, but he had no way to convince Caier, so he could only force her into a calm state first. Lowering his head and lightly kissing her forehead, then her fair cheeks, his feelings of reluctance to part were clearly visible in the eyes of all members from Bright Glimmer of Hope. Captain! Lin Xin, who was long since unable to bear his tears, called out loudly. Shut up! Long Haochen shouted. He obviously knew what Lin Xin wanted to say, but he couldnt let him do that. After he managed to make the others press down their feelings with such difficulty, if they were ignited anew, he had no confidence to make everyone calmly ept the iing tragedy. Long Haochen didnt look at the others any further, but lowered his head, directing all hisst emotion to Caier in his arms. Foolish girl, how could I look at you doing such a stupid thing? Did you know, I really hope you can once again lose your memories after leaving from here. Forget about me and about all this pain. Sorry that I cannot stay by your side until growing old. Saying that, he delicately took off her the blue forget-me-not ring, flickering a dark gold color inside the Star Demon Pagoda. Long Haochen put it on Caiers finger then softly kissed her cheek once again. With a stride forward, he handed her over to Wang Yuanyuan. Raising his head to give another look to the group, he saw them all teary, their eyes all filled with grim sadness. Dont be sad. I already feel blessed and happy that you can all leave from here alive. Remember this: live well. From the other side, I will be waiting for you all to take revenge for me. My soul will be watching over you. I have ast request for you all; no matter what, dont let Caier take revenge impatiently. You must keep her alive, even if you have to knock her out after she awakes. Just dont let her do anything stupid. Wang Yuanyuan epted Caier and nodded vigorously. Even someone as strong as her was unable to bear her tears, totally speechless. To die could be an easy thingpared to living on. They really hoped to share Long Haochens fate here, but understood deeply that Long Haochen was right. They were Demon Hunters, whose lives were already not their own anymore but the Alliances, and all humanitys. They couldnt die here like that, as they were the only ones who could take revenge for Haochen in the future. Abruptly turning his head, Long Haochen didnt dare look at Caier further, afraid to be unable to repress his inner feelings any longer. Lowering his head, he murmured to himself, Sorry Haoyue, I couldnt protect you, and had to implicate you in my dying fate. If theres a next life, I am willing to make one with you, so that we can stay good brothers this next lifetime. Saying that, he abruptly raised his head, forcibly throwing off his tears. Raising his head and shutting his eyes, he turned toward the Demon God Emperor who never stopped him from bidding hisst farewells to hisrades. Your Majesty Demon God Emperor, although we are enemies, I thank you for being willing to let myrades go. But I just have ast request that I hope you can grant me. Fengxiu replied calmly, Speak. Long Haochen showed some pride on his face, and dered loudly, I am a knight from the Knight Temple, who has grown learning a knights essence. As a knight who couldnt protect hisrades well, I must die here today, but as a knight, I hope that you could let me die in a fitting way, as I am unwilling to face a cowardly end. I want to challenge you. Chapter 630 - I will give you this honor (II)

Chapter 630: I will give you this honor (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # I want to challenge you! Those simple words from Haochens mouth were resonating with force. The heretofore extremely serene Star Demon God Vassago couldnt help but reveal astonishment after hearing his statement. For him to have the courage to say such a thing in such desperate straits, and when facing such an irresistible enemy, he couldnt help but gain a whole new level of respect for Long Haochen. Alright. The Demon God Emperor shouted abruptly, shutting his eyes. Two resplendent cold mes surged from these eyes gazing at Long Haochen ardently. A deep sadness and appreciation could be seen in those eyes: thisplex expression now carried a tint of resolution. You deserve to be called someone I care about. I will give you this honor, the Demon God Emperor said loudly, and in a sh, his figurended twenty meters away from Long Haochen. Long Haochen ced his right fist on his chest, striking it in the middle, and showed the Demon God Emperor a knight salute, Thank you. I hope you will abide by your promises. Xiufeng gave Long Haochen a deep nce, If I had the choice, Id rather hope that you wouldnt die here. But its alreadyte to say that. You should realize that asking to die by my hand is also a matter of terrible cruelty. I will be killing with my own hands my own At this point, he cut his speech, bing silent. An unnatural looking smile then appeared on his face, There are some matters you should better not learn. I hope you can die without any regrets. Come with your strongest attack, so that I can see just what level you have finally reached. Long Haochen nodded. Right now, he didnt have any more tears falling, only strong attachment. A strong attachment of his very own. Standing here, Long Haochen didnt immediately make a move. Seemingly in a mystical state, his eyes gradually gained a grim look. The prating golden color of his eyes had just be pure beyondpare. A faint light fog arose around his body, shrouding him in a totally white fog. Long Haochens Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which were previously separated were slowly lifted above his head, and Yating re-appeared behind him. As Long Haochens elemental fairy, in case Long Haochen died, due to her close link with him shed hardly survive. But the current Yating didnt have any sad look, only a look of tenderness and dedication. She didnt give a single look to the Demon God Emperor, focusing her gaze from beginning to end on Long Haochen himself, unwilling to waste time with any other matter. Orange and green crossed in midair, as the gold colored Yating became the catalyst for their fusion. A brilliance full of white heat filled with intense divine aura once again ascended from this Star Demon Pagoda, and became one with the white fog surrounding Long Haochens body, bursting out with intense incandescent mes. Without a doubt, the Long Haochen currently reached the greatest peak he had ever attained in his life. Even his eyes had turned into an incandescent color. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu watched Long Haochen attentively. The look on his eyes didnt change from beginning to end; the sadness and appreciation in his eyes was pulsing from the deepest parts. Long Haochen moved, his left feet striding forward abruptly. The heavy sword grasped in his hands struck slowly; his movement looked very slow, but looking at this sword strike, even powerhouses of the Moon Demon God and Star Demon Gods levels couldnt help but react in alert. Long Haochens sword did not follow any trajectory, only full of dedicated sword intent. This was not a sword intent of terrible might, but it was impossible to dodge, harmonizing with that divine tool Sword of Creation and Life which had already surpassed the level of an ordinary divine tool. The sword intent inside that sword of his had already risen to the peak, and that instant, he acheived a state ofmunion with the sword. He was his sword, and his sword was him in the meantime. His sword and he were made one in the truest meaning. Fengxiu did not move, only calmly looking at Long Haochen as his sword slowly approached the top of his head. The interior of the whole Star Demon Pagoda already had turned into an incandescent color due to Long Haochens sword strike, and massive fluctuations of spiritual energy moved rhythmically in the air. All the darkness essence was actually crushed upon contact with Long Haochens sword, and even the Star Demon God surrounded himself with starlight that instant, involuntarilyunching his powerful aura to resist all the holy light spiritual energy contained in his sword. At Long Haochens back appeared slowly a pure white image, the Goddess of Light. This sword strike looked simple, but already contained everything Long Haochen had. His divine tool, God Descent, sword intent, and all his will and spiritual energy. That was his strongest state since birth, and very possibly his final attack. The Demon God Emperor showed a slight emotional reaction, slowly waving his right hand. His movement appeared slow, and as he moved, not the slightest elemental essence was released, giving off the feeling that he was just an all the more ordinary person, simply and unhurriedly lifting his hand. Fengxiu slowly pointed one of his fingers forward, and that finger as fair as any females nimbly made contact with the sharp end of the Sword of Creation and Life. But with this bit, all the incandescence instantly dispersed. No release of mighty darkness essence in the Star Demon Pagoda followed, but just from that, Long Haochens body shook violently. The terrifying sword intent finally red out the next instant, but was not directed toward the Demon God Emperor Xiufeng, but dispersed to all directions of the Star Demon Pagoda. The iparably sharp sword intent moved rhythmically all around, making all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope feel as if they had returned to the Deste Hissing Cavern from that time. This re out of sword aura and sword intent gradually dispersed after a whole dozen breaths time, and the incandescent colored brilliance gradually vanished. Fengxiu slowly withdrew his right hand then waved his fingertip forward. Long Haochen still remained in the same position, unmoving. As if his whole person was poured into the previous sword strike, his look was still the same determined one, but appeared totally static. Fengxius fair fingertip leaked a drop of blood, soaked in an intense golden color. Very good, very good. Fengxiu suddenly revealed a smile, arge and hysterical smile. As he howled withughter, the whole Star Demon Pagoda shivered, and the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God couldnt help but stimte their spiritual energy to defend their own bodies. But all the members from Bright Glimmer of Hope sustained its terrifying pressure and were sent flying to the Star Demon Pagodas walls. That instant, Caier was awakened in Wang Yuanyuans arms. Haochen! Right when opening her eyes, Caier immediately shouted. She saw in a nce the unmoving Long Haochen standing there, as well as the Demon God Emperorughing frantically. The Demon God Emperors power was just too terrifying. Even if that was justughter, it suppressed everyone present, making them totally unable to move. Goodbye, youngster. The Demon God Emperorsughter stopped suddenly, and in a wave of his hand, that drop of dark red blood wrapped in intense golden light shot toward Long Haochen like an arrow, marking his chest. _Pop._ In a spurt of blood, a small hole appeared on the location of Long Haochens chest, and immediately, a bursting sound was heard, and a fist sized bloody hole appeared around the area that had been pierced. Strangely, there was not even a single drop of blood. But a bloody hole was left in Long Haochens chest, making it visible that his heart had disappeared. The Golden Foundation Armor was actually of no use at all. No one was able to assist Long Haochen: the restrictions in this Star Demon Pagoda were arranged not by the Star Demon God Vassago, but by the joint effort of the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, the Moon Demon God Agares, and the Star Demon God Vassago. Even a supra divine tools power would be unable to pass through space in there. No... Caier charged forward frantically, but was unable to budge in the slightest due to the unbendable power of suppression released from the Demon God Emperors body. Seeing in person the scene of her beloved mans heart getting smashed, Caier instantly felt totally nk. As a mouthful of blood was spurted out from her mouth, she lost consciousness in Wang Yuanyuans embrace. A nk space, full of memories. Shattering sounds resounded in Caiers brain, and bit by bit, all kinds of memories surged in Caiers mind. _Are you okay?_ __ _I cant speak, bad people are chasing me, they will arrive soon. Sister, save me!_ __ _It is brother, not sister._ __ _I feel their presence, they will arrive soon. They can track my scent. Go, quickly! Otherwise, it will be toote!_ __ _Out of the question! As a man, I must protect you._ _Little sister, where are you going? Ill help you._[c] _Theres no need._ _Let me help you, please. I will escort you home._ _I told you theres no need._[d] _Hey_ __ _Can you escort me for a little while, please?_ _Yeah._ _Where do you live?_ _250 meters forward, then 120 meters after turning right and, finally, well arrive 60 meters after turning left._ _You, whats your name?_ _Eh?_ _My name is Long Haochen. How about you?_ _My name is Caier._ [c]Chapter 80: Caier, the blind girl (II) [d]Chapter 81: Caier, the blind girl (III) Chapter 631 - I will give you this honor (III)

Chapter 631: I will give you this honor (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Caier, for how long are you staying in Holy City? Why are you asking this? I I just want to know for how many more days I can keep sending you off.[a] Im just a blind girl. Is sending me off really such an important thing? I I dont know! Im not a burden for you? How could you be a burden for me? Caier, actually I am really very ugly. Seeing that I am so ugly, how could I think of you like a burden? Very ugly? Yes, very ugly. Then are you willing to keep holding my hand forever? I am willing. Let me help you. Let me go. This is our home. Caier, I promise that I will make a warm home for you. Our home![b] Yeah. Idiot, what are you waiting for before giving me some clothes to wear? Yeah. No peeking![c] Yeah. She just remembered everything, the whole time they spent together, every part of the process. And all the memories, be it before or after her amnesia, instantly merged as one. Tears were flowing from Caiers eyes; seeing Haochens heart destroyed, she felt as if it was her own heart that was destroyed. Her tears were mildly red colored, and gradually turned bright red. Long Haochens body swayed lightly, falling slowly to the ground. That strong will in his eyes didnt disappear from beginning to end; the instant he issued that challenge to the Demon God Emperor, he had cut the Soul Sharing Chains link, and as his body toppled over, his eyes were looking at Caiers direction and slowly closing. From Caiers point of view, his look was just as gentle. Even while closing his eyes, he seemed to be expressing his everything to Caier. There was a thin grief, but mostly encouragement, as if telling Caier to survive, and live courageously. Long Haochen had just died, closing his eyes contentedly. With the promise made by the Demon God Emperor, hisrades would be able to leave alive from there, and this was already enough in his eyes. Trapped in such desperate straits, he was already satisfied that the others would leave alive from there. In the instant he copsed, he came to read far too many things in Caiers eyes. He saw all kinds of things from the past, saw that coldness and warmth belonging to Caier alone. She finally recovered her memories! Long Haochen felt extremely unwilling; even at the instant of his death, he was still unwilling to see Caier in such a painful and unwilling state. So he shut his eyes, and revealed a thin smile on his face. _Bam._ Long Haochens body fell heavily to the ground. Mysteriously, that prated area on his chest didnt leak out any blood. His whole body sank heavily in darkness, and everything instantly became distant. He only felt as if flying far in the midst of darkness, feeling very cozy, as if all his worries and duties had broken away at once. He just felt very light, heading to a direction with only endless rxation... All the looks on the faces of the Demon Hunters from Bright Glimmer of Hope became dull. They were gazing at Long Haochens direction, unable to even let out tears. It seemed as if time had stopped perpetually on that instant. They wanted to shout, cry bitterly, yell, but were unable to let out the slightest sound. That captain who had led them unhindered over the continent through countless experiences of life or death, Long Haochen, the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple, gods chosen one, Scion of Light, had left them forever. Long Haochens corpse was lying unmoving, still showing a smiling face. But it was as if he had taken away all spirit from every member of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Every single one of them had turned close to zombies on that instant. The Demon God Emperors Fengxius look was also lifeless, calmly looking at Long Haochen lying on the floor. From the finger he had just used, drop after drop of blood flowed and dropped to the ground. Just as it seems, he was wounded. Although he hadnt used any of his own abilities or equipment, the Demon God Emperor reaching a spiritual energy of one million and unequalled in the continent got his finger wounded by Long Haochensst sword strike. The looks of the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God also froze, but deep in their hearts, they let out deep breaths of relief. This person, Austin Griffins blood contractor, finally died. The demons threat, that heavenly wrath they feared beyondpare, was finally gone. In a world of ck and red. An immense figure was crawling in a cave, his six heads all looking upwards. The surroundings were a mess in this firm cave, and he had countless bruises all over his body. His six heads were still looking up high, but all the eyes on all his heads leaked purple blood. His aura was fading bit by bit, while the amethyst colored scales on him also gradually lost their luster. In the midst of unwilling howls reverberating inside a cave, his six heads which up to now were held high dropped unwillingly. All the pressure was obliteratedpletely in an instant. The Demon Hunters from Bright Glimmer of Hope fell to the ground one after another, but still dazedly remained on the ground, all their looks still gathered on this youth lying on the ground, still smiling but without an ounce of life left. Abruptly freeing herself, Caier forced herself to stand on the ground. Her face was already empty of tears. At that moment, memories of the times that he took the enemies attack for her one time after another echoed inside her. Her body was shaking violently in unwillingness, and her aura grew further and further in intensity in the midst of her shaking. Taking one staggering step forward after another, Caier advanced toward him, until she tumbled onto him. Her hand was lifted lightly, falling on that handsome face and touching it. _Hes dead, my Haochen is dead..._ How could you part from me like that... Caier murmured lightly, Idiot, I just remembered I just remembered everything about us! You are my idiot, how could you die and leave me alive? Didnt you say that you would protect me for a lifetime as my Guardian Knight? How could you just die like that? _Ding._ In a light buzz, Long Haochens chest swayed, and a golden object came to view on the left side of the Golden Foundation Armor. That was a small golden skull, the Eternal Melody which was embedded long ago on his chest and that Long Haochen had never been able to struggle free from. Now that he was dead, the Eternal Melody finally parted from him, separating from his body. As the key to the Tower of Eternity, it had no obligation to guard a dead person, so it chose to leave. Caier grabbed that golden skull almost instantly; her body couldnt refrain from shaking, but that instant, she suddenly became stiff for a short period of time, before she threw herself on Long Haochen in loud sobs. Get lost, all of you just get lost! The Demon God Emperor standing in silence suddenly broke out in the kind of state of hysteria he had just before entering, bellowing these words frantically. The gate of the Star Demon Pagoda opened abruptly, and a gale blew suddenly and engulfed every of the Demon Hunters as well as Long Haochens corpse, expelling them outside of the Star Demon Pagoda. Spread my order that no demon is allowed to stop them from leaving from Modu Core City. No one is to chase after him, or his whole n will be wiped out. The Demon God Emperors cold voice broke out suddenly, and his terrifyingly formidable mental force abruptly spread to the whole Modu Core City in a burst. The terrifying might that was unleashed that instant made all the demons in Modu Core City crawl in fear, not daring to budge. Right, their almighty emperor was furious, and almost every one of the Demon God Emperors bursts of fury would be the trigger of a cmity. In a fierce wave of his hand, the Star Demon Pagoda closed its gate, and at that very moment, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu had to takerge gasps to breathe. Looking upwards, his chest undted violently. These terrifying magic fluctuations made the Moon Demon God Agares and Star Demon God Vassago alert, and they shivered slightly. A Demon God Emperor in an unstable mood was an absolutely terrifying thing. Even killing the two of them would not be an impossible thing for him. Fengxius fists were clenched, and in the end a dark golden tear drop rolled from the outer side of his eye. Opening his eyes abruptly, he looked toward the Moon Demon God Emperor Agares, Arent you baffled that I have just let these humans off? Agares kept quiet out of fear and didnt dare utter a word. Let me tell you, it is because this young man I have just killed has my blood flowing in his body, and was originally the second sessor I had arranged. From the time of his birth, I didnt do anything for him, and until that day I found out about him, I have not even once meddled with him. But he unfortunately concluded a blood contract with Austin Griffin, so I had to personally kill someone in whom my blood is flowing. Do you understand? All I could do for him was to let him die with the least regrets possible. Agares raised his head abruptly and had an expression full of unbelief. Never did he imagine that this so called Scion of Light and humans future hope Long Haochen actually had the Demon God Emperors blood flowing inside him. That was the Devil Dragon ns royal blood! Vassago didnt mutter a word from beginning to end. As the one who utilized the Great Prophecy Technique, he was the only one aside from the Demon God Emperor to be aware of that rtionship between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor.

Chapter 632: Only One Hope (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Fengxiu suddenly showed a smile, instantly recovering his calm, and dered coldly, The Holy War is over. Agares, go recall all our troops. After all some human blood was flowing in him. Now that he has already died at my hands for the sake of my race, I want none of our troops tounch any active attacks on humans for ten days as a tribute for him. His eyes suddenly turned soft, Child, the instant of your death, you werent aware of the rtionship between you and me. I can only do this much for you. As a human saying stands, even wild beasts look after their young, which is to say that even the worst being in the world wont go kill his own children, his own kin. But I killed you, sacrificing you for the sake of my races longevity. You, my descendant, my very own descendant. HAHA HAHAHAHA! The Demon God Emperors hystericalugh once again shook the Star Demon Pagoda, blowing at once all the seals on it. Barely tough enough, this long-lived building managed to remain without crumbling. _Bam, Bam, Bam._ All members from Bright Glimmer of Hope couldnt help but fall one after another to the ground. The Demon God Emperor had really let them go, but at this time, they only had an endless pain and sadness filling them. Caier held Long Haochens corpse, cing his back on the ground and preventing him from sustaining any shock. Her slim waist suddenly straightened vigorously. Pressing on the Energetic Ball of Light to get up, Sima Xians eyes were very hard. Swinging his weapon backward, he dered, I am going to stake my life against them. Stop it! In a thunderous way, Caiers extremely cold shout stopped Sima Xian stiff. Every member from Bright Glimmer of Hope had their attention pulled, and looked at her all at once. Caier look was filled with an extreme determination and grim aura spreading all around, and was swept coldly at the group, Follow me, all of you. An unquestionable might was contained in her voice. At that very moment, everyone in the team felt just as if that overwhelming Saint Daughter of Samsara of the time of the Demon Hunt Selection was back. Their will could only be affected by Caiers call. Two traces of tears of blood still remained on Caiers face. Seeing her, none of them would possibly oppose her no matter how sad and in pain they were. Right, even if they were in even more pain than that, how could thatpare to Caier? Follow me, all of you. While making this cold order, Caier rose in the sky, tightly gripping Long Haochen, without even avoiding the demon powerhouses that were surrounding this ce for a long time. A pair of grey wings spread out on her back, pushing her body to fly afar. Around the Star Demon Pce, arge quantity of powerhouses from the Devil Dragon n, Moon n, Star n floated in midair, but no one dared move against them. Everyone having heard very clearly the Demon God Emperors words, who would dare oppose them? The deep-purple-armored AhBao was standing calmly on the walls. Seeing Long Haochen held in Caiers arms, his look was actually totally vacant, only feeling as if he had lost something deep in his heart. He was the most aware of how much effort he had expended on these two years, making incessant qualitative leaps in his strength through a very frantic cultivation. But at the moment, he was finding out that his rival wasnt anymore. The Long Haochen held in Caiers arms was visibly lifeless, and the hole in his chest was clearly apparent. _He died, actually killed by fathers hands?_ AhBao didnt have the slightest feeling of rxation, but became instead all the more unwilling. He wanted to defeat him personally, but Long Haochen had died just like that by his own fathers hands. He wasnt qualified to call that act into question, but knew that this was the greatest regret of his lifetime. Now that Long Haochen was dead, he would never have the opportunity to prove his superiority in strength to Yue Ye anymore. Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope released their spiritual wings and followed Caier as they sank into the distance. Her previous teardrops kept falling on his face, and violent undtions were caused in the light emanating from their spiritual wings. Gliding through the air, Caiers look was only concentrated on Long Haochens pale yet bloodless face. He was still as handsome, but just didnt have the slightest trace of life anymore. Her memories had returned, but now he was gone, without even being left the slightest chance to talk with her newborn self. Caier had stopped crying, because she had a final hope deep in her heart, a hope that had appeared the instant she touched Long Haochens body. If not for this thin hope, she would not have let him go off alone no matter what, and would have followed him at any cost. In hurried flight, they left Modus area at rapid speed, leaving behind this city that had filled them with extreme sadness and pain. After flying for about half an hour, Caiers wings suddenly vanished, letting hernd on the ground below. No one in the team understood her act, but still followed her innding. Although Long Haochen had died, their Demon Hunt Squad still maintained the same organizational structure thanks to Zhang Fangfangs presence. Long Haochensst words before his death still kept echoing in them. They couldnt die like that: they had to take revenge for their captain, to return to Modu one day no matter what. This was a forest of low density where Caier kept holding Long Haochen, before cautiously putting him down upon arriving on a twn. Reflexively, everyone in the Demon Hunt Squad surrounded him all around, Chen Yinger immediately bitterly cried out loud, and the rest couldnt stop their tears either. Caier slowlty kneeled to the ground, looking at that blue ring on her finger, _the forget-me-not ring, he actually handed it back to me._ Taking it off lightly, Caier took Long Haochens left hand and put it back on his finger. Idiot, why are you giving it back to me?! It was already yours since long ago, just like my heart. Saying these words, Caier lifted her hand and slowly recovered the pendant Eternal Melody, which was ced back on Long Haochens neck. That golden skull ejected from his chest suddenly flickered with light. In a deep breath, a determined look shed through her eyes as she slowly ced this key of the Tower of Eternity back on her own chest. The instant the Eternal Melody came in contact with her body, it immediately emitted a radiating light. In a swish, that skull got into Caierspel and integrated with her body closely, just like the time it had united with Long Haochen. The Tower of Eternity only wanted one sessor. Now that Haochen had died in the Demon God Emperors trapping barrier, it didnt have any more use to make of him, and obviously looked for a new sessor. This was already unrted to the will of the Slumbering Cmity Elux, as the Tower of Eternity had be even more greedy after obtaining so many souls from this world, gaining a great deal of self-awareness. We are going. Caiers eyes were swept over the surroundingrades. After speaking these words, an intense brilliance burst forth from her chest, just like the times Long Haochen was teleporting them away. Everyone was engulfed inside, and travelled through space in a sh of light. In another sh of light, they appeared in the Tower of Eternity. The Tower of Eternitys intense aura of death was still present, and just then, everyone in Bright Glimmer of Hope had an incredibly grim look. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi who were anxiously waiting for their return until now made haste upon their return. But their footsteps slowed down very rapidly, and the look on their eyes congealed in a split second, because lying on the ground they saw Long Haochen, with a fatal wound on his chest. There wasnt the slightest trace of life left on his pale handsome face. The captain of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, Scion of Light Long Haochen, had died in battle. How could that be? Yang Wenzhao lost his voice at once. Chen Yinger abruptly rushed to his chest, starting to cry very loudly. Duan Yi didnt ask but slowly kneeled down, cing his right fist on his chest and performing a knight salute in front of Long Haochen. Demonkind and humankind had been fighting for six thousand years. Since the fall of the dark age, uncountable humans had died like Long Haochen in front of his eyes. There was nothing more he needed to know: the result was just in front of his eyes; Long Haochen was dead. Caier kneeled and lightly pressed Long Haochens chest, murmuring, Come out, hurry up. Juste out! No one heard her words, but the current Caiers cold eyes were filled with anxiousness. Just as they were all confused, a dark green glow came out without a sound from Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor. This dark green glow looked very mild, as mild as a little mist, that could disappear at anytime. A faint voice was heard from this dark green mist, He is already dead. So my pact with him is gradually dissipating. All I can do is to keep his soul maintained for seven days. But it also means that you have only the time of seven days. There is only one chance, and it lies in this Tower of Eternity. You must seed as this towers sessor, and rely on the profound mysteries of light necromancy to possibly restore his soul and reforge his heart. If he manages to resurrect, my contract in him will reinstate as well, but otherwise, seven dayster his soul will scatter, and be confined in this Tower of Eternity, bound for all eternity. So if you cannot resurrect him within seven days, just bring him out from here, at least that way his soul wont have to keep suffering here. Chapter 633 - Only one hope (II)

Chapter 633: Only one hope (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # As the voice stopped at this point, the green traces disappeared. Right, that was the thin hope of survival that Caier had, which gave her the strength to lead all of Bright Glimmer of Hope to fly away from Modu. The instant she came in contact with Long Haochens corpse, this voice spread to her mind, telling her that Long Haochen still had a hope for survival. So no matter how sad Caier was, she brought Long Haochen away from there, to put him in safety in the Tower of Eternity, in order to find that hope of resurrection. That That voice is... Wang Yuanyuan nkly said. I know! Its that girl from the Illusory Paradise. No mistake, thats her. Lin Xin bounced wildly. Grabbing Lin Xins shoulder, Han Yu excitingly shouted, Yes, yes! Ye Xiaolei! Its her; she has a some kind of contract rtionship with captain, and is the one who came to our aid. So Captain has some hope of revival. Theres a hope! The previous grim atmosphere was swept clean that instant, and everyone regained some hope. But even if they were doing their utmost to wipe their tears away, these tears were not wiped clean by any means. Unlike their previous tears, these were tears of excitement! Even if there was only a little hope, they had to grab it at any cost. Caier tightly embraced Long Haochen and her tears flowed once again. But she didnt keep immersing herself in the sadness, abruptly shouting, Does anyone has a rope or a chain? Sima Xian responded, I do! Then he took out a dark golden chain from his storage ring. This chain reached about five meters length, just like his Gigantic Ball of Lights chain. It was obviously used as a spare one. Caier took this chain, holding Long Haochen in a standing position, as she looked at the top of the first floor of the tower, speaking in a categorical way, Seven days. We only have a time of seven days; in this time, we must climb to the top of the Tower of Eternity and obtain the inheritance of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux.. YesC Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope agreed boisterously. That spurt of vigor gave the group a sort of torrential feeling. I am going too! The same words came almost simultaneously from both Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Their wounds were much better, and although fighting would be a bit difficult, how could they cower at such a time? Caier didnt say much more, only telling the nearby Wang Yuanyuan, Help mey Haochen on my back with this chain. With him fighting alongside us, there is nothing that could possibly stop our advance. Yes! Wang Yuanyuan raised no objection and immediately got to work. The third girl of the group, Chen Yinger, also let go of Yang Wenzhaos embrace, and helped ce Long Haochens body on Caiers back. The tall and robustly built Long Haochen on Caiers back visibly made a baffling scene. His arms and legs had to be wrapped around Caiers body, and in the end his legs had to be coiled around her waist, to bind him firmly. Feeling Long Haochens weight, the determination in Caiers eyes grew even further in intensity. In a sh of gray light, the Sickle of the God of Death appeared in her grasp. Maybe this was due to the recovery of her memories, but the instant it appeared in her hand, the brilliance emitted by this divine tool waspletely different from before. Letting out sts of killing intent, the sickle became even more sparklingly radiating. We are going. Saying that, Caier tookrge strides toward the second floor of the Tower of Eternity. The members of Bright Glimmer of Hope plus Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi on the rear formed a total of nine persons, who stepped up the stairs directly. The trials on the first and second floor were all alreadypleted ahead of time, and they had the four holy guards approval. And now, the four holy guards inside the Eternal Melody on Caiers chest all became her guards. Only, they couldnt give help in their fights inside the Tower of Eternity. After entering the second floor, everyone released their spiritual wings and headed deep ahead. They had never entered the third floor of the Tower of Eternity before: after they came to learn from the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, that Elux had put the human world in a terrible state and was the main cause of their extremely weakened state that followed, the group never kept going up these stairs. But now was different: Caier was taking the ce of Long Haochen to be that sessor, and had to seed at any cost to resurect Long Haochen. They had not only to continue to go ahead, but moreover reach the seventh floor where they would be able to obtain the inheritance of the Slumbering Cmity Elux. So, they didnt dare tarry in the slightest. Seven days, that was all the time they had. If Long Haochen wasnt resurrected by then, they would have no more chance ever again. Now was no time to ponder over the difficulties that would be encountered on the next four floors. Even if they would face trials on the Demon God Emperors level, Caier wouldnt stop their advance. If Long Haochen were to really die, she would definitely follow him in that fate. Very rapidly, they reached the passage from the second to the third floor. Then Caier turned back and looked at herrades following behind her. Han Yu announced her, Caier, until Captain resurects, please be our captain. Issue your orders, and even at the cost of our lives, we will give you our help until the very end. Caier took a deep breath. She didnt voice her thanks, but nodded vigorously, and was the first one to go through the teleporting passage. With a glint, a fantastic teleportation brought the group to the third floor. Right after entering, everyone felt a chill at the same time, as the surrounding atmosphere visibly became sticky. This was a world where they no longer needed to remain afloat, and where they could see just an expanse of darkness. The ground was made of ck bricks and in the sky was a dark purple moon. Upon arriving here, they felt as if they were in another world. And this world seemed endless. As far as the eye can see, there was no end to the scenery, only endless darkness. In the midst of this endless darkness, countless deep purple mes pulsed: these were soulfires, ones characteric of skeleton soldiers. Right, in this third floor of the Tower of Eternity, what came to their sight were an endless sea of skeletons. And they were apanied only by an endless expanse of darkness. In that ce there only existed a darkness essence apanied with a dense deathly stillness. But no matter what the enemies were, all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope only had determination in their eyes. They only had one goal, and that was to go through all the obstructions to resurrect Long Haochen. To the others surprise, Caier didnt immediately break through that sea of skeletons, looking cold and calm, instead of getting in a hysterical state of frenzy. She really wanted to recklessly make her way through, but she couldnt. Thats because she knew that they only had one chance, and couldnt waste the slightest time. So she couldnt go fight blindly, but had to go through all the trials in the shortest time, which was her current objective. In the first and second floor, we were tested by the four great holy guards, whose elements were fire, ice, earth and wind, which are the four most fundamental elements. From how it looks, we are going to face darkness element in this trial of the third floor. As the holy guards had told us before, they are a total of twelve. So the one who will be testing us here is the holy guard of darkness element. The skeletons in the Tower of Eternity are different from the ones from Haoyues world. Everyone has already experienced their strength; so many skeletons are enough to stall us until death. There wont be any end if we try to kill them all, and who knows how long it will take. So we mustnt go kill them blindly, but look for that holy guard of darkness and defeat it to pass through this trial. Caiers clear voice reverberated in the third floor. Her speech gradually calmed down the impetuous others, who found out to their surprise that even without Long Haochensmand, Caier, who became their temporary captain, took that duty perfectly, managing to still remain cool-headed. A feeling of confidence arose in every Demon Hunter from Bright Glimmer of Hope. Right, it was long since the establishment of this Demon Hunt Squad that it revolved around two cores. Only, Caiers brilliance was concealed behind Long Haochen so far. The current Caier was not only the one chosen by the God of Death, but had all her original memories back. With Long Haochen dead and having only one chance of ressurecting him, Caier didnt have the slightest heart to keep concealing and exercising restraint. She had to lead the group with her all to win over thisst chance. Han Yu, Caier called out. Yes. Han Yu stepped forward. Caier ordered, In a bit, we will beunching all out attacks. When the battle starts, that holy guard of darkness concealed in the midst of the skeletons surely wont stay undisturbed. Use the best of your Demonic Eye Commander to find him and lock him down. Yes! Han Yu immediately responded while he summoned the Demonic Eye Commander. Zhang Fangfang, forward. Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi, and Han Yu, behind. The rest goes as usual. Yinger, dont expend your spiritual energy on other summons than McDull. Go!! With herst call, Caier waved the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. Zhang Fangfang stood behind his heavy shield, while moving over toward that sea of skeletons. Chapter 634 - Only one hope (III)

Chapter 634: Only one hope (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The skeletons were all ck, just like this world. The only light produced in this world was that which came out from the soulfire burning in their eyes. When Caiers group moved, the tide of skeletons also moved, flocking endlessly, and holding high various weapons to attack them. Extending the spiritual wings on her back, Caier didnt remain with the team. She originally should be a wandering unit as an assassin. In a sh, she outpaced Zhang Fangfang, and pierced through the frontline, like a sharp dagger thrusting fiercely in the midst of the sea of skeletons. As early as two years ago, they had already passed the trials on the first two floors and could enter the third one but didnt do so at all. Now that they had finally entered, the trial in this third floor should not be too difficult to them. But upon really charging into the sea of skeletons, Caier immediately felt a massive pressure. The trial of this third floor was above the second floor in difficulty by far. This was not just a mere stepping point, but an evenrger test; not a one versus one, but a team battle. In a flicker of grey radiance, arge area of skeletons were reduced to fragments as the Sickle of the God of Death was swept around. In just one strike, Caier extinguished the soulfire of over twenty skeletons, but she could sense that these skeletons actually had the strength of human powerhouses of the sixth step. They didnt have as good battle techniques as the holy guards, but their numbers were simply endless. But right at this time, their strength as a team became visible. Four halos of light spread out almost simultaneously, covering an enormous area. These four golden halos were naturally released by the four Temple Knights in their ranks. Long Haochen was not present, but their team was still formed mostly with knights. And they were all the top of the younger generation of knights: Temple Knights of the seventh step! Four halos released the same ability, the Guardian Knights Halo of Holy Protection. Able to raise the efficiency of any attacks on enemies of darkness attributes, it also weakened the elemental attribute and speed of the targets in question. Because of being used simultaneously by four Temple Knights, this halo managed to cover an area of several hundred square meters. The iing sea of skeleton was greatly slowed down, immediately overpowered by Caier who stood on the frontline. This time, Caiers terrifying offensive strength was fully disyed. Having recovered her memories, she also recovered the whole formation she had as an assassin since her childhood. The Sickle of the God of Death in her hand descended like a real incarnation of death. Gray glints filled with terrifying destructive power came down on the battlefield, breaking arge area of skeletons in pieces everywhere it passed. Under her lead, all Bright Glimmer of Light went through the sea of skeletons at a frightening speed. The Demonic Eye Commander was now floating above Han Yus head, releasing incorporeal waves of mental force through the skeletons ranks, looking for the main culprit behind their creation. Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian defended the sidelines. With Long Haochens death, their hearts had been repressing extreme sorrow and anger, which was all vented out on this sea of skeletons. Their golden and silvery figures alone took out all the enemies on the sidelines, turning into fine powders all the ck skeletons on whom their attacksnded. Lin Xin did not stay idle either. The Fire Cloud Staffunched a Meteor Shower like a magic cannon, indiscriminately bombing the iing skeletons. As they attacked these skeletons, everyone gradually gained some benefits. The same situation as in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity took ce. In the first floor, they didnt encounter too many skeletons, but every one of them supplied with a boost of ten spiritual energy, causing the first burst of growth in the Demon Hunt Squad, surpassing their boundaries to make them the number one Demon Hunt Squad of the younger generation. For now, these skeletons didnt likewise supply ten spiritual energy for each of them, but every one killed boosted their spiritual energy by one unit. Dont look down on this single unit. A single one or two killed made nothing obvious, but all the hundreds of them that were killed provided hundreds of spiritual energy. If Long Haochen hadnt just gotten killed by the Demon God Emperor, they would surely all be cheering for this formidable discovery. There would be no need to actually look for the guard of darkness: they would only need to keep making a killing to greatly increase their spiritual energy. But this was impossible to them now. They had to break through this stage the fastest possible to resurrect their captain in time. Suddenly Caier, who was the deepest in the frontlines just ahead, made a sudden turn in midair, and returned to the midst of herrades formation. Halt! In a low shout, she stuck of Sickle of the God of Death to the ground. An incarnation of death slowly took shape behind her, bing distinct rapidly. Crossing both its hands, a mystical symbol took shape in the hands of that incarnation of death. The symbols were all white and rapidly formed a spherical ring of light, constituted with countless microscopic particles. Caier stepped back while Zhang Fangfang immediately stepped up imposingly, rushing toward therge tide of ck skeleton soldiers. His left feet tread on the ground, and as he kept hold of his shield, the heavy sword in his right hand was held upwards. Zhang Fangfang abruptly shouted loudly, and countless golden glints burst out from his sword, rendering an enormous surrounding area gold colored. Light of Trial. Of course, these skeletons of the sixth step didnt all immediately die under the illumination of Light of Trial, but their soulfire pulsed violently, as they drew back in panic. Some closer ones were smashed to pieces at once, and the surrounding breath of darkness depleted to arge degree. This instant, Caiers spell waspleted. Get purified! These words came out coldly from her mouth, as the incarnation of death condensed in the air spread abruptly. With an extending white halo, those ck skeletons all turned white, rendered motionless. The sudden appearance of arge area of white skeletons in this world of darkness gave off a feeling of extreme strangeness. Immediately, these white skeletons turned into white vapour, rising into the air toward the incarnation of death. Their souls were absorbed in the midst of that expanse of white, making the grey incarnation of death only more substantial. A magnificent grey armor covered his whole body, seemingly every piece of the armor was formed with sharp des glittering sparklingly. The only area unclear to view was its face, looking as hazy as the night, abstruse beyondpare. Caier soared once again in a movement, appearing in front of Zhang Fangfang. Waving the Sickle of the God of Death, she returned to lead herrades to keep fighting. In the mere previous instant, she had purified over a thousand ck skeletons, raising her spiritual energy by over a thousand units as well. This moment, the distant ck skeletons came to a sudden stop, getting out the way and forming a passage. This instant, the ck skeletons all quieted down and immediately, tinkling sounds of a horses hooves rose. These tters became more and more distinctly heard. A stalwart figure came to the groups view. This stalwart figure was entirely d in ck armor, mounted on a huge horse armored as well. The two of them dispersed a dark purple htion, and upon his appearance, the dark essence in the air immediately rose sharply. In an area extending to a hundred meters around him, dark purple blossoms of light were seen rising up. Coming out on his own? This ck knighting to view should be the one testing them. The trials in the Tower of Eternity were hard, but certainly not impossible to pass. If the ck skeletons in here were really inexhaustible, even a powerhouse of the level of the Demon God Emperor would sooner orter be stalled to death. So these inexhaustible skeletons were only a kind of preemptive test toward them. Because a certain amount of ck skeletons were killed, this ck knight which was very possibly the eighth holy guard appeared as a matter of fact in front of them. Come have a go with me Caier shouted and immediately rushed forward. The Sickle of the God of Death was ced on her side, its sharp end leaving a deep mark on the ground. A fierce murderous spirit burst out instantly from her body, and that instant, Caiers whole body was covered in a sparklingly translucent grey drizzle. She very rapidly approached the center of that sea of skeletons, and the time she tried to breach through that passage, the ck skeletons on both sides threw themselves at her, attempting to stop her advance. Caier had a cold demeanor but a fiery temper, burning like an inexhaustible me. In that very moment, all kinds of memories from her time with Long Haochen resurged. No matter how powerful the enemy was, she would only keep advancing. Nothing else than death could stop her advance anymore. That incarnation of death that had just absorbed arge amount of souls followed Caier forward, just like her shadow. But it didnt use any apparent abilities, only releasing the same grey color as Caier from its body, an extremely auspicious grey. Zhang Fangfang and the rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope followed behind Caier at a rapid speed. In the meantime, as Caier faced off the encirclement of the ck skeletons on the sidelines, they also breached through this sea of skeletons. How could these ck skeletons of the sixth step simply block their advance? Just like before, they kept advancing and were rapidly catching up with Caier. Every wave of the Sickle of the God of Death in Caiers hands was certain to take the lives of many skeletons. After getting killed by her weapon, these ck skeletons all turned into gray streams of air, pouring themselves into the shadow of death in the air. Chapter 635 - Dark Knight

Chapter 635: Dark Knight

In a mere moment, Caier took the lead to finally reach that ck knight emitting particles of purple color. These skeletons visibly became more powerful with the addition of the ck knight. Caiers speed of advance was lowered, and the skeletons glinted in purple, bing far more powerful than the previous skeletons, be it in offensive power or resistance. Caier had therefore to protect herself, as well as Long Haochen carried on her back, and couldnt advance prematurely. But even so, these purple skeletons were still decimated one by one in front of her Sickle of the God of Death, as she approached the ck knight. The ck knight had a purplish ck me pulsing inside his eyes. His look was focused on Caier, slowly taking up the five-meter-long spear hanging on his horses saddle. This knight was over three meters tall, and that height reached over four meters with the addition of that mount, a skeleton horse extending over two meters. This was simply a giantpared to Caier. Purplish ck mes instantly rose on the top of his zing spear, and the skeleton horses front limbs were raised. Immediately the air in the scope of the purplish light became suddenly sticky. Caier felt clearly that her body became suddenly stagnant, and immediately, that myriad of purple dots of light gathered to the spear in his hand. In a sh of purple electric light, it was thrust at Caier like an electric shock. Powerful! In just one move, this ck knight startled the whole Bright Glimmer of Hope. The aura liberated by this guy clearly reached the standard of a powerhouse of the ninth step. Even if that was the initial stage of the ninth step, that was still quite a thing. Whats more, from the interaction they had with the other holy guards, their strengths were definitely not limited to their ranking. They had all mastered martial techniques far above powerhouses of the same grade. Caier didnt dodge: as arade was at her back, dodging would just make Zhang Fangfang bear the brunt. But right at this time, a golden shadow streaked across her side, turning entirely purple in the midst of its elevation. Myriads of streaks of thunder appeared, bombarding all directions. That was Sima Xians Purple Thunder Electric Frenzy. Sima Xian was not assisting Caier in resisting the ck knights attack, but assisting her in disposing of the surrounding skeletons, so that she could focus wholeheartedly on the ck knight. This was a sign of their trust in each other: they all believed that Caier would be able to deal with this attack of the enemy. If Long Haochen was the one confronting this attack of the ck knight, he would without doubt stop it with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. But Caier wasnt Long Haochen. She didnt have such formidable defensive power, so if she just defended passively, theres no way she would stop this mighty attack which reached the ninth step in power. As an assassin, her greatest force was her attack, so all she could do was to meet force with force. Her left feet abruptly treading forward, continuous ovepping images of Caier appeared behind her. The Sickle of the God of Death struck forward, a grey crystal condensing on its front end, precisely striking the dark purple glow. This instant, the air seemed to congeal, as a strange scene came to view. The series of oveying images on Caiers back abruptly shed down again, and as she turned, simr to an illusion, uncountable oveying Caiers took shape. Immediately, the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand lit up, and in the midst of its grey radiance, the ck knights purple glow was obliterated. The ck skeletons surrounding Caier were all smashed away by the purple thunder, so only one enemy was standing in front of her at the moment. Arge figure rushed upwards, that was Sima Xian. In the air, he followed after his Energetic Ball of Light, his spiritual wings extended. The whole Energetic Ball of Light was glinting in purple light, and Sima Xians chest was shining in a scarlet colored brilliance. Sima Xians previous spot was already taken over by Yang Wenzhao, which didnt create any hole in the formation. Blocking the ck knights attack, Caiers face looked slightly pale, but she didnt pause. Her figure shed, appearing in front of that ck knight at rapid speed, practically the same as teleportation. But one must know that she was carrying Long Haochen on her back, yet this seemed not to affect her speed in the slightest. The spear in the ck knights hand shed, immediately turning into arge shade shrouding Caier. In the meantime, a dark purple halo rippled from his body, only reaching a diameter of ten meters, but rising from the ground with a solidified feel. The darkness essence in this third floor of the Tower of Eternity immediately rushed forth to him. This felt a bit close to Long Haochens knight ability Storing Power, except that Long Haochen needed to remain unmoving to use it, while the ck knight didnt suffer this restriction. As long as his body would remain in the area of this halo, the Storing Power would persist, making his fighting strength even more terrible. Caier acted as if she didnt see all of it. In front of his myriad spear strikes, Caiers body suddenly turned illusory, and all the illusory images were shattered by the spear strikes. Her real body appeared behind the ck knight. The Sickle of the God of Death became ready to strike then, aiming right at the ck knights back. The ck knight didnt turn back, because he was far toote. The back of his spear approached, pointed toward the sharp end of the Sickle of the God of Death. Caiers body shook violently. It was natural that she had no way topare with the enemies in spiritual energy. But a whole piece of that ck spear was sliced by her Sickle of the God of Death. And more terrible, a multipleyered de projection came out like a lotus flower from the Sickle of the God of Death. It shrouded that ck knight all the way from behind, giving him no opportunity at all. The ck knight was also a tough opponent. Making prompt decisions, he squatted down from the horse and abruptly dashed forward, as a dark purple shield made of energy appeared behind him. The Sickle of the God of Death really had a terrifying offensive power. In a mere second, that shield of energy was crushed and disappeared, but that managed to stall some time for ck knight. Turning, the spear in his hand was swept horizontally. Bang.?With a stuffy groan, Caiers body was immediately swept back. It wasnt that she didnt think of dodging, but she couldnt at all. The instant of that ck knights move, all the surrounding air congealed, and her speed dropped greatly. This very moment, a violent surge of thunder rumbled. Nearby came down a purple pir of light, rushing straight toward the ck knight. Sima Xians Godly Purple Thunder Cannon was done gathering power since long ago, and was only waiting for the ck knight to show a gap. And he was not the only one making a move. A resonant phoenix cry was concealed in the midst of the bombardment of thunder. The Phoenix of Blue Fire lifted itself high and dashed at the ck knight behind the purple thunder. Sima Xian and Lin Xin were using their full power: Purple Godly Thunder Cannon and Phoenix of Blue Fire were their strongest attacks! Bright Glimmer of hope wouldnt let a single person fight alone. Caier having drawn the ck knights attention, their attacks disyed the greatest efficiency. Lin Xins Phoenix of Blue Fire had an enormous changepared to two years ago. First, it was much smaller in volume, and didnt reach two meters even with its two wings unfolded, looking just like arge bird. But, this Phoenix of Blue Fire was much prettier than before. With no mes rising around its body, it looked like a perfect sculpture of crystal. Three pretty tail feathers were undting on its back, standing out even in the midst of the pretty hairs all over its body, making it feel just like a living creature. Its eyes were glinting brilliantly, filled with intense mes. This ck knight was really powerful. Flying past Caier to confront the iing attack, he suddenly jumped from the bone horses back, raising his upper body and blowing a dark purple me which turned into a shield in front of him. But how could this dark purple fire possibly resist Sima Xians Gigantic Ball of Light wielded alongside the evolved Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder? The shield was instantly crushed and the attack from the Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder bombarded the skeleton horse. Immediately, the skeleton horse let out a loud sound as if shing against the opposite wall and producing arge bang. As the dark knight was knocked back, the horses head and half its body were reduced to shreds, the dark knight naturally getting thrown down as a result. Against the panther Demon God Anxerre, Sima Xian had managed to fend off the enemy using this Purple Godly Thunder Cannon, and that was when thetter was in his Demon God Transformed form. Neither the ck knight nor its mount couldpare with that Panther Demon God in strength, so naturally they couldnt stop this blow. However, the skeleton horses sacrifice was not futile at all. Although it was reduced to pieces in the explosion, this blocked a great part of the Purple Godly Thunder Cannons attack strength, and only some aftermathnded on the ck knight. But purple light lingered in the knights whole body, slightly reducing its speed. And at this time came Lin Xins Blue Fire Phoenix. A resonant phoenix cry finally resounded in the whole third floor of the Tower of Eternity, as the knight fell to the ground, pointing his spear forward to shoot a spear projection at the Blue Fire Phoenixs head in an attempt to destroy it. But the Blue Fire Phoenix suddenly became stagnant in midair, abruptly turning into a blue light in the air and instantly disappearing. This was a needle sized blue light which took a sh to pierce through the ck knights spear. The ck knight clearly sensed the immense threat. As it let out a shrill, an intense purple light rose around his body, where all the darkness aura gained in substance. A ball of dark color, wrapped in purple lit up on his chest. his body came to a standstill, and as the purple light curled up, he seemed just like a sculpture which had been standing for a long time. This was clearly a technique of passive defense, quite close to Divine Obstruction. The next instant, the power of the Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix red up. The spear in the ck knights hand melted from the tip, and the blue color extended at a frantic speed, reaching its arm in the blink of an eye. Just looking at that ck knights spear and right arm, one could shockingly see all of it vaporizing under the blue light, leaving not a single trace behind. And, the blue light kept extending through its body, locking onto that purplish-ck ball on the skeletons chest, and shing intensely. The Blue Fire Phoenix was just too powerful. That terrifying temperature already caused twists in the nearby air. Although that ck ball made it stop, the ck knights right arm still dissolved swiftly, up to the chest. And this time, a sharp sh of grey swang at the ck knights back. The incarnation of death that had appeared priorly then shot a gray ray into the sharp sh of gray. The sh of gray caused the purplish-ck ball to shatter in response, at the same time as the left side of the ck knights body. The Blue Fire Phoenix having nothing to stop it anymore, immediately extended at an astonishing speed, igniting that dark knights whole body thoroughly in the blink of an eye. A purplish ck me extricated from the ck knights head, and a quite sharp voice resounded, Eighth holy guard, listening to your orders. As these words came to an end, he turned into a purple glow, disappearing inside the Eternal Melody hanging on Caiers neck. The whole process from the start of the battle to its end wasnt very long. Even Caier herself didnt expect that they would actually vanquish this eighth holy guard so easily. Without a doubt, the greatest contributors in this battle were Sima Xian and Lin Xin. Purple Godly Thunder Cannon and the Phoenix of Blue Fire were the greatest contributors in disposing of this knight of darkness. Caier herself didnt get to show a disy of her full power at all. Along with the death of the ck knight, the surrounding world of darkness immediately distorted, and those ck skeletons also disappeared in these twists. When the surroundings became more clearly visible, they found out that they were now in an extended pathway. This ce was a bit simr to the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, except that the surrounding pirs were all ck. Afar off, a drizzling white curtain of light came to sight. Caier took a deep breath and nodded to Lin Xin and Sima Xian. Right now, the two of them were already sitting cross-legged. Sima Xian was better off, as he had the Scarlet Dragon Armor to weaken the bacsh of the Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder on his body. It was just his spiritual energy that was rather used up. But Lin Xin was not so well off. His Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix gained a much greater might than before, but it also made the bacsh even stronger, and the consumption of spiritual energy considerable. As a reminder, they were facing a powerhouse of the ninth step, but even this ck knight of the ninth step was melted in front of his Blue Fire Phoenix. This was his strongest attack, actually far more powerful than Vulcains Finger. If it were not to gain as much time as possible to save Long Haochen, this wasnt a move he would use casually. Sima Xian said to Caier, Vice-captain, dont worry about the two of us. Now that we have passed through this trial, this ce is already safe. Just keep advancing with the others, we will be joining after recovering a bit. Only light attribute users or Caiers death attribute would be able to recover their spiritual energy in the Tower of Eternity. The other individuals would be unable to rely on the elemental essence in there and need to use magical crystals. Right now, Lin Xin was holding a fire magical crystal of the eighth step in each hand, rapidly recovering his spiritual energy. These were not magical crystalsing out from demons but magical beasts, because only that way can it be devoid of darkness attributes. Chapter 636 - Brave Long’s Death (I)

Chapter 636: Brave Longs Death (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Keep advancing. Caier nodded to the others, and took the lead to enter in those white curtains, out-of ce with the rest of the world made of darkness. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi currently had some feelings of astonishment. Although their cultivation also reached the seventh step, they understood clearly in the previous battle that every member of Bright Glimmer of Hope was far stronger than them. But as one must know, they used to stand as the central pir of their respective teams, and stronger by a considerable gappared to the rest of their team. But in front of the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope, all they could do was to resist some of the skeleton soldiers, and because their injuries were not healedpletely, even the mere act of resisting against the ck skeletons felt strenuous. By contrast, amongst Bright Glimmer of Hope, the main offense was ensured by Caier, Sima Xian, and Lin Xin, whose joint attack could even kill a powerhouse of the ninth step. And that was an overwhelming kill, as that ck knight was not given the slightest chance to disy his strength before being killed in their hands. Long Haochen and Caiers strength aside, even Lin Xin and Sima Xian were already so powerful. The powerful attacks they just used were even totally unheard of by Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. But it was a fact that the matching of Caier and these two managed to defeat the ck knight effortlessly. Actually, this was mainly due to the dominance of their equipment plus theunch of their full-force greatest attack. In what looked like a short battle, Lin Xin and Sima Xian had been going all out and using their trump cards. The holy guards in this Tower of Eternity were certainly powerful, but they all had amon weak point, their equipment. Simply speaking, if that ck knight was d in Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor, they may not necessarily have ended up victorious even by spending ten times more time. Caiers Sickle of the god of Death was a divine tool and Sima Xians Energetic Ball of Light reached the epic tier. No one in Bright Glimmer of Hope didnt have at least a weapon of the legendary tier. The white curtains of light were in front of their eyes. Going through the ck knights trial didnt mean that they had already cleared the third floor of the Tower of Eternity. Based on the previous two floors, they had only cleared half of the trials on this floor. And, theter trials would only keep increasing in difficulty. Only more cruel fights were awaiting them. After Caier stepped out and entered the white curtains of light, Zhang Fangfang, Wang Yuanyuan, and Chen Yinger followed. Stepping through the white curtains, everyone couldnt help but cough lightly, because the air behind was just far too different, making an overwhelming difference. Previously, they were in a world of absolute darkness, but at that moment, what came to their sight after passing through the white curtains was an iparably intense holy aura. The surrounding darkness was already nonexistent, reced by a boundless holy light. The pirsing to sight on the two sides were identical, but spread out a golden gloss filled with holiness. The ground was also entirely gold-colored, with elegant designs extending all over. No seas of skeletons were present. This second part of the third floor was entirely empty. On the end of the third floor was another sculpture of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. Under the sculpture, a single man was sitting cross-legged. A white magic gown of light attribute enveloped all his body, and as he was looking down slightly, Caiers group was unable to discern his face. He was sitting below Eluxs sculpture, and seemed like he was seated for a boundless time, and appeared to be waiting for the arrival of Caiers group. Although they were facing a single enemy now, Caiers crew looked even more concentrated. Right because the enemy standing in front of them was by himself, his strength would undoubtedly be even greater, at least far stronger than the ck knight. Caier turned back to herrades, and told Chen Yinger, Yinger, do not intervene. We will be mostly relying on your power on the next floor. The others,e with me. As she said that, Caiers figure shed, already shing against that light elemental mage who was d in a white gown the next instant. As an assassin, she was obviously the greatest candidate against a mage. Han Yu, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi felt clearly their spiritual energy being boosted enormously in the midst of that holy aura. The three of them immediately put into use their halo abilities, attaching them to Caier. Although Yang Wenzhao was a Retribution Knight, he didnt charge out. With his wounds having yet to heal up, if this enemy was even stronger than the previous one, him charging would have no use at all. Wang Yuanyuan followed, charging alongside Caier. A fierce reek of blood instantly leapt behind her, and one could faintly see a red glow shoot up, turning into an illusory image with the same appearance as Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuans murderous spirit was greatly different from Caiers. Caiers murderous spirit was full of a deathly aura, while Wang Yuanyuans murderous spirit was permeated with a bloody aura. One was originally an attribute of the user herself, while the other one was produced through incessant ughter. The two murderous spirits seemed toplement each other. Under their full power, this brilliance rooted in a brilliance rooted in an extreme holiness The light mage made his move, his bodyunching itself aloft the instant Caiers group started charging. A golden staff appeared in his hand. Pointing it forward, it oscited with wave-like golden ripplesing from it. Having Long Haochen on her back, Caier was unable to immediately enter the state of invisibility. But she was the fastest of all Bright Glimmer of Hope. She was already elerating quickly the instant she charged, and was able to close the distance to the light elemental mage below two hundred meters in just two shes. But after she approached closer than one hundred meters, that soft light htion blocked her. Feeling a kind of gauze on her, Caier found out upon contact with the golden htion that her speed plummetedpletely and she waspletely bound. Like that, her movement was in slow motion. A gray radiance filled with dense murderous instant immediately burst out from the Sickle of the God of Death. A divine tool was a divine tool, and immediately the light magic of unknown name ruptured in front of the tyrannical Sickle of the God of Death. As Caier was moving forward and prepared to keep charging, that ruptured golden light coiled around her body. Wang Yuanyuan faced the same issue as Caier. The two of them were about a hundred meters from the light mage, and found it difficult to keep charging at him. A twisting radiance swept across at this time, charging straight at the light mage. It was the Demonic Eye Commander. That light mage slowly lifted up his head while emitting powerful soul waves. Under his cloak, one could see a pair of pulsing golden mes in his eyes. The Demonic Eye Commanders psychic attack had yet to reach out, as it was repulsed by that powerful soul force. It didnt manage to bring the slightest injury to this light mage. Waving once again his staff, he continued a downcast chant. Immediately, a few knights appeared on Caier and Wang Yuanyuans side. Due to the unknown spell used by this light mage earlier, a golden halo blocked their way, stopping them from advancing any further. This is the spell of the ninth step, Divine Binding! Yang Wenzhao shouted suddenly, But wasnt this spell long since lost? How could it appear here? Damn it, its even insta-cast! A spell of the ninth step, and without even the use of any incantation. That was something close to the level of forbidden spell, so no wonder they would be stopped still. If that was just a spell of the eighth step, Caier absolutely would not, by any means, be stopped so thoroughly with the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. The light mages incantation was ongoing, and everyone knew that if itpleted, the group would hardly manage to resist it. A mages offensive power is far above a warriors, especially this light mage that appeared right after the ck knight. Dont get wrong thoughts because of the extremely cozy feeling of light aura: this trial is surely a lot more challenging than the previous one. And most of all, how could they break through Divine Binding? This time, Caier suddenly called out, Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan who entered through the curtain of light about the same time as Caier exchanged looks with her the instant she heard her call, filled with tacit understanding. Although Caier just had her memories recovered, the memories she had gained after her amnesia were not raised by the past ones, but merged thoroughly, so their mutual understanding still had yet to disappear. One, two... Caier started to count in a slow motion. Her look was on that light mage from beginning to end. Except for Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, the rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope was visibly calm and stopped charging at the protective barrier. That was mutual understanding: without even need for Caier to say anything, they all understood her aim. Three Go! Caier shouted. As watched in shock Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis, the silver light on Wang Yuanyuan amplified greatly, and the next instant she disappeared, only to reappear in front of the light mage. Orange and scarlet colors interweaved in Bloodstorm, bringing an iparable burst of bloodlust. A pitch-ck crack appeared in a sh in front of the light mage, the innate ability of Bloodstorm, Dimensional Storm. In fact, now that Bloodstorm had reached the epic tier through incessant ughters, its might was as different from the time before as sky and earth. In front of that intense light essence, itunched instant cuts. The terrifying Dimensional Storm produced humming sounds upon contact with that defensive spell of the ninth step, and the space inside was torn into countless chips. Chapter 637 - Brave Long’s Death (II)

Chapter 637: Brave Longs Death (II)

Trantor: GravityTales This was Wang Yuanyuans long prepared strike, a perfect match between Bloodstorm and the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gates. Extreme offensive power, but most of all,plete unexpectedness. The power of the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gates is to open a gate towards another spot within sight, and enable Wang Yuanyuan to teleport there. Unlike a rapid movement, she just has to be able to see the spot to be unhindered by any obstacles during this teleportation. Dont underestimate the Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gates just because it does note from a fusion of other spiritual stoves. Through Wang Yuanyuans long period of ughters, this spiritual stove had evolved three times, giving it a great range, number of uses, and stability of teleportation. The light mage was visibly quite panicked. He visibly did not expect these opponents to break through his defensive spell of the ninth step in such a manner. And just because of his absolute confidence in Divine Binding, he had dared so brazenly incantate a powerful offensive spell. As long as this spell waspleted, he had the confidence that it would wipe out all the humans in front of his eyes. But Wang Yuanyuans sudden arrivalpletely cut off his train of thoughts. That terrible Dimensional Storm engulfed with terrible bloodlust left him helpless, with no choice but to cut off his spell close topletion. With a stuffy groan, he drew back while releasing an intense bright light from his hand, hindering Dimensional Storms arrival. The attack was blocked, but that staff in his hand shattered instantly, and because of that, Divine Binding was removed, letting Caier lead the group on another charge. The light mage was really exceptional. While drawing back in such an unfavorable situation, he pointed his hand toward the nearest Wang Yuanyuan, causing a golden htion to rise from under her feet, releasing Holy Light Binding. This was a light elemental control spell of the seventh step. Even while under the effects of the previous chants bacsh, he still made this instant-cast, showing his degree of understanding toward light magic. In the meantime, his body abruptly shifted back, and a formidable scene arose. What seemed to be the sculpture of Elux on the edge of the stage shifted backwards alongside him, trying as far as possible to increase the distance. In the meantime, he kept chanting at an increasingly fast speed. pping the spiritual wings on her back, Caier came chasing like a grey lightning bolt, tracing a clean cut with the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. Mages undoubtedly had highly rated offenses, but their defensive power and attack were inversely proportionnal. The suddenness of Wang Yuanyuans attack was a very key factor. Although her attack didnt seed, it managed to pierce through Divine Binding, and terminated his spell on the verge of beingpleted. Caiers previous counting was a timer before the light mages incantation wouldplete, so that Wang Yuanyuan would interrupt it the instant before its termination. A spells bacsh is an extremely dangerous thing to happen. If a mages spell is interrupted during its preparation, it will very possibly bacsh, and this bacsh grows the more powerful this spell is. In particr, this bacsh also bes all the more powerful the closer topletion the spell was. Even if this light mage was even more of a tough opponent, he had after all just sustained a bacsh of highest grade, and had yet to find the time to recover his breath. Caier had no ns to let himplete any spell of a high grade. But, to her surprise, this light mages speed went even beyond her estimation. When her Sickle of the God of Death was about tond, another of his spells waspleted. As the holy light took shape, the Sickle of the Goddess of Death abruptly paused, and immediately, a powerful force burst out. This formidable force was close to irresistible. Filled with the radiance of light, but also containing an unquestionable impact force, it didnt cause any damaging effects, but even Caiers Sickle of the God of Death was unable to disperse this soft looking holy light. This spell bears the name of Holy Offering, able to ignite the light mages own life as a fuel. And from the looks of it, his soulfire was the very one thing to be ignited. Although he was no more than the Holy Guard guarding this ce, he had his own pride, and would in no way let himself be defeated so easily. The use of Holy Offering alone managed to push his opponents back, giving him some time for incanting, so he still felt confident in defeating these humans. Right as Caier wrinkled her eyebrows and already felt unable to win any longer against this light mage, a mystifying feeling suddenly surged out from her. A soft orange radiance revolved around her body, and dispelled the white light from Holy Offering sticking against Caiers body, and caused that previously irresistible force to disappearpletely. Right as Holy Offering made its way, everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope found out with astonishment that this orange radiance wasing out from Long Haochens left arm. Its imposing luster and the quality of its holy light was one grade above Holy Offering, suppressing it at once. Caier had no idea what just happened, but with her amplebat knowledge how could she let go of such a good opportunity? In a sh of light, countless figures of Caier took this opportunity and made their way forward, surrounding that light mage. And, myriad images of the Sickle of the God of Death sent the light mage in the middle away at once. Myriad Image Strikes. After awakening as the one chosen by the God of Death, Caiers original Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove got an improved attack. Although it was now part of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara, Caier had already acquired all the knowledge inprehending and using it through her constitution as a gods chosen one, making its attack far more powerful than before. Making use of Holy Offering was already the light magesst card. If he did not even manage to stall for any time, then even his other most powerful secret arcana from ancient times would be of no use. Among ear piercing breaking sounds, the light mage disappeared and turned into a streak of golden light pouring into Caiers Eternal Melody. In the meantime came out a resounding voice calling, The Seventh Holy Guard pays allegiance to you. Nimblynding on the ground, Caiers eyes still had a hazy look. Unconsciously she looked towards her own neck, at the arms of Long Haochen being carried. Tears immediately moistened her eyebrows. That was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, the previous orange radiance was characteristic of it. In an abrupt turn, Caier looked at herrades, and called out loudly, Did you all see? Hes not dead! Haochen is alive! He will surelye back to us, theres no doubt! Reaching this point, her arms tightly held Long Haochens arms, her whole body violently shaking. No one knew why the Divine Snail Shields power had erupted. With Long Haochen already dead, he couldnt be the one who activated it. But the brilliance from the Divine Snail Shield gave them extreme confidence, as if Long Haochens death was not a thing that had happened. Since their entrance to the Tower of Eternity, there had passed less than half an hour from beginning to end, and they had already gone through two gates and were reaching the end of the third floor. All Bright Glimmer of Hopes strength manifested without doubts: in fact the guardians they had to face were all powerhouses of the ninth step! Even if thats only the beginning of the ninth step, they still reached it thoroughly. As a matter of fact, it was with a great self-confidence that Long Haochen had brought hisrades deep into demon territory. Dont give a hasty judgement just because all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope only reached the fifth rank of the seventh step in cultivation. They all had spiritual stoves, powerful equipment, and great talent; making them no worse than ordinary powerhouses of the eighth step. If not for the fact that they had met an unmatchable enemy such as the Demon God Emperor, and had fallen in his trap, they would have had plenty of opportunities to escape even in the most desperate straits. It was already toote toment on the matter. Long Haochen was already dead, but in thisst hope of resurrection, every Demon Hunter from Bright Glimmer of Hope disyed their own radiance. Maybe this Demon Hunt Squad remained extremely powerful even without Long Haochen, but without him, Bright Glimmer of Hope had lost its very soul. With much difficulty, Caier repressed her surging feelings, Everyone take a rest and retrieve some spiritual energy. The way to the upper floor opened, lit by the sculpture of Elux in front of it. Just by treading into this pir, they would enter the fourth floor of the Tower of Eternity. But this time, no matter how hasty Caier was, this could not be more pressing than letting the group recover some strength. The group hadnt gotten a lot of rest since the start of the mission in Modu. The trials of the third floor being this hard, what would follow in the fourth floor could only get even harder. How could they pass through the trials in the fourth floor without an ample rest? No mistake is allowed when honing your own knife. The best solution to maximize their chances in the next challenges was to be in the best condition for them. Lin Xin and Sima Xian were also called out there. The second portion of the third floor was full of holy aura, assisting them greatly in recovering spiritual energy. Even the fire user Lin Xin had a much easier time cultivating in a world of light essencepared to a world of darkness essence. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were seated at the back, ncing at each other. They both discerned great shock in each others eyes. Being excellent figures of the younger generation of the Knight Temple, they had already lost all suicidal thoughts after being cursed so harshly by Long Haochen. They even originally thought that even if Long Haochen and Caier were far beyond them, they should still be at least a bit stronger than the others. But now it seemed that these thoughts were clearly mistaken. From the disy of strength showed by all Bright Glimmer of Hopes members, even if the two of them joined hands, they may not necessarily even prevail over any one of them. Chapter 638 - Brave Long’s Death (III)

Chapter 638: Brave Longs Death (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # However, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi didnt show signs of dispiritedness, but instead had their fighting spirits greatly stimted by that. Their wounds still had yet to recover for now, but they had already made their resolve. No matter what, they had to put effort into cultivation to grow as powerhouses. As Long Haochen said, there is not only one Divine Throne. At least three more Divine Thrones were there for them to contest over. This period of rest was rather long, taking no less than a whole hour, after which everyone sessively opened their eyes. Aside from Lin Xin who was still sustaining the effects of bacsh of the Spiritual Stove of Blue Fire Phoenix, the others were already back to their peak state. Even Lin Xin would have no problem using his full-powered magic as long as he would not activate his spiritual stove. Carrying Haochen on her back, Caier stood up, still quite pale looking. Mysteriously, the incarnation of death she had previously materialized had not disappeared all this time, floating in midair from beginning to end. And after defeating the Seventh Holy Guard, this shadow seemed to be all the more clear. Even the others from Bright Glimmer of Hope could only make some guesses, that this should be an ability exclusive to the one chosen by the God of Death, but they had no idea about the details regarding it. This was something Caier had never showed use of in the past. Caier dered, In the third floor of the Tower of Eternity, we have been confronting the trials of the Twelfth to Seventh Holy Guards. It can be seen from their numbering that we have six more holy guards to face off next. From this third floor on, the holy guards will have already reached the ninth step in strength, and the next trials will only be even more challenging. The elements we have already encountered are fire, water, wind, earth, darkness, and light, all six of the great elements. The most powerful ones were darkness and light. The rarer attributes such as spatial attributes have yet to appear, but even if they are all added up, it doesnt make a total of six. So we will very possibly face some holy guards of the same elements as the previous ones next. I will be the main attacker next, and Yinger, prepare yourself to take part in the fourth floor. If possible, you will be our main power in passing through the fourth floors trials, so that we can directly enter the fifth floor. Yes! Chen Yinger agreed with no hesitation, nodding to Caier. She had been wholly unable to take part in the battles of the third floor and was still in top form, as well as the most unexhausted in the group. But shes also a gods chosen one, and Saint Spiritual Daughter is not just a name. In some particr situations, her strength and utility surpassed even Long Haochen and Caier. Their silhouettes stepped into the light, disappearing, and quietly faded away. Fourth floor of the Tower of Eternity. This was an empty space, contrasting with the tides of skeletons on the first part of the third floor. Upon entering the fourth floor, the surroundings were absolutely empty, Just like in the first floor, a sculpture looking like Elux was visible far away. Chen Yinger advanced to Caiers side, and asked in low voice, Can I get started? Caier nodded. A summoners casting time is generally the longest, so getting started now while the enemy had yet to appear would give her the most plentiful time. Chen Yinger directly sat down at her current spot, with the little pig McDull jumping from her arms. A soft incandescent radiance was emitted from her body, while all the spiritual pellets on her Saint Spiritual Robe lit up. Chanting a melodious incantation, Chen Yinger crossed hands, as her crystal appeared slowly in the midst of her chant. Mystical spiritual waves came out from her. The others rapidly formed ranks, surrounding her. As her incantation went on, Chen Yinger gradually floated from the ground. The Saint Spiritual Robe let out a magnificent brilliance, making it appear as if all the magical beasts on it came to life. Intense waves of spiritual energy ascended above her at an astonishing speed. Yang Wenzhao gazed dazedly at Chen Yinger. This instant, he felt like he couldnt recognize his own fianc at all. What about the little girl who used to always hide behind his back? She actually became this strong already? At this very moment, the spiritual waves spreading from Chen Yinger visibly reached the eighth steps threshold, and, moreover, were gaining in strength at a massive speed. Although Yang Wenzhao was unaware of what kind of magic Yinger was using, she had clearly already surpassed him in strength. A feeling of loss came out relentlessly from his chest, and a bitter taste filled his mouth. From the look of it, he really had to persevere with all the more efforts. Right at this time two radiances appeared simultaneously. These were two immense pirs, both of which measured over five meters. On a blue and a red pir of light, two tall skeletons appeared, intense soulfires pulsing in their eyes. Souls of powerhouses. Could there be two holy guards appearing at once this time? The expressions on the groups faces changed at once. From these two pirs, one could tell that they were fire and ice element users, just like the two holy guards who were assigned to the first floor. But the difference was that they had just appeared together! And without a doubt, they surely had cultivations above the two holy guards from the third floor. Facing a powerhouse of the ninth step and facing two of them werepletely different things. Their addition will surely not be a matter of one plus one, but something way over that. Moreover, these two were one close range warrior and one mage. And opposite of the Eleventh and Twelfth Holy Guards, the fire elemental skeleton was a mage, d in a scarlet gown, and the ice guard was a warrior, d in ice-blue armor, and with a huge ice-blue sword in each of its two hands. They were very clearly attracted by Chen Yingers incantation. This floor looked empty, but the presences of the two testing them seemed to fill it up with immeasurable pressure. As the pirs of light vanished, the ice warriors figure shed out, carrying an unbearable pressure as it dashed at Caiers group. The fire mage lifted its staff high, and murmured incantations. One could clearly see two regions of red and blue in front of the group, quite distinct, and throwing a massive pressure on them. Right at that time, everyone had the same thought, thinking, _I_ _f only Captain was there_ __ In front of such powerful enemies, what they needed the most was a leader able to fend off the enemy attacks. If Long Haochen was still alive, he would surely be stopping the ice warriors attacks with the use of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, enabling the others to make full use of their abilities. Even if Caiers attacks were even more powerful, she didnt have an ability to attract the enemies like the Saint Spiritual Stove. And in a frontal sh, theres no way she could stop the offense of a powerhouse of the ninth step. Zhang Fangfang didnt cower in the slightest, standing in the front of the group, but Han Yu rapidly passed through his position. This was the first time uncoordinated actions were taken by the team since the start of their climb of the Tower of Eternity. But Zhang Fangfang immediately came to an understanding, following Han Yus movements. Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu were about equally matched in strength, each having their specialties. Han Yu was below Zhang Fangfangs level in terms of defense, but as a real member of Bright Glimmer of Hope, he had the Soul Sharing Chains on him. A huge blue fireball was shot at the ice warrior, Lin Xins first move. Being a fire mage, he was visibly the main force against an ice user. The zing Heart of Fire distorted the air, immediately going for the ice warrior thanks to his mental locking. The blue soulfire in the ice warriors eyes didnt waver in the slightest. As if stepping on an icy soil, his feet suddenly made a sliding motion. The huge sword in his right hand struck above him, and as the temperature plummeted, a powerfully attractive sword projection was released from his heavy sword, pulling therge fireball to its direction. Immediately, the sword in his left hand was raised, unleashing a one meter long ice de projection, aimed at Bright Glimmer of Hopes group. More shockingly, afterpleting this blow, Lin Xinsrge fireball was repelled by his right sword, thrown afar before exploding. The look on Lin Xins face changed. While releasing a half-moon shaped projection, the ice warrior had just actually cut the link between his spell and him, preventing the fireball from exploding immediately. The ice-colored half-moon projection travelling above the ground didnt grow in size like it would normally, but as the attack came, the nearby temperature plummeted frantically. Lin Xin swiftly stroded forward, arriving behind Han Yu. An intense blue fire surged out from him as the light in his eyes flickered. Immediately, arge canopy of blue mes attached itself to Han Yus body, giving him the looks of a god of fire. Lin Xin was naturally not the only one to make a move. Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi all brandished their weapons at the same time, producing glints of gaudy holy light intercepting that ice attack. The attack theyunched was extremely clever. de projections came out from their weapons, and their connection was immediately cut off to avoid sustaining bacsh from the pulling force on the air. That ice-colored de projection nevertheless had an irresistible force, showing no weakness. The bombardment of de projections could only cause it to disperse some icy fog, but without showing any trace of weakening. When the ice colored half-moon arc de looked like it was about to smash Han Yu, shes of intense light came from his left and right side. The left side was silver colored, while the right side was purple colored. Wang Yuanyuans Divine Soul Shieldunched Space Splitting Saut, while Sima Xian used the Godly Purple Thunder Cannon. These two heavy bombarding attacks were really powerful. In the midst of intense rumbles, that ice-colored half-moon arc strike was split, beforeing to a stop. Han Yu then used Shield Bouncing to scatter the remnants of the ice de. Chapter 639 - Sima Xian’s Ignition (I)

Chapter 639: Sima Xians Ignition (I)

Trantor: GravityTales It took almost everyones power to resist an attack from this powerhouse of the ninth step. And in the meantime, that ice warrior rose to the air, and was now heading towards the group. Without a doubt, in a case where he would make it to the midst of the group, no one would be able to stop his attacks. This ice warrior may not necessarily be much stronger than the previous ck knight, but never forget about the fire mage threatening the group with an overwhelming pressure far behind him. When the ice warrior seemed to be rushing towards all Bright Glimmer of Hopes group, his body suddenly stilled in midiar. Immediately, he gave up on his offensive stance, making a sudden turn to his side in midair, while crossing his heavy swords in front of him. The grey spectral lighting from a sh came to view, violently attacking the space between the ice warriors crossed swords. _Ding._ A chirping sound of collision reverberated in the fourth floor of the Tower of Eternity, rising gradually. That valiant ice warrior was pushed over forty meters away by this strike, striking against a stone pir supporting this fourth floor. On his pair of ice colored swords appeared tant cracks. Without the support from his powerful spiritual energy, without a doubt they would have crumbled. Caier was still standing there, putting down her Sickle of the God of Death slowly, as her sparkling eyes shed a cold look. There was no sufficiently powerful Guardian Knight to stand in front of such a powerful enemy, so they could only rely on absolute force. The first of the seven absolute arts of the god of death, Death in Childhood, finally descended. This Death in Childhood was at least twice as strong as when used in her amnesic state. The ice skeleton was a holy guard with knowledge on battle techniques from ancient times, but didnt have any escaping technique or cheap trick against this attack. He was sent flying by Caier and narrowly lost his weapon in the process. From this, one may well imagine how terrifying this formidable power was. From their return to the Tower of Eternity to their arrival in here, Caier had yet to use her full strength. Thats because she understood thoroughly that the following trials would only get harder and harder. To obtain the full inheritance from the Slumbering Cmity Elux and have the possibility to resurrect Long Haochen, she had to be in her best condition, which is why she borrowed herrades strength all this time, and unceasingly umted power all this time. The recovery of her memories made her two selves merge as one, but her powers as a gods chosen one were still a bit unstable. This powerful strength was being assimted in the midst of battle. Ordinary attacks were already insufficient to stop an ice warrior of the ninth step. In case he were allowed to break in, even if the group could try to defeat it as fast as possible, it only needed to interrupt Chen Yinger to make Caiers group end up failing this trial for certain. At the same time this ice warrior was split away, the distant fire mages spell waspleted almost simultaneously with Chen Yingers spell. One gate of light after another lit up at Chen Yingers back. This total of six gates let out an intense radiance, each colored differently. They carried the six elemental colors: red, blue, yellow, green, gold and ck. In the midst of intense snarls, six immense Earth Dragon came out simultaneously from their gates, revolving around the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Chen Yinger was right in the center of their formation. Unfolding her spiritual wings, Chen Yingers body instantly came to a standstill three meters away, floating in midair and facing her crystal ball toward the distant fire mage. The six hexagonal formations shed and all the Demon Hunters in their midst could feel a huge rise of all the elemental fluctuations around them. Right now, the whole Tower of Eternity had turned into a world of red. A series of gold-red fireballs appeared around the fire mage, very rapidly taking every corner surrounding him, just like a fire wall, showing not the slightest crack. Be careful, this is a real Meteor Shower, possiblyparable to the rank of forbidden spell! Lin Xin abruptly showed an affected face. If a fire elemental spell of this level was left on the battlefield, it would be enough to get rid of a whole legion. The space in the Tower of Eternity was wide enough, but such a multidirectional spell gave them no chance at all to avoid it. _Grooaa!_ Six roars rang out, as six breaths of different colors were released simultaneously from the Earth Dragons mouths. These Earth Dragon were all magical beasts of the ninth rank, matching human powerhouses of the eighth step. The crystal ball in Chen Yingers hands joined the midst of these breaths, turning into a multicolored beam. Go, Chen Yinger ordered adorably, and the six-colored radiance was shot at the distant fire mage. The fire mages staff was waved about the same time, bestowing the Meteor Shower with an iparable might andunching it toward their direction. Right now, that ice warrior had evaded behind a pir, disappearing from view. Some defensive barriers were unleashed by the group, but to their astonishment, no matter how hard they tried, none of their defensive spells could take shape, all of them dissipating in the midst of those six Earth Dragons formation. How big could the light beam released from the crystal ball be? It was just a littlerger than an ordinary persons fist. And how about Meteor Shower? Thats an overwhelming thing! For a moment, even Caier became anxious. But right now, she could only put her trust in Chen Yinger. After all, she clearly saw that at the time Yinger released that six-colored ray, her eyes looked full of confidence. The six-colored ray collided against Meteor Shower, and the instant these spells with their own transcendant might came into contact, all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope had an eerie feeling, as if everything hade to a standstill at once. That fierce Meteor Shower abruptly stopped, and like a rock in the midst of a sea of fire, the six-colored ray rippled lightly. The hundred and eight spiritual pellets on Chen Yingers Saint Spiritual Robe shone brightly, as her pair of thin hands made amanding motion. Immediately, the six-colored radiance on the crystal ball sprayed out, forming a multicolored barrier, which enveloped the whole group inside with the backing of the six Earth Dragons. The next instant, time resumed its flow. Meteor Showers fall still kept going, but the most central part of the meteorite had already lost all its light. From the looks of it, it became closer to a huge ring of fire. Although it still followed the same course, it had at least lost its core right then. Massive sounds of explosions rang out, and the terrible fire caused terrible twists to appear in the air. But having lost its core part, the meteorite could only sh with the air surrounding the group. The remnants of that red-hot fire was then melted by Chen Yingers six-colored barrier like ice, losing all efficiency. More shockingly, the six-colored ray that melted the meteorite had yet to disappear, still shooting towards the distant fire mage. Back then, Lin Xin had suffered a great loss against this trump card of Chen Yinger. But right now, its use was far stronger than whenparing notes with Lin Xin, obviously she had been lenient that time. The most mystical aspect of that six-colored ray of light was the unidentifiable magic element forming it, able to annihte anything instantly, without being affected in the slightest. When the fire mage who had just unleashed his Meteor Shower suddenly saw the six element radiance rush toward him, he immediately suffered a loss, hastily erecting a thick fire shield in front of him. Right at this time, an ice-colored figure appeared instantly in front of him, crossing a pair of swords in front of the six element radiance. _Pop._ When the six element radiancended on the ice warrior, its body instantly came to a stop. Even his powerful elemental ice attack of the ninth-step grade actually had no use. His whole body was only shing in gaudy multicolored light and was stagnant, as if turned into a magnificent sculpture. Elemental Cage. Chen Yinger had a tranquil look. Right now, she didnt have the slightest bit of her usual yful appearance. Putting the forefinger of her right hand on that ice crystal, she let her clear voice reverberate in this wide space. Elemental Dispersion. A terrifying scene came to view. From the six-colored radiance on the ice warrior, the six elements, being water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness, suddenly dispersed, the instant of their dispersionnding an indescribable attack on the ice warrior. _ng._ The ice warriors body suddenly smashed to pieces, turning into six parts before breaking in fragments in the midst of ck holes formed by the attack formed with six split elements. This attack alone matched the ninth step in power. However, afterunching such an attack, Chen Yinger visibly had a pale look, and the hundred and eight spiritual pellets on her Saint Spiritual Robe shone even more dazzlingly. As she changed her hands posture, she suddenly opened her mouth, letting a mouthful of blood flow onto the crystal ball in front of her. The six Earth Dragons shook simultaneously before releasing others of their breaths, once again gathered onto the crystal ball. GoC Chen Yinger shouted delicately. Immediately, another six-colored radiance was shot out, heading towards the fire mage. At the same time her second attack wasunched, Caier also swept the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. The soulfire in the eyes of the opposite fire mage pulsed violently. In front of that six-colored attack, even such a powerhouse couldnt help but have a brief absent-minded look. Despite mastering magic abilities from ancient times, he was still unable toprehend the ability Chen Yinger just used. It could only erectyers uponyers of fire defenses, attempting to exhaust the power from that six elemental pir of light. But that six-element radiance was like a matchless being, disregarding any fire-based elemental defenses. In the end, it came into direct contact with that fire mage whose body turned six-colored as well. Chapter 640 - Sima Xian’s Ignition (II)

Chapter 640: Sima Xians Ignition (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # This time, Chen Yinger naturally had no need tounch another Elemental Dispersion. Caier caught up soon after, her Sickle of the God of Death carrying a sparkling grey radiance as it ended the fire mages life. The sixth and fifth holy guards both returned to the Tower of Eternity. The members from Bright Glimmer of Hope all had foolish looks. The atmosphere around them was originally extremely heavy, with these two powerhouses of the ninth step in front of them. From their point of view, passing through this hurdle would necessarily be extremely difficult, and hardly thinkable without paying arge cost. But who would have imagined Chen Yingers full power moves to be so terrifying? Turning the situation all around, she had thoroughly crushed these two great powerhouses of ice and fire elements. Slowly falling to the ground, Chen Yingers face looked as pale as paper, as she couldnt help but spurt out blood. In a sh, she fell on Yang Wenzhaos embrace, murmuring the words, Leaving the rest to you guys... before fainting Although she was the Saint Spiritual Girl, and had the Spiritual Temples only divine tool on her, she was after all just a summoner of the seventh step! To get rid of another powerhouse of the ninth step and bind another one at this level was not just a disy of higher-grade power anymore, but a total overdraft pushing her body past its limits. In order to raise the chances of resurrecting Long Haochen, Chen Yinger showed no reserve at all. Her captain having done so much for her, she would have no regrets in the slightest even if she had to lose her life here. Elemental Cage was Chen Yingers self-created magic, but it was actually outside the boundary of summoner magic. It was something she found inspiration for from Haoyues Essence of Disorder, but it would need to wait for her to reach the ninth step to gain true full control over it. At her current cultivation level, the limit should be only one Elemental Cage, and at a far weaker level than the previous one. But Chen Yingers previous forceful burst of Elemental Cage achieved through capacity overdraft was just too powerful, not only stopping the fire mages attack, but, moreover, getting rid of the ice warrior through the usage of Elemental Cage. Elemental Dispersion was an ability extending Elemental Cage that Chen Yinger would by no means be able to use without overdraft of hertent capabilities and use of her vital force. Elemental Cage was actually not an irresistible technique, as it was only able to counter the six great elements of magic. It only had a great restricting ability, but no great offensive power. And this binding would onlyst for a very brief time. In other words, if Chen Yinger was unable to kill the ice warrior a short time after the Elemental Cage, in case he recovered, it would be without the slightest wound. And with the defensive power of the ice warrior of the ninth step, even if Caier was to go all out, she would not necessarily be able to kill the enemy in one blow. This was why Chen Yinger forced herself past her limits to this extent to use Elemental Dispersion. The fire mage being a mage, his defensive power was naturally notparable with the ice warrior, so Caiers prompt response was sufficient to end it, making their move a smooth sess in passing through the fourth floors trial To achieve three instances of self-created abilities activating through the use of Spirit Bestowal, Chen Yinger had needed to go through a massive use of the Saint Spiritual Robes supply. But this spiritual energy needed to be supplied in the scope bearable by her body. Exceeding this capacity would only end up with an explosion of spiritual energy and death. Speaking of which, she felt really grateful for Lin Xins Forest Boa Training Pills which raised her external spiritual energy over ten thousand, greatly strengthening her physically. Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way she would survive from that previous burden. Even so, in such a heavily injured state, Chen Yinger would be unable to recover for a short while. She was already no longer a possible addition to the following fights. The six Earth Dragons were already back through their own gates of light, which subsequently disappeared. McDull hastily hopped around Chen Yinger. Being her contracted beast, he could sense her current weak state. Caier was already turned back. Looking Chen Yinger, she watched her for a short time beforemanding, Yang Wenzhao, you stay to take care of Yinger. The others, follow me onto the fifth floor. Yang Wenzhao was using light magic to treat Chen Yinger, nodding at these words. Although feeling an extreme heartache, he was entirely able to understand the reasons for Chen Yinger acting so. If he was the one who had such an ability, he would surely not show reservations. The passage from the fourth floor to the fifth was straightforward. This test looked simple and its process was actually even faster than in the third floor, but actually, if not for Chen Yingers burst of power, they wouldnt easily win against thebination of the ice and fire holy guards. This wouldnt be an issue if Long Haochen was present as he could fend off the enemy attacks, but now they were exactly in short of a strong guardian able to resist the enemy attacks. So what would appear on the fifth floor? Caier had already used up her daily use of the Seven Arts of the God of Death, but still didnt show any intention to stop by and have a rest. Leading herrades to the fifth floor, she walked into the transporting light. Fifth floor of the Tower of Eternity. In a sh of light, Caier, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang and Duan Yi appeared altogether in a whole new world. Unlike the fourth floor, they perceived immediately upon arrival an overwhelming massive pressure inflicted upon them. In that pressure, they all had the reflex to release their spiritual energy at fullpower, making it a bit lighter. Caier stood motionless, looking ahead with great determination. The fifth floor of the Tower of Eternity did not look much different from the previous floors. Its breadth and theyout of the two stone pirs on the sides, extending all the way ahead was the same. The pathway extended fifty meters long, and beyond that, a hazy figure was visible. Caier analysed coldly, The fourth floor wasbining ice and fire, like the first one, but the mage and warrior specializations were just swapped. This fifth floor will very possiblybine earth and wind. Take care everyone. After passing through the third and fourth floor, they had already lost the Saint Spiritual girl Chen Yinger, and in the group, Lin Xins strength also plummeted greatly due to using Blue Fire Phoenix. After arriving there, they could only struggle as hard as they can. But every floor of the Tower of Eternity would get much harder than the previous one. Just what would they encounter in there? The answer would onlye out when the opponent appears. You all remain here. I will draw out the enemies from this floor. Saying that, Caier slowly raised the Sickle of the God of Death upwards, still seeing that shing grey figure after raising her head. The environment was much darker than the previous floor. Only the center of the floor was illuminated. Originally, she had nned to spend some time for rest and reorganization before proceeding, but if she did so, perhaps the Shadow of the God of Death would disappear. Its existence would only be maintained in the state of battle. Caier did not walk fast, but every step she took gave off an illusory feeling. That was clearly a special stepping exclusive to assassins. The pressure in the air seemed to keep increasing, and at the time Caier took her tenth step, a yellow pir of light abruptly fell from the sky, in the midst of which appeared. a tall yellow figure A huge yellow skeleton, over four meters tall and looking much sturdier than the ck knight, held a hammer in each hand. He caused the air to suddenly be heavy upon arrival. Earth warrior. This time only one assessor came and no longer were there two holy guards at once. But Caier didnt rx because of that, bing even more tense. The fifth floors trial was certainly more difficult than the fourth floors. But only one examiner hade out, and that was an earth warrior as she had expected. But would it really go so easily? The next instant, this earth warrior told them the contents of this fifth floors trial. The radiance surrounding the four meters tall earth warrior disappeared in a sh, its right feet stamping the ground loudly. Immediately, a terrifying shaking force rose, massively bursting into the group. Under Caiers lead, all Bright Glimmer of Hopes members soared without hesitation, spreading their spiritual wings to avoid the seismic waves. But, they very rapidly saw the seismic waves take shape upon arriving under them. Yellow streams of air issued a massive pulling force created from the ground. Even Caier, whose cultivation was the highest, was instantly pulled back to the ground. The massive pulling force dragging them made them feel as if pulled in an ooze. Domain! Han Yu cried out in rm, identifying the kind of ability that the earth warrior was using right now. Right, they had only one opponent to face in this floor, but that was a powerhouse of the ninth step strong enough to use a domain! Whats a domain? Thats a trademark ability of a powerhouse of the ninth step. Only someone able to wield a real domain can be called a supreme powerhouse. Generally, a domain ability would hardly be acquired at the first stages of the ninth step. Any domain inevitably has some unique characteristic. Even two powerhouses of the same element cannot possibly have an exactly identical domain. In his own domain, a powerhouse of the ninth step can wield a several-folds higher power, while binding the opponent greatly. And generally, having a domain implies a spiritual energy above 200,000. Chapter 641 - Sima Xian’s Ignition (III)

Chapter 641: Sima Xians Ignition (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Maybe this earth warrior had a weaker equipment, but his fighting strength should already be close to the level of someone like the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus. But of course, thats if you only count one of Asmodeus three head. Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope had already experienced Chen Hongyus powerful domain in their battle. But because Chen Yinger was here as the Saint Spiritual Girl, Chen Hongyus ability as Spirit Master was greatly restricted. But right now, they were facing a skeleton warrior wielding an earth elemental domain. In other words, an even more powerful opponent than the previousbination of the ice and fire elemental holy guards. What everyone got to experience was the Ultragravity and Swamp Technique attached to this earth elemental domain. Even if this warrior wouldnt attack, the persistent effect of this swamp would perhaps be enough to annihte them. But moreover, how could this warrior just stand still? After activating his domain, the earth warrior strode forward, his body lustering resplendently, shooting out innumerable lights, and making appear an armor made of a diamond-looking material on its torso. Earth is widely known for its superior defense, and there stood no doubt that this earth warrior held high prowess in this regard. Sweeping its huge hammer, it swung it at Caier. Caier suddenly let out a shriek, her ear-piercing voicenced through the warriors soul like a sharp needle. Monstrous Brain-filling Sounds. In the meantime, her body suddenly had an illusory look. From the effects of Brain-filling Monstrous Sounds, the earth warriors hammer wielding slowed down greatly. Caier took advantage of this short dy to lightly tap that huge hammer with her Sickle of the God of Death, seizing the opportunity to draw back. However, this earth warriors strength was actually a frightening thing. Caier felt three consecutive impacts on her, and let out a stuffy groan. But in the end, she managed to draw back to a distance a dozen steps from herrades. Cojoined Spiritual Pills! Caier shouted loudly, and in the meantime, pointed the Sickle of the God of Death at the deathly shadow. An overflowing murderous spirit burst out at once from her body. To some extent, an opponent of earth element was the hardest type to deal with, the difficulty lying in the earth warriors defensive power and powerful force, and most of all, on this domains existence. Even if Chen Yinger still had enough fighting strength to keep going, relying on Elemental Cage to bind the earth warrior may not necessarily give enough time for their attacks to finish it off in the short binding duration. But, right at this time, a tall silhouette suddenly sprang out in front of Caier, shouting determinedly, Vice captain, let me do it. The one that popped up in front of Caier was Sima Xian. While shouting to take Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, Caier had already taken one. And this time, the earth warrior was alreadying up. Avoiding the attack by a hairs breadth, she immediately let go of the Sickle of the God of Death and pressed both her hands on Sima Xians back. In the meantime, at Caiers back, Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang, Lin Xin and Duan Yi all entered the connection the next instant. Duan Yis pill was directly inserted from Lin Xin to his mouth. The seven of them immediately formed an heptagon, with Sima Xian standing as the vanguard. The Gigantic Ball of Light was lifted high above his head, making arge bang as it forcibly stopped the downwards swing of the warriors two axes. Intense rumbles followed as the seven who consumed the Cojoined Spiritual Pills had their bodies shake violently. In the front, Sima Xians body was shing in fiery-red and gold radiance, the defense boosting of the Scarlet Dragon Armor, and the Soul Sharing Chains effects. Even if that was done the instant of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills effectspletion, receiving this blow still caused some damage. However, the Energetic Ball of Light truly deserved being called a weapon of epic tier. Crush, Smash, and Triple sts power erupted instantly against the dual hammers, forcing the warrior back two steps. Your father is going to make it an all out fight against you! Sima Xian had his round eyes wide open, his whole bodys muscles swelling violently. An iparably intrepid bearing was felt from him. Sima, you cant! Lin Xin shouted in haste behind him. But as if Sima Xian didnt hear anything, he directly unleashed his Berserk ability. Theres no way he would have forgotten Lin Xins numerous warning that the Berserk ability couldnt be used under the effects of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills, because in case he enters Berserk state, his external spiritual energy will immediately erupt, greatly amplifying his bodys capacity. But if a toorge amount of internal spiritual energy is poured in the body, upon termination his body would very possibly not be able to bear the burden and would crumble. However the current Sima Xian seemed as if he had totally forgotten all this. Instantly entering Berserk Mode, his body seemed to swell as his muscles tore through his gown. His right fist shot out, beating on the Gigantic Ball of Light to make it bounce back, and in the meantime his right feet stamped on the ground. A surge of purple electric flow rushed out from his body, spreading to the surrounding like lightning shes. Each of the seven reached over 15,000 spiritual energy, and all of them had taken Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pills. Adding to that Sima Xians self-use of Berserk mode and the Spiritual Cojoined Boosting Pills, now, although the current Sima Xians spiritual energy was still below the earth warrior, it was not much below. The earth warrior swung its two hammers, abruptly knocking the air and shooting a yellow ray of light out upon collision, shooting straight to Sima Xians chest. His greatest defect after making use of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills was ack of agility, so Sima Xian did not think at all about dodging. With a loud roar, his hands gripped onto the handle of the Energetic Ball of Light, abruptly meeting with the enemy. In another loud collision, yellow light was dispersed all around, but this time none of the light from the Life Sharing effects of the chains manifested. The previous happening of his right foot stamping the ground was not wasted at all. Making use of the shock it caused to avoid the attack, he made use of the enhanced power of the Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder to temporarily neutralize the earth elemental domain under their feet. Feel free to try out my great self! The Energetic Ball of Light was lifted from his chest as Sima Xian shouted out in fury, causing the power of the spiritual stove to break out in all directions. An incandescent purple-colored ball of light took shape, flying straight to the earth warrior. Positioned behind him, Lin Xin unconsciously shut his both eyes, which were already muddled. As the creator of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills, no one else understood their effects better than him. Sima Xian was under the effects of Cojoined Spiritual Pills, and was using Berserk mode together with his Purple Godly Thunder Spiritual Stove, with over ten thousand spiritual energy. The burden on his body could only be described as terrifying. When this battle ends, the bacsh on his body would only be of the same level! Even Lin Xin didnt know whether he would be able to bear it all. And, for now, he could only pray for that Scarlet Dragon Armor to be strong enough to protect his body. The strengthened Purple Godly Thunder Cannon burst out instantly in front of the warrior, who met the attack with crossed hammers. An intense explosion burst out the next instant. As expected, thunder was not very effective against earth, but thats only if you speak of elemental affinity. Sima Xians Purple Godly Thunder Spiritual Stove also had a terrifying explosive force outside its thunder elemental power. When facing the Panther Demon God Auxerre, even an ordinary use of the Purple Godly Thunder Spiritual Stove was able to repel him. This earth warrior, though, was certainly even stronger than Auxerre, in addition to having the support of a domain. But Sima Xians enhanced Purple Godly Thunder Cannon was more than twice as strong. _Bang!_ A terrifying explosion nearly took all Bright Glimmer of Hopes members hearing at once, as the earth warrior fell back after being pushed back a distance of four walking steps. The pair of hammers in its arms were already cracked, and its entire body was surrounded in purple light. The process of its back-step looked like the sight of a falling drunk man. Although the powerful explosion force did not manage to make that earth elementals body numb, this Purple Godly Thunder Cannons might did cause the earth warriors soulfire to get numb. Sima Xian once again roared, rotating the Energetic Ball of Light thrice above his head before throwing it fiercely. Therades behind him didnt see it, but right now Sima Xians both eyes were already colored blood red. And, a simr bloody-red ray was spreading from the chain to inside the ball. Sacrifice, the knight ability. This is an ability Long Haochen had used not only once. Originally, priests should not be able to use such an ability, but Sima Xian was not an ordinary priest but a Discipline Priest! And, this Sacrifice ability was something he had pleaded Long Haochen to teach him. In the current situation, Sima Xian did not give the slightest thought about the aftermath for this battle onhis body. Only memories of Long Haochens death in the Demon God Emperors hands kept surfacing in his mind. He was Long Haochens retainer knight, yet wasnt able to help him in the slightest back at that time. Sima Xian was quite a bit older than Long Haochen, but ever since this Demon Hunt Squad got formed, he had been following him wholeheartedly. In his heart, Haochen was not only his captain, but also an elder brother. Being the soul and cornerstone of his team, Long Haochen had acted several times as the burning soul of that team. Sima Xian only had a single thought now, and that was to pave the way for resurrecting their captain without sparing any cost. Since a girl such as Chen Yinger dared do that, how could he shrink before making sacrifices? Even under the effects of the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, Sima Xian understood that he didnt have much prospects in winning. But he still stood there, bearing the responsibility of bing the focal point of the Spiritual Gathering Pills. The thoughts he had were: _If thissts, I can only end in defeat. With the domain boosting him, that earth warrior is not someone I can win against._ So his strategy was tounch an attack of unprecedented intensity, to get the earth warrior in an instant kill. Chapter 642 - Gigantic Soul Shield’s Descent(I)

Chapter 642: Gigantic Soul Shields Descent(I)

Trantor: GravityTales After revolving thrice, the Gigantic Ball of Light had turned into an amethyst color. The terrifying electricity emanating from it had a translucent feel, and carried a truly ruthless reek of blood. The instant the one-meter-diameter Energetic Ball of light came flying, Sima Xian spurted out arge mouthful of blood. In a resonant splurt of blood, his Scarlet Dragon Armor then smashed to pieces suddenly. With a loud bang, his upper-body covered in scars came to sight. _Bamdoom!_ The retreating earth warrior was bombarded by Sima Xians full powered and willed Energetic Ball of Light. The pair of hammers shattered, and immediately, the ball left a mark on its chest. _Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang,_ _Bang, Bang,_ _Bang, Bang, Bang,_ _Bang, Bang._ Twelve repeated booms resounded the same as alternated shots from magic cannons. In the midst of these twelve sts, the earth warriors body shook violently. Without a single burst of sound, the gap on its body spread out even more massively as the cracks multiplied. At the time of thest echo, the earth warriors body was already sted to shreds. It wasnt even able to pay a single word of allegiance to its master, turning into a yellow light shooting at the Eternal Melody on Caiers chest. Sima! The instant that earth warrior copsed, Sima Xian crumbled as well, falling to the ground with arge shock underneath Caier. His upper-body was full of bloody wounds, having turned into a man of blood the instant of Berserk modes ending. Two glints of lightnded on Sima Xians body almost at the same time,ing from Duan Yi and Zhang Fangfangs Holy Protections. The instant after the two released this instantaneous spell, they immediately started chanting healing magic of higher scale. Han Yu came to Sima Xians side, releasing his Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings to help everyone present recover their spiritual energy. Lin Xin stepped forward, holding Sima Xians fallen body and cing pills into his mouth before inspecting his wounds. Leaning on Lin Xins chest, Sima Xians chest moved up fiercely as blood flew continuously from his mouth, nose, and ears. But despite it being full of blood, he had a smile on his face. I Seeded Vice-captain Leaving the rest to you Possible Domain Wind powerhouse Take care Just before. This opponent Power Wielded with Nature element We Must Resurrect... Boss As if these were hisst words, Sima Xian spoke these words as his body was shaking all over. By chance, Zhang Fangfang and Duan Yis high level magics werepleted sessively right after that, healing his bruised body. The bruises on the surface healed easily, but the internal wounds were not that easy to heal. Caier was kneeling in front of Sima Xian, strongly pursing her lips together to stop her tears from flowing down. She was now the whole teams leader, and as such, she had to stay strong. Thank you, Sima. Sima Xians whole body was shaking, gradually entering a state of serenity from the healing magic, but in the meantime his vital force became fainter and fainter. Wang Yuanyuan grabbed Lin Xins shoulder, asking hastily, How are things? Lin Xin grinded his teeth tightly, and did not give a reply to Wang Yuanyuans question, taking out other pills to pour into Sima Xians mouth. Right now, Sima Xian was already unconscious, and couldnt swallow it on his own. Lin Xin went so far as to push his mouth against Simas to help him swallow the pills. Under the effects of Han Yus Spiritual Stove of Light Blessing, and Duan Yi and Zhang Fangfangs nearly simultaneous usage of healing spells, it still took a whole half an hour for Lin Xins face to finally be a bit more rxed. How are things? Wang Yuanyuan asked hastily. Sima Xian breathed in arge gasp as he replied, Our baldie is tenacious, and finally managed to make it through alive. The bacshes from his spiritual stove, berserk state, and use of the ability Sacrifice was majorly sustained by his Scarlet Dragon Armor of epic tier. Otherwise, how could a piece of equipment of epic tier break down like that? But even so, that nearly cost him his life. His internal organs had started to crumble and decay. But my pills and the brothers healing kept them alive by a thread. At least now his life is stabilized and is not at risk anymore. _Pah, Pah_ Shit, what a loss. Why did I have to make contact with this guys thick lips An iparable loss! The tense atmosphere finally rxed after Lin Xin said these few words. Aside from Caier, the whole group exuded smiles. In normal times, they would perhaps beughing in joy, but right now, they were only filled with heavy feelings. This was only the test of the first half of the fifth floor, and they had already lost Chen Yinger and Sima Xian. Since the following tests would only get harder, would they really make it to the final seventh floor? Although Sima Xian had vanquished the earth warrior by himself, that was after using the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, therefore making everyone fall into a weakened state. Although it was continuously improved by Lin Xin, who made the bacshes far weaker than before after adding a lot of ingredients, they were in the midst of continuous battles, making even Light Blessings insufficient to return them to their optimum state. Although Caier was worried, she could obviously not keep advancing immediately. By continuing, they would face off against even more powerful opponents wielding domains, against whom they could only have a chance by using the Cojoined Spiritual Pills given the current state of the team. Everyone have a rest here. After our weakened state is over, we will keep advancing. Reaching this point, Caier cautiously untied Long Haochen from her back, cing him on the ground. Seeing his pale, bloodless face, Caiers body couldnt help but shake. Raising her hand and gently stroking his face, tears fell down beyond her control. _Idiot, you idiot! I will bring you back to life no matter the cost!_ This time of rest was much longer than the previous one. Under Lin Xin, Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, and Duan Yis joint efforts, Sima Xians body was finally stabilized, at least guaranteeing his certain survival. It was at this kind of time that the effects from the Forest Boa Training Pills became visible. Compared to other powerhouses of the same vocation at the same level, their powerful external spiritual energy made their resistance towards the side effects of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills much better than ordinary powerhouses. This was something Duan Yi got to see very clearly. After roughly eight hours, Caiers group was already done recovering for the most part, apart from Duan Yis weakened state which still persisted. Under these conditions, he wouldnt be able to take another Cojoined Spiritual Pill, so even if he begged repeatedly, Caier decided to instead have him stay and take care of Sima Xian. Everyone, have Cojoined Spiritual Pills prepared. Caier asked sternly, Lin Xin, do you have some more spares of Cojoined Spiritual Pills? Lin Xin nodded, I have another set on me. Adding it to the set in everyones hand, we can still go for two more battles. Caier wrinkled her eyebrows, nodding slowly. After less than a day, they had sessively taken the third and fourth floor trials, and half of the fifths. But this Tower of Eternity had seven floors in total! Since the fifth floor already had powerful holy guards wielding domains, how about the iing sixth and seventh floors? Right now, everyone had a very grim facial expression. Although they were unwilling to think of it, they faintly realized that the final climb of the seventh floor would perhaps be extremely difficult. But none of them was willing to speak out these facts, much less believe in them. No matter what, they would strive their greatest effort to fight for time and fight for the opportunity of resurrecting Long Haochen. This Tower of Eternity was their only hope out there! Caier took a deep breath, Another trial is waiting for us right after this. Up next, we should have to face a wind elemental mage in control of a wind domain. Wind mages greatest strength is in their speed. We have no way to know about the opponents domain in advance, but I will be in charge of the offense, while everyone else boosts me through the Cojoined Spiritual Pills. We must defeat the opponent in the shortest time, and not let him deploy his greatest attacks! While speaking up to there, she had already ced Long Haochen back on her back, binding him tightly with the chains. Caier! Wang Yuanyuan suddenly called out her name. Yeah? Caier looked at her puzzlingly. Wang Yuanyuan determinedly stared at her face, Let me be the one undertaking this duty. No way! Caier rejected her suggestion without giving it the slightest thought. Just before, Sima Xian had to try hard with his life at stake, narrowly dying in battle. How could she, as the temporary captain, let herrades take such risks? Moreover, the strongest of the team was her! Wang Yuanyuan grabbed Caiers shoulders, facing her face on, Caier, listen to me. We are a team, and resurrecting captain is by no means a business all your own. Yinger and Sima already gave their greatest shot, so the next one to go should be me! I am confident in seeding, as the Space attribute is a counter to Wind element. Moreover, just like everyone else I have secret moves of my own. I am very confident! Caier still shook her head, Yuanyuan, I know that you have good intentions, but I have greater chances than you. Wang Yuanyuan suddenly gave an emotional response, I know that you have greater chances than me, but are you confident in being able to stay unharmed while defeating the enemy? No, you cannot. With your current cultivation, you must utilize the seven arts of the God of Death to vanquish a mage wielding a domain, but you have already used it once in the past twelve hours. Using it once again will undoubtedly cause a terrible bacsh. Dont forget that this is not thest trial we are going to face. We still have the sixth and seventh floorsing up after that. You may be the strongest of us, but this is all the more of a reason for you to preserve your strength for whatsing next. Chapter 643 - Gigantic Divine Soul Shield’s Descent (II)

Chapter 643: Gigantic Divine Soul Shields Descent (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # Against the even stronger opponents we can only rely on you. Can you afford to be weakened by the bacsh at that time? I am not acting out of blind impulse, and am certainly confident since I dare demand to take your stead. Let me go. Boss did so much for us, the least I wish to do is to be able to do the most I can to bring him back to life. If we end up in failure, I will otherwise be filled with regrets for my whole lifetime. Caiers eyes reddened unawarely, Yuanyuan... At some point, Zhang Fangfang had joined Wang Yuanyuans side, Caier, how about letting her go? I believe that Yuanyuan is capable of it. For the sake of advancing, we must make some concession, and your strength will be needed at the most challenging hurdles. Wang Yuanyuan showed a faint smile, spreading out her arms to give Caier a tight hug, before turning back and taking the lead to head deeper into the fifth floor of the Tower of Eternity. Zhang Fangfang followed after with Caier, Lin Xin, and Han Yu right behind. At this point, only five members of the team were left, all of whom had a Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pill in their hand. Without a doubt, all the trials starting from this fifth floor were all prepared for powerhouses of the ninth step. Havinge here without having even reached the eighth step of cultivation, they already had no effort to spare. Continuing on, every step ahead would inevitably have a massive cost. And even if they fail, they will have to keep going forward, so that Long Haochen may have a chance to be resurrected, even at the cost of their lives. As bright light waves were released lightly, the surrounding air suddenly intensified after they walked fifty meters forward. The wind freely fluctuated in the hall, moving up and down, and dim green radiance shed in all directions. Wang Yuanyuan put the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pill in her mouth without hesitation, and so did the others. The five of them became one in a split second, forming a whole new formation. However, after taking the pill, Wang Yuanyuan still didnt take out her terrifying weapon Bloodstorm, only focusing on her huge Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Her footsteps were very steady, letting the spiritual energy obtained from herrades integrate with her own. The surface of her skin was starting to disperse some silver light, and both her eyes appeared particrly bright. A thick bloody aura came out from this powerful and determined female warrior, causing the nearby air to fluctuate violently. The air surrounding Wang Yuanyuan turned illusory due to all the spatial essence. The reason why they had taken the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pills earlier was that the enemy was very possibly of the fastest kind of wind mage. As expected, the interior of the Tower of Eternity abided by its own rules. As a green pir of light appeared afar off, a thin green skeleton appeared in the groups line of sight. In a thin brush of green light, the sky suddenly dispersed soft fluctuations of spiritual energy, just as if signalling the arrival of spring. A spring wind came brushing away, but in the midst of this feeling, waves of green wind des condensed in thetter part of the fifth floor of the Tower of Eternity. In an instant, myriads of wind des were gradually taking shape. Was this a domain or a spell? For a moment, everyone in the group shared these same thoughts. Only Wang Yuanyuan standing in the vanguard looked like she did not even put these wind des in her eye, focusing her sight on her own Gigantic Divine Soul Shield. Four silver crystals were on the gigantic shied, dispersing intense spatial attribute waves. While looking with determination, she swiftly took out another silver crystal, embedding it in the shields fifth hole. The instant this crystal was inserted inside the shield, an intense silver light abruptly rose from that shield, carrying the spatial spiritual energy released from Wang Yuanyuans body to produce fierce me-like fluctuations. A silver colored fog rapidly ascended over her body, Wang Yuanyuans whole body which used to be enveloped in silver light gradually twisted as she stood. The Divine Soul Shield was still silver colored, but the five silver crystals iid inside were all showing an orange colored luster. In other words, this Divine Soul Shield had started the process of entering the epic tier. Wang Yuanyuan didnt stop at that, and swiftly iid the sixth gem in turn. _Bang!_ A terrible silver sh resounded, like an ignited can of gunpowder in its instant of explosion. And just at this time, that wind element mages first attack also reached out. Multitudinous wind des carried ear-piercing sounds, shot from all directions toward the five from Bright Glimmer of Hope. Each wind de had a metallic gloss, just like a physical weapon, with the attached spiritual energy seemingly able to cut everything down. But these attacks met the silver radiance extending like a volcano. Dense and deep silver spatial spiritual energy turned into a silver dragon in a split second, enveloping Wang Yuanyuans group of five, and coiling rapidly. All the green de projections melted instantly upon contact with the silver dragon which let out some ripples all around. The distant green skeleton showed a slight shock. This powerful holy guard blessed with the soul of powerhouse could not recall having ever met such an opponent. But the previous attack was just a start. Lifting the green spear, he shouted lightly, Swift Wind! These mere words turned the whole space into green. Sparkling in green, the wholetter part of the fifth floor of the Tower of Eternity turned into a gigantic whirlpool without any chinks, and revolving at an astonishing speed. That was his domain, a wind elemental domain with great offensive capabilities. Perhaps the burst power of a wind mage did not reach that of a fire mage, but their speed and the duration of their offenses were in no way below. Upon release of the domain, the silver mes surrounding Wang Yuanyuans body started shaking violently. One could clearly see them turn intoyers uponyer of silver light, looking close to copse. Right now, the four people behind Wang Yuanyuan all had whole new looks. Although they had guessed that the next opponent would be extremely powerful, this wind mages strength really surpassed all their expectations. This second domain wielder clearly surpassed the previous earth warrior by far in offensive power and domain wielding ability. Furthermore, whereas the earth warriors domain was only supportive, this wind mages domain was able tounch powerful directed attacks. At its ninth step cultivation, this domain would be able to reach the forbidden spell level of power if given just a bit of time. How could Wang Yuanyuan resist in front of such a powerful attack? The cause is the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, making her skills temporarily able to withstand the enemy. But under the pills effects, she was unable to make use of her Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gates! No one was able of think of a way she could subdue the enemy under such circumstances. Furthermore, there was nothing the others could make out from her expression. How was Wang Yuanyuan feeling right now? Her eyes were full of determination, not looking at the distant enemy, but at the Divine Soul Shield in her hand. Her most powerful Silver Coiling Dragon was rapidly dispersed, as she held herst spatial crystal in her hand, slowly cing it onto thest cavity of the Divine Soul Shield. This instant, her eyes were filled to the brim with determination. She could also do what Sima Xian did, that was her only current thought. Maybe in herrades eyes, her epic tier upgraded Bloodstorm was her most powerful weapon, but only she knew that actually, the most powerful asset she had was still her Divine Soul Shield! However, its requirements in spiritual energy being so high, and the strain on her being far greater than Bloodstorm, she did not really make use of the most powerful abilities attached to the Divine Soul Shield. With her current cultivation, she could at most sustain for a short battle the use of five embedded gems, and the sixth spatial gem was already her limit after Cojoined Spiritual Boost. The Divine Soul Shield had in total seven cavities, but the seventh and the previous six were entirely different. After the sixth cavity is gemmed, the Divine Soul Shield was just a weapon. But this seventh made it a... Her left foot stepped forward, and Wang Yuanyuan abruptly stuck out her chest, releasing an intense spatial elemental spiritual energy, and causing the copsing silver dragon to gain a great deal of substance. Immediately throwing her stubborn gaze to the distant enemy, she looked at that wind mage. _Bang!_ An intense silver light was shot out, like myriads of silver arrows abruptly bursting out from Wang Yuanyuans body. The terrible silver htions surrounding her instantly reached their climax, especially all around her chest. Spirit st. Wang Yuanyuan utilized this powerful warrior amplifying ability. In some sense, Spirit st was a fuse for internal spiritual energy, instantly causing its ignition and enabling it to exert an even great fighting strength in a short duration, quite simr to the effects of the Knights Sacrifice ability. In the meantime, Wang Yuanyuan slowly lifted the Divine Soul Shield, reciting in a bloodthirsty voice, Almighty shield, please grant me you the true power of the Divine Soul blood. In the meantime, Wang Yuanyuan retrieved her left hand, knocking her fist onto her chest. Immediately, she spat a mouthful of blood, sshing all over the Divine Soul Shield, and the spatial crystal in her left hand swiftly made it into thest cavity of the Divine Soul Shield. Chapter 644 - Divine Soul Descent (III)

Chapter 644: Divine Soul Descent (III)

Trantor: GravityTales _Bang, bang, bang. The instant the spatial crystal made it into thest cavity, three sessive loud sounds reverberated._ In the midst of those violent rumbles, the spatial spiritual energy dispersed by Wang Yuanyuan grew threefold, or rather, sted three times at once. To the audiences shock, all they could see during the process of these three sts was an expanse of silver, but at the end of the sts, in a stupor, they witnessedthe sight of the originally iparably domineering wind elemental domain crumbling at once. What level of strength could do that Never had they expected Wang Yuanyuan to actually have such a power. At some unknown point, a gigantic figure had appeared in front of Wang Yuanyuan, over ten meters tall and fully equipped in silver armor. But from the outside, that armor was not shining in silver, but in reeking blood red. This ten meters tall gigantic warrior held in its left hand a shield, an erged version of the Divine Soul Shield, just as tall as that giant. With arge _bang_ , the warrior abruptly strode forward. The whole Tower of Eternity shook violently at each step he took. Right now, Wang Yuanyuans eyes were colored silver, and the Divine Soul Shield previously in her hand wasnt there anymore. One could distinctly see thin bloody beads flow outside her skin, as her whole body trembled severely. Gods Descent! This was clearly a Gods Descent. But unlike Caier and Long Haochen who had previously made disys of Gods Descent, Wang Yuanyuan was not a gods chosen one. She was borrowing the power of her weapon to activate Gods Descent. With her Gigantic Soul God blood vessels[a][b][c] as a catalyst and the Divine Soul Shield as an intermediary, she unexpectedly managed this inconceivable summon. The instant that terrible Gigantic Soul God strode forward, the ten meters long shield in his hand already sshed across. The next instant, the whole space became filled only with silver color. A stridentcerating sound could be heard everywhere that shield passed. A gods power! That was the power of a true god. Caier even concluded that at least none of her previous disys of Gods Descent couldpare with this Gigantic Soul God, and the same went even for Long Haochen. But what could be the cost to pay for such a terrible attack? Caier, Lin Xin, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang felt extremely tense right this instant. The wind mage was also full of shock due to this so sudden shocking scene. His hand moved rhythmically, andplex symbols appeared in front of him, as the shattered domain reconstituted anew. In a sh, nine whirlpools had gathered in front of him. These nine whirlpools werepletely different from the previous disy of the domain. Although they were much smaller in volume, they gave off far greater feelings of threat. Each little whirlpool dispersed a greenish-gold glow, flying at very slow speed, but heading towards the certain path of the Divine Soul Shield. After releasing those nine little whirlpools, the soulfire pulsing in the eyes of that green skeleton weakened greatly. It was clearly not a magic to take lightly. _Bzz._ The first whirlpool shattered the instant of contact, spattering green light to all directions. Immediately, the second, third, fourth, and fifth followed, none of which missed, to block the Divine Soul Shields path. But at the time of the sixth little whirlpool collision, the Divine Soul Shield made a short pause, as if signalling that its power was starting to get exhausted. Kill... Wang Yuanyuan roared to the sky, once again spraying out blood in her enraged shout. Immediately, arge bloody shadow rushed out from her body, dissolving into the Gigantic Soul God ahead, and the sttered Gigantic Soul God immediately regained its vigor. The seventh spatial crystal on Divine Soul Shield lit up resplendently, and immediately, a massive silver pir shot up loudly. This was a silver pir of light extending over ten meters. The remaining three green whirlpool were instantly swallowed inside alongside that green skeleton. A loud explosion shook the whole Tower of Eternity, causing light undtions of breath of death to faintly disperse at each shaking. After this blow terminated, the whole spiritual energy sharing effects produced by the Cojoined Spiritual Pills came to a stop. Wang Yuanyuan remained kneeled on the ground, entirely covered in blood, just like Sima Xian was just before. But unlike him, though the blood on her was leaking outside her body, there was no scar left on her. The ten meters tall Gigantic Soul God crumbled, and after the shield spiraled several continuous times, it pierced the ground in front of her. _Dang..._ In ear-piercing shatters, the seven spatial crystals on the Divine Soul Shield shattered at the same time, and the shield lost all its color, turning a pitch ck. Wang Yuanyuan still had a knee on the ground, motionless, as the silver light in her eyes gradually dissipated. Still, her look was directed ahead of her from beginning to end, gazing at where that immense silver pir of light gradually disappeared. Finally, all the silver light had vanished, and that green skelton was still standing there, shrouded all around by a solid looking green barrier, and in a standstill. _It did not kill him?_ Caiers group of four looked at that green skeleton in disbelief. But the next instant, _ng_ sounds reverberated, as the green light surrounding that green skeleton sttered like a falling egg, splitting open from head to toes. Third Holy Guard acknowledges allegiance to you. In a sh of green light, a sort of green arrow shot toward Caier, making way inside the Eternal Melody. Caier couldnt attend to feeling the heat from the Eternal Melody submerging her, and strode forward toward Wang Yuanyuan at once. What she saw was a deep murderous spirit and conviction gradually watering down. A look of relief and gratification gradually appeared, but her eyes had cleared, then be ashen white. This instant, a blood colored radiance shot to her side, containing a fist sized rune shing out from beside Caier to make its way inside Wang Yuanyuans forehead. Wang Yuanyuans body shook violently, and her originally ashen white pupils regained some color. Letting out a stuffy groan, she fell to the ground. Caier hastily caught her body, while on the other side Zhang Fangfang also copsed. Wang Yuanyuan was already unconscious, but Zhang Fangfang, still conscious, disyed a smile of satisfaction, This time, Yuanyuan is to be left to me without any possible other option. Now I can be satisfied. You all have to seed! After saying this, Zhang Fangfangs eyes shut, going unconscious. After he went unconscious too, a strange scene took ce. From Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang dispersed faint blood-colored rays, and on their foreheads started to glint simr blood-colored runes. These two runes werepletely different, but on their edge one could see that if they were joined, it would make a singleplete rune. But just what could they stand for? Han Yu supported Zhang Fangfangs body with his hand, slowly cing it beside Wang Yuanyuan. Kneeling on one knee, his fist on the chest, he resonantly performed a knight salute of the most solemn kind. This was an etiquette of great homage. Han Yu, hurry up and get on with healing magic! Why arent you treating them? Beside them, Lin Xin already couldnt hold his thoughts. Han Yu shook his head calmly, Theres no use, healing magic wont have any effect on them. Brother Zhang is the most respect-worthy young knight I have ever encountered outside Boss. Caier asked in a rush, Will there be anything happening to them? Han Yu shook his head, and replied, Their lives are not endangered, its just that... Lin Xin was hasty, Dont cut off what youre saying in the middle, can you? Just what is going on with them? Han Yu took a deep breath, also feeling emotional, If I am not mistaken, the power Yuanyuan just utilized was totally past her limits. Using her own blood vessels to call a Gods Descent through the Divine Soul Shield andunching two attacks depleted nearly all her vital forces. She had to ignite her own life, to raise her blood vessels to their limit of tolerance. Only like that could she achieve that summon. But as a result, Yuanyuans life ising to its limit after the battles termination. Didnt you say their lives were not endangered? Caier questioned hastily. This is where Brother Zhang really is worthy of respect. Although this is not a magic spell I am capable of using, it can be seen from the symbols that what he used should be a secret life-saving technique passed from old times, to transmit ones life to another, passing the casters vital force to a target on the verge of death to extend the targets life. From Brother Zhangs look and the gloss on this rune, he should have passed half his life straight to Yuanyuan, which is to say that if he originally should have had a hundred years left to live, now Yuanyuan and him will only be able to share fifty for each of them. Hearing Han Yu so far, Caier and Lin Xin both couldnt help but gasp. No matter how ice-cold Caiers dispositions were, she couldnt help but involuntarily cry out bitterly at this instant. Yuanyuan, why did you do that? If Haochen was let known that you guys had to pay such a cost for his sake, Im afraid he would not even be willing to let himself be resurrected. Shaking greatly, Caier understood that, toe so far, there had already been three of herrades that had to go to the brink of death, while Zhang Fangfang had to give half his life expectancy away. For the sake of resurrecting Long Haochen, they had paid far too much. [a]*TC* Not sure which chapter this was introduced, but you might want to check it [b]never I think [c]ok, I thought there was something about her revealing her special body characteristic to the group, but maybe not... 161 has her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, ... the might of this blood-bound equipment that is already close to the legendary tier That and her constant abnormal bloodlust must have gotten me confused with something else Chapter 645 - Deathgod, Cai’er! (I)

Chapter 645: Deathgod, Caier! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Han Yu dered, Dont put it that way, Caier. Yuanyuan was right just before, resurrecting Captain is not solely your responsibility. Ever since our Demon Hunt Squad was founded, how much did Captain sacrifice for us? Although we did not mention it a lot, everything was engraved deep inside our hearts. If we hadnt had Captain, maybe we would already have gotten wiped out long before. And how could we still be here on this day? How could we have gained the honor of getting called a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. Following Captain in demon territory gave us worth. Now that Captain has died in battle, even paying the cost of each of our lives is worth it if we can bring Captain back to life. This is what every one of us thinks. Without Captain, Bright Glimmer of Hope doesnt have its soul. We need him toe back to life and keep leading us, to go create even more miracles, to guide us in vanquishing demonkind. Even the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God had to acknowledge that Captains existence threatened all demonkinds survival, making Captains life even more important than all of ours added up altogether. Resurrecting Captain is necessary to see the dawn of the Alliances victory: no matter what the cost is, it will be worth it. Lin Xin nodded, Han Yu is right. As long as Captain is resurrected, I am willing to pay any cost. We have finally passed the trials on this fifth floor, but we will have to face even greater challenges next. The opponents will be even stronger, but only the three of us are left now. Caier, when ites to it, you mustnt stop us no matter what Han Yu and I will have to do. Looking at Lin Xin and Han Yu standing in front of her, Caier eyes were firm and resolute, already unstoppable by mere words. Havinge so far, they had to keep going forward, otherwise theirrades sacrifices would havee to naught. Unbinding Long Haochens body from her back, and cautiously cing it onto the ground, Caier didnt argue any longer with Lin Xin and Han Yu. At this point, she could only stay strong. As Long Haochens temporary recement as captain, she had a lot more responsibilities. Han Yu and Lin Xin sat across Caiers side. Petting the Eternal Melody full of warmth, she dered, The Tower of Eternity has seven floors in all. When we originally first came, Haochen had been offered Eluxs heritage. At that time, he said that his heritage was on the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, but that he had a plethora of trials to pass through before he would be able to meet him. Ten of the twelve holy guards have already showed up before us, so there are only twost ones left now, all of whom will inevitably appear in the next floor. ording to the previous disposition, it will very possibly be on the sixth floor that they will appear. In other words, the trials on the sixth floor will most likely be ourst ones. Han Yu nodded, It is highly probable. The trials of the fifth floor have all confronted us with domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step, and the sixth floor will go one step further. It wouldnt be justified for the seventh floors to also contain trials. If it really needed to be so strong, what point would there be to fight over a heritage? Lin Xin asked, But, what could this trial on the sixth floor taking it one step further be? Based on our previous encounters, we should have to meet a darkness elemental mage and a holy light wielding warrior. Could it be that these two domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step will appear together? From these words, the three of them had looks of total shock. In fact, one must know that of the six great elements, light and darkness were originally ced above the four natural elements. Therefore wielders of light and darkness were usually be a bit more powerful than wielders of the four natural elements. Even the appearance of only one of these would already be a considerable challenge to them, much less two of theming together. Han Yu furrowed his brows, They should not being together, right? That would be just too difficult to handle. In contrast, Caier shook her head, I hope that they can appear together. Why? Han Yu and Lin Xin asked almost at once. Caier replied, Thats because this is the only way we can pass through this sixth floor. The trials of the Tower of Eternity all gradually get harder, but thest trial is always bound to be much harder than all the previous ones. When we reach the sixth floor, in the case where we only encounter light and darkness elemental powerhouses alone, the increase in difficulty wont differ too much from previously, at least not qualitatively. But only if they appear together will the increase of difficulty make it usible as thest trial of the Tower of Eternity. Although such a trial will be much more difficult to face, at least its better than afterwards facing a totally unknown other trial. Han Yu murmured, Actually, it isnt necessarily a bad things for light and darkness to appear alongside each other. Not a bad thing? Thats two domain wielding powerhouses!! Lin Xin spoke in iprehension. Han Yu replied, But dont forget that out of all six great elements, light and darkness are the most conflicting. Tell me, how can light and darknessplement each other? And most of all, lets speak about domains. Domain are abilities ofrge scale, acting on a region. If domains of light and darkness appear together, they can only interfere with each other. How could a match even be considered? Maybe, if they appear together, they wont necessarily make use of domains, which will make it a bit easier for us to respond. Caier didnt utter a word, pondering deeply. She was strenuously trying to make guesses, but was still unable to tell what the sixth floor trial could be. Han Yu looked at Caier, Anyway, how about letting me try out? Caier rejected with haste, Out of the question! No matter what trials are awaiting us in the sixth floor, the examinee will be exceedingly powerful. And without sufficient strength, they surely wont even go all out, so you wont be able to scout out anything. We have only one chance, to deal with it all in one spurt, and pass through at once. Lets recover our strength at once: this time, none of you is to go against me. I am the only one who can possibly get through. Now formting more guesses would be of no use. Only by facing it for real would they be able to understand thest floors challenges. The three of them sat cross-legged, rapidly entering a meditative state to recover their spiritual energy. Despite the times of pause between the uses, taking Cojoined Spiritual Pills in such quick session still caused severe overdraft on their bodies. They were on the verge of facing the sixth floor, which would very possibly be the veryst one. This time, Caier didnt rush, and made sure they recovered their whole capabilities before continuing. In the sky, the shadow of death was still floating, calmly standing there, and dispersing a faintly discernible grey radiance. Just like a breathing human, every pulse of the aura on it caused the air in the Tower of Eternity to fluctuate slightly. Caier entered the state of cultivationpletely. After passing through the previous hurdles, her spirit and strength graduallypleted perfect harmonization after having just recovered her memories. At the same time, these few hard battles caused great liberation of her strength, which gained an important increase. At the time she was back to opening her eyes, even she didnt know how much time had passed. Lin Xin and Han Yu had opened their both eyes long ago, and all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope were reunited to her side. Chen Yinger was resting against Yang Wenzhaos bosom, Duan Yi supported Sima Xian on his other side, and the pale Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang were already awake. Although none of it could be told from their expressions, their breath was much, much weaker than before. Not even fluctuations of spiritual energy could be perceiveding out from them. You all came. Looking at therades in front of her, Caier couldnt help but purse up her lips. Caier, we will seed at any cost! We will climb to the sixth floor with you at any cost, and do our best for you. Chen Yingers voice was still very weak, but she spoke with determination. The others nodded just like her. Maybe they were already unable to do anymore to prepare the way for Caier, but they were willing toe even if it would be only for the sake of encouraging Caier in the following battle. Caier stood up slowly, giving a look at the Long Haochen lying down peacefully. She did not keep thanking them, because no words would be enough to express her gratitude. Havingrades such as you all is really great. Then lets ascend this sixth floor together! Saying that, she held Long Haochen, but this time, didnt attach him to her body using the chain. Turning back, she advanced toward the pir of light that had already appeared long before. The shadow of death in the sky followed ahead, and the instant Caier disappeared in the pir of light, it turned into streaks of light, disappearing inside the pir as well. Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope lent their arms to support each other, resolutely entering the pir of light. Streaks of radiant light shone, bringing them to the top floors of the Tower of Eternity. Sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity. After everyone passed through the teleporting gate, they all unconsciously stared at the same direction. This floor was different from the fifth floor, arranged around lines radiating from the center. The whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity was separatedpletely into two worlds. On the left, everything was pitch-ck, and on the right was a golden holy illumination. Light and darkness were separated clearly, and at their center was an expense of white energy. Caier cautiously ced Long Haochen on the ground, and turned toward herrades, Please take care of him guys. Han Yu, Lin Xin, Ill need to borrow your powers. Having Long Haochen on her back would make it hard for her to disy the full extent of her strength. Yes! Lin Xin and Han Yu strode forward simultaneously, taking a Cojoined Spiritual Pill each. Chapter 646 - Deathgod, Cai’er (II)

Chapter 646: Deathgod, Caier (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # Their movements were stopped by Caier, Its not about taking the Cojoined Spiritual Pills. I want to borrow your strengths through the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. You will lose all your spiritual energy in the process, and will need three months to recover it. In a bit, please bepletely rxed; thats the only way I can assimte your spiritual energies. The two of them were startled, so Caier still had such a method? From behind, the others all watched Caier attentively, as well as Long Haochen. The situation in the sixth floor was telling them that they were undoubtedly on the verge of facing light and darkness alongside each other. Would Caier truly be able to pass through this trial? No one knew if Caier would be able to make it: they were all praying silently deep in their hearts. Caier, we are there too. Our spiritual energy is yours. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi stood uppletely: they were the only two left with some spiritual energy of the group aside from Han Yu and Lin Xin. Caier didnt act modestly, and nodded, Alright. The four of them formed a row, with Caier standing in the front slowly lifting the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. Above her head, the shadow of death descended slightly. An ice-cold murderous spirit filled the air, but right now, this murderous spirit wasnt invasive, but had the form of a kind of extraordinary energy. The Tower of Eternity was filled with a very extensive breath of death. But this instant, it looked like the breath of death had suddenly disappeared at once and Caiers shadow of death became glittering. The area on Caiers chest glowed. It was not the light of the Eternal Melody, but a gray radiance forming gray halos hovering around her chest. The Sickle of the God of Death pointed forward, and aimed first at Han Yu. The sharp edge was pushed against Han Yus chest, causing thetter to fill a cold chill. He felt his whole body going cold, as an unsurpassed might surged out in the midst of that icy cold. The internal spiritual energy in his body felt like gushing out, turning into groups of white htions heading through Caier with the Sickle of the God of Death as extension. Just like Caier had instructed, Han Yu didnt resist andpletely loosened his body, allowing Caier to absorb it all. In just a moment, his over ten thousand supply of spiritual energy was reduced to naught. But, as the effect of the absorption had yet to finish, Han Yu activated the effects of his Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings, and dered, Caier, absorb from the others first. My spiritual stoves effects should improve your absorption further. Caier nodded silently, and the Sickle of the God of Death nextnded onto Lin Xin. The Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings epassed Lin Xin, Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao in its range of effects, greatly elerating their spiritual energy recovery. The Sickle of the God of Death kept flickering with deep coldness as it absorbed every drop of the fours spiritual energies. At the start, the four were originally standing, but as their spiritual energy was greatly diminishing, they had no choice but to sit down because of the feelings of weakness. Time passed second after second, and in the time needed to have a meal, Caier obtained over a hundred thousand spiritual energy from these four. This was thanks to the Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings. Without it, it would already be pretty good for Caier to get sixty thousand from these guys. Absorbing a hundred thousand spiritual energy caused Caiers whole body to release fluctuations of spiritual energy. Thin grey streams of air fluctuated lightly around her body. Everyone could totally feel the imposing ice-cold which the four who had gotten their spiritual energy absorbed had felt. The shadow of death in the sky became more and more distinct. The still illusory-looking face aside, every wrinkle on its grey armor became clear to view. Caier slowly bowed the Sickle of the God of Death towards herrades, showing her resolve in the depths of her gaze. All Demon Hunters from Bright Glimmer of Hope were aware of her thoughts. The resolute look she had gave off an indescribable feeling of deathly stillness. She had the determination to achieve a sure kill in this battle. Right now, none of them could stop Caier, and as they also knew, none of them would even be capable of it. Taking deep breaths, Caier ced her Sickle of the God of Death onto the ground. Immediately, the grey radiance surrounding her body formed into a grey lump spiralling around her. As a grey barrier was formed on her body, both Caiers feet shot out abruptly. If one absolutely had to describe the feeling she gave off, then nothingness would be very fitting. Even therades behind her felt that she seemed incorporeal. Layer uponyer of spiritual energy kept gushing out, and she was overflowing with murderous spirit as she quickly brandished the Sickle of the God of Death. A tyrannical gray ray was clearly visible, drilling forward and aiming at the junction in the midst of the world of light and darkness. At the same time Caier made this move, in the golden and dark opposite worlds appeared two lights and shadows. This instant, everyone felt like the sun and moon had appeared simultaneously in this sixth floor. Right, this was the feeling of the sun that symbolizes the day and the moon that symbolizes the night. These were two identically shaped skeletons, a golden skeleton in armor, and a ck skeleton in a gown. Just like Caier had anticipated, thesest two skeletons had appeared together. And, from the looks of this sixth floor, that white energy in the center seemed to make it so that their respective domains wouldnt counteract each other. _Bang._ A murderous gray almost corporeal spirit abruptly attacked the white barrier in the middle, causing the sixth floors spatial limits to sway slightly. That thin looking barrier was actually iparably tough and durable: even such an intense and sharp corporeal murderous spirit was unable to cause any damage whatsoever. Chaos attribute! And spatial attributes! Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan blurted out almost simultaneously. Their eyesight having grown stronger and stronger with their strength, they were able to perceive traces of the attributes they were pretty knowledgeable with. The mixture of chaos and space formed this separating barrier. The two skeletons moved together. The bright warrior was growing an immense pair of golden wings, and its body turned into a stream of light rushing straight at Caier. This ability seemed quite close to Long Haochens Lightspeed sh, but even faster. The instant of its release, the ce where the skeleton used to stand glittered with the shine of sunlight, and a dense light essence giving off a sticky vibe red out a discharge of radiant light. On the other side, the darkness mage lifted up its staff, and behind it appeared a dark purple crescent half-moon, from which a thick darkness element arose. Light and darkness had absolutely no way to harmonize, but the instant these two powerhouses made a move, Caier suddenly became stagnant in the midst of light and darkness. In other words, the barrier formed of chaos and space was right on her body, and right now, she was being attacked by darkness from the left, and light from the right. Her body was locked in the path of the two powerhouses attacks. Indeed, light and dark had no way to assimte each other, but under this clever setup, Caier was restricted to the central spot of the sixth floor. Being aimed at simultaneously by the powerful offenses from the light and dark elemental domains, she was pulled into the center of the room in a straight line. The restrictions inflicted by light and darkness pushed her into desperate straits at once. The expressions on the teams face took a sharp turn. The gap in difficulty between the fifth and sixth floors was just excessive. They originally believed that the trials on the fifth floor were already an excessive challenge, having two powerhouses of Space making use of domains. But in this trial, Caier was facing not only two powerhouses, but also attacks formed of repulsive power. Light and darkness opposed each other terrifyingly, making it so that in case these two elements impacted her body at the same time, the mutual repulsion would be sufficient to crush her bodypletely. Even in such desperate straits, Caier did not panic. Raising the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand, her whole body was in a state of great serenity. Striding once, her body moved and shot up in straight line. This instant, Caiers speed suddenly reached an indescribable level of terrifyingness, actually even exceeding that light warrior wielding its domains power. In a sh, she crossed ways with the light warrior and even crossed the darkness mages path withoutunching an attack. What kind of technique was that? One could only see a grey shadow moving at a speed that even an assassin of the ninth step wouldnt necessarily attain. Following Caiers frontal charge, that shadow of death that had kept floating so far finallynded to the ground. Following her like an afterimage, it finally blended into Caiers body after a short time of approach. A Gods Descent? In the minds of all Bright Glimmer of Hopes members appeared that same reaction. But, they had yet to understand the nature of this Gods Descent that Caier had employed. That shadow of death had appeared long before, on the battle of the third floor, and had taken part in the previous battle only for a short moment. But Caier hadnt yet utilized it, while still maintaining it. It was a wonder how a Gods Descent could be maintained and fermented for such a long time. Chapter 647 - Deathgod, Cai’er (III)

Chapter 647: Deathgod, Caier (III)

Trantor: GravityTales All gray, an endless gray. Caiers whole body sank in a pool of gray, and the instant that shadow of death suffused her body, thetter suddenly gained a slender feel. The spiritual wings on her back shrank as ripples of gray color circted all around her body. As Caier slowly turned back, the colors of her eyes changed, turning gray instead of ck, tinted with a sharp white. A white color generally gave off a cleansing feeling, but the white in Caier eyes seemed filled with inexhaustible magic power. The instant she turned back, the ck mage and light warriors movements became dull, not evenunching their attacks immediately. A gray barrier spread out from Caier, and a fantastic scene followed. The central area formed of chaos and space was unable to breach through this gray barrier, as it looked like Caier had embedded a huge gem in that area just then. This was already beyond astonishing. The ughter intenting out from her body disappeared at once, giving way only to deathly cold stillness, but this deathly stillness was not an aura of death either. Her long skirt drifting even without any wind, the white glow in Caiers eyes grew even further in intensity. Seven Arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood! Caier made a move, and the instant the Sickle of the God of Death wasunched, it was already glinting in a clear white color. This strike was not aimed at any opponent in the sidelines, but right into the central area. Right, splitting this area was her only chance, otherwise the pincer attack of the great domains of light and darkness elements would make her defeat the only possible conclusion. The dark mage waved his staff forward, and from it, a pitch-ck ray took shape. In the meantime, a half-moon shape behind him drifted forward, and its deep purple radiance chased after that ck ray. The light warrior didnt immediatelyunch an assault. The heavy sword in his hand was pointed to the sky, releasing a bright golden brilliance of iparable intensity. In a sh of gold, another projectile like that purple half-moon was shot at Caier. _Chi._ In an ear-piercing splitting sound, the white barrier shattered, and the powers of darkness and light instantly mixed together in their midst. However, right as these two totally opposite powers shed, the rays of the purple moon and the golden halo shed against Caier head on. The white ray released by the dark mage was split by Caiers Sickle of the God of Death, but slightly slowed down her movements. The next instant, the purple moon and golden ray began shing at once. But, mysteriously, as these two domains powers shed, the whole space suddenly came to a standstill. The area having lost its central nucleus, the light and darkness which should have shed violently came to a sudden stop, and then happened to join each other instead of colliding. Purple-ck and golden-yellow intertwined with each other, forming a head-sized circr yin-yang symbol. Seeing that, everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope couldnt help but feel a chill of stupefaction. _This is..._ A harmonization between light and darkness, a dual-element mixed magic! They had seen mixed magic before, but the pure mixture of light and darkness was something they had never expected to see! Chen Yingers Elemental Cage mixed the six elements to produce a formidable power, but it made use of some tricks, for instance, water and fire, as well as light and darkness, had to be divided by the other elements, preventing them froming into contact, otherwise she surely would have no way to control it. But what was just happening right before their eyes? A magicbining light and darkness,bining the light elemental and darkness elemental domains. To say nothing of that situation, there was no record of anything simr even in all the records left by humankind. That was a crazy mixture of light and darkness, and it gave rise to such a terrifying might! Could Caier block it? Even the Demon God Emperor would be surprised, seeing such a thing. The difficulty of this sixth floor went way beyond their expectations. These two Great Holy Guards were actually able to achieve suchbinatorial magic. How could they win? The instant that ball of light had appeared, the light and darkness elements on its two sides gathered extremely naturally. Those souls of powerhouses in the two skeletons eyes pulsed violently, and the whole Tower of Eternity shook due to this mixture. If such abinatorial magic should detonate... There would be no certainty that even the Tower of Eternity could bear it. That was the mixture between two domains of the ninth step, abination of explosiveness! Right at this instant, Caierunched her second attack. The white light in her vanished as she seemed to be entirely transparent, like a pure white sculpture. The Sickle of the God of Death pointed to the front and Caiers body slid forward quietly, before rushing to the ball of light ofbined light and darkness. A bizarre white light extended from her Sickle of the God of Death in the shape of a thread which nimbly encircled that ball of light. Shockingly, that white thread slowly cut through the midst of that ball of lightbining light and darkness, stripping all the spiritual energy contained inside. The mixture of light and darkness came to a stop, and the soulfires in the skeletons eyes pulsed once again, taking the same action ofunching another attack. That domainbination was originally their most powerful attack. If not for the fear that Caier had aroused in them with the powerful purifying force of Death in Childhood, destroying the barrier between light and darkness, they would not be so harsh as to show this move. But Caiers second attack shocked them once again. Those somewhat thin white threads were even more frightening than the previous instance of Death in Childhood, as that was a purifying force no element had a chance to resist. Combining light and darkness is easier said than done! An extraordinary bnce needed to be achieved, so that they would neither counteract nor swallow each other. This was something extremely hard to control, and needed all the elemental forcesposing it to reach a state of solidity. When pierced by those white threads, how could this state of bnce be maintained? The portions colored golden and purplish-ck instantly showed traces of instability, looking about to burst. The two skeletons guarding these floors were without doubt the number one and number two of the twelve holy guards. As the most powerful beings out of all the holy guards, they were the left and right arms of the Slumbering Cmity Elux. Their mastery of light and darkness had already reached the peak level. Seeing the ball of light about to burst, the two powerhouses simultaneously made the same move. The first holy guard, the holy warrior, swept his heavy sword in a circr motion, tracing a circle, and the second holy guard made the same motion with his staff. Due to the ravaging white threads, the ball of light took only an instant to be routed, with light essence and darkness essence gushing out from the two sides at once, rapidly melting toward the light warrior and darkness mage. All the golden and ck essence in the air returned to their respective directions. Upon seeing this scene, the mage of this group, Lin Xin, shivered unconsciously. This was absolutely not doable with just 200,000 spiritual energy. A mage able to transfer his or her thoughts to forcefully call back his elemental magic, what level of control was that? These two holy guards not only had an ultra-high control over magic power, but also a wless grasp of their own domain. This level of strength was just too terrifying. Their spiritual energy ought to have attained at least 300,000. Even withcking equipment, they were strong enough to match some demon gods in the top thirty-sixth ranks making full use of their Demon God Transformation. And Caier was facing off against two such powerhouses by herself: what a pressure! Even if Long Haochen was resurrected, he might not even necessarily win such a match. However, the previous courses of action confirmed some of Lin Xins thoughts. These first and second holy guards were indeed unwilling to let their spiritual energy collide. The rupture of the state of fusion would cause light and darkness to corrode each other, and therefore greatly affect their ability. Lin Xins only point of curiosity was: how could these light and darkness users show such a high level of mutual understanding? Powerhouses of the light and darkness elements should normally be mutually repulsed by each other. Light and darkness rapidly retracted in the same direction, causing an eye-catching scene to follow in the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity. However, the two great holy guards clearly hadnt such an easy time of regaining their own domains by these means. They had to sustain considerable bacshes from their domains. Two groans were heard at the same time. Drawing back, the fluctuations of spiritual energy they released became very frantic. Facing two such great powerhouses wielding light and darknessbinatorial magic, Caier not only did not suffer loss, but even had the advantage. If this was not happening right before their eyes, who would dare believe that? Caier had her eyes shut, the glow in them disappeared at once. Second of the Seven Arts of the God of Death, Death in Cleansing. All the white surrounding Caier, including the white filling her eyes, stemmed from the God of Deaths purifying power. Caiers Gods Descent was already in use from the start of the third floor, in the shape of that shadow of death. In another ce, Caier could only deploy her deathgods descent for five minutes at most, but this Tower of Eternity was not the same. Caier had gained some understanding as early as the first time she followed Long Haochen there. Thisprehension stemmed from the death energy inside the Tower of Eternity. The Tower of Eternity was the strongest divine tool of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux, absorbing souls to raise its power. So who could imagine how much death energy came out from it? And whats the God of Death? Thats the divinity in control of death itself! Not a deathbringer, but a death purifier. Through the cleansing of death, he could turn all the death energy into his own power. Thats the power of the God of Death. Chapter 648 - Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (I)

Chapter 648: Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (I)

Trantor: GravityTales # Caiers Gods Descent had been absorbing the death energy inside this Tower Eternity since their arrival on the third floor. This God of Deaths Descent was maintained through an incessant purification of that nearby death energy. The death energy in the sessive third, fourth and sixth floor was entirely wiped clean, and because the death energy in the first and second floor would not be strong enough to boost this deathgod much, Caier gave up on it. The reason why she did not unleash the Deathgods Descents power all this time was to make an ultimate attack. This Deathgods Descent was only affordable after she had the Spiritual Stove of Samsara absorb the spiritual energy of the other four. Right now, she was not only finally making use of Gods Descent, but moreoverpletely joining with that incarnation of the God of Death which had already purified so much death energy. This was an unreproducible process, as no other ce had such a massive death energy as the Tower of Eternity. If, right now, everyone was to leave the Tower of Eternity, they would take notice that all the specters surrounding it had disappeared, to be instead pure soul force. This was the great purifying ability of death. As Ye Xiaolei said before, Caier who had inherited the power of death should be the bane of a necromancer. None of their evil tendencies would show any effect on her. Caier should originally not have had the need to utilize the seven arts of the God of Death so fast, but the situation beat her expectations. Caier had been rating this floor quite highly, but still didnt think that light and darkness could harmonize in such way. This mixture of domains was really too terrifying. Right before, she could be said to be in a situation of life or death. If that ball of light really had been blown on her, the two great holy guards full power would have ignited, causing everyone here to die due to the explosion of light and darkness, including the two holy guards whose soulfires would have no way to be preserved. So, Caier took advantage of the fact that these two holy guards had the objective to put them to trial, not wipe them all out, which is why they directly stopped their attack midway so fearlessly. This is why these two great holy guards had withdrawn their own domains, and now suffered their bacshes. This way, she broke their unity as well as their domainbination, turning around the situation of her great disadvantage. Treading forward, Caiers body became hollow, and her third strike came at the same time darkness and light retracted. _Bzz_. Unordinary ripples carrying an iparable purifying force suddenly showed up. Caiers figure appeared, just like that. She had appeared right on the central point between the two great holy guards, the nearest spot to the two of them at the same time. Third art of God of Death, Deaths Scream. The power of the seven arts of the God of Death harmonized so perfectly with the Spiritual Stove of Samsara and the Sickle of the God of Death, that the full disy, was undoubtedly even above the fusion of Long Haochens pair of divine swords in strength. However, Caier also had a massive cost to pay. Launching Death in Purification, Caier chose to lose her sense of sight, which was not amongst the most important in a battle of this level. Right now, her other thought was to return to a state like when she reunited with Long Haochen in Holy City. Her eyes were unable to see, but her heart became all the more peaceful. All kinds of memories she had with Long Haochen shed through her mind, causing her to enter a special state. In case of utilization, the seven arts of the God of Death needed to be used in session. Otherwise, if Caier thinks of again using Death in Childhoodter, it wille at the same cost as the third art. They had to be used sequentially, which is why she chose to keep going on. One could see a jade-like htion spread out from Caiers current spot, striking against the two great holy guards. The restricting aspect of death towards any undead undoubtedly manifested at this point. The severe attack of Deaths Scream caused the two holy guards of the ninth step to groan once again. The soulfires in their eyes pulsed violently, and cracks even appeared on the forehead of the second holy guard, darkness elemental mage. Deaths Scream was an attack aimed thoroughly at the soul, using an extraordinary pattern of attack. Any spiritual energy, technique, equipment of defense measure would be totally futile. But it was not an attack of the mental type, as it was also making use of a power exclusive to death, purification. Maybe an infinitely pure person would have no way to get purified, and in that case, Deaths Scream would show no use, but if some impurity exists in ones mind, or a lot of negative emotions, this Death in Hissing would be proportionally amplified, up to the level of fracturing the enemys soul. Without a doubt, the first holy guard using light attribute had a much higher degree of purity, so the second holy guard took far more damage in the impact. The third of the seven arts of the god of death instantly made herrades tense. Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao did not know about the kind of ability Caier was using, but how could it be the case for the others? Originally, back when Caier hadnt yet awakened to the divine power of death, the bursts of power of the Spiritual Stove of Samsara against the enemy would cause her to lose some of her senses for a long duration. Right now, these seven arts of the God of Death were far more terrifying than the original Spiritual Stove of Samsara. These current seven arts of the God of Death were far more terrifying than the previous Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Caier relied on it to withstand these two domain-wielding powerhouses. Even with the backing of herrades spiritual energies and the Gods Descent, the bacshes from the spiritual stove were inescapable. Caiers movements didnte to a stop: Death in Childhood, Death in Cleansing, and Death in Hissing gave her a strong control of the battlefield. As a gods chosen one just like Haochen, Caiers awakening should have intensified her strength much more than Long Haochen. But because of the state of her lost memories, her power was still in a state of adaptation. No matter what one could say, Long Haochen became Scion of Light at the age of ten years old, and his constitution didnt have a divine tool attached. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was obtained prettyte, when his ability was already well-blown. Therefore, although Long Haochen always made the greatest disys of prowess in the team, and had the highest cultivation. In terms of individual strength, Caier was actually above him despite having yet to reach the eighth step. None of Long Haochens ability could possibly block her whole set of attacks forming the God of Deaths seven arts. But Caiers future potential had no way topare with Long Haochens. Her gain in strength was only based in her cultivation and the power of her seven arts. But Long Haochens future growth was developed from all sides. All things considered, he would surpass her in the end, but this didnt mean anything if he was not alive. Long Haochen having died, Caier no longer exercised restraint hiding behind her lover. Her memories havinge back gave her back the entirety of her strength andprehension of her divine powers of death. Once again blending into nothingness, her overflowing killing intent already filled the whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity and filled it with ashen grey, just as if she had a domain of her own. The instant she disappeared, the darkness mage suddenly trembled severely, the soulfire in his eyes pulsing frantically. Taking long breaths, he could feel that he was Caiers target. At the very moment, the two holy guards were withdrawing their spiritual energy, so the light warrior did not have the leeway to save him even if he wanted. In these circumstances, he would only rely on himself. As guardians of the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity, these two holy guards were really extremely powerful, far above the groups expectations. This was not only about the level of their spiritual energy, but the most important point was their control over light and darkness. The darkness mage revoked his staff the instant Caier disappeared, and ced it against his chest. Immediately, a purplish-ck radiance broke out from his chest. It turned into a two-meter-tall purplish-ck colored ball wrapping all around him, just like a purple full moon suddenly arising in there. Domain control, internal release for self-defense. Right, that purplish-ck was still his domains power; but under his great control, the domain was contracted by force, being brought down to a diameter of two meters, making it far more powerful than before in a small scale. Being able to aplish such a feat after sustaining two sessive powerful bacshes really showed the great attainment attained by the dark mage in cultivation. As it took shape, Caier appeared right above his head with no forewarning. A diamond-shaped gray crystal had at some point appeared on Caiers forehead. As the Sickle of the God of Death slowly descended, that gray crystal immediately let out myriads of gray rays, all of which instantly gathered as an extension of the sharp de. Next, the Sickle of the God of Death made way inside that purplish-ck colored ball. A sparkling gray color intruded into that substantial purplish-ck domain as if it was cutting through butter as it made its way inside. Fourth of the Seven arts of the God of Death, Deathgods Kiss. Such a tyrannical domain was actually still split in two by this attack. One could clearly see myriad gray rays abruptly shooting through that purplish-ck ball, crushing over half of the domain. Chapter 649 - Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (II)

Chapter 649: Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The remaining half of the domain instantly weakened, and one could clearly see that dark mage retire to the remaining half of the domain. His staff-grasping right hand waspletely smashed to pieces and purified by the grey radiance. But at the same time, the light warrior from the other side moved. In a glow of bright light, the heavy sword grasped in both his hands was brandished over his head. An intense sunshine seemed to be one with him as his gold-red figure shed like lightning in the midst of frantic elerations. This attack seemed able to split the earth, just like the unsurpassable sunfire. Caier shifted her stance, flinging her now ash-gray-colored hair back, scattering it away. Just like a grey waterfall, it traced an arc, whirling at slow speed. The gray diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead disappeared, but an iparably strong and vigorous gray radiance emerged from her chest. All the surroundings suddenly slowed down: Caier was moving slowly, but that light warrior who was originally dashing at a light-speed also slowed down. The movements of the two became very distinct. In this process of slowdown, a transparent gray entity emerged from Caier body, that was simr to Caier, but illusory and transparent looking. Her hands kept forming seals in front of her chest, and the gray figure shed, marking extremelyplex runes onto Caiers back. Fifth of the Seven arts of the God of Death, Deaths Silent Annihtion. In the process of slowdown, the next instant after those gray runes were marked into her back, the Sickle of the God of Death turned into seven other weapons of the same shape, the first being the slowest while every next one was a bit faster, with each one following each other. At the time the Sickle swept at the already seriously wounded darkness mage, the seven sickles made one, and a translucent ash-gray de projection was shot at the darkness mage, before flying toward the rushing light mage. That de projection was extremely bizarre. Its main part was like a substantial crystal of a gray color, but all around the de converged circles of intense white light, which revolved all around it. It did not emit killing intent nor death energy, but gave off, just at the sight of it, a choking feeling. The instant that de projection flew off, space and time returned to normal, all speeds reinstated to their original state right before the sword of that light mage shed against that annihting projectile. The darkness mage under Caiers feet directly disappeared into a gray fog, and his powerhouses soul integrated with the Eternal Melody in a ck sh. An ear-piercing sound of friction came from a white smoke. It was a thrust of intensityparable to a red-heated piece of iron shing against a piece of ice. In that quick impact, all the domain power of the light warrior was gathered at once to block, his whole body stagnating in the sky. The intense golden-red radiance emanating from his body was shrouded in the midst of a drizzling white htion, shing against the light essence dispersed from his body. That white light was the annihting light of purification attached to the fifth of the seven arts of the god of death, able to purify any elemental essence. Even an elemental attack of much stronger properties would get substantially consumed and purified. Although the light warrior was making use of the light attribute, he was, after all, an undead creature born from a soul of a powerhouse, making the light of purification his bane. In addition, even with the support of his domains power, his originally quite wounded state made it very hard for him to rush out from the eroding light of purification. Caier! The whole group cried out unknowingly in rm! Caier had already had to use five of the seven arts of the God of Death since the beginning of the fight, but she still showed no signs of stopping. A gray path extended underneath her, over the midst of which she stayed afloat. On the surface, the current Caier looked no different than normal, as if none of that had affected her. But everyone could clearly see that when the seven arts of the God of Death reached such a level, the bacsh inflicted on her could only be equally fearful. As the light warrior managed to expel most of the corroding effects of the annihting purification, the gray path had extended underneath him. The next instant, Caier moved, just like a gray butterfly throwing itself at that light warrior who had holy fire ascending over his body. The current Caier was in an extraordinary state of mind. The Sickle of the God of Deathunched an attack at astonishing speed: as a translucent de projection shone upon him, the soulfire in the eyes of the light warrior pulsed in extreme terror. First of the seven arts of death, Death in Childhood. Second art, Cleansing Death. Third art, Deaths Scream. Fourth art, Deathgods Kiss. Fifth art, Deaths Silent Annihtion. The five consecutive supreme arts that wereunched in a spurt united as one, unleashing the inevitable might of the deathgod, a journey in the iparablend of death. And that was the sixth art of the God of Death, Death in Journey. The unity of the five arts formed this sixth absolute force. The first art, Death in Childhood, forced the light warrior to using his heavy sword to barely resist with his all, but the second art filled his swords with cracks, his whole body once again shrouded in light of purification. Then Deaths Scream locked his body in a stiff state, before Deathgods Kiss and Death in Silent Annihtion shed in turn. Caier appeared right behind the light warrior. shes of gray and white colors slowly dispersed, and a faint htion shed through. Caier stood there silently, her hands holding the handle of the Sickle of the God of Death. She looked extremely calm as the ash grey radiance on her body dispersed at an astonishing speed. But from her straight posture, she was not in any state of weakness. _Pop._ The frozen light instantly turned into fine powder, before a golden radiance traced an arc to arrive in front of Caier and enter into the Eternal Melody hanging on her chest. Sess! She had just seeded, relying on the power of six of the seven arts of the God of Death, in crushing two holy guards of the ninth step able to unite their domain. In front of the Deathgod, the great might of light and darkness withered away in purification. The Saint Daughter of Samsara Caier had just seeded: she had to use all she had, but she managed to break through the sixth floor of this Tower of Eternity. At the very moment, she seemed to be in a far lighter state than her previously desperately woundedrades, but the deeply wounded Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan were the ones unable to refrain from their overflowing tears. They didnt know about the bacsh that Caier had to sustain after using these six arts of the God of Death, and all were afraid that this bacsh wouldst for a very long duration. Caier was standing calmly, but the next instant, her body suddenly shivered. Deep htions dispersed from her chest. First was a red, then a blue, a green, a yellow, a ck, and finally golden htions circling back and forth and flickering around each other, causing Caiers fair figure to let out a dazzling light. As this multicolored radiance flickered, the whole Tower of Eternity lit up, and this multicolored light shone in the midst of the Tower of Eternity. That was a dazzling lighting, giving off an indescribable feeling of brightness. This whole radiance came out from the Eternal Melody hanging on Caiers chest. Her body kept shivering lightly, and the next instant, the multicolored radiance on Caiers body shone even more remarkably. Making use of the six arts of the God of Death already drew out her whole power. If not for the fusion process the Spiritual Stove of Samsara had undergone, she would be nothing more than a walking corpse right now. The first art of Death in Childhood didnt cause any bacsh, but starting from the fifth, the bacsh would affect her whole body. The disappearance of the senses in all ones body will result in death. And right now, Caier had only her sixth sense left, perception. Her vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch had already disappeared, leaving her left with only her perception. This instant, she was already iparably weakened, to the extent that she was not even able to raise a finger, as she made the astonishing discovery of a mystical force surging out from her body, causing a massive amount of surrounding energy to gather onto her body. A feeling of warmth spread through her whole body, causing her iparable feeling of weakness to disappear swiftly, as the spiritual energy in her body was replenished at an astonishing speed. Which was to say that this force was on the same level as the post-fusion Spiritual Stove of Samsara. In fact, this was the force belonging to the Tower of Eternity, belonging to the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. The multi-colored htion gained in intensity with Caier in its midst, causing her darkened skin to recover its original gloss. To her shock, Caier found out that her lost senses were unexpectedly recovering. She was not the only one experiencing this kind of feeling. Although the center of this multi-colored light was her, her otherrades were directly exposed to that light, including Long Haochen lying on the ground who was also cleansed by this multi-colored light. The other heavily wounded teammates recovered at an astonishing speed from their injuries, the same going even for Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuans lost vital force. This light was really beyond miraculous; no known healing forbidden spell couldpare with that elemental force of iparable purity. This instant, everyone could sense the elemental gods of fire, water, wind, earth, light, and darkness descending and joining their forces to heal the whole groups injuries. Chapter 650 - Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (III)

Chapter 650: Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Caier gradually felt shes of understanding filling her. Right, all the tests they had to bear were so challenging, and they could only rely on their own power to pass through. The Eternal Melody didnt give them any kind of help, and some of them were narrowly killed during the trials. But this was in the end a trial, not a battle to death! No matter what kind of a cruel person the Holy Necromancer Elux could be, he had left this ce for the sake of choosing a sessor to inherit his great strength, and not to cause destruction. So, after everyone passed through this sixth trial, everything seemed to be over, which is why the Tower of Eternity caused this powerful six-elemental recovering light to descend, helping them to recover from their wounds and replenishing them in energy. Elux wouldnt want apletely bruised disciple, let alone one wounded beyond recovery. The first ones to recover were Lin Xin, Han Yu, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi who had left all their spiritual energy to Caier, and even had some damage in their channels due to that. But it took them under ten minutes to recover fully, with a capacity of spiritual energy even above their original peak. This was due to the development of their capabilities through incessant battles. The next one was Chen Yinger, whose face gradually regained red tints. Managing to get up under Yang Wenzhaos assistance, she felt her depleted strengthing back slowly, and half an hourter, she had the pleasant surprise to find out about her total recovery. How bizarre: right after recovering entirely, that multicolored radiance started to avoid her and stop integrating. This instant, the different degrees of the others wounds were visible. Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, and Zhang Fangfang were already soaked in the light for no less than one hour, and it was about the same for the distant Caier. And, that multicolored light was maintained as if it had no limits. After another hour passed, Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuan opened their eyes simultaneously, filled with great joy as their vital forces were already recovered fully. It was not that Wang Yuanyuans injuries were not as severe as Sima Xian: in reality, she had already sacrificed her life at that time, and was originally supposed to be dead, but Zhang Fangfang was there to share that bacsh of hers, as well as offering a half of his vital force to her Sima Xians recovery took close to four hours toplete. As he groped his bald head while standing up, everyone couldnt help but cheer for him. That was the feeling of being done with the hard times. Their struggles and sacrifices were being paid back, and the more severe their wounds were, the more they gained from the Tower of Eternitys trials. For instance, Sima Xians internal spiritual had directly soared to the eighth rank of the seventh step, nearing closely the eighth step. The same went for Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang, but because they had originally higher levels of cultivation, their upgrade was not as great as Sima Xian. The others were also boosted more or less greatly. Their cheers didntst for long beforeing to normal, because that multicolored light did not disappear after their recovery. The light was still there, seemingly gathered only on those two, Long Haochen and Caier. What a strange thing to behold: Long Haochen was clearly already dead, yet that multicolored light kept rushing forth inside his body. And the same went for Caier: the two of them had be the cores of this multicolored htion. Will Boss resurrect like that? Lin Xin raised the question with traces of hope. Han Yu silently shook his head, Not likely. After all, Boss is already dead. See, the wound on his chest doesnt show any traces of recovery. The Demon God Emperors strength is just that terrifying, that injury is impossible to treat, to say nothing about resurrecting him. It looks like we will have to head for the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity. But where is the seventh floor? Caier has already passed through the sixth floor, but howe there is no pathway for the seventh floor showing up? Chen Yinger asked in iprehension. Zhang Fangfang responded, For now, we can only wait. Maybe it wille out by itself after this multicolored light terminates Wang Yuanyuan remarked with some worries, Hopefully they can make it fast. Boss could onlyst for seven days, and thats without including the time needed to resurrect him. We have already used up two days, so we have only five days left. Sima Xian remarked, Thats already pretty good. We have five days left: they cant possibly keep absorbing this light for such a long time. Time passed, minutes after minutes. Six hours, seven hours, eight hours, nine hours Twelve hours. When no less than twelve hours had passed, the group started to be get anxious. How much longer would thisst? Bur right because of this, they couldnt help but secretly admire Caier. After each of them recovered fully, the assimtion of the multicolored light stopped immediately. The already deceased Long Haochen aside, Caier certainly made it back alive after this battle, yet this multicolored light soaked her for a whole twelve hours, which was not even enough for her to recover entirely. From this one could see the terror of the bacsh from the seven arts of the God of Death. As everyone started to grow more and more worried, the multicolored light in the sky suddenly dimmed down, vanishing slowly. Caier opened both her eyes as this multicolored radiance disappeared from sight. Caier! Everyone immediately rushed to her in excitement. Sima took Long Haochens corpse in his arms before running to join Caiers side. , Chen Yinger grabbed Caiers arm, attentively watching her face, How are you, Caier? So the bacsh of your seven arts of the God of Death was... Caier showed a faint smile, I didnt expect my bacsh to actually disappear. It seemed to get counteracted by the ability of this Tower of Eternity. Thats great! Chen Yinger immediately shouted in joy. They all knew that upon reaching the sixth of the seven arts of the God of Death, Caiers bacsh would very possibly persist for several years, and some part of her may not ever recover again. As everyone was soaked in joy, Caiers chest suddenly lit up. This phenomenon was not the same as the previous multicolored radiance: through Caiers clothes, the skull shaped pendant started to make noises. The ne binding it disappeared in the midst of a brilliant light. That golden skull slowly floated above Caiers head, its small eyes suddenly lighting up. Two tiny but extremely brilliant golden mes pulsed up. Suddenly, the two lights inside its eyes shot like two needles toward the end of the sixth floor. Everywhere the golden light passed, the originally hazy-looking sixth floor was lit up, and at its end, another sculpture of Elux came into view. This sculpture was entirely gold colored, with only the hearts spot colored ck. From the point of view of the group, a ck me seemed to ascend above it. A brilliant body, even with a dead heart soaked in darkness. Maybe this was the truest portrayal of the Slumbering Cmity Elux. Compared to the sculpture of the fifth floor, this one faintly gave out a much sadder feel. The rays shot from the eyes of the golden skulling from the Eternal Melody entered into the eyes of this sculpture of the Slumbering Cmity, and immediately, an intense golden me ignited in result, as the whole sixth floor was set ame. From the outside, a pir seem to form from these intense golden mes. The death energy that Caier had originally cleansed there abruptly became rich, and in the midst of the intense death energy appeared countless departed spirits filled with negative feelings. In such an environment, an iparably rich light energy arose. This instant, the concentration of light essence in this sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity even exceeded that of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon at the time they had found it in the Swamps of Gloom. Only, although the light essence was massive and rich, it was filled with bits of malevolence,pletely unlike the peaceful feelings the Divine Snail Shield originally used to let out. The pairs of massive pirs set to fire, the whole sixth floor became entirely illuminated. An intense golden htion spread out in the sky, and that light energy kept growing in intensity, giving off to Caiers group the feeling of getting soaked in ake of light essence. Counting Sima Xian, a total of five light users were present. But they didnt dare absorb the slightest bit of this rich light essence. This light essence permeated inside an extensive energy of death, giving them unawares strong feelings of rejection. Only Caier preserved a natural expression. As the one chosen by the God of Death, any spectral and death energy around her body would only need a moment before dispersing. An aged voice suddenly sounded out from all four directions. That was a kind of soul transmission, that Caier would be able to hear even after losing all her six senses. Wee to the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity. The fact you made it here proves that you are strong enough to seed to me. Step on thesest stairs: I will be waiting for you on the seventh floor. You only have to meet me face to face and I will make you my disciple. Otherwise, there will be no connection between the two of us. The aged voice did not carry any emotional vibes: if Long Haochen was still alive, he would definitely be able to tell everyone that this voice was exactly the same as the one he had heard the first time he stepped into the Tower of Eternity. The only difference was that it was not as cordial back then, and sounded extremely cold instead. Chapter 651 - Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (I)

Chapter 651: Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The Holy Necromancer only left these few simple words before his voice disappeared. The sculpture at the end of the sixth floor suddenly made a movement, slowly moving its right arm which brandished a staff pointed toward the dome on the top of the floor. The next instant, the whole sixth floor shone in a golden color. The group was only able to see that golden gloss in their lines of sight, and all couldnt help but shut their eyes because of its dazzling aspect. The liquid-feeling light essence became solid at once that instant, making them unable to move in the slightest. This intense light did notst for too long, and when it vanished, everyone could see that the whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity was alreadypletely different. The surroundings were pitch-ck, and a night sky formed the surroundings. An infinity of resplendent starlights glinted all around. Right now, although they had a firm feeling as when walking on the ground, they looked just like they were walking in the midst of a night sky, staying afloat! Under the illumination of the stars, this first experience filled them with a bizarre feeling. Not far in front of them had appeared a ten-meter-tall golden gate formed of two doors, shut-tight right now. This sliding gate did not have any gorgeous decorations or ornaments, it was only filled with a deep golden color. They couldnt see what was behind, but what that golden sliding gate dispersed was an abundant death energy. A golden light swept past Caiers head. She unconsciously lifted up her hand to catch it; impressively, that was the Eternal Melody. However, right now it wasnt just a simple skull anymore. From the tip of the skull extended a metallic key. A bizarre feeling filled Caiers head, faintly realizing that everything she had experienced was actually a preparation for opening this gate. Every victory against a holy guard not only got her his approval and assistance, but also poured the power of its soul of a powerhouse inside the Eternal Melody. When the twelve Holy guards are all absorbed inside the Eternal Melody, the ignition of the whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity was intended by the Slumbering Cmity. That would cause this golden gate to appear, its key being the Eternal Melody. What is the right path to take? Caier didnt know, but right now, she already had no way out. Turning back, Caier looked at the others, nibbling her lower lip, I will resurrect Long Haochen no matter what. No matter what! Everyone repeated loudly. Wang Yuanyuan took Long Haochen from Sima Xians hand, and attached him onto Caiers back tightly using the chains. As the Eternal Melody in Caiers hand approached that golden gate closely, everyone couldnt help but feel tense, even more than during all the previous trials. For the sake of reaching this objective, they had spared no efforts, and that objective was right in front of their eyes. Just like after returning home a long timeter, this made them instead even more nervous. Regardless of whether they would be able to resurrect Long Haochen with this move, they had only one final chance. After sparing no cost to arrive there at the risk of their lives, the matter of whether they could seed was really too important. Caier didnt have any perplexed or apprehensive feelings anymore in her eyes, only determination and devotion. Her only thought was to resurrect Long Haochen. If that couldnt be done, then she could only apany him in the other side where they would set up their own home. At the moment, Caier couldnt attend to humanitys situation: she only had Long Haochen in her heart. What use would there be to keep living if her beloved person stayed deceased? He was her whole world. The instant he died, her world just copsed. The golden gate was heavy and full of awe. When Caier arrived in front of it, the Eternal Melody key in her hand dispersed a scorching heat. Lifting her hand, Caier put that key in, and it disappeared in this golden gate. Immediately, an rippling golden htion spread out from this gate of light, and the surrounding night sky flickered in golden light. Without the slightest sound, the two doors opened slowly. The whole Bright Glimmer of Hopes group controlled their breaths as they took a look. Right now, they felt iparably nervous: the matter of whether Long Haochen could make it out alive would depend on this moment. Their view gathered onto the opening gate. Just what was behind? They saw very rapidly. The final road was right before them. More urately, that was a golden flight of steps, which elevated in the midst of the illumination of the night sky, leading even higher in the night sky. These stairs were ced at a slope of forty-five degrees, with this steep slope and an even step height all the way upwards to where bright shes of light emanated. This was an aerial passage, extending high in the sky. But this passage seemed to have no end in sight Kowtow after each step on the aerial passage. A majestic voice was transmitted from the bright gate of light to each persons ear. So we actually have to kowtow at each step? They were all rmed, but Caier still showed no hesitations and immediately stepped through the gate and kneeled on the first step. No matter how arrogant, she had to set that trait aside for the sake of her loved one. As long as Long Haochen would be saved, Caier believed anything to be worth it. The rest of the group unwittingly went through the gate of light, but although open, it had a massive resistance. That force rejected them all, and only Caier and Long Haochen on her back were able to go through. After kneeling once, Caier took a higher step, then kneeled once again, paying her respects. Long Haochen on her back swayed only lightly in the process. Lin Xin asked Sima Xian hesitantly, Is this path going to be highly oppressive? Sima Xian nodded and reply, Very possibly. This should also be a kind of trial. At this point, he suddenly became rmed and murmured, We have already vanquished the twelve holy guards and passed the six floors trials. This path cant be a trial for making it to the seventh floor right? Hearing him, the whole groups expressions looked different. They had all already seen personally how hard the trial on the sixth floor was. If there was another trial even in this seventh floor, everyone was afraid that even Caier wouldnt be able to bear it. Wang Yuanyuan responded in a grave tone, There should not be a trial of strength right? The trials we have already passed were already hard enough. If theres yet another even harder trial, what need would there be to even fight for Eluxs inheritance. I think that even if this turns out to be a trial, it should be for evaluating other aspects than sheer cultivation strength. They were taking sessive guesses, but the only one to really know would be Caier. This path to the sky had no end in sight, and wasntprised with any oppressive existence, with nothing there to pressure her or stop her advance. But, at the first step she took after passing through the gate, all the internal and external spiritual energy in her vanished. She had absolutely no idea of which miracle could make all traces of her cultivation vanish. At the very moment, she was not the Saint Daughter of Samsara anymore, but just an all the more ordinary girl, with at most a better overall body condition than her peers. Long Haochen was neither overweight nor underweight, making Caier have no feeling of weight at the time her cultivation was still present. But the current Caier had neither her internal nor external spiritual energy, so Long Haochen on her back felt heavy. Stepping and kowtowing in session, Caier already started to get slower after climbing for just ten or so stairs. Sweat had already started to form on her forehead, and her legs and waist already felt numb. Caier knew that if she couldnt inherit from Elux, all their previous efforts wille to naught. But with Long Haochen on her back, and without backing from her spiritual energy, how could she even go far? Another person would perhaps already be starting to think about pros and cons, or perhaps even give up, but Caier only had determination in her. The path to the sky beyond was getting harder and harder, but she didnt flinch, only filled with one thought, that she would either bring Long Haochen to the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, or die in the attempt. With such a resolve, she did not have the slightest negative feeling, and these difficult times instead made her even more stubborn. With one stair and one kneel, Caier did not turn back even once. There was nothing else but the stairs going upwards in her eyes. Her footsteps were extremely steady. One step, one kneel, get up. And so on, and so forth over and over again. When Caier reached her twentieth stair, everyone standing on the other side of the gate could already see her pained look. Is this path to the sky really pressuring? Otherwise how could she already start to get slower so rapidly at her level of cultivation? But if that was really pressuring, she should be resisting thanks to using her spiritual energy. Yet there was not the slightest spiritual energy flowing out from her body. They had stopped talking, as a talk would never be as tangible as truth. Caier was already working on passing that path to the sky, advancing without pause. Caier, you can do it! Wang Yuanyuan clenched her fists. All they could do was to cheer for Caier now, and support her with their feelings. When Caier was at the thirtieth stair, her whole body was aching terribly, especially her knees which felt as if myriads of needles had pierced through them. Sweat was already drenching over all her body. After bowing down for thirty times, half her body was already drenched in sweat. Chapter 652 - Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (II)

Chapter 652: Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # If she wasnt carrying Long Haochen on her back, she would have at least gone through two hundred stairs before this situation would have arisen. She would even be able to move faster and more unrestrainedly. And now, Caier had on her back a Long Haochen weighing over eighty kilograms! And at the same time, her weight didnt reach one hundred kilograms. This burden was really too heavy for her body. But Caier didnt stop. In the end, the pain of her body was unable to affect her heart in the slightest. She took firm steps in the process of advancing and kowtowing. Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven forty-two, forty-three, forty-four. Look everyone, whats that? Chen Yinger suddenly called out. Everyone followed her pointed finger, to see that at some point those sparkling pure gold stairs had gained two tints of faint red color. This was a mild red, that one wouldnt discover without paying great attention. Theres more! Chen Yinger called out once again, and as Caier once again took another step, two thin red traces had flowed from one stair higher. Han Yu clenched his fists. Even despite his strong character, his voice was unexpectedly shaky, Caier is wounded in the knee. Right, those thin red traces were blood, Caiers blood. After over forty steps, burdened by the eighty kilograms weighing Long Haochen, her long skirt was already torn, which is how her blood could be left on the step. Everyone couldnt help but worry for Caier. Although they didnt know why Caier would let herself bear such a pain, right now, it was really obvious to see that this path was abnormal. Although this path stripped all her spiritual energy, that was not enough to bend her willpower. Due to the pain she had to sustain since she was young, Caiers willpower had be extraordinary. Moreover, her goal now was nothing else but to resurrect her man. One step after another, each step a kowtow. Blood drops kept falling two by two, and at the time she reached the fifty seventh stair, her pair of blood drops turned into three, that third oneing from Caiers forehead. Caier was already in Yang Wenzhaos arms, and didnt dare look anymore, lost in tears. The others also unconsciously shut their eyes. Their bodies and minds were shaken violently. Caier was really too strong. Caier didnt take any pause, seemingly feeling no pain at all. Fifty stairs, sixty stairs, seventy stairs, eighty stairs. Those stairs were painful, and she had to staggeringly go on. Her body was already close to copse, and the blood trails left on the ground started to form a puddle at the bottom of the stairs. But she still kept going on, climbing without rest. A deep force of iparable scale seemed to be supporting her gradually weakening body. _Bam!_ On the one hundred twelfth stair, Caier suddenly fell down, violently smashing the stairs on the ground. But her right arm still grasped the bottom of the stairs, so that she wouldnt slip down. Blood covered the whole hem of her skirt, and as her tiptoes slided along the way, Caiers face of originally extreme beauty had already be full of blood. Because her body was far too burdened, it was shaking violently. Only her eyes and look remained firm, resolute. With a violent gasp for breath, she barely managed to shift position to another stair, and kowtow once again in a _Bang._ But this time, she did not climb further. Her line of sight turning dark, she directly fell unconscious. Caier... Outside the gate of light, the rest of the group was clearly seen shouting loudly. Wang Yuanyuan even had no qualms to ram her whole body against that screen, only to be shot back directly. To say nothing of Chen Yinger, even Sima Xian, Lin Xin, and Han Yu, the oldest of the group, already couldnt bear to watch. The traces of blood flowing down at each of Caiers movements felt like sharp swords piercing through their hearts every time. But there was still nothing they could do: unable to enter through that gate, they were naturally unable to be of any help to Caier. They could only stare nkly at the sight of her blood flowing through those golden stairs. There was no chance at all on the path to the sky. The golden stairs still had no ending. A hour passed. Caiers body suddenly shook lightly. Using her arms to prop herself up, she slowly rose up. She had just awoken. Not turning back, she just paused slightly before struggling to barely manage to get up. Once again stepping up, she kowtowed once again. In just a moment, her blood had covered a whole new stair. Caier!.. Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan already had tears dripping all over their faces, and their voices had already turned hoarse due to the crying. Each and every man had their eyes reddened, clenching their fists to the extent of having their fingernails pierce through their skins. They were just so hopeful to be able to take Caiers stead to climb through this path to the sky One stair, two stairs, three stairs, four stairs... The awakened Caier was still that strong. On her back, Long Haochens corpse already felt as heavy as a mountain, that was how heavy he weighed on her heart! Without a break, she kept advancing through that path. Its either die in this path, or bring him back to life! These words were repeated without pause in Caiers mind. This time, she managed to advance through twenty-eight stairs, before once again copsing and falling unconscious. But, even so, she took grasp of the next stair in front of her eyes unbendably, so that she wouldnt slide down. Climb and fall unconscious, climb and fall unconscious, and so on... Caier copsed time after time, and climbed many again and again. When she had made it onto the two hundredth stair, she was already entirely covered in blood. This was already her seventh time falling unconscious on the path to the sky. Chen Yinger had already passed out in the midst of crying, while the others attacked relentlessly that gate blocking their way. Only that way could they vent the pain and torment inside them. Caiers knees were already devoid of the slightest skin and flesh, her deep white bones alreadying to sight. She was unaware that her fair white bone contorted all the time, and because of the excessive blood loss, her whole body was morbidly pale. Her life was running off at an astonishing speed, yet no end of the path to the sky came to sight. This time, Caier fell unconscious for an especially long time. A whole seven hours had passed before she awoke. Caier!!! Caier!!! The whole Bright Glimmer of Hope group was frantically venting on the separating area in front of them, already all shouting hoarsely. They really couldnt bear to watch anymore, and really wanted to tell her to stop already. The stairs between the sixth and seventh floor were tormenting them far more than all the previous trials! But Caier didnt look back from beginning to end, slightly lifting up her head, only to see arge swath of blood color in front of her eyes. Barely moving her body, she found out that she was already unable to stand up anymore. Falling unconscious seven times already had drained all her physical force, and her life was already close to an end. Right at this time, a sh of light came in front, and a massive gate of light appeared on the tenth floor in front of her, shing slowly. As the gate of light opened up slowly, it faintly revealed a golden world concealed behind. A gate A gate!!! Caiers somewhat ash-grey eyes suddenly lit up at the sight of this gate. Hope hade out in front of her. The rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope could also see what she saw. They unconsciously became silent, looking at that evenrger gate while biting their teeth tightly and painfully. Caiers legs were already totally numb, but this instant her eyes lit up iparably. Carrying Long Haochen, she did her utmost to pull herself and Long Haochen to the next stair using her arms, her forehead leaning on the next stair with force. Deep traces of blood being left on the stair, this golden path to the sky even started to gain a thin red tinge due to the blood left by her. But Caier didnt care about that. The gate in front of her eyes was her hope. _I must bring Haochen through this gate of light so that he can resurrect._ Caier didnt know why, but she faintly came to hear an extremely emotional teary voice resound through her ears, crying in extreme suffering. But this did not matter to her; how could she attend to reflect on other matters than to keep going forward. The hidden capabilities in her body were aroused by this hope, and she managed to climb through a stair after another by the use of her two arms. Crawling up stair by stair, she would cover at least a third of its surface with the blood on her body every time, but this blood became more and more light in color every time. Wouldnt her blood run out at this rate? Five, four, three, two, one. Finally, when the gate of light became very near, Caiers firm and resolved expression finally disyed a faint smile. Raising her hand and her fingers, already ground to the extent that its bones wereing to sight, she shiveringly grabbed that gate of light. But this time, a sickening scene came to all Bright Glimmer of Hopes sight. That gate of light suddenly swayed lightly, raising one step higher and causing Caier to catch emptiness. Despair filled up the eyes of everyone present outside the first gate. Was the gate on top of the stairs actually a fake? They became mad to the extent of pounding the gate in front of them with all their strength. They all cursed the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. Caier was just a girl, why must he be so cruel? Only Caier didnt fall to despair, still as determined looking. Her emptiness catching hand fell onto the previous stair on emptiness, and her body shifted up once again. This was her final chance. She knew that if she were to fall unconscious once again, she would perhaps never awake again, so there was no other chance to resurrect Long Haochen. Conviction and resolve burned fiercely inside of her. Caiers arms suddenly exerted all their strength to make a frantic rise to the next stair. Chapter 653 - Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (III)

Chapter 653: Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # A miraculous scene emerged. The already out-of-strength and almost dead Caier suddenly pushed her own body up alongside Long Haochens in a surge, making a movement close to a pouncing carp. In the midst of this pounce, her right hand finally dug into that gate of light, but this had just exhausted all her remaining potential. While stretching her hand in front of the gate of light, Caiers eyes opened wide, already devoid of light. At the same time her right hand came into contact with the gate, that gate abruptly shone brightly, enveloping both Caier and Long Haochen who disappeared inside in a _swish_. As Caier and Long Haochen disappeared, all the steps in view of Bright Glimmer of Hope disappeared as well. Space twisted and refracted, and the next instant, the sixth floor regained its original appearance, the only difference being that Caier and Long Haochen werent there anymore. Caiers miserable condition and hysterical state were causing everyone to violently gasp for breath, with only one line of thought in them, _Caier seeded!_ The bright light kept curling up, bringing Long Haochen and Caier into a gold colored world, filled with inexhaustible golden rays. Tiny traces of blood bleached and dyed the air, and dots of bright light circted all around Caiers body, making their way inside. Even the blood on herpel drifted back due to that bright light, slowly returning back inside her body. Caiers right arm was still stretched forward, with Long Haochen tightly under its embrace as if she was afraid of dropping his body off. The injuries on Caiers body recovered slowly, and all imperfect parts scattered to all direction, disappearing. Only her torn long skirt wasnt restored. The look on her face was still determined, even if it had lost all light. In the golden world, following a deep long sigh, an aged voice sounded out, Was it really worth it? The golden light vanished gradually, and Caier who had carried Long Haochen on her backnded lying on the ground. She seemed to be dreaming about the time the two of them had reunited back in Holy City for the Demon Hunt Competition. They were holding hands, and walking alongside that road to the inn... That road seemed to suddenly be endless; no matter how long they walked, they did not reach the inn. But they didnt get fidgety at all, instead enjoying the warmth of each others hand. The sounds of the cane in her hand tapping onto the ground kept reverberating in Caiers world. Every time she turned back to look at Long Haochen, she would catch sight of that extremely loving and warm smile. Their lives were melting together at once. All the pain seemed to be forgotten like that, forever and ever... But a lot of things frequently turn out differently from ones wishes. The road in front turned illusory, and the next instant, the surroundings all became golden. Caier was quite panicked, tightly gripping Long Haochens hand and shouting loudly. Haochen! Haochen!! The awakened Caier suddenly sat up, immediately catching sight of Long Haochens pale hands wrapped around her chest, and she immediately gripped them tightly. Her body was really no longer feeling any pain, and even all her internal and external spiritual energy hade back. Quite a few memories of the harsh pain she had previously experienced had remained. The hem of her skirt was still tattered since long ago, and she was unaware that her body was shaking greatly. Remembering everything she just did, Caier raised her head to look around. This should be the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity right? As far as the eye could see, everything was gold colored. Compared to the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity, this ce was far smaller in volume. The circr hall made up a diameter of roughly thirty meters. This was a dome, surrounded by a total of twenty golden pirs. The surface, dome and surrounding pirs all contained countless golden magic infused runes. The ground of the hall formed a huge golden hexagram, from which a thin golden fog arose. At the center of the hexagram stood a huge coffin. Five meters long and three meters wide, this coffin was embedded with various precious gems, and not only gems but also magical beasts magic crystals and human spiritual pellets, none of which was below the ninth step. So was this the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, eternal dwelling ce of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux? Caier stood up impatiently. After spending so much effort toe here, she was in the midst of getting her one and only chance to resurrect Long Haochen! But where was Elux? Was it really worth it? An aged voice suddenly reverberated in her head. Caier unconsciously stepped back, staring at that huge coffin in front of her. A white fog slowly ascended from the top of that coffin and in the sky surrounding it. Very rapidly, this white fog turned into a human shape, looking the same as all the previous sculptures, it just didnt have a lower body, which was just reced by fog linked together with that golden coffin. An aged face, extremely emotional looking, had a gentle look directed at Caier. Letting out a light sigh, he asked once again, Was it really worth it? Its worth it. Youre the Slumbering Cmity Elux? Caier asked with determination. Elux nodded and responded, I am indeed the Holy Necromanncer and Slumbering Cmity Elux. Was it really worth it Caier wrinkled her eyebrows, Of course its worth it! Elux let out a deep sigh, What a good girl! I didnt think that you would finally manage toplete all the trials I have set up in those years. You should know that the most uneptable attribute in my eyes is your purifying attribute, so theres almost no way you should be able inherit my legacy. Hearing him, Caier immediately became greatly rmed. She didnt mind the inheritance at all, but this was pertaining to the matter of whether she would be able to resurrect Long Haochen! If the power from Eluxs legacy couldnt be borrowed, wouldnt all her efforts juste to naught? I am willing to inherit your power. You left the message that as long as one can attain this seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, they could receive your legacy. Dont tell me these words didnt count? Caier stubbornly stated. Elux showed a faint smile, I have never heard anyone adress this tone of speech to me in my living years. And yet you want to inherit my power. Caier became sluggish, slowly kneeling in front of Elux, and bowing down to him, Sorry, Teacher. I was in the wrong. I hope I can inherit your power, you must have a way right? Eluxs eyes pulsed at once, All for the sake of this child on your back. This one should be my original sessor right? Caier didnt mutter a word, only continuously kowtowing towards Elux, her forehead rapidly turning red and swollen. Elux waved his hand, and immediately, a spurt of golden light came out from the ground, supporting Caiers body. You have already knocked your head on the ground enough. Indeed, I have a way to make your inherit my power. But if you inherit it, your original power of purification willpletely dissipate, and your body will even consequently fester, turning you just like a zombie. This power of purification is originally entirely ipatible with my power of necromancy. Are you still willing even if it turns out that way? If you lose your beauty, do you really think that even if the one on your back is resurrected, he would stille to like you? I am willing! Caier replied with no hesitation. Are you not worried? Elux seemed almost unwilling as he asked. Caier shook her head with energy, I am not worried. Then, please begin. Elux took a deep look at Long Haochen, his look turning greatly emotional, causing that body formed of mist to distort slightly. A long timeter, he replied quietly, His heart is already destroyed, giving him no more opportunity to live. Although his soul is intact, resurrecting him will be extremely difficult. First of all, he will need a live and fresh throbbing heart. Caier raised her head to look at Elux, undoing the chains on her body, cautiously cing Long Haochen on the ground,ying him on the golden ground. Taking a deep look at him, and gently caressing his face already empty of blood, she lowered his head and lightly kissed his forehead. Although this forehead was already devoid of warmth and was ice cold, that still gave her the feeling of a living person. Her cute face disying a faint smile, Caier slowly stood up, raising her right hand which shed in ck light as the Sickle of the God of Death appeared in her palm. You are right. Actually, he should be your sessor. Please resurrect him. As for the heart... Caier smiled, full of sincerity. This instant, she looked as charming as a myriad of blossoming flowers. Even the Holy Necromancer Elux who was already dormant for several thousand years couldnt help but nk out upon sight of her smile. Please use mine. In a sh of ck likght, the Sickle of the God of Death in Caiers hand was flipped back, aiming its sharp de toward her own chest. She had the absolute confidence of being able to extract her own heart intact and leave it in the spot of his one. This seemed to be a perfect ending. This way she would be able to stay forever at his side, which is why her smile was sincere. She could already feel the cold de of the sickle pierce through her skin, and in just an instant, her de would cut through her chest and cautiously extract her heart. Not allowed. Golden splurges of light burst out from below, shing against the Sickle of the God of Death, and taking away the massive weapon, although a trace of blood had still appeared amidst Caiers chest. Elux dered in fury, What a girl! Is he really worth you doing such a thing for him? Dont you know that this purifying de has soul purifying properties? Even if you are the one using it on yourself, in case your vitals are pierced by it, an inevitable death will follow. No force will ever be able to bring you back to life! Chapter 654 - You two have won

Chapter 654: You two have won

Trantor: GravityTales Caier looked at Long Haochen with deep emotion, So what; with my heart being together with him, having him resurrect is already enough for me. I am willing to die for his sake. Dont tell me you have another heart at disposal here aside from mine? All I am asking is for him to be resurrected. Elux became silent, his eyes showing struggles, but right now, Caier, whose attention was focused onto Long Haochen, just didnt notice it. If only that girl I had met at those times was like you maybe none of that would have happened. Perhaps I would have just followed her in death. Even if everything ends with death, at least that would be a happy ending. The words that Elux murmured woke Caier up with a start. Lifting up her head, she insisted, Please use my heart Elux suddenly interrupted her, Child, dont be hasty. How about it, lets make a bet. If you win, I will help you to resurrect him, but if you lose, just give up on him, and concentrate all your thoughts and efforts in inheriting my power. Although I do not like the purifying attribute on you, I like your character. I am not taking the bet. Caier shook her head vigorously, Theres no way I can take a bet with him as the stake, because I cannot afford to lose. Elux replied coldly, Then it cannot be helped for you. This instant, he really had the imposing manner of the Holy Necromancer Elux. In a wave of his hand, Caier felt extremely tense all over her body, already out of control of her whole body, and even the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand was suppressed, returning back into her own body. Pulled by the golden light, she was pulled to Eluxs side. Immediately, the surroundings twisted all around, and everything transformed miraculously, turning illusory, yet substantial. Caier discovered with stupor that she was not only unable to move, but also unable to let out the slightest sound, and was unable to exert the slightest bit of spiritual energy. It seemed that her very soul was frozen. Elux remained afloat on her side, dispersingyer uponyer of bright light. On Long Haochens side appeared another Caier, with a hole in her chest and having lost her heart. Immediately, his right hand pointed its forefinger on Long Haochens body in a touch. Then the wounds on his body healed up at an astounding speed. In the midst of intense fluctuations of golden light, the Golden Foundation Armor on him was removed, and under Caiers emotional watch, Long Haochens pale skin gradually regained color. All of it was really too miraculous. Elux just needed a lift of his hand to bring Long Haochen back to life. Eluxs voice resounded in Caiers mind, I have temporarily simted the situation where he would be brought back to life. Now guess, what will his reaction be when he learns that your heart was used to resurrect him? Caiers original feelings of excitement turned instantly. She struggled as much as possible against Eluxs binding, but how could it be so easy to resist in front of this man who was previously known as humankinds disaster who narrowly caused humanity to go extinct? There was nothing she could do except for looking on helplessly at that instant of resurrection, at Long Haochen in the midst of trembling. _So cold!_ Long Haochen felt as if he was soaked in a pond of ice, shivering with extreme cold. The deathly stillness in his brain gradually rose and fell, and he felt chills in session, and was roused by the cold. A golden expanse came to his sight, as the intense light essence caused the chills felt by his body to decrease sharply. _Where is this? Hell?_ Subconsciously, Long Haochen ced his hand onto his own chest, finding out astonishingly that the hole in his chest had disappeared, and that he felt an indistinct heartbeat, and had the sensation of blood flowing through his body. Only, his powerful cultivation was obliteratedpletely, and faint waves of weakness assaulted his brain again and again Are you awake? An aged voice drew Long Haochens attention, who immediately noticed that huge coffin and the soul floating in the sky. You are? And whats this ce? Long Haochen asked reflexively. Right now, he still felt dizzy, but the ice-cold sensation all over his body subsided gradually, and the thick light essence in the air helped him feel better. The spiritual energy in his body also seemed to slowly recover thanks to absorbing the light essence, and at longst it felt a lot warmer. This is the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity. And I believe that you must know who I am right? Elux asked in a faint voice. Long Haochen became greatly rmed, and immediately sobered up, What? This is the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity? But then, just how, how How did I get here? Elux pointed to his side, and replied calmly, Shes the one who brought you here. Long Haochen followed his finger, and immediately became stagnant. His mouth agape, and eyes staring confusedly, he suddenly found himself unable to let out the slightest sound, as if his body was locked down, remaining motionless. That that was Caier. A Caier with a hole in her chest and whose blood was flowing all over the ground. Having lost all vitality, Caier looked as pale as a piece of paper. _Caier! Caier! How could my Caier?_ Long Haochen stayed so stiff for several seconds, totally motionless. Eluxs voice reverberated through his ears, She has been carrying the Eternal Melody I have given you, and been shouldering your corpse, going through the challenges in the Tower of Eternity one after another. She said that you were my sessor, and that she wanted to bring you back to life. You should clearly know how you died. Having lost your heart, even my magic cannot resurrect you without a live and fresh heart. So she offered her own heart to you. NOO!! Long Haochen looked up to the sky, and kneeled down to the ground, throwing himself at Caier and tightly gripping her tight figure, his tears falling beyond control. Caiers corpse was really cold. Long Haochen felt as if the blood flowing in his body froze down this instant. How could you be so stupid Just how could you be so stupid Caier, dont tell me that you believe that I can keep on living by myself with you dead? Suddenly turning back, Long Haochen looked at Elux, Elder, please give her heart back to her. You must have a way to do that right? Please bring her back to life!! Elux coldly responded, Do you take this for a game? Do you think that heart transnts can be cycled over and over again? Moreover, even if I was able to do that, you would return to death without a heart. At this point, his voice suddenly warmed up, She is already dead, having offered her heart to resurrect you, and wishing for your heart to be made one with you, this way you wont ever be separated. Dont tell me you dont understand her pain? You are my chosen disciple, who came here to inherit my power. There are plenty more fishes in the sea. With your talent, you will surely be able to find an even better girl than her. And moreover, one can only take revenge by staying alive. If you did not die, she wouldnt have died for the sake of bringing you back to life. You should go look for the culprit of your death, instead of mourning in sadness like a coward. Stand up, and ept my, the Holy Necromancer Eluxs, inheritance. At the time you leave from here, you will be the greatest human powerhouse in the world. At that time, everything wille to your grasp. You will be able to get as many girls as you want, and even use the body of your target to pay homage to her. Long Haochen held Caiers body, then turned back toward Elux with an indifferent look, as if convinced by Eluxs words his previous state of hysteria disappeared at once, entering a serene state of mind. Holding Caiers corpse, he slowly stood up, and muttered irresolutely, If only one of us can live on, its a good thing that she died first. Eluxs eyes diluted in shock, turning back toward the real Caier standing at his side. Long Haochen was unable to see her, but Elux could. His ice-cold voice reverberated in Caiers mind, See, thats the man you were willing to sacrifice your life for. But to Eluxs disappointment, Caier seem to only feel some grief alongside a deep feeling of love, as if she hadnt heard Long Haochens heartless words at all. Dont you understand? Elux questioned Caier in a slight splurt of fury Caier lightly shook her head as if she didnt see him, I understand very well. You are the one who doesnt, because you dont understand him at all. Elux let out a cold snort, I dont understand him? He turned back toward the apathetic Long Haochen, and dered, You are right. She died for your sess. Are you prepared to inherit my power? Long Haochen shook his head lightly, Inherit your power? What use is there for me to? You are just a ughterer, a man who clearly is a Scion of Light, and should have brought light to humanity, yet chose to cause dark ughters. I dont need to inherit your filthy power. Living on is even more painful than death. If Caier and I could age together, I would definitely strive the hardest to follow after her in death. This way, she could have me apany her in death, and have me by her side in death. But the event of me dying before her, could only make the rest of her life lonely and nothing else. What about strength, what about revenge? None of it matters in my eyes. Perhaps I have a lot more responsibilities, but how can I let Caier keep waiting for me? At this point, his eyes shifted back to his left arm, Sorry that I have disappointed you, Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. I couldnt bring light to humanity in the end, even if I am the Scion of Light, and even if I have made the resolve to never let myself get stained by impurity. Even so, I have a weakness that I can never correct. Please let me be unruly once, let me be selfish once. Caier, I am a bitte, but let me join you. Drawing Caier toward him with his left hand, he lowered his head, and offered a deep kiss to her lips while raising his right hand, and condensing the bit of spiritual energy he had just recovered onto his palm, abruptly aimed it at the top of his head. You are not allowed to die! Elux shouted in unreconciliation. His soul materialization instantly appeared in front of Long Haochen and grabbed his hand. Long Haochen raised his head and looked at him coldly, Are you qualified to stop me? For who knows which reason, Eluxs powerful soul force only felt chilly upon Long Haochens cold gaze, unexpectedly causing him to not even be able to retort back. Go away! Long Haochen shouted in fury, struggling fiercely. Elux grabbed his arms energetically, Dont tell me that there is nothing else you are reluctant to leave behind in this world? Is it really worth it to die just out of a romantic love? Long Haochen smiled in contempt, From what you are saying, you dont understand what love is at all. Love is the most basic thing there is, yet the most intense. Without her, it is like my heart is dead. The other things I am reluctant to leave are just meaningless at that point. This world is already colorless in my eyes, dont stop me in my search for Caier. Do you think that you holding my hand would stop me from causing myself to die? Saying that, Long Haochens eyes suddenly lit, and one could vaguely see a golden me instantly ring up. Bastard, you are crazy! Utterly difited, Elux shouted loudly, pointing his finger to the space between Long Haochens eyebrows. Struck by this finger, Long Haochen struck the seventh floor heavily of the Tower of Eternity. If Eluxs reaction was just a bitte, Long Haochen would have been ignited, and at that time, let alone a necromancer, even a god would be unable to bring him back to life. Bouncing back onto the wall, Long Haochen was still hugging Caier tightly, his right arm whirling once again, and aiming at blowing off his own head with no hesitation. Crazy! Elux saw in Long Haochens eyes an apathetic look like never before. The worst sorrow is not as bad as an uncaring heart, perhaps this was the true meaning behind his look. She is still alive. These simple words were more effective than any attempt to stop him. Long Haochens right hand stopped on top of his head, lowered to look at Caier, but he still didnt see an ounce of life in her. But right at this time, a sorrowful call came to his ears, Haochen. In Haochens arms, Caier disappeared into several dots of light, and beside Elux, Caier appeared alive and well, rushing into his embrace, crying loudly. Caiers body was warm, her tears instantly seeping rapidly into Long Haochenspel. Her arms were really vigorously, tightly hugging him. Caier! Caier! Caier! Caier! Caier! Long Haochen called out her name without pause. He wanted to cry, to let out every tear in his body. Having just regained the most precious thing in his life, he was returning to a state of joy as his soul finally saw a light from a state of deathly stillness. Tightly hugging her, his chin shook and his calls became more and more choking. Seeing the embracing pair, the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux dered with difficulty, You two have won. Chapter 655 - Long Haochen’s choice (I)

Chapter 655: Long Haochens choice (I)

Trantor: GravityTales You two have won. These simple words sounded really terrible in Eluxs mouth. His soul form floated in a daze, his eyes filled with iprehension and unbelief. It seemeed as his thoughts were shaken to the core, causing his soul to fluctuate in instability, dispersingyer uponyer of white light. Right now, Long Haochen and Caier werepletely soaked in the joy of reuniting, and did not take note of any changes in Elux. Caier! Caier!!! Long Haochen called out her name over and over again. Right now, his feelings of wretched sorrow ended with Caiers appearance, to change into an extreme fear, the fear that this Caier was a fake, which would just shatter his hard-wonst hopes. So, he hugged her tightly, as if attempting to absorb her in him, and called her name incessantly. Long Haochen still remembered clearly the instant the Demon God Emperor pierced through his heart. Darkness approached, but he didnt have any grudge or pain in him, only an inexhaustible reluctance to part with Caier. Darkness had descended gradually. Caiers figure became fuzzy, until the instant that he finally started to fear death. Thest thought in his mind was: So Ill never be able to meet with Caier ever again? But right now, he was back to life, and Caier was finally back in front of him. The fire of joy and hope rose in him in an indescribable manner. Hugging her tightly, the fear filling his heart gradually turned into extreme joy. If this was a dream, he hoped to never wake up from it for eternity. If you want to stay together forever, calm down a bit. A warm soul-shaking voice woke up the two of them with shock from this moment of bliss. Long Haochen and Caier turned back their heads at the same time, finally taking notice of the changes in Elux. Eluxs condensed soul dispersed some white htions. From his body, a breath of death slowly spread outwards. The pair of eyes on his condensed body seemed far brighter than before, watching them ardently. Long Haochen failed to understand his words, but Caier had a terrible chill! Right, Long Haochen hadnt yet really resurrected. Its just that Elux used extraordinary ways to temporarily bring him to life. She immediately stepped up, filled with hastiness, You just said that we won. Since we won, shouldnt you be helping to resurrect Haochen? Long Haochen was startled, and looked at Caier in iprehension, Am I not truly alright? What are you saying Caier? Elux had a faint smile, What a fool you are, kid. Dont tell me you have forgotten everything that has happened before? Although I just used my soul power to make an illusion, it can be considered real in some sense. If I had at that time really epted letting this girl offer her heart to resurrect you, everything just now would be real. Caier, you... Long Haochen tightly drew Caier closer in his embrace, Why would you do such a foolish thing? If you die, what meaning is there for me to live? Caier buried her head in his chest. At that time Long Haochen was just a corpse; her only thought was that she had to resurrect him. That is why the previous scene shook her greatly, especially Long Haochens crucial words. Right! If hes resurrected but at the cost of her own life, hed still choose to die, so wouldnt that make everything up to now meaningless? This instant, the two of them became very calm. Long Haochen seemed to no longer be in a rush to resurrect Long Haochen. They would either live together or die side by side. Her heart finally felt relieved at this realization. So a thing such as real love really exists in the human world. Eluxs aged face disyed a bitter smile. Although that was body just a condensed soul, he suddenly seemed to look much older at once. Of course it does. Long Haochen raised his head, ardently looking at Elux. He still did not have the slightest good opinion of Elux. This ughterer was the one to cause the copse of Shengmo Dalu, the great loss in power of humanity. If not for him, how could the dark age even havee to be? If not for him, perhaps everything would be different. As the Scion of Light and candidate chosen by the goddess of Light, all he caused was destruction along his way. Long Haochen still remembered the deep impression the helpless testimony of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon had made on him at that time. Elux could not avoid seeing the look of rejection in Long Haochen eyes, and he calmly dered, Long Haochen, you have a chance to choose now. Compared to her, you are the most fitting to inherit my power. I can see that you have already formally be the one blessed by the Goddess of Light, so you must despise someone who has walked in the path of death and darkness like me. But now, you have no other choice than to rely on me toe back to life. On one side is your beloved girl, and on the other side, your conviction. Now is the time to make your choice. By choosing to inherit my power, you will be able to stay by her side, and the two of you will be able to live together. And you will be even stronger. If you choose to renounce this, you will die, and surely she will follow you soon. Its up to you. Long Haochen became nk-faced, and Caier too. They did not expect Elux to give Long Haochen such a choice to make at such a time. Are you saying that That even without my heart, you can help bring him back to life? Caier asked in great joy. Elux responded proudly, I am the almighty Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. In this world, the things that I cannot aplish are very scarce. Your soul is still present, so whats the deal with reconstituting your body? But why would I help reviving him? Unless he consents to inherit my power, and bes the next necromancer lord, you are free to live or die as you wish. You will see him die, and whatever you choose is none of my concern. At worst I just have to enter several thousands more years of deep slumber awaiting a next sessors arrival. Caier instantly turned her head to look at Long Haochen. But the instant her pretty eyes caught sight of Long Haochen, the mes of joy in her were extinguished entirely in one instant. Right! Inheriting from Elux would be the only way to resurrect him, but Haochen was the one chosen by the Goddess of Light, the Scion of Light. how could he ept inheriting Eluxs power? Elux was the enemy of mankind, a terrible sinner, the Slumbering Cmity. If Long Haochen were to inherit his power, would that befit the Scion of Light? That would be like renouncing his whole beliefs. Caier was totally unable to speak a word. This being the man she loved deeply, how could she bear to tell him to renounce his beliefs? Caier understood clearly that these beliefs were as important as his life in his eyes. He was a knight, a pure knight to the core. Telling him to renounce his beliefs was no different than telling him to die. She didnt speak a word, tears flowing from Caiers eyes again. Stretching her hands forward, she wrapped them around Long Haochens chest, sticking tightly close to him. She was already unwilling to think of anything, and just wanted to let him make his choice. If he chooses death, then let the two of them share this fate. This instant, Caier suddenly felt very tired, and only wanted to hold him. No matter whether they lived or died, they would stay that way forever. The dull feelings in Long Haochens eyes disappeared gradually. Lowering his head, he looked at Caier leaning on his chest, his eyes flickering in the light, but it seems that no conflicting emotions were in him. An insipid smile started to form from the corners of his mouth, as Long Haochen raised his head, and looked calmly at Elux. Have you made your decision? Elux looked at him with some stupor, originally thinking that he would be in an iparable struggle. But he didnt expect him to have such a look on his face so rapidly. This clearly meant that he had already made his decision. Long Haochen calmly answered, I am willing to ept your inheritanceto live on. Hearing his deration, both Elux and Caier were suddenly shocked. Caier raised her head suddenly, looking at him in disbelief, Haochen, you... Elux reacted with great unbelief, You are not even afraid of death, yet want to renounce your beliefs? Dont tell me that you have already forgotten that you are the Scion of Light, the one chosen by the Goddess of Light! Long Haochen raised his hand, lightly caressing Caiers long hair, I am willing to die for her, as well as I am willing to live for her sake. At this point, he paused slightly, his eyes looking dazzling at the time he turned toward Elux again, For the sake of Caier, whats the deal with renouncing my principles? _Bam!_ Two explosions urred almost simultaneously. One was in Caiers brain, feeling totally empty, as if she had already lost all her ability to think. And the other explosion urred in the Holy Necromancer, or more urately speaking, his condensed-soul body. The terrifying explosion caused massive fluctuations of soul force, sting Long Haochen and Caier away. Elux lifted his head, shrieking in pain, and his entire soul-body trembling violently. Large amounts of death energy were spurted out from his soul, and even more pure holy fire of white color had appeared, igniting his soul, and spreading to every corner of his soui. Long Haochen hugged Caier tightly, using his own body to shield her from the assault of the terrifying soul force. Eluxs soul force was just too powerful: even the Demon God Emperor would be almost unable topare in this aspect. In front of the terrifying soul might, he was unable to even struggle. Chapter 656 - Long Haochen’s Choice (II)

Chapter 656: Long Haochens Choice (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The terrifying spiritual waves persisted for a whole quarter of an hour before gradually pacifying. No, no This cant be! How could such feelings exist between humans? Humans are supposed to be vulgar and shameless, disregarding anything in front of benefit. Why would you have such feelings, just why? Elux howled in hysteria. Right now he seemed like a wounded wolf,pletely turning mad. No soul attack came. Long Haochen was drawing close to Caier, who noticed that right now Long Haochen was full of iprehension. He had just consented to inherit Elux, so why would this Holy Necromancer make such a fuss? Elux kept yelling all along so far, but Long Haochen could feel that the aura of death in the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity was disappearing at an astonishing speed. This ce, originally full of dense light essence, gradually regained its sacred feel. This madnesssted for the time of a meal, before Elux gradually calmed down. Although he was just a soul with a body, it took himrge gasps to breathe, and his body was at least half its previous volume. But it had be pure white. Right now his soul seemed ignited to burn strongly, and the soulfire pulsing in his eyes gradually pacified as well. Unexpected, what an unexpected thing! Eluxs voice clearly became stiff, and although his emotions had settled down, his feeling of iprehension was still present. Long Haochen looked at him without understanding, Senior, you can let me inherit your power. Elux shook his head, replying in distress, No, I am not qualified. I was mistaken. I didnt expect myself to really be so mistaken. I was mistaken for several thousand years.... He shook his head vigorously, full of pain. Caier held Long Haochens hand, right now her mind was empty, filled up with Long Haochens figure. She warmly stood by his side, all traces of her original coldness totally vanished. The haze from her youths traumas were all swept clean, leaving no traces behind. If one were to ask her why, surely she would reply that its the power of love. Right, Haochen showed her his abiding love, willing to renounce his convictions for the sake of love. This caused a sublimation of Caiers soul, as all negative feelings in her were swept clean at that very moment. Nothing else mattered in that life where this fulfilling love existed. Elux raised his head, his ardent look faced toward this pair of sweethearts. His warm expression contained an unspoken admiration, but no traces of jealousy. Willing to hear my story? Thats a story from six thousand and eight hundred years ago. Eluxs voice changed to contain a dense sadness, which came out all around him. For some reason, Long Haochen felt thin surges of sympathy when looking at him, and nodded unconsciously. Elux calmly dered, Six thousand eight hundred ny years ago, I was born in a city from the Pombo Empire on the northwest of the continent. This city was called Sidi. My father was the lord of Sidi, a hereditary earl, and I was his only son. From the day of my birth, I lived in nobility. For the sake of letting me seed his position as earl in the future, he arranged the best teachers to teach me knowledge and etiquette. The year of my sixth birthday, my great affinity with light essence was found out: I was blessed with a constitution of a Scion of Light. Although nearly seven thousand years have passed since then, I still remember very well the great joy Father had at the time. He held me in his arms, and shouted in excitement through the whole hall, Elux, you are my pride! From that point, I became a light mage. My cultivation was extremely fast, shocking every teacher, and during the year of my eleventh birthday, I had already be a mage of the fourth step. And at thirteen, the fifth step, then at merely fifteen years old, I became the youngest mage of the sixth step to have ever appeared in the continent. At this point Long Haochen was also shocked; because, despite being a Scion of Light too, he had yet to reach the sixth step when he was fifteen years old. In other words, Elux was even more outstanding than him at the same age of fifteen years old. Father said that I was shockingly talented. Therefore, he personally brought me to participate in the Talent War organized at that time between the three empires by the Glorious Church, where only youngsters below twenty were allowed to participate. Right, does the Glorious Church still exist at present? Have they yet taken over the whole continent? Long Haochen shook his head, No, at the time of the start of the dark age six thousand years ago, the Glorious Church was annihted by demonkind. Annihted? Elux became nk, and immediately made the strange statement, Great, great. I knew that they would one day walk this path. So, what was I saying again? Talents War. Caier reminded him. Right, the Talents War. I was without doubt the focus of this whole Talents War. The enemies that came out in front of me rarely resisted for over a minute. When I was young, I was also on par with your looks. Uncountable youngdies from the three empires gave me coquettish looks, and, during the finals, my opponent was the princess Fuluo of the empire. She was also a genius, a powerful summoner. With the royal familys backing, she already had a Purple Thunder Star Dragon Emperor as her contracted beast. Although her cultivation was below mine, her endless sessions of summons were tough to face. That battle hadsted for a whole half of an hour, and in the end, because of her insufficient spiritual energy, she lost by my hand. I thereby became the final champion, and our Pombo Empire became the great winner. No matter how many years had passed since then, Elux looked extremely proud as he recounted these facts, making clear how impressive that feat used to be. At that time, humankind was still ruling over the whole Shengmo Dalu, and the total human poption was perhaps ten times more than nowadays. This Talent War was undoubtedly a stage for the youngest elites, so the achievement of that victory was truly a great glory. The pope of the Glorious Church from that time rewarded me personally with a direct title of viscount, and a feudal fiefdom of fifty kilometers. My reward was a great item,ter known as equipment of epic tier. The me of that time was quite pleased with himself, having be the most glorious youngster of all continent. Even the popes son Pelo was nothing in front of me. Also, that saying a friendship may arise from an exchange of blows is true. That battle with Princess Fulo created a link between the two of us: from that day onwards, we were known as the two great seeds of the empire, on whom great hopes were ced. I was then transferred to the royal academy, pursuing my studies alongside Princess Fulo, and received all the support of the empire. Just by listening to his story, Long Haochen and Caier could feel how sessful Elux was in his younger times. Receiving such glory at the age of sixteen was not something just anyone could do. Eluxs face started to fill with warmth, During the period of my studies in the royal academy, I was with Fulo training together and researching magic together all the time. Our feelings started to get deep between the two of us, and I deeply loved that beautiful genius. When the two of us were together, we were never short of topics to talk about. We made an oath of eternal love, engrossed with each other. The rise of these feelings did not only not adversely affect our cultivation, but instead made it faster and faster. In the year I turned eighteen years old, I became a Grand Magic Tutor of the eighth step. Given my cultivation speed of that time, I was certain that I would surely be able to break through the ninth step at the age of twenty, making me the youngest powerhouse of the ninth step in the whole continent. As time passed, the superiority of my talent became clearer and clearer. Although Fulo was also outstanding, in the end she was unable topare with my gifts as Scion of Light. When I broke through the eighth step, she had just broken through the seventh. Back at that time, I could see that she was unhappy, but didnt put a lot of thought into the issue. I told her that I was willing to make a pause to wait for her to catch up with my cultivation. At the same time, I asked His Majesty her father for her hand, and he epted a marriage between Fulo and me. Everything went smoothly. His Majesty was extremely pleased about our rtionship, and the day I would break through the ninth step would be when we would marry. At that time, I was already acimed as the man most likely to rise to the level of god. The pope of that time personally came to the empire, expressing the wish to take me as disciple, and to take over his position in the future. For the sake of the empire, and for Fulos sake, I refused. At that time, the church was extremely powerful in the continent, and in some manner, all three kingdoms had to listen to their orders. I could feel His Majestys unwillingness, and for his Majestys sake, I preferred to offend the church rather than leaving the empire. After reaching the eighth step, my great speed of cultivation visibly slowed down. My teachers in the royal academy told me that because I only kept cultivating all the time, I wascking in other experiences, and suggested that I go to the outside world and gain experience, to discover all the miraculous ces in the continent so that I would be able to progress while gaining in understanding. I followed their suggestion, and told Fulo about this matter, hoping to gain these experiences alongside her. But, Fuluo refused. Although she loved me deeply, she had an even greater eagerness to be number one. I knew that she was always looking to surpass me, but the gap between us only kept getting wider. So she chose to remain in the academy to keep training hard, looking to catch up to my cultivation. Chapter 657 - Long Haochen’s choice (III)

Chapter 657: Long Haochens choice (III)

Trantor: GravityTales For the sake of reaching the ninth step as early as possible to take Fulo as my wife, as well as to bring an even greater honor and glory to the empire, I took this training trip. But never did I expect that because of the great gains in this trip, the iing period of my life would be a total nightmare. At this point, Eluxs face became gradually more and more sinister, filled with anger. Alongside his fury, his intense soul fluctuations caused repeated shakes of the Tower of Eternity. After leaving the empire, I roamed through the whole continent. With my cultivation reaching the eighth step, I encountered almost no challenges. During two whole years, I wandered through almost all cities of the three great empires, discovering all the local conditions and customs and experiencing the joys and the sorrows of the world. The scope of my world and my cultivation all made considerable progress. And, maybe because I was the one chosen by the Goddess of Light, I had a lot of happy encounters in these two years, and acquired a martial technique of incredible might. When I returned to the empire, my cultivation had already reached the peak of the eighth step. Upon seeing Fulo again, I couldnt help but take her in my arms while sobbing from extreme joy. I could feel that I was nearing the edge of the ninth step, only at one step from breaking through, and believed that I would be able to marry my most beloved Fulo in the near future, as well as to inevitably be the future greatest powerhouse of the empire. At that time, I had almost no notion of schemes, and told Fulo about all my various adventures during these two years of training, to share the feelings I had during these moving encounters with her. However, something slightly displeasing happened to meter: the son of the Supreme Pontiff unexpectedly joined the Imperial Magic Academy to study. At that time, I found it very strange: why he woulde there? Compared to our Pombo Empire, the Glorious Church should have reached even deeper levels of magic researches, so he had no need at all toe here to pursue his studies! However, I didnt give it much thought because of my joy from being on the verge of marrying Fulo. After I told Fulo everything about my trip, she held a great interest toward that martial technique I gained in my encounters, hoping that I could hand it over for her to learn, but I rejected her. That martial technique was certainly miraculous, but it could by no means be learned or used, because it came at a too great cost, and I feared she would get wounded in the process. Do you know what kind of martial technique that was? Even now, I still find it to be really miraculous. Although it was just a move, it required a perfect harmonization with the owners soul to be executed. It seemed toe from an ancient tribe from another world. A type of Martial Soul Technique, this technique had a very strange name: it was called Tortoiseshell Technique. When I had just obtained it, I still took it to be just a defensive martial art, but after deep researches, I found out that it had almost no rtions with defense, but was an ability of prediction. Back then, the Glorious Church was the only other entity in the whole continent to have a prophet. I also have some understanding of it: all they can predict is the future. As for that martial technique, its use would execute a kind of divination, with a really overbearing aspect: its unconditionality. Launching the Tortoiseshell Technique would act on all living creatures in its scope, the user being no exception. And even if a god is in the area of effect, he will have no immunity either, being just as affected by its absolute control. Its such a fearful technique! But at the same time, as it has absolute effects, it brings certain danger. This technique has a great indeterminacy: after using it, the user will have no control over its effects. In other words, the effects may be positive just as they may be negative. But no matter what, the user will have to bear some burden, so using it could very possibly offer the user as a sacrifice for the Tortoiseshell technique after a few uses if they are unlucky. How could I be willing to learn such a martial technique? Or even give it to Fulo? At this point, Elux had an extremely bitter look, But Fulo didnt understand my painstaking effort. She thought I wanted to keep it for myself, and thus refused to transmit it to another. Its absolute effects and efficiency against even a god was just too alluring, making herpletely unable to treat it lightly. Why didnt she consider that if I really wanted to keep it for myself, then Id simply not tell her about it. At first, I was thinking that she was just temporarily letting her emotions affect her decisions and didnt think about it too much: it would likely calm down after two days. As expected, when I went to look for her two dayster, she seemed to have entirely recovered, only looking as though she still had some worries. But her attitude to me was the same as before, and the matter of that day was not mentioned again. Never did I expect her to be such a snake-hearted girl, who had already executed her schemes against me. Elux gritted his teeth as his whole body shook, clearly because the experience he had at that time was simply far too painful. Then on a bright day with good weather, with the blue sky stretching continuously over the horizon, and the sunshine was especially abundant The intense light essence brought an indescribable sense of harmony to me as the Scion of Light: this sunshine was really ideal. Fulo had invited me to go for an outing, to which I naturally agreed dly, and even told her that I would seclude myself to aim for the ninth step after that excursion, to ask His Majesty for her hand after I seed in aplishing this breakthrough. At that time, I believed His Majesty would at least offer me the level of nobility of a viscount, as well as a title of court mage. We exited the empire, to head for the outskirts, and right when we were out for a scenic tour, I suddenly discovered that we were surrounded, arge amount of ck-d men sealing off every one of our routes of escape. These people were masked head-to-toe, making not even the slightest shred of their skins visible. Upon appearance, theyunched a frantic attack at us. At that time, Fulo was in a daze, seemingly having even forgotten about the use of magic despite her cultivation reaching the eighth step. As a man, protecting my own woman seemed likemon sense in my eyes, especially with how conceited I was at that time. Relying on my cultivation reaching the peak of the eighth step, I made use of the various magics I had researched painstakingly. Those ck d men were extremely strong, but a lot of them were killed at my hands. However, they were only growing more and more numerous, each of them reaching at least the seventh step. I found it very strange at that time: if this many powerhouses from the other two great empires were really infiltrated, how could the powerhouses from our empire disregard them to such an extent? If this kept up, I was afraid Fulo and I wouldnt ever get away, so I made the prompt decision of bringing out Fulo to immediately break out from the siege. At this time, Fulo seemed to have recovered her senses, immediately using various summoning spells to assist me, and we rode her summoned beast to flee back to the empire. As we thought the enemies would already no longer catch up to us, we rushed out at full speed, and the distant walls of the empire even came into sight. But suddenly, a slight chill permeated in my heart, and when I lowered my head, I found a pitch-ck dagger piercing deeply through my chest, its handle being held in Fulos hand. At this point, Long Haochen and Caier couldnt help but cry out in rm. Never did they expect this princess Fulo to actually betray Elux: they were lovers who had sworn the pledge of eternal love! At that instant, her look waspletely filled with malevolence. Deep tears of sadness flowed out from Eluxs eyes, She even murmured, Why, just why didnt you hand the Tortoiseshell over to me? Why? I hadnt nned to go so far at first. My heart was in pain, even more in pain than my wound. My cold chest gradually got numbed, and I could feel my vital force gush out through that dagger. Even at that time, I was still unable to believe that my beloved Fulo was the culprit of that act against me. I just loved her that much! For the sake of marrying her, I trained night and day. All for the sake of sharing happiness alongside her in the future. But she stabbed a dagger full of poison in my left chest, aimed at the spot which should correspond with an ordinary persons heart. This stab inflictedplete despair in me. She should have been clearly aware that I had no suspicions at all toward her, and moreover, her stab was timed the instant my vignce was the most loose. This instant, even more ck d men came from in front of us. They seemed to have been lying in wait since long ago, and expected all of this to happen long since. The previous ambush was just a start, but Fulos stab was the true critical point in the move against me. A familiar-sounding cold voice spread; that man told Fulo: Kill him. That instant, I finally came to a realization. The desire for survival caused me to push Fulo away, jumping off from her mount. That instant, Fulo seemed quite in a daze, seemingly having had a change of heart due to this stab, which stopped her from immediately finishing me off. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I took out a scroll, which was forged by a great master for me, and used that Escape Scroll, teleporting me instantly six kilometers away. They clearly didnt expect me to have such a thing in store, which is how I managed to get away. The instant the Escape Scroll took effect, I still remember clearly that the sobered Fulo hastilymanded her summoned beast to attack me. That instant, her eyes were only filled with cold killing intent, without any of the former tender sentiments. Long Haochen and Caier were alreadypletely immersed in Eluxs story, to the extent of forgetting the whole situation they were in. Perceiving the deep sadnessing out from Elux, they were totally able to imagine the kind of feelings he had back at that time. For a moment, the two of them werepletely speechless. So there was after all a basis for the Scion of Lights betrayals to his duties! He was in the end betrayed, but how could that mere fact cause him to be the Slumbering Cmity? Chapter 658 - Heart of Eternity (I)

Chapter 658: Heart of Eternity (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The sadness in Eluxs eyes gradually turned into coldness, You are feeling that the mere betrayal of Fulo shouldnt be enough for me to betray my holy convictions? You misunderstand. This alone would still be insufficient to cause these changes in me. But Long Haochen, as a Scion of Light, you should understand that the Scion of Light is the one chosen by the Goddess of Light, and the resolve he has as such. However, the one to betray me was not princess Fulo alone, but this whole world. Through the Escape Scroll, I broke away from their ambush, and only felt a great chilliness fill me at that time. The beautiful parts of my heart disappeared with Fulos betrayal, but even so, I couldnt bring myself to hate her at that time. I loved her deeply, and wanted to think of her good parts no matter what. That ck d mans final appearance caused me to guess that maybe Fulo was coerced into doing that, and waspletely unwilling. Although I was clearly aware that, as the princess, it was almost impossible that there could be anyone who could coerce her, I still wanted to keep this way of thinking. At that time, I was just really too foolish. Fulos stab was aimed right at my left chest, but she didnt know that unlike an ordinary person, my heart was located on the right side. Although her poisonous dagger caused heavy wounds in me, these wounds were not mortal. I resisted the pain with great difficulty, finding a hollow tree to treat my wound. Relying on medicine I had gotten in my adventures, I forced out the poison from my body before gradually eliminating all this poison by the means of my pure light essence. This process was painful and long, but I knew very clearly that even if I wanted Fulo to rify all this, I had to first wait for my body to recover entirely for that. I heard a lot of brouhaha outside the hollow tree in the process, as ifrge armies were transferred around. But at that time, I did not expect the reasons for these armies to be deployed. It took two entire months for my injuries to get better, and my cultivation to recover. I stealthily exited the hollow tree to return back to the empire. But before arriving at the city gates, a thunderous scene came to my sight. A very clear announcement from the royal family was disyed right nearby the city gate, in which was written: _The duke of the empire, Elux, who attacked the princess Fulo to steal a powerful martial technique, snatching it and causing her to sustain heavy injuries, is wanted for the crime of treason. Their whole family is to be deprived of their territory, and get death penalties. Everymoner reporting traces of the criminal will get rewarded with ten thousand gold coins._ I absolutely didnt expect them to use such despicable means, actually making such bogus usations. Furthermore, this announcement from the royal family was not the only thing. There was also an announcement from the Glorious Church with the same contents, designating me as a heretic corrupted by darkness. At that time, I took a whole half-hour to graduallye back to my senses. I loved Fulo deeply, but I wasnt a total idiot. If I hadnt realized this huge plot aimed against me at that time, I wouldnt be fit to be the inheritor of the identity of Scion of Light. I immediately went into concealment to disguise myself, thinking at that time that I had to find a proof that they were deceiving His Majesty and the church; to prove my innocence. The key element to this proofy in Fulo, which is why I went to look for her to make it clear. Perhaps it was because several years had passed, or perhaps because I was thought to have died from the poison, the empire did not put emergency measures in ce. So after I disguised myself, returning to the empires capital was very easy. Looking at these formerly familiar ces, my heart was in great pain. At night, I stealthily infiltrated into the royal pce, still extremely familiar with that ce. Although I was a mage, having a cultivation reaching the eighth step, I had numerous means for infiltrating my destination. Coming into Fulos quarters, I saw another man there. The son of the Supreme Pontiff, Pelo. They were discussing, and that was in Fulos bedroom. At that time, I already had guesses about the rtionship between them, but was still unwilling to believe it. But when I clearly heard the contents of their discussion, I finally realized how stupid I was, and the extent of that plot. Back then, Fulo questioned Pelo on why they hadnt found me, and he replied that he had already mobilized the Glorious Churchs force, matching with the Empires forces to find traces of me, dead or alive. That martial technique in my hands had to be seized at any cost. I gradually constructed it all from the clues I heard in the midst of their conversation. It turned out that as early as when I was out for a few years, Pelo had already made a trip to the Imperial Academy, having two purposes in mind. One was to discuss the matter of pulling me into the Glorious Church with the Emperor, and the second, to chase after Fulo. At first, His Majesty had no interest in enticing me to join the Glorious Church. But Pelo insisted, using countless means to seduce Fulo. Though, Fulo being so materialistic, due to his flowery speed and the appeal of the numerous martial techniques and pills at the disposal of the Glorious Church, she finally gave in to his continuous offenses. Pero mentioned to her that the Scion of Light would be a threat to the Glorious Church, hence the Church needed absolutely to get rid of me, to make sure of their eternal rule at the time he would be the pope and Fulo would be his empress Originally, Fulo still had some apprehensions, but Pelo expressed to his Highness the will of the Glorious Church to support their empire in vanquishing the other empires and in uniting the continent. Moreover, he promised Fulo to give her all the martial techniques from me for her to learn. Both the royal family and Fulo were finally ensnared by the benefits that way, while I became the sacrifice for all these benefits to be obtained. This was supposed to be a perfect n: by taking advantage of the trip I took with Fulo to ambush me, they wanted to deplete my strength, and then on the way back, Fulo would take advantage of my lowered guard and exhaustion to move against me, making it hardly possibly for me to escape. At that time, they would only need to kill me and report me as a betrayer to the Empire and the Church, so that even despite my reputation as the pride of the empire, the truth behind this conspiracy would rapidly be drowned. I hated them bitterly; I never expected my homnd, my lover, and my convictions to actually betray me together. At that time, my brain went nk, and as Fulo and Pero were in the midst of making out, I suddenly rushed in andunched fatal attacks against them. My appearance was just too sudden for them. Although they were top figures of the younger generation, there was a significant gap in our strengths, and this was moreover a situation of ambush. I very rapidly took the advantage, wounding Pelo seriously while suppressing Fulo with my attacks. Although arge amount of powerhouses from the pce immediately gathered as a result, they did not dare act rashly as I held Fulo and Pelo as hostages at that time. Then I questioned Fulo, _Why did you have to do this to me? What in me dissatisfied you?_ She only kept begging me for her survival then, but I had already heard all their previous conversation! How could I still trust in her words after that? At that time, my only thought was take to them down with myself. The former me was incredibly proud. At that time, I had been reduced to the position of traitor to the nation,pletely unable to ept such a huge downfall. Having no more attachment to my own life, I only wanted to take down this cheating couple with me. But that Pelo was, after all, the son of the pope, having many survival means at his disposal. Right when I was prepared to take them down with myself, he used extraordinary means to summon the popes attack, causing me to get seriously wounded. And, in the end, as I couldnt bear to move against Fulo, I could only choose to escape the encirclement. After I finally made it out, I went into hiding in the capital, covered in bruises after a narrow escape. Immediately, the Empire initiated a manhunt in the whole city, looking for traces of me. It was through the help of a beggar that I formerly saved that I luckily escaped their chase. But as I was just done healing my wounds came thunderous news. They had caught my family. Elux gritted his teeth and dered, They knew that I was concealed in the Empire, which is why they released an announcement about executing the traitors family. I still remember that day clearly: the sky seemed to get blood-red colored as His Highness passed down the execution order in front of the masses. When I saw Pelo and Fulo d in armor and cutting off my rtives heads, I lost thest ounces of hope and light in me, which all faded away. Can you imagine? Someone who witnessed all his kin getting killed. My father, mother, older sister, younger sister, and the rest of my family; even the young children were not spared: my whole family was executed with no exception. I knew that they were waiting for me to show up at that time. Waiting for me with a perfect bait, they just understood my character far too well. But at that time, a ck tile I had formerly gained in the previous training trip got affected by my dark emotions, turning my whole body cold and unable to move a single step. It was because of this that I had to stare nkly at the scene of my family getting ughtered one by one. At that time, I was furious, having entered a frantic state. My kins blood dyed the ground of the public square of the empires capital: not a single one of my three hundred sixty-seven family members escaped this fate. They all met with violent deaths under their butchers knives. At the time I recovered from that cold state, the rest of my family was already extinguished. I seemed to catch sight of their specters, pacing back and forth irresolutely in the sky, utterly unreconciled. I didnt step in as my family was already all dead, and I left that ce with an overwhelming rancor. As I did not appear from beginning to end in this ughter, they believed that I already had left the Pombo Empire, hence the hunt came to a provisional end. Instead, they went on to search for my traces over the whole continent. Chapter 659 - Heart of Eternity (II)

Chapter 659: Heart of Eternity (II)

After finally exiting the Empire, I rushed out in a set direction, running frantically for seven days and seven nights, until gettingpletely washed out, finding myself in a valley. From that day onwards, there had not been any more light in my heart, only an endless rancor and grudge. This hatred was what kept me alive: I had to kill all those who had betrayed me and ughtered my people. For some reason, at the time I lost all light, the Tortoiseshell Technique had ineffably disappeared, perhaps because it was disgusted with the hatred I had. But this didnt matter in my eyes: that ck tile I had was the inheritance of an ancient necromancer. Light and necromancy should be two totally opposite powers, but thanks to my innate gifts, I gradually fused them as one. I needed power; I needed to topple the whole Pombo Empire and destroy all the Glorious Churchs forces. I had no more rtives: everyone else in this world were my enemies. Only their blood and lives could offset the rancor in my heart. I trained day and night, increasing my strength massively, all for the sake of taking revenge one day. Revenge became my greatest driving force. A Scion of Light hidden in deep mountains to train at a hundred percent. Can you imagine how frightening that is? At the time I left these deep mountains, I was not the Scion of Light Elux anymore, but the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. I killed people at sight, turning all living beings into undead under mymand. Starting from a small town, I gradually gathered my army of undeads. When I was back at the Pombo Empire, I already had a million undead by my sides. I thoroughly destroyed the Pombo Empire, and when that slut Fulo followed Pombo back to the Glorious Church, I finally brought my undead army to destroy the Church. I wanted to annihte them thoroughly for the sake of avenging my family. Hearing all he said, Long Haochen couldnt help but burst out in rage, Havent you thought about these countless innocents you took with such a revenge? Your targets of revenge were the royal family of Pombo Empire and the Church. So why did you have to implicate so many people? He sympathized with Eluxs encounters, but was utterly disgusted with his ruthless methods and his treatment of other humans. Elux revealed an indifferent expression of sadness, When I hesitated in the past, I came to regret it afterwards. But at that time, the three empires and the Church were just too powerful, so a single persons strength couldnt possibly seed in exacting revenge. For the sake of revenge, I walked through my downfall, and headed for darkness. But at that time, I never even considered that I could be in the wrong. ughter was all that mattered in my eyes. Long Haochen did not utter a word, because he could feel a deep sadness and remorse from Elux.?He regrets it? Could it be that the former Holy Necromancer who caused tremendous damage to humankind, Elux, is regretting his acts? Could it be because of Caier and me? Even if Elux had a remorseful heart, Long Haochens impression of him wouldnt change like that. The sin being alreadymitted, could remorse even undo it? Just how many humans blood had stained on his hands? After I destroyed my own homnd, the Glorious Church chose to unite hands with the other two Empires to handle me, initiating a war. At that time, I had already taken over close to a third of the whole continent, and had arge amount of undead powerhouses under my hands, their soulfire being under my control, making them iparably loyal. An army of a billion undeads was under mymand, throwing themselves at the Glorious Church like a gue. Although the Glorious Church had powerful divine magic, as a Holy Necromancer, the undead under my control had an extreme resistance toward light. At the start of the war, I had a total advantage. But undead were after all merely undead. Even if they were even more loyal, they had lost that intelligence belonging to humans. The hearts the people united gradually in this Glorious Era, and once they steadied their troops, the counteroffense wasunched under the lead of the Glorious Church. At that time, I was already exceedingly powerful, able to resist even the attacks from the pope of the Glorious Church. But I couldnt be certain that my undead army would win on its own. In an ultimate decisive battle, my undead army was defeated, and although it came also at a bitter cost for the human armies, I was in the end defeated. Heavily wounded by the group of experts led by the Glorious Churchs pope, I had a malicious weakening curse inflicted by that pope. For the next millennia, I was in great pain due to that sacred curse,ing to an eternal slumber. This war ended with my defeat, but my revenge was still a sess. Although I suffered unredeemable heavy wounds, those ones who harmed my kin were all killed, including the Pope, Pelo, and Fulo. I still remember clearly that the instant I broke Fulos heart in pieces, her eyes were filled with pain and struggle. I had taken out her heart to see whether it was still colored red. Pero was turned into an undead by the most painful means. Keeping him by my side, I slowly boiled his soulfire over the course of a thousand years, finally annihting itpletely and eternally stopping him from reincarnating. Back then, this Tower of Eternity was created to nurture my physical body. But unfortunately, I finally didnt manage to surmount that hateful curse. Otherwise, given my cultivation of that time, I wouldnt die even after living a thousand, no, ten thousand years. But in reality, what caused my eternal slumber was not the wounds on my body, but in my heart. After I had killed all my foes, I found out that there was nothing left to keep me attached to this world. My loves ones were dead, my hated ones as well. My heart became empty, with no more care for living, so I finally chose to let myself die out. Then I put myself into deep slumber here, because I was unwilling to recall about the war of that time, and to ponder about whether I was in the right or in the wrong. Now it looks that I was in the wrong. I was really in the wrong, no matter whether I had ughtered them or not, my kin still wouldnt be brought back. Moreover, I have taken so many innocent lives My guilt is already beyond redemption. I am the worst human sinner. Reaching this point, Eluxs sad look carried a sincere disappointment and frustration when looking at Long Haochen and Caier, I need to thank the two of you for waking me up, and for freeing me of my former rancor. I dont know for how long I have been asleep, but after all of it passed and I finally calmed down for real, I can see the evil crimes I havemited. As you said, my power is not fitting for you two to inherit. This inheritance belonging to necromancy should rather disappear forever, to avoid the possibility of another such disaster. I originally believed that all the humans in this world were despicable and shameless creatures, all beyond redemption. But seeing the feelings between the two of you, I realize that I was in the wrong. Of the two of you, one was all willing to renounce her own life for the sake of the other one, paying with no hesitation the cost of her own heart. And the other one chose to rather give up on his holy convictions as the Scion of Light for his beloved one. You two have finally shown me what true devotion is, what a true couple united until death parts them is. Thank you: upon finally witnessing the feelings between you two, I have finally understood that love really exists in this world, that not all humans are despicable creatures. So it really was a heartless urge I had to ughter everything in my way. There is already no more meaning in regretting since long ago, but, after telling all this to you, I feel much morefortable. The evil tendencies that filled my heart are also getting purified, and although I wont ever possibly return to the embrace of light, at least this evil body can make a contribution with its holy origins. Saying that, Elux pointed his right hand at the coffin in front of them. The previously spilling death energy immediately gushed out. His left hand made a gesture at Long Haochen and Caier, and their bodies immediately got surrounded in a golden barrier, therefore rendering them unaffected by any of the death energy. One could clearly see that the death energy pulsing violently was all turned white, and although Long Haochen and Caier only had the time to sense a glimpse of that previous gush of death energy, they perceived an astonishing purity in that death energy. A death energy of such purity was already beyond the scope of a Holy Necromancers level. That was all the umtion Elux did throughout several thousand years! Such terrifying might could be called the totality of Eluxs attainments in life beyond holy light. A white stream of air gathered as Elux slowly lifted his hand, causing strips of white light to revolve around his right arm. As his fingertips turned more and more glistening, that dazzling luster turned all the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternitypletely white. Elux dered impassively, Caier, you have gone through a great torment, and when you finally walked past the final path, I had already decided to take you as my inheritor. You have certainly purified my heart and soul, making me realize how filthy this inheritance of mine is, thus I want to offer you something unrted to holy necromancy. In my several past years of slumber, I had condensed the purest kind of death energy. As you have the Body of Samsara, you innately possess the power of purification. This death energy of mine will make a perfect synergy with you. Although I cannot offer my power for you to inherit, you can treat this as a gift for you. No need to consider rejecting it, or even try. What I, Elux, decided upon will necessarily take ce. Unless you want to leave Long Haochen to kill himself, just gradually absorb all this death force of mine. The surrounding white light gradually vanished, and a peach-sized white, sparkling, translucent bead appeared in front of Elux. Chapter 660 - Heart of Eternity (III)

Chapter 660: Heart of Eternity (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # In a sh of light, this white pearl quietly flew in front of Caier, the golden skull, Eternal Melody, floating back in reaction. But in this process, the Eternal Melody changed gradually, moving rhythmically like a liquid. The Eternal Melody transformed in the process, to finally turn into the appearance of Long Haochens portrait, floating in front of Caier. The white death energy integrated with the pearl, and immediately, the golden Eternal Melody flickered in white. Not only could none of the death energy inside be sensed, but conversely, it was full of a sacred smell. Hanging onto Caiers neck, the new Eternal Melody stuck close to her chest, and just like before, embedded itself in her chest in a sh of white light. Caier only felt a refreshing power spread from the Eternal Melody, entering her body and melding with her spiritual energy. Without need for her to do anything, her spiritual energy rose slowly. Elux had his death energy stored inside the Eternal Melody, but didnt directly give it for her to absorb out of fear about its excessive quantity, which Caier would immediately find unbearable. Looking at Caiers stunned expression, Elux had a faint smile on his face, No need to thank me. This is the first gift I am offering you. As for the second gift, it will be giventer. Be at ease, since I have offered this gift to you, I will naturally help you two lovers to be together. Otherwise, even the greatest gift wouldnt be enough to please you without him by your side. Hearing his words, Long Haochen and Caiers faces couldnt help but disy an expression of joyful surprise. Although Long Haochen really loathed Elux, he really hated to part. Even if all the other reasons were to be thrown aside, just for Caiers sake, he was really unwilling to die like that. Eluxs right hand once again pointed to the coffin in front of him, and this time, what came out from there was a bright light of an iparable purity. When it bubbled up from the coffin, Elux immediately gained an illusory look, as if his soul was sustaining a great attack. Compared to the previous gathered energy of death, the golden radiance that Elux liberated this time became much slower, his face looking a lot more grave than before, so much so that it was a bit strange. Although that golden barrier was there, Long Haochen could clearly feel a light essence of great purity. Was what wasing out the holy power hed stored in himself for several thousand years? Long Haochen looked at Elux with shock, although he loathed Elux for his previous doings. However, he couldnt help but admire him greatly for his aplishment in cultivation. Solely by relying on his soul force, he was actually able to draw out power from that body. This showed how great his perception of the power of light was! Asking himself, Long Haochen reached the conclusion that the gap separating himself from Elux was still iparably wide. Out of all the powerhouses he had ever met, the strongest ones were undoubtedly the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu and this Holy Necromancer Elux. The former may be stronger in total spiritual energy, but in view of the control over light Elux had in his soul form, Long Haochen determined that even Fengxiu was definitely not an opponent for Elux. The light was extracted for a whole hour, before ending gradually. Long Haochen and Caier understood that what Elux was now doing pertained greatly to Long Haochens resurrection. Only, they did not understand by which method the formerly most powerful necromancer was attempting to recover Long Haochens lost heart. The coffin was not releasing bright light anymore, and Eluxs face became even more focused than before. His left hand was pressed lightly onto his forehead, and then, a light ray with a tail of light came out from the midst of his soul. His movement was slow, and the expression on his face started to twist, as he seemingly suffered a great pain. But, both his hands were extremely stable, maintaining the same movement. Gradually, that dot of light was pulled out entirely from his soul. When he was done, his originally very corporeal soul body immediately became transparent, much weaker than before. Eluxs hands both started the same movement. From his hands, dots of light gathered into arge ball, and his hands started to traceplicated symbols, each movement appearing very fast. Theseplicated symbols rapidly joined with the golden mass in front of him that fluctuated constantly in front of theseplex symbols, and even trembled. As one symbol after another waspleted, Eluxs soul body became more and more transparent, and on thest one, he couldnt help but open his mouth wide, breathing while looking down toward the coffin. Immediately, a ckish-gray energy burst out from the coffin, making his soul body regain substance upon contact. Only, that ckish-gray color seemed full of evil and malevolence, ipatible with the golden color right in front. _Bang, bang, bang, bang_ A fantastic scene followed. When Elux held his hands out, facing the lumpy golden object toward Long Haochen, it made sounds simr to heartbeats, and drifted slowly toward Haochen. This is the heart I have reconstructed for you. Your flesh will be able to regain its functions and assimte its power. It will be your strongest spiritual cavity in the future, as well as the source of your whole power. I called it Heart of Eternity, and if I may say, thats the greatest masterpiece of my whole life. At this point, Eluxs couldnt help but gasp in self-admiration. Visibly, he was very proud of having made this Heart of Eternity. I know that you must loathe me, and loathe my power. Although you cannot reject this present of mine since you want to liveto be together with Caieryou feel some reluctance because you believe that your holy heart will inevitably be affected by this present, am I right? Long Haochen didnt mutter a word, silently approving Eluxs deration. Indeed, for the sake of living, he could ept receiving everything before his eyes, even if it meant going against his holy beliefs without scruples. For Caiers sake, he was willing to renounce all he had, but he knew that really epting Eluxs power, even if its just the power extracted from his body, would surely impede Long Haochens future, and greatly affect his future cultivation. Elux dered calmly, Right, because of these issues, I must make some things clear to you before you receive the Heart of Eternity. You can loathe me and reject my everything, but you cannot reject light. You are the Scion of Light, to whom the power of light is more fitting than it would be to anyone else. You saw what I just did: I gave Caier the purest death energy I have been condensing over thousand years, which is a very small part of my original power. But it prevails in its purity, as it doesnt contain any other superfluous existence, making it only advantageous to Caier, and wont leave any brand which is specific to me. I did the same when condensing this Heart of Eternity for you. I extracted all the light essence to turn it into holy power of the purest kind. Do you know what I have stripped and peeled from my very soul? It is my brand as a former Scion of Light. In other words, I am not giving you my power, but the power of the previous Scion of Light. You may understand it as receiving holy light and flesh of the purest kind from before the time I have be corrupted. As you have seen, after these two powers were stripped from me, all I have left is the power of death, as well as all the negative energies. These are all ssified as corruption, my corruption as well as lights corruption. The guilt is all mine and not lights. Go now, you are the most fitting host for my Heart of Eternity. While saying that, Eluxs eyes shed in the light as that ball of light suddenly broke into the space in the middle of Haochens heart. He felt an iparable surge of heat travelling into all his limbs and causing him to unconsciously sit crosslegged on the ground. His whole body turned golden, and he lost even the capability to think. cing his ardent gaze onto Long Haochen, Elux stared at him for a whole ten minutes before gradually loosening his breath. With a little smile on his face, he dered, I am still the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Cmity Elux. No one in this world is more knowledgeable than me regarding death and life. My Heart of Eternity was a sess, and in some sense, the past me before corruption will continue to live inside Long Haochen. Maybe this was the best choice I could do. I will be a little part of all the future contributions he will make for humanity in the future. I hope this will serve as a little redemption for all my previous sins. Caier, are you satisfied with how I handled things? Elux shifted his sight toward Caier after making sure that Long Haochen was correctly starting to integrate the Heart of Eternity. Caier bowed to him, Thank you very much for everything, Senior. She was not the same as Long Haochen, as she didnt have as pronounced of a disposition towards good. She only knew that this was previously a human sinner, who just saved her own lover. She only felt filled with gratefulness. Elux smiled at her, Although you cannot inherit my necromancy, in the end you obtained my death energy. I want to leave this world forever, and get purified by your hand. This is the best destination I could wish for. Since that time when me and hatred deceived my sight, I never thought Id see the day where Id be so very happy again. I feel like I havee back to the days I was the Scion of Light, when my life and soul were at their peak. Caier, are you willing to call me Teacher? Chapter 661 - Holding all lives, Plucking all sars, the world without someone like me (I)

Chapter 661: Holding all lives, Plucking all sars, the world without someone like me (I)

Trantor: GravityTales In thest moments of my life and existence, are you willing to call me teacher, Caier? When Elux made this request to Caier, a tint of sadness unconsciously appeared on his face. Teacher, you... Caier called him that way without a thought. How could Eluxs story not move Long Haochen and her? Long Haochen was better off, because although Elux was pitiful, his mistake really made him sin greatly against humankind. Although Long Haochen also sympathised with him, he would absolutely not forgive his sins against humanity. But Caier was, after all, a girl who had also suffered painful experiences during her youth. Her sympathy was much greater than Long Haochens, and right now she only found this formerly unrivalled necromancer really pitiful, and had no other impression of him than this great sympathy. Great, great... Hearing Caier call him teacher, Eluxs feelings were greatly stirred. Good kid. I didnt act befittingly as your teacher, but hearing you call me that, my heart finally found somefort. I, Elux, did a lot of bad deeds in this life. But in the end, I can feel honored to have a disciple such as you. Feel relieved, your teacher left you a great gift. After you return to the human world, no one will ever be able to bully you. So what if Long Haochen is the Scion of Light? The disciple of the great Elux is in no way inferior. At this point, the pride Elux had as the Holy Necromancer and Slumbering Cmity seemed to resurface at once. Lifting his right hand, he lifted it toward Caier, immediately absorbing the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. That was quite a strange thing, but that powerful Sickle of the God of Death which is the natural enemy of all undeads was wrapped in the gray-ck force in Eluxs hand, making its purifying power lose all its effects. Raising his head, Elux had a cold smile, This Tower of Eternity can be called one of my greatest aplishments. I didnt expect it to actually evolve to such an extent after I was asleep for so long. Want to break out of my control? Dont look down on me! Caier, I am going. Since you called me your teacher, I am leaving this Tower of Eternity to you. It has already evolved close to the standard of a supra-divine tool. Its intelligence is already manifesting. I will eliminate the excessive things in it. From today onwards, it will be both your weapon and shield. After its superfluous forces are purified by my hand, yourrades and you can absorb it to your liking. Dont let it go to waste. After absorbing these superfluous forces, you can all leave from this ce. In the midst of his speech, the Tower of Eternity suddenly trembled violently, massive fluctuations of spiritual energy bursting out from all directions, as if struggling to stay alive. Elux said proudly, Still struggling? You are indeed my very own creation. Dont tell me you think that because you have an intelligence of your own, you can escape from my control? At the time of your creation, I had already considered all the future possibilities. To say nothing about your current state close to a supra-divine tool, even if you had really be a supra-divine tool, I could destroy you with no effort at all. His left hand pointed to the sky, a grayish-ck ray was abruptly shot forth, aimed at the top of the Tower of Eternity. Immediately, the coffin underneath Eluxs body bubbled up with a dense grayish-ck fog scattering to all directions. The power dispersing from that Tower of Eternity only kept getting more and more powerful, and the whole Tower of Eternity shook violently, countless specters letting out sharp shrills. What Elux was doing was unknown, but the Tower of Eternity seemed to gradually get weaker and weaker as that gray-ck airflow travelled, and big expanses of white light started to wander over the stripped space of the tower. Immediately, the all-present graying ck airflow started to travel from all around to converge toward Elux, and make its way into his soul. In just a little while, Eluxs soul became pitch-ck just like ink. Intelligence strip, power strip. Purification! Eluxs iparably mighty voice spread to every floor of the Tower of Eternity. Countless specters dissolved in the midst of shrieks of terror. The purest soul force gathered alongside those stripped elemental fluctuations, and the terrible stripping force entirely deprived these elemental fluctuations of everything other than pure energy. As the greyish ck airflow became stronger and stronger, a greying ck ring of light appeared all around Eluxs body, and the Tower of Eternity gradually changed into a pure white color untainted by even the slightest speck of dust, devoid of any flow. The intense shaking gradually turned into a lighter shaking before all movements stopped, and everything seemed to return to tranquility. Large amounts of white points of light containing fluctuations of spiritual energy slowly moved rythmically in the air. Caier clearly felt the Tower of Eternity change, calming down in purity. It seemed that all the negative things, including emotions, disappeared due to Eluxs stripping. Furthermore, a strange connection created itself in her heart, reinforcing the link between the Long Haochen portrait shaped Eternal Melody and the Tower of Eternity. After purification, the Tower of Eternity will be a divine toolbining attack and defense. Although I have stripped a lot of power and intelligence from it, it is still far more powerful than ordinary divine tools. Through its connection with the Eternal Melody, it will gradually fuse with your soul, bing part of your body. This way, you will have as prolonged a life expectancy as the one Long Haochen will have thanks to my Heart of Eternity. Caier had aplex look. In fact, she didnt have any dealings with Elux until the day Long Haochen was in by the Demon God Emperor. Never did she expect herself to finally inherit the greatest part of Eluxs power. Although Eluxs necromancy was finally not imparted to her, the massive death energy stored in the Eternal Melody as well as the Tower of Eternity were both the best tools of Eluxs cultivation. Thinking back about the lonesome life he had, Caiers eyes became moist as a natural reaction. Kneeling toward Elux, she called out once again, Teacher! Elux smiled in great joy. That was a sincere joy, as he brightly dered, If there is a next life, I dont want to be the Scion of Light again. I just want to be an all the more ordinary human, and find a girl I can love whole-heartedly, marry her, have children, and live a peaceful life together. I have had a glorious period, but also a corrupted period. From the next instant on, all of this will turn into nothingness. Good bye, child. Take good care of your beloved one, your teacher wishes you the best. Saying this, he suddenly flipped the Sickle of the God of Death in his hand, using the immense de toward that terrible soul force forming myriads of white glows. This purifying force even exceeded the power of Caiers seven arts of the God of Death. The de shed on a straight line, cutting into him and through the coffin underneath as well. _Plop._ A terrible light of purification dispersed the dense soul force forming Eluxs body, and turned it into an unparallelled brilliant shine. Ear-piercing tinkling sounds urred as something seemed to take ce inside the Sickle of the God of Death. Eluxs proud voice reverberated, So what, God of Death? In the midst of getting purified, I have just broken your seal, now lets see how you will inflict bacshes to my disciple? If I wanted it, I would already long since be a god. Holding all lives Plucking all stars, the world Without someone like me Hahahaha Haha... All the darkness and filth gradually dissipated under that pure light of purification, and only the proud voice of Elux remained, reverberating through the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity. _Holding all lives, Plucking all stars, the world without someone like me_ What a proud, conceited, yet sorrowful person. The former Scion of Light and former cmity bringer for humankind, Holy Necromancer Elux, died. But in this eternal departure from this world, he had in the end someone to pay hisst respects for him. Caier stayed kneeling on the ground, already brimming with tears. Women are more sentimental than men. The current Caier had totally forgotten that this disappearing man was the terrible necromancer lord who inflicted a fatal blow to humankind. All she knew was that he was already dead, a proud ancestor who did everything to rescue her man by reconstructing a heart for Long Haochen, for the two of them to be able to stay together. No matter what Elux had done in the past, right now Caier felt grieved over the scattering of his soul. Elux had a rough and unlucky life, but he was especially happy at the time of his return to his origin. In the end, he had a person to grieve over his death. This incredibly simple matter was really precious in his eyes. The process of purificationsted for a whole half-hour, the whole space gradually settling down as the white colored dots formed of iparably pure energy drifted away. With a light _Ding_ sound,the Sickle of the God of Deathnded onto the ground quietly, awaking Caier from her emotions. Unconsciously, she strode forward and caught the weapon. Not only Eluxs soul had disappeared, but also that pure-gold colored coffin from earlier, which didnt even leave the slightest aura. When Caier held the Sickle of the God of Death in her hand, a fantastic feeling travelled through her whole body. She felt as if she had gained something more in her life, this fabulous change being brought by the Sickle of the God of Death. Chapter 662 - Holding all lives, Plucking all stars, the world without someone like me (II)

Chapter 662: Holding all lives, Plucking all stars, the world without someone like me (II)

Trantor: GravityTales That was a feeling of great closeness, as if this Tower of Eternity was part of her body. The divine tool was recognizing its master. Caier immediately made this urate judgement because the same situation had arisen once in the past, when she had integrated the Dagger of Samsara for the first time. But at that time, the Dagger of Samsara was far more tyrannical, far from being so gentle. Elux truly deserved to be called a genius among geniuses, someone who single-handedly rebelled against all the terrifying powerhouses in the whole human continent. Just by using the connection between the Sickle of the God of Death and Caier, he managed to make the Tower of Eternity ept Caier as its master. From this could be well imagined how powerful Elux was in his living days; maybe even the Demon God Emperor was below him. The Sickle of the Goddess of Death seemed to gain a great change with Eluxs purification. Its previously pitch-ck main body was surrounded by a white illumination with a bluish and purplish gloss, giving it a less tyrannical, more fantastic and proud look. Holding the Sickle of the God of Death, Caier stood speechless and motionless for a while. Within her heart echoed Eluxs story and that overbearingly haughty side of him at the time of his death. Teacher Caier murmured this reminiscing word, and the next instant, she shifted her sight toward the cross-legged Long Haochen who had entered a state of deep meditation since long ago. A thin bright light spread out from Long Haochens chest, spreading to every corner of his body before dispersing slowly. His whole body was soaked in the state of cultivation. The energy of life stabilized his whole body without a doubt: Eluxs intervention had thoroughly revived him. The miracle made by the so-called necromancer was really astonishing to see. Not sitting next to Long Haochen immediately, Caier shifted her thoughts, immediately returning to the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity. As the master of this ce, she was able to travel to any part of the Tower of Eternity at will. Shocked to no end by the surrounding changes, everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope could hardly keep waiting. The white light was of pure energy, but this was the Tower of Eternity! Without knowing exactly what that was in front of them, they didnt dare take the risk to absorb it. Moreover, the most important in their eyes was Long Haochen and Caiers safety. Without being certain of their life or death, how could they cultivate with a peaceful heart? Caier! Caier appeared suddenly, a nice surprise which caused everyones cheers. Wang Yuanyuan was the first to rush to her, holding her in her arms immediately, and the others gathered around, with Chen Yinger also holding Caier while crying very loudly and bitterly. The scene of Caiers climb through the stairs to the sky had left them with an excessively deep trauma, going beyond simple emotions. They would never forget the scene of her blood falling throughout this whole journey to the sky, to say nothing about Caiers long skirt fully soaked in blood. Held by Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger, and feeling the warm concerned looks of herrades, Caier had already lost her original ice coldness and said in a cool voice, I am all right. Sorry, I made everyone worry. Lin Xin asked eagerly, How about Captain? They all noticed that Long Haochen was not on her back anymore. Caier replied with a smile, He is alright. These words made everyone look nk for a few seconds, before cheers filled up the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity immediately. They had expected Long Haochen to be safe when they saw just Caier return, otherwise theres no way she would look so rxed; furthermore, she was not bringing back Long Haochens corpse. Yet, hearing personally from her mouth that Long Haochen was already safe, their repressed feelings gushed out like a terrible volcano. This group of humans from the young generation were all proud talents, but they looked right now beaming in joy. Their captain was actually miraculously resurrected, giving a new soul to their Bright Glimmer of Hope. Their moral pir and best brother was back! Caiers tears flowed beyond her control, Thank you, thank you all. Having such brothers and sisters is the greatest joy Haochen and I could have. Chen Yinger had aughing while crying expression as she responded, Caier, you are mistaken. We are a whole, dont just exclude us! Waa, so great, thats really great! Sima Xian gathered up Lin Xin closer by the neck, telling Caier curiously, Quickly tell us just how he was resurrected. So its really possible to resurrect someone. This necromancy is really miraculous! Caier wanted of course to share the process of Long Haochens resurrection with herpanions, so she recounted all the details of what happened afterwards. Hearing about Eluxs tragic encounters, they gradually calmed down from their high spirits. The experiences this Holy Necromancer Elux went through were really too miserable. Unconsciously, feelings of sympathy rose in their hearts. Caier let out a light sigh as she said, Teacher finally came to himself, and purified himself as a whole, as well as all the evil things in him. No matter what, he will remain my teacher forever. This pure energy left in the Tower of Eternity came from the purification of the intelligent parts of the tower. Its all pure energy, take it in everyone. Lets temporarily make a stop here, until we turn all this energy into spiritual energy of our own. The energy from the process of weakening a supra divine tool should help everyones cultivation progress greatly. The surprise attack against the Star Demon God in Modu had failed, and moreover nearly caused them to lose their captain. Bying here, they experienced countless challenges to finally manage to resurrect Long Haochen, and in the end, an opportunity to progress hade. Caier waved a hand shing in the white light, and the next instant, the whole group reappeared in the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, which was its core. All the energy could be transferred here, and moreover, that way Caier could make everyone witness the results of Long Haochens resurrection. When everyone saw the crosslegged and calmly cultivating Long Haochen, they couldnt help but cry out in joy, breaking into tears. Bright Glimmer of Hope was finally reconstituted! They all surrounded the crosslegged Long Haochen, regained their calm with great difficulty, and started cultivating. Right at the start of meditation, everyone was shocked deeply. Those soft looking white dots of light were absorbed in their bodies and immediately caused great changes. The pure energy underwent assimtion by the body, no matter which attribute of spiritual energy, and was absorbed in a very short time. There was no need to even eliminate any impurity, and the groups spiritual energies progressed at astonishing speeds during this process of absorption. Caiers process was different to some extent. She absorbed not only the pure energy in the Tower of Eternity, but also the death energy left by Elux inside the Eternal Melody. The God of Death could also be called a god of purification. Its power came from purifying spirits, and in this world, there could be said to be no other specter more powerful than Elux. His use of the Sickle of the God of Death to purify himself actually caused the weapon to evolve. But the Sickle of the God of Death joined with Caier, and after absorbing it, Caier immediately gained its support right after starting to cultivate. A massive purifying force rushed forth in Caier, converging into her spiritual energy and absorbing the death energy inside the Eternal Melody as well as the purified energy of the Tower of Eternity. In a mere split second, Caiers internal spiritual energy was promoted to the peak of the seventh step. Caiers experience already being plentiful, and her umtion sufficient since long ago, she did not have to do anything for a spiritual cavity to appear in her arms and thighs after the three spiritual stoves in her chest, forehead, and abdomen werepletely filled up, making her spiritual cavities directly rise to the number of seven. The massive spiritual energy she had yet to absorb flocked in at an astonishing speed, filling up her two brand new spiritual cavities. That instant onward, Caier formally rose to the eighth step. Although the speed of the others progress was not as fast as Caiers, it was astonishing enoughpared to the speed under ordinary circumstances. Every time the spiritual energy was operated, it rose by itself. This really filled them up with great excitement. Everyone knew that this could be their chance of a lifetime, and naturally put all their energy into it. Especially Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao, who, well aware of the gap separating the rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope from them, went to cultivating with their utmost. In a moment, the Tower of Eternity becamepletely calm. Right because of this calm, everyone focused entirely on cultivating, and no one noticed the fantastic changes underway in Long Haochen. The Heart of Eternity entered his body, taking the spot of Long Haochens heart, and a massive light essence softly entered his heart and underwent a process of gathering. When Long Haochens heart was crushed by the Demon God Emperor, the core spiritual cavity on his chest was actually smashed to pieces. Right now, even if he came back to life, all his cultivation could be said to need a restart. After the Heart of Eternity was poured in, it immediately became a joining point between all the other spiritual cavities. The massive light essence spreading outside very rapidly linked up with the other spiritual cavities, and when they all connected, the light essence flowed smoothly through Long Haochens body, restoring his original cultivation. This process of recovery was undergone very fast, and was already over by the time Caier had recounted what they had experienced. When Long Haochens spiritual energy was back to the level of the eighth step, a formidable change started to ur in his body. Chapter 663 - Holding all lives, Plucking all stars, the world without someone like me (III)

Chapter 663: Holding all lives, Plucking all stars, the world without someone like me (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The Heart of Eternity was really filled with extremely pure light essence, and used the blood vessels of the original Scion of Light, Elux. Long Haochen being a Scion of Light too, his blood vessels joined with the former Scion of Lights, although a short time of rejection had urred first. In the contest of blood vessels power, Long Haochen was far more powerful, after all Elux had already deceased several thousand years ago. Perhaps his spiritual energy did note loose, and was still as incredibly powerful, but his blood vessels had already long since decayed. He could only extract the best parts of the blood vessels, which was why after this short time of rejection and shing, Long Haochens own blood vessels tookplete control and were the ones to integrate this blood vessel power of great purity. Under these circumstances, Eluxs great capability came to view. After the blood vessels integration wasplete, arge amount of nerves started undting in Long Haochens chest, as the brand new heart was in the midst of growing. A numb feeling ran through Long Haochens whole body, waking him from a state ofa close to deep slumber Long Haochen found out about the changes in his own body very fast. A numb feeling spread out from his chest, bringing an intense pain. He clenched his teeth tensely, knowing that this was the crucial instant. The reconstruction of a heart is something he had never heard about before. Even the greatest resurrection spell of the light attribute would need a full organism to possibly achieve resurrection. But Elux had managed such a feat, a miracle of which he had be the final proof. If he were to leave things unfinished at this point just because of the intolerable pain, even a coboration of all the gods descending to his rescue would perhaps not be able to save him. For Caiers sake, and for every one of theirrades, theres no way Haochen could let such a thing happen. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, his body was soaked in sweat in just a few seconds but he remained motionless, and didnt even let out the slightest sound. He could feel that Caier was right nearby, so he couldnt let Caier be aware of his terrible pain. She had just paid far too much for his sake, and had far too much to bear. Long Haochen was really unwilling to let her worry even more. The process of heart reconstruction was reallyplex, and in this whole process, Long Haochens spiritual energy kept rising from beginning to end. Although his body had to bear an extreme pain, Long Haochen realized that great changes had clearly appeared during the reconstructionpared to before. He was neither a doctor nor a priest, and naturally had no understanding of the human heart. But even an even greater ignorant would clearly feel that something changed if he were to inspect everything inside his body. The greatest and most direct changey in the color. A normal human heart should be red, and even when spiritual energy operates, the spiritual energy should guard around the heart; this is done through the spiritual cavity appearing first in powerhouses of any vocation, the one in the heart. But Long Haochens heart waspletely different from that in this process of reconstruction. He clearly felt his flesh growing, and the new flesh that came out was all golden colored, without the slightest red tint. In the process of growing his heart, spiritual energy was liberated freely, bing one with his whole flesh. That could be described as a heart of gold. And, right now, this description was to be taken literally, his heart was really reconstructed with a golden color. Although Long Haochen did not know what change this heart would cause, he had no other choice. Before he passed out, Elux had exined everything, and he knew that Elux was doing the best for him, afraid that this mental burden would affect his future progress. Even a hateful person had pitiful parts. Long Haochen couldnt, neither was he qualified to, forgive Elux on behalf of humankind. His sin was just too serious, though after he and Caier listened to Eluxs story together, he felt sympathy for Eluxs encounters. At least he was very grateful for the huge help Elux gave him by giving him a second life. So, when Long Haochen came back to his senses, he unconsciously gave his words of thanks to Elux. The pain from his hearts reconstruction bing more and more intense, Long Haochens willpower withstood a huge trial. Caier and him had walked different paths at first, but his tolerance to physical pain was still higher. Back then, Caier mainly had mental pain to sustain. Long Haochen withstood this pain unyieldingly with only one thought, _Its for Caiers sake._ In less than a day, every member of Bright Glimmer of Hope outside from Long Haochen entered a state of deep cultivation. The The energies in the Tower of Eternity were really too pure, too massive, and could only be absorbed the most effectively by being in a state of deep cultivation, for a better general understanding. It gave off a really great feeling like an incredible opportunity. In a blink of an eye, three days had passed. Long Haochens original clothes had been reced with a ck coating, his clothes having shattered continuously under the effects of that white energy spreading all around. Every shattered bit was caused by a purification by the pure energy, putting Long Haochen into an awkward state of exposure. This ck was originally the sweat from his body expelling impurities from his body. The dark corrosion left by the Demon God Emperor in his body was expelled in this process, and more importantly, although he had to suffer an immense pain, that lump of gold in his chest became more and more rich and powerful. Atst, the reconstruction of his heart was finallypleted. After three full days of torment, Long Haochen really felt dizzy, but he kept gritting his teeth, for he had to stay awake during this whole time or else no one would know what happened during hisa. And, if he couldnt personally witness the whole process of the reconstruction of his heart, Long Haochens future cultivation would surely greatly get impeded. From the looks of it, it seemed that his heart was already back to a whole, that the veins in his body fulfilled their role as mediator properly. But Long Haochen knew that the most important step of the process of reconstruction wasing. Only when this reconstructed heart would start performing its normal work, would this process be finally over. Haochen felt nervous in those circumstances; he didnt fear death, but he was really unwilling to die. The reconstruction of a heart was absolutely never seen by any humans before, would it seed? Long Haochen had no confidence that the Heart of Eternity would really manage to seed in forming. That golden heart didnt look much different from the other internal organs, and what remained to be seen was whether it would be able to distribute vital force just like the original real heart he used to have. No one could reply to this question for Long Haochen, including the deceased Elux. If Elux was still there, he would surely feel more confident than him, but he didnt have a hundred percent certainty. When Long Haochens heart finished the process, the process of recovery restarted. In another world, a dark world of ck and red, a massive figure shook slightly. Scales that had lost their gloss from long before were on a massive body creeping on the ground for a very long time. Dark purple blood surrounded its body, this blood having flown out from these six huge heads. It preserved this posture for a long time, initiallypletely out of vital force. But right at this time, that body shook lightly, as traces of vital forces started to appear inside. These vital fluctuations appeared first on the scales, which had originally lost all their gloss, and be pitch-ck. But just before, a delicate piece of scale suddenly lit up in purple color, its splendor graduallying to view. This was the original cause for the first shake of the figure. Right, that was Haoyue, who had lost all his vital force following Long Haochens death. But, just like Long Haochen managed to have his soul preserved thanks to Ye Xiaoleis assistance, Haoyue also had a faint hope of revival. In reality, even if Long Haochens soul had dispersed, Haoyues real death would first undergo a special process. Every one of his heads having gotten tenacious, he had in his six-headed state, the ability to preserve his body for thirty-six days without decaying, and with hope for revival. That was the superiority of his bloodline. Moreover, although Long Haochens body died due to the loss of a vital organ, his soul was not yet dispersed, so Haoyue retained faint traces of leftover breath. A scale lit up, and gained in intensity like a little fire in a forest. Gradually, another scale after another followed, bing brilliant. Mysteriously, that deep purple blood onto the ground seemed to get embellished by that dark purple blood. Fluctuations of energy surfaced, and several purple dots of light surfaced from the dark purple liquid, floating through the air tond on Haoyues body. Long Haochens body suddenly stiffened, the final veins about to get flowing. The determinant instant hade. _Pop._ The blood and spiritual energy was quietly extracted, and Long Haochens body suddenly contorted violently. His focus was entirely locked on to his heart, and due to the nervousness, his body couldnt help but have slight spasms. When thest vein operated, that gold-colored heart shrank intensely. The tight grip of gold color was also a grip at Long Haochens soul. A golden htion dispersed from the tightened heart, but this time it did not simply travel back and forth, but dispersed all around. Long Haochen felt his whole body get contaminated with gold, before that golden heart finally restarted its operation. _Dudu Dudu..._ Chapter 664 - The Throbbing Heart of Eternity (I)

Chapter 664: The Throbbing Heart of Eternity (I)

Trantor: GravityTales _Dudu Dudu..._ What a marvellous sound! Only by losing it once would one realize how precious this beating sound was. When his heartbeat resumed, Long Haochens soul was close to lifeless in the midst of that vigorous heartbeat. And right at that time, a surge of spiritual energy travelled from his heart to flow through his whole body. His heart vigorously shrank, expanded, shrank back, expanded. A powerful force instantly travelled through Long Haochens whole body, not only did it contain internal spiritual energy, but even external spiritual energy was mixed into his senses. In fact, Long Haochens spiritual energy was originally over fifty thousand. In other words, the Heart of Eternity was actually able to sustain at least fifty thousand internal spiritual energy on its own, and even so, it looked far from full at the present time. How could this be? This heart held spiritual energy, and with an even greater capacity than spiritual cavities. Before this, Long Haochen would not dare imagine such a thing. But at that very moment, such an incredible feat was happening right inside him. _Dudu Dudu..._ As the heart shrank, spiritual energy was squeezed inside. The other spiritual cavities in his body were all empty, naturally needing to get refilled by the spiritual energy from the outside world. Suddenly, Long Haochen found out through introspection that his blood vessels, channels, and even his heart all got colored gold, under the influence of the pure spiritual energy pulsing vigorously all around his heart. His light attribute even went beyond pure; although it looked liquid, Long Haochen was able to feel its entirely solid state. The fusion of two great physiques of Scions of Light caused Long Haochens innate internal spiritual energy to raise the original limit. If there was some tool able to really assess his current innate spiritual energy, it would be found out with a terrifying shock that his innate internal spiritual energy now exceeded a hundred and twenty. In other words, Long Haochen should not be called a wielder of a Scion of Light physique, but the wielder of a physique of pure light. His light essence was not much different from the power from a Gods Descent of the Goddess of Light. No one would possiblypare in purity with his light in this world. As his heart pulsed, Long Haochens body felt like a huge ck hole. Every time it pulsed, the massive spiritual energy surrounding his body would get drawn in, while the Heart of Eternity would keep squeezingrge amounts of light essence to refill his body. At the moment, it was a wonder how his frantic speed of absorption of the light essence did not affect the cultivation of hisrades. The Heart of Eternity contained all the light attribute at Eluxs disposal, which was only desposited there before his heart had reconstructed. But when Long Haochen finallypleted the process of resurrection, this light of the highest grade started to show its greatest features. In just a short while, Long Haochen found out with shock that his bodys changes broke through his known limits. Just during the previous splurt of absorption, he found out that, astonishingly, the internal spiritual energy in his body actually managed to break through a hundred thousand. Right, that was the symbolic level of the ninth step. In other words, he should now be a powerhouse of the ninth step, although in actual fact, he did not experience the slightest feeling of breakthrough. This boundary should still be around the eighth step. This hundred thousand spiritual energy filled his Heart of Eternity alone, but the other spiritual cavities in his body were still empty. _What does it mean? Why didnt I progress to the ninth step even though my spiritual energy has broken through a hundred thousand?_ Long Haochen was shocked by this abnormal phenomenon even before getting the chance to rejoice over the rise of his spiritual energy. This was already far pastmon sense. Even demons would get to the ninth step after reaching a hundred thousand spiritual energy. He clearly had already surpassed this amount, yet remained on the eighth steps boundary. With Long Haochens level of intelligence, he very rapidly came to understand that to make the breakthrough from the eighth to the ninth step, a tenth spiritual cavity following the ninth needed to be produced. Only after nine filled spiritual cavities make the final breakthrough can this ninth step be passed through. And, although his internal energy had already broken through ten thousand, which should mean that his spiritual cavities reached an amount of nine, in practice his spiritual cavities still hadnt reached this amount, only his spiritual energy having broken through. This miracle was really due to the Heart of Eternity. The Heart of Eternity reced his initial chest parts spiritual cavity, and had far greater effects than the original one. Long Haochens spiritual energy was still not reaching the required level, which is why he didnt break through the ninth step yet. Chest, head, abdomen, arms, and thighs, totalling seven spiritual cavities. Thats Long Haochens current foundation, which is to say that his cultivation should ordinarily be limited to seventy thousand spiritual energy, and need to wait for the opening of a new spiritual cavity to advance further. But the appearance of the Heart of Eternity smashed this limit. Although the Heart of Eternity reced his original spiritual cavity, its storing power was not ten thousand, but a hundred thousand. In other words, Long Haochens tolerance to spiritual energy shot up from seventy thousand to a hundred sixty thousand. So although his spiritual energy progressed, his cultivation stage had not increased yet. But one may well imagine how terrifying the concept of a powerhouse of the eight step with a cultivation of a hundred and sixty thousand spiritual energy was. And when Long Haochens Heart of Eternity pulsed, his output of spiritual energy reached a full hundred and sixty thousand, meaning his cultivation stage was still at the eighth step, but his level of strength thoroughly reach the ninth step, onlycking some extraordinary abilities appearing at the ninth step. His transfer of spiritual energy and burst power even surpassed powerhouses of the ninth step with the same amount of spiritual energy. This reconstructed Heart of Eternity Elux gave him was really formidable. In the case where Long Haochens spiritual cavities would get filled up, his strength would increase to at least twice its previous amount, and that was if his cultivation level would not keep going up in the meantime. And with this Heart of Eternity, Long Haochens absorption of spiritual energy became far faster than ordinary powerhouses of the eighth step. As long as he would just keep opening his spiritual cavities, he would certainly not need a long time before breaking through the ninth step. As his heart recovered, the amount of pure energies in the whole Tower of Eternity had visibly increased. And right now, the others had nearly all reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. With these massive pure energies free to be absorbed, the others didnt need long before encountering the limits of their spiritual cavities. The increase in spiritual energy could be shortcut thanks to these pure energies, but the establishment of the spiritual cavities had no shortcuts. It was only achievable by relying on ones own spiritual energy andprehension. So, their previous rocketing speed of cultivation started to slow down at this point, but no matter what one may say, their cultivation in this Tower of Eternity was much faster than in the outside world. And, they had only just absorbed a small portion of this energy yet. _Roaa._ As Long Haochens heart reformed, another powerhouses heartbeat resumed. _Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom._ In the midst of intense and powerful heartbeats, a purplish glow shone upon every single scale. The purple liquid on the ground had already fully disappeared, and the six pairs of eyes on these multiple heads all had purple ripples in their midst. A cold denseness filled this overwhelming roar, venting the rage in him. Right, Haoyue had awoken, and in the midst of this process, his body started to emit intense fluctuations. A massive bloodline force operated at lightning-fast speed, as his six heads all had frantic looks, full of desire for destruction. So far, the Demon God Emperors n against Long Haochen was aplete failure. Four yearster. Tombal Mountain Pass, Mage Temple. Idiot girl, stop waiting. After over four years without any news, Im afraid that they are... A richly d mage in a fiery red gown tried to persuade the girl in full uniform in front of him. This girl had pink hair, looking to be in her twenties. Beautiful, her look was far deeper than any ordinary person, and powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy spread out indiscernibly from her. Right now, her eyes were filled with determination and conviction, Grandpa Lin, dont try to convince me. I wont leave the Mage Temple before getting certain news of their death. Or dont you want me here anymore? The old mages eyes shed down with tears, Xiner, you are really a good girl. Its his greatest fortune for that bastard Lin Xin to have found a good girl such as you. But he did not even get to enjoy this great fortune! Four years ago, the Holy War ended, the demons have withdrawn, so, if they are still alive, theres no reason that they wouldnt havee back after so long. The demons withdrawal was so inexplicable too. Xiner, I am also unwilling to believe about their death, but I cannot bear to watch you waste your lifetime. You are still young. To keep holding up your time further will affect your lifelong happiness. Your grandpa Lin is of course willing for you to apany me in the Mage Temple, you are more fit for a granddaughterpared to that bastard. But your grandpa Lin cannot be so selfish! I cannot let myself affect your future happiness! Right, this old mage was Lin Xins grandfather, auxiliary head of the Mage Temple Lin Chen. And this girl was Li Xin, nicknamed the Hell Rose. One should not have a hasty judgement of Li Xin for being a knight. Shes well reputed, loved and respected by all soldiers in the Tombal Mountain Pass, as she never drifted away from the battlefield, despite having gotten wounded many times in battle. After Lin Xin left, she stayed here all this time, fighting alongside her Demon Hunt Squad. Chapter 665 - Throbbing Heart of Eternity (II)

Chapter 665: Throbbing Heart of Eternity (II)

Trantor: GravityTales As the Holy War was on the verge of ending, her Demon Hunt Squads captain Luc Xi had died in an enemy ambush, and her Demon Hunt Squad consequently dissolved. After the termination of the Holy War, the other members went off on their own way, returning to their Temples. Only Li Xin remained here, waiting for Lin Xins return. Over these four years, she remained cultivating in the Mage Temple, apanying Lin Chen to aplish Lin Xins filial duty. Lin Chen urged her many times, but she still did as she ought to, and never consented to leave. Lin Chen really loved dearly this girl who should originally be her granddaughter-inw, but he felt that he couldnt be so selfish! Lin Xin had disappeared for over four years, appearing for thest time in the Spiritual Temples Myriad Beast Mountain Pass. After having spent so long fighting in the depths of demon territory, the odds of survival were just far too low. Lin Chen had to admit that he didnt want to keep wasting Li Xins future like that. Grandpa Lin, stop with that. I wont leave. I have to wait for him and Haochen. They will surely be back. Faint tears gushed out from Li Xins eyes. Even if she acted tough, she had a weak side deep inside. She obviously knew very clearly that the odds for Lin Xin and the others to be still alive were very low, but even if there were only small odds, that was at least some chance. As long as she didnt see their corpses, Li Xin wouldnt admit their deaths. Ai. What a foolish girl you are! Okay, stay down here for now. After a few days pass, we will leave for the Temples Great Gathering which takes ce once in ten years in Holy City. After it terminates, you will have to at least stop by home. You already know about the numerous letters your father has sent over there already. Li Xin nodded silently. Right, even if she was resolute to wait for Lin Xin and Long Haochen here, she had to at leaste by home sometime. Lin Chen smiled to her, Xiner, you have already broken through the eighth step, and have plenty of fighting experience. The dual swords your grandfather has called to be custom made for you should arrive soon. After the Temples Great Gathering ends, do you feel confident in contesting a Golden Foundation Armor from your Knight Temple? Li Xin was not the girl from back then anymore. After four years of single-minded cultivation, she broke through the bottlenecks of the seventh and eighth steps, bing a powerhouse of the first rank of the eighth step. After surviving this Holy War as a Demon Hunter, her cultivation had made considerable progress, and she was even a Mythril Foundation Armor wearer already. Although the challenge for a Golden Foundation Armor was still be difficult, Li Xin had already ordered a pair of heavy swords of epic tier to be custom-made for her! That was using the riches Lin Chen had originally kept prepared for his only grandson, but Lin Xin having yet to return until now, these resources went instead for Li Xin. The Holy War of those years was a massive cmity for the Temple Alliance in that time. An incredible count of soldiers from the Temple Alliance had died during these two years of war in all Temples included, but in the same way, the demon side suffered disastrous losses. Four years had already passed since the end of the Holy War. During this time, the several thousand years of umted superiority came on disy; although the steep decline in manpower was not an issue that could be resolved in a sh, the other aspects recovered very fast. In particr, after experiencing that Holy War, the surviving powerhouses from all Six Great Temples almost all experienced a qualitative rise in strength. Cases like Li Xin were very frequent: after two years of Holy War, and four years of stabilization, the number of powerhouses in the Temple Alliance was even higher than before the Holy War. Only, there were far fewer ordinary soldiers than before. The Temples Great Gatherings start was an event urring once every ten years. The Six Great Temples greatest powerhouses would assemble on this grand asion to exchange blows, while establishing new rankings. Almost all the higher-ups from the Six Great Temples knew that this one Great Temples Gathering was really out of the ordinary. Being the first Great Temples Gathering since the end of the Holy War, it would not only create a brand new ranking, but moreover determine a lot of strategic policies. Two years of Holy War had enormously depleted the Alliance, but the demon side also suffered a great loss of strength, and two demon god pirs were even destroyed. The Temple Alliance became like a sharp sword sharpened on the demons, which had grown incredibly in sharpness. The human side did not weaken on par with the Demon God Emperors expectations, but became instead more and more prosperous every day. Although the Temple Alliances side was still shortpared to the global demon strength, this gap was not that wide anymore. If the younger generation that experienced the Holy War were to grow, it would be hard to say for how many years the demon side would be able to keep pressuring the Temple Alliance. For the sake of preserving the demon superiority, the Demon God Emperor threw himself onto the eastern side and southern sea. Although some magical beasts inhabited the sea, it was even more filled with food. Highly nutritive food was extremely important to raise the demon sides strength. Never had they been short of powerhouses, but they always had to plunder humans to gain pitiful amounts of food. So, shifting their sight to the sea was an iparable solution, as they had so much more to obtain in there. This matter was now under the responsibility of the Moon Demon God Agares, proving the high importance attached by the Demon God Emperor onto it. The Temples Great Gathering was on the verge of starting, and that was not just simple battle, but the greatest grand asion for the Six Great Temples, a great contest in all kinds of aspects, to finally establish a final ranking of the Great Temples. Although such a contest couldnt possibly be a hundred percent fair, the Temple Alliance having been developed for so many years, the utmost was already done to ensure the greatest fairness. Li Xin would naturally be taking the arms on behalf of the Knight Temple at that time. Hearing Lin Chen ask her how she felt about challenging a Golden Foundation armor, Li Xin couldnt help but shake her head with a smile on her face, Grandpa Lin, Im still a ways behind. Talents came forth inrge numbers in the Alliance, and so many young powerhouses have sprang out in our Knight Temple. With the few Golden Foundation armors that are avable, I dont want to fight for them. Lets discuss this after my strength bes sufficient. Lin Chen responded proudly, How could your strength be insufficient? After my Vulcans Swords arepleted for you, even challenging a junior powerhouse of the ninth step may not be impossible. I think that we should take advantage of this Temples Great Gathering to directly pick a Golden Foundation Armor for you. Li Xin stayed silent. Seeing the look on her face, Lin Chen naturally knew what she was thinking about, Foolish girl, dont tell me you are still unwilling to ept it? You are not my granddaughter by blood, but in my eyes, you are far stronger than that little Lin Xin. To say nothing about hisplete disappearance, even if hees back alive, I dont have any assets to leave for this little bastard. If you still recognize this grandfather, stop rejecting me, or I am going to get angry. Dont tell me you want me to bring my things alongside in my coffin when I go? And since a knight sword is already being made, what would I even keep it for? Li Xins eyes reddedned, Grandpa Lin, youre really so good to me. Lin Chen smiled in response, Dont tell me your not treating your grandfather just as well? Dont overthink it. Strive your best during this period to make a good show in the Temples Great Gathering: its different from the different sessions because, due to the Holy War of four years ago, Im afraid that there will be many more variables . It is also a great chance for the Alliance. Li Xin felt moved, nodding lightly. Lin Chen was a higher-up of the Mage Temple, but in the end, as she was from the Knight Temple, there were many matters Lin Chen was not allowed tomunicate to her. He could only give her obscure warnings, which was already sufficient given her intelligence. Holy City. There is a simple small wooden cabin, with all the chairs and tables inside made of the simplest wood. Only, this wooden material was very special, with beautiful wooden designs, and dispersing a faint flowery vor. This Heavenly Incense Wood was a very precious material. Its smell brought great benefits to the human body, extending ones life while having invigorating effects. In front of a simply designed wooden table a girl sat calmly. This girl was d in a white skirt, and had pure and wless looks. Only, traces of sadness were visible in her eyes. A pile of red splinters was visible on the wooden table in front of her, from the curves on those shards it was clear their shape had once been close to spherical. Its been four years, you baldie. What a bastard! Why arent you giving me any news? The Scarlet Dragon Bead has broken so your Scarlet Dragon Armor is already in pieces, but you know, I am still waiting for you. I believe that you must still be alive. Youre still alive right? As she spoke so, a deep purple pearl appeared in her hand. This pearl dispersed a very special power, like faint coiling electricity. Although these fluctuations of spiritual energy were faint, that was still a fantastic phenomenon to behold. Its been four years, and youre definitely still alive, but just where are you? Why are you still noting back after so long. Dont you know how I... At this point, tears flowed and sshed onto the table. In these past months, Holy City was especially lively, because the Great Alliances Gathering which took ce once every ten years was beginning soon. If the Demon Hunt Competition was the grand asion for the younger generation, the Temples Great Gathering was the most important asion for the whole Alliance. For the sake of this gathering, the Six Great Temples had gathered the great majority of their powerhouses there, for the sake of having manpower ready for this Temples Great Gathering. A lot of ordinarily secluded elder hade to Holy City one after another, and although there were still a few days left before the event, the Temple Alliance had meetings underway every day. The higher-ups of the Six Great Temples unceasingly consulted each other, though the content of the discussion was a top secret, only known to the top of the higher-ups. Any sharp person would realize that this gathering was different from all previous sessions. The atmosphere was also a lot more tense, as if something big was about to take ce. Chapter 666 - Throbbing Heart of Eternity (III)

Chapter 666: Throbbing Heart of Eternity (III)

Trantor: GravityTales In a silent room, two elders were seated in front of each other with stern looks on their faces, really making the atmosphere in the room stifling. Shockingly, the identities of these two decisive characters were of the two heads of the Knight Temple, Yang Haohan and Long Tianying. Yang Haohan was not only a head of the Knight Temple, but moreover the head of the Alliance. But of course, this position was already nearing the term of office limit. ording to the rules of the Alliance, a head of the Alliance couldnt serve for another consecutive term of office. In other words, Yang Haohan inevitably needed to leave office. Brother Long, this one is left to you. Ai... Yang Haohan let out a long sigh, cleary sounding deste. Long Tianying wrinkled his brows, The bnce is bound to change! Im afraid that our Knight Temple is... Yang Haohan naturally knew what he was referring to, and forced a smile, So whats to be done about it? The Temple that had the most outstanding emerging figures in the younger generation ten years ago was our Knight Temple. But in this Holy War, we were also the ones who sustained the highest damage. Xinyu is already back, but, for some reason, he was only willing to remain on guard in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and nothing could convince him to participate in this gathering. Now we must trouble you. Long Tianying let out a cold snort, Dont mention this unfilial son. Showing such a gloomy face all the day, who knows whats going through his mind. Yang Haohan consoled him, Dont me Xingyu. Haochen has been missing for so long, how could he not be worried. Mentioning Haochen, these two formidable Divine Knights couldnt help but became silent. Right, ever since Long Haochen brought Han Yu out from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, he had already been missing for over four years. Thest time they had appeared was in the Spiritual Temple, and afterwards, they had had no more news. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan had already made secret inquiries to the Spiritual Temple regarding all this. Long Tianying suddenly pped the table loudly, dering remorsefully, Its all my fault! I shouldnt have allowed him to reform his Demon Hunt Squad. If he had remained in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, how could we possibly be reduced to such a passive state? Four years ago, he had already broken through the eighth step. With these four more years, even the ninth step might not be out of his reach now. Hes the Scion of Light, a gods chosen one! Even though his cultivation would still be rather weaker, with the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, this Temples Great Gathering would surely make him a great shining star. But now things are so awkward for the two of us. Yang Haohans face darkened, This matter is still Wenzhaos fault. If he hadnt gone to rescue him, they would not have gone missing. We have been doing all we could to look for traces of them, but we still didnt find anything. However, I still dont believe that they were truly done in by the demons. Long Tianying revealed a faint tint of sadness, Who would believe in that? The most outstanding talents from our Knight Temples younger generation are all gone! Now we are unable to even make ends meet. Recently, Li Zhenzhi has even clearly expressed his will to support the rbination of the Six Great Temples, to end the current state of dispersion of the Alliance, unite us more closely, and make the Alliance a nation. This is clearly a provocation against us! Doesnt he simply want to be the first head of this new Alliance? Yang Haohan dered, This Li Zhengzhi is strong, but he has a very sinister and perverse character. Although hes behaving appropriately, he is actually extremely proud to the core. Having him rule over the Alliance wont be a lucky chance, but Im afraid that we would hardly even be able to stop him, unless those seniors from the Titled Demon Hunt Squads step in. Long Tianying shook his head, Thats impossible. These seniors have all clearly expressed their neutral standpoint on this Temples Great Gathering, and wont possibly take part. Humph, Li Zhengzhi! lets see how much progress he has made over these past ten years. He truly was a mighty experienced tiger. Right now, Long Tianying had an intense fighting intent rushing out from him. Yang Haohan dered, No matter who the final head is, establishing a new Alliance demands immediate action. The Holy War from four years ago has certainly caused severe damage to us, but it has started a new era for us as well. If a charismatic leader can unite the whole Alliance and its ressources, I believe that our counterattack against the demons could start soon. Long Tianying nodded, When we met with Sheng Yue yesterday, the Assassin Temple expressed supporting us wholeheartedly. I have also convinced Qiu Yonghao on the matter, but since they are very close with the Mage Temple, I dont see much chance. The Priest Temple stands neutral so far, but now the greatest issue is the Spiritual Temples attitude. Our chances would really increase greatly if they could support us. Yang Haohan responded, I think we dont need to worry too much regarding our supporters. After all, we have already ruled over the Alliance for so many years already. We wont have any less support than the Mage Temple, but right now the most important is the result we will show in the Temples Great Gathering. This is very important, as the resistance against demonkind entails an inevitable sh against the Demon God Emperor. Strength will be one of the most important factors of authority in the new Alliance. Li Zhengzhi is really endowed in this aspect, especially after he has been bearing patiently over these past years. He clearly showed reserve at the Temples Great Gathering from ten years ago, since he didnt show an absolute certainty at that time. He is clearly really more provoking this time, meaning he really is determined to win! Old Long, dont be negligent, Li Zhengzhi is after all dominating in his age. Im afraid that his internal spiritual energy has already broken through two hundred thousand, or perhaps even higher! Long Tianying said, No matter the case, we have to give it a try. It wont be so easy for him to beat me! Yang Haohan said, There are three more days before the Temples Great Gathering starts. Lets go, we shall gather the elders from our Knight Temple right now. Yeah. Long Tianying nodded, and the two powerhouses stood up at the same time, heading out. Right this instant, a vigorous sound came from outside, Chiefs, someone is requesting you. Yeah? Yang Haohan wrinkled his eyebrows, Who is it? He didnt say it, he just said he had something to give you. The voice reverberated from outside. Yang Haohan opened the door and came out, seeing a Mythril Foundation Armored middle-aged knight stand respectfully in front of him, handing over an insignia held in both his hands. With a wave of Long Tianyings hand, that insignia came flying toward them. Yang Haohan then lifted his hand, catching the insignia inside. The two Divine Knights took the same action of looking at it without consulting. To the shock of that Mythril Foundation Knight, the instant the gazes of these two Divine Knights gathered onto that insignia, they became simultaneously filled with shock. Looking at each other unconsciously, Yang Wenzhao and Long Tianying shouted at the same time at that Mythril Foundation Knight, Wheres the owner of that insignia? Headquarters of the Temple Alliance, in a secluded room of the Mage Temple. The chubby Li Zhengzhi sat calmly in the center of the room. A deep green glow surrounded him, not just his whole body but a lot of empty space as well, dispersing a metallic gloss. That was clearly a materialization of Spiritual Hignd which looked close to a solidified state, giving off no illusory feel. Expelling a deep breath of air, Li Zhengzhi slowly opened his eyes, and a green electric light shot out from his eyes, shooting straight at the Spiritual Hignd in front of him. _Ding_. The spiritual hignd barrier shook lightly before turning into countless green dots of light. Li Zhengzhi took a deep breath of air, and, immediately, the green light disappeared, absorbed into his body. Reporting to Temple Head. The elders are waiting for you. A respectful call came from outside. Yeah. Li Zhengzhi gave a light reply, his body starting to float slowly. His feetnded on the ground, slowlying out of the room. A middle aged man d in a green gown was waiting silently outside. Seeing Li Zhengzhie out, he bowed his head immediately. The headquarters of the Alliance allocated six areas for the respective Temples, so the Mage Temple naturally had there own one. After going through two alleys, the middle-aged mage brought Li Zhengzhi directly to a luxurious conference room. Although the Mage Temple was inferior to the Knight Temple in status, their riches were something no other Temple couldpare to. Seeing Li Zhengzhi go in, everyone in the conference room straightened their posture. His figure shifting position, he appeared on the front-most seat of the room. A total of fifty people were present inside, and although this was just a simple conference room, if a stranger were to be present here, he would be shocked to discover that the magic essence here was more dense than in the outside world by tenfold. Just a simple breath gave a feeling of stickiness. Without a doubt, these dense magic essences were brought by the people present inside. At least eighty percent of the mages present there had white hair and beards. They were clearly seated here for a long time, waiting for Li Zhengzhi to take charge of the meeting shortly. This bit made clear Li Zhengzhis standing in the Mage Temple. When the other Temples convened simr meetings, the Temple Head would normally not be thest one to arrive, out of respect for the elders from their respective Temples. But Li Zhengzhi was clearly thest one to arrive, showing not only his personal disposition, but more importantly his authority in the Mage Temple. Sweeping his eyes over the rest of the assembly, he dered, All of you elders, the Temples Great Gathering is about to start. ording to reliable sources, this time the contestant from the side of the Knight Temple will be Long Tianying. The Knight Temple has been supporting the establishment of a new Alliance,so lets encourage their n, since theres no other way around it for now. I have always been against the establishment of this new Alliance so far, not because I was against unifying the Six Great Temples forces, but because our Mage Temple still didnt have the strength to control it. But this Temples Great Gathering is not the same. Chapter 667 - They are finally back (I)

Chapter 667: They are finally back (I)

I hope that each of you will support me in this unification. I dont wish to hear any unharmonious voice. To repell demonkind, a new Alliance needs a sufficiently powerful and capablemander. This is a responsibility that cannot be passed to any others: the Knight Temple is already getting aged, and I am confident in being able to lead a new holy war against demonkind. During my living years, I am resolved tomand the Alliance, andmand humankind to retake ournd. Li Zhengzhis speed was very rxed, but contained an unquestionable might. Hearing him, although some elders furrowed their brows or showed some dissatisfaction, most of the rest had fervent looks. The Mage Temple was so far always the number two of the Alliance, having been suppressed for far too long by the Knight Temple. That was because they hadnt had a genious mage such as Li Zhengzhi, wind element master mage, who recently started to secretly change this situation. And now was finally the time to mobilize. How could they not get excited? Auxiliary Head Lin. Li Zhengzhi raised his head to look at the nearby Lin Chen. Lin Chen nodded to him, All the preparations are ready Li Zhengzhi had a faint smile, Alright, lets announce some candidates for the Temples Great Gathering next. The Knight Temple and Mage Temple were not the only ones to convene meetings. The other Temples also convened simr meetings; the establishment of a new Alliance was imminent. The higher-ups from the Six Great Temples were acting exactly as though authority over the new Temple Alliance was a prize to be won. The atmosphere in the Warrior Temples gathering was a lot more rxed than the Mage Temple. Qiu Yonghao was seated on the main seat, and a total of more than thirty elders were reunited inside of the Warrior Temple. Okay, lets settle things this way. We are giving our full support to the Mage Temple. Li Zhengzhi has already given us his promise to give the Warrior Temple an important status after a new Alliance is established. I have already prepared most arrangements; do you have some more suggestions? This meeting will be thest one before the Temples Great Gathering starts. If anyone has any objection, raise it right now, otherwise, I will take it that we are all agreed to move as one. There had already been a lot of meetings in the Warrior Temple, and the objections and suggestions were raised since long before. Right now, Qiu Yonghao made the elders from the Warrior Temple nod in session, expressing their final words of approval. Right at this time, an abrupt objection broke the harmony in the room. I have an objection. This deration was really just too sudden, and was formted by an illusory figure, appearing without warning beside the Warrior Temples Head Qiu Yonghao: a warrior appearing from nowhere d in full silver body armor. The elders present were all startled. No one had expected someone to actually dare stir up trouble in a meeting between the elders, let alone using an ability simr to teleportation. Qiu Yonghao was also greatly startled, but responded fast. He was fully certain that this person was none of the elders from the Warrior Temple, yet that person appeared right beside him, bringing a terrifying feeling of might to the whole assembly. Almost unconsciously, Qiu Yonghao riposted with his left hand, striking straight on the chest of the silver armored warrior that had just appeared. This punch was not to be underestimated: that strike drew in the air within a meters range, briefly covering that area in a near vacuum, and locked that silver armored warrior in ce, removing any avenue of escape. As a powerhouse of the ninth step, Qiu Yonghao had made huge progress thanks to the sword intent that Long Haochen had left behind. His movebined a great skill with great simplicity. That silver armored warrior didnt even avoid it, but confronted Qiu Yonghaos punch, aiming a punch too. Her hand wrapped in silverlight met Qiu Yonghaos hand as well. When the two parties struck each other, a fantastic scene came to sight. Qiu Yonghaos body trembled slightly, repelled one-third of a meter back. That silver-armored warriors shoulders swayed, drawing backward immediately. The miraculous thing was that even a sh at their level of power did not let out any leak of spiritual energy nor any huge explosion. After the two punches collided, no other changes followed. For a moment, the elders of the Warrior Temple all had shocked faces, shing out to surround that silver-armored warrior at once. The most shocked was naturally Qiu Yonghao himself, who couldnt possibly annihte any leak of spiritual energy. This was done by this silver-armored warrior: it looked like the opponent suffered a loss in the exchange, but she had still annihted all his spiritual energy, using the spatial attribute to cause it to vanish. Theres no way this warriors cultivation could be inferior to his. And furthermore, he was able to feel that the opponent had no ill intent from this exchange of blows. Qiu Yonghao raised his hand, nning to block the Warrior Temples elders present. Straightening his posture, he questioningly looked at the other warrior, having felt a kind of clear sense of familiarity in the previous sh. Who are you? Qiu Yonghao asked in a grave tone. The silver-armored warrior did not remove the equipped helmet, but calmly stood there without movement. However, the perspicacious people were able to see Qiu Yonghaos ear fluttering lightly, clearly from a sound transmission by this silver-armored warrior. Hearing this uninvited guests sound transmission, Qiu Yonghaos expression of shock intensified greatly. He suddenly waved his hand to the elders, The meeting is to be temporarily paused. I have a matter to talk with this warrior about. Everyone head back first, this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential. Saying that, he nodded to that silver-armored warrior, and headed out withrge strides. This suddenness shocked all the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple present here. From that armor, she really was a warrior, but was only slightly disadvantaged against Qiu Yonghaos blow, and moreover, she was clearly a master at using spatial abilities with great suddenness. For a moment, none of them were able to recall when such a powerful warrior could have risen up in their temple, and moreover, at the time she interrupted Qiu Yonghao, it could be heard from her voice that that was a girl. The silver-armored warrior followed Qiu Yonghao to a private room inside the Warrior Temples quarters of the Alliance. Qiu Yonghao closed the door, and a golden light dispersed from his body, condensing to form metallic lusters that covered every corner of the room. Using Spiritual Hignd to shut every possible awareness out of this room was only achievable by a powerhouse of Qiu Yonghaos level. Yuanyuan, is it really you? After Qiu Yonghaos use of Spiritual Higndpleted, he asked this with great impatience. Taking off her helmet, the silver warrior revealed a face of great beauty, with a look filled with great determination and calm, Wang Yanyuan reports to Temple Head. Right, the one who had suddenly broken inside the Warrior Temples meeting and interrupted Qiu Yonghao was Wang Yuanyuan who was supposedly missing for over four years. Although Qiu Yonghao became aware of her identity with the previous sound transmission, recognizing Wang Yuanyuans face still caused his body to shake in terrible excitement. Yuanyuan, you are finally back! Just where were you during these four years? Originally, Qiu Yonghao had felt unwell for a very long time after learning about Wang Yuanyuans disappearance alongside Long Haochen. Not only was she one of their people, but moreover she had a great talent and temperament. During the Holy War, Wang Yuanyuan had gained herself the title of Bloody Goddess of War; some of the powerhouses of the ninth step hadnt even necessarily contributed in the war as much as her. In the Southeastern Fort, the Bloody Goddess remained for a long while. At that time, Qiu Yonghao had already decided to train her well, and even prepare her as his future sessor. Maybe Wang Yuanyuans talent was notparable to Long Haochens, but Qiu Yonghao could tell that she was iparably resolute, and had an unwavering willpower. Such a determination would hardly be found in men, yet was found in Wang Yuanyuan. But regrettably, Wang Yuanyuan had followed Long Haochen in departing from Southeastern Fort without any second thoughts, rejecting all Qiu Yonghaos rmendations. Afterwards, no other news came of her. Qiu Yonghao had even obtained the information that Wang Yuanyuan was not the only one to have gone missing, but that the same went for their whole Demon Hunt Squad. This matter had shocked the highest higher-ups of the Temple Alliance for a very long time, after all, Long Haochens existence was really extraordinary in itself. The Alliances head Yang Haohan was greatly criticized for this matter by the other Temples heads, who condemned his decision of letting Long Haochen reform his Demon Hunt Squad. No one thought that after four years passed, Wang Yuanyuan would actually be back, and that her strength would actually progress to such an extent in four short years. Bowing deferentially, Wang Yuanyuans eyes dispersed a dazzling brilliance, Head, Im not the only one to be back. All myrades are also back. Qiu Yonghao became greatly surprised once again, Are you saying that Long Haochen and the others? Wang Yuanyuan nodded, Captain gave me a message to pass to Temple Head. With our status as a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, we want to challenge this Temples Great Gathering. If we manage to show a sufficient performance, we hope to gain the Warrior Temples support, and yours as well. Qiu Yonghao was slightly shocked, Are you saying that you want to take part as a Titled Demon Hunt Squad? Wang Yuanyuan replied, ording to the rules of the Temples Great Gathering, Titled Demon Hunt Squads, being groups that made extraordinary contributions, are qualified to participate independently in the Temples Great Gathering and gain full credits. If they can finish with a rank in the top three, they will be qualified to make the Alliance ept one of their terms. Qiu Yonghao wrinkled her eyebrows, Yuanyuan, you have been gone for so long, but want to directly take part in the Temples Great Gathering right after returning! Dont you know that this Temples Great Gathering has a very special meaning. Just what is Long Haochen nning? He understood very clearly that Long Haochen was the true core of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Chapter 668 - They are finally back (II)

Chapter 668: They are finally back (II)

Wang Yuanyuan smiled back, It is right because this Temples Great Gathering is really extraordinary that we want to take part. Head Qiu, are you willing to support us? Qiu Yonghao dered, Since you have alle to take part in the gathering, you should be aware of all the rules for the gathering. Even if you are a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, it is nearly impossible for your team to be strong enough to prove itself. Making it to the top three is all the more impossible. Long Haochen may have the Warrior Temples favor, but you are really making trouble on this one. I cannot support you by any means, and wont give you anymitment. I am saying this on behalf of the Warrior Temple. Wang Yuanyuans eyes shed radiantly, Then, what if we can take the first ce? If we ce above all Six Great Temples, would you be willing to support us? Qiu Yonghao was greatly shocked by hearing these wordse out from Wang Yuanyuans mouth with such an extreme confidence. He had just gotten to try out Wang Yuanyuans strength, and had been able to determine, with just a simple contact, that she should have already broken through the ninth step. Thinking of that, he couldnt help but show great rm. Right, Wang Yuanyuan was just the Warrior of the Bright Glimmer of Hope Demon Hunt Squad. Her cultivation having already attained the ninth step, what level could Long Haochens cultivation have attained? And moreover, they had previously destroyed demon god pirs. At this point, Qiu Yonghaos look warmed up greatly, Yuanyuan, just what are you guys trying to do? What are your goals? Head, we have only one goal. Thats to lead humankind to defeat demonkind. Qiu Yonghao shook his head, This is such an important topic and you broach it so suddenly. I am at a loss for how to even respond to you. Wang Yuanyuan nodded and replied, Let it be then. I believe that Captain will have the ability to convince you, as well as the higher-ups of all the other Six Great Temples. At the present time, strength is the most important factor in the resistance against demonkind. I am going, please keep secret the matter of our return. Qiu Yonghao responded, Yuanyuan, dont look down on the Temples Great Gathering. Maybe you made huge progresses in strength, but the trump cards of the Temples arent something a Demon Hunt Squad such as yours can resist. Wang Yuanyuan only smiled in response, I think that you will be very pleasantly surprised. Qiu Yonghao had a bitter smile, Actually, I dont want this pleasant surprise, because that would be even harder for me to ept. Although I dont believe you can win, if you can really manage this feat, our Warrior Temple will at least promise to be neutral. Wang Yuanyuan had a look of surprise; she was originally nning only to greet Qiu Yonghao and leave him with a deep impression before the start of the Temples Great Gathering. But she did not expect him to express his neutrality. The Warrior Temple being a faithful supporter of the Mage Temple, their neutral standpoint was extremely important in Long Haochens ns. As the head of the Warrior Temple, Yonghao was optimistic that Bright Glimmer of Hope wouldnt insist on recalling the favor Long Haochen formerly did the Warrior Temple. Individual favor was one thing, but a Temples benefit was another. His expression of neutrality was already a token of his support regarding Bright Glimmer of Hope. How old was Wang Yuanyuan this year? Below thirty! For how long had the Warrior Temple not gotten a powerhouse of the ninth step under thirty years old of age? And not only the Warrior Temple, the whole Alliance had not gotten such a young powerhouse for a really long time. Furthermore, he determined from Wang Yuanyuans speech that she was absolutely not the only one to have attained the ninth step in Bright Glimmer of Hope. Their confidence in participating in the Temples Great Gathering as a Demon Hunt Squad already resolved a lot of mysteries. Long Haochen being such an earth shattering genius, now that they were back after disappearing for over four years, their talents as well as their young ages foretold their future positions of cornerstones of the Six Great Temples with certainty. The initiative of the Warrior Temple was a head start for preparing future scenarios. Yet Qiu Yonghao didnt believe in the slightest that Bright Glimmer of Hope would make any showing in this Temples Great Gathering. Since things were like that, whats the deal with a little promise? A fierce argument was taking ce in the meeting taking ce in the Assassin Temple. Head Sheng Yue, I dont believe that we should still wholeheartedly support the Knight Temple. Dont tell me you cannot tell that the Knight Temple is already in decline? The one speaking was an elder with a slim build, an aged face covered with wrinkles, and a bald head. No matter how one looked, he already looked like someone with one foot in the grave, whod just fall over in front of a blowing gust. But his sharp look was as sharp and ice-cold as an eagle, visibly extremely resentful. Since ten years ago, the Knight Temple has not produced any new Divine Knights. Of their three Divine Knights, Yang Wenzhao will be unable to participate in this one due to being the present Alliances head. Long Xingyu has not evene, and what can just Long Tianying alone do? This Temples Great Gathering is really special and will determine the future path of the Alliance. Standing on the wrong side will very possibly cause a decline of the Alliance and greatly lower our position in the future Alliance. Although we also cannot take the exact opposite stance by supporting the Mage Temple, we should at least stay neutral and stop keeping the same position as in the past. Dont look down on this thin looking elder: his speech shook the whole conference room immediately. Sheng Yue sat on the first seat, and had a really heavy look. This was far from the only one of the elders from the Assasin Temple to raise an objection. He may be the head of the Assassin Temple, but these elders from their Temple were far more influential than the ones from other Temples, especially this one who just made his speech. That was the chief elder of the Assassin Temple, Xue Zichen, the most senior, and one generation older than Sheng Yue, as well as being the representative of the oldest generation of the Assassin Temple. In strength, he was in the top tier of the Assassin Temple, reaching the second rank of the ninth step, and was close to the third rank. Calling him the cornerstone of the Assassin Temple would be no exaggeration, and as the chief elder, plenty of people supported him. Right now, the expression of his point of view created a total plot shift in this conference. The higher-ups and greatest elders from the Assassin Temple made up a total of forty-one people, and at least half of them were swayed. Another elder continued, Old Xue is right. Our damage was very great in this Holy War four years ago, and the same goes for the Knight Temple. After such a long time, the Mage Temple and Spiritual Temple having sustained the least damage, their rise in power has been the quickest. And in this Alliances Great Gathering, I dont think they will be able to defend their crown. We must discard this Alliance, or else how will the other Temples view us after the birth of the new Alliance? We will not only lose a powerful ally, but moreover, we will be despised by all the other Temples. From another point of view, if the Knight Temple hadnt assisted us so wholeheartedly, how long do you think we would havested in the Holy War? Do you know how many souls of the loyal knights have been left in our walls? Dont tell me you want to abandon our benefactor like that? I have already decided that no matter whether the Knight Temple finally defends their crown or not, our Assassin Temple will keep supporting them with its all. Even if the Knight Temple finally loses, we will at least stand in solidarity. Demonkind is our target, not internal strife. I believe whoever rules over the new Alliance, they wont excessively oppress the other Temples. This was not the first time Sheng Yue had spoken these words, but the Assassin Temple still had yet toe to a unanimous reply. The Temples Great Gathering was nearing, so the choice of the Assassin Temple couldnt keep being dyed. They had toe to a final decision on this day, but the sound of opposition was still just as high. Of the Six Great Temples, the one with the least control was, without a doubt, Sheng Yue. That was due to historical reasons: after all, his teacher who used to be the previous head of the Assassin Temple had already, before dying many years ago, been contesting against Xue Zhisheng. Thepetitiveness between these two elders was very intense, and their gap in strength, very little. Now that Sheng Yue had lost his teachers support, his standing in the Assassin Temple was naturally not that great any longer. This was also why he had to ruthlessly make Caier integrate with the Spiritual Stove of Samsara back in those years. He hoped for his granddaughter to not be like him at the time when she would control the Assassin Temple. As the chief of the elders group, Xue Zisheng suggested, Since you are so obstinate, let us decide by vote then. As the Temple Head, your vote can count thrice, while mine as the chief of the elders can count twice. The minority shall follow the majority, so we wille to a conclusion today. Hearing all this, Sheng Yue felt his heart tighten. He understood that since Xue Zhisheng was suggesting such a course of action, he was already fully confident in having therge majority here supporting him. In case this decision came through, even the head of the Assassin Temple wouldnt be able to do anything about it, and this would also greatly damage his future authority as well. Since things hade to this, Sheng Yue was already unable to stop the voting taking ce in front of him. Out of rage, he clenched his hands tightly, looking grudglingly at Xue Zhisheng. The gloomy and cold-eyed Zhisheng gave no leeway. Despite growing very old, his authority in the Assassin Temple was still really massive. Chapter 669 - They are finally back (III)

Chapter 669: They are finally back (III)

Trantor: GravityTales In this oppressive atmosphere, which would possibly degenerate at anytime, a clear voice suddenly reverberated from all directions of the room, What use is there to vote. The reason why you are opposed to supporting the Knight Temple is only that they are not strong enough in your eyes. Then, lets decide on this decision based on strength as well. Whoever is the strongest should get to decide. These sounds were heard clearly by everyone present while the temperature in the whole room plummeted. There wasnt any murderous spirit, but an indescribable killing intent burst out in all directions. Although at least a half of the powerhouses present here reached the ninth step, in front of such a terrifying killing intent, everyone felt as if they had been wrapped around ice. Huh? Even Sheng Yue and Xue Zhengzhi were shocked. This sudden surge of killing intent was just too terrible. The Assassin Temple was expert in ughter, but right now, they had great feelings of shock when getting wrapped up in this killing intent. Just who was it that came? Of so many powerhouses there, none had even taken notice. And furthermore, this killing intent was clearly at the level of a domain! The powerhouses of the ninth step in the Assassin Temple were close to twenty, but of the ones really wielding a domain, including Sheng Yue and Xue Zhisheng, there were only a total of four. Exactly because they had domains of their own, theirprehension of domains was far deeper as well, enabling them to clearly identiy this cold surge of killing intent asing out from a domain of an even higher grade than theirs. That incorporeal pressure left them full of shock. A ck figure appeared noiselessly in the midst of the conference room, standing at the highest point of this seven meters tall room. d in a long ck skirt, she had long, deep purple hair draping all over her back and down to her feet. As her hair fluttered lightly, that cold killing intent kepting out from her body. A huge sickle was held in her right hand, dispersing deep blue and purple lusters. Although she was just floating at this spot, she felt like the center of the world. Everyone felt as if the terrifying killing intenting out from her body was entirely aimed at themselves, and no one dared act blindly, not even Xue Zhizheng, because none of them felt confident in taking a full-powered blow from her. Her face was of absolute beauty, but her eyes were deep and fathomless. Some white htions kepting out from her body at low intensity, but giving off an iparable feeling of nobility. An even more intense white htion came out from the midst of her chest, giving off a pure and holy presence. Seeing her appear, Sheng Yue suddenly felt his eyes bing really hazy in tears. He unconsciously loosened the tight grip on his chest, his body starting to shake uncontrobly. She was back, finally back! Caier Hearing Sheng Yues resounding call, the higher-ups of the Assassin Temple became full of shock. Almost all of them knew that Sheng Yue had a great-granddaughter who had carried on the Dagger of Samsara, but the ones who had seen Caier for real were really few. All they knew was that Caier had disappeared over four years ago. At that very moment, Caiers appearance in front of them gave off a great feeling of shock. _Could it be that she really managed to gain control over the might of the Dagger of Samsara?_ But just how old was she? Just in her twenties! Caiers deep look was directed at Zhao Zhisheng as she dered indifferently, Before deciding by vote, I challenge elder Xue in my capacity as the Saint Daughter of Samsara of the Assasin Temple. If I win, I will take over your status as elder chief of the Assassin Temple. And if you win At that point, she paused and suddenly showed a smile, a devastatingly beautiful smile that made everyone present sluggish, You wont be able to win, so no need to consider this eventuality. I am bringing everyone somewhere else, which should make it easier for elder Xue to show the best of his capability. At this point, she waved the Sickle of the God of Death, from which a translucent white ray came out and turned into a barrier, wrapping around everyone present. From there, a white brilliance came to view, causing their surroundings to look blurry. A spatial transportation which could actually transport such arge group of people! In arge sh of light, all the higher-ups from the Assassin Temple appeared in a bulding dispersing a white htion. The surroundings gave off an illusory feeling, and soft fluctuations of spiritual energy circted all around her. Those pure fluctuations with no elemental attribute were faint in intensity, but gave off a great feeling of might. The higher-ups from the Assassin Temple were all shocked. Caiers sudden return was originally a great shock, but her disy was beyond their knowledge. They did not know what she did to cause such a miraculous scene. This was clearly not inside Shengmo Dalu, but what was this ce? Could Caiers cultivation already be at the level to open up a whole new space? Xue Zhishengsplexion became extremely unsightly. His sight was firmly fixed onto the Sickle of the God of Death in Caiers hand. Out of everyone present, only he knew that the white rays dispersed from her weapon was light of purification, giving off pure palpitations. Xue Zhisheng knew about Sheng Yues great-granddaughter being the Saint Daughter of Samsara with extraordinary gifts, her innate internal spiritual energy surpassing ny. But from his view, even if Caier was still an important figure, she was in the end really young, to say nothing about how she was already missing for so long. Never did he expect Caier to appear at such a time, and moreover, from Sheng Yues expression, he could tell that even he didnt expect Caier toe out at such a time. Caiers look swept through each of the assassins present, Strength shall ount for everything. I challenge every one of you; whoever epts my challenge will have to give me his or her right to vote upon defeat. If you dont ept my challenge, I take it that you renounce on this right to vote. Xue Zhengzhi let out a cold snort, In what way are you qualified to do that, little girl. Caier let out an indifferent smile, I am part of the Assassin Temple, and strength is what qualifies me. Based on the rules of the Assassin Temple, reaching the ninth step of cultivation should make one an elder of the Temple. Hence I am already part of the elders group. Moreover, none of this matters to me. This is my world, so without my permission, none of you maye out. Whoever does not ept my rules may remain here forever. You... Xue Zhisheng agitatedly reacted in anger. Although Caier was disying a very rxed smile, her tyrannical speech enraged these old assassins. A little girl of twenty or so actually dared speak to them in such a manner. Sheng Yue, is this how you trained your great-granddaughter? Xue Zhengzhi shifted his focus on Sheng Yue. Sheng Yue was no longer as perturbed as he had been long ago, and showed an indifferent smile in response, Caier is my great-granddaughter, but shes also the treasure of our Assassin Temple. All of you should have heard that Caier had already started integrating the Spiritual Stove of Samsara at the age of three, gaining the approval of the Dagger of Samsara. You should all know how much pain and torment Caier had to experience to fuse with the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. Her six senses were lost in session, and she was left in a cold cave by herself at the age of three years old for a very long time. All of this was to make her stronger for the sake of our Assassin Temple. Maybe shes still young, but from how I see it, she sacrificed absolutely no less than anyone else present here for the sake of the Assassin Temple. Since she is finally back after over four years, now should be the time for me to resign from my leading post. Our next decisions to make are no longer only about our position in the Temples Great Gathering, but also, I have a proposal: to let Caier take over my duty to hold office as head of the Assassin Temple. Oh, theres also something else that I forgot to announce to you all. As early as five years ago, Caier already underwent her formal awakening as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, making her the one chosen by the God of Death. I believe that her capabilities as a gods chosen one should have already grown tremendously. Now should be the time to unify the Assassin Temple. Sheng Yues words gave off earth-shattering feelings to the whole audience. The one chosen by the God of Death taking over the Assassin Temple? This was a far more important matter for the Assassin Temple. Seeing the Sickle of the God of Death in Caiers hand, the looks in the eyes of some of them rxed gradually; perhaps the supporters of Xue Zhisheng were more numerous, but their standpoint was all in consideration for the Assassin Tmeple. As early as ten years ago, Sheng Yue had mentioned that, at the time Caier gained true control over the Dagger of Samsara and reached the ninth step of cultivation, she would get a unanimous support from their Temple. The former Scion of Samsara used to raise the Assasin Temple to the top of the Alliance, so why would the new Saint Daughter of Samsara not be able to do the same? Now that Caier was back, her cultivation having visibly also broken through the ninth step, as well as having a domain of her own, and furthermore, having the miraculous ability of spatial shifting, everyone here knew who would be the most fitted to lead the Assassin Temple. Most importantly, Caier was a little over twenty years old! The meaning of a powerhouse of the ninth step and inheritor of the Dagger of Samsara at this age was clear in all their eyes. Even if Caier had just risen to the ninth step, what if she would be given ten years? Everyone knew about Li Zhengzhis strength, but his innate internal spiritual energy was only at eighty. Being just a wind user at this level of cultivation, what woulde out ten yearster for Caier? At that time, would the Assassin Temple even need to attach themselves to someone else? It would rather be the others who woulde cling to them. Thinking of all this, the standpoints of the higher-ups present distinctly changed. Chapter 670 - Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (I)

Chapter 670: Caiers Domain of Purification (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Being the chief elder of the Assassin Temple, how could the experienced Xue Zhisheng not be able to tell out the changes on the others? Just as Caier had said, strength was the greatest factor of authority. Moreover, she wielded the symbolic Saint Dagger of Samsara, giving her an extreme importance inside the Assassin Temple. Adding Sheng Yues support of her to that, if this went on, his control over the elders would surely suffer a huge blow. The reason why Xue Zhisheng had such backing in the Assassin Temple naturally had its basis, stemming first of all from the consideration behind his decision for the Assassin Temple. At the same time, he had his own selfish motives. The head of the Mage Temple Li Zhengzhi had given him the promise that if he managed to get the Assassin Temple to remain neutral, after the new Alliance gets established, hed be given a high position in this new Alliance. Dont think that because of his old age, his thirst for authority would have lightened. Perhaps he was even more thirsty for the unobtainable. Right now, it looked that Sheng Yue and Caier were about to regain control of the situation, so he naturally wouldnt leave the matter at that. Snorting coldly, he suddenly let a huge st of imposing manner burst out from him, catching the attention of everyone present here. Very well. Then let this man try out, to see whether you are qualified to undertake the heavy responsabilities of the Saint Daughter of Samsara. If you win, I will unconditionally support all your future decisions, as well as be in favor of you recing Sheng Yue. But if you lose, stay secluded in our Temple for a few more years, and you can take duty in some high position after you gain sufficient strength. No matter what one may say, Xue Zhengzhi was a higher-up from the Assassin Temple. After a short time of fury, he gained some knowledge of Caier from Sheng Yues exnation. Of course, he understood that Caiers presence would very possibly make a new glorious future arise for the Asssassin Temple, so, right now, his speech was a lot lighter. Of course, he did not believe that the current Caier had enough capability, after all, she was still so young. His current hope was to gain control over the current Assassin Temple and gain a better standing in the new Alliance. As for the future, it should be left to the youngsters of Caiers generation. That is why Zhisheng decided to ept Caiers challenge and prove himself with strength, in order to maintain his support among these fickle assassins. Sheng Yue did not evenq take Xue Zhisheng in his eye, a light smileing in to view on his severe face. Thats because he knew that at the time Caier brought the Assassin Temples higher-ups there, Xue Zhisheng had already lost. He didnt lose in cultivation, but in age and future. Even if he didnt take part anymore, Caiers supporters would only keep growing more and more. As for this battle, no matter whether it ends as a win or a loss, Caier had already made a real impact on the people, making her control over the Assassin Temple only a matter of time. Xue Zhishengs figure sparkled slightly, then his figure disappeared, and the next instant he appeared at a distance of twenty meters from Caier. His awe-inspiring look was directed at her like a viper eyeing its prey, his hands ced behind his back and showing a unwavering face. Make your move then. As a powerhouse of higher generation, Xue Zhisheng was four generations ahead of Caier, so attacking the first was not something he could do. Caier responded with a light smile, Then you better take care. The Sickle of the Goddess of Light lightly paused on the ground, and the pure white light of purification spread to all directions, giving off a feeling of electricity hovering through the whole sky. Caiers Sickle of the Goddess of Light strucked under these circumstances. Right at the same time as Caier made her move, Xue Zhishengs body disappeared, leaving only light silver remnants behind. That was the highest powerhouse of the Assassin Temple, an assassin wielding space attribute, not someone who speaks casually, but one with real great strength. When Caiers blownded and gave off the feeling that she was in a disadvantageous position, a miraculous change took ce. The Sickle of the God of Death rapidly traced a shifting arc, and at the same time, Caiers whole body turned into a white color, and the Sickle of the God of Death had a huge de extension attached First of the seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood. _Dang._ A figure was pushed away in midair. At the same time that huge white de swept past the empty space, Xue Zhisheng fortunately appeared at its weakest spot. Having just crossed space through instant shift to face such a terrible blow, Xue Zhisheng was really pressured greatly as one may well imagine. The killing intent originally swarming out from Caier seemed to have disappeared, but the immense Sickle of the God of Death in her hand felt about to slice Xue Zhisheng A pair of silvery white daggers with an orange tint came to block off that white glow, as he took on a soul shock, dispersing rapidly his spatial spiritual energy, as his spiritual hignd unexpectedly got dispersed upon contact with that white de. Attribute suppression. That was the absolute suppression of the purification attribute in front of spatial attribute. Xue Zhisheng clearly felt that Caiers spiritual energy was below his to some extent, but under the attack of that huge white de, he saw with shock the bluish and purplish sickle follow him tightly while being sent flying, striking his pair of daggers fiercely. Relying on his pair of daggers of epic tier, Xue Zhicheng could parry the attack of the light of purification, but the instant they shed against the opponents weapon, Xue Zhicheng felt his body shiver like hed been electrocuted, finding out with shock that cracks were appearing lightning fast on his daggers. Although this attack was not enough to destroy the daggers of epic tier, what about the next one? His figure shing past, Xue Zhicheng disappeared once again, but Caier didnt pursue the attack, standing calmly on the same spot. A drizzling fog spread outwards, growing alongside lotus flowers petals. In the midst of these petals, she simply looked like a fairy. Everywhere those petals passed, a thin white fog was produced in the air, not dense enough to obstruct the field of vision, and not even acting on the senses, but this white fog gave off a feeling of terror hard to describe. The petals stopped after spreading out to a diameter of thirty meters, and didnt envelop the rest of the assassins. A domain! That was clearly a domain; the twenty or so years old Caier actually really managed to wield a domain of her own, and that was a domain with uses that no one was able to recognize. Domains were of different types, with nopletely identical ones. Common knowledge would generally want assassin domains to be expert in single targeted attacks, as assassins would usually be the strongest on a small scale. Caiers domain was also of rather small scale among assassins domains. But the smaller the scale, the greater the burst powering along. The unknown was the most terrifying. Precisely because no one understood the effects of Caiers domain, it gave off a feeling of reverence. Both Caiers currently disyed domain and the attack that sent off Xue Zhicheng were sufficient for her to prove her own strength to the higher-ups from the Assassin Temple more than enough. No matter how this fight would end, her backers would in no way be few. Sheng Yues smile became even more entuated. After being away for over four years, not only did Caiers strength grow to a shocking level, but even her temperament made enormous progress. She did not simply fight to win against Xue Zhicheng, but most all to make a show for further the higher-ups assassins approval of her. Right at this time, twelve brilliant silver gates appeared suddenly in the domain surrounding Caier, including even herself inside. This Twelve Spaces Domain was the domain of the Assassin Temples elders chief Xue Zhicheng, another domain fitting individual battles the most, a powerful domain of spatial attribute. While raised up, these twelve silver colored spatial gates immediately blocked off the view of the other assassins. By chance, this ce was tall enough for them to liberate spiritual wings of their own, rising high in the battlefield. Facing the Twelve Spaces Domain, Caier was still standing quietly in the middle and making no movements. These petals kept spreading outwards and releasing a white halo, as she seemed to be just calmly waiting. Suddenly, a silver ray instantly burst forth from the spatial gate, travelling too fast to be followed with ones eyes. As it shed, the opposite silver colored gate of light disappeared at once. The Twelve Spaces Domains greatest trait was its encirclement. Someone who gets caught inside this domain couldnt possibly escape without beating or getting beaten by Xue Zhisheng. It was called Twelve Spaces domain because of the twelve superpositioned spatial gates giving rise to this domain: twelve spaces ovepping each other should in normal times not be achievable by any means, but this domains spatial effects made this possible. In there, escaping through spatial abilities or even passing through space would not be possible either, It looked that these spaces had no floor, but actually, Caier was absolutely incapable of flight at the very moment. At the same time, Xue Zhishengs attacks would be greatly amplified by the effects of the domains oveps. Their speed as well as destructive power would reach terrifying levels. Ten years ago, Xue Zhisheng relied on the Twelve Spaces Domain to vanquish a demon god ranked in the top forty, giving a great boost to his reputation as well as making him known as the number one of the Assassin Temple. Right now, Caier and her domain with ineffable effects were all surrounded by the Twelve Spaces Domain, giving rise to a far from good situation. Chapter 671 - Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (II)

Chapter 671: Caiers Domain of Purification (II)

Trantor: GravityTales When the silver rays shed, Caier still stood there, unharmed, but the farsighted people could all see that when the silver rayunched its attack, Caiers body suddenly had an illusory look. All these rays pierced through her body, but when they disappeared, she came back to normal. That was obviously an extraordinary dodging technique. Xue Zhishengs Twelve Spaces Domains amplification may actually rank his speed at the number one in the Alliance, but Caier still managed to evade him through her dodging techniques. Who wouldnt be shocked by such a feat? Suddenly, the Sickle of the God of Death suddenly shed out in a direction, beforeing back to normal, the Twelve Spaces Domain remaining the same. No one could tell what she was doing. The only shocked one was the involved elder Xue Zhisheng. Caiers previous empty sh nearly caused him to splurt out blood, because her weapon shed at his second attacks trajectory. With his previous lesson, he now really didnt dare sh against the Sickle of the God of Death, for fear of getting his pair of epic tier daggers destroyed. So at the time Caier moved her Sickle of the God of Death, he suddenly shifted trajectory unconsciously and interrupted his own attacking motion. In fact, the Twelve Spaces Domain may give a great amplification to his attacking power, but his body would also be subjected to a great pressure. Suddenly stopping his course of attack immediately inflicted on him a severe bacsh, and this oldest elder from the Assassin Temple was far from young anymore. In their shes, Caier hadunched only one direct attack, but its whole process shocked Xue Zhisheng greatly. To say nothing about the degree of power of her attack or the tyrannical strength of the Sickle of the God of Death, the fact that Caier managed to urately predict his location went beyond this old mans understanding. Xue Zhisheng may not be the greatest powerhouse in the Alliance, but he was certain to be the greatest cultivator of the spatial attribute in the Alliance. He found no exnation as for how Caier managed to predict his own position. This should be impossible from his point of view, and immediately caused a loss of advantage on his side. Also, afterunching his first attack through his domain, he came to realize the fearfulness of Caiers domain. That peaceful looking lotus petal releasing domain had a horrifying side, even for someone of his level. His previous attacks speed was monstrous, but it had to pass through Caiers domain. Just by passing through, he felt the instant disappearance of one percent of the spiritual energy in his body. To some cultivator of a rather low level, a percent may not seem significant, but to a powerhouse with close to three hundred thousand spiritual energy, one percent was a loss of three thousand spiritual energy. And he had only passed through it for one instant. If he were to fight her in her domain for a long time, wouldnt his spiritual energy just get totally wiped dry? Furthermore, this purified spiritual energy was very possibly transferred to Caier. What a terrifying Domain of Purification. Right because of these discoveries, Xue Zhisheng temporarily remained passive. His attacks were unable tond on Caier, and he would get purified by her domain. What could he do in such a battle? Furthermore her offensive strength was really domineering. Xue Zhisheng had his hands tied for another reason, being that theres no way he could really harm Caier. After all, Caier was the future hope of the Assassin Temple. Even if his thirst for authority were to be even greater, he was after all a member of the Assassin Temple as well. That is why his techniques of assassination could in no way be used in this exchange with Caier. Feeling Xue Zhishengs silence, Caier made a move, revealing an indifferent smile. The Sickle of the God of Death was lightly waved in front of her, and immediately the petals on her domain curled up around its de. At a lift of her right hand, it turned into airflows on the tip of her de, shooting at the Twelve Spaces Domains gates. This attack of hers immediately caused the twelve gates to twist violently, turning arge amount of spatial spiritual energy into a barrier. This domainbining attack, defense and boost in one was really specialized for individual battles. He could proudly affirm that it ranked amongst the toppared to the overwhelming majority of other domains. But unfortunately, Xue Zhishengs current opponent was that Caier, whose Domain of Purification was a result of the evolution from the Sickle of the God of Death after purifying the Slumbering Cmity Elux, causing her understanding of purifying death energy to rise sharply. In some sense, that was the true power of the God of Death, so how could the Twelve Spaces Domain evenpare? The white de projection curling with silver light turned into nothingness, none of the twelve spatial gates having been destroyed, but Xue Zhisheng found out with shock that he had lost another hundredth of his spiritual energy. While maintaining ones domain, the user would have no way to absorb any external spatial essence for recovery, unless that domain had some absorptive properties. And the Twelve Spaces Domain clearly didnt have such an ability. Caier lightly strode forward, and immediately, the Domain of Purification advanced alongside her. The Twelve Spaces Domain followed with some distance to keep them under its encirclement. Visibly, Xue Zhisheng was absolutely unwilling to see his own domaine into contact with the Domain of Purification. All this while, Xue Zhisheng only had one winning strategy: to take advantage of the opponents consumption. The full use of a domain would hugely use up ones spiritual energy. From his previous judgement, Caiers cultivation was below his by quite a gap, and since the Domain of Purification was quite a bit more powerful than his Twelve Spaces domain, it would undoubtedly use up far more spiritual energy. By letting this go on, Caiers domain would be the first to need to be removed by her own initiative. That way he would win without need for a fight. And what if Caier would want to sh with his domain using her own? Xue Zhisheng was absolutely confident in his speed and ability to anticipate her actions. As for Caiers attacks, he only had to get out of their way. Xue Zhisheng held an absolute confidence in that Caiers consumption would speed up while using her domain for attack. Although his consumption wasrge as well, his advantage in cultivation had to be ounted for as well. Caier naturally saw through Xue Zhishengs tactic, and the spectators from the Assassin Temple watching from above did so as well. Her being able to force the elder chief to such a position, already gave them aplete approval of Caier deep inside. Without doubt, Caier was no weaker than Sheng Yue in cultivation, and being so young, the Assassin Temple would surely soar through new heights under her lead. But was Caiers strength limited to that? No, of course not. Everything that just happened was, in her eyes, just the start of her show. The Sickle of the God of Death was slowly lifted, as Caiers eyes turned gradually white, and the surrounding Domain of Purification bubbled up intensely, surrounding her body and wrapping her all around, making her looks unidentifiable from whichever direction. If the previous Domain of Purification was like an immense white flowery alley, this Domain of Purification was like a flower bud formed of the ovepping of all those lotus petals, with Caier acting as its stamen. _What is she nning?_ Including Xue Zhisheng, everyone raised this question deep inside. The next instant, an ineffable sense of crisis appeared straight into Xue Zhishengs mind, as he mobilized his own Twelve Spaces Domain. A gaudy silver light kept twirling, as the twelve gates abruptly changed stance, uniting as one while superposing each other. One could see that these superposed gates were surrounded by ck twists, which was a sign of an imminent spatial breakthrough. Everyone familiar with Xue Zhisheng knew that this elder chief was the most powerful when in this state. Through the superposition of the Twelve Spaces Domain, he was able to actually teleport at a long-distance of over a thousand kilometers, as well as raise his attacks to a terrifying level. The sense of crisis made Xue Zhisheng not dare show any more reservations. The white light of purification in front of his eyes suddenly weakened, as Caier reappeared in everyones line of sight. The Domain of Purification had disappeared, but in Caiers left hand had appeared a sparkling and translucent entity, an extremelypact white lotus flower. Caier dered brightly, Elder Xue, thats my domains Flourishing Lotus Flower. Want to try it out? However, my mastery of it is still insufficient. I canunch it but cannot stop it. No need, I concede. Xue Zhishengs darkened voice resounded. The silver light vanishing, he stepped out, moving away from the Twelve Spaces Domain, and directed an extremelyplex look to Caier. The Sickle of the God of Death in her hand moved rhythmically, releasing a great amount of white threads which passed through the lotus in her left hand, as the petals came off, quietly dissipating, the whole processsting close to half a hour. Xue Zhisheng as well as the rest of the assassins stood in front of Caier and confronted her silently. The rhythmic movements of the sickle in her hand looked really artistic, giving them an even greater realization of the terror induced by that flourishing lotus flower. Domains wielded by powerhouses of the ninth step also had different grades. Anyone reaching the second rank of the ninth step could wield a domain of his own, and the domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step could almost be called existences at a whole other level. Every individual would have a different domain, and its grade would determine future potential. The stronger the domain, the higher the future cultivating prospects would go, and that would also determine the feasibility of the domain itself evolving. The reason why Li Zhengzhi had convinced Xue Zhisheng was right because of his understanding of his own domain having gone to the extent of producing a Domain Technique. But just now, Caier actually used her own Domain Technique. A Domain Technique could be called a product of the domains evolution. And out of all domains, not even one percent percent could evolve and give rise to a Domain Technique. Chapter 672 - Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (III)

Chapter 672: Caiers Domain of Purification (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Maybe Caiersprehension of this Domain Ability was not strong enough, but her having one was already plenty. In the Assassin Temple, there had already been no powerhouse that couldprehend a Domain Ability for over a thousand years. It was not that Xue Zhisheng feared Caiers Domain Ability, but that her use of a Domain Ability already conquered him thoroughly. Being the elder chief of the Assassin Temple, he hade to his own choice. Seeing the Flourishing Lotus Flower finally dissipate in her hand, even Caier rxed greatly. Just as she said, she still did not have a full control of this Domain Ability, and had not yet even tried out its true might, having at most used it to intimidate Xue Zhisheng and no more. Seeing Caier retract her own domain, Xue Zhisheng retrieved his dagger before crossing his arms, bowing in front of her. This was the formal salute in the Assassin Temple. No one other than the Temple Head Sheng Yue should have qualifications to be saluted that way by him, but there would still be no need to bow. Right now, Xue Zhisheng could really be said to have gone past the limits of his own etiquette habits, making clear his current attitude. Sheng Yue had never been so lively for a lot of years already, especially since the steep decline of the Temple Alliances poption following the start of the Holy War. By chance, there was no damage sustained in the rear, which is what enabled the Alliance to recover its vigor in just four years. But even if their economy and power was replenished, their poption was still greatly affected, so the current Temple Alliance had to encourage pregnancy, as well as help improve the living conditions of the masses. Holy War, thergest city of the Temple Alliance, had its hotels packed since long ago, the reason being the decennial Temples Great Gathering. Although just a small count was really able to watch the Alliances Great Stadium, a lot of people were willing to head to Holy City at this time because of the ardent atmosphere. Some seniors would even bring their children to Holy City to try out seeking an opportunity to find a powerhouse for their children to acknowledge as master. The dark era was already some six thousand years ago. The two years of Holy War having finally ended up in a demon retreat, gave a lot of insightful people a hope to see dawne in this dark era. Almost all humans were hopeful to see the day that the human army would be the ones to lead the offense against demonkind. The Temples Great Gathering differed from the Demon Hunt Selection in their degree of importance, and the people who were rushing to buy tickets for the very goal of watching shes between the Six Great Temples powerhouses affirmed the confidence of the masses in the Alliance. Almost every Temples Great Gathering caused great surges of emotions in the whole Alliance, and drastically increased their amount of recruits in the following period. In Holy City, the most symbolic buildings had announcements had bright yellow announcements posted, recording in detail the times of the contests as well as rules for this Temples Great Gathering. Every Temples Great Gathering would involve such announcements, and amendments to the rules would immediately get published. Right, a white cloaked youngster was standing in front of a five-floored hotel, looking at it with attention. As early as one month ago, when the advertisements were first released, many of the ordinary people already got familiar with their content, which is why right now, he was only standing by himself in front of this announcement. The white cloak covered him entirely and gave off an eye-catching and lofty air. Even behind this cloak, this young mans very tall build was visible, as he really was close to two meters in size, with especially wide shoulders, though his build was not really excessively robust. His perfect build gave off a mystical feel as he stood calmly in ce. He had a seemingly ordinary, yet extraordinary gentle, disposition. Most of the bypassers gazes were attracted to this calm young man, causing them to feel peaceful and greatly rxed just by looking at him. On that clear-cut announcement were recorded the time and rules for this Temples Great Gathering. Tomorrow would be the day of start of the Temples Great Gathering. When the timees, the higher-ups from the Six Great Temples would all gather into the Alliances Great Stadium, each of the Temples dispatching a team of thirty-six people to participate, making up a total of two hundred sixteen contestants from the Six Great Temples. The Temples Great Gathering was determined first of all by drawing ballots. In the first three days one versus one battles would be ongoing, a three-day knockoutpetition. Each knockout battle would follow right after a previous one ends, with no time allocated for rest. Those from the Priest Temple wont be included in the individual knockout battles, they would be evaluated with another method in these individual stages: spiritual energy measuring. Generally, the Priest Temples points would be around the middle ranks by the end of this stage. In this stage, a point would be awarded to every one of the other five Temples candidates for a victory, two points for two victories, with a doubled amount of points for every additional individual victory. Great restrictive uses regted this individual stage. _First, no equipment or pill are to be allowed, and only the use of ones individual strength is allowed. Second, no situation of wounding the opponent allowed, and is penalized with a direct elimination._ This Temples Great Gathering being no struggle of life and death, these two rules looked simple, but were greatly restrictive. Just think, when all contestants would at least be powerhouses of the eighth step, what is the level of control required to absolutely avoid wounding any opponent? The individualpetition would terminate within three days, followed by sorting the points to conclude the primary stage of the Temples Great Gathering. The reason why this involved so many contestants was to assess the strength of every Temple as a whole, as a single persons strength was not enough to stand for his or her whole Temple. After the individual battles, would begin the contests for the highest spiritual energies. The Six Great Temples would all dispatch three candidates of age below a hundred years old to undergo spiritual energy assessment. Every year below a hundred would give an additional thousand points of score. The addition of these three candidates spiritual energies will make up their ranking, and the first ce Temple will be awarded with two hundred points, the second would receive one hundred fifty, third ce, one hundred twenty, fourth ce, ny, fifth ce, sixty, but none for thest one. After the end of the spiritual energypetition follows the Domain Competition, with each of the Six Great Temples sending three contestants. Then a domain confrontation, with eighteen domain wielding powerhouses fighting together. Whichever side cannot maintain his domain anymore will be excluded, until only three contestants from one Temple are left. This one is really important, as the first ce will be awarded five hundred total points, with every next one being awarded a hundred less, with thest one getting no reward. This kind of teampetition does not emphasize on domain power, but should best implicate threeplementary domains. Thats because the winner wont necessarily be the side with the greatest powerhouse, but the side of the best coordination. In the previous gathering, the Knight Temple had managed to win with thebinations of the domains of the Knight Temples Divine Knight of Defense and nning Yang Haohan, the Divine Knight of Control and Constraint Long Tianying, and the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial Long Xingyu, achieving victory in this most important stage, thus fundamentally settling the Knight Temple as number one. The Temples Great Gatheringsst trial would be the most significant team battle. Each Temple would send ten contestants to undergo a round-robin tournament, with each victory awarding a hundred total points. Among teams, the Priest Temple would not be participating, giving them a direct three hundred total. All four stages would be confrontation between the top of the Temple Alliances higher-ups. Generally, the least performing in the Temples Great Gathering would be the Priest Temple, but its importance still had no needs to be proved anymore. Anyway, a priest would visibly not be fitting as a ruler for the Temple Alliance. Aside from them, the others would all attach great importance to this ranking contest. The final ranking of the previous Temples Great Gathering had the Knight Temple in first ce, followed by the Mage Temple, Spiritual Temple, Assassin Temple, Priest Temple, and Warrior Temple. The Priest Temple, having been given some preferential treatment, ended up surpassing the Warrior Temple and gaining the fifth rank. The Warrior Temple would frequently be ranked among thest ones. This announcement was not at all corrted to any adjustment of the Alliance, but the individuals with deeper understanding all knew that the final ranking would determine crucial changes in the Alliance this year. So the contest for the first ce would surely be even more intense than the previous years. The white d young man was standing there for half an hour already, looking like a statue which didnt move in the slightest from the beginning. What looks so good in a mere announcement? A distinct voice suddenly rang behind him,ing from a girl d in a green gown. This girl was very beautiful, looking in her twenties, but gave off an aloof feel, and an impression of great pride making her unapproachable. Her green gown looked very simple and didnt give off any elemental fluctuation. As she appeared behind the young man d in white, an indescribable faint green light bubbled up from her, pushing this white d youngster forward. This female mage was Tan Wan, the sole disciple of the head of the Mage Temple, Li Zhengzhi. Over these four years, she kept training bitterly, and was fully directed by her master, making her one of the targets of the Mage Temples ressources, and causing her cultivation to have made great progress. Xuanyuan Yan who had formerly been standing alongside her had now fallen far behind. Her cultivation had already broken through the eighth step, and she had learnt some formidable original wind elemental spell from Li Zhengzhi, and was one of the Mage Temples representative for this Temples Great Gathering. Given her age, that was absolutely an enormous honor for her. Chapter 673 - Temples’ Great Gathering (I)

Chapter 673: Temples Great Gathering (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Tan Wan had already been in Holy City for some time. For the sake of making some contribution during this Temples Great Gathering, she recently made all out efforts. Thepetition being on the verge of starting on the next day, Li Zhengzhi urged her strongly to take a stroll and rx her senses. This is why she went out from the Alliances general headquarters. Just before, she identally caught sight of this white d young man standing in front of the announcement paper. With her sharp sense for magic fluctuations, she immediately discerned the extraordinary facet of this man. She had a very special feeling. Standing here, he looked human, but in her senses, this man was like a mass of light, a mass of very soft light, seemingly giving off no feelings of substance. That soft light gave off a great feeling of gentleness. Feeling very cozy, her tense feelings on the verge of thepetition were greatly rxed when looking at this young mans back. This was clearly not an ordinary person. The young mans special qualities greatly attracted Tan Wans attention; and she just came up to probe him for a bit. Without a doubt, this was certainly a light user powerhouse. From his simple clothes, that should not be a mage. So could it be a priest? A warrior, assassin or knight would surely not be releasing such soft elemental fluctuations. But what followed next shocked her greatly. The wind essence she released was not brutal at all, her goal being only to interrupt this white d young mans surges of serenity. Just by pushing him back just a bit, that peaceful feeling should be interrupted at once. But to Tan Wans shock, when her wind essence came in contact with that white d young mans back, it dispersed without a sound, turning into a breeze that revolved all around him, and rose up to fade away. That person clearly didnt do anything, so why did my wind essence obey his breath. His breath was all he had released, without the slightest transfer of spiritual energy! Tan Wan was full of iprehension, but even so, she only felt mystery from this man. Unconsciously, Tan Wan strode forward and closed the gap with him, patting that white-d young mans back. She had after all no evil intention, and didnt have any wind essence in her hand, but some spiritual energy was gathered in her palm. At her level of cultivation, she was able to release powerful magic without even any chant or incantation. But this time, that young man moved back. In a light sh, he shifted a meter away, causing Tan Wans palm tond in emptiness as he turned back. Long time no see, Tan Wan. This tall mans face came to Tan Wans sight just as he turned back. Then her body shook intensely, as her gaze became instantly glued to him. An exaggeratedly handsome face with golden hair draped behind his head, and a pair of golden eyes devoid of the slightest impurity. The warm smile on his face felt so pure, just like the aura dispersed from him. Right, they had not met for close to five years, during which he became even taller, and even more steady and mature. He had gained a quite stalwart look to rece the unripe features from five years ago. If Tan Wan were to describe his imposing manner, the only word toe to her mind would be perfect. _Its him! But how could it be? Wasnt he missing since long before?_ This handsome face was just too deeply engraved in Tan Wans memories. Wasnt it right for the sake of surpassing him one day that she had been cultivating so hard during the past four years? Seeing this missing boy reappear for real in front of her, Tan Wan felt her heartbeat visibly elerate. This man felt like light itself, an existence of incredible level in her mind. Salute Temple Head Li on my behalf. The white d young man nodded to Tan Wan, before leaving in an unhurried walk. Tan Wan just stood there, suddenly raising her head only after looking nk for several seconds, but that white figure had already disappearedpletely from sight. Is that him? Is that really him? Im not dreaming? Tan Wan muttered irresolutely. She had formerly imagined many times the scene of their next encounter. Wasnt it for the very objective of catching up to him she had been cultivating so assiduously? But seeing him again, she realized with a start that the gap between the two of them had only gotten evenrger. _Why is it that when I look at him, I have that same feeling of mystery as when I look at Teacher? Only, teachers feeling of depths is even more straightforward, while his feels just distant._ _If he has reallye back, then how about Teachers ns?_ Thinking so far, Tan Wan suddenly had a change of look, and ran in the opposite direction with almost no hesitation. A breeze was attached to her body, turning him into a green ray disappearing toward horizon. Morning. Dawn rose gradually, and an expanse of white towered over the deep blue sky. Holy City was already in a bustling state. All around the Alliances Great Stadium was an imprable crowd, aside from the few specialized entrances. But all around this stadium were ten projecting screens, broadcasting the stage of the Temples Great Gathering. The magical crystal projector was invented long ago, but was used very rarely, because its consumption was really massive. A magical crystal of the seventh step wouldst for only half an hour before being out of energy. The magical crystals of the ninth step would make itst longer, but inserting one in a magic projector would cause unredeemable damage to it. So in other words, maintaining the broadcast had cost ten magic crystals. And the hunt of magical beasts of the ninth step was nothing so easy! That was an astronomic fortune! These masses which had surrounded the Alliances Great Stadium were aiming at getting closer to the magic screens, to see as clearly as possible this marvellous once-in-ten-years event. For the sake of preserving the order in Holy City, the streams of people were separated, and close to twenty thousand practitioners were mobilized by the Six Great Temples to put order. But without a doubt, this being the location of the real event, almost everyone wished to watch from this area. There was quite some time before the first day of thepetition, but this area was already bustling since long ago. Some people even held various gambling events in private, some betting for the ordering of points umtion amongst the Six Great Temples, some betting for the number one in this round, and some betting for the final champion. Chapter 674 - Temples’ Great Gathering (II)

Chapter 674: Temples Great Gathering (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The Alliance could only turn a blind eye in this situation. After all, this was something they had no way to supervise perfectly. However, the Alliance would never set up their own gambling stalls, after all, the contest involved the Six Great Temples; doing that would surely cause them to be used of controlling the results. Todays weather was good, with thin clouds hovering over the sky, mostly covered in dark blue. As the sun rose, a cleansing feeling spread to the people. The rising sun illuminated the whole earth. Half an hourter, the six entrances of the stadium opened, and spectators started entering under a strict inspection. The spectators able to enter inside the Alliances Great Stadium had to either spend a lot of money, or had made enormous contribution for the Alliance. Two girlish figures rapidly attracted all the surrounding attention because they were just too beautiful. The girl d in a red gown had a fiery temper and enchanting looks, but very clear eyes; by her side was another girl wearing a white skirt, whose delicate purity made her appear just like a superior being. Wah, Ye Weiyang and Feng Linger! Someone recognized them. Right, these two absolute beauties were the current leaders of the Alliances Great Auction House, beautiful and possessing an enormous wealth and authority. But the most important point to a lot of male figures was that they were both unmarried! Immediately, the calls of their names resonated all around like great tides. Ye Weiyang had a smiling expression, waving at the surrounding masses without pause. But Feng Linger was a lot calmer, only advancing calmly. The two girls differences in temperaments gave them even greater poprity amongst the people, but, what a shame, these girls had powerhouses from the Six Great Temples on guard at their side. Breaking past them was totally impossible. When the two girls figures disappeared in the entrance of the stadium, the excited calls gradually calmed down. Spectators only had half an hour to enter the venue. Beingte was uneptable as the six entrances were reclosed very fast. The guards then became a lot stricter, because they knew that the real contestants were about to arrive. Right at this time, an odd group had appeared at the entrance of the Temples Great Gathering. Totalling ten, they were all d inrge cloaks, and had even their faces concealed, as they directly made their way inside the Knight Stadium. The person in charge of guarding the entrance was a knight of the eighth step d in Mythril Foundation Armor. Seeing the groupe over, he couldnt help but wrinkle his brows. What were the ones guarding the entrances doing? It was already past the right time, yet they were actually allowed to enter. With a wave of his hand, he intercepted these people, but very rapidly understood why they were allowed to pass. A brilliant insignia appeared right in front of his eyes. The Mythril Foundation Knight beat his chest with his right fist, resonantly performing a standard knight salute, and actually making an exception by opening the door to let them enter. A lot of people saw this scene, but they didnt think about it too much. In their eyes, they were clearly some people from the Knight Temple. After this small episode, a truly stirring event took ce. Six teams appeared from six different passages. These were thirty-six knights, thirty-six mages, thirty-six assassins, thirty-six warriors, thirty-six summoners, and thirty-six priests, all of whom entered simultaneously from all entrances of the stadium. They were all d in equipment symbolizing their own Temples. The highest target of attention was from the Knight Temple: the one leading them had a tall build, his azure armor dispersing iparable auras of mightiness. That was the armor transformed from the Divine Throne of Order and Law! Behind him was a row of Golden Foundation Armored Knights, whose golden-bright and dazzling sight dazzled the peoples eyes. The contestants from the Knight Temple hade: Divine Knight Long Tianying and the thirty-five Golden Foundation Knights under his lead. These were the true greatest forces of the Knight Temple. The Golden Foundation Knights at the front even dispersed orange glints of the epic tier. For a moment, the peoples cheers rose to a peak. How many times in their lives would they be able to see so many divine tools and equipment of epic and legendary tier? How could they not be excited? Cheers could be heard on every corner of Holy City. Powerhouses of the Six Great Temples were entering the Alliances Great Stadium, and the Temples Great Gathering was finally about to start. Inside the Alliances Great Stadium. This was totally different from the Demon Hunt Competition. At the time of thetter, the inside of the stadium was divided into three areas, each of which was assigned to a Temple. But these divided areas were now totally united as one, the huge stadiums inside linked into a single one immense field. Everyone that entered was surely a shocking figure. In the six directions were six honored guest lounges. They were elevated highly, and could all look down on the stage from a height. Dont think that this is just an area for spectators: the guests in here were either powerhouses or great figures in the Alliances bnce of power. And they were shouldering an important mission: to establish a defensive barrier covering the whole Alliances Great Stadium through a magic array on the guests lounge. Contestants in the Temples Great Gathering were all powerhouses of the eighth step. What terrifying level would the spiritual energy fluctuations produced during their shes reach? Without a sufficiently powerful defensive barrier, this stadium would already be wrecked in just a few matches. Except from the ones in the honored guests lounge, the rest was only contestants in their resting areas. After the thirty-six people in each Temple entered, they returned to their own area to wait for the formal start of the Temples Great Gathering. The Six Great Temples contestants have all entered the stadium. Director referee, please give your instructions. A vigorous and energetic voice resounded through the stage on the side of the Knight Temple. Immediately, a vigorous voice sounded out, Close the doors. Until the contests terminate, no one will be allowed to go through. Yes! Along with these sonorous sounds of collisions, the six gates closed slowly guarded by powerhouses of the eighth step from each Temple. A voice full of august spread out, I am Chen Zidian, referee for this years Temples Great Gathering. This year, fifty-four Demon Hunters will be acting as referees, ensuring fairness and equitability. The rules have been announced long ago, so I dont have much more to say. Let the lots drawing ceremony start for the first stage, the individualpetition. Chen Zidian, human legend and captain of the Demon God yers Demon Hunt Squad. Chapter 675 - Bright Glimmer of Hope taking part in the competition! (I)

Chapter 675: Bright Glimmer of Hope taking part in thepetition! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales When the name of Chen Zidian was heard in the Alliances Great Stadium, all contestants from the Six Great Temples stood up and made their salutations towards the Knight Temples guest lounge. The Demon Hunt Squad Demon God yers was the true pinnacle of human Demon Hunt Squads. Chen Zidian was their captain, who had led his Demon God yers all over the continent and greatly impeded the Demon God Emperor with the sheer strength of their Demon Hunt Squad. Their contribution to the Alliance was already beyond measure with contribution points. For these human legends to appear there as referees of this gathering was something absolutely no one dared raisedints about. In fact, even now, the other members of the Demon God yers were still in demon territory, hidden beneath the surface of Modu to keep watch over the Demon God Emperors activities. On the side of the Mage Temple, Li Zhengzhi had a very sinister look. He naturally wouldnt have dared raise anyints toward Chen Zidian, not on the basis of strength, but on the basis of sheer respect. Chen Zidian was possibly the elder with highest seniority in the whole Temple Alliance, so no one could raise aint at his holding the governmental office, and furthermore, he would surely raise a fair and just judgement. What caused Li Zhengzhisplexion to look unsightly was that, yesterday, he heard from Tan Wan a name that should not affect him, but was really affecting his feelings. He was back. Four years ago he was already at the eighth step. So, could he already be a fourth Divine Knight for the Knight Temple? If this was for real, that would add a terrible variable to this Temples Great Gathering. After all, at his age, he really had the best chance to rally supporters. The aged ones of the Knight Temple would surely be glowing with vitality because of hising back. Right now, the Six Great Temples contestants were all seated in their respective seats, about to draw lots for selecting their opponent. The non-participation of the Priest Temple made the other hundred and eighty powerhouses from the other five Temples the only ones needing to participate in the drawing and contests. In a bit, the contestants woulde to light, and undergo a selection. Every chosen two would immediately have their match under the powerful Demon Hunters watch. Demon Hunters could be called part of an independent system. Their great strength and enormous contributions to the Alliance made them the best possible referees. Such a pick would guarantee fairness; no one should ever y tricks in such a ce. Before the contest starts, I have a matter to announce. Chen Zidians voice resounded once again. Hearing him, the overwhelming majority of the higher-ups of the Alliance were in states of shock, including the participating ones, because they didnt hear about such an announcement beforehand at all. Chen Zidian dered, Based on the ruling of the Temples Great Gathering, any titled Demon Hunt Squad should be qualified to participate in the gathering under their squad name, and have their total points counted as well. I have received the application of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. They will be participating in this gathering; based on the rules, I have given my eptance to that. In a bit, they will being for the drawing of lots. This revtion raised a greatmotion amongst the higher-ups form the Six Great Temples. A Demon Hunt Squad wanting to participate in the gathering? None of them had ever seen such a situation happen in their lives. Over the past thousand years, it had happened only twice or thrice at most. A Demon Hunt Squad participating there would at most be here for the sake of training, after all, even if a Titled Demon Hunt Squad had some privileges, they were in the end limited in their numbers. How could there be a Demon Hunt Squad wanting to participate in this Temples Great Gathering? Were thy only here to polish their training? And in the Temple Alliance, the Titled Demon Hunt Squads were only just a few. So just which one was taking part? Chen Zidian continued, For the sake of reaching the minimum team count formally eptable, this Demon Hunt Squad was specially allowed to wee other Demon Hunters, reaching the total count of ten, and none of their member exceed a hundred years of age, as per the rules. This Demon Hunt Squads name is Bright Glimmer of Hope. A bright glownded upon the Knight Temples lounge, shining in the area right between the knights and assassins resting areas. At some point, ten people had calmly appeared, all d inrge white gowns and wearing helmets. Only when this golden illumination shone upon them did the contestants and spectators take notice of them. Outside from the Alliances Great stadium, the people around the entrance of the Knight Stadium realized immediately that these ten were actually those ones they saw arrive after the rest. They were actually Demon Hunters, and not people from the Knight Temple. Right, they were back after going through four years of secluded training. Bright Glimmer of Hope was back and standing there, about to take part in this Temples Great Gathering. Bright Glimmer of Hope. This name was obscure to the overwhelming majority of the crowd. To say nothing about the masses, even among the higher-ups of the Six Great Temples, the ones aware of this name were just a few. Hearing Chen Zidians announcement, the most most shocked was the head of the Mage Temple, Li Zhengzhi. Never did he expect Long Haochen to actually choose not to participate the Temples Great Gathering on the side of the Knight Temple, but under his Demon Hunt Squads name. Just what was he nning? Could it be that he really believed their nameless Titled Demon Hunt Squad to be able to contend with the Temples? Chen Zidian continued, I swear on my honor as a Demon Hunter that Bright Glimmer of Hopes participation wont give rise to any discrimination. May the ballot drawings start. Two white glows abruptly appeared on top of the dome, and in the meantime, a multicolored light slowly shone upon the surroundings of the stadium, spreading a defensive barrier. This barrier was constructed through the work of a lot of powerhouses, and was able to even withstone divine tools or domains bombardment without getting destroyed. The main controller of the whole defensive barrier was Chen Zidian himself! Two white rays flickered intensely, and the next moment, they suddenly stopped, and in two directions, each shone on a person. How coincidental, these two rays shone upon the Knight Temple and Mage Temples areas. Two figures immediately came out and got inside the great stadium. The first battle of the Temples Great Gathering would start, and the judges were all on the lounges. They only focused on maintaining the barrier, and had no specialist about to enter the stadium. How could the powerhouses able to participate in the Temples Great Gathering not be able to determine a winner by themselves? If the two parties really were extremely close in strength, Chen Zidian would be the one to personally determine a winner and a loser. Since there were a whole one hundred ny contestants, they naturally wouldnt waste time, and the instant the contestants entered the field, thepetition would start. Requiring at least the eighth step of cultivation, practitioners of weaker cultivation were already sorted out. So apart from the Priest Temple, none of the other five great Temples would get any extra restriction or help. After entering the Temples Great Stadium, all participating knights had long since put away their armors, and were entering the field with only their bare fists. A small door would open itself for every selected candidate. As the first knight entered the stage, his back glinted with golden hexagram patterns, carrying a mighty roar as a glistening savage tiger came out. The figure of the knight shed, cing himself on the tigers back, and swiftly charged at the distant mage. That savage tiger had a pair of wings on its back, extending out over five meters, and had a bulky build. Opening its mouth agape, itunched a series of explosive projectiles at the mage. A Holy Saint Tiger, magical beast of the ninth rank. Knights qualified to wear a Golden Foundation Armor were all, without exception, excellent figures in the Knight Temple. One of their great trumps was the strength of every suchpetitor. In the first match, the Knight Temple was already showing great prospects, their first knight on stage reached the peak of the eighth step in cultivation, at just one step from the ninth step. His opponent was a fire mage. Because no equipment could be used in thepetition, thetter did not even have a magic staff. His right arm swiftly drewplex symbols in the emptiness, and with massive roars, a me bear came out from there, shooting its paws to destroy the light projectiles, and rapidly strode towards the knight. This was not a summoners summoning magic, because the resulting magical beast was an elemental beast condensed of fire. Elemental beast summon was a special capability useable in the eighth step. Capable of great bursts of power, the only shoring being the rtively high cost of spiritual energy. Sheltered from danger by the fire bear, that fire mage rapidlypleted a chant. Even without support from equipment, that was a mage reaching the peak of the eighth step, able tounch powerful magic on the premise of spending enough time chanting. The mage made his move, standing on the side of the fire bear and Holy Saint Tiger. That knight made an outstanding following move: not letting himself get entangled with the fire bear, he bowed toward the Holy Saint Tigers back, shooting forward the next instant. The golden spiritual wings on his back lit up, and in his right hand, a shy Holy Sword took shape. Diving face down, it aimed straight at the mage, as the me bear confronted the Holy Saint Tiger. At the same level, a mages offensive power was undoubtedly the greatest. So the first thing needed to defeat a mage would be to seal his magic, and to avoid by any means letting an all-out magic assault be carried out. Otherwise, one would hardly avoid getting defeated by the torrential magic attacks. The choice of the Saint Knight of the eighth step was undoubtedly the best, but the Magic Tutor of the eighth step was at no disadvantage either. A mighty holy sword came out, as his body suddenly turned illusory. At a lift of his right hand, pointed to the sky, the knight of the eighth step met a me-colored glint. Chapter 676 - Bright Glimmer of Hope taking part in the competition! (II)

Chapter 676: Bright Glimmer of Hope taking part in thepetition! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Vulcans Finger! And in a situation with no boosting equipment at disposal. For him to unexpectedlyunch such a powerful spell of the eighth step so rapidly was a shocking token of strength The knight held a Holy Sword in both his hands, shining in a pure holy light, and giving him a sacred holy feel. He did not avoid, nor did he shrink down, but faced Vulcans Finger head on. Thats because this knight knew very well that should he retreat in defense, the following course of action would lock him into a passive position. At that point, making aeback would be close to impossible. Gold and red intertwined in the air, the Holy Knight beingpletely shrouded in ming light. No one could deny that the knight and mage had a gap in the offensive field. The former let out a groan, some traces of scorch remaining on his body. But although the knight suffered a loss in this sh, his goal was reached. Vulcans Finger was not enough to keep him away, and in a sh of golden light his speed went straight up, reaching the front of the mage in a split instant. That was the knight ability of the eighth step, Lightning sh, as well as one of the most effective techniques against a mage. When used from such a distance, a mage would hardly block the iing offense. Trial! The knight shouted out, a thunderous bellow shaking the whole stage. A pure white glow came out from nowhere,nding right onto the opposite mage. A brilliance surrounded the opposite mage, taking the shape of a crystal sculpture-like red barrier. Approached by the knight, this situation was visibly nothing a mage would wish to face. The Magic Tutors right hand was stretched in front of his chest, executing a defensive spell resisting the might of Light of Trial. Then his right hand pushed forward, condensing a ball that came striking the Holy Knight. After reaching the eighth step of cultivation, a mage wouldnt be so weak in close quarters range anymore because they had a lot of defensive measures and even instant magic at their disposal. In a prepared face-off, they did not stand no chance at all. But how could the Holy Knight let him draw back after having finally drawn close, right in front of him? Stamping the ground with his right feet, he suddenly divided the Holy Sword in his hand in two. His body forcibly made way into those mes. A warped radiance lit up, dispersing the intense mes to all directions instantly. Elemental Obliterating Halo. Under consecutive attacks, this Holy Knight still managed to consecutively deploy Light of Trial and Elemental Obliterating Halo. That was a real knight! Even without having reached the ninth step, how could he have so swiftly unleashed such powerful techniques? Right at this time, a victor seemed to havee out of the sh between the Fire Bear and Holy Sacred Tiger. The Fire Bear being a type of summon in the end, although it held an advantage at the beginning, as its summoner was assailed under the frantic offense of the Holy Knight, he couldnt receive anymand, and was in the end crushed by the Holy Saint Tiger. The battle reached a white hot state at this instant. The instant the Holy Knight fractured the me cage, this match was already left without suspense. A destorm abruptly shot forth, released by the two waved swords, and a huge golden projectile carrying a sword intent of iparable might shed against the defenses of the Magic Tutor, directly sending him flying. In the process of flying out, Light of Trial finally matched with destorm to break past his defense. The battle is over. Its the knights win. Return to your respective seats. Chen Zidians august-filled voice reverberated. The mage did not sustain any wound, but had an awkward look. He indeed had just lost, because destorms true might didnt reside in its burst power, but in its absorption power and prolonged attacks. If this Retribution Knight hadnt been lenient, his life would have ended under destorms effect. A bright light had started shining upon the knights shoulder at some point, the Holy Knight knocked his right fist on his chest and performed a knight salute toward the mage, before returning to his own seat. The Saint Magic Tutor having seen the shine on his shoulder immediately came to the realization that his loss was no grievance at all! This guy actually had a light fairy. Seeing that fairys volume, it should have evolved once. No wonder he could keep using knight abilities in such short session. The first battle came to a closure, but the tournament did not stop at that at all. The previous two lights of selection returned in midair, and light flickered swiftly to choose the contestant for the second battle. Time pressed so there was no affordable dy. The tournament naturally had to follow its course. The two opponents in this battle could see that the seat of the Saint Magic Tutor had darkened a bit, showing his elimination from the knockout battles, while the Holy Knight had a bright shine appear above his head to indicate his victory in the first battle. The Alliances Great Stadium was really miraculous. These fantastic scenes features were brought by many years of research by the Temple Alliance. The rest went even more intensely. Powerhouses from the five Temples involved were illuminated in session, and seven battles went in the brink of an eye. Of the five Great Temples, the Knight Temple was the best ranked one yet, having had three people selected, all of whom had achieved victory. The Warrior Temple had the most participation yet, five matches, but four of them ended up in losses, making them a stepping stone for the other Temples as of now. But this was just the beginning. As the individual battles involved a hundred and ny people, the first stage would need to have ny-five matches going, and they were not at a tenth yet. The rest of the battles would only go even more intensely. The light of selection would try as far as possible to separate the five great temples so to avoid forcing them into mutual destruction. The same would go for the individualpetition, unless members of a certain Temple would already be therge majority of the constituents in a certain stage, matches between members of the same temple wont easily ur. The eighth rounds selection lights flickered, rapidly illuminating the Assassin Temples camp, as well as uratelynding upon the camp of Bright Glimmer of Hope, picking the third one from the left among them. Because those from Bright Glimmer of Hopes side didnt have a reserved entrance, they had to pass through the gate of the Knight Temple to enter the stadium. The Assassin Temples area was very close to the Knight Temple. Right upon entering the stage, the chosen assassin immediately entered the state of invisibility. In the seven battles that had already gone on, the Knight Temple had achieved three victories, and the other four Temples had achieved one victory each. Only, the Warrior Temple was in disadvantage due to having already had five people picked. This was the second contestant from the Assassin Temple, the previous one having achieved victory. This assassin powerhouse was really brimming with confidence. Before entering the stadium, that Demon Hunter from Bright Glimmer of Hope had to remove his gown, exposing his inner clothing, as well as proving he had no other piece of equipment. Seeing his looks, the masses from outside as well as the ones on stage all couldnt help but cry out in rm, because this Demon Hunter from Bright Glimmer of Hope was really too young. This knight looked in his thirties, with bright eyes, and a handsome, resolute face, Over half of the Golden Foundation Knights from the Knight Temple recognized him. Seeing him appear, someone couldnt help but breathe out in low voice, Wenzhao, thats Wenzhao! Wasnt he supposed to be missing for very long? So he actually became part of the Demon Hunt Squad named Bright Glimmer of Hope? Right, the first one to take up weapons on Bright Glimmer of Hopes side was Yang Wenzhao. Compared to four years ago, he became far more steady. He originally had a steady, though arrogant to the bone, character. But right now, he appeared like a piece of jade, peaceful and gentle. Having none of his previous sharpness left, his steady atmosphere actually caused the Golden Foundation Armored Knights to exim in admiration. Straddling forward, Yang Wenzhao entered the stadium, and a miraculous scene followed, releasing a golden htion under his feet and outwards. Holy Mantle? Almost all knights recognized this ability. But Holy Mantle was really low ranked amongst knight abilities. Did he actually really use it in the Temples Great Gathering? Being only thirty years old this year, Yang Wenzhaos participation in the great gathering was greatly shocking, but using this ability right aftering up gave chills to the people from the Knight Temple. Although he was not standing for the Knight Temple right now, no one could deny that Yang Wenzhao was Yang Haohans grandson! Because Yang Haohan already shouldered the burden of being the Alliances head, he was unable to participate in this gathering, so in some sense, Yang Wenzhao was standing for his grandfather in the powerful knights eyes. No matter with which status he would participate, the higher-ups from the Knight Temple were naturally unwilling to see him lose. When Yang Wenzhaos Holy Mantle was released, they very rapidly realized that it wasnt that simple, because it was really released on an exaggeratedly massive scale. With Yang Wenzhaos body as center, Holy Mantles bright shine spread outwards rapidly, and reached a diameter of thirty meters in the blink of an eye. In the meantime, Yang Wenzhao waved his hands on the two sides of his body, which radiated with two rays of light, and released two Holy Swords. These Holy Swords dispersed metallic glosses filled with the power of Spiritual Hignd. But, Spiritual Hignd, at the eighth step? And to condense Spiritual Hignd into a de would require one to reach the peak of the eighth step. And seeing Yang Wenzhaos rxed look, his consumption seemed very little. A spotlessly white Holy Sword dispersed a thin golden color, as Yang Wenzhaos whole body went into a bizarre state. His right feet straddled forward, causing his body to float in midair, and a pair of wide golden spiritual wings spread out from his back. His eyes then lit up in red, slowly sweeping through the stadium. Chapter 677 - Bright Glimmer of Hope Takes Part in the Competition (III)

Chapter 677: Bright Glimmer of Hope Takes Part in the Competition (III)

Such a young knight at the peak of the eighth step of cultivation? Without a doubt, Yang Wenzhaos appearance shocked the whole audience, especially those from the other Temples to whom he served as a great deterrent. Who said the Knight Temple was getting senile? To nurture such a young Saint Knight, one may well imagine that before long, Yang Wenzhao would inevitably break through the ninth step, and maybe possibly be a Divine Knight of the younger generation. Holy Mantles effects could be anticipated by any perspicacious person. It aimed at searching for traces of the assassin: after entering the state of invisibility, an assassin would immediately be visible aftering in contact with any trace of spiritual energy, and Yang Wenzhaos Holy Mantle reached such a scale that in case the assassin wanted toe over, he would certainly have the time to respond. Not only that, but the red light in Wenzhaos eyes was clearly a knights Lock ability. In a way, a knight is the nemesis of an assassin. In case he is Locked by the knight, an assassin can then only choose to face him in a direct sh. That assassin was steady and experienced enough to show patience, and kept himself hidden rather than going on the offense. After the six stadiums were merged as one, the whole field became extremely wide. Although Yang Wenzhaos Holy Mantle reached arge scale, the ground extending in the stadium was really wide. So, in his view, as long as he would not take the initiative to attack the opponent, Yang Wenzhao would have no way to find him. Compared to his current state of invisibility, the simultaneous release of Spiritual Hignd, Holy Mantle and Lock would surely make Yang Wenzhaos consumption of spiritual energy far higher. Maybe this battle would be prolonged, but the Assassin Emperor of the eighth step hidden in the darkness was certain to be able to achieve victory in this battle. Right as the Assassin Emperor was done thinking about his countermeasure, Yang Wenzhao made a move, silently standing there as an intense golden fog rose above his body. Storing Power. Back then, quite a few people had suffered losses against Long Haochens Storing Power ability at the time of the Demon Hunt Selection. Yang Wenzhao just mechanically copied his strategy. But, perhaps only the others from Bright Glimmer of Hope understood his way of thinking. The other contestants did not understand why Yang Wenzhao would do such a thing. The Storing Power ability would certainly increase his offensive power to a great extent, but whats the use if no target can be found? Wont it only deplete his spiritual energy? Seated on a higher seat of the Knight Temples area, the corners of Long Tianyings mouth traced a thin smile, This kid Wenzhao has really been missing for too long, so a lot of people have already forgotten about his abilities of specialization. It looks that he will really give everyone a pleasant surprise. That Assassin Emperor facing Yang Wenzhao was also full of questions.?This young knight is using Storing Power. Could it be to draw me out? Thats just wishful thinking. Could it be that he doesnt understand that its a battle of wits? How could such a mistake stand? The Assassin Emperor coldly remained hidden, and didnt even move an inch from his ce of seclusion. He really wanted to see what Yang Wenzhao was nning to do after using this Storing Power. From the start of the individual battles, that was the first time such an awkward situation was taking ce. But a lot of people understood that, in such a situation, the oue would be decided right when one of them would make the first move. If Yang Wenzhao managed to find his opponent, at his peak of the eighth step and under the effects of Storing Power, that assassin also reaching the eighth step would be unable to avoid defeat. But conversely, if Yang Wenzhao couldnt make this move decisive, that would give the Assassin Emperor a chance to reduce his chances to naught. Yang Wenzhaos Storing Power didntst for too long a time, and at some point a deep green gloss had appeared on his chest, only remaining indistinct under the concealment of his intense light elemental spiritual energy. It could only be found out under careful watch. After this green ray appeared, a bizarre green radiance was shot out from Yang Wenzhaos chest, emerging in front of him to sweep forward. To ones shock, this green light kept getting deeper and deeper even after reaching the defensive barrier of the Alliances Great Stadium, without shing at all with that defensive barrier. Whats this ability? Did it really disregard the barrier? Very rapidly, everyone realized what this ability was. Long Haochens Storing Power ended, and his body made a slight turn as the green radiance that came out from his chest swept through the whole battlefield. That concealed assassin was immediately lit in green light upon being scanned, and a red glintnded upon his body. It was a knights Lock. pping the wings on his back, Yang Wenzhao became like a golden lion, using Lightning sh to hit head on. When his powerful holy light illuminated that assassin, Yang Wenzhaos swords under the effects of Spiritual Hignd aimed at the assassins two sides, as heunched Holy Knock to knock the opponent ahead, shing against the barrier before being knocked back. If the assassin had chosen to attack head on, maybe he would have a chance, but after letting Yang Wenzhaoplete such a Storing Power, those dual sword strikes would inevitably have caused death if they had struck. I have lost. Dering these words with difficulty, this aged Assassin Emperor felt like pounding himself to death using tofu. Losing the battle was not shameful, but losing without even disying any of his own strength was really a shameful thing. He had visibly been deceived by Yang Wenzhaos young age, and did not expect that Yang Wenzhao could maybe have a powerful spiritual stove with probing abilities. This was the spiritual stove that he had acquired after Long Haochen renounced it. Although this was not a spiritual stove with any attached offensive or defensive abilities, it was an innate nemesis for assassins. Yang Wenzhao had been relying on this Spiritual Stove back then to obtain quite considerable results. But what a shame that he finally had to meet with the Dragon Rider Demon God. Since he was gone for such a long time, those remembering about such a spiritual stove under his possession were rarer and rarer. Even in the Knight Temple, just a few still knew about it, to say nothing about this previous assassin. As the firstpetitor on Bright Glimmer of Hopes side, Yang Wenzhaos good beginning was appreciable. Seeing him withdraw from the field to return to Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks, the corners of Li Zhengzhi traced a downward arc. He understood very clearly that this Bright Glimmer of Hope team had already two knights in itself. Of course, he also knew about Yang Wenzhao, Yang Haohans grandson. But in his eyes, this Wenzhao should be much morecking than Long Haochen. If his strength already reached the peak level of the eighth step, then how about Long Haochen himself? Thinking to this point, Li Zhengzhi couldnt help but shift his gaze at that leftmost person from Bright Glimmer of Hope. Although he couldnt see his face, he knew from the soft mannersing out from his body as well as Tan Wans report that this one should be Long Haochen. His face trembling slightly, Li Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly,?Long Haochen, let me see how far you will end up getting in this Alliances Great Gathering.?He didnt believe that a Demon Hunt Squad could possibly contend with Temples in the Gathering. Long Haochen didnt choose to return to the Knight Temple. Could it be because he did not hope for his teammates to fight at their own Temples side? Thinking to this point, Li Zhengzhi didnt understand why Long Haochen would appear in such a manner in the Temples Great Gathering. But he understood clearly that now that Long Haochen was back after over four years, he would inevitably be his own greatest rival in the near future. Never did Li Zhengzhi underestimate Long Haochen due to his young age. The contest kept going, and the various Temples strengths came on disy. The most powerful ones were still the Knight Temple, Mage Temple and Spiritual Temple, while the Warrior Temple and Assassin Temple were clearly quite weaker. Strangely, over a dozen consecutive match went on without any of Bright Glimmer of Hopes people getting picked. Thatsted until the twenty-fourth match, in which the light of selection fell upon one of the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope. This time, the light of selectionnded on the tallest member of the team. Right at this time, a girl standing on the lounge of the Warrior Temple stood up suddenly, her hands shivering greatly out of excitement. The white d Feng Linger. As early as when Chen Zidian called the name of Bright Glimmer of Hope, Feng Linger felt as if struck by a thunderbolt from her lounge. Bright Glimmer of Hope, wasnt that their team? Having gone missing for over four years, this bastard finally decided toe back. This sudden news caused her brain to feel empty, as her eyes kept staring fixedly at the tallest of these Demon Hunters, that tall and robust man. Her eyes wavered, and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes. Ye Weiyang was seated beside Feng Linger. As they were the representatives of the Alliances Great Auction House, they were naturally qualified to join this honored guest lounge. The words Bright Glimmer of Hope shocked her no less than Feng Linger, and right now she felt at a loss as for how to to console Feng Linger, only tightly gripping her hand to console her warmly. Right now, that man lit by the light of selection had caused Feng Linger to shed countless tears over the past four years. She was unable to repress her inner feelings anymore, which is why she rose up. Ye Weiyang hurriedly held her in her arms, Linger, dont let your emotions take control of you. If thats really him, you will meet him sooner orter. Bastard Bastard Feng Lingers red lips were shivering. If not for Ye Weiyangs support, she was afraid she would have already copsed. So hes back, its him! She wasnt in control of her tears anymore, they were just like pears falling over her fair, beautiful face. Under Feng Linger and Ye Weiyangs attentive watch, that tall member of Bright Glimmer of Hope slowly strolled toward the entrance of the Knight Temple, removing therge cloak from himself and revealing a smooth and shyrge bald head. Chapter 678 - Coarse and Wild Baldie (I)

Chapter 678: Coarse and Wild Baldie (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Its him! Feng Linger lost her voice, suddenly throwing herself into Ye Weiyangs embrace while crying out loud right after this call. On the surface, Ye Weiyangs character was rather more optimistic than Feng Linger, and seemed far more tolerant. But actually, Feng Linger was also a really strong person, otherwise she wouldnt be the one to have inherited the Alliances Great Auction House. But even if she was stronger, she was after all just a girl! This guy had been missing for close to five years after theirst separation. No letter came, and not a single piece of news had spread. Even the Scarlet Dragon Armor she had offered him was already smashed to pieces. Feng Linger had seemed to be hypnotizing herself to convince herself into believing he was still alive. But deep inside, how could she not understand that the chances for him to still be alive were very scarce? Now that she was finally able to see him again, still living and well, even if Feng Linger felt even more enraged, she couldnt help but cry out tears of joy. Hes alive! Hes alive! And hes back! Her tears gushing out, this strong leader of the Alliances Auction House had already totally lost control over her own emotions. Indeed, when that cloak was removed, it revealed the true colors of the only Discipline Priest of the Priest Temple, the bald Sima Xian. Compared to four years ago, he was even more robust, but did not forget his own identity as a priest. His priests gown was fully packed with his strong muscles, and just by standing here, he gave off a lofty feeling of might. His eyes flickered in golden light, and, as Sima Xian strode forward, he seemingly sensed something and unconsciously nced at the Warrior Temples honored guest lounge. But this lounge was really elevated high, theres no way he could see anything inside unless his eyes line of sight could shift direction midway. The light of selection glinted onto another personing from the Spiritual Temple, who entered ahead of him due to Sima Xian having to remove his gown. The Temples Great Gathering was an honor amongst honors for all contestants, and being able to participate was already a great glory. To be able to gain points for ones own Temple was such an honor that no one would dare go easy there. In the midst of incantations, a dark purple hexagram appeared in front of that summoner, and immediately, a pitch-ck gate slowly rose up from the ground. A sinister aura rose up, and in the air, a ck fog rippled around faintly. Darkness attribute! This summoner was actually a rarely seen dark summoner, using the magic called Hells Gate,pletely different yet simr to the Creature Summoning Gate. This darkness summoner was visibly very powerful, to be able to use Hells Gate in such a short time. As Sima Xian was just standing there, his gate of darkness had alreadye out. Contracted magic! Ye Weiyang cried out in rm, drawing the emotionally disturbed Feng Lingers attention onto the field. Contracted magic was generally something only summoners form the Spiritual Temple could train. The contracted beast they put their heart into breeding was generally their greatest asset, but not all summoners could find a fitting magical beast to subdue, to make them their own contracted beast. So in such a situation came another choice, contracted magic! The so-called contracted magic was a magic branded into the depths of the user heart to be part of his body. A summoner using contract magic would not be able to possess a contracted beast of his own, but this magic would cause their strength to magically break through the limitations of his rank to reach a higher level. Right now, this dark summoners disy proved with no doubt that his contracted magic was Hells Gate. Hells Gate in itself was, just like Creature Summoning Gate, a magic of the seventh step, but after being turned into his contracted magic, it would rise in power alongside his cultivation to get reinforced greatly. This darkness summoner looked in his fifties, making him a rtively young contestant. His cultivation reached the peak of the eighth step: by relying on this contracted magic simrly raised to the peak of the eighth step, he felt confident in being able to put up a fight even against a powerhouse at the ninth step. Feng Lingers teary face shifted its gaze to the field, unconsciously feeling greatly worried. The contracted magic Hells Gate could be considered a powerful thing. Not only did it have a great burst power, but moreover, it could be maintained just by using up the magic power of the user continuously. Generally, prolonged magic such as Creature Summoning Gate or Hells Gate would not be employed in an individual tournament because of the really long casting time. But this being a contracted magic, this dark summoner was able toplete it in a very short time. Furthermore, it was an advanced Hells Gate, making it apletely different thing. Sima Xian was unarmed and defenseless in front of the Hells Gate! Feng Linger understood very clearly this baldies capabilities: without the Energetic Ball of Light in his hand, how much of his strength could possiblye out? The feelings of worry and excitement filling Feng Linger masked the deep grudge she still had. Feng Linger tightly grabbed Ye Weiyangs hand, nervously looking at the situation on the field below. Sima Xian advanced with no reservations, not releasing any kind of ability, but just takingrge strides toward the dark mage. To an ordinary person, this speed could be consideredrge strides, but to the powerhouses participating in this gathering, it just felt too slow. The opposite darkness summoner felt truly puzzled when looking at Sima Xian, even thinking, wasnt he being too careful by using his contracted magic right off the bat? He was facing this person looking to be in his thirties, with a robust buildparable to a mighty dragon, but d in a priest gown. Really, a strange sight. Furthermore, this fellow was not even using any ability, only takingrge steps toward him like an ordinary human. There were quite a few matches in the individualpetition, but this was the first time such a thing was happening. This darkness summoner had a high status in the Spiritual Temple, and a plentiful fighting experience. After this short time of stupor, he immediately made up his resolve to use his own full strength, no matter the opponent, for the sake of winning this for the Spiritual Temple. Hells Gates power came to view: Hellhounds surrounded in dark mes came out frantically from the gate, aimed at Sima Xians direction. These Hellhounds were twelve, dual element creatures of darkness and fire attributes, and equivalent to human powerhouses of the sixth step. They didnt have any offensive abilities, and were only experts in physical attacks, but all their physical attacks carried attached boosts of darkness and fire attributes. Extremely tough and persevering, they wouldnt rest until death if someone would happen to annoy them. Looking at this Hellhound, Sima Xian still walked forward, his bald head glittering intensely under the effects of the bright illumination in the whole stadium. The Hellhounds were extremely fast, and the twelve of them arrived in front of Sima Xian in just a blink of an eye. These Hellhound were not only tyrannical, but looked very well organized. The three ahead pounced simultaneously onto Sima Xian, while out of the other nine, three jumped high, and the other six took the two sidelines, so to seal every of Sima Xians possible escape routes. Their heads flickered in ck and red, taking advantage of their numerical advantage against Sima Xian. That dark summoner was seated crosslegged, floating atop the Hells Gate and incanting without pausing. Fluctuations of spiritual energy of great intensity seemed toe out from the gate. Gloomy, sinister, who knew what kind of creature was about toe out from this gate. He was not thinking of vanquishing Sima Xian using the Hellhounds, only to stall him for long enough. From his view, as long as his following magic could bepleted, his victory would then be settled. Out of all spectators, the most nervous was without doubt Feng Linger. Looking at the unarmed and defenseless Sima Xian besieged by twelve Hellhounds, she unawarely felt her breath get hasty. She felt like very severely repremending Sima Xian, _Youre just that young, yet are already rushing to participating to the Temples Great Gathering. Could you just be looking for death?_ But the following scene shocked the whole audience. Facing the assaults of the twelve Hellhounds, Sima Xians look was still the same, as if he didnt see them at all. Only when these twelve Hellhounds seemed close to contact, Sima Xians strides came to a step, as he aimed a right kick heavily onto the ground. With just a _bang_ , a strong golden me arose from his body, extending over a span of five meters with Sima Xian ath the center, to materialize an immense golden sphere in there. What ability is that? To say nothing about the dumbstruck people from the other Temples, even the Knight Temple and Priest Temple expert in abilities of the light attribute looked the same. The next instant, they saw that baldie keep walking ahead in the same manner in the direction of the Hells Gate as if nothing happened. The fire behind him vanished, and in their midst the twelve Hellhounds had already disappeared, leaving not even a single stain. The referee on the knights lounge couldnt help but reveal a smile upon seeing such a scene, What an intrepid priest. This is no ability, clearly just a release of spiritual energy: simple and direct. The others naturally couldnt hear Chen Zidians statement, only seeing the intrepid bald priest still advancing toward the Hells Gate. To instantly dispose of twelve Hellhounds expert in their defensive power, was that a feat anyone could manage? The dark summoner felt abruptly nervous, and visibly elerated his chanting speed. Seeing Sima Xian already at a distance close to fifty meters from him, he couldnt help sweating profusely from the forehead. Chapter 679 - Coarse and Wild Baldie (II)

Chapter 679: Coarse and Wild Baldie (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Although he wanted to give his all to handle Sima Xian, he was still negligent, originally thinking that the Hellhounds would at least be able to stall Sima Xian for at least ten seconds. In reality, Sima Xian only took a second to dispose of them. His incantation was close topletion and couldnt be altered, but at Sima Xians current speed, he could totally dash in front of him before his incantation would bepleted. Being able to instantly extinguish so many Hellhounds, could he possibly have no spiritual wings? But to the whole audiences shock, Sima Xian not only didnt release his spiritual wings, but even stopped advancing at twenty meters from the Hellgate, only peacefully standing there, a great fighting will leaking out from his eyes. What could he be doing? Waiting for the opponent toplete his spell? Isnt that just too arrogant? For a moment, the spectators all got uproarious, as they could tell Sima Xians goal. Only Sima Xian understood his own feelings, he really needed to vent out. Originally having a wild personality, such a long period of silence now required a great battle for him to liberate his constrained feelings. The dark summoner finallypleted his spell. The Hells Gate dispersed an intense dark purple htion, and immediately, an immense figure drilled out from within. No mistake, it was drilling out. The Hells Gate was four meters long, and three meters wide, but this summon could be seen drilling out just by lowering its head. Six meters tall, human shaped, robust with a spiral horn. A Hells Demon King of the ninth step. Right, that was the trump card of this darkness summoner, he was able to summon a powerful Hells Demon King of the ninth step even though his cultivation was only at the peak of the eighth step. No matter what Sima Xian did, he still finally managed toplete this spell. _Raa._ An overwhelming roar reverberated, but did note from the Hells Demon King, but from Sima Xian twenty meters away. Facing the Hells Demon King that just came out from Hell Gate, he suddenly spread out his arm and shouted loudly, rushing straight at the Hells Demon King at great speed. Having just gotten summoned, the Hells Demon King still didnt understand the situation. A human dispersing an intense bright light from his body was rushing to him, so he unconsciously aimed a punch straight at Sima Xian. An intense dark purple htion came out from the demon king, the aura of a tyrannical powerhouse of the ninth step with no doubts.[a] But the rushing Sima Xian didnt show any intention of avoiding it, stamping heavily onto the ground to issue a _boom_ sound, soaring high into the sky. The golden light distributed from his body instantly turned incandescent, as from Sima Xians fist burst out such an incandescent radiance, fiercely shing against the Hells Demon Kings fist. To sh with a Hells Demon King in sheer physical power. What a sight! This instant, Feng Linger was already not the only one whose breathing became perturbed, but the same went for an absolute majority of the spectators. Sima Xians overbearingly rude and unreasonable fighting manner caused their blood to boil. _Bang_. Light and darkness would always sh violently. The defensive barrier in the stadium shook greatly, and with Sima Xian and the Hells Demon King as center, powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy was disperse, causing even the Hells Gate to be on the verge of copse just from the repercussions of the sh. To the whole audiences shock, the one to suffer a loss was not Sima Xian who was not viewed optimistically, but the Hells Demon King. In arge roar, the Hells Demon King was unexpectedly pushed away by Sima Xians fist, and upon this sh, the incandescent sacred fire had ignited and fiercely corroded his body. Sima Xian tumbled back slightly,nding onto the ground, but at the same time his feet touched the ground, he once again rekeased his power, rushing just like an incandescent artillery shell at the Hells Demon King. A lot of matches had been undertaken, but this was the first time two powerhouses of the ninth step shed. When Sima Xian pushed back the Hells Demon King, everyone understood that this tyrannical and unreasonable priest was actually a powerhouse of the ninth step! A priest of Saint level? But how could a priest contend with a Hells Demon King by his sheer fist? Once again, Sima Xians fists went up as he jumped high to even cross over the Hells Demon King. In between his fists condensed a white sphere of a half meter diameter, brazenly smashing the Hells Demon King. The Hells Demon King only recovered his bnce right now. Sima Xians previous light of life was just so domineering, eroding the power of darkness in him with considerable effect. This Hells Demon had no understanding of the situation right after appearing here. Sima Xians rude and unreasonable acts caused him to strike out reflexively, his feet bursting with purple light which was shot at Sima Xians direction. Sima Xian was just too brutal, not even making use of that purple light shooting out from his own chest, his fists just shed with the Hells Demon Kings fist. In loud rumbles, the Hells Demon King let out wretched cries. His six meters tall figure forcibly shrank, suddenly getting more than one meter shorter because of the pounding from Sima Xians fists. An intense holy fire instantly engulfed his whole body, which shivered violently very much. But the demons horns glinting in purple light were prepared tond on Sima Xians chest, as Sima Xians figure stopped in midair, and a purple glint was shot out from his chest. _Pampam._ A thunderous sound resounded in the whole stage, as that purple ray violently smashed the chest of the Hells Demon King, flickering in purple electricity over its whole body, directly pushed back out of the way. Golden dual wings finally appeared on Sima Xians back, extending over ten meters. In a sh, he chased after the top of the Hells Demon Kings head, catching one of his horns with his vigorous hands. Get out of my way! _Swish._ In a grieved sound, the Hells Demon Kings shout finally stopped, as his massive body was split in two right above Sima Xians head. _Bang!_ Sima Xians feetnded onto the ground, finally starting to takerge breaths of air, but the wild valiance in his eyes didnt weaken in the slightest, ardently watching the Hells Gate bing gradually more and more illusory. The whole audience was in deathly stillness. This was the first battle that shook the whole Holy City form the start of the individualpetition. The bald priest Sima Xian managed by relying on his physical power to split a Hells Demon King of the ninth step. This instant, he really had an intrepid look, actually causing the veteran powerhouses from those Six Great Temples to shrink in fear. The dark summoner unconsciously drew back, narrowly copsing. Seeing the wild and burly look in Sima Xians eyes, his face became pale. Even if a Hells Demon King was one of the weakest creatures of the ninth step, that was still a powerhouse of this level! And yet that bald priest didnt even used any presentable technique to split it in two. He could not even think of anyone else more powerful. The tall and big figure thatcerated the Hells Demon King was really exceptionally burly. Ninth step, a powerhouse of the ninth step. But was that really a priest? Although Yang Wenzhao achieved victory, that was a victory achieved by tricks, which did not cause a realization of Bright Glimmer of Hopes strength. But at that very moment, Sima Xians wild rampaging raised the whole audiences attention onto the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. In the contestants quarters, the team leader Ling Xiao was already standing up, looking full of excitement. Sime Xian was his own disciple! Although this guy was gone for a long time, that was still indeed his disciple. Other may not recognize him as a priest, but Ling Xiao understood very clearly that this bald and intrepid muddled man was part of the Priest Temple. In all previous sessions of Temples Great Gathering, the Priest Temple was almost always participating in the capacity of an observer. Ling Xiao realized for the first time that an unusual priest could still bring honor to the Priest Temple. He made up his resolve to initiate a new order of Discipline Priests, so the Priest Temple could get a better ability of self-protection. The fierce glint in Sima Xians eyes vanished gradually, folding his arms and bowing in priest etiquette to the dark summoner, before turning back to leave from the field. There was basically no need for the opponent to concede for everyone toe to the same conclusion. This dark summoner not only lost, but even suffered a terrible blow in his self-confidence. Returning to the Knight Temples entrance, he put back on hisrge cloak and returned to his team, as if nothing had just happened. When the light of selectionnded once again, the spectators only awoke from their sluggish states. Thepetition resumed, but it was like the stadium caught in a terrible explosion, asments only kept rising in session. The name of Bright Glimmer of Hope became the whole Holy Citys focal point. The two who had sessively joined in battles were both in their thirties, but showed tremendous ability, especially the intrepid Sima Xian, who left a very deep impression. In the honored guests lounge, Feng Linger had her hand on her mouth, with some tears still falling from her face. Even a beauty like Ye Weiyang couldnt help but feel tenderness just by looking at her. So handsome! How perfect! Feng Linger muttered. Ye Weiyang unhappily reacted, I really wonder what you are thinking. How could a quiet little girl such as you be actually inclined toward doughty men. Look at how crude that guy is! Feng Linger shook her head vigorously, Hes not crude, look at him, isnt he so manly. I originally found him very valiant, but didnt think that after being gone for so long, hed actuallye back so perfect. No good, I have to go look for him. Saying that, she turned her head and rushed down from the lounge. What a taste in men... [a]*TC* As is = the demon kings aura shows that he doesnt doubt himself OR beyond doubt the aura...step. = there is no doubt that the demon king is at the 9th step Chapter 680 - Coarse and Wild Baldie (III)

Chapter 680: Coarse and Wild Baldie (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Come back right now. Ye Weiyang grabbed her, Youre not reserved in the slightest? Werent you just cursing at that bastard just a bit before? Why are you just so infatuated with such a muscle-headed guy? Hes been gone for over four years, and did not give out the slightest news. If he doesnt look for you, it will mean that you already dont have any ce in his heart. Even if hees, you need to teach him a good lesson, or wont you just keep being yed by him over and over again? So youd better obediently sit there. You are not allowed to even look at him, understood? Feng Linger sat back to her seat miserably, dering in a low voice, Dont be like that, Sis Weiyang. See how strong he just became. He must have suffered quite a lot in the past years, dont you find him outstanding? Reaching the ninth step at the age of thirty, dont you see some potential in him? Dont be socent. Hmpf, what if he doesnt want you anymore? Feng Linger shook his head, Thats impossible. He surely had nned to be an overnight celebrity in this Temples Great Gathering, which is why he didnte to see me, to avoid leaking their teams strength. Seeing her confident look, Ye Weiyang couldnt help butugh to her, What a girl you are! What a little white flower, youre simply a little infatuated flower. Im not regarding you anymore. Sima Xians victory gained the attention of all Six Great Temples, but thepetition still had to go on. Very quickly, the spectators lines of sight were attracted back to the stage. A short time after Sima Xian set out to fight, the head of the Mage Temple Li Zhengzhi was picked to join the battle against a warrior. He only needed tounch one spell to achieveplete victory. His performance was very low-key, but clearly his opponent was not strong enough and was unable to force out any of his other abilities. Almost a half of the contestants from the Six Great Temple were powerhouses of the ninth step. After battles between powerhouses of the ninth step started to take ce, thepetition became more and more intense, and a domain wielder even appeared in one battle. On the thirty-fifth battle, the light of selectionnded for the third time onto someone from Bright Glimmer of Hope, this timending on the fifth man of the group. That was a tall built man, looking even younger than the previous two, and wore his deep green hair long. His appearance instantly rosements on the side of the Mage Temple because many mages had recognized him. And on the side of the Knight Temple, a pink haired girl almost instantly clenched her fist, looking extremely sluggish just like the previous Feng Linger. Biting her teeth, with great difficulty she resisted the urge to cry out loudly. Li Zhengzhi looked at Lin Chen on his side, an inquiring look on his face. Lin Chen had a lifeless look right now, trembling intensely out of excitement. Li Zhengzhi shifted back his gaze, able to see from Lin Chens expression that he didnt know at all about his grandsoning to Holy City. That great excitement couldnt possibly be faked. No mistake, this dark-green-haired and slender-built man looking handsome to the extent of being characterizable as a bit girly, was the only mage of Bright Glimmer of Hope, Lin Xin, nicknamed has-drugs-bro by everyone else. Lin Xins opponent was a knight, so he walked into the stadium alongside this knight. Without leaving the knight the time to open her mouth, Lin Xins figure shed and shifted a hundred meters away, as if teleporting, before closing the distance to this knight. The powerhouses from all Six Great Temples only saw Lin Xins back sh in blue light before he elerated to appear a hundred meters away. When could a mage attain such speed? That knight had shivers as well, but as he came to take part in thepetition, he naturally wouldnt be frightened so easily. In a golden sh of light, a huge snow-white eagle with a golden horn appeared above him. This gigantic eagle rose over ten meters, and right as it appeared, light essence kept surging in waves, pouring all the way inside the knight. This knight was originally at the peak of the eighth step of cultivation, but the assistance of the gigantic eagle in the sky caused his imposing manner to rise sharply, rising to the realm of the ninth step in the blink of an eye. Hias opponent Lin Xin did not chant but scratched the empty air in front of him with his right fist, immediately causing a one meter long thumb-shaped blue light-ray toe out, and be shot at that knight. The blue ray did not emit the slightest sound, only advancing and tracing an arc. Whats that? That knight who just got boosted by his holy golden eagle dashed at Lin Xin with a greatly increased cultivation. Seeing that inconspicuous blue ray shoot out, as he raised his left hand, a deep golden color condensed instantly, turning into a golden shield in front of him, and heunched Divine Obstruction whileing to a stop in his dash. A blue ray? Could his opponent be a water element mage? This being the Temples Great Gathering, even through the opponents attack looked inconspicious, he couldnt afford to be careless. As a Guardian Knight, he had to attach the most importance to safety and put emphasis on consolidation. In a battle between a Guardian Knight and a mage, the Guardian Knight would frequently need the mage to exhaust his magic power to achieve victory. After all, Guardian Knights were not expert in speed and had rather weaker attack power, putting them in no good position against mages using their spiritual wings to achieve flight. _Bang._ When the blue ray uratelynded onto the Guardian Knights shield, against all expectations, that soft looking blue ray with a presence far fromparable to the awe of a fireball suddenly exploded upon contact with the Guardian Knights shield. The Guardian Knight was suddenly pushed close to ten meters away, and blue ashes were created on the shield. Immediately, his Spiritual Higndized Holy Shield disappeared in the midst of the blue ray, as the air surrounding him became clearly distorted. That was not water, but fire. But what kind of magic was that? The Guardian Knight lost his shield under the state of Divine Obstruction, and that burning hot stream of air caused his spiritual energy to deplete at a massive speed. With great difficulty, he finally managed to counteract the massive remainder produced by the blue ray. Although his cultivation was raised to the ninth step thanks to his mount, in the end he hadnt reached the ninth step for real. Facing the instant st of the opponents fire spell of the ninth step, he knew that his chances were pretty scarce. This time, Lin Xinunched yet another attack. Behind his back, his dark hair fluttered slowly on the side of his left arm as his right hand was raised once again, and this time, two such blue rays were shot again. The Guardian Knightsplexion had be very unsightly. In a situation with no useable equipment, his shield could only be materialized by relying on his own spiritual energy, and adding that to Divine Obstruction made up his greatest defensive state. But the previous blue ray just pierced through his defense, and this time, two of them would certainly be even harder to defend against. In arge shout, the Guardian Knight strode forward and traced an arc in a movement. In the meantime, a holy light rose from his whole body, sending him into a sanctified mode. His hands crossed each other in midair, and a shield even thicker than the previous one appeared. Incandescent mes formed this heavy shield used to block the iing attack. That was still Divine Obstruction, and his only current hope was that this instant spell Lin Xin unleashed actually expended a great amount of magical power, so that the the mage opposing him would have a greater depletion of ressources than he did. When the blue rays exploded in session, the Guardian Knight realized once again his mistake. These two blue entities had sted in session, causing this shield using holification and Spiritual Hignd as basis to actually get split once again, a scorching blue fire rising around the knights body. Some of it was already on him and caused vast expenditures of spiritual energy to keep gushing out, all of which was just caused by these terrifyingly scorching blue rays of light. _So a real powerhouse of the ninth step was actually such a terrifying thing?_ This match looked far more rxed than before, no shy magic, no powerful ability, and none of the disdain and coarse wildness showed by Sima Xian. But true powerhouses were able to discern a lot from this. That simple looking blue ray of light was not simple at all. Li Zhengzhi looked at Lin Xin with a look full of shock, murmuring, Such condensed spiritual hignd already goes beyond the scale of magic. An easy looking yet extremelyplicated control over spiritual energy! Just what terrifyingly deep level does this child Lin Xins understanding of fire already reach? Lin Chens shock went even beyond Li Zhengzhis. Was that still that same grandson of his? The previous attack was something he had no way at all to reproduce. Even though Lin Chens cultivation made a final breakthrough after so many years of bottleneck to finally reach the ninth step after the end of the Holy War, he still felt totally unable to reproduce that control over fire. Moreover, Lin Xins Heart of Fire gave him a control over fire far beyond any ordinary mage. After his grandson went missing for over four years only to return so powerful, how could he not get excited? Right at this time, Lin Xins next disy of skills shook the whole audience. His left foot stepped forward a bit, as he wore an extremely focused look on his face, his eyes flickering in sincerity. Raising his left hand, this time he exerted control using only his forefinger. Blue rays appeared brazenly in the air, looking even shorter than the previous two, but did not immediately go for the Guardian Knight, only staying condensed at Lin Xins side. In a blink of an eye, Lin Xin mboyantly gave rise to twelve of these blue rays of light, causing the opposite Guardian Knight to look totally nk. Since two blue rays already exhausted him to such extent, how could so many of them even spare his life? By chance the Temples Great Gathering had set rules, that killing the opponent is in no way allowed, or else he was afraid he would already be fleeing in great panic. Those twenty plus rays in the sky formed tworge words, Xiner.[1] [1] The affectionate way of calling Li Xins name, Xiner, is written with the Chinese characters _ܰ_ which are drawn with 20 and 2 strokes respectively Chapter 681 - Light God Domain (I)

Chapter 681: Light God Domain (I)

Xiner. Seeing these words, surges of tears began to flow on Li Xins cheeks, from the terrace.?He has returned, and although he hasnte to look for me first thing, he still remembered me! Immediately, Lin Xin raised his hands up, and used his terrifyingly powerful light rays to form a heart symbol surrounding the name Xiner. This bastard! Lin Chens eye immediately reddened beyond his control, finding for the first time his grandsons shows not so repulsive. The muscles on the face of the opposite Guardian Knight twitched immediately, the opponent was actually making a love deration in a match of the Temples Great Gathering. This simply caused him to bury his face in his palm! Finding the shame no longer bearable, the Guardian Knight turned his head and left. What use was there to even keep the match going further? He had visibly already lost anyway. That Xiner looked even more terrifying than even an ordinary forbidden fire spell. Lin Xin faced upwards, looking at the blurry outline of his heart drawing, before a resonant phoenix cry suddenly rang out, the blue rays immediately gathering in his chest to disappear in the blink of an eye. Then he left the field, picking up his cloak as he returned to hisrades. In thispetition, watchers were in no way allowed toe into contact with the contestants. Sitting there, Li Xin was already crying bitterly.?So he finally came back, and didnt forget about me! Looking at the previous scene, even the lead referee Chen Zidian had a monstrous look on his face, thinking to himself,?Nowadays youngsters are really getting more and more daring.?But Lin Xins act was in no way against the rules. He had already proved the power of his blue rays to the whole audience before writing out these two words. What a mystery! The most important for a powerhouse of the ninth step was to find a path to walk on his own, and Lin Xin undoubtedly had found this path. He broke away from traditional magic casting and found an alternative, creating his own route. Perhaps he may seem a bit inferior in terms of the scales of his attacks, but the power of his attacks was definitely amongst the top of the fire mages. And more importantly, his instant release of such magic made his survivability in the battlefield undoubtedly extremely great, and gave him no need for the assistance of other vocations. Three of the ten people forming Bright Glimmer of Hope had set out, all of whom achieved victory, and all won in style, especially Sima Xian and Lin Xin who left extremely deep impressions. The light of selection reappeared, but against all expectations, another of the light of selections once again illuminated someone amongst Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks, as well as someone else on the side of the Spiritual Temple. Seeing that person illuminated on the side of the Spiritual Temple, a lot of people couldnt help but gasp, because that was actually the auxiliary head of the Spiritual Temple, Sanshui Popo. The Holy War may have caused immense damage to the Alliance, but also gave rapid rise to powerhouses. Just like Lin Chen, Sanshui Popo managed through her great efforts to achieve a breakthrough and rise to the ninth step, raising her strength greatly. Moreover, being the wife of the head of the Spiritual Temple, Chen Zidian, she held a decisive role in the Spiritual Temple. Bright Glimmer of Hope was unexpectedly running into such a powerhouse. This time no one was optimistic for them, since this was, after all, the first powerhouse of the ninth step they were meeting. But at the time the contestant on the side of Bright Glimmer of Hope removed her cloak, a greatmotion arose! She was just too young! How could this Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope actually be formed with so many of these freaks? Could they have special techniques to change their appearance? How could each one of them just look so young? Her long hairdrifting lightly in the breeze as she carried an entric smile on her face, Chen Yinger entered the stadium. Sanshui Popo had a helpless look when seeing her, and did not soar up in excitement when seeing her. Very clearly, Chen Yinger had already met her grandfather and grandmother before the start of the Temples Great Gathering. After Chen Yinger entered the stadium, she did not immediately chant her incantation, but gave a miserable look to her own grandmother, as if telling her,?Do as you see fit, but just dont make it hurt too much please. Sanshui Popo let out a light sigh. A loving look on her face, she helplessly shook her head, and spoke the words, I concede. After speaking these words, she immediately turned back to exit the field. Chen Yinger stuck out her tongue and exited the stadium vivaciously, with a smile on her face. What? Sanshui Popo just conceded? The overwhelming majority felt as if they had heard wrong. How could the auxiliary head of the Spiritual Temple just give up against such a young girl? In fact, that was a knock-outpetition: just by losing one match, one wouldnt have any more chance to participate in the rest of the Temples Great Gathering. Li Zhengzhi furrowed his eyebrows, seemingly wanting to say something, but finally bearing it. With his understanding of the squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, she naturally knew about the rtionship between Sanshui Popo and Chen Yinger. Situations of conceding in the Temples Great Gathering were very rare, but not absolutely absent. For instance, there had been once in the previous Temples Great Gathering two formerly separated Demon Hunters that encountered each other. Just after meeting, one of them took the initiative to concede. No matter what, no rules forbid conceding, so although Sanshui Popos move raised questions, no one stopped her from doing so. Mysteriously, the contestants on the side of the Spiritual Temple all had tranquil looks, and none of them even went toment on Sanshui Popos act. Seeing this scene, Li Zhengzhi suddenly had an uneasy feeling. The calm of the Spiritual Temple seemed to have another meaning. Although the Spiritual Temple and Mage Temples rtionship was not as close as the Assassin Temple and Knight Temple, the Spiritual Temple could be considered a backer of the Mage Temple for a long time now. Only, their cooperation was achieved in more professional manners. Thepetition kept going. The matches of the Temples Great Gathering went for a short time, first because there was no struggle of life or death, and because the contestants being at the ninth step for some, and at the eighth step for others, gaps in strength would appear extremely easily, making most matches very short. In the morning, over forty matches were concluded. Based on this speed, the first rounds of the first stage should terminate by the evening. Out of the five participating great Temples and the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, thetter was the only one to only keep winning from beginning to now. Five of them had already set out: Yang Wenzhao, Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Chen Yinger, as well as Duan Yi who also reached the peak of the eighth step, and won thanks to a perfect coboration with his mammoth mount in that match. Out of the five, only Duan Yi had a rather difficult time, having been confronted with a fierce battle against a mage for a quarter of a hour, achieving victory by relying on his great defense and personal skills. Achieving victory aside, the others all had a rather easy time. The Temples Great Gathering didnt include any lunch pause. The participating powerhouses would have no trouble even spending ten days or half a month without eating, so thepetition still kept going. At the time of the fourty-eighth match, the sixth candidate of Bright Glimmer of Hope was the target of the light of selection, and was this time the one standing in the leftmost of their ranks. At the time the light of selection came to a stop, the looks of all higher-ups of the Six Great Temple were concentrated on him, because all knew that the first position of a Demon Hunt Squad would always belong to their captain. And Bright Glimmer of Hopes captain was no one else than Long Haochen. So after over four years passed, Long Haochen finally reappeared. Long Haochens luck was verycking, because the other one selected was astonishly the head of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao, number one powerhouse of the Warrior Temple. Qiu Yonghao became nk upon seeing the light of selection reflect upon him.?Long Haochen, am I actually going to?cross hands?with you in such a manner? His figure shing, Qiu Yonghao entered the filed, and on the other side, Long Haochen became, after removing his cloak, the target of all lines of sight. Before even entering the field, he turned back to perform a knight salute in the direction of his grandfather Long Tianying before heading to the field. d in a simple white martial attire, his long golden hair draped over his shoulder and his crystal clear eyes seemingly able to see through anything, in addition to a handsome to the peak appearance, he had a steady disposition like no one else. But no matter how one would look, with his face he just looked to be in his twenties or so. Yet those other traits caused everyone to forget about his young age. Looking to him would subconsciously give the feeling of a cleansing breeze. He dispersed no fluctuations of spiritual energy, but just by standing here, he immediately became the focal point. Even the head of the Warrior Temple Qiu Yonghao was not such a target of attention. Within the Knight Temple, all Golden Foundation Knights got up and returned Long Haochens salute. No matter for how long he was missing, that was still the Saint Knight Head of their Knight Temple until the Knight Temple would remove that announcement, as well as themander of all Golden Foundation Knights and Mythril Foundation Knights. Not only the Knight Temple recognized Long Haochen, but the Assassin Temple, Priest Temple, Warrior Temple, and Mage Temple all had a lot of people recognize him. Although Long Haochen did not appear for a long time during the Holy War, he left a deep impression in the Assassin, Warrior, and Mage Temples. And in the bloody battles in the southern mountain pass, he was even the hero who saved the fort. History wouldnt get forgotten so easily. No matter how long the time that passed would be, they still recognized the handsome features on Long Haochens face. Chapter 682 - Light God Domain (II)

Chapter 682: Light God Domain (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Bright Glimmer of Hope actually turned out to be _his/her_ Demon Hunt Squad! All those unacquainted to Long Haochen but who knew the other members shared this thought. But the higher-ups truly aware of the meaning of Long Haochens existence all had different thoughts. These youngsters were the ones to destroy a demon god pir for the first time in History, and he was the one who caused the Holy War thatsted for two years between demonkind and humankind. He was now back, and brought his Demon Hunt Squad along. Just what was henning by participating in this Temples Great Gathering? Why wouldnt he take up arms for the Knight Temple, but rather choose to participate alongside his Demon Hunt Squad? Looking at the young man before his eyes, Qiu Yonghao had apletely different impression. The first time he had met Long Haochen, it was for him to leave his sword intent for the Warrior Temple. And, because this sword intent was the one he had witnessed from the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang, it enabled him to make astonishing progress. After that, every one of Long Haochens moves produced some miraculous things. After having gone missing for so long, he finally returned. At that very moment, Qiu Yonghao couldnt help but reminisce about those words Wang Yuanyuan left when they met. Its been a long time, Haochen. Qiu Yonghao had a faint smile, staring at Long Haochen ardently. Long Haochen revealed a simr smile, Yes! Temple Head Qiu, ourst encounter was close to five years ago. I didnt expect us to be reunited in these circumstances. Qiu Yonghao dered, Haochen, I wont show you any mercy. Now let me see to which level you rose after these past five years. Long Haochen nodded to him, Please guide me well. At the time Qiu Yonghao dered these words to Long Haochen, he had alreadye to his resolve. As the head of the Warrior Temple, he wanted first of all to see what influence already Long Haochen already had, as well as what he could bring to the future Alliance. As a result, he noticed that at Long Haochens back were at least the Knight Temple and Assassin Temple, which were two of the Six Great Temples. Also, he clearly remembered the rtionship between Chen Yinger and Chen Hongbo. Didnt he just see how fast Sanshui Popo conceded? This way, at least the Summoner Temple wont oppose him, and would most likely remain neutral. The Priest Temple never had a great influence over the Alliance, so Long Haochen very possibly had already obtained over a half of the Alliances backing. After all, he had a very special identity: the Scion of Light of the Knight Temple, and the next sessor to their Temple. Since even Wang Yuanyuan had reached the ninth step, how far could his cultivation have already gone? If he could prove himself using strength, maybe his authority would ultimately have a very decisive role in the new Alliance. So, Qiu Yonghao understood that the greatest factor determining whether Long Haochen would be able to change the whole Alliance was strength. Whether he had a first grade cultivation or not would determine the power of the backing he would obtain from the neutral party. Qiu Yonghao resolved himself that if Long Haochen is able to achieve victory over him, no matter what follows from his participation in this Temples Great Gathering, the Warrior Temple would at least choose to remain neutral. Long Haochens left feet strode forward. Advancing his right fist, he started heading toward the other party, but didnt even summon his own mount in the process. Qiu Yonghao didnt believe a mountless Long Haochen to be not strong enough. The two of them were separated by close to two hundred meters, yet Long Haochens fist gave off the feeling of raising the temperatare in the whole stadium, causing a warm oppressive feeling to descend upon him. Qiu Yonghao was an experienced powerhouse as well, and immediately felt the crisis. Although this warm pressure didnt feel too oppressive, he could faintly sense that if he didnt respond properly, it would be highly possible for him to lose the match. Qiu Yonghaos eyes turned into a golden color as his fist struck out as well. An immense golden heavy sword had appeared behind him, soaring high, and his dense sword intent immediately filled the whole stadium with a somber and deste presence. Long Haochen shot his fist, while Qiu Yonghao shot his sword intent. The two parties spiritual energies were incorporeal, but when they shed, the barriers protecting the stadium swayed violently, the multicolored golden light on it abruptly strengthening, obviously in order to bear the massive pressure. This instant, everyone saw Long Haochen arrive in front of Qiu Yonghao, and aim another punch at this head of the Warrior Temple. Qiu Yonghans face froze, not aware of who it was that had the advantage in the first sh. Facing Long Haochens fist, he braced his arms to block the attack. The two parties clearly had top-notch levels of strength, holding most of their spiritual energyin reserve. This looked like simple physical shes, but everyone knew that this kind of battle was actually the most dangerous, because a burst of spiritual energy could go as far as to causendslide scale effects. _Bang._ Qiu Yonghao blocked Long Haochens fist with his arms, and the two of them came to a standstill in midiar. Immediately, all the spectators saw a sh of golden light shine upon Long Haochens chest. That instant, everyone felt as if Long Haochens body had just inted. The next instant, Qiu Yonghao who had just borne Long Haochens attack was unexpectedly pushed back, shing violently against the barrier of the training field. To send the head of the Warrior Temple flying with just a fist? Seeing this scene, even Li Zhengzhi abruptly stood up from his seat. Li Zhengzhi and him were old friends, so he naturally understood Qiu Yonghaos cultivation well. Over the past years, Qiu Yonghao had always been training and seeking after breakthroughs assiduously, his cultivation finally broke through the second rank of the ninth step, his internal spiritual energy already being above the two hundred sixty thousand. He was one of the top powerhouses in the whole Temple Alliance, as well as the number one in the Warrior Temple, as famous as the most powerful Wargod. But in the previous exchange of blows, he was actually smashed away by Long Haochens fist. What did it mean? It meant that Long Haochens spiritual level was even higher. At the ninth step level, to smash the opponent away without use of any ability would require a gap of fifty thousand spiritual energy at least between the two. But how could this happen? Four years before, Long Haochens spiritual energy reached at most thirty or forty thousand. Could he already have risen to the third rank of the ninth step in the short span of four years? Li Zhengzhi felt for the first time a massive threat from Long Haochen. He was not only back, but also with a strength far exceeding his own. He was starting to be afraid that the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope didnt only have the goal of training themselves in mind. When Qiu Yonghao hit the barrier, his body was instantly repelled back, and that ten meter high sword behind his back also struck out, turning into a massive golden entity chopping at Long Haochen. This was not a weapon, but a pure sword intent, Qiu Yonghaos domain. For the sake of chasing after the true essence of sword intent, Qiu Yonghao focused his domainprehension onto sword intent. His Domain of Sword Intent could match a divine tool! One use of it could already split heaven and earth apart. Facing this golden huge swords strike, Long Haochen stood firmly on his feet. Behind him, intense golden glints shone abruptly, and six massive golden wings spread out, and an overflowing power flowed out from him. His right hand pointed to the sky, Long Haochens eyes suddenly turned an incandescent color, then an incandescent surge of light came out from his body, turning into a white light soaring from him. This sword ray looked far smaller than Qiu Yongs sword intent, as it had the size of an ordinary fencing sword. An incandescent htion spread out from within, but the instant it appeared, Qiu Yonghao making full use of his Domain of Sword Intent felt intense shivers. _Dang_ In a melodious ringing, Long Haochens body swayed slightly and drew two steps back, but the golden light previously gushing out from his chest shed as his pace became far steadier. With crispy sounds, Qiu Yonghaos Domain of Sword Intent already filled the atmospherepletely, only to stop in front of that white sword, The white sword was lightly buzzing, slowly removing the pressure from the immense sword, seemingly carrying an unbearable burden. All the spectators that could see so far would believe Qiu Yonghao to once again be in disadvantage. However, only he knew that Long Haochens sword intent was of apletely different naturepared to his. His sword intent was purely formed with notions regarding the sword,bining his spirits will to the swords intention. But although Long Haochens sword intent wasnt as powerful as his own Sword Intent Domain, that white sword intent had soul fluctuations of its own. In other words, Long Hoachen was able to pour some soul into this sword intent. Qiu Yonghao remembered vividly that in those years, on the eve of the day Ye Wushang challenged the Demon God Emperor; he had told him that he finally understood some of the mysteries behind sword soul. But wasnt Long Haochen utilizing precisely this very sword soul? That technique went even beyond sword intent! Long Haochen had a thin smile on his face as he looked at Qiu Yonghao, Congrattions for your great progress in cultivation Temple Head Qiu. Your Domain of Sword Intent is really powerful and original. If one day you can understand the mysteries behind using ones soul as sword, your attainments will have surpassed the senior Ye Wushang of those years. I would possibly even need to use my own domain to resist your attacks. After so many matches, Long Haochen was the only one to have spoken words in the midst of his match. Qiu Yonghao not only did not became twitchy because of these words, but instead felt thin feelings ofprehension, ardently watching the sword soul close to Long Haochens head. He could feel that Long Haochens sword soul was only at an embryonic state, but he still really attained that level! Sword soul, just how could one materialize a sword soul!? Chapter 683 - Light God Domain (III)

Chapter 683: Light God Domain (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # Long Haochen raised his right hand and gripped that white soul sword above his head as the six golden wings on his back slowly unfolded. A beautiful sound came out from his body, like the fall of pearls, like a morning bell. That instant, Long Haochens body seemed to disappear, and the whole stadium became filled with golden color. Even the sword soul in his hand was the same. By chance this was a transparent golden color, so the contestants could all see what happened within. Light Strip. Long Haochen watched Qiu Yonghao attentively, and spoke these words in a bizarre intonation. The next instant, Qiu Yonghaos body froze, then deep surges of golden waves came flying to his direction. Rapidly integrated into the surrounding golden space, his Domain of Sword Intent got weaker at an astonishing speed. The sword soul in Long Haochens hand pointed forward, seemingly conserving its original course. But from his body, countless sparkling golden rays were refracted, forming golden threads all over the space, tangling and spirallic, to finally join with the six wings on his back, which became even more solid and dazzling. The previous two shes of golden light on his chests kept repeating at a slow interval. This is my domain, known as light. In my domain, I am like the God of Light. You are the only other person to have ever entered my domain. Sorry, but your spiritual energy is below mine, and every spiritual energy of light elemental powerhouse below me as well as their power of light will be stripped and given to me. During the light binding, Long Haochen still stood there calmly, looking no different from before, the bright light on his body dispersing quietly, and even the six wings and long sword in his hand werent anymore. In front of him, Qiu Yonghao was seated on the ground in a decrepit state. Looking at Long Haochen, the current Qiu Yonghao was full of shock. After meeting with Wang Yuanyuan, Qiu Yonghao attempted several times to guess Long Haochens level of strength, but he didnt expect his cultivation to actually reach such a level. Not only was his spiritual energy below Haochens, but most of all the power of Haochens domain was just too terrifying. How could a domains power reach such an extent? Just by standing in his domain, his spiritual energy was entirely stripped and transferred to the domain, depriving him of even the ability to resist. Hes the God of Light inside his domain. Just what was the level of such a domain? There had never beenparable domains in humankinds history, and this domain was very clearly not only the bane of any light element powerhouse, but moreover had a very great level of power of its own. On the Knight Temples lounge, Chen Zidian had stood up at some point. Watching Long Haochen in the middle of the field, he couldnt help but reveal a smiling expression, Young boy, I really didnt expect you to even make me feel itchy. I really want to see the effects that your Light Domain would have if you faced me. Qiu Yonghao lost? So the head of the Warrior Temple and most powerful Wargod Qiu Yonghao really lost just like that? That exceedingly handsome young man just released his own domain, and then the head of the Warrior Temple was vanquished. Just what level of strength could aplish such a feat Long Tianying also stood up, filled with great shock upon looking at Long Haochen. Was that still a domain? As it is able to strip the power from any elemental beings, all light element powerhouses would simply be totally powerless inside. This seemed to be already beyond the level of a domain. Even as the Scion of Light, a gods chosen one, he shouldnt have such a light controlling ability. This seemed like something only the true Goddess of Light could achieve! But a god should be an unreal being, present at the same time on every corner of the world. Indeed, if Long Haochen was merely a gods chosen one, he couldnt possibly have such a domain. But he was no longer just a gods chosen one. His constitution having fused with the blood vessels of the Scion of Light Elux, he had managed to evolve to a new level. And after over four years of seclusion, hisrades and him made qualitative progress. And the one among them who made the greatest progress was indeed him. Long Haochens innate internal spiritual energy already broke past the limits to exceed a hundred and twenty. He did not have the physique of a Scion of Light anymore, but a physique like a God of Light. In other words, he would already be a half-god in some sense in a world of light essence. So, in just the abstract level, the current him had essentially risen to the same level of half-god as the Demon God Emperor, with only his cultivation being still far behind. The Holy Necromancer Elux left him a miracle, the miracle of light. Long Haochen slowly strolled forward, supporting Qiu Yonghao to stand up from the ground. Right now, Qiu Yonghao was already feeling his own spiritual energy replenish in the external world, but his shock was still just as present. Long Haochen showed a smile to him, If Temple Head Qiu has some interest, let us discuss regarding sword soul when we have the time. Qiu Yonghao showed a bitter smile, So what about that sword soul? Your domain It should rather be called the Light God Domain. I dont know how you aplished that, but I could feel that you are simply the ruler of light in your domain. Long Haochen smiled to him, Actually it is not as powerful as you imagine. Although my circumstances are extraordinary, this domain bestows me with a double-edged sword. Its light spiritual energy consumption is tenfold an ordinary domains: maintaining it for one second already depletes ten thousand of my spiritual energy. Qiu Yonghao did not expect Long Haochen to be so forting. Nodding to him, he responded, Lets have a talk after this Temples Great Gathering ends. Saying that, he turned back and left the site. Long Haochens smile was still the same, but he was slightly disappointed. From Qiu Yonghaos words was inferred that he did not want to them to have more contact until this Temples Great Gathering would end. In a sh, Long Haochen exited the space and picked up his gown, performing a knight salute in front of the Knight Temples crowd, before walking slowly back to Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks. This time, even Long Tianying did the same as the otherpetitors from the Knight Temple and saluted back. Even in his capacity as elder, Long Tianying was totally subdued by his grandsons strength. This battle between Long Haochen and Qiu Yonghaosted for a short time, but perspicacious people could all tell that Long Haochens ability had fully suppressed Qiu Yonghao. Be it in sword intent or elemental attribute, he had just restricted Qiu Yonghao far too much. The gap between the two of them was originally not that wide, but the superiority of Long Haochens attribute and domain enabled him to easily pick up this victory. Li Zhengzhis eyes were tranquill, sitting back on his seat. Shutting both his eyes, he seemed to be pondering calmly. Among thepetitors, Tan Wans look became really nk, her body shaking lightly. Right now, she felt unable to even express her feelings. _He is actually already so powerful? He already has the strength to vanquish a Temple Head._ And Qiu Yonghaos cultivation was certainly not rankedst among the heads of the Six Great Temples. At least the leader of the Knight Temple Long Tianying would not necessarily achieve victory against him if his Divine Throne wasnt added to the equation! But Long Haochen won just like that. Domain? Just what kind of domain was that? To have a domain of his own under the age of thirty. Could he really be the messenger of Heaven, sent to lead humankind in defeating demonkind? Even if she was the direct disciple of Li Zhengzhi, right now Tan Wans confidence was clearly quite a bit shaken. This battle naturally did not shock only her, but far too many other people had simr thoughts. A young man under the age of thirty who already had his own domain, and was powerful enough to make the head of the Warrior Temple stand no chance. Such a genius had never even appeared in the Temple Alliances History. The previous Scion of Samsara and Holy Sword Wielder seemed like nothing special in front of him. Perhaps he really would have the strength to challenge the Demon God Emperor in the near future. For a moment, the looks of some neutral higher-ups from the Temple Alliance at Bright Glimmer of Hope started to get fervent. No one else would believe this Demon Hunt Squad could possibly only be there to raise their own fighting experience. Thepetition went on, and the rest of the battles was still watched excitedly although shes between domains like the battle between Long Haochen and Qiu Yonghao had not appeared again. After all, people wielding a domain of their own were just too few. When the ny-fifth battle concluded, it was already deep night, and time hade for the results to be announced. Chen Zidians awe inspiring voice reverberated in the whole stadium, For the first day of the Temples Great Gathering, over ny matches have concluded. In result, the Knight Temple has twenty-four remaining people. Mage Temple, twenty-one. Spiritual Temple, sixteen. Assassin Temple, fourteen. Bright Glimmer of Hope, ten. Warrior Temple, ten. Now that the first rounds are over, total points will start to be counted from this point onwards. The results were like a lot of people expected, with the only added variable being the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. Dont make a hasty judgement just because Bright Glimmer of Hope is at the bottom alongside the Warrior Temple. Their splendor was far greater than all five Temples. Out of ten people, they had achieved ten victories, achieving a win rate of a hundred percent. What glorious results were these? In fact, the other Temples had thirty-six people in total originally, but even the most powerful Knight Temple only achieved a win-rate of two-thirds. The five participating Temples also set their eyes on the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope with great attention. They found out with shock that eight of the ten people forming this squad were actually powerhouses of the ninth step, the rest reaching the peak of the eighth step. And, among their ranks were five young knights: their leader Long Haochen, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi. Chapter 684 - Forbidden Spell! Dark Green Hades’ Spring (I)

Chapter 684: Forbidden Spell! Dark Green Hades Spring (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Without a doubt, these five were were known figures of the Knight Temples younger generation. Their appearance caused different degrees of changes on the people rather inclined toward the Mage Temple. With them back, who would dare affirm the Knight Temple didnt have a younger generation to keep them going on? Among these five young knights were three of the ninth step and two of the eighth step, with one in the lot with a domain of his own, and who had won against the head of the Warrior Temple. If their victorious battles were as representatives of the Knight Temple, what would havee of the Knight Temples rate of victory? Without doubt, some of the five would surely be Divine Knights of the new generation. And to the Knight Temple, having Divine Knights as leaders would make their superiority go on forever. Sima Xians great rudeness shocked a lot of people, but the most shocking was Long Haochens victory over Qiu Yonghao. Bright Glimmer of Hope and Long Haochens name were all engraved deeply in the midst of every higher-up of the Temple Alliance. Even the very weak masses were able to tell Long Haochens strength, since, after all, he won against the head of the Warrior Temple. Deep night. Outside the Alliances Great Stadium, a lot of spectators slept directly on the ground, because they wanted to keep their good seats for the next day, and had even brought along rations and water. This first day of the Temples Great Gathering already brought them countless great surprises. This one was really far more brilliant than the previous ones, especially for the appearance of these young powerhouses which raised the youngsters from Holy City into great excitations. This name of Bright Glimmer of Hope spread widely everywhere in the city, and to the whole Alliance, this Holy City being at its center. Slowly walking away from the Temples Great Gathering, Long Haochen and hisrades came out, heading for the headquarters of the Temple Alliance. After this day ofpetition, they could already no longer stay in hotels just like in the past, otherwise they wont possibly be at peace. Their resting ce became the Knight Temple instead. Long Tianying walked away from the stadium with arge smile on his face without waiting for the rest of the Golden Foundation Knights, a lot of peopleing up to him hastily. The fastest fastest to rush here was Li Xin. Before she could approach, a Golden Foundation Knight barred her way, but being a Mythril Foundation Knight, the Golden Foundation Knights all recognized her. Li Xin was furthermore one of the candidates for participation in the Temples Great Gathering. Before Li Xin even opened the door, Long Tianying nodded to her, Follow me. We areing as well. Two clear voices came out, Feng Linger and Ye Weiyang! Although Ye Weiyang did her best to stop her, in the end, that was not enough to persuade Feng Linger. The match having ended, Long Haochens crew left already, and since they had four knights in their team, the Knight Temples side was naturally the most probable ce for them to be staying. Long Tianying smiled to them, Its the two of you. Coming along then. Right after saying this, he unconsciously raised his head to see huge fiery-red spiritual wings vanish, as a figurended right in front of him, the auxiliary head of the Mage Temple, Lin Chen. Brother Long. Lin Chen performed a mage salute to Long Tianying. Long Tianyings gentleughter could be heard, So? Brother Lin also wants to return with me? Lin Chen had a pressing look, and was filled with excitement, but still shook his head and passed the words, Tell this bastard to go see me in a bit. Long Tianying chuckled in response, Alright. These little guys have really been missing for too long. I didnt expect to see such astonishing scenes today. Lin Chen wrinkled his brows, secretly thinking, _So you didnt know about their return? Yet you were very calm and collected at the time your grandson appeared. To keep me in the dark like that, Hmpf, lets fix this bastard in a bitter._ Sure enough, the Mage Temple and Knight Temple were inpetition, so he couldnt stay here for too long, Thanks a lot, Brother Long. Saying this, he kindly smiled Li Xin, Xiner, you dont need to give me any face, just fix him fiercely. After saying this, he saluted once again Long Tianying before turning back and leaving. Li Xin, Feng Linger and Ye Weiyang followed Long Tianying in the headquarters of the Alliance. Long Tianying dispersed the Golden Foundation Knights, then told the three, Follow me you three. They heard a warm voice resonate right after they entered the Knight Temples area of the Alliances headquarters. Sis! The cloak-less Long Haochen stood there, as if he had anticipated their arrival, with Lin Xin and Sima Xian standing behind him. Haochen! Hearing Long Haochen call Sis, Li Xin was unable to restrain her feelings and rapidly stepped up and took him tightly in her arms. Long Haochen considered Li Xin like his rted big sister so far. As the brother and sister hugged each other, Li Xin suddenly cried out very loudly. Behind her, Feng Linger and Ye Weiyang couldnt help but be red-eyed at this reunion. Seeing Feng Linger, Sima Xian immediately looked nk, shaking lightly despite how robust he was. But he made an unexpected move, not even speaking a word, but pursed his lips in an expectant manner. Feng Linger bit her own lips, dazedly looking at him, as words were squeezed out in the little space between her teeth, Si Ma Xian... Present. Sima Xian immediately stood straight, before rapidly takingrge strides toward Feng Linger. You, stand there! Feng Linger suddenly shouted, raising her hand to point at Sima Xian, shivering even more strongly. Sima Xian then stopped his advance, and softly said, Linger, I also want to hug you. Can we? You bastard! Feng Linger shouted once again. Sima Xian scratched his head, with a painful look on his face, I I am a bastard, its all my fault. Im in the wrong! Feng Lingers look suddenly became cold, looking at Sima Xian at three meters from him to coldly dere, Sima Xian, I havee today to tell you that its over between the two of us. I already have another man, so even if you darede back, dont ever bother me in the future. Let things be clear, I dont want to get involved with you any more. Saying all that, she pulled Ye Weiyangs hand and left. But in just a blink of an eye, tears flowed over her face. Being separated for so many years, she had had countless nightmares, especially after the Scarlet Dragon Armor was shattered. She had already lost count of the number of times her tears flowed through. Waiting in pain was always a torture, causing her far too much grievance! Beforeing here, she only felt happy and excited about returning to him, but when they really met, the grievance filling him was finally uncontroble, and caused her to blow out like that. Sima Xian became nk when looking at the rapidly departing Feng Linger, totally at a loss for a moment. Lin Xin kicked him from behind in the butt, Idiot, still not immediately chasing after her What are you standing foolishly for? Do you really want her to be gone?! Yeah, right. Good kick! Sima Xian immediately returned to his senses, his figure shing and chasing after Feng Linger and Ye Weiyang. He was already a powerhouse of the ninth step, making him fast enough to catch up to Feng Linger in just three steps. Grabbing her shoulder, he dim-wittedly dered, Im not letting you go. Feng Linger turned her head and fiercely looked him, I just said that I am breaking off our rtion! You wouldnt be forcing a girl to obey you, would you? Looking at her deep red, crying face, Sima Xian felt a sharp pain go up to him, and suddenly took her under his embrace in a tight hug. Even if I have to let you go. I dont care whether you have another man. If you have another man, I will just kill him and grab you back. If you have a child, then hes mine already, I will just kill the father and raise him as my own kid. You What are you saying... Feng Linger gritted her teeth and didnt know whether tough or to cry, scratching fiercely at his skin. Yet she kept hugging Sima Xian tightly, and didnt relinquish her grip no matter what she said. Seeing Sima Xians tyrannical deration, the nearby Ye Weiyang felt her flesh distorting, narrowly about tough it out. Whats that logic If shes already married, just kill the man and snatch the kid to raise it as your own What freaking logic was that? She was afraid that only this Sima Xian could say such a thing! But needless to say, Feng Linger was really serious. She was really inclined to an intrepid man such as Sima Xian, lying in his wide embrade and surrounded by his arms. Her reaction gradually became weaker, until ending just like Li Xin, crying loudly in Sima Xians arms, who became bewildered, but as he didnt dare release her, he could only console with clumsynguage. On the other side, Lin Xin had already moved closer to Long Haochen, patting him to remark, Hey Boss, thats my wife, shouldnt I be the one to hug her? Hearing him, Li Xin suddenly raised her head above Long Haochens embrace, and shouted in fury, Whos your wife? Dont you know abouting home? These years, you have not even sent a single piece of news. I have already been taking you for dead since long ago. Compared to Feng Lingers strong on the outside but soft on the inside character, Li Xin was exactly the opposite. Although Lin Xins return was a shocking surprise and excitement in her eyes, convincing her to forgive him would not be an easy thing. Long Haochen reported back to Li Xin in a soft voice, Sis, dont me Lin Xin. Its actually because of me, because of my mistaken decision that narrowly got us wiped out at the demons hands. Afterwards, we had an extraordinary stroke of luck and went into states of deep meditations. After awaking, four years had already passed. So its not that Lin Xin didnt want to contact you, but we really didnt have any such opportunities. Chapter 685 - Forbidden Spell! Dark Green Hades’ Spring (II)

Chapter 685: Forbidden Spell! Dark Green Hades Spring (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Li Xin had a start, looking far softer, but still disregarded Lin Xin and asked Long Haochen, Just what happened? Long Tianying, You cant be nning to talk out here? Just go in. As he said so, this Divine Knight stepped inside, leading the group into a conference room in the Knight Temple. The others from Bright Glimmer of Hope were all already waiting inside, and had all taken off their cloaks. Right now, Sima Xian had a really queer look. Still hugging Feng Linger yet far taller than her, he lifted her up above the ground all along their walk on the way there. Entering the meeting room, everyone couldnt help but reveal sniggering faces. Feng Linger became bashful, What are you waiting for to let go of me? Sima Xian resolutely replied, Im not letting you go. Isnt it just the others sneering? What if you run off after I let go of you? Ill have no more wife. Saying this, this guy took a chair and sat on it, cing Feng Linger on his knee, but not letting go of her no matter what shed say. Given his cultivation, Feng Linger couldnt possibly struggle out no matter how she tried. Little imagined was that Feng Linger actually really liked that wild type the most. Although bashful, she didnt resist, and buried her head on his thick shoulder, not daring to raise it. Long Haochen invited Long Tianying to sit on the main seat, then sat right across from Long Tianying, Sis, miss Weiyang, and miss Linger, on behalf of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, I would like to apologize about the matter of us having gone missing. Just as I said, everything is my own fault. Right now, Feng Linger and Li Xin were extremely stirred emotionally, so only Ye Weiyang was rather stable in the emotional aspect, looking at Long Haochen, Captain Long, I would be very curious to listen about the encounters you wound up having in demon territory, for you to have not returned for such a long time, and furthermore not even sent the slightest news. Looking at Caier on his side, Long Haochen unconsciously grabbed her small hand from below the table. Even if a long time had already passed since then, right now he still felt a deep lingering fear, not a fear of death, but a fear of losing Caier! At that time, he was just a bit close to losing Caier forever. We got caught in a trap of the Demon God Emperor Thus did Long Haochen start speaking about how they saved Yang Wenzhao from the Dragon River Demon God Asmodeus, and how he got informed of the Demon God Emperors n of surrounding them, as well as how the Demon God Emperors trap went step by step and in detail. At the time he mentioned his own heart being pierced by the Demon God Emperors attack, Li Xin and Ye Weiyang both couldnt help but cry out in rm. Even Feng Linger raised her head in shock from Sima Xians embrace. They were surprisingly caught by the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God altogether. Although Long Haochens description was quite stern, the three girls havinge across demons many times already, they could naturally imagine what kind of situation it was to be surrounded by the three greatest demon powerhouses in the midst of Modu Core City. Although I dont know why the Demon God Emperor was willing to spare myrades at the cost of my life, I knew at that time that my death was already settled. The Demon God Emperor abode by his promise, letting myrades get away from Modu while carrying my corpse. The,n in those years, we found out some remnants with great inheritance from ancient times deep inside. If we could get this inheritance, the hope of resurrecting me may appear, so everyone came across countless dangers for the sake of resurrecting me. After experiencing countless near-death experiences, they finally gained that inheritance, enabling the reconstrucion oft my heart, which is why I am standing in front of you right now. That power from ancient times left a massive power that we collectively went to absorb, as we trained in these remnants. But no one imagined that this seclusion would actually be a deep meditation of over four years. Us awaking was a matter of half a year ago. During these four years of deep meditations, we obtained a lot, and actually, we didnt really know how much time had passed since then, actually believing it to be just a few days. Everyone made immense qualitative progress in deep meditation, and made many advances in understanding. Never had we encountered such a crisis in this lifetime, so, in the following time, we kept training and raising our understanding and cultivation all along. This is why we managed to achieve such results in todays Temples Great Gathering. At the time we just came back, Lin Xin and Sima wanted to immediately look for you, but I was the one to stop them. You should also know that this Temples Great Gathering is special, and will very possibly be a turning point for the Alliance. There are some things we want from this gathering in the hopes of making the Alliance even more powerful in the future. So before it started, I made them endure patiently. The fault is mine, so I hope you could forgive them. Also, I want to thank you on behalf of our Demon Hunt Squad, Bright Glimmer of Hope, for having waited for them. It is surely the greatest bliss of their life for them to have found lovers such as you. Saying that, Long Haochen stood once again and respectfully bowed to the three girls. Although Long Haochens story was counted as of nothing special, but three girls felt very exhausted just from listening, finding it to be quite thrilling. They were really very close to not having made it back! By this time, given Feng Lingers delicate character, she had already no more fury filling her. Holding Sima Xians hand, she had a very warm gaze, only thinking, _The most important is that youre back._ Li Xins face was also greatly eased, and Lin Xin immediately tried to take advantage of that and sat beside her. Ye Weiyang stood up and nodded to Long Haochen, I feel very lucky about having gotten to listen to the experience Captain Long and the others went through; you are heroes for the Alliance! It looks like Linger is not willing to follow me out, and you should have more matters to discuss, so, I am leaving first, goodbye. Long Haochen had a sudden thought and told Han Yu, Please send off Miss Weiyang. Yes. Han Yu epted and invited Ye Weiyang to the exit, showing the way for her to go. Long Haochen asked Feng Linger, Miss Linger, can you please answer a question for me? Feng Linger nodded. Right now, Sima Xian saw that she couldnt run off anymore, which is why he ced her on the adjacent seat. Still, his hand was drawn toward her waist, though this bald priest didnt have any more of his previous agressiveness, with just a happy smirk left on his face. Long Haochen asked, Does Miss Weiyang happen to have already a lover? Feng Linger was startled, Whats that about? Dont you already have her? She pointed at Caier. Caierughed in response, Hes not asking for his own sake, but for Han Yu, who just sent off Miss Weiyang back here. Speaking of which, the only single person left in the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was Han Yu. Even Duan Yi who was temporarily added to their team had a childhood sweetheart as his wife. Before they went missing, Duan Yi was already married to her. Only, his wife was just amoner and not a practitioner. This time, Duan Yi specially went to visit his wife and report his well-being before they returned to the Holy City. As the captain, Long Haochen was of course concerned with the members important issues. Han Yu had a steady character, be it in behavior and appearance or ability, all of which were top-notch. However, as a Demon Hunter, he never had the opportunity to discover those feelings. Now that they reached the ninth step of cultivation, their abilities of self preservation in the battlefield were greatly enhanced, so Long Haochen naturally became concerned with finding a close female friend for him. The group came into contact with Ye Weiyang several times already. This girl was not only beautiful, but also very capable. The Alliances Great Auction House was neatly managed in her hands, while Feng Linger only had some important decisions to handle. More importantly, Ye Weiyang was the sessor of the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang. All of this added up would naturally make it a very good thing if they could act as a matchmaker for Han Yu. Hearing Caier say this much, Feng Lingers eyes immediately lit, Big sis Weiyang has a very great foresight, and remained unmarried for so long. I just dont know whether that knight from your ranks will be able to move her heart. Long Haochen smiled at her, Then please help us pull strings. I can see that Miss Weiyang and you are very close. If she also can be one of the family member for our Bright Glimmer of Hope, wont the two of you be even more intimately rted? Let me give you a little leak; after this Temples Great Gathering terminates, we will immeidately proceed for the Knights Sacred Mountain, where, given Han Yus strength, he will very possibly be able to obtain a Divine Thrones approval. I think that a Divine Knight should be a good match for Miss Weiyang right? Feng Lingers eyes shed in understanding, It surely is a good match! But Captain Long, are you maybe nning on invading our Alliances Great Auction House! Or do you have some other goals? Long Haochen replied with a faint smile, I will let Sima exin everything to you secretly. Of course, we hope to obtain the backing of your Alliances Great Auction House, but I believe that this will only bring benefit to the future of the auction house. Although Long Tianying was seated on the main seat, he did not speak a word from beginning to end, only looking at his grandson. Returning after over four years, Long Haochen not only looked more calm and reserved than in the past, but had gained an indescribably great presence. Looking at his warmth, he gave off the feeling of being in the right when discussing. This was really a kind of extraordinary trait, a kings bearing. When dawn came once again, the second day of the Temples Great Gathering opened its curtains. The contestants eliminated in the previous days were all sent to the spectator lounge. Only the contestants that made it to the second round remained in thepetition area. For the sake of simplifying their entrance to the venue, the group of Bright Glimmer of Hope sat directly across the space allocated to the Knight Temple, but this action also caused the expression of the Mage Temples Head Li Zhengzhi to look very much unsightly. Chapter 686 - Forbidden Spell! Dark Green Hades Spring (III)

Chapter 686: Forbidden Spell! Dark Green Hades Spring (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Today, a total of ny-five people were assembled, gathered for random individual battles. After all, luck would always be a part of ones strength. After that round of drawing, forty-eight contestants would pass through the third stage, resulting in a continuation of the knock-outpetition, until a top three was established. The top three will be offered two choices: either to end normally and just keep all their previous total points, or to keep undergoing battles, where the final winners would get rewarded with an extra ten total points. Out of a total of three battles, if someone manages to win against the other two and end up number one, this one would get an extra twenty points. Thepetition restarted, and the first appearance of the light of selection picked a member of Bright Glimmer of Hope right off the bat. Today, they had all removed their cloaks, and the one the light of selection had picked was actually Caier. The other one to be selected was quite coincidentally from the nearby Assassin Temple, the elder chief of the Assassin Temple, wielder of the Twelve Spaces Domain, Xue Zhisheng. Caiers face of absolute beauty immediately got strange. A short time ago, she had just won a battle against this Xue Zhisheng, and although she didnt achieve final victory, her domain ability Flourishing Lotus Flower caused Xue Zhisheng to concede. Who would have thought that she would once again have to face this elder chief of her Temple. In a sh of her figure, she entered the stadium, but without giving Caier the time to prepare her moves, Xue Zhisheng on the other side did not even enter the stadium, his aged voice immediately heard reverberating through the whole stadium. I concede. These words raised an uproar among all spectators. Xue Zhisheng was a veteran of the Assassin Temple, the current number one expert in their Temple. Although his seniority was not on the terrifying level of the legendary Chen Zidian, he was even a generation higher than the Temple Head Sheng Yue. What had just happened for him to cower without even giving a fight? Li Zhengzhi finally couldnt bear it anymore, Chief referee, this is the Temples Great Gathering, not a childs y. Auxiliary Temple Head Sanshui just conceded yesterday, and today its Xue Zhisheng from the Assassin Temple, all of whom are peak powerhouses of their own Temple. Whats the meaning of our Temples Great Gathering if such situations keep uring in the rest of thepetition? On the Knight Temples lounge, Chen Zidians voice spread, Please give your reasons, auxiliary heads. Sanshui, elder Xue, I need a reason for your choices of conceiding. Sanshui Popo, having a fearless character, let out a cold snort and dered to Li Zhengzhi, Temple Head Li, you are too meddlesome. I had only one reason for conceding, and its that Im no match for Chen Yinger. Shes my grandson, so we have already had matches before. Thats all. Xue Zhisheng dered indifferently, My situation is the same as Sanshui. Not long ago, I have sparred with Miss Caier, and lost. As I dont want to get dishonored once again, I chose to concede. Chief referee, will such reasons do? For the powerhouses of the present age, face is frequently even more important than their lives. For Sanshui Popo and Xue Zhisheng to dere that they were not matches for Chen Yinger and Caier immediately raised another uproar. The already highly valued the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope once again rose winds and waves. Sanshui Popo was one thing as, after all, she had only just recently broken through the ninth step, but Xue Zhisheng was the number one powerhouse in the Assassin Temple, wielder of the Twelve Spaces Domain! For him to dere being no match for a member of this Demon Hunt Squad immediately ced its position to an unprecedented level. Li Zhengzhis face looked feverish, but he didnt have anything good to respond to that, his unspoken grievance still unsettled. Chen Zidian dered, Since things are like that, let thepetition follow its course. If there are some other acts of conceding in the following course of the battles, you must speak out the reasons immediately from now on, or some points will be deducted from your own Temples total. Shockingly, the light of selection once again lit a member of Bright Glimmer of Hope, being this time Wang Yuanyuan. The other side selected by the light was Tan Wan, who had barely won yesterday. Tan Wan was after all very young, so her cultivation was definitely among thest of thepetitors from the Mage Temple. On the previous day, it was by relying on some extraordinary magic taught by Li Zhengzhi that she defeated her opponent with difficulty, making it to the second round. Wang Yuanyuan was d in white attire, her short hair flourishing with heroic spirit. Her slender figure and great beauty were immediately noticed as she entered the stadium. If one were to look carefully, they would discover that Wang Yuanyuans eyes were clearly different from before, her pupils now being purple colored. Facing the clearly even younger Wang Yuanyuan, Tan Wan had a stubborn look. _How can they all have such transcending abilities for their ages? I must defeat her at any cost._ d in a green gown, Tan Wans spiritual wings immediately spread out and pped up, rising straight to the air, she made a turn in midair, causing countless tiny wind des to get released. Her sharp incantation resounded like a torrential storm, causing green light to shine upon half of the stadium. Fantastic changes started to take ce on the tiny green des of light, revolving around Tan Wangs body, and getting faster and faster, with even more green lighting off at lightning speed from Tan Wans body. Wang Yuanyuan also moved; she did not release her spiritual wings, but went for Tan Wan inrge strides. Her pink eyes gradually deepened to suddenly turn into a dark red color, giving off a strange and oppressive sight. Spurts of blood seemed to frequentlye from her eyes. The Alliances Great Stadium being so wide, Wang Yuanyuan would need at least half a minute to get to Tan Wans range. But she wasnt hurried in the slightest, appearing to let Tan Wan disy the best of her magic. On the Mage Temples side, Li Zhengzhis look became even more unsightly. Although Wang Yuanyuan had yet to make a move, from her performance in the battle of the previous day, Li Zhengzhi knew that she was a powerhouse of the ninth step. Wang Yuanyuans previous opponent was a knight, and the two parties crossed hands for not even two minutes before that knight got defeated by Wang Yuanyuans powerful spatial powers. And, at that time, Wang Yuanyuan had immediatelyunched an attack right from the start, totally unlike today. Her current doing was visibly to make a show for the Mage Temple to see. _W_ _hat if you reach the ninth step? My personally created magic is something even someone at the ninth step may not necessarily win against, whenunched at fullpower._ The look in Li Zhengzhis eyes flickered, unconsciously facing Long Haochen seated in the middle of the Knight Temples area. Long Haochen was clearly very calm, sitting upright yet releasing a very warm manner, just like any other more normal young man. But Li Zhengzhi felt deeply that such a young man was affecting his ns to an enormous degree. Tan Wans chant started to get more and more high pitched. These chanting patterns were quite rare, because, during magic incantation, no mistake in tone was allowed, thus limiting ones chanting speed. So a rapid chant such as hers would very possibly result in failed magic. Her current chant also seemed quite different from ordinary spells. This incantation was personally created by Li Zhengzhi. Being the most outstanding genius the Mage Temple had in a thousand years, Li Zhengzhibined some ancient incantation with personalprehension to create an extraordinary magic spell chant. Back in the days, the reason why he took Tan Wan as a disciple was that Tan Wan couldprehend this incantation. Those small wind des surrounding Tan Wan immediately turned green, entirely masking her body and making it look unclear. The wind des stopped increasing after reaching a certain number, but became more and more brightly colored. One could faintly see green electric light coil around those wind des, as Tan Wans incantation elerated to its peak. HaC Right when Wang Yuanyuan was at fifty meters from Tan Wan, she issued a reverberating shriek, and immediately, those green wind des surrounding her in buzzing sounds immediately transformed into a whirlpool of three meters diameter and five meters length, rushing straight to Wang Yuanyuans location. All could tell that they were in no way ordinary whirlpools. Each of the small wind des forming them was infused with the might of Spiritual Hignd! After chanting this incantation, Tan Wan dropped from the sky, looking pale, and, her body swelling, nearly fell to the ground. From this could be seen that this previous magic had just depleted nearly all her spiritual energy. Tan Wan did not even expect herself to actually be able toplete this spell. The greatest feature of this spell was tobine both offense and defense: if the enemy were to attack in the midst of her chant, the first of the wind des would protect her automatically by attacking the enemies, while her chant would keep going on as long as the enemy does not pass through the magic. This spell already reached the forbidden spell grade. For Tan Wan to actually manage to use such a wind elemental forbidden spell without the boost of any attached equipment was more than prideful enough. Li Zhengzhi gave this magic a really domineering name, calling it Dark Green Hades Spring; it was full of destructive power against both single and multiple targets. From Tan Wans spell came out Li Zhengzhis ferociousness. Mages of the same grade would hardly be able to utilize such terrifying magic. Facing Dark Green Hades Spring, Wang Yuanyuan stopped her advance, making an iprehensible move by raising her right hand and putting her forefinger, middle finger and ring finger in contact with the space between her eyebrows, as she shut both her eyes. Chapter 687 - Blood Domain and Domain of Extreme Cold (I)

Chapter 687: Blood Domain and Domain of Extreme Cold (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The forbidden spell Green Hades Spring about to arrive in front of Wang Yuanyuan produced a massive attraction, and pulling Wang Yuanyuan to its direction. Wang Yuanyuan seemed as though she didnt even see that forbidden spell, still standing motionless, with her three fingers at the same position. Tan Wans look changed, because she understood clearly the might of this forbidden spell. More importantly, it could only be released and not retrieved, as her cultivation was far from sufficient to achieve such control. In case Wang Yuanyuan really died in front of her forbidden spell, that would not only incur an unredeemable grudge between the Mage Temple and Bright Glimmer of Hope, but also make her a criminal. After all, the Mage Temple and Bright Glimmer of Hope were no more thanpetitors, with everyone having a mutual enemy in demonkind. She neither did she have any thoughts of killing someone from Bright Glimmer of Hope, but because their disys of power were too overbearing, she had to liberate her greatest magic right at the start. But now that Dark Green Hades Well had already engulfed Wang Yuanyuan, it was already toote to have second thoughts. Suddenly, an intense bloody red fog abruptly came off Wang Yuanyuan as its center and dispersed, instantly sweeping her body along, and spreading outwards at a frightening speed, shing against the Dark Green Hades Spring. Dark Green Hades Spring was dark green colored, and this bloody red bright fog was scarlet colored, forming two opposite forces. A shocking scene urred: that bloody red fog pushed it back, but that was still a perilous situation. An intense bloodreek filled the air instantly, as a red light forcibly enveloped the Dark Green Hades Spring. A terrible murderous spirit surged out and filled the air as a red glow suddenly bubbled forth. That dark red radiance was fully buried in the midst of the surges of blood, and one could only see the blood fog rush out and expand, filling the whole stadium with the color of blood in just a little while. Li Zhengzhis face froze. A domain, that was clearly the power of a domain. So, how many more other than Long Haochen actually wielded domains in this Bright Glimmer of Hope? If what Xue Zhisheng said before was for real, that Saint Daughter of Samsara was bound to wield a domain too. That already made a total of three domains. Even the Temples had only three domain wielders each, no more. For the Demon Hunt Squad Bright to have such strength, they were already drawing near a legendary Demon Hunt Squad like the Demon God yers. And they were yet so young. Right, this expanse of blood red was Wang Yuanyuans domain, that she named Blood Domain. In terms of innate talent, Wang Yuanyuan was surely the least in the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, but her willpower and determination matched even Long Haochen and Caier, and in some fields she was even more perseverant. Precisely because of herck of innate talent to match herrades, Wang Yuanyuan invested even more effort. She was the one to invest herself the most of the team in the two years of Holy War, and also the one to ughter the most. She forced her way through this road of ughter to find her own style. In the Tower of Eternity, when her seven spatial crystals summoned the true might of the Divine Soul Shield, the ebulition of her blood vessels caused that bloodreeking ughter aura to integrate her body, fixing the basis of her understanding of the Blood Domain. After four years of deep meditation, Wang Yuanyuan gained deep foundations, not only breaking through the ninth step, but also bing the fourth domain wielder of the group after Long Haochen, Caier, and Chen Yinger, surpassing Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfangs attainments to be the fourth strongest powerhouse of the team. In front of Tan Wan, she had no need for her domains power at all, but Long Haochen told his team before thepetition that this Temples Great Gathering was a time to disy their strength. So, they absolutely had to show all higher-ups of the Temple Alliance their powerfulness, so that their ns could keep getting carried out. Therefore, Wang Yuanyuan chose to disy the use of her domain right after seeing that the opponent was someone from the Mage Temple. Dark Green Hells Spring was certainly powerful, but if Li Zhengzhi were to make use of it inbination with his domain, Wang Yuanyuan would surely not be able to block it by the sheer use of her domain, but, after all, Tan Wan reached only the eighth step, so her control over the forbidden spell was really insufficient. In the end, it disappeared, submerged in the midst of that domain of bloothirty ughter, turning into nothingness. As the blood light vanished, Wang Yuanyuan didnt even nce at Tan Wan, and turned back to leave the field. Her domain havinge out, the oue was already fixed. The Temples Great Gathering became once again submerged in silence by Bright Glimmer of Hope. Everyone there witnessed that the strength of all their members truly was befitting the strength of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. The second round continued without the half with the lower cultivation. In this second round, over three quarters of the contestants were powerhouses of the ninth step. But even so, at the time the second round ended, Bright Glimmer of Hope achieved the proud result of nine victories, with only Duan Yi losing at Sheng Yues hands. After the second round terminated, some changes happened in the proportions; the Knight Temples dominance was globally a bit fainter. The Knight Temple had only eleven people left by the third round, having gotten thirteen of their members eliminated. The Mage Temple had ten, Bright Glimmer of Hope had nine, the Spiritual Temple had seven, the Assassin Temple had six, and the Warrior Temple only had five left. Changes happened regarding the umtions of points as well. After the victors of the second round all gained two points, added up to the first rounds total points, the Knight Temple was still number one with forty-six points, the Mage Temple being second with forty-one points, the Spiritual Temple was third with thirty points, Bright Glimmer of Hope fourth with twenty eight points, the Assassin Temple fifth with twenty-six and finally came the Warrior Temple with twenty points. For the ten members of Bright Glimmer of Hope to achieve the fourth rank by the end of the second rounds proved their power plentifully. Moreover, the aplishments in cultivation on the side of Long Haochens group would clearly make them shine even further on in theter stages, so the individual counts were still pretty hard to predict. The second rounds were over by noon, but the third rounds would start immediately, without the slightest time allocated for rest. The previous two rounds of individual battle were mostlypeting for the Temples strength as a whole, but from the third round onwards, the individual capabilities of their powerhouses would be ounted. Upon victory, everyone would get at least four points in total. A total of twenty-four battles would be undergone in the third round, involving forty-eight people, and resulting in earth-shattering battles. The first two lights of selections picked the leaders of the Mage Temple and Knight Temple, Li Zhengzhi and Long Tianying. But to the great shock of the public, this battle onlysted for an extraordinarily short time, merely five minutes. Li Zhengzhi made use of his powerful Wind God Domain and formidable magic power to defeat Long Tianying, making a mighty disy of power on the Mage Temples side. Watching this battle, Long Haochen was also shocked, because, despite knowing that his grandfather would certainly be no match for Li Zhengzhi, he didnt think he would lose so fast. Li Zhengzhis control over light essence reached an abnormal level, and furthermore, Long Tianying was a Divine Knight without the boost from his Divine Throne, which reduced his strength by over half, otherwise, maybe he could have put up a fight. The chief of the Knight Temple getting defeated by the third round was something that had not happened for the past several hundred years. Long Tianying showed a terribly unsightly face, but had no choice but to ept this as a matter of fact. Li Zhengzhis power was admirable since the first round. To have made it through the third round, only true elites of the five Temples were left, so thepetition turned to a white-hot level. Although Yang Wenzhao had achieved victory on the second round, he had given all he had by relying on his Starlight Unicorns domain boost to barely defeat a warrior of the ninth step. But on the third round, his strength still being far from recovered, he became the second eliminated member of Bright Glimmer of Hope. With Yang Wenzhaos elimination a great disy of individual power on the side of Bright Glimmer of Hope started. In the fifth match, Chen Yinger had as her opponent the auxiliary head of the Mage Temple, Lin Xins grandfather, Lin Chen. On the previous day, Lin Xin had already gone to see Lin Chen, but they didnt discuss for too long, before Lin Chen rushed back, not even telling Lin Xin much, apart from admonishing him to take good care of Li Xin. When Lin Xin talked about that with Long Haochen, thetter understood that Lin Chens attitude was due to the sensitive position of the Mage Temple in this Temples Great Gathering. As an auxiliary head of the Mage Temple, he was not allowed to tell too much to his grandson who was part of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Right now, he didnt expect to have to face Chen Yinger in thepetition. Lin Chen obviously wouldnt concede simply on ount of her rtionship with his grandson. With Li Zhengzhi and the powerhouses from the Mage Temple watching from behind, he had to give his all. Grandpa Lin, no need to hold back against me. Chen Yinger saluted Lin Chen with a natural smile on her face. Lin Chen only bowed slightly to her, and didnt say much, immediately creating an orange fireball atop his head with a wave of his right hand. Lin Chen being a fire mage, although he didnt have the same exceptional Heart of Fire as his grandson, had the number one attainments in fire magic in the whole Mage Temple. He had been unable to break through the ninth step for reasons of innate talent, but in terms of researches on fire magic, Lin Chen put efforts throughout his whole life, his son and daughter-inw having even deceased in the midst of this path! Chapter 688 - Blood Domain and Domain of Extreme Cold (II)

Chapter 688: Blood Domain and Domain of Extreme Cold (II)

Trantor: GravityTales An orange fireball floated out like an ardent sun, illuminating Lin Chen under its orange color. His downcast chant was almost inaudible, and an intense orange me was shot from the the orange fireball atop of his head to Chen Yingers direction. In the candidates area of the Spiritual Temple, Chen Hongyu stood up straight, looking ardently at the field and cursing silently, This crappy old Lin Chen is truly fierce! To actually use up Sacred Sun Curse right off the bat. Sacred Sun Curse was Lin Chens powerful personally-created magic. A lot of powerhouses would find it hard to raise their cultivation further after reaching bottlenecks. Unless they had fabulous encounters, even making breakthroughs past a certain point would hardly happen in their whole lifetime. In such circumstances, they would frequently put efforts into developing self-created abilities for the sake of seeking an even greater strength. A mage was particrly fitted to that, because differentbinations of a single element would produce different degrees of might depending on a lot of variables. Lin Chen was excellent in this field. He didnt think that he would achieve some breakthroughs due to several near death experiences in the Holy War, before which he had already been struggling on the peak of the eighth step for nearly forty years. In those past forty years, his main object of research was this Sacred Sun Curse. With his strength having risen to the ninth step, this auxiliary head of the Mage Temple wasnt to be underestimated for having no domain of his own. The great might he could unleash through Sacred Sun Curse caused his strength to shoot up, making him one of the best powerhouses in the Mage Temple. Sacred Sun Curse integrated some of his male energy to form a fire. Back in the day, it was in the research and training of Sacred Sun Curse that his father lost his life in an ident, igniting his fire of life beyond his own control causing the tragic death of a married couple caught in the magical bacsh. Lin Xin having an innate hatred toward this Sacred Sun Curse, how could he ever agree to learn it? It even caused him to refuse learning any offensive magic. Although he decided to train in offensive magic for Li Xins sake afterwards, he still rejected Sacred Sun Curse, making Lin Chen the only wielder of Sacred Sun Curse, reaching top-level attainments in that field. The orange mes flew outwards, causing massive twists to the air, rippling all around, and causing the temperature in the stadium to shoot up abruptly, as well as causing the multicolored light in the barrier to rise violently. Chen Yingers look changed greatly, as she didnt expect Lin Chen tounch such a rapid magic offense, producing such a great might. A little transparent pig hopped from Chen Yinger chest, McDull. Compared to the past, there were quite significant changes in his strength. His volume remained the same, as if unable to ever grow further, but his skin had be as sparkling as a crystal, and his pair of small eyes shone bright like diamonds. As his body leapt up, a series of sparkling streams of air glowed behind his back. Rising in the air, McDulls four limbs made an extending motion and caused a miraculous scene. That small and cute pig erged abruptly in the next instant, turning into a gigantic ck dragon, spitting a deep ck breath at Lin Chens Sacred Sun Curse. This a Devil Dragon McDulls transformation shocked all the powerhouses from the Six Great Temples. Devil Dragons were the Demon God Emperors kin, so how could a summoner have such a summoned beast? And moreover, such summoning speed could only mean that it was a contracted beast. Two powerful forces of ck and orange color shed violently, immediately causing the two users to get repelled backwards just from the terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy. Chen Yinger lifted up both her hands, as her clear incantation reverberated in the air. The breath of the Devil Dragon suffered slight losses against Sacred Sun Curse, but still managed to resist. McDulls massive wings pped strongly, as he threw himself fiercely at Lin Chen. Lin Chen was also shocked at the sight of a Devil Dragon, but his fighting experience being plentiful, he didnt cower in shock. Pointing a finger of his right hand, the Sacred Suns radiance atop his head erged greatly, abruptly releasing an orange htion which shed with the iing McDull. The Devil Dragons massive figure was unexpectedly pushed away under these orange htions effects.To ones shock, with Lin Chens muffled cast, an orange dragon head came out from the Sacred Sun, spitting a gold-red fire at the Devil Dragon. This gold-red me only had the thickness of a human hand, contracting greatly from the huge orange dragon head from which it came out. However, upon release it caused the temperature in the whole stadium to soar up instantly, filling the air in the area inside the barrier with river-like ripples as even the ground boiled like magma. From this could be seen the glowing extent of the gold-red mes. McDull visibly hesitated in front of a fire of this level, his massive figureing to a standstill in midiar. A dark purple radiance kept seeping out from his thick scales, gathering swiftly to the top of his head to form a dark red bead to block the dark-red fire. Sacred Sun Curse, _Bang._ In midair, the dark purple bead McDull released broke down instantly, as the gold-red mes passed through. But, the ruptured bead also dispersed powerful dark purple waves, isting it from the high temperature. Li Chens body dazzled slightly as his chanting speed became visibly quite slower. But McDull, who had to confront the dark-red mes alone, smashed far away, his body continuously dispersing a dark purple radiance to dissolve the gold-red mes. Huh? Seeing this scene, Long Haochen was shocked and couldnt help but nce over in Lin Xins direction. The Devil Dragon McDull transformed into was surely not a genuine Devil Dragon, but had some of its basic abilities, being a true powerhouse of the ninth step! But in front of Lin Chen, he had already lost all fighting abilities in a short span of time. This was by no way a strength that a junior mage of the ninth step should possess. Lin Xin showed a bitter smile, Sacred Sun Curse is the crystallisation of the research made throughout all grandpas life. Although it is not a domain, it can to some extent match a domain,bining three fires at once to unleash a fire mages might to the greatest extent. Long Haochen nodded, Looks like this battle will be quite a trial for Yinger. In a battle between a summoner and a mage, the contest should be based on the parties cultivations and casting speed. But Lin Chen relied on his incantation method Saint Yang to not only make his chanting speed very fast, but also greatly boost his magic power. That golden fire even exceeded Long Haochens Heart of Fire in temperature. In innate talent and luck, Lin Xin by far surpassed his grandfather, but there was still quite a gap in their knowledge on fire. Inside the stadium, after Lin Chen released his golden red mes, his offense got slightly slower, but the distant Chen Yinger alreadypleted her first summoning magic. A white hexagram appeared on her body, and a long dragon cry reverberated immediately, as out came a dragon over ten meters long. In volume, this Ice Dragon was below the Devil Dragon McDull transformed into, as it looked like a juvenile dragon. But it wasnt any Earth Dragon or subdragon, but a true dragon from Shengmo Dalu. All summoners from the Spiritual Temple seeing this scene all felt great degrees of excitement. To summon a gigantic dragon was the greatest glory for a summoner, even if it was a juvenile dragon. Summoners generally had two categories of summoning magic. One kind was the summoning of living creatures from other nes, which would either die or return to their ne after the battle. Then a future summon would basically never call an already summoned magical beast. Then another kind was a summon by kind. After concluding a pact, a summoner could absolutely not let the summoned beast die lightly, because that beast would grow in strength alongside its summoner. Although their degrees of intimacy couldnt match contracted beasts, these pacted beasts could be called part of the summoners strength. A basis of the difference in strength between summoners was their numbers of pacted beasts. So the death of a pacted beast would be a considerable blow to the summoner. Generally, summoners could get a pacted beast at every supplementary step of cultivation. Although they werent summons requiring no chanting time like contracted beasts, they were quite faster to summon than ordinary summons of the same grade. From Chen Yingers previous incantation duration, summoners all understood that this juvenile Ice Dragon was actually a pacted beast. What they didnt know was that this Ice Dragon was the first beast which had concluded a pact with Chen Yinger. Since she was not able to use any summoning magic before reaching the seventh step, she had to bear without making any beast contracts. After reaching the seventh step, she always remained in the Spiritual Temple, where she achieved her awakening as the Saint Spiritual Girl. Then, when following Long Haochen back into deep demon territory, her strength kept rising, but she didnt have any contract from beginning to end. When they departed from the Tower of Eternity, Chen Yingers cultivation had already attained the ninth step, so she found this juvenile Ice Dragon thanks to her special connections as the Saint Spiritual Girl, and concluded her first pact. And this was, right now, the first time for this Ice Dragon to fight for Chen Yinger. Actually, Chen Yinger had already suffered quite a loss against Lin Chen, having not summoned an Ice Dragon first, but her own self-created six Earth Dragons able to release the Elemental Cage. From her view, McDulls transformation into Devil Dragon would at least resist in front of Lin Chens attacks for a certain time, making Lin Chens loss inevitable in front of her Elemental Cage. Chapter 689 - Domains of Blood and Extreme Cold (III)

Chapter 689: Domains of Blood and Extreme Cold (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Against her expectations, Lin Chens Saint Sun Curse was just too powerful, to the extent that McDull would only be able to resist two rounds before suffering a painful defeat. This forced Chen Yinger to change her incantation to call out the Ice Dragon to battle in the shortest time, adapting her tactics to Lin Chens great power. Otherwise, with Lin Chens follow-up attack, she was afraid to be unable even toplete her next incantation. As the Saint Spiritual Girl, Chen Yinger needed a far shorter time for her incantations than ordinary people, requiring only about three seconds to chant a pacted beasts summon, which is how she managed to call out this Ice Dragon so fast. In over four years of seclusion, Chen Yinger gained a lot of understanding regarding summons, but did not perform any more Spirit Bestowals other than the six Heart Dragons. Thats because she sensed that Spirit Bestowal showed even greater effects with McDull and her pacted beast, causing a lot of fantastic variation. The Ice Dragon howled upon appearance, spreading out both its wings to protect Chen Yinger behind its back, while releasing an icy-blue breath at Lin Chen. Lin Chens face fell. Naturally, he didnt believe that defeating McDull would achieve victory against Chen Yinger, as this young girl showed her ability as a Spirit Master of the ninth step in the previous match, very capable in summoning magical beasts, her previous Creature Summoning Gate having caused the surge of myriads of beasts, making it very hard to resist. This was also why he utilized Sacred Sun Curse right off the bat, because he couldnt let Chen Yinger unleash her might to make use of her summoning magic to the greatest extent. The gold-red dragon head was still growing out from the Saint Sun, when it finished gathering its power and released another gold-red breath with the same thickness, passing through the vast sky instantly to shoot straight at the Ice Dragon. The gap of strength between the Ice Dragon and Saint Sun was visible to everyone inside the hot stadium. Only the areas surrounding Chen Yinger and the Ice Dragon were not affected by the heat dispersed by the Saint Sun Fire Dragon which caused all the areas to feel boiling hot. Without a doubt, the Saint Sun Fire Dragon was much stronger, and furthermore, Lin Chens incantation was still ongoing. No one knew what would be the next move for him tobine with Saint Sun Curse, but everyone predicted that it would in no way be weak. The battle havinge to this stage, Chen Yinger was in an extremely disadvantageous position. God Descent, Myriad Beast Rank Rise! Chen Yinger had a tenacious look; dont underestimate her for ordinarily being very yful, as a matter of fact, Yingers a verypetitive person. Yang Wenzhao having washed out, she would by no means permit herself to get eliminated like that Chen Yingers body suddenly produced milky-white drizzles, and immediately, a great illusory image lifted itself off her back. That silhouette seemed to be human shaped, but the instant it appeared, the whole stadium started reverberating with astonishing sounds of beasts roars. What a spectacr scene! Even just these sounds caused Lin Chens body to sway, and affected the Saint Sun Dragon as well. Two drizzling radiances were emitted from Chen Yingers body, one of whichnded on the distant McDull, who was resisting the Saint Sun mes, and the other one on the Ice Dragon right in front of her. Immediately, fantastic scenes surged out. What came to sight first was this gigantic Ice Dragon in front of Chen Yinger. It instantly swelled, her ice-blue attack turning entirely white. A drizzling white ice fog covered a half of the stadium in the blink of an eye, the Ice Dragon suddenly shooting up to a length of over thirty meters. Its breath forcibly stopped the Saint Sun Dragons mes, ice and gold-red interweaving and causing a disruption. This was already the appearance of an adult Ice Dragon! The powerhouses in the Spiritual Temple were all dumbstruck at this scene. As far as they remembered, there had never been a summoning spell enabling instantly raising an infant magical beast to adulthood, causing it to rise to its adult strength! On the other side, McDull who received the boost from the white glow released by Chen Yinger also sustained massive changes. His body abruptly inted by close to twice, turning into a gigantic ck dragon over thirty meters long, letting out low roars while releasing its dark-purple-colored darkness spiritual energy which corroded the Saint Sun me at great speed. Shockingly, McDull let out another long cry, its ck body rapidly turning white. Numerous changes continued to appear, until it transformed instantly into an adult Ice Dragon pping its both wings to fly toward Chen Yinger, and released a breath toward the distant Lin Chen. This is... Shapeshift? The summoners all watched the battle before their eyes dumbstruck! Even the most experienced summoners were in deep shock; Chen Yingers summoning magics were something they had never seen or heard about before! What were those abilities? The appearance of a second Ice Dragon caused Lin Chens look to change greatly. Facing one adult Ice Dragon was already very tough, so with this second one here, his Saint Sun Fire would hardly keep its advantage. Chen Yinger kept the sameplexion as she kept chanting. Without the boost from her Saint Spiritual Dress, her magic force was limited, but never forget that shes the first Spiritual Saint Daughter to have ever appeared in the past several thousand years in the Spiritual Temple. The huge figure on her back was the Gods Descent of the Beast God. After over four years of deep meditation, Chen Yinger came to choose her own path: just like Lin Xin went for the path simplifyingplex magic and Sima Xian went for a berserk fighting style, her path was a perfect integration of the Beast Gods abilities. Those two white glows were from her domain which was created from fusing her Spiritual Bestowal and Gods Descent: the Beast God Domain. The Beast God Domains powery in its powerful single-target effects at arge range. Its only effect was amplification, taking effect on Chen Yingers summons. The juvenile Ice Dragon having transformed into an adult Ice Dragon upon getting the Mythological Beast Domains boost, and McDull having also gotten his strength boosted significantly. Aimed on arger scale, the individual boost would get smaller as the number of targets increased. Should be my turn. Chen Yinger dered secretly, her incantationing to a sudden stop as she spread her hands up, and directed them to the sky. Immediately, the immense figure on her back shattered, turning into countless lustering dots of light heading for Chen Yingers two Ice Dragons and merging into their bodies. Gods Descent Transient Power, Domain! Chen Yinger made a cute shout, causing an unforgotten sight to appear. The two Ice Dragons raised their heads, their eyes turning instantly into an ice blue color. Immediately, the interior of the whole stadium turned the same color, that extreme ice going as far as to even suppress the multicolored barrier outside the stadium, causing crackling sounds on it. Lin Chens next magic was just done being prepared, but he found out shockingly that the temperature of his Saint Sun was actually plummeting, as the magic was forcibly broken off. A piercing chilliness assailed him immediately, freezing him as still as an ice sculpture. Li Zhengzhis look immediately sharpened, shooting a sharp nce and firmly holding the armrests, as his tone went much higher than ordinarily, Dual domains! The phenomenon of dual domains could be interprated in two ways, either as a simultaneousunch of two domains, or as someone wielding two different domains at once. But the current situation was visibly the former, as these two domains were clearly noting from Chen Yinger. These were the very same domain belonging to an Ice Dragon, Domain of Extreme Cold. If that was only one Domain of Extreme Cold, perhaps Lin Chen could have resisted by the means of his Saint Sun Curse, but two simultaneous domains produced far more power than a sum of one plus one! After all, Lin Chen was not a domain wielding powerhouse, and his Saint Sun Curse was suppressed greatly by his opponents attribute. His magic being broken through, he ended up sealed in the Domains of Extreme Cold. Chen Yinger had relied on the Beast God Domains extreme amplifications to bestow McDull and the Ice Dragon with domains simultaneously. Although it onlysted for a short time, that was enough against Lin Chen. Without the Spiritual Saint Robes backing, the use of the Beast God Domains providencial boost caused Chen Yinger to visibly be pale right afterwards. But standing in this world of ice, she gave off a sacred feel, just like a snow lotus, devoid of any impurity. On the sixth lounge, all the refereesing from Demon Hunt Squads poured their spiritual energy into the barrier for the sake of stabilizing it to prevent the dual domains from making effect, but their spiritual energy was depleted at great speed, showing the terror of these united domains effects. Put that domain away, this match is your victory! Chen Zidians voice reverberated, while a golden-bright and dazzling light spread from the sky,nding onto the iced Lin Chens body. Chen Yinger ended her show, terminating her boosts: just like the Domain of Extreme Cold came fast, it disappeared fast, instantly returning the stadium to normal. McDull returned to its little pig shape and hopped into Chen Yinger arms, her body having turned quite scorched, and the Ice Dragon, also shrunken down, disappeared in the hexagram under its feet. The auxiliary head of the Mage Temple, Lin Chen, had lost. At the time the frozen golden pir of light wrapped around Lin Chen, he returned to his senses, still having chills upon remembering the previous ice. With a light sigh, he shook his head and returned to the direction of the Mage Temple. Even Li Zhengzhi couldnt really me anyone, he had done all he could, but the enemys dual domains were just too powerful. Lin Chen was actually not really convinced, thinking secretly that if he had made his breakthrough twenty years ago to the ninth step, and transformed his Sacred Sun into a domain, it would not necessarily have lost in front of the dual Domain of Extreme Cold. What a real shame, thinking that Saint Sun Cure could really be developed further if he had the capabilities, he couldnt help but feel a burst of sadness. Chapter 690 - Starlight Divine Saint Knight (I)

Chapter 690: Starlight Divine Saint Knight (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Chen Yinger didnt have an easy match, after terminating her Domain of Extreme Ice, her body swayed slightly as she strolled out from the stage. The summoners from the Spiritual Temple were all stupefied by that match. So, it was actually possible for a summoner to use such means. This was the very first domain to aplish such a feat in the Spiritual Temple; even Chen Hongyus Beast Emperor Domain was far fromparing. Chen Yinger used her own strength to prove Sanshuis previous statement. Indeed, at her level, Sanshui was really in no way her opponent. Bright Glimmer of Hope gradually gained more and more approval from the Six Great Temples powerhouses. The one with the deepest impression was Li Zhengzhi, who originally had believed Long Haochen to be the only really outstanding one in the crew, with at most only Caier being remarkable too. But, from the previous battle, he could see that their other members did not fall behind either! Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan both wielded domains, and greatly powerful ones, causing Zhengzhi to conclude that even he would undoubtedly need to expend massive ressources to beat them. The tournament went on: after this round, only twenty-four more people were left. The battles were especially spectacr: Chen Yinger and Lin Chens battles were not the only bright spots. Theter matches were brilliant and varied because the contestants were bing more and more powerful. Domains frequently appeared in the stadium, and the spectacle was the most satisfying to the spectators. How would they witness such great strengths without the Temples Great Gathering? Amongst Bright Glimmer of Hope, Han Yu lost, Bright Glimmer of Hope having finally exhausted its good luck when he came upon Chen Yingers grandfather, the head of the Spiritual Temple Chen Hongyu. In front of the powerful Beast Emperor Domain, he still managed tost for over ten minutes before getting defeated, and hisrade, a Demonic Eye Tyrant also left a very deep impression, being a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step, blessed with powerful mental suppression and control, even greatly counteracting the effects of the Beast Emperor Domain. But, unfortunately, the Demonic Eye Tyrant would need to make an extraordinary encounter to possibly be able to evolve further. Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi all faced the difficulty of having mounts that would hardly evolve to the ninth step. By chance, Zhang Fangfang, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan also achieved victory against their opponents, clearing the third round smoothly. Amongst Bright Glimmer of Hope, only Long Haochen and Caier were left to participate, only four matches being left in this third round. Right now, the calm look maintained so far on Long Haochens face had a slight change. It wasnt an impossible thing to be drawn against a teammate in this individualpetition, especially when only eight people remained, so Caier and him had fair odds of shing against each other. Thinking of this, Long Haochen unconsciously reminisced a scene from the Demon Hunt Selection of that time, when Caier chose to give up upon meeting him. Was history going to repeat itself? Thinking back to his past promise to Lin Xin, about how he had forgotten to warn Caier at that time, ultimately ending up hurting her, Long Haochens gaze became a lot warmer. Lightly holding Caiers hand, he dered, If we run against each other, I will be the one to concede this time, understood? Caier had a slight start, Haochen, you... Long Haochen smiled to her, In those years, you clearly could beat me, yet chose to give up on the match. Why shouldnt I be allowed to concede this one? Caierughed in reaction, Idiot, dont think about it. Do you even take the circumstances to be the same nowpared to the past? At that time, winning or losing did not matter, but this match rtes to our future resistance against demonkind. You are Bright Glimmer of Hopes captain, our leader! Oh, looks like our match wont get to take ce. During their discussion, the light of selectionnded onto Caier as well as Sheng Yue, another contestant in the Assassin Temples area opposite. Seeing Sheng Yues unreconciled look, Long Haochen couldnt help butugh, Look, that great-grandfather-inw wants to have a go against you. Caier let out a lowugh and replied, It wont happen. As expected, without need for Caier to step down, the opposite Sheng Yue had already dered, I believe there to be no match and give up this match. After saying that, he returned to his seat without even walking away. Who could expect there to be three leading figures to already give up, the most simply eliminated being Sheng Yue, who actually directly conceded, immediately dering himself to be no match. This was already the second time the Assassin Temple was confronted with Caier. From Bright Glimmer of Hopes six, only one person had yet to appear on stage. The light of selection only shifted slightly from Caier to Long Haochen, lighting up him and his opponent from the Knight Temple. The two sides were from the same Temple. That was a knight of high seniority, looking quite a bit older than Long Tianying, who stood up slowly and nodded to Long Haochen seated in thest row, his aged voice sounding very firm, Let this be a showdown between two knights. After saying this, he advanced inrge strides toward the field. Long Haochen unconsciously looked at his grandfather, Long Tianying, who showed him a helpless smile. Haochen was slightly shocked, as his grandfathers expression was telling him that he had no way to influence this old knight. In fact, a Divine Knight had an almost supreme authority, meaning that this knight going beyond Long Tianyings control surely held a very high position as well. Long Haochen followed this golden knight into the stadium before taking the initiative to elerate while going across the arena from the old knight. This was an etiquette as a junior to a senior: he couldnt just stand here and let the elder do the job of increasing the distance. I am Yang Haoyu, an elder who doesnt care about all these matters. Since Haohan couldnte this time, I am thanking you on his behalf for saving and bringing back the only child of our Yang family. Saying that, he performed a knight salute to Long Haochen. Long Haochen finally recognized this elder: that was actually Yang Haohans brother, and very possibly an elder brother from his looks. No wonder even his grandpa was very polite to him. Hurriedly, he returned the politeness formally. Yang Haoyus stagnant look remained on Long Haochen, I have heard Haohan mention you long before. You are really outstanding, surpassing your grandfather and father. But you are, after all, still too young. There are no conceding knights in the Knight Temple. If you want me to approve youpletely, then its simple, defeat me. Please Saying that, this old knight shouted loudly and a trail of golden light lit up on his back, dividing into two straight lines and very rapidly moving to either side as a golden cloud of light forced its way between them and engulfed Yang Haoyu, wrapping around his body. That bright golden light spread over his body, instantly forming a golden armor covering his whole body as a pair of heavy swords formed in his hands. An imposing demeanor rose from him, glinting into the surroundings, causing Long Haochen to feel as if hed been ced in the midst of outer space, with a ferocious beast there among the stars opening its mouth to swallow him. Seeing this scene, Li Zhengzhi abruptly became greatly rmed, the look on his face changing greatly, Thats him! So he actually came. No wonder the Knight Temple didnt even send Long Xingyu. Hasnt he been secluded for already close to fifty years? Tan Wan had lost her previous battle, but, because the round was not over, she was still inside the area for candidates from the Mage Temple, and couldnt help but ask curiously in reaction, Who is this person, Teacher? Could he be even stronger than a Divine Knight? Li Zhengzhi ordinarily had a beaming look, which had remained, as usual, even when running against Long Tianying earlier. But for this knight to cause his look to change so greatly, he clearly had some unordinary aspects. Li Zhengzhis look gradually came back to normal, exning, In some ways, hes the true number one powerhouse in the Knight Temple. If he had obtained the approval of a Divine Throne back then, maybe he could have risen as the truemander of the Six Great Temples and the Temple Alliance wouldnt be so dispersed either. What? Tan Wan was shocked, having never heard her teacher give such a high evaluation of another person, moreover someone from the Knight Temple. Li Zhengzhi had some reservations regarding even Long Haochen, believing him to still be way too young. Li Zhengzhi continued, He is called Yang Haoyu, and is really a legendary character. The head of the Temple Alliance Yang Haoyu is actually his younger brother, but in some sense, Yang Haohan can also be considered his disciple, and you can well imagine from this how strong he is. Hes close to thirty years older than Yang Haoyu: back then, when Yang Haohan first made his name, Yang Haoyu had just joined the Knight Temple, possessing an extremely high talent and powerful character, causing Yang Haoyu to be acimed as a knight with the bearing of a king. And, hes a Retribution Knight; reportedly, the Knight Temples only Divine Retribution Knight, Long Xingyu, is training using the Retribution Knight records he left. Yang Haoyu never makes use of any offensive equipment, because he has a really extraordinary magical beast called Starry Sky. This kind of magical beast already goes beyond the realm of magical beast, being an existence intrinsically belonging to the ninth step. It is able transform into any shape, aid Yang Haoyu in his cultivation, and help him absorb heavenly energy from the sun and the moon. In terms of seniority, he is above me, and I dont even know when it was that he had broken through the ninth step, but he aplished an unprecedented feat. He refused to be a Divine Knight. Chapter 691 - Starry Sky Holy Knight (II)

Chapter 691: Starry Sky Holy Knight (II)

Trantor: GravityTales What? Tan Wan lost her voice, How could that be? Bing a Divine Knight means having at least one divine tool, as well as bing an auxiliary head of the Knight Temple. Lin Zhengzhi sighed, Of course, Yang Haoyu knew this much, but he is really overly proud. This genius with a Starry Sky of the ninth step immediately gained approval from a Divine Throne, and if at that time he had epted, he would immediately have be a Divine Knight. But he didnt do so, and chose to issue a request to the greatest, and never before used Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. In the end, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation rejected him, and he did not choose another Divine Throne. After being bestowed the title of Starry Sky Holy Knight, he started to undergo a long time of seclusion, and, reportedly, he attempted to gain once again the approval from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, but, in the end, he did not seed. Because his time spent in seclusion was just too long, he has since long disappeared from the watch of the Six Great Temples higher-ups. I didnt expect Yang Haohan to have actually invited him to this Temples Great Gathering. Reaching that point, Li Zhengzhis expression became quite deste, It looks that I was too confident in myself. The Knight Temples trump card... Tan Wan seemed to be unconvinced, Teacher, could it be that you are still unable to defeat him? Li Zhengzhi shook his head, If I am up against him, my odds of victory are definitely under fifty percent even without restrictions, and the use of equipment being allowed. Have a good look, he will show you the strength of a Starry Sky Divine Beast. It is regarded as the number one divine beast, and Yang Haoyu is the chief elder of the Knight Temple. This time, Long Haochen should get taught a deep lesson, but thats good as well. Hes too young, and to a youngster, getting defeated is sometimes the best lesson one can have. If Long Haochen could hear Li Zhengzhis words, he would surely be left with a deep impression, because he formerly suffered a blow of the most massive kind, costing him his own life. Now that he was living a second life, he had long since be entirely transparent, as peaceful as water. Long Haochen did not know that Yang Haoyu had such a glorious history. Looking at the armor and weapon on him, he couldnt help but feel startled, though his gaze very rapidly returned to normal, a golden hexagon having appeared around him. Despite not knowing about Yang Haoyus glory, he could sense a massive threat from him, and didnt feel confident in being able to defeat this powerful knight. The hexagonal light in front of Long Haochen was mild, glinting in golden color, and slowly tracing lines of multicolored halos. Multicolored light symbolized a special realm, an existence equivalent in some ways to divine tools. Immediately, a tall figure appeared in front of Long Haochen, measuring over four meters, and over two meters tall. It had a pair of massive wings spreading out from his two sides, and was entirely lustrous gold colored. The sole horn atop its head was colored in the seven colors of the rainbow, and the instant it appeared, a light essence gushed out throughout the whole stadium, making visible the multicolored light spiralling around its body. The dots of starlight that had originally appeared in the air were dispelled in the scope of this multicolored htion. Divine Unicorn? Yang Haoyu was shocked upon looking at the magical beast standing in front of Long Haochen. In legends, some magical beasts were known as the optimum mounts for knights, and knights possessing such mounts were given a special name. First, the number one ranked were Divine Gigantic Dragon Riding Knights, followed by Divine Unicorn Riding Knights, followed by all the types of dragon-riding knights. Divine Unicorns were ranked number two for the massive boosts and glory they gave to a knight. Yang Haoyu was named Starry Sky Holy Knight because of his mount too, but a Starry Sky Divine Beast was not even written down in any ancient records, so it did not appear in the original ranking of the mount titles of knights. Because of its great power, it was added onto the ranking afterwards, but Long Haochens Divine Unicorn was the true second-ranked being in the rankings. Long Haochens figure shed to sit on the Divine Unicorns back. Immediately, thetter dispersed a multicolored htion, rendering his body multicolored, as well as causing Long Haochens figure to look blurry. There used to be a legend in ancient times that girls had as an ideal for a lover someone who could step through multicolored clouds, d in golden saint armor. Those so called multicolored clouds pointed at Divine Unicorns, as for the golden saint armor, the current humankind did not know what it was, but in some manner, a Divine Throne could definitely be regarded as such. Isnt that so? A Divine Unicorn had already not appeared for many years, having vanished from Shengmo Dalu long ago. No one imagined that Long Haochen would actually summon such a mount to aid him in battle. Being disallowed from using equipment did not mean mounts boosts were forbidden. After a short time of surprise, Yang Haoyus look very rapidly returned to normal, but he did not immediately rush to the assault, but spoke toward the lounge of the Knight Temple, Chief referee, I have a request. Because of my magical beast, I have no use for weapons, so my ability is unrted to weaponry. So I will be clearly advantaged after summoning myrade. Therefore, please especially permit Long Haochen to use any of his other equipment in this battle. These words immediately shocked everyone present. Despite being fully aware that Long Haochen had summoned a Divine Unicorn, ranked number two among knight mounts, Yang Haoyu unexpectedly still requested to permit him the use of other equipment. Was this out of pride? He visibly viewed Long Haochen to be far from being his own opponent. On the side of the Knight Temples resting area for contestants, all Bright Glimmer of Hope had grotesque looks upon hearing Yang Haoyus words. Lin Xin couldnt help but remark, Isnt this old knight overly self-confident? Could it be that he didnt see Boss Light God Domain. Long Tianying swept him with a nce, and dered lightly, Youngsters being self-confident is a good thing, but they mustnt be blindly arrogant. Haochen is outstanding, but I am not optimistic in his victory. You should all know that as early as fifty years ago, Brother Yang was known as the Starry Sky Holy Knight, whose fame matched with Chen Zidian, and, although he was not a Divine Knight, he was still the number one powerhouse of the Knight Temple. If not for the utter importance of this Temples Great Gathering, we wouldnt have requested Brother Yang to step into the fights. Haochens father, my son Long Xingyu, is only at most a follower learning from the records Brother Yang left behind. Hearing Long Tianying say this much, all Bright Glimmer of Hopes member felt that Long Haochen was facing a really powerful existence. A Divine Knight was only a follower using the records he left behind, and an even stronger existence than the legendary Chen Zidian Whats with Boss luck! Long Tianying calmly dered, I have no qualms telling you now that even through I am not sure of whether Li Zhengzhi managed to break through sessfully, there is only one person who managed to break through the fourth rank of the ninth step prior to Li Zhengzhi, and that person is this Starry Sky Holy Knight. Hearing that, all Bright Glimmer of Hopes members couldnt help but feel shocked. All of them aside from Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao had reached the ninth step, but came to deeply understand how hard cultivation gets upon reaching this realm. Almost every hundred spiritual energy woulde with its own bottleneck, so what could it mean to have broken through the fourth rank of the ninth step? It meant that Yang Haoyus internal spiritual energy surpassed four hundred thousand. And they all knew about Long Haochens current cultivation: second rank of the ninth step, and stopped at the bottleneck to the third rank. But having the Heart of Eternity gave him an extra ninty thousand spiritual energy, causing his internal spiritual energy to already be over two hundred ny thousand. However, he was still only at the peak of the second rank, having yet to get to the third rank, while Yang Haoyu already reached the fifth ranks realm. At the ninth step, every rank had enormous gaps, affecting a lot of variables. One could say that every rank to break through upon reaching the ninth step would require expending great efforts which are no easier than the initial breakthrough to the ninth step. But, after a short time of shock, the group very rapidly calmed down, sitting upright and watching in the direction of the stadium. Long Tianying found out with shock that these youngsters all looked confident and resolved. For them to remain so confident despite knowing about Yang Haoyus strength meant that they all held a sort of faith toward Long Haochen deep in their hearts. And this faith gave them an absolute certainty on Long Haochens victory. Since you say so, Long Haochen is specially allowed to make use of equipment. Chen Zidian replied very rapidly, unexpectedly agreeing in a premise that the overwhelming majority of the spectators believed that this chief referee would not possibly ept. Some slightly younger higher-ups from the Six Great Temple felt iprehension. The Great Temples Gathering promoted fairness at the top, but could it be called fair for the other contestants to permit the use of equipment to Long Haochen. But the older veterans watched Yang Haoyu attentively. Even those who hadnt met this legendary Starry Sky Holy Knight before had all heard about his story before. Long Haochen had already won against Qiu Yonghao, bing the representative individual of the younger generation. In this match, the issue of the final victor did not even matter any more. More importantly, all those people involved by the Mage Temple had great changes of heart. For the Knight Temple to have a powerhouse such as the Starry Sky Holy Knight, and moreover a great pride such as Long Haochen in this younger generation, could the Mage Temple really take over their rule? People with eyes to see all knew the answer to that question. Chapter 692 - Starry Sky Holy Knight (III)

Chapter 692: Starry Sky Holy Knight (III)

Li Zhengzhi was certainly outstanding, and he had especially prepared his ns for this Temples Great Gathering for a long time, but he had already lost, outdone by the previous head of the Temple Alliance Yang Haoyu, the true victor in this battle of intrigue. After Yang Haoyu gained Chen Zidians approval, he nodded to Long Haochen, Alright, you can use your equipment now. Thanks a lot, senior. Long Haochen nodded to him and bowed forward, the Gold Foundation Armor appearing under his feat. That armor glistening in orange color instantly covered his upper body. When he leapt back on the Divine Unicorns back, he had a heavy sword in each of his hands. The heavy sword on his left hand glistened in white, and the heavy sword in his right hand shone in gold red, carrying a multicolored brilliance. These were Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, as well as the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Looking at the fully equipped Long Haochen, Yang Haoyu unwittingly now had an appreciative look, admiring Long Haochens steadiness. Another youngster of Long Haochens age with such aplishments would surely have a proud mindset. Yang Haoyu giving him a special permission to use his equipment in this match was undoubtedly a form of contempt. But right after obtaining the chief referee Chen Zidians permission, he chose to take out his equipment with neither arrogance nor impatience. His look remained just as calm, with no changes in his emotional aspect. This steadiness was already far beyond other people of this age. Please, give me your guidance, senior. Long Haochen lightly knocked the Aria of the Goddess of Light on his left shoulder, indicating his preparedness to Yang Haoyu. Yang Haoyu nodded lightly, inclining the heavy swords in his hands, Lets start then. With this call, the bodies of the two glinted brilliantly. A dense golden light extended all around Long Haochens body, apanied with shrill sounds which flooded the whole stadium toward Qiu Yonghaos direction. But, Yang Haoyus body liberated a simr resplendent golden luster, though it seemed to emerge in the midst of a night sky unlike Long Haochens. With Yang Haoyus body as center, a wide expense of surrounding air turned into stars, just as if he was standing in the midst of a starry sky. In this starry sky, countless golden dots of light brought fantastic fluctuations of spiritual energy, shing against Long Haochens Light God Domain. The domains of the two parties stretched forward with power, as the distance between the two of them increased. On one side was a vast and pure expense of gold, and on the other side was a mysterious and boundless starry sky. After the two great domains appeared, they contrasted each other on every point. Yang Haoyu spoke insipidly, Your Light God Domain is established on the basis of your affinity andprehension of light as a gods chosen one. My light originates from the starry sky, which is not from this world and is not subject to the control of this worlds god of light. So, you cannot strip my light. These are my stars, take the blow of my star power. Saying that, Yang Haoyu remained motionless, lifting the heavy sword in his right hand and pointing it toward Long Haochen. Immediately, myriads of starry lights shot out from his domain, gathering into a sharp projectile while turning into perfectly straight golden light, bombarding Long Haochens direction. The use of the stars power was Yang Haoyus self-created starsw. This Starlight looked very gentle, but after entering Long Haochens domain, it seemed not to be affected in the slightest as it instantly reached out in front of Long Haochen. Long Haochen didnt respond to the attack with another attack. His huge wings spread out simultaneously as Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in his left hand disappeared, reced with apact multicolored shield, held in front of him. Ding.?The instant that Starlightnded onto the Divine Snail Shield, it immediately issued metallic kinds of sounds. Long Haochen was making use of Divine Obstruction, but felt right now as if a was ramming against his body. Instantly, the multicolored golden light on the Divine Snail Shield erged, and in the meantime, a bright light pulsed on Long Haochens chest: the Heart of Eternity. In the previous battle against Qiu Yonghao, Long Haochen had relied on the heart of Eternity to repel the enemy with a single fist. Every time the Heart of Eternity would pulse, his spiritual energy would get refilled at rapid speed, and the multicolored golden light on the Divine Snail Shield would grow in intensity. The Light God Domain turned into circles of golden halos, binding around Long Haochens body, as the space in the stadium seemed to sink deeply. On the lounge, the chief referee Chen Zidian was in a standstill. Under his lead, all the referees were pouring with all their energy spiritual energy into the barrier to maintain its stability. When the Starlight gradually weakened, Long Haochens body was pressed up against the barrier. What a powerful blow! To resist this starlight, Long Haochen had to put forth almost all his strength. He really did not expect Yang Haoyus strength to actually reach such a level. Perhaps he could still notpare with the Demon God Emperor, but his cultivation was definitely at the grade of the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God. Yang Haoyu had a faint smile, Interesting, and you are not at full strength yet. Let me see where your limits lie! Myriads of Starlight rose up in his Star Domain, and his dual swords were lifted, tracing abstruse arcs in midair, to finally turn these myriads of Starlight into nine points which rotated in the air to gather as one, a perfect pure-white Starlight attack aimed against Long Haochen. The instant this pure-white Starlight entered inside the Light God Domain, it immediately caused intense undtions in Long Haochens domain, as if ripping his Light God Domain apart. This strike gathered the might of heaven and earth. Long Haochens face was extremely stern, and the Divine Unicorn underneath him issued a shrill, causing a mystical multicolored light to gather onto its horn, spreading outwards. But Long Haochen did not keep using his shield like before, shutting his eyes as the Heart of Eternity on his chest clearly gained in intensity. Having gained the boost from Divine Unicorn, Long Haochens whole body was permeated with the seven colors of the rainbow. A phenomenon suddenly affected the fluctuations of the Light God Domain and they suddenly intensified, its bright light dispersed, instantly being reduced to ten meters of range around his body, pulsing to the rhythm of the beating Heart of Eternity. It appeared just as though the whole Light God Domain had be an extension of the Heart of Eternity. Meanwhile, the retractation of Long Haochens Light God Domain caused the scale of the Star Domain in the stadium to increase. From the looks of it, Long Haochen seemed oppressed to the extreme. But upon contact with that retracting Domain of the Light God, that pure white Starlight unexpectedly came to a stop. Only a bit of it made it through, but stagnated alongside the pulse of the Light God Domain. At every pulse of the Light God Domain, that pure white holy light weakened gradually. The white stars gradually dispersed, turning golden and dulling with time, before finally turning into infinitely small starry dots. Long Haochen opened his eyes that instant, executing a hacking motion with the Aria of the Goddess of Light in the right hand. Please take my blow, Senior. The Aria of the Goddess of Light turned into a brilliant gold color, and the retracted Light God Domain gathered into a wheel of light,unched slowly forward alongside a golden light projection from Long Haochens de. The previous Starlight attack that Yang Haoyuunched was dispersed at once, and after that golden light projection routed the Starlight attack, kept flying forward changing colors in the process to gradually turn white. Even more mysteriously, that bright de projection issued sweet sounds everywhere it passed, giving off an auspicious and peaceful feeling of calm. Behind that de projection of light appeared two pure-white wings. Yang Haoyu had a grave look for the first time. Lifting the heavy sword in his right arm, the Starlights inside the starry universe all lit up at once. That white de projection entered the Star Domain right after exiting the Light God Domain, not obstructed in the slightest wherever it passed. When the nearest starsnded onto the white de projection, a bizarre scene took ce: that white projection slowed down once again, but its volume became twicerger, shattering those stars. This was the first time for Yang Haoyu to encounter such a situation. Lifting the heavy sword in his right hand, he swept it through the empty air, gathering myriads of Starlights into a huge de projection aimed at Long Haochens projection looking as light and unhindered as a feather. The two de projections of entirely contrasting size shed. On the surface, Long Haochens de looked like it should suffer an immediate loss, but this contact immediately caused a state of stickiness between the des. The two light des stopped simultaneously in midair, and Starlight slowly went up to curl up on the immense de formed, causing Long Haochens little de projection to slowly get expelled under its suppression. But in the process of this expulsion, the little light de erged gradually, while therge light de gradually shrank. The smaller light de was also repelled at gradually slower speed. Disperse, break! Yang Haoyu shouted loudly, waving the sword in his hands simultaneously. With arge bang, the Star Domain shivered greatly, as the Starlight de he hadunched smashed into pieces at once, transforming into countless stars shooting out, and finally destroying Long Haochens de projection in an intense explosion, turning into countless surges of white light. But they didnt disperse, quietly flying back instead, to merge back into Long Haochens Light God Domain. An intense heartbeats pulse reverberated through the whole stage, as, the instant this white light returned, the Light God Domainunched another counterattack against the Star Domain, forcing it back to the previous state of stalemate. Each party now took half of the sky as before. Chapter 693 - Light God Domain VS Star Domain (I)

Chapter 693: Light God Domain VS Star Domain (I)

Right now, the spectating powerhouses were all inplete shock. Even Li Zhengzhi, whose elementalprehension was exceedingly high, also had difficulty to understand just what happened in the previous sh of power between Haochen and Yang Haoyu. Perhaps only the legendary Chen Zidian had some clues of what happened, his face right now seeming full of appreciation. Yang Haoyu did not keepunching attacks, but looked at Long Haochen with a questioning look, Just how did you manage that? With your current cultivation and domainprehension, there should be no way you could resist in front of my Star Domain. It looked as though the two of them kept making moves, but in reality, it was entirely a contest between their two domains. Yang Haoyus attack was through his domain, whereas Long Haochens first block used the Divine Snail Shield, while the second one used entirely the power of his domain, the same going as well for the small de projection he hadunched afterwards. And in this sh of domains, it was Yang Haoyu who finally took the first step back. Although no winner emerged, Yang Haoyu had visibly suffered a slight loss. Long Haochen had a slight smile, Seniors Star Domain really expanded this juniors horizons. Thats really the most powerful domain I have ever encountered, indeed unaffected by the restrictions of the light godsws. But you forgot something: Starlight is light as well, and even if the stars power umted inside was even more massive, its core contains arge amount of light. Just like your ability uses light as its core, my Light God Domain harmonizes very well with all light. So I just made use of the light inside your domain to transform my power into a state able to contend with your domain, to barely resist. In some sense, I have partly been making use of your own power to contend against you. Yang Haoyu disyed a look of surprise, slowly nodding, What a strong Light God Domain. In terms of quality, it looks that your domain is really miles above my Star Domain. When the timees and it gets strengthened enough, the Demon God Emperors ck Hell will have met quite a match. But this match is just getting started. Your domain should have materialized quite recently right? You will need to disy far more to contend with my Star Domain. My Star Domain is not my power alone, but the power emerging from the fusion between my Starry Sky Mythological Beast and myself. Therefore, my domain is in essentially a mutated domain, equivalent to the fusion of two domains. My full power is close to the Starry Sky, but what you have been facing just before was merely the most fundamental power of the Star Domain. I am going to increase the pressure right now, take care! Yang Haoyupletely had the attitude of a senior giving guidance to a junior, and Long Haochen also had an increasingly deferential look on his face. Indeed, his cultivation had already increased to a considerable level, but the day he reached the ninth step was still quite recent, so he had far from enough experience of the abilities of a powerhouse of the ninth step as well as practical experience. Of course, he could easily respond to an opponent of lower cultivation than him, but an opponent stronger than him would be somewhat hard to cope with. If Yang Haoyu had used his strongest attack from the beginning, Long Haochen was afraid hed be helpless in front of it. But him gradually increasing the level of pressure brought Long Haochen an extremely precious practical experience against domains, as well as extremely good benefits to his future cultivation due to the high level of pressure. Please guide me Senior. Long Haochen knocked lightly the Aria of the Goddess of Light on his shoulder as a salute. Yang Haoyu returned the salute, raising the heavy sword in his right hand and holding it up in the air, dering in a deep voice, I will start to disy my own Domain Technique next, which I created using the abilities of my Starry Star Mythological Beast alongside my own, called Starry Sky Explosion. Take care, and show me how much light your Light God Domain can strip from mine under these circumstances. Saying that, Yang Haoyu pointed the heavy sword in his right hand at a star, and immediately, that star lit up fully, as the other Starlights darkened. The star in question even grew a dim golden tail, rushing straight and brazenly toward Long Haochen. Starry Sky Explosion? This was the first time Long Haochen heard this name, but he knew about Domain Techniques! Yang Haoyu having already told him he was about to use a Domain Technique, how could Long Haochen respond without taking care? If this ability was added to the contest between domains, his own domain would surely lose. Although Long Haochens domain was only obtained recently, he was absolutely unwilling to let his domain lose out, otherwise his future attitude in times of cultivation would surely get greatly affected. Drawing the Aria of the Goddess of Light ahead, countless halos gathered onto the Aria of the Goddess of Light as the multicolored gold light emitted by the Divine Unicorn glowed more and more intensely. Through the Heart of Eternity, Long Haochen managed to control his domain to some extent, but the Light God Domain was really a supreme existence among all extant domains. To achieve control over a domain of such a level surely would require an astronomical spiritual energy. Long Haochen obligatorily required the amplification of the Divine Unicorn to achieveplete control of the domain. Of course, as his understanding of the Light God Domain would deepen, this situation would change to some extent, until he would manage, uponpletely integrating the Light God Domain, to fuse it into a part of his body, while also bing part of the Light God Domain itself. That point could be called to achieve perfect control of his own domain, just what Yang Haoyu managed to do with his own domain. The gathered Domain Light revolved around the Aria of the Goddess of Light, as a halo lit Long Haochens body, and he pointed the Aria of the Goddess of Light forward. Distributing the previously condensed halo ahead, it enveloped the iing star. That stars flying speed increased continuously, and when it looked about to enter the Light God Domain, the halo guided by the Aria of the Goddess of Light came to meet it, immediately stopping its advance. An unimaginable situation urred: that slowed down star suddenly froze, expelling all the light in it, but without leaving Long Haochens Light God Domain the slightest chance to absorb its light. That instant, that star suddenly blew up. The violent explosion reverberated not only throughout the whole Alliances Great Stadium, but even shook the whole Holy City. The instant it was triggered, the barrier in the Alliances Great Stadium shook severely, andrge expanses of cracks formed on every corner of the barrier, looking close to shattering at anytime. Right at this time, a solemn sound rang, as a golden ball suddenly appeared on top of the barrier, following with countless brilliant lights shrouding the barrier in the seven colors of the rainbow then turned into eight colors. This finally stabilized its state and stopped the barrier from shattering. Chapter 694 - Light God Domain vs Star Domain (II)

Chapter 694: Light God Domain vs Star Domain (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Spiritual pellet! That golden ball was really Chen Zidians Spiritual Pellet; he wouldnt easily disy the use of his domain for fear of affecting the other people in the stadium, so he could only make use of his spiritual pellet to stabilize the defense of the stadium. Inside the stadium, Long Haochen and the Divine Unicorn immediately got expelled by the effects of that stars explosion. Floating in midair, Long Haochen let out a splurt of blood, his Light God Domain narrowly shattered in a violent shaking. _This explosive force is really so terrifying. Is that the power of a Domain Technique?_ Long Haochens internal spiritual energy totalled 290,000, adding to that the amplification from his Golden Foundation Armor and the Divine Unicorn, his total avable spiritual energy was already over 400,000. Although he hadnt reached the fourth rank of ninth step, the spiritual energy he could bring into y was no less. But, in front of these explosions, his seven apertures felt as if sealed, causing the terrible feeling of having his senses stripped. Not only his body but even his soul experienced therge shaking. Was Starry Sky Explosion such a terrible thing? The current Long Haochen was full of deep shock. Never did he expect Yang Haoyus domain to actually reach such a terrible level of power. Because he was unfamiliar with the opponent, and because Yang Hao was also a powerhouse of the Knight Temple, so far Long Haochen had maintained a probing attitude in this battle. This was also why he chose to take the first blow of the Star Domain with the Divine Snail Shield instead of meeting it with his domains power. And, right now, he got a true view of the terrible level of strength a Domain Ability could reach. The actual terror of a Domain Abilitys destructive power was far above a forbidden spell! If the barrier specially prepared for defending Alliances Great Stadium wasnt there earlier, they could be afraid a cmity would have befallen the whole Holy City. However, Long Haochen was not discouraged so simply. Quite the opposite, something seemed to awaken in his body in front of this massive pressure. Taking a deep breath and stabilizing his body and staring at Yang Haoyu, Long Haochen did not wipe the blood on the corners of his mouth, and his look became even more calm than before. The Light God Domain once again retracting to an area of ten meters diameter around him, Long Haochen took a deep breath, seemingly drawing all the light into his body. The two swords in his hand were slowly brought together above his head, and when the two divine swords flowed into each other, a terrible sh of white light surged out from them. Immediately, that white light turned multicolored, before turning into an incandescent white. The two swords harmonious bond drew in a power that had initially even caused the Demon God Emperor to sigh in admiration. But this harmonious use of the two swords seemed to be only aiming at controlling his Light God Domain. A fantastic white luster surged out from the two swords that had been made one with the Light God Domain. At that time, Yang Haoyu had a look of shock for the first time, seeing the bearing of Long Haochens Light God Domain change. Every domain had its own bearing; for instance, Yang Haoyus Star Domain had a mysterious and inexhaustible bearing. But Long Haochens Light God Domains original bearing seemed boundless: a boundless light, purity, and gentleness. But right now, a fantastic change urred on the Light God Domains bearing. It turned white from a golden color, an incandescent color that returned to gentleness after an initial surge of brutal power, a vast aura of familiarity. That was life, and creation. Right, when Long Haochen relied on the two swords harmonious bond, it triggered a kind of evolution of his Light God Domain. The white domain was beaming with feelings of life and creation. This was the powerful aura of life and creationing from the fusion between light and water, raising the natural qualities of the Light Dod Domain by a hundredfold, and its bearing by a thousandfold at once. Life and Creation, a new mystery behind Light God Domain. Long Haochens eyes simrly turned into an incandescent color, as he held the Sword of Life and Creation in his hand, the Light God Domain extending once again immediately. Where it passed, the Star Domain was unable to resist making a losing retreat little by little. With a wave of Yang Haoyus right hand, this time two stars came flying at Long Haochen. If these two stars were to detonate, the resulting might was bound to increase by severalfold. White light circted freely, as Long Haochens Light God Domain suddenly slowed its spiralling speed. Surges after surges of light extended, immediately forming two bands in front of the two concentrations of Starlight, slowly making way inside the two stas. Then Yang Haoyu immediately found out that he had lost control of his own domain. The Starry Sky Explosion Technique would immediately blow up upon contact with an opposing force, blowing at the core spot of the opponents force. Triggering the explosion ahead of time was impossible, as at that time, the star was still located in its Star Domain, that would be akin to attacking himself. But when the star made contact with Long Haochens Light God Domain, he unexpectedly lost control, bing unable to explode it, in other words, Long Haochen had neutralized his Starry Sky Explosion Technique. This instant, Yang Haoyus eyes were full of shock. He did not expect at all that Long Haochens evolved domain would actually neutralize his Domain Technique like that. Long Haochen had a different cultivating orientation than Caier. Her method was more inclined to developing her domain technique, because what she inherited was the power of purification of the death god, hence her Domain Technique would to arge extent increase her offensive strength. After Long Haochen fused with Eluxs constitution as a Scion of Light, his whole being was turned into a part of the light element. The mysteries of light did not rte to ughters and battle, but with the creation and life brought by light. Because of finding out its true essence, Long Haochen chose this path for himself, the path leading to his domains evolution. Right now, he was making use of the second form of the Light God Domain, its evolved form. Life and creations were inevitable and incidental concepts involved in every thing. The fantastic changes and connection between these inevitable and incidental things caused the rise of a new ability exceeding the scope of light. 3 The Starry Sky Explosion was certainly powerful and impossible for Long Haochen to block, but through his evolved Light God Domain, he had the ability to break off this power, and even cause the Star Domain to fall apart under the effects of thews of life and creation. Yang Haoyu knew that he had been underestimating this youngster. Thetters understanding of his own domain was perhaps not deep enough yet, but that was still an earth-shattering talent, whose knowledge of light vastly surpassed his own. And right now, this knowledge integrated his domain thus causing it toplete an evolution. Chapter 695 - Haoyue, possibility of eight heads (I)

Chapter 695: Haoyue, possibility of eight heads (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Yang Haoyus eyes were filled with admiration. He understood that given enough time, this youngster would surelye to surpass him. What a power of life and creation! Then let me show you thest struggle of my domain! Speaking so, Yang Haoyu slowly lifted his right arm, pointing it to the sky. For the first time, his Star Domain shrank, but kept dispersing stars in the whole process. Long Haochens Light God Domain consequently expanded immediately to a great extent. Because even mere dispersed stars were could still inflict massive damage to him, his only option was to slowly neutralize these stars power. From the shrinking domains, a lot of stars gathered on Yang Haoyu. His golden armor was originally very gorgeous, but after the stars were iid on it one after another, it gained an iparable brightness. Self Incarnating Domain! Li Zhengzhi lost his voice in rm, full of shock, followed by a decrepit look on his face. He knew that a hardly closeable gap still existed between Yang Haoyu and him. Li Zhengzhi put his greatest hopes on this Temples Great Gathering, because he had just broken through the fourth rank of the ninth step of cultivation, his internal spiritual energy exceeding 400,000. Not only that, but he had furthermore two powerful Domain Techniques. But after seeing the ability Yang Haoyu disyed, he knew that the unsurpassable gap separating him from this legendary Starry Sky Holy Knight was still present. Self Incarnating Domain, that was a characteristic ability of the fifth rank from the ninth step, representative of the upgrade to a high ss powerhouse of the ninth step. At this moment, the domain was Yang Haoyu himself, and Yang Haoyu was also his own domain, the domain and its wielder bing a single entity. This was already a boundary of immortality. Of course, this was not a real immortality, but upon reaching the realm of Self Incarnating Domain, a human powerhouses life expectancy would expand to over five hundred years! Chen Zidian didnt manage to aplish this feat, yet Yang Haoyu just did. Long Haochens Light God Domain gradually covered Yang Haoyu in its scope, and Yang Haoyu disyed a thin smile on his face. His domain havingpletely merged with him, this had be a fight inside Long Haochens Light God Domain. Waving his swords, Yang Haoyu immediately took the path in front of him. Even the already evolved Light God Domain was split in front of his swords, which had gained transparency, flickered with Starlight just like his armor, embodying the endless night sky. A bizarre Crossed Starlight Swords strikecerated the way toward Long Haochen, totally unstoppable by the Light God Domain. The Starlight Cross sword-strike travelled at very slow speed, but its huge pressure caused Long Haochens Golden Foundation Armor to issue a series of crackling sounds, with countless cracks starting to show up on the Golden Foundation Armor. This armor of epic tier was actuallypletely unable to bear such a level of might. The Divine Unicorn extended its wings, revealing a pained look. Under that huge pressure, its head was lowered forcefully, and the sacred light dispersed from its horn became far weaker. This Divine Unicorn was, of course, Star King who evolved along with the rise of Long Haochens cultivation. It still did not have its own domain, and its uses had been minimized due to the Star Domains suppression. Yang Haoyus strike already made use of most of his domain,pressed to be used in the shape of a technique. This crossed-swords strike could be said to umte the power of multitudinous Starry Sky Explosion Techniques. Even the Light God Domain evolved to the boundary of life and creation couldnt possibly dispel such a highly concentrated domains power. This was the gap in the two parties cultivation, already going beyond the gap in the two domains qualities. _Ding._ With light tingling sounds, Long Haochen instantly chose to discard his own Golden Foundation Armor, turning it back into a Golden Foundation Box dropping down, otherwise it would sustain irreparable damage. Without the armors protection, Long Haochens situation of crisis became even more pronounced. The huge might made him unable to even let go of the Sword of Life and Creation in his hands. This was the true might of the Starry Sky Knight! One could say that the process of the previous course of the battle was simply Yang Haoyu giving direction to Long Haochen for the sake of increasing his experience of resisting powerhouses. Yang Haoyus Starlight Crosstrike was faster than anything else, striking straight at Long Haochen, but the attack speed was voluntarily lowered rapidly, as the pressure was increased. With the increase in pressure, the rebound would get just as much stronger. With Long Haochens cultivation, bearing such a pressure would hardly be possible. Yang Haoyu was trying to force out breakthroughs from Long Haochen with the most of his own strength. Such a practical experience would yield indescribable benefits for his future. Long Haochens body was shivering slightly in the air in front of this devastating pressure, as the harmonious Sword of Life and Creation dispersed dragon-like chants that only kept getting more and more high-pitched The Starlight Cross strike was getting nearer and nearer to Long Haochen, and he was still unable toe out with an effective response, much less any shift of movement. Yang Haoyu sighed secretly, thinking to himself, _Maybe I just held overly high expectations on this child. He is not even thirty, yet he already managed to evolve his domain once. What more is there to insist for him to disy?_ The huge pressure started to cause Long Haochens mouth and nose to splurt blood. If this kept going on, his life would soon get endangered! Right as Yang Haoyu was thinking about terminating his attack, he suddenly caught sight of Long Haochens eyes. These eyes were just as limpid, with the same peaceful look even under such desperate straits, with even a look of persistence coupled to this gentle expression. _He hasnt given up!_ This was Yang Haoyus first reaction, and right at this time, he saw a purple glint in his eyes, as a purplish golden luster emanated from within his eyes, nine purple lines showed up noiselessly on his forehead. Just like torrential waves, purplish golden htions gushed out from Long Haochens back, instantly turning the white Light God Domain a purplish golden color. The aura of life and creation disappeared, to be reced by an iparable might and inexhaustible destructive intent. That instant, Long Haochens aura metamorphosed, the only thing remaining the same being his soft and peaceful look. A huge illusory figure appeared behind him. That was not the Goddess of Light, as after absorbing Eluxs special qualities as Scion of Light, he was not able to make use of Gods Descent any longer. That was because his spiritual energy reached the quality of a light god, an existence able to contend with the Goddess of Light. This huge illusory image was purple colored, letting out resplendent purple, its six immense heads lifted high and with two huge bulges on the extreme sides of the six heads, already close to the shape of the other six heads. The illusory look of that stature gradually gained in substance, its huge wings unfolding and causing the addition of an iparable nobility and might to Long Haochens purplish god Light God Domain. Right, his blood vessels had called him out in front of the high pressure and life threatening crisis confronting Long Haochen. _Roa!_ An overwhelming roar resounded behind Long Haochen. __ The deep traces of purple intent red up, turning into a purple htion blowing at Yang Haoyu. Astonishingly, everywhere the purple light passed, Long Haochens surrounding sturned purplish-gold in color, and that Starlight Cros strike came to a stop in midair. One could shockingly see that purplish light extend on the path taken by Yang Haoyu, annihting an innumerable Starlight on its way. Yang Haoyus swords changed stance, its Starlight interweaving into a magnificent star as. But all this Starlight seemedpletely useless in front of that purplish golden htion when dispersed directly. When that purplish light made contact with Yang Haoyu, his body shivered violently, and an illusory golden cloud separated from him, fluttering toward the opposite direction. The Sword of Life and Creation in Long Haochens hands finallynded, greatly reducing the might of the Starlight Sword Crosstrike, and in the midst of resonating clinging sounds, the crossed swords were split. Long Haochen took advantage of the great momentum to sh forward, the massive image on his back merging with him to turn into a magnificent purplish-golden armor. But this purplish-gold color was far too overbearing. At the time it stuck onto Long Haochens body, the Divine Unicorn was actually expelled far away. How strange to see the Divine Unicorn not show the slightest resistance at such a time. The multicolored hexagram traced under its feet disappeared quietly, and if one paid careful attention, he would find out that at the time that massive purple figure appeared, even the top tier Divine Unicorn looked filled with terror. To the opposite of Long Haochens magnificent purplish-golden armor, Yang Haoyus Starry Sky Armor and dual swords actually both disappeared. That previous sound of roaring apanied with the release of a purple htion actually forcefully cut his contact with the Starry Sky Mythological Beast. Yang Haoyu waspletely filled with shock right now. A second evolution That was actually a second evolution that took ce in his domain! This was impossible; even a powerhouse of the ninth step, fifth rank such as himself couldnt aplish this feat! Only at the sixth or even seventh rank could that possibly be done. He also felt the sense of hispanion. That purple htion unexpectedly aroused fear in the Starry Sky Mythological Beast known to be the number one mythological beast of the starry sky type. Ever since he made a pact with the Starry Sky Mythological Beast, it was a first for this to happen to Yang Haoyu. From the start of this battle, Long Haochen was constantly under pressure. The pressure being abruptly lightened, he reflexively took advantage of the momentum tounch an attack. Chapter 696 - Haoyue, possibility of eight heads (II)

Chapter 696: Haoyue, possibility of eight heads (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Right now, the Light God Domain was in an extraordinary state, but that was actually not a second evolution. Just like the armor materialized on Long Haochens body, that came from Haoyues power. That six-headed purple figure was no one else but Haoyue who had nearly died alongside Long Haochen, and had gone into hiding for over five years. That deep purple htion was Haoyues bloodline power! Just like Long Haochens cultivation rose to the second rank of the ninth step, Haoyue also made considerable progress, greatly gaining in volume to now be over thirty meters long. All his scales were like glistening amethysts, but actually, his cultivation only reached the peak of the eighth step. But, assessing Haoyue could naturally not be done with such simple factors alone. Those two huge bulges seemed to possibly be about to form heads at anytime. The six-headed Haoyue already reaching the peak of the eighth step, if he were to grow two more heads to gain eight heads, just what level would he reach? Even Long Haochen himself did not dare imagine. Also, because Haoyuestent capabilities only kept growing stronger and stronger, Long Haochens curiosity regarding his origins only kept growing. Assimting Haoyues blood force, Long Haochen also felt a spurt of the powering from Haoyues blood force into his own body too. The Light God Domain which was ordinarily gentle gained nobility and might. To life and creations were added ounces of devastation and destruction. These two extremesing out from Haoyues powerful blood vessels integrated the whole perfectly. Haoyue was certainly not as powerful as Long Haochen right now, but the level reached by his blood vessels power was not even bearable for the Starry Sky Mythological Beast, which separated itself from Yang Haoyus body, causing Yang Haoyus Star Domain to lose bnce immediately. In the midst of this disturbance, Long Haochens attack raised to its strongest degree of strength. The Heart of Eternity pulsed vigorously, and the purplish-gold colored divine swords released an unprecedented luster, filled with domineering sword intent and also carrying a purplish-golden glint while elevated high. This instant, his swords soul and sword intent made one, and caused Long Haochen to instantly arise to his peak state. However, Yang Haoyu did deserve his reputation after all. The Starry Sky Mythological Beast separated from him only for a split second before returning to cover his body. But the Star Domain was weakened slightly, while Long Haochens agile attack carried an earth shattering power. With a shout, the swords in his hand traced an abstruse arc, gathering myriad Starlights as one to sh with Long Haochens powerful strike. This sh looked unimportant, but in the Knight Temples lounge, it caused great changes in the expression on Chen Zidians face. His figure shed to reach the top of the defensive barrier, and he shouted loudly, Full power to support the barrier everyone! Those twos blows sprang up to the barrier. This sh contained the full power of the two of them, already exceeding the level of normal domains. They seemed to have actually forgotten that this was a match taking ce in the Temples Great Gathering! A sh reaching their level was already beyond what the divine-tool-level defensive barrier could sustain. And, in case it shattered, perhaps the whole Holy City would get affected, especially the numerous crowd standing outside. A real st-out would really turn this match into an unprecedented cmity. Chen Zidian did not stop them all this time because he was very familiar with Yang Haoyu, hence fully aware of the height of his cultivation, knowing that hes a really proper person. But who could guess that Long Haochen would suddenly summon another magical beast, before uniting with him and actually severing the link between Yang Haoyu and the Starry Sky Mythological Beast. This inmed Yang Haoyuspetitiveness, resulting in this sh of maximal power. If it were let to burst out, even among the higher-ups from the Six Great Temples, perhaps only a few of those inferior to the ninth step would remain. Being the chief referee, how could he let such a situation take ce? His first reaction was to immediately asking for help, as the defensive barrier was their only means to unite their strengths at once. Hearing Chen Zidiansrge shout, the higher-ups from the Six Great Temples almost all set into action with no hesitation. Li Zhengzhi was the first one to react, pressing both his hands onto the barrier to pour his spiritual energy inside. This barrier was extremely mystical. Aside from pouring spiritual energy inside through the magic array, it was also possible to pour it inside directly. However, it would just not have the same amplifying effects as through the array. The Temples Great Gathering was a contest between the greatest powerhouses of the Temple Alliances, where all kinds of idents had already ured. Such a defensive barrier strengthening had been formerly employed in earlier Temples Great Gathering. For instance, the Scion of Samsara of the past had narrowly caused it to get totally torn to shreds. Although the defensive barrier of the Temples Great Stadium covered a veryrge area, the manpower to sustain it was also enormous. Right now, the coboration of all powerhouses from the Six Great Temple instantly strengthened it to an enormous degree. An earthquake like shaking immediately broke out. The area within was already filled with a myriad of flowing lights of every color. Long Haochen and Yang Haoyus figures werepletely submerged in that magnificent light, and the massive shaking was already implicating the whole Holy City, just like a real earthquake. The defensive barrier could sustain severe blows because the ones sustaining it hade flying from all the lounges, reaching at least the eighth step of cultivation. Yet they were sent flying one after another by the huge shock. The whole barrier flickered in multicolored light. Everyone could sense a terrifying might surging inside the barrier. Letting it burst out would cause devastating damage to spread. The defensive barrier could resist the shocks from spiritual energy, but no one was able to cover the surface underneath it, so right now, it started to split from below, causing the whole Temples Great Stadium to sway violently, some cracks starting to form on its floor. Right this time, a multicolored golden light instantly came in midair. As that golden light gained in scale, it covered the whole floor of the Alliances Great Stadium before slowly spreading downwards to start to cover the whole great stadium. The shaking of Holy City stopped atst, but because of the substantial damage caused by this light, the roof disappeared totally. That was a pagoda, flickering in golden light spilling all over the air. On this pagoda were countless golden inscriptions, letting out lusters of various colors. That seven-floored pagoda seemed justrge enough to cover the surface of the Alliances Great Stadium as well as the whole defensive barrier. The instant itnded onto the ground, the earthquake-like shocks were finally contained. Everyone outside of the Alliances Great Stadium was already in a great panic. Every broadcasting magical crystal had been broken into pieces, and the masses were filled with shocking terror. Fortunately, that terrifying earth-shaking as if a mighty dragon rolled over disappeared after only continuing for a very short time. Seeing the immense tower that had risen up in the midst of that split Alliances Great Stadium, gasped shouts arose immediately from the people. Caier calmly remained afloat, stretching her right hand in front of her with her palm spread out. This crushing presence in the midst of the stadium was with no doubt the Tower of Eternity. The current Tower of Eternity waspletely different from before. It seemed much less mystical, appearing closer to a genuine divine tool. Although it didnt reach the level of a supra-divine tool, it had a space shuttling ability, and moreover, an exceeding defensive power. Before the Holy Necromancer Elux got purified, it had already acknowledged Caier as a master, acting right now as an attacker and defender with a spatial teleporting ability at Caiers disposal. The Tower of Eternity issued light chirping sounds whichsted for a long time before gradually calming down. A bright light shed out from Caiers chest, as her right hand was waved at the Tower of Eternity. The Tower of Eternity flew twenty meters upwards before shrinking rapidly,nding back in Caiers hands, to finally turn into an intricate golden jewel twenty-five centimeters long returning to her palm. Caier lifted her wrist, the Eternal Melody shing on her waist, as the Tower of Eternity disappeared without traces into the shape of countless strands of light, and her gaze shifted impatiently back to the direction of the stadium. Right now, the stadium had already recovered its calm. No damage was sustained by the barrier in the end, and the higher-ups from the Six Great Temple with the duty of maintaining the barrier gathered back one by one, with a lot of people looking at Caier. Without the previous suppression by the Tower of Eternity, although it wouldnt have gone to the extent of Holy City getting really endangered, that situation like a dragon attack would certainly have caused a massive disorder to arise in Holy City. The ground of the stadium seemed plowed: the whole ground was dug up with Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu standing on the only two intact pieces ofnd. Long Haochen fell onto the ground, using his two heavy swords to support his body, looking quite pale and having traces of blood flow in the corner of his mouth. But one could clearly see a powerful bright light shining on his chest, indicator of the pulse of the Heart of Eternity recuperating arge amount of light essence. Although Yang Haoyu was still floating, he looked quite wretched, his hair being inplete disorder and the Starry Sky Armor on him having already disappeared. Chen Zidian was gasping for breath: for the sake of maintaining the defensive barrier, he had just expended too much. The two of them couldnt help but gasp in silence when looking at the same direction. I have lost! Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu looked at each other, dering this stance almost simultaneously. Huh? Chen Zidian had a questioning look. Without leaving the time for Long Haochen to exin himself, Yang Haoyu dered, I had a slight advantage in the previous sh, but your spiritual energy recovery speed is far greater than mine, and you can moreover summon the Divine Unicorn back to support you for the rest of the battle. The probabilities of you winning are far greater. No need to say more, I am conceding. After saying this, his figure shed out as he took the leave to walk out through the defensive barrier. Long Haochen looked full of appreciation. He knew that Yang Haoyu was acting on purpose. He was actually the losing side: histent capabilities werepletely squeezed out by Yang Haoyu. If Yang Haoyu had been attacking with all his power from the start, he would have lost long ago. Even thest shes were actually at Yang Haoyus advantage. Even if he were to really attempt killing the opponent, Long Haochen would still only be at most able to inflict him some serious wounds. Chapter 697 - Haoyue, possibility of eight heads (III)

Chapter 697: Haoyue, possibility of eight heads (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Thanks to the Heart of Eternity, Long Haochen recovered his spiritual energy at an even faster speed than Yang Haoyu. But what use was there in that if Yang Haoyu were to not let him have the time to recover? The gap in strength between Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu was still considerable. However, this battle brought him especially huge benefits. In particr, he was given an important lesson regarding a domains uses. Yang Haoyu had conceded for the sake of helping him carry out his n. Very obviously, Long Tianying had already informed him, this number one powerhouse of the Knight Temple, about Long Haochens n. Chen Zidians look was filled with gratification and pleasant surprise, as he nodded to Long Haochen, Then, Long Haochen is victorious, and advances to the fourth round. Since the stadium has sustained a massive destruction, todays matches are to be paused for the field to immediately be restored, and thepetition will resume tomorrow in the morning. If Long Haochens battle with Qiu Yonghao could be said to make him the focal point of attention, his battle with Yang Haoyu gave him famed aplishment. That was a match opposing domains, opposing domain evolution with domain technique, and opposing the two magical beastpanions. Although no one got to clearly see thest shes, Long Haochen had already disyed his power to the whole audience. This twenty-five years old youngster had convinced them all with his strength. Bright Glimmer of Hope would also be regarded just like the other Six Great Temples from that point onward. Walking out from the barriers scope, Long Haochen caught up with Yang Haoyu usingrge strides, bowing to him respectfully, Grandpa Yang, thank you for your help. Yang Haoyu smiled to him, It is not that I helped you, but you just made it off on your own. My original intention was to cut off your drive on the basis that Failure is the Mother of Sess, so that you could look for your own shorings after suffering a tant defeat. But, you managed to reverse my thinking by relying on your strength. You are the most talented youngster I have ever seen, yet you are showing a great steadiness and experience unfit to your age. I am leaving the Knight Temple, as well as the whole Alliance to you. The old guys such as us will be supporting you on the side, so you can be at ease. I can really see humanitys emergence by looking at you, and the possibility of oveing this dark age. If you have nothing else to do,e with me. I have some things to discuss with you. Yes Grandpa Yang. Long Haochen epted hastily, Long Tianying patting his shoulders as he performed another standard knight salute to Yang Haoyu. Although the Alliances Great Gathering had been interrupted in great chaos, it had more than enough manpower involved to take care of the exterior damage, while numerous artisans of the Alliance were assigned to the repairs in shifts. Yang Haoyu quietly led Long Haochen out from the stadium. With their cultivation, remaining unnoticed couldnt be easier. Without proceeding to the Alliances headquarters, Yang Haoyu brought Long Haochen to a familiar ce, the Demon Hunt Squads Pagoda Tower. Due to the Temples Great Gathering, this ce waspletely empty. Recognizing Yang Haoyu, the staff did not even utter a question and left him to proceed to the top floor of the tower. Under Yang Haoyus lead, Long Haochen proceeded with him to the seventh floor of the tower, somewhere he hadnt ever gone before. The sixth floor was used for the Demon Hunt Squads mission announcements, and this seventh floor was a ce only Titled Demon Hunt Squads were qualified to ess for taking missions. Although Long Haochen was already the captain of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, it was the first time he hade here. Upon arriving, he discovered with great surprise another person waiting for them in this seventh floor. Senior Chen, you are here too? Long Haochen asked him, pleasantly surprised to see the legendary chief referee of the Temples Great Gathering, Chen Zidian. Chen Zidian let out augh, Old pal Yang has been throwing flirtatious winks at me before leaving. How could I note? Yang Haoyu replied unhappily, How could you be socking of dignity when you are already so old, old Chen? Pay attention to your words in front of a youngster. Chen Zidianughed, What do you want me to pay attention to? I am just like that. Or, based on that, you should call me great ancestor in terms of seniority. Wow, Haochen! Your performance gave me a whole new level of respect for you today. Long Haochens face flushed, Actually I have lost. Grandpa Yang just let me win on purpose, theres still a great gap between Grandpa Yang and me. Chen zidian shook his head, Dont be tense because of the gap. Its okay as long as you have the potential. You are really an unprecedented case in History. Old Yang, you agree with me? Yang Haoyu nodded, I have never encountered such a genious as this child. I am even feeling jealous of him. Chen Zidian responded, Seeing your battle, I couldnt help but think back about ten years ago. Do you know, old pal Yang, it was ten years ago that I met this guy Haochen for the first time. He was only about fifteen, but I found out about his gifts at that time. I told him that they should give their best to take over my legacy, to inherit the title of the Demon God yers. Yang Haoyu couldnt help but feel submerged with emotions as well, Good eyesight. Chen Zidian chuckled, I have always believed that we Demon God yers were rather famous, but do you know how this guy replied to me? Yang Haoyu had a puzzled look, Could it be that he refused? Chen Zidian continued with aughing face, Of course he refused. He told me that if they could really one day be a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, they did not want to get called Demon God yers, but Bright Glimmer of Hope. I have lived for over three hundred years, but never expected to one day be shocked by a fifteen years old kid. I was brimming with shock that day, and the same went for myrades. Glimmer of Hope, what a well-found game! To bring humanity a glimpse of hope in the midst of darkness. I havent seen any of what they experienced in those ten years, but I can see that all of it has borne fruit. At first, our lives should havee to their end five years ago, as a human cannot go against his fate. But with the start of that Holy War, we were left with no choice but to keep ourselves alive through secret means, and after five more years passed, I can finally see hope, qualified sessors, truly qualified sessors! In fact, Chen Zidian had been following Long Haochens groups return from demon territory. Speaking of which, it was truly the terrible Will of Heaven that they had initially fallen for the trap of the Demon God Emperor. The Demon God yers Demon Hunt Squad had been concealed in Modu Core City all along. And, that year, Long Haochens group having pulled such arge move in Core City, if the Demon God yers were present, they would surely have immediatelye to their rescue. But when Long Haochens group wasing in, the Demon God yers had happened to be running into the end of their lives, so the team provisionally had to withdraw from Modu to look for a secret underground to use the secret means to prolong their lives. Chen Zidians group had already been living for over three hundred years, having spent an even greater part of their lives in demon territorypared to the Temple Alliance. They actually had nothing much keeping them alive since long ago, but during that Holy War, they couldnt bear to leave like that. If nothing was left to restrict the Demon God Emperor, humankind was bound to encounter a massive cmity. After Long Haochens gruop terminated their seclusion in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen had been looking for Yue Ye thinking of getting news from her, but her residence in the Moon Demon n was already empty, devoid of any traces of living. Afterwards, Long Haochen used the contact signal of Demon Hunt Squad in Modu Core City, not expecting to get hold of Chen Zidian, leader of the Demon God yers. And there, Long Haochen learnt about the many changes that urred on the continent during these past years, as well as obtaining news about the Temples Great Gathering on the verge of being convened. Chen Zidian had followed Long Haochens group back, and had given advice for Long Haochen to decide after discussion, that they should directly participate in the Temples Great Gathering with only one goal: to put an end to the current scattered state of the Temple Alliance. Hearing Chen Zidian speak about nearing the end of his life, Long Haochens expression darkened unconsciously, lowering his head in silence. Yang Haoyu responded smilingly, No need to feel that way, Haochen. If you can show the hope of breaking out from the dark era before old Chen departs, I believe that he will be able to leave with a smile. Chen Zidian nodded with a beaming look, Exactly. Old Yang, you must have called out this youngster here for some purpose. Speak straight. Yang Haoyu replied, Originally, when Tianying mentioned about having him take over the lead of the Temple Alliance and that the time hade to establish a whole new Alliance, I was still skeptical. But in todays match, he persuaded me with strength, and I have decided to support him wholeheartedly. The Alliance had been dispersed for far too long, but with the end of the Holy War finally came the best turning point. I believed that all other Temples clearly witnessed todays match. Old Chen, do you think we should end the Temples Great Gathering ahead of time to avoid wasting more time? Chen Zidian shook his head, It wont do, the Temples Great Gathering is no trifling matter. And to these youngsters, its also a significant experience. Lets rather keep thepetition going. Or could it be that you dont believe in Haochen? Even if he cannot defeat Li Zhengzhi in a one versus one, I am very confident in their results in the next teampetitions. Yang Haoyu dered, In that case, lets keep it going. Haochen, I have actually called you here today to warn you about another matter. Please, do tell. Long Haochen replied respectfully. Yang Haoyu dered, Establishing a new Alliance is a must, and our objective this time is to establish an Alliance with a highly centralized state power. You may even call it a nation. Your current strength is already sufficient, but you are stillcking an important thing. A Divine Throne. Hearing about Divine Throne, Long Haochen couldnt refrain from shaking. He still remembered vividly the first time he witnessed in shock the use of a Divine Throne by his father. The Divine Throne of Doom and ughter had left him a just too deep impression, giving him at that time a longing for bing a Divine Knight one day. Chapter 698 - Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (I)

Chapter 698: Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales When are you nning on taking the Divine Thrones trial? Yang Haoyu asked solemnly. Long Haochen replied, The first thing I n on doing after the Temples Great Gathering terminates is to return back to our Knight Temple to take on the trial of the Divine Thrones. But its not only me: Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang will alsoe along. As they have already broken through the ninth step, they should have this qualification. Yang Haoyu nodded, You are indeed all qualified. I have called you over today in the hope that you can prepare yourself. If your objective is the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, you have to give it a deep consideration from today onwards. Long Haochen was shaken. He knew that Yang Haoyu should be the only living powerhouse of the Knight Temple to have formerly attempted to gain the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Although he had failed, that experience was certainly the most precious thing that came out. Yang Haoyu asked, Do you know why I have finally not be a Divine Knight? Long Haochen tried to answer, Is that because you have been wholeheartedly focused on obtaining the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation? Yang Haoyu showed a bitter smile, Speaking of which, this is a matter regarding Starry Sky. When I was young, after climbing over the Temples Great Gathering, I had not manage to find a magical beast fitting me. Therefore, just like you, I went to look for one through the summoning array. Your multiple-headed magical beast should be from there. Speaking of which, we were both really lucky. I also gained the approval of Starry Sky there. The Starry Sky Mythological Beasts true power is fusion. It doesnt have any attached offensive and defensive abilities, but can draw out power from the starry sky to help me train and battle. Also, as my cultivation grows, its ability also grows gradually. This gave it the reputation of the number-one star-manipting mythological beast. In some ways, although the Divine Thrones are the signboard of our Knight Temple, the other five Divine Thrones alone will all bring me benefits far below Starry Sky. Starry Sky is not only a divine tool-like existence to me, but an exceptionalpanion helping me in cultivating. My talent is actually far below old Chen, but it is Starry Skys assistance that enabled my current attainments. But, Starry Sky didnt give me the choice; it told me that it wont attach itself to any divine tool of lower quality than itself, so I could only challenge the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, only to end up failing. Long Haochen came to a sudden realization. So, Yang Haoyu turned out to have such a story. Yang Haoyue replied, What amazed me today was not your cultivation, but the gap between Starry Sky and your multiple-headed magical beast. When you called out that multi-headed beast at the critical juncture, it caused Starry Sky to flee provisionally with just a roar. Its the first time I have had such an encounter ever since concluding my contract with Starry Sky. Do you know what thoughts Starry Sky spread to me at that time? Long Haochen shook his head. Starry Sky was terribly afraid... as far as I remember, Starry Sky has always been proud, even when bing my contractedpanion. But that was the first time I saw such a cowardly side of it. After the match ended, I asked it just what happened. After bing silent for a short while, it told me that, just like its the number one Starry Sky, your multi-headedpanion is the very first demon god that came to be. The two of them are existences of a whole different level, and Starry Sky did not agree to tell me more about it. The first demon god that came to be? Seeing the look of shock on Long Haochens face, Yang Haoyu couldnt help but show great astonishment, Could it be that you dont know the antecendents of this magical beast of yours either? Long Haochen shook his head, At the time I summoned Haoyue in this world, he had just the looks of a lizard. At that time, he was covered in bruises... Then he went on to rescue Haoyue with his own blood at once, causing his second, light elemental, head to grow, after which Haoyue kept evolving, getting stronger and stronger, and he exined in a simple sentence that he even had the ability to destroy demon god pirs. Hearing Long Haochens story, Chen Zidian and Yang Haoyu exchanged nces. These two legendary beings appeared filled with shock. They were originally under the belief that Long Haochen had relied on that pure light power as the Scion of Light to destroy demon god pirs. Only now did they realize that it was actually Haoyues ability. So it was actually to make use of the blood contract between Haoyue and you to kill Haoyue that the Demon God Emperor wanted to kill you. Just what could Haoyue be to even cause the Demon God Emperor to fear him... Chen Zidian had a pondering look. Even with his over three hundred years of living, he had no clue on what kind of magical beast Haoyue could be. Yang Haoyue heaved a smile, No need to think on it too deeply, old Chen. Although we dont understand Haoyues antecedents clearly, we can be sure that he will be of great use. Could it be that you dont understand the binding of a blood contract? Hes simply akin to a part of Haochens body. Hearing this, Chen Zidian finally revealed a look of relief. Since that was the case, with the binding of the contract, there was no shorings in getting Haoyue as strong as possible. Yang Haoyu told Long Haochen, It looks that with those two huge bulges on the two sides of this magical beasts neck, he has the possibility of growing even more heads. With six heads, hes already at the peak of the eighth step, so once he evolves, wouldnt his strength rise to an unimaginable measure? As long as his cultivation reaches roughly the third rank of the ninth step, he will be certain to possess a domain ability. And then, with him joining with you, I willpletely be no opponent for you, making you the real number one powerhouse of the Alliance at that time. Haochen, try to hurry the matter and help him achieve his breakthrough. Long Haochen nodded. Actually, over this period of over four years, Haoyue had not only recovered from all his wounds, but moreover his strength made huge leaps: in those years, a part of the spiritual energy he absorbed from the Tower of Eternity was passed on to Haoyue, who had an incredible umtion of power. Since his umtion was sufficient, he could already make a breakthrough at anytime. But, Haoyue told him by mental transmission that this breakthrough would very possibly draw out the strongest existences of his realm. Those powerhouses had long since taken the greatest measures, knowing that if they couldnt stop Haoyue from evolving this time, they would never possibly restrict Haoyue. So, Long Haochen needed to take absolutely safe precautions as this rted greatly to Haoyue and his teams life or death. After this Temples Great Gathering terminates, Long Haochen wanted to strive for acquiring a Divine Thrones approval before helping Haoyue make his breakthrough to raise the certainty of managing to help Haoyue make his breakthrough. Yang Haoyu dered, Apart from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, all five of the others can only be called reproductions. Although they all reach the level of divine tool, they are onpletely different levelspared to the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. With your talent and cultivation, you are bound to gain the approval from these five Divine Thrones, making you directly able to be a Divine Throne. But to really be the owner of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, you must undergo its trial. Back then, I failed to pass it. Trial? Long Haochen asked curiously, Grandpa Yang, what is the trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation about? Yang Haoyu replied, This is what I wanted to tell you about, the primary reason for my failure of that time was... Long Haochen, Yang Haoyu and Chen Zidian had a private discussion for over one hour before exiting the Demon Hunt Squads Mission Pagoda. Yang Haoyu told him about a lot of miraculous aspects of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, while enlightening him a lot on the subject of domains, giving him plenty of benefits. The chaos of Holy War gradually appeased, and thanks to the hard work of the powerhouses from the Six Great Tempels, the social state of Holy City returned to normal. The Temples Great Gathering was in the midst of getting restored. At least a thousand artisans were involved, but by chance the defensive formation inside didnt suffer any damage, so only outside repairs were needed. Under the joint efforts of so many artisans, it took a day to finish restoring it all. Second day, morning. When Long Haochen led Bright Glimmer of Hope to return to the Temples Great Gathering, they almost instantly became the focal point of all powerhouses from the Six Great Temples. Thest three matches were rapidly undertaken, and twenty-four contestants came out of the lot. After the termination of the third round, every winning contestant had gained four total points. After these matches went on, the Knight Temple only had five contestants left, with six for the Mage Temple, three for the Spiritual Temple, two for the Assassin Temple, and only one left for the Warrior Temple. Bright Glimmer of Hope was the greatest ck horse, with a total of seven people left. After three rounds, some variations were seen in the total scores. The Knight Temple had sixty-six points, the Mage Temple sixty-five, Bright Glimmer of Hope, fifty-six, the Spiritual Temple, forty-two, the Assassin Temple, thirty-four, and the Warrior Temple had twenty-four. With only ten contestants, Bright Glimmer of Hope had actually risen to the third ce after three rounds, and, although a gap still separated them from the top two, catching up wasnt feasible. Only a gap of one point remained between the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple as well. The individualpetition was already at its final climax. The fourth round was bound to change the final rankings the most greatly: these matches would enable every contestant to gain a worth of over eight points. Without a doubt, Bright Glimmer of Hope had already be the hottest topic in vogue: up to seven of the twelve matches would involve them. Chapter 699 - Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (II)

Chapter 699: Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Chen Zidians dignified voice reverberated once again, Fourth rounds of the individualpetition, start. Two lights of selections came, producing swishing sounds. After travelling through the air, one of them directly fell on the lounge of the Knight Temple. This was the most probable, as, after all, the Knight Temple had five people left for this fourth round, while Bright Glimmer of Hope had seven of them, making for over half of the contestants left from the third round. In a flicker of light, a knight from the Knight Temple was picked alongside a powerhouse from the Mage Temple. The fourth stage of thepetition started with intense shes. After that great battle opposing Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu yesterday, todays Li Zhengzhi looked extremely calm, seated on the first row of the Mage Temples contestant booth. Like he ordinarily did, he carried a faint smile on his face, as if Bright Glimmer of Hopes outstanding performance had nothing to do with him. In the fourth rounds, the ones left seemed to be only powerhouses of the ninth steps, and only excellent figures at that. Thepetition thus became increasingly heated. After one hour passed, a half of the twelve matches went by. Three of Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks had appeared. Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin passed the ordeal, while Zhang Fangfang lost to Li Zhengzhi. For the seventh match, when the light of selection illuminated Long Haochens body, the whole audience became quiet. Long Haochen did not look any different from yesterday, still carrying a light smile on his face, and dispersing a gentle aura. But now, no one underestimated this captain of Bright Glimmer of Hope anymore. Yang Haoyu was not very well-known before his match against Long Haochen, but after the shes of domains, Yang Haoyus identity rapidly spread ear by ear. The number one powerhouse of the Knight Temple! The ones that really came to this realization during this match were still after all very few, and all the great majority knew was that Long Haochen was the final victor of this match. For such a young Titled Demon Hunt Squad Captain to defeat in session the number one powerhouses from the Warrior Temple and Knight Temple, Long Haochen and Bright Glimmer of Hope had already became the main target of attention. The splendor of the Six Great Temples was already outshined by their strong performances. For the fourth match, Long Haochen entered the stage once again. But, amazingly, it had to be wondered whether this could be called the Will of Heavens or really terrible luck, as he had this time to confront another domain wielder, as well as one of the most well-known powerhouses of the Temple Alliance, the head of the Spiritual Temple and wielder of the Beast Emperor Domain, Chen Hongyu. Seeing that he had drawn Long Haochen as his opponent, Chen Hongyu couldnt help but shiver lightly. The one he was the most unwilling to face off against was actually Long Haochen. In the battle between Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu, he had already understood that there was quite a gap between Yang Haoyus cultivation and his own. Although Long Haochen could be said to have had a modest victory against Yang Haoyu, the fact he had managed to keep up in such a situation was more than ample to prove this youngsters dominant power. In less than five years since theirst confrontation, he already became a domain wielding powerhouse. Losing against him would certainly be a great loss of face. But even winning against such a young person would be nothing glorious. So when Chen Hongyu came out from the Spiritual Temples side, hisplexion was quite unsightly. Long Haochen was no Chen Yinger, so as the head of the Spiritual Temple, he naturally couldnt just concede, much less just throw the game. Long Haochen took the lead to walk into the stadium, paying his respects to Chen Hongyu, performing a standard knight salute in front of him, Greetings, Temple Head Chen. En. Chen Hongyu only nodded, Lets start. He was unwilling to speak more. This match could only be an all out effort; after all, Long Haochen couldnt bring out offensive weapons such as in the previous match. Naturally, he was able to tell that if he hadnt had the Sword of Life and Creation formed with those two divine swords, Long Haochen couldnt possibly cause those two evolutions of his domain. Winning against Long Haochen was not impossible for him. Putting the rest aside, hes a powerhouse reaching the third rank of the ninth step, and Long Haochen should not yet have attained the third rank. However, Chen Hongyu really had a bad affinity with Long Haochen. Back then, his face off against Bright Glimmer of Hope should originally be a totally one-sided match for him, but who could imagine that the instant Long Haochens six-headed beast came out, his four-headed chimera immediately lost all fighting strength, and up to now, Chen Hongyu had yet to understand what kind of magical beast Long Haochens mount could be. Thinking about how his summoned beast would certainly be suppressed, he did not feel good at all. However, in this match, after all, he didnt have Chen Yinger to suppress his domain, so his Beast Emperor Domain was able to disy its full power. But whether it would hold water was heard to say: in the past years, Chen Hongyus cultivation also increased significantly, be it in his control over his domain or his control over his summoned beast and his quality of summons. Lifting his hands, milky white radiances appeared in Chen Hongyus palms, turning in a blink of an eye into a milky-white ball of light floating in front of him. No equipment could be used, so one could only make an imitation made of spiritual energy. A gate of light instantly took shape behind Chen Hongyu, and his figure shed, directly disappearing after passing through the gate. The Divine Unicorn reappeared in front of Long Haochen. It wasnt that he found that sufficient, but Haoyues abilities were just overly overbearing and likely to cause injuries. As this was the Temples Great Gathering and not a battle against demons, he wouldnt lightly let hime out unless absolutely necessary. With the rise of his cultivation, Haoyues tyrannical and destructive aspects rose at extreme speed, and Long Haochen sometimes had difficulty to control well his emotions. The Divine Unicorn was not the same: Star King had followed Long Haochen since the time he was just a Starlight Unicorn, and couldnt have evolved without him. Therefore, although there was no binding pact between Long Haochen and him, he had extremely deep feelings toward Haochen. And moreover, following a Light God Body owner such a Long Haochen was extremely beneficial for his cultivation. Unicorns were innately close to light, so who else than Long Haochen could get as intimate to him? Still, Star King had his own issues. Having evolved into a Divine Unicorn recently, he was still in the midst of adapting, and unable to use a lot of a Divine Unicorns abilities. Otherwise, the boost he had provided in yesterdays match to Long Haochen would in no way have been so simple. One of Long Haochens hopes was to stir up Star Kings potential through continuous battles, to genuinely make him a Divine Unicorn. A terrifying roar shook up the whole stage as a huge figure came out from Chen Hongyus summoning gate. This huge figure was a whole fifteen meters tall, standing as imposingly as a mountain, and its whole body covered with white hairs flickering in metallic lusters. Standing vertically, it pounded his pair of huge fists onto its own chest, issuing loud _Dam Dam Dam_ sounds. Long Haochen had never seen such a huge orangutan before. Amongst magical beasts, orangutan were all powerhouses, not only possessing unyielding capabilities, but, moreover, a much higher intelligence than ordinary magical beasts. His powerful physical capabilities, nimble speed, and very dangerous attacks made them one of the favorite targets of summoners. When Long Haochens group faced off Chen Hongyu five years ago, he had not seen this magical beast, be it because Chen Hongyu intentionally did not call it out back then or did not have it yet. From the fluctuations it released, one could determine that it was certainly one of Chen Hongyus nine possible pacted magical beasts, and not an ordinary summon. And, to Long Haochens shock, Chen Hongyus presence totally disappeared after he stepped into this light gate. None of his mental inspections actually managed to find traces of his presence. Just what summoner ability could that be? That huge orangutan roared, and immediately rushed toward Long Haochen at frantic speed, elerating all the way. In only two dashes and one leap, it was already in front of Long Haochen. Abruptly raising its two hands, it immediately punched straight into Long Haochens face. Before its palm arrived, a terrifying gale was already whizzing through, and more terrifyingly, a terrible cold air enveloped both Haochen and the Divine Unicorn at the time the orangutan punched out. An ice-element magical beast of the tenth rank, equivalent to a human powerhouse of the ninth step. This punch alone was sufficient for Long Haochen to sense its great power. Against a summoner, the greatest priority was to stop the opponent from calling out all his summoned beasts. The piercing chill was not only highly invasive, but moreover caused their speeds to drop down. Long Haochen didnt avoid such an attack, crossing his hands to form a parrying posture. With a sound of _bang_ , a lot of people unconsciously believed that Long Haochen would get pushed away by this punch, but the final result was theplete opposite. Upon contact of that domineering fist with Long Haochenspletely contrasting hands, the orangutans figure visibly froze, his body being ejected the next instant. It smashed all the way towards the light gate. The Divine Unicorn pped its wings and brought Long Haochen to chase all the way. A huge golden sword appeared in midair. Carrying some simrities with Qiu Yonghaos Sword Intent Domain, that huge light-swords domineering sword intent instantly locked onto the orangutan, chopping down. To say nothing about Long Haochens Heart of Eternity, his internal spiritual energy reached 290,000, so even if his cultivation was a bit weaker, the Divine Unicorn he rode should not be forgotten! The Divine Unicorns boost of his spiritual energy was at least of a hundred thousand, totalling over 150,000 if Sacred Light was to be added up. Otherwise, Long Haochen couldnt be a match in yesterdays domain sh. This Ice Orangutan was a powerful magical beast of the tenth rank, but only equivalent to an initial stage powerhouse of the ninth step. In a direct sh, its ice attribute was no match for Long Haochens light and neither was its spiritual energy a match, naturally causing it to be ruthlessly sent flying. Chapter 700 - Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (III)

Chapter 700: Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The Temples Great Gathering did not allow one to wound or kill the enemy, but summoned beasts were exceptions! Seeing Long Haochen, his sword strike looked about to take the Ice Orangutans life. Only when facing it for real could one truly realize the extent reached by his sword intent. Reaching the level of materializing the swords soul, the eruption of his sword intent reached a quite higher level of power than Qiu Yonghao. That Ice Orangutan had an indescribable sense of terror, and was instantly pressured to a great extent, and locked into an inescapable state. All it could do was to shout grudgingly, crossing its hands to block the attack. But everyone could tell that the sword strike overflowing with might that came down was really not something he could block. All of this took ce just too fast. In Chen Hongyus view, Long Haochen was in the end Chen Yingers captain, and wouldnt in the end go immediately for the kill. This Ice Orangutan he sent actually didnt have much utility, except from hopefully dying Haochen. But Long Haochens sudden burst of power not only showed him Haochens great strength, but moreover caused him to get panicky and hastily elerate thepletion of his spell, totally wrecking his rhythm. But Chen Hongyu was indignant at Long Haochens really too fast burst of power, making him already toote for the rescue. This Ice Orangutan being one of his pacted magical beast, in case Long Haochen was to kill it, his strength would get seriously affected. Moreover, a summoner has great emotions towards his pacted magical beast. For a moment, Chen Hongyu couldnt help but be greatly furious, great surges of emotions rising into him. Split in two in a sword strike? Of course not, Long Haochen was the Scion of Light, not a Scion of ughter. And moreover, he was facing one of his allies from the Temple Alliance, not a demon. When that huge sword looked about to split the Ice Orangutan, the sword de was suddenly reversed, the attack turning into using the t part, beating the Ice Orangutans arms. In yesterdays battle against Yang Haoyu, Haochen waspletely suppressed cultivation-wise, but the opposite happened today with this Ice Orangutan, whose spiritual energy waspletely suppressed by its opponent. _Bang._ The Ice Orangutans body smashed the stiff ground, fragments of ice sttering on his chest, the defensive magic attached to him gettingpletely pierced through. Its head took a direct fall, and from the looks, it hadpletely lost its fighting strength. And that was Long Haochen showing mercy! After breaking the Orangultans arms, his massive sword intent shot up above its head, causing it to lose consciousness. If he really wanted, he had at least ten means to kill this magical beast of the tenth rank without much effort. With a wave of his hand, an intense bright light gushed out all around Long Haochen, shrouding the whole field in a sh. A sweet sounding echo came: the Light God Domain! Right now, he gave off the feeling of going all out, not showing any reserves nor probing. After that huge light sword defeated the Ice Orangutan, the amplification of the Light God Domain could be sensed, instantly gaining in substance. Long Haochen waved his right hand, and immediately shot a projectile directly at that light gate. This aside, both Long Haochens hands were crossed in front of his body, and after the Heart of Eternity pulsed thrice, another white-colored de flew up, chasing after that huge light sword and directly causing it to turn into an incandescent color. The terrible sword intent even caused cracks to appear on the defensive barrier opposite. The Light God Domain was not only about domain domination and elemental domination! It caused all Long Haochens light attribute abilities to gain a terrifying boost. This blow fused sword soul and sword intent in one. Looking at Long Haochens disyed move from the booths of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao finally understood that Long Haochen had been lenient on him that day. Being able to utilize Sword Soul was not as simple as only owning it. Of course, this was aplished with the help of the Light God Domain. After discussing with Yang Haoyu and Chen Zidian, Long Haochen had already returned to train in seclusion for the rest of the previous day and until the matches of today? In just a day, he had gained a whole new understanding of his domains capabilities. Naturally, his cultivation developed ordingly. His newestprehension acquired through battle was naturally showing the greatest effects. After his resurrection, Long Haochens greatest regret was Yatings disappearance. As his heart was smashed into pieces, the spiritual stove fused with her disappeared then, and even the ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove left along with it. In the process of thinking back about Yating, Long Haochen gained a deeper level of understanding toward sword intent, which is how he gained sword soul. At the time he had first made use of sword soul, he faintly became aware that Yating was not dead for real. She seemed to still be existing in a part of his body, but just couldnt be vividly sensed. He believed that as long as his sword soul could grow stronger, there woulde a day that he would be able to awaken Yating from her slumbering area. Sword soul, as the name implies, consists of bestowing a soul to ones sword. A sword intent with no sword soul wouldntst for too long. As a result, an attack from sword intent would frequently becking in adaptability. But with a soul in the sword, sword intent gains myriads of variations, making it inevitably far more powerful. In the past, when the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang had attained this realm, he had be the number one talent in the Warrior Temple. And now, Long Haochen clearly also attained it. On the Knight Temples lounge, Yang Haohan couldnt help but nod secretly to Long Haochen. The match they had yesterday was mostly a contest of domains. If at that time, Long Haochen had used his sword intent fused wih sword soul along with the Light God Domain, that would be a great threat against him. Only, because the two of them were immersed in a sh of domains, Long Haochen just did not use it. _HouuC_ A thunderous roar rang out, and immediately, a four-colored luster came out from that light gate, colliding with Long Haochens huge sword. Speaking of which, that four-colored radiance were really bizarre. Upon shing with Long Haochens huge sword fused with sword intent and sword soul, it not only stopped the advance of the huge sword, but also condensed into four spherical projectiles of different colors. Long Haochen urged out his sword intent, and abruptly, the Light God Domain shrank, gathering its amplifying effects. And that instant, those four projectiles blowed up. A terrifying sting force instantly caused massive pressure onto the defensive barrier outside, to the extent of forcing Chen Zidian to once again intervene personally. Long Haochens immense light sword was smashed to thin pieces, as he was pushed a hundred meters away alongside the Divine Unicorn in a deep shock. The light gate erging, a massive figure rushed out from within. That was nothing else but Chen Hongyus contracted beast, the four-headed chimera. Seeing that four-headed chimera, Long Haochen almost had the unconscious urge of summoning Haoyue. In front of Haoyues blood suppression, this four-headed chimera should not be of any use. But, very rapidly, Long Haochen dispelled these thoughts because he sensed that this four-headed chimera seemed to have grown to a whole different level from before. The first change was relevent to Long Haochens previous attack, which already exerted all his strength. Even a powerhouse of the third or fourth rank of the ninth step would find it strenuous to respond. That was an attack mixing both sword intent and swords soul, but it was simply received like that by the four-headed chimera. It was far from being as powerful previously, and the difference was really very wide. The other change was that in the eyes of this four-headed chimera, Long Haochen could see a great wrath and extremely fierce human nature. Thats? Without leaving Long Haochen the time to ponder over the issue, the four-headed chimeraunched a powerful attack, all four heads spitting breaths simulteously, not aimed directly at Long Haochen, but gathering in midair to turned into a four colored ball shot sharply at Long Haochen. In the meantime, a four-colored radiance of blue, red, yellow, and green instantly spread out from the four-headed chimera. That was actually a four-elemental domain. Chen Yinger was in great rm seeing this scene, murmuring, Wow, Grandpa! To actually have achieved contracted fusion, he really has already broken through the third rank of the ninth step. Lin Xin asked curiously, What is a contracted fusion? Chen Yinger replied, Thats the fusion between a summoner and his contracted beast. Grandpas current strength has made one with the four-headed chimera Xingxuan. But the downside is that he cannot utilize any more summoning magic that way. However, Xingxuans strength has been greatly upgraded, and is now fully under Grandpas control. Her abilities have risen to a next level, havent you seen the domain Xingxuan has just unleashed? Puhu. Lin Xin suddenlyughed. Chen Yinger asked in puzzlement, What are youughing about, has-drugs-bro? Lin Xinughingly replied, Oh, I suddenly realized that if you rise to the third rank of the ninth step, you will have this contracted fusion ability. Wont that turn you into a pig? Wahaha, so funny! You! Chen Yinger erupted in fury, fiercely pinching Lin Xins waist. The others already couldnt help but burst out inughter as well. Thats actually exactly the case. McDull being just a little pig, if Chen Yinger undergoes contracted fusion with it, that will really turn her into a pig! In the stadium, Long Haochen was able to sense abnormalities in the four-headed chimera, but hadnt guessed that this was a contracted fusion between Chen Hongyu and Xingxuan. Four elemental chaotic magic. Although that was just a simple spit, the authenticity of its might was already proved. Long Haochen didnt dare tarry. Raising his right hand, a bright white glow came out instantly in the empty space, bombarding that four-elemental cage. Instant cast, Light of Trial. At the time this Light of Trial burst out, it emitted a clear and all around-spreading sound. All around it, series of angels were faintly seen revolving. In the midst of a loud explosion, the four-elemental cage ruptured, and although its massive sting force engulfed the Light of Trial, it didnte flying toward Long Haochens side until the end. Chapter 701 - Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (I)

Chapter 701: Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (I)

Trantor: GravityTales In the Light God Domain, all light magic would instantly gather into Long Haochens possession. Even a forbidden spell would work that way. In the meantime, the exhaustion of his spiritual energy was minimized to the greatest extent. After Light of Trial was utilized, the horn of the Divine Unicorn let out another glow of divine light, causing Long Haochens body to turn multi-colored. From the looks of it, theirbination seemed like a divine tool. Long Haochens right hand was pointed forward once again, dispersing a mystic white halo from the Light God Domain. A strange scene followed, the white ring of light emitted by the four-headed chimera Xingxuan unexpectedly melting like snow. After which, it did not keep spitting at all, stabilizing their own domain with full focus. Thats? Elemental Obliterating Halo? Chen Hongyu was in a state of shock. Never did he expect Elemental Obliterating Halo could possibly attain such a level, to even be able to weaken a domain. This was definitely not merely a simple Elemental Obliterating Halo, but should be an Elemental Obliterating Halobined with a Gods Descent. With the boost from the Light God Domain, Elemental Obliterating Halo already approached the forbidden spell level. Moreover, it had great restraining effects on elemental abilities, making it a perfect counter against Xingxuans domain. Against Yang Haoyu whose cultivation far exceeded his own, Long Haochens Light God Domain could only withstand domain shes, but in front of Chen Hongyu with whom the gap of cultivation was not so wide, he had the opportunities to show the various uses of this Light God Domain. An Elemental Obliterating Domain approached the forbidden spell grade, yet consumed only ten thousand spiritual energy out of him. Just three beats of his Heart of Eternity were sufficient to replenish these ten thousand spiritual energy. The Elemental Obliterating Halos effects were even greater than in his expectations. Long Haochen suddenly had a sh of understanding, this time, he extended his finger to the sky, as the Heart of Eternity in his chest pulsed rapidly. One could clearly see a golden htion spread out at an astonishing speed from Haochens body, clear proof of an extremely high spiritual energy output. The Light God Domain pulsed abruptly, and its scope suddenly became a t zone, epassing a circr area, and looking the same as a spinning woman in long skirt, minus the sexy areas. The round golden area became more and more substantial, and in a wave of Long Haochens right hand, the now spherical Light God Domain unexpectedly broke away from his body. He was visibly quite a bit tired, faint traces of sweat visible dripping from his forehead. When the Light God Domain separated itself from his body, Long Haochens Heart of Eternitys pulse reached an extremely high speed, to the extent that even the outward spectators could hear its beat. Ring upon ring of multicolored light was also released from the Divine Unicorn, giving its all to boost Long Haochen. Just what kind of ability could that be, for it to take up such a massive spiritual energy? The most startled of all remained Chen Hongyu who had believed that Xingxuans four-element domain should be able to suppress Long Haochens Light God Domain. But when the sh came for real, he realized that this judgement was mistaken. Indeed, thebination of the four natural elements should be superior to light, but thats only it terms of overall efficiency. Long Haochens Light God Domain was just too pure, entailing light element of peak purity, which already put it on a different standardpared to the four-element domains elements. The release of Elemental Obliterating Halo then suppressed his domain at once, and this time, Long Haochen unexpectedly stretched his domain to a huge diameter of a hundred meters. Just what could he be nning? The suppressive force from the Light God Domain disappeared at once, as it stopped conflicting with the four-element domain. Yet, in its ce, Chen Hongyu had a feeling of increasing danger. The four-element chimera Xingxuan snarled from all its heads, spitting four lightning bolts, all of which went off to bombard Long Haochen. This was Chen Hongyus trump technique. It should not be underestimated because of its short time of preparation. This strike alone used up over a third of the spiritual energy of the fusion between Xingxuan and him. It already surpassed an ordinary forbidden spell in power, while also stretching over thirty meters The golden circles edge made contact with that four-element bolt. A bizarre chirping sound suddenly rang out throughout the whole stadium, immediately followed with that four-elemental bolt getting severed and forming whirls around the circlic area. That bolt which should be of iparable power suddenly broke down into four bolts of different colors in the shape they had before merging together. The next instant, it all went extinct in the midst of those chirping sounds. In the meantime, that golden fog of light slowly advanced, making contact with the shrunken four-element domain. A terrible scene emerged. The four-element domain was suddenly on the edge of getting cut apart, A huge unmanned expanse was filled with light and cut through, and from the elemental shes, the four-element domain continuously let out fierce rumbles, each of which caused a four-colored fog to disperse from the four-headed chimera, which had to withdraw as a result. Right now, those powerhouses of the ninth step all saw clearly the reason behind Long Haochens sphere of light, revolving at extremely fast speed, and shaking abundantly. Even more terrifyingly, it had effects simr to the forbidden-spell level Elemental Obliterating Halo. One could wonder how terrifying its cutting forces level reached. This was clearly a... Domain Technique! Li Zhengzhi lost his voice. After Long Haochen got suppressed by Yang Haoyus domain technique the day before, today he showed a pleasant surprise to everyone present here: a Domain Technique emerging from the Light God Domain. If Long Haochen had told them that this Domain Technique had actually emerged just now, in a sh of inspiration, who knew if someone would believe in that. But that was just how that happened. Moreover, Long Haochen clearly sensed that if he couldpress this spherical area into a smaller area, this Domain Technique would reach an even more terrifying level of power. The principles behind this Domain Technique were simple; it used Long Haochens self-created Light Ripples as well as Elemental Obliterating Halo manipted through the Light God Domain. This process was simple to describe, but achieving it was extremely difficult. If not for Long Haochens Light God physique and perfect maniption of his Light God Domain, how could he make use of a technique emerging from his domain, thus creating his own domain technique? At this point of the match, the victor was already determined. Although Chen Hongyu and Xingxuans contracted fusion was a powerful thing, they were suppressed domain-wise, and moreover their spiritual energy recovery was no match against Long Haochen. Adding to that this domain technique of a higher notch of his, he had no other choice than to concede. Rapid fluctuations kept fluctuating, as the terrible rotating light de was nearing him. Chen Hongyu was actually really unwilling to concede in thepetition. Still, the words I concede came out from Xing Xuans fourrge heads, giving Long Haochen quite a surprise. At this time Long Haochen finally understood that Chen Hongyu turned out to have used some mystic technique to fuse with his contracted beast. This way, even if Haoyue was called out, the blood suppressions effects would not be as formidable. Turning back, the chimera dejectedly made way into the gate of light, and the next instant, Chen Hongyu came out, an unsightly expression on his face. As someone regarding his own face with great importance, he really couldnt ept being vanquished by a youngster such as Long Haochen. That was really hard to bear deep in his heart. But even so, what could he do about it? Its not as if he was even able to beat the other party. Whats the name of your previous domain technique? Chen Hongyu asked gloomily. Long Haochen was startled, Domain technique? Oh, right! That previous sh of understanding, was nothing else than a domain technique, I call it Divine Light Waltz! Divine Light Waltz? Chen Hongyu let out a snort, returning on the side of the Spiritual Temple without even turning his head back. Sanshui Popo apanied her husband back, and couldnt help butugh upon looking at his flushed look, Let it be. Why get angry with youngsters? Youre not even the first one he has beaten. Even Yang Haoyu and Qiu Yonghao have lost. Theres no loss of face. Chen Hongyu snorted, What else than a loss of face could that be? Do you know how old he is? Sanshui Popo had a ring look, What are you enthusiastic about? Do you really need me to tell you that having an old age should not be a premise for ambition? Whats even the use of living for a hundred empty years? You old thing, hurry back. Listen to me and dont cause troubles for the children. Chen Hongyu felt a chill. Although Sanshui Popos words were unpleasant to him, it called attention to him. With no doubt, at this session of the Temples Great Gathering, Long Haochen and Bright Glimmer of Hope had all undoubtedly showed disys of strengths that would give them a decisive position in the new Alliance, especially this Long Haochen. And Chen Yinger being hisrade, her husband was reminding himself that he shouldnt be a cause for their unwaverable friendship to get swayed. Thinking back about how Long Haochen had not hesitated to confront the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus for Chen Yingers sake, Chen Hongyusplexion became gentler at once. However, he was still unwilling to admit defeat in the verbal arguments, Yinger is really unlucky. If not for a little scoundrel called Long Haochen, our familys Yinger should be the leader in her generation. There was no mistake in what he said, except that this was not only the case for Long Haochen alone, but also Caier. Chen Yinger was also a prideful talent of innate internal spiritual energy exceeding ny. But due to her disposition, her mastery differed to some extent from the likes of Long Haochen or Caier. Chapter 702 - Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (II)

Chapter 702: Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # This was a whole generation of talents, and moreover, these extremely outstanding talents were all gathered together. Long Haochen immediately shut his eyes after returning, silently contemting on his previous use of the Divine Light Waltz. This was his very first time using that ability after instantaneousprehension, as well as his very first Domain Technique. Only when he really put a Domain Technique into use, could that domains formidable strengthe out to a truly great extent. Chen Hongyu fusing with his four-headed chimera was already nearing the peak of the third rank in strength, but was left without means in front of his domain technique, ultimately able only to concede. Only, Long Haochens control over this Divine Light Waltz was still too weak. He was unable to even guarantee that he could utilize it another time. Since he had a sh ofprehension of it, he couldnt let it slip. His powerful Light God physique once again showed a great level of decisiveness. Thepetition still kept going, and once again, the greatest winner of these fourth rounds was still Bright Glimmer of Hope, having already achieved three victories by the time of the fifth match out of twelve. Moreover, they had some individuals who had yet to appear, these people being Caier, Chen Yinger and Sima Xian. Sima Xians disys finally came to an end. Facing one of the auxiliary heads of the Mage Temple, a domain wielding powerhouse, he may have at least put up a fight if he had the Gigantic Ball of Light at his disposal, but unfortunately, without his weapon in hand, though he may have inconvenienced the enemy with his thunder manipting spiritual stove, he was still pushed out of the field in the end, thus eliminating one person among Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks. In the eighth of the twelve matches of the fourth round, the light of selection finally illuminated Caier, her opponent being one mage from the Mage Temple. Her figure shing, Caier floated out immediately. The instant her footsteps pushed onto the ground, she had already shifted in the field. Speaking of which, Caiers luck was much better than Long Haochen in the first three individual rounds. She did not have any tough battles: even in the third round, she had run into a rather weak opponent, passing through this ordeal with no difficulty and without even using her domain. Actually, even Sima Xian had a higher reputation in this gathering. When Sima Xian had just lost his match, the spectators both in the stadium and outside let out series of regretful sighs. They really found his coarse and wild fighting style very attractive. Of course, Caier was not really inconspicuous either. At least, since the previous day those powerhouses who had caught sight of the Tower of Eternity did not see her that way. However, the outsiders did not get to catch sight of that scene. Caiers opponent was a veteran mage, d in a simple ck gown and with clear silver hair. His eyes were really characteristic, devoid of the slightest blemish, they contrasted with the wrinkles on his aged face. But these purple eyes looked really simr to a lot of noble demons. This old mage was named Mo Wu, and even within the Mage Temple, very few were familiar with him, to speak nothing of the external Temples. He had a title of elder from the Mage Temple, and hadnt shown any prominent disy, achieving victories without any shy moves. Up to this fourth round, Caiers only impression on this mysterious Mo Wu was the darkness element he wielded. No one would view the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope in contempt because of their young age anymore. Upon his entrance, Mo Wus downcast chant reverberated immediately. Caier didnt go invisible, spreading out the huge grey spiritual wings on her back, which turned white the next instant. In a split second, she arrived right in front of Mo Wu. In terms of instant eleration, even the six-winged Long Haochen was no match for Caier. In the previous match, Caiers matches were concluded with overwhelming speed. This mage Mo Wu was visibly already prepared. Continuously chanting as a dark purple triangle arose, his body suddenly disappeared right when Caier came in front of him. Huh? Caier was slightly rmed, _could this dark mage have used some instant shift?_ In fact, this match did not permit the use of any equipment. The next instant, this mage Mo Wu already appeared in another direction, with a spinning dark purple triangle visible underneath him. _What technique is that?_ This was the first time for Caier to see such a thing. That was very clearly a self-created technique. She obviously couldnt let the opponentplete his magic. With a cold snort, her body shed once again, but this time, with a lift of her right arm, a huge pure white sickle had appeared in her palm. The Sickle of the God of Death couldnt be used, but could be imitated. After all, that was the weapon she held with the greatest mastery. The Sickle of the God of Death swept at the air, immediately causing a spatial crack to appear. It was a small crack, but the instant it appeared, an essence of some unknown element immediately gathered, and that crack actually disyed a massive attractive power. Not only that, but the Sickle of the God of Death in Caiers hand swept at six angles, where simr cracks appeared, stirring up all the elemental essence in the stadium and causing a state of spatial chaos. She did not know what the opponent did, but a darkness element mage cannot possibly execute teleportations, which means that some spatial magic was surely mixed in. Stirring spatial chaos was obviously to prevent her counterpart from teleporting. All of this happened very fast. Seeing the flickers of pure white colors originating from Caier, Mo Wus expression changed slightly. The next instant, Caier reappeared in front of him, the Sickle of the God of Death shing in her hand and slowly hacking at him. Its de edge carried a sharp, highly invasive aura. But to shockingly, Mo Wu did not draw back, but stepped up instead, pointing his right hand at the empty space, where a purplish ck ray took shape. Just as if the air had be his drawing board, he drew a specific imprint with his hand. What Caier sensed waspletely different from the onlookers. With these gestures, Mo Wus body immediately looked illusory, and countless Mo Wu shapes arose in front of her, causing his opponents murderous spirit which had locked on to him to be fainter. In a white sh, that purplish ck ray disappeared, and this instant, Mo Wus magic waspleted. Purplish-ck pirs appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Caiers body in a sh, turning into a circr cage trapping her within. Hells Cage, a powerful darkness attribute spell of the ninth step. Caiers sickle was swept horizontally, but only passed through, as if there was no collision at all. But when she tried to rush out with her body, she immediately felt an acute sting spread all over her body as the massive darkness element directly prated inside her body. Thats... Caier was startled, but had the same calm disposition as usual. She did not panic in front of this kind of situation, her Sickle of the God of Death disappearing, she ced her hands in front of her chest, her eyes even closing down. She seemed to be sensing something, looking for a hole in the Hells Cage. Seeing his Hells Cage being so effective, Mo Wu couldnt help but reveal a dim smile. As he kept up the incantation, some purplish-ck htion spread underneath his feet, and very quickly, these htions took a solid form, ascending over his body to take a shape close to an altar. Raising his right hand, a ck staff appeared in Mo Wus hands. Although only formed with spiritual energy, it made him look extremely sumptuous and mighty right now. Purplish ck rays circted around the top of the staff, turning into a magnificent mage gown covering him, and instantly causing his demeanor to gain greatly in might. A terrifying pressure arose itself around his body, arge area of purplish-ck clouds revolving around the altar he had created. As these purplish-ck htions fluttered, some electric light could faintly be seen on it. Since when did the Mage Temple have another powerhouse like that? This was clearly the power of a domain! Those from the other five Temples couldnt help but cry out in rm. This Mo Wus attainments and cultivation were far higher than they expected. Not only was Caier trapped by this mage, but he moreover disyed a domain, which was clearly purely a boosting domain. His next magic would surely gain an impressive deal of might. Some purplish-ck symbols started to drift around the altar as his downcast chant reverberated through the whole stadium. One could faintly see the ground turn unwittingly into that purplish-ck color. The cracks left earlier by Caier also closed entirely. Destructor of darkness, ruler of darkness. Descend, Dark Sovereign! As his chant went on, Mo Wus eyes shot up with purple electric light, and a purple hexagram appeared in front of his altar. There, a massive image started to take shape, drifting inside that hexagram. It was a human figure measuring about five meters, d in a dark purple armor, and with a pair ofrge curved horns extending from the back of its head. But as that individual was masked, his face was not visible. In his right hand was a huge sword, gushing out with purplish-ck light. Just as he appeared, he gave off an incorporeal pressure. Even the defensive barriers defense gave off a kind of stifling feeling. What a powerful dark mage! Lin Xin couldnt help but remark in rm. This was clearly a formidable dark mage, who had furthermore summoned a Dark Sovereign of terrifying strength, whose might could evenpare with the post-fusion four-headed chimera of Chen Hongyu. Chapter 703 - Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (III)

Chapter 703: Domain Technique, Divine Light Waltz (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The Mage Temple actually had such a killing move in store, this was really something no one expected. If only Boss was the one facing him. Han Yu couldnt help but let these words slip. Mo Wu was a dark mage, so Long Haochen had the Light God Domain to suppress him perfectly, and had naturally no fears to have. But how about Caier? The strongest of Bright Glimmer of Hope was undoubtedly Long Haochen followed by Caier. The blow if Caier were to lose her match would be considerably huge to them. Be at ease, Caier will surely make it. Long Haochen had already opened his eyes at some point. The start of Caiers battle and the huge threat confronting her immediately came to his senses. Right now, Caier seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage, but was that really the case? After the Dark Sovereign appeared, it did not let out any special sound. Floating in midair, he arrived in one stride in front of Caier locked by Hells Cage. Lifting the huge sword in his hand high, he abruptly struck it onto Caier. Afterpleting this magic, Mo Wu 8had his eyes shut, sitting cross-legged above that dark altar which was his domain, able to increase sharply the might of all his darkness elemental magic, as well as increase his magic recovery. Perhaps this couldnt be counted as a very strong domain because of its important limitations, but if one were to allow him to take control of the battle, that domain would show the most of its capability. Facing the strike of the huge sword, Caiers body disappeared instantly and without the slightest prior indication. Mo Wu noticed almost instantly that the dark purple triangle appeared again. Right away, his body disappeared from that altar. White traces appeared on that dark altar, instantly smashed it to pieces and turned into countless purplish ck airstreams. Caier appeared right where Mo Wu used to be, floating there. Mo Wu was shocked, because he had no idea how Caier escaped from his Hells Cage. That was a locking magic of the ninth step! Furthermore, Caier had shown no signs of movement from there! How could he know how strong Caier had gotten after breaking through the ninth step? The instant that Hells Cage had surfaced, she had used a Doppelganger technique to be trapped in her stead, and at the same time utilized Invisibility. Another persons Doppelganger couldntst for so long, and would immediately get found out in front of a mages sharp senses, so they would not even be able to escape the lock of the Hells Cage. But Caier was not the same. As the Saint Daughter of Samsara, she had the power of purification. Being an assassin with the most optimum gifts, she wouldnt be fit to be called such if she was unable to escape the opponents lock. However, for the sake of keeping her Doppelganger stable, she couldnt blindly go into action after escaping, or it would immediately disappear. Only when Mo Wus summoned Dark Sovereign had attacked did Caier abruptlyunched an attack. However, Mo Wu really had a precise judgement, using his teleportation like technique to escape Caiers hit once again. Even so, his garment was dripping in sweat. If he were just a bit slower, Caiers attack would havended on him, therefore achieving victory. The Dark Sovereign visibly sensed something going wrong, and a dark purple radiance gushed out from his chest. It was not directed at Caier, but at Mo Wu who had just gotten teleported in front of him. Figure shing, Mo Wu suddenly disappeared in the dark purple radiance originating from the Dark Sovereign, for a simr result to Chen Hongyus previous performance. This way, unless Caier vanquished the Dark Sovereign, she would have no way to attack Mo Wu. This was what Mo Wu felt to be his only solution. The most optimum situation would be to have the Dark Sovereign attack Caier while he recovers his spiritual energy. That way, given enough time, he could even summon another Dark Sovereign. But this was not possible anymore: although he couldmand the Dark Sovereign while merged with him, none of his spiritual energy could be recovered in that situation. To say nothing about making use of that domain, his only possibility of victory was now to beat Caer using this Dark Sovereign. Mo Wu had a definite faith in the Dark Sovereigns capability. Just in cultivation alone, it had the strength of the ninth steps second rank. Yesterday, Caiers Tower of Eternity had truly shocked everyone present, but that was after all an object, prohibited in this individualpetition. While empty-handed, could an assassin really win against a heavy armored Dark Sovereign? Done running around? The corners of Caiers mouth traced a cold smile. Of course she knew that their greatest rival in this trip was the Mage Temple, and would show no kind feelings to a mage from the Mage Temple. The Sickle of the God of Death formed of Light of Purification was slowly raised; she did not fly again, but came running in front of the Dark Sovereign. The Sickle of the God of Death dragging behind her, Caiers eyes turned white. Her absolutely cold and beautiful demeanor surged, forming along with her massive sickle a magnificent yet mystical scene. Although her opponents disy was also quite dazzling, this scene caused the absolute majority of the spectators to unconsciously put their faith on Caier. After all, dark creatures were originally abhorred, to say nothing about Caiers beautiful yet so young traits. The Dark Sovereigns eyes shed with a purple glint, his right feet stomping heavily onto the ground as he took hold of his massive purplish ck heavy sword in both of his hands. The most frightening aspect of this Dark Sovereigny in his extremelypact wielded darkness spiritual energy. It was not externalized, but attached onto his weapon, which gained a great deal of bursting power. Caier did not evade, nor did she use any special technique, just brazenly swungg down her Sickle of the God of Death, her whole body flickering with white light, as her imposing manner rose to the peak. Despotic Strike! That was an ability evolved from Despotic Thrust. Right now, Caiers move was full of an indescribably powerful tyrannical force. _Ding._ In a tingling sh, the Sickle of the God of Death in Caier hands broke down. After all, that was not the real Sickle of the God of Death, just a condensation made of spiritual energy. In terms of offense and defense, it was far below the Sickle of the God of Death of divine grade. But that Dark Sovereign was not well off either. One could clearly see that during the sh between the two opponents, the purplish-ck aura spreading out from his body was totally repelled, as if trying to break away from his body, while his movements also turned sluggish. Caier really showed an unyielding performance, condensing another Sickle of the God of Death in her hand. An unrestrained white glow shed out in the air, causingcerating sounds to arise from the loud explosive sound of a chop at the opponents heavy sword. The Dark Sovereign let out a low howl, causing purplish-ck colored fog to rise up, and rise sharply its imposing manner as well. Purplish-ck blisters rushed up from underneath the ground, turning into countless purplish-ck rays interweaving in the air. That was a domain, the Dark Sovereigns domain. Although no one here knew its name, that was no doubt a domain specialized inrge area attacks. Those previous ck blisters were not all Mo Wus, but from this Dark Sovereign: a creature of darkness of the second rank of the ninth step, which already had its own domain. The darkness summons of this Mo Wu were simply even more frightening than the Spiritual Tempels. But what shocked the crowd even more was the scene of Caiers next move, already about ten meters above the Dark Sovereigns head. The Dark Sovereigns domain had already erupted, and as that was a crowd attacking domain, it did not give the slightest space to possibly dodge the attack. Mo Wu was already fully prepared: as long as Caier would be unable to resist anymore, hed immediately stop the attack, but an unforgettable scene came next to his sight. Floating in midair, Caier took a praying posture, and cleansing white glows turned into petals spreading downwards. A miraculous scene took ce. Upon contact with these white lights, the purplish-ck radianceing out from the Dark Sovereigns domain immediately dispersed into nothingness. As those falling white petals kept increasing, the dark purple light became lesser and lesser, just as if purifying flowers had suddenly grown from the midst of the boundless darkness, bringing an universal hope. In this fantastic purification, all darkness was changed to nothingness, gradually giving ground to the light. Li Zhengzhi opened his mouth wide in shock. He could grasp some of the theories behind Long Haochens Light God Domain, as it was, after all, purely relevant to light. But the disy of Caiers domain far exceeded his knowledge. That power... The Dark Sovereigns body shook slightly. Raising his head to look at Caier in midair, his body suddenly shivered upon sight of the Domain of Purification dispersed at rapid speed around her. Immediately, he reappeared right on the edge of the stadium, lifting the heavy sword in his hand, shing it rapidly, causing a dark purple hexagram to surface and immediately making way inside. What followed was a scene of an abruptly shaking Dark Sovereign before Mo Wus body was also thrown away, as the Dark Sovereign directly disappeared in that purple hexagram. The Dark Sovereign having just gone away, his domain naturally dissipated as well, leaving only a sweaty Mo Wu. He did not understand why the Dark Sovereign left so hastily despite being in no position of inferiority. Could it be that it was starting to rain as he had left some clothes to dry? This monstrous question shed in Mo Wus mind, as the only thing left in the air was Caier with her unleashed domain, calmly confronting him. I know that while you major in darkness magic, you also have a mastery in spatial magic. Perhaps your spatial magic can allow you to keep teleporting, but I want to see if your teleporting can seed while in my Domain of Purification. White light spread in front of Mo Wu. The instant his body came in contact with Caier, he immediately understood why the Dark Sovereign had fled in panic. An indescribable pain surged in the depths of his soul. As his body shook intensely, he abruptly stated, I concede. Chapter 704 - Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (I)

Chapter 704: Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (I)

Trantor: GravityTales There was no other choice but to concede! That terrifying Domain of Purification seemed to suppress the darkness attribute in a way no weaker than a light attribute domain. Not only was his spiritual energy purified, but moreover, his soul was the target. Even more terrifyingly, the purified spiritual energy was the core of his power. That is to say that under the effects of the Domain of Purification, his cultivation would continuously decrease. How could Mo Wu bear such a loss? As for the escape of the Dark Sovereign, his only reason was that he was afraid, having gotten caught by a terrible sense of dread. Perhaps he was strong enough to put up a fight against Caier, but how about after that? If the Domain of Purification were to purify his soul, he would be gone forever. The Dark Sovereign was no idiot, and he had no deep bond with Mo Wu, only a special connection. How could he be willing to throw his life away for the sake of this connection? That was simply impossible. Just go die by yourself if thats what you want but dont implicate me. After sensing the terror of the Domain of Purification, the Dark Sovereign instantly fled. Caier slowlynded from the sky, retrieved the petals forming Domain of Purification, and shed out of the match ground after shooting a nce at Mo Wu. Actually, the most disadvantaged in this individualpetition out of Bright Glimmer of Hope was Caier. Although she did have her Domain of Purification, her real fighting strengthy mostly in the Sickle of the God of Death she had been cultivating since young. Without the real weapon in her hands, she had no way to wield the seven arts of the God of Death. Furthermore, in times of battle, the Sickle of the God of Death would be struggling to get out, so not only could Caier not use it, but had moreover to put some of her focus on suppressing it. So it would be already pretty good for Caier to wield a half of her strength in this individualpetition, and her terrifying bursting force could by no means be disyed. The fourth match in Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks was designated. They had already upied a third of the spots, and moreover had a person who had yet to take part. When Chen Yinger went on stage, she encountered thest leftoverpetitor of the Assassin Temple, and managed to achieve victory by the means of her powerful summoning magic. The fourth match having ended, time hade for the fifth and more terrifying leader match. The individualpetition having reached this point, Bright Glimmer of Hopes advance was already unstoppable. A group of ten, formed with two powerhouses reaching the peak of the eighth step and eight reaching the ninth step, with four domain wielding powerhouses among the lot. Their captain Long Haochen had disyed the use of the two ultimate weapons known as domain technique and domain evolution, managing to defeat two Temple Heads and the number one powerhouse of the Knight Temple. A lot of people sensed that this Temples Great Gathering would inevitably get recorded in the annals. And they were still so young; if they were given enough time to keep growing, destroying demonkind wouldnt be impossible. Although each of the Six Great Temples had its own way to do things, which caused the Temple Alliance to be rtively dispersed, their struggle for over six thousand years of dark era against demonkind had alreadysted for far too long. Who knew how much blood of how many powerhouses of the six Temples had flown. Bright Glimmer of Hope were really showing them a glimmer of a new dawn and causing indescribable feelings to rise up in a lot of peoples minds. If there was one thing it brought to them, they would definitely dere that its hope! Each victor of the fourth round could gain eight points, and after passing through this hurdle, the Knight Temple had only two people left, the Mage Temple had three, the Spiritual Temple had two, and Bright Glimmer of Hope had two! The Assassin Temple and Warrior Temple were already eliminated. Thanks to this fourth round, five of them had already earned forty more points, giving them a proud lead score of ny-six points after getting added to their previous fifty-six points. The Mage Temple was second with eighty-nine points, the Knight Temple, third with eighty-two points, the Spiritual Temple fourth with fifty-eight points, the Assassin Temple still had thirty-four points and the Warrior Temple remained at twenty-four points. As it was already noon, if the Temples Great Gathering proceeded normally, the winner wille out today. Although the schedule was dyed with yesterdays incident, the matches still had to go on. The Five Temples and Bright Glimmer of Hope had already gotten the news that no matter howte it ends, the individual matches need to be done with today. The matches in the Temples Great Gathering did notst for long; these were definitely not matches of long time endurance, the main reason for that being the demon threat: what if demonkind took advantage of the return of a great amount of powerhouses from the Six Great Temples to the Holy City tounch arge scale raid. As a result, although the Temples Great Gathering was taking ce once every ten years, the specific starting time would be fixed at thest moment to prevent the demon side from grasping their rhythm. So the time of the gathering waspressed as far as possible, to enable to powerhouses from all Temples to return as soon as possible when its all done. This was especially the case this time, as a series of new policies and important matters pertaining to the whole Alliance needed to be discussed. After the fourth rounds were over and the points were totalled, the fifth round of matches immediately took ce. It had a total of six matches, and although based on the prior patterns, Bright Glimmer of Hopes five remaining members would get ced in five of the matches, running into each other was not impossible for them. But in short, Bright Glimmer of Hope would have to face at the same time the top of the Knight, Mage, and Spiritual Temples. Every one of their remaining members had gotten over sixteen points, but although Bright Glimmer was currently in the lead, that lead was not yet stable and could change at anytime. The first match was already a great sh of power. Chen Yingers good luck seemed to be finally exhausted, the Light of Selection havingnded on her and the head of the Mage Temple, Li Zhengzhi. Long Haochens expression changed slightly, looking face to face at Chen Yinger, before she nodded back to him, standing up and slowly advancing toward the stage. In this match, Li Zhengzhi was especially calm. Although Bright Glimmer of Hope had gotten prideful results, he remained impassive, his feelings devoid of the slightest ripple. Who knew if he really did not care about them or had other kinds of thoughts. Currently, the only leftover Temple leader was Li Zhengzhi, the other four having all gotten eliminated. Him facing Chen Yinger right off the bat really rose the excitation of the spectators to the peak. This Chen Yinger was a domain wielder as well! Could Bright Glimmer of Hope keep bringing nice surprises to everyone here? With a faint smile on her face, Chen Yinger advanced to the field, performing a salute to Li Zhengzhi. After all, Li Zhengzhi was still a senior. Li Zhengzhi nodded slightly, and performed an inviting gesture. With his status, theres naturally no way he could rush to take the first move against someone of Chen Yingers age. Chen Yinger directly sat cross-legged before starting a chant, without the slightest defensive measure taken beforehand. Looking at her, Li Zhengzhi couldnt help but smile in reaction. What a girl! She was clearly taking advantage of his unwillingness to take the first move. But even if I dont take the first move, do you really think I have no other means? Li Zhengzhi maintained a slight smile, but still kept standing still and started a chant. A fantastic calm filled the whole stadium. Ever since the start of the Temples Great Gathering, this was the first time two mages were facing off each other without the slightest probing attack. An insipid entity spread out from Li Zhengzhis body, very rapidly taking shape on his back, forming green light interwoven around him. Being shaped into into an erged version of Li Zhengzhi, its chubby looks actually gave off a silly feeling of cuteness. Seated on the Knight Temples side, Long Haochen couldnt help but feel a chill of rm. Li Zhengzhi used a sort of wind god summoning magic, but which took less than twenty second toplete. The formidable power of this spell reached the forbidden spell level without a doubt. That was just crazy. Furthermore, that was aplished without any equipment, and in the meantime, Li Zhengzhi had yet to even deploy his Wind God Domain. Chen Yinger seemed not to be perturbed by Li Zhengzhis magic at all, still continuing her chant, which continued in an even more obscure and redundant manner. After that, some changes finally couldnt help but ur to Li Zhengzhis face, because he couldnt identity the spell corresponding to her incantation. As a peak level mage, Li Zhengzhi may be unwilling to make the first move, but was even least willing to remain passive. So he immediately made preparations for a forbidden spell, this way no matter what kind of magical beast gets called out by Chen Yinger, he could be confident in being able to destroy it with his magic. Even if Chen Yinger woulde with an especially strong magical beast, he could still make use of the Wind God Domain to boost his own magic. It was not that Li Zhengzhi couldnt cast multiple spell, but he didnt see such a need. Moreover, maintaining a magic after cast without releasing it woulde with a veryrge spiritual energy consumption. He really did not expect Chen Yingers cast to take such a long time. For this girl being a powerhouse of the ninth step as well to need such a long time to achieve her chant, just what level could this summoning magic reach? Although Li Zhengzhi had some ideas on the matter, he had still underestimated the chanting time Chen Yinger would take. In a blink of an eye, three minutes had passed, yet Chen Yinger was still going on, and her spell had yet to take effect. If it wasnt because he already knew that Chen Yinger had reached the ninth step, Li Zhengzhi would be thinking of her to be faking a chant. Just what chant couldst so long? Girl, if you keep going on like that, this old man will make his move. Li Zhengzhis dim voice reverberated in the whole stadium. Even for his face, he couldnt waste his energy in this Temples Great Gathering. Maintaining this forbidden spell depleted his spiritual energy rapidly, and as other matches wereing next, an excessive consumption would very clearly be unfavorable to him. Chapter 705 - Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (II)

Chapter 705: Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Right after Li Zhengzhi was done speaking, Chen Yinger suddenly opened her eyes and showed him a sweet smile, giving the reply, Done. Saying that, Chen Yinger lifted her hands and extended her fingertip, pointing her palms upwards, as if releasing something. Immediately, roars from myriad beasts came gushing out from her body like a tsunami, but moreover, it was apanied with the images of countless magical beasting out behind Chen Yingers back. Is that a domain? But how could a domain need such a long chant? Li Zhengzhi recognized in a nce a powerful summoner domain. Could that be the same Beast Emperor Domain as her grandfather? Chen Yinger had disyed the use of her domain in the previous matches, but only in the shape of single targeted amplifications of magical beasts, aimed at most at two targets, but seeing such arge area extended domain from her was really a first. The next instant after Li Zhengzhi was filled with those questions, his look changed. Light gates surfaced in an orderly manner behind Chen Yingers back. Seeing these, the most shocked were no one else but those from her own Spiritual Temple. Even the head of the Spiritual Temple Chen Hongyu was dumbstruck by this scene. He never thought his own granddaughter to be able to utilize such a magic. He was also puzzled over why Chen Yinger had been chanting for so long. Even after having been in control of the Spiritual Temple for so many years, he had no memories of such a long chant from their Spiritual Temple. Even summoning a magical beast of the ninth step wouldnt need so long! Otherwise, in the battlefield, a summoner had the time to die a hundred times in thepse of three minutes. Right now, Chen Hongyu was really crushed by his own granddaughter, and the same went for every present summoners, who never expected a single summoner to be able to disy a strength reaching such a peak. Just count these gates: one, two, three, four, five Counting them in a nce was simply impossibel. These gates formed an immense semi circr shape, as if surrounding and protecting Chen Yinger. In the midst of those myriad beasts roars, all the light gates opened at the same time, letting magical beastse out one after another from within. There were a total of thirty-six light gates, from whence thirty-six magical beasts immediately came out right upon appearance. Seeing these magical beasts, Li Zhengzhis look became slightly better: they only reached the eighth step and not the ninth. If Chen Yinger was able to summon thirty-six magical beasts equivalent to powerhouses of the ninth step at once, that would really be overly terrifying. But even so, Chen Yinger summoning magic still shocked the whole audience. Thirty-six simultaneous magical beasts of the eighth step, what was that? That would be enough to turn the tides in a whole portion of the battlefield in just a few instants. So Bright Glimmer of Hopes most powerful member was this summoner? The other members of Bright Glimmer of Hope had their own conclusion on whether Chen Yinger was the most powerful, but one thing was certain: she was a gods chosen one just like Long Haochen and Caier. Even if she may not have earned as much as Long Haochen and Caier in these years, she was in no way inferior. This summon before her eyes had depleted all her spiritual energy, but what if she had her Saint Spiritual Robe? Would the chanting time even be so long? And the same goes for her spiritual energy. Even Long Haochen hadnt had a clear understanding of Chen Yingers real strength; right now Bright Glimmer of Hope could already be said to have in some meaning three cores, one of them being Chen Yinger. In the previous match, Chen Yinger had exercised great restraint, but finally came out with her full strength when facing Li Zhengzhi. After returning the day before, the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope convened a simple meeting, as they were certain to run against Li Zhengzhi on today. But how should they counter him? They very rapidly reached a conclusion: no matter who encounters Li Zhengzhi, that person has, while making an all out effort in battle, to deplete to the greatest extent the opponents strength. After all, even though Li Zhengzhis strength was not at Yang Haoyus level, it should not differ too much. It was because the other side let him win that Long Haochen had managed to win against Yang Haoyu, but in a one versus one, Haochen was not confident in being able to surely defeat Li Zhengzhi. But their Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was a whole, and a whole was bound to be even stronger than separate individuals. And since the individualpetition would end today anyway, better focus on the team battles. Zhang Fangfang had previously effectively depleted Li Zhengzhi, but since a lot of matches had gone on since then, his spiritual energy should have already gotten replenished. But in this match, Chen Yinger had already resolved herself to at least make Li Zhengzhi use up the overwhelming majority of his fighting strength if she could not defeat him. Chen Yingers n went on right off the bat, making plentiful use of Li Zhengzhis high esteem of his status toplete her summoning spell ofrgest scale. Thirty-six magical beasts of the eighth step appearing in the stadium simultaneously had absolutely shaken the whole audience. Although these magical beasts were of different races, they listened wholeheartedly to Chen Yingers orders! Right off the bat, they madly charged at Li Zhengzhi. Li Zhengzhi snorted coldly. Mere magical beasts reaching the eighth step were nothing in his eyes. Even if they were even more numerous, at his cultivation level, killing magical beasts of this level was just too simple. As he waved his hands, the massive green figure on his back immediately drifted away, both hands raised to the sky releasing green moon-shaped des. It appeared like an uncrossable barrier standing in front of Li Zhengzhi. But his look grew unsightly once again the next instant. Chen Yinger issued a shriek, and immediately, the myriad beasts images that hade out previously solidified, rushing at the magical beasts of the eighth step that had surged out, and attached themselves onto them, causing the beasts to start undergoing rapid changes. A gigantic ck bear bellowed loudly, swelling to twice its previous size growing twice asrge, as its hairs astonishingly started to turn into a dark gold color. In the midst of roars, it let out terrifying seismic waves aimed at the wind god called out by Li Zhengzhi. Evolution! What Chen Yinger had utilized was obviously not the same Myriad Beasts Domain as Chen Hongyu, but her Mythologic Beast Domain! Being the Beast Gods Chosen One, a unique Saint Spiritual Daughter to havee in existence in the human world, her boosting ability on magical beasts fundamentally even exceeded Ye Xiaoleis back in the Illusory Paradise. Under the boost of the Beast Emperor Domain, these magical beasts of the eighth step all evolved to the ninth step, turning into thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step, releasing a terrible might which frantically pounced on Li Zhengzhi. A miscalction! Li Zhengzhi had immediatelye to this judgment, causing him to have traces of regrets. He really should not have let Chen Yingerplete her previous magic! Thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step and thirty-six magical beasts of the eighth step were two fundamentally different concepts. Afterpletion of these global boosts, Chen Yinger sat down in a quite weakened state, but still had the energy to ferociously utter, Everyone, get rid of him! Thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step pouncing on a single opponent was a really spectacr sight. The pair of massive moon-shaped des in the Wind Gods hands managed to stop the attack of three magical beasts of the ninth step, but then started to get somewhat unstable. Ninth step would be the assessment based on human cultivation, but in terms of magical beast grade, these would be magical beasts of the tenth rank. They may not be as strong as the four-headed Medusa or Divine Unicorn, but as magical beasts of tenth rank, they still reached the peak of magical beasts. Simply said, right now it was as if Li Zhengzhi was assaulted by the whole Golden Foundation Knight Regiment. That lineup didnt feel any easier to face. Not daring to take things easy, Li Zhengzhi immediately unleashed the Wind God Domain, not daring to let these thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step unleash all their power. If it really went like that, himself aside, even the Demon God Emperor could find that situation troublesome. Right now, Li Zhengzhipletely red up. A strong disy of power immediately surged out, as a terrible hurricane immediately swept all the thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step. Immediately, the beasts attacks got twisted aside while slowing down under the hurricanes effects. This was not a simple domain. For constricting so many magical beasts of the ninth step, that could only be a domain technique! For the sake of safety, and to make sure to achieve victory in this match, Li Zhengzhi had no other choice but to utilize his own domain technique. That terrible hurricane was entirely colored dark green. Everywhere it passed, every magical beast it encountered was getting cut frantically. If these were magical beasts of the eighth step, their bodies would certainly get smashed to pieces under attacks of this level. But magical beasts of the ninth step were not the same: their defensive power was far stronger than at the eighth step, so there was no immediate danger for them. Chen Yinger ignored this situation, only silently sitting there to replenish her spiritual energy, the little pig McDull being held in her arms. Li Zhengzhi having restricted these magical beasts thanks to his domain technique, his Wind God Summonings power started to emerge. With the boost from the Wind God Domain, Li Zhengzhis wind god incarnated body gained an explosive burst in speed and offensive power. In a sh of green light, that gigantic bear stood like nothing in its way, while in response his incarnation got repelled ten meters back in the st of the bears palm attack. But in front of the Wind God Domains amplification, an attack of this level was nothing. The look on Li Zhengzhis face did not improve just because of getting rid of one magical beast of the ninth step. Quite the opposite, it got even more strained. A domain techniques spiritual energy consumption could only be described as terrifying: even with his internal spiritual energy having already broken through 400,000, he couldnt keep utilizing it for too long. He had only one choice left now, which would be to take advantage of the situation to get rid of Chen Yinger. This way these magical beasts would go out of control, causing a better turn for his situation. Chapter 706 - Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (III)

Chapter 706: Mythological Beasts God Fights Wind God (III)

Trantor: GravityTales But Chen Yinger could not be killed as this Temples Great Gathering was no battle of life or death! So in some meaning, Chen Yinger was making perfect use of the rules. So, he could currently not attack Chen Yinger, as a summoners body was the weakest, causing Li Zhengzhi to really fear killing carelessly such a genius. But unless Chen Yinger was killed, these magical beasts wouldnt go out of control. If they kept besieging him, even if getting rid of the majority was possible, that would take him just far too long... Furthermore, the summoning spell having beenpleted, these thirty-six light gates closed up and disappeared, but these magical beasts wouldnt return to their original dwellings unless Chen Yinger consented. Thus, killing them was the only way to conclude this battle. Havinge to this urate conclusion, Li Zhengzhi didnt show any more hesitation. Crossing his hands in front of him, two glistening green surges of light red out from his eyes. A frantic fighting intent rose from Li Zhengzhi, the hurricanes from the Domain Technique deriving from the Wind God Domain suddenly slowing down. That Wind God Summons body swiftly returned to Li Zhengzhi, and unexpectedly enveloped him inside before shrinking and making its way inside Li Zhengzhis body. Right now, Li Zhengzhis body was entirely colored a dazzling green. His right hand shot up, a palm-sized wind de came flying out, appearing unstable, and visibly constituted of green wind. In a blink of an eye, itnded against a magical beast of the ninth step which had its speed slowed down greatly as a result, just as if it had fallen in a quagmire. But even so, what could a mere wind de produce for a magical beast of the ninth step other than tickles? But the next instant, Li Zhengzhi disyed the power of his second Domain Technique. With a light Pop, that green colored wind de nimbly made way into the body of the magical beast of ninth step, and a secondter, thetter turned into a green color, eyes flushed green, and abruptly sted apart, not even leaving any stter of flesh, just disappearing in the midst of these wind des. This is... Chen Yinger was dumbstruck because she did not understand at all what Li Zhengzhi just did. While she was so shocked, Li Zhengzhis hands shot in session, releasing simr wind des as just before. The results were identical. Everywhere these wind des passed, no magical beast of the ninth step could bear the attack: all of them went in extinct in a cold breeze, leaving not even a corpse behind. The look in Long Haochens eyes was extremely heavy, gradually seeing through some of the mysteries behind Li Zhengzhis second Domain Technique. The true essence of wind He has already grasped the true essence of wind. Whats the true essence of wind? Thats freedom. By causing the freedom disyed in wind to rise to the peak, this second Domain Technique was created. Right, this second Domain Technique used by Li Zhengzhi was called Freedom. Over thirty magical beasts of the ninth step dissipated in this freedom. And when the final one dissipated, Li Zhengzhis body swayed, but the look in his eyes was still as grave. Letting out a tyrannical roar, McDull in Chen Yingers bosom leaped up, erging in the blink of an eye. The instant itnded onto the ground, a lot of eyes turned toward Chen Hongyu unwittingly. Thats because McDull had just transformed into Chen Hongyus contracted magical beast, a four-headed Chimera. Groaaa. Four spits bombarded straight onto the Wind God Domain. But as McDull was just shapeshifting, his strength differed quite importantly with a real four-headed Chimera, so these four spits didnt make one, but were only thrown separately. But, even so, that attack reached the ninth step. However, a Domain Technique derived from the Wind God Domain was indeed powerful. When these four spits came in, they were immediately first slowed down by the hurricanes, before immediately breaking down and turning into nothingness. Lifting his hand, Li Zhengzhi formed another wind de in his palm, calmly dering to Chen Yinger, I dont want to cause your contracted summons death. Just surrender. Seeing the cold look in Li Zhengzhis eyes, Chen Yinger slowly stood up and snorted, If equipment were allowed, you would not necessarily have achieved victory against me. Li Zhengzhi smiled to that, but didnt say anything. As a senior, he couldnt say like-wise, my equipment is not below yours. The green wind de in his hand came flying, rushing straight toward McDull. Chen Yinger had a fright. After so many magical beasts of the ninth step had just gotten killed by these regr-looking wind des, she really did not dare to gamble with McDulls life, and hurriedly shouted, I concede. The wind de dissipating in the air, Li Zhengzhis domain instantly vanished, leaving him looking obviously pale, although his footstep were still rather steady. Chen Yinger tiredly returned to herrades side, pouting and visibly dissatisfied with the results of her battle. Boss, do you think that with my best setup, I could have had better chances to achieve victory? Long Haochen smiled to that, Dont be so displeased. Li Zhengzhis cultivation is really at a formidable level. You already did very well Yinger. Although he didnt really know to which extent Li Zhengzhi was really exhausted, the use of thetters domain plus two Domain Techniques should havee with a considerable consumption. At least, Li Zhengzhi couldnt possibly get back to his optimum state before his next match. Bright Glimmer of Hope had another member eliminated, but no one found Chen Yingers performance to be a losers. She had just summoned thirty-six magical beasts of the ninth step! That was more than enough to withstand a Demon Emperor Legion. A summoner reaching such a state could already not simply be said to have reached the peak level. The sh of lightnded this time on Lin Xin, opposing him with a knight. The strongest ones in the Knight Temples were Yang Haoyu and Long Tianying who were already eliminated, but the Knight Temple still had two contestants in this fifth round. From this, one could well imagine how powerful these knights were. Lin Xin was on the verge of facing a domain-wielding Holy Knight of the ninth step. Entering the stage, Lin Xins expression immediately became all the more serious. He knew that this was going to be his greatest hurdle since the start of the Temples Great Gathering. No matter whether he could win, he had to give his all, and do his best to weaken his opponent. Although this opponent was from the Knight Temple, at least three people from their side would very likely emerge. So, weakening the opponent would serve well as setup for hisradester stages. Although, of course, the best would be to win against the opponent. The Holy Knight was very old, both hair and beard colored white. His age did not look any lower than Long Tianyings. In front of Lin Xin, he did not immediately summon his mount, lifting his left hand to summon a brilliant colored shield, he permeated it with the power of Spiritual Hignd. This was a Guardian Knight, looking impassible. Facing the opponent, Lin Xin suddenly had a strange feeling, because he realized with surprised that even after so many rounds had passed, this Holy Knight should have made it here with formidable disys of power, yet he hadnt left any impression in his heart. What could it mean that he managed to make it here in such a low-key fashion? A Guardian Knight should not be expert in fighting a duel, therefore that was a hidden card of the Knight Temple! After Yang Haoyu had nowe such a low-key and powerful Guardian Knight. Truly, the Knight Temple deserved the number one rank out of the Temple Alliance. So, perhaps even without the emergence of the Bright Glimmer of Hope, the Mage Temple would hardly have managed to overwhelm the Knight Temple. And that was under the premise that only one of their three Divine Knights hade. These years, the Mage Temple could be said to have had unlimited prospects, especially after the Holy War, because the damage they had sustained was the lowest, their achievements in the battlefield the greatest, their development making the Knight Templepletely pale inparison. But when it really came to this Temples Great Gathering, the Knights really had the strongest hidden trumps in the battle determining the Six Great Temples rankings. If not for Bright Glimmer of Hopes presence, the Knight Temple would be eighty percent sure of remaining in the lead. Lin Xins eyes shed in blue light, a pair of immense fire wings growing from his back. His spiritual wings were greatly differentpared to ordinary mages, first and foremost in their size. The size of ones spiritual wings generally rted with ones strength. Long Haochens multiple wings being a special case, generally the size of ones spiritual wings would increase as ones cultivation grows. But even if Lin Xin had just recently broken through the ninth step, the size of his spiritual wings could already match with the wind wings of the Mage Temples head Li Zhengzhi. The immense wings unfolded, extending out over ten meters. It appeared just like a fire wall extending from behind his back. Furthermore, the fire on Lin Xins spiritual wings appeared in the form of blue mes. As his cultivation had kept going up, going past the ninth step, his Heart of Fire gained a fascinating tinge of beauty. As his spiritual wings moved rhythmically, a shallow blue color kept getting altered, just like the most limpid coast. Lin Xins hands were joined up, his eyes glinting up. Lifting his hand, a me headed a probing attack at that Holy Knight. Bang! As the blue fire curled up, the Holy Knight stood unmoving, and the me collided with his shield, but did not infect him, nor did it even manage to make it past that shield materialized from Spiritual Hignd. This first attack was only filled with explosive properties, and as a fire mage, his greatest fieldy in the explosive power in his attack. This was a battle between the strongest spear and the sturdiest shield. Lin Xin continued his global offenses with no hesitation. As his hands were waved about, series of blue mes were shot at the Holy Knight like blue lightning bolts. Chapter 707 - Intelligence! Bloodthirsty Wargoddess (I)

Chapter 707: Intelligence! Bloodthirsty Wargoddess (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The Holy Knights left foot pushed forward slightly, taking a half step as he allowed Lin Xin to attack, quickly raising and lowering the shield to block every single Heart of Fire me. In fact, Lin Xins current Heart of Fire attacks all reached the Spiritual Hignd integration level, yet it did not inflict any damage to him. This could only mean that this Holy Knight undoubtedly had unique attainments in his defense. One could see an inconspicuous golden halo released under the Holy Knights feet, revolving around his body and extending to a range of five meters with rhythmic movements. The golden halo had slight changes of color every time it extended under his feet. Without paying enough attention, one wouldnt notice, but that was a kind of special golden color, a hybrid, multicolored, gold. A domain! That was the Holy Knights domain, though certainly an inconspicuous one. Even if after so many fights some people saw through the fact that this was a domain, not a lot of people really remembered him. If one had to describe this Holy Knight in a simple expression, that would be, _as steady as a mountain._ _No matter how hard youll attack, my defense will remain unmoving._ Lin Xin did not know what uses his opponents domain had, but his highly invasive Heart of Fire waspletely unable to trespass his shield. He also attempted to make his Heart of Fire attack from other angles, but at that time the other party utilized Shield Wall. Lin Xins attacks were really pretty to see, filling the sky with blue lights gathered against a target, just like a magic cannon firing at its target. Spiritual Hignd rapidly depleting ones spiritual energy, this magic show of Lin Xins was especially costly in spiritual energy, But there was still a gap between a forbidden spell and that. It could usually very easily catch the opponent unprepared, but such an ultra-defensive opponent was really hard to deal with. Although Lin Xin did not know how fast this opponents spiritual energy was depleted, from the fact he had made use of a domain, his spiritual energy ought to reach at least 200,000. Such a battle of endurance would only make things even more unfavorable to him. So whats to be done? Lin Xin pondered, suddenly ceasing tounch attacks. No longer having to sustain the attacks from Heart of Fire really gave a restful feeling to this Holy Knight. On the other side, blue fire was lingering on Lin Xins body, as he visibly recovered spiritual energy with his full force. Recovering in the midst of battle? The Holy Knight didnt know whether tough or to cry for a moment. _Could it be that this kid believes that I really dont have the slightest capability? Im a knight of the ninth step no matter what you say!_ The Holy Knights hand was raised up, and in the midst of a downcast chant, a light magic formed. But, in the end, a Guardian Knight was a Guardian Knight. Theres no way he could rival a Retribution Knight in executing offensive abilities. It looked as though a Light of Trial was gradually taking shape in front of the chanting Holy Knight. But suddenly, a blue light was shot out, mming against his shield, and moreover, another blue trail made a detour to attack at the Holy Knights back. Although the Holy Knight didnt look troubled resisting these attacks, in practice Lin Xins Spiritual Hignd based magic attacks were really terrible. How could they be so easy to defend against? He really didnt dare let Lin Xins attacks reach him. Left without choice, the Holy Knight could only interrupt Light of Trial to use a Shield Wall in defense. Catching sight of this scene, Lin Xin couldnt help but leak out a faint smile. Everyone had their domain of expertise, and in the same way, also had their weaknesses. This Holy Knights defense was absolutely great, even exceeding Long Haochen without his Light God Domain. But his attack was his weak point. With this knowledge, Lin Xin thought of a countermeasure. His previous barrage of attacks slowed down, and his Heart of Fire would beunched only after gaps of one second every time. His aim was very simple: to force his opponent to maintain his shield formed of Spiritual Hignd, but without devoting too much to attacking. This way, his consumption was greatly reduced, and thanks to his massive fire wings, his spiritual energy recovery became even faster than his opponents. Thus, this battle of offense and defense turned into a war of attrition. The Holy Knights domain was called Hignd Domain,ing out from his own research. This Holy Knight with a gentle disposition specialized in defending, and as a result, chose to single-handedly focus his cultivation in defense. He used to be a Demon Hunter, but was not the captain of his team. Although he was strong enough, his character was overly soft, and he did not have a lot of offensive means, neither was he willing to learn attacks. In his matches, his opponents were either far weaker than him, or had to concede after having their spiritual energy depletedpletely. His Hignd Domain was highly specialized in reinforcing his Spiritual Hignd while reducing its consumption. The reinforcement of the defensive power of his Spiritual Hignd went to the extent of reaching the Domain Technique level. Inside the Knight Temple, this Holy Knight had the title of Ultimate Shield, and had a shield of epic tier. In the Holy War, he had gone on many battles, facing the Demon God of Death, Saminaga, and the Bear Demon God, Valefor. Thanks to his formidable defensive power, the two demon gods were left without ways to get him, making him a heroic contributor to the Knight Temple. Adding his gentle disposition to that, his rtionship with the people from the Knight Temple was fabulous, bringing him to an equal footingpared to the Divine Knights. Seeing Lin Xins shameless method against him, the Holy Knight couldnt help but break out inughter. Only, Lin Xins cultivation really was toocking to defeat him. The reason why he hadnt summoned his mount was out of fear that it wouldnt be able to resist Lin Xins attacks. After all, this really hot Heart of Fire formed with Spiritual Hignd really had a terrifying offensive power. Wielding his shield, the Holy Knight, started to assault Lin Xin. His speed didnt look too fast, but his advance was extremely stable. When he moved, Lin Xin responded immediately, attempting to increase the distance between the two of them. But to his astonishment, the Holy Knight started to change his course as he kept approaching Lin Xin. Very quickly, the distance between the two of them was reduced to a hundred meters. This time, the Holy Knight suddenly stopped in his steps. Moving aside the shield in front of him, he exposed a warm smile to Lin Xin. Immediately, a white glow was instantly shot onto Lin Xin. Lin Xin nearly cried out a curse, _Saint Spiritual Stove..._ Never did he expect this elder to actually possess a terrible trump such as a Saint Spiritual Stove. The two great abilities Attraction and Pull simultaneously made effects on Lin Xin. The Saint Spiritual Stove was obviously trained to the highest level by this knight. How could he not have a tool such as a Saint Spiritual Stove to apany such a powerful defense? Only with a Saint Spiritual Stove to match with his Spiritual Hignd could he became the greatest defender in the battlefields. Lin Xin was no match for the Holy Knight in cultivation level. About to get pulled in little by little, even if the opposite Holy Knight was not expert in close distance battle, that was not someone a mage could contend against in a head-on sh. The goal of the Saint Spiritual Stove was naturally not to defeat him instantly in close quarters, but to stop him from deploying all his strength! That was the reason for the smile the Holy Knight disyed to Lin Xin. Come! Having reached this far, Lin Xin knew already that he could in no way achieve victory anymore. This instant, he had a monstrous feeling fill him. So far, he had been believing himself to be considerably powerful, having at his disposal not only his great burst power as a fire mage, but also the powerful boost from Heart of Fire. Now he finally understood that when encountering a real powerhouse, his offensive power was still far from enough. Unless he trained to the level of being able to use a domain of his own, he had a lot more efforts to put into the field of magic. While in the midst of being continuously pulled in the air, Lin Xin suddenly came to a stop. A resonant phoenix cry reverberated from his chest, and immediately, Lin Xins body disappeared. His pair of immense blue spiritual wings erged once again, and in the blink of an eye, formed an immense blue phoenix charging straight at the Holy Knight. The Holy Knight had a chill, finding out with shock that the heat was not only external, but even growing deep in his heart. What a powerful fire! Toote to think further, he deployed the Hignd Domain to its greatest extent, bowing andunching Shield Wall as well as Divine Obstruction. It seemed the Blue Fire Phoenix was about to strike the Shield Wall. But suddenly, that massive phoenix shrank by nearly a half. The drifting Heart of Fire vanished entirely, causing it to no longer look like a body made of energy, but like a real body. _Bang!_ As the Blue Fire Phoenix finally shed with the Shield Walls, a terrifying scene took ce. In the instant of the sh, the Holy Knights shield turned all blue, the same blue as Heart of Fires color. In a violent sh, the Holy Knights body fell back in response, dropping to the ground. The bang was not only one sound, but urred in quick sessions, _Bang, Bang, Bang_ sounded out thunderously. With every _Bang,_ the Holy Knights Shield Wall was repelled further and further. When the ninth explosion sounded out, he was already propelled to the edge of the field, back facing the defensive barrier of the stadium. Shield Wall was condensed out of Spiritual Hignd, its defensive power even further reinforced by the Hignd Domain. But if one paid careful attention, they would notice the current Shield Wall was turning liquid, that liquid clearly being spiritual energy! And, it was blue in color as well. One could clearly see that the Shield Wall amplified by the domain was unexpectedly growing thinner and thinner, faintly transparent, and even letting the Holy Knights silhouettee to view. Chapter 708 - Intelligent! Blood Reeking Wargoddess (II)

Chapter 708: Intelligent! Blood Reeking Wargoddess (II)

Trantor: GravityTales A domainless powerhouse managed topel a domain-wielding powerhouse to such an extent through his own attacks. This was already enough for Lin Xin to take pride: this Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stoves offensive power was a really shocking thing. The blue light vanished, and a Blue Fire Phoenix came flying. It was clearly quite weakened, and the blue fire on his body gained in transparency, looking close to going extinct at anytime. But, right at this time, that blue phoenix opened its mouth and let out a resonant phoenix cry. It formed three blue lines tracing from its body, all drilling their way into the Shield Walls. The first blue needle striking Shield Wall caused numerous ripples to appear on the wall, making it seem more transparent. But that blue needle also vanished without a trace, followed by the second one which was thrust, finally surpassing Shield Walls limits. A small hole appeared, but the instant it appeared, that second needle broke into pieces. However, the third needle followed quickly, disappearing in the midst of the Shield Wall instantly. Letting out a groan, the Holy Knight staggered to the side, and the Shield Wall thereupon ceased. With a sh of blue light, Lin Xin fell to the ground out of nowhere, standing half-squatted on a single leg. Pushing his left hand onto the ground to support the rest of his body, his dark green hair looked messy, and his body was shaking lightly, his look just as pale as a sheet of paper. Ever since reaching the ninth step of cultivation, this was his first time pushing Blue Fire Phoenix to such a level. The final three blue rays were undoubtedly his ultimate trump. Mixing a fire of darkness with his own Heart of Fires attack, he obtained an ultra powerful prative force. After the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stove had consumed the Spiritual Hignd infused Shield Wall to the greatest extent, this final move would be the crucial point in determining whether he would achieve victory or not. Since a battle of attrition was no longer possible, he could only aim to obtain victory with his strongest attack. Regardless of the final result, at least Lin Xin would have disyed the most of his ability. The Holy Knights face did not look any better off than Lin Xins. On his right chest, dual green and blue mes were rising up, and his left hand was being used to cover his right chest with a resplendent golden light. But those green and blue mes burnt extremely obstinately, appearing to seep out between through the gaps in the knights fingers, thetter showing a very pained face. Lin Xin was gasping intensely for breaths, barely managing to look into the Holy Knights face. Of course, he knew how powerful his ultimate move formed of these mixed mes was. Extinguishing them wouldnt be so simple, and even if the Holy Knight finally seeded, that would cause his spiritual energy to drop to the brink of nothing, leaving him with no possibility to keep going in the tournament. I concede. Youngster, retrieve your magical ability please. The Holy Knight dered with a pained look. Huh? Concede? Lin Xin immediately beamed with a smile. Although he suffered a great pain due to the bacsh of the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stove, he didnt expect to emerge victorious from that battle, and moreover in a great shape. With a lift of his right hand, his Fire Cloud Crystal appeared, used at once as a walking stick to approach the Holy Knight. Pressing his right hand onto the elders chest, he absorbed back the dual mes along with the Hellfire Needles. During the process of absorption, Lin Xin was slightly startled, because he found out that the true damage sustained by the Holy Knight was not as great as he had expected. There was a scorched area on his chest, but in truth, the Hellfire Needles might never have truly made way into his body. The Holy Knight blinked his eyes at him, before returning staggeringly to the lounge area. Lin Xin immediately understood that the counterpart was throwing the game! Even while under the boost of his Hignd Domain, he had clearly blocked thest attack from the Hellfire Needle, yet voluntarily revealed a look of being unable to endure, offering him this victory. When Lin Xin returned to the lounge under the support of the Fire Cloud Staff, that Holy Knight was seen nodding lightly, a look of admiration on his face. The old knight revealed a faint smile, then shut his eyes to recuperate his spiritual energy. Lin Xin sat on his seat, ncing unconsciously at Long Haochen, who smiled to him, but didnt say anything, only hinting that he should hasten his spiritual energy recovery. Still other matches had yet toe after this victory. But very clearly, even though Lin Xin could keep down the bacsh of his Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Stove, he was well afraid that he would be unable to keep using it in the following matches. Bright Glimmer of Hopes luck was really so-so in this individualpetition, but they had secretly gained the full support of the Knight Temple, this influence having benefited them the most in the match between Haochen and Yang Haoyu. The support of the most powerful knight and greatest shield paved their way in theter stages of thepetition. If Yang Haoyu had really gone all out in his match, Long Haochen would have undoubtedly been defeated, and as the captain of Bright Glimmer of Hope, his elimination would be a severe blow to the whole Bright Glimmer of Hope. But Yang Haoyu let him win, not only giving himprehension of a lot of aspects of domains, but moreover fostering his reputation. Thepetition was now reaching the fifth round, with only twenty contestants left. One could say that theter matches would determine the final ranking of Bright Glimmer of Hopes side. The Holy Knight with the title of Supreme Shield having ingeniously offered victory to Lin Xin, not only offered a great amount of points to Bright Glimmer of Hope, but also a seat in the top six. Although Chen Yinger had lost her match, she had also used up Li Zhengzhis strength to a great extent. Lin Xin having advanced, and Bright Glimmer of Hope still having three great powerhouses that had yet to take part, one could say that they had a brightter stage of thepetition ahead. The bright Light of Selection shed once again, this time selecting the Bloodreeking Wargoddess of Bright Glimmer of Hope. As it happens, Wang Yuanyuans opponent turned out to be a spatial mage of the ninth step from the Mage Temple, and a domain wielder as well. The look in her eyes flickering, Wang Yuanyuan slowly treod into the field. Although the opponents she had encountered werent especially powerful, they were still in the upper tier of thispetition. So Wang Yuanyuan could really be said to have cut her way through thistles and thorns to finally reach this point. She had a very serene look, but a single minded expression in her eyes. When gazing at the distant old mage, she performed a simple warrior salute. The old mage returned the salute as well. Having reached the fifth round of battles, every match was now extremely important. On the Mage Temples side, Li Zhengzhi had already made it to the sixth round. If they could have someone else make it so far, at least the Mage Temple would still be able to threaten the Knight Temple. So, eliminating all the Mage Temples contestants would benefit them the most. Starting an incantation, the old mage lifted his right hand, pointing toward Wang Yuanyuan. In the meantime, the air twisted slightly, as the old mages figure disappeared without basis. He really did not underestimate Wang Yuanyuan in the least. He utilized his domain right off the bat because he had already observed Wang Yuanyuans strength, and was aware that this young girl was a domain wielding powerhouse as well, thus he made the first move to take the advantage. Thin silver light floated on the twisting air, extending throughout the field. The spatial element was full of indeterminacy: anything would get greatly affected inside that kind of domain. Wang Yuanyuan still stood unmoving as a blood-red radiance, the Blood Domain, extended under her feet. The Blood Domain spread out, but only extended to the three meters around Wang Yuanyuan. Surrounded by blood-colored curls, that Bloodreeking Wargoddess shone brightly. The old mage kept chanting in a downcast manner, but his voice seemed to be reverberating from all directions, after going through his constantly refracting domain. Wang Yuanyuan had no way to tell his true location. The twisting spatial domain started to show changes, and some silver light started to arise within as some cracks immediately appeared. Those ck cracks looked like rapacious mouths, ready to engulf Wang Yuanyuans body at anytime. The cracks started to grow more and more numerous, and the space in the whole stadium wascerated fiercely by this terrifying spatial force, looking able to possibly shatter at anytime. From the looks of it, Wang Yuanyuan seemed to be forced into apletely passive situation. But, what no one understood, was that she had yet to make any move up to now, aside from releasing her Blood Domain. Outside of their field of view, Wang Yuanyuans pair of eyes concealed in the Blood Domain were releasing a different color than the red from the previous Blood Domain. It was a silver color characteristic of the spatial attribute. Her most attention-taking feature in the Temples Great Gatherings individualpetition was this peculiar Blood Domain, but dont forget that shes also a warrior using the spatial attribute. Soft spiritual energy fluctuations circted through the air as a breathtaking splendor shone in Long Haochens eyes, as he excitedly watched the field. He had guessed the reason why Wang Yuanyuan had yet to make a move from the start. She only wanted to aim for a victory in one blow. Sess would end in her victory, or if not, it will end in her defeat. Bright Glimmer of Hope could really be called an exceptional group, and luckily, all of them had already broken through the ninth step, some even getting domains of their own. But theycked in experience as powerhouses: the speed of their growth was just too fast. Though their cultivation already reached the ninth step, some of them had not even experienced battles at the eighth step. To some extent they were certainlycking in strengthpared to those experienced veterans of the Six Great Temples who wielded domains of their own. It was visible in Lin Xins previous match, opposing him to the Supreme Shield Knight, that he had a clear inferiority in this standard. As for now, Wang Yuanyuans opponent was no easy prey. By shing head on right off the bat, Wang Yuanyuans odds of sess would really not be high. Chapter 709 - Intelligence! Bloodthirsty Wargoddess (III)

Chapter 709: Intelligence! Bloodthirsty Wargoddess (III)

Trantor: GravityTales # What no one knew was that within Bright Glimmer of Hope, the only domain wielders reaching the second rank of the ninth step were actually Long Haochen and Caier. Although Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuan possessed a domain of their own, they had actually only reached the first rank of the ninth step of cultivation. Their own domain wasprehended in the process of over four years of deep meditation, brought about miraculously. But beyond that miracle, the shortage in their cultivation was still a clear thing. Otherwise, Chen Yinger may not necessarily have lost to Li Zhengzhi, or at least have inconvenienced him to an even greater degree. As the Temples Great Gathering did not even permit any equiment, Bright Glimmer of Hopes shortages became even more visible. Thats why Wang Yuanyuan took a different approach from the beginning, by choosing to go for another type of battle. She was standing motionless, but actually maintained all her thoughts in the battle, looking for a hole in the opponents strategy to bring her a victory in one blow. The powerful spatial domain started topress Wang Yuanyuans residing space, the spatial cracks growing more and more numerous. From outside the barrier, it appeared that over thousands of spatial gaps had appeared in the field, seemingly crushing anything in their contact instantly. So, whats to be done? What response will Wang Yuanyuan choose? A lot of spectators had these same questions arise in them. Finally, a first spatial crack made contact with Wang Yuanyuans Blood Domain. With a swishing sound, like that of ice melted by a red-hot piece of iron, Wang Yuanyuans Blood Domain bubbled up violently, and that spatial crack disappeared immediately. But by paying attention, one would notice that those spatial cracks were ripping away some of the blood energy released by the Blood Domain. This was just a beginning. Following that first one, even more of these headed towards Wang Yuanyuan. Swishing sounds kept resounding, one spatial crack after another disappearing swiftly after contact with the Blood Domain. But it was apparent that Wang Yuanyuans Blood Domain was rippling violently, losing its might. The other party used a mix of magic and domain, while she only kept defending passively through her domain. The contrast was rather obvious. The two parties domains kept shing, during which a lot of spectators were already shaking their head. Even Li Zhengzhi had a smile appearing on his face, muttering aloud, Is this girl looking for an opening? How could she even find one? Old Yus domain gave him the title Master of Constant Changes. Theres no set rule at all. She wants to rely on her domains explosive force to make a surprise attack, but her pains will only get deeper and deeper. With the thought of having one more powerhouse from the Mage Temple to make it through, Li Zhengzhi couldnt help but get into a better and better mood. Maybe his spiritual energy will really be replenishedpletely by the next round as well. However, because of his use of two great Domain Techniques, recovering to his peak by then would be really challenging. Time passed second-by-second, during which Wang Yuanyuans Blood Domain was still very powerful even when faced against an attackbining spatial domain and magic, enduring tenaciously. At least several thousand cracks had already disappeared in front of the Blood Domain. Caier let out a light sigh, Im afraid that Yuanyuan wont be able to find an opening in the opponents attack. This mage is very careful; look, when attacking through his domain, he reallyunches extremely irregr attacks, variating between single ones and swarms. And the thickness of the cracks only keeps growing. Now if Yuanyuan goes on the offense, shes even more likely to get trapped. This old mage is just too cunning. Upon realizing what Yuanyuans n was, he immediately made a countermeasure. If thissts, Yuanyuan wont hold out for much longer. Haochen patted Caiers hand, dering, Trust in her. Yuanyuan is not just stubborn but also clever. Her innate gifts may be the lowest, but she has still achieved extraordinary sess. For her to have obtained her own domain before even reaching the second rank of the ninth step shows her intelligence and wits plentifully. Thinking of that, Long Haochen couldnt help but recall his previous teacher Asura Ye. He really had not met him for a very long time. Who knew where the Knight Temple had sent him. Long Haochen had formerly asked his grandfather, but Long Tianying did not even breathe a single word of it, only telling him that Ye Hua was carrying out an extraordinarily important mission. So, Long Haochen had yet to find the opportunity to pay his respects to his teacher. In the field, Wang Yuanyuans Blood Domain which originally extended to three meters was graduallypressed to a diameter of one meter, barely enough to protect her body. Just concede, young girl. I dont want to injure you. The old mages voice reverberated in all directions, his offense slowing down slowly. This being the Temples Great Gathering, a domainspression was a really dangerous thing. In case something went wrong, Wang Yuanyuans life may very well be endangered. But the instant the counterparts domain slowed down, she finally made her move. Her speed was really immense: all the spectators only saw a sh of blood light, as she unexpectedly passed through the spatial gates instantly. The whole stage was immediately in a state of surprise. In fact, these spatial cracks were all spatial instabilities created through spatial magic, preventing any teleportation. Not only was the space extremely unstable, but furthermore could crumble at anytime, all the spatial cracks being filled with an extremely strong swallowing force. Absorbing things was none other than one of its greatest powers. Throwing oneself inside is simply akin to suicide. But who could expect Wang Yuanyuan to make such a choice? This girl was just too staunch. Could it be that she would stake her own life rather than get defeated at the hands of the Mage Temple? After all, based on the Temples Great Gatherings rules, killing ones opponent would automatically get oneself eliminated. Even Li Zhengzhi had a look ofplete shock upon catching sight of this scene. But the next instant, everyone here realized their own mistake. In a sh of blood light, Wang Yuanyuan already appeared in another spot. This very instant, the numerous surrounding spatial cracks started to get more and more chaotic. Because the whole field was filled of spatial cracks to the brim, when Wang Yuanyuan disappeared, only indistinct shes of red could be seen in their midst. But something no one could see was uring at that very moment. The spatial cracks started to disappear one after another, gradually revealing the situation in the center of the grounds. Then a breathtaking sight came. Wang Yuanyuan calmly stood there, her palm pressed onto the old mages head. Thetter did not utilize further magic, only looking at Wang Yuanyuan full of iprehension. How did you achieve that? The old mage asked, full of iprehension, This was inside my domain, my domain, and with so many spatial cracks around. You cannot possibly have used any teleporting ability. I know that you have a spiritual stove enabling teleportation, and it is something for which I have already ounted. I dont understand how you could pass through the spatial cracks, and end up right in front of me. My domain and magic arepletely devoid of any regr pattern. Wang Yuanyuan calmly answered, There is no ability devoid of the slightest w. It is because your spatial cracks were boosted thanks to your domain that so many of them had appeared simultaneously. It is indeed as you say, these spatial cracks are devoid of any regr patterns. But you have forgotten that theye from the same domain, and that is theirmon point. All of these cracks that were created from the same domain, are all linked to each other, with spatial channels able to link them instantly like a spider web. What I did was all calcted: I picked a spatial channel that could connect me right in front of you, and that was all I needed. Wang Yuanyuan had said that as if it was very simple, but the old mage was greatly shocked, How could that be possible? That would require a massive amount of energy. Most of all, with just a little mistake, you would be torn in the midst of spatial ripples, or drifting in an endless space. No, this couldnt happen to me. Right, as you say my spiritual stove cannot be used in your domain. But I can protect myself in a fixed spot by using my domains defenses. This is also why I remained purposefully unmoving for so long, or else, by cing myself with my back facing the outside defensive barrier, I would havested for even longer. But I did not move in order to maintain my spiritual stoves positioning. That way, even if I ended up unable to pass through your spatial cracks, I would be able to trigger my connection with the spiritual stove, and return to the previous spot with the protection of my domain. Could it be that you didnt realize that when I was teleporting, the blood fog at the other side was maintained for some time? Why do you think it only disappeared when I arrived near you? It onlysted for one second, but that was enough for me to be decisive. So even if I had miscalcted, it would only have ended in failure, with no possibility of death. The old mage looked at Wang Yuanyuan, totally nk and remaining speechless for a long moment. Wang Yuanyuan retrieved her hand, and performed a warrior salute to him, turning back and walking out. A moment. The old mage suddenly shouted to Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan turned her head to him, Is there some other matter? The old mage solemnly dered, I have lost and am thoroughly convinced in my defeat. You may have won with your cleverness, but in this world, people capable of such intelligence and steadiness are you are far too few. You are bound to be respected in the future Warrior Temple. Saying that, the old mage solemnly bent to Wang Yuanyuan, before turning back with a smile on his face. When she came out from the stadium, the first thing that weed her back was Chen Yingers warm hug. Won, Youve won! Yuanyuan, youre really awesome. Chen Yinger spiritedly hugged Wang Yuanyuan, who swayed visibly, shutting her eyes in her embrace, and muttering in a feeble voice, Help me get moving. This fights whole process looked really simple, but only Wang Yuanyuan and the old mage knew how pressuring the battle was to her. How about the process of the massive pressure brought upon her? Under such a pressure, she had to perform continuous calctions to get closer to her goal. Though her spiritual stoves position was fixed before she tore through the spatial crack, that was still in no way devoid of danger to her life! Since she wanted to beat the enemy and achieve victory whilst paying attention to her own safety, all these factors together meant her burdens were far too many. So far, out of three of the six battles, Bright Glimmer of Hope had already achieved two victories, and upied two seats in the top six. Chapter 710 - Flourishing Lotus Flower’s Soul Purification (I)

Chapter 710: Flourishing Lotus Flowers Soul Purification (I)

The golden light of selection surged out andnded once again, shrouding Caier another time. This time, her opponent was from the Spiritual Temple. The fourth battle of the fifth individual round began. This summoner Caier had to face was a tall elder. All those who made it to the fifth round were powerhouses of the current age. The disys of strength of this summoner in the previous battles were seen clearly by everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope. His strongest specialty was his contracted beast, a dragon, a genuine dragon. This summoner was the only dragon summoner out of the whole Spiritual Temple. When facing this dragon summoner, the pressure on Caier as she was not allowed to use any sort of equipment was really great. Although this summoner had yet to enter the domain wielding realm, his summoned gigantic dragon was already a domain wielding powerhouse. A shrill dragon cry came as a blue gigantic dragon appeared in the stadium. The dragon summoning elder was seated upright on its back; to vanquish him, one would first need to beat his summoned gigantic dragon. The dragon summoner grabbed the dragons horn with a hand, shifting his sight toward Caier, his opponent. This blue gigantic dragon was of water attribute, and reached a length of a full fifty meters. Even as it stood within the entire field, that was still a huge monster. Caiers body shed, all traces of her disappearing inside the field. She knew that this battle would be an extremely difficult one. Without a way to use the Sickle of the God of Death and Tower of Eternity, her strength would be excessively restricted. Beating this domain-wielding gigantic dragon would really be quite a challenge. It would be another story if she could use the seven arts of the God of Death, but right now she could only beat the mount before the rider. The summoners look became stagnant, connecting his thoughts with the water dragon. A dragon cry reverberated from the sky as an ice-blue ring spread out from the top of his head. Generally speaking, ring-type abilities would cover a limited range, but this ice dragons ring seemed limitless, extending through the whole stadiums barrier and epassing the whole audience as well. Caiers Invisibility naturally left no traces under those circumstances. Her figure shing, she appeared onto the field, but suddenly disappeared once again in mid-stride before the ring approached her, sweeping past it while leaving no traces. Spatial shuttling? This was a powerful ability that assassins would gain starting from a certain level of cultivation. The dragon summoner let out a faint smile. This was not his first time facing an assassin, and he naturally knew how to respond. The wings on the water dragons back spread out, a terrifying blue water tide erupting from these wings. This was truly a perilous situation: a tidal surge of water essence attacked the whole stadium, reaching every corner in a sh. No matter where Caier would appear next, she would have to endure this water-waves attack. Furthermore, under the influence of such a massive water elemental attack, changes also started to affect the space. The closer one was to the core, the more intense these water waves would get. In the empty space, a crack quietly appeared in front of the water dragon, and Caier strode out. Pure htions dispersed from her body, as the purifying force condensed into a Sickle of the God of Death which struck at the water dragon. It wasnt that she did not want to attack the dragon summoner, but in truth the water dragons released water essence was far too massive. A blue barrier had long-since enveloped his body, so if Caier chose to stubbornly attack him, the water dragons greatest attack would surely follow in response. The water dragons eyes lit up, opening itsrge mouth to spit a breath attack. In the meantime, the surrounding water essence suddenly turned into a massive whirlpool, pulling Caiers body toward its direction. A massive water pir arose from beneath, attacking from two sides simultaneously. An ice-cold glimmer shed in Caiers eyes and a white halo released from her body. That soft-looking white not only stopped the water dragons spit, but purified all the nearing water essence as well. That was Caiers Domain of Purification. The water dragon let out a howl, its massive figure shivering slightly, clearly feeling a great apprehension in front of Caiers Domain of Purification, but it stillunched its own domain in the meantime. An azure color epassed the whole stadium, the water essence pulsing excitedly as if alive. Drop after drop, the water condensed into little dragons, swiftly emerging from the domain. Looking at them, they appeared extremely real, all charging at Caier. But everything surrounding their bodies suddenly turned illusory, as if forming a water blockade separating the dragon from Caier. This was a means used by the dragon summoner for self-defense, wielding a part of the domains power defensively. After all, Caier was the only remaining assassin in the Temples Great Gathering, and possessed a domain of her own. What if the domains force was suddenly sealed off? The dragon summoners force was this gigantic dragon. All his abilities were rted to this gigantic dragon, the two of themplementing each other. His spirit united with the water dragon,manding thetter in battle. Not only did it boost the water dragons technical aspects, but it also connected his spiritual energy with thetters, the result approaching the three hundred thousand. Facing the assault of the mini water dragons, Caiers eyes lit up. The light of purification was as if limitless, spreading through the Light of Purification swiftly. In the meantime, she raised her right hand, stretched forward. There seemed to be some stubbornness in her look, as well as great expectations. The dispersed petals started to shrink, gathering onto her palm. In this process, the surroundings of Caiers body were like a terrible whirlpool. The mini water dragons from that domain only managed to fly within a certain range of her body before smashing to pieces instantly, disappearing and turning back into water essence. However, the light of purification surrounding Caier did not spread further, leaving it unable to affect the water dragons domain. The sight of those white petals gathering rapidly was pretty. Caier floated in midair, like an immortal. Her purification attribute had a very great characteristic: to remain unaffected by perturbation from other elements. This wouldnt change even if the other party were to utilize domain force. Even if it were even denser, water essence was in the end water essence. In circumstances where that the light of purification had notunched any attacks, the water essence had no way to proceed beneath it. The water dragons sight seemed slightly fric. It perceived an immense threat from Caier. Raah! Going past the light of purification would require a direct sh. Elemental essence was of no use, but skills could be used. All the mini-dragons in the domain roared, and immediately, everything in the water dragon domain lit up. The scope of the massive domain started to extend to the whole stadium, turning into a massive whirlpool. Every water dragon turned into a light flowing through the whirlpool, disappearing in the midst of this massive domain alongside the summoner and his water dragon. This wide whirlpool had a terrifying pulling force. Every circting light charged toward Caiers domain of purification, producing a violent explosion, as well as some intense fluctuations in the white light on its surface. The spirals rotation speed grew faster and faster, the impact forceing stronger and stronger. But this instant, that lotus flower in Caiers hand bloomed. Domain technique, Flourishing Lotus Flower. On thest time when that lotus flower had made its appearance in the Tower of Eternity, it was not with its full power. But this time, Caier deployed it fully with no second thoughts. This was Caiers domain technique that she was not in full control of, as well as her strongest attack at her disposal without the Sickle of the God of Death and Tower of Eternity. But would this domain technique be enough to defeat the Water Dragon? After Flourishing Lotus Flower came out, a purifying force was released, then, it slowly arose above Caiers head. Immediately, Caier, who was originally sent flying upwards in the water dragons whirlpool, returned to normal in a sh, and the flourishing lotus flower kept blooming above Caiers head. A ring of extreme white suddenly extended, causing every spectator in the stadium to immediately feel bewildered. Even the defensive barriers protection seemed ineffectual. Graaa.?The water dragons cry was filled with great panic, because it realized, to its horror, that this ring of white light from Flourishing Lotus Flower only passed through its domain and kept expanding. Water essence was of no use in blocking it. Or perhaps no ability would be able to stop its advance. Even the dragons extremely powerful souls force seemed to be seeping out from its body. No mistake, this was the purifying forces most terrifying aspect. What was purified was not the body, but the soul. Caiers Flourishing Lotus Flower stripped out soulforce, and had extreme boosting effects. No matter how strong you are, if your soul is wounded, that is some irreparable damage. The water dragon did not dare attack Caier further, and contracted its massive domain, turning it into an immense sparkling barrier surrounding its body. In the meantime, its two dragon horns shed in thunderous icy blue, protecting its own head. At the very moment, all its focus was put on defending its own soul, as well as that of the dragon summoner on its head. Once spiritual energy density reaches a certain level, theres not much to do anymore. The ice dragon perceived that Caiers domain of purification was actually not really suppressing its own water attribute, but its undead attribute. If it was an undead creature, even if it were twice as strong, those Flourishing Lotus Flowers would have scattered it to ashes in a sh. But as its water attribute soul did not have much of the dark aspects, it was not purified too violently. Damage to ones soul is always a very dangerous thing. It had to defend against that at all cost. Flourishing Lotus Flowers white ring of light finally attacked the water dragons barrier. Chapter 711 - Flourishing Lotus Flower’s Soul Purification (II)

Chapter 711: Flourishing Lotus Flowers Soul Purification (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # The instant the two parties shed, a bizarre chirping sound reverberated through the stadium. That very instant, all the onwatchers present felt their brains filled in a sh with the chirping sounds before nk scenes shes through their minds, taking several seconds to recover. That feeling seemed to be seeping out from their soul. It felt like after swaying forth outside for a bit, it returned to their body. This kind of experience was in no way appreciated. These powerhouses from the Six Great Temples that Caier had previously faced couldnt help but feel full of shock. How could they have thought that Caier actually had such means at her disposal? This domain technique was just too terrifying. For the defensive barrier to show such a strong reaction, how terrible would it be if that was a direct attack? The dragon summoner and water dragon reached their own conclusion. Inside the stadium a strange scene came to pass: the water dragon and dragon summoner both went stiff, as above their head a blurry figure appeared, shaped the same as them, only a lot smaller. Transparent, lifeless, stiff, and even full of shock. This was without a doubt their souls states after Flourishing Lotus Flowers took effect. The water dragons defensive barrier took effect to some extent, but it actually looked not too powerful. Their domain was being dispersed at an astonishing speed as well, along with the defensive barrier. However, after utilizing Flourishing Lotus Flower, Caier also seemed out of strength. Her body swayed in the air, narrowly falling down, but a blue cane appeared in her hand, finally supporting her body. Although from the paleness of her face and her bodysck of spirit, one could see that she already didnt have much fighting strength left. However, she still had a firm look directed at the water dragon and dragon summoner in the air, as if waiting for something to happen. The expelled spirits slowly returned, having in the end not suffered a total purification by Flourishing Lotus Flower. In the end, the water dragon and dragon summoner had joined their spirit force as one, adding that to the overall defensive effects of the domain, so although Caiers blow had great effects on their souls, it was unlikely to go as far as to disperse them. After a dozen seconds, the dragon summoner and water dragons souls came back to their senses, both out of breath. Even if the water dragon was very powerful, it was still instantaneously weakened to such an extent that it was unable to even maintain its spiritual wings. Falling from the sky and dropping to the ground, it caused a violent bang as the defenses surrounding his body and his domain shattered to pieces. Its soul was weakened such that it was totally unable to control these forces. So who won and who lost? The spectators in the Alliances Great Stadium were basically all powerhouses from the Six Great Temples. But this instant, almost no one could tell out the oue of the match. Caiers domain technique benefitted in its great unexpectedness, forcibly breaking the water dragon and dragon summoners joint domain technique, and damaging their very souls. But from the looks of it, Caier did not have any energy left either! Also, the water dragon and dragon summoner should take a bit faster to recover than her. Just as everyone was full of doubts, a white figure suddenly appeared behind the water dragon without any sound, and in a sh was atop the water dragon, a sh of sharp light aiming at the dragon summoners throat. This timing was really ideal. The dragon summoner having juste back to his senses, and still under the shock from the water dragons fall, this was a time of thorough distraction. Only when the sharp white glow had reached his throat did he finally react, but that was clearly toote. If that white figure wanted to kill him, he would already be dead. That white figure was clearly Caier, but an illusory Caier, whose Sickle of the God of Death was lightly pressed against the dragon summoners throat, before slowly dissipating. Who could expect this? It was only when the victor was already determined that the dragon summoner had finally reacted. This image was visibly a remnant left from before Caier had utilized her domain technique. In other words, she had kept stealthily a Doppelganger under the state of invisibility. But which other assassin could maintain an invisible Doppelganger? No matter what the dragon summoner was thinking, this match was ultimately his loss. He may not necessarily lose out in strength against the equipment-less Caier, but her victoryy in her bizarre Flourishing Lotus Flower and great nning. She knew very clearly that her Flourishing Lotus Flower came with a massive consumption, stopping her from even continuing to battle. Her Dopplegangers preparation was for this very moment. In ordinary circumstances, her Doppleganger would by no means be able to injure the opponent, but, because of the shock from the lotus flowers attack, the water dragons domain was shattered, and thus the dragon summoner was at his weakest state. It was only in search of the best opportunity that Caier had been looking concentratedly at the dragon summoner so far. One could only admit that Caiers strength was really a great deal. Being the Saint Daughter of Samsara, a gods chosen one, she had powerful abilities beyond the reach of ordinary assassins. For instance, maintaining her Doppleganger after using Invisibility, and with such great concealment. Even the water dragons domain did not probe its existence, thus making the summoners defeat no injustice. Her blue cane tapping on the ground, Caier slowly walked out. The match had already been concluded, and of course, as one of the Six Great Temples powerhouses, the dragon summoner naturally could not act shamelessly, especially with Chen Zidian watching. At this point of thepetition, Bright Glimmer of Hope had ended as great victors of the individualpetition. Four spots out of the six matches actually belonged to them. Long Haochen stood at the great stadiums entrance, calmly waiting for Caiers return. Looking at her blue cane tapping on the ground, Long Haochens eyes were full of warmth, visibly recalling the scene of himself sending off Caier everyday back then. Caier joined Long Haochens side, a smile on her face. Her hand pulled by Haochens, she was supported back to their seats. This time, the light of selection kept going on as Long Haochen unconsciously raised his head. Only thest two matches were left for this round; and Bright Glimmer of Hopes captain had yet to take part. However, this light of selection did not target any of the Bright Glimmer of Hope squad, but two otherpetitors, one being a powerhouse from the Knight Temple, and the other one from the Spiritual Temple. Therefore, thest match would naturally be between Long Haochen and thest person from the Mage Temple. Seeing that this match was not his own, Long Haochen waved his hand at Han Yu. Han Yu had long since received Long Haochens instructions. Because he had been eliminated beforehand, he was not inside thepetitors booth, but in the more distant spectators lounge. Having received Long Haochens signal, Han Yu lightly nodded, expressing his understanding, before slowly shutting his eyes. No one noticed that among Bright Glimmer of Hopes ranks, Caier, Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin had a golden dot of light on their backs. But by leaning against their seats, this light was thoroughly concealed. Only Bright Glimmer of Hopes people realized what was happening. These were the effects of Han Yus Spiritual Stove of Lights Blessings. Along with his rise in cultivation, Han Yus Spiritual Stove of Lights Blessings had evolved two times in total. The current Lights Blessings was no longer just recovery in a set area. More importantly, Han Yus blessings could be transmitted to the others through the Soul Sharing Chains. In a certain range, through the chains he was able to assist hisrades from Bright Glimmer of Hope in recovering spiritual energy. And the fewer the targets, the faster the recovery assistance. The reason why Long Haochen did not signal Han Yu before was naturally because his spiritual stove could still only be used once a day, so it had to be done in the most crucial instant. Now that the fifth match had already started, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan and Caier all had massive consumptions. And after that, he would have to have to take part in the sixth match as well, after which the sixth round would immediately start, without leaving them any time for recovery. If Long Haochen had just been picked by the light of selection, to take part in the fifth match, maybe he could dy the use of the Spiritual Stove of Lights Blessings a bit as well to profit, but now was clearly the best timing in this situation. The reason why he shifted the activation in advance, was that, as he had the Heart of Eternity, his spiritual energys recovery was far above the others. No one could deny that Han Yus boost was a form of cheating. But Long Haochen was tolerant to that, as everything he was doing was for the sake of allowing the Temple Alliance to develop still further. This state of dispersion of the Temple Alliance had already gone on for six thousand years, and with each of the Six Great Temples having its own authority, was a deep-rooted system. They had veryplex rtionships between each other, and to put that to an end would be a really challenging thing. The only way would be to make them allpromise, but even should it seed, the qualitative changes would actually most likely not be too huge either. So, Long Haochen had alreadye to the conclusion that what he had to do was to make Bright Glimmer of Hope really stand above the crowd in this Temples Great Gathering. Although it had weak foundations, and could only rely on the few of them, they also had their unique advantages. Even after omitting the positions each of them held in their own Temple, they had naturally good dispositions. After having experienced so many things, anding to that point today, Long Haochen believed this to be his unshirkable responsibility. For the sake of his n, a brand-new Alliance ought to be founded, where he, as the Scion of Light, had to be one of the leading figures. Through Bright Glimmer of Hopes drive and strength, they would be the greatest contributors in the Alliances reorganization. Chapter 712 - Flourishing Lotus Flower’s Soul Purification (III)

Chapter 712: Flourishing Lotus Flowers Soul Purification (III)

Trantor: GravityTales In order to achieve this n, a little fraud was no issue as the final result was the most important thing. Long Haochen believed that their individual performance had already convinced the overwhelming majority of the Alliances higher-ups. The further they could go in the Temples Great Gathering, and the higher their result, the more weight they would gain in the meetings after it ended, and the more backing they would receive. The match was continuing fiercely, the Spiritual Temple and Knight Temple both having only onest person left. This match would determine whether or not they would enter the top six, which is why the contest was especially fierce. The shes between these two powerhouses frequently caused cracks to appear on the defensive barrier, which was reinforced continuously by the numerous referees. No one knew that those three from Bright Glimmer of Hope were all recovering their spiritual energy at an astonishing speed. The Spiritual Stove of Light Blessings continuous recovery was of extremely great use. It was not even only about elerating their recovery as Han Yu could even transfer his own spiritual energy through it, transferring an elemental power of extreme purity. This was a matter he hadprehended thanks to absorbing the pure spiritual energy in the Tower of Eternity. With the rise of his cultivation, Han Yu was growing more and more inclined to the supportive type. Even a pure supporter at the ninth step was a considerably powerful existence. And Han Yu had his own goal, which was to be a Divine Knight. The match went for a whole quarter of an hour, before the match was finally ended both sides suffered through a very close match, but in the end that domain wielding knight was a step ahead and finally managed to achieve victory. But it was a very close victory, with a massive consumption of his spiritual energy, and even his domain had reached its limits. It would visibly take quite a moment for him to recover entirely. Finally, Long Haochen went on stage without need for the light of selection, entering the field alongside that mage. With their results, Bright Glimmer of Hopes performance in the individual stage already reached an unswayable stage. That final knight, being really close to his limits, had nearly fainted directly after exiting the stage. With Bright Glimmer of Hope having three qualified members, they would very possibly draw him, which would pretty much guarantee them one seat on the top three. Although Li Zhengzhi was giving his all in recovering his spiritual energy, his previous consumption was considerable. Even if he did make it to the top three, Bright Glimmer of Hope would very possibly take the final seat, although this would mainly depend on this one match. All knew that Long Haochen was their captain as well as strongest member. Putting aside his higher chances of victory, should he be eliminated in this match, this mage would definitely not have it easy either. In case Bright Glimmer of Hope should take two of the top three seats, their two members could reject the final three person round-robin tournament, so that they could be considered the final champions of the individualpetition. Therefore at this point, Bright Glimmer of Hope was in a pretty safe position already. Long Haochen calmly confronted the opposite mage, d in a yellow gown. That was not a mages robe, but it clearly illustrated his elemental attribute, as that was an earth mage. The two of them exchanged determined nces, before the final match between the top twelve started. Long Haochen did not immediately utilize the Light God Domain this time. Striding forward, the six wings on his back shed and pped as his body shot forward like a streak of light. Lightning sh. A golden hexagram slowly extended from where he had been, the Divine Unicorn slowly appeared behind Long Haochen shaking its wings to elevate itself high in the air. In the course ofunching Lightning sh, Long Haochen had already materialized a pair of heavy swords through Spiritual Hignd,unching a cross strike at the opponent. The earth mage was not panicked in the slightest, his hands forming a gesture in front of his chest. Immediately, Long Haochen felt his body sink down, his speed dropping tremendously. That was Gravity Technique. In the meantime, the earth mage aimed a distant palm strike to wee the distant Haochen, just like a warrior. A terrifying scene arose, a hill over twenty meters tall suddenly appearing in midair on its way to collide with Long Haochen. Crossed Swords Strikended loudly on that hill, as Long Haochens body tensed up. In all eyes, Long Haochen should have been able to dodge. Although it came suddenly, and was an instant cast, that hill was really towering and thick. A sh was no good solution. And, just getting out of the way seemed sufficient, as thatrge hill would not be of great use anyway. But Haochen didnt do so. His body shed to strike against the hill. Immediately, it stopped in midair. The earth mage had a chill, knowing that the opponent had seen through his spell. He actually wanted Long Haochen to dodge, as this hill was just a support tounch a powerful Gravity Technique. But by directly striking the hill, he had visibly cut off that following move. The earth mage chanted rapidly, that hill having only stalled for three seconds, and a deafening sound of an explosion followed. Countless rocks sttered in all directions as a towering sword intent arose in midair. Relying on it, Long Haochen forcibly broke this hill, and the next instant, charged straight toward the mage. His six wings provided him with a really enormous speed. Moreover, he had the aid of Lightning sh, so the earth mage had no way to escape at all. In that case, he may as well not even try. A transparent barrier surrounded his body, which, when struck by Long Haochens pair of swords materialized from Spiritual Hignd, produced series of sonorous crackling sounds. But that barrier was still unmoving and didnt have any visible trace of damage. What a great defense! If one paid attention, he would realize that the transparent barrier was not like an ordinary magic barrier. It seemed to have countless cuts on its surface, which produced a bright brilliance under sunlights illumination in the same way as a polished diamond. Starry Diamond Barrier, one of the most powerful defensive spells of earth element. Long Haochen was pushed back but not discouraged. The Divine Unicorn behind him had already caught up, and a divine light shot out from its horn, glinting on Long Haochens body and lit up his body in multicolored light. A torrential sword intent once again burst out from Long Haochen, a severe expression on his face. His heavy swords united above his head, going down in a sh. An earthly yellow htion came up this time from below the earth mage. This divine grade earth mage really had great aplishments in defense: that yellow halo actually erged the scope of Starry Diamond Barrier. _ngC_ Long Haochen was shooed away with his sword, and although a crack had appeared on the Starry Diamond Barrier, it very was rapidly restored by the yellow htion within. What a great defense! Long Haochen was startled. In the defensive aspect, this earth knight was perhaps not inferior to that Supreme Shield of the Knight Temple. The Heart of Eternity was pulsing violently. Hearing this earth mage still continuously chanting, Long Haochen remained calm, quietly releasing a golden htion. The Light God Domain finally appeared, and not only that, but right after appearing it started to disy the phenomenon associated with the release of the domain technique Divine Light Waltz. The look on the earth mages face changed, but his incantation remained unchanging, the yellow htion under his feet only growing even more intense. His domain was named Solidification. A simple sounding name, but it actually reinforced any of his earth spells with an ultra great defense. When young, he was known with the title of Tortoiseshell, absolute number one in terms of defense out of the whole Mage Temple. Even Li Zhengzhi would need to expend a lot of magic power to defeat him, relying on the difference in cultivation to win the match. Li Zhengzhi had given him direct instructions on how to deal with the situation before going on stage. For this earth mage to defeat Long Haochen with his attacks would be really difficult, so Li Zhengzhi suggested he tire out Long Haochen, who would surely try to achieve a rapid victory and thus use a lot of his domains power. Then he was to look for a chance in the midst of stalling. Even if he would end up defeated by Long Haochen, that way he will have certainly depleted a lot of his spiritual energy, thus raising Li Zhengzhis chances in the rest of thepetition. Although Li Zhengzhi knew that should Bright Glimmer of Hope acquire two spots on the top three, there would most likely be no final champion to designate, he still strove for victory with his utmost. In his eyes, although Caiers domain was really bizarre, she was already too much depleted, thus only Long Haochen alone could really make up a threat to him. Long Haochens Divine Light Waltz having already beenunched twice, its volume was clearly smaller than the first time, proof that his spiritual energy was not yet fully replenished. When the Divine Light Waltz and Starry Diamond Barrier collided first, it came immediately to a sh between the strongest attack and greatest defense. An ear-piercing grinding sound came out immediately to everyones ears. That was really an unpleasant sound. Countless sparks arose from the sh between the two great techniques in the midst of magic and shaking. Divine Light Waltz slowly cut its way in, but it advanced very slowly. All could see that both sides had their spiritual energy depleted intensely. The earth mages incantation became swifter and swifter. As one of the top powerhouses of the Mage Temple, he was unwilling to take a passive beating in front of such a youngster. That was someone whose position was quite higher than even Lin Chen in the Mage Temple. The intense yellow halo from the Starry Diamond Barrier gradually turned muddy, as terrible earth essence was in the midst of gettingpressed and umted, about to possibly burst out at anytime. But Long Haochen seemed to ignore that. With the boost of the Divine Unicorn, his Divine Light Waltz only grew more and more powerful. The Diamond Starry Barrier already had a small hole in its midst, and the Divine Light Waltz only kept pushing through. At this rate, it would take him at most perhaps two minutes to achieve victory against this earth mage. Chapter 713 - Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (II)

Chapter 713: Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Finally, the earth mages incarnation waspleted. If he had given all he had in defense, the Divine Light Waltz may have taken longer to pierce its way through, but just to maintain his domain techniques offense, Long Haochens expenditure of spiritual energy was astronomic. He had tost as long as possible, so that even if Long Haochen finally achieved victory, he wouldnt have much spiritual energy left anyway. But this earth mage was just unwilling! After having made it so far, who would give up a chance of achieving victory? So he chose tounch his strongest attack, finally ready. A mini person made of sparkling earth essence appeared, drilling into the ground immediately. At the time it resurfaced, it had be a gigantic form of earth essence over ten meters tall. Shockingly, its body joined with the Starry Diamond Barrier, as if bing made of diamond. Springing up and joining his fists, he sent it smashing at Long Haochen. Upon its appearance, the earth essence within the internal barrier of the stadium had risen up dramatically. Like that, he nimblynded, shifting just enough to evade the horizontal cut from Divine Light Waltz. The corners of Long Haochens mouth traced a thin smile. This was the chance he was waiting for! If the opponent had only persisted with using his domains barrier, there would be nothing else to be done than breaking it slowly. But things were not the same with the opponent using this powerful forbidden spell. Perhaps the defensive power of this Diamond Earth Elemental alone was no match for Diamond Starry Barrier. But dont forget, it had yet to benefit from the domains boost, and was after all a magic that had achieved independence from its master. A purplish-golden radiance shed through Long Haochens eyes, and the next instant, a massive figure took shape right above him. Its tail was swung like a hammer, violently whipping the Diamond Earth Elemental. In the meantime, a six-colored halo red up. Six Element Essence of Disorder! The Diamond Earth Elemental could be categorized as an existence reaching the forbidden spell level, yet it was sent flying by that heavy blow. More terrifyingly, when that six-colored htion was diffused, changes urred on both the Diamond Earth Elemental and the mages Starry Diamond Barrier. All the earth essence pulsed chaotically throughout Essence of Disorder, although the Diamond Earth Elemental was better off, being a supreme earth elemental summon. Although Essence of Disorder caused several cracks to appear on its massive body, that did not end up being enough to shatter it thoroughly. Even so, the earth mage on the other side was forced back. Originally, when reduced into a state of passive defense by Long Haochens Divine Light Waltz, he was hoping to rely on the Diamond Earth Elemental to reverse the situation. But who could expect that not only was the situation not reversed, but furthermore, he now had to suffer the attack from the six-elemental Essence of Disorder. Divine Light Waltz was also somewhat affected, but that domain technique was of a higher level, and furthermore used Long Haochens supremely pure light, hence it was less affected than his opponents. _Crack._ The Starry Diamond Barrier smashed to pieces, Divine Light Waltz now looked about to cut through that earth elemental mage. This earth mage kept performing outstandingly. In a sh of white light, the Diamond Earth Elemental shifted its position, arriving in front of him, and blocked Divine Light Waltz midway. However, the earth mages domain was ripped apart alongside the Earth Diamond Barrier. How could it recover instantly? The Diamond Elemental had a massive wound, earth element having gotten sttered across in front of Divine Light Waltzs terrifying cutting force. A body which was originally already full of cracks was almost split in two on the torso level. After Divine Light Waltz vanished, Long Haochen swung his sword in the air once again. This time, his body was surrounded by an intense purplish golden gloss. Sword Intent and Sword Soul were wielded harmoniously, with Haoyues bloodline force added to that. A purplish-gold sword light transpired through the sky, making way into that massive wound of the Diamond Earth Elemental. In a sh of yellow light, the earth mages body shed across to avoid getting taken down alongside his summon. The Diamond Earth Elemental was extremely powerful offensively, but although it wielded great defense, in the end it was not able topare with the Starry Diamond Barrier which benefitted from a domains support. _Pop._ The massive body crumbled, smashing to the ground. Haoyue appeared in front of it once again, sweeping his tail to instantly crush the Diamond Earth Elemental in two, sending fragments flying. At the same time, the six huge heads roared, unrestrainedlyunching six breaths at the earth mage. The earth mage was already quite panicked. The Starry Diamond Barrier couldnt recover in such a short time; as he was having to face Haoyues attacks, he was only able tounch series of low-level earth barriers. The battle having reached this point, the oue was already without suspense. Long Haochens figure shed, and he appeared behind the mage as Elemental Obliterating Halo was liberated. The Starry Diamond Barrier could block the Elemental Obliterating Halo. This low-level barrier couldnt withstand it so easily however. Adding Haoyues attacks from the other side, it took only one minute for this earth mage to choose to concede. Fourth qualification from the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. At this point, Bright Glimmer of Hope had theplete upperhand in this individualpetition. They basically only had one round left: although another knight had made it to the top six, he did not have much strength left, and so the final matter was to see whether Li Zhengzhi would make it to the top three. In the fifth round, every winner could gain sixteen points, thus causing great variations in the total points. Bright Glimmer of Hope had four members qualified from the fifth round, bringing them sixty-four points in total. Adding that to their previous ny-six points, they had in total one hundred sixty points. The Knight Temple and Mage Temples qualified member brought them respectively to one hundred five and ny-eight total points, ranked second and third. The other three Temples total points remained the same, fifty-eight for the Spiritual Temple, thirty-four for the Assassin Temple and twenty-four for the Warrior Temple. At this point, Bright Glimmer of Hope already led by a wide margin, leaving no suspense for who would be champion of the individualpetition. Before this gathering, no one could expect the individualpetition to end up with such results. There had never been a single Temple showing such impressive results in all the past Temples Great Gatherings. For sure, luck had its role for these results, in addition to the secret help from the Knight Temple they benefited from. But without sufficient strength, theres no way they would have made it so far! Amongst the four, three had domains of their own, and one had eliminated a domain-wielding opponent. Be it in technique, strategy or strength, Bright Glimmer of Hope fully deserved to call themselves a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. Chapter 714 - Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III)

Chapter 714: Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III)

Sixth round, start. Chen Zidians voice was still full of grandeur, as the final rankings round for the individualpetition started. Long Haochen immediately returned to the lounge upon the end of his match. What he wanted the least was to be in the first match. As long as he would not be the first, he would have some time to recover, due to the Heart of Eternitys formidable recovery, which filled him with confidence on this aspect. It is unknown whether the light of selection had its own will to make things like that, but its first light lit on Long Haochen, while the other one urately illuminated Li Zhengzhis body. When the two lights of selections had settled, the whole Alliances Great Stadium was visibly in total disorder. The first match of the sixth round was unexpectedly opposing Long Haochen and Li Zhengzhi. One could say that this was the most crucial battle out of the whole individualpetition. If Li Zhengzhi managed to defeat Long Haochen, although the Mage Temples total points would still be behind Bright Glimmer of Hope, it wouldnt be by much. And with Li Zhengzhi figuring in the top three, even if the other two spots were to belong to two members of Bright Glimmer of Hope, the number one powerhouse of the Alliance would surely be acknowledged by a lot to be him. It wasnt easy to say whether this battle was fair. Long Haochens consumption against the earth mage was certainly not as great as what Li Zhengzhi had exerted against Chen Yinger, but Long Haochen had just finished his previous match, while on the other side Li Zhengzhi was the first one of the previous round to go on stage. But, no matter what, since the light of selection had made its pick, it wouldnt be changed now. Long Haochen had a quite severe expression, while Li Zhengzhi looked quite happy, obviously pleased with the light of selections choice. Going up against Long Haochen was his most desirable oue. The two of them faced off each other. The instant they made it on stage, the whole audience went totally silent, devoid of the slightest whisper. Long Haochen ced his right fist on the left of his chest, performing a standard knight salute in front of Li Zhengzhi. Greetings, Temple Head Li. Li ZhenGzhi revealed a humble smile, deeply moved he dered , I really didnt expect you to be my final opponent in this Temples Great Gathering. Do you remember what I told you a few years back? That the next Temples Great Gathering would be the time for you to challenge me. But you have shifted this time ten years ahead. The future is a world for you youngsters, but what I have said doesnt change. If you want to take my ce in challenging the Demon God Emperor, you must defeat me. Come, show me whether you are able to achieve this. Long Haochen nodded lightly and moved his right fist horizontally for another salute before his six wings that had vanished just a bit earlier reappeared, bringing him aloft. Li Zhengzhi started a rapid chant, shifting his gaze to be locked onto Long Haochen. A dense green light spread as his chant carried a fantastic rhythm to the ears of everyone present. Long Haochen did not opt for an offensive approach in the same way as the previous Lightspeed sh. The Heart of Eternity pulsed intensely on his chest to recover his spiritual energy, and in the meantime, his right hand was pointed in front of him, summoning the Divine Unicorn Star King back to his side. Star King, lend me your strength. Long Haochen groped his head. Star King nodded lightly, extending his wings, as a dazzling starlight of seven colors shone on its horn. The next instant, the seven colors spread again, covering Long Haochen and his mount in their scope. Long Haochen rode Star King, the multicolored starlight falling and going back up, to form a multicolored pir of light, going all the way to the top of the barrier. Although Star King had already be a Divine Unicorn, its foundations were still the same, a Starlight Unicorn kings. This was its Star Domain. Originally, for the sake of assisting Long Haochen, he had once forcefully used this skill. But now that it reached the ninth step of cultivation, utilizing Star Domain couldnt be more easy. Although it was still not a genuine domain, it was very close to that. A light essence of iparable intensity gathered inside Long Haochens body in the midst of the Heart of Eternitys intense pulse: his spiritual energy was replenished at a frightening speed. Star Kings eyes lit up, and with a long hiss, the horn atop its head lit up, wrapping Long Haochen and itself in light, so that their silhouettes were hidden from the outside world. Everyone had their own trump cards: just like Li Zhengzhi had yet to use his most powerful ability, Long Haochen also had yet to reveal his most powerful mode. When facing Yang Haoyu, he did not have the opportunity to unleash it, as he had to utilize his domain nonstop and resist the opponent. But right now, when facing Li Zhengzhi, and as this was most likely hisst match, why would Long Haochen show any more reservations? The multicolored radiance vanished, and when Long Haochen reappeared to everyones sight, the audience couldnt help but gasp at the sight of him. Right now, his whole body was shining under the illumination of his multicolor armor, flowing with multicolored light rippling out. From the looksof it, he appeared to have a demeanor very close to Divine Knights. The multicolored light was a sign of divine tools: the Divine Unicorn transformed into a multicolored armor was equivalent to a divine-tool-level armor! And, he benefited from the extreme boost from Star Domain, which had replenished Long Haochens used up spiritual energy, making eighty percent of it avable to him right now. As a supreme-level transformed mount, the Divine Unicorn which seemed to be just a supportive character, and furthermore not up to much, was visibly underestimated by a lot. As it turned out, although Star King had just evolved recently, and had yet to acquire a lot of a Divine Unicorns abilities, he was still a genuine Divine Unicorn! The Divine Armor put on him, Long Haochens eyes leaked a dazzling glow. Adding to that his six-winged appearance and extremely handsome face, it drew the gazes of all the females present to him. Haoyue! Long Haochen shouted loudly at once. In a dazzle of purple gold, Haoyue reappeared by his side, this time turned into a purplish-golden radiance rushing forth toward Long Haochen. The spectators had all witnessed Haoyues armor transformation. Thats also what happened in the match between Long Haochen and Yang Haoyue, whichbined with his domains evolution enabled him to achieve victory. Could he be nning to equip double armors? thought most. However, they rapidly realized their mistake. Haoyue did not transform into his armor form, but into a gigantic sword, appearing in Long Haochens hands. The Divine Unicorn Armor and Haoyue transformed into a purplishgold Haoyue Sword. Thats Long Haochens strongest mode, even in a situation without the use of any equipment from him! Chapter 715 - Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (I)

Chapter 715: Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (I)

Trantor: GravityTales It was the first time for Haoyue to transform into a sword. Compared to Long Haochens other two divine swords, Haoyues transformation was much more massive in size. The sword itself was over three meters long, colored purplish gold, with a one meter long hilt. Long Haochen also needed to use his two hands to wield it correctly. This ultrarge sword had nine lines stretching from the handle upto the sharp point. Six mini Haoyue heads extended from the thick de, all spouting as if the edge came from their breath. While gripping this heavy sword, Long Haochen felt an iparably tyrannical power surge out from this heavy sword. Linked with the bloodline force in him, its power seemed as if an extension of his own body. As a knight, Long Haochen had a keen link with his weapon. In front of this Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword, even Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light of the Aria of the Goddess of Light seemedckluster. Imperceptibly, he sensed the aura of a six-elemental Essence of Disorder surging out from this gigantic sword. How could he imagine that Haoyue would reach such a level of power after transforming into a sword? As Long Haochens two magical beastpanions transformed into equipment forms, on the other side, Li Zhengzhis forbidden spell was done getting cast. An immense green shadow appeared behind him. Wind God Summon. An immense wind god looking the same as Li Zhengzhi appeared out of nowhere. Right off the bat, that massive figure was fifteen meters long, but bizarrely, its volumepressed itself, and in just a little while, it reached a length of five meters. Although it remained rtively huge, that made it a lot nimbler. All d in greenish golden armor, it wielded a pair of axes. That was Li Zhengzhis Wind God Summon, clearly different from the wind god used against Chen Yinger. Not only its weapons differed, but it gave off an entirely different feeling. Li Zhengzhis whole body shed in green color. In a sh, he entered in the midst of the wind god, whose eyes lit immediately as if infused with intelligence. Single-mindedly looking at Long Haochen, its axes pierced through the sky, and a hurricane burst out. That was the Wind God Domains first domain technique, Hurricane. Waves of golden light surged in tides, flocking frantically towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen remained very calm, and his Divine Unicorn turned into a multicolored armor liberating shes of golden light, apanying the release of the Light God Domain. Two brilliances of golden and green color shed each other. Due to Li Zhengzhis domain technique, the instant the two brilliances shed through the sky, Long Haochens Light God Domain had a burst of power. But one could clearly see that where the two great domain techniques shed, a white fire was ignited. Wind blew through this white flower, causing a remarkable shaking as well as a rise of strands of blue mes. Elemental suppression. This was an elemental suppression appearing in the midst of a contest of domains. From Long Haochens view, this was thest match of the individualpetition, so he no longer showed any reservations. The power of the Light God Domain came out in full swing, erupting all around. The light essence of extreme purity was sufficient to suppress powerhouses of any elemental attribute. Li Zhengzhis domain technique also wielded some of the wind gods power, and at his cultivation level, his wind attribute waspressed to a great extent since long ago, but an insurmountable gulf still separated it from Long Haochen in terms of purity. Long Haochens light attribute came not only from his Scion of Light Physique, but moreover from the upgrade of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon and the assimtion of Eluxs physique as a Scion of Light. The three great light entities reached such a level that even if the Goddess of Light herself were to came out in front of him, her spiritual energys purity may not even be a match. So, light god was truly a well-deserved name. Li Zhengzhis domain was named wind god, but that was just a name, not the true wind gods power. Even if the purity of his attribute were to be a match for Long Haochen, wind remains inferior to light. As a result, although Long Haochens Light God Domain looked constricted, he actually had the advantage in the sh of domains. The wind god made its move. shing across, it arrived at the point of collision between the two domains. Waving the de in its hand, it immediately sent a greenish-gold ray flying through the Light God Domain, carrying along a hazy mist. Even if this de was still far from Long Haochen, he felt very clearly its sharpness, perfectlybining de intent and wind. Long Haochen felt secretly rmed. Li Zhengzhi was a mage! But even in this capacity, he managed to deploy de intent with his sheer technique. That was really a shocking talent. Long Haochen didnt avoid, neither did he shrink back. In this situation, if he were to retreat, Li Zhengzhis attack would certainly make way inside the Light God Domain, and thanks to his own Wind God Domain, he wouldnt get too much affected by the Light God Domain. But more importantly, should his domain be breached through, Long Haochen would be unable to utilize the Divine Light Waltz he had justprehended recently. So, Long Haochen faced the attack,ing up after his figure shed. Wielding the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword in his hands, he performed a downwards hacking motion. A purplish-golden sword ray was abruptly released from the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword, but to Long Haochens shock, his sword soul was actually unable to merge into Haoyues sword form. This gigantic sword gave off the feeling that it would reject everything other than his spiritual energy and sword intent. The purplish-golden sword ray was over one meter long, vastly contrasting with Li Zhengzhis Wind God de ray. But these two powerful lights produced an unexpected scene at the time of their sh. The current wind god was entirely under Li Zhengzhis control. With the longde in its hand, as well as his Hurricane domain technique aiming at Long Haochen, he believed with certainty that this strike would at least send Long Haochen flying away. Then he would keep using the Wind God Domain to assault Long Haochens domain over and over. Although his opponent had the advantage in terms of sheer domain strength, he had alreadyprehended two domain techniques, and, his research and understanding of his own domain surpassing Haochens by far, he was confident in being able to surpass Long Haochen and achieve a final victory. But the instant his longde came into contact with Haochens Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, Li Zhengzhi felt indescribable surges of terror from his brain, and immediately, the sword rays emitted from that longsword turned purple. In a sh of purplish-gold, a rainbow light seeped out from the massive sword in Long Haochens hands. That terrifying power full of destruction and havoc forced Li Zhengzhi to draw back swiftly as he flipped his blongde, forcefully cutting his connection with the de rays. Everywhere those purplish-golden sword rays passed, the hurricanes within the Wind God Domain were smashed to pieces, as the rays would keep travelling until reaching the defensive barrier on the edges of the field, causing it to tremble violently before piercing a hole inside, passing through it, and smashing into the ceiling of the Alliances Great Stadium. To say nothing about Li Zhengzhis dilemma, even Long Haochen himself was shocked. He absolutely didnt expect Haoyues sword transformation to reach such a terrifying level. This seemed to be beyond the power of any ordinary divine tool. When sensing it, that purplish-golden sword ray did not give off an excessively powerful feeling. But Li Zhengzhis wind elemental Spiritual Hignd was simply routed upon contact. This was already beyond divine power. From the Purple-Gold Haoyue Sword, Long Haochen could feel clearly a frantic demeanor seeking for destruction. He subconsciously lifted it horizontally. Immediately, a purplish-golden curtain of light extended, sweeping away all the hurricanes everywhere it passed. Li Zhengzhis Wind God Domain became full of cracks, appearing close to copsing at anytime. After a short time of shock, Li Zhengzhi came back to his senses. Once again waving the longsword in his hands, a small-sized wind de was shot out, aiming straight at Long Haochen. That was the second domain technique he also had to use in his fight against Chen Yinger, Freedom. This domain technique filled with the true essence of wind took a sh to arrive in front of Long Haochen, who slightly drew back, pointing the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword forward. Dang. A sonorous sound reverberated in the air. The wind de ruptured, but countless gales swept at Long Haochens direction. The Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword was waved once again, and from it came out a drizzling brilliance. In just a split second, that explosive wind de disappearedpletely in the midst of purple rays. This was the six elemental Essence of Disorderbined with his bloodline force. After making this short attempt, Long Haochen gradually came into the realization that the whole earth was in his grasp with a sword in his hand. This was the tyrannical bearing brought by Haoyue. This was a supra-divine tool that only he could control. Although he did not know how Haoyue achieved this, no one could deny the power of a divine sword that could even stand in front of Li Zhengzhis second domain technique. However, after a short time of interaction, Long Haochen also realized some issues withthe Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword. First, this divine sword could only be infused with pure spiritual energy, and consumed his spiritual energy massively. Three sword strikes had depleted over thirty thousand of his spiritual energy. In the meantime, when using this divine sword, no offensive technique could be used alongside it. Only pure shes and strikes. This was with Haoyue in a six-headed state. If the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword was already so powerful, then when he would evolve to an eight-headed state, what terrifying level would this sword transformation reach? Chapter 716 - Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (II)

Chapter 716: Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Despite the significant use of spiritual energy, Long Haochen could still bear up thanks to the Heart of Eternitys help in regenerating his spiritual energy. Also, the Divine Unicorns armor transformation supplemented him with about two hundred thousand backup spiritual energy, enough to maintain his battle state. Seeing his essence of wind broken so easily by Long Haochen, Li Zhengzhis face became iparably tense. He began to realize this battle would perhaps be unlike what he had foreseen. Not only did it turn out challenging, victory was furthermore getting further and further from his grasp. But as the head of the Mage Temple, a vastly ambitious powerhouse, theres no way he would give up so easily. Li Zhengzhi knew that the greater ones ability, the greater would be its cost of use: Long Haochens divine sword was certainly not simply waved around. And thus, when the longde in his hand struck once again, several bursts of Freedom, Essence of Wind flew at Long Haochen, forming a full powerful assault against him. Long Haochen strode steadily towards the opponent. Right now, his Light God Domain waspressed two-fold, making it easier for him to economize his spiritual energy. With the terrifying power of the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword, the Wind God Domain was no longer any threat for him. Nine lines of purplish-gold patterns lit up on Long Haochens forehead; even his eyes turned a purplish-gold color. Although the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword continuously transferred its will for destruction and havoc, as the wielder of a Light God Physique, Long Haochens heart was, just like the Heart of Eternity, not so easily contaminated. In front of the divine sword, Li Zhengzhis Freedom, Essence of Wind was not of any use. The wind was shattered in the air as the distance between Long Haochen and Li Zhengzhi kept diminishing. After Long Haochen stepped into the Wind God Domain, he asionally shed his Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword in front of him, causing the domain to recoil from its path. Right now he constantly scattered and smashed it, and when he hadpletely destroyed the Wind God Domain, Li Zhengzhi would naturally not be able to sustain his domain technique anymore. On the lounge of the Knight Temple, Yang Haoyu was seated beside Chen Zidian, a look of shock on his face. Murmuring his thoughts aloud, he muttered: Originally I was thinking that I had let this youngster win. I really didnt expect that he was the one to go easy on me. His magical beast is actually strong to such an extent No wonder even demon god pirs get destroyed. Chen Zidian let out augh, The new generation will always rece the old and let it rest peacefully. What a mysterious thing. In those years, when your cultivation surpassed mine, I was in the same situation as you are right now. However,pared to Haochens nature, his magical beast seems overly tyrannical. Yang Haoyu let out augh, There is no need to worry about this point. This magical beast may be extraordinary, but they are linked by blood contract. Chen Zidian nodded, This young guy is really perseverant! Hes only taken out all his cards in thisst battle. From the looks of it, this magical beasts divine sword transformation could be called domain killer. Li Zhengzhis Wind God Domain can not only utilize two domain techniques, but moreover, it has undergone an evolution. However, a domain of this level cannot stop in the slightest this purplish-gold sword. Im afraid that no domain could possibly stop it: as long as Haochens cultivation grows enough, challenging the Demon God Emperor in the future is not impossible to him. Yang Haoyus look became especially brilliant, If he manages to obtain the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation in addition to this divine sword, humanitys chance will truly havee. His Bright Glimmer of Hope truly deserves this name. The oue of the ongoing battle was already gradually getting obvious. Long Haochens Light God Domain was already fullypressed, and Li Zhengzhis Wind God Domain was in an unstable situation, and could crumble at any time now. Li Zhengzhis True Essence of Winds power was lessening by the second, while the divine sword in Long Haochens hands was only getting more and more imposing. The Purplish-Gold Haoyue Swords consumption of Haochens energy was truly massive. Even his Heart of Eternitys massive regenerating speed was unable to keep up with this consumption. That didnt even ount for the previous battle that his spiritual energy had yet to recover from. Li Zhengzhi suddenly let out an upward shrill, as the Wind God Domain full of cracks abruptly crumbled. Lifting high the de in his hand, all the green light was absorbed in its midst. Immediately, the scenery in midair was reced with a bolt of green lightning, shing green to reach out in front of Long Haochen. This de strike came without warning, but its great power surpassed all the previous attacks by far. Only Li Zhengzhi truly knew that this, his iplete third domain technique, was close to a self-incarnated domain, although it had not quite reached that level yet. All of a sudden, Long Haochen could only defend. He truly deserved to be called a genius: even in such a difficult situation, he still managed to perform Divine Obstruction. The green light and purplish-gold sword tip collided; and for the first time the green side held the advantage. That clear green lightning had countless designs on it, electric light curling all around, and pressured Long Haochen and his Divine Obstruction into drawing back. The gigantic sword in his hand drew back. Right at this time, a terrifying roar sounded out from Long Haochens heavy sword. That was an unwilling roar, full of majestic offense. The Divine Unicorn armor on Long Haochen abruptly turned purplish-gold, and then Haoyues figure appeared on Long Haochens back. The outer two bulges on the figure slowly split, revealing two purplish-gold heads. Then, the eightrge heads abruptly roared to the sky. Long Haochen felt an immense surge of power from his body and heavy sword bursting out, as his divine sword split forward as he shouted. The green lightning finally shattered and waspletely engulfed by that purplish gold colored sword. The purplish-gold sword ray shed through the sky, aiming directly at Li Zhengzhi. That previous blow was Li Zhengzhisst offense. Seeing that purplish-gold sword, now several-fold stronger than before, aimed at himself, Li Zhengzhi gasped secretly. He unexpectedly did not even attempt to defend, staring at that purplish-gold sword striking his own body. Thats because he knew that even if he put all his strength into defending, there would still be no way for him to block this strike. Bzz. The Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword was waved to the sky, with both Long Haochens arms feeling an intense shaking. The purplish-golden sword that looked close to arriving in front of Li Zhengzhi turned and rushed in an oblique arc, reducing the defensive barriers of the Alliances Great Stadium into mud and piercing through its defensespletely. Everywhere it passed, everything in its way turned into nothingness, disappearing from sight. With an undting halo, the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword turned into a streak of purplish-gold light that disappeared in Long Haochens hand, and the Divine Unicorn Armor on him reverted to being the Divine Unicorn. Star King supported Long Haochen with his body as Long Haochen slumped beside him. Long Haochens face was as pale as a piece of paper. As Haochen let out arge spit of blood, Star King stopped him from falling. Wind Gods Descent gradually dispersed, leaving behind Li Zhengzhi, who was standing there with a sluggish look on his face. Looking at Long Haochen leaning against Star King, he had aplicated look in his eyes. Long Haochen won not only this battle, but also the respect of all the present onwatchers. Thatst sword strike was deflected to Long Haochens utmost for the sake of sparing Li Zhengzhis life. Otherwise, given the Purplish-Gold Haoyues Swords destructive power, Li Zhengzhi would be dead without a doubt. Although Long Haochen was down, the spectators on the terraces all stood, enthusiastically apuding. Li Zhengzhi had the look of a dead fish for a whole minute before graduallying back to his senses, with a mix of disappointment and rxation on his face he approached Long Haochen slowly and held him up. Long Haochens physique was doughty; with the existence of the Heart of Eternity, his spiritual energy was regenerating at all times. Every pulse of the Heart of Eternity helped recover arge amount of spiritual energy. So, although his insides felt like it was all burnt, he still did not copse. You have won. Li Zhengzhi nodded to Long Haochen. You are now already qualified to challenge the Demon God Emperor. The future of the Alliance shall be left to you. I believe that you will be able to lead the Alliance to thoroughly change this era of darkness. Saying so, Li Zhengzhi patted Long Haochens shoulder before turning around to exit the field. Although this was only the first of the four stages of thepetition, losing to Long Haochen finally caused earth-shattering changes to appear in Li Zhengzhis attitude. He understood very clearly that, after the end of this stage, Bright Glimmer of Hopes position would go up much higher. Under Star Kings support, Long Haochen slowly walked out from the field. Caier and his otherpanions were waiting for him there, and the instant Long Haochen was out from the field, Caier immediately weed him, giving him a tight hug. After putting forth so much effort, Long Haochens n was finally nearingpletion. The first match of the sixth round, Long Haochen had won it. The second match opposed Caier to the only remaining knight. Given that this Holy Knights previous consumption was toorge, he finally chose to retire from thepetition, so Caier achieved victory without a fight. Third match of the sixth round, was Wang Yuanyuan versus Lin Xin. Although has-drugs-bro was absolutely unwilling, he finally conceded under Wang Yuanyuans threatening gaze. Now that the matches were all over for the sixth round of individualpetition, and Bright Glimmer of Hope had terrifyingly managed to grab the whole top three for themselves. Every winner of the sixth round earned thirty-two points. So far the ranking for the individualpetition was as follows: Bright Glimmer of Hope 256 points, Mage Temple 105 points, Knight Temple 98 points, Spiritual Temple 58 points, Assassin Temple 38 points, Warrior Temple 24 points. However, thepetition was not yet over. After the sixth round of thepetition was over, Long Haochen, Caier, and Wang Yuanyuan stood in the middle of the field ording to Chen Zidians instructions.

Chapter 717: Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochen, Caier, Wang Yuanyuan. Do you three want to keep undergoing the round-robin tournament? Chen Zidian asked solemnly. As if everyone had predicted this oue, the three of them replied simultaneously, Keep going on! Two choices were possible at this point. One was to terminate the tournament, while the other was to keep going on. Every winning match would then reward an extra ten points, for a total of three matches. Should someone defeat the other two, that would rank him or her number one, thus earning yet another twenty points. These extra rounds were still part of the seventh round of the tournament. In other words, the final champion could almost double his sixty-four total earned points. Long Haochen dered in a clear voice, Reporting to referee, Wang Yuanyuan and I are conceding. Caier looked at Long Haochen in shock. He was Bright Glimmer of Hopes cpatain, so this individualpetitions champion should rather be him. Long Haochen smiled to her, At the time of the Demon Hunter Selection, you conceded in thepetition for my sake, for me to finally hurt you. I am now giving this championship back to you. Moreover in my heart, you are the one I will never be able to defeat. Caier gave him a warm gaze, Idiot, in my eyes, this is all unimportant. But it is important to me. I dont want you to have any memories of feeling wronged. We will have many more challenges to face, where I will be giving my all to protect you. No one objected to Long Haochen and Wang Yuanyuans surrenders. This was within the rules, and was something that could only happen in the case of the three top seats being taken by a single Temple. But actually, even the strongest Knight Temple had never achieved that in the past five hundred years. Having won these two matches, Caier earned an extra twenty points and became champion, thus bringing in another twenty points in addition to the sixty-four total points for the seventh round. That way, another ny-six points was added to Bright Glimmer of Hopes point total. And now, after this first stage terminated, Bright Glimmer of Hope had an astonishing three hundred fifty-two total points. Thus the first out of the four stages of the Temples Great Gathering, the individual stage, came to an end. The final winner was the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. At that very moment, the powerhouses from the Six Great Temples were all unconsciously standing up, pping for Bright Glimmer of Hope. Even the legendary figures Chen Zidian and Yang Haoyu did so. The initially mysterious Demon Hunt Squad became the eventual champions. Perhaps luck was a part of the process, but they had mostly relied on their own strengths. Just look at these youngsters. They were all below thirty years old, with the youngest of them around twenty-five. But such a Demon Hunt Squad was already standing at the peak of humankind. Hope was emanating continuously from them. Nightfall. After returning from the celebrations that took ce in the Alliances headquarters, Bright Glimmer of Hopes members returned to cultivate in their own rooms. After all, the Temples Great Gathering had just gotten started, and although they were holding arge lead already, the rest of thepetition also had its shares of opportunities. The Temples Great Gathering went at a very fast pace. The next day came the contest for the highest spiritual energy. The highest three in this aspect were undoubtedly their three gods chosen ones: Long Haochen, Caier and Chen Yinger. But they did not hold much of an advantage in total spiritual energy, after all, their age was an important factor to take into ount. ording to the rules, every year of age below a hundred years old was to be ounted for a thousand spiritual energy, and every year of age above that was to subtract a thousand spiritual energy. The three of them had their spiritual energy totals above 200,000, since they were all domain wielders. Thus, although their spiritual energy totals did not really stand out in the scale of the Alliance, they still held a goodpetitiveness. As the others went back to cultivate in their own chambers, Lin Xin entered a room on his own, stealthily making his way into the Mage Temples side. Naturally the Mage Temples guards recognized him, in his identity as the grandson of an auxiliary head, in addition to his originally high position in the Temple, of course no one stopped him. On the highest floor of the Mage Temples inner quarters, Lin Xin stopped in front of a certain room, knocking on the door after hesitating for a bit. Come in. Lin Chens aged voice came out from the room. Lin Xin pulled the door open and entered. Lin Chens office was veryrge, covering an area close to two hundred square meters. There were leather sofas for guests, bookcases lined two walls, and to the side, a huge ancient wooden desk. Lin Chen was seated behind his desk, a book on magic in his hands. Grandpa. Lin Xin bowed to Lin Chen before joining his side. Lin Chen closed the book in his hands, lifting his head to nce at his grandson, You shouldnt havee. Your Bright Glimmer of Hope having achieved such results, your return to our Mage Temple would very likely causeints. Yourrades wouldnt be happy over that. Lin Xin chuckled, Let themin, so what? As for myrades, they wont suspect me. I am honorably visiting my grandfather. So what about that? Lin Chenughed, You brat, stop giving me this bullshit. You stil remember about your grandfather? Tell me, what have youe to me for? Li Xin let out augh, but did not immediately speak, still having some hesitation on his face. So? Youre not like yourself, if you have something to say, say it. Hearing his grandfathers manner of speech, as if building his resolve, Lin Xin firmly dered, Grandpa, I want to learn Saint Sun Curse from you. What? Lin Chen was in great shock, standing abruptly, unaware his chair falling down to the ground. Giving a nk look to his grandson, Lin Chens aged face seemed to twitch due to excitement, You Are you for real? Lin Xin nodded vigorously, Grandpa, I want to learn Saint Sun Curse from you. Although it caused the loss of Father and Mother back then, the spell itself is not to be med. More importantly, I need this power. As myrades are getting stronger and stronger, I also need strengthen my own training as well, so that I dont drop behind and can follow them in the conflict against demonkind. So please, pass Saint Sun Curse onto me. I will be certain to carry forward this secret technique, and research it as the base of my own domain. Lin chen looked at Lin Xin, remaining silent for several seconds. On this day of great discouragement, he absolutely didnt expect his grandson to actually bring him such a pleasant surprise. Although Lin Chen had broken through the ninth step already, his heart was like dead due to Lin Xins disappearance. These five short years felt as long as ten years to him. Lin Xins final safe return was like a spark of life pouring back into him. He no longer had any hope other than for his grandson toe back alive. And in the rest of the Temples Great Gathering, Lin Xin gave him even greater surprises. On this day after only a few short years, Lin Xins cultivation had actually already broken through the ninth step, and was already no inferior to his own. The Heart of Fire was really far stronger than before, and he had actually even made it to the top six of thepetition. Such achievements reassured Lin Chen greatly: he may be taking part as a part of Bright Glimmer of Hope, but so what about it? In Lin Chens eyes, Lin Xin had already been walking on a path of his own. His grandson being already so powerful, he had no will to importune Lin Xin, after all Saint Sun Curse had been an immense burden in Lin Xins heart. For him to now be willing to learn offensive magic was already huge progress. At that very moment, Lin Xin was standing in front of him, unexpectedly asking him about learning Saint Sun Curse to inherit a generation of Lin Chens efforts. How could that not excite him greatly? No, that was already beyond the description of the word excitement. This grandfather was simply on the verge of copse from bliss. Lin Xin supported his dazed grandfathers body, giving off augh, Dont get excited. If something bad happens to you, who will be there to teach me Saint Sun Curse? Just look, I will definitely make your creation a mass destruction weapon in the future, to scare all demonkind witless as the dark era wille to an end. Grandpa, please live well until that dayes. Lin Chens body shook slightly as he nodded consecutively, Alright, alright. I will be sure to wait for this day, for sure. Come, I am bringing you to the experimental field to teach you Saint Sun Curse. Although it was already nighttime, Lin Chens excitement had affected him a bit too, as the grandson was also pulled outwards. Lin Xin was not part of tomorrowspetition, so he naturally had no qualms staying up all night. Grandfather and grandson excitedly left the room and proceeded for the magic experiment room. A short time after they were gone, another nearby door opened close to Lin Chens office. Li Zhengzhi came out from within, looking towards their departure route, appearing in great ponder. Who knew what he was thinking? The Temples Great Gatherings individualpetition was over, but the masses in Holy City were not the least rxed, but instead even more excited. Thepetition kept going, and today the Priest Temple was also part of the festivities. The total ranking was bound to change ordingly; after the Priest Temple underwent their first round of spiritual energy assessment, it brought them a final total of sixty points, a result close to all the previous sessions. Today, every Temple would send their strongest three people for spiritual energy assessment. A huge crystal pir was erected on the center of the field on the previous evening, specialized for spiritual energy measuring. Right now, the Six Great Temples had all already dispatched three of their people, and Bright Glimmer of Hope was no exception. Chapter 718 - Victory by a large Margin (I) Chapter 718: Victory by arge Margin (I) Trantor:GravityTales Because of the previous individualpetition, the spiritual energy levels were understood to some extent from the mutual encounters. So this spiritual energy stage did not hold too much suspense. As the champions of the individualpetition, Bright Glimmer of Hopes Demon Hunt Squad would be thest one to appear. This was one of the benefits they had gained. Like the individualpetition, the spiritual energy contest did not allow the use of any equipment or boosting pills: everyone was to rely on their individual strength. A total of twenty-one individuals already formed a circle around the crystal pir. As the chief referee, Chen Zidian was standing the closest to the crystal pirs side. Everyone would need to go through his inspection first, so cheating waspletely impossible as long as the one on watch was him. Chen Zidian indicated to the Warrior Temples head Qiu Yonghao, Based on the ranking of the first round, the spiritual energy measuring will be taking ce in the reverse order of the firstpetitions ranking. The Warrior Temple shall go first. Qiu Yonghao nodded and stepped forward to get measured alongside two powerhouses of the Warrior Temple. In terms of overall strength, the Warrior Temple was the weakest of the six Temples. But they had the greatest poption amongst the Six Great Temple, after all, the standards for bing a warrior were pretty low. Qiu Yonghao was the first to step forward, lifting his right hand and cing it on the crystal pir. Immediately, the transparent crystal changed into another color. A red color rose from the bottom of the crystal pir, slowly going up to reach a height of about thirty-three meters, at around a tenth of the pir. Then it turned orange in color, and kept rising up to gain another thirty-three meters and turned yellow. The colors within the crystal pir started to slow down as they ascended, and Qiu Yonghaos look became extremely heavy, his forehead dripping with sweat. From the distinction of colors, red corresponded to a hundred thousand spiritual energy, orange to another hundred thousand spiritual energy. The fact that he had reached the yellow area signified that Qiu Yonghaos spiritual energy had already surpassed 200,000. His age having already crossed a hundred years old, he could only rely on his own strength for this trial. Finally, the color within the crystal pir stopped rising after a bit over a half of the yellow area, then Qiu Yonghaos bar stopped going up. Letting out a light sigh, Qiu Yonghao finally rxed as an immense golden number arose, floating atop the crystal pir. 271,364. This was Qiu Yonghaos total spiritual energy. The other two powerhouses of the Warrior Temple came next. Their cultivation levels were still quite a bit behind Qiu Yonghao, and they were not yet domain wielding powerhouses. The two of them were about the two hundred thousand mark. Finally, with the addition of the age bonuses, the Warrior Temple reached a total of 694,160 points. These results were a bit underwhelming. After the Warrior Temple came the Assassin Temple. Their situation being a bit better off, their spiritual energy totals reached 783,200, which could be considered not bad. The Spiritual Temple having obtained a total of fifty-eight points was a bit below the sixty or so of the Priest Temple, making them the third party to go. Thanks to the strong disy of their head Chen Hongyu, they had a final spiritual energy total reaching 832,241, far above the previous two Temples. The Priest Temple was truly a bit lucky in their first stage of the trials, and did not hold much of a dominance in this second stage. In the end, their spiritual energy total barely reached above 800,000, but was quite below the Spiritual Temple. So far, four Temples rankings were settled. Now only the Mage Temple, Knight Temple, and Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope had yet to go. All knew that the true chance of achieving victory hade. No one was optimistic about Bright Glimmer of Hope in the spiritual energy count rankings. Although they had the advantage of their age, there was no way their total strength would add up to 900,000 or more, so the only question left was who of the Mage Temple or the Knight Temple would be ced above the other. The Mage Temple had Li Zhengzhi, Mo Wo, and that mage with the greatest defense who controlled an earth elemental domain. The darkness mage, Mo Wu, and the earth mage were both close to 300,000. Add to this that they were below a hundred years old of age, and they gained some bonuses, the Mage Temple already reached close to 610,000 after the two of them passed. Li Zhengzhi was thest one to set out. Within the crystal pir rose several colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, and it finally entered a blue area. Although a lot of people had guesses about Li Zhengzhis cultivation level, they still could not help but cry out in rm. This meant that his internal spiritual energy was already above 400,000. Finally, the pir stopped in the blue area. Li Zhengzhis spiritual energy was over 420,000, and adding to that the scores of the other two mages, the Mage Temple had surpassed a million, reaching 1,007,423. Could the Knight Temple surpass the Mage Temple? The Knight Temple very rapidly gave them a strong response. The Knight Temples three did not include the Divine Knight, Long Tianyu, but were under Yang Haoyus lead, with that Ultimate Shield of the Knight Temple, and the one who made it to the top six. As the three knights stood, Li Zhengzhisplexion immediately became a far more unsightly sight to behold. The Ultimate Shield was the first to go up, his spiritual energy set just above 320,600. The knight who made it to the top six was the second one to go, his spiritual energy fixed beyond 332,800. Finally came Yang Haoyus turn. He calmly approached the crystal pir, lifting his right hand to touch it lightly. A shocking scene surfaced. The pirs colors surged out at once: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, then finally entered a turquoise area. Number one of the Temple Alliance. That was absolutely not just a simple name. Yang Haoyu protected the Knight Temples honor with his strength, his internal spiritual energy reaching past 568,000 to exceed Li Zhengzhis 420,000 by arge margin. In the end, the Knight Temple surpassed the Mage Temples total points by 120,000. After this stage, the two Temples rankings was bound to change. Bright Glimmer of Hope was thest one to go. Chen Yinger whose internal spiritual energy reached 170,000 was the first one to go. Caier, whose internal spiritual energy reached 190,000 was the next one to go. At this point, a lot of people were secretly sighing inwardly. This Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was, after all, still young. They truly couldnt establish any dominance in this spiritual energy contest. Finally came Long Haochens turn. He was the only bright spot Bright Glimmer of Hope had, thanks to the Heart of Eternity. His internal spiritual energy broke through 300,000, before finishing above 310,000. Thanks to these few days matches andprehensions, Long Haochens cultivation had progressed to some extent. If the Heart of Eternitys extra 90,000 was not counted, his internal spiritual energy would be reaching about 220,000. In the end, the results of the three totalled over 570,000. This time, the superiority of the age bonus became the spotlight. Long Haochen was twenty five years old, Caier twenty four and Chen Yinger twenty eight. This added over 233,000 to their spiritual energy total. This gave them a final amount of over 800,000. Funnily enough, maybe due to an affinity with the god of luck, although their total of spiritual energy was below the Spiritual Temple, it still surpassed the Priest Temple, and by just thirteen points no less. Finally, the Knight Temple was the uncontroversial number one in the contest of the highest spiritual energy, followed by the Mage Temple, the Spiritual Temple, Bright Glimmer of Hope, the Priest Temple, Assassin Temple, and Warrior Temple. After this stage terminated, a variation happened to the rankings. On the basis of the rules, the number one gained two hundred points, the number two gained a hundred and fifty, the number three gained a hundred and twenty, the number four gained ny, the number five gained sixty, and thest one had none. Because of the addition of Bright Glimmer of Hope, the six sides became seven, and thus the number six would gain thirty points, and thest one none. So, the ranking was as follows: Bright Glimmer of Hope 442, Knight Temple 280, Mage Temple 255, Spiritual Temple 178, Priest Temple 120, Assassin Temple 64. Although Bright Glimmer of Hope was only number four of this stage, because of their overwhelming advantage from the first stage, they still had arge lead. While the Knight Temple overtook the Mage Temple, the Warrior Temple remained the most miserable. Although the previous two rounds ofpetition were quite frantic, the true rankings would only be determined on tomorrows meeting. Thats because the third round ofpetition, domain contest, was the most valuable one in terms of points. Based on the rules, the number one would earn over five hundred points. And furthermore, now that this was not a six-sided contest due to the addition of the seventh party Bright Glimmer of Hope, those numbers would very possibly end up higher to some extent. These matches would very possibly include some turns of events, after all, Long Haochens group only had approximately a 150% advantagepared to the Knight Temple So at the end of todayspetition, Long Haochens hurriedly brought hisrades back to the Alliances headquarters. Lin Xin hasnt returned yet? Long Haochen asked Sima Xian. Sima Xian shook his head, Not yet. He told mest evening that he would look for his grandfather to study magic, and has not given any news since then. Long Haochen nodded lightly, faintly able to guess what Lin Xin was wanting to study. Because there was no need for him in the second and third stages, Lin Xins absence had no influence on the flow of thepetition. Captain, let me go up tomorrow. Wang Yuanyuan proposed determinedly. Chen Yinger immediately asked anxiously, Yuanyuan, you cant be nning to fight over it with me!? This third stage permits the use of equipment, so with my Spiritual Saint Robe, I will definitely not suffer a loss. In the third domainpetition, each party was to send three people, all of whom must be domain wielding powerhouses. Bright Glimmer of Hope had four of these, amongst whom Long Haochen and Caier would certainly be sent. So, the third seat was naturally to be picked amongst Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger. Chapter 719 - Lead by a large margin (II)

Chapter 719: Lead by arge margin (II)

These two girls ordinarily got along extremely well, but they couldnt help but have a dispute right now. Long Haochenughed and remarked, Dont argue. Let me make an analysis, this way you should both agree on who we should send. The first and second stages of thepetition were both for evaluating individual strength. And thats just ones pure strength, without ounting for any equipment. That was the pure strength evaluation of the Temples Great Gathering. Theter stages are for evaluating strength as a whole. So equipment are allowed in thest two stages, which thus reflects the level of the Six Great Temples resources as well. The greatest contenders are still the Mage Temple and Knight Temple. In the third domain battle, we have only one goal, and that is to be the final champions. Huh? Because of Long Haochens deration, everyone had queer feelings, because they were actually not so confident in their own strength. A domain stems from ones strength, so even if they had a few divine tools at their disposal, what assurance could they have in front of the Six Great Temples countless years of umted ressources? Long Haochen continued, The final stage is a team-battle tournament. Although we are mostly pretty okay in terms of equipment, that is not the case for everyone. In particr, Wenzhao, Duan Yi, and Brother Zhangs equipment are rathercking. So we should rely on the synergies between all our vocations in the team battle, although I dont have an absolute confidence in being able to achieve victory. But, the domain battle is the most richly rewarded one. We should not give up on this one. The Domain battle is a pure contest of domains, as well as a disy of matching domains. The first requirement is that the confronting domains are not allowed to sh with each other, but shouldplement each other. Rtively speaking, my light attribute and Caier Domain of Purification are pretty synergistic. But Yuanyuans Blood Domain and Caiers Domain of Purification conflict to some extent. Although Yingers Beast God Domain cannot produce synergisticbinations with ours, at least it wont conflict. Adding to that the Saint Spiritual Robes boost, shes the most suitable to join us in battle. After Long Haochens exnation, Wang Yuanyuan was immediately disappointed, while Chen Yinger smiled at her. Han Yu said, Boss, since tomorrows Domain Battle is so important, shouldnt we train for it? Long Haochen shook his head, Theres no need. Dont worry, I am really confident. As for where this confidence stems from, let me keep the suspense for now. You wille to understand tomorrow. Reaching this point, he revealed a mysterious smile. It was not that he did not want to disclose it, but if this secret were to leak, some changes would surely appear in hisrades expressions. Although that method could not be called cheating, not letting it be known by too many was the best. The next morning, when they proceeded for the Alliances Great Stadium, Lin Xin still had yet to get back. Long Haochen did not send another to look for him. Although Lin Xin had an emotional disposition, he was still reliable. He believed that he would definitely be back for the teampetition tomorrow. After a few days of reparation, all the magic projectors in the Alliances Great Stadium were back to its best state. The distance between the Alliances headquarters and the Alliances Great Stadium was close. Going through a passage in the warriors entrance, the powerhouses from the Six Great Temples and Bright Glimmer of Hope proceeded towards the stadium. The area outside the walls had long since filled with people. At the sight of Long Haochens group, cheers immediately came from them. Bright Glimmer of Hope, Bright Glimmer of Hope! The masses were not in chaos: although they were many, their shouts were uniform, and the fanatical looks on their faces and their cheers were more enthusiastic than anypeting powerhouses. These days, the Knight Temple intentionally propagated the news of the aplishments of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope to the whole Holy City as well as every city and vige in the Temple Alliance. Their records of killing demon gods, their interventions in the Holy War, and more importantly, that they were the first Demon Hunt Squad to have destroyed demon god pirs. Two demon god pirs had already been destroyed, smashed by their hands. Even the humans that were the least informed on demons knew that the seventy-two demon god pirs were their root. The dark era had already been ongoing for over six thousand years, all the while a demon god pir had never gotten destroyed. What meant the news that Bright Glimmer of Hope had destroyed two of them? It meant hope! Feeling the cheers of the masses, every member constituting Bright Glimmer of Hope were full of fervor. For the sake of the Alliance, for the sake of leading all humankind on the way out of darkness, they must fight courageously, and make themselves even more powerful. After treading into the Alliances Great Stadium, Long Haochen nodded to the others before making his way alongside Caier and Chen Yinger. They arrived pretty early. Inside the field, the only ones present were those from the Spiritual Temple and Priest Temple. The other Temples had yet to arrive. The Spiritual Temple and Priest Temples team leaders were Chen Hongyu and elder Ling. Long Haochen nodded to the two before greeting them. Elder Ling returned a smile, and Chen Hongyu gave off a snort. He was visibly still unhappy about losing to Long Haochen. Chen Hongyu remarked unhappily, Grandpa, what are you snorting for Dont tell me you cannot bear a loss at this age? Chen Hongyu red at her, Truly a girl of age. You girl, not making a contribution for our Spiritual Temple is one thing, but now youre helping outsiders in beating your grandpa? Chen Yinger gave off a smile, before running off to Chen Hongyus side and coquettishly grabbing his hand, as well as pulling his beard a bit asionally. Due to this Chen Hongyu did not know whether tough or to cry, his face easing up, as he spoke a few sentences in Chen Yingers ears. Chen Yinger remarked proudly, I knew it, you have a sharp mouth but a soft heart. You clearly have good intentions, but wont express them properly. I knew that grandpa treats me the best. Chen Hongyu severely said, This is not being good to you, but thinking about our Spiritual Temples future. You girl, are the same as before. Youre already grown up, so remember your duties. Yes. Chen Yinger stood straight and made her salutations. But when she turned off to run back to Long Haochens side, herughing yful face betrayed her true thoughts. Anyway, from her childhood to now she had never really feared Chen Hongyu. Chen Hongyu shook his head with a helpless feeling. No matter what, the decision that was already made could not be changed anymore. From the looks of it, this dear granddaughter of mine wont ever gain the lead of Bright Glimmer of Hope. A short timeter, thepetitors from the other Temples were there as well. The participating individuals were slightly different from yesterday, but the difference was not big, and the terrain did not change much either. That long crystal pir from yesterday was not there anymore, reced by a huge crystal ball. This crystal ball was five meters long in diameter. ced in the middle of the field, it appeared colossal. On its pedestal seemed to be sculptures made of precious stones. The crystal ball itself was light blue, and emitted faint waves of spiritual energy from within. Long Haochen was informed ahead of time by his grandfather that this crystal ball was called Saint Bead, a divine tool beyond divine tools. Made from a special crystal, it could bear a massive input of spiritual energy. After getting remodelled with magic formations, its insides became extremely stable, revealing its ability of elemental assimtion. Simply said, this Saint Bead was a divine tool incarnating Elemental Obliterating Halo. It had an ability simr to Elemental Obliterating Halo released on its surface, and even the Demon God Emperor wouldnt manage to breach through it. But its enormous tolerance to spiritual energy caused a rather weak physical resistance. The Saint Bead had practical uses: with sufficient control, one could use it in battle for its power of swallowing forbidden spells. The heads of the Allliance were the ones in control of it throughout History, but, due to the internal strife between the Six Great Temples, although the Saint Bead had an important efficacy, because of its emblematic value, it was not permitted to bring it out in the Holy War. It could only serve as a final means of defense for Holy City. Long Haochens mental force being overwhelming, when standing beside the Saint Bead, he silently sensed the changes in it. Very rapidly, his face now had a look of shock. Thats because he could not sense any emanation of spiritual energy from the bead. But when his senses made way, it would get swallowed by this Saint Bead. In other words, it could swallow not only spiritual energy, but even mental force as well. When Long Haochens rich and powerful mental force made way inside, with the feeling of entering a vast sea. When used appropriately, this Saint Bead was bound to be exceptionally effective against unexpecting enemies. For instance when Long Haochen was caught by the Demon God of Deep Visions Deep Vision Godly Pool, this Saint Bead could have cancelled it, and even inflicted serious damage to the Demon God of Deep Vision. While Long Haochen was in the midst of pondering over the Saint Bead, the chief referee Chen Zidian made his way. ncing at the twenty-one people around the Saint Bead, he nodded, Are you all ready? Long Haochen came back to his senses, and replied alongside the others, Ready. Chen Zidian dered, Then start. His right hand giving a pat to the Saint Bead, a soft light essence was poured within, instantly turning it into a light gold color, slowly arising from its base. Long Haochen then realized that that pedestal was actually not for amplifying the Saint Bead, but for limiting it. When the Saint Bead ascended, a terrifying engulfing force rose from within it. Long Haochen finally understood right now why the Saint Bead was used in the domain battle. Thats because if one was to not utilize a domain, the spiritual energy in ones body would get swallowed by this Saint Bead. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. From the looks of it, the Saint Bead was really even more terrifying than any other divine tool he had ever encountered before. Chapter 720 - Large Margin Victory (III)

Chapter 720: Large Margin Victory (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Tyrannical waves of spiritual energy circted through the air as Long Haochen strode forward, forming a triangle with Caier, Chen Yinger, and himself. In the meantime, a drizzling brilliance came out from his body, shrouding the three of them. Both hands reaching out in front of him, the Light God Domains golden light was immediately poured inside the Saint Bead. A mysterious phenomenon arose then. When his domain came into contact with the Saint Bead, the swallowing force on it immediately weakened significantly. The Saint Bead was then turned into a golden color. The powerhouses from the Six Great Temples all poured their own domains into the Saint Bead, and immediately, under the powerful domains urges, it released brilliant color, illuminated brightly. However, Long Haochen very rapidly had a feeling of pressure. This pressure stemmed from the Saint Bead, which released a powerful absorption force. The only benefit was that while his domain power was poured into the Saint Bead, Long Haochens mental force travelled through it besides. This way, he had a way out, in other words, should he be unable to bear this swallowing force any longer, he could at anytime control his own domain to break away from the Saint Bead. But, doing so would mean his elimination from the domain battle. Long Tianying had told once him that in case his domain should break away, he would suffer the impact force of the other domains within the Saint Bead, and directly leave the area of the Saint Bead, stopped froming back. The pressure the Saint Bead inflicted on Long Haochen was not so remarkable. His Light God Domain reached an extremely high level and had a very potent automatic control. So although the Saint Beads pressure was present, it only caused a consumption of his spiritual energy and no more. An even greater pressure was going towards the other powerhouses of the Six Great Temples. Inside the Saint Bead was a great expanse of chaotic space. After the domains entered inside, they could only be controlled to evacuate or stay, and couldnt attack or defend while inside. So, twenty-one domains were in the midst of struggling with each other inside the bead. At this time, coordination was visibly very important. The three domains from each side had to enter together with no distinction, and when making their way inside, remain connected. While inside, this connection would remain for the entire duration. Caier and Chen Yinger were powering their own domains. Caiers Domain of Purification was almost instantly mixed with Long Haochens Light God Domain, and Chen Yingers Beast God Domain surrounded theirs. The Spiritual Saint Robes great power manifested with no doubts. Right now, the domain resulting from the unity of the three inside the Saint Bead looked like a monster, filled inside with holy and purifying power, and myriad beasts surrounding them outside. No matter which other Temples domain would attack, it would immediately be repelled and sustain quite a powerful shock. Dont forget that right now, Long Haochens group had full ess to their equipment. Caier used naturally the Sickle of the God of Death, and her Domain of Purifications destructive power gained a severalfolds power boost. Chen Yingers Saint Spiritual Robe supplied her with a close to limitless spiritual energy. In battle endurance, even Long Haochen and his Heart of Eternity would not be a match against her! As for Long Haochen, he was fully equipped, with the Golden Foundation Armor on him, and the Divine Unicorn behind. If not for consideration of his excessively tyrannical power, for fear that it would affect the fusion of their three domains, he would even have called out Haoyue. The greatest boost Long haochen had did note from the Divine Unicorn or Golden Foundation Armor, but from the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in his right hand. A soft multicolored radiance was exuded from the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, boosting all the aspects of his Light God Domain. The holy spiritual energy of the Divine Snail Shield was just as pure as Long Haochens, and furthermore it had an extreme defensive power. Under its boosting effects, Long Haochens group of threes domain fusion became iparably stable. Three divine tools for three individuals was an extremely rare disy, even for the Six Great Temples. The most important in the domain battle was not ones attack but ones defense. The Holy Bead being a space of chaos, no one could control attacks. All they could do would be to strengthen their defenses to the greatest extent, to possiblyst for the longest time possible inside the Saint Bead, thus obtaining an even better ranking. With equipment authorized, the Six Great Temples trump cards came to view. The Knight Temples participation in this battle was impressively led by Long Tianying, with Yang Haoyu at his side, as well as the Supreme Shield Knight. Long Tianyings Divine Throne was a divine tool obviously, Yang Haoyu had his Starry Sky Mythological Beasts assistance, which reached the divine tool grade as well. The Supreme Shield Knight also had a huge shield in his hand, three meters long and two meters wide, a terrible Pagoda Shield emitting a dark golden gloss. A multicolored htion flickered in the midst of that dark gold. A divine tool ranked shield! This was the first time Long Haochen saw another divine tool ranked shield than his own Divine Snail Shield. Now, the three knights all had a divine tool of their own in this domain battle, and furthermore, a Divine Throne being such a famous object in the Temple Alliance, was not only a divine tool, but moreover a special set. Right now, the most domineering domain in the Saint Bead was these three knights. The spiritual energy they totalled was over a million, they had three divine tools, and the strongest Yang Haoyu in their ranks. The addition of these elements put the three knights to an invincible position. Compared to the union of their domains, the other sides domains were clearly no match. Only second to the Knight Temple was the Mage Temple. Three mages waving a staff in each of their hands, with Li Zhengzhis green staff releasing a multicolored gloss as well, the sign of a divine tool. Meanwhile, the same applied to his green magic robe, which was to say that he had at least two divine tools on his person alone. But his two helpers had no divine tool; both were d in sets of epic tier equipment, which still provided a pretty good boost. The three mages and knights had their different strength. After their domains entered the Saint Bead, they did not hold any advantage, but kept chanting from beginning to end. Thanks to Long Haochens mental forces considerable level, while controlling his sides domain, he also probed on the changes of the other united domains, finding out that as the three mages kept chanting, the Mage Temples sides domain was swiftly integrating, bing more and more integral, and showing traces of rising to a higher level. What a great Mage Temple! They were making use of magics features to make their three domains into a domain of a kind of chaotic magic! No wonder Li Zhengzhi was so fearless, they really had made their preparations ahead of time. The other Temples all had their own features, but were somewhatckingpared to the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple. The most miserable was the Warrior Temple. From the looks of it, the Warrior Temple still had a good foundation. Under Qiu Yonghaos lead, these three participating warriors had not even a single piece of epic tier equipment, all were d in legendary tier equipment. This was clearly pitiable, as, in fact, they were representatives of the Warrior Temples strength! So the Warrior Temples side was clearly the weakest out of the seven domain unions. But because of the sharpness of Qiu Yonghaos Sword Intent Domain, they could still persist for some time. Long Haochen was not the least bit worried, having a calm smile on his face, exercising control over the relinquished territory of their sides domain. Because Chen Yingers Beast God Domain was the outermost, her spiritual energy consumption was much higher than Long Haochen and Caier, but thanks to the overwhelming Spiritual Saint Robe, this was no issue for the time being. In the meantime, having Chen Yingers protection made Long Haochen and Caiers spiritual energy consumption the lowest possible. Chen Hongyu and his tworades felt tinges of helplessness as they deployed their own domains, asionally looking at Chen Yinger in great pain. If this girl d in the Spiritual Saint Robe was on their side, Chen Hongyu would have felt absolutely confident in being able to contend against the Knight Temple and Mage Temple. His Mythological Beasts Domain could easily meld with the other two great summoners domain in one. If Chen Yingers Beast God Domain and Saint Spiritual Robe were added to the lot, he could even utilize the Mythologic Beast Array inside the Saint Bead, matching the Knight Temple and Mage Temples sides. As time passed, the diverse Temples trumps were released, and an hour had already gone by in the blink of an eye. They were all struggling in their own ways, but on the surface, no side was close to being unable to endure anymore. Chen Zidian stood calmly, observing the domains contest. This Saint Bead was truly miraculous: even someone so strong as him would not dare attempt to pour his own domain inside, especially with the twenty one domains currently within. However, his powerful mental force enabled him to probe at the conflict between the seven parties within. Another hour passed, and noon was drawing closer. This time, some changes in the situation were visible. The most inferior party would always be the most conspicuous and this time was no exception. Right now, the three powerhouses from the Warrior Temple were all dripping with sweat. Their domain unions inside the Saint Bead were shaking violently at each collision. Clearly they would not be able to keep up for much longer. No one dared force things in this domain battle. The reason was simple: if some ident urs, the domain will shatter within the saint Bead, resulting in great damage to ones strength. Chapter 721 - Long Haochen’s chance encounter (I)

Chapter 721: Long Haochens chance encounter (I)

Trantor: GravityTales When two hours had passed, Qiu Yonghao finally let out a deep sigh, retiring alongside his two mates. A powerful surge of power was expelled from the Saint Bead, pushing them to the edge of the stadium. The Warrior Temples situation was now irreversible. So far, they had fewer than thirty points in total. Qiu Yonghaos unsightlyplexion reached almost the point of bleeding. He did not keep watching, turning around to leave the stadium, heading back to sulk in his terrace. With one lesspetitor, the shes inside the Saint Bead not only did not reduce, but instead became even more frantic. In particr, after the Mage Temples domain gradually united, its power expanded more and more, with the fusion of wind, darkness and earth. Their domain was like magic, and the oveid boosts on it looked no weaker than the Knight Temple. It was because of their increasingly domineering performance that the Warrior Temple was forced to back down. The Assassin and Spiritual Temple were approaching a crisis, shaking violently on every one of their shes with the Knight Temple or Mage Temples domain, sustaining heavy shaking. Bright Glimmer of Hopes side was better off. The three of them kept their domain stabilized, contributing under Long Haochens guidance to their own part. Although Chen Yinger had arge consumption, their situation was rather good still. After the Warrior Temple fell down, the Priest Temple became the most endangered side. They were neither expert in attacking nor defending, and although the three great domain wielding powerhouses under elder Lings lead were coordinating pretty well, they were unable toe up with effective countermeasures to the repeated shes, and thus naturally had their consumptions going faster than the other Temples. Right now, the three priests had very unsightly looks on their faces, looking about to possibly retire from thepetition at any time now. Now that it was midday, Long Haochen who had been staying calm so far along suddenly lifted his head slowly, with his eyes shing with an especially clear brilliance. The instant his head was lifted, his momentum first affected Yang Haoyu and Li Zhengzhi, whose cultivations were the highest out of everyone present, and were the ones following Long Haochen with the most attention. Catching sight of Haochens glistening eyes, Yang Haoyu felt a chill. They both understood that something was going to happen. Just as expected, Long Haochens next action shocked all the domain wielding powerhouses present, even including Chen Zidian who almost lost his voice in rm. A drizzling brilliance red out from the chaotic domain of Long Haochens group of three. This golden light was characteristic of Long Haochens Light God Domain, and it had a congealed white color on its outer part. Is he going mad? In the seven parties domain shes, each parties were to stabilize their domains union, strongly defending their positions, while doing their utmost to avoid excessive consumption. But right now, Long Haochen was unexpectedly spreading out his domain within the Saint Bead. Although it looked as though his domain was integrating Caiers domain well, even this way his unleashed domain would be a public target of all the Temples attacks: It would very possibly lead next to their elimination. But a scene that shocked everyone present followed. After the Five Great Temples union domains shed with this golden white radiance, they were expelled. This radiance contained very special fluctuations of spiritual energy. That seemed to be a paramount existence, in front of which the colliding domain felt as if encountering a totally red-hot piece of metal in the midst of melting. So the powerhouses from the other five Temples had no other choice but to contract their domains, so as to avoid further collision. Were they using magic fusion? Li Zhengzhi was astonished: he did not expect the fusion of Long Haochen and Caiers domain to actually show such a powerful might. But, in reality, the domains influence was mainly exerted from Long Haochen and Caiers domain union. Only Bright Glimmer of Hope knew about the associated level of amplification. Long Haochen and Caiers domains were already at a very high level; the Light God Domains iparable purity could be called number one of the whole continent with no hesitation, whilst Caiers Domain of Purification had the power of purifying all negative things, especially the powers of darkness and death. When the purest Light God Domain encountered the most purifying Domain of Purification, a mystic change was produced. Its light received a reaction of fondness from the purifying energy, just like the love between Long Haochen and Caier, devoid of any estrangement. After the two parties mutual integration, it became a domain of divine light of purification, boosting the purifying force with lights amplification to make it reach an astonishing level. This instant, it actually managed to suppress the attacks of all five other united domains. Of course, in this state of union, Long Haochen and Caiers consumption went up severalfold, and increased the stronger the other domains attacks were. After a short time of shock, Li Zhengzhi couldnt help but purse his eyebrows. Despite the short time he had dealings with Long Haochen, he had a good understanding of his character. To his knowledge, despite his young age, he showed a far steadier character than his contemporaries, and wouldnt make any move without an aim. His sudden expansion of the domain surely had some basis. But, what could he be nning? Such arge expansion was an easy thing to aplish, but hard to undo. Even they shouldnt find it easy to withdraw it after such an expansion. Very rapidly, a reply came from him. After shaking the other domains, the Light God Purification Domains purifying white suddenly disappeared. In other words, only Long Haochens Light God Domain remained. So this way, in the next encounter he would have to resist over ten other powerhouses domains on his own. But a shocking scene took ce this instant. Those golden light rays suddenly retracted, and Long Haochen suddenly exerted a forceful control of his Light God Domain. The others were unable to exert control within the Saint Bead, but he managed it. His Light God Domain waspressed like a golden rope, and lightly connected with the Priest Temples united domain which looked like it could quit at any time now. The instant the two domains made contact, the Priest Temples three powerhouses had looks of unbelief. Immediately, the three domains were unable to keep control, and joined the side of Long Haochens three. These three priests domain union waspressed in a sh, blending within Long Haochens Light God Domain. This... The emergence of this scene left the three powerful knights of the Knight Temple full of disbelief. Who could have thought that Long Haochen would make such a shocking move to forcefully integrate the Priest Temples three powerhouses domain within his own? This way, his domain incorporated six domains strength! Dont think the Knight Temple and Mage Temple are invincible because of their powerful disys. They were in the end only three people. Long Haochens side had integrated the three priests domains, thus causing a sharp increase of its power,pletely surpassing the Knight Temple and Mage Temples two sides. The three priests immediately understood the situation after a short period of shock. Furthermore, while under the Light God Domains wrapping, their domain benefited from a mutual integration of higher perfection. And after the three priests got a clear feel of their domain within the Light God Domain, they felt it be more and more pure. This gave them a wide joy. They realized this time the extent of the Long Haochens domain. Perhaps his cultivation was stillcking, but his domains grade was perhaps unmatched within the whole Alliance. The three priests very rapidly steadied their feelings, and elder Ling even had a thin smile on his face. He vaguely guessed that Long Haochen was exchanging gifts! The favor of letting them have the qualifications to enter the Illusory Shrine of back then, this youngster was now repaying it. Amidst the Temples Great Gathering, even after so many rounds, there had yet to be such a situation where two Temples united domains joined together. Not due to unwillingness, butck of capability. Long Haochens conduct looked simple, but actually, this was something even the number one powerhouse of the Alliance, Yang Haoyu, was not able to reproduce. Controlling ones domain within the Saint Bead was just far, far too hard. The factors of Long Haochens sess were, for one, the assistance of Caiers Domain of Purification, but also because of his domains high grade, and his own high mental force. But even so, he had to first deploy the domain to a high enough scale, before retracting it back. A great trick was used up in the midst of theter process: whenpressing it back, he had to create a connection with the Priest Temples side, topress theirs as well. Rtively speaking, this wasnt too difficult with control, but wasnt doable by any other Temples domains. Moreover, and more importantly, Long Haochens Light God Domain was able to instantly achieve assimtion and fusion with the Priest Temples domain. Under the Light God Domains gentle domination, the priests domain did not show any resistance. Even these three Priest Temple powerhouses were pulled to Long Haochens side due to the domains attraction. Just by relying on these two things, Long Haochen managed to gain the use of the Priest Temples three great domains. Chapter 722 - Long Haochen’s chance encounter (II)

Chapter 722: Long Haochens chance encounter (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Elder Lings smiling expression became more and more pronounced. Long Haochens domain integration not only made the domains of the three of them even purer, it also gave great benefits to their cultivations. Also, the six peoples united domains gave rise to a stronger side, putting them into an invincible position. This way, even if in the end the Priest Temple was eliminated earlier on, they could still perhaps surpass the Knight Temple and Mage Temple! This could be called a great opportunity, as they were originally supposed to get eliminated soon. This was Long Haochens secret trump that he thought of after Long Tianying gave him a detailed description of the contest to take ce within the Saint Bead. His Light God Domainmanded all holy spiritual energy. In this domain contest, although gaps existed between the Six Great Temples powerhouses, these gaps were not too wide. By uniting with another side, he was sure to be thest remaining one. Bright Glimmer of Hope was originally in the top three of this domain battle in strength, but in a direct sh they wouldnt necessarily achieve victory against the Knight Temple and Mage Temple. But with the addition of the Priest Temple, they gained a gargantuan advantage. Long Haochen actually had several more choices. They could have relied on the Warrior Temple as well, after all Qiu Yonghao was also a light user. But the Warrior Temples three used different spiritual energy attributes, and relied on Qiu Yonghaos stripping their fields to force things between them. Thisplicated things: the situation within the Spiritual Bead was frantic, and Long Haochen did not have such a wide energy. So he had no other choice but to give up on that option. The next pick avable were the Knight Temple and Priest Temple. The Knight Temples three powerhouses were also light users, and pretty close to Long Haochen. But dont forget that these three were really strong. Long Tianying had his Divine Thrones amplification and Yang Haoyu had the Starry Sky Domain. Long Haochen wouldnt be able to subdue them so easily with his Light God Domain. And, the other Temples could very likely show dissatisfaction. So Long Haochen finally figured he may as well pick the Priest Temple. The three priests gentle domains would show the least rejection in front of his Light God Domain, and the Priest Temple was originally in a weak position amongst the six Temples. Pulling them to his side would not affect the struggle between the Knight Temple and Mage Temple. Long Haochen chose a timely decisiveness, right when the Priest Temple was about to get eliminated. This way, the Priest Temple showed a much higher eptance toward his Domains assimtion. This avoided them the embarrassment of having to quit. Long Haochens n was without doubt a sess. Seeing the smile on elder Lings face rxed him greatly. Their new state of stability and benefitting from the Light God Domains amplification stabilized the three priests domains. The verdict was clear. Long Tianying shot a nce to Long Haochen with a gloomy feeling, secretly thinking, This brat is actually taking advantage of the Priest Temple in such a way. Even if he couldnt unite with Brother Yangs domain, he should have consulted us ahead of time, just have Brother Yang quit and thats all. However, his gloominess only continued for a short time before he returned to normal. He secretly found the situation funny: if his grandson really did so, they could be afraid that the other five Temples would show a collective disagreement. This guy was really intelligent! The domain battle kept going with no suspense, and an hourter, the Assassin Temple and Spiritual Temple withdrew in session. The Knight Temple, Mage Temple, and the side formed by Long Haochen and the Priest Temple stood in confrontation. This time, neither of the three parties gave a way out. Long Haochen calmly and rxedly controlled the united domains defenses, showing no traces of panic. Neither the Knight Temple nor the Mage Temple would, upon contact with their domain, induce arge consumption. However, he had some bias in him after all. When the Knight Temples side rammed in, because they were light element users as well, they had far smaller consumption than the Mage Temples united magic side. When Long Haochen and Caiers mixed domains asionally appeared, every one of the Divine Purification Lights attacks ecffectively weakened these two Temples. The fact that the Priest Temples three powerhouses had loosened control over their domain to hand its control over to Long Haochen really gave him the strongest backing possible. Under these circumstances, the oue came with no suspense. When the day was dimming, the three powerhouses form the Mage Temples were finally expelled from the Saint Bead. The Mage Temple having having already gotten beaten, the Knight Temple had no reason to keep persisting, anyway they had no way to stand above Long Haochens group. Therefore the three knights simply gave up directly. Afterwards, Long Haochens three and the Priest Temple separated their union, and the three powerhouses from the Priest Temple voluntarily renounced with no hesitation, Long Haochen, Caier and Chen Yinger finally departing the Saint Bead at the end. The match being over, results were announced. When the Warrior Temples head Qiu Yonghao returned to the field, hisplexion was just as unsightly twenty-four points was simply the lowest score in history. The chief referee Chen Zidian announced, The domain battle of the Temples Great Gathering has ended. Number one is Bright Glimmer of Hope, number two, Priest Temple, number three, Knight Temple, number four, Mage Temple, number five, Spiritual Temple, number six, Assassin Temple, and number seven, the Warrior Temple. In view of this years addition of Bright Glimmer of Hope, and after consultation with the elected staff, the number ones reward has been increased to six hundred, and thest fives gradually falling down to hundred, with thest position receiving none. The point counts are as follows: Bright Glimmer of Hope, 1042, Knight Temple, 698, Priest Temple, 620, Mage Temple, 555, Spiritual Temple, 378, Assassin Temple, 164, Warrior Temple, 24. The gap between Bright Glimmer and the rest aside, the Priest Temple could be described the greatest winner aside from Bright Glimmer of Hope, having surpassed the Mage Temple in one move, by rising to the third position. Such a grand event had never happened in the History of the Temples Great Gatherings; for a moment, both the Priest Temples head Ling Xiao, and elder Ling were beaming with joy. Their looks toward Long Haochens crew were full of goodwill. Chen Zidian kept going, Tomorrow, thest stage will be going. Due to the high quantity of contestants, and the permitted use of equipment, the battlefield will be the sky. The individualpetition had already had the field wrecked out, to say nothing of a teampetition. That would be ten against ten, in battles with no restrictions in equipment. With a few divine tools additionned to the drive of several powerhouses of the ninth step, to say nothing about the Temples Great Gatherings field, even Holy City could as well be torn open by them. So having the team battle stage go on an aerial stage, and that must be at far altitude and far from Holy City. Chief referee. Right at this time, Chen Hongyu stepped up, nodded lightly to Chen Zidian. So? You have something to say about that Hongyu? Chen Hongyu unhappily imed, Chief referee, I trust that you have seen the process of the previous domain battle. I believe the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope to have not won fairly. Seeing the Priest Temple stand above them, Chen Hongyu once again took offense. Is that really so? Alright, then please express your views, you contestants from the other Temples. Tianying, you start. He shifted his nce toward Long Tianying. Long Tianying replied with a tranquill smile, I have not seen Long Tianying pull out any dishonest trick. Although we also lost, I am sincerely convinced in my loss. I am indeed his grandfather, but will still speak my view. Let me ask all of you, even if you knew about this method, who of you could having done it? I can say that I couldnt. Long Haochens strong control over his domain enabled him move unhindered within the whole Saint Bead, absorbing the three domains of the Priest Temple in a sh with control and integration. That was a disy of unconditional strength. Let me ask once again, would any of you have acted differently in front of the same good chance? When left with the choice to either drop out or join hands with Bright Glimmer of Hope. Hearing Long Tianyings response, the nearby elder Ling lightly smiled, Tianying is not mistaken. First putting aside how Haochen achieved it, no one else would have refused such a good deal! We can be considered having taken part in Bright Glimmer of Hopes brilliance this time. The Assassin Temples Sheng Yueughed indifferently, shooting Chen Hongyu a nce, responding disdainfully, Leave it at that youre no good. Why me this and that legit thing? What acking character! What did you just say? Chen Hongyu erupted in a burst of anger, ring at Sheng Yue. These two were originally not getting along well, Adding to that the factor of the Spiritual Temple and Assassin Temples opposite sides in the Temples Great Gathering, Chen Hongyu could be said to have really be agitated. Sheng Yue did not give the slightest leeway, So what? Want to fight a duel with youre unconvinced? Enough. Chen Zidian shouted, instantly extending a uncorporeal pressure to the whole stage. Almighty person was not just a simple name. How about you, Yonghao? Chen Zidian shifted his nce to Qiu Yonghao. Three of the six Temples had already expressed their approvals of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Qiu Yonghao showed a bitter smile, Back then, we were already eliminated, and have no clear knowledge of the events that followed within the Saint Bead. Our Warrior Temple is abstaining from expressing our views. As the Mage Temples bestrade, Qiu Yonghao couldnt directly support the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope this time. But he had his own view: in the midst of disappointment, he had a few thoughts. For the sake of the Warrior Temples future, he must n ahead, first of all by not offending the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. They absolutely didnt expect their strength to reach such lengths. After three stages, they were in the lead with over a thousand points. Both the Knight Temple and Mage Temple would find it close to impossible to reverse the stakes in the final stage. Long Haochens powerful Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, and the divine tools the three of them showed today, were all demonstrations of Bright Glimmer of Hopes great assets. Chapter 723 - Long Haochen’s lucky encounter (III)

Chapter 723: Long Haochens lucky encounter (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Chen Zidian nodded. Out of the Six Great Temples, three were on their side and one neutral, so there was no need to even ask the Mage Temple toe to a conclusion. However, out of respect for the Mage Temple, Chen Zidian looked at Li Zhengzhi with an inquiring gaze. Li Zhengzhi remained very calm, as if no longer affected by the gloom of his Mage Temple receiving the fourth position in the domain battle. Chief referee,rades. First of all, I agree with your previous statements. Although Bright Glimmer of Hope used some tricks in this domain battle, they managed it with their strength. Without the extraordinariness of Long Haochens Light God Domain, they couldnt possibly have achieved this much. Even if they hadnt united with the Priest Temple, they could very possibly have still ended as the final victors. So, there is no need to dwell any longer on this matter. Seeing Li Zhengzhi so easily let go of the opportunity of making things hard for Bright Glimmer of Hope, Long Tianying couldnt help but reveal a look of shock. Other than that, I have a suggestion. Li Zhengzhi continued, Thepetition having reached so far, there wont be a big change to the final rankings anymore. So, I believe that there is no longer need to conduct the final team battle. The team battle involving so many people, and furthermore allowing the use of equipment, it would very easily result in idental injuries. This Temples Great Gathering should just end with the current rankings. Although the Temples Great Gathering is an important matter taking ce once every ten years, it is also bound to catch demonkins attention. All of us are peak powerhouses of our Temples, so saving as much time as possible would be the best. So I believe that the most important matter that follows should be to get the Alliance ready, and make preparations for the future counterattack against demonkind. Li Zhengzhis speech did not merely shock everyone present. Li Zhengzhis statement implied that the Mage Temple was renouncing on their struggle in this Temples Great Gathering. Even Long Tianying who did not like him much could but nod in silence. So! this Li Zhengzhi still knows which things to prioritize. Chen Zidian nodded, The Temples Great Gathering is a symbolic event of once every ten years. Lessening the number of stages must be out of all the Temples agreement. Please lift your hand, all those who agree about shifting the end of the gathering ahead of time? The calm looking Li Zhengzhi was the first one to lift his hand. Immediately next, the Knight Temple and Bright Glimmer of Hope followed by lifting their own hands. This situation was really the most ideal one in their eyes. The head of the Warrior Temple Qiu Yonghao gave Li Zhengzhi a nce, lifting his hand, he was filled with secret admiration toward Li Zhengzhi. Knowing when to bow was really an admirable quality. Sheng Yue also lifted his nce, full of appreciation toward Long Haochen and Caier. Finally, these two youngsters stood at the peak of humankind. On the side of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao and Ling Lao naturally showed no opposition. They had at the present time achieved the third rank, an unprecented score for the Priest Temple. If one party was the most willing to conclude thepetition at that point, that would no doubt be them. Only one hand was not lifted, and now the only party left was the Spiritual Temple. All gazes gathered onto Chen Hongyu. Although a tough old man, his scheming heart was rarely surpassed. No matter how unwilling he was to see the Spiritual Temple achieve fifth, he had to follow suit, for the sake of maneuvering for the standing of the Spiritual Temple in the new Alliance. During the vote, Chen Hongyu seemed to mutter words in a very low voice, voluntarily for Sheng Yue to hear them, At least we have more points than some others. Not too bad I guess. This time Sheng Yue didnt pay attention. Carrying a smile on his face, he had a calm and easy going look. Seeing everyone ept Li Zhengzhis proposal, Chen Zidian nodded, Alright. In that case, I, chief referee, announce the end of the Temples Great Gathering. The rankings are such, number one Bright Glimmer of Hope, number two, Priest Temple, number three, Knight Temple, number four, Mage Temple, number five, Spiritual Temple, number six, Assassin Temple, and number seven, Warrior Temple. Tomorrow morning, the Six Great Temples and Bright Glimmer of Hopes representatives shall convene in a meeting to discuss the matters of the new Alliance. Yes. Everyone bowed at the same time, bowing to Chen Zidian. No one could deny that this legendary character was the most fitting chief referee that they could have. The Temples Great Gathering was terminated early after three stages. One could say that this was a really unexpected thing. In the eyes of theter generation, this instance of the gathering was really drawing the start of an unmatched era in History. Li Zhengzhi carried a faint smile on his face, as he walked to face Long Haochen extending his hand in front of him, Congrattions, Haochen. Long Haochen gave a sincere response, Thank you. Be at ease, I wont disappoint you. Li Zhengzhi returned the smile, I will be waiting for that day you will have a Divine Throne at your side. The congrattions he gave Long Haochen also meant taht Li Zhengzhi was abandoning the struggle for the new Alliances leadership. Without this greatest rival they had, the rest would go much easier. Long Haochen nodded, Certainly. Long Tianying joined Li Zhengzhis side, patting his shoulder, The youngsters generation ising. I originally thought you were very young all along, but now you seem much older eheh. Li Zhengzhi snorted, Old Long, although you are not up to much, you gave birth to a good son, and now a good grandson. Hearing his mocking, Long Tianying didnt take it at heart, onlyughing heartily, These are thoune great genes. Chen Hongyu let out a snort, Bullshit. I cant see much simrity in the two of you, and hes looking much better. Dont attribute yourself unexisting merits. Long Tianyingughed, Say as you please. This old man is in a good mood today, Ill take it as jealousy from the two of you. The other Temples leaders were really jealous! Jealous for Long Tianying to have grown such a good grandson. The ability Long Haochen just disyed atop of being on the verge of establishing a new Alliance, would really make the Knight Temple the absolute leader for the next hundred years. If humankind truly manages to vanquish demonkind, this position would only consolidate even further. So Long Haochens existence could be said to be settling the Knight Temple to the ruling position of the new Alliance. Long Haochen bowed to the leaders, while humbly expressing that his achievement of championship was just a matter of luck. The Temples Great Gathering was terminated, but this was just a start to the new Temple Alliance. What came next would be even more important. Before this session had started, the Six Great Temples had priorly consulted, determining that the changes to the new Alliance would demand immediate action. After six thousand years of settlement, the gap between the Temple Alliance and demonkind was no longer asrge. But why could they onlye onto passive beating in the Holy War? Strength was a factor, but was the gap in their strength sorge? The answer was indefinite. The most important reason that they remained so passive lied in their mutual policies. Demon Hunt Squads proved at repeated times the uses of joining several vocations together. But even now, vocationbination had never happened from the Start of the war to its end. The key point of this lied in the estrangement of the Six Great Temples. To resolve this matter was not achievable in a matter of words, but needed deep rooted changes of the Alliance. As a matter of facts, no one was willing to see themselves supervised by another one. But an important factor finally brought thispromise between everyone, and that was the immense threat of demonkind. Four years ago, the Holy War gave the Temple Alliance the greatestprehension of demonkinds strength they ever had. Before that, the Six Great Temples all acknowledge that even if the Alliances attack was insufficient, their defenses were ample. But in reality, even if demonkind had not deployed their full force, and their strongest races had yet to take part from beginning to end, they found it still very difficult to repel the demon offenses. Not only they suffered disastrous losses, but they even narrowly lost some of their forts. The ones that experienced this the deepest were the Assassin Temple, Warrior Temple and Priest Temple. Their three Temples were nearly lost in the assaults of the enemies. Thus, after the Holy War ended, the Six Great Temple convened several meetings, gradually consenting to the foundation of a new Alliance. For the sake of resisting the demon threat, and for humankind to go on, they couldnt keep moving out of selfishness. No matter how humankinds future bnce of power would turn out, their first priority was to maintain the human race, or that talk would not even exist. However, the matter on who should lead this new Alliance was discussed for very long. In the end, this session of Temples Great Gathering was supposed to determined that the most greatly: let your strength talk for you. If not for Bright Glimmer of Hopes sudden addition, one could be afraid that the Knight Temple and Mage Temples struggle would have persisted until thest fight. Li Zhengzhis renouncement was not only due to Bright Glimmer of Hopes performance, but also because of the Knight Temples power. He originally believed that the Mage Temple wouldpletely be able to suppress the Knight Temple, but when things started for real, the Knight Temple managed to stand above the Mage Temple without even their two Divine Knights taking part. This was a massive blow to Li Zhengzhi, who did not expect this situation. Now without a doubt, it would be meaningless to keep struggling. Theres no way the Knight Temple would leave themanding position to the Mage Temple. Although the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was led by Long Haochen, that was after all a Demon Hunt Squad, and was thus formed with six powerhouses from different parties. These youngsters would be the future leading pirs of the Alliance. So at least each of the Temples would have a leading figure amongst their ranks. This was the major reason why Chen Zidian wanted Long Haochens group to return and participate in this struggle for power. Bright Glimmer of Hopes appearance was sudden, but after deep considerations, all parties gave them their support, which was the hardest oue which could be considered.

Chapter 724: The Unions Chairman (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Back in the Alliances headquarters, the remaining prep work aside, the meeting for the establishment of the new Alliance was going to take ce in one day. Its length would depend on how long the Six Great Temples would need toe to a consensus. Long Haochen led hisrades back but did not rest, immediately researching until evening. Just as Long Haochen anticipated, has-drugs-bro remained reliable. He was back when the time woulde for the meeting. Howe youre only back now, has-drugs-bro? The Temples Great Gathering has terminated ahead of time you know? Chen Yinger expressed to Lin Xin. Lin Xin had a rare expression of great seriousness on him, I am already aware of that. Captain, these days I have been learning the Saint Sun Curse from Grandpa, so... Long Haochen nodded, We are all brothers, no need to justify yourself. Sit too, I will tell you about the circumstances of the meeting we have previously been discussing. Maybe you will have some good suggestions. Lin Xin replied, after sitting across Long Haochen, Captain, before you tell me, I have something I need to report to you. Before my return, Temple Head Li Zhengzhi came to me, and had a message for you. He said that when the time of the electiones, if our Bright Glimmer of Hope takes only one representative from each Temple, he will give us his full support. Long Haochen revealed a smile, Temple Head Li took the path I expected. The setup of the new Alliance will change a lot of things. One could say that one major aspect is the benefits each of the Six Great Temples can reap. If we want everything to go well, the first thing we need is to keep a bnce. Be at ease, I have a n. One night passed, and the next day, the Alliances headquarters convened a meeting, As agreed priorly, each of the Six Great Temples participation in the meeting involved thirty-six people, all of whom were contestants of the gathering. Besides Bright Glimmer of Hope and Chen Zidian, of the thirty-six representatives for the Demon Hunt Squads, there were twenty or so spots for Demon Hunters above the king grade. So, there were two hundred fifty-two participants in this distinguished meeting, separated in seven sides. Less than ten people qualified to sit on the raised stage. From left to right were seated the Warrior Temples Head, the Assassin Temples head Sheng Yue, the Mage Temples head Li Zhengzhi, the legendary Chen Zidian, captain of Bright Glimmer of Hope Long Haochen, the Knight Temples head Yang Haohan, the Spiritual Temples head Chen Hongyu, as well as Ling Xiao, the Priest Temples head. The ordering of seats was a great disy of the benefits Bright Glimmer of Hope led by Long Haochen had gained. If not for these outstanding results, theres no way he would be qualified to sit on this rostrum unless the Knight Temple promoted him to their new Temple Head, based on his previous status in the Alliance. The one in charge of the meeting was the current head of the Temple Alliance, a chief of the Knight Temple, holder of the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy, and Divine Knight of Defense and Ruling, Yang Haohan. Since everyone is gathered, let us start this meeting immediately. Yang Haohans calm voice reverberated throughout the whole stage, unobstructed by the facilities around, and spread clearly to all ears. First of all, let me congratte Bright Glimmer of Hope for having just achieved championship over the just finished Temples Great Gathering. Then Yang Haohan took the initiative to apude, followed immediately by the powerhouses of the Six Great Temples and Demon Hunt Squad representatives below, filling the whole room in warm apuses. This was not just praise for the group of youngsters, but heartfelt admiration. Long Haochen stood up, beating his right fist on the left of his chest, and performing a standard knight salute to everyone present, before bowing to Yang Haohan to express gratitude. Yang Haohan said, For the sake of fairness, the Six Great Temples and Demon Hunt Squads sides shall both have thirty-six representatives, including every one of us sitting on the rostrum. After many consultations, our Alliance finally came to a consensus in establishing a new Alliance, for the sake of uniting the Six Great Temples forces against the demon threat. Let me now ask if anyone objects the setup of the new Alliance; if so raise your hands. Sweeping his dignified gaze to the surroundings, he confirmed that no one raised their hand, then he continued, Alright. Since no one is opposed, let us start the discussion over a new Alliance. Next, I will detail the context and constitution of the new Alliance. From the setup of the Temple Alliance to now, over six thousand years of history have passed. For six thousand years we have been umting forces in the struggle against demonkind, to gradually finally gain a foothold. But as we were thinking to be steady enough to guarantee self-preservation, or even have a chance tounch a counterattack against demonkind, they thrashed their fists right into our faces. I believe that everyone should remember very clearly the Holy War that took ce four years ago. The damage that was inflicted to the Alliance back then was really disastrous. A great amount of powerhouses met with death in the struggle, and one could say that if not for the fact that the Demon God Emperor did not lead the strongest three demon ns, this Holy War would very possibly have led to the destruction of the Alliance, putting the people in terrible situations. Now we know even better that the current loose structure of the Alliance is insufficient to resist against demonkind. If we cannot bring out the greatest features of each of our human fighting vocations, we wont ever be able to gain the advantage in this struggle against demonkind. So, the Six Great Temples must unify, giving birth to a whole new Alliance. For the conflict between the Alliance and demonkind, we must have a unified voice and integrate all the forces of the Alliance, gathering them under a centralized power, just like a nation-state. Orders will demand exactpliance, so our powerhouses from the Six Great Temple can join hands just like our Demon Hunt Squads to wield the greatest fighting strength. Thus, I have decided that the new Alliance shall be called Temple Union, changing all the Six Temples government into a centralized government. There will be one Temple Unions chairman, six vice-chairmen, and thirty-six permanent council members. For some important matters, the unions council will make decisions by vote, with each vice-chairmens vote counting as two and the chairmans vote counting as five. Also, the chairman will have a veto power. If the six vice-chairmen all agree, or over eighty percent of the council agrees, the chairman can be removed from the position following miconduct. Changing the Alliance into the Union, as well as all these rules, were already all approved by the Six Great Temples after countless discussions. For the sake of guaranteeing fairness, as well as avoiding the issue of an overly powerful central power, the Six Temples higher-ups had been racking their brains a lot, and finally came to this unified conclusion with great difficulty. The most important point of this session of Temples Great Gathering was the selection of this chairman. Based on the previous discussion the Six Great Temples had, the Temple which would be able to obtain championship would be the one to bring out the union leader. This was also the reason why the Knight Temple had invited their strongest knight, Yang Haoyu, who was training in seclusion until then. After the new unions foundation, the union chairman would have an enormous authority. Although that couldntpare with a monarchical regimes emperor, that would still be a character with great authority. Furthermore, the Temple from whence this union leader shalle would be sure to be advantaged. That is why the struggle was so fierce. Anyone against the new unions centralized power system, raise your hand. Yang Haohan calmly spoke these words. Meetings pertaining to a union had been going on for five years. Yang Haohans question was thus actually just a formality. As expected, the opinion was unanimous. Yang Haohan nodded, Good. Next, we will conduct votes for determining the chairman and vice-chairmen. The chairman candidate is Bright Glimmer of Hopes captain, Long Haochen. The vice-chairmen candidates are Qiu Yonghao, the Warrior Temples Head, the Assassin Temples head Sheng Yue, the Mage Temples head Li Zhengzhi, the Knight Temples head Long Tianyin, the Spiritual Temples head Chen Hongyu, and the Priest Temples head Ling Xiao. Everyone should be familiar with these six Temple Heads. I will next introduce the chairman candidate Long Haochen. Long Haochen, male, aged twenty-five years old. Vocation: Retribution and Guardian dual knight. Captain of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. Overwhelming innate internal spiritual energy, bestowed with the Scion of Light physique. Holy Knight of the second rank, and already qualified to obtain a Divine Thrones approval. Previously, Long Haochen had achieved championship in the Demon Hunt Squad Selection, thus founding the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. The team he led has in over four demon gods, destroying two demon god pirs. In the Holy War, he gained great merits in respectively the Knight Temple, Assassin Temple, Warrior Temple, and Mage Temple. This session of the Temples Great Gathering was won by the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. This is how he became the chairman candidate. If anyone opposes his nomination as chairman, raise your hands. Although a lot of them knew about Long Haochen to some extent, hearing Yang Haohans introduction of Long Haochens career, especially the part about his being only twenty-five years old, raised a short, pitched discussion. But fortunately, no one raised a hand in opposition. Yang Haohan let out a secret sigh. What he feared the most was to see an issue arise in this area. Although a few opposed wouldnt be enough to cancel this decision, that would still have a bad influence on Haochens future ruling of the new union. So, since no one objects, the matter of the chairman is decided. As for the six vice-chairmen candidates, does anyone object? The powerhouses from the Six Great Temples still expressed no reaction, but this instant came something unexpected. Sitting on the rostrum, the head of the Spiritual Temple, Chen Hongyu, raised his hand suddenly, I have an objection! Chapter 725 - The Union’s Chairman (II)

Chapter 725: The Unions Chairman (II)

Trantor: GravityTales As a result of the previous days domain battle, Chen Hongyu had already disyed dissatisfaction. His sudden raising of an objection immediately caught all the surrounding attention. Everyones gazended on him. Chen Hongyu stood up, a calm look on his face, I express opposition to the proposal of making me a vice-chairman of the union. Yang Haohan looked at him in shock, doubtfully responding, Brother Chen, you must think it over. You represent the Spiritual Temple. Chen Hongyu calmly exined, I have already thought it through clearly. I only need to stay as a mere council member. This vice-chairmanship should belong to the new head of our Spiritual Temple. What? A new head? Hearing such words, the whole audience were greatly rmed. In fact, the Spiritual Temple and Knight Temple were not the same. The Spiritual Temple had always had only one head. The Spiritual Temples head shifting was an extremely big matter for the Temple Alliance, the main point being that no one had gotten any prior notice. Chen Hongyus announcement was just too sudden. Chen Hongyu dered calmly, What is strange in that? Our Spiritual Temple has always been democratically ruled, centered around a Temple Head that must have capability. My Temples Chen Yinger has already reached the ninth step of cultivation and has the Mythological Beast Domain, which is superior to my own. Moreover, shes the first Spiritual Saint Daughter of my Spiritual Temple, and has inherited the Temples divine tool Spiritual Saint Robe. She couldnt be more fitting to lead my Spiritual Temple as its head. Therefore, I naturally ought to leave her this vice-chairman position. Yesterday evening, our Spiritual Temple has already given a unified approval. Everyone seated on the rostrum could be said to have all different expressions. Long Haochen had an expression of shock, while the other heads of the Temples all cursed secretly, what a wily old fox. How could it not be so? At the time of the Temples Great Gathering, Chen Hongyus y was marvellous. Not only did he harshly oppose Long Haochen, he even questioned him in theter domain battle. And upon reaching this critical juncture, he made a full turn by directly handing the Temples ownership over to Chen Yinger. This implied that Bright Glimmer of Hope already had two major positions in the Temple Union. In the meantime, having one of their people among the vice-chairmen meant that a situation in which the six vice-chairmen would unite to impeach Long Haochen to deprive him from the chairman position would no longer be possible. This favor was simply immeasurable. Even Li Zhengzhi couldnt help but sigh secretly. How calcting! Chen Hongyus sudden abdication was not only shocking, but could also gain Bright Glimmer of Hopes favor, as well a being a move to indirectly get the Knight Temple to owe him. Truly, it was a profound move. Just after Chen Hongyu said this, he walked away from the raised stage, making a sign to Chen Yinger while walking to the side of the Spiritual Temple in an easygoing manner. Chen Yinger was baffled by her grandfathers move, but had no other choice but to go up on stage at that time! Forcing herself to walk up to the rostrum under multitudinous gazes, she took Chen Hongyus previous seat. This instant, the Assassin Temples Sheng Yue unhappily uttered, This old thing, youre really taking a step ahead of me. I had the same proposal going on: our Assassin Temples headmaster has already been reced by Caier as well. Theres no need for words to prove her ability. Everyone has seen her Domain of Purification, and moreover shes the god of deaths inheritor, bestowed with the same Spiritual Stove of Samsara as the Scion of Samsara of that time. But she has, in some sense, already surpassed thetter. Ever since taking over this inheritance in her youth, she has already been settled as our Assassin Temples sessor. Caier,e up. From now on, you are the head of the Assassin Temple and, in my stead, the candidate of the Assassin Temple for vice-chairmanship. Long Haochen was actually not so surprised about Sheng Yues proposal, after all, it was now a long time since when Sheng Yue had expressed that hed let Caier take over his position. As such, Caier also went up. It took just an instant for three ces on the rostrum to be filled with members of Bright Glimmer of Hope. Yang Haohan dered, As such, we will proceed with the meeting. Is there any other objection? As he asked that, he didnt expect for there to really be a response. The Warrior Temples head Qiu Yonghao suddenly stood up, and dered, I am also getting old and am getting no good. Under my leadership, the Warrior Temple has gotten its worst results in history out of this session of the Temples Great Gathering. I truly have no more face left to act as Temple Head. I have already discussed this matterst evening with the rest of our representatives, and today, the seat of the head of the Warrior Temple shall be left to the younger generation. I hope that under her leadership, the Warrior Temple will have a brilliant future in the union resisting demonkind. Yuanyuan, please go up. What? Me? Seeing the look on Qiu Yonghaos face as he watched her, Wang Yuanyuan couldnt help but feel overwhelmed for a moment. Qiu Yonghao heaved a smile, Who else but you could it be? Or, dont tell me you think theres someone else in our Warrior Temples younger generation that could contend with you? I have personally watched all the efforts you have put up. The world shall be left to you youngsters. Saying that, he walked out from his original seat. This moment, everyone on the rostrum could truly be said to be overwhelmed with shock. Sheng Yue passed his ce to Caier because she was originally his sessor, and great-granddaughter as well. As for Chen Hongyu, although his announcement was rather more sudden, Chen Yingers status in the Spiritual Temple was originally already pretty much the same as Caiers in the Assassin Temple. But in the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao could really be said to have no ties with Wang Yuanyuan, who had never returned to the Warrior Temple after bing a Demon Hunter! Yet his firm decision of leaving her the future of the Warrior Temples leadership at that very moment was fully unwavering. This wasnt just a sudden idea Qiu Yonghao just had. Upon Wang Yuanyuans return when she hade looking for him, as she showed a strength reaching the ninth step, Qiu Yonghao had already such thoughts. Wang Yuanyuan may possibly be a bitckingpared to Long Haochen or Caier, but absolutely no one in the Warrior Temple could match the future her. Even in Bright Glimmer of Hope, her ranking was among the top, already being a domain-wielding powerhouse. With the addition of her original status of being part of Bright Glimmer of Hope, no one was more fitting to represent the Warrior Temple. Qiu Yonghao had a great understanding of Wang Yuanyuans character, and as such, he believed that after Wang Yuanyuan seeded him as the Warrior Temples head, she would definitely contribute to its future. Under his gaze, Wang Yuanyuan stood, takingrge strides toward the rostrum. When she arrived in front of Qiu Yonghao, she was unaware her eyes had turned reddish, Grandpa Qiu, I... Qiu Yonghao heaved a smile, patting on her shoulder, No need for words. I am not doing this for you, but for the future of our Warrior Temple. I trust that you will definitely do well. After saying that, he personally pulled his previous chair, and lightly pushed Wang Yuanyuan into it. With a weight off his mind, he walked down from the tform, heading to sit among the powerhouses of the Warrior Temple. Such big changes actually urred to the chairman and vice-chairmen candidacies! Yang Haohan who was taking charge of the meeting was in great shock, but despite that, the meeting had to keep going on. Fortunately, these changes did not impact the rest of the process. The rest of the election went exceptionally smoothly. Long Haochen became the first chairman of the Temple Union without a hitch, with the vice-chairmen being Long Tianying, Li Zhengzhi, Ling Xiao, Caier, Chen Yinger, and Wang Yuanyuan. Bright Glimmer of Hope actually upied four of these major seats. The reason why no one objected was that the proposing parties were Temple Heads, as well as because of the power Bright Glimmer of Hope had disyed in the Temples Great Gathering. Long Haochen, Caier, Chen Yinger, and Wang Yuanyuan were all domain wielding powerhouses! Being under the lead of these young powerhouses would undoubtedly have a tremondously good impact on their respective Temples. After the chairman and vice-chairmen election came an election among the Six Great Temples for selecting thirty-six representatives, excluding from the count the chairman and vice-chairman. It was an eptable oue for the Temples that Long Haochen became the first chairman of the Temple Union. As such, the rest of the meeting also proceeded without a hitch. In just two hours the whole election waspleted. Yang Haohan dered, The election is over. The Union will now inform our citizens, attempting to make it so that within one month, all humankind is aware of the Unions foundation. Also, the Union has a lot work to be done. The integration of the Six Great Temples is the most pressing matter. Next, the first chairman of our Temple Union shall speak a few words for us. Long Haochen nodded to Yang Haohan before sending his greetings to the rest of the Six Great Temples. Then he dered in his limpid voice, I am honored that you elected me as your first Union Chairman. I can feel a very heavy burden on my shoulders. As Alliance Head Yang said, the election of a new Union Chairman will take ce every ten years, to take over from the previous one. Perhaps the current system of our new union is not perfect yet, but I believe that it will definitely get better and better in the future. The most important matter after the foundation of the union is to integrate the forces of our Six Templesto be a match for demonkind. Most of our next efforts will be concentrated on that. As your chairman, I can guarantee everyone that within the ten years of my office, I will definitelyunch the counterattack against demonkind and start recovering thend that has been taken away from us. My lifetime will be devoted to leading the Union to fight against darkness, and to putting an end to the six thousand year era of darkness. Chapter 726 - The Union’s Chairman (III)

Chapter 726: The Unions Chairman (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Long Haochens speech was sonorous and resounding. His voice was not a heavy one, but it carried a feeling of firmness of spirit. Hearing him, the powerhouses present from the Six Great Temples felt that yet another Holy War was going to take ce. After pausing, Long Haochen continued, I am still be young, and the Union has just been setup, so I will need everyones kind support. In the following period of time, I may not have much time to spare for handling the matters of the union, as my mates and me will have to increase our strength in the shortest time possible. The Union will be mostly handled by vice-chairman Long Tianying, vice-chairman Li Zhengzhi, vice-chairman Ling Xiao and the rest of you deputies. The rest of the conference went without a hitch. Although Long Haochen was the chairman of the union, the most important to him was still to increase his personal strength. He and the rest of Bright Glimmer of Hope were still young, and had a far higher margin for progression. Long Haochen had a few matters to handle next. The first was to strive for acquiring his own Divine Throne. Should he get a Divine Throne, that would not only be of great benefit for his cultivation, but also increase his prestige. Afterwards, came the issue of Haoyues evolution. The power of the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword made him realize the importance of Haoyues evolution. The six-headed him was already so powerful that, should he evolve to an eight-headed state, his strength would be bound to increase severalfolds. When the timees, maybe Haochen would have the ability to contend against the Demon God Emperor with Haoyues assistance. The meeting proceeded in a rather mild manner, and the integration of the Six Great Temples was the main issue they dealt with. First of all, the Six Great Temples were to dispatch a batch of powerhouses to gather in the Holy City, and all train together. The allocation was four thousand warriors, a thousand knights, and five hundred each of assassins, mages, summoners, and priests. It would be called a Unions legion, with each legion formed of, besides these seven thousand powerhouses of the Six Great Temples, an additional forty thousand for a total of close to fifty thousand. First off, two legions would be set up, under the name of Unions First Legion, and Unions Second Legion. After going through processes of unified training and integration, they would be directly thrown into the border area, with the responsibility of guarding the rather weaker Southern Mountain Pass and Exorcist Mountain Pass. Next, would get transferred other lots of powerhouses from the Six Great Temples for integration, until the original Temple Alliances Six Great Temples forces all formed entirely into the pattern of the Unions legions. The six great forts were to be temporarily guarded just as before by the six Temples separately. After all, the six forts forces were too deep-rooted. Although the establishment of the union was settled, they couldnt be too extreme either. It needed to go through a process of transformation, so that the first batch of practitioners of the Six Great Temples woulde within one year, to slowly let the concept of Six Temples be watered down. The whole process would surely need a lot of time. For the practitioners of the Six Great Temple as well as the masses to ept the new Union would require a long process. However, while under the premise of the demon threats existence, this wouldnt take too long thanks to the united joint efforts of the Six Great Temples powerhouses. As soon as the Temple Union was entirely restructured into a cohesive force, that was the time the Union nned tounch the counterattack against demonkind. The conference having ended satisfactorily, Long Haochen immediately expressed the will to leave Holy City on the next day to travel for the Knight Temple. Haoyue was the major reason why Long Haochen was so eager to return. After his transformation into the Purplish-Gold Haoyue Sword, his blood link with Haochen could be said to have risen to a new level, and in addition, Haochens further progress of his strength in this period of time also affected him to some extent. So, his evolution was now on the brink of surging out, and at anytime could possibly be impossible to suppress anymore. In hisst evolution, Haoyue encountered the powerful attacks of the Lich King, so the sess of his evolution was greatly a matter of luck. Also, based on the pattern of their encounters, almost all of Haoyues evolutions had attracted the attention of enemies, which only got stronger and stronger. As this time involved a rise from six heads to eight, it would not only take even longer, but attract the attention of still stronger enemies. Long Haochen really didnt dare lower his guard at all. With just one mistake, Haoyue could get into unredeemably desperate straits. Therefore, they had to makeplete preparations, the major point being in increasing their strength. Because of Haoyues secret ssification, Long Haochen couldnt borrow the power of the Six Great Temples, and was only able to rely on their own team. As a light user, he was clearly the member whose strength it was most important to increase. If he could obtain a Divine Throne, they would have a far better grasp on the situation. The reason why they did not immediately proceed for the Knight Temple was that they had another important matter still unresolved. After rising to the chairman of the new union, Long Haochens status becamepletely different. They no longer lived in the Knight Temple, but the highest ss of the union headquarters dwellings. Although the topmost floor of the former Temple Alliances administrative area was the smallest one, it was still over a thousand square meters in size. It should now be called the union chairmans administrative floor. The whole area was cut up into a lot of regions:rge offices, lounges, an area specialized for cultivating, a library, and botanic areas. Although there were novish decorations, that was still an elegant design overall. Let alone for just Long Haochen, even their whole Demon Hunt Squad found that space to be extremelyrge. Lets all rest here for this evening. We will depart for the Knight Temple tomorrow in the morning. Long Haochen announced to the group. Han Yu asked, Is it okay not to wait for your chairman seal to be made first, chairman? Long Haochen forced a bitter smile, Just keep calling me Captain. It feels awkward to hear you call me chairman. Bright Glimmer of Hopes original team of seven got the chairman position, three vice-chairmen seats, and the other three became council members. As for Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, they took council spots for the Knight Temple, visibly preparing ahead of time for the sake of getting their future sessors ready. One could say that this Temples Great Gatherings greatest winner was the Knight Temple. Although Haochen had be the unions chairman in his status as captain of Bright Glimmer of Hope, in the end he was also a knight! His grandfather and father were all leading figures of the Knight Temple, Divine Knights. With that, his rtionship with the Knight Temple couldnt possibly diminish with time. Also, Long Haochen aside, his teams Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were all extraordinary powerhouses of the younger generation, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang having both broken through to the ninth step of cultivation, and Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, the peak of the eighth step. Even by their strength alone, they were qualified to be designated council members from the Knight Temple. After all, they were still so young. Originally, the Mage Temples greatest advantage over the Knight Temple was thetters didnt have enough up-anding talent to rece the older generation, but this session proved that this point of view was to be entirely reviewed. The appearance of five great younger knights to smoothly take over from the older generation, raised expectations for their future. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan were rather low-key in the conference, in which the Knight Temple was once again the greatest winner. The new union could really be said to have prepared a perfectyout to convince the other Temples. The other ones all smiled in reaction to Long Haochens words. Looking at each other, they still had quite eerie feelings, unused to such new statuses. But they all knew without a doubt that their positions and duties within the union had bepletely different after going through the Temples Great Gathering as well as this conference. In particr, Long Haochen was already shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading humankind to destroy all demonkind. Long Haochen dered to Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi, Brothers Zhang, Yang, Duan. The three of you have been following Bright Glimmer of Hope for some time already. After going through the gathering, you can be considered a part of our team. As such you will also be subjected to Bright Glimmer of Hopes rules. Our Demon Hunt Squad has always followed the rule of equally splitting our contributions. Now that we are back, please hand over your contribution points. All three were in faint shock: Long Haochens demand was very simple, but, as it seemed a bit out of ce considering his broad character, all three had quite strange feelings. But they did not give it much thought, and all took out their contribution points to transfer them to Long Haochens contribution tile. In fact, these three all used to be Demon Hunt Squad Captains. Although the contribution points they had piled up over the years couldntpare to the count of Bright Glimmer of Hopes members, that was still no small count. Chen Yinger pouted in reaction, You cant bully them, Captain. Long Haochen had a grin, saying no more. Instead, Lin Xin let out augh, Howe it seems like the little hen is spreading her wings, now shes defending her man. Chen Yinger replied in great anger, Youre the hen. Has-drugs-bro, are you in for a beating? Forgot about the time you got beaten up til you were all swollen? Lin Xin let out a snort, I dont remember such a thing. Caier was already standing, just at Haochens side, So, are we going now? She had seen through Long Haochens intention, and only she knew what purpose he had when recovering the contribution points of the three of them. Long Haochen nodded, We are going now. Well be leaving tomorrow at dawn, so lets take care of these matters asap. Its already noon, but we should have enough time. Chen Yinger looked at Long Haochen with a teary face, What are you talking about Boss? We are done with the conference, so what more is there for us to do? He smiled in response, There is a ce we have not visited for a long time, and it should be quite rxing. Lets go now. The bald priest Sima Xians eyes suddenly lit, I know, the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center! Long Haochen showed Sima Xian his thumbs up, Smart. Time to go now. Chapter 727 - Bright Glimmer of Dawns Equipment Changes! (I)

Chapter 727: Bright Glimmer of Dawns Equipment Changes! (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Hearing Sima Xians statement, the whole groups eyes lit up. Right! They hadnt been to the transaction center for a very very long time now. After so many years, they had amassed millions of contribution points to use up. Captain, we... Yang Wenzhaos face turned red, clearly filled with emotions. The same went for Duan Yi and Zhang Fangfang, who immediately realized why Long Haochen had just recovered their contribution points. It was for purchasing whole new sets of equipment for the three of them. Given Long Haochens personal character, the gear he would buy them would certainly far exceed their contribution point counts. It was clearly because he was worried about them refusing the present that he had formted his words otherwise, having them hand over their contribution points as being given the same treatment as the rest of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. This way, conducting their purchases in their stead was only to be expected. Not only was it helping them, it was moreover giving them a lot of face. Long Haochen revealed a smile, Dont worry. If you take me as your captain, just listen to my arrangements. Sima Xian remarked, Boss, bring along my little flower girl. With her present, no good things will escape ours. Long Haochen showed some hesitation, Are Titled Demon Hunt Squads allowed to bring outsiders to the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center? Lin Xin remarked, Boss, youre now the chairman of the Union. Shouldnt this matter be easily resolved? Long Haochen replied with a stern look, The post of chairman of the Union is not a privilege but a responsibility. Sime Xian responded, Boss, be at ease. My little white flower is the sessor of the Alliances Great Auction House, which entertains a great trading rtionship with the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center, and is thus allowed to enter every section of the transaction center. It wont bring us any inconvenience. Dont just forsake her because of her age: shes the current chief appraiser of the Alliances Great Auction House. Im pretty sure that no one knows better than her what good things the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center has in store. Even the most newly arrived treasures wont escape her eye. Seeing his air ofcency, Wang Yuanyuanughed in response, Sima, some saliva is about to leak from the happy you. He replied without much thought, Thats some saliva of happiness. Long Haochen smiled, Alright, Sima, invite Miss Feng Linger. We are heading for the transaction center first. Lets gather in a bit. Yes, chairman. Sima Xian suddenly bowed in response before turning back at a run, and the rest couldnt help but let out a burst ofughter. They were not only back, but they had achieved their ns perfectly. A new chapter was beginning in their life. Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center. Bright Glimmer of Hopes appearance was extremely low-key. Each of them were d in a cloak, and Long Haochen did not utilize his authority as the chairman of the Union in the least, acting just like any ordinary Demon Hunt Squad as they stealthily made their way inside. The Transaction Center waspletely filled to the brim, and due to the Temples Great Gathering, many Demon Hunt Squads had chosen to attend. Most recently, that ce was really bustling with people, and filled with good things. Long Haochens crew naturally wouldnt stop at the first floor, and directly headed toward the second. Large crowds were piling up on the way, and suddenly, a youth was seen jumping up and crying out in cheer. Very good, Ive finally got my hands on it! This trivial sounding jump just happened to block the way of Long Haochens group. The youths mates who were also in the midst of excitement also contributed to blocking the way. Excuse me, please let us by. On Haochens side, Han Yus words were deliberately low sounding, just loud enough for these youths to all be able to hear. When that youth turned his head, he couldnt help but feel startled about noticing Long Haochens cloaked group. He immediately took out arge sword, which looked to be a pretty okay piece of magic equipment. Although, this assessment was based on the first floor of the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center. These youngsters looked quite fine, only somewhat young and inexperienced. When seeing this group not only cloaked, but furthermore most of them having their heads lowered, he couldnt help but reveal a look of curiosity. You are Demon Hunters too? We are the champion neer Demon Hunt Squad, number one Demon Hunt Squad of soldier grade. At the youths side, a proud sounding girl spoke. The youth shot her a re, What are you showing off about? He then apologetically nodded to Han Yu, and hurriedly moved out of the way with his group. Hearing the title of number one soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, the cloaked members of Bright Glimmer of Hope all couldnt help but raise their heads. Number one soldier grade, what a familiar appetion! Ten years ago, that was theirs. Seeing these youngsters, all sorts of feelings were welling up from their hearts. After stopping for a bit, Long Haochen smiled to these young Demon Hunters, before leading the group to the second floor. The number one soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads youngsters were quite perturbed by this smile. His smiling expression was really refreshing; like a breeze of spring wind or a ray of sunlight, its sight seemed to cleanse ones soul. So handsome! The girl who spoke previously couldnt help but blurt out. He looked a bit familiar. Another youngster said. The one at their lead suddenly began shaking, and lost his voice, They are the ones from the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope! And the one who just smiled at us was their captain Long Haochen! Didnt he just be the chairman of the Union? The announcement regarding the new Alliance was already pasted onto the walls of Holy City by this afternoon. A girl muttered, In those years, the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope seems to have also begun from being the number one soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad... Due to their cries of rm, the nearby Demon Hunters were all interested. Unfortunately, the figures of Long Haochens crew had already disappeared up the second floors steps. Everyone always headed for the topmost floors of the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center. With each floor less filled than the previous one, the top floor seemed absolutely empty. This ce was like a lounge, with afortable sofa on the side. Seeing them enter, an elder immediately stepped forward, and respectfully bowed to them. Sir Demon Hunters, may I ask what you need? Being able to make it to this floor was ample proof of their statuses, as only Titled Demon Hunt Squads were eligible to enter this floor. Long Haochen took out his cloak, and smiled to him, Greetings. Can you please help us confirm our contribution point count, and then show us all the equipment of at least epic tier that is avable? Ill be bothering you. Also, we will also need a Spatial Silver Crystal. Understood. The elder replied, withdrawing slowly. Dont forsake this old man for being just an employee: from the fluctuations of his spiritual energy, Long Haochen could perceive that his cultivation reached the eighth step. After they became a Demon Hunt Squad of titled grade, they no longer needed to search for items in there. They only needed to look through the catalogue, then choose, which was far more convenient than for the lower grade Demon Hunt Squads. Moreover, any of the transaction centers goods and equipment could be picked with priority given to the Titled Demon Hunt Squads. They were even able to make credit transactions for their purchases, although that was within a certain limit obviously. A short timeter, the old man brought a tray in front of Haochen. On the tray was a rectangr crystal. A third of a meter long, and a sixth of a meter wide, it had a clear image disyed on it. From the looks of it, that was like a miniaturized version of the magic transmission crystals that were outside the Alliances Great Stadium. Long Haochen took out the crystal, cing it in his hand. A list scrolled onto the screen, each item apanied with a small image. Long Haochen unconsciously ced his hand upon the first image, and a radiance was immediately shot out from the screen and toward the sky,ing to the clear sight of everyone present. That was a gorgeous mage gown, colored dark gold, and adorned with gold silk embroidery, with a sumptuous golden dragon design on it. The lower part of the gown was dark gold, while the upper part was the color of pure gold. The chest parts buckle was embedded with a fist-sized reddish-gold gem. The whole gown let out an orange luster full of softness. Although that was just an image projection, it looked really lifelike, just as if the real thing was standing in front of their eyes. It was also slowly rotating, its glistening glowparable with the glow of the epic tier, seemingly mesmerizing everyone in its disy of pride. The elder who had handed them the magic projector exined, This magic gown is called Glorious Holy Fires Praise. Reaching the epic tier, andpatible with light and fire mages, it favors fire mages. Holy light is supplementing its fires might, thus decreasing any fire mages use of spiritual energy by a half, while increasing its might by twenty percent and infusing holy light properties into the mages fire attacks. The gown has the attached ability Glorious Praise, usable once a day, and which requires it to be bathed under sunlight for one hour to be used. Glorious Praise will, upon use, ignite all the holy light spiritual energy within Glorious Holy Fires Praise to instantly produce a powerful Glorious Saint Fire,sting for ten minutes and getting attached to all subsequent spells. Seeing the dazzling Glorious Holy Fires Praise, all Bright Glimmer of Hope were in a daze, including Long Haochen as well. They had seen several divine tools already, but outside them, this Glorious Holy Fires Praise was the most powerful piece of equipment they had ever seen. Lin Xin immediately stood in excitement, looking excited and itching to rush into that image. As it stands, the only one among Bright Glimmer of Hope to be a fit for this magic gown was him, and moreover, he was intrinsically a lover of such shy items. Chapter 728 - Bright Glimmer of Hope’s Equipment Changes! (II)

Chapter 728: Bright Glimmer of Hopes Equipment Changes! (II)

Trantor: GravityTales # The elder continued, In some sense, this Glorious Holy Fires Praise is actually a piece of equipment that can be ced above equipment of epic tier. The gap between such epic and divine tool tiers is actually a half realm. Equipment of this grade is known as immortal grade, or subdivine tools. However, equipment of this level are almost as rare as the divine tool grade, and thus hard to find. Glorious Holy Fires Praise is made by getting sewn with a fire dragons main bone, with arge variety of rare material added to that. These materials correspond to an item reaching a divine tool, but in the process of item-making, because the material of light and fire was burning overly fiercely, it conflicted to a certain extent, thus finally not crossing this threshold. Long Haochen lightly nodded, while looking at Lin Xin on the other side, finding out that Lin Xin had his mouth wide opened, simply leaking with saliva. That my Mine... Long Haochen couldnt help butugh in spite of himself, but fortunately didnt ask him further, Senior, how much for the Glorious Holy Fires Praise? The elder made a little pause before replying, The Glorious Holy Fires Praise is set at the marked price of 2,400,000 contribution points. Hearing this count, everyone couldnt help but gasp. One should know that contribution points value is almost a hundredfold times golds value. So 2,400,000 contribution points was an astronomical number, even for a Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad. Haochen had once asked his grandfather the value of epic tier equipment, and Long Tianyings response was that, generally, epic tier equipments value would range between 50,000 and 100,000 contribution points. But he didnt think that it could cost such arge price. Over these years, the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope had umted an astronomical amount of contribution points, but based on Haochens estimate, that was just about ten million. And this time, it was for an equipment exchange on the scale of their whole team that they hade. If one item cost over two million contribution points, that was really somewhat of an unbearable cost. Senior, how many contribution points has our team umted so far? , Long Haochen asked after a short time of stupor. He had actually already decided to purchase this magic gown. As the only mage in the team, Lin Xins high explosive power and damage were his greatest assets. If he could gain a supportive spell such as Glorious Praise, this would be a great trump card when facing demonkind. When reaching the part about Bright Glimmer of Hopes contribution points, the elders expression became increasingly more respectful. He spent all year in the topmost floor of the transaction center, and didnt know much about the Alliances decision of bing the Union. But he was extremely sensible to contribution points worth, and had encountered the terrifying contribution point counts of several Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad, but this Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was definitely the most terrifying so far! On the contribution point tile was recorded the ages of Long Haochens crew, as well as their Demon Hunt Squads aplishments. When the elder had first seen their group, he believed they just looked so young because of their high cultivation, but after looking at the contribution points tiles records, he realized that these were really such youngsters! Yet, those youngsters had such an iparably shocking count of experiences and contributions. Esteemed Captain Long Haochen, your noble team has amassed a total count of 14,628,631 contribution points. Because of your identities as a Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad, you will preferentially benefit from a twenty percent discount on any of our transaction centers goods. Over fourteen million, that was really an iparably shocking number. Especially for Zhang Fangfang, Yang Wenzhao, and Duan Yi who confirmed their previous guesses from hearing it, and were greatly appreciative to Long Haochen. Added up, the contributions of the three of them would at most have reached a million or so. Butpared to the average, that was still an enormous count. This instant, Sima Xians voice came out from the entrance to the top floor, Aish, what a pretty robe. Boss, is this for me? Sima Xian could be seen bringing his little white flower toward the rest of the group. Feng Linger was d in a white gown, giving her a look really befitting her nickname of little white flower. After bowing slightly to Long Haochens group, her gazended on the Glorious Holy Fires Praises shadow. On the other side, Lin Xin cast an angry look at Sima Xian, Whats for you? This is clearly a piece of equipment for fire mages such as me. Sima Xian snorted, Save your talk. Just by the color you can tell that it has the light attribute. How could it be a thing for fire mages of your ilk? Your bro is a mage too, a priest. Lin Xin let out a sudden smile, Alright, for you then. Sima Xian was startled, Since when have you been so easy to deal with? Lin Xin unhappily responded, Even if I let you, can you even wear it? Youre a magic user? Theres only one such freak as you in the whole Union. Youre thinking of fighting in this gown you could possibly rip at anytime with your build? As long as youre willing to bring it along in the battlefield, Im letting you have it. Hearing his statement, Sima Xian felt suddenly thwarted. Indeed, he was a priest, but one wearing heavy armor! Putting this gown on, he was truly afraid it wouldnt be of much use, and the gown would only be waiting to get ruined. Long Haochen stated, Alright. You may all have a seat. Miss Feng Linger, how do you view this piece of equipment? Feng Linger said, This Glorious Holy Fires Praisees from a fire fairys remnants. Thats a rare fire gown, and at least in the History of the Union, it is a unique item. But it has a spiritual nature, so using it requires first gaining its approval. I suggest you give it a try, and decide to purchase it only if you manage to gain its approval. That elder nodded as well, Miss Feng Linger is right. I would also suggest the same. Long Haochen nodded, Alright, then I will bother you to get it for us. Then, lets keep looking through the recorded equipment. Finger moving downwards, Long Haochen chose an item, and in a sh of shadow, a blue sapphire ne appeared in the air. Feng Linger directly shook her head, This is for water mages, not fitting for you guys. We can pass it. She had a rather good understanding of the abilities of Bright Glimmer of Hopes crew, so with her here, the equipment selection was saved much trouble. Afterwards came a detailed selection, with the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center being worthy of getting called the richest ce of the whole Alliance. Even Feng Linger said that the equipment reaching at least the epic tier in this ce were severalfold more than in her Alliances Great Auction House. The whole selection went for an afternoon: divine tools wouldnt appear in this ce, because equipment of this grade would all be taken by the Temples upon appearing. They were just such rare existences. However, they still got quite a lot of good things there. In the end, they had picked over ten items of epic tier. But only three of them reached the Immortal tier. Esteemed captain Long Haochen. After discount, this equipment will require a total of 20.62 million contribution points. Your Titled grade Demon Hunt Squad can borrow up to five million contribution points, but even when adding that to your original contribution count, that is still over a million short. How about you let go of one item? Let go? How could that be done? Every single piece of equipment had been chosen for its target, and would be very hard to trade-off. Before letting Long Haochen have the time to respond, Feng Linger suddenly eximed, Elder Sun, the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope is the leading party of the new Union. Also, I am willing to vouch for them in my capacity as the owner of the Alliances Great Auction House. Just lend them a bit more. Within five years, you are sure to be clear with them. The elder she called Elder Sun replied, after shortly hesitating, I need to ask the higher-ups for instructions regarding this matter. No need to ask for instructions, just give them. A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and immediately, a familiar man came out from a room within the top floor. Seeing this person, Long Haochen couldnt help but stand in stupor, Grandpa Yang, howe youre here? The old man who had suddenly barged in was no one else but the strongest knight of the Knight Temple, known by the title of Starry Sky Knight and the name Yang Haoyu. Yang Haoyu smiled to him, Chairman, I am the one in charge of managing the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center and Mission Pagoda. However, very few know about this matter. Even the heads of the Six Great Temples are in the dark. Our Demon Hunt Squads department has always been managed by a Demon Hunter President, and only Demon Hunt Squads reaching at least the Emperor grade are qualified to know about the Demon Hunter President. As the one managing all matters rted to the Demon Hunt Squads, they can be called the greatest manager of all Demon Hunt Squads. And this generations Demon Hunter President is me. If Chairman is interested, you could well take over to be the next Demon Hunter President in charge. Reaching this part, Yang Haoyus smile became even more pronounced. Facing these youngsters before his eyes, he couldnt be any more satisfied. Especially the Knight Temples prospects, which could only be described as perfect. Now that Long Haochens identity was already no longer the same, even he had to call him Chairman when facing him. Long Haochen hurriedly shook his head, Grandpa Yang, I already have enough matters in my hand. I cant bear this position as Demon Hunter President. Moreover, you are still so young, you can very well keep this position for several hundred more years. Having you as our overseer is our Demon Huntermunitys bliss. Yang Haoyu responded, Enough. You can all pack up your things and go. Leave the rest to me, you have to return in the Knight Temple now. Dont forget about the matters I have told you; I wish you sess. Long Haochen ced his right fist on his chest, and performed a standard knight salute, Grandpa Yang, thank you for your support. We definitely wont disappoint you. Yang Haoyu showed an indifferent smile, I am not supporting you, but our future in resisting demonkind. Enchantingly glowing equipment for epic tier were brought out by the group. Amongst these, Long Haochen did not have a single one and Caier only had an inner full-body armor. Chen Yinger got a six-sided crystal ball of epic tier. And the others reaped plentiful gains. Chapter 729 - Bright Glimmer of Dawn Equipment Changes! (III)

Chapter 729: Bright Glimmer of Dawn Equipment Changes! (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Wang Yuanyuan had changed into an armor of epic tier, and got a plentiful store of spatial crystals. After thest time she had utilized that Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, the spatial crystals were all used up. With this fix-up, the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield once again glowered with the light of the epic grade, or rather, it should be the immortal grade, that would be reached upon inserting seven spatial crystals into the Gigantic Soul Shield. Lin Xins harvest was even greater. The robe Glorious Holy Fires Praise was one thing, but he also gained a Fire Dragon Crystal, an immortal grade staff drawing power from a fire dragons crystal, to bring along. Sima Xian did not choose any equipment, however. Feng Linger had expressed that she had prepared a set fitting him the best from the Alliances Great Auction House. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang did not choose any equipment either, and both had looks of determination. Although they did not express it, everyone could guess their goal. Just like Long Haochen, they were aiming for the full-set covering and defense called Divine Thrones. Not choosing any equipment from the Demon Hunt Squads Transaction Center was just like burning their boats so that they had no leeway left. Inparison, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi chose equipment for their own after a lot of hesitation. Under Long Haochens deliberate arrangements, Yang Wenzhao chose a pair of heavy swords of epic tier for his own, while Duan Yi had a shield of epic tier plus a heavy sword of epic tier. The equipment on these two alone used up over six million contribution points. The individual equipment aside, Long Haochen also purchased some team gear and medicine. Among them were two pills for improving domainprehension, to be used at the ninth step, which were for Lin Xin and Sima Xian. Bright Glimmer of Hopes original setup already had four domains out of seven, with Han Yu aiming next for a Divine Throne. As such, Haochen naturally showed some more consideration to Lin Xin and Sima Xian who already reached the ninth step. Zhang Fangfang also reached the ninth step, but was in a simr situation as Han Yu, and took the initiative of giving up in the struggle for the medicines. The team gear was to Long Haochens greatest liking. Called Domain of Instant sh, it was a ne which would look very ordinary if not for its orange glint symbolic of the epic tier. It was a simple-looking silver ne with a transparent crystal with the look of a snowke, yet giving off a very unique feel. The name of Domain of Instant sh was because this piece of equipment of epic tier had, in some sense, a domain ability attached. The user could pour mental force into it so that the Light of Instant sh would get attached onto him. Then, in times of battles, he would be able at anytime to teleport ones ally to his side in a time of battle. Light of Instant sh really reached the scope of a domain, in other words, even if the ally was trapped within a domains enemy, the teleportation ability would still work. But Light of Instant sh had some limitations as well, such as the need for eptance of its owner for them to connect. With this team gear added onto Long Haochens powerful mental force, he would be able to transfer hisrades at anytime, reinforcing his position as core of the team. One could say that this gear change had caused a qualitative leap to all Bright Glimmer of Hopes strength. Afterwards woulde the tests of approval of the Divine Throne in the Knight Temple, as well as Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yis Pure Gold Foundation Knight tests. An unprecedentedly strong Demon Hunt Squad was being born. In the evening, the group bade farewell to their rtives, and in bright morning they left Holy City alongside the rest of the contestants of this Temples Great Gathering from the Knight Temples side, proceeding for the Knight Temples Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. In the meantime, the new Union was already operating at full speed. Li Zhengzhi and Long Tianying had remained in Holy City, responsible for training the new Alliances number one and two legions. The Six Great Temples were already transferring their practitioners of all vocations to Holy City for uniting. Even part of the powerhouses that took part in the Temples Great Gathering had remained behind. As the two initial legions of the new Union, they naturally put all their strength into bing the strongest existence possible. This proved, in some way, the correctness of the decision of the Unions formation, and also further reinforced the peoples trust in the new entity. Demon race, Modu. Demon Emperor Pce. What? Long Haochen did not die? The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu grabbed his seat with strength. The throne he pinched let out cackling sounds, but didnt show any traces of damage. This throne was said to be made of the first Demon God Emperors bones, bing a symbol of the Demon God Emperors might with a high significance for demonkind. In front of the Demon God Emperor was seated a calm AhBao, his purplish ck hair draping over his shoulder. Compared to several years ago, his current appearance was far more steady. As a whole, he looked just like a sculpture, though his handsome face clearly became pale. Hearing the name of Long Haochen, his calm eyes suddenly sharpened, just like two bolts of lightning striking through the Demon Emperor Pce. Even the Demon God Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes. In five years time, AhBaos demeanor had changed totally. His character became far more introverted and very taciturn. But no one else besides the Demon God Emperor knew how much AhBao had paid in these five years. Even the one known as Berserk Demon God, Ananda, was unable topare with AhBaos hard work. Being the Demon God Emperors son, in his body flowed the Devil Dragons pure blood. Add to that his newly arisen persistence and assiduousness, and his cultivation had encountered an earth shattering change. Standing in deference, themander ck Dragons Imperial Guard Huang Shuo was making the report. Yes, Your Majesty. ording to our spies in the Temple Alliance, he not only didnt die, but furthermore led his Demon Hunt Squad in participating in the Temple Alliances Temples Great Gathering, and furthermore became champion. He showed an extremely great strength in the gathering, already mastering a domain of his own, Huang Shuo deferentially reported. AhBao listened with all his attention, seemingly calm, but unaware both his hands had clenched into fists. The Demon God Emperor furrowed his eyebrows, dering sternly, I have personally killed Long Haochen. How could he resurrect? With his heart destroyed, even the strongest human priest in existence couldnt possibly bring him back to life. Theres surely an issue with the information. Huang Shuo, mobilize all our spies in human territory. Gain more information at any cost. Hurry! Yes. Your Majesty, could that be a false trailunched by humans? Huang Shuo asked. Thats not impossible. Or else, could there be a mistake in that I killed Long Haochen personally? But why would humans resort to such a conduct? Could it be that they still havent learnt enough from the lesson they had over four years ago? Royal father, please let me make a trip to the human side. If Long Haochen is still alive, I will bring back his corpse. There was only one immense target of hatred in AhBaos heart, and that was Long Haochen who had personally crushed his confidence, as well as causing him to lose his most beloved girl. He also created an obsession in him that his strength was insufficient, and everything was a lie. So he frantically trained in these years, for the sake of getting ready to take over the Demon God Emperors position. Out of the question. There is no need to do so either. Long Haochen is certainly already dead. Huang Shuo, invite the Star Demon God, I need to have a talk with him. Yes. Huang Shuos respectful response came swiftly. AhBao asked sternly, Royal father, I dont understand, why didnt you destroy his corpse also at that time, instead of letting his teammates go off with it? He had always been confused regarding this point, not understanding the Demon God Emperors acts. Right now, the Demon God Emperor had a somewhat unsightlyplexion, as he let out a cold snort, This matter has nothing to do with you. I have my own view, so theres naturally a goal behind whatever I do. AhBao didnt speak further, and lowered his head in silence. Along with the increase of his strength, his status among demonkind also became more and more elevated. The same went for the past generations: while they were crown prince their statuses within the Devil Dragons would grow steadily, until, surpassing the previous Demon God Emperor, or upon thetters death, they seeded to the crown. In demon history, there had even been a case of theter generations Demon God Emperor killing the former one to rule. A short timeter, the Star Demon God Vassago apanied Huang Shuo back to the Demon Emperor Pce. Boss, you looking for me? Vassago respecfully bowed to the Demon God Emperor, while sending his greetings to AhBao. AhBao only made a slight polite gesture, but remained silent, not even standing up. The Demon God Emperor asked, Third brother, Huang Shuo should have told you everything. News came from humankind about Long Haochens revival. How do you view this matter? Vassago lost the smile on his face, Thats just a rumor. Dont forget, Boss, you are the one who personally killed Long Haochen. Furthermore, after he died, I immediately went to predict our races future. Although I only used the simplest Prophecy Technique, I only saw a radiant future for our race. The earlier threat is already thoroughly erased. Although I dont know why humankind would do such a thing, I can affirm that Long Haochen has already died at that time, bringing that Austin Griffin to death alongside him. Hearing Vassagos confirmation, the Demon God Emperor rxed for a bit, and nodded, Then thats for the best. Im just afraid about the case that humans would have had some extraordinary ways to bring him back to life. This time, AhBao suddenly blurted out, Third uncle, if you were to once again utilize the Great Prophecy Technique, would you be able to predict Long Haochens condition? The Demon God Emperor wrinkled his eyebrows, Dont talk drivel AhBao. Do you think Great Prophecy can be used at anytime? Its not as if you dont know for how long your third uncle has been in a weak state after utilizing Great Prophecy. Its only recently that he has recovered. Chapter 730 - Oneness of Heaven and Humanity (I)

Chapter 730: Oneness of Heaven and Humanity (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Vassago hesitated for a bit, Utilizing Great Prophecy Technique one more time is not impossible, but my vital force could possiblye to an end as a result. Also, I cannot directly make a prediction on Long Haochen, but only on the future of our race. Although he did not directly reject it, that could only be considered a rejection. The Demon God Emperor waved his hands, Third Brother, dont listen to AhBaos drivel. Since you are certain that our races fate had been altered at that time, there is no longer the need for any more prediction. Only, we have to investigate this matter, and find out what humans end goal is. AhBao dered sternly, Royal father, I dont know why, but I have the constant premonition that Long Haochen is really still alive. The Demon God Emperors look became severe, Enough! Dont be too opinionated. You are not your third uncle, how could youprehend anything in premonitions? AhBaos expression changed as he stopped arguing the matter. With great timing, Huang Shuo dered, Your Majesty, I shall immediately investigate the humans goal and the Temples Great Gatherings matters. Yeah. The Demon God Emperor nodded, then expressed to the Star Demon God, Then Third Brother, you can go back. Yes. Vassago respectfully epted, and left with Huang Shuo. The Demon God Emperor slowly stood, giving AhBao a nce, We must remember that even if there are some misgivings in your heart, it doesnt mean that you must speak them out. You especially must respect the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God. AhBao stood and joined the Demon God Emperors side, Royal Father. With your cultivation, even all the other demon gods added up are no match. Why is there a need to... The Demon God Emperor snorted coldly, You know nothing. I will naturally tell you everything when I let you seed to the position of the Demon God Emperor. All you need to know is that for demonkind, every single demon god is an important being, especially the Moon Demon and Star Demon. As long as the three of us stand on the same side, we will have the strength to calmly face any crisis. Alright, I shall go into seclusion from tomorrow onwards. The affairs of the Demon Emperor Pce shall be left to you. Oh, right, regarding the investigation about Yue Ye, has there been any news? AhBao shook his head, Not yet. She has already disappeared several years ago, and didnt leak a single trace. But I have found out that some troublemakers have been in gradual rise in our demon territory. Based on insider information, they seemed to be a grouped organization, in the midst of saving power constantly. However, they are very tightly organized, and their roots are deep. I am still investigating. Feng Xiu let out an indifferent smile, Just some agitated clowns. No need to fear. Dont pay too much attention to this matter. Your cultivation is the most major matter. Your royal father knows about your progress in the recent years. When Ie out from this seclusion, I will give you more matters to handle. Your royal father promises you that when your cultivation will surpass the Moon Emperor, the position of the Demon God Emperor will be for you. AhBaos expression changed, but he immediately lowered his head, You are in your spring right now, royal father. Our race still needs your lead. Feng Xiu calmly expressed, No need to fake it in front of me. You are right now exactly like the past me. You may go then. Remember, in this period of seclusion, you must not bother me no matter whates. Understood? Yes, AhBao said, then turned and left. Seeing his departing figure, the Demon God Emperor had a cold smile, So what about a rtion of parentage?1 In front of authority, everything is futile. Reaching this point, that handsome face full of holiness suddenly surged to his mind, causing him to unawarely be absent-minded, as he murmured, Child, are you really still alive? Right as the Demon God Emperor was still at a loss on whether Long Haochen was still alive or not, he had already led his crew to the Knight Temples headquarters in Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. With the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass in front of his eyes, he couldnt help but move with emotions. He had finally returned, not only getting to meet his mother, but also reunite with his father after a very long time! Since that year to now, it had been ten years that he had not met with his father. That year, he had personally witnessed his fathers use of the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. Now that over ten years had passed2, the time of their reunion hade, along with the time to gain a Divine Thrones approval. The six wings behind his back vanishing, Long Haochen was the first tond on the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Perhaps because of the dozen years spent reminiscing about his father, at the time of his arrival, he couldnt help but whistle to the sky for a long time. The other returning powerhouses of the Knight Temple and members of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope deliberately fell behind. The current Long Haochen was not only a decisive character for the Knight Temple, but moreover the chairman of the Union. Even if young, he had already proved himself to these knights with force. A limpid hissing sound came up, it was peaceful, and gave off a feeling of being carefree. Long Haochens six wings then vanished as he reached the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass city in a sh. Before their arrival, news of his return had arrived to the Knight Temple since long ago, and right now, fully attired knights came out on the walls of the Knight Temple. Facing Long Haochens descent, they all performed the most standard salute to wee their new union chairman. A tall man stood in the midst of the entrance, handsome and resolute of face and broad shouldered, as well as an having an iparably sharp look. When suddenly catching sight of that sudden golden figure, his look became all the more muzzy. Haochen. That golden figureing from nowhere was thrown into his bosom in a sh, as the two hugged each other. Father!! Long Haochens voice was shivering, and had a great change even in its tonality. To any man, their father would be, in their youth, their idol. Moreover, what man was Long Haochens father? Hes the owner of the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter, the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial, Long Xingyu, of the Knight Temple! A genuine outstanding talent of his generation, and an ultra powerful Retribution Knight. His father had always been Long Haochens pride. Deep in his heart, he had always been aiming and chasing after his fathers tall shadow, which drove him forward. A great part of his efforts were aimed at getting his father to acknowledge himself. Even on this day after ten yearster, when encountering his father, that childhood admiration surged out, as this new unions chairman dripped with tears. Long Haochens stature was no longer thinner than his father in the least. Father and son were both the same height, both prides of the Knight Temple. All knights saluted them respectfully, as well as the far apart Long Tianying. With three generations of the Long family being among the most talented of the Knight Temple, this Long family could be considered the family with the most authority out of the Knight Temple. Although they had never minded this point, in the hearts of knights, especially young knights, their existences were unsurpassed, true idols. Feeling Long Haochens surges of emotions, Long Xingyu, who was no longer capable of showing such pure feelings as his son, had a veryplex expression in his eyes. His ordinarily iparably steady hands shook lightly, as he continuously called out his sons name. Haochen, oh Haochen. Your father has let you down. I havent protected you well. Father, dont say that. I am your son, and without your guidance, I wouldnt be my current self. I am already grown, and should take my turn to protect you and mother. Loosening the hug, father and son confronted each other, eyes filled with emotional colors. Long Xingyu took a deep breath, casting off his tears, as if suddenly making some resolve. He watched Long Haochen with a firm look and dered, Son, no matter what may have happened in the past, you are this Long Xingyus son, my sole son. From today onwards, whoever wants to harm you will have to first tread over my corpse. This was a categorical deration, sonorous and powerful, as if it was a persuasion. Looking at his teary father, his half whitened hair, Long Haochen was once again overwhelmed with tears. That emotional self of his hadnt felt the covered pain in his fathers previous words, only thinking about after that short period of a dozen or so year that had passed, his father at the ninth step of cultivation yet seemed much older. He did not even appear much younger than his grandfather, even though at his ninth step cultivation, he shouldnt age so fast. Obviously, over these years, this father had really encountered special experiences. Taking a deep breath, Long Xingyu barely stabilized his emotions, carrying a faint smile on his face, and suddenly knocking his right fist onto his left chest, loudly dered, Auxiliary head of the Knight Temple greets the union chairman. Long Haochen nkened, before suddenlying to a realization. His identity was no longer that of chasing after his father like back in those years, at his hellish training in his youth. Now he was the first union chairman, able to represent all humankind, to represent the entirety of the human union. His right fist energetically thumping his chest issued a Bang sound, and Long Haochen no longer said any more. Right now, everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope as well as the Knight Temples powerhouses were consecutivelynding in town. Under Long Xingyus lead, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass grandiosely weed these knights triumphant return. Although the final winners of the Temples Great Gathering were those from the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, out of the Six Great Temples, the greatest winner was undoubtedly the Knight Temple. The Mage Temples assault under Li Zhengzhis lead was in the end fruitless. Even if Long Haochen and hisrades had not arisen, the final champion would still be the deeply rooted Knight Temple. After a majestic weing ceremony, Long Haochen and his father met Haochens mother. The three members of his family were finally reunited, after over ten years. Or rather, that should be a family of four. Along with Long Haochen came another inextricable part of his life, the most beloved in his heart, Caier.

Chapter 731: Oneness of Heaven and Humanity (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Bai Yue couldnt like Caier any more. Especially now that Caiers memories were back she was no longer the cold Saint Daughter of Samsara of that time, and behaved charmingly in front of the eyes of Haochens parents. In front of Long Xingyu and Bai Yues tearful faces, her own face was brimming with a smile of happiness. Looking at the son, future daughter-inw, and wife in front of his eyes, Long Xingyu suddenly turned his head, wiping once again the tears on his face. He seemed unaware his fists were clenched, with his right fist thumping his own chest with force. As tears of regret filled his eyes, he turned to face his back to Long Haochenand the eyes of all three. Arge hand came onto his shoulder, Father, whats up? Isnt our family now gathered? Let past remain as past. See, you have so much white hair already. You have to be sure to take better care of yourself, or else you wont match Mother. Long Xingyu slightly lowered his head, his voice still choking, Child, these years you have been missing must have been very painful. Long Haochen let out a chuckle, Theres no such thing! We have only had a fortunate encounter after ying the Panther Demon God. Everyone has been training in seclusion, and went in a state of deep meditation, which is why we have all taken so long toe back. Otherwise, we would rather have returned as early as possible. Long Xingyu suddenly turned his head to look at him, seeing the warmth carried onto Long Haochens smile, he could feel the purity of light from his son. You are not speaking the truth. Long Xingyu watched his son, his eyes flickering, as if wanting to say something but still bearing it in the end. Long Haochen reacted with some shock, Father, are you alright? Long Xingyu shook his head, and forced a smile on his face, Oh, youre right. Let past remain as past. We should look ahead for the future: no matter the trials you have faced, you will always be this Long Xingyus son, this thing wont ever change. Let us, parent and son, fight demonkind alongside each other. Bai Yue couldnt helpughing now, You have been repeating that Haochen is your son many times already, Xingyu. Do you still need to keep insisting? Long Xingyus expression froze as he nced at Bai Yue,plicated emotions filled his eyes. But it very rapidly came back to normal, It may be because I have not seen my son for too long. It still feels unreal even now. Bai Yue took Caiers hand, Im only concerned about when it is that Caier will really be my daughter-inw. Long Haochen and Caiers expressions reddened at the same time, and the instant their nces crossed each other, Caier immediately lowered her head yet again. Long Haochenughed gently, Father, Mother, if you both agree, lets make the trip to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. In this area, marriage proposals were toe from the parents generations. Both parties would hang out together, before seeking for their parents blessings to formally conduct their wedding. Caier hesitantly responded, Haochen, we still have a lot going on. No need to rush. Haochen smiled, That wont do, Ive had this matter in my mind for too long. And even if we dont rush, Yinger, Yuanyuan and the crew would be rushing. They are no longer as young. The new union has just formed, so there are really a lot of matters going on. But in some ways, I am just a namete as the unions chairman. The unions matters are handled under Grandfather and Temple Head Lis responsibilities. Our priority is to progress in strength in order to be able to challenge the Demon God Emperor and those peak demon powerhouses in a short future. After our currently most pressing matters are taken care of, we should have a time of tranquility. At that time we will conduct our wedding, this way it should be about time for the others to get settled as well. And when family matters are done with, we should strive for cultivating together without dy. Bai Yue nodded continuously, Even if youre even busier, you cannot neglect the major events in life. Looks like its settled, lets head over for the Exorcist Mountain Pass to propose marriage in a bit. Long Xingyus emotions having stabilized, a smile was now on his face, Speaking of which, I have not met Lingxin for years. In some meaning, Caiers father could be considered half a disciple for Long Xingyu, whom he gave quite a bit guidances in the past to. Long Haochen quietly dered, Father, I n on heading for the shrine tomorrow. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang will follow me, they are also qualified to enter. Long Xingyu shivered a bit, So hasty? Long Haochen nodded, We are in urgent need of increasing our strength through Divine Thrones. My mount is on the verge of evolving, and that will very possibly be hisst evolution. He needs me to be strong enough to help. Long Xingyu asked, Is there a need for me to dispatch helpers from the Knight Temple? Long Haochen shook his head, There is no need, we are enough by ourselves. He didnt dare let too many people know about Haoyues secret. Even Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were decided to take part after long considerations. He trusted Haoyue, but didnt dare let others know about the terrifying world he came from and his suspicious origins. Moreover, Haoyues final evolution would be extremely dangerous, in case of ident there would be danger of death, thus Haochen did not want to implicate too many. After a short pause, Long Xingyu dered, Haochen, I know that your innate talent is number one out of several thousand years of the Knight Temples History. I know clearly about your goal. But remember well, if it wont do, dont be overly forceful. Any of the Divine Thrones can bestow you with enough formidable power, it need not necessarily be the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Long Haochen responded, Father, I wont shrink back. I believe that I have the ability. If even I cannot seed, then Im afraid that the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation wont ever find an owner. Long Haochen said so smilingly. In ordinary times, his formidably peaceful endeavor became full of an iparable confidence. Right, if he turns out unable to earn the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, that would only prove that this original Divine Throne would actually be no being of light. Long Xingyus eyes glimmered, Good! I expected no less from this Long Xingyus son. Your father is expressing you his best wishes ahead of time. Long Haochen smiled, And please n out the Golden Foundation Knights trial for Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Its just a shame that even if they manage to break through the ninth step, there may not even be some Divine Thrones left for them to attempt getting picked. In case Long Haochen, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang all seed, they will have aplished the unprecedented feat of bestowing all the Knight Temples six Divine Thrones with owners. If this reallyes true, humankinds morale will reach an unprecedented peak in History. Long Xingyu smiled about that, There is no need for you to worry about that. When you all grow, our Divine Thrones will someday have to be passed on. You must have had a tiring trip to go back there, so rest early. I already have a room prepared for you. But to Long Haochens unexpectedness, Long Xingyu really had a ce prepared for Caier and him to stay but that was a single room. Ever since back when Caier had lost her memories, the two of them hadnt shared a room. First because of Caiers memory loss, and next because they were already all grown, no longer youths like in those times. Long Haochen was also afraid of being unable to control himself before they would get formally married. That was arge,fortable room. But when standing inside, Long Haochen and Caier couldnt help but blush upon looking at each other, especially when seeing only that onerge bed. Clearly, Long Xingyu and Bai Yue were thinking that they would have already crossed this boundary in their teens, and moreover, for them to want to marry so shortly, living together was very normal. Caier lowered her head and joined Long Haochens side, gently taking off his coat for him, and said in low voice, Im going to the bath. Hearing her mumbling words, Long Haochen immediately felt a difference. Scratching his head, he remained silent. Having deepened their love in those years, and gone through countless life or death experiences, their feelings already reached a fusional level. Although they felt somewhat awkward right now, they didnt have any need to exin themselves. Aften making themselves presentable in turns, and recovering a bit from tiredness, Long Haochen sat on the bedside, quite lost in thoughts. But being lost in thought in such way was a form of happiness for him. It felt very cozy to be able to sit calmly without any matter going. This brought him an indescribable feeling of bliss. Caier changed into a long nightgown, her fair hand stretched out. Joining Long Haochens side, she very naturally sat on his thigh, both arms coiling onto his neck, cutely fitting onto his chest. Haochen unconsciously held her thin waist, feeling the contact of her thigh and butt with his body. Haochen could only feel the pulse of that Heart of Eternity suddenly rise, and moreover, the fluctuations of spiritual energy grew in intensity. Over half of Caiers face was hidden behind her long hair, making her face impossible to see, but her breath was very warm as it continuously assailed Haochens neck. Her body was bing warmer and warmer, and holding her felt like holding a soft stove. Then the fire burning in Haochens heart became only more exuberant. As he softly raised her hair, Caiers blushing face came to view. Haochen then gave her intensely breathing cheeks a light kiss, and as a faint aroma seeped into his heart, a light tactile sensation came onto her heartstrings. Caier. Long Haochen called out gently. Mhm. As if unwilling to speak, Caier only let out a light sound of response. Holding one of her lily-white hands, Long Hoachen couldnt help but urge out, Look at me alright? Caier lightly pushed her head on his chest, as if for protection, but still ended up opening her eyes. Her light purple eyes were a bit hazy, herrge eyshes traced a beautiful arc, and herrge eyes with water seeping out seemingly spoke something without words.

Chapter 732: Oneness of Heaven and Humanity (III)

Trantor: GravityTales Back in those years, when we first arrived in Exorcist City, you made a little house for us then. At that time, I had promised that I would give you a warm home to live in. Although Father and Mother have already epted our marriage, I have yet to formally propose to you. I wont ever wrong you, and will make you the happiest person in this world. Saying this, Long Haochens handsome face was blushing slightly, his eyes looking hazier, as his lips made a light contact with her eyshes. Idiot. So early as back when I had put the forget-me-not ring in your hand, I had already given myself to you. As long as I can be together with you, whats feeling wronged once or twice? The path to the future against demonkind is long and broad, and I dont want to keep waiting. Im afraid that if I get old, I wont be able to give myself to you at the peak of my beauty. Caiers voice was soft as she whispered these words in Long Hoachens ears, and carried faint traces of fragrance that kept assailing Long Haochens heart. Long Haochen coiled his hand around Caiers waist, with his other hand on her supple hair, as her delicate white face was kept busy staring at him. Four eyes looked at each other, seemingly immersed in the inverted images looking at each other. Lowering his head, Long Haochen made a light contact with Caiers icy lips. A trace of satiny skin appeared in the midst of the soft fabric at her waist, along with light trembling. Upon mere contact, Long Haochen becamepletely inextricable from the situation. They had already gone through fire and water for over ten years, having gone through countless unimaginable things. Especially back in the Star Demon Pagoda, where Long Haochen became deceased, and Caier managed to bring him back to life, almost at the cost of her own life. They were no longer just two individuals, but a single thing with two hearts. Tightly hugging each other, and lightly kissing their counterpart, this instant only left satisfaction in them. Several years of love finally bloomed into a flower of extreme beauty. They were deeply connected with each other, this instantpletely engrossed in each other. He carried Caier onto the bed, their lips remaining connected from beginning to end. And as Long Haochens scorching hand carried the lightly shivering Caier, it headed below her nightgown and onto her slender legs. Warmth, apanied with a feeling of softness, only made Caiers heartbeat stronger and stronger, but as it went, she still didnt show the slightest resistance. As she slowly drew closer to her mans neck, her love and attachment poured into his heart. As the image of Caiers post-fusion spiritual stove back in the Illusory Paradise appeared in front of Long Haochen, everything else followed just naturally. In the midst of light murmurs and light whimpers, their love finally ascended to a new level. Long Haochen and Caier were unskilled, but a humans most primary desire and instincts pushed them onto each other. A soft pain and an evenrger love kept rising in the midst of this intrication, rising continuously in this mix. Finally, they passed thisst threshold of perfectbination in the midst of a strong desire. This was all a bit sudden, but also very natural. With this setup as a basis, everything went as one could expect, as they gradually discovered their respective inexperienced selves, bing increasingly familiar with each other. They had physical conditions far exceeding ordinary mortals, leading to an even more intense lovemaking. The first rays of sunlight bore through the windows in their room in Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as Long Haochen slowly awoke from slumbend. His senses were still a bit hazy, but the next instant, the scenery appearing next in front of his eyes stupefied them. The warm illumination of the sunset shone upon the quilt covering Caiers slender leg, reflecting upon the sparkling gloss. Behind the quilt, a pink gloss was visible on her skin, as if that was a pleasant lingering effect ofst night. Caier was sound asleep, carrying a dim smile on her face as teardrops of happiness attractively hung onto her cheeks. That gave Long Haochen the irresistible urge of kissing her. Softly hugging her, yet fearing to wake her up, Long Haochen felt as if his soul had reached a new level, allowing him to draw out unlimited vital force from his heart. Men that have never tasted the female body wont ever beplete. And, right now, they were already a true man and a true woman. Long Haochen looked at Caier in such way, the light in his eyes growing warmer and warmer; no matter how long passed, it still didnt feel enough. Perhaps from feeling the warmth from Long Haochens body leaning against her, their bodies became even more inseparably close. Since she changed from being a girl to a woman, the natural fragranceing out from her body became even denser, to the extent that Haochen was almost no longer able to maintain self-control. But, thinking back about her light moans of pain fromst night, he finally bore it, only softly fondling her back just like a piece of silk. Every time his hand crossed the arc traced by her enchanting waist, he couldnt help but sigh at that perfect creation. This instant, he really wished he could just melt into that chest of hers, forever gazing at her just like that, loving her dearly. Then came a hand, which had grabbed Long Haochens back at some point, carrying somenguidness and shyness as it reverberated lightly, Just go. They should all be waiting for you. I will be waiting here for your triumphant return. No matter what trial awaits, you have to keep in mind that I will be waiting for you: for you to return. In my mind, you are the most important thing that exists. Long Haochen tightened his arm, and let out a lowugh, Then, lets keep going with what we did yesterday evening when I return, alright? Caier didnt utter a sound, just pinching Haochens waist, yet was unwilling to exert strength in the end. Only pulling the opposite quilt, she used it to cover her own head with it. Long Haochens face was full of a blessed smile, as he lightly turned over the quilt. Yet he couldnt help but lightly pinch her butt before covering her properly using the quilt and dering tenderly, Wait for me toe back. Your man will definitely make it to be a Divine Knight. Half an hourter. When Long Haochen appeared in the Knight Temple, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang were already waiting. Long Xingyu Was also waiting there. Seeing Long Haochen, the three of them all looked slightly distracted. Because they discovered, with shock, that Long Haochens mental force seemed to have made a qualitative leap, as if the entirety of his basic qualities had an earth shattering change. His originally pure being of light was now brimming with a hardly descriptible vital essence. The energies from his body reached the peak, and in particr, his eyes looked even more sincere and honest, as well as kind. They gave off the feeling that Long Haochens cultivation had reached the next level just in the span of one night. But they did not understand what kind of trick that could be. Caier had changed into a mild purple colored skirt and was seated across the window. It was snowing outside, and snowkes were fluttering in the breeze in the skies,nding on the window, and slowly dissolving. A thin smile traced itself upon the corners of her mouth, as her heart was in peace and bliss. Actually, she understood very clearly that if not for her taking the initiative, Long Haochen would never have asked her at that time. But that was the timing she had chosen. Purifying force was something able to purify any impurity, and as the one chosen by the god of death, she chose this time to make him integral part of nature, so as to purify his everything a step further, while giving him the purest love. Light and purification were originally a perfect match. Her domain and Haochens formedplementary beings, and the final line of defense between the two of them having gotten crossed meant that their respective auras and domains would blend together. Caier had given herself entirely to her man, for him to now reach an unprecedented peak level. Last night, Long Haochen had only endless love in mind, until this morning, sensing the changes on his body he understood the trouble Caier took. But he said nothing, as their mutual understanding made it so that there was no longer any need for words to be exchanged by the two of them since long ago. Simrly, after sensing the moistening of Long Haochens pure light, the current Caier no longer just looked all smiles. She also had a sense of that sublimation of her light of purification. Suddenly, Caier let out a giggle, and murmured irresolutely, Shouldnt we, ahead of time... Are you all ready to go? Looking at the three youngsters sitting across from him, Long Xingyu spoke calmly. The three of them made their salutations to Long Xingyu at the same time, Senior Divine Knight, we are all ready to go. Although Long Haochen acted as the chairman of the Union, when on the verge of challenging the Divine Knights trial, he could only be treated as an ordinary knight for the Knight Temple. Long Xingyu nodded, Any Divine Knights challenge for a Divine Thrones approval is a big matter. Every rank you gain starting from the ninth step will bestow you with another chance for challenge. You should have all seen how many Holy Knights we have in the Temples Great Gatherning. But there are only three of us Divine Knights. During the course of the challenge, you may only rely on your own experiences, and just like your experiences all differ, even the same person wont ever get the same challenge twice. I can only give you one advice, believe in yourselves and advance firmly. Speaking these words, Long Xingyu abruptly stood, as a torrential demeanor gushed out from his body. Although Long Tianying, Yang Haohan and him were all three Divine Knights, Long Xingyu was actually the most powerful of these three, due to being the only Retribution Knight, and moreover, the owner of the Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. Follow me. Long Xingyumanded the three straight toward the depths of the main hall. In there were the statues of the three Divine Thrones. Right, just statues, but even so, when Long Haochens three were in front of the Six Divine Thrones, they couldnt help but feel a mystifying feeling surge out. Chapter 733 - A Divine Throne’s Rejection? (I)

Chapter 733: A Divine Thrones Rejection? (I)

Trantor: GravityTales Facing the six Divine Thrones sculptures, Long Haochens gaze was directed at the central one. Compared to the others, that was the least shy one. Entirely deep ck, its tall seat back appeared simple yet steady, giving off a faint feeling of broadness. On the seat back were carved inscriptions of the sun, moon, stars, paintings of birds, flowers, and various vegetations. It all looked meticulous, yet appeared crowded and disorderly. With this, its ckened part appeared all the more inconspicuous. But, around it were another five dazzling Divine Thrones. The one that had left on Long Haochen the deepest impression was naturally his fathers Divine Throne of Doom and ughter. Countless gems were ostentatiously iid behind. In its faintest innerpart, one could see a buddhas silhouette. Mighty and dignified, it could even be said to emit a sense of pressure. On the peak of its back, a semi-circr scarlet colored gem was visible, appearing just like the sun overlooking the earth, letting off a might as in dooms day. On what looked like the center of the chest on the front of the throne, the most dazzling part was a reddish-gold rhombus gem. Every corner of it was full of splendor. A bright luminescence shone upon it all around. Two male lions sculptures were crawling in guard on the broad throne in roaring positions, and countless elegant decorative designs appeared to be flowing throughout the back of the chair. This statue looked simply the same as Long Xingyus Divine Throne, only in a much shrunken version. Looking at it, Long Haochen couldnt help but stare ckly. Yet such a dazzling Divine Throne of Doom and ughter could only serve as a prop for that central pitch-ck Divine Throne. Four other Divine Thrones were also surrounding that ck one. Divine Throne of Dread and Pain. Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy. Divine Throne of Knowledge and Vitality. Divine Throne of Order and Law. Every one of these five great Divine Thrones were dazzling, but they appeared at most only unremarkable when surrounding that central one Divine Throne. Under their props, that pitch-ck Divine Throne gave off a supreme august and sense of mystery. Just like sheer darkness, it drew out Long Haochens gaze. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang were in different situations from Long Haochens. Their gazes were directed at one respective Divine Throne for each of the two. Their expressions also froze. Long Xingyu, standing at the side, did not disturb them. As an experienced person, he understood everything. Every Holy Knight would, upon arrival, there, be attracted by these throne sculptures. And the first Divine Throne drawing their eye would be their target of choice. Of course, that was due to the Divine Thrones themselves, as the sculptures were no target of attraction. Truly the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation! When Long Xingyu caught sight of his sons gaze getting caught by that pitch-ck Divine Throne, he couldnt help but sigh secretly. Ever since the start of the dark era and the founding of the Knight Temple, only five people had managed to be qualified to take the challenge of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, but they had all without an exception failed. Thest time was the Starry Sky Holy Knight Yang Haoyus challenge. Getting the qualifications to take the challenge was already ample proof of their talent and ability. As for Long Haochen, the sixth challenger of this honor Would he seed? Long Xingyu unawarely became tense upon this thought. Long Haochens group of three stood dull for close to half an hours time, gradually able to perceive streams of holy air rising around them. Above these three Divine Thrones came off a faintly discernible brilliant glint. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation that Long Haochen was facing was lit by a soft white light of softness; it was very faint inded. An indistinct connection started to form in the deepest part of Long Haochens soul, and a fantastic feeling spread to him, as if something was calling out for his name. Long Haochen stood calm and unmoving, only going off to calmly sense the changes on this aura. His foremost feeling was peace, an iparable peace. In a calm devoid of any distracting feelings, it seemed to be challenging Long Haochens tolerance and immovability, while calmly connecting to him. What approached Long Haochens senses was a boundlessness, an unbordered broadness. Such a feeling could only be matched by when he had seen Caier standing in that boundless night sky back in the Tower of Eternity. Only, while the starry skies do have a limit, the auraing out from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation seemed devoid of the slightest boundary. Suddenly, a bright light shone upon the Divine Throne of Terror and Sadness. As it swept forward, Han Yus body disappeared the next instant. These six Divine Thrones sculptures were originally projections of the genuine Divine Thrones. Only by getting their approval shall one be able to get started in their trials process. But some Holy Knights actually dont even get any opportunity to even take the trial. Just when Han Yu had disappeared, another sh of light followed through, this time from the Divine Throne of Knowledge and Vigor, following which Zhang Fangfang also disappeared. Only Long Haochen stood at the same ce, unmoving and still sensing calmly the aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Long Xingyu, still standing on the side, couldnt help but furrow his eyebrows. He knew very clearly that the earlier one would get the qualifications to be tested by a Divine Throne, the higher his affinity with the Divine Throne would be. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang reached speeds that hardly differed from the young him from that time, which was to say that they were likely to be approved by their Divine Throne. But how could Long Haochen, whose domain reached the supreme level, as well as having a Light God Physique, still have yet to start with his own trial? Could the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation really not be approving of him? Long Haochen was currently sunk deep into his own world, able to perceive that tranquil force in the midst of linking with his aura. But mysteriously, it seemed to be rejecting something, as a very ufortable feeling started to surge into Long Haochens body. An image started to form in Long Haochens brain. This white, boundless world, contained a golden dazzling light. Contrasting with the surrounding tints of white, it seemed as if possibly about to dissolve at anytime. But in the midst of this golden light, came two other colors, one of which Long Haochen was very familiar with, the purplish gold exclusive to Haoyues being. Chapter 734 - The Divine Throne’s Rejection? (II)

Chapter 734: The Divine Thrones Rejection? (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Although in the midst an expense of boundless white, those purplish gold rays gave off an aloof and remote feel, and in the confrontation, none of them seemed really able to suppress the other. It only came down to a continuous sh. This was Haoyues power, and was the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation rejecting that? Long Haochen was secretly overwhelmed with shock. If things were really so, what kind of choice would thate down for him to? Deep inside, Long Haochen started to struggle. Haoyue was hispanion, a blood-boundpanion. Discarding Haoyue woulde down to causing his death. And the Divine Throne was a must in his eyes: as the Unions chairman and unprecedented knight of ultimate gifts, being unable to gain the Divine Thrones approval would be a major blow to both his growth and prestige within the Union. Out of the two, which one to choose? Furthermore, there was not only that purplish-golden rays rejection, but also another dark gold-colored gloss appeared within that golden glow. Compared to the purpish-gold radiance, this dark gold radiance was far less eye-catching, but it simrly connected to the golden light originating from Long Haochen himself. And from its appearance, its intensity was not much less than the purplish-golden light. The purplish-gold originating from Haoyue was part of the blood connection between them, a bloodlines power. But what was this dark gold? If that was also a bloodlines power, since when could it be that he had it? This dark gold was not representative of darkness, but it also gave off a feeling of extreme power. Moreover, a power that mainly came from the depths of Long Haochens soul, in other words, intricately rted to his very soulforce. Long Haochen had never had an irresolute character, and thus made up his choice after short considerations. He chose Haoyue. If a choice had to be made between the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and Haoyue, he would still choose thetter. Haoyue was not only his mountpanion, but a good brother to Haochen. Even if the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was a supra divine tool, that was still no more than a divine tool. When weighing the bnce between a brother or a divine tool, the choice was not difficult at all in Haochens mind. Even if that meant that he would get no Divine Throne, he would absolutely not give up on Haoyue. In over ten years, he had personally seen Haoyues growth bit after bit, during which time Haoyue saved his life not only once or twice. They depended on each other, and helped each other to reach their current achievements. Haoyue was his good brother, goodpanion, and would in no circumstances discard Haochen. This firm belief suddenly started to fluctuate in the midst of thisnd of fantasy. That purplish-gold radiance erged, and although its volume was no match for the white light, its aura of loftiness and pride became even more domineering. Even the dark gold radiance followed suit, as if following Long Haochens state of mind, wthout any automonous features of its own. Under Long Haochens firm belief, it appeared especially tenacious, supporting Haoyue in resisting the white light. What should be a little sh became a mutual resistance. And it seemed that Haochen was drawing further and further from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Long Xingyus anxiety became more and more intense. After two hours passed, Long Haochens trial had still yet to begin. After such a long time, even if it had already started, then perhaps he... For a moment, Long Xingyus heart became a total mess. Furthermore, he came to notice that the white light drifting from the statue representing Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was getting more and more intense, yet faintly gave off an invading feel. And on Long Haochens forehead, nine lines of purplish gold came to view, faintly giving off an aura of devastation, as if withstanding that Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Haochen, ah, Haochen, just what are you doing? But no matter how worried Long Xingyu was, there was nothing he could do at all. Earning a Divine Thrones approval could only be done by ones own efforts, so he could only stand there looking on in anxiety. Time passed very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had already been one day. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfangs trials were unknown, but contrarywise Long Xingyu was at ease for them, as after one would get taken into a Divine Thrones trial, the longer itsted, the higher their chances. As for Long Haochen, maybe he no longer had an opportunity. Long Xingyu actually had already resolved himself, and as time passed, the purplish-gold color expending from Long Haochens forehead and confronting the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation started to get more and more intense. Although that purplish-golden radiance could amazingly stand its ground against the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, this also meant that it was only bing harder for Long Haochen to gain the acknowledgement of the Divine Throne in front of him. His Heart of Eternity was pulsing quietly, and the holy aura dispersed around him was very clean. That kind of purity even brought continuous sensations of insight to Long Xingyu who was staying nearby . Only, his too-nervous self had no thoughts of grasping these insights. If that wont do just end it. When Long Haochen would break through the second rank of ninth step to the third, there should be a chance. Long Xingyu gasped secretly, unaware of why Long Haochen was supporting that purplish golden radiance with such dedication. Based on his own experience, should Long Haochen just consent to discard that purplish-gold radiances power, the Divine Thrones power would be released, thus initiating Long Haochens trial. In the time of one day, two days, three days, Long Haochen still didnt move in the least, resisting again and again. By chance, that was only his aura and thoughts resisting, and not spiritual energy. Otherwise, given the folklore behind the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, although Long Haochens cultivation was not weak, that was still not enough for him to resist in any way. Long Haochen felt he was in a special mode. These three days were not wasted: in his mind, he felt his soul continuously sublimating in the confrontation, as that aura of dark gold blended in, continusouly integrating itself into his soul. This was a wonderful feeling, just like when he had originally undergone his awakening of light. Only, it didnt give off that kind of feeling of connection with the Goddess of Light. Long Haochen knew that perhaps there was no way he would obtain acknowledgement from the Divine Throne, but his soul could make an evolution, thus achieving progress in the training of soulforce which was an area no one had ever studied. Chapter 735 - The Trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (I)

Chapter 735: The Trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had broad and boundless power. Appearing all-embracing, it was yet unmatchably imposing. Long Haochens ultimate Light God physique scouted its moodiness, and twined along it, exploring it. This was the first trial the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was giving him. But against all expectations, in the process of this trial, that dark gold radiance was affected by Haoyue and Long Haochens beings. Long Haochens faith never wavered, but the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation seemed to bring continuous changes to his senses. At the start, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation gave off a feeling of total inhibition, engulfing intentions. It was as if all the impurities outside the light within Long Haochens body was getting dispelled, but as time passed, these intentions quietly began to shift, as Long Haochen himself was not in the least aware of it. In front of the boundless presence of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Haoyue still did not shrink back at all. No matter how the boundless power came in, Haoyue kept his proud heads lifted, with an air of nobility and coldness, and full of a terrifying destructiveness. Both parties confronted each other, with none of the two parties able to cope with the other one. If someone truly knew about the origins of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, and were to witness this scene, that person would certainly be in extreme shock. Such a pure sh of intentions was simply reaching a whole other ne as they were both trying to demonstrate their lordship to each other. When confronting the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, even Long Haochens light god physique waspletely suppressed, to the extent that the dark golden force in his body and soul were gradually disappearing. This was a gap of the highest level. But Haoyue was not the same; his power seemed in no way inferior to the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations. It was at no disadvantage from beginning to end in the mutual shes, but was simrly unable to deal with the thrones intent. The strife unexpectedly came to a gradualpromise. Haoyues purplish-gold gradually shrunk within the parts of light from Long Haochens body, and the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations white light was less insistent. Within Long Haochens throbbing Heart of Eternity, the divine pellet born from his breakthrough to the ninth step had quietly be colored purplish-gold. This color symbolizes that bloodline force of Haoyues,pletely integrated into his spiritual pellet. As the Heart of Eternity kept pulsing, this force seemed to be transmitted over and over to him. A soft white color gradually filled Long Haochens whole body, and on the fourth day of his confrontation with the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Haochens body disappeared in a sh of white light. Long Xingyu had originally given up all hope, so his sons sudden breakthrough caused him a terrible fright. These four days of standing guard got him into a tired state, his body swaying slightly as his eyes grew heavy at once. Can Haochen seed? He could get evaluated only after a whole four days, making him an unprecedented case among all Holy Knights attempting to receive a Divine Throne. All the geniuses that had evere for that purpose had all without exception failed. Long Xingyu took a deep breath, secretly sighing in relief for his son. Wishing you sess. He knew clearly that, failing to obtain the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations approval would be an enormous blow for Long Haochen. He was already on the spotlight as the Unions chairman, but being so young, proving himself by disying sufficient strength was a must for him to gain a higher approval. The status as Divine Knight was undoubtedly the best persuasive force, and in contrast, being unsessful would only mean his talent and ability were not enough to gain a Divine Thrones approval! This would raise doubts in arge majority of the people. No matter how worried Long Xingyu was, all he could now do was pray. The trial for the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had formerly been failed and narrated to Haochen by Yang Haoyu, so whether Long Haochen could seed would now only depend on himself. The instant the white light from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation wrapped around Long Haochen, he woke up from hisnd of fantasy. As the previous pressure disappeared entirely, he felt like his body was soaked in warm water, causing an indescribable feeling of coziness. His tempered soul gained the best rest through this feeling, as if melting into his body, as it entered a short state of nkness and slumber. After some time passed, the surroundings grew back to getting clearer. A peaceful feeling sobered Long Haochen, waking him up. As a clear chirping sound spreading to his ears, Haochen gradually came back to his senses. With shock, he found himself in a forest, surrounded with tall trees with man-sized shrubs all around. What is this ce? Long Haochen looked all around with a feeling of puzzlement. The coziness in his body maintained his body in its peak state, and the progress of his soul sharply amplified his perception. A rich vitality could be sensed all around. The most primitive nature, devoid of the slightest feeling of threat, surrounded them. A boundless aura of life gently poured itself into his senses. Long Haochen had an extremely firm willpower, and naturally wouldnt suddenly lose himself due to the changes in the environment. After shortly gazing coldly at the surroundings, his frame of mind returned to normal as well. In a sh of light, the six wings on his back spread out as he attempted tomunicate with Haoyue. The connection was achieved without a doubt, but to his surprise, Haoyue had actually rejected his summon for the very first time, and moreover sent emotions of good-luck wishes into his mind. Is he encouraging me to take the trial on my own? Just what could the trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation be? In this pure great nature, Long Haochen at least did not have the slightest idea as of now. As such, he thought he may as well just look around. Having such thoughts, he pped the wings on his back, his body drifted upwards, and flying off a treetop in the blink of an eye, rose to the skies. Flying this way, Long Haochen felt shock as he discovered an incredibly magnificent scenery unfolding in front of him. When gazing into the distance, everything seemed all green. Those sky-tall trees that had been growing for who-knows-how-long upied all the space. Not the slightest bit of mud or rock came into sight: only an endless vegetation which spread out the distance, giving off the same feeling as when watching an ocean. Long Haochen pped his wings, propelling himself forward at a slow speed, as his senses stretched out, sensing everything down below. Since the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had let him in, his trial should have already started. He did not know whether he would be able toplete it or not, but knew that he was already giving his utmost. As he flew forward, a screech spread suddenly to his senses. Given Long Haochens current cultivation prospects, there should normally be no movement that could possibly escape his scouting in a range of fifty kilometers. That screech sounded human, yet seemed to contain a feeling of absolute terror. Long Haochen almost unconsciously pped the six wings on his back. His flying speed was originally able to reach an already extremely terrifying level, adding to that the boost of Lightspeed sh made him cross a stretch of five kilometers in the blink of an eye, to find urately the origin of the screeching sound. Right when he was on the verge of finding his target, he happened to notice a white figure below a treetop, heading for his direction. Without giving him the time to identify the white figure, another immense figure came rushing out, and countless tree leaves fell, as its terrifying oppressive presence forced a choking feeling into Long Haochen. What kind of a creature could that be? All that came to sight was a bare upper-body across the treetops, before disappearing from Long Haochens line of sight, appearing just like a somber peaking from the thickets. Those thick hands appeared like water jars, forming fists with their immense palms, matching even giant hammers. Such a pair of palms rushed out at that white figure in front of him, which became entrapped within in the blink of an eye. This very instant, all the surroundings suddenly became static. Even that white figure that was ejected to the sky, as well as the terrifying magical beast in pursuit of her stopped in mid-air. Long Haochen heard a totally emotionless voice spreading to him, The trial has started. Rescue the female human Sisi, and protect her. The trial will terminate upon failure. This voice came very fast, and in the meantime, Long Haochen took the chance to take a look at the girl d fully in white. Right now, her long ck hair was in a total mess, her gaze full of terror. But it didnt change the fact she had a stunning figure, looking in her twenties, her appearance actually bearing some resemnce with Caiers. The sound came to an end, and the surroundings that had came to a stop suddenly resumed their movement. That white-d girl Sisi headed toward Long Haochens side in a sh, as that pair of extremely terrifying hands came straight at her, with Long Haochen right in the middle. Facing such a situation, Long Haochen didnt panic in the slightest. Since the trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had already gotten started, and although the specifics were somewhat different from the Starry Sky Divine Knight Yang Haoyus stories, the global situation was still quite a bit simr. Some time back, in Holy City, Yang Haoyue had narrated to him some specific details regarding the trial given by the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Yang Haoyu had told him that the trial was not just a simple battle, but a series of tests. On the premise of being a qualified Holy Knight, only when the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation gives its approval will the tested person be enabled to enter its world to undergo the trial. Chapter 736 - The Trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (II)

Chapter 736: The Trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (II)

Trantor: GravityTales The trial was formed of a series of missions, and only bypleting all of them would one have the possibility of gaining the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. As for the missions involved, ording to the records of the Knight Temples elders and Yang Haoyus personal experience, each trial differed from every other, but themon part was that each time involved a series of missions, chained each to the others and not allowing of the slightest mistake, as one would be followed by the trials failure, getting the one involved transported back. All Yang Haoyus attempts had ended in failure. His warning to Long Haochen was that during the trial given by this Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the biggest challenge was absolutely not the test of strength, but the test of heart and humanly attributes. His two failures were on this aspect. And, thest time was when he was the closest to that point, only to be finally informed by the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation that his light was not pure enough, and had created too many spiritual bonds. Thus he would be rejected forever. These spiritual bonds referred to the Starry Sky Mythological Beast. But back then, after Yang Haoyu had pondered over and over again, he still chose not to forsake the Starry Sky Mythological Beast. Not only were the two of them deeply attached to each other, even if he had forsaken the Starry Sky Mythological Beast, that would perhaps only make the final trial even harder toplete. He told Long Haochen to learn from him, not topromise in his qualifications in the initial determinations, but insist in showing all he has. Back then, maybe Yang had not been persevering enough, because after rejecting him in the end, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had told him if you dont even have the conviction to insist, how can you even gain approval and reach terms? This, in addition, was the reason why Long Haochen had not moved in the slightest in those previous four days, and had allowed the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to exert such an immense pressure without batting an eye. By insisting on showing his own dedication, as expected, the Divine Throne was really thepromising side. Although Haoyue had alsopromised on this aspect, the fact that Haoyues bloodline force within Haochens body did not stop the trial from getting started implied that the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation did not necessarily require a body of absolute purity. These thoughts only briefly shed through Long Haochens mind, as a multicolored gold spread out in front of him, forming an immense curtain of light to block the bash from that pair of immense hands. With arge Bang! Long Haochen felt as if smashed by a mountain. His body was propelled through the air, and although he did not sustain wounds, his Heart of Eternity instantly increased its throbbing speed by threefold. While his body was sted back, his right hand brushed through the air at his side, just so as to sweep across that girls waist, and carried her away with him in the midst of a screech. In the meantime, the bodynded down in the forest below, and because that massive figure was alreadypletely exposed above the treetop, Long Haochen understood that dealing with it in the air was no wise choice. This was a kind of monster resembling an gori. Only, it had a pair of immense wings grown on its back. Its thick and solid body measured over twenty meters, and its shoulders were over ten meters broad. This was also why he had brought such immense shock to Long Haochen before. Those terrifyingly thick hands were its absolute best weapons. His dark gold hairs were even a match for armors of epic tier. As its fierce bloody-red colored eyes gazed at Long Haochen, two blood-colored lights shot out from his eyes, heading straight for Long Haochen. The multicolored golden curtain vanished for a slight moment before it shrank for a bit, protecting Long Haochen and the white-d girl Sisi in its midst. A terrible scorching feeling of burns instantly spread to the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, as a vast area of the surrounding shrubs turned into ashes. The tyrannical impact force used up arge amount of Long Haochens spiritual energy, and furthermore it immediately pushed his body away into the woods. What powerful strength! This immense goris attack force caused Long Haochen deep shock. He even bore some doubts toward Yang Haoyus judgment. Didnt he say that in the trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the opponent wouldnt be too strong? But, this gori... From these two collisions, Long Haochen could clearly confirm that this was a magical beast of the tenth rank, and not an ordinary one. This offensive power proved a spiritual energy over two hundred thousand, and more terrifyingly, its immense physical power in no way fell short of its spiritual energy. A figure shed as Long Haochen returned into the woods, and the gori appeared out of nowhere, those thick forest trees breaking one after another, appearing like frail chopsticks. The goris pair of giant palms formed a fist, directly smashing toward Long Haochen. As these fists smashed down, an intense red light surfaced atop Haochen. The strong fire essence even caused the air to twist. Long Haochen knew that he couldnt afford to remain in such a passive position, otherwise his bodys tiredness would only increase. While thinking so, he flung his right hand backward with strength, and shouted out, Just leave first! Battling with a person on his back undoubtedly greatly affected his battle performance. While throwing Sisi from his back, he went to face off against the goris two descending hands. Two divine swords instantly appeared in Long Haochens hands. The Aria of the Goddess of Light pointed to the sky, and on Long Haochens back an immense golden figure rose: Light Gods Descent. A boundless sword intent spread through arge beam in the sky, rushing straight toward the goris wrists. In the meantime, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was also waved forward, and a three meter long golden sword struck through, aiming to send the goris head flying. In his understanding of sword intent, Long Haochens current prowess simply reached number one of the continent. Relying on his sword intents might, he had defeated countless enemies above him in cultivation. The terror of sword intenty in its perfect integration of the swords soul and power. In particr, after Long Haochens souls promotion, no matter whether in perception or global strength, he had made some progress. With a sonorous bang, the sword intent expelled from the Aria of the Goddess of Light hit the goris wrist, although the attack stll kept going. Only, thetter burst out with a painful cry. In the meantime, its eyes once again shot out two red streaks of light, crushing Haochens sword beam. Long Haochens figure shed, his spiritual cavities avoiding the goris fists. However, he had still underestimated this goris strength. With arge explosion in the air, its fists smashed onto the ground, and terrifying earthquakes instantly pounded against Long Haochens body, causing it to be shot away like a little rock. A severe vibrating force caused the internal spiritual energy within Long Haochens body to stagnate, his head filling with instant dizziness. This actually even carried seismic waves-like effects? Long Haochen was a bit dumbfounded, but his fighting experience proved its worth, as the Heart of Eternity within his chest throbbed rapidly. Pushing his hands onto each other, the two divine swords made one, turning into the Sword of Life and Creation. After the goris fists pounded a deep hole into the ground, its massive body suddenly jumped out, rushing straight toward Long Haochen. A terrifying me surged out from its body, appearing gold-red in color. The red-hot streams of air emanating from it turned arge area of the surrounding nts into ashes. Right this instant an ice-blue colored water dragon suddenly came out, heading at the gori, and simply intercepting it in midair. The water dragon and the me emanating from the gori caused bursts of white mist, and as the goris body was restricted, its snarls gained even more in fierceness. Long Haochen was slightly distracted. He had made an appropriate response, and was the one benefitting the most from this adjustment period. Turning his head, he caught sight of the young girl Sisi waving an ice-blue staff and continuously chanting. Catching his nce, she responded with a light nod. Long Haochen also lowered his head toward her, and immediately rushed out. Previously, all his sword intent did to the gori was to leave a mark on its wrists. This goris hairs formed the greatest armor, and it had astonishing defense. In strength, this gori didnt utilize the power of his domain, but its ability was absolutely describable as terrifying. Both hands grasping into the Sword of Life and Creation, the golden figure behind Long Haochens back turned even more brilliant. An intense gold instantly filled the air, spreading to the surroundings as it formed Light God Domain. In absolute power, that goris physical prowess added to his spiritual energy ced himpletely above Long Haochen. Only by relying on the domains force could he stand a chance against the gori. Upon use of the Light God Domain, Long Haochen shockingly found out that his domain had made considerable progress. This improvement stemmed from his control of the domain: it went from something originally somewhat hard to control to a rxed feat. His perception of all light became many times higher than before. In this world full of light essence, light was in no waycking. The pure light essence, under the appeal of the Light God Domain, immediately gushed toward Long Haochen like a river. A dim smile surfaced on his face, and while the Light God Domain was in the midst of expanding, it epassed Sisi as well as that gori. Sisi found out with shock that her own spiritual energy instantly felt as if boundless. That light of extreme purity actually changed into the water essence characteristic of her body. Her use of magic didnt change, but was turned into a dual elemental water and light magic. And moreover, there was no longer need for worry about the supply of spiritual energy. Chapter 737 - The Trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (III)

Chapter 737: The Trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (III)

Trantor: GravityTales The gori gave off a whole other kind of feeling. It had lost track of Long Haochen and the young girl Sisi, as a sticky light essence covered its body from all over. Not only did it give him a kind of slowed feeling, more rmingly, its bodys originally fiery red colored radiance dimmedpletely, and even its hairs which should be reflecting dark gold light had lost their color, leaving a sight of all ck. Lights assimtion. All forces rted to light would get sucked into the Light God Domain. Long Haochens current disy was a domains most basic power, amplification and weakening. The divine sword in his hand was slowly raised. Now Long Haochen was attempting to see what boundary his domains power could now reach. A soft multicolored light slowly came off from the united divine swords, a light full of aura of life, and, once in contact with Long Haochens Light God Domain, immediately produced a chain reaction. Back in the Temples Great Gathering, Long Haochens battle with Yang Haoyu had made use of an evolution of the Light God Domain. But at that time, he was totally pressured by the opponent,pletely unable to exert control over his evolved domain. This time was not the same. Long Haochen was finding out with shock that this natural world full of aura of life was, after the evolution of his domain, causing its original intense gold color to disappear. All that was left was only a dim multicolored gloss, but that gloss was epassing all the surrounding creatures. That was really a splendid feeling. All the vegetation, and even the sky and nature, all became extensions of his spiritual energy and emotional force. He controlled their very lives. Long Haochens eyes shrank, and immediately, two trees that the nearing gori was approaching grew out, bing multicolored. Their thick branches immediately engulfed that gori. While taking control over life, Long Haochen was in focusing deeply. This instant, he felt the bottleneck that had been limiting him getting split abruptly as the suppressed spiritual energy gushed out at once. The multicolored gold surrounding his body became even more intense andpacted in the process. Within the Heart of Eternity, the spiritual pellet which was turned purplish gold by Haoyues blood force changed in the midst of thetters throbbing, growingrger by threefold in just the blink of an eye. While cultivating ones spiritual pellet, everyone would need different methods and encounter different limitations. But, without exception, a change in the spiritual pellet would always mean a qualitative rise. Right, in this world brimming with life, after his souls sublimation, Long Haochen had finallypleted his breakthrough from the second rank, formally reaching the third rank of the ninth step. The domains power instantly spread outwards, covering an area twice that which was upied before his breakthrough. Controlling life, what a powerful ability that was! That gori had already shattered the two trees, but waspletely bound by that multicolored golden light. Long Haochen had a dim smile on his face. Pointing his right hand to that gori, he immediately shot two multicolored light rays from his eyes, striking at that goris eyes. The goris body shook violently, as the surrounding multicolored light flocked toward his body. The goris body kept shaking uninterruptedly, a gold-red light gushing out from its body in the meantime, rejecting the multicolored gold. However, it was just too weakpared to this post-evolution Light God Domain. Only a domain could stand in front of a domain. This goris original strength should have beenparable to powerhouse at the third rank of the ninth step, but its wy in theck of a domains boost. Without such a support, it had no control over the exterior world, and in front of a domain wielding powerhouse, pure strength was not of too much use. The goris struggle started to get weaker and weaker, and gradually, its body stopped shaking, as a look of terror gradually filled its eyes. Its massive body was shrunken gradually, starting from a small mountains size it got smaller and smaller... A short whileter, the previously unprecedented gori was all of a sudden under one meter tall, looking like a mini, yet pretty, version. Right now, it had none of its previous ferocity and its eyes filled with an expression of loss along with a tinge of grievance. Right, this was the power of control over life. Long Haochen had directly turned it back to infancy. It had lost not only its age, but also its strength! Although this was a state that could only be maintained within Haochens domain, it was enough in the course of a battle. What threat could there be in facing such a miniaturized little guy for Long Haochen? Haochen lifted his right arm, looking at the Sword of Life and Creation, a trace of regret revealing itself on his face. This was because this divine swording from the fusion of the Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was gradually falling short of his cultivation, especially noticeablepared to the might disyed by the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword. He came to understand that although the Sword of Life and Creation was a good weapon, it was in the end no genuine divine tool. In some meaning, it could only be considered a weapon of Immortal grade at the nearest level to divine tool. But such a weapon was insufficient to sustain Long Haochens future growth. This was also why he gave such importance to gaining the approval of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Going from second to third rank, and thoroughlypleting his domains first evolution, now he would no longer need to use the Sword of Life and Creation as an intermediary to achieve that again. Even so, this was a pair of divine swords he would forever treasure, even if they should only be kept for collection in the future. A soft multicolored htion was emitted from the white d girl Sisi at Long Haochens side. After escaping danger, Sisi was in a much better mood, looking at Long Haochen with a look full of curiosity. Hello Sir. Thank you for saving my life. Sisi bowed to Long Haochen. Her bearing looked no different from the continents mages. Now far calmer than before, that irresistible beauty resembling Caier to some extent, and moreover no inferior to thetter in her looks, gave off the feeling of brimming with life. This was a great fit with Long Haochens post evolution Light God Domain, to the extent that she also got an immense boost from the domain. From Sisis previous intervention, Long Haochen could feel that she was a mage of the eighth step. Such a mage looking only around twenty in age would definitely be a genius among geniuses in the continent. Hello. I just happened to be here at the right time. Why has this gori been after you? Long Haochen asked confusedly. Hearing this question, Sisis eyes immediately revealed an expression of sadness, and teardrops fell uncontrobly. That tear-stained peerless beauty really made a touching sight! In front of Long Haochens firm statement, she couldnt help but shake slightly, causing in him the unconscious reaction of not daring to look at her beautiful face. Thats a housepet of the devil. That devil which has killed my nsmen, seized my family, and is chasing me to kill me. If I hadnt encountered you, Im afraid I would... Long Haochen asked in puzzlement, Devil? What devil? Sisi took a deep breath, exining in sadness, A powerful mage. Practically none of us in Easton can even stand in front of him. And, he has an absolute authority in here: all the ns here have to listen to his orders. I had identally found a treasure, but he found out for some unknown reason. So he sent people to my n, requesting it. But this treasure was able to change my ns future, so our head refused categorically. A few dayster, an army came to my homnd. Not even giving the chance for apromise, they carried out a merciless ughter. When escaping from there, I personally saw my father, mother, and brother getting seized by their people. As it turns out, this was a world called Easton, an ocean of green nature in a human world. Mostly two races lived there: humans and fairies. This devil the young girl Sisi was referring to was the lord of Easton, known as Eastons King, a half-fairy with a mixed human and fairy bloodline. In control of extremely powerful nature magic, he was the greatest powerhouse of the world Easton. Eastons king was like this worlds ruler: he had no army, but his standing was like a king of the forest. Any being going against his wishes would ultimately get killed. His life seemed without end, having already ruled over this world for over three thousand years. The young girl Sisi didnt tell what treasure she had obtained. Long Haochen discerned some precautions in her eyes. How should we handle this gori? Long Haochen asked Sisi. Sisi replied hesitantly, Thats the servant of Eastons king, his faithfulckey. No one knows how many humans and fairies have already deceased by his hand. Our Noah n is pacifistic and doesnt wish for confrontations. If only it could have just remained weak forever, at least there wouldnt be a need for paying lives. Long Haochen furrowed his eyebrows, giving it some thought, Let me give a try. Saying so, he slowly lifted his right hand, silently feeling the surrounding Light God Domain. A soft multicolored radiance started to condense in his hand, filled with the power of life as it formed a small multicolored spiral in his hand. An expression of exhaustion appeared on Long Haochens face, as he was not only concentrating his force, but moreover borrowing power from the deep mysteries of life. If not for his soulforce having made great progress, there would be no way for him to aplish that. In a sh of multicolored light, that small spiral got flying, andnded on that miniaturized gori. Chapter 738 - Easton’s King (I)

Chapter 738: Eastons King (I)

Trantor: GravityTales The multicolored spiralnded on the goris head, and immediately turned into countless multicolored lights making their way into its body. The little gori stood unmoving with a nk face, its body filled up with multicolored glosses. What Long Haochen had dered he was having a try about, was mainly aboutprehension. After his cultivation had made such a qualitative leap,prehending nothing was impossible given his level of understanding. Never look down on that multicolored spiral: thats his post evolution domains domain technique, an extraordinary life seal. Long Haochen didnt know how long this seal couldst, but after it entered the goris body, he found out that all its aura of life was assimted by his seal. Should no one get rid of this seal within seven days, it would make the life alteration of this gori permanent. In other words, really turn it back into an infant. Only by restarting from scratch would it gain the chance of reaching this boundary anew. Withdrawing the domain, although Long Haochen felt somewhat tired, the happiness in his eyes stood with no doubt. He had gained his second domain technique, and this domain technique was truly miraculous. In some meaning, it could determine a persons age, life, or death. To be in control of life, what kind of cheat was that! The young girl Sisi couldnt help but stare at the scene in front of her eyes. Although she remained vignt toward Long Haochen, his domains power of nature and life had unwittingly raised some feelings of cordiality in her. It should be okay. I have sealed the growth trajectory of his life. His body has been restricted to this state and would only return to its original power after growing back. And that will be a long process. Thank you for your benevolence. May the lords of nature praise you. Sisi gazed at Long Haochen, and said very earnestly. Long Haochen seemed to want to say something as the emotionless voice from before once again sounded out within him. Second mission opened. Assist Sisi in rescuing her family, and moreover, earn her trust and have her take the initiative of offering her treasure. Failure of the mission will cause the test to fail. Although Long Haochen was already thinking that rescuing Sisi was just the start of the trial, after epting the mission, he still couldnt help but be rmed. Eastons king that Sisi had spoken about was absolutely the most terrifying existence of this ne. For one of his house pets to be so strong, how could the person himself reach such a degree of power? Even if he didnt reach a level such as the Demon God Emperors, at least he would be a match for the likes of the Moon Demon God or Star Demon God. Such a degree of strength was nothing the current Long Haochen could contend with, especially when hes unable to get Haoyues assistance. Sisi, what are your ns from now on? In the previous conversation they had exchanged names with each other. Sisis expression darkened, her cute face showing a helpless expression, I dont know either. That devil is just too powerful, my family... Saying so, she couldnt help but cry again. Long Haochen furrowed his brows, and dered, Stop crying for now. It wont solve anything. Tell me in detail, how many ns are there in Easton? Among the lot, some are intimately rted to Eastons king, and some are enemies. Although I am thinking of assisting you, Im still afraid our strength is not sufficient. Saying so, his thoughts only got even more serious. On one side, Long Haochen was standing as an onlooker, but on the other side, Sisi had just witnessed his strength, particrly his control over life going through this mystical force. But even after seeing these, she still hadnt asked from him the favor of helping. This proved either that she didnt trust him, or that she didnt believe him to be a threat for Eastons king. Long Haochen was more inclined to believe thetter. After all, he had already rescued her, and although they didnt have a deep contact with each other, his Light God Physique and the iparable purity of his light, even if he couldnt gain Sisisplete trust, at least it wouldnt make her apprehensive. Sisi silently shook her head, No. Because I have found that thing, I have already caused devastating damage to my n. I wont give it to that devil, whom I want to destroy. Even at the cost of my life, at worst I will be joining my familys side. Seeing Sisis eyes gradually bing filled with a resolute look, the first thing that came to Long Haochens mind was not his own mission, but admiration for this young girl. She was not only kindhearted, but also courageous. She may not be wise enough, but for such a beautiful girl to still have this kind of character meant she felt extremely attractive to any man. Long Haochen nodded lightly, I canprehend that you are unwilling to implicate someone else. But that way, Im afraid your family would hardly make it through alive. Sisi replied in distress, Perhaps, but that is fate. Sir Long, you have saved my life, and I am unable to return the favor. This Sisi was originally about to die. If you give in, I am willing to offer my clean self to you: this could be considered a repayment for the favor of saving my life. Anyway this body wille clean again in my next life. Long Haochen jumped in start, his ears immediately reddening. If he was told this back when he was not very aware of matters between males and females, he wouldnt give it much thought. But just before taking the test, Caier and him had just crossed the line! That was the first time he had experienced that beautiful act. Sisi was moreover such a beauty, her white clothing beingpletely insufficient to cover up her magnificent curves. When facing a beautiful woman, anyone would show some reaction. One could for instance show admiration, have dirty thoughts, or get awkward and embarrassed. Thatst was exactly Long Haochens case. Sisi, dont be like that. In front of Sisis expression of distress as she looked about to take him under her embrace, Long Haochen really felt somewhat at a loss. Grabbing her shoulders in his hands in a hurry, he forced her into a certain distance from him. Sisi raised her head to look at Long Haochen, her eyes hazy with tears, Sir Long, am I not to your liking, or are you afraid of getting involved with me? My body is really pure, and has never been in any mans hands. Hearing all she said, Long Haochen immediately felt his hands loosen as if electrocuted, as he forced a smile. Listen to me, Sisi. I just happened to be here to save you, and had no intention to get repaid in such a manner. Moreover, right because I happened to encounter such a matter, I was thinking of helping out. I may not be capable enough to contend against a powerful opponent such as Eastons king. But I will still give it a try. If we are lucky enough, maybe your family can be saved. Even if we are unable to seed, you mustnt renounce living so lightly. There is always a hope for the living, but nothing can be done for the dead. Sisi silently nodded, Thank you, Sir Long. I really dont know how I can thank you. As you have saved my life, you can have my body anytime you want. Long Haochen waved his hands repeatedly in embarrassment, Dont be like that, Sisi. Lets first think up a way to rescue your family. Where did you say Eastons king lives? Are you able to draw out a map? Sisi nodded, Yes. Immediately, she crouched in front of Long Haochen, drawing a detailed map using branches on the ground. Her drawing was pretty good, and as she drew she also told Long Haochen about the arrangements around Eastons kings residence. Eastons king doesnt have his own army, but wields a formidable power of nature. At least ten magical beasts of that previous goris grade serve as his house pets. If we want to break past them into his cave, then we must avoid its guards. My family is very possibly in the deepest part of this cave. Long Haochen calmly listened to her arrangements, continuously nodding, and engraving her words in his memories. Sisis body frequently let out a thin fragrance entering Long Haochens nose, different from the fragrance emitted from Caiers body. The sweetness from Sisis body was imbued with the aura of life, just like a flower full of enticement: fresh and clean, elegant and magnificent. However, Long Haochen showed an unflustered attitude. Neither his eyes, nose, mouth, nor his heart paid any special attention to Sisi. The map and arrangements are such. Sisi revealed to Long Haochen a sweet smile, apparently having already suppressed her painpared to before. When she smiled, she truly was a peerless beauty. Long Haochen gave it some thought, I suggest scouting the area first, to search for some specific information. If there is a chance, I will be entering the cave to search for your rtives. Remain outside in a safe spot, ready to provide support. How could that be okay? How could I leave you to take care of my matters all alone? Sisi shook her head firmly, I will be entering with you. Back when my father was still alive, he had formerly taken me to Eastons kings cave, so Im more familiar than you with that ce. And Sir Long, I disagree with your n. By attempting to scout the area, it would be very possible to inadvertently alert the enemy. In case Eastons king gets on guard, it will get even nearer to impossible for us to seed. The king has a habit: he takes a nap every day at noon, and for about a duration of one hour. In this process, he will be in a very, very deep sleep, but will have his body protected with a divine tool. His house pets will be guarding him extremely closely at this time, but I believe that this will be our best chance. If we can avoid those house pets as we enter his cave, we will definitely be able to save my family. Chapter 739 - Easton’s King (II)

Trantor: GravityTales Preview: Hearing Sisis arrangement and analysis, Long Haochens eyes flickered with surprise, Looks like you already came prepared! The charming smile on Sisis face stiffened, letting out a light sigh, as she once again revealed some distress, Ever since my homnd got destroyed, I have been incessantly thinking about rescuing my family, racking my brains on the issue. The method I have just spoken about should be the most feasible. Reaching this point, Sisi suddenly kneeled in front of Long Haochen. Her movement being too sudden immediately gave Long Haochen a terrible start. Chapter 740 - Eastons King (III)

Chapter 740: Eastons King (III)

The natural walking speed was not so fast, so it took another fifteen minutes before they approached the foot of Easton Mountain. Sisi stopped walking and raised her head to look at the color of the sky. At that moment, Long Haochen happened to turn around and caught a glimpse of her long eyshes blinking softly. His heart couldnt help but admire Sisis beauty once again. The Eastons King is about to take a nap. Brother Long, Im counting on you. I must go to ignite the panacea. As she was speaking, she raised the clove up and lit it carefully with a firelighter from her bosom. Suddenly, a faint smoke floated up. Sisi quickly released a curtain of water that enveloped the burning clove instead of letting the smoke spread. In an instant, the smokebined with the water curtain which soon gave off a strange pale pink color. The clove was burning in a swift manner which then turned to dust in a blink of an eye. But the water curtain in Sisis hand had already be fascinating pink. Wrist twisted as Sisi kept muttering endless incantation again and again. The pink curtain of water immediately started to coagte, and, in a moment, it utterly turned into dozens of longan-sized pink ice pellets, as beautiful as a precious gemstone. Sisi gave a charming smile to Long Haochen, then said, The only way to store the power of the panacea is, after we enter the Holy Mountain, we must ignite these ice pellets. Once the fog erupts, its effect will be actuated. We can now go up the mountain by going continuously upward from here. Brother Long, we have to be a little faster. Long Haochen nced at Sisi as she set her spirit wings free once again. Then he did the same. As the two of them were flying upward along the side of the mountain, Sisi kept tossing a pellet towards a different direction. Just like what she said before, the ice pellets burst as soon as they flew out and drifted away in a pink mist toward the distance. Along the way, they did not encounter any cutoff, just as what they expected. However, soon after, their eyes got caught by an enormous cave that appeared ahead of them. Long Haochen immediately felt four formidable presences at the entrance of the cave. Sisi went to Long Haochens side to give him a sign gesture to slow down but, at the same time, one ice pellet slipped off and burst in the sky. The ice mist crept towards the cave mouth. Soon, those four-formidable presence abated. Long Haochens heart was secretly taken aback. The clove is indeed very powerful, the Eastons King cave must be guarded by nine orders of Angels. If not because of the rhizome inside my mouth, Im not sure if the Power of Light could exempt from its poisonousness. Floated up and down, they bothnded at the entrance of the cave. There was a flicker of excitement in Sisis eyes. There were four huge bodies lying on the ground, and they looked exactly like the goris Long Haochen saw before. Even with those senseless limbs lying on the ground, their huge bodies still seemed as incredibly powerful. They were just sleeping soundly. Long Haochen seemingly had some doubts in his mind. Sisi smiled and said, Brother Long, dont worry. As powerful as the clove intoxication is, it is not going to be effective within the domain of person with strong character. If not, I would not be able to use it directly to save my family, would I? Lets head inside before its toote. Eastons King cave was extremely vast. As they advanced deep into the cave, the strong atmosphere became denser filled with great vitality. Long Haochen felt goosebumps throughout his entire body. He took a deep breath as his spirit raised at an astonishing rate inside his body. It was enough for him to keep up. Life force can also enhance the psychic power? Long Haochen finally understood fully as this could not have happened in the past, it must be the result of the sess of his training from rank nine of second orders to rank three. Sisi waved to Long Haochen with her spirit wings still remained freely before she sped into the depths of the cave. This cave was a work of God. Only after entering the cave could one got the idea how huge it was. There was an exceedingly extensive space inside as if half of the mountain had been emptied. Long Haochen and Sisi were flying inside the cave as if they were little insects within this vast cave with no trace of any other livings. To think that this shape and form were created naturally was all the more impressive. There was no time to appreciate the magic view inside the cave. Soon, they entered halfway up the mountain. At that very moment, an unusual sound hit Long Haochens ears. HuHuHuHu Long Haochens expression became strange once he heard the deafening snores. Whats this? Sisi nodded and whispered, Eastons King is asleep. This is his snoring. We should get out of here quickly. Long Haochen had a smallugh. Did it mean that the grunts of that volume and power were surely to be loud? This half of the mountain was the widest part of the cave. Sisi took a slight peek before she led Long Haochen to where a boulder was lying in front of a narrow passageway that seemed like a perfect path to go further into the cave. The size of this passage was just enough to fit a person and with a boulder lying ahead of it. It wouldve been easily missed if Sisi did not get so close to the passage. Brother Long, this should lead us to the back of the cave, where my family is being held. I Sisi stopped and looked at Long Haochen as if she wanted to say something but hesitated to. Long Haochen said, You should go rescue your family, Ill stand on guard right here, in case Eastons King woke up so I can keep him distracted. Sisi nibbled her red lips as she profoundly stared at Long Haochen before she darted into his bosom and hugged him tightly. Long Haochen was caught off guard by her embrace. Brother Long, after I rescue my family sessfully, I will be your maidservant to look after you your entire life. Once she finished her sentence, she let go of her arms and dashed off into the cave. Long Haochen lifted his right hand and gave her receding figure a gentle pat. A small whirlpool of colors came pouring inside Sisis body all at once. Sisi suddenly felt more powerful spiritually. She couldnt help but feel grateful and turned around to take a glimpse at Long Haochen. Be careful. Long Haochen nodded to her. Sisi also nodded gently before she began speeding up again and disappeared as she reached the corner of the tunnel. Long Haochen jumped into the air to reach the front of the boulder and at this exact moment, the sound of Eastons King purring suddenly stopped. Who dares to enter the Kings forbiddennd? The thick and sonorous voice was the same as the grunt before. His voice rang out like thunder in the middle of a huge hill more than three hundred meters high. There was a sh of light in Long Haochens eyes, his chest, his heartbeat was vigorously fluctuated. The evolution of the Light God domain allowed him to directly convert life form from the outside world into his own spiritual powers. As the presence of these life forms entered his body, countless spots of green rays, unexpectedly, appeared within his body, which, indeed, was very bizarre. The power of terror instantly surged in from all directions as well as the golden lights that spread throughout his body. In front of someone who was strong and capable like Eastons King, how could he fail to put his domain in a good use? The domain of dark green light arrived first before the man. The color of Eastons King domain was very special. That dark green was so bright yet so dignified at the same time. The extremely intense presence came from the purest color of Long Haochens achievement of light attribution. Green and colorful golden light collided together. A strange scene appeared. Between two fields, there was no collision of mutual invasion. The seven colors of the golden light were distinctly at the superior position. Unexpectedly, after touching the domain of green light, golden light raised at full speed and became even more dazzling. In the blink of an eye, the domain grew by more than a third. Eh. That resonating voice seemed uncertain. Immediately, Long Haochen became dumbstruck when he caught sight of a figure appearing in the middle of the domain of green light. Meanwhile, that dark green domain shrank back to maintain a distance from the Light God domain. Long Haochen wouldnt be surprised if Eastons Kings body was iparably enormous, even surpassed the goris outside. That was because Sisi was so scared of him. But the King of Easton his figure is too short and small. Is he about five feet tall? Well, thats about it. He wouldnt be able to reach the height of Long Haochens chest even if he was standing in front of Long Haochen. Eastons King had short, bushy, and curly brown hair, and on top of that, it was all over the top of his head. Dressed in jade-cut armor that was shining brilliantly. Although his stature was rtively short and small, his body was extremely robust. His shoulder width was at least two-thirds of his height. His eyes and nose could be seen clearly. Eastons Kings face was bright red, as if he had rosacea. He had brown eyes just like his hair. He was holding a huge axe as big as his body in his left hand and a huge hammer in his right hand. With his stocky torso, he was holding a huge pair of dark green weapons that seemed rather odd. Such fine weapons. Although, the two weapons and Eastons Kings armor were green, Long Haochen immediately concluded that the three items were artifact-grade in existence. The color could be different, but the presence could not be wrong. Just the sheer presence of it had already turned the entire cave green. Although the Eastons Kings presence was powerful, it did not exert much pressure on Long Haochen. The scope of light was contracting within thirty meters of Long Haochen. Any ray of green that surpassed this range would immediately be part of the Light God domain. Chapter 741 - The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (I)

Chapter 741: The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (I)

Long Haochen had justpleted his ascent, and with his brief preupation with Eastons Kings domain, he felt stronger than ever. But his heart was still beating endlessly as if it was recovering its spiritual strength. Human, why did you enter my domain? Eastons Kings voice was still, inversely proportional to his size, deafening. Long Haochen answered, Eastons King, to fulfill your selfish desire, you bullied others and evenmitted genocide. Today is your day to pay back the debts. As he spoke, his two hands were joining together on the top of his head. The aria of the Goddess of Light merged with blue rain and hibiscus of light. The radiant of the seven colors rose instantly and the God of Light domain rippled outwards like water. Nonsense! Eastons King shouted as he brandished his axe and hammer around and suddenly his green domain burst forth in the air, all at once, in a myriad of nt forms towards the domain of Light. How did this happen? said Eastons King, astounded. Restrained his domain hastily as he pounced on straight towards Long Haochen. Aplete domain restraint was extremely rare and would only ur where two of the domains were at their peaks. And the domain of Long Haochen and Eastons King were more than just mere forbearance. Eastons Kings domain was the closest upon the best fuel for Long Haochens domain, and for a moment, Long Haochens domain was a little stronger than he could control. With the confrontation of Eastons Kings attack, Long Haochen was not afraid at all. He took out his sword of Life and Creation with both hands to behead. The beheading might not be of the original as of right now, not only the mixed strength of Long Haochens domain but also the understanding of the meaning of the sword, the soul of the sword. Just by looking at the practice altogether, seemingly as if the seven colors of the golden of the light in the sky, the whole mountain, all hovered around the spirit of killing. At this moment, Long Haochen exuded an unprecedented majesty. Eastons Kings green domain weakened and melted as it came into contact with the golden light of Long Haochens sword. Even a pair of the most powerful weapons in his hand were greatly affected. But Eastons King, whose spiritual strength was far higher than that of Longs, let out a loud cry as his two arms parted. Suddenly, Long Haochens sword was torn into pieces by a tremendous force, at the same time, as the King moved closer, he struck his ax right against Long Haochens sword of Life and Creation. At this point, Long Haochen could feel nothing but surprise. It had never urred to him that the power of one person or any creature could be this frightening. Even the King of Devils could never possess such power. Only the little touch of the edge of the sword, the next moment, Long Haochens entire body already flew right off like a cannonball and hit the distant wall. As hard as the wall inside the mountain was, with the green debris that scattered when Long Haochens body hit the wall, it made a big hole. With Long Haochens nine orders of rank three and his ability to suppress both the enemys domain and sword, if they were to confront, this would be the result of Eastons Kings power. Long Haochens heart was beating vigorously and endlessly, he couldnt help but sweep out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if he got ran over by a boulder and every part of his body hurt, especially in his arms. He felt as if they werent his own. The sword of Life and Creationpletely split into two epees after an instant contact. There were fine cracks all over the swords as if they were breaking apart. Even though Long Haochens body was recovering quickly, how can such a battle continue? No wonder. No wonder even his pet was so powerful. No wonder he was so short and yet grunting. It appeared to Long Haochen that Eastons King was the most frightening of them all. Eastons King cried with his triumphant voice, Ha Ha! This King has the blood of King of Titans. A fight on strength, even the Gods woulde to me in submission. Meanwhile, a strong golden light drifted out from the hole where Long Haochen was. The color of the golden light became even more powerfulpared to before. Followed by a strange trajectory with a slight hum, the seven colors flew rapidly in rotation. The next moment, Long Haochen was back in the air. Long Haochen, took a deep breath before he looked fixedly at Eastons King and said, I couldnt be a match with you by strength. So Ill use the domain this time. At once, Long Haochen transformed to the sun-like shape. All the colors of the golden light were shining from every aspect of the mountain. Eastons King, despite his tremendous power, waspletely repressed in his attributes by Long Haochen. Once the golden light fell upon him, he knew immediately that his power was being drawn with prodigious speed. At the same time, he could not use his domain, as it would only speed up his cultivation to be swallowed by the domain of Light. Only by attacking the enemy that he could be saved and only by defeating Long Haochen that he could remove this threat from the domain of Light. Eastons King roared before his hammer flew out of his hand into midair like a meteor. Long Haochen gave him a dry smile. In this powerpetition, even if granted with all kinds, I still would not be yourponents. However, your domain ispletely suppressed by me and no domain would weaken or counterbnce it. No matter how strong you are, thats it without the domain. The great hammer flew passed him as he was speaking, but only light and shadow were broken. Before the hammer sh into the wall, it curved right back into the hands of Eastons King. All he could see in the cave was the colors of the golden light. The domain of the God of Light showed him the world with only colors. The cave seemed to have disappeared as everything he saw became colorful. Exactly as Long Haochen said, there was no domain in confrontation. Mere strength could not stand half a chance against a strong domain. Just the dominance of his domain alone made him powerful. Eastons King did not speak a word but only his brown eyes shining brightly. While holding a pair of weapons by his side, he was in a position of perceiving Long Haochen. He soon found out that it was nothing. All he perceived from Long Haochens domain as light. Not a single breath of the soul. Long Haochen remained hidden inside the domain of Light as he quickly recovering his body and using his brain. If it werent for the domains absolute restraint, even the strongest man in thend of the spirit, the holy knight, Yang Haoyu, would not be Eastons Kings opponent. His power is indeed tremendous. The life presence is even purer in his domain. Also, because of the evolution of Long Haochens domain of Light, there was the ability to control the course of life which had the effect of the fusion of life-breath. Otherwise, he would have no other choice but to flee. Affected the domain of Light, his spiritual strength reduced greatly. Even if he was physically strong, without the support of the spiritual strength, he could only grind Long Haochen bit by bit. Eastons Kings eyes were full of reluctance. With a battle so badly fought, it had never urred to him that his domain could be in control by anothers domain like this. His domain possessed a powerful ability to control all vitality of all animals and nts. Once inside his domain, the enemys vitality will be drained rapidly along with his super strength. No one in thend of Easton had ever threatened him. But today, he came across a huge mess, with the domain of the God of Life that he had always been so proud of fighting against Long Haochens advanced domain of the God of Light like a dry firewood that meet fire and then the firewood, which was him, was burned. Eastons King let out another roar. His presence burst forth and the domain of Life that previously went hidden bloomed again. Although this was just like drinking poison to quench thirst, only this way that the two domains would collide and show him Long Haochens whereabouts! In a sh, Eastons Kings shootout with top, while his two weapons flew out of his hands into the air, covering the ground, towards Long Haochen. Only the two weapons that were flying toward Long Haochen could be seen, but on the verge of shing, they turned a corner and collided with one another caused a terrifying roar. Ayer of intense emerald lightning scattered, covering at least 300 square meters. Haha! You have no ce to hide now. You are hit by my great thunder. Even if your domain can restrain me, you will be in shock and soon be paralyzed. Yi At this point, Eastons King realized something went wrong. For he found that Long Haochens shadow had vanished and the domain of Light was rapidly merging with his domain of Life. No, this cannot be. Eastons King, full of confusion, caught the two artifact weapons flying back to him. Chapter 742 - The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (II)

Chapter 742: The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Haochens voice resonated from all directions. Thats not something impossible because I didnt just override you by domain. I restrained you. My spirit is stronger than yours. Thus, even when the domains collided, I can suppress your perception and prevent you from finding my real location. That being said, Long Haochen was secretly surprised. The power of two great artifacts colliding was terrifying. Even though he was within range, it wouldnt have killed him. If anything, he would bepletely restricted or even sealed. And if that was the case, Eastons King could have turned the table and win the battle. Eastons King unwillingly withdrew his domain of Life quickly. If he were to not do so, his power would be wasted further. However, Long Haochens power continued to increase while the melting of Eastons Kings life force was elerating. Believe it or not, I can bring the power of Easton into your domain and burst it up, said Eastons King with a menacing air, while he was holding his artifacts high up in his hands. Long Haochen smiled and said, You can give it a try, but dont you think that youll melt before my domain explodes? Eastons King could not say a word with his face twisted with anger. He knew that even though Long Haochens strength could not match with his strength, Long Haochen was still an opponent he couldnt beat. This was indeed a very ufortable experience for him. Of course, he could escape through the Life God domains protection but, as the King of Easton, how could he leave hisnd behind and escape by himself? How could he continue to rule Easton afterwards? Eastons King was very angry, so all the colors of gold around him suddenly receded and Long Haochens body appeared. After the period of recovery, the damage that Long Haochen got by the st had been recovered. Having devoured a great amount of life power replenishment, the earlier manifestation of Light domain did not consume Long Haochens spiritual power. Instead, it fed himself and helped he restore almost all of his power. Eastons Kings face became even more twisted, though only he could feel it. But all Long Haochen could see was his beard. He could still perceive that unwillingness in Eastons Kings eyes. Human, are you here to insult me? growled Eastons King. Long Haochen, faced towards him, was not defeated. Though he had reimed the domain, Eastons King knew that Long Haochen did not have the power to kill him instantly. Eastons King also could not kill Long Haochen instantly either, just as he could sense that Long Haochens intention was not to kill him. Long Haochen shook his head,. Of course not. I am invited to fight with you. She told me that you have killed all her people and have taken away her family to plunder her treasures. I came here to rescue her family. Nonsense. Im the spokesman of the Lord of Nature on earth. It is the embodiment of Nature and the will of Life. I would never do such things. Though you have the heart of Light and the glory of the highest Light, you still cannot insult me like this. I am the child of the Lord of Nature. Eastons King was furious while pounding those frightening weapons in his hands. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he quickly asked, Who is the person you just mentioned? I want to know who dares to nder the spokesman of the Lord of Nature, the great King of Easton. Just as Long Haochen was about to open his mouth, the whole cave shook violently then indescribable and powerful force emerged as Sisi entered. It was the same force that made Life. But it was not the force that created it, but the force that destroyed it. Eastons King became terrified by her aura alone but did nothing. It was more as if he feared the destructive force of Life and quickly backed away, and even ducked behind Long Haochen. At that moment, a white figure emerged from the cave and her presence unleashed a destructive force of Life. The terror of undtions of power pressed both Long Haochen and Eastons King to the distant wall at the same time. But they soon got used to the force and flew back to the ce they stood before. Eastons King looked at Long Haochen with both anger and horror. Y-You let a human slipped into the forbiddennd and steal the seeds of Tree of Destruction? Do you know that it would upset the bnce of the whole Easton and even render all of Eastons life into nothingness? The white figure that shed out was indeed Sisi. In her right hand, she was holding a very strange stone. The stone looked very strange, half gold and half silver. With a faint of gold and silver glow. And just where the gold and silver meet, a little seedling emerged. The seedling was pale purple with dark purple spots. And the huge destructive force of Life that Long Haochen felt before came from this small seedling. This was exactly the seed of the tree of destruction that Eastons King mentioned. Sisi, did you see your family? Long Haochen asked. Sisi looked up at both Long Haochen and Eastons King for a moment and looked surprised. She asked, Why didnt you take him away? Long Haochen said, My domain restrained him, so I dont need to lead him away now. And you still havent answered my question. Sisi smiled and said, Its not important now. Brother Long, thank you for helping me get the seed of this Tree of Destruction, and from now on, I am the ruler of this Easton world. I will grow together with the Tree of Destruction until thepletion of my Destruction God domain. I never thought you are so powerful that you can even defeat Eastons King. Its just if you won over him already, why dont you just kill him? But thats alright. Let me do it myself. Eastons King looked at Sisi and became furious. Its you. Its you, Goddess of the Moon. What do you want? Thest time you took the stone for the seeds of the Tree of Destruction. Do you want to destroy Easton? When Long Haocheng heard the name Moon Goddess, he stood nkly. In his mind he couldnt help but think of that Devil of the Night. I havent seen her for so many years and I do not know what happened to her. However, the God of Devils at that time told me that he would do anything bad to her. Is she alright now? Sisi sneered and said, You silly.?If you had not forced our Moonlight Race so hard that we have no ce to live, then how can I take this risk? I changed my faith the moment I nted the Tree of Destruction on the stone. Eastons King, I may not be able to kill you today but when the Lord of Destruction grows up, I wille to you first. Long Haochen frowned and looked at Sisi. Sisi, thats not like what youve told me. Did you note here to save your family? Sisi looked at Long Haochen with a slightlyplicated look. She sighed and said, Brother Long, Im sorry that I lied to you. But I had to. Youre too kind and trust people so easily. But it was worth it. You are so handsome, but you carry a bright legacy. You may rest assured that I will find the best tomb for you when I am fully integrated with the number of Destruction. Of course, if you give up your belief in Light and follow me to understand the mystery of Darkness, not only that I wont kill you, but I can even marry you and be your wife. After all, its rare for a human to be as good as you. As she spoke, Sisis body began to change. Her ears became pointed and her ck hair grew slowly, with more twists and turns, spreading out behind her like big ck waves. Three pairs of transparent but emitting faint ck wings spread out. The face of matchless color became more of a mysterious temptation. And her breath of Life rose, not as strong as Eastons King, but at least the same level with a strong domain yer. Sisis voice was not so soft anymore and became a little prouder. Allow me to introduce myself again. I am the master of Darkness and Water, Queen of the Moonlight of Easton, Night Elf patriarch. My nsmen are gradually driven to extinction by you humans and elves. If I dont do something, I will be exterminated. So, not everything I told you before was a lie. As for my parents and rtives, they dont exist. As Queen of the moonlight, I am the master of Darkness. You dont need any blood rtives. Long Haochen was silently watching Sisi as she was speaking with an unchanging facial expression. Eastons King cried while he, yet again, stroke his sacred artifacts and the domain of Life glowed bright green. Moon Goddess, do you think that you could get away today too? Moon Goddess Sisi smiled and said, Get away? If it was before, maybe you would still have a chance to keep me here. But now As she spoke, she lifted the Tree of Destruction in her hands, and the dark breath of Life with its icy coldness poured rapidly into the stone. All at once, terror and oppression, many times more powerful than before, burst forth, and the domain of Life of the oppressed Eastons King shrank rapidly. The Tree of Destruction is thepanion of the Tree of Eternity, which is the home of the Lord of Nature. Though you are the spokesman of the Lord of Nature, how can youpete with the Tree of Destruction? You are not strong enough to keep me from leaving, even if the Tree of Destruction is only just sprouting. Chapter 743 - The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (III)

Chapter 743: The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (III)

Long Haochen stood in front of Eastons King, and all the colors of gold burst forth in an instant, protecting Eastons Kings domain of Life. The destructive breath of the Tree of Destruction was not as potent as it was in the domain of Light. At least Long Haochen didnt step back. The two domains shed with each other, emitting a faint sound. There was a trace of resentment on Sisis face. Brother Long, are you going against me? Long Haochen frowned. It seems like I was wrong. Sisi smiled and said, Whats the use of knowing that now? You always get the short end of the stick since you are so naive. Consider my offer. Follow the Darkness and Ill keep you by my side forever. Under one man, above ten thousand. Long Haochen shook his head gently. I was wrong, but not too wrong. Good people are not necessarily stupid. Its not toote to make up for my mistake. Huh? Sisi looked at Long Haochen with some confusion, but the spirit of the Tree of Destruction into the seedling got stronger. Long Haochen raised his hand to the Moon Goddess, and then a strange golden glow burst from her body. The soft gold seemed innocently golden, but as it spread it made her scream. Her dark powers were instantly blocked. Then her body began to shrink. You, you put a curse on me? You bastard Sisis voice grew shrill and tender, and in a moment, her body shrank to the size of a three or four-year-old girl. She even needed both of her hands to hold that piece of moonstone. It was not just her vitality that declined, but also her strength. Although Sisi was still the same, her powerful domain-level practice had disappeared. Nature could no longer drive the Destructive force of Life. So, you were mean enough to nt a seal inside me. Sisi gave Long Haochen a grinning stare. She was originally beautiful but after she shrank to the size of a little girl, she looked even more beautiful and lovely. The six wings on her back also became small and dainty, which looked funny. Long Haochen shook his head. It wasnt I who was mean. I saw through your lies, so I changed my mind. If Eastons King is an evil man, as you say, then I will do my best to help you. Unfortunately, you lied to me. No, not even the power of this Tree of Destruction can banish my seal. Yes, I certainly dont have the power of that dimension of the Tree of Eternity that youre talking about. But one thing I can assure you is that my Light is at least the level of the Tree of Eternity. You lied. You lied, Sisi muttered. You didnt see through my n. It was your vile attempt to seize my treasures that you put the curse on me. Long Haochen smiled. What is done by night appears by day. I saw through your lies a long time ago. The first w in your words appeared when you thanked me before we took the action. Even in death, the soul goes to heaven instead of returning to the arms of nature. I suspected you then. As I remember you said before, men and elves in Easton are the children of the Lord of Nature. Later, before we went looking for cloves, you looked at my spirit wing with envious eyes and a trace of hidden greed. My perception is very high. Maybe you think its seamless, but I found it nheless. It was too easy to get the cloves. And if its holy, why not nt it in your cave? You said that all you left was a little smoke and mirrors. But ording to my soul detection, there is an attack spell in your shadow, which is as powerful as a forbidden spell. All this made me wonder, but it is not the most important. It was your concealment of strength that convinced me. I felt the spirit of Eastons King when we approached the Easton hill while younded on the ground and marched forward. Although he was about to take a nap, his powerful senses covered a vast area and just because the natural elements in the air fluctuated, something was missing. And as we went along, you directed me to change direction, to evade Eastons Kings perception. That is to say, your perception is as good as mine, and how simple is it to be an eighth-order sorcerer? Moreover, you walked ording to your perception, which is not at ease with the masking power of my domain. In addition to these discoveries, here is my understanding of the world of Easton. I can tell you frankly, I did not belong to this world originally, but I have the same Light as this world. The power of my soul is far above you, even above Eastons King. When you went to get the cloves, I used my Force of Spirit and this worlds Nature to carry outmunication. When Imunicated with them through arge tree, I felt their faith and their feelings towards Eastons King. I asked them with my soul. But not one of the creatures that answered my question was hostile to Eastons King. At that time, I confirmed my judgment. But I still came here with you because I wanted to see what is your real purpose. If I had exposed you, I would have left a ticking time bomb in Eastons world, and I was curious about your intentions. So, I came along with you. Fortunately, you didnt have any problem with the cloves. Its intoxicating, but it doesnt hurt. Otherwise, I would have done it already. Long Haochen, with a smile on his face that made his handsome face even more alluring, said, The wisest thing about you is that 90% of what you said to me is true, and only the most critical 10% is false. Along with the sincerity in your eyes and your beauty, its really easy to fall for your lies. But even a wise man may miss, and you made so many mistakes. Before you went into the cave, my hand could be very helpful to you, as long as what you said is true. You didnt resist my power in order to gain my trust, and if Im right, immediately after you entered the cave, you channeled my power of Light out of your body with your water system. Right? Unfortunately, you cant guide out my domain power. You are not inferior to me in practice, perhaps even better than me. However, even your practice cannot cancel my curse after my domain invaded the body and takes root. The name of my skill in this field is controlling the course of life. Maybe I cant seal you like that gori, but at least I can seal you for an hour. Right? Your majesty the Goddess of Moonlight. The Moon Goddess answered, But you fought with Eastons King. Werent you afraid that hed kill you? What if you cannot beat him? How could you be so sure of yourself? Long Haochen said, Yes, I didnt know if I can defeat Eastons King. But I was sure that he wouldnt kill me. You cant think of this because you dont know much about Light and Nature. What is the source of Life? Its Light and Water. Nature is born under the action of Light and Water. I fought with Eastons King to get a closer look at his abilities. And as I expected, Eastons King had the purest elemental power and sphere of Life. Can such a pure breath of Life be possessed by the wicked? At the same time, I presented my domain to Eastons King and thought this was the first time we met. The mere fact of our nature made it impossible for us to be true enemies. And of course, we wont kill each other in battle. I had this judgment long before I came here. What else to fear? Long Haochen said this slowly with reason and details. His voice was calm, but it was thunderous to Sisis ears, the Goddess of Moonlight. You You Without the Destructive force of Life, Eastons King had reached Long Haochen. He nced at him and said, Its terrifying to be a clever man. But Im d you didnt make a big mistake. Long Haochen made a gesture of pleasure and said, Since this Tree of Destruction is under your charge, please take it back. Now Sisi no longer resisted. Although she was still holding the seedling of the Tree of Destruction, she could not borrow the power of Terror anymore. However, Eastons King, instead of going directly to retrieve the Tree of Destruction, frowned. Sisi sneered. You are smart. But do you think this will stop the growth of the Tree of Destruction? You can kill me. But in the near future, when the Lord of Destruction grows up, the world of Easton will be its nourishment and all of you will die. Long Haochen frowned. Isnt it just a small seedling? Cant I destroy it now? Sisiughed hysterically with her child face and said, Joke. This really is a joke. It seems like you do not belong to Easton. The Tree of Destruction is as immortal as the Tree of Eternity. After its seed sprouts in the stone, it can never be destroyed. If you dont believe my words, why dont you let the dwarf by your side to give it a try. His power isparable to Gods power. Ask him if he can destroy the Tree of Destruction.

Chapter 744: Resurrection! Ya Tings kiss (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Haochen immediately turned to the Eastons Kings side and gave him an inquiring look. Eastons King nodded gravely. Shes right. Now we can only try to seal the seedling of the Tree of Destruction, to slow down its growth. Then Ill pray to the Lord of Nature and see if the Lord of Nature can separate the branches of the Tree of Eternity and seal the Tree of Destruction. Though Eastons King did not me him, Long Haochen could hear the disapproval in his voice and said, I beg your pardon, Eastons King. I was being careless. I did not expect the Moon Goddess plotting like this. I must say, however, that your defenses against the seed of the Tree of Destruction are not very strong. Who would have thought she could have done that? said Eastons King, with a touch of shame. If you hadnt stopped me, I would have known she was about to attack the seeds of the Tree of Destruction and then we would have plenty of time to stop her. Long said, I started it. Ill end it. As I entered, I felt the aura of destruction. Eastons King, I ask you for thest time, do you want to destroy this Tree of Destruction so that it will never appear again? Eastons King grimly said, Of course. My Lord cannot destroy it, but he cannot allow it to affect the Tree of Eternity in his domain, so he left it under my charge. Who knew it would cause such a problem? Long Haochen nodded and said, In that case, you can leave it to me. To destroy the Tree of Destruction is not that difficult. As he spoke, he turned, raised his right hand, and beckoned slightly to the Tree of Destruction. The tip of the bright golden double-edged sword went straight towards the Tree of Eternity in Sisis hand. Sisi still sneered with her mouth corner full of disdain. She failed today, but she had sacrificed her dark soul to the Tree of Destruction when she was praying just now. As long as the Tree of Destruction could grow shortly, there was still a chance that her soul would revive. Ding The shaft of the sword fell on the Tree of Destruction and broke into a clear hum. A light purple mist formed a curtain of light that protected the Tree of Destruction. Long Haochens sword tip failed to stir even a bit of purple light and died out. Long Haochen nodded slowly. It does have a strong defense. Sisi sniffed and said, It is indestructible. Long Haochen smiled and said, Dont be so arrogant. Nothing is impossible in this world. As he spoke, his hands rose slowly, making a hollow gesture in the air. Then, on his forehead, nine lines of purple and golden light appeared. When the nine lines of light appeared, Long Haochen, who had been full of light, had an evil spirit on his face. Even Eastons King was frightened, but he soon found that Long Haochens heart of Light had not changed, only its power had changed. Then Eastons King and Sisi saw a great sword begin to creep out of Long Haochens hollow hands. The purple and golden body of the sword looked so dazzling, especially the six heads at the hilt. All of them had cold eyes as if they were watching everything around them. The purple and gold heavy sword gave a slight hum to the artifacts in Eastons Kings hands and the armor on his body. Eastons King asked, My precious weapon got scared. W-What kind of sword is this? Long Haochen smiled and said, Since it came out for destroying the Tree of Destruction, let it be called the destroyer. So, its full name is, The Destroyer, purple and golden moonlight sword. As he spoke, the purple and golden moonlight sword in his hand took a stunning rainbow and cut towards the Tree of Destruction in Sisis hands. This time, Sisi felt a great threat. She did not fear that the Tree of Destruction was attacked, but she would be the next target after the Tree of Destruction! She did not have the same defense power as the Tree of Destruction. Both man and spirit had a strong desire to survive. Almost subconsciously, Sisi released the stone in her hand. A purple and golden sh came and hit the Tree of Destruction in midair. The purple light that emerged from the Tree of Destruction appeared again, but it was not the same as the sword that got destroyed in an instant. This time, when its purple light and the purple and golden moonlight sword came into contact, the two produced a cohesive effect. In other words, the purple and golden moonlight sword stuck in the air when it came close to the stone of the Tree of Destruction. After a few seconds, the stone of the Tree of Destruction trembled violently. Layer afteryer of purple light became more and more intense, so much that they looked like some shining purple stars. The purple and golden moonlight sword was still flowing with purple and golden glows, but the hilt of the six big eyes were all open, as if they hade back to life, watching the Tree of Destruction struggling with cold eyes. No, its impossible. Sisi said pensively, The destructive force bred in the Tree of Destruction even in its initial state could instantly destroy any force that attacked it. How can a situation of confrontation emerge? The indescribable look was shown on her face and suddenly, the purple and golden moonlight sword changed its appearance. The original sharp de instantly turned into a big mouth, one bite on the Tree of Destruction out of theyer of destructive energy and directly bit the sapling of the body. It exerted its incredible force to pull off the moonstone and then swallowed it. The Tree of Destruction suddenly turned into a mass of purple light and disappeared without a trace. With a lift of his right hand, Long Haochen drew in the stone that had lost the Tree of Destruction. He turned to the stunned Eastons King and asked, Is this yours? Eastons King shook his head and answered, This is natures treasure, not mine. You got it back. Its yours now. But have you, have you really destroyed the Tree of Destruction? Long Haochen smiled and said, Probably. Dont worry. There should not be any problem. As he entered Eastons King cave and felt the idea of destruction, the Hao Yues state of mind came into Long Haochens heart. Hao Yue was full of desire for the destructive force and constantly encouraged Long Haochen to take it away. But this was Eastons Kings ce, and Long Haochen certainly could not have done so without knowing the truth. At the same time, he became more suspicious of Sisi. And Hao Yue also clearly told him that the destructive force although pure and strong, was not enough to cause any damage. It could only be its tonic. With this, it could help toplete his final evolution in the shortest time. This was the first time that Hao Yue told Long Haochen that it was close toplete its final evolution. Long Haochen asked Eastons King if he wanted to destroy the Tree of Destructionpletely in order to give Hao Yue a proper repair. It was not clear whether the Tree of Destruction had beenpletely destroyed or not, but he knew that what Hao Yue had eaten would nevere out again. In particr, Hao Yue had told him earlier that the Tree of Destruction was not on the sameyer as it was. There was noing back. Sisi waspletely frozen as herst hope died. Suddenly, she screamed, put her hands on her head, and began to roll in pain. Such a wild cry of pain will not look good on a beautiful girl. Long Haochen was surprised, but this time he cannot contact the seal of the domain. Eastons King, whats wrong with her? When he saw that Sisi was suffering, Eastons King was overjoyed. Strong human friend, you really did it, you really did it. She must have sacrificed all dark aspects of her soul to the Tree of Destruction. It must be now that the Tree of Destruction has beenpletely destroyed, and the dark side of her soul also shattered along with it. Part of her soul has been lost. That is why she is so miserable. You see, her dark powers are beginning to unravel. Ha-ha, the Night Elf, Moon Goddess, has lost her power of darkness, and Easton will now be at peace for a long time toe. There will be no more threat from the Tree of Destruction anymore. Thank you, my friend. I, Eastons King, will give you my friendship forever. For Eastons King, the Night Elves were not a big threat, but they were always disturbing the peace of Easton. Especially this time, the Moon Goddess evil attempts naturally made him full of vignce. Now, Moon Goddess Sisis soul had been destroyed and she also lost the power of darkness, which meant that Night Elves lost their leader, naturally they wont be able to turn up a storm. Much to Eastons Kings delight, Long Haochen destroyed the Tree of Destruction. From now on, he could rest, and nothing in the world of Easton could threaten him. At that moment, Long Haochen suddenly was struck by a thought and unconsciously summoned the riven aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. The two Excalibur swords had left irreparable traces during the collision, and their breaths had grown very feeble. But Long Haochen still felt a faint but familiar breath of life from the two swords. With little hesitation, Long Haochen turned to Eastons King, who stood nearby and said, I need your domain of Lifes growth. Give me a hand. Chapter 745 - Resurrection! Ya Tings Kiss (II)

Chapter 745: Resurrection! Ya Tings Kiss (II)

Eastons King quickly replied, No problem. Come. As he spoke, his dark green domain of Life expanded and enveloped Long Haochens body. Long Haochen raised his two swords slowly into the air, stared at them with burning eyes. He took a deep breath first before he calmed down, and the next moment, he slowly closed the two swords which might break at any moment. The golden light from the Light Gods domain rose, enveloping the two Excalibur swords. They merged, and the breath of Life and Creation appeared. But the force was so strong that the two Excalibur swords broke, and they began to hum a little. Long Haochen thundered, Stand firm, she had gone through so much to give birth to you! Please truly unite now. Boom The sword of Life and Creation exploded into countless specks of light. And thergest of these specks of light was a mass of gold. Long Haochens gaze was fixed upon the mass of the golden light, and at the same time, all of the broken specks of light were covered by his domain of Light. Time stopped. The forces that controlled the course of Life were instantly oveid upon these specks of light. A beam of golden light shot from Long Haochens chest with his beating Heart of Eternity, directly into the golden light. Suddenly, the golden specks of light began to expand at an amazing speed, stretched, the breath of life had be more and more intense. It was as if a little golden embryo had been conceived, and the figure began to take on a life of its own. There were even three pairs of tiny light wings on the back. Her appearance gradually became clearer, more beautiful and soft, but so transparent and weak. Wasnt this Ya Ting? Long Haochens heart shattered at the time when he was struck down by the God of Devils in the tower. And Ya Ting was right at the hole next to Long Haochens heart. The impact of God of Devils was indeed too great, so much so that Ya Tings elvish body instantly shattered. Only the soul, which had fought with the sword of Life and Creation, had been saved by the Excalibur. But her soul was in an unconscious state because it was too weak. Ever since the resurrection, Long Haochen had been searching for Ya Ting while he was practicing. After such a long search, along with his practice and evolution, again and again, he finally discovered a possibility that Ya Ting was transformed into a sword spirit by two Excalibur swords. Only when they merged into the sword of Life and Creation that Long Haochen felt the breath of Ya Ting. However, even if he knew that the soul of Ya Ting might still exist, Long Haochen did not dare to act rashly. If two Excalibur swords were broken, Ya Ting would probably be destroyed right away. She should stay in Excalibur. And what happened here finally gave Long Haochen an opportunity. The evolutionary domain of Light gave him the magical ability to process life. He was using the power of his domain to force the evolution of Ya Tings weak soul! The process wasplex, cumbersome, and a huge drain on Long Haochens power. But he had Eastons King beside him Therefore he was able to increase his domain power without any scruple. Gradually, Ya Ting became stable. Long Haochen exhaled. At least he was sure that Ya Ting in this state will not shatter easily. But things became even moreplicated. Long Haochen began to instill the energy of the two broken Excalibur swords into Ya Ting. By the virtue of his pure domain of Light, the soul of Ya Ting gradually increased to a very strong degree. Dont forget the fact that Ya Ting had fused with the Holy Spiritual furnace and the gestating power of the Holy Spiritual furnace which had slept in her soul became awaken. Both the aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain and Hibiscus of Light were nurtured by Ya Ting for a long time. At this moment, they were all broken. It wouldnt be so difficult to merge the pure energy into Ya Tings soul. However, the external force needed to be very strong. In the middle of the air, Eastons Kings dark green domain of Life in the outermostyer with Long Haochens luminous domain of colorful gold inside was prominent to the eyes. And at its core, Ya Ting emitted a soft golden glow. With the integration of the broken strength of two Excalibur, Ya Tings body gradually became solid, and the painful feeling of weakness gradually decreased. What Long Haochen injected into her was not only the broken strength of two Excalibur but also a huge vitality guided by Light. Elves, even Element elves, had a great thirst for vitality, not to mention that in the heart of Long Haochen, Ya Ting had long been regarded as a pure Element elf. Eastons King was indeed powerful, and his Life domain showed no sign of weakening during the absorption process of Long Haochens Light domain. Moreover, it could be seen that from the outside of the cave, arge amount of life-breath poured into Eastons Kings domain, and then continued to increase for Long Haochen. As the master of the world, Eastons King had the supreme authority here. He was the spokesman of the Lord of Nature and the master of the forces of Life. If Long Haochens domain of Light had not restrained him too much, he would not be suppressed. With the strong support of this ally, Long Haochen had no more difficulties in reconstructing Ya Tings body. He also relied on the power of the soul after the great evolution to constantly control his domain of Light. Meanwhile he helped Ya Ting to reshape her body, and he tried to understand a variety of changes and the mystery of controlling domain which the domain evolution brought about. Now he could master the nine levels of rank three of righteousness. Long Haochenstest insight was that controlling the course of life could be very useful. The only drawback was that he didnt have strong offensive and defensive skills. Against a smaller opponent, this area of skill was unbeatable, and can even make a variety of changes. But if the opponent also had a strong field, then his field skill could only be useful in some aspects. The waltz of the Light domain is worse than the power attack. Of course, with the understanding of this domain, his domain of Light had taken a big step forward and evolved to a more frightening level. Finally, when thest shard of Excalibur melted into Ya Tings body, Long Haochens domains movement stopped. Ya Tings whole body was emitting a mild golden glow. She couldnt make a sound at this moment. Her enormous spiritual power was undergoing a radical fusion. Inoction of the Holy Spiritual furnace yed a huge part along with prior assistance of Long Haochens domain of Light. The fusion of absorbed foreign energy not only helped Ya Tingplete the reshaping of her body, but also made her more condensed. In the mild light elements, there was also a hidden spirit of Excalibur. Circles of white light began to emanate from Ya Tings body, and by that time it was she who waspleting the fusion. All that Long Haochen could do had already been done. What level Ya Ting could take next depended on her efforts. With a wave of his left hand, Long Haochen pulled the body of the Moon Goddess in the distance which had not moved for a while. She had lost her dark soul, and though her body was still alive, it was a mere corpse, a body without a soul. Long Haochenid his left hand on the top of the Moon Goddesss head, and the domain of Light rushed into her body. First, the seal was lifted off her body. And suddenly, Moon Goddesss body grew rapidly. Due to the previous shrinking to a mere three or four-year-old body, her clothes had fallen off. The white, perfect body appeared in the sight of Long Haochen and Eastons King. Eastons King looked as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly turned his head, and mumbled something. The beard on his face was shaking. It seemed that he was not afraid of heaven or earth but was very afraid of a womans body. Long Haochen was much more calm. He quickly closed his eyes and let no evil be seen. But he did not move away. The domain of Light invaded the body of the Moon Goddess. At this time, Moon Goddess had lost her soul, only her body was left, but her spiritual power was still very massive. After Long Haochens spirit entered her body, he first explored one side and discovered that Moon Goddess was a dark and water double nature. The strength of the spirit was about the same as his before the evolution and was also level nine of rank two. Compared to Eastons King, she was not as good as Eastons King, but still, she was level nine of rank two. The power of light began to bloom in her body and tried to drive out the power of darkness. But soon, Long Haochen found that his doing was in vain. The dark attribute in Moon Goddess was very stubborn, although, without the guidance of the soul, it was impossible to wash her dark attribute unless Long Haochen destroyed her body. This was because the power of the Queen of Darkness was in her blood. The stubbornness of the darkness in her bloodstream was beyond his power awakened afterwards. Chapter 746 - Resurrection! Ya Tings Kiss (III)

Chapter 746: Resurrection! Ya Tings Kiss (III)

Its no use. Moon Goddess is the patriarch of the Night Elfs n, and her dark nature was deeply rooted. Eastons King turned away from Long Haochen, but his perception was still there, and he knew what Long Haochen was doing. After all, Ya Ting was the spirit of the elements. In a sense, it was just the existence of the soul form. Even if her soul was solid, it would still be just a soul. Long Haochen was trying to find a body for Ya Ting and it seemed that the Moon Goddess soulless body was the most suitable candidate. Element elves and real elves were much easier to mix than other races, but only if the attributes were the same, and not exclusive to each other. Eastons King was the master of the domain of Life, and he knew exactly what Long Haochen wanted to do. But he didnt think Long Haochen would seed. Long Haochen thought for a moment and said, Perhaps theres another way. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and slowly imprinted it on Moon Goddesss towering and strong left breast. Eastons King was shocked by Long Haochens behavior and said, My friend, dont let your heart full of lights be misled. He was afraid that Long Haochen became fascinated by Moon Goddess beauty. If he did, his power of Light would no longer be pure. Long Haochen shook his head gently, and the next moment, his hand on the bosom of Moon Goddess rose into a faint red light. A drop of blood appeared simultaneously on his five fingers. Then slowly seeped through the skin of the Moon Goddess. Y-You are Eastons King, unable to take his eyes away from the carcass of Moon Goddess, suddenly turned around and red at Long Haochen. Is it worth it? Even if you seed, you will be much weaker. Elements will always follow you, even if they dont have a body. Long Haochen gently shook his head. Ya Ting is not only an Element elf but also my partner. I never thought of her as a maid. She is my friend. This might be herst opportunity. Ya Ting has done so much for me. Why does it matter if I hurt my spirit a little? Long Haochen once did the same thing when he changed Hao Yues attribute with his blood to save Hao Yues life on the Holy mountain. If one wanted to remove the darkness in the blood of Moon Goddess, then one could only use the power of blood to wash it. Long Haochen wanted to rece the darkness of Moon Goddess with his blood and create the most perfect body for Ya Ting with pure blood of the God of Light. In the middle of the air, Ya Tings body was trembling slightly, and her mood was fluctuating violently. However, her integration is not yetpleted, and she was in the control of Long Haochens domain of Light. She couldnt move at all and could only helplessly watch the drops of blood in Long Haochens hands being injected into the body of the Moon Goddess. Ya Ting was overflowing with joy that her tears kept falling from her eyes, grateful for the choice he made. She suddenly felt that her feelings had be rich and colorful, as if she were already a life rather than an element, while she looked at Long Haochen. As she slowly closed her eyes, her light grew brighter. Long Haochen made sure that Ya Ting understood the higher heart of Light with her actions, and her soul began to evolve together with the Element body. Long Haochen was no longer the same old Long Haochen. Years ago, in order to save the life of Hao Yue he lost too much blood. If not for Hao Yues timely blood-refeeding, he might have died a long time ago. But now was different, he possessed Light Gods constitution, the purest of all in thend of Devils and thend of Easton. When his first drop of Light Gods blood dropped onto Moon Goddess body, the darkness in the blood of Moon Goddess caused a huge wave. If the soul of Moon Goddess was still there, she could still have control over her power to force rejection and create difficulties for Long Haochen. But now that she had lost her soul, the dark forces could only produce a small chaotic struggle. Drop by drop of the blood from the God of Light flowed into the body of the Moon Goddess. The not-so-pure darkness met with the purest light. ck was gradually reced by gold. It could be seen thatyers of ck mist were spreading out from the Moon Goddess. Her skin became more translucent and golden light started to glow. Eastons King had a look of respect in his eyes, the first time he had ever felt such an emotion for a human being. He had all the elves under his rule, and even the good elves could not match the quality of this man! He flew slowly behind Long Haochen and put his hands on his waistcoat and suddenly, a bright blue light shone on Long Haochens chest. Faintly visible, on Eastons Kings chest, was a shimmering green leaf. It was one of the seven Leaf of Eternal at the top of the Tree of Eternity and the source of Eastons Kings power. He was harnessing his primordium life force and the infinite life force of the Tree of Eternity to help Long Haochen. With the support of Eastons King, Long Haochens heart of Eternity beat at least twice as fast. In this rapid pulse, the movement of the blood became more powerful. With the support of great vitality, his sense of frailty was suddenly swept away, and there was a more tremendous breath of life in his blood, which made it easier to cleanse the darkness inside the Moon Goddess. Eventually, thest trace of darkness was cleared out from the Moon Goddess body, her whole body became radiant with holiness, and there was a faint light flowed under her white skin. It was as perfect as a sculpture. It was then that the convergence of Ya Tings power was finallypleted. Strong white pirs of light rose into the sky, connected to the top and the bottom of the cave. Under the holy light, three pairs of wings behind Ya Ting turned into four pairs. At the same time, there was an inch of golden light on her forehead. Her breath was so soft with indescribable holiness and sharpness. Her former excited eyes became calmer and silently stared at Long Haochen, just like a child watching her father. There was reverence, there was love, and there were countless positive emotions. Long Haochen smiled. Ya Ting, this body should amodate your soul. Come on, as long as the fusion is sessful, youll be a real elf. With a slight nod, Ya Ting flew to Long Haochen. My lord, no matter what Ya Ting bes, you will always be my master. Long Haochen patted her head and said, Silly girl, dont say that. If it wasnt for me, you wouldnt have your soul nearly broken. Im more than happy to help you reshape your body. I always treat you like a sister. In the future, you will be my sister, and if you wish to, you may follow my surname and call me brother for the rest of your life. Ya Tings red lips quivered slightly, and she flung herself into Long Haochens arms. The blood of Long Haochen that flew inside her body was about to merge. When shes in that body, she will be Long Haochens sister. Long Haochen gently stroked her back. Dont cry. Todays a happy day. Ya Ting suddenly raised her head and threw her arms around Long Haochens neck and stared at him with her teary eyes. Master, before you be my brother She suddenly kissed Long Haochens lips as fast as a lightning. She did it incredibly fast, and it was all too sudden. Long Haochen, who still had to maintain the physical condition of the Moon Goddess, was suddenly kissed by her. At that time, Ya Ting was still an element. Her lips were very cold, but her emotion was indescribable. Long Haochen was in a daze, while Eastons King behind him looked a little strange. The elfs kiss was one of the most precious things in their life. The elf was a very faithful race. They would only have one lover their entire life, and even the King of Elves was no exception. An elf kissing their loved one showed their loyalty to their lover, a lifelong respect without regret. While Ya Ting was still an elf, Eastons King realized right away that she was the King of Elves with the golden line of light on her forehead, even more powerful than the Moon Goddess. Long Haochen epted her as his sister, but she had given him all her love. Does this guy know about the elf ns custom? Ya Tings kiss was brief. She then gently looked up at Long Haochen. Master, if there is an afterlife, I will not be your sister. I want to be your lover. Then her body suddenly shed and merged with the dark breath of the Moon Goddess. Ya Tings kiss and her words filled Long Haochens heart with a shock even greater than that of the previous battle with Eastons King. Though he did not know the meaning of an elfs kiss, he felt Ya Tings feelings for him! However, he couldnt ept this kind of feeling because he had feelings for that blind girl from the green bamboo pole from a long time ago. The Moon Goddess began to emit a strong golden light and the soul and body began to fully integrate. It was not only that Ya Ting integrated into the body of the Moon Goddess, but also her pure light attribute and her powerful element body. After the previous integration, Ya Ting had been upgraded to level nine. It was quite easy to merge with the Moon Goddesss body that had been baptized by Long Haochen. However, Long Haochens blood flowed in her body, and it was impossible to have any romantic entanglement with him. Before when she was still bodiless, she had no idea how much she longed for the day when she could be a true elf instead of just a pure Element elf. However, when she finally had the body, her heart was full of reluctance. Chapter 747 - The Queen Of Light Elves (I)

Chapter 747: The Queen Of Light Elves (I)

Ya Ting had been following Long Haochen for a long time. When she started to follow Long Haochen, she already knew the rtionship between Long Haochen and Caier. Due to the fact that she knew Long Haochen very well, she realized that it waspletely impossible to have Long Haochen love her, even if she had a body. In that case, the next best thing is to be his sister. This way, I can live and die together with him. Moon Goddesss body slowly levitated, and a pair of pale golden transparent wings slowly stretched out behind her, which meant that the integration of Ya Ting and her body went extremely well. One pair. Two pairs. Three pairs. Four pairs. By the time the wings reached four pairs, Long Haochen had a faint smile on his face. This meant that after the fusion, Ya Ting did not get weakened. Suddenly, the fifth pair of wings appeared. They were different from the other four pairs of wings. This fifth pair of wings was light blue, rather than pale gold. She made it. Long Haochen clenched his fist with excitement. Although he removed the Dark attribute inside the Moon Goddess body, he retained from removing the Water attribute. Water and Light are both the source of life, and they werepatible. Together with the blood of the Light God, Long Haochen could make Ya Tings body even more perfect. But in terms of blood, she might be a little behind Long Haochen, but with double attributes she should still be able to use the power of life creation. The sixth pair of wings immediately followed the fifth pair of wings. All six pairs, twelve wings, stretched slowly behind Ya Ting. Eight of them were golden and four were blue. It looked stunning. The spiritual power of Ya Ting fluctuated rmingly, and gradually a colorful glow came out. This was simr to the effect of the domain of Light after the evolution of Long Haochen. But all these colors appeared very differently, three colors were the most eye-catching and the other four colors gradually faded, it seemed to be swallowed up by the other three colors. Those three striking colors were gold, blue, and green. The three-colors glow hovered around Ya Tings body. The most powerful color was gold, whichpletely dyed the original ck hair of the Moon Goddess to gold. The blue color formed into a long skirt, and the green became the color of Ya Tings eyes. At this moment, the breath emitted by Ya Ting even surpasses that of Long Haochen, and the three-color light constituted the fluctuation of the domain, which had already surpassed that of Eastons King. Eastons King came over to Long Haochens side and bowed a little to Ya Ting. Wee, Queen of Light Elves. Ya Ting nodded slightly to Eastons King then her eyes turned into watery green with full vitality. She looked at Long Haochen with a gentle look. She held her hands in front of her chest and made several gestures. A streak of light floated out, flew towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen was a little stunned. He did not quite understand what Ya Ting was going to do. But he trusted that Ya Ting would never harm him, therefore he received that streak of light. Light lines instantly melted into his body and disappeared. Then Long Haochens body shook violently along with Ya Tings body. A golden bridge quickly appeared between them, connecting them from chest to chest. Long Haochen only felt that his spiritual power was rising at an rming rate. Originally his heart of eternitys power was roughly around ny thousand but after the breakthrough into level nine of rank three, it went up to three hundred thousand. All he felt was a series of orifices opening up and down his spine. In a short time, his inner strength increased by as much as fifty thousand and reached three hundred and fifty thousand atst. But there was no joy on his face, only a hint of helplessness. Ya Ting, why do you do this? Ya Ting, no. Now she should be called Long Ya Ting. Having inherited Moon Goddess Sisis beauty, she smiled at Long Haochen and said, My brother gave me my body and life. If one day, you are gone, then there is no point of me living in this world. Besides, the contract is done and cannot be changed. It turned out that the seemingly simple rune was the blood deed of Ya Ting. She had Long Haochens blood in her body. Afterpleting the blood contract on her own, she fed it back to Long Haochen. With a stronger yogi than Long Haochen, she simply covered up the smell of blood deed so that Long Haochen couldnt notice. After the blood contract waspleted, Long Haochen was influenced by the contract and his crafts improved greatly, just like what happened between him and Hao Yue. Twelve wings spread as Ya Ting stepped over to Long Haochens side and wrapped her arms around his left arm. Connected by blood, now my brother will never leave me, she said with a smile. Long Haochen caressed her head resignedly. What a silly girl you are! Eastons King looked at Long Haochen and then at Ya Ting. With a smile on his face, he mumbled, This might be the best possible ending. At that moment, time stopped again, and Long Haochen startled a little as he heard an emotionless voice inside his heart. You didnt get lost when given the chance of gaining much more profits. You tried to find out the truth when confused. You washed away Darkness with Light and shaped it with both Light and Water. You passed the first test. The admiration and kindness from Eastons King was the greatest thing you learned from this ordeal. The first thought that came to Long Haochens mind was that this is supposed to be a reminder of the throne of God of Eternal and Creativity. The instructions here cannot be necessarily be carried out and could even be misleading. If I do not see through the plot of the Moon Goddess, or if I follow the instructions, I might fail this test. The test for the God of Eternal and Creativitys throne was not only about strength, but also the assessment of human nature, wisdom, and other aspects. But if this is only the first test, what will be the test after this? At the same time, a loud scream of dragon suddenly rang up inside the cave. Long Haochen was taken aback. Eastons Kings face immediately became twisted. Still not over yet? The Sacred Dragon, riding on the horse of the creator, hase to harass my Easton again. As he spoke, Eastons King stepped out and headed outside the cave. Long Haochen knew that the arrival of the Sacred Dragon was closely rted to his next assessment. Without any dy, he flew outside along with Ya Ting. Aftering out of the cave, they both looked up to the sky unconsciously because the original blue sky had changed color. The sky was filled with sacred smell, dignified and oppressive, and the world of Easton also changed its color as reflected by the glow. Eastons King, suspended in midair, was staring fixedly into the distance as a point of light came hurtling toward him. Long Haochen had excellent eyesight, but before he could look further, the previous bright spot became magnified in his vision. It was a dragon, a truly gigantic one, with no wings on its back, a slender body more than thirty meters long, covered with golden scales, five ws on its belly, and double horns on its head. The majestic eyes gazed towards their side, and with its rapid approach, all the colorful lights in the air rose and fell. Eastons King shouted angrily, Sacred Dragon, are you finished? If you dont have any business here, then just turn around and go back. Are you that bored? The Sacred Dragon grunted, Shorty, are you not afraid of your followers changing their faith? Go to my dragon ind if you can. I didnte for you today. Its Gods will. Human, to ovee me, is your second test. Eastons King was just about to say something, but suddenly, a dark green light in the sky fell and shone on him. All of a sudden, Eastons Kings clever spirit shivered and didnt say what was on his lips. He could only give an apologetic shake of the head to Long Haochen. It was a pure force of nature, full of endless vitality. The only thing Eastons King could do was to believe in the power of the Lord of Nature. The test for the God of Eternal and Creativitys throne would not be less difficult due to his friendship with Eastons King. Unbeknownst to Long Haochen, his second test was supposed to hold on in a battle against the Sacred Dragon for half an hour. But because he had just resurrected Ya Ting, the degree of difficulty increased subsequently. Since it was a test, it was inevitable and useless to argue further. Long Haochen gave the Sacred Dragon a nod and said, Alright. As he spoke, he shed away into a golden light, and as he rose, the domain of the God of Light expanded, as if to meet the Sacred Dragon that covered the whole sky. At the same time, a rainbow of light shone as Long Haochen flew, and as he rose thousands of meters into the sky, by a Holy Unicorn appeared under him. Although the battle had not yet begun, Long Haochen had a sense of the Sacred Dragons strength. It was the most powerful monster he knew, and the one that even Eastons King could not do anything about. The training of the Sacred Dragon was probably equivalent to at least above level nine of rank five. What was more terrifying was that its physical power was equivalent to its spiritual power. The only thing that Long Haochen felt he had a chance to win over was to use his domain, where all creatures of divine nature are primarily light. His domain of Light was the source of all light properties, enough to subdue the Sacred Dragon in this respect. So, he was going to try and see what would happen when his domaine into contact with the Sacred Dragons domain. When the two domains came into contact in the air, a strange feeling suddenly urred in the heart of Eastons King who was watching the battle from afar. Long Haochens domain of Light crashed into the Sacred Dragon like a hot iron on a chunk of butter. Slosh, slosh. Chapter 748 - The Queen Of Light Elves (II)

Chapter 748: The Queen Of Light Elves (II)

The sky was also full of colorful light. But the sacred domaincked the gold deposits of the Light domain. Instead of suppressing Long Haochen, it was upied by Long Haochen in the corner of the sky. Yi. What a pure power of light. No wonder you are entitled to fight with me. The Sacred Dragon looked at Long Haochen curiously, but it didnt stop. It went straight to Long Haochen, exhaling a colorful breath. Long Haochen with a calm look rode on the Holy Unicorn, then there was a faint smile on his face. He lifted his right hand and the colorful golden light from his Light domain suddenly blossomed like a tsunami, dispelled the Sacred Dragon and stroke on his breath rapidly. The Sacred Dragons breath quickly became weakened, but once the golden color of the Sacred Dragon disappeared, the rest of the Sacred Dragons light rushed toward Long Haochen. Before Long Haochen could make a move, Ya Ting was standing in front of Long Haochen, with her twelve wings spreading out and her right hand pointing out. In the middle of the sky, a huge lightsaber with a length of one hundred meters appeared out of thin air. The light of the lightsaber was just a sh, and the breath of the Sacred Dragon was cut open. At the same time, around Ya Tings body, there was also ayer of power that belonged to the domain, which was also the attribute of light. But unlike Long Haochens domain of the God of Light, Ya Tings light, like the midday sun, was harsh and sharp. The huge lightsaber, a hundred meters long, sparkled in the sky with golden light, full of the spirit of Kings, indomitable. Was that her domains skill? However, wasnt it too easy for Ya Ting to already apply her skills in the domain. No preparation at all. But, on that golden giant sword, it was her domains aura. The Sacred Dragon was also shocked. As the recipient, he felt the breath on the huge sword most strongly. The Sword of Kings was not fancy but was full of indescribable destruction power. He dared not to be careless. The huge body swung in the air, and the two corners of its head shot out a bolt of seven-color lightning. The two beams of lightning merged into one and hit the golden sword. In the intense uproar, the golden sword stopped in the air for a moment. Ya Ting grunted coldly, and her hands quickly turned a fewplex gestures near her chest. With one more push, suddenly, the great sword of the golden light abruptly went right thought the seven-color electric light and went right to the Sacred Dragon. This is a domain weapon? Eastons King stared at Ya Ting from a distance. He was frightened by Ya Tings strength. Domain weapon? That was the first time Long Haochen had ever heard of it. However, by the look of the current situation, he could also vaguely guess that Ya Tings domain may be a special form, which used the domain as a weapon directly, but not domains ability. That sword must be her domains weapon. It was likely that this particr evolution took ce because shebined the full energy of both Excalibur swords during her recovery. Long Haochen felt that Ya Tings spiritual power was not much inferior to that of Eastons King. Like Eastons King, she was almost as strong as those at the level nine of rank four, while the Sacred Dragon was likely to be a level nine of rank five. The reason why Eastons King was supposed to level nine of rank five was that Long Haochen saw him suddenly turn into seven colors. He shook his body and quickly avoided the golden sword. At the same time, his tail hit the ridge of the sword so hard that the golden sword flew to one side. Ya Tings body shook slightly, and the huge golden sword in the air became momentarily sluggish. She just had a body. Although the repair had evolved to the level of the King of the Elves, she still hadnt mastered the skill of her body yet. Long Haochen pointed to Ya Ting with his right hand. All of a sudden, the colorful golden light rushed to Ya Ting like a hundred rivers running to the sea. There was a blood bond between him and Ya Ting, along with the strength from the same source. When his domain enveloped Ya Ting, Ya Ting suddenly became full of momentum, with both hands circling and waving in the air. The golden giant sword blossomed into a thousand lines of light and turned into a curtain of swords in the air, forcing the Sacred Dragon that about to rush over to stay low. The Sacred Dragon felt depressed. Although Ya Tings domain weapons were very powerful, in a normal state, it was sure to win this battle over after some time. But Long Haochens domain was too strong for his. After the primary light attributepletely weakened, the Sacred Dragons power had been reduced by at least by a third. Although his body was tough, he dared not to run directly to Ya Tings domain weapons. Therefore, the dragon was suppressed in the downwind momentarily. What worried the Sacred Dragon the most was that Ya Tings offense became increasingly aggressive as well as her mastery of the golden sword and the growth of Long Haochens domain. The Sacred Dragon had no choice but to continually use his domains power. Long Haochen took back his right hand which pointed to the sky. He had already thought of a way to deal with Sacred Dragon, but he didnt expect Ya Tings power to be this strong topete with the Sacred Dragon. That being the case, the hidden triumph cards were in no hurry to be revealed. Who knows if theres a more difficult test for God of Eternal and Creativitys throne awaits? The God of Lights domain fully assisted the domain of Ya Ting, and the Holy Unicorns head was constantly emitting colorful rings of light to enhance the spiritual power of Long Haochen. The Easton World was a world full of vitality, the light essential, and the element of light here was very pure. The Sacred Dragon came here many times because he liked the light element. But at the moment, these elements of light recognized only one master, and that was the domain of Light God. The repression in the domain had prevented the Sacred Dragon from fully exerting its power. Long Haochen and Ya Tingbining their power together, there was nothing that could stand against them. Whilepeting against the golden sword, the eyes of the Sacred Dragon started to solidify, and the deep incantation sound rang up. His voice was very special, which belonged to thenguage of the dragon family. Along with his chanting, the six colors light except for the golden color on its body became more vivid. Compared with the pure light of the Holy Unicorn, the Sacred Dragon had six properties: water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, lightning, and ice. With light, there were seven attributes gathering together. At this time, he couldnt mobilize the power of the light, but he had six other attributes that he could mobilize. With the continuous chanting of Sacred Dragon, the sky seemed to be boiling. Arge number of six-color sparks floated in the air. Dragonnguages magic. Long Haochens face hardened. The Sacred Dragonnguages magic was the most powerful attack in dragon n. In thend of Sacred demons, even themon dragon was rare, let alone the Sacred Dragon. The attack would be terrifying even with one element missing. Long Haochens right hand rose up again instinctively. Brother, let me do it. I can do it. Ya Tings voice sounded unwavering in the ear of Long Haochen. Then, all of a sudden, her body turned into a sh of light and flew towards her golden sword. Ya Tings domain was called the Sword of Kings, which was a pure domain weapon. Domain weapons existed above ordinary artifacts. The most powerful domain weapons could even surpass the power of the supernatural. What was she trying to do? Ya Ting soon answered the question. She turned into a sh of light and her body quietly disappeared on the Sword of Kings. Golden light, a hundred times stronger than before, burst forth. A frightening sword seemed to pierce the sky. The magic of the Sacred Dragon was alsopleted by this time. In the sky, the shadow of six dragons with a body length of more than 1,000 meters emerged, and each dragon spewed out a powerful breath, heading for Long Haochen. Each dragons breath was as good as a super-curse. Six dragons lights and shadowsunched at the same time. Suddenly the colors of Heaven and Earth changed, along with the sun and the moon that seemed to have lost their lights. However, amid this terrifying pressure, the Sword of Kings of Ya Ting suddenly bloated, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a kilometer-long sword. The intention, the soul and the heart of the sword became one in an instant. It was an indescribable force of terror, with a sharpness that Long Haochen had never seen before. If the purple and golden moonlight sword that Hao Yue changed to be was the most powerful sword of destruction, then at this moment, Ya Tings Sword of Kings was the most powerful and grandest! Long Haochen used the aria of the Goddess of Light and the Blue Rain and Hibiscus of Light as weapons for a long time, and it was only fair to say that he had always used these two swords to embody any insight he had about swords. When the two swords were integrated with Ya Ting, all the memories that were attached to the swords infused into her mind. Plus, due to the bond of blood she shared with Long Haochen, her understanding of the swords was much moreprehensive than that of anyone else. It was because she once served as sword spirit! Thousands of golden lights shone in the sky, as if in an instant in the sky appeared numerous golden light, the six terrifying breath were stirred by this golden light and suddenly became a chaos. Meteor shower of swords? This is a meteor shower of swords. Long Haochens eyes widened. Thats right, the Sword of Kings was put to use with the knights skill of meteor shower of swords. But it was also the strongest meteor shower of swords Long Haochen had ever seen. In front of the Sword of Kings, the huge bodies of the six dragons turned into mbs for ughter. The golden light shone, and Ya Tings Sword of Kings made a circle in the air. All of a sudden, on the neck of each dragon, a golden thread appeared. The next moment, they all copsedpletely. The Sacred Dragon was dumbstruck. Even though his dragonnguages magic was not in its best condition as Giant Dragon of Lights was not here, but it was one of his strongest magic, but only to be destroyed by an inferior opponent. Chapter 749 - The Queen of Light Elves (III)

Chapter 749: The Queen of Light Elves (III)

The domain weapons were so powerful. She was clearly below level nine of rank five but why was her domain capable of Domain to be me? In the view of the Sacred Dragon, the fusion of Ya Ting and the Sword of Kings was obviously the characteristics of Domain to be me?. But the fact was Ya Ting not capable of exerting her power for Domain to be me. She turned herself into the spirit of the Sword of Kings, thus to urge the Sword of Kings to burst into its strongest power. It can be said that now her ability was a hundred times, a thousand times erged. After the Sword of Kings broke the magic of the Sacred Dragon, she immediately turned her sword and went after the Sacred Dragon without any dy. The Sacred Dragon became a bit worried, not to mention his sullen heart. Long Haochens domain had too much influence, and Ya Tings domain weapon was so overbearing that even Long Haochen didnt help her. It was because he already felt that he could no longer hold himself together. With a roar, the Sacred Dragon shed and appeared thousands of meters away. Stop now. I did not lose. Its just that both of your domain restrained me too much. Besides, its an unfair fight with two against one. When the golden light converged, Ya Ting went back and stood beside Long Haochen. She nced at the Sacred Dragon with a disdainful look and said, Ive only used half of my power. You cant even stand it. You didnt say you couldnt fight against two. A loser is a loser. As a Sacred Dragon, you dont even have the courage to admit the fact? If Long Haochen had said this, the Sacred Dragon would have been very unconvinced. But from the mouth of Ya Ting, he could not refute it. Eastons King fanned the mes and said, I never thought that the Sacred Dragon would be defeated by an elf. How humiliating. I hope well never see you again in Easton. The Sacred Dragon then said, Shorty, dont be so shameless. Does this elf belong to Easton? Dont tter yourself. Well, I lost. You passed the second test. You can outdo me in domain attributes. Long Haochen nodded to the Sacred Dragon and said, Thank you. The test for the God of Eternal and Creativitys throne was much more difficult than he had imagined, and it was not the same as what Yang Haoyu had told him. In Yang Haoyus description, the test would not be so difficult. It might seem like that Long Haochen passed the test easily, but in fact, if he did not have the domain of the Light God and not havepleted his evolution. With his wisdom, experiences, and the perfectly-timed resurrection of the powerful Ya Ting, Long Haochen passed both tests easily. It could be said that he passed these two tests because he had wisdom, strength, and luck. Of course, it could also be due to providence. The Sacred Dragon nced at Long Haochen and said, Just because you passed my test doesnt mean you will pass the final test. Your domain attributes will no longer have any advantage in thest test. I suggest that you recover your strength as soon as possible, for the final test is about to begin. Upon hearing this, Long Haochens heart was filled with both joy and sorrow. However, he did not hesitate to urge his heart of eternity to speed up the rhythm and at the same time to converge the domain, with the wings spread to the maximum. With the help of the Holy Unicorn, he and Ya Ting worked hard to restore the spiritual power. What worried him was the examination that even Sacred Dragon found very difficult to ovee. What pleased him was that the test had finally about toe to an end. If he could pass thisst test, it meant that he would get the throne of God of Eternal and Creativity. With Long Haochen and the Sacred Dragon reiming their respective territories, the sky became clear again. But in this clear and bright sky, there was a hidden trace of awkwardness. Long Haochen just felt as if he was being stared at, and there was no hint of the voices that had appeared several times before. But the pressure in the air was getting stronger. He did not know what the final test was, but after the fight with the Sacred Dragon, Long Haochen vaguely understood that the most difficult test of God of Eternal and Creativitys throne was not the test of thetters strength, but the first test of human nature and wisdom. It was important to find the right path, especially if one had been misled. Many strong yers who had been tested in the past might fail due to their carelessness. Yang Haoyu told him that he failed the test at least two times without even knowing why. After several attempts, Yang Haoyu finally realized that the key to finding out the truthy in the details: never ignore any details in the test. The experience he offered Long Haochen was a bit of a generalization, but it was a reminder that he got him through two tests in a row. The final test seemed to be about the strength. Only he had no idea how powerful this opponent shall be. While Long Haochen was thinking, a white column of light fell straight down in midair. It was not very big but seemed to be about ten meters in diameter. It appeared fifty meters away from Long Haochen. The clean white color did not any breath or movements. After about three seconds, the light slowly dissipated, and a figure appeared in the air. Eastons King screamed from not so far away, Eternals Angel! It was a woman, tall and slender, with overall simrities to Ya Ting in form. She was also very beautiful. It was a kind of noble and superior beauty, but she seemed to be born with arrogance and it gave people a feeling of nothing but normality. She also had the same twelve pairs of wings, just like as Ya Ting. The difference was that Ya Tings wings were transparent, and her wings were more simr to the human spirit wings, but looked more real. The twelve wings were white and immacte, shining under the sun with a faint and shiny sheen. She looked so noble and holy and no one dared to offend her. The same white dress hung down, in, but it seemed to fit her perfectly, not too much or too little. Golden hair, golden eyes, but no reflecting of lights. She was holding a long white magic wand in her right hand. There were no gemstones on the wand, but just by a look, it immediately caught Long Haochens eyes. Instead of a magic wand, it seemed like he was seeing the sun, moon, and stars. That kind of magnificent feeling that was far beyond Yang Haoyus domain of God of Starry Sky. His heart sank a little, but Long Haochen knew that the woman who was called the Eternals Angel was more terrifying than he thought. Eternals Angel gave Long Haochen a faint look, and her voice was as cold and proud as her appearance. Defeat me, and you will pass the test. As she spoke, she held her wand high and murmured, Lord, lend me your power. The sky, all of a sudden, became white haze, and the endless force of oppression was on Long Haochen. Though he was very close to the Eternal Angel, Long Haochen looked at her as if he felt an endless gulf between him and her. The domain of Light God subconsciously released out, but the seven-colors of golden Light appeared just for a short moment and was immediately covered by the white drizzle rays of Light retrieved and shrank. Long Haochen was horrified to find that his domain of Light God, which had no certain target, was gradually dissipated under the white Light. Although the speed of dissipation was not fast, it was indeed dissipating. It was like Haoyues attack of chaotic elements strip. What is the nature of her domain? Or, no nature? Long Haochen had a thought and tried to keep his domain of Light God outside the body, to feel the intensity of the white Light in contact. Theres no use beating a dead horse. This is the eternal domain of God of Eternal. How can you contend with the light of eternity when you are in the domain of eternity? The light of eternity is the force of chaos, which represses and assimtes all attributes. The Eternal Angel outlined in air with her magic wand, then light and shadow gradually appeared before her. At that moment, Ya Ting came out, and the golden sword appeared once again and went straight to Eternal Angel. She didnt care who she was up against, as long as that opponent was up against Long Haochen, she would help her brother to destroy it. As the Sword of Kings came out, the misty white light in the sky suddenly turned into white light wrapping around it. Although the Sword of Kings was cutting through the white light constantly, her power was rapidly consumed every second as if its trapped in mire. Ya Ting was taken aback and she did not even incarnate a spirit into the sword but quickly took back the Sword of Kings. The scene in which Long Haochen dealt with Eastons King and the Sacred Dragon reappeared, only this time they stood inpletely different positions. Long Haochen was the one who got constrained by the domain. He tried to fight against her by domain, and not before long, his spirit would soon run out. And up until now, he still could not see how powerful Eternal Angels domain was. Brother, take me as your sword, Ya Ting said firmly, and then she sprang to her feet, a sh of gold, and an epee appeared in front of Long Haochen. His domain did not match against the opponents domain, so the only way to break the blockage was by force. Long Haochen had no weapons, so Ya Ting had to turn herself into his weapon. The golden sword was seven feet long and nearly one foot wide. There were 18 edges on the de which made it looked sharp. A piece of sharp edge resided on the ovepping wings that made up the hilt of the sword. From the tip to the hilt, it had a transparent line. Like a long gem, the extreme sharpness of the breath in the line flickered and puffed. Chapter 750 - 0: Eternals Angel (I)

Chapter 750: Eternals Angel (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The Sword of Kings was shining with eight colors, which was even more than the Imperial Weapons seven-colors light. That steady aura even went beyond the purple and golden light from Hao Yue. And the aura it exuded was the purest of the Lord of Light, matching perfectly with Long Haochens domain of Light God. With his right hand raising the colossal sword, Long Haochens body shook slightly. The feeling of blood connection made his breath instantly melt into the Sword of Kings. The eight colors of golden light burst into a curtain of light that isted Long Haochen from the previous white shiny light that had been weakening him and could no longer affect him. At the same time, the Holy Unicorn behind Long Haochen also turned into a rainbow of light and fell on Long Haochen, then again turned into a holy armor covering every part of him. Eh? It can oppose even the Light of Eternity? The Eternals Angel looked at him with surprise. Long Haochen replied, Its true that your chaos attribute might be able to sustain any other attributes. However, if any of these attributes were to be taken to the extreme, its not something your chaos can swallow. My light is the purest light. Maybe my domain is no match for yours. But you cannot weaken me with your domain. As he spoke, Long Haochens six wings pped behind him, and his body was transformed into a golden awn. He appeared in front of the Eternals Angel like a lightning bolt. The Sword of Kings shed in his hand, and thousands of golden lights scattered. This was his Killing Demon sh. Eternals Angels body became illusory. The next moment, she was thousands of meters away. If the domain cant beat you, then just use your own strength. Eternals Angel gave a cold snort and pointed her wand. Suddenly, a huge white lightning spread out in front of her. The white light soared upward, and in a blink of an eye, it had be a thousand-meter tall giant. The giant was white, frozen by the forces of chaos, and was wearing white armor, however without any weapons. Long Haochen grunted, and his body exploded in the air. This time, his face changed. This thousand-meter tall giant unexpectedly gave him the same sense he felt when he was facing up against the God of Devils. Although now he had be much stronger and he still believed in himself to be able topete with this enemy. However, he was a bit scared by the strong. Eternals Angel had the same strength as the God of Devils? The Swords of Kings shed in gold, thick golden lightning with the extremely sharpness went straight to cut that giant. The giant roared once, then his body produced a shockingly explosion sound. White light burst out of him. Long Haochens sword, along with the Sword of Kings shattered. He even used the power of Light of Judgement in his attack. The suppression of the domain, plus the strength of the giant, suddenly Long Haochen felt desperate. The oppressing power of this giant was so strong that even his thoughts felt suppressed. It was a match he could not win. But if so, what was the point of this test for God of Eternal and Creativitys throne? As Long Haochen was thinking, the giant issued a punch. Long Haochens eyes fixed. He was so determined that he had no intention of giving up just like when he almost faced death in front of the God of Devils. No matter how strong his opponent was, he would never back down. While he held the Sword of Kings in both hands, Long Haochens eyes glistened with the divine light. A colorful me suddenly rose up. He was burning his domain. He would not give up even if he has to consume the source. The Sword of Kings and the giants huge fist collided together, and the eight colors of the light shone so brightly that the golden me of Long Haochen burst out in a circle and stroke hardly against the fist. But all of this only tickled the giant, and the next moment, Long Haochens body shot out of the sky. Eastons King gaped at this scene, after Eternals Angel appeared, his seal from the Lord of Nature was lifted ordingly. But by the look of what was happening, the expression in his eyes was merely inconceivable. Old Dragon, how is this even possible? Even if Eternals Angel is stronger than both you and me but I never expected her to be so powerful. The Sacred Dragon exined, What do you know?! This is the God of Eternitys test for that human. The Eternals Angel is temporarily granted the right to control the domain of Eternity. If we were in the Exterior World, she would have done it ten times less. Eastons King was puzzled. If so, then this test is nonsense! Who could win against her like this? The Sacred Dragon replied disdainfully, What are you talking about? I didnt know you were so stupid. Watch it yourself. Eastons King was furious. Damn it, if you say that one more time, Ill smash your ass with a hammer. The Sacred Dragon stared at the battlefield and answered Eastons King angrily. One of its five ws, however, raised its middle finger In the air, Long Haochen only felt the element of light in his body violently shaking as he was flying upside down for several kilometers before stabilizing himself. The physical pain, though intense, surprised him somewhat that he had not yet got seriously injured. Instead, the sharp edge of the Sword of Kings left a deep mark from the huge bare fist. A thought came to Long Haochens mind that the giants attack might not be as powerful as the threat he had shown. The giant did not stop attacking. His right hand raised in the air, and his whole arm turned into a thousand-kilometer-long sword. This huge sword had not yet cut deep underneath the ground, but a deep gully already appeared. Eastons King got greatly distressed. However, he did not dare stop rashly, as this giants strength was too terrifying. Even if both he and the Sacred Dragon were to fight together, they still would not match against the giant. In the air, all the attributes seemed to be activated in just a moment, and Long Haochens body was blocked entirely, he was unable to take any evasive movements. Even if space was all sealed, and also if he had the power to move through spaces, he still could not escape. This feeling was like when he was locked in the tower of devils with three great devils. Long Haochens eyes lit up, his blood was already boiling inside. The battle at the tower was the biggest defeat of his life. He could not bear the pain of thinking about how much his most beloved Caier suffered for his resurrection! The same feeling appeared again, Long Haochens body strength immediately burst out of sublimation, with both hands were holding the Sword of Kings, an intense colorful glow from the Excalibur swords rendered into eight colors, with a diameter of only one meter. Still, the eight-color light was as bright as the sun burst into the sky. Compressed version, the divine Light Waltz. With the Sword of Kings, in between artifact and super artifact, Long Haochen made geometric changes in both the use of the domain and amplification. Bang In the air, the white light fluttered all over the sky, and the magic Light Waltz firmly cut through a third of the kilometer lightsaber with a powerful force. When it hit Long Haochen again, its power was not quite the same as before. The colorful rays of the sun and moon shield turned into a vast shield covering the head. However, the power of the lightsaber was frightening, as it still hit Long Haochen deep ditch into the ground. In midair he spurted out blood. The giant took a step out and stepped directly on the spot where Long Haochen was hit to the ground. But then, suddenly, the light in the sky changed. The first bright sunshine suddenly darkened, the sun inclined to the west, and it seemed that the night came earlier than usual. The Eternals Angel was stunned by the change. However, the foot of the giants de still stomped down severely. The roar of the earth made Eastons King close his eyes. Such a frightful stomp, even if the Long Haochen did not die, he still would be severely damaged. Sun and moonstone? Eternals Angel looked up in the sky doubtfully. The God Stone of Sun and Moon was a treasure, containing the purest essence of the sun and moon in nature. With enough power to urge it, it could change day and night ahead of time, to rece day and night. It had always been one of Eastons greatest treasures, but earlier, the Eternals Angel heard that the stone had been stolen. No one expected it to show up at this moment. It belonged to neither Eastons King nor the Sacred Dragon. Then, obviously, it belonged to Long Haochen. It was at this moment that the mighty and almost invincible giant suddenly shivered. Although he was only shaking, because his body was so small, everyone still could see it clearly. Then a strange light began to spread from the foot of the giant, and his body seemed to bepletely frozen. Red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, ck, and white. A nine-color light was flickering. A soft, yet special ray of light rose upward, and at the same time, the sun and moon in the sky that were alternating also seemed to be frozen in that exact position. The sun and the moon circled and mingled in the air, and the terrifying power of Heaven and Earth made Eternals Angel, the Sacred Dragon, and Eastons King shudder. Even if their strengths were strong, their strength was small when up against the divine power of Heaven and Earth. Even a god could not contend with the power of Heaven because God was born between Heaven and Earth! The nine-color light spread to every corner of the giants body. At this time, the sun and moon in the sky seemed to havepleted the final integration. A massive gold and white two-color light column formed in the sky, it was the perfectbination of sun and moon, with a perfect luster that gathered mes on that thousand-meters giant. Chapter 751 - Eternals Angel (II)

Chapter 751: Eternals Angel (II)

Under the lifeless ze of Eternals Angel, the giants de of light melted away before the divine power of Heaven and Earth. The God of Sun and Moons light rushed as straight as a ramrod down to the ground. A figure was rising in the light. There was no dirt on the sacred armor. He was holding a Sword of King with his right hand. In his left hand, high up above his head, a shining nine-colors glow shield shone brightly. As he absorbed a frantic amount of the light of the sun and moon, his body turned to a mixture of shiny white and gold. Nine colors? The Imperial Weapon? the Sacred Dragon and Eastons King both spoke almost simultaneously. They looked at each other, and they saw fear and shock in each others hearts. The Sacred Dragon was even more scared than Eastons King. If it was used against himself, with just one hit from this Imperial Weapon, he might already be killed. Eternals Angel was even more shocked. She never thought that Long Haochen could destroy the giant of lights with such a strong spiritual power, which was close to the power of demi-gods. Even if it were only the condensation of spiritual forces, the overall strength could exceed those with level nine of rank six. Long Haochen inspired the ultimate power of the Lunar Shield. Moon and suns defense lies in the root of a caring heart, the guide of light, the protection of God. The dawn of daybreak, the sunset nightfall, the turning of the sun and moon, the shield of God. These were the original words left by the God of Moon and Sun. As he was trying to interpret bit by bit, he gradually realized that only at dawn or dusk, when the sun and moon alternated, could the shield exert its full tremendous power. And at least level nine of rank three was required to activate this power. In other words, when Long Haochen reached level nine of rank three, he would have the power to use this super artifact. The white and gold rays of light glinted between Heaven and Earth. Eternals Angels power of chaos seemed to have been greatly affected. And as her body trembled, her terrifying presence equivalent to that of the God of Devils rapidly weakened. The whole Easton world seemed to be elusive under the light of God of Sun and Moon. My friend, please stop. Otherwise, our domain of Eternity will be destroyed, Eastons King told Long Haochen nervously. The gold and white lights slowly converged, and the Lunar Shield did not attack again. The sky gradually darkened. The sun was alternating with the moon. Long Haochen shed with colorful lights in the sky. The Lunar Shields nine colors changed back into seven colors and became a lot dimmer. Ever since the first time he received the God of Sun and Moons stone, Long Haochen could already felt its effect. To be precise, the Lunar Shield gave his heart a hint. At this moment, if he were to use both the God of Sun and Moons stone along with the Lunar Shield and let out a strike, it was sure enough to change the course of events. But he also felt that because of the unusual Lunar rotation, the Lunar Shield would not be able to give off the Imperial Weapons luster again for at least three days. Although the Imperial Weapons radiance had already dimmed, Long Haochen had recovered and was now in his peak state in the light of the sun and moon. Staring at Eternals Angel, Long Haochen recovered in distance and now in his peak state in the light of the sun and moon. Long Haochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. I wonder if I passed your test. Eternals Angels prior aura of nine level summit had beenpletely weakened by this time, and it felt like the aura she emitted now was almost the same as that of the Sacred Dragon. The aura was clearly at the peak condition for Long Haochen, who was still holding the Swords of Kings. She knew she had no chance of winning. Whats more was the radiance of the previous blooming Lunar Shield gave her a great shock. You passed the test. Eternals Angel nodded to Long Haochen. At that moment, the whole of Eastons World suddenly turned to nine colors. Long Haochen was at the center of the nine colors. A cold voice echoed in the air, Wisdom, perseverance,posure, and strength. You have passed three tests of the spirit. From now on, you are the owner of The God of Eternal and Creativity. Eternals Angel will tell you the details of the throne. This great news came so suddenly and yet as he had always hoped. Long Haochens eyes became wet with a dull look. From the first time he saw such a powerful seal of Gods throne until this day, ten years had passed. During the past ten years, he practiced hard and endured many hardships. To this day, he finally had the throne of God of Eternal and Creativity, which had never been used before. At this moment, only a word of excitement could not fully describe his mood: a hard-to-describe carefree feeling, a sort of spiritual approval. He suddenly recalled the time at the Tower of Eternity, thest sentence that God of the Deaths said before he left, picking up stars with hand grasping both sun and moon, there is no one else like me in this world. The darkness eventually broke in the light of Eternity. God of Devils, finally Im entitled to face up to you. In midair, Eternals Angel, the Sacred Dragon, and Eastons King bowed to Long Haochen when his whole body was shining with nine-colors light. The three great yers respectfully said, The guardians of the domain of Eternity pay due respect to their master. Long Haochen hastily replied, The three of you need not to be polite. Please rise. The three of them got up. Eternals Angel then said, Master, are you curious about these three trials? Long Haochen nodded. He had already guessed something but wanted to prove it. The Eternals Angel said, This is the domain of Eternity. I used the domain of Eternity to guard the sky. The God of Dragon guards the ocean and also protects all devil beasts. Eastons King guards the earth. Altogether, we represent a whole world. The world of Eternal and Creativity. This is called the domain of Eternity. And the domain of Eternity itself is the inner domain of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Therefore, if you wish to gain the recognition of the throne, you have to pass tests here. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation is the seat of God of Creation. Its a real artifact. Much more powerful even more than the one in your hand. Your shield can only release the power of a supernatural artifact in a special state. It is barely considered as the Imperial Weapon. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was lost in the stars when the God of Creation divided himself into a hundred gods to control all nes. It followed its own destiny and arrived on this. That is, the ce youre well-acquainted with, the Land of Devils. It had been waiting for a new owner to be born. Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation is the seat of Creation? Long Haochens eyes fixed on them as he listened attentively. The throne grants you the greatest strength, and by having it, its like you are granted a throne by God of Creation, without ever having to worry abouting of God of Bottleneck. Long Haochens heart skipped a beat and said, You said the God of Bottleneck is of million spiritual souls? Eternals Angel nodded and said, Yes. Thest test you had just now is the one million spiritual forces simted by the forces of the domain of Eternity. ording to the instructions of God of Eternity, as long as you hold on for a quarter of an hour under my attack, you would pass the test. But I didnt expect you to defeat my simted power with your Imperial Weapon. Though your Imperial Weapon cannot bepared with the throne of Eternal and Creativity, it is still within the domain of the throne. Long Haochen asked curiously, Then whos the God of Eternity? Eternals Angel said with esteem, The God of Eternity is a trace of the divine thought that the God of Creation had left on his throne. And he is the true master of the domain of Eternity. But he doesnte out often, so he asked me to inform you instead. After youplete all the tasks, then the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations mission in this world isplete. It would follow the fate and proceed to another ce. Long Haochen now fully understood. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation would not always recognize him as its master. It was only lent to him, or the holynd. Thats it! It is the seat of the God of Creation, and how could it be used for himself forever. At this moment, the nine-colors glow in the sky suddenly got intense yet remained calm. A peaceful yet emotionless voice rang up, Long Haochen, go follow karmas guidance. Track down the true reason why six thousand years ago, the devils race descended here, and find out the source that prevented the world from ruin and destruction. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation came when the ne was destroyed and will go with it. You are the chosen one. The test is over. A strong nine-colors glow went up and down in rhythm then formed a circle around Long Haochens body, the next moment, he felt that his whole body was immersed in a special power. It was an endless force of chaos, and this force of chaos seemed to change because of his body. The familiar attributes of light began to appear, and at an rming rate, as his soul and body together grew in the process of growth and creation. Yu Longguan. Long Xingyu and the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group were waiting anxiously. A month has passed since the beginning of the confrontation with the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations aura. But they had not received any news from Long Haochen. Twenty days earlier, Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu hadpleted their tests. With their sealed Divine Thrones, up until now, the Knight Temple unprecedentedly had five knights of Divine Seal. However, Long Xingyu and the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group were not happy at all, because the one that most likely to be the knight of the Divine Seal had not yet returned. He was still under test. It has already been a month. Why hasnt he returned? Maybe theres something wrong? Lin Xin said with a worried look. Chen Yinger gave him a hard look. Shut up! Caier stood beside Long Xingyu, waiting silently. Though she stayed quiet, she felt more anxious than anyone else. Chapter 752 - Eternal Angel (III)

Chapter 752: Eternal Angel (III)

Long Xingyu tried to calm them down and said, Never before has there been a month-long test to win approval from Sealed Divine Throne. Therefore, Haochen had a high chance of passing the test. Dont worry. Even if Haochen cannot get the approval Sealed Divine Throne, there wont be any harm. Reality was that only the other five Sealed Divine Thrones were not going to cause any harm as it was just the other five Sealed Divine Thrones. No one knew exactly how powerful it was, being the first ancestor of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. As Xingyu wasforting everyone, suddenly, everyone instantly felt dizziness. Whats the matter? Everyone here was sensitive enough to feel that something was going wrong. They responded immediately. Then they found that the earth seemed to be shaking together with the whole Yu Longguan. Dont tell me that this is the Earth Dragon turning over? Long Xingyu was overwhelmed with shock. The Earth Dragons emancipation did notmonly ur on thend but was also not something that did not exist either. Moreover, once it happened, considerable damage could ur. Yu Longguan was one of the six great impregnable passes of humankind. If a strong turning over of the Earth Dragon urred, then the blow would be unparalleled. However, the tremor did not intensify. Although the shaking of Yu Longguan shocked everyone, it only shook at a certain degree. Suddenly, a terrifying wave of spiritual power seeped out of the ground without any warning, and then, not far from everyone, the statue that represented the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation suddenly lit up. The pitch-ck sculpture suddenly changed to incredibly gorgeous nine colors, followed by a light columning out from the statue and then levitated up. Strangely enough, the light column did not destroy any buildings, but ran out of the Yu Longs Mountain in a sh, straight into the air. This wonderful scene could even be seen from hundreds of miles away. The brilliant nine-color glow broke through the clouds and flew higher into the sky. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, dont tell me, Haochen, he As he saw the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation glowed up, Long Xingyu felt as if his heart was being pulled tight. No changes had ever shone so brightly to the primordial throne. What does this mean? A dignified aura was diffused from the whole Yu Longguan. A troop of a demon tribe in the distance were shocked. They also saw that nine-colors glow. For them, the dignified aura became a heavy oppression. In the sky, the nine-colors light column gradually expanded. A huge throne about a hundred feet high slowly emerged in the nine-color light column. Its volume was too big. The demon n all saw it clearly. And that pressure was so threatening and terrifying that the low-ranked demons almost got frozen. Due to Yu Longguans special nature, the demon troops that located here were not as weak as the double swords demons. But since the Holy War ended several years ago, a big gap still existed between the demon troops defender that located here now and the one located here more than four years ago. Some of the third-rank demon warriors werepletely paralyzed from the trembling. If the pressure were to keep increasing, it might kill them. The fear was different on the demons side. The strong yers at Yu Longguan were rightpletely immersed in shock. For the six sculptures of the Sealed Divine Throne, almost every knight above rank five, had seen them before. The Knight Temple had always had a knight of Divine Seal. However,pared with a huge ten-foot-high, nine-colors shining throne, the other throne that had once shed countless glories on the battlefield seemed to have dimmed down. The nine-colors light had a special aura. The nine-colors light radiated, but not the slightest confusion was shown. It was so vague. Behind the Sealed Divine Throne, the nine-colors light gradually formed a ring around each other as it was shining. And the thrones body slowly changed its color to a cluster of white jade. The other seal of Gods throne looked like metal. Only this one was made of jade. All the relief was so lifelike. Butpared with the ck sculpture, this shiny white appeared supreme nobility. A figure of light and shadow slowly casted an enormous light at the Sealed Divine Throne in front of him. That light and shadow figure was wearing a nine-color armor and was holding arge golden sword that was shining with eight-color light. The armor covered all the way through his face. However, this outstanding figure was clearly more than five hundred meters tall. Slowly, he sat on the iparable Sealed Divine Throne, as if a true God hade down to earth. At the moment when he sat on Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the formidable and terrifying pressure reached the peak. All the bodies of the warriors of the demon n of rank three or four, instantly burst open and turned into flesh and blood in front of this horrifying pressure,. The great shadow was Long Haochen. At this moment, Long Haochen did not know where he was. He only felt an incredibly great power around him. He once had the sword of life and creation, and he also understood the divine skill of controlling the course of life in the domain evolution. But as he sat on the throne, it seemed as if all his previous insights were of little importance. A real creative idea lingered on his mind, and the eternal thought in his chest gradually became stable. He suddenly understood something. And his practice, because of this Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, slowly leveled up. It wasnt so fast, but his mental realm was also rising. An agreement, mutually harmonized. The thoughts and power of Long Haochen blended with The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation in this wonderful awareness. In the nine-colors light of the Imperial weapon, the knights began to kneel on the ground by one knee one by one with the noblest etiquette to Long Haochen in light air. At this moment, another three streams of light emitted from inside Yu Longguan. The first that appeared, was a golden-red light that immersed the throne with a length of ten, embedded with countless gems. On the back of the throne, there was a person with the appearance of a Buddha that could be vaguely seen, looking so dignified. A terrifying oppression was spreading out from it. Above the back of the throne was a semicircle bright red gem, like a half-round sun overlooking the earth. But its light was a faint orange, and it had an apocalyptic quality. Long Haochen suspended proudly in midair, with the throne of the God of Doom and ughter as his best backdrop. The other two thrones were dark green and pale yellow. They were also ten feet high. The dark green Sealed Divine Throne iid with a total of a thousand and eighty dark green gemstones which formed a strange face pattern, as if it was growling. In the center of the face, there was a girl. The girls face was sad with eyes that could shred tear any moment. That sadness and fear gathered and formed a unique atmosphere. This was the Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness. In addition to the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, which was on another level, this Sealed Divine Throne ranked first among the five Sealed Divine Throne created by humans. At the same time, a man was standing in front of it with his eyes calm andposed. His long hair shawled, and he had an excited and handsome face. He looked in the direction of the throne of Eternity and Creation. Han Yu was a member of Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group, Long Haochens faithful follower, and a retinue knight. At the same time, he was the owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness and was named the Sealed Divine Knight of Destruction and Forgiveness by Knight Temple. The throne of pale yellow had a magnificent yellow pattern which expanded and circled outward, and at its core, there was a huge yellow gem with a length measure of ten. The yellow stone looked like a vertical eye, and inside, there seemed to be a glow of light, shining with wisdom. Behind this yellow throne, Zhang Fangfang stared at Long Haochen and the Sealed Divine throne of Fear and Sadness. Now both he and Han Yu had officially be a Knight Temples Sealed Divine Knight. He was the owner of the Sealed Divine throne of Wisdom and Spirit and was named the Knight Temples Sealed Divine Knight of Wisdom and Inheritance. So far, the Knight Temples six great Sealed Divine Thrones already had their masters. The Knight Temples overall strength had never been stronger. Long Xingyus voice sound rang up the entire Yu Longguan. Twenty days ago, our Knight Temple had an awakening of the Sealed Divine Knight of Destruction and Forgiveness and an awakening of the Sealed Divine Knight of Wisdom and Inheritance. And today, I would like to announce the greatest celebration in six thousand years of the Knight Temple. The throne of our first ancestor, Sealed Divine Throne, has its master atst. He was the first President of the United Temple Federation. On behalf of the Knight Temple, I confer upon him the title of Knight of the seal of Glory and Leadership. From this moment on, he will be the first of the six great knights and the supreme leader of Knight Temple. Yu Longguan became silent under the voice of Long Xingyus efficacious forces, and about three secondster, cheers like an erupting volcano filled the hall. Sealed Divine Knight! Sealed Divine Knight! Sealed Divine Knight! They all shouted the same slogan, for the glory of the Knight Temple. However, the devils troops in the distance were quietly trying to retreat. They had to withdraw because they were too oppressed by the great power of the Sealed Divine Throne and its brilliant nine-colors glow. And they had no idea what kind of damage they would have to suffer. Moreover, the moment themander of the demon n saw the four Sealed Divine Thrones in the sky, he unexpectedly did not recognize the other three. He was aware that they were not in a good situation. He then quickly sent out a scout that return to the home front, to rm the God of Devils of this event. Long Haochen could feel the Yu Longguans cheers, but at that time he could not respond because his entire body was in sublimation Chapter 753 - The Dragons Throne (I)

Chapter 753: The Dragons Throne (I)

The spiritual power and domain kept rising, and the domain of Light God was merging with the power of the domain of Eternity. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation fully reflected its powerful power as an Imperial Weapon. Its aura was far more powerful than that of any other Sealed Divine Throne. Ding A crisp melodious sound spread thousands of miles. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation under Long Haochens body suddenly divided into thirteen groups of white glows that rose in the sky. The moment they rose into the air, the suns rays in the sky were suppressed entirely and dimmed. It seemed to be gone, and thirteen new suns took its ce. Long Haochen looked up into the sky and raised both hands. He gave out a zealous shout, Fall, my eternal stars! The thirteen constetions of eternal stars shone with incandescence, came down from the sky, and rapidly melted into the body of Long Haochen one by one. His body, which was 500 meters high, was significantly reduced after each of them vanished into the body. By the time the thirteen eternal stars had fully merged with his body, he had grown back to his normal size and no longer felt illusory. Everything was back to normal. Long Haochen was still in his sacred armor, Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation in the air waspletely gone. Long Haochen pounded his left chest and bowed to all the Yu Longguans knights as a knight ceremony, his right hand lying horizontally in front of his chest. A resounding voice neatly rose from the Yu Longguan. This was the response from not only the knights but also three Sealed Divine Knights in the air. From this moment on, Long Haochen was not only the President of the new federation but also the Knight Temples unprecedented glory and leader Sealed Divine Knight, ranking first among all six Sealed Divine Knights. Dad, Ive seeded. Long Haochen looked at Long Xingyu, and as Long Xingyu looked at him, he saw that Long Haochens eyes were a little dull, but also full ofplex luster. There was gratification, excitement, and unclear emotions. Once Han Yu and Zhang Fangfangpleted their responses, the two rushed to where Long Haochen was. They held him high and threw him into the air, while each of them took back their sacred thrones. However, Long Haochen did not cooperate with the two good brothers that wanted to celebrate. He returned to their side in a sh, and as he said something in a low voice, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang both looked very surprised. They three bowed to Long Xingyu, then quickly returned to Yu Longguan. Long Xingyu didnt know what was going on. He followed and went back together with them. Although the four Sealed Divine Knights did not stay long, the shock they brought to Yu Longguan enhanced the morale of the Knight Temples people unprecedentedly. Caier. As soon as Long Haochen returned, he couldnt wait to call out to her. Caier rushed into his arms like a swallow, holding him tightly, but she could not utter a word. Not soon after, they entered into their most intimate rtionship that Long Haochen disappeared for a month. What a torment to her heart! She kept herself strong because she didnt want her teammates to panic. After all, when Long Haochen was not here, she was the deputys head. But when her lover finally seeded and returned, these pent-up emotions could no longer be restrained. Long Haochen hugged Caier tightly and gently stroked her long hair while the others turned away. Long Haochen patted Caier on the back, and said, Im sorry, everyone. Ive been taking too long to pass the tests. But Im afraid we need to act now. Hao Yue could not suppress his own breakthrough. And the attack to bottleneck already started. We have to get over it before its toote. A while ago, everyone was immersed in the excitement and joy of Long Haochens return, but as they listened to what he said, their faces suddenly became serious. They had been with Long Haochen and had faced the undead from Hao Yue several times. They were well aware of the horrors of the undead. In particr, each time Hao Yue evolved, the enemy became more powerful. There was this one time in particr when Hao Yues evolution was about to be aplete sess but then was interrupted. which caused great damage. Hao Yues power could destroy the demon pirs, and its evolution was essential to the entire Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group. Boss, were ready, Lin Xin said proudly. By his appearance, it was obvious that he had made some progress. Although everyones faces were serious, after they heard Long Haochens speech to fight, their eyes were full of excitement, including those of Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang. The army of the dead was strong, but the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group was not the same as before, especially since everyone had changed the outfits to an epic level, ready for a big fight! They wanted to feel the power of their new weapons. Caier also stood up straight from the arms of Long Haochen, her charming face turned slightly red. She said nothing. Long Haochen turned to Long Xingyu and said, Dad, my mount is another creature that is on the verge ofpleting its evolution but also might be at itsst evolution. I want to bring myrade to protect it, and to help itplete its evolution. Long Xingyu never thought that his son that had just finished the test for the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation would leave so soon. He felt so worried and asked, Can your body withstand it? Long Haochen said, You can rest assured that I am at the top of my game, and there will be no problem. Well be back soon. It shouldnt take long. Long Xingyu nodded his head and said, Make sure to be safe. Long Haochen smiled, full of confidence. Not only hisrades were confident about the uing battle, but he was also confident! With the Lunar Shield and the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, two of the Imperial Weapons, even in the face of the God of Devils, he had the confidence to fight with them. Whats more, he was still in the process of merging with God of Eternal and Creativitys throne, and his practice had been continuously improving. At the current fusion speed, he would surpass level nine of rank four after the processpleted. The purple and gold ray of light shone on Long Haochens forehead, and the nine purple and gold lines shone with a unique and mysterious brilliance. Long Haochens bosom shed light continuously, as nine glows fell on hisrades, respectively. This was the ability of the epic team equipment of blink domain power that they purchased at the demon hunt trade center. Under the influence of the domain of blink, each member of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter had a silver ring around their feet. Then, the purple and gold color grain that shone on Long Haochens forehead instantly blended into silver and white of the domain of blink. The next moment, the domain of blink had turned entirely into purple and gold. Chapter 754 - The Dragons Throne (II)

Chapter 754: The Dragons Throne (II)

The light shed again, with Long Haochen in the center, the gleams under everyones feet also became brighter. Space was cut open, and then everyone was gone without a trace. Long Xingyu was also the Sealed Divine Knight. Of course, he knew clearly that what Long Haochen just did was very difficult. The domain of Blink could only strengthen their connection. But the capability to transport together all at once was Long Haochens power! It was the power to warp across space while carrying nine otherrades. Even with coordinate circumstances, it was too risky. The knight of Starry Skys seal, Long Haoyu, still did not dare to do so! Long Haochen was not afraid of nature. The seal of God of Eternal and Creativitys throne possessed the ability to travel through space. Additionally, his current practice as well as the mastery of his domain had reached a new level. All into the space after turbulence, Long Haochens body immediately sent out a ring of bright white jade luster. That bright white shade enveloped all bodies. No impact, just a few breaths of time, they had once again traveled through space and arrived inside of Hao Yue. There was a sh of white light. At the same time, Long Haochen and hisrades were separated from the spaces shuttle. Even though they were prepared, they were still surprised when they saw what was happening. Everywhere they looked, there were dead creatures, not just on the ground, but also in the air. It was as if the entire space had been filled with undead creatures. Hao Yue, this time did not evolve in the cave, but quietly crept above a hill. Strong purple and golden lights on its body faintly discernibly shed. Any undead creature that came within a hundred meters of its body would instantly be turned into a purple and golden me, and soon there was nothing left to burn. The sudden appearance of Long Haochen and hisrades, altogether ten people, naturally attracted the attention of the undead. At first, there were only undead creatures that attacked them. At least a thousand flying devils puppets were spitting dark green crescent lights. At this time, there were attacks from all sides. Although there werent any king-level strong creatures, there were four or five-rank undead creatures. And they had only just arrived. Hao Yue attack had not yet fullyunched. Long Haochen lifted his left hand. Ayer of colorful golden light that soon turned into a huge curtain of light took away everyone, including Hao Yue. A green ray of the crescent moons light bombarded the seven-colors light greatly and no trace of any ripple appeared. The purple and golden light that shed from Hao Yues body dimmed for a few minutes. Then, Long Haochen received its fluctuated state of mind. Because of Long Haochen and the others arrival, it wholeheartedly wanted to break through the bottleneck. Initially, Hao Yue could suppress its breakthrough, and it would have not been so urgent. But after devouring the sapling of the Tree of Destruction, its power reached a critical point in an instant. Its strength could no longer contain the breakthrough. Hao Yues message to Long Haochen was simple, this breakthrough would take a long time. Hao Yue did not say anything more, as it trusted Long Haochenpletely. Although the attacks of the flying devils puppets were numerous, they were nothing in front of the Lunar Shield. Long Haochen had been in the process of merging with the throne after passing the tests for the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. He hade here immediately he was still holding the great golden sword with an eight-colors glow. At this moment, he smiled at hispanions and said, I would like to introduce my friend to you. While he was speaking, he lifted the Swords of Kings, and a sh of golden light came out and 12 wings spread wide. Ya Ting, in human form, appeared in front of everyone. They all looked at her and couldnt help but became stupefied as they had never seen a woman this stunning before. Ya Ting had inherited the body of the Moon Goddess. Plus. her qualities such asplexion and personality, were not a bit less beautiful than those of Caier. When Caier saw her, she looked slightly confused and then looked at Long Haochen puzzled. But she had no doubts. Emotionally, Caier wholeheartedly trusted Long Haochen. They couldnt love anyone else. Long Haochen took Caiers hand and said to Ya Ting, You still havent seen your sister-inw. Ya Ting smiled, bowed to Caier, and said, How do you do? I am Long Ya Ting. Everyone looked at them with embarrassment. Lin Xin could not help but spoke in Si Matians ear, Eldest Brother is so bold toe back and bring a girl to greet deputys head directly. Si Matian nodded with full agreement. Hes better than us like always Chen Yinger burst out augh and said, You two talk nonsense. Be careful, Caier might pick up on you guys. Is the Eldest Brother that kind of person? Long Ya Ting Long Ya Ting Sounds a little familiar. Caier at this time was looking at the stunning woman in front of her with a surprised face, You are Outside the army of the undead was pushing the border. Long Haochen did not want her to guess any longer, he smiled. Its Ya Ting! When the God of Devils killed me, her elemental body was broken, and only a trace of her soul was attached to the Sword of Life and Creation. When I was being tested by the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the Sword of Life and Creation was broken. Her present form is from the Moon Goddess domain of eternity. This body of Ya Ting originally had a dark attribute, so I changed it with my blood. My blood is flowing inside her body, then I let her follow my surname. Now I have one more sister. Everyone was suddenly enlightened. So, Long Ya Ting was actually the element elf Ya Ting! Chen Yinger said with an envious face, Ya Ting, your wings are truly beautiful. Long Haochen said, Ya Ting, Lin Xin, bring it out. The undead creatures kept increasing, and their ranged attacks focused on the Lunar Shield. Long Haochens energy was consumed rapidly. Lin Xin and Ya Ting nodded at the same time. Lin Xin raised with his right hand and lit up a clump of orange light. Then her eyes, full of orange light, turned into a huge staff as long as two meters. The fiery red stone at the top of the staff was the size of a human head. It looked less like a staff and more like a wand. This staff had an imperious name: The Fire of Immortals Dragon. Chapter 755 - The Ten Sovereign Kings (I)

Chapter 755: The Ten Sovereign Kings (I)

Lin Xin looked very eye-catching. He was wearing a golden-red gradient of the sacred fire of praise and holding the Fire of the Immortal Dragon. Of all the fire mages in the world, perhaps, none could match him in terms of their weapon. Two pieces of immortal weapons is equivalent to two pieces of the Imperial Weapons! Holding the Fire of the Immortal Dragon high in the air, Lin Xin casted spells continuously. His speed was very fast with a special rhythm. The glowing red light from the Fire of Immortal Dragon was at its peak. Inside the seven-colors light that covered the entire ce was a ming red color. The world of Hao Yue was ck and red. Although Lin Xins chanting was under the Lunar Shields protection, as the spell continued, the fiery element began to rise from the cracks in the ground whereva flowed. All of a sudden, several low-rank undead creatures immediately fell into the magma and turned into ashes. While Lin Xin was chanting spells, Ya Ting also started to attack. When Ya Ting was still a light element elf, she relied on magic entirely. Now that she was the Queen of Light Elves, her domain determined the direction of her power. A finger from her right hand was pointing forward, and a golden me of eight colors rose up all over her body. In a sh, it went out of the protection area of the Lunar Shield. A huge golden sword appeared in front of her, and its size inted sharply against the wind, growing to a length measure of one thousand meters. Ya Tings both hands formed a circle, the void golden sword swept across. Suddenly, the sky full of undead creatures became clear. So strong. Si Maxian was taken aback. Not only him, but also others who were watching this scene were also dumbfounded. The power of the attack that Ya Ting unleashed was more superior than them at this point, even though Ya Ting didnt have any equipment! Of course, they didnt know that Ya Tings ability was somewhat simr to that of Qiu Yonghao, the master of the Warrior Temple. She did not need any assistance of weapons. Those lower-ranks undead creatures could not withstand the Sword of Kings. Ya Ting ced her hands in front of her chest, constantly changing gestures. The Sword of Kings was already crisscrossing in the sky, abundantly sweeping in all directions following the order of her gestures. With each stroke of the sword, thousands of undead turned into flying ash. The pressure against the Lunar Shield was greatly reduced within a very short time. Sister Ya Ting, leave me some! Lin Xin spoke with an anxious voice. His spell waspleted. Only the top of Lin Xins head could be seen. There was a great round of fierce sun. Wasnt this the Holy Suns spell made by his grandfather? However, Lin Xin and Lin Chen were different. His round of fierce sun over his head was blue, with a blue me at its core. At this moment, even the Fire of the Immortal Dragon had be the same blue color under the rendering of this me. The zing sun rose slowly. It was getting bigger and bigger. It was only a moment before it was ten times the size of Lin Chens spell. The temperature inside the Lunar Shield increased rapidly that Si Maxian, who was closest to him, smelled burned. Without waiting for others to step away, Lin Xin stepped out, just like Ya Ting before, out of the cover. The difference was that he was above the shield, not in front of it. A sneer appeared at the corners of Lin Xins mouth. You dont have a sun in this world, so I will give you one. As he spoke, the Fire of the Immortal Dragon pointed up. All of a sudden, the great sun rose from the sky. During the ascent, a blue pir of fire fell from the sky and enveloped Lin Xin. Within the blue glow of the holy sun, all the cracks in the magma burst out in an instant and spewed out huge amounts of magma within a radius of dozens of miles. It became a sea of fire immediately. Si Maxian was surprised and said, Why did Youyao brother disappear? He couldnt possibly y with fire and get burnt by the me, right? Han Yu grinned and said, You should wish him something better. Lin Xin also understands the domain. And hes in the imitation domain for me! This Holy Suns spell is indeed magical. Grandpa Lin would be proud of him if he knew that he carries on the spell that he studied before. The eruption of magma immediately caused a lot of undead creatures to panic. Even the six and seventh-rank undead creatures wouldnt let magma fall on them. For a moment, the pace of their attacks slowed down. When that magma erupted, the concentration of fire in the air rose sharply. Around Lin Xins head, the sun began to shrink in circles, and the light of the sun became even hotter. Mages excelled at using the power of Heaven and Earth. Sorcerers had domains that could give terrifying attacks in a battlefield with numerous enemies. Lin Xins attack began. A seemingly small blue Mars began to fly out of the Holy Sun. These Mars were small when they first appeared, but as they flew, they rapidly absorbed fire element from the air and grew in size at an rming rate. When they hit the ground or the air, they turned into meter-wide fireballs. It was the Holy Suns spell of Meteor Shower of mes. A terrifying roar began to break out in the ck and red world, and in the deafening roar, great amounts of the undead creatures fell off like wheat being reaped. Ya Tingpletely wiped out all the undead creatures nearby, but Lin Xins attack advanced a lot further. Each me meteor that fell from the sky could explode a huge piece ofnd with a diameter of one hundred meters, and there was more magma that poured out from the ground. It seemed as if Lin Xins meteor shower of mes were endless. In the frenzied bombardment, the hill where Long Haochen and others were located at gradually turned into an ind in a sea of fire. Long Haochen felt much more confident seeing Lin Xin and Ya Ting bursting out such fighting power. In the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, the strong and powerful Long Haochen was not alone. But he also knew that the battle had just begun and that the truly powerful undead had yet toe, such as the Witch King, who had summoned a dragons corpse. Looking through the mes and further away, Long Haochens heart suddenly sank. Under the attack of Lin Xin and Ya Ting, the undead creatures were decreasing at an rming rate. But in the distance, more dead creatures wereing this way. It was overwhelming. Can it be that, because of Hao Yues evolution, all the undead creatures are transferred to this world? He looked back at Hao Yue. At this time, it crept there like a statue. Purple and gold scales covered its whole body. Six big heads entwined together. One could feel a special kind of peace by looking at it. My dear brother, no matter how hard it is, I will take care of you and will never let your six-heads evolution be interrupted. At this time, a pressure appeared in the distance. This pressure was not from one direction, but from all sides at the same time. Lin Xins Holy Sun that was uniquely bright before, immediately dimmed down in front of this terrifying pressure. Even the domain of the Holy Sun, which he had justprehended, could not cope with this pressure, and he had to break off the attack and fall back under the protection of the Lunar Shield. Compared with Lin Xin, Ya Tings practice level was a lot stronger. Looked far away into the distance, the Sword of Kings returned high up in the air. Here ites. The real enemy finally appeared. The ck sky changed with the terrifying breath and gradually became indistinct gray. A great oppressive feeling made the whole space even twisted slightly. In the distance, the army of undead creatures that had been advancing suddenly stopped. Even the flying undead creatures that soared through the air quickly fell back to the ground. They were kneeling, prostrate on the ground reverently. And from different directions, nine lights shadow appeared. Long Haochens eyes narrowed. Ya Ting, get back here. Long Ya Tings body shed, and the Sword of Kings returned to her as she fell back under the Lunar Shields protection. Long Haochen murmured, Nine groups of light, but ten groups of auras. The weakest of them had more than two hundred thousand spiritual powers. Im afraid that the strongest has a psychic power of about seven hundred thousand. These guys must be the master of this world of Hao Yue. They must also have sensed that Hao Yue was at the end of its evolution, this time in full force. Though Long Haochens voice was not loud, every one of hisrades heard it clearly, yet no one looked nervous at all! Ten strong undead creatures with their practice level altogether more than twenty thousand, which already surpassed them. Moreover, this world was a world of the undead. To recover their spiritual strength could cause a big trouble. But were they afraid? Back when they helped Long Haochen out of the eternal tower, they had no fear in their hearts. The enemy was strong, but they had confidence in themselves. And they even had more faith in Long Haochen. He was a Sealed Divine Knight of glory and leadership! With the approval of the Imperial Weapon. They strongly believed that they would be able to hold on until the moment of sess, no matter how strong the enemy was. The nine figures gradually became clearer. Long Haochen took a nce and saw the Witch King that came to disturb the previous evolution of Hao Yue. Though he was still invisible, the aura of Witch King seemed to get stronger. She suspended in midair and there seemed to be a myriad of moaning spirits around her. Even though her aura was so strong, among nine figures, the Witch King could not even rank in the top three. Long Haochen nced at the Witch King. Then hended in front of a vague shadow, where two powerful aurasbined together. Chapter 756 - The Ten Sovereign Kings (II)

Chapter 756: The Ten Sovereign Kings (II)

The first thing that could be seen was a special bone dragon. Its color was a strange mix of blue and white. The bone of this dragon was white, but it was covered with a bright blue color. A tough skeleton with a huge pair of wings. The aura of the bone dragon was dark and intense, spreading in circles. The eyes of the bone dragon glowed with a pale blue me. There was a man shrouded in ck armor on the dragons back. This mans height was more than two and a half meters. He sat there quietly while holding an epee longer than his height in his right hand. The epee glowed with a brilliant dark purple light. It was his aura that made Long Haochen look grave. This was not just an ordinary knight with bone dragon as his ride but a knight riding on the Bone Dragon King. The Bone Dragon King alone had a power of over three hundred thousand. Like Long Haochen had s this mans spirit power might be even more than seven hundred thousand. In addition to him and the Witch King, other undead creatures were also from the superior race. One was the Skeleton King, who was over thirty meters tall with a body that was made of shing white jade. Another was the Cave Spider King, who had a twenty-meters-ck-and-purple body with spots of gray and six pairs of long stranded legs. Next was the Zombie King, who was five meters tall and had a dull golden glow. He was godless and stiff-limbed. The fourth was the King of Loathe, who was at least hundreds of meters tall,rgest among all ten. His waist was wider than the length of his height, so he was fat and pale. The fifth was the King of me, who had a body entirelyposed of dark green mist that unceasingly shrieked. The sixth was the Shadow King, who had a bodypletely ck and elusive like a shadow. It was almost impossible to see his five features. The seventh was the King of Hells me, who was a hundred-meter-tall. He was thinner but looked stronger than the King of Loathe. His whole body was made of shining purple stones. Including the knight on the bone dragon, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was facing with the ten strongest sovereign Kings! In the vast gray sky, the ten Sovereign Kings slowly approached nearby. Beneath them were endless different races of the undead creatures armies. Endless soldiers were marching on. Why? Why all of you want to protect the Austin and Griffins evolution? Do you not know that it is the symbol of ruin and destruction? Get out of the way, powerful men from another world. Otherwise, today will be yourst day. I am the Knight of Judgement. My words represent all of the ten Sovereign Kings opinions. In a sh of light, Long Haochens holy armor turned into a Holy Unicorn. He rode on the unicorns back and looked at the Knight of Judgement. He coldly said, I dont know what you are talking about. Hao Yue is my partner, my brother. If you wish to interrupt its evolution, then youre my enemy. The Knight of Judgements eyes were violently throbbing with a dark purple me. The auras of the other nine Sovereign Kings suddenly became stronger. Heavy oppression came from them continuously as they roared. They had already witnessed Lin Xin and Ya Tings strengths in this world before. Otherwise, the Knight of Judgement couldnt had referred to them as the powerful men. They knew that numerous amount of low-rank undead creatures had no effect against them. Only they could ovee these powerful group of people. Long Haochen said with a deep voice, Wenzhao, Duan Yi, you two stay by Hao Yues side. Beware of any other undead creatures attacks. Others look out for the enemy here. The Knight of Judgment is mine. Dont try to fight the opponent. Just try to stall for time while keeping yourself safe as long as possible. All we have to do is give Hao Yue some time to finish the evolution. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group plus Ya Ting were eleven people in total. Without Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, there were nine people left. Nevertheless, there was still a huge gap between their levels. Even though the power of The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was superior, the overall strength of the enemy was too high. Long Haochen also did not want any coteral attacks, so they had to stay apart in the battlefield. A silver glow appeared at the feet of all members. It was the domain of blink. Due to the interlink between spirit and the domain of blink, Long Haochen was assured that his teammates would be safe. Just like how the ten Sovereign Kings knew that the lower-rank undead creatures were not a threat to him, Long Haochen also knew that their defense alone would notst that long if they let the opponents attack. Not everyone in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was good at defense, so erging the battlefield was the only way to distribute the fire power. Long Haochens opponents were the Knight of Judgement and the Bone Dragon King. These two powerful kings were considered as the backbone of the ten Sovereign Kings. Their spiritual strengthsbined together could almost reach a million. Though a great pressure would fall on Long Haochen, this might be the best opportunity for him to test hispatibility with the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. After all, without an opponent this strong, how could he bring out his full potential? As Long Haochen flew out, the Holy Unicorn was still there and had not change back to the Holy Shield yet. Its glistening wings spread out and its horn covered with a soft seven-colors glow. The Holy Unicorn kept making weird noises as if it were singing. Though, the singing was not as clear as the Sacred Dragons magic. After seven seconds, the Holy Unicorn transformed into seven-colors holy light and tried to catch up with Long Haochen as he was about to face the enemy. The Holy Unicorn vanished and turned into a ne of glittering colorful glow around Long Haochens neck. Pure light elements spread throughout his whole body. He had fully leveled up. As Long Haochens power grew stronger, the Holy Unicorn could only help him a little. If he were to be an armor or weapon, he would no longer be the best option for Long Haochen. It used its shape to turn into a ne to increase Long Haochens power. The Holy Unicorn was in the ninth stage, which was equivalent to an Imperial Weapon. The Holy Unicorn also derived its own domain when Long Haochen got his Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The Holy Domain transformed all attributes into divine light. It might seem like a simple transmutation ability, but the domain consumption of Holy Unicorns was very minimal, and in this light-deficient world, it was extremely important. As a result, when the Holy Unicorn became a ne and it exuded the power of the Holy Domain. Long Haochens face was full of surprises. As the Knight of Judgement watched the enemies scattering to each of the ten Sovereign Kings, he knew there was no point in negotiating. Only by killing these enemies from the other world could he stop the terrifying Austin and Griffin from evolving. Long Haochens six wings that pped behind him shed golden light stronger than before due to the power of the Holy Unicorns ne. Along with his handsome face, he looked remarkable. But when the Knight of Judgement saw him advancing towards him, the fire of soul leaped in his eyes, with an aura of disdain. Since his practice level was the strongest, he could sense that Hao Yues evolution would be done in no time. However, he could not rest assured yet because if the process was interrupted for one second before the evolution, it could still bepletely destroyed. The Bone Dragon King roared and spat an ice blue spit straight to Long Haochen. As the Bone Dragon King and the Knight of Judgementmunicated via their feelings, the Bone Dragon King knew that Long Haochen still had not yet reached a level nine of rank four, which was not much higher than the Bone Dragon King. So, if speaking about body alone, the Bone Dragon King was obviously the superior one. In front of the Bone Dragon Kings breath, Long Haochen did not dodge. Instead, he raised the Lunar Shield with his left hand, which then shed seven-colors light and turned to a two-meter shield that protected Long Haochens body entirely. The ice blue breath bombarded the seven-colors Lunar Shield, and suddenly a circle of ice blue fog broke out around Long Haochens body. The temperature dropped sharply. There was a lot of ice in the air. Even the Lunar Shield in Long Haochens hand was covered with ayer of crystal-blue ice. A powerfulbination of dark and ice spells. This was the Bone Dragon Kings talent magic. The Moon Goddess, Sisi could not do betterpared to the Bone Dragon Kings power. The Bone Dragon King spat again as its huge body rushed towards Long Haochen. At the same time, the Knight of Judgement also drew out his great purple and ck sword. Waves of ck mist surged up into a hideous ghostly face behind him and suddenly a terrifying weight burst, and all the space around Long Haochen turned to a piteous hissing of darkness. The domain of Light God let out a golden glow that diffused from Long Haochen. The pure light element immediately dispelled the darkness around his body. At the same time, ayer of bright white glow from Long Haochens body mixed with Light Gods seven-colors glow and went directly towards the Knight of Judgement and the Bone Dragon King. The two Kings of this world, the Knight of Judgment of the dead and the Bone Dragon King were slightly startled when the bright white light appeared, because they felt an indescribable fear. The fire of my own soul seems to be under a great threat. Whats this aura? Chapter 757 - The Ten Sovereign Kings (III)

Chapter 757: The Ten Sovereign Kings (III)

The Knight of Judgment also did not just stand still. He pointed the great sword in his hand to the air and released his own domain. The ck and purple glow diffused and enveloped him and the Bone Dragon King. The two domains collided violently in the air. Hiss There was a great deal of mist in the air. Though not colliding, it seemed like fire and ice were fighting with each other. In a distance, the ck and purple glow mixed with seven-colors golden fog rose. The ck and purple glow was suppressed by the seven-colors golden light. The amount of ck and purple glow that was consumed was three times more than that of the seven-colors golden light. Domain repression. When light and darkness confront, it should be equal. And since the Knight of Judgments practice level was higher than that of Long Haochen, he never thought that he would lose in domain collision. The fact that his domain was suppressed by that of Long Haochen meant that Long Haochens domains power was much higher than his domains power. But Long Haochen was still not at ease. The domain of Light God was far superior than the Knight of Judgments dark domain. But again, Long Haochen was substantially inferior in practice level. The Knight of Judgment was level nine of rank seven. The first and strongest in this world. The Knight of Judgments domain was a level inferior to Long Haochens domain of Light God. But with the Knight of Judgments practice level, he was three-level superior than Long Haochen overall. Therefore, Long Haochen did not take the collision of domains as his advantage. Also, the Knight of Judgment was riding the Bone Dragon King with the same practice level! Roar, roar, roar The Bone Dragon King growled and spat out three ice blue spit at the same time, not at Long Haochen, but, in the air. Ice blue rays shot from each of his spit and connected the fulcrum formed by his three breaths. Then, Long Haochens body suddenly felt extremely chilled. In the middle of the ice blue triangle, a dark blue and ck hole appeared. The blue color flickered a little, and the next moment, a dark blue light as big as an arm was shot towards Long Haochens chest. A domains skill/ This was the skill of the Bone Dragon Kings domain. Long Haochen did not waste any time. He released ayer of the silver-white glow of light from his body. An aura that towered into a column of white light suddenly burst out from his body. Then, in the void, an intense me of seven-colors light spewed out from the bright white column of light. The me contracted rapidly in the air, and when it touched the Bone Dragon Kings domains ice blue ray, the ice blue-ray shrunk to the same size as before. Boom! Lightning shed all over the sky. The Bone Dragon Kings ice blue triangle broke instantly, and the colorful light in the air turned intoyers of seven-colors luster and spread out. At the same time as the luster of white gems light column appeared, the area of Long Haochens domain of Light God suddenly zed and the magnitude of his domain was overwhelming. The Knight of Judgment, who was ready to attack, was surprised and had to force his domain to fight against Long Haochens domain again. A huge glittering white throne appeared in the void and released a magnificent nine-colors light. There were many tiny relief sculptures everywhere on the back of the throne which gave off an indescribable aesthetic feeling. On top of the throne were the sun, the moon, and the stars. In the middle were birds and animals connected to the seat. It was a scene of nature. Along with the thrones pair of armrests, was the statue of the Sacred Dragon and the twelve-wing angels. As soon as the throne appeared, a circle of nine-color glow released. The undead creatures below were still too far away and did not get affected directly. However, when it appeared, the ck and red world seemed to be purified and the air became much cleaner. Long Haochens body was suspended in front of the throne. This was the first time he had invoked the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. It was a wonderful feeling, like having an invincible backer. No matter how strong the enemy was when the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared, all the pressure soon disappeared. The Knight of Judgment and the Bone Dragon King were shocked. The aura that emanated from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was too frightening. The fire of all the undead creatures souls trembled violently, including the strong Knight of Judgment. The thrills made them all want to run away. But they could not run. Austin and Griffin were about toplete the evolution, once it was modified for the next ascension. Then, no one could restrain it in this world. At the same time, all the undead creatures also chose to fight because if Austin and Griffins evolution waspleted, then everything would be destroyed sooner orter. Long Haochen calmly said, Knight of Judgment, I have no intention of making you my enemy. As long as you go back and promise not to disturb Hao Yues evolution any longer, we will not hurt any of you. The Knight of Judgment coldly said, If we retreat, we would all be dead anyway. If you think you can stop us with the Imperial weapon, then youre wrong. Thisnd has been covered with darkness and fire, and we are the true masters in this world. As he spoke, the fearful Knight of Judgment raised his great ck and purple sword and let out an angry roar. The next moment, the Knight of Judgment was swept up by the dark air below. His aura grew stronger. In front of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he exuded a strong indomitable will. With the help of his subordinates, he stabilized the fire of his soul. The Bone Dragon King also roared andunched an attack once again with the Knight of Judgment towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen had no choice but to fight back, as his words did not work at all. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation instantly transformed into thirteen masses of white light, which broke down behind Long Haochen. Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The attack of the Knight of Judgment and the Bone Dragon King also slowed down greatly in this strange time shift. The white light flowed into Long Haochens body like rivers running towards the sea. The first group of white light fell on Long Haochens chest and suddenly a huge transparent stone appeared. It was as if a whole round gem had been cut into two parts, one on his chest and the other on his back. The gemstone was nearly half a foot in diameter and it covered most of Long Haochens chest. When the tessetion wasplete. Immediately, a brilliant white light spread around, turned into a special metal that covered the front and back of Long Haochen. The metal showed a pattern of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the imprint of countless strange textures. The second group of white light fell on Long Haochens head. It turned into a bright white crown, crown with nine precious stones, respectively shining red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, ck, and white, a total of nine colors of light. The nine colors shone nobly and exuded an absolute dominance atmosphere. The crown tied Long Haochens golden hair behind his head, and when it fell on his head, a bright white mask fell down. His eyes turned into two golden gems that shone brilliantly. Along with the mask, Long Haochen looked extremely majestic. The white light of the third and fourth groups fell on Longs shoulders, respectively, and the bright white light spread down perfectly with the breastte ne. The left shoulder te was as huge as a dragons head, and the right shoulder te was the statue of the twelve-wings angels. It was exactly the same as the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations armrests. The white armor reached all the way up to Long Haochens arms and hands. It was engraved with a fine pattern of countless creatures. Sincere there were too many species of living things, it was impossible to see the details of the pattern without a closer look. It was gorgeous and noble. The fifth white light fell on Long Haochens waist, and his armor was in the shape of fish scales. There was an inscription on each scale. The waist armor spread downward and was derived from the pleated wardress. The wardress seemed to be coiled around the Sacred Dragons design into a hovered glittering glow. The sixth and seventh rays fell on Long Haochens legs respectively. It was embossed with countless nts that covered Long Haochens legs and feet entirely. Long was nowpletely enveloped in the armor of Eternity. The eighth and ninth rays fell behind him as the eternal card covered his back. Long Haochens six golden wings were gone and reced by a pair of huge, shiny white wings. The pair of wings wererger than the previous threebined. Itpletely covered Long Haochens back, and even when folded, they rose higher above him. The tenth ray fell onto Long Haochens hand. It turned into a huge white and shiny sword. The style of the great sword was very simple, without any ornate decorations. Not even a bit of pattern. But, on its glittering white body, it was shining with nine colors of light! This was the only weapon that the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation brought to Long Haochen, the Sword of Eternity. Thest three lumps of white light hit the huge breastte gem on Long Haochens chest and bounced back. While they bounced back, only one mass of white light remained bright white, while the other two became seven colors and turquoise. The three beams of light acted as a loyal guard, circled and reciprocated around Long Haochens body. The whole process wasplicated, but it only took a few breaths. This was the Imperial Weapon, the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Chapter 758 - Light Dawn Demon Hunter VS Kings Of Undead (I)

Chapter 758: Light Dawn Demon Hunter VS Kings Of Undead (I)

The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation became an eternal armor that covered Long Haochens body entirely. Long Haochen felt as if he had reached the realm defined by Electrolux, when he was holding the sun, moon, and stars in his hands. He held the Sword of Eternity in front of him and an overwhelming swordsmanship turned to something tangible. Ding The great ck and purple sword of the Knight of Judgment rested on the Sword of Eternity. Dark fog appeared and turned into the most ferocious devil towards Long Haochen which tried to devour him. Then the nine-color light bloomed which made an impact to the dark fog before it shattered. Long Haochens arm shook and the infinite power burst out that made the Knight of Judgment and the Bone Dragon King retreat into distant. At the same time, the dark elements in the air were rapidly merging towards Long Haochen. It then, unexpectedly, turned into pure non-attribute elements and went inside Long Haochens body through the nine-colors glow. With the power of Eternity in ones hand, one could have the whole world. Long Haochen also did not know the extent of his power. He only felt that the domain of Light God and the domain of Eternity were fully integrated and that his power seemed to be endless. This was the first time that he had used the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Countless experiences and message from the throne kept pouring inside his heart and his soul. Therefore, he did not take the initiative to attack the Knight of Judgment. The Knight of Judgment was anxious as the power of the Imperial weapon was stronger than he thought. Long Haochen was clearly inferior to him, but he could not see a way of winning if he was to directly fight against Long Haochen. The Knight of Judgment and Bone Dragon King roared at the same time. They both rushed towards Long Haochen once again andunched aprehensive attack. Long Haochen continually avoided the attacks of the two great Sovereign Kings by fluttering his Sword of Eternity up and down with ease. As they attacked, Long Haochen was motionless. The tip of the nine-colors sword wavered repeatedly to obstruct the opponents attacks. While Long Haochen was trying to stabilize the fight, the others were fighting in full swing. Caier was up against the King of Shadow, whose body waspletely ck and elusive. When she felt his power, she knew right away that his power was even scarier than the Witch King. An ident soon urred right after her beginning to fight with the King of Shadow. Caiers sickle of death was shining brightly but she was surprised to find that the sickle of death did not cut through his body but was only swept through the air. When she looked back, King of shadows body was already less than a hundred meters away from Hao Yue. Caier was astounded. Then a powerful white light burst out from her body and spread across a kilometer, formed a white curtain of light in front of the King of Shadow. However, the King of Shadow did not seem to care but he failed to go through the curtain. When his dark shadow touched the light of purification, a shrill cry of soul broke out, and King of Shadows body bounced back rapidly. Caier gave a cold snort and thought to herself. You could avoid my physical attacks but who could escape from my light of purification? Caiers power was the most suitable against the undead. Her inheritance from death, the most powerful ability to purify the undead! Though his practice level was extremely high, the King of Shadow was burned by the light of purification due to his carelessness. At the same time, Caier lifted her left hand and a sh of gold came over on the palm of her hand, on which a tiny golden sevenyers pagoda appeared. A sh of light with different color released from the pagoda and flew to where Hao Yue was. The sickle of death in Caiers hand made a thousand shadows in the air, and the domain of purification were spread out in full force against the King of Shadow. There were twelve streams of light from the tower of eternity, and as they fell, they formed a circle to protect Hao Yue. Was it not in the tower of eternity that the twelve saints had been tested at so often? Electrolux, the God of the Dead and the Scourge of the Undead, gave Caier not only the Tower of Eternity, but the twelve saints who had fought with him in battle and had done so much good. However, since the Tower of Eternity had been lowered from the edge of the Imperial Weapon to the domain of divines artifact, the strength of the twelve saints had been weakened to a certain extent. Their strengths and practice levels were rank nine, but they had no domain ability. But even so, there were twelve in total with thousands of years ofbat experience. At the time of at the Dabi Temple, Caier, by virtue of the Tower of Eternity, was almost invincible if not forbidden to use weapons. Even Long Haochen was no match for her. Of course, Long Haochens overall strength was unmatched in the team now that he had the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The twelve saints were guarding Hao Yue. With thousands of years of experience in battle, even if these Kings broke through the blockade of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, it was unlikely that they could harm Hao Yue directly. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi watched the battle in the air from the nearest ce to Hao Yue. They both felt dazed. The shock in their hearts were lifted to the top, especially at the moment when Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared. Yang Wenzhao never thought ofparing himself with Long Haochen because he knew that he could not catch up with Long Haochen. The King of Shadow was indeed as powerful as Caier had predicted. After the damage made to his soul, he soon calmed down. The grey air diffused from him and it did not dissipate even when it came in contact with the light of purification. It created a battleground space for him and Caier. A cold and gloomy aura attacked Caier, who was holding the sickle of death. She did not move. The domain of purification continued to emanate, but not to a great extent. It was only about twenty meters in diameter. With this distance, she would have time to respond King of Shadows attack from all sides. Suddenly, she felt a chill running down her spine. Caier turned around without any hesitation and her sickle of death cut through a shrill cold electricity. It was the Seven of Death, the unpassable death. Ding With a crisp sound, the King of Shadows body shed and disappeared. The grey sheen around his body blocked out Caiers light of purification, but he no longer linger inside her domain of purification and retreat. Caiers eyes narrowed as she was taken aback with surprise from the unprecedented enemy. Even though she was an assassin, she was attacked by the King of Shadows. But she had no choice. She was far less capable of concealment than her opponent right now. The King of Shadow couldnt use his domain to attack but it increased his ability to hide himself and increased his resistance level instead. Otherwise he would not be able to block the light of purification. But this King of Shadow was an undead creature and as long as it was an undead creature, there was nothing that cannot be restrained by the light of purification. The opponent might be able to maintain the erosion of unpurified light for a short time, but in the long-run, it was still impossible. Otherwise, with the strength of King of Shadow, he should have chosen to fight hard directly, rather than a game of tactics. Want to use up all my energy? Caier sneered. Her practice level was not nearly as good as that of Long Haochen, but the domain of purification was no less restorative than Long Haochens domain of Light. The light of purification was purifying the aura of death all the time, especially in this ce full of undead creatures, t. Then, suddenly, a chill came over and Caiers sickle of death struck out again. Ding This time Caiers body shook violently and her face changed color. The King of Shadow was so powerful that both Caier and her sickle of death were shaken vigorously. And she could only sense when her opponent was close. The King of Shadows body existed only in a form of soul. Therefore, physical attacks would not cause him any harm. Caiers situation was getting worse as she was continually beaten. She couldnt use her only attack that worked against him, the seven deaths attack, since the attack was close to being used up. Just like how Long Haochen was against the Knight of Judgment and Bone Dragon King, it was the same at Caiers side. However, Long Haochen was holding down his opponents but Caier was being held down by the King of Shadow. Caier was trying to seek out for the King of Shadow while Ya Ting was trying to find the King of me. These two kings had one thing inmon: their bodies were not physical. Beside the Knight of Judgment, these two kings were also difficult to deal with. Not one, but thousands of Swords of King were in the air that constantly blocked the King of mes route. The King of me was strong, but his attack ability was mainly shown on the soul. Ya Tings power of light was inherited from Long Haochen. As the Queen of Light Elves, Ya Tings soul was extremely stable, and the body she had now was not her own. Her soul form was the light element spirit. And after merged with the two Excalibur swords, she had the ability to solidify her soul. It was the perfect ability to suppress the King of mes attacks. Therefore, Ya Tingpletely suppressed her opponent. The King of me also tried to break through the blockade. But with all the Swords of King above, he was unable to get to Ya Tings body. All he did was to constantly dodging her attacks. It was an embarrassment to him. Chapter 759 - Light Dawn Demon Hunter VS Kings Of Undead (II)

Chapter 759: Light Dawn Demon Hunter VS Kings Of Undead (II)

On the battlefield, members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were being suppressed, except for Long Haochen and Ya Ting. Chen Yinger was fighting against the Witch King. They were both good at summoning. In terms of domain, Chen Yingers domain of beast couldnt suppress the opponents, but could enhance the summoned creatures. However, the undead creatures summoned by the Witch King were superior in rank to those summoned by her. The space of their battle was thergest. Chen Yinger, with the enhancement of the domain of beast, had summoned 36 nine-rank Warcraft to attack the Witch King. But the Witch King also summoned an army of hundreds of bone dragons. Chen Yinger was suppressed by the outnumbered enemy. Six orange-color crystal balls constantly hovered and shone. Chen Yingers holy clothes with hundreds of spiritual pellets released a strong light as it helped her to recover her spiritual force. She mustplete the second summoning before the army of bone dragons crushed all her summoned beast. The Witch King kept attacking Chen Yinger constantly, which was blocked by her beasts. Although she had an imperial weapon with her, the gap between the two was too big. It was predictable that after some time, Chen Yinger will be defeated by the Witch King. Wang Yuanyuan, who was in a fight with the Skeleton King, was not in a better situation than Chen Yinger. At the beginning of the battle, the Skeleton King turned into a huge ck bone knife. With the absolute advantage of the size differences, heunched crazy attacks towards Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuans left hand held a giant spirit shield and in her right hand was the bloody storm. With full resistance, she was still retreating. Skeleton King was too powerful. Each bombardment caused Wang Yuanyuan to retreat back in the air. Wang Yuanyuans domain of blood was counterbnced by the Skeleton Kings domain of devoured soul. Their forcespletely shed. If it wasnt for the aegis that was impregnated with empty silver crystals and had achieved the level of immortality, there would have been a number of powerful attacks that Wang Yuanyuan wouldnt have been able to withstand. Even so, she still transported in the space of time to keep the Skeleton King upied and far away from Hao Yue. Boom An exploding sound apanied by a burst of intense purple electric light reflected on one end of the battlefield. The electric light burst out from Si Maxians power of light. He was holding the balls of light in both hands while pressing the huge metal ball against his chest. His power of light was erged and amplified. The purple electric attack was also enhanced to an extremely terrifying extent. A hundred meters across from Si Maxian was the King of Loathe. Covered with pale white fat, he was looking down at his chest. In the middle of his chest, a ckened scar with a diameter of several meters went deep down into hisyer of fat. It was so deep that his internal organs could be seen. Grrr, Grrr, Grrr! With his left hand, he pounded his chest, and in his right hand was a giant rust-colored iron hook. A crimson color glowed from the chain behind the iron hook that was connected to the front as he went straight to Si Maxian. The King of Loathe did not continuously pound his chest without purpose. He was squeezing a lot of yellow fat around his wound and burying the woundpletely. He recovered with an astonishing speed. Damn it, this is bad. Si Maxian was depressed. He went for the King of Loathe because he looked big enough to make a good opponent. But who would have thought that he used such a terrifying iron hook? His attack was too frightening. Si Maxians power of light fell on him several times with smash, crush, and triple st attacks. The King of Loathe withstood every attack. Even if he was beaten, his fat skin recovered in no time. Si Maxian tried to use his purple electric light attack. Although there was more damage, it was still not enough to bring down the King of Loathe. The most terrifying thing was that, despite the size of the King of Loathe, his hook was a deft maneuver. When encountered, the King of Loathes iron hook would immediately produce light with an absorption effect, which made it hard for the opponent to run away. If Si Maxian was not equipped with a special effect, he would have suffered great damage. As soon as the iron hook was thrown over again, Si Maxian groaned angrily and roared up to the sky with a fierce face. In his hands, he swept out a powerful shot of light and hit it head-on. He got angry, too. Two long range heavy weapons collided in the air and exploded with sparks. Pellet of powerful light had no advantage in size or weight. But it was elevated greatly, with powers unmatched by the hook of the King of Loathe. Sounds exploded in quick session. The iron hook was finally hit off to the side. Si Maxian pped his wings and soared higher. He nced at King of Loathe and said, Not only you are bigger than me but also your weapon is bigger than mine. Thus, Illpete with you to see whose is bigger. Si Maxian tossed a powerful shot of light up in his hand. A strange golden sheen rose from the center of the great pellet of light. This golden light was shing in seven colors. Immortal? Did the pellet of light upgraded to an immortal level? At the same time, Si Maxians body was also shining. He shook himself and became bigger in an instant. In the blink of an eye, his height was more than a hundred meters, which was the same as that of the King of Loathe. The size of his mighty pellet of light was also increasing. The diameter seemed to be about fifty meters. The King of Loathe looked at Si Maxian and then looked at the iron hook in his hand. He was in a daze as he also felt crisis. His small eyes became fierce as a dark green fog burst out from his body. It covered pass where Si Maxian was. This was the domain of gue. The best for group warfare. No matter how strong one could be, one would be eroded in the gue. The longer the fight, the more severe the erosion would be. Si Maxian was surprised, but he did not avoid the gue. He stepped out of the void and headed to the King of Loathe with a st of light on his head. Long Haochen brought two precious Dan medicine at Demon Hunter Trade Center, which can help level nine domain to condense. One was given to Si Maxian and the other one to Lin Xin. Lin Xin hadpleted his holy Yang domain while Si Maxian, not only made big progress in his weapons, but also gained his own domain. His domain was also a domain weapon, like Long Ya Ting. He liked his pellet of light so much that his domain evolved perfectly as he wanted. Not only his body size increased but also strength, defense and the pellet of light. The bald priest, Si Maxian, incarnated into a humanoid weapon. Though, the disadvantage was that it could not attack remotely. It was unable to use any ability and it drained mana very quickly. It was like two giants collide together. Direct one on one fight. Pa! Pa! Pa! It was like flesh colliding with flesh. The King of Loathes fat sttered everywhere. In this whole battlefield, their fight was spectacr. Their fight was a collision of bodies. However, on the other side, the battle between Li Xin and the Cave Spider King was a fight between magic. With the holy Yang spell up over his head, Lin Xins two immortal-level weapons shone with glorious lights. The Fire of Immortal Dragon constantly fired as the holy Yang spell constantly erupted a powerful blue me that aimed towards the Cave Spider King. After he learned about the holy Yang spell, Lin Xin became like a tiger with wings added to it. The domain he practiced was also based on the holy Yang spell which made it reach unprecedented level. The Cave Spider Kings practice level was more than three hundred thousand and his strong poison spell was also very powerful. However, the me on the spirit of the undead had a certain degree of restraint. However, as Lin Xin wore the torch of praise, which was attached with light, the two sides were even. And it seemed that Lin Xin was at an advantage in this battle. In this ck and red world, Lin Xins mana recover rapidly. Therefore, he did not lose any of his strength while he attacked which made the Cave Spider King was very confused. Evenly matched, there were two other battlefields: Han Yu, the Sealed Divine Knight of Destruction and Forgiveness, with the Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness. The dark green armor covered his whole body. His weapon was only one shield. On that dark green shield, there were two patterns. One was the fearful devil and the other was the sad angel. His opponent was the Zombie King. Despite his stiff body, the Zombie King moved as fast as lightning. But no matter how fast he moved, Han Yu always came in front and blocked him every time. The Zombie Kings attack also always got blocked by the great shield of fear and sorrow. His souls fire quivered violently. If there was an inevitableg in his movement, Han Yu would hit him immediately. Though, Han Yu was not actively attacking the Zombie King, but he had a solid defense, which made the Zombie Kingpletely helpless. Zhang Fangfang was the Sealed Divine knight of Wisdom and Inheritance, dressed in the Sealed Divine Throne of Wisdom and Spirit. He fought exactly like Han Yu in the battlefield. Both of these men were extremely capable knights. The Sealed Divine Throne of Wisdom and Spirit gave him a hammer and a round shield. Every time the hammer struck, it exploded with an extremely strong light element. The power of that explosion was even stronger than that of the Great Pellet of Light. The King of Hells mes attack was just as powerful. But nothing could cause harm against Zhang Fangfangs solid defense. Chapter 760 - Light Dawn Demon Hunter VS Kings Of Undead (III)

Chapter 760: Light Dawn Demon Hunter VS Kings Of Undead (III)

From Han Yu and Zhang Fangfangs battles, it was shown how much the Sealed Divine Throne improved the strength of these knights. Both the Zombie King and the King of Hells me were above the practice level of three hundred thousand. But they fought equally. No one could cross the line beyond these two Sealed Divine Knights. It was difficult to keep the situation bnced. In this kind of situation, if there was just one shortfall, then all would be utterly defeated. It was especially true for the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, as they were fighting inside the enemys territory and there were many undead creatures watching from the distance. After countless attacks with the Knight of Judgment and the Bone Dragon King, they were subdued. As the Knight of Judgment looked at Long Haochens body entirely covered in white armor, he felt powerless. As the most powerful king in this world, he had been in charge of everything here for thousands of years. But now, a strong yer from another world with a terrifying pure light attribute, spiritual power, and as well as his Imperial Weapon, hade to challenge him. Even if he was in the nine level of rank seven, he wasnt a match for this new strong yer. Long Haochen quietly felt of the increasing pressure brought by the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation as his perception covered the whole audience. He could sense every change on the battlefield. With the eternal armor, the Knight of Judgment and the Bone Dragon King couldnt suppress him. But it wouldnt be easy for Long Haochen to beat them either. These two great Kings practice levels were close to a million and their strengths were extremely strong. Moreover, they might not have fought in their best potential yet. Long Haochen was supposed to only keep Hao Yue through its evolution, and not to fight these Sovereign Kings. Therefore, it was best for him to save his strength until crucial situation. He also had another trick that he hasnt used yet and now was not the time to use it. After hisrades upgraded to level nine, they did not practice much. But these life and death battles were more effective than the practice at the Temple. It also allowed them to get used to their new weapons. So, Long Haochen didnt rush to go all out as he did not think that hisrades were in real danger. Hao Yue was calmly crawling on the hill but now it looked as if it was lifeless. The amethyst scales had lost their glory and it was only crawling calmly and quietly. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were the closest to Hao Yue and had been watching its development. The two, though had not reached level nine, were the Knight Temples strong younger generation. When they cast their eyes on Hao Yue, there was an indescribable sense of fear. The calm Hao Yue was like a ck hole. Yang Wenzhao tried to look at Hao Yues state with his own perception. As he began, he found out that his senses connected to his soul further were to be sucked away. Hao Yues silence made Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi felt a big responsibility. No one knew how long the battle wouldst. The battle had to continue until Hao Yuepleted its evolution. At the same time, they both felt deeply ashamed. They wanted to fight in a battle with the Sovereign Kings in the sky right now. Their strengths were far from enough. The souls fire in the Knight of Judgments eyes was beating constantly while emitting a dark and cold color. After his and the Bone Dragon Kings attacks converged, his momentum was slowly rising. Long Haochen felt that the next time he broke out in full force, it would be more frightening than ever. The Knight of Judgment was waiting for the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group to make a mistake. Once there was a small breakthrough, they would have an advantage overall. Long Haochen held him back with the Imperial Weapon, but the Knight of Judgment had enough faith in his own strength to hold him down even if he could not defeat Long Haochen. From all the yers that came to this world, only Long Haochen made him feel the threat. Just as the Knight of Judgment predicted, a mistake urred. The first mistake was made by Wang Yuanyuan. The Skeleton Kings attacks were so ferocious that his enormous size didnt bother him at all. The ck bone knife in the air constantly turned into a ck lightning and stormed at Wang Yuanyuan Wang Yuanyuan was good at attacking, not defending. Therefore, she could only attack the opponent while releasing her domain of blood. Crack The ck bone knife in the air turned into a ck lightning and struck Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan did not dare to use her fragile bloody storm to ward off the attack. She swept the spirit shield in her left hand away and it collided with the ck bone knife. The spirit shield, with seven empty silver crystals, was fully capable of generating ayer of space turbulence when it collided with any attack. But this time was different. The blow of the Skeleton King was evidently premeditated. When his ck bone knife hit the shield, the knife suddenly became elusive and shed three times the speed that naked eyes could not distinguish. Then the knives violently stamped on the shield three times. Wang Yuanyuan groaned as she could no longer withstand the tremendous attack. She was struck in the air and fell down to the ground. The Skeleton King quickly caught up with her and a thick ckyer was rising from his feet as it concentrated around the knife. At this moment, his dark-colored bone seemed to have faded a little. Only the ck bone knife was emitting a deep dark color. Wang Yuanyuan felt the pain in her fractured left arm and her body was severely bleeding. The Skeleton King was evidently waiting for this chance. In preparation for the ck bone knife, his domainunched arge spirit force to lock Wang Yuanyuan which made it hard for her to open the door of space. There was no other way for her to run. She had to fight. Wang Yuanyuan clenched her teeth. Although her heart was fully unwilling, she knew she could not resist this blow no matter what. Although Long Haochen would certainly save her, how could she make up for her shortfall? While the ck bone knife was in the air, a golden figure suddenly appeared without any warning in front of Wang Yuanyuan. There was a sudden burst of intense light. Twelve golden lightning bolts thundered down on the ck bone knife. Boom A legendary golden shield in the hands of the golden figure prevented the strike of the ck bone knife after it was struck by the golden lightning. A strong golden light flickered as the ck bone knife swung over. That huge shield was broken into pieces. A legendary weapon got damaged. This golden figure was Zhang Fangfangs second spirit that split from his body. While Zhang Fangfang was in the battlefield, he was also paying attention to Wang Yuanyuans situation. With the help of the Sealed Divine Throne he was invincible. He was fully aware of Wang Yuanyuan. And in the most crucial moment, he quickly took action and split himself and came with his shield. The light of the twelve judgments was fully prepared just in time to save Wang Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan, restore your power, Zhang Fangfang told Yuanyuan while his whole body was emitting golden light and shrewdly rushing towards the Skeleton King. He attacked the Skeleton King with all his might. With his practices, his spiritual body also evolved. Zhang Fangfangs split spiritual body had evolved to its peak. This body was ny percent stable, but he could only be in this stage for two hours. At the same time, though he could use other weapon, he couldnt use Zhang Fangfangs weapons. After all, a split body was just a split body. And Zhang Fangfang was also distracted by his own fight with the King of Hells me. However, he was mainly on the defense. He made up for Wang Yuanyuans gap in her battle. Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang had known each other for a long time, therefore, she understood Zhang Fangfangs meaning right away. He meant for her to concentrate on restoring her spiritual power. At the same time, the giant spirit shield raised up high. A silver light spread from Wang Yuanyuans feet and slowly raised upward. Her whole body was burning with ayer of silver me. Her eyes turned blood red and they were glistening like ruby. With her whole body in silver glow, she looked as ominous as ever. Wang Yuanyuan had a nickname of the Bloody Goddess of War. Her hand suffered a great wound from the Skeleton King. She did not feel defeated. Instead, she felt inspired. The silver space became more and more flourished. Wang Yuanyuan suddenly looked up and screamed. Her bloody eyes instantly burst out as it became two line of bloody light that rose up in the sky. In the void, a silver door of light opened bathed in a bloody light. Then, thousands of silver lights burst out from Wang Yuanyuans body. The intense fluctuations of space made everything around Wang Yuanyuans body seemed distorted, except the two lines of blood that rose from the sky. They diffused when they touched the silver door. They fell down as ayer of bloody light and covered the ground. Wang Yuanyuans right foot suddenly stomped on the ground and her scream suddenly became more intense. The giant spirit shield in her left hand raised high as ayer of blood crawled over the giant shield like blood vessels. Chapter 761 - Bald Head Overthrown Fatty (I)

Chapter 761: Bald Head Overthrown Fatty (I)

Boom A huge column of silver light shot up into the sky. It swallowed the silver door in the air. Everyones eyes were fixed at the same ce as the warped spaces waves shook everyone on the battlefield. The silver light slowly faded away and a huge figure appeared out of nowhere. The figure was ten meters high and covered in silver armor. The armor was shining of bloody red aura instead of silver light. In order to save Long Haochen, all members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group werepleting with the saints of the Tower of Eternity. Wang Yuanyuan once ignited her own space attribute spiritual power with the explosion of spirit, which beat the Giant Spirit of Divine Health and defeated one of the saints. Besides, Zhang Fangfangs split body helped her when she almost lost her life in the battle. However, at this moment, Wang Yuanyuan was not like before anymore. She was now in level nine and with her domain of blood, she had been fully qualified to disy the Giant Spirit of the Immortal Shield. After seven silver crystals had been set, the Giant Spirit Shield would be equivalent to those immortal weapons. This time, the Spirit Shield looked clearly different than before. It looked like a female warrior. It was exactly the erged version of Wang Yuanyuan. Her eyes were in silver glint and the undtions of her spirit power werepletely bloody red. A strong blood-thirsty aura gushed out from her body along with a frightening power that even the Sovereign Kings were scared. At this time, Zhang Fangfangs split body was unable to withstand the Skeleton Kings powerful attack anymore. His split body was greatly injured by the Skeleton Kings knife. If ones split body was injured too severely, it would disappear sooner. And that was the case right now. The split body in the air turned into spots of golden light and disappeared. With a sh of silver light, Wang Yuanyuans body stood in front of the Skeleton King. Though she was erged, she was still less than half of the Skeleton Kings height. However, her shield was bigger than she was. She swept her huge shield and smashed it against the Skeleton Kings sword. This time, Wang Yuanyuan did not retreat. She screamed fiercely as she magnified her bloody storm attack countless times against the shaking the Skeleton King. It was a crazy bloody outbreak. Then she approached him with her strongest attack, the Dimensional Storm. After Wang Yuanyuan became a giant spirit, it was not just her body size that was erged but also her weapon. Bloody Storm did not increase in the attack power, but its attack power greatly increased due to the increased size. It seemed like the powerful dimensional storm was about to tear the sky apart. The Skeleton King struggled violently but he was continually streaked by the sharp teeth of the bloody storm. This was the first time that Wang Yuanyuan still had the upper hand in a one-on-one battle. However, the Skeleton King was very strong. His skeleton was almost as strong as a piece of epic weapon. His body did not get hurt critically after that crazy and violent collision. Domains, weapons, and even bodies all collided with each other during attacks that constantly burst out into furious crashes. Wang Yuanyuans strength wasprehensively improved. Therefore, she stood up against the Skeleton King as she believed that she should not lose to the opponent. The Knight of Judgment was disappointed. A breakthrough finally begun, and he was ready to take action against Long Haochen. But he didnt know that the enemy was so tenacious and was able to withstand the pressure. However, he still felt a little disdain as he was very familiar with the Skeleton King. The Skeleton King was definitely the most powerful one among the Sovereign Kings. He didnt have many skills, but hebined both physical training of attack and defense. Therefore, he was extremely solid in both defense and offense. Wang Yuanyuan now seemed to be on par with him, but it was clearly just a temporary outburst. Once it was over, the Skeleton King would still be the winner. However, that was not the only breakthrough. While Wang Yuanyuan was trying hard to stand against the Skeleton King, Chen Yinger and Si Maxian were both in crisis situation. Chen Yingerpleted her second summoning. A total of 36 level-nine creatures rushed out from the door of the living and fought with the bone dragons summoned by the Witch King. There was also arge amount of bone dragons but still less than Chen Yinger summoned beasts. The bone dragons that Witch King summoned were the same kind and all had the same attributes, attacks, and defenses. And for Chen Yinger, she used her domain to increase her summoned beasts warcraft. But there was ack ofmand constraints in order to speed up the recovery of her psychic power. If it wasnt for the light of repeating deaths triple summoning, she wouldnt be able to hold on. Chen Yinger, who owned the domain of Beast, should not be so different from the Witch King. But the current battlefield was not suitable for Chen Yinger to fight because this world was full of undead creatures. If she wanted to summon, she had to summon creatures from the other world instead. This made her becamepletely underpowered. Nevertheless, the performance of McDull was very eye-catching. It turned into a devil dragon and resisted Witch Kings attack multiple times. When the situation seemed bad, it turned into a four-heads chimera and used four attributes at the same time to help Chen Yinger to maintain the situation. The souls fire in Witch Kings eye throbbed violently. Then he took the staff in his hand upfront and a shrill shriek sounded continuously. All of a sudden, the bone dragons attacks became even crazier. When the Bone Dragon King surrendered to the Knight of Judgment, all of the Bone Dragon Kings subordinates became under the Knight of Judgment. The Witch King had a close rtionship with the Knight of Judgment since both of them were couples when they were still alive. So, the Knight of Judgment handed over the bone dragons to the Witch King. Otherwise it was impossible to summon so many bone dragons with solely Witch Kings strength. The Witch King only ranked fourth among the ten Sovereign Kings. But with an army of bone dragons, the Witch King was second only to thebination of Knight of Judgment and Bone Dragon King. Not only did the bone dragons in the air attacked with full force, but even those that had already been shattered, began to slowly regroup on the ground. As undead creatures, the only way to kill these bone dragonspletely was to put out their souls fires. And how could Chen Yinger, who was the underdog right now, achieve this? Si Maxian was also in crisis. The King of Loathes fat defense was extremely strong. Si Maxian had the upper hand when he was just released from his domain and by the virtue of strength of the powerful Pellet of Light. But the King of Loathe was like a giant tumbler. Every time one looked at him, it was like he was going to be knocked over but then he rapidly recovered. His body was constantly crushed and sted by the powerful Pellet of Light but soon those wounds recovered. As time went by, the gue cloud on Si Maxians erosion also began to intensify. Although the light element purified some part, it was the King of Loathes domain after all. The longer the time passed by, the dizzier Si Maxians mind became. Moreover, he had only recently possessed the domain. Although the outbreak was strong enough to fight King of Loathe, the domain weapon cost a lot of power. Thus, he would not be able to hold on for a long time. Si Maxians energy was consumed continuously as his huge body became more unstable. The King of Loathe suddenly swung his iron hook out of his hand. This time, it was neither against Si Maxians body nor his Pellet of Light. There was a crisp sound as the iron hook went straight and hit the chain behind the Pellet of Light. The iron hook suddenly folded forward and locked it uppletely. The King of Loathe then pulled it back strongly and the iron hook glided against the chain which made series of sparks. Eventually stopped at the position of the pellet and dragged the huge metal ball. Even though the King of Loathe was fat, he was actually very smart. Though, Si Maxians attacks hurt him badly and he could not resist the power of his weapon, he still had advantage over Si Maxian because his armor of fat suits defense wasparable to the level of an Imperial Weapon. And he finally seized his chance of getting Si Maxians strong Pellet of Light as his own weapon. He liked Si Maxians Pellet of Light and it urred to him that the weapon was capable of bingrger. Two huge forces suddenly pulled at the same time, and then two chains instantly stretched straight. There was a gap between the two sides, but Si Maxian, with strength alone, was not King of Loathes opponent and his body immediately was pulled over. However, Si Maxian did not let go because he needed the Pellet of Light. which was his most important skill. If he were to let it go, the gap between him and the King of Loathe would be toorge. Even his domain relied on it. When it was possible to form a horcrux within the great Pellet of Light, the weapon of terrible destruction might even evolve into an artifact. The souls fire inside the King of Loathes eyes was beating vigorously with a deadly white ray of light as he triumphantly pulled Si Maxian closer and closer. The domain of gue emitted a thick stench that constantly eroded Si Maxians body. But then, a huge blue ball of fire suddenly flew over and struck against the King of Loathes iron hook strongly. A roar rang up apanied by a burst of countless blue sparks. Many of those blue sparks stained the King of Loathes body and burned off the fat around his whole body. At the same time, ayer of divine golden light inside the seared blue me had lessen the burning gue cloud by a lot. Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Bald Head Overthrown Fatty (II)

Undoubtedly, the one that suddenly came and helped Si Maxian was Lin Xin. Lin Xin was wearing the sacred fire robe and the sacred me was burning violently and formed a circle of red and golden mes that soared into the sky. This made the sun above his heads blue me turn into ayer of red and gold which looked more gorgeous. His attacks went berserk. A huge dragon drilled out from the Holy Sun and went towards the Cave Spider King. The Cave Spider King had to retreat due to the zing high temperature. The perfectbination of Light and Fire gave Lin Xin the upper hand temporarily. The Cave Spider King was not easy to deal with. The spots on his body glowed and a huge web sprang up. The web hung directly in the air and hid his massive body behind. Lin Xins brilliant me and his Holy Sun spell were unable to destroy his spider web directly. After each spell filtered through the web, its power was greatly reduced, and it was dispelled by the void of the Cave King Spider one by one. However, as Lin Xin finally gained the upper hand in the battlefield, though for a short time, he used full advantage of his magic power. The support of the fireball was not only on Si Maxians side but also on the side of Lin Xins Holy Sun. A column of fire shot out of the Holy Sun straight into the air. That column of fire suddenly broke into hundreds of fireballs and flew in all directions at once. Lin Xin was totally in control over his magic. These fireballs, though flying around chaotically, seemed to have eyes and could find their own target. These fireballs were mostly concentrated towards Chen Yingers side. There were at least more than fifty blue and golden fireballs towards the army of bone dragons. For a moment, there was a tremendous roar in the air. Then at least a dozen skulls of bone dragons were caught off guard by the Holy Suns fireballs and burst into fragments. Their souls did not directly burn out but still suffered a great trauma. They also gave support to Si Maxian and Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuan turned into a great spirit god and fought intensely with the Skeleton King. With the bombarded fireballs, the solid body of the Skeleton King finally gave up. His body continuously emittedyers of ck light, he roared as his body was pushed back at least a hundred meters and tried to fight back. Wang Yuanyuan took advantage of this situation and did not let this opportunity go to waste. A blow from the split cannon mmed into the Skeleton Kings right arm that was holding the bone knife which left arge fissure there. The first fireball that came toward Si Maxians side hit the chain of the pellet of light. The scorching heat slowed down the revulsion as a dozen more fireballs swarmed directly at the King of Loathes body. The King of Loathe, although could still fight, did not want to get burnt by the fireballs heat, which was full of light properties. His fatty body suddenly lit up deadly white light and fiercely rushed to the other side. The moment he rushed out, there was a series of residual shadow behind him. Contrasted to his massive body, his movement was instantaneous and incredible. Lin Xin couldnt separately manipte these fireballs to attack him directly. So, these fireballs, without their target, all thundered down upon the King of Loathes chain. The King of Loathe was terrified as he loved his iron hook so much. The amount of undead creatures fire of soul it absorbed before it became this powerful was endless. The King of Loathe jerked back as he was trying to pull his iron hook back. However, Si Maxian wouldnt give in this time. He pulled the pellet of light with all his strength and stretched the chain in the same position as the fireballs continuously bombarded. Soon that segment of chain was already burning red and a mournfulment appeared. It was the result of the me purification of vengeance ghost. Si Maxian roared as his arm muscles became tensed from pulling. Suddenly, at the same time, a strong golden light rose from behind him and turned into a huge sword that went straight to that burned chain. The King of Loathe waspletely shocked. He would not allow his weapon to be destroyed like this! Both of his thick arms were in full force and a deadly white light emitted out from his whole body. His eyes became narrowed as his fire of soul throbbed frantically. It seemed like he was in full strength. Nothing could change his mind as he would not let Si Maxians sword cut off his chain. But, the terrifying King of Loathe never thought that the heavy power of Si Maxians would suddenly disappear at this moment. There was no sign at all, it was too sudden. The King of Loathes body kept rolling on the ground because he had exerted too much force while Si Maxian suddenly stopped exerting any power. But because of King of Loathes strong pull, Si Maxians body also soared up in the sky, then it hit the pellet of light and fell down to where the King of Loathe was. In order to take back his iron hook, the King of Loathe exhausted all his body strength and spiritual force to pull which made Si Maxians body almost hit him like a cannonball. At this time, most of the witnesses of this battlefield between humans and the undead were all shocked at the scene. Then the bald man clutched a metal ball fifty meters in diameter in the air and crushed the fatty that was lying on the ground like a mountain of flesh. Poof The bald man hit the fatty hard with the metal ball which made terrifying noise. All that could be seen was ayer of yellow and white fat spraying out at the center of the collision. The force of the collision was sorge that the yellowish-white fat gushed out from the King of Loathes wounds. Even with the King of Loathes level of defense, the impact of this terrifying force was more than he could afford. Si Maxians long-nned attack couldnt be as simple as that. At this moment, the fat man was lying underneath with his fat overflowed as the huge metal ball was pressing against his chest and abdomen while a bald priest, Si Maxian, was standing on the other side. Then there was a sudden sh of purple lightning and followed by a powerful pellet of light. Between the two powers, it instantly became a color of amethyst. At the same time, a powerful bolus of light opened and exploded with a violent roar the next moment. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Nine terrifying rumblings rang up apanied by innumerable bursts of purple lightning. The body of the King of Loathe convulsed and quivered under the st. He tried to struggle, but Si Maxian pinned him down and said nothing. The two were so close that Si Maxian also suffered the aftermath of the purple lightning. His whole body likewise hissed by the terrifying thunderbolt. An epic full-body armor and a faint smell of burnt appeared. But Si Maxian did not give up and let the terrifying thunder and lightning continue to attack. Fortunately, he and the King of Loathe were both bald, otherwise, their hair must have had changed to a different style by now. The scene of their battlefield was too tough. No one would have expected that their battle would evolve like this. Although, Si Maxian suffered in the battle but the one who really suffered the most was the King of Loathe! The terrifying purple lightning continued to hit him at the core of his body and his bodys protectiveyer of fat had just been squeezed out. The fire of King of Loathes soul was beating violently. Every time his huge body shook, there would be a great amount of fat overflowed. Finally, this time, he was hit hard. However, as one of the ten sovereign Kings, he was not going to allow himself to be seized without putting up a fight. When the ninth roar was over, Si Maxian suddenly felt his huge body that was soft before changedpletely and became tensed. Before Si Maxian could react, a silver and white light shed and Si Maxians body had disappeared with his pellet of light. Then a mad explosion erupted from the King of Loathe which unleashed millions of pounds of fat, viscera and bones into a frightening storm that swept across a kilometer in diameter. The storm was so strong that the creatures around the battlefield was scared of getting hit by those fat full of poison. When Si Maxian appeared again, he was already by Long Haochens side. But he was also shrinking rapidly, and his face became pale. The sword of eternal in Long Haochens hands drew a beautiful arc in the air and then a hundred-meter-long de of light came out of the sky and forced the knight of judgment and the bone dragon king to retreat. At the same time, three light balls circled around Long Haochens body and one green light ball flew out andnded on Si Maxian. Si Maxian had just fought with the King of Loathe with all his might, therefore, not only that his spiritual power got consumed too much, but he also suffered a lot from King of Loathes deadly gue. As soon as the green light fell on him, he felt an indescribable cooling sensation. Then all the toxins were easily sucked out and swept away. With a sh of green light, a gentle force pushed Si Maxians body upside down towards the direction of Hao Yues evolution. Long Haochen was always paying attention to the whole battlefield and he also saw the fatal collision between Si Maxian and the King of Loathe. When the King of Loathes body stood still, he sensed something terrifying and if Si Maxian was still there, even if the spirit chain was there, it would also be severely damaged. Not only that it would get damaged, but it would also affect others. Therefore, Long Haochen immediatelyunched the domain of sh and brought Si Maxian to his side. Chapter 763 - Bald Head Overthrown Fatty (III)

Chapter 763: Bald Head Overthrown Fatty (III)

The King of Loathe was still not dead yet. As King of the Undead, it was not easy to die. The horrible body of King of Loathe already exploded; however, a smear of deadly white fire of soul psed in an instant. In the distance, among the loathe demons, the body with the greatest loathe suddenly quivered violently. The next moment, its eyes turned deadly white flickering with fire of soul. That body was upied by the King of Loathe. The King of Loathe took two loathe demons around him by their heads with his two hands, strong deadly white light spread instantly and soon those bodies shriveled while the King of Loathes body expanded rapidly. Although other loathe demons were terrified of the scene, they were strangely too afraid to run away. The King of Loathe swallowed them to recover his own strength. However, it was impossible for the King of Loathe to recover to his original strength soon, since his own body just exploded. It took a long time for his soul to get used to the new body. In this battle, the King of Loathe and Si Maxian fought even. Si Maxian was overworked and was badly injured. And the King of Loathe lost his body which was a greater loss. They wouldnt be able to fight for a while. Now, nine battlefields went down to eight, but the danger of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group became more apparent. Due to Lin Xins outbreak of power, the duration of his glory praise declined and finally came to an end. The Cave Spider King that was previously suppressed by him started to move. He stared at Lin Xin with cold eyes as if he was looking at a dead man. Although Chen Yinger was able to recover a bit with the help of Lin Xin, the Witch King attacked more fiercely. Purple and ck bubbles continued to pour out of McDulls four-heads chimera body and caused a great wound. At this point, he wasnt able to support the battle anymore. The beasts summoned by Chen Yinger were also routed by the army of bone dragons. The outbreak of Wang Yuanyuan was also close to the end as her giant spirit body started to be elusive while the Skeleton King began to approach andunched counterattacks. Chen Yinger, who had been sitting cross-legged in the air, stood up. At the same time, the six crystal balls around her body emitted a hazy white light. The Witch King in the distance saw Chen Yinger cunningly retreat to the rear of the army of bone dragons. The Witch King knew right away what she was trying to do but it might be thest strike and if she were to try to defend this strike, this human would undoubtedly die. The light inside Chen Yinger eyes was glistening as all one hundred and eight pellets of soul on her holy spirit cloth were shining. There was also white light shone at her bosoms, it was the elixir of her soul. Her right hand raised up and the six crystal balls around her shot out a white light. Behind Chen Yinger, a majestic figure appeared. It was the Beast God. The white light emitted from the six crystal balls focused on McDull and suddenly all his wounds were healed at an amazing speed. All the negative effects of the Witch Kings dark magic were eliminated. Chen Yinger floated forward andnded on McDulls back as she looked at the Witch King, she sneered and said, You wouldnt know what Spiritual Sainte is until I give you something difficult to deal with. With her right hand pointing forward, Chen Yinger murmured a few incantations. Then the white light cut through the sky at once and flew straight to the bone dragon at the center of the army. These bone dragons had a very strong fighting instinct, so they were not going to sit still. Several bone dragons exhaled a breath towards the white light. However, what frightened them was that their breaths could not stop the white light at all. Not even a drop in the wind. It was as if the white light hadnt felt them at all. It went straight through andnded right on the head of the targeted bone dragon. The body of that bone dragon froze in an instant. The next moment, it went mad. At least in other bone dragons eyes, this bone dragon became insane. After a brief period of lethargy, it suddenly swung its huge long tail sideways and mmed into the neck of the bone dragon beside it. Fortresses were always the easiest to break from within. The mad bone dragon had mauled three of itspanions almost instantly. This was just the beginning. Chen Yinger pointed her right hand again and the white light flew out towards another bone dragon on the other side. The result was exactly the same, another bone dragon went mad. The madness of the two bone dragons caused chaos to the whole army of bone dragons and the attacks on Chen Yinger summoned beasts were greatly reduced. At this time, Chen Yinger summoned beasts were only a dozen left. It was a crazy counterattack. After a brief moment of silence, The Witch King reacted immediately andmanded the army of bone dragons to tear apart those two mad bone dragons. However, the two mad bone dragons already caused damage to several bone dragons and at the same time, Chen Yinger fired the third white light. The whole army of bone dragons was in a panic. As one of the most powerful creatures in the world of the undead, these bone dragons were also extremely intelligent. After they saw what happened to the bone dragons that got hit by the white light, they all tried to avoid the attack. The whole scene was in chaos. Chen Yinger now gained the upper hand. The back of Chen Yingers clothing waspletely drenched. She seemed calm, but she became so weak that she had to rely on McDulls strength to continue to stand firm. The battlested for a long time. Although she had the support of the holy spirit garment, she was so exhausted that she was on the edge of copsing from using her spiritual power. Those three white lights were undoubtedly endowed by her spirit. Bone dragons were very strong, but they also originated as demons and beasts. In the face of the Beast God, Chen Yinger craft could produce a great influence. Not only were these dragons in level nine, but the mastery of this power depended entirely on the fire of ones own soul. It took a lot of spiritual power for Chen Yinger to control these bone dragons. To make these three bone dragons go berserk was the most she could do. However, it stabilized the situation for quite some time. At that moment the battlefield changed again, and the sacred golden beams of light suddenly fell from the sky. It fell on each member of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. The light column had a rich light attributes aura. As the light enveloped each member, they felt warm. Han Yu with the shield of fear and sadness in his hand hit the Zombie King again. His chest shone golden light and his eyes constantly shed with the release of his own spirit. The golden beam of light came from the power of the divine light furnace. When they obtained the power from the divine light furnace, the lost power of Si Maxian recovered quickly. The body of Wang Yuanyuan became stable. Lin Xin and Chen Yingers situations were also a lot more stable with their spiritual power recovered quickly. Caier, Long Ya Ting, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfnag and Long Haochens spirits were also in full rise. Zhang Fangfangs split body rose to the highest level as well as Han Yus light spirit. At the beginning of the fight, Han Yu had determined his future of developments direction, to assist with the whole team. At this point, with the increased power of the light shield, he immediately recovered from the inferior position on the battlefield. This might be the turn of the tide. Now the Knight of Judgment felt nervous. Hao Yues evolution was not moving at all, which allowed him to wait for his opportunity of a breakthrough. Just when he thought a breakthrough was about to happen, who knew that Han Yus skills would immediately turn the table. There seemed to be no possibility of defeating them for a while. The dy of time would only benefit the humans, once Hao Yuepleted its evolution The Knight of Judgment couldnt dare to imagine. At this time, he decided not to retreat anymore. With a mighty roar from the sky, the Knight of Judgments aura suddenly became stronger. At the sound of his roar, the fire of souls in the eyes of the other nine Kings also grew strong, each with a roar. Suddenly, the undead creatures in the distance that witnessed the fight silently for a long time moved at themand of their Kings. They rushed toward Hao Yue like a sea tide. The Knight of Judgment had been reluctant to do so because he knew that the consequences would inevitably lead to a great loss of these higher-ranked undead creatures which would hurt the foundation of their future rules. After all, no one knew which race would have arger loss. Therefore, before the ten Sovereign Kings came, apart from the Bone Dragon Kings bone dragons inevitable war, the other nine Kings all understood the tactic that they would either not make a move at all or move together at once. But now, the Knight of Judgment saw that the humans defense could not be easily shaken so he finallymanded their army to move. Heavy pressure suddenly appeared in all members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter groups hearts. At this point, it was like each one fought against one whole army. Despite their powerful strength, but to fight against one whole army, both in terms of ability and psychology, made them feel untenable. After the Knight of Judgments roar, his attack had also changed. The fire of soul inside his eyes suddenly zed. His two-and-a-half-meters-tall body expanded again and it increased to five meters in an instant. Chapter 764 - Long Haochens Hidden Trump, Caier! (I)

Chapter 764: Long Haochens Hidden Trump, Caier! (I)

As the Knight of Judgments body expanded, the body of the Bone Dragon King was shrinking at an rming rate and its blue and white bones disintegrated. The blue and white fire of soul flew forwards andnded directly on the purple and ck sword inside the Knight of Judgments hand. The sword was like a torch that had been lit and, in a sh, the blue and white mes rose up. At the same time, the Skeleton Kings exploded skeleton, looked like a maggot of tarsal, climbed onto the Knight of Judgments body and turned into a blue and white bone armor. A blowout of dark and terrifying aura erupted from the Knight of Judgment. As the true king of this world, he had all the means to subdue other Sovereign Kings. At this time, the Knight of Judgments aura gave Long Haochen an illusion like when he was facing the God of Devils. Perhaps, the Knight of Judgments practice level still couldnt bepared to the God of Devils. And he had no Imperial weapon like the God of Devils. But at this time, the Knight of Judgment was the strongest man Long Haochen had ever seen after the God of Devils and Electrolux. The oppression of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations aura weakened and Long Haochens eyes became dignified. The opposite side would do whatever it takes. To fade away, be invisible and sealed domain, the Knight of Judgment said with a deep voice. Then a huge maroon symbol appeared behind him and at the same time, the same symbol also appeared behind Long Haochen. Long Haochen was shocked when his domain of Light God that fused with his domain of Eternity suddenly lost its power. He sealed my domains? What is this skill? After all, in the human world, no one had ever reached more than level nine of rank six. Therefore no one could ever tell him that once one reached level nine of rank seven, one would gain a special ability of domain sealing. To seal the opponents domain, the opponent had to be in a lower rank. In general, the domain level appeared to be inferior to the opponent, but the strength was stronger than the opponent in the battle. The Knight of Judgments practice level was originally revised to rank seven and there was a high possibility that he would fail if he was forced to seal a domain. But at this point, as he and the Bone Dragon Kings strengthsbinedpletely, it was easy for him to use the domain sealing skill even though he still couldnt break through the bottleneck with spirit level of a million. Long Haochens domain of Eternity had too much influence on him and had weakened him. Even after such an immediate increase, he wasnt sure if he could win against Long Haochens domain. Therefore, he tried to seal Long Haochens domain although he, too, could not use his domain. So, they changed to fight using their strength alone without any influence of the domain. Not only did the Knight of Judgment break out, but several other Sovereign Kings alsounched a full-scale and furious attacks. They all knew that if they spare the humans in front of them, even just one, it would bring a lot of casualties to their subordinates and affect their willingness to destroy Austin and Griffin. Long Haochen that dealt with the outbreak of the Knight of Judgment only made a simple attack while holding the Swords of Eternity in both hands. The Knight of Judgment was surprised to find that his ownprehensive repression had no effect on a human. Long Haochen stayed calm and only fixed his eyes on the Knight of Judgment. Doesnt he care if Austin and Griffin and his other buddies die? No, it cant be! No matter what was on his mind, the Knight of Judgment would not stop. In midair, his hands spewed ice blue me. It made a virtual split action as it slowly raised towards Long Haochen. A simple strike issued as a loud and clear dragons roar echoing in the air. The ice blue me formed a huge bone dragon that was burning with purple and ck me that went straight towards Long Haochen. When the blow went out, all the advancing undead armies below became sluggish for a moment. All the dark elements in the air seemed to have been sucked away by the blow like a vacuum. Long Haochen felt that everything in front of him became distorted like a bottomless abyss and went straight for him. The Armor of Eternity was instantly suffused with a purple and ck light that wanted to seep in. Hum A strange hum appeared from the chest of Long Haochen. A huge mirror gem suddenly turned milky white and then ten thousand lights spurted out from the gem. In the void, Long Haochen walked slowly step by step as he was trying to draw out the Sword of Eternity. As he was trying to draw out his Sword of Eternity, the Knight of Judgments spiritual force seemed to slow down. It was not until the Sword of Eternity was raised fully and the Light of Eternity spurted out from his chest was inhaled into the sword that a huge dragons head bit Long Haochen. Nine colors golden light swept out a straight vertical line in the air and a huge bone dragons shadow immediately solidified. The nine colors golden rays spread in the direction of the Knight of Judgment. The King of the ck and red world flicked his giant sword to avoid the blow. Poof The bone dragons shadow burst open and nine colors golden light shed and then disappeared. In the air, Long Haochen backed up three steps to stand up. What a powerful Imperial weapon. The Knight of Judgment praised it in his mind. In the collision, it looked like the retreating Long Haochen released much less spiritual force than the Knight of Judgment. But he was just neutralizing the blow with the power of his Imperial weapon. But this was only just the beginning. The fire of the soul in the Knight of Judgments eyes was burning brightly and his body was shining with light. This time, he did not attack from a distance, but he came directly in front of Long Haochen and swept his huge sword straight towards Long Haochen. This sword attack was not only fast, but also followed the principle of heaven and earth. Long Haochens face changed color slightly by that beautiful trace. He blocked it with his Sword of Eternity. nk. The two swords collided loudly. Long Haochens whole body emitted nine colors of golden light as his body was swept away a hundred meters. It was a clear loss. The Imperial Weapon was not meant to be invincible. The difference between the two opponents was fully revealed in this blow. Although the Imperial Weapon was not meant to be invincible, it was definitely meant to be powerful. When the two swords collided, the Knight of Judgment felt a strong aura of life that came to him and greatly disturbed his and the Bone Dragon Kings aura of death. And in this moment of dy, Long Haochen went back in front of him. Without a collision of domains, the battle between the two became more intense. Each time there was an outbreak, it rippled a strong glow in the air. When the darkness was at its peak, it was not afraid of the light. The Knight of Judgment terrifying power was close to a million which expelled Long Haochen repeatedly. But because of the strong attribute of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the Knight of Judgment was suppressed and could not get close to Hao Yue. After both sides continued to increase their strength, the situation remained deadlocked. But there were dramatic changes elsewhere. The first was the defeat of Chen Yinger. Relying on her soul, Chen Yinger caused chaos among the bone dragon army and caused a loss of at least ten. Her summoned beats took advantage of that but her repeated attacks did notst long. Only after a brief advantage, the Witch King also erupted just like the Knight of Judgment. The wand in her hand suddenly cracked and the remaining forty or so bone dragons, in midair, retreated. The Witch King flew to the front and murmured something with the forefinger of her wand and then ten thousand currents of darkness rushed up from the ground and swept toward the Witch Kings body. That was the power of the Witch Kings dead wizards. The power of a dead wizard was nothing but the power of thousands of dead wizardsbined with the Witch Kings power were absolutely terrifying. After all, this battlefield was their homnd. The Witch Kings hands changed into aplicated symbol as the fire of soul in her eyes suddenly changed into a strong white color. A huge vertical eye appeared in the void. It was twenty meters in height. The vertical eye was staring at McDulls direction and suddenly a vast color with strange fluctuations went after McDulls body. Chen Yinger couldnt stop the blow although she had already pushed the boundaries of her domain of Beast to the limit and released all the powers that had just been recovered from the Divine Light furnace. The Witch King did not give her a third chance to summon. McDull that tried to protect Chen Yinger from getting seriously injured and fell to the hillside where Hao Yue was. Chen Yinger also lost a great amount of power and temporarily lost the ability to fight. A breakthrough finally appeared. The Witch King led an army of bone dragons straight toward the mountains. She wanted to have Austin and Griffin die in her hands. Not only the Witch King entered by the breakthrough, but the King of Loathe also entered. After he absorbed the power from other demons, the King of Loathe restored a huge body, with some incongruity. His strength also weakened by more than 40% but he was finally back. He picked up his big iron hook as he staggered behind the Witch King and rushed forwards. However, at the same time as the breakthroughs appeared, someone in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was vacated. Caier and the King of Shadow kept fighting with each other. Caier defended against the King of Shadows attack and with the power of her Sickle of Death. Although she couldnt capture the opponent, she also did not suffer a loss. Chapter 765 - Long Haochens Hidden Trump, Caier! (II)

Chapter 765: Long Haochens Hidden Trump, Caier! (II)

The King of Shadow also did not dare to put too much force as the aura from the Sickle of Death was very frightening. In terms of properties, this power of purification was more terrifying than that of light. The ten Sovereign Kings made a deal to destroy the Austin and Griffin, but their lives were their own. He felt that once his fire of soul mixed with the power of purification, it would be a great loss, if not extinguished. At the Witch Kings outbreak, she increased her power by absorbing the dead wizards power and attacked Chen Yinger. At the same time, Caier suddenly changed her tactics. Caier lifted her left hand and a sh of golden light rose into the air. Then a huge seven-story pagoda appeared in the void. A great suction suddenly came from the bottom of the pagoda. The King of Shadow, who was fighting with Caier, did not expect that Caier would suddenly bring out such a weapon. The Tower of Eternity was an artifact, although it nearly evolved into an Imperial Weapon. The King of Shadows power was strong, but his body could also be a kind of resentment spirit, so he was simr to the King of me. And this Tower of Eternity was previously the God of Deaths, a powerful artifact used by Electrolux to subdue the scourge. Although neither Long Haochen nor Caier had inherited Electroluxs undead magic, Caier had the power of the Tower of Eternity that frightened all undead creatures. As soon as the Tower of Eternity appeared, the King of Shadow felt that his fire of soul lost control and was burning violently. He tried his best to stabilize his fire of soul, however, the shadow of his body also revealed and though he did not get sucked into the Tower of Eternity due to his powerful practice level, he was unable to act temporarily. Caier stepped out of the void and came to the King of Shadow. At this point, the King of Shadow had no choice but to fight. The light of the Tower of Eternity was in full blood and the powerful deterrent to undead had cut off the connection between the King of Shadow and his subordinates which prevented him frompleting the explosion from absorbing others power like the Witch King. The next moment, a pure white light from the Sickle of Death exploded in front of him. The first five absolute deaths in one breath drew an outline of the perfect God of Deaths in the air of the dazzling picture of purification: deaths wounds, deaths, deaths scream, deaths kiss, and deaths silence The domain of purification also suddenly became pure and enveloped the King of Shadowpletely. When she cut into the body of the King of Shadow, the fire of his soul was unavoidable. It was directly impaled by the de of purification. The shrill scream of the Witch King stunned the audience. She stopped rushing towards Hao Yue as she watched the King of Shadow get purged under Caiers Sickle of Death in disbelief. If they were to fight against each other, the King of Shadow would be slightly above her. How can he die like that? The Sickle of Death could purge even the scourge Electrolux, not to mention the King of Shadow. By purifying the King of Shadow, the light of purification on her body became unmatched and the Tower of Eternity withdrew. She flew in the air and blocked the Witch King and the bone dragon armys path. Then she advanced her left hand slowly forward as she was holding the Sickle of Death behind in her right hand. A small white lotus flew out straight for the Witch King. The Witch King, who had be a spirit and saw the King of Shadow purged, trembled when she saw the white lotus that seemed harmless. She immediately released the teleportation without any hesitation and moved thousands of meters away in a sh. The white lotus that was released was not her domain of flourishing lotus but the terrifying domain of purification. And the little lotus burst forth among the area of the bone dragons. Pieces of white petals spread out and infected the bone dragons bodies. More than forty strong bone dragons in the air were shaking violently! The imprints of petal solidified, though their huge bodies did not change, the fire in their eyes slowly died out. The armor of the Knight of Judgment on the Bone Dragon King erupted a blinding icy blue me that made the Bone Dragon King frenzy. Although he gave his subordinates to the Witch King, they were his people! Previous battles were also heavy losses, but most of those that had been killed were able to recover slowly as the undead creatures were almost immortal as long as the fire of their soul did not die. However, the lotus attack was totally different, the Bone Dragon King clearly felt that his subordinates souls were being purged and they were really dying! A total of more than a hundred fires of soul and half were destroyed by this blow, how could he still remain calm? The Knight of Judgment also realized how serious the problem was. When the Bone Dragon King exploded, he held his sword high in his hand and a storm of purple and ck mixed with icy blue burst out from him. However, how could Long Haochen let him seed? That was his lover over there. Your opponent is me, Long Haochen said calmly but it seemed like a verdict for the bone dragon army. Then, out of the three spheres of light surrounded the Armor of Eternity, the turquoise sphere suddenly glowed and merged into the Sword of Eternity. The sword was rendering with a turquoise color. Be ready for my sword. All things resuscitation. For a moment, the Knight of Judgment felt that everything around him suddenly changed and that all darkness and fire had vanished. What was presented in front of him was a world of nature. Tall trees and vegetation were everywhere, and the faint fragrance of flowers mingled with the soft rustle of earth and nts. The sun was shining on the earth, and the warm aura was gently sweeping in. The Knight of Judgment was shocked, and so was the Bone Dragon King. They were not born dead! Looking at this scene full of nature, their souls were violently trembling. Their strong intention to fight was gone by half. However, the next moment they were pulled back to reality. The crisis of life roused them from their illusions. The intense pain made their souls boil. At this time, the Knight of Judgment was three kilometers away from Long Haochen. On the Knight of Judgments body, there were a total of eighteen green crisscrossed scars. Each scar gave off a strong aura of life and was constantly counteracting its aura of death. The Knight of Judgment stared nkly at Long Haochen and asked, What did you say the name of this sword attack was? Long Haochen was a little puzzled. Although he knew that the power of this sword was very strong, he did not expect that the Knight of Judgment would suddenly became silly. Though the armor of the Bone Dragon King blocked most of the attack, the sword should have hurt him too. Long Haochen answered the Knight of Judgments question, This is one of the three sword skills attached to the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the resurrection of all things with the Sword of Eternity. The fire of the Knight of Judgments soul suddenly became very sad. Everythinges back to life. Everythinges back to life. Is the world where you came from this green? Long Haochen nodded. Of course. We call it nature. The mood of the Knight of Judgment suddenly changed and he suddenly gave a furious roar, Why should we lose this vital green forever? Austin and Griffin. Austin and Griffin. You have to die! You have to die! Aaaah! As he madly roared, the eighteen crisscrossed scars on his body healed at a surprising speed. A thick aura of darkness rushed crazily to his body and dispelled all of his aura of life from the Sword of Eternity. Once again, he advanced towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen looked serious, but not anxious as he did not worry about the situation behind him. With Caier being there, he did not need to worry about Hao Yue. Long Haochens all things resuscitation split towards the Knight of Judgment. At the same time, the bone dragon army had also disintegrated. The purifying power of the white lotus was like water that washed away the dirt, it purified their souls thoroughly. The bone dragons fell from the sky andnded on the ground. Their bones slept peacefully. At the end of the purification, they had thefort of relief and not a slight bit of fear. The King of Loathe gaped at the bone dragons falling in front of him. He was not stupid, so he immediately turned around and flee instead of facing Caier as his strength was not in aplete state yet. Caier nkly stood there and all the purged souls in the air turned into purgatory powers, like the sea, and gathered to her. Caiers aura was stronger than ever. In Long Haochens perception, he did not know what would happen to his otherrades in this fight against the ten sovereign Kings, he did not worry about the deterioration of the situation. He remained very calm because he knew he could protect the lives of his friends through the blink of an eye. However, he could not guarantee that Hao Yue would not be threatened. But, how can he be so calm? His most precious card, Caier! When they came to this world of the undead, it could be said that all the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were weakened, and this world was not suitable for most of them to fight. It was hard for them to recover in this battlefield, especially because of the light attribute, except for Han Yus Divine Light furnace. Chapter 766 - Long Haochens Hidden Trump, Caier! (III)

Chapter 766: Long Haochens Hidden Trump, Caier! (III)

However, not all members became weakened in this world. In the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, there was one person who was best suited tobat in such an environment. Her strength would multiply many times and that person was Caier. The purifying power of Caier was the absolute nemesis for the undead. Moreover, she only had to cleanse a powerful undead creature, and the cleansed fire of the undead creatures soul would be transformed into a purifying power for her to use. This was how Electrolux transferred its power to Caier which allowed Caier and Long Haochen to be the first to break through the ninth-level bottleneck and quickly gained their own domain. Even during the cleansing process, the Sickle of Death also helped her evolve. Long Haochen had already made targets and battle ns before they came here. The solution was simple: procrastination. Because their goal was only to block the enemy and to buy enough time for Hao Yue, not to fight these undead creatures. Therefore, although the two sidesunched violent collisions at first, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group still slightly reserved their power, especially Caier and Long Haochen. If Caiers power of purification were to be exposed too soon, it would have attracted the attention of the Sovereign Kings, who had the power to control this world and who had the strength tomand their full explosion. By using her power at the right time would be more beneficial to Hao Yues evolution. But now, when the Sovereign Kings finally gave in and Chen Yinger was repulsed, Caier broke out. With the Tower of Eternity and her domain of purification along with the seven God of Deaths, she purged the King of Shadow before he could react. Then she released a white lotus and absorbed the purifying power from the fire of the bone dragons souls in a short time. She instantly gained the upper hand in this battlefield and not only that the gap was closed, but also the ten Sovereign Kings became nine and the army of bone dragons got nearly annihted. From weak to strong, Caiers rose to prominence had stunned all Sovereign Kings, and none wanted to be purged next. And the army of undead creatures below also began to attack the mountains where Hao Yue was at this time. Water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness represented the six properties of light in different directions at the same time. Among the twelve Sacred Saints, six of them expert in melee and another six experts in magic. Their abilities were very bnced, and their souls strongly endowed with their own super fighting ability. The members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were no match for them in terms ofbat experiences and skills. Therefore, they did not need to takemand at all and they were always ready to fight as soon as the army of undead creatures began to attack. Six spells, six incantations, and six simultaneous sts from six directions. Therge army of undead creatures instantly fell like wheat being reaped. The lower-ranked undead creatures were directly destroyed while the higher-ranked undead creatures went into full defense. However, a great deal of dark magic, curses, and undead magic also began to bombard the mountain frantically. There were too many undead creatures. One could say that all the higher-ranked undead creatures in this world gathered here. The curse of the twelve Sacred Saints could only disrupt their attacks, but it couldnt stop thempletely, especially the first-leveled undead creatures that had strong immunity to magic. Caier snorted and raised her left hand to release the Tower of Eternity once again while she floated down. The Tower of Eternity zoomed in and covered the whole mountain. Under the magical bombardment of arge number of high-ranking undead creatures, the Tower of Eternity burst into circles of colorful glow. There was a lot of wind and rain. Caier fluttered off with her toes resting on the spire of the Tower of Eternity. She was holding her Sickle of Death high up and the power of purification poured into the Tower of Eternity. A strange hum broke out from the Tower of Eternity, but it was so faint that many of the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group could not hear it. But to the undead creatures, it was like a giant hammer thundered down on their chests. Layers of white light spread out from Tower of Eternity which amplified Caiers domain. The Tower of Eternity had strong spiritual characteristics, coupled with the release of the purification force. The twoplemented each other and immediately made the white glow expand its span. The undead creatures magic and purgatory forces were crossed, and the scattered magic would not be able to break the defense of the Tower of Eternity for a while. All undead creatures in the domain of purification, regardless of its rank, immediately entered a state of rigidity, and the fire of their souls began to suffer in the domain of purification. The lower-ranking undead creatures couldnt resist for half an hour and would be cleansed in an instant. While the higher-ranking undead creatures were desperately trying to escape the power of the domain of purification. The number of undead creatures was so big, in addition to those who could fly, how could the undead creatures on the ground rushed out? Then, there came a scene that made all the Sovereign Kings extremely shocked. Their mighty army of undead creatures fell from inside out like a wheat harvest. The body remained the same, but their souls had been cleansed. After their souls were purified, the power of their souls returned to the Tower of Eternity, which then was transferred to Caier. There were so many undead creatures, and the purifying power from them was so great that Caier could only absorb a small part of it, and the rest was released again through the Tower of Eternity which made the domain of purification to expand more. Let alone ordinary undead creatures, even the sovereign Kings also began to be swept away by the domain of purification. They panicked and retreated as far away as they could. The army of undead creatures began to crumble and there was a great deal of confusion. Seeing what happened to the army of undead creatures in front, other undead creatures began to retreat. Countless lower-ranked undead creatures became a stepping stone for the higher-ranked undead creatures. The domain of purification continued to expand outward at a steady rate. The scariest thing about the domain of purification at this time was that its expansion was almost infinite. There were so many undead creatures here that the power of purification became enormous. While it was not possible to fully control these purification forces through the Tower of Eternity, it was possible to spread them out. The power of purification grew stronger and stronger, and it was not only the undead creatures that were being cleansed, but also the ck rocks and the intenseva fire on the ground. It showed a brown earth. The earth ttened out. Caier, at this time, was more like the ruler of the world than the Knight of Judgment. The domain of purification, in the process of sublimation, had covered an area of nearly 10,000 meters in diameter. All undead creatures in the domain were covered by the domain for a period of time then a white light rose from the top of their heads before they melted into the domain of purification. The difference between the strong and the weak was only the length of duration within the domain of purification. With the support of the domain of purification, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group all made counterattacks. The Sovereign Kings power greatly decreased due to the power of the domain of purification and they must protect their own fire of souls from this domain. Therefore, their only choice was to retreat and escape to a further ce. The members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group pursued the retreating enemies to leave a few marks on the sovereign Kings bodies. Boom The Knight of Judgment went all out with a sword to shake Long Haochen. Seeing the whiteness of the domain around him, he looked up to the sky and screamed, No! No! The army of undead creatures waspletely driven back by the domain of purification, and the domain of terror was no longer able to use even its domain sealing ability. After sublimation, the domain of purification became too strong. The Knight of Judgment held up his ewe with both hands and chopped out a sword fiercely in the direction of Caier. The icy blue light flew straight to Caier with a roar. However, when the sword light had advanced forward only a hundred meters, it was blocked in the middle of the air by a turquoise figure. It was the Sword of Eternitys All Things Resuscitation. The same move, yet again blocked the Knight of Judgments attack. The gap between both sides practice levels was huge. Long Haochen couldnt touch the Knight of Judgment. But again, the Knight of Judgment also couldnt get rid of Long Haochen. With the support from the Armor of Eternity, Long Haochens speed was not any less than that of the Knight of Judgment. Although Long Haochen only used a sword, he was able to repel the Knight of Judgment repeatedly. The Knight of Judgment began to feel despair and the domain of purification also began to burn his spirit. Although in a short period of time, this domain could do nothing serious to him, it at least prevented him from absorbing any dark forces to replenish himself and cut off his ties with his subordinates. Its all over. Even without Austin and Griffin or even the presence of these humans, its not for us, the Sovereign Kings, to fight. Is the domain of purification going to expand endlessly? If thats true, then, will this world be purified? If so, it is only a matter of time before even I, myself, will be cleansed. Chapter 767 - The Faded One (I)

Chapter 767: The Faded One (I)

When the Knight of Judgment began to despair in the domain of purification, Long Haochen did not attack him, but turned back andnded beside Caier. The green balls of light that surrounded him fell quietly behind Caier, and pure vitality slowly poured into Caiers body. At the same time, the white ball of light around him was also slowly suspended in his chest, and the thick white light was injected into the precious stone, which was a huge force of chaos. Just for a moment, a delicate sense of fragmentation appeared around the space of Long Haochens body. And then there was a Keng sound behind his purple symbol broke into pieces and scattered in the air. In battle, Long Haochen couldnt unlock the Knight of Judgments seal but in the nonbat state, it was too difficult to limit Long Haochen when he was wearing the Armor of Eternity. And now the Knight of Judgment used his energy the most against the domain of purification. How could he also fight Long Haochen? The expansion of the domain of purification suddenly stopped. The white glow no longer released into the distance, but rose slowly into the air. Even though the power of purification was killing the undead creatures, the air became cleaner than ever, clearing away the worlds filth in a big way, wherever the power of purification expanded to. Against the undead creatures, they didnt have too much psychological burden, let alone these undead creatures that tried to attack Hao Yue at all costs. But Caiers attacks were stopped by him, not for the undead creatures, but for Caier herself. Through the link of the soul chain, Long Haochen felt that Caier was in an unstable state, so he came to her side as soon as possible. When he came into contact with Caiers body, he was surprised to find that Caier was on the verge of losing control and breaking down. He hastened to infuse her body with the light of life attached to the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to maintain the state of her body. At the same time, he quickly urged himself to recover. After the seal was lifted, he integrated the domain of eternity into Caiers domain of purification, to help her stabilize the domain and prevent it from further expansion and it scattered since more purifying power in the air. Actually, Caier was not the one to me because it was the first time she had experienced such a situation. Magnified through the Tower of Eternity, the purgatory was so deadly to the undead creatures. In a short period, the purifying power from the higher-ranked undead creatures became terrifying. Caiers body filled up almost instantly. As the inheritor of Death, it would have been good for her to have a great amount of purifying power which would prompt her to ascend rapidly and spiritual openings would continue to open one by one. But her bodys ability to bear all these powers also had a limit! The problem began when the outside world was flooding in with so much cleansing power that the outside world was beyond her control. Since everything happened so fast, when Caier realized something was wrong, the power of purification already began to get out of control. She couldnt even ask for help. If not because of the Tower of Eternity, Caier might have been directly hit by the power of purification that rushed back. Fortunately, Long Haochen found out about the problem in time. The level of the domain of Eternity was the highest in this world and in the holynd. Caier did not have half of the exclusion than that of Long Haochen. Therefore, when the two domains integrated, the power of Long Haochens Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation quickly took control of the situation. The first thing to do was to stop the expansion of the domain of purification and to stop those purifying forces from expanding outwards to cleanse the undead creatures. Only by this way would no more purifying power be added. With Long Haochens help, Caier quickly calmed down. Light circted inside her beautiful eyes as she saw Long Haochen again. Long Haochen slightly nodded to her reproachfully which indicated that she should continue to maintain this state. Danger was also an opportunity, and such a situation was absolutely unattainable. One more of that vast power of purification would give Caier a boost. Ascension was much, much faster than self-cultivation. Long Haochen knew Caier was in a crisis, but the Sovereign Kings did not know! The Knight of Judgment saw the domain of purification stopped expanding under the control of Long Haochen. The fire of soul in his eyes appeared some subtle changes. At this time, the voice of Long Haochen echoed in the vast world of the undead. I have no intention of fighting you. We dont want to kill them all, but if you continue to attack, dont me our ruthless hands. If you wish we will wipe all of you outpletely. Long Haochens voice was not loud and did not have any emotions, but it was so clear to all the Sovereign Kings. At this time, the domain of purification terrified them, and the pure white light emitted ayer of supreme pale gold. The higher-ranked undead creatures, which had been covered by the domain of purification, almost immediately extinguished the fire of their souls after the appearance of this pale gold. The areas of convergence were far more powerful than before. Even the nine remaining Sovereign Kings recoiled at the Light of Eternity and dared not step forward, let alone ordinary undead creatures. There was no longer a gap, only pure restraint. The Witch King said with a shrill voice, What if Austin and Griffin wake up and are willing to spare all of us? Long Haochen said coldly, Though I dont know what Hao Yue did to you in his previous life. All I know is that it has been targeted by you ever since it was born. If it was not lucky enough, it would have died at your hands. The Witch Kings voice grew a little louder. Thats because you dont know what it had been doing, and you dont know how horrible its been when its awakened. Long Haochen smiled coldly and said, I only know that it is my partner, my friend. As you may see, if you continue to attack us, you have no chance of winning but only to be killed by us. It would be better for Hao Yue to deal with you when it awakens than to die right now. You can judge for yourselves which is better. The Knight of Judgment said with a strange husky voice, Austin and Griffin are your friends? Arent you afraid of its awakening? Youre not weak, but youre nothingpared to Austin and Griffin when they wake up. Long Haochen replied coldly, Thats my problem. But I can tell you that the reason why Hao Yue returned to this world is because it wants to evolve. I will carry it with me for many more days toe and let it apany me in my world. If, as you say, this is itsst evolution, then it may never return to this world again. The Knight of Judgment said in disbelief, You mean it wont evere back again? Long Haochen replied, I cant promise it wont evere back again. But I can tell you that if you leave here now and you are no longer against Hao Yue, it also wont be against you in the future. Caier had gradually entered a state of enlightenment, and with her previous loss of control, she had lost the ability to fight in addition to maintain her domain. Although Long Haochen still had the hidden card, he was not willing to fight with these undead creatures. He could not bear the loss of even one member of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. How is that possible? Who are you to make any promises for Austin and Griffin? said the Witch King suspiciously. The mask on Long Haochens face rose slowly, and the nine jewels in his crown shone magnificently. He looked just like a Sovereign King. Heres my promise. He pointed to his forehead. Then, under the control of his mind, nine lines of purple and gold light gradually emerged. A faint purple, also appeared in the sky, connecting to him and Hao Yue. Whats this? The Knight of Judgment was shocked, and the other Sovereign Kings also became silent. Even the Bone Dragon King quickly removed his armor and moved to the Knight of Judgments side. In the fire of their souls, the same emotions rose. Blood Blood pact? How is that possible? Austin and Griffin have a blood bond with a human? The Witch King became a little stuttering from shock. All the other Sovereign Kings were as shocked as the Witch King. For a moment, the ck and red world became silent. Long Haochen asked with a deep voice, Am I qualified now? The Knight of Judgment did not answer Long Haochen directly. He quickly gathered with other Sovereign Kings to discuss something as a vast gray seemed to envelop their bodies. Long Haochen was not in a hurry, for him, to dy time was the best choice, whether it be Hao Yues evolution or Caiers recovering needed time. The other members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group also sensed the situations turnaround. All, except for Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi and the twelve Sacred Saints, gathered around Long Haochen. Si Maxian, under Han Yus Divine Light furnace, had recovered about seventy to eighty percent. Although Chen Yinger and Wang Yuanyuans states were worse, they could still fight. Bathed in the light of Eternity, they were not constrained by this world and the previous consumption was slowly recovering. Chapter 768 - The Faded One (II)

Chapter 768: The Faded One (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Almost an hour had passed before the gray light that covered the Sovereign Kings faded away. The Knight of Judgment faced Long Haochen again before the previous strength hadpletely disappeared. Respectful human king. You have demonstrated your ability and sincerity with the deed of blood. Since you are in a position to make promises for Austin and Griffin, we have decided to take your word for it. And I hope you keep your promise to restrain Austin and Griffin. The Knight of Judgment changed the way he called Long Haochen which showed hispromise and recognition for Long Haochens strength. Long Haochen nodded without expression and said, I wont repeat what I said again. Although the Knight of Judgment did get the answer he wanted from Long Haochen, he did not ask Long Haochen any further. He looked at Hao Yue in the distance with fear as he led the group of the Sovereign Kings and their army of undead creatures to recede slowly. Looking at the Sovereign Kings gradually disappearing, Long Haochen also sighed. Layers of shimmering white light diffused from his limbs, and eventually faded into a shimmering white light that surged toward the huge gems on his breastte. When all the light converged, the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation disappeared, along with the gems on his breastte. Long Haochens body slightly shook, it was unusually pale, and he needed Han Yus support to stand up straight. His weakness was not due to the excessive use of his spiritual energy, but from his own soul. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation gave him a sense of infinite power. But the mental energy required to control this terrifying force was also terrifying. Despite his full integration with the throne, Long Haochen nearly exhausted his spirit in the previous battle. It was normal that his soul became weak. That was one of the main reasons he didnt want to continue the fight. If he continued to fight, he would have exhausted his soul energy too much. After a short breath, Long Haochen had stabilized his state and said to hisrades, Han yu, Brother Zhang, please keep a look around. The others fanned outside the domain of purification. We will wait for Hao Yue to evolve. Roger. They moved quickly to upy a good spot. With Caiers domain of purification, it was impossible for any undead creatures to stealth inside the domain undetected. Long Haochen stayed by Caiers side, he closed his eyes to keep his spirits up. Then he was surprised to find that the Holy Unicorn ne on his chest began to emit gentle spiritual waves that connected with his spirit. The strength of the Holy Unicorn could not directly help him recover his spirit, but it could relieve his mental fatigue. In this way, the spirit of Long Haochen would recover faster, just like in his normal practice. As Caier continuously absorbed the power of purification, it became thinner and thinner while her aura became stronger and stronger. The Tower of Eternity beneath her became as white as the power of purification. The army of undead creatures had indeed retreated with no sign of returning. Long Haochen could guess the Knight of Judgment and other Sovereign Kings thoughts. Their thoughts were simple, if they were to keep fighting, then they would have no chance of winning. Nor could they stop Austin and Griffins awakening. The most they could do was to give Long Haoches teammates some loss so that death will be avenged. Would Austin and Griffin spare them once they wake up? Long Haochen proved their close rtionship with his blood deed so the Knight of Judgment took the bet to trust Long Haochen that he would keep his promise and no longer stand against them. By weighing the pros and cons, the Sovereign Kings had no other choice. It was impossible to tell time in this world of ck and red. Caiers meditation was ascending, Hao Yues awakening continued, and the others remained vignt and waited. In the other world, too, a great battle unfolded. ... Bang The nine-color magic light burst. A dazzling figure fell far away and hit nearly a thousand square meters of the woods. This dazzling figure was a special creature. A beautiful one with its body green with a little blue. Its head was simr to the dragon n, about 15 meters in height and a long tail with a circle of dark purple lines. The most beautiful part was its wings. The color of the upper part of the wings was aquamarine, same as the body. It gradually turned pink as it extended down and finally became a ruby color. The wings were particrly wide extending from the back and also gradually turning into purple color. The edge of the wings had a slender angle and the front of the wings were the longest angle. The whole wings were covered with golden lines, including the shape of the moon. Its eyes were also turquoise, but at that moment, they were full of anger, and its powerful natural aura was fading. There was also a ckened scar on the lower right abdomen. A cold, clear voice echoed in the air. Its no use. You cant stop me. Your practice is not weak. But theres still a gap between us. Besides, youre just an elf dragon. In the distance, a figure quietly suspended in the air. A cascade of ck hair floated behind like a ck wheel. Pale skin and blue eyes that reflected the stars of the universe. There was even a faint smile. Was that the God of Devils, Fengxiu? This was the human world, very close to the Zhennanguan, where the Priest Temple was located. However, the Temple did not receive any news. Not just human, even if it was high-ranked devils, even that Moon Devil God or the Star Devil God wouldnt know if the God of Devils came here who should have stayed in the Devils Imperial Pce, being isted from the outside world. The elf dragon slowly climbed up, spreading its wings to fly into the air again. Its body was a little unstable. It looked at Fengxiu and said, God of Devils, you have to pass over my body first if you want to enter the Dream Shrine. Maybe you can beat me. But in the absence of the Devil Pir, its possible that you will also die along with me. The God of Devils shook his head gently and said, No, you are wrong. How can Ie without absolute certainty? Although in order to cover up the story and also in order not to let those disgusting humans discover me, I did not bring the Devil Pir along. But I still have the power to kill you. As he spoke, his right hand slowly pointed out in front of him, and then a strange streak of ck appeared. It looked very faint, but the moment it appeared, all the light around it seemed to be absorbed to it, and the light turned to darkness. The elf dragon roared as nine-colors light burst out from its body. The strong spirit power waves diffused, and the spiritual force was not any weaker than that of the God of Devils. However, the next moment, all the light suddenly disappeared. From the distance, the elf dragon looked like antern, but now it suddenly extinguished. The light gradually restored, the God of Devils stood still while the elf dragon was still suspended in the air. At this time, Fengxius face became even paler and his body that suspended in the air became a bit shaky. Had the God of Devils fallen into weakness? On the other side, there was a small ck spot on the elf dragons chest. This ck spot was spreading out like a gue. Although the rate of spreading was not fast, the elf dragons huge vitality was slowly fading. Fengxiu coughed twice. He couldnt continue to hover in the air and fell on the ground. But there was still a faint smile on his handsome face. Your total spiritual strength is somewhere between ny-seven and ny-eight hundred and eighty thousand. But my spiritual power had sessfully reached over a million. I do not belong to this world. One cannot be God just by a spiritual breakthrough. However, I have to suffer from my spiritual power every day. This is divine punishment. So, I need just one god position to settle this problem once and for all. With the gods in the body, I can cross through space, through the world, and not be restricted by the rules of the world. No longer bothered by life length. You should feel honored to die under my attack of the faded one. You are the first. And, of course, probably thest. I am afraid there is no other in this holynd worthy of my offer. The elf dragon zed over at Fengxiu as the ck spot had spread almost all over its body. The core of that ck spot began to flutter a little light and its body was copsing! The faded one, you have already achieved this step. Youve been able to hold out in the Sealed Divine Throne. You should be the strongest of all. Im sorry, your highness Goddess of Nature. I did my best. I can no longer protect your Dream Shrine. As it spoke, the speed of ck spot spreading increased rapidly, and the elf dragon slowly dissipated into innumerable points of light in the air. As it disappeared, everything around it seemed to dim down. The aura of nature was also fading rapidly. Fengxiu sat cross-legged on the ground, as if there was no perception of what had just happened. His face was white, but he looked very calm. Circles of ck light began to appear around his body. In a few moments, the invisible pressure had spread from him again. And all the surrounding nts began to wither rapidly, which was a sign of vitality being deprived.

Chapter 769: The Faded One (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Poof, poof, poof. Three groups of white light spurted out in the sky and gradually condensed into the shape of pure white lotus. Caier sighed and then slowly opened her eyes. She was very surprised. Level Nine, Rank Four! By virtue of the purification of the undead creatures in the domain of purification and the enlightenment that followed, she broke through the barrier one after another, and advanced to level nine rank four. Her practice level was even more than Long Haochen now. The Tower of Eternity also changed to a brilliant white with her evolution, which finally became one with her. It waspletely separated from the previous God of Devils, Electrolux. Congrattions, Caier. Long Haochen looked at his lover with a bright smile on his face. From the beginning of the enlightenment to the present, ording to the calctions of Long Haochen, about ten days had already passed in the human world. In these past ten days, not only Caier had improved dramatically, the rest of the group also gained a wealth ofbat experiencebined with their own new equipment and their own understanding after the war with the sovereign Kings and undead creatures. They made a lot of progress. The previous war was dangerous, but it was also a testing ground for the rising power of the group. Caier smiled and said, My spiritual power should be almost as good as yours and my domain may be a little higher than yours. After Long Haochen fused with the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he maintained the status of the highest rank with level nine of rank three, the bottleneck of rank three. With the Heart of Eternity, his spiritual power was actually more than four hundred thousand. Caier had broken through to rank four, but the amount of psychic power was still simr to that of Long Haochen. Long Haochen smiled and said, Then from now on youll be the one to protect me? Caier took him by the hand and chuckled. No, she said. Youre supposed to protect me at all times. Pity that you are born as a man. By the way, what about the evolution of Hao Yue? It was a pleasant surprise for her reaching a new level. The Tower of Eternity had also absorbed some of the purifying power and had increased in nature to benefit her overall ascension. Long Haochen said, The evolution of Hao Yue is almostplete. Take a look. Caier looked in the direction where Long Haochen pointed and Hao Yue was no longer quiet, its body had grown so much that it was even bigger than a dragon. He was already more than forty meters long, and each neck had grown thicker. The purple scales gave off a strong sheen. A faint of terrifying smell loomed. The twelve Sacred Saints were afraid to stay close to him. The two giant bulges on the outermost edge continued to tremble, and the tips began to ooze withvender liquid. Apparently, there were also two heads. When they grow out, the evolution of Hao Yue would beplete. Long Haochen said, Hao Yue in the process of evolution seems to have been absorbing a special force in this world. The connection between us cannot tell me clearly what that force is. But Im sure its not some dirty dark element or the fire element of this world. It should be a different kind of power. As if it was its own power. Caier raised her eyebrows a little and said, Haochen. Both the God of Devils and the undead creatures here want to fight against Hao Yue, it seems that Hao Yue after full growth will have a great threat to them. If Hao Yue is really that strong, will it... Long Haochen sighed before he hugged her slender waist and said, Hao Yue is my good brother. All I can do is to trust him. Should he be abandoned because of doubts about its future power? I cant possibly do that. So, I had no choice. And I also believe that in a previous life, Hao Yue may be what they call Austin and Griffin. But in this life, it is just my good brother Hao Yue. The deed of blood brought not only the connection between us, but also the fact that I had changed its nature. In addition to its own noble and powerful blood. A part of it is my blood. Caier nodded gently. Okay. Whatever you decide, we will support you unconditionally. Although until now Long Haochen did not know the true origin of Hao Yue, he did not want to investigate further. No matter what background Hao Yue came from, how powerful it was before, how destructive it was. It was still his brother. Could he be so afraid of the future power of Hao Yue and be against him? Almost done, said Long Haochen suddenly. At the same time, nine lines of purple and gold on his forehead appeared in an instant. The intense purple and golden glow illuminated even a few dozen square meters of the surrounding area. Caier, too, was startled. The same terrifying aura as Hao Yue suddenly emerged in Long Haochen, which even thrilled her domain of purification. The next moment, a sh of purple light shed across, and Long Haochen instantly went to Hao Yues body. The purple and golden light began to spread from his forehead, and in an instant, it spread all over. His whole body became the same color. The sudden change also woke up the rest of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. When they came to their senses, they dispersed quickly. At the same time, they looked around them more carefully. Hao Yues evolution hade to a critical moment and Long Haochen seemed to be affected by it. This was obviously the most dangerous time. However, Caiers timely awakening became the backbone of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group as her powerful purifying power was enough of a deterrent. Caier pointed her Sickle of Death in her right hand in the air and three white lotuses, which had been condensed, flew out. The Three white lotuses flew toward three different directions, which overlooked Hao Yue at the center from above in the distance. Wasnt that the flourishing lotuses? If there was an attack from the undead creatures, regardless of the direction, the lotus would explode. The members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group all knew the tactic well. Those experts in closebat stayed outside and the sorcerer stayed inside. Without hesitation, Chen Yinger released the door of creatures once again. Chen Yinger learned many lessons from her battle with the Witch King and now she made great progress with her summoning. This time, only one door of creatures opened, and a very special creature came out. It was a white horse with a crystal-clear white body. Apart from its color and its brilliant white, it looked like any other horse. But it was not long before everyone saw how powerful it was. The horse moved around in a sh like white lightning. It unexpectedly went to the flourishing lotus and gently touched the flourishing lotus with its head. It was a strange scene. The white light from the flourishing lotus did not repel at all. Then a white glow suddenly appeared from the feet of the horse. As far as the rings went, the soft white diffused. It was the same purifying power as Caier. This is a beast of purification. The legendary horse of death. Chen Yinger smiled as she pointed her finger towards Caier. The beast of purification then looked at Caier and felt a close connection immediately. It went straight to Caier with an amazing speed and rubbed its head against Caier. Caier was overjoyed when she felt a thick purification aura from its body. With the support from the beast of purification, her purifying power greatly increased. It was much easier for her to fight undead creatures in this world. They were here to protect the Hao Yues evolution carefully. The evolution of Hao Yue also reached the most critical moment. Ayer of purple emitted from the body of Hao Yue constantly. Above the convergence of its huge body, Long Haochen was at the center of these purple colors. This purple color was the thought of destruction, but because of the blood bond, Long Haochens body and his original strength did not conflict. The power of destruction was greater than his power of God of Light. As these destructive thoughts poured madly into his body, the bottleneck of Long Haochens level nine of rank three crashed. The inner power was increasing rapidly. It consisted of the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation as well as the power from Hao Yue. The scales on Hao Yues body began to divide gradually. The scales that were previouslyrge gradually split into pieces of small scales as its body grewrger, which grew to the same size as two palms. Then the upper edges became nine criss crossed lines and the refracted purple light turned into a magical color. The magical color continuously changed its colors. The purple color from Hao Yues scales was elusive as it was different from each angle with different depth, which made it look so mysterious yet so colorful. When this magical purple color turned the darkest, it seemed as if Hao Yue had disappeared from this ck and red world. The two great bulges trembled even more, and more purple liquid oozed out, so much that even the broken lines could be seen. Hao Yues aura shot up like a blowout. It broke through level nine in an instant and still continued to rise. In the blink of an eye, it was more than the level of Long Haochen. Atst, at the left-most bump, there was a loud poof and arge head came out and roared up into the air. The elusive purple scales were put in glory immediately and the aura of Hao Yue flourished to break out again. And then there was another big head that broke through at the right side. Immediately, a strong aura sublimated again. Chapter 770 - Eight-Heads Hao Yue (I)

Chapter 770: Eight-Heads Hao Yue (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Haochens body could not be seen because it had been covered by the purple lightpletely. And Hao Yues body grew evenrger, it reached over 50 meters in length and turned into a monster. Hao Yues two new heads were also of different colors. The big head on the left was in dark gold with only one eye on the top of the head. Compared with the other heads, it was obviouslyrger than a third of the head. Thergest horn was two meters long. The metallic sheen was formidable. That one eye continuously sent out a golden color. It was a golden eye. Therge head on the other side was purplish ck, but not dark. In the corner of the head, there was a ball of lightning which constantly shone, revealing its own properties. The great head had a single horn, lightning shaped at the bottom, and a globe at the top that looked like a tomato. After these two big heads drilled out, the other six big heads also sessively lifted up, eight big heads at the same time. The scene was too spectacr. Its huge body was like a mountain with magical purple scales and eight heads that represented eight attributes respectively. It looked truly terrifying. The current Hao Yue had aura higher than that of the Knight of Judgment, around level nine of rank seven. Layers of purple light rose in the air which gradually condensed and became a purple cloud around its body. The purple clouds spread out slowly. The frightening atmosphere of destruction forcibly filled the air. Soon the whole sky turned purple. There was even a purple sun at the top. The members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group all looked at Hao Yue and felt breathless. Hao Yue became so strong that they couldnt measure its true strength. The wave of the spirit was more than Knight of Judgment. No one knew to what extent its huge body and its terrifying power had reached. The only thing the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group worried about was Long Haochen. Hao Yues practice level already surpassed Long Haochen and with such a strong destruction atmosphere, could Long Haochen control it? Caier and the others were also deeply concerned about Long Haochen. Hao Yues huge wings slowly spread, his strong body was propped up by his limbs, and the eight heads roared again. Its eyes were previously in different colors, but they suddenly turned purple at the same time. At the same time, they spewed a purple breath at Long Haochen, who was suspended in the air. What is Hao Yue doing? Wang Yuanyuan asked nervously. We have to trust Haochens judgment, Caier said while staring at the scene in the distance, even though she was secretly nervous. Even if it turned out that Hao Yue would go against Long Haochen, they were already toote to take a shot. Although Hao Yue was expected to gain some strength after the evolution, no one expected it to be this powerful. But Hao Yue soon reassured them. A purplish-golden light glistened in the air, like a purplish-golden jewel suspended over its vast body. The thick purplish-golden lightnded on Long Haochens body and the nine lines of purplish-golden light on his forehead began to shine brighter. The nine lines began to bulge slightly, shrank a little and then stayed firmly on his forehead. This time, the nine purplish-golden lines didnt just pop up temporarily, but they stuck there like tattoos. Long aochens aura also changed. Though not like Hao Yues outbreak, his practice level also continued to improve. By this time, all his clothes had disappeared, and he was purple and gold. His heart of Eternity was beating violently at his chest and the white light was shining within the purplish-golden lights. This represented the ce where Long Haochens elixir was and it was one of his greatest secrets. There were also white glows on his forehead, shoulders, hips, knees and elbows. And from the top of Long Haochens spine that extended down, each group of white light represented an orifice. This represented the power of Long Haochen. At first, there were only thirty-nine bundles of white lights. But along with the strength of the Hao Yue, more white light began to emerge into Long Haochens body. Forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven forty-nine. In the blink of an eye, Long Haochen had been promoted to the level nine of rank four. Once again, he surpassed Caier. One more step forward and he would reach level nine or rank five. If he entered level nine of rank five, it would be a great leap. The effect of blood deed was fully revealed at this time. Long Haochen and Hao Yueplemented each other. One growth also brought growth to the other one. This time, Hao Yue went from six to eight after the evolution, its strength increased like an explosion. Long Haochens practice level also increased more than the sum of all the previous evolutions. Suddenly, Long Haochens purplish-golden lights shone brightly, and then, all the holes in his body all lit up, and even temporarily the white light turned purplish-gold. The fiftieth hole orifice brazenly appeared. Level nine of rank five. Long Haochen finally broke through to the level nine of rank five. The strength of Hao Yue helped him break through two bottlenecks. The spirit continued to ascend, but the rate of ascension began to decline significantly. Fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three Until the fifty-seven orifices appeared, it finally stopped increasing. The purplish-golden glow also became stable. At this point, the total amount of Long Haochens spiritual power became highest among the Temple federation. With his Heart of Eternity, his spiritual power was beyond that of the Holy Knight of Starry Sky, Yang Haoyu. The light glowed and converged. The aura of Long Haochen also gradually stabilized. The purple color from Hao Yues eight big heads gradually dispersed; each restored its original color. And its eyes were so friendly.?Apparently, it didnt change his feelings towards Long Haochen after the evolution. The purple and golden rays slowly converged. Only the nine lines of purplish-golden light imprinted on Long Haochens forehead did not fade away. Then Long Haochen slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were still clear gold, but the moment he opened his eyes, there was a faint sh of purple at the bottom of his eyes. Long Haochen looked at Hao Yue underneath his body and was shocked. Not only because of its strength and its beautiful body but also his own increased growth rate! The spiritual orifices increased from thirty-nine to fifty-seven which made him the first human being to achieve this. With the help of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and Hao Yue, for the first time, Long Haochen had the confidence to challenge the God of Devils. His spiritual power also sublimated, and it was the outbreak of his spiritual power that shocked him the most. Long Haochen innate mental force was different from ordinary people, more powerful than ordinary people. And this time, after the evolution of Hao Yue, his mental power directly increased more than twice. This evolution was indeed very powerful. Suddenly, Hao Yues new two heads, the dark golden heads to both sides, with only one eye shining so brightly, the next moment, Hao Yue with body more than 50 meters long, disappeared. Huh? Long Haochen felt something was going wrong. When Hao Yue appeared again, its body was thousands of meters away, in the sky. A strong purple light suddenly burst. In the purple light, two figures appeared in front of Hao Yue. Wasnt that the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King? After all, some of them still did not trust Long Haochens promise wholeheartedly. At first, they nned to secretly attack and give them a shock but because of the three white lotuses suspended in the air, they could only quietly lurk. They prayed in the heart that Long Haochen could keep his words. When they saw that Hao Yues evolution wasplete, they felt like they had experienced the same horror six thousand years ago. However, with their practice level, they still couldnt hide it from Hao Yue. When Long Haochens finished increasing his level, Hao Yue immediatelyunched an attack. The new dark golden head gave a violent jolt, and a series of single horns shot up over its head, turned into eighteen terrifying metal des of light and shed the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King. At the same time, a sh of gold shot out of its single eye which attacked them both. The other seven heads did nothing but looked menacingly. As soon as the body of Hao Yue appeared before the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King, a deep purple light turned into a huge glow that blocked their way and left them no chance of escape. The Witch King shrieked and folded his hands in front of his chest. A purple bubble rolled out as she tried to ward off from the sh of gold. However, the bubble did not have time to take any action before the gold color burst. The light went straight down on her. The Witch King transformed into a golden statue in mid-air. Then it was cut off by the eighteen great metal des in the air. At this time, if the Knight of Judgment insisted on escaping, there was still a chance. After all, Hao Yue had just evolved, and all its abilities were not yet stable. The first target was the Witch King. It was possible to break out of the circle of purple light even if he at level nine of rank seven waspletely restrained by the attributes of Hao Yue. Chapter 771 - Eight-Heads Hao Yue (II)

Chapter 771: Eight-Heads Hao Yue (II)

However, the Knight of Judgment did not do that. As soon as he got out of the way, he stood in front of the Witch King. The huge purple and ck sword lifted up and turned into the light of the sky to ward off Hao Yues attack. Violently nging continued to explode in the air, the Knight of Judgment was defeated by Hao Yues new dark and golden head. Roar The other seven heads of Hao Yue roared, and a bright purple glow spread from his huge body. Although the strong members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group did not join the battle, they could feel what Hao Yue did. Lin Xin could not help but say, T-This is the Eight Attributes chaos element? How many of you have ever heard of the Eight Attributes Hybrid magic? Although Si Maxian was equally shocked, he said sarcastically, You got surprised easily. Dont you see it now? Its very powerful. It was indeed too strong. The Eight Attributes chaos elements were stripped off and were instantly cast. A circle of brilliant purple light struck on the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King. Both of these Sovereign Kings spiritual forces madly flew out. Especially the Knight of Judgment at the front, his dark attribute of ck was impacted entirely. The purple and ck sword in his hands had lost its luster. But at this time, Hao Yues dark golden head and all the angles of the light de in the air quickly merged into a huge sword and chopped towards the Knight of Judgment. At the same time, a thick purple color came from the mouths of the other seven heads. The Knight of Judgment was oppressed and could not escape. At this moment, the Witch King, who had been freed from the previous sh of gold, suddenly blocked in front of the Knight of Judgment without warning. Hao Yues dark golden head glistened with a cold sheen in its eyes. With a strike from this sword, the two Sovereign Kings could die. At this critical moment, suddenly, a light white void appeared. Khang A shrill hum spread so quickly that everyone from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group covered their ears in the distance. The Knight of Judgment and the Witch King both got bounced back. Hao Yue stood still while watching the figure flew out in the air. He did not try to pursue him. Wasnt that Long Haochen that stood in front of the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King? Roar! Hao Yue roared with a low voice. One would realize how strong Hao Yues attack was when one was facing in front of it. One strike from that metal de got Long Haochen with the Sword of Eternity in both hands paralyzed. A terrifying atmosphere of destruction has crossed the Sword of Eternity and left a white mark in the Armor of Eternity. Although the white line quickly disappeared, Long Haochen could still clearly feel the destructions aura. Hao Yue, thats enough. Long Haochen said with a deep voice, I promised them that if they stop interrupting your evolution, we will let them go. Now they cant threaten you anymore. Let them go. It was a narrow escape for the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King. They both stared nkly at the man in the Armor of Eternity that suspended in mid-air. He really kept his promise. He really stopped Austin and griffin from killing us. Hao Yue roared with its low voice repeatedly. It was obvious that he was not willing to let go of the two Sovereign Kings. Long Haochen groaned with anger. If you really want to do it, youll have to kill me first. He valued the promise most in his life. He also felt a sense of unease from this terrifying atmosphere of destruction. Hao Yues eight heads blinked its eyes at the same time as it stopped roaring. It pped its wings and went closer to Long Haochen slowly. All of its eight heads joined at once. Be careful, said the Witch King. But Long Haochen remained still. Hao Yues dark golden head red at the Witch King and then, along with its other seven heads, rubbing against Long Haochens body gently. They looked exactly the same as a pet and its owner. The Knight of Judgment and the Witch King were transfixed. In their mind, Austin and Griffin were frightening creatures! H-How could it act like this with a human being? And, this is a sign of submission, that is, it agrees with this human, not toe after us, right? With Hao Yue close to him, he felt a trace of grievance so Long Haochens face became rxed. He gently touched its two new heads. I know your grievance. But better to get rid of an enmity than keep it alive. And they dont threaten you anymore. If Im right, you must have given them a lot of pain in your previous life or else they wouldnt do this to you. Just let them go. Hao Yue gently nodded his head and no longer persisted. This was the first time Long Haochen got angry at it. Since he got panicked and could no longer cling to its thought. Long Haochen turned toward the Knight of Judgment and the Witch King and coldly said, You can go now. This wont happen if you hadnt been spying on us. Thank you for your forgiveness, great king of mankind. The Witch King and the Knight of Judgment bowed to Long Haochen at the same time. Long Haochen sighed and said, You heard what I said just now. If you can let go of that hatred in your heart, then let it go. The two undead men were silent, and after a few seconds, the Knight of Judgment said, If youve been through all that, youll see why we cant let go. Thank you for your forgiveness. Before we leave, Id like to remind you. Although the blood has made Austin and Griffin changed a lot. But its origin will not change, and when its full power is awakened, it may not be able to control its own mind. After he said that, the Knight of Judgment, once again, bowed to Long Haochen. Along with the Witch King, they turned into two rays of light and left. Long Haochen looked at the dark Hao Yue in front of him and was surprised. After its full power awakened? Is it possible to say that such a powerful Hao Yue is not in itsplete state? Just then, suddenly, a sh of green light appeared at Long Haochens chest, and a feeling of heart palpitations spread all over the body. Eh? This is the contract of Ye Xiaolei? Somethings wrong with Ye Xiaolei? Long Haochen was surprised, he immediately patted Hao Yues huge head and said, Hao Yue, you have just evolved so you should stay here and stabilize your domain first. Ill be right back. Then, he quickly tapped his hands and ayer of green light immediately spread out from there. In the blink of an eye, it had covered his whole body and together with the sh of light, he disappeared the next moment. He did not even have time to exin to his teammates, only a quick message to Caier: Ye Xiaolei. The Knight of Judgment flew silently forward while holding the wizened hand of the Witch King. Why did you get in front of me just now? the Knight of Judgment asked with a deep voice. The Witch Kings usual shrill voice softened. Weve lived too long. Im not afraid to die with you. Besides, you could have left. You know what? In fact, when I finally stood in front of you to face Austin and Griffin, my heart is not afraid of it. When you did not abandon me, and we face him together, I know, you still remember me, right? You have always taken care of me, not because I am superior, but because you have always remembered me, just as I remember you. You always refuse to admit it. But are you still going to keep lying to me, Augustine? The fire of the soul of the Knight of Judgment gave a slight throb. Yina, we are all dead. All we have left is the fire of the soul that hadsted for thousands of years. My body is so ugly, I Enough. Say nothing more. The Witch King, Yina, said mercilessly, Why cant the dead fall in love? Can you tell me why? Its just your sick pride. Once the prince but now the dead, you just cant face yourself. Or is our love limited to flesh, and without flesh you will deny it? No, of course not. The voice of the Knight of Judgment became louder. Yina, it was I who failed to protect you! I was not able to protect you in the most critical moment, helplessly watching you get killed, and turned into the dead. I dare not tell you, so ashamed that I was your once lover. When I became a dead man, I was so exhausted that all my hopes seemed to have been extinguished at that moment. Because I want to protect you that I managed to survive and be stronger. How can I not love you? In my heart, no matter what you be, you are my most beloved Yina. When the Witch King heard the Knight of Judgment, Augustine, saying that without any hesitation, the fire of her soul softened. I love you too, my Augustine. More than six thousand years have passed since that day of disaster that took our lives. However, for more than six thousand years, I have had no one but you in my mind, Augustine. Even though we are dead. Even though we have no future left My Augustine, even in this world of ck and red, I never want to be parted from you again. As she spoke, the Witch King leaned lightly into the arms of the Knight of Judgment. They had no sense of touch, but at this moment, the fire of their souls seemed to be mingling with each other. Their hearts throbbed softly. Chapter 772 - Eight-Heads Hao Yue (III)

Chapter 772: Eight-Heads Hao Yue (III)

Countless green light rose and turned into green columns in the sky then slowly dissipated. The ground trembled, the forest mourned, and cracks appeared in the air. Between these green light columns, the God of Devils stood there quietly while looking at an elusive green figure in the distance. Stop trying to fight back. The Dream Shrine has been destroyed by me. This Dream Paradise is about to copse. I already killed the elf dragon, too. Even if you take away its spirit, it wont help. The elf heart of the elf dragon is the best remedy,parable to resurrection. Unfortunately, it wont do you any good. I know, you are the Goddess of Nature. You should be honored to be in my soul. The voice of the God of Devils, Fengxiu was very gentle. All around his body were cracks in the space. However, these cracks had no effect on him. The green figure in the distance became clearer and clearer, while the aura of life emitted by the green light columns was bing weaker and weaker. Stop dreaming. I wont give it to you, even if I have to blow up the gods. Ye Xiaoleis cold voice filled with hatred. Her homnd got destroyed, the elf dragon that guarded the Dream Shrine for so many years also got killed by the God of Devils. The hatred in her heart had reached the peak. The God of Devils smiled and said, Do you think you can still blow up the gods? In front of me, any efforts are in vain. I am already a demigod, and even if you blow it up, I can reshape it and absorb it into my body. Here, Im in charge. You can only stall a little more time with this shattered Dream Paradise and the cracks in the space. Ive waited all these years and I still have the patience. Ye Xiaolei became silent. She knew very clearly that what the God of Devils said was true. He was so powerful that when he killed the elf dragon, he fully was in control. Since she stayed in the Dream Shrine, Ye Xiaolei could feel the death of the elves. Everything was toote. Paradise was her home. Her roots were all here. It was like the fruit growing on a big tree, if the tree fell down, then she had to be picked or die. No doubt, the God of Devils was waiting to pick her up. Will he rescue me? She didnt know. Ye Xiaoleis heart was full of sorrow. Even if he doese, will he be able to save me from the God of Devils? The God of Devils is so powerful, even if the Goddess of Nature gets re-shaped and stands here, she may not be able to defeat the God of Devils. After all, the Goddess of Nature is not the God of War! The God of Devils hands were kept behind his back as he silently felt the Dream Paradise burst out of the aura of life. His spiritual strength had been restored to the original nature, although these life auras was ipatible with his own darkness, it also could not cause any impact on him. From a distance, it looked like the whole ce was covered with a light purplish ck for a hundred miles. Everything within this range could not escape. Therefore, even Zhannanguan which was not far away from here could feel nothing strange. And what if they could find it out? Who could stop the God of Devils now? As the God of Devils looked up at the sky, he suddenly felt restless and there was a moment of confusion in his mind. Is he really not dead? He was shocked. Although the Star Devil God repeatedly assured him that Long Haochens aura had disappeared, his heart felt heavy still after learning this news. Of course, he did not believe that Long Haochen was not dead. With his practice level, he knew well whether Long Haochens heart really had exploded. There could be no mistake. Did a necromancer turn him into a spirit? At the thought of this, a harsh light shed across the God of Devils eyes. No matter how much he wanted Long Haochen to die, he still had a special feeling for Long Haochen. Only he could hurt him, if there was a necromancer that dared to turn him into a spirit, then the God of Devils would let him experience the pain of death. He would let its pain remain a thousand years before death. He was so outstanding after all! Thinking about Long Haochen, the God of Devils had a kind of deep helplessness feeling. Even Austin and Griffin concluded a blood contract with him, and this was not a simple talent. Although the God of Devils did not know the process, he could still guess that Long Haochen must have had a special opportunity to seed. Without Austin and Griffin, will I be able to convince him to eventually surrender to the demons, or even be my heir? Maybe not. That little fellow is too stubborn. If I had known this earlier, I would have brought him into the devil n when I first saw him. If I did that, there might still be a chance to change his mind. Then, the God of Devils heart suddenly had a relieved sadness. It was because he suddenly remembered the time when Long Haochen died, he clearly felt his own blood inside Long Haochens gradually faded and disappeared. And until now, there was still no reaction. As the God of the devil n, against the dragon ns chief, the God of Devils had a strong sense of his own direct bloodline. Such as Po and Leng Xiao which were always in his perception. The God of Devils could even feel their power getting stronger or weaker. However, that bloodlines aura which belonged to Long Haochens body had already disappeared without a trace. He was dead after all! However, the news of his appearance still needed to be checked. Was it true that humans actually allowed the existence of the necromancer, and let the necromancer use the body of Long Haochen? No, that shouldnt be possible. The more he thought about it, the more confused the God of Devils became. But after all he was a strong man, with one foot in the door of gods level. He soon calmed down and faced his current situation. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Since he broke through millions of spiritual powers, he had been looking for the existence of the god. Only with the help of the god could hepletely eliminate the anti-biting effect of the god and be the true god, unrestricted by this dimension. At this point, nothing could stop him. It was also a great opportunity for him. Even in this world, the humans that reached millions of spiritual strengths also only had this way to condense themselves and be gods. After bing a god, the mind would slowly dissipate, spreading between the earth and the sky, one could feel everything and could dominate everything, but no longer have a body and could not affect the bnce of the world. But he was different. The demon came from another world, which made it possible for him to not obey the rules of this world. And they could not produce their own gods. The God of Devils heart suddenly felt burnt because today would be the day he seeded. After his sess, he would be the unprecedented god. When that happened, how could humans not surrender to him? After unifying this world, it might be the time to return to its original world. Is everything the same? He wondered. The green light became dimmer and dimmer. The pure and lovely Ye Xiaolei also gradually appeared in the illusory green light. She was a hundred meters away from the God of Devils. Cracks in space began to close and disappear. Huge aura of life in this vast forest quietly spread, but still could not rush out the seal of the God of Devils. What an aura of life! Unfortunately, it does not suit me, the God of Devils said with a smile as he moved step by step towards Ye Xiaolei. Ye Xiaolei quietly stood there and stared at the God of Devils with cold eyes. Her little white hands were clenched unconsciously. Her teeth nibbled at her lower lip, and she stood still as the tall, handsome figure, full of evil spirits, approached her. The Dream Shrine got destroyed. The Dream Paradise was also gone. From this moment, she hadpletely lost her home. Recalling the elf dragon that died, two lines of tears ran straight down Ye Xiaoleis face slowly. Its over. Everythings gone now. The God of Devils walked slowly towards her and stopped at about ten meters in front of her. He reached his hand out to Ye Xiaolei and said, Come on. Come with me. Dont worry, I wont hurt you. As long as you sincerely be my god, I can even choose not to erase your memory. Follow me and you will witness many wonders. And be a true god on the holynd. Ye Xiaoleis eyes stared at the God of Devils. She even saw sincerity in the eyes of the God of Devils. At the God of Devils level, he had put down all the darkness as for him, ordinary people were no longer important. His quest had reached a whole new level. Ive waited a long time and I dont want to wait any longer. I hope to get a conscious god, so that at least I will not be lonely in the future. Dont you think so? In fact, many times, joy and sadness are only temporary. Time will resolve everything, after you follow me and see a different world, you will inevitably forget all the past. Come with me, Im sure you wont regret it. The God of Devils voice was very gentle as he always had a faint smile on his face and his eyes also became so soft. It was like a father calling for his daughter. Ye Xiaoleis eyes gradually became confused. Eventually, she raised her left foot and slowly took a step, and then with a very slow speed, she walked towards the God of Devils. The God of Devils smiled even brighter. It was much easier to fuse with an obedient god than a rebellious one, and easier for him to stabilize his realm. Of course, what he said to Ye Xiaolei was also from his heart,pletely sincere. Due to this, Ye Xiaolei was confused. He never saw Ye Xiaolei as a threat and after she integrated with his power, she would even be less of a threat. Besides, whats the use of saving ones consciousness? Chapter 773 - We Meet Again, God Of Devils (I)

Chapter 773: We Meet Again, God Of Devils (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, seven meters Ye Xiaolei walked towards the God of Devils step by step. The God of Devils seemed to be afraid that hed frighten her, so he just stood still and stretched out his right hand. He was quietly waiting. Five meters, the distance between them was only five meters. If Ye Xiaole walked two more steps, the God of Devils hand could touch her. At this time, her eyes became more confused and it seemed that she could not see in front of her clearly as if she got immersed in another state. Another step, and the distance again shortened. The God of Devils eyes began to show excitement. In his entire life, he never asked for much, but bing a true god was his greatest goal. Not to mention that he could avoid the pain of Gods back bite. So, there was real emotion shown in his eyes. But, also at this moment, suddenly, the God of Devils was shocked. Suddenly, he stepped forwards and grabbed Ye Xiaole with his right hand subconsciously. Then Ye Xiaoles lost eyes suddenly became clear. Now, her clear eyes were filled with deep resentment. A brilliant white figure appeared in front of Ye Xiaolei without any warning. He even had an aura of life that particrly belonged to Ye Xiaolei. The God of Devils hand touched the white figure, and it was a fist. An indescribable bright light from this figures chest suddenly rushed out. The God of Devils only felt that what he was facing was a boundless sky, each star blooming with its strongest brilliance. The light was boundless, and the power seemed to light up all the darkness. Since all of this was too sudden, the God of Devils was too careless just now. So, he had no time to fight back. He had to unclench his fist and folded his arms in front of him. A burst of intense white light between that figure and the God of Devils formed a huge white ball of light. Purple lines flitted across the arms of the God of Devils. The pure darkness refused to yield, andpletely withstood the impact of the eternal light. The white light couldnt find a way to divulge, but only to rise up. As it went straight upward, it almost caused a damage on the seal of God of Devils cloth in an instant. A loud rumble echoed at the bottom of the seal and was spreading quickly. Since the God of Devils was so powerful, his attack immediately causedrge cracks on the seals that he made. The cracks spread so fast at the bottom of the seals. At this point, the God of Devils had also seen the white figure. It was a man covered in brilliant white armor, with a crown on his head and a mask that covered his face. Even the God of Devils was frightened by the strong aura that oppressed him. The most terrifying thing was the other sides domain. God of Devils power of darkness had reached the peak, not only pure, but it was boundless and supreme. But when faced with this white figure, his power of darkness, instead of taking the upper hand, seemed to be muffled. This was clearly a gap of domain level. The God of Devils eyes were full of shock. What appeared in front of him was clearly a human! When is there such a strong man among the human race? Even the power of Chen Zidian, the head of the Meteorite Demon Hunter group, is still iparable to him! At that moment, the light in the sky suddenly dimmed down. The day seemed to be turning into night. God of Devils, we meet again. Perhaps, when I see you again next time, its time for me to win. A familiar and cold voice echoed in God of Devils ears. He couldnt believe it, and he was so shocked that he forgot to make a move. Is that you? The God of Devils was full of shock at the sight of this strong human in silver-colored armor. His eyes revealed a bit of fear as he subconsciously stepped back. The person that suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xiaole and turned the situation upside down, was it not the master of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the first federal president of the Temple Federation, the leader of the Knight Temples Sealed Divine knights, Long Haochen? When he felt that Ye Xiaolei was in crisis, Long Haochen came here immediately after he solved the problem of the sovereign Kings attacking Hao Yue. To travel through space needed some time and Long Haochen was also in another world, so it was slightly dyed. Fortunately, with his practice level and the protection from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he wasnt harmed when he came through space from the other world to this world. Ye Xiaolei had already felt the bond between her and Long Haochen, but she could also feel that Long Haochen got so much stronger. Although what she felt was the strength of Long Haochens soul, she knew that the strength of the soul had a great deal to do with self-cultivation. Therefore, when Ye Xiaolei finally walked slowly towards the God of Devils, it was not because she was convinced or lost, but because she wanted to confuse the God of Devils. It was to gain enough time for Long Haochen to travel through space. Long Haochen finally arrived in time. At the moment of his appearance, Ye Xiaolei only felt as if his body was going to copse. He repelled the God of Devils. Even if the God of Devils was not prepared for the situation. In this world, how many people could do this? Its me, Long Haochen said, and at the same time, he raised his left hand. The Lunar Shield lying across his chest was shing with a nine-color light. During Long Haochens growth process, it was undoubtedly the God of Devils that frightened Long Haochen the most. Even if Hao Yue and all the Sovereign Kings were added up together, it still could not make Long Haochens heart feel danger. Therefore, he repelled the God of Devils without any hesitation and that triggered and inspired the power of the Lunar Shield. The God of Devils heart, at this time, had beenpletely confused. He never thought that the problem he had been thinking about just now was to be solved in this way. Long Haochen was still alive. He actually was still alive. From his aura and his magical armor, it was clear that he was not controlled by a necromancer. And with his current strength, even the God of Devils felt a strong threat. Howe you are not dead? the God of Devils asked him full of curiosity. To him, the death of Long Haochen seemed to be more important than Ye Xiaolei, who could make him a true god. Chapter 774 - We Meet Again, God Of Devils (II)

Chapter 774: We Meet Again, God Of Devils (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Haochen said with a dull expression, Why must I die? Youve already killed me once, but youll not get a second chance. I believed that we would meet again on a battlefield. And when that happens, I will certainly ask for your majestys advice. Then, the nine-color light from the Lunar Shield suddenly burst into a straight column of light and bombarded towards the God of Devils. Although the Lunar Shield only worked best when the sun and moon were alternating, due to this umtion, it wasparable to the most powerful attack of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation when itunched a supernatural attack. The God of Devils roared, Dont move! As he stretched his right hand forward, and a strange dragon pattern appeared on his fist. Then, it thundered upon the Lunar Shields nine-color light. It was a big-bang. The God of Devils seal was shattered in this terrifying explosion. This frightening power swept away the whole forest in almost an instant. But an Imperial Weapon was still an imperial weapon! God of Devils practice level was very strong, but in an instant of this outbreak, it was a downwind for him, his body was hit and flew a few kilometers away. And in the core of that outbreak, the body of Long Haochen and Ye Xiaolei hadpletely disappeared without a trace. During the explosion of nine-color light, God of Devils only vaguely saw Long Haochen and Ye Xiaoleis bodies enveloped in a group of green lights from Long Haochen. Then Ye Xiaoleis body disappeared. The whole body of Long Haochen shone a purple light, and also disappeared before the explosion, travelling in space. The defeat in not winning over the God was not the biggest blow to the God of Devils, but Long Haochens appearance was. When everything calmed down, the God of Devils suddenly realized that deep inside, he felt fear. Long Haochen is not dead, then Austin and Griffin is also not dead? Did Austin and Griffin resurrect him? No, thats not it. The power he just used had nothing to do with Austin and Griffin. But, he had only disappeared for a few years, how did he be so powerful? Could it be that the armor he is wearing is the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation that has never recognized anyone in the Knight Temple? And that shield, it is an Imperial Weapon! Long Haochen now has two Imperial Weapons. He has the qualifications to challenge me! The God of Devils took a deep breath to calm down his chaotic mind. He needed to think carefully. Then, he raised his head and looked over at the direction of Zhennanguan. He felt the presence of humans heading toward here. If he had Ye Xiaolei by his side, then perhaps he would have had the pleasure of killing them all. But he didnt want to waste any time. He waved his right hand and a purple light floated silently in front of him. The God of Devils left and traveled through space with a sh of purple light. Compared with the panic of the God of Devils, Ye Xiaolei at this time had apletely different emotion. Because she was shocked that the God of Devils came to the Dream Paradise with an aura that was not inferior to the Dream Paradise. Green grass, green trees. The forest looked endlessly green. As she ascended she could directly see the aura of life with her own eyes! Ye Xiaolei gently fell on the ground, she was surprised by all the nts around her that seemed to say hello. No matter where it was, she felt so close in the smell of nature. As a god living in the humans world as instructed by Goddess of Nature, she was part of the Goddess of Nature. Although the worlds were different, the aura of life was the same. Wee to the world of Easton, sweet little girl, a deep voice rang up. Then a green figure came out of a green light and looked at her with a smile. This green figure and Ye Xiaoleis heights were not much of a difference, but Ye Xiaolei could feel his strength and a thick aura of life from his body. World of Easton? Is this another world? Ye Xiaolei asked as she was surprised. Is this world all made of nature? Eastons King nodded and said, Yes, for you, it would be called another world. I love the way you smell. Very much like the aura of my Lord, though much weaker. But look, everything here loves you. I am the King of Easton, Eastons King. You can stay here. Eastons King is right. You can stay here. A figure appeared in a sh. Long Haochen that had already taken off his armor of eternity appeared out of thin air beside Ye Xiaolei. He looked at her with gentle eyes. Ye Xiaolei looked at Eastons King, then at Long Haochen and asked, Where is this ce? Long Haochen replied, This is the ne of eternity within the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, also known as the world of Easton. Theres only nature and life here. Im sure youll like it, right? Ye Xiaolei looked up at Long Haochen and whispered, Thank you for saving me. Long Haochen smiled and said, Dont say thank you. Im the one that needs to thank you. If it hadnt been for your help, I would have died at least twice. No matter the time of Caiers awakening or when I was killed by the God of Devils. It was you who helped me stay alive. Especially the second time, if it werent not for Ye Xiaolei, it wouldnt have been possible to ask Electrolux to revive him in the Tower of Eternity. At the beginning, after Long Haochen and Ye Xiaolei met in the Dream Paradise, he was sent out by Ye Xiaolei because of the necromancers aura in his body. But he was the son of light, so Ye Xiaolei finally decided to make a contract with Long Haochen. And that contract was called mutual assistance. The contract gave them a sense of connection, so that if one party was in danger, the other coulde and help. Ye Xiaolei helped Long Haochen twice by giving him treatment in order to cure his wound. That was because she was not good at fighting. And Long Haochen, in Ye Xiaoleis most critical moment, returned to help her and took her to a safe ce. Ye Xiaoleis eyes shone a touch of sadness as she looked around at the world of Easton. She said something that shocked Long Haochen, No matter how good this ce is, it is not my home. I dont belong in this ne. Long Haochen, I will be your furnace. Chapter 775 - Spirit Of God (I)

Chapter 775: Spirit Of God (I)

No matter how good this ce is, it is not my home. I dont belong in this ne. Long Haochen, I will be your furnace. What Ye Xiaolei said really shocked Long Haochen. When he faced the God of Devils, Long Haochen did not hesitate to use his Imperial Weapon, the Lunar Shield. But when he saved Ye Xiaolei, he noticed that there was something wrong with her emotions. With the improvement of his practice level, his perception became more powerful. Also, there was a contract between Ye Xiaolei and Long Haochen, so, he could clearly feel the sadness inside her heart. After a brief reflection, Long Haochen decided to send Ye Xiaolei to World of Easton. He understood that Ye Xiaolei was very sad because her home was destroyed. And Easton was clearly the best ce for her to live. Xiaolei, you Ye Xiaolei wiped off her tears and looked at Long Haochen persistently. Im serious. I dont want to stay here. Eastons King said, Whats wrong with staying here? It coincides with your aura, and Easton wees your presence. Ye Xiaoleis aura of nature was even purer than that of Eastons King. Although it was not strong, its pure vitality was like the Tree of Eternity which made Eastons King felt affectionate towards her. Ye Xiaolei shook her head. Thank you, Sir. But I cant ept it. Because I cant live here. I belong to the holynd, and in a sense, I am a part of it. Without it, my life will gradually wither away. Within a month, I will disappear into the air and dust. Long Haochen was still shocked and said, Why is this? You Ye Xiaolei smiled sadly and said, You never knew what kind of existence I am, right? Now I can tell you. I am somewhat simr to your Element Elf, I am not a real being, but the spirit of God. This is just a body of energy. The spirit of God? After hearing what she said, Long Haochen was puzzled, but Eastons Kings face changed and did not try to persuade her again. The spirit of God can be regarded as a separate part of God. I am a separate body left by the Goddess of Nature on the holynd of devils. I need to absorb the spiritual energy from Heaven, Earth, sun and moon in order to continue. Whether it is the Dream Shrine or the Dream Paradise, it was built for me by the Goddess of Nature before she became a god. Any being, whether human or any other creature, will enter the level of God when it breaks through to millions of spiritual powers. In other words, one begins to bear the test of God. This is irreversible. If you pass the test, you will be a true god. If you fail the test, you will disappear in the air forever, reincarnated and reborn. After bing a god, the noumenon will also dissipate, and the consciousness will be erged infinitely, magnifying to the whole world, being able to perceive what is happening in any corner of the world, and at the same time integrate itself into the ne, making the ne more stable and prosperous. For example, my original noumenon, the Goddess of Nature, made it easier for all nts to reproduce for a long time. On the other hand, all the strong people who are close to nature will increase the speed of their practice level. However, as a god, I can no longer control anything and gradually talk to heaven and earth. There is only a wisp of divine thoughts wandering in the world. Therefore, many strong people would rather never be gods and fall into reincarnation than to live an illusory life. However, most of the time, some things are irreversible, and they cannot make decisions on their own. I can remind you now that in any case, do not easily break through the bottleneck of level nine of rank nine. Once you break through this bottleneck and let your total psychic power exceed nine hundred thousand, then your spiritual power will continue to grow, and one day, there will be a bottleneck of millions of psychic powers, and there is bound to be a breakthrough in self-growth. Long Haochen quietly listened. If he was still his weak self, then these Ye Xiaoleis words would have no effect on him. However, it was different now. His practice level had broken through to level nine of rank five, and it did not seem to be so far away from rank nine. Ye Xiaolei continued, At the beginning, the Goddess of Nature knew that the time wasing, so she was bound to go to the road of bing a god and it was irreversible. As a result, she used her power to create the Dream Shrine and the Dream Paradise. And molded with her purest spiritual power, she divided a wisp of soul into this pure force of nature, leaving a seed in the Dream Paradise. And in this seed, she was pregnant with the throne of God. You must be curious about why she did it, right? In fact, her purpose is very simple. After she bes a god, there will be a wisp of thought that will travel around the world. Although there is nothing she can do, it is still a divine mind. After all, she has the omnipresent perception of God. Therefore, when the seeds that she left at the Dream Paradise germinate and grow, they gradually release the spirit she left behind, and her mind will feel it. There is the possibility of aeback. At that time, she can be the Goddess of Nature again. Its possible to live her life all over again. With her experience in previous lives, after rebirth, she will never make the same mistake and will never embark on the road to bing a god again. And I am the seed. Ye Xiaolei spoke very calmly, but Long Haochen did not know why there was a kind of heartache feeling in it. Looking at her, which was only a seven-or eight-year-old girl, she had a pair of eyes with vicissitudes of life. He unconsciously felt heartache. In fact, the Goddess of Nature failed. Or maybe its because she gave me a wisp of soul. In the end, although she passed Gods assessment, she failed to keep her sober mind. So, she never came back after she left. And as a seed, taking root and sprouting, I gradually have my own consciousness. Living in the Dream Paradise, I am not alone. I have many, manypanions. So, I do not resent the Goddess of Nature for leaving me there as her seed. After all, I am a part of her. I have always lived a quiet life. My life gradually became rich and colorful until you humans began to appear at the Dream Paradise and began to acquire the furnace made by the power of heaven and earth for thousands of years. Only then did I know that my appearance is the same as that of you humans. However, I am just a seed, no matter how long time has passed, I cant grow up. As time passed by, I gradually had my own ideas, and I felt like the Dream Paradise was trapping me like a cage. However, I cant leave, because I cannot do anything without the power of the Dream Paradise. Without those power, I will be like a flower without nutrients, and it will not take long for me to wither. So, I began to look for a suitable carrier among the humans who entered the Dream Paradise. After so many years, I found only one and it was you. But it was at that time that I felt the crisis. Because the God of Devils can break through the ne without following the rules of Dream Paradise. So, I signed a contract with you. At this point, the sadness in the eyes of Ye Xiaolei became more intense. I really dont know, I love my family so much. If you can give me a chance to choose again, I would rather stay there forever and never leave. My home is now ruined, and the Dream Paradise is gone. All my friends died in the broken space. That tree, a de of grass, each of mypanions are gone forever. Ive never hated someone so much, but now I really hate him. Long Haochen, with divine light reflected in his eyes, said, The hatred between mankind and the devil n wille to an end. I cant promise you with certainty that I can avenge for you. But at least I can tell you that in the battle between mankind and the devil n, I will do my best. Unless I die, the battle with the devil will not be over. Ye Xiaolei gently nodded, I understand, and I also believe in you. In just a few years, you have be so powerful. Even the Goddess of Nature at that time was not as fast as you. Moreover, the aura of undead in you haspletely disappeared. It seems that you havepletely got rid of the control of the Tower of Eternity. I said I wanted to be your furnace not on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration. I am now just a little flower that has lost its earth. I need a new home. Not here since I will still wither if I stay here. Only by clinging on to the power of soul that I can survive. And my power of soul is too little. Only the ultimate purity is possible. So, if I cant be your furnace, then I have no choice but to perish. Long Haochen hesitated and said, But if you be my furnace, wont you disappear forever? Ye Xiaolei dried her tears and suddenly burst out a smile. Its not that easy to disappear forever. Im not stupid. Why should I kill myself? Havent you ever heard of the wisdom furnace? Even your light element elf can maintain a certain level of consciousness. As a spirit of God, why cant I? Even if I be your furnace, I will keep all my memories and also add more natural forces to you at the same time. You can rest assured that as a part of the Goddess of Nature, I can choose the direction of growth for you after merging with you. I will no longer strengthen your inner psychic power. Because that will continue to push you on the road of bing a god and make you repeat the same mistake. But, I can choose to enhance your psychic power. Chapter 776 - Spirit Of God (II)

Chapter 776: Spirit Of God (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Haochen was about to say something but Eastons King suddenly said, Little girl, I think youd better strengthen the masters spiritual power, because what you worry about wont happen to the master at all. Hmm? Ye Xiaolei looked doubtfully at Eastons King. Eastons King proudly said, The master inherited the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, which is our temporary Lord of Eternity. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation is an Imperial weapon that the creator uses to bnce the ne. All existence that has been the Lord of Eternity will be branded by the God of Creation. No matter what the standard rules are, they do not need to be followed but will acquire a special divine personality through the imprint of the God of Creation at the moment of bing a god. To supervise the existence of the world as the God of Creation. His life will be very long, but not endless. Ye Xiaolei looked nkly at Eastons King. So he can be like the God of Devils, free from the rules of the ne? Eastons King said, Of course, the master is the existence chosen by the Creator, and it is not as simple as you think. Being able to cling to your master will be your wisest choice. Ye Xiaolei nodded and looked at Long Haochens slightlyplicated eyes. In that case, lets start. She suddenly felt that she did not seem to be so important to Long Haochen as a wisdom furnace. Wait a minute, Xiaolei. Long Haochen raised his hand to stop Ye Xiaolei. You dont want me? Ye Xiaolei at this time was in a bad mood, so she immediately misinterpreted the meaning of Long Haochens words. Long Haochen smiled, shook his head and said, Of course, its not like that. Just before you be my wisdom furnace, I want to tell you one thing. Not long ago, I found a suitable body for Ya Ting. She is no longer my light element elf, but the Queen of Light Elves. I believe that in the near future, I will be able to find a suitable body for you too. At that time, choose to be a human being. Being a real human may make you feel happier. Ye Xiaolei was dumbfounded. She looked at Long Haochen and remained silent for a long time. Long Haochen gently patted her head, squatted down, looked at her and said face to face, We are friends, not just contractual transactions. I hope you can be happy in the future. Although I dont know how to make you happy, I will try my best to treat you like a human. Okay. Ye Xiaolei gently snorted while suddenly opened her arms and put them around Long Haochens neck and cried loudly. He gently stroked her long hair to soothe her grieving heart with his pure light elements. It was at this time that he was suddenly surprised to find that his hand touched nothing. Ye Xiaoleis body suddenly turned into a green light. The little bit of green light floated up, as the palm of his hand hovered up. He was soon shrouded in it. Arge number of green light spots gradually converged into a vortex, gently circled around Long Haochen, it was full of vitality and soft aura. In this Eastons world, the nts hundreds of miles around were emitting a glittering and translucent green. Eastons Kings eyes were full of ecstasy. What a pure force of nature, sofortable. The soft green brilliance began to blend into Long Haochens body from his chest, and the position of integration happened to be his heart of eternity. What Ye Xiaolei could feel first belonged to Hao Yue. It was a close connection between Long Haochen and Hao Yue. And then the heart. The fusion of Ye Xiaolei waspletely different from the blood bond of Hao Yue. The power of Hao Yue immersed in the elixir of Long Haochens existence alone. On the other hand, the natural power of Ye Xiaolei directly integrated with Long Haochens heart of eternity, and there was no separate power left. The moment she began to integrate, Long Haochen felt it. He knew that the integration of Ye Xiaolei with him would undoubtedly increase his growth even more. However, his proposal just now waspletely rejected by her. If she were to merge with him this way, Ye Xiaolei would never be separated from his body, unless she were to die. Ya Ting didnt attach to his body, so she could be a human being. The voice of Ye Xiaolei rang up inside Long Haochens head. Long Haochen, I dont want to call you master, Ill just call you brother. I do not want to be a human. You human beings, there are also many intrigues. Bing a human being may bring me more troubles. Thats not what I want. At this moment, I already knew what happiness was to me. My happiness is to follow you, to be able to feel your care and love for me, as well as protection. Thats enough for me. The God of Devils said to me before that if I could be his god, then he would take me to see many wonderful worlds. Im sure you can do the same. I wont regret following you. From now on, I will be your wisdom furnace and your sister. You have to take good care of me. Hehe. The green brilliance began to bloom from Long Haochens chest and slowly flowed throughout his whole body. Long Haochen had just broken through level nine of rank five but his spiritual power was increasing again. The increasing speed was not fast, but it was very stable, and Long Haochens body also felt a burst of heat constantly. His body was being nurtured by the rich aura of life. Ye Xiaolei did not listen to Eastons Kings proposal but increased both his internal and external spiritual powers at the same time bybining herself with Long Haochen. From now on, she was a part of Long Haochens body. Therefore, she wished that Long Haochens body had a stronger physique. With the integration of her vitality, it was not only a substantial increase in the external spiritual power of Long Haochens body, but also increased in the longevity of Long Haochen, which Long Haochen himself even was not aware. The strength of Ye Xiaolei was not strong, but what she had was the soul and part of the power of a god. The pure vitality could at least prolong the lifespan of Long Haochen for a thousand years. The aura of life flowed and spread inside Long Haochens body. Hepletely opened his whole body and felt the happiness brought by the integration of life. At this moment, he suddenly had a glimpse of understanding deep inside his heart, an understanding of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The three mighty men in the domain of eternity told him that the name Sealed Throne of Eternity and Creation had been around for a long time, and it was created by the God of Creation himself. What is eternity? What is creation? What is created? When he inherited the Sealed Throne of Eternity and Creation, the answer seemed to have long been given. What is created? The earth, nature, life, the sun, the moon and the stars. And what is all this creation for? Its for the continuation of life. Creating life is the eternal theme. All other creations are the groundwork for the creation of life. Everyone might have different views on Eternity and Creation, and at this moment, Long Haochen had his own understanding. The beat of his heart of eternity began to slow down, and the gentle vitality ran and flowed into him. If one could see the situation inside Long Haochens body at this time, one would be so shocked beyond measure. Inside Long Haochens chest, his heart was growing. The heart of eternity was not a real heart, but a spiritual heart shaped by the spirit of the dead, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux, whobined his former physique of the son of light and the power of light cultivated throughout his life. Then through his own practice of the undead magic and the understanding of the human body, he formed a spiritual heart. This heart of eternity had all the powers of the human heart, and even every meridian and blood vessel in it were exactly the same. And its energy couldst at least for more than a thousand years. As long as Long Haochens practice remained, the beating of this heart of eternity would not stop, and it would make Long Haochen more powerful. After all, Electrolux was not the God of Creation, and it was impossible for him to create the same heart as Long Haochen out of thin air. And at this moment, this scene of creation was magical. The blood in Long Haochens chest was shaping along with the blood simted by the spirit of the heart of eternity under the action of that strong vitality. A heart was actually growing in size. However, Long Haochen knew nothing about it. He did not know that what he was going through was a process of transformation. In fact, what Electrolux didnt tell him after he brought him back to life was that Long Haochen could also be regarded as a mutated undead creature. Could a human without a heart be called a human? It was just that Long Haochen didnt know about this, and Electrolux didnt exin it. Coupled with his pure light element, no one doubted. It had to be said that Electrolux created this heart of eternity with an amazing skill, which could be said to be the absolute pinnacle of the necromancers history. However, it belonged to the undead after all, and even when Electrolux was self-purifying, he was more or less proud. The only son of light who grew up finally had the crystallization of his lifes hard work in his body. However, it was different now. The integration of Ye Xiaolei greatly promoted Long Haochens own aura of life, and in this way, the problem that he did not have a real heart was exposed. The life force of Ye Xiaolei inside his body naturally regarded it as an injury and immediately began to repair itself. This repair was impossible to seed, because in the repair process, if there was no heart of eternity then Long Haochen would have been already dead. Even if the repair process went perfectly fine, but if his heart could not beat then what was the point? Chapter 777 - Spirit Of God (III)

Chapter 777: Spirit Of God (III)

Now, the situation was very special. The heart of eternity was still beating but a new heart was also gradually being born from Long Haochens understanding of life and creation. A faint light twinkled as a soft smile appeared on Long Haochens face. He felt that his body became very warm, and the beating of his heart of eternity seemed to be more and more powerful. But he had no idea that the heart of eternity was gradually merging with the new heart. Every blood vessel was absorbing the power of the heart of eternity. The creation of life was magical, but Ye Xiaolei could feel the crisis. She, who was merging with Long Haochen right now, was unable tomunicate with Long Haochen. She could only make an effort to maintain this creation. Eastons King quietly guarded beside him as he was now the guardian of Long Haochen. At the same time, he could also feel the magical aura emitted by Long Haochen. His strong vitality gave him a stronger sense of intimacy. The green light gradually became weaker and all concentrated at the position of Long Haochens chest. His entire body had a feeling of a rebirth. Everything about him seemed to have be more transparent and alive. The green light on his chest fluctuated slightly. It was his heartbeat. A new heart quietly formed inside his chest and itbined perfectly with the heart of eternity. This must had been the most powerful heart in the history of mankind. Ye Xiaolei fell into a deep sleep inside Long Haochens chest. As a wisdom furnace, almost all of her fusion strength was given to this heart. Gradually awakened from the enlightenment, Long Haochen subconsciously raised his right hand and pressed it on his chest. His chest was warm and unspeakablyfortable. The beat of the heart of eternity seemed weaker than before, but it did not affect anything. At the same time, he could feel the presence of Ye Xiaolei inside his chest, but he still didnt know why he fell into a deep sleep. Perhaps, this was the sequel of the fusion with the wisdom furnace. Long Haochen clearly felt that his integration with Ye Xiaolei waspleted. However, he had previously felt that the internal and external spiritual powers were in the process of ascension. However, this time to his surprise, there seemed to have no signs of improvement. Everything was exactly the same as before. However, he was soon relieved. During this period of time, his practice level could be said to be skyrocketing like a blowout. It was not good to grow too much at once. Fortunately, with this realization just now, he had improved in the domain, at least he would not be left behind too much by his own rapid development. After he greeted Eastons King, Long Haochen returned. As the Lord of Eternity, he could go in and out of the domain of eternity at will. The ck and red world appeared in front of him again. Perhaps because of Caiers purification power was too strong, the air here was much cleaner now, but who knew how long it wouldst. Everyone, including Hao Yue, was waiting on the hill where Hao Yue evolved. The return of Long Haochen immediately excited everyone. Long Haochen immediately fell down in front of his friends. The first one that he looked at was Hao Yue. The aura of the Hao Yue hadpletely calmed down at this time, and the previous terrifying aura of destruction was introverted, at least intangible from the outside. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group members to stay beside it. The eight big heads slowly leaned over and ovepped in front of Long Haochen, which looked a bit funny. However, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group members, who had seen how frightening Hao Yue was before, could notugh. They still remember clearly that the powerful Knight of Judgment and the Witch King had little resistance in front of it and werepletely suppressed in an instant. If it hadnt been for Long Haochen, the two kings would have perished under the attack of Hao Yue. Long Haochen raised his hand and touched the two new-born big heads, he looked at the dark golden one and said, Your ability should be metal. Then Ill call you Xiao Jin. And as for you His eyes turned to the big blue-purple head with a spherical lightning and said, Ill call you Xiao Lei. Roar! Roar! After they got their names from Long Haochen, Xiao Jin and Xiao Lei looked very excited and rubbed on Long Haochen. There was an indescribable close connection between them. When he felt Haoyues deep feelings for him, a trace of worry that appeared in Long Haochens heart before disappeared. Then Caier asked, Haochen. What happened to Xiaolei? Long Haochen frowned and said, Im afraid we have to face the God of Devils ahead of time. And he started to tell the story of what he saw when he went to Dream Paradise. Long Haochen did not know Ye Xiaoleis life and death crisis came from the God of Devils before he went there. But at present, human beings were far from fully prepared. And the God of Devils already saw him with his own eyes, and from the God of Devils determination to kill him before, Long Haochen was sure that he would try to do something again. Si Maxian said with hatred, When the water rises we use earth to keep it back when the soldiers arrive we use a general to keep them off. Come on. If the devil dares to start the holy war again, nobody is sure who will win. Now the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was no longer the No. 64 demon hunter group that wasmanded during the holy war five years ago. Now they had the strength to be the main force in the face-to-face confrontation with the Magic n. There was a strong feeling in everyones heart. Long Haochen nodded slightly and said, Its the only way. When we go back, we have to make early preparations. Right after he finished his sentence, the first one to respond was Hao Yue. He saw ayer of purple fog rose all over his body. Before Long Haochen got surprised, his body shrank at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Hao Yue? Long Haochen called out to him in surprise. Just then, a p-sized figure suddenly jumped in front of him while pping a pair of small wings. Long Haochen suddenly had a feeling that he could notugh or cry, and it was Hao Yue. It was just a mini version of Hao Yue. He held out his right hand to let Hao Yue fall on the palm of his hand, who constantly shook his eight heads with excitement. He was obviously proud of his ability to shrink, just like a child who just received his favorite toys. Long Haochen touched him gently and said with a smile, This is good. At least it will be much more convenient for you to follow me. Afterpleting this evolution, you shouldnt have toe back here often. The silver light from the domain of blink, once again, appeared at the feet of all the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, and the purple and golden light broke through the void and disappeared. After an hour, several figures slowly appeared in the distance, they looked around and the fire of their beating souls were filled with manyplex emotions. Long Xingyu was immediately overjoyed by the return of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. He wasnt so worried this time. Long Haochen, who had been recognized the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation would not be harmed so easily. Just as he was about to put the marriage of Long Haochen and Caier and several other couples of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group on the agenda, Long Haochen told him about the God of Devils. And then the weddings had to be postponed again. Long Haochen immediately wrote a letter, asking the Knight Temple to hand over to the federal headquarters, and quickly summoned the senior management of the Knight Temple to discuss countermeasures. Although it was impossible for the demons to start the holy war again at half past one in the morning, they must prepare in advance. Long Haochen had even guessed the target that the God of Devils would point to if heunched a holy war. Demon n, Modu, Devils Pce. Main hall. The God of Devils sat up high, with his back against the tall seat, the top was a huge dragon head, and the two red gems in his eyes were shining faintly. Po, who was also dressed in a luxurious ck robe, stood quietly beside the God of Devils. His eyes were cold and hollow, as if he had no thoughts at all. Even the sound of needles could be heard in the main hall, as if there were not even a grain of dust. But in fact, there were five demons standing below. Stood in front of the demon n with long purple hair, handsome face, purple eyes, and a special temperament, which gave off a strange sense of beauty, was the Moon Devil God, Agarez. Besides Agarez, the other one who stood side by side with him was Vashak, the Star Devil God. Vashak, who had always been very calm and wise, but for some reasons he was a little uneasy today, as if he had a premonition of something. There were also three other devil gods among the big five pirs of the devil n behind them, Samigina, the Undead Devil God, Marbus, the Hell Devil God, and Warlifer, the Bear Devil God which ranked sixth among the total of seventy-two pir devil gods of the devil n. The five devils were invited by the God of Devils, but they had no idea why. As soon as they entered the Devils Pce, they felt a kind of unprecedented oppression. A terrifying pressure unexpectedly made strong people like them had difficulty breathing and felt like there was a giant hammer pounded on their chests. Sitting on the throne of God, the God of Devils looked very calm, but half an hour had passed since they entered the main hall, and the God of Devils still remained calm and silent. Only the sense of pressure in the air was getting stronger and stronger. These five devil gods have followed the God of Devils for at least three hundred years. They all knew that the calmer and more silent the God of Devils became, the worse his mood swing was. The five devils did not dare to even look at each other. They just stood there upright and slightly bowed their heads as they quietly waited. The God of Devils looked easygoing on weekdays, but if he really was angry, the horror was unbearable to anyone in the demon n. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, remembered clearly. About 360 years ago, the fury of the God of Devils changed the pattern of their demon n, and the previous God of Devils was killed directly by the current God of Devils which gave him the chance to inherit the throne of the Devil God. Chapter 778 - Life Prophecy (I)

Chapter 778: Life Prophecy (I)

The God of Devils finally broke the silence as he slowly raised his right hand and touched the handrail of the throne. It was just such a simple move, but it immediately attracted all the people to watch. The five devils subconsciously looked at the God of Devils, but what they saw was a pair of eyes that were iparably profound, like a sea of underworld. The five devils shuddered cleverly at the same time, and their fear and tremor grew stronger. It was apletely different feeling for Po that stood beside the God of Devils. Over the past few years, his practice level developed by leaps and bounds, with a leap-forward growth almost every year. Even he felt as if he was getting closer and closer to his father. However, just now during the God of Devils silence for half an hour, Po knew he was wrong. It was because he suddenly felt the gap between him and his father was still like heaven and earth, like a firefly and the moonlight. The God of Devils slowly stood up from the throne, though it seemed that he was no different from ordinary people. He stood up slowly with both hands on the handrail of the throne. However, as he stood up, the following five devils fell to their knees almost at the same time and respectfully said, Your Majesty. At this time, the God of Devils in this state was not a brother to them, but was the ruthless and invincible God of Devils. Vashak, stand up. The calm voice of the God of Devils sounded, his hands behind his back, and his eyes gradually brightened toward the Star Devil God, Vashak. Vashak subconsciously trembled for a moment, then got up slowly, but still bowed his head and respectfully said, Your Majesty. The God of Devils smiled, which looked peaceful, even with a touch of tenderness. He stepped down slowly from the high tform where the throne of God was located. And when he stopped, the body of Vashak, the Star Devil God, trembled slightly. The pressure was extremely suppressing his mind. It was not until he was in front of the Star Devil God, Vashak, that the God of Devils stopped, and the body of the demon prophet in front of him was unconsciously trembling. Do you have a premonition of something? the God of Devils asked with a smile. Vashak was silent as he dared not speak, for he felt an aura of death at the moment he entered the main hall of the Devils Pce, and it acted on him. How could he not be afraid? The God of Devils said faintly, I just dont know if your prediction is urate. Do you want to get out of here alive or die here today? Your Majesty. The Moon Devil God, Agarez, who was still kneeling on one side, was stunned and subconsciously raised his head and shouted. He and the Star Devil God, Vashak, had the deepest feelings and he never thought that today the God of Devils was so angry at Vashak. However, he had no idea what the Star Devil God had done, and unexpectedly, he let the fury for the God of Devils for hundreds of years broke out today. Shut up. The God of Devils gave a cold shout as he raised his right foot and kicked the shoulder of the Moon Devil God, Agarez. All of a sudden, Agarezs body flew out like an unloaded shell and crashed into the wall of the main hall of the Devils Pce which gave a loud roar. Large tracts of rubble fell along with the body of the Moon Devil God. The God of Devils foot scared the Undead Devil God, the Hell Devil God and the Bear Devil God. They all crawled on the ground and didnt even have the courage to look up. They all knew that the ones that God of Devils trusted the most and had the best rtionship with were the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God. And it wasmensurate with the fact that the two demons who ranked second or third had always been brothers. Now they did not know what had happened, the God of Devils was furious at the Star Devil God and fell out with the Moon Devil God in an instant. The Moon Devil n and the Star Devil n had an important role in the devil n, second only to the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n of the God of Devils. However, even the Moon Devil God, who was kicked off, had no intention of resisting at this time. After falling to the ground, he knelt down again, but never dared to say a word again. Raise your head and look at me, the God of Devils said faintly. The Star Devil God, Vashak, slowly looked up; his eyes were only bitter, and he could clearly feel the crazy killing intention in the body of the God of Devils in front of him. He was a great prophet and a prophet of devils. However, even hisnguage ability did not work on the God of Devils at all. Because, among the devils, no one knew better than him that the God of Devils had transcended all existence in this ne and reached another level. At the beginning, when the God of Devils breakthrough waspleted, he stayed by his side and witnessed the scene of the Devil Emperors breakthrough against heaven with his own eyes. It was even more clear that the God of Devils VII was the strongest person in the history of the Devil n. Any Devil tribe who wanted to resist him would only be a joke. The God of Devils looked at Vashak in front of him and said slowly, Vashak, I trusted you so much that I have always regarded you as my right-hand man. For the sake of our family, you have been doing your best. But did you know that, as a prophet of our race, one mistake will ruin the future of our nation? His voice was not loud, but every word he said, there would be ayer of orange light shing across the Star Devil God, and when thest question was over, there was already orange blood oozed from Vashaks mouth and nose. Although the God of Devils did not attack him directly, the means used against him were much more terrifying than against the Moon Devil God, which was a direct soul injury. Vashak smiled bitterly and said, If Im right, its because of the news about a month ago. Did your Majesty confirm the authenticity of the news? The God of Devils nodded. His eyes were no longer calm, and the cold chill gushed out crazily. Yes, hes still alive. Tell me, why? No, thats impossible. Vashak lost his voice. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten the horror of the God of Devils. Impossible? Is there anything wrong with what I saw with my own eyes? He did not only appear, but also prevented me from grabbing the Goddess of Nature. He talked to me. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. What else do you have to say? The Star Devil God, Vashak, took a deep breath, and the fear in his eyes suddenly disappeared and was reced by a special color. Your Majesty, I am not wrong. My prophecy cant be wrong. He must have died that day, and I have felt the existence of his aura of life many times, and I tested many times, and the results were the same many times. My prediction against a person cannot be wrong. The God of Devils narrowed his eyes slightly. Then are you saying that what I heard, and saw was wrong? After a moment of silence, Vashak seemed to have decided something, his eyes shone like two bright stars, and said, I offended your Majesty and I already know my end. So, in that case, I would like to do onest thing for the Devil n. I would like to restore the prophecy at the sacrifice of life. Whether he is dead or alive, with the smell he left when he was killed by your Majesty, at the cost of my life, I should be able to see why he still exists. No! No! Agarez, the Moon Devil God, came to the God of Devils. He knelt down and begged, Your Majesty, ever since he became the Star Devil God, Vashak has paid a lot for our n. Even if he gets no credit, he should be rewarded by his hard work. I would like to lead my family to raid the Knight Temple and bring that Long Haochen to you at your disposal. Hearing the three words Long Haochen, Po that stood beside the throne of God, suddenly froze, the hollow eyes suddenly glowed purple, and a fierce killing intention broke out in an instant. You? the God of Devils snorted coldly. Its hard to say whether you are still his opponent or not. Well, Vashak, Ill give you a chance. You can start now. As he spoke, he raised his left foot and kicked Agarez, the Moon Devil God, away again. At the same time, a bright purple glow turned into a bubble and sealed Agarez. So that he couldnt even make a sound. Vashak looked at the God of Devils who had calmed down and shed a touch of despair in his eyes. He knew that there was no other possibility. And except for the Moon Devil God, the other three Devil Gods just crawled there without saying a word. With a sad smile on his face, Vashak slowly knelt down in front of the God of Devils. Also, can I ask your Majesty to spare my n after I die? Fengxiu looked at him coldly and said, Lets start. Vashak did not get the answer he wanted, but his eyes zed over. He stood up again and walked towards the entrance to the main hall. He paused slightly as he passed the three demons who were crawling on the ground. Then he went on and took more than ten steps forward and then stopped. The orange light increased gradually as he walked, and when he stopped, it became extremely bright. With a wave of the God of Devils big sleeve, a powerful spiritual fluctuation swept away the spirits of Undead, Hell and Bear Devil Gods. The three devils fell to one side and was silent as a cicada. Agarez, the Moon Devil God, was in a great hurry, but he dared not to directly break away from the seal of God of Devils, otherwise he would certainly be angry. If the God of Devils could kill the Star Devil God Vashak, then he might not be able to do anything Vashak slowly opened his arms to the sides of his body, palms upward, each with an orange crystal ball. The low sound of the spell began to ring up, and the strong orange light emitted by his body began to surge upward. The God of Devils looked at him so coldly; his eyes were as cold as ice, without the slightest meaning of pity. The mantra sung by Vashak gradually became louder, and the strong orange light turned into me. It was a strange me in which Vashaks clothes were gradually transpiring and burning, and his whole body began to be transparent and bright. Chapter 779 - Life Prophecy (II)

Chapter 779: Life Prophecy (II)

The Moon Devil God, Agarez, closed his eyes. This was the prophecy of Vashak at the cost of burning his own vitality. It was also the strongest prophecy of the Star Devil God. It was a level higher than the great prophecy he usedst time. Once he used it, the Prophecy of Life was irreversible and would surely consume all the vitality of the user. But the effect of the prophecy was also the best and closest to the truth. Vashak turned slowly, and his eyes hadpletely turned blood color. The loud chanting stopped and then he turned around. Facing the direction of the God of Devils, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. All of a sudden, the fiercely burning orange me suddenly soared and turned into an orange pir of light that rose five meters. A strange smell appeared in the main hall of the Devils Pce, and the strong devils felt that their consciousness was slightly in a trance, even the God of Devils was no exception. The Star Devil God was burning the fire of life, and its power of the soul had been raised to an extremely terrifying level. The Prophecy of Life had been seen for the first time for some people and it was only the second time in the history of the devil n as it could only be used by the Star Devil God. After all, this was a prophecy at the cost of the life of the Star Devil God! The orange pir of light gradually turned into a screen of light and appeared in the air of the Devils Pces main hall. The illusory light and shadow first changed in the shape of a vortex, and then gradually became clear. The picture showed the scene when the God of Devils killed Long Haochen. Long Haochens heart was pierced and slowly fell to the ground. Then the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group left the Star Devil Tower with his body and disappeared quickly. The picture followed Long Haochen all the way to the wild, and Ye Xiaolei appeared. Caier said something, followed by a scene in which Caier took off the Eternal Melody from long Haochens neck and brought it to herself. Seeing Ye Xiaolei, the God of Devils raised his eyebrows slightly, but when he saw that Ye Xiaolei did not help treat Long Haochen, his eyes showed doubt again. Even if she was the Goddess of Nature, she couldnt bring someone back to life. Just then, the picture changed again, and the transmission began. Caier, with all the people, instantly disappeared into a ray of light. The orange curtain of light showed a whirlpool again, while the body of the Star Devil God trembled violently, as if it was suffering some severe pain. The orange vortexsted for a minute before it reappeared, but this time the picture became much more blurred than before. A seven-story pagoda appeared in the picture. Seeing the pagoda, the strong devil n felt an inexplicable pressure from the soul. Even the God of Devils was no exception. The picture zoomed in and went straight into the tower, and then there was a scene of Caier carrying the body of Long Haochen and led all the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group to climb upwards. Although the picture was blurry, at least the main members in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group could be vaguely identified. In particr, Caier carried Long Haochens body could be distinguished by her Sickle of Death. Seeing that, the face of the God of Devils became darkening. Long Haochen died, but Caier carried his body to such a special ce, obviously in order to revive him, otherwise why? Vashak kept telling himself that Long Haochen had not been resurrected, he should have been dead for telling such a stupid lie. The picture was constantly changing, and the scene of the battle gradually appeared, but it also became more and more blurred. When the scene of Caier climbing up the road to heaven appeared, only a gold color could be seen vaguely in the whole picture. The golden light gate appeared, and Caier jumped in, and the next moment, the whole picture became chaotic. The image had bepletely illusory. Vashak let out a roar and spurted a mouthful of orange blood again, and this time his whole body trembled violently. His vitality was plummeting. With the support of his blood, the image gradually stabilized and became clear again. A huge coffin was presented in the sight of the devils. The God of the Deaths, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux appeared. The aura that had suppressed the souls of all devils immediately rose to its zenith. The Necromancer of Light? the God of Devils blurted out. The picture jumped quickly, and a scene of a golden heart condensed inside Electroluxs hands appeared. Although that scene appeared only a moment, it was still clearly captured by the God of Devils. The next moment, he saw a golden light surged and jumped on Long Haochens chest. When the picture changed again, it was the moment when Electrolux purified himself with the Sickle of Death. Vashaks prophecy came this far, but he couldnt hold on any longer. He forcibly enhanced the Prophecy of Life, resulting in a significant reduction in the time of the prophecy. The orange screen faded, and the picture disappeared. Vashaks body was constantly swaying under the cover of the light. Heis nothuman Heis the undead His bodyis the undead Hes still dead. Hedied. AustinGriffin cant possibly still alive Long Haochens body is just the undead. Its just the undead. The voice of the Star Devil God, Vashak, was sobbing, and all the devil gods all looked away. At this time, Vashak looked like a ghost, and his whole body was scorched ck. He told the God of Devils with his life that his prophecy was not wrong. Long Haochen was indeed dead and never came back to life. He lived as an undead. All he had was the heart of a powerful necromancer. All the devils gods looked at God of Devils with skeptical eyes, especially Agarez, the Moon Devil God, who had clenched his fists because of his anger. Just then, the God of Devils raised his right hand, and a mass of turquoise light fluttered out and fell on Vashaks body. The soft green glow surrounded Vashaks body, and the strong aura of life was crazily injected into his body. The sweet sound of crisp collision sounded constantly, like mountains and rivers, the most pleasant music in the world. Vashaks clearly exhausted aura of life began to recover at an astonishing speed, and his shaking body became stable. What kind of power is this? The devils all looked at Vashak dumbfounded. No matter how powerful the devil was, what they had was the power of darkness. And this was clearly the magic of life, and the level was so high that it was evenparable to the domain of the God of Devils in dark magic. The God of Devils frowned slightly, and he knew that he had gone a little too far today. Even if he had a lofty authority in the devil n, Vashak was not only the third Devil God, but also the prophet of the devil n. He had to take out this treasure to save Vashaks life, or the present devils might turn away from him. The God of Devils took off his magnificent ck cloak, walked slowly to Vashak, looked at his body, which was graduallying back to life inside the green light; he sighed and said, I think too much. I misjudged you about this. Each and every one of you knows what Austin and Griffin mean to our people. Thats why Im angry. All I can do is to take back your lost life, third brother. I hope you can understand what Im doing. As he spoke, he put his cloak on Vashak with his own hands. The turquoise lights aura of life was very strong, and after a while, Vashak recovered not only because of the vitality of the Prophecy of Life, but also because of the trauma caused by the prophecy to his body. For a moment he felt soplicated that he looked at the God of Devils in front of him, speechless. The God of Devils waved his hand and broke the seal off of the Moon Devil God, then turned around and walked slowly back to his throne. The resentment in the hearts of several devil gods quickly disappeared with the restoration of the vitality of the Star Devil God. Agarez, the Moon Devil God, quickly came to where the Star Devil God, Vashak, with a look of worry in his eyes. Vashak took a deep look at him with gratitude in his eyes. Among so many devil gods, almost everyone had received his favor. As a prophet of the devil n, almost all the devil gods hade to him and begged him to make a prophecy. However, at the critical moment, the one who was willing to speak for him and even did not hesitate if the God of Devils would be mad was Agarez, the Moon Devil God. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Although Vashak said nothing, his grateful eyes told the Moon Devil God a lot of things. Agarez winked at him, and Vashak nodded gently. He wrapped his body in the cloak of the God of Devils and stepped forward a few steps and fell to his knees respectfully. Your Majesty, Minister Vashak confesses to you that Long Haochen is indeed alive. It is myck of prophecy ability that has caused so much trouble to you, Your Majesty. Please punish me, Your Majesty. Agarez and Vashak knew the God of Devils temper very well that although the Prophecy of Life just now indicated that the God of Devils had wronged the Star Devil God, who dared to really me him? No matter how much resentment Vashak felt in his heart, he couldnt show it on the surface. And he even had to cover up for the mistake made by the God of Devils. Fengxiu, the God of Devils, had been the strongest of the devil n for more than 6,000 years, and it was not just the strength that got him where he was right now. He waved his hand and a spiritual force lifted the Star Devil God, Vashak up. Fengxiu sighed. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Youre not guilty. Its my fault. However, I believe you also feel the benefit of that aura of life to you just now, even if it is the apology given to you by the eldest brother. It is called the Elf Source, which can not only restore your vitality, but also to increase your lifespan by at least 500 years. Over the years, you have foretold and damaged the source many times for our n, which can also be regarded as a reward for the whole n. I hope you dont hold any grudge against your eldest brother. Vashak bowed his head and said, I dare not. Thank you, your Majesty, for your reward. Chapter 780 - Life Prophecy (III)

Chapter 780: Life Prophecy (III)

The God of Devils said, I know you are all dissatisfied with what I just did, but you should also know what Austin and Griffin mean to our people. Not long ago, I took the opportunity of istion to confuse the humans hidden in the capital and went to the Dream Pce. I killed the elf dragon with nearly one million psychic powers, destroyed the Dream Pce and Dream Paradise, and tried to capture the wisp of the spirit left by the Goddess of Nature on Earth. After I killed the elf dragon, I left behind the origin and heart of the elf. The heart of the spirit was taken away by the spirit of the Goddess of Nature, and the origin of the spirit fell into my hands. Seeing that I was about to get it, Long Haochen ruined my n. His strength has threatened me and quickly saved the spirit of the Goddess of Nature. As a result, I lost the chance to be a real god. Hearing what he said, the devil gods suddenly realized that the reason for the God of Devils anger was not only because Long Haochen was still alive and Austin and Griffin might have survived, but also because his n to be a real god had been destroyed. There was no doubt that after being rescued by Long Haochen, it was almost impossible for the God of Devils to get the spirit left by the Goddess of Nature. Although the devil gods knew that the practice level of the God of Devils was unfathomable, it was the first time that he personally admitted that he had the possibility of bing a god. For a while, the pressure that had just disappeared in the hearts of the devils suddenly appeared again. As the most powerful group of devils, they were well aware of what it meant to be divine. No wonder the God of Devils didnt seem to care so much about major events in many tribes in recent years. It turned out that he had really reached that level. The God of Devils said coldly, Long Haochen is still alive, which is a threat. Even if Austin and Griffin are indeed dead, he is also likely to threaten our rule. When he met me this time, his practice level had surpassed the strongest in human history. And he is only in his twenties this year. If we give him enough time and space, our family will be in danger. Therefore, I have decided tounch a holy war again and be sure to kill Long Haochenpletely, whether he is human or undead. No one dared to refute the God of Devils words, even though the devil gods knew that in the absence of the threat of Austin and Griffin, the God of Devils was more keen to take back the throne. They did not dare to say anything more. They learned the lesson drawn from the Star Devil God, Vashaks mistake, and the God of Devils did not have a second elf origin. Tell me, what suggestions do you have? The majestic eyes of the God of Devils swept over the devils below. The devils looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first, because the news came so suddenly. Just then, Po, that stood next to God of Devils, opened his mouth. Po took the first two steps and knelt down on one knee in front of the God of Devils. Father, since you want to start a holy war, I think we must go all out this time. Our people used a lot of money in thest holy war, and so did the human race, but after all, we did notpletely break through their fortress. In my opinion, this time, no matter what, we have to go inside the human races fortress and strike a blow at them thoroughly. Although it is not possible to wipe out all mankind, it is also necessary to really hurt them, or even destroy one or two temples. The God of Devils said impatiently, Be more specific. Empty words are useless. Specifically, I think we should concentrate our forces on attacking one or two fortresses of mankind this time, said Po. With the strength of our race, it is impossible for them to resist. Since the purpose of this time is to annihte rather than just suppress and attack, we must be ruthless. I would like to be a pioneer and lead the n to fight. A glimpse of coldness shed in the eyes of the God of Devils. You are right about one thing. This time, we must hit human beings hard and make sure they are in pain. ording to our spies on the human side, human strength has recovered quickly in the years since the end of thest holy war, at least much faster than ours. The advantages of human beings are also beginning to emerge. If it goes on like this, then it will not take many years, and mankind will evenunch a counter-offensive against us. This must not be allowed. This holy war is no longer a trifle. I want to let mankind know what an irresistible force is. Agarez and Vashak, when you go back, integrate your people. This time, our three tribes will do our best. Id like to see how long mankind can resist. Of course, before that, its time to clean up those pesky flies in Modu. I havent touched them all these years. Im afraid they dont think I can handle them. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, respectfully said, Your Majesty, where do you suggest we begin our attack against mankind this time? I, the devil n, pledge allegiance to you, Your Majesty, and would like to be the pawn. The God of Devils said faintly, Where to attack doesnt matter as humans cannot ward off it anyway. The specific strategy will wait until I get rid of those pesky flies in Modu. Po, gather all Hunter Expelling Devil to return to Modu. Starting from today, you will be in charge. Get ready for the fight. Yes. Pos eyes glowed with cold light, and a strong sense of excitement for the attack and opportunity rushed out. The devil gods below fell on their knees at the same time. We swear allegiance to you, Your Majesty. If the devilsunch an attack, the most likely target is our Yu Longguan. Long Haochen ranked first in the conference room of the Knight Temple, and beside him was Long Xingyu and the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group. In the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, apart from Long Haochen, everyone else was a federal congressman and was qualified to attend the meeting. As soon as Long Haochens words came out, it immediately caused the shock of arge number of strong knights in the temple. Long Xingyu asked doubtfully, Why does the chairman have such a guess? Long Haochen said. Because the goal of the God of Devils is me. You should still remember that I once defeated the devil pirs of the Devil n together with my friends. The Serpent Devil God Andu Mari and the Leopard Devil God Ossers devil pir had been destroyed by us, so that the Devil familys 72 devil pirs became 70 devil pirs now, and it is impossible to recover. This is because I have mastered a special power that happened to be able to restrain the devil pir of the Devil n and destroy it. To revenge, the God of Devils once set a trap, ambushed us in the Devil n, and nearly killed mepletely. To be exact, he thought I was dead. This time, in order to prevent him from acquiring the spirit of the Goddess of Nature, we met again. The God of Devils must have a sense of crisis and start a holy war again, and the goal is still me. For the Devil n, I am now a big obstacle for them. If they dont kill me, the God of Devils will never feel at ease. And the best way to target me is to attack Yu Longguan directly, because the God of Devils must know that as a member of the Knight Temple, I cant give up Yu Longguan. So, I guess his first goal is probably to attack us directly. After listening to Long Haochens exnation, everyone nodded one after another. However, from the worries in their eyes, it could be seen that Yu Longguan was really unwilling to fight with the devil n. Long Haochen said in a deep voice, I can understand your concern. Just a few years after the end of the holy war, we are still recuperating. If the devilse again, it will certainly bring a great disaster. Moreover, this time, the God of Devils is likely to personally lead the anti-heavenly dragon n toe. It will be more dangerous than the previous holy war. However, it is not up to us to decide whether the war will begin or not. Although it was an ident to prevent the God of Devils from acquiring the Goddess of Nature, I am sure that if the God of Devils seeds, then we human beings will have no day to turn around and there will be no future. Therefore, what we can do is to fight the devils to the death with all our strength. And this war is likely to be the turning point of the dark age. We, the people of the Knight Temple, have an unprecedented number of six Sealed Divine knights, which means that history has entrusted us with a great responsibility. Todays meeting has only one purpose. No matter when the new holy war begins and how powerful the enemy is, I hope we, the people of Knight Temple, will be ready to fight and face theing hardship in the strongest state. It is up to you whether you can open up a ray of light in the dark. As President of the Union, I am duty-bound. As the Knight Temple Glory and Leader Divide Sealed Knight, I can assure you that the God of Devils cannot hurt any of our fellow soldiers before I die. As soon as these impassioned words came out, all the high level officers of the Knights Temple immediately warmed up. Long Haochens guarantee meant that he would bear all the responsibility for fighting the God of Devils, the strongest of the devil n. In the history of mankind, whether it was the son of reincarnation or the god of the sword of light, they were a generation of heavenly arrogance, even though no one had ever dared to promise what Long Haochen had promised. When it came to the fact that Long Haochen was already the master of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the confidence of the top echelons of the Knight Temple had been enhanced a little bit. Long Haochen continued, I have written to the federal headquarters and in the near future, senior federal officials wille to Yu Longguan to discuss strategies against the enemy. At the same time, they will also bring the newly formed first and second legions of the federation. We will make a decision on specific strategies and tactics after careful deliberation. At the end of the meeting, Long Haochens goal was basically achieved, at least the morale of the Yu Longguans Knight Temple had been mobilized by him. However, Long Haochen did not feel half rxed because he knew that after the previous holy war, the six shrines of mankind now were afraid of war. After all, the loss of mankind in the previous holy war was too great. However, bad things could happen. The arrival of the God of Devils waspletely predictable, and what Long Haochen needed to do now was to mobilize morale as much as possible and gather all the strength of the Temple Federation to deal with difficulties.

Chapter 781: Legends Of The Eternal Heroes (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio After receiving Long Haochens letter, the Temple Federation headquarters made full efforts to distribute the six temples and ordered them to prepare for battle. At the same time, three members from each temple were elected to attend the meeting at the Knights Temple at Yu Longguan. All the vice presidents of the Federation were also there. The first and second legions of the Federation, which had been integrated and trained, would also go to Yu Longguan. All the hunting troupes had been assigned to the war and they made all the efforts to find out the movements of the Devil n. ording to the returned demon hunters, the Devil n had indeed made some movement, and the most powerful ten Devil tribes were all deploying troops. The most shocking news for the Temple Federation was that the God of Devils summoned more than 50 devil gods to bring their devil pirs and attend the meeting in Modu. After the news came, it immediately caused an uproar at the Temple Federation. The devils did not mobilize these many devils during the previous holy war! Among the 72 devil pirs, two devil pirs had been destroyed, and a total of nine devils had been killed at the same time. In other words, there were actually only 63 devils with 72 devil pirs. In addition to leaving some devil gods to guard the important provinces, the God of Devils could be said to have mobilized all the powers of the devil gods at his disposal. It seemed like a decisive battle with mankind. How could such a situation not shock the Temple Federation? No one expected that after the establishment of the new federation, the reaction of the Devil n would be this fast and resolute. Only the top echelons of the Federation knew that the reason for the holy war was because of God of Devils rage towards Long Haochen. But what could they do? Hand Long Haochen over to them? That was absolutely impossible. When Long Haochens strength was not this strong, the Temple Alliance withstood the pressure and did not hesitate to fight a holy war with the Devil n. Not to mention that now Long Haochen was fully prepared; he was not only powerful, but also had be the supreme ruler of the Temple Federation. He had unprecedentedly be the leader of the Sealed Divine Knight and got recognition from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Along with the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, it could be said that the strength of their hunting group alone wasparable to the overall strength of the high level of any of the six temples. Half a monthter. The top officials of the Temple Federation gathered at Yu Longguan, and the two major legions also entered after the integration of the Federation. Just as they began the first and most important meeting in federal history, the bad news suddenly came. What? Including Long Haochen, all the senior federal officials in therge conference room stood up in shock, and the conference room was full of unease. The Devil Gods Hunter group and the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group were all wiped out The news was too sudden and too shocking. For a moment, the whole conference room was silent, and everyone felt like a sledgehammer. As the president of the Federation, Long Haochen looked even paler. At a time when the war between humans and devils was about to break out, this news was really shocking and the whole Temple Federation was blown away by it. Apart from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, the only two remaining high-level hunter groups were the Devil Gods Hunter group and the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group. Long Haochen was not familiar with the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group but he was familiar with the Devil Gods Hunter group. The legendary almighty Chen Zidian had helped him in so many ways so that he could sessfully ascend as the Federations president. However, he never thought that the Devil Gods Hunter group would bepletely destroyed by the Devil n in just a few months. After a brief shock, Long Haochen forcibly suppressed his inner sadness and asked the head of the Imperial Hunter group who brought the news, Are this news urate? The head of the Imperial Hunter group, an old man of about eighty years old, said sadly, The news is urate. Elder Chen Zidian has always had specific contact information with our group. At the time of the incident, the news came quickly from him. He told us to withdraw to the Federation immediately. The God of Devils himself led the Moon Devil God, Star Devil God, Undead Devil God, Hell Devil God and more than a dozen devils to besiege them without warning. By the time the elder Chen Zidian sent the message, he was already about to be defeated. But before the Devil Gods Hunter group and the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group copsed, they also fought back in the face of death and killed three devils. Chen Zidian elder also sent us an urate figure. In addition to the three devil gods that were killed, as many as 54 other devils gathered in Madu. Chen Zidiansst words puzzled me a little. He said, the God of Devils hides After he said the word hides, he stopped speaking, and it is obvious that he was badly hurt by the God of Devils. Hearing this, the high echelons of the Temple Federation could not help but gasped. Everyone looked at each other at the same time with shocking expressions, except Long Haochen who remained calm. The atmosphere in the conference room becamepletely rigid. Long Haochens heart became heavy, and his eyes were full of grief. He did not know the strength of the Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group, but he knew about the Devil Gods Hunter group led by Chen Zidian well. The psychic powers of all the members generally exceeded three-hundred thousands, they all had reached level nine of rank three and all their domain practices were also high. Chen Zidians practice level already reached the level nine of rank four. Under his leadership, even if he were to be besieged by many strong enemies, he and one or two people should have been able to escape. However, in the end, the whole army was wiped out. If he didnt know what could be done, how could Chen Zidian just spread the news instead of helping at least one teammate to break out of the siege? Two high-level hunter groups fell, and for the Temple Federation, the blow was unparalleled. Especially in terms of morale, this was the heaviest blow since the founding of the new federation. Yang Haohan said in a sunken voice, Block the news and never let it get out. President, I suggest that all hunter groups in the territory of the Devil n be recalled immediately. Long Haochen nodded and said, I agree. If anyone has a different opinion, say it now. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Even two high-level hunter groups had fallen to the Devil n, which showed how determined the God of Devils was this time. If other hunter groups had continued to stay, they would only be killed. After the resolution waspleted, there was a sudden silence in therge conference room, and everyone was contemting. They all felt a greater pressure than ever before. The fall of the two high-level hunter groups made them fully feel that the holy war this time would be very different from the previous one. Not only the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n, the Moon Devil n, Star Devil n were bound to participate in the war, but the God of Devils also summoned almost 90% of the Devil ns forces. This was clearly a decisive battle! The Devil n were determined to destroy mankind in whole. Yang Haohan sighed and said, We have to use extra help. At this point, he looked at Long Haochen and said with a deep voice, President, I propose to deploy the power of the Knights Holy Mountain Long Haochen was stupefied for a moment since he did not fully understand the meaning of Yang Haohans words. Yang Haohan was now a Sealed Divine Knight and one of the masters of the Knight Temple, but he was not even a vice chairman in the new federation. However, at the critical moment, as a former leader of the alliance, he appeared surprisingly calm. Hearing the word Knights Holy Mountain, the owners of the six temples all raised their heads with a curious look. Long Haochen asked, Lord Yang, what do you mean by the power of the Knights Holy Mountain? In his impression, the Knights Holy Mountain was home to all kinds of light Warcraft, which was a ce that provided mounts for excellent young knights. At the same time, it also provided some elders of the Knight Temple who were badly injured in the war with the devils. However, how could this power be mentioned as a counterweight to the devils? Yang Haohans words must mean something. Yang Haohan slowly stood up and exchanged his eyes with several other temple masters. When ites to this critical moment of life and death, there are some things that must be said to everyone, and then the federalwmakers can discuss and make a decisionter, Yang Haohan said. Li Zhengzhi, the master of the Magic Temple, nodded and said, Thats our only choice. Qiu Yonghao, the former master of the Soldiers Temple, Chen Hongyu, the master of the former Temple of Souls, Sheng Yue, the former master of the Assassin Temple and Ling Xiao, the master of the Priest Temple, all nodded their heads one after another. Yang Haohan, seeing that all the lords agreed, turned to Long Haochen and said, President, vice president and congressmen. Im going to tell you the secret about the Knights Holy Mountain. Whether a resolution can be formed or not, please keep it a secret, because it is rted to the morale of the federal army. Once it is leaked, it will certainly have an inestimable impact. In this short period of time, Long Haochen had vaguely guessed that the secret of the Knights Holy Mountain should be some kind of a killer mace of human beings against the devils. It was just that there should be something shady about this killers mace, otherwise it wouldnt be so mysterious, and it could have been used in the previous holy war. Yang Haohan said, As early as 6,000 years ago, when the devil tribe came and attacked us, the lives of the Holy Devil Maind were destroyed, and the human poption that originally ruled the maind plummeted. At that time, the Devil n burned and looted and did everything evil. In order to survive, capablepatriots can only choose to flee, under the continuous oppression of the devil n. They finally gathered in the current sphere of influence of our temple federation and formed six temples topete with the devils. After decades of war, we finally regained our footing and stopped the attack of the devils with the help of the six fortresses where the six temples are located.. However, at that time, the devils were still strong and fought a decisive battle with the Temple Alliance at that time. Chapter 782 - Legends Of The Eternal Heroes (II)

Chapter 782: Legends Of The Eternal Heroes (II)

In that decisive battle, nearly half of the devil gods of the 72 devil pirs were injured, many of which were killed because of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation acquired by us, the Knight Temple. And nearly a hundred of level-ninth strong men from our side fell in that war. Both sides suffered a great loss and the devils did not know the details of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, so they retreated. At the same time as the dark age was formed, it finally gave us a chance to recuperate. And just after the end of that war, among the hundreds of level-ninth strong men that fell, we recovered more than 60plete corpses. They are our ancestors and they sacrificed their lives for the survival of human beings. If it were not for our ancestors hard efforts, we would not be where we are today. At that time, the alliance had just been established and was far from stable. But simrly, there were also many powerful weapons and magical props handed down from ancient times. Among them, a scroll has been handed down at the Knight Temple. At this point, Yang Haohans mood and expression got even more intense as everyone was listening attentively, they knew that Yang Haohans story had reached a critical moment. That scroll is called the Reincarnation Scroll. It sounds like amon name, but the spiritual magic recorded in that scroll is a forbidden spell and, in some cases, even a super forbidden spell. Forbidden magic scrolls were so rare that even Long Haochen had only seen them two or three times since he started his practice. As for the scroll of the super forbidden spell, he hadnt even heard of it. Just vaguely knew that the difference between a super forbidden spell and a forbidden spell was like the difference between a super artifact and a mere artifact. A super forbidden spell could even reverse the upation of a war and move mountains to fill the sea. But then what Yang Haohan said shocked the whole audience. However, this super forbidden spell is the magic of the undead. As soon as this remark came out, Long Haochen almost eximed, and the whole audience was shocked. Dozens of people in thisrge conference room were representatives and could be said to be the most powerful people of the Temple Federation today, but when they heard the word magic of the undead, they felt chills along their spines, and some people shivered with cold. The magic of the undead had left too many painful lessons in human history. When they heard of these four words, it was no surprise that their expression changed. This was also the reason why Long Haochen resisted so much when he discovered that the Tower of Eternal was an inheritance of the magic of the undead. Yang Haohan continued, Predictably, the function of this super forbidden spell of the undead magic is to turn the dead into the undead. The reason why it is super forbidden is that when it turns the dead into the undead, it can reunite the souls of the dead who have been dead for no more than 12 hours to form the soul of a very strong undead that kept their knowledge and skills before death. The scope of this magic is 100 square meters. When Yang Haohan mentioned about bringing back the bodies of the strong, everyone at the scene already sensed something, but still some could not believe it yet. They all listened to Yang Haohan quietly. I know you dont understand, not only you, but also the leaders of the six temples at that time were equally reluctant to use this scroll. The magic of the undead has brought us too many painful memories. It can be said that had it not been for the catastrophe before the advent of the dark age, the devils might not have been able to force us to such an extent. Even the glorious Vatican at that time was destroyed by the devils. In a sense, the splendid Vatican is the predecessor of our Knight Temple. Long Haochen subconsciously looked at Caier, and he noticed that members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were also looking at him. Everyone looked a little strange, but they clearly supported Long Haochen firmly. There was a fierce debate at that time, Yang Haohan said. Some people supported the use of this scroll, so that our dead level-ninth strong men will be the undead, and they will live in another form after death. As long as they are alive, it is equivalent to more than half of the strength lost by the Temple Alliance at that time. Even if the devils wage war against us again, it will be much easier for us to resist. There were also some people who believe that the use of Reincarnation Scroll is a sphemy to their dead predecessors, and that their souls cannot rest in peace. Moreover, once they be undead, we cannot be sure that their characters and memories will remain the same. If there are any changes, wont mankind be caught in an absolute disaster? Even the newly formed foundation of the Temple Alliance cannot be preserved. There was a great conflict between these two opinions. In the end, the conflict came to an end, and what was finally decided was the distance from where the devil army retreated to. At that time, the devils did not retreat directly andpletely, but stopped 500 miles from the alliance border. When the remaining devil gods of the 72 devil pirs retreated, their devil pirs still remained at the border. And it seemed like they would make aeback any time. In that case, coupled with the support of the families of those who died, this super forbidden spell turn scroll was finally used. Many people subconsciously held their breath when they heard his. Although they could all guessed what the result would be, they felt excited when they thought of the urgent situation at that time. It was a sess. A total of 63 level-ninth strong men turned into the spirits of the undead and condensed into their own souls of strong. Although their bodies were still broken, their strength was not weakened by the existence of the soul of the strong and they also gained some power of the undead. The power of that super forbidden spell is evident. At that time, almost all of the 63 strong men could not ept this fact. They died fighting for mankind, and they were the real heroes. However, after they are transformed into undead, what are they? Fortunately, before using the scroll, the masters of the six temples at that time had reached an agreement to jointly dere their recognition by the alliance. They gave all of them the title of Eternal Heroes of the alliance and promised to open up a separate ce for them to move into. They only had to help other alliance fight against devils when that alliance could not resist the strong devils attack. After the persuasion of the masters of the six temples at that time and the families of these Eternal Heroes, they gradually epted this reality. For their families, it was also a kind of happiness to be able to hear them and see theme back to life in the form of the undead. As a result, the 63 Eternal Heroes were ced by the Alliance in a secret location where they could rest. And this ce is known as the inside of the Knights Holy mountain. The existence of Eternal Heroes was definitely the greatest secret of the Temple Alliance. Yang Haohan revealed this secret because of the tremendous pressure from the Devil n to use the power of these Eternal Heroes. For a moment, the Temple Congressmen in the room looked at each other, and most of them felt that their brains couldnt process all this information properly. Just like the dispute at that time, with the help of the power of the undead, it was definitely a big deal for the Temple Federation. As Yang Haohan said before, if this matter were to be leaked out, then the blow to the Union would be unparalleled. If ordinary people knew that there was such a powerful undead force in the Union, they would not be able to understand. Fear would definitely upy the vast majority, especially in the army, and a big strike would bound on the morale. After the arrangement of 63 Eternal Heroes, the masters of the six temples strictly forbid the spread of any relevant news. At the same time, it is stipted that this secret can only be known by the masters of the six temples in the past. Moreover, until the critical moment of the life and death of the alliance, we must not use the power of the Eternal Heroes and let them rest forever inside the Knights Holy Mountain. Not long after, the army of devils finally retreatedpletely. The power of Eternal Heroes did not reappear on the battlefield ever again. But their existence has remained in the hearts of the six temple masters of all generations. Until now. After introduced these details, Yang Haohan returned to his position and turned his attention to Long Haochen. To his great relief, Long Haochen was still very calm after listening to his story, without excessive surprise or disgust. ording to the rules, after Yang Haohan spoke, it should be Long Haochen, president of the Federation, to speak. However, before he could speak, Long Tianyin spoke first. I do not agree to use the power of the Eternal Heroes. As Long Tianyin spoke, a Sealed Divine Knight stood up abruptly, looked at Yang Haohan with dissatisfaction, and said, I would like to emphasize that although Xingyu and I are also masters of the Knight Temple, we do not know about this. Yang Haohan nodded and said, Yes, although our Knight Temple has special circumstances, and we can have multiple masters, this secret can only be handed down by word of mouth. And its only told to one person from generation to generation. Long Tianyin snorted and said, Lao Yang, why are you so confused? They are lost undead creatures! They are our ancestors, and they have made great contributions to mankind and sacrificed their lives. There was a big problem with turning them into undead creatures, but how can we still borrow their power now? Have you thought about it? Once they go to war, the paper cant contain the fire, and it will be known by our soldiers. At that time, how can we exin to the federal soldiers? What would it be like if a group of powerful undead appeared on the battlefield? Moreover, after thousands of years, can you be sure that the mentality of these eternal heroes has not changed in such a long time? Once they leave their resting ce and appear outside, they couldpletely go out of our control even if they are strong enough and have a lot ofbat effectiveness. They are our ancestors. Will they follow the orders of their descendants? We might fail to make use of their strength and suffer counter-attack instead. The Union is already in such a great danger that we cant take any more risk! Chapter 783 - Legends Of The Eternal Heroes (III)

Chapter 783: Legends Of The Eternal Heroes (III)

After listening to Long Tianyins words, many people were moved. Long Xingyu nodded multiple times and said, I agree with the Lord Long. We shouldnt be hasty. There are too many unpredictable dangers. And I also dont think we can easily use the power of Eternal Heroes. The statement of the two Sealed Divine Knights immediately plunged everyone into contemtion. Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu, father and son, had high status in the Knight Temple and had great influences. Although Yang Haohan used to be the leader of the Temple Alliance, he sat at the alliance headquarters after all, while the Knight Temple Yu Longguan side had always beenmanded by Long Tianyin and his son. With their words, members of other temples would take it into full consideration. Li Zhengzhi said, I think this is feasible. Another limitation of the original Reincarnation Scroll was that the strong undead who were reincarnated by the forbidden spell recorded on the Reincarnation Scroll could only survive for a thousand years. Today, more than 6,000 years have passed. The masters of each generation of the six temples will actually greet these Eternal Heroes. We have received news from them that Eternal Heroes prolong the lives of their undead by letting themselves sleep. However, about 40 years ago, when theyst heard the news, they said that their time was running out. In another 50 years at the most, they will be asleep forever. They will never wake up again. At that time, they suggested that if the alliance needed it, they would be willing to pay thest bit of residual heat for the alliance before falling asleep forever. In other words, even if we do not use the power of the Eternal Heroes, they will live for ten years at most. Therefore, I agree with the suggestion of Lord Yang. Eternal Heroes can be trusted. As for how to use their power, I believe that we can always find a way to cover up our little secret. There are not many of them. I believe that these Eternal Heroes can y a role in turning things around on the battlefield. I still feel skeptical, Ling Xiao said, who, as the master of the Priest Temple, hated the undead the most. I agree with Lao Yang, but I dont approve of using their power, he said. The undead are the undead. Think about how the undead survive. They need the power of darkness to deal with corpses, darkness and all the aura of evil. Although these Eternal Heroes are our ancestors and have made great contributions to mankind, they have been dead for thousands of years. What the two Lords said was correct, that if something goes wrong, it is likely to be irrevocable for the Union. Listening to Ling Xiao, Yang Haohan frowned. He knew that his proposal was bound to cause controversy, but he did not expect that the controversy would be so fierce. Ling Xiaos opposition was still in his expectation, but the strong opposition of Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu was beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought that even if Long Tianyin and his son did not support it, they would not object the idea so much. But who would have thought that they were the first to speak out against it. The opinions of Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu were very important because they were rtives of Long Haochen, and their attitude was likely to affect Long Haochen, who was the president of the Federation. Perhaps, the influence of Long Haochen in the whole Union could not bepared with the veteran masters of the six temples. However, in todays meeting, he could at least affect all the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group! In the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, in addition to Long Haochen being the president of the Federation, there were three vice chairmen, Caier, Chen Yinger, and Wang Yuanyuan. They might not enjoy great prestige, but if the vote method was adopted finally, the group would had nearly one third of all the votes. Therefore, it was very important whether Long Haochen supported this proposal or not. Yang Haoyu, the Holy Knight of Starry Sky, suddenly opened his mouth. With a slight cough, he immediately attracted everyones attention. As the strongest man in the alliance, his attitude was also very important. Whether this is right or wrong, good or bad, none of us cane to a conclusion at the moment. Negotiation is a good thing. However, I must remind you that this is no longer the time of the Temple Alliance, but the Temple Federation. Now that it is under discussion, arent you going a little too far without listening to what chairman has to say? Instead of directly supporting Yang Haohan or expressing his opinion, Yang Haoyu maintained Long Haochens dignity as president of the Federation. In fact, he didnt understand what happened to Long Haochen today. Long Haochen had always been smart and always able to control the situation. Todays meeting was so important, as the president of the Federation, how could he be so silent and just listened to everyone quarrelling? After listening to Yang Haoyus words, Yang Haohan nodded and said, Thats what I mean. Lets listen to the chairmans opinion first. Long Tianyin did not react. In his mind, Long Haochen was also his grandson, and he really opposed Yang Haohans proposal from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would not have refuted it immediately regardless of their close rtionship. Long Xingyu frowned slightly, but it didnt show what he was actually thinking. And at the same time, everyones eyes focused on Long Haochen. Long Haochen smiled calmly and said, Now that a new federation has been established. All issue will eventually be decided by everyone. The final vote will represent the wishes of the vast majority of the people. However, before more people dere their position and vote, I would like to tell you a story. Lord Yang, do you have the name of the maker of the Reincarnation Scroll you just mentioned? Yang Haohan was stupefied for a moment. He didnt expect Long Haochen to ask such a question. He subconsciously shook his head and said: Its not recorded in the ssics, but it just says that this Reincarnation Scroll may have been made by the necromancer who caused the destruction of life on the maind. But I dont know why it survived. It could also be the booty gained when the brilliant Vatican defeated him. Long Haochen nodded and said, So, who knows the name of this necromancer? Long Tianyin frowned slightly and said, Chairman, there seems to be no point in asking this. Moreover, the original necromancers were before the advent of the dark age. More than 6500 years ago. There are few records about him, but it is only certain that there is such a powerful and evil necromancer. No more details about his specific situation. Long Haochen said, So no one knows? Then, Ill tell you. As he spoke, he stood up slowly and as his body shed a little, he came to the front from behind the table. A group of strong men that sat on the rostrum were surprised to find that it was at that moment that Long Haochen was shuttling through space. Visually, it seemed like he was going straight through the table. But in fact, it was simr to the ability to transfer in an instant. His strength had improved a lot! Yang Haoyu could not help but marveled secretly inside. Moreover, he realized that he could not see through the extent of Long Haochens cultivation. Standing in front of the rostrum, Long Haochen said, The necromancer who made the Reincarnation Scroll is Electrolux. He was the one who brought great disasters to our mankind before the advent of the dark age. He gave himself a nickname, the Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. If it were not for his existence, the disaster he had caused to mankind wouldnt have happened. Perhaps, in the initial fight against the devils, we would not have suffered such a catastrophe, nor would we have the dark ages of more than 6,000 years. However, necromancers are originally human beings. Ive never heard of any other creature directly progressing a necromancer, right? so why did hey his hands on human beings and cause the destruction of their lives? Ling Xiao, the master of the Priest Temple, said subconsciously, This kind of necromancer must be evil by nature and aims to destroy the world. Long Haochen smiled. Lord Ling, that is a wrong guess. If I tell you here that the necromancer, who had brought disaster to mankind has a light attribute himself and all his undead magic is also based on the light attribute, will you believe it? Thats not possible. Long Tianyin, Long Xingyu, Ling Xiao, and even brothers Yang Haoyu and Yang Haohan said in unison. They were all representatives of the light domain. Long Haochen shook his head and said, No. Im telling the truth. Because this necromancer used to be not only a light wizard, but also a son of light like me. As soon as this remark came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. For a moment, everyone looked at Long Haochen as if they were looking at a lunatic. Only the people of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group remained calm. Long Tianyin stood up and said angrily, Long Haochen, do you know what you are talking about? Are you defending the necromancer and even fabricate this impossible reason? Long Haochen looked at Long Tianyin with burning eyes and refused to give way. Lord Long, please dont be so loud and sit down first. Since I am the president of the Federation, I hope that no one will interrupt me from now on before I finish. Otherwise, I will ask that person to get out of here. Chapter 784 - National Idol (I)

Chapter 784: National Idol (I)

Long Tianyin was stupefied for a moment as he did not expect Long Haochen to talk to him like this. He got angry and said, Well, I would like to see how you would ask me to get out? How dare you give me a demand. The light in Long Haochens eyes suddenly blossomed, and then his right hand attacked Long Tianyins body from far away. Long Haochen attacking Long Tianyin at the meeting was such an inconceivable scene, but it just happened. Long Tianyin shouted angrily and punched Long Haochen, while his face was flushed with anger. He was a veteran of the Knight Temple, and his grandson embarrassed him in front of everyone. However, a scene that shocked all the strong people there appeared once again. Long Haochens body suddenly turned into a touch of gold, and the soft golden light looked very gentle. His empty palm shed a golden palm print in the air. When the angry punch of Long Tianyin approached near, under the flow of gold, Long Tianyins body vibrated slightly. Then, his body was covered by the golden light from Long Haochens hand. The next moment, Long Tianyins body disappeared within that golden light. One move. Just one move. Domain For Me? Li Zhengzhis deep cry shocked everyone. What was that about? Everyone here knew it all too well. Level nine of rank five. Their federal presidents practice level had reached level nine of rank five. In the temple not long ago, Long Haochen showed only the strength of level nine of rank two or three. However, in only such a short period of two months, his practice level already made breakthroughs so many times in a row. For many of the top level-nine strongmen, that would take a lifetime effort to achieve! For a moment, some changes took ce when the federal executives looked at Long Haochens face. Whether in the Temple Federation or in the Devil n, the one with the greatest strength was often the one who had thergest voice. Haochen, you. Long Xingyu was also very shocked and angry. However, when he saw Long Haochens serious eyes, he could not go on, and he sat there in silence. Long Haochen looked at Yang Haohan and said, ording to federalw, at the federal meeting, if a congressman were to make disrespectful remarks to the federal president, the federal president could temporarily remove that congressman for the time being. Am I right? Yang Haohan subconsciously nodded. In fact, he was still shocked by Long Haochens action. Long Haochen smiled calmly and said, Lord Long is a little tired. I just asked him to have a rest. There is no need to worry. Obviously, no one would worry about Long Haochens attack on Long Tianyin. After all, he was his grandfather. However, what Long Haochen had just done made the strong people of the six temples felt respect for him. The Temple Federation had just been established, and in the minds of many people, they still thought of it as how it used to be. Long Haochen and his Light Dawn Demon Hunter group had never given orders in the Union before. Therefore, many people did not recognize this federal president. They just knew that this group of hunters was very strong. However, in the previous Temple Alliance, the majority mainly followed the orders of their respective temples. However, Long Haochens behavior just now was undoubtedly telling them that now he was the leader of the Temple Federation. Moreover, he also used his strength to show everyone what he was capable of. In the fight with Long Tianyin, he did not use the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, but he still made Long Tianyin lost all hisbat effectiveness and got transported away. This strength was obviously no longer inferior to the Holy Knight of Starry Sky, Yang Haoyu, plus the increase in the number one Sealed Divine Throne in history. It was only then that people were shocked to find that their federal president had reached such a high level. This discovery made them gradually forget Long Haochens age and looked at him with more respect. And as of where Long Tianyin went, he was just right outside the conference room. However, now the Knight Temple Lords face no longer had traces of anger. Instead, there was a faint smile. This little kid. Ill get even with youter. Hehe. As he spoke, the formidable Sealed Divine Knight of Control and Restraint walked away calmly. Those congressmen that stared nkly did not know that these two grandfather and grandchild had already agreed on making this meeting a way for Long Haochen to establish his name of authority. Even Long Xingyu didnt know. They had proved that they were quite talented at acting. Otherwise, even if Long Haochen was strong enough, he might not be able to seed with just one blow. And with his nature, how could he get angry at his grandfather? Therge conference room gradually quieted down, and Long Haochen said coldly, The story I am telling you is very meaningful to your vote today. Again, I hope that no one will interrupt me in the course of my story. Otherwise, I will also ask that person to get out. You all heard me correctly, the Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux, was the son of Light. The son of Light, just like me. In fact, on the other hand, you will believe a little more. Necromancers are indeed powerful, but they are only a branch of wizards. Can a talented ordinary necromancer bring such a great disaster to mankind? The answer is obviously no. The reason Electrolux was able to do it was that he had enough talent and savvy. At the same time, there was enough hatred that support him to do so. He was a fallen son of Light, but why did he sink? After learning the whole story, I had to clear his name. At the beginning, the natural disaster of the undead came from ourselves, and it was us who created that disaster for ourselves. There was no doubt that Long Haochens story was very attractive. When he said this, he could not help but sigh secretly. Electrolux, you saved my life and passed on your power to me and Caier. You have awakened me at thest minute. In that case, I will correct your name today. Although your mind is no longer there, I still hope you can leave this world with peace. Long Haochen and Caier both epted the great kindness of Electrolux, no matter whether he recognized Electrolux in his heart or not. However, the favor could not be changed, not to mention that Electroluxs final confession deeply moved them. Now it was time for Long Haochen to rectify his name. Everyone must be wondering why I know this. I have to start from the beginning. When we, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, were still generals, we received a mission to explore the Fear Howling Cave found by the Devil n. That task was regarded as a wrong order after we epted it, which also caused an arise of circumstances at the Demon Hunters Task Tower. However, we didplete that task. Long Haochen was now the president of the Federation, and there was no need to hide any more things, not to mention that the matter of the Tower of Eternity had been perfectly resolved. He was not afraid to spit it out. At present, Long Haochen told how he discovered the Tower of Eternity in Fear Howling Cave, became the heir of the Tower of Eternity, and what he experienced in the Tower of Eternity. Then he told of how he gradually discovered the true image of the Tower of Eternity, and how he finally died in the Devils n, but was taken to the Tower of Eternity by Caier for resurrection. It could be said that this had always been his biggest secret, and now it was not only to correct the name of Electrolux, but also to exin to all the senior federal officials how their hunting group had such a strength at a young age. This is the story of Electrolux. It was because he endured too much pain and the hatred of extermination that he embarked on that road of no return. His mistake is unforgivable. But we have to ask, is this necromancer really evil by nature? Long Haochens story was wonderful and touching. Especially when they heard that Caier carried him behind her back and Long Haochen had to go through life and death with hispanions of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group inside the Tower of Eternity, and he was finally brought back to life. That deeply moved everyone. Originally, many people thought that Long Haochen was able to have what he had now because he was the son of light. However, after they listened to his whole story, they realized how much suffering he had endured in the process of his strength improvement. And why he had been missing inside the Devil n for so long. Long Xingyus fists were clenched so hard they turned bluish white, and his fingernails were deeply pierced into the palm of his hand. Tears flew down his face uncontrobly. Long Haochen saw his father in tears, and there was a strange look in his eyes. At the same time, there seemed to be a touch of relief. It was just that no one noticed this slight change in his look. Thats the end of my story. This is my own story. As president of the Federation, I also think that out of a responsible attitude towards the Union, I should tell this secret to everyone. With regard to the Eternal Heroes, my attitude is that they can be invited to fight and exert their final power for the Union. I believe that our ancestors have been waiting for this day for a long time. However, for safetys sake, I will first take a trip to Knights Holy Mountain to confirm their condition. Only when they are really effective and sane will they be allowed to fight in this war. They are the real heroes of the league. In my opinion, this matter should not be hidden from the public, but should be widely publicized. Sometimes our ideas are too conservative. What about the undead? They are the heroes of the Union! Our heroes have paid the price of their lives for the Union, why do they remain anonymous even though they still contribute to the Union after their death. And do you not even dare to let the people they protect know of their existence? I believe that as long as we do a good job in propaganda, the public will understand. Chapter 785 - National Idol (II)

Chapter 785: National Idol (II)

Long Haochens words shocked many people and they realized the strength of the federal president for the first time. No one interrupted until he had finished hisst sentence. Everyone was thinking deeply about what he had said, and even the most stubborn person there, the Lord of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao, changed his expression. Long Haochen shed back to his seat and sat down. What I just said is my personal opinion. Now we can put our heads together. Well voteter. The meeting is still presided over by Yang Dianzhu. After nodding to Long Haochen, Yang Haohan said, I am deeply shocked by the chairmans story. There is such a situation behind the chairmans powerful strength that we didnt know about. The chairman and every member of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group are heroes of the Union. We should salute the heroes. As he spoke, he stood up and gave a standard chivalry gesture to Long Haochen and all the members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. Other congressmen also got up one after another and did the same as Yang Haohan. Long Haochen hurriedly stood up with his friends to return the salute. On the day we became hunters, we decided to throw our lives and shed blood for the Union. I never thought I could end well in the end. Just like the elder Chen Zitang, he must have thought of the oue of the war a long time ago. I believe that although the two hunting groups have perished, they have absolutely no regrets. They are the real heroes. I propose to observe a minute of silence for the Devil Gods Hunter group and Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group. The whole audience was silent. Grief rose unconsciously in everyones heart. However, in this grief, passionate blood was boiling. Many people realized that after listening to Long Haochens story, their inner depression had been reced by a strong sense of war. The fear of fighting the war with the devils army almost all disappeared. The moment of silence ended. Yang Haohan continued with the previous topic. Chairman, there is something I must exin to you. The character of those who are Eternal Heroes will be affected to some extent because they became the undead. I dont agree with you to go in person, in case of any danger. Long Haochen waved his hand and said, There will be no danger. I will go with Caier. Caiers domain of purification is the nemesis of all undead creatures. Therefore, I can assure you that even if our Eternal Heroes do deteriorate and intend to do something harmful to the Union, we, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, will solve this problem ourselves. His words were by no means an exaggeration. No matter how powerful the Eternal Heroes were, they could not bepared with all the armies of undead creatures in Hao Yues ne. Caiers power caused shock and awe to all the undead creatures there, not to mention the 63 Eternal Heroes. If they were to riot, Caier could take care of them with her purifying lotus. Yang Haohan said, In that case, we will discuss this matterter. With regard to the chairmans proposal to correct the name of the Eternal Heroes, we should also consider it in the long term. If it is really to be implemented, then there must be adequate publicity preparations. Long Haochen nodded his head and said, I agree. Li Zhengzhi said, I dont think so. The chairmans proposal is very meaningful, and the chairmans own story is even more persuasive. Even the scourge of the undead, Electrolux, which once caused disaster to our mankind, has its merits as a necromancer, not to mention our Eternal Heroes. If we can record the deeds of the chairman and publicize them widely, it will be much more eptable to throw out the story of Eternal Heroes after this publicity. Long Haochen was stupefied, while Qiu Yonghao, the former master of the Warrior Temple, immediately agreed. Lord Li, this is a good idea. The Union has just been established, and if we can portray the chairman and his wife as national idols, it will certainly be of great benefit to us against the devils. It can also enhance the charisma of the chairman. The image of the chairman and vice chairman Caier also have great potential to be idols. Lets do it. After listening to Qiu Yonghaos analysis, all the Lords presented looked with bright eyes. Chen Yinger immediately said, I agree. The story of the chairman and vice chairman Caier is a legend. It should be publicized. Whats more, this is a better chance for us in fighting the devils. Long Haochen did not expect to put out the glory for his name but only to correct the name of the Eternal Heroes. He wanted to oppose but he had been drowned out by all the voices of approval. The meeting was finally voted unanimously, and Long Haochen personally invited the Eternal Heroes toe out and rectify their names at the same time. The premise of all this was to publicize the couple Long Haochen and Caier. Li Zhengzhi, the master of the Magic Temple, took over the task. The special wizard of the Magic Temple was responsible for directly making a magic short film for publicity. Long Haochen and Caier also had to y together in that short film. This was only the first meeting. More important issues were put on the table at the next days meeting. Where would the devils attack? Was it like the full-scale attack of the previous holy war, or a small attack? If it was just a small attack, then where would it be at? This issue was of vital importance to Temple Federation. Even if it was a head-on encounter, the possibility of victory of the Temple Federation was still small. If they were caught unprepared by the Devil n and the devils invaded into the Temple Federation, then it was inevitable that lives would be destroyed. With the destructive power of the devil army, the Union was in great danger. On this issue, Long Haochen believed that the devils were most likely to directly attack Yu Longguan, where the Knight Temple located at, because the main target of the God of Devils was him. However, he was not absolutely sure either. If the God of Devils were to attack another fortress and concentrate the federal forces at Yu Longguan, it would be tantamount to put the federal people in front of the devil army. Federal executives discussed it for two days, but it was still not decided. However, a series of federal orders were passed on to the other five temples, including the magic short films made for Long Haochen and Caier. With the existence of the Tower of Eternity, coupled with the control of the towers owner and the cooperation of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and the Twelve Sacred Saints, they almostpletely recreated the original scene, although the shooting time was too short and a little rough. However, all the shocking and important situations were stillpletely portrayed, especially because more than a dozen of wizards from the Magic Temple carried out the most borate post-production in the shortest time possible to better shape this expensive magic image. Long Haochen and Caier did not expect that soon their story had moved the whole Union and they really became national idols just like Qiu Yonghao said. Holy City. At dusk, the sky gradually darkened. After the end of the ten-year Dabi Temple, the Holy City gradually quieted down. As the capital and rear area of the Temple Federation, the prosperity here had not changed. It was dark, which also meant that people who had been busy all day had finished their work and could have a rest. And the nightlife of the Holy City had always been very rich. But today there was a strange scene in the Holy City. Just like at the Dabi Temple not long ago, arge number of people poured toward the direction of the Holy League Trial ground. Hey, Brother Zhang, what are you doing in such a hurry at night? Brother, didnt you see the notice posted by the federal headquarters? starting tonight, magical film will be shown for ten consecutive days at the Holy League Trial ground, which is said to have been performed by the federal president and vice president themselves. Magic film? what is that? It is the images and sounds recorded and preserved by magic! The federation is so serious, it should be interesting. Come on, lets go and have a look at the hustle and bustle. Simr conversations continued to spread in the streets of the Holy City, coupled with the power of the notice, and before it waspletely dark, the city was surrounded by people. Ten giant magic screens that had been removed from the Dabi Temple had already been installed here. At this time the magic screens were emitting a dazzling brilliance. The screens would soon y magic images. What will the magic image be? The president and vice president of the federation act in person? Are they learning from each other? But why would the federation use magic to record it and show it to us? Almost every citizen had the same questions on their mind. However, there were no news about it. Curiosity drove them to watch this magic film and they were waiting quietly under the magic screen. The sky waspletely dark, and the dazzling brilliance on the magic screens became even more obvious, even from the distant roof. A mighty voice sounded. The magic film will be yed immediately. However, before broadcasting, we need to give you a simple exnation. The magic video is recorded by the chairman, vice chairman, and members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. Post-production by the Magic Temple. The whole processpletely recreates the story that happened after the struggle between Chairman Long Haochen and Vice Chairman Caier with the Devil n. Therefore, before we begin their story, we need to briefly introduce the background of the story For the background of the story, Chairman Long Haochen was killed by the God of Devils, and the vice chairman Caier and other members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter fled the capital with his body. Thats where our story begins. I believe everyone feels very strange right now. Chairman Long Haochens heart has been broken and he died in the Star Devil Tower. So howe heter became our chairman? So, please take a look at the following film. You will get the answer from it. After the establishment of the Union, it will be more democratic, and each and every one of you is the master of the Union, so you have the power to know about the experience of the first president of our new Union. This is also the reason for the production of this film. In the name of the federal government, all the processes reproduced in the video are real events that have happened in real life. Chapter 786 - National Idol (III)

Chapter 786: National Idol (III)

Never before in the history of the Temple Federation that such a high-level officers experience had been shown so clearly in the eyes of the public. What the temple federal officials just said not only aroused peoples greater curiosity and got them fully absorbed in the story, but also made them feel that they were respected. For a moment, everyones attention waspletely attracted by the magic screens. For the first time, they knew that the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, which once shone brilliantly in the temple, had gone deep into the Devil n, defeated two pirs of the devil gods, and bravely went to Modu in order to kill the Star Devil God. Even the God of Devils did not hesitate to mobilize the three most powerful races of the Devil to set a trap against them. What does the magic image show? When the curiosity of the public were fully aroused, the magic image began to unfold. Ten huge magic screens bloomed with dazzling brilliance almost at the same time, and the bright golden light brought a strong sense of shock to all the people. The golden light gradually converged, and the first thing that appeared in their sight was a grove. A low voice of discussion suddenly rang out. Look! Isnt that the hunter of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group? Thats Vice Chairman Caier. Look, thats Vice Chairman Chen Yinger. She is now the deputy master of the Temple of Souls. Look at that bald head. Thats Si Maxian, the strongestmandment priest in the temple. I still like that wizard. The Phoenix skill he used in the Temple contest is amazing. The voices of the people were overshadowed by the voices in the images. In the image, Chen Yinger cried bitterly that she lost her voice, while everyone gathered around Long Haochen, who was lying on the ground. Caier squatted down slowly and looked at the blue ring on her finger. She gently took off the ring, pull up Long Haochens left hand and put it on his ring finger. Fool, why did you give it back to me? This belongs to you forever, just like my heart. Caiers voice was very small, but after magnifying the magical image, it could be heard clearly by everyone there. Just for a moment, they immediately and clearly felt the deep sadness in Caiers voice. The emotion that was more sorrowful than the death of the heart instantly attracted the hearts of every person. They stopped their discussion instantly and all were quietly looking at the film on the magic screen. Caier raised his hand and slowly took off the ne of Eternal Melody on long Haochens neck. The golden skull shone brightly in the magical image. When Caier wore the Eternal Melody around his neck, the people had the same question in their hearts: What is that? Lets go. Caiers voice sounded, and then the people saw a dazzling scene. The intense golden light shone from the ne of Eternal Melody, covered everyones body entirely, and the next moment, with the rise of the golden light, the image became blurred. In a series of twists, the scene changed to another setting ce. At this time, the narrators voice rang up. They teleport into another ne, the world of an artifact. The golden skeleton is called Eternal Melody, which is the key to the artifact. And the creator of this artifact is That was the end of the narration, and the picture became clear again. Caiers anxious voice sounded. Come out, youe out. Come on out! A green brilliance crept out silently from Long Haochens fine golden base armor, and the green brilliance then looked faint, like a wisp of smoke. A faint voice sounded in the green smoke. He is dead. My contract with him is also disappearing. All I can do is keep his soul alive for seven days. However, you only have seven days. The only chance to revive him is in this Tower of Eternity. Only when you get the inheritance of the master of this tower, with the secret meaning of the magic of the undead, is it possible to restore his soul and recast his heart. If he cane back to life, the contract I left with him will be restored. Otherwise, after seven days, his soul will disappear, and his soul will be imprisoned in the Tower of Eternity. So, if you cannot bring him back to life in seven days, take him out of here, at least so that his soul will not suffer. The sound came to an end, and the green clouds dispersed with it. T-That voice is Wang Yuanyuan said nkly. I know, I know. Its the little girl from the Dream Shrine. Yes, it must be her, Lin Xin jumped up and said. Han Yu grabbed Lin Xin by the shoulder and shouted excitedly, Yes! Its Ye Xiaolei! Its her! There is some kind of contractual rtionship between her and themander. Shes here to help us. Themander has a chance toe back to life. He has a chance. What shocked the public the most was what Han Yu said that themander had a chance toe back to life. People can be resurrected when they are dead? What is the secret meaning of the magic of the undead? What is a recasting heart? What is the inheritance of the Tower of Eternity? The fog made everyone a little dull. Who has a strong rope or chain? Caiers loud cry awakened the public from their thoughts. Then they saw the scene in which Caier, with the help of her friends, carried Long Haochens body on her back and tied it up with chains. Seeing this, many people felt as if they had something choking in their throats. Although many people knew that this hunter group had done a lot for the Union, it was only when they saw this magical film that they really realized how many difficulties this hunter group had experienced. Seven days We only have seven days. In seven days, we must climb to the top of the Tower of Eternity. I want to get the inheritance of the Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. Caiers manifestation sounded in the image, and a name was also imprinted in the hearts of the people, the Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. What kind of existence is he? Before the people had enough time to think, the picture changed again. Caier had begun to lead the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group to challenge the Tower of Eternity. Here, the plot and facts of the magic images had changed slightly, and in order to give people a better sense of substitution, this test began from the first level. The powerful Twelve Sacred Saints began to appear in the eyes of the people. Hunters fell one after another. By watching them sacrifice themselves to pave the way for Long Haochens resurrection, the public began to tear up. In order to revive theirmander, to revive Chairman Long Haochen, every hunter of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group had given out everything! In the eyes of ordinary people, ones life was the most precious thing, but their dedications were selfless. Sima Xian fell, Chen Yinger fell, and then Wang Yuanyuan fell. However, no matter how they fell, their eyes were full of persistency and hope. As the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group ascended towards the Tower of Eternity, the hearts of the people raised high, and many people were even crying. They held their breath and dared not even cry too much because they were afraid theyd missed any moment of the picture. On the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity, only Caier was left to fight. The sickle of death in her hand was held high, facing the most difficult test. Lin Xins voice became the narrator. Deputy Commander, this is to her power of death! Every time she uses this unique power, she loses her own sense. She The simple narration brought a more profound shock. Next, Caier was duty-bound to fight the Seven Deaths: the first, the Early Death, the second, the Purity of Death, the third, the Roar of Death, the fourth, the Kiss of Death, the fifth, the Fading Death, and the sixth was the Path of Death. The people witnessed with their own eyes what her power was. When Caier finally defeated her opponent by the virtue of her Seven Deaths power, the sixth, the Path of Death, there were tsunami-like cheers in the square outside the trial ground of the Holy City. More often weep for joy. But what they did not know was that their tears were just the beginning. Six colors of light appeared and healed the wounds of Long Haochen. Watching his injuries healed one by one, or even him being pulled back from his death line, the peoples anxious hearts had a strong sense of relief and rxation. Is it finally over? Are you going to revive Chairman Long Haochen? And then, a more brutal scene also unfolded: the road to heaven. One step at a time, the road to heaven leads to heaven. The narrator said, On the road to heaven, all forces will be suppressed, and Vice Chairman Caier will only have the power of ordinary girls. A very simple introduction, but immediately made the public understand what kind of pressure Caier experienced. Caiers pace was very stable. She took a step, kneeled, bowed down and then got up. One more step, one more kneel. Over and over again. People began to see sweat and blood stains. Two blood stains began to appear on the endless road to the sky, from shallow to deep. Gradually, the third blood stain from Caiers forehead also appeared. After all, the people were just ordinary people, and they were much more fragile than the hunters. The scene of tears and loss of voice of all the people in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group immediately turned the surrounding area of the Holy City into a sea of tears. Many people couldnt help themselves and just burst into tears. Level 50. Level 60. Level 70. :evel 80. Caier took each step with great difficulty as she was stumbling while walking upward. Her body had already begun to shake, and the blood stains left on the ground began to show liquid blood flowing down the stairs. Chapter 787 - Enter, The Place Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (I)

Chapter 787: Enter, The ce Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (I)

In the film Caier was close to copsing, but still kept climbing and climbing. Somehow, there seemed to be an unparalleled force supporting her body, which was bing more and more fragile. Bang On the 112th step, Caier suddenly fell down and hit the steps in front of her. However, her right hand ruthlessly carved onto the surface of thedder firmly, and her toes were on the lower steps to prevent herself from slipping down the stairs. The blood, stained red on the hem of her long skirt, slid down towards her feet. Caiers beautiful face was already covered with blood. Her body was trembling violently because she had suffered too much, but her eyes were still persistent and firm. Gasping violently, she merely moved up another step again. She was banging and kowtowing again. Stop. Voices rang out anonymously from the crowd. It immediately aroused the people that watched the film to cried out. She climbed and fell into aa. Then, she climbed again and fell ina all over again. Caier fell and got up again and again, and when she climbed the 200th step, her entire body was covered with blood. By this time, she had been ina for the seventh time on her way to heaven. Caiers knees had noplete flesh, with bones exposed, and her white, slender legs were always unconsciously cramping at this time. Her whole body showed a morbid pallor due to excessive blood loss. She was losing her life at an rming rate. However, she still could not see the end of the road to heaven. So far the image of Caier had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone who were watching it. The voice of the narrator sounded again. Vice Chairman Caier was in aa for several days during the climbing of the road to heaven. What the image reproduces is already a timepressed scene. This could no longer be described as a simple shock, and some of the more vulnerable female audience had passed out while crying hoarsely. Even the federal soldiers responsible for maintaining order had already burst into tears. For the first time, they knew that humans will could be so strong, and it was the first time that they had truly witnessed the suffering that the hunters had suffered. Just when the mood of the people was about to copse, a light door finally appeared on the way to the sky. When Caier made an all-out jump and finally integrated into the Door of Light, there was already a choking cheer outside the Holy League trial ground. The seventh floor of the dazzling Tower of Eternity appeared, and so did the sleeping coffin of Electrolux. For ordinary people, they were born with a strong fear of the undead. However, after previous violent emotional fluctuations, they were not so shocked when they saw Electrolux in the form of the undead again. Electrolux proposed that he needed a fresh heart to revive Long Haochen. When Caier turned her Sickle of Death into herself without hesitation, the scream almost overturned the Holy City. And when Electrolux proposed to Caier to test Long Haochen, almost all the people agreed. It was because they strongly questioned how Chairman Long Haochen deserved what Caier had done for him. Long Haochen woke up and faced the test of Electrolux. When he said he was willing to give up his faith in order to save Caier, the blood of the whole audience was boiling. They finally knew that it was not only Caier who felt so passionate about love but their federal president also felt the same. It was because the people they loved most were willing to give up beliefs that were more precious than life. At this moment, the status of Caier and Long Haochen in their hearts had been sublimated to an indescribable height. Did faith and the undead matter? No, in front of this sincere love, everything seemed to be small. Especially when Electrolux said, Youve won, the cheers of the audience broke out again. The role of the magic image hadpletely exceeded the original conjecture of Li Zhengzhi of the Magic Temple, and itpletely exceeded the imagination of all the initiators of this incident. Unexpectedly, the people went almost crazy for this magic image, they were shouting the names of Long Haochen and Caier, while releasing their emotions heartily. With the previous groundwork, Electrolux would be much more eptable to the public if he were to tell his story. Electroluxs tragic experiences, and his final awakening and self-purification under the awakening of Long Haochen and Caier, finally deeply shocked the minds of the people. At the end of the image, Electrolux shouted, Holding the sun and moon to pick the stars, there is no one like me in the world, with a shocking passion. At this time, the night gradually darkened, but none of the people had left. After a brief silence and calm, the three names of Long Haochen, Caier, and Light Dawn Demon Hunter group became their slogans. One sleepless night of the Holy City. Zhennanguan. It was noon, and it was time for lunch. In an inconspicuous hotel, the heated discussion made the hotel sounded very noisy. Still going tonight? No, Im not going. A woman shook her head forcefully and rejected the proposal of the man at the same table. Why dont you go? Its only for ten days. If you dont look at it, you wont be able to see it. I cant go any more. If I go again, I will cry blindly. Vice Chairman Caier is so pitiful. The devils are so hateful. If it were not for my poor qualifications, I would have joined the army and fought against the enemy. Dont say youre a woman. Even I, a big man, have watched once and cried once! Its so touching. No wonder the chairman and vice-chairman were able to do so many things at a young age. We cant imagine what other people have been through! True. The scourge of the undead, Electrolux, is also quite pitiful. So, the powerful necromancer ispletely forced by reality. Yes, who can be infallible? In the end, didnt he already repent? And was purified by the vice chairman Caier. After seeing this film, I know that the undead can also have thoughts and wisdom, and not just all about killing! Simr topics were almost everywhere in the streets of Zhennanguan. The magic film was immediately transmitted to the Temple of the Federal, the Holy City and six major fortresses for broadcast. Other ind cities were still in the process of transporting magic screens. After all, there were limited numbers of magic screens, and there were only a few cities that had the required conditions to release the film. After the first wave of the Holy City and the six fortresses, the magic screens of these seven cities would also be removed and sent to ind cities. There had never been such an influential event in the history of the Union, or in the history of all mankind. By word of mouth, the image of Caier and Long Haochen gradually changed. They be the idols of all people, and the citizens beliefs changed so much so thatter, Long Haochen discussed with the congressmen and banned the release of images in the Federation. However, his deeds with Caier and the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group had already affected the entire generations of the Union. While Long Haochen and Caier became idols, they had quietlye to the Knights Holy Mountain apanied by Yang Haohan. This was the third time that Long Haochen hade to the Knights Holy Mountain, and he had great feelings for this sacred ce of knights. The first time he came here, he took Hao Yue with him, and the second time he came here, he took away the Star King. More than ten years had passed, and he had grown from an ignorant teenager to a federal president. He had experienced a lot, paid a lot efforts, and gained a lot. There was still about a kilometer away from the light fog shrouding the Knights Holy Mountain, and the rich bright aura of the Knights Holy Mountain began to surge, and the golden light fog unexpectedly drifted out of control in the direction of Long Haochen and the other two men. What Long Haochen felt was a strong sense of closeness, and the light elements contained in the pale golden fog rushed towards him as if a child had found his home. Raising his left hand, there was a faint smile on Long Haochens face, and the soft light element began to circle around his body. In the whole process, he did not release any of his own strength, everything was formed naturally. Yang Haohan, who was also a strong son of light and a Sealed Divine Knight, could not help but sigh secretly when he saw this scene. Long Haochen had indeed practiced the spiritual powers of the light to the extreme! Even the light element treated him as its source. Long Haochen suddenly looked up and looked into the depths of the light and fog. Suddenly, the light fog in front of him was dispersed by itself, like a soldier obeying orders, and made a way. Three old men with physical disabilities wereing towards them quickly. For the dispersion of light and fog, the three old men were immediately surprised, as this was the first time they had encountered such a scene. However, when they saw Yang Haohan, they felt relieved. However, what surprised them even more was that it was not Sealed Divine Knight of Defense and Coordination, but the young man around him that triggered the light and fog of the Knights Holy Mountain. The Knights Holy Mountain was almost an isted ce. Although several elders here had already seen Long Haochen, still only few had met him. At least this was the first time that all three had seen him. Lord Yang. The three elders approached and saluted Yang Haohan at the same time. Yang Haohan and Long Haochen responded with chivalry etiquette at the same time. Thank you foring all the way here. Please lead us to the Sealed Cave, Yang Haohan said as he took out a token. The token in his hand was carved out from a whole piece of golden gemstone, with many runes of ancient elves on it. Seeing this token, the three elders bowed over and over again. They then walked forward, surrounded Long Haochen in the center, and each took out a golden token. Chapter 788 - Enter, The Place Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (II)

Chapter 788: Enter, The ce Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (II)

The golden light shed. Each golden token was inspired by the elders to release six runes, and a total of 18 runes of the three tokens appeared in the air, quickly blooming around the crowd. Then a huge golden whirlpool surrounded all six people. In the violent surge of the light fog, they quickly disappeared. Now Long Haochen was already different from that time, and he could feel that there was a very powerful legal array in the whole area of the Knights Holy Mountain. It could be said that the whole Knights Holy Mountain was built because of the legal array. If one wanted to know the secret here, one must be familiar with the legal array or be guided by someone here. A golden light converged, and they appeared in another ce, and it was also a ce where Long Haochen felt familiar. This was in a cave, the walls of the cave, iid with pieces of golden light gems. The faint golden light illuminated everything here. The light element in the cave was not strong, far less than in the Knights Holy Mountain, but slightly stronger than that of the outside world. The cave was so huge that if one looked up, the top of the cave was at least twenty feet from the ground. The whole cave was irregrly round, with a diameter of at least more than a hundred feet, just like a huge square. There were trapezoidalttices on the ground, which were closely linked to each other and formed huge rings that converged towards the center of the underground square. In each grid, there was a dim ancient elf rune. Seeing this, Long Haochen finally remembered what this ce was, and this was when the legal array transported him so that he could find the cave of Hao Yue. He didnt expect to be here again this time. Yang Haohan nodded to the three elders and said, Thank you for leading the way. Please wait. Yes. The three elders respectfully saluted to Yang Haohan. Yang Haohan walked up to Long Haochen and said, Haochen, only one person can go into the Sealed Cave at a time. Caier and I will stay here and wait for you. Those predecessors have a wealth of experience and have slept here for thousands of years, so they will inevitably be a little strange in character. You should be careful. If you cant handle the situation, use your psychic power to stimte the token in your hand, and you will be sent back here. As he spoke, he handed the token carved with golden gems to Long Haochen. Long Haochen took the token, nodded to Yang Haohan, and then walked towards the center of the underground square. There was a circle about three feet in diameter, with thergest symbol in the center. However, when he was just about to start, he was stopped by the three elders who led the way. One of the elders hesitantly said to Yang Haohan, Lord Yang, this does not seem to be in line with the rules. Only you can enter the Sealed Cave. this is Yang Haohan smiled and said, I forgot to introduce to you all. This is Long Haochen, the new Sealed Divine knight of our Knight Temple. He has won the recognition of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and has been honored by the temple as the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership. He is also the head of the six Sealed Divine Knights in our Knight Temple. He will be in charge of the Holy Mountains order from now on. The three elders were surprised at the same time and how their expression when looking at Long Haochen suddenly changed. They were all old people in the Knight Temple, and therefore they knew what the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation meant. Seeing the three elders so surprised, Long Haochen smiled and his soft spiritual power came out of his body, went towards the three elders and enveloped them. The pure light element made the three elders shuddered, and the next moment, indescribablefort spread to every corner of their body. Even their mutted limbs were no exception. Their respective spiritual powers surged like boiling, and after just a few breaths, their spiritual powers increased to a magnitude that could not be improved even after months of practice. At this point, the three elders had no doubt. Although their hearts were still full of shock, they quickly stepped aside and respectfully saluted to Long Haochen. Long Haochen came to the huge symbol in the center with Holy Mountains order in his hand. Eyes slowly closed, he quietly felt everything around. When he was closing his eyes, his mental power immediately spread. Whether it was Yang Haohan, Caier or the three elders, they all felt that their consciousness was blurred for a moment. This time, even Yang Haohans face could not help but give a look of shock. What a powerful mental strength! In this array of Knights Holy Mountain, even if the God of Devils were toe here, it would be impossible for his mental power to detect the interior of the Holy Mountain clearly. The Holy Mountains array contained extremely strong elements of light, and at the same time, there were thousands of wonderful methods. Many mysteries belonged to the ancient elves. Even the Knight Temple, as the direct controller of the Knights Holy Mountain, could not fully understand the mysteries of this great array. However, Long Haochens mental strength was not blocked at all here, and in a moment, it covered the whole Knights Holy Mountain. As the owner of the Light Gods constitution and the Light God domain user, how could any dharma array with light attribute be resistant to him? It was like a girl with apletely open heart and let him fully explore. Soon, Long Haochen felt everything he wanted to know. After carefully observing things around, he found that the Knights Holy Mountain itself was made up of nine light legal arrays. It was divided into one core legal array and eight peripheral legal arrays. These nine legal formations formed a brand-newrge array. Theplexity of the arrangement of the legal array was the only thing he had ever seen in his life. Moreover, this legal array had a very strong limiting effect. Even if the level-ninth strongman entered rashly, they would still suffer a great loss in this legal array. There were many light warcrafts living in the Knights Holy Mountain, which was also the source for the Knight Temples young knights to get their mounts. However, the real mystery of this Knights Holy Mountainy in the interior of the mountain. The position they were in at this time was the position of the eyes at the core of the nine legal arrays. If one wanted to control theunch of the Knights Holy Mountain, one needed to do it here. And the Holy Mountains order in his hands was to open the full power of the legal array, in other words, it was the key to the prohibition. Holding the Holy Mountains order above his head, Long Haochen slowly injected his spiritual power into it. As soon as the pure spiritual power entered the Holy Mountains order, the golden light bloomed instantly. The Holy Mountains order seemed to make a slight hum, and then all nine arrays in the Knights Holy Mountain responded. A circle of golden ripples spread from the feet of Long Haochen, igniting the ancient elf runes one by one. In just a few breaths, all the ancient elf runes at the core of the Knights Holy Mountain were already shining. The runes seemed toe alive, and as the golden glow began to flow, some circles of golden runes rotated clockwise or counterclockwise. And around the Holy Mountains order inside Long Haochens hands, golden runes began to appear and were suspended in the air. Yang Haohan told Long Haochen before he came here that when he opened the Holy Mountains order, he would instantly know how to enter the Sealed Cave. Long Haochen had a feeling. Several kinds of auras transmitted to him by the Holy Mountains order were different, with defense opening, killing opening, and thest one, the path to the Land of the Sealed ce. When the Holy Mountains order got triggered. A strong golden pir of light suddenly burst from the foot of Long Haochen and instantly connected to the top of the cave, while the body of Long Haochen waspletely covered by the golden pir of light. The thick light element had reached an almost substantive level, and even Caier, who had the power of purification, felt a kind of difficultg here. In order to arouse the Knights Holy Mountain, it was not only necessary to have the Holy Mountains order, but also to have a strong enough ability of light attribute. Any other attribute would not seed. If a dark attribute had stolen the Holy Mountains order ande here, then there were only two endings. One was that he was strong enough to escape, and the other more likely ending was to be hanged here by the element of light. The golden pir of lightsted for about 30 seconds before it slowly disappeared. When the golden pir fell, Long Haochens body also disappeared. Covered by rich light elements, the distance between the space was very close. Long Haochen, through his previous exploration, actually knew the specific location of the Sealed Cave clearly, but this position waspletely suppressed by the array of the Knights Holy Mountain, and there was no Holy Mountains order at that time. Even with his practice level, he also wasnt sure if he could break through and enter. This ce was just below the Knights Holy Mountain. The golden color around him gradually faded away, and the first thing Long Haochen felt was gloom and coldness. With his practice level, he still felt cold, which proved how strong it was, and it was definitely not just a change in temperature. Everything around him became clearer, and what appeared in front of Long Haochen was a corridor paved with green bricks. Darkness covered all the surrounding. Long Haochen emitted a touch of golden light himself which could illuminate a few meters around him. The air in the corridor was very impure. And that gloomy and cold air wasing from the front. As soon as Long Haochen raised his hand, the soft white me was lit. The fingertips flicked lightly, and a little white me floated forward. Despite the fact that the spark was not big, where it passed, all the filth in the air was instantly burnt clean. As for whether the air was enough to breathe, it didnt matter to him. He just didnt like the impurity. At the same time, in the light of the white me, he also saw things ahead clearly. The corridor nted downwards, so the white me fell directly on the wall of the cave in front of it. However, it did not go out like an oilmp burning on the wall of the cave. It also did not burn out the green stone brick. Long Haochen walked forward with the light from the me, and the Holy Mountains order in his hands also exuded a faint golden light, which could light the way up. Chapter 789 - Enter, The Place Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (III)

Chapter 789: Enter, The ce Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (III)

This corridor was longer than Long Haochen had imagined. The more he walked forward, the more he could feel the cold aura, so much so that the psychic power in his body was stimted to protect himself. The warm aura spread in his chest, and a thick warmth spread all over his body with the aura of life, and after walking around, Long Haochen no longer felt cold. There was a smile on his face, which was the power of Ye Xiaolei. Since Ye Xiaolei merged with him and became his wisdom furnace, she fell into a deep sleep. And Long Haochen also clearly felt the change of his body in the process of the fusion with Ye Xiaolei. When he felt a new heart growing under the energy of the Heart of Eternity, he suddenly realized that the original Heart of Eternity did not really bring him back to life. Perhaps, the Heart of Eternity could always support him to live, but he could not be regarded as a real person without a heart. In a sense, there was nothing wrong with him to be called as undead. He was just a special undead with the domain of Light God. However, when the heart grew out, Long Haochen clearly felt the perfect fusion of the Ye Xiaoleis power and the Heart of Eternity, making him not only have a new heart, but this heart was also more powerful than the one before. What made him wonder that his heart had evolved, but the increase of spiritual power brought to him by the Heart of Eternity had disappeared. His inner powers were now about 560,000. This did not include the 90,000 spiritual powers originally added by the Heart of Eternity. The coldness could not affect him so Long Haochen began to pace up. Indeed, he did not regard these Eternal Heroes as a threat, not only because he trusted his ancestors, but also because of his confidence in himself. By virtue of his own cultivation, coupled with the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and Hao Yue, even if facing the God of Devils, he would still have the confidence. It was nearly three hundred meters downhill before the corridor came to an end. An arched gate appeared in front of Long Haochen. The door was a double-open door, with many characters carved on it. If one were to look at it carefully, one could paint the scene of the war between mankind and the Devils n. And there were two words written on the gate: Eternal Heroes. On the stone door, many traces had been mottled. It had been there for a really long time. Despite the excellent materials, the years still left a clear mark. In order to protect the Alliance, these Eternal Heroes had been sleeping here for six thousand years. Even if they were always in a deep sleep, they might wake up sometimes. They suffered from darkness and loneliness here. Compared to them, what we suffered before was nothing. Thinking about this, Long Haochen could not help but make a deep bow to the four big characters of Eternal Heroes on the stone gate. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, he must correct the names of these 63 Eternal Heroes. When he stood up straight again, he slowly embedded the Holy Mountains order in his hand into the only depression on the stone gate. When looking closely, he could not help but praise the craftsmans exquisite craftsmanship. Ding A crisp and melodious voice rang up, like the sound of knocking on a bottle made of magic crystal; the sweet sound reverberated throughout the entire corridor, and the strange feeling made Long Haochens mind clear. Then, the two stone doors began to give off a faint luster, but the Holy Mountains order was still golden. The stone door slid quietly to both sides. The thickness of the stone gate was more than one meter. They had existed here for thousands of years, but they still opened so smoothly. There was no doubt that these two stone doors were not only exquisitely made, but also inscribed with magic array inside. The cold aura, at least ten times colder than before, poured towards Long Haochen and it instantly impacted his body. Surprisingly, the air inside was not impure, just extremely cold. The cold aura even made the breath of Long Haochen turned into ice. In front was a dark cave, no matter how high Long Haochen was, it was impossible to see anything in that absolutely dark ce without any lighting. However, this time he did not light the me of light. Instead, he bowed respectfully again and said, Knight Temple, Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, Long Haochen, here to pay respect to the ancestors. He did not step into the dark cave. However, his voice was full of heartfelt reverence. Long Haochens voice echoed inside the caves and the corridors, perhaps because it was too airtight that the echo continued for a long time. Long Haochen just bent over and had no intention of changing his posture at all. He maintained a respectful posture steadily and quietly. These ancestors, who paid the price of their lives for the Alliance and then endured six thousand years of solitude, were definitely worth to pay respect for. Although I am curious about why a young man hase to here, your respectful attitude twice made me like you. A strange voice came from the grotto. It sounded stiff, and when speaking, there was a slight pause every two or three words, which sounded very strange. Long Haochen slowly straightened up, hammered his left chest with his right fist, and made a knights salute again. The ancestors paid a lot for the Alliance and for mankind, and the respect of the younger generation is due. The stiff voice sounded again. You said just now, you are the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership. Where is that little doll named Yang Haohan? He seems to be about a hundred years old. Is he already dead at the hands of the devils? If I remember correctly, he should be the Sealed Divine Knight of Defense and Coordination. Long Haochen said, Lord Yang is not dead, but he has given me the qualifications tomunicate with his predecessors. The voice was a little deep. It seems that something has happened to the Alliance. For the first time, the Knight Temple has a title called the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, which has never been heard of before. There is another special case in which people pass on the news of our existence before they die. Come on, what do you want bying here this time? Yeah, wait a minute. Before you do that, you have to prove to me that you truly are the Sealed Divine Knight. Judging from your exuberant aura of life, it should be in the prime of life. Does it mean that there is an unprecedented genius in the Knight Temple? Long Haochen respectfully said, The younger generations name is Long Haochen, and he will be 26 years old in three months. What I have inherited is the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. What? The stiff voice suddenly became high-pitched. Then, long Haochen felt a tremendous pressureing. The pressure was not to push him out, but to pull in. However, Long Haochen stood there motionless and did not even release his spiritual power from the body. Scratch, scratch Some strange voices sounded, and a faint green me lit up not far in front of Long Haochen. The me burning was not exuberant. However, in this extremely dark ce, when suddenly there was a light, Long Haochen got a little surprised. The green me appeared in the hands of a man who was two meters tall andnky. He was wearing a tattered gray robe, revealing his iron-gray skin here and there. His eyes twirled stiffly, and there was a faint gray glow. This was not a person, to be exact, it should be a zombie, but his body was well preserved and there was no ce that became rotten. He slowly came to Long Haochen, and the scratching sound was exactly what he made when he was walking. His movements were so stiff that he could no longer bend his knees and he walked very slowly. However, in Long Haochens perception, the zombie was full of danger. And his perceptual judgment as based on his own practice. In terms of age, as a result of bing a zombie, he still looked like the person he was when he died, about 50 or 60 years old. He didnt look too old. Ordinary people would have screamed in horror when they saw a lifeless zombie in this dark cave. However, when Long Haochen saw him, his face became more and more respectful. How do you do? Long Haochen saluted respectfully. The zombie said, Let me see the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, in a tone full of excitement. Long Haochen hesitated for a moment and said, It doesnt seem appropriate here. Im afraid it will affect the sleep of other ancestors. It may even hurt them. The light elements of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation were indeed very powerful. If the power of the Imperial Weapon was shown here, the Eternal Heroes were likely get hurt directly, even though they were powerful. However, the zombie smiled. Gah. Young man, do you think the power of light will hurt us? Although I hate the way I am now, I have to say that the necromancer who made that Reincarnation Scroll was the first genius that I knew. His Reincarnation Scroll not only turned us into the undead, but also retained the attributes of our abilities when we were alive. Do you think that, as the builders of the first generation of the six temples, some of us would have the attribute of darkness? Long Haochen once again learned about the power of Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. No wonder that Reincarnation Scroll was called a super forbidden spell! In that case, please be careful. Long Haochen took a few steps back, and his eyes lit up. There was a soft golden glow in his clear eyes, and then a sacred aura full of majesty spread from him. The huge light and shadow bloomed behind Long Haochen, but in this narrow corridor, the light and shadow of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation could not be fully stretched out. Chapter 790 - Test Or Teach? (I)

Chapter 790: Test Or Teach? (I)

The golden light fog inside the Knights Holy Mountain began to surge violently, and their drastic changes immediately shocked all the elders in this Holy Mountain. What surprised them even more was that the violently surging fog of light rose slowly into the sky and began to hover in a clockwise direction, and after a while, a huge golden whirlpool formed. The area within the Knights Holy Mountains reach was quite vast, and the golden whirlpool in the air was almost equal to this vast area. It was indeed veryrge. Even if one looked at it from the Knight Temple at Yu Longguan, one still could see this magical scene. The milky pir of light rose from the core of the Knights Holy Mountain, and then, in the divine atmosphere of majesty, the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation emerged out of thin air, blooming with the brilliance of its Imperial weapon against the golden whirlpool. A huge throne appeared in the void, and the glittering white throne itself released magnificent nine-colors light. On the back of the throne, the subtle reliefs gave people an indescribable sense of beauty. At the top, there were the sun, the moon and the stars, and the middle was the creatures of birds and animals, and what was attached to the throne was the scene of nature. A pair of thrones armrests were the Sacred Dragon statues and twelve-winged angels. The circle of nine-colors glow released by the throne was so dazzling. Under the influence of its aura, the golden light mist became pure and transparent. Long Haochens eyes shone with gold, and his hands pulled toward the void. Ding A melodious crisp sound spread across thousands of miles, and the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation split in the air. It split into a 13-regiment of white glows that swoop down, straight into the Knights Holy Mountain. In front of the Eternal Hero zombie, the scene that made the fire of his soul beat violently, was the scene of thirteen groups of white light sessivelynded on Long Haochen, which were the thirteen Eternal Stars. The huge transparent gems on his chest, the magnificent nine-treasure crown on the top of his head, the glittering white mask with golden jewel eyes, the huge bibcock on his left shoulder, the twelve-winged angels on his right shoulder, and the white supreme armor covered his whole body. When they all covered the body of Long Haochen, at that moment, the temperament of Long Haochen had undergone earth-shaking changes. In the whole cave, the cold aura was swept away, and only a touch of warmth pervaded it. It was at this time that powerful psychic waves awakened inside the cave. Pairs of eyes flickering with the fire of different colors slowly opened. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations aura awakened the Eternal Heroes who had given their lives for mankind. The zombie who had previously talked to Long Haochen waspletely speechless at this time, his body was trembling out of control. When he looked at Long Haochen, the fire of his soul had beenpletely reced by excitement. Thirteen regiments! Thirteen regiments! Yes, this really is the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation! God, you still care for us human beings after all! Finally, this day hase. Ive waited so long. The day when someone win the recognition of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation finallye. Shadows began to appear behind him, and the fire of the soul gradually turned from daze to fiery. They obviously heard the words of the first Eternal Hero, but also saw with their own eyes the Eternal Armor of Long Haochen. A total of 63 souls of fire, all immersed in heat and excitement. Green, colorful, clear and white. Three light groups revolved around Long Haochen slowly. Long Haochen carried the Sword of Eternity behind him and embedded it between his huge wings. Due to the Eternal Armor, the aisle had be very narrow, and his figure had be much taller. In particr, his pair of wings touched the stone walls on both sides directly. Come in, son. Come on in. The zombie, the Eternal Hero who hadmunicated with Long Haochen earlier, waved eagerly to him. Long Haochen shed into the cave. The cold aura inside the cave had beenpletely covered by the aura of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. When he entered the cave, the cave waspletely illuminated. It was like the sun came into this dark world. Long Haochen saw the situation in the cave clearly. He felt his heart ache. In this cave that 63 Eternal Heroes were asleep, there were only 63 stone coffins. Apart from that, there was nothing else. The hollow and hidden aura in the cave was emitted from the ground, and although it had been suppressed by the aura of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Long Haochen could still feel it. The heroes who had paid everything for mankind actually slept in such a ce, and Long Haochen felt strangely angry. He did not speak, the lips behind the mask closed tightly, looking at the zombies, the wings behind him slowly spread out. Gentlemen, my name is Long Haochen. On behalf of the Temple Federation, Ivee to confess to all of you. As he spoke, wearing the Eternal Armor of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he went so far as to get down on his knees and bow down to the 63 undead creatures in front of him. The glittering white Eternal Armor looked so sacred, and the Eternal Crown on his head was even more magnificent. And at this moment, he was bowing down to the 63 ancestors. This worship did not only represent himself, but for all mankind of the Union. Long Haochens worship shocked all the Eternal Heroes. They looked at each other, and the heat in the fire of their souls gradually died down and was reced by iprehension and a slight emotion. The master of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation even bowed down to them, he was Son, what are you doing? Get up, the first Eternal Hero zombie said hurriedly. He wanted toe forward to help him stand up, but he felt the divine majesty on the Eternal Armor, so he could only make an empty gesture after all. Long Haochen slowly raised his head, but he was still kneeling there, the mask on his face bounced up, and tears shed in his eyes. Ancestors and predecessors. You deserve my worship. All of you should be worshipped by all living humans of the Union. Six thousand years ago, you drove out the demons at the cost of your own lives. In order to protect the Union, you did not hesitate to be undead and slept silently in this cold crypt for six thousand years. Although I dont know who made such a decision in the first ce. But as the new federal president, I will never let this situation continue. You deserve much more than this! As he spoke, he bowed down again and kowtowed three times on the ground. Only then did the 63 Eternal Heroes understood what Long Haochen meant. For a moment, they all calmed down. A female voice sounded. This child is so simple and cute. Didnt the man who gave you the key to enter here tell you that we stayed here voluntarily? And theyout here is also what we asked for. Ah? Long Haochen was stupefied as he looked up, and he immediately felt a smile from all the 63 Eternal Heroes. Silly boy, get up. The Eternal Hero who was the first to talk to Long Haochen,ughed. Although the muscles on his face would not move, the emotion of these Eternal Heroes could be clearly felt. Although Long Haochen made a silly mistake, he also moved these ancestors with his true feelings. Long Haochen just stood up and said awkwardly, I thought What did you think? Do you think weve beenpletely abandoned? The previous female voice sounded again, and an Eternal Hero came out. When she walked out, others obviously made a way for her, and she must have had a high position among these Eternal Heroes. Although she had be a zombie, the beauty of this woman when she was alive still could be seen. Her face was not iron gray like most Eternal Heroes, but it was pale, extremely pale. Her skin appeared to be much more stic, but her blood-red eyes looked very scary. This is not only a crypt at the foot of the Knights Holy Mountain, but also above an ice spring. We have to make use of the cold here so that our bodies will not decay before they are soaked by spiritual power. There are small holes in each coffin that connected to the spring, giving off the cold. Otherwise, if you see us, we will not be a bunch of zombies, but a group of skeletons. As for other external objects, what is the use of it for us dead people? However, weter found that the coldness of this ice spring can also boost our strength and stabilize the fire of our souls, which is not easy to extinguish. Thats what keeps us alive. Although we are stilling to an end, we have held on for a little longer. It was only then that Long Haochen understood the secret of this ce. My name is Shu Yongxiao, and I am the leader of these 63 people. Thest time someone came, it was 30 years ago. At that time, the little guy named Yang Haohan came here instead of the original master of the temple. Tell us what has happened outside in the past 30 years. At this time, the Eternal Heroes had gathered around Long Haochen, and most of them were already fond of this young man who had inherited the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Although Long Haochens made a silly mistake, it could be recognized rather than excluded, and these newly awakened ancestors were naturally in a good mood. Long Haochen nodded and exined in as much detail as possible what he knew had happened to the Temple Alliance over the past 20 years. In particr, he gave a detailed ount of the previous Holy War and the establishment of the new Temple Federation not long ago. Chapter 791 - Test Or Teach? (II)

Chapter 791: Test Or Teach? (II)

During this period, Shu Yongxiao asked several questions, and Long Haochen answered them one by one. Only then did he know that although these ancestors were sleeping here, they still knew something about the major events that had happened on the maind in the past 6,000 years. It was because every few decades, the master of the Knight Temple, who controlled the Holy Mountains order, woulde here to bring them news from the outside. Well, what a Temple Federation. Its a sess atst. Its a pity that we cant get out of here easily, otherwise I would have gone to trouble those little guys. To strengthen the Alliance at the expense of self-interest. Finally, its not toote for them to wake up. Shu Yongxiao was unexpectedly very supportive of the establishment of the new federation, and ording to her, she seemed to have put forward simr opinions 30 years ago when Yang Haohan came here. At this time, an old man came to Shu Yongxiao and said to Long Haochen, Son, you just said that there are now six Sealed Divine Knights in the Knight Temple, right? Long Haochen nodded and said, Yes, the Knight Temple is full of talented men now, and it should be at its strongest level ever. Six Sealed Divine Thrones, including me, have their masters. Good, thats great. The old mans emotion was obviously a little excited. At the beginning, I immediately sent Hongyuan when I decided to concentrate the efforts of all mankind to create five Sealed Divine Thrones. When one day mankind can fully control the six Sealed Divine Thrones, it would be a good opportunity for us to counter-attack the Devils n. It seems that God has treated us well! At a time when the fire of our souls is about to dissipate, it brings this good news to us. So that we can witness the human counteroffensive at thest minute, it is not in vain that we have been sleeping beneath the ground, waiting for 6,000 years. Shu Yongxiao introduced to Long Haochen, This is Xiao Huo Xiao Lao. When the Temple Alliance was founded, he was the first master of the Knight Temple, and he decided to create five Sealed Divine Thrones. It can be said that he is the true ancestor of your Knight Temple. Xiao is far-sighted, and many of his original decisions have been fulfilledter. Long Haochen hurriedly and respectfully saluted, Long Haochen here to pay respect to the ancestors. Xiao Huo said in a deep voice, Son, I want to hear about you growing up. I witnessed with my own eyes the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, and I witnessed ite to earth. At that time, I said that the existence of this Imperial Weapon means that God has not abandoned us as human beings. However, I have always been unable to figure out what kind of strong person can be recognized by it. I even thought that its existence has more symbolic meaning than practical significance. Unexpectedly, one day a knight was able to be its master. I am very curious about your growing experience, and also curious about the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creations recognition process. Up to now, Long Haochen had not yet proposed to invite these Eternal Heroes toe out of the mountain. These were the real heroes of mankind and the ancestors of the six temples. Yang Haohan told him before he came. We must first get the recognition of these Eternal Heroes before asking them toe out of the mountain. They had been sleeping here for six thousand years, and no one knew what they think ofing out of the mountain. At the same time they could be very moody and even impersonal. From Yang Haohans words, Long Haochen realized that the masters of the Knight Temple had suffered losses in front of these Eternal Heroes before. Yang Haohan did not say the details, but he always faced these ancestors with caution. Until now, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with these Eternal Heroes. In fact, what he didnt know was that his attitude yed a big role. He was different from the masters of the Knights Temple who came here before. If they could be the Sealed Divine Knight of the Knight Temple and had control of the Holy Mountains order, they had to be at least over 50 or 60 years old. Moreover, in the process of growing up, the authority also grew, which naturally produced the temperament and mentality of the superior. When they came here, they listened to the Eternal Heroes and shouted, sometimes even reprimanding them impolitely. There would be some rejection in their hearts. No matter how respectful the attitude was, there was no time like Long Haochen that set his posture so low. Long Haochen was different. He was already young and only in his twenties. Although he was already in charge of the Temple Union, he did not have much desire for power. Nor did he give orders. And then there was his heartfelt admiration for these Eternal Heroes. Therefore, the sincerity in attitude could be said to surpass all the chivalry temple masters who hade here in the past. Naturally, these Eternal Heroes were very fond of him. Yes. Respectfully agreed, Long Haochen began to talk about the process of him growing up. He said in great detail how his father began to teach him, how he improved his strength step by step, how he became a hunter, which lead to the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group that built meritorious deeds step by step, and to make continuous breakthroughs in strength under many kinds of opportunities. Even the secret of the Tower of Eternity was not hidden and was fully told. When he said that he died in battle and Caier brought him back to life in the Tower of Eternity, these Eternal Heroes who had lived for more than 6,000 years was moved. Especially when they heard the story of Electrolux, the feeling was much greater than that of the people who saw the images in the Union. After all, the age in which they once lived was very close to the Electroluxs era. Hearing with their own ears how Electrolux became the process and cause of the natural disaster of the undead, how could these ancestors not feel sorry for it? Long Haochen also made no secret of the process that the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation recognized him. He described the process in great detail. He described how he turned defeat into victory, especially the battle to break through the Eternal Angel. Son of light! What a son of light! My old bones havent moved for a long time. Young man, how about a little practice with me? What Long Haochen did not expect was that when he had finished telling the whole story, Xiao Huo unexpectedly offered to have a round with him. Long Haochen subconsciously thought that this was a test for him by his predecessors, and therefore he did not flinch. After respectfully saluting Xiao Huo, he said, Please. Other Eternal Heroes slowly retreated to make room for Long Haochen and Xiao Huo. Although theyout of the cave was simple, it was quiterge in area, at least one third in size Holy League Trial ground. This area was certainly not enough for someone as strong as Long Haochen and Xiao Huo. However, since they were only ying with each other, they would naturally limit their strength, so they would not destroy the ce. Long Haochen did not pull out his Sword of Eternity behind his back, and his hands were on the left and right side of his body, each condensing a huge golden sword, which was almost the same size as the Sword of Eternity. Watching the young mans kind behavior, the Eternal Heroes who watched the game could not help but nodded. Xiao Huos figure was very tall, but also appeared to be very stiff, when he and Long Haochen faced, Long Haochen immediately felt as if he was under big pressure.. Is this pressure from the soul? Long Haochen was greatly surprised. His spiritual power had been enhanced to an extremely powerful level after the fusion of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation with Ye Xiaolei. Even if he couldntpete with the God of Devils, he was definitely the first human being to reach this level. However, when facing Xiao Huo, his mental strength did not have the upper hand, but instead it was suppressed. However, Long Haochen was still Long Haochen after all. After a brief surprise, he had understood. The power of the soul of Xiao Huo was not necessarily stronger than that of him, but the purity of the fire of his soul left no impurities in his soul, and the power of the soul was the core strength of the undead. That was what puts him at a sensory disadvantage. However, Xiao Huo couldnt do any harm to him with the power of his soul alone. At this time, Xiao Huos dim eyes suddenly lit up, like two sudden clusters of starlight; it was clear and bright gold. Long Haochen was shocked to find that in terms of purity of light attribute, this Knight Temples ancestor was not inferior to him in any ways. What shocked him even more was that while Xiao Huos eyes lit up, there was also a mass of golden light on his chest, and the color of the golden light was even brighter. Then a golden liquid flowed out from his chest and quickly covered his whole body. This was The golden liquid was thick and bright, and where the golden color passed, all the aura of the undead waspletely covered up. The pure and powerful aura of light burst out from him like a blowout, and under the action of the golden liquid, Xiao Huo emitted a faint golden mist all over his body. Liquid psychic power release? Long Haochen did not know what practice level it would take to be able to use this power, but he knew that he could not do it with his current practice level of level nine of rank five. He could instantly shape his spiritual power in vitro, and condense it into armor, just like the two swords inside his hands. However, such a liquid flow, he could never do. Even if it was a simtion, he never felt so real. The golden liquid soon flowed all over Xiao Huos body, and he instantly became a golden man. Then, the liquid began to have a shaping effect. A simple and unadorned golden armor wrapped around Xiao Huo. Fine Gold-Based Armor! Long Haochen suddenly understood why he had such a strong sense of familiarity when he looked at the armor, because Xiao Huos armor condensed by himself with liquid psychic power which had many simrities with the fine gold-based armor. There was no doubt that the existence of the fine gold-based armor might have had something to do with this ancestor. Chapter 792 - Test Or Teach? (III)

Chapter 792: Test Or Teach? (III)

Liquid flow, the same two golden swords appeared in Xiao Huos hands. Compared with the two swords condensed by the spiritual power of Long Haochen, Xiao Huos double swords were dark and golden, and the aura waspletely introverted. At the same time, even the bright aura released from his body waspletely out of sight, as if it was only a body of metal armor, which had nothing to do with spiritual power. However, Long Haochens clearly felt that Xiao Huo had be more frightening. He even felt a little bit like when he faced the God of Devils for the first time. The power of this ancestor seemed to be higher than that of the Knight of Judgement! You have to give it the best youve got. Xiao Huos voice sounded in Long Haochens ear, and then he started to move. Although he was an ancestor, he did not intend to be modest. A sh of golden light appeared and the two swords in his hands uniformly cross-chopped. The dark golden light crossed in front of Long Haochen almost instantly. Long Haochen was so experienced inbat that he reacted immediately the moment Xiao Huos body moved. His left foot retreated half a step, while the sword in his right hand chopped forward. Xiao Huo sent out the cross-chopping as if it had been sent right in front of Long Haochen. Long Haochens sword also chopped in the core position of Xiao Huos cross-chopping. The golden light as bright as the scorching sun blossomed on the sword of Long Haochens right hand. It was a knights level four skill: the Bright Suns Behead. When the golden light converged in the sky, Long Haochen did not retreat, and while the cross was broken, the sword in his left hand had also been pierced out, and his original demon sh was put out with a shot. Thousands of sword shadows vibrated at a special frequency like a golden fog of light towards Xiao Huo. There was no harsh sound, each sword was just like a ray of light. Among the Eternal Heroes who watched the game, many people nodded secretly. From Long Haochens flowing movements and this self-created skill, they could feel the excellency of this young man. His achievements were supported by his own great strength. Xiao Huos movement seemed to be a little slow, in the face of the demon sh, he seemed to be unable to dodge. The double swords in his hands, which had just finished the cross-chopping, made a strange posture in front of him. Not soon after he had finished his sword posture, the demon sh reached him. Although Long Haochen did not have a powerful weapon in his hand, the demon sh was hisbination of lightning thorns and original ripples of light. It was a powerful attack when driven by a level-nine practice level user. However, all the golden light disappeared quietly when it was one foot in front of Xiao Huos body, and even the slightest ripple did not ssh. It was ineffective. What surprised Long Haochen the most was that he found that his attack didnt even touch his opponent. What kind of power is this? A domain? When thinking of the word domain, Long Haochens own Light God domain was subconsciously released. The soft golden light instantly enveloped the battlefield where he and Xiao Huo were in. By the recent series of high-intensity battles, Long Haochen had be more able to control his Light God domain. His power in the Light God domain was undiminished, but it did not affect the other Eternal Heroes around him at all. The Light God domain could be said to be the nemesis of all light attribute domains. In Long Haochens perspective, the disy of his own domain along with the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, should made him gain the upper hand anyway. At least he could force Xiao Huo to use some powerful strikes before it was possible to turn the situation around. However, he was wrong. When the Light God domain and Xiao Huos body collided together, Long Haochen almost eximed because his domain had failed. The Light God domain hadpletely lost its effect in front of Xiao Huo. Seeing the golden light flowing, Xiao Huo stood firm like a solid boulder in the torrent. On the other hand, the power of the light domain of Long Haochen slid along both sides of his body like a wave of water. It was at this time that Xiao Huo, who made a strange posture, released his second attack. What Long Haochen saw was a huge golden eye, and when Xiao Huounched the attack, hepletely disappeared. Then an irresistible force came close to him. For a moment, Long Haochen only felt his body trembling violently out of control. Countless golden lights shone on the Eternal Armor. Every bit of gold brought him a slight tingling. The light covered almost every inch of his body. However, he had no way to resist. Between the swings of his swords and how his spiritual powers burst out, they had no effect on the golden eye at all. It was as if his psychic powers and his own abilities hadpletely failed at this moment. Boom Long Haochens body flew far away, as if it was bombarded by the eyes of the golden eye. He hit the stone wall at the distant, and then slowly slid down to the ground. The golden eye disappeared but Xiao Huo reappeared there. He was still in the appearance of a golden armor, with a faint of golden fog on his swords. Is that all you can do? And you n to fight the God of Devils at this level? Xiao Huos voice was very insipid, there were not many mood swings. However, Long Haochens face blushed with shame. The blow just now did not do him any harm, for the impact of the thousands of golden rays falling on him was not that strong. Coupled with the strong defense of Eternal Armor, he was just blown away. However, even though Long Haochens body was not hurt, his heart was badly stung. Since he gained the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, and the evolution of Hao Yue, he felt that he had the ability topete with the God of Devils. This was why he confidently presided over the Federal Council and wanted to fight with the God of Devils. However, from this fight, it was like a p in his face, so that he is awakened from self-confidence. He had no idea how he lost. He also didnt understand why the double swords in his hands, as well as his spiritual power and the Light God domain, all had lost their effect. Does it mean that the ancestors on the other side are immune to the ability of the light system? Long Haochen slowly got up from the ground, looked at Xiao Huo who was standing there, took a deep breath, and tried to pull himself together. Then he slowly raised the two swords and respectfully said, Please give me advice. Get up from where one falls. Only in battle can one really feel the cause of defeat. Tenacity upied arge part of his character, and although he was easily defeated by Xiao Huo, his heart was not discouraged, but became vignt. There was no doubt that the God of Devils must be more powerful than the ancestors in front of him. If he couldnt even resist the attack of this ancestor, how much chance would he have to win in the face with the God of Devils? What was the problem? Only he could find it himself. He didnt even think about using the power of Hao Yue here. Hao Yue was powerful, but if he was not strong, how could he cooperate with Hao Yue andpete with the God of Devils? Xiao Huo did not say a word, but slowly raised the two swords in his hand and made his previous posture again, and there was still no aura of light on his body. This time, Long Haochen directly mobilized the Light God domain, and the rich light elements gradually showed nine colors of golden light around his body, which was the effect shown by thebination of the domain of Eternity and the Light God domain. After thebination of the clear white domain of Eternity and the clear golden Light God domain, the nine colors became illusory, and the golden color was mixed with the eternal white. The aura seemed to have converged and was no longer so strong, but the Eternal Heroes watching the game clearly felt a huge pressureing from Long Haochen. The weaker Eternal Heroes retreated a little further. On the other hand, there was a strange light twinkling in Xiao Huos beaming red eyes, and he was obviously interested in the changes of Long Haochens domain. The nine-color golden light revolved rapidly around Long Haochens body, and he directly used his own domain skills, the Light Waltz. After a short period of thinking, Long Haochen understood that the reason for his failure was because of the domain failure. He didnt know why the domain failed, but he must find out the reason, otherwise, he would still be unable to resist the attack of Xiao Huo. So, this time, he raised the power of his domain to the extreme and aroused the domain of Eternity to blend with the power of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, in order to explore the mysteries of each domain through a more powerful domain. Long Haochens movement was very slow, he urged the Light Waltz to slowly approach Xiao Huo. The reasons he slowed down were because it was better to see the movement of the opponent and also to give Xiao Huo enough reaction time. He didnt want to hurt this ancestor! However, Xiao Huo stood there still motionless, still maintaining that strange posture. His posture looked very simple, with his left leg standing still, his right leg half a step forward, his toes pointed and his knees bent. The left sword was in front of his lower abdomen, the right sword in front of his chest, and both swords were held by the tip of the sword with his outer fingers. Light Waltz was getting closer and closer, and the power of domain was far from beingparable in the release of domain, not to mention the fact that this time Long Haochens domain had almost multiplied. Long Haochen had opened his perception to the greatest extent, and he could clearly feel even the slightest change in spiritual power. Light Waltz had arrived in front of Xiao Huo. At the moment when the two sides were about to touch, Long Haochen captured a strange change. Xiao Huos figure suddenly became illusory, as if his body trembled for a moment at a strange frequency like the ripples of light. The next moment, the Light Waltz spread slowly to both sides about a foot in front of him. However, this time it did not slippletely, but blocked Xiao Huos body. Before the joy appeared in Long Haochens heart, Xiao Huo started again. His figure disappeared in an instant, and the golden eye appeared again, but this time the golden eye appeared directly above his Light Waltz. An indescribable force pressed the core of the Light Waltz and directly suppressed the power of his domain. Then, the huge golden eye opened. Chapter 793 - Three Forms Of Brahma (I)

Chapter 793: Three Forms Of Brahma (I)

The situation was exactly the same as before, and this time the blow was even harder. With a harsh sound of the collision, Long Haochens body flew upside down again, hitting the wall of the cave. Even the location he fell down was exactly the same as before. The body slipped slowly, but Long Haochen did not stand up immediately after falling to the ground, he sat there motionless. Xiao Huo was also silent and stood there so quietly after falling to the ground, with his two swords in his hand in the same position as before. The eyes of Eternal Heroes all looked at Long Haochen, and they were used to loneliness. To wait for such a short time was nothing. It was the core legal array of the Knights Holy Mountain. Caier whispered to Yang Haohan, Grandpa Yang, howe there is no news from Haochen? Just now he triggered the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Will something happen with the ancestors? Yang Haohan smiled and said, Dont worry. Haochen holds the Holy Mountains order, no matter what, the ancestors will not do anything to him. As for the release of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation just now, it may be the ancestors curiosity about this Sealed Divine Throne. After all, this is the first time that we humans have been able to mobilize the power of this Sealed Divine Throne. If I were them, I would also like to see with my own eyes what this Sealed Divine Throne looks like. Dont worry, and just wait patiently. Dont you believe in Haochens ability? Caier nodded, smiled, and said, Im just worried about him too much. As she spoke, she simply sat down and contemted. At the same time, she also try to feel all the spiritual changes around her through a more concentrated contemtion practice. A quarter of an hour had passed since Long Haochen sat silently in the depths of the cave, and the whole cave was extremely quiet. Had it not been for the Eternal Armor of Long Haochen and the sparkling liquid of Xiao Huos Fine Golden-Based Armor, the cave would look the same as before. Suddenly, without any warning, Long Haochen jumped up from the ground. Ancestor, I understand now. Xiao Huos eyes twinkled with gold, and said with his calm voice, What do you understand? Long Haochen said, Its the domain. You used the strength of the domain to break my domain. Its not that my domain is too weak, but because you made your domain stronger. Xiao Huo was covered with armor at this time, coupled with the fact that he was a zombie, there could not be any change in his appearance. Its useless to say it out loud. Do you want to try again? Long Haochen said, I want to try. Please, my ancestor. As he spoke, he picked up his swords again, looked at Xiao Huo, and took a deep breath. The Light God domain was slowly released from him, but the process of release was slow, and this time Long Haochen no longer relied on the power of the domain of Eternity from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation anymore. He simply released the domain of the Light God. A clear golden domain gradually turned into seven colors, and then it was kept within one foot from Long Haochens body. On Long Haochens chest, a mass of blue light mixed with gold began to appear. Every Eternal Heroes around heard his heartbeat clearly. The colorful golden Light God domain began to feel foggy, and then it became illusory, and the extent to which it emitted from Long Haochens body became thinner and thinner, as if it was graduallypressing to Long Haochens body. The Eternal Armor had gradually turned into colorful golden color under the rendering of the Light God domain, and the illusory feeling had begun to be more and more intense. After two confrontations with Xiao Huo, Long Haochen finally understood by the virtue of his strong insight after a careful observation. At the same time, he also understood that Xiao Huo not only wanted to test his strength, but also to teach him some of his thousands of years ofbat experience. Why can Xiao Huo not be limited by the light attributes of the Light God domain, and even invalidate the power of his domain? After two failures, Long Haochen gradually knew the reason. The reason was that the domain for me. Level nine of rank five was the right time to be able to apply this. Xiao Huo was teaching him how to really use the domain for me. The domain for me, did not only let the domain and its user integrated better, but also made them be one after the integration. Xiao Huos domain level was certainly not as good as Long Haochens Light God domain, but it was by virtue of the perfect integration between himself and the domain that he turned the domain into a body and the body into a domain, which made up for the gap between the two sides at the level of the domain. In addition, hepletely introverted the domain in his body. Long Haochens domain was strong, but the coverage was also hit, in the process of collision, there would naturally be scattered. While Xiao Huos domain could be said to be extremely concentrated and smelted, it waspletely suppressed in that range of the contact surface, even though Long Haochens domain was dominant in the collision. That was why there was a failure in simr areas. The truth was that within the range of contact between the Light God domain and Xiao Huo, the Light God domain waspletely suppressed and excluded. In the secondpetition, Long Haochen mobilized the domain of Eternity for integration, andunched a Light Waltz inside the domain, which greatly enhanced the intensity of his domain. This time, even if the Xiao Huo domain had exerted its ability, the domain for me, to the extreme, it was no longer possible to create the effect to defeat Long Haochens domain like before. However, Light Waltz was still unable to suppress him, with the perfect domain for me, he calmly broke away from the attack of Long Haochens domain and blew Long Haochen far away again. At this time, long Haochen was in the state of raw simtion of Xiao Huo. Although Xiao Huo looked calm, he was secretly admiring Long Haochen. Long Haochens talent was so good that he could understand what he wanted to teach him in such a short time. This quick understanding could be said to be the only one he had ever seen in his life. What made him a little jealous was that Long Haochen even had the protection from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. It was actually very dangerous to reallyplete the integration of the domain for me. If it was not good enough, one would get hurt by the domain, or destroy the structure of the domain. In severe cases, it might even lead to a decline in practice level. However, Long Haochen had the protection from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, so there was no need to consider these issues at all. All he had to do was to try and integrate them. There was no need to be afraid of being attacked by the domain at all. This way, his integration process should be much easier than that of Xiao Huo. Chapter 794 - Three Forms Of Brahma (II)

Chapter 794: Three Forms Of Brahma (II)

What Xiao Huo did not know was that even without the Eternal Armor, Long Haochen did not need to worry about these problems at all. He himself was a light god, and in a sense, his body could even be called a group of the purest light elements. How could it be eaten back by the domain of optical properties? The seven colors gradually faded inside Long Haochen, and he obviously had some difficulty, so that his body shook slightly. However, the seven colors had never rebounded outward, which meant that Long Haochen had a strong absolute control over his own domain. It was also a feature of mental strength. Finally, when thest seven colorspletely disappeared from the surface of his body, Long Haochens body gently shook, and his whole body felt like a rebirth. All of a sudden, he only felt that his strength was at least ten times stronger, and the domain hadpletely be a part of his body, a part of his strength. It was not simply a kind of ability, the domain was him, he was the domain. Unwittingly, the golden swords in his hands turned into a more colorful gold like an artifact. Look, I Long Haochen had just opened his mouth, but he was directly interrupted by Xiao Huo. You still cant win. The golden eyes appeared again. This time it appeared faster than the previous two times. And when the golden eyes opened, Long Haochen only felt a moment of tightness in front of his chest, and then his body hit the wall behind him again. At the same time the Eternal Armor gave a strong hum. The three rays around his body quickly gathered on his chest; it emitted a circle of soft glows and stabilized the waves of the Eternal Armor. What a terrifying attack. At that moment, Long Haochen even felt as if the Eternal Armor was about to copse. Of course, it was just a feeling. However, he had aplete understanding about the domain for me, but still could not resist Xiao Huos blow. This time, Long Haochen waspletely confused. Do you feel that when you reach a certain level of practice, your skills are no longer important? Xiao Huo said with a low voice. Long Haochen got up from the ground, adjusting his body, and spurting a breath from his chest, which made him feel a little better. He nodded and answered, After entering the level nine, the power of the skill depends entirely on its own ability. Even a low-level skill can also exert great power. Xiao Huo shook his head and said, You are wrong. Your think it this way now because you dont have really powerful skills. The really powerful skill is to mobilize ones own strength perfectly and break out a power that far exceeds ones own self-cultivation. All I can say is that the skills you have learned in the past are not really suitable for the top nine. Whats more, it is not suitable for level nine of rank five or above. But I cant me you. After all, there are very few of us who can reach level nine of rank five. Long Haochens heart moved and said, Is that the kind of powerful skill you just exercised? Xiao Huo nodded slightly and said, The skill I just used is called the Eye of Brahma. Its the first of my Brahma Trinity. I am old. I have been groping for thousands of years. I feel the power of heaven and earth, and the secret meaning of heaven is created by itself. If you are interested, you might as well learn from me. If you can find another magic sword of the same quality as the Sword of Eternity on your back, then I believe my Brahma Trinity will be able to produce the most powerfulbat effectiveness in your hands. After all, I am already an undead. In my hands, the three forms of Brahma can only be buried. In the end, his mood seemed a little bleak. However, the confidence in the three forms of Brahma could be clearly felt by every strong person there. Long Haochen was overjoyed when he heard those words, he knelt down in front of Xiao Huo without hesitation, and said, Thank you so much for your help. He had personally felt the power of the Eye of Brahma, and no matter how he perceived it, he couldnt feel the essence of it. Unless it was with the Sword of Eternity to promote the Three Swords of Eternity, it was possible to resist. However, the Three Swords of Eternity were in a sense the skills of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and did not belong to Long Haochen himself. The three forms of Brahma created by Xiao Huo were actuallyparable to the Three Swords of Eternity. Its power was evident. This was not only a simple skill, but also the so-called one-size-fits-all and all-in-one skills. With Long Haochens understanding, if he were to learn the three forms of Brahma, it would certainly have inestimable benefits to his future practice. Whether it was for the use of spiritual power or in the domain, it was bound to produce a qualitative leap. As for the other two divine swords, yes, his Sword of Eternity was of such high quality that it might not be able to find a second one in the whole human world. However, he still had Hao Yue! Haoyue had evolved into a sessful octave, and if it was transformed into a purple and golden Hao Yue sword for Long Haochen. Its quality would not be much different from that of the Sword of Eternity. Using these two magic swords to perform the three forms of Brahma, Long Haochen seemed to have seen the scene of a war between himself and the God of Devils. Get up. Before I teach you the three forms of Brahma, you should also tell us why you are here this time, Xiao Huo said. Long Haochen said, Because the God of Devils found that I am still alive, he is likely tounch another holy war in a short time. This time the Devils n will do his best toe. The Anti-Heavenly Dragon n, the Moon Devils n and the Star Devils n will all join this holy war. The Union suffered a great loss of strength after thest holy war, and we are indeed inferior to the devils in terms of overall strength. Therefore, after discussion, we hope to invite our ancestors toe out. Hearing what he said, the Eternal Heroes there could not help but shine with wonder. Shu Yongxiao murmured, Are we finally going to be used? Long Haochen continued, Please rest assured because we have discussed that we will correct the names of our ancestors in the Federation. We will let all the people of the Union know what you have done for the Union. The magic image works better than expected, which gives the Union more confidence to announce the deeds of Eternal Heroes. No. Xiao Huo said calmly, If we covet this name, we will not choose to be undead and sleep here silently for so long. Thousands of yearster, cant we see through this? Its okay to go to war, but please dont dere our existence, we have our own ways to hide our identity. Indeed, dressed in golden armor, he exuded the aura of light. How could he be seen as the undead? As soon as Long Haochen was about to say something, Shu Yongxiao nodded and said, Xiao is right. We dont care about earthly fame at all, but Chapter 795 - Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (I)

Chapter 795: Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (I)

Shu Yongxiao only said those words and then she stopped and looked up and down at Long Haochen. The glow flew into the bloody eyes, no one knew what she was thinking. But what? Please tell me, Long Haochen said hurriedly. Shu Yongxiao said, Over the years, in order to survive longer, we have almostpletely lost contact with the outside world, except to hear the news from your Knight Temple once every few decades. This trip, I am afraid, will be ourst. And for thousands of years, in addition to sleeping, each of us has gained more or less a few unique skills. I hope the Union can choose a group of excellent young people for us to pass on our skills. We do not need you to respect us your teachers. But these young people are required to be savvy and honest. I dont care about others, at least they should be the same level as you. This is Long Haochen mused for a moment and said with embarrassment, The ancestors are willing to teach lessons, which is a good thing for the Alliance. Im all for it. Its just that it may be difficult for you to find someone like me. Long Haochen was really not being arrogant. In terms of talent, who in the Temple Federation couldpare with him? His innate spiritual power was as high as 120, which was the constitution of the God of Light. Xiao Huo smiled and said, Son, you have been fooled. Yongxiao was clearly fond of little girlfriend you just mentioned. She said it quickly because she is afraid someone else will im her. She is the first-generation master of the Assassin Temple. Long Haochen suddenly understood and he scratched his head and said, Caier is sure to be alright. She will be very willing to learn from you. Shu Yongxiao turned and looked at the crowd of Eternal Heroes. Did you hear that? said Shu Yongxiao with a smile. I do not care how talented the girl is. Ive already made up my mind by her honest and integrate heart. Xiao Long, you cant favor one over the other! Another old voice sounded, and an old man took a few steps forward and said, Xiao and Master Shu have robbed all the best. Im not asking for much. Anyone from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter youre talking about is good enough. As soon as Long Haochen was about to say yes, the Eternal Heroes around him almost crowded around him, and the strong ancestors, who were iparably quiet just now, were now more and more eager and talkative, and they all wanted to have a good student from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter groups. No wonder these Eternal Heroes were like this. They all knew that they would not exist in this world for long. If they could pass on the hard work of their whole life, they would still exist in the world in another form. And often a strong master was easier to find than a good apprentice! Long Haochen had just said that the ten members in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, were all in their early thirties, and the lower one was also the level-eight peak, eight of which were all ninth-level, and half of them were strong in the domain. Where else could they find such a genius? There was no one couldpare with them all over the Temple Alliance! Xiao Huo immediately woke them up. The response of Shu Yongxiao was the fastest, and the reaction of others was also not slow. Although these Eternal Heroes were headed by Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, when it came to finding inheriting disciples, they would not give way to each other. They not only surrounded Long Haochen in the middle, but their emotions got more and more excited, as if they were about to fight. Everyone, please listen to me. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Long Haochen hurriedly said in a loud voice. At the same time, the Eternal Armor on his body emitted ayer of glowing white eternal light, which awakened every Eternal Hero in that strange psychic fluctuation. The Eternal Heroes, more than 60, quieted down for a while, but their eager eyes were all focused on Long Haochen. They were waiting for Long Haochen to give them an exnation. Long Haochen earnestly said, I can understand your feelings. Everybody, dont worry. Maybe its because we humans are about to fight against devils. In recent years, we do have many young talents. Please rest assured that I will find for you one hundred hereditary disciples under the age of 40 who have the practice level more level eight. All of us in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group will be among them. As for the final choice, I think it should depend on fate. We might as well let you all draw lots together. I will not tell you in advance their levels but only group them separately ording to their positions. The one who picked the right lot can choose a disciple he like. We will do it again and again until all of you have chosen one. What do you think of this? These Eternal Heroes were all strong ninth-level. With the exception of Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, other peoples practice level was actually the same. They all knew that if they fought with each other, no one could convince the others. Long Haochens proposal was also fair. The crowd nodded one after another, and this was the only way to solve the disturbance. Long Haochen added, Since the ancestors agreed to go out with me, do you have any other things that you want? Ill prepare them for you. After all, these Eternal Heroes hadnt left here for thousands of years. Long Haochen didnt know whether they still could adapt to the outside world, or what they needed. That was why he asked. Shu Yongxiao said, Dont worry, we are not that fragile. Just prepares a big cloak for us. Thats enough. As for our identity, you say to the outside world, we are your bodyguards. Long Haochen said hurriedly, What? Thats not proper. Xiao Huo raised his hand to interrupt him and said, Lets put it this way. We have existed in the world for more than 6,000 years, and reputation is important, as long as we achieve our goal. However, thank you very much for your consideration and willingness to correct our name. As long as you can lead the Union to repel the devilspletely in the future, and let humans rule the world again, we will be satisfied. Thats all we ask. With you, we can finally see that our dream mighte true. Long Haochen said, I feel ashamed. Xiao Huo smiled and said, Dont be modest. If you were just as capable as you were when you confronted me just now, would you be able to be president of the Union? At the beginning, I have seen with my own eyes the power of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Even if it is your domain, it was carried out to the extreme. You go ahead and get ready. After we go out, I will stay with you for a while until you fully learn the three forms of Brahma. Understood. Long Haochen respectfully agreed. Shu Yongxiao said, Wait a minute, Xiao Long. You still need to be clear about the overall strength of our 63 old undead to arrange us in the war with the Devils n. Xiao and I are both at level nine of rank seven. Among the others, there are 16 people above level nine of rank five, and the others are all above level nine of rank three. Just to have a general idea about it. Long Haochens heart was really shocked for a moment. Sixty three strong people with at least nine level of rank three or above might not be able to make it out of the whole Temple Federation. Whats more, there were sixteen level nine of rank five and two level nine of rank seven, which could at least counteract the threat posed to human beings by the first race of the Devils n, the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n. It could be said that, with the support of these Eternal Heroes, human beings not only had the strength to fight against the devils, but also at least increased their chances of winning by more than twenty percent. They left the cave and took back the Holy Mountains order to the core legal array. As soon as he came out, Caier immediately woke up from the state of practice. Long Haochen had to face a group of ninth-level strong people, and no wonder she could not concentrate on her practice. She actually didnt get into the contemtion state at all and seeing Long Haochens returned intact, she finally got relieved. Long Haochen simply exined what happened during his trip, Yang Haohan could not help but be overjoyed. It could be said that Long Haochen was extremely sessful for what he did. He was not only recognized by the Eternal Heroes and they agreed to fight, but also the Eternal Heroes were willing to teach the younger generations. Long Haochen did not know the profession of these Eternal Heroes, but Yang Haohan knew it very well. Out of all the 63 Eternal Heroes, one third were knights. As for the eight or more ranks, although it was difficult to find strong people under the age of 40 in the Knight Temple, the head of the six temples could still be scraped together. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group alone had five knights, and plus Lin Xin and their young generation of excellent knights, there was no problem in inheriting the unique learning of these Eternal Heroes. The other five temples were also linked together so all was well. Yang Haohan left Long Haochen to wait at the Knight Temple as he returned to Yu Longguan as fast as he could, and in less than half a day, brand-new clothes and cloaks were delivered to here. Clothes were all made of fine silk, not only tough, but also warm in winter and cool in summer. It was especially good for keeping the body warm. It was the same with the cloaks. There was this thin gold wire rolling edge on the clothes and cloaks. It was not obvious in the room, but when the sun shone, it would emit a touch of golden light, with a kind of low-key sense of luxury. Long Haochen brought these clothes and cloaks into the cave again and distributed them among the Eternal Heroes. All 63 strong men followed him and left the cave through four times of transmission. Standing at the core of the Knights Holy Mountain, all the Eternal Heroes fell into silence, feeling the rich elements of light which made them ufortable, and their mood changed even more violently. After thousands of years of deep sleep, they finally wanted to leave, and this time, they probably would never be able to return. Their minds had been precipitated for thousands of years. It was impossible to say that there was no change at all. Chapter 796 - Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (II)

Chapter 796: Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (II)

Xiao Huo told Long Haochen that it would take some time for them to adapt to the external air and element fluctuations and decided to stay in the Knights Holy Mountain for three days, and then go to Yu Longguan to meet Long Haochen. The army of the Devils n might be deployed at any time. Long Haochen, as the president of the federation, couldnt wait here all the time. The great n of how to fight the Devils n had not been decided yet. He must immediately return to Yu longguan to discuss countermeasures. Xiao Lao. You see we cant predict where the Devils will attack. If the Devils concentrate on attacking at one point this time, it is not only difficult for us to resist, but also difficult to predict the location of the Devils. I have to get back as soon as possible, but the Devils have deployed all their strength this time. Our spies in the Devil n have been wiped out on arge scale, and the news that can be sent back is very limited. At the request of Xiao Huo, Long Haochen no longer called him ancestor, but Xiao Lao instead. After listening to Long Haochens words, Xiao Huo meditated for a moment and said, The problem you are talking about is indeed very serious. If you do not prepare in advance, it is impossible to stop any fortress in the Union in the face of an army of more than 50 Devil led by the Devil gods. However, I think your thoughts strayed. Hmm? Long Haochen looked at Xiao Huo with a surprised look and said, Please instruct me. Although Xiao Huo had been sleeping for thousands of years, he was the first Knight Temple Master after all. At the most critical moment when mankind was facing the threat of Devils n, he and several other temple masters were able to form a temple Alliance topete with the Devils n, and finally saved thest ce for human existence, which showed how magnificent he was at that time. In terms of war experience, even ten Long Haochen couldnt bepared with him. Xiao Huo said, You misunderstood the word of defense. If you change your way of thinking, you may be able to enlighten yourself. Yes, by defense only, it is difficult for us to stop the attack of the Devils. Because even if we know the movements of the Devils, but other army is still alive, what if they suddenly change the course of attack? Or suddenly split up? How do we defend ourselves? There can only be strenuous movements within the federation. In this case, the war has not yet begun, we have fully entered the rhythm of the Devils n, it can be said that we lost to them by half before the war. Do you know why the Devils have never attacked us with all their strength before? After a pause, Xiao Huo said coldly, Thats because the Devils dont want to destroy us all. At that time, if the Devils n really want to destroy us. Even if we set up the Temple Alliance and gather all the strength of mankind, we will not be able topete with the Devils n at all. In the end, the most important thing for us to survive is not that we are strong enough, but that the Devils n did not intend to eliminate us. In fact, the Devils n does not dare topletely eliminate us from this world, or even does not want topletely rule us. To find out the reason, we need to find out the nature of the Devils n. Long Haochen listened carefully to Xiao Huo. This ancestorpletely experienced everything when the Devils n first came to the Holy Demon Land, and he personally fought with the Devils ns army. His experience was very precious for Long Haochen. The space is broken and the 72 Devil Pirs arrived in this world. They brought us the terrifying gue to the Holy Land. At that time, mankind had just ended the war with the scourge of the undead, Electrolux, for more than 200 years. It was because of the horrors of the undead that there are already more than one fourth of the undead on the maind, and we are gradually eliminating them and gradually unifying the maind. At that time, the vitality of mankind was not only far from being restored, but at the same time, the two countries were busy fighting for territory. The arrival of the 72 Devil Pirs of the Devils n is only within one country and does not involve another country. At that time, the power of the splendid Vatican had been weakened to a very low level because it was hit by the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. As a result, there is no unified voice within the whole continent. Here we have to talk about the disaster that Electrolux has brought to mankind. Hepletely destroyed one of the three empires, weakened one, and almost destroyed the splendor of the Vatican. This gives the Devil a chance! Seventy two Devil Pirs have fallen in that almost intact country, and although they have also been affected by the scourge of the undead, their strength is rtively intact. At that time, the stronger country was aggressively waging war against the crippled country, trying to invade it and unify the whole continent. When the 72 Devil Pirs first came, they were even considered by the weaker country to be blessed by Heaven. It is conceivable that how could these two empires work together? Even the big country with the Devil Pirs failed to take the existence of the Pir seriously at the beginning. It was not until the gue spread at an astonishing speed that it turned all races into Devils, and began to attack and upy cities, showing the horrors of 72 Devil Pirs. But by then it was toote. In addition, the weak country took advantage of this opportunity tounch a counter-offensive in an all-round way. It can be said that human beings themselves destroyed themselves, and under the internal and external attacks, they destroyed the most powerful empire of mankind at that time. By the time the weaker country discovered the horror of the Devils n, it was already toote. The Devils n had be bigger and not only upied the whole area of the big country, but also began tounch a strong attack on the small country. Even after thousands of years have passed, Xiao Huo said with a sad look, And at such a critical moment, there are still differences among small countries. They were divided into two factions, ming each other, which led to the division of the country at a critical moment. Under the attack of the Devils, the country gradually copsed and perished. At this time, one of them was alert and began to summon the remaining strong men of mankind to unite with the outside world, break away from the concept of the state, avoid the impact of the desire for power on mankind, and form six temples topete with the Devils. There are two reasons why the Devils n finally let the human race go. First of all, the gue caused by the 72 Devil Pirs did notst for long. So that it did not continue to infect more races into Devils. As a result, the total strength of the Devils n was limited to a certain extent. It also made the God of Devils realize that if he continued to fight, the number of Devils would only continue to plummet. Another reason is that the Devils n had notunched an all-out attack on us for more than 6,000 years, which is because the Devils n itself is unable to make any products. Almost every race of the Devils n is a born warrior, born with a strong fighting capacity. However, they are not good at producing food and making utensils. This determines that they may have the upper hand in the war in a short period of time, but once the war is over and mankind is reallypletely destroyed, the demons will only gradually disappear from the Holy Land. The demons who will survive in the end will be only a small part and live a life of relying on the forces of nature to provide food. If you think about it, as a wise ruler, would the God of Devils kill the goose thatys the golden eggs? They keep us alive, which is tantamount to keeping us in captivity. Then plunder us through small-scale wars, and even trade with us. At the same time, it is also self-development, looking for a way to survive on this continent. This is the fundamental reason why we human beings can still survive. Fortunately, for 6,000 years, the Devils have never been able to find the possibility that they can survive on their own. Thats why we havent been wiped out. Otherwise, do you think the Devils will be so kind? Xiao Huos words were like an open door for Long Haochen. It made him realize a lot of fundamental things. No wonder the Devils evenunched holy war in that way of full-scale attack, consuming their own and human poption and strength at the same time. In the end, it ended the war briefly. They never intended to destroy mankindpletely! The Devils n is about tounch an all-out battle, mainly aiming at you. Because you have the power to destroy the Devil Pirs, thus causing the panic to the Devils n. What they fear most is being shaken. The two Pirs are not many, but that is a very bad start. Otherwise, the God of Devils would not have insisted on killing you. However, I am sure that even if the Devils sessfully enter the Union, they will not try their best to destroy the living space within the Union. And even eventually withdraw. Of course, a big looting is inevitable. Its like the wheat that has been raised is about to be harvested. Xiao Huos analysis could be said to be thorough, and if Long Haochen had not clearly known that he had been sleeping in the cave, he would have been regarded as the wisest elder of the Temple Alliance. At this point, Xiao Huo paused for a moment, a golden light shed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, We must avoid this disaster. Once our human vitality is seriously damaged again, then the umtion of thousands of years will be wiped out. This will only repeat the process of being kept in captivity again. It may never be turned around. So, in any case, we cant let the Devils invade the Union. As I said just now, there is something wrong with your way of thinking, which lies in the word defense. If you think about it on the other hand, if it is not defense, but offense, how will we face the demons? Offense? Long Haochen only felt as if the bottleneck in his heart had been pierced through by a sharp arrow, and the inspiration appeared instantly. Although it was still a little vague, he understood something serious. Chapter 797 - Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (III)

Chapter 797: Take The Initiative! An Army Of Sharp Knives (III)

Xiao Huo nodded and said, Thats right. It is to attack. Just a simple passive defense, of course, we will suffer a great loss, the Devils n can knead us as much as they want. However, if we put the battlefield in the territory of the Devils and fight in their provinces. Even break up into parts, at the same time from several directions to take the lead inunching a holy war against the Devils n, how do you think the God of Devils will deal with it? Will he dare to ignore us? Absolutely not. What he fears most is that we shake their roots. At that time, they will not lead us by the nose, but we will restrain them in turn. Is it possible that only the Devils can destroy it? Dont Devils always deploy heavy troops near our six fortresses? Then we will operate on these garrison troops of the Devils. Lets see who is more ruthless than the other. On one side, Yang Haohan hesitated. But can we defeat the Devils on the front battlefield? For a long time, we have been relying on the defense of the fortress to resist the attack of the Devil! Xiao Huo snorted and said, It has been six thousand years, but your way of thinking is still so conserved. When the God of Devils leads the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n toe, what is the use of the fortresss defense? In the face of the real strong, the fortress can only be a cage that limits us to give full y of our strength. Whats more, I never said I wanted to have a head-on encounter with the Devil. I see. Thank you, Xiao Lao. Long Haochens eyes sparkled, and he fully understood what Xiao Huo meant. Since war was inevitable, the first thing to do was to seize the initiative. Those who were more proactive will face fewer problems on the battlefield and would be more likely to get opportunities. By pure defense towards irresistible force, the final oue could only be a tragedy. The most serious problem that had been troubling him finally had a solution, which made Long Haochen feel overjoyed. He immediately set off to return to Yu Longguan, he wanted to talk about Lao Xiaos idea in the parliament. If everyone thought that it was feasible, then it was necessary to take action immediately. The preparation time for the holy war was never long, and even if one had to go all out, it should not take more than a month. Caier did not follow Long Haochen to return to Yu Longguan. She transferred her voting rights as vice chairman directly to Long Haochen. It was not that she didnt want to go, it was Shu Yongxiao who wouldnt let her go! After seeing Caier, Shu Yongxiao liked her very much. As undead creatures, the Eternal Heroes were afraid of the purification aura of Caier. However, ording to Shu Yongxiao, Caiers talent was no worse than that of Long Haochen. Perhaps in terms of innate spiritual power, Caier was not as good as Long Haochen, but as a reincarnation saint, she was the best assassin. At the same time, Caier began to practice from an early age, and her foundation was more solid than that of Long Haochen. Therefore, Shu Yongxiao made her stay and couldnt wait to pass on her skills to Caier. What made Long Haochenughed so much was that Shu Yongxiao, an ancestor who had lived for more than 6,000 years, insisted on letting Caier call her Sister Shu. Long Haochen did not dare to calcte the gap between their generations. Different from Long Haochens idea, Yang Haohan was in a good mood. Long Haochen, Caier and Eternal Heroes got along well, and the strength of these more-than-60 super strong men could also be said to have be a solid backing of the Temple Federation. They now had a better chance to win the holy war. Back at Yu Longguan, without a moments rest, Long Haochen immediately summoned all the members of the parliament to hold a meeting and told them Xiao Huos proposal. Xiaos suggestion is like opening a window for me to see the hope that we canpletely defeat the Devils in this holy war. In fact, we have been using simr tactics against the Devils, that is, the hunter groups. Its just that the size of the hunter group is too small, and the overall strength is negligiblepared with the behemoth of the Devils n. Since the God of Devils wants to lead arge army toe, it is meaningless for us to hold on to the fortress, so I fully agree with what Xiao said. We mustunch a counter-offense before the arrival of the God of Devils and spread the mes of war to the territory of the Devils. Li Zhengzhi nodded and said, This suggestion is too timely. I agree. Turning passivity into initiative not only allows us to seize the opportunity, but also forces the God of Devils to be led by us by the nose. At that time, even if we are defeated in the frontal battlefield, we can withdraw to the fortress to fight against the Devils. Then we can predict the main forces of the Devils attacks. Long Tianyin nodded and said, I agree. The God of Devils must not have thought that we would dare to take the initiative to attack. Ive been waiting for a counterattack for too long. Lets have a big fight. The Devils n does pose a great threat to us this time, but if we can defeat the main force of the Devils n, it will also be a battle to break the dark age and turn things around. After his fight with Long Tianyin at the meetingst time, Long Haochen thoroughly established his authority as the president of the federation. After that meeting, Long Tianyin was silent for several meetings and gradually returned to normal. A discerning man like Li Zhengzhi immediately understood the y performed by the two grandfather and grandchildren, but there was nothing they could do about it. Anyway, Long Haochens authority had been established. And the Knight Temple that already had six Sealed Divine Knights, its status would never be shaken because of Long Tianyin being reprimanded once. As a result, the Knight Temple was still the biggest winner of the Union. Although Li Zhengzhi had always been somewhat unconvinced, people cannot beat over the circumstance, not to mention theing army of Devils. Everyone now shared amon hatred of the enemy. No one could spare a moment to argue for power and profit? Not everyone supported the proposal to take the initiative to attack, and the Priest Temple raised an objection. Several congressmen from the Warrior Temple also objected the proposal. The fairness and authority of the parliament were shown in the final vote. The powerful influence from the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group couldnt be changed by a few congressmens words. As a result of the vote, more than two thirds of congressmen supported the strategic resolution, and the historic battle between the Temple Federation and the Devil was finally about to begin. Now the decision was made, Then it came to the details of strategy and tactics. After the discussion, it was finally decided tounch an active attack on the Devils n by point attack and area attack. The six temples quickly began to mobilize and integrate the strength of the six temple professionals. Each temple was divided into five routes heading towards the other five temples, thus formed a full professionalbination of the six temples. After the upation of each fortress waspleted, it wasmanded by the temple where it was located. There was no time left for ice-breaking activities. After thepletion of professional integration, the six temples would immediatelyunch an attack on the Devils army stationed outside the garrison. Thus, announced the fullunch of this holy war. They would take the initiative to burn the mes of the war within the Devils n. The God of Devils summoned 54 demon gods to gather at the demon capital for a meeting, which had both advantages and disadvantages. At least in the army at the garrison outside the six major fortresses, there would be no demon gods for the time being. The Devils n obviously never thought about the problem that humans would counterattack. In the full-scale holy warunched at the same time, there was also a little breakthrough, but also a real check on the main force of the Devils n. The army responsible for the breakthrough was the first and second legions of the Union, which had been integrated. And Long Haochen would lead the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group to personally lead this team. At the same time, the Union also assigned all the returning hunter groups to this army under themander of Long Haochen. Their goal was to go deep into the Devils n like a sharp knife and give the Devils n a heavy blow. Of course, the warunched by this army was by no means blind. First of all, they would avoid going in the direction of Modu as much as possible. At the same time, while the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group would all apany the army, 18 of the 63 Eternal Heroes would also follow and fight. Among them were Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, and the remaining 16 were the 16 super-strong men who had been promoted above level nine of rank five. The strength of such an army had even exceeded the overall strength of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n. Moreover, if it was said to be inside the enemy, it would certainly not go too far. The army was flexible and had the ability to withdraw at any time. With their destructive power, they would certainly be able to contain the main force of the magic n of themander-in-chief of the God of Devils to a great extent. The God of Devils would dare not let Long Haochen lead an army like this to destroy within the Devils n! Whats more, his real goal was Long Haochen. In addition to the 18 Eternal Heroes who followed Long Haochen, the remaining 45 Eternal Heroes were divided into five groups and went to the Assassin Temple, the Magic Temple, the Warrior Temple, the Temple of Souls and the Priest Temple. The Knight Temple had no Eternal Heroes to assist in the battle, because the sharp knives armymanded by Long Haochen wouldunch an offensive attack from Yu Longguan. At the same time, Yu Longguan would be chosen in the final retreat. They had enough strength. As for the simultaneous attack of the other five temples, there was only one purpose, and that was to force the God of Devils to divide his army. It was so that he couldnt take all the main forces with him, so as to reduce the pressure on Long Haochens side. As long as the position of the main force of the God of Devil was finally determined, then there would be follow-up measures on the side of the Temple Federation. The Devils hade with all their strength, and the Temple Federation did not have any reservations as well. Some hidden forces and treasures that could be used in the war were all ready to be invested in this war. The n was settled, and then there was a rapid integration. If one could overlook the entire temple federal frontier from high above, there would be signs of significant army movements throughout the frontier. Each temple was divided into five routes to other temples. As for the operational orders and the real purpose, they were kept in strict secrecy. It was at a time when the six temples were still transferring professionals to each other. Long Haochen and an army of sharp knives, had taken advantage of the night out of the Yu Longguan, just like a tiger out of the sluice and pounced on the Devils defenders located a hundred miles away. Chapter 798 - Killer Thorn (I)

Chapter 798: Killer Thorn (I)

The army of sharp knives led by Long Haochen had only about 14,000 men. It was because he only brought the professionals of the two legions and not the ordinary soldiers. Theposition of the first and second legions of the Union was the same, which were made up of four thousand soldiers, a thousand knights, five hundred assassins, wizards, summoners, and priests. Each legion, together with more than 40,000 soldiers of various arms, formed twoplete legions of 50,000 each. The purpose of this army was to fight deep into the Devils n, so, a mere ordinary soldier wouldnt suffice. And it would greatly affect the speed of the whole team. Therefore, the real participants in this operation were only more than 14,000 professionals from all the six temples. These professionals were all equipped with mounts, no matter what upation they were. There were not many wizards, summoners, and priests, but after all, they were still professionals, their physical qualities were far beyond ordinary people, and they could ride with a little practice. Since this was the first legion to be formed after the founding of the New Union, all the elites from the six temples were chosen. Among them were some members of the Brilliant Angel Knight group that Long Haochen had seen before. The soldiers were all above the fourth level, and the strong men of the other five temples were all above the sixth level. Although the total was only about 10,000 and the soldiers still ounted for most of them, these people were all the elites of the six temples. As night fell, the army came out from behind Yu Longguan, then made a circle and slowly approached the camp of the Devils army from the south. The role of the strong men in the war was fully revealed at this time. More than 14,000 people, all riding on mounts, upying a huge area. However, Long Haochen alone, by virtue of his strong spiritual strength, covered all these people. No probe magic could detect any movement under the interference of his mental power. Only the caster of the exploratory magic could surpass Long Haochen in terms of mental strength. Xiao Huo followed Long Haochen next to him, he also rode on a tall horse, and Long Haochen rode on the Sacred Unicorn Star King. On the left of Long Haochen was Caier, and behind him was Ya Ting. In order to cover up the full-bodied psychic fluctuations of the Queen of Light Elf, Ya Ting had to wear a magic robe that could cover the elements. She was not the same as Long Haochen, her own light element was not only pure, but she was also closer to the nature of the spirit body, closer to the light element. Therefore, at any time, her body would emit a soft golden light, which was beyond her own control. Except in an environment where there was no light element at all, Ya Ting would be an evesting luminous body. The rest of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were also there, but each of them had an Eternal Hero around them. There was no doubt that the vision was in direct proportion to the practice level. Those who choose the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group as inheritors were all Eternal Heroes above level nine of rank five. At this time, the happiest was Lin Xin. It was because beside him, there was a valiant female knight riding a rose unicorn. When the first and second Federate Legions were established, Li Xin was sent by the Knight Temple. When the two legions went to the front this time, she therefore came. Li Xin was only about 30 years old this year, and she looked even more like she was still in her twenties. Therefore she was also a popr choice among Eternal Heroes, and she was also chosen by a female knight. At this time, he walked side by side with her, and from time to time he talked andughed with Li Xin. If he hadnt known in advance, he would never have guessed that she was a knight of the undead. After the return of the Eternal Heroes, Long Haochen admired these ancestors more and more. All the concerns of the federal parliament did not arise. As the Eternal Heroes proposed to pass on their unique skills, they selected inheritors in the six temples, which instantly narrowed the distance between the six temples. Coupled with their strong strength, they were scattered in the other five temples. Not only could the disciples be selected after the unified deployment of manpower in the six temples, but also all the high level rank officers of the six temples weed and regarded these heros as honored guests. No temple could find nine strong men above level nine of rank three. Having these ancestors in charge was a great relief. The Eternal Heroes were also perfectly integrated into the system of the Temple Federation. Caier. Shu Yongxiao talked to Caier who was standing next to her. Sister Shu. Caier looked at her with a smile. Inparison, Caier was not as restrained and respectful as Long Haochen in front of these ancestors. She was more natural. Shu Yongxiao was a beautiful woman, except for the color of her eyes and the smell of her body. Although the power of purification in Caiers body surged from time to time because of the smell of the undead around her, her ability to control herself was now quite strong after the great improvement back in the ck and red world. Xiao Huo taught Long Haochen that kind of control ability, the domain for me. Shu Yongxiao had just taught her. She was better at attacking than Long Haochen. When the battle begins, you will follow me and be my shadow. I dont need you to fight, you just have to pay attention to my movements. Shu Yongxiao spoke to Caier in such a gentle voice that even the other Eternal Heroes were not used to it. As they knew the first master of the Assassin Temple very well, they understood that Shu Yongxiao liked Caier very much. All right. Caier agreed immediately and readily. Of course, she could feel Shu Yongxiaos love for herself, and she also liked this ancestor, Sister Shu. Although she had only been studying from her for seven or eight days, Shu Yongxiao had taught her a lot of useful things, which further enhanced thebat effectiveness of Caier. As it was getting closer and closer to the Devils camp, Long Haochen raised his hand and signaled the whole army to stop. Give the order, all dismount, and leave five hundred soldiers here to guard the horses. The rest of you stay in formation ande along with me. Worthy of being professionals, Long Haochens order was quickly spread to the whole army. Except for knights, all the other professions got off their horses quietly, and the horses stayed in ce without making any superfluous sound. After all, with the exception of knights, none of the other professions were good at horseback riding. Horses were just for them to ride, and walking was more familiar to them when they really fight. Two thousand knights were in front, priests were behind them, and wizards and summoners were further back. The left, right and back directions were all surrounded by soldiers. The assassin wandered around them. They kept the formation intact and moved forward slowly. Long Haochen deliberately left Han Yu behind, not to guard the horses, but to interfere with the detection magic of the Devils. He did it to not expose these horses and the remaining soldiers. At the same time, having Han Yu there could also avoid idents. The army of Devils stationed outside Yu Longguan was more than 200,000 in total all year round, which reached as much as one million at one time during the holy war five years ago. Just because of the harsh environment here, only high-order Devils were left to fight, and it was difficult for low-level Devils to survive here. Therefore, the Devil garrison outside Yu Longguan could be said to be the strongest of all six major fortresses. They were all Devils of the fourth level or above. This showed how powerful the Devils n was. There were 204,000 strong soldiers in total, which would take the whole Temple Federation to add up to such a number. That was an important reason why the Temple Federation had always been afraid of fighting the Devils head-on. However, with the participation of Eternal Heroes, the Temple Federation was not inferior to the Devils n in terms of high-level strength, especially since this time it was led by the top strong people such as Long Haochen. Only then did they have the confidence to target more than 200,000 of the magic army with more than 10,000 people. It was getting closer and closer to the garrison of the Devil, and from a distance, the camp of Devils army could be seen. They could not continue to approach, although the weather was cold at Yu Longguan, the visibility was very poor at night, but if they were to continue to move forward, the watchtower of the Devil would be able to see their approaching with the naked eye. Long Haochen said, Stop moving forward and tell all to get ready for battle. Lin Xin. Boss. Lin Xin walked quickly to Long Haochen. Long Haochen asked, With the overall strength of our wizards, how much closer do we need to give a full y ofbat? Lin Xin immediately replied, We are still about eight miles away from the Devils n. It takes at least three miles for the wizards range magic to work. If you want to have the maximum killing effect, we have to be as close to one mile away. Long Haochen nodded and said, Okay, I see. Everybodyes here. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was themander of the legion of the sharp knives, who were in charge of the army of different professions ording to their upations. They all quickly came to Long Haochen and gathered around. A total of 18 Eternal Heroes also gathered together. Long Haochen said with a deep voice, The enemy has more than 200,000 members. ording to the news of the investigation by Yu longguan, there is only one Devil god stationed within the enemys camp now, which is Bu Song, the 20th Devil god. If he can enter the top 20, his practice level must not be low, and his Devil pir is also here. There were originally three Devil gods that guards here. ording to our informant, except Bu Song, the other two have been transferred back to the Devils capital. The Eternal Heroes did not participate in any of the discussions about strategy. As early as when they came to Yu Longguan, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo stated that they would not give anymand opinions in the war with the Devils. They wouldpletely obey the orders, and would just focus on fighting. There was no doubt that their decision was the wisest, because after all, they had been asleep for thousands of years and did not understand the outside world. The current war between humans and Devils certainly could not be in the way they did thousands of years ago. Moreover, their were their ancestors that if they really wanted to participate in the discussion, who dared not to listen to them? Chapter 799 - Killer Thorn (II)

Chapter 799: Killer Thorn (II)

Therefore, after discussing with all the Eternal Heroes, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo decided that they would never participate in any discussions but just simply to fight. So, despite the fact that there were eighteen Eternal Heroes here, the realmander was Long Haochen. In order to reduce our losses and to seed in the strike,ter all our Tier 9 professionals will be the first to attack the enemy. Give the enemy a heavy blow, kill the Devils, and disturb the enemy. Then the army from this side will be deployed tounch a full-scale war. Kill the main forces of the Devils as much as possible and give them a heavy blow. In the face of absolute strength, the way of fighting was notplicated. All nodded one after another, and there was no doubt about their belief in Long Haochen, and there was nothing wrong with hismand. Lin Xin was already rubbing his hands there. He was the only magician in the team, and this task of killing must be the most advantageous for him. Xiao long, can I be in charge of that Devil god? of course, the Devil Pir is still yours. I dont have the ability to defeat the Devil Pir, Shu Yongxiao said. Long Haochen nodded and said, Sure. Thank you. With a twinkle in her bloody eyes, she said, You little guy, will you not call me sister Shu for just once? Long Haochen said with a wry smile, The etiquette cannot be ignored. Shu Yongxiao snorted and said to Caier, Look at your man, he is still a very traditional little guy. Come on, lets go first, andter youll see how your sister can kill the Devil. We assassins always kill the head of the enemy on the battlefield. Long Haochen said to Zhang Fang, Brother Zhang, you stay here and do themand for me. Wait for my signal. The moment the Devil Pir is destroyed, this side can go all out. Understood, Zhang Fang said. Long Haochen looked up at the sky. The night was filled with darkness. Although the wind was not too strong tonight, it was still very cold. It was so dark that the moonlight waspletely obscured by the clouds. Lets go. With a deep voice, Long Haochen led the people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and the Eternal Heroes to go out at the same time toward the Devils camp in the distance. The distance was so close that there was no need to hide anything on the armys side, because the mes of war would soon be ignited in the Devils n. After almost seven or eight breaths, more than 20 shadows had already crossed ten miles from where they had gathered together. Lin Xin, who couldnt wait, was the first tounch attack. The Fire of Immortal Dragon staff appeared in his hand with a dazzling light, and there was a rich red in the sky, and even the chill faded because of this red light. Red soon turned into blue, and Lin Xins spell, Holy Suns spell, bloomed instantly. The Holy Sun domain was exerted. The army of the Devils below always had scouts to detect the movement around the barracks, and suddenly there was such an obvious change in the sky that the shrill warning sounded mournfully in this cold night. There was a blue sun in the dark sky, the strong and hot aura fell from the sky, and the whole Devil camp was reflected with a thick blue because of this dazzling sunlight, andyers of beautiful light waves appeared with the beating blue me. However, what the blue sun brought them was not warmth, but destruction. The next moment, clumps of blue fireballs began to fall from the sky and went straight to the Devils camp below. Lin Xin casted the spell very fast, and the light of the Holy Suns spell was getting stronger and stronger. Terrifying heat blossomed in the air. That mass of super strong burst of fireballs fell from the sky, gradually gathered into the Yan me version of the meteor fire rain, falling down and enveloped the camps on a big scale . The camp of the 200,000 army covered a very wide area, stretching for more than ten miles. In order to withstand the severe coldness as much as possible, these camps were set up very closely. This also helped Lin Xins meteor magic to give a bigger damage. A mass of blue mes was ignited in the mournful screams of the Devils. Lin Xins attack was entirely aimed at the core of the Devils camp. As long as there was a little wind, it would ignite all the surrounding tents. Not to mention these fireballs would explode immediately afternding. Of course, Lin Xin was not the only one to carry out the action, all of them went into battle at one go. Three of the eighteen Eternal Heroes stayed in the air, and their task was to protect the magician. In addition to Lin Xin, there were also two wizards among the Eternal Heroes, one was the wind system and the other was the water system. As soon as the two wizardsunched their attack, their great abilities were known. Their way of fighting was entirely to assist Lin Xin, and their assistance had at least tripled Lin Xins magic damage. The two wizards did nothing until Lin Xins Holy Suns spell meteor shower had begun and lit a lot of mes in the magic camp. The wind wizard only casted some simple-looking little magic, Wind Rolls. The attack power of this magic was not strong, but it could release a rtively strong whirlwind within a certain range. It was a third-order wind magic. And this wind magician was the one who chose Lin Xin to inherit his magic. Despite the fact that the attributes were different, he recognized Lin Xin. One by one, the winds fell into the Devils camp below, and Lin Xin was a little confused at first, but when the power of these winds was released, he was surprised and full of admiration for the Eternal Hero of the wind system. The wind rolls were like living ones, falling evenly in the Devils barracks, and almost every wind fell after a meteor of Lin Xin fell to the ground and exploded. The explosive power of the meteor was extremely amazing, arge area of fire burst out, and there was a strong roar. And the tornadonded right at the center of the explosion. Large blue sparks were rolled up and sent into the distance, and they never extinguished. In the use of spiritual power, it could be described as wonderful. The temperature of Xins Yan me was so high that even a small spark falling on the tent could ignite the tent immediately. With the help of these winds, the direct damage of the meteor fire rain had not been enhanced, but the destructive power to the entire Devils camp was geometrically multiplied. The fire wizard did something even better. His magic was released specifically in the ce where it burned the most. And it was also a very low-level magic, Water Column. This was a second-level magic, the water column was not as lethal as the wind, under normal circumstances only to impact, breaking the enemy into parts, and prevent opponent from approaching near, as simple as that. But now this column of water seemed to be opposite to Lin Xin, looking for the ce where Xin Yans me burned most vigorously. However, a surprising scene appeared, when these jets of water fell into the me, they did not spread directly. Nor did they fall down at once, but paused at the outermost part of the me, and then burst out. In this way, instead of weakening the Xin Yans me, these water columns had be the most terrifying fuel. With the help of these fuels, the light of the fire below had at least doubled, and it made a bizarre scene when viewed from the sky. The wind magician suspended around Lin Xin and said, The mystery of magic is infinite. It is not that the higher the level, the more powerful the magic. But it is the most suitable magic that is the most powerful. Smart people could see through even the smallest thing, and they didnt need to say much. Lin Xin had a clear understanding in his heart. In addition to these three wizards and three warriors who protected them, others had fully devoted themselves to the battlefield. All the assassins had disappeared. Long Haochen stood proudly in the sky, and the Sacred Unicorn Star King was his mount, and the glittering white light rose into the sky right the moment the fight started, illuminating the night sky thoroughly, and the great Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared grantly in mid-air. The terrifying pressure of the Imperial weapon declined in an all-round way immediately andunched aprehensive crackdown on the army of Devils below. Could pressure actually kill? The answer was yes. When Long Haochen was first recognized by the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the first appearance of this Sealed Divine Throne caused a strong impact on the armies of Devils dozens of miles away, which was why they were stationed as far as 100 miles from Yu Longguan, instead of the normal 30 to 50 miles. This time, the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared directly above the Devils camp, and its strong power was also greatly enhanced. Long Haochens spirit was fully integrated into this pressure, he was going all out. Almost the entire Devils barracks had been affected to varying degrees, the most obvious was in the Devils army directly below the diameter of about a mile, all the Devils below the sixth level were suppressed on the ground and couldnt move. The fourth level or so, the rtively fragile Devils even began to have arge number of casualties. It didnt matter if they were just suppressed and could not move. The point was, there was an arsonist in the sky! The dazzling glow of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation spread outward, even people from Yu Longguan in the distance, and the mighty Knight Temple could clearly see it. Asmander-in-chief, Long Haochen did not take the lead to fully devote himself to the battle, because he had to control the overall situation rather than attack blindly. While urging the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to release a strong pressure, his eyes were also locked in the core position of the Devils camp. Just as he looked past, a swarthy Devil Pir suddenly burst into brilliance. Chapter 800 - Killer Thorn (III)

Chapter 800: Killer Thorn (III)

The dark column emitted a dark green luster, and the strangest thing was that while the light was released, its volume was growing rapidly, just like a towering tree growing desperately. After a while, the Devil Pir which grew more than a hundred meters, and from far, there were objects that looked like branches, looking like a huge tree man. A dark green figure also rose into the air and appeared in mid-air. A rich dark green light bloomed instantly, going in the direction of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The domain. There was no doubt that what suddenly appeared was the currentmander-in-chief of the Devils camp, the Tree Devil God Bu Song who ranked 20th among the 72-Pir Devil Gods. If one could enter the top 20, one must be strong in the domain. Moreover, thebination of the Tree Devil God himself and the Devil Pir could be said to be one of the best among the 72 Devil Pirs. Bu Song was also surprised when the camp was raided. As soon as he got out of the camp, he felt the terrifying pressure from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. He had experienced this pressure not long ago, and it brought him a great shock at that time, and after that, he passed the news to Modu immediately. Soon after, Modu received an order that the other two Devils who were guarding Yu Longguan with him would be transferred back to Modu for discussion. At present, there was no news from Modu, but he could vaguely feel that the human side was not calm, and his Majesty was bound to react. However, he never expected that the war woulde so soon, and moreover, it was initiated by human beings. Looking at the huge Sealed Divine Throne in the air, the Tree Devil God Bu Song also felt a little numb on the scalp, because he had no idea how powerful the Sealed Divine Throne was. Moreover, in his knowledge, he had never seen such a Sealed Divine Throne before. In Knight Temple, what was not recorded in detail on the side of the Devils n was the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation that had never been used by mankind. However, asmander-in-chief, after hurriedly issued a few orders, he still inspired his own Devil Pir for the first time, and at the same time rose into the air andunched an attack on Long Haochen. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation must be curbed, otherwise the fighting power of the Devil army would be greatly reduced. The appearance of the Sealed Divine Throne was equivalent to a veryrge range of oppressive magic! Long Haochen was suspended in mid-air, but he didnt even look at Bu Songs side. The rank 20 demon wasnt a match for him. Caier followed Shu Yongxiao early to the edge of the Devils n. At the beginning of Lin Xins attack in the air, Shu Yongxiao made a gesture, and then sneaked into the Devils camp like a wisp of smoke. Caier hurriedly caught up with the pace of Shu Yongxiao, as she was also very confident in terms of speed. She followed closely behind this ancestor, like her shadow. And whenever Shu Yongxiao in front dodged, she also dodged. Soon, the meteor fire rain in the sky had fallen and the Devils camp had also been rmed. Arge number of Devils began to rush out of the camp, and some wizard Devils and hell Devils began tounch a counterattack into the air. The Devils air force also began to lift off to fight. Shu Yongxiaos speed did not slow down because of the appearance of these enemies, her speed increased. Caier vaguely saw that she did not know when there were two more Trigonous Thorns in the hands of Shu Yongxiao. The three-pronged thorn was dark and lightless. In the hands of Shu Yongxiao, they were like a pair of poisonous snakes, wherever Shu passed, those demons nearby her would be stiff and motionless in an instant. After a long time after Shu and Caier left, those Devils eventually fell to the ground quietly. Through observation, Caier found that the attack of Shu Yongxiao was very simple and direct, and what she admired most was that she could not feel the fluctuation of her psychic powers during the attack. Her Trigonous Thorns constantly move like ck lightning, and every shot will never fail, and the position was the same. The Devil n who had been chanted by Yongxiao was bound to have a hole in his forehead with brain directly pierced through. Shu Yongxiao was so confident in her attack that she didnt even pay attention to the psychic powers of her opponent. She already left far away when those demons fell on the ground. The whole process of killing looked so easy for her. Caier followed her while watching her movements intently. Gradually, she found out some wonderful things. The seemingly swift movements and attacks of Yongxiao seemed to be in a special rhythm. She didnt know what this rhythm was. However, this rhythm was like a drum beating constantly, the sound of beating was not strong, but it seemed to be umting something like water. That was all Caier could feel. She could be said to be the strongest assassin in the Assassin Temple besides the Eternal Heroes. However, after seeing Shu Yongxiaos skillful attack, Caier could not help feeling ashamed of herself. Compared with this ancestor, she had a huge gap in pure skills. In such a short time, at least more than 200 Devils were killed with Shu quietly slipping past. What on earth was she umting by her strange rhythm? It was definitely not the power of the domain! Just when Caier felt very strange, the Tree Devil God Bu Song appeared in mid-air and released a dark green light to Long Haochen. In the next moment, Caier finally understood what kind of power she had saved. With the appearance of Bu Song, the body of Yongxiao finally paused for a moment, and the position where she paused was just below Bu Song. At this moment, Caier saw clearly that Shu Yongxiao hadpletely changed. There was a burst of blood in her eyes, and then her body soared, and what she had saved finally broke out, that is, murderous spirit! In the course of the previous attack, Yongxiao waspletely like a pure undead, she did not release any aura. Caier thought she was an undead, so she didnt have the murderous spirit of an ordinary assassin. It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that Shu Yongxiao was not without murderous spirit, but that she controlled the murderous spirit and did not release it. Caier saw the color of murderous spirit for the first time. Shu Yongxiaos murderous spirit was ck, as ck as ink, so at the moment of her lift-off, her body was alsopletely covered by this ck murderous spirit. It was so that from any angle, nobody could detect her presence in mid-air. What was even more frightening was that the murderous spirit released by the Shu Yongxiao could be felt by Caier, but the Tree Devil God Bu Song in the air couldnt feel it at all. It was because her murderous spirit turned out to be substantial, like a solid, and unless one really touched it, it could not be found at all. No, it couldnt be said to be a solid, because a solid thing cannot be deformed. It was not a liquid, because the liquid would not so stable. So, it was more urate to describe it with colloid. Caier did not continue to follow Shu Yongxiao at this time, she never thought that a murderous spirit could still be used this way and could produce such a terrifying and powerful effect. Shu Yongxiao didnt seem to move very fast, but Caier was shocked to find that Bu Song, the Tree Devil God who was strong in the domain and was releasing the domain, had been secretly attacked by Yongxiao. He was still in full control of his domain power to attack the Long Haochen. Shu Yongxiaos attack was finallyunched, and at the moment sheunched, even if Caier had always been watching her, she only felt something strange in the sky. Then, the domain unleashed by the Tree Devil God Bu Song copsed in the air. A touch of darkness swept through the air, and Bu Songs body was frozen in ce, motionless, but his aura disappeared at an astonishing speed. On the other hand, Shu Yongxiao in the air had disappeared, and even the Caier who had been watching her could not see her. It was the moment after the attack, she lost the sight of Yongxiao. How terrifying. Even Caier herself was an assassin, she couldnt help feeling cold all over at this moment. She also caught something special. As a super assassin of level nine of rank seven, there was no aura and momentum from the beginning to the end of the attack, even if the Tree Devil God had been attacked by her, but the Devil army below was still not aware of it. Even she, who had been watching Yongxiao and was familiar with the ability of the assassin, still wasnt able to capture a glimpse of her. If the God of Killing were to give one stab, then Heaven and Earth would perish. Busongs body in the air finally changed and fell to the ground in an instant, and his aura of life disappeared at the moment he fell. Moreover, even the crown of the Devil did not appear. This meant that the moment he was killed, his crown of demons was broken at the same time. At the same time, a hand quietly grabbed Caiers shoulder, which she then reacted almost instantly. The Sickle of Death swept back in the hand, but it fell in the empty space, but the hand was still on her shoulder. Sister Shu. Caier gave a cry of surprise. At this time, her heart was already full of reverence for Shu Yongxiao. You are so powerful. When Shu Yongxiao came to Caier, no one saw it at all, and the red light in her eyes waspletely dimmed when sheunched her attack. And the one who had just been killed by her was the 20th super strong among the 72-Pir Devil Gods of the Devils n. Caier, that blow just now consumed almost half of my strength. Tell me, what did you see? While talking, Shu Yongxiaos body turned and shook like lightning, and there were no living Devils within a hundred meters around. Caier said seriously, I saw the true meaning of the assassin. Shu Yongxiao seemed not to be satisfied with Caiers answer and asked further, What is the true meaning of an assassin? Caiers eyes gradually lit up, looked directly at Shu Yongxiao and replied, Mysterious, to kill with one blow and leave the enemy dead for sure. Chapter 801 - Prelude To The Holy War (I)

Chapter 801: Prelude To The Holy War (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio After listening to Caiers answer, Shu Yongxiaos eyes became gentle again. Your understanding is all right. However, I want to tell you, it is also important to emphasize. The true meaning of an assassin is not three, there is only one, that is, to kill with one blow. The practice level of this Tree Devil God is inferior to mine. I think there are all kinds of ways to kill him, and it doesnt even need to consume half of my power at all. Why should I go all out and consume myself with only one blow? Think about it. This is not only the true meaning of an assassin, but also a habit that an assassin should really master. An assassins attack can never be repeated. Otherwise, it is a failure. Shu Yongxiao did not say much, but these short words in Caiers heart had opened a door to the peak of the assassin. Shu Yongxiaos eyes looked at Long Haochen, who was suspended in the middle of the battlefield, and there was a slight change in her eyes. He must have found out about my attack. Otherwise, he would not turn a blind eye to the domain of the Tree Devil God. But how did he find out? The huge battlefield of more than 200,000 people was rapidly changing. While Shu Yongxiao killed the Tree Devil God, Long Haochen also took action. A green light shone on his chest, and then the green light turned into an eye-catching Pir of light in the dark night sky and went straight to the Pir of the Tree Devil God. The green light drew a bright light in the air and fell straight on the Pir of the Devil. All of a sudden, the Devil Pir, which had previously been transformed into a huge tree man, suddenly froze, and then withered at an astonishing speed. The blue lightsted for three seconds, and the moment the light disappeared, Long Haochen shed ayer of green glow. Long Haochen stepped out of the sky, shining purple and golden lines on his forehead, and pped his hand on the top of the Devil Pir. A scene that shook the whole battlefield appeared, and the Pir of the Tree Devil God trembled violently, and then cracks began to appear. Originally, these cracks should not be obvious in the dark night, but they emitted a purple and golden glow and had attracted peoples attention. Amid the loud bang, the Devil Pir of the Tree Devil God was turned into countless fragments that scattered, while Long Haochen still stood proudly in the sky. A huge milky light of judgment also broke out at the same time, setting off his proud figure and the mysterious and terrifying Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, that guarded the hundreds of Tree Devil Gods directly beneath the Devil Pir. This was already the third Devil Pir destroyed with Long Haochens hands, the moon had not yet emerged, but Long Haochen had the destructive power. On the battlefield, the most important thing was the morale of the army. When the Tree Devil God fell, and the Devil Pir was destroyed, the morale of the 200,000 army of the Devils n was broken. In the distance, the Legion of Sharp Knives woulde quietly in the dark, and it would only take ten minutes at most, and the first round of collective magic bombardment would fall in the heart of the army of Devils. And the magicians of the magic n, under the pressure of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, had always been unable to form a system to fight back, let alone lock on these ninth-order strong men in the air. I stored that ability just now. The sound of Ye Xiaolei sounded in Long Haochens ear, and then a green light shed from his chest, and a small figure came out of the light andnded on his shoulder. Three inches tall, exquisite and small as jade carved, the soft aura of life was not strong, but a pair of dark green eyes were full of wisdom. This was the little Ye Xiaolei, and she was also the wisdom furnace of Long Haochen. The elemental Spirit of Light became the King of the Spirit of Light, but she became a brand-new spirit of God. Can you store your skills? Long Haochen looked curiously at Ye Xiaolei that fell on his shoulder. Ye Xiaolei wept with a smile and said, They are the wisdom furnace, of course they are the most powerful. I can not only store all the natural attributes of the skills, but also use your power to promote their evolution. In the future, you will know more and more how much I have helped you. For example, your skills in the domain of controlling the course of life have greatly evolved. Even the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, part of which coincides with me, will evolve under my influence. Long Haochen smiled and said, When I have a chance in the future, I will also find you a suitable body. I still like you better in your original human form. Its not fair for you to follow me like this. Ye Xiaolei gently shook her head. Thank you for your kindness. But you dont understand. Although I was very happy to live in a Dream Paradise, there is extremelyck of sense of security, I am very happy to follow you, do not drive me away. If I really want to leave you, I dont need your help. When a huge golden sword of light chopped thousands of meters and killed all the wizards of the middle and high order that were finally gathered together, the army of the Devils was finally overwhelmed by thest straw and began to rout. The Legion of Sharp Knives had arrived at this time; they really inserted from behind like a sharp knife. Under the leadership of Zhang Fangfang, who has the Sealed Divine Throne of Wisdom and Spirit, they attacked with all strength. Long Haochen still dominated the overall situation in the air, while the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and the Eternal Heroes all attacked on the escape route of the Devils. They used their powerful attacks as much as possible to round up the defeated army that the Devils wanted to disperse, while slowing down their escape speed. This 200,000-Devils army was the elite of the Devils n! Keeping them here as much as possible was bound to be a huge blow to the Devils. Especially in this 200,000-Devils army, the main force was the Loathe Devil n and the Bear Devil n. How much disaster would these two fighting races bring to mankind on a normal battlefield? It looked like Long Haochen won easily in this battle, but in fact, how many strong men did they deploy? With nearly 30 ninth-order strong men, there were more than 20 men who were strong in domain. Such a force, even the God of Devils, must act with caution. Not to mention that this army of Devils was led by only one Devil god. Of course, this army of Devils did not give full y to theirbat, if not because of reconnaissance failure, and they were given enough time to react, theyd need more effort to defeat the Devil army. From night to day, the Legion of Sharp Knives pursued nearly three hundred miles. In the end, the enemy wiped out more than 150,000 and only tens of thousands of Devils remnants were able to escape. Among the strong human beings, the one who killed the most was not the main magician Lin Xin, but Ya Ting. Although the fire meteor shower covered thergest area, it could not bepared to the killing speed of Ya Ting. Her domain, Sword of Kings, was invincible in the army of Devils, and no one could resist her attack. The 100-meter-long sword swept through the chaotic army of Devils with hundreds of casualties. After this war, Ya Ting probably had directly killed more than 10,000 enemies. Many Eternal Heroes who had seen the world for so long couldnt help but stare. Ya Ting had special ability, strong cultivation and she was an elf, so no Eternal Hero chose her to inherit. However, her lethal attacks and almost endless spiritual follow-up had greatly shocked these Eternal Heroes. To be honest, the Eternal Heroes had hardly made an all-out effort, and they were more like helping the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, giving all chances?to these young people. Eternal Heroes were sophisticated. Who could say better about the situation on the battlefield? If the enemy had reinforcements, and reinforcements be strong? If they retain enough strength, they could fully adapt to that kind of situation. It could be said that this was an unprecedented victory for mankind against the Devils. Over the past 6,000 years, the Temple Alliance had certainly been able to win some local victories, but in order to prevent the Devils n from going all out to retaliate, in the war with the Devils n, human beings never ever took the initiative to attack, and once the Devils n retreated, they never had run after escaped Devils. However, now it was different. With the participation of Eternal Heroes and the destruction of two title-level hunting groups, more than 50 Devil Gods were ready tounch an all-out attack, and the Union naturally did not need to restrain at all. Fighting the Devils as much as possible was the target of the Legion of Sharp Knives. To make the God of Devils feel the pain, theypletely focused on the main force of the Devil army, and finally reached the goal of bringing the decisive battle to Yu Longguan. After a whole night of war, even professionals would feel tired. Long Haochen ordered the Legion of Sharp Knives to rest in a dense forest in the territory of the Devil, and asked Han Yu, who was behind to take care of the horses, and led the remaining army to bring all the horses. At the same time, he called a meeting of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and the Eternal Heroes. With the exquisite sheepskin map spread out in front of him, Long Haochen squatted on the ground, pointed to the map and said, We are in this position now. In the previous war, we almost wiped out all the main forces stationed outside Yu Longguan. Our army did not get much damage under the treatment of sufficient priests. Thebat effectiveness of the Legion of Sharp Knives was even stronger than that expected by Long Haochen, and the perfectbination of six temples and six professions had confirmed for the first time the absolute superiority of multi-profession joint operations. If we continue to march eastward, we will enter the Samo province of the Devil. The Samos are a rtively weak race among the Devil, and they have littlebat capability except to withstand the coldness. In previous wars, they mostly served as the task of transporting supplies for the Devils stationed outside Yu Longguan. Han Yu, the news has passed to Yu Longguan now, hasnt it? Han Yu nodded and said, The news of our victory has been sent back for the first time. Yu Longguan should soon send someone to clean the battlefield and collect trophies. The granary reserves on the Devils side are great, especially all kinds of seafood, are well preserved. Long Haochen smiled and said, The Samo Province is the farthest province from the central province in the territory of the Devil. Chapter 802 - Prelude To The Holy War (II)

Chapter 802: Prelude To The Holy War (II)

Long Haochen smiled and continued, The Samo Province is the farthest province from the central province in the territory of the Devil. Unless the God of Devils only leads his Anti-Heavenly Dragon n and all the Devils toe as soon as possible, otherwise, it will take at least twenty days to lead an army from the central province to our side. Breaking through the defenders outside Yu Longguan, at least five or six nearby Devil provinces were all exposed to us, and their defense strength was extremely limited. What we fear most now is that the God of Devils is desperate to lead arge army to directly attack the southeast fortress and Wan Shouguan which are nearest to the central province. Therefore, we must attract the attention of the God of Devils. As the first God of Devils of the Devils n, when the Devil Pirs got broken, the other Devil Gods must be able to feel it. In the Union, only my power can destroy the Pir. Therefore, I believe that when God of Devils feels the death of the Tree Devil God, he will know clearly that I am on the side of Yu Longguan. However, the Devil army here haspletely copsed, and it will take at least five days to convey the details of the war, and should not be any faster than that. And it also takes twenty days to get here. Therefore, we have plenty of time now. So we must let the God of Devils know as much as possible about our actions. Xiao Huo said, Xiao Long, what are you going to do? ughter the Devils in several neighboring provinces? Long Haochen shook his head and said, No. The Holocaust is damaging to heaven and nature, and among the Devils, the real pure Devils are only a part of them. I once came into contact with an organization of Devils, which is made up of people and Devils. They secretly rebelled against the God of Devils and umted some strength. Moreover, I also heard that the head of this organization is a very important Devil God in the Devils n. This strength may not be enough to affect the whole war situation, but if we can enlist their help, we will have a better chance of victory. If the Holocaust is carried out hastily, it will certainly deter this organization froming into contact with us, and it will also arise amon hatred of the enemy. Shu Yongxiao said, Ask the tiger for its skin? Long Haochen said, I dont think so. The ultimate goal of this organization is actually to integrate with our human beings. The member I came into contact with told me that if humans eventually defeated the Devils, they just wanted us to leave them a territory that can be autonomous and not too big. And then they will gradually assimte by human beings in their interaction with human beings. Caier said, Then what do we do? Long Haochen said, The war is cruel, even if we do not carry out the Holocaust, we must attack the main force of the Devils n. And if we want to make a heavy blow to the Devils n in the shortest possible time, then we need to split up. Look. As he spoke, his right hand pointed several times on the map. He pointed all in the location of some nearby provincial capitals. The most powerful and important resources of the Devils are gathered in the capital. The Devils n has always been strong outside. The external defense force is always strong, while the real internal strength is rtively empty. Didnt the God of Devils take away arge number of Devils? We will take this opportunity to destroy their foundation. Therefore, I will target the six provincial capitals closest to Yu Longguan. Kill the main force of the Devils n in these provincial capitals and do some damage. We dont need to kill too much, but it is enough to plunder or destroy the resources saved by these capitals. The Devil has a total of 24 provinces, and the six provinces in the north ount for 1/4. ording to the characteristics of the Devil, most of their resources are concentrated in the capital of each province. if the n seeds, it will be very difficult for the Devil Emperor to shut down the southeast fortress directly. he must consider the instability of the rear while attacking the Union. For Long Haochens strategy, everyone nodded one after another, in fact, before the battle, there was already a general battle n. Long Haochen just said it in more details at this time. Caier said, Thats it. After the rest and recuperation, we will divide our troops into six routes and go deep into the Devils n to fight. The six groups should keep in close contact with each other, Long Haochen said. If you find that there is a remaining Devil god in that province, let me know as soon as possible. I will be there as soon as possible to destroy its Devil Pir. Compared with resources, the Pir is the root of the Devils n, and it is also the foundation of the existence of the Devils n. Lin Xin said, What we fear most now is that God of Devils will be so desperate to put all his forces into one ce. If he ignores our actions and still wants to lead his army to attack Wan Shouguan or the southeast fortress and use this as a breakthrough to burn and loot inside our federation, we will also be very passive. The point is, our federal resources are much richer than the Devil, we can rob, but so can they. Long Haochen nodded and said, I have seriously considered the problem you are talking about. It could happen. After all, it takes enough time for the God of Devils to lead an army to catch up. Therefore, I estimate that the most likely thing for the God of Devils is to split up. Xiao Huos eyes looked up. How? Long Haochens four simple words coincided with what he had in mind. Long Haochen said, The God of Devils wants to get rid of me, and we stirred the wind and rain in the north. He wont miss the chance to have a war with us. Therefore, I suppose that he will probably lead a group of the strongest Devils toe to fight us in the shortest possible time. This group of Devils is likely to be part of the 54 Devils he mobilized, as well as part of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n, Moon Devil n, and Star Devil n. The God of Devils has absolute confidence in his own strength, so he wont bring too many strong Devils here. The total number may not even exceed a thousand. In fact, under normal circumstances, such strength is enough to defeat us. Because the God of Devils is not aware of the participation of our ancestors. On the other side of their splitting, the God of Devils attack target is the most likely to target the southeast fortress. The Devils may have known that we are deploying troops. However, what he knows about some important deployments within our federation cannot be too urate. He must be thinking that the southeast fortress where the Warriors Temple is located is still the weakest. However, they dont know that we have averaged the professions of the six temples. Moreover, before we set out, we also arranged for some of the forces of the Assassin Temple to reinforced the Wan Shouguan and southeast fortress respectively. The God of Devils has mobilized a terrible number of troops this time, and he will leave at least 20 Devils tomand the army. If they go straight to the southeast fortress, it will indeed be a great threat to us. However, the southeast fortress is not so easy to handle. After the previous holy war, all the fortresses were fortified. At the same time, once the specific movements of the Devil army are known, Wan Shouguan and Jia Lingguan, which are closest to the southeast fortress, will also send support at the first time. Most importantly, there are now nine ancestors in every fortress. Once that fortress is attacked, the strength of the ancestors will be able to reach the fortress within one to three days. Then we gather the strength of more than 40 ancestors. Even if the enemy is strong, it is led by more than 20 Devils. However, it is by no means easy to break through our heroic hurdle. It may even be a big loss to them. After listening to Long Haochens analysis, everyone could not help but be shocked. Xiao Huos face could not make an expression, but the appreciation and admiration in his eyes were clearly revealed. He thought to myself, it was not because of luck that Xiao Long became the first person in the Union at such a young age. He was not only very talented in practice, but also calm and meticulous in mind. With this son in control of the federal situation, the victory in the decisive battle against the Devils was likely to be much bigger. Long Haochens guess was exactly the same as what he had in mind, so he stopped talking and just silently looked at Long Haochen. When the strategy and tactics were determined, the next step was to divide the troops. The Legion of Sharp Dao was divided into six routes, respectively by Long Haochen, Caier, Chen Yinger, Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang. Each army had three Eternal Heroes. Si Maxian followed Chen Yingers group, Lin Xin followed Wang Yuanyuans group, Duan Yi followed Han Yus group, and Yang Wenzhao followed Zhang Fangfangs group. Ya Ting followed Caiers group. The army divided into six routes and set out at the same time. Long Haochen was responsible for the most central of the six target provinces, so that he could immediately rush to other provinces where Devil gods appear to destroy the Devil Pirs. Long Haochen, although there was no partner to follow him, he had the strongest strength, and was also assisted by Xiao Huo, the overall strength was not under the other five groups. After the Legion of Sharp Knives, which originally had only more than 10,000 people, was broken into pieces, it became more flexible, just like real six sharp knives, straight into the northern hintend of the Devils n. The game of survival between the Temple Federation and the Devils n was finally in full swing. Devils n, Devils Imperial Pce. Busong, the Tree Devil God, is dead, and his Devil Pir has been destroyed. The face of the God of Devil changed color. He felt it as soon as the Tree Devil Gods Pir was destroyed. This was the third Pir that had been destroyed. Below, stood dozens of Devils. Each had a strong aura, they were the foundation of the Devils n, but also the most powerful group of existence, Devil Gods! Those in the Devils n were all powerful existence of the dominant side, but at this time the atmosphere made them unable to breathe as they all stood there quietly, and they didnt not even dare to look up to the God of Devils, just only a few in the front row looked up to him. The Tree Devil God Bu Song was dead. He was responsible to look after Yu Longguan. The destruction of the Devil Pir undoubtedly meant that Long Haochen had made a move. Your Majesty, I have been told to get urate information from there as soon as possible. Its just that the city of Xin is too far away from Samo province, and it will take three days at the earliest for urate news toe. The moon Devil God Agarez said respectfully. He knew very well that what the God of Devils was most eager to know was whether it was Austin, Griffin or Long Haochen who destroyed the Pir. If only Long Haochen destroyed it with the blood strength of Austin and Griffin, then the problem was still rtively small. However, if Austin and Griffin were not dead, then that would be a big problem. Chapter 803 - Prelude To The Holy War (III)

Chapter 803: Prelude To The Holy War (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The Devil Gods eyes were still bleak. If the Devil God were to die, he would not feel distressed, as he could always find another recement. However, the Devil Pir was the real foundation of the Devils n, just like the frame that propped up the mansion of the Devils n. Three Devil Pirs had been destroyed. It seemed like a small number, but what if it continued? What about in ten or twenty years? How many pirs would be destroyed? Vashak. The God of Devils cast his eyes on the Star Devil God beside the Moon Devil God. Vashak nodded and said, After receiving the news, I immediately used prophecy, only to see if Austin and Griffin appeared. It shows that its Long Haochen who destroyed the Devil Pir and this should be urate. But for some reason, I felt the aura of life in him, not the body of the undead as in the prophecy of life. Hearing what Vashak said, the God of Devils felt rxed. He nodded and said, This is right. Long Haochen saved Ye Xiaolei, which is the spirit left by the Goddess of Nature. It can be said that it is the most vital existence on the maind. With her, it may be possible for Long Haochens heart to recover. At least she will bring long Haochen a strong aura of life. Vashak suddenly said, I see. No wonder. After thest life prophecy, the God of Devils confidence in the prophecy of the Star Devil God increased greatly, and with his urate judgment, the face of the God of Devils looked a little better. As long as the original Austin and Griffin were really dead, and it was just Long Haochen then it didnt really bother him. However, Long Haochen must also die, he had part of the blood of Austin and Griffin, once they let him grow to an uncontroble level, then it would also be a fatal blow to the Devils n. Your Majesty, are we still going ording to the original n? Samigina, the undead Devil God, asked respectfully. The God of Devils frowned. Are you ready? Samigina nodded and said, The army will be sorted out in three days at most. Although the number cannot bepared with that of thest Holy War, the millions of troops integrated this time are elite of all ethnic groups. With the leadership of your Majesty, we can destroy them very quickly. The King of Devils nodded and said, Well, everything goes ording to n for the time being, Agarez. I want to get urate information from the north within three days. Yes,?the Moon Devil God Agarez replied respectfully. Thats it. You each get ready. The God of Devils stood up, waved his sleeves, turned and walked behind the Devils Pce. Po, who was standing beside him, hurriedly caught up. After hearing Long Haochens name again, Po clenched his fist. As soon as the God of Devils left, the Devils presented there immediately rxed, and their faces were no longer as tense as before. The familiar Devil Gods greeted each other and went out of the Devils pce. The Star Devil God Vashak leisurely walked with the moon demon god Agarez, and the two Devil Gods walked slowly out of the Devils pce, looking a little worried on their faces. Third brother, what do you think? As he walked, Agarez asked Vashak, who was beside him. Although this was in Modu, the conversation between the two people was still transmitted, and even the God of Devils could not eavesdrop on their conversation due to their practice levels. Vashak frowned and shook his head gently. Agarez was so familiar with him that he could not help but be surprised to see his expression. Dont you like the operation of our army? There is still a fundamental gap between the overall strength of mankind and ours. Your Majesty is even more determined this time. Cant we defeat the human race? Vashak sighed and said, Second Brother, do you remember what I said after the big prophecy made by Long Haochen, Austin and Griffin? The existence of Long Haochen haspletely threatened the rule of our n. And it was the only chance then. He deliberately stressed the only two words which made the Moon Devil God Agarez take a deep breath. You mean that Long Haochen has be a big threat now? Vashak, the Star Devil God, nodded and said, ording to the news from the north, Long Haochen may have won the recognition of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. And this Sealed Divine Throne has never had an owner for more than 6,000 years. Since its arrival, it has only yed a symbolic role in human race. This is enough to prove something. Moreover, it is owned by Long Haochen. Not only that, I suspect that Austin and Griffin are not dead. Long Haochen can live in this form, why cant Austin and Griffin? Since Austin and Griffin can be reincarnated, their vitality must be extremely strong. Moreover, ording to my research on the blood contract, if the blood contract ends, even if the owner is alive, the power of the blood contract will gradually weaken. And Long Haochen can rely on the blood of Austin and Griffin to destroy the Devil Pir of Bu Song, the Tree Devil God, which means his blood contracts strength is not weak. Moreover, in this prophecy, I also felt that there was a strong force around Long Haochen. Hearing Vashaks words, Agarez waspletely shocked. Third Brother, why didnt you say that in front of His Majesty just now? Vashak smiled calmly, Why should I say it? Even if I did, can His Majesty believe it? In the presence of so many Devils, maybe he will me me for shaking the morale of the army. Ive already died once, and I dont want to die again. At this point, his eyes shone with cold light, and no one knew what he was thinking. The Moon Devil God Agarez also became silent and patted Vashak on the shoulder. Third Brother, go back and have a good rest, maybe we will have to leave soon. He strode away. Looking at the figure of the Agarez, Vashak sighed. Second Brother, Second Brother, do you really think I dont know anything? If it wasnt for me He shook his head hard, and after a long sigh, Vashak turned away. He left with a pondering look. Agarez returned directly to his Moon Pce and back to his bedroom. Agarez sat on his favorite throne and closed his eyes, as if he were thinking silently. In a full quarter of an hour, as if he had decided something, he suddenly got up, went to the bookcase, and pulled out an inconspicuous book from the middle floor of the bookcase. All of a sudden, the bookcase issued a slight snap sound and slowly moved to the left. The sound was very small, only a little more than ten seconds, then a door appeared in the rear of the bookcase. When he entered the door, the bookcase closed by itself, and the extracted book returned to its original position. A faint purple light lit up from Agarez, illuminating the dark aisle around him, and after walking deeper inside for more than ten meters, he went down a staircase and there was light. Who? A deliberately subdued voice sounded. Its me, Agarez said faintly. A figure shrouded in ck appeared quietly in front of him. Hows the situation? Agarez and the man in ck went into a dark room nearby. Theyout of the room was very simple, there was a bed, a table and two chairs. There was also some food on the table. Agarez did not sit down, he went into the room and stood still. The situation is very delicate. Its hard to say yet. However, ording to Vashak, God of Devils operation this time may not be sessful. Vashak stressed that thest n to destroy Long Haochen and his Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was the only chance. Long Haochen is still alive, which means that the opportunity has been lost. In other words, it is very likely that the Devils n is really going downhill. Can Vashaks words be trusted? the man in ck whispered. Agarez nodded and said, It should be trustworthy. Thats what he said. Besides, Vashak has always had a good rtionship with me. I even doubt he already knows something. I need a chance to talk to him. What should we do then? the man in ck asked again. Agarez thought for a moment and said, ording to the original n of the God of Devils, after assembling arge army this time, he will directly march westward. Break the southeast fortress closest to Modu, our Heart City, and then go all the way west, deep into the heart of the human Temple Federation, and destroy Holy City directly. He wants to force the Temple Federation to fight us in the Holy City. Long Haochen is bound toe back then. It was done in one battle,pletely aiming the human race in one strike. At the same time, he will take advantage of this Holy War to plunder in the human world, not only to plunder property, but also to plunder arge number of people back. And eliminate all humans for thousands of years. But then he doesnt want to destroy the whole human race. He wants the army to withdraw after draining out the human essence. Of course, some of the strong human beings leaders must be killed in the whole process of the war, and the one he aims first here is Long Haochen. This is indeed a good way, simple and direct, to suppress human beings with Yang scheming and absolute strength. Did the God of Devils change his mind when he heard that the Tree Devil God had been killed in battle? asked the man in ck. Agarez shook his head and said, At least so far he has no intention of changing his mind. This is indeed the best way for the Devils n. Do you know why Agarez summoned more than 50 Devil Gods to gather in Modu and let them all carry their own Devil Pirs? The man in ck was stupefied and said, Isnt it to concentrate on waging the Holy War against the Temple Union? Agarez sneered and said, Others might not understand, but I do. The God of Devils is afraid of Long Haochen. What he fears most now is that Long Haochen is going to lead his Light Dawn Demon Hunter group deep into the Devils n, specifically targeting us, the Devil Gods.. In that case, it would be impossible to guard against the human race. Chapter 804 - God Of Devils’ Plan (I)

Chapter 804: God Of Devils n (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Agarez continued, The God of Devils told me that Long Haochen is now very strong. With God of Devils practice level, if he said that Long Haochen is strong, then Im afraid that Long Haochens current practice level is not something that ordinary Devils can fight against. Thats why he called most of the Devils together to avoid being beaten by Long Haochen one by one, and at the same time he can concentrate his efforts on waging war. It can be said that the strategy of the God of Devils is not exhaustive. So, what do we do now? Send a message to Long Haochen? the man in ck asked, feeling confused. Agarez shook his head. No, wait a minute. I have decided that this holy war is also an important opportunity for us. But even if wemunicate with Long Haochen, we have to wait until we have urate information. This time, there must be no more mistakes. When we have urate information, you will go there yourself. Yes. ... Poof With a dull sound, the huge Devil Pir instantly broke into countless pieces flying in the air. Long Haochen was suspended in mid-air, and the huge white wings of the Armor of Eternity spread out, making him look like a god falling from the sky. And just below that Devil Pir, a Devil God hadpletely lost the aura of life, and his Devil God crystal core was in the hands of Long Haochen. The fighting in the six northern provinces was drawing to an end. The army of sharp knives divided into six routes was invincible, and the capital of the six northern provinces of the Devils n were all breached without suspense. Among them, Long Haochen found two Devil Gods, and killed both of them, even their Devil Pirs were defeated. At this point, five Devil Pirs out of the Devils ns 72 Devil Pirs of the Devil Gods were destroyed. Lao Xiao, whats the situation in the city? Long Haochen asked Xiao who was beside him. Xiao Huo smiled and said, Everything is going well. Before we came here, Caier had almost solved the problem here. All the supplies were carried away by the magician with a storage ring. This Devil Pir is also destroyed, what are we going to do next? Long Haochen said, ording to the calction of time, no matter what, the God of Devils should have got the urate information. He should have done something by now. After we concentrate our forces together and break through another province towards the south, we will y hide-and-seek with the God of Devils. ... At the God of Devils Pce. What? Looking at the Moon Devil God Agarez in front of him, the God of Devils was furious. He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth inside the room. Agarez stood respectfully with his hands down, looking at the restless God of Devils. His heart trembled slightly, but he did not show it. Good for Long Haochen. After walking for five minutes, the God of Devils stopped. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his anger gradually extinguished, reced by a hint of appreciation. To be able to make the most correct judgment and put it into action in the shortest possible time, killing three Devil Gods one after another. Destroy the capital of my six northern provinces, he is trying to lead me there! the God of Devils said coldly. The Moon Devil God Agarez nodded and said, My judgment is the same as that of Your Majesty. This time the news should be very urate. The army led by Long Haochen is not arge number, but it isposed entirely of elite members. ording to the report of the spies, there are more than 20 strong people in his team, and all of them are not weak. It may even be the gathering of the highest levels of the six temples in order to gather such strength. Therefore, the human strongholds should be empty. Are we going to attack the southeast fortress directly ording to our original n? The God of Devils narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, No, Long Haochen is trying to shake the roots of our n. Now the six northern provinces are in chaos. And if they are not dealt with, Im afraid it will endanger our rule. The smartest thing about Long Haochen is that he did not ughter wantonly, but only destroyed the economic lifeline of my six provinces and destroyed and plundered the provincial capital. This will lead to a fatal blow to the economy of the six major northern provinces. Will our people over there remain calm and safe? Without them, all ethnic groups without food sources will have civil strife on their own. Before long, the north will be in chaos, and if it does not calm down, the chaos will certainly continue to extend to the south. If the coverage area is toorge, and we fight in front, there will be chaos in the rear, and it will be difficult to say who will be the winner of this holy war in the end. We must focus on The north first and drive them away as fast as possible. The smartest thing about Long Haochen is to attack and save what the enemy must save, forcing me to give in. The Moon Devil God Agarez nodded and said, Your Majesty, let me lead the Moon Devils. I am confident that even if I cannot kill Long Haochen, I will force him and his team back to human territory. You can still act ording to the original n. As long as there is a crisis among human beings, we shall not be afraid of Long Haochen and his n. The God of Devils nodded gently and said, You are right. With your prestige among the n, it is not a big problem to contain the six northern provinces. As long as we plunder enough supplies from mankind, other problems will be easily solved. However, have you ever considered this? What if you fail to stop Long Haochen and lose the fight? The Moon Devil God Agarez was stupefied for a moment. Your Majesty, does Long Haochen already have the strength to defeat me? The God of Devils shook his head and said, Not Yet. However, his practice level is not weak, but the key is that he has two Imperial Weapons with him. There is no doubt that the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was one and he has a shield. At that time, when he saved Ye Xiaolei, he activated the super power on the shield to repel me, otherwise, how could he take Ye Xiaolei away in front of me? It will not be easy to deal with if he is sure that there are more than twenty ninth-level strong men with him, including his Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group. Moreover, we have seven or eight Devils in innernd. If we just let him lead the army to continue to attack, we shall suffer a serious crisis. Agarez said, So, what does Your Majesty suggest we should do? There was a cold light in the eyes of the God of Devils. Ill let him have what he wants. Last time, he said that he wanted to fight me and die in my hands. I gave him that honor. This time, I shall give him that glory again to see if he cane back to life again. After saying this, the God of Devils returned and sat down on his throne and said in a deep voice, Agarez, pass my orders. Half of the Moon Devil n and Star Devil n will be divided. You choose 20 Devil Gods to apany them, and then ask Samigina and Marbus for more than 200 people above level seven to go with me tomorrow morning. Po. Father. Po, who was standing by, hurried forward a few steps. The God of Devils gave him a cold look and said, You will also go to battle, I will send you 20 people as pioneers. Go tonight, your task is to find the exact location of Long Haochen and his army and wipe it out when we get there. Yes. The excitement in Pos eyes could not be concealed and he immediately fell on one knee to answer the order. The God of Devils said in a deep voice, I know that you have always wanted to kill Long Haochen with your own hands. Over the past few years, your practice level has also advanced by leaps and bounds. However, you are a pioneer, do not rush forward, and do not rashly fight with Long Haochen. Its all about the army. If you are found by Long Haochen, you just need to lead your people to entangle him and send the news back at all costs. Yes, Father. After Po saluted the God of Devils again, he couldnt wait to turn around and leave. Looking at the figure of Pos departure, Agarez could not help speaking out. Your Majesty, his Royal Highness is in a very high spirit. I am afraid he might make some mistakes The Devil Emperor smiled calmly. How can there be progress without setbacks? He is my son, and Long Haochen cant do it even if he wants to kill him. Just let him touch Long Haochen a little. Id like to see which one of them is stronger. If Long Haochen hadnt spoiled my n, I would have passed on the position of the God of Devils to Po. Hearing him say this, Agarez was startled and immediately understood that his Royal prince should be stronger than he seemed. The God of Devils, Fengxiu continued, When you give orders, call Samigina, Marbus and Warlifer toe here. Yes. Agarez had vaguely guessed the purpose of the God of Devils action. He sighed in his heart, said nothing more, and quickly withdrew from the Devils Pce and went away. Modu had been preparing for this for a long time. At the order of the God of Devils, there was a surge of wind and clouds around the whole city. An hourter, the Fourth Pir of the Devils n, the Undead Devil God Samigina, the Fifth Pir, the Hell Devil God Marbus and the Sixth Pir, the Bear Devil God Warlifer excitedly came out of the Devils Pce. As soon as he left the Devils Pce, Warlifer waved his arm vigorously. Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, it seems that His Majesty still trusts us most! He gives us such an important task. Ha-ha! Im sure Agarez and Vashak are gloomily hitting their heads to the wall in their own pce right now. The Devils n 72 Pir Devil Gods were also divided into factions, the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God were known to all as good friends, while the rtionship between the Undead Devil God, the Hell Devil God and the Bear Devil God was even closer. Simplypare the overall strength of these groups, the overall strength of the Devils n, Hell Devils n and Bear Devils nbined would be even higher than the Moon Devils n and Star Devils n, because theparison in the Devils number was really out of proportion. But they were always at the bottom of the rankings. Samigina snorted coldly. Theres nothing to be happy about. Yes, we are on a good mission this time. But we must also seed in breaking into the human fortress. Dont think that humans are so easy to deal with. Moreover, His Majestys entrusting us with important tasks does not mean that he has more trust in us. Its that he thinks we cant threaten his rule at all. Hmm? Warlifer looked at Samigina somewhat puzzled, with an inquisitive look in his eyes. Chapter 805 - God Of Devils Plan (II)

Chapter 805: God Of Devils n (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Marbus, the Hell Devil God, said, Fourth Brother is right. Dont think that Agarez and Vashak only have the power of their own race. They are friendly with many Devils. Regarding their overall strength, we are no match for them at all. Moreover, the individual strength of Agarez and Vashak is the most important. If something happens, Your Majesty might choose new Five, speak carefully. Samigina red at him, and Marbus immediately drew back his words. Warlifer said curiously, Is Agarez really that good? Id like to see how good he is when I get the chance. Samigina whispered, You dont have to try, if my information is urate enough, even if the three of us add up, we may not be able to rival Agarezs opponent. What? This time, not only Warlifer, but Marbus was also taken aback. How can Agarez be so strong? Marbus asked with a lost voice. Samigina nodded and said, Hes stronger than you think. He did behave very humble in front of his Majesty. But in fact, I have reliable information that Agarezs practice level is definitely above level nine of rank seven, or perhaps even to rank eight. Havent you noticed? In thest hundred years, wherever His Majesty goes, he will certainly take Agarez with him. It seems that he has the closest rtionship with the second, but in fact, he is on the lookout for the second. Agarez and Vashak together can even pose a threat to His Majesty. Last time His Majesty tried to force Vashak to death, and he did it directly, not just because of Austin and Griffin. His Majesty really intended to change the Star Devil God. Vashaks practice level is not much lower than Agarez, and his great prophecy is too powerful in battle. It was at the Devils Pce that day, and the Devil Pirs of Agarez and Vashak were not around. Otherwise, they may even fight His Majesty. In the end, His Majesty failed to kill Vashak, and at that time I noticed that His Majesty looked at Agarez at least five times when Vashak carried out the prophecy of life. That was clearly a wary look. And, if I remember correctly, when the prophecy of life was carried out at thest moment, Vashak was able to use the power of a terrifying prophecy to attack. It was not that His Majesty was not sure of how to deal with both of them, but he was not sure his chance of winning over the battle if they two joined hands together. That was why Vashaks?life was saved at thest minute. Warlifers previous excitement disappeared after listening to Samigina. He always thought that although he ranked sixth, his practice level would not be much different from the other Devil Gods. Hearing what Samigina said, it turned out that Agarez and Vashak were so powerful that his morale suddenly dropped a lot. Samigina smiled and said, You dont have to be discouraged. Most of the time, too much strength does not necessarily mean a good thing. His Majestys practice level has reached an unimaginable level, and his future goal is to be a god and then pass his throne on to Po. Although Po has made rapid progress, it is still far from enoughpared with Agarez and Vashak. Do you understand? When Marbus and Warlifer heard this, their eyes lit up. Samigina saw that they understood. He then smiled and said, Maybe our ranking will change at that time. All right, lets go, no matter what you say, we must first finish the task given by His Majesty. This is an amazing task. The wealth of mankind is beckoning to us. Both the Temple Federation and the Devils were surging undercurrent, and an unprecedented war was in the silence before the outbreak. At the time of the discussion among Samigina, Po had already set out with 20 strong men of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n and headed north as fast as they could. ... Thats a good idea. Its much easier to move forward or retreat if its just us, Lin Xin said excitedly. Long Haochen nodded and said, Pass down the order. Han Yu, you will return with your legions and be ready to pick us up at the border outside Yu Longguan. Roger. Han Yu agreed and immediately got up and left. They had justpleted the destruction of the capital of the seventh northern province of the Devils, and the Legion of Sharp Knives had alsopleted its concentration here. Over the past seven days, it could be said that the Legion of Sharp Knives had moved to the north non-stop. They were like a strong wind everywhere they went. However, in terms of time, the Devils must have taken action. If they go further, they must attack the south, and they would be much more likely to encounter the Devil reinforcements. Therefore, after discussing with his friends, Long Haochen decided to let the Legion of Sharp Knives withdraw to Yu Longguan first, and he, together with the people of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and the Eternal Heroes, would continue to march on to the next province of the Devils. These people who were left behind were all the top nine, and no matter what happened, they could at least guarantee the speed of withdrawal. Even if they did not encounter the reinforcements of the Devils, the next target would be theirst battle to lure the enemy. Take a rest here for an hour, and then well leave for Garohang Province. Garohang Province was located in the north-central part of the Devils n. Although it was still far away from the central province, it was also parallel to the Jia Lingguan, where the Magic Temple located, and was very close to Yu Longguan. At this time, they were in a mountain depression a hundred miles outside the provincial capital of the Devils n, which had just been defeated. Although there were many ordinary soldiers in the northern provinces of the Devils n, it could be said that there were few who could pose a threat to them. Otherwise, they would not have been able to drive straight in and defeat six major provincial capitals in such a short period of time. ording to the news from the rear, the garrison stationed outside the Qu Moguan had deployed 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress them, but there was no Devil control. It was obviously just for camouge. If they really encountered, the defeated side could only be the Devils. Long Haochen let Han Yumand the retreat of Sharp Knives army. One of the purposes was to find an opportunity to give a heavy blow to this Devils army, to further reduce the pressure at Qu Moguan. Qu Moguan was now the most vulnerable out of Da Xiongguan, where almost half of the manpower was secretly transferred to another ce. However, there remained nine Eternal Heroes. Although the number of defenders outside Qu Moguan was more than that of Yu Longguan, their overall strength was far weaker from the 200,000-men army of the Devils that got defeated by Long Haochen outside of the Qu Moguan. The Legion of Sharp Knives was the real elite of mankind, coupled with the leading of Han Yu, the Sealed Divine Knight. They were not afraid of his opponent at all. Hmm? Long Haochen, who was thinking about the next countermeasures and judging the possible movements of the God of Devils, suddenly looked up and looked at the southeast with slight puzzled eyes. Although the cultivation of Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao surpassed him, in terms of mental strength, he was still the most powerful of all. It was not too much to say that he was even the most powerful of mankind. Being in the hintend of the Devils n, Long Haochen remained vignt all the time. The scope of his spiritual exploration was more than ten miles in diameter, and any movement would be noticed by him at the first time. A Devil ising towards us. Their strength is not weak, at least level eight. Long Haochen frowned slightly. Then Ill go? Caier asked Long Haochen. Long Haochen shook his head and said, No, well just wait for him toe over. That Devil came straight towards us and obviously he had already found us. If only one Devil dares toe to us, then that Devil must have something to rely on. I dont think he is here to fight us. At this point, there was a smile on his face and he thought to himself that if he guessed correctly, the Devil might be the one he had been waiting for. The other party came very quickly, and less than ten minutes after entering the spiritual perception of Long Haochen, that Devil already appeared at the top of the mountain beside the valley. Because it was in the valley, Long Haochens position was not so hidden. When that Devil saw them, he immediately stepped down, holding both hands high at the same time, showing that he was not hostile. Soon, she approached, from the physical point of view, it was a woman, the whole body was shrouded in ck, including the head, people could not see her appearance clearly. Stop. Yang Wenzhao stood up and with a heavy sword in his hand, he was blocking the path of the female Devil. The woman in ck stopped. I mean no harm. Long Haochen, you are still alive. As she spoke, she immediately raised her hand and took off the ck hood from her head. Although Long Haochen had guessed the purpose of this sudden encounter with the Devils n, when he saw the man in front of him, he still froze with an incredible look in his eyes. Why are you here by yourself? Stood in front of Yang Wenzhao, dressed in ck, was the favorite daughter of the Moon Devil God Agarez, the Moon Devil Princess, Yue Ye. Five years that they had not seen each other, Yue Ye did not seem to have any obvious change. The life span of the high-level Devil was much longer than that of human beings. Five years for her did not leave any traces of time. It was just that her eyes looked quieter, and her practice level was much stronger than before. It was at least the eighth-level peak, which was close to the ninth-level. How can I gain your trust if I donte in person? Yue Yes face had a trace of bitterness. Five years had passed, and a lot of things had changed. However, in her heart, the deepest shadow remained the same. At the beginning, after she got the news that Long Haochen had died in the war, she was immersed in deep grief for a whole month. She knew very well that the news she had brought to Long Haochen was part of the God of Devils trap. Not long ago, after she got the news that Long Haochen was not dead, she could not believe it. She could not believe that Long Haochen coulde back to life after the God of Devils had confirmed his death.. It was difficult for her to describe her feelings at that time, and she did not know whether she should be happy or vignt. Chapter 806 - God Of Devils Plan (III)

Chapter 806: God Of Devils n (III)

However, she finally came to Long Haochen five yearster. She almost had to be separated from him forever. And now that she got to meet him again, it felt like a lifetime she hadnt seen him. In the eyes of Long Haochen, Yue Ye had not changed much, but in her eyes, Long Haochen had changed tremendously. He was more dignified, noble and more mature than before. The immaturity had disappeared. Just by standing there, Long Haochen gave people a feeling of himself being the core of Heaven and Earth. It was this human being, who was not yet 30 years old, but had be a serious threat for the God of Devils. All of a sudden, Yue Ye felt a little proud, she fell in love with a man who was so extraordinary. Caier unwittingly came to Long Haochens side, she had no other expression, just stood there quietly, staring at Yue Ye. Yue Ye that gazed at Long Haochen finally came to her senses, and then a touch of sadness spread quietly in the bottom of her heart. Of course, she knew that there would never be a real intersection between herself and him. She took a deep breath to calm her mood before her eyes became firm, Long Haochen, are you still willing to trust me? Before Long Haochen opened his mouth, Si Maxian on one side whispered, How can we trust you? If it hadnt been for your news, how could we have fallen into the trap of the God of Devils? If it hadnt been for luck, we would have been wiped out. Yue Ye nodded silently. Yes, both you and I were victims of the God of Devils n. If you want revenge, then go ahead. Long Haochen, you have two choices now, one is to kill me and avenge what happenedst time, and the other is to trust me again. Yue Ye was looking at Long Haochen but Long Haochen was not looking at her. He had never doubted Yue Ye in his heart, but this suspicion was not profound. After the resurrection, Long Haochen had carefully deliberated the process of falling into the trap of the God of Devils at that time, which made him felt very strange, because he could not imagine how the God of Devils calcted that he was bound to be in the Devils capital. As for Yue Ye, she had no idea that she and her friends would be there before she went to Modu. And aftermunicating with her, the God of Devils soon took action. At that time, in their understanding, the God of Devils was still far outside Yu Longguan. Even if Yue Ye wanted to notify God of Devils, it was absolutely toote. Therefore, Long Haochen did not suspect that Yue Ye was deceiving him, but he could only say that Yue Ye was kept in the dark by the God of Devils. If you have anything to say, just say it. Long Haochen said faintly but he neither showed if he continued to believe in Yue Ye, nor did he me her for what happenedst time. Yue Ye looked at the more mature Long Haochen and said, Regarding what happenedst time, you must feel very strange. Are you wondering why the God of Devils has such an urate grasp of your whereabouts? I can tell you the answer now. It was because of the great prophecy of the Star Devil God. The great prophecy of the Star Devil God not only predicted that you will pose a great threat to the future of the Devils n, but also predicted that it is the only chance to kill you, and even he can see the method and process of dealing with you through the great prophecy. He figured out when you are bound to appear in the Star Devil Tower. And all that the God of Devils did before was to let your guard down. And this matter, only the God of Devils and the Star Devil God know the specific situation, even my father did not know. Long Hao understood something, then he nodded and said, I see. No wonder. Seeing long Haochen start to believe her, Yue Ye was slightly relieved. Remember the cooperation I proposed? Now you are the president of the Temple Federation, and you have a greater say in mankind. I am here to continue to fulfill our cooperation. Long Haochen said, So, do you think we can defeat the Devil Emperor? Yue Ye shook her head. No, from theparison of strength, I am still not optimistic about you. However, we are willing to gamble, because this may be the only chance. Once you are defeated by the Devil Emperor, then, at least in the next few thousand years, mankind will not have any chance to counterattack. Moreover, the great prophecy of the Star Devil God Vashak predicted that thest time it was the only chance for the Devil Emperor to kill you. And if you didnt die that time, it will be an important turning point in the decline of the Devil n. The great prophecy of the Star Devil has always been urate, which is one of the reasons why we are willing to gamble. Long Haochen said, I need to see your sincerity. Yue Ye nodded and said, Of course. The Devil Emperor has ordered that the Undead Devil God Samigina, the Hell Devil God Marbus, and the Bear Devil God Warlifer willmand more than 30 Devil Gods and lead millions of elite troops gathered by the Devils tribe to attack the southeast fortress and Wan Shouguan respectively. In order to break through the obstacles of the fortress and to go deep inside thebat of human beings, they mainly want to plunder human beings and their property. At the same time, the God of Devils ordered Po to be the vanguard, leading 20 Anti-Heavenly Dragon ns members on his way, while he himself is also on his way with most of the elites from the Moon Devil n and Star Devil n, as well as 20 Devil Gods and the whole Anti-Heavenly Dragon n. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 200 people with above level nine and about thousands of above level eight. In terms of time and Pos hatred for you, he will be here through Garohang Province in half a day at most. And the main forces like the God of Devils wille after him for about four hours. After listening to Yue Yes words, all the people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group could not help but be moved, one was because Long Haochen just had the right guess about the God of Devils dividing into two ways. The other was because of the terrifying power brought by the God of Devils. More than two dozen Devil Gods would fight against humans at the same time, which had not appeared for at least thest thousand years. Whats more, among them are strong people from Anti-Heavenly Dragon n, the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God. What a terrifying force it was to have two hundred strong people above level nine! It was almost ten times as much as they had now. The strength of the Devils n was clearly shown. They were even more surprised that Yue Ye did not hesitate to give them urate information, especially the exact time when the enemy would arrive, which was very crucial for their next action. On the battlefield, in many cases, urate military information was equivalent to a victory. Yue Ye didnt even talk about the terms or conditions, but she just said it. If what she said was true, even if the God of Devils was powerful, they could always find a way to deal with it. However, to the surprise of everyone and Yue Ye, Long Haochen still looked calm and said, I still dont see your sincerity. Yue Ye was stupefied at first, then said angrily, What else do you want? Do you think Im lying to you? I can guarantee with my life that everything I said is true. If you dont believe it, you can ban me until you confirm the information. If the information is false, you can do whatever you want. Long Haochen shook his head and said, Its not that I dont believe your information. That was only information but not enough sincerity. You are an organization, not just you. I also believe that after so many years of development, the strength of your organization should be quiterge. It should have a certain influence in the whole Devils n. Otherwise, you wouldnt havee to me so confidently, am I right? The sincerity I need to see is the sincerity of your organization, not just yourself. Therefore, I want to know who the real head of your organization is. If you will tell me, then I will believe you and our cooperation will be established. Long Haochen led the Legion of Sharp Knives into the territory of the Devils n, and the soldiers divided into six routes, which caused a heavy blow to the capital of the six northern provinces of the Devils n, but they did not kill too many Devils. He just wanted to show it to Yue Yes organization. He was waiting for them to contact him. It was just that he didnt expect Yue Ye that had been missing for long from the Devils n toe in person. After listening to Long Haochens words, Yue Ye suddenly looked a little pale. She suddenly felt that the distance between herself and Long Haochen seemed to be farther away, which seemed like it waspletely just for profit. Long Haochen looked at her with his calm eyes. A touch of sadness spread quietly inside her heart. Yes, there would not be any intersection between him and me. The rtionship between him and me was always just for benefits? Yue Ye understood that although the previous death of Long Haochen was not caused by her, that incident also made Long Haochen and his team had a strong dissatisfaction with themselves. She was right. Long Haochen really did not me her, and also knew that there was nothing wrong with her information. However, it was her information that put the entire Light Dawn Demon Hunter group in jeopardy. What really made Long Haochen feel bad about her was the pain that Caier endured at the Tower of Eternity in order to revive him. He often dreamed about it at night and when Long Haochen recalled Caiers experience inside that Tower of Eternity, he was so distressed that he couldnt breathe. It was normal for him to vent his anger on Yue Ye but instead, he was very rational. For the Temple Alliance to defeat the Devils great n, he did not me Yue Ye. Looking at Yue Ye standing there meditating, Long Haochen was in no hurry. He had plenty of patience to wait. Yue Ye came in person, in fact, it was already full of sincerity. But for their organization, the biggest secret was undoubtedly who was the head of the organization. Yue Ye once revealed that it was a Devil God. But the Devil God was also very different. The Devil God at the bottom of the list was not even as good as an adult Devil Dragon. The higher the ranking, the higher the status among the Devils, which meant that Yue Yes organization would be more powerful. Long Haochen was not sure whether Yue Ye would tell him. If Yue Ye still chose to not to tell, in the end, he would still also cooperate with her organization. And if Yue Ye were to terll him, then the rtionship of cooperation would naturally be closer. Chapter 807 - Yue Ye And Po’s Successive Arrival (I)

Chapter 807: Yue Ye And Pos Sessive Arrival (I)

Yue Ye contemted for a while before looking up again at Long Haochen. She suddenly said, I can tell you, but I can only tell you. And you have to promise me that only you will know, you cant tell anyone, not even your best partner, not even your wife. As she spoke, she looked at Caier with a slightly provocative look. Caier responded to her eyes calmly, as if she didnt mind it at all. Well, I promise. Long Haochen nodded without any hesitation. The identity of the head of Yue Yes organization was very important to him, it rted to the series of arrangements he was going to make. Yue Ye walked slowly towards Long Haochen, and this time Yang Wenzhao did not stop her. She walked until she was only three meters away from Long Haochen, but she was still walking forward. Long Haochen could not help frowning and said, It should be no problem for you to transmit sound at this distance. Yue Ye shook her head and said, Its important. Your buddies all have good strength. Im afraid theyll overhear me. With that, she had already arrived beside Long Haochen and leaned towards his ear. Although Long Haochen was a little embarrassed, it was of great importance, and he could not care for anything else. She exhaled some blue aura, and her body exuded a faint fragrance. It was perhaps from her running all the way here, so her fragrance was stronger than before. Long Haochen dodged a little, but Yue Ye immediately followed him, grabbed his arms with both hands, pulled his body lower, and whispered something in his ear. What? Its him? Long Haochen was taken aback when he heard Yue Yes words. Just then, Yue Ye suddenly kissed his earlobe, and then quickly receded. She moved very fast, but how could Caier who stood by watching her and Long Haochen not see it? All of a sudden, she got furious and said, You Yue Ye quickly retreated ten meters away and said to Caier, Whats the matter? You are going to upy his whole life, and Ive just kissed him. I like him. Caiers face suddenly darkened, and her sharp eyes tightened the heart of Yue Ye that she subconsciously took a few steps back. She clearly felt the strong sense of killing that burst out from Caier. Long Haochen had recovered from the shock at this time, and the earlobe was so crisp that he couldnt tell what it felt like. However, he didnt care about embarrassment at this time, because the answer given by Yue Ye just now was shocking. He naturally hugged Caiers slender waist and said to Yue Ye, You can go now. We will cooperate in an all-round way from now on. The first thing I need is for your organization to provide information. Not only to our side, but also to provide us with urate information on the offensive of the devil army against Wan Shouguan and the southeast fortress. The promise I made at first counts that if we can defeat the devils in the end, we will certainly leave you to organize a seaside province as a ce to live, allowing you to self-govern within five hundred years. It should be long enough for you to be fully assimted. Yue Ye smiled and said, You believe me now, but how can I trust you for your promise? Caier couldnt hold it any longer, so she scolded angrily, Haochen is as good as his words, isnt that enough? Yue Ye ignored her and just looked at Long Haochen. Long Haochen said, What do you want? Yue Ye smiled and said, Its very simple. She pointed at her pink cheek and said, Give me a kiss and Ill believe you. You Caiers anger was about to break out, but she was tightly hugged by Long Haochen. Usually Caier was actually very calm, but Yue Yes provocation this time had really touched the bottom line. She fully believed in Long Haochen but Yue Yes appearance was not under her level. It was Yue Yes flirting with Long Haochen that made her angry. Long Haochen hugged Caier, and his eyes became cold and said, You can go. The cooperation is cancelled. Yue Ye was stupefied. Did you ignore the future of the Temple Union for her? You are not a qualified leader if you do so. Long Haochen said indifferently, I am even willing to give up my faith for the sake of Caier. Besides, without your organization, cant we still fight against the God of Devils? Cooperation should be of both parties interests, and there is nomitment without cooperation. If you are willing to choose the road of destruction, I have no reason to stop it. Caier softened her taut body, lowered her head slightly, and took an apologetic look at Long Haochen. She no longer had the anger she had before. There was an obvious hint of disappointment in the eyes of Yue Ye, but the smile on her face was still there. Well, you are very affectionate about her. I was just kidding. I believe in your sincerity. I will hurry back immediately, and then our people will keep in touch with you. Be careful, Pos strength is very different from what he was before, and I heard that the God of Devils gave him some powerful weapon. With these words, she turned and drifted away and soon disappeared to the top of the side of the depression. What no one saw was that when she left, her beautiful eyes were already full of tears. Caier whispered in Long Haochens ear, Sorry, I shouldnt have Long Haochen sped her hand and said, What are you sorry for? The two looked at each other with a smile, and everything turned into a gentle breeze and rain, softening each others hearts. Shu Yongxiao took a nce at Long Haochen and hummed coldly, There are many temptations in this world, Xiao Long. You are in a high position, but you have to keep your heart. Caier, you have to keep an eye on it. Caier blushed slightly and said, I trust him. Long Haochen coughed and said, The news from Yue Ye is very timely. Our n needs to be redeployed. Since Po and the vanguard are about to arrive, lets give him a head-on blow. The God of Devils sent him to be in the vanguard, it was no doubt for the purpose to find our position. This war is inevitable, and we have to buy enough time for Han Yu and others to retreat. Xiao Huo said, The God of Devils is not good this time, bringing the strongest elite of the Devils n. More than 200 ninth-level strong fighters in the army, it is difficult for us to fight with our current strength. Should we call ourpanions back to Yu Longguan? Long Haochen shook his head and said, No. Now the situation of the Devils army attacking Wan Shouguan and the southeast fortress has not yet been confirmed, so we cannot mess the n from our side. First, we have to deal with the vanguard of Po, and then I must meet the God of Devils first. Only by figuring out the real gap between me and the God of Devils can theter n be easier to make. He didnt say it clearly, but Xiao Huo could see that Long Haochen already had a n, so he didnt say anything more. He just nodded and said, Now we can only make the next step ording to the situation. Po. Long Haochens eyes shed with cold light. He fought with Po twice, and the second time he remembered clearly. It was just in time for the awakening of Caiers spirit. He almost hurt Caier because of Pos attack, and himself was badly injured. If it wasnt for Ye Xiaolei, he didnt know what would happen in the end. But this time everythings different. The ck figure drew a ck ray in the air because the speed was too fast. Even if they had gone thousands of kilometers away, there was still a faint shadow in the air. Pos eyes narrowed slightly, and a me was burning inside his chest. Five years, it had been more than five years. He had been waiting for this day for too long. He put the God of Devils advice behind, and now he just wanted to have a hard fight with Long Haochen. He wanted to prove that he was stronger and better than Long Haochen. It was not only because Long Haochen had defeated him and brought shame upon him but he also hated Long Haochen for making his soon-to-be wife, Hao Yue, break the promise of marriage. It could be said that Long Haochen was Pos most important enemy in his life. If he did not defeat Long Haochen, he would not be able to get over this hurdle inside his heart. A ck figure suddenly flew from the front to meet Po and others. Prince. When the two sides converged, the oing shadow suddenly paused, then went in the opposite direction. It caught up with Po and their team and it did not slow down the speed of the whole team. Is there any news? Po asked in a cold voice. The ck figure was a strong man in ck, with purple-ck eyes under his thick eyebrows, a man possibly in his forties, dark skin and fleshy face. Compared with the Moon Devils n, the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n was more powerful, but when it came to appearance, they were not as good-looking as the Moon Devils n as a whole. ording to the information we have received, Tianluo City, the capital of Tianluo Province, was attacked just three hours ago. The capital was badly damaged. The granary got burned and many mineral resources were looted. I continued to follow for a while, about 10,000 human troops are marching northward quickly, it seems that they have a premonition that we wille, and they are trying to withdraw and return. Pos eyes gleamed fiercely, and with a big wave of his hand, he shouted, You lead the way and chase them! Finally! Po clenched his fist hard. His eyes shone with cold light, as the target appeared. He seemed to feel that Long Haochen was close at hand. After five years of waiting, they were finally about to face each other again. Po was more or less nervous in the excitement, but his confidence in himself did not waver. Faith was the foundation of defeating an opponent. If one was timid before the fight, one would already lose half of the battle. The sky was getting dark at this time, and the evening glow left a touch of red in the air, and the afterglow of the setting sun looked gentle and peaceful, which sharply contrasted to the ferocity of Pos heart. Long Haochen! The name echoed constantly in Pos heart, and under hismand, twenty members of Anti-Heavenly Dragons n speeded up in an all-round way and chased them to the north. Chapter 808 - Yue Ye And Po’s Successive Arrival (II)

Chapter 808: Yue Ye And Pos Sessive Arrival (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The twenty people of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n generally looked between 30 and 40 years old, with grim faces, and most of them were ferocious, but there was a kind of strengthing out from the inside out vaguely. They were all members of the ck Dragon Guard of the God of Devils, and they were also the backbone of the Evil Dragon n. This time, the God of Devilsunched all the main forces of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n in order to deal with Long Haochen. It might be because the individual strength was so strong that it was very difficult for them to reproduce. There were only a little more than 100 people in total. In addition to the old and young fromst year, there were about 80 or so adults in the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n, but the dragons had long lifespans, as long as a thousand years. As a result, theysted longer in their prime period. Despite the small number of people, every adult of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n was ninth-level strong, all of whom could be transformed into human beings. Coupled with the powerful nature of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons, their extraterrestrial powers exceeded 100,000. On the battlefield, the ck Dragon Guard of the God of Devils was a symbol of invincibility. All of a sudden, Po only felt as if his heartbeat missed a beat.. That feeling was very strange. He subconsciously slowed down his speed. The ck Dragon Guards also slowed down. Your Highness the Crown Prince, Huang Shuo,mander of the ck Dragon Guard, eximed in surprise. The God of Devils was well aware of the nature of his sons personality. With the increase of age, Po had be more and more calm. However, this action was about Long Haochen and it was difficult to say how his son would react. Therefore, God of Devils Fengxiu specially dispatched Huang Shuo to go along with Po, not only because Huang Shuo was strong, but more importantly because of his stable character and his assistance to Po. Po whispered, My heartbeat has just changed. Huang Shuo was surprised as Po inherited the blood of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n. His heartbeat changing was a warning. Stop. Huang Shuo raised his hand and slowed down with Po. The Anti-Heavenly Dragons that followed them also slowed down and stopped quickly. Pos eyes narrowed slightly, and his mental strength was fully released at the same time, raising the perception to the strongest level. With the spread of his mental power, he carefully explored the surrounding situation. Despite his eagerness to fight a decisive battle with Long Haochen, Po was after all the direct inheritor of the God of Devils and was born with strong dominance and wisdom. The appearance of warning signs also woke him up from his inner world. Huang Shuo came behind Po and pressed his right hand behind him. All of a sudden, the mental fluctuations of the two strong men instantly merged into one and explored the past in a further range. However, they still did not feel any movement. Did I think it was wrong? Po looked at Huang Shuo doubtfully. Huang Shuo said in a sinking voice, Its better to be cautious. Everybody stays vignt at all times. Also, at this time, suddenly, a ck awn quietly drilled out from behind the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n. It waspletely drilled out of the air. The ck awn shed away, and pierced straight into the back of the head of an Anti-Heavenly Dragon. For the ordinary ninth-level strong, they would perish without even making a sound, but after all, the Anti-Heavenly Dragon was ranked first among the strong family of Devils. The moment the ck Dragon Guard was stabbed in the back of the head, he screamed, and his body suddenly pounced forward at the same time. The force of darkness broke out in an all-round way. The ck awn disappeared into the air again, as if it had never been there before. The sudden upheaval immediately made the atmosphere extremely tense. All the ck Dragon Guards immediately reacted and quickly formed a circle, putting the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n and Po in the center. Everyone was facing outside. At the same time, the strong dark atmosphere broke out crazily again, and the area of hundreds of square meters turned ck in an instant. Even the slightest fluctuation in space would not be able to escape their dark aura. Huang Shuo had caught the ck Dragon Guard who was attacked. The guardunched a counterattack immediately after being attacked, but the enemys attack was too powerful. It was pierced from the lower part of the head and above the back of the neck. The head of the dragon was the hardest part of the body, only the bone behind the neck was slightly thinner, and the enemy was obviously well aware of this, so they chose to target this position. Huang Shuo just probed with his hand and felt that the attack had gonepletely deep into the brain of this ck Dragon Guard. There was also a sticky aura of killing left on the edge of the wound, and there was no blood flowing out at all. This ck Dragon Guard was dead. Huang Shuos face became extremely distorted. There were only a few dozen ck Dragon Guards under him, and each was a direct family and a real strong man. However, he died so inexplicably, no wonder he was in a bad mood. Since when do humans have such a powerful assassin? Pos eyes shone cold, but he didnt get angry. However, there was still a chill on his back. Just now he and Huang Shuo tried their best to explore in all directions, and the enemy was only close at hand, but still could not be found. This assassins strength was very terrifying. If he hadnt stopped in time and there werent other ck Dragon Guards around him, maybe that blow would have fallen on him. Could I have avoided it? Po could not give himself an affirmative answer. The purple-ck light began to shine from his chest, and then a thickyer of scales began to spread, covering the whole body in an instant. The same thing urred to the other ck Dragon Guards. It was just that the scales on Pos body were much thicker than the ck Dragon Guard, and with a pair of longhorns bending and extending above his head. The aura was extremely strong. The assassin was able to strike a fatal blow at close range and get away without being detected by us, at least that assassin must be level nine of rank five or above. But since when do humans have assassins of level nine of rank five? Huang Shuo said in a deep voice, his hands were trembling slightly because of his anger. If a member of the n died, that was the one percent power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n. What would the God of Devils think of him? Po said, Now is not the time to analyze whether mankind should be this strong. Our enemy has appeared, everyone be careful. At this time, the tension in his heart decreased a little bit, and with so many ck Dragon Guards on the alert, even the God of Devils could not touch him without being detected. Moreover, after the use of the Dragons Torso Armor, their defenses had been greatly increased. This Dragons Torso Armor wasparable to the defense of the best human artifact weapon. It was the most powerful self-defense ability of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons. Huang Shuo first put the dead body of his people into a storage device, and then said quietly, The assassin has gone. One hit and escape, killed in a second, what a super assassin. Prince, Im afraid we have a problem. I suggest we rest in ce and wait for His Majestys army toe. Otherwise, it is impossible for us to be vignt all the time while moving forward, and once we give the enemy a chance, they will certainly do it again. Po shook his head and said, No, we are at the front. Without stopping Long Haochen, or even figured out their specific movements, and just stopped here. Whats the use of asking us to be front? Just be careful and keep going. Huang Shuo also knew that it was really unlikely that he would be able to persuade Po to stay. But one of the ns members was dead. If the assassin were to show up again and kill one or two more, the God of Devils was bound to be enraged. Looking at Huang Shuos face full of hesitation, Po frowned slightly. Commander Huang, are you afraid? Huang Shuos eyes shed with anger. Of course not. But Your Highness, every member of our people is the most precious asset for Your Majesty and your future. I dont want them to take the risk. Po snorted coldly, I know that a powerful assassin hidden in the dark is very dangerous. But if we be cowardly because of it, we will only fall into our enemys trap. If I have guessed correctly, Long Haochen left the assassin here to dy our pursuit and give his subordinates a chance to escape calmly. Their attacks have reached the side of Tianluo Province, so it can be seen that they have been in a state of fighting over the past few days, and the army has long been wounded and tired. We must not miss this opportunity. Moreover, the assassin has killed one of our people, and only by moving on can we draw him out and avenge our people. Huang Shuo frowned. I have reservations. Po said strongly, Your duty is to assist me. Do not forget, I am the pioneermander. Keep going and keep the Dragons Torso Armor defensive. As he spoke, he stepped out of the circle and continued to fly forward. Although Huang Shuo disagreed with Po, he had to lead the ck Dragon Guards to follow him when he moved forward. All of a sudden, Po, who had just flown out of the sky, suddenly stopped in the air and looked ahead. Huang Shuo saw him stop and thought he felt the presence of the assassin again and hurriedly went to him. At the same time, ayer of dark light spread, making him and Pos position like a ck hole. This was Huang Shuos domain. Po was not attacked, but he only looked straight in one direction. Huang Shuo followed and his pupils suddenly contracted violently. In the distance, a white light spot was quietly suspended in mid-air. If one just looked at it randomly, it seemed like just a white spot. However, when one looked intently, it was a human being, a human being sitting on a chair. Before Huang Shuo opened his mouth, Po had already uttered a low roar. The next moment, the purple-ck me spurted behind him, and he rushed out thousands of meters away almost instantly. The figure suspended in mid-air was getting closer and closer. Dressed in a strong white suit, the handsome face was iparable even to the Moon Devil God Agarez. His hands were on the left and right armrests of the huge seat. Under the left hand was the bibcock, and under the right hand was the twelve-winged angel. The glittering white light wrapped around him and the huge throne like a glittering white ball of light. Chapter 809 - Yue Ye and Pos Successive Arrival (III)

Chapter 809: Yue Ye and Pos Sessive Arrival (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Ive been waiting for you for a long time, Long Haochen looked at the rapidly approaching Po and said with a smile. His voice was not loud, but every ck Dragon Guard could hear it clearly. Po stopped when there were still two hundred meters away from Long Haochen. His previous calmness was gone, and his fists pped. His whole bodys muscles and bones seemed to have erged. I havent seen you for more than five years. How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Long Haochen sat on the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and he had no intention of getting up at all. Im fine. Many thanks to you. Pos voice was cold and low, and behind him, the purple-ck light surged and rose in the shape of a fan, which was his strong aura of war. Long Haochen smiled calmly and said, I know you were unconvinced when you lost to mest time.. Well, I will convince you today. Po said coldly, I dont understand why my father values you so much. But Im sure hell be happy if I take your corpse to see him. Long Haochen said, The God of Devils has already killed me once. If you are really capable of doing that, then, please. Po had a purple light in his eyes and was about to start, but he was stopped by Huang Shuo. Get out of the way! Po shouted angrily. Huang Shuo sank. Your Highness. He is certainly not the only one here. Dont be fooled. We dont know where the assassin is hiding yet. We have to be careful. Your Majesty has said that when you meet Long Haochen, you dont have to fight him with all your strength. As long as you can hold him off, our task will be done. Get out of the way. Pos cold voice sounded again, and this time, there was a terrifying pressureing out from him, and the purple-ck light behind him waspletely condensed into a huge purple-ck bibcock shape. Huang Shuos face changed greatly and subconsciously stepped aside for a few minutes. Po did not immediately rush towards Long Haochen. He looked coldly at what he regarded as the biggest opponent in his life and said in a deep voice, Long Haochen, I havent seen you for five years. We meet again today. I know that you and your people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group must also be around. But this is a battle between you and me. Will you dare to ept my challenge? Long Haochen finally stood up from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and looked at Po. He nodded earnestly. Youre right, this is a battle between us. One on one. One on one. With a wild roar, Pos body swelled instantly. In the blink of an eye, his height had jumped to three meters away. While his muscles swelled sharply, his Dragons Torso Armor also soared rapidly, with purple-ck thorns constantly protruding from the joints. The double horns on the top of his head also had more than one circle of threads. A fuchsia glow appeared at Pos feet, and his momentum rose to its peak in an instant. The powerful atmosphere made the ck Dragon Guards subconsciously retreat dozens of meters behind, and the aura of Po, who belonged to the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n, was what they feared most. At this time, in the distant sky, one figure after another appeared from different directions. They were all more than a kilometer away. There were nine people in total, surrounded far away facing this side. Huang Shuo saw Caier with the Sickle of Death in her hand at a nce. It was her? Was she the assassin just now? As themander of the ck Dragon Guard, Huang Shuo was not only the most trusted member of the God of Devils, but also the strongest of the ck Dragon Guard. His perception was equally powerful, and as he looked around, he immediately felt who was the strongest in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. Caiers practice level was obviously not much weaker than his own. She might have broken through level nine of rank five, and she was also an assassin! Two against one. Go, go! Huang Shuo gave a low roar and gave the order to attack. The number of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group had increased, but this had made Huang Shuo feel at ease. Long Haochen and his hunting group had been informed of the performance in the Devils n. As a result, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was listed as the most dangerous opponent. Huang Shuo naturally knew them too. At this time, all the people of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group showed up and Long Haochen said that he would certainly fight with His Royal Highness, so Huang Shuo did not want to miss the opportunity to deal with Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. However, for the sake of safety, he would not do it himself, and he was guarding Po from afar. Eighteen ck Dragon Guards transferred into eighteen ck lights and jumped out in nine directions at the same time. Their bodies were like electricity, and they were also growing huge in the wind, each with more weapons in their hands, and those were all epic dark equipment. Nine members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group turned around and ran away almost without hesitation. Instantly they went far away Long Haochen. Hmm? Huang Shuo was startled. Are they splitting themselves and fighting individually? However, in addition to Long Haochen in Yu Longguan, only those Sealed Divine Knights posed a threat to their own people. It was still a one-on-one situation. But they are all here? No, its impossible. The Knight Temple must be guarded by the Sealed Divine Knights. Huang Shuo thought calmly and immediately changed the order and ordered all the ck Dragon Guards to maintain the pursuit in distance with their enemy, the pursuit range could not exceed a hundred miles. As soon as they get attacked by a powerful enemy, they must send a signal for help immediately. Just as he was arranging this, suddenly Huang Shuo felt a chill behind him. He rushed forward almost without hesitation, while his body whirled rapidly in the air. Swinging his right hand, a ck sword seemed to break the air and cut it behind him. A little bit of ck awn also appeared quietly in mid-air, just above the tip of his knife. Ding Huang Shuo trembled violently as if he had been struck by lightning. He only felt a cold aura pouring into his body and going along the long knife in his hand. Although his long knife was also a treasure, which could filter out the cold, it was as if the real chill invaded his body and would break out in the next moment. Killing aura There is an assassin who can force killing aura into my body? While Huang Shuo was stunned, his own domain was also fully deployed. As the strongest man in the ck Dragon Guard, he was unique in domain control. Instead of spreading his domain out, he instantly formed a ck shield that enveloped himself. The ck defense was like a ck crystal eggshell, firmly protecting Huang Shuo inside. And that bit of ck awn disappeared in the air again after the attack. A cold sweat ran down Huang Shuos forehead. It was not Caier. The assassin just now was definitely not the one who led his own people away before. But he definitely killed one of his own people. Her assassination was so terrifying. Had it not been for Huang Shuos instinctive reaction to run forward in the first ce, he would have been secretly killed by the other side. Even so, his whole body was still ravaged crazily by the cold killing aura. Not only transferred from the long knife, but also from the back of the head. It was only after he released the domain that he felt a chill in the back of his head. Obviously, if he had moved slowly, he would have died. What frightened him the most was the mysteriousness of this assassin, who never stayed after the attack. The assassin did not continue to attack, and just disappeared in broken space. He had no idea of the location of the assassin. How could such an opponent not frighten him? For a moment, he could not think about other eighteen ck Dragon Guards. He concentrated on feeling the subtle changes around him, and constantly changing positions in the air. He was afraid that the assassin would strike again. No matter when, ones own life was still the most important thing. The battle between Long Haochen and Po started long before Huang Shuo got attacked. A purple sword appeared in Pos hand. His purple sword looked very special because its twinkling light was a gradual change of color that Long Haochen had never seen before. Gradual changes of the purple color. If the purple color changed from dark to light from the inside to the outside, it would not be that astonishing, but on the contrary, the color of the purple sword changed from light to deep from the inside to the outside. Therefore it was very eye-catching and intimidating. The purple giant sword, with a magnificent brilliance in the air, disappeared in the next moment. On the other hand, Pos body had already appeared behind Long Haochen. It was not until now that a series of sonorous sounds sounded in the air. What a fast speed. Long Haochen was taken aback. With the reminder from Yue Ye, his estimate of Po had been very high, but he still did not expect that Pos strength would be this strong. In the moment of sh, blue light spit out from Long Haochens chest and soft green light directly sucked Long Haochens Lunar Shield in front of his body. This blocked Pos attack. Otherwise, in the case of Long Haochensck of preparation, even if he could withstand this blow, he would have to suffer a small loss. The aura of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation suddenly skyrocketed, which made Po standstill even when he was ready to return andunch an attack again after he had justpleted a blow. Then, he saw that the integration between the thirteen regiments of light and Long Haochen had beenpleted in an instant. The Eternal Armor. Long Haochen also had the Sword of Eternity in his hand. Green, colorful, clear and white, tricolor balls of light hovered slowly around his body. The bibcock and the twelve-winged angels on the left and right shoulder of his Eternal Armor shone their eyes as if they were staring at Po. Is this the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation? Po asked coldly. Long Haochen nodded. It seems that you have improved a lot in the past few years. If I guess it right, your practice level has reached level nine of rank four. Moreover, the physical strength is also of the same level. Only you Anti-Heavenly Dragon folks can reach this. Chapter 810 - Po’s Imperial Weapon? (I)

Chapter 810: Pos Imperial Weapon? (I)

For the current Long Haochen, his inner power of level 9 of rank 4 was not the frightening part. The terrifying thing was that his extraterrestrial power was also level 9 of rank 4. Pos terrifying speed just now did note from his inner psychic power, but from his body. Are you scared? Po said coldly. Long Haochen smiled and said, Just give it a try then youll know, right? As he spoke, his body suddenly became a little illusory. Pos subconscious moved his body, and the fuchsia glow under his feet suddenly lightened up, making his Dragons Torso Armorpletely purplish red. When the purple sword in his hand pointed in the air, two more Po appeared on both sides of his body, and they looked exactly the same as him. Body split up? This seems to be somewhat simr to Zhang Fangfangs Second Lifes furnace. The three Po bodies flickered at the same time, but instead of attacking Long Haochen from different directions, they formed a sharp triangle and rushed towards Long Haochen. Three purple swords were held high at the same time. Only the central handle had the gradual change of light, and it was obvious that Po did not intend to hide his body from Long Haochen. Ding The Sword of Eternity stood up and blocked three giant purple swords, which only made a small sound. The strong aura of life suddenly burst out from Long Haochen, and then the Sword of Eternity in his hand turned turquoise, and thousands of blue lights burst out in an instant that swept all three bodies of Po away. At this moment, Po felt as if his body had been under a green waterfall, and this irresistible power immediately surprised him. Just as Long Haochen underestimated him, he also underestimated Long Haochen. Three Sword of Eternitys All Things Resuscitate. Among the three light balls around Long Haochens body, the green light balls had been fully integrated into the Sword of Eternity. The turquoise light stayed in the air for five seconds before it gradually dissipated. Po reappeared 300 meters in front of Long Haochen, looking a little embarrassed. The two separate bodies had already disappeared, and there were at least 20 scorch marks crisscrossing on his Dragons Torso Armor. You are no match for me. Long Haochen raised his head slightly and looked down at his opponent. Po snorted disdainfully, Its still too early to say that. Do you think you can hurt me with this level of attack? As he spoke, the fuchsia glow under his feet shone again, and when his Dragons Torso Armor turned fuchsia, all the scars on it disappeared. Strange domain. Long Haochen smiled. He didnt seem to be in a hurry at all and did not have any intention to initially attack. This time, the purplish red light did not fade, and Pos eyes gradually became the same color. Behind him, dragon wings slowly spread in the sky, which unexpectedly turned into a purplish red colorpletely, and then, a mighty pressure burst out from that purplish red color. Long Haochen bore the brunt of it, and his body was unexpectedly pushed out a kilometer away by this intimidating pressure. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation emitted a glowing white light up to a foot thick, which protected Long Haochens body from that pressure. Not far away, a dark figure shed a hundred meters behind Huang Shuo. Unexpectedly, he was forced out of the hidden space by that intimidating aura. Although she immediately ran away and hid, she could still see how terrifying that pressure was. Imperial Weapon? Long Haochen blurted out. This time, Po really brought him a surprise! The fuchsia light in Pos eyes was burning like a me, and a column of fuchsia light lit up in the middle of the dark space behind him. The thick pir of light was more than a mile in diameter. The moment it appeared, the originally bright sky turned into darkness. The moment the huge pir of light rose, the sun disappeared as if it had been shot down. The whole body appeared as a huge purplish red pir of light, inscribed with countless strange runes. The most important thing was that on top of this huge pir of light, there was a giant dragon presented as a fuchsia. The terrifying pressure even caved in the air that made the sky distorted. The appearance of this huge pir gave people a strong sense of shock. This is the God of Devils Devil Pir? Long Haochen was surprised. Is it possible that Po has inherited the throne of the God of Devils? No, no. However, the purplish red pir clearly emits the same smell as the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. You didnt expect that right? Long Haochen. Po looked coldly at his opponent in the distance, and the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir shed fuchsia behind him gave off an unprecedented confidence. I am the heir of the God of Devils, the future seventh God of Devils of the Devils n. My father gave me part of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pirs power. Although all I can do is a mirror image of the pir, I can still use a third of its power. Enough to defeat you. With a purple sword in his right hand and one finger from his left hand in the air, a purplish red light fell from the sky onto the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir behind him, which instantly fell on Po. The purplish red dragon on the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir seemed to be alive and pounced on Po with a roar. The thick purplish red made the surrounding air shattered and exploded. Pos body, covered with Dragons Torso Armor, was instantly covered with a fuchsia armor. This fuchsia armor seemed to have everything to do with dragons: the helmet was a dragon head, every part of the body was covered with thick dragon scales, and the shoulders were two huge dragons ws. The purplish-red light flowed which made it seem like the armor was alive. Even his purple sword was covered with fuchsia scales. Long Haochen did notunch any attack on Po in the process of this change. He just watched quietly. This was only a third of the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. If the God of Devils were here, the power would only be more terrifying. The ability shown by Po at this time also happened to let Long Haochen personally experience the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. Covered by this fuchsia light, Pos whole temperament also changed. The momentum of terror rose in a straight line around his body and a fuchsia electric light flickered, densely covered with a fuchsia power grid. Thebination of darkness and lightning, this was the real power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n. At the same time, Long Haochen had an instant judgment. The Sword of Eternity in his hand pointed at Po, and suddenly, a white light grantly broke the darkness under the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir and severely fell on Po. The Light of Judgment. Po looked at Long Haochen coldly but did not even resist. With a loud bang and a ssh of white light, he raised his Purple Dragon Sword at Long Haochen as if nothing had happened. The crystal clear milky white light also burst out from Long Haochen at this moment, it was the domain of Eternity. Under the slight change of Pos face, the glittering white light lit up behind Long Haochen almost instantly. The bright and moist white light expelled the darkness brought by the purplish red light on arge scale. It formed a confrontation with the terrifying Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. At the next moment, Long Haochen and Po started almost at the same time. The two figures collided like lightning in the air at the junction of the two domains. Boom At the moment of the collision between the Sword of Eternity and the Purple Dragon Sword, as if the sky had copsed, the whole world became instantly dark and pale for a short while. Huang Shuo ran away in an instant in the distance, and although the powerful assassin might appear around him at any time, he did not care about it. Po, who triggered the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, waspletely above him, plus the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation driven by Long Haochen. The explosion at that moment was really horrifying. Long Haochen and Po were not bounced off by that terrifying force, and the fuchsia giant sword and the glittering white giant sword seemed to be glued together in the air. Long Haochen and Po confronted each other at such a close distance. The forces of darkness and lightpeted with each other. The two sides refused to give way, and there was a full collision between the domain of Eternity and Pos Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain. This was a contrast of pure strength. Under thepletebination of equipment, external powers and inner powers, the two sides went all out to resist the pressure of their opponents. Po waspletely above long Haochen in terms of external spiritual power, but now he was the one with a ferocious look. Long Haochen held and the Sword of Eternity in both hands there as motionless as a mountain. No matter how much Po pushed with his own strength, he could not push Long Haochen back. Long Haochen did not push forward, he was just gazing at Po. This allowed the domains forces of the two to have full contact. Huang Shuo was nervously wary of the assassin who might appear at any time, while watching the battle between Long Haochen and Po. He could see that although Po had activated part of the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, he still seemed to be inferior to Long Haochen in terms of overall practice level. However, for some reason, Long Haochen didnt seem to go all out. The intense situation made Huang Shuo, themander of the ck Dragon Guard, forget one of the most important things: what happened to the other ck Dragon Guards? However, no one could me him. After the collision between the domain of Eternity and the Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain, all spiritual powers were strongly disturbed within dozens of miles, and it was difficult for him to contact others even if he wanted to. Not to mention that there was an extremely scary assassin who was like a maggot in the tarsal bone. At the same time of the battle between Long Haochen and Po began, the ck Dragon Guards who were in charge of pursuing the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group also went into action. Among them, the ck Dragon Guard who chased after Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi was the most rxed one. Yang Wenzhao stepped off the Brilliant Star Unicorn, spread his wings and fled into the distance. He flew away with all his strength. However, there was still a big gap between the Brilliant Star Unicorn and the Anti-Heavenly Dragon in terms of speed. The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Chapter 811 - Po’s Imperial Weapon? (II)

Chapter 811: Pos Imperial Weapon? (II)

The Anti-Heavenly Dragon was the first kind of Devils n. The individual strength was strong, coupled with the God of Devils strong control over the whole Devils n. Each one of them was very proud. After the two ck Dragon Guards chased Yang Wenzhao for a while, they found that his practice level was much lower than they had imagined. It was because the Brilliant Star Unicorn he rode barely squeezed into the eighth-level threshold at most. For the knight, the strength of the mount partner would increase with the improvement of the knight, unless the initial choice was a low-level mount. Although it was very unlikely that the Brilliant Star Unicorn would be promoted to the ninth level, the powerful Brilliant Star Unicorn could also reach the eighth-level peak level in adulthood. Additionally, Yang Wenzhaos mount had just been promoted to the eighth-level, which meant that Yang Wenzhaos own practice level was almost impossible to be the ninth-level. ck Dragon Guards were all ninth-level strong, not to mention, their terrifying extraterrestrial powers were also more than 100,000. As the two guards were getting closer and closer, their disdain was getting stronger and stronger. Was it worth it for the two of them to fight together against such a weak human being? Yang Wenzhao looked back at them, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, and that he was about to enter the attack range of the other side. He seemed a little anxious, prompting the Brilliant Star Unicorn to fall down quickly as there happened to be a mountain forest below. He wants to escape with the help of the mountains? There was a ferocious and cruel look on the faces of the two ck Dragon Guards. One of the guards raised his right hand, and a dark light fell into the forest below. The light burst about a hundred meters from the forest, and ayer of ck fog fell down. All of a sudden, arge area of the forest began to wither and erode, and it turned to ck and disappeared. Brilliant Star Unicorn seemed to be frightened. Its wings were a little unstable and it fell sharply. The two ck Dragon Guards were also elerating their speed at the same time without hesitation. They wanted to kill this human quickly so that they could get back to work. Suddenly, the panic-stricken Brilliant Star Unicorns wings were less than 50 meters from the ground. At the same time, Yang Wenzhao shone with gold and injected his spiritual power into the Brilliant Star Unicorn to help it stabilize its shape. It regained control of its bodys bnce. However, by doing this, his speed was greatly affected. Two ck Dragon Guards quickly came near. They even disdained to use their weapons, and the ck Dragon Guard on the left waved his right hand and made a false grab to Yang Wenzhao. All of a sudden, in mid-air, a huge ck dragon ws shadow took shape instantly, with a width of nearly ten meters, and went straight to catch Yang Wenzhao and the Brilliant Star Unicorn. Yang Wenzhao suddenly turned around, in his hands, each with a glittering orange sword. Gold turned into a faint light fog that burst out of the sword in an instant. It made him shine like a huge sun on the back of the Brilliant Star Unicorn The Light of the Holy Sun. This was a inherited skill, which originated from the original Sealed Divine Knight of Defense and Coordination of the Knight Temple, Yang Haohan. The intensity of the instant shining sun made the two ck Dragon Guards felt intense burning pain all over their bodies, and they also lost their vision temporarily. The two ck Dragon Guards shot at Yang Wenzhao almost at the same time. However, the Brilliant Star unicorn retracted the wings and fell like a freefall again. He avoided the attack of two ck Dragon Guards. At the same time, six light spots of different colors flew quietly from the jungle below from six different directions. Six rays of light instantly intertwined in the air to form a huge magic array, and shrouded the two ck Dragon Guards who had temporarily lost their sight. The ck Dragon Guard was the most powerful force under the hands of the God of Devils. When the attack failed, they immediately felt something bad. The two ck Dragon Guards held hands and let out a roar at the same time. In the loud roar of the dragon. The virtual shadows of two huge ck dragons hovered around their bodies in an instant, guarding them. Before their visual recovered, they did not hesitate to use their strongest defense skills, the Dragon Body Protection, and it was a joint effort of the two. Therefore, the defensive power was beyond imagination. Unfortunately, they did not know what kind of opponent they were facing. In an instant, the six figures came to six directions, representing blue water, red fire, cyan wind, yellow earth, ck darkness and golden light. The six elements gathered together, and they were six powerful warriors with a strong burning soul in their eyes. The aggressive skills from ancient times would explode in the next moment. Six lights crisscrossed in an instant. The six-colored hexagram star made by them shone brightly instantly. The six strong men were like the six stars which lined crisscrossing in the hexagram. The founder of this formation was Electrolux, the God of the Deaths, the scourge of the undead. Its name was Elemental Zigzag. At the moment of the deployment of the formation, the six strong men had already disappeared, and the six colors of light were sketched immediately when thest point was connected. A huge pir of light in the outline of a hexagram suddenly rose into the sky,pletely engulfed the ck Dragon Guards bodies from below. It was toote for the ck Dragon Guards to react at this time. The ck Dragon Body Protection instantly turned into six colors, followed by their solid but not infinitely defensive bodies. Yang Wenzhao, who had already controlled his body below, looked at the six-colored hexagram rising into the sky, and his heart beat faster. What a terrifying power! At the same time, he also waved his right fist hard. He made it. He and Duan Yi had recently reached the bottleneck of level eight to level nine, and with the help of the Legion of Sharp Knives, they all had a feeling that a breakthrough was imminent after several great battles. Looking at the elements in the air, Yang Wenzhao seemed to feel that he had grasped the most important point. The experience of Duan Yi was almost the same as that of Yang Wenzhao. However, he did not have the Brilliant Star Unicorn as a mount, so he escaped at a slower speed. Therefore, the only difference between him and Yang Wenzhao was that he blocked an attack by the ck Dragon Guard with a shield and was spurted with blood. However, he managed to elerate and escape. The two ck Dragon Guards were greeted by the six wizards. The elemental charm of magic was even more terrifying than that of the warrior, because it was slightly less powerful in terms of attack, but it could appear from a long distance. Both ninth-level but in terms of physical strength and weapons, the Saints from the Tower of Eternity were no match for the ck Dragon Guards. However, the ck Dragon Guards also couldntpare to them in thebat experience, the tacit cooperation and attributes. They had the upper hand. Even in a one-on-one situation, it was not easy for the ck Dragon Guard to kill the Sacred Saints, not to mention the six-on-two on current asion. Come on! Chase me! Im so scared. While flying in front, Lin Xin teased the two ck Dragon Guards behind him. He was a magician, and although his flying speed was quite fast, he was still inferior to the two Anti-Heavenly Dragons who were born to fly. However, the two ck Dragon Guards just couldnt catch up with him. It was because, above Lin Xins head, there was a blue sun, and fireballs continued to fly out, which did not seem to be powerful, but the flight distance was very long, at least beyond the attack range of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon. And the explosive force was strong, and the temperature was extremely high at the same time. So much so that the two ck Dragon Guards were so anxious by his provocation but they could not get closer to him. Among the ck Dragon Guards, strength was also divided into strong and weak. Perhaps Lin Xin was unlucky. Among the two ck Dragon Guards who chased him, one was a ninth-level of rank two, and the other was a ninth-level of rank three and was a strong domain user. After a series of provocations, the two ck Dragon Guards were angry. The ck Dragon Guard with level nine of rank three roared up to the sky, and then revealed himself in a sh. A huge ck dragon more than 30 meters long appeared in mid-air, with fuchsia eyes shining fiercely. Hispanion immediately rode on the back of the dragon, pped its wings and rushed to Lin Xin at full speed. Ayer of dark light spread from his body as he moved which formed a huge dragon shape up to 100 meters long. This was the signature domain of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n, the Devil Dragons domain, almost more than 70% of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons could use this domain. With the power of the Devil Dragons domain, Lin Xins bursting fireballs lost its functionpletely. It exploded inside the domain, and one couldnt get an inch inside it. Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, the smile on Lin Xins face became stronger and stronger. Im so scared. Oh, thats not right! Why should I! I have medicine. Two figures quietly appeared behind Lin Xin. At the same time, Lin Xin threw a pill into his mouth. Then, the two ck Dragon Guards saw the most shocking scene in their lives. The blue sun above Lin Xins head exploded in an instant, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a huge blue light mass with a diameter of 100 meters. The hot temperature made the airpletely watery, and even made the two Anti-Heavenly Dragons unable to see Lin Xin clearly. They had no idea what Lin Xin had done, but the next moment, a huge dragon head emerged from the huge blue sun with a diameter of 100 meters. The dragon head was naturally blue, and the length of the head alone was the same as the length of the dragon casted by the Anti-Heavenly Dragon. How big was a 100-meter-long faucet? It upied almost all of the scorching sun in the sky. Fiery eyes stared at the rapidly approaching Anti-Heavenly Dragons, and the blue me burned crazily, as if it was angry because of the provocation of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon. The two ck Dragon Guards already felt that something was wrong which made them want to turn away and run. However, a huge suction ruined the possibility of their escape. The huge blue dragon head opened its mouth and made a whale swallow. Chapter 812 - Po’s Imperial Weapon? (III)

Chapter 812: Pos Imperial Weapon? (III)

Within a range of ten miles in diameter, numerous small spots of light suddenly appeared, all of which were strange sights caused by the condensation and appearance of fire elements. And these tiny spots of light all flew towards the huge blue fire dragon head that was swallowing. These two dragons could not escape. After all, they were powerful creatures and one clearly felt that the situation now wasnt good. One ck Dragon Guard roared and used Dragon Body Protection while the other one desperately pped its wings trying to break free from the control of the blue dragon head. They couldnt fight back now because the aura emitted by the blue dragon head was at least level nine of rank six. It waspletely beyond what they couldpete with. With the joint efforts of the two Anti-Heavenly Dragons, they seemed to be escaping bit by bit from the power of suction. But because they were trying to escape, they turned their back to the terrifying dragon head, so they did not see that the huge blue dragon head was getting brighter and brighter. No. The two ck Dragon Guards roared in their hearts at the same time, unable to see behind them, but they could feel the change in temperature. Just as fear appeared in their hearts, the terrifying suction suddenly disappeared. And the whole space seemed to be frozen for a moment. Next moment, a huge blue fireball with a diameter of nearly 100 meters became the background of the two ck Dragon Guards. Who said fireball was a low-level magic? It depended on the volume and the degree of cohesion, and etc. Two Anti-Heavenly Dragons were like two small bugs, engulfed by the huge blue fireball. After the fireball went straight forward and then rose for thousands of meters, it bloomed in the air with a more eye-catching brilliance than the sun. The sky shonepletely blue. The huge dragon head slowly shrank, and the Holy Suns domain disappeared. Lin Xin and the two figures behind him reappeared in the sky. Feeling the sticky fire element in the air, the two Eternal Heroes around Lin Xin could not help taking a long breath. Even with their knowledge for thousands of years, they had never seen such a terrifying fireball. And they helped Lin Xin create this fireball. Xiao Lin, your Holy Suns spell was really scary! The wind and water wizards among the Eternal Heroes appeared around Lin Xin. It was the wind wizard who wanted to bestow his inheritance on him. Lin Xin smiled and said, It turned out to be so enjoyable after my practice level became stronger. Thank you. The water wizard smiled and said, What I am more curious about is that this conjoined elixir you have refined is effective for us necromancers. Lin Xin said proudly, They all call me Youyao Brother. In terms of strength, I am not as good as the eldest brother, but when ites to this refined medicine, I am the strongest one in the group. As long as I have spiritual power, the elixir effect of my conjoined body can be released. The two Eternal Heroes were both strong men of level nine of rank five. Under their joint growth, although Lin Xin could not bear all their strength for physical reasons, his practice level still advanced to the terrifying level nine of rank seven. The powers of the Holy Suns domain and the Holy Suns spell naturally sharply increased, thus leading to the situation just now. There were the eighteen Eternal Heroes, Twelve Sacred Saints, nine members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, and the Queen of Light Elves, Ya Ting. Long Haochens overall strength was at least more than double that of Po. Under such circumstances, how could Po and his vanguard have half the chance? The reason why the people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were only allowed to appear on the battlefield was to show the enemy that they were weak. The real goal was to divide the devils into small groups and then wipe them out. If it was a head-on collision, seeing the situation being worse than they expected, the devils might run away. With the strength of the ck Dragon Guards, there was at least no problem of running away. And Long Haochens goal was to wipe them all out. Every time one killed a ck Dragon Guard, it was equivalent to weakening the power of 1% of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n. How could Long Haochen give up such a good opportunity? Of course, it was not only in these three directions, but also there was a battle in every direction chased by the ck Dragon Guard. It all ended in an overwhelmingly good way. In fact, the failure of the vanguard could notpletely me Po and Huang Shuo because how could they expect Long Haochen to be in charge of such a huge strength? ording to the Devils ns estimation of human beings, the total number of human beings at level nine was no more than 200, and they had to defend in the six temples. In this raid by Long Haochen, the main force of the strong was the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, and there were at most a few more ninth-level strong in Knight Temple. However, the Knight Temple also had to defend itself, and the army couldnt retreat withoutmand. Therefore, Huang Shuo thought even if Long Haochen had an ambush, the threat to the ck Dragon Guard would not be too great, or at least there would be no problem for them to retreat. Six thousand years since the establishment of the ck Dragon Guard, it had been almost invincible in the Holy Land. So, Huang Shuo was somewhat careless. How did he know that Long Haochen had brought almost the strongest main forces of mankind this time? Even the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group itself was not something that people like them could defeat. The Twelve Saints, together with the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, would not lose ground in number and fight. If Long Haochen went all out, he would certainly be able to defeat the vanguard of the Devils n. Among the strength brought by Long Haochen this time, the most terrifying ones were the Eternal Heroes who had been sleeping for thousands of years. Among the eighteen Eternal Heroes, two were at level nine of rank seven, and the rest were all above level nine of rank five. Each of them had a domain of strong self-cultivation, the domain for me. The emergence of such a force on any battlefield had a terrifying force to turn the tide of the war. During the first Holy War, the God of Devils had a premonition that there was a powerful force hidden in mankind, which had never been used. Even the level of the God of Devils would have the feeling of panic, which showed how horrifying the overall strength of the Eternal Heroes was. Whether it was Xiao Huo or Shu Yongxiao, they were all old, strong, and wise. On the previous battlefield, they were mostly hidden behind the Light Dawn, so even if the news came back, it would be difficult for the devils to know that there was such a hidden power on the battlefield. At this time, the real forey of the decisive battle took action, and for the first time in the history of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons, they suffered a great loss. One-on-one, the Eternal Heroes could easily defeat the ck Dragon Guards with their fortitude, not to mention the fact that they were still hidden on the side, and waited in ambush. Along with the power the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, they had an overwhelminglyplete advantage. How could they fail? Po and Long Haochen confronted each other, and the swords of the two sides were still fighting against each other. Long Haochen looked at Po coldly. He was in no hurry. The more powerful Po exploded, the stronger his resistance became. In the process of confronting each other, the Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain and the domain of Eternity continued to produce distorted light, so much that even Huang Shuo in the distance could not see the situation in which they confronted each other clearly. Po clenched his teeth so much that it even gradually gave off ayer of blood. Long Haochen was so strong. He already tried his best, the Purple Dragon Sword in his hand continued to burst out of a terrifying dark thunder. With the increasing power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, it made an impact on Long Haochens defense crazily. However, Long Haochen was still so motionless, no matter how Po strengthened his practice level, he was still unable to defeat the other side. To what extent has the cultivation of Long Haochen reached? Is it the increase of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation? Anyway, I cant lose. The obsession inside Pos heart made him furious. With a sharp bite on the tip of his tongue, a mouthful of dark purple blood was sprayed on the Purple Dragon Sword in his hand. All of a sudden, the purplish red light skyrocketed, and Long Haochens pressure increased sharply, while watching the frightening Purple Dragon sword slowly press over. The Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain behind Po also began to have a trend of cohesion gradually. The huge Anti-Heavenly Dragons pir also seemed to fall down, and the domain of Eternitys oppression gradually retracted. Be sure to win, no matter what it costs. This was the only thought on Pos mind. I finally have the upper hand! The feeling that the Sword of Eternity was pressed back bit by bit made Po overjoyed and subconsciously took a look at Long Haochen. What he wanted to see most was the panic and despair expression of Long Haochen. However, he was disappointed because what he saw was a pair of calm golden eyes, terribly calm, as if nothing in the world could shake his peace. Its almost time. Long Haochens inexplicable words made Pos heart tighten for a moment. Just then, he heard a strange sound. Boom A powerful heartbeat like drum beating suddenly sounded in Pos ear, and before he knew what it was, a force that could not be countered suddenly burst out from Long Haochens Sword of Eternity. Then his body was blown upside down. It didnt stop until his body hit against the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the sky. Long Haochen was still suspended in air, and the bnce between the domain of Eternity and the Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain had returned to the previous state of bnce. However, Pos heart hadpletely sunk to the bottom. It was because no matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he knew that he was no match for Long Haochen. He went all out but it did not have any effect on Long Haochen, instead Long Haochen shocked him. The blow to his body was not heavy, but the blow to his spirit was unparalleled. Looking at the calm Long Haochen, Pos mood was extremelyplicated at this time. With a fierce roar, he held the Purple Dragon Sword high above his head and spurted out a mouthful of fuchsia blood. No, Prince. In the distance, Huang Shuo finally saw what happened when the two sides separated. His face changed. Just when Huang Shuo wanted to rush to stop Po from having another fight with Long Haochen, a ck figure which had been calm for a long time, appeared quietly again, and at the same time, a golden figure also appeared. One stood still and one followed after. Chapter 813 - All Things Resuscitate Wisdom Furnace Version (I)

Chapter 813: All Things Resuscitate Wisdom Furnace Version (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Dark silence, only a light touch, calm and silent. The brilliant gold turned into a giant eye in an instant, blooming countless golden luster. At this moment, Huang Shuo finally realized what kind of opponent he had encountered, and suddenly seven words appeared in his heart: space walking, nine levels of rank seven. If there was a special way for an assassin to hide in the dark, then that assassin could travel through space to a certain extent. However, a knight could also do this without being discovered by him, and the only exnation for that was also the same. Despair spread instantly in his heart. Huang Shuo roared wildly andunched thest attack of his life, the attack to burn both jade andmon stone. Po could not see what Huang Shuo was doing. Nor did he hear his voice. After a mouthful of fuchsia blood spurted out, it was different from the moment before it merged into the domain. It turned into a fuchsia symbol in the air.. The symbol was slightly twisted, as if an earthworm had folded several times, with several strange tips on it. The fuchsia symbol returned instantly and fell lightly on Pos forehead. Suddenly, Pos forehead lit up, fuchsia turned into a bright and transparent gem luster. Countless light edges spurted out from his forehead, and the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir became much clearer in an instant. Seeing this scene, Long Haochens face also changed. He fought against the devil many times, and of course he could feel what Po had done. This was the devilsst resort. The Devils Disintegration Method? Po looked at long Haochen coldly, and his momentum grew wildly, and when there was lightning around his body again, he immediately tore open cracks in space. The terrifying power distorted his whole body. Swollen muscles and sturdy blood vessels began to lift up the armor driven by the Devils Disintegration Method. Long Haochen did not expect that Po would have such a strong obsession to defeat him. Generally speaking, a Devil God would never use the Devils Disintegration Method unless he was at the end of his life. After using this secret method, even if he did not die, the practice level will be greatly reduced, and the source would also be damaged. Although Po was the heir of the God of Devils by blood, it might be possible toe back in the future. However, after exercising the Devils Disintegration Method, he would not be able to recover to the present level in at least the next ten years. Under such circumstances, he exerted such secret methods for only one purpose: to enhance his strength to the highest point he could reach, and to kill Long Haochen. A touch of coldness appeared in the depths of Long Haochens eyes, and he also raised the Sword of Eternity above his head, and the glittering white brilliance shone. The momentum of Long Haochen was unexpectedly rising at an astonishing speed. At the same time, the strong heartbeat that had appeared before also appeared again. Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom A mass of green brilliance constantly burst out this powerful sound in Long Haochens chest, and the green luster became more magnificent after it was refracted by the sacred stone of Eternity on long Haochens chest. And every time his heart beats, his practice seemed to soar, and the speed of aura improvement was not much different from that of Po after the Devils Disintegration Method. Pos eyes were very cold, and he didnt seem to see the upgrade of Long Haochen. What he saw was what Yue Ye looked like when she refused his marriage proposal and what Long Haochen looked like every time he was defeated by Long Haochen. It is either make or break. At this moment, Po hadpletely forgotten all his responsibilities as the Prince of the Devils, and in his mind, his only obsession was to defeat the opponent in front of him and break him to pieces. The Purple Dragon Sword gradually turned into blue and purple, and the terrifying lightning sword gradually became a substance, condensed on the sword into a symbol of thunder and lightning. With the crazy surge of the aura from both sides, their domains also began to collide violently, pushing each others bodies farther and farther away. The stillness of Long Haochens eyes contrasted sharply with the hysteria in Pos eyes, and they all knew that the next collision would be earth-shattering and would determine the result. Huang Shuos dead body was quietly suspended in mid-air and was carried by Xiao Huo. After death, the Anti-Heavenly Dragon would return to its original appearance. Huang Shuos body was nearly 50 meters long. Unfortunately, he didnt have any strong aura anymore. In front of the two strong men of level nine of rank seven that existed for six thousand years with countless experiences, Huang Shuos hope at his level nine of rank seven to die together with them was just a joke.With the strength of the two first-generation masters of the Temple Alliance, Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, how could he be given that chance? The reason why Xiao Huo didnt give in a hand and Yonxiao was just involved in the fight a little bit was to not let Huang Shuo and Po find out about the battle in other directions and hold them here. Xiao Huos attack meant that the battle in the other nine directions waspletely over. The Eternal Heroes still did not appear, but in different directions in the distance, the people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group wereing back at full speed, just in time to see the confrontation between Long Haochen and Po. The Sword of Eternity flickered slightly in the air, and the turquoise light slowly fell on the tip of the sword. Suddenly, the turquoise brilliance flowed down from above, rendering the Sword of Eternity into turquoise. The sacred stone on Long Haochens chest also burst out a blue light, and unexpectedly, it made the Eternal Armor into the same color in an instant. Even the domain of Eternity had been affected by the change of the Eternal Armor, which had changed from glittering white to green. The thick aura of life spread outward. Even Po felt quitefortable breathing it. At this time, Long Haochen was no longer like a human being, but more like a God of Nature falling from the sky, and the rich natural aura was no less than the original Dream Paradise. Take my attack! Long Haochen shouted in a deep voice. Innumerable blue light rushed in the air in an instant, the domain of Eternity turned into a huge green vortex, with its tip marching forward, and the thorn went straight to Po. The Three Swords of Eternitys All Things Resuscitate. However, this time, it was quite different from the original All Things Resuscitate. It was because this sword was full of life and natural vor, the power that belonged to the Goddess of Nature was added to it. The power of the Wisdom Furnace! Almost at the same time as Long Haochen started, Po also moved. His movements were more simple, direct, a re-chop. The Purple Emperor Heavenly Frights Chop. The huge purple light wasing like a drill. The terrifying fuchsia extended in the air, and it no longer looked like spiritual power at all, but an extension of power made entirely of precious stones. Chapter 814 - All Things Resuscitate Wisdom Furnace Version (II)

Chapter 814: All Things Resuscitate Wisdom Furnace Version (II)

As soon as the Purple Emperor came into contact with the All Things Resuscitate, it moved forward quickly with a crushing force. The turquoise vortex split into two, skimming 100 meters from both sides of Pos body, one after another. The bright purple luster chopped straight to Long Haochens body. At this moment, even Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao could not help but get nervous. At this time, even with their practice level, they would be of no use in this battle at all. Long Haochen could only rely on himself. In the distance, the people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group could not help but exim. At least from their point of view of the situation, Long Haochen waspletely at a disadvantage! Long Haochen was suspended there, motionless, and the Sword of Eternity sword in his hand had disappeared. The fuchsia de swept over him. No Caier shouted in despair. But her voice stopped abruptly. It was because Long Haochen suddenly disappeared into a wisp of green smoke in the air. And until this time, they found out that Pos Purple Emperor chopped the All Things Resuscitate in half, but the huge turquoise was also fully integrated into his Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain. Soft green instantly collided and the next moment, the sky suddenly lit up. Unexpectedly the Anti-Heavenly Dragons domain got suppressed so much it disappeared. Even the reflection of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons pir was twisted by the thick aura of life. Countless blue lights exploded in the next moment. A strange and vibrant phantom began to appear in the sky. It seemed that in midair, there were countless nts growing fruitfully in the sky. All the negative emotions were swept away immediately with this thick vitality, and the ones who felt most deeply were Long Haochenspanions. Everyone in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group felt as if they were back in the Dream Paradise. Everything around had turned into a vibrant turquoise. Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao looked at each other, and they both felt a strong shock from the fire of each others souls. It turned out that this was the real power of Long Haochen! The power of the All Things Resuscitate at that moment had reached above level nine of rank eight. Although he used the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the Imperial Weapon itself was a part of his body, and even the Imperial Weapon could not have ascended so much. Long Haochens own wisdom furnace yed a key role. The All Things Resuscitate merged with the power of Ye Xiaolei, and the light and shadow of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the air gradually became illusory and shattered. Long Haochen once again appeared in front of everyone. Behind him, the figure of Ye Xiaolei impressively appeared much more magnified. At this time, Ye Xiaoleis eyes were all hazed from tears. She seemed to see her home again, but she also recalled the scene when her home was destroyed. Po was the son of the God of Devils, and had a very simr smell to the God of Devils. How could she not go all out to help Long Haochenunch thatst blow? The blue light gradually faded, and the rich aura of life returned to the body of Long Haochen like the rivers flowing back to the sea, and finally disappeared at the eternity stone, and the figure of Ye Xiaolei also diluted and disappeared. Po was right in front of Long Haochen, but now one third of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pirs power he had before was greatly downgraded. Even the Dragons Torso Armor was broken in many ces, and the horrifying scars flickered with a faint blue light all over his body. Pos eyes were already very dim, and there was no brilliance in the gloom. His Purple Dragon Sword was still in his hand, but it was less than one third in its original length. He lost the battle. Even in the state of Devils Disintegration Method which helped to improve his level, he still lost to Long Haochen under Long Haochens All Things Resuscitate. The damage to the body was far less than the pain in Pos heart. Kill me, just kill me Po suddenly shouted at Long Haochen. He didnt understand why Long Haochen didnt kill him. Long Haochen could have killed himself just now. Is he going to keep me alive and humiliate me? With his roar, all the wounds on his body ripped open, and Pos body had beenpletely stained purple with his own purple blood. However, the self-healing ability of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n was really strong, and the blood stopped by itself only a few seconds after the wound ripped open. However, the injury inside Pos body was not so easy to heal, and the oue of the Devils Disintegration Method was frantically engulfing his origin. Long Haochen looked at Po coldly, and he knew that from this moment on, the Prince of Devils could no longer pose a threat to him. When he left Po alive, he naturally had a purpose. Last time in the Star Devil Tower, the God of Devils did not kill my friend. Ill return the vor now. Go back and tell the God of Devils that I am waiting for his arrival. Six thousand years of darkness ising to an end. As he spoke, Long Haochen waved his hand and a huge force mmed into Po, pushing him away into the distance. Seeing Po leave, Long Haochens heart gradually calmed down. It was not easy for him to win this battle, and while Po was bombarded by him, a touch of blood flowed down from the corners of his mouth. Pos final attack also hurt Long Haochen. However, Long Haochen still seeded in hiding some of his more powerful attacks. He was facing the Prince of the Devils n rather than the God of Devils; therefore, he would rather get hurt than open all his cards, especially if he did not intend to kill Po. Five years ago, in the Star Devil Tower, Long Haochen did not understand why the God of Devils did not attack hispanions. Instead, at that time, the God of Devils just let them go. If the God of Devils had killed everyone at that time, it would be a lot harder for Long Haochen toe back to life and meet hispanions underground. No matter what reason the God of Devils had, Long Haochen did not kill Po today to return the favor and so that Po would tell the God of Devils that it would be a life-and-death struggle if they were to meet again. What Long Haochen did not know was that Po had the seal of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons n. If he really wanted to kill Po, then the scene that once appeared in the Dream Paradise would be repeated. Looking into the distance, the me in the heart of Long Haochen gradually weakened down. Caier went close to Long Haochens side. She hit hard on his shoulder, and then threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. Chapter 815 - Confronting Yu Longguan (I)

Chapter 815: Confronting Yu Longguan (I)

A Holy War was inevitable, and the war between humans and Devils had only just begun. After simply cleaning the battlefield, Long Haochen and hispanions quietly disappeared at the end of the sky. A total of 20 ck Dragon Guards, including Huang Shuo,mander of the ck Dragon Guards, were defeated in the previous battle. Without a minute of dy, Long Haochen took hispanions quickly towards Yu Longguan. At the same time, he asked Caier who could move the fastest to catch up with the Legion of Sharp Knives in front of him and ordered them to speed up and get back to Yu Longguan. Although the vanguard of the Devils n was destroyed, Long Haochen still felt uneasy. This was just the beginning. The news from Yue Ye was proved to be true, therefore, it automatically also confirmed the reliability of her other news. The God of Devils wasmanding nearly two hundred strong members of the ninth-level from the Devils n to besiege and kill Long Haochen. Now he could only choose to retreat quickly to Yu Longguan and defend it with the strength of Da Xiongguan. They couldnt defeat the Devilspletely in a single battle. What long Haochen needed to do was to wait and persevere. When the God of Devils saw Po, his face became distorted that he was on the verge of dripping blood. Po looked so embarrassed that he couldnt even fly in the sky and just walked on the ground. At this time, he stumbled like an ordinary human. When Po was defeated by Long Haochen, the God of Devils felt it, but the seal on Po was not opened. Thus, he thought that Long Haochen and Po had a draw because he could not think of any reason why Long Haochen did not kill Po if Po had failed. When he saw his son walking alone in the wilderness, the God of Devils, Feng Xiu knew at that moment that he was wrong. He knew Po too well. If Po and Long Haochen were both defeated, he would never look like this. He would certainly try his best to heal his wounds and quickly brought the news back himself. But now he waspletely like a walking corpse. The usual domineering confidence could no longer be seen on Pos face. All there was were dull eyes and sluggish steps, just like a puppet. Pat The God of Devils pped Po so hard that his body flew away. If the Moon Devil God Agarez hadnt hurriedly stopped him, his right hand would have hit Po already. Po was pushed out dozens of meters by this p and hit hard on the ground. Gulps of purple blood and clots spit out from his mouth and he fell straight into aa. The God of Devils was also surprised. Of course, the God of Devils did not hit Po with full strength. Po was his sessor and his own son. A p that seemed to be very hard was actually more of a physical force. But Pos situation was clearly not that trivial! There was no need for any persuasion from the Moon Devil God Agarez. The God of Devils body shed, and he came to Pos side. He waved his right hand towards Po, and Pos body slowly rose up and was suspended in front of the God of Devils. Ayer of dark purple light enveloped the father and son. A momentter, the dark purple light dissipated, and Agarez saw clearly that the ck and golden light in the eyes of the God of Devils had been swallowed and puffed three times in a row. He understood that this was a sign that the God of Devils was extremely angry. For the time being, whether it was the Moon Devil God, the Star Devil God, or the other 20 Devil Gods, they were all silent. The atmosphere did not allow them to breathe. The God of Devils looked at Agarez and whispered, Po is useless now. What? Although Agarez had guessed that Pos situation was not good, he was still shocked when the word came out from the mouth of Feng Xiu. Po was the only heir of the God of Devils at present! Since Pos practice level broke through the ninth level, the God of Devils had been paving the way for his session. How can it be for nothing? Not only Agarez, but all the Devil Gods were stunned. They all had simr thoughts. The prince left with 20 ck Dragon Guards. Now only the princees back alone with serious injuries. What about the ck Dragon Guards? Are the strong members of the first race of Devils unable to protect their prince? Whats more, Pos strength is not weak! Cant believe they didnt get out. How could that be? His Royal Highness is rted to you by blood, so he can borrow your strength when necessary, Agarez said inexplicably. Feng Xiu, the God of Devils, said coldly, He has closed the aura connection between us. After using the great Devils Disintegration Method, he was badly injured. Even if I were to heal him myself, I wont be able to restore his previous condition for at least 20 years. Hell never be able to reach my level his entire life. Asmod. Your Majesty. Among the Devils ns 72 Pir Devil Gods, Asmod, the Dragon Rider Devil God ranked 32rd, quickly stepped out and respectfully responded. Asmond made Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi suffer a great loss and wiped out the demon hunter group to which they each belonged. Long Haochen rescued those two, and fell into the trap of the God of Devils and the Star Devil God. You take him back to Xincheng, and then bring Leng Xiao to see me. While talking, the God of Devils handed Po to Asmods hands, and the dark golden light in his eyes twinkled again. Asmod carefully took over Po. The Devil Gods were still silent. They understood the meaning of the God of Devils words. This was the end of Pos chance to inherit the throne! The God of Devils had a son and a daughter. Was he going to make his daughter be the next heir? Indeed, even if she was not as talented as Po, twenty years was enough for her to leave Po far behind. Whats more, the God of Devils anger was not about practice level. Father Just as Asmod was about to turn and leave, Po woke up from hisa. After the treatment from the God of Devils, his injury was stabilized. At least it was no longer life-threatening. Feng Xiu looked at his son coldly. Youve disappointed me so much. Po showed a trace of bitterness in the corner of his mouth. Father, I lost. I lost to Long Haochen. Even when I used the Devils Disintegration Method and the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, still, I was not able to defeat him. The God of Devils said, Tell me the whole thing. And what about Huang Shuo and the others? Po said with empty eyes, I dont know where Huang Shuo and the others went. At that time, there was only Long Haochen in my eyes, and my opponent was only Long Haochen. Then I unleashed the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. Atst, Long Haochen asked me to tell you that he was waiting for your arrival. Six thousand years of darkness ising to an end. He also said that he did not kill me only becausest time you didnt kill hispanion in the Star Devil Tower. The God of Devils took a deep breath slowly. The dark golden color in his eyes slowly converged, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a very special emotional fluctuation,plicated and struggled. Agarez had been silently watching the God of Devils, and other Devil Gods dared not disturb him. After a long time, the God of Devils waved to Asmod, the Dragon Rider Devil God. Asmod understood, and then turned away with Po in his arms. He really didnt want to stay in front of the God of Devils for too long. There was too much pressure. What a pity. Instead of getting angry, the God of Devils let out a sigh. Is Your Majesty sorry for Po? In fact, His Royal Highness still has the possibility of recovery. When the war is over, I am willing to do my best to assist Your Majesty in treating the crown prince, the Moon Devil God Agarez said. The God of Devils shook his head and said, It is not him that I felt sorry for. Po has a strong personality, but the deficiency of overall vision has always been his downside. I wanted to influence him imperceptibly. But he is still not able to fix that shoring and look at what happened now. He is no longer qualified to be the future master of the Devils n. It is a pity that the contradiction between me and Long Haochen ispletely irreconcble. Otherwise The God of Devils paused. Agarez suddenly shook his body and thought of a possibility, because he suddenly remembered what the God of Devils had said in the Star Devil Tower. The God of Devils waved his hand. Lets go. Id like to see how this Long Haochen will end the dark age. As he spoke, he stepped out in the air and fell back into his dragon chair. It was the 32 ck Dragon Guards who were responsible for carrying the chair. More than a thousand figures were on the road again, and they did not need the orders from the God of Devils. Their speed increased sharply as they went straight to the north. The Moon Devil God Agarez was worthy of being the second ranked Devil God. In the process of moving forward, he had sent several Moon Devils to the capital of the six northern provinces to control the situation. It looked as if he was seizing power, but everything was ordered in front of the God of Devils, which made him seem to act openly and everything he did was aboveboard. The God of Devils seemed to bepletely ignorant of all this, and just sat silently on his dragon chair, as if he was thinking about something. . Temple Federation, southeast fortress, War Department. Qiu Yonghao was in the first position. Although he had passed the position of the master of the Soldiers Temple to Wang Yuanyuan, he was still in charge of the Soldiers Temple. On the left-hand side, there were nine Eternal Heroes, and on the right-hand side were the strong men of the Warriors Temple. From the way the strong men of the Warrior Temple looked at the other side, one could see that they had great respect for these nine Eternal Heroes. The reason was simple. These nine Eternal Heroes were all warriors, and their chosen sessors were all in this southeast fortress, the children of the high echelons of the Warrior Temple. Moreover, among the nine soldiers, the highest was level 9 of rank 4, and the lowest was level 9 of rank 3. Everyone was absolutely strong for the Warrior Temple. Through this period of contact, since Qiu Yonghao, the senior level of the Warriors Temple could be said to admire the nine Eternal Heroes. These nine grandparents had never been arrogant. Nor had they been involved in any major decision-making. Everything was under themand of Qiu Yonghao. At the same time, while they taught their inheritors, they also did not hesitate to impart their own practice andbat skills to the young children of the temple of other excellent soldiers. Only some of their unique teachings were passed on to the inheritors alone. Chapter 816 - Confronting Yu Longguan (II)

Chapter 816: Confronting Yu Longguan (II)

It could be predicted that with the teachings of these nine seniors, the growth of the younger generation of the Warriors Temple must be much better than that of Qiu Yonghao and his generation. These nine Eternal Heroes had won the highest respect from all of the top ss. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, leads 16 Devil Gods. Themander of the elite army of 500,000 Devils is approaching us day and night. ording to the messenger, they will arrive at the southeast fortress in about three days. I invite you here today to discuss specific countermeasures. Qiu Yonghaos words immediately made the atmosphere in the War Department be tense. Although they had long spected that as the nearest stronghold to Modu, the God of Devils was likely to make them a priority target. However, the arrival of the Devil army still made the high levels of the Soldiers Temple very nervous. After all, in the past, the southeast fortress where the Warriors Temple was located had been attacked the most and was also the weakest among the six fortresses. The army of Devils came furiously this time, and the number of Devil Gods alone was sixteen. There was a tremendous pressure on the Warriors Temple. Is the information urate, Master Qiu Dianzhu? the old man who sat in the first position among the nine Eternal Heroes asked quietly. Qiu Yonghao nodded and said, The news is very urate. It was sent by the chairman. At the same time, ording to our own scout, the information is very reliable. Senior Ye, do you have any suggestions? The old man, named Ye Sanmie, who was at level nine of rank four, shook his head slightly and said, We are only responsible for fighting, and you make sure about strategies and tactics. However, I would like to remind you that the Warriors Temple is a mix of six professions, which is different from before, and there should also be changes in strategy and tactics. Understood, Qiu Yonghao replied respectfully. He was really not afraid of Samigina, the Undead Devil God. At present, in the southeast fortress, there were more than a hundred thousand of the six professionals and nearly 500,000 troops. In terms of quantity, it was not inferior to the Devils n. Even if the Devil army was extremely elite, the southeast fortress was built to be more defensive than before ording to the federal policy after the previous Holy War. And they had the help from nine Eternal Heroes. He was not sure about confronting the Devil n on the in, but when it came to guard the southeast fortress, Qiu Yonghao really had a lot of confidence. One by one orders were quickly sent. ording to Long Haochens overall strategy, if the southeast fortress encountered the Devil armys attack, then there was only one goal: defense. It was enough to drag the army of Devils there and avoid their own losses as much as possible. The same strategic deployment also appeared at Wan Shouguan where the Temple of Soul was located. Wan Shouguan did not receive much military support, but the Jia Lingguan, where Wan Shouguan and the Magic Temple located, had always been the most difficult to break through among the six fortresses. In addition, after the career change, Wan Shouguan was also equipped with six major professions, and Chen Hongyu also had the support of nine Eternal Heroes. He was absolutely full of confidence. He not only would defend , but was even thinking of counter-attack. With the continuous movement of human and Devil armies, the atmosphere of the whole Holy Land was bing more and more tense. However, the first to fight was not the collision between the armies of the two sides, but from the top power of more than a thousand Devilsmanded by the God of Devils. With their strong practice level, when they almost crossed more than half of their territory and arrived outside Yu Longguan, the armies of the Devilsmanded by the Undead Devil God and the Hell Devil God had not yet reached the fortress they were going to attack. In the distance, Yu Longguan was in sight, and Agarez, the Moon Devil God, came to the dragon of the God of Devils and asked him quietly, Your Majesty, shall we attack at once, or The God of Devils said calmly, Theres no need to hurry. Didnt Long Haochen deliberately lead me here? Ill see him first. Now well just find a t ce to camp here. Roger. Agarez greeted and quickly conveyed the order of the God of Devils. Although the Moon Devil God Agarez was the Second Devil God, he was now like a butler of the whole army. The will of the God of Devils waspletely aplished by him. This ce was still fifty miles from Yu Longguan. In the cold wind, exquisite curtains made of cooked cowhide were quickly set in the wilderness. All of them were very powerful, so their speed of setting up tents was very fast. If it were in the ordinary army, members of the seventh level would already have a very high status. However, in this team, the eighth level still could only be a handyman. Among the more than a thousand Devils, there were no seventh level members at all. The lowest was the eighth level. More than a thousand were of eighth level. What a terrifying force. The six temples of mankind might not be able to be put together this much. The eighth level could only share a tent with another member, and only the strong ninth level was qualified to own one tent alone. And the tents of the Devils were all in dark gold. Thergest one, of course, belonged to the God of Devils. The tent looked like a pce of the God of Devils. In this windy and snowy north area, more than a thousand Devils were well hidden when the night had fallen. However, when all the tents were built, arge number of Devils moved in one after another. Yu Longguan found them instantly because it was so eye-catching. Neen pirs of light shone instantly. Each pir of light was of different color and size, but even the shortest pir of light was 100 meters high, and the tallest purple pir was nearly a kilometer. This was the magic pir of the neen Devil Gods who had followed the God of Devils. When the neen magic pirs appeared, and their brilliance bloomed in the wilderness, the whole Yu Longguan was in a huge shock. Apart from the Eternal Heroes, all the strong men in the Yu Longguan had never seen such a magnificent scene. The neen pirs represented that neen Devil Gods hade to Yu Longguan. More importantly, the neen pirs formed a circle, and in the middle of them, a dark golden light loomed, connecting Heaven and Earth, just like the pir of Heaven supporting the sky. Although it was not clear, the majesty above could not bepared with the other neen pirs. Not to mention others, even Long Haochen, the president of the Temple Federation and the head of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, was deeply shocked when he saw this scene outside Yu Longguan. It was a lot different when seeing it in person than when they just heard and knew about its existence. Although he was very calm on the surface, he still felt repressed in his heart. The God of Devils, the invincible existence of the holy demon continent had finallye. He would eventually confront this horrifying existence. The high levels of the Knight Temple at Yu Longguan were all solemn at this time, even the Eternal Heroes. The news that Long Haochen led the Legion of Sharp Knives to return from the great victory of the Devils n was immediately spread throughout Yu Longguan and carried outprehensive publicity to the whole federation. As the federal president, his prestige soared for some time, coupled with the publicity of previous magical films. Long Haochens influence was much stronger than when he first became the president of the Federation. There had never been such a big victory between mankind and the Devil in the past six thousand years. However, at this moment, looking at the twenty Devil Pirs in the distance, the joy of previous victory was swept away. A temporary victory was never the same as a final victory. As long as the God of Devils still existed, it meant that this invincible existence was still there, then there would almost never be a day for mankind to win over Devils. It seemed that the God of Devils had brought two hundred ninth-level strong members and more than a thousand eight-level strong ones, but in fact, the one who really had the greatest threat and deterrence to Yu Longguan was the God of Devils. In front of thousands of years of stored power, human beings had the courage but not so much confidence. The atmosphere around Yu Longguan was dreadfully congealed. LongHaoChen. A low voice sounded, and a roar came. The momentum of terror seemed to make the whole Yu Longguan tremble slightly. Seeing the Devil Gods and Devils encamping in the distance, the high echelons of the Knight Temple thought he would notunch an attack immediately, but as soon as the sound arrived, everyone was surprised, and their eyes all focused on Long Haochen. Fifty miles apart, the voice of the God of Devils seemed to be close at hand. Long Haochens eyes squinted slightly, his pupil was bright, the body had already flown, and the golden wings spread out behind him, which immediately turned the head of Yu Longguan into a shining gold. GodofDevils. Long Haochens voice was very calm. Nobody could not sense any slightest mood fluctuation and it also spread far away. As he spoke, his body slowly flew higher into the sky. At the same time, a strong column of glittering white light fell from the sky and fell behind Long Haochen. The sky suddenly became like daylight, and the glittering white light spread instantly, driving away the darkness of the night, or at least the ce of Yu Longguan, which waspletely covered by this pure aura and soothed the fear in peoples hearts. In the center of the clear white light, a round of nine-color glow began to spread, with the nine colors so dazzling, sacred, noble, but also with a lot of dignity. In the center of the nine-color light, a huge Sealed Divine Throne appeared in mid-air. The nine-color light had a special aura and sparkled, but without any confusion. Vaguely, behind the Sealed Divine Throne, the nine colors gradually formed a circle of glows that shone with each other. On the other hand, the body of the throne had gradually be like the color of white jade. On the back of the chair, the subtle reliefs everywhere gave people an indescribable sense of beauty. At the top, there were the sun, the moon and the stars; the middle was the creatures of birds and animals, and the part that was connected to the seat was the scene of nature. A pair of seat armrests were sacred dragon statues and twelve-winged angels. Bathed in the light of the throne, the strong Yu Longguan only felt the fear in their hearts and could no longer feel any pressure from the twenty Pirs of the Devil in the distance. Chapter 817 - Confronting Yu Longguan (III)

Chapter 817: Confronting Yu Longguan (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Haochens body was still standing there, but with himself as the center, a huge human form was projected in front of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. This figure was 150 feet tall, and it was Long Haochen himself. Although it was only light and shadow, when his huge body slowly sat on the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, it covered Yu Longguan entirely. All greeted Long Haochen in the air with their highest etiquette. Fanaticism had reced their fear. The Devils n has an invincible God of Devils, but we human beings also have a brilliant leader, the Sealed Divine Knight, Federal President, Long Haochen! Long Haochen unleashed the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, which restored the morale of Yu Longguan and increased it at an astonishing speed. It seemed to be stimted by the aura of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. In the distance, the ck and golden light in the God of Devils dragon chair suddenly bloomed, and the God of Devils body grew slowly under the ck and golden light. It didnt stop until it was about the size of Long Haochen. A huge ck golden dragon emerged behind him and turned into a dragon chair that looked bigger than the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, carrying the body of the God of Devils. . The speed of your growth surprised me. It was my biggest mistake that you didnt die in that war five years ago. Although they were tens of miles apart, the voice of the God of Devils was still so clear, as if he said it directly to their ears. Long Haochen said calmly, A mistake is a mistake. I heard that the Star Devil God Vashak once predicted that it was your only chance to deal with me. That time, you did not seed, which means that the Devils n is bound to decline, am I right? As soon as the face of the God of Devils changed, the reply paused slightly. The great prophecy of the Star Devil God Vashak was the top secret of the Magic Devils n. How did Long Haochen know? Even in the Devils n, only a few Devil Gods at the top had heard of it. Is that for you to decide? Feng Xiu sneered. He did not refute Long Haochens words. As the God of Devils, he had never disdained to lie. However, for some reason, he felt a little uneasy after listening to Long Haochens reminder. At the beginning, Vashak said that it was their only chance to deal with Long Haochen. If they missed that time, Long Haochen would be much stronger, which would threaten the survival of the Devils n. Yes, it is up to me. Long Haochen gave the God of Devils an affirmative answer, and now he obviously couldnt appear weak. Feng Xiu suddenly smiled. Good. You are indeed my favorite young man. No one in your generation can surpass your talent and luck, whether it is my race or your human beings. Now you have really be something. Did the God of Devils just praise Long Haochen? Although it was a hostile rtionship, the strong human beings who closed Yu Longguan could not help but be proud of what the God of Devils said. That was the God of Devils! Invincible existence, the top strong man of the Devils n. You dont need to judge whether I have be something or not. Since this holy war is inevitable, I believe it will be a battle for mankind to turn things around, Long Haochen said coldly. The God of Devils smiled calmly, I did not overpliment you. I just said what I really think. You are good, but you are too young. I can kill you once, therefore, I can kill you again. Long Haochens eyes suddenly opened widely. Two cold lights burst out from them, and the huge body of 150 feet tall suddenly appeared sharper, like an open bow that could burst into the most powerful attack at any time. You can give it a try right now. As he spoke, Long Haochen stood up from the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Did he take the initiative to challenge the God of Devils? Not to mention the strong human beings nearby Yu Longguan were startled, even the other 19 Devil Gods in the distance were surprised. This Long Haochen was so arrogant that he dared to challenge His Majesty, the God of Devils. However, the God of Devils did not get angry and did not seem to have the intention to do so. He smiled and said, Ferocious in appearance but feeble in essence. I said you cant, you just cant. It surprises me that you can beat Po, but the gap between you and me is still huge. Since I found you here, you are already in my back pocket. But I dont really want to kill you. Let me ask you a question. Are Austin and Griffin still alive? Long Haochen smiled with some disdain. You are so confident that you can kill me. But you are still afraid of something? Of course, Hao Yue is still alive, it lives very well. The God of Devils also smiled. It seems that you have told me the answer. Yes, I dont deny that Austin and Griffin pose a great threat to us Devils. Unfortunately, the blood bond between him and you is connected, if you are dead, how can he still be alive? Long Haochenughed and said, Am I dead? Who is it in front of you then? The God of Devils said coldly, Its just an undead creature. Long Haochen gently shook his head and said, Your Majesty, you are too confident. Most of the time, its not what you think it is. What evidence do you have when you say Im an undead? The God of Devilsughed and said, Credentials? Of course not. Because youre not the undead anymore. Its just, you used to be an undead creature. Long Haochen also smiled, Your Majestys contradictory words are really ridiculous. The God of Devils shook his head and said, No, its not funny. I can tell you frankly that no matter I or any other Devil God, we are all really afraid of Austin and Griffin. But your situation has made it clear to me that it is indeed dead. In the Star Devil Tower, I destroyed your heart and you are dead. If I guess correctly, the reason why you were able to stand in front of me again must be that there was some special treasure in your body at that time that could hold your soul together. Maybe Austin and Griffin didnt really die at that time. After that, you came back to life with the secret method of the undead, but you were only an undead at that time, not a real existence. You can keep your soul together, but Austin and Griffin cant. He has no choice but to die. You are now a human again because you snatched the Goddess of Nature from me and reborn with a heart using the power of the Goddess of Nature. However, it has been five years since I killed you. In five years, Austin and Griffin should have died a long time ago. Listening to the analysis of the God of Devils, Long Haochen could not help but be stupefied for a moment. ording to the rules of the God of Devils and the blood bond, if he had survived with the heart of eternity, Hao Yue should have died. Unless he was not an undead creature, but Even though he didnt know what kind of existence it should be before his heart was reborn. However, the magical heart of eternity created by Electrolux made him no different from ordinary people, and even his practice was not affected at all. For a moment, Long Haochens heart was also full of doubts. Long Haochens reaction in the eyes of the God of Devils, was undoubtedly as if he had verified what he had said. Now that Austin and Griffin are dead. So, in fact, our biggest conflict is gone. The smile on the face of the God of Devils became even wilder. Although you have part of Austin and Griffins blood in your body, with its death, the power of this blood will gradually disappear. And in that case, I can give you a chance. Long Haochen woke up from his thoughts, and in a short period of thinking he seemed to have caught something. Was Austin and Griffin mentioned by the God of Devils and his Hao Yue the same creature? No, not exactly. The simplest point was that when Hao Yue was still weak, the reason why he was able to survive in the Holy Devil Continent was because of the blood bond with Long Haochen. In Hao Yues body was not only the flow of Long Haochens blood, at the same time, he was also supposed to be a dark element that had been adapted into the attribute of light. In that case, maybe everything would be different. Long Haochens guess waspletely correct. It was because of the attribute changes, so that the original Hao Yue could survive, gradually restored their own damage, and then evolved again. Light and darkness were two diametrically opposed forces, and the small light of the eight heads of Hao Yue could be said to be the closest to Long Haochen, because its power came entirely from Long Haochen. When Electrolux resurrected Long Haochen, he used the Heart of Eternity to preserve all the human characteristics of Long Haochen. He could not be said to be a real undead, but a semi-human and semi-undead state. On the other hand, the heart of eternity was formed by the huge power of light concentrated on the physique of the son of Light, and it was the crystallization of the study of magic of the undead in the whole life of the Deathly Hallows and the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. Long Haochens own soul and blood were fully restored and sublimated with the support of the heart of eternity. No matter how strong the practice level of the God of Devils was, he didnt know enough about the magic of the undead, and he was not clear that what helped Long Haochen resurrect was a terrifying man whose strength was not inferior to that of himself. That was why there was a deviation in his guesswork. Listening to some gentle voices of the God of Devils that insisted Hao Yue being dead, Long Haochen did not retort. What he needed most now was time. With each passing day, his practice level would increase to a considerable extent, and at the same time, the overall arrangement of the southeast fortress and Wan Shouguan would be progressing further. Outside Yu Longguan, it was highly unlikely for Long Haochen and his group to defeat the God of Devils and the horrifying strong army he brought here. Long Haochens aim was to drag the strong members in the Devils n here. Ideally, they should be trapped here until the end of the battle of the southeast fortress and Wan Shouguan ended, so that the Eternal Heroes and the strong members of the six temples would be able toe to support him. And until that moment, it was thest life-and-death battle with the God of Devils. Chapter 818 - Let Long Haochen be The God of Devils? (I)

Chapter 818: Let Long Haochen be The God of Devils? (I)

In order to buy more time, Long Haochen did not refute the words of the God of Devils. Instead, he asked curiously, Is there any chance between you and me? The God of Devils smiled and said, Of course there is. Maybe you dont know, but when I saw you for the first time, my intuition told me that one day you would grow up to make me look at you with respect. And that time, if I remembered correctly, it was at Qu Moguan. At that time, you were as weak as an ant. However, I can feel your talent and physique. If I wanted to kill you, it would only take a little effort. Do you think that those people can really stop me? The words of the God of Devils touched Long Haochen so much that he noticed about himself back at the time of the Qu Moguan. He couldnt help being surprised. It was really the first time he met the God of Devils! At that time, he was just a preparatory hunter, being tested by Qu Moguan, and he saw the God of Devils shown up for the first time. However, it never urred to him that the God of Devils at that time was able to notice such a weak hunter. Exactly like the God of Devils said, the first time that the two met was at Qu Moguan. Long Haochen believed his words, indeed, if the God of Devils wanted to kill him, it couldnt have been easier. Of course, the reason why I didnt kill you is not due to my innerpassion. It is because I want to train you so that you can really grow up. And the ultimate goal is to make you one of the heirs to my throne. Of course, at that time, even if you have a ce in my heart, you still ranked behind Po. As soon as this remark came out, Yu Longguan was in an uproar and sounded with disdain and outrage. The only one who did not say a word was Long Xingyu, whose eyes suddenly became ferocious, looking at the distant God of Devils with his fists clenched subconsciously, as if he were ready to rush out and fight desperately at any time. Are you talking in your dream? You are the darkness and I am the light. Long Haochens heart was also very confused. The God of Devils unexpectedly said to let him inherit his throne? This is nonsense, isnt it? However, thinking of the scene when the God of Devils was trying to killing him in the Star Devil Tower, Long Haochen seemed to feel something wrong. With the identity and status of the God of Devils, he would never shoot at random. The God of Devils smiled calmly. What is light and darkness? When the light burns out, it is darkness. You scrapped Po. I really dont have a suitable heir now. If you are willing to give up everything in the human race and join our family, then you will be the first in line to the throne. If you are willing to hand over the Goddess of Nature, then I can even directly pass on the throne to you and order the cessation of all acts of war against mankind. With the power of my Anti-Heavenly Dragons pir, its not difficult to transform you from light to darkness. The shock spread all over Yu Longguan. Who would have thought that the God of Devils unexpectedly said such a thing after arriving at Yu Longguan. He was unexpectedly recruiting Long Haochen. Moreover, the persuasion was even more shocking. Long Haochen only needed to give a god to be the new generation of the God of Devils, and this holy war would stoppletely. This was incredible. No one could have guessed that such an episode would ur when Long Haochen, president of the human Temple Federation, met the Devils ns first devil god, the God of Devils, Feng Xiu. Long Haochen was also surprised and dumbfounded. He wondered if the God of Devils was crazy, and he waspletely unable to understand the meaning of his words. Let me be the God of Devils, turn light into darkness, and hand over Ye Xiaolei. Is he not afraid of me destroying the demon npletely after I be the God of Devils? However, by the calm look on his face, he doesnt seem to be talking casually. Its a tempting offer. Although Long Haochen had a great shock, he was still calm. He was the president of the Temple Federation and the highest ruler in the hearts of all human beings. In the face of the God of Devils, if he were to look confused, it would certainly lead to a great decline in the morale of the whole Yu Longguan. How could he then fight with the God of Devils? But doesnt Your Majesty think that such provocation is useless? In the future of the Holy Land of Devils, there will be only human beings, not Devils. In that case, what is the need for God of Devils? Your Majesty can fight if you want. There is no need to say such useless words. Long Haochens counterattack was actually somewhat powerless but coupled with his calm tone and his own strong aura, it was still very persuasive. Feng Xiu smiled, and he could naturally see that Long Haochens heart was a little confused. Ill give you three days to think. Give me an answer in three days. If you dont surrender, youll die. Again, if I can kill you once, I can kill you again. In the interests of our people, everything is in vain. The dark golden light converged, and the figure of the God of Devils diluted and disappeared directly in the air. The dark golden light emitted by the Anti-Heavenly Dragons pir also slowly faded. Three days? Long Haochens face also showed a smile. It was a good opportunity to buy time, which was actually what he wanted most. Moreover, Long Haochen immediately understood the intention of the God of Devils. Just as he was looking forward to the results of the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan and the God of Devils was also looking forward to the news from there. Once the two armies of the Devils really invade the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan, then Yu Longguan would also be in jeopardy. However, what Long Haochen did not understand was why the God of Devils did not forcibly attack. If he and the strong ones he brought here with him went all out to attack, it would be a terrifying threat to Yu Longguan. Long Haochen must open all his cards, but he didnt know how long he could hold them. ording to Ye Xiaolei, even if he were to use all his power, it would still be difficult to defeat the God of Devils. However, there was still a chance. When he returned to Yu Longguan, Long Haochen immediately held a military meeting and spected on the situation of the God of Devils while waiting for the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. The God of Devils must have had a premonition that there was enough power in our Yu Longguan to threaten him, so he stood still for the time being. He wants to wait for us to have an internal conflict first, Long Haochen said quietly. Long Tianyin nodded. I think so, but the reason he gave you is really odd. I cant believe he wanted you to be the God of Devils. I dont know if theres something wrong with his mind. As soon as this remark came out, everyone presented there immediately showed a friendly smile. Long Haochen said, In any case, these three days are also very precious to us. If we calcte the time, the war between the Southeast fortress and Wan Shouguan will begin within a day. The bnce of victory and defeat on our side has a lot to do with the war there. I hope everything goes well. Yang Haohan said, Yu Longguan is ready, and it is not so easy for the God of Devils to attack and break through. Long Haochen smiled and said, This Holy War has just begun, and well observe the movements of the Devils n for 24 hours. Although the God of Devils gave us three days, we must not be careless. One by one, the arrangements were quickly made. Long Haochen did not notice his father Long Xingyus facial expression, who sat at the back position, being a little worried. It was like he was thinking about something. The God of Devils camped 50 miles outside Yu Longguan, and after finishing his conversation with Long Haochen, he even ordered all the Devil Gods Pirs to rein in their aura. For those whose eyesight was not particrly good, it was difficult to see their camp 50 miles away from Yu Longguan. The God of Devils was now in a good mood. Although Po had been badly hurt, he thought that Hao Yue was really dead by his conversation with Long Haochen today. His worries disappeared, so he had regained his former wise appearance. He instructed the whole army to be on the alert, meanwhile to rest in ce. He ordered Agarez to contact Samigina, the Undead Devil God on the other side, and Marbus, the Hell Devil God, and report it as soon as there was any news. No one knew what the God of Devils was really thinking now, and his wishful thinking couldnt be guessed easily even by the people closest to him. Leaning on the slumber, the God of Devils Feng Xiu narrowed her eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. Leng Xiao? He suddenly uttered his daughters name and then gently shook his head. Although Po is headstrong, overall vision is still good in normal times, and he is willing to bear hardships, and his talent inherits the fine blood of the royal family. Leng Xiaos pedigree is not as pure as Pos, and her mothers pedigree is not pure enough. Moreover, this girl is not brave and resourceful enough to aplish great things. What should I do! As he spoke, the God of Devils sat up slowly, and Long Haochen who confronted him 50 miles apart today unconsciously appeared on his mind. A mysterious smile appeared in the depths of the God of Devils eyes. What an interesting person, that Long Haochen. With the help of the power of the Imperial weapon, his practice level should be close to level nine of rank eight, and if there are any hidden means, he should be able to reach more than level nine of rank eight. This year he is not yet thirty years old, and Po is much inferior to him in all respects. However, his bloodline is not pure enough, even worse than that of Leng Xiao. However, his other bloodline is pure. If in the end he is willing to surrender and let me help him change his lineage and attributes, the Devils n will surely be more prosperous in the future millennium than it is now. He is also the only one who can surpass me in the future. He already has the position of God that I need most. Very well, very well Austin and Griffin are gone. Who better suits my sessor than him? In this world, there is nothing I want to do that I cant do. So, what if he is the Federal President? When the whole Temple Federation is about to be overthrown and theirnd will be invaded by our army, he will be held back here doing nothing and watch his people ughtered by us. He will naturally have no choice. Chapter 819 - Let Long Haochen Be The God Of Devils? (II)

Chapter 819: Let Long Haochen Be The God Of Devils? (II)

Talking to himself until now, the God of Devils stood up directly. His eyes twinkled, and a confidence full of pride was released from his eyes. Boy, I will y this game with you, as Ive said at the beginning. I will give you the honor. On the asion of the battle of wits between Long Haochen and the God of Devils at Yu Longguan, the war at the other side in the south was about to begin. Both Samigina, the Undead Devil God, and Marbus, the Hell Devil God, were under the strict orders of the God of Devils. The God of Devils request for them was simple. They had to invade the Temple Federation as quickly as possible at all costs to carry out a full-scale plunder. Yes, they only had to plunder, not to kill. For human beings, the Devils n was a thorn that stuck deep down to their flesh, and they wanted to get rid of them quickly. However, for the Devils n, every human being was an extremely important resource. With good use, a human beings all-out work could support one or two Devils. And although the Devils did not like the weakness of ordinary human beings, they had to admit the creativity and ingenuity of human beings. All human-made utensils were very popr among Devils. Therefore, even if there was such a bloodthirsty existence from the Undead Devil God and the Hell Devil God, when they were really faced with a group of humans who dare not resist, their choice must be the same, which was taking these humans back to the Devils n instead of killing them. Since inheriting the throne of the Devil God, Samigina had never epted such an important order from the God of Devils, and he knew from the attitude of the God of Devils that if he could notplete this task, he might be the next to face the same fate as the star demon god Vashak, and for him, there was no possibility of resurrection. From another point of view, Samigina also believed that there was no possibility of failure, at the same time, this was also a major opportunity for him. It was such a great chance to get fortune that if he did not take something from this task, he wouldnt be called Undead Devil God. He would naturally hand in what he plundered, but it was normal to deduct some of it himself, and even the God of Devils would not take it seriously. What wascking the most in the development of the Devils n? It was resources! With these resources, the Devils n would certainly make great progress. With the advantages of quantity and strength, as long as it could surpass the Moon Devil n and the Star Devil n in an all-round way, his ranking would certainly rise in the future. As Samigina said to Marbus and Warlifer, the God of Devils would deal with Moon Devil God and Star Devil God in order to have Po inherit the throne in the future. It might even change the members of these two races. And at that time, it would be the moment when he rose. His practice level was far from the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God, but it also meant that he would not affect Pos future control of the Devils. At that time, he would be the most important subordinate of the new God of Devils. It was for all these reasons that this battle meant so much to Samigina and he would do his best with all the elite Devils that went out collectively. Together with the elites of other ethnic groups, they went straight to the Southeast Fortress at the fastest speed. Millions of elite soldiers of the Devils n were divided into two groups, and the goal of hismander was directed at the nearest Southeast Fortress. On the other hand, Marbus and Warlifer led another 500,000 elite to attack the Wan Shouguan. Since Wan Shouguan was rtively difficult to attack, the number of Devils concentrated there was slightly bigger. However, this did not affect Samiginas confidence. He had made up his mind that, with the advantage of distance, he would rush into the interior of the Temple Federation before Marbus and Warlifer. In this way, not only would he have a better chance to plunder, but it would be the first great achievement for his fourth Devils Pir. Marching all the way, finally the Southeast Fortress appeared to their sight. Far away, there was a huge city in front of them. Samiginas eyes shone ferociously and he shouted, Pass down my order, and the whole army will rest and recuperate an hourter! Launch a full-scale offensive after that! After hearing hismand, the four Devils could not help but be slightly surprised, they marched all the way down with a ridiculously fast speed, even if the Devils were very strong, they could not bear it. Was Samigina too much in a hurry to attack the city that would not give his subordinates enough time to rest? And this was bound to lead to a substantial increase in losses! Patriarch, dont you want the subordinates to have a little more rest? the number one Devil said tentatively. Samigina nced at him coldly and said, Rest? Are you all tired? No, no, the Devils quickly replied in horror as if they were Samigina in front of the God of Devils. I mean, the army must be very tired from marching all the way here. If you want to attack now, Im afraid there will be a great loss. Samigina said coldly, Even so, they are not my people. I have nothing to worry about. Even if you cant guess my tactics, then humans obviously cannot either. By attacking them by surprise, we will be able to break through the Southeast Fortress in the shortest possible time and then we will aim at the Holy City. I can tell you that if we fall behind Marbus and Warlifer, we will not only be humiliated, but I am afraid they will take all the good things from us. Pass my order, after breaking into the fortress, plunder is carried out at will, and all the plundered goods will belong to themselves. Can you see what were going to do now? The four Devils looked at each other with a look of joy on their faces, and of course they believed in Samiginas words. The great loss would not be the people of their Devil army, who only ounted for 1/5 of these 500,000 soldiers. Let other races be killed, but it must be their Devils who aplish this great task. Whats more, this time they were all elite Devils, which was not like the small fuss from the previous Holy War. And the Southeast Fortress had never been the strongest of mankind. The four Devils immediately went down to make arrangements. With Samigina as the manager, thes dared not express his dissatisfaction even if the Devils who apanied him were dissatisfied. That was because he was one of the five pirs of the Devils n. Themander of the army, Samigina, the Undead Devil God, appeared and soon the Southeast Fortress naturally found out. Qiu Yonghaomanded the high level of Soldiers Temple and the generals of the army of the six temples to gather at the top of the Southeast Fortress and looked out into the distance. He nodded gently and Qiu Yonghao who shook his fist vigorously. Here theye. The information is absolutely right. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, this time, you will know the strength of my Southeast Fortress. In a war, information alwayses first, and urate information couldpletely cause the oue of a war. Qiu Yonghao got not only the exact time of the enemys arrival, but also detailed information on the number and ranking of Devils in the army of Devils, as well as the proportion of armies of various races. And this information naturally came from Yue Yes organization. As early as three days ago, in order to deal with the Devil army of the Undead Devil God Samigina, the Southeast Fortress carried outprehensive preparations. Samigina, of course, did not know that the situation of his army information had already been revealed, and one trap after another was waiting for him to jump into it. The time of an hour would soon be up. For the army of Devils who hade from afar, an hour was not enough for them to fully recover. The best they could do during that time was to eat something and have a short rest. Even among the Devils, military orders could not be disobeyed. And the rule of the Devils n was even harsher, and there was only one end for soldiers who disobey orders. That was death. Therefore, even though there were manyints from the underlings, under themand of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, the Devil army was still assembled. Samigina looked at the Southeast Fortress in the distance, waved his right hand forward and said, Attack. The first one to rush into the Southeast Fortress will be rewarded with a hundred human ves. For the Devils n, the best way to measure wealth was to resources, and human ves had always been the most precious resources and wealth among the Devil aristocracy. The same rule applied in even Devil Gods. Other Devils, who were dissatisfied with Samiginas arrangement before, immediately thought of the rich resources and wealth in the human world after hearing his words. For a time, the Devil generals forcibly suppressed their physical and mental tiredness, and themander-in-chief went straight to the Southeast Fortress. It was certainly impossible for Samigina to throw 500,000 troops into attacking the city at once. However, he had also been inmand for many years, and even if other races were used as cannon fodder, this intention would never be too obvious. The first wave was 50,000 Devils. The Southeast Fortress front wall was not too wide, therefore, 50,000 Devils was thergest number that could be amodated on the battlefield. In front of the race were the wild Devil race and the Bird Devil race. Neither of these races was protected by Devil Gods. Therefore, naturally, not many people cared about their life or death. But there was no doubt that both races were quite effective. This time, the elite army of the Devil had no weak ones at all. There was no cannon fodder army like Double-Knife Devils. Magic Eye Wizard race went along with the Wild Devil race and the Bird Devil race. These races together, the number was exactly about 50,000. They attacked from both the sky andnd and went straight to the Southeast Fortress. If one looked down from high above, one could see that the army of Devils pounced on the Southeast Fortress like a mass of locusts. Qiu Yonghao looked coldly at the army in the distance and raised his right hand, Here we go. The low sound of magic casting quietly sounded at the top of the Southeast Fortress, and the rich elements fluctuated. Whether it was a wizards, priest or summoners, each was assigned with at least two magic crystals. After determining that this Holy War with the Devils was the most critical war of the Temple Federation, and even the best chance to defeat the Devils for good, the Temple Union spared no expense to use all the resources at its disposal. The Holy League Auction Ground donated almost all the stored equipment and magic crystals and they only asked the Temple Union for a signed document acknowledging their debts in return. Chapter 820 - Let Long Haochen Be The God of Devils? (III)

Chapter 820: Let Long Haochen Be The God of Devils? (III)

The Demon Hunter Trade Center also distributed all the stored equipment to the hunters with detailed registrations. Whether they could continue to have the equipment they had acquired after the war depended on their performance in this war. The preparation and strength of the Temple Federation were far beyond the cognitive scope of the Devils, so Samigina suffered a great loss when he justunched the first wave of attacks. The Wild Devil race ran so fast that they could even bepared with the Bird Devil race in the air at a short distance. The Magic Eye Wizards were much slower than the other two races. As a result, as soon as the three racesunched a full-scale offensive, the Magic Eye Wizards were somewhat out of touch with the first two races. It was not that the Wild Devil race and Bird Devil race were greedy for merit, but it was just the way they fight. Especially the Wild Devil race, once they entered the fighting state, they wouldpletely fall into a wild state and no one could stop them. Going to the front was naturally a good hand, but when it came to working with other races, they were not very good at it. Otherwise, with thebat effectiveness of these Wild Devils, Samigina, the Undead Devil God, would not let them serve as cannon fodder first! The number of the Wild Devil race was thergest among the three races, with more than 25,000 Devils. At first sight, they had already rushed within ten miles of the Southeast Fortress. At this time, under the Southeast Fortress City, hexagonal stars began to light up one after another, and the gorgeous light immediately shone dazzling under the city wall. Due to the different properties, the walls of the Southeast Fortress became colorful for a moment. Those were the Summoning Hexagrams! Although there were different sizes, some had a light gate, and some were just a very small hexagram. The strength of its summoned Warcraft was even more uneven. However, it was more than enough. All the summoners assigned to the Assassin Temple were sent to the Southeast Fortress, and with summoners that were already there, there were a total of as many as 3,000 summoners in the fortress. However, most of their practice levels were weak. The role of summoners on the battlefield was absolutely enormous because arge part of the Warcraft they summon were elemental bodies which were not afraid of casualties at all. Even if the Warcraft summoned from other nes were to die, it wont have much impact on them in general. As long as it was not their own contract of Warcraft that died, it would not affect their practice. Thousands of hexagonal stars appeared in the first round, and then thousands of Warcraft appeared under the Southeast Fortress City. These Warcraft both flew in the sky and ran underground, with strength ranging from level 2 or level 3 to level 7 or level 8. Some of the strongest Warcraft even surpassed level 9. Compared with the regr army of Devils, these thousands of Warcraft looked a little shabby. However, they were fierce and were not scared of death and most of them could cast magic spells! With the attack of the Wild Devil race, thousands of Warcraft did not hesitate to wee them andunched crazy offensives. Wan Shouguan was one of the two most difficult among the Temple Federation to break because of the great role of the summoners on the battlefield. Although the attack power of the Wild Devil race was strong, the general Wild Devil race was only in level 3 or 4. And the mighty part of the Devils was only in their body, so they were not good with magic. Far away, the army of Devils had not yet touched these Warcraft, and half of the thousands of Warcraft had already casted their magic. Warcraft had a wide variety of magic and the lethality of their magic was also great! For a moment, the colored light appeared in the army of Devils like fireworks. At least hundreds of Devils had been killed solely by magic attacks, which also slowed down their attack speed. The Warcrafts natural magic might not be particrly powerful, but the attack speed was even faster than that of the average human wizards. Therefore, by the time the Devils rushed forward, these Warcraft would have alreadypleted three rounds of magic attacks and at least killed more than 2,000 Devils. Samigina, who watched the game from a distance, looked a little distorted. He had a faint premonition that humans seemed to be ready for their sudden arrival. Since when are there so many summoners at the Southeast Fortress? There were also generous amounts of summoners that came from the Temple of Souls. The first wave of Warcraft and Devils shed together and were soon wiped out. After all, their number was too smallpared with the army of Devils. All of the three races of the Devils army fought very wildly. Only with thousands of Warcraft, how could theypletely stop the progress? However, many Devils from the Wild Devil race that marched forwards first were killed by the Warcraft. However, while the first wave of Warcraft was torn to pieces by the Devils, the second wave of summoned Warcraft reappeared. It was also more than thousands of Warcraft, but this time the quality of Warcraft was even better than thest batch. Only arge number of magic released could be seen which then rushed in front of the Wild Devil race and pushed them back. The number of casualties of Devils was also on the rise. Up to this time, the Magic Eye Wizard race behind had not fully caught up with the other two races yet. The second wave was followed by the third wave. Three waves of Warcraft attacked, and the Devils offensive had beenpletely resisted. Their initial morale was contained, and it was not easy for them to deal with these Warcraft at a ratio of one against thirty. At the same time as the battle on the ground began, the Bird Devil race in the sky had arrived. The individual strength of the Bird Devil race was even higher than that of the Wild Devil race, and the total number of the Bird Devil race was as much as ten thousand. If fought using air force, the Devils had always had the upper hand. The Bird Devil race flew at the front were several golden Bird Devils, followed by a group of big Bird Devils, and thenstly the ordinary Bird Devils. They were like arge dark cloud, covering towards the head of the city entirely. They were greeted by magical magic. In order to deal with the approaching Devils, the wizards of the Southeast Fortress had never made a move until now and were waiting for the arrival of the Devils air force. The Bird Devils were good at lightning attacks, but only the bigger Devils could release lightning out of their body and attack from a long distance. However, the magic of human wizards was much farther in range than their attacks. The Magic Temple was worthy of being the second most powerful among the six temples. When Li Zhengzhi assigned wizards, he sent wizards with a single attribute to the other five temples. The 1,500 wizards assigned to the Warrior Temple all possessed the fire element. The main force was the army of fire wizards that Lin Xin oncemanded. At the same time, there were 500 earth wizards sent by Qu Moguan. At present, the Southeast Fortress had not only 3,000 summoners, but also had as many as 2,000 wizards. In terms of long-range attacks, no one else couldpare. And obviously, it was the 1,500 fire wizards whounched the first wave of magic attacks. They did not attack at the same time, but instead, theyunched three waves of attacks in units of 500 men, and the magic they used was the same, the bursting fireball. The mostmon bursting fireball was the third-level magic, and the wizards who could use this must be at least level three or above, otherwise they would not be effective at all on the battlefield. When a mass of red fire rose into the sky and flew straight to the army of Devils, the Devils were already a little scared and they even thought they were in the wrong ce. Is this still the Southeast Fortress? This is not Jia Lingguan, is it? But no matter how they felt at the moment, the burst fireball would not disappear with their will. Then a burning cloud appeared in the sky. It was because there were not so many wizards in the Southeast Fortress, and the marching army of Devil was very tired. Additionally, themander-in-chief of the Bird Devil race lined up the ranks of the army a little bit densely. As a result, the original dark cloud turned into a burning cloud. Fifteen hundred burst fireballs fell on the army of Devils in three waves. The Devils below were already miserable, but they were still much luckier than the burning cloud in the air. When a wizardunched a group attack, it would definitely cause a disaster on the battlefield. The Devils air force came and retreated quickly. After the fireworks in mid-air, ten thousand Bird Devils escaped quickly and there were only less than six thousand remaining. A total of four thousand Bird Devils were destroyed under that burst of fireball. However, the Bird Devils did not attack at all. As the fireball burst below, they also desperately threw a lightning spear at the head of the Southeast Fortress City. At least five thousand lightning spearsnded on the southeastern fortress which they targeted at the wizards and the summoners. If they could make a heavy blow to the wizards and the summoners, then their previous loss would be worth it. Unfortunately, this was still a Southeast Fortress not the Jia Lingguan! Soldier Temple was nevercking in shield soldiers. The rtionship between the Warrior Temple and the Magic Temple had always been very close, and in the past, the Magic Temple was able to support 300 to 500 wizards to the Warrior Temple at most. Not to mention summoner from the Temple of Souls, not one was sent at all. Chen Hongyu was notoriously stingy. But now the Warrior Temple could be said to change shotgun for cannons! The total number of summoners, wizards and priests was as high as 8,000. They were all the most precious things in Qiu Yonghaos heart. As soon as these three magical arms arrived at the Southeast Fortress, Qiu Yonghao immediately ordered that they fight with his side by side method. Each wizard was equipped with a fifth-level warrior guard. Though, the wizard must be at least level 5. The higher level the wizard, the more equipped he would be to get with at least the same level of shield warriors. Qiu Yonghaos orders to these shield soldiers were very simple: treat the magicians around one as ones own wives and protect them at all costs. Eight thousand wizards, what was that for on the battlefield? This was why Qiu Yonghaoming knew that Samigina, the Undead Devil God, wasing with an elite army of 500,000 Devils, but he still looked like he was rubbing his hands and expecting them toe. When did the Warrior Temple have such confidence?! Chapter 821 - The War Begins (I)

Chapter 821: The War Begins (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio His side by side fighting method had always been loved by the wizards, and it also let the wizards quickly integrate into the big family of the Southeast Fortress. They blended in with the soldiers. On the battlefield, the wizards were the sharpest spears, and the soldiers around them were their most solid shields. As they watched the Devils lightning spears being thrown down, the heavy shields immediately defended the entire Southeast Fortress like a tortoise shell. The wizards all hid behind them and werepletely obscured by the tower shield that they did not even see the appearance of a lightning spear. The spears then bounced off and moreover, it bounced directly into the city. One feature of the Bird Devils lightning spear was that it had four small fixed wings in the middle back position, so that it could maintain a forward and downward position during the throwing process without falling horizontally. And now it was these four small wings that had be a nightmare for Devils. The lightning spears that were bounced off by the shield warriors naturally could not identify friends or foes, and the Devils already suffered heavy losses from wiping out all three waves of Warcraft. They were then greeted again by thousands of lightning spears falling from the sky simultaneously. . These were way too sudden of an attack. The Wild Devils were in a state of madness at this time, and if they found out that the lightning spears were falling from the air towards them in time, they would still have some time to avoid the attacks. Unfortunately, they did not find out as they didnt concentrate on the situation enough. Out of the five thousand lightning spears, at least two thirds were bounced off the head of the city and at least a thousand Devils were killed or injured under these lightning spears. How dreadful! However, after all, Wild Devils were Wild Devils. After they had been hit several times, and their loss had been more than four thousand, they still attacked the Southeast Fortress fearlessly. When they got to the bottom of the city, they quickly climbed up the city wall with sharp thorns from their arms. Although the walls of the Southeast Fortress were hard enough, with a little help from the spike, the Wild Devils could climb up higher easily. Looking at it, the wall as high as 100 meters had been densely crawled with the Wild Devils. And the Magic Eye Wizards in the rear finally arrived at this time. The number of Magic Eye Wizards was more than 13,000. There were many strong Devils among them. Although they were not as fast as the Wild Devils, they were not that much slower. After all, they all had three legs. However, Magic Eye Wizards were not as brainless as the Wild Devils. They were shrewd. The reason why they did not arrive at the battlefield until now was to let the Wild Devils attack first, and when they entangle the human defenders on the top of the city, it would be safer for the Magic Eye Wizards. Their wishful thinking was indeed excellent. Therefore, it was only at this time that they arrived under the city. The head of a powerful magician with twelve Magic Eyes on his head let out a scream. All of a sudden, all the magicians quickly spread out their formation, and the Magic Eyes above their heads were all aimed at the location of Southeast Fortress walls. Their Magic Eyes could only fire straight rays and attack from under the city to the top of the city, and the effect would not be very good. However, themander of the magician was very smart. His purpose was simple: to attack the city wall directly. With the attack of more than 13,000 Magic Eye Wizards, even if the wall of the Southeast Fortress was up to 100 meters thick, it would only take a few concentrated attacks to open up the gap. And once the humans lose the barrier of the city wall, it would be a lot harder for the Southeast Fortress to resist the 500,000 armies of Devils. His move was not vicious. Moreover, as soon as he came up, the ten Magic Eyes on the top of the wizards head were the first to spray out, leaving a scorched ck mark up to one meter deep on the city wall, which was undoubtedly the target he assigned to other wizards to attack. If these wizards were really allowed to attack many times in a row, it would be a big blow to the Southeast Fortress. At this time, the Wild Devils had already begun to climb to the head of the city, and the Bird Devils in the air had also learned to spread out quickly, and were looking for opportunities. How could the Southeast Fortress stop these Magic Eye Wizards? Of course, there was still a way. It was because the Southeast Fortress was no longer the battlefield of just the Warrior Temple itself, but the battlefield of the Temple Federation! A mournful whistle suddenly sounded outside the city, and before the Magic Eye Wizards understood what was going on, they saw arge number of Magic Eye Wizards fell down like wheat. One after another, the figures were drilled out from under the ground, killing these Magic Eye Wizards crazily at close range. Assassin. It was the assassins doing. The total number of assassins ambushed outside the city was more than ten thousand. They had been waiting patiently, giving way to the Devils, and the target was these Magic Eye Wizards who mainly attacked using magic. The Magic Eye Wizard race was tall and they all had three legs. However, they were truly magical armies. Melee was what they were least good at. They never imagined that the threat did not appear directly from the Southeast Fortress, but at their feet, like the Devils own stalker,unching a deadly attack on them. Magic Eye Wizards were definitely smart, but if they were following the Wild Devils, at this time, the Wild Devils could still support them. However, they werepletely out of touch with the Wild Devils now, and there was still a considerable distance between the location of the attack and the city wall. The Wild Devils, on the other hand, were even moremitted to moving forward and were not aware of the crisis on their side at all. Ten thousand assassins! What kind of concept was that? More than 13,000 Magic Eye Wizards were wiped out by the assassins almostpletely in less than three minutes. It was totally dreadful for the army of wizards to face assassins at a close range. It was like an assassin with a dagger standing close behind a wizard. Samigina, the Undead Devil God who watched the battle from afar, was stunned at this time. He never thought that this would happen with his fifty thousand troops. Human beings clearly had a premeditated arrangement! The assassins were obviously hidden there long ago, otherwise how could they be hidden from them? Only then did Samigina realize that the Southeast Fortress knew they wereing and was already well prepared. From his view, the Southeast Fortress of the Warrior Temple, which could be broken in less than three waves of all-out attacks, had be so difficult to deal with. Moreover, what made him feel the crisis most was the appearance and total number of summoners, wizards and assassins. Arent the six temples of mankind fighting on their own? Why are there so many strong men of other temples in the Southeast Fortress? At the same time as the assassinsunched, the Wild Devils that attacked the city wall were also destroyed. It was true that some Devils rushed to the head of the Southeast Fortress, but it was the knights and warriors who waited for them. With this number alone, how could they pose a threat to the Southeast Fortress? Even to consume their energy would take more time and a bigger number of armys. At this time, thorns grew on the walls of the Southeast Fortress. The earth thorns protruded from the city wall without warning, and the Wild Devils almost covered the walls of the Southeast Fortress at this time! On such a wide and high wall, at least three thousand Wild Devils were climbing at the same time. And in the next moment, all the three thousand Wild Devils were nailed to death on the city wall. Five hundred wizards had endured it until now, and they finally made a move. When the Wild Devil corpses on the city wall fell madly and the army of Devils was in chaos, ten thousand assassins who had just ambushed the Magic Eye Wizards issued attacks from behind. Along with them came burst fireballs falling from the sky. Twenty five thousand Wild Devils got burned to death under the walls of the Southeast Fortress. Even Samigina in the distance couldnt save them in time. A stream of golden light continued to fall from the head of the city, shining on the injured assassins, with the care of the priests, thebat effectiveness of the assassins had been improved drastically. Their individual strength was already above the Wild Devils, and the Wild Devils were already in chaos. With the support of fire wizards and priests above, there should not be any further damage to the assassins. The Bird Devils in the air were not fools, they dared not go near the Southeast Fortress again, which would only make them?targets for the wizards on the top of the city. The remaining less than six thousand Bird Devils immediately retreated in panic. Only the corpses were left outside the city. Cheers suddenly burst out from the Southeast Fortress like a tsunami from Qiu Yonghao and even the most ordinary soldiers, as their mood and morale had beenpletely ignited. Human beings had fought against the Devils for so many years, and they had never been so proud as they were now. If it was the original strength of the Southeast Fortress, the 50,000 Devils would be sure to break through. However, it was impossible to deal with this open ground attackpletely unscathed. The fighting capacity of Wild Devils and the Bird Devils were quite good, not to mention the cooperation of arge number of the Magic Eye Wizards. They could all be regarded as the elites of the Devils n. However, this time it was different. With the cooperation of teams from the six professions, even the priests did not act much, and the battle was now over. It was aplete victory for humankind. The Wild Devils and the Magic Eye Wizards werepletely wiped out, and the Devils n lost nearly half of them. The loss was so great that even Samigina, whomanded 500,000 troops, was a little anxious. This was close to one tenth of the total strength. Although it was not the real main force, it was also a very important part of their strength. This was the advantage of thebination of the six professions, and the effect of multi-ss cooperation was much better than when each six temples fight alone. The advantages of the new federation appeared on the battlefield for the first time, which made the minds of the six professional strong men in the Southeast Fortress determined. Compared to the overall strength, they were not as good as the Devils n, but under the cooperation of the six professions, it was not easy for the Devils n to break through. And timely information made them fully prepared. Samiginas face was livid and his eyes glowed ferociously. Two-headed Devils vultures with Bird Devils, me Devils, Wolf Devils, and Leopard Devils go forth into the battle. Spore Devils go and assist them. The Invisible Earth race, hide yourself and dispatch a troop. Id like to see how many traps they still have. Chapter 822 - The War Begins (II)

Chapter 822: The War Begins (II)

Garbo, Sts, Phoenix. The three of you fight to support the army. Even if you cant break the Southeast Fortress, you must at least open a gap for me. Roger. The three Devil Gods shed out from behind and respectfully saluted Samigina. Their bodies shed into three streamers and flew straight into the air. The army of Devils hadunched again. Compared withst time, this army of Devils had made a qualitative leap in terms of both quantity and quality. With a total of more than a hundred thousand, they once again pounced on the Southeast Fortress all at once. On the ground, the Wolf Devil race and the Leopard Devil race rushed forward rapidly under the cover of the huge me Devils. In the air, the previously defeated Bird Devils and Two-headed Devilsunched a more powerful attack, and more importantly, more than a dozen Spore Devils appeared between them. Spore Devils were not only the fastest flying magic arms of the Devils n, but they also had a strong limiting effect on the enemy. Its pesky slime, no matter what kind of upation the other side was, would be very timid. This time the Devil army was led by the Devil Gods, which was very different from the previous exploratory attacks. Looking at the horrifying Devil army in the distance, Qiu Yonghaos expression changed.Such a Devil army would have caused heavy losses to the Southeast Fortress. There was even a danger of being breached. The Devils n 72 Devil Pir had different shapes, but they did not often appear on the battlefield, so even as the former master of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao did not know the strength of these three Devil Gods. However, from the distance, their three bright Devil Pirs that could be seen meant that these three Devil Gods were definitely not at the bottom of the list. Lord Qiu, dont worry. I know these three Devil Gods, Ye Sanmi, standing next to Qiu Yonghao, said in a low voice. All the Eternal Heroes wore a broad ck cloak thatpletely covered their bodies. Hearing the calm voice of Ye Sanmi, Qiu Yonghao could not help feeling ashamed that he couldnt remain calm enough in the face of the strong Devils n. Thats the thirty-third Devil God, Garbo, the thirty-sixth Devil God, Sts, and the thirty-seventh Devil God Phoenix. These three guys are mainly auxiliary and magical body. They y an important role in the battlefield, but the individual fighting ability is average. Despite the fact that Ye Sanmi had been asleep for thousands of years, his understanding of the Devil God was much better than that of the top echelons of the Warrior Temple. Among the 72 Devil Pirs of the Devils n, except for the name of the God of Devils, the names of other Devil Gods would never change. In other words, no matter what generation the Moon God was, his name would be Agarez, and the Star Demon God would be Vashak. That was why he was able to name the three Devil Gods in one fell swoop. Hearing the names, Qiu Yonghao immediately got the information of the three Devil Gods in his mind and said in a deep voice, Garbo is an arcane god who is good at performing arcane magic and is mainly full-scale auxiliary. Among the 72 Devil Pirs Devil Gods, he is almost the only fully auxiliary Devil God out there, and his individualsbat effectiveness is very weak. However, if he can rank 33, then he must be extremely strong in terms of assistance work. Stss title is the Curse God. He is good at all kinds of curse magic which is very annoying. Phoenix, known as the Dark Phoenix, is good at fire and dark magic. Although he ranksst among the three Devil Gods, he is the most powerful one here. After talking about the abilities of these three Devil Gods, Qiu Yonghaos heart was even heavier. The role these three Devil Gods could y on the battlefield was absolutely terrifying. It seemed that Samigina, the Undead Devil God, had not really lost his calmness because of his failure just now. This wave of enemy attacks was not easy to resist! Leave Garbo and the Spore Devils to me. Ye Sanmi said faintly, The Devils dont know we exist, so Ill send them a gift. However, I only have one chance, so I can only take care of one of the three Devil Gods. Once I attack one, the other two are bound to be deified. Its an uphill battle. While they were talking andying out their tactics, the army of Devils in the distance was getting closer and closer. The Arcane Devil God Garbo looked like a human being, with long dark blue hair and a luxurious silver robe, but his appearance was a little creepy, with a hooked nose, toad eyes and a thick blue staff in his hand. He did not have any wings, so when he flew, it was entirely based on the control of the elements. As he flew forward, Garbo casted a spell. Soon, ayer of dark blue light shrouded in the army of Devils below. All of a sudden, nearly ten thousand Devils in the front were covered by this blue light, and their speed suddenly skyrocketed. Arcane magic, Light Colony spell. Regarding pure auxiliary magic, the Arcane Devil God Garbo had a great range of auxiliary magic, which was unmatched by any human wizards. His casting speed was very fast, and after the Light Colony spell, anotheryer of red light was shrouded over the me Devils, Wolf Devils, and Leopard Devils. This time was the Brute Force Colony spell. This was just the beginning. If his arcane magic was allowed to be released continuously, thebat effectiveness of the army of Devils could at least be doubled, and their ability to survive on the battlefield would be greatly enhanced. This was still under the premise that Garbo did not use Devils deification. The time for deification was limited, and he obviously had to wait until the battle was at its most critical moment. However, he did not know that he had be the target of Ye Sanmi. Unlike Garbo, Sts and Phoenix had not yet made an action because their casting distance was not as far as Garbo. They all aimed at opponents, so it was better to go close to the Southeast Fortress first. At this time, Garbo was still ten miles from the Southeast Fortress, and a few single spells could attack this far, therefore he had no idea of himself under the risk of being attacked. At the Southeast Fortress, Ye Sanmi took off his cloak, revealing an old face, iron-gray skin with a bit of metallic texture, but his eyes were very strange, not like those possessed by undead creatures at all. A pair of green eyes were crystal clear, transparent and only in the depths of his pupil, there was a slight turquoise me beating. Ye Sanmi raised his hand and scratched it in the empty sky, and suddenly a huge bow appeared in his grasp. The length of this huge bow exceeded his height and was dark gold. However, the contribution was a touch of seven colors. As soon as the bow came out, Qiu Yonghao felt as if his soul was about to be sucked away. The bow had many gorgeous patterns, but it was cleverly concealed in the dark gold color. Ye Sanmi held the middle part of the bow in his left hand, slowly lifted it in front of him, and put his right hand on the bowstring. Unexpectedly, there was no arrow, and he slowly pulled it. At the moment when he began to draw the bow, Qiu Yonghao subconsciously retreated a few steps, and the people around him could not help but also get out of the way. Ye Sanmi seemed to have an invisible airstream, rising like a me, and the huge bow also had invisible airflow in the process, but strangely, both the dark gold on the bow and the seven colors on the bow string had dimmed down inconspicuously. Is this a Divine Weapon? Qiu Yonghao could also be regarded as a knowledgeable man. Seeing the extraordinary features of this huge bow at a nce, he couldnt help but take a cool breath. This Eternal Hero actually had a Divine Weapon. And it seemed that this was not only a Divine Weapon, but also seemed to have something to do with elves. It was because some of the patterns on the bow were so unique that only the ancient elves had them. Qiu Yonghao could not tell what it was, but he could see that it had something to do with the elves. Garbos third arcane magic was about to bepleted. He was an individual Devil God and did not belong to any race, so he did not care much about the previous deaths of Devils and wizards. It was just that he was very dismissive of Samiginasmand. In terms of overall control, as the god of arcane magic, he always thought that he was the first in the world, but because he did not have directbat effectiveness, he had never been able to be themander-in-chief of the front line. Therefore, he felt somewhat depressed and frustrated. Finally, when it was time for him to go to war, the Arcane Devil God Garbo would put everything he had to the battle, so that all the Devils could see the strength of his pure assistance. Just then, suddenly, Garbos heart tightened, and the magic he was casting got interrupted by himself. He only felt as if his heart was clenched by a big invisible hand, it was an unspeakable pain. He could not help humming slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Southeast Fortress. What he saw was a pair of green eyes and a huge bow. Impossible! With such a long distance, no bow and arrow could reach! Just when Garbo was inexplicably shocked, he still believed that it was impossible for the other side to sessfully attack him. All of a sudden, on the top of the Southeast Fortress, a green light rose into the sky and climbed to a height of more than 100 meters. The sudden appearance of the me really startled the Devils n, and then, in the emerald green light, a dot of seven colors radiated and shot out like a meteor chasing the moon. Im the target. Garbo roared in his heart, and the strong sense of crisis in his heart instantly aroused the power of his own Devil Pir. In the Devils camp, the Devil Pir that belonged to the Arcane Devil God Garbo suddenly burst into a strong dark blue luster, and the runes on the pir seemed toe back to life, rising instantly, forming arger symbol and flying straight to Garbo in the distance. However, Garbos discovery was still a little toote after all. The moment that little seven colors light came out of the giant bow, all the air 100 meters away from Ye Sanmis body buzzed, and the colorful light dot flew out not higher than 100 meters and disappeared in the air. Chapter 823 - The War Begins (III)

Chapter 823: The War Begins (III)

It was fast for Garbo to perform demonization, but just as the huge dark blue symbol flew behind him and even began to merge with his body, the air in front of him suddenly cracked, and a little colorful light appeared in an instant. What Garbo had time to do was to put his huge blue wand in front of him. However, the next moment, the colorful light disappeared again. The huge symbol behind Garbo quickly melted into his body, causing his body to expand rapidly, and hundreds of runes circled around his body, which was thebination arcane magics symbol. In the state of deification, Garbo casted arcane magic again, and its power was doubled. However, at this time, the Arcane Devil God was suspended there motionless with his eye gazing into the distance. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes. The Curse Devil God Sts and the Dark Phoenix also felt bad, and the two Devil Gods did not hesitate to trigger their own deification. A quack sound came from the Curse Devil God Sts and a pair of ck wings instantly unfolded. The orange Devil Pir in the distant shone and the original humanoid body turned into a huge crow with a wingspan of up to 10 meters. His eyes and mouth were orange. The Devil deification of the Dark Phoenix was much more magnificent, with a length of more than 20 meters and a wider wingspan. The dazzling ck body was covered with dark golden me lines, which he thenpletely turned into the Dark Phoenix. However, their demonization did not affect Garbo, and at the same as time they changed, a trace of colorful light began to spill over from Garbos body, and then, with a loud boom right in the center, guarded by many arcane symbols, Garbos body suddenly exploded, and countless colorful lights burst out. It was so frightening that the Curse Devil God Sts and the Dark Phoenix quickly dodged. Garbo, the Arcane Devil God, ranked 33rd in the Devils n, became the first Devil God to perish on the battlefield after the beginning of the war. Samigina, who sat still in the leader chair earlier, suddenly stood up with a glimmer of horror in his eyes. Although Garbo was not good at fighting, his practice level was level nine of rank three. If he hadbined with his Devil Pir to perform the deification, he could even have more than level nine of rank five ofbat effectiveness, and his whole court assistance would be even stronger. However, he was killed by the enemy. Wasnt it said that there were no Divine Weapons in the Warrior Temple? But the colorful light just now was clearly emitted by the Divine Weapon. The Divine Weapon of bow and arrow? The scariest Divine Weapon on the battlefield was undoubtedly the scepter that increases magic, but when it came to the greatest threat to individuals, nothing could surpass bows and arrows. The emergence of the Divine Weapon bow could be said to be the greatest threat to any Devil, even Samigina, who ranked fourth. The Southeast Fortress was much more difficult to attack than he had imagined, and Samiginas face became extremely distorted. Dang When the giant bow fell to the ground, Ye Sanmi, who was holding the bow with his left hand, was very calm, but the light in his eyes was much dimmed. Obviously, it was not easy for him to shoot the arrow that killed a Devil God in a second. However, this attack was an unparalleled increase in the morale of the entire Southeast Fortress. The enemy had arrived. As a powerful race of magic and physicalbat, me Devils began to shoot out fireballs like crazy at the head of the city as soon as they arrived under the city. At the same time, they used their tall and defensive bodies to protect the Wolf Devils and the Leopard Devils behind them. Earth magic fell from the sky, bombarding the area in front of the city wall on arge scale. And these elemental stones disappeared right after the bombardment and never became stepping stones for Devils. Five hundred earth wizards made efforts at the same time to temporarily fend off the enemy attacked by the ground. However, the Wolf Devils body was tough, and theirbat effectiveness was even stronger. The Leopard Devil was also extremely fast, therefore, the damage to them by falling stone was quite limited, as it could only stop them from attacking the city. After Ye Sanmis shot, Qiu Yonghao hadpletely regained hisposure and gave orders one after another. In front of the city wall, all were covered with shields. In the city, an army of knights already gathered, ready to go out and fight. It was only in the wilderness that the knights yed the greatest role. The task of the fire wizard was mainly against the enemys air force, Two-Headed Devils and Bird Devils came at the same time. Bird Devils were good at physical attacks, while Two-Headed Devils were both good at dark and fire magic attacks and certain physical attack abilities. The threat to the Southeast Fortress was big. However, the deterrent power of Ye Sanmis arrow just now was so strong that the speed of these flying Devils approach had obviously decreased a lot. Even the Curse Devil God Sts and the Dark Phoenix stayed a bit far from the city. They were deified, but still they were not entirely sure whether they could escape from the terrifying bow attack just now or not. Although only one Devil God got killed by Ye Sanmi, it could be said that he had reduced the role of the three Devil Gods to a minimum by the virtue of his own efforts. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, quickly stood up tomand the battle. Beevron, Hagatti, you two go help Sts and Phoenix. Roger. Two majestic figures shed from behind Samigina, turning into iron ck and brown shadows respectively, and flew straight to the battlefield. Ranked 46th among the 72 Devil God, Beevron, the Monster Devil God, was 10 meters tall, and looked like an erged version of the baboon. He had a strong melee ability but without any magic ability. Covered with copper and iron bones, the defensive force was amazing. Ranked 48th among the 72 Devil Gods, Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God, was a giant bull and was one of the best defensive Devil Gods among the 72 Devil Gods. Samigina sent the two of them out for a simple purpose: to protect the rtively weak Curse Devil God and the Dark Phoenix, so that their magical powers could be brought into full y on the battlefield, thus reversing the current unfavorable situation. It was much easier for monsters and bulls to deal with bows and arrows. While Samigina reinforced the two Devil Gods ahead, the attack and defense of the Southeast Fortress was in full swing. At a time when the mana of the earth wizards became weak, the Wolf Devils and the Leopard Devils had begun to attack the city in an all-out way. They were all the main fighting races of the Devils, and their strength was quite strong. The climbing ability of the me Devils were weak, but once they were allowed to climb up to the head of the city, it would pose an even greater threat to the warriors in the city. The shield warriors bravely carried out a full-scale collision with the Wolf Devils and the Leopard Devils in front of them. Although the professionals of the Warrior Temple were the weakest among the six temples, they were also thergest in number. Shield Warriors in front, Berserkers in the rear against the Wolf Devils and the Leopard Devils. Theyunched a life-and-death battle. The high levels of the Warrior Temple all appeared on the battlefield, and no matter how strong the Wolf Devils and the Leopard Devils were, they were much worse than the warriors at level six or above. A huge golden sword light swept across the city, hundreds of meters long on the wall, all the Wolf Devils, Leopard Devils and a few me Devils that had just climbed up were halved and fallen. It was Qiu Yonghaos attack. The warriors at level eight and above stood directly on the tower, making it impossible for the Wolf Devils and Leopard Devils to cross the line. However, the Devils ns attack from the air also arrived, and the magic of Two-headed Devils and Bird Devils lightning spears continued to fall towards the head of the Southeast Fortress, causing losses to the army of the Temple Union. Fortunately, Qiu Yonghaos tactics were very sessful, and the wizards were well protected. However, they could not fight hard back against the enemy in the air. To the surprise of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, for some reason, the Devil-guided cannon, the most powerful defense weapon in the Southeast Fortress, did not show its power, and seemed to have all disappeared into thin air. This made the Devils air force more effective. Poof A soldier fell to the ground and his throat was cut inexplicably, and suddenly there was a gap in the city wall, but it was quickly filled by flesh and blood by the berserker behind. Wizards, the explorations. There are the Di Ke n people. The explorations quickly shone at the top of the city, and sure enough, arge number of the invisible Di Ke n appeared on the battlefield between the Leopard Devils and the Wolf Devils. Even with exploratory lighting, the Di Ke n were like transparent clouds of smoke that were difficult to detect in this war. It immediately aggravated the casualties on the head of the Southeast Fortress. In the air, the Monster Devil God and the Frightening Bull Devil God were finally in ce, and under their protection, the Dark Phoenix and the Curse Devil god Sts finally approached the city. Their magic was all in preparation. At this point in the battle, the Devils n finally gained the upper hand by virtue of the strong strength of the integration of space andnd. A dark green light suddenly became the focus of public attention, with a twisted channel in the process of falling from the air. The Curse Devil God Sts eyes were full of ferocious color. Go to hell, damned human beings. You killed Garbo. Id like to see how you can resist my corrosive swamp. The name sounded simple, but it was a real forbidden spell, full of curse power, aimed not only at people, but also at the city wall. But just at this time, a fiery red figure suddenly sprang up from the city tower, and a pair of huge fire wings spread out, pushing his body like lightning to the dark green light. The weapon in his hand was a spear, and at the front of the spear, a sparkling fiery red crystal suddenly appeared at the tip of the spear. The fiery red crystal just pierced into the dark green ball of light. The dark green light ball seemed to explode as soon as it stopped in the air. But the fiery red crystal that pierced into it exploded first. It was a mixture of red and green me, instantly rising in the air into a huge fire, and then, the flying fiery red figure pointed the spear to the distant sky Chapter 824 - Fatal Attack (I)

Chapter 824: Fatal Attack (I)

With the spear pointing at the sky in the hands of the red figure, the red and green mes suddenly turned into a huge pir of fire and rushed directly into the camp of the Two-Headed Devils nearby. Hundreds of Two-Headed Devils screamed mournfully under the terrifying mes. Even if a few Devils wanted to rescue them, it was toote. It was a warrior whose whole body was covered in fiery red armor. His spear was also fiery red. While the zing mes rose, his body looked illusory because of the heat around his body, and no one could see what he looked like at all. Such a powerful warrior! The four Devil Gods in the air were surprised, although they were not afraid of such an opponent, but the warriors practice level still surprised them. It seemed to be just a crystal, but it clearly was the use of domain skills! Otherwise, it wouldnt be so easy to dissolve a forbidden spell that had been in power for a long time. Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God, roared, and his huge body suddenly soared by 100 meters. His weapon, which was a huge long stick, grew bigger with the surge of his body andpletely protected the Curse Devil God Sts behind him. The giant stick swept across and went straight and bombarded the red warrior. The warrior gave a cold hum, the forefinger of the spear in his hand along with his body suddenly burst up. At the same time, the spear rose directly into the air with a circle of fire wheels, and a fire dragon flew high into the air in a rapid whirl. As soon as his body shed, he fell back to the head of the city and avoided Hagattis stick, the Frightening Bull Devil God. The fire wheel exploded high in the air and turned into fire des that scattered one after another. It immediatelyunched a heavy blow to the Two-Headed Devils, and hundreds of Two-Headed Devils perished under this blow. The Frightening Bull Devil God was furious, and with his own strong defense, he didnt care about the magic shot from the city tower. Behind him, the virtual shadow of a giant bull appeared slowly. The giant bull was all brown and yellow, and only its eyes were white. The smell of terror rose in an instant, and Hagattis thick muscles began to burst, mixed with strong blood vessels to make his already huge body even more terrifying. The stick in his hand also turned into a pir of light, with a bright brown light. Devil Deification. As one of the most powerful Devil Gods in the Devils n, he showed his strongest strength and suddenly fell toward the Southeast Fortress. With more than 150 meters in his hands and a giant stick with a chest diameter of 10 meters, he went straight to the city wall. By this attack of this giant stick, not to mention how many people would die, the entire Southeast Fortress wall might be blown open by him and a huge gap would appear. Just then, a yellow figure suddenly appeared in mid-air. The yellow figure looked strange. He was topless, his skin was iron-gray, but his whole body glowed with a strong yellow light. The majestic muscles showed strength and beauty, and the weapon in the hand was also a long stick. The top of the bald head reflected the yellow glow of the body, and a pair of eyes glowed with yellow fire. In the face of the terrifying stick of Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God, he unexpectedly greeted him with a long stick in his hand. The size and momentum of the two sides werepletely out of proportion! Boom There was a p of thunder over the Southeast Fortress, and the deafening sound made all the officers and warriors in the battle tremble, and the battlefield even came to a momentary standstill. In a shocking scene, the body of Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God, was shocked as he flew back thousands of meters away, and although the bald warrior was also pushed away, he quickly stabilized himself in the air. Was it equal? A human warrior was on a par with Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God, in terms of strength? This was incredible. Hagatti had already exerted his demonization and reached his strongest state. Even if he was not particrly good at fighting, his physical strength could rank in the top ten of all the Devil Gods. He-he. Interesting! The bald warriorughed before he shed, took the initiative to fight, and went straight to Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God. The previous fiery red figure also reappeared on the battlefield and went straight to the Curse Devil God Sts. There was no doubt that these two warriors were as strong as the level of the Devil Gods in this war, and they were no less inferior to the Curse Devil God and the Frightening Bull Devil God on a one-on-one basis, and they even slightly restrained each other in attributes. This had to be taken seriously by Samigina, the Undead Devil God whomanded the battle from a distance. How can there be such a strong man in the Southeast Fortress? Samigina was a little stunned, just as the Temple Federation knew about the Devils, and the Devils also had a deep study of the strong men of the Temple Federation. Samigina knew about the strong men of ninth level in the Warrior Temple very clearly, but in his impression, fire warriors and earth warriors did not seem to have such a strong existence! Naturally, with his practice level, Samigina knew the bald warrior couldpete with Hagatti, the Frightening Bull Devil God, because he was a strong domain user. The increase in the domain became his power, so that he could be on a par with the Devil-deified Hagatti. While Hagatti ranked 48th and did not have his own domain, his level nine of rank two practice level plus the Devil Deification did not take much advantagepared with the other party. If he couldnt defeat the other party in a Devil-deified state, then once the Devil Deification disappeared, he would be at a disadvantage. Thebat effectiveness of the famous fire warriors was even stronger, not only in domain, but also in domain skill. Fire could not restrain curses as well as light, but domain-level fire was different. It was not easy to defeat his opponent for the Curse Devil God Sts while he was afraid of his opponents closeness. Fortunately, there was no problem with the Monster Devil God Beevron and the Dark Phoenix. And then arge area of dark mes had fallen on the head of the fortress city. The function of the priest appeared at this moment, and a golden light was propped up above the city head to resist the erosion of the dark mes. On the other hand, the Ye Sanmi on city power picked up his bow again and gazed at the enchanted Phoenix. The previous scene of killing Garbo brought so much psychological pressure to Phoenix that his magic was interrupted once as he quickly dodged behind the Monster Devil God Beevron. Now his state of mind had settled down. Beevron dared not attack the city like this, and his first task was to protect Phoenix. Among the Devil Gods, ranking determined status. Phoenix, who ranked 37th, did not have his own domain, but he still ranked much higher than Beevron, who ranked 46th. It could be said that Ye Sanmi, by the virtue of his own strength, killed a Devil God and effectively contained two Devil Gods. This reduced thebat effectiveness of Phoenix a lot, and also made the Monster Devil God Beevron dare not to attack the city easily. Until now, most of the Eternal Heroes in the Southeast Fortress had not stepped in, as they were trying to hide their power. Lord Qiu, would you like to use our arrangements? an old man asked in a low voice next to Qiu Yonghao, and he had just killed arge area of the enemy with the sword domain. This old man was also an Eternal Hero, and there were two people around him. Although their bodies were covered under a big cloak, the fluctuations of the elements around their bodies were extremely sticky. No, not now. The Devils still havente out yet, Qiu Yonghao said quietly. At this time, his state of mind hadpletely calmed down, and after seeing the powerful strength of the Eternal Heroes, Qiu Yonghaos confidence had been greatly enhanced. With these Eternal Heroes in ce, how many chances would Samigina have? As he spoke, Qiu Yonghao rose to his feet and devoted himself to the battle. As the former master of the Warrior Temple, he understood the mystery of the sword and the domain of the sword, and he was very lethal on the battlefield. In order to avoid more casualties, Qiu Yonghao led a warrior above level six to rise against the Bird Devils and the Two-Headed Devils. The battlefield was stuck in a stalemate. And with the priests resistance to magic, human casualties gradually increased. Samigina looked coldly at the situation on the battlefield, and for some reason, he always felt as if he had missed something. Since the beginning of the war, he had invested a troop of 150,000 armies. Although it was not the strongest race he controlled, it was still close to one third of the total power level. Judging from the current situation, it was quite beneficial to them, and the Southeast Fortress was stuck on the battlefield, and he believed that as long as there was more investment, the war situation was bound to develop one-sided. However, he was in no hurry now, and he didnt have much pity for his elite army. He only cared about his own people. He felt that the life and death of other races had nothing to do with him. If more of them died, and when they sessfully plundered human resources, their own people could gain a little more. Most of the people who had not been sent to battle, except for an army of 100,000 Devils, were the same race with the Devil God. Although Samigina was in a high position, he must always give some face to other Devils, otherwise they might quarrel in front of the God of Devils and that would look ugly. The battle at the Southeast Fortress has already begun, Long Tianyin said to Long Haochen. They two of grandfather and grandson were in a small conference room, and in addition to them, so were all the members of the Dawn of Light hunting troupe. Long Haochen nodded and said, The information sent by Yue Ye is very urate. For us, this is an assured battle. Samigina is in the trap. What about the other side? Long Tianyin said, The enemy has also been found on the other side. It is estimated that within one or two days, the army led by Marbus, the Hell Devil God, and Warlifer, the Bear Devil God, will reach the Wan Shouguan. The cooperation between the hell Devils n and the bear Devils n is even more troublesome. However, although the old guy Chen Hongyu is usually very stingy. He hides a lot of good things. Im afraid its not easy for Marbus and Warlifer to take advantage of him. Chapter 825 - Fatal Attack (II)

Chapter 825: Fatal Attack (II)

Long Haochen said, We have less than two days from the three days God of Devils mentioned. I believe he is also watching the battlefield from over there. Even if the news is not as fast as ours, he will eventually know. Just let him be happy for a while. Im afraid he thought we didnt know what was going on there, and that we are not prepared for Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. Long Tianyin sighed and said, Its a pity that too many resources will be consumed this time. However, as long as we can determine the situation in the first war and defeat the Devils, its worth it. Im not worried about the Southeast Fortress and the Wan Shouguan, the most important thing is the God of Devils. Haochen, are you really sure that you can resist the attack of the God of Devils? Long Haochen smiled but he did not give his grandpa the answer. Was he really confident? Of course, there was some confidence. But could he defend God of Devils attack? How could he know before he fights? And ording to the analysis of the God of Devils from Ye Xiaolei, he had almost no chance. Of course, this was the case without counting in Hao Yue. And Hao Yue was hisst card, but only as thest resort that he would use this card because the emergence of Hao Yue would certainly make the God of Devils crazy. Caier, make sure to stay safe. Long Haochen patted Caiers hand beside him. Caier smiled and said, Dont worry, Ill be back soon. After saying this, she turned around and left quietly. Wang Yuanyuan said with a wry smile, If the quota is not too limited, I will go. I am not qualified for the title of the Lord of the Warrior Temple. Long Haochen smiled and said, Dont say that. The final battle will only be here. What we have to face is the most terrifying force of the Devils n, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to take action. Outside Yu Longguan, the Devils camp. Your Majesty, the army led by Samigina has arrived at the Southeast Fortress. He attacked the Southeast Fortress immediately. The moon god Agarez reported thetest news to the God of Devils. The God of Devilsid on his side on his dragon bed and smiled calmly. Hes in a hurry, he said. But it doesnt hurt to lose a little. Agarez could naturally understand the meaning of the God of Devils. Your Majesty, should we also exert some pressure on Yu Longguan? The God of Devils shook his head with a faint smile on his face. Theres no need to hurry. It should be humans who are in a hurry right now. I want to y a game with Long Haochen. Conquering slowly is more fun. He will not surrender to me until his faith ispletely crushed. Mankind has been umting wealth for six thousand years, and it is time for them to hand something over. You send my orders to Samigina and Marbus. I dont care what they do, but they must invade inside the Temple in the shortest possible time andunch an offensive against the Holy City. Roger. Agarez respectfully answered and quickly left the tent. Going outside of the tent, Agarez frowned slightly and thought to himself, this time, he was afraid that mankind really did not have a chance, as His Majesty used overt scheme only this time. A dayter at the Southeast Fortress. The walls of the entire Southeast Fortress had almost been stained with blood of various colors, and there were arge number of signs of destruction on the walls. Fortunately, the walls of the fortress were solid enough and were guarded by the Magic Array. The surface was riddled with holes, but the inside was still solid. The battle had been going on all day and night. Samigina, like crazy, mobilized the Devil army tounch wave after wave of offense, without giving the Southeast Fortress a chance to catch their breath. The 500,000 troops fought in turn, and when the first wave of offensive ended, the second wave rushed in immediately. In one day and one night, in addition to being caught by surprise at the beginning, which led to heavy losses for the Magic Eye Wizards and the Wild Devils, in general, they still upied an overwhelming advantage. Although they continuously repelled by the Southeast Fortress, the loss on the Southeast Fortress was not small, and the resistance seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. If the knights in the city had note out to attack several times, the loss would have been greater. However, the Devils ns loss was even greater. This siege had no cannon fodder, all elite, ording to statistics, 60,000 soldiers out of 500,000 Devil army, had been destroyed in battle. One could see how fierce the offensive was. The humans loss was not as great as that of the Devils because there were still half of the humans left. Among them, in the Southeast Fortress, the most killed and injured were the shield soldiers with the strongest defense. In most cases, they died to protect wizards, summoners, and priests. Shield soldiers guarded legal professionals with their lives and shields. Therefore, up to now, some of the 8,000 legal professionals had been injured, but very few, less than 300, had been killed. Such a proportion had to be said to be a miracle in such a fierce battlefield. Wizards, summoners, and priests were now red-eyed and desperate to fight. Day and night, as legal professionals, they never went to town to have a rest. It was not Qiu Yonghao who refused to let them go, but they refused to leave. Watching theirpanions die in battle to protect themselves, the wizards all turned red. At least half of the more than three hundred legal professions died in order to burn their lives to cast magic. The strong men of the six temples of the Southeast Fortress had all killed fiercely and pushed back the aggressive offensive of the Devils, and they were now even crazier than the Devils. At this point in the battle, willpower and fighting spirit were often more important than strength. Under the city of the Southeast Fortress, the corpse had long been piled up like a mountain. Damn it, Samigina is crazy. Qiu Yonghao stood wearily at the city tower and scold angrily. A day and a night had passed, and it was soon the next day, but the offensive of the Devils had not abated at all. Moreover, Qiu Yonghao could clearly see that the Devil army had long been very tired, and those who were strong couldnt even fight with 80% of their strength. But even so, Samigina refused to give up and kept directing them to attack the city. This army of 500,000 Devils had not had a rest since the beginning, when they marched here! Constantly fighting on the battlefield, no humanmander wouldmand his army like this, but Samigina did. And he had killed four tribalmanders with dissenting opinions. Over a dozen Devil Gods, other than Garbo, who was the first to fall, and other Devil Gods also went into battle in turn. Although they didnt make it through the defense, they greatly restrained the strength of the Southeast Fortress. How long can our arrangementst? Qiu Yonghao asked the Eternal Hero who was covered in a cloak around him. The sticky light element was being injected into Qiu Yonghaos body from the hands of this Eternal Hero, who was obviously a wizard. These Eternal Heroes were transferred from the Assassin Temple. There will be no problem in two days. My arrangement canst up to five days, therefore at least two days apart from the time for preparations. All right. Qiu Yonghao clenched his teeth. I dont believe that Samigina can attack for two more days without being trapped by us. I will fight to death and stand up until that time. The number of soldiers and resources gathered in the Southeast Fortress was quiterge, and as long as the strong men were not suppressed too much by each other, the battlefield that seemed to be less resistant would not copse. Samigina was also a little restless at the moment. Day and night had passed, and human resistance was still tenacious. What surprised him most was not the avability of the six temples of the Southeast Fortress, but the addition of five or six domain-level warriors of the Southeast Fortress, especially the one with the Divine Weapon bow and arrow. It was because of his threat that the Devil God who went up did not dare to attack with all his strength and was wary of being attacked. On the Devils side, the morale had begun to waver. With the exception of 100,000 Devils, all other races had fought in turn, and all had suffered varying degrees of damage. More importantly, after a continuous rapid march and a day-and-night battle, the Devil army was very tired. The voice of discontent underlings was getting louder and louder, and even the way the Devils looked at Samigina was getting worse and worse. Any fool could see what Samigina had in mind. His own army of Devils had a nice rest for a day and a night, and they were now at the best state. But Samigina did not let them go to war, lest his direct line Devils should be damaged. If not for Samigina and the four Devil Gods around him who were not too powerful, other Devil Gods would have put forward different opinions. Everyones patience had a limit, except for that of Samigina, the highest ranked Devil God here was the eleventh post. If it were to go on like this, Samigina might not be able to control the situation. After all, he had alreadymitted some public anger. Lets go talk to the Undead Devil God. One Devil God finally couldnt help and stood up abruptly. Twelve of the sixteen Devils responded to his call and walked towards Samigina together. At this time, Samigina slowly rose from his position and said in a quiet voice, Pass the order, the army in front of the battlefield right now will stop. The Vicious Devil troop will all attack. I will lead them to the battle and kill the enemy. As he spoke, a pair of huge Devil wings spread slowly behind him, and he looked coldly at the Devil Godsing over to him. All of a sudden, those Devil Gods stoppeding forward. The army of Devils in front retreated like a tide, while an army of 100,000 Devils marched slowly ahead. The great Devils above the sixth level pped their wings and flew into the air, while those below the sixth level were all infantry or cavalry, forming a neat formation and slowly closing in on the Southeast Fortress. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, finally used his most powerful army, the Vicious Devil race. The continuous fighting put great pressure on the Southeast Fortress. Although the Devils had a great loss, so did the Southeast Fortress. The strong men were now tired, the warriors were sharply reduced, and the wizards consumed too much magic, and were at their weakest time. Chapter 826 - Fatal Attack (III)

Chapter 826: Fatal Attack (III)

Samiginas aim was to break into the Temple Federation in the shortest possible time. How could he miss such a good opportunity? Therefore, he was going tounch a deadly attack at the most vulnerable time of the Southeast Fortress. Sess in one fell swoop. Out of the 500,000 soldiers, the most powerful 100,000 finally appeared on the battlefield to aplish their sess in one battle. The rest of the more than a dozen Devil Gods did not follow Samigina to fight, and at this moment, even those who did not belong to any race were full of resentment in their eyes. Of course, they could see Samiginas ambition and purpose, but there was nothing they could do. The overall strength of the Vicious Devils n was so strong that it even surpassed the Moon Devils n and the Star Devils n. One hundred thousand Devils, what a terrifying strength. The four Devil Gods, plus countless Devil Lords,manders and Great Devils, had the unity of magic and force, physical strength, and wisdom not inferior to that of human beings. What a horrifying sight it was when one hundred thousand Vicious Devils went out at the same time! Even if the other Devil Gods knew that Samigina was going to take all the credit for himself at this time, and to take away the maximum profit from breaking the Southeast Fortress, what could they do now? Could they fight against the Undead Devil God of the Five Pirs? They couldnt, and they wouldnt dare. Even though they were still gathering more than 300,000 troops, they were not united, especially those races that did not have Devil Pirs would not obey them. No Devil God dared to take the lead. They could argue, but they dared not really resist his order. There was a brief peace on the battlefield in front of the Southeast Fortress, but the atmosphere throughout the battlefield became more depressing. Arge number of Devil troops retreated from the front, and as they retreated, they gradually dispersed to the left and right. This also made the heartstrings of the six professional strong men in the Southeast Fortress who had just rxed more tense instantly. An army of 100,000 Vicious Devils, who came overwhelmingly close to the Southeast Fortress, deliberately slowed down at the request of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, so that the great pressure was more deeply imprinted on the hearts of every soldier in the Southeast Fortress. At the head of the Southeast Fortress, no matter what kind of profession they were, some of them took part in the holy war five years ago. But even during that Holy War, the Devils had never been as mad as they were today. The ount of loss they had day and night would not stop this wild attack. They were all the most powerful races and elites of the Devils, and this was the first time they had seen such a situation. The Devils n would not stop! Although the loss of the Southeast Fortress was not as great as that of the Devils n, there was injury of a thousand enemies and eight hundred self-damage, and for some reason, the original disappearance of the magic-guided cannon of the fortress did not emerge from the st hole. Although the six professions had greatly enhanced theirbat effectiveness, the enemy was way too strong. Five hundred thousand elite Devils! What a terrifying strength this was. At this time, the Southeast Fortress, most of the soldiers were already tired. Soldiers and knights were better because of their ownrge number. They could take turns to go to the city to rest and recuperate. However, the wizards never got to rest. Even if Qiu Yonghao let them, they refused. They insisted on fighting continuously on the top of the city tower and that had made them tired to death, and their magic had long been exhausted. Even if there was a magic crystal supplement, their spirits were too overdrawn, and the eyes of almost every legal professional turned bloody. However, the war was not over, and Samigina, the Undead Devil God, had no intention to postpone the fight by any means. On the contrary, he had finallyunched his own army of Devils, 100,000 Vicious Devils, which was also the most powerful force in this army. At the head of the Southeast Fortress, many peoples eyes had begun to be desperate. Although they were by no means inferior to each other in terms of quantity, everyone knew very well what kind ofbat effectiveness the Devils had, and once this demonic army attacked the city on a full scale, it was impossible for them to resist. Qiu Yonghao stared like an eagle at the approaching army of Devils. He could feel the weakness, helplessness and despair of the soldiers in the Southeast Fortress, but in his heart, the sense of war was still strong. Come on, Samigina,e on. Ive waited long enough for you. Fellow seniors, get ready to begin, Qiu Yonghao said respectfully to the three wizards around him. Xiao Qiu, you are very good, indeed worthy to be the Lord of the Warrior Temple. The wizard suddenly praised Qiu Yonghao out of the blue, and then the three wizards quickly turned away and disappeared on top of the city in the blink of an eye. Tired knights and soldiers who fell to the ground got up and picked up their weapons, and the wizards also struggled to raise their wands. There was only a little of magic left that they could unleash, and only at thest critical moment they might be able to kill more enemies. The despair in everyones eyes began to turn into determination. The Holy War was an endless war between the two races, and there was no room for conciliation. With the Devils n on such a crazy offensive, everyone knew how the Devils n would ughter once the Southeast Fortress city was broken. In that case, they might as well die in battle. The battlefield was the best training ce for any professional. Here, it was not only their practice, but also the nature of their minds. There was no doubt that with theing of the Devil army, every professional of the six temples had been sublimated in their hearts. If they were still alive after this war, there was no doubt that they would all be the true elites of the six temples. All legal professions rest in ce. Qiu Yonghao suddenly issued some inexplicable orders, which surprised the wizards, summoners and priests on the head of the city tower. The enemy was almost at hand. But he let them rest? Thats an order. Mankind will win. Qiu Yonghao stressed and at the same time, his eyes had been fixed on Samigina, the Undead Devil God in the distant sky. The Vicious Devil army on the ground ounted for 70% of all the Devils, and 30% of the Devils were all above level six that could fly in the air, but they did not fly high. In order to increase the pressure on the Southeast Fortress, they all flew within a range of one to 150 meters from the ground. The Vicious Devils n was a powerful race with the unity of magic and war. In terms of the overall strength of the race, they were only inferior to the Anti-Heavenly Dragons. The four Devil Godsmanded their armies in four directions, with Samigina in the middle. There was disdain and intense killing intention on his face. Despite the twists and turns, the Southeast Fortress was more tenacious than expected, but none of this was important. Samigina was absolutely certain to break the Southeast Fortress in the next offensive round. At that time, the people of these six temples would only be stepping stones for him to move forward. The Devil wouldnt kill ordinary humans, but they would show no mercy to the professionals of the six temples. This was the best opportunity to attack human beings. If they were not maimed, how could the Devils continue to maintain an absolute advantage? The Vicious Devil army was getting closer and closer. Five miles, four miles, three miles Atst, the Vicious Devil army was less than a mile away from the city tower. Samiginas terrifying appearance had been fully presented to all human beings. The air of death gray was released around his body, and the horrific smell of death turned into a huge Devil avatar in the air, as if it was ready to take a bite of the Southeast Fortress. Although he was the only one to appear this time, as the fourth horrifying among the 72 Pir Devil Gods, the previous Devil Gods might not be as powerful as him. And Samigina was absolutely convinced that no human in the southeastern fortress couldpete with him. Samigina. Just then, a delicate voice sounded in the air. The sound was sudden, but unusually clear, and the sound seemed to being from all directions. The strong sound made Samigina, the Undead Devil God, shook slightly, from which he could tell that someone terrible wasing. The next moment, Samigina seemed to see the most terrible thing. Unexpectedly he retreated and was thousands of meters away in an instant with a look of horror. What did he see? It was a pagoda, a pagoda that suddenly appeared in mid-air and fell from the sky. The pagoda was presented in white, which was full of majestic white. In the process of falling, it became bigger and bigger and it shone under the white light. Itnded right on top of Devils head statue in the air. Everyone knew that the Devils head statue was condensed from the power of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, but at this moment, the statue copsed under the suppression of the pagoda that it couldnt even escape in front of the white light, and it instantly turned into wisps of gray smoke and disappeared in the white light, while the fiery white light became even more eye-catching. The advancing army of Vicious Devils seemed to be under some heavy pressure, and the Devils in the sky fell to the ground one after another, and they all looked into the air in horror at the same time. And that pagoda, at this time had grown to more than 100 meters high, in the white light inside, faint colorful glow spread. A Divine WeaponThere was no doubt that this was a Divine Weapon! But even a Divine Weapon was not enough to make an army of 100,000 Devils so afraid. What they were afraid of was the white light emitted from this Divine Weapon. That aura made the dark forces in every Devil surged and trembled violently. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, hadpletely lost his previous calmness and certainty, and his eyes were full of fears. That was the pagoda. That was the pagoda. If someone were to ask Samigina who the person he was afraid most in his life was, he would certainly answer the God of Devils, there was no doubt about it. But if someone were to ask him what he feared most in the world, his answer must be the pagoda that he once faced at Yu Longguan, which was the Tower of Eternity of Long Haochen at that time. Chapter 827 - Caier VS Samigina (I)

Chapter 827: Caier VS Samigina (I)

At that time, the Tower of Eternity almostpletely swallowed up and destroyed Samiginas domain, the Undead Devil God, and it left him painful memories. After that, it took him three years to recover, and it took him five years to fully repair the damage. At this moment, the Tower of Eternity reappeared, and although the color of gold had turned to white, the fear in Samiginas heart was even stronger. Even after he suffered a big lossst time, he knew that there might be no problem if he did not use his domain, but he still looked ghostly in the face of the Tower of Eternity. At the top of the Tower of Eternity, a pretty figure stood proudly above the spire, dressed in a long ck dress that made her stand out on the top of the white tower, and there was a shining blue and purple from the huge ck sickle in her hand. Looking at Samigina, the Undead Devil God, the horrifying murderous moment bloomed, together with the white glow released from the huge pagoda, which unexpectedly stunned all the Devils. The one that could control the Tower of Eternity and unleash the power of purification to frighten the Devils was obviously the vice president of the Temple Federation, the deputy head of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, the Goddess of Death, the Reincarnation Saint, Caier! No one noticed that when the Devils fell to the ground one after another, Qiu Yonghao showed a glimmer of ecstasy in his eyes, waved his right hand down to the city, and a golden light shed in the air. Without the appearance of Caier, Samigina would have noticed such an obvious golden light, but at this moment, Caierpletely attracted all his attention. Not to mention the deep fear of the Tower of Eternity, the aura emitted from Caier also made him feel a strong threat. Level nine of rank five? Is that the aura of level nine of rank five? No way. Since when do human beings have a strong man of level nine of rank five? And it is such a young girl who controlled the Tower of Eternity that had left him with painful memories. In the Devils ns understanding of human beings, it seemed that only Yang Haoyu, the Holy Knight of Starry Sky who was far away in the Knight Temple and had not appeared on the battlefield for a long time, was at level nine of rank five. Of course, there was a strong rise of Long Haochen, it was also possible to reach that level. But why was there a girl at this level? Samigina suddenly had an indescribable feeling that the deployment of the God of Devils was foolproof in his view, and the two sides were irresistible to human beings. But in the battlefield of this Southeast Fortress, mankind had appeared one after another, and this time it was a level nine strong girl that he didnt know of. It seemed that everything did not follow the track they had nned, and a lot of variables had appeared. And would this variable lead to the ultimate route? However, Samigina was, after all, one of the five Pirs of the Devil. Although his heart was very afraid of Caier, he soon returned to normal. His cold voice resounded throughout the audience. Vicious Devils, attack. At the same time, Samigina burst out a strong gray glow all over his body, and then the gray glow waspletely integrated into himself, making his whole body transparent, and the strong aura of deathpletely converged, and the pir of death, which belonged to him in the distance, also beamed with an eye-catching gray luster. To describe the current state of Samigina in a human way, he was using the domain for me. Isnt that Tower of Eternity will absorb my domain? Well, I wont let my domain out of my body and lets see how you can absorb it this time. Samiginas strength was beyond doubt. While the Devil Pir lit up, his body soared rapidly in the air, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a huge Devil as tall as 300 meters high with his body of gray crystal color. His change immediately boosted the morale of the whole Devil army, and the speed of the previous suppression broke out instantly, and a hundred thousand troops pounced on the Southeast Fortress at the same time. But it was at this time, when the Devils above level six had not yet risen from the ground, suddenly, a strange aura spread all over the battlefield. To be exact, it was within two thousand meters of the Southeast Fortress. At this time, an army of 100,000 Devils had all stepped into this range. Under the influence of that strange aura, the speed at which all the Devils had just risen suddenly slowed down a little bit, and the next moment, the earth suddenly lit up. This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, and an extremely ominous premonition appeared on his mind. This is bad. Samiginas terrifying and huge body hurried to the ground, and at the same time, with a stroke of his hands in the air, a huge gray spear appeared in his hands, and there was a colorful light shining on it. It was a Divine Weapon. But why did Caiere? It was in order not to give Samigina a chance to influence the wholeyout n of Long Haochen! As soon as Samiginas body fell, the pagoda, which he feared most, crashed at him at an astonishing speed. During the flight, all the purification light previously released by the Tower of Eternity converged, and a pure white lotus was added to the top of the tower where Caier had been standing on. On one side, there was a strong foreboding from the ground, and on the other, a terrifying attack that threatened Samiginas life. There was no doubt that as a Devil God, he must put his life first. What was the safety of his peoplepared to his own life? Therefore, even if Samigina was not willing to, at this time he could only resist Caiers attack, rather than taking the sudden light on the ground into ount. The earth was boiling, it was the boiling of golden light. The golden patterns with a diameter of 100 meters began to appear quietly on the earth, and the golden light fog rose in the blink of an eye, covering the height of 100 meters from the ground to the air instantly. Each gold pattern was simr in appearance, 100 meters in diameter, with manyplex runes on it. The magic hexagram was in the center, and those runes seemed to be alive at this time, floating upward with the rise of the golden fog. There were about thirty of such patterns, and there was a certain distance between each. However, when the thirty golden patterns lit up on the earth without warning at the same time, it gave the impression that the in in front of the Southeast Fortress had turned golden. In the distance, the army of Devils of all races who had just retreated were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. What kind of power was this? In the history of the war between the Devils n and mankind, such a spectacle had never appeared before. Mankind had nevere up with such a means of war! But what on earth were those golden formations? Just when they were still shocked, the Devils began to hear a lot of screams, and the golden fog, like a sticky liquid, already trapped most of the Devils. Only some of the earliest and strongest Devils had time to rush out of the light fog and rose into the sky. However, the vast majority of Devils, especially those who could not fly, could only be shrouded in a mist of light. Boom The first roar sounded in the center of all 30 golden phnx, and when the roar sounded again, the golden phnx at the core suddenly burst into fiery golden light, which was like the suns light at the moment of outburst. The sound of terror buried the screams of all the Devils. The scope of the light explosion expanded instantly, from a diameter of 100 meters to a range covering a diameter of 300 meters. Viewed from the sky, there seemed to be a big golden fireball on the ground, and the core of the fireball was even incandescent. This was clearly a forbidden spell-level magic! Even if it was not the forbidden spell, it was pretty much at the same level. With the first explosion, there was a second, 30 golden legal arrays, which broke out one after another in a short period of ten seconds. And in mid-air, the collision between Samigina and the Tower of Eternity had just ended. Unlike the golden bursts on the ground, white and gray collided with each other in the air. There was no particrly strong roar, but the whole sky was distorted at the moment of the collision between the Tower of Eternity and Samigina. Samiginas face was also distorted, and what he felt this time was not the terrifying soul-devouring power of the previous Tower of Eternity, but the purification power that had the frightening purifying power of all the aura of death. What was even more frightening was that when the huge volume of the Tower of Eternity hit him hard, the strange lotus flower at the top of the tower lit up, and pieces of white petals shot out and went straight to his body. A strong sense of crisis made Samigina desperately deified himself to the strongest degree. The whole person was like a gray gem that burst out the strongest light; the spear in his hand had colorful luster blooming, waving airtight. However, under this collision, Samiginas one third of his 300-meter-high body directly copsed, and the gray light converged, only 200 meters left, and he was directly hit back thousands of meters away from the battlefield in front of the Southeast Fortress. The gray emitted by the Devil-deified version of Samiginas body was all absorbed by the Tower of Eternity, and Caier reappeared on the top of the tower again. Looking at Samigina, the momentum rose instead of falling, and firmly locked on the Undead Devil God. Long Haochen let Caiere to the Southeast Fortress due to his thoughtful consideration. In terms of strength alone, Caiers practice level had broken through level nine of rank five. She also had two Divine Weapons, the Sickle of Death, and the Tower of Eternity. Compared with the Devil God of Five Pirs, she was at most close to Marbus under the premise of using the Twelve Sacred Saints. After all, the Devil Pirs of the Devils ns Five Pirs were at least close to the existence of the Imperial Weapon. Although Caier was strong, she was still weak in pure strength. Chapter 828 - Caier VS Samigina (II)

Chapter 828: Caier VS Samigina (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio However, there was a term in this world called counterraction. This was true in terms of strength, but it really was the opposite on the battlefield. If Caier had met the Hell Devil God Marbus instead, she might be caught in an uphill battle. However, when she appeared in front of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, it became a tragedy for Samigina. The powerful undead spells and abilities on which he became famous for, and even his Pir of Death, would be suppressedpletely in front of Caier, just like when Caier suppressed almost all the undead kings on her own in Hao Yues ne. In the face of the power of purification, all the aura of death was in vain. Long Haochen let Caiere to the Southeast Fortress in order to suppress the strongest spirits, but as for other Devils, there was nothing to be afraid of. A terrifying golden ball of light burst on the ground, and the light element even formed a terrifying element storm. When all thirty legal arrays exploded, even the strong ones of Caier and Samigina dared not stay in their original position but quickly fled high into the air. A hundred thousand Vicious Devils could only be seen flying into the air, they seemed like a very small number like flies.. And a lot of the Vicious Devils were buried in that golden sea. Not to mention the Devils n in the distance, even the professionals of the six temples on the Southeast Fortress were equally stunned. Who would have thought there would be such a terrifying scene on the battlefield? In front of the Southeast Fortress, within five kilometers of length, it was all turned into a golden sea. And the fury of the golden light was enough to drive people crazy. Even if it was a super forbidden spell, it couldnt achieve such destructive power! Even if the God of Devils was here, when all these arrays exploded, he had no chance of stopping it. This, this was... Ha ha ha. Qiu Yonghao, the master of the Warrior Temple, stood on the battlements,ughing almost hysterically. He had lived for more than a hundred years, but never in his life had he been as happy as he was today. The Devils n, an army of 100,000 Vicious Devils, was buried in front of the Southeast Fortress. What an important victory it was! In the whole Southeast Fortress, except for the wizards who set this deadly trap, he was the only one who knew that there was such a terrifying attack waiting for the Devils n. That was why he remained calm all the time. This deadly trap was reserved for the Vicious Devils. Samigina waspletely shocked, suspended in mid-air, looking at the boiling golden ocean below, his facial muscles becamepletely stiff. How is thishow is this possible? No way He wanted to shout and question like crazy, but now he couldnt even make a sound. As the Fourth Pir Devil God of the Devils n, the chief of the Vicious Devils n, His 100,000 troops with an overall strength of the second most powerful in the entire Devils n, unexpectedly was covered by the terror of the light system forbidden spell. Feeling the raging storm of the light element, he didnt hope for any stroke of luck. Even himself, at the heart of this elemental storm, might not be able to escape unscathed. Trap, this is the trap of despicable human beings! But howe they have such a trap? There were too many questions in Samiginas mind. At this moment, his brain even fell into a nk. It was totally uneptable to ept the facts in front of him. He originally thought victory was in sight, but instantly fell to the bottom while watching his own people perish. The effect of this blow was too big for him. This time, all the Vicious Devils who were good at fighting were out, and only old and young women and children were left in the tribe. It could be said that this 100,000 Vicious Devil army was the main force of the Devils n. And this force was Samiginas greatest reliance. Ah! Samigina, the Undead Devil God, roared up to the sky, and his gray body swelled madly in the midst of his crazy roar. This time, he went straight up to 500 meters away. His eyes hadpletely turned to blood red, and there were even cracks in his extremely swollen body, from which a strong aura of death leaked. In the face of such a heavy blow, Samigina, the Undead Devil God, approached madness. From the collision just now, of course, he could feel Caiers overall suppression on himself. At this time, he was desperate to directlyunch the Devils Disintegration Method, he wanted revenge, he had to kill all human beings to be able to reconcile. He became crazy. He waspletely crazy. The Pir of Undead in the distance burst out with an unprecedented bright gray light, shining straight on Samigina, who was covered with gray armor. The Pir of Undead in the distance actually disappeared the next moment, and the spear in Samiginas hand suddenly skyrocketed, with gray lines looming. He turned his Devil Pir into a weapon of terror. Caier coldly looked at the change of Samigina, and her beautiful eyes became empty. She knew that she had to stop Samigina anyway, because no strong man in the Southeast Fortress could stop him in his present state. Samigina was already determined to retaliate. Twelve different colors of light shoot out of the Tower of Eternity at full speed, forming a circle to protect Caier. It was the Twelve Sacred Saints left to her by the Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. Caier was really sure that she could control the undead scourge Samigina. Her practice level was not inferior to her opponent, coupled with thepletepatibility of the attribute and the strong deterrent of the Tower of Eternity towards Samigina. However, Samigina couldnt stand it. He tried desperately when he lost his mind. His state at this time was like Po who just met Long Haochen. The Twelve Sacred Saints surrounded Caier in the center. Twelve of them were divided into two circles, six warriors and six wizards, all withplete attributes of the six elements. Six colors twinkled, and the Twelve Sacred Saints formed arge and a small two six-colored six-pole star, arch guard in the center of the mining. The dense six-colored light rose, and the huge force of the elements converged to Caier in the center, and when the six-colored light entered the hexagonal range of the second hexagonal star core, it turned into a pure force of chaos. The legal array was invented by Electrolux, the Deathly Hallows and the scourge of the undead. At the beginning, with his own strong strength and the full support of the Twelve Sacred Saints, he was able topete with all the strong human beings on almost the whole continent. Although the Twelve Sacred Saints were weaker than the time when they followed Electrolux and did not reach the domain level, they were still twelve ninth-level strong ones. Under theirmon arrangement, Caiers own aura immediately showed a geometric multiple growth. The intensity of that increase was evenparable to the Devils Disintegration of Samigina. Standing at the top of the Tower of Eternity, the Sickle of Death was held high in Caiers hand, and the original ck sickle gradually turned into a crystal clear white, and the rich purification power instantly turned into a huge purification glow and spread. It was the sign that Caier had released the domain of self-purification in an all-round way. While releasing the domain of purification, Caier did not meet the crazy Samigina, but urged the Tower of Eternity to fall downwards. The domain of purification was also falling down toward the storm of the elements of light that was weakening from the strongest fluctuations. If Samigina had any sense at this time, he must have understood what Caier was doing. However, now he was in a state of madness, pointing the spear in his hand to the front, the huge body stepped out of the void, instantly reached the sky, swung under the spear, and mmed directly at Caier. At this time, Samigina was so strong that his blow tore a huge opening in the sky, and the horrifying heterogeneous storm was raging so wildly in the air that the storm pulled the light elements below and converged toward the top. However, this helped Caier instead. An army of 100,000 Vicious Devils was almost wiped out under the series of explosions of the terrifying elements of Light, and tens of thousands of lives were destroyed. The lives of the Devils n were also lives! There would also be aura of death after their death. Light did notpletely purify death, but Caiers domain of purification could, and the process of purifying death was equivalent to the increase of her own strength. It could be seen that the silky white purification power was filtered out and injected into the Tower of Eternity in the process of the upward surge of the light elements below. It was only through the second purification of the Tower of Eternity that it was introduced into Caiers body, plus the increase of the Dharma of the Twelve Sacred Saints. Caiers momentum as a whole person had also been raised to an unprecedented height. The Sickle of Death was lifted up, and the divine light shone in Caiers eyes, and the next moment, a mournful white light lit up in the air which collided with the falling spear. Although the volume of the two sides waspletely out of proportion, when they collided with each other, Samigina and Caier shook at the same time. Samiginas spear was forced to rise above, and Caier hummed, and a trace of blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, but she made it to defend Samiginas blow. Samigina burst out a shout, at this time, his domain of death, plus the power of deification and Devils Disintegration Method, was fully integrated into this body. Under the collision with Caiers Seven Deaths just now, the magic of the undead was defused again. If this kind of battle continued, he would never get the upper hand. However, now Samigina was so crazy that he turned his spear regardless of his own safety, the gray from his whole body condensed towards the spear, and all the runes on the spear lit up. The atmosphere of terror broke out in an all-round way, and the spear was turned into a Devil Pir hundreds of meters long in the air and smashed directly at Caier. Chapter 829 - Caier VS Samigina (III)

Chapter 829: Caier VS Samigina (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The power of the Devil Pir was really terrifying, in the Devils n 72 Pirs of the Devil God, not all could directly use their own Devil Pir as a weapon. Only the five Pirs Devil Gods could do it. Unprecedented pressure immediately fell on Caier. Even if she absorbed a lot of the aura of death from the outside with her power of purification, she couldnt help but change her expression. This was clearly Samiginas desperate attack! In a sh of body, Caier and the Twelve Sacred Saints disappeared into the Tower of Eternity at the same time, and the Tower of Eternity whirled crazily. At the spire, lotus flowers bloomed out one after another, crashing into the pir of undead in the air, while the Tower of Eternity fell rapidly and dodged below. The bombardment of each lotus flower on the Devil Pir would cause a series of big explosions, but it still could not stop it from falling. Finally, the next moment the Tower of Eternity fell to the ground, the pir of undead fell across the board, right on top of the Tower of Eternity. The violent roar shook all over the country, and the surrounding light element storm was dispelled by this terrifying energy fluctuation. There was arge number of Vicious Devils wreckage on the ground.. The ones who could leave the wreckage were the stronger Vicious Devils who were still alive. If its practice level was too low, it had long been annihted by flying ashes. The Tower of Eternity was smashed by the pir of the undead, which rigidly sank fouryers, and only the top three floors were still above the ground. The light of purification emitted by the whole Tower of Eternity suddenly dimmed so much that there were many cracks in the surrounding air. Caier appeared again while the Tower of Eternity quietly disappeared, and the next moment, Caier with the Twelve Sacred Saints had rushed into the sky. The Sickle of Death flew out and soared a hundred meters in the air, tantly chopping towards Samigina. Samigina unexpectedly did not dodge in the face of the attack of this purification de, and his Devil Pir swept brazenly, as if he were going to perish together with Caier. What a madman! Caiers eyes shone with cold light. She retreated instantly in the air, and of course she didnt want to die with Samigina. But her Sickle of Death was still chopping at the opponent. Samiginas mental state was crazy, but his fighting instinct was still there. He picked up the back end of his Devil Pir and broke the Sickle of Death. At the same time, at least fifty gray runes flew out at the front of the pir and headed straight for Caier. The power of terror turned into a death storm in the air. The power of purification could purify the power of death, but when the power of death was concentrated to a certain extent, it would take some time to purify. And Samigina obviously wouldnt give her that time. Silhouettes quietly stood in front of Caiers body and turned into a human wall. Lines of colored light burst in the air. Caier hummed again, and her body retreated thousands of meters in the air. She spurted out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the golden light shone on her body, and more attacks were defused. After all, the aura of the dead couldnt really hurt her. However, of the Twelve Sacred Saints, six warriors had been torn to pieces by the terrifying power of the undead, and it would take them some time toe back to life inside the Tower of Eternity. Samigina now gave people an invincible sense of terror. He raised his Devil Pir again, but this time he let Caier go, but went straight to the Southeast Fortress and smashed hard. The soldiers of the Southeast Fortress were in a state of extreme excitement, but they also saw the changes in Samigina in the air. The Undead in this state was really terrifying. A colorful streamer shed across the sky and flew to Samigina. It was Ye Sanmis divine bow that exuberated. Samigina did not dodge at all but allowed the terrifying arrow, which killed the Arcane Devil God Garbo in one blow, to fall on his body. The arrownded on the armor-covered Samigina, which then only exploded a rift and did not hurt his body at all. Samiginas Devil Pir still kept falling towards the Southeast Fortress fiercely. At this time, the strong men of the Southeast Fortress could no longer hide their strength, and all the Eternal Heroes shone with dazzling brilliance. Knowing that they could not fight against it, they had to do it still. Otherwise, once the pir of Samigina fell on the Southeast Fortress, it would be the destruction of life! Even the city walls would bepletely destroyed. Although the Vicious Devils were almost wiped out, there were still more than 300,000 Devils out there, without the protection of the city wall, and the Southeast Fortress could not be preserved. Caiers figure once again appeared in front of all the strong men in the city tower, with the Sickle of Death shining in her hands, changing movement one after another in the air, looking like a graceful dance step, and the domain of purification was instantly recovered. As a result, her practice had been promoted to the extreme, and her strength in the domain had burst out in an all-round way. The first, the Early Death, the second, the Purity of Death, the third, the Roar of Death, the fourth, the Kiss of Death, and the fifth, the Fading Death. The five death steps came out together, then followed the sixth death steps, the Path of Death. This was the strongest blow in Caiers life, and the power of purification turned into a huge light de to cut the Samiginas pir of undead. Horrifying collisions burst out in the air, countless howls of grievances sounded in the air, and were instantly swallowed by the power of purification. At least half of the gray on the pir of undead disappeared under the purification of the Path of Death, but the pir itself resisted Caiers Sickle of Death. Sonorous In the sound of the explosion, the Sickle of Death was raised high, and Samiginas huge body retreated hundreds of meters. The aura of death dropped sharply. However, Caiers condition was much more miserable than he was, spurting two mouthfuls of blood in a row, and her entire body directly hit the wall of the Southeast Fortress, crashing the wall through 30 meters before she was able to stabilize her body. The remaining six Sacred Saints were all broken in order to help Caier withstand the blow. At this time, she seemed to have reached the point of exhaustion. Samigina was terrifying, to be exact, the Devil Pir was terrifying. This was close to the existence of an Imperial Weapon that couldpletely suppress the Sickle of Death even when the attribute was restrained. However, now Samiginas state was definitely not good, at the same time the implementation of Devils deification and the Devils Disintegration Method was an extreme overdraft for him. Under normal circumstances, he was unable to beat Caier, but under this kind of overdraft, she waspletely suppressed, which showed how horrifying his consumption was now. After the blow was bounced back, Samiginas body trembled violently, and the red light in his fundus were about to copse. However, he still raised his Devil Pir again. The aura of terror had once again been raised to the extreme. Even if he were to die, he would take the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Fortress to be buried with him. The power of death in the second half of the Pir of Undead extended so crazily that even Samiginas own armor waspletely transformed into the force of death at this time. His next blow was even more terrifying than before, because it was probably hisst all-out blow. In the sky, the remaining Devils saw the patriarch unexpectedlyunch an attack of destruction in this way, and they all fell into a state of madness, frantically dispelling the fear in their hearts. Under the leadership of the four Devil Gods, fewer than 10,000 high-order Devils frantically pounced on the Southeast Fortress. The Vicious Devils was really a Vicious Devil, even if they were plotted by a deadly trap, they still had to break the Southeast Fortress until the veryst minute. Samigina wanted other Devils ns to make cannon fodder for his Vicious Devils n, but he never expected that the end result would turn out to be like this. The distant Devil army and Devil Gods had no intention toe forward to help, the Devil army was tired to death, and the Devil Gods dissatisfaction with Samigina had long been on the verge of outbreak. Seeing that the Vicious Devils had suffered so much, they could only gloat in their hearts. They were naturally overjoyed to see Samigina desperately attack the Southeast Fortress at all costs. As long as the Southeast Fortress was broken, they would be the biggest beneficiaries! What did it have to do with them as to whether Samigina was dead or alive? Perhaps many of them would rise in the rankings because of the deaths of Samigina and Garbo. Caier was in sharp pain all over the body at this time, and her body was constantly shing with golden luster, which was obviously the light of life sharing in the soul chain. If it were not for the existence of life sharing she could not afford to withstand by now. The outburst of Undead Devil God was very horrifying, which she had never thought of before. At the same time, she was also deeply aware of her mistakes. As an assassin, she should not havepeted head-on with Samigina, even if she thought she was in an absolute advantage. Caier struggled to leap out of the wall, while the nine Eternal Heroes supporting the Southeast Fortress and the three Eternal Heroes and twenty warriors from the Assassin Temple were all engaged in the battle. Fighting with the Vicious Devils. Among them, Qiu Yonghao, Ye Sanmi and four other Eternal Heroes hang together in mid-air, each releasing their own domains to the strongest extent, facing the pir of undead that was falling from the sky. They went up with a determination to die. Samiginas attack at this time had reached more than level nine of rank eight. With such a terrifying force, how could they stop it without the cost of their lives? Ye Sanmi even did not forget to turn around and smile at Caier, as if to say that the battle behind depended on you. No! Caier gave a mournful cry, and she reluctantly raised her Sickle of Death again. However, this time she was dying of pain all over her body, and the severe pain made it impossible for her to exert her previous strength. The only thing that must be done now was to release the Tower of Eternity again and crash into Samigina. However, she was one step behind Qiu Yonghao, Ye Sanmi and the other six people. At this time, Caier suddenly lit up a silver light and when she felt the fluctuation of the silver light, Caier was stupefied for a moment, and then the excitement immediately calmed down and turned into unprecedented confidence. Chapter 830 - The Seven Deaths Seventh Steps (I)

Chapter 830: The Seven Deaths Seventh Steps (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The next moment, a glittering white figure stepped out of the silver light. With only one step, he surpassed the six people in front and came to the fallen Pir of the Undead. A huge golden vertical eye suddenly appeared in mid-air, thousands of golden lights burst into innumerable light, fiercely stimting on the huge Pir of the Undead. The violent explosion and roar lifted the bodies of Qiu Yonghao, Ye Sanmi and other six people back, while the golden vertical eye as high as 100 meters blocked Samiginas desperate gamble by virtue of an eye-catching burst of golden light. The eye of Brahma! In this situation, there were only two people who knew of the eyes of Brahma. And there was only one who could take Caier as his position and appear here in time: the Chairman of the Temple Federation, head of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, owner of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the splendid Knight Temple leader, the Sealed Divine Knight, Long Haochen. Long Haochen let Caiere here alone to challenge Samigina, naturally with countless preparations. Among them, the most important one was the current blow. Between him and Caier, there was a soul chain, and life was shared, therefore when Caier got injured, he would be the first to feel it. He could instantly appear at the side of Caier, which was the power of the domain of blink.. The simple domain of blink could not transmit Long Haochen that far, but Long Haochen could instantly appear andunch this blow by virtue of his strong spiritual strength and the positioning of Caier when she left. It could be said that this blow was his own mirror image, after all, the distance was too far, he could not really transfer his body here through the domain of blink, he could only temporarily break the space. Boom The power of terror erupted in the air, and the pir of the undead was bombarded upside down by the Eye of Brahma. The light of the golden giant eye slowly converged and was reced by the proudly arrival of Long Haochen in the Eternal Armor. At this moment, the momentum of the Southeast Fortress was immediately raised to the extreme, through the publicity of magic videos, Caier and Long Haochen were the absolute idols in their hearts! The two idols appeared one after another and repelled Samigina, the Undead Devil God, which could be imagined as an inspiration to their morale. Moreover, Long Haochens attack was still not over, he raised the golden sword in his left hand, and a little purple and golden light spread in the sword, chopping away toward the swinging Pir of the Undead. All of a sudden, a purple and golden de with a diameter of only more than ten meters flew straight to the Devil Pir in Samiginas hands. The gleaming white Sword of Eternity in his other hand shone with nine colors and pointed in the direction of the Southeast Fortress City. The sky suddenly turned gold. It started raining. The golden rain fell quietly and gently on the head of the Southeast Fortress. Every warrior and wizard was sprinkled on the body by this golden shower. Ayer of light golden glow appeared on their bodies, and the same golden rain, when falling on the Devils n, emitted puffs of smoke, making the Devils give off a mournful scream. It was the light systems forbidden spell: the Sacred Rain. The Sacred Rain emitted by the Sword of Eternity as a magic staff was far more powerful than when Long Haochen used it himself. The golden rain almost covered the head of the Southeast Fortress. The war situation, which was already extremely critical, was reversed almost instantly after the arrival of Long Haochen. Caier had already brought her Tower of Eternity to Long Haochen, and Samigina, the Undead Devil God in the distance, seemed to wake up from his madness. And the reason for this sobriety was the purple and golden sword of Long Haochen. The purple and golden light de urately hit the Pir of the Undead. Previously, even if Caier casted the sixth step, the Path of Death on the Pir of the Undead, it still left no trace, but now it unexpectedly grantly opened a huge crack several meters deep on the pir. The crack was more than ten meters long, and the terrifying purple and golden color burst out from it. Samigina finally came to his senses when he felt the terrifying aura of destruction. He was horrified to pour the rest of his power into the pir of the Devil. Boom In the loud sound, the section where Samiginas pir was hit was actually shattered by his own power to move the pir. At the same time, he fiercely threw his Devil Pir into the direction of the Devils camp, while he himself went straight to the direction of Long Haochen and Caier and pounced on them with open teeth and ws. Even if it was the opposite side, Long Haochen could not help but secretly hold out the thumb to Samigina. As soon as he arrived, he found that Samigina was in an abnormal mood, and it was obvious that the sess of his own n hadpletely driven him into madness. After being attacked by the blood force of Hao Yue, Samigina was able to judge the real situation the moment when he woke up, which could be seen as a powerful Devil God. Samigina obviously found that this was not Long Haochens real body, but a mirror image. That was why he broke his Devil Pir immediately by its handle and threw the main body of the Devil Pir back to the Devils camp, that was, not to let Long Haochen have the opportunity to destroy his own Devil Pirpletely. Obviously, his Devil Pir would not bepletely destroyed after it was broken. Long Haochen secretly felt pity, and the silver light on Caier had reappeared, and the white figure of Long Haochen had be illusory. At this point, Caier was alone in the face of Samiginas attack. Caier hated this guy. Samigina knew well that he would note to a good end after exercising the Devils Disintegration Method, so he wanted to use self-explosion to keep his own Devil Pir. Caier held her Sickle of Death high above her head, and her eyes instantly turned white. Not only that, but even her hair and lips turned exactly as white as the power of purification. Buzz The Sickle of Death gave a violent hum, and then a huge white figure appeared behind Caier. Then, Caier disappeared. The huge figure grasped the Sickle of Death and suddenly looked up at the sky. The sky turned into a vast expanse of white, and everything on the battlefield solidified in an instant. The white figure gradually became substantial. It was a tall, handsome man who looked about thirty years old. His long gray hair hung down, his eyes were white, and he was wearing a white armor. Only on the chest was a diamond-shaped gray gem. Even the Devils army in the distance waspletely stagnant at this moment. This was no longer as simple as intimidation, but an indescribable atmosphere of terror. And this aura, even the Devil Pirs of the Devils n would tremble. The huge figure, holding the Sickle of Death, snorted coldly in the face of Samigina, who was frozen in mid-air, and then the Sickle of Death brought a white electric light in the air. It seemed that in this space, only he could take action. And his chopping was so swift. It was as if Heaven and Earth had been broken apart in this cut. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, had a white trace from the top of his head to his lower body, and arge amount of gray air began to emerge from it, and Samiginas eyes were full of fear. The man in white held the Sickle of Death in his hand, and all the gray air rushed towards the Sickle of Death, which instantly turned into a circle of white glow and froze in the air. The process seemed slow, but when Samiginas bodypletely copsed in the air, and a dead gray crown of Devils appeared in the hands of the man in white, the stillness disappeared, and everything was like fragments of memory. At the same time, it copsed in the hearts of everyone who saw it. What was suspended in the air was Caier. On the other hand, the body of Samigina, the Undead Devil God, was falling out of the air in two halves. Caiers mournful cry in an instant broke through the final barrier and reached thest step of her Seven Deaths, the God of Death! When Caier became the God of Death, she had the power of death. However, even at that time, she had to pay a terrible price to perform the seventh death, the only thing that could really be used was the first six steps, and there was always a gap between her and the seventh step. This gap was due to herck of self-cultivation, but also because of herck of understanding. And at this moment, she finished it, she finally finished it. After the Deathly Hallows and the undead scourge, Electrolux epted Caier as an apprentice, the greatest help to Caier was not to improve her practice level, but it was to help her eliminate all the negative effects and counter-agony attached to the Sickle of Death. That was what Electrolux did by the virtue of his own demigod. The God of Death was the seventh step! This was no longer something borrowed from the power of death, but to let the body of Death God reallye to the world andunch a blow. And if she used it before Electrolux helped Caier to exorcise the counter-attack, the price for her to carry out this blow was her life. This was the power of Revered One of God. If Long Haochen had always been the Revered One of Goddess of Light, then, when his practice reached a certain extent, he could also lead to the cohesion of the Goddess of Light and make here to the world. The God of Death attracted by Caier was not a real body. However, it instantly gathered the aura of death from the whole ne to form one andunched the blow that destroyed heaven and earth. However, it was obvious that Long Haochen did not have this ability because his own constitution was already the constitution of God, and the Goddess of Light was no longer enough to be his belief, so it was naturally impossible to summon her. But there was no doubt that Long Haochens own potential was more terrifying, whether it was the power of the Eternal Armor or his own burning power could reach this order of magnitude. Among the Devil Gods, Samigina, the fourth Devil Gods, ranked fourth among the Devils n 72 Pirs Devil Gods. When Samiginas body fell from the sky, it fell on dust, turned into dust and dissipated in the air, both the enemy and the humans could not help but fall into a dull state.

Chapter 831: The Seven Deaths Seventh Steps (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio As powerful as the Devil God, he was killed in this war, and especially after the deification and the Devils Disintegration Method. This was too much and too shocking for all other Devil Gods. The Vicious Devils who were still frantically attacking were as if they had taken some medicine to enhance their ability, and the effect ended instantly. The four Devil Gods stopped attacking immediately and took the lead in flying back. Their target was the Pir of the Undead. Samigina, the Undead Devil God, was dead, and a new one must be born among the four of them. Such an opportunity was likely to happen only once in a lifetime. Who would care about dealing with human beings in this situation?! As soon as they retreated, the remaining Vicious Devils were bathed in Sacred Rain, there was nothing left they could do. The offensive copsed in an instant, and the strong Vicious Devils n who had less than five thousand lefts retreated quickly and pped their wings in the direction of the Devils army. The strong men of the Southeast Fortress chased out for miles and killed nearly a thousand Vicious Devils before returning to the Southeast Fortress. . Caier did not return to the Southeast Fortress, after she used thest step of Death, she fell directly from the sky, into the Tower of Eternity and disappeared. The Tower of Eternity fell out of thin air in front of the Southeast Fortress, and the 100-meter-high tower shed a faint light of purification, purifying the dead souls on the battlefield, and at the same time introduced these purification forces into the tower for healing and recovery. Withdraw troops and set up a camp. In the distance, the remaining Devil Gods gave orders to all the tribes of the army almost at the same time. They retreated twenty miles and set up a camp there. Apart from being shocked, they also had their own ns in mind. The battle was a failure, and it was a great one. The Devils n suffered the greatest loss, nearly destroyed, and even themander in chief of their army, Samigina, the Undead Devil God, was killed. And the responsibility for this failure naturally belonged to Samigina. Obviously, the Southeast Fortress was a super difficult bone to chew, and they all saw the terrifying legal array with their eyes. Who dared to lead arge army to continue to rush up now? What was more, the Devils army was now tired to death, and their morale was close to mutiny. More than a dozen Devils could only gather up the army and made ns after recuperation. What they could do now was to send the battle report here to the God of Devils as soon as possible and ask the God of Devils to make a decision. At the same time, they all knew very well that this Southeast Fortress might not be able to be defeated. Contrary to the Devils n, the Southeast Fortress was already a sea of joy, and almost all professionals were shouting the names of Long Haochen and Caier. Their heroes saved the Southeast Fortress and killed the Undead Devil God. For the time being, the president and vice-presidents existence in the Southeast Fortress had been elevated to the height of totems. This battle at the Southeast Fortress, although the loss was not small, the strongest forces of the Devils suffered a greater loss, and the morale of the Devils had also been destroyed. It would not be easy for them to have a battle like this again. Qiu Yonghaos excited cheeks flushed and the tigers eyes were tearful. The victory really showed him the hope that mankind could break through the darkness. The Eternal Heroes were delighted. From this big victory, they saw the hope of a new dawn. ... At Yu Longguan. With a dull hum, Long Haochen woke up from meditation, and the Eternal Armor on his body was melted into thirteen streamers. A golden light shed, and Long Ya Ting also transformed from the Sword of Kings into a human being. Long Haochen relied on the Sword of Eternity and the Sword of Kings transformed by Long Ya Ting, the eye of Brahma, which was close to the Imperial Weapon, coupled with the fusion of the domain of Eternity and the domain of the God of Light, which blocked Samiginas final counter-attack. Long Haochen who looked a little pale, closed his eyes again and immediately went into a state of meditation. Ya Ting came and sat down behind him, pressed her palms on his vest and poured her pure light elements into Long Haochens body to assist him in his recovery. Travelling through space, the continuous disy of the eye of Brahma, and the Sacred Rain were a great load on Long Haochen. Although he did not expect Samigina to be so difficult to deal with, he managed to achieve his goal by killing the Undead Devil God. However, it was a pity that there were no colleagues to destroy his Devil Pir. However, as soon as Samigina died, the pir was hit hard again, and it would be impossible for a new generation of necromancers to have Samiginas original power for a hundred years. How did Caier appear in the Southeast Fortress which was so far away from Yu Longguan? This was about the savings of the Temple Union for thousands of years. In this savings there was a space treasure called Location Transfer Scroll. Only one person could be sent to a fixed location at a time. There were only three scrolls of this kind of space transfer, and it was by the virtue of this scroll that Caier arrived at the Southeast Fortress, and defeated the most powerful Undead Devil God. She could have taken more people through her Tower of Eternity but considering the deployment of the Southeast Fortress and the great pressure brought by the God of Devils on Yu Longguans side, Long Haochen finally decided to let Caier go alone. After Caier recovered, she would use the second Location Transfer Scroll to return to Yu Longguan. Moreover, Caier carried much more than these tasks. She also yed a decisive role in this war. To turn the tide and kill the main force of the Vicious Devils legal array of light were the work of the Eternal Heroes. Eternal Heroes slept for thousands of years, and they didnt sleep all the time. After all, they all had a thousand years of life of the undead. Among them, some wizards spent a long time studying some elven magic left by ancient elves. They had really found ways, of which the greatest gain was the existence of a kind of magic trap. The principle of magic trap was very simple: magic was solidified in a certain position, and at the same time, it was equipped with a guiding device, which could be triggered in different ways. It could be triggered immediately when the enemy stepped into the trap, or it could be triggered by a remote control. Rtively speaking, as long as there were enough materials, making magic traps was even more convenient than making magic scrolls. But it involved many of the magical mysteries of ancient elves, which had long been lost in modern times. The Eternal Heroes brought this magic lesson back to earth and used it on the battlefield at the same time. However, there were only three wizards who could set the magic traps. After weighing, Long Haochen decided to let them all set traps on the side of the Southeast Fortress, although the six major professions had been deployed, but the highest strength of each fortress still belonged to this fortress temple. The Warrior Temple was much worse than the Temple of Souls on the battlefield. Plus, the Vicious Devils under Samigina were too powerful. Instead of dispersing the three wizards ability to set traps, it was better to bring their strength together to surprise the necromancers and thuspletely establish the battle situation of the Southeast Fortress. Although there were some twists and turns during this period, Long Haochensbat goal was finally achieved. Under the guarantee of urate information from Yue Ye, it gave an unprecedented blow to the Devils n, and it was also aplete disintegration of the spirit of the Devils army. It was almost impossible for them to break through the Southeast Fortress. In Long Haochens whole n against the Devils n, the Battle of the Southeast Fortress was the top priority, and only by winning this war could theyy the foundation for all the strategies after. If he was not worried that the God of Devils might start attacking at any time, he even thought of going to the Southeast Fortress himself. ... As night fell, the city tower of the Southeast Fortress was still brightly lit up, and the strong festivities even released fireworks in the Southeast Fortress. Under the order of Qiu Yonghao, the officers and soldiers even set up cauldrons at the tower, cooking delicious pieces of meat. Besides being forbidden to drink, the officers and soldiers guarding the city had enough meat and enough food. Yeah! After such an unprecedented victory, how could they not reward the armed forces? As for the Devils n, it was much more miserable. With continuous long-ranged attacks in this war, the Vicious Devil races major forces were almost wiped out. The four Devil Gods were still fighting for the Devil Pir of the Undead. Although the remaining 300,000 troops were quiterge, they were exhausted to the extreme. More importantly, in order to travel at full speed, coupled with Samiginas absolute confidence that he could break into the Southeast Fortress in the shortest possible time, the army carried very limited supplies. Seeing that it had entered the phase of a long-term battle, more than a dozen Devils had to carefully distribute the limited military grain after consultation. While sending people to report to the God of Devils quickly, they also sent people back to the central province to collect supplies. And this process would take at least half a month or a full month. However, they could only carry enough military food for ten days at the most. So, they had to live frugally. Therefore, even if the army of the Devil was tired to death, afterpleting setting up the camp, each Devil only ate the equivalent of a bowl of porridge and a steamed bread, no meat or even broth. Having just experienced such a great war, their morale was extremely low and there was not enough to eat. The indignation of all groups in the army could be imagined. However, the mutiny would not ur, after all, there were more than a dozen Devils suppressed here, coupled with the army of Devils was too tired. Therefore, after eating the meal that was not even half full, most of the Devils immediately fell asleep in the camp. There were even some Devils who didnt even have a tent and just fell asleep in the wilderness. Fortunately, this was the Southeast Fortress, not Yu Longguan, otherwise, the weather alone might lead to the rapid downsizing of the army of Devils. The strategy of the God of Devils was actually correct and effective. The strongest elite strength was concentrated on Yu Longguan, but only a small quantity. With the strength of all eighth level and above, the environment would not have any impact on them at all. Long Haochen certainly attracted the strongest Devils such as the God of Devils, the Moon Devil God, and the Star Devil God over there. However, simrly, the God of Devils also believed that he had generally attracted the ninth-level strong of human beings to Yu Longguan. He was in no hurry tounch an attack, and one of his purposes was to give Long Haochen time to mobilize the ninth-level strong of mankind. The God of Devils was absolutely confident. Chapter 832 - The Seven Deaths Seventh Steps (III)

Chapter 832: The Seven Deaths Seventh Steps (III)

They lost enough strong men, at least without support, how could the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan resist the attack of his two armies? It could even be said that Samigina did not make a mistake. Although he was selfish in terms of military tactics, as long as the attack advanced into the Southeast Fortress, then all the problems would be solved. Whether it was the God of Devils or the Devil Gods, their biggest mistake was to estimate human beings ording to the original strengthpletely. But they ignored the true meaning of human beings. And they also didnt know of the emergence of Eternal Heroes. In a sense, this could not be regarded as anything wrong, after all, who could predict this situation? But because of this, itpletely changed the situation of the war. The absolute advantage of the Devils n began to go downhill gradually. Humans in the Southeast Fortress were celebrating, and the army of Devils was resting while feeling depressed. It was supposed to be a rather quiet night for both sides. But then a restless scene quietly appeared. No one knew when the tower in front of the Southeast Fortress had disappeared. Although the Devils n discovered this point, they didnt pay too much attention to it. Caier must have gone back to the Southeast Fortress to have a rest after healing her wounds. The night was ck, and it might be because there was too much killing today that the light of the stars and the moon was very dim tonight. The clouds wereing, and it was actually raining. However, the Devils n were very tough. Even though it rained, the Devils n sleeping outside had no intention of waking up. They were so tired that even more than the Devil Gods fell into sleep one after another. A great war had just ended, and although they were very depressed, they did not expect the human beings to do anything from the Southeast Fortress. Late at night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and a Wolf Devil sleeping in a rtively low-lying area was awakened by the rain. Ahem. Climbing up, the tall bleary-eyed Wolf Devil looked at the sky and scolded in his heart, thinking that even God was acting against them as it rained in the evening. He looked around, it was obviously impossible to sleep in a tent, but he better found a higher ground, the best to have a shelter to continue his sleep. The continuous fighting made his body sore all over, and there was a deep scar on his thigh. Under the stimtion of the rain water, it caused tingling pain for the Wolf Devil. Suddenly, the air in front of him twisted quietly, and then he felt a slight chill in the position of his throat, as if something warm was gushing out of his neck, and all his strength was emptied in an instant. The Wolf Devil trembled and slowly fell to the ground under the support of a force. In thest moment of his life, he only vaguely saw a ck figure sh away. Caier twinkled lightly in the air, and the excellent concealment of her aura made her like a part of the wind. Where she passed, the Devils who slept outside were deprived of their lives by death in their sleep. Soon, she went close to the heart of the Devils camp. More than a dozen Devil pirs stood there in an orderly manner, but their light was very dim at this time. As for Samigina, the Pir of the Undead was outside the camp, where the four Devil Gods were still fighting to inherit the throne of the undead. In order to protect them from being affected, the rest of the Vicious Devils also concentrated there. After she entered the core of the Devils camp, Caier stopped moving and looked at the sky. Invisible again, she was quietly waiting for something. After a while, Caiers body resurfaced in the air. Its time. She murmured, raising her right hand and pointing in the air, a white light suddenly surged in the wind and bombarded thergest camps. It was the Tower of Eternity. At the moment of the emergence of the Tower of Eternity, more than a dozen Devil Pirs lit up almost at the same time, and it was obvious that they also discovered the existence of Caier. They ran out of the camp at full speed, but were greeted by a huge pagoda. Seal! Caier shouted, and the strong white glow burst out from the Tower of Eternity, and the bright light bloomed in an instant. Unexpectedly, it covered all the several camps. Then, the volume of the Tower of Eternity also skyrocketed to a hundred meters high. It then fell instantly, and unexpectedly shrouded all Devils over 10 that had just rushed out, before it fell to the ground. The camp where the Devils lived was surrounded by the Devil Pirs, and when the Tower of Eternity wasunched, it drilled through the gap between the Devil Pirs. Thus it was discovered by the Devil Gods immediately, but these Devil Gods never thought that the Tower of Eternity would not attack them, but instead encircled them directly inside of it. This was another wonderful use of the Tower of Eternity. It was called the Repression. Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a loud roar inside the pagoda, and it was obvious that more than a dozen Devil Gods were frantically attacking, trying to rush out of the Tower of Eternity. But this was a Divine Weapon, its firmness couldnt be imagined, coupled with the power of purification which also had a certain restraining effect on the dark attribute of the Devils n. The Devils were cut off the connection between themselves and their own Devil Pir. It would take a long time to get out of it. Caier floated up andnded on top of the Tower of Eternity. Holding the Sickle of Death in her right hand, she drew white lights in the air. At the same time, she sat with her knees crossed on top of the tower, infusing her powerful domain of purification into the Tower of Eternity. The white light in the sky was the signal, referring to a quarter of an hour. The Tower of Eternity suppressed these Devil Gods, which couldst a quarter of an hour. While the purification light of the Tower of Eternity shone, at the same time, in the different directions of the Devils Camp, the lights and shadows were lit up one by one. The Warrior Temple had a total of 21 strong men of the ninth level, plus all 12 Eternal Heroes, appearing in different directions of the Devils Camp. As soon as they appeared, they tore open the scrolls in their hands and threw them into the Devils camp below. The iparably calm Devils Camp had be a splendid ce for bombardment in the next moment. A mass of powerful magic light rose in the ravage of crazy magic elements, engulfing the lives of the Devils n. It all happened so suddenly that the Devils were not prepared at all. Those magic scrolls that were quickly torn apart were at least level seven or more. It was allrge-scale magic. For a time, the Devils camp was instantly in chaos, the terrifying lethality of magic and dazzling glow crazily rose and eventually burst. The Devils n was so tired that even after such an attack, many Devils were unwilling to wake up from their sleep. Some woke up after they were covered by magic and when they felt intense pain. This strategy was decided by Long Haochen on the other side of Yu Longguan after consultation with federal congressmen, and now the scrolls used by the strong men were naturally umted by the alliance for thousands of years. As the saying went, good steel was used on the de. Even when guarding the Southeast Fortress, Qiu Yonghao was not willing to order it to be used. Finally, the greatest power broke out at the time of the camp robbery. Long Haochens n could be said to be interlinked. Who would have thought that the Southeast Fortress would still have the strength tounch a counterattack after such a bitter battle? In particr, the Eternal Heroes, each of whom was strong in the domain, immediately carried out the killing spree after tearing open the scroll, not to mention thebat effectiveness of the ninth-level strong men. In the absence of the same-level opponents to resist the attack, the lower-level enemy was suffering a unteral ughter! In particr, after the three ninth-level wizards ran out of scrolls, each alsopleted a forbidden spell. For a time, the Devils barracks turned to a sea of blood. And the most crucial point in this war was Caier. She forcibly sealed off more than ten Devil Gods. Otherwise, if they could react when they found out immediately, with the help of the power of the Devil pir, they would certainly minimize the loss of the Devils n, and even with their overbearing strength, it was not easy for the strong men in the Southeast Fortress to escape unscathed. Another advantage was that the Vicious Devils were not in the camp. Although the main force of the Devils n had been wiped out, the remaining thousands of Vicious Devils were strong Devils of the sixth or seventh level, plus the four great Devil Gods. If they were in the camp, at least they could effectively withstand the humans sneaky attack. But now they were busy fighting for the right to inherit the Undead Devil Gods position. The contradictions within the Devils n magnified the power of the sneak attack of the strong men in the Southeast Fortress to the biggest extent. Of course, the Vicious Devils were not unaware of the changes here, but each of the four Devil Gods had their owners. At this time, which one of them was willing to give up the right to inherit the Undead Devil Gods position? Naturally, they just ignored it and continued with their struggles. The magic wave of the Tower of Eternity was bing stronger and stronger. Caier had not fully recovered in the first ce, and she had be more and more unable to support it. But she knew very well that if she insisted on it for longer, the blow to the Devils n would be even greater. Caier was more adept at using the domain of purification, and on the battlefield, she did not need to worry about theck of resources for power of purification at all. With the death of arge number of Devils, there would naturally appear a huge aura of death, which was gradually transformed into a part of the power of purification in the domain of purification. With these, Caier would be able to stabilize the seal of the Tower of Eternity, or otherwise she might not be able to hold on for another minute. After all, it was the joint attack of more than a dozen Devil Gods! More than thirty ninth-level strong men did not hesitate to attack. They killed the Devils crazily. Among them, several strong men directly destroyed the granary of the Devils n, making the already poor logistical supplies even worse. Chapter 833 - Good News From Wan Shouguan (I)

Chapter 833: Good News From Wan Shouguan (I)

The white light from the Tower of Eternity began to be more and more intense and unstable, with a faint flicker of electric light. Caier knew that this Divine Weapon had reached its limit, and if it went on, even if she could hold on, the Tower of Eternity would probably be destroyed. This Divine Weapon was the only memorial left to her by the Deathly Hallows and the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. She held her Sickle of Death high up and a circle of white glow spread. At the same time, the spirit wings behind Caier pped, flying like lightning into the distance. After holding on for a few seconds, the Tower of Eternity turned into a streamer chasing Caier. When Caier gave off a white glow, a group of strong human beings also stopped one after another, quickly ran away, and returned to the Southeast Fortress. More than ten figures rushed out at the same time, but the appearance of these ten Devil Gods at this time was really embarrassing. Their faces were all so dirty. The Tower of Eternity contained a huge force of purification and anti-shock ability. While they were attacking with all their strength, the over-dense elements in the Tower of Eternity also had a great impact on them. After struggling for a long time, they were all bewildered after getting out of the Tower. And at this time, a white lotus flower fell off. When the Devils finally recovered from the blow, and took control of their own Devil Pirs again and released a powerful force to control the situation one by one. They had the feeling that they wanted to cry but there was no tear. It was very bad In the entire Devils camp, there were only a handful of tents that remained intact. There were corpses everywhere. Strong magic elements of the storm were constantly raging. The granary turned into a piece of scorched earth. There were more than 300,000 Devils! It was like a te of loose sand at this time. The stronghold stretching for dozens of miles was destroyed and became out of shape. The loss was too great to count. After a simple discussion, Devil Gods reached a consensus, and they stepped in at the same time to resolve the dispute among the Devils, appointing the chief Devil God as the sessor to Samigina. They took the Devil Pir of undead and retreated quickly. They had to retreat. After the blow tonight, thebat effectiveness of their originally aggressive 500,000 Devils was even less than one third of that when they first arrived, and the key was that there was no morale left at all. Unexpectedly, there were more than 30 ninth-level strong people in the Southeast Fortress, among which there were more than a dozen with strong domain. The number of their enemys strong men was more than their own side. How could their fight go on? Especially the terrifying Caier. What if she gave them another sneak attack? What would they do then? There was only one way to avoid the seal of the Tower of Eternity, and that was to separate the Devil Gods. However, there might be problems after the separation, what if they were defeated one by one? Who would want to take the risk? In the end, the result of the discussion of Devil Gods was to withdraw from Narik Province and wait for the order of the God of Devils. While readjusting the army, they thought of ways to replenish food. Hundreds of thousands of troops, the amount of food consumed in a day was also astronomical! Later, ording to the statistics of the Southeast Fortress on this war, the total strength of the 500,000 troops of the Devils was less than 270,000 when they retreated. Countless Devils were injured. It could be said that it gotpletely defeated by the Southeast Fortress. The only regret was that only two Devil Gods were killed in the war. However, the danger of the Southeast Fortress had beenpletely resolved. Even if this Devil army made aeback, the six professions ratios of the Southeast Fortress would be difficult for them to break through. The morale of the soldiers in the Southeast Fortress was unprecedented. With sufficient supplies, they soon regained their peakbat strength and could protect this pass. But Caier did not take a rest. After the sneak attack, she and the twelve Eternal Heroes took advantage of the night to leave quietly and flew straight to Wan Shouguan in the southwest. The war at Wan Shouguan had also begun. And over there, there were no magic traps. Three days had passed in the blink of an eye. The Devils barracks outside of Yu Longguan still remained quiet. Is there any news from Samigina and Marbus? The God of Devils summoned Agarez, the Moon Devil God, and Vasak, the Star Devil God, to his tent. Agarez said respectfully, ording to the news from thest time, as soon as Samigina arrived at the Southeast Fortress, he did not let the soldiers rest and immediatelyunched the offense. ording to the reports of the Devils over there, the battle has begun for a day, but the Vicious Devils have not yet entered the battle. At present, there is a stalemate with the Southeast Fortress. The number of strong men in the Southeast Fortress exceeded our expectations, and an Archer with Divine-weapon-level bow attacked and killed Garbo. Garbo died in the war. What? The God of Devils was surprised and said, Is Garbo dead? Yes. Moreover, ording to the news from the front, Garbo was shot dead before he could y an auxiliary role on the battlefield. Agarezs words did not exert any emotion, but anyone could hear his dissatisfaction with Garbo and Samigina. What else? The God of Devils suppresses his anger. Despite the fact that Arcane Devil God Garbosbat effectiveness was not good, he was the first in Devils n in terms of group assistance. His role on the battlefield was so great that it was not much different from that of Samigina. The army that attacked the Southeast Fortress was deliberately allocated by the God of Devils. But he didnt expect that he would get injured and die in this battle. Agarez respectfully said, The news has not yete, there should be urate news tonight. There is no news from Marbus and Warlifer at Wan Shouguan. But they have already started. It can be inferred that the Southeast Fortress battle should end now and if Marbus and Warlifer are fast enough, they should finish the battle now as well. Vashak said coldly, Your Majesty, Samigina seems to have gone too far. Its not good for unity. If he seeds in invading human territory this time, Im afraid that the Vicious Devils He then stopped and did not continue, and since thest practice of prophecy of life, Vashaks personality had be much more silent, cold, and reticent. The God of Devils Feng Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Agarez. Speed up the transmission of the message. Yes. The God of Devils slowly got up and said, Three days havee. It seems that it is time for us to meet Long Haochen again. I believe that he should also get the news from the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. The Moon Devil God Agarez said Your Majesty, should we wait for news from the front first? Six hours at the most, the news shoulde. After meditating for a moment, the God of Devils said, All right. Lets wait for the good news from Samigina and Marbus. He didnt seem to hear the objection raised by the Star Devil God before. Vashak didnt talk about it either. The situation on the front line was very important to this side. If the two armies were to enter the Temple Union, then the God of Devils would hold an absolute dominant position. If they fail to break in, then the tactics of the God of Devils against Yu Longguan would be changed ordingly. Chapter 834 - Good News From Wan Shouguan (II)

Chapter 834: Good News From Wan Shouguan (II)

At Yu Longguan. Everything is ready now, Chairman, Yang Haohan, the master of the Knight Temple, said to Long Haochen, who was standing on the top of Yu Longguan. Long Haochen nodded and said, Good. Long Tian Yin, who walked to the top of the city tower with Yang Haohan, said with a confused look, There is no movement from the God of Devils. Hasnt he got the news yet? The news has alreadye to our side. Long Haochen smiled. This is not surprising, we owe the credit of Yue Yes organization. Grandpa, the urate battle report of Wan Shouguan has been sent back? Long Tianyins face suddenly showed a strong feeling of excitement. Its already been passed back. Marbus and Warlifers tactics against Wan Shouguan are almost exactly the same as those of Samigina. First, they use other races as cannon fodder to attack the city, and then use the Hell Devils n which belongs to them and cooperate with the general attack of the Bear Devils n. The 500,000 soldiers on their side are weaker than Samigina because there are Bear Devils and Hell Devils, plus themanders were the two Devil Gods. They were unlucky to meet that old fox, Chen Hongyu. That old fox, Chen Hongyu, is too good at pretending. When Marbus and Warlifer firstunched an offensive, hepletely resisted it with the original strength of the Temple of Souls. There are many strong people in the Temple of Souls, coupled with meticulous preparation with urate intelligence, they were not at a disadvantage at all. They have persisted in blocking three waves of attacks without showing signs of defeat. Marbus and Warlifer then began to send Devil Gods to fight. They are more ruthless than Samigina, sending as many as six Devil Gods at a time. At this time, the pressure on Wan Shouguan immediately increased. It immediately fell into an uphill battle. Chen Hongyu began to send troops from the other five temples to support Wan Shouguan to the battlefield, each time in proper number and each arm yed the greatest role, coupled with the fact that the strength of the Temple of Souls was much greater than those of the warriors, so he persisted for a day and a night. Marbus and Warlifer are in a bit of a hurry, and they both know that Samigina is attacking crazily, and his battle seemed to being to an end. So, they finallymanded the strongest mixture of Bear Devils and Hell Devils and went straight to the fortress. At this point, Long Tianyin could not help eximing, Haochen, that girl named Yue Ye you mentioned is really amazing! I dont know how their organization did it. Marbus and Warlifer simply did not get the news that Samigina had been killed in the war, thinking that Samigina had been in a stalemate and was about to break through. How can they not be in a hurry? Everyone thinks that our federation is a piece of cake and wants to take the first bite. This impatience naturally led to the problem of rash advance. And the sessful blocking at Wan Shouguan before also brought enough time to themselves. Caier and the twelve Eternal Heroes finally arrived at Wan Shouguan to join the strong ones in the Temple of Souls. And the Eternal Heroes who were supposed to support the Temple of Souls have been holding back. At the same time, on the other side of the Priest Temple in Nanguan, when it was determined that the Devils had not divided their troops to attack. Although it was toote to send troops, they asked the nine Eternal Heroes on their side to go to Wan Shouguan to help. There were thirty Eternal Heroes in total. Thats 30 people who were strong in their domain. As soon as they appeared on the battlefield, they instantly had the effect of turning the tide. The old fox Chen Haoyu was indeed very patient! In previous idents, he simply did not let any Eternal Hero take their shot, and it was not until the most critical moment that he broke out and caught Marbus and Warlifer by surprise. As a result, the two sidesunched a full-scale war. Whats even more insidious of him is that Chen Hongyu pulled out a horrifying magic scroll out of nowhere. This scroll was left by the ancestors of the Temple of Souls and it opened a terrifying summoning magic called the Gate of Hell. From that Gate of Hell, a total of 3,000 eighth-level hellhounds were drilled, and they continued to fight for an hour before they disappeared. Three thousand eighth-level hellhounds? Long Haochen drew a deep breath, and Yang Haohan also looked appalled. Even the God of Devils only brought a little more than a thousand eighth-level strong Devils to Yu Longguan! Three thousand eighth-level hellhounds. What was that? Its destructive power was probably not much worse than the 30 light forbidden spells of the magic trap, and they were even more flexible. Long Tianyin said with a surprised look, Thats right. That old guy Chen Hongyu is so cunning that if he gives us the scroll, Im afraid the God of Devils will suffer as well. Yang Haohan smiled and said, I cant me him. After all, the Union has just been established, and protecting his temple is the most important thing for him. Im afraid if it was us, we also wouldnt hand it over. With these 3,000 hellhounds, Im afraid Marbus and Warlifer are in big trouble. Long Tianyin nodded and said, The destructive power of those three thousand eighth-level hellhounds was so terrifying that even the defensive power of Bear Devils cannot stop them. Bear Devils and Hell Devils allied forces were directly attacked badly, and then there was a full-scale war between the two sides. In order to keep their main force, the Hell Devil God Marbus and the Bear Devil God Warlifer mobilized all their armies to attack the city, and all the Devil Gods who followed them also attacked. In this battle, it took a day and a night to tell the difference between the winner and the loser. At this point, his eyes dimmed a little. Nine of the thirty Eternal Heroes were killed in this war, and one of the wizards used the power of self-destruction to severely injure the Hell Devil God Marbus. Although the Bear Devil God Warlifer retreated unscathed, their army suffered heavy losses. The Devils n lost five Devil Gods in this war. Wan Shouguan remains standing, and the army of Devils has been reduced by at least nearly 400,000. When they were retreating, almost all of the rest were weak ones and at least more than half of these 400,000 were killed thanks to the super forbidden spell, the Gate of Hell. The destructive power of 3,000 hellhounds is really terrifying! Although not being there himself, by listening to the story of Long Tianyin, Long Haochen could feel the cruelty of this war. Whether it was the Southeast Fortress or Wan Shouguan, these two important battles could be described as a meat grinder. In just a few days, both sides lost more than 500,000 lives. However, although Marbus and Warlifer had retreated, they were still alive. But the loss on their side was not inferior to that of Samigina. Five Devil Gods had fallen, and even if they were still alive, they would no longer be able to fight. More importantly, more than 80% of the army of 500,000 elite Devils were lost, which was even greater than the loss of Samigina. There was no more power left to destroy the city. Chapter 835 - God Of Devils Wrath (I)

Chapter 835: God Of Devils Wrath (I)

The two major battles unexpectedly ended in just three days. The calction of the God of Devils in the world was indeed very urate. Unfortunately, he only guessed the time right, not the result. Long Haochen clenched his fist and said, Its up to us now. If we can defeat the elite army of the God of Devils. Then the situation between us and the Devils n will be reversed. His words were absolutely right. The million elite Devils had been defeated, together with seven Devil Gods casualties. It could be said that they almost destroyed the foundation of the Devils n. In particr, the Undead Devils n, Hell Devils n and Bear Devils n were hit hard. The blow to the Devils n was hard to predict. If they could do any more damage to the Anti-Heavenly Dragons, Moon Devils, and Star Devils, then it could be said that the dawn of light would finallye. Yang Haohan said quietly, Haochen, there is one thing I must remind you. Until wepletely defeat the God of Devils, we cannot say victory ising. Among the Devils, as long as the God of Devils is not defeated, then we still cannotpletely break through the shackles of this dark age. Are you still confident about this war? Long Haochen shook his head, but his face gradually showed a special brilliance. Long time ago, the son of reincarnation gave a heavy blow to the God of Devils of that generation at the cost of his life. It eventually led to the early death of that generations God of Devils. I am not any weaker than the son of reincarnation, and I have more advantages that the son of reincarnation does not have. I am not sure if I can defeat the God of Devils, and my practice level is far away from him, my opponent. However, if he reallyes to that point and he wants me to die, I will certainly take him and his Devil pirs to be buried together at all costs. As long as his Devil pir is broken. The Devils n will perish. He said this firmly, and even the two seniors, Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan, were shocked by the determination in his eyes. Haochen, you Long Tianyin only felt something stuck in his throat, and he could not speak. From a general point of view, of course, he should fully support Long Haochen, but Long Haochen was his only grandson! He was also the only heir of the Long family. Long Xingyu and Bai Yue had no one else except him. If Long Haochen were to die in battle, the Long family would probably lose its roots. However, now Long Haochen, as the chairman of the Temple Federation, the leader of the Knight Temple and the Sealed Divine Knight, the splendid god, was duty-bound to defeat the God of Devils. No one could rece him, and the most critical battle could only rely on his strength. Yang Haohans eyes twinkled. Well, Chairman, with your words, Im willing to die for this war. If Im going to die, Im going to die before you do. I dont believe that we cant defeat the God of Devils when we gather together in the Knight Temple. Long Tianyin also recovered from his sadness. Yes, Yang is right. At that time, we will fight together. If we are doomed to die, then let our Long family bepletely rooted out and die together on the battlefield. Long Haochen took a deep breath and said, Grandpa, Grandpa Yang, lets go. I believe that the news from Yue Ye cannot be hidden for too long. If the God of Devils doese, it must be a decisive battle, and it is also a battle that determines whether we can break through the dark barrier or not. Yu Longguan was built in the mountains. Three days ago, when themander-in-chief of the God of Devils came here, there was an aura of killing outside Yu Longguan. At this time, the aura of killing had be more and more intense. Woo The war horn sounded in Yu Longguan, and many figures began toe out from the inside of the mountain and stood on top of Yu Longguan. There was no ordinary warrior or wizard that could appear on top of Yu Longguan. They should be at least the seventh-level strong men. Li Zhengzhi, the master of the Magic Temple, brought his strongest wind wizard, as well as all nine Eternal Heroes guarding the Magic Temple. At the moment of the war between the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan, he set out with the wizard regiment and the Eternal Heroes. In addition to Li Zhengzhi, the highest level of the Assassin Temple nearest to the Knight Temple also came. Commanded by Sheng Yue himself, along with 36 hidden assassins, eleven chivalrous men and six Eternal Heroes also came to Yu Longguan. And the most powerful, of course, was the power of the Knight Temple itself. Led by Long Haochen, the six Sealed Divine Knights lined up and stood in the middle of Yu Longguan. The owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the splendor of the Knight Temple and the leader of the Sealed Divine Knights, Long Haochen. The owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness, the Sealed Divine Knight of Destruction and Forgiveness of the Knight Temple, Han Yu. The owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Doom and ughter, the Sealed Divine Knight of Judgement of the Knight Temple, Long Xingyu. The owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Guarding and Mercy, and Sealed Divine Knight of Defense and Coordination of the Knight Temple, Yang Haohan. The owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Wisdom and Spirit, and the Sealed Divine Knight of Enlightenment and Inheritance of the Knight Temple, Zhang Fangfang. The owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Law and Order, and the Sealed Divine Knight of Control and Restraint of the Knight Temple, Long Tianyin. The six Sealed Divine Knights were all dressed up in gowns at this time, but everyone knew that as long as the war begins, their Sealed Divine Thrones would appear on the battlefield immediately. Behind the six Sealed Divine Knights, there were 36 Fine Gold pedestal knights and 108 Secret Silver pedestal knightsmanded by the Holy Knight of Starry Sky Yang Haoyu. They were the core and most powerful force of the Knight Temple. After Long Haochen became the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leader, and the chairman of the Temple Federation, Yang Haoyu took over the position of the Pdin. It could be said that this was the strongest lineup in the 6,000 years since the birth of the Knight Temple. The strong men of the three temples gathered together, as well as the Soldiers Temple, the Priest Temple, and the Temple of Souls, which added up to about one hundred strong men of more than level seven. Compared with the total number of Devils, although they were still in a weak position, they were also close to a thousand or so. At least in terms of the number of strong people in the domain, the human side was not any weaker, but in terms of overall strength, the human side was still inferior to the Devils n. The God of Devils had brought almost all the three strongest races of the Devils n, with two hundred people of level nine and more than a thousand of level eight. The Anti-Heavenly Dragons, the Moon Devil and the Star Devil. This would be an unprecedented decisive battle for mankind against the Devils. Whoever won would be able to dominate the future situation on thend. Long Haochen stood in the most central position with a solemn face. The people of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group stood beside the six Sealed Divine Knights. Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger were both masters of the six temples and vice chairman of the Federation, and the others were also federal congressmen. They had enough status to stand here. Long Haochen looked at the Devils camp in the distance, and the Devils n side was still quiet. In this war, it was meaningless for professionals below the seventh-level to join. It could only be a death sentence for them. Therefore, after the arrival of the God of Devils, after the consultation of the Federal Parliament, the strategy of elite to elite was decided. They were trying to avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible. If they all died on this battlefield, it was not toote to carry out the huge-crowd strategy. Lin Xin, how are Caier and the others doing? Long Haochen asked Lin Xin, who was not far away. In front of so many people, Lin Xin said respectfully, Chairman, Vice-Chairman Caier and the others are regaining their strength. Please rest assured that with the help of my medicine, Vice Chairman Caier will soon recover to her peak. It was Caier who brought back the news about Wan Shouguan, but as soon as she came back, she immediately took the medicine provided by Lin Xin to heal herself. Caier was seriously injured and badly overdrawn. She yed a vital role in the two wars of the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. Especially, she killed Samigina with her own hands. Not only did Caier return, but she also brought back all the Hternal Heroes of the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan inside her Tower of Eternity, and twelve Eternal Heroes returned in addition to the nine who were killed in battle. In addition, over the past two days, Caier, who resurrected the Twelve Sacred Saints by purifying the aura of death on the battlefield, has added more than 20 ninth-level strong people to Yu Longguan. It could be said that in order to fight against the God of Devils, except for the necessary manpower to guard several fortresses, all the main forces of the Temple Federation had been concentrated here. This was also the situation that Long Haochen most wanted to see, and whether to defeat the God of Devils was the key to the final decision. Everything is ready, Chairman, Yang Haoyu, the Holy Knight of Starry Sky, came to Long Haochen and whispered. Long Haochen nodded. He shed and flew into the air ten meters away from the head of the city, turned around and faced all the strong men on Yu Longguan. Elders and predecessors of the six temples, the Eternal Heroes, our ancestors. The moment to determine whether we can break through the darkness or not ising. For our future generations to reproduce better, so that mankind can once again be the ruler of the holynd. In this war, perhaps many of us will not be able to see the sun of tomorrow. However, I, Long Haochen, the first chairman of the Temple Federation, have no regrets about my death, and I am even more proud to be able to fight the Devils n together with all of you. Almost every one of us has a deep grudge against the Devils n. Not long ago, the God of Devils killed more than a dozen legendary heroes of our two titled hunter groups. This time, the God of Devils wants topletely defeat us, so that we human beings are further enved by them. But he will never seed. Maybe some seniors dont know yet. On the other side of the battlefield, the Devils dispatched a total of millions of troops, led by Samigina, the Undead Devil God and Marbus, the Hell Devil God, and attacked the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan at the same time. In total, the two armies mobilized as many as 34 Devil Gods. Launched an unprecedented full-scale Holy War. However, I would like to tell you some good news. In this Holy War, because of our full preparation and proper tactics, both the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan have won a decisive victory. Chapter 836 - God Of Devils’ Wrath (II)

Chapter 836: God Of Devils Wrath (II)

As soon as Long Haochen said this, the officers and soldiers on the head of the Yu Longguan were briefly dull at first, then cheered loudly. Before today, most of them did not know about the situation in the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. Long Haochen blocked the news immediately. If the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan went to war, and they were defeated, he must not let the news get out and affect others morale. But it was different now. What could be more morale-boosting than the news of a big victory? Its a little unbelievable, isnt it? Here, I would like to pay the highest tribute to our ancestors, the Eternal Heroes. It was because of their help that we were able to win these two decisive victories. In the Southeast Fortress, the Devils n waspletely wiped out by the magic trapid by the Eternal Heroes. Vice-president Caier personally killed Samigina, the Undead Devil God, outside the Southeast Fortress. The Arcane Devil God Garbo was shot down by the bow of elder Ye Sanmi, our Eternal Hero. At the end of the war, out of the army of 500,000 Devils, only 200,000 of them escaped, which can no longer threaten the safety of our Southeast Fortress. And for Wan Shouguan, under themander-in-chief of Lord Chen, more than 20 Eternal Heroes joined the battle. Lord Chen used the super forbidden spell and opened the Gate of Hell, he summoned three thousand eighth-level hellhounds, and broke the strongestbination of Hell Devils and Bear Devils. In the battle thatsted two days and two nights, nine Eternal Heroes died in the battle, but they also destroyed five Devil Gods. Marbus and Warlifer were seriously injured and retreated. When they retreated, there were only 100,000 from 500,000 troops left. This is an unprecedented victory! It also heralds the end of the dark age. Now, right across from us, the God of Devils, the Moon Devil God, and the Star Devil Godmand more than a thousand elite Devils here. Ourrades-in-arms have won two important victories. Can weg behind in theing decisive battle? No, absolutely not. Even at all costs, we must light up the light in the dark and let the dawn of light return to thend. Long Haochens voice was loud and powerful, and more importantly, he ignited the morale of all the strong men on the city with the victory of the two great fortresses. It had also been proved by facts that the Devils were not invincible. Just as Long Haochen was talking, the sky suddenly darkened in the distance. The dark golden light of terror rose into the sky, covering all the tents of the Devils fifty miles away. Ooh The low sound of the dragon, like thunder, sounded in the distant sky, and a huge ck dragon with a length of one kilometer appeared silently in mid-air. One kilometer! That was one kilometer long! Even if it was fifty miles apart, it still looked so scary. And this huge ck dragon was circling around the huge pir of dark golden light rising from the sky, which was ten miles in diameter, as if it really was the pir of the sky. Even if the kilometer-long ck dragon circled around it, it would take more than ten seconds. Yes, this was the invincible existence of the Holy Demon Land, the master of the Devils n, the horrifying Emperor of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons, Feng Xiu! The morale that Long Haochen had just inspired waspletely suppressed almost instantly, and the God of Devils released a more terrifying pressure than when he first arrived here three days ago. And this pressure was enough to suffocate anyone. A purple and an orange yellow, two rays of light suddenly rose from both sides of the dark and golden pir of light, and they soon rushed into the sky and turned into a purple moon and an orange star. It shone on the dark golden pir, making it more powerful. Long Haochen, have you thought this through? The insipid voice of Feng Xiu came from afar, and the terrifying pressure also skyrocketed in an instant. Almost all the strong men at the head of Yu Longguan had to immediately urge their spiritual powers to barely resist the suppression of this pressure. Long Haochen snorted before he turned around, the six golden wings behind him spread out, and in a sh, he was already high up in the air. At the same time, five figures flew out from Yu Longguan, and they surrounded Long Haochen in the center, and the six figures bloomed with different brilliance in mid-air. Six huge Sealed Divine Thrones appeared at almost the same time, and the central Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation sparkled with nine colors. When the glittering white pir of light rose into the sky, it instantly lit up the mountain where Yu Longguan was located and expelled all the dark gold from the spread of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the sky. The other five Sealed Divine Thrones also emitted their own light, with the urging of Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang, Long Xingyu, Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan, guarding the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation in the center. Yes, the God of Devils was strong, and he was guarded by the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God, but there were also six Sealed Divine Knights on the human side. When all the six Sealed Divine Thrones bloomed with magnificent brilliance, all the strong men in the city of Yu Longguan felt the pressure lighter. Li Zhengzhi, the master of the Magic Temple, looked at the scene in the air withplicated feelings. He knew that in his life, it would be impossible topete with the Knight Temple. Even if in todays battle, all the six Sealed Divine Knights were all killed, and the prestige of the Knight Temple would still be far ahead of the other five temples. Well, what aplete set of six magical thrones and knights. It seems that you have given me the answer. Feng Xius voice was still calm. A dark and golden light shed instantly, and the God of Devils Feng Xiu unexpectedly came to a kilometer close to the six Sealed Divine Knights in front of Long Haochen. Looking at the handsome face of the God of Devils, Long Haochen only felt that his blood inside his body was rushing vigorously, and that the time for a decisive battle was finallying. I finally have to face the Devil Emperor. In no case can we lose this battle. Dont you know that if you dont surrender, theres only death? Feng Xiu said faintly as if in his eyes, Long Haochen was the only one opponent, while the other five Sealed Divine Knights around Long Haochen and more than a thousand strong men in the city did not exist at all. How overbearing and confident this was? Long Haochen said in a cold voice, I am a human, you are a Devil, between us, there is no other possibility. Today, either you die, or I die. Feng Xiu shook his head gently and said, You are still young and naive. Do you think you canpete with me with such arrangements? Why can our family rule the maind for 6,000 years? Its solely by the virtue of absolute strength. Long Haochen suddenly smiled. Oh? Is that true? Absolute strength? In the past three days, what you have been waiting for should be the answer from the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. I dont know, have you got the answer? Hmm? Feng Xius eyes changed slightly, and the reason why he appeared at this time was that he felt some odd aura above Yu Longguan. That was why he suddenly showed up in the air ahead of time. Although the news from the other side had not arrived yet, he still had absolute confidence in Samigina and Marbus. It seems that you already know about the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. How do you feel? Feng Xius slender eyebrows picked up slightly. Long Haochen nodded seriously and said, Of course I know. Oh? It seems that Your Majesty doesnt know! The God of Devils felt a jolt in his heart and had a premonition of something. He subconsciously nced back at the orange star next to the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. Vashak, the Star Devil God, did not give him any prophecy. Whats the result? Feng Xiu asked quietly. Long Haochen smiled and said, Of course, good has triumphed over evil. Im afraid there are only 1/3 of your million troops left. Hmm? The God of Devils was stunned for a moment, but soon regained hisposure. Do you think you can use false threats against me? Long Haochen said, It seems that Your Majestys source is not as fast as mine. It seems that you can only feel the broken pir of the Devil God, but you cant feel the fall of the Devil God. Why dont you go back and inquire first? we are in no hurry. At this time, he spoke about the war on the other side, and spread his voice afar, in order to make a blow to the morale of the Devils n and the confidence of the God of Devils at the same time. The most terrifying opponent was the calmest opponent. Once the God of Devils lost his coolness and his mood swung violently, Long Haochens chances would be greater. Feng Xiu frowned. Although he did not believe that Long Haochens words were true, Long Haochen said it in front of all the strong human beings. If it was only a lie, would he still have the reputation of the President of the Temple Federation? What was more, what was the use of lies? The foreboding suddenly became stronger and stronger. With a cold hum, the dark golden figure of Feng Xiu suddenly turned into nothingness. Long Haochen looked at the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the distance and thought to himself that the building that copsed was always destroyed from the inside. Without the news from Yue Yes Organization, they would never have faced the God of Devils so calmly, and the God of Devils would not have received urate information sote. Agarez, Vashak, I dont care what you do, in half an hour, I want to know what happened on both sides of Samigina and Marbus. If you cant give me an answer in half an hour, then, Vashak, you are ready to prophesy with your life for the second time. The God of Devils was obviously angry. The starlight and the moonlight in the sky both faded away at the same time, but the light of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir showed no sign of disappearing. At the same time, columns of light soared around it, which was the power of other Devil Gods. Butpared with the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the center, they were like bamboo around an elephant. The six Sealed Divine Knights were still suspended in mid-air, relying on the aura of the Sealed Divine Thrones to resist the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the sky. The atmosphere became more and more tense, but at this time, Long Haochens heart was very quiet. He silently felt the aura of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, and the various emotions in his heart disappeared one after another and he gradually entered a kind of ethereal realm. Chapter 837 - God Of Devils Wrath (III)

Chapter 837: God Of Devils Wrath (III)

The more pressure he faced, the stronger his ability would be. The powerful talent of the God of Lights constitution also broke out further under the great pressure of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the sky. Even Long Haochen himself did not know how far his practice could be with the help of Ye Xiaoleis wisdom furnace. If he were to be added to the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, perhaps it should be close to the top level of the ninth tier. However, the gap between and the God of Devils and himself was still huge. Breaking through millions of psychic powers, the demigod God of Devils and the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, which was absolutely an Imperial Weapon, no one could predict how horrifying it would be. It was because now all living human beings, including the Eternal Heroes, had never seen what the God of Devils Feng Xiu looked like when he went all out to fight. But what if we add Hao Yue? Thinking of Hao Yue, Long Haochens empty heart suddenly felt a trace of ripples, a trace of fiery ripples. He hadnt fought with Hao Yue for a long time. Since the evolution of Hao Yue, Long Haochen had returned, and Hao Yue seemed to have entered a special state of practice. At the beginning, Long Haochen thought he was in a stable realm, but he soon found out that it was not, because Hao Yue had reached the bottleneck long before this breakthrough, and the realm was also very stable. So, what was the reason for its deep sleep? It seemed to have something to do with the seedlings of the Tree of Destruction that he acquired in the test of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. It was also destruction, was it true that the power of the Tree of Destruction had not been fully absorbed by Hao Yue? If it was fully absorbed, how much would the strength of Hao Yue reach by now? Hao Yue was the biggest card of Long Haochen, even the God of Devils feared it, when Hao Yue and Long Haochen joined hands, Long Haochen believed that he must have the strength to fight hard with the God of Devils. Time went by, and in less than half an hour, in the distance, the light of the stars and the moon next to the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir rose at the same time. On the other hand, the aura of terror of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir surged violently. Good. Very good. A full quarter of an hour passed, when the voice of Feng Xiu sounded again, everyone had lost the previous insipid, and there was only endless cold. That chill seemed to warm up outside Yu Longguan. The pressure on the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir soared instantly, along with the huge ck dragon with a length of one kilometer being covered with ayer of ck and golden brilliance. One after another, several figures shed from the dark golden light and rushed straight to the direction of Yu Longguan. They were huge ck dragons, and they all had red eyes. On the back of each ck dragon sat two strong men. One was a Moon Devil with long purple hair, while the other was a Star Devil in an orange magic robe. This was the perfectbination of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon, Moon Devil, and Star Devil. And there were as many as 80 groups of theming out. There was no doubt that all the Anti-Heavenly Dragons were the ninth-level strong dragons, and most of these Moon Devils and Star Devils were also ninth-level strong Devils. There was no doubt that this was the strongest power of the Devils n. After eighty Anti-Heavenly Dragons flew out, they lined up in the air. Ayer of ck and golden luster shrouded down from the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the rear, covering them all. All of a sudden, the bodies of all the Anti-Heavenly Dragons doubled in the light of the dark golden light. Thergest body length had exceeded 200 meters, and although the increase of Moon Devils and Star Devils on their backs was rtively small, their momentum had also greatly increased. Standing on the back of the first fourrgest Anti-Heavenly Dragons were the four Heavenly Kings of the Moon Devils n and the Star Devils n. All were domain-level strong Devils. On both sides of the top strength of more than 200 Devils, more than a thousand eighth-level Devils had also appeared one after another, and their bodies were also covered with ck and golden lusters. Under the increase of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, the aura was already very close to the ninth-level strong Devils. Very well, Long Haochen. There was a strong anger in the cold voice of the God of Devils. You seeded in infuriating me. And you did give me a big surprise. The God of Devils Feng Xiu said, Very well. several times because he was not calm at all, and the news just got him out of order. Feng Xiu never thought that Samigina and Marbus would be defeated, and really as Long Haochen said, the defeat was so miserable. His millions of elite troops were routed in the process of attacking the two fortresses. Since when did human beings have such a strong power? Whether it was the magic trap or the Gate of Hell, it had never been seen before. But it also yed a devastating role in this decisive battle. After getting the urate information, Feng Xiu wanted to whip Samigina and tear up Marbus and Warlifer into ten thousand pieces. Their failurepletely destroyed the original n of the God of Devils, especially when he wanted to threaten Long Haochen with the whole human beings life. The stability of the rear of the Temple Union and two great victories were bound to strengthen the belief in these human life-and-death battles before them. It would also greatly increase the difficulty of the Devils n to conquer human beings. Long Haochen smiled calmly and said, I hope you are not too happy. If you be the first and thest God of Devils in the history of the Devils n, you will leave a great deal of color in the history of the whole continent. After listening to Long Haochens words, the God of Devils suddenly smiled, and it was not the kind ofughter with hatred or anger, but a smile full of strong self-confidence and disdain. Long Haochen, do you really think that you and your Temple Federation have won? Yes, I admit, you have caused me a lot of trouble. However, this only added a little trouble to thend. The Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan were both failures, but it doesnt matter. I will personally break through your Yu Longguan and visit the Temple Federation. You will soon learn that all schemes are useless in the face of absolute power. At this point, the voice of the God of Devils suddenly became colder and colder. Kill all of them. Dont leave a single one behind. More than a thousand powerful Devils all started in an instant. In addition to the God of Devils and the 19 Devil Gods he brought, more than 1200 top Devils rushed to the head of Yu Longguan at an astonishing speed. The magical brilliance that bloomed on them instantly lit up the sky and Yu Longguan. For the first time in the history of the Holy Demon Land, more than 200 ninth-level strong Devils and more than 1,000 eighth-level strong Devils attacked a city fortress at the same time. Even when the Devils first came to thend more than six thousand years ago, they never set off such a momentum, when their main force wasplete 72 Pir Devil Gods. The various races that had been infected and transformed into Devils were not nearly as strong as they were now. At this time, the six bright lights lit up in the air at the same time, first started by the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, then all the six Sealed Divine Thrones turned into six streams of light in mid-air, shrouded in their masters, and at the same time, all the strong men on the head of Yu Longguan rose into the air. The time for a fight to the death had finallye, and the God of Devils was right. No matter how fiercely the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan fought, this was the ce of the final battle, and it was also the ce that would determine the ultimate winner of this holy war between the human race and the Devils n. Launch. The clear voice of Long Haochen resounded through the sky over Yu Longguan. At the same time, about two hundred rays of light lit up on the walls and the top of the city tower. The terrifying psychic fluctuation immediately made the whole Yu Longguan tremble slightly. Originally, the pressure brought about by the overall charge of the top yers of more than a thousand Devils actually fluctuated violently. If the human body was used to describe this pressure, then, in this huge body, more than 200 ces felt sharp tingling sensation at the same time. Boom More than 200 roars sounded at the same time, and more than 200 beams of different colors were instantly ejected from the walls and city heads of Yu Longguan. The sound and psychic fluctuations that broke out at that moment were so terrifying that Yu Longguan emitted ayer of smoke in the violent shock, and cracks appeared in many ces on the thick city walls. Long Haochens first card at Yu Longguan was unveiled. Why was it that Mo Dao cannons that the Temple Federation had always relied on for defense did not exert its power in the intense battle at the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan? It was because all the Mo Dao cannons of the entire Temple Federation were concentrated at Yu Longguan. As early as when Long Haochen led an army of Sharp Knives into the six northern provinces of the Devils n, his n began to be carried out. The Temple Federation mobilized almost all the storage equipment above the legendary level to transport the Mo Dao cannons, installed and debugged them at Yu Longguan. In fact, the biggest threat for the Devils n was still awaiting inside. If the God of Devils could get the news earlier that there were no Mo Dao cannons in the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan, then he would be able to judge the whereabouts of the Mo Dao cannons. Unfortunately, arge part of the news he received was filtered by Yue Yes organization. No matter how powerful the God of Devils was, once he became deaf and blind, his strength would be greatly reduced. To put it another way, after the great victory of the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan, Yue Yes organization increased its support for human beings to an unprecedented level, even at the risk of being exposed at any time. More than two hundred beams of light burst at the same time, and without warning, even the God of Devils could not take effective measures at this moment. The biggest difference between a Mo Dao cannons and a wizards magic attack was that it did not need to be casted. It relied solely on the legal array of the cannon itself and the magic crystals that provided energy. Therefore, there would be no warning before it was released. The top leaders of more than a thousand Devils were greeted by the bombardment of the Mo Dao cannons group, which was all powered by ninth-level magic crystals. Chapter 838 - Long Haochens Ancestry? (I)

Chapter 838: Long Haochens Ancestry? (I)

Boom! Over 200 huge bundles of lights at least five meters long crashed with over 1,000 Devils at full speed. Long Haochen was in mid-air when thirteen gleams of crystal white lights integrated into his body. He smiled. What pretty fireworks! What a beautiful scene of fireworks. The sudden group attack left all Devils vulnerable. They couldntpete with lights in terms of speed. Therefore they tried to defend with their utmost efforts. As they were marching forward, eight rank Devils flew in the front and the 80 Devil Dragon armies consisted of three races top strong Devils were in the back. The Devil ns defense ran into the attack of the Mo Dao Cannon. What a dazzling explosion! Countless lights of different colors appeared in the sky and formed a huge light ball with a scary elemental storm raging inside. Tons of strong Devils were cast flying away in the attack, and they were strong enough to defend themselves from being crushed into pieces. Those who were weaker or positioned in the ce with dense attacks were less lucky. If viewed from a long distance, Yu Longguan now was like shooting out a cannon to a group of mosquitoes. The God of Devils roared angrily and the dark golden kilometer-long dragon flew out from the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir, spurting out a breath of dark golden color. It arrived ten miles away in an instant. The strong golden color crashed with an elemental storm and splitted it. Needless to say, Mo Dao Cannons power was the strongest the moment it issued an attack. The inconvincible momentum of the Devils n was stopped by force. Among over 1000 Devil n of rank eight in the front, at least one fourth died in this scary crash and over half of them got injured. Among all the Mo Dao Cannon, a few gleams were very violent, the strongest light presented as grey, which not only killed 8 Devils of rank eight and even fell on an Anti-Heavenly Devil dragon. With its defense power, the Moon Devil and Star Devils support from its back, it could not defend it. The dragon was badly injured, the Moon Devil and Star Devil were killed. And that grey aura was the power of death. Mo Dao Cannon could release such strong power. It proved that the Devil Crystal was anything but ordinary. To be more urate, it was the Devil God crown of Undead Devil God Samigina. The four Devil Emperors of the Devil n fought for the right of session from Undead Devil God all because the crown of the Devil God did not pass down yet. However, by their level and status in the Vicious Devil Race, as long as they had consent, they could take the throne by force. But out of their expectation, Samiginas Devil God crown was used as the fuel of Mo Dao Cannon by Temple Federation. The other Mo Dao Cannon with strong power also used the crown as fuel. And those attacks of dark attributes also used Devil Crystal from the Devil n. Long Haochen and other seniors in Temple Federation Congress were all clear that confrontation with Devils was not a good idea. They had to use some special methods to fight against the God of Devils. Under the circumstance of news being cut off, Mo Dao Cannons explosion attack at the same time gave the top strong Devils brought by the God of Devils a huge attack. Though it did not harm their foundation, it at least terrorized them and destroyed their morale. The elemental storm disappeared and the Devil n gathered again without marching forward. Many looked terrified. Over two hundred Mo Dao Cannons Human beings were too well prepared. The God of Devils was very angry and he looked at the purple moon in the distance and shed. Then he appeared by the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir. Agarez, I need an exnation from you as this battle ends. Feng Xius voice rang beside Moon Devil God Agarezs ear but others did not hear it. In this critical battle, the Moon Devil n was one third of it. Now was not the time to me Agarez. The priority was to crush the defense power of Yu Longguan. Over 200 Mo Dao Cannon were getting refilled for the second time, with a rank nine Devil Crystal in it. They would surely issue more than one attack, which might not be as powerful as the first time, but at least it could terrorize the Devil n. However, Feng Xiu did not give them the chance to explode again. He stepped out and the next moment he stood in the front of all strong Devils. In the distance the dark golden dragon kept roaring and in Feng Xius eyes, the same dazzling dark golden light shone. His ck hair turned to a big wheel like dark sun. His elegant robe waved without wind. And when he appeared in the front, he seemed so quiet and the sky calmed down together with him. The moment Feng Xiu moved, Long Haochen moved as well. The huge white wings on the armor of eternity spread and the next moment he suspended in mid-air 500 meters away from Feng Xiu. Face to face, Long Haochen was suppressed by Feng Xius aura almost instantly. He felt the God of Devils immense pressure just by standing in front of him. Long Haochen felt like Feng Xiu was an ocean, mysterious and limitless. However, he would not want to be oppressed like this. In Long Haochens chest, the Divine Stone of Eternity shone with green light and clear heartbeat rang up. Suddenly Long Haochens aura soared. A green light full of living aura spread out, confronting the God of Devils dark golden aura. You cannot stop me, the God of Devils said coldly and lifted up his right hand towards Long Haochen and stretched his forefinger. Seeing him, Long Haochens Heart of Eternity contracted suddenly. He was killed by itst time in Star Devil Tower. His heart would be ruined. However, he only froze less than a second and then he lifted up the Sword of Eternity high above his head and pointed towards the God of Devils. The Domain of Eternity wasbined with the Light God Domain and spread out a glow of green light. Meanwhile, his body disappeared in it. All Things Resuscitate in Three Swords of Eternity. The God of Devils right hand fingertip beamed with dark golden light of only fist size. Only in that light, a deafening dragon cry rang up as if a huge dragon was sealed in that small light ball. A scary sound wave exploded from his fingertip in the next moment and the huge dragon 1,000 meters away opened its mouth towards the battlefield but the sound came from the light ball. In this sound wave, Long Haochens All Things Resuscitate was like an inted green bubble and when it expanded to extreme, it exploded. The sound wave rushed towards Yu Longguan and Long Haochen waved his swords towards the God of Devils without retreating. That sword shining with crystal white light also hummed, which protected Long Haochen from the dragon crys interruption. The crystal white of Sword of Eternity seemed so pure but it did not release any of the sword light. The waved seemed to be so simple, as if it was no different from an average soldier of rank two or three waving his sword. However, this simple attack soon attracted the God of Devils attention. He took back his finger and then clenched his fist towards Long Haochen. Bang! The sword shed with fist and gave out a sound of metal sh. Long Haochen trembled and a white glow spread out from his body. The God of Devils body was hit back one hundred meters away. The core position of their sh did not release any spiritual power. The strong men at Yu Longguan all held their breaths. They were all clear that the key of the battle was Long Haochen defending against the God of Devils. If Long Haochen were to fail, then humans would have no more power to fight against the God of Devils. No matter how well prepared they were, nobody could change the bad ending. Not only on the humans side, the Devils heartbeats also stopped at this sh. Because for them, it was important if Long Haochen could defend himself against the God of Devils. The God of Devils lifted the edge of his long robe and a rip appeared underneath. His fist did not defend against Long Haochens swordpletely. And on his right hand back, a narrow blood wound appeared and was slowly healing. The God of Devils smiled and nodded at Long Haochen. You grow very fast. You got the true meaning of Domain For Me and the sword attack with domain skill. Very good. Less than five of my people can retreat without injury under this attack. No wonder you are confident enough to challenge me. But Im afraid your Mo Dao Cannon can no longer be used. He was right. The Mo Dao Cannon, which had been saving power, had dimmed. Without looking back to check, Long Haochen could feel it with his strong spiritual power. Chapter 839 - Long Haochen’s Ancestry? (II)

Chapter 839: Long Haochens Ancestry? (II)

All those who controlled the Mo Dao Cannon were killed in that dragon cry sound. He wasnt able topletely defend against the God of Devils attack just now. He still failed in the sh. However, if it was not for his offensive attack, the tough Mo Dao Cannon might be destroyed as well together with those people. Long Haochen attacked with all efforts, but the Light Waltz in Sword of Eternity failed. Though he didnt failpletely, the God of Devils strength was far better than that of his because he hadnt used the Devil Deification and Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon. The God of Devils said with ease, Lets hand this over to people on the ground and move to the sky. There are few people nowadays who could interest me enough to have a fight. You should be proud just for having this chance. The God of Devils turned to a gleam of dark golden light and rose up to the sky. Long Haochen did not retreat and his wings fluttered and beamed with a crystal white light. The leaders of the two sides rose up to the sky at the same time, to have their own battle. This was unimaginable for the Devil n. It was because they never thought of anyone who could be capable of fighting against the God of Devils one on one. As for the humans, they felt much relieved because Long Haochen did defend himself against the God of Devils, which boosted their confidence to a great degree. As they both rose up, the full scale war between humans and Devils began. Without God of Devils instructions, the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God led the other 19 Devils Gods and Devil armies towards Yu Longguan. The Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir did not turn around as the God of Devils rose to the sky. The dark golden light still was protecting all the Devil ns. If not for its protection just now, the Mo Dao Cannons attack would have brought great damage to the Devil n. The human armies allunched out and confronted the Devil army. The battle had begun. Long Haochen made a great difference in this war. Due to his defense against the God of Devils, the Mo Dao Cannons were keptplete. New people started to use the cannon. Though they were less familiar with it, with the assistance of over 200 Mo Dao Cannons, the two sides powers were bnced from the very beginning. Sixty three Eternal Heroes, apart from the nine who were dead, all gathered here. It was because of them and over fifty men with strong domains, over ten with Domain for Me power plus two of rank nine level seven, that humans could challenge the Devil n. It was a fierce fight. Shu Yongxiao found the Moon Devil Star Agarez and Xiao Huo found the Star Devil God Vashak. They were supposed to switch, but Agarez was a prophet, so an assassin would not mean much to him. No matter how strong Shu Yongxiao was, he could predict the attacking position and not much attack she could do. Therefore, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo switched. Shu Yongxiao fought with Agarez and Xiao Huo confronted Vashak. The battle turned white-hot at its very beginning. All men of rank nine in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group fought with Devil Gods. Caier joined in the fight as well together with twelve Sacred Saints, encircling three Devil Gods. However, it was not there that the battle was the most fierce, but the fight between Long Xingyu with red hair, the Sealed Divine Knight of Judgment and the Seventh Pir War Devil God Anan with a huge body. They were old enemies and Long Xingyu had always been in disadvantage in their previous fights. Therefore, they fought with each other as the battle began. Almost all those who fought with Devil Gods were Eternal Heroes of rank nine level five. The Holy Knight of Starry Sky led strong men to face the Devil Dragon army. Outside of Yu Longguan, a Holy War started full scale. Long Haochen followed with the God of Devils and rose up over 3000 meters in the sky, then they stopped. Long Haochen suspended about several hundred meters away from him. When Long Haochen was rising up, he calmed downpletely. The battle that finally decided the ending of this war was the fight between himself and the God of Devils, no matter how the Yu Longguan battle turned out. If he were to fail, then the humans would not be able to defend against the God of Devils. If he were to win, then he could still save the situation even if the Yu Longguan battle were to fail. Before the war, Long Haochen gave the order that if the army could not defend against the Devil n at Yu Longguan, they should shift to another ce and temporarily give up Yu Longguan. Inside Yu Longguan, there were only a few people left. In this battle of strong, average knights and soldiers could not do much. They all retreated to the Knights Holy Mountain to construct the second defense line. Once the front shifted, they could still use light magic formation to hold up for a period of time. In addition, he had enough reason to believe that as long as his fight with God of Devils couldst long enough, even if they all ended with injury, the final winner would belong to the human side as Yue Yes organization hadnt been used yet. Long Haochen, do you still not understand? The God of Devils stood with two hands folded as if he did not care about the battle on the ground at all. I dont understand? Long Haochen looked at the God of Devils with a smile, I do not know why. This time facing Your Majesty, it seems that your mental state is not so well. Or is it because you practice so often that there are issues with your brain? The God of Devils didnt get angry at Long Haochens irony. My brain? Long Haochen, do you really think that I treated you like this simply because of your gift and talent? Do you really think that you can rival me at your current level? I didnt harm you because there is a good reason. Long Haochen was stunned. As they stopped, the God of Devils didnt issue any attack but talked with him with riddles. He felt somehow nervous because of his tone and expression. What is the reason then? Long Haochen asked coldly. He would be happy dying the process, therefore he was not in a hurry to jump into the fight. The God of Devils smiled. I can see that you are confident about this war. You know very well that your level is lower than me but you still chose to fight one on one. By this courage, nobody couldpete with you in this world. Before I tell you the reason, let me guess why you are so confident. If Im not mistaken, I believe Agarez or Vashak promised you something? Hearing it, Long Haochen shook violently as he could not control his emotion. He didnt expect the God of Devils would talk to him like this in such a rxing tone. A cold light shed in the God of Devils eyes. Good for Agarez! I see him as my most trusted brother, and he set a trap for me! We failed at Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. The Temple Federation prepared too well. And you are even faster than me in getting the news. If not for a traitor amongst my people and sent you enough information, and shut up my informants, can you achieve such results? And the ones who dared to and were able to do it were only Agarez, Vashak, Samigina, and Marbus. The one who followed me in the military situation was Agarez, my good brother! I do not see what good can it bring to him if we fail. Does he want my seat? After being stunned for a short while, Long Haochen calmed down. No wonder you are called the God of Devils! Even after a series of changes, you can still find the root of all problems so soon. But Im curious why you are not worried. The God of Devils smiled gently. He was not worried indeed. Why should I? Agarez betrayed me and I am very disappointed. I even have doubts that Vashak has also betrayed me because of him. But do you think this can affect my foundation? You dont know much about the Devil n. I can tell you, before you defeat me or I show any tendency to be defeated, those two will never betray me publicly. You think I am called the God of Devils for nothing? As long as Im the strongest on thisnd, no one will dare to betray me in broad daylight. As for how to deal with them, Ill wait after this war ends. I believe even if they join hands with you, the cooperation will be based on certain conditions. If he dares to put all the eggs in one basket, then he will not wait until now. Long Haochen felt surprised. The God of Devils was too confident and that confidence affected his own mental state. The Moon Devil God Agarez was the real leader of Yue Ye and that was why it had such a big team inside the Devil n. Otherwise, how could this organization escape the perception of the God of Devils? It was Yue Ye who told him that the God of Devils nned to confront him and Agarez did it on purpose because he did not hope for Long Haochens death but he wanted Long Haochen to lead the humans to fight with the God of Devils. Chapter 840 - Long Haochen’s Ancestry? (III)

Chapter 840: Long Haochens Ancestry? (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Agarez himself had human blood and after he grew up as an adult, he was influenced by human beings culture deeply, therefore he disliked his own identity as a Devil. That was why his favorite concubine was a human being. But even inside the Moon Devil n, only one third of the members were trusted ones and those who knew this secret were very few. He had to be careful! He wanted to overthrow the God of Devils but he was scared to do so, especially because he was so close to him and he knew how scary he could be. For example,st time when the God of Devils and Star Devil God set a trap for Long Haochen, Agarez did not even know the details. He only knew about the trap when he went back to Xincheng with the God of Devils, but he did not get any chances to send the message out because they were always together and that caused Long Haochens death. After Long Haochens death, for several years, Yue Ye disappeared and Agarez hid his own organization even better because he knew that he might not have the chance to do it again. However, he did not know that Long Haochen was alive and even became the chairman of the Temple Federation, which gave him hope again. He then used Yue Ye as contact and supported Long Haochen with great efforts. If not for Agarezs assistance, the God of Devils would have had more information about the battle and more details. But just as Feng Xiu mentioned, after years of umtion of power, Agarez would not dare to put all eggs in one basket and would not easily go against the God of Devils in public.. He had to think for his own people and race. Only if Long Haochen were to defeat the God of Devils and everything almost settled, he would then join hands with Long Haochen. Looking into Long Haochens eyes, the God of Devils said, You are very careful and you are right about one thing. In this war, the key battle is between you and me. If you defeat me, then humans will win and my six thousand years of reign over thisnd will be over. But if you lose, then everything will go back to its normal track. I will control you and will not even let any professionals over rank six exist in all human race. Long Haochen said with a cold voice, Its time for Your Majesty to tell me the reason that you mentioned earlier after all this bullshit. The God of Devils smiled. Im going to. Otherwise how can I have you surrender to me one hundred percent? Long Haochen said coldly, Stop daydreaming. The God of Devils did not care for Long Haochens sarcastic word. You beat Po down and made a way for yourself to the top. You are smart and I would say your contributions to this war was almost the reason for humans to win over so many different battles. You even blocked my attack to win enough chances for humans. Impressive. But even the wise are not always free from error and the most important reason was the part you failed. Why do I treat you differently? Why did I feel so much pain when I killed you? Not because of your talent, but He then stopped and his eyes became widely open. Because there is my blood inside your body! Hearing it, Long Haochen felt like a hammer just hit him in the chest and he retreated 100 meters away. The Armor of Eternitys light fluctuated. He was shocked. Long Haochen did not expect the God of Devils to be saying such things. He naturally lifted up the Sword of Eternity. But the God of Devils did not attack him when he became nervous. He kept his posture and looked at Long Haochen more gently. The God of Devils ck hair waved in the air and he looked at Long Haochen with a smile. You are talented and you worked hard for human beings. In my eyes you did all those to prove your ability. Now you understand why I said that I want you to be my second inheritor when we first met. Now I see you as my first inheritor. You are smart, wise, and capable of it. And you have my blood. We are a family. Think about it, if we were to join hands together, then who can rival against us in thisnd? Anything you want, I will help you to get it. The Holy Demon Land will be ours. You are a saint and Im a Devil. We are a family. Shut up! Long Haochen shouted. Bullshit. I dont believe you. The God of Devils smiled faintly. Its a fact whether you believe it or not. Think about the times weve met. If not for your blood, you might have died many times. We met first at Qu Moguan and I met you for the second time at Moon Devil Pce and you disguised yourself as Yue Yes maid. I knew you and Yue Ye were friends. But I did not kill you, nor did I put you in my prison because I was waiting for you to grow strong enough. But I did not expect you to grow so fast and so talented. It seems that thebination of human and Devil blood works even better! No! No! I dont believe it. Long Haochen was deeply shocked. He made up his mind to be a knight at around ten years old and in thest twenty years, he went through so many difficulties. He finally became a proud human, the Chairman of Temple Federation, and Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leader. He relied on his efforts and good luck until today However, now when humans were fighting with Devils, in his final battle with God of Devils, he received the information that he had the Devil ns blood, which belonged to the Anti-Heavenly Dragon branch. This was a big blow for him. He could not control his emotion right now no matter how determined he was. If what the God of Devils said was true, then what had he been fighting for so many years? The Devil who stood in front of him brought so many disasters to humans and issued the Holy War twice was actually his own Long Haochen could not think further and he only felt a great headache. The intention to fight now changed looking at God of Devils. Even the aura of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation could not suppress the change. The God of Devils was satisfied seeing his change. Youve done many things and Ive made some mistakes as well. But if this one thing is right, then all humans efforts would be in vain. I know you do not want to believe it but it is true. I did research on your background. You did not grow up in Holy City or Yu Longguan, right? You are from Ao Ding Town, a small human town nearby Wan Shouguan. You and your mother Bai Yue lived together. But your father Long Xingyu separated with you for more than ten years. Later you found each other. I remember my men told me that the Sealed Divine Knight of Judgment Long Xingyu appeared at Ao Ding Town and killed a group of strong Devils. It should be the time when they found you and started teaching you knight skills. But have you ever thought why your parents separated? Your mother knew Long Xingyu was at Yu Longguan. Then why didnt she bring you to him? Hearing it, Long Haochens face turned pale. About thirty years ago, one year before you were born. I found your mother identally and took her back with me to my pce and we lived together for a period of time. Later, she threatened me with her death because she wanted to leave the Devil n. I then had to send her back to the Temple Federation. Your mother was one of the women I loved most in my life, even more than my love towards Leng Xiao. If Im not mistaken, after she went back to the Temple Federation, she did not know how to face your father. That was why she hid in Ao Ding Town until the day when Long Xingyu found you. Bai Yue could not face Long Xingyu, partly because of me, partly because of you. If you still do not believe it, lets do a test of our blood. Blood is thicker than water and no rtionship is stronger than blood rtion. Feng Xiu lifted up his hand and a drop of dark purple blood slowly came out from his hand back. He left this wound open on purpose. The blood drop slowly flew with traces of ck and blue aura. When it arrived in front of Long Haochen, it was only crystal purple. Feng Xiu took all attributes away from his own blood and there was only pure power of blood left in there. Long Haochen put his forefinger in his mouth with nk eyes and bit. A drop of light golden blood came out and flew without any light attributes. When those two drops touched, ayer of unique light lit up and then slowly the two integrated. Long Haochen was stunned. He knew very well of the meaning behind the integration of their blood drops. Could it be that? Chapter 841 - Fight With The God Of Devils (I)

Chapter 841: Fight With The God Of Devils (I)

Long Haochens body trembled violently. He could not believe it. The enemy standing in front of him Could he really be his father? He did not want to believe it! How could he face his friends and the rest of humankind? How could he then go into the battle with the God of Devils with full efforts? Just as Long Haochen was trembling out of anger and excitement, the God of Devils expression suddenly changed. It was because the two drops of blood separated and suspended in mid-air. The integration scene was gone. What? How can this be possible? The God of Devils looked at the blood drops with nk eyes. Long Haochen was stunned as well and his anger and sadness weakened. Meanwhile, he retreated rapidly 100 meters and lifted up his Sword of Eternity again. The blood did not melt together, which meant that he did not have blood of the God of Devils. No matter what he said before, fact told everything. Soon, Long Haochens emotion was under control. No! Impossible! You have my blood. This cannot be wrong. The God of Devils shouted with anger. He waved his right hand and had those two blood drops appear in front of him. He tried to use his own power to push these two drops together but they integrated at the very beginning and then soon separated clearly. The God of Devils eyes were full of confusion. His biggest card seemed to be wrong and this shock was not any less than what Long Haochen suffered just now. No, no. There must be something wrong. Must. The God of Devils looked up at Long Haochen. What have you done? Why is my blood so weak? And it even disappeared? Say it now! What have you done? Long Haochen replied coldly, I did nothing, God of Devils. Your lie is revealed with time. Now lets start our battle. Long Haochen grabbed the Sword of Eternity with two hands and lights shone in his eyes. After the shock, his anger was now at the peak. And the determination grew much stronger like never before. Around his body, the seven-colored light suddenly rushed into the seven-colored divine stone in his chest. And then the strong seven-colored light bounced back from the stone and shone on the Sword of Eternity, which made it beam with strong lights. Long Haochens Armor of Eternity changed to the same color. A faint trace of aura of living spread out from the Sword of Eternity and then the aura soared and became a dreadful creature. Behind Long Haochens back, Sacred Dragon appeared and lit up the whole sky. Take my second attack of Three Swords of Eternity, Animals of Creation. Thousands of gleams of seven-colored lights burst out in the sky and ran towards the God of Devils. The holy dragons shadow became more real behind Long Haochens back. With a sharp roar, it went towards the God of Devils together with the Sword of Eternity. Long Haochens strength went up to an unprecedented level and the God of Devils eyes were full of shock. Go away! The God of Devils shouted and he gave a fake attack with his right fist. A huge dark golden dragon shadow appeared behind his back only for a short time and then was covered by the seven-colored lights. The sharp roar produced many seven-colored clouds flying in the sky. The God of Devils waspletely swallowed in this attack. Long Haochen was breathing heavily when he issued this attack and he calmed down as well. In just a few seconds, he had his own judgments about what the God of Devils said just now. Bastard! You dare to attack me?! The God of Devils voice was full of anger and he was not asposed as he was after he tore up the seven-colored clouds. In the corner of his mouth, a trace of purple blood appeared and some parts of his clothes were torn open. He pushed out the lights from his facial orifices which all turned to mist and disappeared. And even his nicely set hair got a little messy. Under this attack of Animals of Creation, the God of Devils was hurt. Long Haochen looked at him coldly. Why cant I? The God of Devils looked at Long Haochen coldly as well. Do you think what I just told you was a lie? Out of the God of Devils expectation, Long Haochen shook his head. No, I believe what you just said. He was surprised. Then you admit it? Long Haochen shook his head again. No. Believing and admitting it are two different things. I believe that you did not lie because of your high status and there is your blood inside my body. But do you still remember what happened at the Star Devil Tower? Even if there was your part of blood in me, when you crushed my heart in the tower, you killed the old me. No matter what our rtionship is, from that moment, it all went away. And we are only enemies now. And your blood would no longer exist because you killed me once and in the process of resurrection and being recognized by the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, that power of blood of yours waspletely destroyed. I am Long Haochen, who belongs to the Temple Federation, the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leader. And you are my enemy only. The God of Devils frowned. What are you talking about? The loss of that blood was an ident. After all, you have my inheritance. That loss is not a problem at all. I can help you to recover that blood. As for the Star Devil Tower, you could see that Ive suffered a lot in that attack. But I did not have a choice. The existence of Austin Griffin was a fatal threat to my n, as the leader of the Devil n, I have to kill my own rtive, you. Long Haochen smiled. He calmed downpletely after hearing the God of Devils words. No matter what the God of Devils said, he would not care. He had none of his blood left and he remembered that attack from the God of Devils in the Star Devil Tower. Long Haochen pushed out all the thoughts and decided that no matter how close he was rted to the God of Devils, the moment he was killed by him in the tower, their connection was cut off and would not recover. How splendid. You are the top of the Devil n and will kill your own blood for your people. And Im the chairman of the human federation, why cant I do the same thing? Come on, God of Devils. We are only enemies and today either you kill me or I will do the justice and lead humans to break through the dark age and let the dawn of lights arrive again. Long Haochens momentum gathered and the Armor of Eternity beamed with a crystal white light. The three light balls surrounding his body swirled even faster. A circle of white glow slowly spread out from Long Haochens body and moved towards the God of Devils, which was thebination of Domain of Eternity and Light God Domain. Long Haochen already increased his domain to the highest level The God of Devils eyes grew cold and Long Haochens sword attack just now filled his heart with anger. So you are very stubborn and want to be my enemy. Long Haochen said with pride, We have always been enemies. Lets see if you have the power to kill me or not for the second time. The God of Devils nodded and his sharp eyes seemed to crack open the space. Good. Then let me crush your confidence first and force you to kneel in front of me begging for pardon. Until this moment, the God of Devils did not want to kill Long Haochen. When he heard Long Haochen mentioning the Star Devil Tower, he felt somehow a great pain. Right! He killed Long Haochen for his n then howe Long Haochen would surrender that easily in his position right now even knowing he had his own blood? Now the God of Devils could only choose to defeat him first, kill all the humans, and then take Long Haochen back to the Devil n. After he made his n, the God of Devils did not hesitate and ayer of dark golden light slowly spread from his body. Meanwhile, a sharp dragon cry sounded behind him. The big dark golden dragon of 1000 meters long tore open the seven-colored cloud open and spread out his huge wings behind his back. Long Haochen was very calm. He knew that in order to defeat the God of Devils, he had to force him to show all his cards. Now the God of Devils was only using his domain and was not using Devil Deification, not to mention his Devils Disintegration Method. Long Haochen was not scared of death. Though he was calm, he would by no means admit that he was rted to the God of Devils. He was even more clear that in terms of practice level, he was very different from the God of Devils. He would have to go all out for this fight and kill the God of Devilspletely. He did not care that he had to die with him. After Long Haochen also had his own n, he became exceptionally calm. He faked an attack with his left hand and a golden crack appeared in the sky and a golden huge sword fell into his palm. Chapter 842 - Fight With The God Of Devils (II)

Chapter 842: Fight With The God Of Devils (II)

The huge golden sword beamed with eight-colored light and its aura was not any weaker than that of the Sword of Eternity. With two great swords in hand, Long Haochens momentum rose again. His domain shed with that of the God of Devils. The crystal white domain shed with the dark golden domain. Long Haochen trembled and the God of Devils suspended in mid-air steadily. The sh of their domains gave out a sharp grating sound. Lightning appeared in the process. Looking at the sky from the ground, ck light and white light shone alternatively like day and night switched instantly. Both Long Haochen and the God of Devils aura increased rapidly. The battle of domains was just the beginning. Once they both attacked, the battle was shocking. As Long Haochen fought with the God of Devils, the battle at Yu Longguan had entered its prime period. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group once again proved to the Federation how strong they were. After the Big Contest of the Holy Temple and the experience in the world of ck and red, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group had achieved great progress. Especially after they received the lessons from the Eternal Heroes, their capability and practice levels both improved greatly. The Vice Chairman of the Temple Federation, Head of the Warrior Temple, Bloody Goddess of War. Wang Yuanyuan faced Babatos, the Original Power Devil God, ranking eighth among all the 72 Devil Gods. Although his title was the Original Power Devil God, he appeared as an archer in a green hat and grey cape. He held a dark golden bow and every time he shot, the arrow turned to a beast running towards Wang Yuanyuan. His attack was very aggressive. Wang Yuanyuan was not weak. She held the huge shield in her left hand and blood rain in her right hand. The blood domain covered all over her body. In this strong aura of blood and killing, she was like a hunter running after Babatos and killing all the beasts that were shooted out at her. She seemed to be in the upper hand. However, Wang Yuanyuan was clear about the gap between them. Her practice level was under rank nine level three, but her opponent was rank nine level five. Apparently, Babatos reserved some power and did not use his Devil God Pir. In their fight, he sometimes shot at other directions. Although he was running all the time, he was at ease. Wang Yuanyuan did not seem to understand and kept running behind Babatos. She did not issue any long distance attack. It seemed that she only wanted to get him busy. Compared to Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Yinger was much more active. Her opponent was the Wisdom Devil God, ranking 11th among all 72 Devil Gods and was a pure magic god. He used dark magic almost endlessly. But when faced with Chen Yinger, he had to use Devil Deification to barely defend Chen Yingers attack. Chen Yinger wore the Soul Holy Gown and levitated. No other enemies were near her because six huge dragons surrounded her, not earth dragons but real huge dragons. There was a fire dragon that spurted fire, an ice dragon that spurted ice, a diamond dragon that beamed with diamond luster, a petty green dragon in breeze, a dark purple dragon, and a saint dragon covered with bright golden luster. In this age where dragons were almost extinct, Chen Yinger summoned six huge dragons and the Domain of Beast even improved their levels and her mount was the four-headed Qi Me which transformed from McDull. She was fighting face to face with the Wisdom Devil God, Gu Xin and was not at any disadvantage. Within the Light Dawn Demon Huntergroup, besides Long Haochen and Caier, the one that made the most progress was Chen Yinger. As a soul saint, she was especially cared for by several conjurers of Eternal Heroes. She now had a new understanding about bestowing souls. Therefore, she could use the Soul Holy Gown better. She not only summoned six huge dragons, but also the Thirty Six Door of Creatures also opened at Yu Longguan. Thirty six beasts upied a huge area and kept four teams of Devil Dragon armies busy. She yed an important role in the battle. Chen Yinger was close to Caier in terms of strength. As a conjurer, her advantage became even more apparent. If it was a one-on-one fight, then the conjurer would need time to summon and therefore she would not gain the upper hand in this battle. But Chen Yinger was protected by her friends, so she would have enough time to exert all her power. Soul Saint, Beast Gods Revered Ones help made Chen Yinger shine on the battleground. Lin Xins opponent was Angel Devil God Baimen, ranking ninth among all Devil Gods. Baimen flung his six ck wings and fought with Lin Xin. The two fought with pure magic. If it was purely a fire magician facing a dark magician, then she would suffer. However, Lin Xin used Heart Fire, which was not inferior to the opponents magic in terms of attribute. He was not at a disadvantage with his great equipment and his own domain level in the fight with Baimen. But Baimen did not fight with full strength yet as he hadnt used Devil Deification. Si Maxian went to Paer, who ranked tenth and was also named Lightning Devil God. His body was all green and half human half mantis. He looked like a small version of Green Two de Demon. He issued aggressive attacks rapidly. Si Maxian used the Big Power Ball of Light to barely defend against his attack and waspletely oppressed. If not for his domain power and Purple Divine Furnace, he might not be able to defend him. Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang were in a better situation. The two were both Divine Knights. After Long Haochen and the God of Devils left this battle, the five Divine Knights allunched their attacks and they faced with Devils ranking lower than 15th except for Long Xingyu, who was facing Anan. They fought at ease. Caier fought with three Devil Gods by herself and even gained an upper hand with the assistance of twelve Sacred Saints. The three Devils Gods were the Emotion Devil God Sidy ranking 12th, the Rhythm Devil God Brace ranking 13th, and the Snake Spear Devil God Aligor ranking 15th. The reason she chose these three was that Sidy and Brace were both good at full scale attacks and able to increase or lower their practice level at will. If they were put to full use, it might produce a negative influence in the battle. As for Aligor, he was very strong and was good at using snake poison. Caier, with the assistance of the Sacred Saints, and together with Tower of Eternity and Sickle of Death, oppressed these three Devil Gods, who could not do anything else but defend themselves. And Aligor had already used Devil Deification, whereas the other two did not and were still waiting for chances. In general, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter groups strength was weaker than the Devil Gods but the gap was not too big. And since not all Devil Gods went all out, therefore they could keep a bnce of two sides. The Devil Gods did not go all out because this battle was not one-on-one. For the high ranking Devils, it was more important to protect themselves than killing the opponent. Moreover, though the Devil race was at an advantage in overall strength, they had to be careful of the Mo Dao Cannons. Therefore, they had to reserve power. The Eternal Heroes yed an even greater role. These domain heroes almost blocked one third of the Devil ns attacks. Besides the ones that Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and Long Xingyu were dealing with, the rest of the Devil Gods were all blocked by them. Thus, the Sealed Knights had enough time to deal with the Devil Dragon army. Killing Devil Gods was not easy, but it was much easier to deal with other Devils. With the Eternal Heroes, though the human beings did not have the same amount of elite soldiers, their overall quality was better than that of the Devils side. However, no matter how they fought, they would look up to the sky at Long Haochen and the God of Devils, which was the key to the war. The Devils were waiting for the God of Devils toe back with a dead Long Haochen. Then the humans would have no power to defend themselves. And the strong men in the Temple Federation hoped that Long Haochen could at least defend himself under the God of Devils attacks. The Mo Dao Cannon was very powerful, and its power increased as time went by. Although they were not much of a threat to the strong Devils of rank nine, they could kill those of lower than rank eight with ease, especially those super Mo Dao Cannons that were filled with Devil God Crowns. Their power brought a huge pressure over the Devils. Besides the battle between Long Haochen and God of Devils, the battle where the Star Devil God and the Moon Devil God were fighting was the one that caught most attention. As the second and third Devil Gods, their strength was unimaginable. But their opponents were not weak. As the leader of Eternal Heroes, the Head of the Temple of the First Generation, Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiaos strengths were no doubt very strong and with rich fighting experience. Therefore the result between their fight with the two Devil Gods was unimaginable. Casualties continued to appear and were mostly the elites of both sides at rank seven or eight. Over ten Secret Silver Pedestal Knights were killed in the Knight Temple. Many strong men from the Magic Temple and Assassin Temple were also killed. Chapter 843 - Fight With The God Of Devils (III)

Chapter 843: Fight With The God Of Devils (III)

However, the Devil n suffered a greater loss because of Mo Dao Cannon and the initial attacking of it. Thus, the Devils were no longer in the upper hand as before. Each Mo Dao Cannon was controlled by a specialist and once it found the enemy, it shot! When the third round of the cannons wereunched, the Devils death count exceeded 500. Though thest two rounds of theunch did not bring that much damage to the Devils, some could not hide or escape quickly. With the Mo Dao Cannon, even the Devil Dragon army consisting of three level nine Devils was greatly influenced. High above in the air, Long Haochen and the God of Devils domain sh went to the extreme. A ck hole of 30 meters in diameter appeared between the dark golden light and white light. At the edge of the hole, one half was white and another half was dark gold. Its huge pressure oppressed both Long Haochen and the God of Devils. The gap between them two now was apparent. The swords in Long Haochens hands were shaking but the God of Devils was still very calm. And he did not use any weapons. But the God of Devils said nothing. He was determined to defeat Long Haochen first and then make him surrender. Long Haochens words just now hurt him deeply. It was about his death in the Devil Tower. The God of Devils already had a n. As the leader, he had many secret magic skills. One was the power to eliminate spiritual memory. He knew that it was impossible for Long Haochen to surrender now. He then would choose another way and make a new personality and soul out of him and make him the inheritor of the Devil n. His n was to defeat Long Haochen first and then erase his memory and spirit stamp but keep his level. Then, the God of Devils would infuse his power of blood into Long Haochens body and take Ye Xiaoleis power away from him and make her his own goddess. The final goal was to make himself a real god and have Long Haochen inherit his throne. The process could be very hard andplicated, but the God of Devils was confident. Not only because he had the power, but also because he had enough time. To train Long Haochen to a high level was much better than waiting for Po to recover. And Pos personality was not suitable to inherit the throne. Long Haochen did not know what the God of Devils was thinking. After the violent spiritual fluctuation just now, he already made up his mind. No matter what, he would fight for humankind. He would not retreat even if he had the God of Devils blood. He would fight for thousands of humans to regain their control of thend and end 6000 years of dark age. He was willing to even kill his rtives and sacrifice his own life. Therefore, Long Haochen was more determined than ever and that spirit in his eyes even made the God of Devils nervous. Long Haochen was not able to hold up in the sh as the ck hole continued to grow. It finally exceeded his range. He turned the swords around and an intensive golden light exploded again. The ck hole exploded as Long Haochen took away his domain power. It was only 30 meters wide at the beginning as it did not blossom when the two sides were shing together. Now Long Haochens power went away and the hole exploded and the sky turned dark. It was because the God of Devils was still putting in his power of domain, which resulted in the holes attack towards Long Haochen. If Long Haochen could not hold against it, then he would be swallowed into it. However, Long Haochen remained calm and he already had a n when withdrawing his domain. He pointed the Sword of Eternity towards the sky and the three white balls surrounding the Armor of Eternity were used for the first time. The white glows quietly fell on the magic stone of eternity and then his body disappeared. Of the three light balls, the green one represented the spokesman of Lord of Nature Eastons King, the seven colored-one represented the Sacred Dragon, and the white one represented Eternals Angel. And the three strong men in the domain of eternity each represented the power of nature, creatures, and stars of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Long Haochen used the power of stars, the strongest one this time. Though it was not thest skill of the Three Swords of Eternity, it was one of the strongest powers bestowed by the throne. The moment Long Haochens body disappeared, the holes power stopped. The God of Devils felt something strange as if Long Haochen became the sky. He was a bit stunned even at his level by the strange feeling and he put his power into full y. A dark blue lightning instant turned to shield and came in front of him. The next moment, the ck hole turned around and faced towards him instead. There was an explosion! The terrifying power struck the God of Devils and his body trembled. The God of Devils did not expect Long Haochen to be able to do something like this and his domain was forced to face the ck hole. However, the dark golden dragon suddenly rose up with his 1000 meters long body and the God of Devils retreated under the explosion. The ck hole expanded very quickly but was still slower than the dragon, whichpletely prevented the hole from further expanding and sealed it by force. The space which was torn apart was recovering. Long Haochen appeared on the way of the God of Devils and pointed his Sword of Eternity at him. Behind his back, countless stars shone. The star lights became a huge angel picture and the background of the whole sky. The day turned to night and the lights there seemed to light up the hope. The Sword of Eternity was like the sword of guidance and thousands of streams of star lights converged and turned to a huge light pir, running towards God of Devils, who lost the protection of dark golden dragon. The God of Devils face was solemn, as he felt the heavy pressure for the first time. The huge Anti-Heaven Devil Dragon beamed a wavering dark golden light and shrank to a much smaller size. Ayer of dark golden armor appeared in the air. The God of Devils stepped out and the armor turned to ck and was shining brightly and covered his body quietly. The dark golden armor was even more elegant than Long Haochens Armor of Eternity. A dark blue diamond was in the center of the ck headband, which also had lightning inside. The God of Devils ck hair was tied at top and a neck guard protected his pure white neck. The pauldrons were in the shape of dragon wings and pointed high above. In his chest, a huge dark blue diamondy in the center. On the two sides of the waist, ck thorns pointed and shone with a dark golden light. The thorns spiraled downwards, bing the war gown of the God of Devils. His legs were protected by dragon scales. The dragon wings covered at the two sides of his legs, pointing upwards. He did not have wings but instead had a huge dark blue cape dropping down from the pauldrons, covering his long figure. A huge sword appeared at his back and it was even bigger than the God of Devils body. Its length exceeded two meters and the sword hilt was one meter long with a sword width of one meter. The sword had no decorations at all. But it was not a simple sword, not when it was on the God of Devils back. Confronted with thest strike of the Three Swords of Eternity, the God of Devils used Devil Deification, brought by the Anti-Heavenly Devil Pir. And when the armor covered his body, Long Haochen and all those who fought on the ground felt as if a pair of scary eyes were staring at them. The God of Devils did not use the sword and when the armor covered his body, his eyes, as well as the diamond in his chest and forehead, shone with a dark blue light. He lifted up his right hand and Long Haochen found out that in the center of God of Devils handguard was a blue diamond. The diamond shone brightly and starting from the palm, a light cover of dark blue and dark gold appeared. In the shape of a half-ball, it protected the God of Devils body in the front. Boom! The sky turned white and the strong power of the stars even made the Holy Knight of Starry Sky startled and he looked up. His own domain of stars was boosted and killed a Moon Devil of rank nine instantly. The sky of white light shocked all Devils and their morale declined. Even the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God looked up at the sky after pushing their opponents far away. Chapter 844 - Awakens! The Sealed Divine Throne Of Eternity And Creation (I)

Chapter 844: Awakens! The Sealed Divine Throne Of Eternity And Creation (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The power full of stars and light obviously did not belong to the God of Devils! And the whole sky had turned white, which could only prove that the power of Long Haochen had the absolute upper hand at this moment. The incandescent color in the skysted for a minute, during which the strong humansunched a counterattack with all their strength to suppress the dominant Devils. There were even seven ninth-level Devils who had fallen in this powerful human counterattack. The white gradually faded, and high up in the air, Long Haochen and the God of Devils reappeared. The glittering white light faded slowly. Long Haochen gasped a little, and the Heart of Eternity beat violently, helping him restore a great deal of consumed spiritual power. At the same time, it was also a step further to enhance the power that he could explode at this time. However, there was a hint of horror in his eyes. Long Haochen could not help but be appalled. When he confronted the God of Devils in domain, he had already figured out the tactics. In the confrontation of domain, he had indeed done his best, and he realized that he was really not the opponent of the God of Devils.. However, at thest critical moment, Long Haochen reversed the situation through the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The ability to turn the ck hole attack to the opposite direction in that moment came from the Eternal Angels control of the sky and stars. And when the God of Devils had to let the Devil Dragon Guards fight the power of the ck hole, it was clearly his weakest moment, and Long Haochen also casted thest strike of the three Swords of Eternity, the Eternal Star. If he were to seed at something, it was that he sessfully forced out the demonization of the God of Devils, and finally saw the assistance of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir for the God of Devils, which increased his level. But he also saw how terrifying the God of Devils was in aplete state. The power of Eternal Stars was the strongest attack he had ever made. The thousands of stars were fixed at one point and released with the Sword of Eternity. The horror of this power was enough to change the color of Heaven and Earth. However, the God of Devils only raised one hand. He didnt even use the giant sword behind him. The light of Eternal Stars did upy the whole sky, but only the area where the God of Devils was located was not affected. Even the ck gold dragon that converged the ck hole disappeared quietly before the arrival of the Eternal Stars, as if it directly integrated into the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Armor. Lifting his right hand slowly down, the God of Devils nodded to Long Haochen with a serious face and said, You shocked me again. Unexpectedly, the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation is so powerful. It is worthy of the existence of an Imperial Weapon. Unfortunately, you are not strong enough to give full y to its power. Otherwise, it may really have the power to fight me. But right now, you cant. As he spoke, the God of Devils suddenly moved, and his aura disappearedpletely in the powerful perception of Long Haochen at the moment his body started. And when he appeared at that moment, he had alreadye to Long Haochens side, the index finger of his right hand pointed directly to the Divine Stone of Eternity on Long Haochens chest. Melee? Long Haochensbat experience was also extremely rich. In the face of the sudden attack of the God of Devils, his body moved slightly sideways, at the same time, the left hand released the Sword of King, while his palm grabbed the God of Devils right index finger quickly like lightning. In such a close battle, the length of the weapon could only be an obstacle, and the intensity of the collision between the two sides was by no means inferior to that with a Divine Weapon. What was more, the Sword of King released by Long Haochen instantly turned 360 degrees in the air, and the sword shone with all kinds of colors and severely chopped into the neck of the God of Devils. The God of Devils did not dodge. He let Long Haochen grab the index finger of his right hand and let Long Yatings Sword of King chop his neck guard. When the both of them came into contact, Long Haochen suddenly felt that the God of Devils seemed to be twisted. Then his index finger burst into a terrifying force. Just for a moment, Long Haochen felt that his left hand waspletely paralyzed, and the feeling of paralysis spread all over his body along the palm of his hand. The Eternal Armor had fully filtered this power, but his body was still temporarily paralyzed. Then, under the grip of Long Haochen, the finger of the God of Devils was still on the Divine Stone of Eternity on his chest. There was no sound, but it looked even scarier. It was because ayer of ck instantly invaded the Divine Stone of Eternity, driving away the dark green produced by the beating Heart of Eternity. This ck also spread to the whole body of the Eternal Armor of Long Haochen in an instant along with the Divine Stone of Eternity. As for Yatings sword, at the moment of standing on the neck guard of the God of Devils, a low and even some hoarse sound of the dragon suddenly sounded from the ck giant sword behind the God of Devils. Then, a huge suction unexpectedly pulled Yatings giant sword close and it was tightly glued to the ck giant sword. A trace of ck air gathered from the giant sword, rigidly imprisoned Yating on the ck swords body. What was even more frightening was that the body of the ck sword began to show signs of melting, and Yatings Sword of King slowly integrated into its body, and it looked as if the ck sword was going to swallow Yating up. However, at this time, Long Haochen could not help Yating at all. He only felt that his body waspletely paralyzed. At the same time, there was an indescribable coldness spreading to his body. Even his left hand that was holding the God of Devils index finger unknowingly loosened and slipped. The Divine Stone of Eternity hadpletely turned ck, and they looked at each other very close. In the eyes of the God of Devils, there was a release of cruelty and coldness, but also a determination. The dark golden light on his body did not turn pitch ck, and only the two dark blue gems on his forehead and chest retained their original luster. Do you think that with the recognition of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, you will be able topete with me? No, youre wrong. Although your practice level is not weak,pared with me, it is not at all the same level. Im already a demigod. With the help of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, I am a real god. The Imperial Weapon is called the weapon of God, but in fact, it is an Imperial Weapon only if it is in the hands of a real god. And you are not qualified to have them. I will deprive the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation from you and separate it from your body. Although I cannotpletely destroy an Imperial Weapon with my power, I can send it into the turbulence of time and space and let it wander to another world. Do you feel the coldness? This is the attack of darkness on you. No matter how pure your light is, light will still be covered by absolute darkness. But dont worry, I wont let you die. When I turn your light into darkness. The Goddess of Nature will also be in my bag. And your memory will be erased by me and you will be a Devil again. I will still support you to be my heir, or even the heir of this Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir. And a new you will take the ce of me, as the ruler of the continent, and thepanions and human beings you are familiar with. With these words, the look of the God of Devils gradually became more and more ferocious, and his eyes became more and more crazy in the coldness. The entire breastte had be ck. And the cold feeling was frantically stimting Long Haochens body, and even the beating of the Heart of Eternity seemed to have stopped at this moment. The power of God Is this really the power of God? The persistence in Long Haochens heart did not make him despair, but fully mobilized all his strength to try to resist. However, the strength of the God of Devils was too strong. The Anti-Heavenly Dragons Armor hadpletely gained the upper hand over the Eternal Armor. The diamond-shaped jewel shining dark blue on the God of Devils chest seemed tough at the Eternal Armor and its choice of the wrong heir. And the aura of Long Haochen was getting weaker and weaker under the oppression of the God of Devils. Slowly, Long Haochen closed his eyes. Had he already given up? The God of Devils was stunned slightly. He suddenly found that under the continued attack of his dark power, he seemed to encounter some hindrance, strong and stubborn sides. But he also had an unyielding mind. Whats going on? The eyes of the God of Devils shed a stern look, and behind the ck sword, the swallowing of Yating paused for a moment. The diamond-shaped gemstone on his chest was bright, and a diamond-shaped dark blue lightning struck the Divine Stone of Eternity on Long Haochens chest in an instant. Long Haochens whole body trembled violently. It was the absolute suppression of power. This was the gap in strength. The God of Devils knew that Long Haochen was wearing an Imperial Weapon, but he wanted to peel it off directly from Long Haochen in this way. Once he lost the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Long Haochen would be just amb waiting to be ughtered and could only be disposed of by him. From the beginning to the end, no matter what happened to the God of Devils, he could regain hisposure after a brief shock or anger. This was because he had absolute strength and absolute confidence in his own strength. Every great hero who could dominate the world would have an absolute pride of his own. Electrolux, who imed to be holding the sun and moon to pick the stars, and Feng Xiu, as the God of Devils, also had it. Long Haochens body seemed likely to copse at any moment in the dark blue lights, but it stabilized at the next moment. The trembling stopped, and the spread of ck in the Eternal Armor elerated. But the nine crown jewels on his forehead lit up at the same time. Chapter 845 - Awakens! The Sealed Divine Throne Of Eternity And Creation (II)

Chapter 845: Awakens! The Sealed Divine Throne Of Eternity And Creation (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Nine colors shone, a special smell of dust was released from the Eternal Armor, and the three light balls suspended around Long Haochens body had be stagnant because of the invasion of the God of Devils also seemed to have been instantly endowed with vitality. A huge white light appeared behind Long Haochen, as if to illuminate all the darkness, and when it appeared, an indescribable pressure pounded on the God of Devils. With the practice level of the God of Devils, he trembled violently in the face of this pressure, and his eyes showed a look of horror and fear. The next moment, the three light balls around Long Haochens body appeared behind him in the form of three figures at the same time. Ahead was Eastons King, then the Sacred Dragon, and finally the Eternal Angel. The strength of the three-strong people progressed step by step, and finally imprinted on the back of Long Haochen. All of a sudden, on the Eternal Armor, the glittering white light bloomed, and the ck spread in front of Long Haochen converged to the center at an astonishing speed. Then the Divine Stone of Eternity lit up. The majesty brought by the huge mass of light behind Long Haochen was instantly assimted by the Divine Stone of Eternity. . A glittering white light burst out in an instant, hitting the diamond-shaped gemstone on the chest position of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Armor. It was like the Divine Stone of Eternitys response to the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Armor with disdain and ridicule. sted by this white light, the God of Devils spread ayer of glittering white light all over his body, and his body exploded and retreated a kilometer away in an instant. Even Yating, who was swallowed on the ck sword behind him, was shaken out at this moment and turned into a golden light and then returned to Long Haochens side. Long Haochens eyes were still closed, but Long Yating seemed to feel his will. A golden light shed to the battlefield below, and she no longer Long Haochens weapon. The Sword of Eternity floated slowly in front of Long Haochen, and the light of the Divine Stone of Eternity on Long Haochens chest after it shook away the God of Devils, it was concentrated on the Sword of Eternity. The glittering and translucent glow made the Sword of Eternity radiate brilliance, and the nine colors shone one by one. At the same time, the body of the sword became also slightlyrger, the lines became smoother and refined, and the nine colors were gradually embedded. A strange luster shone on the sword, and nine runes emerged from the sword one after another, representing water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, ice, thunder and space. Nine attributes. There were also nine colors. The imprint of each of the nine symbols made the aura of the Sword of Eternity itself thicker and heavier. When thest symbol was imprinted. The Sword of Eternity turned in the air and turned into an upward hilt. And the whole sword was alsopletely embedded in the majesty that the God of Devils was afraid of. From this moment on, it was no longer the Sword of Eternity, but the Sword of Eternity and Creation. The sword itself alone was also an Imperial Weapon. Compared with the change of the Sword of Eternity, the change of the Eternal Armor on Long Haochen was more obvious. The first thing that appeared around his body was the strong aura of life, and the soft power of life turned into a turquoise luster around his body into forests, shrubs, mountains and rivers, and all kinds of natural scenes shed one by one. Finally, it all turned into green light and melted into the Divine Stone of Eternity. Then there was the dazzling twinkle of colorful light, which turned into the spirit of beasts and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Thousands of creatures hovered quietly around his body. In the end, all the previous phantoms disappeared, and the sky waspletely upied by stars, and thousands of starlight were concentrated on Long Haochen, and when they appeared, the previously majestic light behind him turned into a round of white light. In the whole process of change, the Eternal Armor began to be more and moreplicated, countless magnificent patterns reced the original softness, andyers of folds were disyed in the most perfect state. In particr, the Sacred Dragon and Eternal Angel sculptures on the left and right shoulder armor of Long Haochen were just like their real bodies. And when thest white light ring froze in the air, the figure of the three-strong people of Eternity also disappeared, thoroughly integrated into the Eternal Armor. The original three light groups around Long Haochen alsopletely disappeared. The God of Devils was shocked to watch this scene in front of him in the distance, and his fear exerted such a strong pressure on his spirit that he forgot to attack when he saw the whole process of Long Haochens changes. This was clearly the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation originally controlled by Long Haochen did not seem to be the true face of this Imperial Weapon. And when it was fully awakened along with that creative majesty, the God of Devils iparably firm confidence was shaken for the first time. The Eternal Armor and the Sword of Eternity had been transformed into the Sword of Eternity and Creation and the Armor of Eternity and Creation in the process of thorough awakening. This was the true power of the Imperial Weapon left by Genesis. No matter how strong the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir was, it couldnt bepared to the miracles left by the God of Creation. The three groups of light originally surrounding Long Haochen was not yet the ability left to Long Haochen by this Sealed Divine Throne, and only until this moment were they fully integrated with him. Under the strong oppression of the God of Devils, the remnant of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was finally enraged, and finally triggered the real fusion between it and Long Haochen, so that the power of the Imperial Weapon was fully awakened. At this moment, Long Haochens aura of confrontation with the God of Devils finally appeared. It had also be an important turning point in their battle. The panic in the eyes of the God of Devils gradually disappeared, reced by a dignified feeling that the original victory had disappeared. Although he still did not think that Long Haochen could defeat him, he faced Long Haochen squarely for the first time and regarded him as an opponent who couldpete with him. Long Haochens eyes slowly opened, and his eyes were still golden. The moment when his eyes opened, they were surprisingly peaceful and moist. In the whole process of the awakening of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Long Haochens body and mind was also infiltrated by a strange soft force. His body seemed to be nourished by the forces of nature, life and stars in this short period of time. Long Haochen did not know to what extent the psychic power had increased, but for the first time he had the feeling that it was not difficult to fully control this Imperial Weapon. But his inner psychic power was even breaking the realm. Long Haochen did not know the exact amount of spiritual power, but when the spiritual power finally climbed to its peak, he was surprised to find that the spiritual power in his body was no longer golden, but turned into a clear, moist and white color. Level nine of rank nine. Was this the power of level nine of rank nine? Long Haochen believed in his feelings but was equally shocked by the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. When this Imperial Weapon of the Creator was really awakened, it was able to lift his power to level nine of rank nine. And this degree seemed to be the basic requirement to control the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation after its full awakening. Two pairs of eyes faced each other. The God of Devils eyes narrowed slightly. Very good, what an Imperial Weapon with an aura of creation. No wonder the first generation of the God of Devils was badly hit by its outbreak and was killed. At first, I thought its power was nothing more than that. I didnt expect it to help you rise to the point where you canpete with me. But you should feel it, too. What Genesis left on this Imperial Weapon is only a trace of divine thoughts. And the Creator himself no longer exists in this world. Therefore, no matter how powerful this Imperial Weapon is, you are only a human being, not a god, who can control it. But I have already stepped into the realm of God. Just let me see how powerful this Imperial Weapon can be in your hands. As he spoke, the ck sword behind the God of Devils suddenly uttered a sound of dragon humming, and then it turned into a dark light rising into the sky. The giant sword went across the sky, and the dragon pattern of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon emerged on the broad sword. At the moment of its lift-off, the viscous dark force suddenly turned into countless twisted spirals and sticky dark aura converging towards it. And the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Armor of the God of Devils also lit up. The Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir in the distance suddenly disappeared in the same ce. When it appeared again, it had be the back of the God of Devils and turned the whole sky into a ck and golden color. The confrontation between Long Haochen and the God of Devils could still be felt by one or two, although the ordinary humans and devils could not be seen. When the God of Devils Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir disappeared into thin air, the Moon Devil God Agarez, who was fighting Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, and Vashak, the Star Devil God, looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the shock and joy in each others eyes. If anyone were to know the God of Devils best in this world, it must be the two of them. IIt was because they were not only the two Devil Gods of the 72 Pirs of the Devils n, but also the two Devil Gods who were closest to the God of Devils and knew the most about him. The God of Devils not only exerted the deification of the devil, but also really used the power of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir, which meant that the battle between the God of Devils and Long Haochen suffered an unprecedented challenge. Moreover, there were no more powerful energy fluctuations in the air, which meant that the God of Devils did not mobilize his strength to resist the power of Long Haochen. The bnce of strength between the two sides was likely to be in a state of equilibrium. Although it was difficult for the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God to believe that this actually happened, the fact was right in front of them, it was impossible for them not to believe! Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao naturally noticed the change in the mood of the two Devil Gods. After looking at each other, Shu Yongxiao shouted, The God of Devils has been forced to be at a disadvantage by the Chairman and everyone will fight with all their strength! The Union will win! Chapter 846 - Awakens! The Sealed Divine Throne Of Eternity And Creation (III)

Chapter 846: Awakens! The Sealed Divine Throne Of Eternity And Creation (III)

While talking, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo pounced on the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God at the same time, and the two great Devil Gods were losing ground. Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao both knew it in their hearts. In terms of practice level, theirs might not be much different from the Moon Devil God and the Star Devil God, regardless of their identity and the growth of the Devil Pir. From the beginning of the battle, Agarez, the Moon Devil God, and Vasak, the Star Devil God, were trying to lose, and Long Haochen gave them a hint before the battle began. In addition to the God of Devils, the two most powerful Devil Gods tried to lose on purpose! Otherwise, the scene would not be like this. Even the Moon Devils and Star Devils in the Devil Dragons race had never gone all out to fight. Otherwise, why would it be in equilibrium with the Temple Union all the time? The Moon Devil God Agarez had a different mind, thus creating an organization that belonged to the hybrid of men and Devils, while the Star Devil God Vashak was loyal to the God of Devils until the God of Devils turned his anger on him and made him perform the prophecy of life. Vashak became desperate. Agarezs concern for him and the only person willing to stand out for him at that time naturally brought the close rtionship between the two Devil Gods closer. With the power of Agarez and Vashak, if they eachmanded their respective races together, then even the God of Devils would have to weigh a few points. These two Devil Gods yed an important role in the Devils n. After many discussions, Agarez and Vashak reached an agreement. Of course, they would not turn against God of Devils openly. They knew too well how terrifying the power of the God of Devils was. If the Devil won, then they would die. The final strategy of the two Devil Gods was very simple: to fully support the Temple Federation in intelligence, while helping the Temple Federation to deceive the God of Devils and create advantages and opportunities for mankind as much as possible. But they themselves would not take the initiative to turn against the water. In this critical battle, their people would make rtive efforts, especially their confidants, would be able to carry out their will perfectly on the battlefield. And then they would wait and see. They would wait and see if humans really have the power to defeat the God of Devils. Only when humans defeated the God of Devils would they have the possibility of real rebellion. Vashak was discouraged, as the great prophet of the Devils n, but he also had 1/4 human blood in his body. This also became the key that Agarez persuaded him. The life in the Devils n was extremely boring, there was no creation, only destruction. Agarez told Vashak that this God of Devils could still keep hisplete rule over mankind. But what about the next generation of Devils? If Po was allowed to inherit the position of the God of Devils, he wouldnt wait to wage a devastating war against mankind. And once human beings do not even have their own country, coupled with the oppression of the Devils n, it might not take many years for them to eventually go to extinction. If they lost their own country, they would gradually lose their human culture, be assimted by the Devils n, and human creativity would be gradually destroyed. The Devils n, a race that couldnt create and produce at all, would eventually perish after theplete extinction of mankind. Feng Xiu was definitely the best and most powerful one in all dynasties, but unfortunately, the biggest problem he faced was that he had no sessors. Pos w was not only known by Feng Xiu, but also by the other top Devil Gods. If Feng Xiu could support Po for hundreds of years, he might still be able to hold down his position, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to suppress both Agarez and Vashak. Just as Feng Xiu was the best God of Devils in the history of the Devil, Agarez was also the best and most powerful Moon Devil God in the history of Devils! With the practice level of level nine of rank eight, the powerful Moon Devils Pir, even Feng Xiu was also a bit afraid of him, and Agarez had never shown all his strength. Agarez knew precisely that todays Devils n could be said to be the transformation of various races from the Holy Demon Land. After the arrival of the first generation of Devils, which one of them was not the offspring of intercourse with humans or infected creatures in the world? Even the God of Devils Feng Xiu had certain human genes, which made him better. At that time, the birth of the 72-Pir Devil Gods was just a weapon, an iparably powerful weapon in their original world. They had the soul and wisdom, but they did not really exist as creatures. It was precisely because of the gene injection of humans and various races in the Holy Demon Land that there was now the Devils n. Therefore, Agarez always believed that he was not a Devil, but a person with special powers. Therefore, he urgently hoped that his descendants could really be human beings in the future, rather than passing on the Devils. In his mind, there were only two possibilities for the future development of the world. All the races on the maind would perish and eventually be a desert. Or, it was mankind to reunify the continent, re-develop, and make the continent prosperous. It was obviously thetter that Agarez wanted it to be. Because of this, Agarez spared no effort to set up an organization to absorb those Devils who had strong human lineage and aspire to be human. However, Agarezs patience was also greater than that of anyone, as long as Long Haochen had not defeated the God of Devils, he would neverunch in an all-round way. He knew the God of Devils too well, and he could deeply feel the God of Devils terrifying strength. Below the divine level, Agarez still had the strength to fight. But after Feng Xiu broke through the limit of one million psychic powers a few years ago, although he also suffered great pressure and pain, his strength, as he said to Long Haochen, hadpletely reached another level. Therefore, on the battlefield, Agarez and Vashak did notmand the strong men of other Devil Gods and Devils ns, and they themselves deliberately tried to lose. Although the practice levels of Yongxiao and Xiao Huo were not weak, there was a slight gap between them and those Devil Gods who have not yet used the Devils Deification. Agarez and Vashak did more in the battle to free up their hands to save their own race from time to time. As for the Devil Dragons, the strong Devils and Devil Gods of other races, they didnt even care. This led to a strange phenomenon. Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon, as thergest race of Devils, the number of casualties was even higher than that of Moon Devils and Star Devils. The first person who responded to the sound of Yongxiaos counterattack was Lin Xin, who had been confronted with the Angel Devil God Baimen for a long time, and neither side did their best. The sudden shout of Shu Yongxiao aroused Lin Xin in an instant. However, the target of his attack was not the Angel Devil God. The Holy Sun hanging above Lin Xins head suddenly went out without warning. A silver light that was not strong shone on him, and he disappeared in an instant. The Angel Devil God Baimen only felt that the pressure was empty, and his opponent could not be seen out of thin air, which immediately made him dull for a moment. Lin Xin is clearly a fire wizard, how can he use space magic again? If thats the case, why didnt he use it in the previous battle? This thought came into Baimens mind at once. Baimen was stupefied by this sudden change, but the situation of a small-scale battle changed dramatically because of Lin Xins disappearance. Like Lin Xin, the silver glint on his body was Caier, and the next moment, Lin Xin appeared by her side. The Domain of Blink. Long Haochen wanted to fight the God of Devils and leaving the Domain of Blink had no effect on his body. And this powerful equipment, which was more suitable for the battlefield, was obviously more appropriate to be used by Caier. Apart from Long Haochen, Caiers practice level was the highest in the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. Caier cooperated with the Twelve Sacred Saints to besiege Sidi, the Love Devil God, Brice, the Rhythm Devil God, and Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God. In the case of Aliges use of Devils deification alone, Caier still had an advantage with the help of the domain of purification and the Tower of Eternity to the Twelve Sacred Saints. Lin Xins appearance was extremely sudden, and without warning. He was obviously ready a long time ago, and as soon as he appeared, the sun shone brightly and wide above his head, and then ayer of golden glow burned from the praise of the brilliant sacred me on him, which was an additional skill, the Glory Praise, of the immortal magic robe. The Fire of Immortal Dragon was held high, and with a loud roar of the dragon, a huge golden red bibcock emerged from the Holy Sun. And its color was instantly transformed into blue and gold under the action of the Heart Fire. The dragon head struggled, and unexpectedly broke free from the Holy Sun. At the same time, between Lin Xins chest and abdomen, there was another loud sound of the Phoenix. The blue fire Phoenix swayed and flew away with the brilliance of blue and gold. A dragon and a Phoenix, instantly entangled in the air, condensed in front of Lin Xin into a huge blue beam of light. The target was the Devil-deified Snake Gun Devil God Alige. While Lin Xin started to take action, Caier also moved. The Twelve Sacred Saintsbined at full speed, and the two six-colored hexagram stars took shape in an instant. As soon as Caier shed, she reached the core position of the Legal array. The Love Devil God Sidi and the Rhythm Devil God Brice were all shrouded in countless shadows from the Sickle of Death in her hands. The Seven Steps of Death. Not only that, Caier was obviously ready to cooperate with the offensiveunched by Lin Xins arrival. A white lotus flower quietly flew out, just before Lin Xin arrived, andnded in front of Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God. Alige was three meters tall, with majestic muscles naked in his upper body, and the long gun in his hand was transformed by a giant snake. After the Devils Deification, he grew six tongues behind him, which were ready to attack at any time. The dark atmosphere was domineering. Thebat effectiveness was extremely strong. And each snakehead contained a different kind of poison. Even if one smelled a little, one would be deeply affected, so much so that Caier did not approach him to attack. However, now he had to face the strongest attack that Lin Xin had nned for a long time. Chapter 847 - Dragon And Phoenix Vulcans Pillar (I)

Chapter 847: Dragon And Phoenix Vulcans Pir (I)

Lin Xins sudden appearance and almost instant magic startled Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God. However, as the 15th Devil God, he also had confidence in his own strength. Although he had been deified, he still had not used all his strength in previous battles. The dragon and phoenix hoveringposed of the blue pir of light released by Lin Xin did not have any energy overflow, more like a pir of me. It must be quite powerful, but Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God, did not think that such a pir of me could kill him. Moreover, he had a good rtionship with the Love Devil God and the Rhythm Devi God. The two Devil Gods were not nearly as good at melee as he was, and the trio cooperated together to fight with Caier. If something happened to him, Sidi, the Love Devil God, and Brice, the Rhythm Devil God, wouldnt be happy. So, he believed that the two Devil Gods would help him. Six snakeheads came out at the same time, and the snake gun in Brices hand was instantly transformed into seven shadows in front of him. But it was at this time that the lotus flower thrown by Caier arrived. The lotus flower in its prime appeared so cleverly that it exploded right in the middle of the seven snakeheads. That was Caiers domains skill! The power of the lotus flower was fully proved when Caier used it for the first time. The powerful power overshadowed the top echelons of the Assassin Temple at that time. At this time, it was only aimed at an opponent, and its power was shown in an all-round way. Countless white petals burst in an instant, entangling all seven snakeheads. Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God, only felt an indescribable burning sensation spread all over his body in an instant. In the scream, one of the seven snakeheads burst, and a mass of fuchsia blood instantly expanded into a fuchsia glow in the air. He was trying to dispel the purifying power of the lotus in its heyday. But also, at this time, Lin Xins attack had arrived. Sidi, the Love Devil God, and Brice, the Rhythm Devil God, wanted to save Alige. But they couldnt do it at that moment. The instant formation of the Twelve Sacred Saints dramatically increased the speed at which Caier purified the aura of death in the air into the power of purification. The Sickle of Death instantly unfolded the sixth steps, the Path of Death. The Path of Death was the integration of the first five steps, and under the full exertion of Caier, the speed and the horror of attack were so fast that even Samigina, the Undead Devil God, had to avoid its edge. Sidi and Brice didnt even have time to deify it, so they had to do their best to resist it. Ones own life was always more important than that of others. How could they care about Alige now? They did not expect that the outbreak of Caiers full strength would be so horrifying. The role of the Moon Devil God Agarez in blocking news had once again exerted an imperceptible influence on the battlefield. They still didnt know that Samigina, the Undead Devil God, died at the hands of Caier, otherwise, they wouldnt dare to remain undeified before. Boom The moans and cries of the dragon and phoenix broke out at the same time. When Alige was hit by the huge blue pir of fire in front of him, he realized how wrong he was. The horror of the power of this blow had gone far beyond his understanding of the me. There was also a powerful power of light in that terrifying hot me. And the explosive power of this blow was so terrifying that he could not resist it even in his heyday, not to mention being attacked by the lotus flower. Under the intense burning, the other six snakeheads of Alige exploded at about the same time. The rich fuchsia blood tried to turn into a barrier to save his life. Unfortunately, he realized toote. If he had not hesitated to use Devils Disintegration Method just now, he might still have a chance to save his life. Unfortunately, when he waspletely hit head-on by this blow, even if he wanted to teleport away with the power of the Devil pir, he could no longer do it. The moment the six tongues were broken, the dirty snake blood disappeared instantly under the purification of the Heart Fire and the Glory Praise. And Aliges body waspletely swallowed up and vaporized immediately. Even his crown of Devils lost the power to escape in this terrifying blue me and went to Lin Xin with the return of the fiery phoenix. However, Lin Xin, whounched the blow, was obviously very ufortable, pale, and frightening. He shook his body in the air and nearly fell from the air. However, he finally achieved his goal, and in this battle, he finally killed a Devil God, and what was more, that Devil God ranked 15th. On the other hand, the Angel Devil God Baimen, who was left behind by Lin Xin, finally reacted. The body shed and chased towards this battlefield. He was trying to kill Lin Xin while he was in a weak state. Lin Xin quickly threw a few elixirs into his mouth. The body fire reappeared, the Holy Sun above his head once again gave out a cry of dragon, and a huge dragon head drilled out, and the chest was also loud and clear. The Angel Devil God Baimen was one of the top ten Devil Gods, but he thought to himself that his practice level was not much stronger than Alige. Alige was killed by this blow. How could he face this attack head on? Baimen stopped flying in an instant. The whole person was stuck in mid-air, and the attack magic that was just about to be casted turned into defensive magic, due to fear of being killed by Lin Xins all-out attack. Lin Xin smiled, while moans and cry were still there, he didnt do anything about it. As a matter of fact, it was impossible for him tounch that kind of attack twice in a row! The dragon was his domains skill, the Dragon of the Holy Sun. With the increase of the light attribute of Glory Praise, the power couldnt be imagined. Moreover, with Lin Xins ingenuity, hebined his domains skills with the power of the blue fire phoenix furnace, which produced the effect of geometric multiple increase. However, Lin Xin was strong enough in magic control with imagination, and at the same time there were two pieces of immortal equipment to assist. This enabled him to sessfully develop this super blow, and it was also a blow that could drain almost all his strength. Lin Xin named this skill the Dragon and Phoenix Vulcans Pir. It was one of the most powerful skills he could exert so far. The horror of the power of this attack could even bepared with Caiers Path of Death in some ways. Only in this way could they seed in one fell swoop and kill the 15th Snake Gun Devil God Alige. Of course, Baimen could not have been intimidated by Lin Xin all the time. After just a few breaths, he knew that he had been taken in. But by the time he wanted to turn defense into attack, it was toote. It was because Sidi, the Love Devil God, and Brice, the Rhythm Devil God, were both struggling. Caiers attack was like a storm. Brice had been hit with the Sickle of Death by Caier. Blood spattered at the same time and his power of resistance was also greatly reduced. In the battlefield, although the number of the dead couldnt bepared with the Southeast Fortress, they were all the top from human and Devils n, and the soul released after their death was much better than ordinary human beings or ordinary Devils. Therefore, the purification power absorbed by Caier was also very huge. Under her all-out attack, Brice and Sidi suffered the most from the fact that it was toote for them to deify. Brice got injured in the left arm, and the horrors of the domain of purification eroded into the wound at a variable speed to the naked eye. It instantly eroded the bones and spread upward at an rming rate. Brice was worthy of his title as Devil God, at the moment of life and death, the strong man made a sacrifice. His weapon was a harp. He quickly pulled a string and forcefully severed his arm by it, and it stopped the spread of the power of purification. With the loss of an arm, the impact onbat effectiveness got obviously affected. Brice and Sidi both ranked extremely high, twelfth and thirteenth respectively. If both of them died as well, Caier could then focus on other things. The impact on the war situation could be imagined. If the lips are lost, the teeth will be cold. Although the Angel Devil God Baimen wanted to kill Lin Xin very much, it was toote in time. As a result, he could only deify himself quickly and turned the attack to Caier at the same time. Caier quitted while she was ahead. As soon as her attack ended abruptly, the Tower of Eternity flew out, sealing all three Devil Gods. Herself, under the protection of the Twelve Sacred Saints, quickly absorbed the power of purification to supplement her previous consumption. She was already familiar with the way to seal the Tower of Eternity. In such a short time, she and Lin Xin worked together to kill a Devil God. Caier gave Lin Xin a thumb up, and Lin Xin also responded with his left thumb, then quickly flew out of the battlefield and returned to Yu Longguan to rest. With his own elixir and domain-level strength, it wouldnt take long for him to return to his peak state, and when he could help Caier again, the situation would be different. Caier did not trap the three Devil Gods for too long. The Tower of Eternity shone brightly, and it was another sh of silver light that turned into light and shadow beside Caier, which was exactly Wang Yuanyuan. Wang Yuanyuans previous opponent was Babatos, the Force Devil God. Babatos was powerful and had been fighting with Wang Yuanyuan. In the process of fighting, he had sessively killed a Fine Gold pedestal knight and six Secret Silver pedestal knights. Although Wang Yuanyuan hated him so much that her teeth tickled, there was nothing she could do about it. Whenever she was about to catch up with her opponent, Babatoss attack could always drive her back. The Devil, who ranked eighth, was really astonishing in strength. Just when Babatos felt that Wang Yuanyuans momentum had obviously declined, he was ready tounch a counterattack. Suddenly, with a sh of silver, Wang Yuanyuan disappeared. He also noticed the scene where Alige was killed, but he was far away from the battlefield on Caiers side, and it was toote for Alige to be rescued. At this time, Wang Yuanyuan disappeared again, and instead of being in a daze like the Angel Devil God Baimen, he looked directly at Caier. He was just in time to see the rapid expansion of the Tower of Eternity. Then Wang Yuanyuan appeared beside Caier and disappeared into the Tower of Eternity with Caier in the next moment. Along with them the Twelve Sacred Saints disappeared as well. Chapter 848 - Dragon And Phoenix Vulcans Pillar (II)

Chapter 848: Dragon And Phoenix Vulcans Pir (II)

The wonderful use of the Tower of Eternity was not only to attack and seal, at the same time, being in the Tower of Eternity, the Devil Gods couldnt be connected with the Devil Pir! Long Haochen once used this method to kill Crossell, the Insight Devil God. At this time, Caier was more skillful in using it. Babatos saw Wang Yuanyuan and Caier disappear together, and immediately realized that something was wrong. Brice had been injured, he and Love Devil God Sidi did not deify, so their strength was greatly affected. Although the Angel Devil God Baimen was very strong, he ranked ninth. However, like Sidi, the Love Devil God, and Brice, the Rhythm Devil God, he was a god of magic, so he was much weaker at melee. On the other hand, Caier and Wang Yuanyuan were both strong in closebat, especially Caier, who was as fast as lightning and now they were all in her territory, assisted by twelve ninth-level Sacred Saints. The situation of the three trapped Devil Gods could be imagined. If Caier was allowed to seed, the Devil Gods who ranked 9th, 12th and 13th would all be killed, which could be said to affect the whole war situation. There were only 20 Devil Gods here, and they killed the top four. Babatos knew that he could no longer reserve his strength. He was a loyal servant of the God of Devils and always took the will of the God of Devils as his suprememand. At this time, he did not attack others, but quickly rose into the higher air to deify. A huge light shadow appeared behind Babatos. It was a huge lion, but the lion had three heads, with the lions head in the center, the leopards head on the left and the tigers head on the right. Three heads roared at the same time. Babatos, the Force Devil God, melted into this great light and shadow. Light and shadow converged, a gorgeous armor covered the whole body, which emitted a dark golden luster. The most striking was the relief of the leopard head, lion head, and tiger head on his chest. Babatos slowly pulled the longbow, and the power of terror climbed to the extreme in an instant, and the three heads on his chest turned to three long arrows, all bursting with a strong dark golden luster. The goal was aimed at the Tower of Eternity. At this time, suddenly, there was a scream in the air, and Babatos heart lost a beat, but he must not stop at this time, or all his previous efforts would be in vain. Babatos let out a roar, and the shadows that had appeared before surfaced again, and at the same time, his body moved forcefully. There was a strong roar from the pir of Force in the distance. A colorful light shed by in an instant, failing to hit Babatoss body, and it was Ye Sanmi, who also had a magic bow in his hand. At the same time, Babatos loosened his fingers and three long dark golden arrows flew straight to the Tower of Eternity. In the course of flight, each of the three arrows transformed into a leopard head, a lion head and a tiger head. By the time they hit the Tower of Eternity, they had all be ten meters in diameter. In the midst of three loud roars, the Tower of Eternity was bombarded from the ground and flew up forcefully. While the white light shone, there were actuallyrge cracks on one side. Although these cracks were rapidly mending and healing, there was also a dark golden luster in the crack to prevent it from recovering. Babatos, the Force Devil God, once again equipped the longbow. In a sh of light, Caier, Wang Yuanyuan and the three previously trapped Devil Gods appeared at the same time. Babatoss rescue was absolutely timely. Caier and Wang Yuanyuan together with the Twelve Sacred Saints, in the face of the undeified Love Devil God and Rhythm Devil God, they upied the absolute upper hand. Unfortunately, time did not allow them to kill the three Devil Gods, and the Tower of Eternity was already at stake. The Tower of Eternity was the only relic left to Caier by Electrolux, the Deathly Hallows and the scourge of the undead, and of course she couldnt let it be destroyed. What was more, the Tower of Eternity also carried the Twelve Sacred Saints, if it was really destroyed, the Twelve Sacred Saints would all perish. In desperation, Caier had to send out Wang Yuanyuan along with the others. Sidi, the Love Devil God, and Brice, the Rhythm Devil God, no longer dared to snub, and instantlypleted their respective deification, giving themselves time to catch their breath at the same time. Led by the Angel Devil God Baimen, theyunched an attack at Caier at the same time. Wang Yuanyuan and Caier looked at each other, flickered, and pounced on Babatos again. The killing intention in her eyes had be extremely thick. There were two tactical changes: one seeded and one failed, but they finally killed a Devil God. After a short rest, Lin Xin also set foot on the battlefield again, and he appeared directly behind Wang Yuanyuan. They formed the bestbination of warriors and wizards. Babatos, the Force Devil God, was in double battles. At the same time as the Light Dawn Demon Hunter groupunched attacks, the Eternal Heroes and the mighty temples also went all out to attack. The God of Devils Anti-Heavenly Dragons Pir suddenly disappeared, and everyone could have guessed that the God of Devils had exerted his deification and confronted Long Haochen with the help of the power of the devil pir. Their confidence was naturally greatly enhanced. On the other hand, the momentum of the Devils n had been greatly affected. The originally stable situation became much more intense with the outbreak of the Temple Confederate strongmen. While Caier made two tactical shots one after another, five Anti-Heavenly Dragons had fallen one after another. Two Moon Devils and one Star Devil fell. On the humans side, four Eternal Heroes were killed. The Eternal Heroes not only yed a decisive role in this battle, but also took the lead. Often when other strong men of the Temple Federation were in danger, the Eternal Heroes always stood up and even used the fire of their souls to extinguish the attack of the enemy. However, they did not die in vain, almost every Eternal Hero perished with at least one of the enemys ninth-level strong men. The Devils n had more than a thousand eighth-level strong ones, and now there were less than half of them left. There were about four hundred remaining. But on the humans side, the power of Mo Dao Cannons had also been greatly reduced. In the case of full-load running jets, there were more than 1/3 Mo Dao Cannons going broken. On the other hand, the strong human beings who operated them never seemed to think about the danger that overrunning the Mo Dao Cannons might bring to them. There was a sixth-level knight that controlled the Mo Dao Cannon andunched with all-out force, which killed an eighth-level strong one of the Devils n. The Mo Dao Cannon was overheated. The knight unexpectedly spread his psychic powers all over his body, and while beckoning hispanions to continue to fire, he fitted and hugged the barrel of the Mo Dao Cannon. He used his psychic powers to lower the temperature. In the end, his body was scorched by the Mo Dao Cannon, but the Mo Dao Cannon was able to be fired again. Stimted by his self-sacrifice, the gunner who seeded him attacked equally urately and killed an eighth-level devil again. At this time, the Mo Dao Cannon finally could not bear the high temperature or the high pressure and exploded. While a hole was blown in the thick wall of Yu Longguan, the explosion killed the gunner and the personnel who were ready to rece him. A total of six knights died bravely. They, with their lives and chivalry, defended the dignity of Yu Longguan. They defended the future of mankind. They were all real heroes. The same thing happened in almost every st hole of the Mo Dao Cannons. The more powerful the magic crystal was used, the more likely it was that the Mo Dao Cannon would blow up during continuous firing. It was especially the case for the super Mo Dao Cannon, filled with the crown of Samigina as energy. Although it did not blow up because of the precious material, when it wasunched, there would be unparalleled heat around it. And itsunch must be calibrated by someone in order to y the greatest role. This super Mo Dao Cannon had exploded four times, and it took four strong human beings at a time to calibrate it. At least one wizard was needed. At the firstunch, if the gunners at that time did not know what was wrong with it, then what would happen with the next three fires? Before walking towards the super Mo Dao Cannon, the gunner in charge of the second round calmly tore their clothes, bit through his fingertips and wrote a few words with their blood, asking the brothers behind to pass them to their families. Their blood letters were very simple. The main gunner wrote, Wife, tell our son that his father fired a cannon for the sake of mankind. The wizard wrote, Donate all my property to the Magic Temple. The two deputy gunners wrote, I love you, baby girl and Kids, dad was a hero. Leaving blood letters, the four entered theunch module without hesitation. The super Mo Dao Cannon broke out again, killing an Anti-Heavenly Dragon. And these four heroes made the same heroic sacrifice. The meaning of their death was no different from that of Eternal Heroes and the ninth-level strong flying out there. They were all heroes, strong or weak. Go deep into the mountain, knowing that there are tigers there. They knew full well that they were bound to die, but they were too duty-bound to look back. Every strong man of the Temple Union was fighting for the survival of mankind with their own blood and theirst strength. Their deaths were as heavy as mountains. After this war that determined the life and death of mankind, Yu Longguan had surpassed the Southeast Fortress and Wan Shouguan. Its name was changed to Hero Guan. At the same time, at each of the three fortresses heroic monuments were built to praise the heroes who gave their lives for the future of mankind on the battlefield. Hiss A shrill hiss came from a corner of the battlefield, and a tall figure whirled in the air for a while, and then was smashed to the ground below. A dark green figure chased after him like a ghost, and because of the speed, his body lookedpletely illusory. But in the process of the fall of the body, there were a series of cracks in the open space behind it. The figure that fell from the air was Si Maxian, and behind him was Paer, the Lightning Devil God, who ranked 10th in the Devils n. Chapter 849 - Dragon And Phoenix Vulcans Pillar (III)

Chapter 849: Dragon And Phoenix Vulcans Pir (III)

Si Maxians astonishing scar stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist. His heavy armor was almost cut through, and blood was oozing slightly. Moreover, his aura also appeared to be very weak, the original fierce momentum was unexpectedly gone. Only the bald head was still shining. Although his body was chopped downwards by Paer, the Lightning Devil God, he still held the chain of the Big Power Ball of Light tightly in his hand. His body was about to hit the ground. The struggle between the Lightning Devil God Paer and Si Maxian had been going on for a long time. Si Maxian reluctantly withstood Paers attack with lightning by virtue of the power of the purple magic gods heat furnace. But Paer was famous for attacking and domineering among the Devil Gods, and his strength was indeed above Si Maxian. Among the Devil Gods, Paer, the Lightning Devil God, had a very close rtionship with Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God, and could be said to be a close friend. Paer watched Alige die under the attack of Lin Xin, but at that time he waspletely entangled by Si Maxian with the force of lightning, and there was no time to rescue him. Aliges death made Paers eyes be red. He no longer preserved his strength and directly used the Devils Deification. In the strength of theprehensive suppression of Si Maxian and by the virtue of terrorist attack and speed, he finally broke through Si Maxians line of defense and severely cut a sickle on Si Maxians chest. If it hadnt been for the defense of epic armor, Si Maxian would have been cut in two with this knife just now. Paers forelegs were exactly the same as the mantis, and his lower body had four legs and a pair of thin wings on his back. Once unfolded, he could not only fly very fast, but also change direction swiftly in the air. His attack was a bit like the Asura Chopping used by Long Haochen and several strong ones of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. Moreover, he had a sharpness simr to Asura Chopping at every level. Once got hit by this, it would be a heavy blow. The dark green sparkled. If the naked eye could catch it, Paer started from behind his wings, and a strange green was stretching forward at an astonishing speed, not only from the wings, but also from the four legs with the same color. And eventually, these weird greens were concentrated on his forelegs. This was Paers domain, the Po Feng Domain. It showed all the power of destruction, which enhanced the sharpness. He was not only able to enhance his attack in this domain, but also had the ability to break through his opponents domain. It could be said that it was an extremely special but terrifying field. How could he be weak if he could rank in the top ten among the 72 Devil Gods? The death of Aligepletely infuriated Paer, and he would take Si Maxian as the first sacrifice under the attack of his Po Feng domain, killing Si Maxian and then avenge Alige, the Snake Gun Devil God. To be attacked by a fatal blow from the tenth pir of the Devils n, there was no doubt that Si Maxian had been caught in an extreme crisis. However, if Paer was familiar with the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, he should understand that the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group had always cooperated with each other very well. However, why did Caier notunch the domain of blink when Si Maxian faced such a crisis, and the life-sharing effect of soul chains did not appear when he was attacked just now? Unfortunately, Paer was not familiar with this, and he faced a member of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group for the first time on the battlefield. There was no panic in Si Maxians eyes, and the Big Power Ball of Light was held tightly in his hand. With just two breaths after falling from above, he had already hit the ground hard, because the previous attack of Paer was too strong, coupled with the Big Power Ball of Light and his own weight, this unexpectedly made his body all embedded in the ground. And Paer used a pair of mantis knives that broke the seal and fell from the sky, chopping at Si Maxians body with a strange green glow. He was going to tear him into pieces. Just as Si Maxian was about to perish under Paers attack, suddenly a strange scene appeared. A white light suddenly lit up on Si Maxians chest, and the pattern of a white angel quietly appeared in the position of his breastte. There were obvious tears on the beautiful angels face, and a pair of clear eyes seemed to be filled with endless sadness. At the next moment when the angel appeared, a figure quietly appeared in front of Si Maxian. A huge shield also happened to block the Lightning Devil God who fell from the sky. Keng keng The sound of two explosions shook all over the ground. Under the influence of the Po Feng domain and the Devils Deification, the figure was hit away by Paer. However, he also seeded in saving Si Maxian. Paer made the opponent flying away, and himself was also slightly bounced back. He failed to continue to hit Si Maxian who was embedded in the ground. Moreover, when Paer just chopped at his opponents shield, Paer saw two strange images. One was exactly the same sad angel as the one on Si Maxians chest, while the other was a horrifying Vicious Devil. Both images appeared on the shield, each upying half of the area, creating a strange sight of the shield with half white and half ck. He split the knight with the shield, but Paer clearly saw that the image of the Vicious Devil on the shield became illusory, and a shadow seemed to havee out of the shield and fell on him. Because he released an all-out attack at that time, it was impossible for him to stop and dodge, so even if he felt something wrong, he could only bear the attack of the false shadow while striking the opponent. Whats going on? With surprise in his heart, Paer hurriedly urged his psychic power to try to disperse the enemy forces that had invaded his body. However, he immediately realized that it was futile because he did not feel any energy invading himself. Just then, Si Maxian, who had been trapped on the ground, got up. He looked a little embarrassed and dusty, but he grinned while he looked at Paer. He said something to Paer that he didnt understand. This is a battle between angels and the Vicious Devil. While he was talking, the angel on his chest suddenly shone. The sorrowful angel seemed to be alive, and at this very moment, a pattern appeared on Paers chest, which was the fearful Vicious Devil on the previous knights shield. The next moment, Paer and Si Maxian, like the poles of mas, produced a huge suction and rushed to each other in an instant. The strength of that force waspletely beyond their respective practice. It was bad. Paer had judged that it was not good, but, even in a Devil-deified state, he couldnt resist that terrifying suction. He could only watch helplessly as his body crashed into Si Maxian. But Si Maxians body swelled crazily at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, his whole body was shining with thick gold, and he had be a hundred meters high. There was no doubt that it was Han Yu who helped Si Maxian resist that fatal blow. Afterpleting this resistance, as the owner of the Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness, and the Sealed Divine Knight of Destruction and Forgiveness, he did not continue to help Si Maxian fight, but instantly shed back to his original battlefield and continued to resist his previous opponents. Although Paer did not know what strike he just received, he was a little flustered for no reason at this time. The most terrifying thing was the unpredictable situation. But as a Devil God, the 10th strong existence, and in the critical moment, Paer naturally would not show any weakness. If he couldnt dodge, then he would ept it. The Lightning Devil God couldnt y as fast as he usually could, but he still had the scariest attack power. A pair of sickles were raised, and the Po Feng domain burst out again. The light flickered and went straight to Si Maxians heart to cut it in pieces. Paer knew at this time that Si Maxian had not done his best earlier, at least he did not use the domain in front of him. However, no matter how strong his domain was, it was of no use in the face of his own Po Feng domain. It was not possible to counteract the damage by getting bigger. Even if he could set himself up, he still lost his speed advantage. But in the face of aggressive attacks, he was also going to die, and at most he still could attack once in the face of death. In the Devil-deified state, Paer was confident to resist Si Maxians attack. One big and one small, the two figures collided instantly. Si Maxian, who had reached a height of 100 meters, could never bepared with Paer in terms of dexterity. Sure enough, a pair of mantis knives of Paer cut to his chest first. Paers eyes shed with a hint of disdain, not to mention this bald head, even if it was at the level of the Moon Devil God or the Star Devil God, in the face of Po Feng domain of the double knife cut, he was bound to die. Only His Majesty, the God of Devils, might be able to resist. Could Si Maxian stop Paers Po Feng domain? Of course not. The attack of the tenth Devil Pir in the Devils Deification state along with Po Feng domain at the same time was famous for its attack power and its power could enter the top three of the Devils n at this moment. However, there was a major premise. That was, his attack power must be brought into full y, in order for the role of the Po Feng domain to be able to be produced. A pair of mantis knives attached to Po Feng domain seemed to be less than an inch away from Si Maxians chest. Si Maxians external power of light had beenpletely broken, and his chest muscles felt a strong tingling. At a time when it was impossible to process, it was strange for Paer, the Lightning Devil God, but a magical scene for Si Maxian. The fearful Vicious Devil on Paers chest lit up at the same time as the sad angel on Si Maxians chest. When they shone at that moment, the fearful Vicious Devil looked up and let out a long roar with no sound overflowing, while the sad angels eyes were dripping two tears. Two drops were glittering and translucent, as if they contained the purest tears in the world. Chapter 850 - Rhythm Of Fear And Sadness (I)

Chapter 850: Rhythm Of Fear And Sadness (I)

The scary Devils soundless crying appeared on the Lightning Devil God, Paers mind. He felt as if his brain was attacked by thousands of steel needles and he shattered violently. His overwhelming attacking power was greatly influenced and suddenly dropped. And those two drops of angel tears quietly touched Paers Mantis de. From the ce where the tears touched the de, twoyers of white light spread over the whole de. The tears did not stop the de nor did it harm the de But the Po Feng Domain hidden inside the Mantis de and all of Paers negative power and dark aura disappeared as soon as two tears dropped on the de. It could also be said as they were gone at the most critical moment of this battle. Two Mantis des were still inserted into Si Maxians armor in front. Only now did his body swell to a hundred times his original size and his armor also expanded as the domains power was inserted into it. Mantis de, as the Paers most powerful weapon, was still very sharp even without any extra power. However, it did not even reach Si Maxians pectorals. No matter how big Si Maxians body became, if Paer still had the help of Po Feng Domain and other adding strength power, he would be absolutely confident to be able to split this bald guy apart by thrusting the des into his body. But what a shame, the des now though sharp were not powerful. Si Maxians tough face smiled virouciosly. He had been waiting too long for this moment. All the time, he waspletely oppressed by Paer and he endured silently, all for thisst fatal attack to the enemy. Although Han Yu only helped him to block that one attack, this was actually plotted by Si Maxian and Han Yu a long time ago, just like when Caier worked together with Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin. Si Maxians not as fast and flexible as Paer. But he was by no means slow! When Paer inserted his des into Si Maxians body, Si Maxian almost already hadpleted his action. His attack was very aggressive. He wielded the Big Power Ball of Light right into his own chest. Si Maxian did not even care to hit his own body. The scary metal ball that expanded for several times of its own size, was moving towards the chest like a cannon hitting on a mosquito. Si Maxians domain was called the Big Power Ball of Light, a domain weapon just like Long Yating. Although Long Yating could turn herself into a swordpletely, there was not much difference between Si Maxians domain weapon and that of Long Yating. Now the Big Power Ball of Light which turned to domain was hitting with all strength into his own body. It might seem stupid, but in terms of domain, his own body was also a part of the Big Power Ball of Light. This hit could be seen as thebination of the two. How much harm could this do to himself? The sharp scream sounded in Paers brain and the pain it made his body rigid. The moment he attacked Si Maxian, he was greatly influenced by the scream and his own body was absorbed into it. This was all under Si Maxians control. It was done perfectly, which weakened Paerpletely and bought enough time for himself. The Big Power Ball of Light hit Si Maxians chest, who was 100 meters tall and strong. Instantly his whole body shone with golden light but his chest was shiny purple. A mantis crushed down by a mountain, how would that be like? As one of the strongest Devil Gods who was good at attacking, Paer could attack nicely but he could not defend himself very well. Normally when confronted with danger, he would just escape by Devil God Pir, which was not located not far away. However, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter groups members had been in too many battles with Devil God, they were very experienced. Since Si Maxian and Han Yu set this all up, they would not give Paer any chances to escape! The horrible scream lingered on his mind for about three seconds, and Paer was lost in these three secondspletely. If it was another Devil God who was good at magic and had a strong spirit, the time range might not be so long. However, Paer was too ambitious so that he could not do well on some aspects. Therefore he was trapped in itpletely. But no matter how weak he was in defense, he was still one of the top ten Devil Gods, with the protection of Devil Gods Guardian. Therefore, Si Maxians powerful attack by domain weapon hit him hard but did not kill him. Paer was still very much frightened. Under this attack, Paer felt as if his internal organs were crushed by heated iron and what disappointed him most was that his Mantis des were broken under this horrible pressure. Without the Mantis des, he was like a tiger without teeth. Now Paer only wanted to flee away. But the scary scream onlysted for two seconds. Unless he were to get rid of it, he could not even use Devils Disintegration Method. And those who were familiar with Si Maxian all knew that the moment that his Big Power Ball of Light issued the attack, it was just the very beginning of the battle. Si Maxian gave his attack without any reservations. He knew clearly who the enemy was and if he gave time to Paer, Paer might wake up and those two Mantis des would grow out again. Therefore he went all out for the battle just like Lin Xin just now. Then a scary rumbling roared in front of Si Maxians chest like thunder. Smashing, crushing, three explosions together with purple thunders and lightning and purple thunder cannon urred at the same time. The Lightning Devil God became the first opponent of Si Maxian who after having his own domain, gave out all his domain attacks. Even the King of Loathe was not treated like this. Si Maxian himself twitched by the lightning and his chest smoked. When he took down Big Power Ball of Light, Paers Devil God crown was smashed into pieces, not to mention his body. A domain weapon was not that easy to deal with. Within just a few minutes, the bald pastor Si Maxian broke the record that had just been made by Lin Xin and now the highest rank of Devil God that had been killed was rank ten. Snake Gun Devil God Alige and Lightning Devil God Paer could finally meet in another world. Their Devil Pirs dimmed down. Si Maxian consumed less strength than Lin Xin. After all, Han Yu helped him directly. Si Maxian gave a thumb up at the direction of Han Yu, meanwhile he stroked the angel painting on his chest, which was already gone quietly. The Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness was the highest rank besides Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. It was also the first Sealed Divine Throne made by humans. In the dark history of six thousand years, the Sealed Divine Throne of Fear and Sadness only recognized two knights. Han Yu was the second one. This throne only provided one weapon, the Shield of Fear and Sadness. In terms of defense power, it was the top of five subsidiary thrones. This time Han Yu blocked the Devil Dragon army of Devil King level with ease. When attacked by the Anti-Heavenly Dragon n and Star Devil n, he helped Si Maxian at the most critical moment. How great was the throne of fear and sadness defense power. But from what they saw just now, this throne could do more than defense. Han Yu just used his skill which was called Rhythm of Fear and Sadness. If the skill could be used on himself, then it could also be used on others. This could make a strong skill to both assist and limit. Han Yu and Si Maxian used to try many times. That scary scream was used on the Holy Knight of Starry Sky, Yang Haoyu. And it proved that even a strong man like Yang Haoyu, whose demon powerbined with martial art with strong spirit, would also be restricted to that scary scream for more than two seconds. Moreover, the most terrifying part was that it could not be interrupted or eliminated. But there was one premise, that was to hit on the opponent right in front. The only defect of this skill was that it could not automatically find the enemy. So one had to make sure the opponent would not run away from the attack. Otherwise, Han Yu did not need to wait until Si Maxian got into trouble. Two members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group joined hands and killed another Devil God of high rank. This helped humans a lot. But the Devil Gods powers were still terrifying. In just a few minutes, two heroes were killed. Lin Xin went back to the battle ground again. He flew directly to Si Maxian above his shoulders. After throwing a few pills to Si Maxian, he used Si Maxians shoulder as emcement and Fire of Immortal Dragon as gun tube and issued an attack. With the help of the Domain of Holy Sun, he made a strong impact on the enemies. Si Maxian used this opportunity to recover considering he was wounded just now and a lot of his strength was consumed. After two sides went all out for the battle, the situation was bnced again somehow. On the side of the Temple Federation, although they killed a lot of strong Devil enemies of rank eight, Mo Dao Cannons were used too often therefore many lost theirbative power. In this battle among rank nine strong men and Devils, both suffered a great loss. Generally the Devil sides loss was smaller. After all, Devil Gods had the support from Devil God Pirs and were guarded by them and other powers. It would be very hard to kill the Devil Gods unless they were attacked like what Lin Xin and Si Maxian did just now. Chapter 851 - Rhythm Of Fear And Sadness (II)

Chapter 851: Rhythm Of Fear And Sadness (II)

As for the other level nine Devil members, their deaths would not make much of a difference. Due to the fundamental difference in strength and power between human beings and Devils, together with Moon Devil God and Star Devil Gods care and help for their own ns, the Devil side gradually gained momentum. However, as the gap between two sides was not so big, and since the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God reserved their strength, the bnce between two sides barely kept the same as before. Three thousand meters high above the ground, the battle between Long Haochen and God of Devils entered a different level. When Long Haochen opened his eyes again, he felt that he now had the power to challenge the God of Devils. Before theplete awakening of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he was not aware that this Imperial Weapon had such great power. The Anti-Heavenly Dragon Pir behind the God of Devils back was like the pir that supported the sky. Beside it, the God of Devils aura increased to an unprecedented level. In the sky, a ck huge sword fell down slowly and was suspended in front of the God of Devils. The dragon prints glow gradually went back inside the sword and left dark dragon prints on it. The God of Devils eyes changed into a dark golden color. He raised his right hand and grabbed the ck huge sword. He said coldly to Long Haochen, After my spiritual power broke through 500,000, I havent met anyone who is entitled to have me fight with all my strength. Good for you, as my blood inheritor, you have the power to challenge me. As a matter of fact, at my level I feel very happy to have a good rival finally. Let me see your level and how much power I need to release to fight with you. This sword is named the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword, which was made from one of my own dragon bones. I had it kept inside my body and have refined it for 100 years. This sword, the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Pir, and I share the same body. While he was saying, the Anti-Heavenly Sword waved a circle in his hand. And the God of Devils grabbed it when the sword pointed up to the sky. The huge sword instantly shone with ayer of strong dark blue light and the dragon prints dimmed with golden light. Long Haochen raised his right hand and slowly grabbed the Sword of Eternity and Creation. Instantly, a strange feeling spread all over his body. It was not a strong power, but a feeling that it could break through any kinds of obstacles and make miracles happen. The nine-colored token on the sword all shone brightly as soon as he touched the sword. The luxurious prints on the armor of Eternity and Creation seemed toe alive. A righteous aura spread out from Long Haochen and oppressed the dark aura from the God of Devils, who stood against the Devil God Pirs. It was not any weaker than the aura of the Gold of Devils and seemed to even in the upper hand. The God of Devils eyes turned solemn. Although the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation only left a small trace of God of Creation aura, the God of Creation was the greatest god who made the whole world and all different dimensions! To some extent, one dimension was part of the God of Creations body. The rules of this world were made by the God of Creation. Long Haochens Imperial Weapon, though only had a small trace of God of Creation aura, could make a terrifying weapon for any opponent, including the God of Devils. Long Haochen issued the attack first. A white light shed across and next moment he appeared in front of the God of Devils. He grabbed his sword with his backhand and pushed it forward. If anyone was watching them fight, they could see the beautiful scene in which Long Haochen just appeared. When he moved across, he left a long trace in the sky made up of countless lights and shadows. These lights and shadows were the picture of the All Things Grow together with lights from the sun, moon, and stars. The God of Devils used his sword to block the attack from Long Haochens sword. These two were both Imperial Weapons and they shed at their peak condition. The moment two shed, the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Swords dragon prints screamed sharply and the nine-colored token on the sword of Eternity and Creation shone with bright lights. Long Haochen and the God of Devils again faced closely with each other. But this time, Long Haochen was not oppressed by the God of Devils. With an explosive sound, Long Haochen and the God of Devils both sprang backwards. This time they had a tie. But the sword in the God of Devils hand hummed, which surprised the God of Devils. Though it was only a sh and the battle did not end, the difference between these two swords were clear. Even if Long Haochens practice level reached rank nine level nine, he still could notpete with God of Devils million points of spiritual power! The result of the sh was a tie. This proved that the Sword of Eternity and Creation worked better than the sword of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon Pir. The humming proved its weakness. Long Haochen turned his wrist and pointed his sword up forward and his left hand joined with his right hand. He looked at the God of Devils calmly. In his chest, the Divine Stone of Eternity shone with green light. And the faint trace of God of Creation suddenly inted to a great extent. All Things Resuscitate. It was still the All Things Resuscitate of the Three Swords of Eternity. Only this time, the God of Devils was so surprised. The sky turned to green color and a strong aura of livelihood spread more than 1000 meters. Yu Longguan, which was known for its coldness and tough environment, suddenly warmed up. Skys color turned green and all humans and Devils looked up at the sky. They saw something they could never forget. Magic pictures appeared in the sky like a mirage. Green shadows of countless nts presented themselves in mid-air. These nts seemed to grow and spread all over the sky. This beautiful aura of the All Things Resuscitate even surprised the Devils. The green images reached 1000 meters far away that even Qu Moguan, which was located at Assassin Temple, could witness it clearly. That strong livelihood fell from the sky and made all the strong men of non-dark attributes feel that their spiritual power increased to a great extent. This helped humans to increase their power and greatly weakened the Devils strength. This greatly influenced two sides morale. The Moon Devil God Agarez could not believe it. He finally realized why the God of Devils used the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir. Long Haochen was much stronger than they had thought! Simply by this sky change, it proved that he had the power to challenge the God of Devils. The God of Devils face looked gloomy and issued another round of attack during the All Things Resuscitate. He raised his sword slowly and held it with both hands. Meanwhile, a strange sound buzzed inside his body. In his chest, thousands of gleams of dark blue lights shone and turned to a light ball crawling upward. It then merged into the sword. A small ck hole appeared at the tip of the sword and it soon expanded. In an instant, it tore up the curtain of the All Things Resuscitate and the strong spiritual fluctuation produced an unimaginable crushing force. Around the ck hole, it was full of dark blue lightning and thunder. The Anti-Heavenly Devil God Pir disappeared quietly in the sky. The ck hole expanded rapidly as if it could absorb all power and the dark blue thunder and lightning kept increasing surrounding the ck hole. The power of creation and the power of crushing were fighting fiercely with each other. But to the God of Devils surprise, this time, Long Haochen did not use the All Things Resuscitate to attack. Instead, it seemed that he just made ayout. After the ck hole reached as far as 1000 meters, it stopped. Bird chirping and beasts crying sounds started to ring up. In that green natural world, insects and animals appeared, and they were evolving rapidly. They grew stronger and stronger and then Devil beasts also appeared. This magical scene made the God of Devils feel a lot of pressure. This was the second sword of the Three Swords of Eternity, Animals of Creation. Only this time, it appeared together with the All Things Resuscitate. Living things were born in nature, which followed thews of nature. Seeing this, Agarezs eyes softened and then became more sure of it. He slowed his attack towards Shu Yongxiao and looked at the sky with pleasure. He liked this aura of creation. He wanted the aura of living rather than the force of crushing. Vashak was also surprised by the scene. Though he did not feel as deeply as the Moon Devil God did, he did realize that their n coulde true. Long Haochen was capable of defeating the God of Devils! Outside of Yu Longguan, the Temple Federation and Devil ns strong men split away and the battle paused for a while. They fell to the ground or at the castle of Yu Longguan. All of them looked at the magical change happening in the sky. Chapter 852 - Rhythm Of Fear And Sadness (III)

Chapter 852: Rhythm Of Fear And Sadness (III)

This was a battle between the two strongest men in the world! All the Devil Gods realized for the first time that their invincible king now had apetent rival. It was hard to say who would have thestugh. But the scary sh just now could be the critical moment. Facing thebination of the All Things Resuscitate and Animals of Creation, the sword in the God of Devils changed again and the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir appeared. Only this time it appeared directly under the God of Devils feet. Then his body was melting into the pir softly. Sharp dragon cries rang up and the pir directly went inside the huge ck hole with a width of 1,000 meters, which was reducing its size rapidly. The dragon cries did not disappear but became stronger and stronger. It was like thunder exploding in the sky, one by one. The Animals of Creation in the All Things Resuscitate became a bit illusory in this terrifying dragon cry and trembled. What happened next shocked all strong members on the human side. Right at the ck hole, a huge head slowly came out. It was a dragon head in total ck with bloody huge eyes. Even though it was 3,000 meters high above the ground, people on the ground could still see the red color and sense the crushing aura. The dragon was covered with dark blue mist full of thunders and lightning. Its body followed behind the head and went out as well. And the size of that body shocked everyone at the site, including the Devils. At first, they thought that the previous dragon was very scary. Now they found that this dragon was much more terrifying than the previous one. This ck huge dragon was about 3,000 meters long. As it appeared, green curtains and all living things were greatly affected, especially the Devil beasts in the curtain. They fled as if they had met their natural enemy. This was the original body of the God of Devils! As the head of the Anti-Heavenly Dragons and their Emperor, this was the first time the God of Devils showed its own original body in the battle with human beings. It was his body after the integration with the Anti-Heavenly Devil Pir! The aura of horror increased rapidly and its bloody eyes surrounded by dark blue mist looked at the curtain. The dragon did not issue attacks and was only floating in the air. However, his aura hadpletely interrupted the constitution of sky curtains. After Feng Xiu came out with his original body, he gained the upper hand again. The Star Devil God Vashak went by the side of the Moon Devil God Agarez and said in a low voice, Feng Xiu used his divine power. Agarez slowly nodded. This power we cannot fight against. Im not sure if Long Haochen can win. If he were to win, then the humans will win this war. And then we can make our own choice. Vashak was not pleased after hearing it. He said with a worried look, I do not know why. I have a very bad feeling. What? Agarez looked at Vashak with surprise. If other people had said so, he would not care much but it was the Star Devil God who had said it. The Devil ns prophets words should be taken seriously. Vashak said in a low voice, Do you still remember what I said before? In the Star Devil Tower, we had the chance to kill Long Haochen and it was the only one chance we had. And we failed that time so there are no more chances left. Therefore, I agreed with your n. If we could not kill Long Haochen, it means that Long Haochen is the key for the Devil ns death. That means he should be able to defeat the God of Devils. Agarez nodded and said, I remember. And thats what we want. Vashak said, But today when I saw Long Haochen, I felt something very dangerous, as if he has some kind of power to harm us. Agarez said, I do not understand. Vashak said with a scared look, Do you think Long Haochen will defeat Feng Xiu? Aagrez said without hesitation, Its going to be a tough battle for him. It takes Long Haochen a lot of efforts to just make it even with Feng Xiu. Long Haochen is very strong, but I feel that he would not have the same breakthrough as Feng Xiu did, whose spirit power exceeded one million and reached another level. It would be hard for him to have a tie, not to mention to defeat Feng Xiu. Therefore Im thinking of helping him. Vashak shook his head firmly. No. No way. ording to the conclusion of the prophecy, Feng Xiu cannot kill Long Haochen. In todays fight, Feng Xiu has already regarded Long Haochen as one of his biggest threats. If he were to win, would he let Long Haochen go? And the prophecy says that Long Haochen will not die in todays war. That means he has something else to rival Feng Xiu. Besides the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, what else does he have? Agarez finally understood Vashak and he said with a surprised look, You are saying During their conversation, the sky changed again. The broken green sky curtains suddenly stabilized again. And then the whole sky curtains color dimmed down. Stars appeared one by one on the higher ces on the curtain and illuminated all living creatures. Soon, the amount of stars increased rapidly. When millions of stars shone at the same time, the God of Devils huge body and the ck hole froze in the sky. The third sword of the Three Swords of Eternity, Starry Sky of Eternity, finally came out. All Things Resuscitate, Animals of Creation, and Starry Sky of Eternity allbined together and painted a beautiful picture in the sky. It was like another world was being made 3,000 meters high above the ground. In the lights of stars, all things grew and evolved. What a magical, wonderful, and natural creation! And this was the most powerful skill of Sealed Divine Throne, Creation! The body of the God of Devils was sealed in this beautiful painting and looked so strange. He could not move at all but his bloody eyes remained ferocious. Right at this moment, the ck hole suddenly lit up and shone with the dark purple light. Part of the painting of creation was illuminated with purple color. Then the painting started to twitch, and a big whirlpool centered on the God of Devils body contracted instantly. The power of Creation had arrived. Meanwhile, the God of Devils also changed. His 3000 meters long body was still frozen but the dark purple ck hole contracted suddenly in front of him and turned to a small dark purple light ball at the top of his head. Suddenly the sky dimmed down. And the darkness fell and took away all the lights. All people including the Moon Devil God, the Star Devil God, and themon soldiers all felt like they were strangled. The darkness did not appear in the sky but also in their hearts. Terror, together with this darkness appeared. The whole seemed to be taken away in this darkness if itsted for any longer. Fortunately, lights reappeared in the darkness. The light seemed tost only for a second but also seemed to have been there already for centuries. A light spot lit up in the sky. Then the light seemed to open the door of light and dazzling light suddenly shone. Due to the extreme darkness to extreme light, everyone tried to close their eyes including those who were at the rank of eight or nine. The light appeared above the sky. Due to the instant switch of darkness to light, nobody saw clearly what color the light was. A huge light ball was lit up in the sky and it covered a huge area as if it was going to destroy everything. The mountains of Yu Longguan cracked as if they could not bear the pressure from this huge light ball and would copse any minute. And cracks appeared on the mountains, showing that they might copse any time. Fortunately, the light after being extremely intense started to contract and everything went back to normal slowly. The sky turned so unprecedentedly clean without any clouds or ashes within a 10,000 meters range. In the clear sky, two eye-catching figures appeared. Feng Xius 3,000 meters body was still suspended in the sky. And not far away from him, Long Haochen spread his wings wearing the Armor of Eternity and Creation, breathing heavily. Long Haochens eyes dimmed and the white glow of the armor dimmed as well. His eyes were so persistent and also a bit unreconciled. Chapter 853 - Painting Of Creation (I)

Chapter 853: Painting Of Creation (I)

You made me use the Perishment of One. You should be proud. The Goddess of Nature left behind the Elf Dragon to guard the Dream Paradise in Dream Shrine and that dragon died under my Perishment of One. Though you are not heavily injured, that trace of aura of creation was used up. What else do you have to fight against me? You did well. This painting of creation is very strong and you have divine power. I might be defeated. But what a shame, no matter how great that Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was, it could never improve your power to the level of god. The God of Devils voice was very calm as if after the battle just now, all his feelings had disappeared. Long Haochen struggled to lift up his Sword of Eternity and Creation. You did not win. Dont talk to me like that. Feng Xiu smiled slightly and said, The Painting of Creation used up thest trace of God of Creations soul. What else do you have that is stronger than that? I consumed a lot of energy after using the Perishment of One. But I am still God and I recover much better than a human being. Sun of Devil God. The huge dragon head lifted up and looked up into the sky. A bundle of purple rays tore up the space and appeared above the God of Devils huge body. It was a sun, dark purple sun. Dark purple lights spread over the God of Devils and helped him recover rapidly. In Long Haochens chest, the Heart of Eternity beat so violently and helped him to recover his spiritual power. But he could clearly feel that the God of Devils was recovering much faster than he was. The scary sh that happened just now became nothing. And that strike seemed to use up Long Haochen and the God of Devils power. The difference was that the God of Devils consumed only his spiritual power, but Long Haochen consumed thest trace of breath of the God of Creation left on the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Without this trace, Long Haochen lost the power of the God of Creation which scared the God of Devils the most. And he could not use the painting once more. This was the reason why the God of Devils talked so confidently just now. God levels power finally won over the Imperial Weapon used by human beings. For the God of Devils, this battle had already ended. Long Haochen could not recover as fast as he could. Within ten minutes, he would be fully recovered. And Long Haochens spiritual power, even with the assistance of other magical equipment, would need at least half an hour. The Moon Devil God and Star Devil God nced at each other, both with a worried look. Agarez said, Maybe His Majesty loves talented ones and Long Haochen has his blood so he wont kill Long Haochen? Vashak looked confused. I do not know. I do not understand. But His Majesty killed him once and Long Haochen represented the whole human race. Howe would he admit that blood? Just like we would deny that we have human blood. Agarez said in a deep voice, Lets wait and the truth will tell. Though the Devil n remained calm, human beings could not. The God of Devils voice rang up all the way to the ground and each one of them could hear clearly. Long Haochen did not refute, which meant that he was at a disadvantage. Although Long Haochen until now made all the Temple Federation strong men feel proud of him, he did not defeat the God of Devils! Once their battle ended, it meant that humans would be defeated. Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao nced at each other with a firm look. If the God of Devils were to return, they might not even have the chance to kill any other Devils. What was there to wait for at this moment? Here we go! Xiao Huo, the first generation of the head of Knight Temple, who had always been very calm, suddenly cried out. The huge golden swords transformed from spiritual power suddenly shone bright lights and headed towards the Devil n without any reservations. Under his guidance, the humans went all out again. And the Mo Dao Cannons that remained behind shone with strong lights. Another round of battle which became more cruel began. Agarez and Vashak had the same strategy as before and did not go all out. But still Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao were blocked by them. The battles in other ces were not the same. Every Temple Federations strong man felt a big crisis. Humans could not lose this war. Once lost, thousands of humans futures would be lost. For their families and their ns, they had decided to fight until thest drop of their blood was used. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group gathered together. The ones at the front was Lin Xin and behind him was Caier, Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu, Si Maxian and Zhang Fangfang. Caiers twelve guards stood beside them and formed the strongest group of humans. Above Lin Xins head, a holy sun hung and his whole body was illuminated to blue color. With that scary aura, even the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God, who were fighting with Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, were shocked. The Siamesed Spirit Pills once again appeared in the battle. With the help of the pills, Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group could survive in numerous battles. And this time, what Lin Xin made was the Siamesed Spirit Pill which was mainly made with the crowns of the Devil Gods and Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragons flesh together with other precious materials. It could help the strong nine levels. Theysted for half an hour. This was thest card of Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group. High above in the air, Long Haochen and the God of Devils battle seemed to be settled. Long Haochen was at disadvantage. However, only the members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group were still very confident about their leader. What Long Haochen did until now already surpassed their imagination. He even increased his level to rank nine rank nine. However, they were all very clear that Long Haochen did not show hisst card, which would shock the whole Devil race. Therefore all they could do now was to solve all the other problems for Long Haochen and helped him to focus on the battle with the God of Devils. They would do everything to protect the strongest humans. Chapter 854 - Painting Of Creation (II)

Chapter 854: Painting Of Creation (II)

The super version of the Siamesed Spirit Pill was used at this moment. Lin Xin used it and behind him each member of Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group beamed with a strange color as if their bodies turned to some Imperial Weapons. Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao did not participate in it. Their bodies might not be able to bear the power of the Siamesed Spirit Pill and more importantly, Lin Xin and the other six people would reach the extreme power. It would make no difference to add any other members. All seven strong men of Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group all got improved to the domain level. Their spiritual power added together could surpass 1,500,000 points. And what Lin Xin had was at most 990,000 points. Gods domain and level could not be reached in this situation. Someone might think that 990,000 points was such a small numberpared with 1,500,000 points. As that 1,500,000 points was divided into seven pieces and the 990,000 points that Lin Xin had all belonged to himself with rank nine level nine. Whats more, withpanions spiritual support, the time they were able to use the pill exceeded half an hour. And Lin Xin endured a huge spiritual pressure. Many thanks to the 20 Anti-Heavenly Dragons they killedst time and inner pills hidden in those dragons, Lin Xin could make the guard pills and support himself to endure the spiritual pressure of rank nine level nine. The Fire of Immortal Dragon was lifted up and Lin Xins body was like a burning blue fire elf. His eyes were full of blue mist due to the burning fire. As soon as the fight began, he presented his most tough side. The strong blue fire turned to a huge fire pir and in this explosion, at least eight Hidden Devils were forced toe out and turned to ashes. Only one escaped, who was the 45th Pir Devil God with great assassination skills, head of Di Ke n, Hidden Devil God Baien. Just now Baien led his men to hide and got ready to ambush Lin Xin. But how could he fight against Lin Xins strong perception of elements? As long as there was a fire element, no changes could escape his perception. The magic Lin Xin used just now as only resistance fire ring and fire explosion, which all belonged to the magic level under four. But such a small trick could kill eight Di Ke n strong Devils! That was why Lin Xin was in charge of the Siamesed Spirit, and not Caier. He was the best among Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group to issue long distance attack and he had strong heart fire. Baien was forced out of the hidden state and tried to escape. He failed and the solid fire element around Lin Xin shocked him. Wanna run away? Lin Xin snorted and pointed the Fire of Immortal Dragon towards Baien. A stray of ck line shot out from the dragon crystal of the fire. Baien was just about to defend himself before his body was instant broken through by the attack. His Devil de was broken into pieces and a huge hole appeared between his chest and belly without bleeding. Next moment Baiens corpse turned to steam and disappeared. A blue light shed across, and a hand made of fire grabbed Baiens crown of Devil God urately and brought it back to Lin Xin. The Finger of Fire God was not ck, but blue fire was condensed, making it look ck. The 45th Pir of the Devil n, Hidden Devil God Baien was killed within just a few seconds. Lin Xins power had just revealed. With the protection of twelve holy guards, he flew slowly forward with Fire of Immortal Dragon lifting up high. The holy sun above his head did not increase in size but suddenly turned to dark blue and then turned ck just like the Finger of Fire God. A circle of blue fire mist surrounded the ck, almost the same color of the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Emperor who just appeared with his original body. Lin Xins appearance right now with ck sun over his head made him look even more like a Devil. And in the next few minutes, he was going to be the nightmare of the Devil n. A huge ck fire ball first flew out from the holy sun with a width of give meters. A circle of dark blue mist surrounded the fire ball. It flew slowly forward. And the ce it flew across, a mist was left behind. What was more terrifying was that the mist made the ck fire ball a bit illusory and nobody could see clearly its position. It moved forward as if it was searching for something, which waspletely different from the normal magic that moved directly to the goal. Then the second ck fire ball shot out in the same shape as the first one and moved in the same style in a misty style. Lin Xins killing of Baien left a deep impression on each member of the Devil n. Seeing all these ck fire balls appearing which looked even more scary than Finger of Fire God that killed Baien, nobody dared to touch it. No one knew how powerful this ball was. Lin Xin smiled. It was a warm smile but a bit ferocious. Those who were familiar with him knew that he was going to do something bad. Those huge ck fire balls flew out one after another as if it did not consume any magical power. Lin Xin did not stop until the ninth one shot out. And the moment the ninth one flew out, the previous eight balls which wandered around suddenly speeded up and flew towards the ce where the most Devils were fighting. It was the ce where Devil Dragon armies and Devil Gods gathered. Scared by these fireballs, many Devils tried to avoid Lin Xin and unconsciously gathered at the same ce. More members, more power, the Devils thought. And the ck fire balls exploded and many strong Devils tried to escape but split away from each other. Chapter 855 - Youyao Brothers Black Fire (I)

Chapter 855: Youyao Brothers ck Fire (I)

Facing nine huge ck fire balls, no Devils including Devil Gods would like to challenge them. They still remembered clearly how Baien was killed and the rapidly moving fireballs made them all want to escape. However, the ck fire balls which were wandering slowly just now suddenly speeded up and those which flew out at the very beginning moved into the most densely Devil popted area. The Devils split away instantly and none was hit by the balls. The fireballs suddenly stopped, which made it even more weird. The moment it stopped, a second ck fire ball came close and the two shed together. The Devils who were busy escaping were all shocked and they all turned around and posed defensively. What strong power would the sh release from those two scary fire balls? However, they did not explode but their changes made all the strong Devils frightened. The Devil Gods who stood near instantly used their own Devil God Pir and got transferred back to the Pir. Those two balls did not explode but integrated with each other. The two became an even bigger one. And in a second, the seven balls all came together and became one. When all the nine fireballs became one, a horrible existence of the width of 30 meters formed. The Devils felt as if they were strangled, and as if they were facing the God of Devils. Goodbye, my friend. Lin Xin smiled and waved the Fire of Immortal Dragon in his hand. The next moment, a strange explosion sound rang up in the center of the scary fireball. Ayer of strange ck light spread out for about 500 meters far which stopped right before touching the Temple Federation members. It disappeared quickly after about three to five seconds. In the first second that ck light swept across, all the Hell Devils, Evil Devils, Moon Devils, and Star Devils at level eight and the Devil Dragon army at level nine all disappeared into an illusory mist. After two seconds, all these mists rose up and disappeared in air like steam. Nothing was left, not even the Devil crystals. The Devil Gods could escape with the Devil God Pir, but the other Devils could not! The ck light killed about one hundred Devils at rank eight and tens of Devil Dragon armies within 500 meters range. The Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon, Star Devil n with prophecy skills, and Moon Devils who were good at both magic and martials arts, all disappeared in that ck light without any resistance. This was too scary. Though a few Devil Gods were killed before, such a great loss urred for the first time since the battle began. Lin Xin said with a sad look, What a waste, so many good materials! What a shame. But dont you think the skill I just used was great? Let me see, Ill call it Sr Eclipse of Nine. How about it? Im a genius. If the members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group did not have to continue with their practice of Siamesed Spirit and could not talk just in case, they would have really wanted to beat Lin Xin up. Under the influence of the Siamesed Spirit, Lin Xins practice level increased to rank nine and levelnine9, and his passion waspletely lit up, together with his humor and hatred towards Devils. He was so excited. Though he boasted of himself, nobody could deny that he was a genius. He was able to create a new skill after gaining the power from the Siamesed Spirit. Not everybody had this gift. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group made the right decision to have him as the leader. If they were to choose Career or Chen Yinger, they would not do such harm to the Devils within such a short period of time. The power of the Sr Eclipse of Nine was so strong that the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God noticed the changes. Their ns and about one tenth of their army were killed! They felt threatened due to Lin Xins attack. Lin Xin waved the Fire of Immortal Dragon in his hand and looked at the ck dragon crystal which was burned by his own fire. He smiled and looked at the Devil in the distance. He waved his wand and shouted, Come on! Try it once again. This time a series of ck fireballs shoot out towards the Devils on the other side. With the lessons taught just now, no Devils dared to stay in his attacking range. The Devil Dragon army became so nervous. The Moon Devil God Agarez eyes shone with purple lights and a purple moon shone behind him. He escaped Shu Yongxiaos attack by a sh, meanwhile a purple armor covered his whole body and a purple moon mark appeared between his eyes. Twelve purple wings spread behind his back and he appeared in front of Lin Xin in a second. He put his hands together and shot out a purple moon which headed towards the fireball. Since the battle began, Agarez had been ying without putting much effort, but now he could not help but to fight with full strength. He even used god form which proved what a big threat Lin Xin posed upon the Devil n. But soon Agarez got very angry. Those scary ck balls disappeared like bubbles under the purple moons attack. Those were not real at all, simply illusions. Lin Xin smiled at Agarez. Sorry to disappoint you. I was just messing with you. Dont be so serious. He waved the Fire of Immortal Dragon to both sides and the ck fire lines flew to all directions. The ck fire seemed to have eyes and searched for the Devils who were fighting with Temple Federation members. It moved so fast and soon locked on those enemies. In a few seconds, about eight Devils were killed and disappeared into mist. Agarez became serious. He did not think that the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group had such a method for increasing power. Lin Xin was like a monster after increasing his spiritual power. He was without doubt the strongest fire magician in human history. The heat in that fire even made him scared. Lin Xin affected the Devils morale. Their advantage was oppressed. Even the Devil Gods hid themselves beside Devil God Pirs, to avoid getting hit by Lin Xin. Agarez would be very happy to see this happening if he had stuck to his old n. He might at most feel a bit sad for his own n peoples death. But just now he was reminded by Vashak and he thought differently now about Long Haochen, so he could not just stand by and see the Devil n be destroyed like this. He put his hands by two sides and two moon des with a width of one third of a meter and a length of a meter appeared. The des were purple and the purple lights on it waved like water. Now the Moon Devil God and Star Devil Gods real strength was put on the table. Agarez ran out of the battle with Shu Yongxiao and Vashak instantly encircled Shu Yongxiao in his attacking range so that she could not escape. Even until now, Vashak did not use his god form. If these two were to use their full strength from the very beginning, the strong fighters of the Temple Federation might not be able to defend themselves. Agarez spread out his twelve wings in different shapes. After all wings spread out, they formed a huge circle and looked like a purple moon shining with purple lights. He grabbed his des on both sides and fixed his eyes on Lin Xin. The Moon Devil Gods eyes did not scare Lin Xin but he now felt like spikes in the back. He dared not to attack other Devils and the Fire of Immortal Dragon pointed to Agarez aggressively. Agarez snorted and his wings lit up at the same time. Suddenly, a huge purple light circle, like a full moon, ran towards Lin Xin with Agarez in the middle. The ck holy sun above Lin Xins head shone at the same time and it moved towards Agarezs attack. The ck and purple mixed in the air and exploded. Lin Xin was suspended in the air and did not move. What surprised him was that Agarez was not by any means at a disadvantage but only his shoulders trembled a little bit. Chapter 856 - Youyao Brothers Black Fire (II)

Chapter 856: Youyao Brothers ck Fire (II)

Not only was Lin Xin so surprised, but the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group was also the same. The Temple Federation members all thought that the strongest Devil was the God of Devils and that he had no rivals in this world. Agarez and Vashak had always been the right hand men for the God of Devils, therefore they were always behind him. Everybody thought that these twos practice levels were much lower than that of the God of Devils. But now, Lin Xin used his own new level to test Agarez, who was found to have great power. In his god form, Agarezs practice level would be no less than rank nine and level nine. It was no wonder he dared to stand in front of Lin Xin, regardless of the ck fire. Lin Xins attack was blocked by the Moon Devil God and that cheered all the Devils up. With no need for instructions, the Devil Gods who were hidden, all issued attacks once again. They led their members and attacked the Temple Federation members who got only a few seconds to rest. The battle started again. ck fireballs appeared again and now they were not illusions. Apparently Lin Xin wanted to use the Sr Eclipse of Nine again. Agarez might not be able topete with him in terms of offensive power,, since he was assisted by the Siamesed Spirit, but Lin Xin was apanied by so many people, therefore he could not move swiftly as well as Agarez. Illusory purple figures appeared at such a fast speed that eyes could not catch it. When the third fireball shot out, the first one was cut through by Agarezs de right in between. Though ck fire was lit up around Agarez, it was driven away by the twelve wings behind him. Without integration, the Sr Eclipse of Nine could not work well. Lin Xins current state would not allow him to try for a bigger move as it might consume too much of his energy and would be a great burden for his body. He could not take risks. Once his body copsed, hispanions would be in trouble as well. Therefore he could only stand by and saw his Sr Eclipse of Nine to be melted by Agarez. But Agarez did not issue any attacks to Lin Xin. He sometimes looked up to the sky to observe the battle between the God of Devils and Long Haochen, who were busy recovering. Lin Xin stopped to use anyplicated skill like the Sr Eclipse of Nine. He now understood that Agarez did not go all out still, otherwise when he just had used the Sr Eclipse of Nine just now, Agarez would have attacked him as he was so weak just now. He once again used the Finger of Fire God and pointed them at Agarez nonstop. It was a very powerful attack and each attack came together with a hellfire needle. Agarez was strong but he had to focus on his fight with Lin Xin under this attack and dared not to cast nces to the sky but went all out for Lin Xin. Youyao Brother became so powerful after the Siamesed Spirit practice! Now he was in the upper hand so he could point the Finger of Fire God sometimes to other directions, looking for the subordinates of the Anti-Heavenly Dragon. Though it might not be able to kill the dragon, it could at least make enough trouble. He chose the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon to attack, not the Moon Devils or the Star Devils. The Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group already got the order from Long Haochen and knew that the Moon Devil God was hesitant in this fight. Lin Xin understood why Agarez jumped out to fight all because his n members had died. Therefore he chose to avoid the Moon Devils and Star Devils and focused on attacking the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragons. This was what Agarez wanted to see the most and therefore would not stop Lin Xin. Agarez somewhat began to respect this shameless guy. A sharp dragon cry rang up and all people looked up to the sky again. It was the sound of the God of Devils. His 3,000 meters long body slowly erected and his bloody eyes stared at Long Haochen. He said coldly, To surrender or to die, you have yourst chance. The God of Devils attitude changed towards Long Haochen. He could no longer reach the goal that was set by him at the very beginning. Long Haochens practice level was far beyond his expectation. He could not erase Long Haochens memory and insert his own blood into Long Haochen to train him. Only if Long Haochen were to surrender and open his soul, that he might be able to train him to be the inheritor. Though he used his god level power to oppress Long Haochen, he felt a great crisis during the fight. The God of Devils was very clear that with the assistance of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and Ye Xiaolei who was a spirit of God, Long Haochen might be able to reach the same level as he did within a short time. With Ye Xiaoleis help and Goddess of Natures experience, he might even break the rules and be a god. At that time, not only the Devil n would suffer greatly, but he himself might also not even fight with Long Haochen. Feng Xiu was a fierce and ambitious Devil. When he found out that something could not be controlled, he threw away the connection of blood with Long Haochen. Long Haochen looked at the God of Devils coldly. You should know the answer. Feng Xius cold eyes now were filled with passion for killing. I want to hear you say it yourself. If you choose to surrender, give me the gods position of the Goddess of Nature. Otherwise, Ill kill you again. Long Haochen snorted. Your Majesty, are you so confident that you can kill me? Have you ever considered in todays fight that I knew the Armor of Eternity will wake up? The will of God of Creation, can I guess it? Hearing it, the God of Devils became confused. What do you want to say? Surrender or death. Long Haochen kept talking. I only want to say that if I already knew that my practice level cannotpete with yours, why would Ie and lead my people to have this Holy War. Naturally I have myst card, which can give you a huge blow. The unexpected awakening of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation only made me more assured. I believe that even if I cannot step into the realm of God, you are no rival for me. Long Haochen lifted his right hand and activated the mask of his Armor of Eternity and Creation. Behind the mask, his handsome face was revealed, meanwhile Long Haochen touched his forehead gently, where the nine purple lines were located. Seeing the purple golden lines, the God of Devils suddenly shook and he said coldly, You want to defeat me by that one trace of blood aura of Austin Griffin? He has neverpletely awakened. Do you think that aura can surpass that of God of Creation? Though he said with ease, his eyes revealed fear. Long Haochen felt it clearly. Agarez and Vashak were both very nervous now on the ground. They understood that they would soon be able to decide what they should do next after seeing what would happen between Long Haochen and the God of Devils. Long Haochen did not answer the God of Devils question. Purple golden light lit up in his forehead. As he lifted up his right hand, the purple light expanded and appeared in the sky, making a huge contrast with the white Armor of Eternity and Creation. The God of Devils looked terrified because he felt that the purple golden glow give out an aura much stronger that he expected. He could not wait any longer. The God of Devils attacked Long Haochen with his huge dragon tail. Dark blue lightning froze on the tail and turned to a dark blue de, which might be able to cut Long Haochen in half. Long Haochen fixed his eyes and the purple light jumped into his palm. Then his body appeared in mid-air. A huge eye appeared quietly in the sky. It was so big, with a height of 50 meters. What was more strange was the color of it. It had two different colors. At the edge of the eye, one side was crystal white like the Sword of Eternity and Creation, and on the other side was deep purple golden color without any livelihood. The two colors made a big contrast. And what was more terrifying was that in the eye, two pupils appeared. One was white, and the other one purple. And these two pupils seemed to integrate together. They were chasing each other like Yin and Yang. Chapter 857 - Youyao Brothers Black Fire (III)

Chapter 857: Youyao Brothers ck Fire (III)

The God of Devils huge dragon tail arrived and the magical Eyes of Brahma lit up with twopletely different colors, purple gold and crystal white. The two lights shone and integrated with the scary power of the God of Devils body. The God of Devils was already back in his peak. But Long Haochen just recovered one third of his strength. One was rising quickly and the other was falling behind. But the strength did not mean everything. The humans could not help Long Haochen because they did not have enough power to join this battle at almost god level. Also they did not have time. Caier closed her eyes tightly. Her body trembled so violently that almost harmed the practice of the Siamesed Spirit. And the next moment, a deafening scream rang up. Caier opened her eyes instantly. She was very familiar with everything about Long Haochen but that sound did not belong to him. She would know if it was his voice. When she looked up to the sky once again. She was shocked because she saw blood falling like rain and the color of that blood was hard to tell. Scales of the size of millstone scattered in air and fell. The huge eye dimmed and the tail of the dragon waved away. The scales and blood rushed out from a scary wound in the tail. The God of Devils was hurt badly. Long Haochens Eyes of Brahma was not affected at all. What a big contrast, and what an unbelievable scene! Agarez and Vashak nced at each other. They both saw the fear in each others eyes. It was what they feared most happened. If it was not that power, how could Long Haochen hurt the God of Devils at his peak state? High up in the sky, the Eye of Brahma gradually disappeared. The God of Devils huge body was about thousands of meters away from Long Haochen, and his huge body was shrinking rapidly. Soon Feng Xius human form came out once again in front of Long Haochen. One could see clearly his right calf covered with blood. He was hurt there. Long Haochens figure appeared once again. The only difference was that except for the Sword of Eternity and Creation in his left hand, in his right hand appeared another sword, a purple golden sword. Regarding the size, this huge sword was almost the same as the Sword of Eternity and Creation. The purple golden light was not so bright and the sword body was printed with eight color marks. At its edge, there were eight headsbining together protecting Long Haochens right hand. Long Haochen already took off the mask and the purple golden mark on his forehead shone brightly like an eye. And his aura changedpletely. The Power of Creation which was so soft only upied half of Long Haochens aura and the other half was a scary aura filled with strong attempts to fight, mixed with a great hatred towards the God of Devils not too far away from Long Haochen. Seeing Long Haochens purple golden sword, Feng Xius pupil contracted to a small point. He lifted his hand and pointed at Long Haochen. As a half god, he could not help trembling. Y-You It did not die The God of Devils voice was shaking. He could not believe it and it seemed as if he was going to copse. Long Haochen stared at the God of Devils with cold eyes. Deep down his golden clear eyes, there was ayer of faint purple. I never said that Hao Yue died. You thought that because you killed me that time so you also killed him? You underestimated Hao Yues strength and also my souls power. He was really grateful for Electroluxs help. If it was not for the Tower of Eternity, his soul might already have disappeared. Without Electrolux, he could not stand here and fight with the God of Devils who had ruled thisnd in the dark age for 6,000 years. At this moment, Long Haochen hadpletely forgiven the God of the Deaths, the Scourge of Undead Electrolux. Let the past be forgotten. The best payback to Electrolux was to end the dark age and bring human beings back to the age of peace and development. Looking at the purple golden Hao Yue sword, a light shed across the God of Devils eyes. He murmured, Eight heads, only eight heads. Austin Griffin is not awakenedpletely. We still have a chance. Agarez, Vashak, what are you two waiting for? Do you want Austin Griffin to wake up and destroy this world? The God of Devils body suddenly went backwards and was further away from Long Haochen. His Anti-Heavenly sword appeared again. He pointed the sword to the sky and a dark golden light lit up behind him. The center was ck and the outer circle was light red gold. The God of Devils eye color also turned from ck to red. Agarez and Vashak nced at each other with a firm look and rose up at the same time. The purple full moon turned from Agarezs twelve wings became brighter and orange star light appeared behind Vashaks back. Seeing these two gods reactions, Long Haochen was not too surprised. Earlier before the war began, he already guessed the result of using Hao Yues power. That was why Long Haochen persisted in not using Hao Yues power until now. He worried that once he used Hao Yue, all the other Devil Gods would join hands together, especially the Moon Devil God Agarez, who showed the tendency to side with him. Of course he would use Hao Yues power, it was only a matter of time. It was so that the Yu Longguan battle could be less chaotic. The fact proved that Long Haochen already had seeded. As the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God did not go all out in the battle of Yu Longguan, the Temple Federation members did not lose much. On the contrary, they gained some benefits. Especially after the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group used the Siamesed Spirit method and further weakened the Devil sides power. Now the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God joined in the battle with Long Haochen. The humans would have more chance in the war with the Devil n, since two strong members of rank nine level seven dropped out and a Siamesed Spirit version of Lin Xin at rank nine level nine appeared. However, the God of Devils, Moon Devil God, and Star Devil God did not care about what was going on in the battlefield. When Long Haochen saw their faces with that firm look, he was wondering why they were so afraid of Hao Yue. They were so scared that even the Moon Devil God who did not share the same value with the God of Devils chose to switch sides again. Three lights: sun, moon, and star. The God of Devils shouted and lifted up his sword. A sharp dark golden light pir shot out from him and grew upwards. Agarez and Vashak did the same. Agarez lifted up his moon de and a purple light pir rose up. Vashakpleted his god form when rising up to the sky. A shiny orange red robe covered his body and in his right hand appeared a star light wand. Its top was decorated with an oval gem shining with six gleams of star light. He lifted up the wand tall and an orange red light pir rose up. Three light pirs in three different colors centered around Long Haochen. What Long Haochen did next surprised the three Devil Gods. He did not pay much attention to three gods but instead lowered his head and shouted towards the humans. Clear the battlefield soon! The Federation will win! These simple words meant that Long Haochen did not need their help. Lin Xin and the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group stopped in mid air. Lin Xin turned around and looked at Caier. Deputy leader, what should we do now? Caier gritted her teeth. Follow his order. Lets focus on the battlefield first. After we win, we can go and help him. Roger. Lin Xins smile disappeared and he looked serious. He murmured incantation in low voice and Fire of Immortal Dragon started to dance by a strange rhythm. Caier, Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Yinger, and Si Maxian, Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang who stood behind Lin Xin all felt that their own spiritual power was absorbed by him rapidly. Needless to say, this guy was going to make a big move, something even more powerful than the Sr Eclipse of Nine. The ck holy sun above Lin Xins head expanded and did not stop until the length reached 30 meters long. A phoenixs singing sound rang up. Lin Xin moved his body and a dense ck light rushed out from his chest and entered the ck holy sun. Chapter 858 - The Eight-Headed Purple Golden Hao Yue Sword (I)

Chapter 858: The Eight-Headed Purple Golden Hao Yue Sword (I)

A phoenix screaming loudly arrived in the battlefield of Yu Longguan like a king. A ck phoenix flew out of the holy sun with its body length of 30 meters. The blue fire phoenix now turned to ck phoenixpletely. Dark blue mist surrounded it and swirled around. It went towards Lin Xin first and nodded towards him. Then it spread out wings and flew towards the battlefield. Strong ck fire fell from the sky. Lin Xins face turned pale after using this magic. He closed his eyes and tried to recover his magical power. The others did the same. The magic they used just now absorbed two thirds of total spiritual power. This ck fire phoenix was the result of million points of spiritual power. One could easily imagine its battling strength in the battlefield. Led by Shu Yongxiao and Huo Xiao, the humansunched a counterattack with all efforts. Who could have thought that Long Haochen not only suppressed the God of Devils, but also brought the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God into it? The Federation members would not miss such a chance. With ck fire phoenixs help, the battle of Yu Longguan now entered a new stage of lopsided win. The ck fire phoenix flew to the battlefield and spread out wings and lit up thousands square meters of ground with fire. Even the Devil Gods tried to avoid the fire. The other Devils were either being killed or badly injured by it. The result of the battle of Yu Longguan was certain, but the fight of one to three just began. Long Haochen was very serious but also confident about the fight. When Hao Yue transformed to that purple golden sword, he had a strong confidence since then. When the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God joined the fight, Hao Yue gave him a feeling of disdain towards them. That was why Long Haochen did not let others help him. He believed in Hao Yues judgement of enemies, though he knew that eight-headed Hao Yue was of rank nine level seven. But even when Hao Yue was only six-headed, the God of Devils was not willing to face it and chose to kill Long Haochen and hoped for Hao Yues death together. One could see how scary Hao Yue was for the Devils. Long Haochen was very calm facing the three strongest members of the Devil n. Vast spiritual power rushed from the purple golden Hao Yue sword into his body, which helped him to recover to the peak state. And a purple golden light ring appeared under the feet of Long Haochen. Every time it shone, all the broken elements in the air all gathered inside Long Haochens body and transformed to his strength. The Hao Yue sword in his hand which was transformed from Hao Yue could also absorb exterior power to empower itself. The dark gold, purple, and orange light pirs suspended in the sky and then lights disappeared. Above the three Devils, a sun, moon, and star appeared. The three colors mixed and shone brightly in the sky. An indescribable heavy pressure poured out on Long Haochen. With his level together with the assistance of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he could barely afford it. The armor even gave out a sound of pain. What is this? Legal Array? The God of Devils can arrange a Legal Array at such a scary level? Long Haochen felt like he could not even lift up the swords. Ayer of purple golden light came out from Hao Yue sword and assisted him. The Armor of Eternity and Creation now was covered with ayer of purple golden light. All pressure suddenly disappeared and ayer of purple golden light waved upon Long Haochens body. His eyes turned to the color of purple gold. Hao Yues power can suppress the Devil n just as I had expected. Long Haochen felt pleased. He knew that Hao Yue to the Devil n was like Caiers purification power to the Undead Devil God Samigina and even more. Otherwise the God of Devils would not ask for help from the Moon Devil God and Star Devil God after he used the Eye of Brahma. Long Haochen did not look at God of Devils and turned to Agarez at his left. Senior Agarez, we havee all the way here together and we are almost going to aplish our goal. Why are you doing this now? As long as we join hands and kill the God of Devils, I will keep my promise. Dont you believe me in my words to Yue Ye? Hearing Long Haochens words, the God of Devils face turned green. Though he had a feeling of Agarezs betrayal, now he felt so angry seeing and hearing it. But unexpectedly he did not turn nasty towards Agarez. Agarez could not stay calm and frowned. He stared at Long Haochens Hao Yue Sword in his right hand. Long Haochen. Our cooperation already ended. The death of Austin Griffin was the precondition and foundation of it. Even if today I kill you humans, and His Majesty mes me for it and even kills me, I now must stand together with him and try to kill you, especially to eliminate Austin Griffin. Long Haochen was stunned. He said those words because he wanted to alienate Agarez from God of Devils. If the three were to join hands together, it would produce a huge pressure on him. He could not fail because that meant the end of humankind. But he did not expect Agarezs answer to be so certain. Vashak did not say a word but from his eyes, one could see that he was thinking the same with Agarez. Long Haochen asked curiously, Why? Why is it so important to kill Hao Yue? Agarez said in a low voice, I can help you and the humans because I hope that my n and race can live the style of yours, a life of creation, a better living. But Austin Griffins existence means ruin. If he wants to ruin us, even you cannot control him. Say no more now. Today either you kill us all or we destroy Austin Griffin. He raised his moon de towards Long Haochen and the purple moon in the sky lit up instantly. The God of Devils and Star Devil God also pointed their weapons towards Long Haochen. Long Haochen was now under unimaginable pressure. In the triangle range of these three gods, the space cracked somewhere. If it was someone else, they might already be crushed into pieces. At Yu Longguan. A woman in white stood at the castle tower and looked up to the sky. She had been here for a while and she was so beautiful like an elf. Only her eyes were filled with tears. Her hands clenched so tight that her nails pierced into her palm. Blood dripped down from her hands. Her hair waved behind her head and she gritted her teeth and climbed up the stairs in the castle tower. Now there were only a few strong human beings inside Yu Longguan. Those who were left behind were mostly artillerymen who could use the Mo Dao Cannon, or those who were fighting outside of the tower. The arrival of the woman in white was unexpected. If Long Haochen were to see her, he would be so shocked and would cry out, Mom. This woman in white was Bai Yue. She was transferred to another ce like others before the Holy War began. But on her way, she secretly came back. The guards wanted to stop her but she was now mother of the chairman of the Temple Federation, wife of the Knight Temples Sealed Divine Knight of Judgement Long Xingyu. How could a few guards stop her if she already made up her mind? Her reason was simple, she wanted to live or die together with her husband and son. Finally, much admired and respected by guards, she walked back to Yu Longguan and arrived in the tower now. Looking at Long Haochen encircled by three Devil Gods, Bai Yues eyes were filled with tears, which dropped down across her face. She repeatedly asked, Why Long Haochen was not aware of her mothers arrival in the tower. He calmed down and grabbed two swords tightly, meanwhile he immersed his spirit with that of Hao Yue. A terrifying aura transferred from Hao Yues blood to him. Long Haochen suddenly felt like nothing could stop him in this world. This feeling came so sudden but so real. He did not feel much difference even until he lifted up Hao Yue Sword with his right hand. The next moment, Long Haochen moved, as if he was led by Hao Yue Sword. A purple golden figure shed in the sky. First to the left and then the whole sky dimmed. And the three Devil Godsunched their attacks towards Long Haochen led by Qi Ji. The sun, moon, and star shone brightly at the same time. The three Devil Gods aura mixed and formed a special sealed area of sun, moon, and star. Chapter 859 - The Eight-Headed Purple Golden Hao Yue Sword (II)

Chapter 859: The Eight-Headed Purple Golden Hao Yue Sword (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio A huge rune fell down from the sky and went towards Long Haochen. The triangle made up of the three Devil Gods swirled rapidly so that Long Haochen could not find their whereabouts. The Sun Moon Star Sealed Formation appeared for the first time on Holy Demon Land. This was also the first time for the God of Devils, Moon Devils God, and Star Devil God to join hands together. They were all very clear that once that rune fell on Long Haochens body, he would be killed for sure even if he was a god. It was because this formation was made to kill a god. It had another name called Killing God Formation. The seventy-two Devil God Pirs did not belong to this world. But then why did they appear? Only the Devil Gods themselves knew. After six thousand years of evolution, the Devil Gods that ranked low did not know the truth of the past. But the God of Devils, Moon Devil God, and Star Devil God who ranked in the top three knew it very clearly. The three Devil God Pirs appeared in mid-air once they started to swirl, who were connected by sun, moon, and star in the sky. The huge rune shone more brightly. At this moment, purple golden color and crystal white color stood out. Long Haochens moved rapidly in the air and first found Vashak. Though Agarez was stronger than Vashak, Long Haochen had more fear for Vashak, mostly due to what he had experienced in the Star Devil Tower. Vashak was not afraid at all because he did not believe that Long Haochen would attack them three when trapped in Sun Moon Star Sealed Formation. He experienced the formation before and killed a god using it in the world of Devils. Long Haochen might be really strong, but Austin Griffin did not fully wake up. And Long Haochens level was far away from a real god. The Armor of Eternity and Creation on Long Haochens body started to give out the sound of cracking. Though it was only an illusion, one could see how scary the pressure of the formation was. Long Haochen ran towards Vashak with all efforts as if that triangle could not interrupt his judgement at all. The next moment, Vashak felt a strong sense of coldness covering all over his body. No, this is impossible. Even something that Long Haochen could not believe happened. The shadow shed across. The orange light dimmed in the sky. Long Haochen was trapped in the formation and disappeared instantly. His body shed by the side of Vashak in a beautiful swift movement and arrived quietly hundreds of inches away behind Vashak, which was hundreds of inches away from the formation The God of Devils was shocked, and so was Agarez. Vashak seemed as if he still could not believe it. He murmured, My prophecy was correct. The wrath of Heavenes. I-I He then stopped talking and his young face suddenly grew old and next second he became a very old man. When thest trace of livelihood disappeared in him, Vashak turned to ashes and disappeared in the sky. Only his crown of the Devil God shone and turned to star light, entering into his Devil Pir and disappeared. All the strong humans were shocked at what they had seen. What power is this! Is their Federation head still a human being? By his own power, he did not only keep the God of Devil as his opponent, and now even killed the Star Devil God under the circumstance of being attacked by three Devil Gods at the same time. He broke through the formation made by three gods sessfully. Could a human do this? No matter whether they believed it or not, the Star Devil Pir in the sky dimmed, meaning Vashaks death. Vashak was dead. Feng Xiu and Agarez all looked terrified. Then the Hao Yue Sword in Long Haochens hand gave out strong purple light and a strong crushing force burst out from the weapon. What Long Haochen did not notice was that in the center of the swords edge, a gleam of grey light shed across. The attack he just gave Vashak, he learned it from Xiao Huo. It was the second sword skill of all three skills, named Instant Youth. Its original name was Instant Divine Time. But Long Haochen mixed his own skill of controlling life process into it and gave it a more suitable name, Instant Youth. The Star Devil God was killed because of the loss of youth. But Long Haochen never expected hisbative skill to reach this level, which did not seem to be true. The moment he just gave his attack, he felt clearly that the sword of eternity and creation did not give much power and the power all came from the Hao Yue Sword in his right hand. Hao Yue was connected with him by will. And he could understand his skill. That perfect attack he gave just now could be said as the strongest attack he ever had given in his life. Subconsciously Hao Yue Sword waved in the sky, giving out a crushing force which filled all over the sky. The huge rune started to copse without Vashak. And when the purple light of Long Haochens sword touched upon it, the explosion urred, which seemed to tear the sky up. Feng Xiu and Agarez fell down to the ground almost at the same time. They both looked a bit in despair. This strongest Devil in the Devil n for 6,000 years now felt desperate. Long Haochen did not have time to think why his own power became so strong. He issued another attack to Feng Xiu without hesitation. Long Haochen liked Agarez because he and his organization provided the information to the Temple Federation and led to their victory in the southeastern battle and Wan Shouguan. And he knew that he would not be able to fight this Holy War so easily without his help. What was more important was the death of Feng Xiu. If he could kill the God of Devils, the Holy War could end and the dark age of the Holy Demon Land could end! Long Haochen turned to a gleam of purple golden light and fell down. All the Temple Federation members and Devils looked at it holding their breaths. The Devils looked with fear and the humans looked at it with surprise. Is Feng Xiu going to die? Suddenly a sharp shout rang up at Yu Longguans tower. No! You cannot kill him! The whole battlefield was big with hundreds of level nine strong men fighting here, which expanded meters away from Yu Longguan. But everything quieted down as Long Haochen attacked the God of Devils. And the scream broke the silence. If it was just a random voice, it would not influence Long Haochens decision. But he was so familiar with this voice and the people who shouted just now jumped from the tower. Long Haochen was the leader of humans but he was also an ordinary man! It was important to kill the God of Devils but for him, his mothers life was even more important. The purple light changed its direction instantly and reached the white figure who just jumped down from the tower. He took her and fell on the ground slowly. It was Bai Yue who screamed just now to stop Long Haochen from killing the God of Devils. When Bai Yue saw the three God Devils attacking Long Haochen, her eyes were full of despair. But the fight changed so quickly, and his son soon gained the upper hand and broke through the formation. Bai Yue understood that she should not shout. She should have let Long Haochen kill the God of Devils. But the emotion she held inside her heart for several decades could be hidden no longer. She almost lost her mind when she screamed and her face was full of tears. When she shouted, she could endure no more pain and jumped. Long Haochen held his mother, who closed her eyes tightly. He was quite positive in his decision to kill God of Devils but just now he started to hesitate. The words that the God of Devils said before the battle lingered on his mind like poison.. Long Haochen, though strong, could not help trembling at this moment. Chapter 860 - The Eight-Headed Purple Golden Hao Yue Sword (III)

Chapter 860: The Eight-Headed Purple Golden Hao Yue Sword (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio A gleam of red light suddenly fell down from the sky battlefield andnded besides Long Haochen and Bai Yue. He took over Bai Yue from Long Haochen and pointed at the God of Devils who fell together with Agarez to the ground, striking out a huge hole on the ground, and shouted, Haochen! Kill him. Be quick. We humans then can finally end the dark age and bring back ournd. It was Long Haochens father Long Xingyu, Knight Temples Sealed Divine Knight of Judgement, who rushed out and took Bai Yue. His face was twitched and even a bit ferocious as if he was suffering from great pain. If the God of Devils had not said those words before the battle began, Long Haochen would not hesitate. But now, his mother jumped from Yu Longguan for the sake of the God of Devils. His heart was tortured. No! No! Bai Yue screamed and struggled in Long Xingyus arms. Haochen. You cannot do this. Anybody can kill him, but not you. You are his Pa! Long Xingyu pped Bai Yue and stopped her from talking. Father. Long Haochen stepped forward and grabbed his fathers hand. Bai Yue was shocked by the p and fell on the ground. She stared at Long Xingyu and trembled. In her memory, Long Xingyu had never talked loudly to her, not to mention pping her. In the deep hole, the God of Devils and Moon Devil God both stood up still with despair. Looking at Long Haochens family, Feng Xius eyes sparkled and he said coldly, Long Xingyu, who granted you the right to p her? Long Xingyu suddenly turned around and looked at the God of Devils. His eyes were filled with strong hatred. Why cant I? I do not care about her past and I even treat it like nothing happened. But why? Why cant she think a little about her own son? Haochen is the chairman of the Temple Federation and he represents the whole organization. In order to stop Haochen from killing you, she chose to jump from the tower and even attempted to say something that shes not supposed to say. Haochens reputation might be ruined forever. The God of Devils said coldly, Reputation? Even if she cannot say it, I might say it myself. The members from two sides that were fighting just now in the sky allnded on the ground. Only a few members were left on the Devils side. In the battle just now, ck fire phoenix issued horrifying attacks. As a result, among all the neen Devil Gods that the God of Devils brought with him, except for himself and Agarez, only six were left. And all races of Devils were badly hit. Though Long Haochen had not defeated the God of Devils yet, the Devils suffered a great loss, not to mention that Long Haochen had killed Star Devil God Vashak. The chairman of the Federation who led you to break through the darkness has my blood. The God of Devils cold voice rang up in each ones ears. The rest of the Devils and Federation members were all shocked. If the Federation members had not seen what happened between the Long Xingyu couple just now, they would not believe their enemy God of Devils and would only take his words as war tactic. But now from Long Haochen and the couples facial expressions, they realized that what the God of Devils said might be true. Long Xingyu trembled violently and he turned around to Bai Yue suddenly. He could not control his anger. Are you satisfied now? With what Haochen is going to suffer? Why? Why do you have to do this? I let it go. Why do you have to say that Haochen is his son? Do you know that in Xinchengs Star Devil Tower, Feng Xiu already killed Haochen once! Why? I loved you for so many years. In this world, the women that I cherish are only you and my mother, who passed away a long time ago. I forgave any mistakes you made in your life. But you always remember him in your heart. You even want to sacrifice yourself for him. I do not understand what I did wrong, to let you be so cold-hearted. When Haochen returned from the Devil n and participated in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple, I even started to treat him as my own son. But why do you have to break my heart? Why? Bai Yue struggled to get up with eyes widely open. She lifted up her right hand and pointed towards Long Xingyu. She was so excited that she could not help trembling, as if she was going to copse anytime. Long Haochen stepped forward and held his mothers arms. He infused his own power of life into his mothers body and stabilized her. He did not want to face all these but it happened. He had just decided that no matter what, he could not let the God of Devils go like this. This was rted to millions of peoples future! If he did not use this chance to kill him, he might not be able to do it again. He continued to tell himself that the blood of the God of Devils was lost forever when he was killed by the God of Devils in Star Devil Tower. Now he was only his enemy! Out of everyones expectation, Bai Yue stood up and could not utter a word with her finger pointing towards Long Xingyu. And she suddenly lifted her arm and pped him. You bastard Out of anger, Bai Yues pretty face was a little twitched. On one side of her pretty was the palm print of Long Xingyu. I? Bastard? Long Xingyu was stunned. He thought about her reaction when he spoke out this fact, but he never thought she would act like this, to p him. The God of Devils was shocked when hearing what Long Xingyu said. He then got super angry and scolded him, What are you then if not a bastard? Why do you say that your own wifemitted incest and your son is anothers son? Who can be more foolish than you in this world? Long Xingyu was shocked and his mind was nk. The God of Devils said his own son? And what did he mean by mitting incest? What on earth happened? Smart man he might be, he could not figure it out. Bai Yue suddenly burst into tears. I am willing to die for him because I have half of his blood. He is my father! Haochen is your son. How can you doubt my loyalty? You must have been thinking in this way for decades. Everybody was shocked. This was too chaotic. Many did not understand what happened. Mom. What is it? Long Haochen asked his mother eagerly. Bai Yue looked up at Long Haochen with tears flowing out. Haochen, I did not see that your father would think like that. No wonder he left you behind at Ao Ding Town to train you. I asked him so many times but he refused to take you back. He even disappeared for a long time. No wonder. He thought that I betrayed him, that you are not his son. Long Xingyu stood there frozen and could not utter a word. He only felt like his heart was oppressed under a huge stone and he could not breath. The thing he suffered for twenty years now turned out to be a misunderstanding. This was too much a pain for him. He could not ept the fact. The God of Devils looked at Long Haochen with a depressed face. His heart was full ofplicated feelings as well. The war was almost at the end. He was clear that with the assistance of Austin Griffin, he could not defeat Long Haochen. He listened to Bai Yue on one hand and had to think about his current situation at war on the other hand. Bai Yue stood up straight with Long Haochens help and said with a trembling voice, Long Xingyu, it is you who ruined Haochens reputation, or me? How can you say that he is not your own son? Long Xingyu answered, He has a great gift very different from others, which is clearly a sign of the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon. Besides, he does not resemble my appearance. Bai Yue said coldly, Son resembles his mother. Whats wrong with that? Why dont you talk about his attribute of light? Could that be from the God of Devils? Your heart was tainted with jealousy and you saw your own son as your enemys son. You even think that Im not loyal to you. You do not trust me. Long Xingyu said with a broken voice, I thought you were dead after the Devil n took you for one year. When I found you at Ao Ding Town, you were with Haochen. I started to think that Hao Chen was not my son since then. Bai Yue took a deep breath and tears dropped across her face. She cried with a shaking voice, Y-You fool. If you have doubts, why dont you ask me? Why? Long Xingyu almost cried as well, How can I ask that question? I love you so much and I do not want you to suffer even a bit of pain. How can I ask a question like that? And you never seemed to want to say anything, so I Long Haochen felt like he was thrown to the ground and then lifted up to the clouds. He now finally understood that this was a misunderstanding. He was not the God of Devils son, but his grandson.. His mother was the daughter of the God of Devils and the Po he defeated was actually his uncle. Chapter 861 - Long Haochens Mystery Of Family Background (I)

Chapter 861: Long Haochens Mystery Of Family Background (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Bai Yue calmed down. She turned around and hugged Long Haochen tightly. Im sorry, Haochen. Im so sorry. I shouldnt have kept it as a secret. I almost made a big mistake. Its me who put you in such pain for all these years. After Long Xingyu trained Long Haochen for two years, Long Xingyu took Bai Yue with him and left Long Haochen. All these years he could only rely upon himself without parents love or care. If not for his good luck, he might already have died somewhere. Long Xingyu and Bai Yue did not help him much when he was growing up. Long Haochens body trembled slightly. He grew a tough mind after more than ten years of training. But now his heart was filled with pain. He realized that his own father never treated him like his own son. Then what was his purpose to train him? To have him kill the God of Devils and to be on the y of Son Kills Father? Long Haochens heart was filled with bitterness. Long Xingyu was hurt, so was Bai Yue. But the one who got the most hurt was Long Haochen! He had parents but was never taken care of by them, and was even doubted by his own father as a bastard. He was not an orphan but almost lived like one. But at least an orphan did not have any hopes about their parents. However, he had hopes that were treaded upon. Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen looked up to the sky and tried not to let his tears drop down. He took his mother in his arms and said with a broken voice, Mom, I do not me you. You gave birth to me and Im grateful. I do not have the right to me you. I only want to know the truth. Why are you the daughter of the God of Devils? And before I was born, what happened? Bai Yue nodded slightly. Long Haochen did not me her, which made her even more guilty. Alright. Ill tell you everything. My mother, your grandmother, was a pastor and she had a beautiful name called Bai Lingxuan. She was also a member of the Demon Hunter group. Since she was a kid, she had a great gift as a pastor and enjoyed a very good reputation in the Priest Temple. After bing a hunter, she followed the Demon Hunter group to fight with Devils and her practice level kept increasing. A lot of strong Devils were killed by her team. Once they met a strong enemy in a task and nearly all her teammates were killed. Under other members protection, your grandmother escaped. But that soldier who saved your grandmother died as soon as they escaped. At that time, they were still on thend of Devils. She was very strong but she was only a pastor! At that time her spiritual power was gone and was badly injured. She then fainted in a forest after walking for a few miles. The God of Devils said, It was me who saved her. I was patrolling around each ns territory and I felt her human breath. And then I saw Lingxuan. She was badly injured and her face was pale. But I was attracted to her for her elegance and beauty, which waspletely different from my own race. Therefore I did not kill her and ordered other attendants to go away and I saved her. After Lingxuan woke up, I changed my appearance on purpose. With my practice level, she surely could not see through me as a Devil. I told her that I was part of the Demon Hunter group, just like her and my teammates were all killed in the battle. And that I saved her on my way to escape. This was a big secret of the God of Devils and of course he had his own purpose speaking openly about it in front of other strong Devils. Long Haochen felt his strong affection towards his grandmother. Lingxuan was a hunter but she was very naive. She did not doubt me at all. With my help, she recovered and we became friends. She was so beautiful and so kind. In order to earn her trust, and to spend more time with her, I even helped her toplete her task and killed my n people who killed her teammates. She was very grateful and trusted me. Then we both fell in love. Feng Xius eyes were full of sadness. Maybe this rtionship was not allowed. Bai Yue, even now I can assure you that your mother is the only love of my life. Hearing this, Bai Yue cried again and Long Xingyu trembled and almost fell on the ground. Now he understood Bai Yues words. So far he had been suffering from the secret of Long Haochen not being his own son. But now he knew that Haochen was his son but he felt even more painful now. Compared to Bai Yue, he was truly sorry to his son, especially because he The voice of the God of Devils was so soft. The other Devil Gods had never heard him speak this way before. Even Agarez could feel his sincerity in his words. Agarez now realized that he was not the only one who fell in love with a human but the God of Devils, who reigned thend for several hundreds of years, also had feelings for a human and his love towards that woman was even deeper. I apanied Lingxuan in mynd for a whole year and helped her to finish all her tasks. And she fell in love with me too. A man and woman living together for a while and then she became my partner. One day, Lingxuan told me that she wanted to go home and visit her family and friends. And she wanted to tell them about me and would marry me after that. At that time, I did not want to tell her about my real identity. But I did not have the courage because I could feel her hatred towards my n and I knew that her parents were killed by my race in the battle. I could not say it because I was afraid of losing her. I even thought about giving up my throne and just keep faking it. The time I spent with her were the happiest moments in my life. I tried to convince her to stay but she insisted on going back. I did not have a choice but apanied her to the border of the Temple Federation. In her eyes, I was still a human soldier. I told her to go back to the Priest Temple and wait for me, and that I would find her after reporting to my parents in the Warrior Temple. Lingxuan was reluctant to leave me but still she left. I did not know that was thest time I would see her. Feng Xius eyes became wet, and tears were dropping down his face. Bai Yue cried and said, Mom insisted on going back because she had me! She did not tell you because she was shy. You promised that you would marry her after going back to the Federation. She had been waiting for you after returning to the Priest Temple to pick her up. But you did note. Feng Xiu trembled. Right, I did not. At that time, I was thinking what should I do to be together with Lingxuan. At the border, my identity was somehow exposed. Before I could take off my disguise and the seal inside my body which covered my dark aura, I was attacked by two teams who imed themselves as the Demon Hunter group. With my level, I would not be afraid. But the seal Iid was too strong. I did not have enough time to get rid of it. Therefore I struggled in the fight with them. Though I used the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir and escaped, I was still badly injured. That was the only time in my life that I was injured so badly. I could not help but have doubts about Lingxuan because only she was by my side all the time. If not for her who found out about my identity and knew about the seal inside my body, howe such a coincidence of two Demon Huntersing out right after she returned to the Temple Federation? I suffered great pain, both physically and mentally, so I fainted. With my strong healing power, I recovered gradually. But one year had passed after I woke up from thea. The first thought that came to mind was to find Lingxuan. I could not believe that she set it all up. So I wanted to find her and ask her. After I got a little better, I disguised myself and went to the Priest Temple in the Temple Federation, to look for Lingxuan. When I found the Priest Temple, I only saw Lingxuans grave! It turned out to be simply a coincidence that I ran into those two teams who imed themselves to be part of the Demon Hunter group.. Feng Xiu could no longer hold his tears.

Chapter 862: Long Haochens Mystery Of Family Background (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Bai Yue said with nk eyes, After Mom returned to the Priest Temple, she started waiting for you. But I could not wait. Mom had me already and her belly grew bigger and bigger every day. After five months, she could?no longer hide her figure and she told everything to her family. Your fake identity was named Feng Ling, a soldier of Warrior Temple. Mom waited for you for months. You did note but she had your baby. Though her parents were gone, her rtives and seniors helped to inquire of the Warrior Temple and Demon Hunters group but only got the answer of no such person exists.'' She almost freaked out and was so helpless. Nobody could help her. When she died, she didnt even know that the man she loved so much was actually the dominator of the Devil n, ranking top of the 72 Devil Gods, the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Emperor. Not finding you, many people realized that your mother was cheated. They tried to convince her to get rid of me and said that my birth would ruin her life. But she did not because she was so kind. She did not want to have abortion. She said that she would pay the price of her life to give birth to me. After a ten months pregnancy, I was born. But my birth gave my mother unprecedented pain and disaster. My attribute was darkness. I inherited your Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragons blood and your aura of darkness. Mom then realized that the man she loved was actually a Devil. Can you imagine what that meant to her? Due to my dark attribute, the Priest Temple members did not allow me to live in this world. It was all because Im the child of a Devil and I have Devil blood. But no matter what they said, mom did not let them take me away and she guarded me. In order to let me live, she exchanged my blood and attributes with her own. She protected me with her love. Finally I made it and survived with her love. But my body was hurt to some extent. I easily got ill during my childhood and lost any chances of practice. After seeing me live through the most critical moment, she died. With her own blood, she wrote a letter and put it in a little sack and hung it around my neck. After I grew up, I read that blood letter many times. At that time, I did not understand Mothers words. It was not untilter, when you found me and took me back to Devilnd and told me about you and my mother. I then understood it. But I did not tell you about that letter. I did not want to. I wanted you to feel guilty. Because of you, she died at a young age. I hate you, I hate you Bai Yue became so angry and almost fainted in Long Haochens arms. Long Haochen kept pouring the aura of living into her and she kept standing on the ground. The God of Devils asked with nk eyes, Blood letter? A letter? Lingxuan left a message for me? What is it? Yue, tell me. What did she say before she died? Bai Yue took out an old little sack from inside her neckband and murmured, Today Im going to tell you. She carefully took out a white cloth from the sack and apparently this cloth was in an irregr shape as if it was ripped from underclothes. The blood letters turned purple because of the time. Bai Yue read it in a low voice, Yue is our child. Though Im going to die soon, she is going to survive. No matter who you are, in my eyes, you are only Feng Ling, only my Feng Ling. Though you lied to me about your identity, I loved you and I do not regret it. After hearing it, the God of Devils face turned pale. He trembled and stuck the sword into the ground to support himself. His eyes were nk and his heart was filled with sadness. At this moment, even his enemies, the humans, felt sympathy. After reading out the letter, Bai Yue felt relieved and rxed. She turned to her son, folded the letter carefully, and put it inside the sack. She said gently, I grew up in different families and my mother died for me. The seniors were really touched by her story and took on the responsibility to take care of me. Though I could not practice, they cared for me. They never told me about the tragedy of my mom because they wanted me to live happily. If possible, they never wanted me to know it. After all, I was not going to be a professional and would not be in the war with the Devils. When I was 18 years old, I met Xingyu. Although he was much older than me, I admired him as a hero. And he loved me. With the Priest Temples best wishes, we got married at the Priest Temple and settled down inside Yu Longguan. If everything had gone smoothly, we were going to be a happily married couple. I did not want much for my life, only hoping that those I love and those who love me can live happily. And you came into my life when I was the happiest. Bai Yue looked at the God of Devils with a strong hatred. Its you who ruined my life. You felt that aura inside my body and you took me with you by force during a battle between the Devils and the Federation. You took me to your pce. I thought I was going to be killed and I would never get to see Xingyu again. I did not expect myself to be able to survive and I was ready. If you Devils had dared to do anything to me, I would have rather died. I grabbed my hairpin and was prepared tomit suicide any time. Bai Yue gently lifted her hand and stroked Long Haochens face. If not for you, maybe, I would have already killed myself the moment I was taken by the Devils. But I felt about your existence and I did not even have the time to tell your dad. Therefore I could not die, just for you. Even if there was only a little hope, I would struggle to live and give birth to you, just like what Mother did when she sacrificed her own life for me, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you. Mother. Long Haochen held his mothers arm and cried. Then he told me that he was my father. He sensed his own blood in me and saw that great resemnce between my mom and me. Then he had me stay in the Devil n for almost a year. He was kind to me and always shared with me the stories between him and my mother. But because of his lies, I lost my mother and I did not have a father to care for me when I was growing up. How could I forgive him? I am the daughter-inw of the Sealed Divine Knight at the Knight Temple, I am also the daughter of the God of Devils. I did not know how to face your father and I had veryplicated feelings. My belly grew bigger and I would by no means have my baby born among Devils. Therefore I threatened him to send me back to your father. On one side was the Devil who was my father, though I was not willing to admit it. On the other side was my beloved husband. The hatred between humans and Devils could not be solved. How could I have faced it? I could not. I was not able to imagine if one day my father were to kill my husband or if my husband were to kill my father. Therefore I could only run away. After giving birth to you at Ao Ding Town, I decided to stay there. Even though I did not live a rich life, I did not want to face the outside world. I missed Xingyu but I did not have the courage to stand in front of him and tell him that I am the daughter of the God of Devils. Because I loved him so much, I did not want him to suffer this pain. Therefore I avoided him and did not see him for about ten years. He found me thereter, when he had already be a Sealed Divine Knight. When I saw him again, I could not resist my own feelings and agreed to go back with him and tell him about you. Long Xingyu slowly looked up at Bai Yue and Long Haochen. But after seeing you again, I did not believe you. I felt that you were trying to hide something. I thought that you did it for Haochen because he was you and the God of Devils son. Can you imagine how much I suffered at that time? But no matter how painful it was, it could not bepared with my love towards you.. It was because I love you so much that I would rather hide it in my heart than part with you. Chapter 863 - Long Haochens Mystery of Family Background (III)

Chapter 863: Long Haochens Mystery of Family Background (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio At that time, my heart was deep in darkness. Each time I saw Haochen, that pain would grow stronger. Therefore I made a nasty decision. I would take you and Haochen back. But my n was to train him to fight with Devils in future. I thought that he was the son of the God of Devils. Though I liked him for his perseverance and kindness, the pain did not allow me to think calmly. I tried hard to train him to be strong. When I saw him having the attributes of light, I thought for a short time if he was my own son. But we got separated from each other for so many years, I could not see why, if Haochen was my own, why didnt you bring him back to me? Therefore I continued to suffer from my doubts. I trained Haochen for two years and could not bear the pain any longer. I did not even dare to look at his clear eyes. Therefore I took you back to Yu Longguan. I thought that without Haochen by my side, I would feel better. But I soon realized that the pain stayed the same and even grew stronger. Therefore I chose to run away. I wasnt in Yu Longguan for many years. I love you but I could not forget it. Then Haochens gift was revealed and he did so well in selective trials of the Demon Hunter group and became a hunter. I noticed it and followed his progress in doing different tasks. Sometimes I even helped him secretly. The pain turned to ill will. I thought with Haochens light attribute, one day he would be very powerful, so powerful that he could threaten the God of Devils. Then I would let this father and son fight with each other and no matter which one might be killed, my revenge would be done. Long Xingyu closed his eyes with great pain, Haochen, did you know? I was in Modu as well when you entered Xincheng with other Light Dawn Demon Hunter Groups members, ready to go into the Star Devil Tower. I did not stop you because of my hatred. After sensing that you were trapped and I did not go and save you. It was because I wanted to end everything and just let the God of Devils kill his own son. I did not know that I was actually watching my own son die, like putting the cat near the goldfish bowl. How ironic! I do not deserve you, as your father. You were killed and I felt relieved. I felt that everything that bothered me was gone. Therefore I went back to Yu Longguan instantly and I thought that I could finally be together with Yue without any worries. But when I faced her, your figure constantly appeared on my mind. I did not dare to tell her the news that you were killed by the God of Devils because I did not want her to be devastated. I thought that you deserved a death in a Devilsnd as a hunter. But my pain grew stronger and every night I woke up from the nightmare, your smile and your voice calling me dad lingered on my mind. I started to hate myself for my hatred towards you. What reced my hatred was endless guilt. No matter how bad the God of Devils was, you were innocent! I let a child, who has been calling me dad and who trusted me so much, be killed. I could not forgive myself and I even let go of the chance of participating in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple. I was very depressed those two years and my practice level did not increase at all. It only stayed at its old level. But what could I do even if I realized my own mistake? Whats done is done. You were dead. Then I suddenly found you leading the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group and arrived at the Holy City and participated in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple. I had aplex feeling. Should I be happy or sad? But soon I found out that I was relieved. I decided then that no matter whose son you are, you have been calling me dad then you are my own son. I tried my best to forget everything and make up to you, to train you. But soon I got the news that you won first ce in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple. I knew then that you surpassed me. Then we reunited and I was so happy. When I saw you again, I felt that I really forgot all the unhappy moments. I was being so silly! For all these years, I treated you as other peoples son and even got you almost killed. Do you know when I saw you and Caier in the film, I teared so many times because I felt guilty. I regretted that I did nothing when you were suffering. If I had stopped your adventure then, everything could be avoided. If I was by your side when you were attacked by the God of Devils and fell in the trap, at least I die together with you. But I did not. I did nothing! I do not deserve to be your father. When you were killed by the God of Devils, I since then was not qualified to be your father. Long Xingyu looked up to the sky and sighed with tears flowing across his face. He looked at Long Haochen and Bai Yue deeply into their eyes and suddenly, without any warning, he rushed towards God of Devils at an extremely fast speed. A violent golden red light lit up behind his back. It was the fire of life of Sealed Divine Knight of Judgment! When Long Xingyu knew that Long Haochen was his own son, his heart was tortured. He did not know how to face his wife and his own son. At that moment, he only wanted death for himself. His running towards the God of Devils, was not hoping to kill him but to kill himself. He did not know how to atone for his mistakes and only wanted to offer his apology by his own death. No, Dad! Long Haochen suddenly shouted. Even with his practice level, he could not stop Long Xingyu. Long Xingyu made up his mind andunched really fast, a speed that reached the peak in his whole life. The God of Devils was still immersed in great pain and did not look up at Long Xingyu. Even so, his practice level would protect him from being hurt by Long Xingyu. A purple figure blocked in front of the God of Devils. A purple light shed, and Long Xingyus body bounced back at an even faster speed like bouncing on a mattress. Long Haochen reached for his dad. It was Agarez who blocked Long Xingyu. Long Haochen tightly held Long Xingyu and suppressed the fire of life that was burning. He said sadly, Dad, dont do this. You cannot. What should I and Mother do if you die? This is all a misunderstanding. If you really want to atone for it, you have to live! Long Xingyu, the powerful Sealed Divine Knight of Judgment struggled to get out of Long Haochens arms and fell on the ground crying. Agarez looked at Long Haochen calmly. Now is not the time for crying, Long Haochen. You have to choose. Do you know why I suddenly changed my mind and chose to fight together with His Majesty against you? Long Haochen was confused and shook his head. Agarez said, Because Austin Griffin did not die. He is ourmon enemy. I cooperated with you because I hoped for assimtion of my race with humans, not elimination. My people cannot survive if Austin Griffin is not dead. Even the other creatures in this world cannot live. Long Haochen, you are the leader of the humans. You have to make a decision now, otherwise everything will be destroyed. Do you understand? Long Haochen trembled slightly and Agarez words of him being leader awakened him. He bit his tip of tongue and the piercing pain woke him up from the sadness. Right. He was the leader. He had to think for all no matter what situation he was in and what difficulties he faced. Now he already defeated the God of Devils, Moon Devil God, and Star Devil God. This was a great chance for humans to break through the darkness. Even if the God of Devils was his grandfather, he had to choose regarding the principle of right and wrong. How many strong human beings were killed by the God of Devils?! The most recent ones were the two Demon Hunter groups with top ranks. The Devil Gods Hunter group was killed by him as well. Whats more, without killing the God of Devils, the dark age would never end. Maybe he would not have this chance next time. Long Haochen gradually calmed down and stared at Agarez. He said with a deep voice, Mr. Agarez, I respect you, because you helped us a lot and made the right decision before. Without your help, we could not have the upper hand in this Holy War and would not have achieved so much. But you changed your mind because of Hao Yue. I cannot agree on it. Hao Yue is my buddy, my brother. I believe that he will never do anything harmful to me.. You said that he is going to destroy the whole world but I believe its just a shocking statement that you made to attract attention. Chapter 864 - God of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Meila (I)

Chapter 864: God of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Me (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Agarez smiled bitterly. I hope it was just a false statement to attract attention. But think about it, do you think that His Majesty would forgive me after I helped him through this? Now is still not toote. Austin Griffin did not wake uppletely yet. Yes, he is your buddy and your brother but once he is awakened, he will be the symbol of ruin and no one can stop him, not even God! I know you dont believe me now. But since you already gained the upper hand, His Majesty and I cannot hurt you now. Can you then spare me just a few minutes and listen to a story? Long Haochen hesitated and nodded his head. Go ahead. Agarez drew a deep breath. The story dates back to 7,000 years ago. It was a ne that was quite simr to Holy Demon Land, though creatures might be different. The dominator was also humans. Many wars urred but generally could be controlled by humans. Until one day, when a strong power came and changed all that. It was Austin Griffin. When he first appeared, he only had three heads and was weak. For humans, he was just a rtively strong Devil beast. A few people even tried to kill him but he managed to escape. As time went by, Austin Griffin started to evolve and then it had the fourth head, and then the fifth. It was because he had experience fighting with humans before that he learned to endure silently and hid himself in a safe ce deep in the forest and quietly improved his level. When he again appeared in front of humans, he already had six heads and six attributes. Then his power became so strong that an average strong human could not defeat it. Austin Griffin started to kill people for revenge. But he remained wise and did not confront the tough with toughness and kept improving his practice level. After 100 years, the eighth head grew out. He then realized that the power he had was strong enough so he started to use that terrifying destroying power. Almost nobody could rival him. After several attempts to kill Austin Griffin failed, humans started to worry about him. All the strong humans gathered in that ne and tried to kill him. Finally in a valley, they cornered him andunched the attack. The Eight-headed Austin Griffin was very strong but humans came in big numbers. After fighting for two days and two nights, Austin Griffin was defeated and was badly injured. But he again managed to escape. And the humans were wrong to let it run away because that gave the chance to Austin Griffin to kill all creatures in that ne. Austin Griffin escaped and found a ce to recover and it took him 100 years. Then he realized that his strength was not enough to conquer the whole ne so it hid itself and practiced diligently. After around 100 years, he finallypleted itsst breakthrough and woke up. Thus he appeared again on thend and this time as the incarnation of ruin. Agarezs eyes were filled with horror. This story passed down in the Devil n for generations. Though he never experienced it himself, he was still scared by it only by imagination. The God of Devils lowered his head and said nothing, simply listened to Agarez. Ruins, endless ruins. When Austin Griffin appeared again on that ne, the wholend was immersed in that terrifying attack. Austin Griffin was too strong and no creature could fight against him. With his attribute of ruin, no creature could defend themselves. And after about one month, all creatures of one third of thend were killed. nts, Devil beasts, and average animals all turned to nothing in his ruin aura. One third of thend, but no living creature was left. The human race felt threatened. At that time there were quite many strong humans and over ten of them reached half-god level, but restricted themselves not to enter a higher level. The number of strong men in that ne was much more than what we have now in Holy Demon Land. About ten of them were at the level of His Majesty. They tried to send the best man to fight against Austin Griffin and failed without exception. Austin Griffin had already be an unconquerable symbol. Even a real god could not defeat it. In order to stop him from killing more creatures, for the future of humans, all strong men gathered. About 10,000 people collected the most precious resources and fortune and created a formation against Austin Griffin within one month, when he was marching further on thend. On the day when the formationpleted, those 10,000 people all died and their blood and spirits gave the power to the formation, which was called Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky. During that one month, Austin Griffin ruined another one third of thend. Over half of the creatures were killed. He then finally arrived in front of the formation, but he was too proud, so much that he did not know what power he was confronted with. He finally fell in the formation and was sealed, not being able to break it at all. Agarez looked deeply into Long Haochens eyes and said in a low voice, Austin Griffin was so proud that he would not allow himself to be sealed like that. He was not reconciled to be in a prison like that. The formation consisted of 72 divine weapons. At the core position were three Imperial Weapons. They formed a huge cage. After many attempts to break through the cage failed, Austin Griffin made a movement that killed all humans and creatures. And he himself turned to ashes together with the formation. He used his huge body and hit on the formation violently. Atst, the formation was broken but his body turned to pieces. The terrifying crushing force swept over the wholend and all creatures were killed in that disaster. The formation was broken into pieces and the space was torn open. The 72 divine weapons that formed the formation turned to 72 cage pirs, shuttled back and forth in space and finally entered another ne, which is the Holy Demon Land. All strong men were shocked at this information. The dark agested for over 6,000 years and they never knew the Devil ns origin. Agarez gave them the answer to the question of why they appeared on the Holy Demon Land and why they were so powerful. Yes. You guessed right. These 72 pirs came to thisnd and were called by you as the Devil God Pirs. And the spirit on those pirs was called Devil God by you. And His Majesty was my ancestor! It was because the ne was different that the 72 pirs came with great power. When they fell on thend, they gave out an aura of assimtion and then the Devil n was born. Therefore, the chief criminal who brought you all into this dark agesting for over 6,000 years lies in your right hand. The symbol of ruin and crushing, the God of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Me, Austin Griffin. Agarezs sharp voice shocked Long Haochen and he had to believe it. He felt like he saw the ne where Hao Yue came from, the ck and red world filled with ruin and dirty breathing, the full attack issued by all humans who so desperately wanted Austin Griffin to be killed. Though he did not want to admit it, he knew that Agarezs words might be true. Otherwise why would he and the God of Devils be so afraid of Hao Yue? And why the 72 pirs that nobody could break could not defend against Hao Yues power? All these questions found answers in Agarezs story. No, this is impossible. I washed Hao Yues dark attributes with my blood. He is no longer the Austin Griffin before. Hes only my Hao Yue. Agarez nodded and said, Yes. He is not Austin Griffin. The God of Heaven Wrath was destroyed. But when he broke the formation, he said that he would be back. He has nine lives. He woulde back again.. I do not know how you take him here but you are cherishing a snake in your bosom. Chapter 865 - God Of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Meila (II)

Chapter 865: God Of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Me (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio What difference does it make even if you have washed away his dark attributes? His origin is not darkness but ruin. Do you understand his title God of Heaven Wrath? He is the wrath of God, someone who can destroy all nes. His existence is for ruin and crush. ording to my ns historical record, Austin Griffin is the dark side of the God of Creation, or the twin brother of the God of Creation. Once he is fully awakened, no power can destroy it. The Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky does not exist now. After the formation was broken and turned to Devil God Pirs, it can never go back to its original state. Whats more, a few of the pirs were destroyed by Austin Griffin. Long Haochen, if you really care about the human race and this ne, then you have only one choice. That is to kill Austin Griffin before it grows out another head. This is the only chance. Otherwise once his head of ruin appears, he will again be the God of Heaven Wrath and do what he did before. The Holy Demon Land would be destroyed and not only us Devils and you humans, all the creatures in this world, even nts, the stars will be destroyedpletely by him! Haochen, dont trust him. Long Tianyin stood up. He was bluffing. Dark age should end now. What are you hesitating about? Hearing Long Tianyins words, Long Haochen refreshed his mind. He started to believe in Agarezs words but he really hoped that it was not ture. Agarez smiled bitterly. I do not hope to be able to walk away from here alive after telling all these to you. Long Haochen, believe it or not, you can kill us all first and then Austin Griffin. I only beg you after my death, you can help to preserve my organization and n and keep them safe from the God of Heaven Wrath. Its toote. Feng Xiu who was so quiet before suddenly looked up. He seemed to grow much older within these few minutes. His eyes dimmed and he drew out the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword from the ground. Agarez, dont you see? Austin Griffin has already woken up. Otherwise how could he break our formation of sun, moon, and star when he was only eight-headed. That formation was the core formation of the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky. We would have already seeded if he did not wake up. The moment we fell down from the sky, the ending was doomed. We cannot stop him. Austin Griffin is back. Long Haochen was stunned by the God of Devils words. He looked down at the eight-headed Hao Yue sword in his hand. A humming rang up in his hand and then Hao Yue sword turned to a gleam of purple golden light rocketing into the sky. Thank you for your greeting words. God of Devils, is it? You were the head of those little survivors. What an interesting story and how touching. I did not want to interrupt you but you asked me out. Why in such a hurry? I wanted to see what choice would my master make. The cold voice was mixed with humor. Purple golden lights beamed. The next moment, the whole sky turned to elegant purple filled with crushing force. And in the ce where the Hao Yue sword was suspended in the air,?a figure gradually appeared. He had long purple hair and a luxurious purple robe and a nice figure. But his eyes were dead grey. And he somehow looked the same as Long Haochen. With both hands folded on his back, this young man with purple hair fell on the ground. He smiled slightly. Hi everyone. Whether you like it or not, Im here, Austin Griffin. You can call me Hao Yue as well. You like to tell stories then how about listening to my story? Seeing this young man, Agarezs face turned pale. Feng Xius eyes sparkled as if he made some decision just now. And the next moment, his eyes returned firm. Long Haochen looked at the young man with nk eyes. He murmured, You are Hao Yue? Hao Yue smiled in the same style as Long Haochen. He looked at Long Haochen gently. Of course, my master. Im your Hao Yue! You look perfect. I feel proud to have the same appearance with you. Long Haochen had a sinking feeling. Hao Yue became different in his way of talking and his attitude from what he used to know, as if he changed a different soul. This proved Agarezs words. Hao Yue did not care about how others thought about him. He smiled and said, Master, no need to worry. I will never hurt you because you are my master and you saved me. Now everyone please listen to my story and be quiet. The sky seemed to be crushing down and everyone felt a terrifying pressure both Devils and humans. Nobody could utter a word. I was born at the very beginning of the world,?a big explosion Hao Yue was trying to remember the past. He had a simr voice with Long Haochen, only a bit more vague and less firm. After the explosion, I started to grow consciousness and another consciousness appeared at the same time. He was much stronger than me. I began to have a great power after consciousness appeared. The other one was called Creation. I was too weak at that time and I could only depend on him and saw him creating the world. He secretly made many nes and he bestowed life to all creatures in each ne, like nts, animals, and etc. He made them to be creative. Creation told me that his most satisfying work was a race called humans. Although humans were not strong, Creation gave part of his creative power to the race and humans started to create and study since then. Creation said that one day humans would break the restrictions of nes and bring the power of creation to a further ce. I dont know why, but I hated his tone and his creation. Though he was much stronger than me and he created many nes, his power consumed very fast until his death. He left behind his aura and created many things but he was doomed to die. But unfortunately before his death, he left a seal on my body and sealed my soul so that I could never reach his level. He even said that my nature was ruin, the twin brother of himself. He did not want to destroy me but also would not want me to ruin his creation. What a fool! But how could hepletely seal my power? I transformed myself to one of the creatures that he made and used the process of the creature evolving and gradually resolved the seal. Finally I seeded in one ne. I gained back my power and found my original body. I am the God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me, Austin Griffin. Hao Yues eyes were filled with pride and authority. The humans felt even more worried now, because they were expecting to end the dark age soon. The God of Devils was scary enough, but the God of Heaven Wrath who was born as the twin brother of God of Creation seemed to be even more frightening. How could they defeat him? When my ninth head woke up, I regained the feeling of ruin. At that time I thought no power could stop me. Creation is dead and Im now the master of the world. All nes shall groan under my feet. That bastard created things? Then Ill destroy all his creations. I wanted to prove that I was stronger and better than him. But, I did not see I would be trapped by humans. I was being careless and too proud, and I fell in the trap set by contemptible humans, the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky. There was a little power of Creation in that formation. No matter how hard I tried, I could not break that cage. But Im the terminator of all nes, God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me, Austin Griffin. How could humans trap me that simply? They could only dream about me being killed by them. I would never admit failure to tiny humans. Therefore I used up all my strength to break that cage. Finally I made it. The power of Creation was only a trace of breath left behind by him, not his original body. He was dead long ago and could not stop me. I dont mind dying for once because I will be reborn. By my great power of ruin, even when I died, I destroyed that ne and made it a world of ruin. Even when I reincarnated in that world, I still evolved and absorbed the power of ruin to my body again. When the ninth head grew out again, the power of ruin would arrive in thisnd.. Ill continue with my n and destroy everything Creation made. Chapter 866 - God of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Meila (III)

Chapter 866: God of Heaven Wrath, Nine-Headed Qi Me (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Hao Yues pride soon turned into anger. He was very angry. But, I never expected that in that ne of darkness and fire, under the circumstance that all living creatures and nts were killed, appeared the Undead. They did not need food and water to live, unlike humans. They did not even need light. But they held a grudge against me and even dared to kill the most respected Austin Griffin. My reincarnation failed because of their continuous interruption, and my power origin was consumed during the process. I knew that if the ninth time of reincarnation were to fail again, then I would be gone forever like Creation. I would not let that happen. I could not! Then I only had a few chances of reincarnation. Again those dirty Undead creatures followed after me and tried to kill me. Right at that moment, a gleam of hope covered my body and took me to another world by force, a world full of light. Then I thought that I finally got the chance but who knows after too many times of incarnation I turned very weak and also because I kept quiet in the darkness for too long, I could not adapt to the power of light. I felt like my life was passing by and I was going to die but then I saw a pair of eyes, clear eyes. A little human, dripping his blood on me and helped me to adapt by using his blood. He gave me the power to go out of the darkness little by little and pushed out all the dark aura outside of my body. Atst I turned to the light. I felt so warm with his blood and sofortable which I never felt before. Then I grew the second head, head of light. And my original head kept the attribute of fire. That young man, my master, was in danger because of helping me to change attributes. I then infused my own noble blood into his body and nurtured him. I even had a contract with him that I never expected, the strongest contract made by Creation, blood contract. Howe? I did not understand. After I woke up and thought about everything we went through together, I did not understand why I would do that. But still I was very grateful to him. After all he gave me the chance to be reborn and let me be Austin Griffin once again. Finally Im back. And the young man who gave me this chance was you, my master, owner of the light attribute, of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, chairman of Temple Federation, Sealed Divine Knight of Glory, and Leader of Knight Temple, Long Haochen. My body sealed all my memory deep inside the consciousness. When my consciousness woke up as the ninth head grew out, I found out that you gave me warmth and happiness, the emotion that did not belong to me at all. It was a very different feeling. Therefore Master, no matter who I would kill and which ne I will destroy, I will never hurt you. I hope to experience the same feelings that you gave me. My new body now started to be afraid of a feeling called loneliness because of your existence. I have be so different now. I love you, my master. Lets join hands and travel around the world made by Creation. One day I would turn all the nes to my world of ruin and make them all my territory. You must be surprised to see that I evolved so fast. This is all because of my master! His development promoted mine. And at a few critical moments, he protected me from those hideous Undead and thus I had the chance to grow the eighth head. I am also grateful to you for my waking up, my master. You brought me to the Domain of Eternity and let me find my seed, the seed of the Tree of Destruction, which to some extent was the other self of my soul. With it after a period of isted training, I finally broke through thest hurdle and woke up. The God of Devils is right, if not for my awakening, it would not have been easy to resolve their seal by the power of an eight-headed Austin Griffin. But now everything has be simple. No power can stop me now. I had to say that the ne we are on now is much worse than the ne that created the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky. No power can stop me in this ne. What a beautiful feeling of full awakening. Ayer of crystal white light beamed from Long Haochens Armor of Eternity and Creation, resisting the pressure from Hao Yue. Since he had Hao Yues blood in his body, the pressure on him was at the lowest level. Hao Yue, you want to destroy this ne? Long Haochen asked with a deep voice. Hao Yue smiled and said, I told you everything, so you should understand now! Im the God of Heaven Wrath, not the God of Creation. Since I have woken up now, I want to do something. Why not destroy this ne since three quarters of thend were controlled by Devils? Dont worry, I will kill all Devils and then eliminate humans. Long Haochens eyes were full of pain. He said, No, you are no longer my Hao Yue. You are not Hao Yue nodded his head and said, Of course. I was not the Hao Yue who followed all your orders. Im Austin Griffin, the God of Heaven Wrath! Did you not hear what I said just now? Before I woke up, my body had eight consciousnesses, each having their own mind. After I woke up, all the consciousnesses became one and were fully controlled by me. Thats why the ninth head was called the head of ruin, head of Heaven Wrath. I am the real God of Heaven Wrath now. But the emotions you brought to me still exist and I will not hurt you, but only you. In future I will take you to destroy another world and I do not care about other humans. I hate them. Creation should be proud of the humans he made. Even me the great God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me was killed by humans for once. But only once. My master, dont you understand? Wait and see how I destroy the Devil n that you hate the most. Long Haochen. The God of Devils voice rang up and he tried to resist Austin Griffins power. Long Haochen turned around to look at the God of Devils. They looked at each other and he saw many things in the God of Devils eyes. The message from his soul told Long Haochen about his intention. Long Haochens body trembled out of anger. He turned around and lifted up the Sword of Eternity and Creation towards Hao Yue. Hao Yue, I took you to this world. If you want to destroy thisnd, kill me first. He fluttered his wings and turned to a gleam of light shing towards Hao Yue. Long Haochen could not believe it. His most trusted important partner was going to betray him and even became the Devil that was going to destroy this ne. Hao Yue had be even more scary than the God of Devils and Devil n. But Long Haochen still had hope that Hao Yue would not hurt him. Austin Griffins eyes were full of disdain. Master, do you not understand? Do you really think that you defeated the God of Devils by yourself? How can you fight with me if you could not even defeat him? I call you Master. Do you really think then you are my master? Austin Griffin lifted up his left hand in the direction of Long Haochen. Suddenly a scary aura appeared around Long Haochen and prohibited him from moving. Austin Griffin said coldly, The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation you have I hate it because it has a trace of Creations breath. If not for your protecting me to evolve from six-headed to eight-headed, do you think I would that easily grant you the thrones recognition? Now it is useless, let me destroy that trace of breath left by Creation first. Austin Griffin clenched his right fist and a bundle of purple lights shot out towards Long Haochen. A sharp thunder sound rang up on the ground and Sealed Divine Throne of Doom and ughter suddenly exploded on Long Xingyus body and broke through the pressure from Hao Yue.. He shed across and stopped in front of Long Haochen, putting his arms around him and blocked the purple lights from Hao Yue with his back. Chapter 867 - Hao Yue Strikes Back (I)

Chapter 867: Hao Yue Strikes Back (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Long Xingyu and Long Haochen faced each other and Long Haochen saw a trace of relief in his fathers eyes. Long Xingyu smiled. Even with the protection of the Sealed Divine Throne of Doom and ughter, he could not defend against Austin Griffins attack, especially since he had used up the power of the throne just now to reach Long Haochen. Without any protection, under Austin Griffins attack, he was doomed to be killed. However, Long Xingyu was smiling without any regrets and even was a bit excited. It was because he finally did something for his son, even if he had paid for it with his own life. No! Long Haochen screamed and the nine lines of purple golden marks lit up suddenly. He struggled out of Hao Yues pressure and held his father by both hands. His body turned 180 degrees in the air. Long Xingyus smile froze and the next moment, that bundle of purple lights hit hard on Long Haochens back. Bang! Long Haochen shook violently in mid-air while he pushed Long Xingyu away back to the ground. Without support from the Sealed Divine, he could no longer run away from Hao Yues pressure. The Armor of Eternity and Creation beamed with a bright white light and the purple bundle shot out by Austin Griffin seemed to melt into this white light. Loud thunder sound rang on Long Haochens body and the armor started to crack. If the purple lights were to continue to attack, then this Imperial Weapon would be ruined forever! Austin Griffins strength was unimaginable. As Agarez said, even a real god would not be able topete with Austin Griffin. Long Haochens body trembled and the power of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and the Sword of Eternity and Creation suddenly turned to thirteen bundles of lights and returned to origin, then being absorbed by Long Haochen into his body. He could not afford to have this Imperial Weapon to be destroyed. Maybe this would be hisst hope at some point. Long Haochen took action the moment he took back the throne. He spread his arms on two sides and two gleams of purple lights spread quickly in his hand and turned to two heavy swords, which were transformed from his own spiritual power. And this power did not only include Hao Yues breath but also the power of light, which transformed to the strongest weapon Long Haochen could make right now by his spiritual power. Then, Long Haochens body turned to a gleam of purple light running towards Hao Yue. The glow on his body turned to purple golden colorpletely and the pressure from Hao Yue could not affect him at all. In order to fight against Hao Yue, Long Haochen activated Hao Yues power inside his body. And only with Hao Yues blood, could he fight against Hao Yue. Long Haochen naturally improved his level really fast after Hao Yue grew the ninth head due to their blood contract. Only that progress was suppressed by Austin Griffin. Now Long Haochen activated Austin Griffins blood and that part of power burst out, which made his aura very simr to that of Austin Griffin. Long Haochen arrived in front of Austin Griffin like lightning and issued the attack of Eye of Brahma. A huge purple golden eye appeared in the sky. Millions of purple golden lights became one and shoot towards Austin Griffin. Long Haochen realized that Hao Yue was either gone or was eaten up by Austin Griffin the moment he issued attacks. Now in front of him stood the God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me, Austin Griffin, and he was no longer Hao Yue. He was a beast who wanted to destroy everything. He would not let him do that. Even though he knew that he could not rival his power, he still attacked. Long Haochen was calm now and his attack was certainly valuable. Austin Griffin frowned and seemed to be unwilling to fight against Long Haochen. He let the Eye of Brahma hit on his body and did not move. The purple lights shone on Austin Griffin but only made ayer of shiny glow and did no harm to it. Then the purple golden eye instantly transformed to streamer and shed across Austin Griffins body. This was the second strike of Three Strikes of Brahma: Instant Youth, partly original. Before he used it to kill Vashak and now he used it against Austin Griffin. Austin Griffin stood at the same ce and did not move. Long Haochens attacks seemed to make no difference to him. He was only frowning and turned his head to look at Long Haochen. At this moment, the huge bundle of purple lights shone, which was a strange hexagram beaming with purple golden lights. All elements in the air, including Austin Griffins aura, all gathered towards the hexagram rapidly. Long Haochens original body shone brightly and that crushing force seemed to be tearing his body apart. Austin Griffins face turned pale. He moved finally. He shed across and arrived in front of Long Haochen and struck on his chest. Long Haochen smiled as he waited for this move. The hexagram beamed and the final strike of Three Strikes of Brahma: Heaven and Earth atst came out. The purple hexagram became illusory and twitched. It turned to a huge purple whirlpool. Heaven and Earth lost their colors and all returned to one. Meanwhile in the world without the lights of the sun, moon, and stars, a bundle of nine-colored golden light shot out from Long Haochens left hand wrist and immersed in the purple light and then struck towards Austin Griffin. Long Haochens body was pushed on the ground by Hao Yues palm and struck a big hole. But he did not release much offensive power as anyone could see it clearly. Long Haochen bounced back and stood up after hitting on the ground. But Austin Griffin did not seem to be well. His whole body was covered in ayer of nine-colored light and in his chest appeared a small hole. Long Haochen used what he had to the most and issued an Imperial Weapon level attack with Heaven and Earthbined with Lunar Shield. This strong power even hurt Austin Griffin, who was almost invincible. However, just as everyone felt happy about it, the hole in his chest healed like a water wave as if nothing had happened. He looked coldly at Long Haochen standing on the ground. My master, it seems that you do not care about our friendship anymore. What a shame, your power is not enough. I told you that in this ne, nothing can threaten me. You think you can? Long Haochen sighed with sadness. You are right. I cannot hurt you. But you swallowed Hao Yues soul so I will destroy you no matter what price I should pay. You said that Im the chairman of the Temple Federation, Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leader. As the leader of humans, I must protect my people and this ne. Ready, Grandpa? The God of Devils was shocked when hearing Long Haochen calling him Grandpa. He looked at Long Haochen in disbelief but only saw his resolute eyes. The God of Devils lifted up his Anti-Heavenly Sword instantly. As a half god, Austin Griffin could not restrict him from moving by only pressure. The moment he lifted up his word, the whole world seemed to be lit up. The purple in air atst changed. Austin Griffins face turned pale. He finally felt threatened. Then, all the Devil God Pirs lit up. The God of Devils moved and his body suddenly disappeared and the dark golden Anti-Heavenly Dragon Pir expanded in shocking speed. Not only him, but also Agarez did the same and released his own Devil God Pir power. In front of Yu Longguan, the pirs lit up one by one and flew into the air at fast speed. Even the pirs without Devil Gods lit up with the brightest lights. Long Haochens previous attacks were not meant to defeat Austin Griffin as he was clear that he did not have that much strength. Bymunicating with the God of Devils with his eyes and soul, he understood what he should do. He attacked Hao Yue to buy time for the God of Devils to prepare. Nobody would have expected that these two enemies, fighting against each other for 6,000 years, would one day join hands. Austin Griffin got startled as well so he fell into the trap of the God of Devils. Killing, God, Formation, of, Ten, Land, Nine, Sky. Chapter 868 - Hao Yue Strikes Back (II)

Chapter 868: Hao Yue Strikes Back (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The God of Devils sharp scream sounded from the Anti-Heavenly Dragon Pir as if he had be crazy. A dark golden light rushed into the sky and seemed to connect with the furthest point of Heaven. A strong dark golden light covered Hao Yues body and dyed his action. Then the purple moon and orange star light lit up at the same time, which was the power of Moon Devil God Pir and Star Devil God Pir. The three Devil God Pirs formed the core formation of Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky, which locked Austin Griffins body in the center. Meanwhile, the rest of the seventeen pirs rose up and lights connected them together and formed a prisoners cage in the air, which put Austin Griffin inside. Each pir shone a different light and the purple light that belonged to Austin Griffin was broken into pieces in the cage. The Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky was made to defeat Austin Griffin from the very beginning. In the distance, gleams of lights lit up. The Devil God Pirs tore up the space and appeared in front of Yu Long guan. No matter if it was the pirs that guarded the Devil n, or the pirs that followed Samigina and Marbus to attack the Southeastern Fortress and Wan Shouguan, all the pirs came together. This was what the God of Devils had prepared. As the leader of 72 Devil Gods, he wanted to gather all 72 pirs power and use the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky again. Austin Griffin was suspended there quietly. He seemed to be affected by the formation and was kept in the cage. He could only stand by and watch all these pirse from nowhere to form the cage, while he was locked in it. This was the real power of the Devil n, the most terrifying power! This aura it gave out, which none of the strong Temple Federation men could defeat. Long Haochen realized what a big loss Agarezs betrayal meant to the Devil n. As the owner of the Moon Devil God Pir, if he had allied with humans, even the God of Devils would not be able to activate this Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky. That was because it needed an Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir, Moon Devil God Pir, and Star Devil God Pir together. If Agarez had given up, then this formation would not beplete. But would the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky be able to restrict Hao Yue? After all, the 72 Devil God Pirs were still notplete! During the battle between the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group and Devil n, many pirs were destroyed. Austin Griffin had taken precautions. Could the iplete Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky defeat him? Austin Griffin lifted up his right hand with disdain. He stretched his forefinger and shook it. I told you. What happened before will not happen again. I dare to stand here and see you doing this means that Im not scared by your shitty formation, not to mention the fact that its iplete. And what if it is? I failedst time because I went unprepared and that fight was joined by many strong humans activating the formation. After so many years, your formation will not be as strong as before and those strong humans blood and breaths are gone. My master, let me give you a gift now. Let me help you to destroy the foundation of the Devil n. His grey eyes lit up and grey light beamed. Meanwhile, ayer of purple lights spread out from him. The cage suddenly expanded as Austin Griffin changed. Then everyone saw how scary it turned out to be. In the formation, a purple sun seemed to appear and that strong purple lights instantly covered all the colors shone out from the sixty pirs. The purple light did not contract but expanded, and a scary huge body appeared in mid-air, inside of the formation. The God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me revealed its original terrifying body. Previously when the God of Devils showed his original Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon body, he shocked everyone. But nowpared to Austin Griffin, he was only like a three year old child. Ten thousand meters The body was over ten thousand meters! It was like a city appeared in the sky suddenly. Huge scales of ten meters in length covered his body and the four arms seemed to be able to shake Heaven and Earth at any time. A pair of huge wings spread out with a width of ten thousand meters. Out of its huge neck grew nine heads altogether. Long Haochen used to be familiar with each head as he had witnessed their growths before. But now they were like strangers to him. Because in their eyes, the original color disappeared and was reced by the grey color of ruin and craziness. The head in the center was the most unfamiliar one. When Long Haochen first met Hao Yue, only Xiao Huo existed, and then after their blood integrated, Xiao Guang came out. These two heads had been in the center of all heads all the time. But now between Xiao Huo and Xiao Guang, another head appeared. A head that was grey and was almost twice of the size of other heads. Its eyes shot out a strong aura of death and the other eight heads followed suit and changed their expressions. After Xiao Huo and Xiao Guang, other heads followed. Now it was no longer Hao Yue. Although Hao Yue had an integrated body and almost the same mind, he had eight different souls. Now Austin Griffin had only one soul, which represented ruin. Austin Griffins huge body soon filled each corner of the information. And each pir of the formation shone brightly, as they were activated by the God of Devils and Moon Devil God. The scary pressure spread out in the sky. All the strong men of ranks lower than nine were restricted to the ground. Even the strong men of rank nine could barely stand straight. Who could have thought that the holy war after several hours would be like this. The strongest enemy turned out not to be the head of the Devil n, but the mount partner of Long Haochen. How shocking but it was real. The Devil n now all joined hands together to try to seal Austin Griffin. The humans could not help. When fighting together, the Devil n was so scary. No wonder they had no power of creation and could not produce. Their origin was not of any ethnicity or race, but of a scary formation that consisted of 72 divine weapons. The Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky was not something that humans could participate in. And now Long Haochen, who was suspended in the air, did not pay attention to the Austin Griffin that was in the cage. He turned around and looked at his mother Bai Yue, who fainted out of excitement. Caier was by her side and protected her future mother-inw with her power of purification. Caier looked into his eyes as he turned around and somehow her heart lost a beat. Long Haochen looked calm and peaceful and affectionate. Suddenly Caier realized something and her pretty eyes were filled with horror. No, Haochen No. But she could do nothing. With her level, she could not move under the pressure that was from the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky and Austin Griffin. She could only protect herself and Bai Yue with her own domain power. Long Haochen shook his head slightly to her and murmured something to Caier. Though she could only see it, she instantly understood what he meant and tears fell, which were broken to countless small water elements in the air. Long Haochen then turned to his father. Long Xingyu could not move as well. Long Haochen murmured something to him. Long Xingyu understood and he cried. As Sealed Divine Knight of Judgement, he could do nothing now as well. Long Haochen then looked at each member of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group, the strong men and heroes of the Temple Federation. Everyone looked at him with affection and saw resolute will in his eyes. Long Haochen, we cannot hold up any longer. I never thought that you and I will go to another world together.. But I am very d to hear you call me grandpa. Chapter 869 - Hao Yue Strikes Back (III)

Chapter 869: Hao Yue Strikes Back (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The God of Devils voice lingered in the air. Austin Griffin seemed to realize something and started struggling like crazy. The nine huge heads worked like nine Imperial Weapons and were hitting the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky like crazy. The power of the God of Heaven Wrath was so scary that the power of over 60 Devil God Pirs could not rival against it. The pirs started to crack down under the pressure. The central three pirs, Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir, Moon Devil God Pir, and Star Devil God Pir started to crack first. As the cracks appeared, Austin Griffin struggled even harder and that terrifying crushing force seemed to be able to break the restriction at any moment. Long Haochen held the purple golden sword in his hand and looked at the God of Heaven Wrath, whose body was ten thousand meters long and so powerful. He murmured, Hao Yue. I took you to this world, and now Ill take you to another world. And we can be brothers there. Xiaolei,e out. A green light shed, and the Spirit God, Ye Xiaolei instantly flew out from Long Haochens chest. Her little face was full of tears but she had no intention of stopping Long Haochen because she understood that this was the only way. Long Haochen nodded at Ye Xiaolei and said gently, Xiaolei, you have already integrated with my power of light. Even if you do not depend on anyone, you are still the Spirit God and will not die because of the environment changes. Take care. He lifted his right hand and ayer of purple golden light covered Ye Xiaoleis body and protected her from the great pressure from the formation and Austin Griffin, taking her to Caiers side. Maybe this is for the best. Long Haochen smiled and the past was no longer important to him. He had no other choice now despite how unwilling he was to part with those he loved. He lifted up the purple golden sword that was transferred from Hao Yues power of blood and looked deeply at the struggling Austin Griffin. He said coldly, You took away Hao Yues soul, so Ill take everything from you. His purple golden sword flew out from his hand and was casted into the air. The sword turned to a purple rainbow after reaching thirty meters high and fell down, heading towards Long Haochens head! When Long Haochen and the God of Devils stared at each other, he had already decided. With spirit fluctuation, the God of Devils told him that in this world, no power could win over Austin Griffin. Even with the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky, Austin Griffin would not be killed. The only shoring of Austin Griffin was Long Haochen. The blood contract that he signed with Long Haochen was the only restriction and thest chance for them. Therefore, when Long Haochen rose up to the sky and issued a suicidal attack at Austin Griffin, his n with the God of Devils had already started. Long Haochen attack towards Austin Griffin was to buy time for the God of Devils to activate the iplete Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky, which was not to kill Austin Griffin, but to buy time for Long Haochen for his suicidal attack! Due to the blood contract between Austin Griffin and Long Haochen, only Long Haochens death could end the connection between them and therefore kill Austin Griffin. That was why Long Haochen went all out to attack him but it did not hurt Long Haochen. It was not because he was kind but because the blood contract made him dare not hurt Long Haochen. Long Haochen was the only weakness of the God of Heaven Wrath. Now the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky restricted Austin Griffin and therefore he could not stop Long Haochen from killing himself. This formation was backed by over 60 Devil God Pirs and was used to seal Austin Griffin. Though it was iplete and could not do what it had done before, it had enough power to restrict Austin Griffin for some time. And this was enough for Long Haochen. There was only light in Long Haochens heart. He left behind all his thoughts on earthly matters as he was going to leave this world now. No matter how much he was unwilling to, for all creatures on this Holy Demon Land, he had to. This was his only choice. A purple light shed and this crushing force was activated by Long Haochen with all his strength. As long as it went through his head, even if the God of the Deaths, the Scourge of Undead, Electrolux were toe back to life, he could not save his life. Cries rang up from the ground. Although only those strong men from the Temple Federation understood Long Haochens action right now, everyone felt that self-sacrificial spirit. At this moment, he looked so lonely and determined. All those strong men who used topete with Long Haochen were ashamed. He deserved to be Chairman of the Federation. Brother, no! Just at the moment when Long Haochen remained calm and the purple light reached the top of his head, suddenly a very familiar voice rang up from his deep soul. And the purple golden sword which already reached his head seemed to be pulled back. The sword tip cut open his head skin but did not go further. Long Haochen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, Hao Yue! That voice belonged to Hao Yue, not Austin Griffin. Austin Griffin was kept in the formation and could not stop Long Haochen now no matter how strong he was. The one stopping Long Haochen was his own blood power! Long Haochen felt clearly that Hao Yues blood inside his body was boiling and the purple golden sword suddenly turned to a bundle of purple lights and went back inside his body, leaving no harm to him at all. What was more shocking was, high above in the sky, Austin Griffins huge body moved violently and Long Haochen saw a pair of familiar eyes. Those eyes were golden in color, simr to that of light. And the head that those eyes belonged to suddenly lifted up and hit on the grey head in the center. It was Xiao Guang. It was Xiao Guang who shouted at Long Haochen. He was born under the nurture of Long Haochens blood! It got rid of Austin Griffins control and woke up. He hit Austin Griffins neck and kept staring at Long Haochen. In his eyes, Long Haochen saw worry and sadness. And the same emotions rose up from inside his body, that part of Hao Yues blood. Long Haochens suicide awakened the consciousness left by Hao Yue, which stopped the purple golden sword from falling down before causing his death, and it was blood power of Hao Yue. Can this be Austin Griffins tactic? Long Haochen thought about many things within a few seconds. What if Austin Griffin does not want me to die and temporarily wakes up Xiao Guang, so that he can break the formation and control me? If this was the case, with Austin Griffins power, Long Haochen could not win at all. He would then be a puppet of the God of Heaven Wrath. But Xiao Guang proved Long Haochens worry to be wrong. Austin Griffins head of ruin shouted angrily and turned to look at Xiao Guang. Ayer of strong grey light covered Xiao Guang. Xiao Guang then did something that shocked the head of ruin. He opened its mouth and bit off a big piece of scale and skin off Austin Griffins neck. Austin Griffins development included not only the head of ruins but also other heads, which evolved to the level of the God of Heaven Wrath. Xiao Guangs action caused all of that to backfire. The head of ruin screamed out of pain and under his grey light attack, Xiao Guang trembled violently as if he was struggling. The other side a pair of red eyes got rid of the head of ruins control and a strong burning aura exploded and bit at the head of ruins neck. Xiao Huo! Xiao Huo woke up as well. Among all nine heads of Hao Yue, Xiao Huo and Xiao Guang were the closest ones to Long Haochen. One was saved by Long Haochen, the other one was born out of Long Haochens power of blood. Long Haochen was determined to kill himself to destroy Austin Griffin. Xiao Huo and Xiao Guangs consciousnesses thus woke up.. In order to save Long Haochen, they did everything they could to attack the head of ruin. Chapter 870 - The Last Battle (I)

Chapter 870: The Last Battle (I)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Due to the immense pain, Austin Griffins body shook violently, which was still in the control of the head of ruin. The Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky could not stand the pressure anymore. Bang! Thousands of gleams of light exploded and the pirs copsed one after another due to Austin Griffins crushing force. That huge body ran out of the cage of the formation by force. What a terrifying power! Even 60 Devil God Pirs could not control him. However, Austin Griffin now was faced with a greater challenge. Even in the world of ck and red when he was sealed back then, he did not have such a huge problem. The God of Heaven Wrath was different now. Xiao Guang reced the darkness and inside Austin Griffins body flowed Long Haochens blood, the Light Gods blood! The consciousness of ruin was weakened by the blood power. The other eight heads were very close to Long Haochen and had their own wisdom and souls. In the current situation, how could they afford to see Austin Griffin destroy Long Haochen, the one who gave them life and helped them for so many times, their true master, their brother? Brother, dont do this. Let us help you. Voices rang up on Long Haochens mind. Instantly he felt like his blood was boiling and his body was covered with indescribable warmth of family love. He was so touched to be saved by them in such a desperate situation. Long Haochen shouted, Hao Yue! Ill fight together with you! Long Haochen suddenly soared, heading towards the battlefield in the sky. A grey color started to disappear in other heads of Hao Yue except the head of ruin. Xiao Qing, representing wind, woke up then followed by Xiao Lan, who had a butterfly-shaped horn, representing water, Xiao Zi, who had a poisonous chrysanthemum horn, and Xiao Huang with a tomato-shaped horn representing earth, then Xiao Jin representing metal, and Xiao Lei representing thunder. The eight heads shone with different colors and at this moment they all had the same goal, which was to kill the central head, the head of ruin. The head of ruin cried out like crazy and spurted grey breaths. Its huge body was struggling and destroyed even more Devil God Pirs. But the other heads all came together and bit its huge neck. No matter how strong the head of ruin was, under theirbined attack, it could not get rid of their attacks. Big pieces of flesh in blood were torn apart from his body. Long Haochens body did not even go near and was soon bounced back by the scary pressure of the Killing God Formation of Ten Land Nine Sky breaking down. He hit on the ground hard. Without the protection of the Armor of Eternity and Creation, he spurted out a mouth of blood when hr fell on the ground. The other two figures fell at a ce not so far from Long Haochen. All the pirs were crushed into ashes and the scary elemental storm tore up the whole space. The purple color in the sky instantly turned to ck. If the scary storm of elements were toe to the ground, not only Yu Longguan, but the whole Holy Demon Land would be ruined. The recovery of Hao Yues consciousness yed an important part at this critical moment. A nine-colored light shone from that ten thousand meters long body and when the formation broke down, Hao Yue seemed to take control of that huge body. Ayer of strong purple light was released from his body and formed ayer of purple light coat, separating the storm away on the outside and drove it into the crack of the space. The two figures who justnded on the ground were Feng Xiu and Agarez. And the other six Devil Gods were crushed into ashes in the battle just now and died together with their pirs. Long Haochen could clearly feel that although Feng Xiu and Agarez were still alive, their auras were decreasing rapidly. The ruin of the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir and Moon Devil God Pir affected them greatly. Agarezs practice level was rtively low and therefore was injured more badly as if he only had one breath left. He was injured at many different ces and could barely keep himself alive. But at his level, as long as there was one breath left, he would not die. But after his pir copsed, even if he survived, his practice level would decrease rapidly. Compared with Agarez, the God of Devils half-god advantage was revealed even though he was badly hurt and was bleeding everywhere. He crawled out from the deep hole after falling on the ground and stood up almost at the same time as Long Haochen. The God of Devils was very confused and looked at Long Haochen. Howe? Austin Griffin, he Long Haochen looked at the fight between nine heads and murmured, He is not only Austin Griffin, but also my Hao Yue! Hao Yue is my brother and my buddy. My intention to kill myself woke up other heads consciousnesses and Hao Yue is back now. Im going to help him. Long Haochen rose up again but the God of Devils shed and patted his shoulder. Long Haochen turned around and looked at the God of Devils. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other. This was the first time for them to face each other so closely without any hostility. The God of Devils, Feng Xiu, though the Devil God Pirs were all ruined, smiled slightly with indescribable relief. Ill help you. The dark ark aura on Feng Xiu suddenly contracted and he shed across and turned to a gleam of dark golden light, suspending in front of Long Haochen. It was exactly the shape of the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword. Only this sword did not originate from the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pir but from Feng Xiu himself. Long Haochen felt even more surprised because he could not sense any dark aura from the sword. It was especially true for the handle part, which seemed to have no attribute at all. Without much time left, Long Haochen had no weapon to use as the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was almost destroyed by Austin Griffin and could not be used. It could take a long time to recover this Imperial Weapons power no matter how strong its recovering power could be. Long Haochen raised his hand and grabbed the handle of the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword and looked up. The strong light aura mixed with the blood power of Hao Yue made him beam with a purple golden me. His six wings spread out and he soared up into the sky with the sword in his hand in the purple golden me. What good can it do to you? If I were to die, you are all going to die! Austin Griffin cried with anger. The strong grey light was moving and as a scream rang up, Austin Griffins head of ruin was torn apart by the other eight heads. The grey light soon split away and the huge body of ten thousand meters long was shrinking rapidly. The head of ruin was torn away from the body but it would not die so easily because it was the soul of God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me, Austin Griffin. The huge grey head rolled in the sky and soon turned to its human form, just like Long Haochen. Only this time his body had no purple color, and it was only grey and full of crushing force. After biting off the grey head, the other heads looked very tired and under the pressure of crushing force, each head spurted out blood in their own color. However, their eyes were all resolute. Brother, dont let him escape. Kill him. Hao Yues voice rang up on Long Haochens mind. Next moment, his huge body turned to purple lights rushing towards Long Haochen, meanwhile the purple coat that stopped the element storm contracted and formed a huge purple bubble, encircling Long Haochen and Austin Griffin inside. The strong purple light transformed by Hao Yue soon covered Long Haochens whole body and painted him all purple. It was an integration of Hao Yue and Long Haochen. An indescribable strong power filled all over his body and a beautiful purple golden armor covered him. The armor looked simr to the Armor of Eternity and Creation , except its color was more bright. However, there were differences as well. The purple golden Hao Yue armor did not have angel and holy dragons prints. Instead it had Hao Yues eight heads, made from metal. On both shoulders were Xiao Lei and Xiao Jin.. On the chest was Xiao Guang and Xiao Huo was covering Long Haochens chest. Chapter 871 - The Last Battle (II)

Chapter 871: The Last Battle (II)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio The other four heads appeared on Long Haochens belly, waist, and knees. The eight heads all turned purple after transforming to the armor. The only difference between them was their horns and their eyes color. Long Haochen did not feel like he was making any huge progress when he was wearing the Armor of Eternity and Creation. But now as purple golden Hao Yue armor covered his body, he suddenly found himself entering a new level. Divine power! This is Hao Yues divine power. A gleam of purple light extended from his right hand. He soon switched the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword into his left hand. In his right hand now was the eight-headed purple golden Hao Yue sword. Long Haochen had aplex feeling now as he had never expected to enter the divine level. And he could never imagine having both the Hao Yue sword and the God of Devils Sword in his hands! The Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword beamed with a strong dark golden light. Feng Xius voice rang, Haochen, this is our only chance. Austin Griffins body is now separated from his head of ruin, which was the core part of his power of ruin. Kill it, then Austin Griffins ruin power can never be reborn because he purified his body by his own power. Do it now. Seeing the me of the dark golden light, Long Haochen could feel clearly that the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Sword had also reached the divine level. The dark golden me was the me of his life. More importantly, Long Haochen could not feel any dark aura in it. Long Haochen, you cannot, Austin Griffin said with anger. Though he had the same look as Long Haochen, his anger and hatred were different. Your Hao Yue is part of me. And I am the core of God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me. If I die, your Hao Yue would die as well. He devoted so many things for you and you want to kill him? How could you? As long as you dont kill me, I am willing to separate myself from Hao Yue and he will be him and I will be just me. We can be two different things. And I can promise that I will not destroy this ne. Long Haochen trembled violently when he heard, Hao Yue would die as well. Though he guessed it, he could not bear to hear it. Brother, dont listen to him. He has to die. If not, the ruin power would never die. As long as he lives, we will never have freedom. After he recovers, he will swallow us all. If he is dead, then we still have the chance to reincarnate. Kill him now! Feng Xius angry cry rang up. Long Haochen finally made up his mind. The purple light shone everywhere and the strong spiritual fluctuation turned extreme. He now had divine power. A huge purple golden eye appeared in the sky, in which the dark golden me was burning. Austin Griffin was stunned. After being torn away from his original body, he was badly hurt and now he had no power of the God of Heaven Wrath. When he clearly saw the purple golden huge eye, he murmured, Creation, is that you? You are still alive. Are you staring at me now? Next moment, the golden purple Eye of Brahma covered his whole body with strong lights. Three Strikes of Brahma: Eye of Brahma, Instant Youth, Heaven, and Earth. The sky turned purple again. The elegant purple was wrapped in the air of sadness and determination. The grey air was covered by the lights of the purple golden color and dark golden color. A sad cry lingered in the sky. Creation, I hate you! The purple light shone for fifteen minutes and dimmed. The human race and Devil race could finally move without the terrifying pressure. The grey air was gone together with all crushing force. And the Devil God Pirs which reigned over the Holy Demon Land for over 6,000 years disappeared as well. As the purple color dimmed, the sky seemed to be torn apart and a gleam of faint golden color light appeared and then spread out. The clouds and darkness were driven away by the golden light and disappeared. Then a golden sun revealed its face in the light. The first generation of the head of Knight Temple, Eternal Hero, Xiao Huo trembled violently. He was an undead, so bathing in the sun should have given him great pain no matter how strong he was. But now as the light got warmer, he started to sob. Though he had no tears, he was very excited right now. Not only him, but all Eternal Heroes and strong men all gazed at the shiny sun with nk eyes and did not blink. The sun seemed to be telling them that the age of darkness was over and the dawn of light hade. The dark age that ruled in Holy Demon Land for over 6,000 years had ended, finally. The purple golden light fell on the ground gently as if it hade out from the shiny sun. From this moment on, he was not only a legend, but also a hero of legendary and epic poems. He finally led humans to make history, break through the darkness, and kill the ruin power. He was the son of the Light God, chairman of the Temple Federation, the owner of Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Sealed Divine Knight of Glory, and Leader of Knight Temple, an epic hero, Long Haochen. Long Haochennded on the ground. As he was not wearing any mask, everyone could see his handsome face to be very pale. Austin Griffin was killed and humans atst ended the dark age, but he did not look excited at all. He looked sad. Hao Yue! Long Haochen cried out. The eight-headed purple golden Hao Yue sword disappeared as he touched the ground and the Hao Yue armor turned to gleams of purple lights and disappeared. Long Haochen put his hands on his body and tried to grab something but he could not. Hao Yues breath weakened and disappeared into the air. A dark golden light shed across, and the God of Devils appeared five meters away from Long Haochen. The rest of the Devils all came around and protected their strongest emperor in the center. But from all the Devils bodies, a faint ck mist disappeared into the air and their auras weakened rapidly. The seventy-two Devil God Pirs were now destroyedpletely, and so were the roots of the Devil n. All the power they brought from that ne started to disappear as the pirs were all destroyed. Their practice levels decreased as their powers were gone. Not only the average Devils, but also Feng Xiu and Agarez suffered the same loss. And their powers decreased even faster. Feng Xius face was even paler than that of Long Haochen. Dark purple blood gushed from his mouth continuously. Just now he had used all his strength to suppress his dark attribute as he turned the Anti-Heavenly Devil God Pir with divine power, in case it might affect Long Haochen. And when Long Haochen was fighting, he endured all the power of light from Long Haochen and turned it into fighting power. How difficult that was! However, he made it and held up until thest moment when Austin Griffin waspletely destroyed. The head of the Devils was relieved as if he had just let go the heaviest burden. He lifted up his hand to suggest all to keep quiet and stand there. He quietly looked at Long Haochen, whose body was losing purple lights and he was immersed in great sadness. Hao Yues aura grew weaker and Long Haochens face was full of tears as he could not sense any signs of Hao Yues breath. Austin Griffin was right. The head of ruin shared the same body with other heads. The moment the other heads bit the head of ruin off, Hao Yue already decided to devote his life to Long Haochen. Hao Yue was doomed to die unless the other heads had let Austin Griffin recover his wounds. As the core, the head of ruin would not die unless it was attacked. But Hao Yue without a core would die for sure. At thest moment, Hao Yue still did all he could to help Long Haochen kill Austin Griffin, not because of how much he loved humans or because of how much he cared about this ne. He did it all for Long Haochen. He was afraid that Long Haochen would be hurt and his master his brothers life would be at risk.. Therefore he helped Long Haochen with all his efforts to ovee all the difficulties. Chapter 872 - The Last Battle (III)

Chapter 872: The Last Battle (III)

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio Now all the problems were resolved and Hao Yue was dead, leaving this world forever and Long Haochen. Long Haochens heart twitched violently and that pain made him tremble out of control. He would rather die himself than have Hao Yue leave him! Memories shed in his mind. The first time he saw Hao Yue at Knights Holy Mountain, he used his own blood to help Hao Yue to change his attribute. Their friendship started then. Xiao Guang grew out. Hao Yue had two heads and became his best ymate. Hao Yue was always by his side as he grew up. Later, Hao Yue had the third head Xiao Qing, then Xiao Lan with the butterfly horn, then Xiao Zi, Xiao Huang, Xiao Jin and Xiao Lei. They grew up together happily. Before this day, Long Haochen never doubted Hao Yue and Hao Yue had been guarding Long Haochen and helped him to grow to be a strong man. Long Haochen was not wrong by trusting Hao Yue. Even when Hao Yeu was fully awakened and turned to the God of Heaven Wrath, nine-headed Qi Me, it did not signify Hao Yues betrayal. From the very beginning, for Hao Yue, Long Haochen had always been his closest friend, and Long Haochen cherished Hao Yue as his best buddy. Hao Yue apanied him to grow up and gave him stronger powers but now Hao Yue died for him. How could Long Haochen ept this fact? The purple golden armor disappeared in the air and left a great pain in Long Haochens heart. He tried his best to grab that purple aura but it went through his fingers. Hao Yue! Long Haochen shouted but he could stop nothing now. Atst when the final trace of purple disappeared from his body, Long Haochen fell to the ground with a pale look. Hao Yue had left. He felt like his heart was taken away with it. Suddenly a low voice woke him up from the sadness. He looked up at the sky. A purple illusory figure formed Hao Yues shape. It only had eight heads, so it did not have Austin Griffins soul. Eight heads with eight pairs of different colored eyes looked at Long Haochen gently as if telling something. Hao Yue, dont leave me! Long Haochen shouted and jumped at it. But suddenly ,Hao Yues figure turned illusory and became a purple whirlpool. It atst transformed to a little purple rune flying towards Long Haochen and fell in between his eyebrows. Long Haochens body shook violently and when he returned to the ground, he was in aa. On his forehead, the nine lines purple golden pattern dimmed. Atst the pattern turned to a little rune and stopped. It gradually went under Long Haochens skin. Hao Yues aura and figure disappearedpletely without a trace. Caier held Long Haochen when he fell on the ground and her pretty face was full of tears as well. She understood very well the friendship between Long Haochen and Hao Yue. This was a big blow to Long Haochen. But fortunately, he was still alive. Her man was alive and the war had ended. The God of Devils waved his hand at Bai Yue seeing that Long Haochen had fainted. Long Xingyu ran and stood in front of Bai Yue. He stared at the God of Devils with angry eyes. What do you want? Feng Xiu smiled slightly. Long Xingyu, though I despise you for what youve done in the past and I didnt really want to admit you as my son-inw, you blocked that strike for Haochen, so you might be a reliable man. All things end now. I just want a few words with my daughter. Long Xingyu was stunned as the God of Devils, who used to be so authoritative and powerful, now only looked so peaceful and benign. Bai Yue staggered behind Long Xingyus back, who quickly held her. Bai Yue did not look at him but nced at Long Haochen in Caiers arms and then turned to the God of Devils. What do you have to say? Feng Xiu smiled gently. Jid, I know that you do not see me as your father. You are right. Im not qualified to be your father and your mothers husband. No matter what happened in the past, the final ending is a tragedy and I am responsible for it. But I have to tell you again that your mother is the only love of my life. Lingxuan thought about me at herst moment. Do you know what I felt when I heard herst words? Bai Yue uttered not a word and looked at the God of Devils with red eyes. Feng Xiu sighed and said, I felt that my whole life was not a failure. I always had this goal to improve my practice level. I was proud of myself for being the strongest Devil God Emperor in history. But when I heard Lingxuansst words, I found that those things are not important to me. Whats important to me was that I had loved and I was loved back by your mother. Just as your mother said, I do not regret it. Bai Yue could no longer hold her tears and cried out. The God of Devils drew a deep breath.Yue, the seventy two Devil God Pirs are now destroyed. No matter what mistakes we have made to the humans in the past, the war should end now. Without pirs, within less than three years, all the power from the Devil God Pirs would disappear. And the Devil n who do not belong to this ne from the very beginning will be gone automatically, and the other ns that were turned to Devil n will gradually return to their original state. Humans need to do nothing but wait and then the Holy Demon Land will go back to you humans. I only hope that you do not turn your anger to my n who has already lost their power. Agarez is still alive. I believe that he will order all the Devils to behave. In less than one hundred years, the Devil n will be the past and everything will be assimted in the new world owned by humans. Alright. Thats all I want to say. Please tell my words to Long Haochen. After all, the Devil n did everything we could to stop this ne from being ruined. I believe that he would agree with myst request for this. Feng Xiu smiled widely and strong spiritual fluctuations spread out in the air. The God of Devils spread out his arms and looked up at the sky. Im the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Emperor, the greatest emperor in the Devil ns history but my n ends in my hands. No one can kill me, even Austin Griffin did not make it. Only I can kill myself. Bai Yue suddenly realized something and shouted, No! But she was still toote. In the God of Devils right hand, a short de appeared, formed with his own power. He thrusted it into his heart. But hisughter lingered and he turned to Long Haochen. Young man. I killed you once and even tore your heart into pieces. Now your grandfather had paid back the debts. Do you know that when I heard you calling me grandfather, I felt so happy. My first time to feel happy ever after Linguxan died. No Bai Yue ran towards the God of Devils crying and this time Long Xingyu did not stop her. When Bai Yue jumped down from Yu Longguan for the God of Devils, he knew that deep in Bai Yues heart, she had always loved her father. Donte close! The God of Devils shouted and Bai Yue fell on the ground. In the God of Devils chest, purple ck lights mixed with dark blue lights scattered around. He did not want his power to hurt his daughter. Looking at Bai Yue, the God of Devils voice became so gentle. He said, Yue, my daughter. I know Im not qualified to be your father. But in myst minutes, I have a little favor to ask you. Can you give me your mothersst letter? Then I can leave without any regrets. Let me find her with her blood on that letter. Can you? No matter how much hatred Bai Yue had for the God of Devils, he was her father after all! Especially now seeing her father passing away, she held no grudges against him. Dad! Bai Yue screamed sadly and flung herself at the God of Devils. Long Xingyu came behind her back and held her. Bai Yue might not be able to endure the pressure if she were to touch the God of Devils scary aura. The God of Devils smiled and said, My little girl, whats there to cry about? Its a good thing! Im not dying. Im going to find Lingxuan. You should be happy for us. If I do not leave, you will suffer more. I can do nothing for you now. Hearing you calling me dad, Im so happy, just like when Haochen called me grandfather. The family love of humans was so beautiful. Give the letter to me now.. Your mother is waiting for me.

Chapter 873: Hao Yue, Let Me Make Atonement For You

Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio ck and red filled up the whole world. Dirty air circled around in the sky. The temperature increased rapidly and the dark redva flowed out from the ground. Suddenly a gleam of purple light lit up unexpectedly in mid-air. It suspended there, then slowly spread to two sides and formed a door. Two figures hand in hand appeared in this world of ck and red. A young man covered with crystal white armor, wearing a crown decorated with nine diamonds looked dazzling. Once he appeared, the crystal white light easily blocked the dirty aura in this ck and red world. The woman next him appeared even more strange. She was so pretty and her long hair waved, suspending in the air. A fresh aura of purification rushed out from her body, which purified the dirty aura around her within one meter range. Finally we found the ce with Hao Yues blood trace. The man in the armor was Long Haoachen and the woman next to him was Caier. Caier said gently, Haochen, dont be in a hurry. Act ording to Hao Yues message. If he was reincarnated, he should be somewhere in this world. Long Haochen nodded and said, Hao Yue will reincarnate for sure. The rune of seal he left behind did not only increase my practice level over 999,999 points of spiritual power and fixed my level, but also it told me that he would reincarnate. If Im not mistaken, the rune he dropped on me was to tell me to put a seal on him in his next life. Even if Austin Griffin had left a bit of the soul of ruin in Hao Yues body, as long as I can seal its practice level, he will not grow strong enough to have the ninth head. That way, there would never be a God of Heaven Wrath and nine-headed Qi Me. That day Long Haochen, Hao Yue, and the God of Devils finally killed Austin Griffin. Hao Yue was killed as well and he left this rune to Long Haochen to help him to fix his level. That meant Long Haochen did not need to worry about his level decreasing after achieving the level of god. The God of Devils killed himself and took with him his wifesst letter to find her. To some extent, he did not die as his soul was tough due to his divine level. Maybe he could find his wifes soul. After the God of Devils died, the Devil n lost their leader and the Devil God Pirs. Their power as said by the God of Devils, disappeared as time went by. Long Haochen woke up from thea and discussed with Agarez. Agarez then returned to the Devil n, organized the rest of the Devil n, and led them towards the sea side. They returned half of thend to humans first and as time went by, the Devil n without pirs would be finally assimted with humans. A year quickly passed. Long Haochen and Caier, Si Maixan and Little White Folwer, Lin Xin and Li Xin, Han Yu and Wei Yang, Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Yinger and Yang Wenzhao all got married. Under the persuasion of Long Haochen, Bai Yue, who suffered both physically and mentally finally chose to forgive Long Xingyu. Long Xingyu took her back to Ao Ding Town and settled down in a small house on Ao Ding mountain. Long Xingyu also ended the contract between himself and the Sealed Divine Throne of Doom and ughter and passed the throne to Yang Wenzhao. He said that he would make it up to Bai Yue with the rest of his life and that he was no longer Sealed Divine Knight, but Bai Yues husband. When Long Xingyu devoted his life to Long Haochen, both Bai Yue and Long Haochen forgave him. After all, blood was richer than water! After the battle, Long Haochen enjoyed a great reputation in the Temple Federation and was recognized as the first hero in human history. Within one year, after getting married, Long Haochen worked hard to take over thend returned by the Devil n and dealt with all internal affairs in the Temple Federation with the help of all six temples seniors. Everything was on the right track now. Then Long Haochen proposed to apply the election system to the Federation chairman position. Every five year, the Federation congress would hold an election and elect a new chairman, vice chairman, and congressman, two consecutive terms at most. Darkness ended but thend did not return to peacepletely. Long Haochen had to continue his chairman position. Luckily, he made a scheme for his job and after nine years, he would bepletely free. He decided to take Caier to travel around the world between nes. For Long Haochen, the biggest regret was Hao Yue. One year had passed, Hao Yue, if reincarnated sessfully, should have been back now. And Long Haochen was prepared for Hao Yues reincarnation. Long Haochen and Caier stopped in the air and he gave out a long shout. After half an hour, ten Undead Emperors gathered. Feeling Long Haochens strong pressure, the ten emperors bowed and greeted. Long Haochen talked to them for half an hour and the emperors left. Are they truly trustworthy? Caier looked at Long Haochen with a worried look. What if they harm Hao Yue when they find him? Long Haochen shook his head and said, You do not understand their hearts. They would do everything, even burn their fire of soul to have this world regain life. It was Austin Griffin who ruined this world. We came this time to make an atonement for Hao Yue. I believe these emperors of undead know how to calcte. Let them start their search and we shall begin ours as well. Long Haochen led Caier and they fell down on the ground. He sensed the air was filled with poison in this world of ck and red and sighed. Ruin was always much easier than the creation. A green light shed. The Spirit God, Ye Xiaolei secretly crawled out of the eternal diamond in Long Haochens chest. This is the ce you mentioned? Such dirty air. Can we really find him here? Long Haochen nodded firmly and said, I believe so. For Hao Yue and for this ne to regain its life, I will try my best. Ye Xiaolei nodded and said, Lets start then. You have the aura of God of Creation in this armor. If there is one man who can do this, it will be you. Long Haochen smiled and said, Lets be the God of Creation in this ne. Caier put her hands in front of her chest and a white lotus moved in the air, one by one. Circles of white glow gradually purified the dirty air. Within a short time, a space of three thousand square meters and width of one thousand meters was purifiedpletely by the aura of domain of purification. The air has been refreshed. Long Haochen moved quickly like lightning and the earth gave out a huge sound of thunder. The ck earth crashed and the cracks ofva dropped down and was sealed by Long Haochen by force. Then huge pieces of mud spread out from the sky, which was the mud of the Holy Demon Land. The fresh smell of earth filled this space of three thousand square meters. Ye Xiaoleis body beamed with green light and the aura of life was injected into the earth when they fell from the sky to the ground. The ck earth was reced with yellow earth and the rich aura of life was deeply rooted in the ground. Long Haochen shouted to the sky and a bundle of golden light released from him and rose up to the sky like a golden sun suspended in the air. The solid spiritual power was fixed in the sky and gave out an aura of light. At his level, the little sun made by him couldst for at least one month. Long Haochen spread out the seeds to the ground and then water. Water fell gently into the ground like it was raining. Afterpleting all this, Long Haochen released some holy rains witchcraft magic and made the golden rain start falling again. Meanwhile, Eastons King was summoned to spread the aura of life to this space together with Ye Xiaolei. The green seed grew rapidly in the ground. Under the irrigation of aura of life, sun, and water, the seed grew so fast. The tree seedlings grew deeper and when absorbing the aura of life, they gave out their own aura of life. Long Haochen picked the most lively strongest seedlings which could grow in tough environments. After an hour, a forest quietly appeared on thisnd and shone in the light. They automatically purified the air in this space enveloped by a domain of purification. Many undead gathered at this green world and an indescribable emotion danced in their fire of souls. The Knight of Judgement and the Witch King came hand in hand. They looked at the greennd and felt a strong aura of life. They could not utter a word because of the excitement. Long Haochen looked at the undead outside of the domain of purification and said in a low voice, Austin Griffin ruined this ne and Im here today to make atonement for him.This is only the beginning. I will speak with my action to prove to you that the aura of life will grow again in this ne. Dirty ashes and poisonous clouds blocked the real sun. I n to use ten years to purify the space and clean all dirty things out, and then let the real sune back to this world. This ne is notcking in water. The water was hidden deep in the ground byva and mud. I believe that the moment when this ne regains life wille soon when I bring out the water from the ground and sun from the sky. I, Long Haochen swear in my living years, will let this ne recover its aura of life and the food chain system. I will make it to work and evolve again. Im not sure how long this will take but all I can say is that I will do my best. Hao Yue might have reincarnated already in this world or might never reincarnate. But no matter what, my promise to you will not change. I only hope that if you find him, please hide him well and dont hurt him. One day I will fulfill all the promises and at that time please return Hao Yue back to me. Clear? The Knight of Judgement and the Witch King flew on slowly and looked at the trees growing. They then kneeled down with one leg at the edge of the domain of purification. You are our God of Creation. I swear by my fire of soul that if Austin Griffin were to be reincarnated, we will take him to you, the Knight of Judgement said respectfully. Long Haochen quickly went out of the domain of purification. He held the Knight of Judgement and the Witch Kings arms. Thank you for your trust. Ill fulfill my promise. Now let me get back to my work. If possible, please ask your subordinates to help to ignite the fire of life again in this ne. Roger. All the undead creatures bowed to Long Haochen as the Knight of Judgement gave out his order ordingly. Long Haochen looked into distance and murmured, Hao Yue, Im here. Where are you? Thousands of meters away from here, on a small mountain, with a sound of stone hitting on the ground, an egg beaming with faint purple lights fell.. The egg shell cracked open and a little triangle lizard head was struggling toe out. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
